A Seymour man sentenced to five years in state prison has filed an appeal of that sentence to the Iowa Supreme Court.
Roger Allen McDaniel, 42, on Sept. 12 filed a notice of appeal of the judgment and sentence dated Aug. 13 in Appanoose County.
On Aug. 13 Judge Myron L. Gookin found McDaniel guilty of one count of lascivious acts with a child, a class D felony, and sentenced him to five years in prison, a 10 year special sentence where the defendant is under supervision as if on parole to begin following the prison term and register with the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. McDaniel voluntarily entered a plea of guilty to the lesser class D charge on April 23.
McDaniel was originally accused in Appanoose County of one count of second degree sexual abuse, a class B felony. The offense date for the charge is listed as on or about the year 2010 to the year 2011.
The criminal complaint affidavit filed March 7, 2012 by the Appanoose County Sheriff's office, accuses McDaniel of more than one occasion of hand to skin and mouth to skin contact with the genitals of a minor under the age of 12 at his residence in Wayne County and in Marion County.
Class B felonies have the potential of at least 25 years in prison. Class D felonies are punishable by up to five years in prison.
McDaniel owes $659.16 for this case.

I have thought about it, and I can't come to any conclusions at all,'' says Cobain of Nevermind's phenomenal success. "I don't want to sound egotistical, but I know it's better than a majority of the commercial shit that's been crammed down people's throats for a long time.''
Nevermind embodies a cultural moment; "Smells Like Teen Spirit'' is an anthem for (or is it rather against) "Why Ask Why?'' generation. Just don't call Cobain a spokesman for a generation. "I'm a spokesman for myself,'' he says. "It just so happens that there's a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I'm just as confused as most people. I don't have the answers for anything. I don't want to be a fucking spokesperson.''
"That ambiguity or confusion, that's the whole thing,'' says Nevermind producer Butch Vig. "What the kids are attracted to in the music is that he's not necessarily a spokesman for a generation, but all that's in the music – the passion and [the fact that] he doesn't necessarily know what he wants but he's pissed. It's all these things working at different levels at once. It's not real cut and dried. I don't exactly know what 'Teen Spirit' means, but you know it means something and it's intense as hell.''
Cobain agrees the message isn't necessarily in the words. "Most of the music is really personal as far as the emotion and the experiences that I've had in my life,'' he says, dragging on a cigarette, "but most of the themes in the songs aren't that personal. They're more just stories from television or books or movies or friends, more so than mine. But definitely the emotion and feeling is from me.
"Most of the concentration of my singing is from my upper abdomen, that's where I scream, that's where I feel, that's where everything comes out of me – right here,'' he continues, touching a point just below his breastbone. It just happens to be exactly where his stomach pain is centered.
When Nevermind hit number one, Cobain was "kind of excited,'' he says. "I wouldn't admit that at the time. I just hope that it doesn't end with us. I hope there are other bands that can keep it going.''
Although Cobain is thrilled when underground bands infiltrate the mainstream charts, he's outraged by others who are riding the coattails of the alternative boom. His favorite target is Pearl Jam, also from Seattle, which he accused of "corporate, alternative and cock-rock fusion'' in a recent Musician magazine interview. "Every article I see written about them, they mention us, and they're baiting that fact,'' says Cobain, sitting up cross-legged on the bed. "I would love to be erased from my association with that band and other corporate bands like the Nymphs and a few other felons. I do feel a duty to warn the kids of false music that's claiming to be underground or alternative. They're jumping on the alternative bandwagon.
"I don't know what I did to him; if he has a personal vendetta against us, he should come to us,'' says Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament, who says Cobain barely even said hello when they did a recent minitour together. "To have that sort of pent-up frustration, the guy obviously must have some really deep insecurities about himself. Does he think we're riding his bandwagon? We could turn around and say that Nirvana put out records on money we made for Sub Pop when we were in Green River – if we were that stupid about it.''
Cobain is happier to reel off a list of some of the bands he does like: the Breeders, the Pixies, R.E.M., Jesus Lizard, Urge Overkill, Beat Happening, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and Flipper. Then there's his beloved Captain America, a ramshackle pop group from Scotland. "Eugene and Frances Kelly are the Lennon and McCartney of the underworld – or the Captain and Tennille,'' says Cobain.
For the members of Nirvana, plugging fellow underground musicians is one of the few consolations for the pressures of fame. When the band played Seattle's Paramount Theater for its big homecoming show last Halloween, its opener was Bikini Kill, a confrontational female-led band from nearby Olympia that came out in lingerie with SLUT written across their stomachs. Novoselic is toying with the idea of a "punk-rock MTV'' featuring underground bands.
Helping out fellow alternative types strengthens the community that made Nirvana's own success possible. "It's a question of inclusion,'' explains Sub Pop co-owner Jonathan Poneman, "it's a question of being able to be included. Egalitarian revolution – that's what makes them a punk-rock band.''
It's fitting that Nirvana bumped Michael Jackson off the Number One spot on the pop charts. Besides a fondness for small children and animals, Cobain and Jackson have little in common – Jackson claims it doesn't matter if you're black or white, but when Cobain hears such saccharine platitudes, he screams. Jackson's music is Eighties-style ear candy, while Nirvana makes grass-roots music for the Nineties. There's no glamour in Nirvana, no glamour at all, in fact.
Novoselic and Cobain come from rural Aberdeen, Washington, a hundred miles southwest of Seattle, where Novoselic's mom runs Maria's Hair Design. A depressed logging town, Aberdeen has seen better days – namely, during the whaling era in the mid-nineteenth century, when the town served as one big brothel for visiting sailors, a fact that Novoselic has said makes residents "a little ashamed of our roots.'' Pervasive unemployment and a perpetually rainy, gray climate have led to rampant alcoholism and a suicide rate more than twice the already high state average. The local pawnshop is full of guns, chain saws and guitars.
