Updated Wednesday at 3:49 p.m.
Chief Administrative Officer Robert Skinner said he does not have restoration estimates for those who remain without power but said there were two Connecticut Light and Power crews in Canton Wednesday afternoon.
While a phone message at Connecticut Light and Power tells customers to check with town officials for restoration estimates, Skinner said the town does not direct that in any way. The town does give the utility its priority list and works closely with them on cleanup efforts, Skinner said.
Major town facilities, such as schools and the community center, are on line but CL&P will determine the best course of action from here, officials said.
At noon, CL&P estimated that 9 percent or 448 of its 4,939 Canton customers were without power. By 3:51 p.m., the estimate was down to 424 customers, or 8 percent. Shortly after 12:15 a.m. Thursday, the number was 376 customers, or 7 percent.
While town streets are passable, the town's Department of Public Works will continue cleaning today and likely tomorrow, Skinner added.
Skinner added that he is pleased with the way that Department, Police and the town of Canton Volunteer Fire and EMS Department worked the storm.
"All the town services pulled together," he said.
While a few streets were hit hard, all in all the town fared well.
"Obviously we were spared as compared to the coast," Skinner said.
Updated Wednesday, 9:08 a.m.
Although officials cautioned residents that power restoration would likely stall overnight, Connecticut Light and Power estimates have improved since 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Then, an estimated 15 percent of Canton customers were without power. At 8 a.m., the utility estimated 447, or 9 percent, of its 4,939 Canton customers were in the dark.
Power can fluctuate as systems are brought online or additional problems found, officials said.
Also school is in session. Tuesday night, a remaining closed status on a TV station web site and other rumors led to much confusion.
The town of Canton has also issued the following reminders and updates.
- Still out of power and your neighbors have power? Call CL&P again at 800-286-2000 or via your hand held device on cl-p.com/StormCenter.
- Significant progress was made in clearing and powering up Canton neighborhoods last night. CL&P continues to work to restore every home in town. All roads are clear and the Department of Public Works will be out today chipping and clearing what they cut yesterday. There will be no curbside pickup of brush/trees.
- Showers at Mills Pond Pool House will continue to be open from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. until further notice. Residents must bring their own toiletries/towels.
- The Transfer Station is open with normal hours. Fees will be waived for brush and tree debris from the storm through this Saturday, Nov. 3.
- Town Hall and the Senior Center are both open today with regular hours, business and programming.
- The Community Center is open with normal hours and continues to be a charging station for those without power.
- The Emergency Operations Center is in a closed status. Issues will be managed remotely by EOM management.
- In-person voter registration deadline for the November 6th Election has been extended to Nov. 1. Call 860-693-7839 or 860-693-7870 for more information.
- Tonight is Halloween. Please proceed with caution as you trick or treat through your neighborhood as there may be small amounts of brush in the roads and on people's property. Check out Halloween Safety Tips from the Canton Police Department.
Original story
Canton officials expect remaining power restoration efforts to resume Wednesday.
"We want people to know we don't expect any serious restoration efforts to begin until tomorrow," First Selectman Richard Barlow said Tuesday evening.
But there was some good news Tuesday night when power was restored to some of the Dyer Avenue area, including Canton Intermediate and Canton High schools. As of Tuesday night, superintendent Kevin Case said schools were in session for Wednesday.
As of 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Connecticut Light and Power Crews estimated that 761, or 15 percent of its 4,939 Canton customers remained without power. At 9:46 p.m., it was down to an estimated 703 without power.
There were CL&P crews in town Tuesday but Barlow said making the roadways safe and passable took most of the day.
One challenge for the area is that the bulk of crews are working along the shoreline, which was affected much more by the storm. There are only a limited number working from Simsbury's CL&P work center, which services Avon, Simsbury, Canton, Granby, East Granby, Bloomfield, Farmington and West Hartford, Barlow said.
Still the power numbers were improved over 5 p.m. Tuesday when CL&P estimated 1,235 or 25 percent of Canton customers without power.
Most Canton roads, except one small section of Breezy Hill, should be passable, officials said.
Barlow also said he did not see any reason to delay trick or treating.
"Right now I don't see any reason to postpone it," he said.
The town has also waived brush and tree debris disposal fees at the transfer station through Saturday. Proof of residency is required.
In addition, the town is offering showers at the Mills Pond Recreation Center from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. beginning Wednesday, Oct. 31. Residents must bring their own toiletries/towels. The showers will remain open until further notice.

Phoenix Sports Writer
Jake Gandara laughed when someone asked if he was making this a habit, being named the Phoenix Player of the Week, the final one for the 2012 season, for the second straight week.
"I don't think so," he said.
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior ran for a school-record and game-high 397 yards on 31 carries and scored five touchdowns in the 49-42 victory against Sallisaw this past Friday.
A week ago, he ran for 200 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns.
Not surprisingly, Gandara said this weekend that he was feeling Friday's game.
"Everybody's sore and tired," he said. "You need a lot of energy running the ball, but I also have been playing free safety for the last two games."
Gandara, though, enhanced his credentials as a running back with his latest performance. He broke the record of 319 yards by Patrick Holybee against Grove in 1993.
"One of our assistant coaches told me after the game how many yards I had," Gandara said. "I had no idea. I thought something was wrong with the statistics. I didn't think I had that much. I guess I did."
Fort Gibson coach James Singleton said Gandara's performance against the Black Diamonds ranks higher for him than his showing against the Stilwell Indians in week nine.
"It came against a much better opponent in a traditional rivalry," the second-year Tigers' coach said. "Fort Gibson had not beaten them since 2004. Sallisaw has an outstanding program and a great team. We just got on Jake's shoulders."
Gandara increased his season's totals to 1,781 yards on 177 carries (10.1 yards per carry) and 25 touchdowns. He's quick to credit others for his latest showing.
"We controlled the line of scrimmage and our linemen played their tails off," he said. "My fullback (Seth Taylor) and wide receivers also did a great job."
Gandara's not the first player to earn the Phoenix weekly honors twice this season. Wagoner's Lawrence Evitt won it in weeks four and seven.
With all respect to Evitt, Singleton prefers Gandara on his team.
"He has all of the physical attributes of a great running back," the Fort Gibson coach said. "He has great vision and acceleration. He's now taking 10-15-yard runs and turning them into 60 yards. Three or four guys had him wrapped up the other night and he broke loose to take it to the house."
Gandara felt bad that his showing overshadowed the school-record tying four interceptions by Jordon London.
"He played awesome," Gandara said.
London, Gandara and the rest of the Tigers will host Oologah in the opening round of the Class 4A playoffs this Friday.

