Reader urges vote for Boisseau
Vickie Boisseau is running for Greater Clark County Schools board. She started her career of 37 years with Hillerich & Bradsby in an entry-level position of purchasing clerk and is now director of account services. She is a lifelong resident of Clark County, married for 38 years and mother of two daughters and grandmother of four grandchildren.
She has served as a board member for the Greater Clark Educational Foundation for the past three years, raising funds for the ACT Testing Initiative and the Advanced Placement Scholarship Program. Vickie believes we should arm our children with knowledge, skill and preparation. We can accomplish this only through safeguarding their educational resources.
Greater Clark is a $100 million corporation, one of the largest school districts in the area, and should be run as a business for educating kids. Dysfunction within the school board shifts the focus from educating children to the dynamics of personal politics.
Vickie wants to restore professionalism and respect to the board to better serve students, teachers, parents and the community. Currently, enrollment is down due to private schools and family relocations. With the potential of River Ridge attracting more businesses and families to the area, it is important to offer a strong school system focused on excellent educational opportunities.
Vickie has no personal agenda; she sees a board that could benefit from her business sense and personal demeanor. She is a dynamic and engaging speaker, who does her research. She accepted no special interest monies, but has paid for her campaign with her funds and small donations from family and friends.
She will not accept the school corporation's insurance policy. Vickie will donate half of the board of trustee pay to the Greater Clark Educational Foundation. She's not looking for a job, she's looking to serve the public by bringing her business skills to enriching the educational environments for our kids.
My friendship with Vickie Boisseau goes a long way back and we serve as members of the St. Augustine Parish/Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary. Vickie is very active within the community, serving as a board member with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Arthritis Foundation. She helps nonprofits in their fundraising for various causes, (breast cancer, charities, civic groups, etc.)
I am proud to endorse Vickie Boisseau for Greater Clark County School Board of Trustees. I hope you will vote for Vickie. Our kids deserve better.

Former judge endorses Meyer
I am writing to endorse Ed Meyer for election as County Commissioner in the first district. We vote for commissioners countywide so I hope to share these thoughts with many people.
First, and above all, Ed is a decent man who is running a positive campaign for continued public service as our commissioner. He has always conducted himself that way.
I have known Ed and his family for many years and he is a forthright individual with a dedication to the youth in our community and schools that is second to none. Ed is a teacher and has been a coach in Clark County. He has benefited many families by working in our schools.
Ed was one of the first local officials to serve on a local government agency to assist the county in its first jail expansion. He helped move us away from the old Mayberry-type jail mentality and helped design the modern juvenile detention facility that we now have. No one likes to build jails, but prisoner lawsuits against the way things were run here mandated a federal court order to modernize.
The lives of many children from broken homes caught in the midst of the justice system have been changed through intervention of experts in the juvenile system here because we stopped "throwing them in jail" as we did for years.
Meyer stepped up to take a lead role in building a separate facility for our young people, which compiled with state and federal law at the time. These were bold and risky steps for a public official to take. But Meyer knew that his work on the first Building Corporation would stand the test of time and he knew it was the right thing to do.
I served as the juvenile judge in this county for 12 years and had many more opportunities to work with Ed in public life. His attitude is always constructive, always upbeat and is focused on solving the problem at hand. Many of the politicians in the courthouse don't think that way and that is why it is a necessity to retain Meyer as commissioner.
These are difficult times for county government and the future in how it is operated. We need a steady and proven hand in charge at the commissioners' office. The challenges are significant and I would guess solutions to solve some of the problems will not be easy.
Ed has the capacity to put all the politics aside and make the right decisions to keep county management sound and stable.
I hope you will join me in a vote for Ed Meyer as county commissioner, first district.

Reader miffed at health care policy
I have had a Medicare Advantage policy issued through Anthem. Now that policy is canceled.
But not to fear. Anthem is offering a new policy with double the co-pays and some drugs not covered whatsoever. I'm guessing this is the cost of Obamacare at its best.

Horning is the choice for Senate
As an acquaintance and supporter of Andrew Horning, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, I was blessed to be sitting front and center of the candidates at Indiana University Southeast for Tuesday night's debate.
From inside the auditorium, the statement made by Mr. Mourdock passed as a nonissue. It was not until getting home that I learned that a big deal was made of the misspeak. It is a wonderful way as usual to avoid the issues that as U.S. citizens we face every day. Instead, we focus on destruction of a candidate for something that will not effect the majority of us in our everyday life vs. weighing who is truly the best candidate for the elected position we are trying to fill.
I support Horning in his run for Senate, because he is a man of high values and stands firm in his beliefs. He is running as a Libertarian so we all know that the corporation and big-money donors are not throwing money his way. Andy is running for office because he has a great love for what our Founding Fathers envisioned this country to be.
In our lifetimes, we have lost so many of the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for. Andy is not running for office for fortune or fame, but rather so his children and grandchildren can know the freedoms that our state and U.S. Constitutions are meant to protect.
Please visit Horning's Facebook page to read his response to the statement made by Mourdock at the debate. While Andy does not agree with Mourdock — his view on the unlimited powers our federal government should have — he does defend his gaffe.
If his words do not tell you that this is the man that you want to be captain of your team, nothing will. Please join me in voting for the most principled man on the ballot, Andrew Horning.
— Kathy J. Heel, Elizabeth
GOP leader urges vote for Pence
I would like to ask everyone to vote for Mike Pence for governor. Mike wants to make Indiana the state that works, will promote private-sector job growth, develop world-class schools, protect taxpayers and support families.
Mike is a family man and a man of honor. I have known Mike for a while and have friends that have known him since they attended Hanover College with him.
Mike is qualified to be our next governor and is a lifelong Hoosier. I would ask that you please visit mikepence.com to learn more about Mike. Please consider voting for Mike Pence for governor Nov. 6.

