Restaurant review: A superior experience at the Weekapaug Inn
Although I grew up in these parts, my only contact with the previous incarnation of the Weekapaug Inn was when I drove all the way down the beach and had to turn around in its parking lot because that was where the road ended.
In 1992, New York Magazine described it as "a time warp of Wasp gentility." It wasn't air conditioned, and there were no TVs or telephones in the rooms. But there were books and jigsaw puzzles and board games and three family-style meals a day that came with your room. It was a retreat for the wealthy, a place to get away from it all, breathe in the sea air, and leave your worries behind.
In 2007, the inn closed, at first for renovation, but as years passed, its future seemed uncertain. Then in 2010, Ocean House owner Chuck Royce and Weekapaug resident Lang Wheeler began their transformation of the place. Their goal, according to the inn's website, was to "restore the inn to discerning standards of comfort and low-key luxury." Today's Weekapaug Inn has 27 rooms instead of the previous 62, plus four two-bedroom suites. There still aren't any TVs, unless you request one. There still aren't phones (an intercom links the rooms to the front desk), but there is free wi-fi.
As for the food, the restaurant at the inn serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and is open to the public. Actually, it's more than open to the public. The public is welcomed heartily, not only to enjoy a cocktail or a meal, but to wander around the inn's common spaces, sit a spell by the fireplace, or take in the sweeping view from the second floor deck.
The place and the staff are downright charming.
The restaurant is at the back, in a large, window-lined room on Quonchontaug Pond. We first went for a weekday lunch, and from our window seat, clammers could be seen hunched over in the shallows.
My husband chose the Soup of the Moment, a corned beef stew, $8, and the fish and chips (beer-battered cod, with house-made potato chips), $16. I tried the New England clam chowder, $8, and the chicken pot pie (with puff pastry and roasted garlic gravy), $17.
When it comes to "comfort and low-key luxury," it's all in the details. Each rattan dining room chair comes with a fluffy back pillow, for custom comfort. My mango ice tea was accompanied by a small pitcher of simple syrup, so I didn't have to deal with pesky sugar crystals.
Our lunch was piping hot and delicious, start to finish. My husband's soup tasted like a corned beef dinner, with a rich, salty broth, big chunks of meat, and just the right amount of cabbage and potato. My chowder was thick, full of tender clams and bacon. Both were served in a Weekapaug Inn mug.
The fish was lightly battered, crispy and perfectly cooked. The chips were plentiful and irresistible. The chicken pot pie was over the top, a bowl of braised chicken and fresh peas in dark, rich gravy, topped with a circle of puff pastry. So good.
Our second visit was for dinner on a Sunday night. The dinner menu wears its local ingredients proudly; almost every offering's name includes the origin of its parts: Hopkins Farm lamb, Matunuck oysters, Crescent Farms duck.
My husband began with the spring onion soup, which featured Narragansett Cremery yogurt and house bacon, $13. He also chose the lamb - braised, served with gnocci, a shallot confit, and grilled Brussels sprouts leaves, $36.
I chose the native field greens salad, which included an array of baby greens and herbs, quenelles of local ricotta cheese, and pink grapefruit supremes, $12. For my dinner, I went with the Georges Bank monkfish atop forbidden rice, with a basil, lobster, coconut broth and grilled bok choy, $34.
Again, the details. My husband's bowl arrived empty, save a dollop of yogurt topped with crumbled bacon and a flurry of green garnishes, bisected by a long, thin crouton that spanned the bowl. The waiter added the soup from a white pitcher. The soup was fresh and light, with the yogurt adding a silky creaminess.
The greens in my salad tasted as though they'd been picked to order, all crispy, some bitter, others tangy. They paired beautifully with the cheese and the grapefruit. Certainly, $12 is a lot to pay for a salad, but this one was darn good.
My husband's dinner warmed the chilly spring night. The braised lamb was tender and flavorful, but the gnocci were perfect - tender, chewy little pillows that elevated the dish way beyond ordinary. As to the monkfish, I can't imagine how it could have been improved. Two small filets were sautéed to a uniform, golden crust. The black forbidden rice was creamy and tender yet delightfully chewy. The broth was rich, fragrant, and tied the whole dish together.
For dessert, the espresso crème brulee was creamy and decadent. Its crackly sugar crust was topped with banana-brown sugar mousse and two tiny churros. It was even better than it sounds.
Executive Chef Jennifer Backman, a Johnson & Wales graduate, came to the Weekapaug Inn via the Ocean House. Her dishes showcase the amazing local ingredients she has found, and the quality of her preparation is consistently impeccable from dish to dish.
Dinner at the Weekapaug Inn is an expensive excursion, no doubt, but if our experience is any indication, it's well worth it.

