Junior wide reciever AJ Johnson is the first Puget Sound student-athlete to earn an All-American honor from d3football.com. D3football.com All-American honors began in 1999.
Johnson, a native of Tacoma and graduate of Lincoln High School, is also the first Logger football student-athlete to earn an All-American honor since Tony Puz in 1998 (NAIA).
By the end of the 2018 season, Johnson set the Puget Sound single-season record for receiving yards with 1,096. He led the Northwest Conference in both receiving and receptions (92), and he ranked second in touchdown catches (12).
Johnson, along with four other teammates, was named to the All-NWC First Team. He played a vital role in Puget Sound setting several single-season program records in 2018, including passing touchdowns (40), completions (321), and total points (350).
Jamie Lange notched her third consecutive double-double to lead the Puget Sound women's basketball team to a 67-44 win over Caltech in the final day of the Pacific Northwest Tournament hosted by Pacific Lutheran.
Lange came away with 17 points and a season-high 19 boards for the Loggers (6-2). Prewitt nearly recorded a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds against the Beavers (4-5).
Lange and Prewitt were both named to the Pacific Northwest All-Tournament Team.
Puget Sound got off to a sluggish start Sunday. The Loggers shot 16.7 percent from the floor in the opening 10 minutes, and they trailed Caltech at the end of the first quarter, 12-8. Puget Sound kicked it into gear in the second quarter to claim a 28-21 lead at halftime, and the Loggers never looked back.
Puget Sound freshman Georgia Lavinder scored a season-high 12 points Sunday by shooting 4-for-8 from 3-point range.
The Loggers left for Hawaii on Monday, Dec. 17, to compete in the Street Shine Invitational in Honolulu. Puget Sound takes on Whittier on Wednesday, Dec. 19 and Chapman on Thursday, Dec. 20.
SeniorElizabeth Prewitt eclipsed 1,000 points for her collegiate career as the Puget Sound women's basketball team handled Nichols, 61-39, in the first game of the Pacific Northwest Tournament hosted by Pacific Lutheran on Saturday, Dec. 16.
Prewitt entered the game needing 20 points to reach the millennium mark. After scoring seven points in the first half, Prewitt netted 14 points in the first six minutes of the third quarter.
Prewitt provided the game's first points of the second half by draining a 3-pointer. Later in the third quarter, Prewitt hit another trey while drawing a foul, and she capitalized on the four-point play. Prewitt's milestone basket was a 3-point shot from the corner with four minutes left in the third quarter.
Prewitt is the first Logger since Alexis Noren '17 to join the 1,000-point club.
All in all, Prewitt scored 21 points in 23 minutes against the Bison (3-7). Jamie Lange notched her second consecutive double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Loggers (5-2). Puget Sound held Nichols to just 23.1 percent shooting from the floor, and the Loggers forced 15 turnovers. Puget Sound dominated the glass, 49-31.
The Northwest Conference office released its weekly award winners on Monday, Dec. 17, with Pacific Lutheran University women's basketball student-athlete Madison Salisbury claiming NWC Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Salisbury wins the honor after earning MVP honors at the Pacific Northwest Tournament for the second consecutive season. The sophomore guided the Lutes (6-2) to a pair of blowout wins, topping California Institute of Technology 89-56 before steamrolling Nichols College 92-39 to extend PLU's win streak to five games.
The Puyallup native averaged 16.0 points per game and 9.0 rebounds per game during the tournament while also collecting four steals, three blocks, and three assists. Her impressive numbers came despite averaging just 19.5 minutes of court time over the course of the two days. Salisbury scored a tournament-high 22 points in the victory over Caltech while also finishing in double figures the Nichols game that saw the Lutes score the opening 29 points of the contest. Salisbury was previously honored as NWC Player of the Week on Dec. 3.
Pacific Lutheran is back on the hardwood on Thursday, facing InterAmerican University in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
The Pacific Lutheran University women's basketball team continued to roll on Sunday, Dec. 16, collecting the opening 29 points and never looking back in a blowout 92-39 victory over Nichols College in the final game of the Pacific Northwest Tournament inside Olson Gymnasium.
The Lutes (6-2) were on fire to start the game, withKristin Sturdivan draining a three for the first of 29 consecutive points for the home squad. The Bison (3-8) misfired on their first 10 shots of the game and committed eight turnovers during the Lute scoring binge while PLU collected six steals during that stretch. When the dust settled on the opening quarter the Lutes held a comfortable 32-4 advantage before taking a 59-14 lead into the halftime break.
PLU held at least a 45-point buffer the entire second half to cruise to the squad's fifth consecutive victory and close out the Pacific Northwest Tournament undefeated for the second consecutive season. Madison Salisbury was named the Tournament MVP for the second straight year while Emma Janousek joined her on the six player All-Tournament Team.
"We're excited to see our continued improvement and balanced play," said PLU ead coachJennifer Childress. "Today everyone's hard work over the past two months was evident in our transition and tempo of play."
It was a true team effort on Sunday with all 14 Lutes to see action, scoring at least a point. Sturdivan led the way with 14 points and 10 rebounds whileKatie Taylor added 12 points off the bench, shooting a perfect three-for-three from the field. Janousek, MacKenzie Cooper, and Salisbury all chipped in 10 points. Janousek led the team with six assists while Salisbury had six rebounds and three steals in just 18 minutes of work.
PLU collected 15 steals on the day and forced 22 Nichols turnovers, leading to a 32-7 advantage in points off turnovers. The Lutes outscored the Bison bench 44-24 while limited Nichols to shooting just 23.7 percent (14-for-59) from the field.
Jump into the water with other jubilant merrymakers on Tuesday, Jan. 1, at the seventh annual Polar Bear Plunge at Point Defiance Marina boat launch. The event is presented by BECU and supported by Bloodworks Northwest.
Trade your winter coat for a swimsuit and go knee deep, waist high or all the way in. The Cub Plunge is for those who want to enter the water from the launch ramp. It begins at 11:30 a.m., followed by the Polar Bear Plunge at noon for people who want to jump off the docks feet first. Costumes are welcome but not required, though participants need to have protective footwear.
The event is free and takes place rain or shine at the Point Defiance boat launch, located at 5912 N. Waterfront Drive in Point Defiance Park. For the safety of participants, life jackets will available and lifeguards will be stationed on the docks.
Daring folks who jump in can warm up afterward in heating tents, sip free hot drinks, and purchase treats from the snack bar. Changing tents will be available.
In addition to a year's worth of bragging rights, participants receive a Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium coupon good for $3 off general admission. Commemorative T-shirts will be available for $5 while supplies last.
