- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; cook the macaroni in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the hot dog slices in the butter until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, milk, and cheese food to the pot; cook and stir until the cheese food is melted completely, 10 to 12 minutes. Fold the macaroni into the cheese mixture; continue cooking until thoroughly hot, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

This review is mainly in response to a previous post. To use such words as "thoroughly uninspired" and "sadly lacking" to describe this dish, is snobbish and in bad taste. If you are going to compare macaroni and hot dogs to an extensive knowledge on Italy and fine Italian cuisine, then please just avoid this site all together. There is no need for such arrogance. I have worked as a chef in many restaurants, preparing elegant dishes daily. Guess what my lunch often consisted of........ HOT DOGS AND MACARONI!! It's delicious. This recipe is good as is. For some palates you may need a little variation but overall I approve. It hits the spot. Buon Appetito!
Sarah Jo
Mom made this for us kids, but she always used gov'ment cheese instead of Velveeta. (Think of gov'ment cheese as a mixture between Velveeta and mild cheddar cheese....less processed taste.) I get a hankering for it now and then. My kids love it. Sometimes I'll use salsa instead of tomato sauce and it sounds weird, but it's pretty good if you saute the hot dogs, too.
I was torn between three and four stars, but I am the first to write a review, and I didn't want to start this recipe off on a bad note. For starters, I followed the recipe exactly as written in order to be able to write a fair review. The consistency was like soup, which I did not find very appealing. I was leery because of all the milk, but I wanted to try it as written. The taste was o.k. to pleasant, but nothing overwhelming. The most important thing that I discovered was the choice of hot dog to add. I used Sabrett all beef because that's what I had, but the taste was too strong for this dish. A simple Oscar Mayer with very little flavor would be much better for this recipe. This is a nice dish to make if you have a large group of children to feed, etc, but I would be inclined to add about another half box of elbow noodles to this and change the consistency. It was just too soupy. Thank you, though, for posting this. I gave this four stars based on using a less flavorful hot dog. The flavors need to meld together, not fight for top billing. UPDATE: I refrigerated the leftovers and reheated them which changed the consistency dramatically. I have included 2 new photos. My rating remains the same.

If you just picked up a new BlackBerry Bold 9930, you may be upset when you see that Verizon has made Bing the default search engine once again. Well don't fret -- unlike previous OS versions you can now easily make any search you want the default in the BlackBerry browser. To do so, follow these few simple steps.
Now click the new search to set it as the default and you're done. When you enter a search term in the navigation bar it will use Google (or whatever search you specified as the default) and you're all set! Thanks to everyone that sent this in!
vishalsheth83 Aug 17, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Do you really have to go through all of that? What I did was start typing what I wanted to search for in the address bar, and then on the right hand side, there's a dropdown where you can choose Bing, Google, Wikipedia, etc. I just chose google from there and was done with it. You do that once and it's set as the default.
I think that method is easier than filling in things yourself.
gregorylkelly Aug 17, 2011 at 12:50 pm
Do you have the Verizon 9930? Because Verizon forces you to use Bing as the default search engine.
vishalsheth83 Aug 17, 2011 at 12:58 pm
No, i have a Rogers 9900, but the first time I searched for something, it went to Bing as default. As soon as that happened I went and searched for the exact same thing, but changed the search engine on the right hand side to Google and I haven't had to change anything since then.
Supa_Fly1 Aug 21, 2011 at 4:22 pm
I originally thought the same thing and it worked, until I wiped my Rogers 9900. Then all the search options where gone ... I only noticed when trying to search for something and found that this was gone.
thus if you wipe your BB900, at least on Rogers, then you'll need to re-enter them.
tdegard Aug 17, 2011 at 1:07 pm
I thought the same thing, but i just followed these steps, google is now my default search engine on my Verizon 9930. THANK GOD

No one is trying to make things difficult. You can choose any engine you want with OS7. Its an added feature which wasn't available before. Not only can you add google as 'one of your' search engines if not already there, but just about any site with a search function. I added a thesaurus search and may even add Crackberry :)
Irish_711 Aug 17, 2011 at 1:59 pm
We OS6 users are SOL. :( But why not just use universal search, there's an app out there that adds more options when using universal search... Do people really do that many searches while they're in their browser?