One of the more popular bars in town is actually called the Pourhouse, which is where two young men about Cobain's age, Joe and James, sit down for a pitcher of beer – each. Joe is out of work because his leg is broken. "I tried to fly off a house,'' he explains.
"Yeah, I know the Cobain kid,'' says James. "Faggot.''
"He's a faggot?'' asks Joe, taken aback. Recovering quickly, he declares: "We deal with faggots here. We run 'em out of town.''
This is where Cobain and Novoselic grew up. That's why they kissed each other full on the lips as the Saturday Night Live credits rolled. They knew it would piss off the folks back home – and everybody like them.
"I definitely have a problem with the average macho man – the strong-oxen working-class type,'' Cobain says wearily, "because they have always been a threat to me. I've had to deal with them most of my life – being taunted and beaten up by them in school, just having to be around them and be expected to be that kind of person when you grow up.
"I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be,'' Cobain continues. "Just watch a beer commercial and you'll see what I mean.''
Of course, Cobain was miserable in high school. Surrounded by hard-drinking metalheads whose only prospects were unemployment or risking life and limb hacking down beautiful centuries-old trees, Cobain was a sensitive sort, small for his age and uninterested in sports. "He was terrified of jocks and moron dudes,'' recalls Cobain's old friend Mudhoney bassist Matt Lukin.
"As I got older,'' says Cobain, a fan of Beckett's, Burroughs's and Bukowski's, "I felt more and more alienated – I couldn't find friends whom I felt compatible with at all. Everyone was eventually going to become a logger, and I knew I wanted to do something different. I wanted to be some kind of artist.''
"If he would have been anywhere else,'' says his mother, Wendy O'Connor, "he would have been fine – there would have been enough of his kind not to stick out so much. But this town is just exactly like Peyton Place. Everybody is watching everyone and judging, and they have their little slots they like everyone to stay in – and he didn't.''
A friend of Cobain's half-joked that Nevermind sold to every abused child in the country, and maybe that's not far from the truth – the divorce rate soared to nearly fifty percent in the mid-Seventies, and all those children of broken homes are becoming adults. Including Kurt Cobain.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg — While we were having lunch together in August Julie Hanmer asked if I'd seen what had been done at the football field at the Greensburg Community High School. I hadn't so she took me there to see it close up. There was a beautiful sign that spelled out "Shriver Field." Wow! What an uplifting moment. There were some students there and Julie asked them, "Do you know why the name Shriver is up there?" They did not. This is to tell them, and anyone else who doesn't know, what the name Shriver means to many people in this community where the family lived.
Some will remember that the old football field (dedicated Friday, Sept. 24, 1949) was named Shriver Field. At that time it was the new and modern home of the Greensburg Pirates football teams. The name was to honor two brothers, World War II veterans Paul S. and Jack G. Shriver. Both were killed during that war - just nine months apart. Their parents, John T. and Ruth Sanders Shriver, had the two sons and four daughters. One daughter, Helen, died as a baby, Argel, Dorothy and Virginia who married Gilman Stewart. Virginia also served during World War II in the U.S. Marine Corps, W. R.
Paul Sanders "Petie" Shriver was killed off the coast of Australia the day after Christmas in 1942. A tail gunner on a B-24 Liberator Bomber, he was 29 years old. He was a 1932 graduate of Greensburg High School. Although he was killed on December 26, 1942 his family in Greensburg got only rumors that he had been killed in an air battle somewhere in the South Pacific. The first notice was a letter that had been addressed to him and was returned with a notation "Killed in action." Still people didn't believe until it was verified by the government Feb. 1, 1943. His last word to his family was a Christmas cablegram stating that he was well and getting along fine. The cablegram didn't arrive in Greensburg until January 9, 1943. Before being inducted into military service March 31, 1942, Petie served as director of the physical department of the Greensburg Y.M.C.A.
His younger brother Jack Graham Shriver was on duty at Hawaii when Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7, 1941. He was on duty when the enemy fleet was turned back at Midway. He was sent to Guadalcanal, a campaign of three months duration. He was in 16 battles including Midway, Wake Island, the Solomon Islands and Guadalcanal. He had more than 750 hours of combat service. On one flight his place was forced down in the jungle infested with the enemy. Several crew members were killed before they were rescued. He was ordered back to the United States to help train other pilots; give advice to pilots going into battle and to help him recover in a cooler climate from malaria which he had contracted in the tropics.
Jack was killed Sept. 23, 1943 in a plane crash at Pratt, Kansas. Rod Dyerly was in a 7th grade English class, located on the third floor in Liberty Junior High in Pratt that day. Sixty years later, in 2003, Rod Dyerly wrote the following, "Suddenly there was a deafening roar, causing the windows to rattle and the whole room to vibrate. It reminded me of a freight train rumbling through. Because it happened so fast and everyone was so startled, there was a moment of silence before anyone said anything."
Today we know that Jack Shriver was the pilot and that he had thought for some time that the B-29 was not safe. We know that he desperately fought to keep the B-29 flying until it reached the southwest edge of Pratt. The students in Liberty Jr. High wouldn't know until much later that he had saved them from probable death or serious injury.
It was the opinion of other pilots that Lieut. Shriver had exercised unusual flying skill in being able to keep the heavy bomber flying with one engine as long as he did. The plane was flying too low for the three men on board to use parachutes but by expert piloting, they saved the town of Pratt and saved many lives.
In 2003 Dyerly came to Greensburg to make sure that others knew the story. Jack's widow Holly also came to help tell the story of Jack and what he did on that day in September 1943. Their son, Jack Jr. was born after his father's death.
It would be great if every student at GCHS could know about the Shriver brothers and what they did for all of us.

