If you live outside of Mecklenburg County, you may purchase an Annual Sticker to display on your vehicle to receive the same services as a Mecklenburg County resident at our Full Service Recycling and Disposal Sites.
Click Here for Residential Out of County Sticker Fees. Out of County
are for residential use only, and
may be purchased at the Fee Booth at the site. The Out of County Sticker gives residents from outside of Mecklenburg County the same disposal privileges as a Mecklenburg County resident. This does not mean all disposal is free. For a listing of residential fees,
If you choose
to purchase the sticker, you must pay for each entry to dispose of
any item (including recycling). For a list of Out of County Fees, click here.
Why are we doing this?
Mecklenburg County's Full Service Centers are primarily for the use of Mecklenburg County residents. Mecklenburg County residents all pay an annual assessment on their property tax bill that helps support the infrastructure needed for recycling and waste processing. However, the proximity of our sites are near other counties and we wish to have a solution for those residents wo may desire to use our sites. That solution is to either purchase the Out of County Sticker, or pay for every trip into our sites.
The residential disposal sites have seen increasing amounts of materials from residents outside of Mecklenburg County. Several facility users are coming to the site multiple times each day, and appear to be running a disposal service, and using Mecklenburg County's facility for little cost. While we wish to remain a good neighbor, residents from outside of Mecklenburg County do not pay any fees to Mecklenburg County for disposal service. Therefore, to limit our costs and encourage residents to recycle, kitchen type trash will be limited to 5 bags per visit. Residential waste is not disposed of in the Foxhole Landfill. Mecklenburg County pays to have all Municipal Solid Waste sent to the Republic Speedway Landfill in Concord, NC.
Please note, you still have to either purchase the entry sticker or pay for each use. Commercial companies with Construction and Demolition Waste must cross the scales and pay for that material as they normally would.
Separating recyclables at the Full Service Center is mandatory.

Gardeners' Dirt: Squash borers - nemesis to growing squash
By Gerald Bludau - Victoria County Master Gardener Edited by Charla Borchers
Feb. 28, 2013 at midnight
Updated Feb. 27, 2013 at 8:28 p.m.
With winter coming to an end, it is time to begin preparing for your spring garden. One of the most popular garden vegetables in this area is squash, a member of the cucurbit family, which also includes cucumbers, cantaloupe and watermelons.
Growing squash can be fun, offer an abundance of homegrown bounty for friends, family and neighbors and, in most cases, be grown successfully; however, there is one nemesis that bothers most home gardeners: the squash borer.
Diurnal (daytime activity) moth
The squash borer (Melittia cucurbitae) is a diurnal (daytime activity) species of the sesiid, or clear-wing moth. It is known as clear wing because the hind wings are almost without scales. It is 11/2 inches in wing expanse, has a metallic greenish-black color and black and orange markings over much of the abdomen. This moth is often mistaken for a bee or wasp.
It lays its eggs on the underside of the squash leaf, and the developing borers feed inside the stalk, eventually killing the leaf. They soon migrate to the main stem and, if aggressive enough, can kill the entire plant. Sudden wilting of a vine and sawdust-like insect waste coming from holes in the stem are evidence of attack.
They seem to cause the most trouble where only a few plants are grown in gardens and rarely attack other members of the cucurbit family, namely cucumbers and melons. Some varieties of squash are more susceptible than others.
Pesticide is generally ineffective once the larva is in the plant. This is a very difficult pest to control, especially if it is not identified until the damage is done.
As a gardener, you can have some success by trying natural routine control. This may include:
Destruction of vines after harvest to destroy any remaining larva in stems
Early spring plowing to destroy cocoons that may have overwintered in decaying plants
Rotating similar crops to different areas of the garden from one year to the next
Covering roots of the plant to encourage secondary rooting to support plants with stem damage
Destroying moths in early morning or late evening when they are resting on the underside of the leaf
Picking off the eggs before they hatch
In researching this article, I found that this is a very difficult pest to control. One may want to stagger your squash planting, so if you lose some of the harvest, you will have others coming into production.
Applied chemical control
In my own experience, I have had some success by close observation of the young plants. When I see the first bloom, I know the moth will soon be around to feed on the nectar of this bloom. Once I observe the first bloom, I dust each stalk of the plant with Sevin dust (carbaryl) or Malathion at the base of the plant to as high as 8-10 inches. This can generally kill the moth before the eggs are laid. I cannot take credit for this method of control, as I learned this from our former county agent, and it is fairly successful.
I have another suggestion for control - and this is for people who have a lot of time on their hands. Try mixing some liquid Bacillus thuringiensis, according to the labeling instructions. Put this in a syringe and inject each stalk with this mixture. It will probably kill the larva.
A combination of the natural control methods and chemical control if needed is the best course of action to manage most insect problems. Prevent the problem to the best of your ability through good cultural practices and use pesticides if and when a problem arises.
Resort to store-bought
When these methods fail and you really love squash, there is only one other thing you can do. Try the produce department of the area grocer.
Squash is a relatively easy plant to grow for most gardeners and has the ability to provide a continuous supply of the tasty, garden fresh dish for several weeks - or year-round, if canned.
If you are successful at raising squash - and most of us will be - try the excellent recipe included with this article.

Mark Zuckerberg’s immigration lobbyist says President Donald Trump’s 2016 voters will stick with him “100 percent” in 2020 if he signs amnesty legislation backed by the Koch business group.
