LAWRENCE, MI – Investigators in St. Joseph County, Ind., say they believe alcohol was a factor in the head-on crash Sunday that killed an 18-year-old Lawrence man just hours before he was set to graduate from high school.
Sheriff's deputies found a case of beer inside James R. Reeder's truck after responding to the crash at 4:30 a.m. Sunday on State Road 23 just south of the Indiana-Michigan border, Lt. Matthew Blank said.
Investigators said the crash occurred when Reeder's southbound truck crossed the road's centerline and struck a northbound fuel tanker truck that was driven by Troy S. Massey, 43, of Coloma.
"We believe that alcohol was involved in the crash," Blank said.
Deputies said the fuel truck's tanks were ruptured in the crash and the cab portion of the tractor-semitrailer burst into flames. The tanker portion of the truck, which had just been filled with 8,000 gallons of fuel at a depot in Granger, Ind., did not catch fire.
Massey was able to run from the fuel tanker and was treated later at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, Ind., for minor injuries to his back and face, police said.
Blank said deputies could not determine if any of the beer found in Reeder's truck had been consumed or how many cans there actually were in the case because of extensive damage to Reeder's truck.
Reeder, who was set to graduate from Lawrence High School at 2 p.m. Sunday, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
Blank said Reeder's family told deputies Reeder had gone to Elkhart, Ind., to visit a friend. Blank said police don't know if Reeder was on his way to visit the friend or on his way home when the crash occurred.
"It was one of the worst crash scenes I've ever seen," Blank said.
In the wake of his death, Reeder is being remembered as a hard worker who excelled in academics and sports at Lawrence High School.
However, police records show he had run into legal trouble just two weeks before his death.
Michigan State Police records show Reeder was arrested May 20 by the Cass County Sheriff's Office. He was charged by the prosecutor's office there on May 24 with one count each of operating a motor vehicle with a high blood-alcohol content, operating a motor vehicle as a minor with any blood-alcohol content and purchase/consumption/possession of alcohol by a minor.
The case was pending at the time of Reeder's death, according to police records.
Blank said deputies in Indiana are continuing to investigate the fatal crash and are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.
Visitation for Reeder is scheduled for 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Newell Funeral Home in Decatur. A funeral service is scheduled for noon Thursday at the funeral home.

The facility was once a renowned tuberculosis sanitarium, where a cure for that deadly disease was discovered in 1957. As a result, it thankfully put itself out of business.
In the 1960s, the hospital met its next challenge and changed its focus to care for the aged and infirmed, winning several national awards in the process..
With its long-standing mission of quality health care, Sea View would never be thought of as a center for quality works of art. But it is!
When planning the facility, the only goal of the architects was to create simple and efficient buildings that had an abundance of light, air and cheerfulness.
The buildings were designed with a Colonial Revival and Spanish Mission style. Raymond F. Almirall, the architect for most of the buildings, said that, "the architecture is modern and of no historical or geographical style."
The buildings had smooth wall surfaces, unadorned window openings and red tile roofs. Although the architects did not emphasize ornamental and decorative detailing, there were those who believed such details would help in the patients' therapeutic treatment.
Many of these patients would never walk out of Sea View and brightening each day was important. What they finally agreed upon was truly beautiful — the Delft tile friezes.
Acquiring its name from the Dutch village Delft, Delftware was made as early as the 16th century. It was originally a low-fired earthenware that was coated in a very thin opaque tin glaze with painted-on blue or polychrome design. It was in the last half of the 19th century that the Delftware became commonly referred to as Delft.
The tile friezes would become the most famous elements of the buildings' exterior ornamental designs. Created in Holland at the De Porceleyne Fles foundry in Delft, the tiles depict figures of physicians and nurses contrasted with a gold background, as well as colorful swags, crests and raised scallop shells.
They decorate the otherwise plain buildings. The most expensive use of these tiles can be seen below the roofline of the patient pavilions.
The technique used to create the tiles at Sea View Hospital was known as sectile, which was first introduced at the 1900 Paris World's Fair and was only used by the foundry in Delft between 1900 and 1910. The tiles created for Sea View were among the last made using this technique.
With the cure for tuberculosis, the buildings were no longer needed and with the passage of time, they fell into disrepair. The freeze/thaw cycle of our northeastern weather loosened many of the tiles, causing them to fall to the ground, where they would shatter.
About six years ago, several of these beautiful Delft scenes were saved and are presently on display in the lobby of Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Home.
Nearly 30 years after Sea View opened its doors, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was created. As part of this program, two painters were commissioned to produce 11 murals depicting the Historical Development of American Life for Sea View as part of the WPA program.
Axel Horn, a struggling Manhattan artist fresh out of art school, painted five murals, and Charles Davis painted six. The five murals painted by Horn were titled "The Economic Pursuits of Early American Settlers." They depicted early life in America and took from six months to a year to complete. Davis' murals depicted the "Progress of American Industry."
Born in Evanston, Ill., Davis trained at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and was commissioned to create murals for the Hall Library in Chicago and the Farm Colony on Staten Island. Davis returned to his native Illinois after completing his work here.
The murals were hanging in some of the old buildings at Sea View and were in danger of becoming severely damaged. To make matters worse, they were not accessible to the general public.
Many people did not even know they existed! They were removed for safe keeping by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, which owns the murals.
The good news is that the Staten Island Museum is working on an exhibit that will feature these murals. The exhibit will give everyone on Staten Island and the rest of the city an opportunity to view the work of these two artists.

15 SMALL BATH IDEAS: The Apartment Geeks share some small bathroom design ideas:
"The bathroom may be the only place in the house where you can relax and be comfortable. But what if, you only have a limited space for this so called comfort zone. Here's a list of ideas that you can use to make the most of every space of your bathroom."
SINGLE WALL KITCHENS: I'm noticing this design approach for kitchens more and more. You? From Houzz:
"The efficiency of single-wall kitchens happens through the spacing and location of these three elements, the sizing and articulation of the countertops, and the use (if any) of a nearby kitchen table or island. The following examples illustrate these efficiencies, but also how the single-wall kitchen relates to the rest of the house, particularly the adjacent dining and living space."

