Cazenovia The Cazenovia Board of Education meeting room overflowed with students, parents, coaches and other supporters of the districts girls softball program last Monday, Jan. 27, all of them there to lobby the school board to create a second modified team to accommodate the large influx of new seventh grade players moving up this year.

Without the addition of a second modified team, supporters claim, the program will have to cut about a dozen players this year since the program currently has no junior varsity team and the modified and varsity teams can only have a certain number of players. Such a circumstance could permanently harm the future of the program, since cut players may move to another sport, some argued.

Frankly, we didnt see the numbers coming out of the youth program like they did, said varsity softball coach Ed Roickle. He told the board there are already 42 players signed up for this years program, and, without a third team, 10 or 12 girls will get cut. There wont be any other way to do it, and it would be a shame to deny them the chance to play, he said.

The Cazenovia softball program historically has had one varsity, one junior varsity and one modified (grades 7 and 8) team. In 2012, due to large number of ninth and 10th graders on the varsity team, it was decided to temporarily eliminate the JV team while fielding a varsity team of 15 players and a 7-8 modified team of 15 players, for a total of 30 players. Money was included in the budget that year for a JV team but was not used, according to both Roickle and district athletic director Michael Byrnes.

Last year, money for a JV team was again included in the district budget but was not used due to small player numbers at the ninth and 10th grade levels. Instead, the modified team had 18 players and the varsity team has 17 players, Roickle said. After two years without a JV team, no money was budgeted for it in 2014 due to an uncertainty regarding numbers at the seventh and eigth grade levels, but, as it turned out, 42 players signed up, including 32 at the 7-8-9 levels.

School board pressed to add third girls softball team

BUFFALO CENTER | The North Iowa Community School is about ready to unveil a new addition that Superintendent Cory Myer describes as "a mini YMCA."

The addition includes a new gymnasium that has reinforced walls to make it a tornado safe room.

It also has a weight room and locker rooms on the first floor, as well as a fitness room and a suspended walking track on the second floor.

A ribbon cutting ceremony and open house will take place on Sunday, Feb. 9.

The whole facility will be open to members of the public who take an annual training class and are issued key cards. The annual fee is $50.

Myer said the public will be able to use the facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as long as students are not using it.

He said members of the public have been allowed access to the school building for a number of years for fitness purposes, but the new, high-end fitness equipment and walking track give them many more options.

People are particularly excited about the track, which gives them somewhere to walk during the winter, according to Myer.

He said the new gym doesn't have seating because it isn't big enough for that. It will be used as a practice gym by school sports teams, AAU teams and community teams. The district will continue to use the older gym at the school for competition.

The safe room has precast concrete walls almost a foot thick that can withstand a direct hit from a tornado, according to Myer.

There are many reasons for keeping and raising grasscutters. Not only are they friendly, they will entertain you with their antics. In addition, the grasscutter will eat up your kitchen vegetable waste; they can be exhibited and exported too.

Grasscutter farming is great if you have a space as small as a room, parking store or kitchen. They give the farmer less trouble; they can get most or all of their food needs from grass. They are one of the most efficient bush-meat producers. In their wild state, grasscutters are one of the many creatures that practise polygamy. In domestication, they are more promiscuous.

Very cheap to start

Grasscutter raising can be started with a wooden cage and one family of grasscutter breeders normally called a colony, which is sold for N45,000 to N50,000 depending on the age and specie. A colony comprises one male and four females. The cage can be constructed at a cost of N10,000 by any roadside carpenter. The cages can be placed anywhere in the compound or even in the kitchen.

For meat production

Raising grasscutters for meat production is ideal; they are fast growing rodents, live the longest and are also the toughest of all domesticated rodents. They reach a good weight with little supplement feeding and the most preferred bush-meat. The male grasscutter on average reaches a size of up to two times larger than chicken meat. Additionally, they grow quickly and can be sold as a breeder at a young age of 12 weeks after a diet of primarily milk and pasture. This combination of cheap feed and fast maturation makes grasscutters profitable for those raising the rodents for market purposes. Another reason is that they are efficient converters of a wide range of vegetables and grass matters into meat.

For breeding stock production

This is one of the most lucrative aspects of the grasscutter farming. The turnover period could be very short, maximum of three to four months after birth. The grasscutter breeding family comprising one male and four females is referred to as a colony. This colony can produce between 50 and 56 more grasscutters in just one year if well managed. Imagine the financial gains!

For employment creation

Seven reasons you should raise grasscutters

Derrick Brooks, Michael Strahan and Ray Guy were among those who made it to Canton.

Seven finalists made thePro Football Hall of Fame in the Class of 2014 that was announced on Saturday, including recent stars, older luminaries and the first-ever pure punter to be enshrined.

Derrick Brooks was perhaps the most qualified candidate, and Bucs Nationreflected on the career of the former star linebacker who helped bring a championship to the franchise.

Another high-profile addition to the Hall was former Giants' defensive end Michael Strahan, and the folks over at Big Blue Viewincluded a quote from team president John Mara.

