It was another huge showing at the Los Alamos City Championship for Tami Martinson.
Martinson grabbed her fourth consecutive City title this weekend at Los Alamos Golf Course. Martinson carded the two low rounds of the women's title flight, shooting an 81 Sunday to win the title.
The City Championship was played Saturday and Sunday. More than 50 players took part in this year's competition.
Martinson, who has been dominant in City competition since she began her impressive title run, won by six shots over Ellen Stallings. Stallings, who played Martinson's group Sunday, nearly kept pace with Martinson, shooting an 82. Stallings finished as this year's runner-up.
LA All-Stars finish in third place
The Los Alamos Little League 9/10 All-Stars bowed out of the state baseball tournament with a 10-7 loss Thursday night.
The loss to Carlsbad ended a solid run by Los Alamos in the tournament, which was played in Portales. Los Alamos picked up two straight wins to advance to the semifinals, but was topped by Albuquerque Eastdale in the semifinal round and Carlsbad in Thursday's elimination game.
Los Alamos finished the tournament in third place.
"The Eastdale team is really good," Los Alamos manager Lance Eaton said. "Against Carlsbad, we just made too many mistakes. We actually out-hit them, but just had some mistakes. That's Little League baseball."
With a big opening round in the men's championship flight, Kurt Anast will head into today's play as the man to catch.
Anast had the low round of the tournament Saturday, a red-hot 3-under par to take the day-one lead at the Los Alamos City Championship.
The City Championship will continue at 9 a.m. today. The tournament is being played at Los Alamos Golf Course.
Scores from the tournament were all over the place Saturday, with a 14-stroke spread in the men's title flight and a 21-shot spread in the senior men's flight. Early last week, a leak had been detected in an underground pipe that feeds LAGC's front nine holes and watering the course has been an issue — work begins to repair the leak Monday.
Here are the scores from Saturday's opening round of the Los Alamos City Championship.
The Los Alamos Tennis Club's singles and doubles tournament is slated for today and Sunday at Urban Park.
The tournament will include both men's, women's and mixed doubles play.
Last year, Stephen Townsley won the men's singles title, defeating Kevin Mitchell in straight sets. Jeena Kim was the women's tournament champion, picking up a pair of tournament victories in the round-robin women's format.
The defending men's and women's Los Alamos City champions will be back to defend their crowns this weekend.
Tami Martinson and Curt Norman are both expected to compete in the Los Alamos City Championship tournament. The tournament starts Saturday morning and continues through Sunday at Los Alamos Golf Course.
Both Martinson, who has won three consecutive City championships and Norman, who has won two straight, are both favored again this year, but they will face plenty of competition in their quest to continue their streaks.
All of the top predictions in this week's Pace Race were doubled up.
The Pace Race is a weekly event hosted by the Atomic City Roadrunners. Participants in the weekly race, the most recent of which was Tuesday on American Springs Road, predict their finishing times for the 1- and 3-mile courses.
Sue Kinkead and Lynn Kluegel both tied for the best adjusted prediction error, finishing 24 seconds off.
The next-best predictions were made by Dara McKinney and Christie Kelly, who finished 28 seconds off, while Katie Gattiker and Bob Edgar both had predictions that were 33 seconds off.
The fastest finisher on the 1-mile course was Daniel Romero, who completed his run in 6 minutes, 24 seconds. Holly Trellue had a finish time of 12:39.
The Los Alamos High School athletic department announced the hiring of Ann Stewart as new head coach of the boys golf program.
Stewart is a graduate of LAHS. In addition to taking over the boys program, Stewart will also teach physical education and driver's education at LAHS this fall.
She is taking over for Mike Lippiatt, who coached both the Hilltopper boys and girls in 2011-12. Lippiatt stepped down from the boys head coaching job to concentrate on the girls program.
The Hilltopper golf teams have their first tournament of the fall 2012 season scheduled for Sept. 17.
Soccer officiating clinic scheduled for Aug. 19
An United States Soccer Federation Grade 9 referee clinic is scheduled for Aug. 19 at the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce and the Community Field.
The clinic is a one-day, nine-hour class. Registration is at 8 a.m. and instruction will start promptly at 8:15 a.m.
Grade 9 is entry-level officiating for those interested in calling Los Alamos Youth Soccer League games. Interested participants should be at least 12 years old or entering the seventh grade.
Price for the clinic is $70, including a $45 USSF registration fee and a $25 clinic fee, which may be reimbursed for those officials who referee three LAYSL games.
For more information, call LAYSL referee coordinator Amy Regan at 672-3623.
An underground pipe leak was found Monday near Los Alamos Golf Course and will need to be repaired.
A main line that supplies water to the south side of LAGC was found to be leaking either near or underneath Diamond Drive, but the exact location isn't yet known. The leak affects watering on holes 1-10 and 16-18.
LAGC said it is watering those holes with a 1,000-gallon tanker borrowed from the county's Parks department and the course will have a 3,000-gallon tanker from the Roads and Streets department at its disposal.
A press release from LAGC warned, however, that the course, particularly the fairways, may show signs of stress until repair work is completed. Repair work is scheduled to begin this Monday.

Here are the top stories from Tuesday, Jan. 21:
Denied Obamacare coverage, Michigan family with disabilities finds alternatives much more expensive
A Bangor Township family of four, all of whom have disabilities, say they fall within a niche that makes the Affordable Care Act more of a burden than a blessing. Now, they say, they'll be paying nearly $8,000 more per year for medical care after being denied coverage through Obamacare.
The family in question is the Daverts — husband and wife Ken and Melissa and their 15-year-old twins Austin and Michaela. The twins and their mother are afflicted with osteogensis imperfecta, a disease that makes their bones extremely fragile. They are also highly susceptible to lung infections. Ken Davert has cerebral palsy.
State suspends license of Standish funeral home, alleges manager failed to escrow $601,438
A Standish funeral home has had its license suspended due to the state alleging its manager illegitimately practiced mortuary science and mishandled six figures' worth of prepaid funds.
Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau on Friday, Jan. 17, suspended the license and registration of R.O. Savage Funeral Chapel, 127 N. Forest St.
Gladwin man gets up to 65 years in prison for shooting woman twice in the head, keeping her captive
In a tear-laden monologue, a woman urged a Gladwin County judge to imprison forever the ex-boyfriend who shot her twice in the head and held her captive for days.
But after learning he will be in prison for up to the next six decades, the woman's assailant implied his victim hadn't heard the last from him.

