The Weekly Challenger turns 50!
Author TWC
BY LYN JOHNSON, Publisher
ST. PETERSBURG – Fifty years ago today, The Weekly Challenger came into existence. My father, Cleveland Johnson, Jr., borrowed $40 from a friend to keep a months-old publication alive called the Weekly Challenge after the owner M.C. Fountain passed away. He added an "r" and the rest is history.
In the mid-1960s, Johnson began working in advertising for Fountain's small publication called the Weekly Advertiser. He found that he had quite an aptitude for selling advertisement. Being a salesman was in his blood. His father was the first African-American realtor in Pinellas County and sold homes to many of the leaders in the black community from his office on the Deuces.
Although born in Thomasville, Ga., in 1927, he considered himself a St. Pete native, moving here with his parents in 1934. He attended Davis Elementary and Gibbs High School. My father always said he graduated from Gibbs, but the truth be told, he dropped out before his senior year.
Another truth, he had a learning disability. If he were to be diagnosed today, doctors would probably call it dyslexia. This is probably why he constantly played hooky starting in primary school, eventually giving up on the whole institution.
Before dropping out of high school, he got an older woman pregnant and my half-brother Bennie McCall was born. Later, he and Christine Childs sneaked off and got married behind their parent's back, and from that union produced my other half-brother Tyrone Johnson.
All this happened before he dropped out of high school, before he was drafted and discharged from the United States Army and before meeting and marrying my mother, Ethel Johnson, née Burnett, in 1958.
In the early years of their marriage, he jumped from job to job. He worked at a cafeteria in downtown St. Pete, sold dresses and jewelry out of the trunk of his car, opened a consignment shop and was even a pest control technician.
In the early 1960s, he found a friend and mentor in Fountain, who owned Fountain Printers on 16th Street South. He began selling advertisement for Fountain's Weekly Advertiser in 1964. Here is where my father found his calling.
The two worked so well together that when Charlie Mann, a coordinator for the Community Service Foundation in Largo, suggested that a newspaper be created that focused strictly on African-American news, Fountain and my father jumped at the offer for an interest-free loan from the foundation to get the ball rolling.
Unlike the Weekly Advertiser that ceased publication in 1966, the Weekly Challenge would feature actual news articles with St. Petersburg Times reporter Mamie Brown heading up the reporting. The first publication date was Sept. 21, 1967. It would have been printed at Fountain's print shop, but he was hospitalized the week before so the Dunedin Times printed the first 4,000 copies of the new publication.
Fountain never regained his health so my father completed the paperwork and paid the $40 fee to have the business put in his name. He successfully built a newspaper on spotlighting the positives in the black community.
Up until 1967, African Americans in Pinellas County were hard pressed to find positive and uplifting news about themselves. The St. Petersburg Times had the "Negro news page" in which they featured stories about weddings, clubs and schools, but other than that, African Americans made the news as criminals or oddities.
In a history written about the Times' first 100 years of existence, then deputy metropolitan editor Robert Hooker wrote: "The Times treated blacks like most American newspapers did: When it didn't ignore them altogether, it exaggerated their deficiencies. Occasionally in the late 1890s and early 1900s, the paper had a column of "colored news." It was short-lived, however. For the next 40 years, the city's black residents virtually disappeared from the paper, except when they were involved in crime. That was covered so thoroughly that the word "Negro" (usually not capitalized in a headline) became synonymous with "criminal."
Hooker wrote that the words "nigger," "darkies," or "burr heads" were often used. The only positive news about African Americans was relegated to the "Negro news page" that was only circulated in black neighborhoods. By the time 1967 rolled around and integration began to take hold, the page was discontinued.
"Black news now competed with the rest of the news, and an event that once warranted a few paragraphs on the Negro page rarely made the paper anymore," wrote Hooker.
The Weekly Challenger stepped in and filled the void. Instead of one page of positive news, the Challenger started off printing four to eight pages weekly, growing to a 32-page publication by the 1980s.
Never did you see a negative story about black people, and never will you see one. He always said, "If you want to read about black people doing something bad, pick up the St. Pete Times, but if you want to read about black people doing something positive, pick up a Challenger."
Black men must sell as well as buy or else remain a beggar race
That tagline remained on the front page of The Weekly Challenger until my father's death in 2001. That was his credo and he believed every word of it too.
He lent money to countless numbers of people in hopes that would become business owners. Many times he never saw a dime of that money returned, but he was aware of that going in.
In the early 1970s, my father met a young man by the name of Aaron Williams. He knew Williams had a sharp mind and should be in business for himself. In typical Cleveland Johnson fashion, he told Williams to "leave them damn niggas alone" at the economic development department of the city.
"I said, 'Well Cleve, I have nothing to … you know … for collateral.' He says, 'OK, I'll do $10,000 and you pay me back.'"
Little by little, Williams paid him back every penny, and his business, Suncoast Hair Care Center, still sits on 34th Street South almost 40 years later.
"I would go to him for counseling … this man had a knack that very few people had. I don't mean with a business degree, just a go-get-'em to maintain and sustain his business," said Williams, who took my father's creed to heart.
My father mentored Williams in a way that Fountain mentored him. He'd hang around the office and my father would put him to work. Williams shared a story I've heard all of my life.
Aaron Williams
"We went to get an ad from JCPenney's over in Tampa. They kept us waiting a long time. We sat there and finally somebody came out and said, 'Sorry, but we don't see how we can do business with you.' Cleve said to him, 'I'll tell you what, if I don't have an ad in my office by the time I get back there, I'll have 100 niggas in front of every JCPenney's you got, picketing.'"
Williams said my father walked out of that office just as confident as he walked in, and by the time the two of them got back to St. Pete, the advertising agency for JCPenny's had called.
One story Williams relayed that I had never heard before was about his side project called the Inflation Fighter. For reasons unknown to Williams, my father started up a free publication separate from The Weekly Challenger.
For about five years, the Inflation Fighter hit the streets with Williams' name on the masthead as editor-in-chief.
"We'd lay it out right there in that office like we laid out the Challenger. We'd take it to the printer, and then I'd throw them."
"I've survived 37 years following some of Cleve's advice," Williams said.
Lifelong friendships
Forty-five years ago, Mary Murph founded the Sickle Cell Disease Association St. Petersburg Chapter in response to the lack of information available. Considered a black person's disease, money was not readily made available for research or awareness.
This was unacceptable to Murph. Her two daughters had been diagnosed and she made it her life's mission to learn how to manage the disease and spread awareness.
She eventually appointed Martin Rainey as chairman of the organization in the early 1980s, and that is when he came in contact with my father. They struck up a deal that every time something noteworthy happened pertaining to the disease, it would be published.
Once my father became chairman of the Southeast Black Publishers Association, he arranged for Rainey to be placed on the agenda at one of their meetings. From that moment on, any news about sickle cell could be seen in papers all throughout the state of Florida.
Sickle cell awareness began to spread. Other Florida chapters popped up and by the end of Rainey's seven-year administration, 22 sickle cell foundations had come into existence from Pensacola to Key West.
"Your father was the catalyst for bringing sickle cell to the forefront in the state of Florida," Rainey said.
By working together to spread awareness of sickle cell, Rainey and my father became fast friends. They both shared a love of music and ended up sponsoring and promoting jazz jam sessions together.
My father lived for jazz. From a small child, I can remember listening daily to the collaboration of songs sung by Ella Fitzgerald with Duke Ellington and his orchestra in accompaniment. "Take the "A" Train," "Mood Indigo" and "It Don't Mean a Thing" became a part of my everyday soundtrack.
Rainey and the Downbeats were booked solid in venues throughout Pinellas County. My father enjoyed promoting the band, especially when his son Tyrone would pick up the saxophone or the flute and join in.
His love of music started at a very early age. He took private piano lessons here in St. Pete throughout the school year, and when his parents would follow the tourism industry to New York for jobs, his mother, Evie Johnson, née Rhodes, enrolled him in summer courses at The Julliard School.
A young Martin Rainey
He was trained classically at Julliard, but jazz was the only music he was interested in.
His love of jazz led him to team up with jazz great Al Downing and form a supergroup. With the exception of Rainey, all 18 members were band directors. For about five years, this group delighted audiences around Tampa Bay.
My father didn't perform with any of the bands, promoting them was good enough for him. He was just happy to be around the music.
"I mean, everywhere we went all you could hear was jazz. He played nothing but jazz on his radio," recalled Williams, who said he was first introduced to the genre by my father.
A sharp dressed man
Since I became publisher of The Weekly Challenger in 2012, I've had scads of people approach me to tell me about their experience with my father. There are always two common topics of conversation: his clothes and his Cadillacs.
He had a custom-made suit for any and every occasion, with shoes to match. My mother had to have a separate closet because his clothes and shoes overtook the master bedroom walk in.
"He walked around the corner in a canary yellow suit," laughed Harry Harvey, his friend of 30 years. "You don't find many dark-skinned men wearing yellow and look good."
Harvey became friends with my father in the early 1970s. He worked as a juvenile parole officer at an office down from The Weekly Challenger on Ninth Street (Martin Luther King Jr. Street).
"He would go and buy food and would come back and say, 'let's eat, let's eat.' I'd sit there and we'd eat and talk. I can get talking about that and get tears in my eyes because he made you feel like you were somebody," he recalled.
Harvey and my father both entered the Mr. Wonderful Contest sponsored by the St. Petersburg Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Neither one of them won.
"I was always messing with him about his dress," Harvey said, noting that my father would always talk it down.
That man spent more time in front of the mirror than anyone in the house, especially when a newly tailored suit arrived.
During the 1980s, his favorite tailor was Angres Chapman, who set up shop in downtown St. Petersburg in 1947. As a black man living in segregated St. Pete, Chapman became one of the first African Americans to set up business in the area.
After leaving the city for 29 years, Chapman returned and my father became one of his biggest clients and closes friends. Those flamboyant canary yellow and lime green suits all came from his shop.
My father loved clothes. As a young man, he sold women's clothing in Miami out of the trunk of his car. He did so well that the wholesale dealer he worked for told him if he'd been a white man, he'd be rich.
When he moved back to St. Pete, he'd still make Miami runs to pick up the latest fashions and continued selling them out of his trunk. In the 70s and 80s, during the height of the newspaper, he continued to sell clothes, costume jewelry and even opened a wig shop. He was really into fashion.
He was also really into his Cadillacs. He bought his first used Cadillac in the late 1950s.
"He told me," said Williams, 'my first Cadillac, boy, I had to tie the door with a clothes hanger, but it was a Cadillac.'"
My mother remembers those days when he would ride in on fumes to the gas station and only have 50 cents to put in the tank.
"Boy, I could just put enough gas in there to get to the next gas station sometimes," he told Williams.
Every other year, he upgraded to a barely used car until he bought his first brand spanking new Cadillac in 1977.
During the process of writing this article, I found out that I'm actually a distant cousin of Murph. She and my father are second cousins. So I asked her for a funny story and she delivered.
When Murph went into labor with her oldest daughter, her husband, Amuel Murph, was overseas in the army. My father was the only one around with a car. He wasn't about to let her give birth in his car, so he went speeding through the streets of St. Pete.
"He was trying to hurry up and get me out of there," laughed Murph.
Many of his former employees have retired, moved away or passed on. His office manager and right hand Cynthia Armstrong passed away in 2002, advertising guru William Blackshear retired and left the area and political genius and ad man Lonnie Donaldson also passed away.
There are still a few around such as Jeanie Blue, who helped me tremendously when I took over in 2012. Harrison Nash kept his role as circulation manager until he fell ill, columnist Deanie Victor, reporter turned general manager Dianne Speights and columnist Frances Pinckney are a few still in the area.
Frances Pinckney
Pinckney wrote for the paper for more than 40 years. During that time she had several columns. His one stipulation was for his writers not to offend, especially not the advertisers.
And that is exactly what Pinckney did. She wrote a piece on an article written in a Catholic newspaper that she felt was bias. Being Catholic herself, her pastor wrote a letter to my father.
"I had to write a letter, kind of an apology. It didn't turn out to be an apology, though," Pinckney said.
"He called and told me, 'Well, Frances,' he said, 'your letter was worse than the column.'"
As it turns out, her pastor was on the board of directors at Mass Brothers, a high-end retail store comparable to Dillard's, and her letter caused a stir.
"I got laid off for a while. I had to lay low, and I understood…," she said.
Reporter Winnie Foster, on the other hand, was not as understanding. My father told her to kill a story she'd been working on about how the city was not following federal law in their hiring practices.
According to Foster, "three white men in suits" visited my father and told him the city's legal advertisement would be pulled if they went ahead with the story.
Foster refused to back down and quit.
The legacy continues
My father always had a menthol cigarette in his hand. Even when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, he continued to smoke. He passed away July 29, 2001, 11 days before his 74th birthday. His funeral was held at Mt. Zion Progressive Baptist Church where Rev. Louis Murphy Sr. tends his flock. His old friend Pastor Rainey officiated over the service.
He left behind to cherish his memory, his wife Ethel Johnson; daughters Wanda, Lyn and Sakia Johnson. Sons Bennie McCall and Cyrille Johnson; granddaughters Traci Mayes and Keirsten Johnson and grandson Tyrone Cleveland Johnson, Jr. Son Tyrone Cleveland Johnson, Sr. proceeded him in death.
My father also left behind a legacy of community empowerment and entrepreneurship. He was known not only for his business acumen but also for his generosity. He contributed regularly to scholarship funds, gave interest-free loans and many times he gave knowing he would never see a dime in return.
He often gave paper routes to youngsters and made it a stipulation that they helped buy their own school clothes. One such former paperboy is now Senator Darryl Rouson. My father influenced generations of people, and his legacy continues.

