Last week, I gathered a group of community members with various disabilities to discuss their priorities for the Nov. 2 election.
In the United States, there are 33.7 million people of voting age with disabilities. Voting is a fundamental right. Electing the candidates who will work for all of us is a tremendous responsibility.
The people I met with have a variety of hidden emotional and physical disabilities, including asthma, heart disease, colitis and depression.
"We are different people, but we're concerned about many of the same things," said Denise. "We care about employment, Social Security, our natural environment, BATA, access at our parks, local control of our health care system, access to all community services and activities, and insurance regulation.
"We also want elected officials to guarantee that stimulus dollars will be spent in a way that benefits everyone, including people with disabilities," she said.
Tonya is a young mother with a hearing impairment. She is frustrated by the lack of professional interpreters in the area. She depends on texting to communicate.
"It's unusual for me to find a certified interpreter when I'm seeking legal assistance, visiting a medical center or governmental office," Tonya said. "I have never met a candidate who reached out to people who are deaf. I want elected officials to enforce the (Americans with Disabilities Act). I want them to respect, learn about and represent voters with disabilities."
James is a student who struggles with mental illness. He's concerned there are too few treatment services in the area.
"I want equality and fairness between the government dollars that are allocated for mental health illnesses compared to physical health issues," he said. "Mental health receives far less. I've been incarcerated in our local jail. Too many people with mental illness are in jail instead of receiving mental health services. I've met many military veterans in jail, too. I'm concerned about the long wait for available services and the strict criteria for receiving services. I want the complaints my family and I have made about area mental health services to be taken seriously. I also wonder why our community has so few aftercare programs."
I also met with senior citizens with mobility and sight issues. They're concerned about abuse and neglect in area facilities. They also worry that people living on a fixed income are being left out of community planning decisions.
"Many of our friends are in long-term care centers," said one. "We're fierce advocates for protecting seniors and persons with disabilities from exploitation. We want more dollars spent for police and the prosecuting of people who hurt those who are vulnerable."
Todd and Sylvia are middle-aged parents of a son with autism. They've been reading about the changing regulations related to the use of seclusion and restraint in the schools.
They feel as though they're constantly battling the schools to ensure their son receives the education he deserves. They're especially interested in the school board election.
For me, I'm concerned all precincts are accessible. Accessibility includes everything from ramps, assistive devices, parking and signage to knowledgeable and respectful poll workers.
Years ago, my precinct had to be changed because an elevator to the voting area wasn't working. Recently, people have told me their precincts have suddenly been changed without notice, sometimes resulting in more accessibility issues.
Reviews appear mixed regarding the AutoMARK accessible voting machines. When the machine first came out, I was part of a pilot group with the secretary of state's Bureau of Elections. People with various disabilities gave their feedback prior to the adoption of the machines. Anyone can use the machines but people with disabilities do not have to use the machines.
I want people with disabilities to vote. I want voters to ask the candidates the tough questions. I want the candidates to come to where we live, work, educate and recreate, and learn about us and our concerns.
I want us to count and be counted.

By Katie Dahlstrom Herald Assistant Editor
The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — More than two decades after it started shaping Clinton leaders, the Leadership Institute is making changes that will return the program to its core.
The Leadership Institute is put on annually by the Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce with the Leadership Committee guiding the program.
Unlike previous years, the class will not be expected to raise additional money in order to complete a class project. Projects in past years include lighting the bike path and the welcome sign for the city.
"The past classes of the Leadership Institute have done some phenomenal projects," Leadership Committee Co-chairman Nate Kreinbrink said. "Not that we want to take anything away from that, but I think re-evaluting the mission of the Leadership Institute and where we want to go with it we want to give people opportunities to choose to get involved in projects on their own."
Instead of raising money for a project, part of the $450 tuition fee will be held back for the class to use as seed money for a project if they choose.
Leadership Committee members, who are all alumni of the Leadership Institute, started ruminating the idea to eliminate the required project aspect a few years ago. Last year's class spending some of their project money to help the Convention and Visitors Bureau's new website solidified the idea.
"We want the project to be a want to more than a have to," Chamber President and CEO Nathan Sondgeroth said. "We want this to be an incubator and have that little bit of capital available to start the ball in motion."
Also new this year are partnerships with Clinton Community College, Ashford University and Iowa State University, which officials hope will add some credibility and focus on leadership skills that employers, participants and the community will benefit from.
The program's time frame was condensed while increasing the content of each class.
The program runs from Jan. 14 to May 27. Class participants meet from 8 to 11 a.m. every other Tuesday to learn about topics that span different aspects of leadership such as economic development, health care, the history of Clinton, government and more.
"I think this has been a vision of a lot of people for numerous years," Kreinbrink said. "Being so close to kicking it off, I'm anxious, excited. I'm ready to get this going."
There is a limited amount of spots left for the 2014 class, which are expected to fill up by Jan. 1. A kick-off party for the new members and past graduates is slated for Jan. 9.