Neptune Systems Apex Gold AquaController System
The Apex System is the best-value aquarium controller on the market today. Dollar for dollar you will not find a higher-quality controller that gives you more features, is easier to use, or has a larger and more active user base than the Apex.
Apex Gold System comes complete with:
Apex Base Unit
Apex Display Module
Energy Bar 8
Long-life Temperature Probe
Lab Grade pH Probe
Lab Grade ORP Probe
PM2 Module (Conductivity/Salinity)
Lab Grade Conductivity (Salinity) Probe
Best Software Available on Any Aquarium Controller
Hands down, the Apex has the most feature-rich, field tested software of any controller on the market today. It all starts with the onboard web server inside the Apex Base Unit. This web server is part of the Apex's firmware and is truly the secret sauce to its success.
Not tech savvy, no worries
Built-in wizards allow even the most technophobic person out there to be able to program the basics like light timers and heater control in a matter of minutes. Then, as you build up confidence and engage the awesome
Apex Community Forum
, you will be taking it to the next level in no time.
The Apex Base Unit - It All Begins with the Brain
The Apex Base Unit is basically the brains of your entire Apex System. The Apex Base Unit (ABU) is far different than from what any other controller at this price level is offering. The ABU is basically a small computer whose only job is take care of your aquarium. It has a 32-bit microprocessor and a built-in web server. The web server makes it possible for you to configure and operate your Apex from any network-connected computer or mobile device – no software to install on a PC – it also means it's Mac compatible!
Built-in Internet Connectivity
The Apex Base Unit is Internet-ready straight out of the box. Just plug it into your router and you are good to go – no software to install! This means that you can control your tank from any computer (or mobile device) in the house. There is no need, ever, to connect it directly to a computer to monitor your aquarium or update its firmware. And, once you set up external access via port-forwarding on your router, you can easily access your Apex from anywhere in the world via a web browser or via our iOS or Android apps!
And, with Internet Connectivity, the Apex can be configured so that you will get an email or text message whenever something is not quite right with your system – whether that is an over-temperature condition in your tank, the pH is out of whack, or there's a leak on the floor (*Advanced Leak Detection Module and sensor required)!
Uber Reef Geek, we have you covered as well
The Apex has a powerful yet easy to learn programming language. This enables every user to get creative and come up with new cool ways to use their Apex…from creating storms in their tanks, to complex dosing of additives, to unique mixing of colors on their DIY LED lights. The possibilities are pretty much only limited by your imagination. And again, the Apex Community Forum is out there to help you along as well.
Graphs, Graphs, Graphs!
The Apex has a full-featured graphing engine built right in. As an example, you can very easily compare the cycles of your outlets with temperature and pH, identify ongoing patterns of trouble, and even discover ways to cut costs like being able to visually see when two external devices (such as a heater and a chiller) are on simultaneously when they really shouldn't be.
Going Mobile ? The Apex did!
The Apex is the only controller on the market that has manufacturer-written, full-featured applications for the computer browser (Mac or PC), iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets (currently available as a beta). Now you can take your Apex with you anywhere and check in on your tank, reprogram your lights, or even feed your fish remotely from the touch of your phone!
Complete Aquarium Monitoring right out of the box
The Apex Base Unit is equipped with the following monitoring ports:
Temperature Port
pH Port
pH/ORP Port (can be used for either – a feature unique to the Apex)
6 – I/O switch inputs (for use with door switches, feed buttons, ATO, etc.)
*Break-Out Box Required.
PM2 Module included with Apex Gold Packages
Let's Talk About A Little Thing Called Galvanic Isolation
This is a topic other controller companies like to avoid. Why? Because not all monitoring ports are created equal. Galvanic Isolation is key to getting accurate readings on pH, Temp, ORP, and Conductivity. Some controllers either do not do it well or possibly not at all.
So what is Galvanic isolation? Well, the tech-answer is that it's where two or more electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds may be at different potentials. It is an effective method of breaking ground loops by preventing unwanted current from flowing between two units sharing a ground conductor.
Now of course that is all geek-speak to most of us so let's just put it this way: on a controller without galvanic isolation, your readings of pH, Temperature, ReDox (ORP), Conductivity/Salinity, etc. will be inaccurate.
LED Dimming and Tunze Pump Control
The Apex Base Unit comes standard with four channels of 0-10V control. These outputs are controlled in the Apex software and are most commonly used for LED dimming or Tunze speed control pumps. By using one of Neptune's optionally available cables, you can connect any Apex Ready 0-10V device to these ports. This means you can do cool things like have your LED lights ramp up and down to simulate sunrise and sunset!
They can also be used for various DIY purposes like controlling the dimming level on Meanwell LED drivers. Should you need additional channels of 0-10V control, no problem, simply purchase our VDM module and get four more – and also get a connection for Apex Ready+ LEDs!
External 12V Power Capability – UPS Ready!
The Apex Base Unit comes with an external 12V power input. With an optionally available wall transformer and a second Energy Bar, this enables you to configure your Apex for power-outage mode. You just plug the 12V transformer into your Apex and then into a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) along with your extra Energy Bar. You then plug a powerhead and an air pump with stone into this Energy Bar. If the power should ever go down, your Apex will sense the problem, and will activate the powerhead and air stone potentially saving the day for your fish and corals!
The Energy Bar
So Much More Than Just a Power Strip!
The Energy Bars available for the Apex systems are much more than a glorified power strip. In fact, this component of your aquarium controller equipment is far more important than most people realize – and not all systems are created equal!
It is obvious that this component is key to controlling things on your aquarium, but what is not so apparent is how it is critical to preventing catastrophe in your aquarium. Here's how.
Let's Start with Construction
Neptune Systems has put a lot of thought into the construction of the Energy Bars. Unlike other competitor's and simple power strips, Apex Energy Bars are made out of 16 gauge, powder-coated aluminum. They are built to be bullet proof – almost literally!
Controlled Outlets
Each of the independently controlled outlets on the Energy Bar is independently switched and easily carry the current load specified on the label. In fact, Neptune Systems intentional underrate the outlets just to provide that extra level of security. So, depending on which Energy Bar you purchase, each outlet is rated from 5A to 10A at 120V AC.
Current Sensing Device
The Energy Bars continually send their information on their present current drain to the Apex controller. This is incredibly useful information for a number of reasons. First, it enables you to recognize what the overall power consumption is on any Energy Bar so that you can better distribute the load across your multiple Energy Bars. Also by having this feature you can accurately determine the power utilization of your tank to compare different lights, pumps, skimmers, etc.
Soft-Start Extends the Life of Pumps
Imagine revving the engine in your car and dropping the shifter from P to D. That is exactly what happens when many controllers turn on the power to your pumps. Just like in a car, this kind of instantaneous application of power to your return pump after a feed cycle or to your power heads will certainly lead to early failure. With the Energy Bar, power is slowly ramped on so that every motor is safely brought up to speed without the damaging torque.
Power Failure Detection, Communication Error Protection and Pre-programmed Failsafe State
Each Energy Bar outlet can be configured to be either in an off or on state if the power were to fail and then come back on or if there was a communication failure with the Apex base unit. This means that if, for instance, your heater was on when the power went off, you could have it programmed to be off until control was reestablished with the Apex base unit. Or, as another example, you could program your main return pump to always be in the on position in case of failure.
This feature is very important as many other controllers on the market may leave the outlet in its last position or possibly default all of the outlets to off or on. This is even true if they simply lose communication with their base unit due to a system failure, software bug, communication issue, lightning strike, etc. Not good. Imagine if you were away from home and a storm took out your Apex – the Energy Bar would just fall back to the Failsafe state you had programmed for such an incident. No worries.
One additional advanced feature is that when you use an additional Energy Bar on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) you can have key lifesaving devices (low-power powerheads and bubblers) on there that will automatically go into their Failsafe State once power failure is detected. This can keep your tank alive and healthy for hours on a good UPS until the power comes back online. This will run completely unattended and is ideal to give you peace of mind when you are away from home whether out for the evening or on a two-week cruise!
It is easy to see the importance of this one small feature that differentiates the Neptune Systems Energy Bars from the rest and how once again Neptune Systems is looking out for every possible way for you to avoid catastrophe in your aquarium.
Extra AquaBus Connections
Each Energy Bar has additional connectors so that you can easily expand to other modules. This is very helpful for those that want to use one Apex to control multiple aquariums. The Energy Bar becomes an AquaBus "hub" at any location you choose – allowing you to connect more modules in that area. This is called a "star topology" and is unique to the Apex. Many other controllers require you to daisy chain together every module or they require you to buy a separate "hub" to connect everything together.
Display Module
The Apex Display module is a sleek and compact way for your to interact with the Apex Base Unit and control nearly every aspect of your Aquarium.
Mechanical, not membrane keypad
Apex Display Module uses high-quality, mechanical buttons. So what you say? Well many devices out there make use of what are called capacitive touch pads. This type of membrane button is just fine for your toaster oven, but in a saltwater environment it is highly susceptible to failure. So, even though the cost to us was higher, we went with mechanical buttons for our Display Module ensuring your product a much longer life.
Adjustable contrast, high-resolution, backlit graphic display
Neptune Systems believe the most important thing for the customers is ease in readability and size of the display. What good is a color display if it is barely larger than a postage stamp. That is why they went with the backlit graphical display. It was the perfect match of function and value for the customers.
Built-In Speaker Plays Multiple Alarm Tones
Inside the Apex Display Module is a tiny speaker with a big heart. This speaker will play one of many alarm sounds and tunes that are built into the Apex. These alarms are perfect to alert you of a water leak, over temp, or whatever you condition you desire to program into the Apex.
Multiple Display Module Capability
With the Apex Display Module you are not limited to having just one control panel. With the Apex (as an option) you can add one, two, even three control panels all to the same Apex. And, these are not watered down, smaller versions of the main control panel, all modules will have the same display and functionality.
The Apex Gold System comes with four high-quality probes:
Long-life Temperature Probe
Lab Grade pH Probe
Lab Grade ORP Probe
Lab Grade Conductivity Probe
When you connect
Apex Ready
certified products to your Apex System, many new options will unfold. How about having your LED lights dim or change color temperature at the touch of your iPad? How about programming your Tunze or VorTech pumps for some serious wave action? That's what you get when you pair up the Apex System and an Apex Ready certified product.

