By CAROL VOSSLER
---- — If you have been to the hospital anywhere in the North Country, chances are that one of the nurses or radiologic technologists who took care of you was a North Country Community College graduate.
Many local police and corrections officers, state troopers, business owners, athletic-event organizers, artists, managers, counselors, teachers, etc., have begun and/or completed their education at NCCC.
These students' success was nurtured by the college's full-time professional staff: teaching faculty, librarians, athletic director, enrollment and financial-aid counselors and student-affairs professionals, among others, who deal directly with students, teaching, advising and coaching them to success.
In 2010, NCCC was ranked the No. 1 community college in New York state and No. 22 in the nation by Washington Monthly, based on our high graduation rate, above-average care for students and ability to challenge and support students in their academic and personal journeys.
Unfortunately, the NCCC professional staff labor contract expired in 2009, and we have not been able to negotiate a new contract and have not seen a pay increase in three years, while class sizes and instructional challenges have increased.
From spring 2009 to spring 2011, annual enrollment went from 2,246 students to 2,847, while the number of professional staff went from 56 to 51, with no loss of quality but no compensation for the extra work.
The college has been responsible with its money. It has not asked Essex or Franklin counties to increase their financial support in the past three years. Yet somehow during this time, the college has been able to turn a negative fund balance to one of $3.1 million (in a budget of about $13 million). This was done by denying raises to professional staff, even when the staff of every other college and public school in the region received them. The college also did not replace professional staff who left or were let go, thus increasing the workload on everyone else.
NCCC professional staff are already among the lowest paid of college faculty in New York state, not to mention of teachers, in general. Our starting salary, for an instructor with a master's degree, is 32 percent lower than that of Clinton Community College, 17 percent lower than that of Adirondack Community College and 26 percent lower than that of the Lake Placid School District.
Additionally, faculty at local colleges and schools, and even workers in Essex and Franklin counties have received raises over each of the past three years, while we have not.
Despite receiving lower pay, we contribute more of our health-insurance costs than most other public employees do: between 10 and 25 percent of premium costs. Our insurance itself is the state employee plan (NYSHIP), which is less expensive than what most school districts have.
No one goes into education solely for the money. We all have a passion to help students succeed. But we still have to live.
The college estimates its regional economic impact to be about $50 million a year. A large part of that comes from staff who buy homes, pay taxes, shop, do business, and own businesses here. We also serve on planning boards and advisory committees, organize artistic events, publish scholarly articles, work against child abuse, maintain websites for local arts organizations and serve on their boards, bring Santa Claus to local children and even raise money on our own for student activities.
We organize student community-service projects, like massages for Ironman athletes and nursing home residents, blood-pressure and cancer screening clinics, volunteering at the fire department, cleaning up wilderness areas, collecting food and toy donations, putting together community athletic clinics and more.
All members of the college community want to keep the highly qualified staff we currently have and continue providing a quality education to our students and service to our communities. So we urge you — graduates, parents of students, patients of well-trained nurses, proprietors of local businesses, whoever you might be — to tell the college administration, the Essex County supervisors and the Franklin County legislators that the NCCC professional staff need a fair contract that accurately compensates us for the work we do to bring success to our students and our region.
— Carol Vossler is president of the North Country Community College Association of Professionals and wrote this on behalf of the membership.