AI100 fund firms: power balance shifting to Asia
AsianInvestor's latest list of the 100 biggest fund houses by Asia-Pacific-sourced AUM finds homegrown firms are growing, while global players' regional share has shrunk for the first time.
Perhaps the most telling finding from AsianInvestor's new list of the 100 largest fund houses by assets sourced from Asia Pacific is this: homegrown firms – particularly those in China – are getting bigger, while their global peers have seen their regional share decline.
Our findings for 2016 (based mainly on September 2014 to September 2015 data) showed a slim 2.4% year-on-year growth in assets under management sourced from the region. That represents a drop from the previous year, when overall AUM grew 6.75%.
AsianInvestor's top 100: Key findings
Top 100 Asia-Pacific-sourced assets, year-on-year change: +2.41%
Size of global firms' Apac-sourced assets relative to their global assets: 10.38%
Global firms' Asia Pacific-sourced assets, YoY change: -3.14%
Asia-based firms' assets. YoY change: +28.89%
Japanese firms' assets, YoY change: -8.75%
Australian firms' assets, YoY change: -15.22%
That the overall figure grew at all was entirely due to Asia-based firms, which saw regional AUM surge 29% year-on-year, more than double the 13% rise of the previous year.
It appears the balance of power is shifting. In AsianInvestor's top 100 list last year, 15 global firms graced our top 20 by Asia-Pacific-sourced AUM. This year there are 10.
Moreover, global firms' Asia-Pacific-sourced assets fell -3.14% year-on-year, the first time they have witnessed a decline since we began these annual rankings. They grew 6.8% in 2014, 12.7% in 2013 and 1.8% in 2012.
Global firms' average share of Asia-Pacific-sourced assets relative to global assets dropped slightly this year to 10.4%, versus 10.6% the previous year.
Clearly, then, Asian investors have been withdrawing money from global managers while increasing their allocations with homegrown players. Asian money has become stickier with local managers, after the global flight from EM in the second half of last year.
Strikingly, of the 20 fastest growing fund houses on our 2016 list, 18 are Chinese and all but one is based in Asia. Of the global players, only Axa Investment Managers appears among the 20 fastest growing firms, posting a 29% increase.
By contrast, among the 20 firms that saw the biggest drop in regional assets, 11 were global, four were Japan-based, four were Australia-based and only one was based in Asia (ex-Japan or Australia): Thailand's Krung Thai Asset Management.
The largest drop in percentage terms came from Aberdeen Asset Management, which saw its Asia-Pacific-sourced assets sink 31% to $27.1 billion. Aversion to emerging markets will have hit its holdings amid a slump in commodity prices, a slowdown in China's economic growth and a strengthening US dollar.
The biggest decline in absolute size terms was that of State Street Global Advisors, which saw its Asia-Pacific AUM drop $60 billion. It was followed by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank (-$44.4 billion), Mizuho Trust & Banking (-$34.8 billion), Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking (-$28.4 billion) and Pimco (-$26.3 billion).
Overall Japanese firms' Asia-Pacific-sourced assets fell -8.75% year-on-year, while those of Australian firms sank 15.2%. Both countries have seen their domestic currencies weaken against the dollar, which will have had an impact.
The full list of the largest managers by Asia-Pacific-sourced assets will appear in AsianInvestor's March 2016 magazine issue. We will break out sections of the list over the coming weeks online.

