Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
A twisted revamp of Rankin-Bass by way of Edward Gorey.
Something Borrowed (2011)
Here we go again: big lies swell and then pop in a flick that's one-hundred percent adherent to the shiny, colorful Warner Brothers rom-com style guide.
Dexter: The Fifth Season (2011)
Season Five's twelve episodes unfortunately retrace some of the steps of earlier seasons when the show should be focused on breaking new ground, but
remains entertaining in its complications...
The Fox and the Hound/The Fox and the Hound II (1981)
Sweet but a bit dull...Overall, the picture is good-hearted and colorful, with an ending that carries a nice touch of ambiguity about the tussle of nature and nurture.
Mars Needs Moms (3D) (2011)
The whole fiasco turns out to be an excuse to let Seth Green play a (redubbed) little boy. Next time, maybe just cast a real boy, build some sets in an old barn, and have Mom make the costumes.
Paul (2011)
The comic targets and the central manchildren bromance all feel overly familiar...Still,
benefits from Pegg and Frost's British comedic slant and the full complement of comedic talent...
Overboard (1987)
Marshall's sunny, sitcomedic comedies tend to be kinda bad but also compulsively watchable, and this one's no exception...
Burn Notice: Fall of Sam Axe (2011)
A reasonably fun double-episode of
Burn Notice
...Who doesn't love Bruce Campbell?
Soul Surfer (2011)
Faith-based...With its sports-movie structure and Hollywood production values,
Soul Surfer
is a creditable crossover picture; it just could've done with more nuance.
The Name of the Rose (1986)
For labyrinth-lovers...a thoughtful and entertaining murder mystery predicated on intellectual debate.
Sleepers (1996)
Despite it all, just try to take your eyes off this movie: skillfully crafted by Levinson,
is eminently watchable, deeply emotional, and populated with top acting talent.
Copycat (1995)
[Gives] Weaver equal billing with everyone's favorite Southern spitfire, Holly Hunter. Teaming up these heavyweights is the genius notion of
, a solid serial-killer thriller elevated by phenomenal acting.
Better Off Dead... (1985)
Full of...goofy ironies, and while it ain't Molière, it is a pretty great entry in the teen-comedy genre.
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2011)
Fits neatly into Weerasethakul's cinema-shaking oeuvre of beautiful experimentation.
Life During Wartime (2010)
A typically horny-thorny Solondzian dramedy...Solondz's is a universe of limitless disappointment.
Beauty and the Beast (1946)
Forbidding images of forbidden people and places delineate the edges of an otherwise simplistic fable...in its languid romance,
Beauty and the Beast
is about the irrepressible, exciting rightness of the 'wrong.'
High and Low (1963)
One of the all-time-great 'procedurals'...the devilish fun is in the details for Kurosawa.
Limitless (2011)
Burger plunges into the material at such a headlong pace and with sufficient adrenalized style as to propel this essentially trashy thriller and distract from the abundant loose ends.
Be Cool (2005)
As loosely adapted from Elmore Leonard's
Get Shorty
sequel novel, the sequel movie
Be Cool
tastes like a watered-down drink.
Winter in Wartime (2011)
Spielbergian touches...a good enough mainstream drama, but one can't help but feel it's a missed opportunity to give Terlouw a more textured treatment.
The Music Room (1958)
A surprisingly sympathetic elegy for the feudal class, or at least one of its sad representatives...the notion of lost legacy informs the film's distraught last word: 'blood.'
Naked (1993)
Leigh's extensive use of improvisation in rehearsal led to a razor-sharp final script, endlessly blooming with memorable dialogue that—while never less than credibly naturalistic—proves thematically fertile.
Source Code (2011)
Source Code
is philosophical science fiction and not just 'sci fi,' there's something to chew on here about consciousness: when it begins and ends, and that old chestnut of what constitutes reality.
Das Boot (1981)
Few war films are more potent than
Das Boot
...the ultimate submarine movie.
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Figgis puts a desperate drunk front and center and demands we deal with him and the Jungian shadow he casts.
The Horse Soldiers (1959)
Though flawed, John Ford's
The Horse Soldiers
has a fair amount going for it: the well-oiled partnership of Ford and star John Wayne (and an assist from William Holden); Ford's vivid visual style; and large-scale action.
Hobo With a Shotgun (2011)
The screenplay plays like the result of a 'Write the Most Vile Line Ever' contest, which in itself will be a huge draw for cinematic dumpster divers.
Louie: The Complete First Season (2011)
Seemingly conceived on the fly as much as it's shot on the fly,
cultivates the unexpected.