Ken Silverstein, Contributor
I write about the global energy business.
Who's more powerful: ExxonMobil or President Obama? The nation's chief executive is taking his case directly to the American people while Big Oil is traipsing the halls of Congress.
High prices and profits are now defining the oil sector, which the president says can be attributed in part to public subsidies — incentives that should be removed and used to reduce the annual deficit or re-allocated to clean energy. Wind, solar and energy efficiency efficiency must also get a chance at the American dream.
"The United States consumes more than 20 percent of the world's oil," says President Obama, in a recent energy speech. "But we only have 2 percent of the world's oil reserves. That means we can't just rely on fossil fuels from the last century. We have to keep developing new sources of energy. We have to keep developing new technology that helps us use less energy."
Investments in clean technologies have created thousands of jobs and allowed wind and solar to nudge their way into markets, the administration says. Have there been publicly funded failures? Absolutely, it adds, but even Congress expected as much by reserving billions to cover such losses. Still, solar maker Solyndra's bankruptcy is far less a public nuisance than the BP oil spill that cost billions to clean and that continues to disrupt millions of lives.
By comparison, those oil subsidies are "outrageous and inexcusable," the president argues, pointing out that they total $4 billion a year — when gas prices are nearing $4 a barrel. "Tell me: Does anyone really think Congress should give them another $4 billion this year?"
Good question. Many people, including the Republicans in Congress and all those from the oil patch, say that the answer is an unequivocal "yes." In the past, those lawmakers have prevented attempts to wipe out the breaks. Doing so would cause the price of gasoline to rise even more, they say, which is also something that the Congressional Research Service backed up in a report it issued in 2011.
Moreover, it would lead to less domestic energy, fewer jobs and reduced government revenue, the industry tells lawmakers. The oil and gas industry says that it pays $86 million each day into the federal treasury, referencing a study by the Strategic Energy & Economic Research that calls oil and gas companies "probably the biggest stimulus" that this country has going.
"To spur new jobs, the president advocates tax breaks for everyone but the oil and gas industry – the one sector with the proven ability to create jobs and already supporting 9.2 million of them," says Jack Gerard, head of the American Petroleum Institute.
Wind and solar require enormous subsidies and have not shown that they can operate at commercial scale, the petroleum industry has said. Trying to replace fossil fuels by mandating the production of and use of renewables before the technologies are ready would only increase costs. The oil sector is pointing to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report issued last summer that shows clean energy subsidies rose to $14.67 billion in 2010, from $5.1 billion in 2007.
If the oil industry can't be beaten, then what's the point in giving this issue such a high profile? It has both political and economic benefits, from the president's vantage point. Big Oil is a faceless brick wall that is easy to attack, especially because everyone is reminded each day of what they are paying for gas while they are simultaneously hearing about record oil profits.
"when gas prices are nearing $4 a barrel."
$4 a barrel?! Let me get in on some of that!
Obama is slicker than a 7′ rattle snake. Not only on the this matter, but he's fooling the American people big time on many issues; he's rewriting the constitution bit by bit.
The Pope did not tell JFK how to run the USA, so why is Obama telling the Pope how to run the Catholic Church?
Obama is slicker than a 7′ rattlesnake.
Why is Obama telling the Pope how to run the Catholic Church;
The Pope DID NOT tell JFK how to run America.
Keep dodging those Mexican bullets and stop telling the Federal Government how to secure our Southern border. KTHXBAI
Why did Forbes not post my comment as it was true and factual with no curse words?
A subsidy and a tax break are 2 different things. The government is not giving the oil companies any money let alone 4 billion. I don't think adding 4 billion in taxes to oil companies is going to be a good incentive for them to lower prices. It will more likely be an incentive to move more operations over seas.
It seems the biggest complaint about ending the oil subsidies is that jobs will be lost. Far more jobs would be lost by cutting back government spending.
I suggest that we suck it up and finally make a stand for alternative energy development. We've known about volitile oil prices and diminishing supplies since the 1970s. The longer we find excuses to drag out feet, the more painful the change will be.
Example of how hard it is to rid us if oil in the lab
I guess we'll see if the President does the right thing. We pay too little for our fuel and as long as our oil/gas remains artificially low in price, "we" will continue to believe the fiction that big oil/gas feeds us: "we have an unlimited supply of fossil fuels."
The "real price" of gas is rumored to be in the $10-11 range when you take into account unsubsidized raw costs, environmental costs, and military/political costs to keep access to international resources available to us. Do I really want to pay that for my fuel? No. But I must. We all have to pay the real price for our fuel so that alternatives become more cost effective. Someday, we will be forced to make this switch; better to do it now than continue to destroy our environment and engage in costly wars.
Bahrain has 0.78 per gallon venezuela is at 0.18 per gallon this is 2 countries that are not paying $4.00 per gallon. Hey i know what why don't everyone with short term memory do a search on Obamas speaches about his energy policy in 2009 you will find him stating that the price of fuel will rise slowly to even $8 per gallon we will be made in the likeness of Europe we are to speek more than one language. Obamas greatest acomplishment is his ability to divide the nation into such small groups that he has the most power by himself. We are divided by Race, class, political party, religion, and legal status. You see we all spend so much time at each others throats we fail to see who is pulling the strings. America needs a energy policy drill here drill now needs to start stop talking about it do it ( Will it have a effect right away?NO and YES ) For the first time America will have a enrgy plan to provide our own energy we can persue energy on all levels but we have to be logical to proceed first with what everyone uses untill we can reduce or replace it. This will send shock waves through out the entire earth America has 120 yrs of energy in the USA larger than the middle east reserves!? I want every one who is getting hot under the collar to turn on the tube and watch a movie that was produced in the 1970′s and was a story of the era this is for research and development of your attitude you will notice that in 40 years we have almost moved in to the space age we have made alot of progress in tecnology a 100 years ago we were all still in horse and buggy now we make trips to mars. My point is no matter how far the journey you will never get there if you don't start the trip.

