Back in April of this year, the Summit County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into the attempted suicide of an inmate at the Summit County Jail.
During the investigation, three deputies who were on duty at the time of the incident in question, were questioned. It was later uncovered that the deputies provided false information to medical staff and investigators.
In a press release on Tuesday, July 17th, Inspector Bill Holland with the Sheriff's Office said that former deputies Teresa M. Stark, Debra Weiland, and Alycia L. Hawkins have been charged with Falsification, a first degree misdemeanor, and Obstructing Official Business, a second degree misdemeanor. Inspector Holland added that two of the deputies quit the department and the third was removed from duty while she was still in her probationary period.
No further information regarding the secifics of the April incident at the Jail were provided.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that a five-year-old boy from the City of Green who was hit by a car outside St. Francis De Sales School Tuesday morning has died.
Sheriff's Office Inspector Bill Holland tells 1590 WAKR that the boy was a student at the school and had just been dropped off in the drop-off area outside St. Francis around 8:23 a.m. Tuesday. The boy got out of the back door along the right side of the car and then walked in front of the vehicle. One of the boy's parents was driving the car didn't notice the boy and hit him; it was not specified whether it was the father or mother.
The Coventry Fire Department and Summit Metro Crash Team responded to the scene. While the investigation is ongoing, Inspector Holland says that speed, alcohol, nor drugs are believed to be a factor in the accident.
On Friday morning, just after 8 a.m., Green High School was placed on "modified lockdown" after a social media threat.
Inspector Bill Holland with the Summit County Sheriff's Office says a 17-year-old male student of Green High made threats and posted pictures students online. Holland said that the student claimed to be on the campus at the time the threat was made, thus prompting the lockdown. It wasn't until nearly two hours later, after the school was searched, that the student was found at an address nearby, not on school property. Inspector Holland was unable to comment whether or not that was the student's home.
A "modified lockdown" means the students were not locked in classrooms, and essentially, the day went on as normal. The lockdown was lifted just before 10 a.m.
Holland told 1590 WAKR that while the threats were not specific, charges are pending against the teenager.
The family of Anthony Jones, 36, along with the Akron Organizing Collaborative community group, is planning a vigil Friday night outside of the Summit County Jail.
Jones, who was an inmate in the jail, died on September 2nd after an altercation with two Summit County Sheriff's Deputies inside the jail. And investigation into his death is ongoing, but his family is calling for justice and accountability from the Sheriff's Office. The family says that deputies and jail employees need more racial sensitivity training and training in dealing with inmates who suffer from mental illness.
Jones's family says that he suffered from mental illness.
The vigil is scheduled for Friday at 5 p.m.
An Akron woman is charged with theft after Summit County Sheriff's Office detectives were tipped off that she was pocketing donations to a victim's charity fund.
Back in July, Inspector Bill Holland says the third party manager of the "Walking For You" charity fund notified his office that something wasn't right with the money. The fund was set up to help the families of the victims of the May 28th accident along South Main Street in Coventry Township that left two teenagers dead and seriously injured another. Natasha Boggs, 24, of New Franklin, was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts involuntary manslaughter, and more, after investigators say she was texting while driving and cross over the marked lines along South Main Street, hitting the group of teens.
After an investigation into the charity fund, Summit Co. Detectives discovered that Melissa Szentes, 40, of Akron, who was volunteering with the "Walking For You" campaign, was taking donations and using them for her own personal gain.
Inspector Holland says that she is currently charged with theft, but more charges are possible, as they aren't sure how much money was actually stolen. The Summit County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone who may have donated to Szentes directly to call their office so that they can determine the total amount stolen.
Szentes hasn't been booked yet, as more charges are pending.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fatal accident that happened in the City of Green Sunday evening.
According to the report, a 2017 Suzuki Gladius motorcycle was traveling southbound on South Main Street when a 1999 Ford Escort, heading northbound, attempted to make a left turn into a home along South Main Street. The Escort crossed traffic and the motorcycle collided with it, launching the rider off of the bike. The 20-year-old rider ended up nearly 50 feet from the original accident spot. His bike landed in northbound traffic along South Main, where another driver ran into it.
The motorcyclist was transported by the Green Fire Department to Akron City Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The 22-year-old female driver of the Escort suffered minor injuries on the scene. The other driver was unharmed.
No charges have been filed yet and it is unclear whether speed, alcohol, or other drugs factored into the crash. It remains under investigation.
Two 14-year-old girls were killed, and a 15-year-old boy injured, when a car hit them along South Main Street in Coventry Township Sunday afternoon.
According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office report, the 24-year-old female driver was traveling down South Main near Leicester Drive about 4:45 p.m. Sunday. The driver from New Franklin, who was not named in the report, drove her 1999 Ford Escort over the fog line and hit the three kids who were playing in or near the South Main Street. One teen girl from Akron was pronounced dead on the scene and the other 14-year-old girl, from Coventry Township, was transported to Akron General Hospital where she later died. The 15-year-old boy was also transported to Akron General where he is still listed in critical condition.
The driver has not been charged, but Inspector Bill Holland with the Summit County Sheriff's Office says charges are pending after the investigation is complete.
All three students were reportedly students at Coventry Middle School. The young girls who were killed were preparing for graduation that was scheduled for Tuesday. The graduation has been canceled, though school is in session on Tuesday. Coventry Local Schools Superintendent Rusty Chaboudy says the district's "crisis team" has been deployed to the middle school. Chaboudy tells us several counselors are on campus for students and for teachers as well.
Former City of Green Little League President Tim McCloud has been arrested, charged with theft and money laundering dating back to the time he held the office.
According to a press release from the Sheriff's Office, the president who took over when McCloud left his role noticed about $10,000 missing from an account linked to the little league program. Upon further investigation, Inspector Bill Holland with the Sheriff's Office says they found a total of $27,000 that was unaccounted for. That investigation lead right to McCloud, who had set up a new account while in office. That account combined league fees and donations with some of McCloud's personal funds. It was discovered that McCloud was using those funds for personal expenses.
McCloud's been booked in Summit County Jail on two felony charges of Theft and Money Laundering.

Events like the killing of a Knox County police officer are shaping officer training in this area.
The Summit County Sheriff's Department is holding ambush training sessions this week.
"The guys out here (at the training session) got together and started reading about nationwide incidents", Sheriff Steve Barry tells WAKR's Jasen Sokol, "and felt it was definitely necessary to put our people through scenario based training, and they've done a terrific job".
Sheriff Barry says deputies are being trained in scenarios shaped by other incidents, like the Knox County officer killing.
He says he's been through incidents himself, like when he thought a fellow officer was calling out to him...and it turned out to be a suspect who jumped him.
Deputies here say it's not just about making sure they're aware of the situation around them, but it's also about helping keep the public safe.