... a city chick and country girl with one foot by the ocean and the other firmly placed on the ground (or deep in the soil to be precise!).
I live in central Stockholm, work in an office all day and dream of more time to be creative and more time to spend in the open air.
I like to sew. I also like to yoga, eat yummy food and spend time in nature.
And about everything else, come to think of it!
If you don't use Spotify Social yet, but Spotify, this is my favourite playlist (this year)!
Tiens, on est le premier avril!
the fabled needle: an art, craft and sewing blog!
Knitting Crochet Sewing Crafts Patterns and Ideas!
This was a bit of an experiment. But I like the result, as simple as it is.
After making 5 pieces of clothing from my new aquisition "drape drape 2" (that I love), out of which 2 were easy, one was reasonable, one was a bit of a challenge and one almost impossible to figure out the construction of, I needed something uncomplicated!
I wanted to try to make as simple as possible a pattern for a jersey shirt, to see how it would fit/hang on the body. The result is a very 1980's, very relaxed but quite versatile t-shirt.
Sorry about the silly hairdo, but I got overwhelmed with a sudden urge to make an assymetric do as I tried the shirt on! Must be a side-effect from growing up in the 80's...(nostalgia is a powerful force)!
The pattern is basically a square, 60x60cm's, with a 30 cm long neck opening and 20cm long sleeve openings. The neckline is lowered 2,5cm's in the front and 1,5 cm's in the back to make it more comfortable. Click on the picture to see a larger version of the diagram!
If you want to make one, you can either make a pattern first, or cut the fabric straight away.
When you cut the material, make sure the greatest direction of stretch is across the chest (it should stretch more horizontally than vertically when worn).
Time to sew. First sew the shoulder- and side-seams.
Then fold the edges on the sleeve- and neck-openings and topstitch from the right side of the fabric, etiher with a twin needle (on an ordinary sewing machine), or with a cover stitch if you've got a coverstitch machine or a convertible overlocker.
I reinforced the neckline (because of the direction of stretch that makes the neckline stretch more than the sleeve openings) with a strip of fabric (f.ex. the selvage) cut along the ribbing of the fabric, to make it as non-stretchy as possible, that I put underneath the folded edge. I cut it the same width as the fabric I folded around the neckline and a couple of centimeters shorter (I stretched the ribbon a bit to keep the neckline neat and not stretched out).
Wow, you've been active! Looks cute!
Wow! You are so productive these days! Great shirt.
Really like it. Thank you so much.
Do you think this would work with a non-stretchy material, such as a cotton blend?