“Polling and common sense dictates this to be true,” said a tweet from Todd Schulte, director of the FWD.US lobbying group, which is trying to preserve the federal policy of importing more than 1 million new consumers and workers each year. He continued:
People think the President is gonna see a bunch of people vote for a Dem or Howard Schultz if he signs a border and daca deal? This is not a real thing, just a scare tactic.
Schulte did not refer to the more likely result of a Trump-signed, Koch-backed amnesty bill: A sharp drop in enthusiasm and turnout for Trump in 2020.
That turnout slump likely would be seen among the blue-collar Americans hit by illegal migration and among the white-collar Americans who are slammed by U.S. companies’ employment of roughly 1.5 million college-educated, temporary visa workers.
Schulte’s FWD was created by Zuckerberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and a variety of investors to promote amnesty and cheap labor. The group backed the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty which would have allowed an unlimited inflow of foreign graduates and has waged an expensive campaign against Trump’s 2016 campaign and his Inauguration Day “Hire American” promise.
Schulte’s tweet was also intended to defend former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who claimed on Fox News that Trump’s base would support a bill which combined a “DACA” amnesty with some wall-construction money.
Gingrich’s statement was slammed by author Ann Coulter and also by Mickey Kaus, who is a left-of-center, pro-American immigration reformer. Kaus Tweeted:
Newt wasn’t saying ignore Coulter, Trump’s base’ll be fine with no wall. He was saying ignore Coulter, Trump’s base’ll be fine with Koch/Kushner deal to LEGALIZE DREAMERS. Not so sure about that! (‘You voted Trump, you got amnesty!’)
LOST IN THE COVERAGE: Newt wasn't saying ignore Coulter, Trump's base'll be fine with no wall. He was saying ignore Coulter, Trump's base'll be fine with Koch/Kushner deal to LEGALIZE DREAMERS. Not so sure about that! ('You voted Trump, you got amnesty!') https://t.co/LfLmI3fYn7
— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 28, 2019
In his Fox News interview on January 28, Gingrich backed an amnesty for illegals who crossed the border as children — dubbed “dreamers” by lobbyists and a friendly media. He endorsed an amnesty even though their numbers may exceed 3 million, even though an amnesty would eventually provide their illegal-immigrant parents with legal residency, and even though few would ever vote for GOP candidates.
I very much want to see [White House officials] take care of the dreamers as a part of this package, and I know, talking to [GOP Sen.] Lindsey Graham and others, there’s real interest in the Senate on a bipartisan basis to get a deal that takes care of the dreamers, takes care of the southern border, meets the President’s needs and gets signed … Is he going to veto a bill that includes [an amnesty]? I don’t think so.
He should not pay any attention to Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter has never run for office, she does not know anything about how you put a [congressional] majority together. She’s off here in some fantasy land where she gets to be noisy which helps her sell books.
The fact is, the President’s base is with the President … If he goes to them and says “I’ve got this done for the wall, I’ve got this done to protect America, I’m doing these good things you believe in,” the base is going to say “Fine.” Eighty percent of the country believes he ought to find legal ways for people who came here as children to become legal in a way that is not necessarily a path to citizenship, but certainly a path to a job. Sometimes, you have got to say to your base “Hey, if you are really my base you’ve got to stick with me.”
However, the public is sharply opposed to a wall-for-amnesty deal. Breitbart News reported January 28:
The latest Monmouth University Poll reveals that about 88 percent of voters said they oppose efforts to tie an amnesty for illegal aliens to border wall funding. Instead, voters said the issues should be dealt with separately.
More than 80 percent of Republicans, 90 percent of swing-voters, and even 95 percent of Democrats said they oppose an amnesty-for-border wall deal.
Non-college educated white voters, the base of President Trump’s support, massively oppose the amnesty-for-wall deal by about 88 percent. All voters without a college degree oppose the plan by about 89 percent, as well as 92 percent of minority voters.
Coulter — who has slammed Trump for failing to win much wall funding – quickly made fun of Gingrich’s claims by portraying him as a Trump sycophant:
The great thing about Newt is, you can always count on him to tell truth to power.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 28, 2019
The same day, Schulte jumped in to defend Gingrich from Kaus and Coulter:
I mean…100% they would be. Polling and common sense dictates this to be true. People think the President is gonna see a bunch of people vote for a Dem or Howard Schultz if he signs a border and daca deal? This is not a real thing, just a scare tactic. https://t.co/5LYVrshZ1U
— Todd Schulte (@TheToddSchulte) January 28, 2019
“People think the President is gonna see a bunch of people vote for a Dem or Howard Schultz if he signs a border and daca deal? This is not a real thing, just a scare tactic,” said Schulte.
Schulte is a Democrat who uses his Twitter account to boost Democratic candidates, dismiss GOP candidates and jeer at immigration reformers such as Coulter.
An objectively very very strong announcement week for @KamalaHarris.
— Todd Schulte (@TheToddSchulte) January 27, 2019
In late January, Schulte stepped up his efforts to marginalize Coulter, Kaus and other advocates of Trump’s “Hire American” policy which has successfully pushed up wages for Americans. He tweeted:
The whole weird point is people like Ann Coulter have almost zero power. The President is the voice to those voters wishes — but he has people around him who tell him otherwise for their own agendas, and he has FOBL (Fear of Base Loss). But his perception is off.