Experience Level:
I have been consistently impressed with this and what, with a little imagination, you can achieve, especially using virtual outlets. I am especially happy with the alarm system and leak detection as I use this for my office tanks. I got a notification at 4am and rushed in and was able to avert an office catastrophe. That by itself was worth the money and the 5 stars. I use my system to control two tanks, vortech pumps, ecotech LED lighting, automatic feeders, supplements, top off, etc etc. It might seem complicated and overwhelming when you first look at the comprehensive manual but if you have an expensive system then it deserves this system. Customer service is also great! Its the gold standard.

Expensive, but worth it. The item description speaks for itself. I don't know how I did without this product when I started my saltwater tank years ago.

almost perfect
11/21/2014 from SAINT CHARLES, MI UNITED STATE
Experience Level:
Very pleased with the purchase, a bit more frustrating then I expected. It took me several days and hours of reading to get my radion pros to work. In their defense, I was trying to use the fusion software which is still in Beta and as it turns out I needed to use the older version to link them. Once I figure that out it was instantaneous. It is really nice being able to adjust the pump times, skimmer, etc. very easy to do. still some glitches in the software. my radions never actually turn off. they get down to 6%.. I will have turn turn the outlets off with apex.

great but have to be a program
9/8/2014 from GILBERT, AZ UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
The product is everything as advertised and more. There is about nothing that this cant do or tell you about! The only problem is setting up the email and internet access and programming pump settings etc.. If you can get thru that you are all set. That is the reason I took a star off.

Justin Halpern started a Twitter feed of funny lines his grouchy old father supposedly said to him. It blew up into a pop-culture phenomenon: 3 million Twitter followers, a book called "(Stuff) My Dad Says" that became a No. 1 best-seller, a sitcom on CBS called "$#*! My Dad Says" that starred William Shatner and was cancelled after one season.
Halpern has a new book, "I Suck at Girls," all about his love life.

