  • Hours: Open every day at 9am; closing times vary seasonally from 6pm - 11pm
  • Admission: Tickets start at $82 for adults, $74 for children (3-9 yrs) [prices subject to change]

A fantastic blend of marine animals and thrill rides, SeaWorld is home to both Shamu the killer whale and Kraken, the floorless coaster. Journey to Atlantis brings both concepts together: it's an oceanic water-coaster with a 60 foot (18 meter) vertical drop. Little ones can ride a dolphin on the Sea Carousel, twist around on Jazzy Jellies, or ride the Shamu Express.

Away from the rides, its beautifully landscaped grounds include a 17 acre (6.9 hectare) lagoon, flamingo and pelican ponds, and a lush tropical rainforest. SeaWorld also offers interactive programs, including the Sharks Deep Dive, which gives guests a chance to have limited, hands-off contact with more than 50 sharks. SeaWorld also provides opportunities to feed stingrays, sea lions, and other critters.

Shows are equally spectacular. Blue Horizons presents an extravaganza of light, music, dolphins, and acrobats in colorful costumes, while Odyssea unveils a circus-like performance, complete with special effects to recreate undersea life. At night, SeaWorld presents the Makahiki Luau, full-scale dinner show featuring South Seas-style food and the music and dance of the Pacific Islands.

Practical Info

SeaWorld sits south of Orlando and Universal, and north of Disney, at the southern end of International Drive. The park is centered around the lagoon, and a map is provided upon entry. A shuttle runs daily and has 5 pickup locations in Orlando, including one at Universal Studios. Feedings and shows take place at scheduled times, so plan out your day to make sure you don't miss out.

Columbus Short Speaks Out On Domestic Abuse Allegations

By: / April 18, 2014

ABC’s prime time hit Scandal may be over but star Columbus Short still has a mess to clean up.

After news broke that Short threatened to kill himself and his wife during a heated argument, the actor addressed the domestic violence and divorce rumors on News One Live with Roland Martin.

“Saw a report yesterday about, you know, issues when it comes to your estranged wife filing for divorce; said that you threatened her — to kill her and commit suicide. Sounds like a real-life Olivia Pope,” said Martin. “Your thoughts on that?”

Short replied, “We have some amazing scriptwriters. It’s … life … life has the best scriptwriters of all time. That’s all I can say about that. But I’m still here. I’m standing. I’m talking. Let’s go!”

Since then, the Gladiator released a statement admitting that his attorneys had advised him not to comment on his marriage’s legal woes. “As you all know, lately my personal life has been subjected to a lot of press,” wrote Short. As much as I would like to provide my side of events, my counsel has instructed me that a court of law is the only and proper venue to deal with such matters.”

“Accordingly, I must refrain from making any comments, even though that is very difficult for me under the circumstances,” he added. “Thank you to my fans for your continued support during this difficult time.”

Hi there you sweet person.

I’ve been thinking a lot about kindness lately.  I’ve always been sensitive to people’s struggles and how they impact me–I have a physical reaction to others when they struggle.  I just automatically cringe when I see a frail old person–It touches something deep inside of me.  I try to be helpful when I can, but I understand that strife is often just a part of living.

Be Kind

That got me thinking: how can I be more tender and kind to people in my life?

Not just the gas station attendant or the bank teller, but my best friend, my sister, my lover.  The ones that I brush up against everyday, the ones that can often rub me the wrong way.  How am I tender in times of annoyance? This is what I realized I must do:

1) Give it to myself first.  I HAVE to be kind to myself before I can extend that to anyone else.  That inner voice yelling at me for eating that piece of cake?  That’s not kind.  Finding a way to be gentle with myself makes it a lot easier to extend that courtesy to others

2) Walk in someone else’s shoes. I think about the last horrible day I had.  Then when I see people struggling, I just imagine that’s how they are feeling.  They may be having a horrible day of their own.  It’s a lot easier to lend them a helping hand through that lens because I know how they feel.  That empathy leads me to be more kind.

3)Make it easy to do.  Kindness doesn’t have to be giving someone half of my lottery winnings (although that would be very nice). It’s more of a willing smile.  A pleasant hello.  A door held open.  This unexpected simple stuff is what makes people’s day. And it has it’s own rewards!