FORT PIERCE -- Lawnwood Stadium was a cauldron of noise and excitement Friday night.
The hometown Fort Pierce Central Cobras were not only riding an 11-game winning streak into a Class 7A-Region 3 final, but they were getting the chance to take on the Manatee Hurricanes, considered the nation's top team by ESPN, MaxPreps and USA Today.
Approximately 9,000 filled the large stadium, thanks in part to the impressive contingent of Manatee fans that made the long trip over from Bradenton.
By halftime, however, only one side was making any noise.
The visitor's side.
The Hurricanes continued
their special season Friday with a 51-0 rout of the Cobras, sending Manatee (13-0) into next week's state semifinal against Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.
"There's only four left," Manatee coach Joe Kinnan told his team, which has now won 25 straight games and four consecutive regional titles.
Manatee attacked from all angles. Running back Trevon Walters ran for 155 yards and scored three times. Quarterback Cord Sandberg threw five touchdowns, four to receiver Ja Juan Pollock.
And the Hurricanes defense allowed just 145 yards of offense to a Cobras team that had scored nearly 400 points this season.
It may have been Manatee's first postseason game in an opponent's stadium in nearly two years. But the Hurricanes were the furthest thing from rusty.
"We had a good time. We had a lot of fun, had a good meal," Kinnan said. "A lot of these kids have been on two airplane flights to play two teams out of state."
Next stop: the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders, the only ones standing between Manatee and a second straight trip to the Class 7A state title game.

Cameras in Courtroom Sought for Murder Hearings
Naperville: Requests for cameras in the courtroom have been filed for upcoming hearings in two high-profile Naperville murder cases, court records show. On Dec. 11, a motion was filed seeking to have cameras in place for Daniel Olaska's next appearance in February. The judge set a Jan. 7 hearing to discuss the request. Olaska is charged with stabbing a Naperville schoolteacher during a bar altercation earlier this year. A similar request also has been made for cameras to cover Elzbieta Plackowska's next court date. Plackowska is accused of stabbing two children to death in October. Her arraignment marked the first time a camera was allowed in a Chicago-area courtroom. Her next scheduled court appearance is set for Jan. 4, but a judge will hear the media request on Dec. 19, records show.

Two major transportation issues plague much of eastern Morris County: How to handle additional vehicle traffic when new large developments are planned, and the dearth of parking at three key NJ Transit stations.
So two studies aim to develop solutions for those problems.
The first study is an examination of the East Hanover Avenue corridor from Whippany Road in Hanover to Speedwell Avenue in Morris Plains. Those two municipalities, Morris Township and Morris County are conducting the study. It was sought after Hanover changed zoning along the road to entice new businesses, and plans for at least four new potential developments appeared.
The second study is of the parking and business development potential of the , and NJ Transit train stations. Each station has inadequate parking and potentially could support transit-oriented development, the study proposal said.
Each study is funded by a $300,000 regional transportation grant from the state Department of Transportation.
If the solutions generated by these studies are implemented, officials said, they should provide relief for the region's drivers, commuters, businesses and their employees.
"A major issue for companies is traffic," said Paul Boudreau, president of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce.
Monday through Wednesday of this week, Patch looks at the state of Morris County economic development at the close of 2011.
A Problem for Our Workforce
The chamber annually conducts meetings with the top executives of Morris county companies. This year the effort took place in Parsippany, where traffic concerns were raised, he said.
The concerns range, not just about heavy traffic on the region's interstate highways, but about the ability of workers who choose not to drive to get from bus stops and transit stations to their workplaces.
The transportation/work nexus is also affected by the price of housing in Morris County, numerous studies have said.
Origination and destination studies—they compare where people live, where they work, and the routes and means they use to get from home to work and back— done by Morris and Sussex counties and the North Jersey Regional Transportation Authority, had highlighted that the high cost of housing in Morris County has driven many workers to live in less expensive areas like Sussex and Warren counties and Pennsylvania.
A study of the working class done by the United Way of Northern New Jersey said that many necessary workers are forced to live far from their jobs because of the cost of housing, and the loss of time and impact on their household budgets affects their ability to get ahead financially.
Freeholder Gene Feyl, who is first vice chairman at NJTPA, said the authority is charged with measuring the economic impact of transportation policy.
A 2008 study of the economic impact of planned transportation investment in New Jersey by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development and the Center for Urban Policy Research at Rutgers University examined how much economic activity could be generated by the state's planned 10-year transportation spending plan of $38 billion.
The study excluded some costs, such as the purchase of new train cars and buses, and said that use of $26.6 billion of that total for direct transportation improvements has the potential over 10 years to generate 268,324 jobs; $14.9 billion in personal income; $20.3 billion in state gross domestic product; $747 million in state taxes; and $797 million in local taxes.
East Hanover Avenue Corridor
Feyl said the goal of the East Hanover study is to determine what road improvements might be needed to accommodate additional traffic generated by the proposed developments.
That way the road work can be incorporated into the planning board process, and developer's responsibility and contribution to the cost of the changes could be determined.
Morris Plains Mayor Frank Druetzler said East Hanover is a very congested road, especially where it meets Speedwell Avenue in the borough.
He said Hanover is planning some large developments, as well as one near American Road. Those and the potential of two shopping centers farther east have the potential to affect borough traffic.
He said that when , the project included traffic improvements like turning lanes, he said.
The early technical study released in November examined the current conditions and potential impacts by 2035 of adding the following developments: 60 town homes on American Road; a Shop Rite center and a 20,000 office center on opposite corners at the Martin Luther King Boulevard and Horsehill Road intersection; and a 90,000-square-foot shopping center at Ridgedale Avenue.
In general the concerns include congestion at several intersections, the lack of turning lanes at key intersections and long queues during rush hours.
At present 3,317 cars pass through all directions of the East Hanover/Speedwell intersection in Morris Plains during the morning rush hour.
Traffic approaching from the east on Hanover backs up currently each morning to Stiles Avenue and beyond, and will continue to do so in 2035.
During the evening rush hour, 3,309 vehicles pass through intersection in all directions.
Currently the westbound backup at that time is about one-half mile, or to the Mercedes-Benz dealership. By 2035, the west bound back-up is projected to stretch 4,500 feet, more than eight-tenths of a mile to the Mennen Co. headquarters.
At the eastern end of the road, 2,283 card pass through the Whippany Road intersection in the morning, and 2,539 vehicles pass through there each evening rush hour.
Currently morning queue is about one-half mile, and by 2035 it is projected to be three-quarters of a mile.
The Train Stations
Gerald Rohsler, director of the Morris County Division of Transportation management said the three-station transit study is designed to find solutions to tight parking at each facility, and to investigate other transportation means, including walking and biking.
The study should get underway in January. Public information sessions will be scheduled as the study unfolds, he said.
The executive summary of the proposed study said the three stations provide access to the NJ Transit Morris & Essex line between two rail hubs, and .
The stations are similar in service and the number of riders who use them. Each station also has similar parking concerns, the study said.
NJ Transit agreed that the three stations be studied as a unit "due to the services currently offered and the regional needs that will be addressed by actions taken at all three stations," the summary said.
Potential improvements at could be examined during the study are: pedestrian improvements; the addition of a shuttle system; or a parking deck.
The study will take a "comprehensive approach" to the traffic and transit issues along Route 124 (Madison Avenue) corridor, the summary said.
A 2010 study by NJ Transit of the three stations found that there is a potential parking shortfall by 2030 of 320 spaces: 80 at Convent Station; 230 at Madison; and 10 at Chatham.
All the stations offer chiefly resident only parking, with a small number of non-resident spaces. The summary said that 70 percent of Madison's future parking need are for resident parking.
"Parking management policies appear to make the shortfall of parking worse for non-residents of the area because of the imbalance between resident and non-resident parking demand and supply," the summary said.
Madison failed to secure a federal TIGER grant for a 506-space parking deck planned to be built adjacent to the train station.
The summary said that this study is one of several such on-going efforts to enhance mobility in southeast Morris County, including a state traffic light project and the potential of a regional shuttle bus service to Madison.
This study follows one done in conjunction with the development of The Green at Florham Park on Park Avenue, and another done by Morris County and six municipalities to measure the impact of that development on numerous side and feeder streets.
This area east of Morristown has seen numerous developments start or begin planning, include the Florham Park project that is now the home of the New York Jets, and in the future, BASF, and other facilities, new projects leading into Madison, and the planned redevelopment of Honeywell International on Columbia Turnpike in Morris Township, adjacent to the Convent Station rail station.

