Coming clean on our waste
October 22, 2008 3:45 PM
Recently the conversation in the newsroom turned to whether [X]Press could go exclusively online to be more environmently friendly.
We are undoubtedly living in a digital age where the recent trend of ‘going green’ seems to lend itself to promoting new mediums like e-ink and e-readers rather than the seemingly outdated physical newspapers and books. It isn’t that simple.
Despite the fact that a newspaper may only be with its reader for a day, the practice of producing a printed, tangible product is vital to our society and cannot be altered.
Not everyone is online, and providing equal access to information is a key part of fulfilling what many in the journalism field feel is our role in democracy. Fewer than half of those age 18 and older who make less than $30,000 a year have access the Internet, according to a 2006 US Census Bureau survey. There is also a marked drop in use for the 65 and older set: only 35 percent of those Americans regularly use the Web. Financial and age factors should not bar someone from readingcoverage of current events.
While professors may choose to post their syllabi on the Web as a paperless alternative, newspapers have a sense of legitimacy and accountability because they are a product that readers can hold and examine. This is a feeling that purely digital material is not yet able to convey.
This does not mean, as an industry, we can ignore our social responsibility. Newspapers can print on 40 to 100 percent recycled content depending on where the paper comes from, according to Ed Tervol, vice president of Southwest Offset Printing. [X]press usually prints on 40 percent recycled paper, he said.
[X]press makes it a point to recycle extra copies each week. It is the nature of the beast that paper products become waste. However, it is after change in definition that we can be a help to the environment.

Fox’s final mainline X-Men film just released its final poster, and they’ve definitely put more effort into it than the rest of Dark Phoenix’s marketing. Take a look:
The airbrushed style of it is definitely refreshing, although it makes me wonder why they’re only breaking this out for a film set during the ‘90s, a decade where airbrushed one-sheets ostensibly died out. Imagine if this had been the aesthetic that bridged together all the period-piece X-Men posters? I’m trying not to complain too much because I’m glad they went with it here, but just like a lot of the X-Men film series, the missed opportunities are hard to ignore.
Setting aside the style of the one-sheet, the actual contents of the poster are kind of a mixed bag. Too many floating heads for my liking. This is their final X-Men and they’re not even going to give Magneto his helmet? I guess the iconic look for Sophie Turner’s Dark Phoenix will be a brown jacket? And many will point out the blue and orange contrast is trite, but I don’t know. Maybe there’s a deep, thematic reason to employ those colors. (inb4: there isn’t.)
All in all, it’s still a much better poster than I expected. What do the rest of you think? Does it give you any faith that Fox will end this thing on a high-note?
Dark Phoenix will come out June 7, 2019 (if it isn’t delayed a full-year like a certain X-Men spin-off).

The Red Deer man accused in a fatal shooting in front of a city Walmart was armed with a sawed-off semi-automatic rifle and fired at two other people — missing both — while fleeing.
Shooting victim Charles (Jim) Williams, 69, and his wife had just left Walmart and he was at his car when confronted by an armed suspect about 6:45 p.m. Friday.
Police were initially told that the shooting had happened following an argument in the front entrance of the store, said RCMP Insp. Mark Groves at a Monday morning news conference. But when RCMP officers arrived, it was clear the incident had happened in the parking lot about 60 metres away.
“A confrontation occurred at his vehicle, during which time (Williams) was fatally shot,” said RCMP Insp. Mark Groves, Monday.
“At this point, it looks like it was an intended robbery.”
After shooting Williams, the suspect jumped into a waiting black SUV being driven by a woman.
“As the black SUV was driving away the male shot at two other persons in the parking lot,” said Groves. “Fortunately, these bullets did not strike the intended victims.
“He continued to shoot randomly as they departed the parking lot.”
Groves said he did not know how many shots were fired in all.
Bystanders and RCMP performed CPR on Williams until an ambulance arrived to take him to Red Deer’s hospital, where he died soon after.
RCMP Air Services, Police Dog Services, the Emergency Response Team and Mounties from surrounding detachments were searching for the two suspects when Rimbey RCMP got a report of a stolen pickup.
Police tracked down the two suspects, who were now in separate trucks, and stopped them near Hwy 11A close to Sylvan Lake.
Crystal Maurice, 30, was arrested in the vehicle and Chase Freed, 18 was arrested after a short foot chase and both were in custody by 10:30 p.m.
Freed has been charged with second-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder while using a firearm, failing to stop while being pursued by a police officer, dangerous operation and theft of motor vehicle.
“Numerous firearm-related offences are also pending the outcome of this investigation,” said Groves.
Maurice. a mother-of-four, was charged with accessory after the fact to murder, failing to stop while being pursued by a police officer, dangerous operation and theft of motor vehicle.
She made a short appearance by closed-circuit TV link from the Red Deer Remand Centre in Red Deer court on Monday.
Maurice remains in custody and is due back in court on Jan. 8.
