Once you become sensitive to early choral music, there follows the sensation that there may be—perhaps—just too damn much beautiful music. The composers were showing off for God. The modern performers are showing off for each other and a very compact, competitive, often academic niche marketplace. It can be overwhelming. How cool is it that one of the first people confident enough to draw a mustache on a masterpiece is himself an undisputed master? During most of the 1990s, tenor John Potter helped elevate the Hilliard Ensemble to something like superstardom, or whatever antique church music's upper-echelon is called.
Here, Potter sings mostly overlooked secular gems by the 15th-century composer Guillaume Dufay, a man most often remembered for his masses. Potter's vocals provide bullets for composer and digital manipulator Ambrose Field. Field's echoes and delays, with sampled, nondescript signs of life from streets and interiors and choir music have the uncanny effect of modernizing Dufay's motets and formes fixes. Either by electronic effect or the singer's restraint, Potter's breathtaking voice is kept at a slight remove and is somehow easier to take in. If you can imagine the planet as an instrument, this is the music it might make.

The Suffolk County Legislature gave a Riverhead burn victim a special kind of birthday present on Tuesday when it passed "Michael's Law," which bans the sale of gel candles in Suffolk County.
The proposal was inspired by Michael Hubbard, a Riverhead boy who was . Tuesday was his 15th birthday.
Hubbard was refueling a gel candle on May 28 when the decoration exploded, burning 40 percent of his body including his face, chest and arms. Hubbard remains in a coma from the accident.
The law bans the sale of semi-solid, ethanol-based gel, often used as fuel in gel candles. The ban passed by a 18-0 vote, with no debate or opposition to the bill.
Bill Faulk, an aide to County Legis. Ed Romaine, R-Center Moriches, said it was important to get the dangerous product off the shelves quickly.
"We wanted to protect other families in Suffolk County so they wouldn't have to face the tragedy that Michael's family has dealt with," Faulk said.
Romaine and others acted within days of the incident to create the law, Faulk said, and have spent the past few months tweaking the bill.
Hubbard's family were in attendance at the time and spoke to the Legislature. Fran Reyer-Johnson, Michael's aunt, thanked Romaine and all of the legislators for passing the bill on a website devoted to Michael's recovery.
"Maybe the entire state will ban these candles, and then maybe the nation," she said. "Happy Birthday Michael - We love you."

Friday is the last day that people can sign up for Christmas assistance from the Salvation Army.
Lt. Jeanette Jensen said the number of applications received is drastically lower than last year. She fears this may be due to a miscommunication she has noticed this year. Jensen said that some people may think that the Salvation Army is still connected with the Holiday Network. Participants may think that if they are signed up with the schools, they are signed up with the Salvation Army.
This is not the case.
"And I feel badly with that," Jensen said.
Residents can turn in applications to the Salvation Army for holiday baskets and Toys for Tots until 3 p.m. Friday. Jensen said they will prepare for as many people who apply. After the deadline, people can sign up on a waiting list. However, Jensen said she will not guarantee that they all will be served.
Most people who are granted government food stamps are available for Christmas assistance, Jensen said. People wanting to apply need to bring valid identification, proof of income and government wages and a piece of mail mailed to them in the past 30 days as proof of insurance. Applicants also need to bring proof of everyone who lives in their house, such as birth certificates or social security cards.
For additional information, visit the Salvation Army at 219 First Ave. or call 242-4502. Distribution days will be Dec. 19 and 20.

Create Timely & Competitive Responses to Your Customers' Requests
The Proposal Response process involves responding to a customer's request for proposal, pricing, or information by collaboratively creating a timely and competitive formal response. The Proposal Response process is a collaborative effort between sales, engineering, manufacturing and the supply chain. The pressure to respond quickly either leads to a breakdown in collaboration, resulting in poor response quality and accuracy, or to expensive manual coordination and untimely consumption of engineering resources.
Global competition, increased product complexity, and the pressure to minimize response time is causing leading manufacturers to focus on proposal management as a source of competitive advantage. They are seeking to streamline collaboration, reuse boilerplate marketing and legal content, and reuse existing estimates and designs from past proposal responses with proposal software.
PTC's Product Development System (PDS) provides Web-based collaboration spaces that securely distribute proposal information, collect response artifacts, and facilitate collaboration among internal and external team members. Document management capabilities of this proposal writing software include iteration history, library services, visualization, document templates, and change notification. An integral workflow engine routes proposal deliverables through custom approval and review processes. Library management and integrated search tools provide for archiving all proposal background information, reference documents, product information, and supply chain feedback generated during proposal response projects. And, content creation tools enable response content to be created as reusable components so proposals can be dynamically assembled with rich product data into professionally formatted documents.