— Todd Schulte (@TheToddSchulte) January 26, 2019
Deportation jokes are offensive. Your math is stupid. If you weren’t just a racist entertainer you would run for President yourself but you know you would get crushed @AnnCoulter. https://t.co/jfcMPcTCKs
— Todd Schulte (@TheToddSchulte) January 26, 2019
Schulte’s FWD.us backs the establishment’s economic policy of using legal and illegal migration to boost economic growth.
That annual flood of roughly one million legal immigrants — as well as visa workers and illegal immigrants — spikes profits and Wall Street values by shrinking salaries for 150 million blue-collar and white-collar employees, and especially wages for the four million young Americans who join the labor force each year.
Progressives offer more customers & revenue to investors if they help block Trump's 'public charge' merit-reform of the nation's process for picking immigrants. Lots of money and political power at stake. https://t.co/HJ7AyOT5hQ
— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) September 24, 2018
The cheap labor policy widens wealth gaps, reduces high tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high tech careers, and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions.
Immigration also steers investment and wealth away from towns in Heartland states because coastal investors can more easily hire and supervise the large immigrant populations who prefer to live in coastal cities. In turn, that coastal investment flow drives up coastal real estate prices and pushes poor U.S. Americans, including Latinos and blacks, out of prosperous cities such as Berkeley and Oakland.

Hamid is a University of Baghdad professor and founder of New Horizons for Women, an Iraq-based nonprofit organization. As quoted in a recent New York Times article on violence in Iraq, she stated: "It has become part of our daily lives. Just like there is eating, sleeping, there is bombing."
Hamid is part of the American Friends Service Committee's travelling exhibition "Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War." Another one of the members of the tour available for interviews is Les Roberts, co-author of an independent, peer-reviewed study, "Mortality Before and After the 2003 Invasion of Iraq," which appeared in Britain's foremost medical journal, The Lancet, and was conducted by researchers at Columbia University and Johns Hopkins University in the United States and Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. Roberts stated: "Making conservative assumptions we think that about 100,000 excess deaths, or more, have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. ... Violence accounted for most of the excess deaths and air strikes from coalition forces accounted for most of the violent deaths."
Jamail has been an unembedded reporter in Iraq since 2003. He said: "The horrific violence the previous weekend in Iraq is the equivalent of three days straight of what happened in London where so many people were killed. Since that weekend, scores more Iraqis have been killed, while this barely makes the news. The lack of adequate coverage on the catastrophe of the occupation of Iraq continues.... "
Falk is a professor of international law at Princeton and currently visiting professor of global studies at University of California, Santa Barbara. He was a member of the panel of advocates at the World Tribunal on Iraq held in Istanbul last month. He said today: "Never before has a war aroused this level of protest on a global scale -- first to prevent it (the huge February 15, 2003, demonstrations in 80 countries) and then to condemn its inception and conduct. The World Tribunal on Iraq expresses the opposition of global civil society to the Iraq war, a project perhaps best described as a form of 'moral globalization.' ... The World Tribunal on Iraq held its culminating session in Istanbul June 24-27, the last and most elaborate of 16 condemnations of the Iraq war held worldwide in the past two years, in Barcelona, Tokyo, Brussels, Seoul, New York, London, Mumbai and other cities."

Cinnamon: A natural treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Cinnamon may play a useful role in reducing symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This article will briefly outline the symptoms and causes of PCOS before taking a careful look at research examining the potential role of cinnamon in helping women with this condition.
What is PCOS?
PCOS is a common condition in women of reproductive age. Symptoms include ovarian cysts, elevated testosterone levels, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, excess body hair, and difficulties maintaining a healthy weight. Around half of PCOS patients are obese, and most find losing weight to be challenging. Usually, a woman will be diagnosed with PCOS if she has two of the following three symptoms: ovarian cysts, irregular ovulation, and elevated levels of male hormones in her blood.
What causes PCOS?
There appears to be a genetic component which increases the likelihood of the hormone imbalances underlying this condition. Alongside testosterone, insulin is another hormone implicated in PCOS. Insulin is vital for maintaining blood sugar control, allowing blood glucose to cross into cells throughout the body to provide energy.
However, if the body is insulin resistant, this process breaks down and glucose does not reach the cells. The pancreas then produces an ever-increasing amount of insulin to compensate. This excess insulin triggers the ovaries to produce unusually high quantities of testosterone, resulting in irregular ovulation, infertility, and weight gain. A negative cycle begins: an excess of insulin results in weight gain, and excess weight triggers further insulin production. This may explain why PCOS patients find losing weight difficult.
How might cinnamon reduce the symptoms of PCOS?
Given that insulin resistance is a key cause of PCOS, treatment needs to address this problem. Cinnamon may be a natural way of lowering blood glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity when ingested on a regular basis.
Wang et al. (2007) found a significant reduction in insulin resistance in women who took cinnamon every day for eight weeks compared to a placebo control group. A year later, Anderson (2008) concluded in a review of the literature that cinnamon has a positive effect on insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels in individuals with a variety of disorders, including PCOS. More recent research (Kort et al., 2013) found improved menstrual regularity in women with PCOS after taking 1500mg of cinnamon each day for six months. This has positive implications for women trying to conceive naturally.