Young endorses Matthews for commish
As the congressman for Indiana's 9th District, I have the opportunity to work with county government officials all across Southern Indiana. I know that Floyd County — like our district, state and nation — faces some tough decisions in the future. It will require leadership at the county level that understands the issues at hand, that is willing to be bold in looking for solutions, and that can clearly articulate their vision for economic growth and job creation. I believe that Dave Matthews can be that sort of leader for Floyd County, and recommend him as a candidate for Floyd County Commissioner in the Nov. 6 election.
I don't often weigh in on local elections, but feel strongly that Dave Matthews is the right man for the job. As a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy myself, I know that Dave was trained to lead when he attended the U.S. Air Force Academy. As I've got to know him over the past few years, I've been impressed with his passion for Floyd County and his understanding of county issues. I've known him to remain cool and confident, even in stressful situations. But most importantly, I know he's willing to make the choices necessary to build a strong local economy in Floyd County.
I wholeheartedly endorse Dave Matthews' candidacy for Floyd County Commissioner.
— Todd Young, 9th District congressman
Reader says only vote is for Obama
American national politics during the 1920s was dominated by the Republican Party, which controlled the White House and Congress throughout the decade.
American national politics during the late 1990s and early 2000s was dominated by the Republican Party, which controlled the White House and Congress for more than a decade.
Republican-controlled policies of the 1920s caused the Great Depression starting in 1929. Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover were all Republican presidents before the 1929 depression. They also had a Republican majority in Congress before the economic meltdown of 1929.
Republican controlled policies of the late 1990s and the early 2000s caused the Great Recession of 2008. From 1981 through 2008 we had a Republican president for 20 of 28 years. We had a Republican Congress for 14 straight years and a Republican president for eight straight years before the recession.
Republican politics played the major role in both economic tragedies nearly 80 years apart.
During the Great Depression America's unemployment rate skyrocketed to 25 percent and remained at more than 10 percent for more than eight years.
Now, let's look at unemployment after the 2008 recession. The unemployment conditions had many of the same similarities of going to 25 percent for a second time because of Republican economic policies. Many economists were predicting unemployment to go above 15 percent.
Americans elected Barack Obama, a Democratic president, who started his term in January 2009. We were losing 700,000 to 800,000 jobs per month when Obama took office. With no help from a Republican Congress, as a result of President Obama's stimulus program, unemployment peaked out at 10 percent, not the 25 percent of the 1930s.
Obama now has 31 straight months of job growth in the private sector and has created 5.2 million jobs. Unemployment has declined to 7.8 percent and is expected to go lower as the economy is improving. Most all economic indicators show we are recovering.
My question is this: Why would America even consider a Republican president?
President Obama is an American hero whom the Republican Party and the far right-wing media have demonized to the uninformed voters. Republicans created the problem, obstructed in fixing the problem, and now blame the problem on President Obama. Now Mitt Romney wants to take us back to the same policies that created the problem. I am amazed this election is so close. It is like America has a severe case of amnesia.
It is an American tragedy when we allow the right-wing media and big money to control our politics and factual information. The loser in the long run will be the American people.
— Ray Beaufait, Charlestown
Parent writes of failure in leadership
As a parent of children now old enough to understand and react to the tumultuous events brought about by the leadership of the Greater Clark County School system, it has become increasingly difficult for me to try to "rationalize" the events of the last two weeks, let alone the last 12 months.
How do you explain the expulsion of an administrator who has brought about real and positive change at JHS; not only in academic achievement but in the demeanor and daily operation of the school. Then, to find out that the superintendent, pressed to appoint an administrator to fill that hastily created vacancy, chooses an assistant principal who, almost one week prior to his appointment, had been arraigned and pled not guilty to charges of shoplifting.
How can our school corporation leadership be so out of touch with current events that this travesty of ignorance and lack of follow-through was allowed to happen. Was the zeal with which the Board and Administration chose to move against Mr. Sexton so overwhelming that they failed to "see the forest for the trees?" Was their desire to remove him from his position so intoxicating that they chose to install an accused thief in his place?
This failure of leadership must be reigned in. Our community cannot afford to continue to endure these negative events that detract from the positive and uplifting accomplishments of our students. This administration has clearly lost focus and is mired in issues that erode from the primary mission of our school system: OUR CHILDREN!!
More than ever before, we have an opportunity to effect real and positive change. Please remember to vote on Nov. 6 and do not forget to turn your ballot over and vote for CHANGE!!
— James H. Wesp, Charlestown
'No hesitation' in support for Meyer
This is a letter I wanted publish supporting Ed Meyer for election as county commissioner. I know it seems like this is one of the stormiest campaigns I have seen in a long time. I know Ed is a very good man and it does no good to run negative campaigns against good people.
Wanda and Charlie Meyer were friends of mine for years. I have watched their families grow up as fine adult citizens. My own sons grew up with Ed and I have always known the Meyer family to be honorable and dedicated hard workers.
It seems like our politics has taken a downhill slide in recent years and it has become so hateful. If this is allowed to go on it raises the question what will be left behind for our children and their children. Ed Meyer is not a negative person and he has always used his energy to help other families. More than that he has helped our community as a commissioner.
We wouldn't have the new jobs at the ammo plant without Ed Meyer. He worked on that project when everybody else laughed about it several years ago. They are not laughing now. People have new jobs at River Ridge and new businesses keep opening there. Ed Meyer has shown he was a man of vision to see the benefits of what that project could bring.
I have no hesitation supporting Ed Meyer to serve another term as our commissioner. He has kept us all safe and is dedicated to making our county a better place. I hope you will vote for him too.
— Margaret Read, of Jeffersonville
Former teacher says it's time to get GCCS board back on track
On Oct. 24, a letter was printed in the Mailbag section of the N & T from Ms. DeAnna Hall regarding the upcoming school board election in Greater Clark. She hit the nail on the head regarding the current incumbent board members up for re-election. I will not go over the things she alluded to, but will add a few things to her commentary.
My wife and I moved to Clark County in September, 1971 and to this date I have never seen a more dysfunctional group of board members as we now have (excluding Ms. Christensen and Ms. Kraft). In my travels throughout Indiana, I can truly say this board is the laughing stock of Indiana. I cannot see why any administrator in their right mind would put their career on the line and come to work for this board.
The first head to roll was Dr. Stephen Daeschner. A truly outstanding educator and administrator who did exactly what he said he would when he was hired. The only public reason given for his dismissal was in regards to his salary. Well folks, you get what you pay for and he was well worth every penny of his salary in terms of his accomplishments.
The next two heads to roll were the CFO, Dr. Tom Galovic, and the COO, Mr. Marty Bell. Both of these men had an exemplary track record and had the right credentials to serve in their capacities as CFO and COO. They are now gone.
The final head to roll was Mr. James Sexton, principal of Jeffersonville High School. Mr. Sexton did more to promote and institute programs during his three years at JHS than all the combined principals in the last several decades. There is not enough space to list all of his accomplishments in this letter, but if the reader will contact Ms. Nancy Kraft, a current GCCS board member she will be more than happy to supply you with a list of all that he has done during his tenure as principal (Ms. Kraft gave me permission to use her name).
These four gentlemen have one thing in common, they all came from Louisville. The reader can go in whatever direction you desire with that. In my opinion if the real reasons were known, these men were removed because Ms. Gilkey, and I use her name because she is the current board president, could not fully control and micromanage these individuals. When she pulled the strings, these individuals did not always respond. She now had that person in place in the form of the current superintendent.
I currently live in Clarksville, but in the GCCS tax district. Therefore, I do have a vested interest in this election. In addition, I am a retired teacher having taught 26 years, 1977 to 2003, as a technology teacher at JHS. I am very upset at the endorsements the teacher PAC made. I just hope the teachers will vote their conscience.
This board is a run-away-train and the only way to stop it and to get it back on track is to vote for Vickie Boisseau, Dale Moss, Alice Dorman Butler and Becka Christensen.
— Jim McCoskey, of Clarksville
Writer supports Gregg for governor
The upcoming election should be a referendum on how the Republicans have governed Indiana. They have been in charge of the last eight years. Indiana now has a higher rate of unemployment that the national average. The reason this has happened is because all they do is Talk about jobs. The legislature has concentrated on passing bills to defund planned parenthood; the right to work for less bill, and to make sure that women have no choice on decisions about their own body.
Now, they are asking for four more years, to continue this agenda of giving lip service to jobs and of helping average people. Do not let them continue this bait and switch. Now is the time to turn it over to the Democrats!
Vote John Gregg for governor.
— Glen R. Pitzer, of Jeffersonville
Couple say Matthews' leadership will benefit county
Dave Matthews is an impressive leader in our community. A hard worker, dedicated husband and father, and an effective administrator, Dave brings excellence to everything he does. He served faithfully for a full career in the Air Force retiring as a lieutenant colonel. For the last 17 years he has flown those big jets we see overhead for UPS and served his community as a church elder, town councilman, party chairman and township board member. Dave works tirelessly to make our community better.
I know we benefit from his leadership. I also know we will be a better county by having him as our commissioner. I plan to vote for Dave Nov. 6 and strongly recommend everyone voting for him too. Dave won't disappoint us as our new commissioner.
— Shawn and Ann Carruthers
Resident proud to support Mourdock
Richard Mourdock stands strong in his pro-life beliefs regarding the sanctity of life. He is a Christian; he believes God is the Creator of life. He believes, regardless of the circumstances in which a baby is conceived, God created that life at that moment for His own purpose. Mourdock believes no one should have the right to end that life but God.
I agree with Richard Mourdock, and I have proudly cast my vote for him for United States Senate.
— Patricia McIntyre, of Jeffersonville
Teacher: Donnelly better for education
As a public school teacher, I am constantly involved in the quest for education improvement but this elevation, even more so than usual. It is easy to see the detrimental educational policies of Tony Bennett, state superintendent incumbent, and Mike Pence, governor hopeful, but I feel people are less informed on our senate race between Joe Donnelly and Richard Mourdock.
Joe Donnelly fought to make education more affordable for Hoosier families and kids and increased the maximum Pell Grant award by 37 percent during time in Congress. Nearly 90 percent of Pell Grant recipients are from families with incomes lower than $40,000. Pell Grants are these students best opportunity at higher education. Donnelly fought against the Ryan Budget, which would result in higher tuition while slashing Pell Grants, only putting college further out of reach. He cut interest rates on student loans in half. Supported an increase in the $2,500 Hope Credit. Students can use that money for tuition, fees, and course materials. Donnelly believes we must provide both students and employers with the tools they need to compete. We must improve job training programs so that they teach the skills Hoosier employers need right now.
He believes we must also connect business owners with community colleges like Ivy Tech so students are being taught the skills employers need and are looking for. Highly skilled workers will attract and keep employers and good-paying jobs.
However, Richard Mourdock will cut $5 billion from Hoosier classrooms, slash Pell Grants by $72 million in Indiana, a difference in 10,000 recipients, and cut Head Start in Indiana by almost $25 million, eliminating 3,000 enrollment slots. Children who participate in Head Start receive free medical and dental care, have healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy playing indoors and outdoors in a safe setting. In 2014, 200,000 fewer Indiana children may have access to early education, such as pre-school. Over the next 10 years, two million children may be affected.
— Erin Braune, of Jeffersonville
Reader unhappy with newspaper over Mourdock coverage
The vast majority of the national media outlets are talking about Mourdock's rape comment at the IUS debate. However, those comments not only do not make the headlines but are buried on page number 2 of the article in the 10-24-12 edition. After listening to some of Limbaugh today on the radio I conclude that my local newspaper and Limbaugh are the only two "news outlets" who are trying to keep the story buried. Why was it not a headline? I will call the subscription office today to cancel my subscription.
— Dan Walton, of New Albany
Resident asks for support of Matthews
I urge my fellow Floyd County citizens to vote Dave Matthews for County Commissioner. After 24 years in elected county office, it's time to retire Chuck Freiberger and elect a fresh face. Dave is one of the hardest working, patriotic people I know. He is a man of integrity that I know will fight for greater transparency and fiscal responsibility in local government. He has been an excellent county chairman, UPS pilot, town councilman, and Air Force veteran. I encourage you to vote for Dave on Nov. 6.
— Matt Duncan, of Sellersburg
Writer gives take on Mourdock comments
I think we all know what Mr. Mourdock was trying to say. That our God can make something wonderful out of the most violent of crimes. Our God does not intend harm, but is wise enough to know when it will happen. Life has value no matter how it was created and the taking of life should not be done on a whim. I think we all will be surprised to find out what our God was doing behind the scenes to protect us from the free will actions of other humans bent on destruction. The statue in Daniel is complete and we only wait for the Stone, at that time we will know how wrong we all are and how right God is.
— Frank Fisher, of Clarksville
Resident says 'extremist' label not fair for Mourdock
I have read Richard Mourdock's original statement regarding the intrinsic worth of the human fetus and his subsequent clarification. I feel it is unfair to label him as an extremist because of his view.
Human life does begin by God's blessing, even though the circumstances surrounding the conception may be evil. God doesn't condone the evil, but nevertheless has a purpose for the new life. I think that we must recognize this and protect the fetus' life. Let's be fair in our debate of the issue.
— James Goodwin, of Charlestown
Writer encourages vote for Matthews
I'm part of the Dave Matthews band! No, not that Dave Matthews band. I'm voting for Dave Matthews for Floyd County Commissioner and invite all my friends and neighbors to do the same.
I've known Dave for several years and have seen his integrity and honesty up close. Anybody who watches politicians knows those attributes aren't always found in those running for office. Dave is a retired U.S. Air Force officer. One of my sons is now completing the training for his wings, so I know what a gruelling task that can be.
Dave has never shirked his duty to his country nor his fellow man. So, please join me and vote for Dave!
— Jeff Adams, of New Albany
Parent says use common sense in GCCS race
I have been following the antics of the Greater Clark County Schools for some time now keeping quite and hoping things are not as bad as they seem but after this latest debacle I feel I can not keep quiet any longer.
Part of this current board has to go. It was bad enough when they got rid of a superintendent that made the most gains in test scores, graduation rates, and has more students taking advanced placement courses than any time in our history because of philosophical differences. This was exactly the results we as parents and taxpayers wanted when they hired Dr. Daschner, finally we were moving in the right direction and all they could come up with is philosophical differences.
It was reported many times that Dr. Daschner would continue his amassing work for a considerable reduction in pay, but part of this board did want higher scores, and more A.P. courses, the very things we did and still do want so they got rid of him and brought in a superintendent that must want the same thing they strive for — being less than the best.
Again we have a principal that has taken a school that was on academic probation and turned it around to be the 8th best school in Indiana and we now find that is not good enough so we bring out the philosophical differences card again this time removing the most productive principal this school has had in a very long time. Go ask people in this community about the changes that have occurred over the last three years and the answers you get will amaze you. More discipline, safer school, higher scores, higher graduation rates, more A.P. courses, all the things we expect from our schools and we have philosophical differences. The superintendent needs to work out the differences and keep this educator in place for the sake of our children. Call your school board and tell them you want the best for our children. We need to change the thinking of this board and make it about what is best for the children and not the differences that keep coming up. I intend to vote for common sense this election and hope you will join me. I am voting for Alice Butler, Dale Moss, Becka Christensen and Vicki Boisseau — together they can make our school the best they can be.
— Mike Reardon
A very concerned parent and taxpayer, Jeffersonville
Writer urges support for Christensen
This year it is critical that we decide whether we want public servants or politicians to serve on the GCCS School Board of Trustees. Four positions are up for election, and while candidates must live in their district, all voters will have a vote for each of those four positions. Incumbent Becka Christensen is a public servant who has proven her dedication and passion for this community.
Becka worked hard to keep Corden Porter and Maple Elementary schools open for the business of educating our children. Becka voted "No" every time job outsourcing came up. She worked hard to save the auto tech program in Charlestown, and supported all the change orders during the construction phases of both Charlestown and New Washington schools. She continues to oppose wasteful spending and reductions to student resources. She listens to her constituents and responds to their concerns and questions. She stands firm on what she believes.
Currently she's hard at work trying to save the Pilot House project that she has spent several years working on. Becka Christensen is not afraid of hard work and doing good deeds. Just ask those of us that patrol the "pill mill" every morning and afternoon they're in operation with Becka Christensen sitting right there with us.
We need a thoughtful, truthful person to parse through the business of the board and come to an unbiased conclusion that best represents the children, parents, teachers and faculty of Greater Clark. Our children deserve someone in their corner willing to fight for them. Public servant or politician? You get to decide on Nov. 6. Please vote for Becka Christensen.
— Donna Spence, of Jeffersonville