And so the curtain comes down on another League of Ireland season.
While the supporters of some clubs are giving a standing ovation and already looking forward to the next performance, fans of some teams are wondering whether their stars will be treading the boards at all next term.
In my final blog of the season I like to give out my annual awards for achievements over the course of the last 36 weeks.
I can't think of a name for the award, so I think I'm going to settle on 'Roddy' - so to the Roddy's of 2010:
Best Goal of the Season:
Anto Flood's wonder strike for Galway against Drogheda United was the choice of the MNS panel and it's hard to argue with that one. It was an absolute cracker, but I think Ronan Finn's goal for Sporting away to Dundalk would also be a very deserving winner. Great teamwork, passing, movement, and a killer finish as well. However, Anto Flood it is who collects the Roddy.
Most Talked About Mascot of the Year:
I suppose it has to be Hooperman. Love him or hate him, he's the most photographed and filmed club mascot ever in Irish soccer. His interaction with fans young and old at Tallaght and beyond is something that all clubs should be looking to emulate.
I know Bohemians fans claim he taunted them one day at Tallaght. That's not to be condoned, but getting hot under the collar over the actions of a super-hero does seem a bit silly in the cold light of day.
Best Line in a Match Report by One of the MNS Reporters:
Step forward Mr Eamonn Donohoe with this one, after an extremely dubious last-ditch tackle by Bray's Nicky Byrne, Eamonn commented: 'Not quite flying without wings, more flying by the seat of your pants.'
We're Turkeys, Let's Vote for Christmas Award:
There was only one contender for this, and it goes to the clubs who recently voted for a return to winter football. I still can't fathom what possessed them.
Anyone who froze their assets off at the Aviva Stadium for the Cup final will know that sitting in Arctic conditions watching football is not a pleasant experience. Give me the nice warm summer evenings, a cool drink, and a slice of Pizza or a burger. That's how it should be and hopefully will remain.
The Honey I've Shrunk the Squad Award:
There were a few contenders for this one, but in the end, I'm plumping for Sean Connor at Galway United, who brought some excellent additions into his squad early in the campaign, only to see the likes of Thomas Heary, Bobby Ryan and Anto Flood to name but three, walk out the gates of Terryland never to return because of financial restrictions at the club.
The Moaniest Fans on the MNS facebook Page:
This is a tough one, as almost every club has a few moany fans, but this year's Roddy, is going to be divided between the Sligo Rovers and Dundalk supporters. The award is mainly for the barrage of (Sligo Rovers, don't call us Sligo) and (Dundalk, all the referees hate us) correspondents.
We appreciate everyone who takes the time to post on our facebook page, but next season lighten up lads.
Biggest Fall from Grace Award:
I suppose, reluctantly, I have to award the Roddy to Bohemian FC.
As the American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said all those years ago: 'For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.'
It looks as if Bohs' quest for three league titles in-a-row, has left them staring into a financial abyss. I hope they survive. It wouldn't be the same without them.
Incidentally, the Save our Bohs campaign are having a fundraising night at Dalymount on Saturday night. Roddy Collins will be attending and is donating a league winners' medal for auction; fair play to the Rodmeister.
Best Match of the Season:
There are many contenders, but I think the Sligo Rovers versus Bohemians FAI Ford Cup semi final at Dalymount might get the vote because of Sligo's performance on the night.
Shamrock Rovers 3-0 win over the Gypsies was a great day for Hoops supporters too.
(I know Bohs were on the receiving end of both defeats there, but I said some nice things about them in the previous award, and there's only so far a Rovers fan can go!)
Best Atmosphere:
I suppose it's hard to beat 36,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium for the cup final, but I'd actually go for St Patrick's Athletic versus Shamrock Rovers at Inchicore; the first time they met this season.
The tight confines of Richmond Park lends itself to a good buzz for the matches and when it's full, it's a great place to be.
Save of the Season:
This one has to go to Ciaran Kelly for his four saves to win the FAI Ford Cup for Sligo Rovers.
After the disappointment of last year's final, it was a great comeback by the man from County Mayo. His name is now forever written into the history books at Sligo.
Honourable mention goes to Peter Cherrie and Alan Mannus who over the course of 36 games were probably the best net-minders in the League.
Best Result in European Competition:
This has to go to Shamrock Rovers for the win away to Bnei Yehuda in the Europa League. For a side from the Airtricity League to go to Israel and win was a considerable achievement, and the fact that Tommy Stewart's goal set up a tie with Juventus in the next round was the icing on the cake.
With some other European results leaving League of Ireland clubs downcast, this was a great shot in the arm for the domestic game.
Best Looking Player in the League:
The MNS broadcast coordinator Michelle selected the winner of this one, and after giving it serious consideration for quite some time, she decided that the Roddy should go to Sporting Fingal's Eamon Zayed.
Incidentally, our editor Brummie Steve was speaking to a Sporting Fingal player recently and described him to his face, as the best ugly player in the league. You can guess which player he was talking to, but I am not telling. The player took the slagging in the good spirit in which it was intended.
Best Referee of the Season:
This is a tough one. It really is a tough one, but it's hard to argue with the choice of the players at the PFAI Awards, where they voted for Alan Kelly. He is one of the rare referees in the league who uses common sense, knows what the advantage rule is, and keeps the yellow and red cards in his pocket until absolutely necessary. So for season 2010, the Roddy goes to Alan Kelly.
Best MNS Pundit of the Season:
This one will go to a public vote. Email firstname.lastname@example.com with your votes and we'll post the result on our facebook page in the next week or so.
Unluckiest Team of the Season:
This one goes to Monaghan United for the heartbreaking manner in which they were denied promotion at the end of the most dramatic extra-time period in play off history. Would Bray have replied if the wall hadn't collapsed? We'll never know, but Mick Cooke's boys came so close, and should be a team to watch for next season if he can keep his best players.
Manager of the Year:
This is possibly the most difficult category to come up with a winner.
Michael O'Neill: He brought the league title to Shamrock Rovers for the first time in 16 years and took them to an FAI Ford Cup final.
Paul Cook: He Won the FAI Ford Cup and the EA Sports Cup and qualified for Europe with Sligo Rovers.
Pat Devlin: He came into the hotseat with Bray looking absolutely doomed to relegation and turned things around when it looked un-turnaroundable.
Stephen Kenny: He Got Derry promoted at the first time of asking from a hugely tough and competitive first division.
Sean Connor: He lost many of his players from an already small squad, but still managed to keep Galway United in the big time.
In the heel of the hunt, I hope you'll forgive me for plumping for the man who's team won the league title for the first time since I had dark hair - the Roddy goes to Michael O'Neill.
It's been a hugely enjoyable season for the MNS team putting the programme together every week. We've been really heartened by the great response we've got from the viewers, and thank everybody for taking the time to get in touch with us with comments, good and bad.
I can't wait until next March when the race for the 2011 Roddys begins again.
Keep up to date with developments on the Monday Night Soccer facebook page and the MNS website rte.ie/mns.
You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com all the time, and write to us at MNS, RTÉ Sport, Donnybrook, Dublin 4.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Maybe seeing SuperBikes zooming around Barber Motorsports Park with riders' knees just inches from the pavement wasn't enough.
Now you can see some motorcycle riders taking flight as well.
On top of the racing to which fans have become accustomed, this year's Triumph SuperBike Classic presented by America's First Federal Credit Union will feature amazing displays of bike control with stunt bike and freestyle motocross demonstrations throughout a packed two-day session on June 21-22.
High-flying Freestyle Motocross jumpers will perform three times per day in the Castrol Fan Zone. Soaring 40-feet overhead between take-off and landing ramps 75-feet apart, these X Games medalists will also be available for autographs between shows.
"It's something we're bringing out to help grow the event, help maybe get some interest from folks who haven't been out for the SuperBike event in the past," said Rick Humphrey, vice president of ZOOM Motorsports, the exclusive promoter at Barber Motorsports Park. "In the motorsports and entertainment industry, you always try to add, you always try to look for something new and something entertaining to attract even more folks. This freestyle motocross motorcycle stuff that folks see on TV and on the X Games is something that we're able to provide, happy to provide."
Additionally, Nick Apex and Ernie Brocha will once again entertain with their trick rides during the lunch break of the Triumph racing action each day. Wheel stands, wheelies and other stunts will be performed around the racing surface by the internationally recognized duo.
"They ride Triumphs and they'll do the wheelies and the front wheel stands and a variety of stunts like that," Humphrey said. "The motocross guys will be jumping ramps, coming off their bikes - the stuff you see on TV."
The Castrol Fan Zone will also feature as many vendors and motorcycle manufacturers as it's had in quite some time. Triumph, Kymco, EBR and Suzuki will have their latest motorcycles on display. Suzuki, for the first time in several years, will offer demo rides as well.
"The general public can get on Suzuki's latest bikes and take them for a ride," the ZOOM vice president said. "Fans can get on bikes and take them out much like you would do if you went out and demoed a car at a car dealership."
Tickets are $30 a day or $50 for the two-day weekend. Paddock upgrades are included in the price of a two-day ticket and are also available for daily tickets. Parade laps, tent & motorhome camping, and RV spots are also available in limited quantities.
"The biggest change of the entire weekend on top of this additional entertainment is it's a two-day event instead of three," Humphrey said. "There will be seven races jammed into two days. They'll hit the track Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and come off at 5 on Saturday and the same type schedule on Sunday.
"It's pretty much non-stop action and when something does stop on the track, something will be going on in the Fan Zone to keep the folks entertained," he said.
The Motorcycle Super Saver ticket is another option for motorcycle enthusiasts who catch the action at Barber Motorsports Park. This $90 ticket is valued at $200 and includes general admission and paddock access for four motorcycle events at the park along with a Sunday parade lap where fans can ride their own motorcycles around the 2.38 mile track during the Triumph Superbike Classic weekend.
The Motorcycle Super Saver will also include two WERA events and the 10th Annual Barber Vintage Festival presented by Triumph Dealers of North America on October 10-12.
Throughout the weekend, children ages 15 and younger receive free general admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult. For additional information and to purchase tickets or camping, visit www.barbermotorsports.com.

