Winthrop's Pat Kelsey named new UMass coach
Date: March 21, 2017Author: Brian Wilmer 0 Comments

Pat Kelsey has been named the 22nd head coach in University of Massachusetts men's basketball history, it was announced by Director of Athletics Ryan Bamford on Tuesday.
With that one sentence, one of the more remarkable runs in Winthrop basketball history came to a close.
There are two different sides to this: the professional and the personal. I'll cover both in this space. Before I proceed, let it be known that I am not a Winthrop beat writer — Bret McCormick does an outstanding job in that role — but I do cover the Big South, and my travels often lead me to Winthrop, if for no other reason than proximity.
First, the professional. Kelsey went 102-59 in his time in Rock Hill, setting a Big South record for wins during his first five years. He took four straight Winthrop teams to Big South championship games — that he even did that is the story, not the outcome of any of those games — and led this year's Eagles to a Big South regular-season title, a Big South tournament title on his team's home floor, and an NCAA Tournament trip in which his team faced off with Butler. He often spoke of Winthrop being a tradition-rich program and of hanging banners in the Winthrop Coliseum, and he was a part of achieving that goal.
The story behind Kelsey's arrival in Rock Hill is like that in a movie. Kelsey opened up some about his trek following that Big South championship, thanking former Winthrop President Anthony DiGiorgio and retired Athletic Director Tom Hickman, who were responsible for his hiring.
"They hired a guy six years ago, five years ago, that had never called a time out before, and was not in the coaching profession at the time," Kelsey said to the media after that game. "You talk about putting your neck out there a little bit, and having a gut feel that this guy can help lead our program, and they did that. I owe them a big debt of gratitude."
Kelsey's relationship with legendary Xavier and Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser is well-known to anyone who follows his story. Prosser's imprint is on every step Kelsey takes, and his son, Mark, became Kelsey's top assistant at Winthrop. In fact, if you ask anyone who is familiar with the program, they'll tell you that he is — pardon the pun — a slam-dunk choice to replace Kelsey at the helm.
No need to look far to replace Pat Kelsey at Winthrop. Assistant Mark Prosser, the son of the late Skip Prosser, is ready to take over.
— Andy Katz (@ESPNAndyKatz) March 21, 2017
In the interest of disclosure, I agree. Prosser is a star.
This brings us to the personal.
I've spent a lot of time talking to Kelsey over virtually his entire tenure as the Eagles' leader. We've talked in hotel ballrooms at Media Day, in the press room at Winthrop following early-season games when it was just him, Bret and me, in jam-packed press rooms, in happy times and in not-so-happy times. If you listen to him, you'll hear him say the same thing a lot in each of those conversations — he has sometimes joked that he's a bad interview because of that — but it speaks to his consistency as a coach. As a man. You always know what you're getting with Pat Kelsey, and you know it will be good.
I've also seen his heart. Everyone knows the story of his comments about the Sandy Hook tragedy, but I was there when the family of Chase Kowalski, one of the kids lost that day, visited the Winthrop Coliseum. I saw how their presence impacted him and his team. Kelsey's team wore jerseys adorned with the names of the children lost in the shooting. It was real to him.
Just as Prosser's impact on Kelsey is obvious, so too is that of his family. Kelsey's father, brother, wife and children are rarely far from his side. In fact, if you look in the seats just behind the bench after a questionable call, you'll often see them voicing their displeasure — respectfully, as is their habit — with the events that just took place. You'll see Kelsey's children running around on the floor after games. Kelsey even said after the Big South title game that his plan to "play hoop and build Legos" with his young son would stand, no matter the game's outcome.
The link to family extends far beyond Kelsey's bloodlines. Whether it is speaking of his relationships with Liberty coach Ritchie McKay and Longwood coach Jayson Gee (they "saved my life", Kelsey would say at this season's Big South Media Day, by helping him explore his faith), his fellow coaches or his players, that word keeps coming up. Family.
His players said as much at the interviews before their NCAA Tournament appearance.
"The main thing that stood out was Coach Kelsey. He flew to Australia, really got to know me as a person," said Winthrop forward Xavier Cooks. "I knew I was going to feel a lot homesick over here. He really made me feel at home, provide like a family environment for me. That's really the main thing the that came to me."
"I'm from Ohio. Coach Kelsey is from Ohio, as well. I can agree with Xavier as far as him coming to my hometown and just seeing where I was raised and what's going on around here and just, you know, being a coach that actually cared. That was a starting point right there," said Eagle guard Keon Johnson.
If you ask every other person in that Winthrop locker room, they'll likely give you a similar answer, in terms of what led them to this university in a growing city — don't call it the Charlotte suburbs, call it Rock Hill — to be a part of this program. To play for this coach and his staff.
After Kelsey was involved in the JMU and Georgia Tech vacancies last offseason, most who follow the Winthrop program had to see this day coming. Once his Eagles won the Big South title and headed to the NCAA Tournament, it had to appear all the more obvious.
It is often said that the true test of a coach is whether he leaves the program in better shape than he found it. That Kelsey did so at Winthrop is inarguable.
There's no way in hell I'd bet against his doing the same at UMass.