Freed’s first court date is Jan. 6.
A memorial with flowers and a cross has been set up at the front of the Walmart. Many people wrote condolences in a book left on the table.
Groves said despite the violent incident Red Deer remains a safe city.
“This is a terrible incident, but this is also a very rare thing to happen in our city,” he said. “A random shooting in this city such as this doesn’t happen very often.”
RCMP initially told the public they believed it was a targeted attack, which later turned out to be wrong.
Groves said the 911 calls that came in suggested Freed and Williams had been speaking before the shooting, leading some to believe they knew each other.
Police also issued notice that the public was not at risk even while the suspects were still on the run.
Groves said there had been social media buzz that a mass shooting with six to eight victims had taken place at Walmart.
“We wanted to immediately quell that information and to assure that was not the case.”
Walmart was packed with Christmas shoppers when the shooting happened. Customers and staff were not allowed to leave the store at first.
Groves said because of the number of shots fired, police set up a large perimeter and did not allow people to take their vehicles because of the investigation. They were later evacuated through a rear door, some using city buses to get home.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to collect $5,000 for the family.

This week’s big disc debut is the tepid and deeply un-sexy Fifty Shades Darker, so yes, you’re going to have to dig a little deeper to find the good stuff. But it’s there: a giggly Netflix original, streaming debuts for two of last year’s best dramas, and shiny new Blu-ray editions of a classic Western, a beloved black comedy, and one of the all-time great crime movies.
Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie : At first glance, the title of this new comedy from director/co-writer/star Jeff Garlin looks like #branding gone awry — or, as co-star Steven Weber insists in the pre-title scene, “Enjoy this exciting, multiplatform event!” But that scene is a tip-off; he reveals himself as the murderer, making it a) not much of a mystery, and b) firmly in the mold of Columbo, one of the mainstays of — aha — The ABC Mystery Movie. And that’s the vibe Garlin’s working here, treating this one-off movie like it’s a series into which we’ve been dropped, complete with running characters and conflicts, and even a “special guest star” (in this case, it’s Kaley Cuoco, to whom Garlin bids, “Enjoy your good looks!”). Even if you don’t get the in-jokes, though, Handsome is a lot of fun; it’s got Natasha Lyonne as his partner (they have a very funny riff on San Andreas), Amy Sedaris killing it as their gruff boss, and music by Ben Folds. And, in a season in which most movies overstay their welcome, it’s not a second too long at 81 minutes.
Things to Come : Mia Hansen-Løve’s films are uncommonly rich and full of life, dynamic and divine, even when nothing of ostensible consequence is “happening.” Her latest pushes this notion even further, spending a great deal of its first hour simply observing the life of Nathalie (Isabelle Huppert, in her other great 2016 performance), a schoolteacher and writer with a thoughtless husband, a sick and aging mother, and a career in flux. Nathalie doesn’t set out to alter her life significantly, but it is altered, and Hansen-Løve doesn’t push for effect; she knows she’s got one of our finest actors at the center of her frame, and just watching her react (or choose not to) is all the narrative movement she needs.
ON AMAZON PRIME
Manchester By the Sea : Writer/director Kenneth Lonergan’s double Oscar-winner is a genuinely moving piece of work — all the more impressive since he rarely, if ever, reaches for his effects. Set in a tight-knit seaside Massachusetts town, it tells the story of two tragedies that befall one family, about a decade apart; one of them is everyday and one of them is the kind of personal horror that can come to define your life, try as you might to resist it. Yet this is also a warm and very funny picture, finding its humor in the kidding-on-the-square so essential to these relationships. Kyle Chandler is perfection and Michelle Williams is shattering, but the key player here is Casey Affleck, and his matchless skill for seeming to do nothing while conveying everything.
Heat: Director’s Definitive Edition : Don’t be too drawn in (or worried) by the subtitle of this Blu-ray re-release of Michael Mann’s 1995 masterpiece; this is not some Miami Vice-style top-to-bottom reworking. Mann’s “definitive” fixes involve the removal of two (2) lines of dialogue, and some tinkering with color grading and brightness. Then again, it’s not like this movie needed fixing — it remains a towering achievement in character-drama-as-genre-picture, boasting a deep bench of ace character actors, a handful of crackerjack action beats, and iconic performances by stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro (whose single shared scene, midway through, remains a masterclass in underplaying). If you already own it, it’s probably not worth the double-dip — but if you somehow don’t, this edition is bargain-priced (eight bucks, as of this writing) and boasts some stellar bonus features. And, y’know, it’s Heat. (Includes audio commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, and new Q&As.)
