Stephanie Murdough Riley of Concord will be lacing up her sneakers and participating with her young family and about 130 friends at the Rock 'N Race on May 8.

It benefits not only the hospital she works for, but where she is receiving treatment for stage four lung cancer.

Diagnosed in February, Steph is strong and this aggressive form of cancer has met its match.

In fact, "Steph Strong" is the name of her huge team which has raised more than $9,000 for Concord Hospital's Payson Center for Cancer Care.

She will fire the starting pistol on the lawn of the State House at 6 p.m. and will be asked to say a few words to inspire the more than 6,000 participants in the popular annual fundraiser. The course weaves through the downtown comes through the former State School grounds and ends where it begins at the state's Capitol.

Sharon E. Sweet, events manager for the Concord Hospital Trust, said over the years, the race has raised $3.2 million.

"Last year, 6,543 people participated, we hope to match those numbers again this year," Sharon said.

Steph is no stranger to the event.

"I have always walked the Rock 'n Race with the kids' school team," she said. "This year, I am moving to Rock Star status," by becoming one of the largest fund raisers for the event.

Manuel Cantu had few needs. His morning coffee and the newspaper, a few lottery tickets, and a bit of money for food and beer were all it took to make him happy.

Known to everyone in his hometown of Poteet as Indian Joe, Cantu was always willing to work, mowing lawns, raking leaves and doing any other handyman chores for which he might be paid a few dollars.

He wasnt begging money, his sister Hilda Cantu said. He would say, 'I can do this for you, pay me what you want; if you need anything, just let me know.

Cantu was found dead at his apartment Monday, the victim of an apparent homicide. He was 66.

The fifth of 11 children, Cantu dubbed himself Indian Joe after the Native American characters portrayed in the Western movies he watched as a child.

He was raised by his father after his mother left the family when he was 15, dropping out of school in the ninth grade to work in the fields with his brothers.

He was a migrant worker, traveled to different states, Hilda Cantu said. He picked oranges in Florida, in Indiana picked tomatoes, worked in a corn factory in Minnesota; when he got back to Poteet, he got into the lawn mowing and trimming business.

Cantu also picked strawberries in his hometown, and never missed the annual Poteet Strawberry Festival and parade.

Cantu, who never married or had children, often played volleyball with his family on the weekends, but his passion was wrestling, his sister said. He loved to see the WWE, gathering at his fathers house, and then hosting his family at his own small apartment on Monday nights after his fathers death.

But Cantu could mostly be found riding his bicycle he never owned a car through the streets of Poteet, offering his services to anyone in need.

Chris Gerrity isnt just designing structures, hes building relationships.

The American Institute of Architects Indianas 2014 Young Architect of the Year has found a home at Schmidt Associates, where he designs buildings with an aim toward improving local communities.

Case in point, Gerrity has spent the past several years working with Indianapolis Public Schools, leading the project management team for a $700 million capital improvement plan, pursuing LEED certifications for a number of schools and developing online training modules to educate teachers about their new energy-efficient buildings.

Gerrity discovered a love of building early in his own school days.

When I was in third grade, our class project was for each student to build a house out of plastic straws, he said. It was my first memory of learning how I could use simple materials to create an interesting space. I was amazed at how everyone had a different idea about how a house would look, even though we were all using the same materials.

A Chicago native, Gerrity knew he wanted to focus his job search in Indianapolis after graduating from college.

I had met a lot of people in Indianapolis and liked the city, he said. Schmidt Associates was a good fit for me because of its culture and design philosophy. I like that the work we do here is community-based. I also like that there isnt just one design style. Every project we do looks different, because every client is different.

Additionally, Gerrity finds time to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and to mentor young people who are interested in architecture.

5 questions with Chris Gerrity

We want our yards to be the farmers market, a nature preserve, a kitchen, the den and an expression of our own personal style.

Thats the snapshot for whats hot in Tucsons gardens for 2015 according to several gardening and landscape professionals.

Interest in growing food continues to explode. Garden writer and educator Jacqueline Soule says her gardening classes are full, while nurseries can barely keep up with the demand for vegetable and fruit seeds, starts and trees and supplies to keep them growing.

Thats the largest increase in sales by far, says Silverbell Nursery manager Matt Smit. The only thing that is trending up in plant sales is food.

He notes that hes seeing a lot of new gardeners who are in their 20s and 30s, usually not the typical age for gardening. And baby boomers are returning to their growing roots established by their parents, he adds.

Reusing, reclaiming and recycling are increasingly important themes with clients, observes landscape designer Paul Connolly.

