Logan Roberson Scores Pro Late Model Victory; Hubbard, Butler, Shelton, and Maxey Crowned 2022 Champions
Jamaica, VA – Logan Roberson of Waynesboro, VA, made his trip to Virginia Motor Speedway for some FASTRAK World Championship practice count, and in a big way. Roberson rocketed past Austin Hubbard of Bridgeville, DE, for the lead on lap 21 and then pulled away from the field to go on to grab the win in the Victory Lap Pro Late Model 30-lap feature. "It's always great to get a win here; we feel really good about our chances in the upcoming $50,000 to win FASTRAK World Championship in September," commented Roberson in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane. With his runner-up finish, Hubbard was crowned the 2022 Victory Lap Pro Late Model, his second at Virginia Motor Speedway. Austin Hubbard jumped to the lead on the drop of the green flag and looked to have the race with Trevor Collins close in second. By lap 10 Logan Roberson had moved into second and was closing on the leader. It looked like Hubbard would have enough to hold off Roberson that was until lap 21 when Roberson rocketed past for the lead out of turn 2. Once out front, Roberson pulled away from the field and went on to score the win by 4.995 seconds. Rounding out the top 5 were Hubbard, Ray Love Jr., Trevor Collins, and Nick Davis. In the Budweiser Modified 25-lap feature Joey Polevoy of Powhatan, VA, led flag to flag to score his second win of the season. Polevoy jumped to the lead on the drop of the green flag with Lance Grady in tow. On lap 3 point leader Chase Butler had a bit of a scare spinning to bring out the first caution of the race. On lap 12, Bret Hamilton would take second from Grady and set out to catch the leader. Polevoy would hold off Hamilton for the win. Rounding out the top 5 were Chase Butler, Lance Grady, and Brent Bordeaux. Rebounding from his lap four spin, Chase Butler of Mechanicsville, VA, was crowned the 2022 Budweiser Modified Champion for the second year in a row. Butler was the only driver in the modified division to finish in the top 5 in each race. Davis Lipscombe of Mechanicsville, VA, returned to the Truckin Thunder Sportsman division with one goal to pick up the win. The division's 2021 champion did just that, getting by Matt Meads of Elizabeth City, NC, on lap 10. With seven laps to go, Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA, had made his way back to the runner-up spot. With five laps to go, Shelton would try to get inside Lipscombe in turn 1, only to have Lipscombe use the high-side to his advantage to hold on to the top spot. Lipscombe would go on to take the win and keep Shelton from matching his perfect record set in 2021. Rounding out the top five were Shelton, Matt Meads, Adam Breeden, and James Givens. Shelton would be crowned the 2022 Truckin Thunder Champion finishing no worse than second during the 2022 season. It took Johnny Brooks of Aylett, VA, eight laps to work his way to the lead in the Collision One Limited Stock Car 20-lap feature from his sixth place starting position. Once out front, Brooks would go on to score his third win of the season. Brooks would get by Ryan Hutchens on lap 8 with an inside move out of turn 2. Brian Maxey would close in on the leader with laps winding down but would be involved in a caution ending his night. Brooks would go on to score the win over Ryan Hutchens, Cory Bradley, Jacob Buie, and Brandon Bowler. Brian Maxey of King George, VA, would be crowned the 2022 Collision One Limited Stock Car Champion. The next event for the speedway will be the $50,000 to win FASTRAK World Championship presented by Dealer Group USA, set for September 23-24, 2022.

