We Will Build It!
Thanks to the generosity of philanthropists who truly believe in Ithaca College, a long-dreamt-of athletics and events center is becoming a reality.
An athletics and events center, long a dream at Ithaca College, draws closer to reality, thanks to a $5 million gift and a $4 million challenge grant from the Atlantic Philanthropies and a $1 million gift from the French American Charitable Trust.
Now, every former student-athlete, coach, or fan who has ever longed for a field house, every graduate and family member who has ever experienced an outdoor Commencement in bad weather, and every person who has ever been crowded out of a lecture or concert featuring a famous visitor can add as much as they can afford to that $10 million—and make the athletics and events center a reality. "These gifts create the momentum we need to go forward," says trustee Mike Serventi '72, who is cochairing the volunteer fund-raising committee for the A&E center.
Caroleen Feeney '86, an actor and member of the College's board of trustees who is affiliated with both foundations, was instrumental in securing the gifts. What is surprising is that she didn't play sports here. "I was not an athlete at Ithaca College—I spent my time in the theater," says Feeney. "But I was a great fan and supporter of the sports program, especially football, and I understand that this project is a vitally important investment in the College's future. While it will certainly benefit our student-athletes, its impact will be felt by the entire campus community."
Serventi strongly agrees. Like Feeney, he was not active in sports as an undergraduate. But, also like Feeney, as a trustee he is concerned about the welfare of the College overall, and he regards the proposed center as the "most important building on campus" in terms of the College's ability to attract and retain the best students. He is delighted by the generosity of Atlantic Philanthropies and the French American Charitable Trust. These grants, he points out, are kick-starting an effort that has been quietly under way for a couple of years, in which he and his fellow volunteers have been talking to others about bringing the A&E center dream to fruition. "A gift of this magnitude," says Serventi, "is a real shot in the arm for our fund-raising effort. It's the cornerstone of the project. And the $4 million challenge provides a huge incentive for our alumni and friends to step up and support the A&E center."
The Atlantic Philanthropies challenge grant, explains Shelley Semmler, vice president for institutional advancement, requires the College to raise $4 million in new gifts in order to receive the $4 million grant from Atlantic Philanthropies. "The $1.4 million we have already raised cannot be counted toward meeting the challenge," she says, "but what an opportunity for us! All new gifts will be matched dollar for dollar, so in the end, these wonderful gifts actually amount to $14 million, not $10 million."
An athletics and events structure has been on the wish list for the College since the 1960s move to South Hill. Dreams aside, the need for such a multipurpose facility has been recognized for some time, and was identified as a high priority when the campus master plan was unveiled in 2003. The Hill Center, the College's current athletics facility, was built in the 1960s to serve the needs of 2,800 students. It now must serve a student population of 6,400, of whom about 4,050—more than 60 percent—participate in varsity, intramural, or club sports. With such heavy demand for time slots and space, about half of Ithaca College's NCAA teams and many of its sports clubs have to use facilities rented from Cornell University in off-peak periods. Requests for new intramural or club sports have to be turned down because there are no time slots and not enough space to accommodate them.
"Space on campus is so limited that many teams and clubs have to schedule practices at such odd hours as 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.," says Ken Kutler, director of intercollegiate athletics and recreational sports. "No doubt, that affects students' sleep and study patterns. We have to give the coaches and athletes credit for continuing to keep our athletics programs so competitive." Small wonder, then, that the coaches solidly support the A&E project. In fact, Paula Miller, coach of the women's swimming team, and George Valesente '66, M.S. '75, coach of the men's baseball team, have joined the fund-raising effort.
Despite the lack of adequate facilities, Ithaca College athletes have a tremendous record of achievement—15 national championships; 22 individual national championships won by 16 athletes; some 90 athletes each semester named to the Empire 8 President's List for academic excellence (requiring a 3.75 cumulative GPA or better). Furthermore, the College's retention rate is higher among students who participate in athletics than among those who do not. The A&E center will amplify that tradition of excellence and will also serve as a home for the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame, which honors that tradition.
Nowhere is the need for a multipurpose facility more apparent than in the College's recruiting efforts. Students who are serious about academics are often serious about athletics as well. And when they are looking at colleges that are academically comparable, their decision may hinge on which one has the best athletics facilities. "We don't recruit good athletes; we recruit good students who go on to be good athletes," Mike Serventi says. "And our current facilities definitely affect our ability to recruit the kind of students the College wants. These students won't choose Ithaca if our facilities don't at least match what they're leaving [at their high schools]."
Building the athletics and events center, which will be located in the southeast quadrant of campus near the Fitness Center, allows the College to make a powerful statement about the importance of athletics to the entire campus community. "Ithaca College has a robust athletic heritage," points out President Peggy R. Williams. "About 60 percent of our students participate in athletics on the intramural or intercollegiate level. Our intercollegiate teams have been extremely successful despite our facilities, which are not equal to the quality of our athletes. Building this athletics and events center makes a strong statement about the importance of athletics at Ithaca College and the contribution our student-athletes make to this community."
The center also addresses another need—a space large enough to hold all the 8,000-plus people who live and work here, as well as visitors from off campus. Having a facility that will accommodate large lectures, campuswide events such as Commencement and Convocation, concerts, and important sports competitions will reinforce the College's commitment to inclusiveness.
The fund-raisers and volunteers, along with the College administration, are currently determining what will go into the facility and what needs can be met by the project. The programs and content of the building will be determined by how much money alumni and other donors contribute. As Semmler points out, "The College can no longer afford to construct buildings on borrowed money."
The gifts from Atlantic Philanthropies and the French American Charitable Trust have had a significant impact already, energizing everyone involved. Swenson, who has been working hard to raise funds for the building, greeted the news of the grants with enthusiasm and gratitude: "These gifts give us a tremendous boost. Now everyone knows the center will sooon be a reality."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Says Inflexible 12-Week Medical Leave Policy Violates ADA
CHICAGO – United Road Towing, one of the nation's largest towing companies, violated federal anti-discrimination law by enforcing an inflexible medical leave policy, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has charged in a new lawsuit.
According to the EEOC's suit, United Road Towing failed to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities who were on authorized medical leave, and instead terminated them after they used the full 12 weeks of leave allowed under Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The EEOC also asserts that United Road Towing refused to re-hire employees with disabilities when those employees reapplied after being terminated under the company's medical leave policy. The EEOC asserts that both of these alleged practices violate the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
"During our investigation, we uncovered a troubling company policy," EEOC Chicago District Director John Rowe, who supervised the administrative investigation which the agency conducted before filing suit, said. "This employer flouted the law against disability discrimination by shutting these people out of future employment after taking just 12 weeks of leave."
EEOC Chicago Regional Attorney John Hendrickson said, "The issue in this lawsuit will be whether United Road Towing discriminated against employees with disabilities in administering an inflexible medical leave policy. The ADA mandates that employers engage in an interactive process with disabled employees to provide reasonable accommodations, and this mandate remained after the passage of the FMLA. Companies must find a way to administer their medical leave policies without discriminating against employees with disabilities, as we allege United Road Towing failed to do."
The lawsuit, filed September 30, 2010 and captioned EEOC v. United Road Towing Inc., N.D. Ill. No. 10-cv-06259, was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago after the agency first attempted to resolve the matter with the employer through its voluntary conciliation process. Supervisory Trial Attorney Diane Smason and Trial Attorneys Ann Henry and Brandi Davis of the EEOC Chicago District Office will lead the agency's litigation team.
The EEOC Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