Parking is limited nearby, but a shuttle bus will transport participants from the Owen Beach parking lot to and from the Plunge between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Plunge continues to be wildly popular with more than 1,000 people in attendance and 350 taking the plunge off the boat ramp or docks in recent years. Those brave enough to jump into Puget Sound ranged from small children to the more mature, from costumed to fully clothed.
Bloodworks Northwest representatives will be on hand to answer questions about the life-saving benefits of blood donations and encourage participants to turn out for upcoming blood drives and typing events. From 1 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 7, Bloodworks will hold a community blood drive in celebration of National Blood Donor Month at STAR Center: To register, go to http://www.bloodworksnw.org.
Point Defiance Marina has anchored the northeast side of Point Defiance Park since 1944, when it replaced the original boathouse pavilion of the early 1900s. While down at the waterfront stop by to browse the gift shop, rent a boat or sign up for a boating or fishing class.
Volunteers are always needed to serve refreshments or set up and take down after the event. For more information, visit PointDefianceMarina.comor call (253) 591-5325.
Healthy Plunge guidelines:
·Anyone with a history of heart problems should talk to their healthcare provider before participating in the Polar Bear Plunge.

Seborrheic keratoses tend to run in families, but they've also been linked to sun exposure. These tan, brown, black, or white cauliflower-like skin growths are common among people over age 50 and look like they've been stuck on your skin.
The growths are not contagious, but they do tend to multiply and crop up in clusters. They can range in size from less than an inch to as big as a half dollar. Common sites for seborrheic keratoses are the back, chest, stomach, scalp, face, and neck; they don't develop on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet.
"I often call them 'birthday presents' or 'wisdom spots' because it seems like we get more every year," says Lauren Ploch, M.D., a Georgia dermatologist and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Dermatology.
Although seborrheic keratoses are unsightly, they usually don't cause symptoms. Sometimes they may itch or bleed or become painful after being irritated by friction from clothes or jewelry.
Dermatologists can usually tell by looking at a seborrheic keratosis that it is benign, but if there's any question your doctor will remove the growth for biopsy, which health insurance should cover. However, insurance will not pay if the growth is removed for cosmetic reasons.
Getting a seborrheic keratosis removed
Options for removal include shaving or scraping off or freezing with liquid nitrogen (a procedure known as cryotherapy), which causes it to fall off within days of treatment.
A downside of cryotherapy is that the skin may become permanently lighter or darker, particularly in dark-skinned individuals. Alternatively, your doctor may burn off the growths with an electric current (electrocautery).
Topical agents are currently in early stages of testing and may be on the market to treat seborrheic keratoses in a couple of years.
Always consult a dermatologist if a lesion starts to show signs that are linked to skin cancer, such as enlarging quickly, turning black, itching when it never did before, or bleeding, or if you suddenly develop a number of new skin growths.

Research Topics/Projects
Wireless Sensor Networks Powered by Ambient Energy Harvesting (WSN-HEAP)contact: Prof Winston Seah . Bulk of the research on wireless sensor networks assume that sensors rely on a limited power source like batteries, and aim to maximize the lifetime of the network through efficient energy usage. When the batteries run out, a wireless sensor network is essentially useless. The ideal wireless sensor network is one in which the sensors do not have to rely on any onboard energy source. The sensors harvest the energy from the environment to power up, initialize, take readings and transmit the data. Each sensor has only sufficient harvested energy to transmit the data once (if not more), and they must coordinate among themselves to relay the data to the sink. While this approach has alleviated the energy problem, it exacerbates the synchronization problem among sensors. Synchronizing packet transmissions is very important to minimize collisions among sensors which, in our case, can be critical as there is very limited energy available. Another is knowing the neighbourhood (or locality) so that a next-hop node can be found to forward a packet to. This project focuses on the following closely related issues:
- node synchronization (for medium access control)
- locality awareness (for data forwarding)
- energy-efficient data forwarding
- cognitive methods for sensor data processing, such as, fusion, aggregation, and optimization
- energy-efficient modulation and coding scheme
- reliability mechanisms
Wireless Protocol Design for Body Area Sensor Networks in Healthcarecontact: Prof Winston Seah . In healthcare, a number of tiny bio-sensor devices are deployed on the human body to monitor vital signs of human such as blood pressure, ECG, spO2, and movement activities. These sensors create a wireless body area network (WBAN) for transmission of sensed vital signs from the sensors to a dedicated sink. Primary batteries can have excessive weight and size that limit the lifespan and autonomy of electronic devices because of the need of replacement. This makes them unsuitable in systems with limited accessibility and the cost becomes prohibitive in wireless microsensor networks with a large quantity of powered devices. Long lifespan and small dimensions of the power source are particularly important and advantageous for wearable electronics and systems. These have stimulated worldwide research in the field of energy-harvesting devices. However, the field of energy-harvesting technologies in wearable computing is still a new area due to its specific challenges such as human safety, form factor limitations and wearability. Recent investigations have been carried out with the goal to design and develop miniaturized wearable power generators. For example, a micro thermoelectric generator can produce small, though usable power from temperature differences as low as 5 K, introducing the capability to power devices from body heat. Energy can also be captured by muscular activity so that the human body can be used as steady energy source. When applying energy-harvesting technologies to body area networks, the energy capturing rates varying according to the energy-harvesting technologies. Furthermore, the energy of sensor nodes will be unevenly distributed throughout the body depending on the physical locations of the sensors. As wireless communications consume most of the energy of a sensor node as compared to other energy consumers such as sensing data acquisition and computing, the transmission capability of a sensor node depends on how much energy it is able to capture during its operation. In this research, two areas will be investigated: (1) the existing energy-harvesting technologies and the off-the-shelf products that may be suitable to be applied to body area networks. (2) the impact of the above technologies on the wireless protocol design, possibly through the study of energy states and distributions. Students working on this project will also have the opportunity to do an internship at the Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore, for a period of between 3 and 6 months.