Small Forwards
Gordon Hayward/Marvin Williams Jazz – Marvin was playing well before suffering a concussion that's kept him out of two straight games. And once he went down, Hayward got hot, going for averages of 16 points and two 3-pointers over his last three games. Hayward will take a hit once Marvin is back in action, but he's probably too good a player to sit on waivers for long if he was dropped in your league.
Antawn Jamison Lakers – Jamison exploded for 33 points, 12 boards, a steal, a block and four 3-pointers on Friday night, and has scored 16 or more in three of his last four games. He should be owned in all leagues after a slow start, as Mike D'Antoni is prepared to ride him until he breaks.
Alonzo Gee Cavaliers – Gee had a season-high 22 points to go along with four boards, three assists, a steal and three 3-pointers in his last game, a double-overtime loss to Portland. He's scored in double figures in three straight and 10 of his last 12 games, is shooting it well, and typically a good source of threes, boards and steals.
Gerald Henderson Bobcats – Henderson is set to return this week from his foot sprain and will hurt both Jeff Taylor and Michael Kidd- Gilchrist when he's back. Henderson was starting when he got hurt and scored 18 and 7 points in his two games. He historically hasn't done much besides score points, and his lack of 3-point shooting has been a problem thus far in his career.
Jeff Green Celtics – Green has scored 17, 18 and 19 points in three of his last five games, but had a total of just three points in the other two games. He's hit a pair of 3-pointers in each of his last two games but has played just 23 minutes in each of them. He's going to be inconsistent, but is worth a deep-league look while he's hot.
Power Forwards
Patrick Patterson Rockets – After a slow start, Patterson is on fire, scoring 20 or more in four of his last five games and is averaging six rebounds in those. He's not shot blocker, but did have three of them on Saturday, while also collecting a steal in three straight games. Obviously, he should be owned in all leagues right now.
Luis Scola Suns – Scola is still coming off the bench and had nine points and eight boards on Sunday. He scored in double digits in four straight games before scoring eight and nine in his last two, but hasn't hit double digits in rebounding in nine straight games. You have to think he'll eventually return to the starting five for the Suns and his numbers should improve if and when it happens.
Ersan Ilyasova Bucks – Ilyasova bottomed out with a DNP-CD on Friday, but then had 15 points, five boards, four assists and a 3-pointer in 34 minutes on Saturday. I have no idea what Scott Skiles is doing, or if Ilyasova is ever going to become a reliable fantasy player. But the talent is there and I'm still hanging onto him where I can.
Elton Brand Mavericks – Brand had 17 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks on Saturday off the bench, and has scored 17 in two of his last three games. He had just four points and six boards in the other one, but he's heating up and is worth a look if you need a big man.
Carl Landry Warriors – Landry had 16 points and four boards on Saturday and has hit double figures in scoring in eight of his last 10 games. He won't rack up a lot of double-doubles, but has grabbed seven or more boards in four of his last eight games. As long as Andrew Bogut remains limited, Landry should continue to see heavy minutes and play well.
Andray Blatche Nets – Blatche is on fire, starting in two straight games for Brook Lopez, whose foot injury could keep him out longer than the two games he's already missed. Obviously, Blatche's value will take a hit once Bro-Lo is back, but if Lopez is out all week, Blatche should continue to produce. He's averaging 14 points, 10 rebounds and a steal in his last three games and should be owned and started for as long as Lopez is out.
Robin Lopez Hornets – Lopez has been up and down all season, but has scored in double figures in five of his last seven games. He has collected six or more boards in four of his last six, and has blocked 14 shots over that stretch. If you need a starting center, Lopez looks like a nice add.
Kevin Seraphin Wizards – Seraphin has been starting for the Wizards and has double-doubled in three of his last five games, all starts. He also has six blocks over that stretch and is worth adding in almost any league.
Larry Sanders Bucks – Sanders is on fire, racking up a triple-double with blocks on Friday, and then going off for 18 points, 16 boards and five more blocks on Saturday. It's impossible to tell if Scott Skiles will stick with him going forward, but after his last two games, he's basically become a must-own player.
Bismack Biyombo Bobcats – Biyombo has played well in two straight, averaging 10 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks for the Bobcats. He's coming off the bench so he'll likely struggle with consistency, but if he ever gets in the starting lineup over Brendan Haywood, he'll probably become a must-own player.
Games Played
Four Games – Bobcats, Bulls, Cavaliers, Nuggets, Pistons, Warriors, Pacers, Clippers, Lakers, Bucks, Hornets, Knicks, Magic, Suns, Raptors and Jazz.
Three Games – Hawks, Celtics, Nets, Mavericks, Rockets, Grizzlies, Heat, Timberwolves, Thunder, 76ers, Blazers, Spurs, Kings and Wizards.

Point Guards
Jeremy Pargo Cavs – Pargo isn't tearing up the league, but he's putting up decent numbers and should continue to do so for a couple more weeks while we await the return of Kyrie Irving. He had 13 points, eight assists and three 3-pointers in Saturday's double-OT loss to the Blazers, when he hit just 3-of-12 shots. But there aren't many point guard options floating around on waivers, and he might be the best one available in your league.
Jarrett Jack Warriors – Jack had 18 points, five boards, five assists and two 3-pointers in Saturday's win over the Pacers, and has now scored 17 or more in three of his last four games. It took some time, but he's finally starting to fill in the gap left by the loss of Brandon Rush for GSW.
Jose Calderon Raptors – Calderon's value took a hit when Kyle Lowry returned, but he's hit double figures in scoring in three straight games and has handed out seven or more assists in three of his last four. His steals have dried up, but he has hit a 3-pointer in 15 straight games for the Raps.
Jason Kidd Knicks – Kidd was hot before going down with back spasms but is targeting a return on Wednesday. He was averaging 10 points, five rebounds, four assists, three steals and three 3-pointers in the three games prior to being shut down.
A.J. Price Wizards – Price continues to hold onto some fantasy value for the Wizards, hitting four 3-pointers in his last three games and averaging seven points, four rebounds and four assists over that stretch. But once John Wall is back, Price's value will nose dive.
Shooting Guards
Jordan Crawford Wizards – Crawford has bounced in and out of the Wizards starting lineup this season but is heating up again, scoring between 17 and 19 points in each of his last three games. He's surprisingly only hit two 3-pointers in those three games, but that should change. He is shooting it well right now (23-of-47 in last three), but could lose his touch at any time. And when his shot is off, he's not fun to own.
Gary Neal Spurs – Neal has been starting at shooting guard for the Spurs and is playing well, hitting double figures in scoring in four straight games and averaging 16 points, four rebounds, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers over that stretch. Of course, it's impossible to tell how long Gregg Popovich will stick with him, but for now he's playing well enough to be started in fantasy leagues.
Jeff Taylor Bobcats – Taylor is going to be a serious breakout candidate a year from now, but is playing well enough as a rookie to garner some attention right now. He's hit double digits in scoring in six of his last seven games and is averaging nearly 2.5 steals and two 3-pointers over his last six games. Just keep in mind that he'll take a hit when Gerald Henderson returns this week.
Randy Foye Jazz – Foye has been starting at shooting guard for the Jazz and has scored in double figures in five of his last seven games, including a 20-point night on Saturday. That was a big game for Foye, as he also had six assists, three steals, a block and four 3-pointers in that one, and he's hit eight 3-pointers in his last two games. He looks like a solid pick up as long as he sticks in the starting five.
J.J. Barea/Alexey Shved Timberwolves – Barea started at shooting guard on Friday and had 15 points, five assists and a 3-pointer on 6-of-10 shooting, while Shved came off the bench for 16 points, five assists, four 3-pointers and two steals in that one. JJB's first start of the season, so it remains to be seen if he'll stick in the lineup, while Shved has scored 16 and 17 points in his last two games, hitting seven 3-pointers off the bench.

Pigeon Point Light Station, built in 1871, is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States standing 115 ft tall. It is located a few miles south of Pescadero on a rocky promontory with gorgeous views of the surrounding coastline and Pacific Ocean. The lighthouse is currently undergoing restoration to preserve this important heritage site. I have driven by Pigeon Point several times on the way to various trails in the area including fantastic running in nearby Butano State Park and Big Basin State Park via Waddell Beach. After a nice run, I stopped to enjoy a marvelous sunset on the cliffs near the lighthouse. Some of my favorite photos are below with more here.