It feels like being kind is a necessary quality to cultivate, especially as an adult.  I mean it’s pretty easy for me to resort to the grounding habits I know when the shit hits the fan; crisis makes it easy to be kind.  But what about the everyday pleasantries?

work hard and be kind

Who you are is what you do on an everyday basis.

That’s how habits are formed, slow and steady.  It’s what you do everyday that counts and builds character.  You know that sexiness, that edge that we all have?  That’s the sprint.  Kindness is the marathon.

New Camosun trades complex due to break ground in March

A new trades training facility at Camosun College Interurban will likely break ground in March after the project received the go-ahead from Saanich council this week.

Council approved a parking variance for the $30 million building on Monday night, allowing Camosun to move forward on issuing construction tenders for the 80,000-square-foot Centre for Trades Education and Innovation.

Peter Lockie, Camosun vice-president administration, expects sod will be turning in March on the 15-acre parcel that lies between the college campus and the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. The college is aiming to finish and equip the new trades building by June 2015, in time for the start of the school year in September.

Saanich council unanimously approved Camosun adding only 83 new parking spaces to the building site (for a total of 166) rather than 248 spaces required under the zoning bylaw. The college will also have to add two trees for every one lost to make way for the centre.

The province is backing the project with a nearly $30-million grant, with the federal government chipping in about $2.5 million and Camosun $800,000. It’s part of B.C.’s drive to boost trades training, but for Camosun, it’s also about updating 40-year-old facilities.

“They are dated. They’re adequate but unremarkable. This is an opportunity for more state-of-the-art equipment, and it will be better for the students,” Lockie said. “It will be a state-of--the-art complex.”

The new trades centre is touted as LEED Gold, and designed by B+H Architects in the West Coast style of sweeping wood beams framing a tall windowed atrium. It will house heavy duty mechanics and automotive in one wing, and marine technology, sheet metal, welding and fabrication in another.

The vast majority of capital funding is committed to the new building, but the current trades spaces – the Jack White and John Drysdale buildings – will receive limited renovations, and will still house trades like carpentry, joinery, pipe fitting, electrical and plumbing.

Lockie envisions the college will use freed space in one of the old trades building, for applied research, as driven by industry.

“It gives us the opportunity to ... offer a location for industry to showcase projects and further their research agenda,” he said.

With the new trades building, Camosun isn’t projecting a great deal of growth beyond the 2,200 students currently in 20 trades programs, although the space will be available to expand the facility if needed.

UHV players receive weekly honors

March 31, 2011 at 11:01 p.m.
Updated March 30, 2011 at 10:31 p.m.

The University of Houston-Victoria's Broc Haymon and Ashley Winegeart have been named the Association of Independent Institutions Male and Female Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 28.

Haymon, a senior from Bridge City, pitched his third straight complete game in a 7-1 win over LSU-Alexandria. He struck out 12 and allowed just six hits over seven innings.

It was Haymon's third straight game to record 10 or more strikeouts.

Winegeart, a senior from Corpus Christi Carroll, hit .500 to help the Jaguars go 5-1 against Prairie View A&M, LSU-Alexandria and Central Baptist College.

Winegeart went 7 for 14, with a triple, two doubles, scored three runs and had three RBIs with a .786 slugging percentage.

Winegeart is the third UHV softball player to earn female athlete of the week honors this season.

Victoria County to study air service

By Melissa Crowe
July 22, 2013 at 2:22 a.m.
Updated July 23, 2013 at 2:23 a.m.

With more than a year remaining on the federal subsidy contract with Sun Air International, Victoria County Commissioners are planning how to market the community to attract a new airline.

The court approved a $39,500 agreement Monday with Seabury Airline Planning for a study of Victoria's flying future.

County Judge Don Pozzi said the need came up from problems with Sun Air, including the size of planes, problems with luggage and ground problems at the Houston airport. Pozzi also said he wants to look at flights to other destinations and perhaps a flight from Victoria to Dallas.

"In addition to giving us the necessary information, we hope in time it will be a valuable marketing tool," Pozzi said.

Victoria City Council has given a verbal commitment to cover 30 percent of the study's cost. The county will pay for the remainder.

At a previous City Council meeting, Victoria Economic Development Director Dale Fowler said he hopes the study shows Victoria's market can sustain a "more viable, more substantial air service."