A document about its establishment, from 1878
It is still difficult to this day for me to understand the reason why they chose the location of the great central synagogue in town specifically at far location, among the alleys of poverty. How did they decide to put this central building used by the whole town specifically in this corner? Had there been perhaps a Jewish community in this area of town? The building was large and high. It looked skyward and proudly overlooked all the low houses nearby, and where passersby looked like tiny creatures. The architectural plan was based on the temples in the larger cities.
Every synagogue in town had its own particular congregation, the greater part of which belonged to a particular professional group and a specific social class. For example, that at the Shamashim Kloiz synagogue, the members were mostly butchers and leather dealers. At the Schneider Kloiz the members were mainly tailors; at the Husyatin synagogue, the members were storeowners, the rabbi, the rabbinical court judge and other scholars and intellectuals. At Sha'arei Zion and Tarbut, the members were progressives, followers of the Enlightenment and Zionists and similarly for the rest.
As far as I know, the first kloiz [small synagogue] in Yedinitz was the Old Kloiz. I heard that it was founded after the 1850s, or even earlier.

When R. Shmuel the rabbinical judge died (he was affectionately known as R. Shmilikel), his son R. Baruchel inherited his position, and an argument erupted among the community leaders whether to leave R. Baruchel, who was still young, in his position as rabbinical judge and decisor of Jewish law, or, because the town had grown in importance, and very complicated problems had increased, whether the community should hire a chief rabbi, given the town's new importance.

Joan Smalls Red-Carpet Pictures
Big Birthday Wishes For Joan Smalls on Her 24th
Big Birthday Wishes For Joan Smalls on Her 24th
The cover of Vogue Australia in May, the cover of Vogue Italia in March, and a much-buzzed-about W cover in July — it's been a busy couple months for Joan Smalls. So busy, in fact, that the Puerto Rican-born soon-to-be supermodel told us she'd be spending this year's birthday on a plane. "Lately it has been a whole lot of working, to then getting a flight," Smalls said. "Today is another one of those days."
All that hard work is surely paying off. Not only was Smalls recently revealed as the face of the Fall 2012 Fendi campaign, but in the aforementioned issue of W, Smalls was also dubbed a "new face of fashion" (along with industry darling Karlie Kloss). It's a title she's not taking lightly, especially in light of her birthday. "My biggest wish is that my W cover sells out this month," Smalls said.
Here's hoping that wish comes true. In honor of Smalls's 24th birthday — and what promises to be a very stellar year — a look at some of the model's chicest style moments as of late.

Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe/FOX Agreement Q&A Video
Fact Sheet
General Questions
The Big 12 Conference and Fox Sports Media Group have reached a 13-year agreement for exclusive cable rights to 40 football games per season, as well as to a variety of Olympic sports events and Conference championships.
The new pact, which takes effect with the 2012 football season, grants Fox Sports the exclusive cable rights to a minimum of 40 regular-season Big 12 football games-nearly double the number under its current agreement. Many of the telecasts will be distributed on FSN, which reaches over 85 million homes through two dozen owned and affiliated networks. Several other games will also be scheduled on FX, one of the most-watched cable networks in the country, now available in more than 99 million households, as part of its recently announced new college football game of the week. Fox also has similar cable exclusivity for a minimum of 40 Olympic sports events, including Conference championship events and women's basketball. The agreement also includes comprehensive multimedia rights to allow Fox to maximize online, mobile, and wireless opportunities for its Big 12 content.
"This landmark agreement positions the Conference with one of the best television arrangements in collegiate sports," said Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe. "It exceeds the benchmarks as we move forward with our 10 members by providing significant revenue growth, increased exposure while allowing institutions to retain selected rights. Most importantly, the agreement signifies the long-term commitment of the member institutions to one another. The Conference is delighted to continue its partnership with Fox and build on the momentum the FSN network has generated for the Big 12 brand through our first 15 years. We are excited about extending our presence on other FOX platforms, especially on FX, a top cable network."
"This agreement extends our relationship with a valued long-time partner and ensures that Fox Sports will have an incredibly strong college football slate to offer viewers well into the next decade," said Randy Freer, President of FOX Sports Networks.
"These 10 universities in the center of America stand together in their commitment," University of Missouri Chancellor and Big 12 Conference Board of Directors Chairman Brady Deaton said. "The Big 12 will generate per member television revenue at competitive levels of college athletics, while at the same time increasing exposure for our programs on national and regional platforms, and providing for comprehensive institutional rights retention."
"Dating back to last summer, the 10 continuing members of the Big 12 Conference were convinced that we had a very special future and there was a place in the collegiate marketplace for a major 10-team conference," said Joe Castiglione, University of Oklahoma Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Programs and Director of Athletics, who also serves as chair of the Conference's AD group. "We knew that a format that crowned true champions through head-to-head competition would be beneficial to the Conference, our fans and media partners."
When the agreement takes effect in the 2012-13 academic year, every Big 12 home football game will be broadcast on ABC, a FOX network, or by institutional platforms. Big 12 schools will have the option to retain rights to one home football game per season for distribution via institutional platforms. In all other sports, institutions will retain the rights to all home contests not selected for broadcast by ABC/ESPN or FOX Sports.
The Conference continues its long standing partnership with ABC/ESPN for its over-the-air Big 12 football and men's basketball rights, including the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship. The league's current ABC/ESPN agreement runs through 2015-16.
With its new Big 12 agreement in place, Fox Sports Media Group now boasts the most comprehensive portfolio of college product in the country, with nearly 2,000 marquee events showcased through national and regional platforms, including FOX Sports, FSN, the Big Ten Network, and FOX College Sports. The Big 12 solidifies Fox Sports' impressive roster of conference partners that includes Conference USA, ACC, Pac-10 and SEC.

About the Big 12 Conference
The Big 12 Conference will be comprised of 10 Universities - Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech - beginning July 1, 2011. The Big 12 is an NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics conference that encompasses five states with over 40 million people within its geographic footprint. More than 4,100 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the 23 sports sponsored by the Conference.
Annual Football Coverage
Note: Current ABC/ESPN contract provides for:
|18 games per season
|Men's Basketball
|95 games per season & Conference Championship
|Women's Basketball
|6 games per season
|Other Sports/Women's Basketball
|up to 25 games per season *
What are the terms of the agreement?
Thirteen years beginning with the 2012-13 season and running through 2024-25. Under the terms FOX will have the exclusive cable telecast rights to Big 12 football, a minimum of 40 other events (outside of football and men's basketball) each season and all Championships except men's basketball. The Conference has a separate contract with ABC/ESPN through 2015-16 for the broadcast of over-the-air football (18 games a season) and men's basketball. As a result of both agreements, all conference-controlled football games will be televised. Big 12 member schools also retain the television rights to one home football game a season, and all home sporting events not selected for telecast by ABC/ESPN or FOX; providing for the most extensive preservation of institutional rights among the major conferences.
What made continuing with Fox so appealing?
The Big 12 has been partnered with FOX since the Conference began operations. They have been long time quality partners, so continuing with them was an easy call for our members. Their desire to elevate the distribution of our games through a multi-platform approach and, obviously, their willingness to make a significant, long-term financial commitment were factors.
What are the financial details?
Under terms of the agreement, that is confidential. Of course the revenue stream is important, but there is so much more to this arrangement than finances. FOX has made a long-term investment in our future and believes the Big 12 can help its business grow. To that end, they have assured us they will promote college football like they have never promoted it before, and enhance the viewer experience with new and creative production elements. With the revenue boost this agreement provides, coupled with our existing ABC/ESPN contract, the Conference will generate per member revenue at the highest levels of college athletics. We also have the opportunity for an additional increase in television revenue when the Conference's over-the-air football and men's basketball television rights come up for renewal in four years.
How does this benefit fans?
For the first time, every home football game will be distributed. The agreement also calls for production of Big 12 championship events; carriage of a minimum of 40 non-football events per season, including 25 women's basketball games; institutions retain the rights to produce and broadcast all remaining home sporting events not selected through the Conference's television package; and full game replays on institutional platforms 72 hours after initial airing on FOX.
How does this agreement fit in with the Conference's overall television package?
It allows us to maintain our long-standing partnerships with FOX and ABC/ESPN, and assures that Big 12 programming continues to be delivered to fans of the Conference and its member schools on the two leading networks in college sports.
How does this impact the future of the Conference?
This landmark agreement positions the Conference with the best television arrangement in collegiate sports, taking into account revenue, exposure and preservation of institutional rights. It achieves these benchmarks while solidifying the long-term commitment of the member institutions to one another. Add to this that we will be back in the marketplace in four years with our Tier I football and men's basketball rights, and you can see why we believe that the best days of the Big 12 Conference are yet to come.
With this being an agreement for cable rights, what impact will this have on the Conference's future negotiation with ABC/ESPN for it's over the air rights?
One of the points consistently made last summer while the Conference was navigating through the realignment waters, was for patience; that our turn to generate significant television dollars would be realized when our opportunity to negotiate new television contracts came around. During the time since we signed our last television agreement, our peer conferences have realized significant increases in their television revenues when they had the opportunity to take their rights to market. We knew our turn would also come, and are now realizing the market value of the Conference and its 10-member schools. Our current television agreements make our revenue situation comparable to our peers and we anticipate a significant bump when the rights to our men's basketball and over-the-air football are available in four years.
How does this agreement impact institutional networks?
It puts our institutions in a very unique position. They are able to monetize their remaining rights through institutional distribution platforms that can include a single institution forming its own network, or a group of schools combining resources and inventory to structure a network.
There are naysayers who think the Conference is not going to survive long-term?
The presidents and chancellors of the 10 member institutions last summer made public statements that committed their institutions unequivocally and unconditionally long-term to the Conference. Their unanimous vote to approve this binding long-term contract is an explicit demonstration of that commitment. This Conference has never been stronger and the dedication of the member institutions to one another never deeper. The Big 12 is a vibrant conference with a tremendously bright future.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Rush hour traffic turned deadly Monday at the intersection of Georgetown Road and Iron Works Road.
"About 5:30 this afternoon, we got a call that a bicyclist and an SUV had been in a collision. When we arrived we found one person apparently deceased from the collision," explained Lt. Chris Young of the Lexington Police Department.
The front end of the SUV showed just how bad the crash was. The hood crumpled back, with a large dent in the middle of it, a signal light was jarred out of the socket and hanging by the wires.
"Anytime you hear of a vehicle versus a person or bicyclist certainly it's tough situation. Just the dynamics of a vehicle," said Lt. Young.
A police officer from Georgetown was the first to arrive, from there Lexington police joined in and began to study the scene in an attempt to learn what happened.
"It appears the bicyclist was attempting to cross Georgetown from Iron Works and the vehicle was coming inbound on Georgetown," described police.
However, police say they're not sure who had the right of way on the road, at this time, but they are talking to witnesses who saw the whole thing happen.
"Once they get all the witness statements and compare notes they'll be able to make a determination on that," answered Lt. Young.
The Fayette County Coroner's office identified the cyclist as Lawrence Crawford of Georgetown. No one else was injured in the crash.
Georgetown Road, heading into Lexington, was closed for hours as police surveyed and cleared the intersection.

