The success he enjoyed as a leader and innovator in business, extended to his charitable work as well.
Miller was known for his generosity and was quick to share his good fortune, particularly with the Tigers.
In 2010, Miller made a significant donation to Occidental athletics that helped start the school’s varsity women’s lacrosse program, giving countless women the opportunity to play the sport on the West Coast.
Since winning two games in it’s inaugural season, the team has made two Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s postseason tournaments, had nine players named to the All-Conference team (four that were underclassmen or playing the sport for the first time) and last year had its best finish with six wins, including milestone victories on the road and against national competition.
“The Miller’s passion for lacrosse has been impressive, as well as their desire to afford competitive and character-building opportunities to women through sports,” Occidental lacrosse coach Michele Uhlfelder.
A discussion about whether to expand the Normal Park school zone again turned into much more at Thursday night’s Hamilton County school board meeting.It brought up old issues from the Hill City debate and new ones since the board decided to let that area attend Normal Park Museum Magnet School. It ended with an emotional presentation from the school’s principal and board member Rhonda Thurman walking out during the meeting.A mother-to-be asked the Hamilton County school board to include 1 Northshore into the Normal Park school zone after Chip Baker proposed it. Baker says it’s only fair because the board agreed to let Hill City students into the magnet school zone at the November 3 meeting. Other board members wanted more information, but Rhonda Thurman wanted to forget the topic altogether.”I am ready to move on,” Thurman told the board. “There are other kids just as important as the ones at Normal Park and the surrounding areas.”But the issue isn’t over. To illustrate the point that the school will soon become overcrowded, Normal Park Principal Jill Levine showed the board real estate listings in Hill City.

One of New Zealand’s most critical elections is just over a week away. How you vote will make a world of difference to this country’s future and fortunes.
Forget the rhetoric, the sound-bite circuses and the outlandish claims masquerading as policy. Focus on the real state of this nation and the unique set of problems that must be carefully managed.
As New Zealanders we may need to put aside historical reasons for voting and give the best available team the mandate to get a complex job done. Who you don’t vote for becomes incredibly important.
According to recent polls 3.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent of voters (margin of error aside) think a vote for Winston Peters would benefit New Zealand. If this truly is the case rather than a polling blip I implore these people to think again.
His credibility is bankrupt and he doesn’t rate the empowerment that voting for him would allow. How can we trust someone who also continues to want to rewrite history solely for his own gain?
So who is equipped to lead the country?

Oxy and CMS split the regular season series, with each winning at the opposing team’s home court, but Oxy was able to take the momentum it generated after winning the most recent match, into Gilbert Arena.
A little less than 48 hours ago, the Tigers trailed in Game 3 24-16 at CMS, then went on a 10-0 taking the next three sets and the match.
Whatever hit them to spark that impressive run on Tuesday carried over to Thousand Oaks.
”It was really nice because we were coming into the match 1-1 with them an having just played them the other night, I think the girls were really focused and really concentrated on what we needed to do to better ourselves, from the other night, and to capitalize on the things we did well,” Occidental coach Heather Collins said. “E

The Hamilton County school system is moving forward with plans to build two new elementary schools. This, one day after Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger announced the county is giving the school system $50 million.Thursday night the school board approved a facilities plan that includes new elementary schools for East Brainerd and Ooltewah. The plan also includes renovations and additions for other schools, but when and how the school system gets money for those projects is still uncertain. Jessica Thomas’ daughter, Olivia, attends Kindergarten at CSLA. She came to the school board meeting hoping to hear good news about renovating the school.”We don’t have enough room.
