After more than a year of planning and negotiations, the Hopatcong Warriors will be able to call the Wayne L. Threlkeld Hilltop Sports Complex their home.
The youth football league reached an agreement with the Hopatcong Board of Education at last week's meeting to share the field for all sports activities.
The field, currently used for the high school's football practices and soccer games, will now allow the Warriors to use the field for its youth football program.
In exchange for the field license, the Warriors will be responsible for completing a number of improvements on the fields.
The football league agreed to expand field No. 1 by 80 feet in width for the entire length of the field, and replace all of the fencing.
Warriors General Trustee Dave Barella said the Warriors are also considering adding a fourth field.
A new field house will be built next to the Hopatcong High School storage facility that will be used as both a concession stand and a storage unit.
The team also agreed to widen the access road from Lakeside Boulevard to the top of the Hilltop Complex, mill the entire parking lot and stripe for parking, and install safety guard rails aound the whole property.
Barella said new lighting around field will also be put on field one.
The renovations will solely rely on volunteers, donations, and funding from the Chris Anderson Memorial Field Foundation.
Although all of the improvements will be made in phases over the next few years, Barella said some of the work has already begun.
He said Rich Hoer, of Lakeside Construction, has already started to work on the parking lot.
Barella said that while not everything will be done by next season, the team is hoping to start practice by the summer.
"It's our hope that we will be able to get the whole program up there by Aug. 1 next year," Barella said. "We're hoping to have the lights in place, and the concession and storage building in place."
Hopatcong Superintendent Dr. Charles Maranzano referred to the plan as a "win-win," as it will benefit multiple groups in the borough.
"The town gets more use of the existing fields, the Warriors get a place they can call home, and the school board gets needed improvements that we can't afford at this point in time," Maranzano said.
"It demonstrates the power when you combine recreational interests with school interests, and you combine your resources," he said. "It becomes a very powerful vehicle for accomplishing something. With the spirit of volunteerism in town and support for athletics, this is clearly a win-win for both the school and the Warriors."

Jan Schakowsky: 'I Grew Up in a Different America'

On Friday, I posted part one of my interview with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, in which she promoted her new jobs bill and blasted Republicans who "are willing to bring the economy down" to defeat President Obama. Here's part two, in which she discusses why she broke down during a recent meeting with constituents, how middle-class America is disappearing, and more.
CF: On the president's vacation in Martha's Vineyard, a hot topic, what do say about that?
JS: Nothing.
CF: Is that the same as no comment?
JS: Yeah.
CF: There's a chorus of people saying, "A five-week break for members of Congress is ridiculous—who gets five weeks of vacation? They ought to be back in D.C. working."
JS: Of course it isn't five weeks of vacation at all. My constituents certainly wouldn't think I've been on vacation; I've been all over. I was at the Norridge senior center; the Norwood Park senior center. We had the announcement of my jobs bill—really kind of a rally of over 100 people. Sunday, I'm going to Springfield to speak to the Illinois State Council of Machinists Union. I'm doing a Business and Employment Expo in Skokie. I'm going to be speaking with the Jane Addams Senior Caucus in Chicago; I'm going to tour a business in Evanston. I've organized a roundtable with municipalities and school districts to connect them to federal resources.
[After this recitation she revisists the subject of the President vacationing in Martha's Vineyard.]
JS: I do want to comment on the president taking off time and going to a place of his choice. If he's relaxed and comfortable somewhere with his family, then I say more power to him to go there. I think it is so petty. I have no problem with any choice that he makes.
CF: The meetings with your constituents that you mention—were they calmer than the angry, loud town halls of the summer of 2009?
JS: I think the Republicans are experiencing this more than we are, the raucous crowds, and that started with the [Congressman Paul] Ryan plan which literally destroys Medicare. They can call their proposal whatever they want—they can call it "sort of care," "maybe care," "I don't care"—but they cannot call it Medicare because the chief feature of Medicare is that there is a guaranteed benefit. They send the seniors out to the not-so-loving arms of the insurance industry to find an insurance policy that might cover them. My constituents are nervous; they're very nervous about what's going to happen to Medicare. They're nervous about unemployment benefits being cut off. They're frightened about losing their homes, about a double dip.
CF: Are we in a double dip now?
JS: I'm not going to characterize it that way. But I cosponsor some foreclosure workshops. One out of four homes in the USA is under water. You go to these workshops, and there's a room full of people, one at Truman College, which was just loaded with people of all different ethnicities and ages and income levels. Also one in Des Plaines, which is solid suburban, middle-class and, again, all ages. People are totally depressed—not angry, but depressed. I actually had to walk out because I was so moved by it, and cried a bit. I felt like I was watching the American dream just slip through their fingers. I stood behind one fellow in his mid-50s who did rehab stuff in homes. He had a little manila folder with his monthly bills, and he said, "I've had very little work, and here's my bills. What am I supposed to do?" They felt like the banks were bailed out, and now the banks are foreclosing on their homes, and who's gonna bail them out? Then I was at Norwood Park the beginning of last week, and this man came up to me. He just looked at me and he said, "I am 100 percent dependent on the government. I get my veterans benefits; I get my social security; I don't know what I would do if those things are cut. That's my life." And tears started running down his face. The sense that I want to counter is that somehow we are helpless in the face of these crises, and of course we're not. It's Congress, and it's the Republicans that are completely out of step here and obstructionist when it comes to real solutions. And they've pretty clearly stated that at least a major motivation is that they want to defeat Barack Obama, so they are not really interested in the economy working and improving and people going back to work, even though that's their rhetoric.
CF: After all your work-related commitments, will you return to Michigan City?
JS: No. My brother-in-law is the head of the Federal Aviation Administration in Brussels for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. We're going to go see him, and then a friend of mine, Fay Levin, who is the ambassador to the Netherlands. We're going to visit her in the Hague. [Levin, an Obama bundler, will leave that post in September.]
CF: Is your Michigan City house on the water?
JS: Across the road from the water. I grew up summers here as a kid. I've been on this Michigan City beach for sixty-some years. It's kitty-corner from what was my family's house that my father literally built. I grew up summers on this beach, and it was a different place. We're not far from the steel mills in Indiana and on the South Side of Chicago. You could have one worker in a family—good union job at the steel mills, health care for their family, a pension that they could count on. You could live a middle-class life. You could potentially even have, and a lot did, a little cabin, not heated for the winter, but a little cabin on the lake and the spouse and family could go for the summer there, and that was what America was about. I grew up in a different America, where everyone was on board with the idea of a robust middle class and that people who worked in a factory could still lead a middle-class life.
CF: In your beach community, you don't see steel workers with cottages anymore?
JS: Oh, no, those are all tear downs. It's a whole different community out here now, mostly of weekend people. There are some super-duper—and they may call it a beach house—but pretty fabulous mansions on the beach now.
CF: Former Mayor Rich Daley lives nearby. Do you ever see him?
JS: He used to bike by sometimes and stop and chat. I haven't seen Rich Daley lately and I don't know if he's coming out much.