SATURDAY, April 14, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Exercise can help improve breast cancer patients' quality of life while they undergo treatment, a new study indicates.
University of Miami researchers examined the physical activity levels and mental/physical health of 240 women with non-metastatic breast cancer (it hadn't spread to other parts of the body) who were recruited for the study four to 10 weeks after surgery.
The women who were physically active had less depression, less debilitating fatigue and a better quality of life during cancer treatment after surgery.
"Women who are physically active may also have more confidence in their own ability to continue with family-related, household, work-related or social activities, which bring meaning and satisfaction to their lives. This may lead to appraisals of lower fatigue, heightened quality of life and less depression," study author Jamie Stagl, a doctoral student in clinical health psychology, said in a university news release.
The same researchers previously found that stress management improves breast cancer treatment.
The study was slated for presentation Friday at the Society of Behavioral Medicine's annual meeting, in New Orleans.
Data and conclusions presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

It's the season for gratitude, a time of year when people make a special effort to list the things for which they are thankful.
As much as I wish this attitude would extend throughout the year (just like I wish folks would make every day Earth Day) it's still good to see and hear so many people expressing appreciation for their many blessings: family, friends, our dedicated service men and women protecting our freedom.
My own list includes these good things, plus a few others. Each morning when I turn on the shower, I am thankful for the miracle of abundant hot water. When I come home at night, I smile and give thanks for the welcoming warmth (in winter) and the comforting coolness (in summer) that my aging HVAC system still kicks out.
And when I'm sitting at my desk at work, I'm thankful for the Blattodea. Specifically, the cockroaches.
I've always been a sucker for the downtrodden and, let's face it, there aren't many organisms with worse reputations than our friends the roaches.
Yep, the creatures that rank low on virtually everyone's list – the ones that are associated with filth and pestilence, the stars of commercials for Orkin, Raid and Black Flag's Roach Motels – really do have some redeeming qualities.
The truth is, our planet would be a mess without them.
Of Earth's 4,500-ish cockroach species (the reason for the ish is, entomologists still are discovering new ones), only about 15 are considered pesty. Those other 4,485-ish types of roaches are working hard every day to make our planet a better place.
All organisms have a job to do, and for roaches that to-do list includes consumption of organic matter – dead plant and animal material that, were it not for cockroaches and other decomposers, would soon pile up and overwhelm us all.
While their intake is important, their output may be even more so. Cockroach, um, frass – the entomological term for bug poop – returns the valuable element nitrogen into the soil, making it richer and more fertile and enabling new plants to grow.
This natural process is vital to the success of ecosystems around the world. But it also has application in manmade environments.
Say hello to blatticomposting – a still-evolving technique that relies on roaches to convert food waste into compost. Researchers at the University of Michigan-Dearborn's Environmental Interpretive Center have been experimenting with the use of Eublaberus spp., tropical roaches from South America, to consume lunch leftovers like banana peels, apple cores and melon rinds. The facility's collection of approximately 2,000 individuals can make an apple disappear in hours, and was able to transform more than 50 pounds of fruit and vegetable waste into nutrient-rich compost in only a few months.
I mentioned earlier that I give thanks for roaches while I'm at work. As I write this, I'm watching a group of 200 or so Blaptica dubia, or dubia roaches, consume the core of the Malus domestica, or apple, I had with lunch today. Adults and nymphs alike are scurrying about – inside their escape-proof bin – to get a crack at the sweet treat. I know that tomorrow morning all that will remain of the apple is the stem and seeds. The roaches, meanwhile, will be looking for more.
Besides reducing my impact on the waste stream, these dubia roaches also help reduce the cost of feeding the various insect-eaters that are part of our education animal team here at Hickory Knolls. The captive dubias are an essential part of that food chain, just as wild cockroaches are integral parts of food webs worldwide.
I could go on about the Blattodea's many virtues, and how at the current time we have not just dubias, but also Blaberus discoidalis, the discoids, and Gromphadorhina portentosa, the hissing cockroaches, in our insect zoo here at Hickory Knolls. I could even discourse on their aesthetic appeal. (If you don't believe me, stop by Hickory Knolls some time. I would be glad to show you how they really do have cute faces.) But it looks like we're out of space, and out of time, constraints for which I'm sure you're … thankful.