Pella — Through a series of connections, we have a great opportunity to hear a young, Haitian native speak on Monday evening at 7:00 pm in Graham Conference center room #1.
Silentor Esthil-Henderson, an ISU grad, is back in the country to receive ISU's Alumni Association's 2012 STATEment Makers Award. Esthil-Henderson serves as In-Country Coordinator for Many Hands for Haiti, a Pella based charity which is launching its "180 for Haiti" campaign to build a school for the children of Gonaives.
A bit about Esthil-Henderson: Facing an advanced infection, Esthil-Henderson was given six months to live as a boy in La Croix, Haiti. Out of options, his mother took a leap of faith that would ultimately save his life. She placed him on the steps of a Haitian mission where he was found by Davenport, Iowa missionary Tommy Henderson. Henderson understood the crucial medical attention Esthil-Henderson needed, brought him back to Iowa to find the best hospital care, and later adopted him. These incredible acts of love and faith from both his mother and adopted father are the reason Esthil-Henderson is motivated to give back to Haitians facing the trials he once did.
Many Hands for Haiti is honored to have Esthil-Henderson leading the "180 for Haiti" campaign, which will provide the funds locals need to build a school and work as teachers and staff for the Gonaives community. This primary education level school will provide 130 children with a head start.
Esthil-Henderson will be speaking about his life-story and humanitarian work in Haiti. Please take advantage of this opportunity and encourage your students and friends to hear more about this Iowa-Haiti connection.

A post on the L.A. Times's L.A. Now blog the other day literally caused me to do a double take. The post was about former San Diego Councilman Ralph Inzunza, whose conviction regarding bribes and illegal political contributions from a strip club was just upheld by a federal appeals court. The case involved illegal contributions made by strip-club owner Michael Galardi to Inzunza and Councilman Michael Zucchet, who had just stepped in as acting mayor after Mayor Dick Murphy had resigned from office, in exchange for their efforts to repeal a city law prohibiting nude entertainers from touching patrons. (The ban never was repealed.) Councilman Charles Lewis was also indicted but died before trial.
As a San Diego Union-Tribune article relates,
Zucchet and Inzunza, both 35, were accused of taking $34,500 in cash bribes and campaign contributions from Galardi in a failed plot to repeal the city's "no-touch" ordinance. [Galardi's lobbyist Lance Malone] allegedly delivered the wads of cash from Galardi to Inzunza and Zucchet.
Inzunza and Zucchet were both convicted in 2005 of conspiracy, extortion, and fraud. Inzunza was sentenced to 21 months in prison. Curiously, Zucchet's conviction was overturned by the federal judge who heard the case and the U.S. 9th District Court of Appeals refused the prosecutor's bid to overturn the acquittal order. Both resigned from the city council following their convictions.
Now comes the part that caused my "wha-huh?" moment:
Inzunza has been free on bail since the conviction. Zucchet is now acting general manager of the Municipal Employees Assn.
So, let me get this straight: a city councilman and interim mayor is convicted of conspiracy, extortion, and fraud; resigns in disgrace; and then goes on to be the head of a city employees' labor union?! Perhaps this should not be so surprising, given the shenanigans of labor unions over the years, but it is very revealing about what the union values and what it stands for. In what private-sector business could you be convicted of corruption, extortion, and fraud, and then go on to become the leader of another organization? Perhaps this will be a wake-up call to taxpayers about the kind of thieves and thugs that wield enormous influence over our governments.

