Coordinated efforts
Juggling club looks for interested students

Damento juggling group member Brianne Crabtree concentrates on her pins. Joining the club requires no payment of dues.
Around 6 p.m. in Sacramento’s McKinley Park, Brianne Crabtree and Mike McCorkle arrive with their juggling equipment and unicycles.
The park is being transformed into a scene reminiscent of a circus sideshow as UC Davis’ juggling club, Damento, begins one of its informal biweekly practices.
McCorkle, a junior majoring in chemical engineering, gathers a small group of admiring children as he practices the Diabola — a Chinese children’s toy that balances a cone-shaped object on a string. McCorkle shows them the basics of the toy and then insists that the children try themselves.
“No one is competitive or secretive,” McCorkle said. “We are all very willing to share with one another.”
McCorkle and Crabtree, a fifth-year wildlife conservation and fish biology major and president of Damento, are the only UC Davis students in the group. However, the group, which gets its name by combining its home cities of Davis and Sacramento, is looking for new members.
According to Crabtree, last year the club had between five and six regular jugglers from UC Davis. Now with only two members in town, Damento is encouraging anyone who is interested to come out to a juggling session.
“There are no dues and we don’t take minutes,” Crabtree said. “We just meet and juggle.”
Crabtree and McCorkle both began juggling in high school, but insist that interested students do not need any experience because everyone in Damento is willing to teach beginners.
Although the club’s focus is on juggling, it is not exclusive to it. For McCorkle, his preference is Poi, two chains that attach to each hand and have wicks at the ends that dipped in gasoline and lit on fire.
He demonstrates how he dances with the unlit Poi, moving and spinning them in sync while bringing the wicks within inches of his face and body.
McCorkle downplays the danger involved in Poi and said that if the wick hits him it will typically bounce off and he will be unharmed. He does admit though, that if his hands get caught in the chains he could get badly burned.
Although Damento is an official club at UC Davis, it is not exclusive to students.
Chris Linstrum, who is in his early 50s, was introduced to Damento by a friend nearly three years ago. Linstrum joined without any prior juggling experience and is now hooked.
“I juggle every week [with Damento] and at home two to three times a week for a couple of hours,” Linstrum said.
Linstrum is not the only non-UC Davis member. There is a handful of jugglers and unicyclists in McKinley Park who were drawn to the friendly, laidback atmosphere of Damento.
The club is so informal that if people are passing through town or had previously lived in Davis, Crabtree said they are more than welcome to come by and join.
According to Crabtree, the importance of practicing, aside from learning new moves, is passing. Passing involves at least two people juggling in sync while they catch and throw clubs across to one another.
Despite all their techniques and tricks, the members insist that Damento is just for fun since the group does not do private shows or participate in competitions. Instead, the club hosted the sixth annual Damento Juggling Festival in February. The festival focused on learning new tricks, buying new props and making new friends.
The group hopes that it will have enough members this year to put together another festival.
Damento meets Tuesdays from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Davis’ Central Park and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Sacramento’s McKinley Park.

Weekend Shopper is the perfect forum for buying or selling your treasures – this weekend a teen thrillseeker wants to find a new home for his circus-style unicycle
Genius can be learned, earned or stolen but so few of us are born with it. Young Jack King is selling a unicycle he mastered on first sight but the lad has bigger fish to fry these days and one lucky Weekend Shopper can have Jack’s magic machine for just $250.
Along the way he has developed an entrepreneurial savvy akin to a Branson or Trump in his quest for newer toys.
As a result the circus bike has to go. “I’m only selling it to get money because I don’t use it much any more. I’ve had it about a year,” the 13-year-old says.
He found his balance straight away and off he charged over hill and dale without biting dust or concrete. “I can bunny-hop too; you hold on to the seat and you jump. It’s hard to do but I can go down gutters and stuff. It’s heavy duty,” says the daredevil teen.
Ever launched off your mum’s dining table? “Never,” chimes mother Jayne, not entirely convinced. Any maternal concerns were quashed by the child’s dexterity and dash. “He just seems to be very flexible; he has an Olympic trampoline as well he takes bikes on, the ones without wheels, and skateboards too.”
The teen weighs in: “I’ve had stilts as well and I bought a $1600 downhill mountain bike. It’s all fun trying new things. You have thin unicycles but you can’t do all this kind of stuff on them so I got a heavy duty one. I’ve gone downhill on it and made it in one piece. You pedal backwards so it slows you down. I got one of those electric bikes too but I sold that, a motorbike and my car.”
Your what? “Yeah, I had a Commodore. We live on an acreage and I bashed it around the yard then sold it to get some new stuff,” he says.
What next? Base jumping, big wave surfing or F1? “A Monaro would be good,” he deadpans.
Mum is quite impressed with his entrepreneurial abilities.
"What he usually does is start off with a trampoline, bike or a phone and then sells them to fund a newer toy; he sold his PlayStation 2 to get upgraded stuff.
“The money goes towards what he wants; new games for the PlayStation Portable or credit for his mobile. But he doesn’t do much work around the house. Now he really doesn’t have a use for his unicycle; there’s no point it just sitting around in a cupboard.”