Karen: Oh the joys of parenthood. It begins like this…You hear the kids bickering in the next room. The squeals of fun turn to wails of anger. Not wanting to have to break up a full blown fist fight, you shout, "hey!" The littlest voice shouts back, "she started it!" Fortunately, my kids often get along and I don't hear that phrase all that often. The "she started it" in this case refers to me. Yes, I take full blame (or credit) for starting this crazy running business. Although, as is typically the case when you grill the kids about "what's going on it here!?", I'm not entirely sure how it happened.
Jon: I had always considered myself the "fit" one in our marriage. I have always enjoyed playing almost any sport – tennis, basketball, soccer, baseball, and especially hockey (which always seems to throw people off when they see my 5'6″, 130 lb frame). The one sport I didn't enjoy was running . I could play start/stop sports all day, but would get side stitches after just a half mile of continuous running. The only rational explanation for this was that something biologically was intrinsically wrong with me and that I was just not made for running. It made sense at the time…
Karen: Like many things in life, I can blame my family in part for my running craze. My father took up running at the age of 55 because he got too cold on his daily walks. Running was faster and warmer. When he and my mom turned their local 5K into a huge party, I had to join the fun. My sister decided one day that she needed to be healthier, and thus I lost my donut-for-breakfast-extra-mayo-on-the-sandwich-for-lunch-chocolate-malt-for-snack partner. Then, one day, I got on the scale and shrieked, "Aaaa! Gasp! Are you kidding me?" That began my quest for a healthier life, including some exercise. It wasn't until I was actually in shape that I started running. The gym I belonged to started a running group one fall, and I, and, well, no one else, joined. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed running. The personal trainer in charge of the "group" told me I should run a marathon, to which I replied, "haaaa haaaa heeee heeee snicker snort gasp; oh, you're serious?"
Jon: I remember that first 5K well – humbling to say the least. I figured if my 57 year old father in law could run it, since I was just 32 I should be fine. So I went up to the starting line, with a full 2 miles of pre-race training and got thoroughly smoked. I'm pretty sure I was last in my age group, passed up by strollers, grade-schoolers, and fast walkers. But I finished, and I didn't die (despite how I felt on the course). I'd like to say this embarrassment is what pushed me to work harder on running, but on the contrary, it just reinforced that this body was not designed to run.
Karen: By the time I signed up to run my first marathon, I was in great physical shape. I enjoyed asking the kids, "who's stronger, mommy or daddy?" They always answered with the with the appropriate, "mommy!" My running shape however was lacking. I had a training schedule to follow, and I did…alone. During a particularly awful 18 mile training run I promised myself that I would never again do this alone (and often thought I would never again run a marathon). At the time I was not sure who I was going to convince, but I was determined to run with other people.
Jon: And so I watched as my wife, who would have never been considered an athlete, transformed herself in the short span of a year from sedentary mother of two, to a marathon runner. Seeing it firsthand, the excuses were gone. She showed me that with dedication and perseverance, a runner is made, not born. For her second Flying Pig, I joined her in training. It wasn't that I wanted to show her I could do it, but rather that she had shown me I could. After years of watching the marathoners from our apartment in Newport and thinking it was simply impossible for us to do it, I am now working on my fourth marathon and continuing to feel stronger – thanks to Karen and her indefatigable father.
Karen Minzner is a wife, mom, former school psychologist-turned-photographer and calls herself a certified non-athlete who took up running at age 33. She is currently training for her fifth marathon. Jon Minzner, a Northern Kentucky physician, took up running at age 34 to keep up with his wife. He's currently training for his fourth marathon. You can drop them a note at email@example.com