However, cinnamon's role in improving insulin resistance is not proven. In a review of the literature, Rafehi et al. (2012) conclude that the evidence for cinnamon's role in treating insulin resistance is not yet a certainty, and that a significant number of trials show no beneficial effect . In addition, future research in this area needs to be of higher quality than that carried out to date (Rafehi et al., 2012).
More research into the effects of cinnamon on PCOS is needed, and therefore the decision to try cinnamon supplements needs to be made by a woman and her physician following careful consideration of the existing evidence. Regular cinnamon supplementation of around 2g per day may have a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity. Patients must always consult a licensed physician before trying any new treatments and should not change their existing treatment without appropriate medical supervision.

Iowa District Court Decision holds the physician missed the filing deadline for reviewing the Iowa Board of Medicine’s final decision regarding his not meeting the standard of practice that restricted his general surgery practice. It appears a motion to reconsider the Board's decision was filed twice and unless the decision is changed, the deadline for judicial review runs from the denial or presumed denial with the initial motion to reconsider.
The phyciaian was ordered to complete a comprehensive clinic competency evaluation. According to the press release he was reprimanded and ordered to pay a $5,000 civil penalty and to complete a medical record keeping course. That appears to have been on October 22, 2010 with the original charges being filed on January 17, 2008. On April 19, 2011 the Board approved the doctor’s plan and return to practice of general surgery subject to the ongoing monitoring plan and Board supervision. On November 16, 2012 the Board terminated the order, returning the doctor to full privileges, free and clear of restrictions.
The doctor filed a petition for judicial review after the second motion to reconsider, but it was found to be untimely and the Petition dismissed.
Interesting the CPEP evaluation in Denver, Colorado was replaced with an alternative location in San Diego, California.
Procedurally there is a different appeal deadline that must be filed when a party, in this instance a doctor, files a Petition asking the Board to reconsider its decision, loses and then seeks to have the Iowa District Court review the decision. See Iowa Code sections 17A.16(2) and 17A.19(3).
It’s not always clear what deadlines apply at and stage of the proceedings. In this instance the Petition for Judicial Review was found to be untimely; and in the end I’m not sure it matters.
“Even so, Iowa courts construe rule 1.904(2) to prevent duplicative or successive motions from having any legal effect unless substantive changes were made to past findings or conclusions based on previous rule 1.904(2) motions. See Okland, 699 N.W.2d at 265–66; Boughton, 576 N.W.2d at 96; Doland v. Boone Co., 376 N.W.2d 870, 875–76 (Iowa 1985).”
Filing successive motions is essentially a crap shoot with winning the only way around filing deadline. The District Court decisions is well-written and a clear statement of the law. It should assist lawyers in future cases.

Using a gene-editing technology that allows scientists to make precise changes to the genomes of human cells, researchers at Harvard have found a way to edit immune cells and make them resistant to HIV, according to a new study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
“The gene that we deleted is the doorway, the co-receptor that the HIV uses on T-cells to get in,” says Chad Cowan, on of the report’s authors and an associate professor at Harvard in stem cell and regenerative biology.
The cell-level resistance actually occurs naturally in a small number of Europeans, Cowan tells Quartz. A bone marrow transplant from one of these people allowed an HIV patient to become and remain HIV-free. The Harvard method could pave the way for similar treatment to occur without a donor—instead, doctors would be able to take bone marrow from an HIV patient, remove the receptor that the virus uses to enter cells, and reinsert the marrow into the patient, Cowan explains.
They’re currently testing the method in mice, Cowan says, and human trials could potentially happen within the next five years. The technology could be groundbreaking—drugs approved for HIV treatment and prevention keep the virus at bay, but with the procedure that the Harvard researchers are experimenting with, there could be a chance for the altered blood cells to multiply and beat the virus altogether.
But Cowan is careful to point out that the method would be a more time-consuming and medically intensive approach than the current therapies, and there are many opportunities for complications to arise. For example, scientists would need to make sure they’re not deleting other genes as well.

Choral Transcriptions, Cloudburst, Eric Whitacre, Lux Aurumque, Sleep, Symphonic Winds
Music;Performing Art; Performing Arts education
This study presents three works by American composer Eric Whitacre (b. 1970), Cloudburst (1996), Lux Aurumque (2001), and Sleep (2002), originally choral compositions transcribed for symphonic winds (2001, 2005, 2003). By examining the assignment of vocal parts to instrument parts, I will clarify Whitacre's compositional practice as it relates to his own instrumental adaptation of three vocal works. Elements considered in the three transcriptions include orchestration choices, melodic reorganization (distributing vocal material to instrument parts), and overall integrity of the wind works compared to their choral settings. Using score examples and the author's constructed tables, this analysis examines Whitacre's transcription process and timbre qualities inherent to each ensemble (choral and winds). The unifying factor in all three transcriptions is their relationship to the poetry (program music) of the original work, and how that relates to Whitacre's instrumental restructuring. Prior scholarly endeavors have focused on either Whitacre's choral or wind works. This research fills an important gap in that none have examined Whitacre's popular transcriptions. Finally, this study will discuss Whitacre's motivation for transcribing his own music and practical suggestions for performance of these works.

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Thursday criticised the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government and said its model of governance was faulty.
"The model of the present government is faulty," Jaitley said while addressing a session of the Confederation of India Industry (CII).