Continued Tire Shortages Force Cancellation of FASTRAK World Championship
Jamaica, Virginia – With Hoosier's continued tire shortages and after exhausting all avenues available to get enough FT200 and FT400 tires to cover the number of cars expected to compete in the 2021 FASTRAK World Championship two-day event, officials at Virginia Motor Speedway and FASTRAK Racing have made the difficult decision to cancel the event for 2021. "I do appreciate VMS working with us during the struggle with tires. The World Championship is our biggest profit event of the entire season, and as badly as we hate to cancel it, what choice do we really have? Unfortunately, FT90's are not scheduled to be produced until October, so that doesn't do us much good for a World Championship this year. That being the case, we decided the thing to do is keep the tires they were making for us in inventory so they could be cured well and have tires to start next season with," commented FASTRAK Owner/Founder Stan Lester. Lester added, "I know people will suggest that we go to open tire. Well, that's a little hard to do since there is no compatible tire to the FT200, plus making every competitor have every tire compound of every crate spec tire would be a ridiculous amount of money and not all crate teams can afford that. It's an impossible situation to be in, but we don't manufacture tires, so it's completely out of our hands. The bottom line is this. If there are not enough tires in stock for every team to have three sets of tires, then we have to wait on supply and let it catch up." The decision to cancel this year's event is not an emotional decision; it has been based on actual facts that are business-related and that every track, Series, and sanction, asphalt and dirt, has been dealing with all year. Based on Hoosier's tire production schedule, the time of year they will be released, and the other events already scheduled late in the year, the event just did not have a place to go. "This decision did not come lightly. The track and the Series have worked for over a month now to see if we could rectify the tire issue in advance of the World Championship weekend. We have been in constant contact with Hoosier about the availability of the FASTRAK FT200 and FT400 tires and have not come up with enough tires for every competitor to have the same chance at getting tires. The FASTRAK World Championship has been our season-ending crown jewel for seven years, and it has been gaining the momentum in fan and competitor support that we have been working towards since the first World Championship at our speedway," commented Virginia Motor Speedway owner Bill Sawyer. All efforts now will be on the 2022 FASTRAK World Championship and more. Some exciting news will be released in the coming weeks, including new tracks, new classes, new sponsors, and, more importantly, doubling the amount to win for the 2022 World Championship.

100% Chance of Rain Forces Cancellation of $20,000 to win USA 100
Jamaica, Virginia – With the impending weather forecast calling for a 100% chance of rain, management of Virginia Motor Speedway, Ultimate Super Late Model Series, and FASTRAK Racing have made the difficult decision to cancel the August 7th $20,000 to win Ernie Shelton's USA 100. "The decision to cancel a race is the hardest thing we have to do as a promoter. But Mother Nature has forced a decision as we have too many drivers and fans coming from long distances. We don't want to cause them any unnecessary costs for fuel and hotel rooms", commented Virginia Motor owner Bill Sawyer. Sawyer added, "with over an inch of rain forecast and thunderstorms, it is the right decision for us to make with the information we have at our disposal." Forecast data from multiple weather companies conclude that 90-100% chance of rain and over an inch of rainfall. "Unfortunately, Mother Nature is once again forcing us to make a decision we didn't want to have to make. With the current forecast, this is the best decision for the teams, fans, and officials, all of whom are traveling considerable distances to attend the USA 100. Above all else, we must keep our fans and competitors in mind," commented FASTRAK International Companies Founder and President Stan Lester.

A major concern for these stakeholders is the lack of consultation with border communities when it comes to setting border policy. Another concern, and the purpose of the report, is that there is a prevailing false narrative about the border. This report aims to set the record straight while offering a vision for the future of the border and the rest of the U.S.
As the amendment process to the current immigration reform proposal in the Senate moves forward, it is the hope of those at the border that their voices will be heard in the debate. The report is a collection of those voices and offers an alternative to the aggressive expansion of the already-militarized border enforcement system. Instead we can choose to prioritize community security, development in border regions and the protection of human rights of all who live at the border.

Wren Jane Beacon Goes To War – Volume One – In The Beginning
Written by Douglas J Lindsay
Category: Authors Publications
Dunkirk 1940. The British Army is saved from annihilation by the Royal Navy and a myriad of small boats. But why is a girl there, driving a naval motor cutter to take troops to the ships lying off the beaches under constant bombardment?
"This was no place for a woman" is the Navy's official view of her presence, yet to Wren Jane Beacon it seemed a natural place to be. Joining the Wrens (the Women's Royal Naval Service) in October 1939, she had become their first experimental boat crew Wren and by May 1940, she was an expert in handling small boats.
A strong, determined and independently minded young lady, always at a bit of an angle to authority, her natural impulsiveness has taken her to Dunkirk; "to do her bit" and she succeeds brilliantly, despite direct orders not to go.
Wren Jane Beacon goes to War is about much more than her exploits at Dunkirk, however, central though they were to her development; the book tells the whole story of her coming of age under extreme conditions. Being a Wren would not have been her chosen path in life – a place at Oxford University was open to her, but the call of duty to serve her country in its grim fight for survival, overwhelms this. A tough choice in 1939 for a girl not yet out of her teens, but she makes an outstanding, if chequered, success of it.
At the beginning of World War Two, women still lived limited lives.
Without consciously trying to, Wren Jane Beacon is in the vanguard of young women striking out to new relationships with authority and the male of the species, while shaking the social order to its foundations. Not least, her independent approach to her sexuality is of a new order.
All this and more is to be found in this first novel in an exciting new series. Within the framework of a 'rattling good read', this is a portrait of life in historic changing times, set against a sweeping panorama of the War. It is a well told, well-researched and deeply-considered book about human relationships; the Royal Navy; and women's place in the world.
Availabale to buy as a paperback or as an ebook from Amazon.