Last month's silver screen stars
March 2009
The Cinemascope is meant to give an overview of current movies and their main themes from an astrosemiotical perspective (i.e.: regarding film as semiotic system and translating it into the astrological semiotic system). A well made movie not only has a story and a certain theme, it also provides a special atmosphere, a certain feeling and it draws us into its very own world. This basic quality that is contrived through characters, plot, setting and many other components also translates into one or more astrological principles. Quite simply: a fast-paced action-flick confronts us with plain Aries energy, a horror-movie evokes Scorpio-like abysmal depths and fears etc. We step out of the theatre and – if the film succeeded in sucking us in – find ourselves dwelling on and engaging in that special energetic quality.
month we can find more – and stronger – Aries-energy in two very
different, of course action packed movies.
In Taken, a genre-flick from the French action-factory around Luc Besson (Transporter, Banlieue 13), an ex-CIA-agent (Liam Neeson) has to find and rescue his seventeen year old daughter, who had been abducted by an Albanian white slaver organization while spending a holiday in Paris – lots of action and well choreographed fight-sequences are understood.
Edward Zwick, director of epic adventures like Blood Diamond and Last Samurai, in Defiance centers less on fight-choreography but on the battle for survival and it's impact and meaning. Defiance (starring Daniel Craig as main character) tells the true story of Jewish partisans in 1941, who are fighting against their extermination by the Nazis. The significance of Aries-qualities such as courage, assertiveness, fighting spirit and even recklessness is very much accentuated.
Taurus demonstrates in this month's Shopaholic his materialistic and greedy side. The light comedy revolves around a pretty young woman, who is a shopping addict and finally takes a job as an economic journalist (Gemini shows here already) to pay her bills. With her homespun and simple way of thinking she then even succeeds to bewitch her boss.
and fairy-tales are the realm of Cancer – this year's Oscar-winner
Slumdog Millionaire offers a bit of both: a socially critical fairy-tale
with a hint of Bollywood. But since the narrative about a young man from
a Mumbai slum, who is about to become rich in a TV-quiz show, also is a
very moving life- and love-story, there are some Leo-aspects involved.
More so even because against all odds life itself is celebrated and – if
we engage in the emotional flow – we leave the theatre with a happy
The already mentioned The Wrestler provides the much less happy failing of a Leo-character.
Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood's swan song to Dirty Harry is a thoroughly different kind of cinema than Slumdog Millionaire. In Walt Kowalski, the morose misanthropist, we can perceive a character with strong Virgo- and Capricorn-features, who is upset by the loss of (his somewhat old-fashioned conceptions of) values and decency in his spoiled and indulgent materialistic sons and their families as well as in his violence-ridden poor neighborhood. To a young woman at a party he introduces himself with the phrase "I fix things" – Walt truly comes alive when he can fix things, which could also be an attempt to make up for what he had done a long time ago as a soldier in Korea. After his wife dies, Walt gets fatefully involved with his new Asian neighbors – he makes himself useful again and takes charge. In a quite different way than Dirty Harry would have done…
This month's Libra-movies are He's just not that into you – a light-weight and clichéd date-comedy, that seems to cater to the fans of Sex and the City (which, with all its fashion- and relationship-talk, of course, is also a Libra-movie) – and The Duchess, a sumptuous costume drama, starring Keira Knightley as a young noblewoman in 18th century England, who receives public recognition as a fashion-idol while struggling with her love life.
Das Liebesleben der jeweiligen Protagonistin bestimmt auch die beiden folgenden Skorpion-betonten Filme, wenn auch in sehr unterschiedlicher Weise. Vampire und Werwölfe bevölkern den sehr typischen Skorpion-Film "Underworld – Aufstand der Lykaner", die grausame Versklavung der einen durch die anderen und brutale Machtkämpfe bestimmen den Plot dieser actionreichen, düsteren Unterwelt, in der gefährliche Vampire – Pluto – die Herrschaft über wilde Werwölfe – Mars – aufrechtzuerhalten suchen und eine Vampirin sich in einen Werwolf verliebt...
protagonist's love life also affects the following two Scorpio-influenced
films, albeit in different ways. Vampires and Werewolves populate the very
typical Scorpio-flick Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Cruel enslavement
und dreadful power struggles determine the narrative in this violent, dark
underworld, where dangerous Vampires (Pluto) are anxious to keep their
dominance over wild Werewolves (Mars) and a Vampire falls in love with
a Werewolf…
A far more complex take on Scorpio matters is given in The Reader, where in post-war Germany a young man obsessively falls in love with a much older woman and the story revolves around the erotic obsession and deep emotional entanglement as well as around issues of repression and guilt. When the woman (Kate Winslet got an Oscar for her performance) is brought to trial as a former concentration camp guard, beside the psychological drama, ethical questions are raised and the Capricorn side of guilt and punishment shows.
In politician's careers and biographies Capricorn-topics like responsibility, renunciation and persistence are often found. Nevertheless Gus van Sant's biography of gay icon Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay politician to be elected in the USA and who fought not only for gay but for civil rights, emphasizes typical Sagittarius-features such as broad-mindedness and liberalism, belief and mission – in general: the struggle and the commitment for one's personal vision of a better world.
In cinema it's often the superhero who fights for a better world. But the dark and impressive images in the long awaited adaptation of Alan Moore's cult graphic novel Watchmen, tell us about superheroes, whose altruistic dedication to human well-being was no longer wanted a long time ago. Apart from the Sagitterius motif of the superhero and Nietzschean Superman, apart from the quest for truth, ethics and belief, the movie discusses questions of responsibility and moral conscience, solidarity and community, which evoke Capricorn and Aquarius. These two qualities are also mirrored in the visual realization: bleak, saturnine settings that remind of film noir are combined with the latest technical potential and new special effects.
Another kind of special effect and the high capacity of abstraction Aquarius provides make The Pervert's Guide to Cinema an extraordinary lecture on film and film theory, held by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, who has been an "enfant terrible" and a "popstar" to the academic world for some time now. The remarkable and very entertaining film with Žižek's provocative theories and his somewhat abstract view on film history clearly shows Aquarius-qualities: it shakes up our preconceptions and opens new perspectives to familiar images.
With new images however, Tarsem Singh attracted attention already with his first movie The Cell. His new one though, The Fall, is even more of an extraordinary visual experience. In a Los Angeles hospital in 1915 a paralyzed stuntman meets a little girl and tells her a fantastic adventure story, whose stunning and surreal images were called by a critic a "visual orgy". The Pisces-theme not only shows in the exceedingly strong and dreamlike imagery and the fantasy motif, but also in the escapism, that is served by the narrated tale and in the narrator's life-weary intention to – with the girl's help – accumulate enough morphine to kill himself.Apart from Scorpio-motifs like revenge and the red-light milieu, the brilliant Austrian drama Revanche, revolving around emotional changes after a deadly bank robbery, brings a very unspectacular side of Pisces to the screen. The film requires a calm and patient audience, who at leaving the theatre will then be rewarded with a deep peace, the most precious gift, Pisces can present.
Vesna Ivkovic studied literature and linguistics, sociology, philosophy and history and as well took a profound interest in psychology, mythology and different belief systems. Along the way she also explored various paths of body awareness such as the martial arts of Kung Fu, Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong and several other methods of body work and motion arts. In 1993 she discovered astrology as an instrument of knowledge and graduated in 2004 in Markus Jehle's and Petra Niehaus' master class at the Astrology Center Berlin.