"The leader of the elected party must have the ability to take decisions. He should have the authority to over-rule. The leader must always have the last word," Jaitley said.
"If he can´t do that and has to listen to others, then it becomes a three-legged race," said the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi earlier in the day addressed the industry for the first time at the CII plenary session.
He urged the industry to ensure that the poor in India are included in the country´s development journey since the poor, the corporates and the middle class are three essential components who have to stitch together a coalition if the country is to move forward and India´s inherent optimism has to be harboured.
Gandhi also brought out the obsolescence of the Indian education system where there is no proper training to make them employable and called for sweeping changes.
"The biggest danger is excluding the people. Excluding the poor, the middle class, the tribals, the minorities, the Dalits," Gandhi said.
"It is not good enough to raise the tide, we have to give them the basic infrastructure. The basic infrastructure is a rights based paradigm," said Gandhi.
Holding that women are not only building boats but also are the waves, he said: "We will have to carry the poor and the weak with us."
"It is dangerous to leave people behind. Inclusive growth is win, win. What India is thirsting now is a visionary partnership," said Gandhi who said the poor, middle class and business are three components and they have to go in a coalition.


Since I will be purchasingan AICS shortly, can anyone give me the pros and cons between the 1.5 and the 2.0? One con I see is the $200 price difference, buit I am thinking mor on functionality, wobble, strength, ETC. Any input appreciated.
The 2.0 folding mechanism is a good robust design and locks up tight and solid. No wobble or strength issues with the folding mechanism. It does make the stock a little heavier.
The folder is also nice for cleaning the barrel. Its easier to fold the stock and have it completely out of the way when using a rod. You can also get away with using a shorter cleaning rod.
I will never go back to a 1.0 or a 1.5 after finally getting a 2.0.
I have a 1.5 and I have to agree it would be nice to fold the stock for cleaning. As of now I have to remove the cheek peice to clean it and my knuckles often get scraped up. But I'm still pleased with my stock in terms of shooting.

Being The 900 Global Tour Rep Day 5 & 6 – The USBC Masters By John Gaines[addthis tool=”addthis_inline_share_toolbox”]
Day 5 starts the first day of three game double elimination match play. I had three of my 900 Global staff members, Chris Barnes, Anthony Lavery-Spahr, and Ramon Hilferink, make the top 64 after 15 games of qualifying.
It’s always very interesting to watch match play. There are bowlers that will win with 570 and bowlers that will lose with 670. All depends on who you draw and if it’s on a fresh lane condition or the burn.
The two first round squad times of match play were 9:00am and 11:30am. Both squads were on the fresh.
Ramon Hilferink’s USBC Masters Run
Ramon Hilferink VS Stu Williams
Ramon bowled at 9:00am and Chris and Anthony bowled at 11:30am. Ramon and Anthony had a tough time in their first matches. Unfortunately, with Ramon qualifying 64th and final spot for match play, he had to bowl the #1 seed in Stuart Williams. There was a reason Stu was the leader. He was throwing it well and his ball motion matched up to the flat pattern also.
Stu beat Ramon 703-591.
Ramon got behind early and Stu never let up. There are two options in match play. One is to strictly play your own game and not worry about what your opponent does. The other is to try and do something to make the lane different enough to make your opponent’s ball motion so different from what they have seen that they struggle during the match. I wasn’t sure that Ramon was going to beat Stu straight up, as again, Stu’s reaction was really good on the fresh and burn through the 15 games of qualifying.
So, we decided to take a chance and throw some surface just left of Stu and hoped it worked out. Stu’s reaction never really changed, and it was just too much for Ramon to catch up. So it was on to the “contenders” (losers) bracket for Ramon, as this is double elimination.
Ramon Hilferink VS Jesse Buss
Ramon’s next match was at 4:00pm against Jesse Buss. This match was also on the fresh. I had a little different strategy on this one. I wanted to burn a hole to the right where Ramon felt most comfortable on the lane. We took his 900 Global X2 and surfaced it with 500. Ramon threw his first couple shots up 3-4 on both lanes. What worked out great was Jesse was also throwing a dull surface ball up 4-5 on the right.
Jesse is a talented, higher rev player. But he can play to the right. But I also knew with his higher rev rate that he would have to move off that spot quickly, where Ramon has a much softer hand and would not have to move as much. Jesse had to move quickly and often throughout the match. Ramon didn’t move much and just kept shelling down bowling balls. Ramon won easily, 657-565. On to the next match in the “contenders” bracket 9:00am the next day.
Ramon Hilferink VS Richard Teece
Ramon’s next match was against international player Richard Teece. We tried the same strategy. Burning a hole to the right where Ramon feels comfortable by putting 500-grit on a ball he will definitely not use. Unfortunately, in this match, Ramon just didn’t bowl up to his capability. Plus, the pair didn’t quite break down the way it had against Jesse Buss. The pair broke down much faster moving Ramon left quicker than we wanted. And Richard Teece did bowl very solidly. Ramon lost 614-542. This was Ramon’s second loss and the end of his tournament.
