LGL180 – Introduction to the Law
LGL180: Professor Diana Yohe,
Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com,
Campus Extension 2404 or 2123
This Course Guide is designed to assist you with assignments and research for Diana Yohe's Introduction to the Law, LGL 180. If you need assistance using any of the sources or need help finding additional information please contact a reference librarian either by stopping by the LRC, calling 508-678-2811 x2108, or using our Online Reference form.
Legal information is often categorized into four types of sources:
1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Finding tools
4. Other
The purpose of this course guide is to provide you with a selected list of materials within the above four source categories, some of which are available at the LRC and on the Internet.
|Primary Sources
The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. No other laws may conflict with it. The U.S. Constitution created three branches of government (legislative, judicial, and executive). Each branch "creates" laws.
Primary sources consist of the laws that are binding on the court:
- Statutes enacted by the legislative branch create "statutory law."
- Court decisions made by the judicial branch create "case law."
- Regulations promulgated by the executive branch create "administrative law."
Official and unofficial editions of these laws are published. The official publications are issued by the U.S. or state government and the unofficial publications are issued from commercial sources, such as West Group.
Location of Primary Sources:
The LRC owns some primary source material, which is noted by the inclusion of the call number under the title of the source. All primary source materials are shelved in the Reference area of the library. If some or all of the source is also free on the web, this is noted by providing a link to the site. Please click on the word enclosed in a red box to retrieve an annotated listing of relative primary source materials and web site links.
*Remember, all official, primary sources are in print form.*
- Constitutions:
- United States Constitution (Federal)
- Ratified in 1789, the U.S. Constitution contains the fundamental laws that govern our country. It also defines political relationships and states the rights and liberties of our citizens.
- Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (State)
- Ratified in 1780 (9 years before the U.S. Constitution was adopted), it is the oldest written constitution now in use in the world.
- Ratified in 1780 (9 years before the U.S. Constitution was adopted), it is the oldest written constitution now in use in the world.
- Statutory law:
- The legislative branch enacts statutes – either federal (Congress) or a state legislature (Massachusetts General Court) in one of the fifty states.
- The legislative branch provides a chronological
arrangement of statutes called:
session books
A subject arrangement of statutes is published in sets of books called:
code books
- Case law:
- Case law results from judicial decisions.
- At the Federal level, decisions are reported for all three court levels: U.S. District Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court. For state courts, usually just the middle level and highest level court decisions are reported. These decisions are arranged chronologically in books called:
case reporters
A subject arrangement of cases is published in sets of books called:
- Administrative law:
- The executive branch of the government issues proclamations, executive orders, and regulations and provides a chronological arrangement of these regulations in sets of books called:
administrative registers
- The executive branch of the government issues proclamations, executive orders, and regulations and provides a chronological arrangement of these regulations in sets of books called:
A subject arrangement of regulations is published in sets of books called:
|Secondary Sources
Secondary sources identify and explain the law.
Location of Secondary Sources: The LRC has a number of secondary sources located both in the reference and stacks areas of the library. See below for specific call numbers of selected items.
- Legal encyclopedias are useful for providing background information and as providing leads to other sources of materials. They usually provide extensive references to court decisions. Please click here to retrieve a listing of select legal encyclopedias.
- Treatises are books that attempt to cover an entire area of the law. Usually written by legal experts, they do not, however, have any legal authority in a court of law. Please click here to retrieve a listing of select treatises and subject heading links that can be used to find more treatises in our on-line catalog.

It is also known as the Harvard Blue Book or A Uniform System of Citations.
5. Shepardizing
- Shepard's Citations (Not held at LRC)
This publication, which is available in print and electronic form, is used by researchers to verify the current validity of cases. As decisions concerning court cases could have been overruled or changed in some manner over the years, it is necessary to check this information and update information to see if it is still good law. Shepard's provides parallel citations for decisions and references to other proceedings in the same case; they indicate if a subsequent case has been overruled or changed in such a way that it would lesson a case's precedent.
- Shepard's Acts and Cases by Popular Names: Federal and State Ref. KF 80 S5 1999 (3 vols.)
This publication is used when you only know the popular name of a case or statute and do not have a citation. Shepard's Acts and Cases by Popular Names will give you the correct citation.

Cumberland Times-News
WESTERNPORT — When an Allegany County sheriff's deputy investigated a recent theft complaint on Maryland Avenue in Westernport, he found copper pipes bundled and lying outside the vacant dwelling.
Three bundles of the stolen copper were wrapped in duct tape and placed outside the residence. The suspect fled before he could take the pipe that had been removed from the basement ceiling of the residence.
One bundle was taken to check for fingerprints and two bundles were left behind — with the deputy's police business card tucked away inside a pipe within each bundle.
A possible suspect was developed early in the investigation.
The deputy later contacted local salvage yards to watch for bundles of pipe that might be presented to them as salvage materials.
Two hours after those contacts, the deputy's investigative ingenuity paid off.
The suspect had turned in the copper pipe to a Westernport salvage yard.
The employee contacted the investigating officer, who directed him to take a close look at the ends of the pipe.
To the employee's surprise, a piece of paper could be seen in the end of one of the pipes. The employee pulled out the paper and found the deputy's business card.
The deputy then applied for charges at district court, leading to the arrest of 24-year-old Blake Edward Cronk of Westernport, charging Cronk with burglary, theft and destruction of property.
Further investigation led to more of the same charges filed against Cronk for allegedly breaking into another vacant Maryland Avenue residence in Westernport. Copper pipe and electrical wiring were removed in that incident on Dec. 25.
Cronk remained at the Allegany County Detention Center on Friday on bond totaling $7,500 stemming from both cases.
Cronk is scheduled to appear in preliminary hearings in district court Jan. 25 and Feb. 1, according to court documents.