The best way to find out what kind of a basketball game Jaren Sina is having is to watch the man guarding him.
If the Gill St. Bernard's senior point guard takes a long deep breath and sighs in resignation before tugging on his shorts and taking a defense stance, you know Sina is doing pretty well.
The Lake Hopatcong resident is a menace to anyone who is trying to cover him on the court. Sina recently signed his National Letter of Intent to play basketball at Northwestern University next fall.
Preseason workouts are underway for the Knights in preparation for their season and home opener on December 14 against Our Saviour New American of Centereach, N.Y.
Sina was heavily recruited by numerous Division I programs and was more than happy to end the selection process with the stroke of a pen. He had given an early verbal commitment to the University of Alabama but rescinded it and took his time in making a final decision.
"It was really hectic,'' Sina said. "Every night you are getting six or seven calls, sometimes more than that and every day letters. You have schools calling you every day. It's crazy. It's not a bad problem to have but it's tough balancing it out with friends and schoolwork.
"Sometimes you have a certain amount of schools you want to consider but you have so many more coming in and so many great programs at the (same) time. It's tough to balance it out.''
Sina's relationship with Northwestern assistant coach Fred Hill was one reason for his choice. Hill had been in contact with Sina since he was a high school freshman and Hill was the head coach at Rutgers University. Another selling point was the school itself. Northwestern is long regarded as one of the top educational institutions of the Midwest.
"Playing in the Big 10 (conference) is huge,'' Sina said. "It's one of the biggest conferences in the country with the ACC. It's a top 10 academic program. I think I have a good shot of playing right away as a freshman. Those are the great factors for me. The campus was beautiful and it's right outside of Chicago. It's a big city. You have Lake Michigan out there and the suburban areas. You have the best of both worlds right there.''
When it comes to professional sports, Sina is a huge Chicago Bulls fan and being able to watch his favorite team all the time and perhaps even attend a game or two in person was a mark in Northwestern's favor, too.
Like many high school athletes, signing on the dotted line and setting his future in motion provided Sina a sense of relief.
"It was exciting,'' Sina said. "I was just happy to get it out of the way. Signing that document obviously meant that I was accepted for a scholarship. I was happy about that, just to get it out of the way. Now I can focus on getting better. It's not as stressful now.''
Seton Hall, Miami, Memphis and Pittsburgh were other schools he seriously considered. The Northwestern University basketball program was just as pleased to get Sina, who is considered to be a savvy, pass-first point guard.
Sina grew up around the sport. His father Mergin Sina played at Seton Hall University and University of Rhode Island before competing professionally in Europe for 13 years. The Sina family moved to Lake Hopatcong in 2000. Some of Jaren Sina's earliest memories revolve around the basketball court.
"I've just always been around it,'' Jaren Sina said. "It's something where every time I'm on the court—even if I'm having a bad day—it's fun for me. It's always relaxing when I'm on the court. I'm not thinking of anything else but basketball.''
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound athlete averaged more than 20 points and 8 rebounds a game for the 28-4 Knights last season. As a shooter he has tremendous range. He shot 42.9 percent from 3-point range last season and is very comfortable in stepping back to knock down shots from way behind the arc. However it's what Sina brings to the game mentally that makes him such a sought after recruit.
"He has a high IQ,'' Gill St. Bernard's Coach Mergin Sina said. "He understands that positioning of the offense. He makes the right play all the time. He gets the game. He almost slows it down to a point where the right play happens. He really has a great feel for the game.''
Sina has been a key player for the Knights since his freshman year. He has more than 1,600 points in his varsity career and with a good season may become the school's all-time leading scorer.
Gill St. Bernards, a school which is located in Gladstone and straddles the border of Morris and Somerset Counties, is expecting to have another sensational year. The Knights advanced to the Non-Public B final before losing to the eventual Tournament of Champions winner St. Anthony's of Jersey City by a 67-39 score last March. Despite losing some key players (Dominic Hoffman, Alex Mitola) from last year's team, the Knights have a good core returning and a new group of transfers. They believe they have added some quality to their team.
"We have more depth,'' Jaren Sina said. "I think we are more athletic. We have some new pieces so we have to make sure the chemistry is still strong. The new guys have to fit their way into the offense. There will be some tough points early, but I think we will be a better team at the end of the season.''
Now that the distractions are out of the way, Sina can focus on what he likes to do, playing basketball and having a senior season to remember while occasionally checking in on his team of the future.
"Now I know where I'm going and I can watch that team on TV and see where I'm going to fit in there and what I need to work on to play at that level,'' Jaren Sina said. "I like it because it keeps you motivated and when you see your team playing on ESPN, it's kind of exciting to think that next year I get to play there.''