A keyboard is a musical instrument which consists of a set of keys. The keys are grouped in larger, longer and smaller keys, and they repeat at the interval of an octave. When a key is pressed on the keyboard, one of the following processes may happen: a hammer mechanically strikes a string, plucks a string, strikes a bell, or opens a valve to let air flow through a pipe. This way, a sound is produced from the instrument.
The most commonly used keyboard instrument is the piano, that is the reason the keyboard is often referred to as the 'piano keyboard'. The notes are organised in naturals, also called white notes, which form the main body of the instrument, and sharps and flats, called black notes, which are placed into the upper half of the naturals.
There are some keyboards that have two rows of keyboards, one placed above the other, and referred to as the lower and upper manual. Among this type of instruments we can mention pipe organs, Hammond organ and some harpsichords.
Different techniques are required to play different types of keyboard instruments. With a piano, a louder note is produced when the key is struck harder and faster, and a softer note when the key is pressed gently and lightly. In contrast, the mechanism used in a harpsichord, does not affect the volume of the note with different touch on the keyboard.
There are many famous keyboardists in pop, rock and jazz music. Many musical bands, such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Moody Blues, are known for using keyboards in their music. Billy Ritchie was the first keyboard player that took a lead role in a rock band, replacing guitar. Then, other musicians like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson, began using this instrument.
At Varsity music we provide a great range of new and used keyboards available to buy online. Different types of Casio keyboards are available in our store. They are the best on the market and serviced by our trained musicians.

Jenny broke her leg yesterday.
It was one of those times while playing - what kids do best - that it happened. An innocuous spill from her toboggan forced her to land heavily upon her right foot, causing the lower part of her tibia, where it meets the ankle, to chip. Luckily there was little pain, but swelling and discomfort prompted her to have it checked out.
Smart girl! After reading the x-ray, her doctor immediately booked Jenny into surgery for early this morning in Cranbrook. The surgeon was able to push the chipped piece of bone back into position and hold it there with two pins.
The pins will need to be removed after several weeks, but non-surgically. The doctor will simply have to draw them out - no anaesthesia needed and no pain. Surgery now is so much less invasive than in the past - she has no incision nor any sutures.
Jenny was brave, the procedure went well and she is now resting in relative comfort ...the lower part of her right leg encased in a large, white plaster cast with her wee toes sticking out the end.
Get well soon, Jenny Benny!

...and the cat came back
Eleven years ago he adopted us and our little house down by the lake.
We don't know where he came from - he simply followed Beth home one day.
Starved and lonely, he made himself at home upside down in front of the fire.
We named him Gwendolyn, after a character in a book about a stray cat named Scat, who eventually found a home and was renamed.
Then we discovered he was a he...
When I moved out of the little house by the lake into the big house overlooking the lake, I brought Scat with me.
Scat would have none of it, and returned time after time to the little house.
We realised that was Scat's home, so there he stayed.
Until now.
One afternoon a short while ago, Beth came to visit and asked if I would take Scat to live here once more.
I laughed and said no, we already have two cats and a dog!
And Eugene is not really an animal-lover.
Several days later, Bobby and Jenny began to plead with me to take Scat.
He is over twelve years old and began having accidents in the little house once the weather turned, and that did not go over well at all.
He didn't have a litter box in which to go, and he was loathe to do his business outside once the days drew shorter and the weather colder.
My heart went out to both Scat and the kids.
Well, I had to ask Gene the big favour - and he said yes!
He might not have as large a fondness for animals as I, but he does have a heart of gold.
Scat has been here for two weeks now and he has settled in quite nicely.
He and Tnu have playtime daily.
Smoke, who is at least eighteen years old and still going strong, pointedly ignores Scat, but I know he secretly likes the big orange guy.
Our dog, Tucker, loves all the cats, and I have an idea she thinks she's a feline of the canine variety.
Scat loves dogs.
I have been keeping Scat in the house for obvious reasons, but he escaped the other day, only to be rescued by Beth from his old haunt.
Today, when I experimentally opened the door to let him out, he poked his head outside, then turned tail and dove back into the warmth of the house.
Welcome home Scat!

Well, lo and behold, it's finally snowing.
There's only about half an inch on the ground - it's a start...
At least I feel more like decorating the house today.
The Christmas songs are playing on the stereo, the sky is overcast, flakes are falling and we are getting ready to begin cooking breakfast - eggs benedict, bacon and mandarine oranges.
The three cats and the dog are fed and I've my morning coffee beside me.
All is good.

Who I Am
I was born In The City at a time when My Generation was that of the post-war baby boomer.
For some reason that I Can't Explain, my Daddy Rolling Stone and my Mum, Barbara Anne, decided to name me Dale (and not Call Me Lightning).
Because of my name, everyone assumes I'm A Boy.
But, I have a Girl's Eyes and I can never think back to When I Was A Boy.
Maybe I was supposed to be a Substitute for Little Billy, but I've always had a Faith In Something Bigger, even though sometimes I Don't Even Know Myself.
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere, my life has been a Pure and Easy Success Story with a touch of Heaven and Hell thrown in.
It's Hard at times, However Much I Booze, but no matter how many Disguises I've worn, I Can See For Miles because I view The Real Me from Behind Blue Eyes.
I Dig horses and Dogs 2.
I've always wanted a Tattoo.
And a Jaguar.
When I was a child, I longed to attend Tommy's Holiday Camp, but my folks enrolled me at a holiday camp where I got the Summertime Blues and felt So Sad About Us because some of my friends Drowned in the Water.
Everyone said Cry If You Want, but One Life's Enough and, even though I've Known No War, this made me think of How Many Friends I've had.
As a teen, Dreaming From The Waist helped me Imagine A Man wearing Blue, Red and Grey.
My friends, They Were All In Love, but to me, it was just a Trick Of The Light and I kept thinking Don't Let Go The Coat.
When I did leave the Eminence Front, I thought, "I've Had Enough!" and I felt like a Helpless Dancer floundering on the Sea And The Sand.
Did I end up with the Dirty Jobs? You Better You Better You Bet!
I discovered Now I'm A Farmer.
To the Naked Eye my life was a Postcard, but I felt that it was La La La Lies.
But, I wasn't to be left Out In The Street and, even though I thought it was Much Too Much and The Good's Gone, I made a Bargain with myself and decided to Glow Girl!
I met a Whiskey Man.
We had an Instant Party.
My Wife, he said.
I Need You. Please Please Please. Don't Look Away. See My Way.
Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting).
A Quick One While He's Away.
Tell me It's Not True!
It's a Legal Matter now.
The Song Is Over - and I hope The Kids Are Alright.
My life was in Fragments and I felt like the Unholy Trinity, where I'm The Face in the Mirror Door asking, "Who Are You?".
I saw a Fortune Teller who told me to Put The Money Down before she said Too Much Of Anything, then went on to say that I have been on an Amazing Journey where I have been The Seeker In The Ether and that Love Ain't For Keepin'.
Now is the time to Join Together, Pick Up The Peace, Cut My Hair, Smash The Mirror, and light my life on Fire!
I'm Free.
It could be Dangerous, but I'll take the days One At A Time, all the while knowing I'm One, A Man Is A Man, and for The Last Time, I Won't Get Fooled Again.
Occasionally, when I feel the Melancholia return, I Don't Mind - I just think of the beautiful Sunrise and Relax.
The kids are alright.
He wears blue, red and grey.
And I glow, girl!