Seabury will look at the county's economic and demographic trends; travel patterns, including passenger volumes and fares; travelers' current drive times and desired airline amenities; Victoria Regional Airport's current infrastructure; annual cost to provide service to Victoria and air service incentives.

Commissioner Clint Ives said the study will be a recruitment tool.

"Hopefully, we can bring a major airline into Victoria County again," he said.

Victoria lost its major air carrier through Colgan Air, a subsidiary of Continental Airlines, when Continental merged with United Airlines.

Colgan started flying to and from Victoria in June 2005 and took its last flight in June 2012.

At this point, the only way Victoria can provide commercial air service is through a federal Essential Air Service contract, Ives said.

The study is expected to be complete in eight weeks.

UHV's Akapo earns AII weekly honor

Oct. 23, 2013 at 5:23 a.m.

UHV sophomore Sheilat Akapo earned her second Association of Independent Institutions Conference's weekly honor this week after being named the AII Conference Female Athlete of the Week for Oct. 14-20.

Akapo, a forward from Houston, became the first UHV soccer player to record two hat tricks in a season in a 6-1 win over Huston-Tillotson on Saturday. She had her first hat trick in a season-opening win over the University of the Southwest. She also recorded an assist in the win over HTU and her seven points were a single-game UHV record.

Akapo also scored the lone goal for the Jaguars in a 2-1 loss against NCAA Division III Texas Lutheran on Sunday.

Akapo has also set single-season records for goals (13), points (29) and game-winning goals (3) for the Jaguars with one regular season game to play.

College Q&A: Employers now can register for UHV Spring Career Fair

By Jeremy Shapiro
March 29, 2014 at midnight
Updated March 28, 2014 at 10:29 p.m.

My company in Victoria has openings for new employees and summer interns. What's a good way to find UHV students who may be interested in these positions?

Crossroads area recruiters will have a chance to interact and get to know University of Houston-Victoria students and alumni job seekers April 10 during the university's Spring Career Fair.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to noon in the UHV University Center Multi-Purpose Room, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St. The fair is open to students and alumni from all UHV degree programs.

Employers interested in having a table at the career fair can register with Amy Hatmaker, UHV career services coordinator, by calling 361-570-4378 or by emailing The registration cost is $35 and includes lunch for two recruiters.

Hatmaker said the career fair is normally the first opportunity for employers to get to know promising upcoming graduates as well as alumni looking for new opportunities.

"Employers in past years have enjoyed attending UHV career fairs because they can communicate with talented, career-ready employees," Hatmaker said. "It's also good for the employers to be seen at the fair for branding and name recognition. Students learn more about the companies and spread the word about employment and intern prospects."

Hatmaker said sometimes students think in a box by just looking at careers in a specific area. In reality, there could be several other companies that could use a graduate with a similar skill set.

"A school district told me during a recent networking event that they have 10,000 employees but only 3,500 of them are teachers," Hatmaker said. "That left a lot of employment opportunities for not only education majors but those in business, counseling and nursing. I'm not sure students always realize that companies outside their main study area could be viable opportunities for them."

Students and alumni attending the career fair should dress professionally and bring copies of their resume.

"I always encourage students to attend any event where they have a chance to network with employers even if they aren't ready to actively job seek," Hatmaker said. "A lot of our students have attended career fairs to make contacts that led to opportunities later for internships or jobs. It's always good to get your name and face out there, especially for those getting ready to graduate."

Do you have a question about the University of Houston-Victoria? Contact Jeremy Shapiro, UHV communications specialist, at 361-570-4296 or

The Prodigal Son, by William Theed

The Prodigal Son

William Theed, Junior (1804-1891)

Source: 1851 Art-Journal

“We do not remember ever to have seen, prior to the exhibition of Mr. Theed's work at the Royal Academy lost year, any attempt to render this eloquent subject in sculpture; it is one eminently calculated to be thus produced, as well from the nature of the incident, as for the capability it affords for picturesque and dramatic grouping. It has frequently occurred to us, that modern sculptors possess a decided advantage over ancient, in having a wider field open before them, by a more extended education, and a more intimate acquaintance with sacred and profane history, to which they may refer for subjects.”