Serial Mom : John Waters (whose credit is accompanied, appropriately enough, by the squishing of a fly) helmed this 1994 suburban murder comedy, and did so with style; he mounts the film with a perfectly realized bland sitcom aesthetic, and an early Blood Feast shout-out tips off the cheerful artificiality of the gore. Kathleen Turner is marvelously unhinged in the title role, all smiles at the swap meet, but secretly knocking off neighbors and meticulously keeping serial killer scrapbooks and mementoes. It’s rife with the criminal-as-celebrity commentary that was all over media and culture in that year of the Juice (Waters even stages an eerily similar low-speed car chase), though its concluding courtroom sequence isn’t as successful; it forces the movie to settle down when it should keep going further out. Still, it’s an awful lot of fun — sometimes inspired, sometimes groan-worthy, never boring. (Includes audio commentaries, new interviews, featurettes, and trailer.)
The Indian Fighter : Period Westerns can make for uncomfortable viewing here in the Year of our Lord 2017, so credit where due: this 1954 frontier drama makes at least some effort to temper the simplicity and bloodthirstiness typical of the era’s Westerns. (It makes its Blu-ray debut via KL Studio Classics, which put out the similarly complicated oater Broken Arrow last month.) Kirk Douglas, sporting the Whitest Teeth in the West, is in fine, thorny form as a renowned “Indian fighter” who finds himself trying to negotiate a peace between post-Civil War settlers and the Sioux, while Walter Matthau is an unlikely presence in a Western, but terrific as the scoundrel who tries to deceive him. The action sequences are executed cleanly by director Andre de Toth (House of Wax), and Frank Davis and Ben Hecht’s screenplay works in a dash of thoughtful subtext, in the form of a photographer character (who worked for “Mr. Brady” during the war) and his role in the forthcoming mythologizing and mystification of the West: a process you see a movie like The Indian Fighter quietly, tentatively beginning to undo. (Includes audio commentary and trailers.)

- Frequently Asked Questions about Lasix
Lasix, also known by its generic name furosemide, is a medication commonly used to treat conditions such as edema, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs called diuretics, which work by helping the body eliminate excess water and salt through urine.
One of the primary uses of Lasix is in the treatment of edema, which is the swelling caused by fluid retention in the body. This could be due to various conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, or heart failure. By increasing the amount of urine produced by the body, Lasix can help reduce the fluid buildup and alleviate symptoms of edema.
Lasix is also often prescribed for patients with congestive heart failure. This condition occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs and other areas of the body. By helping the body get rid of excess fluids, Lasix can relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in the legs or abdomen.
Like any medication, Lasix can cause side effects. Common side effects include frequent urination, dizziness, and lightheadedness. More serious side effects include dehydration, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances. It is important to take the medication as prescribed and consult with a healthcare professional if any concerning side effects occur.
The dosage of Lasix will vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. It is typically taken orally and may be taken with or without food. The dosage may be adjusted by a healthcare professional to achieve the desired effect. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and any additional instructions provided by the healthcare professional.
In conclusion, Lasix is a commonly prescribed medication for conditions such as edema, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. It helps the body eliminate excess water and salt through urine, reducing fluid buildup and alleviating symptoms. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects and should be taken as prescribed under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
What is Lasix?
Lasix is a medication used to treat a variety of conditions, including high blood pressure, heart failure, and edema. It belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics, which work by increasing the production of urine and eliminating excess fluid and salt from the body.
Lasix is available in oral tablet form and is usually taken once or twice a day. It is commonly prescribed by doctors to help reduce swelling and fluid retention in patients with conditions such as congestive heart failure and kidney disease.
The main active ingredient in Lasix is furosemide, which helps to decrease the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, allowing more water to be eliminated from the body. This action helps to reduce excessive fluid buildup in the tissues, resulting in decreased swelling and improved breathing in individuals with heart and kidney problems.
Common side effects of Lasix include increased urination, dizziness, and low blood pressure. It is important to take Lasix as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to follow any dietary or fluid restrictions given. Additionally, it is important to report any side effects or concerns to a doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness of the medication.
How does Lasix work?
Lasix, also known as furosemide, is a diuretic medication that helps the kidneys eliminate excess water and salt from the body. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as edema (fluid retention) and high blood pressure.
This medication works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and a decrease in fluid volume. By promoting fluid loss, Lasix helps reduce swelling and improve symptoms of conditions like congestive heart failure and liver disease.
Lasix works quickly, usually within an hour after ingestion, and its effects can last for several hours. It is typically taken orally, either in tablet or liquid form, and can also be administered intravenously in more severe cases.
While Lasix is effective in managing fluid retention, it is important to monitor its usage and possible side effects. It may cause electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and changes in blood pressure. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment based on your individual needs and medical condition.
Uses of Lasix
Lasix is a medication that is commonly used to treat conditions such as edema, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. This diuretic works by increasing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps eliminate excess fluid from the body.
Edema, or swelling caused by fluid buildup in the body, is a common condition that can occur as a result of certain medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, or heart failure. Lasix is often prescribed to help reduce swelling and relieve symptoms of edema.
