Wiser's 18 Years Old Limited Release (2010)
Review:Wiser's 18 Years Old Limited Release Canadian Whisky 96/100
a review By Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on June 4, 2010
I am going to admit right up front that this whisky has, for the last fifteen years or so, been one of my very favourites. This stretches well back in time before I was even considering a hobby as a spirits writer. My review, as a result, may at times be a little over zealous in its praise, but I guess I feel it is more honest that way, as I am truly passionate about the Wiser's 18 Years Old Canadian Whisky. I have believed, ever since my first swallow fifteen years ago. that it is one of the very best whiskies that Canada has to offer.
In fact it was a bottle of the Wiser's 18 Years Old which began my passion for collecting and writing about spirits. About five years ago, a bottle of this whisky which had been purchased in 1980, and then saved for about 25 years was opened for me when I was visiting my Brother-in Law. His sharing of a special whisky, led me to seek out a special whisky of my own that I could share with him. The whisky I found during that search was Wiser's Red Letter Whisky. But it was during that search for a special whisky that I sampled and tasted my way into a passion for spirits that resulted in my blog. So it is really a pleasure to finally review the current version of the whisky which started it all, Wiser's 18 Years Old Limited Release Canadian Whisky.
In the Bottle: 5/5
Pictured to the right is the most recent bottling of Wiser's 18 Years Old Whisky. The bottle which was forwarded to me to review by the National Brand Ambassador for Wiser's Canada, Robert Carson, is bottle number 2030 of 3500. The square design and professional labeling is attractive and sits very nicely on my whisky shelf. A new feature for the whisky is the addition of a solid high density cork which completes the presentation. When I brought the bottle out at a recent gathering of friends, The impressive display resulted in everyone wanting to try just a dram or two.
In the Glass 9.5/10
A rich mahogany and copper coloured whisky greeted my eyes when I poured a glass of Wiser's 18 into my glass. I tilted the glass and slowly turned it to impart a nice thick oily sheen upon the sides. Then I sat back and watched fat droopy droplets of whisky slide slowly back into the whisky. The initial nose was one of butterscotch and oak spices. But.. as I waited for a moment, the nose coalesced into a deep dark rich baking spice aroma with dark brown sugars, rich toffee, vanilla, and wisps of cinnamon. It is a wonderfully rich aroma. Behind the rich baking spices is a rich oak sap imparting a sturdy backdrop of oak wood and tannin. This is the type of whisky aroma which makes my mouth water in anticipation of what is coming next.
In the Mouth 57.5/60
Coming back to the Wiser's 18 Years Old whisky was certainly a treat that I looked forward to. I have had little time since I began my blog to go return to of my personal favourites. It was also a little daunting to put the Wiser's 18 through my rigorous review methodology. What if the new blend disappointed me? I should not have worried.
As I took my first sip, the oil from the whisky coated my mouth with a sweet toffee and a complex array of oak tannins. The whisky is very soft on the palate with a demerara (rum-like) sweetness that I found hard to resist. It has a full flavour with hints of treacle, waves of butterscotch and toffee, and oak spices which seem to have been grabbed from the barrel at just the right time. Vanilla wades in with hints of hot cinnamon making the complexity soar while maintaining a rigorous balance. If the whisky had been aged any more the resulting spirit may have began to turn woody; if it had been aged any less, the full bounty the oak has to offer may not have been realized.
For my palate the complexity and balance are perfect. This is a mouth-watering whisky with a fullness and richness which stands as tall as any spirit I have tasted.
In the Throat 14.5/15
The finish is a wave of spicy toffee that leaves me practically panting for another mouthful. My throat is left with a haunting trails of vanilla and a rum-like sweetness that delights me. The back of my palate feels the oak spices, and I can taste the butterscotch and toffee long after the glass is consumed.
The Afterburn 9.5/10
The last time I tried the Wiser's 18, it was in the older bottle style, and I think Wiser's has taken it up a notch in the new Limited Edition Release. The whisky is softer, fuller and more complete than I remember it. In fact I believe that this is the highest score I have given to a whisky on my blog so far. And the score is well deserved!
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Cocktails and Recipes
I have developed a bit of a reputation as an anarchist when it comes to enjoying my whiskies and rums in cocktails and bar drinks even when they are premium spirits. In fact, I receive what can best be termed as 'hate mail' just about every week on my blog from persons who think that it is sacrilege to mix a fine spirit with anything but water or ice. If that is their preference, I will not criticize, but I will disagree. I believe in the sheer joy of experimentation and revel in the possibility of finding more than one way to enjoy myself with a fine whisky.
With that in mind, I have a few suggestions for the enjoyment of this particularly fine whisky. However, I will begin by suggesting that sipping Wiser's 18 Years Old Limited Release Canadian Whisky at room temperature in a rocks glass is a wonderful whisky experience. I found the addition of an ice-cube or two is also very pleasant. One of the real treats when drinking the Wiser's 18 neat or on the rocks is the wonderful smell in the glass when you are finished. A bonanza of whisky aroma which lasts and lasts.
But as I indicated, I also like to mix even the most premium of spirits….
For my recipe suggestion., I decided to go in a classic direction. The Old Fashioned Cocktail is one of those which has stood the test of time and any whisky recipe which has its roots in The Old Fashioned is off to a great start. The variation that I constructed for Wiser's 18 is called The Canadian Old Fashioned and it is made as follows:
The Canadian Old Fashioned
2 oz Wiser's 18 Years Old
1/4 oz Curacao (I use Grand Curacao)
1/4 oz Lemon Juice
dash Angostura Bitters
3 ice cubes
Build in a rocks glass on ice
Garnish with an orange peel zest
Looking at the Canadian Old Fashioned cocktail I couldn't resist lengthening the drink into a more typical Canadian style. (We love our tall drinks in Canada) I call this new bar drink, The Long Tall Canadian.
2 oz Wiser's 18
1/4 oz Grand Curacao
1/4 oz Lemon Juice
1 barspoon simple sugar
dash Angostura Bitters
3 ice cubes
sparkling water
Add the first five ingredients to rocks glass over ice
Stir and add the sparkling water
Garnish with an orange peel zest
I guess I should have used a tall Collins glass for the picture but I quite like the new set of Wiser's glasses recently forwarded to me by the great folks at Wiser's Canada.
And Remember, the Aim of my blog is not to help you drink more…It is to help you drink better!
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I just bought a bottle based on your review. Just sipping some neat as I type. Very nice all round and your review is very accurate in my opinion. Bottle 842 0f 3500. I think that I prefer the 18s taste profile more than the alberta 30. I will have to try them side by side some time. What I find most interesting is that I still have a hankering for the unique flavour of Last Mountain Rye even while sipping this exceptional whiskey.
March 15, 2012 at 11:28 am
This whisky is very smooth. That being said that's really about all this whisky has going for it. The flavours are nice but it its hard to tell because they are so weak and they don't linger either. This is a nice whisky for people who usually don't like whiskey because the flavouring is so unbelievably mild. In conclusion I did not dislike this whisky whatsoever but its so uncomprehendingly weak that I really didn't get that much enjoyment out of it either. The Alberta Premium 30 year old is 3 times better and $20 cheaper.