Welcome to my new Just Coasting column, which will be published four days a week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday). My goal is to provide a snapshot of what's happening on Mobile's entertainment scene.
I had a conversation recently with a friend who was thoroughly disgusted with the marketing efforts of a certain local institution. An act he really liked had just performed there, but once again he hadn't heard about it until it was too late to make plans and get a ticket.
I'm not going to name names. Marketing is a challenge for anyone in this day and age, when social media and other online channels vie with traditional media outlets. I gently suggested a more proactive approach, which of course should include reading every word I write. (If you don't find that shameless self-promotion off-putting, just click here and bookmark the resulting link, it's easy.)
The conversation made me think. In yesterday's column, I rounded up some highlights for this weekend. In this one, I'm publishing some highlights of the weeks and months to come: Major festivals, followed by listings of major concerts at the biggest venues in our region. Note: Our listings for shows at Biloxi casinos are extensive enough to deserve a place of their own. You can find them by clicking here.
In a bygone era, it's the kind of thing you might have clipped out of the paper and taped to the refrigerator. Now you can either bookmark it, or duct-tape your iPad to the fridge. Your call. As always: If there's something you think should be listed here, feel free to add it in the comments section below, or send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now, the stuff that should be on your radar:
The Buku Music + Art Project takes place March 21-22 in New Orleans, with a lineup that includes The Flaming Lips, David Guetta, Ellie Goulding, Kaskade, Zedd, Chomeo, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and more. Tickets are $169.50 and up. www.thebukuproject.com.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – One of the freshman class of people charged with Michigan's Organized Retail Crime law, a felony punishable by as much as five years in prison, saw the charge dismissed and was able to walk out of the courtroom a free woman.
Lisa Dawn Ehorn, 26, pleaded guilty to second-degree retail fraud on Monday, Oct. 21, and Kent County Circuit Court Judge George Buth sentenced her to time served, as well as a slew of fees and fines totaling more than $1,000.
Ehorn was arrested May 17 after a store loss prevention officer spotted her and some juveniles, presumably her children, stealing items valued between $200 and $1,000 at the JC Penney at Grandville's RiverTown mall, according to court records.
Ehorn allegedly told investigators she planned to sell some of the items. This prompted prosecutors to charge her with Organized Retail Crime. That law took effect in March and is aimed at people who steal things with the intention of reselling them.
Related: New Michigan law makes shoplifting a crime that results in prison time
Court records indicate that one of the witnesses in the case would have had to be brought in from Florida, increasing the cost of prosecution.
Ehorn was allowed to plead guilty to the more standard one-year misdemeanor shoplifting charge.

(As for the stress, if you have read this blog long enough, you know that I have a tendency to FREAK OUT OMG OMG as soon as any crisis rears it's head, and then I feel all silly when it works itself out, even if it seems like it won't. So, I already FREAKED OUT, and now I am going to give it a couple of weeks to work itself out before I go any further down the crazy path, ha.)
Anyhoo, one of the fun things about post-holidays is that I can start sharing the Xmas presents I made for everyone. First up is my knitted gift for my BFF John. He lives back home in NY, where it is cold cold cold. He needed something to keep his precious little head warm. So I knit him a little something to help him out :)
A hat:
And a matching scarf:
The pattern I used is Christian's Scarf and the matching Christian's Hat. The yarn used used is Debbie Stoller's Knit Nation Washable Ewe in Earth, a 100% wool yarn so it's super warm. It's a deeper brown than the pictures show. It was a simple knit, just your basic purl and knit stitches repeated to make the ribbed boxes.
Doesn't he look happy?
I do have more post-holiday gift posts coming, but I am still waiting for my mother to open all her gifts so I can post pics. Now that she is on the internet, I can just show everything I make her now. But the candles, some embroidery, another knitting project, and some 2013 & 2014 Project Life posts are coming. And, of course the 2014 Goals post that every blogger does, I am still solidifying all of that in my mind.
I hope everyone had an awesome holiday, we definitely did. And I hope you are starting the new year rested and ready to see what the next 12 months bring. Who knows what will happen!!