Robust end-to-end Wireless Multihop Protocols for Harsh Environmentscontact: Prof Winston Seah . In wireless multihop networks, it is common for nodes to experience constantly fluctuating link quality due to node movement, interference from the physical environment, power limitation that require communications to be minimized in order to save power, etc. When nodes move or the physical environment around the nodes changes, links may break due to obstructions, fading, and other forms of interference. In order to conserve power, it is often better to withhold the data or shutdown the link until conditions recover before resuming communications again. This results in intermittent connectivity, and even network partitioning when there is no path between a pair of communicating nodes. Some examples of such intermittently connected networks include: a) sensor networks that operate with stringent physical and environmental constraints and scheduled to be turned off periodically to conserve resources; b) military ad hoc networks where nodes (e.g. troops, vehicles, aircraft) may move randomly, may be destroyed or need to stop transmitting in order to avoid being detected; c) underwater wireless networks deployed for offshore engineering applications where the underwater acoustic communications channel is subjected to spatial and temporal blackouts; and d) vehicular networks where nodes move at high velocities. Protocols for such networks must be able to establish stable routes and also adapt quickly to changes in the environment. Failing which, the applications must first be able to tolerate delays beyond conventional IP forwarding delays, giving rise to what is commonly referred to as delay tolerant networks (DTN). This project encompasses the following aspects:
- Study the fundamentals of routing for wireless networks and design algorithms that select the most stable (but not necessarily shortest) routes, preferably without affecting the existing routing fabric. (See HICSS-45 paper for details on idea and preliminary results.)
- Study the performance of known routing protocols in delay tolerant networks, and design schemes for DTNs to meet the performance requirements of realistic application scenarios.
Green Cognitive Wireless Networks - Algorithms, Protocols & Systemscontact: Prof Winston Seah . Wireless communications is highly dependent on the availability of reliable energy sources to operate. In recent years, the immense amount of energy consumed by the wireless communications infrastructure and devices has become a critical issue. Despite the emergence of more energy efficient technologies, we remain tethered to energy sources. Portable energy sources like batteries need to be replaced and/or recharged, and also pose environmental risks. The promise of untethered freedom by wireless communications remains hampered by the energy source needed to drive it. With the increasing concerns about global warming and the urgent need to reduce energy usage, it is therefore inevitable that we need to find alternative and more sustainable ways to deploy and operate wireless communication systems and networks. Furthermore, with the ever changing environment, networks require cognitive capabilities to adapt and evolve. This research aims to develop new wireless communications technologies that can operate from minimal amounts of energy harvested from the environment and/or for long durations without the need to replace the portable sources (batteries) thus minimizing environmental damage from human intervention during the process of energy supply or replenishment. Ideally, such wireless communications networks will operate without the need for any human intervention and remain sustainable for years to come. Some of the areas to be studied include:
- More efficient ways of harnessing and utilizing the ambient energy that is present in the environment to power wireless communications. Research on the development of energy harvesting technology is not studied here, but rather, the focus is on the design of algorithms and protocols that fully utilize the scarce amounts of harvested energy.
- New wireless networking technologies that reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency by minimizing, e.g. unnecessary periodic transmissions like beacons, persistent channel access techniques, data redundancy, etc.
- Applying environmentally friendly metrics for route discovery and selection in wireless communication networks.
- Cognitive methods that learn and evolve to adapt to dynamic environmental conditions and network traffic loads.
Communications Architecture for Network of Unmanned Autonomous Swarms (CANUAS)contact: Prof Winston Seah . The use of many small low-cost unmanned air/ground/underwater vehicles (UAV/UGV/UUV or collectively as UxV) working as a collective group is a viable approach for surveillance and detection of potential threats/obstacles in harsh environments, e.g. underground, underwater, disaster zones, and battlefields. Effective communication mechanisms in such groups of unmanned vehicles (UxVs) are a key requirement for their meaningful deployment. A fully distributed communications architecture is necessary for reliability and robustness, especially since the communications system needs to support both the transport of data among the UxVs, as well as, commands that influence the motion of the UxVs; the latter is very critical for ensuring that the group of UxVs maintain formation while performing their tasks, and the commands must reach their desired destinations (nodes) within the given time constraints, so that the targeted nodes have sufficient time to act on the command. An example scenario can be a UxV of the group straying away and nearest UxVs transmitting commands to direct it back towards the group. In this project, we focus on designing protocols that ensures high-priority messages like motion commands are given precedence to transmit over the wireless medium. Given the stringent time constraints, a time-scheduled mechanism appears to be a more viable approach. The aim of this project is to study the state-of-the-art in networking schemes for such harsh environments, and design a suitable scheme for swarm control and communications.
Theoretical Approaches in Wireless Communications Networks and Systems Designcontact: Prof Winston Seah . Traditional networks are built to cooperate based on a mandatory network communication semantic to achieve desirable qualities such as efficiency and scalability. With technological maturity and widespread technical know-how, a different set of network problems emerged - clever users try to alter network behavior in a way to benefit themselves at the expense of others. The problem is more pronounced in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) where network ownership can be largely public. At one extreme is the malicious node that aims to disrupt the operation of the network. We focus instead on selfish, rational user misbehavior while keeping this danger in mind. In this project, pricing and promiscuous listening are avoided because of known technical feasibility in actual deployment scenarios. While adopting the punishment approach, we avoid network-wide punishment as it is an easy avenue for denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Some approaches for study include:
- Model based on the work of Masaki Aoyagi's imperfect private monitoring for the dynamic Bertrand oligopoly, and fit it to wireless multi-hop networks. The model further relates the relevance of routing broadcasts and packet acknowledgments to network cooperation.
- Apply game theory to study the performance of bandwidth sharing in communal networks where each member of the network is expected to its fair share of network resources in order to gain access to other members' network resources, and most importantly, discourage unfair and selfish behaviours.
- Model the performance of wireless multihop networks for network and civil resource optimization and pricing. This can be applied to the realistic scenarios of networking resources that support intelligent transportation systems, emergency services, logistics, etc.

Peak Ecology in Scotland
With the acquisition of two established ecology businesses in Scotland in 2012, Lutra Ecological Services and the Natural Resource Consultancy, we now have two Scottish offices, in Dumfries & Galloway (Carrutherstown, near Dumfries) and Strathclyde (Auchincruive, near Ayr) and our project base in Scotland is growing significantly.
We have now been appointed to Forestry Commission Scotland's ecological framework in all ten Scottish Forest Districts. Given that this in addition to our ongoing close working relationship with Fountains Forestry, we now have a very strong presence and track record in Scottish forestry.
Peak Ecology have also been appointed to Scottish Natural Heritage's Site Condition Monitoring framework and our portfolio of projects in Scotland continues to grow. For example, we are working with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority, working to improve visitor facilities within the park. We have also undertaken BREEAM assessments on two large development sites in Glasgow and Edinburgh and have several renewable energy projects in process.
In addition to our permanent staff in Dumfries & Galloway and Strathclyde we have a network of approved sub-contractors covering other areas of Scotland including the central belt, Tayside, Inverness-shire, Aberdeenshire, Caithness and Sutherland and the Western Isles.