Town of Oneonta residents have been well-represented by Rich Murphy the past several years, first as town board member and then as county board representative, and I would like to express my appreciation to him for his dedication. Fortunately, town voters have a qualified successor willing and able to continue the hard work and reasoned consideration we have come to expect from our representative, and that is Dan Buttermann.
I recently had the opportunity for a lengthy conversation with Dan, and I found him to be intelligent, thoughtful, and enthusiastic in discussing his hopes and plans for our town and county. He obviously has spent much time and effort studying and considering the important issues facing county government — issues such as a fair distribution of tax dollars, long-range methods to build the local economy, preparing for the end of MOSA, and long-term planning for the future. When I asked him about a specific concern of mine, the increased partisanship of the county board, he assured me that he, too, had given that much thought and is eager to work with all representatives, regardless of political affiliation, to resolve important issues. Further, he feels that his background in working with all parties in insurance claims and negotiating settlements gives him a unique perspective and experience to do just that.
Although we are losing a hard-working and very able representative with Rich Murphy's decision to step down, I believe Dan will be an equally conscientious and well-informed county board member. I urge town residents to cast their votes for Dan Buttermann on election day.

Your Code is Coming in the _____
Can you find your DVD-viewing software? You might not know you have it if you don't know where to look.
Thanks to some fun hacks (and ideas for hacks), it could be in an image or sound file, like this one here, by Andrea Gnesutta, who won Best High Tech Entry for "hack value" in the Great International DVD Source Code Distribution Contest. The contest concluded yesterday, just in time for the latest court hearing in the DVD CCA case.
Samuel Goldstein won Best Low Tech Entry for "reverse hack" value: a CD launch by helium balloon.
And the Greatest Number of Copies Distributed winner was the DVD Copyright Control Association, Inc. The method: "File a motion for a temporary restraining against 500+ individuals for distributing or linking to DVD source code. Include in the complaint the URLs where the accused have published the software, or links to it."
The contest was the brainchild of Don Marti of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (SVLUG), who also organized Burn All GIFs day and gave us the Operating System Sucks/Rules-O-Meter, among other subversive and enjoyable things (like the title of his page, "free live nude Linux MP3s").
In addition to Mr. Marti, Judges included: Chris DiBona, author, Linux evangelist and President of SVLUG; Rick Moen, Linux activist and author; Deirdre Saoirse programmer, DVD maven and MBA student; Eric S. Raymond, hacker, author and President of the Open Source Initiative; and yours truly.
The DVD-CCA case is a complicated one that is far more completely explained elsewhere. For more, visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation site, The Ultimate DeCSS Resource Site, and Don Marti's press release with the full contest results.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Circle High school in Towanda requires some of its students to sell advertising as part of their coursework.
The school requires its students to sell ads in Yearbook and Newspaper classes.
The more ads sold the better their grade.
Some parents find this practice extremely offensive, they say it grade for sale. The course syllabus explains how it works. Students need to sell $400 worth of ads to get an A; $350 to get a B; and at the very least they must hit a $300 quota.
Dustin Randolph, Circle High Students says he believes the rules are wrong. he says he could get an A by being the worst writer.
But Circle High Superintendent, Dr. Bob Albers disagrees he says selling teaches kids how to deal with the public. He also says ad sales only account for 10% to !5% of the students grades.
But what about wealthy students just buying the ads and the grade that goes along with it. Dr. Albers says "the fact that one student may have an easier times than another, that happens in every situation."
He says the policy has been on the books for years and he has no plans of changing it.
Officials with the Kansas State Board of Education say there are no laws against basing grades on selling. School grading policies are left up to each individual school.

Caltrain is asking riders to share their thoughts and experiences with the railway system as part of a year-long campaign titled "See Something – Say Something."
The campaign, which kicks off this month, encourages passengers to promote safety through the rail system and reminds customers of safe behavior near the railroads, agency spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
Even the average person needs to exercise caution in public places and serve as the eyes and ears for the community, she said.
Each month, Caltrain will highlight a different safety message, some of which target system-wide safety and others that emphasize personal responsibility around an active railroad.
Riders will see messages on the electronic station signs, on the agency's website, using social media outlets and through announcements onboard the train.
This month's message reminds customers that, "We can all count on a safe ride if we look out for each other."
Caltrain passengers have made the system part of their regular routine, making the rider most likely to notice when something seems out of place or when someone is behaving in an unsafe manner.

