I had a 24-hour layover on the way to Albania in Vienna. So I did what any sane person with a ridiculous layover would do. I spent the day exploring Vienna and rested up at a hotel (where I had the first bubble bath I've had in 2 years).
I had been to Vienna before when I was a student at Charles University in Prague for a weekend.
(Stephanplatz- this is where the 'center of the action' is in Vienna).
Vienna's overwhelming beauty never ceases to amaze me. It's a city unlike anything else in Western Europe…
…Where literally everywhere you turn there is something to see, do, or photograph. Vienna, like Prague has made efforts to maintain its architectural integrity.
You can walk around town feeling like you're back in time yet still run into the latest trendy clothing store.
It kind of bridges the best of the old world and the new…
(i.e. you can enjoy pretty architecture and still have your Starbucks too 😉 )
Here you'll find so many street musicians, and singers. Austria is the birthplace of so many of the world's greatest composers after all…
For the most part, my day didn't have a schedule or a plan. I simply wandered around the city and saw where I ended up.
But just so you know- Vienna is a very easy city to get lost in (whether you want to or not…). Most streets look very similar.
But when you do get lost… you can end up in the most beautiful parts of Vienna. So don't be too afraid to.
Admittedly my heart has been more in Eastern Europe lately. For the fact, I love the prices and its more 'off the beaten path' which makes it more exciting. But, that doesn't stop me from enjoying this city.
Even if the Gelataio seriously hurt my wallet (and my Peace Corps. budget).
Towards the end of the day. I decided to go to Prater where the Wiener Riesenrad is located (kind of Vienna's version of the London Eye- except the Wiener Riesenrad has been around for a lot longer).
Prater has an amusement park of sorts there.
As well as another ferris wheel which I mistook the Wiener Risenrad.
But this is the real Wiener Riesenrad:
And it even has a small museum display inside telling you about its history.
I have a confession to make. Even with the amount I have flown over the years… I have developed an irrational fear of heights (no matter if I'm flying or on a ferris wheel).
But the views of the city are amazing… from the Wiener Riesenrad.
And even worth those moments where I had an irrational fear of death 😉
What's also amazing about Vienna is the mountains here.
(Little did I know the mountains in Albania would be even more amazing! But more on that later 😉 )

4 things to consider before buying a HomePod
Two things are clear: the Apple HomePod costs $349 and will be a huge success. But, that doesn't mean the product is an essential addition to your home. In fact, it probably isn't even the best option if you're going to buy a smart speaker. Unless you're a devoted Apple fan, you might be considering whether it is worth buying.
Recently, the tech giant based in California, announced its price, features and release date for the HomePod. The price alone is quite off-putting and probably the main reason people may not be persuaded, but, there are several reasons you should think about.
1. Price
Let's begin with the most obvious factor I just mentioned. HomePod was made available in the US on February 9, and it's not surprising that the device is more expensive than its competition, as the brand has specialized in the high-end market for a long time now. But at more than $220 more than Google Home, and more than $250 more than Amazon echo, it does give the impression that this was an arrogant move. In this price range, do you think Apple can compete with likes of Sonos, for example?
2. Connectivity
An important factor, is how HomePod responds to Siri. With regards to artificial intelligence, Alexa is the most advanced at the moment, with Google being close in second place. Apple however is yet to impress. Since it is an intelligent speaker, its very important that the voice assistance performs effectively when given commands.
In addition, the HomePod will only have Wi-Fi connectivity, while the competition is able to connect via Bluetooth as well.There is a reason for that however, as transmitting audio via Wi-Fi results in better quality. Regardless of this, there is no reason here to suggest Apple will have the edge over the competition in terms of sound.
3. Compatibility
Imagine the following scenario at home: each member of the family owns smartphones from different manufacturers. Mom has an iPhone, Dad has a Motorola, and Son has a Samsung. All three want to use the smart speaker, but if they were to have a HomePod, the only phone that would be compatible with it is of course, the iPhone. The speaker is only compatible with iOS and Apple Music.
4. Sound check
The sound quality of this speaker is undeniably amazing, as you can see in the video below. The HomePod's best function then seems to be the sound, not the intelligent home control features. Overall, is it worth the $349 price tag?
According to the latest news as well, the speaker leaves a white ring on wood surfaces, which Apple have now included as a warning on these devices. We hope this didn't happen to any of you!
Are you going to buy one of these speakers? Why choose Apple over Amazon or Google? Let us know in the comments.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Several people have left comments on our Facebook page, saying they've seen more snakes on the South Plains since the July 4th weekend floods. One Tahoka woman is just glad her father is alive after being bitten by a rattlesnake multiple times.
Penny Redman said she always knew her dad was a fighter. "He's been a real trooper, he's a tough man," said Redman.
A couple of weeks ago, 87-year-old Pug Parker of Tahoka went outside to get something out of a toolbox. "He's diabetic so his vision is very poor, he reached in with his left hand because he can't see, feeling for a screw and evidently there was a mom and some babies," said Redman.
Parker was bitten ten times. Baby rattlesnake bites are more venomous than adult rattlesnakes. "They don't know how to stop releasing the venom. They release all they have. Adults can judge how much they want to release," said Redman. Parker was rushed by AeroCare to Covenant Hospital, and on the way to the hospital, the flight nurse administered anti-venom in the helicopter.
A few years ago, this immediate medical attention may not have been possible. AeroCare started carrying the anti-venom in 2008. "When AeroCare made the decision to carry the anti-venom, it was something that we could deliver to the rural communities that might not have the resources locally," says flight nurse Bobby Sanchez.
Medical experts say after you are bitten, you have a four-hour window to seek medical attention, but the sooner you can get doses of the anti-venom, the better, and Redman believes that is why her father is alive today. "He's a miracle... he is."
Parker was checked into Covenant Specialty Hospital on June 24th. Doctors say he could be ready to go back to Tahoka as early as next week. His daughter tells us that he is healing like no diabetic should heal.

When I went to Iceland the very first thing I KNEW I wanted to do was go on a private Ice Cave tour. I have always loved ice and glaciers so when I found this, it was a sealed deal. When we first came upon these, this is what it looked like. I wasn't too sure where the ice cave actually was, but I was just in shock at how beautiful it was from the outside.
With this specific tour we had to ice pick our way across the ice into the cave, and repel down into it.
When you get in, this is what it looks like. Freaking beautiful, right?!
As you go down deeper you see the actual cave.
The color is out of this world. The light shining through the ice. Plus, the details of the ice is insane. Everywhere you look it's a piece of art. I was so pumped I was able to do this. Literally changed my life.
Sundra Taylor July 6, 2018
Wow, this is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful place. Iceland is and has been a place on my bucket list for quite some time. Still looking forward to going. Thank you for posting, you make it look and sound so much more beautiful. Will reply back when it is my turn to go. 🙂

The Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission is in the process of asking residents or property owners in Dufferin Local Service District to see if there is sufficient interest in creating a Rural Plan for the area.
Did you know that property owners, like you, in Dufferin Local Service District (LSD) receive their building inspection and planning services through the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC)? Did you also know that Dufferin LSD is able to have its own rural plan much like the neighbouring St. David or Bayside LSD? This informational survey is being sent to property owners in your community to gauge interest in having a rural plan.
What is a Rural Plan?
A Rural Plan is a land use planning tool that helps each community set goals and strategies about how it will grow and develop. It balances the interests of individual property owners with the wider interests and objectives of the whole community. The objectives outlined in a rural plan are the goals of the community. They are a vision of where the community wants to see itself in the future. Some objectives may deal with preserving rural character, others with promoting orderly economic growth, and still others with protecting the environment.Creating a rural plan is a participatory process involving the whole community and facilitated by the professional planning staff at the SNBSC.