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt down, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae (1872-1918)

Cougar Alert
A few days ago she was out walking with a couple of her friends with their two dogs. One of the dogs was on a leash and the other running free alongside. Unbeknownst to all of them, they were being tracked by a cougar - also known as a mountain lion or puma.
It ran up silently from behind and went straight for the dog on the leash, but when the other smaller dog bolted, the cougar went after it. The cat had it in its powerful jaws in seconds flat! Poor little Otis didn't stand a chance. The three adult women let out blood-curdling screams and the big cat didn't turn a hair.
The conservation officer was notified who, in turn, hired the skill of our local cougar tracker and his dogs. They had the cat treed in no time and the poor thing, who was only trying to survive, was quickly dispatched with a bullet.
Beth was quite distraught about the death of the cougar and I have mixed feelings, as well.
Could it have maybe been relocated?
Probably not. It would have returned to its regular hunting territory and continued to hunt the easy domestic prey.
I have been driving the children to and from school, as well. The location of the attack is right on their school route. Beth had seen the cougar last weekend at the cemetery and was frightened, even though she was inside her own vehicle. The cat was BIG.
Apparently there are still a couple of cougars passing through the area, as they do every Fall. The bears are quite active this time of year, as well. They come down into the valley from the high country to forage and stock up on fruit from the abundant trees and berry bushes to prepare for winter hibernation.
Like any animal, we protect our own and fight back when threatened. Where we lack body mass, strength and agility to fight a large carnivour, we make up with intelligence and use that with which to strike back.
We live in a part of the world where we have to share the land with many other animals - some docile and some downright dangerous.
We have to respect that.

From North to South
After removing the back seat and loading the van from floor to ceiling with duffel bags, coolers, food bins, cooking and eating utensils, camping and sleeping gear and other paraphernalia (eg. bear spray...), we nosed our vehicle south toward the United States.
We approached the border with our fingers crossed, hoping our carefully packed food would not be confiscated, as we were not sure of what we could or could not take into the States. I had made a detailed list with everything carefully documented and, armed with that, we declared our possessions at the gate and politely answered the requisite questions. The customs officer smiled and waved us through, but not without an additional query as to what would possess us to leave our own beautiful valley to visit Idaho.
Well... we have to holiday somewhere!
We spent three nights there in our cosy tent in the forest by the water.
Tsk-tsk, we know better...

It Was a Scream
Without being too obvious about it, I made sure that we began with the more innocuous rides, such as the bumper cars, spinning strawberries and tilt-a-whirl, but those rides eventually drew us closer and closer to the Corkscrew...gulp. I had conflicting desires about riding a roller coaster - let alone one that loops upside down! The kids got bounced about a bit in the restraints, but it really was quite fun!
The following attraction was a wet one on a tube that bobbed over a series of whitewater rapids through a canal. We then "spun dry" on a dizzying ride that held our bodies tight against its mesh walls using cetrifugal force - thirty feet in the air.
But, my mouth really went dry as we headed toward the inevitable Tremors, a large timber structure upon which galloped several brightly-coloured cars containing screaming occupants careening at unfathomable speeds - uphill and down.
I was committed.
And a ride it was!
I hung on for dear life as we rattled and plunged at one hundred kmph into, what I considered, a tiny black hole in the ground (don't try to tell me that was a tunnel...) then fighting to keep my head vertical as we pulled four G's on the way back up the next incline. All I could do was close my eyes and croak, "Oh Shit!" through clenched teeth as we screamed and clattered at breakneck speed through the next series of soaring summits and daunting drops into tiny black holes in the ground.
As for the rest of the weekend, it was spent dining, swimming and relaxing on the beach, all the while continuing to live on the edge by getting deliciously sunburned...

It's Amazing What They'll Do For Attention

On the Horizon
This fall I am going to take my Level I Ski Instructor course and I plan to teach for the local ski school over the winter! The head of the ski school has been encouraging me to do this for some time now, but I've had to wait until it was financially feasible. As well, I want to take my Level II in the spring.
I finally bought a new printer for my computer. My old one did not work with my new Vista (grrrr) program. Anything that I've wanted to print I've had to e-mail to Gene's computer and print from there. Not very convenient, but effective in the end.
We are also going to buy a really neat multi-compartment tent to go camping in. I was initially considering buying a truck and camper trailer, but, with my plans to teach skiing over the winter, we decided to take the less expensive route. Soon we will be pouring over all the outdoors catalogues then hitting the mountain parks.
When summer rolls around again, I'd like to do lawn and yard maintenance. Something nice and outdoorsey that requires more brawn than brain. After all, my brain could use a break...
And, on that note, I will leave off.
I have a cold glass of wine awaiting me on the deck before delving into making dinner.

I as I sit in my office, checking my blog, there is a mule deer doe across the road having her baby. I first noticed her as I was talking to Beth in her tent in the yard.
The deer caught my eye and I chuckled about the fact that she was having a pee in full view of us. She finished, then squatted a few more times. It was then, and after a closer look, that I realised she is in labour.
Good luck, Beautiful!
...it's quite amazing what we see going on in our neighbourhood...
It's been about three and a half hours and I can see her resting behind a tree, not ten feet from the edge of the road. Gene said she was standing up and looking much more relaxed, so her baby must be hidden in there somewhere, too. A couple of runners and quite a bit of traffic (holiday weekend) has gone by.
If I look closely, I can see her ear flicking back and forth between the grasses...
...she is only a stone's throw from my window...
Happy Birthday
In honour of Canada turning 141 years old on 1st July, the Town of Invermere put on a spectacular fireworks display last midnight.
This has been an on-going tradition for the past 15 years or so and the show has become greater over time. I remember when it was nothing but a short, small sprinkle over the lake!
This video is a sample of what we saw from James Chabot Provincial Park and Beach. If you'll notice the string of lights on the left of the frame - that is the flotilla of boats from all over the lake that arrived to grab a front row seat to the event.
As well, we have a good friend who also celebrated his birthday on the water!
Happy Birthday, Koos!

Freedom to Speak Freely
Well, it's a wrap.
The scavenging ravens still hunger for the osprey's kill.
The cats are as grey as the house - funny, I always seem to find pets that match the decor. Maybe that's why I find myself in a pinch when attempting to paint the walls.
My favourite summer edition of the Sears Catalogue went missing - I found it wedged, (and quite soggy) beneath one of the tents on the back lawn - and to think it was thick and weighed enough to begin with.
The eggs in the upstairs fridge went bad.
Bob has gone back to his Dad's.
There is a giant wasp buzzing and worrying at the window behind me - the door is open at the other end of the porch. Is that how it got in or how it will let itself out?
My hero, Gandalf, is now recovering from being Grey and in the process of becoming White...once more.
As a point, my storybook Trio of Heros are Gandalf, Merlin and Captain Picard. Always wise, yet they still retain their humanity - not above being swept up by dark forces beyond their control, and still, they manage to cling to Good...selflessly.
Good is God with one more o.
The plants need watering.
The ants are trying to take over - again.
The sprinkler needs moving.
We fetched water this afternoon and discovered a bear - terrified and stumped at the same time.
I bought new dishes today! To replace the broken crockery - Delphine has taken human form - or maybe always has.
There will be a plethora of fruit this Autumn - the blossoms bent the bows this spring.
Beth got her first car - a 1996 Mercury Topaz - be Responsible, my Sweetie.
And yes... I still call her Sweetie.

My head's not in it, yet there is so much happening - or rather, waiting to happen. It's like the saying goes, "Hurry up and wait!" Well, I've hurried and now I sit and wait...
Thank goodness for work, as it keeps my hands and head occupied when otherwise I might go stir crazy. My days are like the weather - hot, cold, windy, calm, wet, dry, up, down...
Oh, how I look forward to my days being sunny-side-up!