What's with the Michigan City stuff? What difference does it make if she has a house on the "water"? If you were just curious, ok. But it seems to detract from the issues related to your questions.
Otherwise I really like your work.
She grew up in a different America? We all did. And her parents grew up in an America different than the one she grew up in. So thats the way the world work. there's no point in being wistful for the past. It doesn't address our problems. My problem with this Congressman is that she is as strident in her way as Tea Party members are in theirs, and it results in a lack of comity which produces the gridlock that is our greatest threat.
Hello Kitty:
The Michigan City mention is relevant because it speaks to a recurring point that Schakowsky makes, that the middle/working class (i.e. steel workers, the Des Plaines rehabber, etc.) are no longer living "the American dream," as she put it--and specifically those steel workers and their families are no longer enjoying summers on the beach on which the Congressman reminisced about spending 60 or so summers.

The problem with so many peachy philosophical ideas like communism, religion, Ghandhism, socialism, passivism, peace/love is that idealists try to implement them. Then the rest of us get involved because it won't work with just a couple of people really, would it. And that less committed group is in it for less than pristine reasons, i.e. make a buck. So as the 1000 years of Rome or Hitler fell apart, the 100 years of America is falling to the termite bites of "what's in it for me". Recently the Supreme Courts made ours the only democracy that can legally buy it's legislatures. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past". Farewell Michigan City.

Lions gridders have good numbers, make progress
- Last Updated on 05:22 PM 08/02/12
- BY Joe Chandler
It has been a big week for football, and it's not confined to Halifax County High School.
The Halifax County Middle School football team also kicked off practice this week, and Head Coach Frank Shealy is pleased with both the number of players that have turned out for the team and the progress that is being made.
"We've had good numbers so far, and are anticipating a few more players coming out," Shealy said after Wednesday afternoon's drills.
"We had 52 kids come out Monday, and we're at 60 or 61 now, which is typical. I know we have several kids away on vacation, and have some kids that have been playing baseball and are just getting their vacations over with. I'm expecting more to come in the next few days.
Shealy noted he had 22 players from last year's team that were eligible to return this season, and 17 of them were on the field Wednesday.
"I know a couple of them have moved," Shealy explained, "and the reason others that are missing are explained. I've talked to most of them."
The Lions' coach says this season is going to be a rebuilding year in some respects.
"We've lost a lot of talent," he pointed out.
"We've lost a lot of starters. We're kind of in a rebuilding year, but we've got some key people in a few key spots on offense and defense that know what they're doing. We can build our new offense around those guys and go from there."
One of the ingredients Shealy is missing this season is size. Shealy had a core group of big linemen last year. Comparatively speaking, the Lions will be smaller up front.
"We don't have a lot of size, but with the offense the high school team runs, you need fast linemen," Shealys aid.
"We have a few big guys, and we're going to get them in the right spots."
Last year Shealy had more players come out for the team that he had equipment for and had to cut a small handful of them. This year is different.
"Right now, I don't have enough players to be forced to have to make cuts," Shealy remarked.
"Coach Roark (Halifax County High School Head Coach Michael Roark) wants me to keep them all, so, if at all possible, I'm going to keep them all. My objective is to keep as many (players) as I can."
Shealy said that while it is early, he is pleased with what he has seen on the practice field the first three days of this week.
"We're off to a good start," he said.
"I'm pleased with what I've seen so far. We're conditioning, we're learning and we're figuring what the guys can do for us."
Shealy said that on Monday he will put helmets on the players that had participated in all five days of drills this week. That group of players will then don shoulder pads on Tuesday, and move on to full gear on Wednesday.
Players that did not participate in drills for all of the first five days will be transitioned into helmets and pads as they complete the necessary prerequisites.
While the coaches are teaching and the players are put through a variety of drills, conditioning will be a big focus as the team moves forward.
"We've got to get them in shape after they've been sitting around all summer," Shealy pointed out.
"A few of them have been playing baseball, so they're in pretty good shape. But, we have a few of them that have just been sitting around. Getting the kids in shape is one thing I've been talking with the other coaches about. Even in our drills, they need to be running, they need to push their bodies to get in shape."
Shealy pointed out that how hard the kids work and how quickly they can learn what is being taught will be huge factors in the team's success.
"Our first game is August 22," Shealy pointed out, "which is pretty quick. We have a new offense and a new defense to learn, a lot to put in, plus get the kids in shape. There is a lot to do in a short period of time."

"The card was great I use my own photos an the quality was outstanding, I also like the Idea that I could order a small amount. an can reorder when I need more. It is worth the investment."
"I just graduated from college and ordered these to market myself at professional and networking events. These cards are absolutely gorgeous and will definitely do the job. And for the record, I am an extremely picky person when it comes to anything bearing my name. Beautifully printed on luxurious card stock, I would highly recommend these. Thanks TinyPrints!"
"I am very impressed with these Unique Style business cards. They far exceeded my expectations. Everything about them -- quality, execution, design -- even their prompt delivery, blew me away. Their unique design makes them stand out from other more conventional business cards and people are always commenting on that. I was able to personalize the cards to my specific business needs by selecting different fonts and images, and there were even background color options to choose from as well. Overall, I am very please with Tiny Prints."
"This business card is simply beautiful. I designed it for my art business and used images of my own artwork. The quality is excellent. I have gotten many, many compliments. I'm so thrilled with the outcome!"
"I received my business cards yesterday and I am so pleased with them. The paper quality is outstanding and the printing is very crisp and professional. Design/ordering process was very easy too, although I did have some trouble centering my logo. I noted that and the proof looked perfect. Easy to add my logo and information in."