Laurie’s got pedal power - but only one wheel

Talented Laurie Ley can entertain his friends just by riding to school - on his unicycle.
The seven-year-old’s one-wheeled steed gets him to Cherry Willingham Primary School every morning.
His dad Adrian Ley follows close behind for safety.
“At first I had to follow him really closely, because he was still a bit wobbly,” said Mr Ley.
"But now I can walk beside him and he is off.
"His friends are always saying to him, ‘that is so cool’.
"He’s been very eager to learn how to ride it.
“One or two of the teachers are also really impressed, and his form teacher, Mr Walker, is particularly encouraging.”
Mr Ley and his wife Sarah bought the unicycle for Laurie last year, but it was left in the garage because it was initially too big for him.
As soon as he could, Laurie took the bike out and practiced incessantly throughout the summer.
By the time the new term had arrived he was ready to show off his newly acquired talent to all his friends.
“It is really good fun,” said Laurie.
“My friends ride their bikes to school as well, but when I go past them on my cycle they all go ‘wow’.”
Headmaster Andrew Vasey was similarly enthusiastic.
“I think it’s wonderful,” he said.
"It is healthy and extremely individualistic. I think we’ve got an entertainer for the future here.
“Every time he stops on the unicycle everyone thinks he is going to fall off but he always somehow manages to land safely back on the ground.”
Even in lessons the young entertainer cannot bear to be parted from his beloved unicycle.
It’s too big for the bike-sheds so the cycle is usually parked in his classroom.
And this is not the first time that Laurie has enjoyed the limelight.
Adrian Ley works as a children’s entertainer and Laurie and his sister often find themselves on stage, helping their father with his show.
Now it looks like Laurie is hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps.
“I think he wants to join his dad when he is older,” said Mrs Ley.
“He can already juggle and he is now trying to learn to skip on his unicycle - which annoys his dad because even he hasn’t managed to do that yet. Now he has set his sights on learning how to tight-rope walk.”
Read carefully, this one tickles my fancy.
Tapping into history Bars keep old beer signs even when brew is long gone