Ceremony (2011)
More interested in melancholy wryness than belly laughs, and the low-key results have a pleasant fizz.
Zazie dans le métro (1960)
Jazzy and daring...takes Raymond Queneau's novel—the sort generally considered 'unfilmable' and makes a film so cinematic as to appear
sui generis
Original Sin (2001)
Though written and directed by a Pulitzer Prize winner,
Original Sin
is better known as the picture in which a naked Angelina Jolie (by then a certified Oscar winner) and Antonio Banderas do the horizontal mambo.
People on Sunday (a.k.a. Menschen am Sonntag) (1930)
People on Sunday
regards people lazing about, its legacy is that of filmmakers proving their industriousness.
The Long Riders (1980)
Hill's lean, mean approach never had a more appealing texture than it does here...
Of Gods and Men (2011)
Loses some power by letting the central debate fizzle out...but rallies in the end with an eloquent post-climactic testament by Christian, an attempt to respond rationally to the irrational.
Hair (1979)
benefited from the creative freedom of '70s cinema...at its best when it's most creatively subversive...
New York, New York (1977)
Ultimately a very personal film about how Scorsese views a genre of film and, as such, has a much more coherent vision than its reputation would suggest.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
The latest workmanlike entry in what must be regarded as an unprecedented film series has plenty of flaws, but also the franchise's reliable draws.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Emerson said, 'A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,' but in this franchise--where you're likely to spot a hobgoblin or two--the consistency isn't foolish but miraculous.
Spectacle: Elvis Costello With... - Season Two (2011)
Features the leading light of popular music today, Elvis Costello, as host and regular perfomer.
Insignificance (1985)
Reflects Roeg's views of the absurdity of American history and our compulsion to destroy beauty.

BLISSFIELD � The Hillsdale High School boys basketball team took care of its business and set up a conference showdown.
A big night from Andrew Wilcox led the hot-shooting Hornets to a convincing 73-30 victory over the Blissfield Royals in a Lenawee County Athletic Association game Tuesday.
Hillsdale (13-2, 9-2 LCAA) has won four straight games heading into Friday's game at Onsted. The Hornets took the drama out of this one early, building a 47-13 lead by halftime.
The Hornets increased their lead to 39 by the end of the third quarter and never looked back. For the game, Hillsdale shot 60 percent from the floor en route to sweeping the two-game season series from the Royals.
"We came out and shot the lights out, and doing that spilled over to our defense," Hillsdale coach Brad Felix said. "It was nice to take the early lead, and we took care of business."
Wilcox finished with 22 points, five rebounds and three steals to lead the Hornets. Patrick Drews added 11 points, while Brandon Bisher had nine points and seven assists. Jimmy Chase also scored nine points.
Jordan Wilson had seven points to lead Blissfield.
The Hornets defeated Onsted 60-43 at home on Jan. 11. Friday's game will be the Wildcats' winter homecoming game.
"It doesn't get any easier Friday night," Felix said. "They are a formidable team, and we have to put this one behind us right away and get to work tomorrow."
Hillsdale Academy 61, Camden-Frontier 49
The return of Chip Blood sparked the Hillsdale Academy boys basketball team to a road victory over the Camden-Frontier Redskins in a Southern Central Athletic Association game Tuesday.
Blood, who had missed the last month with an ankle injury, scored 17 points off the bench in his return. Hillsdale Academy (9-6, 8-4 SCAA) led by as much as 20 in the second half before Camden-Frontier (7-9, 4-6 SCAA) fought back to within striking distance in the fourth quarter.
"Chip surprised me yesterday saying he felt good, and it gave our guys a big lift," Hillsdale Academy coach Rick Milligan said. "I didn't expect to play him for as long as he did, but we played well."
Liam Wolfram scored 22 points to lead the Colts. Noah Kalthoff had 12 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks.
"We missed a lot of good looks, and them having Chip back made a difference," Camden-Frontier coach Jason Holubik said. "They hurt us in transition, and we have got to start making shots, plain and simple."
Calvin Conant had 14 points to lead the Redskins. Ethan Riddell added 11 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Gary Johnson finished with eight points and 10 rebounds.
Both teams will play their winter homecoming games Friday. Hillsdale Academy hosts Waldron while the Redskins face North Adams-Jerome.
Pittsford 56, Waldron 37
A fourth quarter surge helped the Pittsford High School boys basketball team pull away for a Southern Central Athletic Association home victory over the Waldron Spartans on Tuesday.