Q: How to properly use dask's upload_file() to pass local code to workers I have functions in a local_code.py file that I would like to pass to workers through dask. I've seen answers to questions on here saying that this can be done using the upload_file() function, but I can't seem to get it working because I'm still getting a ModuleNotFoundError.
The relevant part of the code is as follows.
from dask.distributed import Client
from dask_jobqueue import SLURMCluster

from local_code import *
helper_file = '/absolute/path/to/local_code.py'

def main():
    with SLURMCluster(**slurm_params) as cluster:

        cluster.scale(n_workers)

        with Client(cluster) as client:
            client.upload_file(helper_file)
            mapping = client.map(myfunc, data)
            client.gather(mapping)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Note, myfunc is imported from local_code, and there's no error importing it to map. The function myfunc also depends on other functions that are defined in local_code.
With this code, I'm still getting this error
distributed.protocol.pickle - INFO - Failed to deserialize b'\x80\x04\x95+\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x8c\x11local_code\x94\x8c\x$
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gallagher.r/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/distributed/protocol/pickle.py", line 61, in loads
    return pickle.loads(x)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'local_code'

Using upload_file() seems so straightforward that I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I must have it in the wrong place or not be understanding correctly what is passed to it.
I'd appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if you need any other information or if there's anything else I can supply from the error file.

A: The upload_file method only uploads the file to the currently available workers.  If a worker arrives after you call upload_file then that worker won't have the provided file.
If your situation the easiest thing to do is probably to wait until all of the workers arrive before you call upload file
cluster.scale(n)
with Client(cluster) as client:
    client.wait_for_workers(n)
    client.upload_file(...)

A: Another option when you have workers going in/out is to use the Client.register_worker_callbacks to hook into whenever a new worker is registered/added. The one caveat is you will need to serialize your file(s) in the callback partial:
fname = ...
with open(fname, 'rb') as f:
  data = f.read()

client.register_worker_callbacks(
  setup=functools.partial(
    _worker_upload, data=data, fname=fname,
  )
)

def _worker_upload(dask_worker, *, data, fname):
  dask_worker.loop.add_callback(
    callback=dask_worker.upload_file,
    comm=None,  # not used
    filename=fname,
    data=data,
    load=True)

This will also upload the file the first time the callback is registered so you can avoid calling client.upload_file entirely.

I just installed Omni-Rig Version 2 since it has 4 radio support. I cannot seem to get 4 radio choices on the radio drop down menu in Log4OM. It only shows Rig 1 and Rig 2 but no Rig 3 and Rig 4.
Thanks for your response Terry.


After a bit of a vacation and a general slacking off we are back to projects around the place.
First off, staining the studio and conservatory. We got a great deal on shingle stain from a local painter. With the money we saved Scotty opted to rent the big machine instead of going up and down ladders- very good idea, but led to a 12 hour first day as we only had the beast for 24 hours.
I had not realized (not actually true) how discolored the shingles had become. I love the color of new cedar, so at construction, we applied only a shingle oil brew we concocted so the natural color would shine. 5 years into the future, I wish I had added color the first year.... live and learn..
Right after we finished the first wall I realized that we would have to repaint the trim too.
The building color reminds me of Forest Service buildings so I picked out a green color called Amazon Jungle for the trim and on my double doors a kind of adobe- orange color called Marmalade Glaze.