Dickens's. . . early identification of the grotesque with the amusingly bizarre in Nicholas Nickleby is conventionally comic, just as his tendency to equate the grotesque with the strange in The Old Curiosity Shop is conventionally romantic. By the time of Great Expectations, however, he had expanded his notion of the grotesque as a stock property of comic convention, to a "grotesque tragic-comic conception" that, he said, inspired the novel. Significantly, Dickens applies the grotesque not to oddity of character or scene but to a conception of something inherently contradictory in the human situation, which is best brought out by the deliberate mixing of genres and types appropriate to the tragic-comic.

The grotesque has often been regarded as an aspect of the Romantic reaction against Neoclassicism, an attempt to summon up the demonic and Dionysian aspects of the world by reimporting the horrific and supernatural into the well-manicured world of Augustan limits. The grotesque is thus viewed as a foil to the sublime, a comic employment of the satirical as a counter to the tragic vision. Like Shakespearean comic relief or the riotous satyr plays which rounded off the trilogies of classical Greek theater, the grotesque presents an upside-down, distorted version of what has been represented in more elevated terms.

For Dickens and Carlyle, however, the grotesque, like other aspects of their style, is the organic manifestation of a profound inner vision. It was the formal literary means both of giving expression to a perception of the world as a place at once ordinary and extraordinary, ludicrous and sublime, and of unifying such contrarities through the conception of the tragicomic and the use of grotesque contrasts associated with it. [p. 190]

Starhawk News for PS3

On: PS3
Back to game info
Starhawk screenshot
Starhawk screenshot

The freshly announced PS3 exclusive Starhawk will be able to fix bugs and other gameplay issues without having to go through the regular process of bulky updates and lengthy certifications, according to Sony.

Speaking to at the game's London reveal earlier this week, SCEA senior producer Harvard Bonin confirmed that "if we feel like, oh boy, the Kinetic rifle feels awfully overpowered - and here's why - then we can make a quick fix, and you won't even know it actually - it'll just be live on our end."

Just how much can Sony change? "Quite a bit," says Bonin, "even to the point that we can change some of the art. We can certainly fix map holes if, somehow, they sneak through."

Normally, if a developer needs to patch a game on the client-side - your console - it's required to go through a lengthy submission process with the console manufacturer, and then the user needs to download the patch to their hard drive.

Bonin thinks server-side patching will be advantageous for Starhawk. "I think that giving us the ability to do that is a gigantic help to us, because we can fix stuff on the fly without having to go through these long times of having to wait."

Sony's Santa Monica Studios and LightBox Interactive have learnt from previous experience with Warhawk. "With Warhawk," says Bonin, "if we wanted to do anything like that we would have to do a patch, submit it, go through this long amount of testing - even if you just wanted to do a very little thing. This time, though? No problem."

Starhawk is the sequel to 2006's multiplayer shooter Warhawk. The sequel adds a full-blown single-player campaign and a new style of play that allows users to construct bases by summoning down units, turrets, and entire buildings. has recently gone hands-on with the game.

Wouldn't you need an online service to play something like this?

Though Warhawk does seem like one of the few exclusives worth playing (Though I wouldn't mind watching MGS4), and I did enjoy it when I played it at a friend's, making it in space is one of the few ways to improve it (apart from porting it to PC, cos, you know. Shooters on console is kind of a bad.)

I'm really looking forward to this as Warhawk was a bundle of joy! I even gave the game to Ghost for free, because the game is that very good!

I, for one, would love an update with better graphics, a better engine and an interesting single player element. Warhawk certainly didn't get the attention it deserved.

You're obviously confusing the words 'no Warhawk player' with 'I'

How To Make Roasted Sea Bream

How To Make Roasted Sea Bream

Roasted Sea Bream Recipe. A delicious main meal perfect for a romantic dinner, a dinner party or even just a mid week meal with a twist. Devour our Roasted Sea Bream recipe.

View Ingredients In:

Prep =
Cook =
Total =

Step 1: You will need

  • 1 Sea bream weighing around 600g
  • 1 orange
  • 1 tbsp rosemary
  • 2 tbsp black olives
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp coriander, chopped
  • 1 garlic, sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Half tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped coriander for garnish
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 roasting tray
  • 1 bowl

Step 2: Pre heat the oven

Set the oven to two hundred and fifty degrees centigrade or gas mark 9

Step 3: Prepare the orange

Take your sharp knife and first top and tail the orange. Standing the orange upright, slice the peel off making sure that no white pith is visible. Slice into segments and place them into a bowl. Squeeze the remaining part of the orange into the same bowl.