Who Remembers…Howdy Beef 'N Burger?
In a previous "Who Remembers…?" we discussed Burger Chef. A number of people had mentioned another burger joint Howdy Beef n' Burger. Having grown right here and not recalling Howdy Beef n' Burger, I knew it was before my time. There are a LOT of "Who Remembers…?" that I would like to do – in fact, a number that would already have been done – however, the lack of images prevents that.
Howdy Beef 'n Burger was a chain with at least 27 locations making it easier to come across photographs and anecdotes – enough to put something together.
The button that kid's would get with each order. (timepassagesnostalgia.com)
The Howdy Beef 'n Burger chain was started by the same fellow that also founded Dunkin' Donuts, William Rosenberg. The chain centralized in Boston and spread outward over the course of a few years and was inspired by the children's television show that ran from 1947-1960.
"Howdy's" was supposed to be a Dunkin' Donuts segue into focusing on and serving food. In fact, many of the first few Howdy's, like the one in Concord, NH that opened in 1965 and owned by Sam Silverstein, were "combination" Dunkin Donuts and Howdy Beef 'n Burgers and not stand-alone shops. While these were separate storefronts, they shared the same parking lots and were right alongside one another.
The idea was that customers could stop in for coffee and "a" doughnut or muffin in the morning, and return later for lunch or supper. These first franchises were said to be very profitable. Silverstein said of his Concord shop that the Howdy's brought it more revenue than his Dunkin' Donut's location by a long shot.
As far as the South Coast goes, the Fall River location was on President Avenue and the business mogul, Michael Panagakos, owned two of them in New Bedford. One of which was situated downtown on Purchase Street.
One of many variations of Howdy Doody restaurant, Howdy's beefburgers, and Howdy Beef 'n Burgers. (stolffiles.com)
I do remember the McDonald's that replaced it, but not the Howdy's. Based off of memory from when I was a child, I believe the Howdy's Beef 'n Burger/McDonalds was next door to where the Bamboo Garden was. I couldn't find any solid information where the second one was (near the car wash), but came across one anecdote that mentioned it was at the bottom of Rockdale Avenue.
I know that someone out there will recall both and I hope you clarify.
What I've come across in terms of anecdotes are many. What's remembered fondly? "Howdy, may I help you?" Clipping coupons to get four burgers for one buck or occasional sales where you could get twelve burgers for a dollar. A New England menu with seafood, including haddock or shrimp dinners, fish sandwiches, clam strips, and Snow's clam chowder.
The Big "B" was their version of the Big Mac or Whopper – speaking of which I came across the mention of a sandwich called the "Whooper." There was a popular roast beef sandwich and a fried chicken with French fries plate. A soda or order of French fries were 20 cents. Rumors are that you could, of course, order Dunkin' Donuts coffee. While they didn't have anything similar to a Happy Meal, with every order a child got a Howdy Doody button.
The jingle was as follows:
"Howdy Beefburger Drive-ins Serve up tasty treats
Beefburgers made with just the finest meats
Howdy Beefburger Drive-Ins, Drive right up and get
Speedy Speedy Speedy Service and the best Beefburgers yet."
Do you remember Howdy's Beef 'N Burgers? Have pictures or anecdotes? Please comment and share!


Although I've been addicted to reading since I was three, it took me a while to figure out I wanted to become a writer myself. I have a Law degree I rarely use, an aging background as a journalist, and in my teens I was a professional target shooter for a decade. At twenty-four I began writing my first novel, as therapy to find my way during a tough, crucial part of my life. When it was immediately snatched by an American publisher, I knew that was it. I was born a writer — even if I hadn't known it yet.
Since then, I've learned, I've grown, I've tried and failed countless times, and was tempted to give up writing just as often. No one told me that being a published author is a love-hate relationship, or that it means so much more than simply writing. But in the end, my love for the written word has prevailed.
I try to be a well-rounded author, and I write humorous romance and tension-filled thrillers with the same enthusiasm for my craft.
On October 25th 2018 I became the first Romanian who is a USA Today bestselling author.
During my journey I've also discovered my passion for cover design, and now I indulge my creativity further by working as a professional graphic artist on my website, CoveredByMelinda.com.
I love to connect with book lovers all over the world. Follow me, message me, say hi, and if you read any of my books, please leave a review. I'd love to hear from you!


The Thunder had several chances to win. Oklahoma City got possession trailing by two with 18.5 seconds remaining. Oklahoma City's Carmelo Anthony got trapped in the corner and forced his way through before turning the ball over. Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook then fouled Portland's Al-Farouq Aminu with 7 seconds to play and fouled out. Aminu made the first free throw and missed the second to give the Thunder a chance to force overtime, but Anthony missed a 3-pointer as time expired.
Thunder coach Billy Donovan felt Anthony was the right person to take the final shot with Westbrook out, despite the fact that he had made just 3 of 12 shots before taking that last jumper.
The arena had the energy of a playoff game, especially in the second half. McCollum liked the way the Trail Blazers had to scrape and claw to get the win in a hostile environment.
Damian Lillard scored 24 points, and Jusuf Nurkic added 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who swept all four games with the Thunder this season.
Westbrook led the Thunder with 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Steven Adams had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Jerami Grant added 17 points.
Oklahoma City trailed 44-29 in the second quarter before going on a 16-0 run to take the lead. Portland regrouped and led 57-52 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Portland's Ed Davis came down on Oklahoma City guard Terrance Ferguson's back, and Davis shoved him as the two fell toward the ground. Ferguson got up quickly and went after Davis, and a skirmish followed. Four technical fouls were issued – to Evan Turner and Davis for Portland and to Ferguson and Westbrook for the Thunder. Shortly after that, Oklahoma City's Paul George hit a 3 to give the Thunder a 75-74 lead. Portland's Maurice Harkless made a 3-pointer as the third quarter expired to put the Trail Blazers up 82-80.

