Newspapers are a unique and valued source of information for historical research. The National and state libraries in Australia have always recognised their importance and have worked together to collect, preserve and provide access to newspapers through the Australian Newspaper Plan. One of the most effective strategies to both preserve and make newspaper content more accessible is to digitise and maintain them for online access.
The National Library started the Australian Newspaper Digitisation Program in 2007. To date, more than 20 million pages of digitised newspapers can be accessed online through Trove, the National Library's online search service.These newspapers cover all states and territories and from the earliest published newspaper in 1803 to the mid 20th century. There are also a few newspapers in languages other than English. The digitised content is securely stored and will be managed into the future by the National Library. Libraries, historical societies, universities, businesses, local councils and other organisations are invited to contribute to this program, and assist with achieving the goal to provide permanent access to a wide range of newspaper titles.
Through these Guidelines the Library aims to:
provide information on how libraries and other organisations can contribute digitised newspaper content to Trove;
assist libraries and other institutions to plan their projects and prepare budget bids for digitisation of newspaper titles.
Why contribute?
Having newspapers digitised and accessed via Trove is the best way to ensure they reach a national audience. The coverage and quality of newspaper content and the innovative delivery and infrastructure supporting permanent access has already made Trove an indispensable national resource for historical research.
With more than 200 million articles from over 1000 newspaper titles from every Australian state and territory already delivered online, Trove provides online access to an unprecedented quantity and range of Australia's newspaper heritage.
On Trove, users can also easily find related information in a range of other formats such as books, pictures, maps and sound recordings while researching newspapers.
All of the digitised newspapers are fully text-searchable and ways to refine results are supported. Content can be searched in the context of other Australian newspaper titles.
Trove offers the facilities to enable users to enrich and enhance the data through subject tagging, text correction and annotations.
Newspapers are digitised in a standard format which supports long-term preservation and ongoing access.
The digitisation process and how to contribute
From our experience the most efficient approach to digitise a newspaper for online access is to scan the master copy of its microfilm, then perform content analysis and apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to the scanned content. It is a complex undertaking requiring specialised knowledge, skills and systems support. It involves consistent application of specifications, quality assurance of the digital images and text generated by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing, as well as providing storage and management of large volumes of data for ongoing access.
For these reasons, the National Library prefers to undertake the scanning and OCR processing on behalf of the contributing organisation, with funds transferred to the Library to cover the costs of the work. This approach has the following advantages:
- the contributors can make use of the established information technology infrastructure and specialist knowledge of the technical requirements developed at the Library;
- efficient workflows are utilised, ensuring that specifications and standards that underpin Trove are met and human intervention is minimized;
- double handling and unnecessary overhead costs are minimized;
- the contributors can benefit from volume discounts, established processes and relationships which the National Library has with scanning and OCR contractors.
The role of the contributing organisation is therefore to initiate the digitisation process by:
- nominating a title and years for digitisation. Most titles included in Trove to date are from the years up until 1954 but post-1954 content can be included where permission to do so has been negotiated with the copyright owner by the contributing organization;
- checking the availability of microfilm for the title it would like to digitise with the relevant state or territory library and seeking permission to use it;
- contacting the National Library as soon as practicable, as it is important to ensure the approach taken is compatible with the technical requirements of Trove;
- Discussing with the National Library any specific requirements and timelines for the digitisation process. For instance the Library may be able to complete the digitisation to a set timeline or manage the project in stages. The priority assigned to contributed content will depend upon the annual workload and capacity of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) team, the size and complexity of the project.
The National Library welcomes opportunities to support funding applications by contributing organisations.
Based on the preferred approach in which organisations provide funding to the Library to manage the digitisation process and delivery of content in Trove, the charge applied by the Library is $2.31 per page (including GST).
This indicative cost is based on scanning an English language newspaper from microfilm, and covers the direct costs of the digitisation process – scanning, OCR processing, content analysis and quality assurance, the full cost of staff time spent on project management and all systems infrastructure required to ingest, store and manage the digitised newspapers for long-term access. A breakdown of the costs in these categories is listed further below.
Additional charges may apply if:
- scanning from hard copy newspapers is required;
- the language content of the newspapers is not English; or
- the contributing organisation requires its own copy of the digitised content.
Roles and responsibilities
The National Library will undertake digitisation on behalf of organisations for a charge as outlined above on the understanding that:
- unrestricted access can be provided to the content through Trove; for post-1954 content, the organisation contributing it must negotiate and document reproduction permission with copyright owners;
- the contributor will establish a standard Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/) providing information on the title being processed;
- if they are a Libraries Australia member, the contributor will catalogue the title to be digitised on Libraries Australia;
- once ingested into Trove, no content will be removed or suppressed except for legal reasons;
- the National Library will acknowledge the funding source of contributed content on Trove;
- the National Library has the right to manage the content for long-term access in whatever way it considers appropriate;
- if the contributor requires a copy of the master file of contributed content, this can only be provided at the time the content is processed into Trove.
Memorandum of Understanding
Before the National Library can carry out a digitisation project on behalf of another organisation, it is required that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed by both parties. The MOU will cover the roles and responsibilities outlined above that will apply to each party.

Suspended Galveston judge arrested again
GALVESTON - Suspended Galveston Judge Christopher Dupuy was arrested for the second time in three weeks after a grand jury indicted him again Wednesday.
Dupuy was arrested about 4 p.m. on a misdemeanor charge of abuse of official capacity for allegedly violating the prohibition against sitting judges practicing law, Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset said.
The indictment accuses Dupuy of providing legal assistance to his former girlfriend, Tara Compton, Assistant Attorney General David Glickler said. The Attorney General's Office is prosecuting the case because Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady recused his office since his attorneys have hundreds of cases pending in Dupuy's court.
Dupuy was released on $1,500 bail, said George Parnham, Dupuy's attorney. "It's simply a recycling of old material that's been before the grand jury," Parnham said about the latest indictment.
The county-court-at-law judge was arrested for the first time last month on eight criminal charges relating to his conduct in office, including two felony charges of official oppression. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct suspended him three days later.
Dupuy has denied the charges. He will be automatically removed from office if convicted.
More Information
Dupuy's first indictment: 8 criminal counts
Suspension: Indicted Galveston judge suspended
Judge blasts judge: He could 'hurt or kill someone'
Galveston County attorney David Hughes said the latest indictment mirrors allegations that he made last year in a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Hughes said that Dupuy had advised Compton that a court order governing the custody of her child was incorrect and that she need not comply with it.
"Not only was he helping her out, but he gave her horrible legal advice that got her in trouble," he said.
The same day Dupuy was arrested for the first eight indictments Hughes joined with the Office of Attorney General Greg Abbott in filing a civil lawsuit seeking to remove Dupuy from office. Hughes was one of three attorneys named in the indictment as victims of Dupuy's conduct.
Parnham, Dupuy's attorney, said that the allegations in the new indictment were similar to those in a one of the misdemeanor indictments that accused Dupuy of using a government fax for Compton's benefit. "It appears it's basically a recitation of the same matter that's previously been before the grand jury."