PHOTOGRAPHS BY MIKE LEVY THE PLAIN DEALER The 1970s Stroh’s Beer sign over the bar is one of the most recent to hang in the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern.
The Erin Brew sign reads “Balanced for Taste” even though it hangs crooked over the Beachland bar.
The old Little Kings sign sparked so many requests for the brew that the Beachland’s Mark Leddy had to stock it.
AFTER DARK
The Bud bikini babes can prance about all they want. Mark Leddy still won’t let them strut through his doors.
The co-owner of the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern is more likely to cast his eyes upon a kooky clown. A flickering slice of yesteryear. A campy send-up.
Leddy, you see, is the King of Beer Signs. He has them all around the Beachland, 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland.
Some pay homage to long-gone local swill. Some to working-class standards like Pabst, Ballantine and Strohs. But they all have that something the Bud babes lack: a vintage charm.
“Old signs have personality,” says Leddy. “You can tell right away they have that old style.”
To some, old equals archaic.
“I’ve had beer distributors offer to give me new signs,” he says. “They think I just haven’t gotten around to updating. But the last thing I’d want is some cheaply made modern sign full of bimbos and jocks.”
You won’t find any here. Now, a clown on a unicycle is another story.
“Erin’s Brew what a cool sign,” says Leddy. “It was an old Cleveland beer.”
The plaque hangs over the bar, crooked even if it reads “Balanced for Taste.”
“That wasn’t intentional,” says Leddy. “Someone must’ve bumped it.”
Leddy, who started collecting beer signs 30 years ago, stepped up his quest for the ultimate cool beer sign when he opened the club in 2000.
“This bar was built in the 1940s,” says Leddy. “So I wanted the signs to convey that era.”
Little did he know patrons would start drinking as if they were from that era.
“They’ll come in and see the signs and order the beers,” he says. “The problem is, they don’t make a lot of them anymore.”
Leddy does serve some oldies, though: Strohs, Ballantine, Pabst.
And he vows to serve Erin Brew if the long-gone beer ever makes a comeback – even if the clown on the unicycle looks like he’s had one too many.
Bud babes can’t touch this
Bar land is overflowing with a sea of tacky bikini-clad beauts. But these joints are rare islands of old-fashioned beer style:
The Blue Grass Inn: Never heard of Country Club Malt Liquor? For good reason: The low-rent Pabst-family brew isn’t available in Ohio. But that hasn’t stopped this honky-tonk, at 1821 Denison Ave., Cleveland, from stocking a snazzy Country Club sign behind the bar. It’s right next to the vintage faux-Tiffany-glass Pabst and hot-red Genesee signs.
Willoughby Brewing Co.: This joint bills itself as Lake County’s first brewpub since Prohibition. Maybe, but it was also founded only seven years ago. Still, the watering hole, in a refurbished railway car parked at 4057 Erie St., boasts some odes to old-time drinking. Check out the Leisy’s banner, which celebrates the now-defunct Cleveland beer.
Der Braumeister: If the jolly ol’ beer-swilling Bavarian guy on the front door doesn’t put you in the mood, the beer signs sure will. The Old World-style bar and restaurant, at 13046 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, boasts walls and walls of vintage signs full of cheery madchens, burly guys in lederhosen and the kind of mountains and castles that make one say, “Welcome to Bavaria; now shut up and start drinking.” Prosit!
Verlie’s Cafe: The Verlie family has been running this West Side spot, at 3355 West 46th St., Cleveland, for more than 40 years. You can tell from the decor, a hodgepodge of vintage and homespun signs, posters and, yep, beer signs. The vintage Pabst sign is appropriate; folks have been drinking the stuff since before it became hip again. But what’s the deal with the Steel Reserve sign? Malt liquor, anyone?

WHAT is the sound of one-wheel mountain biking? Sometimes it’s an oops, followed by a thud. That’s because riding rocky trails, difficult on a regular bike, is a whole lot harder when balanced on a single wheel. Eyal Aharoni, a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara, found this out when he started riding his father’s unicycle on mountain bike trails. He thought he’d invented a new sport until a friend introduced him to others who ride trails on one wheel. Now Aharoni is helping organize the 10th annual California Mountain Unicycle Weekend. About 50 riders are expected to show up from across the country for the trail riding and trials competition in Santa Barbara, including world champion Kris Holm of Vancouver and unicycle video maker Dan Heaton. Rocky sections, roots and stream crossings will spice up the trail rides, says Aharoni. The cycles have a hydraulic brake but no gears, so the ride – down the five or six miles of trail, with a 3,000-foot drop – is grueling.
The trials competition tests riders’ ability to stay balanced while negotiating wooden ramps, bridges, stairs and a teeter-totter. The California Mountain Unicycle Weekend 2005 will be held Friday through Sunday at locations near Santa Barbara. The spectator-friendly trials competition is Saturday at Summerland Preserve in Summerland, starting at 2 p.m. For more information go to www.sbuni.org/2005cmw/ . Aharoni says the weekend is more about bringing together members of the tiny, scattered tribe of mountain unicyclists than it is about competition. Woo-hoo! Thud.

Funny stuff. My question is this: is Jagur taking on Apprentices? With all those transactions under his young belt, this kid would definitely qualify to spend some time at the feet of The Master.
Here in USA-today are teachers reported who receives each $2,500.-
Meg Greiner has a project called TEAM (Together Everyone Archives More). It involves unicycling and other circus-techniques. It goes not just from school, but it goes home and gets family moving. It’s targeted to young kids.
During the school-year there will appear a larger article on each teacher.