Pittsford (12-2, 11-1 SCAA) was in a battle for most of the game. Leading 22-18 at halftime, the Wildcats upped their lead to eight entering the fourth quarter. Pittsford outscored the Spartans 20-9 in the final frame.
"Waldron had an excellent gameplan and forced us to grind," Pittsford coach Mike Burger said. "We finally got loose in the fourth and got some sets going. Josh Vance's defensive intensity really turned it up for us in the fourth."
Vance finished with 12 points, four assists and six steals, while Kyler Lee led the Wildcats with 14 points. Andy Houser scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Landon Fellows scored 13 points to lead Waldron, while Levi Long added seven points.
Pittsford is off until Feb. 12 when it hosts Litchfield. The Spartans travel to Hillsdale Academy on Friday.
Reading 59, Litchfield 50
Playing one of its cleanest games of the season, the Reading High School boys basketball team rode a hot start to a non-conference road victory over the Litchfield Terriers on Tuesday.
Reading (5-9) had a season low in turnovers while forcing 18 steals itself. The Rangers jumped to a 24-11 lead after the first quarter and held off the Terriers in the second half for the win.
"We shared the ball well and took care of the ball," Reading coach Brett Kerspilo said. "It was nice to see us shoot well early on."
Litchfield (3-11) managed to pull to within three in the fourth quarter, but the Rangers knocked down their free throws in the closing minutes to seal the win.
"We dug a hole early and made a nice comeback, but we didn't execute at the end," Litchfield coach Karl Drake said. "The game was there to be had, and we didn't go get it."
Cody Kafer had 20 points, five rebounds and six steals to lead Reading. Brandon St. Clare scored eight points and handed out three assists, while Alex Simmons had eight points, five rebounds and five assists. Casey Donihue scored nine points.
Devin Conley had 16 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals to lead the Terriers. Kitcimakwa Williams also scored 16 points, while Colt Tefft had 10 points and 17 rebounds.
Will Carleton 47, Tekonsha 29
A fast start lifted the Will Carleton Academy boys basketball team past the Tekonsha Indians in a non-conference game Tuesday.
The Cougars jumped to a 36-13 lead by halftime and never looked back.
Dane Williams scored nine points for Will Carleton, while Ben Baxter had eight points. Chase Harrington had six points, 16 rebounds and five assists, and Austin Hayne and Logan Balcum both scored six points. Joel Wheeler grabbed five rebounds and handed out six assists.
The Cougars will travel to New Covenant Christian on Thursday.

Last week, we rolled the clocks back an hour. It came a week later than last year and I understand it will be even later next year.
There is much controversy about daylight saving time. The idea is that it saves energy because less time is spent working in the dark during the summer. Fine, but it is just the opposite for me. I work early evenings, so in the summer I have to work an hour later in daylight that I'd much rather be spending at home.

ROCKFORD — Will Schirger described his miniature wooden dinosaur as a carnivorous predator, a cross between a shark and a crocodile.
The 6-year-old's vivid imagination rubbed off on his 4-year-old sister, Olivia, who said the red color she added to the floor of the box that held the dinosaur was because her dinosaur's "feet got all bloody because he tripped."
At the same table, Sofi Yanevskyy, 9, and Emma Yanevskyy, 6½, colored their dinosaurs with markers. Emma even glued on some feathers for good measure.
The creative activity was part of PaleoFest 2014 through the Burpee Museum of Natural History. This year featured 22 lectures throughout the weekend, activities for children and families, and a dinner Saturday night with Kirk Johnson, director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
The event focused on the Cenozoic Era, or the "world after dinosaurs."
Paleontologist Scott Sampson, better known as "Dr. Scott" from the PBS show "Dinosaur Train," interacted with the children and even signed a few T-shirts and books during the sold-out workshop at Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St.
Sampson, vice president of research and collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, said Saturday's lesson about pigment was important because experts don't know the colors of most dinosaurs.
The children experimented with their own color patterns, decorating small wooden dinosaurs with markers and other pieces, such as feathers and miniature pom-poms.
"All kids are artists, and all kids are scientists, and this allows them to combine both," Sampson said.
The workshop drew 114 people. Families from the Rockford area attended, as did some from the Chicago suburbs and Wisconsin.
Peter Graf has an extensive history participating in activities and classes at Burpee. He wants to be a historian because he enjoys learning about World War II, sharks and dinosaurs.
"There's not really any real reason why I got into dinosaurs," the 11-year-old said. "I just found it really fun and interesting."
His mother, Alma-Marie, praised Burpee's programs. The family lives in Gilberts, near Elgin, and said the drive to Rockford is worth it for Peter's education.