If you think you're seeing more negative campaign ads this year, it's not just you. 2010 is shaping up to be an all-time high — or low — for negative campaigning. It's gotten so bad, a recent Denver Post headline read, "It's a miracle! Some positive campaign ads!" I still haven't seen those yet.

LONGMONT -- Sundrop Fuels has hired international engineering and construction firm IHI E&C International Corp., a subsidiary of Tokyo-based IHI Corp., as the lead contractor on building its inaugural facility near Alexandria, La.
Sundrop is building a $500 million plant that will produce about 60 million gallons of finished gasoline from natural gas. It also will allow Sundrop to prove the value of its proprietary technology to make "green gasoline" from woody biomass.
Sundrop already produces biofuel at a small pilot plant it built in Broomfield.
The company decided to build in Louisiana because it provides cheap and easy access to slash -- a plentiful byproduct of paper mills -- to turn into fuel, the company has said.
Traditional manufacturing of gasoline from natural gas will provide the company the revenue it needs to fund the demonstration portion of the plant, according to spokesman Steven Silver.
With the contractor hired, Sundrop intends to move forward with the design of the new plant, according to Silver. Formal construction is expected to begin later this year, and it's scheduled to begin operating by late 2015.
Once the company demonstrates the effectiveness of its technology, Sundrop plans to build a series of large renewable gasoline plants that are capable of producing more than 200 million gallons of biofuel annually.
Based in Houston, IHI E&C provides engineering and construction services to the oil and gas industry at locations around the world.

Cancer treatment in the United States has improved significantly in the last decade. Many more Americans are surviving, and our cure rates are significantly better than those in Europe.
Cancer treatment in the United States has improved significantly in the last decade. Many more Americans are surviving, and our cure rates are significantly better than those in Europe.
While curing cancer continues to be the highest priority, an increasing number of physicians, dentists and other healthcare professionals in this country are turning more attention to cancer survivors' quality of life.
One of the tools we are using is hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Hyperbaric treatment has long been an effective way to treat decompression sickness, which occurs when skin divers rise to the water's surface too quickly after a dive. More recently, it has been used to heal chronic wounds.
Radiation Wounds
An estimated 1.2 million people are diagnosed with invasive cancer each year, and radiation therapy is an essential part of treatment for approximately half of them. Cancer specialists use increasingly advanced technologies to target the cancer, and they do so with remarkable precision. Their goal is to control or destroy a cancerous tumor while keeping radiation side effects to a minimum. As a result, only five percent of patients experience severe reactions to radiation treatment.
Unfortunately, some people are more sensitive to radiation tissue damage than others, and there are no reliable tests that doctors can use to identify those patients in advance. While we cannot predict whether a specific individual will have severe side effects, researchers have discovered that cells with a high growth rate, such as those in the bladder, bowel, mouth and throat, are more sensitive to radiation damage than other cells.
Researchers also have found that most chronic complications occur when radiation damages blood vessels and interferes with the flow of oxygen to the body's cells. The cells die when this process reaches the point where normal tissues are no longer receiving an adequate supply of oxygen. When the level of tissue death is significant, the patient may require surgery.
Hyperbaric Treatment
Since the 1970s, many dentists and surgeons who treat the head and neck have recognized the value of hyperbaric oxygen in treating jawbone tissue damaged by radiation. We also have found that hyperbaric treatment can be extremely effective in treating radiation damage in the muscles and other tissues in the face and throat, brain, chest wall, abdomen and pelvis, and the extremities. There are reports in medical journals documenting success in treating damage to the bladder and intestines, as well as relieving pain following radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
Hyperbaric treatment also has been quite effective in treating patients with non-diabetic arterial insufficiency wounds, which occur when arteries are partially or completely blocked; vasculitis wounds, which involve inflammation of blood vessels; and acute ischemia, which involves an insufficient blood supply to part of the body. It also works well in healing skin grafts or flaps used to close large pressure sores as well as treating abscesses involving deep tissue and bones as well as other chronic, non-healing wounds.
The high dose of oxygen that patients receive in a hyperbaric chamber is carried through plasma in the blood vessels to the injured area, stimulating new blood vessel growth and replacing scarred tissue with healthy tissue. The swelling in the wound area decreases, which allows blood to flow more freely and bring in even more oxygen. And high oxygen levels increase the ability of white cells in the blood to kill bacteria.
The tissue repair that occurs and the new blood vessels that grow as the result of hyperbaric treatment are permanent. Each treatment takes one to two hours, and most patients need 30 to 40 sessions. Most insurance, including Medicare, covers these treatments.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Just days after coming back from a 1-3 deficit to top No. 30 Florida State, the ninth-ranked Duke women's tennis team concluded it's Florida road trip Sunday, falling to No. 10 Miami, 4-0, at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. Since being limited to just five players on April 5, the Blue Devils have tallied a 1-3 record, dropping the team to 14-6 on the season, and 5-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play.
"Miami played a good clean match against us today," said head coach Jamie Ashworth. "I thought we got a little passive after losing the doubles point and we just couldn't get up in any of the singles matches. They are too good of a team to get behind like we did. We did a good job trying to recover and fight back but against a team as talented as they are we can't get down like we did."
In doubles action, the Blue Devils dropped the doubles point for the second consecutive match after senior Mary Clayton and junior Hanna Mar were unable to slow Clementina Riobueno and Monique Albuquerque on court one. Clayton and Mar broke serve to jump out to an early 3-1 lead, but could not maintain their momentum, eventually falling 8-5.
With the Hurricanes taking the match on court one, and Duke forfeiting the match on court three, Miami secured the doubles point. In the second position, the tandem of sophomore Annie Mulholland and junior Marianne Jodoin were down 4-7 to Stephanie Wagner and Melissa Bolivar when the point was clinched.
The Hurricanes carried the momentum into singles, taking early leads on four of the five courts. Senior Nicole Lipp fell to Deborah Suarez on court five, while No. 23 Mar dropped a hard fought match to No. 79 Wagner. Mar, a native of Burr Ridge, Ill., now owns an 8-6 singles record against nationally ranked opponents and falls to 7-5 overall on the dual match season.
Clayton, who was tabbed at No. 110 in the most recent ITA poll, fell behind 0-2 in her match against No. 81 Kelsey Laurente, but rallied when she broke serve to 2-3. Despite the comeback, the recent Duke Tennis Hall of Fame Inductee was unable to stop Laurente in the opening set, falling 6-3. In the second set, Clayton held a 5-4 lead when the match was clinched.
After claiming 21 consecutive singles matches and tallying a perfect 16-0 singles record in dual matches, Jodoin was moved into the third position for the first time this season. Jodoin opened the match by taking an early 2-0 lead against No. 121 Riobueno, but dropped the next three to find herself down 2-3. Riobueno took the first set, 6-4, and held a 4-3 advantage when the match was clinched for the Hurricanes. In the fourth position, Mulholland was behind Bolivar, 4-6, 0-4, when the match was decided.
The Blue Devils continue their five-match road trip Wednesday, April 17 as they travel to Chapel Hill to take on top-ranked North Carolina at 3 p.m. The two teams met earlier this season in the semifinals of the ITA National Indoor Championship, when the Tar Heels topped the Blue Devils, 4-0.
"This week we are going to really take a good look at how we start matches and will be ready for a good effort on Wednesday against North Carolina." Ashworth said.