10 All of this demonstrates the complex interethnic relationships in the New York underworld. B ig Bat t l es in the Big A pple 37 Rothstein was such a central figure in the New York underworld that he was consulted like a guru. At one point the rebellious garment union locals, dominated by communists, were splitting the industry apart. The communists contacted Rothstein for help in their strike activities. He arranged to loan them $1,775,000, which was to be used to bribe police and judges so they would be neutral in the labor wars, and he made the phone calls and contacts to make sure it was spent effectively.
In this case the proof of the pudding was obvious: once he was in charge of Augie's gang, Lepke infiltrated labor unions just as he apparently advocated. In other words, the gangs who had been called in by the garment unions for assistance never left. Dutch Schultz One Jewish mobster who emerged late in the Roaring Twenties was Dutch Schultz. He was born in 1902 to German Jewish parents in the Yorkville section of Manhattan and later moved to the Bronx. His real name was Arthur Flegenheimer, but he was called Dutch Schultz after a legendary nineteenth-century rowdy Bronx kid.
The episode created headlines around the world. 33 In the minds of the populace, and among most crime writers as well, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre is forever linked to Al Capone. He was never indicted or convicted of that crime, but neither was he convicted of other crimes or murders for which crime writers and the pubic believe him guilty—that is, the violent takeover of Cicero and the killings of Joe Howard, Dion O'Banion, William McSwiggin, Hymie Weiss, and Frankie Yale. Capone's guilt in the Saint Valentine's Day case is plausible, given his longtime, bloody struggle against the North Side mob.

Trusting a Scot (The Soulmate Chronicles Book 2) by Keira Montclair
Her enemy saves her life. Can they learn to trust one another?
Two soulmates, Catherine and Graeme, are about to be reborn again, and their new lives will bring them back to Scotland. Only this time, they will find themselves in the midst of a bitter conflict between Scotland and England. With new names and no memory of their connection, will they be able to find each other and stay together?
Cara Breckenbridge's life is torn apart when the English storm her small village. Her husband knew they were coming, but bitterness toward the English convinced him to stay and make a stand, even though he knew his wife and sons would pay the price. Cara's husband is killed and the baron who ordered his death nearly slays her, too—only his marshal, Gabriel Montgomerie, saves her life. Instead of killing her and the lads, the baron entrusts them to Gabriel's care, with a rather distressing order: Cara is to spy on the Scots for the English, or else the boys will be killed.
Although Cara is a true Scot, she will do anything to save her family. To her shock, as she spends more time with Gabriel, she begins to realize that the Englishman is a good man…and she feels inexplicably drawn to him. But when they catch whispers of a plan being concocted by rebellious Scots, what will win out, Cara's loyalty to her sons and the man who saved them or her love for her country?

Luke Maile definitely played baseball in 2022
Let's Go Tribe | November 16, 2022

Where were you when the Cleveland Guardians made the biggest splash of the 2021-22 offseason? Luke Maile, a legendary catcher who blessed the Rays, Blue Jays, and Brewers with his presence over an illustrious six-year career, signed with the Guardians for a cool $900k on March 12.
What he did in the months since was, well, pretty average. If you squint and put Maile on a team that has an offensive catcher ahead of him, he looks like a serviceable backup catcher, slashing .221/.301/.326 with the Guardians this season. To go along with a career-high 76 games, he also tied his personal best with three home runs.

This is my 6th year guiding a Chinese team to Antarctica. We fly from Cape Town to ALCI Airbase on the Princess Astrid Coast of Queen Maud Land and then by vehicle to our base at Oasis Guesthouse in the Schirmacher Oasis. The two main objectives over the 10-day trip are a flight to the South Pole with a camp on the plateau and a visit to the Emperor penguin rookery at Atka Bay. Aside from this we have many side trips including climbing local peaks and a walk to the Ice Tunnel at the edge of the Lazarev Ice Shelf. I was in the party that discovered the tunnel in 2010, quite an amazing find.
Following the China trip I'm taking off for more than two weeks on a solo kite-ski trip from the airbase to the Drygalski range in the Orvin Mountains. Nestled in this range are the iconic peaks of Ulvetanna and Holtanna which I've never seen despite being in the region so many times. It's around 165km in a direct line to the mountains which in ideal conditions I could cover in a day of kiting. I want to do some simple climbs and circumnavigate the range to see the mountains from every angle. If time permits I'll then head east, following my nose, and the wind, to explore a string of similar ranges that make up the Orvin Mountains.
The Drygalsi range is a relatively popular destination with most teams flying in to climb or photograph, but aside from a Norwegian team that skied out to the mountains and back from the airbase the route is pretty fresh. I don't think anyone has kite-skied there before. Arctic Trucks have driven a variation of the route before but I'm not using any of their info, I want this to be as much a trip of discovery as possible. The route is of course pocked by crevasse fields, many of which I can see on Google Earth and I intend to skirt these where possible, but aside from that info, and the locations of the airbase and Ulvetanna, I won't be using any maps, just flying by the seat of my pants! I've rigged up a self-arrest system on the sled in the event I fall into a crevasse.
This is somewhat of a kiting rebirth for me. I did a lot in my early career – across Greenland in 1995, to the South Pole from McMurdo in 98-99, across the South Patagonian Icecap in 2000 and some in Iceland in 2003 – but have been re-inspired by the recent colossal trips of Geoff Wilson, Dixie Dansercoer and Eric McNair-Landry. These guys have firmly established kite-skiing as the most efficient, not to mention exhilarating, form of polar travel, and I feel a strong need to take it up again. In March I'll take my daughter Mardi on a 10-day kite-ski trip in Svalbard. The winds there are not as steady or predictable as Antarctica, but it will be fun nonetheless, and a buzz to be out there with Mardi.
As usual I'll be posting pics and updates at www.icetrek.com.