"What we like about Burpee is, we've been able to develop and extend relationships here, which we could never have fostered at a big museum. It's truly hands-on," she said. "You can't get what you get here."
Sampson said PaleoFest and similar events are beneficial because kids learn about science and nature, which translates into skills for later in life.
"We desperately need that," he said. "Too many kids these days are losing interest in science, and we need to promote science literacy so all these kids can grow up to be adults who know about science and care about science and care about the places where they live.
"Because we all need to be science-literate if we're going to make reasonable decisions in this world today."

Falklands Dispute — Argentina has renewed a dispute with the U.K. over the control of the Falkland Islands, notes VOA News. This week, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner wrote an open letter to the British government and accused it of having "forcibly stripped" the islands from Argentina in a "blatant exercise" of colonialism. British Prime Minister David Cameron rejected Kirchner's call to return the autonomous overseas territory to Argentina while Suki Cameron, the Falkland Islands government representative in London, said the islanders do not want to be part of Argentina. In March the islanders are set to vote in a referendum on whether they want to remain part of a self-governing British territory. The U.K. took control of the Falklands after a 10-week war with Argentina in 1982.
Western Sahara — Al Jazeera reports that the disputed territory of Western Sahara, which has been under Moroccan rule since 1975 when the Spanish left following the dictator Francisco Franco's death, shares commonalities with the occupied Palestinian territories. According to Al Jazeera, "Both involve the exit of former imperial powers, the arrival of forces from outside, alleged repression of the indigenous population, and the protection of the status quo by permanent members of the U.N. Security Council." The difference between the two, however, is that the Israel-Palestine conflict receives wide media coverage while problems in the Western Sahara remain relatively unknown, say rights campaigners.
Cash-Only Vatican — The Vatican now only accepts cash as a form of payment from visitors, reports the Los Angeles Times. Italy's central bank denied a permit to Deutsche Bank in the country to continue handling electronic transactions for the Vatican because the Holy See has failed to comply with E.U. safeguards against money smuggling, say bank officials and Italian media. The Vatican, which had 5 million visitors in 2011, has made no official comment on the matter.
Abortion Risks in Chile — While there's been plenty of media coverage of abortion laws in the U.S. and Ireland in recent weeks, the New York Times sheds light on Chile's severe laws and the legal risks facing even those who counsel women on terminating a pregnancy. In a country where abortion is illegal under all circumstances, 30 abortion hotline volunteers risk both safety and legal consequences, as well as social ostracization, by working to support women looking for help. The risks are so frightening for these volunteers that they wear masks when making public announcements about their work and only one woman, Angela Erpel, was willing to go on record about the hotline. She told the Times, "I'm open about being in an organization, but not necessarily that I work directly with abortion."

Fantasies, Follies and Disasters: The Prints of Francisco de Goya to be Shown at Manchester Art Gallery
Francisco de Goya, Disparate Allegre (merry folly) © Manchester City Galleries.
A new exhibition featuring a compelling selection of rarely displayed etchings by Francisco de Goya opens at
Manchester Art Gallery
this August.
Fantasies, Follies and Disasters features 30 prints selected from the artists three best-known and most significant groups of etchings: Los Caprichos (The Fantasies), Los Desastres della Guerra (The Disasters of War), and Los Disparates (The Follies).
The works are all drawn from Manchester Art Gallerys superb collections, and have not been exhibited together as a group for over 20 years. The gallerys collection of graphic works by the artist is recognised for being one of the most important in the world. It includes over 90 rare first-edition examples of etchings which were purchased in the early 1980s from the estate of the leading Goya scholar Tomás Harris.
Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) was one of the most important and influential European artists of his time. As both Principal Painter to King Charles IV and Director of Painting at the Spanish Royal Academy, he was awarded Spains highest professional honours. Goya also enjoyed a prolific and lucrative career in the portraiture business; his numerous sitters were frequently figures of the establishment.
Yet behind his public facade Goya was profoundly disaffected. In 1792 an illness left him deaf and increasingly introspective. Like other Spanish intellectuals, he was also deeply concerned by his nations troubles: Spain in the late 18th century was widely considered to be backward and rife with poverty and corruption, and the countrys suffering was only to be compounded by the French occupation in 1808.