Nominated by: Gay Timken, university colleague
She: Created TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) time, in which the entire student body and staff convenes each morning to dance, stretch, sing and sign together for 20 minutes. Afterward, the group salutes the flag and recites an affirmation; Teaches 225 students in 10-11 classes a day, taking time to learn each child’s personality; Won grants to fund a climbing wall, exercise equipment, pedometers, unicycles and other circus arts equipment; Integrates special-education students into all classrooms, structuring lessons so each child can succeed: “Students come to understand that the people with whom they play are more important than the game itself,” says nominator Gay Timken; Has children experience cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness and loss of limbs through activities, videos and articles during National Disabilities Awareness Month; Has children reflect on their attitude, behavior and effort and rate their “level of responsibility” at the end of lessons; Uses pedometers to help children visualize accomplishment. Students graph their progress and check them out to take home and teach families. “So it goes not just from school, but it goes home and gets family moving, which is what we want to do,” Greiner says.

Wayne, Beverly Kinzie to Lead Northwestern Homecoming Parade
10/13/05
Email this story to a friend

… PHOTO1: Wayne and Beverly Kinzie are the honorary parade marshals for Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s homecoming parade and will be leading the way at 10 a.m., Saturday.
PHOTO2: Wayne Kinzie (in his younger days) balances atop a seven-foot unicycle. He rode the cycle with the Northwestern Oklahoma State University band while attending college there. He and his wife, Beverly, are honorary marshals for Northwestern’s homecoming parade at 10 a.m., Saturday.
Through more than 40 years of marriage, family and running several businesses, Wayne and Beverly Kinzie have always been there for each other and the same will hold true this Saturday as they lead the Northwestern Oklahoma State University homecoming parade.
The Kinzies, who served for many years on the General Homecoming Committee, have been invited to serve as honorary parade marshals for the parade that begins at 10 a.m. at the northeast corner of Alva’s square.
Both Kinzies attended NortPhoto 2
hwestern, as did all of their children – so their ties to the university run deep. Wayne was born and raised in Alva and Beverly comes from eastern Oklahoma. They met through Wayne’s sister, who was attending Oklahoma City University with Beverly. They married in 1961.
While still in college in the 1950s, Wayne started an airplane repair business. He learned to fly while in high school, and he always has had an interest in planes. He actually bought two wrecked planes and rebuilt them into one that he sold.
After college, the Kinzies started a lawn mower and bicycle repair shop downtown because unicycles and high wheel cycles are interests of his. In fact, when he was in college and a member of the band, the band director discovered that Wayne had a seven-foot-tall unicycle that he rode for fun. After that, Wayne was relieved of his trumpet-playing duties and rode the unicycle with the band, including appearances in the Oklahoma State Fair parade in Oklahoma City.
“I don’t know if it was because he really liked the unicycle or if my trumpet playing was that bad,” Kinzie said.
But airplanes were always in the back of his mind, so Wayne repaired both bicycles and airplanes for awhile. Then the Alva Industrial Foundation (AIF) built the building that bears the name Kinzie Industries at the Alva Airport. He moved the airplane business there and later branched out into helicopter repair, eventually buying the building from the AIF.
The business expanded and grew until Kinzie Industries was providing helicopter parts worldwide. As Wayne puts it, “There aren’t enough helicopters in Oklahoma to keep a business going for a year.” The company sold parts, overhauled engines and serviced the whole machine.
Throughout the building up of Kinzie Industries, Beverly was providing organizational and bookkeeping services. For 20 years, her office was on the second floor of their home so she could work and raise her family at the same time. The main drawback of that arrangement was having to answer phone calls 24 hours a day.
“Customers from New Zealand would call at 3 a.m. Alva time,” the Kinzies explained.
Later, Beverly and the Kinzies’ son, Paul, started Plane Plastics as an offshoot of Kinzie Industries. That business was located on Flynn Street, so Beverly moved her office to the corner of College Avenue and Murray Drive so she was situated halfway between the two. After Plane Plastics was sold, the office finally ended up back at the airport.
Although the Kinzies are now “retired,” they are still in business. Wayne continues to sell helicopter parts, and Beverly keeps the work organized. They also have rental property to manage, and he has trains (from model to full size) and antique cars and trucks to keep him busy. He annually (but not this year) drives the Alumni Association board of directors around the square in the homecoming parade in an antique truck.
Beverly’s interests lie in quilting and gardening, although that will have to take a backseat for a time as she plans to have knee replacement surgery shortly after homecoming. They also have seven grandchildren to keep them on their toes.
They became involved in homecoming because Wayne once remarked to the late Dan Shorter that “such and such” should have been in the parade. The next year, Shorter called him up and told him to come to a homecoming meeting and help. That was in the mid-1970s.
Shorter and Wayne worked together for approximately 20 years, arranging for “special attractions” to appear at homecoming. Those attractions could range from a small carnival that used to set up on Fifth Street in front of the post office to a longhorn steer ridden by his owner in the parade. Also, the Red Carpet Mule Train made annual visits. Throughout the years, Beverly was right there, keeping Wayne’s special attractions organized, just as she did with the businesses.
“Whatever one of us did, the other was always there to help,” Wayne said.
While they ran Kinzie Industries, they always hired college students as workers. The Kinzies estimate that through the years they employed more than 400 students. One of them was current Northwestern director of housing and of students Marc Wallace, who now is in charge of special attractions for homecoming. Another was Allen “Skeeter” Bird, the new executive director of the Northwestern Foundation.
Non-student former employees of Kinzies’ with Northwestern ties include Lizabeth Richey, current Alumni Association director, and Jim Detgen, physical plant director.
The Kinzies’ oldest child, Paul, who received the Foundation’s Recognition Award in 1987, graduated from Northwestern in 1985. He now is a stay-at-home dad and lives in Fayetteville, N.C. His wife, Elizabeth, is a doctor of internal medicine and psychiatry with the U.S. Army and is assigned to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to work with Middle Eastern prisoners. They have a 2-year-old son, Spencer Wayne.
Mark is with a law firm in St. Louis, Mo. He has a 10-year-old son, Duncan.
Timothy, a 1988 graduate, is a doctor with St. John’s Medical Clinic in Branson, Mo. He and his wife, Diane, have three children: Zoe, 3; Nicholas, 2, and Riley, 4 months.
Teresa is married to Kyle Malzahn, a 1996 Northwestern graduate. She is a representative for Edward Jones in Oklahoma City, and he is at teacher at Santa Fe High School. They have two children: Hannah, 8, and Dane, 19 months.
All the children and their families will be present Saturday to watch mom and dad lead the homecoming parade.