Green Bay, Wis.(WFRV)- Coastal bodies of water in the Green Bay area had a health checkup by area water experts.
NEW Water and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant completed the first water conditions report of the Green Bay area in two decades. The report shows the coastal wetlands are in fair condition and updated data on fish and wildlife populations. According to the report, fish populations are doing well and beach closings due to bacterial contamination are also at a fair level. Invasive species and water toxins were identified as the biggest threats to the ecological health.

Why people need God for morality
RE: Why people need God for morality
(21-02-2010 09:37 PM)supermanlives1973 Wrote:(21-02-2010 02:04 PM)ashley.hunt60 Wrote: As an atheist, I see basic morals coming from our nature, and the fine points coming from our community. Although the optimist in me likes to say that the nature breed into humans is too strong for a theist going atheist to go on a killing rampage, I wonder. Looking at places and times like Nazi Germany, we see that our society has a lot to do with our morals. So if a theist somehow is forced to become an atheist, would they be able to find their morals from within, or would they think they lost their sense of right and wrong with their faith in god? I have always wondered that.
First of all, you are right, I see no possible way to force someone to become an atheist, but I use that as a "What If" case. WE also both agree that our morals come from the same places. I think I might not have been clear when saying where theists draw their morals. It's not necessarily from the scriptures themselves, but how their world interpreters the holy book. So that morals don't always come from the bible, but the priests. If you somehow managed to remove the faith from the person, I'm sure it would be very traumatic. Some would probably realize that that even without god, they still know right from wrong, but some might not make that jump. Not that they lack morals, but they lack the ability to recognize them. If that makes sense.
I don't believe Jesus is the son of God until I see the long form birth certificate!
RE: Why people need God for morality
(03-03-2010 05:44 AM)josephtamis Wrote: Hi,
Have you READ the bible? Find me a verse in the OT/NT from god that shows anything about compassion, caring, love, etc., etc., etc.
I am reading it and no where in the text I have read so far do I see the 'god' that you all talk about (the loving one). As far as I can tell so far, god will kill you no matter what small transgression you do...
As an example, read Deuteronomy 28 and tell me where the morality is in the section about punishment for disobedience...
Would I, as a father, be condemned or praised for enacting those types of punishments on my children for their disobedience?
Would you, josephtamis, use god's methods as your own when punishing your children (I assume you have kids, if not, take it hypothetically)?
On The Atheist Experience, a guy had called in to try and convince the host Matt Dillahunty that the bible was a moral book. Matt flat out asked the guy "Would you kill your own child if god had commanded you to?" At first, the guy disagreed but, by the end of the call, he said he would. Is this the same thing you believe, josephtamis? If god commanded you to kill people (regardless of the reason, if he's god, he doesn't need one), would you do it?
If you answer 'yes', then I'd be concerned for you and the people around you.
If you answer 'no', then your morality does NOT come from the bible but from the same place it comes from for ALL humanity...as a by product of our evolution, of our community, from our humanism that we ALL have. There are NO moral teachings in the bible that we, ourselves, have from millenia of evolution, of 'trying to get things right'.
I'll leave you with a final though, from Christopher Hitchens:

There's something for every kind of reader on the library's shelves, and this week's new arrivals are no exception. Warm up your winter reading list with one of these page-turners.
"Manifest Injustice: The True Story of a Convicted Murderer and the Lawyers Who Fought for His FreeDom" by Barry Siegel; January 2013; 400 pages
Here's a solid recommendation for fans of John Grisham, Harlan Coben and Michael Connelly and for true crime fans. Bill Macumber was imprisoned for nearly 40 years for a crime he denied committing. In a fast-paced, suspenseful style which enhances the intriguing facts of this true story, journalist Barry Siegel recounts Macumber's long and twisted road to justice and portrays the lawyers, police officers, and other personalities that played a role in Macumber's imprisonment and appeals.
"Aloha, Lady Blue" By Charley Memminger; January 2013; 320 pages.
Written in the style of John D. MacDonald, this is the first in a new series featuring Stryker McBride, a crime reporter living on a houseboat in Hawaii. While investigating the murder of a beauty queen's grandfather, McBride meets a cast of unique characters and uncovers secrets he didn't anticipate. This is a quick, somewhat formulaic mystery that will appeal to readers who like a strong sense of place (and Magnum P.I.).
"The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society" By Darien Gee; January 2013; 448 pages,
Debbie Macomber loved this book and so will her fans. An unlikely group of women, all living in a very small midwestern town, get together at the local tea shop to scrapbook their memories. Although each comes from a different background and struggles with her own challenges, the friendships formed help all the women become stronger and move forward. For readers who are looking for their next "Friday Night Knitting Club" or "The Shop on Blossom Street."

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The LSU Tigers have picked up another transfer, although this one will have to sit out a season because of NCAA rules.
Former Mandeville star Jamie Bruno said Wednesday that he's headed to LSU after two seasons at Tulane.
The former Class 5A all-stater played first base and designated hitter for the Green Wave last season and batted .229 with four home runs.
The left-handed Bruno is playing for the Wisconsin Woodchucks of the Northwoods League this summer, hitting .246 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 61 at-bats.

Missoula – Our Hometown
Can an entire city, or even an entire state be considered a "studio?" Here in Missoula, Montana we think it can. From our historic downtown, to the golden mountains that ring our valley, to the picturesque ranches, rodeos, and wild mountainscapes radiating out across our home state, we think you'll find it an incomparable place to study photography.
When RMSP students first arrive here they immediately understand why Missoula appears regularly in national magazines' "Best Town" lists. It's been called the Best Mountain Town, Best Town for Retirees, best town for fishing, paddling, cycling. You get the idea. For all those reasons—mountains, rivers, historic architecture, colorful locals—it also happens to be one of the best cities for photographers.
As the cultural capital of the Northern Rockies, the city itself hums with creative energy. Within a short walk from RMSP's downtown location in the historic Higgins Building, there are art galleries, photography studios, art house movie theaters, twice-weekly farmer's and artisan markets, an eclectic mix of bistros, and a vibrant riverfront lined with walking paths and endless photographic opportunities. Summertime features a flood of festivals, parades, and Shakespeare in the Park performances. Even the bars here are creative—the walls of the legendary Charlie B's are lined with Lee Nye's framed black-and-white portraits of the bar's rough-hewn regulars from the 1970s.
Our summers are legendary for their sun-drenched days, cool nights, and bring-you-to-tears sunsets over the western mountains. Permanently protected natural areas ring the city and are alive with crystalline creeks, old-growth forest, and, at the high points, views across mountains stacked upon mountains. Three major rivers converge here—the Bitterroot, Clark Fork, and the storied Blackfoot of A River Runs Through It fame—offering an almost absurd wealth of fly fishing, river running, and scenic riches. Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, 25 miles south and one of our favorite shooting locations, is a wonderland of bird life and reedy marshes, still pools, and stands of cottonwood all backed by the vaulting, sawtooth pyramids of the Bitterroot Mountains. Ninepipes National Wildlife Refuge, an hour north at the foot of the mighty Mission Mountains, is even more spectacular.
That's just our backyard. Head 3 hours north and you're in Glacier National Park, 4 hours southeast and you're in Yellowstone—two of the most scenic national parks in the country. The valleys in between are dotted with working ranches and true-blue cowboys who don't wear Stetson's, tight jeans, and giant belt buckles to be trendy, it's just who they are.
All together, it's a feast for the hungry photographer. You can understand why spending time in Missoula and Montana—our studios writ large—often proves as rewarding to our students as the school itself.