When I went to the Cazneaux Tree I carried a photocopy of Cazneaux's image folded in my pocket. I was going to find his tripod holes and use an uncoated lens from that era to, in effect, stand where he stood and see what he saw. Things didn't quite work out. Cazneaux had a sunny day, mine was cloudy. My lens should have been a 150mm instead of the 135mm. You would think that ground level itself would be geologically stable but it had changed. The tree must see hundreds of cameras and camera-telephones over the years and if it had a hand it would surely be laughing gently behind it.

The choice of using a brown toner (Kodak Brown Toner??) is outstanding to my eye and having the mountain range trail off to the right with the dark part of the tree on its left is the better composition to my eye. Thanks for posting this.

From snap to sack, that's how long it takes for Von Miller to "Eat Greedy"
Welp.....here's another one of those "minor" indiscretions...
With Von Millers six game suspension being announced, it is time to look forward to life without our all pro pass rusher.
According to reports, starting inside linebacker Stewart Bradley is to undergo wrist surgery. Wesley Woodyard will move over to MLB in his absence.
More questions than there are answers
One week from today, the NFL will hear Von Miller's appeal of his four game suspension.
According to SI's Peter King there's growing suspicions there could be extenuating circumstances to Miller's proposed ban. What does this mean for the Broncos pass rusher?

At the Maemo Summit in Amsterdam friday 9 oct, it was mentioned that there will be a Qt-based multi-touch enabled UI for Maemo 6 (provisionally) called Maemo 6 UI. Symbian is now designing a Qt-based multi-touch enabled UI for Symbian ^4. At the Maemo Summit it was not clear whether Orbit is Maemo 6 UI, but it appeared to be a different UI.
We had the situation that Nokia had multiple UI's on top of Symbian, and that wasn't a good situation. So I would like to get a confirmation first whether Maemo 6 UI and Orbit are going to be different. Or will we have a single multi-touch UI, Qt based, used on both Maemo and Symbian?

The 84th Indiana State Women's Championship Tournament began its lengthy run in Terre Haute on Saturday and will run each weekend — except Easter weekend — until May 8.
The Greater Terre Haute Women's Bowling Association is hosting this event for the 11th time, the last time back in 2004. Team event is at Vigo Bowl, while doubles and singles are at the Terre Haute Bowling Center.
Terre Haute has a long history as the host city, dating back to 1925.
The first three times Terre Haute hosted were small tournaments, with just 37 team entrants in 1925, followed by 1927 (35) and 1931 (71).
Next up was 1944 with 233 entrants, despite the tournament being canceled in both 1943 and 1945 due to World War II.
The numbers increased dramatically the next three times Terre Haute hosted. Team entrants in 1952 were 614, more than doubled by 1968 (1,369) and hit its peak in 1983 (1,901). That was one year after the tournament's largest turnout in Indianapolis of 2,155 teams.
Following a statewide trend, numbers dropped a bit in 1989 (1,830), a bit more in 1997 (1,543), then began a freefall in 2004 (1,004). The tournament had over 1,000 entrants from 1963 to 2005, but last year's event in Muncie had just 607 entrants, the lowest mark since 1954.
This drop in numbers coincides with the drop in overall statewide membership. The most members in Indiana was in 1980 (137,858), fell below 100,000 in 1990, and was down to 25,994 in the most recent reported year of 2009.
Enough history, now get to bowling ladies! Welcome to Terre Haute.
For information on the tournament, log on to www.indiana
• Vigo Bowl hosted a Team Shootout on March 19-20. Winning team was Ed Dominick, Josh Snowden, Guy Johnson, Trey Minett, taking home $1,000 in prize money.
Second place ($600) went to Tony Jackewicz, Ernie Scott, Rick Fugate, Brandy Leturgez. Third place ($380) went to Fred Modesitt, Larry Davision, C.J. Cooprider, Harold Costello.
• Driving past the Terre Haute Bowling Center on Friday brought to mind long-time bowling friend Jay Scamihorn, whose name I hadn't noticed while forming up the weekly bowling results in recent weeks.
My next stop was Lowe's — purchasing plastic shelf holders because two of them snapped off, creating a tumbling of canned goods which was a good audio imitation of bowling a strike on our kitchen floor — so who did I run into? You guessed it.
Scamihorn, one of the better senior bowlers in the area, reported he's been sidelined since January due to surgery on his "other" shoulder. He explained this latest surgery was more involved, but still hopes to return to the lanes.
Get well soon.
• The 3rd PBA Central/Midwest Region Tournament returns to Terre Haute Bowling Center on June 10-12. For more information, go to www.pba.com and click on regional tournaments.
• A reminder, the 42nd Terre Haute Bowling Hall of Fame and Recognition Dinner will be at the Idle Creek Banquet Center from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on April 25.
Tickets can be purchased from Brazilian Lanes, Imperial Lanes, Paradise Bowl, Terre Haute Bowling Center, Vigo Bowl or from any member of the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors.