While he looms as a self-described long shot, veteran television newsman Martin Staunton is off and running for the U.S. Senate, hoping to fill the seat vacated next year by Jay Rockefeller.
Staunton, running without any political affiliation, has become only the second candidate so far to pay a filing fee and put his hat in the ring.
The other candidate to file is Scott "Cody" Regan, a Republican living in the Cabell County town of Salt Rock.
Rockefeller, who served two terms as West Virginia's governor before his election to the Senate in 1984, has announced his intentions to retire at the end of 2014.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., a seven-term member of the House in the state's 2nd District, got into the Senate race early, announcing her plans before Rockefeller indicated he would step down.
"I am not a politician," Staunton said Friday. "I am going to be a statesman. And while there are things about both parties I like, I will not toe any party line. It is about the people, not the political party."
Staunton moved to Oak Hill at age 13 from his native Niagara, N.Y., and launched a career in acting after attending West Virginia University, but returned to his adopted state and completed his college studies.
For decades, he was a reporter/news anchor at television stations in Beckley and Charleston, building a large following that has carried over to the social medium Facebook. His posts always trigger instant and vast responses.
Staunton plans to conduct a news conference about his candidacy Wednesday at the state Capitol.
Asked about issues that concern him, Staunton mentioned one that is of a personal nature — health care.
A few months ago, his wife died, and Staunton himself never succumbed to complications attributed to diabetes.
"The issue that changed my life is health care," he told The Register-Herald.
"In eight months, I nearly died, was released from my (television) contract, and then prevented from working in my profession for a year, and then my wife of 25 years died an uninsured American."
Staunton said health care costs are "a big part of my platform as I have had to navigate the system as a person with insurance and without."
"And I'm telling you, it is a nightmare," he said.
"Help is needed and the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act needs some fixing. Jobs are another part of the platform I am putting together."
Staunton remains unemployed, but added, "I know I can do this job and do great things for the people of West Virginia.
"My goal is to bring the voice of the common people back into Congress with the salt of the earth common sense that seems to be sorely missing in Washington," the Beckley resident said.
As for his chances, Staunton added, "I know I am a long shot, but I really think I can win and I know I can do a better job than Shelley."