Ashlea Ebeling, Forbes Staff
I write about how to build, manage and enjoy your family's wealth.
Who's falling for reverse mortgages these days? Leading edge baby boomers, aged 62 to 64. They represent more than one out of five (21%) applicants, compared to only about 6% in that age group back in 1999, according to a new report by the MetLife Mature Market Institute. Almost half of applicants were under 70, double the percentage in that age group in 1999.
Is 62 too young to take out a reverse mortgage? "It spells trouble," says Stephanie Moulton, an assistant public policy professor at Ohio State University and a former reverse mortgage counselor for AARP. If they don't have other retirement assets and they're spending down the equity in their house, these "young" reverse mortgage borrowers are putting themselves at great risk down the line.
The logic behind reverse mortgages is to allow older seniors to access equity in their homes so they can age in place. (You have to be at least 62). A lender advances money in monthly payments or as a lump sum, and the borrower remains on the hook for real estate taxes, homeowner's insurance and upkeep. Meanwhile, the balance owed grows until the homeowner moves or dies and the house is sold.
The reality: there are rising defaults where homeowners can't keep up with their property taxes. Or their health fails, and they have to move out. Poof! Oftentimes the homeowner ends up with no (or little) equity left, eaten up by accrued fees and interest that add up as you age.
Making matters worse is that many young borrowers are taking out reverse mortgages for the wrong reasons—not to live out their final year in comfort in their family home but because they need cash, now, to cover short-term financial shortfalls, according to the MetLife report, Changing Attitudes, Changing Motives. (Wells Fargo and Bank of America quit offering reverse mortgages last year, leaving MetLife as the biggest player; 74,000 of these loans were made last year, down from a high of 115,000 in 2009.)
The report subtly sounds an alarm to all prospective borrowers: "To the extent that they decide to tap home equity today, this resource will not be available to meet future needs. The decision that these aging homeowners make will therefore have long-term consequences for their retirement security." And a more direct warning targeted toward big spenders who are saddled with debt: "These homeowners might be better served if they resolved their financial problems now, rather than deferring them through a reverse mortgage loan with interest to the future."
Another factor hurting the young borrower is the higher relative cost of these loans at younger ages. Borrowers of all ages pay the same upfront fees and costs, but older borrowers get more money (because their life expectancy is shorter). The report gives this example where both borrowers pay $15,000 in upfront fees: A 65-year-old with a $250,000 paid up home could expect to get $103,000 as a lump sum or $687 a month for as long as she lives in her current home with a standard reverse mortgage. In contrast, an 85-year-old with a $250,000 paid up home would get $141,000 as a lump sum or almost twice as much per month.
Reverse mortgages are so complicated that would-be borrowers have to go through counseling (mandated by Congress) before hocking their house. The counseling rules were expanded in 2010 to include what's called a FIT assessment. In addition to describing the loan options, the counselor discusses whether the loan is right for you based on personal issues such as your health, your plans to leave your house to heirs, and how long you plan to live there. Ideally you're healthy and can stay in your home forever. But most reverse mortgages have short life spans, Moulton says. The average reverse mortgage survival rate is 7 years, and it's only 22% that make it to 10 years.
So what happens to borrowers after they leave their homes? That's one of the questions Moulton hopes to answer in a three-year research project she's undertaking (funded by the MacArthur Foundation) to look at what impact reverse mortgages have had on the long-term financial well being of a subset of 30,000 borrowers who got counseling from Atlanta-based CredAbility. "Where are these people now? We don't know," asks Moulton. Her top concern is for seniors who are entering retirement without any or very little retirement savings. She notes that according to the 2007 Survey of Consumer Finance, home equity represents 80% of total wealth for one quarter of senior homeowners over the age of 62. They need to use that housing wealth wisely.
For folks with substantial retirement savings beyond their housing wealth, a reverse mortgage could be part of an overall retirement income strategy—even at the young age of 62. In an article in the Journal of Financial Planning, Reversing the Conventional Wisdom: Using Home Equity to Supplement Retirement Income, authors tax lawyer Barry Sacks and economist Stephen Sacks show that for these homeowners a strategy of drawing on a reverse mortgage credit line at the outset of retirement—instead of using a reverse mortgage as a last resort after exhausting other assets–increases the likely duration of their cash flow in retirement and their total retirement income withdrawals.
One last word: The U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development warns prospective reverse mortgage borrowers: "beware of scam artists that charge thousands of dollars for information that is free from HUD."
A reverse mortgage is just another poor terrible financial "investment" that takes advantage of the elderly, and in the case of this article, the not so elderly. The lack of knowledge about finances on display by the general population is frightening. Poor investment strategies and poor home purchasing habits to name a few, just give the liberals who want to manage our lives the leverage they need in their campaign to take over our decision making processwith regards to finances. It is a sad day when people prefer to let the good times roll and the heck with figuring out how to manage their money.
Sad but true.
I see many elderly people take out home equity loans and cash advances on credit cards – that is when they get in real trouble. I consult extensively with clients, their advisors, their caretakers – so they know how to plan their money properly. Many folks say their home is their nest egg – how do you access that nest-egg?
I hear you but you're assuming that NO ONE has a life changing event, that they've prepared for everything, that they've been able to sock enough away over a long period of time with balanced investments, insurance, long term care. I'm fiscally conservative and have hoped that I've done all of the above but I have friends that I thought were in better shape than me and life hit them hard with a curve ball- loss of job late in career, loss of spouse or child, health related or other things like divorce. They started out with every intention to be the person you said they needed to be and, boom, right in the kisser. A couple of them sold, moved into smaller accommodations (that they still complain about) and a couple of them did what the article says, tapped into the large amount of equity they worked so hard to build up (like you think we should all do). The reverse mortgage was a life saver for some of them and I'm glad I know how they work if something drastic ever happens to my wife or I. I'm not trying to change your mind, just adding another view point- we don't always control our own destiny.
There is no other solution which is design to allow seniors to remain in their current homes, release equity, all without having a mortgage payment
simple as that – if seniors are looking to do the above and have the means to qualify then its their call
yes the balance grows every year but to offset this there is the appreciation of the home which should be higher then the rate being charged