James W. Jones is Professor of Religion and Adjunct Professor of Clinical Psychology, at Rutgers University. His book, Blood That Cries Out From the Earth: The Psychology of Religious Terrorism, looks at what makes ordinary people evil. Jones argues that not every adherent of an authoritarian group will turn to violence, and he shows how theories of personality development can explain why certain individuals are easily recruited to perform terrorist acts. In the article below Jones argues that understanding people who turn towards terrorism is the first step to halting their violent acts. Check out Jones's webpage here.
How much do we really know about terrorism? The short answer is "a lot" and "a very little." "Terrorism" — as the cliché about one person's terrorist being another's freedom fighter suggests — is more often used as an epithet or a bit of propaganda than a category useful for understanding. There is general agreement that terrorism is not an end in itself or a motivation in itself (except perhaps for a few genuinely psychotic individual lone wolves). No movement is only a terrorist movement; its primary character is more likely political, economic, or religious. Terrorism is a tactic, not a basic type of group.
The first step in clarifying this topic of "understanding terrorism" is to become clear about the purpose of our attempts to understand terrorism. Part of the confusion over the understanding of terrorism results from the more basic confusion of not knowing what we want our explanations of terrorism to do for us. Before we undertake to "explain" terrorism, we should be clear as to what we want this "explanation" to accomplish? Many hope that understanding terrorism will help predict future terrorist actions. Others hope that it will help devise effective counter-terrorism strategies. Will a psychological, or political, or military, or religious understanding of religious terrorism aid in those goals?
I know from my work in forensic psychology that predicting violent behavior in any specific case is very, very complicated and very rarely successful. And dramatic acts of violence that change the course of history — the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand that lit the match on the conflagration of World War I, the taking hostage of the American embassy in the Iranian revolution, the 9/11 attack — are rarely predictable. We can list some of the characteristics of religious groups that turn to violence and terror. I have studied some of the themes common to Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist groups that have turned to terror. We can also outline the steps that individuals and groups often go through in becoming committed to violent actions. The NYPD has done exactly that in a recent study. But I remain skeptical that any model will enable us to predict with any certainty when specific individuals or groups may turn to terrorism. There are warning signs we should be aware of. But these are signs, not determinants or predictors.
As for counter-terrorism, it is an important strategic principal that one should know one's enemy. We succeeded in containing the expansiveness of the former Soviet Union in part because we had a detailed and nuanced understanding of the Soviet system. Understanding some of what is at stake religiously and spiritually for religious groups that engage in terrorism can help devise ways of countering them. So a religious-psychological understanding of religious terrorists' motivations can be an important part of the response to them.
In the months following 9/11 I often heard demagogues on the radio say that psychologists (like me) who seek to understand the psychology behind religiously motivated violence simply want to "offer the terrorists therapy." The idea that one must choose either understanding or action — that one cannot do both — is an idea that itself borders on the pathological and represents the kind of dichotomizing that is itself a part of the terrorist mindset. Such dichotomized thinking, wherever it occurs, is a part of the problem and not part of the solution. I worked for two years in the psychology department at a hardcore, maximum security prison. But I never thought of that as a substitute for just and vigorous law enforcement. Understanding an action in no way means excusing it; explaining an action in no way means condoning it.
There is, however, a deeper issue here. Understanding others (even those who will your destruction) can make them more human. It can break down the demonization of the other that some politicians and policy makers feel is necessary in order to combat terrorists. The demonization of the other is a major weapon in the arsenal of the religiously motivated terrorist. Must we resort to the same tactic – which is so costly psychologically and spiritually – in order to oppose terrorism? Or can we counter religiously motivated terrorists without becoming like them?
One Response to "Understanding Religious Terrorism"
Dr. Jones, (or others)
Can you comment, please on:
(1) the parallels between terrorism, genocide, and femicide? Both of these target individuals or groups of individuals on the basis of the us/them dichotomy.
(2) on what basis a secular understanding can save lives if it has the same us/them mentality about faiths that the "faiths" do about each other?
The real dichotomy is between faith and practice, whether of theology or law.
I say this as degreed in music and theology, both of which entail "practice."
I hope to be around for that discussion, and to read your book, but am struggling with how to safely finish divorcing a man that battered me in the name of his god and male-ness; and currently he has my kids.
Violence shatters all reason. It should not cost a woman her life or her children (or her livelihood) in the process of leaving a man in order to save her life and her children. But it does.
This is sanitized and rationalized in courts of law with as much messianic self-righteousness as in the churches that won't address it either, and it's spiritually and emotionally sickening.
So I ask, who is looking at the PROFIT motive as well as the basic human instincts of lust for power, and greed. You've mentioned the psychological and theological views of society. How about simple profit/loss? (The pelican brief, anyone?) WHo profits from others' dysfunctions whereas it ought to be, mutual proftits from exchanges of goods?
Behind closed doors is where these things happen. I'm talking in courts, schools, churches, mosques, and families.
I hope to be around for the discussion, but right now am struggling still with the same issues – the fallout from domestic violence, my sense of multiple betrayals, and working to utilize the core of my faith to continue to work virtual miracles, while trying to adjust my loss of "faith" in the legal systems that should've stood firm (and been enforced fairly) where it wasn't. In looking closer at this, it takes personal morality to not look the other way, or even not to lie in court.
THe enforcement of the laws that are to protect having failed, I am brought again (and enriched) back to basic faith in a god that hears, knows, and sees when others do not. And in the analogy (for those who do not believe it literally) of a christ who took the rap for speaking truth, and for hugging lepers, noticing women, and pointing out that he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone. APpropriately, it seems, the woman (not two people) caught in adultery was about to be stoned.
There's a wisdom in that, it seems to me. I could at least attempt to follow in the footsteps of such a leader.
You just heard from a woman who hasn't seen one child in a year and a half, can't practice her former profession for the trauma of how this happened, And is unsure whether the next round (of my attempt at justice) is going to get someone hurt, or herself homeless. And had better believe in a resurrection if she's going to go a few more rounds of this.
If "we" are going to continue as an imperialistic nation (and it seems to be the course), "we" are going to need an educational system and a culture that will erode self-sufficiency, maturity, basic compassion, and the ability to reason. Case in point, it's here.
(Lord have mercy…)