Anthony Lavery-Spahr USBC Masters Run
Anthony Lavery-Spahr VS Kyle Cook
Anthony bowled Kyle Cook and lost 601-558. Anthony already has some experience bowling PBA events. He mostly makes his own decisions. Anthony’s opponent, Kyle Cook has a high rev rate, like Anthony, but Kyle doesn’t like to play to the right very much. Anthony is pretty good to the right for a bowler with a high rev rate. Anthony decided to take a 360-grit pad and blow a hole open in the pattern to the right. Only problem was this pair might have been the tightest we had seen all week. All it really did was blow a hole in the front of the lane. But the backend of the lane remained very slick. Anthony had to abandon his plan and chase it left with Kyle. But Anthony just could not catch up. On to the “contenders” bracket for Anthony.
Anthony Lavery-Spahr VS Darren Andretta
Anthony’s next match was at 4:00pm on the fresh against left hander Darren Andretta. Again, Anthony wanted to try and break down the pattern with a freshly surfaced ball. It looked ok during the 10-minute practice session. But when the match started the pair quickly changed; the lane started to break down quickly. Anthony tried to keep the ball on line by picking up his ball speed. Only problem is higher ball speed really didn’t work all week. This ended up being an ugly match. Many open frames for both players. Andretta held on to win 564-534. This was Anthony’s second loss and the end of his tournament.
Chris Barnes USBC Masters Run
Chris Barnes VS Brad Miller
Chris Barnes had a better fate in his first-round match against Brad Miller. Many of you have probably never heard of Brad. I hadn’t either until I saw him at The PBA Players Championship back in February. Brad is a solid player without many holes in his game. He can play any part of the lane. Change his speeds and rotations very well. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him on a PBA telecast one day.
As I expected, Brad gave Chris all he could handle. Fortunately, Chris prevailed 697-657. Chris stays in the winner’s bracket.
Chris Barnes VS Chris Via
Chris’ second match was against up and coming two hander Chris Via. Via has already had some great experience at the college level and Team USA. Chris used the same strategy in practice as his previous match. Chris was trying to break the lane down as far to the right as possible. Only problem this time was for a two hander, Via is also very good at playing to the right. Via used a heavily surfaced ball just to the left of Barnes. This forced Barnes off the gutter quicker than anticipated and had to move left. This really played into Via’s hands. Via had great ball motion and was throwing it very well on top of that. Via won the match 693-601. Chris will now head to the “contenders” bracket tomorrow morning at 9:00am.
Chris Barnes VS Chandler Stevens
Chris’ next match was against Chandler Stevens. Chandler was one of the few bowlers I saw this week have success with high ball speed. I will say Chandler was very good at keeping his target in front of him and his ball on line to the pocket. Chris again employed the strategy of trying to break down the pattern to the right. The pair seemed to hook a bit more downlane than previous days. More like practice day, actually. This kind of trapped Chris a bit. Chris burned up that spot to the right but didn’t have the hold down lane that he had the previous days. Chris tried to move just a little left because his ball was going high. But there really wasn’t anything to move left into because of the pattern being so flat. Just nowhere to really play between 6-12. Chris was forced to move into 20 at the arrows. Chris’ reaction was never really great. He hung in there as best as possible. The match was really tight all the way through. In the end, Chandler just had a few less opens than Chris. Chandler won 623-604. This is the end of Chris’ tournament.
That concluded my week as all 900 Global staffers were finished. It’s amazing how much the lanes change from day to day and squad to squad. Even match play can play so different than the rest of the week because there are only two bowlers on the pair and you bowl a three-game match on the same pair. Anytime working a major event like The Masters there are some long days. I worked 74 hours in 6 days.
You deal with so many different styles of players and personalities. Trying to figure out which ball, layout, and surface will work for each player. In the end, it is still a privilege to be around and work with the greatest bowlers in the world. I hope this past week’s blog from The Masters gave you some better insight as to what really goes on between a ball rep and their players. Next up, I will be working the first four weeks of the PWBA in Las Vegas April 26th-28th. I will again be writing a blog about each one of those tournaments as they happen.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - A Terre Haute bar faces multiple charges for allegedly serving two already intoxicated, underage patrons who crashed their vehicle into another car after leaving the establishment.
On March 18, police say Jacob Hubbard and Kristopher Hedden, both 20, went to the Highway 40 Sports Bar and Grill after already having 12 beers each.
At the bar, police say Hubbard showed his military ID and Hedden displayed Hubbard's dog tags, both of which showed his age as under 21, and were subsequently served by the bartender.
Hubbard and Hedden allegedly each ordered a total of six beers, four shots of Jack Daniel's Whiskey and two shots of Jameson Whiskey at the bar.
Upon leaving, police say Hubbard ran a stop sign and crashed his 2007 Ford Mustang into a vehicle driven by a mother with her 8-month old baby, trapping both vehicles' occupants inside.
After emergency crews extricated all of the occupants, a blood draw conducted on Hubbard showed his BAC at .29 percent – almost four times the legal limit.
Hubbard was arrested on preliminary charges of battery by bodily waste, intimidation, operating while intoxicated endangering a person and illegal consumption.
Highway 40 Sports Bar and the bartender who served the men face preliminary charges of selling alcohol to a minor, allowing a minor to loiter and sale of alcohol to an intoxicated person.