Had my first go at this whisky last Friday in a line up of 5 single malt scotches and Wiser's small batch – the 18yr stood up very well. The aroma coming off the glass was spicy, creamy, and cedar like. The palate was very smooth although less complex than I found the nose to be. I immediately placed this whisky on the shelf next to Danfield's 21 and Alberta Premium 25. A top notch rye! I must sit down for a second tasting this week.

I live somewhat close to the McCormick Distillary in Westin, MO Their adjoining store is the only place I can find Wiser's in the Midwest.
They have Wisers DeLuxe, Wisers DeLuxe 10 year, and Wiser's Very Old (which the bottling looks the same as this 18 y.o.).
Have you tried the Wisers DeLuxe 10? if so, how is it?
What is a better Value – Wisers' 10 for $25 or Wisers' 18 for $45
November 9, 2010 at 6:30 am
Hi Chip,
How would you compare Wisers Legacy to the Wisers 18yo?
My dad has been a whisky lover since I was kid, and he is a faithful 'wisers guy' (he says crown is too smooth). I really want to buy him a bottle of wisers for christmas for him to enjoy this holiday season and it would be nice to try something different.. would you suggest Wisers Legacy or 18yo?
September 13, 2010 at 9:46 pm
This is my second favourite Canadian Whisky to date. The Canadian Club 20 year is the only one I find more appealing, yet similar. However, there is a 30 year CC I have not yet tried.
June 4, 2010 at 10:47 am
Great review of the Wiser's lineup Chip! You're convincing me to jump on a spirit I've never had too much appreciation for (whiskey in general). What would you recommend for someone who has a strict love for rum? I was thinking of giving the Wiser's Small Batch a try, based on your review.
Thanks again!

Leavenworth, Pleasant Ridge each take second at conference meets; Lansing, Immaculata earn fifth place finishes
The beginning of the end took place this weekend for local wrestling teams.
All four area squads competed in their respective league meets, marking the finish of the regular season and start of postseason action.
Two schools stood out, Leavenworth and Pleasant Ridge, as each captured second place overall finishes. Lansing and Immaculata both placed fifth.
Below is a complete rundown of each individual school's highlights.
The Pioneers had nine placers, enabling the team to accrue 175 total points. That output helped LV beat out Shawnee Mission East's 174, and come up 28.5 points shy of Olathe North.
Leavenworth will compete in its 5A regional tournament at Topeka Seaman this Saturday morning.
Brad Young, sixth at 106
Danny Wilson, first at 113
Isaiah Myers, sixth at 126
Danial Wilson, third at 132
Peter Gardner, fifth at 170
Josh Ammel, fourth at 182
Kenneth Sculley, second at 195
Jesse Colver, second at 220
Nathan Butler, first at 285
Pleasant Ridge
Nine Rams took second or better at the 2013 Delaware Valley League wrestling meet.
The effort allowed Pleasant Ridge to compile 142 points, which was just 16 short of ACCHS for the overall crown.
"It felt like the team woke up and wrestled with an intensity, sense of urgency knowing that regionals are on our doorstep," PR coach Darren Weber said. "Colton Doty wrestling at 220 really stood out. He weighs about 190 and has done a really good job wrestling the last two weeks while giving up so much weight.
"In general, I just felt like our whole team wrestled the best it has since December and really got some momentum heading into regionals."
Ridge will participate in its 3-2-1A regional tournament starting this Friday morning at Onaga.
Clayton Gum, first at 106
Tony Weber, first at 113
Blake Graham, first at 132
Nick Hyde, third at 138
Nate Amos, second at 160
Jared Johnson, first at 170
Logan McKinney, first at 182
Aaron Brown, second at 195
Colton Doty, second at 220
The Lions were led by six individuals, two of which were able to secure silver medals — Sky Summers and Caleb Ward.
With their help, Lansing came in fifth overall at the 2013 Kaw Valley League tournament.
"We were up and down throughout the day," Lions coach Ron Averill said. "We were extremely excited for Caleb and Sky being in the finals. Really impressed with the way they have been improving.
"We were also very excited about Will Gering's win for third because he had lost to that opponent earlier in the day. Will came back with a completely different attitude and beat him."
The Lions will participate in its 5A regional tournament at Topeka Seaman Saturday.
Jordan Girard, third at 113
Sky Summers, second at 120
Will Gering, third at 138
Camden Chiles, fourth at 160
Caleb Ward, second at 182
Treyvon Taylor, fourth at 195
Like all season, the Raiders took a small squad to the DVL meet, yet did some big things.
Four out of the five Imac participants placed, allowing the team to earn fifth overall.
"I think they did a great job," Raiders coach Billy Hancock said. "We started out really slow and did not have a good first round. We had a talk after that and they just came out and let all hang out.
"Bruce beat two kids that he had lost to earlier this year for first and overall, they just built up some great momentum to take into this weekend's regional."
Immaculata will participate in its 3-2-1A regional tournament starting this Friday at Onaga.
Jared Clothier, second at 132
Max Campbell, third at 145
Bruce Stanley, first at 152
Sam Linder, fourth at 160