HOUSTON—It's going to be cloudy and cold again Thursday and temperatures are expected to take a dip overnight, so be sure to bundle up over the next couple of days, KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Chita Johnson said.
Thursday kicked off with lows in the 30s, highs are expected to top off in the lower-40s and there is a 20-percent chance for rain this afternoon. Temperatures will dip overnight and, on Friday, there is a possibility that we will see sleet.
"We are watching a disturbance in Mexico that is going to push into Wst Texas this evening, and because of that, we could start to see a few early showers move in late tonight," Johnson said. "By tomorrow morning, because of how cold our temperatures will be, we could not only see a few spotty showers and the possibility of sleet, especially in our northwest counties."
If that happens, bridges and overpasses could ice over, so be careful out there.
If you're missing the sun, it'll be back Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with high temperatures rising back into the 60s each day.

From Business Today:
Sen. Charles E. Schumer was in Cheektowaga Tuesday to announce his call for an investigation into high gas prices. Schumer said gas prices are falling too slowly in comparison with the decline in oil prices. He is asking the Federal Trade Commission to probe oil refineries and find whether refiners are cutting back on gasoline stockpiles to keep prices artificially high. There are plenty of theories why gas in Western New York is so high: taxes, our position at the end of a gas supply pipeline, etc. Schumer said he wants to put pressure on refiners to make sure they are not taking too much profit.
Another check-cashing outfit will open in Western New York, this time in Alden. State banking regulators issued a license to Check Express LLC, owned by Laura Dulski. It will be the fourth business in the area allowed by law to cash checks for a fee. An application for a fifth company is pending in Niagara Falls.
Who is getting hired, promoted and honored?