Citing chronically poor student performance ratings, West Virginia's Board of Education again voted to fire Jorea Marple as state schools superintendent Thursday after fielding harsh criticism over her dismissal.
Two former board members and at least seven active or retired teachers were among the 19 speakers who praised Marple, denounced her firing or called for her reinstatement during the meeting's 90-minute public comment period.
"While it's your right to hire and fire at will, we are shocked at Dr. Marple's abrupt termination, and the manner in which it was conducted," said Jenny Santilli, a Harrison County foreign language teacher who spoke on behalf of the state's association of those educators as its president.
Lloyd Jackson joined the five fellow board members who had voted Nov. 15 to oust Marple. President Wade Linger called for Thursday's vote after a lengthy closed-door session that followed the public comments. The board later adopted as its position a statement read by Linger that, among other factors, referred to how state students score below the national average on 21 of the 24 indicators of student performance as reported by the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
The board then again met privately to discuss hiring a new superintendent. Linger has endorsed Randolph County schools chief James Phares for the job.
As they had on Nov. 15, board members Jenny Phillips and Priscilla Haden opposed Marple's firing. After Thursday's vote, Haden noted how the public speakers had called Marple a visionary and an innovative problem-solver.
"Dr. Marple is and was an excellent superintendent," Haden said.
Both she and Phillips have said they'll resign at the end of the year over firing and how it was handled.
The board's 5-2 dismissal of Marple came about 19 months after it unanimously selected her following a lengthy search process. As the topic did not appear on that meeting's agenda, the board scheduled Thursday's do-over amid concerns it had violated the state open meetings law. Alleging such a violation, a subsequent legal challenge by a pair of school parents asks the Supreme Court to void Marple's firing.
Robert Baker, a Beckley lawyer, warned the five anti-Marple board members they could face criminal misdemeanor charges by willfully flouting the open meetings law. He cited the conviction of his county's school board members 30 years ago for such a violation. Baker also said that the convictions were later overturned on a technicality.
"When you don't put something on the agenda and then deal with, you essentially shut the door on all the people who wanted to come and talk about that issue," said Baker.
Baker later prompted applause from the standing-room-only audience when he added that "You can't reconsider an illegal act and thereby make it legal."
The speakers also sought detailed reasons for Marple's firing, with several alleging political backroom dealings. As Linger did Thursday, board members had earlier cited the need for a change. One, Gayle Manchin, has also said her vote reflected her desire to embrace the recent audit of West Virginia's public schools system and concerns over a deep-seated culture she finds at the state Department of Education.
Commissioned by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, the audit described a system with plenty of bureaucrats and ample funding but short on accountability and results. Its scores of recommendations seek to refocus staff, dollars and other resources to improve chronically lagging student performance. The proposals call on the state to shift control and money to the 55 county school systems and reduce seniority's weight in teacher hiring and promotion, among other actions.
The board endorsed all but a handful of the recommendations at a meeting last week, and presented its response to the audit to a House-Senate education subcommittee on Tuesday. That response lists more than 70 actions carried out under Marple drawn from or otherwise inspired by the audit's recommendations, something noted by several speakers Thursday.

HOUSTON – A cool front will mix with tropical moisture to bring a lot of rain to southeast Texas on Friday and Saturday.
There's an 80-percent chance for rain Friday and an 80-percent chance Saturday.
"We are looking at widespread three- to four-inch rain totals through Saturday," said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Brooks Garner. "As far as seriousness goes, this is the closest thing we've come to a tropical system this year as far as rainfall goes, so you'll need to be careful on the roadways."
Some localized street flooding is possible late Friday into early Saturday.
Our daytime highs through the weekend will only reach the mid- to upper-80s.
By Sunday the skies should be a lot clearer, leaving us with daytime highs in the low-90s and overnight lows in the low-70s early next week.
Looking to the southwestern part of the Gulf of Mexico, we are still watching a disturbance that will likely bring more rain to Mexico and portions of Texas, although the National Hurricane Center has reduced the chance that it will develop into a depression.