— Every September, I huddle with The Herald Bulletin's editors who help guide our news reporting to talk about the coming year and our coverage priorities.
While we try to wipe the slate clean and look forward with a fresh perspective, it's inevitable that we always manage to come back to a set of priorities that is similar to the priorities of the previous year, and the year before that, and the year before that ...
The basic question to be answered is, what news topics are most important to the people of Madison County? Then, within those high-priority topics, what are the story lines to be followed and developed?
Here is our proposed priority list for 2014:
Economic development
It's hard to argue that, more than anything else, the community — hit hard by a 19 percent poverty rate — needs businesses and industries to bring more jobs and expand the tax base to finance infrastructure improvements.
News coverage of proposals for Mounds Lake Reservoir and annexation are in the economic development coverage.
The headliner of this coverage category is the new Ivy Tech Community College campus planned for property along Interstate 69. The $24 million project would be the largest, most expensive new facility in Anderson since the Nestle plant was built in 2006.
But the education category covers other important ground, too. It includes the quality of local K-12 education. And let's not forget Anderson University, which adds educational and cultural dimensions while employing hundreds and bringing thousands to the community.
Every fourth year, like 2013, is without an election, which magnifies the importance of the county, state and national elections that follow in 2014. The quality, commitment and philosophies of those elected help determine the future course of our county, state and country.
Health care
The battle over the Affordable Care Act rages, while Madison County residents rank near the bottom of the state in most measurements of health. Alcohol and drug abuse, tobacco use, obesity and a host of other ills depress our community.
Meanwhile, the landscape of the health care industry in Madison County takes new shape as needs and competitive pressures influence change.
Public safety
Police and fire protection are front and center now as local government units draft budgets for the coming year. And these essential services always seem to be on the minds of our readers.
What would you add to or replace on this list? As we finalize plans for our 2014 news coverage priorities, we want to hear from you, our readers, about what is most important.
Editor Scott Underwood's column appears Mondays. Like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter @THBeditor. Contact him at email@example.com or 640-4845.

Some classes came to check out books! One thing they all had in common: they loved visiting with Winston! Here are some pictures of Winston with the kids.

This week's "My turn" column is by Douglas C. Gulotty, president and chief executive officer of Wilber National Bank.
The recession of "aught eight" will be remembered for generations as one of the most difficult in the modern catalogue of human suffering.
Past economic contractions carried similar suffering, but did so in an age where information was limited to three well-behaved networks; newspapers; and radio with a limited range. Today, we feel everyone's angst from every perspective.
I am a community banker. I know firsthand the tone of desperation that accompanies a family in financial crisis.
I was taught by older and wiser bankers to be empathetic; you had to understand the customers' position to offer the best solution for them and the bank.
I see good people with great credit turning in their cars because they have lost a source of household income and don't want to keep what they can't pay for. They know they will have a hard time ever getting their credit back, but they have decided this was a sacrifice they had to make.
As bankers, we do all we can to help them keep their car by sorting out a budget, reducing payments. We make small decisions together that help everyone.
Years ago on a repossession call, I removed a baby seat from a very well-kept station wagon and handed it to a wife with anger in her eyes. I blanched and looked at the husband, who had tears in his eyes. The children were frightened.
That was an effective means of teaching a new banker why you never make loans people can't afford to repay.
The Wall Street mortgage brokers, leaders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the government regulators would benefit from such training. We would have averted this crisis for a few more years, but not much longer.
We can't resist buying more than we can afford. History will look upon this time as one foretold more than 200 years ago when the founders of our country discussed the greatest perils to a new form of government.
George Washington identified the first as political parties. Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury, warned of the second _ the government using its treasury not for the good of all, but for the good of the well-connected.
The government leaders enjoy the power to allocate our wealth in purchases great and small. No society can afford to make purchases to benefit small groups through the inefficient decision process of government.
Too many competing interests keep us from a good decision, so we should limit government spending to defending liberty, civil and human rights; offering education; and infrastructure for ideas, energy, products and services.
The federal, state and local governments must rediscover the basic services they are to provide and allow the remaining decisions be made by the private sector. This means we the people have to be willing to accept fewer services from the government and directly pay for our economic decisions.
Urban congestion was a topic in FDR's inaugural speech in 1933. The government built roads to distribute the population in hopes of better use of the land. We need mass transit and light rail to serve our cities. We need roads to serve the rural areas.
The federal government is using the crisis to maximize its control over our choices. Congress passed the great stimulus bill. We need to educate ourselves about it and refuse the funding that benefits a few well-connected companies or people at our shared expense.
We must look our representatives in the eye and say we can live without the projects we don't need. Government should rebuild our decaying infrastructure for communication, transportation and energy.
It benefits us all. It should not build museums, water slides or national parks until we have a stable electrical grid, good highways and adequate mass transit.
George Washington and Alexander Hamilton saw this coming. The great productivity of our people, not government, kept this crisis in abeyance for 200 years.
We toil and sweat not to provide the revenues the political parties need to keep power. We work for ourselves, to keep and spend our earnings.
We will pay to educate, protect and provide infrastructure, then stop. All elected and appointed officials need to hear this message until they understand.
People need to look to their own resources to meet their needs, and reduce dependence on government to free resources for the private economy.
We need to be responsible for ourselves, and hold government responsible. We have to do it now if we are to end this recession and build a sustainable economy.