Sunshine, Skiing and Sleep-Overs
Skiing at Sunshine Village in the Alberta Rockies. It was fun although the weather was cloudy and somewhat rainy...at Sunshine.
Our little cabin in the woods. On the way home we did a spur-of-the-moment stop in the park and decided to spend the night at Kootenay Park Lodge.
This is a peek through the door of our cabin. The weather was just cool enough for us to be comfortable after lighting a cosy fire in the fireplace.
And this is the view that greeted us in the morning from the porch of our humble abode.

No More Tummy Aches
On Tuesday we had to rush Bob to Cranbrook for an emergency appendectomy.
The operation went smoothly and they removed his appendix before it ruptured - any later and it may have been more serious.
Bob is home now, resting and doing fine.
The patent's biggest complaint...he can no longer use appendicitis as an excuse to stay home from school!

Alas, it is tax time and my days are taken up with getting others', as well as my own, taxes in order. I am working full-time during the day at my regular work and during the evening I have to get all my other business done. Not to mention those little things about the house that would rather pile up than disappear.
So, until things slow down a bit, I'll keeping swimming through this sea of paper work and I look forward to seeing you all on the opposite shore!
...hell hath no fury like the tax man scorned.

"Take the Lake"
It's our seasonal highway across the frozen lake.
Not only a quick, as-the-crow-flies route to town, the byway is also peppered with a variety of quaint (and not-so-quaint) ice fishing shacks. As well, it is not uncommon to see entire families out picnicking, young ones in tow - literally. There are always toboggans loaded with laughter being pulled behind all terrain vehicles and snow mobiles. Barbeques, bonfires and woodstoves abound - it's cold out there! On the weekends the ice surface becomes a veritable midwinter playground.
Organised events are also numerous. January hails the annual Curling Bonspeil on the Ice and, in February, there are the Ice Fishing Derby and Snow Golf Tournament. Try finding a golf ball in the snow...
Then there's the unexpected. One evening, as I was heading home and preparing to launch onto the ice road, I waited at an intersection as a snowboarder, roped to a half-ton truck, crossed the intersection. Apparently, the fun continues beyond the shoreline.
That all being said, the ice highway does have its follies.
Springs and open water have taken their share of victims over past winters. Therefore, it's a good idea to stick to the road, rather than strying to far from its track.
The local hockey team does a fund-raiser each year by doing an "Ice-Out" lottery. Everyone who purchases a ticket has a chance to make a guess as to when the ice will be gone off the lake. Every year it happens in a varying ways and on a different date - all dependent upon the weather.
My guess is that we will be able to take the lake for at least another three weeks.

What I Did on my Winter Birthday...
Yes, this is me skiing - not some young hotshot racer...
Here I am, working on some turns on a run called Schober's Dream. It was a lovely, not-too-cold, but snowy day at the hill.
I have dreams, too...

"Don't Mess With Mum"
with a smirk upon their face.
They decided they were smart enough
To put me in my place.
Guess what we learned in a class today
that's taught by Mr. White?
It's all about the laws today-
The Children's Bill of Rights.
It says we need not clean our room,
don't have to cut our hair.
No one can tell us what to think or speak,
or what we have to wear.
We have freedom from religion
and, regardless what you say,
we don't ever have to bow our head,
and sure don't have to pray.
We can wear earrings if we want
and pierce our tongue and nose.
We can read and watch just what we like
and get tattoos head to toes.
And, if you ever spank us,
we'll charge you with a crime.
We'll back up all our charges
with the marks on our behind.
Don't you ever touch us-
our body's for our own use.
Not for your hugs and kisses-
thats just more child abuse.
Don't preach about your morals
like your Mum did to you.
That's nothing more than mind control
and that's illegal, too.
Mum, we have these children's rights,
so you can't influence us.
Or we'll call local Family Services
and we'll make a great big fuss...
I mulled it over carefully-
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept upon my face-
they're messing with a pro.
The next day I took them shopping
at the local goodwill store.
I told them pick out all you want,
there's shirts and pants galore.
I checked with Family Services,
and they said they didn't care
if I bought you K-Mart shoes
instead of those Nike Air.
I've cancelled that appointment
to take your driver's test.
Family Services is unconcerned,
so I'll decide what's best.
I said, no time to stop and eat
or pick up stuff to munch.
Tomorrow you can start to learn
to make your own sack lunch.
Just save the raging appetite
and wait till dinner time.
We're having liver and fried onions-
a favourite dish of mine.
The asked if they can rent a movie
to watch on their VCR.
Sorry, but I sold your TV
for new tires on my car.
I also rented out your rooms
to paying folk instead.
All that Family Services requires
is a roof above your head.
Your clothing won't be trendy now
and I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that you used to get
will buy me something neat.
I'm selling off your fancy toys-
your imagination will help you play.
And check out The Parents' Bill of Rights.
It's in effect today!

She is a direct result of my being bothered by stress and bad dreams. One night, after awaking from a disturbing nightmare, I was fearful of closing my eyes again.
I then made the conscious decision to have a good dream once I fell back to sleep...
Hence, Delphine was born - my most definitely grey baby elephant. She was so delightfully bursting with silly antics, that I fell into an uncontrollable fit of laughter in my sleep, vowing to write about her on my blog...

Catch Up Tag
And, I might add, it's been quite nice being out of computer range over the past few weeks.
I've just now ventured back for a quick peak, and it's also quite nice reading everyones' Holiday Greetings and Wishes.
Thank You all very much!
So, I reach back and Tag...
1. My favourite gift as a child - a brand, new pair of leather lace-up ski boots (with an inner boot, no less) at the age of seven. I spent the entire day wearing them, all the while tromping and clomping about the house...go figure.
2. My best gift as an adult - being able to enjoy the Christmas Season with the same zest and zeal as I did as a youngster!
3. The gift I always wished for was a horse. Every year I would ask Santa Claus for an equine friend, even in my adult years. But then, maybe I did get that wish vicariously. After all, Red will be twenty-nine this spring!
4. My favourite part about Christmas dinner is the great company, wonderful food and warmth by the fire - I know that's three things, but together they make for a magical meal!
5. As far as movies go, it's The Nightmare Before Christmas - hands down! The music is superb.
6. Shameful indulgence? Hot Monte Christo's before noon!

Kate Osamor MP, Labour's Shadow International Development Secretary, responding to Priti Patel's plans to abandon the 0.7% aid commitment, said:
"Priti Patel has let the cat out of the bag with her comments that she trying to abandon her Government's promise give 0.7% of UK GDP for international aid. The Prime Minister must immediately make clear that she has no intention of breaking her party's legal obligation and their manifesto commitment to provide 0.7% to international aid.
"Either Priti Patel makes clear that she will support and fully implement the 0.7% commitment or the Prime Minister must pull her into line.
"UK aid helps tens of thousands of the poorest people around the world, it has universal cross party support in Parliament, and the UK public overwhelming backs it."

text: Hey I dunno if this has been covered before, but they do make MIJ Kingston microSD now. I saw them with my own eyes at fry's electronics. They're going for $39.99 which is ok if you need to have all 2 gig in one chip, but bad if you look at the deals we've been getting on 512 and 1gb MIJ chips. I'm going to have to take a look around and see what I can find, if this was $19.99 that'd be a good deal.

well, youcould illegally download pdfs, convert them to jpgs, and then convert them to cbds, or you could search around the web for a site that has them preconverted
I doubt there is a site with them pre-converted...
just use the converter that comes with it