Know More about Selling Scrap Metals and How Much they would sell per Pound Scrap metals can be located almost anywhere we go, and the best part about it is that it can be sold for a good profit as well. Scrap metals are generally a type of metal that you can basically find on your home, including copper, steel, iron, and brass, which are types of metals that you can recycle and sell for a good profit. If you are in some crucial need of extra cash at this very moment then the approach of selling scrap metal is definitely one of the best ways to obtain that extra cash that you need. The best reason as to why this can be a good way to get some extra cash is because you would be able to easily find scrap metals all over your home property. Whether you look at your kitchen, bedroom, living room, garage, laundry room, attic, bathroom, or garden there will definitely be some scrap metals that you can find and recycle for a quick buck. There are actually a good number of individuals who are still throwing away all of their scrap metals on the garbage can instead of recycling them, which is definitely a huge waste. It is definitely ideal for you to consider recycling scrap metals instead of just discarding all of the materials that are made from metal, since you can actually earn a good amount of profit doing so instead of just throwing them out. A very good example of a common metal that can be find in garbage bins due to the notion of home owners simply throwing them out is copper, which is generally considered as the most profitable type of scrap metal to be sold in this current day and age. Copper can generally be found in almost every type of electronics, gadgets, wiring, appliances and computers that we have on our property. If ever you are going to recycle any of this types of materials, although they are mostly an amazing source of scrap metal already, the copper wires can become a separate payout as well. This is basically one of the reasons as to why you can find people taking out copper wires before selling them, and you should do the same as well, and start stockpiling them in your storage or something and only sell them if ever you already have a nice weight of copper wires on your arsenal.

Former Defence Secretary Victim Of 'A Game Of Politics'
The police said on Saturday that the disclosure of confidential information has not amounted to a criminal offence.
Gavin Williamson said he believes he was a victim of a "game of politics" when describing how he was treated over the leak of information from a top-secret meeting of the National Security Council.
The former defence secretary was sacked by the Prime Minister over the disclosure of information about Chinese tech company Huawei's involvement in the UK's 5G network.
Former Army Chief: Gavin Williamson Sacking A 'Personal Disaster'
He has denied any involvement and said it has been a "shabby and discredited witch hunt".
Mr Williamson has called for Theresa May to release details of the investigation "so everyone can make a judgement".
He has previously said he would welcome a criminal investigation as a way to clear his name, but the Metropolitan Police said the disclosure did not amount to a criminal offence.
"This whole affair hasn't been about trying to find the real culprit who leaked what was said at that meeting," Mr Williamson said, speaking to the Sunday Express.
"It has been a game of politics, it's been about settling scores and trying to prove the Prime Minister's political strength.
"The PM has spoken about compelling evidence. Well, I'd like to see it," he added.
He also accused Theresa May and Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill of badly mishandling the inquiry and called for a probe into it.
"With the Metropolitan Police not willing to do a criminal investigation it is clear a proper, full and impartial investigation needs to be conducted on this shabby and discredited witch hunt that has been so badly mishandled by both the Prime Minister and Mark Sedwill," he said.
Gavin Williamson says he wants to see the "compelling evidence" mentioned by the Prime Minister (Picture: PA).
Gavin Williamson: Exit For The Man With 'The Best Job In Government'
Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu of the Metropolitan police said he had spoken to the Cabinet Office regarding the nature of the material discussed in the meeting, but was "satisfied" that the details disclosed to the media did not "contain information that would breach the Official Secrets Act".
He said: "I have considered all the information available to me and I have taken legal advice.
"I am satisfied that the disclosure did not amount to a criminal offence, either under the Official Secrets Act or Misconduct in a Public Office. No crime has been committed and this is not a matter for the police."
Leaked reports of a meeting of the National Security Council last month suggested that Theresa May had cleared Huawei to be involved in "non-core" elements of the 5G network, such as antennae.
According to reports in the Daily Telegraph, Mrs May overruled five ministers who expressed concern that the company's involvement might provide a route for Chinese spying and undermine allies' confidence in the security of UK communications.
In Full: The Letter Sent To Gavin Williamson Sacking Him As Defence Secretary
Mr Williamson had been defence secretary since November 2017 (Picture: MOD).
Why Theresa May Sacked Gavin Williamson
Gavin Williamson was later sacked as defence secretary after the Prime Minister said there was "compelling evidence" he was behind the leak - something he denies.
In a statement, Mr Basu, head of the Met's Specialist Operations, added: "Any organisation has the right to conduct an internal investigation into conduct in the workplace. It is not a matter for the police unless a crime is alleged.
"No crime has been alleged by the owner of the material and I am clear that the leak did not cause damage to the public interest at a level at which it would be necessary to engage misconduct in a public office. It would be inappropriate to carry out a police investigation in these circumstances."
Opposition parties had called on Mrs May to refer the matter to the police for a criminal investigation, after the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said Scotland Yard would not launch an inquiry unless the case is referred to them by the Government.
It was understood the information leaked from the meeting was not judged by the Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill to be of a classification level that would require a criminal investigation.