The Independent
Kentucky Kicks Ass.
That's the slogan a pair of grassroots marketing guys are pushing to replace the state's "Unbridled Spirit" motto.
I would agree. Kentucky does kick butt. I'm a born Buckeye, but the Bluegrass is best.
My husband, a native Kentuckian, also likes the new slogan. But he'd add "copious amounts of a--."
The new slogan is edgy and fresh. And it is spreading like wildfire across the state. T-shirts, prints and maps with the slogan, all made by small Kentucky businesses, are flying off the shelf. I had to purchase a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Kick Ass Kentuckian" for my husband. Because? Well, I think he is one!
The line was created by professional advertisers Whit Hiler and Griffin VanMeter, who also founded the group Kentucky For Kentucky. It operates a website, www.KentuckyforKentucky, and Facebook page promoting the state its residents and its other contributions to the world.
Oh, where do you start? With Daniel Boone?
Originally the pair had hoped to raise enough money to buy a Super Bowl ad to spread the message about our Commonwealth far and wide, but their efforts fell significantly short. Instead, they turned to social media to do the trick, launching an online video late in December
"Tell everyone you know — Kentucky kicks ass!" the pair crone at the end of their roughly five-minute video. I'm telling you now and lots of other people are doing the same.
As of Thursday evening, Kentucky For Kentucky has 11,908 likes on Facebook, including my own. The campaign is also garnering national and international media attention.
Just last week, Conan O'Brien mentioned it on his show, albeit poking fun at us at the same time. He said it replaces the state's old slogan: At least we aren't Alabama.
On Wednesday, the BBC published an article exploring how the phrase "kick ass" made it into popular vernacular and why it's so American. You can thank the military, sports coaches and, most recently, President George W. Bush and President Obama.
NPR and USA Today have also published articles about the slogan, which has made appearances on countless other blogs and email listserves. I've seen at least two dozen.
The suggestion of rebranding Kentucky hasn't gone over well though with the state tourism folks. After the state spent $500,000 on the "Unbridled Spirit" motto in 2004, I can see why they are attached to it.
Gov. Steve Beshear called it "fun" and applauded the pair for their "innovation" and for attracting a lot of attention to the state but he hasn't moved to make it official.
That's a swift kick in the, uh, pants for the campaign that claims it only wants to increase tourism, foster pride, attract new business, diminish stereotypes, unify the state and distinguish Kentucky from any other place on the planet.
If the state isn't up to the task, regular folks can take it on with that unbridled spirit.

The Twins farm system is ranked highly, and for good reason. For the first time in recent memory, we have a number of very high ceiling prospects at AA (Sano, Meyers, Rosario, May) and high A (Buxton). The ones at low-A (Kepler, Goodrum, Walker, Boyd, etc) in past years would have made us proud. How do they really look in comparison to the press, and in comparison to the more notable others on this list? After seeings some Kernels games, the punchline: major leaguers are hard to come by, but
What do we really have, and how close are they really?
Isn't that the real question we always ask? After reading BA and Sickels and Law, you want to see "how do these guys compare with the hype?" This year, I decided to travel a little bit and see some these guys for myself. Here are some quick observations based on seeing multiple games. The quick punchline -- the future is bright, but we're not there yet.
The Good
Okay, he really is a man-child.

Anyone who dismisses television viewing as a passive activity clearly hasn't watched "Game of Thrones." HBO's crown jewel requires the sort of OCD focus and possibly the same picture-plastered, color-coded white board that Carrie Mathison used to track down Abu Nazir in Showtime's "Homeland."
As with the George R.R. Martin series from whence it sprung, "Game of Thrones" has redefined "sprawling epic." And as Season 3 opens, the sprawl factor is perilously high, with the multitudinous characters — seven families, people, from seven kingdoms — scattered all over Westeros, their story lines progressing in an ever-climbing wall of overlapping layers, a citadel of narrative.

The elevator goes up at an speed of 9 meters per second. View of the Huangpu River from the 88th floor is fantastic. Not as high as the 100-floor convention center on the opposite, but the queue is much shorter. Suggest you watch the night view, then go to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower to see the Huangpu River.

This soon-to-be-the-second-highest-building-in-Shanghai is a nice (and expensive) place to spend your evenings. There are several bars, among which the most popular one is Cloud Nine on the top (88th) floor. I you don't have a reservation it might be difficult to get in though, so if you can settle for a lower altitude there is a nice piano bar on the 53 floor as well. I is located a bit off in Pudong, but the view over Shanghai is spectacular.

By Adam Ghassemi
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Arkansas investigators found Mindy McCready Sunday afternoon with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Many in Nashville who knew her reacted to the news of her death.
In the mid-1990s, McCready was a young woman making a big name for herself on Music Row. That's how former NewsChannel 5 Entertainment Reporter Harry Chapman remembers her.
"She was such a big star when she came to town," Chapman said Monday. "Mindy had, she had the world by the tail and you thought, 'The sky's the limit for her.'"
After a few years, McCready became better known for a life of drugs, rehab and custody battles.
Eight years ago Billy McKnight, the father of her oldest son, faced charges for trying to kill her. In 2008, she made headlines for a rumored affair with baseball legend Roger Clemens when McCready was just a teenager.
In recent years, she tried committing suicide multiple times.
"I was never in a state in which I was conscious and with it and said oh I want to die," she told CBS This Morning in 2010.
Sunday afternoon, authorities found McCready on the porch of her Arkansas home with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. It was the same place where police believe her boyfriend, David Wilson killed himself roughly a month ago. Wilson was also the father of her ten-month-old son.
"Eerie I think is a word that comes to mind. I think it obviously speaks on the pain that she was feeling," said country music reporter and blogger Shane Tallant.
After years of troubles, it appeared the stresses of life made the 37-year-old choose to take her own life.
"She just couldn't dig out of it. Some people can dig out of it. I don't think she could dig out the hole that was hers – and I think in the end she probably thought, what's left?" Chapman said.
On Monday, McKnight told the Associated Press McCready threatened to kill herself earlier this month after Wilson's death and losing custody of her two sons. He said she somehow checked herself out of rehab after just 18 hours.
McCready was once engaged to actor Dean Cain who played Superman on television in 1990s.
The news hit country music's biggest stars hard as well.
Carrie Underwood tweeted, "I grew up listening to Mindy McCready.. so sad for her family tonight. Many prayers are going out to them..."
Wynonna Judd tweeted, "Oh my! Mindy. Dear sweet girl. This is so sad. It just breaks my heart what addiction continues to take from this life."