Oral Health Program
Good oral health is essential to general health and well-being and involves much more than healthy teeth. Oral infections are associated with heart and lung disease, stroke, diabetes, and low-birth-weight, premature babies. Left untreated, tooth decay or oral infections can lead to other health problems and significant pain, interference with eating and nutrition, overuse of emergency rooms, and lost school or work time.
The Oral Health Program works to increase awareness of the importance of oral health and preventive care, foster community and statewide partnerships to promote oral health and improve access to dental care, and promote the use of innovative and cost effective approaches to oral health promotion and disease prevention.

An early morning collision resulted in critical injuries for a Wichita man and shut down K-15 highway Nov. 7.
A Goessel High School student, Kevin Moon, was on his way to an honor math contest when he pulled his 1988 Chevy pickup onto the highway from the east after stopping at the stop sign. He proceeded into the path of an oncoming truck driven by Robert Earnst, 56, of Wichita. Earnst swerved to miss the youth and lost control of his 2005 F150 pickup. The vehicle flipped several times before coming to rest on its side in the middle of the highway just south of Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church. Alberto Morales-Ceniceros, 61, also of Wichita, was a passenger in Earnst's vehicle.
Moon, who was not hurt, rushed to aid Earnst and Morales-Ceniceros, kicking out their shattered windshield and pulling them out.
"I didn't know what else to do. I just didn't see them," Moon said. "I looked both ways but just didn't see them."
Goessel first responders arrived on the scene first and assisted Morales-Ceniceros with a critical head injury. They also diverted highway traffic through the nearby church parking lot while the highway was shut down. Ambulances from Hesston and Hillsboro responded, as well as state troopers and a fleet of other emergency personnel. Eventually, a Life Team helicopter flew Morales-Ceniceros to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. Marion County EMS transported Earnst to Newton for emergency care.
According to Marion County Sheriff Rob Craft, a third vehicle drove over debris from the initial crash but the driver, Shannon Gustason, 36, did not sustain any injuries.

Oceania Marina's Culinary Coupby Janice Wald Henderson | 01.09.12
Luxury Cuisine for on the Upscale Oceania Marina
I'm a cruise snob but only about the food. It doesn't matter how much a ship toots its own, er, horn, or receives glowing reviews. I'm a skeptic, and I'm jaded. So count me as one surprised - and yes, impressed - food writer onboard Oceania's 1,250-passenger Marina.
Oceania Cruises is ranked upper-premium, a relatively newish category between premium and luxury. Ships in this grouping are larger than luxury vessels, and charge for extras like alcohol so they can't be deemed luxury - yet still offer many luxurious touches.
Oceania Cruises debuted Marina in January 2011 as an evolutionary step beyond their Regatta-Class ships. Press releases made Marina sound like a food-lover's dream, making me a skeptic.
Bob Binder, Oceania's former President (now Vice Chairman, Prestige Cruise Holdings, parent company for both Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises), said: "Marina is the first ship purpose-built for epicureans. We are committed to serving cuisine that rivals some of the world's very best restaurants."
The first ship built for foodies? Never heard that before.
Oceania's Marina came out swinging with major marketing alliances. Bon Appétit and Wine Spectator magazines. Spa icon Canyon Ranch. Jacques, the first restaurant affiliated with master chef Jacques Pépin.
And no extra fee for any restaurant, including specialty dining. This is rare – if not a first – for upper-premium. Dining choices include six fine-dining restaurants and two private dining venues. The onboard culinary school is for hands-on cooking lessons, not the entertaining, but ultimately useless, demos. This is another huge first for any ship category.
Could Marina be as good for food devotees as it sounds? A few months ago, I took my first cruise to see what was marketing - and what was real.
OVERVIEW Marina's cuisine is equal to food on luxury lines - and in some instances, better. It blows other upper-premium lines I've sailed on, well, out of the water.
Ingredient quality is top-notch. Lobster is sweet and plentiful. Produce looks and tastes fresh-picked. Buffets – in presentation, variety and taste – rival any luxury cruise ships.
Dining rooms are beautifully designed – each radically different from another in ambiance and menus. Service is top-notch, even at buffets.
Much credit goes to Franck Garanger, Oceania's fleet corporate chef. Garanger was corporate chef for Silversea Cruises from 1999-2004, when that line's cuisine received nonstop wows. This savvy French chef – who has worked in Michelin-starred establishments – was hired by hands-on, über-smart Frank Del Rio, chairman and CEO of Prestige Cruise Holdings.
I accidentally met Garanger onboard Marina and couldn't believe his energy, enthusiasm and dedication. He was like a kid in a candy store.
This was no show. We had no scheduled interviews. I bumped into him, day and night. He was always running from kitchen to kitchen, checking the crust on the French bread (his personal passion), sauce consistency, plating. Garanger emphasized how he hires passionate chefs who trained or made their mark onshore. Smart move; career cruise chefs become too comfortable and out of touch; land-based chefs are edgier, more in tune with culinary trends.
Garanger has his finger on the food world pulse. He travels everywhere, tasting the best, and then transforms his experiences into dishes of his own style.
The hard work and talent shows. Marina cuisine should wow food connoisseurs everywhere, particularly those who embrace local ingredients, sustainable foodstuff – everything fresh and good in the culinary world. Honeymooners to baby boomers – this ship's for you.
THE GRAND DINING ROOM Passengers often make main dining rooms their last choice, for when specialty restaurants are booked or buffets are jammed. Not The Grand Dining Room. This venue is no fallback – it's a destination.
It's luxury-liner-lovely, with golden columns and a stunning crystal chandelier set in a soaring ceiling. Soft colors in cream and gold hues and rich woods add to the posh ambiance.
Menus are very much 2012. They meander the Med, emphasizing French technique and including Asian fare. Flavors are intense and pure, reliant on ingredients and technique rather than gimmickry. No old-school (heavy, outdated) cruise line entrees, no weird fusion fare. And no salad with raspberry vinaigrette. (Yes, they're still sailing on some ships.)
Presentations are elegant, sauces restrained. Hollandaise, for instance, is but a glaze on classic veal Oscar. Parmesan foam floats like a cloud above risotto Milanese.
In the morning, there's an "express breakfast" – great when you're dashing to shore yet still want table service. Scrambled eggs, toast and bacon with orange juice and coffee come quickly.
If you have the time, linger over smoked salmon and onion omelets, or paper-thin Swedish pancakes with fine turkey bacon. House-baked breads are wonderful, from muffins and brioche to croissant. (The 135-calorie apple muffin from the Canyon Ranch menu is delicious.)
Lunchtime, crazy-good sesame breadsticks (house-made) and light fare such as cured and grilled salmon in blini "pancakes" with potato salad hits the spot. The potato salad is made with minimal mayonnaise – another sign of Marina's finesse with the smallest of details, and how the ship keeps modern dining in mind.
The dinner menu changes daily and abounds with urbane twists. Count on five starters, two soups, three salads and some seven main courses. Vegetarians can choose from three starters and two entrees.
Canyon Ranch, the fabled spa, presents "Healthy Living Choices," which include an appetizer, salad and main course. Calories and fat and fiber grams are listed. Dishes like roasted veal rack loin with sweet potato gnocchi (405 calories), or pan-seared jumbo scallops with artichoke puree and tomato confit (225 calories) impress.
Main dining venues always offer plain-Jane steak-chicken-salmon entrees. But on the Marina, they are Jacques Pépin signature dishes and possess fancy flourishes, like hand-cut French fries or garlic butter rosettes (flower-shaped).
Good saffron makes the chicken tajine (Moroccan style) with dried apricots and chickpeas. And yay to the Riesling (German white wine) in the wine sauce for grilled fish and seafood with Alsatian (French province bordering Germany) sauerkraut.
Beef is Black Angus (USDA prime steaks are served in the Polo Grill) and lobster is from Maine. Foie gras pops up in several starters over the length of a cruise, from chicken ballotine (rolled and stuffed boned poultry) to handmade ravioli with leek and chive "foamy" sauce.
Chefs here have other foodie faves down pat. Seared tuna? Check. Crostata with goat cheese and mushrooms? Yup. And nice Latin accents, like blue corn tortilla-crusted duck breast with poblano chili sauce. Because that's how the kitchen rolls.