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can lead to fluid retention and edema. Lasix is frequently used to help alleviate symptoms and reduce fluid buildup in patients with congestive heart failure.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. Lasix is sometimes prescribed as part of a treatment plan to help lower blood pressure by reducing fluid volume in the body.
Overall, Lasix is a versatile medication that is commonly used to treat edema, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. By increasing urine production, Lasix helps eliminate excess fluid from the body, leading to relief of symptoms and improved overall health.
Dosage and Administration
Dosage: The recommended dosage of Lasix varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's individual response to the medication. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or refer to the medication guide. The dosage may be adjusted based on your specific needs.
Administration: Lasix can be taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have difficulty swallowing pills, you may be prescribed a liquid formulation of Lasix. Avoid crushing or chewing the tablets unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.
Timing: Lasix is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the prescribed dosage. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the drug in your body. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.
Monitoring: Your healthcare provider may need to monitor your progress and adjust your dosage accordingly. This may involve regular blood tests to check your potassium and other electrolyte levels, as Lasix can affect these balances. Be sure to keep all scheduled appointments and communicate any concerns or changes in your condition to your healthcare provider.
Duration: The duration of treatment with Lasix will depend on the specific condition being treated. It is important to continue taking the medication for the prescribed duration, even if you start feeling better. Do not stop taking Lasix without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may lead to a recurrence of symptoms or other complications.
Potential Side Effects
While Lasix is an effective medication for treating various conditions, it can also cause some potential side effects. It is important to be aware of these side effects and to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any of them.
One potential side effect of Lasix is dehydration. This medication works by increasing urine output, which can lead to increased fluid loss from the body. It is important to drink enough fluids while taking Lasix to prevent dehydration.
Another potential side effect of Lasix is low blood pressure. This medication can cause a decrease in blood pressure, which can result in dizziness or lightheadedness. It is important to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position to minimize the risk of low blood pressure.
In some cases, Lasix can also cause electrolyte imbalances. This medication can cause a decrease in potassium, sodium, and magnesium levels in the body. It is important to have regular blood tests to monitor these electrolyte levels and to take supplements if needed.
Other potential side effects of Lasix include changes in blood sugar levels, muscle cramps or weakness, and skin reactions such as rash or itching. If you experience any of these side effects or any other unusual symptoms while taking Lasix, it is important to contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
Precautions and Considerations
Before taking Lasix, it is important to review and consider several precautions. First, inform your healthcare provider if you have any allergies to sulfa drugs, as Lasix may contain sulfonamides. Additionally, disclose any medical conditions you have, especially if you have kidney or liver disease, diabetes, gout, or electrolyte imbalances.
It is also crucial to inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Lasix. Some drugs that may have interactions with Lasix include anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and certain antibiotics.
Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals should exercise caution when taking Lasix, as it may pass through breast milk and harm the nursing baby. Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels and kidney function may be necessary to ensure the safe and effective use of Lasix.
In certain cases, Lasix may cause dizziness or blurred vision. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Lasix affects you. Alcohol consumption can worsen these effects and should be limited or avoided.
Finally, it is worth noting that Lasix can increase urination. While this can be beneficial in conditions like edema, it may also result in dehydration if not properly managed. Therefore, it is important to drink plenty of fluids and maintain a healthy diet to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.
When taking Lasix, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions that could occur. Interactions can happen when Lasix is taken with other medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, or supplements. If these drugs are taken together, they may affect how Lasix works in your body.
Sometimes, taking Lasix with certain medications can increase the risk of side effects or make them more severe. For example, if you take Lasix with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen, it may increase the risk of kidney problems. This is because both Lasix and NSAIDs can affect the kidneys and increase the risk of dehydration.
On the other hand, some medications can reduce the effectiveness of Lasix. For instance, taking a corticosteroid like prednisone may decrease the diuretic effect of Lasix. This means that Lasix may not work as well in removing excess fluids and salt from your body.
It's important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs you are taking before starting Lasix. They can help you determine if there are any potential drug interactions and if any adjustments need to be made to your treatment plan to ensure your safety and optimize the effectiveness of Lasix.
Remember, this list of drug interactions may not be exhaustive. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific medical history and current medications. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information and guidance regarding drug interactions with Lasix.

Dedicated volunteer set to meet royalty at event
Published at 16:26, Friday, 12 October 2012
A WOMAN from Grange has been invited to meet the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at an event which will honour volunteering achievement.
WRVS volunteer Zelma Hallatt is among 10 people from the North East and Cumbria who received a Diamond Champions award for their outstanding volunteer work.
Diamond Champions, run by older people’s charity WRVS, recognises the contribution that people over the age of 60 make through volunteering.
More than 200 people from the North East and Cumbria were nominated as Diamond Champions.
The 10 Diamond Champions, chosen by a regional judging panel, were presented with a specially designed Diamond Champions pin at a celebratory event at Auckland Castle on October 10.
They will now also receive a certificate signed by Their Royal Highnesses, who are joint Patrons of the awards.