Sears Holdings has reached an agreement that will allow the retailer to sell an additional 140 locations.
Under terms of an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), 140 Sears properties that were protected from being sold through a ring-fence agreement will be released in exchange for $407 million. Sears will use the funds for "financial flexibility" and to provide contributions to pension plans for the next two years, the company said.
"This agreement with the PBGC is another positive step forward which, upon closing, will provide our company with financial flexibility while supporting our commitment to honor our obligations to the associates and retirees covered by the pension plans," saidEdward Lampert, Sears Holdings chairman and CEO. "While the lower interest rate environment has had a significant, unfavorable impact on the pension plans' funding, Sears Holdings has demonstrated its commitment to honoring this obligation."
Sears has to make a$37 millionquarterly payment to the pension plans inDecember 2017. Following the$407 millioncontribution, Sears will be relieved of the obligation to make further contributions to the pension plans for approximately two years, aside from $20 millionsupplemental payment due in Q2 2018.
Through the closing of stores, the sale of assets, and the sale of the Craftsman brand, Sears said it has reduced the number of participants in the pension plan from 400,000 to 100,000.
The retailer also reported that it had total revenues of approximately$3.7 billionduring the third quarter of 2017, compared with$5 billionin the prior year quarter, with store closures contributing to over half of the decline. Total comp store sales declined 15.3% during the quarter with Kmart store comp sales falling 13% and Sears comp sales decreasing 17%.

Self-Help Interest Group
The Changing Shape of Self-help/Mutual Aid
The key concepts our interest group revolves around - for instance, 'self-help', 'mutual support' and 'peer-assisted' - can be understood in broad-brush terms. In doing so, the phenomena they refer to might be said to appear everywhere - in the workplace, social gatherings, big institutions, community spaces, on the internet, or at home. This raises a challenge for those of us interested in studying and/or promoting self-help and mutual support (SHMS) practices: how can we draw boundaries that allow us to distinguish where it is from where it is not? If we cannot any longer, perhaps the distinctive study of SHMA risks fading into a sort of generalized irrelevance.

Sheriffs deputies arrested a 44-year-old La Plata County man last week on charges of sexual assault and domestic violence. He was booked Tuesday into La Plata County Detention Center.
Vance Lee Valencia allegedly assaulted an adult female victim at a home west of Hesperus early Tuesday morning, the La Plata County Sheriffs Office said in a news release. The assault resulted in multiple injuries.
Valencia, who has a criminal history of domestic violence, was being held on a $250,000 bond, the release said.
Anyone who has information related to this case is asked to call Investigator Jim Hendricks at 382-7018.

Our View
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce last week threw its weight in support of immigration reform.
"We're determined to make 2014 the year that immigration reform is finally enacted," Chamber President Tom Donohue said during his annual "State of American Business" address Jan. 8.
What reforms the chamber endorses were left to the imaginations of audience members, as the prepared text of Donohue's speech offers nothing beyond that quote.
The chamber's website touts the need for "commonsense" reforms. Who can't agree with that?
The devil resides in the details of any serious reform proposal, not in the broad strokes. The definition of words such as "commonsense" and "fair" are most troublesome.
It seems everyone in or around Washington is talking about reform.
President Obama has promised to make immigration reform a top priority in 2014, when not focusing on creating jobs, improving education, energy, protecting the environment, reducing inequality or any of the other big issues he's promised to make a priority.
Senate Democrats with a few Republican allies last year passed a comprehensive bill. It would:
• Create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already here, contingent upon securing the border and better tracking of people here on visas.
• Reform the legal immigration system, including awarding green cards to immigrants who obtain advanced degrees in science, math, technology or engineering from an American university.
• Create an effective employment verification system to ensure that employers do not hire illegal immigrants in the future, requiring prospective workers to verify legal status and identity through a non-forgeable electronic system.
• Allow more low-skill workers into the country and allow employers to hire immigrants if they can demonstrate they couldn't recruit a U.S. citizen, and establishing an agricultural worker program.
These are things we've generally supported before. We are not particular that they be rolled up into one bill, which gets closer to the position of House Republicans.
More and more members of the GOP are warming up to immigration reform, though they are leery of a large, comprehensive bill. Many favor, at least in broad terms, bits and pieces of the Senate's bill. For the majority, however, providing anything more than legal residency for carefully vetted illegal immigrants is a non-starter.
House Speaker John Boehner said last week that House Republicans will release a set of working principles for their measures later this month.
The Los Angeles Times reported last week that Boehner favors a series of narrower bills that would fast-track legalization for undocumented farm laborers, offer residency for those brought into the country illegally as children and increase the number of visas available for immigrants with technical skills.
Absent from these measures is a wholesale pathway to citizenship for the majority of the 12 million, or "amnesty" that is anathema to the conservative wing.
These limited bills suit our purposes as well as the Senate's comprehensive package. It seems unlikely, however, that they go far enough for Democrats who are actively courting the Hispanic vote.
We've been here before. Even with so many people talking about reform, we have our doubts much will happen in the run up to this fall's midterm election.