A Rural Plan may:
- Protect land values;
- Minimize the potential for conflicting land uses (e.g. large industry separated from residential areas);
- Define and enhance Dufferin's rural character;
- Reflect land use concerns affecting social, economic and environmental issues;
- Guide future development according to community need and direction; and
- Establish formal public consultation opportunities for a community on proposed land use changes to the area.
A Rural Plan does not:
- need to create unreasonable rules or regulations (i.e. prescribing colours of paint);
- make Dufferin LSD a municipality or have anything to do with amalgamation;
- become a document that is forever set in stone – can be amended by Minister after public hearing;
- Trigger changes in assessment or taxes
- work retroactively – anything non-conforming under new rural plan becomes grand-fathered.
How is a Rural Plan developed?
Working with Dufferin's LSD Advisory Committee members, a planner from the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission will prepare a background research report and draft a rural plan for the Minister of Environment and Local Government to consider adopting. This is only after a public hearing takes place in accordance with Provincial legislation. All community members of Dufferin will be encouraged to participate in the process long before this public hearing and to help inform the creation of a rural plan.
If you live in, do business in, or own property in Dufferin LSD, we invite you to fill out this short survey.

South East All Progressives Congress (APC) State Mhairmen and Secretaries on Saturday passed a vote of confidence on the Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and urged him to step in and rebuild the party in theregion.
The five state chairmen and secretaries of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo made this known during a visit to the for Abia governor in his country home, Igbere, Abia State.
The party leaders who spoke differently congratulated him on his appointment as Chief Whip of the ninth Assembly adding that aside being the highest elected office holder from the South East, Kalu remains the man with the strongest will and capacity to rebuild and reposition the party.
"We met and touched on relevant issues in the party including its fortunes and growth status in the South East. We discussed in details the party's unity and prospects. At the end of the meeting, we came up with certain decisions based on party's issues and needs and we have unanimously passed a vote of confidence in you to step in and rebuild our party," Abia APC chairman, Donatus Nwankpa said amidst thunderous applause from other leaders.
Chairman of Enugu chapter, Dr. Ben Nwoye, noted that the aspirations of South East for fairness and equitable development would be better met under an APC-led Federal Government.
He pleaded with Kalu to reorganise the South East APC arguing that calling for meetings of party leaders and stakeholders is one of their expectations of him .
Chairman of Anambra State, Chief Basil Ejidike described Kalu as a true leader with passion for the welfare of the ordinary people. He praised him for his "grand efforts in strengthening the party and working assiduously for its continuous growth."
The Senate Chief Whip, who has been in his country home interacting with his constituents since the senate commenced its recess, apologised to the party leaders for hosting them in Igbere instead of Abuja as requested.
He charged them to write and officially congratulate the newly appointed ministers and other appointees from the region.
The party, he said, will retain its presidential seat beyond 2023 as long as President Muhammadu Buhari remains in the party. He also proposed to the party to make President Buhari the Chairman of Board of Trustees (BOT) upon the expiration of his second tenure.
"Your concern about the unity and growth of our great party in the South East is in order because the job is on your desk. I am much more concerned than you. And let me tell you, anybody telling you that the APC will not come back after 2023 is only deceiving himself. The only reason that could make APC not to return after 2023 is if President Muhammadu Buhari leaves the party. And you all know the answer. As a party, we should be thinking of not just the present but the future of the party. We should be thinking of how to retain President Buhari as an active player in the party after the expiration of his second tenure . This, we can achieve by asking him to be the chairman of Board of Trustees of our party."

cryotherapy « on: January 02, 2018, 03:04:32 pm »
Did anyone do cryotherapy in an attempt to reset the body (hormones etc.) ?
And sleep better ?
I start a series of cryo sauna this week.
Re: cryotherapy « Reply #1 on: January 02, 2018, 05:10:27 pm »
i would be cautious with cryotherapy – it is very extreme – the whole idea of it is to set off a massive endorphin release to heal and repair the body – which is normally a great thing – but in withdrawal – that could be a tough thing for the body to tolerate and could ultimately make things worse. when i was in withdrawal round 1 and didnt understand what was wrong – i took low dose naltrexone – as it's a similar concept although no where near as extreme as cryotherapy – and i didnt sleep for 10 days. it set off a dramatic adrenal gland reaction that was awful.
i know a lot of people who've done cryotherapy to heal from lymes – it normally is a great healing modality but i'd approach it with caution.
not sure how your body responds to exercise. if you are one of the people who does really well with it – cryotherapy may have a positive outcome – if you do not tolerate exercise – like it sets off adrenaline and makes your symptoms worse – i can almost guarantee cryotherapy will have a paradoxical effect for you.
if you try it – certainly let us know how it went. I have a facility right near by that i plan to use once i feel my body could handle it.
Re: cryotherapy « Reply #2 on: January 03, 2018, 05:17:46 am »
A word of caution…I have read of many different therapies having been used by folks on BB and have tried many myself. So far I have not heard of, or experienced, any that work. A whole lot of money and time was spent chasing these hopes. I have long since come to the conclusion that time is the only healer of what we are all going through.

I Agree with Aloha and […]. I spent $7,000 going to the Coleman institute in September 2016 for his touted Flumazenil treatment. It did nothing except reset my recovery clock by X amount of time and flatten my wallet! Unfortunately the only way out is through the recovery process, which is all about time and more time. I will be 17 months off on Friday and I am still recovering in the sleep department. I had a decent night of sleep last night, but the night before was about 4 hours of broken sleep. There will be many ups and downs until your brain "fixes" things. In desperation we all look for that "magic" cure, treatment, supplement, therapy, etc. They don't exist.
Re: cryotherapy « Reply #4 on: January 03, 2018, 04:37:58 pm »
Tomorrow I will start the first of 3 treatments.
I focus my hope again, already did acupuncture, supplements, and I exercise and do normal sauna .
It is not that expensive, 20 euros per session.

Mike Cornman recommended to the Council that we take this bid under advisement.
Gina Hawkins made the motion we take these bids for asphalt, bituminous material and aggregates under advisement. Patrick Stoffers seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Gina Hawkins read Ordinance 97-5 by title only, this was a second reading.
Donald Ashley made the motion to accept Ordinance 97-5. Geraldine McIntyre seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Gina Hawkins read Ordinance 97-6. Donald Ashley made the motion that we accept Ordinance 97-6. Gina Hawkins seconded.
Mike Cornman said any questions? Geraldine McIntyre said when we were doing this in the Planning and Zoning we forgot to add apartment, right now if you have an apartment its a parking space and one half. Geraldine said should we correct this to also include apartments? Rick said this will cover duplexes, single family to two family. Rick said it wouldn't cover apartments, which has a different Code reference. Geraldine said do we need to amend this Ordinance to say apartments? Rick said that would be a separate code section, this would just take care of single and two family. Rick said if you want to change it to apartments there is a different section for apartments.
Melvin asked on single family housing you have got to be able to park two cars off the street? Mike Cornman said that is correct. Gina said, it says within the structure as well, so does that mean it has to have a two car garage? Mike Spencer said it means a two car garage. Jim Davis questioned duplexes, like the duplexes, Garreth Blackwell built on Laubs Lane. Jim wanted to know if you are going to require him to put a 2 car garage per each duplex? Jim said so each duplex that is built you are going to require a 2 car garage attached to that duplex, so they can park their vehicles inside? Mike Cornman said it sort of looks like it.