The 10 Diamond Champions from the North East and Cumbria will join 70 others from across the UK at the event held at St James’s Palace next month.
Mrs Hallatt, 81, has worked tirelessly for 43 years volunteering in many different capacities. She volunteers on the wards of Westmorland hospital, as well as running a trolley service at a local nursing home. She is also circuit stewart for five churches, as well as caring for a friend at all hours of the day or night.
In addition, Zelma delivers Books on Wheels and befriends ex-prisoners.
Chris Graham, WRVS head of services in the North East and Cumbria, said: “This is a fantastic way to recognise the work of these volunteers, who make such a difference to the lives of others in their community.’’

In the Most Desperate of Times When There Seems to Be No Hope, Just Live
Your power to choose is your power to make all the difference
Sometimes we wonder what our life’s really worth
We wonder whether we’re fulfilling our purpose or not. Why do we wake up each morning? Why do we work so hard to make a living?
Will someone even notice all the things that we say and do? Will someone even miss us when we’re gone?
As we go on thinking about these things, we try to imagine the future. Will it be better tomorrow? Are we ever going to find what our hearts have been searching for?
Meanwhile, everything in the present seems to bother us. We can’t find satisfaction wherever we turn. We keep on stressing ourselves to prove our value. We work day and night without reaping the rewards we desire.
Days like that, you may feel like quitting
Days like that, you may feel as though you want to escape where no one could see you or bother you. You want to go where you need not carry the weight of the past nor the anxiety of the future.
But no place comes to mind. You feel trapped. You feel helpless. Why go on? What’s the point of it all? What’s the fruit of all your labors?
The truth is that it is difficult to think about an immediate escape when you’re in that state of mind. No solution will be in sight. No time machine can alter the past. No magic formula can provide the answers to your worries.
The truth is that many times, we can’t see everything
We try to predict things as they have happened in the past. As they have wounded us and disappointed us in the past. But things don’t always happen that way.
Things happen without our knowing. We’re often mistaken when it comes to our fears. In the first place, it is our fears that cause us to make mistakes. We can’t see clearly because our vision is blurred by our worries. Sometimes, it is our worries that even create the very things we fear.
So on days like that, maybe it’s better not to look so far ahead. When darkness is all you could see, it is better to stop there rather than to keep on looking for monsters that await you in the dark.
On days like that, maybe it’s better to rest. When you have exhausted your strength and you have come upon your limits, it is better to replenish your powers rather than to drain yourself and find no hope for moving on.
What you never thought would happen could happen. What you couldn’t accomplish could be done by someone else.
Someone else can pave the way for you. Someone else can open the door.
But you can’t enter it if you chose to give up. You can’t walk on that path if you never chose to wait.
So wait. For a brand new day. For a brand new start.
And on days when all you could see is a bleak future, try not to look so far ahead.
Just live. Just breathe. Just carry on.
Many things can still happen in your life. Many people can still touch your life and take you to places you have never been to.
Live and wait with hope
Live and rest when you can no longer carry on. Live and cry all you want when things don’t go as planned.
But live. Live so you can cry again. Live so you can have the chance to smile again.
You don’t know what one more day can bring. What one more moment can accomplish. Sometimes things can change so much in an instant you wonder why things have never been that way all along.
Though not all things can change in a moment, many things can happen gradually until you see the very fruits you have desired for so long.
Many things happen beyond our knowing. Many things happen beyond our own control. Even in days so bleak, we could hardly imagine a better future. Even in days so painful, we could hardly hope for days of joy.
So just live. Live and take the chance to see another day.
Even if you may experience far tougher times before the better times. Even if your heart would break yet again before it can finally be whole.
Give yourself the chance to wait for change. Give yourself the chance to change.
One day, your life may completely turn around and you’d wonder how everything could have fallen into place without your knowing. One day, you’d be so happy you’d forget the many times that you have cried. One day, you may just be grateful that you have given yourself that chance, and you have lived.
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”― Rainer Maria Rilke
Have you ever wondered how no sunrise has ever been the same as the one before? This is the promise of life: the promise of hope and a new beginning with the rising of a brand new day.
Life is a series of many beginnings
We do not witness merely one sunrise, but a series of mornings that conquer the night again and again.
We may grow tired, but we are renewed. We may yield to sleep, but we are awakened. We may fall, but we rise again.
We live through many mornings that shower us with new blessings and new hope. Mornings that remind us it is never the darkness that has the final say. It is never death, but life.
“I will look forward
to each sunrise
For who knows?
This may just be the day
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
- Lamentations 3:22-24, NRSVCE

ORLANDO — A fourth theme park could very well be on its way to Universal Orlando, a bombshell of an announcement that was made during a second-quarter earnings call last week for Universal parent company Comcast.
When asked whether the company would be planning another gate in Orlando by Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen, who also noted that Universal filed for the name ‘Fantastic Worlds’ with the patent office in June, Stephen Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal said, “We are looking at it. We filed basically a name registration.”