POLO GRILL Like all good steakhouses, Polo Grill is an indulgence. Pass your cardiology tests before you dine here, because the food can be rich. Beef is USDA Prime and dry-aged at least 28 days. And there's no extra charge for any dish, including the 32-ounce king's cut bone-in prime rib, and the 20-ounce porterhouse. Such a swanky dinner, paired with starters like lobster bisque topped with lobster morsels, or lump crab cakes, would cost big bucks on other upper-premium ships.
Light eaters can select salads topped with grilled chicken or tuna. But who can resist the plump veal chop or a thick rib-eye with truffle mashed potatoes and creamed spinach?
Stay awhile; the Polo Grill is a room for relaxation. (Anyway, who could move after such a big meal?) It's grand-steakhouse-style, with burgundy leather chairs and crisp linens.

JACQUES Created for, and with, legendary French chef Jacques Pépin, this restaurant feels so personal. An antique sideboard, planked wood floors and beautiful oil paintings are most inviting. And with French torch singer Edith Piaf playing softly in the background and a server from Marseilles so I can practice French - how perfect is that?
The original menu was simple bistro dishes like onion soup and rotisserie meats. Perhaps it was too simple; some guests didn't get it takes top ingredients and ship-shape techniques to make this food good.
The new, slightly tweaked menu is more crowd-pleasing. French classics, like truffle-and-pistachio sausage with potato salad, are replaced by dishes such as warm goat cheese soufflé with heirloom tomatoes.
The breads are excellent. Baguettes have a thick crust yielding to a yeasty soft center. This is authentic French bread, the sort that goes stale in hours. Smear a chunk with sweet butter for a taste of heaven.
Dover sole, sautéed with crispy bread croutons, lemon and caper-butter and filleted tableside, is a must-order. It's light, elegant and so very French.
Marveous madeleines (mini-cakes) are served warm from the oven, in fresh-baked flavors like pistachio, chocolate and vanilla. They're irresistible.

RED GINGER Red Ginger is red-hot. It's reportedly Marina's most popular restaurant, and certainly, the buzziest.
The décor is 180 degrees from staid or nautical. Think trendy urban, say Los Angeles or New York. Three Buddhas, each carved from a single piece of glass and lit from within, are unabashed drama. Black, red and gold hues pop throughout the room.
The menu roams Asia in a confident style. What would be fried calamari elsewhere, translates to ginger-laced crispy calamari - big sweet pieces – and zero oil. Caramelized tiger prawns are fiery – the heat's cranked up beyond the usual cruise ship level. But I don't taste the Vietnamese-style caramel as much as I'd like – perhaps it's hidden under the heat.
Salads, like avocado lobster salad with crispy lotus, and spicy duck and watermelon, are the respite you need from the bold flavors. And the textures - crispy, soft and crunchy at once - dazzle. Tempura vegetables, with a sheer supermodel-skinny coating, are excellent. Lobster pad Thai, rice noodles crowned with a giant lobster in its bright-red shell, is an eye-popping hit. Tender lamb tenderloin, encased in a five-spice crust, unfolds its deeply marinated flavors "like pages of a book," notes my husband. I couldn't have said it better.

TOSCANA Toscana is meant to celebrate the best of Tuscany. Many recipes supposedly originated with mothers and grandmothers of the Italian culinary staff.
It's hard to move beyond the breads; they're that good. Crunchy breadsticks, buttery focaccia and soft onion-tomato rolls appear with a bulb of roasted garlic. Servers wheel over a cart of specialty olive oils and vinegars, which have their own menu. Would you like hot pepper oil for dipping? Rosemary basil? Or balsamic vinegar with strawberry and wild black cherry notes?
Carpaccio of octopus, with aged Parmesan and champagne vinaigrette, is marvelous. The Caesar is less so; I know the presentation of oils and vinegars takes too much time for servers to make a Caesar tableside. Still, wheeling over a cart just to toss the lettuce with pre-prepared dressing is a letdown.
Velvety gnocchi is bathed in a gutsy pesto. Hand-fashioned tortelloni has a wonderful spinach and ricotta filling, but the sage butter sauce is bland. Pan-seared sea bass is perfect but pounded veal chop is slightly dry.
Tiramisu is mostly cream with not enough cake or espresso. No matter, a stellar chocolate "lasagna" dessert with a lightly roasted pistachio sauce makes up for every disappointment.

TERRACE CAFÉ Terrace Café is no ordinary all-day buffet. The staff handles nearly everything; guests don't touch most food, which is the way you want it. Presentations are five-star, making you wish you could try it all.
Even the simplest fare is good. Impeccable salads include marinated fennel. Pasta and ravioli are house-made and come with nuanced sauces. A giant haunch of Virginia ham, prime rib or lamb awaits at the carving station, and is sliced to order.
Dinner averages very good to excellent. One night, grilled (over coals) filet mignon, lobster tail and shrimp are the stars.
At breakfast, servers are noticeably cheery, greeting each guest with a warm "good morning." Servers happily deliver foamy cappuccinos, although you can help yourself from a machine. (They do not carry your trays, as they do on luxury ships.) Baked-from-scratch breakfast pastries include flaky croissants and toasted coconut Danish that could destroy any diet.