what's best for isonic 111 and bigger ones and for 101 and smaller ones ?
21st November 2007, 10:33 PM
I think you need to give a little more information than that.
For instance.
What conditions are you sailing in?
What winds strength?
Do you want it for downwind speed or slalom racing on a short or lon cource etc?
What do you weigh?
What is your skill level?
What sails will you be using with each?
Do you like sailing with a larger fin for a given setup or a smaller fin?
Otherwise any info people may offer will be a bit vague.

I've been using a 36cm goldwing on my 111 and its been fantastic (using a 6.7), i've also got a 40 and 44cm tomcat's - which i've used a couple of times but i've been lucky enough to getting conditions that suited the 36 (and 6.7) 90% of the time i've used the board
the standard Drake's will give a good indication of the fin sizes for the board your looking at - and all those other factors Phil mentioned will influence what works.

To the Editor:
I was appalled to read in the December 4th issue of the Cranford Chronicle of a decision by the Garwood Council to rezone several multi-family dwellings as single family homes even though "most of the affected properties have been two-family since 1923."
Property owners will then have to purchase a certificate of non-conformity for $400 and go hat in hand before the planning board. Long ago I learned that loyalty rarely flows in any direction other than up, but it must be disheartening to pay your taxes year after year only to have your so-called representatives shake you down in such fashion. However, town budgets are tight, and as there has been no complaint from those affected, one must assume that this action is acceptable.
Perhaps, though, Garwood should take a page from the Cranford playbook in order to generate a steady flow of income. Ever since the bridge by the canoe club has been closed for repair, motorists, realizing there is never any opposing traffic, have been turning left on red into the welcoming arms of the CPD. Common sense not withstanding, it doesn't matter that the light serves no purpose – the law is the law. The light could have been shut off or set to blink, but at about $75 a pop, it's a fantastic, albeit temporary, revenue stream, and it adds fuel to the current CPD staffing level argument.
Oh, here's a thought. We could double the take by putting a similar light at the other end of the bridge at Holly and Springfield to control the same non-existent traffic not coming from the other direction.
While we're at it, let's put up a couple of "Come Shop in Friendly Cranford" signs.

"A doting mother, a committed and strong wife, a supportive and caring sister, a willing shoulder to cry on for anyone willing to seek comfort. An immovable force in your convictions. Everyone who has known you is better for it, and they share the pain of your family. You bring a smile to my face with every thought. You will be greatly missed, though I know you will never be far away," wrote her brother, Justin Buessing.
Another brother, Eric Buessing, wrote, "As I look at the long list of individuals on here and think of the ones that are not, I am reminded of how truly special my sister was. There are so many stories going through my mind of our childhood and times we shared that I could literally write for hours about the characteristics that made her unique. Barbara touched more people in her short time on earth than many of us do in a lifetime."Yet another entry on the Facebook page -- apparently set up to send prayers to Ms. Esselborn and her family before her untimely death -- was from Elena Arman-Tang.
"I went to your wake yesterday to say goodbye. My heart aches for your parents, your siblings, your husband, but most of all your two beautiful sons! May your entire family know that they are not alone. You are loved by so many and will be remembered always."
Colleagues and students of Ms. Esselborn also wrote in a guestbook on Legacy.com.
"I worked at PS18 with Barbara. It is sad news indeed. She was lovely. Keep her in your thoughts always," wrote Jean Siegel on Legacy.com.
Said Gina Milazzo on Legacy.com, "I am going for my masters in education and I observed in Mrs.
Esselborn's science classes. She was very welcoming and sweet. I am
blessed to have met her. A beautiful lady."

Daimler Trucks North America confirmed Tuesday that it is warning workers of a "potential layoff" across its manufacturing sites.
spokesman for the heavy–duty truck maker said it would offer more
details Thursday as it complies with federal reporting standards. An
estimated 1,000 work at its Swan Island factory and another 1,800 at its
Portland- based headquarters.
The news arrives just more than a year after Daimler announced plans to hire at least 1,500 workers at its U.S. factories, which churn out Freightliner and Western Star trucks.
Portland city officials celebrated the expansion as a much-needed boost to Oregon's manufacturing sector, reeling from a recession that uprooted tens of thousands of jobs. Daimler itself had planned to close the factory in 2010.
Sales started to pick up the next year, and that October, the company announced it would add a second shift and hire 350 there by the end of 2012. It also said it would create 75 jobs at its headquarters.
Then orders for new Class 8 heavy-duty trucks started to slow in the second half of 2012, said Steven Agran, a New Jersey-based analyst and managing director of financial consulting firm MorrisAnderson.
Sales won't be as strong in 2013 compared to recent years, he said, in part because of uncertainty tied to the overall economy. "The big unknown we have right now is: 'What is the economy going to do?'"
Market researcher IBISWorld expects the truck manufacturing industry's growth to slow considerably, from 4.8 percent during the five years ending 2013 to 0.4 percent the five years starting 2013. Revenues wont rebound to their pre-recession peak, said Lauren Setar, an IBISWorld transportation industry analyst in Santa Monica.
Despite the markets weakness, Germany's Daimler AG called its truck business outlook very promising in December. Its North American division had sold 129,000 trucks from January to November, a 21 percent uptick compared to the same time in 2011. It will issue full-year results Feb. 7.
manufacturers are still struggling to find momentum out of the
recession. Producers of durable goods meant to last at least three years
have gained 8,000 jobs since December 2009, the industry's lowest point
during the economic downturn. Statewide, those companies employed
121,600 in December, about three-quarters of Oregon's manufacturing