Members of the Occupy Boston movement, students from area colleges, and union workers march through downtown Boston, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
As the name suggests, there's a lot to like about Pleasanton. Located thirty miles southeast of Oakland, the upscale enclave is a perennial contender in "best" or "wealthiest" city competitions, and on a Saturday morning in February it's easy to see why. The sun is shining, a nearby farmers' market is bustling and tan people on bicycles worth more than many used cars are zooming past. Which makes the scene at one end of the quaint downtown—where a line of a dozen cops keep close watch on a boisterous crowd of union activists and Occupy Oakland members—all the more incongruous.
The out-of-towners are gathered to mark an anniversary. Two years earlier, management at the nearby Castlewood Country Club had locked out its workers after trying to slash healthcare benefits. "They told us they had a philosophical problem with paying family healthcare," says Sarah Norr, an organizer with UNITE HERE Local 2850, which represents the workers. According to the union, the move would have resulted in a wage cut of 40 percent for many of the employees, particularly egregious at a club whose members reportedly pay up to $25,000 to join, along with a monthly fee of more than $600. (I was promised exact figures from a Castlewood spokesperson but never received them.)
Despite twice-daily pickets, an NLRB complaint against the club for unfair labor practices and the disruption of a large tournament last summer, Castlewood's management has been unwilling to budge. So in January workers took their campaign to Occupy Oakland. After detailing a fight that seemed tailor-made for the movement—the wealthy versus the workers, amid a backdrop of palm trees and golf tees—Occupy voted unanimously to support the campaign. In Pleasanton, that support has added a noticeable jolt of energy and visibility to the fight, where at least 100 Occupy Oakland members have turned out, complete with a nine-person band and a satirical "Save the 1%" rally, with people dressed in suits carrying signs like Golfing Is a Human Right.
"Instead of looking above for solutions, we look to the people next to us," Barucha Peller, an Occupy activist, tells the workers. "Therefore, the fight of Castlewood workers is also our fight, and gives us strength. All right, let's shut it down!" When the large march reaches the country club, the deed has already been done: fearing disruption, the club has closed its doors for the day. It was enough to make a person believe one of the signs I noticed on the march: Labor + Occupy = Working Class Victory.
* * *
Nothing, of course, is so simple—especially not in Oakland, where two port shutdowns have led to increasingly strained relations between Occupy Oakland and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. Both shutdowns—on November 2 and December 12—were called by Occupy in solidarity with the ILWU's fight against grain terminal operator EGT in Longview, Washington. The conflict began last year, when EGT brought in another union to work its $200 million terminal. This threatened the jurisdiction in the grain industry of the ILWU, whose master agreement covers 4,000 workers in the Pacific Northwest. If one company could defy the ILWU and chip away at the hard-won standards guaranteed by the agreement, others would almost certainly follow suit.

Matthew Dion
April 09. 2014 5:47PM
The U.S. Marshals Service District of New Hampshire/Joint Fugitive Task Force has named Matthew Thomas Dion as New Hampshire's fugitive of the week.
Dion, 38, is wanted on a warrant from Manchester police for possession of child pornography, but he is also wanted for questioning in the homicide deaths of his parents, whose bodies were discovered in an arson fire at their home on March 24. He has not been seen since the fire. Dion is described as 5-feet-10, 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Police say he may have altered his appearance to avoid arrest. He was reportedly driving a white four-door 2009 Nissan Altima with New Hampshire plate 341 0587.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend a fugitive, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632 or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or text "NHTIP" with any information to TIP411.

Hypertension is often diagnosed during a routine visit to your doctor. Blood pressure is measured using a cuff around your arm and a device called a sphygmomanometer. You may be asked to sit quietly for 5 minutes before checking your blood pressure.
For most people, it takes more than one high blood pressure reading to diagnose high blood pressure. If your blood pressure reading is high, a second measurement will be done a few minutes later. If your blood pressure is still high, you will probably be asked to come back for repeat blood pressure checks. High blood pressure diagnosis will be made using the average of more than 2 readings over 130/80 mmHg during more than 2 separate visits.
Sometimes people become anxious at the doctor's office. This may result in a higher than normal blood pressure reading. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home or in another location.
In some cases, you may be asked to wear an ambulatory blood pressure monitor. This device measures your blood pressure regularly throughout the day as you go about your activities. It is usually worn for 24 hours, even while sleeping.