"I'm thrilled for Michael," said John Mara, the Giants' president and chief executive officer. "He was one of the greatest players in franchise history. Without him, there's no way we would have won Super Bowl XLII. Not only was he a huge part of that team because of his play on the field, he was the leader of that defense. The other players looked up to him. He established a mark for consistency during his outstanding 15-year career. Very few people played the position as well as he did, particularly because he played the run as well as being a great pass-rusher. He was a leader and a great player and I'm delighted that he is going to his rightful place in Canton."

Former Seahawks offensive tackle Walter Jones made the cut, and Field Gulls celebrated his accomplishments on the field.

Walter Jones is a no-brainer as a Hall of Famer, and it just tells you how incredibly dominant he was that he gets in on his first ballot. Jones is considered by many as the best left tackle of all time, could be considered among the best offensive linemen in the NFL's history, and is obviously up there as one of the Seahawks' best players ever.

Airways Brewing is about to begin an expansion project. The brewery and tasting room will remain at the current location on West Valley Highway, but Airways Beer & Bistro on W. Harrison Street in downtown Kent will be expanded and transformed.

The project increases seating capacity from 35 to 150 with the addition of a family-friendly seating area. A new and expanded kitchen will be added, as well as new ground-floor level restrooms.

The remodel includes a transformation of the currently vacant 3,000 square foot patio into a gated garden space for outdoor music and entertainment. Fire pit tables and a retractable awning will allow the garden to be used year-round. Also outside, Airways intends to add a grill and smoker, which makes Executive Chef Ken Buckley very happy.

The Bistro was something different for us and we didnt quite know what to expect, said Alex Dittmar, founder and head brewer at Airways Brewing Company. We took our already strong brand and built a solid reputation for quality. Thanks to our fantastic customers, weve decided to grow in downtown Kent and I think people are going to love what we have planned.

The patio remodel will come together first, with plans to open the new outdoor space in early summer. Interior remodel plans are being drawn and the process is in motion, however Airways Brewing is not yet able to provide a firm timeline for the project. They expect work to get underway within the next six months if not sooner, with the goal of completion by the end of 2014.

Part of the City

Since opening approximately two years ago, the Bistro has become a beloved downtown business and even earned the Best Economic Engine award from the Kent Downtown Partnership in 2013.

Were very excited about what these changes mean for our company, and the team that has helped build it, said co-owner Dione Dittmar. We also feel that our expansion fits in well with the City of Kents long-term plans for the area, as well as demand from Kent residents for more restaurants and retail in the heart of downtown.

Samples of the deliciousness that will spring from the new kitchen.

The Wall Street Journal published a story last year about the positive impact that craft breweries have on communities and local economies. Other publications have suggested that small, locally owned breweries create jobs and generate revenue, but also foster a valuable sense of community. Such reports validate something that many of us have believed for years: breweries are good for neighborhoods. The ongoing relationship between Airways Brewing and the City of Kent is a manifestation of that observation.

Purdue has made another effort to make things easier for students and their parents to choose Purdue.

The Board of Trustees approved that the room and board rates for the 2014-15 academic year would be reduced 2.5 percent. There were some increases in housing rates, such as in Hawkins Hall, but the overall average came out to be a 0.2 percent reduction.

Additionally, meal plan costs will be reduced by 5 percent. These meal plans, which students living in the dorms are required to have, cost from$2,998 to $5,172. There are also on-campus housing locations where a meal plan isn't required, such as Hilltop Apartments and Purdue Village. Room rates not including a meal plan range from $2,574 in Cary Quadrangle to $9,500 in First Street Towers.

In addition to the reduced dining rates, students in the fall will be able to use their dining dollars in any retail store on campus.

President Mitch Daniels said by increasing the social benefits of living on campus, more students are encouraged to come to Purdue and study over the summer.

"Our pledge to students and their families is to deliver a world-class college experience - from the classroom to campus life - and to keep a Purdue education as affordable as possible," Daniels said in a press release. "By controlling and, when feasible, cutting rates, we seek to extend the clear academic and social benefits of living on campus to as many students as possible."

The Board also approved a $150 discount for the 12-month room and board contract, which allows the student to live on campus year-round in McCutcheon Hall. The aim of this discount is to encourage students to stay on campus in the summer and get ahead with their degrees.

Jim Almond,senior vice president for business services and assistant treasurer, said the principal reason why Purdue made such move was that the University cares about student affordability.

"Most room rates were held constant with Hilltop Apartments, reducing about 4 percent," Almond said. "But Hawkins Hall went up a little."

A new housing option called Third Street Suites is opening in the fall on the West Lafayette campus. Students wanting to look for more information on rates can visit http://www.housing.purdue.edu.