Geraldine said this is a new Ordinance and anything built from now on. There was more discussion on the two car garage. That is what the Planning and Zoning Board agreed on. Gina asked to have 2 car garages? Geraldine said no, just 2 parking places. Don said everybody would have to be able to park at least 2 automobiles
off the street.
Rick Coppock looked at the Town Code book and said it should be for each separate dwelling unit within the structure. It should read 2 parking spaces shall be provided for each separate dwelling unit within the structure. If you had a duplex you would have to have two separate dwelling units within that structure. We were not intending to have 2 car garages it was 2 parking spaces. For each separate dwelling unit within the structure, so if you had a duplex you couldn't count it as one dwelling unit, it would be considered as two separate dwelling units, it has nothing to do with garages, we need to change this wording a little bit.
The intent was to have two parking space for each dwelling unit within the structure.
Mike Cornman said we have a motion and second on the floor so what do we do?
Rick said change the Ordinance. Mike Spencer said you need to move to amend.
Mike Cornman said it should read-two parking spaces shall be provided for each separate dwelling unit within the structure.
Mike Spencer said move to amend to include that language, then he would say you need to table it to make the final vote until he makes the changes.
Geraldine McIntyre made the motion that we move to amend Ordinance 97-6 to change the language from two parking spaces shall be provided for each separate dwelling unit within the structure. Mike Spencer said that is what the language should read. Geraldine replied yes. Gina Hawkins seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Mike Cornman said we had a motion on the floor to accept this. Mike Spencer said yes there is a current motion if you want to vote on it, you can vote on the amended motion.
This is just a first reading. Mike Spencer said if this is just a first reading you don't need to table it.
Mike Cornman said there is a motion and a second to submit that for first reading for Ordinance 97-6 as amended. Motion passed 4-1, Mike Cornman voted no.
Jewel said this essentially talks about 2 things, one is the Endwright Center and the other is Edgewood Village across the street. The Resolution is brought to you as a means of preserving the integrity of that area and that development. The Endwright Center was brought in originally for senior and youth opportunities. Head Start has withdrawn as we know so it is senior activities but it also includes youth in intergenerational activities. Maybe somewhere in the future there will be youth activities but right now it is senior and intergenerational activities. They have some youth activities and they have some plans for more, she wants to make sure you know and understand that. They see it as a good positive recreational facility for this community and for the area. Jewel would like to have everybody help celebrate bring that new center into the community. They would like to set, at Mr. Endwrights request, June 28th as the date for the dedication of that facility. They have not set the time yet.
Jewel said they welcome anybody to come up to the facility and after March 31st it will be done. They are holding out funding for things like the airconditioning that they can't finish until it get over 70 degrees. Jack was suppose to put the pavement down today and it didn't get finished because it was to cold and cloudy. It is going to be pretty close to done on the thirty first. They are going to be starting their activities on the first of April. Dr. Bill Breshue will be there Tuesdays and Thursdays where they will be doing fitness and health activities. He is doing one on one, personalize health care, health plan, for everybody in their exercise schedule. They have the gym, basketball and volley ball. They are planning on bring the kids in for some after school activities as well.
Jewel said the housing across the street has returned to the development that was okay through the Planning Commission. She wants to assure the neighbors that this is going to be a planned community and of high quality and that is pretty much what this says in here (referring to the Resolution). They are looking for some fairly nice housing to come in there and help the seniors out. She thinks that will be a nice part of the Town of Ellettsville and they plan to work with you to make it that way and that is why they have the Resolution for you this evening.
Mike Cornman said you are talking about the preserving of the integrity of the development, is it being threaten right now by anybody or anything? Jewel said it was threatened by her last time, if you want to look at it that way, she changed it. Jewel felt like she needed to come back to you and say that we are going to bring it back around to the way it went through the Planning Commission.
Geraldine said this means you will have home health care? Jewel said they are going to put up housing and there will be some caring in the housing units, yes.
Mike Cornman said in the definition of Preservation Area, they did not get an Attachment A. Jewel said that is the 2 acres that the Endwright Center sits on and the 14.1 acres is straight across the street that the housing development will sit on.
Mike Cornman asked if this borders 46? Jewel said no it does not. Mike said it says the definition of preservation area, the area bounded by Reeves Road to the south, Edgewood
Drive to the north , Highway 46 to the northeast, the describe in Attachment A. Mike
said he didn't think it went that far. Jewel said it doesn't say that in the resolution.
March 24, 1997 Ellettsville Town Council minutes continued
That is just because when she (Eleanor) was talking about that she was talking about working with the school, the Richland Beanblossom School. Just has to do with when they were trying to get the school kids up there. Look at section 6, plan development is located on the unproved land off School road and Reeves Road south of Edgewood High School in Ellettsville, Indiana.
Mike Cornman said on section 2, it says the Edgewood Village and development designed by Area 10 agency. Mike said shouldn't it have read as designed by Bynum & Fanyo and Associates, that is what came to the Plan Commission and was approved and to the Council, he knows it was with her blessing. Jewel said they did put the map together, we designed the housing and they drew it for them. Jewel said they put in the sewers, the septic, hills and valleys and all that kind of stuff.
Mike Cornman asked should there be something in there that says, going to use the plan as approved by the last, date? Jewel said it's a PUD3 plan and so they will be going back before the Zoning Board one last time, she thinks. Jewel asked Rick if they have to go before the Zoning Commission one last time with their plan? Geraldine said not unless you are going to do it like you did before. Jewel said don't tell me we are totally done.
Mike Cornman said a question that has come up between some of the Council members, is why are we doing it. Jewel said why are you voting on this? Mike said why are we doing it if we thought you are going to go back to your original plan. Jewel said because she didn't think they ended very good last time. She needed to come back here and make sure that she had on paper exactly, if this is what you want, that is what we agree to, so she can proceed. Jewel doesn't wants to go out there and waste her time and everybody's time, she wants to make sure she is heading in the right direction.
Mike Cornman said the reason he voted against it last time was he doesn't think the town should be abating something….. Jewel said there is no tax abatement. Mike Cornman said he understands, but something that could be done on your own so to speak. Jewel wants to make sure we are on the same road here, she is finishing with the Endwright Center, she thinks it is a good center, it was not exactly as we described it in the beginning. The Head Start is not there. Jewel discussed more with the Council.
Geraldine wanted to know if she took some land across the street for busses? Jewel said they did ask for some parking space across the street for people who are using the center. They think they may need overflow parking sometime. Jewel said there was no bus parking across the way.
Geraldine asked Jewel if they are still going to do the condo part? Jewel said her focus right now is try to get the apartments, but she does want to work with developers to put in high quality housing. She wants to make sure that everybody knows that is what the goal is.
Geraldine said you are still going to have the housing for 55 and over can live? Jewel said yes. Geraldine said they are to be bought by the people? Jewel said the one unit in there is apartments and then there are other units owned by the people. Geraldine said you are still going to have in that one little section, but you are going to tone it down some, like in care housing, for people that need assistance, that was in the original plan. Jewel said yes, but it is not assisted living, it's called care. Jewel doesn't want to deal with the assisted living standards. She doesn't want to be held to those standards because they change them all the time. Jewel discussed this with the Council.
Donald Ashley wanted to know if it is day care type of services? Jewel said or people that have their own apartment, like phase four of Richland where they would be totally handicapped assessable and there would be home health aids in there to help them and that kind of thing.
Geraldine wanted to know if it would be where they didn't have to go out in the weather and they could wheel chair themselves around all through there, like they would come out their door and go down a hallway? Jewel said yes, and she would hope so, she wants to give them the maxim amount of privacy, that is her concern and the maximum amount of space.