For the sixth season in a row, the Neosho Wildcats are Class 3, District 3 wrestling champions.
For the sixth season in a row, the Neosho Wildcats are Class 3, District 3 wrestling champions.
As they are prone to doing, the Wildcats flat out dominated the competition yet again as they walloped the second place Carthage Tigers, 300-168.
In all, the Wildcats qualified 13-of-14 wrestlers to state. Of those 13, 12 wrestled for district titles on Saturday with eight — Kyler Rea (106 pounds) River Buttram (120), Nate Rodriguez (132), Kyle Hostetter (145), Sam Williams (152), Jacob Brock (182), Christian Lopez (220), and Aaron Clardy (285) — being crowned district champions.
There are highlights galore amongst those eight champions. For instance, freshman Rea improved his record to 42-4 overall in his first varsity season, while senior Nate Rodriguez (51-1) and junior Buttram (37-6) won their third district titles. Kyle Hostetter and Sam Williams — who returned this week from an injury that kept him out for a good portion of the season – won their first ever varsity gold medals.
But perhaps the biggest highlight came at 220 pounds, where Neosho's Christian Lopez avenged three losses this season to McDonald County's Jordan Moffett by edging the senior 3-1 in the title match. The loss was Moffett's first of the season (42-1), after he'd previously beaten Lopez at the Neosho Tournament, in an overtime victory at McDonald County a month ago, and again two weeks ago at the COC Tournament.
Others who will advance for the Wildcats are John Williams (113 pounds, second place), Dakota McGarrah (126, second), Jason Box (138, third), Chance Branstetter (160, second) and Ben Elledge (195, second).
"We've been training for something special since after Easter last year," Phillips said. "These guys, they've invested a lot. That's the thing; we don't have an offseason, and these are the results we work for. We've just got to keep reminding ourselves of that special finish we're trying to hunt down."
That special finish, of course, is a state championship. The Wildcats, ranked No. 2 in the state behind Kearney, have their eyes set on the ultimate prize.
"We showed them a highlight video on Thursday, our 2010 (state championship) highlight video," Phillips said. "We did that to show them that on day one we were good, day two we were better, and by day three we were our best. That team continued to stay hungry and continued to get better. I hope this (district title) gives them that vision of something special becoming clear for us in this quest we have to represent our school, program and community in a very positive light next week."
Rea won his match with a pin of Dakota Jones (Carthage) in 1:30. Buttram scored a major decision over Gage Gartner (Carthage), 11-3. Rodriguez scored a major decision over Seth Logan (Carthage), 9-1. Hostetter scored a decision over Jacob Dalton (McDonald County), 6-1. Brock won a major decision (13-0) over Austin Beushausen (Lebanon), 13-0. Clardy won by decision over Blaine Perry (Carthage), 6-2.
"Today was a great boost of confidence for them," Phillips said. "This week is a huge steppingstone for ourselves in getting up for that tournament we're searching for. Believing and having that faith is crucial when you're facing the best of the best in the state of Missouri."
The Mustangs, meanwhile, are sending five to the state tournament as Trevor Young (126, fourth place), Josh Kinser (132, fourth), Jacob Dalton (145, second) and Jordan Moffett (220, second) advanced.

Central captures top FIRST awardBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Sunday News
March 02. 2013 5:23PM
MANCHESTER -- No New Hampshire team made the finals of the regional FIRST Robotics Competition on Saturday, but the squad from Manchester Central High School walked away with the event's most prestigious honor.
The C.H.A.O.S. team, which won last year's regional, captured the regional chairman's award, which honors a team that "best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST." It also earned an invite to the FIRST Championship in St. Louis, Mo., next month.
The competition's winning alliance was made up of teams from Maine, New York and Canada. The event drew thousands of spectators to the Verizon Wireless Arena to watch robots try to score points firing flying discs.
Teams from Manchester, Concord and Nashua made the quarterfinals, but the Milford Area Youth Homeschoolers Enriching Minds team was the only Granite State squad to make the semifinals.
Mechanical failures short circuited some local teams' hopes.
Senior Brittany Lacy from Nashua said a broken switch cut power to another robot in her alliance, hurting the group's scoring and defense.
And Central team member Jamison Couture said a fellow team's robot couldn't load the discs because "their shooter deck got stuck in place."
The Central senior's wardrobe reflected his robotics team's colors - one orange soccer sock and one green one.
At least that was cooler than the eagle costume worn by Isaac Tracy, the mascot for the Standish, Maine, team. By the finals, he had shed the costume's body.
"It got too hot," he said. "Real hot, blazing."
Duct tape ruled, or more precisely the Duct Tape Dragons from South Portland, Maine.
Team member Josh Sikora donned a vest made out of orange and blue duct tape to match the team colors. "If you can duck it, chuck it," read the back.
Sikora, part of the winning alliance, said capturing the championship was one of the most intense feelings he ever experienced.
"I'm probably going to wear (the vest) for the rest of my life," Sikora said. "I'll never take it off."
The other winning teams hailed from Massena, N.Y., and Toronto, Canada.
Brenda Rand of Litchfield sat in the stands, waiting to see if Campbell High's team would be called to fill in for a faltering robot in the final rounds. Her son, Joshua, was on the team while her husband, James, served as the lead mentor.
Rand said students not involved in the competition marvel at the robotic team's work when they see the robot at school.
"It's hip to be square," she said. "It's the geek squad. It's cool."