Wisconsin Basketball
Wisconsin vs Virginia - Game Preview
This year's ACC/Big Ten Challenge will have a different feel to it because of the ACCs new additions. However, for the Hoos and Badgers, the only difference will be the location. After the Hoos went to Madison last year and came away with a tough 60-54 victory, the Badgers come to Charlottesville this year for a matchup that seems likely to be a higher scoring one.
By Paul Guttman@TikiUVA Dec 3, 2013, 2:59pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Wisconsin vs Virginia - Game Preview
Curtis Wilson-USA TODAY Sports
As long as Tony Bennett remains in Charlottesville, there will be ties between Virginia and Wisconsin. Tony's father, Dick Bennett, coached all over the state of Wisconsin, but had the most success with the Badgers. In 2000, he led the team to the final four, and then retired during the following season. Current Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan took over for Bennett. Dick returned to coaching a few years later at Washington State, and Tony took over when he retired from that job. Many people believe that Wisconsin is the one job that Tony would leave Charlottesville for.
Wisconsin has been to the NCAA tourney each of the past 14 seasons, including all 12 under Bo Ryan. This year's team is likely to extend that streak, as they are 8-0 already and currently ranked 8th in the AP Poll. This team, however, is somewhat different from past Badger teams. While they still play tough defense and play at a slow pace, this team can score much more effectively that past squads.
Last year, the Hoos went to Madison and won 60-54 behind 22 points from Joe Harris. The Hoos scored 1.07 points per possession in the game, but held Wisconsin to just .96 ppp. That was the difference in the outcome. Again, this year's Wisconsin team is far more advanced offensively, while still playing good defense.
Wisconsin Breakdown
While last year's Wisconsin team finished #1 in the country in defensive efficiency, this year's team is 37th. Virginia was 24th last year, and is 4th thus far this year. Offensively, the Badgers were 108th last year and sit at 13th this year. The Hoos were 89th last year and are 58th so far this year.
The biggest advantage the Hoos will have in this game is their depth. While the Hoos legitimately go 9 deep and don't have a single player averaging 27 minutes, Wisconsin's starting 5 all average over 28 minutes per game and just 3 other players see 10+ minutes per game.
The Badgers lost 3 of their top players from last year's squad (Ryan Evans, Jared Berggren and Mike Bruesewitz). Those were the Badgers top 3 rebounders, 2 of the top shot blockers and 2 of the top scorers.
The top returning player is Ben Brust, who led the team in scoring last year. Despite the fact that he's the team's 3rd leading scorer right now, he's the top threat on the team and led them with 15 in last year's matchup. He shot 38% from 3 last year (and is at 44% this year), so he'll need to be watched on the perimeter. While he looks like a PG and certainly has the ability to create shots for his teammates, he's really a scorer. He'll pose problems for the Hoos, who do not really have an ideal candidate to guard him. He's quicker than most of the Hoos. The Hoos' best bet for guarding him might be Justin Anderson, who has the quickness to stay with him and length to bother his shot.
The team's leading scorer this year is Frank Kaminsky. Kaminsky is a 7 footer who played limited minutes last year and averaged just 4 points and 2 boards. He's averaging 15 points per game this year, but that includes a 43 point barrage against North Dakota. It's safe to assume that the Hoos will defend him better then North Dakota did. Despite his 7 foot frame, Kaminsky is not an interior player on offense. He's taken nearly a third of his shots from 3 and he's shooting 48% from behind the arc. Last year, he shot 31% on 45 attempts. Defensively, Kaminsky is very good shot blocker and could cause problems on dribble drives. He also matches up well with Mike Tobey, who is used to having significant height advantages down low.
Sam Dekker is 2nd on the team in scoring and first in usage rate. As a freshman last year, Decker averaged nearly 10 points and over 3 rebounds per game. This year, he's up to nearly 15 and over 5. He also shot 39% from 3 last year, and he's shooting 38% so far this year. He's also likely to be the main matchup for Joe Harris. He's really the only player on the team who matches up with Joe in terms of both size and athleticism. Dekker was one of the top recruits in the nation in 2012, and his game is reminiscent of Joe's.
Josh Gasser returns after missing the entire season last year with a torn ACL. He's shooting 45% on 3s this year, after shooting about that in 2012. Gasser is actually the most efficient scorer on the team, and has taken fully half of his shots from beyond the 3point line. He's still getting his legs back under him after the injury, and has been mostly acting as a spot-up 3 point shooter.
The final piece of the Wisconsin starting 5 is PG Traevon Jackson. Jackson is also shooting 45% from 3 (noticing a trend here?) but leads the team in assists by a wide margin. He's also a very good rebounder from the PG position. He's a pesky defender and has a knack for poking the ball out. With the problems Malcolm Brogdon has had handling the ball, this is something to watch if Brogdon finds himself playing PG.
The only other player of consequence for the Badgers is freshman Nigel Hayes. Hayes was a top 100 recruit and is the best interior player on the team. He's averaging just 15 minutes per game, and he's still learning how to play college ball. He turns the ball over on nearly 25% of his possessions, and he's been below average when he doesn't turn it over. This is due largely to his abysmal FT shooting. He's drawing fouls at a high rate, but shooting just 47% from the charity stripe. He could play a big role in this game because of his interior presence, to help counteract the Hoos frontcourt depth.
Duje Dukan and Bronson Koenig also average around 15 minutes per game. Dukan is a bit of a Sam Dekker-lite, with the ability to knock down the 3 point shot. He's taken half his shots from 3 point range and made 42% of them. Koenig is a freshman who is a pure PG. He's seen largely garbage time, but he's made 5 out 9 treys and 6 out of 9 twos. He's quick and although he's inexperienced, he may be called upon if Wisconsin finds themselves in foul trouble.
As you may have noticed, the Badgers feature a lot of 3 point shooters. All 5 starters are legitimate threats from downtown, although Jackson isn't nearly as dangerous a shooter as the rest. As a team, they are shooting nearly 44%. If that continues, the Hoos are in trouble. It likely won't continue. But keeping the Badgers from getting open looks outside is the key to the game for the Hoos. Brust is the biggest threat, and the main guy to watch. Dekker may end up leading the Badgers in scoring, largely because of all the attention Brust will draw.
The Hoos are far and away the deeper team. They are also bigger, with 4 starters over 6'5" (Wisconsin likely has just 2 starters over 6'5" as they have been starting 3 guards). Wisconsin rebounds the ball as a team, with all 5 starters averaging about 5 boards per game.
Wisconsin doesn't give up many offensive boards, but the Hoos have better offensive rebounders than Wisconsin has faced thus far. The Hoos are 2nd in the nation in preventing offensive rebounds, and combined with Wisconsin's lack of height and likely gameplan means Wisconsin is going to be one-and-done on most of their offensive trips.
The game is going to come down to Wisconsin's perimeter shooting versus the Hoos interior dominance. If Wisconsin is able to knock down contested 3s, they'll probably win. If they aren't, they probably won't.
Prediction: Hoos 68, Wisconsin 58 with Wisconsin starting out hot from outside, but faltering late due to foul trouble and the Hoos interior game.