The Volunteer Center is about service. Perhaps when you were in school your teacher asked what you wanted to be when you grew up. Maybe you said a firefighter, a police officer, an athlete, a doctor, an astronaut, a teacher... or even a president. These are people whose actions make them heroes, and thats why children want to be them. But you dont have to walk into a burning building or wear a badge to rescue someone. You dont have to score a touchdown to win points with someone. You dont have to go to medical school to help a person feel better.

Phar Lap is Melbourne Museum's most popular object.
From his amazing run of racetrack wins during the 1930s Depression to his sudden death in the USA, the Phar Lap story gripped the Australian imagination.
Included with museum entry.
MV Members receive FREE museum entry.
Melbourne Museum's Phar Lap website has a considerable amount of information on Phar Lap. The Facts page tells us that Phar Lap was foaled (born) at Timaru, New Zealand, on 4 October 1926. This would make him 85 years old today. He died in 1932, 70 years ago and his hide was mounted and is on display at Melbourne Museum, his skeleton is at the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, and his heart is at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
Dear Horse Chick,
Thank you for your enquiry about what type of horse Phar Lap was, Phar Lap was a thoroughbred horse. Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers to the Thoroughbred breed.
His Sydney trainer Harry Telford was a keen student of thoroughbred bloodlines and spent countless hours poring over pedigree charts. He believed he had found a future champion in a colt that was shortly due to sell in New Zealand. Sired by Night Raid and foaled out of Entreaty.
Please see this link to find out more information about Phar Lap.
Phar Lap is still one of the most popular exhibits at the Museum, and many visitors make him their first stop.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Officials from two nonprofit spay and neuter clinics serving Alabama are refuting a claim by the head of the Alabama State Veterinary Medical Examiners Board that the low-cost clinics do not pay taxes like private veterinarians.
Dr. Robert Pitman of Athens, president of the ASVME board, recently told The News Courier that — unlike private veterinarians — the state's four low-cost, nonprofit, spay and neuter clinics do not have to pay taxes that help communities do things like repair roads and fund schools.
Jane Jattuso, treasurer for the North Alabama Spay and Neuter Clinic in Huntsville, and Mark Nelson, executive director of the Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic in Irondale, say Pitman's remarks are simply not true. They say his comments are aimed at convincing residents and veterinarians that these clinics are unneeded, unsafe and pose an unfair advantage over private veterinarians.
Pitman and the ASVME board recently proposed two rule changes that could effectively shut down the clinics. The proposed rules:
• To prevent nonveterinarians from hiring or supervising veterinarians;
• To prevent nonvets — including nonprofit groups — from owning veterinary equipment.
The state's four low-cost spay and neuter clinics are independently owned by four separate nonprofit groups.
Clinic officials — as well as thousands of residents across Alabama in the past few weeks — have signed petitions opposing the rule changes. Some of them plan to attend a public hearing on the proposed rules at 9 a.m. Wednesday at 8 Commerce St., Suite 910, in Montgomery. If the board adopts the rule, opponents can request review by a legislative council, Jattuso said. That council could decide to approve, reject or alter the proposed rule. The rule would not go into effect until it went before the legislative body, she said.
Nelson said he fears the 100,000 to 200,000 animals put to death each year in the state "are getting lost in all of this."
Alabama and Mississippi have the highest kill rates in the nation due to their burgeoning pet overpopulation.
In Limestone County and Athens some 2,628 cats and dogs were humanely killed in fiscal 2011. Pitman is paid $281,000 a year by the city of Athens and Limestone County to treat, find homes, or humanely kill these unwanted animals.
The North Alabama clinic, together with the three other clinics in the state, have performed nearly 100,000 spay or neuter surgeries.
Fewer unwanted animals saves cities and counties the cost of having to dispose of them.
Jattuso, who volunteers for the North Alabama clinic, said Pitman is trying to suggest publicly and through his position on the board that the nonprofit clinics receive an unfair advantage over private vets.
"The only difference the low-cost spay and neuter clinics have is that we do not pay income tax," Jattuso said. "That's because we don't have an income in the sense of a profit. That is not our purpose. For him (Pitman) to say we have all these advantages is ludicrous."
She revealed the amounts of some of the taxes the North Alabama clinic has paid so far this year, including:
• $15,509 in federal payroll taxes;
• $2,290 in state payroll taxes;
• $2252 in unemployment taxes;
• Undetermined amount of sales tax and use taxes.
Although she did not have the sales and use tax amounts Monday, she said people are welcome to ask for the tax figures or look at the clinic's books and see what taxes it pays."
In the case of the Irondale clinic, Nelson said it collects and remits to the state 10 percent sales tax on anything sold, such as flea medicine. He said the clinic pays 10 percent use tax on items the clinic buys but does not sell, such as veterinary supplies. He said the clinic also pays federal payroll tax, state payroll tax and unemployment tax. The owners of the building pay property tax, he said.
Pitman has questioned the need for the clinics. He previously told The News Courier that most private veterinarians already offer the same low-cost spay and neutering services for low-income residents. However, the low-cost clinics serve not only those with low-incomes but also anyone who wants to use them.
Jattuso said the clinics are not full-service vets as Pitman contends because the service they offer is "one and done."
Pet owners can obtain low-cost spaying and neutering at a cost of $35 to $65, as well as immunizations and flea medicine. However, they can only obtain these on the day of surgery. They can't come back for flea medicine a month later or immunizations a year later.
"They can get it the day of the service but they can't come back," Jattuso said.
"If they want to come back in a year and get their pet immunized, we won't do it," Nelson said.
Quality of care
Pitman has also said there is a quality of care issue with the clinics, though he has not yet released details of those issues.
Nelson, whose clinic "did really well" in its surprise inspection by the board last October — said quality care has never been a problem and that if it had been, the board would have taken action.
Nelson said board, which was appointed by the Alabama Legislature to ensure quality care and safety, is simply trying to close the clinics because he believes they compete with private vets.