Step 4: Combine the ingredients

Into the bowl of orange add the black olives, rosemary, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander and olive oil. With your spoon mix it all together well.

Step 5: Prepare the fish

Using a sharp knife score the fish. This simply means making slits into the skin of the fish. We are making 4 deep diagonal slits on each side of our fish.

Step 6: Season fish

Place the fish into a baking tray. Then season with salt and pepper, turn the fish over and season once more. Then spoon the orange mix all over the fish. It is now ready to cook.

Step 7: Roast the fish

Place the baking tray into the centre of the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes.

To tell if your fish is cooked, take a knife and insert it into the slits. If it is all white it is ready.

Once cooked remove from the oven.

Step 9: Serve

Garnish with coriander and now it is ready to serve.

This dish goes with any type of potato.

Genuflecting Before Jiang Zemin

Jiang Qisheng, a former leader of the 1989 Tiananmen Square prodemocracy protests, has gone on trial for 'inciting the overthrow of state power.' He is charged with calling for the lighting of candles to com mem orate those killed in 1989."

The New York Times, October 28 "There are 3 billion people in Asia and 2 billion of them are in the MTV generation. That's who we're after."

Sumner Redstone of Viacom, owner of MTV and soon CBS, explaining why news organizations should not be unnecessarily offensive to foreign governments, in The New York Times, September 29

We rarely see America's corporate oligarchy gathered in public. Deals affecting us and the rest of the world are made behind closed boardroom doors or discussed in trade and industry publications most of us don't see.

But in September, Time Warner's Global Foruma celebration of the 50th anniversary of the ascension of China's Communist Party and a gathering of more than 300 of the world's foremost multinational capitalistswas held in Shanghai. The festivities continued in Beijing.

Among the guests honoring one of the most repressive regimes on earth were America's lords of the pressa term coined by the greatest press critic in American history, the late George Seldes.

In preparation for the fawning tribute to the totalitarian rulers of China, martial law was declared in half of Beijingto make sure that the hundreds of thousands cheering in the streets included only those cleared by the government. Furthermore, as Seth Faison reported in the October 1 New York Times, "The authorities ordered shut every window facing Beijing's main avenue, and blocked some residents from leaving their homes for two days." And, of course, Big Brother kept close watch on the dissidents who had not been arrested beforehand.

This brazen display of tyranny included the banning of Time magazine's commemorative issue, "China's Amazing Half Century," just before the conference began. Breathing in the stifling air were Sumner Redstone; John Welch of General Electric (which owns NBC); the boss of Bertelsmann (owner of the Random House stable of book publishers); and the heads of America Online, Yahoo!, et al. Cushioned by the bottom line, they genuflected before President Jiang Zemin.

These owners of much of the U.S.'s free press toasted the government thatas Cynthia Cotts reported in the October 12 Voicehustled thousands of migrant workers off to detention camps before the Time Warner forum and then told newspaper editors precisely what to write about it. Said one editor: "There was no discussion, no variation, no room to change anything" in covering the resplendent celebration.

As icing on the birthday cake, 34 prisoners were summarily executedwithout any trace of actual due process. In the months before the Chinese politburo's 50th anniversary, the governmentnotes Amnesty Internationalhad "turned the clock backward."

Yet the Clinton administration, Time Warner, and all the chronically greedy global capitalists who came for the birthday party keep assuring us that "constructive engagement" and free trade will eventually, inevitably, bring freedom to the Chinese people. In a recent conversation with me, Xiao Qiang, executive director of the New Yorkbased Human Rights in China, pointed out that every time Clinton has practiced "constructive engagement" by pushing trade with China or removing pressure for action on human rights, repression in China has increased as a result.

Of all American journalists, Abe Rosenthallately fired by Pinch Sulzberger after 56 years with The New York Timesmost persistently exposed the barbarous cruelty of the Chinese government. At the end of his September 17 column, "Partying in China," he quoted California member of Congress Nancy Pelosi, who has vigorously and angrily opposed Clinton's China policy. She said:

"The spectacle of the U.S. CEOs kowtowing to the Chinese Communist leaders is grotesque but not new.

"This time, however, when the CEOs stand in Tiananmen Square with the Beijing regime to 'celebrate' 50 years of killing and repression, they will have blood on the soles of their shoes."

Because, clearly, they have no souls.