Picture This
A5 32p $2.50
"Deborah Harry is my favourite person. I'm too young to call her Debbie Harry. She was always Deborah to me. I'm too old to be writing a fanzine but maybe that's not what this is." This maybe-not-a-fanzine is an homage to Deborah Harry and to fandom. A collection of photographs of Harry with handwritten text stuck over the top, glorious cut 'n' paste style.
Piss Factory (various issues)
$2 (per copy) A5
Issues available: 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Please indicate in 'note to merchant' field in PayPal if you would like a particular issue. Full description coming soon.
Plastic Knife #1
$3 A5 60p
"Freckles started to appear on my face. No matter how much water I drank they would not go away. The freckles were so heavy that my neck and back started to ache, the strain of holding my head up was too much. Eventually I fell down and died." This is an example of the kind of stories that you'll find in an issue of Plastic Knife: very short, odd, and oddly vivid. The stories in this issue are accompanied by photocopies that were found in the recycling bins at Officeworks.
Plastic Knife #2
$3 A5 72p
"The idea of recording everything on film was immediately appealing, for clearly many parts of everything had never been photographed, nor perhaps even seen." Issue two of Plastic Knife contains stories with titles such as 'Everything', 'Homeland', 'The Script' and 'The Brief'. It is illustrated with photocopies of clothing.
Plastic Knife #3
$3 A5 72p
"Before I ate breakfast I had woken up feeling emotionally close to the Amish, but after my second piece of toast I felt allied to the more liberal mainstream Mennonites." The stories in Plastic Knife read like fragments snatched from longer narratives, which gives them an mysterious, secretive quality. Even something as small as the fact that, unlike the previous two issues, the titles of the stories in issue three are not underlined seems significant. Plastic Knife seems to be about leaving things out, stripping things back, making do with the bear essentials. But at the same time it's very generous: new issues come out in rapid succession, it's widely distributed, and you get a high page count for your $3. This issue is illustrated with photocopies of stuffed animals.
Plastic Knife #5
$3 A5 104p Temporarily sold out
"Everything costs money." The stories in this issue of Plastic Knife are the shortest yet, sometimes just a single sentence. As with previous issues each story is given a page of its own, so the brevity of this issue's stories, and the absence of illustrations, amounts to a lot of white space. It's this 'absence of content' which makes Plastic Knife so strange and compelling. Plastic Knife gives nothing away. In this issue, a high proportion of the stories and fragments, with titles like 'Wet', 'Earthquake' and 'Lisa and Dezik', are preoccupied with death and failure.
Plastic Knife #6/Black Paint Gold Wire #8
$3 A5 88p
This issue of Plastic Knife is a split with a zine called Black Paint Gold Wire. The Black Paint Gold Wire contributions are newspaper and magazine clippings, including: photographs of Farrah Fawcett chasing, or perhaps tripping over, a pig; call centre operators; Chuck Berry; the Spice Girls; random phone numbers in various fonts taken from random advertisements; etc. The Plastic Knife contributions resemble, in my mind, instructional art in the Yoko Ono vein, but from a darker sensibility.
Plastic Knife #9 / YOU
$3 A5 (approx) 140p 208g
"Teenagers die in only three ways: suicide, drink driving, peanut allergy." An epic issue of Plastic Knife split with YOU. Most zine splits start from the front and back pages and meet in the middle, but this is more like a proper collaboration (as with issue #6 of Plastic Knife, the split with Black Paint Gold Wire). The Plastic Knife contribution is a collection of lists and short stories that allude to death. The YOU contribution is a series of postcards from Luke about all the things he wants to do in life. The cumulative effect is moving; a weighing up of ways of dying and what happens to the traumatised body in death, against reasons to live, and to live every moment.
Couteau en Plastique No10 (Plastic Knife #10)
$3 A5 84p
Description coming soon.
Plastic Knife #11
This issue of Plastic Knife is a very special release from Fulsome Prism Recordings. Sub-titled 'Music from the zine Plastic Knife #10′, it is a CD album featuring the words from that zine sung, accompanied by acoustic guitar and the atmospheric noises of a home environment. I've continually referred to the writing in Plastic Knife as 'stories', implying prose, but perhaps they've been lyrics to songs all along. Take Care had the pleasure of seeing Plastic Knife perform these songs live at The Festival of the Photocopier in February 2014. And it's with great pleasure that I note that in iTunes, the music of Plastic Knife is tagged as 'punk'.
Plastic Knife #12 / From Here to There
$3 A5 88p
Description coming soon.
Prison in Macedonia
$4 A5 28p 37g
"In prison, in Macedonia, you have to take your own bowl and cup and spoon. This is because, in Macedonia, it is your own or your family's responsibility to provide you with the tools with which to eat. Your cutlery and crockery is not the problem of the state, the state feels." Prison in Macedonia is a story from Tamara's travels to her almost-homeland, Macedonia. It is a sad and happy story, and makes a great accompaniment to Tamara's other recent, equally powerful, zine, I am Natasha, which you can find elsewhere in this catalogue.
Rhetorical #8
$3 A6 16p 11g
"I find zines difficult to make. Well, to finish – I keep ripping them apart, starting over, re-writing & then giving up after getting too self-conscious. But I enjoy making them & I kinda need to make them; to create rather than to passively consume." The introduction to issue #8 of Chiara's Rhetorical zine sums up the problem of zine making. The problem that is also the purpose, maybe. In this issue Chiara writes about Reading Ellen Willis' recent essay collection Out of the Vinyl Deeps and seeing Wild Flag play in Sydney. It's about more than those things, too, but they're the starting point, and it's illustrated in Chiara's distinctively cool/school notebook-scratchy style.
Rhetorical #9
$3 A6 16p + foldout 16g
"I'm not a singer. I was kicked out of school choir in year 5 (I snuck back in), failed at Singstar in high school (barely able to register any notes) and still mime my way through any rendition of Happy Birthday…" In issue #9 of Rhetorical Chiara writes about setting herself the challenge to sing in her band and more notes about pop/unpop music, with a special focus Mary Timony.
Sex Industry Apologist #1
$3.70 A5 Temporarily sold out
"From 2002 to 2009 I worked at a project for sex workers. I wanted to work there because it was non-judgemental about sex work and was user-led. I was aware that mainstream politicians, the mainstream media, and mainstream (as well as supposedly 'radical') feminism were generally uninterested in the diversity of sex workers' experiences… [S]ex workers are frequently absent from discussions about what's best for them… This zine uses media articles from the last several years as a springboard for me to articulate my issues with ill-informed portrayal of sex work – or those working to a specific political agenda, namely the eradication of sex work."
Sex Industry Apologist #2
$3.70 A5 32p 42g Temporarily sold out
"I'm a white queer feminist with a degree in sociology and gender studies and a general interest in marginalised and misrepresented groups. I should note here that my zine, like my previous work, focuses on prostitution rather than porn, stripping, or other forms of sex work. I'm interested in those too, but they're not my area of expertise so I'm not talking about them here." The second issue of Nine's zine that aims to bust your misconceptions, prejudice informed opinions and general wrong-headedness about sex work and sex workers.
Sing me to Sleep: An annotated bibliography of sad boy songs
$4 A5 28p
Description coming soon.
Strange: Seven Times with You
$2 A6 24p 15g
"I saw his profile on gaydar. He was cute. A small build and a cheeky face. In one image he's wearing white underwear and reclining strangely. I can't tell if it's serious or not. I message him. He replies. I don't remember what was said but at some stage I gave him my number…" An account of a love affair that was never meant to last, but that the author can't help but feeling emotionally caught up in.
$1.50 A6 56p 38g
An ambiguous, melancholy love letter to Sydenham, the (soon to be?) former industrial suburb of Sydney. This cut and paste style zine features a mix of original writing and quotes juxtaposed with images to explore identity through place.
Taking Things Too Far