A lot of our work is involved with protected mammals in the forestry sector, in particular Scottish specialities such as red squirrel, pine marten and otter as well as bats and badgers. As an example, in 2012 we have been trialling the use of camera traps for monitoring otter holts in remote forested areas.
Our ornithologists are undertaking surveys for black grouse, capercaillie and breeding Schedule 1 raptors including osprey, goshawk, hen harrier, golden eagle, peregrine and merlin as well as more general breeding bird surveys and vantage point surveys.
Our site condition monitoring work involves higher level botanical survey and analysis using standard field recording and reporting techniques.
In addition, both our Principal Ecologist, Malcolm Ginns and Technical Director, Carol Crawford are very much involved in biological recording and specialist training in Scotland.

Pictured from left to right: Cassie Walker Johnson, YouthCare Board Member & Windermere Broker; Jill Jacobi Wood, Co-President, Windermere Real Estate; Christine Wood, Executive Director, Windermere Foundation; Geoff Wood, CEO & Co-President, Windermere Real Estate.
For the past 30 years, Windermere Real Estate has supported more than 500 non-profit agencies dedicated to helping low-income and homeless families through donations from the Windermere Foundation. We have worked with many worthy organizations that provide shelter, food, youth/children's programs, emergency assistance, education/counseling, school assistance, scholarships, and other services to those in need in our communities. One organization that we have been honored to partner with these past three years is YouthCare, a non-profit in Seattle, Washington that provides critical services to homeless youth. YouthCare works to end youth homelessness and to ensure that young people are valued for who they are and empowered to achieve their potential.
Three years ago, we embarked on a campaign to #tacklehomelessness with the Seattle Seahawks and YouthCare. Together, our goal was to bring resources to help homeless youth move forward, and to inspire our neighbors and friends to take action. Windermere committed to donating $100 for every Seahawks home game defensive tackle to YouthCare. During the three seasons of the campaign, a total of $98,700 was raised to help fund housing and residential care for homeless youth.
In addition to the #tacklehomelessness campaign, Windermere offices throughout the greater Seattle area came together each fall to hold a "We've Got You Covered" winter drive for YouthCare. Over three years, a combined total of over 14,600 hats, gloves, scarves, socks, and an assortment of other accessories and cash donations were collected through the drives.
"We fielded a mountain (literally!) of donated items from the Windermere Community," said Jody Waits, Development & Communications Officer for YouthCare. "Windermere understands the power of home, and that a safe and welcoming place to call your own causes joy. We are so honored to have cheered for the Hawks and had this incredible partnership to tackle homelessness, together! While our friendship is evolving, we know that, united, we'll always be working to help homeless youth be safe today and build a thriving future for tomorrow. Thank you!"
Although our campaign with YouthCare has come to an end, Windermere is still actively involved with the non-profit. Cassie Walker Johnson, managing broker at the Windermere Wedgwood office, is a member of YouthCare's Board of Directors.
Windermere is proud to partner with non-profits like YouthCare, and we are thankful for all the generous donations made to the Windermere Foundation, which enable us to continue to support them.

Windermere Foundation Surpasses $38 Million In Total Donations Raised
Posted in Windermere Foundation by Marilou Ubungen
2018 concluded with another great year of fundraising and giving for the Windermere Foundation, thanks to the continued support of Windermere franchise owners, agents, staff, and the community. Nearly $2.5 million was raised in 2018, bringing our grand total to over $38 million raised since the Foundation's inception in 1989! During the past year, nearly $1.9 million was donated to non-profit organizations throughout the Western U.S. that provide much-needed services to low-income and homeless families. In 2018, the Windermere Foundation fulfilled 689 grant requests and served 507 non-profit organizations.
A portion of the money raised every year is due in part to our agents who each make a donation to the Windermere Foundation from every commission they earn. Additional donations from Windermere agents, the community, and fundraisers made up 68% of the money collected in 2018. Each Windermere office has their own Foundation funds, which enable them to support local non-profits in their communities.
One organization that received Windermere Foundation donations from several Windermere Real Estate offices in the Seattle area is Treehouse. Treehouse's mission is to give foster kids a childhood and a future. Their goal that they have set to achieve by 2022, is to see youth in foster care graduate from high school at the same rate as their peers across Washington State. And to provide them with support and a plan to launch successfully into adulthood. Donations from the Windermere Foundation have helped Treehouse clients like Ashley, get the support she needed to turn her life around.
"I didn't have a childhood that all kids should have–like making friends my age or playing sports. I changed the path that I was on because I wanted to give people a reason to believe in me. You have to want to change and speak your truth, but you can't do it without people believing in you. You can get through the darkest situations, you just gotta look for a little crack of light. Treehouse is that crack of light for me," ~Ashley
2018 also marked the third year of our #tacklehomelessness campaign with the Seattle Seahawks, in which Windermere committed to donating $100 for every Seahawks home game defensive tackle to YouthCare, a non-profit organization that provides critical services to homeless youth. While the Seahawks didn't make it past the first round of the playoffs, they did help us raise $31,900. When added to previous seasons, the total donation for the past three years is $98,700! We are grateful for the opportunity to provide additional support to homeless youth thanks to the Seahawks, YouthCare, and the #tacklehomelessnesscampaign.
Thanks to our agents, offices, and everyone who supports the Windermere Foundation, we have been able to make a difference in the lives of many families in our local communities over the past 30 years. If you'd like to help support programs in your community, please click the Donate button.

Windermere Shred Day 2018!
We have the date for the 2018 Annual Windermere Shred Day in hand! Set aside a couple hours on May 19, 2018 from 11-2 to get your shred on down at the Windermere office at 2900 W Broadway. This year we will have 1 truck available with a 5 box limit. Bring a canned or box food donation for the local food bank and we can continue paying it forward.
Funny story about last years event is that we ran out of truck space in the first 2 hours! So it's best to show up early so that we don't have a full truck. It will be a drop and go service on the day of the event.
How to Price Your Home
When you put your home up for sale, one of the best ways to determine the asking price is to look at comparable sales. There's rarely a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, so a pricing decision often relies on comparisons to several recent sales in the area. Here are five criteria to look for in a sales comparison.
- Location: Homes in the same neighborhood typically follow the same market trends. Comparing your home to another in the same neighborhood is a good start, but comparing it to homes on the same street or block is even better.
- Date of sale: It varies by location, but housing markets can see a ton of fluctuation in a short time period. It's best to use the most recent sales data available.
- Home build: Look for homes with similar architectural styles, numbers of bathrooms and bedrooms, square footage, and other basics.
- Features and upgrades: Remodeled bathrooms and kitchens can raise a home's price, and so can less flashy upgrades like a new roof or HVAC system. Be sure to look for similar bells and whistles.