Aaron Rolph, 16, was one of a group of “Muni”, or mountain unicycle, lovers who displayed their skills in Mabie Forest, Dumfries-shire.
Mountain unicycling is well established in America and Canada and about 150people participate in the sport across the UK.
Cumbrian Muni and Trials Club founder Simon Rolph, 47, said: "If you’re into unicycling it’s a natural progression.

I was amazed to read about the exploits of “unicycle boy” Laurie Ley (October 7) and do wonder what road safety campaigners, police and the local education authority think about it.
It is common sense to realise that you will not have as much control on one wheel as two and while the boy does appear to be “cycling” on the path, if he lost balance, which is eminently possible, then he surely would soon be on the road.
I was staggered that the boy’s headteacher thinks “it’s wonderful”. Presumably he would not if the boy fell off the bike on school premises and careered into some children. In these days of compensation-seeking, I do hope that the school and education authority are fully insured to cover such contingencies.
I am not a killjoy by any means but some of the descriptions in the article virtually defy belief. To paraphrase - “manages to land safely back on the ground”, “when I go past them on my cycle”.
The boy may think he is entertaining and “has enjoyed the limelight” but I am not sure any victims would think so.
Finally, it is very comforting to read that the cycle is usually parked in the classroom, presumably a privilege which is denied to children with normal, two-wheel bikes!
Don’t think this one has been on here yet.

Unicycle Fury!

Filed under: Non-Fishing, Funny, Sports, Videos
Here at Fishing Fury we love anything that’s new and exciting, cover it in lighter fluid, set it on fire and we’ll love it even more. My good friend Philip Barbosa, who’s been featured in Beginners Luck; Gracefully Out-Fished by a Novice, has turned me on to the relatively new extreme sport of unicycling. I won’t be riding off with the big boys just yet, but I’m in the process of learning the basics.
If you’re a fan of skateboarding, BMX, or rollerblading you’ve no doubt seen some awesome jaw-dropping tricks performed. Well, prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor after watching these two videos.
First, we have the Spaced Out Trailer, I believe filmed in and around Toronto, in which riders display an amazing ammount of technical skill in a variety of styles.
Now, lets break out the lighter fluid I mentioned earlier and get a game of Flaming Puck Unicycle Hockey going.
For more information about extreme unicycling check out Unicyclist.com, KrisHolm.com and Wikipedia.
Hopefully Phil can supply me with some more links and videos when he gets off of work.