Burke went on to say that the theme park business is one of the company’s best, most consistent businesses. “And we think we have a lot of very long runway and that another gate in Florida would have the advantage of turning Florida from a two-to-three-day destination to potentially a weeklong destination.”
The news comes as Comcast also reported a Q2 revenue increase of 3.6%, or US$1.4 billion, of its theme park division, thanks in large part to the opening of new attractions like Fast & Furious Supercharged.
In the first half of 2018, theme park revenue spiked by 8.6% to $2.6 billion, while adjusted earnings increased 12.3% to $1.1 billion.
It was reported in October 2017 by the Orlando Sentinel that Universal Orlando purchased an additional 101 acres of land in Orlando. It currently boasts three theme parks in Orlando: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay.


In September, an Allegheny Health Network surgical team removed part of Hannah Snyder’s liver.
Thanks to the magic of tissue regeneration, the organ has grown back to its normal size.
While that’s good news for Snyder, it may be even better for her father, Jeff Weyrick of South Fayette Township, who also has a full-sized, healthy liver.
If not for his daughter’s decision to donate part of hers to him, his name still might be on a waiting list for a new one.
“They’re still adjusting medications, but he’s feeling a lot better,” said Snyder, who grew up in Peters Township.
About two years ago, Weyrick began suffering from ascites, an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen. He later was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma, cancer of the liver, and eventually became a candidate for a transplant.
Snyder soon learned she, as someone who’s very much alive, potentially could qualify as a liver donor. And according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, recipients of living-donor livers have a better long-term survival rate compared with livers that come from cadavers.
With that in mind, Snyder decided to pursue the possibility and discussed it with her father.
“I said, ‘At least let me get tested, because that will at least make me feel better, to know that I tried and didn’t just sit here and watch you wither away,’” she said.
She said she traveled from her home in Jacksonville, Fla., to Pittsburgh for “every test in the book, it felt like.”
The tests determined Snyder to be a match, and simultaneous procedures for her and Weyrick were scheduled for Sept. 29 with Allegheny General Hospital’s abdominal transplant team.
“There was really never the question for me as to backing out,” she said. “The transplant team was super reassuring that I could back out at any time, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did that.”
The surgeries occurred almost exactly three months to the day after the team completed its first living-donor liver transplant, joining a select group of U.S. medical centers performing that type of procedure. And for Snyder and her father, everything went as well as could be expected.
“It was a pretty good recovery, and I didn’t have any complications or anything,” she said.
She was able to recover in Pittsburgh while her husband, Joe, who was supportive throughout the entire process, took care of their son.
“I was ready to come back home, for sure. But it was nice to be able to not have to worry about anything with him,” she said about four-year-old Grayson.
Technology allowed them to keep in sufficient contact.
“We FaceTimed every day. He didn’t even notice I was gone,” Snyder said with a laugh.
Her father and mother, Mindy, were able to visit Grayson in Florida during the holiday season, thanks to one heck of an early gift on Snyder’s part.
“It was definitely a major surgery, but I definitely would do it again,” she said. “There’s no doubt in my mind. I would do it again if he needed it again.”
Changes are on the way for the golf course off Church Hill Road in Peters Township.
Under new ownership and renamed the 1781 Club, celebrating the year of the township’s founding, the property will feature an expanded clubhouse with a 6,600-square-foot addition.
“We’re basically keeping the existing structure and just building it down and out,” said Barb Raymore, the club’s director of membership and service.
“So the same lounge downstairs will be bigger and offer outdoor seating with a fireplace.”
Plans include the opening of a restaurant, the Farmer’s Dining Room, with an emphasis on locally sourced food and related products. Along with public golf, membership packages with various levels of amenities, including preferred tee times and dining opportunities, will be offered.
Calling the club “family-friendly,” Raymore said the objective is to continue to provide opportunities for more people to play golf – women and youth are some targeted markets – while preserving the land on which the course is located.
Known as Scenic Valley Golf Club since its construction about two decades ago, the course changed ownership in November, the same month Peters Township Planning Commission approved the request for a revised site plan that primarily addresses the clubhouse expansion.
Earlier, the township zoning hearing board voted against a request for a private recreation facility, scotching plans for a swimming pool, pickleball courts and additional maintenance facilities.
During the planning commission’s Nov. 11 meeting, township assistant planning director Seth Koons said the clubhouse addition would extend toward the golf course, not closer to adjacent properties.
“We’re going to work with the applicant to establish not a new buffer between the golf course and those residential properties, but a quality buffer that’s supplemented from its existing conditions,” he said.
That includes a pair of Cobblestone Circle homes near the golf course’s driveway.
“Those two properties have no landscape buffer, whatsoever. So we’d like to see that boosted a little bit,” Koons said.
His department consulted with township traffic engineer Michael Mudry with regard to parking at the site.