WAVES Waves, a poolside hangout, is a food-lover's fantasy. Thick, juicy Wagyu (American-raised, Kobe-style beef) burgers on toasted house-made buns. Big juicy hot dogs, with snap to each bite. And my personal favorite, grilled lobster medallion and filet mignon on toasted ciabatta, with garlic roasted jus and Parmesan-dusted truffle fries.
Unless the tiny kitchen is slammed (which can happen when everyone returns from shore excursions at once), the food is fairly flawless. And hand-dipped milkshakes and malts from the next-door ice cream bar? Thick, rich and creamy, evoking the cool comfort of childhood. And there's no extra charge.

PRIVATE DINING VENUES La Reserve by Wine Spectator was created in conjunction with the wine connoisseur magazine. This wine-tasting center offers seminars and tastings by day, and seven-course dinners paired with premium wines at night. Dinners are $95 per guest plus 18% gratuity.
Privée is reserved for private parties, up to 10 guests. The stylish setting – oversized white throne chairs, lipstick-red swirled carpeting and backlit onyx walls – is dazzling. Menus are custom-created from Polo Grill, Toscana or a combination of both. The glam room is yours for the night for $250 – reasonable for a private party, especially since the food is included.
BON APPÉTIT CULINARY CENTER The Bon Appétit Culinary Center may be Marina's greatest coup. Many ships now offer culinary classes, but they're mostly demonstration only, and usually offer poorly written recipes.
On the Marina, you can actually learn to cook. The center mimics a real culinary school. And while it's serious, it's still designed to be great fun.
Each student dons an apron and is assigned a station complete with burners, cutting board, utensils and knives. Kathryn Kelly, the center's executive chef and Director of Culinary Enrichment for Oceania Cruises, is a Culinary Institute of America instructor and completed her doctoral studies in epidemiology from John Hopkins University School of Public Health. Three additional chefs assist, although she's so formidable, she needs little help.
Chef Kelly packs impressive knowledge into classes and commands instant respect. She spends much time teaching basic knife skills. She also tosses out great tips, like small eggs are tastiest as they're from younger chickens.
We each prepare our own potato torta (Spanish tapa) and pan of paella. And we get to taste the results of our work. (If you can call it work; we're simultaneously sipping sangria Chef Kelly whipped up.) Recipes are expertly written, styled for home cooks and teeming with tips.
The buzz is that 2012 shore excursions will include trips to local markets with the culinary center chef, to gather ingredients and cook them onboard. I'll keep you posted.

SUMMATION Oceania Marina's cuisine is giving luxury liners serious competition. I'd sail again for the spicy duck and watermelon salad at Red Ginger, toasted coconut Danish in the Terrace Café or lobster and filet mignon sandwich poolside.
And those are just for starters.
For the total luxury experience on an upper-premium ship, book accommodations on the Concierge or Penthouse decks. Room service is expanded, and private lounges (staffed by a concierge) offer beverages and small bites all day. Butlers on Penthouse floors are the icing on the Marina cake.
Riviera, Marina's sister ship, debuts in April 2012, and I'm curious what culinary refinements will be revealed. Frank Del Rio, Franck Garanger and the rest of this team are not going to rest on their laurels.

Sarah Myles scored with 6:01 left and keeper Dani Bettini was outstanding in the second half as the second-seeded Mounties earned a 1-0 victory over No. 7 Easton in the quarterfinals of the District 11 Class AAA girls soccer playoffs at Ross-Stulgaitis Stadium on Thursday.
Stroudsburg — With most of its chances denied in a variety of ways, it was a goal off a collection of bodies that resulted in the game-winner for Stroudsburg.
Sarah Myles scored with 6:01 left and keeper Dani Bettini was outstanding in the second half as the second-seeded Mounties earned a 1-0 victory over No. 7 Easton in the quarterfinals of the District 11 Class AAA girls soccer playoffs at Ross-Stulgaitis Stadium on Thursday.
The Mounties (18-2-1) will face No. 3 Whitehall, which beat No. 6 Pleasant Valley, 3-1, in another quarterfinal match Thursday, in the semifinals Tuesday.
It wasn't the prettiest goal that got Stroudsburg one step away from playing for a district title, but the Mounties sure will take it.
Stacy Young started the play by sending the ball into the box. Jasmine Watson and Myles sprinted toward it, along with several Easton defenders, but it was Myles who got the final touch. The ball got behind Red Rovers keeper Giana Solomon and trickled into the net with just over six minutes to go.
"Me and Jasmine ran to the ball as fast as we could and somehow one of us was able to get something on it," said Myles, who has 18 goals this season and five in the past five matches. "Then I just watched it roll in."
It was the last of 15 shots for the Mounties, who did everything to score a goal without tallying one through the first 74 minutes.
Bria Bittiger, the MVP of the Mountain Valley Conference the past two seasons, had two good chances in the first half, Lexi Meisse hit the crossbar in the 65th minute and Amanda Pacella hit the post off a free kick two minutes later. Solomon was also solid, stopping nine shots in the match, including several sprawling saves.
"We had some chances and maybe would of, should of or could of have had a couple of goals there," Stroudsburg coach Cindy Svensson said. "I told the girls it was going to come down to who wants it more and it doesn't have to be pretty and sure enough it was pure determination (on the goal). They got in there, got a touch, got something on it and got it in."
Easton (13-7) controlled possession throughout much of the match, but the Mounties' defense and Bettini were on their games.
After putting none of their three shots in the first half on goal thanks in part to the strong play of Stroudsburg's D, the Red Rovers manufactured some good chances in the second 40 minutes. The best one came just moments after Myles' goal when an Easton player headed a corner kick toward the goal only to see Bettini waiting for it near post.
"You have to be mentally prepared at all times," said Bettini, who made five saves. "You have to see where their opportunities might be and have to be prepared for them to shoot at any time."
The combination of some timely clears by Amanda Pacella and the defense and Bettini's strong play between the posts helped make Myles' goal stand up.
"Dani is so calm and collected, and she's athletic, gets to the ball and makes the save," Svensson said. "And the defense held up real nice. Pacella had some clutch clears, too, and they've been doing that all year."
The Zephyrs stand in the way of Stroudsburg making its first district final since 2003 when the Mounties lost to Parkland.
Stroudsburg is familiar with Whitehall, which gave the Mounties their first loss of the season with a 1-0 victory on Sept. 29.
"They're a really good team," Myles said. "I think we have a good chance as long as we give our all."
No. 2 Stroudsburg 1, No. 7 Easton 0
Easton 0-0 — 0
Stroudsburg 0-1 — 1
Goals — S, Sarah Myles. Assists — S, Stacy Young. Saves — E, Giana Solomon 9; S, Dani Bettini 5. Shots — E 9; S 15. Corners — E 3; S 3.
Records — Easton 13-7; Stroudsburg 18-2-1.