WASHINGTON – Turkey is currently host to the largest community of displaced Syrians in the region. Adding to the challenge, the rising refugee inflows have occurred even as Turkey was in the midst of overhauling its asylum and reception system to meet international, and particularly European Union, standards.
The country, which according to United Nations estimates had more than 1.7 million Syrian refugees as of March, has largely shouldered the burden on its own—spending $5 billion as of early 2015, with just 3 percent coming from international community contributions.
A new report from the Migration Policy Institute's Transatlantic Council on Migration, Syrian Refugees in Turkey: The Long Road Ahead, by Ahmet İçduygu, dean of the College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Koç University in Istanbul, examines the policies and conditions of Syrian refugees, as well as the implementation of reforms to Turkey's migration law. With growing dispersion and movement of Syrian refugees through Turkey to other countries, mainly in Europe, Turkey's experience and policies towards the arrivals have implications for the broader region.
As the numbers of Syrians overwhelmed the capacity of camps funded and managed by the Turkish state and NGOs, refugees started taking shelter in towns and cities throughout the country. Many struggle to access adequate housing and services, and are forced to find work in the informal economy, often for extremely low wages. The Turkish public, meanwhile, is expressing increased concern about the high numbers of Syrians and there is a growing sense that the newcomers are driving up housing costs and competing with Turks for jobs.
Turkish reception policies were predicated on the assumption that the Syrian conflict would come to a swift conclusion, allowing the displaced Syrians to return home. And indeed, under Turkish law, asylum rights are extended only to Europeans, making Syrians temporary guests, not refugees. As the conflict stretches into its fifth year, however, it has become clear that a shift in policy to encompass longer-term solutions is needed.
The report is the third in a seven-part series that draws from a recent Council meeting, "Refitting the Global Protection System to Meet the Challenges of Modern Crises." Next week, MPI will publish two reports examining innovative approaches that have the potential to reinvigorate the protection regime and help refugees transition from dependence to self-sufficiency. Earlier reports can be read here.
The report can be downloaded at: www.migrationpolicy.org/research/syrian-refugees-turkey-long-road-ahead.

Doncaster waste bosses have said lorries regularly breaking down, a snow storm, new routes and IT systems all contributed to swathes of missed bin collections earlier this year.
Lee Garrett, Doncaster Council's lead officer on bins made the admissions to councillors at a scrutiny meeting.
The council awarded the £8.7 million a year contract to the French owned company back in March. SUEZ will be responsible for bin collections across Doncaster until 2026 with an option to extend until 2028.
New figures seen by councillors show missed bin collections from March to October 2017 and the same period in 2018 increased by 158 per cent from 6,031 to 15,557.
Mr Garrett said they expected 'teething problems' but 'weren't expecting' the Beast from the East which dumped huge amounts of snow across the UK.
"We would expect there to be teething problems due to new ways of working and new days of working. We've also had a new corporate IT system linking that with our own," he said.
"We expect that for any new contract and new re-route and that's what we've got.
"What we weren't expecting was the Beast from the East and that was the Wednesday before the contract started on the Monday which brought huge disruption for two weeks.
Finningley councillor Jane Cox said 'a lot' of Friday bin collections in her ward were done on a Saturday.
"For eight or nine weeks there was an awful lot of breakdowns and spent an awful lot of money with the contractor on new vehicles but they very susceptible to minor tweaks on hydraulics and like all new wagons – computers.
Tosh McDonald, councillor for Town Ward raised the figures from Doncaster Free Press' investigation on bin collections which found the council has received 58,000 reports in five years.
"The figures seemed astronomical and for each one it was a bad enough issue for someone to report it in the first place.
In response, Mr Garrett said: "There has been a marked improvement over the six months and we don't want any missed bins. The FOI was for five years which is around 31 million collections and SUEZ are at 99.9 per cent.
"It is at 0.1 per cent of misses – it is reasonable but we do expect better over these coming months and years.
"There will be some misses – everyone's human and there are things outside of people's control.
"However we know full well it's not pleasant and for people to take time out to make those complaints whether its on the phone or going online.