It was good to finally see some details about the fate of Sandy Hook after Hurricane Sandy ("Gateway's summer in doubt," news, Dec. 3). It would be a shame to miss a year of visits to one of New Jersey's best spots.
But I am struck by how much less terrible it is to see the mess that is Sandy Hook, compared with the sad devastation of inhabited towns such as Union Beach. Sandy Hook is just living up to its name, and by keeping it lightly developed, nature can run its course without tragic consequences.
We need to take this chance to return other narrow strips of sand to a more natural state, so future storms won't leave so many homeless or hurt.
Cathryn Cole-Diouf, Plainfield
Measuring poverty
PolitiFact New Jersey has assessed state Sen. Barbara Buono's reference to the record-setting U.S. poverty level of 15 percent as "Mostly True" except for a few years when it was as high or higher (Dec. 3).
But we can't forget that such national percentages mean little until we take into account what it costs to live in an area. New Jersey is so expensive that even though a household may be bringing in twice the dollar amount that defines official poverty, the household still qualifies for financial help from our state agencies.
And the United Way's current study of the state's financial hardship combines the number of households in official poverty with the many more whose steady income is not enough for a survival budget. The total comes to 34 percent of the state's households. That number is every bit as distressing as the federal poverty rate.
Brock Haussamen, Bound Brook
Storm wars
The federal government should attempt to prevent tropical storms or hurricanes by experimenting with dissolving or destroying them before they approach the U.S. mainland.
With the United States' ability to send rockets and missiles into outer space, it should be very easy for them to place an explosive-type ordnance into the center of a moving tropical storm or hurricane to blow it apart and destroy it. We could name it "Operation Hurricane Wars."
With the cost of Sandy approaching the $200 billion mark and most likely higher, plus the emotional hardships rained upon us, the government should take the initiative to experiment with such a project to attempt to eliminate hurricane-magnitude storms before they damage our communities.
Robert A. Kortenhaus, Ocean
Tax cut effects
Paula Esposito was off-base in her comments about Samia Bahsoun's article ("Listen to the voices of Main Street," Reader Forum, Nov. 28). By addressing only whether the wealthy 2 percent will "hardly notice" their tax increase, Esposito attempted to obscure the main issue: What policies will affect the fewest in a negative manner and benefit the majority meaningfully?
Those advocating tax largesse to the wealthiest focus their rhetoric on the negative impacts of reduced small business investment, raising the specter of job losses. Esposito is confusing this issue with the much lesser economic multiplier effect of upper-crust spending.
But the job-loss argument is bogus for two reasons: 1) The vast majority of small business owners aren't even close to the $250,000 cutoff, and 2) recent history shows that tax-cutting policies simply don't sustain economic growth.
Dan Lotto, West Caldwell
Taxing the rich
Since President Obama is so focused on taxing the rich, defined as those who earn more than $250,000 a year, why don't you select some people here in New Jersey who earn $250,000 to profile?
If you are a man with a wife and two kids who makes that salary, no way do you experience yourself as rich, because our cost of living is so high.
Right now, there is federal payroll tax, income tax, state income tax, sales tax, property tax, mortgage, food, commuting. ... Then there is the high percentage of us in New Jersey who pay for tutors for our children who struggle in some subject in school. That will go.
How about cutting back on going out to dinner and hiring a babysitter. We'll buy fewer clothes, fewer everything. That will dent the economy, won't it?
Obama's out to squeeze us here in New Jersey. Does he really think we are going to sit here and just take it? We'll change how we live — first off, by pursuing employment in lower tax states.
Finally, why is it that the "rich" are supposed to carry everyone else? Since when is a free ride our policy in America? What about everyone gains, everyone sacrifices to his or her ability?
Louise Vivona-Miller, Basking Ridge
Utility monopoly
Today, I got a bill for which I have to hire an accountant and a magician to figure out.
I have been on a budget of $238 a month for more than two years. Now that I have lost power for 11 days due to Hurricane Sandy, I have been blessed with a bill of $326 for the month, with a gobbledygook explanation that, from now on, my budget will be $242 a month due to their costs of repairing storm damage. But in the account summary, it reads, "Your actual account balance is $187.12."
If Albert Einstein were still alive and I could afford hiring him, I would, but unfortunately, now I am at the mercy of the geniuses who work for JCP&L to explain how being without power raises your bill from $187 to $326. Despite all the damage Sandy did, I am willing to bet that JCP&L will show a profit this year for their stockholders and no one will be held responsible.
It's time our officials start investigating who and what is behind this monopoly. Someone is making big bucks.

CLOVIS, N.M. - The mother of a Clovis teen-ager who died nearly three years ago as the result of a brutal attack filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit in state district court Thursday against 19 people, including the parents of the group of girls charged in the incident.
Regina McCollum died Aug. 14, 1998, at the age of 13 after she was beaten severely, then stabbed repeatedly in the neck. A fatal knife wound cut her jugular veins and carotid artery.
Attorney Bruce Fogarty of Clovis, who along with his law firm partner Milton Zentmyer is representing McCollum's mother, Anna Dodge, in the civil suit, said their client is trying to make a point about parental responsibility and keeping the focus on her daughter as a crime victim.
"Anna Dodge wants to make it clear that this is not about collecting a lot of money," Fogarty said. "It's about sending a message about parents being more responsible and having more control over their children. She also believes that the focus should not shift, as it so often does, from the victim of a crime to the perpetrators."
New Mexico is one of about a dozen states that allows crime victims to sue the parents, guardians or custodians of minor defendants in cases involving death, injury or destruction of property, Fogarty said.
According to the New Mexico Children's Code, the maximum amount of monetary damages that can be sought from the parent, guardian or custodian of a child is $4,000 plus attorneys' fees.
In her lawsuit, Dodge names the two adult men and three teen-age girls who were convicted in the attack; one teen-age girl who is charged with several felonies but has not yet been tried; two other girls who were alleged to have some level of involvement but were not charged with crimes; and the parents and/or guardians of all six minor girls, according to court documents.
Among the parents named in Dodge's lawsuit are former state Rep. Vincent "Smiley" Gallegos, who served 10 years as a Clovis Democrat in the New Mexico Legislature, and his wife Dorothy. Their daughter, Mariana I. Gallegos, who turns 18 today, is one of the defendants who pleaded guilty to criminal charges related to the attack on McCollum.
The other two teen-age girls convicted are Ruby Guerra, 17, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for stabbing McCollum; and Felicia S. Duran, 18, who pleaded guilty to several felonies.
Duran's half-sister, Francesca Lopez, who turned 16 last month, has not gone to trial yet because both sides are awaiting a decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court about whether her initial statements to police should be suppressed or allowed at trial.
The two men convicted in the incident - Patrick Robles, 24, and Martin Aragon, 24 - do not have their parents listed in the civil lawsuit because both were adults at the time of McCollum's death, Fogarty said.
In addition, Dodge's civil lawsuit names Diana Chapman and Diana De La Cruz, who her attorneys allege had some level of involvement but were not charged with any crime.
The other parents named in Dodge's wrongful death lawsuit include Guerra's mother, Triva Lopez; Guerra's guardian, Lisa Salinas; Guerra's father, Louis Guerra; Francesca Lopez's and Duran's mother and stepfather, Olivia and Carlos Orevalo, who could face double liability; Duran's father, Mariano Hidalgo; Chapman's mother, Vera Montano; Chapman's father, David Chapman; and De La Cruz's parent or guardian, Juanita Olivas.

