WINSTON-SALEM —The N.C. Department of Transportation has named the winner of the Brent Hamilton Excellence Award. NCDOT Division 9 Business Officer Willie Bradwell, Jr. was recognized by his peers during today’s Board of Transportation meeting as this years’ honoree.
Division 9 Engineer Pat Ivey said, “Bradwell was the perfect choice for the reward in part because of his thorough knowledge of financial and accounting principles and the highest level of professional competence and ethical standards.”
Bradwell began his career at NCDOT in November 1995 as the Division 9 accounting technician and has served as the division business officer since 2000. Prior to coming to NCDOT, he worked with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Florida State University.
Division 9 Board Member Jake Alexander said, "His commitment to the highest integrity has been noticed by all who work with him, myself included. Mr. Bradwell is consistently a good steward of taxpayer dollars. He helps counties keep a balanced inventory by researching issues himself and works to help the field achieve the goals set in place by our Division and by the staff in Raleigh. Willie is indeed an excellent choice for this Award."
While Mr. Bradwell’s main focus is on Division 9, his expertise is sought out on many statewide projects and various workgroups. He provides guidance and assistance to other Divisions and is held in very high regard by many of his colleagues across the state as evidenced by the following comments compiled for this nomination:
•Kathy Walker (Division 7) - “After I became the business officer, Willie physically came to Division 7 and showed me how to research to see where we had funds. He walked me through the process of creating funding documents. He showed me how to reconcile the overdrafts. He walked me through the process of allocating funds. He brought copies of his personal notes that he thought would be helpful. He has assisted me when I had inventory questions. He has shared excel spreadsheet formats that he has come up with that he thought would be beneficial to me. He has always been very patient and kind. Willie always has time for me and I will forever be thankful for him.”
•Melissa Dorman (NCDOT Financial Services Division) - “I think Willie is an excellent candidate for the Brent Hamilton award. In Fiscal, Willie is viewed as a business officer who is always on top of things. He is well respected and knowledgeable and always asks questions to ensure that his Division is operating properly. I have heard several Highway Division business officers make the statement that if they needed to know how to tackle a new situation; they would contact Willie for advice and to see how he would handle the same matter in his Division.”
•Fred Little (Division 6) - “Going back to my days as an accountant in the State Project Funding Unit (SPFU) of Accounting Operations (AO), I worked with and came to know all 14 Business Officers (BO), one of whom was Willie Bradwell. Although each had his/her own unique way of doing business in a unique division office, Willie stood out as the business officers’ business officer. Anytime I wanted to contact all B.O.s as a group, I would ask Willie to proof what I had to say for accuracy, clarity and relevance. And, when I sought the opinion of any one B.O., I would always seek out Willie for his candor and insight. Seven years ago, I became a B.O. myself, here in Fayetteville with Division 6. I immediately reached out to Willie for guidance. He took me in like he had gotten a new job, too, i.e. training Fred. I drove the two-plus hours to Winston-Salem twice to work hands-on with Willie and his uncommonly-capable Accounting Tech, Joy Ogburn. Together, they went over literally everything I would come to know as duties of a B.O. After that, I have continued (to this day) to call or email Willie for help or advice. If he is unavailable, I know he will get back to me ASAP. When I joined the SPFU, I got to know Brent Hamilton as she was preparing to leave AO, and working only part time. Because of my deep admiration for Brent’s integrity and dedication, her tireless efforts on behalf of our stakeholders, and her cheerful spirit, I take seriously an award in her memory. While there will not be another Brent Hamilton, I can truly say that Willie Bradwell’s traits of character model those set forth by Brent. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to wholeheartedly endorse the nomination of my mentor and friend, Willie Bradwell Jr.”
•Keith Rudd (NCDOT Fiscal) “You may know, I work in the State Project Funding Unit of Fiscal in Raleigh. Willie and I have worked together for years. Willie has helped me countless times (too numerous to mention) with Division 9 financial issues concerning WBS elements, overdrafts, funding, etc. Some of our problems resolved through the years have been very complex, and required working together through several steps before the issue can be resolved. Willie has always been very courteous, friendly, and professional in all of our communications. Not only that his knowledge and experience are a value and asset to me and surely his fellow Division 9 coworkers. To be quite honest, Willie is so knowledgeable in his work, that whenever he calls with a question or a problem, it sort of worries me, because I think, ‘What can I possibly know that he doesn’t already know, to be asking me about it?’. Ha, ha, ha. But, when he does, we always work through it, and come up with a solution/answer to his question. I truly enjoy working with him, and it is always a pleasure to do so. I think Willie is very deserving of this award.”