I'm going to have to go on a hunt today to track down a noise in my office which has either just begun, or at least just become noticeable to the point of annoyance. It's a fairly high-pitched whine coming from my PC, so I assume it's a cooling fan, and hopefully a little compressed air will take care of it, though it's always possible something will need replacing. I keep thinking this entire years-old machine will need replacing one of these days, but it keeps trucking along like the Terminator, and every time I think it's developed some fatal issue, I find a cure just as soon. Maybe this time it's terminal just because I'm assuming it isn't, and the fates just love to mess with assumptions. We shall see.

I am new to this whole "learn what is in your kitchen" thing. I had no idea that there were different oils for different uses until yesterday when I was going to pour some olive oil into the pan and start frying some potatoes. My husband asked me if that was the correct oil or if we should use grapeseed.
He was met with a look of bewilderment, and then it concerned him that I hadn't answered yet but instead was staring into the vastness of our cupboard with crazy eyes, an overwhelming sense of unsureness.
He encouraged me to read the label on the front, and wouldn't you know? It TELLS YOU what to use the oil for! We used to use vegetable oil for everything, or butter. Then we just used butter, real butter, the good wonderful tasting tried and true butter. Then my husbands cholesterol skyrocketed (not just from butter but the processed fats we were eating) and we cut back on frying with butter, we turned then to olive oil.
Now it seems we have so much oil in the cupboard that I spend at least 5 minutes making a decision as to what oil to use. I am not a professional oil user, yet. But give me time.
In case you are looking for some real information in this post, let me give you the facts:
Bertolli Classico Olive Oil (currently in our cupboard) is for sauces, roasting and grilling and all purpose cooking. We would typically use this for fried potatoes, chicken, and our pasta sauce.
Pompeian Grapeseed Oil is for stir-frying, deep frying, sauteing and baking. We would use this in our stir-fry, and when we like sauteed onions or mushrooms in our casseroles (hot dishes for you folks up north) and in our cake mixes (if this wife wasn't sugar free and still made cake out of mixes).
Happy frying! Or sauteeing!