St Edmund, Kessingland
home index e-mail what's new?
www.suffolkchurches.co.uk - a journey through the churches of Suffolk
All along the East Anglian coast there are medieval churches with massive towers, and at Kessingland the church of St Edmund has one of the biggest. They serve as beacons and marking points to ships and sea, and this one has much in common with the one at Walberswick. Mortlock suggests the architect was the same person, Richard Russell, and that it was probably begun in the Spring of 1436 or 1437. It took about 12 years to complete, an extraordinarily short time for such a vast structure. The western face is glorious, with flushwork symbols, including Catholic imagery that the 16th and 17th century reformers must have thought outrageous.
The way in which it rises above this busy coastal parish reminds me of those at Winterton and Happisburgh in Norfolk, and the fact that Kessingland is actually in the Diocese of Norwich is a mark of how far north we have come. Time has not been kind to either Kessingland village or church. The sea has come calling, as it has on so many villages around here, taking houses and lives. The people themselves destroyed the south aisle and chancel in the late 16th century, finding them expensive to maintain, and unnecessary for the Preaching House liturgy of the Church of England. The north side collapsed about a hundred years later, so really there is very little here from medieval times, apart from the tower.
On an earlier entry for this church, I bemoaned the fact that St Edmund was kept locked without a keyholder, like so many of the Lowestoft area churches. How times have changed! This church is militantly open every day these days, with signs out on the road and a welcoming sign at the entrance. I warmed to it immediately, but I had not realised that I was about to step in a fascinating and compelling interior. You enter from the west, and down through an internal porch into the body of this big church. It must have been enormous when the aisles were in place. I was struck by how well-used it felt, how welcoming it was.
The arcades have been filled in, leaving windows in the Decorated style on the south side, but an unusual series of late 17th Century domestic windows on the north side. The reason is explained by a wall inscription: This Church was put Out and Rebuilt by the care of John Campe and Thomas Godfrey Gent. in the Year 1694, and Finished in 95. Campe and Godfrey were the churchwardens responsible for overseeing the rebuilding of the church. A late 17th century nave is an unusual thing in East Anglia - an unusual thing anywhere - and coupled as it is with an Edwardian chancel I should think it is pretty well unique.
Even if you had been transported here magically from the centre of London, you would know straight away that this was a coastal church. The paraphernalia of the main business of the parish is scattered around - anchors, ship wheels, pilot lights, and so on. Another big clue is the enormous list of names on the war memorials, most of them serving in the Navy. Up in the chancel, which was rebuilt at the start of the 20th Century, a plaque reminds us that it was erected to the Glory of God and in memory of parishioners lost at sea. The memory of the past is a deep one here, and the sum of it is still being added to: as recently as 2007, a fabulous new window by Nicola Kantorowicz was added on the south side in memory of the Kessingland driftmen.
The glass in the east window is a good scheme by Kempe & Co at the height of their powers, depicting the Crucifixion flanked by the Blessed Virgin and St John, with the Suffolk Saints St Edmund and St Felix looking on. The other glass is not so good, a sentimental rendition of the three Marys at the empty tomb by the Maile workshop. The Marys in particular look decidedly awkward. But the great treasure of Kessingland church is not any of the windows, but the 15th Century font. Its great battered heavy bowl seems to melt like a ripe cheese, and the carvings depict seated figures, mostly women; among them you can see the Blessed Virgin and St Ursula. Around the stem is a sequence of Bishops and Saints.
A curiosity on the north wall of the nave is that there are two separate memorials to Robert Provo Norris. He was killed in the first South African wars of the 1850s, and one of the memorials was erected as a mark of esteem by his brother officers. The other was set here, presumably, by his family, and notes that he died of a wound... received whilst gallantly leading his company into action against the Kaffirs, during the war then going on at the Cape of Good Hope. Peter, who was with me, spent some of his school days in South Africa, and noted quite how offensive the term 'Kaffir' would have been there, even by the late 19th Century.
There is a jaunty ship wheel on the front of the pulpit which, along with all the other furnishings at the east end, is a nice piece of Edwardian sentimentality. And I really liked the fact that some of the older banners survive here - so often, they were thrown out during the course of the 20th Century. St Edmund still has two banners for the Girls Friendly Society. This was a movement begun in 1875 by Mrs Mary Townsend, and it was designed to befriend and support unmarried girls coming out of the countryside to work in service in the towns. One of the banners here has TMF, short for Townsend Members Fellowship, across it: the TMF was what the girls moved on to when they grew up. The Girls Friendly Society still exists as an organisation working with young women in some Anglican parishes. Today it is known as GFS Platform.
What a lovely thing that they have survived. Simon Jenkins once said that Anglican parish churches are the greatest folk museum in the world, and to see these banners still in place certainly feels like a touchstone to the past of Kessingland parish, like so much here. To enter this building is to enter the story of an English coastal parish.