Cisco Systems said it has commercially introduced a switch that can route trading messages through its circuitry and back out onto a wire in under one microsecond.
Cisco, whose gear is used by the Nasdaq OMX Group and other exchange operators, said its Nexus 3016 switch can get the last number or letter of a 1,024-character message onto a wire in 1.17 microseconds, or millionths of a second. The last number or letter of a 256-character message makes it onto the wire in 950 nanoseconds, or billionths of a second.
The switch is Cisco's first in a series that now can move data at the rate of 40 billion bits a second. That is a four-fold leap from the previous standard of 10 billion bits a second.
In 10-gigabit gear, the 1,024-character message would take 2.21 microseconds to pass the first and last character through. That is just more than two millionths of a second – but a measurable delay in electronic markets where traders are constantly looking for microsecond advantages.
"This is extremely relevant to high-frequency trading,'' said Pramod Srivatsa, product line manager at Cisco.
The Nexus 3000 line is aimed directly at trading firms that send out orders that they expect to fill or cancel in fractions of a second, Cisco said.
In July, Nasdaq OMX Group said it would install Nexus 5000 switches and Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders at its high-performance options trading exchange, PHLX.
The exchange operator, which runs the Nasdaq Stock Market, the PSX exchange and other markets, declined to comment on whether it had plans to install the 3000 series at any of its venues. Nasdaq markets execute one out of every 10 transactions, around the world.
The nanosecond speeds are achieved by divvying up trading messages into four parts, sending each simultaneously onto wires that are specially constructed to handle four 10-gigabit streams of data at the same time, said Srivatsa. Each cable has four pairs of 'send' and 'receive' wires operating at the 10-gigabit per second rate.
The messages subsequently are reassembled and executed.
The parallel operations use a process of "serializing" and "deserializing" the data to achieve the fast throughput, Srivatsa said. Even a gain of 340 nanoseconds "is a significant delta,'' he said, for high-speed trading.
The Nexus 3000 series also incorporates a system for monitoring where the transmission of data hits bumps. The "dynamic buffering utilization monitor'' helps firms identify and then remove nanosecond bottlenecks.

ABASM: We Came for the Science and Stayed for the free T-shirt
This past weekend, several Juniata students had the opportunity to present their research at the Allegheny Branch of the American Society of Microbiology's yearly conference. As a bonus the meeting was held right here at Juniata in the von Liebig Center for Science. The conference took place over the course of roughly thirty-six hours starting from early afternoon on Friday and ending early evening on Saturday. Over the course of those thirty-six hours students from nineteen institutions, both graduate and undergraduate, had the opportunity to learn about a diverse range of topics from distinguished speakers and from one another. There were several unique presentations over the two-day period. The first was a self-mentorship workshop where the speaker guided us through introspective searches into our deepest desires and goals which we later used to help craft a personal mission statement. The next day we participated in a workshop given by a Juniata alumnus that now works at Ecovative, a company that produces biodegradable packaging products with fungus. We even got to take some samples home with us! To close out the conference Juniata's very own Dr. Belle Tuten, a history professor that specializes in medieval medicine, gave a talk on the methods by which doctors in medieval times used to treat wounds. The subject matter, which was quite humorous by itself, was made even more so by Dr. Tuten delivering her speech as if the medical practices of the past were perfectly reasonable methods for treating diseases.
While the workshops and speaker sessions were fun and educational, nothing compared to the student presentations. Although I presented this summer at the Landmark Conference at Susquehanna University, presenting at an actual society meeting had a much more significant feel to it. Sharing my hard work with a room full of people who were just as big or bigger science nerds than me was phenomenal and then being able to sit back down and learn about all the other awesome projects students were working on was just as exhilarating. This conference further affirmed by desire to go into research when I graduate from Juniata this May. I learned so many new things about tools like CRISPR and about how viruses affect fetal brain development, to cover just a few things. This conference increased my thirst for knowledge and understanding about the scientific world and made me that much more excited about graduate school next year.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the constant support and mentoring by Dr. Regina Lamendella and Justin Wright and their lab. Without them I highly doubt that our lab would have done so well at the conference, and many of us that presented wouldn't have had as high quality research to present on without their connections and collaborations. There are many labs that conduct undergraduate research on campus. Students can do research in almost every department on campus, and many students present this research at local, regional and national conferences, including the National Conference on Undergraduate Research and our very own Liberal Arts Symposium which we host every Spring.
From my experience, albeit limited, Juniata has one of the best programs for undergraduate research. Everyone is encouraged to participate and you can get involved as early as your freshmen year. All it takes is a little initiative, drive to succeed and no small amount of curiosity on your part. Even if you don't think you'll like research, I still encourage you to participate. You might find, like me, that you love research and the amazing sense of discovery that comes with it, and find it much more satisfying than being a doctor. Or you might not. It is better to try and not like it, then never try and miss out on an amazing opportunity. Not only that but if you do want to go to med school it looks good if you have done research.
I leave you with this: Research can be difficult. There are days where you will want to pull your hair out because your line of code just isn't working or your organic reaction has failed for the twentieth time. If you get nothing else out of research, you will at least learn the ability to fail. Yes, the ability to fail. It is an art, one that I am still mastering. Sure, succeeding at everything you do feels great, but you don't really learn anything from it. Failing teaches perseverance and creativity. Believe me, you do a lot of failing when you first start researching. You learn as you go and slowly, you improve. The quality of your work gets better as does the understanding of your project, and for me, my desire to learn more about what I was researching also increased. It is quite a journey but there is no better place to undertake that journey than Juniata.
Advice on Advisors
When I decided to come to Juniata, I did so without visiting. I came because of the stories an alumnus told me and from the conversations I had with students who were already here and my fellow incoming freshmen. I arrived having no idea what the campus looked like or what the classes would be like and to be honest I was scared. For the first week or so I didn't have an appetite because I was so nervous.
I was still nervous as I sat outside my new adviser's office waiting to talk about my schedule and what my life would be like over the next four years. As I sat outside the office of Dr. Dan Dries I listened to his voice as he was talking to another of his new advisees. It's hard to explain, and maybe harder to imagine, but his voice had a carefree lilt to it. His words were often interspersed with laughter and slowly my nervousness turned into curiosity. If he was as jovial as he sounded the next four years were going to be great.
Thankfully, he was. One of Juniata's strongest and most beneficial programs is its academic advising. We had advisers at my high school and they did a good job helping students pick classes and encouraging us to apply to college, but Juniata's adviser's work much harder. Dr. Dries has not only advised me on the classes I should take for my POE but he has given me advice on whether I should attend Graduate or Medical school and where I might start looking for a good Graduate program. This past year I even started working in his lab which does research on neurodegenerative disorders, the area of neuroscience I want to research. He even invited me over for Thanksgiving when I had nowhere else to go. Over the three years I have known Dr. Dries he has remained supportive and enthusiastic about my coursework and my success.
I wrote about Ellen Campbell several weeks ago and just like her, Dr. Dries is not an isolated case at Juniata. Professors from all departments are highly involved in their student's lives, inviting them over for club dinners, having them house sit and even baby sit. Juniata's students are as close with their professors as they are with one another and I think that is one of the most unique things Juniata offers. The student to staff ratio of thirteen to one is not just a statistic it represents one of Juniata's defining characteristics, our community.
Finding Your Fit
Like many students who transfer, Jamie Mistretta '17, from Philadelphia, Pa., was struggling to find an engaging environment at her previous college, which led to a phone call with an admission counselor at Juniata. "I didn't feel academically challenged, so I knew I wanted to attend a school where academics are a priority, and find a place where I could really get to know other students and professors," says Jamie. Her phone call allowed her to meet an alum of the College and gain a really authentic understanding of the Juniata community.
After visiting Juniata, Jamie reflected on how easy and important it can be to design your own Program of Emphasis (POE). At Juniata, Jamie is able to take classes in a pre-designated POE program and then take specific courses that allow her to re-define her degree program. "It is great to have the option to study what I want to study and create my own personal POE," says Jamie. She didn't lose any time by transferring, as nearly every credit transferred to Juniata. She is currently pursuing a PreK– 4th grade education POE, but she is also interested in speech pathology.
In addition to finding her academic transition easy, Jamie also quickly adapted to a new social atmosphere on campus and in the Huntingdon community. "It was really important for me to go to a school where I could have great relationships with students that did not only revolve around studying," says Jamie.
Juniata encourages students to interact with classmates through at least one of more than 100 campus clubs. She is currently an active member of Amigos de Guanin, a club that raises awareness and hosts fundraisers for people in Guanin, Dominican Republic, and she is a member of concert choir.
According to Jamie, the key to transferring is acknowledging what aspects you truly need out of your education. Transferring to a different college can be stressful, but phone calls and visits can really allow you to share some of your concerns and interests to achieve a more satisfying college education.
"Don't hesitate, always apply," Jamie says. "Applying gives you options and opportunities to find the qualities you want in a college experience."