Not sure why you would lead with "who is FALLING" for reverse mortgages? PEople apply for reverse mortgages, just as they do when they refinance/cash out, or take out home-equity loans.
In addition, as one looks forward, it certainly appears that there is an accompanying demographic change that will result in a glut of certain types of homes as baby boomers look to downsize their homes. This increase in supply will accompany a decrease in demand which could push prices lower as shown here:
Apparently the problem with reverse mortgages also includes promises of "living rent and maintenance free" in addition to promises of income. Who doesn't want to cut their living expenses these days? Retiring boomers who are already facing a financial squeeze are being suckered into thinking that this is a quick fix to their problems with income. It's not just low income boomers being suckered into reverse mortgages too early either, there are plenty of well-off homeowners who have equity built up in their homes being courted by reverse lenders. The concept of the reverse mortgage seems far too good to be true, but as long as boomers are duped into believing that real estate market conditions are not going to worsen, they're willing to listen. Sounds an awful lot like the teaser rate and zero down mortgages that caused the sub-prime crisis. Anyone else skeptical that we've seen the worst of the real estate market? I sure am.
Suckered, duped? Some folks saw the market collapse coming and locked in their home value with a reverse mortgage and are now sitting on a big pile of obtainable/accessable cash that would have not been there without this product. Who suckered who? Why don't you read up on these things before you get a reputation as a loud mouth, in fact I know your type already.
You have printed so much mis-information,you should be sued!
"Apparently the problem with reverse mortgages also includes promises of "living rent and maintenance free" in addition to promises of income."
FALSE: A condition of the loan is "You must pay ,taxes,insurance and maintenance" even though there is no mortgage payment, you must
pay these cost out of pocket.
" The concept of the reverse mortgage seems far too good to be true"
FALSE: The concept is too good .Yes. The problem is that it is so good as a benefit for the elderly that there is not enough profit in it for the lenders,so it remains " untold".The Act is "Great", but it depends upon what the money is used for as to how great it is.
" but as long as boomers are duped into believing that real estate market conditions are not going to worsen"
THIS IS THE MOST FALSE:AND PROOF YOU HAVE NO REAL IDEA ABOUT REVERSE MORTGAGES: When the person gets the money,they NEVER have to pay it back.The house pays off the mortgage.If it takes 30 years and the house is only valued at 1/2 what is owed, the lender gets PAID in full– 1/2 from the sale of the house and the other half
PAID BY THE TAXPAYERS. NO money from the heirs or the borrowers even IF they are in the 1% and leave BILLIONS.
One size doesn't fit everyone. Reverse mortgages are sometimes a lifeline to those who desperately need the income and have no other source to obtain it. Reverse mortgages are expensive to obtain and should be evaluated as well as shopped. For more information about this and other types of mortgages see propertymortgageinvestment.com.
Ten years ago, when my wife and I were 55, we made up our minds what we wanted as a Net Worth when we retired at age 66. We had never had a joint income of more than $80,000, but have always saved, and we paid for our daughter's $100,000 education with no college loans, etc.
The below was what we wanted for a Balance Sheet on the day we retired ~
$250,000 ~ Equity Mutual Funds (EMF)- 401K (No Bond Funds)
$50,000 ~ Whole Life Insurance Cash Values (Bond Fund) ~ $150,000 Face Value
$200,000 ~ Home Equity Value (No mortgage, or Home Equity Loan)
$50,000 ~ Cash or Cash Equivalents
Total ~ $550,000 Net Worth
Cash Flow from Social Security ~ $30,000
Cash Flow from Liquidation of EMF for 20 Years ~ $20,000+/- (+Inflation)
In the event the Market is down in any given year(s), tap into the Cash.
In good years, add the 'surplus' to the Cash.
Over simplified? Perhaps. And, yes, the EMF portfolio could be all gone by the time we reach 85.
If both of us are still alive at age 85, the house will be sold, hopefully at more than $200,000, and we downsize. Who wants to maintain a 2,500 square foot house and mow a lawn, etc. at age 85?
If I die somewhere along in those 15 years, she will have $150,000+++ in life insurance proceeds. If she dies somewhere along the way, I'll lease a 'bachelor's pad'.
Now, I know the above will be criticized by many financial wizards (the Market may crash permanently, etc.), but it is a plan . . . And it is SIMPLE Plan .
And . . . You know what? Only the idiots in our nation's capitol can 'mess it up'.
But . . . What else is new?
The real issue should be, "There is a program financied by the federal government that allows senior citizens (62+) to access part of their accumulated wealth they have in their primary residence."
What they do with that "cashed out " wealth determines whether or not it was a good thing or a bad thing for them and they should consider it as " justaluckyfool" will always say with any future event, i.e. "It could be bad, It could be good, or it could make no difference.". Only time will tell.
You can purchase a new primary residence with just a down payment..
amount equal to your age subtarcted from 100. E.G. if 65 that would be 35%
If you move to a retirment home style community and the home is valued at $150,000, for a one time payment of $52,500 you are Guaranteed by Uncle Sam a LIFE TIME ESTATE .
And oh,by the way, where you are living now,do not sell it yet,You can put it on the market for sale but ask $55,000 more than todays value just in case you want to live "free" in your new home.Better yet,……RENT…..IT and increase your "socialsecure" income by at least $1,000 per month and still have
"the total asset"
Most important …You must consult a professional. There are many things you need to be aware of before ANY INVESTMENT.
"Believe nothing merely because you have been told it…But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit,the welfare of all beings – that doctrine believe and cling to,and take it as your guide."- Buddha[Gautama Siddharta] (563 – 483 BC), Hindu Prince, founder of Buddhism. Email firstname.lastname@example.com
But then , "How are you suppose to know this "gift from Uncle Sam" ?
Go to the web site mentioned in this article (hud.gov and there is NOTHING, Zero, Zilch, about …"use a reverse mortgage to purchase a home"
Google it, or Bing it, Find out have the 1% can get richer.
Get a mortgage with no payments no matter how upside down the property may go, Uncle Sam will pay in full upon death !
Google "Use a reverse mortgage to purchase a home"
Discover that you can even BORROW the money from your present home
to get the "free" one and have your "tenant" pay off the loan.
Change the saying "Born Free to Home Free".
You could even get a tri-plex in a vacation area,use the income from two of the units to increase your "socialsecure" income $2000 plus per month !(Don't forget,you still own your other home with tenants or instead of having your grandchildren or kids with you LET THEM LIVE THERE FREE ! ! ! ! !
Challenge this , email to firstname.lastname@example.com
I think everybody would agree to me with this thought that struck me while reading this. We will all somehow experience this mortgages dilemmas as we aged.
Reverse mortgage is really a common option of boomers. Though nowadays there are lot of solutions much better than the old style, still if I were to ask, this plan is also a one way to have financial risk.
A particular housing mortgage dilemma will just make look older just like the olden days. Fuss no more pals, there is a solution to every problem.

The dilapidated bleachers at Marshall High School in Silver Lake have been in such a sorry state for so long, I stopped noticing until recently, when I saw a grandfather teeter as he stepped over a sinkhole in the floorboards.
That made me really look around, as my daughter played in a city recreation league basketball game. It wasn't pretty.