Tis the season for holiday happenings.
And for fans of modern rock, it doesn't get much better than this bash.
We the Kings' sixth annual Hometown Holiday Show will be a freebie today at The Hall in Palmetto.
The platinum-selling pop-punk band, which formed in Bradenton, sold out all its previous pay shows at the 950-capacity Manatee County venue.
"We wanted to do something where we could give back," singer/guitarist Travis Clark told the Herald. "Christmas time is really damaging on peoples' wallets and we didn't want anyone worrying about buying a ticket. It's our friends and family and only seems right to give back to the community.
"We're expecting an absolutely packed and wild party," Clark added. "Each year it gets better and better."
Boyce Avenue, a rock band that formed in Sarasota and released the album "All that We Have Left" through Universal in 2010, is also scheduled to perform during the four-hour concert that starts at 7 p.m.
"They're amazing guys and really good friends of ours and super talented," Clark said. "They have the same hometown pride that we do."
Clark, who grew up in Bradenton and has a house here, moved to Hollywood about four months ago.
"It's eye-opening, but also reminds you how amazing Bradenton is," he said by phone as he made his way to the California Pizza Kitchen on Hollywood Boulevard. "As far as the music industry goes, this is where I need to be."
What about his home here?
"My first house is in Bradenton and I'll never sell it," he said. "Our drummer Danny Duncan holds it down for me."
Before signing to a major record label, touring the globe and moving to Los Angeles, Clark graduated from Manatee High School in 2003.
The front man, along with his We the Kings bandmates Hunter Thomsen (guitar, backing vocals) and Duncan, grew up in Bradenton and attended King Middle School, where the band got its name.
Last year, the members of Bradenton's nationally acclaimed band were honored by the Manatee County Commission with "We the Kings Day." The group's many accomplishments include the hit single "Check Yes Juliet," which has garnered about 14 million views on YouTube and sold more than 1 million copies.
We the Kings' next big hit could come from a soundtrack.
Clark's "The Art of War" is a song the band recorded for the highly anticipated "Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire" that's expected to open next November.
"We're taking meetings with all the 'Hunger Games' people and it seems very positive right now," Clark said. "Hearing our song on a movie like that is just going to be incredible."
We the Kings has recorded several songs recently in Los Angeles. Bradenton fans will get to hear them first on Dec. 27.
"I like to play brand new songs for our family and friends in the 941," Clark said. "It's nice to be able to release music in your hometown."
Details: 7 p.m. Dec. 27, The Hall, 1330 U.S. 301, Palmetto. The We The Kings Hometown Holiday Show will be first-come, first-serve at the door to receive free tickets. Meet-and-greet tickets will be available for $50 and include early entry and a meet-and-greet with We The Kings. Meet-and-greet tickets can be purchased only at Georgia Carpet World, 5425 14th St., Bradenton, during normal business hours. Information: 941-758-4425.