You learned really quickly in our home never to utter those two words to my mother.
Well, I guess there are several pairs of words you should never speak aloud to my mom, Jennie Watson. But the ones I'm referring to are "I'm bored." She swiftly presented you with a toilet brush and a vacuum cleaner and put you to work doing her least favorite two jobs around the house. And there was no arguing back with her either.
The damage had already been done. The cure for boredom was making the house spotless.
She reacted the way many moms do, "You have a bedroom full of toys. You have a Nintendo (this was pre-Wii and Xbox). You have all kinds of movies you can watch (this was pre-Netflix). You have acres and acres of land to play outside in. Why are you bored?"
For me, boredom wasn't necessarily because I had nothing to do. I was quite content riding bikes in the morning and reading all afternoon. For me, the boredom hit when it was too hot to be outside comfortably and I was sick to death of seeing the inside of my bedroom. Also, it meant my sister wouldn't stop pestering me so I could read whether Margaret's prayers were answered or if Wilbur was saved from slaughter.
A change of scenery from time to time is all I needed sometimes to save me from a summer of ennui.
I guess I never grew out of that.
I still want activities planned at least once a week to break the monotony. Of course, these days I'm planning activities suitable for my 19-month-old, Sophie.
On the Wednesdays I'm off work, we go to story time at the Dalton-Whitfield County Library, which begins at 11 a.m. My daughter was the one mooing at and pointing to the Chick-fil-A cow a few weeks ago while Ms. Karol tried to read a story about gardening. I'm glad Ms. Karol understands that 19-month-olds benefit from story time, even if they aren't able to sit still for that long yet.
But I wanted something to do besides sit around the house on Fridays. One week I asked Mom, who is off on Fridays during the summer, to come help me finger paint with Sophie. I needed an extra set of hands that didn't resemble a Smurf's.
We stripped Sophie down, put a disposable diaper (I use cloth most of the time) and some flip-flops on her and took her out in the yard with a small table, paper and paint. She loved it.
She painted two pieces of paper, her Nana's hands and her own stomach and chest, as well as a few magnolia leaves.
Then we let her splash around in the kiddie pool until she was ready for a nap.
Fun Friday with Nana was born. It's a tradition we didn't mean to start, but we're so glad we did.
We've been to the pool and the Tennessee Aquarium. Of course, Sophie was more interested in climbing on the benches around each corner at the aquarium after she had seen the first tank with fish. But we still had fun.
We've also got plans to play on the beach at Fort Mountain State Park, visit the Chattanooga Zoo, the Creative Discovery Museum and do more arts and crafts together. And there are so many more things I run across that I want to do when she's a little older.
If your children are screaming they're bored this summer, you could hand them the broom and make them clean your house. And then try planning an activity to get them out of the house.
They'll appreciate the memories you're making together.
I know I do.