A Perfectly Wonderful Family Getaway Location
Our family was pleasantly surprised every step of the way with this rental. We found it to exceed the description. It was extremely private and just perfect for our family with young children. The cottage comfortably slept our family of 5. It felt like home, and we did not want to leave!! We will definitely try to stay here again next year! The cottage is clean and comfortable with handy kitchen amenities. We enjoyed every detail of the property- from it's private beach to it's handy outdoor seating to the fire pit on the beach to the swing set. It is absolutely worth the cost and the drive time. We filled our days with time on our private beach, in the sea kayak which is included in the rental, and by doing many day trips to area nature attractions. We visited a dozen waterfalls and watched the sun rise and set over Lake Superior just by timing our visits to local parks. If you've never explored the Keewenaw Peninsula, you are missing out on the most beautiful part of Michigan. And this cottage is a great home base from which to do so. We really appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner also. He worked with us to rent it on short notice and we had the best week of vacation our family has ever had! We recommend doing a day trip up to Copper Harbor and exploring the many, many waterfalls in the area. We couldn't love it more up there, and we are so grateful to have made so many great memories during our week. The kids keep asking to make sure we're going back next year. I sure hope we can!!

The 1970s: If you lived through them, you might be trying to block out their memory, especially if you're a car lover. This was not a great time for car enthusiasts, chiefly because of the oil crises of 1973 and 1979, which meant not only high prices, but long lines at the gas station, and stations that ran out of gas altogether!
The automotive industry's response? Economy cars, of course. These flooded in from Japan, and U.S. carmakers tried to follow suit. The problem was, nobody really knew yet how to make a car that combined high gas mileage with decent performance and good style. Even Ford stumbled in this era, making a Mustang that car buffs almost universally hated ... this after nearly cornering the market on the pony car in the 1960s.
Even so, there were bright spots. This was the decade that released classic car-centric movies like "Duel" and "Vanishing Point." Dodge and Pontiac released cars that would become iconic. Europe gave us the Lamborghini Countach (even if most people could only afford the poster, not the car itself.)
So, are you a fan of the cars of this redheaded stepchild era, the 1970s? Prove it now, with our quiz. We'll see you at the finish line!
Thanks to Smokey and the Bandit, this car is one of the most iconic American vehicles from the 1970s. It's brash in just about every way, from the snub nose to the T-top, and integrated spoiler in the rear.
Thanks to a poor design with the fuel tank, the Pinto almost sunk Ford back in the 1970s. What made the situation worse was how Ford mismanaged its response, trying to calculate how much the lawsuits would cost, instead of just recalling the car.
This was a truly exotic machine loved by quite a few celebrities back in the day, including George Foreman, Willie Nelson, and Lucille Ball. But its design is purely 1970s automotive culture.
Thanks to a mid-engine layout, short overhangs, and low curb weight, this Italian car was a monster in the rally scene. It took the top spot in the World Rally Championship from 1974 to 1976.
Mr. Bricklin thought making a car out of fiberglass would be a boon for safety. In reality, fiberglass cracks easily, and isn't durable in a crash. Not only that, the Ford and AMC V-8 engines tended to overheat.
When the Countach hit the automotive scene, it was like a thunderclap. Nobody had seen anything like it before, the supercar had such a wild, futuristic design. It became an instant favorite for posters and drooling, lasting well into the 1980s.
Designed by Marcello Gandini, the same man behind the Countach, Stratos, and many other Italian cars from the time period, this car wasn't particularly powerful. Its secret to success was a low curb weight, making it quick and sharp through turns.
This three-wheeled car is notorious for easily tipping over, making it both a laughingstock of the automotive world and a brunt of many jokes even today. Top Gear has especially driven this point home.
The Ford Mustang II was supposed to be revolutionary, but enthusiasts rejected it roundly. Ford bumbled this project big time, including not even offering a V-8 engine for the first production year.
The BMW M1 is held sacred by fans of the brand, even today. BMW hasn't made a legitimate supercar since this one debuted back in 1978, and the name has been purposely shelved by the company for all these years.
AMC actually offered quite a few options for the Gremlin, allowing buyers to really customize the car to their preferences and needs. You could get 2 or 4 seats, a vinyl top, and so much more. Unfortunately, the Gremlin gained a reputation for being unreliable, which some people argue it didn't deserve.
When it debuted at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 2002 Turbo wowed people. It had on tap 170 horsepower, which was a considerable output number for that time. Many credit it with really popularizing turbocharging for passenger cars.
The French automaker really wowed everyone with this vehicle, which kicked the decade off in a big way. One of the more amazing details was that it could hit 140 mph, which is an impressive number by today's standards, but was pretty insane back then.
Porsche made the car originally for motorsports, but offered it to the public as a requirement to compete. Only a few hundred were made, so the car today is a highly sought-after collector's item that fetches a pretty healthy price on the market.
"Pantera" in Italian means panther, and this was De Tomaso's most famous vehicle. Despite being very Italian in its design, the car featured a mid-mounted Ford V-8, which was notorious for overheating. Still, the company sold over 7,000 of these cars.
Easily one of the most striking vehicles of the 1970s, the Maserati Bora is also one of the most forgotten. Not only did it come with a mid-mounted V-8, a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive were standard.
Not only did this Ferrari look downright amazing, it wowed with a flat-12 engine, meaning it handled well and absolutely wailed at full throttle, like any proper Ferrari. Even the 5-spoke wheels became icons over time.
Even though the Chevelle was the first muscle car from Chevrolet in 1964, it wasn't until 1970 that the SS model stormed onto the scene. It packed a 454 V-8, which throttled out 450 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque, making it one amazing monster.