Diner Reviews
We were there a little late due to
traffic and hostess was FABULOUS at managing to get us a great table! It was much appreciated as it was a special milestone birthday. Food was delicious. We had the yellowfin tuna and rack of lamb. Both were done nicely! The view is magnificent as always being able to catch the sunset over the ocean."

Pacific Edge was fabulous. Not
only was the ambiance, view and food delicious we had a bonus with entertainment from the many whales swimming around in the ocean. What a special evening...."

Second visit was not as memorable.
Food was ok. Hotel connected is very noisy and not worth the price."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Overall it was an amazing place to
dine. The view was amazing! Our waiter Frederick gave excellent customer service! I would recommend this to my friends and family and I would come back here in the near future."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Pasific edge met all my
expectations of what fine dining should be. I booked the hyatt for a romantic getaway for my boyfriend and i. I thought the resturant would be just as nice so I reserved that also. As we walked in around 8:30 we had the most amazing sunset view overlooking the ocean. Priceless! We got a corner table with an incredible view! The wine list was endless and the service was on point. We each had Filet mingon. I can say the best I've ever had. Well worth the cost. I definitely recommend it! See you all soon!!"
Dined on 7/18/2014
We had a nice dinner, but their
prices are not competitive w/ most of the best restaurants in Carmel. Go there if money doesn't matter. No complaints on the food or service. The ambience and views are great, but next time we'll eat in Carmel 1/2 the cost."

Frozen peas used with the salmon
dish fell short for me with a plate price of $32. Besides my poor selection of entree it was extremely nice"
Dined on 7/9/2014
We were given a nice table facing
the window on the 2nd level where we both had to sit on the same side.The hostess greeted us and said Happy Anniversary and told us it was a special anniversary table. Unfortunately, that evening it wouldn't have mattered where anyone sat as the coast was fogged in. The server took very good care of us. We didn't have to wait long for anything. We each ordered an appetizer. My husband ordered tuna tartar which he said was good. I ordered the heirloom caprese. The tomatoes were not that good. We both ordered steak for our dinner. Mine was a filet. It was good, but not foodie good. My husbands steak was good too. However, We've had great steak elsewhere for a lot less money. The wine list was decent."
Dined on 7/5/2014
This place has one of the best
views in the area. And the food and service match the view. It is a little expense (including appetizer, entree, share side, shared dessert and wine with tax and tip it was around $220 for 2). But it was a special occasion and well worth it."

amazing food. Great service. If
you are in the area, go!!!!"
Dined on 7/4/2014
I was underwhelmed by the
experience. Too much hype about the view but not really impressed .overpriced cocktails that tasted watered down, food was overpriced and acceptable at best. The band was loud could hear them in the dining room. Been all over the world ... Only the view was world class. Price does not match the value of the dining experience."
Dined on 7/4/2014
Brought in a bevy of exceptional
wines and the very classy somm was utterly superb – Don? Extra/special requests were honored wonderfully by Bart. Absolutely terrific experience at the best table in the house (as per request). Will always be a personal favorite recommended to all special visitors."

This is a great restaurant with an
awesome view. If price is not an issue this is the restaurant of choice in Carmel."

Came to celebrate our 30th
anniversary and they didn't disappoint... we were seated in the corner with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, and were treated wonderfully by all the staff. Definitely worth it."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Absolutely amazing view. The food
was very good - not great, but good. Not a foodies paradise, but more than acceptable. The service from our waiter left much to be desired. He was just not friendly. The young man who brought our bread was exceptionally personable, but the waiter seemed quite cold. I will recommend for the view alone."