Do You Know What Your Learners Really Know?
By Indre Kurkulyte
The first multiple-choice test was given more than a hundred years ago. Are you still rocking the same vibes Frederick J. Kelly was putting out in 1914? If so, it might be time to level up your game.
#ButIUseTheseAllTheTime
Multiple-choice quizzes are the path of least resistance: they are relatively easy and cheap to create and administer. But they're also notoriously easy to game and are more effective measures of one's ability to take a test than anything else. (They also fail to promote comprehensive understanding8 and increase opportunities for cheating1—and even guessing a random letter has a 25% chance of earning you a point.8
What are the alternatives to multiple-choice testing?
Another challenge of multiple-choice tests is that they are best suited to measuring lower-order skills like identification and recall; it's harder to use them to measure higher-order skills2 like a person's ability to apply, evaluate, or synthesize information. Luckily, we live in the 21st century so we can leverage the tools at our disposal to create much more robust and complicated measurements—we can conduct extensive and personalized oral examinations, we can take people through real-life scenarios and simulations, we can require long essays, and so much more, right?
How about a solution I can actually implement?
We get it: unfortunately, the best assessments are the most complicated/difficult/expensive to create, deploy, and evaluate…which brings us back to Frederick J. Kelly and ol'reliable: the cheap, easy, multiple-choice question. Lucky for you, CredSpark has put a 21st century spin on the multiple-choice question, and we have a way for you to gain deeper insights on participant knowledge that doesn't take any longer to score.
Whoa! What is this sorcery?
Our latest product innovation is Confidence-Based Scoring (sometimes called Certainty Based Scoring). Confidence-Based Scoring takes into account not just the answer to the question, but also the participant's confidence in their answer. In other words, it's a game changer: it provides you with the metacognitive insight that standard multiple-choice questions are missing, and it doesn't require additional time or effort to include or to evaluate.
With Confidence-Based Scoring, you can increase the likelihood of a participant assessing their confidence honestly by weighting their resultant score: Confidence-Based Scoring rewards confident and correct scores while deducting points for incorrect but confident answer choices.
Students show that multiple-choice tests, used with confidence-based questions, provide a more extensive measure of the end user's knowledge, help to identify topics in which learners are not just incorrect but misinformed, and help the learner retain information.7 Best of all? Learners actually like it!8
Can confidence-based scoring add value to my training and learning programs?
You should use Confidence-Based Scoring if the end user's mastery of a topic is especially important to you. People tend to be overconfident in their knowledge and with confidence-based scoring you can help to overcome this bias while at the same time ensuring you and the learner are on the same page about what they really do know…and what they need to learn.