"An anarchist zine about feelings & monsters. A feminist zine about violent protests & the song 'Love is a Battlefield.' An excessively constructed personal zine… This zine is about the same things I've been making zines about for however long. Anger, & how to use it without burning off all other emotions. What it is to move through this world in this body. What it is to live as a woman & an anarchist. The collective projects of trying to learn to live."

"We are some anarchists writing and living in Sydney. We are interested in exploring the particulars of our situation here while remaining connected to struggle everywhere. We are interested in reflecting on the spaces we inhabit within capitalism, on what cracks appear and what opportunities for resistance are present. When we return to anarchism, it's not as an identity or a creed but as a space we move through, a point of abstraction, an accumulation of ideas of liberation and attack."

This issue of TMT uses UK band The Fall and author H P Lovecraft as an excuse to talk about class and other things. To quote a nice review of it that Thomas wrote for Three Thousand: "Of the thousands of articles written about both parties, I have read few that delve quite so deeply; the whole zine only discusses a mere twelve words from one Fall song, but never seems to be scrabbling around for new things to say about them. Even if you're fairly well-versed on the two wordsmiths, Tomorrow's Machines Today #2 is great window into the fanaticism they can both still provoke." Thanks, Thomas.

"I really wish I'd been born a boy; it's easy then, 'cause you don't have to keep trying to be one all the time…" I am going to steal the description my friend over at Disassembly Line gave for this zine in a recent blog post: "[A] view into their childhood and teenage years through the music they loved. It remembers how this music brought the possibilities of the world to them at the same time as showing the limitations of the world – music is used as a means to analyse the impositions and limits put on growing up a teenage girl by gender constructs and expectations."

"In 1976, it was a good time in Madrid. Franco was dead. The city, the whole country was coming out from underneath his heavy hand. I was nineteen, full of energy, full of desire. Like so many others, so many other young people, I had fled to the capital from the small town in which I'd grown up, from the sun and the seasons and the sheep and the dry, rocky hills. I had come hungry for my life to begin, to explode. And it did." We have stocked a few of Tamara Lazaroff's zines over the years and they just get better and better. This may be her best yet. The story of a young woman who travels around Europe after the fall of the fascist regime in Spain. It is about carrying hope, even after experiencing things that seem purpose-designed to break us.
Trabajar en una Tienda
$5 A5 72p
Trabajar en una Tienda is a compilation of writing, comics, drawings and collages from zines that Emma D (Tomorrow's Machine Today, Digging, Nearly Healthy, Underground Fairylands etc) made between 1999 and 2005, as a teenager and in her early twenties. Some of the zines excerpted include: Telly Narcosis, Penny Sentinel, Disobedient and By the Time You're Twenty-Five. Trabajar en una Tienda focuses mostly on the illustrative and visual aspects of these zines and charts how Emma's style evolved in a stop-start manner as she attempted to find time to make zines and art as an antidote to her unfortunate reliance on wage-labour. Over half the pages of Trabajar en una Tienda were printed in blue and orange/red on the Rizzeria, Sydney's collectively owned risograph printer, with the remainder photocopied in standard black and white.