Goyas etchings, produced largely in private, provide a window into the tormented imagination of this extraordinary artist. His prints feature a mixture of satirical caricatures attacking the ignorance and hypocrisy of late 18th century Spanish society and the Church, and dark, nightmarish landscapes exposing the atrocities and misery suffered in war. Only fully known after his death, many of the works were withheld from publication during his lifetime because of their controversial and disturbing qualities. Yet, today Goya is as well known for these works of art, as he is for his portraits of Europes 18th century nobility.
The exhibition includes some of Goyas most memorable images, such as the iconic The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, with a sleeping artist visited by the terrifying creatures of his imagination. Elsewhere, the famous war subjects withhold nothing in their horrified depiction of violence, torture and famine a woman holds a child in one arm while she spears a soldier with the other; another gruesome scene shows bodies strung up from a tree. Yet Goyas later, final etchings are perhaps the most memorable of all, transforming some of his earlier themes into a timeless, dreamlike world which anticipates much of twentieth-century art.
Manchester City Councils Executive Member of Culture and Leisure, Councillor Mike Amesbury commented: Just like the gallerys hugely successful Leonardo da Vinci exhibition earlier this year, this is another fabulous opportunity to see artworks by one of the great Masters for free.
A second exhibition of Goyas prints from Manchester Art Gallerys collections will follow in February 2010.

DURHAM, N.C. - The Eagles' Katty Workman knocked down a match-high 21 kills to lead Boston College past the Duke volleyball team 3-0 (25-22, 26-24, 25-19) Saturday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke (10-8, 1-5 ACC) never found its rhythm, hitting .183 in the Blue Devils' first home loss of the season. Senior Christiana Gray and freshman Elizabeth Campbell led Duke with nine kills each, while freshman Christina Vucich recorded a double-double with 32 assists and 11 digs.
Workman also picked up a double-double for Boston College (10-9, 4-3 ACC), adding 11 digs to her match-high kill total. Franny Hock and Kellie Branum chipped in with 17 and 13 digs, respectively, helping the Eagles' defense hold the Blue Devils in check most of the night.
The two teams battled back and forth for the majority of the opening set with neither squad able to pull away. A Boston College attack error put the Blue Devils up 21-20 before the Eagles closed out the stanza on a 5-1 run to take the set 25-22.
The second set mimicked the first as the two squads traded points to start the frame. Duke edged ahead, 17-15 following a BC attack error, but the Eagles responded to again tie the score. The Blue Devils again built a two-point advantage and led 24-22, but costly errors allowed the Eagles to tie the score. Boston College took advantage of the opportunity, utilizing a Kellie Barnum service ace and Kameron McLain kill for the win.
Down 2-0, Duke was unable to build any momentum in the third game as Boston College led 16-12 by the midway point. The Eagles' advantage climbed to 21-14, resulting in a Duke timeout. The Blue Devils and the Eagles traded points the rest of the way as Duke could not chip into the Boston College lead.
Duke's current home stretch continues next weekend as the Blue Devils are set to host Clemson Friday, October 12 at 7 p.m., in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Received from : Texana email@example.com
John Worthington (1618-71) was master of Jesus College and Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge. Other Worthingtons were nonconformist ministers: John of Dean Row, and Robert of Mottram-in-Longdendale, who in the 1640′s fought the power of established church. Samuel Worthington was on of the 1st to follow Fox's Quaker movement to Penn. in America. John's diary is free to read on line and it's quite interesting!.
My Reply:
I think that the Samuel Worthington you are talking about is the Samuel "the Quaker" Worthington or Robert "the Quaker" Worthington who landed in West Jersey. My other reply about Samuel applies here, is from my research on that line would indicate, the two Samuel's are the same Samuel.
Hope that helps. I also hope that if others of confirming or different information that they would post a comment to this Blog Post.
Thank you,

I'm getting married this month.
I have a dress and a caterer and a fiance. I also have a pile of manuals that promise to guide me through the "emotional labyrinth' of a second marriage, which, they frequently point out, is more likely, statistically, to end in divorce than my first.
My job connects me with a lot of psychologists and authors, so books like "The Remarriage Blueprint: How Remarried Couples and Their Families Succeed or Fail' (Scribner) and "Saving Your Second Marriage Before It Starts' (Zondervan) and "The Smart Stepfamily' (Bethany House) make their way to my desk.
I can't bring myself to read them. I'm sure they're full of wisdom and guidance and perspective, all things I should graciously collect at the outset of this union.
But I have this other job — parent — that feels like excellent preparation. It's OK, sometimes, to eschew the experts and seek guidance from your own experiences. Right?
My kids did a number on my heart when they arrived — brought it to life and gave it a million new reasons to keep beating and expanding. It was a little down on its luck, my heart. And like a couple of tiny, fat, adorable contractors, my babies gut-rehabbed that sucker.