A petition by medical marijuana advocates aimed at repealing the Los Angeles City Council's ban on marijuana storefronts has enough signatures to force a referendum on the ordinance, the City Clerk announced Monday.
The City Council now has the option of either repealing the ban, calling a special election within the next 110 to 140 days or putting the issue on the March 5 city election ballot.
The ban had been scheduled to take effect Sept. 6, but it was put on hold when the group of activists submitted about 50,000 petition signatures to the City Clerk's Office in hopes of forcing a vote on the issue.
Los Angeles City Clerk June Lagmay said in a statement that a random statistical sampling by her office found that 49,021 signatures were valid, well above the required 27,425.
According to the clerk's office, the City Council is expected to consider its next move sometime before Oct. 7.
The "gentle ban," crafted by Councilman José Huizar and supported by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck and City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, called for the closure of all medical marijuana storefronts in light of public complaints, as well as the lack of guidance by the state and the courts about how to regulate them. The ban still allowed patients to grow their own marijuana in groups of three or less individuals, as mandated by state law.
After the petition signatures were submitted, the city attorney's office posted a notice online indicating that it would not enforce the city's ban, but it also warned that "the business of medical marijuana continues to be an unpermitted land use in the city.''

The Commerce Journal
It's obvious to anyone who walks through their doors that the Kilted Monkey, located on Live Oak Street, is unique to Commerce. A pub-style restaurant with 11 craft beers on tap and 25-30 in the bottle, the Kilted Monkey offers traditional pub fair, like fish and chips, along with burgers, sandwiches and steaks.
"We're the only restaurant in Commerce that offers fresh oysters on the half-shell," co-owner Joanna Izzarelli said.
The Kilted Monkey replaced Izzy's Cakes, also owned by Izzarelli. After three years of operating the restaurant, Izzarelli and her co-owner Rusty Massey decided to shut down Izzy's and remodel, which took two and a half months.
"Pubs are doing well in the larger cities, and with the college being here, we thought we would tap into that market." Massey said.
While the restaurant does embrace the pub theme, the Kilted Monkey is not just for college students.
"It has a family atmosphere," Izzarelli said. "Families can bring their children."
While the restaurant had a soft-opening, the response from the community has been good according to Izzarelli.
"The response has been fabulous so far," she said. "There aren't a lot of other healthy options in Commerce for eating. Pub food isn't necessarily healthy, but there are healthy options on the menu."
The Kilted Monkey also serves some of the salads and sandwiches Izzy's customers are used to, and some of the soups will be on the menu soon.
The restaurant features a bar, three televisions and a dart board. An outside patio area should also get a T.V. in the near future. The Kilted Monkey is open Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to midnight, and Saturday from 11 am. to 1 a.m. For more information, find them on Facebook or call 903-886-4800.