High Stakes
Now three years old, Michigan's medical marijuana law is still getting sorted out
Published: November 2, 2011
Marijuana has twice played a role in bringing significant changes to the life of Barb Agro.
The first time was a blessing.
A former police dispatcher, the 71-year-old great-grandmother from Lake Orion suffers from arthritis in both of her knees.
"It's really bad," she says.
Because she's allergic to aspirin, she used Tylenol to ease the pain for years. "But the amount I had to take was so much," she says. "I worried about it damaging my kidneys."
Then her son Nick gave her a brownie made with marijuana when she visited him at his home in Colorado several years ago. And her life immediately changed for the better.
"It was like a godsend," is how she describes the effect the controversial medicine had on her. "It was amazing. I could sleep without any problem because I wasn't in any pain."
So she persuaded her husband Sal to give it a try. A retired GM worker, he'd also spent four decades coaching youth sports.
"That gruff Italian guy who's really a big marshmallow," is the way he's described in one newspaper article.
But all those years of throwing footballs and baseballs took their toll. He had bone spurs on his neck and shoulders. "He couldn't lift his arms over his head," says Barb.
The pot worked for him too.
So the views of this hard-nosed coach and his wife, who had spent years working around cops, changed.
"Talk about doing a complete turnaround," Barb says.
Like most parents, they had taken a tough stance regarding drugs when their three sons were in their teens. "We told them we better not find any of that stuff in the house," recalls Barb, talking with the Metro Times from her winter home in Wildwood, Fla.
Now she's a convicted felon, and her husband of 45 years is dead from a heart attack suffered a week after Oakland County narcotics officers wearing masks and wielding weapons raided their home and confiscated 17 plants the Agros believed were being grown legally under the medical marijuana law voters approved in November 2008.
As the third anniversary of that ballot measure's passage is being marked this week, medical marijuana proponents are trying to figure out how to deal with a series of setbacks, as municipalities, police, prosecutors and the courts do their best to put a chokehold on the law.
Leading the way is state Attorney General Bill Schuette.
While still serving as an appellate court judge, Schuette helped create the group Citizens Protecting Michigan's Kids to spearhead the campaign to defeat that act, known as Proposal 1 on the ballot. That effort proved to be a spectacular failure, with 63 percent of the state's voters disregarding the dire warnings being sounded by Schuette and others opposed to allowing patients access to pot.
Since being elected Michigan's chief law enforcement officer one year ago, he's acquired newfound power to continue waging the battle against medical marijuana, the patients who use it, the caregivers who grow it, and the dispensaries where it is sold.
As attorney general, Schuette is able to set the tone for cops and prosecutors across the state. And the legal opinions that he writes, though lacking the force of law, are given careful consideration by the state's judges and help inform their decisions.
What Schuette's critics say is that he construes the law in the narrowest possible terms, with his opposition to marijuana bordering on an obsession. As a result, patient access to medicine is being curtailed and there is a growing sense among some that, rather than providing them with protection, the law has become a kind of trap for those who adhere to the spirit of the measure but don't follow it to the letter.
"It's gotten really scary for a lot of people," says Brandy Zink, who is with the group Americans for Safe Access. "For some, the feeling is that having a medical marijuana card is like having a target on your back. Because of what the state is doing, they are considering going back underground."
Others, she says, are looking for ways to fight back.
The Agros can be counted among them.
House of cards
After the state's medical marijuana law took effect, Sal and Barb Agro became certified patients. Rather than smoke it, they preferred to ingest their medicine in baked goods made with marijuana butter. They also used topical marijuana oil, rubbing it on sore joints to help alleviate the pain.
One problem with the law is there is no explicit provision allowing for these types of products. It is one of many so-called gray areas that have thrown a cloud of confusion over the whole issue.
In fact, few things about the law seem indisputable. But this much is certain: Patients who receive a recommendation from a doctor and register with the state are allowed to grow as many as 12 plants and possess as much as 2.5 ounces of smokable marijuana.
Those unable to grow their own pot can designate someone else to be their "caregiver." Caregivers, like patients, must be certified by the state. Each caregiver can have as many as five patients. Because caregivers can also be patients, it is possible that a single caregiver with the maximum number of patients can have has many as 72 plants growing at any one time.

Calling the deal on the fiscal cliff "not perfect," outgoing US Senator Scott Brown (R-Wrentham) endorsed the plan in his final days in office.
He says it ''protects 99 percent of Americans from a massive tax increase," according to an Associated Press report. Brown had supported a no-tax pledge.
The deal raises taxes on individual incomes over $400,000 and over $450,00 for household incomes and a portion of estates more than $5 million. The comprise allows Congress to have more time to work on government spending.