YREKA – As Siskiyou County nears its one-year anniversary since thieves broke into the courthouse and made off with over $1 million in gold, officials issued search warrants on Tuesday and are currently searching for two persons of interest, said Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey. He declined to disclose the identity of the two suspects.
The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) issued two search warrants in Contra Costa County and two in Shasta County.
"Unfortunately, we did not locate the two main persons of interest," said Lopey. "Right now we are attempting to track them down. We have a team working to locate them."
Lopey explained that when the two persons of interest are located, their DNA will be collected to determine whether it matches the DNA discovered at the crime scene in the Siskiyou County Courthouse on Feb. 1, 2012.
While authorities have yet to make an arrest, Lopey said officials collected possible evidentiary items during their searches that will be analyzed.
The search warrants were the result of what Lopey described as "a flurry of new leads" since the county supervisors approved an increase in the reward offering from $15,000 to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the gold thieves.
These search warrants were the first to be executed in pursuit of the burglars.
"This is just one stage of this investigation and fortunately the information we are receiving is very encouraging. But we still have a lot of work to do," said Lopey. "We are working very diligently to solve this crime and we are confident we will achieve positive results in the near future."
Anyone with information about the Siskiyou County Courthouse gold heist is urged to call the SCSO at 841-2911.
When Siskiyou County Courthouse employees arrived to work on the morning of Feb. 1, 2012, they discovered that the bulletproof glass case at the facility entrance had been punctured and the multi-million dollar gold display had been raided. The thieves made off with the large gold nuggets and left the small pieces.
Authorities discovered an open window at the courthouse, which is believed to have been the entry route.
The courthouse surveillance video footage that was made public during the initial stages of the investigation revealed two masked men attempting to pry open the glass case with a crowbar. Then, they flipped off the lights and finished the job in the dark.
The gold case was secured with a silent alarm which failed to activate during the burglary. Alarm company representatives subsequently examined the system and determined the cause of the failure, although for security reasons, county officials declined to disclosed the reason for its malfunction.
The gold collection was the only one of its kind, and was insured by the county. The stolen gold was appraised at $1.25 million, although the county's insurance carrier is conducting an independent appraisal, said Assistant Siskiyou County Administrator Rose Ann Herrick.
She said thus far, the county has received a $1,080,000 payment from the insurance carrier, and an additional $80,000 to $90,000 is expected to be allocated to the county in the near future.
The board of supervisors recently took action to set aside $50,000 for the gold theft reward, $26,000 for an appraisal of the remaining gold and gemstone collection and $1 million for a county museum endowment.

Economic shaping: Enough with the industrial policy
Well-meaning politicians of both major parties continue to act as though business owners and executives have never considered investing in worker training and education. If only the government would subsidize such investments, they say, we could get this economy going. Don't they know that businesses do this all the time, and have for generations.
Take Annie Kuster, member of Congress from New Hampshire's 2nd District. Kuster last month introduced what she calls the "Workforce Development Investment Act." It would "provide tax credits to employers who collaborate with educational institutions to equip students with the skills they need to compete for well-paying jobs," as her office describes it.
The bill would give businesses annual tax credits of up to $10,000 for things like "(h)elping develop curriculum" and "(p)roviding internships, apprenticeships, or other hands-on educational opportunities for students."
Provide an internship, get a tax credit. Help develop a curriculum that trains people to work at your company (so you don't have to spend money training them yourself), get a tax credit.
Never mind that the New Hampshire Community College System already forges these kinds of partnerships (some of them funded, alas, by a federal grant).
Not to be outdone, Reps. John Cebrowski, R-Bedford, and David Borden, D-New Castle, advocate developing a state industrial policy to both attract and develop high-tech manufacturing businesses.
These are only the latest in the endless series of proposals to use the heavy hand of the state to shape the economy in the way politicians think it ought to be shaped. The economy would do much better if politicians would stop grabbing and pulling and tugging at it and would just leave the people free to reinvent it in ways no politician will ever imagine.

Researchers from KU School of Medicine-Wichita are looking for Spanish-speaking families to participate in a study to help teach parents and children ways of managing mood-disorder symptoms.
Researchers from KU School of Medicine-Wichita are looking for Spanish-speaking families to participate in a study to help teach parents and children ways of managing mood-disorder symptoms.
To participate, families must have at least one child age 8 to 12 years old with a mood disorder.
According to the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Latinos are identified as a high-risk group for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Youth Risk Survey found a 10.7 percent attempted suicide rate among Latino youth, compared with a 7.3 percent rate among African American youth and a 6.3 percent rate for White, non- Latino youth.
Tragically, due to lack of cultural knowledge, Latino youth with mental illness are generally misdiagnosed as having anger problems or just conduct disorders.
Participants will receive two free assessments and 20 free therapy sessions. Children and their families may continue any other mental health services or medications during this study. A parent or guardian must participate with the child. Families will receive a $50 gift card after completing each assessment.
Mood disorders include depression and bipolar disorder. These conditions occur in approximately 2 percent to 3 percent of children younger than 13 years old. Symptoms may include prolonged sadness, irritability, loss of interest in daily activities, changes in sleep or appetite, suicidal thoughts, elevated moods, and reckless behavior.
Those interested in learning more or participating in the study should call (316) 293-2667.
The therapy being adapted for this study is "Psychoeducational Psychotherapy." Dr. Klaus' project was chosen to be a Frontier's Pilot Project and grant funding was provided by a contract between the Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education (WCGME) and the Kansas Bioscience Authority under the direction of the WCGME Research Council.

Casino revenues: Who will resist the temptation?
March 16. 2013 2:29AM
When the U.S. economy finally takes off, so will state tax revenue. New Hampshire's budget woes are not caused by a lack of taxing power. They are caused by a lack of economic growth combined with a lack of state spending restraint, which is why the rush to authorize a slot-machine casino in New Hampshire is so short-sighted.
Last week the state Senate voted 16-8 to bring a casino to New Hampshire. Support came from the usual suspects - Lou "Diamond" D'Allesandro, D-Millenium Gaming, and Chuck Morse, R-Salem, principally - and new converts. Sen. Molly Kelly, D-Keene, for example, is not what one would call a gambling enthusaist. She voted for a casino, she said, because the state really needs the money.
The state's current revenue problems, though, are more economic than structural in nature. Grafting a casino onto the state's revenue structure will not solve them. Though we are not sure how well she gets the first part, Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth, was a voice of reason last week in explaining the second.
Casino revenues, she correctly observed, are never as robust as promised, and they are always unreliable. They will be no panacea for New Hampshire's current budget problems, and the tide of other problems that washes in with them will cause trouble for this state forever after.
Though we seldom see eye to eye with Sen. Fuller-Clark, she deserves a lot of credit for refusing to be seduced by the Casino God's promise of revenue riches. The economy's temporary struggles are no justification for permanently changing the culture of New Hampshire. May the House remember that.