By Andy Metzger
BOSTON -- While the fate of Tim Cahill and co-defendant Scott Campbell lays this week with a jury on the ninth floor of Suffolk Superior Court, advocates and politicians around Massachusetts have already passed varying judgments on Attorney General Martha Coakley's decision to prosecute the two.
Coakley alleged that Cahill's decision to run taxpayer-funded ads promoting the Massachusetts State Lottery during a campaign for governor where he also touted his record overseeing the lottery was a criminal violation of state ethics law, which had been overhauled following the prosecutions of former Sen. Dianne Wilkerson and former House Speaker Sal DiMasi. The defense has argued the ads were intended to restore confidence in the lottery after the Republican Governors Association criticized the agency and Cahill for spending on a fleet of cars and lobby renovations.
"The motive here was not to spend $1.5 million to promote the lottery - even despite the RGA ads - but the motive and the fraudulent intent here was to use a found $2 million - 75 percent of $2 million - to promote the gubernatorial campaign. We allege that that's an unwarranted, unfair and unlawful advantage. And it's criminal in Massachusetts," Coakley said at an April 2 press conference announcing the indictments.
Former Treasurer Joe Malone, a Republican, believes that if the charges are true, Cahill has found himself out of step with the modern movement toward higher ethical standards.
"I think what you see oftentimes in politics is that what was done during one era or one decade, then in the next decade, the citizens of the state or nation decide that that's no longer to be tolerated," Malone told the News Service Monday morning. "Time will tell but I think that Treasurer Cahill might have gotten caught in the middle of that changing of times."
Asked whether the alleged actions would have been acceptable during his time as treasurer from 1991 through 1998, Malone said, "I can only tell you that we didn't do that, and up at the State House at that time as a Republican there was certainly an awful lot of eyes on us, and so we made sure - with the purpose of protecting the taxpayers' dollars, with the purpose of not stepping in any trouble - that we asked ourselves several times: is this the right thing from the taxpayers' standpoint."
Malone said that presidential politics can stray into the gray area as well, saying, "There are people who say, 'Well, the president is going on a trip to a certain state; he's going to combine some politics and a fundraiser with also some business that he's doing for the country.' It is a thin line that you have to be careful about not crossing."
Sen. Robert Hedlund (R-Weymouth) has been vocally critical of Coakley's decision to prosecute Cahill, a Democrat-turned independent candidate, who Hedlund has said he has known for 25 years.
"I don't know if it's an overreach," Hedlund said on a recent episode of Broadside with Jim Braude. "But if this is the standard then there's an under-reach on a whole host of other fronts with all the shenanigans that go on with our tax dollars on Beacon Hill."
The alleged crimes - conspiracy to commit procurement fraud, procurement fraud, conspiracy to obtain an unwarranted privilege and obtaining an unwarranted privilege - were made criminal acts by the legislature in 2009 when ethics laws were overhauled. Each charge carries a sentence of up to five years in state prison and a $10,000 fine, according to Coakley.
"Understanding that with the Legislature's action, I think that all elected officials need to be aware that there will be greater scrutiny on the use of taxpayer dollars," Coakley said at the April press conference.
Pam Wilmot of the good government advocacy group Common Cause lobbied for passage of the law, and said in an email to the News Service that if Cahill is guilty of using public funds for his campaign's benefit, it will have been a good application of the law.
"If Cahill had the necessary fraudulent intent, and the jury concludes that the facts bear this out, it will be a good application. There is a lot of money involved, 1.8 million, and public officials have a duty to uphold the public's interest and not sacrifice it for personal gain," Wilmot wrote.
Wilmot also said Cahill's case appears to be a difficult one for the prosecution to prove.
"There are grey areas where a particular action or expenditure may have political implications and yet not be made for that purpose. In the Cahill case, the prosecution will have [to] prove that the ad buy was primarily intended to help Cahill's election rather than to improve lottery returns, that Cahill knew this, and fraudulently ordered the ads to run anyway. That's a pretty high bar for the prosecution," Wilmot wrote.
Harvey Silverglate, a civil liberties advocate and defense lawyer, came out unequivocally against Coakley's decision to prosecute Cahill.
"[M]y gripe with the Cahill prosecution is that the statute, as interpreted by the attorney general's office, would appear to criminalize conduct that the average citizen, and surely the average person in Cahill's position, would deem quite normal political activity. Most political figures use the accoutrements of their offices to promote their political careers," Silverglate wrote in an email to the News Service. He said the law itself suffers from "unconstitutional vagueness," and said it could run afoul of the Declaration of Rights in the state's constitution. Silverglate said, "I cannot see how Cahill committed a crime."
As the legislation was debated three and a half years ago, Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) said it would "stand the test of scrutiny" and said the legislation made clear that "there are serious penalties that ensure that justice will be swift and it will be strong for those who flaunt the rules that we put down."
Gov. Deval Patrick signed the bill July 1, 2009, saying it represented "the most comprehensive improvements in our ethics, lobbying and campaign finance laws in a generation."
Patrick, Treasurer Steve Grossman and Rep. Peter Kocot (D-Northampton), who worked on drafting the law, all declined to comment on the ongoing criminal trial, through aides.
In April 2012, Grossman said, "These indictments indicate a gross violation of public trust and a violation of the public office that was held by a constitutional officer."
In his appearance on Broadside, Hedlund said Cahill got "a raw deal" and alleged that the prosecution itself was politically tinged, saying, "I wonder if there's an aspect of this that, 'You know, he's a guy who left the party, maybe he's an easy target.' "
One hallmark of Cahill's defense has been that he "wore two hats," as treasurer and candidate, and that although it was difficult he was able to balance the two roles.
Patrick discussed the balancing of politics and governing this fall after facing accusations from Republican Sheriff Tom Hodgson that he was spending too much time on the campaign trail to help President Barack Obama's re-election effort.
"I'm governor all the time. I'm connected and involved and engaged all the time, and the folks who are playing politics with my doing the political part of my job, I guess I would ask them whether they are making time for their jobs," Patrick told reporters on Oct. 15.
After about a month of testimony, Superior Court Judge Christine Roach planned to spend Monday working on her instructions to the jury. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are scheduled to deliver closing arguments when Cahill's trial resumes Tuesday morning.

The Bohemia Interactive Studios Forums have a confirmation from CEO Marek Spanel of sketchy reports from yesterday that a pair of the company's employees have been arrested for espionage. This is reported in Greek on NEWS247, and a machine translation shows us this says a pair of Czechs were arrested in Myrina, Greece with a camcorder and photographs of camps and military facilities. They have explained they were doing research for Arma 3, but there's no further word yet on how this is playing out. Spanel's post confirms the report is true, but asks that it not be discusses in the forums "at least until we know more specific details about the case."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mario Manningham hobbled into the Superdome stands on crutches and found an out-of-the-way seat to watch his San Francisco teammates go through media day frenzy on the field below, his emotions mixed.
It's been nearly two weeks since the 49ers wide receiver underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee and almost a year since he made the catch of his life in the New York Giants' Super Bowl victory.
Manningham hoped to be playing on the New Orleans turf Sunday, when the 49ers face the Baltimore Ravens in the franchise's first Super Bowl in 18 years and with a perfect 5-0 championship record to protect. Instead, the soft-spoken wideout could win another ring, this time as a spectator.
"Possibility," he said of capturing back-to-back titles. "This is different for me right now. I'm not down, I just wish I could help my team. You're never down. It's not bitterness. It's not like I did something for me not to be out there. I'm not out there because of injury."
Yet this is hardly how Manningham envisioned it when he left the Giants and headed out West to play for Jim Harbaugh and the team he helped beat in last year's NFC championship game.
He did his very best not to sound glum. The crutches and bulky knee brace said it for him Tuesday morning.
As much as Manningham wants to be out there to help the NFC champion Niners (13-4-1) this weekend in the Big Easy, he realizes it's rare enough just to return to the NFL's showcase in consecutive years — with different teams.
That's something special to take from this unique Super Bowl experience.
"I don't think that's by coincidence," fellow injured wide receiver Kyle Williams said. "Mario's a great player. Any team that he gets on he's instantly going to make better."
While having the appreciation of his teammates sure helps, that doesn't make it easier now. Not after that spectacular over-the-shoulder 38-yard catch between two defenders in which he managed to stay inbounds to start the game-winning, 88-yard touchdown drive in last season's 21-17 Super Bowl victory against New England.
The reception highlighted a five-catch day for 73 yards. Manningham also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning with 8:34 remaining in regulation of the NFC title game to help New York reach the Super Bowl — beating the 49ers 20-17 in overtime on their home field of Candlestick Park.
All the big plays from his memorable 2012 postseason are still plenty fresh.
"I think about it," Manningham said. "Good thing I got a chance to come back. There aren't too many players who leave one team and go back the next year."
The 26-year-old Manningham had 39 catches for 523 yards and four touchdowns last year before leaving New York. He made 42 receptions for 449 yards and one touchdown in 12 games and 10 starts this season, his fifth in the NFL.
"Mario Manningham has his fingerprints all over our success, as do a lot of people," Harbaugh said. "The players on our team, this is a shared thing. Everybody doing a little adds up to a lot."
Manningham and Randy Moss joined the 49ers in the same week last March, significant upgrades by general manager Trent Baalke to a receiving corps that had just one catch for 3 yards in the 2012 NFC championship game.
His plan is to watch Sunday standing up, while keeping pressure off his knee. Manningham said there's no way could possibly sit down through a Super Bowl, even if his healing knee would be better for it.
"I'm going to be alright," he said. "Injuries are part of the game, I'm not mad. I wish I was playing. Everything happens for a reason."
Manningham hurt his knee in a 42-13 loss at Seattle on Dec. 23, tearing the anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate ligaments.
For now, he will offer up any insight he can for those teammates who haven't been to a Super Bowl — which is most of them.
"I know it's a big stage. We're going to treat it like it's just another game," Manningham said. "I just tell them don't worry about the crowd. Don't worry about the crowd, because you are the only game that's going to be watched on Sunday, so there will be people watching and you're going to hear everything. You're going to see flashes and stuff. Just don't worry about it. Just go out there and play."
For Manningham, getting back on the field — the goal is in time for the 2013 opener — is all about baby steps. Literally.
"It's going good. I started light walking on there a couple days ago," he said. "Just trying to get stronger and come down here and root for my team."
He typically uses just one crutch, but brought two for this trip considering how much he'll be moving around.
Next up in his rehab: wiggling his toes and doing quadriceps raises.
"That's the only thing I can right now," he said.
That, and hope for one more sparkly souvenir championship ring.
"I know that my team is going to win it," Manningham said. "I would be wrong if I said they weren't."