The boys lacrosse team had a single goal this season: Repeat as winner of the Tournament of Champions.
The Panthers achieved that feat Saturday night by beating Delbarton 11-5 Saturday night at Kean University, finishing the season a perfect 21-0 and extending their overall winning streak to 36 games.1st 2nd 3rd 4th FINAL Bridgewater (21-0) 3 5 2 1 11 Delbarton (16-6) 0 1 1 3 5
Bridgewater played as the powerhouse they've been all season. Jumping out to a five-goal lead, the offense seemed to score at will and kept Delbarton guessing as to what weapon would come next while keeping the Green Wave back on their heels.
Anchored by Zack Jones in goal, defenders Evan Mock, Connor Murphy, Jared Kaden and Andrew Hengemuhle, the Panthers held Debarton at bay the entire game. Jones tallied 12 saves in Saturday's game.
"It is the most trust can have in a defense," Scott Beida said. "I don't think another team can have that much trust in a defense. I know when I am sitting on that 50-yard line, we're fine, we're going to get the ball back, we are going to be OK. We know it is going to happen. Our defense is that good."
But it was Beida who single-handedly outscored Delbarton with six goals and an assist.
"It is funny to say, but me and Ryan (Hollingsworth), it was just the backdoor cuts and we had four of them," Beida said. "It was just a head nod and you go."
A pair of goals by Justin Higgins, and goals from Ray Mastrioanni, John Longordo and Hollingsworth completed the Bridgewater scoring.
"Missing Vince Colitriano is a big loss. Vince has been a really big part of our team. They just rallied and decided it wasn't going to deter us. They had it in their minds that it was going to be tougher, but it was going to be do-able. We have a lot of great kids, Vince was a big part of it. Everybody stepped up and made it possible"—Bridgewater coach Chuck Apel
"I've been off the last two games, but you can't take away that Tripp (Telesco of Ridgewood) was one of the best defenders I've ever gone against. Our team is just so deep. Any day a person could their day. That is why this team is so great. The Ridgewood game show us if we get down we can get back up. We just rolled off of that game and played as hard as we could."—Scott Beida
"It is great to have our goal. It is crazy to be here now. All the years of rec, the hard practices, the two-a-day's, all those years finally paid off. It feels amazing."—Shane Carmody
"I am speechless right now. It is just crazy. I don't know how to describe it. To do this two years in a row. To set the goal at the beginning of the season and be able to fulfill it again. It is unbelievable."—Ray Mastrioanni
"It is great to win this twice. This was our goal from the beginning of the season, all the work we do, it all comes down to this game. We knew their tendencies and what they would be doing so we just came out to a great start at 5-0 and we just rolled from there."—Justin Higgins
"It's amazing. Last year we won by a goal and it was close. This year we came out, we executed our plan to a "T." We did everything we wanted to do and it shows on the scoreboard."—John Longordo
"It feels awesome. Two years in a row, it couldn't be better. I love every single one of these seniors, all the other kids who helped us get where we are now, even the kids from last year. I want to give a "shout out" to my coach growing up, MG, Ryan Hollingsworth's dad. He coached me from 3rd grade all the way up to high school and he let Caoch Apel take over in a great spot. He taught us how to play lacrosse, he taught us about life and how to win games and how to do it with character. I can't thank him enough for that."—Mike DiPascali

Over the next few weeks, people will have access to a wonderful collection of handmade quilts.
"Quilts & Other Home Furnishings" is on display at Art Works in Johnstown!, 413 Third Ave. in the Cambria City section of Johnstown.
The show features the quilts of Barbara Yerger of Westmont along with pottery by Helen Gorsuch of Altoona and woodworkings by Terrence Werner of Johnstown.
The works will be on view through Nov. 2.
Theresa Gay Rohall, arts center executive director, said this will be Yerger's first show in the area.
"She has entered some of her quilts individually into competitions in the eastern part of the state and has won blue ribbons and Best of Show," Rohall said.
Yerger prefers to make quilts using an applique style.
Applique is an ornamental needlework in which pieces of fabric are sewn onto a large piece of fabric to form pictures or patterns.
"I find applique easier to do," said Yerger, who traces her quilting roots to the time she was in nursing school and picked up a quilt-making kit at Wanamaker's department store in Philadelphia.
She later married her husband, Jack, and the couple have three sons.
"We had them pretty close together, so I stopped quilting and concentrated on being a wife and mother," she said. "Now that I'm older, I went back to quilting and found a great hobby."
Yerger uses old techniques such as ruching and trapunto, techniques that produce a puffy, decorative feature; and embroidery and the new methods of fabric manipulation gives her quilts dimensions.
She gives much of the credit for her success to her relationship with an Amish family.
"They used to live in the Salisbury and Grantsville, Md., areas," she said. "When Emma (the matriarch) died, I continued working with her daughter and granddaughter, who have since relocated to Indiana and Illinois."
She relies on the Amish women who hand quilt her tops. Amish quilting continues to be prized, especially with the advent of machine quilting.
"I have formed a good relationship with them and found the Amish to be wonderful, caring and talented people," Yerger said.
She sends the women the top, filling and bottom to have them quilt finished.
"They do the intricate stitching, which brings out the design and detail of each quilt," Yerger said.
She has made everything from baby quilts to one that would cover a queen-sized bed.
She will show about 15 quilts that she made and are on loan from people who obtained them.
Yerger's love of nature and gardening are evident in many of the subjects she chooses for her quilts.
She likes doing other tasks such as needlepoint, pillows, rugs and chair coverings.
"I have three sons and a husband and they all wear needlepoint belts that I have made," she said.
All three artists in the exhibit are self-taught and share a love a nature, which is reflected in their work.
"Everyone should come out to see the love and caring that each of these artists bring to their medium," Rohall said. "People will be inspired."
Gorsuch's ceramic works are often satirical comments on human behavior.
She designs and hand-builds a limited number of sculptures each year. The artist describes her anthropomorphic creations as "colorful, whimsical, and fun."
Werner has dabbled in a variety of media and found his love of wood a highlight for his career.
"He loves the feel of wood, the quietness of hand tools and being able to bring his love of nature into his works," Rohall said.
An opening reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday. All three artisans will be on hand to talk about their work.
In conjunction with the show, Art Works is raffling two handmade quilts. Both quilts are designed and created by Yerger and quilted by an Amish woman.
The handmade quilts are on display at Art Works.
The winners of the quilts will be drawn at Art Works on Nov. 9.

