I’ve worked 15 years to be here,” said Catherine Camisa, owner of Mom’s Ceramics. Camisa has poured her heart into clay, kilns and ceramics in her Massapequa shop. “I have 30,000 molds in the basement that I slipcast, which is a dying art,” she told CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan. It’s all teetering on the brink of closure after being served with a huge lawsuit from her landlord, back rent and his legal fees. “It comes to $87,000, which I can’t pay because I don’t have any customers,” Camisa said.

Trevor Werbylo: The confident leader behind the No. 1 team in NCAA men’s golf
The University of Arizona currently has a team ranked No. 1 in the country. Based on the school’s history, one might assume it would be the men's or women’s basketball team — or maybe the softball or baseball team. All of them have had a strong season, but none have had one as dominant as the Arizona men’s golf team, winners of back-to-back tournaments and currently rank as the No. 1 men’s college golf team in the country according to golfstat.com . Leading the charge is senior Trevor Werbylo. Werbylo is a hometown kid and graduate of Salpointe Catholic High School. In Arizona’s last tournament, Werbylo finished tied for first place in The Prestige Tournament. A great achievement, but he has his eyes set on a much bigger prize.

Reading day daytrips
The University of Arizona divided up spring break into “reading days” — March 9-10, April 2, April 21 and May 6 — to reduce the amount of student travel that commonly defines a college spring break. Rather than taking a flight to Mexico or a road trip to California for a week, students can spend the day off, possibly relaxing or adventuring in the college town of Tucson. There are stunning locations on the outskirts of the city where one can spend time in nature and enjoy the sunny weather.