RALEIGH — A man who was arrested coming out of a Cary jewelry store minutes after a robbery in January will be moved to Pennsylvania to face charges in a jewel theft there, and the FBI has taken over the Cary case as part of a larger investigation, court papers showed Tuesday.
Rodger Kent Williams, 41, of Philadelphia, Pa., has been in jail in Wake County since three men robbed J.M. Edwards Fine Jewelers on Kildaire Farm Road on Jan. 28. An estimated $250,000 worth of merchandise was taken in the Edwards heist, and police said they recovered some of that when they arrested Williams.
Now police in State College, Pa., have charged him with a $950,000 robbery at Kranichs Jewelers Inc. on Jan. 9, according to papers filed in Wake County to have Williams extradited to Pennsylvania.
According to an affidavit filed by State College Police Det. R.W. Ralston, four men one carrying a long-barreled, silver revolver went into Kranichs while three employees were there and demanded keys to display cases. They scooped up jewelry and also took the store managers wallet, Rolex watch, a ring and a bracelet worth a total of $8,800, Ralston wrote.
Williams came to the attention of a state-federal violent crime task force in Philadelphia after he tried to sell 69 pieces of jewelry there the same afternoon, though he learned that several he thought were valuable were costume jewelry display pieces, Ralston said.
Detectives from the Philadelphia task force came to Cary early last month to talk to Williams, Ralston said, and police recovered about $2,500 worth of goods from the State College holdup later in February. Ralston said security video from both jewelry stores showed men with a similar backpack and a similar duffle bag.
State College police charged Williams with three counts of robbery one for each employee in the store that day conspiracy, firearm possession by a felon and endangering another person with the silver gun.
In North Carolina, Williams is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon because of an earlier robbery conviction in Pennsylvania.
Cary Capt. Don Hamilton said the case against Williams in Cary has been turned over to the FBI in Philadelphia because it might be connected to other cases federal investigators are pursuing.
Cary police said Williams had a silver Smith and Wesson .357 revolver when he came out the back door of Edwards and encountered a Cary officer who had just answered a 911 call about a robbery in progress. Police have been unable to find the men they said were with Williams that day.
The officer who caught Williams could stop only one man, Hamilton said, and the other two fled.
Why the robbery happened in Cary remains a mystery, Hamilton said. Police immediately began checking for relatives or other connections between Williams and the Triangle, hoping to get a lead on the other men.
Thus far, he said, they have not been able to find any explanation for why Williams would be in Wake County, and he was not helpful in conversations with Cary detectives.
Williams was still being held in the Wake County Detention Center on Wednesday in lieu of $1.5 million bail in the Cary case.