The Brent Hamilton Excellence in Financial Management and Integrity Award is intended to recognize significant dedication and hard work to the betterment of financial services and operations within business units throughout the Department. Someone worthy of this award embodies NCDOT’s commitment to trustworthiness, always tries to do what’s right, even in difficult circumstances, and demonstrates integrity in all dealings, personal and professional.
The award will be given annually to an NCDOT employee demonstrating exemplary dedication to financial services and functions, increasing financial accountability, providing excellent stewardship of public dollars, and a being role model for adherence to ethical standards.
The award is named in honor of former Fiscal Manager Brent Hamilton. Brent was admired for her dedication to financial work and for her courage and strength during her long battle with cancer.

What is it that gives us the sense of High Adventure? For me I think it is the thrill of the unknown. What's around the next corner? How am I going to get home? How far is it? Where will I sleep tonight? Maybe thats why I enjoy hiking so much. This hike was one of the best I've been on in a long time and it was almost completely unplanned. That being said, I do have enough sense to have a map along with the other ten essentials as well as a little knowledge of the area I'm going into. I don't care to turn into another Chris McCandless, AKA Alexander Supertramp.
OK so this set of pictures was supposed to be named Emigrant Wilderness Thru-Hike but upon hiking up the shoulder of Big Sam Mountain which is the highest point in the wilderness on trail, thunder and lightning started crashing down around me. Being well above tree line at 10500 feet and having my metal hiking poles sticking out of my pack like a lightning rod, I decided to utilize my emergency exit route and beat feet out of there. I was really bummed that I would not be seeing Emigrant Pass, High Emigrant Lake, Middle Emigrant Lake, Emigrant Meadow Lake and all the other lakes down the Crabtree Trail, but the continued lightning in the area reinforced that my decision to get out of the high country was the right one. I started my hike that day at Leavitt Lake after my father in-law so graciously drove me up there in the Jeep. Leaving the lake, I climbed the old abandoned Jeep road up to the top of the ridge and down to the PCT. Following the PCT for a while going south, I made my way to the juction of the PCT and the Emigrant Trail near Kennedy Canyon. Following the Emigrant Trail West towards Big Sam Mountain, I was about 500' below the top of Big Sam when the lightning started and I turned around. Having read reports of the area, including the excellent Emigrant Wilderness and Northwestern Yosemite book by Ben Schifrin, I knew there was a boot path down through Kennedy Canyon. The boot path took me as far as Kennedy Lake where I picked up the Kennedy Lake Trail. Once you get to Kennedy Lake the trail goes through some pretty muddy and swampy areas. There are also lots of cows in this area as it is utilized as a grazing area by local ranchers. Knowing this, it is a good idea to fill up on water before you hit the lake. After passing the lake you will come up on an old log cabin which belonged to an Andrew Thomas Kennedy. I wanted to get a better look at it but it looked as if someone was possibly using it for a base camp so I steered clear of it. After the cabin you will come to a fence that is used to keep the cattle in but I don't think it worked too well as I saw cattle on both sides of the gate. It was at this point of my hike that the thunder and lightning really started in earnest and I got hailed on pretty hard by marble sized hail (later I heard Yosemite was getting golf ball sized hail so I guess I was lucky). After about 4 miles past Kennedy Lake, the trail crosses Kennedy Creek and it becomes very pretty and rugged with smooth polished granite all around. I was in a unique position seeing this trail this way as the majority of people seeing this area for the first time see it coming up from Kennedy Meadows, I was seeing Kennedy Meadows for the first time by hiking down to it. Once you are in the canyon with all the polished granite, you have a choice of taking the Night Cap Stock Trail or the Relief Reservoir Trail down into Kennedy Meadows. I chose the Relief Trail. At the end of the trail you still have a mile or two to go on a dirt road before you get to the store and restaraunt. I believe I read somewhere that there used to be a lodge here but it burned down a couple of years ago. I did see a campground there. Having made plans to be picked up the next day at the Crabtree Trailhead, I used the pay phone to place calls to my father-in-law to come pick me up. I didn't know it at the time but he later told me that he had gone in to the lake earlier that day and forgot that he still had his cell phone in his pocket so calling him did me no good at all. Sitting on the porch of the store at Kennedy Meadows drinking a Gatorade, I watched a car pull up and drop a guy off with a pack. I immediately recognized the guy as a PCT thru-hiker as he fit the hiker trash model with what looked like a couple of months worth of beard growth. I asked him if he just came from Sonora Pass and if the guy he was riding with was going west on Hwy 108. He said he was so I ran down the steps and stuck out my thumb at the guy and he waved at me to come on in. After securing my pack in the back of his car, I learned that the thru-hiker was up on the Sierra Crest near Sonora Pass not too far away from where I was when the lightning started. The storm really came out of nowhere as it was sunny one minute and black clouds the next. He said the thru hiker (named Bill) threw