Staying FIT in College
You've probably all been warned of the infamous "Freshman 15"—the inevitable 15 pounds that you gain during your freshman year of college. Although this might be true for some people, I'm here to tell you that this does not have to be your fate! If you make proper meal choices and exercise regularly, you'll have nothing to worry about!
For my first two years at Juniata, I was a member of the track and field team, so I didn't have to worry much about creating my own workout schedule. My daily exercise routines were mapped out by my coaches. Due to a change in my priorities, I decided that being on the track team was no longer for me. This meant that I had to come up with my own workout schedule, if I wanted to stay fit.
Inevitably, I gained a few pounds from not having as rigorous of a workout routine as before, but I also started to get bored of my same uncreative workouts. Ultimately, I needed some more motivation.
Thankfully, I found out about FITLAB, which is a workout program offered every weekday morning at 8:00 am by Neal Utterback, assistant professor of theater. The program was originally offered to only a small group of students who were training for an endurance obstacle race, but due to the high interest from other students, the program is now open to everyone. The workouts vary daily and include endurance exercises, circuit training, stairs, and yoga. Before beginning each workout, we have five minutes of silence followed by five minutes of mindful meditation.
For me, these workouts are truly a blessing. Since this is my last semester of college, I had been getting a little distracted and not focusing on my health as much as I could have been. Now, I am motivated by working out with a great group of supportive people.
Though I don't have my first class until later in the morning, I wake up every day at 7:20 am to get ready for FITLAB. I don't regret waking up early because after a good workout, I feel awake and alert throughout the rest of my day!
From 0 to 400 in One Semester
Because I'm a freshman, I'm expected to take the intro classes – the easy ones. However, this semester I decided to do something different. Back when I was signing up for classes, I decided to take a 400 level biology class called Environmental Toxicology.
Now, I don't know if you're familiar with how class levels work (honestly it still confuses me a little bit). Essentially, I decided to take a class designated for juniors or seniors who had taken more than the single biology class I had taken, and perhaps a chemistry class or two. Simply put, I was crazy, or at least that's what my friends told me. I was worried, but not too much because I had another freshman friend who would take it with me! Well, as it turned out, he had to drop the class, and so on the first day of classes I walked into Toxicology more than a little intimidated by what I had signed up for.
The class is taught by Dr. John Matter, who is one of the professors for the freshman biology class. I enjoyed his section of the course so much that I decided that I would take a class with him in the spring semester. As it turned out, the only class he taught that I could possibly take was Toxicology, and so I decided that would be my class. I had to do a few things first: get his permission, and my advisor's permission.
When I went to get Dr. Matter's signature, I was a little worried he would just say "no" with no debate to be had, and so I was pleasantly surprised when he smiled at me and said "sure!" He assured me that even though it might require some work, he thought I could handle the class. With this newfound confidence in myself, I went to my advisor's room to get her signature. She gave me a funny look and said, "Are you sure?" and then gave me her permission as well.
Walking into a room full of seniors and juniors on the first day of class was intimidating, but as it turned out, there were some faces I recognized. The first couple of classes went well, and I did not feel lost. Dr. Matter was hilarious as usual, and so I stayed in the class. It's week three, and I'm still (and hopefully will continue to be) enjoying myself.
The point of this story isn't that you should take Environmental Toxicology when you get here because it sounds easy, because it's not. The point isn't that Dr. Matter is a hilarious professor, even though that is true. The point is that throughout the whole process, nobody told me "no" or "you can't do this." Throughout the whole process of signing up for this course, I was the only one considering holding myself back. You can do anything once you get here, like take crazy classes or join all the clubs. You can do whatever you let yourself do, and that is the best thing I've encountered about being at Juniata.
The Burning Question
Dr. Hosler is one of my biology professors this semester. In his section of the class, we are learning about the finer points of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and currently about how surface area and gradients help plants or animals carry out their respective processes. He draws marvelous diagrams and has a way of explaining complicated and dynamic processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration so that the layman can understand exactly what is going on. He is a marvelous teacher and like any good teacher he asks us questions, and like good students… well most of the time we just sit there in silence.
That sentence should have ended, "we raise our hands high and proud to answer the question because we think we have a fairly good answer." But we don't, at least not often and definitely not all of us. Dr. Hosler pointed that out to us today in class. And it is not just us; professors from all departments at Juniata and at other schools have noticed a definite decline in people raising their hands to answer questions. Even back at my high school, it was the rare occasion when one of us would raise our hand to answer a question and it would always be the same set of people.
Why? What has changed so much on the student side of the learning process that we no longer feel the need, or want to ask questions? One of the many reasons I liked Juniata was the small class size because it is, quite simply, easier to learn when the teacher's attention isn't divided among a lot of students. Smaller class sizes allow for more teacher student interaction which also means more ability for a student to be able to voice their opinions in class. But as I have grown older, that has become less and less true.
From conversations I have had with friends and classmates, there are two big factors (probably more but these seem to be the most prominent) that affect how and when we choose to raise our hand. The first is the fear of being wrong. I think we have been trained over the course of our academic careers to fear bad grades and wrong answers because in our minds that is equal to failure and failure means not achieving your goals. But failure is not always bad. Unless you just inherently pick up on a subject, you will not know the answer the first time around. This is why we have professors: to be able to ask and answer questions. Learning is not always having the right answer; it's a process that uses practice to go from a relatively poor knowledge base in a subject, to a broader and more solid grasp on the material. The second factor is fear of being the "know-it-all" kid who always has an answer.
The know-it-all does not always have the right answer, and when they don't, the professor will correct them and open up the question to someone else to get a new perspective. Learning is a dynamic process, much like the processes I am learning about in Dr. Hosler's class. If only one plant cell carried out photosynthesis, that plant would not last very long because it just would not make enough glucose. But all the plant cells working in concert to produce glucose make a thriving plant. Similarly if there is only one student per class that answers questions, they are really the only ones getting the benefit out of it. Sure, they may ask about something you didn't understand, but in the end the class as a whole will do a lot better if everyone participated.
We come to places like Juniata to improve our minds, but also our person as a whole. Part of that is developing the critical thinking and social skills to voice your own thoughts on a question and to be able to back it up with supporting evidence. We will not always be right, because we don't know everything, but we will be better equipped to think about the right answer and how to approach questions like it in the future.
So raise those hands high, for even though you may not have the right answer, you will be better off for having answered.
Wrapping it Up
It's crazy to think that I only have three weeks left of my first year of college. It seems like just yesterday I was taking trip after trip back out to the car to move all of my stuff into the dorm. This year has definitely flown by! As my semester comes to a close, and this is my last post for the year, I'd like to recap some of my favorite things about my year at Juniata.
On-Campus Job
I applied for a job in the Admissions Office right off the bat when I arrived at Juniata, and did not have my hopes up since I was only a freshman. Shockingly, however, I got the job! I have had so much fun learning more about how the college admissions process works, and have met such wonderful people throughout the year. I've also learned how easy it is to find a job on campus. If you are in need of some cash, Career Services is an incredible place to start. There are so many jobs all over campus, in every field, so it doesn't matter what qualifications you have, you will definitely find something.
Cafés, Cafés and More Cafés!
If you know anything about me, you'd know that I love cafés. I love the atmosphere, the coffee, and the creative recipes different places make. I love getting off campus, walking into town, and plopping down at a table with a cup of coffee, a scone and tons of homework. This week especially, since I will soon be returning home to Boston, I decided to visit all the different cafés in Huntingdon. Standing Stone, a popular spot, definitely has the best sandwiches and board games, which is a win-win for me! Stone Town Gallery, a café and art gallery, has the best scones and most interesting decor, and so much fun artwork and jewelry to look at and wish for! Wildflower Café, which I actually only visited for the first time today, has the sweetest staff, huge tables to do work, and deliciously strong coffee. When I first came to Juniata I was very hesitant about the small town and the limited number of places to eat, but I have fallen in love with the sweet shops throughout the town.
Visiting the Jail
When I tell people my college is near a prison, most people are shocked, or scared or confused. I had similar reactions when I first learned that too, but now it seems totally normal to me. Especially due to the fact that earlier this year I got to go inside the prison and talk to some of the prisoners. Last semester I took an Introduction to Criminal Justice course that included an opportunity to attend The Day of Responsibility over at SCI Huntingdon. A few of my classmates, my professor and I spent one day inside the prison, listening to different speakers talk about the effects of crime in communities, and even got to speak to different prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment. I was very surprised at how intelligent many of the prisoners were, and how funny, charismatic, and normal they were. The Day of Responsibility definitely challenged and changed some of my views on the criminal justice system, and I was incredibly lucky to have been a part of it.
Personal With Professors
One thing I wanted from college was a strong relationship with my professors. I have learned after this year that Juniata is the best place for that. All of my classes are small (my smallest class is six people), which really gives me the chance to develop a relationship with my professors. I often send an email to one of my professors, with a link to a video I found interesting and thought they might enjoy. I am never afraid to just pop into a professor's office to say hi, or to ask a question about an assignment, or anything like that. Even if I am struggling with something, my professors have always been there for me, and willing to help in whatever way they can. I really do feel understood and cared for by my professors here at Juniata, which is an incredible feeling.
Warm Weather = Fun on the Quad
As the weather begins to warm up, more and more people have started doing work outside on the quad, which makes me so happy! I always envisioned college to be people leaning against trees, reading books and listening to music while others play frisbee or volleyball nearby. Luckily, that is exactly what I got at Juniata. I've been taking my homework outside, and bringing a snack and a blanket in case the weather gets a little chilly, and just finding a spot in the grass to work for a few hours. It's always relaxing to work in the sunshine, and sometimes (more often than not) someone I know will walk by and sit with me for a while. I've even brought my guitar out and took jam session breaks in between studying. I love warm weather, and I love the atmosphere and energy of working outside with others.
There is so much more that happened this year than I can fit in one post, but I tried to capture some of the best things about going to school at Juniata. Although Juniata is a small school and far from home, I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend.
Staying Healthy at Juniata
One of the most important things to me is my well-being, and staying healthy throughout the year. Coming to college, I was a nervous about the rumoured Freshman 15, and the unhealthy food options many college dining halls have to offer. However, I was pleasantly surprised about the many different programs at Juniata to promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
The program I am most involved in on campus is Fit Lab, which is run through the Theatre Department. One of the theatre professors, Neal Utterback, works with students every weekday morning at 8:00 (early, I know!) to prepare for the Spartan Race, a 10 mile obstacle course race occurring each summer. Each day of the week is different exercises, and on Wednesdays we do a high-intensity yoga session (my favorite form of exercise!). Neal is a great motivator, and really strives to boost endurance and performance.
Another fitness option is Zumba. On Tuesdays and Thursdays there are classes held in the lounge of Terrace & Tussey (two of the dorms on campus) that are taught by students. The classes aren't too difficult, but will definitely make you sweat! If you've never tried Zumba before, these classes are a great place to dance with your friends while burning off the fries you might have had at dinner.
The most popular place to exercise on campus however, is the Fitness Center. Open every day of the week, it's the best place to pop in for a quick workout in the morning or before dinner (any time, actually!). Since we go to a small school, the gym is never too packed and there are always plenty of machines to use. There is also a separate room with mats and exercises balls for additional use. I personally like exercising with few people around, so I love going to the gym during the day if I have a break in between classes, when the gym is most empty.
There's many places I didn't mention (the pool, racquetball room, the outdoors, etc.) that are great for exercise or blowing off steam all over campus. College can definitely be a stressful place, balancing classes, social outings and fitting in time for yourself, so it is always important to find places to relax and stay healthy!
Writing Policy for the State Department – visiting U.S. State Department diplomat Scott Kohmel
After meeting Juniata alumni, Scott Kohmel in D.C. the previous year. I became very interested in joining the Foreign Service. Scott works for the U.S. State department and is the Vietnam desk. This is a four year job that he will soon leave to work at an embassy overseas. On his visit to Juniata he discussed how the State Department makes policy and how to write.
A very valuable piece of advice from Scott is that everything that happens in the State Department is based on writing. It is essential to improve your writing ability. The State Department looks for brevity, reading nothing over one double spaced page. Every sentence has to have a point, and it is best to write using as few as possible words. Professor of international politics, Emil Nagengast stated that in his experience students that couldn't write well also did not read a lot. I am neutral on Professor Nagengast's statement because I understand that reading does improve your writing syntax; however, struggling with grammar issues and spelling myself I do not believe that reading improves these issues.
As policy was described to me, I did not see much difference between it and some of the papers I write in my politics classes. To draft a policy you have to have an idea, research, and a valid argument that can be put into practice.
Another part of policy is conversation. Scott wanted to highlight that face to face communication is very important for creating a policy. You have to talk to someone in order establish and finalize a policy. This communication develops into negotiations, which are secretive in nature. Scott argues that negotiations should be secretive because the officials who make policy, especially policy with other nations need to be able to talk through the policy and come to a compromise. This compromise will not happen if the public and interest groups are watching and reacting to the negations. The negotiations are where the shaping of the policy is created and allowing these negotiations to be done in secret acts as a massive brain storm see if a win-win situation is achievable. It is important, however, to release the policy to the public in order to get public support. A policy is not very successful unless you have public support.
One thing that Scott stated that stuck with me that I am still trying to analysis is the statement "you cannot let your classes get in the way of your education." I will leave you to think about that statement as well.