Land take by transport infrastructure
Assessment made on 01 Jan 2002
Generic metadata
ClassificationTransport (Primary theme)
Land use
DPSIR: Pressure
Policy issue: Minimise land take per transport unit
Key messages
Land take by transport infrastructure is increasing
Fancybox relations
Key assessment
Land resources in most of Europe are relatively scarce, and achieving a sustainable balance between competing land uses is a key issue for all development policies. The spatial impact of policies (including transport) on the European territory is therefore one of the key issues in the European spatial development perspective (ESDP) and the sixth environmental action programme.
The ESDP proposes the integration of transport policy and land-use planning to specify the appropriate location of activities requiring journeys, with focus on the development of Euro-corridors. The common transport policy aims for an optimal use of existing infrastructure and some Member States have developed land-use policies restricting additional transport developments in certain areas.
Lack of up-to-date and historical land coverage data (e.g. GIS data) hampers the accurate assessment of land �consumption� by transport. However, the increasing length of roads, particularly motorways, and the development of other roads shows that more and more land is being used for transport in the ACs as well as in the EU.
Because of its denser infrastructure networks, land taken by transport in the EU is greater than in the ACs. It is estimated that, in 1998, road and rail infrastructure claimed around 0.82 % of total surface area in the ACs and 1.3 % in the EU. Road is the biggest land consumer in the ACs as well as in the EU.

GENEVA — Apparel production in developing countries, led by gains in China, Indonesia and Turkey, increased 3.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the same period the year before, but the sector came in below the 7.5 percent increase in total manufacturing in developing countries due to a decline in consumer demand in recession-hit Europe and slack growth in other industrialized nations, a United Nations report said.
The prospect for growth in manufacturing in developing economies for 2013 "greatly depends on the recovery trends in industrialized countries and policy measures adopted by developing countries," said the report by the Vienna-based U.N. Industrial Development Organization.
The report shows decreases in apparel production by some major apparel-producing nations such as India, down 0.4 percent; Egypt, off 50 percent, and Brazil, which fell 5.1 percent. This was countered by gains from Turkey, up 10.3 percent, and China and Indonesia, each up about 6.7 percent. Global apparel production fell 0.1 percent, the report said. In the same period, apparel output in industrialized economies declined 7 percent. In the U.S., apparel production in the period fell 4.2 percent, while Italian manufacturing in the sector was off 12.7 percent.
World textile output also posted a mixed performance but overall delivered better results than apparel, with global production increasing 4.2 percent, with developing countries gaining 7.4 percent and industrialized countries falling 2.4 percent.
In the U.S., textile production grew 0.9 percent in the fourth quarter and 1.9 percent for the year, while China output increased 8.9 percent for the quarter and 10.3 percent for the year. India saw a 6.2 percent gain, and Turkey advanced 3.2 percent.
However, textile production declined 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter in Brazil, 15.7 percent in Egypt, 2.5 percent in Indonesia and 1.7 percent in Italy.
Overall, global manufacturing in all sectors expanded 1.2 percent in the quarter compared with the same period in 2011, and represented the lowest quarterly growth rate since the last quarter of 2009.
UNIDO's data also highlight that industrialized nations are trailing by big margins in manufacturing growth rates compared with robust emerging economies such as China, with the exception of a few economies, such as the U.S.
In the fourth quarter, U.S. manufacturing increased 2.7 percent and expanded 4.3 percent for the year, but in Europe's major economies it fell by 2.9 percent in Germany, 3.9 percent in France, 1.8 percent in the U.K., 6.9 percent in Italy and 6 percent in Spain. Meanwhile, China's total manufacturing grew 9.9 percent in the quarter and 10.3 percent for the year.
But the report also observes that, despite the more positive scenario for developing nations, "the impact of the global contraction" on the industrial expansion of emerging nations is evident, and adds that since the beginning of 2012, industrial growth "including in China continuously decelerated."

CLEAR LAKE - Clear Lake has long been one of the elites in the Class 3A boys' golf landscape.
So to beat the Lions on their home course? Yeah, kind of a big deal.
A day after topping Clear Lake at the Spencer Invitational, Webster City did it again yesterday afternoon - this time by the slimmest of margins - at the All Vets Club.
"We had a nice rebound meet," WCHS head coach Dave Brighton said. "It was a good way to recover from (finishing second) at the Spencer Invite."
The Lynx recorded three sub-40 rounds and fired a 155 to nip the Lions (156) by one shot. Clarion-Goldfield (172) brought up the rear at the North Central Conference triangular.
Returning state qualifier Alec Fuhs led WCHS with a 37, two shots in front of his twin brother Avery (39) and fellow teammate Logan Yates (39).
Fact Box
Tuesday at All Vets Club
Clear Lake
Webster City (155) - Alec Fuhs 37, Avery Fuhs 39, Logan Yates 39, Connor Shannon 40, Drew Fielder 41, Sean Vogelbacher 42.
Clear Lake (156) - Dane Waldron 36, Jon Carew 39, Kyle Calagus 40, Austin Rurup 41, Tanner Storbeck 42, Thomas Storbeck 45.
Clarion-Goldfield (172) - Trenton Sann 40, Chris Staudt 43, Mike Schaffer 43, Kenton Waters 45, Grant Sebby 52, Ben Jacobsen 53.
Medalist - Waldron (CL). Runner-up - Al. Fuhs (WC).
Webster City JV (172) - John Ferrell 37, Bud Kern 44, Brian Ferrell 44, Dylan Rose 47, Doug Stoakes 47, Collin Oswald 50.
Freshman Connor Shannon made his varsity debut count - literally. He occupied the No. 4 slot on the Lynx scorecard with a 40. Drew Fielder (41) and Sean Vogelbacher (42) were just one and two shots back, respectively.
"Another bright sign of our depth was Connor Shannon," Brighton said.
Clear Lake's Dane Waldon posted a 36 to take the medalist spot by one shot over Alec Fuhs. Clarion-Goldfield was led by Trenton Sann with a 40.
John Ferrell shot a 37 for the WCHS junior varsity squad, which tallied a 172.