LSU shortstop Alex Bregman said Saturday he wanted to give ace pitcher Aaron Nola a chance to play one more time in Alex Box Stadium. Nola, and likely four other Tiger draft-eligible non-seniors, won't have that chance.
The Tigers' 12-2 loss to Houston closes the door on the 2014 season and on the LSU careers of as many as five players with remaining eligibility who are expected to enter the Major League Baseball First Year Players Draft, which begins begins Thursday.
Also unlikely to return are right-handed closer Joe Broussard, left-handed starter Kyle Bouman, infielder Tyler Moore and outfielder Mark Laird. Although he is a sophomore in eligibility, Laird qualifies to be drafted because he has already turned 21 years old.
For Nola, a Golden Spikes Award finalist and two-time SEC Pitcher of the Year, it's a no-brainer. He's likely to be a high first-round pick after going 11-1 with a 1.47 earned run average and 134 strikeouts in 116.1 innings.
Broussard, the former Holy Cross pitcher from Gretna, was the losing pitcher in Sunday's loss to Houston.

The Non-Flood Protection Asset Management Authority is set to decide Thursday (June 5) whether to include bike lanes on Lakeshore Drive as the street is re-striped.
Bike Easy, an advocacy group, hopes a revamped plan to include bike lanes will sway the full authority.
A special committee tasked with considering how to configure Lake Shore Drive for all user groups essentially shot down a previous plan that would have reduced vehicle traffic to a single lane in each direction and used the extra space for a multi-use lane dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians.
High speed cyclists, who have long used Lakeshore Drive, opposed that plan because they would have had had to deal with slow bikers and pedestrians.
Bike Easy's new plan would create more conventional bike lanes on either side of the vehicle traffic, which would still be reduced to one lane each way.
The authority's Recreation Committee will discuss the issue at 2:30 p.m. and make a recommendation to the full authority, which meets at 5:30 p.m.
Both will be held at the authority's meeting room, 6514 Spanish Fort Blvd.

Developer J.B. Reilly upped the City Center ante Wednesday, announcing two more planned office complexes within the five-block Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone.
The Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority welcomed the news and did its part to cooperate by increasing Reilly's line of credit by $50 million, to $185 million from $135 million.
Reilly told the ANIZDA board of plans to construct office building complexes at Seventh and Walnut Streets and at 940 W. Hamilton Street. These will complement the four office buildings and a hotel planned in the vicinity of the new hockey arena on Seventh Street.
The two new projects, which have not been formally approved by the ANIZDA board, bring the number of planned projects to seven and increase total City Center spending to $425 million.
"This is an expansion of our existing credit facility to continue to develop in downtown Allentown," Reilly said. "There's still high demand and we want to continue building. We've already gone through the first $135 million and the additional $50 million will allow us to pursue additional projects."
The first new building, Five City Center will be located at the at the former Gallery on the Mall site at 940 W. Hamilton St. The building on the site was demolished, Reilly said, and the property is being purchased from PP&L Company.
The second new project, Six City Center, is pegged for the Seventh and Hamilton Street location.
Reilly said he hopes construction on both projects can begin within a year, depending on how quickly tenants are attracted to the proposed properties.
"Each project is unique. They'll cost anywhere from $40 million to $70 million, depending on how big they are. They'll be between 100,000 and 200,000 square feet and that will be tenant-driven," Reilly said. "They'll be on the same scale as 1, 2 and 3 City Center, but it's a question of parking and that will be driven by the size of the building."
ANIZDA, in exchange for approving the credit increase, will receive a $1.6 million payment over three years from J.B. Reilly, regardless of whether projects are built and a one-time $100,000 payment. The $1.6 million can be utilized for debt service on a capital project or directly for a capital public improvement. The $100,000 payment is for the capital fund.
In addition, should the two new projects come to fruition, ANIZDA will reap 10 percent of the NIZ tax revenue generated in the first five years and 20 percent thereafter.
"We want to get money to build things like parking decks," said board chairman Sy Traub. "We're desperate need of more parking decks and improvements to the ones we have."
Parking will be at a premium in downtown Allentown once the hockey arena opens later this fall. The other projects currently under construction in the NIZ zone are a Marriott Renaissance Hotel, an 11-story building housing National Penn Bank, a 166-unit apartment and retail complex attached to the arena and a Lehigh Valley Hospital sports medicine building.
J.B. Reilly will secure the additional $50 million in loans through National Penn Bank. The credit agreement allows the use of Allentown NIZ tax revenues to pay back the loans.
In other business, the board announced that Oldrich Fouchek, III, an Allentown attorney will replaced Diane Scott on the ANIZDA board. Scott's term is expiring and she chose not to return. However, board member Nelson Diaz will stay on for another term.

The Killers are set to headline this year's V Festivals.
The Las Vegas quartet, who last headlined the events in 2007, will return to top the bill this August.
Speaking to the Daily Star, bassist Mark Stoermer said: "We are indeed headlining the V Festival and we're lucky to be doing it on our third album – things keep getting better for us. We will have the biggest lighting show we've ever had – it costs twice as much as our last tour.
"When you're playing big places you've got to give something to everyone, including the fans at the back. We've become more refined as a live act."
Coldplay and Blur are both rumoured to be appearing at the festivals.
Click here for the latest V Festival rumours.