TULSA — Ralph Garza Jr., hadn't made a college start prior to Tuesday. He's got a lot more of them in his future after the way he dominated Oral Roberts in Oklahoma's 3-1 victory at J.L. Johnson Stadium.
Garza (3-0) threw a complete-game three-hitter and struck out 11 to help the Sooners win their 11th in a row.
Prior to Tuesday's start, the freshman right-hander had made seven appearances, but all had been out of the bullpen.
OU (23-4) only had eight hits, but were helped by two bases-loaded walks in the fourth inning. Max White, who went 2 for 4, had the Sooners' only RBI from a batted ball with a double to score Jack Mayfield in the second inning. White and Matt Oberste, who matched the school record by running his hitting to 27 games, drew the other bases-loaded walk.
Gavin Glanz (1-2) took the loss for the Golden Eagles (8-16).

Here is the latest Wisconsin news from The Associated Press:
SEATTLE (AP) -- Wisconsin has won its bid to be relieved of some requirements of the federal "No Child Left Behind" education law. That's according to the New York Times. A formal announcement that Washington state and Wisconsin have been granted waivers is expected today.
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin heat wave has turned deadly. The Rock County coroner's office says the death of an 83-year-old woman at her home yesterday is "definitely heat-related." The state has had several days of high temperatures near 100 degrees.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Democrat Tom Barrett spent $3.7 million in the weeks around the governor's recall election last month. Campaign finance reports also show that Governor Scott Walker spent nearly $7 million from May 22nd through June 27th. Walker has raised more than $37 million since he took office last year.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin is giving financial assistance to about 40 farmers to help boost milk production by the end of the decade. The money is intended to help the state produce 30 billion pounds of milk each year by 2020.

While sitting at the Square Room on a Saturday evening taking in the sad songs of Mary Gauthier, I came up with a brilliant idea on what Knoxville needs next. I would like to see a wrestling match between Cafe 4 and Tupelo Honey Cafe.
The theme will be a shrimp and grits showdown to determine who has the best gourmet Southern cooking in town. Consider this a throw-down in the realm of a turf war. Each restaurant can choose one cook to dress in a shrimp outfit and the two contenders can maul it out for a long period of time in a ring decorated like a bowl of grits. This event can, of course, take place at Market Square—and do not think wrestling in the precious gathering place is tacky because it has been done before. I am sure Regal will be all over this idea and want total control.
Please, I beg you to imagine this scene in your head and press rewind to view it several times: A giant fake bowl of grits with two oversized shrimp duking it to determine who wins the territory. Cafe 4 is obviously the first on the block but Tupelo Honey is internationally known, so this battle will be for the integrity of Knoxville. The Scruffy Citizen has written a few words about Asheville in relation to Knoxville's growth and I think a wrestling match is the best way to truly give the ugly city a chance for recognition in the downtown revival movement that is sweeping this nation.