Desert, Folk Art, Love: A Visit to Salvation Mountain | KCET
Desert, Folk Art, Love: A Visit to Salvation Mountain
~Leonard Knight
Just east of the Salton Sea near the town of Niland, Calif. is the famous desert dwelling of Leonard Knight. There, at the entrance of the so-called Slab City, is the 50-foot tall Salvation Mountain, a 30-year (and continuing) labor of love that spans 150 feet in length.
The ultimate message of this oft visited folk art installation? "God is Love."
Although the Christian Bible is the dominating theme, it appears Knight does not fully see it that way. "We don't get into one denomination and figure the other ones are going to make it," he explained," God is Universal."
With everything going on in the world, it's fascinating to see someone who's working towards getting everyone together and trying to get everyone to get along," said filmmaker Jon Furtado, who recently visited Knight for the above short film.
Salvation Mountain is located in Imperial County, about a hour and a half from Palm Springs or one hour from El Centro.

William and Kate's bizarre gift list revealed
What do you get the couple who has everything? Two mosquito traps and a jar of Vegemite, apparently.
Clarence House has released the list of official gifts received by Prince William and Kate Middleton during their visits overseas in 2011.
The Duke of Cambridge visited Australia and New Zealand alone in March, and was joined by his new bride for a tour of Canada and the US in June and July.
On both trips, officials and members of the public showered the royals with all manner of presents, including caribou antler snow goggles, a rock sample, a pair of hard-carved salmon figurines, a papier mache model of a cassowary and a wooden humidor.
They also received a dog toy (despite not owning a pet dog), two polar bear shaped lapel pins, a peacock feather fascinator, beaded moccasins, a wicker fish basket, a jar of Vegemite, 54 books, a set of tuxedo buttons and two mosquito traps (thoughtfully gifted by Canada's Minister of Health).
Clarence House also released a list of presents received by William's father Prince Charles and his wife Camilla during their tours of Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Kuwait, Qatar, South Africa and Tanzania.
Among the strangest gifts the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall received were eight jars of marmalade, a camel saddle, a ceremonial dagger, a velvet and brocade cape, the horn of an unspecified animal, a copy of the Qur'an and a pencil portrait of Charles' mother Queen Elizabeth as a girl.
The royal family is hitting the road en masse this year to celebrate the queen's diamond jubilee.
Charles and Camilla will visit Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea while William and Kate will tour Malaysia, Singapore, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.
Your say: What would you give William and Kate as a gift?

CLEVELAND, Ohio – You may not understand Jim Mileti's decision to close his 12-year-old baby, the Winchester Music Hall, because of his religious convictions, but you have to respect it.
Now some of the commenters on my original story are saying that he's a hypocrite for taking six years – his post-conversion timeline – to receive an answer to his prayers about what to do. Mileti's defenders have responded with insistences that prayer isn't answered like an email to Heaven, with God hitting click-reply.
I'll leave that debate to them. My question is about the timing.
Why now, when live music seems to be making a resurgence in Cleveland, especially live, original music? The Happy Dog, Mahall's 20 Lanes, the Rocksino and the usual suspects – Beachland Ballroom, the House of Blues, the Agora (with its new ex-Peabody's shows), Quicken Loans Arena, Blossom Music Center – all seem to be doing well, and some are flourishing.
I haven't covered one single show at the Rocksino that hasn't been sold out or just about sold out. Live Nation's Country Megaticket has sold out for its Blossom and Progressive Field shows, and it's a sure bet that the annual WGAR Country Jam, this year starring Gary Allan, will pack 'em in, too.
Justin Markert and his Cellar Door Cleveland have been paving new roads for local musicians. Even the irregular Cleveland Lottery League is getting more and more notoriety. I don't KNOW if there's a waiting list to play in it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
The Kent Stage, Akron Civic Theatre, E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall and Playhouse Square are getting good, reputable, albeit older acts, and – most important – drawing crowds.
It's not all puppies and kittens. It's a tough, tough business, and sometimes you'll have a crowd of 20, and the band will have to split a bowl of Ramen soup. I know that.
Too, new cover bands are having a hard time making inroads – even landing a first gig – because bar owners want to put meat in the seats, i.e. bellies at the bars. If you can't do that, it doesn't matter if Jimmy Page would be fawning all over your guitar solos or Neil Peart asks you for drum lessons, you ain't gettin' hired.
Most likely that's why it seems like the only bands you see at "regular'' bars are the SAME bands, just moving from place to place. I don't have a problem with that, in some regards, even if I'd like to see new bands get a few shots. I get that the bar business is a bar BUSINESS. Even so, Mileti opened his venue for newbies every now and then.
Now in the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you: I play in a cover band, too. We're not as busy as we'd like to be, mainly because the drummer for Scrambled Eggs – ME – is busy covering a burgeoning live music scene.
So to come full circle, I have to wonder about the timing of closing this wonderful venue, which has been home to both original and cover bands. Truthfully, I wish Mileti could've seen fit to put it on the block and leave it open. After all, there are shows scheduled – oops, there WERE shows scheduled – for this week and beyond.
But maybe there are things we just don't know. First and foremost, the bar and concert hall business is incredibly inconsistent. At one point, even Cleveland's absolute best small concert venue, Beachland Ballroom and Tavern, came within a hairsbreadth of closing or being sold.
It could be that the Rocksino, with the powerful Live Nation promotion team and their national resources behind it, is cutting into the market to the point where the Winchester couldn't survive. After all, some of the biggest draws at the Winchester were legacy-type acts, the same people who are filling the much bigger, much fancier and – given the casino money – better-paying venue in Northfield.
And it could be that Mileti just wasn't willing to open the Winchester to the kind of music that is bringing younger patrons to Mahall's, the Happy Dog and such. I can say that because the truth is, my old classic-rock cover band played one gig there, and only one gig. Why? We were too loud.
In the end, after talking to him and HEARING the conviction in his voice, though, I believe Mileti really did make his decision for the reason he stated – that he didn't feel right providing an avenue for the tiny percentage of his patrons who had a tendency to overindulge.
My hope is that someone comes up with the money to buy the Winchester, which is for sale -- lock, stock, barrel and sound system -- for $349,000. It won't be that much, for sure. Mileti called himself "a motivated seller.''
But it's too good a venue to go to waste. As it says in John 6:12, "And when they had eaten their fill, [Jesus] told his disciples, 'Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.' "

Androgens and anabolic steroids
A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Androgens and anabolic steroids include the male sex hormone testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, and other agents that behave like these sex hormones. They stimulate the development of male sexual characteristics (such as deepening of voice and growth of beard) and development of male sex organs.
Anabolic steroids stimulate growth in many types of tissues, especially bone and muscle. Anabolic effects also include increased production of red blood cells.
Androgens and anabolic steroids are used as replacement therapy to treat delayed puberty in adolescent boys, hypogonadism and impotence in men, and to treat breast cancer in women. They are also used to treat anemia, osteoporosis, weight loss and other conditions with hormonal imbalance.