For example, Gerald M. Levin, chairman of Time Warner, Inc.and the orchestrator of this disgusting obeisance to the bottom linemade sure that he would be the one to personally introduce President Jiang Zemin, calling him "my good friend." Andas reported by Seth Faison in the September 29 TimesLevin presented the boss of torturers with a bust of Abraham Lincoln.

Levinwho refused to meet with human rights representatives before the conferencetold the extremely important visitors in his caravan that Jiang is one of the few world leaders who can reel off the Gettysburg address from memory.

"Mr. Jiang," wrote Seth Faison, "beamed as his praises were sung by the Time Warner chairman."

Except for Abe Rosenthal, before he was banished by the Times, and human rights organizations that don't get much media space, the press has long underplayed the atrocities committed by Jiang and his government. Next week: the awful truth about China.

Rent Villa Laura of “Under the Tuscan Sun”

Kit Burns

Four years ago, I received a call from a favorite customer to say she had been offered a villa that was for sale near Cortona. She wondered if I might take a look at it on my next trip to Italy. I was just leaving for Tuscany, so I was able to visit almost immediately...and there the adventure began.

As I made my way through the brambles to the ancient, crumbling villa, I felt like I was stepping into a fairytale. The villa lay in ruins, but it was easy to see its marvelous potential. The location was fantastic, close enough to Cortona to be able to hike up into that beautiful hill town. And, perhaps best of all, this was the very villa that had been used in the filming of "Under the Tuscan Sun." I called my client from Italy and advised her to come right over and buy it — and she did!

For the past four years, the family that owns Cline Cellars Winery in Sonoma, California, has been lovingly and painstakingly renovating the villa and its accompanying farmhouse. Whenever I have been passing through the area, I've stopped by to take photos and see how the work was progressing. Finally, in June, the renovation was finished, and the family went to Italy to spend the summer. I visited them in late June to see the final results, and walked around the property with the owners, stars in all of our eyes.

Villa Laura is still a fairytale, and now you can join the adventure. Villa Laura is now available to rent through Doorways.

Watch the slide show to see Villa Laura start to finish.

Sean Costello – Sean Costello

Sean Costello

This is Sean’s first work for Tone Cool/Artemis, and while his past work was very good, he has matured to become one of the major young talents in R&B.
Sean’s past work also hinted at expanding beyond blues. And here we’ve got slices of soul that rank with the best of that genre’s history. Fans expecting large blasts of blues guitar and shuffles may be disappointed, but if you like to see how an artist can grow, step up.
Sean wrote a great number of the tunes, and his writing, playing, and vocals are at the top of his game. Check out the opener, “No Half-steppin’.” It’s got a hook big enough to drive a truck through. The Leslied guitar doubles a great horn line, and his solo is just right. Vocally, there’s great stuff on pretty much every cut; you’ll be amazed at the soul and sounds he manages to invest in each of these songs. Sean has always been a fine singer, but here he has taken it up a notch.
“I Get A Feeling” is the type of soul ballad that’s rarely heard anymore. Between the incredible solo and the vocal, it leaves you speechless. There’s an exquisite version of Bob Dylan’s “Simple Twist of Fate” with beautiful slide and a great feel. “She Changed My Mind” is the kind of soul heaven that would be on the radio if radio still had any sense. Sean’s perfect two-note guitar figure propels the song. The middle features a very nice stop-time segment with soulful bends. Top it off with the vocal, and you’re set.

Rosemary Littledale Rieser

Norwich, Vt. — Rosemary Littledale Rieser, 90, a resident of Norwich for 60 years who devoted her life to her family and community, died on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, at her home after a long illness.  She was surrounded by her children.

Rosemary was born in Newark, N.J. on Sept. 20, 1922, to Clara and Harold Littledale, both journalists.  Her mother, a New Englander, was the editor of Parents Magazine.  Her father, who had emigrated from Wales, reported for the New York Post and New York Times.

Rosemary inherited the progressive values of her parents.  After a time at the Dartington Hall School in England, she attended Goddard College and met her future husband, Leonard M. Rieser, Jr., during a year at the University of Chicago.  They were married on July 16, 1944, and a short time later Leonard, a physicist who had enlisted in the U.S. Army, was assigned to the Manhattan Project in New Mexico.  Rosemary ran the Los Alamos nursery school during what was one of the most memorable years of their lives.