I said the Stones were not playing Coachella (ever) because:
A) Someone who knows Paul Tollett personally told me three headliners and one near-headliner-scale subheadliner, none of which were the Stones
B) Someone with a history of knowing the Stones' plans told me that they had not booked any shows for 2013, likely to be the final year of touring for them, and would not do so until after their December run was complete
Person A is now saying that the Stones may be added and the Killers may be out or demoted, so I am updating my information accordingly.
When Prince headlined over Portishead, and Mystery Artist replaced Black Sabbath, Goldenvoice was "backpedaling," right? Morons.
This is the reason why it's idiotic to come in here making authoritative statements about who's headlining until it's actually on the poster. I know people who know Paul Tollett personally too. Guess what, dickheads: even what Paul thinks is going to be on the lineup isn't on the lineup when it finally comes out every fucking year. The real reason Goldenvoice is quiet about their lineup isn't just because they want it to be a surprise, it's that no one--including them--can be sure what's going to happen. To come on and claim that you know who's playing with three months left to go is idiotic as we're about to see when neither The Killers nor Muse are on there. The smart thing to do when you see that a band someone told you is going to be headlining and then they book like three nights at the Staples Center and have two shows in NY the same week as Coachella isn't to say, "My friend knows Paul Tollett therefore I am going to ignore EVERY BIT OF LOGIC IN THE FUCKING WORLD and assume that my jerk off friend--who must be an INSANELY LARGE JERK OFF since he's friends with fucking ME--is absolutely correct." It's to say, "Gee, that looks like several pieces of concrete data that absolutely contradict what I've been told. Perhaps I should take this with a grain of salt."
Tell me, is your irrationality as demonstrated here why the wife left you, Moto?

Title: LOVE!
Date: Nov 19, 2013
These are way cute and the perfect size for a toddler. They were better than regular cups because they don't spill and way cheaper than getting sippies for everyone. I was a littel bummed to find out that they aren't dishwasher safe, so we had to toss them after first use. But they were adorable and affordably served their purpose!

My dog obedience club in Daytona Beach,FL supports Military Working Dog K-9 Teams in Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany. We have followed one team from Germany to Afghanistan and back to Germany. The soldier, Sgt. Holley, has just returned to the USA but the Army has retired his dog (Johnson) in Germany. Permission was granted for this canine soldier to be adopted by his handler.
I am requesting help with ideas and contacts to make Johnson's travel back to Ft.Belvoir,Va a safe one. Our club and many supporters will gladly pay for Johnson's travel back to his owner.
I am not certain if Pilot's N Paws can help with the travel part since we are hopeful a direct flight into Dulles would be perfect as it the closest major international airport to Ft.Belvoir.
I am seeking anyone with experience in this matter to give me direction for a safe ride.
I was a an Army pilot and airline pilot for 28 years before hanging it up 20 years ago.

CLINTON — The city of Clinton's legal malpractice suit has cost $766,412 so far, which does not include the yet-to-be-determined costs from the 13-day trial.
The city is still responsible for the attorneys' and expert's hotels, travel, copies and other expenses incurred as the city tried to prove that Michael Walker and his law firm Hopkins and Huebner committed legal malpractice as they represented the city against a 2009 Federal False Claims Act lawsuit.
The city also will pay for Mayor Mark Vulich's hotel stay from the first week of the trial.
Chicago law firm Hannafan and Hannafan have been paid $530,781; Davenport firm Gosma, Tarbox and Associates, $138,577; False Claims Act expert Ronald Clark, $84,301; and Herring Reporting Services, $12,753 as of Oct. 15.
According to invoices, Hannafan received their first payment for work on the case against Walker and his firm in March 2011 and Gosma, Tarbox and Associates came in April 2012.
Walker and his firm were retained to represent the city in 2009 after former Clinton firefighter Timothy Schultheis filed a complaint under the federal False Claims Act that the city was knowingly submitting false ambulance claims to Medicare and Medicaid in order to receive higher reimbursement rates.
The False Claims Act case was settled in 2010 for $4.5 million to be paid to Schultheis and the U.S. Department of Justice in annual installments of $450,000 over the course of 10 years. Schultheis and his attorneys receive 30 percent of the settlement.
The city filed the legal malpractice suit against Walker and his firm in March 2012, alleging Walker's negligence caused the city to rush into the settlement. They sought $4.67 million to recoup the costs of the settlement and attorney and expert fees.
On Friday, a Scott County jury decided Michael Walker and his law firm Hopkins and Huebner were not negligent.
The city was awarded none of the $4.67 million.