Each stage in the Saint Thomas' Episcopal School journey features an engaging and intellectually stimulating curriculum. We provide a strong academic foundation that prepares students for the rigors of higher education and a productive life beyond our campus.
The arts have always been an important element of the Saint Thomas' Episcopal School experience. From Kindergarten onwards, creative skills are nurtured and explored through arts that extend from our Scottish Arts program to visual art, our theatre program to choir, orchestra and private music lessons.
Saint Thomas' Episcopal School Saints develop leadership skills both on and off the field. We hold our student athletes to our team values of character, commitment, and community.
Through our Advancement Office, we offer many ways for parents, alumni, and friends to make a gift to the school and many opportunities to make a difference for our students, today and tomorrow.
Through the Saint Thomas' Episcopal School Alumni Association, we focus on preserving our legacy and provide ways to support our community, and school, for life.
Saint Thomas's Episcopal School Theatre Department and the Scottish Players present The Liar, a French comedy by Corneille, adapted for the modern stage by David Ives.
Lovers, gossips, duels, jealousy, clowns, and of course, lies. The Liar is a feast for the eyes and a deluge for the ears in rhyming pentameter. With twists and turns, and a surprise ending, you will be swept away into a veritable fun house of comedy! Be careful — the street performers, known as Les Forains, are lurking around every corner...
About STE Theatre
The moment a student steps onto the stage of the Murray Center, they feel that magic which can only come from performing in live theatre. From the fall musical, to the spring play, to the talent show, to the senior showcase, each student is given opportunities to shine — onstage and off.
Students can earn membership in the International Thespian Troupe by working over 100 hours in service to the theatre, and they can also become part of the Scottish Players, a newly formed, student-run drama club. Students also can learn to build and paint sets, as well as develop team-building skills, by attending weekend stage crew hours with our resident set designer, Dr. Bob.
In class, students learn from Lauren Pastorek, a former New York City theatre actress, who currently directs, choreographs, teaches voice, and performs across Houston — most recently with TUTS, the Houston Symphony, and Houston Grand Opera.
Class offerings are Upper School Theatre, and Middle School, 4th, and 5th grade Oral Presentation. Miss Pastorek challenges students with advanced acting techniques, Shakespeare, devising theatre, and script writing. Classes also spend plenty of time playing improvisation games and contributing to the productions with set painting and lighting design.
Recent productions were the full-length musicals Oliver!, Mary Poppins, and Annie, the hilariously funny play, Noises Off, and The Liar, a new adaptation of a 17th century play by Corneille. This spring, STE will present Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
STE's production of Oliver! in 2016
STE's production of Noises Off in 2017
STE's production of Mary Poppins in 2017
STE's production of The Liar in 2018
STE's production of Annie in 2018
Support the STE Theatre Department
STE's production of The Liar has been accepted into the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. We need your support to make the trip to Scotland possible for our talented students.
In addition to performing for an international audience, our students will visit historical sites, watch the Edinburgh Tattoo, see a West End show in London, and much more. They will also earn college credit through the University of California - San Diego.