Vasquez said the shots were fired nearby.
"They sounded very close -- the shots. (We heard) five or six gunshots," Vasquez said. "I just ducked under the table as fast as I could and hoped for the best. I saw one of the shooters when he was already under police control."
Some students barricaded themselves in classrooms until they thought everything was safe.
"There were some people crying in the classroom," student Paul Ellis said. "A lot of people were freaking out. Some girl thought she was going to have a panic attack, but she didn't."
"I was doing my homework on the second floor and all you heard were six or seven loud gunshots. (Students) were just running away from the hallway. That's the same thing that I did. People didn't want to cross the hallway because it's open and we didn't know where the shooter was," student Daniel Flores said. "I went to the courtyard and there were people walking around like they didn't know. It wasn't organized."
"Nobody knew what to do," one student said. "I mean, we knew to hide, but that was it. We didn't know who shot who. I know one of the guys in there with me, he saw one of them shoot the other guy. But all I know is that everybody just ran."
A shelter-in-place was ordered at the college, but the campus was evacuated a short time later. The campus was deemed safe by 3:30 p.m. The campus was closed to the public for the rest of the day. Officials said the campus will reopen on Wednesday.
Some students not notified through emergency system
Some students said they were not notified about the shooting,
Ariana Munoz, 19, said she was in Algebra class when a friend texted her about 12:30 p.m. to see if she was OK. Munoz said she and the other 25 students in her class didn't receive an alert.
"Come to find out the shooting wasn't far from me, so I alerted my other class members and I told my professor, who then went and told other professors," Munoz said. "Why is it that nobody from the school came and told us? Why was it that I had to alert the faculty? Why was it that I had to tell everybody?"
Munoz said the professor went about class as if nothing had happened. About 1:10 p.m., roughly 40 minutes after the shooting, Munoz said a police officer knocked on her classroom door and told everyone to evacuate. She said the college did send out an email alert eventually, but she said it was sent after she left campus.
Carpenter said messages were sent out.
"We sent out a text blast to all of our students, emails," Carpenter said. "We have multiple forms by which we communicate with students."
Carpenter said students are able to opt-out of those alerts, but the system is designed to send notifications to every student to their cellphones. However, on Wednesday, KPRC Local 2 learned that students have to opt in, not out, to receive those alerts.
Some students said cellphone service of spotty on campus.
"I had no more cellphone service, but I did have WiFi, which is when I decided to go to Twitter and warn others not to come into the academic building," Vasquez said.
A message was posted on Facebook about 1 p.m. The first posting the college made on its main Twitter account was about 2 p.m. A notice did not appear to have been posted on the North Harris campus' Twitter page at all.
School reopened on Wednesday
Students, their parents and faculty returned to campus on Wednesday.
The Lone Star College Public Information Officer, Vicki Cassidy, said the school was on "high alert and will continue the same pattern" Wednesday. The PIO also said there would not be extra security on campus.
However, security on the college campus was much more visible early Wednesday. Officers were out patrolling the campus to help ease fears as students headed back to school.
"It makes you scared to go anywhere," student Danielle Roberson said. "You are at school to get an education and better our future and we still get to school and get nervous."
Lone Star College and the four nearby Aldine schools -- Dunn Elementary, Parker Intermediate, Nimitz 9th grade campus and Nimitz High -- were on lockdown Tuesday. The lockdown was lifted about 3 p.m.
"I'm just glad nothing happened at any of the other schools and the suspect didn't make it to other schools," said Kevin Williams, who has two children who attend Dunn Elementary. "As a parent, you think, 'Go get my child, go help my child,' but you have all the police, so what else can you do?"
Town hall meeting scheduled
Harris County sheriff's deputies will hold a town hall meeting to talk with the public about the department's plan for responding to school shootings.
The meeting will be held at San Jacinto College's North Campus, 5800 Uvalde, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Garcia said the timing of the meeting was coincidental and not in direct response to the Lone Star College North campus shooting. The meeting was organized after the school shooting in Newton, Conn.
"We want people to know that our deputies are prepared, they're brave, they're courageous, they're going to run toward danger that people will run from and, in the event they might be outgunned, we got surprises for the bad guys."

Depression is a chronic medical illness that causes a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest, and can lead to a range of emotional and physical problems. The condition may be referred to as major depression, clinical depression, or major depressive disorder (MDD). People with depression are often at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and obesity.
Doctors currently treat clinically depressed people with a variety of more than 20 Food and Drug Administration-approved medications, which can reduce symptoms for about two-thirds of those treated. UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians offer patients access to traditional treatments as well as the opportunity to participate in clinical trials for the latest innovations in depression treatment.
Our Psychosocial Research and Depression Clinic seeks to understand how psychosocial factors and treatments influence the course of mood and related disorders. The goal is to create new knowledge and treatments that will reduce the suffering of those with recurrent atypical depression, using cognitive therapy for preventing relapses, and ultimately, through interdisciplinary collaboration, produce a cure.
The Clinic was established in 1989 for the express purposes of:
In short, we evaluate the role of psychosocial (i.e., psychological, attitudinal, social, and interpersonal) factors and interventions on the course of depression.
Our interdisciplinary team enjoys international and national collaboration and includes psychologists, psychiatrists, biostatisticians, research associates, private practitioners, nurses, physician's assistants, trainees, and administrators.
To schedule an appointment at UT Southwestern's facilities in Dallas or for more information about our depression services, request an appointment or call 214-645-8300.