Motorists can expect delays on Trent Road this week as workers repave the roadway from Simmons Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Motorists can expect delays on Trent Road this week as workers repave the roadway from Simmons Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Randy Hall, DOT assistant resident engineer, said the contractor S.T. Wooten was scheduled to begin work Tuesday and, depending on the weather, may finish by the end of the week.
The 2.3-mile section of the roadway being repaved does not initially include the intersection at Red Robin Lane, Hall said.
DOT plans to install a turn lane at that intersection and a larger drainage pipe. Once that work is complete, S.T. Wooten will come back and repave the section, Hall said.
�I�m sure we will get a lot of people calling asking why we didn�t pave that section,� he said. �But we don�t want to have to go back and tear out the new asphalt to do the work.�
The contractor will try to work in small sections, closing parts of one lane. Pilot cars may be used to help motorists around the work areas, but there will be no detours, Hall said.
�We figure a lot of people will detour themselves,� he said. �There are so many ways to get back onto (U.S.) 17.�
Statistics from 2010 show the highest volume of traffic on Trent Road each day is about 11,000 vehicles traveling between Highland Avenue and the U.S. 70 overpass. The lowest volume is 4,400 vehicles a day traveling between Chelsea Road and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The repaving is being done because there are several sections of the road that are cracked and bumpy, Hall said.
�It�s showing it�s age,� he said. ��It�s old and needs a new surface on it.�
Hall asked the public be patient and to drive slowly around the work areas.
�We will try to get in and out, leaving a good riding road behind,� he said.
The repaving project is part of a $692,000 contract for work that includes repaving Brices Creek Road and several streets in the James City area, Hall said.
Reed Smith, DOT division district engineer, said Trent Road is not being widened at this time. The Red Robin Lane intersection will be widened, but that is to put in a turn lane, he said.

A flight departing from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has been seized by a hostage-taker demanding the release of a federal prisoner. Members of the Port of Seattle Police and SWAT units raced to the scene. Officers were quick to respond to the call, rapidly surrounding the plane and setting up a command center a couple hundred yards behind the tail. Three hours later, the remaining hostages were rescued and the situation defused.
Thankfully, this was not an actual incident. Part 139 of the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) requires that airports conduct a full scale airfield disaster preparedness and response exercise every 36 months, and the Port of Seattle took this opportunity to include Police and SWAT in the exercise. For the past six months the Port of Seattle has been planning this exercise, working internally and with external partners to ensure its success.
The exercise began at 6:00 am with the hostage crisis. Local volunteer TSA agents acting as hostages were taken onboard the training plane to enjoy the experience up close. To give Port of Seattle Police and the local SWAT team a challenge, different scenarios and tactics were tried and evaluated as possible techniques to be used in the event of a real hostage situation onboard a plane. While they would not allow photographs of the actual assault, some of the tactics we could see included utilizing snow plows (Seatac has snowplows?) to block the plane from moving and various assault techniques.
Following the hostage rescue scenario it was the fire and rescue departments' time to shine. To get set up, over 100 volunteers positioned themselves in and around the plane. Each of the volunteers were assigned different injuries, from amputations to minor scratches, simulating what first responders might find in the event of a real plane crash. To make it more realistic, elaborate makeup and props were used to simulate the injuries: burns, broken bones, a couple of amputations and multiple impaling victims for good measure.
Soon after 9:00 am the second exercise began, a flour bomb (I'm told it was Gold Medal brand) was detonated nearby simulating the hostage taker going off the deep end. (It was unclear whether the police got him the first time or if there were multiple lunatics onboard). Fire crews rushed from their positions to meet the three minute response time required by the FAA. Once the fire crews arrived and extinguished the simulated fires, rescuers moved in and begun to triage the wounded. Passengers were moved to designated areas set up around the scene based on severity of injury. Those passengers walking around without major injuries were bused to a Non-Injured Care site, which is like an urgent care center. The remaining passengers are split into "Immediate" (the most urgent injuries to be transported to area hospitals), "Delayed" (the next priority for transport) and "Expectant" (the lowest priority for transport who are made as comfortable as possible while waiting).
While the exercise is used to evaluate the on-field personnel, it is equally an opportunity for the agencies involved to familiarize themselves with procedures. Some areas of focus were where to stage arriving ambulances prior to patient transport, how to enter the field for access to the crash site and the command structure while on scene. Fire and rescue personnel as far away as 20 miles respond to calls for assistance, so procedural awareness is key.
Back on the tarmac, victims were being wheeled away for their fake trip to the hospital, setup at an on-field hangar. Hopefully the experience and lessons learned from this drill are never needed, but it is a comfort to know that, in the event of an incident, emergency crews are ready to roll.