Usually I am not one to complain but the more I watch the more upset I get. The episode that has really pushed me over is #41. The woman was horrible and rude! I would give anything to be able to buy a new house or have someone remodel mine and some of these people are just disgusting. I understand that this is a big deal and it is a lot of money but lets live in the real world. Anyway sorry to vent it just shocks me how rude and hateful people can be. Love this show and love House Hunters but the women are so mean I cannot watch sonedays.
There are at least a dozen threads scattered around the boards here complaining about LIOLI. If the show upsets you don't watch it. Whining here won't change HGTV's programming, because frankly they don't monitor the boards and apparently they are reaching their desired demographic with LIOLI and endless reruns of House Hunters and House Hunters International.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Those of you who think that who drives kids to school or who fixes them their lunch doesn't affect how well they learn the three Rs are wrong, according to a union rep:
From busing children to school to making their lunchtime meals, private companies are increasingly performing work traditionally done by school district employees, a National Education Association official said in Cheyenne on Wednesday.
If not reversed, that trend has the potential to seriously damage the country's public education system, said NEA Secretary-Treasurer Lily Eskelsen.
"We think there are certain things that are public services that shouldn't be at the mercy of CEO stock options," Eskelsen said.
If private provision of non-core duties makes it harder for kids to learn their ABCs, maybe we should re-examine schools' practice of using private sector paper and pencils. Perhaps it would be best to form a "pencil providers" division within the NEA, after all, we shouldn't let those fat cat pencil CEOs put their profits before our children.

Did you know that a burglary takes place every 14.4 seconds in the U.S.? Or that 74.5% of all burglaries occur in residential homes? Based on national crime rates, your chances of experiencing a break-in this year are approximately 1 in 143. However, you can decrease your odds to as little as 1 in 429 by getting a home alarm system and having it monitored by ADT in Hopkins. Studies have shown that burglars are 3 times less likely3 to break into a home with a home alarm system.
Break-ins are more costly to Hopkins residents than installing an ADT monitored home security system. In 2011, the FBI reported $15.6 billion in losses across the nation, because of property crimes. Burglaries alone cost U.S. homeowners a total of $4.8 billion. What does this mean for you? If you experience a burglary in your Hopkins home, you stand to lose an approximate $2,200. Investing in an affordable ADT monitored home alarm system is worth it.

Location was out of the way, no microwave in roomI would consider staying at the Seaport again because of the nice facility and great staff, but location was a negative. Even with public transportation options, I felt like it required too much walking for me and my preschooler. Hotel restaurant was pricey (to be expected), but room service was over the top. $4 for child sized cup of milk (I thought for sure it was going to be a full sized glass) and $5 for one hard cookie when the menu said cookies irritated me. I expected it to cost more for the convenience, but that was ridiculous. It would probably be fine for a couple, but it wasn't very practical with a young child.

The view of the Boston Skyline was amazing. The shuttle to the airport and subway was very convenient and accomodating.We were in Boston for college orientation and only stayed one night. We arrived early the first day and our room was already available for check in. The walkway behind the hotel is a perfect place to sit and watch the sun go down and the city lights come on. The shuttle that the hotel provides to the blue line made getting into the city very easy. The room was clean, the beds comfortable and the staff very helpful. We were in a hurry to get to the airport and left one of the toothbrushes at home. When we called the front desk they had someone deliver a toothbrush to our room within 5 minutes. In the future I plan to stay again when visiting Boston. I would recommend staying at this hotel for the views, price and convenience.