The new heart weathered a few storms (I promise to abandon this metaphor shortly), including a divorce. But it's still bigger and more capable of goodness than I ever guessed, thanks to those kids.
Also thanks to those kids, I'm learning to be selfless without losing myself. I'm learning to help without enabling. I'm learning to give without indulging. I'm learning to "prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child,' which is one of my favorite gems from parenting coach Betsy Brown Braun.
I'm learning that I have days when I'm pretty good at most of these things and days when I fail loudly and grandly at all of them. I'm learning that some days I can laugh at those failings and some days they bring me to frustrated tears.
And I guess that all feels like good training for a marriage.
I adore this guy I'm about to marry. (He's my Tribune colleague Michael Phillips and my favorite of all the grown-ups I've ever known.) It doesn't feel as if we're entering an emotional labyrinth. It feels as if I won the Powerball after filing for bankruptcy.
Still, I don't want to be one of those people who squander their fortune in a bliss-induced fog and end up penniless.
OK, enough with metaphors.
What I'm trying to say is, I know marriage is hard. I know it can be even harder when you throw kids in the mix and harder still when the kids are from previous marriages.
But I also know that reading a bunch of advice can backfire. The first time I was pregnant, I devoured every guide I could get my hands on.
I spent the first six months of my daughter's life panicked. Why are her fists located so close to her mouth? She's trying to choke herself. Why does she want to choke herself? Do I smell toxins? Are the neighbors microwaving plastic?!?
I read nothing when my son was born. I turned down my panic detector and heard his needs loud and clear.
So I'm proceeding with caution, but not too much caution, on this marriage. I'm armed with an open heart, a decent understanding of what not to do and the knowledge that people, reasonable ones anyway, tell you what they need.
The trick, of course, is to listen. Which is another skill my kids are teaching me.
And I'm still collecting little bits of advice here and there. When I got engaged, my dear friend Susie gave me a copy of "A Love That Lasts: Inspiring Insights From Couples Married 50 Years And Beyond' (Hallmark).
I like inspiring. I dove in. And right there under insight No. 43 was probably the best advice any of us can follow when we're caring for our marriage or our families or ourselves.
"Be kind.'
I plan to.

HILLSDALE � As a light mist fell Thursday morning, Hillsdale�County Park Director Ted Jansen shared his vision of the future for the Lewis Emery Park with board member William Watkins.
Jansen replaced long-time Park Director Ken McCosh after being appointed to the position at the beginning of the month.
Jansen said the position is perfect for him because he has a love for nature. That love was evident as Jansen has already started to keep tabs on every goose, duck and swan that calls the park home.
Jansen�s first priority is fixing the 11 fishing piers which are spread across the six ponds in the park. The piers were originally installed some 20 years ago and have received little attention over the years.
The Hillsdale County Park Board approved the fixing of the piers during Wednesday morning�s meeting. Due to cuts in the budget over the past couple of years, Jansen is asking for help from area individuals and service groups.
Individuals, businesses and service groups can sponsor the materials needed to redeck a pier for $500 or $400 if the individual or group is willing to do the work. A plaque will be placed in the donor's name in front of each pier.
Donors can pick the color they wish to paint the piers from a color pallet the board has chosen.
�I think they will look really nice painted,� Jansen said.
Along with the pier project, Jansen is also looking at dedicating four of the piers on pond four to fallen servicemen from Hillsdale County. Those servicemen include Cpl. James Palmer, Staff Sgt. Michael Hodshire, Staff Sgt. Aaron Jaeger and James Bondsteel, a graduate of Jonesville who received the Medal of Honor.
The park, located at east of town on State Street, was first developed in 1836 by George and Matilda Stone. The county took control of the park in 1965.
The park is open for people to enjoy from dusk to dawn and�features stocked ponds, nature trails, playground equipment, softball field, picnic tables and a 2,400 square-foot community building that can be rented.
Jansen recently received 2,500 perennials donated by a local nursery. He said he was looking to spruce the grounds up with new plants and flowers to make people want to come to the park. He said he wants the entrance to really stand out.
Over the past couple days Jansen has been working on clearing the walking trail to make it more handicapped accessible.
Anyone wishing to sponsor a pier or inquire about renting the community center should contact the Hillsdale County Road Commission at 437-4458.
Jansen looks to replace fishing piers

"When I won the Oscar, I went home and I didn't have (love) in my life," said Kidman, who won best actress for "The Hours" in 2003, two years after she and Tom Cruise were divorced. "That was the most intensely lonely experience in my life."