Summer News: Quick HitsPosted: July 29, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love, Rants and riffs 1 Comment
Oh sure, I gather information intending to share Deep Thoughts about it. But especially around this time of year, I look at my files and think, "Maybe it's better to just get the links out there and hit the beach."
So, um, here you go.
• In case you missed it: This is hands down the best obituary you will ever read. Here is a little more about the story behind the story.
• High school student carefully smacks down academic's paper asserting that "No Irish Need Apply" signs were a myth, politely delivers more smackdowns in comments section of article about said smackdown.
• A genealogy project led to a sad discovery in the deep waters of a lake: A family finally has answers about a man missing for decades.
• Would you like to learn more about the "ghost villages" of Ireland? Sure you would!
Yes, We Want That. And It's OK.Posted: July 28, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Advocacy, Rants and riffs, Records 2 Comments
Upcoming changes to the Arizona State Library Genealogy Collection are a sobering reminder that nothing's a sure thing for research collections.
It's vital for genealogists to lead the way in fighting for publicly accessible genealogy collections. But nothing is free and inevitably a contrarian question surfaces: Why should everyone pay for something only some of us want?
True, public funding isn't a drive-through window where each individual can order fries with that. Which is why many U.S. cities float hundreds of millions in municipal bonds to build stadiums and prop up sports franchises that can't make it on their own, regardless of the fact that not every citizen likes hockey, baseball, basketball or football.
Theoretically,* citizens in these places argued successfully to direct tax dollars toward pastimes that thrill some and not others. They made the case that supporting sports passion is good for everybody, including non-sports fans**.
If genealogy and local history enthusiasts make their case to the public and to their elected government, and actually succeed in gaining a far smaller amount of public bucks for THEIR passion, that's democracy working. It's not a bank heist.
There's no shame in advocating for what is important to us.
Note: Via Judy G. Russell at The Legal Genealogist, whose post is linked above, here are some contacts where you can express support for the Arizona genealogy community:
- Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan (www.azsos.gov/contact)
- Arizona State Librarian Joan Clark (www.azlibrary.gov/contact)
- Digital Content Director Laura Stone (< email@example.com>)
- Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (Contact Governor Ducey)
Update: See the message here from the Transitional Genealogists forum at Rootsweb: Although a lot of stuff is re-locating and digitizing, access should continue to the materials, though not always in book-bound form. Sounds like some good news. (But if you're in that neck of the woods, it can't hurt keep an eye on those guys to make sure the new order is everything they say it will be.)
Update 2: Unfortunately, it is definitely too soon to relax. Connie Sheets of the Arizona Genealogical Advisory Board reports in her comment below: "Due to space and staff limitations, it is likely that only a small fraction (perhaps 500 of 20,000) of the collection will remain available, although we're having a hard time getting specific answers to our questions." So stay tuned.
*I say "theoretically" because in the case of sports franchises, the key voices usually belong to big-time players with big-time access. Not exactly grassroots stuff. But basically, still wheels squeaking.
**Even though the jury is still out on that.
Nostalgia Etiquette Tips, Facebook EditionPosted: July 23, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: communities 1 Comment
Do you participate in nostalgic social media groups? Specifically, I mean the kind of Facebook group that's titled something like "You Know You're From …" etc., wherein people share photos and memories of a hometown or alma mater.
I love these groups, I really do, and I have learned a lot from them, along with the laughs and memories. But as with all socializing, bad habits invariably crop up. So I'm indulging myself with a few ideas on how to be a good citizen in a nostalgia group:
- Try letting people post vintage pictures of churches/schools/Scouting groups without instantly commenting about how nasty that priest/teacher/Scout leader was. Really, the rest of us got the point after the first five times you did that.
- A related point: Don't be mortally offended if not everyone agrees with how you remember a place, event or person. That's the thing about memories – the mileage varies.
- Consider that real people really still live in your old hometown and might be reading this nostalgia page. Comments such as "It'll never be that good again" or "It was never the same after they developed the old Smith farm" or "I could cry when I think about what's happened to that town" are in poor form, particularly if you haven't actually visited the place in a decade or more to see what it's really like today.
- A key concept here is sharing – sharing thoughts, sharing perceptions, sharing memories. My decades in our hometown were different from yours, and yours from mine, and ours from the memories being made there now, but the stories are all fascinating once you stop and actually hear them.
In short: Listen and think before you post, which is a good idea in any situation.
A Duffy's Cut FuneralPosted: July 13, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Duffy's Cut, Immigrants, Ireland 4 Comments
A while back I explored the story of Duffy's Cut, site of a mass grave where dozens of Irish immigrant laborers died during an 1832 cholera epidemic while building a railroad not far from Philadelphia. The Duffy's Cut Project, led by a trio of researchers from Chester County, Pa., has focused on excavating the site, learning more about the events of 1832, and very importantly, conveying dignity upon the dead.
Disturbingly, evidence has surfaced that not all the immigrants at the site died of cholera — some may actually have been murdered, probably in a savage attempt to contain the epidemic. Such appears to be the case with 29-year-old Catherine Burns of County Tyrone, whose remains were identified last December and will be brought back to Ireland this week for burial.
Burns, a widow, left Ireland with her father-in-law in the early summer of 1832 and soon vanished from the historical record. Examination of her skull indicated considerable "violence by means of a sharp implement," according to researchers.
Read more at Irish Central. At least Burns is finally going home.
Stories to Tell (And Save)Posted: May 25, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Military, NJ, NY 1 Comment
Today the AP reported on how one long-forgotten casualty of World War II had finally been rediscovered and inscribed upon his hometown's memorial. I'm glad to read those stories, where neglect ends in recognition.
A couple of years ago I did a pro bono bit of research, looking for a man killed in World War II who'd been "found," in a sense, at a garage sale. A medal, plus a copy of a citation, had surfaced in a box of miscellaneous items. The seller had no idea where they'd come from. Since the fallen soldier had lived in my hometown, the buyer hoped I could lead him to living descendants who might want the medal.
Unfortunately that didn't happen. The soldier was an only child, married but childless, and his widow never remarried. This garage-sale mystery ended with a cold trail and a bit of sadness that his story had ended up in a box in a stranger's garage.
On Memorial Day, it seems especially fitting to think of ways to preserve and protect veterans' stories. Here are a few examples. I'm sure there are others in other places. Maybe there's one near you, too.
• The Library of Congress' Veterans History Project is a national initiative to collect and preserve first-hand accounts from veterans.
• The Biography Project of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation collects biographical information on the men and women listed on New Jersey's memorial. At the link there's a list of the veterans for whom there are still no photographs; the foundation welcomes any clues from the public.
• And the NYU Veterans Writing Workshop provides opportunities for veterans to tell their own stories.
Walking Through Hudson County HistoryPosted: May 25, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Announcements, Events, Local history, NJ 1 Comment
Summer finally got here to New Jersey, even if we had our doubts that it ever would, back there in the dark days of February and March. What better way to celebrate than by getting your walking shoes on and exploring a bit of the past through a series of Hudson County history tours?
If you're in the area, take a look at the topics below. All tours cost $10, and reservations are required. (Be advised that all tours also require walking over a variety of distances. If you have any questions, contact the tour leader.) For more information, see the Hoboken Museum's tour page.
May 30: Lafayette History Tour (presenter: Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy) –Drs. Jenny Furlong and Rebecca Shapiro, historians, explore Jersey City's oldest neighborhood, including historic residences and such prominent landmarks as the American Type Foundry and St. Mary's Greek Byzantine Rites Church.
June 6: A Walking Tour of Bayview-New York Cemetery (presenter: Hudson County Genealogical & Historical Society) — Historian Dennis Doran of the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy leads a walk through a cemetery where many notable politicians and entrepreneurs from Jersey City's past are buried.
June 7: A Walk Along the Harsimus Branch Embankment on Sixth Street (presenter: Embankment Preservation Coalition) – The coalition will explore this imposing remnant of the Pennsylvania Railroad in downtown Jersey City, which they are working to transform into a nature habitat and public park as a segment of the East Coast Greenway.