Two Important Laws
This month's tip is on two Missouri laws which every driver and owner of a vehicle should adhere to concerning Drivers' and Commercial Drivers' Licenses and the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
Chapter 302 Section 260 in reference to Drivers' and Commercial Drivers' Licenses: Unlicensed person operating motor vehicle prohibited.
No person shall authorize or knowingly permit a motor vehicle owned by him or under his control to be driven upon any highway by any person who is not authorized.
Chapter 303 Section 303.025 in reference to Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law: No owner of a motor vehicle registered in this state, or required to be registered in this state, shall operate, register or maintain registration of a motor vehicle, or permit another person to operate such vehicle, unless the owner maintains the financial responsibility, which conforms to the requirements of the laws of this state. Furthermore, no person shall operate a motor vehicle owned by another with the knowledge that the owner has not maintained financial responsibility unless such person has financial responsibility which covers the person's operation of the other's vehicle; however, no owner shall be in a violation of this subsection if he or she fails to maintain financial responsibility on a motor vehicle which is inoperable or being stored and not in operation.
These two laws are very important to remember. The bottom line is that if you allow someone to drive your vehicle and that person doesn't have a drivers' license, then you can be issued a ticket for allowing an unlicensed person to drive as well as that person getting a ticket. The same thing holds true that if you allow someone to drive your vehicle and you don't have insurance on the vehicle, you can be ticketed and possibly have your drivers' license suspended for failing to show financial responsibility. This especially comes into play if you are involved in an accident. By the same token, if the person has knowledge that you don't have insurance, they shouldn't drive unless they have their own financial responsibility coverage to operate any vehicle.
For more in depth information and definitions go to the Missouri Revised Statutes under these two sections and read the complete information.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
Did members of your family pay for Stage Fort Park?
They did if they were Gloucester residents between 1898 and 1938. Before 1898 this land was privately owned by the Hough and Barnes families. It was taken by eminent domain to create a park for "the benefit of the city of Gloucester and the inhabitants thereof" and to secure this historic site, "to be preserved as a permanent memorial of the first settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony" in 1623," according to the deed for taking of Stage Fort Park property, March 15, 1898.
State Act of 1897 Chapter 459 required a vote by Gloucester residents to accept the park land and the debt incurred in its taking. Citizens of Gloucester voted for the park and paid this tax assessment for 40 years, according to the Gloucester city archives.
A Times editorial of Dec. 8, 1897 stated, "we are well pleased with the vote as it clearly shows that Gloucester has the interests of her people at heart and thousands in the future will bless when this beautiful tract of land came into possession of the city." Editorial comments were also made regarding the historic ground, the beautiful marine views, promenades, and providing a "breathing place for your descendants in all the years to come."
The park, which starts at the Cut bridge, includes land on both sides of Hough Avenue. An old water fountain to the left of the dog park indicates a once cared for area, neglected for years and therefore made unusable. Other materials have been dumped in this area. The small meadow, which school children once used for field day activities, has become a volley ball sand pit.
Some events held at the park have left many areas scarred for months and some areas for a longer time. Our park is being treated like a spare back lot, to be chopped up and repurposed.
Will anything be left, any expanse of grass, any path made safe for walking, any peaceful beautiful view, any escape from a busy, congested inner city — one purpose for which this park was created in 1898, when very few owned an automobile? Is the inner city less congested now? Isn't it still our park?
Our ancestors gave us this unique and beautiful park. Please thank them by speaking up for its protection and preservation, for both present and future generations of Gloucester residents.

JOHNSONBURG – Port Allegany wrestling doubled up Johnsonburg 48-24 in a dual meet held Wednesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
Although both teams won three matches on the mat, the Gators used five forfeits to take the edge in Wednesday's dual.
After DuBois Central Catholic downed Johnsonburg last Friday, the Cardinals (7-4) couldn't make it two big wins in a row as Ridgway won 49-41 over DCC Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
"DCC coming off that big win against Johnsonburg, they had the setback against Curwensville but we knew they were playing well," Ridgway coach Anthony Allegretto said. "We know how much they hustle, how much they work. We knew how well-coached they are. They shut down our offense by packing in the middle, and we have to hit some shots. In the early going, we had some trouble."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (13-2) had four players in double-digits Tuesday as they scored a runaway 79-48 win against visiting Brockway (3-9).
The Rams were led by seniors Cameron Grumley and Cole Peterson, scoring 27 and 21 points, respectively, followed by junior Zane Hodgdon with 11 points and sophomore Kevin Benson with 10 points.
Games and games of frustration were replaced by celebration Monday night as Ridgway girls basketball finished victorious, defeating Oswayo Valley 32-27 at Ridgway Area High School.
Ridgway boys basketball used a late run in the second half to overtake Kane 44-29 in action Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
The Wolves would not go away for the first three quarters, trailing just 28-21 starting the fourth quarter.
"Kane came in here, they're well-coached, they're ready to go," Ridgway coach Anthony Allegretto said. "Coach Gasbarre is doing a great job with them. They have a new attitude, they really hustled, they played hard the whole way. We couldn't shake them. That's a pretty good ball club there."
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg girls basketball won 41-26 over Ridgway Wednesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
Defense ruled the first quarter as the Ramettes held just a 4-2 lead after four minutes of play.
"Our defense, I was really proud of how the girls were playing defense," Ridgway coach Stacy Kifer said. "They're really stepping it up. What we need to do is we need to try to get the offense tweaked now. We got to work on our rebounding, we still have to get position and get these girls to recognize weak-side rebounding."
JOHNSONBURG – The Rams picked up the victory Monday night over St. Marys but the Dutch made it anything but easy for Johnsonburg.
The Rams outscored St. Marys 22-10 in the fourth quarter to blow open what had been a close game for three quarters to pick up a 69-52 win Monday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch had little trouble dispatching the Ridgway Elkers Saturday evening in a 57-17 win.
"Overall I thought our guys were really fired up for this match," said Dutch head coach Dominic Surra. "It's always a rivalry and it really doesn't matter how the records are, both teams just show up for this match. I thought our guys really wrestled hard, we were aggressive, went for quick takedowns, and I thought even in the matches that we lost, Ridgway had to earn those matches.
"It was a good night for us, a good team effort."
Last year's PIAA runner-up Johnsonburg showed Friday night's crowd in the Wolves Den that the 2014 version is a darn good team. The Rams ran out to a big lead early and rolled to a 69-30 win.