Judge Rules Florida Congressional Maps Unconstitutional, Orders Them Redrawn
July 11, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - A state judge ruled Thursday that Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature illegally drew the state's congressional districts and has ordered them redrawn.
It was the first legal test of a 2010 constitutional amendment approved by voters that says legislators can no longer map out districts to favor incumbents or a political party.
University of Central Florida political science professor Aubrey Jewett says the new ruling is not expected to disrupt this year's elections, because the Legislature is set to appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.
"I suspect what will happen is, if the Florida Supreme Court upholds this judge's decision, then we will see things redrawn perhaps this coming year," says Jewett, "and then the next regularly-scheduled set of elections, we would have new districts."
Alternatively, the state Supreme Court could order special elections. Or they could strike down Thursday's ruling and declare that the current maps are fair.
But Jewett says it's more likely the maps will have to be redrawn in 2015.

Oskaloosa Herald
Jim Walker has a passion for the way things were back in the 1840s.
Walker served as "booshway" for the Dog Hollow Rendezvous at Caldwell Park, just east of Oskaloosa this past weekend. A booshway is another word for "head man" or "leader."
Although this is their sixth year at the park, Dog Hollow Rendezvous has been around for 21 years, said Walker. This weekend's event included a skillet toss, hawk and knife throw, bow shooting, rolling pin toss and more. Traditional crafts of all kinds could also be seen at their encampment.
Those participating in the Dog Hollow Rendezvous live in traditional housing known as lodges, according to Walker. They also ate food cooked on the campfire in the pioneer way, as well.
The Dog Hollow Rendezvous is very specific when it comes to the time period they portray. Walker said they focus on the years between 1840 to 1846 during an era of fur trading.
"The fur trader is a big part of American history, because that's when the travel to the west started," said Walker, adding that it's important to preserve this era in American history. "We want to see if we can get families out here to enjoy nature — especially Caldwell Park."
Those at the Dog Hollow Rendezvous got lucky when it came to the weather.
"It's beautiful," said Walker. "Normally Dog Hollow is in the dog days of summer and it's hot. But, we've been blessed this weekend with beautiful weather."

Just a note to say that I've added two more programs which I regularly use to my download section on this website. As always, these are free to download and include the source codes under the GNU/GPL License v3. If you have autohotkey installed, you can run the AHK files and modify these to suit your needs. The new programs also read off a configuration file which you can modify in any text editor in order to tweak the program to suit your needs.
Launcher v2.0 is crude replacement to the quick launch toolbar which arranges your icons in a grid that you define (the default is 7x7). Change the links and icons by running the program, right-clicking on the icon in the system tray and select "Edit Configuration...". Hopefully this will be of some use to you.
Unduplicater v1.1 is a basic tool to compare two folders and remove duplicates (ignoring file extensions). For more information on this one, see the DOWNLOAD section of this website.

WINSTON-SALEM — The question of whether Bryn Renner was injured or not hung over the second half, as grim and gray as the clouds that interrupted warm-ups and soaked any fan unlucky enough to leave the parking lots early.
It wasnt the uncertain health of the North Carolina quarterback that cost the Tar Heels in a 28-27 loss to Wake Forest Saturday, nor the health of another key player, running back Giovani Bernard, who didnt play at all.
The Tar Heels were undone by a classic bit of coaching from Jim Grobe and Steed Lobotzke, the Wake Forest coach and offensive coordinator, who played one of their programs themes over and over, like the guy who keeps punching up the same song on the jukebox.
From the days of Kenny Moore right on through to Chris Givens this past season, the Demon Deacons have always excelled at getting the ball to their playmakers in open positions. Wake Forest has never been overloaded with game-breaking talent, but theres usually one guy who can do it, and this season that guy is Michael Campanaro.
The white-gloved Campanaro caught 13 passes for 164 yards, carrying the Deacons during the large swaths of the game when the offense otherwise struggled.
The guy is amazing, Grobe said. Hes got a knack for getting in the creases and getting open.
Price administered the killer blow, catching the North Carolina defense off guard with a quick snap on the goal line, allowing him to squirm through for the go-ahead touchdown. A similar play late in the second half left Renner flat on his face and his status for the rest of the game uncertain.
Renner was met by Duran Lowe at the one-yard line and appeared to take the hit directly on his helmet. Renner got to his hands and knees, waved to the sideline, then collapsed on his stomach.
It was more just my ribs, Renner said. I got the wind knocked out of me. I kind of fell on the ball sideways. That was basically it.
Renner only missed one play, but struggled mightily on the next two series, getting sacked three times and fumbling the ball away, leading to a Wake Forest touchdown.
After Renner opened the second half by nearly throwing the ball straight to Wake Forests Joey Ehrmann for what would have been a certain touchdown, the Tar Heels kept the ball mostly on the ground, pressing the advantage against the Deacons decimated defensive line all-everything nose guard Nikita Whitlock missed most of the game with an ankle injury with Blue and Romar Morris doing a credible job filling in for Bernard, albeit without the same big-play threat.
Still, Fedora acknowledged that Renner didnt quite look right in the second half.
Thats one that Ive got to go back and look at myself, because I made the call at the end to put him back out there, Fedora said. We felt like he was ready to go. The medical staff felt like he was ready to go. All indications, he was. He took a pretty good lick down there. Im sure he got rattled a little bit.
Even with Renner at full strength and Bernard on the field, North Carolina may not have beaten Wake Forest too many mistakes, too many penalties, too many busted plays from a team thats still learning an offense that requires precise execution to operate at its intended speed. And neither of them would ever provide the answer for Campanaro the Tar Heels never had.