Another View -- Larry Jones: After these 'common sense' gun restrictions, then what?
Obama vows to fight for assault-weapons ban, other controls on guns
The politicians say we need to enact a "common sense" ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. But recently a criminal used a shotgun in another "gun-free zone" school shooting. So should the politicians be successful at infringing the right of good people to own an ugly gun, i.e. the purposely and deceptively misnomered "assault rifle," and at confiscating them and all the high-capacity magazines, won't the next "common sense" law be to ban and confiscate all shotguns?
Then a madman will kill 20 or 30 defenseless students in a "gun-free zone" school using multiple semi-automatic handguns (like the killer at Virginia Tech) and multiple "low-capacity" magazines, changing them in 1.5 seconds or less. So if they're successful at getting the aforementioned bans, won't the next "common sense" law be to ban and confiscate all semi-automatic handguns and low-capacity magazines?
Then, will not a madman enter another "gun-free zone" school and kill 18 or 30 defenseless kids with three or more six-shooter revolvers by drawing a loaded revolver when one empties or using speed loaders? So should they be successful at enacting the previous bans, wouldn't the next "common-sense" law be to ban and confiscate all six-shooter revolvers and speed loaders?
If this were a perfect world and the politicians successfully banned and confiscated all the above-mentioned guns (an estimated 200-300 million) and prevent the smuggling of others across our notoriously porous borders, could not another madman take a car and steamroll it through a playground in another "gun-free zone" school, killing 20 or more defenseless kids while the teachers, helpless to stop him, watched in horror?
The mass murderers never choose a gun store, gun show, gun range, NRA convention or a police station. When will the demagoguing politicians and their delusional supporters abandon their murderous insistence that our kids be defenseless? When will they demand the real common-sense measure of having armed teachers or administrators, guards, police officers or volunteers in our schools?

STOCKTON - Former gang members and ex-convicts came face to face with victims of violent crimes Saturday in central Stockton.
STOCKTON - Former gang members and ex-convicts came face to face with victims of violent crimes Saturday in central Stockton.
Helping Other People Expand, a community outreach and gang prevention program, held its first Families Against Violence event at Eden Park. Rep. Jerry McNerney and Vice Mayor Paul Canepa spoke before 300 to 400 people at the event, which included food, live music and a performance by Polynesian dancers. Also on hand were members of the Victims of Violent Crimes of San Joaquin County.
HOPE co-founder Glenn Jose described the event as a success.
"We're going to be doing this every month at every park in Stockton," Jose said. "The reason we're doing it is for community outreach and so we can get some of these gang members to come out and talk to members of the community so they can see there's a way out."
One former gang member and ex-convict who attended the event was Simon Sotelo, 48, who has served three stints totaling 19 years in state prison. Sotelo joined HOPE after his most recent prison stint.
"Simon had no sense of direction," Jose said. "Now, he's our Outreach Program manager."
Sotelo said HOPE gives him direction and "purpose."
"I'm here because I needed to make a change in my life," Sotelo said. "When I came home from previous times of being incarcerated, I always went back to doing the same old thing, and that just led me back to the same old place.
"When I came out, I wanted to do something different. Now, I have a purpose. I'm committed to trying to help others do something better because, hey, prison sucks."
Also in attendance were representatives of the California Highway Patrol. Officer James Smith, a spokesman for the CHP, applauded HOPE for its efforts.
"They're trying to reach out to the community and get violence stopped, and as a law enforcement agency here in Stockton, we wanted to show our presence and our support for our community," Smith said. "The people here are trying to make their community better, and it's going to take the whole entire community to make Stockton the glorious city it can be. No one person can do it. It has to be the whole community coming together, and that's what they're doing here today."

All surgeries have possible complications, so taking the right steps to reduce these complications is important. Drinking three or more drinks per day has been associated with increased risk of complications after surgery; these can include infections, heart and lung complications, and bleeding episodes.
Researchers from Cochrane Database performed a systematic review of trials that looked at the effects of interventions to help patients who were heavy drinkers quit drinking before elective surgery.. The results, published in Cochrane Database, showed that preoperative alcohol cessation interventions, for a month or more, were associated with decreased postoperative complications.
The systematic review included two randomized trials that compared preoperative alcohol cessation to standard care in patients with alcohol use disorder having elective surgery. The trials included 69 adults. The interventions included medicines for one month prior to surgery or medicines plus motivational counseling for three months prior to surgery. Standard care included recommendations to cease alcohol but no cessation support.
In these two trials, intensive interventions to help patients stop drinking significantly reduced the number of complications. There were no significant differences in the number of patients who died in the first month after surgery and no difference in the length of hospital stay between the groups.
Normally, systematic reviews and randomized trials are very reliable study methods. However, since there were only two included trials and the trials had a small number of people participating in them, this somewhat decreases the reliability of the results. Larger studies with more people would help to clarify if these alcohol interventions in patients who are heavy drinkers really helps to decrease complications after surgery.
It is important to remember that heavy alcohol consumption is associated withsurgical complications as well as difficulties during recovery. Make sure your doctor is aware of your drinking habits prior to undergoing elective surgery. If you are regularly drinking large amounts of alcohol, it may be difficult for you to quit on your own. Your doctor may recommend medications and/or counseling to help you reduce or stop drinking before your surgery. Efforts to stop drinking may decrease your risks of complications after the surgery as well as improve your overall health.