A little different life experience
but I asked my future mother-in-law for her daughters hand in marriage. She's a single mom and her daughter is her world. I so wanted this night to be her night, for her to feel completely comfortable and special. We arrived and for the first 10 minutes all I heard was her gasping at how amazing and breathtaking this restaurant was. When I made the reservation I requested a table with a view for a special occasion. Little did I know they were seating us at THE TABLE! It was a corner table for two that had te premier seating and view in the entire restaurant! The evening went so much better than I could have ever hoped for. We ordered a Bordol wine, filet mignon, ravioli, side of potato grais ad asparagus"
Dined on 6/27/2014
The view is spectacular! Only dine
here if the day is clear and you can watch the sunset. If food is more important than the view for you, then I would dine elsewhere."
Dined on 6/26/2014
This was an all-around terrible
dining experience, irrespective of the cost of the meal. The service was terrible and the food was even worse. The only saving graces were a nice bottle of wine and lovely views."
Dined on 6/26/2014
We loved everything about this
restaurant. The scenery overlooking the prestine Carmel coastline was picture perfect and the food was wonderful. I highly recommend it for any special occasion."
Dined on 6/25/2014
Can't beat the view! Wonderful
steaks, but very pricey! Price of wine is ... High! Accommodating, friendly staff."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Spectacular view! The food was
really good, too! Attentive, courteous service. They don't seem to enforce their dress code too firmly, as I saw jeans and flip flops on the premises... Wine is a bit on the expensive side, as most bottles were >$100. Single glasses were much more reasonable, but I did note many of the expensive wines were rare finds."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Our food must have come not 10 or
15 minutes after ordering. The service was very quick! The view was spectacular. Later in the evening it did get a little noisy, and I don't recall any muzak to add to the class, but the dining was fine. They opened the blinds during sunset; I definitely recommend going later in the evening (in summer) to make that part of your experience."
Dined on 6/18/2014
The Best view ever and very good
food. The sunset was spectacular and overall a great experience"
Dined on 6/16/2014
A spectacular view of the
California Carmel coastline makes the evening worth the visit itself."
Dined on 6/16/2014
The Hyatt influence has not been
kind to the Pacific's Edge food, service or ambiance. In past years, this was THE fine dining and special occasion destination on the Monterey peninsula. Not any more. The entire experience has slipped. It's still "Gary Danko" money but without the unbelievable culinary experience, superior, seamless service or elegantly subdued atmosphere. The only thing that hasn't changed...the view."
Dined on 6/15/2014
been there a year ago and
everything was pretty good, but this time, it was disappointing on all levels, service very poor and food barely edible, will not go back. a bad joke for those prices..."
Dined on 6/15/2014
The first thing you notice is the
view which is one of the best: Pacific, white water, sunset. The service was excellent, the entrees delicious. Definitely a place to go for that special occasion."
Dined on 6/15/2014
The view is great if you are by
the window. They take their time in food delivery and don't drop by the table very often, leaving you to enjoy the view and your time together. But they will jump on your needs if you ask them for something. Our dinner was about 2 hours, so if you want someplace that hurries you in and out, don't go here. If you want quiet, serene atmosphere it has it."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Nothing beats the view at the
Pacific's Edge, that has to be emphasized! The food and service were good. We had dined here a few years ago and this visit, the atmosphere was very different, not as reserved. This was pleasant and comfortable. We will probably return when in the area again, and we would definately recommend Pacific's Edge to friends."
Dined on 6/11/2014
The obvious perk is the amazing
view from this restaurant. We watched seals and whales out in the ocean as we dined. The food is superb as is the selection of wine. The service was also outstanding with several people attending to your needs. There was also live music (a piano player) and dancing in the bar. It is an expensive place to eat. Our meal for two was about $300. But that's with a bottle of $100 wine. Definitely go for a drink at the bar at least. Then you can get the view without the cost being so high. I'd go early to ensure you can get a good seat. Reservations for good tables are fairly important."
Dined on 6/7/2014
In what could have been an
incredible experience (food was excellent, views and location are amazing), our service, from the moment we entered the restaurant, was very poor. We sat for 10 minutes before anyone even came by, were poorly attended to during the evening (including the waiter being completely disconnected and uninterested), and we sat for 15 minutes for them to pick up our credit card. We complained to one of the other waiters, and he said he would talk with the manager immediately. We were expecting the manager to come and talk with us, but instead our waiter came over and without saying a word, handed us our check with a small discount..no apology or explanation. We will not go again due to this."
Dined on 6/1/2014
The ocean view is so spectacular
and the food is delicious. Service is excellent. All in all, one of my very favorite restaurants. "
Dined on 6/1/2014
My wife and i went to the Pacific
Edge for her birthday. We have been going every year fof probably 7 years usually with guests but this time we went by ourselves. The view at the restuarant is breathtaking! Great ambiance! and we have always had a special time when we go. However this time our experience was quite to the contrary. To keep this review withing the character limit that Open Table allows I will sum it up as, Poor service to our table and the one next to us, indifferent, arrogant or no service!, mediocre food at premium prices! I submitted a long review but it went way over the character limit... The details are unbelievable and i will leave it at that."
Dined on 6/1/2014
We have visited this restaurant
before as well as their lunch place the California market restaurant. Tonight was a real disappointment. The Ceasar salad had yellow romaine lettuce not green as we are use too. The server who served us bread told us if we wanted more bread just to ask him for more but we never saw him again. As far as the ambience is concerned we were really disappointed that we were fortunate to be seated near a window to view the sea. However, two other patrons were allowed to walk over to close to our table and use their I-phones to take photos of the view from the windows near our table. "
Dined on 5/27/2014
Not only is the view from this
restaurant the most spectacular I've seen in years....but the food was absolutely wonderful! We could not have been happier about our choice that night. And do yourself a favor - order a martini with blue cheese stuffed olives....perfect!"
Dined on 5/27/2014
- Great steak and veggies -
Ravioli taste was lacking - Waiter's service dropped our experience from great to less than mediocre - Wish we could have tipped everyone except the waiter - Amazing views - Price seemed about 30% too high"
Dined on 5/25/2014
The server forgot to bring the
martini with the oysters, then later forgot to bring the wild mushrooms with the entre. He offered to bring a martini, or the mushrooms later when it was too late (he didn't check in with us from the time the apps were brought out until time for dessert). All that said, the food was excellent, albeit overpriced. You pay for the view however, which was worth it."

We dined at the Pacific Edge
Restaurant last week and it was our second time. Though we did not get a window seat like last time, however, the receptionist did manage to get us a table close to the window for us to see the sunset. The prices are a bit on the pricey side but the food in general was very good. The sauce for the short ribs was a tad salty and the colour much too dark. The species for the roasted chicken was good but the meat was dry, perhaps with some sort of sauce will make the dish more tasteful. Desserts are excellent. One thing I forgot to mention that we did not get the crunchy garlic flat breads this time around, it would be nice to have them on the table the next time. "
Dined on 5/18/2014
Wonderful restaurant and view !!
This was our second time at this restaurant and when we return to the area for another vacation, we will make sure to make it a third time."
Dined on 5/17/2014
You really are paying for the view
in this restaurant. The food was average. Very pricey, $280 for dinner for 2 with one bottle of wine. I was expecting a pricey dinner. The view is beautiful, sat at a table by the window at sunset. It was wonderful. So if you are going to a restaurant looking for fabulous food, this is not the place. If you are looking for ambience and views, then this will fit. Overall it was nice, service was great. It was a busy Sat night and window tables are first come first serve, so get an early reservation of that is what you want. Our reservation was 630 PM and We got the last window table. Food, average. Service great. View beautiful. "