Update, Nov. 13, 8:30 a.m.: Mayor Kelly Kautz clarified her statements regarding race and nominations. Her comments are at the end of the story.
Update, Nov. 13, 2:55 p.m.: Councilman Dave Emanuel issued a statement regarding Mayor Kautz's statements during the Nov. 12 council meeting. His comments are at the end of the story.
The Mayor and Council had quite a long day yesterday.
It began with a rare display of unity as they stood in solidarity with Parkwood Farms, a therapeutic riding center in Snellville facing eviction.
It ended with heated discussions on the letter of the law and allegations of racism.
The Nov. 12 public council meeting began with a prayer by Temple Beth David's new Rabbi, Robert Kirzner. The mayor then issued multiple proclamations, recognizing South Gwinnett's JROTC, Snellville Middle's I Am B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L., the American Legion, American Legion Auxillary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Global Entrepreneurship Week, in which two South Gwinnett students in the DECA program were honored.
- Mr. Tom Ewing gave an in depth presentation on the history of the medical profession in Snellville.
- A discussion on the proposed RaceTrac on the corner of Oak Road and Highway 124 followed. (Read more about that here.)
- Consideration and action to authorize a survey, not to exceed $1,500, and appraisal of property at 2686 Springdale Road was approved unanimously.
- Consideration and action on resolution for the Snellville Public Arts Commission to change residency requirements. Councilman Dave Emanuel made a motion to postpone the decision, seconded by councilman Bobby Howard.
- And that's when the first bit of contention began.
The mayor attempted to go straight to the vote when it came to approving her nominations for various board positions. Normally, in order to vote on an issue, it must be moved, seconded, discussed and approved by the council. When she skipped that part, Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts stopped her.
"I'd like to make a motion..." Witts began.
She replied that the motion was not necessary, and proceeded to move on to the vote. Witts disagreed, and requested input from the city attorney.
Citing inconsistencies regarding the issue, Powell said there was no real procedure in Robert's Rules of Order. However, in Volume 11 of another handbook, it says that in order for the council to take any kind of action, they must make a motion.
Mayor Kautz looked Powell squarely in the eye and asked, "Didn't I ask for this in writing two weeks ago? And this is the first time you're presenting it?"
"It's the first time I've been asked," he responded. "I don't mean to embarrass the chair. Volume 11 is a rather large volume..."
In the end, they made motions, seconded them, and proceeded to approve or deny nominations.
The following nominations were made:
- Don Goldsmith, Downtown Development Authority, Post 1: approved unanimously.
- Jack Poles, Downtown Development Authority, Post 3: motion failed for lack of a second. (Poles did not submit an application in time.)
- Fred Dawkins, Evermore Community Improvement District: motion failed for lack of a second.
- John Zeigler, Parks and Recreation Department, Post 2: approved unanimously.
- Garry Lapides, Parks and Recreation Department, Post 3: approved unanimously.
- Simon Cole, Parks and Recreation Department, Post 4: approved unanimously.
- Jerry Oberholtzer, Planning Commission, Post 4: three opposed, three in favor. Emanuel, Krause, and Howard were against. Motion failed.
- Krish Dhokia, Alice Snipes and Gretchen Schulz were all approved unanimously to be on the Snellville Tourism and Trade Board.
And then, the council reports...
Councilman Bobby Howard began the council reports by reflecting on his first year as a councilmember.
"I have fought many battles to preserve the integrity of this office," he said. "I'll continue to fight for them."
Regardless, said Howard, of how many times people have silenced him by bellowing "out of order," a reference to Mayor Kautz' use of the phrase.
He proceeded to thank his colleagues and a number of local businesses that are moving Snellville forward.
"When I speak of home, I speak of Snellville," he added.
Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts' comments went a different route, following a number of incidences that involved the mayor attempting to make the council look bad, according to Witts, whether it was not informing them of an event they were all invited to or accusing them of even worse.
During the course of the nominations, the mayor referred to two nominees as "African-American," as she described who they were, what they've done and why they should serve on specific boards.
She did not reference any of the other nominees' ethnicities.
"We had 11 people who were brought to us this evening for positions on the boards," said Witts. "Only two were identified as African American."
He questioned why the council did not hear the ethnicities of the other nominees. He asked the Mayor what she was implying.
One of the nominees she referred to, Jack Poles, did not submit an application, something that prevented the council from accepting his nomination.
"I don't know what nationality or race he is," said Witts, "but I do know we did not have an application on file with the city in order for me to look at that to make the vote. I don't hire people without an application, and won't do it for the city. The mayor was told that two weeks ago. I'm sure he's acceptable, but would like an application."
Concerning the second nominee, Fred Dawkins, Witts again stated it had nothing to do with the man's race. Snellville has had no representation on the Evermore Community Improvement District for over a year, and Dawkins does not live in the Snellville city limits, nor does he work along the Highway 78 corridor, according to Witts. He is a lawyer in Atlanta.
"Why bring an Atlanta attorney, who lives almost in DeKalb county, to represent the city business owners on the CID?" Witts asked. "I know two people on that corridor, one who is a minority, who would be glad to serve on that board. I suggest the mayor take the time to talk to people in the CID who would represent them and us."
He wasn't finished yet.
"While I'm at it, one more thing," he said. "I'd like to apologize to any organization that has requested that the mayor and council appear at something, and the entire council did not show up."
According to Witts, numerous invitations have been sent to City Hall requesting that the mayor and council be in attendance, but only Kautz and Sabbagh have shown up.
"To organizations that called to find out why I wasn't there, I wasn't notified," he said. "I will never just not show up."
Mayor Kautz responded to Witts during the Mayor's Report.
"Tonight, I had a sense of pride looking out into the audience," she began. "The high school, ROTC, the Rabbi from Temple Beth David... I thought, look at what a diverse group of people we have brought together. We live in a diverse society."
She then confirmed that she did in fact make an issue of the two nominees' race, because "we don't have diverse representation." She stated that that diversity is not reflected in the council, nor on the majority of the boards.
"I have put up six nominations [over time] that are African American, and the council has voted down all six," she said. "There is no reason each of these people should be denied."
Despite all this, the day came full circle when Caroline Jaffee, owner of a therapeutic riding center on Lenora Church Road, asked the council to describe what they did that morning at Parkwood Farms.
"They're facing an eviction," said Mayor Kautz, "and we were out there showing moral support."