Olson represents Knights on AKC team
By KITSAP NEWS GROUP
Sports writers
While the Bremerton boys basketball team (7-13 overall, 7-9 league) rode the Olympic League pogo stick all year, finishing sixth place in an up and down season, seniors Eli Olson and Johnny Olwell and junior Josh Koets brought savvy leadership and steady production to a Knights team which often times struggled to find consistency.
A young Kings West Warrior team mustered only one win all season, but junior Drew McCullough and sophomore Chase Estes kept the Warriors close in a number of games.
The All-Kitsap County teams are compiled by the sports writers for the Bainbridge Island Review, the Bremerton Patriot, the Central Kitsap Reporter, the North Kitsap Herald and the Port Orchard Independent. Candidates for the team are nominated by the writers for their respective areas. The nominees are then voted on by the writers, with the top vote-getters making the teams. Two honorable mentions are selected from each school for each sport. The teams include the best players from area schools that not only performed well individually, but played a role in the success of their team as well.
Below is the All-Kitsap County Boys Basketball Team. The AKC Girls Basketball Team will appear in the Saturday, March 15 edition of the Bremerton Patriot.
2007-08 All-Kitsap County
Boys Basketball Team
G Andre Moore, Klahowya, junior Moores athleticism payed off big this winter for Klahowya, as the standout running back scored a team-leading 18.9 points per game in helping the Eagles get within a game of state. He also pulled down five rebounds per game, dished out 2.7 assists and defensively logged 3.5 steals.
G Kyle Erickson, North Kitsap, junior As his teams big offensive threat he scored 18 points and averaged four assists per game. Not only is Erickson one of the best guards in the Narrows League but hes a coachs dream, and a tried-and-true basketball player. He spends his summers traveling to elite basketball camps in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and plays AAU. His coaches commonly refer to him as a basketball magnet.
G Nick Fling, Bainbridge, senior The 6-foot-4-inch guard was the most consistent player for the Spartans this season as he averaged 12 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. His assist-to-turnover ratio was a sparkling 3-to-1 and he shot 63 percent from the field, upping it to 70 percent during Bainbridges winning streak that led them to the playoffs.
F Brandon Durham, Central Kitsap, junior The 6-foot-7-inch post loomed large over defenders this season as Durham led CK with 15.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per contest. Durham was a major part of CKs defensive game plan as well, swiping 1.1 steals and swatting 1.4 shots per game.
F Taylor Hoffer, North Kitsap, junior Recognized by his coaches as NKs most improved player, Hoffer is the cornerstone of NKs offensive game, scoring 17 points and averaging 18 boards per game. Hoffers season also includes 12 double-doubles. Not only is he an athlete who exhibits awesome ball control, hes emerged as a leader for his team. Hoffer had a superb year and should return even stronger in the fall.
Ben Eisenhardt, Bainbridge, junior, F At 6 feet 10 inches, Eisenhardt was essential in Bainbridges march back to the playoffs as he led the team in scoring with 13.9 a game. He also averaged 8.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. Hell be scrutinized by many Division I schools as hell be the leader for the Spartans as they look toward making a return to state next season.
Eli Olson, Bremerton, senior, G Olson brought court awareness and explosive scoring to the Knights offense, averaging a team-best 18.6 points per game. Late in the season, he broke out for a career-high 40 points against league foe North Mason.
Nick Johnson, South Kitsap, senior, F The 6-foot-6-inch senior averaged a team-best 10.8 points per game and was one of the better shooters in the Narrows League. He converted 11-of-24 (45.8 percent) three-pointers, pacing the Wolves with 176 rebounds (8.8 per game).
Caleb Leavitt, Klahowya, senior, G One of the seniors responsible for helping turn Klahowyas program around, Leavitt was a leader on the floor for the Eagles while also scoring 13.7 points per game. Leavitt also grabbed 3.8 boards and had 1.5 steals per game.
Jordan Coover, North Kitsap, senior, F A solid all-around athlete, Coovers numbers demonstrate what type of baller he truly is. Coover posted 13 points and averaged 7 rebounds per game. Hes a young man with skills, talent, a great attitude and is very coachable, coach Tony Chisholm said.
Mike Walsh, Bainbridge, senior, F The 6-foot-4-inch Walsh played at twice his height this season, turning in a consistent effort night in and night out as he did the dirty work in the paint, scoring 9.2 points and grabbing 7.4 rebounds a game.
Tionne Curry, South Kitsap, junior, G Curry averaged 9.0 points per game and converted 13-of-30 (43.3 percent) three-pointers. He finished second on the team with 26 steals as a point guard and had a team-high 100 assists.
Coach of the Year
Tony Chisholm, North Kitsap In his first season as a high school varsity coach, Tony Chisholm helped his team to a 14-11 record. North Kitsap, under Chisholms impeccable guidance, finished its season one game shy a state berth. Before entering the arena of high school sports Chisholm led the Kingston Middle School basketball team through three consecutive undefeated seasons. As a coach Chisholm is more concerned with his athletes character and future prospects than winning or losing. Being a humble man, Chisholm gives the credits of a successful NK season to his athletes.
Honorable mention
Caleb Davis, Bainbridge, senior, G The 6-foot guard was a threat behind the three-point arc every time he came off a screen, scoring 11.6 points a game for the Spartans.
Jack Clearman, Kingston, senior, G As a 6-foot senior, Clearman sank 13.5 points and averaged approximately two steals, assists and rebounds per game. Clearman shot 72 percent from the free-throw line, making him a necessary asset to Kingstons team.
Kyle McCown, North Kitsap, senior, G/F A basketball player with fierce tenacity who always gives 110 percent, McCown is deserving of recognition. The consistent player posted six points and averaged nearly five steals and seven rebounds per game.
Phillip Thomas, Central Kitsap, junior, G After CK lost point guard Cody Thurmond early in the season, Thomas shouldered much of the offensive load, averaging 12.5 points per game. He also pulled in 4.6 boards and recorded 1.1 seals per game.
Joey Johnston, Olympic, senior, G One of the top shooters in the Olympic League, Johnston fired a team-best 13.7 points per game for the Trojans. He also dished off two assists per contest while recording 1.7 steals.
Chris Zumdieck, Klahowya, senior, G/F At 6 feet 4 inches, Zumdieck was among the most versatile players in the West Sound region, easily hitting the paint or running the point. Zumdieck scored 10.8 points while hauling in 7.3 rebound, a team-high. He also led the Eagles with 3.7 assists.
Drew McCullough, Kings West, junior, G McCullough posted solid numbers for KW, averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. He created his own opportunities in the paint, leading the team in free throws attempted.
Johnny Olwell, Bremerton, senior, G Olwell brought sound fundamentals and an acute understanding of the game to the floor, averaging 8.9 points per game. He gave Bremerton experience on the court and in the locker room.
Leon La Deaux, South Kitsap, sophomore, G La Deaux scored 14 points and hit 4-of-6 three-pointers to help the Wolves to a 51-50 win Dec. 7 against Gig Harbor. He was third on the team with an average of 8.4 points per game.
Andrew Braun, Central Kitsap, senior, G The scrappy senior guard was an emotional spark plug for CK, seeming to hit big threes at big moments. Braun scored 9.9 points per game while also swiping 1.6 steals.
Rashad Greene, Olympic, senior, F One of the toughest inside players in the county, Greene scored 8.5 points and grabbed 8.7 boards per game down low. He also came up with 1.1 steals per game.
Gene Armendariz, Klahowya, senior, F The 6-foot-4-inch senior was the main post presence for the Eagles and one of the teams best all-around defenders. Armendariz scored just. 4.6 points per game, but grabbed 4.6 rebounds, had one steal per game and stated 1.1 shots.
Chase Estes, Kings West, sophomore, G Estes used his wiry build to slip by defenders and come away with loose balls, putting his body on the line night in and night out. Estes averaged 7.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.
Josh Koets, Bremerton, junior, F Koets was the Bremerton Bruiser all season long, providing physical and aggressive play in the low post. Koets led the team in rebounding with 7.5 per game and also chipped in 7.7 points per game.
Also: Aaron Lawrence, Kingston, sophomore, G; Collin Monagle, South Kitsap, junior, F; Jesse Powell, Bainbridge, senior, guard.