All students signed their housing contract prior to room selection. The following is the text of that agreement.
The undersigned individual (hereinafter Student), hereby agrees to lease and occupy an assigned space in a Cornell College (hereinafter College) residence hall or other College-owned or College-leased residential building (hereinafter Hall) for the 2013-2014 academic year. The College hereby agrees to lease and permit said occupancy, according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
An enrollment deposit (hereinafter Deposit) was paid when the Student was admitted and decided to attend Cornell. The College retains the Deposit until graduation or until the Student officially withdraws from the College. At the time of graduation or withdrawal during the academic year, the Deposit, less any amount owed to the College, is refunded to the Student. If the Student plans to finish the academic year but chooses not to return the following fall, the Student may not participate in any room selection activities and must notify the Dean of Students Office by the first Wednesday of Block 8, or the Deposit will be forfeited.
Dates of Occupancy
Terms of this agreement begin on Tuesday, August 27, 2013, for new first-year and transfer students and Saturday, August 31, 2013, for returning students. Terms of this agreement end at 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 8, 2014, for all non-graduating students and at 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, 2014, for all graduating students. All Halls will be vacated for winter break beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 21, 2013 and ending at 7 a.m. on Sunday, January 12, 2014. For spring break and holidays when the Halls remain open for occupancy, the College reserves the right to require any Student who stays in the Halls during that period to register for break housing, though no additional charge will be assessed to the Student.
Each spring, the Board of Trustees approves the annual rate for a space in a multiple occupancy room. If the Student occupies a designated single room or super single room, a premium rate is charged in addition to the standard room rate. Single rooms and super single rooms are not available to new students (except in cases where the Student has provided appropriate medical documentation).
Meal Plan
Each Student living in the Halls is required to have a resident student meal contract with Cornell's dining service vendor.
The College shall accept no responsibility for the damage, theft, or loss of money, valuables, or other personal belongings of the Student. The College encourages students to obtain appropriate insurance coverage through their family's homeowner's policy or a separate renter's policy.
Right of Entry
College representatives may enter Halls and student rooms at any time for the purposes of
- making necessary or agreed-upon repairs;
- supplying necessary or agreed-upon services;
- investigating health or safety concerns;
- ensuring compliance with evacuation procedures during a fire alarm;
- responding to a disruption (e.g. to silence a loud alarm clock or stereo when no one is in the room); or
- enforcing College policy when there is specific reason to suspect a violation.
The Student shall not assign this Agreement or any interest under it, or sublet the premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the premises or any part thereof by anyone other than the Student. Short-term guests are permitted in accordance with the Residence Hall Policies.
The College reserves the right to make changes in room assignments and to assign the Student to any room at any time. The College reserves the right to assign new roommates or consolidate partially empty rooms at any time. A Student who selected a room and/or roommate through room selection is not permitted to request a room change until the 5th Block. A Student assigned a room and/or roommate by the Residence Life Office is not permitted to request a room change until the completion of 1st Block. The Student may appeal for an exception to this policy by submitting a request to the Residence Life Office for review.
The College reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without refund because of improper conduct. A Student who withdraws or graduates from the College or takes a leave of absence is not permitted to live in College-owned housing. If the Student withdraws or graduates from the College, this agreement will be terminated and eligibility for any refund will be determined by the College refund policy. The Student shall vacate the Halls by the date and time as agreed upon with or as directed by a College official, generally within 48 hours of separation from the College. A student who graduates during the middle of a semester may seek permission from the Director of Residence Life to remain in housing for the balance of that semester; if permission is granted, full room and board charges would remain in effect. A Student who is enrolled but not actively taking a for-credit course (as defined by the Office of the Registrar) during a particular block may be removed from housing without refund because of improper conduct.
The Student is held accountable for property damage in the assigned room and/or in the public areas of the assigned Hall. The Student may be charged for repair or replacement costs due to the removal or destruction of property in the assigned Hall.
The Student agrees to comply with this Agreement's terms and conditions as well as those outlined in College publications related to policy, procedure and student conduct. These publications may be amended from time to time and include, but are not limited to, the Cornell College Catalogue, The Compass and the Residence Life Handbook.

Long time WITI-TV (Channel 6) meteorlogist Bart Adrian will leave the station when his contract expires at the end of August, news director Jim Lemon announced Thursday.
Lemon said Adrian's departure was a "mutual decision."
Adrian said that his "nearly 28 years here at FOX 6 have been an incredible gift, a time filled with opportunities to serve and grow in this community. And now that my tenure is coming to an end, I'm really looking forward to remaining in this community and finding new ways to use my skills to serve."
Adrian celebrates his 28th anniversary at the station on June 22. He is the second veteran to leave WITI in recent months; his departure follows that of long time morning show host Mark Concannon.
"He is certainly loved here," Lemon said of Adrian
"He's a great guy ... a generous person, really community oriented, one of the best team players and hard working."
Lemon said, Adrian has given tours of the station to "scads of Cub Scouts" and has made appearances before "thousands of school kids"

From Staff Reports
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City St. Francis won its first girls basketball district title in a decade with a convincing 59-29 victory over Elk Rapids.
Liza Erickson led the Gladiators (21-2) with 27 points, six rebounds and five steals, while Lauren Buckel added eight points and nine thefts.
"It's been a bit of a dry spell," St. Francis coach Mike Knudsen said.
Paige Granger led the Elks with 14 points.
St. Francis moves on to play Johannesburg-Lewiston (21-1) in McBain in Tuesday's Class C regional opener.
Friday's contest was tight at halftime, with the Elks overcoming an early 22-12 deficit to be within 28-20 at the intermission. Then St. Francis turned on the jets.
Erickson scored eight points in an 18-2 third-quarter spurt to put the Gladiators firmly in control.
"They came out and played great defense in the third and clamped down," Knudsen said.
Johannesburg 53
Lincoln Alcona 42
Abby Schlicher's 22 points carried Johannesburg-Lewiston to a 53-42 Class C district title win over Lincoln Alcona.
The Cardinals trailed by one point entering the fourth quarter.