These are lovey, thermal blackout drapes, much lighter in weight than older-style blackout drapes with white rubber backing. The fabric in these drapes has a 'silky' feel and appearance, much like polished cotton. The color is a very neural light beige, lending itself more to a cream tone with no pink or grey cast to it. They would compliment a room in which most any shade of brown, gold, rust or orange are the primary color s. I am very pleased with the quality of both the fabric and the wokmanship in these drapes. The hem is topstiched, which makes these drapes more appropriate for a den or family room, so I wouldn't recommend them for use in a formal livingroom, but they are very nice, sturdy drapes, stitched in clear nylon, so I anticipate they will hold up well for years. I am going to order several more sets in different shades for other rooms I am redocarating.
this is the third time I've purchased this particular drape. I't's heavy, hangs well , and block the sunlight. Very effective at keeping out heat and cold. I would purchase it again and I would recommend it to others.
The blackout curtain does a good job blocking out the light, however the fabric color and material was not as expected. It hung straight with little "texture" and eye appeal.
I had the hardest time finding extra wide curtains, and it definitely was worth it. The curtains look great! They provide absolute blackout, to the point that I am leaving a crack when drawing them to ensure I do not bump into furniture at night. The color is soothing; it does not over overwhelm the room, though they cover the entire wall. The only drawback I see is that curtains still show creases after hanging for two weeks. It was recommended by the manufacturer to take them through a drying cycle with a damp cloth, and I did just that, with no result. It does not look ugly, but it is noticeable.
been looking for a thermal wide curtain for a 144 wide window. 2 panels did the job! very pleased with quality of product
Drapes for deck door are a perfect color, wonderful weight, great price and exactly what I was looking for.
These are great quality curtains. They do awesome blocking the light. The grommets to hang them on the rod are large and well made. These curtains are fabulous and so inexpensive. We highly recommend them.
They said blackout and they meant it! Burgundy is what I choose, and they are absolutely beautiful. Toss them in the dryer to get the fold marks out as they said, it they look wonderful from day one..
These drapes are a winner all around. They're well made, the color is rich and yet neutral, they hang beautifully and they block light completely. The grommets are just the right size and provide a nice decorator detail. I paired these with sheers on a double rod. The finished look belies the price tag. Great buy!
Excellent quality. I was really surprised at what I got for the price, so much better then anywhere else. I bought these for both bedrooms, sleeping now with the light blocked out is fabulous, not to mention the fact that it keeps the cool out and warmth and in during the winter and keeps the cool in during the summer. Great purchase. The fabric is beautiful!

The Great Debate (India)
Hiroshima Day: bleak prospects for disarmament
(C. Uday Bhaskar is a New Delhi-based strategic analyst. The views expressed in this column are his own)
Yet another Hiroshima Day will be observed on August 6 with grave solemnity in Japan but few other parts of the world will mark the mushroom day of August 6, 1945 with the deep concern it ought to receive.
Sixty-four years after the apocalyptic destructive potential of the atomic bomb was recognized, it may be posited that the global community is less secure apropos the nuclear domain with every passing day.
While Myanmar is now perceived to be the latest potential member of the nuclear weapon 'club', the overlap between state and non-state entities who are contributing to covert nuclear proliferation remains as opaque as it has been for well over three decades.

The Danville duel will happen next weekend.
Monte Vista High moved into the North Coast Section Division I semifinals with a 28-12 victory Saturday night over San Leandro High.
The Mustangs will meet their cross-town rival, San Ramon Valley High, at 7 p.m. next Saturday at Monte Vista. The winner will likely play De La Salle High in the championship game the following week.
Monte Vista defeated the Wolves, 34-33, in the final regular season game two weeks ago.
On Saturday night, the sixth seeded Mustangs held the lead most of the game over the third seeded Pirates.
Monte Vista led 7-6 at half. They scored two third quarter touchdowns to widen their margin to 21-6.
However, San Leandro crossed the goal line in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 21-12 before Monte Vista put the game away with touchdown with less than a minute to play.
Monte Vista is now 8-4. They defeated Heritage High, 42-36, last week to reach the second round.
San Leandro finishes their season with a 6-5 record.

A Johnstown man was ordered to stand trial on charges that he threatened to shoot three women and two children with a handgun.
Davon Marquis Joiner, 25, of the Oakhurst Homes, was ordered held for court Wednesday following a preliminary hearing before District Judge Leonard Grecek of Roxbury.
Joiner was charged with five counts each of aggravated assault, terroristic threats and reckless endangerment. He also was charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of children and one count of illegal possession of a firearm.
City police said Joiner spent Dec. 28 with his girlfriend at a home in the 300 block of McMillen Street.
When he awoke the next morning, Joiner pulled a handgun and accused someone of stealing his money, a witness said at the hearing.
"He said he was going to shoot everyone in the house if he didn't get his money," Heather Hamer testified.
Hamer and another witness said Joiner never pointed the gun directly at anyone.
That brought a response from defense attorney Michael Filia, who asked Grecek to dismiss the aggravated assault charges.
Assistant District Attorney Joseph Green argued that the charges should remain because Joiner did threaten to shoot the occupants.
Police said they recovered a Jennings Model 9 handgun stashed beneath a mattress in the home. The gun was loaded with one round in the chamber and several rounds in the magazine, Officer Erin Kabler testified.
Joiner was returned to the Cambria County Prison, where he is being held on $75,000 percentage bond.