AMANDA – Amanda-Clearcreek coach Cary James took a chance by playing a triangle-and-two defense on the visiting Fairfield Christian Academy and it worked.
The Aces put their two best defenders on the Knights' Celeste Mershimer and Hope Custer, and basically dared the rest of the players to beat them. It worked.
After scoring 84 points Tuesday in a win against Berne Union, Amanda-Clearcreek's defense took control midway through the second quarter and the Knights never recovered as the Aces came away with a 51-43 nonconference win to knock off the previously unbeaten and state-ranked Knights.
The Aces' Alyssa Evans was also a huge factor as she finished with a game-high 23 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. If she wasn't beating the Knights' press and scoring, she was knifing through their defense and dishing off to a teammate for an easy basket.
Katelynn Connell was on the other end of most of Evans' passes and finished with 18 points and seven rebounds.
Evans said it came down to defense and who wanted it more.
"We had to keep a defensive mindset the whole game," said Evans, who is closing in on the school's all-time scoring record. We knew they were undefeated, but they haven't played the level of opponents that we have. We knew we had a chance to win and it was going to come down to who made plays and who hustled from start to finish.
James said the whole focus was keeping Mershimer and Custer, who combined to score 48 points in their last game, in check.
Custer finished with 13 points and Mershimer hit a 3-pointer to start the game, but that was it.
The Aces (12-6) were 20 of 40 from the field and outrebounded the Knights (16-1) 37-27. Fairfield Union was 16-for-59 (27 percent) from the field and just 6-of-29 from three-point range.
Amanda-Clearcreek turned the ball over 20 times, but the Knights couldn't take advantage. The Aces led 10-8 at the end of the first quarter and outscored Fairfield Christian 17-11 in the second quarter to take a 27-19 lead at halftime.
The key stretch came in the final three minutes of the first half when the Aces finished on a 13-5 run. Connell scored six points, Evans had five and Riley Stonenurner hit two free throws during that run.
The Aces held a 39-31 lead heading into the fourth quarter and built their lead to as much as 14 points (47-33) with 2:15 left. The Knights made a run, outscoring the Aces 10-2 to cut the deficit to 49-43 with a minute left, but they ran out of time. Evans sank a pair of free throws with 37 seconds left to stop the run and seal the deal.