Pine River 54

The Blazers (18-3) face the Kingsford Flivvers in a regional Tuesday at Cadillac.
"We knew this was possible," Blazers coach Dave Dalton said. "But we didn't have much experience coming back (from last year), and we're short, so to be 18-3, with a conference title and now a district, I couldn't be prouder."
Alexis Hayden added six points and six rebounds for Kalkaska while Taylor Birgy collected seven rebounds.
Kayla Marshall netted 15 for Ogemaw Heights.
Leland 57
Suttons Bay 32
Leland outscored Suttons Bay 22-7 in the second quarter to pull away to a 57-32 Class D district title win over Suttons Bay.
It was the Comets second consecutive district crown.
"After we graduated that class (last year), I thought it might be awhile," Leland coach Megan Munoz said. "But the girls have worked really hard. They're tenacious."
Junior Caitlin McKee led the Comets (10-13) with 15 points and three steals. Freshmen Libby Munoz and Madison Trumbull added 12 and 11 points, respectively. Munoz also contributed five rebounds and four steals.
Delaney Kaufman's eight points paced Suttons Bay.

Forest Area's Elliott to wrestle for state title
Forest Area's Matt Elliott will wrestle for the state championship today after posting a 3-0 mark in the Division 4 125-pound weight class.
He'll face Mio's Zach Mack (44-1) in the title match. Elliott (47-5) won his opening-round match by pin in 3:39 over Hudson's Mason Lopinski, then won by decision over New Lothrup's Gabe Bennett 16-10 and Westland's Zach Francis 8-7 to hand Francis only his second loss of the year.
Manton's Tristan Rosted will wrestle in today's 160-pound consolation semifinals with a berth in the third-place match on the line. He started off with a 10-2 decision over Hillsdale's Kevin Curby and a 9-0 win over top-seeded Tommy Reed of Constantine before a loss to New Lothrup's Taylor Krupp, who wrestles for the state title today.
Rosted will face the winner of Bronson's Dan Ervin and Montabella's Logan Burns, and can place no worse than sixth.
Traverse City St. Francis heavyweight Jake Khoury can place no lower than eighth and has a shot at third.
Khoury faces Montabella's Dan Davidson (43-12). A win there would pit Khoury against St. Louis' Jacob Lonergan with a spot in the third-place match on the line.
Khoury (38-8) pinned Cass City's Austin Baker in five minutes before a close 7-5 loss to top-seeded Tyler Prater of Homer. The St. Francis junior then pinned Ishpeming Westwood's David Lancour in 1:56.
Onaway's Isaac Nave was 1-2 at 103 pounds in Division 4. The freshman finished the season 34-13. Fellow Cardinal Morgan Robins was 0-2 at 140.
St. Francis' Eric Wales was 0-2 at 112 pounds to finish his sophomore season 38-14.
Traverse City St. Francis' Zach Schaub upset 119-pound No. 1-seeded Zac Sharp of Schoolcraft 13-12 in the opening round and finished 1-2 to end up 30-11 for the season.
Matt Mawby posted a 1-2 mark at 130, pinning Quincy's Jacob Massey in 1:30 for his victory. He completes his junior year with a 39-12 mark. Forest Area's Tyler Leffingwell was also 1-2 at 130, earning an 11-4 win over Hudson's Carlos Randall.
Charlevoix's Alex Brown was 0-2 at 171 pounds.
Manistee's Hayden Codden was 1-2 at 152.
Petoskey's Jordan Haggerty won two matches at 215 pounds in Division 2 and awaits the winner of Bay City Western's Jacob Alarie and Lansing Waverly's Cameron Lee for shot at a berth in the third-place match. Haggerty won 9-0 over Lee in the first round and 13-3 over Tecumseh's Preston Pelham.
Gaylord's Tristan Gregory won his first match by pin before losing out to top-seeded Mike Hovater of Chelsea in Division 2's 189-pound class.
The Blue Devils' Trent Hunt is still in the hunt at 152, winning his first-round match 7-0 before a 9-4 swetback to No. 1 seed Fritzel Findeisen of Niles. Hunt rebounded with a 10-5 win over Mason's Sean Houghton and will face Hastings' Kenny Cross next.
Seth Lashuay was 1-2 at 112 for Gaylord.
Benzie Central's York Ash won two consolation bracket matches, and is still in the running for third place. He won 10-0 against Monroe Jefferson's Tyler Foland and then 7-5 over Mason County Central's Trevor Skinner. He'll face Allendale's Luke Jensen next.
Boyne City's Connor Mills was 0-2 at 140 pounds and Elk Rapids' Kaid Brookshire was 0-2 at 140.
In the Division 3 215-pound class, Manistee's Adam Ball won two consolation matches, pinning Whitehall's Hunter Shaw in 2:45 and getting another fall in 2:27 in the next round. He'll match up with Chesaning's Trenton Devereaux next.
Kingsley's Josh Parks was 0-2 at 215, as was Brian Lark at 171.
Grayling's Jon Martin is still alive in the Division 3 103-pound division. He posted an opening-round 2:15 pin before falling to No. 2 seed Kole Krauss. Martin then decisioned Berrien Springs' David Melendez 8-3, and will face Howard City's Tommy Gilbert today.

It is one of the most popular destinations in Braintree.
No, not the South Shore Plaza, Thayer Public Library or one of the town's locally-owned restaurants.
The MBTA garage at Union and Pearl streets, of course. With 1,322 parking spaces and no vacancies by 7 a.m. most weekdays, the garage can be harder to get into than a night club, and may be just as valuable.
A 2012 assessment put the property's worth at more than $22 million, according to records kept by Patriot Properties, which stores data from the Board of Assessors on all real estate in Braintree, along with a number of other towns.
The 6.5-acre site is owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which also owns a number of other properties around Braintree, including land on Quincy Avenue, Allen Street and more parcels on Union Street.
Another MBTA-owned Union Street property (Patriot Properties does not include a specific address) is listed at 15 acres with a value of $2.4 million.
Average weekday availability at the Braintree garage is less than 1 percent, according to the MBTA's statistics. It also feature 30 bike spaces and 22 handicap spaces.
The building itself is worth nearly $6 million, according to Patriot Properties, while the land is valued at $16.2 million. It opened in 1980.