At this juncture, a White House aide comes in to tell Biden that the president needs him downstairs for a briefing on terrorism. He nods in agreement and continues with the interview.
Bush and Cheney and Clinton and Gore famously had their weekly lunches together. Do you have regular, unstructured one-on-one time with the president?
Matter of fact, I just had lunch with the president. I spend an average of four to five hours a day with him, every single day. When I first got asked to do this job, I said, "No, thank you. I'll do anything I can to help you, but I'm not interested." Then he said, "Go home and talk it over with your family." When the actual offer came forward, he asked me what portfolio do I want, and I said, "I don't want a portfolio; I don't want to be Gore" – who was a great vice president – "I don't want to be Cheney. You said you wanted me here to help you govern, and I have a lot of experience." I wanted a commitment that I get to be the last guy in the room on every major decision – not generally, but specifically. My job is to accommodate what he wants done and, internally, to make my cases for what I think we should be doing different. So it's been a really good relationship, and everybody knows that – around here and around the world. Think about it: Even our critics have never said that when I speak, no one doubts that I speak for the president. I speak for the president because of the relationship. And the only way that works is if you're around all the time. Literally, every meeting he has, I'm in. You don't have to wonder what the other guy's thinking; I don't have to guess where the president's going. So it's been really great. Once a week, no matter what, we sit down for between 35 minutes and as long as an hour and a half, depending on what we have to say.
We talk about everything, and our wives are friends. Today, we talked about foreign policy at some length, we talked about China, we talked about Russia and we talked about Syria. So that's more than you wanted to know, but this is the nature of the relationship, and that's why it works.
We have very different styles, but we are simpatico. At all the debates we had – trying to get the nomination in '08 – we're the only two who never disagreed on a single substantive issue. He has a great line. He said, "We're the ultimate odd couple," he says. "We make up for each other's shortcomings." He makes up for a hell of a lot more of mine than I do of his, but it's worked. When you leave the Senate, they let you buy your Senate chair. I have two sons, and I didn't know what to do. He said, "Look, give Beau your chair; I'll give Hunter my chair." So Hunter has President Obama's chair from when he was a senator. That's major league. On Saturday mornings, it's not at all unusual to see the president, the first lady and the second lady and the vice president sitting in a little tiny gym in suburban Maryland, watching my granddaughter Maisy and his daughter Sasha in this basketball league. The president always talks about my granddaughter on national television: "She's going D1." "Mr. President, didn't your daughter's team win their championship?" "Yeah, it was because of the vice president's granddaughter Maisy Biden."
Considering how busy you are, do you have time to read books? If so, which ones would you recommend?
I make the time because it's important. Let's see. There is a good book titled The River of Doubt, by Candice Millard, about Teddy Roosevelt's exploration of the Amazon in Brazil. I knew nothing about this. My goodness, let's see. There's Mr. Putin, by Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy. Insightful. He's an interesting man. Anyone who's traveled with me to Afghanistan knows why I love this book: War, by Sebastian Junger. And that reminds me of another book, Lessons in Disaster, by Gordon Goldstein. There's a great line in there where LBJ turns to [National Security Adviser] McGeorge Bundy and says, "How can we win this war in Vietnam?" And Bundy says something like, "Sir, we don't know how to win the war, but we know how not to lose it."

Personal Branding and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
by Valerie Sokolosky - Sep, 2010
In the 1960s, psychologist Abraham Maslow introduced his hierarchy of needs—the things a human being needs most in a sequence that builds one on top of the other. By using this hierarchy, it helps us understand the actions and motivations of others as well as ourselves. There are five levels of human needs and each must be fulfilled before the next level can be realized. Here are the five levels (in inverse order) of Maslow'...
Is My Personality Killing My Chances?
by Rob Taub - Sep, 2010
If you feel your enthusiasm and focus on being the best you can be, either in an interview or on the job, may be working against you, you may want to rein in your enthusiasm and moderate your intensity to some degree. Nevertheless, and more often than not, it is a matter of developing good communication sense. Is my personality killing my chances? "Communication skills" and "communication sense" are not the same. Good co...
Job Search Tips for Multicultural Job Seekers
by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2010
I just returned from the National Resume Writers' Association annual conference where I heard career professionals Murray Mann and Makini Harvey speak about multicultural recruiting. There is a great opportunity for multicultural candidates to embrace their diversity and showcase their differences to hiring managers in an effort to build a strong diversity brand and be found for current openings. Here are some of my key takeaw...
A Simple "Thank You" Goes a Long Way
by Kathy Bornheimer - Sep, 2010

Since the publication of those works use of technology and Social Networking (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) has increased greatly. So, let's look at this again. People love to be acknowledged and recognized for what they do or have done. This would include an interview, providing you with a ref...
7 Overused and Worn-Out Phrases to Avoid on Your Resume
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010
If you've constantly looked at other resumes to get ideas, borrowing words here and there, you might find that employers are on to your game. Weary of reading the same phrases over and over again, hiring managers are starting to expect more from top candidates who want to stand out in the crowded job market. Here are 7 phrases that appear far too often on resumes, with recommendations on how to improve your wording for a s...
How to Create a Powerful Leadership Resume by Quantifying Achievements
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010
Trying to tell employers the story of a long and successful executive career on your resume? Unfortunately, describing yourself as a seasoned, skilled, or experienced leader won't cut it as much as showing the results of what you've done. Quantifying the results of your work, especially when it comes to the bottom line, will tell companies why they can count on you to produce similar gains for them, and will underscore your...
Is Your Career Goal Realistic?
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010
If you're not gaining the response you want from your job hunt, there can be several reasons: lack of hiring in your desired field, a watered-down resume that doesn't represent your skills, shotgun job-search tactics like applying to every job you see, or an over-the-top, unrealistic goal for your next position. The latter situation can occur when you're unsure how your skills tie into different rungs on the career ladder,...
6 Common Sense Job Search Tips
by Lindsey Pollak - Sep, 2010
Last week's post, "5 Simple But Brilliant Job Interview Strategies," generated a lot of feedback, particularly from recruiters who told me how often job seekers make seemingly obvious mistakes such as spelling a recruiter's name incorrectly. This reminded me of the fact that, as Voltaire famously said, "Common sense is not so common." So today I wanted to share some additional seemingly simple career tips that many job seek...
It's 2010…Do You Know Where Your Digital Footprint Is?
by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2010
I'm headed out to Dallas to present a hands-on workshop on social media strategies for job seekers to my colleagues at this year's National Resume Writers' Association Conference. Resumes are an important marketing tool, but I believe that a resume is naked without a corresponding social media strategy. Over 90% of recruiters perform Internet searches on candidates before making a hiring decision, and more than half of empl...
How to Protect Your Career if a Tornado Hits
by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2010
Last week a tornado ripped through parts of Queens, New York. New Yorkers aren't exactly used to tornadoes and the event really took us by surprise. The storm passed through the neighborhood where I grew up and I still have many friends and family there. Several of them posted pictures of the storm's aftermath on Facebook to capture the devastation. One friend shared a picture of a weeping willow tree that had been broken...