With a berth in the 5A Fast Pitch Softball State Tournament at stake, Tahlequah High School plays host to the Regional 6 Tournament on Thursday and Friday at the softball field on North Moccasin Avenue.
The tournament begins Thursday and is a standard double-elimination format. Tahlequah (33-3) faces Tulsa Edison (10-25) at noon and Coweta (17-17) plays Shawnee (14-15) at 2 p.m. Losers play at 4 p.m. and winners at 6 p.m.
The Lady Tigers have not faced Edison this season, but have played the other teams in their region. Tahlequah defeated Coweta twice, 3-0 and 3-1. THS also earned a 3-0 victory over Shawnee in the Coweta Tournament.
"Everyone I've talked to says we should be fine if we throw strikes against Edison," said THS coach Matt Cloud. "In fact we should be OK in this region as long as we throw strikes."
Tahlequah has enjoyed tremendous success during the 2013 season while working with a roster of only 12 players.
"We don't have a big superstar," Cloud said. "In every game, somebody else steps up. Plus, they really like each other. I've coached some very good teams with kids who didn't like each other. The camaraderie this team has has been key to this team's success throughout the season. The chemistry has pushed us over the top in some big, close games."
Cloud added coaching the Lady Tigers is straightforward as they head into regional play.
"Other than some fine-tuning, this team is on cruise control," he said. "We have five seniors - three have been in the program since they were freshmen. On game day, everyone is ready. The dugout is set up and they have begun stretching. They may sometimes ask what they should have done or need to do in a specific situation, but otherwise they know what to do."
As the playoffs approach, Cloud said the team has devoted little discussion to the post-season, instead concentrating on the close of the regular schedule.
"This isn't meant to sound arrogant, but we expect to win the regional, and a lot of other people expect it," he said. "We do need to keep in mind that we're going to get the absolute best effort from every one of our opponents."
Cloud said the Lady Tigers, though relaxed, are also focused.
"There are 32 teams that want in the state tournament, but only eight get to go," Cloud said.
"With all the time and effort this team has put in, I don't think they are going to be denied that trip to state."
On Friday, the loser of game 4 and winner of game 3 meet at noon.
The victor advances to play at 2 p.m. against the winner of game 4.
The game 4 winner must win one of two games for a berth in the state tournament, while the opponent must win both games to advance.
If necessary, a second championship game starts at 4 p.m.
Admission to the 5A Regional 6 Tournament is $5 for students and adults.

Thousands of people watched in amazement Friday evening as two motorcyclists jumped 40 feet into the air while doing aerial stunts during Windber Rumbles, one of numerous Thunder in the Valley festivities.
"My heart stopped," said Deb Walker of Windber, while Seth Elliott and Dean Dotson of East Coast Free Style Motorcross sped up ramps while jumping four stories in height and
70 feet in length in the center of town.
"If they were my children, they would not be doing that."
Darlene Turner of Hoovers-ville said the jumpers did a good job.
"They are wonderful and scary," she said about their dangerous stunts.
Melody Whitaker of Windber was at the event with her son, Caleb, 7, and two neighbor children, Emily and Joey.
"It's exciting and terrifying at the same time," she said about the show. "I'm afraid they're going to crash.
Wayne Gnagey of Salisbury, who was at the event with his wife, Melissa, said it was the first time he has seen such a motorcycle show in person.
"It's pretty cool," he said.
Brian Eichenlaub of Altoona, who along with his girlfriend, Hollie Price of Bedford, drove their motorcycles to the event, said the motorcyclists put on a good show.
"The guys rode well," he said. "You can tell they are experienced, and that they had control of their bikes."
Tracy Horner of Windber, who watched the show with his wife, Sheli, and their daughter, Maylon, 8, said they always support Windber events.
Maylon said she had a good time at the event because she was able to see her friends from school.
"I liked the bike show," Maylon said.
Chris and Karen Golden of Westmont said they came to the event to see the motorcycle jumpers.
Mrs. Golden said they missed the motorcycle show last year because they were having dinner at the Windber Hotel and could not get out in time because of many people ahead of them ordering the good food.
Hunter Miller, 10, Johns-town, who was at the show with his mother, Carey, and sister, Molly, 17, said the motorcycles were cool.
"My favorite jump was the Superman," he said about the how the motorcyclists jumped while in a prone position.
Scott Mulhollen, Richland Township, was at the event with his daughter, Kyra, 14, and son, Brett, 8.
"It was mind-blowing," Kyra said about the motorcycle show.
"It was scary at some points."
Dale Phillips, Windber, said he walked a mile to see the motorcyclists.
"I thought it was a very good show," he said.
Bill Blackburn, Bedford, said he thought the show was awesome.
"I just came over to get away from home, have a little fun, and get something to eat," he said.
The event was organized by the Windber Volunteer Fire Company.
Assistant fire Chief Bob Haddad said the event was going well. "The crowd is building," he said before the motorcycle show started. "The vendors are doing well. We certainly are thankful for the nice weather."
One of the 23 vendors at the event were the J-town Roller Girls.
When the motorcyclists were done with their show, a couple of members of the team put on a demonstration for the crowd.
Manning the J-town booth were Christina Biancuzzo and Kayla Blough, both players, and SanDee Cardon, a team supporter.
Biancuzzo said they started the team in May and are hoping to start playing games in the fall at the Windber Community Building.
Vince Logue of Central City said he came to the event to look at the bikes and enjoy cold drinks.

