client: trekkertime.com The Chaco Culture National Historical Park is located between Farmington? and Gallup? in the Four Corners area of northwestern New Mexico.
30 feet wide connecting all of their villages and aligning all of their dwellings to take advantage of the rising and setting of the sun and moon.
There are two or three ways to reach the park, and each route is paved until 15 to 30 miles from the park’s entrance. Those last miles are very rough, red dirt roads. The best route is from the north via Routes 550, 7900, and 7950. The 16 miles of gravel road is a pretty rough washboard, but is better than the other routes, according to one park ranger who shredded a tire on another route.
The Chacoans were very concerned about the physical shape of their villages, and they took great care to build each one in a similar fashion with a long rear wall, a plaza with several circular structures, and three to four stories of living quarters.
Chaco Canyon is a collection of ruins of “great houses” and villages built and inhabited by the Chacoan people between 800 and 1200 A.D. They were quite advanced in their knowledge of engineering, building thoroughfares
They built numerous perfectly circular stone structures, kivas, with roofs of timber supported by huge beams. These kivas are thought to be Chacoan worship sites. Each kiva features a unique, keyhole-shaped entry and most kivas were built below ground level, though some were elevated and enclosed in tower structures. One of the
piece: travel website copy (1 of several). largest excavated kivas is a communal kiva at Casa Rinconada. The park contains several of the ruins left by the Chacoans. Seven of these ruins are within a half mile of the paved “loop road� and four or five other sites can be reached by hiking into the back country but require a hiking pass from the visitor center. Many more ruins are located outside the park boundaries. When planning a visit to the park, be sure to stay for the sunset and stars. The park rangers hold night sky programs at the observatory on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in the summer. Join other park visitors and gaze through three telescopes pointed at the likes of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter and its four moons.
Chaco Canyon is also famous for being very dark, on account of the park’s dedication to preserving the night sky through its Night Sky Darkness Project. With no lights in the park other than those of an occasional vehicle, the sky is a veritable Milky Way display. The enormous number of stars visible in the darkness combined with the bigness of the sky creates awe-inspiring moments. Admission to the park is reasonable at $8 per vehicle for a seven-day period, or $4 per person for bikers and cyclists, also good for seven days. The visitor center includes artifacts found in the ruins and a small theater. The park contains a campground with 47 sites that are available on a first-come, firstserved basis. Each site costs $10 per night.
client: hiram college Division III Swimming Match-Up of the Year: Groselle vs Orstein HIRAM , OHIO — Next Saturday, January 29th, the Hiram College swimming and diving teams will host Washington and Jefferson College (PA) in a meet scheduled to start at 1PM . The meet features a match-up not often found in sports. Two top swimmers compete in the same two events. Both are record-holders for their schools in the two events. The older one is an NCAA National Champion. The younger one aspires to be a National Champion. Their fathers are their head coaches and have been friends for years. Two events in Saturday’s meet pit Hiram College junior Beth Groselle ( Hiram , OH /Crestwood), a six-time All-American in swimming, four-time conference champion, and the 2004 NCAC Swimmer of the Year, against W&J freshman Kaitlyn Orstein ( Mt. Lebanon , PA /Mt. Lebanon ). Groselle is the daughter of Hiram head coach Jack Groselle. Orstein, who just transferred from the University of Tennessee , is the daughter of W&J head coach Mike Orstein.
piece: media feature (1 of hundreds). The similarities continue. Groselle swims the 100 meter breaststroke and the 200 meter individual medley. So does Orstein. Groselle just broke her own record on January 15th in the breaststroke. Orstein clocked a new record in the breaststroke on the 15th at W&J. Groselle broke her own record in the 200 meter individual medley on the 15th. So did Orstein. Groselle was the 2004 NCAA Division III National Champion in the 100 meter breaststroke. Orstein just qualified for the NCAA “A” cut in that event last weekend. “Mike and I have been good friends for more than ten years,” said Hiram coach Jack Groselle. “We both think it’s a great thing that the two girls are going to swim against each other before Nationals.” The opportunity to watch two closely-matched swimmers compete in the same events, each coached by their fathers, promises to prove exciting.
client: candy rice piece: rumination on a coach. Forks in the Career Road So, what should be pursued? A way of life that is familiar and provides a certain amount of meaning in a traditionally noble setting? A way of life that is unfamiliar and could provide either much more or much less meaning in a traditionally corrupt setting?
and it has wound through many different places and adventures, andhe’s grateful for that. He loves the game despite it not repaying him with much in the way of monetary return or sustained happiness with his career.
The opportunity before the coach is one that is quite unexpected. Never has he dreamed of being a community college coach. Never has he wanted to work with athletes who are paid to play basketball.
The road less traveled lies through the forest of business. It beckons him with sultry offers of more money than he could ever make in higher ed, but the path crooks sharply and he can’t determine where it leads. What if he takes this path and allows the lure of money to corrupt him?
The alternative, though, at this point, is a sales job with a document services company. While the money sounds interesting and the promotional opportunities fantastic, the path forks in the woods, so to speak.
Thus the dilemma: • Safe equals coaching. Uncertain equals business. • Noble equals coaching. Corruption equals business.
The road much traveled is coaching. He has traveled this path for his entire adult life
How crazily these things get mixed up in our heads.