“The traffic need for the golf course at its peak time, which is about 1 or 2 o’clock in the afternoon, doesn’t really conflict with the peak parking need of the restaurant/clubhouse during the evening hours,” Koons said. “So the number of parking spaces provided by the applicant is deemed sufficient by the township engineer.”
Township solicitor John Smith was consulted about the procedure for approving the revised site plan.
“He concurred that they have the right to do this building expansion and this minor site reconfiguration within the bounds of that existing special-exception approval,” Koons said. “That would not require an additional review by the township zoning hearing board.”
A sharpshooting program to help reduce the deer population in Peters Township is on track to start in February.
The one-year pilot program received approval from township council during its final meeting of 2021, by a 4-3 vote. Opposing were Frank Arcuri, Monica Merrell and Gary Stiegel Jr.
“The township has engaged in an archery program to cull deer since 2008, and that program, alone, has not effectively controlled the deer population. To me, the logical next step is the sharpshooter program,” township manager Paul Lauer said in recommending the measure.
Conducting the program will be two members of the police department, Sgt. Jason Brunetti and Officer James Stevick. Both have been contracted by Mt. Lebanon to perform the same type of service.
“That they can safely and effectively perform this service in such a densely populated area as Mt. Lebanon without incident is significant,” Douglas Grimes, Peters police chief, wrote in a June memo to Lauer outlining his proposal for a sharpshooting program.
In September, council authorized Grimes to file a permit application for the program with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, another 4-3 vote with the same members in opposition. The commission approved the permit in December.
The program’s stated purpose is to decrease the number of deer-vehicle collisions in the township.
At a Dec. 13 public hearing held by council, Brunetti said that 91 accidents with “evidence of a deer being involved” were reported in 2020. The number had sunk as low as 40 in 2012, down from 74 prior to the launch of the archery cull.
The 2021-22 statewide archery deer season resumed Dec. 27 and continues through Jan. 17. Peters’ sharpshooting cull is scheduled to take place in February and March.
“The way the program would be structured would be to use bait at specific locations that are determined to be safe locations for the use of firearms,” Grimes said during the public hearing. “We’d take the deer quickly and humanely with the rifles.”
Brunetti explained that sharpshooting is intended to take place near areas with larger concentrations of deer-vehicle accidents, such as on Route 19, East McMurray Road and Valley Brook road. Shooting will take place from elevated positions against solid backdrops on properties where owners grant permission.
“Everyone will be aware in the immediate area,” Brunetti said, “and we utilize the bait to bring the deer to where we want them, to the safest locations.”
The Game Commission permit allows for a total of 100 to 125 deer to be taken.
“Personally, I’d be happy to see at least 70 in the program,” Grimes said. “I would consider that a success.”
Archery kills generally have numbered between 50 and 60 annually in recent years, contributing to the opinion expressed in Grimes’ memo that the “program has not achieved the desired result of a significant reduction in deer-car collisions and reduction of property/crop damages.”
The program is open to archers who apply through the police department, and includes background checks and a requirement for bowhunter safety courses.
“It’s becoming an issue of viable hunting properties,” Brunetti said about the program’s effectiveness. “It’s not an issue, necessarily, of the amount of hunters we have.”
With regard to the sharpshooting program, plans call for Brunetti and Stevick to perform the function while on duty, with expenses primarily for bait and processing the deer. The meat goes to the statewide Hunters Sharing the Harvest venison donation program, which distributes to food banks and other charitable organizations.
The program’s annual cost is estimated at $21,000, according to information provided at council’s Sept. 13 meeting.

Not to be too negative, but it’s almost surprising that scary slap shot-related injuries like the one that happened to Daymond Langkow are so rare.
The tough, productive center is struggling to bounce back from a scary injury that occurred during the 2009-10 season, but the good news is that he’s been cleared for “light skating” recently, according to the Calgary Sun.
It’s been five months since a puck hit Langkow and fractured a vertebrae at the base of his neck, and symptoms related to the injury are lingering.
“It’s hard to say exactly a timeline on it, but I think we’re hoping that it’s ready for camp,” said Nathan Zaseybida, Langkow’s agent. “Over the last couple of weeks, he’s had big improvements, and that’s pretty typical with the injury.
“It’s just a sensation that he’s having that needs to pass.”
Flames assistant GM Jay Feaster says a visit with the doctor last week got the gritty centre cleared for “light” skating, but Langkow is still unable to take contact or even lift weights with just a few weeks remaining before training camp opens at the Saddledome.
“We remain optimistic as progress continues to be made,” Feaster said via e-mail this week.
I don’t know, that sounds like the type of injury that could keep him out well past training camp.
Most would say that things haven’t been very good for the Calgary Flames lately. Dion Phaneuf certainly declined over the last couple years, but they didn’t get much for him in what was (in my opinion) a bad-for-both-sides trade. Jarome Iginla seems like he’s starting to wear down a bit. The big Jay Bouwmeester signing hasn’t worked out especially well so far. Let’s not even get into that strange signing of Olli Jokinen.