It was while Leonard was a graduate student at Stanford University that their first son, Len, was born in 1948, followed by Timothy in 1952.  Later that year, after Leonard accepted a job as a physics instructor at Dartmouth College, Rosemary and he moved to Hanover, and the following year to the brick house on Main Street in Norwich, next to what is now the Norwich Historical Society.  Three years later daughter Abigail was born, and soon thereafter they bought the old white farm house and red barn at the corner of Elm Street and Hopson Road that would remain their home for the rest of their lives.

Over the next 30 years, while Leonard worked at Dartmouth, Rosemary put her family first.  As her son Len described it, “my mother told us that having had two professional parents who commuted to work in New York City, she wanted to be at home for her children.”  Her children remember her as an extraordinarily independent, selfless and principled woman who centered her life around her husband, children, friends and neighbors.

Rosemary was an accomplished gardener of flowers and vegetables, bread baker, apple sauce maker, expert knitter, and lover of books, animals and the outdoors.  She was known throughout Norwich for her daily walks around town with her dog, a constant fixture by her side, and over the years her home acquired a menagerie of beloved pets, from donkey to duck.

Rosemary dedicated many years to community service, as a justice of the peace who loved officiating at the wedding of her daughter and those of her children’s friends, as a volunteer at the Marion Cross School library, and with hospice, Planned Parenthood, and Meals on Wheels.  She was always caring for a friend or stranger in need.  As Heidi Johnston, a family friend from Hartland put it, “I will remember Rosemary as an amazing woman of endless warmth and compassion who made a point of befriending and helping others.”

In 1988, Rosemary and Leonard formally adopted Kenneth Willis, a classmate of Tim’s from the Putney School, who had been a part of their family since 1967.

Rosemary had no patience for the formalities and pretentions of academia.  When her spousal duties required attending Dartmouth functions and she was asked that inevitable question, “So what do you do?,” she was known to reply, “I’m a farmer.”

Later in life Rosemary’s love and attention shifted to her three granddaughters.  As her namesake Rose, age 22, said as Rosemary’s death approached, “she’s been the best grandmother in the world.”

Rosemary is survived by her brother, Harold Littledale; children, Len, Tim and Abby Rieser and Ken Willis; granddaughters, Hope and Rose Farley and Isabel Rieser Chang-Muy; cousin, Nancy Denov; and nieces and nephews.  An open house in Rosemary’s memory will be held at the Rieser home on Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Rosemary’s name to the Upper Valley Haven, the Alzheimer’s Association, or a charity of the donor’s choice.

Thanks to Volunteers, Elderly Can Age in Place

Thanks to Neighbors, Elderly Can Age in Placei
April 24, 2013 3:18 PM
In many countries around the world, families stay close. It’s routine for several generations to live together, with adult children caring for their aging parents. But in the United States, with children moving far from parents and grandparents for college or career, many senior citizens find themselves living alone. Moving to an assisted living facility is an option, but many seniors would rather stay independent, in their own home. Local governments and non-profit groups offer services to help them do that. Faiza Elmasry tells us about one of those volunteer organizations, which started as a neighborhood project in a suburb of Washington, D.C. Faith Lapidus narrates.
Thanks to Neighbors, Elderly Can Age in Place
Faiza Elmasry
Phyllis Ramberg, 85, lives alone in Hyattsville, Maryland, in the same house her parents lived in for many decades.

“Children keep asking me, ‘When are you going to move to one of those retirement villages?’ I say, ‘No, no. My friends are here, my church is close," Ramberg said. "I've got everything I need, right in this neighborhood.’”

A year ago, Ramberg was able to take care of her backyard; planting shrubs, pulling up weeds and raking leaves. This year, she just can’t do it herself.

“Things have changed somewhat," she said. "When illnesses happen, you just don’t have the capability that you thought you had before.”

That’s where “Aging in Place” comes in. The non-profit was founded two years ago to help seniors in the neighborhood with their daily needs. Founder Lisa Walker says she and her friends are among the seven percent of Hyattsville residents who are 65 or older.

“A number of my neighbors are also aound my age," Walker said. "We started talking about some of the concerns we had. Several of us had had issues with parents that were getting older and they were far away from them and didn’t know how to take care of them or get support.”

Seniors can call Walker's organization with a request, for example, asking for someone to shop for groceries, do small chores around the house or drive them to the doctor. Then a volunteer is assigned to provide the help.