- Sale types: Homes that are sold as short sales or foreclosures are often in distress or sold at a lower price than they'd receive from a more typical sale. These homes are not as useful for comparisons.

Why Community Involvement from your Agent Should Matter to You
This is a topic that is close to my heart. The more involved I get in the Moses Lake Community the more I see, especially this community, how much we need people to get involved. We want to have a community that everyone wants to belong to, we want to feel that what we do matters to this community. With Windermere's emphasis on community and core values we are able and expected to be out in the community making it a better place to live for you. Every time you use a Windermere agent you are saying that community matters and that businesses that contribute are important to you. Here we are as a company making a living off of those that live in our community and those who choose us, there should be a level of expectation from you that the business will in turn contribute in a positive manner to the place that you live. Look at those you do business with in the community and pay attention to those that you see out doing good and understand and see where their companies heart truly lies. What are they doing to help make this place better?
This year we were able to contribute thanks to you to:
Grant County Homeless Task Force
Moses Lake Canine Program
Moses Lake Museum and Art
Community Family Services
Grant County 4-H & FFA Sale
Boys & Girls Club
Moses Lake Booster Club
Community Services of Moses Lake

"Everything I do is personal." – Francis Ford Coppola
On January 28, 1986, the American shuttle orbiter Challenger broke up 73 seconds after liftoff, bringing a devastating end to the spacecraft's 10th mission. The disaster claimed the lives of all seven astronauts aboard. It was a tragedy that shook the country.
Even before the smoke cleared, President Reagan had the unenviable job of explaining the event to the country. He had to speak to millions of diverse Americans yet connect with them. He had to bring the country together. What followed was one of the greatest speeches of all time.
How did he do it?
He spoke to us in the Challenger address, taking time to relate to each section of our nation. Reagan didn't target us as a faceless mass, but instead spoke to us each separately to drive home his point.
He started by speaking directly to the families of the fallen seven: "For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us."
Then, he spoke to the children: "I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle's takeoff. I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them."
Reagan also addressed those who worked at NASA: "I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: "Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it."
And through the entire speech, he spoke to the people of our nation.
In our data-driven worlds, we over-emphasize logic and undere-emphasize emotional connection with the audience. One of the keys to "Think Deeply. Speak Simply" is to do some research and find out who you're presenting to. Break the group into sections, and find out what clicks for each of them. Use emotional ethics, emotion and logic (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) to directly resonate with each part of the audience.
As Reagan said, "The future belongs to the brave," so be brave when you present. Speak directly with emotion to the specific parts of your audience.
Here is the link to the full speech:

This tendency is generally helpful in smoothing the progress of interpersonal relationships, but too much concern about what others think renders your mind inhospitable to original thought and can result in your holding on to dangerous misconceptions.
Valuable information. Lucky me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I'm surprised why this twist of fate didn't came about earlier! I bookmarked it.

Standard Chartered is in trouble. The Asia-focused, UK-based bank has just reported a quarterly loss of $139m (£90.2m), its first in 17 years. Bill Winters, who joined as CEO back in June, faces a tumultuous uphill struggle if he wants to make the company shine again.
The loss is all part of Winters' 'kitchen-sinking' strategy - getting out all the bad news as quickly as possible so he can get on with the business of turning things around. He has wasted no time in that respect. In July he announced a major cull of the bank's top team, centralising power in his own hands, and last month it emerged he was getting rid of 1,000 senior managers.
Today he pushed the nuclear button on a radical plan to assure investors that StanChart's losses can be reversed. In a bid to become 'lean and focused', the bank will get rid of 15,000 jobs by 2018 (or as its deadpan press release put it, 'removing a gross 15,000 roles'). That's a pretty substantial chunk of a workforce that currently numbers around 90,000 people.
Winters will also ask investors to plug a hole in the bank's balance sheet, in the form of a $5.1bn rights issue, and restructure or exit $100bn worth of risk-weighted assets. It's not all slash and burn, though. He plans to use some of the cash to invest in improving the company's digital technology and expanding its presence in China and Africa. The intention is to shift the bank's focus away from 'capital intensive' corporate finance and towards retail banking and wealth management.
Investors don't seem too pleased with being asked to foot the bill. StanChart's share price was down 10% to 642p this morning, having already crashed substantially from a high of 1,094p back in June. The slump probably also reflects surprise at the scale of the bank's loss, which analysts had expected to be a profit of $913m. Winters is making no apologies, though.
'This comprehensive programme of actions will result in a lean, focused and well capitalised international bank, poised for growth across our dynamic and growing markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East,' he said, before later adding on a conference call that the plans were 'aggressive and decisive'. They will certainly need to be.

MIDI Maestro is music software designed for use by amateur and professional music directors, conductors, and musicians in live musical theater and similar musical accompaniment situations (e.g. worship bands,techno bands,karaoke Accompaniment track,tape). It also a midi maker design for Guitar soloists, Professional gigs to Rehearsal tapes and sessions or Music Composition and Musical Education. Dynamic, intuitive performance control is combined with powerful sequencing and editing capabilitiesWith the MIDI Maestro help you can Offer more interactive control by a conductor when he's playing a keyboard. it will "follow" the keyboard player's lead, changing tempo and dynamic expression as necessary.(midi conntroller by keyborad or foot switch)These are the views and the layout used most often during a live performance. Views include view of maestro, track view ,Clip View,time view,fader view,Song Properties, Transport menu. It's always easy to see what's coming up: tempos, cues, instrument changes, etc. The current position indicator remains in the center of the display. Tracks may be color-coded. Most views may be zoomed both horizontally and vertically. You may choose to open and work with individual files, or "sets" of songs as used for a performanceIt is also a powerful MIDI creation and editing tool. The staff view organizes music into standard notation. Printing is also supported. There're also Staff and Lead-Sheet Views, Karaoke View, piano roll, event list, and Controller View.
MIDI Maestro's most commonly used performance and editing functions may be "mapped" to your MIDI keyboard. That is, instead of fumbling around with a computer keyboard and mouse during a performance, you may instead use your MIDI keyboard to control MIDI Maestro. The "Setup/External Control" command will open a window similar to this one:
"Actions" are "triggered" when the corresponding key, controller (e.g., pedal), or key and controller combination is pressed on a MIDI keyboard. Many actions have an "auto-repeat" behavior, and will continue until you release the key and/or controller.
How do I add to or edit this list?