The Sutter brothers’ days might be numbered and they can use all the luck they can get. If Langkow can be the useful player he was before, that would greatly improve their chances of making the playoffs (and ultimately keeping their jobs).

With his debut novel, longtime Forbes magazine correspondent Morais delves into a rich, imagery-filled culinary world that begins in Bombay and ends in Paris, tracing the career of Hassan Haji as he becomes a famed Parisian chef. Narrated by Hassan, the story begins with his grandfather starting a lowly restaurant in Bombay on the eve of WWII, which his father later inherits. But when tragedy strikes and Hassan's mother is killed, the Hajis leave India, and, after a brief and discontented sojourn in England, destiny leads them to the quaint French alpine village of Lumière. There, the family settles, bringing Indian cuisine to the unsuspecting town, provoking the ire of Madame Mallory, an unpleasant but extremely talented local chef. From vibrantly depicted French markets and restaurant kitchens to the lively and humorously portrayed Haji family, Morais engulfs the reader in Hassan's wondrous world of discovery. Regardless of one's relationship with food, this novel will spark the desire to wield a whisk or maybe just a knife and fork..
Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
*Starred Review* Grandson of an entrepreneurial lunchbox deliveryman, Chef Hassan Haji tells of his rise to culinary success in Paris via Bombay, London, and a small town in the French Alps. With a fond, over-the-shoulder regard, he presents the lively family members, friends, and former foes who shaped him as a young chef, leading him to face his destiny and realize that cooking is not only in his heritage but also in his blood and bones. The novel floats along a bounty of vivid food imagery, a twisty-turny river of dishes Indian, French, and everything in between. With an obvious insider's knowledge of the restaurant milieu, journalist Morais delivers a world where Michelin stars determine not only the popular appeal of a restaurant but also the happiness of its executive chef. This novel, of mythic proportions yet told with truly heartfelt realism, is a stunning tribute to the devotion to family and food, in that order. Bound to please anyone who has ever been happily coaxed to eat beyond the point of fullness, overwhelmed by the magnetism of just one more bite. --Annie BostromSee all Editorial Reviews

Oops, he did it again. Forget covfefe, President Donald Trump invented an African country while speaking at a lunch with African leaders: Nambia. David Mack of BuzzFeed News tweeted a clip of video where Trump brings up
Narnia Nambla Nambia.
Hey, at least Nambia's healthcare system is increasingly sufficient. That's impressive, considering they don't even exist.
It turns out he was going for "Namibia," which was what a lot of people guessed. Well, people familiar with countries in Africa that actually exist, that is.

Megan Fox is setting the record straight.
On Friday night (Feb. 19), the Transformers star took to her Instagram Stories to address rumors about herself that went viral. Earlier that day, a fake message was shared to Instagram that accused the 34-year-old actress of speaking out about her "decision to not wear a mask" amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The post has since been deleted.
However, Megan quickly shut down the fabricated post, writing, "I've never made any statements regarding wearing masks. Scary that you can go viral and possibly be socially crucified for something you haven't done."
The Jennifer's Body star facetiously added, "The internet is so FUN."
According to People, the fake post not only featured a false message from Megan but that also included a photo that showed the actress and her boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly, in public together. In the image, Megan was photographed holding a mask in her right hand.
People pointed out the fake message was Photoshopped onto a real post that Megan shared on social media back in 2014. At the time, the Rogue star spoke out against bullying.
When Megan isn't dealing with online trolls, the star is enjoying spending time with her musician boyfriend.
The couple recently celebrated their first Valentine's Day together, and it was nothing short of memorable.
On Feb. 14, the "bloody valentine" singer claimed he was wearing Megan's—wait for it—blood around his neck. In his Instagram post, the 30-year-old star displayed his vial-like necklace, which appeared to have a drop of blood sealed inside.
"i wear your blood around my neck," he captioned his post, "my bloody valentine."
Adding more fuel to the fire, Megan took to Instagram, writing, "there goes my heart."
"Manifest outside of my body," she continued, "draped in the towering silhouette of a most unusually handsome boy magical and haunted kinetic and tortured ethereal and dangerous cosmic lawless eternal creative genius."
Earlier this month, a source told E! News that Megan and Machine Gun Kelly are the real deal, saying she is "very serious with MGK and sees him as her soulmate and life partner. They plan to be together forever."
"Brian is definitely not making it easy or doing things quickly," the insider explained, adding, "Megan would like to wrap it up and get it finished as quickly as possible, but Brian is not exactly working with her on that."
Both Brian and Megan have requested to have joint physical and legal custody of their three sons, Journey, 4, Bodhi, 6, and Noah, 8. Additionally, Megan is asking for termination of spousal support for herself and the 47-year-old actor.