Donald Ashley asked if this was basically the same plan that we on the Planning and Zoning approved some time back? Jewel said that is right. Mike Cornman said it is the exact same plan, right? Jewel said that is right, that is what she has dropped back to.
Mike Cornman asked Mike Spencer if he got a copy (Resolution) of this today? Mike Spencer replied yes. Mike Cornman asked him if he had anything to add.
Mike Spencer said it seems to him that the part of the resolution that deals with the development, the community plan, he thinks he understands what you are wanting to do, but it is confusing, just because of all the questions that have came up. Mike Spencer said you have been approved, it is his understanding by the Plan Commission for PUD, right? Jewel said yes we have. Geraldine said she doesn't understand why the resolution has to be signed. Jewel said because she wants to make sure that we are all in agreement. Jewel said she left here last week pretty discouraged and she figured she had better come back here and listen to what you folks where saying and bring it -----so we are all together on this. Jewel said it sounds like we are all together on it, that is all she wants.
Mike Cornman asked Jewel on this project are you still going to seek state assistance? Jewel said if we are going to have the funding for some of these units-----it is $500 we are going to go out and get some sort of help, yes. Mike Cornman said you also expressed to him that still there was an urgency to have some paper work in by April 1st, so you are more or less still going for the same grant, or what ever? Jewels said that is the reason she sat down and talked to Marion Jacobs, we are not even using the same kind of funds.
Mike Cornman said that is understandable, and he thinks they all understand that, the question was, your going to still apply for the same thing your were going to apply for when you were here two weeks ago, your just not going to change the plan and your not asking for abatement. Jewel said that is right.
Mike Cornman asked Jewel if she needed this, so she could go to the State to say what we do have the town in agreement with this part here? Jewel said yes, we do have the thing that we have been through with the town already as far as how it has been approved. Jewel said their concern is they can build it two ways, we can build it nice or we can put it up, and they only way we know to make it nice so we know it is going to be the quality we want is to go out and get some help with the funding.
Mike Cornman said we never have done that (resolution) before to his knowledge,---------we would set a precedence by saying if you give a resolution for Area 10 to get state assistance now such and such development is going to do a Farmers Home we would like to have a resolution for you guys. Jewel said this resolution has nothing to do with state assistance, its not in here, she didn't see you wanting to deal with that the last time she was here, she did not put it in the resolution, that is something Area 10 is going to have to deal with, out there by itself.
Mike Cornman said but in fact you will probably use this when you apply, right?
Jewel said she will and she will use this in the dedication of the Endwright Center. Jewel will use this in the dedication of the new housing to make sure that we maintain standards that we have set. Jewel wants who ever works with this to know that we are going to have some sort of high quality standards, we are looking for something nice for the senior citizens. Jewel said she is using this to maintain standards. There was some discussion.
Donald Ashley said he can't see any use in this resolution for the very simple reason we have already passed the plan----, we have already agreed with what happened at the Endwright Center and how it was built. Don doesn't think this resolution is at all necessary. Jewel said you didn't seem to agree with the Endwright Center last time she was here and there is no qualities set for the material across the street. Jewel said she has vendors that can go both ways and they can still meet you specks.
Geraldine said she thinks what Don is saying, when you were here the last time you were wanting to put in low income apartments. Jewel said she was asking for a tax abatement. Geraldine said a tax abatement and those apartments were going to be HUD, some of the use of those apartments paid by HUD, right? Jewel said, Eleanor said they could use Section 3 because it is against the law for anybody to turn down Section 3, you can't as an apartment owner in Ellettsville refuse a person who comes to you with a Section 3 certificate, it is against the law.
Jewel said this is not rent subsidized, it is not like Richland Apartments, it is not even in competition with Richland Apartments. There is specific rent set for the facility.
Gina said she thinks, Jewel, has told them, you brought us this (resolution) in order to show us, or prove to us that you are wanting high quality. Jewel said she wants to know what you want, if you guys don't want high quality….Gina said of course we want that. Jewel said I am just going to pack it in and turn it over to those guys. Gina said, I think we are confused about is why you are bringing this to us saying you are going to put in high quality things, and of course we want the highest quality anyone can get. Jewel said she has put a new building up there and she doesn't want a bunch of junk sitting right across from it. Gina said the question is why do we need to sign a resolution to that? Jewel said because the thing you passed before didn't deal with the quality of the housing across the street. There was more discussion.
Mike Spencer asked Jewel, say you don't put something up of quality, what can I do with this? Jewel said this document? Mike Spencer said yes. Jewel said I think that this document says, to anybody who develops, she doesn't care who it is, if you want to put something over there, it needs to be nice, because that is what we set that aside for.
Mike Spencer said he thinks, like Rick has mentioned, we have within our ability certain powers. Mike said one of our powers is to enforce building ordinances. Jewel said but you can meet code with all sorts of different levels of quality. Mike Spencer said he understands that, but you are seeing this as a broader document than he------as far as he can see this has no value to us. Jewel said maybe it just has value to me, because it speaks to her to say that this is what we envision up there for----folks. Jewel said we want to have housing that is quality housing. Mike Spencer said let him suggest another alternative, why don't you write us a letter and say we are going to put up high quality housing there, and we will write you back a letter saying that sounds real good, we are all for you, go do it. Gina said that is what she is saying that is why she thinks we were kind of confused as to why it needed to be done in resolution form.
Dan Rogers said maybe the resolution should be made by our board and signed by our board and then presented to these people. Jewel said understand because there are going to be homes that our owned by people and built by people, it is not just them, other people are going to be building houses. Geraldine said then I think you need to bring this before the Planning and Zoning to.
Rick Coppock said there is already an existing recorded plat that has to be vacated to implement the R-3PUD plan that was approved. Rick said as part of the R-3PUD plan
there were single family lots showed on the plan, so if you want to insure high quality development then your covenants are restrictions for those lots and development should
contain specific wording as to the type of foundation and exterior finishes and roofs and
things like that which would in effect insure the high quality of the development because
the owners of the property within that development then could have some grounds to
dictate who was building next door to the. Jewel said right. Jewel said but this at least
gives me something to hang my hat on.
Mike Spencer said he thinks Rick Coppock has hit the nail on the head, the way that is done, what you are talking about is through the covenant and restrictions. Mike Spencer said for example in his subdivision they have a covenant and restriction that is 42 pages long, telling what you can do and what you can't do, what color you can paint your front door. Mike Spencer said that is how you do that and that way it is enforceable by somebody. Jim Davis said but not by us. Mike Spencer said right not enforceable by us. Jewel said then you stick the enforcement back on--. Mike Spencer said we don't have the power to do it, even with this resolution, we're saying that you are going to do this, it is almost like we are warranting. Jewel said you are saying to Area 10 if you are going to put a development across from that nice Endwright Center, then make it nice. Mike Spencer said we need to have done that when we approved your PUD 3 and said
well we want these covenant and restrictions in there. Mike Spencer said in other words its got to go with in the form of the structure we have, that we can enforce something. Mike Spencer said the way we do that, we say look at your covenant and restrictions, we want this in your covenant and restrictions, we want those added. Mike Spencer said that way we are forcing you to build high quality development.
