Former Olive Hill Mayor Danny Sparks pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of marijuana trafficking and having an open alcohol container in a motor vehicle.
Sparks made his first court appearance since his Nov. 28 arrest before Carter District Judge Rupert Wilhoit.
In a hearing lasting only a minute or so, Sparks' attorney, Robin Webb, waived formal arraignment and entered the pleas on her client's behalf.
When Wilhoit started to schedule a date for a preliminary hearing, Webb said it was client's wish to waive that proceeding. Wilhoit then said the case would be bound over to a grand jury.
Sparks entered the courtroom with Webb just before the hearing began and left immediately after it was over. He didn't speak during the hearing and didn't make eye contact with anyone seated in the courtroom gallery as he was entering and leaving.
Sparks is charged with trafficking in marijuana within 1,000 yards of a school, which is a Class D felony punishable by a prison term of one to five years. The open-container charge is a misdemeanor.
Sparks was arrested after he allegedly sold marijuana to an undercover informant working for the FADE Drug Task Force. The transaction took place in a parking lot near Olive Hill Elementary School, police said.
FADE said the investigation leading to Sparks' arrest had been ongoing for several weeks.
Following his arrest, Sparks wrote a resignation letter in which he said he'd made a bad mistake and failed the city of Olive Hill and its people. However, that letter was never submitted to the city council.
Sparks, who'd been mayor since 2000, did resign last week. His brief, hand-written letter of resignation didn't mention his arrest. Instead, it cited "present circumstances" and said resignation would be best for the city, the council and his family.
The council appointed one of its members, Kenny Fankell, to serve the remainder of Sparks' term, which expires in December 2014. The council still must appoint a replacement member for Fankell, and it isn't clear when that will take place. The council has a special meeting scheduled for Tuesday, but nominating a new member isn't on the agenda for the session.

What Jerry Sandusky Can Expect in Pa. Prison
He'll be able to watch college football, including Penn State, when the games are broadcast on ESPN or another major network.
"A lot of guys live for it," said the man who works with released sex offenders. "Football season is huge."
Sandusky, a regular attendee at a Methodist church in State College, will be able to go to religious services.
There's also a shared television in the day room, a common area where inmates congregate when not confined to their cells. The guards usually decide what channel to have it on. Cards are popular, as are dominoes and board games.
If he has a musical bent, Sandusky will have a list of approved instruments to choose from for purchase.
Sandusky, who has a master's degree, will be encouraged to work, and most inmates do, although it's not technically mandatory. An inmate's first job is often in the kitchen or doing janitorial work, while more coveted occupations include maintenance, landscaping, clerical work or tutoring.
The pay barely covers the cable bill: 19 to 51 cents an hour, with a 30-hour work week. Some of that money may go to pay fines or costs, or toward the $10 copay for a doctor visit.
If people on the outside put money on his account, it also can be deducted to pay any fines and costs.
For those who can afford it, the commissary sells snacks, cigarettes and toiletries. He'll be able to have books and magazines sent to him inside prison, but if personal property starts to pile up, officials will direct him to box it up and send them home.
Most Pennsylvania prison cells are designed for two people, but it's possible he could end up in his own cell or in a small dormitory.
Visiting rules vary by institution, but all visits last at least an hour, and facilities generally allow two or three visits per week, with five to eight visitors allowed at once. Inmates can have up to 40 people on their visiting list.
There's another possibility for Sandusky, said Bill DiMascio, executive director of the prison society: They could swap him for an inmate in another state.
"They might even put him in a federal prison," DiMascio said. "They have some other options."
If Sandusky writes a book, state law will prevent him from making any money off of it.

I have a 05 Tacoma TRD Off Road Access Cab with the automatic 245hp six cylinder. Two of my co-workers have hemi's. One is an 04 the other an 05. We went out after work one day for some friendly comparisons. My little Tacoma EASILY beat the mighty Hemi's in both dead stop quarter mile (about 3 truck lengths) and 20mph roll ons. The little Tacoma pulled away steadily and kept pulling away. The further we went the more the lengths in between. I have also raced an 05 Tundra, no comparison, the Tacoma kills it. Just thought you guys might want to know, go find a hemi and ruin his day and ego!