Jim Fennell's NH College Notebook: Franklin Pierce basketball team's next test is Metro StateBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 23. 2013 3:03AM
David Chadbourne said he hasn't talked to his players about the rich history of Metro State in the NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament. The Franklin Pierce University coach said he's only focused on the here and now, and what the Ravens have to do to beat the Roadrunners when they meet Thursday in Louisville, Ky.
That, Chadbourne, is enough for his players to deal with.
The Ravens advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history when they beat Bridgeport in the East Regional final on Tuesday. That earned them a spot in the quarterfinals against the third-ranked Roadrunners of Denver, a team that went 30-2 and advanced to the Elite Eight for the second straight year after Tuesday's 78-70 win over St. Mary's (Texas) in the South Central Regional final.
"After watching film of them, it sobers you up pretty quick," Chadbourne said.
The unranked Ravens (24-8) had never made it out of the second round before this year and had reached one of the low points in program history two years ago when they finished 6-21. It was their seventh straight losing season.
Point guard Eric Jean-Guillaume, a sophomore back then, said he dreamed of the day when the Ravens were in the NCAAs.
Dreams, apparently, do come true.
Jean-Guillaume has emerged as one of the best players in the region, a two-time NE-10 player of the year who can make things happen at both ends of the court. And, Chadbourne has surrounded him with a talented and deep cast that includes junior forward Ellis Cooper and sophomore forward Ryen Vilmot.
Chadbourne said after Tuesday's win over Bridgeport that he was "overwhelmed in a good way," to think of where the Ravens are and where they came from. This was their second straight season in the tournament after an absence of 16 years.
"They're absolutely relishing it and enjoying it," Chadbourne said of his players. "And I do think we have a group that appreciates it. We're going to go out there and give it our best shot."
While the experience of going this far into the postseason is new for FPU, it's old hat for Metro State.
The Roadrunners are in the NCAAs for the 15th time in 16 years, a run that includes two nationals championships (2000, 2002) and seven trips to the Elite Eight.
The Ravens head for Louisville on Tuesday. They play Thursday at noon, the first of four games at famed Freedom Hall. Chadbourne said he plans to tell his players to change nothing about their routine and focus, if that is possible.
"We can't get caught up with looking around," he said.
Chadbourne said he plans to draw on his own experience when he was an NAIA All-America at St. Joseph's of Maine and helped the Monks beat highly-touted Biola in the round of 32 at the NAIA nationals in Kansas City.
"It's the first time I will share that story," Chadbourne said. "I never had to before."

NEW LOOK: For the first time, the NCAA is moving the site of its Division II and Division III championship games to the same location as the Final Four of the Division I tournament.
While the Final Four will play out in Atlanta's cavernous Georgia Dome (capacity: 53,000) on Saturday, April 6 and Monday, April 8, the Division II and Division III will be played Sunday, April 7 at Philips Arena (capacity: 18,000).
The quarterfinals and semifinals of the Division II tournament will be played Thursday and Saturday in Louisville.
Of the teams advancing to the Elite Eight, seven (including FPU and Metro State) were the top seed in their regional, while the other was second-seeded Winona State. Winona State and FPU were the only teams not ranked in the NCAA's final Top 25 poll.

MISSING THE BIG DANCE: Kurt Svoboda, who played baseball at Colby-Sawyer College and cuts his teeth in the world of sports information at Franklin Pierce and St. Anselm, recently stepped down as the sports information director at Harvard to take a similar position at Stanford. The move was good professionally, but the timing could have been better. Svoboda missed Harvard's upset of New Mexico in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Stanford was relegated to the NIT.

THE BEYOND THE BORDERS SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON: Keelin Dougherty of Northfield (Bishop Brady). The junior at Bay Path College in Longmeadow, Mass., had an impressive two-way performance to earn softball player of the week honors in the New England Collegiate Conference. Dougherty went 12-for-23 (.522) with a home run and five RBIs at the plate and posted a 2.24 earned run average with 23 strikeouts in 25 innings as she went 3-1 during the team's trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Athletes and PE: Give them credit for sportsEDITORIAL
May 17. 2013 1:22AM
A young woman whose name most Manchester students have never heard is on the verge of changing the city's health curriculum for the better.
In 2005, a transfer student from Seattle found herself a credit shy of being able to graduate from Bow High School. Isabel Gottlieb asked the school to waive her personal wellness class requirement, as she was a three-letter varsity athlete. The school refused. The super-jock was not allowed to graduate because the school insisted she take the basic physical education course.
Fred Bramante, who was then the chairman of the state Board of Education, pursued a remedy that made perfect sense: Let sports count as physical education credits. Though the board passed that change years ago, many school districts in the state have been slow to adopt it. Manchester is one of them.
On Tuesday, the Board of School Committee's Coordination Committee approved a policy that would allow athletes to obtain a full health class credit for four seasons' worth of sports participation. The full board must approve the policy. It should.
Ward 10 school board member John Avard, who proposed the policy, said the sports credit "would allow the students to fill the credit with other academic priorities." That is exactly right. Athletes would not have to waste time in physical education classes, and could use that time to fulfill other academic goals instead.
It is a testament to the inefficiency of public school bureaucracies that athletes have to take physical education classes. This change would make the system just a wee bit more efficient. It should pass with ease.