Slow Cooker Cinnamon Applesauce
Fall calls to me to make aromatic food. Nothing says September quite like apples and cinnamon. Cinnamon applesauce made in the slow cooker not only tastes delicious and is free from preservatives, it makes our house smell wonderful. This recipe makes a nice chunky (or process for smooth) applesauce with a pleasant sweat tarness.
Slow Cooker Cinnamon Applesauce
- 24 medium sized apples, peeled and chopped
- 4 tsp. lemon juice
- 2 – 3 inch cinnamon sticks
- 4 TB. light brown sugar
Set crock pot on low and place the peeled and chopped apples into it. Add the lemon juice, brown sugar and two cinnamon sticks. Cook on low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. Whisk to give the applesauce a nice chunky consistency and remove the cinnamon sticks.
Two dozen apples fills my large oval slow cooker. If you have a smaller slow cooker or want to make a smaller batch, you can cut the recipe in half. Keeps well in the fridge or can by normal canning methods.
Fall is in the Air – Finding Balance
Temperatures are beginning to drop. Breezes wisp through leaves that will soon be falling. Apples are plopping on the ground. This is my favorite time of year.
While the rest of the world is gearing up for more activities, I find myself wanting to sit back and enjoy the season. It's an inner struggle for me. I'm ready to go – apple picking, pumpkin picking, leaf observing. And yet, I want to savor and enjoy the experiences.
The slight winds caress my face as I watch my children play on a lovely afternoon. They revel in the day, dressed in their mismatched combinations of short sleeves and long sleeves, shorts and pants. We sip apple cider after playing and spend hours in the kitchen making applesauce, baked apples, and apple pies. The house smells like cinnamon apples and welcomes us to stay rather than going out. Soon it will switch to pumpkin.
Our regular activities are picking up in frequency again and we pull the reins before we join an out of control schedule. We apologetically say no to play dates or programs that we would enjoy. We can't do everything and we must choose. There is always a choice to be made. Luckily, we are in the position to choose what we want to do. So we make certain there are free days and home days for us to enjoy the weather, the season, the life that exists whether or not we choose to pay attention to it. We make memories and traditions which my children will remember. We find our balance, walking down a wooden fence, licking drops of apple juice from our lips when we bite into a crisp apple on a cool day, and kissing soft cheeks of children whose arms sneaking around us, hugging us tightly, as we hold onto them for the time we are given.
Conflict as Opportunity
I'm happy to share a guest post with you today. Kassandra Brown of Parent Coaching speaks of how conflict can be an opportunity. In addition to sharing her thoughts here concerning how we can turn conflict into a way to both connect and better understand our children and ourselves, Kassandra has a special coaching offer for readers. She is willing to offer three free coaching sessions to the first person who asks. Consultations are always free. If you are looking for a way to change how you communicate and interact with your children, she is willing to help.
When children disobey parents, parents are often told – by experts and other parents – that a Time Out is the solution. We're told that our children need consequences. We're told it's a good idea, and it will give them time to think about what they've done. We're told if we're not firm, then we're permissive and our children will never know discipline.
Yet here at Parent Coaching, we have a different opinion. Abandonment is one of the biggest punishments known through human history. To be kicked out of the tribe and made to be away from the protection of the rest of the group is an awful, sometimes fatal, punishment. This is the premise that Time Out is based on. If the fear of being isolated, alone, and ostracized is great enough, then a child will learn whatever rules parents or society say are 'right'.
Leaving baby alone to cry in a crib, or sending a toddler or older child away in disgrace for a time-out can seem like you're not doing anything much and it may be better than spanking or hitting. But it is not harmless. It is psychological warfare and adults are much better at it than children. We use the power of more words, longer sentences, and more complex arrangements of our thoughts and feelings into ideas that manipulate better and make isolation sound just. No wonder our children stop listening and pull out big hammers like "I hate you" when they don't get their way.
I believe most parents want their children to be happy and safe. I believe most parents want to be happy and safe themselves. And I believe the biggest obstacle to being more effective and compassionate with our children is our own unfelt pain. For me, this happens when the unmet needs, the old hurts, and the developmental sequencing that never happened get stimulated by my child's needs. I don't like these old hurts being stimulated and I want to make the stimulation stop. My child's crying, whining, and wailing pleas are the stimulation. If I send my child away the stimulation will stop. Making the parent's pain stop is another part of the foundation on which Time Out rests.
What can we do instead? Try a Time In. When conflict happens, welcome your own feelings and your child's feelings by gathering together. Our family often sits on the couch for a Time In. We sit together. Often my children don't want to come and sit. They still want whatever it is they want – the game, food, or activity that stimulated their longing and that they think will satisfy them. But if I sit quietly, or my husband and I sit together quietly, eventually the girls come over and sit with us.
Once we're fairly quiet, we take turns talking about how we're feeling, what we want, and what we just did. I often use reflective listening to let my children and spouse know they are heard and to get clear on what they really wanted me to hear. A Time In is a time to come together and acknowledge the pain we're feeling when one of us cries or yells. It is a time to share what each of us needs and wants. It is a time that often leads to more feelings of trust and safety in our family. It is not a magic cure-all, but sometimes it feels like one.
Kassandra Brown is a mother, parenting coach, yoga teacher, and friend. She recently moved with her family to a rural ecovillage in Missouri where they are creating a life of radical sustainability and emotional honesty. Three free teleconferencing calls introducing parent coaching will be happening with her this September. You're invited!