Bob mentioned this in his post yesterday, but it is worth repeating: Reps. Oberstar and Mica put forth a blueprint for a $450-500 billion transportation bill, but left out the not-so-small detail of how they plan to pay for a near doubling of transportation spending at the very same time that the Highway Trust Fund is (yet again) nearly broke and the gas tax has run out of gas.
This quote from Rep. Oberstar in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune offers great insight into how the federal government has run up trillions of dollars in debt:
The cost is about $450 billion over six years, nearly a doubling of the nation's current investment in infrastructure. But Oberstar's blueprint, still under construction, is silent on the key question of where the money will come from.
"What is it going to cost to deliver this? That's an issue you have to put off till the end," Oberstar said of the bill, which he expects to roll out in the coming days. "You can't talk investments and dollar amounts until you have something to show the public."
Wait...put off how to pay for it until the end?
Just the other day President Obama suggested that "pay-as-you-go" should be federal law. "Paying for what you spend is basic common sense," Obama said. "Perhaps that's why, here in Washington, it's been so elusive."
Setting aside all of the massive debt-financed spending since President Obama took office, let's assume for the moment that he actually believes the country should use PAYGO going forward. Here we are a week later and Congress wants to come up with half a trillion dollars worth of transportation spending and "put off till the end" figuring out how to pay for it.
In the real world of no free lunches, benefits come at a cost. Infrastructure is expensive. As much as policymakers would like to shift the public's attention to the projects they are championing, it's naive to assume that the increasingly bailout and deficit-weary public will buy into any "plan" offering no substance about how to pay for a $500 billion wish-list. The "trust us, we'll figure it out later" approach isn't going to pass Americans' smell test, I suspect.
For example, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds Americans are upset about the federal deficit:
"Almost 60 percent say that President Obama and Congress should worry more about keeping the deficit down — even if that means it will take longer for the economy to recover."
A lot more than 60 percent of Americans would be outraged if Congress were to try to raise the gas tax during a recession to pay for this highway bill, though by most accounts, that idea seems to be dead in the water in the White House and most corners of Congress.
So what about tapping the roughly $180 billion in private infrastructure capital that's looking for projects to invest in? As Shirley Ybarra noted yesterday, the blueprint seems to embrace transportation public-private partnerships on one hand while it tries to give the Feds authority micromanage and control them on the other. The latter will certainly have the effect of usurping states' authority, tying their hands and decreasing their flexibilty to solve their own problems. Not to mention the new layers of political risk that would be superimposed over a public-private partnership market already burdened by political risk, which tends to drive up costs and drive out competition. This isn't exactly a reassuring sign when the overarching goal is to expand the revenue pie.
Now the proposed National Infrastructure Bank may offer a partial solution (if properly set up and structured, an issue for another day). But even there, no one on Capitol Hill is talking about capitalizing it to anywhere near the level it would take to put a dent in $450+ billion in new spending both parties (through Oberstar and Mica) are calling for in this highway bill blueprint.
So all we're really left with here are more questions than answers on this "transformational" plan. What would have been truly transformational here would have been for the bill's sponsors to spend as much time thinking through the hard issues of funding as they did the politically easier issues of what their "vision" entails. Without this due diligence, I suspect Americans will view this as yet more Congressional snake oil, which isn't exactly helpful when it's more critical than ever to build broad public support for increased infrastructure investment that is focused on improving mobility and helping the economy.

Register-Herald Reporter
West Virginians Jim Justice and Chris Cline are once again among the 400 wealthiest people in the United States. This is the second consecutive year the two have made the Forbes 400 list, which was announced Thursday.
Justice, 61, a resident of Lewisburg and owner of The Greenbrier, is listed at number 298 with $1.6 billion in assets, which were acquired mostly from the state's well-known natural resource, coal.
In 2009, Justice sold his company's West Virginia coal resources to Russian mining and steel company Mechel OAO for $436 million in cash and approximately $240 million worth of Mechel preferred shares. Justice Companies still holds coal interests in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, as well as active farmland in West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky.
In 2011 Justice contributed $25 million to the Boy Scouts of America for the organization's new reserve in Fayette County.
Justice attended Marshall University, where he received a bachelor's degree and Master of Business Administration.
Cline, 54, a Raleigh County native who currently resides in North Palm Beach, Fla., is listed at number 360 with a $1.2 billion net worth. His fortune has also been made through coal.
He got into the coal business at age 21. In 1980 Cline's father bought out a mining partner for $500,000 and Cline received a share. Currently, Cline's business, Foresight Energy, produces approximately 20 million tons of coal annually predominately mined in Illinois.

I have a Polk component set, a pair in front and in rear.
I have an alpine F450 4 channel amp.
When you use the fader, and fade in front (CH 1,2) centered I have much less bass then when I move it to the left and to the right. Each speaker separate produces bass. Channel 3,4 are cool.
Alpine says I have a phase problem, so I switched around + and - channels 1,4 so as to not cancel one another out (they suggest). I also did it with 1, 2 just to see. Both attempts yield no results to correct the problem.
My final test was to unplug Ch1 all together. I found that Ch2 plays music on both L and R sides of the fade control w/ a little difference in sound quality, and visa versa.
Does anyone know whats going on here? Thanks.

Newegg has the polls on sale again and I've been thinking about a sub to round out the bookshelf setup, now I need to figure out which one to get.
First, I want the most musical option, HT is not important at all. I want something fast and tight, don't really need the deepest though.
Right now I'm looking at the DSWPro 550i and the MicroPro 1000. How much of a difference would there be in performance?
My gut tells me that the micro would do better for music given the smaller driver, but I'm not sure if its enough to justify the extra $200.
I'm not sure how long the sale is on, so I'd like to pull the trigger tonight if I can recode on something.

The Norman Transcript
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will have brother, defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, back on the sidelines against Texas for the first time since 2003.
Mike Stoops is clearly happy to once again be part of the OU-Texas game.
"There's so many things that are unique about it. Just the history of the two teams, and then playing in a historic landmark like the Cotton Bowl is very unique," he said. "There's a lot of special feelings that go into the
game. It's a neat venue. It's one of the best in college football just because of where it's at and splitting everything in half. We look forward to it every year. I think that's why you come to Oklahoma, to play in this game."
Bob Stoops, however, there's no added emotion to having his brother back on the coaching staff.
"I like riding shotgun with him into any game. I don't put any different spin on this one that I didn't last week or the week before it. Mike and I have been in a lot of games together, playing and coaching. This will be one more," he said.
"We're after it all the time. If you're all-in all the time it's hard to put another cent in," the OU head coach added.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Q&A: Former Packers' exec McKenzie says 'the culture will change' in Oakland
Mobile, Ala. --- For 18 years, Reggie McKenzie had been a mainstay in Green Bay. From 1994 to 2012, McKenzie grew from a scout to director of player personnel to director of football operations. Now, he's finally running the show in Oakland. McKenzie's first year as the Oakland Raiders' general manager was reminiscent of Ted Thompson's first year as G.M. in Green Bay. Both teams went 4-12.
As McKenzie explains, rebuilding the Raiders starts from the inside out. Here's what the Raiders boss had to say about taking over, trying to instill a new culture in Oakland and a potential change at quarterback:
Q: How has it been taking over your own team?
McKenzie: "Coming off the season we had, you're judged by wins and losses. Coming up with four wins is not good enough. But even going into, I knew what we had to get done. We're trying to change a lot of things around here, starting with the culture. We have a rookie coach, we have a rookie G.M. We kind of took our bumps here. We're getting the players we need to get in here, getting the salary cap together. I've got almost a full arsenal of draft picks. I'm missing my two and five. Wish I could have those. We'll find a way to get this thing done.
"Let me tell you something — we're moving in the right direction. And it's all about making good decisions. We have a good core of players right now. We're making sure we get the right fit of 53 players by the end of this whole process so we can start the season ready to roll."
Q: What did you learn in Green Bay with Ted Thompson?
McKenzie: "It's all about building your team — build your staff, build your locker room, put the right kind of people in. They want to be Raiders. They want to win. And it's all about the team. We had that in Green Bay."
Q: How do you change the culture?
McKenzie: "It takes time. You can change moving parts and all that. But to change the culture, that's going to take some time. I'm trying to get that back. I'm trying to get the Raider Way back. And we're going to get it done. But you change it day by day. You can't just quickly overhaul everything. That's not going to change anything."
Q: So it's about the minor changes?
McKenzie: "That helps, that helps. I'm going to continue to do that. We made some changes with the staff, which is the way we need to go. That's going to help that process. We're going to get this thing rolling. It's going to be fine now. The culture will change."
Q: What's the culture you want?
McKenzie: "When people look at us, they're going to see professionalism. They're going to see a winning attitude. They're going to be a part of a winning atmosphere. They're going to see our brand of football, which is physical, tough, high-energy play. I want people to be excited to go see a Raider game. So that's what we're trying to get to."
Q: Will Terrelle Pryor have a chance to start this year?
McKenzie: "I want Terrelle to get a shot to show himself at quarterback. I told the whole staff, everybody's going to compete for their job. So he's competing for his job. Whether he's 1, 2 or 3, he's competing for his job. Starter, that'll be carried out by coaches at the end of training camp. Show me you're competitive. You want to get better. We'll see how it goes."