Thursday, April 11, 2013 —
Last week during spring break I spent a lot of time catching up on my sleep. My wife and I also worked on a number of different projects around the house. Today I headed back to work and can reflect back on a productive week around the house. While there are other things that we wished we could have gotten done, we both feel good about the progress we made around here.
We found plenty of dust bunnies and cat toys hiding under furniture and in the corners of closets. We pulled everything out of several closets and went through things, making the tough decision that some of the stuff had to go. Where did all this stuff come from? It's hard to let some things go, but it is nice to discover some empty space. There are still some closets yet to explore, but we are making forward progress.
We also got some things cleaned up outside. We both prefer working in the yard and we took great pleasure in working outside. All the butterfly bushes got cut back and we weeded the flowerbeds. We enjoyed doing the work together. We also took time to stop and appreciate the pansies, daffodils and the many flowering trees. Spring is finally beginning to wake up … and all the pollen in the air is getting our attention. You have to take the good with the bad.
The pile of yard debris is huge, but the yard looks lots better. The rooms and closets we cleaned up look so much better. Are we finished? No, but we clearly made a good dent in the spring cleaning around here. All this good work makes me wonder if there is ever a need for us to do some spiritual spring cleaning. Do our spiritual closets and gardens need to be cleaned out? I am afraid the answer to that is yes.
Sometimes God gets out his spiritual hedge trimmers and shapes us up spiritually to prepare us for a new growth season. That's a good thing so our new growth will come out strong and healthy. Other times God gets out his chain saw because it is time for us to grow a whole new way. Maybe you have been working in the nursery and God is opening a door for you to work in the children's Sunday school classrooms. Maybe you have been leading a home group and God is opening the door for you to become an elder. Sometimes God is changing the direction in our spiritual lives and He has to do some reshaping of our spirits.
Sometimes God has to do some cleaning out of our closets. I am not suggesting that we have hidden sin that needs to be dealt with, but that could certainly be the case. I am suggesting that sometimes our thinking about God and His ways needs attention. The longer we walk with God the more we learn about Him. We mature in our thinking. For that to happen we have to clear away our old understanding of God and His ways to make room for greater revelation.
God is all about growing our faith, understanding and our relationship with Him. He wants to get to know us and He wants us to get to know Him. None of us knows all of God's ways because they are mysterious. We do not know the things He has planned for our lives but if we seek Him and spend time with Him we can learn about Him and His ways. God wants to clear away misunderstandings to make way for a deeper relationship.
God loves us and wants us to grow. He will clean out our lives to make more room for Him. God wants to cut away the dead stuff to make room for spiritual growth. He will open doors and provide opportunities that will stretch us so we will have to lean on Him. The closer we draw to God the more God can clear away things that are keeping us from a deeper relationship with Him. Growth comes from intimacy with God.
I want to encourage you to draw closer to God and allow Him to do some spring cleaning in your life. He will cut away things with the most care because He envisions new growth. He sees things in you and imagines possibilities that you haven't considered. Will some of the things He takes away hurt? Yes, but the new things He gives you will be far better. It's time to trust the Lord and let Him do the spring cleaning.