'This Is A Girl I'd Like To Hang Out With'Posted: May 25, 2015 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Anne Meara, Rants and riffs Leave a comment
That's how Jerry Stiller described his first meeting with his eventual wife and partner, the comedian/actress/playwright Anne Meara.
The headlines over the obituaries for Meara, who died yesterday at age 85, consistently described her as the mother of actor Ben Stiller. But she is also deservedly remembered for the warmth and wit of her 1960s comedy routines with Ben's dad.
A lot of Stiller/Meara humor revolved around cultural differences that might not seem like a big deal today, but mattered a lot when I was growing up. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, an Irish Catholic girl marrying a Jewish guy was a big enough deal to provoke questions even if the couple were the last two humans on Earth, as the duo illustrated in a routine from the Ed Sullivan Show. (The routine covers the clip's first three minutes.)
"Mixed" marriages, fear of nuclear annihilation – who else could combine those two particular strands of mid-century angst so deftly?
As the AP notes, Stiller and Meara, for all their gently wry humor, were very much a part of the cutting-edge 1950s Beat scene in Greenwich Village. Not that they were noticing at the time, as Meara observed years later:
But WE thought that when the Village was REALLY happening was in the '20s, the F. Scott Fitzgerald days, before our time. People never know what's going on while it's happening. You think, during the Renaissance, people called it 'The Renaissance'?
Nailed it — talk about polishing off the topic of time-wasting nostalgia!
Anne Meara certainly made things happen whenever she was in the room. Rest in peace, and thanks for the smiles.

I am a first-grade teacher assistant at North Elementary School in Kings Mountain. I am writing you to tell you how important teacher assistants are in the school.
We do not just grade and file papers all day. We actually serve as another teacher in the classroom. The students read their homework reading books to me daily. I also administer Accelerated Reader tests while our students are in literacy stations.
Four days a week for an hour a day, I work with three students during Title One. This program helps students who struggle with reading. I have noticed growth with these students.
If teacher assistants are no longer in the schools, these children will fall through the cracks. One person cannot do the one-on-one work that needs to be done with these students.
I also drive the activity bus for field trips that my class goes on. This yea,r I drive one of our school buses two afternoons a week. The other three afternoons, I help with afternoon car duty.
If teacher assistants are no longer in the school, teachers would have to do these jobs. Who would be instructing the students while the teachers are doing our jobs?
Please consider these points as you make decisions that impact the future of our students and the future of North Carolina.