When Plymouth introduced the Hemi 'Cuda Convertible, it quickly became a favorite of many MOPAR fans. It's also one of the rarest muscle cars from the era, and as such, fetches huge prices whenever one makes its way to any auction today.
As the ultimate muscle car from the Buick brand, the GSX wowed plenty of automotive publications back in the day. It was the upgraded version of the GS 455, and as such only came in Saturn Yellow or Apollo White. Unique striping and aero pieces further set the car apart from other Buicks of the time.
It was one thing to base the Bobcat on the Pinto, and another to pork it up to the point that the Mercury weighed 800 pounds more than the Ford. That made the already-slow car even more sluggish, dooming it to be rejected by shoppers.
Despite a horrible build quality, the Chevrolet Chevette sold in big numbers back in 1979. It repeated the feat of being the top-selling vehicle in the country for 1980 as well, making you seriously question everyone's sanity back then.
After wowing everyone with the 2002, BMW released the 320i in 1977. Of course, as you know, the 3 Series is still going strong today, making it one of the longest-running vehicle lines on the market, and a real force in the automotive industry.
Launched in 1976, the 911 Turbo demonstrated that forced induction made the rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive car so much more amazing to drive anywhere. The Turbo has become a favorite among enthusiasts, and is still offered today.
Jeeps aren't really known for being high-end vehicles with lots of amenities, but that was even more the case before the CJ7 launched in 1976. It added steel doors, a tilt steering wheel, a hard top, and optional leather seats. People began to drive their Jeeps more regularly, and sales soared.
There's no disputing the Ford Mustang II was a flop, but the Fox-body Mustang was a critical success. Not only did it look far better, it was lightweight, and you could get the legendary 5.0. At first, though, the car wasn't that potent. That would change in the 1980s.
Dodge engineers were able to find a loophole in tightened emissions regulations, thanks to the high curb weight of the D-150 step side. They were able to squeeze 225 horsepower from the V-8, and paired it up with 3.55 gears, making this truck the fastest American vehicle in 1978.
Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cars sold in the 1970s, the Jaguar E-Type originally launched in 1961. The 1972 model with a V-12 engine was also especially quick, reportedly doing the 0 to 60 mph dash in just 5.5 seconds.
Because the rear axle was pushed back to about where the spare tire was normally mounted on the truck's underside, Ford created a special removable panel on the side of the bed, right behind the cab, where the spare was hidden away.
BRAT stood for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter, which made for quite the name. It was created to provide utility, while also sipping gas, right in the middle of the oil crisis. The rear-facing jump seats, among other things, helped cement this vehicle as a classic.
With one of the most aggressive and exotic names to grace an American truck, the Dodge Warlock had a lot to offer. It shared a platform with the Lil' Red Express Truck, but was only available originally in three colors: red, black, and dark green. Gold pinstriping was standard.
Chevrolet's answer to the camping truck craze was the Longhorn, but it was only made until 1972. To give the truck a 133-inch wheelbase, engineers actually added onto the frame and body. You can actually see the spot welds in the bed where the truck was lengthened.
In an egregious case of badge engineering, Chevy introduced its Light Utility Vehicle back in 1972. As a cheap and fuel-efficient truck, the LUV was an instant success and helped Chevy ride the wave as small trucks gained popularity quickly.
As the first special edition pickup made in the 1970s, the Dodge D100 Dude kicked off a trend that would introduce some pretty wild styling. This one was pretty tame, with the white decals and a tipped cowboy hat in the logo, signaling that the owner was pretty tough.
From 1971 to 1975, Ford made the Baja Bronco as a tribute to the desert racers that had been competing in the Baja 1000 since 1967. The SUVs were painted red, white, and blue, which were the signature colors of Bill Stroppe, builder of the racing SUVs.

Salmon centre of attention
It may not be the once-in-a-lifetime run from 2010, but this year’s Adams River sockeye-salmon run is still expected to be a spectacular phenomenon.
Early estimates for the 2011 run put returning sockeye salmon at about 58,000 — but the number has now jumped to 400,000.
“It’s really good news,” said Jim Cooperman of the Adams River Salmon Society.
He said those numbers are at the high end of the long-term average for the second year of the salmon’s four-year cycle.
Last year wouldn’t even be considered an anomaly, as more then 3.8-million sockeye returned to the river to spawn, making 2010 the biggest run in a century.
Salmon watchers have been concerned with dwindling stocks over the years.
Cooperman said there are many stresses on the salmon, including warming ocean temperatures from climate change, salmon farms, disease, low river flows and warming river waters.
“All these factors are certainly resulting in the concern about the salmon but, at least for last year and this year, things are looking up,” he said.
Not only did the river turn pink with salmon in 2010 but, for the month of October, the world was welcomed as tourists descended on the region to witness history.
At the centre of the celebration was Roderick Haig-Brown Park, the site of the run.
More than 200,000 people visited the park during the three-week Salute to Sockeye Festival.
The region isn’t expected to attract nearly as many people for this year’s run, but Cooperman still figures thousands of people will turn out.
For anyone who wants to make the trek to the park, the height of the run is predicted for Oct. 21.
The Adams River Salmon Society is also reminding the public about a few changes
to the park from last year.
Cooperman noted trails around the park have changed due to high stream flows from the spring, which caused erosion and damaged a viewing platform.
Visitors can expect detours throughout the park and are being urged to follow the signs.