Advising at Juniata College
As I was enjoying my Spring Break and talking to some friends from high school, I noticed that my friends at other colleges are having a drastically different college experience than I am. I don't mean that my friends don't get to experience Storming of the Arch or Mountain Day or Liberal Arts Symposium. I understand that different schools have different traditions, but one of my friends who attends a large university said something that I couldn't even fathom from my Juniata College mindset: he has never met his advisor face to face. Of course, this led to multiple problems with scheduling, internships, and degree requirements, but I couldn't get over the fact that while I see both of my advisors multiple times per week, he has yet to meet his.
When I returned to campus and talked to my friends here about this strange phenomenon, they were all as surprised as I was initially. Juniata runs on a dual advisor system, meaning that all students from their second semester onward have both an academic and a general advisor. The academic advisor is from the student's academic department, while the general advisor is a professor or faculty member from outside that department. Both my advisors are great; I've met with them (face to face) multiple times, had them for class, and received multiple letters of recommendation from both of them. With all that my advisors have done for me and how instrumental they've been in my college career, I was taken aback by a student one year ahead of me at another school saying that he doesn't even know what his advisor looks like. When I asked if he thought my advising situation was as strange as I thought his, he said that Juniata's advising actually sounded great.
I guess aspects of college like advising are sometimes overlooked or taken for granted. I've heard students say that getting both advisors' signatures on papers or forms is a bother, but I think that never seeing my advisor throughout my college career would be infinitely worse. The advising system at Juniata is a tad unusual in that it involves two advisors, but between my own personal experiences with my advisors and what my friends told me about advising at their schools, I am very grateful for the advising that I've received here at Juniata. I'll be sure to thank my advisors for their work the next time I see them!