Kidman stars as Kelly in "Grace of Monaco," which premiered Wednesday as the opener of the Cannes Film Festival. In it, she plays Kelly following her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco (Tim Roth) as she adjusts to royal life and severs ties with Hollywood.
"Strangely for me, the greatest highs have coincided with the greatest lows," said Kidman. "So (during) my professional highs a lot of times I've had personal lows and they've collided. That's always aggravated me that it's gone that way. I'm hoping one day I can have a professional high and a personal high."
Kidman said she drew from her own life to empathize with Kelly, although they differ greatly in husbands.
"I am married to a prince," said Kidman, who wed Keith Urban in 2006. "A country prince."

ROCKFORD — Jeffrey Schroeder, a 36-year veteran of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department, has thrown his hat in the ring to be the county's next top cop.
Schroeder, who retired as the senior sergeant less than two weeks ago, announced his candidacy Wednesday.
The no-nonsense Vietnam veteran joins a crowded Democratic ballot. He will face Bob Springer, a retired deputy chief; Bob Redmond, a retired Rockford police officer; and one-time sheriff's candidate Randy Olson in the March 18 Democratic primary.
Gary Caruana, a former deputy and retired security manager for United Parcel Service, is the only Republican to enter the race so far.
The field could be somewhat expected: It's the first time in about 40 years that an incumbent is not seeking re-election.
Sheriff Dick Meyers plans to retire when his term is up Dec. 1, 2014. And after 17 years at the helm, he will retire as the longest-serving sheriff in Winnebago County history.
Schroeder says he plans to focus on the basics: he wants more patrols, more officers and to reevaluate how the department runs internally so patrol time is the top priority.
"Some people who haven't seen a sheriff's car in a long time are going to start seeing them," Schroeder said.
He was hired by the department in 1977 and served as a patrol officer, detective, shift supervisor and sergeant.
He said his experience sets him apart: "We don't have time to train a sheriff. And a sheriff is worthless without the support of the men and women in this department."
Schroeder said he will seek no more than one term.

Polito's work can be seen at facebook.com/thatpolitoguy or thattvguy.net.
The movie blurb was a decade old, but that didn't stop it from going viral when it was rediscovered by Jay Leno, then posted on Reddit, then shared by George Takei on Facebook.
"The Wizard of Oz (8-10 p.m., TCM) -- Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again."
The only problem was the way the old newspaper clipping was cropped. The credit reads, "Inquirer Television Writer Lee Winfrey" and leaves off a contributor credit to Rick Polito, now a Boulder-based freelance writer and then a syndicated columnist based with the Marin Independent Journal in California.
Polito has been trying to set the record straight and turn the newfound popularity of his movie listings -- Takei has posted a few others and he has more than 15,000 of them on his computer -- into a paying gig.
"It's frustrating having my joke out there with someone else's name on it," Polito said. "For every person who's seen it with my name on it, 10 other people have seen it with someone else's name."
Polito worked for the Marin County newspaper for 17 years and started doing the joke movie blurbs when he helped the copy editors put together the television listings.
"I think in one-liners," he said. "It's a disorder."
Polito gathered a big local following and eventually it turned into a regular column distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.
"People felt like they were in on the joke," he said. " 'Oh, they must have got that one by the editor.' But really, it was on purpose."
Polito thought he had joined an elite club, those who wrote humor for a living. But not enough newspapers picked up the column, and Universal Press dropped him.
"I'd hear from editors that, 'We think it's hilarious, but we don't know what to do with it,'" he said.
Polito eventually left journalism and moved to Boulder with his then-wife and their two children in 2007. He became a stay-at-home father, but lost that role in his divorce.
Since then, he's been trying to revive a comedy writing career and trying his hand at other gigs, including developing a storytelling app called Shake-N-Tell that generates story starters for parents.
Polito hopes the popularity of his Wizard of Oz description will help him get a regular writing job or maybe a book deal, but he needs people to know that he, and not Winfrey, wrote the blurb.
Takei, the actor who played Sulu in the original "Star Trek" who is now a well known Internet personality, was quick to correct the record and credit Polito, but the nature of the Internet is that viral images keep getting shared. Comedian Jack Black recently posted the Oz blurb, still cropped to exclude Polito's name. Polito is trying to get in touch with Black to correct the attribution.
"It's a quest to get the proper attribution, which is in part to see if it can turn into income for a starving journalist," Polito said. "I'm proud of that joke."