Obama: 'Sorry' for Obamacare Cancellations
Republicans say more than an apology is needed.
President Obama has apologized for pledging repeatedly that Americans who want to keep their existing health insurance plans can do so under his new health care law. Millions of people are now having their health insurance plans canceled, partly because of requirements imposed by that law.
"I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me," Obama said. "We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and that we're going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this."
Obama's mea culpa, given during an interview with NBC News Thursday, comes as he endures escalating criticism for misleading Americans about the Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare. The administration is also under attack for the embarrassingly weak launch of its enrollment website for the new insurance system. Obama said his administration is working hard to fix the website and it should be functioning much better by the end of November.
[READ: Obama Defends Obamacare in Boston]
Republicans welcomed his apology but wanted more. "An apology is certainly in order," noted House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in a statement. "But what Americans want to hear is that the president is going to keep his promise. That's why the House will vote next week to allow anyone with a health care plan they like to keep it. If the president is sincerely sorry that he misled the American people, the very least he can do is support this bipartisan effort. Otherwise, this apology doesn't amount to anything."
But Obama said, "I think we in good faith have been trying to take on a health care system that has been broken for a very long time. And what we've been trying to do is to change it in the least disruptive way possible. I mean, keep in mind that there were folks on the left who would have preferred a single payer plan. That would have been a lot more disruptive.
[READ: 'Hold Me Accountable' Secretary Sebelius Says of Obamacare Woes]
"There were folks on the right who said, 'Let's just get rid of, you know, employer deductions for health care and give people a tax credit and they can go buy their own health care in their own market.' That would have been more disruptive. ... But obviously we didn't do a good enough job in terms of how we created the law. And you know that's something that I regret. That's something that we're going to do everything we can to get fixed."

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Thai restaurant Jow Nai Fouquet gearing up on Farwell
Jow Nai Fouquet, a Thai restaurant that's cultivating a Paris/Bangkok outdoor-bistro look, is in the works at 1978 N. Farwell Ave.That's the former site of the Middle Eastern restaurant Abu's.
The grand opening is targeted for Oct. 31, following a soft opening earlier in the month.
Owner Aomjai Nueakaew is getting help for the opening from Pyte Khampane; they're also involved in Sticky Rice Thai Restaurant in Racine and operated Ginger Lounge there.
Khampane said the restaurant on Farwell is named in part for Nueakaew's toddler son, Jownai. Fouquet is both a reference to the famous Parisian restaurant on the Champs-Élysées and to Phuket, the Thai island.
The menu will include fare such as green curry with seafood, vegetarian dishes and specialty beverages and cocktails, including bubble teas, Thai tea and mai tais.
Khampane said the restaurant would offer lunch and dinner, with late hours on weekends.
Curious diners looking for a preview will find food samples by Jow Nai Fouquet at the WMSE Food Slam event Oct. 7 at the Grohmann Museum; tickets are available through the radio station's website through Oct. 3, or until they sell out.

Examination of band numbers revealed the identity and history of the recently recovered birds. One male bald eagle was banded, radio-tagged and released on ADCNR's Mud Creek Wildlife Management Area in April 1987. The bird was 19 years old and was found dead in March near a nest. At 19 years, it is possible that this bird was near the end of its natural lifespan.

Niagara Gazette — New York State Park Police spent much of the day Monday on an icy overhang at the brink if the falls.
A specially trained rescue and recovery team was looking for the body of a man that apparently committed suicide there over the weekend.
"We were looking for the victim from Saturday night," Park Police Lt. Patrick Moriarty said. "We were checking to make sure that the spots at the brink of the falls were clear."
Park Police were assisted by a helicopter from the Erie County Sheriff's Department Aviation Unit. Moriarty said the chopper checked the area around the base of the falls, in the Maid of the Mist boat launch area and under and north of the Rainbow Bridge.
"The results were negative," Moriarty said.
Witnesses told Park police officers that they saw a young man hop the fence at Prospect Point, slide down the ice and then jump into the icy water of the Niagara River at the brink of the falls. The man was then swept over the brink.
A short time later, officers recovered some personal belongings of the victim.
"We recovered some property," Moriarty said. "We're pretty confident that property belongs to the young man who went into the water and was swept over the falls."
While Park Police do not generally release the identity of suicide victims, Moriarity did confirm the man was a 21-year-old student at Houghton College in Allegany County.
The college, in a news release on it's website, said the young man was from North Carolina and in his junior year.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the untimely loss to our community," said Houghton College president Shirley Mullen. "(He) was an accomplished young scholar with a promising future in theological study. Our prayers are with his family and his many friends and colleagues in these difficult days."