I'd hope so!
This may be the toughest transition in the NFL - taking over for Al Davis . . . Davis was an icon, but had systematically destroyed the franchise over the last 10 years. The team started out lacking discipline and talent. It seems like they got the right coach to improve discipline. Now they need talent. I'd suspect that McKenzie employs the Thompson method of trading down - he needs more than 7 players.
Seems to contradict himself.
'Professionalism' and "The Raider Way" never really went together.
They prided themselves on being misfits and taking in all the outcasts. That approach would NEVER succeed in todays NFL.Hide replies
Yeah, that does seem a bit discordant, now that you mention it.

The Andover Townsman
---- — Editor, Townsman:
I know that this has been a tough time for many people trying to find quality employment, but I had never personally experienced this until a few months ago. This past spring, I had been searching for a job. After several weeks of frustration, I reached out to Sen. Barry Finegold's office to see if there was anything that they could do to help me get back on my feet. What a tremendous decision this turned out to be.
I have always known that Finegold works hard for our district every opportunity he gets. What I did not know, until I reached out to him, was how helpful he can be to me as an individual. After speaking with Finegold and his amazing staff as well, I felt hopeful that I'd be able to cut through the red tape and move on with my job search. I'm happy to say I found a job in April and am back on my feet.
Finegold truly cares about each and every person that he represents. I have always heard him speak about how there is no problem too big or too small for his office to take care of, but now I can speak from my own experience that this is true. I am going to vote to reelection him as State Senator because now I know with certainty that Finegold and his staff will always be responsive to our needs.

By GARY POPP
JEFFERSONVILLE — A mother and daughter were arrested by Jeffersonville police following an alcohol-fueled incident in Beech Grove Apartments that involved an assault on a police officer and a minor being removed from the home by Child Protective Services.
Police responded to the residence of Kimberly Wright, 50 and her daughter Dawn Wright, 29, in the apartment complex located on Allison Lane about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Officers from the Jeffersonville Police Department were dispatched after a 911 call had been made from the home, and the caller hung up. Dispatchers returned the call and reported to the officers en route that a complaint had been made that someone was beating up a child.
Police reported that on their arrival, Kimberly Wright was in the home and showed signs of intoxication that included a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and loss of balance.
Kimberly Wright told the officers that she had been in an argument with Dawn Wright over Dawn Wright's child, who was also in the home when police arrived.
"Ms. Wright stated that her daughter, Dawn, left the apartment prior to police arrival due to being intoxicated and afraid of getting in legal trouble," the officer noted in the police report.
As police were in the home, Kimberly Wright was asked several times to stop walking around the apartment so the officers could conduct their investigation. She was also asked to quit cursing and yelling due to the child being present.
"Mrs. Wright refused, attempting to push me out of the way," according to an officer's remark in the report. "I then used soft-hand contact to stop Ms. Wright from trying to push me."
According to the report, Kimberly Wright, "then started screaming, advising [her grandchild] to jump out of the window and run."
Officers spoke with the child who said that his mother and grandmother had been yelling at one another and that his mother had wrested around with him.
"[The child] stated that the believed his mother was playing, but got carried away due to her level of intoxication," according to the report.
The child said he was injured at the time by his mother falling on top of him.
When police asked Kimberly Wright to take a portable alcohol breath test, she refused and cursed at officers.
She then called 911 and requested that a new group of officers be sent to the home, due to the officers there hurting her, and she asked for an ambulance to come to the home.
After Yellow Ambulance arrived at the home, Kimberly Wright refused to answer the paramedics' questions, police reported, and when they told her they were there to help, she cursed at them.
Officers reported that once Kimberly Wright was advised that CPS had been contacted, she grabbed a nearby pair of tweezers and attempted to stab herself in the neck. Officers and paramedics struggled with her to take the tweezers out of her hand, the report says.
Following the brief struggle, officers reported that Kimberly Wright attempted to use her head to strike one of the officers.
Police then put her into the back of a patrol car to take her to Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex.
The officer noted in the report that during the entire ride to the jail, Kimberly Wright spit on the windows and struck the windows with her head and hands. Due to her wearing an arm cast, officers were not able to place her in hand restraints.
At the jail, Kimberly Wright provided a .17 blood alcohol concentration after a breath test was administered by jail staff.
Kimberly Wright was preliminarily charged with battery to law enforcement with no injury, a class D felony, and resisting law enforcement and interference with reporting of a crime, both A misdemeanors.
Officers requested a warrant be issued for the arrest of Dawn Wright for neglect of a dependent. She was arrested the following day.
Clark County jail staff said Wednesday that Dawn Wright had been preliminarily charged with aggravated battery, a class B felony.
Court records had not been updated with the women's upcoming court appearances as of press time.