12/17/11 - Santa Claus spent the entire day handing out presents to children all over Fanwood with the assistance of the Fire Department, Police Department and Rescue Squad. Photos of this special day are provided below.
12/16/11 - 12/18/11 - The Fanwood Fire Department responded to three separate Mutual Aid requests in Plainfield over the weekend.
11/23/11 - At approximately 12:30 am, Engine 8 responded to a 4-Alarm apartment building fire on Elm Avenue in Rahway. Our four man crew attacked the fire from the roof of the adjacent building until it was deemed under control. Photos of the incident are shown below.
10/19/11 - Due to strong winds, electrical wires fell on Chetwood Terrace and started a fire near a parked vehicle in the street. The fire was extinguished once the utility company shut down the power. A few short videos of the incident are provided below.
The New Jersey Union County Fire Chief's hosted a Memorial display at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside during the entire weekend of September 11, 2011 to honor the 343 New York City Firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11/01. This Memorial displayed 343 American flags, one for each FDNY firefighter who perished that day. The Fanwood Fire Department was proud to sponsor one of the flags displayed at the Memorial.
Congratulations to Fanwood Firefighter Kristopher Piccola, who received an EMS Commendation from the Professional Firefighters Association of NJ. While on duty as a career FF/EMT with the North Plainfield Fire Department, he performed a life saving procedure on an 18 month old girl who wasn't breathing due to an airway obstruction.
9/13/11 - The Mayor and Council honored Fanwood's emergency responders for the work performed during Hurricane Irene. Click on the image to the left to view the Resolution.
8/28/11 - Hurricane Irene came roaring through our area and left us with dozens of downed trees and wires as well as flooded basements throughout town. The Fanwood Fire Department responded to our first call shortly after midnight, and by 10 pm later in the day we had reached over 100 calls.
Due to the shear scale of this storm, pursuant to the county's Office of Emergency Management, our primary focus was LIFE SAFETY. When appropriate, we assisted numerous residents with shutting down their gas and electric until the water in their basements could be removed. There was also a need to evacuate some residents due to trees that fell on their home and damaged the structure.
As many of you most likely heard, the strong winds resulted in transformer explosions. Electrical wires were knocked down onto homes and into the street. These wires pose an enormous risk to life. Just because a wire is on the ground and is not obviously arcing does NOT mean that it is not energized. Surprisingly, emergency service personnel found themselves having to tell people to stay away from these wires. Please be sure to strongly caution anyone you see to stay away from these extremely dangerous conditions!!
Residents who purchased generators seemed to fare better during the storm. The generators enabled them to maintain power to their sump pumps, refrigerators, and some lights. Any resident who utilizes a generator must be sure to operate them properly since they do emit carbon monoxide - Please be sure to read the owners manual and follow all instructions.
A few photos from after the strom are below.
8/9/11 - Len Zuchowski, a member of the department for over 50 years, was honored by the Borough Council for his service to Fanwood. As "Volunteer of the Month," Mayor Mahr presented him with a framed photograph of the Fanwood Train Station's Community House. 1st Assistant Chief John Piccola assisted the mayor in expressing everyone's gratitude.
Congratulations to former Fanwood firefighter Jason Lowrey, who was recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant with the Plainfield Fire Department. As seen below on this page, Jason was on hand to celebrate when his friend and fellow Fanwood firefighter Doug Germinder was promoted to lieutenant in the same department.
8/5/11 - Union County Fire Mutual Aid dispatched an Engine Company from Fanwood to Roselle Fire Department's headquarters for a cover assignment due to a 4-Alarm structure fire on St. George's Avenue. We were soon thereafter redirected to the scene, where we provided assistance in extinguishing the blaze.