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Weeks after a Fort Mill man was convicted of exposing himself at a gas station, he was arrested again for a similar crime.
Police said that Gregg Lamont Millner, 32, was arrested after they received complaints from store employees about a man inside two area stores fondling himself.
"It makes me sick. It makes me nauseous," said Melissa English, a customer of one of the stores where the incident took place, although she was not at the store when the alleged incident happened.
The stores, Lebo's and It's Fashion Metro are located in the market shopping center on Cherry Road in Rock Hill.
Witnesses told NBC Charlotte that at Lebo's the suspect was walking around the store in a long black coat and "touching himself" and at the It's Fashion Metro police said the man was standing by the front of the store near the cash registers with his pants down around his ankles when they arrived and arrested him.
Most troubling for customers is news that the suspect was on the streets just weeks after he plead guilty to a charge of indecent exposure in 2011. He was sentenced to three years in prison but that sentence was reduced to two years probation by a York County judge on December 21.
Millner is now in jail on a $200,000 bond on two charges of indecent exposure.
"He (the judge) didn't do the right thing. That's how I feel about it...He should be in jail for a long time, because you've got to worry about kids. It's terrible," said shopper and Rock Hill resident Dawn Clark.

Back-to-Back: Jordy Smith Claims Resounding Victory at Home at Jeffreys Bay
You know what they say about home cooking. Jordy Smith sure does.
Oakley's South African surf star toppled Mick Fanning on his home turf to emphatically rack up back-to-back Jeffreys Bay titles. The O team phenom employed superior wave selection in tough three-to-four foot conditions to take out Fanning with combined wave scores of 15.60 to 14.83 – powering Jordy up three places in the World Tour rankings to No. 2 behind Aussie Joel "Parko" Parkinson and just ahead of fellow O teammate Adriano de Souza.
"It's been an incredible week for me," Jordy said of the huge victory in front of a raucous home crowd. "All the support of the people at Jeffreys Bay, Garth (Tarlow), Steve (Smith), my girlfriend Lyndall (Jarvis), my mum and dad and everyone else. It's been a really special week for me and I'm so happy right now."
He was definitely in championship form. Posting the highest scores of Round 1 last Friday – he utilized his vast experience at the break to throw down progressive maneuvers and big airs to tally rides of 8.60 and 7.0 in the Finals.
Jordy started the final day on fire, smashing his way to victories over Damien Hobgood in the quarterfinals then leaving Adrian Buchan in the dust in the semifinals.
"Today's a huge win for me," he continued. "Last year it was very emotional. To back it up this year just feels really, really good. It's huge for my confidence and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year."
Congratulations to Jordy for the big win!

Saturday will be busier than usual for the City of Greenville Parks and Recreation Department.
Local residents will be able to get their first look at the revamped Graham Park on one side of town and then have a chance to get freaky, show off their Halloween costumes and enjoy a movie on the other side.
A grand opening celebration for Graham Park, which has undergone a $1 million renovation effort, is scheduled for noon Saturday at 800 Walnut Street, the park's main entrance. The event is expected to include free hot dogs, music, guest speakers and more
The City of Greenville received a $500,000 grant from the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife for the effort to renovate Graham Park and provided a $500,000 match.
The improvements under the project included fountains, a fishing pier, a nine-hole disc golf course, a walking trail, a dog park and a splash pad, which will be available for use at the push of a button.
The banks of the Graham Park "lake" were stabilized, while new and updated playground equipment was installed
The Sports Facility Construction Company received the bid on the project. The park has been closed to the public since ground was broken for the project in April.
Starting at 4 p.m. Saturday, the Greenville SportsPark will play host to the Freaky 5K Run for your Life and Movie in the Park. The Dr. Les T. Sandknop Family Practice and Cactus Saddlery are presenting the event, which includes a costume contest with $500 in cash prizes at 4:45 p.m., the Freaky 5K Run (with registration starting at 4 p.m. Saturday) and a free showing of "Puss in Boots" at 7 p.m.