The Southland's major criminal and civil cases heard in Cook County and Will County courts this week.
Leading the Docket
NEW LENOX — A judge on Thursday denied Rodney Julun's request to put a "gag order" on two men who could be called to testify against him during trial. Julun is accused of murdering Dwight Jones of New Lenox Township with a lamp and then enlisting David Reed and John White to rob his home and property over the next several days. Evidently unaware that court hearings are open to the public, Julun said he does not believe he can get a fair trial because Reed and White have been leaking "their stories" to the media. The two men remain in jail, awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to residential burglary, and have never spoken directly with this newspaper. Either way, Judge Daniel Rozak told Julun that he could not "arbitrarily tell anyone" not to talk.
Rozak also denied Julun's request Thursday to allow his fiancée and child to visit him in prison. That privilege, the judge said, is only reserved for attorneys, medical personnel and family members with terminal illnesses. As negotiations for a possible plea deal continue, Julun's attorney, Michael Renzi, will argue on May 18 to suppress certain evidence from trial.
Cook County
Four young men are charged with the September 2011 murder of John and Maria Granat. No longer able to afford private counsel, one of them has opted for the free services of the Cook County Public Defender's Office.
Will County
FRANKFORT — The evidence against a man accused of trying to meet a father willing to prostitute 6- and 11-year-old girls includes 751 pages of craigslist and e-mail correspondence, in addition to police reports and surveillance footage from the hotel where he was arrested, court records show. As of Monday, prosecutors had named more than 20 investigators from Cook and Will county police departments who participated in the Internet sting and could be called to testify at trial.
A resident of Frankfort Township, Brandon Bergthold was indicted on two counts of indecent solicitation and two counts of traveling to meet a minor earlier this year following a two-month investigation. Pretrial hearings continue on May 16.
Also — Trial was set July 16 for Ira Cunningham, one of two men accused of causing a locking down of Frankfort area schools and neighborhoods, but prosecutors are looking to try both men at the same time. That depends in part on the second defendant, William Jenkins, who has been representing himself and who has filed motions alleging he was unlawfully searched and arrested. Both men are charged with residential burglary, burglary, theft and obstruction of identification. Jenkins returns to court on May 9.
NEW LENOX — Prosecutors are still waiting on the completion of computer forensics before negotiating a possible plea deal with Joseph Bozen, an Orland Park accused of soliciting sex from teens on the Internet. Another status hearing was set for June 7.
Michael J. Zimmerman, 27, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges filed last month, when he was arrested by Tinley Park police during a sex crime sting.
PALOS — When pretrial hearings involving a former Palos Park employee accused of videotaping a girl in the bathroom of his home continue next week, the defense expects to have all of the state's evidence in hand. Rodney Albright remained in custody on Tuesday on a $3 million bond, indicted on three counts of filming child pornography, three counts of possession of child pornography and one count of unauthorized video recording.
On the Docket Next Week
David Baitman, accused of kidnapping and sexual assaulting a woman
Trials are slated to begin for the murder of Felix Jimenez and the sexual exploitation of a teen
Rodney Albright, accused of videotaping a minor in his bathroom
Brian Trainauskas, charged with first-degree murder
Norberto Rodriguez, charged with first-degree murder
Trial is set to begin anew for the owner of Dazzle's Painted Pastures Animal Rescue and Sanctuary
Allan Kustok, charged with first-degree murder
John White and David Reed are scheduled for sentencing on residential burglary charges
Looking for more crime news from this week?