5/30/11 - Hundreds of Fanwood and Scotch Plains residents came out for the annual Memorial Day Parade. Thank you to everyone for showing your support to our members!
5/5/11 - Shortly after midnight, Union County Fire Mutual Aid requested Ladder 1 to the scene of what turned out to be a six-alarm blaze at Ferraro's Restaurant in downtown Westfield. Fanwood firefighters worked on the roof of the restaurant for the duration of the event, as seen in the photos below. The cause of the fire was deemed electrical by investigators.
5/3/11 - Our department had the opportunity to train with firefighters from Mountainside and Warren at the Union County Fire Academy. Safety officers from the Academy were present while evolutions involving fire suppression and search & rescue were conducted. Here are some photos prior to the "Live Burns" beginning.
4/23/11 - Fanwood's firefighters and their families, as well as residents of The Chelsea and the borough gathered for the annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. As always, the department is extremely grateful to The Chelsea for their generous support over the years. A great time was had by all!
3/18/11 - Congratulations to Fanwood firefighter Doug Germinder, who was recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant with the Plainfield Fire Department. Seen with Doug in this photo is Jason Lowrey, who was previously a firefighter in Fanwood.
3/12/11 - Engine 8 responded to the intersection of Terrill Road and Midway Avenue due to a head-on collision between two vehicles. One of the involved drivers was removed from his vehicle and transported to the hospital. The other driver refused medical attention at the scene.
3/5/11 - The Cub Scouts from Pack 4, Den 6 visited FFD's headquarters for a lesson on fire safety and a tour of Ladder 1. Fun was had by all! Their mission when leaving was to have a family meeting and develop an escape plan in the event of a fire at home, which we recommend to all families in our community. The scouts and their siblings did not leave empty handed – they all received plastic fire helmets, badges, magnets and pencils.
3/5/11 - Our department was invited to participate in a drill at an acquired structure in Watchung. Ladder 1 was used to access the roof where firefighters were able to train in various ventilation techniques. Our thanks to the Watchung Volunteer Fire Department for giving us the opportunity to hone our skills.
2/16/11 - Congratulations to FF Bruce Padulsky (on left, seen with Capt. Frank Dietl and FF Dave Zawodniak) for being honored by the Knights of Columbus for having the highest percentage of responses to calls in 2010! The ceremony was held at St. Bartholomew's Church. We also extend our congratulations to the other emergency service personnel from Fanwood and Scotch Plains who were honored that evening.
2/16/11 - Fanwood Firefighters responded to Plainfield in Ladder 1 for a four-alarm fire at an apartment complex on Front Street at approximately 1:45 a.m.
1/15/11 - A chimney fire caused a heavy smoke condition inside a residence on the 100 block of Russell Road. Responding fire units laddered the roof and utilized chimney flares in order to extinguish the blaze. A build up of creosote inside the chimney was the apparent cause. Residents are reminded to have an annual inspection/cleaning of their chimneys in order to avoid this type of occurrence. Photos of the scene are provided below.
1/8/11 - Fanwood firefighters responded to a report of a heavy smoke condition on the 100 block of Hunter Avenue on Saturday morning. The homeowner had been sleeping and was awoken by the smoke detectors. The cause appears to have been due to a malfunctioning of the furnace motor. The fire was quickly extinguished and was confined to the furnace area in the basement. Two Fanwood police officers and one firefighter were transported to the hospital by the Fanwood Rescue Squad due to smoke inhalation.