Welcome to Kings Park Focus on Nature. The wonderful weather of late spring is hopefully encouraging everyone to get out on our local trails to enjoy the natural beauty that abounds in this season.
While I was out for a run in one of our town's wooded parks I came across this unusual flower, the photographs of which accompany this article. This is the Pink Ladies Slipper Orchid (Cypripedium acaule). Typical of plants of the Orchid family, this flowering plant has a very exotic look. It is always gratifying to come across one of these extraordinary flowers in its natural habitat. These flowers bloom from late May through early July. Their preference is for acidic soil, and they find growing conditions suitable in pine forests as well as in the oak woodlands prevalent in our region.
The Pink Ladies Slipper Orchid flower is a vivid pink. It looks somewhat like a slipper or a moccasin. Thus, this plant is also known as a Moccasin Flower. The single bloom is at the end of a long green stem that rises from two flat green leaves at ground level. The Pink Ladies Slipper Orchid has a life cycle, which is rather curious.
To begin with there is the uniquely evolved structure of the flower itself. The orchid's flower is a clever bit of nature's architecture as regards the way it's design entices pollination. Bumblebees are a key pollinator of Ladies Slippers. These bees are stout and powerful enough to force their way into the mostly closed off interior of the flower. They are lured there by a sweet smell like nectar. Unfortunately for the determined bee, however, there's no nectar to be had. Once the insect has caught on to this false advertising, it seeks to escape the flower. There are two small openings that the bee is guided to, and it's a tight squeeze to gain freedom. Pushing its way out, the bee deposits pollen gathered from previous visits to other flowers, while at the same time it picks up another load.
The seeds of orchid lack the nutrients that most plant seeds contain to give them a head start for growth. Instead, the orchids seeds require a boost from a certain fungus that exists in the soil of its habitat. The fungus breaks down the seed casing, initiating the seeds germination. Then the fungus acts as the roots for the seedling – transporting nutrients from the soil to the growing plant. Since this is an example of symbiosis, you may ask "what's in it for the fungus"? As the orchid matures, the roles are reversed. The Ladies Slipper, now with roots and leaves, is able to spare resources in the form of nutrients for the fungus, which taps into its root system.
This symbiotic relationship is a long-term arrangement, as the lifespan of the Ladies Slipper Orchid can be more than twenty years. It is partly because of this elaborate life cycle that this wildflower does not make a suitable cultivated garden plant. It is in fact protected from being collected whole or in part.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation lists the status of Cypripedium acaule as " Exploitably vulnerable native plants." The DEC's definition of this category is " . . . exploitably vulnerable native plants (are) likely to become threatened in the near future throughout all or a significant portion of their ranges within the state if causal factors continue unchecked".
Factors which would cause a decline of this species would include habitat destruction, encroachment of none native plants, illegal collection, and over browsing by burgeoning deer populations. The fact that these beautiful and interesting plants can only be viewed in the wild is one of the reasons they are so special and unique.
I hope you'll find this article an inspiration to get outdoors and see if you can find one of these treasures to enjoy yourself. See you on the trails!