Tree Identification
Last week I headed out into the woods with kids in tow. This isn't a singular occurrence. My children and I are often in the woods. We know all of our local nature centers very well. However, this day, I was leading a co-op class on tree identification. I have to admit that identifying trees is something I have been interested in since I was a kid. There is something very satisfying about being able to identify what type of tree you are looking at. It's kind of like calling the tree by name. So, back when the kids and I were discussing possible class ideas to offer for our various co-ops, I was just a bit thrilled when I tossed out the idea of tree identification and heard a resounding "Yes!"
When I first came up with the topic, I wasn't certain how exactly we would lead a tree identification class. I'm not one to lecture to kids, which probably has something to do with our consensual living/unschooling lifestyle. I wanted to find something cool and fun that they could use to start identifying trees. I found it.
James Kavanagh's Trees: An Introduction to Familiar North American Species (North American Nature Guides) was just what I was looking for. The fold out pamphlet is laminated, perfect for those mucky trips out in the woods. You can find them online at various places for about $5.95. If you look around locally, you can probably find them at nature centers for the same price. You'll have to pay tax, but you will be supporting your local nature center at the same time you purchase a cool field resource for your family.
While the pamphlet is not all inclusive and you won't find every single species of tree in here, it has quite a bit. You'll find drawings of leaves and any berries or nuts. There are a few sentences for each tree to help in identifying certain characteristics and a small section that addresses those trees with identifying bark. We've been out with the guide since the class and the kids really enjoy using it. I've had requests for similar field guides on different topics.
We can learn so much about ourselves when we head out in nature and learn about it. By getting to know the world around us, we also learn about ourselves. I have a feeling my children will always search out the connection to the world they have now.
An Appreciation for Hot Tea
I have to admit that I have never understood coffee drinkers. The bitter taste and stomach aches after trying a sip are definitely a turn off for me. It turns out that I'm actually allergic to coffee, from which my original aversion may stem. Married to a coffee drinker for almost 14 years now, I've come to at least appreciate the smell of some coffees. However, my husband's ultimate satisfaction from drinking coffee has alluded me. Until this year I could say the same about hot tea. Certainly, tea in an iced form was pleasant to the taste buds, but hot tea seemed like such a foreign idea.
That changed last winter when I tasted my first cup of good hot tea. I won't say that first cup was a spiritual experience, but it was life changing. Not only had I tried something new, but I began to appreciate and understand something that had once boggled my mind.
Since that time, I've become a tea drinker. My husbands chortles at the numerous tins of tea in the cabinet, as he reaches to make his own tea, I might add. Over the summer, when it was too hot for me to drink hot tea, I would make it and let it sit on the counter until it cooled. Now that temperatures are finally, and very thankfully, beginning to drop, I find myself reaching for a cup of hot tea in the mornings. Certainly it warms my body, but I also find it warms my soul. Tea drinking is an experience, one which I can use to center myself, prepare for the day, or chill out with on a stressful afternoon of deadlines. It's introspective and timeless: an appreciation for life itself.
Remember Compassion
Earlier this year, I received a summons for jury duty. Now, while I respect that it is my duty and responsibility to serve as a juror, I was worried. I have a young nursling who nurses frequently and being away from her for a long period of time really wasn't conducive to nursing. While I was thinking of how to write a letter, respectfully requesting I be excused from jury duty at this time, my husband, in his ever reassuring tone, vacillated between reassuring me that we would do what we needed to make it work and saying that I would never be picked for jury duty. In his words, "[I] am way too analtyical to ever be picked for jury duty." Now, I would argue that you want analytical individuals to be on juries duties, but I took what he said as a compliment. I am analytical. It is part of what makes me such a great researcher. I love looking at data, breaking it down, looking at it from an analtyical perspective. This is great for science, for important decisions, for looking at facts.
Life isn't just about facts, though. Life is also about people and people do not fall nearly as easily into the same categories as facts. It's easy to forget. I, myself, forgot this last week. I was so focused on my task, matching up numbers, playing with the spreadsheet, and being efficient at the job at hand, in between taking kids to co-op classes, helping them with projects, and every day busyness, that I forgot that there was another person on the other end of those numbers – a person who needed and deserved compassion. I was so focused on doing what I needed to do and fitting it in with everything else, that I left my compassion behind. Without compassion, we are little more than robots. Without compassion, we lose our connection with others.
In one brief instant, as I lay in bed nursing and reading to my children, it hit me. I realized how I could have better handled the situation – with compassion. I found myself back at the computer, writing an apology to someone. It's easy to become so focused in our tasks and our goals, and our busyness, that we forget about compassion for others. It's something we need to remember. Whether we are a person dealing with a friend, an employer dealing with an employee, a politician dealing with people, or even a tired parent interacting with tired children, we can't afford to forget our compassion. When we do, we lose so much. We lose our humanity.

TPWD News Release — May 7, 2012
AUSTIN — The Gulf of Mexico commercial shrimp season for both state and federal waters will close 30 minutes after sunset on Tuesday, May 15 until an unspecified time in July.
The closing date is based on samples collected by the Coastal Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department using trawl, bag seine and other information gathered from the shrimping industry.
Data regarding TPWD brown shrimp bag seine catch rates, mean lengths of shrimp in April 2012, percent of samples containing shrimp, and periods of maximum nocturnal ebb tidal flow indicate a May 15 closing date is appropriate. Typically, once the shrimp reach about 3½ inches long, they begin their migration back to the Gulf.
"The closure is designed to allow these small shrimp to grow to a larger more valuable size before they are vulnerable to harvest," said Robin Riechers, TPWD coastal fisheries division director. "The goal is to achieve optimum benefits for the shrimping industry while providing proper management to protect the shrimp."
The Texas closure applies to Gulf waters from the coast out to nine nautical miles. The National Marine Fisheries Service has announced federal waters out to 200 nautical miles also will be closed to conform to the Texas closure.
While the statutory opening date for the Gulf season is July 15, TPWD's Coastal Fisheries Division will be sampling shrimp populations to determine the optimum opening date for both the shrimp and the shrimpers. No announcement will be made concerning the re-opening until June data are collected.

Smith, Willard Harvey (1900-1998)
Willard Harvey Smith, North American Mennonite historian, was born 15 October 1900 near Eureka, IL, the eldest child of John J. and Katie E. Smith Smith. On 13 September 1930 he married Verna Graber. After graduating from Hesston Academy in 1920, Smith's education included: Hesston College (1920-1921), Goshen College, (BA, 1928), the University of Michigan (MA, 1929), the University of Chicago, and Indiana University (PhD, 1939). Teaching at Goshen College, 1929-1972, he became full professor of history and political science in 1942, served as dean of men (1932-1935), and chaired the social sciences division from 1949 to 1968. He directed Mennonite Central Committee work in Paraguay (1944-1945). Smith was a member and officer of a variety of professional historical, political science, and teachers' associations. His writings include: Paraguayan Interlude (Scottdale, 1950); Schuyler Colfax: The Changing Fortunes of a Political Idol (1952); William Jennings Bryan, Christian Reformer (1969); The Social and Religious Thought of William Jennings Bryan (1975); Mennonites in Illinois (Scottdale, 1983); and his autobiography, The Trail to Santa Fe: A Pilgrim's Progress (1985).

Here's UK pop star Lily Allen, attending the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, wearing quite a (literally) cheeky ensemble that includes a sparkly pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle Glitter Pumps. There were plenty of other London notables in attendance (Cara Delevingne, Keira Knightley, several members of the royal family, etc.), but I can't imagine their outfits were quite as eye-popping. You can find a regular black leather pair of Lily's pumps for $141 at our site
Lily gets a lot of blogspace on both TalkShoes and PurseBlog because her designer wardrobe is absurdly good, and she has a much stronger/edgier sense of personal style than most celebs. Lily is also one of Karl Lagerfeld's many celeb pets, so she's up to her eyeballs in Chanel and Fendi bags and accessories. You can peruse Lily's many fab looks and choice handbags in "The Many Bags of Lily Allen."