Dan Brereton is an artist/painter that many comic fans might not be aware of. He's worked for the big two as well as publishers that have long gone extinct. The majority of the work he does these days in commissions, sketch covers and work on his creator owned property, Nocturnals. one of my favorite comics Dan worked on was the Thrillkillers miniseries from DC. Another favorite is a mini series called GiantKiller, about a monster that hunts other monster in what was once the San Francisco Bay Area. If you love giant monsters and traditional painted art, you should check it out.
As I mentioned before, Dan is probably best known for his creator owned property Nocturnals, which started as a mini series as Malibu. Over the years Nocturnals stories have appeared briefly at several publishers, most recently as collections Dan has done through kickstarters.
Anyways, there was a host of Dan's images I could have used for this, but I ended up with this Big Barda image. I liked it because, A.) We haven't had a Big Barda image since the first installment, B.) Because I had never seen it before, it was done for a charity Auction. And ofcourse C.) There's clearly not enough Big Barda content here on the website… no really.
I wanted to try and find a Ms. Marvel image because I know there's lots of folks out there who are fans of the new version. Unfortunately I'm really not… after scrolling through images, I kinda got bored and this image caught my eye. So we have this Carol Danvers version of Ms. Marvel by artist Arturo Gutierrez instead.
tagged with Barda, Big, carol, Carol Danvers, danvers, marvel, ms marvel, ms.
Awesome stuff skot…I'm totally with u on there never being enuff Barda stuff!!!
It's strange, she's never really taken off as a character… i think once she makes a live action appearance on screen, that could all change very quickly.
Dam that Ms Marvel is sweet. Great job as always Skot!
yeah, it makes me miss when Carol was Ms Marvel, always loved the black outfit with the lighting bolt.
yeah, it does kinda look like an Artgerm cover now that you mention it.


2018 has essentially been the year of tourers and ADV-touring motorcycles. Yamaha already boasts of a comprehensive line-up of touring motorcycles. Strengthening their middleweight touring segment is the new 2019 Yamaha Tracer 700 GT.
The GT model features quite a number of additions over the base Tracer 700 model. These additions include a high touring screen, ergonomic changes in the seating and color-matched panniers. The fuel-tank can hold 17 litres of fuel which, considering the fuel efficiency, will give the Yamaha Tracer GT a respectable range.
Rest of the things are in line with the base Tracer 700 such as the chassis and the 689cc, 2-cylinder, crossplane engine. As told by Yamaha, the Tracer GT will deliver great long-distance riding comfort with compromising the handling and will offer the same agile and sporty ride.
The colors available are Phantom Blue, Tech Black or Nimbus Grey with red details.
kaustubh_vaze, krishna77 and RE "H" like this.
This would've been the prefect motorcycle to bring to India, to take on the mid range tourer market. But this is never coming here, right? Lokks smashing though.

High Point State Park
Want to feel like you're king of the world? Head up to New Jersey's highest point, the aptly named High Point State Park.
At 1,800 feet, the views from here of the Kittatinny Mountains are spectacular, but for a real bird's-eye view, climb the more than 200 stairs to the top of High Point Monument.
It's even more impressive when cool fall weather paints the area with crimson, gold and plum-colored leaves.
The park is also one of the most popular hiking spots in the state, with more than 50 miles of well-marked and maintained trails, not to mention portions of the famous Appalachian Trail.
With so many trails, there's something for every hiking skill level here. (Note that the entrances for the Appalachian Trail, located on Rts. 23 and 519, are marked with a cryptic "A.T.")
In winter, several trails in the north of the park offer snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on groomed trails (rentals are available). Mountain biking is also permitted on the trails.