After weeks of video installations projected on buildings, late-night television performances and rampant speculation, Kanye West's much-anticipated new album, Yeezus, will be released on Tuesday, thanks in large part to producer Rick Rubin. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Rubin talked about West's creative process and revealed a few of the methods behind the madness that is putting out an album.
The rapper recruited Rubin, who has worked with the likes of the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash, just a few weeks before the album was due to help finish several songs and give the album a sense of cohesion before the album was due.
The Hottest Live Photos of 2013: Kanye West
"It was good for me to go to the god, Rick Rubin, and play him my shit, ask him questions and allow him to take this project to an entirely new level," West said earlier this week at a listening party in New York.
After hearing the partially finished album, Rubin agreed to contribute to the project. "From what he played me, it sounded like several months more work had to be done," Rubin said. "I joined the project because after discussing what he had played for me, he asked if I would be open to taking all of the raw material on and help him finish it."
Instead of taking months, they finished it in mere weeks, despite the rapper's complicated schedule. Rubin recalls West promising to complete lyrics and record vocals on five songs, amid a baby shower for pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian and a looming flight to Italy.
"He said, 'Don't worry, I will score 40 points for you in the fourth quarter.' In the two hours before had to run out to catch the plane, he did exactly that: finished all lyrics and performed them with gusto," Rubin said. "A remarkable feat. He had total confidence in his ability to get the job done when push came to shove."
Rubin also applauded West's decision to eschew the usual promotional strategies for releasing an album. "Kanye chooses to let his art lead," Rubin said. "He didn't want a premeditated commercial [single] for his album as he looks at it as a body of work. I like it anytime an artist follows his own vision of a project and doesn't use the cookie cutter template expected of most artists."

"I am on my second one of these humidors. The lighter and extras are just icing. Great looking humi with a tight seal. The cigar bands mosaic design on the top is a nice 'challenge' for enterprising smokers who want to expand their cigar repertoire. Great as a gift or for yourself. Don't be fooled by more expensive humidors. This is a fine choice for newbies, seasoned smokers and everyone in between!"
"This was a great way to get started … or rather, to realize I needed a much larger humidor! : ) Besides it being small, the lid fits or rather seals on the inside of the container, which led me to crushing a stick – sigh. Anyway, going to use it as a place to store my "everyday's" after I get that bigger humidor I now realize I need - http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=M-HAV300&cat=10 - looks like it might be a better start lol! The lighter works like a king! "
"Great starter kit. If you're new to humidors this kit is right up your alley. Everything you need is included to prepare your humidor for your cigars. The only issue I had is the adhesive that holds the magnet to the humidifier fell off. However the problem was solved quickly after applying some new double sided from the local hardware. Don't let this issue discourage you however. It's a great little humidor, seals great and this mighty little humidor has a handsome finish on the outside. You'll love it!"
"I, like others have said, am fairly new to cigars and finally decided it was worth keeping them preserved if i was going to smoke them. I ordered this and sever sampler packs from CI. I seasoned it and had it up and running in 1.5 days and it has held humidity very well for the last week and a half. My wife even made the comment that is was "pretty". don't call my humi pretty, woman, this is a manly capsule of preservation for my fine smoking buddies to rest in. Overall build is excellent and i have to admit it is kind of "pretty" in a manly way of course."
"I recently purchased this humidor as a gift for my father, but when the box finally arrived,(that sneaky UPS guy almost pulled one over me...)and I caught my first glimpse of this little gem; well, Pop is going to have to wait for another one to come. This sits perfectly on my desk/coffee table/kitchen counter; and with its brilliantly decorated top, becomes more of a conversation piece with the right company. It holds 20-25 cigars, depending on their size(and if you're creative, stashing a couple in the lid with an elastic) and seals excellently. While it has nothing on my barrel humidor, it certainly is well made for a desktop one. An excellent purchase for the cigar novice or aficionado."
"Picked this up on my first CI purchase and must say I am very impressed with the package! It's a great buy for anyone interested in getting into cigars without breaking the bank. The humidor is high quality spanish cedar as advertised and is finely crafted inside and out. The label design on the top looks great, everyone comments on it! The lid fits snugly and seems to have inlaid magnets it holds so well! The crystal jar is a must after using this one, it really helps get up to 70%, and the CI juice will keep you going for over a year! The lighter works well and feels solid. While the cutter is plastic, it gets the job done for any standard size and hasn't failed after 20+ cuts!"
"I am new to the cigar world and this was the best way to start out by far! I love all the extras the only thing is once i got this humidor and put my cigars in it i found out(while surfing the internet) you were supposed to "season" it so it wont take the moisture out of your cigars and it will take about 2 days to do so. It would have been nice to find this out upon ordering it or at-least opening it. other than that small problem i am very pleased with this pack."
"Ordered this a couple of weeks ago to get started. My dad has been introducing me to the cigar world.....this product is a great way to get started in keeping your smokes fresh. The cutter works great as well as the lighter. I'm very satisfied with the product over all. The one little thing that disappointed me was the fact that it didn't come with the hydrometer; had to buy that separately. Very satisfied will definitely be doing more business with you guys. Thanks C.I."
"Not a bad starter kit at all. When I received it I was very happy with the quality of all the items. The humidor smells of fresh cedar and seasoned easily. Do yourself a favor and buy a Digital Hygrometer though. It stays at 70% all day. The lighter was my only disappointment, cause it does not last long enough. I would still buy the combo again anyways! For what you get this is a great combo! If you're on the fence just do it! This will be the perfect gift for a few people I know. This humidor easily fits in my desk drawer at work!"
"Great starter kit!"
"If your just starting out, This for you. This will save you alot of $$$$$"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A tree that crashed into a townhome has displaced one family and has forced the evacuation of other nearby units.
Charlotte firefighters told NBC Charlotte that a large, old tree fell on a townhome at the Abbey Place Apartments near Park Road and Woodlawn Road around 10 p.m.
Nobody was hurt but firefighters said that the Red Cross will be sheltering two adults and a child in the unit that the tree landed on.
Firefighters also evacuated people that live in an adjacent building due to fears that other trees on the property could fall overnight as the area is expecting heavy rain and strong winds.
Rescue officials added that the tree likely fell due to over saturated ground and a wind gust.
In all, eight units is two buildings were affected.