Use the "Add" button to add a new entry, or click on an entry and then the "Edit" button to change an existing entry. The following window opens:
You may set the input device (physical port and channel) and trigger (key and/or controller) manually by using the controls, or you may allow MIDI Maestro to set them automatically by simply pressing the desired key and/or controller (e.g., pedal) on your keyboard. When you press a key or controller on your keyboard, MIDI Maestro will automatically update the controls in the window.
First, I play in a rock band and was looking for a nice Midisequencer that can be use to play live jam/gig and also have FULLcontrol over the midi. Having a Start button, with TAP for tempo, andalso playing the introduction until I decide to start the song was amost. Other sequencer I found did'nt give you the control likeMidiMaestro does.--Steve Hollingsworth

Late summer brings a more comfortable existence to those who pursue trout with a fly fishing rod. By September shorter days and cooler nights high up in the Rocky Mountains announce an arrival of fall weather that can be as much as a month earlier than in lower elevations.
Insect hatches on the Henry's Fork and other notable waters in the Yellowstone region can become somewhat more sporadic and unpredictable during this period of seasonal transition. With consistent potential for opportunity in mind, I am more inclined to rely on a mid-morning spinner fall than trying to time the emergence of several mayfly species that can appear at this time.
Generally, I can arrive on the water at about 9:00 A.M., which is as much as 3 hours later than would be suitable a month earlier in August. Even at this advanced hour a quiet calm can usually be expected to last until at least noon, and this is the condition in which a spinner fall is most likely to occur.
Through much of September and even into early October, early autumn mayflies like Callibaetis and Tricos comprise a significant portion of a trout's diet, and the spinner stage seems to produce the concentrated numbers of these important insects. They are a significant food source on most area still waters as well as the Henry's Fork, of which I am especially fond.
Mayfly spinners almost always represent pure dry fly fishing. With the trout looking up exclusively for a meal that arrives from above, precise casting is the name of the game. Because they exist mainly in water with very slow or no perceivable current, Callibaetis and Trico spinners both can induce a feeding pattern marked by travel as trout feed greedily from the surface.
Perfection in timing and accuracy combine with more than a little luck when fishing to a moving target that may never rise in the same place twice. But the satisfaction of having it all come together is something special.
Because mayfly spinners are in a dying or dead condition when they are on the water, an effective fly pattern is often a low floating imitation that can be difficult to see. The CDC Biot Paraspinner does an excellent job of duplicating the spent wings of an expiring spinner while providing welcome visibility with a short, white wing post. And it can also be adapted to any mayfly species.
CDC Biot Paraspinner (Callibaetis)
Hook: TMC 100 BL size 14-18
Thread: Tan
Tail: Light Pardo Coq-de-Leon
Abdomen: Tannish Gray Goose or Turkey Biot
Thorax: Tannish Gray Dubbing
Wing: Paired White CDC feathers trimmed to 1/3 usual length
Hackle: Sparse turns of Grizzly 2 sizes larger than usual tied parachute style. Trim forward fibers to form a wide "V" over the eye.

Article of the Day………ok so i don't have a piece of writing seven days a week, but if i get an opportunity I will post articles I find fascinating. Fortunate enough here is one of these articles that I read and had to share. Should you enjoy it as much as me, please add one of those special social media likes, you know the one which tells everyone you enjoyed something, rather then you sat on your arse and watched Television!
Richland County Commissioners hope to decide by the end of summer how to resolve coverage problems with the sheriff�s office dispatch Walkie talkies and convert the department to a digital system.
Commissioners met Tuesday with sheriff�s representatives, other officials and two potential vendors to discuss tests that were done to see if �holes� in radio coverage could be resolved with repeaters in cruisers instead of an entirely new system.
Sheriff Steve Sheldon told commissioners in March that an experiment with low band repeaters in several cruisers did not resolve the coverage problems and recommended the county buy Motorola brand radios through the state�s Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS) at an estimated cost of $630,000. The MARCS radios would meet upcoming federal digital requirements.
Earlier this month, Arlin Bradford of Vasu Communications, which maintains the Radio system, said the test was not done as well as it could have been. He said buying Kenwood brand MARCS-compatible radios through state purchasing would cost just under $400,000 and provide double the number of portable radios through a limited-time upgrade offer. The extra portables could be distributed to township and village police and fire departments to help them save on digital conversion, he said.
On Tuesday, administrative Sgt. Jim Sweat disputed the suggestion that the test was not done well. �Our test was to turn the radios on and press the button to talk,� he said. �We did not try to scan channels or do anything else with the functionality of the system.�
Sweat said the Motorola radios offered through MARCS were better and more reliable than the Kenwood model Bradford proposed. He also offered to conduct a test of both systems from 40 locations � including one in each township � and one internal location at each rural school. He estimated the test would take two or three days.
�What it comes down to is we agree that MARCS is the system we�re going with, and it�s a matter of what end user system we use to communicate with MARCS,� Sweat said.
Butler police Chief Brian Darby urged officials to make sure the Butler and Bellville areas are evaluated. �Butler and the Clear Fork Valley have no communications right now,� he said, noting that he never had a problem with Motorola 2 way Radios when he was an Ohio Highway Patrol trooper. �I�ve been around since MARCS was conceived, but if another radio works as well, that�s fine.�
Frank Cody, a Motorola representative with Bender Communications� Mansfield office, said testers should make sure MARCS programs the same feature sets and talk groups into all brands of radios tested. He said officials also should use the same antennas and microphones in order to get a complete replication of what deputies will use in the field.
Commissioners also want an accurate figure for the number of radios needed, including upgrades for any jail-related units. Commissioner Ed Olson said the board hopes to decide on a solution by early July and have the treasurer�s office complete the paperwork by early August.
�It�s essential that we propose equipment to maintain the safety of officers in the field. Safety is utmost over cost,� Olson said. �If the officer is safe, that goes a long way to keeping the public safe.�
In other business Tuesday:
� Commissioners approved an extended payment plan for the sanitary sewer connection fee for a new Subway Restaurant on Interstate Circle off Hanley Road.
� The board approved a contract with Page Excavating of Lucas, which was the low bidder for a flood plain demolition of a home on Ohio 61 north in Shelby.
� The board had an hour-long executive session with Dayspring officials to discuss a personnel issue.