Target will open three new in-store medical clinics in the Triangle.
The Target Clinics will be in Raleigh at the Super Target at Poyner Place and at North Hills and in Cary at 2021 Walnut St.
Construction in all the stores will begin in May, and they are scheduled to open Aug. 18.
Target already has clinics in Apex, Wake Forest and Durham, and plans to add three more this year, in Charlotte and Concord. The openings are part of national expansion plan that will see the Minnesota company add 14 new locations in five states, bringing its total to 68.
Jamie Bastion, a spokesman based at Target's Minneapolis headquarters, said the retailer looks at overall store performance and the local health care market when determining where to expand. And then they pick stores where construction of the clinics – which will be placed at the front of the stores – will be the least disruptive to customers.
"We've been in the (Triangle) market for a while, and all of the Target Clinics are performing to expectation," she said.
"Traffic fluctuates by season. When we're experiencing winter health season there's a greater emphasis on colds and flu. ... In the spring and fall, we do vaccinations and physicals for camp and school."
Bastion said many of the clinics' patients are repeat customers who have primary care providers but use the clinics because of their convenience. Target Clinics use electronic medical records and send results to each patient's doctor if asked.
The clinics in the Triangle will all be staffed by a licensed family nurse practitioner and offer 60 services, including vaccinations, treatment for minor illnesses such as strep, bladder infections and pink eye. Patients are seen first-come, first-served, and the average appointment lasts about 15 minutes. The clinics accept most insurance plans.
With more people getting insurance under the Affordable Care Act, retail-based health providers like Target and CVS, which offers Minute Clinics at its Triangle pharmacies, could see an influx of new business.
Bastian said she could not speculate on what the act might mean but said the company expected to see steady growth. "We're trying to be very thoughtful about it, going into the right markets at the right time," she said.
In downtown Raleigh, Nora and Nicky's designer resale is opening at 19 W. Hargett St. between High Cotton Ties and DECO. ...
In downtown Apex, Kyle and Megan Denis have opened Apex Outfitter and Board Co. at 225 N. Salem St. In addition to providing outdoor gear and apparel, they plan to add stand up paddle boards in the spring along with lessons, rentals and demos to expose people to the sport. They also have an online shop at www.apexoutfitter.com. ... In Cary, HomeGoods celebrates its grand opening from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Crossroads Plaza on Sunday.
David Smith of Raleigh has purchased Simply Delicious Catering in Creedmoor. For the past four years, Smith has been the food and beverage director at Arbor Walk, a luxury active adult community in Durham. Simply Delicious Catering provides personalized menus for all types and sizes of events.
Changes at Northgate Mall in Durham: M&K Menswear moved from its space near Dress Barn to a larger space across from FYE. M&K is owned by Zafar Bhatti, who also owns Baron's at Northgate. With the expansion, M&K has increased its line of menswear, formalwear and accessories, including footwear. ... Dress for Success Triangle is also expanding early April. The nonprofit, which provides business-appropriate clothing, mentoring and professional career development programs for women in need, will be doubling its space when it moves across from Payless Shoe Source. ... And in the food court, look for Micky's Chicken and Fish. It is the second establishment at Northgate operated by owner Sadiq Kassamali, who recently took over Northgate's CinnaMonster. The menu features a variety of farm-raised chicken and sustainable seafood options.

Chapter 8:
Senate Rule
Call of the senate.
Five senators may make a call of the senate and thereby require absent members to be sent for, but a call of the senate cannot be made after the voting has commenced.
(2) A call of the senate may be ordered on any motion or question before the senate, including a motion to adjourn, but a call of the senate on a motion to adjourn is not in order once the senate is under call on any other question.
[(2) am. 2001 S.Res. 2]
Senate Rule
Putting question.
On a call of the senate being moved, the presiding officer shall say: "It requiring 5 senators to make a call of the senate, those in favor of the call shall rise." And, if a sufficient number rise, the call shall be thereby ordered without debate.
(2) When a motion for a call of the senate fails of the support of the necessary 5 members, and announcement of that fact is made, a 2nd motion for a call on the same question is not in order unless other business intervenes.
[am. 2001 S.Res. 2]
Senate Rule
Doors to be closed.
A call of the senate being ordered, the sergeant at arms shall close the doors, and members may not leave the chamber, but the public may come and go under such regulations as the sergeant at arms finds necessary.
[am. 2001 S.Res. 2]
Senate Rule
Sergeant to bring in absentees.
The chief clerk shall immediately call the roll of the members, and note the absentees, whose names shall be read, and entered upon the journal in such manner as to show who are absent with leave and who are absent without leave. The chief clerk shall furnish the sergeant at arms with a list of those who are absent without leave, and the sergeant at arms shall forthwith proceed to find and bring in such absentees.
Senate Rule
Transacting business while under call.
General rule.
While the senate is under call, business may not be transacted with reference to the matter on which the call is made except to receive and act upon the report of the sergeant at arms, to act on a motion to raise one or more calls, to adjourn, or to adjourn to a time certain. A roll call on a call of the senate must be completed before the senate may take up a special order fixed for that time. A joint resolution to dispose of all matters before the senate and to recess includes matters under call.

Other business.
Other business may be conducted by those present as if there were no call.
Successive calls on same question; intervening business.
Successive calls on the same question are in order if any other action on pending business has intervened between calls of the senate.
Raising call.
A motion to raise one or more calls takes precedence over every other motion, except a motion to adjourn. The affirmative vote of a majority of those present is required for adoption. Upon adoption of a motion to raise one or more calls, business shall be taken up at the point at which it was interrupted by the call, except that motions to recess or adjourn take precedence over the question on which the call was raised, and subsequent calls on motions unrelated to progress of a proposal are in order. The motion to raise a call is not amendable.
Effect of adjournment upon call of senate.
A majority of those present may adjourn, but upon reconvening, the senate is not under call, but the call of the senate may again be ordered in the same manner as provided in this rule.
Granting leave under call.
Absent members may be granted leave during a call of the senate by majority vote of members present. Leave cannot be canceled after a call of the senate has been ordered. Prior leave expires when the senator returns although it is before the time limit set.