Mike Spencer said with this document here we are not forcing anybody to do anything we are almost public guaranteeing that you will do it and if you don't then we are almost going to be liable to people to get penalized. Jewel said you are putting the responsibility here falls------your saying Area 10, if you are going to design you better make sure it is high quality. Mike Spencer said but your name is not on this. Jewel said it says development designed by Area 10. Mike Spencer said it is not an agreement, you really need to do what you want to do which I think is good, within the context frame work of an enforcement previsions that we had and the way we do it is exactly like Rick said. Mike Spencer said what you need to do is bring me your covenant and restrictions and lets go over your covenants and restrictions and maybe what we need to do is amend your covenant and restrictions under the PUD. Mike Spencer asked do they have those in the PUD? Rick Coppock said I don't believe so. Mike Spencer said what about the housing aspect of it, there is covenant and restrictions in that aren't there? Rick said there has never been any final plat. Mike Spencer said when the final plat comes in we have to have something. Rick said they would have covenants and restrictions with the final plat. Mike Spencer said so when that final plat comes in lets get those covenant and restrictions built up high enough. Jewel said this helps her set them where she wants them. Mike Spencer said you don't need this.
Jewel said we put a lot of money in that building across the street and they would like to see the development next to us be nice. Mike Spencer said but you are doing it aren't you? Jewel said not necessarily. Geraldine said doesn't that land belong to Area 10? Jewel said it does not, not an acre of it. Mike Spencer said this will have no effect on that developer then. Jewel said this says to Area 10 we can go to the developer and say we met with Ellettsville and we want to work with you to develop this high quality and she agrees it should go back before the zoning board one last time, that is how she believes it has to be done. Jewel said she came to get this so when she deals with the developer she can set the level of quality that she thinks needs to be across the street there.
There was a long discussion on this matter.
Mike Spencer made some changes and deletion to the resolution, the changed resolution is as follows:
Resolution 3-97
"A resolution approving the planned development in furtherance of the
Edgewood Development Plan for Ellettsville, Indiana to include the
Endwright Center.
WHEREAS, Ellettsville, Indiana Developed the Endwright Center to sever as a
resource center for the community providing senior and intergenerational
activities, and
WHEREAS, Ellettsville, Indiana developed the Endwright Center to serve as a
recreational facility for the elderly, and
WHEREAS, Ellettsville, Indiana desires to invite the public to celebrate the
addition of the Endwright Center to the community,
Section 1: June 28, 1997 shall be the date for the Dedication of the Endwright
Section 2: That this resolution shall be effective and in full force after its
approval by the Town Council, all by law provided.
Gina Hawkins read Resolution 3-97. Mike Cornman said is there a motion to approve Resolution 3-97 as amended. Gina Hawkins made the motion that we approve Resolution 3-97 as amended. Geraldine McIntyre seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Gina Hawkins made the motion we approve the minutes and claims. Donald Ashley seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
Mike Cornman said he was asked by Jiles McKeel of the Ellettsville Exchange Club, permission to do a fund raiser at the stop light on Sales Street, it will not be on the Highway. Mike said this is a similar request that was made last year.
Mike Cornman recommended to the Council to approve this road block for Sales Street for April 25, 1997. Donald Ashley so moved. Geraldine McIntyre seconded. Motion passed 4-0. Gina had to leave the meeting early.
Mike Cornman read the following proclamation;
Whereas, child abuse is an ever-growing tragedy across America that affects the lives of every one of us; and
Whereas, nearly three million cases of child abuse were reported last year, affecting the lives of millions of children into whose hands we will eventually entrust the future our nation; and
Whereas, we need to create greater public awareness of the problem of child abuse by educating everyone we know on the seriousness of this social malignancy;
March 25, 1997 Ellettsville Town Council minutes continued
No, Therefore, as Town Board President of Ellettsville, I ask all citizens, and in particular, parents, to respond to the call of preventing child abuse. Support the Exchange of Ellettsville in it Quarters for Kids Blue Ribbon Campaign, themed "Treat Your Children Well," Wear a Blue Ribbon pin to indicate your dedication to children;
And Further, I do hereby proclaim April to be Quarters for Kids Blue Ribbon month in Ellettsville, to help focus public attention on the increasing problem and join forces with the Exchange Club of Ellettsville through both example and education, to combat child abuse.
Mike Cornman asked if there was a motion to accept this Proclamation to Prevent Child Abuse.
Patrick Stoffers so moved. Donald Ashley seconded. Motion passed 4-0.
Mike Cornman asked Mike Spencer to bring him up to date on his conversation with Ty Conner. Mike Spencer said he spoke with Ty Conner and he also spoke with the Council at Ice Miller. Mike Spencer said there are two ways of handling this at this point and time. One, build the tower, and we can buy it from them at a set price or we build the tower and we will have to finance it, and that is the problem. Mike Spencer said since this is water we are under the auspices of the IURC, that means we have to get their permission to do this and that means it takes us longer to get it done and slows us down but we would have to issue bonds to get that done. Mike Spencer said there is two ways of doing that, you can do it the way we did with the sewer plant, if you will recall we issued a ban which was a bond anticipation note for a year or less as an interim financing method and then once you issue the ban you can go ahead a start your construction then you would also continue to processing issuing permanent bond, that is the one that would take a long period of time. The ban you would use because you can get that done relatively quickly and you do not need IURC approval for that since it is less than one year. Mike Spencer said since the bond funding which replaces the ban is for longer than one year you need IURC approval and that is what takes you a long time.
Mike Cornman asked Rick if he had anything to add about the time frame here. Rick said the time frame is still about the same, which is the tank and the supply line really is critical. That it, is up an operational by around December 1st of this year, that is why there is some kind of a time crunch on this.
Mike Cornman said in regards to Cook putting it up or us putting it up, did that discussion ever come out with their engineer? Rick said he talked to Greg Blum today and he said he was going to have to get with the people at Cook and discuss whether or not they were willing to put up one point two or three million for the tank, if they wanted to do that much, have that much out of pocket expenses and one of his main concerns was that actually was purchased from them on completion by the town-----insurance along those lines. Rick said that was his major concerns right now. Rick said he (Greg) was going to try to get with them within the next two or three days and see what his higher ups thought about it.
Mike Cornman said a couple things comes to mind, our master water works plan called for a second water tank to be constructed in 1995, is that right? Rick said the plan was actually 1985. Mike Cornman said but it was said by 1995 we would have a second tank put up so we are already going to be year and half, two years out where we should have been any ways for our water supply and reserve capacity that's required the other thing is to make sure Cook maintains what they have now.
Rick Coppock said this actually started around September of 1995, they contacted George about the possibility of getting some type of water because they needed more volume and more pressure at their plant site than they currently had. Rick said that was a requirement they had through the State Building office for their expansion that they did at that time. Rick said they actually obtained a permit to put a tank on site, and not wanting to be in the water tank business, that is when they contacted George and asked what can be done, if the town was maybe willing to work with them and develop some other option. Rick said 18 months has passed since then and they are still pretty much at that same point except for the fact that they are getting ready to go in for another expansion at that plant site and they still have got the water issue hanging over their heads because expansions require buildings to be sprinkled, and they just didn't have the volume of water to do that. Rick said that is what makes the time frame critical and if becomes a real issue with the State offices it could kill the expansion project and they would have to do the expansion at a plant some place else and move those operations out of Ellettsville. There was more discussion.
Rick said the town currently uses about 800,000 gallons a day which comes from the 12 inch line along State Road 46 from Bloomington. The town has reserves of 500,000 gallon tank out on Louden Road which is part of the original water works plan. Rick said if you have a major break somewhere along 46, you are going to be out of water rather quickly. That is why there is a need to build at least a 350 or 500 thousand gallon tank, you would really probably want more storage than that, but for this particular area that is the size of tank you are looking for which would also feed the downtown area and maintain the water pressure at what it is about now. Rick said by building an elevated tank you can have almost the same level as the Louden Road tank which is one a ridge and is quite a bit higher than the area on McNeely Street where we are looking at or even where the original plan stated. Rick said it is probably a good move for the town, it's something the town is going to have to do anyway and Cook is willing to put what expenses they were going to have into a tank into building this tank in partnership or what ever for the town.