I'm a big fan of hamburgers, if you haven't noticed.
When we went to San Diego, I tried for the first time In-N-Out Burger. The special sauce was addicting. The cute wax paper wrapper reminded me of the Shake Shack, but I trust that In-N-Out did the wax paper wrap first.
So, how does In-N-Out Burger compare with the Shake Shack? Ah, the age old question. It's nearly impossible to know for certain that one is better than the other because the burger joints are on opposite coasts. A five hour plane ride could ruin the important, delicious facets of either burger.
As you can see in the link I shared above, the recipe is quite long. But that's only because they urge you to create your own ground beef, a part of the recipe I did not follow. I simply bought some ground chuck from the supermarket and proceeded to step five. The recipe calls for squishy hamburger buns, but I opted for the potato buns that I bought from Whole Foods. I made the onions according to plan and assembled the burger as recommended.
My dining partner and I ended up eating only one patty of the sandwich. As you can see in the above picture, the sandwich was huge and unwieldy with two patties. He ate his second patty with a fork and knife, and I elected to toss mine. I served crisp, matchstick fries with the burgers.
If Shake Shack doesn't do it for you any more, I urge you to try making your own In-N-Out burgers. It's fun and yields delicious output. How could you resist?

Fired up: 'Exciting' first day of operations for Victorville's new fire department goes well
Paola Baker Staff Writer @DP_PaolaBaker
Mar 31, 2019 at 11:47 AM Mar 31, 2019 at 11:58 AM
VICTORVILLE — Firefighters for the new city-run fire department reported for duty bright and early Saturday morning, nearly ten years after the department was first disbanded.
They were immediately greeted by a barrage of calls for service, with the majority being for medical aid, Fire Chief Greg Benson said. Personnel inspected equipment and got fire stations ready as one of the department's newly purchased medic squads ran call after call after call.
It's all in a day's work for the re-launched Victorville Fire Department.
"Going from numbers on a page to a workable concept, from interviews and the first hires to a fully running fire department, it's exciting," Deputy City Manager George Harris II said. "And I think there's 58 guys out there just as excited as I am."
The San Bernardino County Fire Department officially ended its fire protection services in the city at 8 a.m. Saturday. The 60 new fire employees now on duty will work under the city's banner for the first time since July 2008.
The transition marks the end of a 15-month process. City officials believe operating its own fire department will cut costs, with Harris II projecting annual savings of $1 million for the city, and improve the relationship between residents and emergency responders.
The public may not notice a difference in service at first.
"You can't put a pause on a 911 call," Benson said. "A transition like this requires cooperation on various levels. It takes time and effort, but we also have to be ready and able to run calls."
There will be 18 firefighters available per shift on any given day. All personnel were on duty Saturday to ensure the transition would run smoothly, Benson said.
As the Daily Press took a tour through station 311 on Seventh Street Saturday afternoon, Benson said operations were going off without a hitch.
"ICEMA inspected both our medic squads and all of our engines yesterday and today," Benson said, referring to the Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency, which oversees emergency medical services in this county. "Everything was approved for use."
The city's split from the County was a source of contention for some time. Doubts about the city providing the same level of service were addressed. Tensions rose during negotiations to temporarily extend County services with Victorville until the city's new department was up-and-running.
Benson, however, has remained unfazed. As the department's first official hire, he's had a chance to foster relationships with the High Desert community for almost a year now. The focus on engagement seems to have paid off for Benson.
"The community has been incredibly welcoming, as you can see," Benson said, as firefighters took a quick break to munch on cookies baked for them by the High Desert Church. "Everyone is very supportive. And to go back to their own city-run fire department, that really resonates as well."
For recent hire Ben Baladez, previously an airport fire chief at the small fire station at Southern California Logistics Airport, it's a welcome chance to serve under the banner of the community he's called home for years.
"I can't even tell you how good it feels to have this uniform on and see when people recognize it as 'the city fire department','" Baladez said. "It's an amazing feeling to see Victorville Fire back."