Involved in the pursuit of a suspect accused of a domestic violence act in Greenbrier County earlier Monday, police officers converged on a car driven by Jimmy L. Hamlin Jr., 44, of Kathleen, Ga. late in the afternoon in Lewisburg.
Hamlin pulled off the Lewisburg exit of I-64 at about 4:30 p.m. and traveled a short way south before two officers from the Lewisburg Police Department - in separate vehicles, closed in on him.
Hamlin pulled off the side of the road on 219, near the Shoney's and Ruby Tuesday's restaurants - during a time of heavy traffic in the area.
Upon approaching the vehicle, the officers reportedly saw Hamlin had a rifle in his possession. He failed to comply with their directives, according to the police report.
"He made a threatening gesture with the rifle, so unfortunately, the officers there at the immediate scene had to respond to the immediate threat," said 1st Sergeant Michael Baylous of the West Virginia State Police during a press conference in Beckley Tuesday.
"As a result of that, Mr. Hamlin died from the gunshot wounds," Baylous, the WVSP Public Information Officer added. "The officers were confronted with (the suspect) presenting a rifle in a way that was a danger to the officer's safety and the public as well. They had to respond in the best way they knew how to."
Hamlin sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Greenbrier Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Members of the West Virginia State Police, which also responded to the call along with Greenbrier County Sheriff's Department, are in charge of the ongoing investigation.
Lewisburg Police Chief Tim Stover was on the scene.
"Traffic was stopped in both directions," Stover said. "The time of day was very critical in this."
The site of the domestic dispute that prompted the initial call to 911 has not been identified yet.
"I think it was in the west end of the county," Stover said.
"Two officers made the stop in two separate vehicles," he added. "There was some assistance from the sheriff's department and the West Virginia State Police. It came together real quick and safely for our officers, in terms of manpower and the ability to contain the scene."
Much is unknown about Hamlin, a Georgia native, at this time.
"He was dating a lady from the area," Stover said. "We don't know much more from that.
"911 had received a call that he had been involved with a domestic situation and that he was intoxicated," Baylous explained. "That's why the officers were looking for his vehicle."
Officers involved were placed on leave, per protocol.
"There was more than one officer that fired and responded," Baylous explained. "It's normal to put them on paid administrative leave, to allow them some time to deal with this. As you can imagine, anytime you have a critical incident, it's very stressful and very emotional. So we allow them to have that time off to deal with a situation like this. Everybody is different and deals with things differently, so I can't give you an idea of when they'll return to work. We'll provide them with any resources they need to deal with this issue.
"Each and every one of our law enforcement officers, no matter what shift they're working, when they put on their uniform and go out to serve and protect the public - this is the furthest thing from our mind that we want to occur," Baylous added. "We don't want to have to deal with a situation like this. This could be a possible 'suicide by cop' and you don't want to have to take anyone's life. But we train our officers to be prepared for any situation. Hopefully they react when faced with a critical incident by relying on their training and experience. That's exactly what they did here."

At this time of the year if you have a hearing loss there is so much that you could be missing.
Did you know that when you see the Salvation Army bell ringers, their bells ring very loudly? Do you answer them when they thank you for your contribution? If you didn't you've missed these sounds of the season.
Can you hear the wind howling in the night when a blizzard is going on outside? Can you hear the sound of the snow plows moving down the street? Can you hear the noise the plow makes when it is backing up? If you can't, you've missed the sounds of the season.
Did you miss the silly chatter of your kids and grandkids gathered in your living room as they play with their new toys? Do you answer them when they say thanks and give you a big hug? If you don't, you've missed sounds of the season.
Did you finish your holiday meal and sit quietly because you couldn't understand what your family was saying? Does your response match the conversation? If not you've missed sounds of the season.
Did you go to a Christmas Concert with music like this or a sing- a-long and missed portions of the program because you couldn't hear? Did you ask what the master of ceremonies said? If so you've missed sounds of the season.
Did you go to your place of worship and not hear or understand the sermon or announcements? Did you need to ask someone what hymn will be next? If you can't hear in the church service you've missed sounds of the season.
Did you gather with friends in a local restaurant and not distinguish conversation from the background noise? Did you realize that you called someone by the wrong name because you couldn't distinguish what was being said? If so you've missed sounds of the season.
Did you hear the crackling of the fire in the fireplace? Did you miss the whistle of the teakettle heating the water for a cup of hot chocolate? Do you hear the furnace kick-in? If you didn't, then you've missed the sounds of season.
Could you hear the carolers when they stopped by to bring you some cheer? Could you hear the choir sing the Handel's Messiah? If you couldn't, than you have missed the sounds of the season.
So how many sounds of the season did you miss? Isn't it a shame how much wonderful Christmas experience you're not a part of if you can't hear properly? How about giving yourself a great gift this Christmas; the gift of hearing. You could be hearing much better before then. A new pair of hearing instruments coupled with an excellent service plan is truly a gift that keeps on giving to everyone.

Goodness knows everyone wants to help. Take the thousands of people who swept up more than 400,000 pounds of human hair and animal fur (dogs, cats, even alpacas) to stuff inside what are essentially gigantic panty hose in an effort to soak up the oozing oil. (Unfortunately, engineers have said that's not going to help much.) But where, when and how, will this gusher be stopped, and how can the damage be blunted? Pretty much everyone's on the case.