SABATTUS — They greeted one another like long-lost brothers amid the quiet backdrop of Loon Pond. In the distance, the thick stand of pine trees surrounding the small pond and the clouds overhead reflected off water smooth as glass.
"You were Troop 111. I was, too," said one man as he walked up to shake hands with 76-year-old Fred Huntress of Poland. Huntress was one of the earliest Boy Scouts to spend time at Camp Gustin in Sabattus shortly after the property was donated by the Gustin family 60 years ago. His greeter was clearly from a younger generation of Scouts who — like Huntress and his generation — learned to love the great outdoors, respect nature, survive off the land and leave no trace behind.
"I got my Eagle Scout badge here in June 1949," Huntress said as he looked around the camp whose future is suddenly uncertain after Scout officials from the Pine Tree Council announced last week that the camp might have to be sold.
Like many Scouts past and present, Huntress was especially outraged over the Scout officials appearing to
draw a connection between the potential value of the real estate and
the council's need to pay off nearly $1 million in debt. Around 300 Scouts and their families gathered Sunday afternoon at Camp Gustin during a rally that kicked off an annual Scout food drive and served as a
show of support for the camp.
The Pine Tree Council represents the southern portion of the
state, has more than 12,000 Scout members and 3,800 volunteers.
"We want to save Camp Gustin so the kids can have a great time," said A.J. Beaudoin, 11, of Lewiston, a Cub Scout from Troop 007. "The first time I came here, I was like 'Wow! This is a really nice place!' And I met a lot of new friends here from a lot of other Packs."
The 100-plus-acre camp on Loon Pond in Sabattus doesn't
have a single mess hall or bunkhouse, just one covered shelter and two
outhouses. It's been estimated Camp Gustin's sale could bring in more than $350,000.
Scout Executive Tony Rogers told the Sun Journal last week that the
debt owed on Portland's Cianchette Scout Service Center was in no way linked to the potential sale of Camp Gustin, even though records show that the four-year-old center's debt represents $900,000. Rogers said the council is eyeing all four of its Boy Scout camps to measure their worth to the Scouts through a property committee looking at Gustin, Camp Hinds
in Raymond, Camp Bomazeen in Belgrade and Camp Nutter in Acton.
A final analysis is due to be released next fall. For now, no final decision has been made as to the potential sale of Camp Gustin or any other of the state's Boy Scout Camps, according to Rogers.
"One of the reasons I went to forestry school was because of my involvement with the Boy Scouts," said Huntress, who works as a forestry consultant. "I don't see how you can teach kids to protect and preserve land when the Boy Scouts want to sell it to make money. What is that teaching them?"
As the afternoon sun struggled against the gray sky, the fog that hung just above the water across the pond for most of the afternoon eased its way toward Camp Gustin — ready to overtake the primitive campground in much the same way camp supporters fear developers will eagerly swallow the pristine ground and spit out a subdivision.
"They keep urbanizing the woods of Maine. And in today's society, they're trying to find easy ways of making money instead of working at it," said Lawrence Gustin Webber, 48, of Sabattus. "Where's it going to end? Are they going to take another Scout camp somewhere else because the land builds up around it? They show no respect."
Webber indicated the newer homes along Loon Pond Road leading up to the camp. He was one of several family members of the late Charles Gustin who attended the rally in support of area Boys Scout troops looking to save his family's legacy. Most spoke openly and loudly about their fears that if the property is sold, then it will be broken up into waterfront lots and sold.
"We don't want to see it sold. We want to see it forever wild, just as dad want it to be," said Charles Gustin's son, George, 77, of Wales. "I don't know what sort of financial problems they have, but selling this camp isn't the answer to it."
Charles Gustin donated the land so that young could boys could grow to be young men while learning to camp, canoe and appreciate nature.
Former Troop 007 Scoutmaster Robert Reed, who helped organize Sunday's rally, told Scouts and their families that recent talks with the Pine Tree Council revealed three viable options for their beloved camp: do nothing and leave the camp as is, sell the camp to local troops or sell the camp outright. The last option was met by rousing boos and cries of dissent from the crowd.
"I think that they came to us to tell us what they were going to do, and they were surprised by the reaction they got," said Ed Desgrosseilliers, new chairman of the council's Abnaki District,
which includes Camp Gustin.
While Desgrosseilliers said he believes the council's debt
and sudden interest in selling camps are separate, he was left feeling suspicious during a meeting last week because the council would not answer his direct questions about the camp. He told the crowd Sunday that the council assured him that it would provide more information — including a look at the council's financial records — during an upcoming meeting.
"You've got to be upfront and honest," Desgrosseilliers said of what he told members of the council. "You're wearing a Scout uniform. You can't shade the truth. What example does that set for your adult leaders and their young Scouts?"
Local Scout leaders contend that camp upkeep costs the council only about $100 a year. Rogers declined to provide an actual figure but said plowing, maintenance and insurance costs for the camp are more than the public would think. However, during the rally, Reed pointed out longtime camp caretaker Gino Camardese, who told the crowd that he has never billed the Pine Tree Council for any of the work he does around the camp — including plowing and maintenance.
"Some people buy land for investment. Some people buy land for purpose," said Charles Gustin's granddaughter, Beth Gustin Ashcraft, 48, of Litchfield. "And when you've got that kind of meaningful attachment to a piece of land, and it might get turned into someone's investment, it's hard to let go. It's hard to fathom that could even be possible."

text: "David Hudson's Let the Students Speak reflects a masterful blending of law and public policy as it focuses on key issues of free speech in the secondary school context. It should prove as useful and timely for First Amendment lawyers as for school administrators and the broader community, and of course for students and the groups in which they engage. Building on an impressive understanding of where the law has taken us in this field, Hudson wisely warns of the regrettable impact of government censorship upon far too many outspoken students and the messages they seek to convey."--Robert M. O'Neil, Director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression"We too often forget that students are also citizens, with the full protection of the Bill of Rights. David Hudson's authoritative history chronicles the key battles to protect students' rights, detailing pivotal decisions and controversies in a succinct and compelling manner."--Ken Paulson, President and CEO, First Amendment Center "In Let the Students Speak!, David Hudson brings to life the riveting stories of Pearl Pugsley, Lillian and William Gobitis, Mary Beth and John Tinker and many other young people who challenged schools' efforts to punish their speech. Because it explains - in very accessible terms - the human and legal implications of these cases, this important and timely work is an extremely valuable read for anyone interested in the First Amendment, or in education matters generally."--Helen Norton, Associate Professor, University of Colorado School of Law "I have profitably read many of David Hudson's books, and this is among the best. The book is an erudite but engaging study of key cases that involve student speech and speech-related conduct that will prove especially fascinating to high school and college students. The book would make a wonderful supplement to classes studying the First Amendment and an excellent resource for teachers and school administrators seeking to grasp the nuances of student speech."--Dr. John R. Vile, Professor of Political Science and Dean, University Honors College at Middle Tennessee University, author of Essential Supreme Court Decisions "Through his work as a scholar with the First Amendment Center, David L. Hudson, Jr. has intimately familiarized himself not only with leading U.S. Supreme Court cases, many of whose participants he has personally interviewed, relative to student speech, but also with some of their obscure state and lower federal court precedents, all of which he skillfully weaves into his narrative. Although clearly aware of the importance of student speech, Hudson also highlights the dangers of "true threats" and "substantial disruption" that such speech can sometimes pose. There is no better book on student speech."--Dr. John R. Vile, Professor of Political Science and Dean, University Honors College at Middle Tennessee University, author of Essential Supreme Court Decisions

McALESTER —
Two vehicle accidents took place Saturday, one in Pittsburg County and one in Latimer County, and one accident was fatal.
Ila Brown, 60, of Checotah, died Saturday morning just after 10 a.m. after the 2004 Hyundai she was driving departed the roadway and landed in Lake Eufaula in about 10 feet of water.
Brown's vehicle departed State Highway 9, about a mile and a half west of Longtown in Pittsburg County, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report. Her vehicle struck a guardrail, continued southbound over riprap and ended up in Lake Eufaula, about "25 feet from the shoreline and in approximately 10 foot of water," the report states.
Brown was pronounced dead at the scene and her cause of death "is unknown at this time pending medical examiners report," the report states.
Later that day, at 8:49 p.m., Terry Hill, 49, of Hartshorne, was riding a 1996 Harley Davidson with Julie Griffin, 32, of Wilburton, as passenger. They were traveling on High Bridge Road about four miles west of Wilburton in Latimer County when the Harley ran off the right side of the road, according to an OHP report, and "overturned onto its right side striking a ditch.
Hill was taken to Latimer County Hospital where he was treated and released for a head and arm injury, the report states. Griffin was transported my medical aircraft to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa where she is listed in serious condition with multiple injuries, the report states.