Here is hoping everyone had a good night's rest and I hope we all have a good Saturday as well....with little to no pain.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group....whether you have posted or are just lurking....we hope you will post and introduce yourself and share any info you care to with the rest of us. I am sure that each of you will soon find something here that will help you cope better with the wrath of the dragon....aka FM. Be sure and check out the info under *tips* and *resources* and be sure and review the *member toolbox*.
Learning how to pace is a good thing and keeping some sort of schedule throughout each day also helps me. Drinking plenty of water and watching what I eat is also a good thing. Doing gentle exercises and/or stretches help the body so that it does not get stiff and cause even more pain....we, FMers, must keep moving....some days might be slower than others...but moving is so important. Stopain Spray is also good to use on spots which continue decide to ache. Using a heating pad is also good for me. And then there are vitamins and supplements which I have found that has helped to *control my pain*. I am still quite surprised that P5P has helped my lower back pain so much. I am now trying B 1 as well. I am hoping for some improvement in my chronic fatigue.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have a good day.
Same weather here...in fact rain so bad I had to pull over on Thursday I couldn' t SEE . Huge pellets of rain, scared me to death.
We went to a Happy Beginnings Place to see a live 3 D of the new baby to come...I took movies on my phone of her and she yawned and smiled in some of them. It was great! They make a CD of about 15minutes of scanning in the 3D mode the rest is plain doppler in grey.
I remember hearing that the 3 D bothers the baby...the sound waves....but I didn't mention it I think thats why it is on then off so much. . My DIL has been given anothe rissues to worry about. Her heart rate and B/P ar elevated and they have her going to a cardiologist this week. Her insurance keeps her in a system* so I cannot take her to me. (So I go to her)..I am not going to work in the morning of Friday so I can watch the echo. I know what he is fearful of and I will look as they measure and film. I will say nothing as to who I am...Just the MIL! This poor girl not a break can she catch.
I re-read the fragile X syndrome for the carrier as much as I could get my hands on and I don't see it effecting the body..it is always intelligence. So I will just attend.
It s always something.
This week I had two significant pain days. Hard to rise from bed was one the other was a neck of glass while watch TV a little to the right. I know better to keep my neck straight or supported. I dont know how that got me, but it was bad...needed motrin and Valium on top of the meds....then gave up and went to bed.
I am thinking all this rain is not helping any of us......
Tonight I watch the girls, and I must go shopping for something special to bring with me** They just LOVE when Nana comes to the house, we do so much stuff....
I am hopeful for a good night and no strains to the body!
Have a good day my fmily...we must carve days into this life. Push the pain away as best you can with the tools you learn. Add my bottle with distraction in it and hope for the best.
I keep being handed more challenges but I can be quite evasive to miss em'. Like a football player carrying the ball to goal.......that should be all of us. Move and dodge...move and dodge. Duck and jump, duck and jump! Find some sunshine people...put on your sun glasses. (Take your meds!)
Hugs to all, Nancy B
Our visit with the in-laws was excellent. We had a great time, good conversations, and a great time fishing. It's nice that we all get along so well. Even the dogs were spoiled with extra walks with grandpa.
My DW would like to move closer to them. Conroe Texas may be in my future. I have mixed thoughts on moving there. All of my family lives here. Her folks are in Texas and her brother is in Georgia. I know it all depends on where the DW can find work when she finishes school for radtec in two years. I have time to sort things out. It would be nice and warm, but I know it's humid there, and natural disasters spook me a bit.
Yesterday we went to Duluth for and eye appointment and a tooth cleaning. Pretty exciting right? My vision is perfect in one eye so although the other is not bad, it drives me nuts. I was smart and got anti-glare this time too. I was too cheap last time and regret it. I went to Shopco for them instead of Lens Crafters. They are crazy expensive there.
It is Heritage Days here in Two Harbors this weekend. The parade is a block from my house and people place chairs the night before and all morning to claim their turf. It's pretty funny. There is also a big car show and booths selling lots of neat stuff.
It's time to get the day going. Take care everyone.
I had a pretty good day. We also had a big chunk of sunshine finally. All clouded up again now. Looks like more rain. Our houses along the lake here are mainly at the bottom of a hill. My next door neighors front door is at the bottom of his driveway--I have lots of grass and trees in front of the house.. anyhow his front porch filled with water that ran down the driveway and he had just got home from a trip-so they luckily were there to block the water so it couldn't get in.
Just way too much water lately.
Anyhow I started having those odd 'aura' things again. I see the neuro at the end of this month. I am thinking it is migraine. I felt like a little head tension and if this makes sense--the top of my brain feels cold. Ever hear of such a thing? Anyhow I think it is what they call silent migraine. Cuz I have all these symptoms but not the severe pain. Which is nice--but still it is a problem. When it first started a few days ago my mood nose-dived. And I felt so confused and couldn't make a decision. I was thinking it was brain fog at first--but it seems like its a new monster. My memory is horrible when this is going on--worse than usual. I also have that cough still going from May. sigh. well life is challenging.
I'm still praying for everyone. Cory--I lived in Fargo & am a Wisconsin native, but I have to say--I love the south. Texas is kind of hot, but you learn to adjust. I think I feel better down here. not cured, but more active.
Nancy B & Mimi I was just praying for your future little grand baby's and I will keep on praying. God has a plan.
Take care Fmily!
you learn to stay in the AC when the sun is going strong--it is a hotter sun here.
Just thought of that. It took me I think 2 years to get used to the climate and now I love it.
I too changed from Lense Crafters because I had a BIG issue with my eyes and had to see a retinal specialist, I brought ALL my glasses with me and he said the one's from B/J which is like Costco and such were the best for my needs. Made correct!
I couldn't believe it. So now THIS IS where I get 2 pair of glassses for 99.00 (well without my added transitions) but big savings. I get coupons too in their membership packages.
When the vision was worse it was important to get the new right away, that was why I used them. Now I could care less. Dollar store reading glasses and a week wait for a pair that is good for me.
NO IT IS RAINING AGAIN TODAY....yoour wishes are not reaching the East Coast! I thought todaywould be sunny...actually planned to be in the sun despite the heat .
Hope you day goes well. Nancy B

Helping Feral Cats @ CAP
Feral Cat Surgery Program
What is a Feral Cat?
Feral cats, also known as "wild or free-roaming" cats, are the largest cause of pet overpopulation in Houston. Thousands of feral cats are born into homelessness every year, often right in our own neighborhoods. Left unattended, feral cat colonies can grow out of control. But with your help, CAP is committed to solving this problem through humane trap-neuter- return.
What is Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)?
Twenty years of research has shown that TNR is the most humane and effective strategy for reducing the feral cat population. It has been proven that trapping and euthanizing feral cats only contributes to the population problem. Cats are territorial and when cats are removed and euthanized from a location, new cats will move in and the survivors will breed to capacity. This well documented phenomenon is called the vacuum effect. TNR stops the problem because it stops the breeding and the colony will gradually diminish over time. Click on the image below to enlarge.
How does TNR work?
TNR is when feral cats are trapped in humane traps, taken to the CAP for spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, ear tip, and flea preventative, and then released where they were trapped after they recover for 24-48 hours after surgery. Ear tipping is the removal of a quarter inch off the top of the cats' ear while the cat is anesthetized; this is the universal symbol and only proven way to identify a feral cat that has been fixed.
For additional information and instructions on trapping join a TNR orientation, visit Alleycat.org, and watch their trapping video.
The Feral Cat Assistance Program (FCAP)
The Feral Cat Assistance Program (FCAP) is a dedicated volunteer group that provides education to the public on non-lethal ways of controlling the feral cat population. They provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance and education to caregivers of feral cat colonies all over the Houston area. Every month, FCAP schedules a surgery day dedicated to only spaying and neutering feral cats at the CAP surgery clinic. For more information on FCAP, please contact the FCAP Coordinator.
PetSmart Charity Grant
The PetSmart Charity Grant provides education and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for feral cats in the 77084, 77449 and 77099 zip codes. CAP received a grant from PetSmart Charities to provide 900 free surgeries and vaccinations to feral cats in the 77084, 77449 and 77099 areas. We schedule a surgery day once a month dedicated to spaying and neutering feral cats from the 77084, 77449 and 77099 zip codes. For more information please contact the FCAP Manager.
We are also able to provide residents in 77084, 77449 and 77099 with free surgery for their domestic (pet) cats. To make an appointment for a domestic (pet) cat please contact Panda Wellness Center at 281-345-4101.
How can you help?
CAP is always in need of volunteers who can trap, transport, recover, and release feral cats. To volunteer, please fill out a volunteer application. Educate your family, friends, and neighbors about trap-neuter-return. Volunteer to participate in block walks and encourage people to bring in feral cats to be fixed and vaccinated.
Trap-Neuter-Return: If you are feeding or have feral cats on your property, trap, transport, recover, and release the feral cats in your area. CAP will provide the surgery and vaccinations for FREE. Register for surgery on the available day of your choice on the Surgery Reservations page.