While we're all just sitting around watching the Olympics, Anne Abernathy is training for them. Again.
The 60-year-old known as "Grandma Luge" appeared in a record six Winter Games — 1988 through 2006 — for the U.S. Virgin Islands. After a brief break from competition, she has zeroed in on a new sport: archery. With the help of coach Ruth Rowe in Centreville, Va., she hopes to be ready for Rio 2016.
So if you've ever wondered whether you can grow up to become an Olympian even if you're already grown up, the answer is yes.
The question is whether it's a good idea.
"My knee blew out last night. Welcome to the life of an Olympic athlete," jokes Abernathy, who's the first to admit that the path she has chosen isn't as glamorous as it sounds. It takes every minute of your time, every ounce of your strength and every cent in your bank account.
But there's nothing like facing off against the best in the world. That's why Abernathy can't quit. It's also why other folks who are old enough to know better still harbor fantasies of going for the gold.
Consider Silicon Valley venture capitalist Paul Bragiel, 36, who got caught up in Olympic fever last year. He moved to Finland to start cross-country skiing (which he'd never done before). He persuaded Colombia to grant him citizenship (despite his not knowing Spanish). And he looked poised to make it — until he was sidelined by sickness and missed the qualifiers for Sochi.
The lesson we can learn from Bragiel's experience is that with enough determination and resources, you can be a contender. To walk into an Olympic stadium, you need a little bit more than that.
For starters, Abernathy says, "get a good coach and do something you love." When she tried luge for the first time — at the age of 28 — she fell head over heels. (Although not literally: In luge, you go feet first down the track.) She hadn't played sports in high school in Northern Virginia because her mother "didn't think it was ladylike," but as an adult she'd started playing racquetball and went to the gym regularly. So Abernathy was up for a physical challenge.
That's important because luge training takes a serious toll on the body. There's no mechanical steering or brakes, just your muscles, Abernathy says. She spent hours strengthening her core, back, shoulders, legs and even neck. "There's no support and you have to hold it up," explains Abernathy, who used a belt to lift weights with her head.
The other aspect of the sport potential luge athletes need to be prepared for is the danger. Georgian Nodar Kumaritashvili died during a training run before the 2010 Winter Games, and although fatalities are rare, injuries from crashing into the walls are common. "Every athlete has a luge tattoo," Abernathy says, referring to the bruises (and worse) that come with the sport.
It's also not the easiest activity to do everywhere. (That's particularly true for Abernathy, whose residence is in St. Thomas: "There isn't that much ice there other than in drinks.") Training required her to travel frequently to Lake Placid, N.Y., and tracks across Europe.
For adults hoping to follow a similar path to the Winter Olympics, there's probably a smarter sport to pick. One possibility: curling.
The oldest athlete representing the United States at the 2014 Games is 45-year-old Ann Swisshelm, a curler. Four years ago, Canadian skip Kevin Martin — whom you may remember as a very bald 43-year-old — led his curling team to the gold. So age isn't a limiting factor the way it is with many other Olympic events.
Even better, it's totally doable, points out Dominique Banville. She's a board member with the Potomac Curling Club, which operates the National Capital Curling Center in Laurel, Md.
"You look at it and think you can do it," Banville says. "You see moguls, and you think you can't."
The perceptions are somewhat deceiving. "Like any sport that experts do, they make it look easy," notes Banville, who's also the director of the Division of Health and Human Performance at George Mason University. "When people compare this to shuffle board, it irritates me."
Top curlers boast strong legs, backs and triceps to power their sweeping, have the flexibility required to deliver a stone and can keep at it for a three-hour-long game, Banville says. To perform at a high level, you'd need to implement an off-ice workout routine — maybe using some moves from the book "Fit to Curl" by John Morris. But the most demanding part of a training program is practice, practice, practice.
Could someone reading this article be a potential Olympic curler? The only way you'll find out is to try it, Banville says. Even if you don't wind up in the running for a silver medal, there's a silver lining: Unlike luge, it's a sport you can play for the rest of your life.

I've made it no secret that I grew up a huge professional wrestling fan.
As such, it should come as no surprise that I was a total geek for the Ultimate Warrior as a kid.
You remember the Ultimate Warrior, right?
On the off-chance that you were not privy to the adventures of the Ultimate Warrior or if maybe Father Time has let him slip from your memory, here is a quick summation of his in-ring career:
That's basically it.
He had colorful face paint and tassels and looked like he was a real-life version of the Incredible Hulk.
He ran down to the ring, he screamed, he flexed, he shook the ropes, he did the most simplistic, idiot-proof moves imaginable and that was about it.
Well, I guess that's not all he did.
He also cut absolutely batshit insane promos too.
Seriously, we're talking completely incomprehensible stuff. The dude might as well have been speaking in Martian with a Chinese accent. It was all complete nonsense.
In fact—because I love you all so very much—here is a compilation video of some of his "classic" promos:
Anyway, as a kid it didn't really matter that he spoke gibberish and couldn't wrestle; because he was a real-life superhero and that means that he was still the coolest thing in the world, despite all of his now painfully obvious short-comings as a performer.
That having been said, you definitely need to buy me this little nostalgia nugget that I found on ebay:
That's right, it's one of his personalized dusters from his horrendous stint in World Championship Wrestling in the late '90s.
Naturally, you must buy this for me.
It's autographed!
It's 25% off!
It's the Ultimate Warrior!
I have no idea why you're still reading this when you could be clicking "BUY IT NOW."
Seriously, time is running out y'all!