I've never thought of my imagination and 'good' and 'bad' but yes, I feel the same as you. With me it is more the 'inner self' who sometimes tries to tell me I'm not capable of doing something. Fortunately, I try to tune that voice out and just give it a go! Have a lovely day and enjoyed your post. Congratulations on writing a book and love the name of your website.
Hi! Thanks so much for your supportive words. I guess it doesn't matter what we label our "inner voices" as long as they don't have too many arguments and ultimately agree to work together to bring out the best in us. Tuning out the negative stuff is a great choice.
I try to keep it busy with art and poetry. And listening to audio books, ironing, exercising at the gym. Sometimes I need to bore it or tire it out!
I know what you mean. Sometimes I have to let the "bad" side of my imagination talk and talk and talk until I'm not even listening to it anymore.
There is that point where you bore even yourself and then you know – I have gotten past that issue, whatever it is!
Yes, very hard to reign in but worth the effort for a good night's sleep. Just copy Scarlett O'Hara and think about that tomorrow.
OH yes! That tough lady really had it together! Great advice!
My mother-in-law was a "worst case scenario" kind of person. I decided that I wouldn't let myself be that kind of person as I aged. When those awful scenarios enter my thoughts, I remember how most of the situations and outcomes that mother feared simply did not come about, and then I let them go.
Isn't it funny how a person in your life who has a negative trait can actually be a positive force? If you hadn't watched your mother-in-law play out those awful scenarios, maybe you wouldn't have the foresight to avoid them in your own. Those kinds of things fascinate me.
uncanny, how you always hit the target for me. I am guilty as charged and am tired of all the new ways to be sick and dying, in the media daily! Surely every thing that hurts or aches means something horrible is going on! Goodness! I read recently about the lady who drank Dr Pepper every day and lived to 104! I bet she didn't have a clue it would kill her! I say cheers to her! hahah! great post!
That's encouraging about Dr. Pepper since I happen to love Coke Zero! Maybe if I keep drinking it I'll live to 150 because it's especially bad for you. And…I find watching the news terrifying enough, but the commercials in between the news stories put me over the edge.
I do watch a lot of old movies! I especially love old chick flicks. They're comforting.
God is not an imaginary friend. Who do you think is fueling your imagination!
I'm so glad you smiled and laughed! That's everything!
That's a beautiful and meaningful way to assure us all God is not an imaginary friend.
Boy can I relate to this! Imagination is a wonderful thing, and sparks the best creativity. It keeps us company when we are alone, and allows us to have more empathy for other people. But it can also sometimes run in the wrong direction, especially concerning our bodies as we age! Still, I think the good far outweighs the bad….
I agree. Finding a balance between the good and the bad imagination, for me, is sometimes a challenge. Part of life's journey.
My imagination usually stays on the bright side of life, fortunately. I figure that as long as I plan as best as I can, things will work out pretty well… and if they don't, I'll readjust my plans.
You're my hero and idol! LOL I'm going to try to stick with that mindset.
Another well-written post…or is that just my imagination? Just kidding!
I know that the wise ones advice that "being in the moment" is a sure path to serenity, but OI! A moment is all it takes to get the positive and negative in a heated battle of thumb-wrestling.
Better to let them work it out themselves, and turn to a long walk, or an hour or two with pen and paper–lets them run through me, rather than over me.
Agreed! When I try to be the peacemaker between the good and bad side of my imagination, I get anxious. And the two sides don't listen anyway. I'm glad you understand the process. I feel less alone!
Very good question. I am currently experiencing that same quandary. I have a very vivid imagination and it often runs wild causing me more stress than I'd like to admit. Example: I worry more about my kids now than when they were living at home. I think that is because I no longer have control over who, what, when where, why and how. Nowadays, I send a text and say something like, "Gee, I haven't heard from you, is everything alright?" Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks Dorinda. When the "bad side" of my imagination comes out, it feels like Darth Vader is invading my brain. Maybe I should try to appreciate him a little more.
I let that darn thing run with ideas…but then again, I'm kinda quirky. If I don't let imagination play, no one else will right? PS – my kids always tell me when I've gone too far ;-)! And, I love your book and your thoughts on this time in life, I can so relate to what you say!
I'm so happy you relate! It's easy to feel alone with this stuff.
Love this post. I admit, I'm a diet Coke lover. Hope to live to 100 years old. Cheers to you Cathi!
And cheeers to our Diet Coke! (Or in my case, Coke Zero).
So do I! Coffee gives me the jitters, but Coke Zero is perfect.
I drink so much diet Coke that one of my friend got me a necklace with a gold coke bottle.
Yes, it is! But the good part of imagination makes us creative, so what can we do?
Not much, it seems, except go with the flow and accept the bad one as well… 🙂 Have a lovely Sunday, Cathi!
Enjoy this beautiful day too, Sarah!
Ha ha! You'll be glad you did it when it's over.
WOW!! What a conversation! Goes deep! So what do I do not to blow up, thinking about all the pain and sicknesses and losses and death that lie ahead of me? Blow up or turn to ice? I dunno. I don't. But I'm thinking about my aunt who died at ninety-eight a few years ago. Her son – my cousin – died when she was ninety-two. She called me on the phone. Cried, of course, when she told me. We talked for a while, and we cried together, and at one point she wanted to tell me about a funny thing her son – my cousin – had said once. And she told me in such av funny way that I couldn't help myself. I laughed. And she laughed. And we both felt good having cried and laughed.
And what does this have to do with imagination. I dunno! But I always felt that her having access to her emotions – sadness as well as gladness – helped us a lot at that moment.
I don't know why either…but for some strange reason sadness does seem to be important. I agree. Thank you for sharing the story about your aunt and your cousin. I appreciated seeing the balance in nature and life in those moments.
Saying what I've said here is, of course, another way of telling you how much I appreciate this specific dialogue of yours. It opened up, as you've seen, some important thoughts and emotions to me. And this appreciation also applies to all of your dialogues. In various ways they serve me well in giving me associations I wouldn't otherwise have access to. So thank you so far! Thanks a lot!
And thank YOU for YOUR meaningful posts! Glad we're following each other!
Thanks! That means sooooo much to me.
Sometimes I'm able to rein in 'the voices' especially when they go off on a negative tangent, then there are times I simply marinate in their juice. I always enjoy your conversations.
Thank you so much! I just started following your blog. Nice to meet you!
I let myself know I don't have time for my "bad" imagination and try to fill up my time with positive thoughts and busyness. This works for me most of the time. Great post, BTW!
I know what you mean. Busyness really helps me, too. Otherwise, I can obsess with negative stuff and it's hard to pull myself out of it. It's the Darth Vader side of me. Thanks for your kind words!
I don't seem to have much problem with imagination. Mine is pretty creative, and I often give it as much reign as it wants, but it's little or no problem for me to distinguish between what's real and what's imaginary.
Hi Paul, I admire you for being able to give your imagination as much reign as it wants without having trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality. That's great and my goal! Thanks so much for sharing your perspective.