Between 23 September and 23 October 2013, the European Union will organise one month of online debates on the Single Market.
The social security coordination communication network brings together communication and social security experts from national ministries and institutions and the European Commission.
Social security is a key issue for people moving within Europe. Thanks to EU rules on social security coordination, citizens moving within the EU should not lose out on their social security rights because of their mobility.
This conference will mark the first anniversary of the new regulations modernising the coordination of social security systems in the EU, applied 1 May 2010.
On 1st May 2010, the legislative package known as "modernised EU social security coordination", started to apply in the 27 EU Member States. A number of significant changes to the previous coordination regime were introduced.
The European Commission will host a seminar in Brussels for Director-Generals of Social Security from the EU Member States and from EFTA dealing with implementation of the modernised EU social security coordination system.
This conference, organised by the French Presidency and co-funded by the Commission had as its theme, "Cooperation between Member States in the coordination of social security schemes in order to avoid fraud and error".

Area hospital administrators comment on Nixon's plan to expand Medicaid, local impact
Existing jobs at Missouri hospitals are hanging in the balance as state lawmakers wrestle with a decision over whether to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
Gov. Jay Nixon visited Kirksville Thursday morning to discuss his plans and associated benefits of Missouri opting in to the expansion, saying it would create 24,000 jobs in 2014 alone, bring in $8.5 billion in federal money through 2019, and provide insurance to an estimated 300,000 Missourians.
Or, Missouri could choose not to expand Medicaid and, the governor noted, allow state tax dollars to go elsewhere.
While Republican lawmakers have largely balked at accepting a piece of Democratic President Barack Obama's health care legislation, the ramifications of not expanding Medicaid go beyond political statements.
Failure to act allows two holes created by the ACA to remain open. From a health insurance standpoint, the ACA provides individuals with incomes of 100-138 percent of the poverty level subsidies to purchase private insurance, but has no such cost break for those below the 100-percent line ($11,170 per year).
The law was originally crafted to require Medicaid expansion, which would cover those individuals, but the Supreme Court's ruling providing states an option opened a coverage gap.
"Without subsidy or relief, these people would remain uninsured," said Thomas McAuliffe, policy analyst with the non-partisan Missouri Foundation for Health. "They could go to the [private health insurance] exchange, but not afford it."
Many uninsured patients seek emergency medical care at hospitals, which by law are required to see them. Nixon said Thursday that hospitals across the state provide well over $1 billion in uncompensated care every year, a reality that helps drive health costs higher, while receiving a total of $256 million in Disproportionate Share Hospital payments to make up some of those losses.
But as part of the way the ACA is funded, those payments would be phased out and eventually eliminated. The law intended for most of those uninsured patients to be covered under Medicaid.
"If we fail to move forward on this [Medicaid expansion], we don't stand still, we move back by $256 million," Nixon said.
The Missouri Hospital Association, which supports the Medicaid expansion, paints a dire picture of a future where the state does not partake in the federal funds. It projects losses of more than 5,000 hospital jobs and 9,000 total jobs in the state through 2021, in addition to more than $1 billion in costs shifted to the insured.
Northeast Regional Medical Center CEO Eric Barber said the local hospital supports expanded Medicaid, adding the DSH payments bring in more than $680,000 annually to NRMC.
"Our total payroll is over $20 million a year. Think about the amount of money we spend paying our employees, our physicians, our residents, paying the electric bills, all the things we do, there's millions of dollars flowing out of our organization. We need every penny coming in," Barber said. "I'd hate to think of us cutting jobs because we don't have the money coming in the door."
Scotland County Hospital CEO Marcia Dial said cuts could be devastating to small, rural hospitals.
"It would be significant and when you take significant dollars away from a hospital our size, then it means that we have to pare back on what we're able to provide. It could cost jobs in our community," she said.
Barber said he shared Nixon's sentiment that politics should not be part of the discussion on Medicaid expansion.
"The appropriate reaction for the state of Missouri, to me, is obvious, and then you add in the families we see every day at Northeast Regional, who fit that category as [Gov. Nixon] so eloquently described. The working class, the people who are really trying to make ends meet, and are unfortunately in a situation where they can't afford health care, or it's not provided by their employer," Barber said.
"There's a gap in the health care system that's been there for the entire 11 years I've been in health care administration. I've always been hopeful someone would find a way to fill that gap. Is this a perfect solution? Probably not. Is it a step in the right direction? Absolutely. I think it makes sense, and if you can help those folks who are trying to make ends meet and raise a family with three or four kids and make care more accessible to their families, make it more affordable, I say go for it."