Mike Spencer said it is his understanding that Ty is going to be down next week. Geraldine asked Rick, you said you would know in three or four days or he would know in three or four days. Rick said right, he was going to take to them in three or four days, he wants the maximum amount of assurances that he can get before he goes into that meeting because the more he is assured the more comfortable he will feel with it and the better he can sell it to his superiors.
Mike Cornman said at this point it would be a continuance, perhaps at the next meeting we would know what size or sizes we need to decide on what size tank we want and then how to proceed with the ban, or whatever or do we do it now? Rick said I think we need a 500,000 gallon tank. There was more discussion on this.
Mike Cornman said would it be suggested to wait till Ty Conner has his numbers official or is this something we need to approve tonight, or bring up for a vote tonight? Geraldine said she thinks Greg wants to know tonight, right? Rick said Greg wants to know something definite as soon as he can. Rick said he is not sure what your vote would be. Mike Cornman said it could be pending our accountants recommendations?
Mike Spencer said it seems to him you could take a vote to direct your accountants and your engineers to that work that is necessary to come up with how we would finance this tank, the methods to finance and whether it is financially wise for the Town of Ellettsville to do that and to agree that the Town Council is interested in pursuing building the tank subject to information we get back from our various experts.
Geraldine McIntyre made a motion to what Mike just said. Geraldine McIntyre said I make a motion that we turn it over to our finance people and Rick to come up with the finances for this and she feels the town does need the other tank and maybe they could work with Cooks and get it started. Donald Ashley seconded. Motion passed 4-0.
Mike Cornman said there is a letter from Kay Neal that says, this is a request from the Utilities Department for permission to write off these small amounts so that we can clear accounts. The amounts are penalties applied after the final bills were not paid on time.
Total water $3.46, total sewer was $24.80 and total hydrant fees $18.77.
Donald Ashley made the motion that we clear the water and sewer accounts. Geraldine McIntyre seconded. Motion passed 4-0.
Rick Coppock said they have been working on the water line along Woodyard Road to do this---property research on that and laying out some preliminary provisions for a line. Meet with Scott Dompke of the City of Bloomington Utilities to coordinate tying into their systems so that when the 46 project starts the town will have an actual secondary source of water from Bloomington, in case of some unforeseen circumstance we would be able to continue to operate as normal.
Geraldine McIntyre made the motion to adjourn. Donald Ashley seconded.
Motion passed 4-0.

If you have a startup business or an idea for a business, never think you are the only one with that idea. You may be, but don't think that way. It will cause you to procrastinate. And it could very well be a false comfort.
You have great ideas and you want to make them into a reality. In the early stages of business, business loans and business funding can help you start and grow your business. You may just need the startup capital for equipment, supplies, marketing, etc. You may need to lease property for your store and pay for utilities.
Depending on the industry you choose, you may need significant capital to get started. You may also find it tougher to get loans from banks than you expected. You may find it difficult to get funding from anywhere if you have not set yourself up for success. I recently wrote an article about free credit reports and improving your credit scores. In most cases, your credit score will impact your ability to get business funding as a startup business. You should check it and ensure you have a fighting chance. You should know your credit score before you apply for business loans or business funding.
Business loans and business funding for existing business
If you are an existing business, you may already know the importance of having a good credit score when it comes to business loans and business funding. But, you may have made some decisions that have impacted your credit. You should make sure you know your credit score by using free credit reports. If your credit is low, you will need to take action to correct that.
You have other options as well. Since, you are an existing business, you may already generate income in your business. If you are looking for business loans or business funding for expansion, equipment, payroll, marketing, etc., you may be able to leverage your existing business income.
In other cases, you may want to look to see if you have any collateral that could used for business loans and business funding. You may be able to leverage collateral to acquire the funding you need.
How to get business loans and business funding
By now, you already know some of the things to look for before you apply for business funding. Your credit score is usually important. You may be able to also leverage existing business income or collateral to get business funding. When you have reviewed your current situation, you will have a general idea of whether or not you can get business loans and business funding.
If you believe you are ready for business loans and business funding, you can visit the website below. You can see all the funding options available and you can request a free consultation. This is your first step towards getting the business funding you need to start or grow your business.

. . .Continued from Part I, June 14, and Part II, June 29. Those posts can be accessed by clicking on "Grits" in the right column.
Still Tied
The tally on whether grits is or are is even. So, let's keep going.
First, the Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual, 29th edition, The Associated Press press, 1994: I'm quoting. "WORDS PLURAL IN FORM, SINGULAR IN MEANING: Some take singular verbs: measles, mumps, news. Others take plural verbs: grits, scissors.
Score one more for are.
Second, The Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition) tells you to look it up in the dictionary. Well, o.k., cowards.
Let's start with Webster's New World Dictionary for Young Readers, 1976. Grits is starred as being an American English word meaning "coarsely ground wheat or corn." They tag it plural.
One more for are.
Then there's The American Heritage dic tion ar y of the English Language, 4th edition, 2000: Grits (grits) pl.n. (used with a singular or plural verb)
One more for are and one more for is.
Grammar Books
We'll start with a really EARLY one: English Grammar, G.P. Quackenbos (I am not making this up), New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1871.
The Preface by the author is dated 1862, almost 10 years before publication. I guess the Civil War delayed publication or Quakenbos didn't want to give the South any free PR:
In offering the present Grammar to the public, the author [never refer to yourself personally was a rule much in vogue in 1871] begs leave to refer to the work itself [his own book] as the best exponent of those peculiarities [his own views of grammar, as stated in the previous paragraph] by which it [this book] is to be approved or condemned. . . .
Oh BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, boring. I'll put the rest in a footnote.
So, all that said, let's see what Quackenbos says about grits. On page 43 of the yellowed, fragile pages, he says:
91. Singular Nouns. – The following nouns have no plural: --
3. The names of many articles sold by weight or measure; as, flax, lard, lead, cider, milk, pitch, rye."
While he does NOT specifically cite grits, we in the South know grits were sold by weight or measure; he was from and lived in New York before the Civil War. If he didn't even know grits existed, how could he have included them in his list?
Then he lists plural nouns that have no singular. Again, grits is/are not on his list, but greens are.
So, what can we conclude? Oh, hell, nothing. But for fun, we'll give is a vote.
Finally, I turned to a grammar book that was revised in 1952 by Dr. James B. McMillan, who was my graduate school linguistics professor at The University of Alabama. The UA Press's building is named for Dr. McMillan. If anyone knew, he knew. It's Writing and Thinking, published by The Riverside Press in Cambridge. I call that credible.
In the section about subject/verb agreement, p. 111, McMillan says:
Use a singular verb with most nouns which are plural in form but singular in meaning.
Note: Many nouns with a plural form may be either singular or plural in meaning.
Almost always singular: economics, . . . mathematics, . . .measles, mumps, news. . . .
No grits. But, in contradiction to The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, if grits is like news, it's singular. One more for is.
Is is up by one, I think. Like, who cares. This calls for a recipe.