"I noticed that the entire mayor and council had come out to support these folks," said Jaffee. "I myself have an equine wellness center … I thank each of you individually as human beings; that was an amazing choice on your part, regardless of what type of support you offered. I appreciate you doing it."
For one morning, they set aside their differences and showed a beautiful display of support, compassion and community. When it comes down to it, despite the bickering or accusations, the council and mayor unite to do what's best for the residents of Snellville.
Update Nov. 13, 8:47 a.m.: The Mayor clarified her statements regarding the reason for the lack of diversity on the boards. According to Kautz, only one minority and six women, out of around 30, serve on Snellville boards, and she believes "we need diversity."
"I don't put people up because of their ethnicity or sex or profession," she said, "but because they're qualified candidates."
However, she believes that sometimes the council does not approve her nominees simply because of the feud she and the council have going. They come up with "petty reasons," according to Kautz, not to approve the nominations simply because she put them forward. Because of that, they are then blindsided by the fact that they don't have diversity on the board.
"I don't know if they vote against people because they are a minority," she said. "But the feud has prevented them from voting for diversity."
Update Nov. 13, 2:55 p.m.: Councilman Dave Emanuel sent this letter to Snellville Patch regarding Mayor Kautz's comments during the Nov. 12 council meeting.
I find Kautz's allegations of racism as insulting as they are false, and equally unfortunate, they are all too typical of her mode of operation. During the meeting, she stated that we had NO minority members on the city's boards or commissions. Today, she states we have one. So she either lied last night, or is totally out of touch with the members of the commissions that serve our city. She has now brought women into the conversation, and again, she has either lied, or has remained out of touch with the people who serve our city. There are nine women on city boards/commissions, not six as Kautz has incorrectly stated.
Kautz claims she nominates based on qualifications, not ethnicity, sex or profession. Another demonstrably false statement. It is a matter of record that she has bypassed obviously qualified people and specifically nominated people based on their ethnicity. Her STAT board appointments of last year clearly indicate that. Instead of renominating people who were already on the board, and had proven their qualifications through a record of dedication and service, she nominated people who had absolutely no previous civic involvement with the city. More evidence that Kautz nominates based on ethnicity is the fact that one of last night's nominee's had not submitted an application. Since he had not applied for the position, it would appear that he was a recruit, not an applicant.
Once again, the mayor's unilateral actions have brought embarrassment and controversy to our city. It is my belief that the mayor owes all of our citizens an apology for attempting to use a person's ethnicity as a platform for political posturing.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — "Emergencies don't follow a calendar."
That adage from Traverse City Fire Chief Jim Tuller proved true on Labor Day when area fire crews had to extinguish a blaze at Century Sun Metal Treating.
The incident reinforced a well-known fact for emergency personnel and workers in many other businesses: even on Labor Day there's no such thing as a guaranteed day off.
"We're here to help people no matter what day it is," Tuller said.
Weather doesn't follow a calendar either -- at least not in Northwest lower Michigan.
Cool temperatures and cloudy skies plagued the unofficial last day of summer in Traverse City, but many residents like Mike Tonder and his sister Sara Tonder didn't let that ruin their Labor Day.
"It's actually kind of nice for it to be a little bit cooler," Mike Tonder said.
Mike and Sara Tonder spent Monday afternoon walking their dog Maggie by Grand Traverse Bay. After the walk they planned to head home for an evening cook out.
The two said they had a lot of yard work to do, including staining their deck. It certainly wasn't getting done on Labor Day, but the Tonders said they'd get to it before truly cold weather sets in.
"At least before it snows," Sara Tonder said.
No sun, no problem
The Tonders joined countless other residents and tourists in downtown Traverse City to make the best of the Labor Day holiday. Throngs of people paraded up and down Front Street Monday afternoon, including Matt and Sarah Lawton, of Holly.
Matt and Sarah Lawton enjoyed a work-free day, but they were also in Traverse City for more than just a long weekend. The couple married on Friday and will be in the area all week celebrating their honeymoon.
The newlyweds were disappointed their visit preceded the explosion of autumn colors in the trees that's still a few weeks out, but they hoped their honeymoon came late enough in the summer to see the Grand Traverse region in a way it hasn't been seen in months.
"Hopefully without all the tourists," Sarah Lawton said.
Many Front Street business staffers were on duty for one of the last big shopping days of the summer before all those tourists head out of town for the winter.
One business, Critters Clothing and Souvenirs, attracted shoppers with a store-wide buy one, get one half-price sale.
Store employee Marcela Anderson said the deal appeared to be working. Critters had more customers than anyone at the business expected.
Still Anderson said she didn't mind working Labor Day. She said she could use the extra money, and there was an additional perk to the end-of-summer shift.
"We close today at 6 (pm) for the first day this summer," Anderson said. "Usually we're open until 10 (pm)."
Labor Day toilers
Firefighter Keith Fritz also found himself at work on Labor Day.
Fritz was leaving Menards when he got called to the Century Sun fire along with roughly a dozen other Traverse City firefighters who were not scheduled to work.
"I made a phone call to my wife and told her 'you're not going to hear from me for a while,'" Fritz said.
Crews from Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department and Peninsula Township Fire Department also responded.
The fire started at Century Sun's Aero Park Court commercial location around midday while several employees were working at the industrial business that heat treats steel 24-hours a day. The fire appeared to originate from a tempering oven, though an exact cause is still under investigation, Tuller said.
No one was hurt by the fire, which was contained to one room and caused minimal structure damage. Century Sun employees were able to continue work in other parts of the commercial site.
But the fire was somewhat unusual because of to the presence of hazardous materials used during the heat treating process, prompting Environmental Protection Agency officials to arrive on scene and monitor for possible chemical discharges.
Jim Black, vice president and general manager of Century Sun, was glad not all emergency personnel got to take Labor Day off.
"I'm glad they're here," said Black, who also credited his employees with responded well to the emergency. "You take that for granted until you need them."
For Fritz and his colleagues, though, there's nothing unusual about working holidays. Emergencies don't follow a calendar, after all.
"Everybody that does this job knows that this is part of it," Traverse City Fire Capt. Mike Onthank said.