Richland County Commissioners seek to fix issues with sheriff's radios

text: November 17, 2010 Must See: 240-Inch Ohio Trophy Whitetail Jason McClintic's 240-inch Ohio non-typical -- and the journey that led to it -- offers a lesson in persistence, patience and making it count when the moment of truth arrives. By Tom Cross Jason McClintic admires his monster Ross County non-typical, which scored 240 0/8 inches as a non-typical and ranks among the Buckeye State's top bowkills.Jason McClintic thought his luck had run out on a buck he had hunted for nearly two years. Then a big non-typical followed a doe down an old tractor trail and changed everything.Ten years ago McClintic bought a small farm in Ross County, Ohio, for deer hunting and to be closer to his job in Chillicothe. "I liked the lay of the land and thought, 'Wow this is a perfect setup for deer hunting,'" McClintic said, "and I liked the old farm house too." It's typical southern Ohio deer country, with rolling croplands of corn and beans surrounded by hillsides of maple, pin oak, chestnut oak and thick second-growth timber.McClintic has taken his share of nice bucks over the years and attributes a lot of his success to the heavy bedding areas around his farm that he calls sanctuaries. "If there is one reason as to why we have the deer numbers and quality of deer, it's because we have these sanctuaries," McClintic points out. "There's 50 acres (that) the neighbor behind me owns that he limits hunting on," McClintic said. "On the corner is 210 acres of pine that's nearly impassable, plus there's some ground on the ridge top that has been select cut recently. I try to leave those sanctuaries alone as much as possible." To find those bragging-size bucks, McClintic sets out trail cameras usually in late summer between the sanctuary bedding areas and the crop fields."Once I set out trail cameras, I place a pile of corn nearby to bait them in and try to get their picture," said McClintic. "I also watch bean fields in September, but my trail cameras tell me what bucks are out there. They tell me what time the bucks are there and what direction they've come from or are going to. I usually set out two to five cameras. Trail cameras are probably the biggest tool I use."It was those trail cameras that first revealed a young sticker-point non-typical plying the woodlands near McClintic's farm."There were no rumors or sightings of that deer I was aware of," said McClintic. "I wasn't even aware of it until I had pictures of it in early January."By the time bow season was underway McClintic's trail camera had photographed three other good bucks."A couple of them were 140-class 8-pointers; the other was a 170-class main frame 10-pointer with triple brow points I had been hunting and missed the year before," said McClintic. "Due to the trail cameras, I knew what time of year I'd expect to see those bucks, and I knew when they'd be gone too." Jason McClintic's Ross County giant carried main beams of 26 7/8 and 25 1/8 inches, respectively, plus 58 5/8 inches of abnormal growth.McClintic split his bowhunting between two spots, one of which was a new location. "It was land that hadn't been farmed in 20 years, as it was always in CRP, but this year it was planted in corn," said McClintic. "But a pack of dogs moved in and started running deer and that affected the hunting."It was during mid-October when one of McClintic's trail cameras revealed the big 10-pointer was back in the neighborhood hanging around some bean fields a mile away."After I started getting photos of the 10-pointer I was definitely targeting that deer," said McClintic. "I have a history with that deer. It was in October of 2008 when he walked into a bean field one evening following a doe. I shot, but I couldn't find my arrow, I couldn't find him, I couldn't find anything. Three weeks later I started getting trail camera photos of him again so I knew I had missed. Then I started getting photos of him again this past October (2009) and I thought, 'Wow he's still around,' so I was ready to go back after him."The photos revealed a red fox and in the next series of pictures was the 10-pointer. "He appeared to be running with a fox, because 10 minutes after the fox was photographed the buck was photographed," said McClintic.The fox and the big 10-pointer were caught on the trail camera crossing into the bean field two evenings in a row just before dark. The third evening McClintic was back there waiting."Right before dark I saw the fox," said McClintic. "Sure enough here came the 10 pointer. He walked down the hill, stopped to rake his antlers on a tree near my stand and then walked over to the corn pile I had set out for the trail camera. That's when I drew and released. The buck ran behind me and stopped and I knew I had missed. I was pretty bummed."McClintic was frustrated after two years in a row of getting a shot at the big 10 and missing. "I told a friend, 'He's yours because I can't kill him; it just ain't meant to be.'"After that miss, McClintic couldn't regain his momentum."Nothing was working," said McClintic. "I wasn't seeing anything. I was getting frustrated and started jumping from stand to stand. Another thing happened too -- they picked the beans and the deer left."McClintic moved from the bean fields and began hunting the CRP property again but without any luck. Leaving the bean fields for a few weeks was an unknowingly smart move on McClintic's part. The undisturbed deer started to regroup in the area and McClintic started noticing a few does in the picked fields in the evenings on his way home from work.A few days later, McClintic received a text from a neighbor reading, "Spotted a few does out in the field.""I started thinking the does have moved back in, so maybe I need to move back in and see what happens," said McClintic.It took Jason only a few minutes of sitting in his tree stand to shoot the bowhunting trophy of many lifetimes. This is just one of a number of huge non-typicals recorded in southern Ohio over the years. Years ago McClintic built a stand in a tall slender locust tree he calls Ol' Faithful. The stand is located on a fence row along the bean field edge. "It's a good textbook place to have one, so I just built one there," he said.McClintic describes the area as a little finger ridge off a 50-acre sanctuary bedding area that tapers down into an old pasture field with crabapple trees and weedy ditches abutting a couple of 30-acre bean fields. A true bottleneck, McClintic says.Looking back, McClintic realizes that staying out of the area was probably the smartest hunting he did all season."I hadn't been checking trail cameras I hadn't been putting out corn," said McClintic. "If I had been back there hauling corn or checking trail cameras, I might have moved him out. Not only that, if I'd gotten a picture of the big non-typical I would have hunted the place to death and probably messed it up. In a way, it was a blessing I wasn't back there, but it wasn't planned.""One evening I got home from work late, grabbed my hunting clothes and thought to myself, "I don't have much time, I'm going to the bean field to see what happens,'" said McClintic.The bowhunter quickly hiked back to Ol' Faithful, arriving at the stand a little after 4 p.m."I didn't have a lot of confidence, as I was just putting in my time, but that's how you do it." said McClintic. McClintic hadn't been in the stand 10 minutes when behind him something caught his eye and he turned to see a doe standing 25 yards away in an old tractor trail. The doe looked nervous and suddenly took off trotting up the hillside. About that same instant McClintic spotted antlers and immediately knew it was a shooter."He was coming along the edge of the woods doing a stiff-legged trot with his head straight out. Then he picked up his head and trotted over to where the doe was standing and I drew my bow," McClintic said. "I remember he put his head down and turned, that's when I saw a lot of points. I was trying not to look at his rack," said McClintic. "When he turned, I almost released