Sixth-graders at the Triangle Math and Science Academy in Raleigh worked in teams to build and race cars powered by solar panels as they learned about renewable energy and conservation.
Members of the race's first-place team were Ethan Godwin, Bram Lovelace, Srisheel Gunnisetti and Alec Lee. They will represent the school in the Energy Whiz Olympics in Orlando in May. The second-place team was Ananyaa Sundar, Shalini Subramanian, Sam Sapkota and Rishika Gaddam. They will compete in an Energy Whiz Olympics event in Virginia, also in May.
The students, whose cars demonstrated what they'd learned about energy conversion, are taught by Isa Pamuk.

As some follows of Wire to the Ear know I moved from Berlin, Germany back to New York about three months ago. I bought an apartment in the city that needs a complete renovation. Not only do I have a new apartment to renovate I also bought a two car garage I am turning into what I hope will be an amazing studio. Because the apartment needs a complete gut my wife and I have been staying in the upstairs apartment in my mother's house in Rockland County. Rockland is a typical New York suburb just about 20 minutes north of the city. It's actually quite nice and I am very familiar with the area because I grew up here. The photo above is Ma's house.
When I was in College at Suny Purchase I took a class called Social Sciences in the Arts. I never forgot a lesson the professor thought was important. The basic gist was that no artist made any art without an audience in mind. This ties into my Rockland chat above because I've been doodling a lot music wise on my laptop over the past three months and realize I am making tunes for my mother and Doug (her husband). Little diddy's about the car they own, a song about the fact that my mother is top sales lady at her office and a song about Milo their dog. Milo is incredible cute (see photo below) but without a doubt is the boss here. He has these treats called "Dingos" which he demands often. When I say he demands them I mean it. A few of us will be in the kitchen talking and he will walk in, bark and growl loudly until someone gives him a Dingo. So without further ado here's the song I did called "Milo the Bad Dog":
Please keep in mind this is no way an official song or anything that I will ever release for sale. It's just a fun blip that took about 40 minutes last night. I used the few simple plug-ins I have on my laptop and I sang in the bedroom using the Macbook Pro's built-in mic. The drums are an Ableton Impluse with D16 Devastor on them. The synths are an old ReFx Vanguard and Fabfilter Twin.
Today when I got back from the gym the birds in the driveway were extra loud so I took a photo of the tree they were all in and recorded 30 seconds of audio for you. I used the Griffin iTalk app on my iPhone. You can hear the birds and cars going by on Route 340.
Something tells me when my apartment is ready I'm going to miss suburban life.

I had to go to the Social Security office in downtown Brooklyn. I took the 4 Train back into NYC. I feel at home when I hear, "Stand clear of the closing doors please.".
Julie and I needed to waste some time before we met friends for Julie's birthday so we stopped by Guitar Center to visit my friend Dan who works there. You can hear some Reggae in the background. I think all music stores around the world sound incredible similar.
My friend Leslie (on the right) needed to get a new piercing so we stopped by one of New York's famous Tattoo parlors Adorned. I like the song that's playing. Does anyone know what it is? Buzz buzz!
Time for the celebration so we head to Supper. It's a great Italian restaurant owned by Frank Prisinzano who became well known in NYC with one of his other spots simply called "Franks". The food was great but as you can hear it was well loud. My poor musicians ears would have preferred a much quieter place but this is Manhattan on a Friday night.
All the recordings were done on my iPhone using the Griffin iTalk application. You can download and use these recordings for whatever you like. Here's a download link for the 16bit aiff files. Included is a bonus audio file recorded on the F-train:

Before I got picked up to play my gig at 12PM on New Year's Eve I went to the bar of the Apollo Art Hotel in Brugge, Belgium to get a coffee. I used my iPhone to snap a photo of the other working musician in the room. I also used my iPhone and the Griffin iTalk app to record a little of the bar sound and in the distance you can hear the keyboard player twinkling some bell sounds.
When I returned to the hotel around 3:00 AM he was definetly drunk, standing and singing loudly. These are the guys buying all those workstation keyboards. He was pretty talented but I guess taste accounts for a lot in life. He definetly worked harder than I did.

I've wanted to pick up one of those little flash audio recorders for a while. You know the ones such as the popular Zoom H2 and pretty looking Sony PCM-D50. I never got around to grabbing one and I'm really glad. It turns out my iPhone makes a pretty sweet recorder.
I downloaded the Griffin iTalk app from the iTunes store and recorded a few clips. iTalk records AIFF files using the iPhone's built in mic. You hit a nice large red record button and it displays a green "recording" symbol and an input meter. If you pause and start recordings and they remain in the same file. You can name and add notes to your files on the phone. To transfer the recordings to your Mac you install a small program called iTalk Sync which once launched detects your iPhone. A few clicks and you can drag the files from the iTalk Sync window to your desktop. Everything works smooth and easy but how does it sound? I will let you be the judge:
My mother tells me about her day at work:
My step father Doug talks about the weather:
On the check out line at ShopRite (a supermarket):
Some vocals I recorded with Julie for a book reading. I added a gate, compressor and eq on this one:
You can download the 24bit wavs: click here
The main "wow" factor here for me is the fact that I have my phone with me everywhere I go so therefore I now have a neat recorder everywhere I go too!
So what do you think?

Benjamin Alard, Harpsichord and Organ: "Alard Plays Bach"
Join us in the glorious acoustic of All Souls' Church for performances on both organ and harpsichord by a rising star in baroque music. Benjamin Alard is a French organist and harpsichordist who won the Bruges International Harpsichord Competition in 2004 at age nineteen. His studies include harpsichord with Andrea Marcon and organ with Jean-Claude Zehnder at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. In 2005 he was named titular organist of St. Louis-en-l'Île, Paris, where he plays the stunning new Aubertin baroque organ. Benjamin Alard's program will include works by Bach, including early works and a French Suite for harpsichord, and an assortment of organ works including a trio sonata and chorale preludes performed on All Souls' superb Fritts-Richards tracker action organ. (Note: general admission, no assigned seating.)
A new star is born at the Musical Antiqua competition of Bruges; the whole presentation was fabulous, full of inspiration, authority, mastership and seductiveness. – Martine Mergeay, La Libre Belgique
Alard shows a stimulating curiosity and an infallible technique. A talent to follow closely. – Roger Tellart, La Lettre du Musicien