One day after a former Long Valley resident accused of striking and killing a Paramus High School grad denied responsibility for her death, a Morris County judge increased the man's bond for an unrelated charge stemming from an alleged ax-wielding incident at a Rockaway fast-food restaurant.
Phil Cise told CBS News no one was to blame for the death of Gabrielle Reuveni, the near her family's Poconos home in Pennsylvania.
As , Cise offered his version of the incident as he was led into Bedminster Municipal Court in Somerset County to appear on unrelated charges.
When asked if he had anything to say to the Reuveni family, Cise said, "Yes, I'm very sorry that she lost her sneaker in the driving lane that I was following in, she was spooked by the car behind me and she jumped out of the way back into the passenger's side."
Cise, 47, of Dover, is also accused of wielding an ax at a fast-food restaurant and a number of other offenses over the past several weeks.
According to NJ.com, Superior Court Judge Stuart Minkowitz increased Cise's bond to $75,000 on Wednesday for charges stemming from a July 2 incident at McDonald's in Rockaway Borough where Cise allegedly swung an ax at an employee at the drive-thru window.
"Based upon our review of this case and other legal matters involving this defendant a decision was made to seek an increase of the defendants ROR bail that was previously set by the Municipal Court," Morris County Prosecutor Robert A. Bianchi said in a prepared statement.
Cise's run-ins with the law began on June 30 when he allegedly in Bedminster.
On July 2, Cise allegedly begged for free food at the Rockaway McDonald's and allegedly became irate with employees and a customer. He allegedly swung his ax at the drive-thru employee. Cise was later charged with possession of a weapon, but was processed and released.
On July 7, Cise was arrested for allegedly stealing a truck from a Jefferson Township driveway. Authorities said the vehicle was recovered and returned to the owner. Cise was released on bail.
On July 14, a witness saw Cise driving erratically over the double-yellow lines on the road and hit Reuveni from behind, authorities said. A sobriety test was conducted, but Cise was released pending the results, authorities said. Authorities are still waiting the results of the toxicology tests.
The following night, Cise plowed into a utility pole with a different vehicle in Lake Hiawatha, police said. Cise was uninjured but officers discovered the Bedminster arrest warrant. Cise was arrested and turned over to Bedminster Township Police.
Cise is being held at Somerset County Jail.