Altars and Sacred Spaces
Article By: Eilfie Music
Altars can be many things and can come in many sizes. Some are for the worship of a certain deity or a pantheon, others are a place to store objects of power until needed, and some are a visual reminder of what the individual is striving for. The items placed on this space usually have some sacred meaning to the person, whether it is physical representations of the elements, statues of saints or gods, or simply the burning of incense and candles. This space is designated to a certain area due to the direction it will be facing, energy flow, or where it can fit in with the rest of everyday life, such as an out of the way corner of a room. Some people can have permanent altars set up year round, while others keep them stored away until they are needed.
Over the years I've had many altars in many sizes and set-ups. They have moved around my room and my current altar is now in a corner of the living room. The altar has also changed due to the changes in my studies. In some ways, the altar can be a physical representation of how you view your spiritual life. Like a journal, it grows and shifts from month to month and year to year. I also see altars as works of art that can be as elaborate or simple as the person. An altar does not require the priciest items or the most elaborate displays of devotion; they can be as simple as a bowl of salt, a candle, and a stick of incense.
When I first started creating my altars, I worked primarily with items I could find around the house. This would include decorative plates to hold items, an old belt buckle of a dragon, and feathers I found while walking around the woods. My very first altar was on an old steamer trunk which I would keep the items in when not in use due to space and cats knocking things over. This was also when I was first learning about the mechanics of ritual work and magick. I tried to keep to the formula that I was finding in various books such as A Grimoire of Shadows by Ed Fitch that had a visual of how an altar should look and what each item was for. I have since altered it to more what works for me and what I have learned over the years. These days, my current altar, as I said, sits in the corner of my living room, and is on a small cabinet that I bought at Michael's art shop recently. It has just enough space on top for setup and plenty of space inside to put everything away or store extra items to change the setup. This worked very well when I had to move the whole thing to repaint the room. So I recommend that even if you have space for a more permanent altar, to have storage space nearby in case you need to move it or rearrange items, since some people reset it according to the seasons and holidays.
Even though when I first started to put my altars together I used the guidelines of a book, I also used that as a jumping point. Unless you follow a specific path that requires certain items on your altar at all times, you can start experimenting and see what works best for you. The books that give examples of how an altar is set up should be seen as just that – examples. It is good to learn the framework first to know why any of the items are used, but then start deconstructing the ideas and make it truly speak to you. This is your personal altar and is a connection between you and your spiritual self.
However you choose to set up your altar, you should remember to also keep it tidy. If this space is a representation of you and your spiritual path, it says something when the space becomes dusty and unused. This has happened to my altar a couple times before. Just like with your everyday personal space, the state of your spiritual space is a physical representation of the order of your mind. So when my altar has ended up in that state of dust and neglect, it is time to clean and reset the space. When I clean my altar space, it allows me to reevaluated what I have placed on the setting and whether or not it still needs to be there. If you want to get really elaborate with this, you can take photos of your altar over the year and see what changes on it and how that corresponds to your life.
With people's busy lives in this day and age, it is at times difficult to dedicate each day to our spiritual path, but when that is not possible an altar can at least give us a reminder to know when to step away from the everyday life for a little bit and turn inwards.

With the visiting Atlanta Hawks locked into the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference and the Milwaukee Bucks assured of the NBA's worst record, Wednesday's regular-season finale might have all the excitement of an October exhibition. Atlanta isn't likely to risk an injury to any of its stars with a series against top-seed Indiana looming, but the reserves might be able to knock off the Bucks. Regardless of the outcome, Milwaukee will finish with the worst record in franchise history.
The Hawks rested three starters — Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and DeMarre Carroll — in Monday's 95-93 loss to Charlotte, and the other two starters took the final quarter off. "I think when you're in our situation, health and all of those things are a priority," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters. "It was an opportunity to get them a little bit of rest, an opportunity to get guys reps on defense and offense." The Bucks have lost 16 of their last 18, including a 110-100 loss to Toronto on Monday despite the Raptors resting leading scorer DeMar DeRozan.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)
ABOUT THE HAWKS (37-44): Atlanta is in the playoffs for the seventh straight season, the longest active streak in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks had won three straight before the short-handed loss to Charlotte, but Budenholzer is likely more concerned about his team's health than maintaining a rhythm. Center Pero Antic was not one of the Hawks who sat out against the Bobcats, but his nagging ankle injury might prompt a night off before the playoffs.
ABOUT THE BUCKS (15-66): Milwaukee had only nine healthy players against Toronto with five players injured and center Larry Sanders suspended. Ramon Sessions has carried the scoring load lately, averaging 20.3 points and six assists over his last four games. Leading scorer Brandon Knight sat out Saturday's loss at Washington with a sore right hip but returned to score 18 points against the Raptors.
1. Atlanta has won six straight meetings and nine of the last 10 against the Bucks.
2. Sessions has topped 20 points in four straight games — his longest such streak since February 2011.
3. The Hawks have held four straight opponents under 100 points, tying their longest streak of the season.
PREDICTION: Hawks 99, Bucks 93