“We have about 40 people that have signed up to be volunteers," Walker said. "About 30 of them have gone through background checks. If they’re driving, we check their motor vehicle records as well.”

Aging in Place volunteer Sally Middlebrooks says that a review of new volunteers’ driving record and any criminal history is just as important as the training they receive.

“We want the seniors, people we call neighbors, to be assured that they are with safe, reliable people who are also caring people,” Middlebrooks said.

Most of the calls are for rides to the doctor.

“They take me to all my medical appointments. Anytime I need something, I call them up," said Louise Battiste, who began using the group’s services last year. “Almost every week I have something, and they help me do what has to be done that I can’t do because I can’t see. I’m an old lady. I’m almost 90.”

The volunteers also reap some benefits.

“I’ve learned a lot about what I need to be thinking about myself in terms of staying connected to people, your family and friends," Walker said. "Do I stay close to them? Do I try to keep myself immersed in the community, relating to people younger than I am?”

“I’m learning a lot about this whole process of aging in my town and in my state and in my country," Middlebrooks said. "And I'm learning, to my alarm, that it's very difficult. But I’m also meeting people who astound me with their flexibility and their sense of humor and their ability to stay very much alive despite aches and pains.”

Not all Aging in Place volunteers are retired. Courtney Wattai, 24, is a graduate student at American University in Washington who studies caregiving and plans to have a career working with seniors.

“That’s kind of what I want to do because I want to make sure I’m able to improve their lives," Wattai said. "I want to be very involved in their lives, not just sitting at a desk doing things. I thought this would be a good way to give tribute to my grandparents and what they had done for me and my brother."

It makes Walker happy to see the younger generation stepping up. She hopes that’s how residents in her neighborhood will always care for each other.

Zimbabwe Shelves Cervical Cancer Vaccination Program

Tatenda Gumbo
Zimbabwe has been forced to shelf its cervical cancer vaccination program due to lack of funds.
Health Ministry officials told VOA Studio 7 that cash is needed to help acquire and distribute vaccines against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Health Minister Dr. Henry Madzorera said the ministry is currently applying to various donors for the necessary support to implement the program.
The program is part of the government’s efforts to vaccinate ordinary Zimbabweans against a variety of preventable killer diseases.
The virus is sexually acquired and can lead to infections and cervical cancer.
The HBV vaccination is given to young girls between the ages of 9 to 12 before they become sexually active. Women up to the age of 26 can also be given the vaccination – three doses over a period of six months.

The government recently also embarked on a major immunization campaign targeting young children under the age of five to prevent them from killer diseases such as measles.

Lee Robinson, Greg Fischer and Joe Kelly on Lee and Babs’ Terrace.

Lee and Babs Robinson had a cocktail party at their spectacular home overlooking the river to announce a partnership between the Lee W. Robinson Company and Kelley Construction. Robinson Kelley is a concierge residential company, a revolutionary new concept serving as a one-stop source for residential ground-up construction, renovation and design services.

The company is a result of the combined expertise of the two well-known businesses located here. The unique structure of Robinson Kelley allows each parent company to operate as a separate entity, keeping its core business intact. Licensed in 48 states, their specialties come together to provide boutique clients all-around service in their construction and design needs.

They offer preconstruction planning, onsite construction management, general contracting, exterior design and drafting, building info modeling, LEED certified “green building,” architectural renovation and interior design and eliminate the need for third party contractors.

Ed & Mary F. Glasscock, and Elizabeth and Ted Mitzlaff.

As a concierge residential renovation and construction company, additional services include: airport pick up, provided meals, state–of-the-art technology for remote access to job site status, personalized service with direct access to Lee; and an onsite supervisor. I think they will walk the dog for you and have the cat neutered, too!

Lee has a degree in economics and management with a minor in art from Centre College.

Originally he was a banker as both his and his wife’s families were in the banking business. Eventually Lee decided he wanted to go to the famed Parson School of Design and he studied at Christie’s.

He has been a finalist for Kentucky Entrepreneur of the Year, was one of Business First’s Fast Fifty in 2006 .(Did that have something to do with his age? Just kidding, Lee!)

In 2011 his firm was named the largest interior design firm in Jefferson County. He operates a second office at 5th Avenue & 57th Street in NYC.