LAKE HALLIE, Wis. (AP) -- Police say a Wisconsin man faces charges after trying to return a printer to a Walmart store that contained a sheet with two photocopied $100 bills.
Lake Hallie Police Chief Cal Smokowicz says police found three more counterfeit $100 bills on the man, who was also wanted on burglary and armed robbery warrants.
The Chippewa Herald reports (http://bit.ly/Y2d5rn ) police were called to the Lake Hallie Walmart on Thursday because the 37-year-old West Bend man tried to return the printer without receipts or proof he bought there. After being told he was under arrest, police say, the man physically resisted officers at the store's service counter.
He was jailed on suspicion of attempted theft by fraud, forgery and resisting arrest. Police are looking for a second man who was with him.

Date of birth: 1 August 1974
Nationality: Portuguese
Coaching career: AD Camacha, GD Chaves, SC Beira-Mar, SC Braga, Olympiacos FC
• Played football at an amateur level during his youth and despite taking a passing interest in handball, it was always Jardim's intention to become a coach. As a result he studied physical education at the University of Madeira, and at 24 became the youngest Portuguese coach to obtain a UEFA A licence.
• Three years later, in 2001, appointed assistant coach at Madeiran club Camacha, where he impressed sufficiently to take charge of first-team duties two years later. Left to join Chaves midway through 2007/08, masterminding rise to the second division 18 months later.
• Also won promotion at Beira-Mar after taking charge in summer 2009 and preserved their top-flight status the following season before stepping down.
• Signed a three-year contract when he succeeded Domingos Paciência at Braga in 2011 but left after only one having guided the club to a third-placed finish, helped by a record-breaking 13 successive league wins at the turn of the year, and into the UEFA Europa League round of 16.
• Confirmed as the new coach of Olympiacos in June 2012, putting pen to paper on a two-year contract, to become the fourth former Braga coach to work in Greece, after Carlos Carvalhal (Asteras Tripolis FC), Jesualdo Ferreira (Panathinaikos FC) and Manuel Machado (Aris Thessaloniki FC).

Removing spam mail with CRM114 and KMail
KTools: Spam Filter
The CRM114 filter program, which is integrated with KMail, helps fight spam in POP3 and IMAP mailboxes. Because this flexible filter does not require server-side changes, it is a good choice for users without root access to their mail servers.
As if the flood of normal spam isn't bad enough, spammers are now aggravating large parts of the literate world with image-based spam and with messages that don't contain any meaningful content at all. This new spam is a challenge for even the most sophisticated of filters. For example, the database in our lab using the Bogofilter program grew to a size of 100 MB. Receiving mail via KMail on an IBM ThinkPad T23, with a Pentium 3 1.13 GHz CPU and 768 MB RAM, became a time-consuming experience. The KMail interface freezes for the most part, as it does not call the spam filter program as a background task as of this writing [1].
It seems unlikely that the developers will find a solution to this issue before the KDE 4 release, since it would mean rewriting major parts of the program. At the same time, much junk mail remains unfiltered due to image spam and messages with meaningless content. One thing is for sure, I needed a more powerful solution.

Just hours after Patriots owner Robert Kraft said they were going to make Logan Mankins a "Patriot for life," the three-time Pro Bowler agreed to a six-year deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported.
Mankins had signed his franchise tender and reported to camp on-time this season, after missing the first seven games in 2010 in a contract dispute. He was also a plaintiff for the players in the Brady antitrust suit during the lockout.
A first-team All Pro last season, despite playing in just nine games, Mankins has started all 89 games he has played in his career.
"Probably, you'll see our good friend Logan Mankins will be signed up soon, hopefully, to be a Patriot for life," Kraft said earlier on Wednesday.
Mankins' franchise tender would have been worth just over $10 million, as a long-term deal helps the Patriots with cap space.
The way we see it
This is a big move for the Patriots for on-field and off-field reasons. Locking down Mankins, one of the best guards in the game, to a long-term deal shows the team's commitment to its second-best offensive player and a locker-room leader. It also shows what Kraft and Mankins have been saying, that there is no bad blood between the two and the goal all along was to keep Mankins in Foxborough. It also is one distraction the Patriots do not have to worry about.

There may be a context for granting in-state tuition rates at public universities to illegal immigrants who were brought here as children by their parents — and Gov. Deval Patrick made that case to the Legislature last year. But he lost.
Now, the governor has done what far too many leaders do. When they can't win in the court of public opinion or in the legislative arena, they enact their rejected policies by fiat.
Earlier this week, Patrick notified the state Board of Education that illegal immigrants who obtain work permits under a new federal program and can prove residence in Massachusetts will qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. Previously, illegal immigrants had to pay the higher out-of-state tuition to attend those schools.
In 2004, the Legislature passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates, but it was vetoed by then-Gov. Mitt Romney. Subsequent attempts to pass such a bill have failed several times, despite Patrick's urging passage at a legislative hearing last year. And polls taken across the state then and now show the idea has yet to win over a clear majority – or any kind of majority — of Massachusetts residents.
Look, supporters of the measure make all the compassionate and compelling arguments they can muster. These immigrants, brought here illegally as children by their parents, had no say in their families' decision to break the law. Making it easier for them to obtain higher education likely will make them more productive citizens, who as such likely will be taxpayers rather than benefits recipients.
But it does not change the fact in many residents' and officials minds that they are here illegally. And our governor, when he cannot get his way through the legislative process, should not take it upon himself to force this kind of rule by decree.
That's not the kind of government that's characteristic of America; it's more like some nations from which these students' immigrant parents fled.