Another September ignites another school year! As the back-to-school activities swing into motion, you may find yourself wondering how to make the most of this year and how to keep your kids safe even when they're away from home.
It begins as soon as they step foot outside the house. Teaching our children pedestrian and bike safety is paramount—even if your kids don't walk to school or are too young to ride their bikes unattended. Inevitably and eventually, your children will be somewhere—even if it's only a parking lot—where they willhave to navigate real traffic.
1. When you're biking, always wear a properly fitted helmet. This can save lives if your child takes a tumble or a driver does not see them.
2. Wear bright colors. Whether your child is walking or riding, wearing bright colors ensures that drivers are alert and aware of their presence.
3. Put away phones and headphones, especially when crossing the street. Keep distractions at bay by staying alert to both sights and sounds.
4. Even at an early age, teach kids to look left, then right and left again before crossing the street. Remind them to keep looking back and forth until they are safely across.
5. Cyclists should use the proper hand signals when turning, always following the rules of the road. Make sure that your child is proficient at riding before setting them out on their own. Encourage your children to ride in a straight line, never swerving in and out of traffic.
6. Children under 10 should always walk with an adult. While the maturity and ability of each child varies, as a general rule, kids under 10 should always have supervision and hold the hand of an adult when crossing the street.
7. When biking, encourage your children to ride on the sidewalk as much as possible. When that is not an option, ensure they are riding in a bike lane or to the far right of the street, going with the flow of car traffic.
8. When walking, children should ALWAYS be on the sidewalk. Encourage your kids not to walk in heavily-trafficked areas without sidewalks. If it is necessary for older children, ensure they know to always cross the street at crosswalks or designated cross points. Unlike cyclists, pedestrians should walk opposite the flow of traffic (to the far left) so drivers can see the individuals from a distance and so your children can see cars coming from afar.
9. In dark or low-light situations, ensure your child is in reflective gear or that they are equipped with a light. The darker it is, the more alert your children should be.
10. Set a good example for your children. As the old adage goes, "monkey see, monkey do," and our children will always follow the example we set. As a result, when you are walking and cycling together, ensure that you are also following proper safety etiquette, putting phones and distractions away and being cognizant of proper safety practices.
Only you know if your children are ready to bike and walk alone. But before you make the decision, ensure they are properly prepared by speaking to them directly about safety. Articulate why it's important and why it's important to care. Let's start this school year right—safely.

Quick-fire Pooran half ton leads T&T Red Force past Canada
A quick-fire half century from Nicholas Pooran led the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force to a two-wicket win over Canada in the CWI Regional Super50 Cup in Port of Spain on Sunday.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Canada put a competitive 207 for 7 on the board. The total was in the end comfortably overhauled by the home team, who made 208 for 8 with 56 balls to spare.
Canada captain Davy Jacobs (37) led a team effort from the visitors, which also saw Bhavindu Adhihetty (33) and Navneet Dhaliwal (33) get solid starts. Rayad Emrit had the best bowling figures for T&T after taking 3 for 58.
In response, the Red Force found themselves in early trouble after opener Lendl Simmons (1) was dismissed lbw by Romesh Eranga, with just 7 runs on the board. His opening partner Evin Lewis (25) followed soon after, as he was dismissed by Cecil Pervez, to leave the hosts struggling at 2 for 35. A responsible 50 from 84 from Shai Hope then got things moving for the Red Force.
With Pooran joining Hope at the crease, following the dismissal of Ramdin, the pair put on 104 runs for the fourth wicket. The partnership was broken when Pooran was bowled by Sukhdeep Brar in the 33rd over, leaving the team in touching distance at 4 for 161 with wickets in hand. Hope departed two overs later. Kieron Pollard made three runs after lasting for three deliveries, but a solid 18 from 21 from Emritt was enough to see the team home.
Brar was Canada's best bowler after claiming figures of 3 for 39. (SportsMax)