OpenWays announcing another industry first: Global travelers can now use their own mobile phone as a room key and bypass the front desk using ANY of the 6.8 billion cell phones or smartphones worldwide with any mobile carrier worldwide; Mobile Key DUAL Bluetooth Smart is built on a unique multi-technology platform including: Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE), Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Crypto Acoustic Credential (CAC)

Los Angeles -- OpenWays, the world leader in mobile key services for hotels and the developer of the hospitality industry's first ubiquitous mobile-based front desk bypass solution that enables travelers to use any of the 6.8 billion cell phones or smartphones worldwide as a mobile room key, is unveiling yet another industry first: Mobile Key DUAL with Bluetooth Smart (BT 4.0 BLE) -- the only Bluetooth-enabled mobile key solution on the market WITHOUT LIMITS to a particular mobile operating system. The Mobile Key DUAL solution combines OpenWays' Crypto Acoustic Credential (CAC) Technology and Bluetooth 4.0 Bluetooth Low Energy to enable ALL travelers to bypass traditional hotel check-in/-out processes and proceed straight to their rooms upon arrival and securely open their room locks (existing locks supplied by the major electronic lock vendors) with ANY mobile phone, including non-smartphones.

"OpenWays is leveraging the Bluetooth Smart technology platform utilized by our new residential line of smart devices, OKIDOKEYS, which launched earlier this month at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, to strengthen a hotel's mobile strategy and future-proof its line-busting mobile key investment that enables modern guests to bypass the check-in /-out process," said Pascal Metivier, OpenWays founder and CEO. "Mobile Key DUAL with Bluetooth Smart can be deployed globally by hotels without having to worry about which mobile phone device or mobile operating system their guests are using or which electronic lock vendor installed their door hardware."

Mobile Key involves a portfolio of intellectual property including 27 patents, design patents and pending patents. It is based on a multi-technology platform including Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE), Near Field Communication (NFC), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and Crypto Acoustic Credential (CAC).

To see OpenWays" Mobile Key for hotels technology in action, click here.

Twice the Functionality, NOT the Price Mobile Key by OpenWays securely delivers an encrypted Mobile Key "credential" to the right user anywhere in the world. Installation of the technology at hotels involves a simple and cost efficient upgrade to the hotel's existing room locks to include an OpenWays DUAL decoding device. The solution does not require any door modification (drilling) which protects the fire rating of a hotel's room doors.New locks that are factory made with the OpenWays DUAL module built in are also provided by major electronic lock vendors.

Mobile Key DUAL with Bluetooth Smart enables hotels to offer a front-desk bypass solution that contains Bluetooth Smart technologies while still being fully carrier and lock provider independent. It is highly secured and operates on trusted networks. Apple's iBeacon is also supported as part of the Bluetooth 4.0 BLE release.

"Mobile Key DUAL with Bluetooth Smart is guest centric while building a strong competitive advantage for any hotel," Metivier said. "Fewer guest transactions at the front desk means lower transaction costs and the ability to streamline staff to other areas of the hotel where guest-facing services are needed most. It also reduces costs associated with purchasing plastic keycards; because Mobile Key is made only of data, it is the greenest key on the planet.In addition to its interoperable nature, Mobile Key DUAL with Bluetooth Smart is user friendly, and it is helping hotels across the globe deliver heightened customer satisfaction, guest loyalty and brand recognition. As hospitality's mobile key pioneer, hotels looking to jump-start their mobile strategies would be wise to deploy this future-proof and investment-proof solution from OpenWays."

MUSCATINE, Iowa If you're looking to find talented, hard-working teenagers in Muscatine, you don't have to look any farther than the Muscatine High School band room. In addition to regular band rehearsals and performances, 24 students brushed up on their scales and learned new music in preparation for honor band auditions this winter.

"All of the students who do honor bands are always intrinsically driven, work hard, practice, and are helpful to their peers," says MHS Band Director Jeffrey Heid. "They are some of the best students we get to teach!"

Teddy Van Winkle, a sophomore trombone player, explains the appeal of honor bands. "The first time you audition for an honor band...it's just to see if you can make it, to see if you're good enough. But after making SEIBA (Southeast Iowa Bandmasters Association Honor Band) last year, I'm doing it more for the experience itself, the ability to make music with other good musicians."

Van Winkle started playing trombone in fifth grade because, "trombone was the only one I could make a decent sound on," he said with a laugh. Van Winkle also plays the contrabass for the MHS Orchestra and Jazz Band. "It's my thing," he says of music.

Jim Van Winkle, Teddys dad, said, Teddy was born into a musical family. But the hard work is all him. Ive made the opportunities available, but it has been up to him to develop his talents, and he has done an amazing job.

Gabby Hartman, a 14-year-old sophomore, will be traveling to New York to play with the 2014 High School Honors Performance Series from Feb. 6-10. She was selected from among thousands of students from Canada, the United States, and select international schools. The program includes rehearsals, a performance at Carnegie Hall, sightseeing and a Broadway show.

"It takes a lot of courage to compete or perform in front of an audience," said Karen Hartman, Gabby's mom. "We are proud of all of our children as they have developed the confidence to do this."

Hartman has been playing the bassoon for 3 1/2 years, and practices an hour every day, even on weekends. In warm weather, she sometimes plays outside. "Practicing is one of the best parts of my day," she says, smiling.

Hartman received the high honor of being selected for the All-State band last fall for the second time. She also participates in student council and enjoys singing, reading, writing and running.

Thomas Stackhouse is a senior tuba player who was selected for two honor bands this year. "In fifth grade we were trying out for which instrument we could play, and I was trying a bunch of mouthpieces, and the tuba was the only one I could actually fit my lips into to play," he says.