Foxconn Chairman Takes Interest in Medical Research
This post originally appeared on Digits.
Foxconn's boss is on the hunt for five Nobel winners, not to run its factories, but for cancer research.
Terry Gou is primarily known as the hard-driving Taiwanese billionaire who runs the iPhone-making monolith Foxconn.
But like many a wealthy magnate who has seen health troubles hit home, Mr. Gou has taken an interest in medical research after his wife died from cancer in 2005, followed by his brother two years later.
His efforts on this front have so far been personal, with donations to the tune of $455 million to found a new cancer treatment center in Taiwan and a biomedical research institute in conjunction with National Taiwan University in Taipei.
"I don't care about money," Mr. Gou said on Thursday at a press conference about the Yonglin Biomedical Engineering Center, which will open in March. "What matters is health."
But Mr. Gou's medical interest will also likely have results at Foxconn, which is the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer. The new cancer research facility is looking at areas where Foxconn can supply equipment, an official at the center said Thursday. Because of Foxconn's experience in laser and optical technologies, it may be able to supply machines for DNA testing and radiation therapy, he said.
It would be a foot in the door of a high-margin field for Foxconn. The company has been looking to expand into more profitable businesses than electronics contract manufacturing, which earns it only pennies on the dollar. Mr. Gou said in November that the company was interested in entering the medical, auto and environmental sectors.
But analysts caution that profits from medical equipment are a long way off. And there's plenty of competition.
"The medical equipment industry is dominated by American companies like GE," said Fubon analyst Arthur Liao. "Medical equipment is also not a commodity, like consumer electronics. It is much more customized. It will be difficult for it to be a major contribution to Foxconn's revenue."
Mr. Liao estimates that about 40% of Foxconn's revenue this year will come from its largest client, Apple, a similar percentage as last year.
For now, Mr. Gou says he's hoping that the new biomedical center will help draw international talent to Taiwan and help stem the island's brain drain. On Thursday, he announced they were looking internationally for biomedical professionals to join the center and wanted to recruit at least five Nobel prize winners.
Biotechnology has also been a major focus of Taiwan's government as it looks for new economic sectors to foster. Taiwan has long ruled the electronics contract manufacturing industry, but it is trying to escape the trap of low-end manufacturing.
The Yonglin center's research will focus on a number of cancer-related areas, including cell therapy, radiation, medical electronics development and preventive medicine.
The cancer treatment hospital is under construction and expected to open in 2018.

Empty Bowls is truly an event for the community, by the community.
"Everything you're enjoying today has been donated by someone in this community. That's what makes this such a great event," Holly Simon, board member for the Mountain Resource Center, told the folks assembled to enjoy soup and raise funds for those in need.
The annual Empty Bowls event raises money for the MRC and its efforts to help feed hungry families. The MRC hosted the first day of the two-day event last Wednesday at the organization's main office in Conifer.
Evergreen resident Patty Potter once was rescued from an attacking bear by her dog Bella. Now she's honoring Bella's memory by helping other people rescue dogs.
Potter started the Bella Pet Insurance Fund three years ago as a national nonprofit that provides health insurance grants to young people who want to rescue dogs. After three years of raising money and slowly gaining public recognition, the organization is ready to start helping more dog rescuers.
By foothills standards, the holiday spirit is in full swing, with seven holiday boutiques over the next few weeks.
About 50 young girls were excited and speechless when the snow queen and the ice princess arrived for a special party on Sunday.
The girls, dressed in their royalty finest, were prepared when the queen asked them to join in singing "Let It Go." It was all part of a party for young aficionados of the Disney movie "Frozen," hosted by Wilmot Elementary parent Jennifer Trinco at the Evergreen Elks Lodge.
A historic volunteer fire department siren now has a prominent spot at Evergreen Fire/Rescue thanks to a high school student's Eagle Scout project.
The siren was once used by fire department volunteers in the region for years. Volunteer "kitchen dispatchers" with red telephones from the fire department could activate the siren by pushing a button on their phones. When volunteer firefighters called in, the "kitchen dispatchers" would give them the address of the fire.
For the past 16 years, Maren Schreiber has coordinated the Special Needs Program of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District. Beginning with five youngsters when she first assumed the position, Schreiber now plans and leads activities for more than 90 people.
Participants in her program go swimming, rafting, fishing, horseback riding, bowling — and glide across Evergreen Lake on boats. They scale the climbing wall at Buchanan Rec Center, tend a garden and take trips to places of interest.
"We do just about everything," says Schreiber.
Evergreen's historic bell tower is getting a much-needed makeover, and it should be standing sentry over the east end of downtown by the end of the week.
The nonprofit HistoriCorps brought staff and volunteers to work on the tower, which is part of the historic buildings on the Church of the Transfiguration property. The tower is 115 years old, and it was restored in 1979 by the U.S. Army Reserves, but weather exposure slowly rots the wood, and church officials were afraid the tower might fall.
Bogart the mammoth donkey has a new lease on life thanks to the efforts of a West Jefferson Middle School seventh-grader and the kind-hearted staff at Colorado Horse Rescue.
Bogart was at a feedlot waiting to be sent to a slaughterhouse when 12-year-old Klaire Funderburgh fell in love with the gentle giant.
"She kept saying, 'Mom, I can't let him be killed. I have to save him,' " said Klaire's mother, Kristin Manley.
You never know what message the sign at the Indian Hills Community Center might offer. But one thing is certain: It draws the attention of motorists on Parmalee Gulch Road.
Some of the weekly slogans are funny; others are thought-provoking riddles. And a few have created quite a stir.
"I try to keep something up there that will make people smile," says Indian Hills resident Vince Rozmiarek, who places the weekly messages on the sign. "I've adopted it. It's really fun."
"This is full of spectacular-ness!" exclaimed Sue Comer as she walked through stands of aspen glowing with fall color last Thursday afternoon.
Comer had traveled from Loveland to a scenic overlook on Highway 103 where many people were gazing in awe at golden-leaved trees in the bright sunshine. The changing aspen also created bright patterns of color in the distant hills, which leaf-gazers were enjoying along with mature aspen they could walk up to and photograph.
Don't let the title fool you. "Strangers, Lovers and the Winds of Time" by Evergreen author Dale Lovin is far from a romance novel.
Lovin's second published work is a gritty, compelling portrait of white supremacists and their devastated victims. Written as a suspense novel interwoven with factual accounts of high-profile incidents, the book contains tales of past and present evil in American society.
The annual Hay Days at the Humphrey History Park and Museum offered a little something for everyone on Saturday.
"The music has been the best part so far," Evergreen resident Leslie Scully said after sharing a dance with her husband, Steve.
The event, celebrating its third year, took attendees back to the early 1900s and showed what life in Evergreen was like then.
Buchanan Rec Center on Sunday morning was inundated with kids swimming, running and biking in a triathlon that was meant to simply be fun.
Nearly 130 children ages 5 to 13 swam laps in the pool, ran around one of the Bergen ponds, and biked through Bergen Park. No one timed the event, though lots of parents cheered, waved flags, rang cowbells and took pictures.
The workforce in Evergreen is made up of people who prepare food, repair worn shoes, develop social media skills for businesses and individuals, and manage nonprofit organizations that benefit the local and global community. They are among many people who help make Evergreen a thriving, viable place to live.
A restaurant family
Hla Win is a sushi chef with a fairly new restaurant in Bergen Park where he, his wife and son spend many hours preparing food and serving customers.
Several a-fungi-anados gathered at Flying J Ranch last Friday morning to learn about mushrooms in the mountain area of Jefferson County.
"We have between 2,000 and 3,000 mushroom species just in this area," said Mary Beth Carpenter, a volunteer with the Lookout Mountain Nature Center.
About a dozen people showed up for "Beyond Pizza: What Everyone Should Know About Mushrooms." Carpenter led the talk on families of fungus.
Rubber duckies quacked across the finish line in record time, buoyed by the fast-flowing waters of Bear Creek, in the fifth annual Dam Ducky Derby on Saturday.
The creek was flowing at 60 cubic feet per second, compared with its more sedate 20 cfs in previous Augusts, said John Ellis, an organizer and director of community relations at Evergreen National Bank. The first ducks crossed the finish line in less than half an hour.
Dogs and their owners in every shape and size participated in the fourth annual Wine, Washes & Wagging Tails event in downtown Evergreen on Sunday.
From tiny Chihuahuas to a 150-pound chocolate Lab, from young children to older adults, the benefit for the Evergreen Animal Protective League had something for everyone.
Bright and early on the Fourth of July, fine Americans from every walk, trot, gallop and dash of life put their feet to the street as Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice kicked off its 33rd annual Freedom Run 5K.
Evergreen resident Jack Holbrook had a typical work-from-home job — he talked with customers on the phone and worked on his computer for his job at the Electrical Construction Co. in Hawaii.
The problem was, Holbrook didn't really like working from his home. He went from working at a busy office in Hawaii to working at home in Evergreen, and he wanted to interact with co-workers. He also wanted to be able to meet with people and socialize after work.
Holbrook apparently is not alone.
"Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together."
— Clare Ansberry
No truer words could be written about the garden south of the Evergreen Metropolitan District on Highway 73.
Known as the dam garden, its blooms attract visitors from May to October while its maintenance brings Evergreen Garden Club members together every Friday morning.