February 14, 2013
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A U.S. judge has approved Transocean Ltd.'s agreement with the Justice Department to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge and pay $400 million in criminal penalties for its role in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The judge accepted Transocean's plea and imposed the agreed-upon sentence during a hearing Thursday. The Swiss-based drilling company could have withdrawn from the deal if she had rejected it.
Transocean agreed last month to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating the Clean Water Act. The company also agreed to pay $1 billion in civil penalties. A different judge will decide whether to accept that part of the settlement.
Transocean owned the rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded and sank over BP's Macondo well. The accident killed 11 men.

A months-old phone scam where callers convince locals that they need to wire money to a family member in need was recorded five times in the last 24 hours, prompting Suffolk County Police to issue a fresh warning about the racket.
"In one scenario, the caller claims that they have just been in a motor vehicle crash with a relative of the victim who refuses to pay for the damage," Suffolk police said in a statement. "Other scenarios may include the caller claiming a family member of the victim has been arrested and needs money for bail, or a family member owes someone money. The victim is asked to withdraw money from an ATM and the caller will guide them to an institution where they can wire money."
Though police have issued warnings about this scam since November 2012, similar schemes have been reported in the past few years.
If you receive a similar call, call the police immediately.

Comments about Electric EGB2S Goggles - gloss black/bronze-silver chrome lens:
Always liked Electric, debated between these and the Spy Marshall.
Incredible deal on these (half off) as with lots of gear this year, so I pulled the trigger.
First impression was they are big, but I am coming from some old dragon DX goggles... I am new to the spherical lenses. I don't have a helmet so not sure of the fit with Helmet.
They are really light and the triple layer against the face is nice and comfy.
Went with these instead of the huge EG2's and I am glad. Once I put them on they felt great, and what a view! I have a small nose so a little adjusting once in a while is in order for me, no big deal. I suggest you try them as well as others at some store before buying, I think they fit medium to big faces. I chanced it because of the incredible deal and got lucky with the fit for my face.
Went to Kirkwood and it was 55 degrees, had no problems, when bombing groomers didn't have the air push into my eyes like my last goggles. I can't say how they handle extreme weather yet but I am sure they will be fine. They seem to be really well made and the lens (bronze/blue chrome) was great in the sun.
So all in all I am happy with the purchase. I paid $88..I think they are $160 regular price, so I can't complain.

Comments about Electric EGB2S Goggles - toxic snot/bronze-green chrome lens:
These goggles are the bomb! You can see the whole mountain with no blind spots!!! Amazing! They fit great with my Smith Optics helmet and look fab too, No gaper's gap. If you're a night rider you might want to purchase a yellow or night time lens though because the one that comes with it is for sunny to flat conditions but kind of too dark for nighttime. Great goggles, I will definitely recommend to all my friends!!!

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — "Keys, Strings & Other Things" live music series presents its 2013 fall show, featuring pianist Philip Wesley.
The show is 7 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church in Danville, 95 N. Jefferson St. While the show is held in a church building, it is in no way intended to promote any particular religious point of view.
The road to the piano for Wesley has not been a straight path. Born and raised in St. Louis, Wesley was an avid fan of music during his youth, but surprisingly did not begin playing an instrument until the age of 16 when he received a guitar for Christmas. He taught himself to read and write guitar tablature and became a proficient guitarist; but that was not to be his instrument of choice.
When Wesley entered college a few years later, he decided to major in music therapy. During his studies of music and music theory, he was introduced to the solo piano music of David Lanz and was instantly mesmerized by it. At the age of 20, Wesley began his long relationship with the piano.
"People hear that I didn't start playing the piano until age 20 and they are almost always amazed," he said in a press release. "I tell people that it's not too late to learn something new. When you have the drive, the passion, the dedication, and the curiosity to learn something, new doors will open for you."
Upon graduation from college, Wesley worked as a board certified psychiatric music therapist for nearly 10 years. During that time he began writing his own soulful piano music, developing his musical voice, and subsequently releasing his albums. To date he has released six albums of solo piano music including "Dark Night of the Soul," which reached No. 1 in his genre. This album continues to be one of the best-selling albums on CD Baby.