There is a matcha flavored Kit Kat, which is a limited version only available in Kyoto.
Starbucks in Japan have a "Matcha Latte" just like the ones in North America. They also carry "Sakura Steamed Milk" and "Sakura Frappuccino" as spring specials. "Sakura" means "cherry blossom."I find it is very Japanese to see "Sakura Beverages" on the menu.

Koller: BC on PS3 "wont be returning"
Published on 20 Aug, 2009
Sony Computer Entertainment America's John Koller has told Ars that backwards compatibility on the PS3 won't be making a return anytime soon, be that with a new hardware SKU or in a firmware update.
"It's not coming back, so let me put that on the table," said Koller.
"It's not as big as a purchase intent driver as you may be hearing. We've got such a substantial lineup of titles on the PS3; most people are buying the PS3 for PS3 games. They've buying it for PS3 games and Blu-ray movies.
That won't be returning."
Consider that one put to bed.
Go though the link for more.
Thanks, spikeymike.

Abbotsbury Castle is an Iron Age hill fort in south west Dorset, England, situated on Wears Hill above the village of Abbotsbury, seven miles west of Dorchester and the famous hill fort at Maiden Castle.

It is situated on a high chalk hill overlooking the English Channel, and in its day was the front line of defence from invasion. The earthworks cover an area of about , of which about  are inside the ramparts.

The fort was occupied by the Celtic Durotriges tribe, but when the Romans invaded in AD 43, the second Augustian legion of Vespasian took the fort quickly with little struggle before moving on to Maiden Castle.  There is no evidence that the Romans settled at Abbotsbury Castle as they did at some other hill forts.

When will people start to realize that the spiritual realm is actually real and these people are calling on spirits who are looking to answer. It is very dangerous to mess around in that world like Alex is saying, i personally do not take any of that likely knowing what i know about the spiritual realm. They try so hard to get everyone to turn away from their birthrights because they fear what could happen. Humanity is destined to be free, but so few are willing to make the call.

A Chinese murder suspect who gained wide public sympathy died after a week on the run
Ou Jinzhong, who was accused of killing two neighbors and injuring three others in China's southern Fujian province, killed himself while resisting arrest on Monday, police in the city of Putian said in a statement on Monday evening.
Ou was sent to hospital and died despite emergency rescue efforts, the police statement added.
Over the past week, hundreds of police and other search crew members had been looking for Ou in the hills, where he fled after allegedly attacking his neighbors in a seaside village in Putian on Thursday.
Police and paramilitary forces eventually found him in a cave on Monday afternoon and rounded him up, according to the police statement.
Police said Ou, 55, attacked his neighbors with a knife amid a long-running land dispute, killing a 78-year-old man and his daughter-in-law. The man's wife, 34-year-old grandson and 9-year-old great grandson were also injured.
The manhunt gripped millions in China, many of whom openly hoped he would never be caught. The level of sympathy and support is highly unusual for an alleged killer in China, where murder is punishable by death.
In the absence of initial official information, Chinese media and the public used accounts of fellow villagers, Ou's past social media posts, and previous media reports to piece together an unofficial version of events that could have led to the killings.
Many believed Ou was an ordinary man pushed to the brink of despair over a years-long housing dispute. Public sympathy surged further after reports emerged that he had saved a young boy from drowning at sea three decades ago and rescued two dolphins that were nearly stranded in 2008.
For nearly five years, Ou and his family — including his 89-year-old mother — did not have a home, according to Ou's Weibo posts and Chinese media reports. Instead, they lived in a tiny tin shack in a seaside village in Putian city.
According to the posts, Ou was repeatedly prevented from building his own house due to land disputes with his neighbor. He said he sought help time and again from police, village officials, the government and the media, but the problem remained unresolved.
A village official told state-run newspaper the Beijing News that local cadres had tried to mediate, to no avail.
Many blamed Ou's apparent transition from savior to murder suspect on the ills that have long plagued China's local governance, from abuse of power to official inaction. Others see it as a reflection of the broader failure of the country's legal and bureaucratic system, exacerbated by a besieged free press and a crippled civil society.
As the murders gained public attention, Ou's account on microblogging site Weibo vanished, and the local government of Pinghai county issued a bounty for Ou, offering a higher amount of cash rewards for proof of his dead body than any information leading to his arrest — triggering further public outrage.
And on Monday evening, many were saddened by news of Ou's death.
"He hasn't enjoyed (the protection) of the law his whole life," said a top comment on Weibo. "This is the saddest news I've ever read," said another.
Others were said they were not convinced that Ou took his own life, and called for the police to release videos of the arrest (police in China are often required to record arrests and other law-enforcement activities with body-worn video cameras.)
"He killed himself immediately after he was found?" a comment said. "The public will not be so easily convinced."
How to get help: In the US, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. The International Association for Suicide Prevention and Befrienders Worldwide also provide contact information for crisis centers around the world.