In case anyone is in any doubt about the volatile situation many of our staff and stringers work under in Afghanistan I want to recount what happened on Saturday. Ahmad Nadeem was covering a demonstration that was sparked by the actions of extremist Christian preacher Terry Jones, who, according to his website, supervised the burning of the Koran in front of about 50 people at a church in Florida. The mood at the demonstration changed very quickly as the crowd sought a focus for their anger. Ahmad, our stringer in Kandahar was targeted. He was beaten with sticks, his gear smashed and his hand broken. Then an armed man instructed the mob to kill him. Ahmad fled for his life escaping into a nearby house where he successfully hid from the mob. Earlier in the day a suicide attack also hit a NATO military base in the capital Kabul, the day after protesters overran a U.N. mission in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif and killed seven foreign staff in the deadliest attack on the U.N. in Afghanistan.

Asia – A Week in Pictures, March 27, 2011
Japan continues to dominate the file from Asia with new photograhers rotating in to cover the twists and turns of this complex and tragic story. In a country were the nation rarely buries its dead, the site of mass graves is quite a shocking scene to behold. Holes the length of football pitches are dug in the ground with mechanical digggers and divided into individual plots by the military and are then filled with the coffins of the victims of the tsunami. Family members come to weep and pray over the graves. Some are namless and marked only with DNA details, others bear the names of the victims. There is not enough power or fuel to cremate the thousands of bodies that are being recovered from the disaster zone.

First, congratulations to Pakistan Chief photographer Adrees Latif and Bangladesh based photographer Andrew Biraj for their competition awards this week. Adrees is the winner of the photojournalism category of the ICP Infinity Awards 2011 for his pictures shoot during the floods in Pakistan last year. Andrew won third prize in the singles category of daily life in the World Press Photo Awards for his picture of an overcrowded train in Bangladesh.

As I write 29 men are trapped in a coal mine in New Zealand after a methane explosion at the Pike River coal mine. Sydney based photographer Tim Wimborne is at the scene. His picture of people hugging each other so tightly seems to sum up the growing despair as they cling to the hope that the men are still alive, the moment in the picture seems to go on an eternity.

In the weeks since I arrived in Port-au-Prince to cover the earthquake, the streets have been cleared of debris and thousands of bodies have been removed from the rubble. But in many ways, the changes seem incremental.
Scenes from Haiti
The numbers from Haiti are staggering. Authorities say the death toll is likely to be between 100,000 and 200,000. Already, 75,000 bodies have been buried in mass graves. 1.5 million residents are homeless . Families have been torn apart. Neighborhoods have been flattened. The government has nearly ceased to exist. But numbers can tell only a small part of the story. Scenes of the devastation in Haiti are filling airwaves and newspapers around the world, triggering a flood of compassion and donations.
from Route to Recovery:
Voices on the road
Homeless for several months, struggling with addiction and a serious health issue, Dale Harvey has now turned his life around. He has gotten clean, had surgery and moved into his own apartment. On Monday when he moved in, he rented a moving truck and offered his services for free to anyone who needed help moving their belongings. Dale tells his story in the multimedia piece above.

This week in general was a great week in regards to tracking what I ate, reigning in what I ate (!), working out and keeping my emotional reactions to stress in check.
I am quite proud of myself for reigning in what I ate and keeping my emotional reactions to stress in check. Normally when hit with something like the furnace going out and being worried about how to pay for it I would be eating/drinking my feelings away but not this time. I ate before my husband came home from work on some days, I didn't uncork that wine bottle ( I really am a lazy drinker if it doesn't come in a box/spout!) and I tried as best as I could to get that activity in daily. It was nice again to see that ActiveLink do the dancing lights at the end of the day after getting 100% for the first time in weeks. I also have been running in short spurts here and there this week. Two miles or three miles with long warm ups. Damn I feel so much better after running as well even if it's just for a short time.
Today I also set myself up to have a better day by going straight to the gym after WW and going to Zumba!! I miss going to the week day class and even the old guys from the week day class reminded me that the back row was their spot. Um yeah I remembered!
Two things happened today that helped me refocus or remind myself that we all have our different journeys. At WW today a lady made her 10% weight loss and she hit her 16 week mark which you get a keychain for the 10% and clapping hands charm for the 16 week. It was exciting for her but she didn't want the big brouhaha about it. I've gotten 2 - 10% keychains for losing my 10% after my first daughter and after my youngest and I have some charms and I even have a 50lb loss charm on my key ring for losing 50lbs after having Avery. That was 3 years ago. It's depressing to me that I have that far to go to get back to that. I even was kicking myself because like I said a few weeks ago I should be at goal/lifetime by now. But my journey is different and when I get that damn 10% keychain again I will kiss that little thing like nobody's business because I would have worked harder than all those other times to finally get it again!
Another thing that happened at WW was our leader was telling us of a 70 year old woman in the earlier meeting that started 1 year ago (like me, grumble) and she is 1 lb away from her goal and she's lost 88 lbs in the last year. Her doctor had her on meds and told her she'll never be able to lose the weight at her age and * poof! * she did. She sounds like me. Someone tells me I can't do something and that sets the little gears in my head moving a little bit faster to get it done.
Even with all of that it's encouraging though. I need to focus on myself
more than I have been. I know that sounds extremely selfish but honestly I have to say
"f*ck everyone else" every once in a while and focus on ME.