Its not so much for a cost savings, although thats part of it, says Connolly, owner of Sundrea Design Studio, Sundrea Landscape Center and Sundrea Style. Its the whole ecological aspect of it.

People would rather repurpose items than to throw them away, he says.

For one design project, Connolly tore up a brick patio in the front yard and used the material to create a new patio in a side yard.

Dirt that was excavated to build new walls and cinder blocks that came from an old wall that was torn down were not dumped into a landfill. Instead, they were used to fill an eroded area that then was landscaped.

Going inside Florida's 28-20 win over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl.

The Birmingham Bowl doesn't have the mystique of some of the SEC's other bowl destinations, but it provided one of the league's more resounding statements of this postseason:

The East has the last laugh.

The division hasn't won a conference title since Tim Tebow and Florida did so in 2008 and this season, while the West was being touted as the deepest division in the nation with Alabama, Mississippi State and Auburn all at one time or another in the playoff mix, the East was in shambles. Underscoring it all, Missouri, the team it sent as its representative to Atlanta for the conference title game, was shutout 34-0 by second-place Georgia and lost to Indiana, which would go 1-7 in the Big Ten.

All that being said, the West went 2-5 in bowl games -- only Texas A&M (Liberty Bowl vs. West Virginia) and Arkansas (Texas Bowl vs. Texas) won -- including top-ranked Alabama's loss to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl national semifinal. The East, meanwhile, improved to 5-0 after the Gators' win over East Carolina.

To review the East's wins, No. 13 Georgia beat No. 21 Louisville in the Belk Bowl; No. 16 Missouri topped No. 25 Minnesota in the Citrus Bowl; South Carolina edged Miami in the Independence Bowl; and Tennessee downed Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

Chances are this isn't going to alter the landscape in the SEC, but the East can at least go into the recruiting season with some unexpected ammo.

Among the few bright spots on this Gators team was Vernon Hargreaves III, the sophomore cornerback who was named a second-team All-American after totaling 42 tackles, two interceptions and a team-high 12 pass breakups.

But he had a daunting task ahead of him at Legion Field vs. Pirates wide receiver Justin Hardy, the NCAA's all-time receptions leader.

Four Downs: Florida keeps SEC East perfect with Birmingham Bowl win

NEW ORLEANS The college football landscape underwent a transformational shift one night in the Arizona desert eight years ago.

Ohio States 41-14 loss to Florida in the BCS championship game represented not just one bad night for a proud power but the creation of a deep-fried monster that would assume a life of its own.

As the Southeastern Conference claimed seven straight national titles, other leagues became cast as the junior varsity. Ohio State might be good but not SEC good and certainly never SEC fast.

On Thursday night, Urban Meyer with the help of his uncommon Buckeyes team formally ended the reign he began.

Ohio States 42-35 win over top-seeded Alabama in the Sugar Bowl provided the latest implausible chapter to its storybook season and punctuated a Big Ten bowl mutiny that upended everything we thought we knew.

Meyer came to Ohio State in 2012 to build a deeper, faster program modeled after the titans of the SEC the way he did in leading Florida to national titles in 2006 and 2008. Three top-five recruiting classes later, he has a team without equal in the once-invincible southern league.

The Buckeyes (13-1) will play second-seeded Oregon for the first College Football Playoff title on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas.

Villagers seize bulldozers earlier this week during a land dispute in Preah Vihear province involving a community forest. ADHOC

After villagers in Preah Vihears Brame commune briefly held two drivers hostage and confiscated bulldozers on Monday due to an ongoing land dispute, two Chinese concessionaire companies and provincial authorities agreed yesterday to temporarily cease the clearing of contested land in the area.

During a meeting with the Chinese firms and authorities yesterday, 200 community members demanded Rui Feng International and Lan Feng halt the three-year clearing project on their lands as it greatly reduces the standard of living of the 367 families, many of whom are ethnic Kuoy minorities.

The company cleared our forest, resin trees and farming lands, making us poor and leading us to lose out ethnic identification, said community representative Nuon Mon.

In response to the demand, Sou Serey, Preah Vihear's deputy governor who presided over the meeting, said that while the province has no right to withdraw ELCs, they will work on resolving the land dispute.

We have also have no right to close the company, but were trying to solve the ongoing dispute, Serey said. Its the right of the people to not accept it.

Villagers requested a six-month cessation, but Serey could not confirm how long the clearing will be halted.

Currently, officials are demarcating property to determine ownership of the lands.

We are waiting for the commune to map the community and our committee will demarcate the community, Serey said.

The decision was several days after Brame community members briefly kidnapped two company drivers and confiscated bulldozers on Monday to bolster their opposition. The drivers were subsequently released and the machinery returned to the companies the following day.