Cajun Grits
Talk About Good!: Le Livre de la Cuisine de Lafayette (25th Anniversary edition. Junior League of LaFayette 1992), like many Junior League cookbooks from across America, is an all-around good cookbook and has plenty of grits and hominy recipes for future posts. Here's one:
Grits Bread (p. 118)
3 c. cooked grits 4 beaten eggs
1 c. uncooked corn meal milk as needed
1 Tbsp. baking powder 1 stick butter [Remember this ingredient.]
salt to taste cooked sausage or bacon
Mix cooked grits, corn meal, baking powder, salt and eggs together. Add a small amount of milk, only enough for mixture to be a thick consistency. Cover bottom of baking pan with cooking oil, add mixture. Top with margarine [butter?] and sausage or bacon. Cook one hour at 400 degrees. Mrs. Richard Williams
Remember the butter? The recipe says to cover the bottom of the baking pan with oil; then it says to top with margarine Where does 1 stick of butter go? One stick is a lot. So here's my suggestion. Drop the oil and margarine. Use some of the butter for the bottom of the baking pan; then top the bread with butter; then butter the bread for toast with butter. Have we about used it all up?
Now it doesn't make a damn whether grits IS or ARE. Eat 'em and the war's over.
FOOTNOTE: The Quackenbos book. Warning: It's boring.
"Grammar has hitherto been a dry and hard subject to teach [as is this man's writing]. It is here sought to make it [grammar] easy and interesting by combining practice with theory, example with precept, on a more liberal scale than has heretofore generally been done. . . .[Now I'm really eager to dig into the book's details.]
Words are classified as parts of speech solely and exclusively according to their use in the sentence. This course does away with all arbitrary distinctions, and enables the pupil to classify words readily and correctly for himself." [The italics are Quackenbos's, not mine-o's.]

You've been asking for it… and now it's here! Today We launch the Skysense Precision Landing. Your drone can now land fully autonomously on the Skysense Charging Pad, enabling you to run repetitive and on-demand drone inspections and surveys. Skysense Precision Landing relies on computer vision and gives extremely good results with a maximum error of less than 4 inches (10 cm). A really big thank you goes to our customer NASA JPL for inspiring our work in this specific area.
The problem: "How do I land precisely on the Skysense Charging Pad?"
How many times we heard this question and, we hear you, this is the most common problem customers face when they start working on repetitive and unattended drone missions. In the typical scenario, the drone takes off from the charging pad, flies through pre-defined waypoints, and needs to land back on the charging pad in order to recharge. The GPS positioning is not accurate enough to hit reliably the charging pad, hence making it impossible to deliver fully automated charges.
The solution: Skysense Precision Landing
Skysense Precision Landing is a fully automated landing system, installed on your drone, that takes over your landing procedures once the drone is above the target marker. Upon completion of the drone mission, the drone reaches the location where the charging pad is installed, triggering the activation of Skysense Precision Landing. The system locates the target marker and guides the drone exactly above the marker while landing with a maximum error 4 inches (10 cm). The drone can then recharge and prepare for the next mission.

Developer Kit
The kit comes ready to be installed on your MAVLink-enabled and DJI drones. The package includes:
- Intel Compute-Stick doing all the magic
- Industrial-grade Camera used by major computer vision research groups
- High-end Access Point 2.4 GHz Lan PoE already paired with Intel Compute-Stick WiFi
- Landing Marker in robust plastic material and design files
The installation is straightforward: Connect the Intel Compute-Stick to a) camera, b) drone telemetry port and c) power supply. Don't forget to fix everything firmly in place.
Perform your first precision landing demo:
- Power On the provided Access Point and the drone
- Connect your laptop to the "precision-landing" WiFi network
- Browse to http://skysense.demo
- Takeoff, simulate a mission and hover nearby the Landing Marker
- Click on "precision landing" and monitor the progress
Skysense Precision Landing's API runs on top of ROS and can be accessed with services and topics over a WebSocket connection. Besides the demo website, the kit includes example code in Javascript and Python languages.

Mary De Bree '05, Spanish
Mary De Bree is working as an assistant for Sen. Hillary Rotham Clinton in Albany, N.Y.
Judy Fisher Decourcey '83, French
I was a business major and a French minor at Skidmore. I recognized the names of the retired French professors and I believe I had most of them in my French studies at Skidmore. I was the second class to study my junior year abroad in Paris (1981–1982). I was recently at the web page reading about how the program has grown. My friend, Pam Mowry Guild '83, and I were on work-study together and for our work, we put together a booklet for future students to use (how to's, what to know before you go, etc.). It was a fun project. I will always remember the importance that year played in my life: the opportunity to live in and learn about different cultures, the opportunity to travel to other countries, to realize that there was more than just the "bubble" of the United States. I think it is even more important in these difficult times.
After Skidmore, I moved to Boston for six years and while living there, I earned my MBA at Northeastern University. I now live in Canandaigua, N.Y., (south of Rochester) and work at Rochester Institute of Technology in the Human Resources Department, where I am the senior benefits specialist. I don't use French at all in my work, and I know that I have forgotten most of what I learned, simply from lack of use. I have not forgotten, however, the importance of knowing about other languages and cultures. With two young children, overseas travel is really not a possibility for me now. But I hope to go overseas again in the future.
My interest continues. This year, I am serving on the Foreign Language Curriculum Review Committee as a parent representative for the Canandaigua City School District. It is great to be able to play a part in this review and make recommendations for changes in the future. While it was only a one-year commitment, it is a four-year project, and I think I will continue next year as well. I feel like I can make a contribution for the future students and hope to shape their lives by this learning opportunity as well.
Alexandra DiGiacinto '13, Italian
Jocelyn Ditzel '99, French
I live in Washington, D.C., and I work at a private, nonprofit organization called Meridian International Center. I work in the Programming Division of Meridian, and we operate under a grant from the State Department to arrange professional programs for international visitors who participate in the International Visition Program sponsored by the State Department. We arrange programs for visitors from all over the world and oftentimes I work on projects that include visitors from French-speaking countries. I have had the opportunity to use my French skills not only at work, but when I have traveled abroad. In fact, immediately after I graduated from Skidmore, I moved to Paris for a year to teach English at a public high school.
Stephen Doff '91, Spanish
Graduated an inter-departmental degree in government and Spanish. I graduated from Binghamton University in 1997 with a master's degree in secondary education and Spanish. I currently live in suburban Baltimore, Md., with my wife and daughter. I have been a foreign language teacher at Centennial High School since August 1997. Currently I teach both Spanish and French. I am proud to be the Spanish AP teacher at CHS and have developed an incredible AP program. To date, the program has an excellent success rate. Out of 31 who have taken the test, 27 of those students have earned a 3 or higher.
With the foreign language education I received at Skidmore, I have been able to bring my own foreign language students to a new height in both language study and cultural understanding. The high standards set by my professors at Skidmore enable me years later to promote critical thinking, hone various problem-solving skills, and give students the confidence to function in authentic real-world settings using Spanish. Many ex-students of mine who are now at the post-secondary level, have called, written letters of thanks, and come back to Centennial, to let me know that they are now majoring in Spanish, studying abroad, and using their Spanish abilities to springboard into the study of other languages. Ironically, these students were the ones who were only taking Spanish "for the credit". Now they have realized just how valuable they really are in today's ever-shrinking world. Now they not only study it to further their own careers, but for the joy of truly knowing another culture.
In addition to teaching, I tutor and have a translation service for local businesses. During the summer, I work with other foreign language teachers in Howard County Public Schools to develop and implement new and exciting foreign language curriculum.
Sarah Donovan '96, Spanish
Location: Hoboken, N.J.