A separate study rating the maths and science performance of primary school students also shows Australia performing badly. Year four students ranked 18th and 25th in the world, respectively.
"To say the results are disappointing is an understatement," said Geoff Masters, chief executive of the Australian Council for Educational Research, which performed the testing in Australia.
It is the first time Australian primary school students' reading skills have been benchmarked internationally. The ranking is significantly worse than Australian high school students' reading levels.
It's interesting that the high school students' results weren't nearly so poor - what has changed, I wonder?

Gov. Tom Corbett has notified the federal government that he does not intend to approve an expansion of Medicaid that would make 1-in-4 Pennsylvanians eligible for medical assistance coverage.
Advocates say the decision is not only unfortunate for the hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians who will not gain insurance. The move could be fatal to small, rural hospitals that find themselves providing too much uncompensated care.
Medicaid, also known as medical assistance or MA, pays for health care services for eligible individuals including blind or disabled individuals and low-income families with children.
The reason Corbett doesn't want to expand Medicaid? The federal government plans to reduce the amount it reimburses hospitals because there were supposed to be fewer people without insurance showing up for medical care due to the Affordable Care Act.
"Federal (disproportionate share) payments are significantly cut beginning in 2014 with the start of the ACA coverage," said Ann Bacharach with the Pennsylvania Health Law Project. "The monkey wrench is that the Supreme Court decision made the Medicaid expansion optional for states by essentially removing the enforcement mechanism of denying all Medicaid funding if states did not expand."
Pennsylvania hospitals received more than $500 million in these disproportionate share payments in fiscal 2011.
"So, if Pennsylvania does not expand Medicaid," Bacharach said, "hospitals will still be required to provide care to the uninsured under federal law but will see their compensation for those patients seriously curtailed."
That possibility has Titusville Area Hospital concerned, Anthony J. Nasralla, the hospital's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
"I would rather have seen the governor opt-in to medical assistance expansion and find a way to insure those who do not have health insurance (and provide more options to those that do)," Nasralla said.
"But given the uncertainty and lack of commitment from the federal government, I can certainly understand why Pennsylvania would not enter into a situation that could change within a few years and be a burden to the Commonwealth," Nasralla said.
Dr. Barry Bittman, Meadville Medical Center spokesman, said an expansion of Medicaid would actually help control health care costs in the long run.
Under federal law, people can't be turned away when they show up at a hospital emergency room for treatment.
However, Bittman said people without some type of health insurance care or whom have high insurance deductibles may not seek care right away when ill because of their out-of-pocket cost.
A simple urinary infection that may be treated with an antibiotic, if left untreated, may evolve into urinary sepsis that can require an extended hospitalization and cost $25,000 to $30,000 to treat, Bittman said.
"By the time they're really ill, an already serious situation becomes more difficult to treat," he said.
"Expanding Medicaid would expand the level of care available to keep them out of the hospital," Bittman said.
Medicaid was 10.20 percent of Titusville's net patient revenue in fiscal year 2011 while uncompensated care was 4.68 percent, according to the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council, which does financial analysis of each hospital in Pennsylvania. Fiscal year 2011 is the latest year figures are available from the PHCCCC.