My name is Marie Gina Fleurvil. I was born in Les Cayes, which is a city South of Haiti and I grew up in Port-au-Prince. I have received a degree in Social Work. Before coming to Brit's Home, I worked at General Hospital in Pediatrics and entertained the kids and parents to help relieve some of the stress they were dealing with. I played with the sick kids and made their families smile even when they were sad. A few months later, I worked in the city of Nippes in an orphanage as a social worker. During my stay in Nippes, I also worked as a part time Social Worker at Brit's Home in 2015. I remember my first day at Brit's Home as if it were yesterday; "Love at first sight". The kids came up to me and asked a lot of questions. I felt so much joy because they were happy to meet me and their warm welcome made me feel like I was a queen.
As the Social Worker at Brit's Home, my job is to assist the kids psychologically and assist them to function socially. I also make sure that by working with them as a team, their environment is functional to their needs. I observe and evaluate the children as a group and individually, making sure that they feel safe; listen to what they have to say, and I am always available for them. I prepare activities and training modules that empower them in their daily life. Many of them have suffered trauma in their past, and we are consistently working to help them grow in a loving environment, allowing them to be free spirited. I also pay very close attention with the day to day interactions between the kids and employees. My team also prepares training and meetings for the staff so that they too can have a better interaction with the children.
When I first came to Brit's Home, the children called me Madame, which is a title to show respect. After a while, I became Tatie Gi, Tatie Gina or Tatie Gigi which translates to Auntie Gina. The title of Auntie Gina spread and now everyone calls me by the same title. How can I not feel good being a part of this great family? There is always a story to make you laugh and the kids are my friends. They always have something to share with me to make me happy. One of the things that makes me happiest is when I hear them advise each other on what they learned during a training session and how they want to do better knowing that the change will be gradual and not happen overnight. The key to making our children well rounded is to always work consistently with love, patience, faith, appreciation of their good deeds/behavior and just sit back and see the results.
My dream was to always work in the social work environment because of my love for the youth. It was always my passion and I believe it was my mission. In Haiti, many children aren't allowed or given the right to express their feelings, emotions, and freedom depending on the area they come from. My love for children began early during my childhood. I always asked a lot of questions related to the social problems I witnessed in Haiti. As a little girl, I was very concerned about domestic issues, hunger, and violence. It never occurred to me that I would become a social worker because I thought that my love was for pediatrics in the medicine field.
I have great experiences with the kids and I learn a lot about them. I have been working at Brit's Home for two years now. This experience has increased my capacity to better understand the children's world, which is important to me. Even though having to work with 66 kids who are very different from each other is a challenge, it's also very enriching. By teaching and assisting the kids, we learn a lot about their innocence and spontaneity. They are the most honest to express their thoughts when they have the opportunity. My work at Brit's Home with the kids and staff allow me to better understand human beings in its disciplinary and multidimensional dimension in order to achieve a better result.
Being here at Brit's Home is not a chance, it was intended. That's why I engage myself day after day not only because I love my job, my kids, and I share the vision of raising the next generation of leaders in Haiti in Britney's memory.

Salt is salt, right? You go to the grocery store, grab a shaker off the shelf and you're good to go. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. These days you have salt options ranging everywhere from table salt to garlic salt and salt from the Pink Himayalans. But perhaps the most important thing to remember is to separate the unprocessed salt from the processed stuff. If you're having trouble with the distinction between the two, processed salt is usually much cheaper.
The Dangers Of Table Salt
If you've never paid much attention to salt, you probably pick up table salt whenever you're running low. But table salt can be toxic to your body. During processing, all of the valuable minerals in the salt are removed in order to make room for man-made additives, often in the form of bleaching, drying and anti-clumping agents. As a result, the levels of iodine left over in table salt after processing isn't enough to keep healthy levels in your system. The levels of iodine needed to overcome and iodine deficiency would require an unhealthy level of salt intake.
If you eat a lot of salty foods, you might notice that you also crave salty foods. A 2011 study found salt is addictive. The brain responds to salt similar to how it responds to substances such as heroin, cocaine and nicotine. Too much salt can be deadly. Consuming processed salts can lead to many health problems, including:
- Muscle cramps
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Arthritis
- Gallbladder Stones
- Kidney Stones
- Cellulite
- Rheumatism
- Digestion problems
A Healthier Alternative To Table Salt
Instead of table salt, look for a non-processed, natural salt the next time you go grocery shopping. Sea salt, mined from the sea, is a more natural form of salt that is higher in minerals than table salt. Icelandic Sea Salt has a wide range of trace minerals. Sea Salt does come with a small risk of contamination. If you're looking for the most natural, beneficial salt on Earth, search for Pink Himalayan Salt. It's mined from ancient salt beds in the Himalayan mountains. It contains over 84 trace minerals and elements including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron.

"This is a great marinade/tenderizer for cheaper cuts of roasts like chuck etc, it really does a wonderful job of tenderizing! Powdered meat tenderizer can be found in the spice section (I buy Club House powdered meat enderizer, it is sold in a 270-gram spice bottle). Plan ahead the roast needs to marinade overnight. Do not add any salt in with the marinade as it will effect the tenderizing process, salt the roast just before cooking. When ready to cook, make certain to leave the roast out for 1 hour at room temperature before cooking. This works good on pork roasts also. Cooking time is 24 hours marinating time."