Occupation: Professor of philosophy, Wagner College (starting Fall 2003)
Graduate Education: M.A. (1998) and Ph.D. (2002) in philosophy, both from Villanova University
After graduating from Skidmore with a double major in philosophy and Spanish, I pursued graduate studies in philosophy. My graduate program required me to take two language exams—one in French and one in German. Although my graduate exams were not in Spanish, the techniques for learning a language that I acquired at Skidmore prepared me to learn a second and third foreign language. In addition to helping me with my graduate studies, speaking Spanish has enriched my life experiences both abroad and at home. I have used my language skills in situations as diverse as traveling in central America to conversing with Spanish speaking friends in my apartment building.
Erin Dunlevy '01, Spanish
My name is Erin Dunlevy. I graduated with a double major in Spanish and English in 2001. I am currently teaching Spanish in a public high school in the Bronx, N.Y. I work with a student population that is over 60% Spanish-speaking, so I use my Spanish every day, both in and out of school. This past year I directed a Spanglish version of Romeo and Juliet that reflected some of the changes that are happening in the Spanish language. In the coming year I plan to continue working while earning a master's degree in Spanish.

Marie Ellsworth '75, French
I graduated from Skidmore in 1975. I am now director of the Caldwell-Lake George Library. In my spare time I am an avocational archaeologist and am educator/outreach coordinator for the Adirondack Chapter, NYS Archaeological Association. I often participate in excavations at French & Indian War sites. (Ft. William Henry Military Cemetery and Fort Edward, N.Y.) and often use my French in doing documentary research on the sites. My background in French is also useful in library work, whether answering reference questions or assisting students from France who work in the village during the summer.
Joanna Foyle '98, French
[I] graduated a double-major in psychology and French in 1998. I currently live in San Francisco. I went straight into work for a marketing agency and have not pursued additional education.
I work for MPG Media Contacts, a global internet marketing company with 17 offices in 13 countries around the world. As an account director, I manage the San Francisco team and am ultimately responsible for the client relationships and work product coming out of this office. While I do believe that as the world economy and business become more global my French will become more integrated into my profession, I don't currently use it very much. We will sometimes need to purchase ad space from French websites, in which case I'm sent in to decipher the site for contact information. We do have an office in Paris (and our parent company, Havas, is headquartered in Paris). There was talk at one point of relocating me to that office, but I was reluctant to leave the States at that time (having studied in the Skidmore-abroad program in Paris, I know moving there permanently isn't as simple as just having a job!).
I still read as much French as I can get my hands on, I keep in touch with my French family with whom I lived on the Skidmore program, and I translate menus for my boyfriend in the French restaurants I drag him to! I have returned to Paris once since my stay (spring of 1999) with my aunt, who had never been, and we had a blast; my boyfriend has never been, and Paris is definitely on our list!
Mark Golden '98, Spanish
I graduated in 1998. After graduating, I spent a few years traveling around the U.S. I spent one year working with Mexican sixth and seventh graders as a bilingual teacher's assistant. I later traveled to China to study martial arts. I happened to meet my "wife to be" on the airplane. We have a 5-year-old daughter, Mariana. Along the way, I managed to get two graduate degrees in business. I currently own two wine/liquor stores in Boston.
My Spanish studies have certainly helped me in several circumstances. The knowledge attained from learning another language and understanding another culture has helped me to communicate better with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. For example, my wife is from China. She learned English as a second language. She says that I was the first person she met in America that truly understood her. Since I studied another language, I was able to understand the difficulties in expression via a second language and work through those difficulties.
Esther A. Goldschlager '00, French
I graduated in 2000. I work in the public relations department of a French advertising agency in New York City. I was a French/psychology major at Skidmore. Email: email@example.com
Paul Goldsmith '05, French
I did travel abroad to Paris my junior year, the spring semester of 2004. It was the highlight of college for me. I can't begin to count the ways in which I benefitted from my trip to Paris. My speaking and listening skills increased greatly, and my listening skills have stayed at a fairly high level since leaving, even without the daily interaction with French. The confidence gained from being forced to speak French on a daily basis, and around the clock cannot be replicated by simply taking high-level courses. I was also subjected to another culture, which gave me a different perspective on how societies can function differently. Studying abroad was an amazing experience (as anyone who has done it will tell you), but it is something that needs to be done in order to understand why everyone loves it.
I do not use my French in the workplace, although the majority of law terms are French, which allows me to understand certain terms without asking. I do use French on a fairly daily basis however, as my girlfriend is French, and we watch the French news together, and read the French newspapers.
Bettina Graves-Muto '83, Spanish
Después de graduarme de Skidmore, asistí a Boston College donde obtuve un M.A.T. (Master of Arts in Teaching), con especialización en literatura hispana y española. En realidad fue una continuación de los estudios que había empezado en Skidmore, pero también se me dio la oportunidad de obtener experiencia en la enseñanza. Durante los dos años que estudié en Boston College, pude enseñar varias clases del primer año de español mientras cursaba mis estudios.
Al recibir mi diploma de Boston College, obtuve una posición en una escuela secundaria llamada Brooks School. Durante los ocho años que trabajé en Brooks, tuve la oportunidad de enseñar todos los niveles de español desde el primer año hasta la clase de "Advanced Placement Spanish Literature", una de mis clases favoritas. Por razones familiares, dejé la enseñanza durante un período de 6 años para dedicarme al cuidado de mis dos hijas. Hace tres años que estoy de regreso en Brooks, enseñando varias clases de español. Debo mencionar que durante los 6 años que dejé la enseñanza, trabajé en la empresa de mi esposo en mi tiempo libre. El es un distribuidor de marcapasos y también un consultor en computación. Tuve muchas oportunidades de usar el español con sus clientes y pacientes. Vivimos en un área donde hay una gran población de hispanohablantes.
Nací y me crié en Venezuela de madre venezolana y padre estadounidense, pero como asistí a una escuela internacional, nunca estudié literature hispana o española hasta que ingresé a Skidmore. La base que recibí durante aquellos cuatro años me dio un impulso excelente para continuar mis estudios, y al mismo tiempo fue la primera vez que pude apreciar la riqueza literaria del mundo hispano. Es más, frecuentemente utilizo la información que aprendî en aquellas clases de Skidmore, con mis propios alumnus.
Jane Baldwin Henzerling '97, Spanish
I live and work in Phoenix, Ariz. After graduating from Skidmore, I served as a Teach For America corps member in Phoenix, where I earned my teaching certification with a bilingual endorsement. Currently I am pursuing an M.Ed. in educational leadership at Northern Arizona University.
Every day I put my knowledge of Spanish language and Hispanic culture to use as a bilingual elementary school teacher. Not only does my command of the language enable me to communicate with my students, help them acquire academic content, and aid them in improving their literacy skills in Spanish and English, it shows them and their families how much I value them and their cultural backgrounds. Given that Spanish is not my native language, it also models for students and families the importance and enjoyment of acquiring a second language.
In addition to my teaching duties, I serve as the Bilingual Program coordinator at Ed & Verma Pastor School. In this role, I coordinate language programming, student assessment, and staff development workshops related to language acquisition. I also work to influence district and state language policy to better meet the needs of English Language Learners.
Katie Huss '05, German
I graduated in 2005 with a double major in German and art history. I am currently living in Vienna, Austria, working as an English language teaching assistant with the Fulbright Commission. I received the position in 2005 when I graduated and chose to remain a second year because I was enjoying myself so much. I am certainly using my language skills now, although not so much in my job as in my day-to-day life. I studied abroad twice while at Skidmore: once in the summer of 2003 on the SACI program in Florence and with IES in Vienna in the fall of 2003. I found both experiences really just whet my appetite so to speak for living and working abroad and were a major factor in my decision to apply for jobs overseas after graduating.