Medicaid was 7.14 percent of Meadville's net patient revenue in fiscal year 2011 while uncompensated care was 2.03 percent, according the PHCCCC.
For all 23 northwest Pennsylvania acute care hospitals — those that provide short-term medical care for sudden or severe disease or trauma — Medicaid averaged 10.54 percent of net patient revenue in fiscal 2011, while uncompensated care was 2.80 percent.
For the 168 Pennsylvania acute care hospitals in fiscal 2011, the statewide Medicaid average was 12.5 percent while uncompensated care averaged 2.72 percent, according to the PHCCCC.
Currently, 17 percent of the Crawford County population is receiving Medical Assistance.
The Center for Rural Pennsylvania estimated that one-quarter of Pennsylvania's rural hospitals are already financially-distressed and the strain of absorbing more of the cost of treating uninsured people could be more than many can bear, advocates warn.
Pennsylvania's reduction in uncompensated care reimbursements from the federal government is expected to be $1.9 billion over the next decade.
"Many Pennsylvania hospitals, especially those in rural areas, may not survive," according to a study released in January by the health law project and the Office of Rural Health, based at Penn State.
A spokeswoman from the governor's office did not dispute the concerns about the uncompensated care costs, but she suggested that the federal government was at blame for holding hospitals hostage.
"We are aware and have strong concerns with the federal government's proposal to take away millions of dollars for Pennsylvania hospitals," Corbett spokeswoman Christine Cronkright said. "Payments to hospitals have always been partly based upon the amount of uncompensated care delivered, and it appears that the federal government is trying to leverage hospitals and place them unfairly in the middle of states' expansion decisions."
The Corbett Administration said it estimated that participating in the Medicaid expansion that would add 800,000 people to medical assistance would cost Pennsylvania $1 billion through 2014-15 and a total of $4.1 billion.
Advocates say the governor is overestimating the number of people who would be added to the Medicaid rolls and misrepresenting the costs. Bacharach, with the health law project, said that Census estimates suggest about 475,000 people would be eligible for Medicaid under the expansion.
The study by the health law project and the Office for Rural Health found that the expansion would save the state more than $300 million and generate more than $50 million in new tax revenue on managed care companies that would expand to meet the demand created by the increased number of people enrolled in Medicaid.

Every two years, the U.S. Air Force Pararescue Association holds a reunion packed with activities for current and retired pararescuemen from around the world.
This year, the group has chosen to play on the East End, Sept. 18 through the 23rd. The coordinating committee of the reunion is comprised of retired and former pararescuemen from the 103rd Rescue Squadron's parent unit, the based in Westhampton. Francis S. Gabreski Airport has been home to pararescumen since 1975, where pararescue jumpers (or "PJs") have provided search and rescue support throughout the northeast and around the globe.
Southampton Town Board members will begin Wednesday's meeting by presenting members of the 103rd Rescue Squadron with a proclamation welcoming current and retired pararescuemen to the area. Accepting the proclamation on the group's behalf will be Master Sgt. Jules Roy, Staff Sgt. Mark Joseloff and Staff Sgt. Mathew Zimmer.
Historically, the reunion is attended by several hundred pararescue retirees, family, friends, as well as active duty members of the U.S. Air Force, Reserves, and Air National Guard. This year will include wine tastings, area tours, a banquet, barbecue, fishing trip, and 5K run at Indian Island County Park.
A pararescue jumper rodeo will also take place on Peconic Bay on Sept. 18 between Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center in Riverhead and in Greenport. Stay tuned for more details on this special event.