Leader Of Colombian Drug Trafficking Organization Sentenced To 27 Years In Federal Prison
TAMPA, Fla. - U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew today sentenced Jose Samir Renteria-(51, Cali, Colombia), a/k/a "Jose Morfi," to 27 years in federal prison for conspiring with others to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine onboard a vessel subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Renteria-Cuero pleaded guilty on February 6, 2014.
According to court documents, Renteria-Cuero was involved in maritime cocaine smuggling operations from the 1980s until at least 2009. He started out as a mechanic, servicing go-fast (GFVs) and participating in GFV smuggling operations. Eventually, he acquired and built GFVs and self-propelled semi-(SPSS) vessels and recruited mariners to participate in maritime cocaine smuggling operations. Renteria-Cuero worked with others to transport and store cocaine in Colombia, construct and repair GFVs and SPSS vessels, and dispatch those stateless vessels from Colombia. Renteria-Cuero acted as a "general contractor," accepting contracts to build SPSS vessels from cocaine owners in Colombia. Renteria-Cuero provided maritime cocaine transportation services aboard stateless vessels that were used to smuggle the drugs from Colombia to Mexico, via the Pacific Ocean, in international waters, knowing and intending that the cocaine would ultimately be imported unlawfully into the United States. Many of these ventures involved at least 1,000 kilograms of cocaine.
Renteria-Cuero was arrested in Cali, Colombia in March 2012, and subsequently extradited to the United States, first arriving at a place in the Middle District of Florida.
This case was investigated by the Panama Express South Strike Force, a standing Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task (OCDETF) investigation comprised of agents and analysts from the DEA, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Coast Guard Investigative Service, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and U.S. Southern Command's Joint Interagency Task Force South. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking and money laundering organizations and those primarily responsible for the nation's drug supply.
The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida. The Department of Justice's Office of International Affairs assisted with extradition of the defendant from Colombia.

Dinges boots lone goal on penalty kick in 1-0 RedHawks victory
VALPARAISO, Ind. – After coming up just short in its season opener Friday, the Miami University women's soccer team bounced back with a persistent performance Sunday afternoon at Brown Field that was capped by a late penalty kick goal from junior midfielder Kelsey Dinges, lifting the RedHawks to a 1-0 win over Valparaiso. Miami (1-1-0) collected its first win of 2013 with the effort, while handing the Crusaders (1-1-0) their first loss of the season in the first ever meeting between the teams.
Miami came out attacking early, with sophomore midfielder Haley Walter forcing Crusader keeper Kristen Manski to make a save in the second minute. The RedHawks then earned a pair of corners in the first 15 minutes, but were unable to capitalize. Both teams had close-range opportunities throughout the remainder of the half, with Miami senior goalkeeper Allison Norenberg lunging off her line to make a potential game-changing save on a breakaway, keeping the match scoreless at halftime.
After 45 minutes, Valpo held a 4-3 edge in shots, but the two teams each put a pair of shots on goal, as Norenberg and Manski both made two saves. The RedHawks did earn a 3-2 advantage in corner kicks in the first frame.
"I told the team at halftime that we would win this game with our bench and that's exactly what happened," head coach Bobby Kramig said. "We were able to keep fresh legs in the game the whole second half and it really made a difference."
The second half started similar to the first, with Miami again pushing forward. The 'Hawks drew a free kick four minutes into the second stanza but senior midfielder Katy Dolesh headed the ball just high of the goal. Minutes later, Dolesh was in on a breakaway and her shot from 15 yards out beat Manski but bounced off the left post and away from goal.
The RedHawks showed their depth as the match wore on, applying pressure in the 63rd minute from a pair of freshmen. Forward Jenna Weiner booted a shot high, but Miami earned a corner kick minutes later and Manski had to make a save on rookie midfielder Taylor Jackson's blast.
Dolesh had a few good looks 10 minutes later, with Manski saving one and stopping another shot from senior midfielder Kayla Zakrzewski. Finally, in the 87th minute, the RedHawks were able to break through. On a counter attack, Zakrzewski received a perfect through ball in the box from freshman midfielder Rachel Marble and was brought down by Manski, earning Miami a penalty kick. Dinges stepped up and confidently buried the kick for her first goal of the season to put the RedHawks on top.
Norenberg, who totaled three saves to earn her 13th career shutout, made one final save in the closing seconds to preserve the 1-0 victory. Miami dominated the second half, outshooting Valparaiso 10-3 over the final 45 minutes while also earning all three corner kicks awarded in the period. For the match, the RedHawks finished with a 13-7 edge in shots and 6-2 edge in corners, but Manski was strong in net, making six saves to keep the Crusaders in the game.
"It was a great team win today," Kramig said. "Friday's game (at Illinois State) was very difficult and I knew we were a bit depleted going into the game today. It was also very hot on the artificial surface. I thought our kids showed a lot of composure under tough conditions. The experience and confidence gained last year really showed."
Miami returns to Oxford next weekend for its home opener, which is its only contest of the weekend. The RedHawks host Belmont on Friday, Aug. 30 at 5 p.m. at Miami Soccer Field. As always, admission is free.