Review boards are needed
The Dec. 19 article "Struggle, frustration remain for parents of the 'dually diagnosed,' " which discusses the report by a federal monitor on DYFS, is heartening in many ways. The problem area of "connecting with troubled families" is not all the fault of DYFS. The courts must also be faulted.
A law enacted more than 30 years ago created citizen review boards to act as an arm of the court. That law added transparency and an overall, ongoing monitoring system for both DYFS and the actions taken by judges.
Nine months ago, the state Supreme Court issued a directive refusing to allow child-placement review boards, each consisting of five well-trained volunteer citizens, to conduct any more periodic reviews to monitor each child until permanency was achieved.
Although we do not know when the "slowed progress" began, it overlaps with the elimination of periodic, citizen review.
In addition, New Jersey has lost much of the volunteer power donated by nearly 500 citizens.
Corinne Driver, Verona
Times change
As we celebrate the end of "don't ask, don't tell," we should take pause to remember that it wasn't so long ago that this much-maligned policy was considered a major, positive breakthrough, in that gays no longer needed to live in fear of official witch hunts.
How quickly things change. I can only wonder which one of today's perfectly acceptable policies will be considered equally wrong 17 years from now.
Peter A. Heimann, New Brunswick
Parents matter most
The "End lifetime tenure" (Dec. 19) editorial says principles, such as killing teacher tenure, are supported by President Obama, Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker. Aren't you forgetting the opinions of people who matter even more, the parents who send their kids to public schools?
Michelle Rhee, the former Washington, D.C., school chancellor you praise, called community activists "professional naysayers." I hope your admiration of her does not mean you are also cynical about the parents of those schoolchildren.
So dedicated to Washington, D.C., schoolchildren was Rhee that after taking the chancellor's job in June 2007, she left in October 2010, as your "Reform maverick believes there is no need for tenure" article reports.
Before swallowing Rhee's arguments, you should examine her credibility.
Jim LaRegina, Westfield
Up to administrators
The poll included with "Flunking out bad teachers" (Dec. 19) is misleading and the questions were poorly phrased. Instead of saying, "Do you support or oppose tenure, the practice of guaranteeing teachers lifetime job security after they have worked for a certain amount of time?" it should have read: "Do you support or oppose the practice of prohibiting teachers from being indiscriminately fired?"
Tenure, as the article states, was established to prohibit principals and/or school boards from dismissing a teacher because a parent or administrator disliked a particular individual. If administrators fulfill their current obligation to observe teachers, tenure does not guarantee lifetime job security. The article does address the need for professional development for teachers who perform poorly — again something that administrators should be doing.
If you were a dentist, and a patient came to you who had neglected his dental hygiene for years, do you deserve merit pay because the patient was finally ready to do something about his teeth? Or do you deserve to be fired because you spent too much time and money getting his dental health in order? Since teachers are not the first person to work with a student, how can the student's test scores be used to evaluate the teacher?
Denise Gastineau, Morris Plains
Tenure protections
To believe Michelle Rhee's statement "I don't think teachers need tenure" is like trusting a fox to guard the hen house.
She offers the myth that tenure protects poor teachers and negatively impacts students, but fails to state any research to support her opinion. Studies suggest otherwise. New Jersey and Massachusetts are established tenure states, and nationally they rank among the highest in student achievement. States without tenure or union protection, overall, have lower rates of student achievement.
Tenure protection is a students-first policy. It doesn't protect poor teachers. It protects good teachers from politicians and other self-serving lobbyists.
Kristina Fallon Tomaino, Oakhurst
Politicians are still corrupt
League of Municipalities director Bill Dressel wants to get rid of the civil service system in New Jersey ("Next step: Civil service and pension benefits," Dec. 14). He is quoted as saying the state is past the days of cronyism and rampant patronage.
"The days of Nucky Thompson and 'Boardwalk Empire' have long since passed." Who is he kidding? All one has to do is pick up a newspaper to read about the politicians practically falling over each other in favoritism, pay-to-play schemes and other machinations to line their own pockets. Any belief that civil service is not needed to protect police officers from political influence is ridiculous as well. All one need do is review some recent cases involving politicians attempting to influence the police. Zulima Farber inBergen County, the entire town council in Fairfield, Jersey City's Jerramiah Healy in Bradley Beach and Newark Police Director Garry McCarthy in Palisades Park are just a few, but certainly not all, that come to mind.

• Chlory: The Ocean Guard Episode is the first microscopic bio-strategy game from Papaya Apps, longing for clean and eco friendly ocean.
Our friend Chlory, a spherical single-cell Chlorella armed with chlorophyll, is the green guard of the ocean. One day, Chlory's peaceful and clean village is attacked by the series of contaminators: PeePee, Angry, Greasy and Nuke.
• Yellow PeePee : The first contaminator from little boy Dennis at a beach near Yellow Sea. Likes pollutants from the nearest spot.
• Red Angry : A glutton Chlory turned to Red Angry after eating the forbidden Red fruit. Angry is brutal & violent, polluting the weak enemy first.
• Oily Greasy : Greasy is too much thick & slimy, impossible to face to face attack back.
• Nuke, the strong : Nuke comes from a nuclear waste in the deep ocean. Nuke explodes periodically, instantly damaging chlorophyll intensly.
!!! Now it is time for you to help the lonely Chlory to clean up the contaminators deep down in the ocean. !!!
Connect Chlorophyll by a simple "drag & drop" from Chlory to the targeted enemy & disconnect chlorophyll for faster attack
Enemy contamination level diminishes as feeding chlorophyll into the enemy
Each stage is cleared by eliminating all the enemies at presence.