Mapping with Google Course for Genealogy
It is a self-paced course that includes videos, mini lessons and activities to apply what you've learned. None of it is graded, and you don't have to show anyone your work if you don't want to. However, there are class forums and Hangouts for a fuller learning experience.
I signed up for it and am through all of the published sections so far. Much of it I already knew how to do, but I did come up with a great idea to use Maps or Google Earth (I can't decide which) to illustrate the 100-year story of the Lenertz family line from Luxembourg to Los Angeles.
The Mapping with Google course ends June 24. I have no idea why Google limits the time frame for open courses, but it does. If this interests you, sign up soon so you'll have time to finish.
It's actually not necessary to do the whole course. You'll learn just from watching the videos.
You know how I say there are plenty of genealogy education opportunities that are outside the genealogy box? This is one of those examples. So get out there, sign up and start mapping.

Thanks for the heads up on the course! I use Google Maps a lot to plot addresses for genealogical purposes. I have maps for Chicago & its northern suburbs as well as Springfield, Illinois; Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas (and now Fredericksburg, too); German and Lithuaniam ancestors; Portland, Oregon (Ewald Pape's architectural works); Pensacola, Florida; and a few other places. It's a great tool, especially for seeing how buildings look today (if they still exist) with Street View.ReplyDelete
This is a great tip! I signed up for it after I read this post and I got my certificate for Google Maps and am now working on Google Earth. I could have finished the Maps section a bit sooner if I didn't get so carried away with my map project. I decided to do a whole thing about the Love family from Scotland to New Jersey. I knew a lot of the stuff in the course but not all of it, so I definitely learned more then I thought I would!ReplyDelete

Beef Noodle Soup Recipes
Comfort Food: Bowls of Rice Noodle Soup
In my opinion, a large bowl of warm rice noodle soup is the perfect, healthy comfort food. It's soothing, filling and gluten-free. Of course, a must-try is phở bò, which is my all-time favorite soup.
I've listed many options for you to try this fall season.
Full Recipe...
Pho Bo Recipe (Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup)
This weekend, we had a quiet dinner with only my family and I decided to make my dad the Vietnamese dish I think I make the best. There are several variations of Vietnamese beef noodle soup; I wanted to make Papa's favorite, which is the one with beef tendon, called phở bò tái gân.
We watched la Météo (weather forecast) yesterday on TV and it seems it's going to be raining all week!.The clear broth is absolutely delicious and it's perfect if you feel under the weather, which seems be happening to us given the rain!
Full Recipe...
Bun Bo Hue Recipe (Hue-Style Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup)
If you're familiar with phở, bún bò Huế is another beef rice noodle soup. The beef soup dish originated in the city of Huế, the old imperial capital of Vietnam. Like traditional phở bò, the broth of bún bò Huế is simmered with beef bones and Asian spices such as ginger, but the similarities pretty much end there. The real difference is that the broth is finished with lemongrass and red chiles.
I made a very basic soup with thinly sliced beef shanks, but some people are more adventurous and add pig knuckles, congealed pig blood called huyết (which I do not like), and serve shrimp paste on the side as a condiment. I garnished the soup with the commonly used bean sprouts, lime wedges, cilantro and raw sliced white onions, thinly sliced purple cabbage and shredded iceberg lettuce. Purple cabbage makes sense because it most closely resembles the texture of banana flowers, which are traditionally included in bún bò Huế. The taste is obviously different though.
Once the dish is prepared, everyone should roll up their sleeves and commence slurping down the bowl of beef broth in front of them. This is not a subtle dish; your taste buds will be bombarded with sweet, savory and spicy flavors. My mouth waters just thinking about it!
Full Recipe...
Vegetarian Pho (Pho Chay)
I made some beef pho again today -check out the new photo, I've just updated the post- and I felt like making a phở chay, vegetarian rice noodle soup for the rest of the family. The only extra work for pho chay, in addition to the beef pho (for the carnivores at home) is to fry some silken tofu and make the vegetarian broth.
Lulu, my husand, has been begging me to find Vegemite. I finally found some. It brings back good ol' memories from my trips to England as a child. Believe me, it tastes no different than Marmite. Vegemite is a combination of yeast byproduct and vegetable flavorings, and if you've never had it, it sort of has the taste of beef boullion cubes. Vegemite is not only great as a spread on a piece of bread, but can be a tasty addition to vegetable broth. Though not traditional, I used a bit in my pho broth to give it a more complex flavor.
Full Recipe...
Pho Bo Tai Nam (The Perfect Vietnamese Beef Rice Noodle Soup)
Gooooood morning, Vietnam! Phở is the National Vietnamese food. Phở bò tái nạm is a beef broth served with rice noodles and tender, thin pieces of flank steak flavored with traditional Vietnamese spices. It's one of my favorite Asian soups. When I visited Saigon 10 years ago, I remember having a big bowl of phở for breakfast! It's as good in the morning as it is for lunch and dinner. I think it's THE best street food in the world. Oh and it's pronounced "fuh" like the beginning of the word "fudge".
OK. Here goes... I might get in big trouble for handing out this recipe. I got it from my Tatie Danielle (aunt) who, unlike the one in the French comedy classic, is a sweetheart and an amazing cook, except that she does not share her recipes. She used to run a restaurant in the early 90s. She doesn't know the existence of this site yet and she's not very computer literate, so I hope that keeps me safe. At any rate, I figure I can't call myself a femme fatale if I don't do a little bit of recon and intel gathering. Shhh...
If - like me - you're a fan of Anthony Bourdain, you might be interested to know that Pho is one of his favorite dishes. Tony, this pho is for you .