but waited as it seemed he was trying to find the doe. Then he backtracked, trying to pick up her scent. When he turned again and was headed toward the doe, he gave me a broadside shot at 25 yards and I released."McClintic shoots a Bass Pro/Red Head, Kronik compound with Gold Tip carbon arrows tipped with Wasp Jackhammer SST three-blade expandable broadheads.At the shot, the big non-typical bolted into the brushy hillside, paralleling an old tractor trail that McClintic had walked in on and evaporated."It happened so fast, I don't know what happened," said McClintic. "I was thinking, "Did I hit or did I miss," and I wanted to find my arrow."Five minutes of tension proved to be too much for McClintic, and he climbed down and quietly walked over to where the giant whitetail stood, looking for his arrow."I spotted my arrow and it was blood soaked," said McClintic. "Then I took a closer look and saw some hair."After a few minutes, McClintic gathered his composure and started quietly walking in the direction of the deer."I was slipping along the old tractor road watching for any sign of deer," said McClintic. "All the while, I was asking myself, "Should I cut into the woods and try to find the blood trail?'"After 75 yards, McClintic thought he heard deer and moved a few feet off the path to try to get a look. "I was trying figure out if it was him, some does or a different deer," said McClintic. "Satisfied it wasn't anything, I turned back and as I started to walk I glanced down the hill and in a patch of tall grass I spotted a white belly."According to McClintic the buck hadn't traveled 150 yards."When I picked his head up, I thought 'Oh my gosh,'" said McClintic, who had to sit down to come to grips with the tremendous buck he had just bagged. "That feeling was a feeling I've never had before. It was unbelievable. I broke into a sweat and then chills and started asking myself, 'Where did this thing come from?' Then it hit me, I know what deer that is, that's the 'Pop Can Buck.'"McClintic recalled a trail camera photo taken last January over a corn pile.When McClintic checked his trail camera the year before, the younger non-typical was the first photo taken by the camera."I started going through the pictures real fast and he was the very first picture from the night before but he really didn't catch my eye," said McClintic. "The next day, when I pulled it up the computer screen I could see those sticker points and I thought that's a good deer. Later I called a friend and told him I've got a photo of a young buck with a lot of points and huge bases. That's how he got the name 'Pop Can,' because that's how I described how big his antler bases were. So I saved his picture under the file name Pop Can."McClintic didn't get any more trail camera photos of 'Pop Can" that year and never laid eyes on the massive buck until that November evening after a late day at work and 10 minutes in Ol' Faithful.Official Boone & Crockett scorer David Haynes, from Ross County, who scored the McClintic buck, said it will likely rank among the top 15 deer taken in Ohio and will stand as the biggest bowkill for the Buckeye State in 2009.After the 60-day drying period, McClintic's buck was officially scored, grossing 250 5/8. After 10 5/8 inches of deductions, the Pop Can Buck's non-typical final score came to 240 0/8 B&C points. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Memories of life on mission field don't fade
May 11, 2003
Rosalyn Mock's small frame barely fills the chair in the lobby at Garden Square Assisted Living Center in Greeley.
She hasn't felt much like eating since she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease six weeks ago. She can't hear without a hearing aid now.
But boy, can she talk. She turned 90 last week, and she can still tell stories about the 31 years she and her husband, Henry, spent as missionaries in Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Peru.
Rosalyn started writing a book about her experiences, "Mi Casa es Su Casa" ("My House is Your House"). But she won't finish it before she dies. She hopes her daughter, Rhoda Rogers, will.
Rogers chuckles at that. She doesn't have the same memories her mother does.
"Every time I hear the stories, I'm reminded of what amazing parents I have," Rogers said.
Recommended Stories For You
Rosalyn and Henry grew up in South Dakota and met at Gospel Tabernacle Church in Sioux Falls. They went to the same college, North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, Minn.
Rosalyn signed up to become a missionary in South America, and Henry wanted to go to China. The Mocks decided on Ecuador after they got married in 1937.
Like missionaries today, the Mocks raised their own money to live overseas. Churches gave them about $2-$4 per month. By contrast, churches today give individual missionaries hundreds of dollars a month.
But the Mocks lived in small villages, didn't need a car and made do with what they had. The Assemblies of God denomination sent them to Cuba first to learn Spanish.
Rogers, her twin brother, David, and their younger brother, Paul, were born in the United States, but they grew up in Latin America.
Rogers has fond memories of Cuba and the Dominican Republic. One day the family watched Fidel Castro come through their Cuban village on a train. In the Dominican Republic, they lived next door to the dictator's girlfriend.
Food was simple, usually beans and rice or a piece of avocado or yucca plant. Once, Henry drank bad water on a train in the Dominican Republic, came down with typhoid and spent 28 days in the hospital.
Henry started churches in both island nations. The churches were groups of people, not buildings with pews and steeples. People gathered in a 9-by-9 room inside someone's home.
Rosalyn organized vacation Bible schools for children and taught women. Rogers used to wake up in the morning to find only her father at home. Her mother had hopped on a bus in the middle of the night and traveled to the other side of the island to set up a vacation Bible school.
The goal of their ministry was innovative for the 1950s and '60s, when many Western missionaries set out to change not just people's faith, but culture and tradition as well.
"Missionaries used to arrive with an attache case full of Americanism," Rogers said. "But my parents' goal was to start churches, train locals to be the leaders and release the churches into their hands as soon as possible."
After Rogers and her twin brother graduated from high school in the United States, the Mocks went to Peru. They took Paul, their youngest son, with them.
Rogers never went back to the mission field except to visit her parents. They lived near Lima, the capital, and farther south in Arequipa.
After 19 years in Peru, they retired from missionary work in 1977 and moved to Greeley. In 31 years, they planted more than 35 churches.
Their youngest son died in a motorcycle crash in 1974. Rogers' twin brother died three years ago of cancer.
Today, Henry is 89, almost 90. He has Alzheimer's disease and lives at Centennial Health Care Center, 1637 29th Ave. Place, next door to where his wife lives at Garden Square Assisted Living Center.
The only time Rogers recognizes the father she used to know is when he prays.
"My dad is still preaching," Rogers said. "It's amazing when we ask him to pray. Even with Alzheimer's, he's just as clear as a bell. He knows exactly what to do."
Rogers never wanted to become a missionary like her parents. Her 33 year-old son, David, is a surgeon in the U.S. Air Force. He's working on a master's degree in theology and may be the next missionary in the family.
Rogers has found her ministry at Salud Family Health Center in Fort Lupton. A diabetes nurse educator, she uses the Spanish she learned as a child.
Through miscarriages, a divorce and now the failing health of her parents, she hangs on to the faith her mother and father passed on to her.
"Growing up, I always knew where my stability was," Rogers said. "Even right now, my family is in some crises, and I know where my rock is. It's in the Lord."