down his pack and ran downhill to the cover of some trees when the storm hit. After the storm abated a little he climbed back up, grabbed his pack and made for the pass. The gentleman that picked me up (Greg) said that Bill was soaking wet when he picked him up at the pass. Greg said he hadn't picked up a hitchhiker in more than 20 years and today he had picked up 2 in the span of an hour. I let him know that it was OK because I hadn't hitched in quite a few years either but under the circumstances I though it appropriate today. Greg was a really great guy and told me he was recently retired and that he used to be a private investigator for a law firm in San Diego. He told me the story of the lady that walked through someones yard near Joshua Tree and found thousands of little piles of what she thought looked like kitty litter. Upon closer inspection she found a couple little metal tags in the piles and she brought them to her husband who was the county prosecuter. He knew what they were immediately. They were toe tags from bodies that had been creamated. This is when Greg the PI got involved to determine where the ashes to all these bodies were supposed to have been scattered. Turned out the owner of the property was in the ash scattering business for people who had no one else to scatter their ashes for them when they passed away. The guy had been falsifying documents for over 10 years saying he was scattering the ashes in the location the deceased requested but instead he just dumped them on his property thinking no one would be the wiser. Great story! Before I knew it Greg had driven me the 20 + miles back to Twain Harte where my family was staying and dropped me off right at my door. Greg if you are reading this, thank you so much for the ride, and the stories were top notch. The perfect end to my high adventure day!

In Hindu mythology the light signifies goodness and vitality. A traditional Puja is performed after sunset in all the homes. Ghee diyas (lamps) are lit in front of the deities, Naivedya of traditional sweets is offered to the Goddess and devotional songs- in praise of Goddess Laxmi are sung across all traditional Hindu homes. It is almost history today due to hectic life and urbanization.

Swift Hall was the second building erected for the Engineering Department at the University of Cincinnati. Constructed in 1926, Swift Hall was designed by Harry Hake to be fireproof, made of steel and concrete, red wire-cut brick and Terra cotta trimming. The building was the last word in architecture, design and construction methods as new inventions changed the fabric of construction.
Swift Hall, named after the generous benefactor John B. Swift, housed the electrical engineering department for the expanding engineering department. Swift was the president of the Eagle Pitcher Lead Company and donated $150,000 in memory of his brother who had been a graduate of the University. Another generous donation by John Emery enabled the University to build the building.
Like other engineering programs across the United States, the University of Cincinnati's Engineering Department competed in the burgeoning world of technology. Through the persistence of UC instructor Paul Herget, who became an astronaut, the University beat out East Schools like Yale to obtain one of the first computers utilized in colleges. The computer was an IBM 650 and allowed UC’s Engineering Department to develop the first program to teach computer programming to the visually impaired as well as those with disabilities.
In 2002 and 2003 Swift Hall, along with other buildings at UC, were renovated to include computer-based classrooms, offices and meeting spaces. Currently Swift Hall houses the Main Campus Newspaper, the News Record, offices and classrooms. On a fun side note: astronomer Paul Herget later helped design the Pringle Potato Chip.
Oringinally completed in 1926, Swift Hall is adjacent to the Steger Student Life Center and houses classrooms, lecture halls, and offices for various UC programs. glaserworks, as Architect of Record worked closely with the University and with design firm Moore Ruble Yudell to create some of UC’s earliest high-tech "digital" classrooms. These electronic classrooms have been designed to comply with specific guidelines supporting teaching and learning with technology. Nearly every student has an unobstructed view of high definition video images projected from a computer, laptop, VCR, DVD, or document camera augmented with excellent sound quality. Lighting and shades are automatically controlled for optimum viewing and note-taking. In the larger lecture rooms, multiple screens allow simultaneous viewing and recording of side-by-side images for comparison or examination i.e. a scanned photo downloaded from the web shown adjacent to a physical specimen placed under the document camera.

This is Common Knowledge. They are a relatively new band from good ol' Whitehorse, Yukon.
This is their second year at the Blue Feather Music Festival, and their best. It is also two weeks before they head down to Toronto for the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards.
One day, on their facebook page, a women asked for a cd for the CBC library. During their communication, Clancy asked her where she had heard about them. She responded through the CAMA's. He replied that while they had submitted, it wasn't as though they had been nominated for anything. She quickly corrected him- they were nominated for three: Best Group or Duo, Best Rock Album, and Best Album of the Year.
***As of November 18, 2011, Common Knowledge are the winners of Best Group or Duo award!*
With a bit of correspondence, they have also arranged to play the main stage at the awards ceremony.
Wish these guys luck, and keep your eyes on them!