The Writing Center
Jones Hall 105 C
The purpose of the Fort Lewis College Writing Center is to give you a place where you can come for help with any writing assignment or project for any class. From generating ideas, to establishing an organizational structure, to polishing a final draft, you can improve your work by talking it over one-on-one with a writing tutor.
Our goal is to build better writers at any level. Our hope in building better writers, then, is for students to leave the Writing Center with new skills. These are the skills that will lead to more independence as you become more confident with your writing and analytical thinking. Due to the subjective nature of writing, feedback from others is invaluable at any stage. So, come on in and visit us. Most students find that once they walk in the door, they come back again.
We are located in Jones 105 C. Half-hour appointments are available by signing up online. We will also take drop-in appointments as long as the tutor on duty is free.
Our service is absolutely free, so simply bring your assignment guidelines that were provided by your instructor. The text(s) you are using can also be helpful--the books, readings, or other materials you're working with. If possible, come with specific questions about your work. But if you aren't even sure where those questions start, that's okay.
Arrangements can be made for the Writing Center Director or peer tutors to visit your classrooms to speak about our service or offer writing support. In the past talks have ranged from the writing process in general to persuasive writing and creating a timeline for research papers. Staff have also assisted during peer review and led workshops using a student volunteer's paper on the overhead.

The all-terrain board that always plays nice.
When it comes down to it, snowboarding should be about having fun whether you're carving groomer runs, sessioning a backyard box, or slashing powder on a distant peak. The Gnu Women's B-Nice BTX Snowboard offers an easy-to-ride shape and profile that's a blast to ride for everybody from first-timers to seasoned shredders.

Magne-Traction technology features multiple contact points along the running edges to help you navigate icy parks and slippery slopes without sliding out. It also has a soft flex that makes it easy for beginners to initiate turns and provides a playful feel for jibbing, and beveled edges reduce hang-ups when you want to start sliding your favorite park feature sideways. The extruded base retains wax well and is easy to repair when you ding it up.

This board is awesome. It's forgiving. I rode it on a powder day at Vail and I never caught an edge doing the stupidest tricks. It did great in trees, great on jumps, it's light and poppy. I like that it's twin tips- it's made tricks way easier. It's light and fast. Made it easy to stay ahead of the guys I was riding with.

I rode this board all summer up at Mt.Hood in Oregon on the glacier. It is the tits man, so poppy and fun! Im still on it this winter and truly believe its going to be hard to switch to my pow board when it snows. I love the hybrid build to this board, it's neither too noodley nor too stiff. I'm 5'4'' about 126 and currently ride the 145cm.

After five years of riding a flow board, I decided to search for another brand. The Gnu Be Nice is unbelievable! A total all mnt board, I can go anywhere with it. Grips really well for turning but has the flexibility for popping and playful activities