Literature Cited
This taxon, as coined by Kuhn (1968) and used by Steel (1973), was a monotypic family redundant with the Late Cretaceous Sphagesaurus hueni. The type of Sphagesaurus huenei consists only of two teeth, but these are very derived in form with fluted crowns (Price 1950). Recent discovery of a partial cranium of the species (Pol 2003) shows that S. hueni is a derived notosuchian crocodyliform closely related to the Chinese species Chimerosuchus paradoxus (Wu and Sues 1996). The evidence is strong and consists of the presence of only two premaxillary teeth, the participation of the premaxilla in the dorsal margin of the external naris, and other features (Pol 2003).
Independently, Chimaerasuchidae was coined by Carvalho et al. (2004) and defined with a node-based definition to include Chimaerasuchus and Simosuchus. This group, in contrast, has not been supported by other analyses and is united on the basis of weak, homoplastic character evidence (Carvalho et al. 2004:988). The family Sphagesauridae Kuhn 1968 has precedence over Chimaerasuchidae Carvalho et al. 2004, and the existence of this derived clade is now very strong.
Nevertheless, these two taxa are not synonyms by definition; Chimaerasuchidae, defined using Simosuchus as an internal specifier (Carvalho et al. 2004), will circumscribe some as yet uncertain, larger clade (depending on the position of Simosuchus). The active definition Sphagesauridae is stem-based and cites as external specifiers the best known, nominotypic species of other notosuchians and extant Crocodylia, ensuring the inclusion only of forms most closely related to Sphagesaurus huenei.

Radio Frequency Interference: Projects and Activities Developed for the High School Earth Science, Astronomy, and Physics Classroom Susan Dunn Tewksbury Memorial High School Jason Brown Tyngsboro High School Preethi Pratap MIT Haystack Observatory
The Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program, funded by the NSF, brings teachers into research environments to interact with scientists and translate the experience into the classroom. We will describe a RET experience at the MIT Haystack Observatory which involved using an AR3000A communications receiver and a discone antenna as the basis for an Earth Science, Astronomy, and Physics classroom unit. The projects and activities in this unit were developed to help foster student learning and understanding of radio astronomy, the electromagnetic spectrum, wave dynamics, signal propagation, meteor detection, and radio frequency interference. Additionally, this RET project utilizes the SEARFE (Students Examining Australia???s Radio Frequency Environment) software developed for use with the AR3000A communications receiver to scan and monitor frequencies across the radio bandwidth to determine areas of low and high usage in the radio spectrum. Classroom activities include Scanning Protected Radio Astronomy Bandwidths, Investigating the Radio Environment, Time Variation of Signal Strength, Signal Strength vs. Location Studies, Detecting Meteors using the AR300A Receiver, Mapping the RFI Environment of Your School, AM Radio Interference, and Signal Propagation Effects. The primary focus of the unit???s activities is to address the Massachusetts State Science Frameworks for electromagnetic radiation, waves, cosmology, and matter and energy in the Earth system and foster an understanding of how everyday communications devices may cause radio frequency interference with sensitive radio astronomy equipment. The projects and activities in the unit will be used in the classroom, amended, and the results of the classroom experience will be discussed.

Abilene animal lover issues warning for dog owners of 'certain breeds'
ABILENE, Texas - One Abilene animal lover wants to put out a warning for dog owners of certain breeds.
We protect our homes, cars and valuables all from theft, but your four-legged friends may slip your mind.
Dutchess, a one-and-a-half-year-old English Bulldog, was either stolen or escaped from her yard and was then chained up to fend for herself.
"It was just a matter of four hours that my life was turned upside down," said Dutchess's owner. "I felt like I lost my daughter."
Thanks to an anonymous tip, two weeks later she is back with her family.
"I cried over every little thing. I saw her dog bowl and I was in tears and now it's just so surreal," she said.
Dutchess's owner chose not to be named.
She said she believes Dutchess was taken in hopes of being bred, since English Bulldog puppies sell for anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500.
"When I got her back I didn't know how to feel," she said. "I should be excited, but to see her in pain and hurting it made me realize she tried so hard to get out of those chains."
Dutchess had bloodshot skin and eyes, wounds all around her neck and a bacterial infection on her stomach.
She is recovering well now and her family is overwhelmed by the support they got from the community.
But they want to warn other owners of expensive dogs to take precautions.
"Anytime she goes into the backyard she is in my sight. I even have locks on my gates. I've started not to trust anybody when it comes to a family member."
If your dog goes missing report it as soon as possible.
"It's kind of like that 48 hours show," said Paul Washburn of Rescue the Animals. "The quicker you do it, the better chance you have of getting the dog back."

Desperation in Central America
July 18, 2014 - Jim Anderson
Some conservatives have floated the silly idea that President Obama planned the surge of immigrant children at the nation's border. While those claims are empty potshots, the president does share responsibility for a Central American crisis that's driving the influx.
At In These Times, immigrant rights activist David Bacon discusses U.S. actions that are hurting the region. U.S. free trade and interventionist military policies are behind much of the economic desperation in Central America, according to Bacon.
Corporate dumping of U.S. agricultural products in Central America has contributed to an economic crisis that's forced rural families out of farming. There are no jobs to take the place of those lost vocations. The U.S., meanwhile, has a long history of opposing leftist leaders, most recently giving de facto approval to a 2009 military coup in Honduras. (If an ambitious Republican is searching for Hillary Clinton blunders, perhaps he/she should start there.)
In a vicious social cycle, economic desperation feeds escalating violence. Indiscriminate crackdowns fill prisons, which become centers for gang recruitment. (Central American gangs, at least in part, originated in our own Los Angeles, the result of criminals being deported from state prisons in California.)
"Young people fleeing the violence are reacting to the consequences of policies for which the U.S. government is largely responsible, in the only way open to them," Bacon writes. "More (border) enforcement will not deal with the causes of the migration from Central America," he warns.
Congress, meanwhile, wants to speed the removal of migrant children from the U.S.
It would seem that will be accomplished. They're children and we're the United States of America.
A true accomplishment, of course, would be to deliver them to something better than what they've fled.
We can debate the causes of Central American desperation. ... if Bacon is off the mark, maybe there are other answers. But that's the issue that deserves the most attention — not how best to fortify the border from youngsters.

|What Have You Seen God Do Lately?
|Written by Sherry
|Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:26
A life transformed by Christ is a compelling witness.
From The Pursuit of God in the Company of Friends I am currently reading in preparation for our Building Intentional Community Day on August 31.
An excellent observation:
". . .if we don't have current stories of God's goodness to us, of struggles we have faced or answers to prayer, it may be that our relationship with God was more alive in the past that it is in the present."