Easton's O.A. Robotics Club to compete in national championship
EASTON – As the rain poured down outside Tuesday afternoon, it was a storm of activity inside the Oliver Ames Robotics Club workshop.
More than a dozen students were busy packing up the creation they've been working on for the past six weeks .
More than $10,000 in donations and countless hours of manpower have gone into the robot they've named the Iron Curtain. Now they are taking part in a national competition. And these students are already making history.
"We're very lucky, our club has never been to the national competition before," said Michael Brown. The 18-year-old senior is one of the co-founders of the Easton Robotics Club. The national competition is being held in St. Louis, Missouri next week. The FIRST (For inspiration and recognition of science and technology) competition has more than 300 clubs taking part from all over the country.
The Iron Curtain robot made its way to to the event by way of a wildcard vote from another team. "We've already made it farther than in any other year," said 16-year-old sophomore Thomas Canty. He's helped build and design the robot. "I'm nervous because I am also driving it during the competition," he said.
All of the robots that are entered into the competition must be fabricated to withstand the rigors of competition. In this case, the 119-pound machine was designed to basically play basketball. It can push a ball with its arms, as well as block other shots.
There is a strategy to the Iron Curtain's design. "It's strictly a defensive robot," said Jack Duffy-Protentis. The 16-year-old sophomore helped to design and build the robot. "It has a built-in bar and two side doors that help it deflect and bat balls."
The FIRST competition changes the tasks that the robots must perform every year. The model they built last year was able to shoot Frisbees and do a chin-up. But one thing doesn't change. "The whole idea is to get our team to work, design and build together," said Brown. That teamwork has already taken the team to competitions in Rhode Island and Northeastern University.
Eight members of the Easton Robotics Club will be taking a long bus ride out to St. Louis during April vacation next week for the competition.
They will be lugging along some spare doors that Duffy-Protentis made, as well as materials to fix the Iron Curtain if it gets dinged up in competition. "It's working a lot better than I thought," said Canty. "Our strategy is just to get noticed."

Schryver, Perdue Ready for Winter Cup
Lincoln, Neb. - Nebraska men's gymnasts Grant Perdue and Eric Schryver have qualified for the 2013 Winter Cup Challenge. Schryver tied for 10th on pommel horse and finished 28th on parallel bars and 25th on high bar in the event finals at the 2012 Visa Championships. Perdue earned a 15.40 on floor exercise at the 2012 NCAA Individual Finals, allowing him to qualify to compete in the 96-person competition.
"I'm extermely excited to be competing in the Winter Cup this year," said Schryver. "I've been to Vegas before, so I think that helps avoid some of the distractions. It's definitely an honor to be competing here when I see some of the others on the list."
Teammate Wyatt Baier also qualified for the Winter Cup Challenge after finishing 31st overall at the Visa Championships. The NU senior earned the 23rd spot in the nation on vault with a two-day total of 30.400. He also competed on floor and parallel bars. Baier will be unable to compete this weekend, though, after breaking his leg while preparing for the Stanford Open in January.
The 2013 Winter Cup Challenge will be held in Las Vegas, Nev., on Feb. 7-9. Approximately 96 gymnasts will be split into two seperate sessions for the preliminary round on Thursday. All members of the U.S. Senior National Team were invited to compete, along with all the 2012 Visa Championship qualifiers.
The remaining athletes were invited based on their scores from select 2012 national championships. This included individual event scores from the 2012 NCAA Championships, allowing Perdue to qualify for the Winter Cup. The sophomore was named a 2012 first-team All-American on floor with his fourth-place finish in the individual finals.
Both Schryver and Perdue were sorted into the second qualifying session, which will start at 6:30 p.m. CST on Thursday. The two Huskers will start on floor exercise, rotating in Olympic order from there. The top 42 athletes from the qualifiers will then move on to the finals on Saturday, Feb. 9. The top three athletes on each event will also advance to the finals.
The 2013 Winter Cup will serve as a qualifier for the 2013 U.S. National Team, along with the 2013 U.S. National Championships, which will be held Aug. 15-18 in Hartford, Conn. Tickets for the National Championships are currently available. Live timing will be available for the Winter Cup at wintercupchallenge.com.

Bedford church holds Celtic music concertBy KATHY REMILLARD
Union Leader Correspondent March 08. 2013 11:09PM
BEDFORD - The Bedford Presbyterian Church will host a special concert Sunday night, featuring entertainment by a nationally recognized musician who happens to be a member of its congregation.
Joe Deleault, with some help from James Prendergast on guitar and Ellen Carlson on fiddle, will perform Celtic and Canadian music at 7 p.m. in the church sanctuary.
Church elder Gretchen Gray said Deleault has put on concerts at the church for about five years as a way to raise money for its mission work.
The concert will feature a free will offering, and refreshments will be served, Gray said.
"Joe is a nationally known artist, and he's a really talented pianist and composer," Gray said, recording with such stars as Carly Simon and Jon Bon Jovi.
Members of the congregation have been traveling to Louisiana for the past several years to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina, Gray said.
"We've been doing mission work for years and years," she said. "But we really started in earnest with Katrina. We've literally been helping people rebuild their lives."
George Reese, mission elder, said that since 2006, the church has sent 247 of its members on seven mission trips, repairing 28 homes, one church and a small business.
"Every year, we send a group of anywhere from 25 to 40 people for the yearly mission trips," he said.
Its youth mission program also carries out volunteer projects, including three trips to rural Maine to assist another church.
Last year, the adult group was a bit closer to home, helping a family in West Virginia renovate their home, which had never had a complete bathroom or hot water tank.The volunteers are scheduled for a return trip to the state in April.
Locally, the church also supports the New Hampshire Food Bank, the Bedford Caregivers and the New Horizons soup kitchen.
The concerts aren't the largest fundraisers for the church, Reeves said, but they're a way to get the community together, while benefiting an important part of the church.
"This is fellowship that raises money," he said. "It's just as much about the fellowship."
Gray said the evening will be a good way for people to escape the winter doldrums.
"It's so much fun, and you have an opportunity to see some really talented artists that play just for the joy of it, and support a good cause," she said.