PACKERS BLOG
Raji hiatus leaves Packers plenty of cap room not to spend this off-season
Tom Silverstein
Green Bay - As free agency heads toward its second week, there are still some mid-tier free agents roaming about who could land decent contracts, but for the most part the big spending is over.
If you haven't been signed to a mega-deal by now, your ship has sailed. The next boat's departure time isn't set and it definitely won't be a luxurious ocean liner.
The Green Bay Packers weren't going to spend big money on any free agent, but they have been working on keeping most of their own and their budget definitely included $4 million or more for nose tackle B.J. Raji. Assuming they were expecting a one-year deal again, they were prepared to shave the full amount off their salary cap.
But with Raji deciding to take a year off, if not more, the Packers now have $15 million in salary cap space, according to JS cap calculations and confirmed by the NFLPA. Their latest expenditure, a one-year, $5 million deal with Nick Perry, dropped them considerably.
Had Raji signed, they'd be down to $11 million. After draft picks signed it would be down to about $6 million. That still would have left them with enough flexibility to work on extensions for 2017 free agents Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, David Bakhtiari, JC Tretter and Eddie Lacy.
Minus Raji's salary cap hit, their philosophy might change a little bit, but not the way most fans would want. It's not going to cause them to dip into the free agent market any more than they normally would unless a quality player unexpectedly gets released as team's clean up their salary caps and rosters.
Where the philosophy changes some is that GM Ted Thompson and director of player finance Russ Ball now have the opportunity through contract structure to eat up some of this year's cap charges with the extensions they negotiate this summer or in the fall.
Maybe if they're worried about Sitton's long-term health, they do a multi-year deal but they protect themselves in future years by making sure the biggest cap charge is this year. Ditto with Lang and Lacy. The fear isn't that Sitton or Lang break down this year, it's one or two years down the road.
The more risk they can remove from the contract the better, especially with guys who are nearing age 30 (Sitton and Lang) or take a lot of punishment (Lacy).
Ultimately, the decision on extensions will come down to how the free agents perform, what potential replacements Thompson adds in the draft and how willing both sides are to meet in the middle in negotiations.
As far as their remaining free agents this off-season, they are in the running for RB James Starks and OLB Mike Neal, but they seem to be in reactive mode and unwilling to make a deal happen. Starks has drawn interest around the league and teams are kicking the tires on Neal, but if the deals were that good both of them would be signed by now.
The Packers have their price and they're waiting to see if Starks and Neal can beat it. If they can, then maybe they raise their offer.
If they are able to sign Starks, Neal and John Kuhn, that would reduce their cap more than $5 million and they would be back about where they were when Raji was still being considered. If that's the case, they'll probably have to do standard contract structures and just accept that they'll have some big cap numbers down the road on those who sign extensions.
Every year there are subtractions from the roster (and thereby the cap) and teams with a good handle on their salary cap have a natural balance of increases and reductions each year. In the case of the Packers, the increases are always in-house. Outsides need not apply.

Q: moving the source code from within swift playground to a swift file under "sources" I have a SpriteKit scene in a swift playground (a SKView class with all the functions that come with it such as didMove, touchesBegan and Update), and when the live view is running it always responds super slow to touches and interactions. My question is would moving the whole source code from the swift playground to a separate swift file and import it into the "Sources" folder help with the live view response, and regardless of if it helps or not, how do I do it?
Here is what my swift playground looks like:
import PlaygroundSupport
import SpriteKit
import AVFoundation
import UIKit

class GameScene: SKScene {
    //my source code
  }

 let sceneView = SKView(frame: CGRect(x:0 , y:0, width: 720, height: 540))
      if let scene = GameScene(fileNamed: "GameScene") {
           scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill
           sceneView.presentScene(scene)
}

PlaygroundSupport.PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = sceneView

I also have about ten png and a couple .mp3 in the "Resources" folder, as well as Action.sks and GameScene.sks.

A: Found out a little earlier that when I move the GameScene class into a separate swift file everything would render very smoothly.

Less than a decade ago, no one talked about limited social contact within organizations unless individuals or groups became too conspicuous for the company's liking. However, social networking websites, such as Facebook, have changed the rules of social engagement in today's corporate world. Many employers see such social networks as a threat.
While we cannot contest the utility of social networks for job seekers and recruiters, more and more employers around the world are frowning at employees using Facebook, Twitter and other similar websites while at work. It should come as no surprise to anyone that many companies block social networking sites completely on their internal networks.
According to a social media infographic, most companies readily take on the idea of using social networks for promoting their brands and their image. However, when it comes to employees using the same, some companies fear negative information (classified or otherwise) and comments people sometimes make on social networks without fully realizing their implications.
Another reason for blocking social networks is low productivity created by continuous distractions. Social networking can be addictive to the extent that some people may actually spend several hours a day receiving updates from people in their networks, posting status updates, playing games and finding long-lost friends.
At a time when multitasking and tight deadlines are the name of the game, the last thing an employee can afford is a distraction, especially when we have enough work-related distractions. Such time wasters can cost companies huge revenues losses over extended time periods.
More than 50 percent of U.S. employers have a formal policy about social networking at work while 42 percent completely reject the idea that employees should be socializing during working hours. The trend is observed more in small and medium enterprises compared with larger corporations.
Customer support, manufacturing and retail businesses discourage social media usage while media outlets encourage the trend for obvious reasons. Energy companies are reportedly among the most hostile against social networking at work.
For recruitment, some 65 percent of small businesses confess to using social networks to find their next employees. Fifty-one percent of medium-sized businesses utilize social networks for recruiting whereas 44 percent of large companies use social networks for hiring. Of these companies, 80 percent used LinkedIn as their preferred recruitment network.
Wholesale, construction and real estate are least likely to use social networking for recruitment.
The infographic goes on to add that such employer attitude contradicts employee expectations pertaining to social networks. More than 50 percent of the workforce demands access to social networks at work for varied reasons. This is true not only for the new recruits who represent Generation Y but also for members of Generation X who also reportedly use social media at work every day.
Whatever your company's attitude toward social networking may be, it pays to be familiar with it and adhere to it. In case you don't see any policy or have doubts about some aspect of it, talk to your supervisor or HR manager immediately.
As an employee, one must also be careful about what you post on your social networking profile and who you share it with. We must remain professional and remember that people in our professional network can also see our personal posts. We must set personal limits to using social networks and use such networks to advance our careers.

Saturday morning was busy with our Track & Field Program. Brenda Painter managed to break her own record in the 200m from 2015. Congratulations!!!
Sunday morning was the second of our Summer Trail Series runs. With a special run on the 11th Day of the 11th Month at the spectacular Mt Clarence for what we call "Dickason's Dare".