BY CHERYL GROSS, Special to the Record-Eagle
TRAVERSE CITY — Pancakes make a wonderful breakfast.
However, made with some of the mixes such as Aunt Jemima or Bisquick, pancakes don't offer much to fortify the body.
Yet, pancakes can offer a delicious and effective way to increase whole grains in your diet. With a little planning, you can make your very own pancake mix that is good for you and lends itself to your personal preferences.
Pancakes are not only wonderful for the whole family, but to serve when entertaining. They can be eaten plain or dress them up with sweet potatoes, berries or fruit.
Begin by shopping for a variety of different flours, available today in many of our local markets. Try oat flour, spelt flour, brown rice flour, whole wheat flour and soy flour. Keep unbleached flour, buttermilk, milk, eggs, butter, baking powder, baking soda and sugar on hand.
Experiment with the different flours to discover the ones you like best. I tend to use anything I have on hand in similar proportions. However, should you not favor a certain flour, leave it out and increase the flours you do like.
While I used to make each batter from scratch, hauling all of the ingredients from the pantry can be a bit much. To make things easier, I have begun to assemble and store the dry ingredients in a large batch. Having the basic mix on hand makes serving pancakes easier.
Use this first recipe as a base to create Sweet Potato Pancakes, Banana-Filled Pancakes and Apple Pancakes.
Basic Pancake Recipe
½ c. unbleached flour
½ c. other flour or flour combination: soy, brown rice, oat, spelt
2 t. sugar
½ t. baking powder
¼ t. baking soda
1 egg
¾ c. buttermilk
¼ c. milk (plus a little more if needed to thin batter)
2 T. butter
Mix the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk the egg, buttermilk and milk in a smaller bowl. Pour the liquid into the flour mixture and blend, leaving a few small lumps. Melt the butter and stir into the batter.
Heat frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil or butter to surface and pour batter onto griddle in puddles. Fry the cakes until bubbles pop on surface and underside is a toasty brown; flip and cook second side. Adjust the heat — higher if pancakes cook too slowly, lower if they brown too quickly. Thin with milk if pancakes are too thick.
Makes about 6 4-inch pancakes. Hint: Multiply as needed to make a larger quantity.
To make this next mix, allow 50 percent unbleached flour to half other flours. The 50 percent unbleached flour allows your mix to behave as if it were all wheat. Using more than half of the other flours may make your batter behave differently.
Nutritious and Delicious Pancake Mix
5 c. unbleached flour
5 c. other flours (1 c. each soy, oat, brown rice, spelt and whole wheat or your own combination)
3 T. plus 1 t. sugar
1 T. plus 2 t. baking powder
2½ t. baking soda
Mix well in a large bowl and transfer to a food storage container.
When you are ready to feed four to five folks:
Whisk 2 eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
Add 1½ c. buttermilk and ½ c. milk.
Stir in 2 c. pancake mix.
Add 4 T. melted butter.
Let mix stand for about 10 minutes while your griddle heats. Add milk as needed for the pancake consistency you prefer.
Cook on one side until richly browned and flip to finish. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
The next level
Once you have made a few batches of pancakes with your multigrain mix, the fun can begin. This recipe readily accepts additions. The following may be used alone or in a combination of your choosing. The added ingredients enrich the nutritional value of your pancakes.
Enhanced Healthy Pancakes
For every 2 c. flour, add the following ingredients to the dry mix to increase texture and nutrition. You will probably need to add more milk to the batter when you add more dry ingredients.
Add up to the following amounts of each of these items:
1 T. wheat germ
1 T. texturized vegetable protein
1 T. rolled oats
Blueberry Pancakes
Add ½-1 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen) to 2 c. of mix. If frozen blueberries, be sure to cook your pancakes thoroughly.
Sweet Potato Pancakes
1 moderately sized sweet potato or yam
1½ c. buttermilk, divided
2 eggs
½ c. milk
2 c. nutritious pancake mix
4 T. melted butter
1 t. ground cinnamon (optional)
Bake sweet potato or yam until very tender. (I either plan ahead and bake an extra sweet potato for dinner earlier in the week or cook one in the microwave.) Cool to the touch and peel the skin from the potato. Cut the potato into chunks (you should have about 1½ cups of cooked potato, but don't worry about more or less) and blend with 1 c. buttermilk. I use a small food processor, but a potato masher or blender would work as well. The smoother the puree, however, the smoother the pancake batter. Mix the eggs, remaining buttermilk and milk with the pureed sweet potato. Add pancake mix and melted butter, along with cinnamon, if using. Cook on a griddle until richly browned.
Banana-Filled Pancakes
1 T. butter
3-4 sliced sliced overripe bananas
2 T. brown sugar
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over moderate heat. Add bananas. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle the bananas with brown sugar and remove from heat when the sugar dissolves.
Use the basic pancake mix to make pancakes. When cooked, place a large pancake on a plate, spread with warm, sliced bananas, top with a similar-sized pancake. Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar or whipped cream. Ooh, la, la!

In a word, no. It was just another of last season's silly "cliffhangers" that have come to land on solid ground this week.
"NCIS" watchers at last season's end were suddenly confronted with their much-loved surly boss whose staff had been broken up and exiled a la the staff of Gregory House, M.D. On "House" last season, it amounted to "fixing" a show that was never broken -- and therefore sending viewers into a surliness of their own that almost matched that of its Vicodin-popping hero.
They were too smart for that on "NCIS" on Tuesday night. Yes, the staff of Gibbs (Mark Harmon) had all been sent away on assignment at the end of last season, but they were all together for the beginning of the new one. Even Michael Weatherly, as Tony supposedly now on board a Navy ship, will get a big episode next Tuesday and, you can bet the farm, safe conduct back to the warm bosom of a show that (you have to remember) has always held its own against reality juggernauts like "Dancing With the Stars" and "American Idol."
Messing with success like that would be sheerest insanity. So they didn't. And unlike Monday's first new episode of "CSI: Miami," the return of "NCIS" was pretty good, too. There was a bit too much sloshing around in techspeak, but it was a nice way to introduce us to a familiar character on the show who, it seems, was always a traitor.
No, it's not one of Gibbs' usual team of cute-talkers but rather the lawyer who's always telling everyone what they can't do and then going off for nooners with the morgue attendant. Gibbs never really liked her. Me neither, if you must know.
Meanwhile, on CBS' new "The Mentalist," they've combined "Psych," "Shark" and "Dexter" -- that trio of one-word titles -- into a pretty good show that's utterly ridiculous but, hey. The "Psych" part is a high-flyer for the California Bureau of Investigation who used to pretend to be a psychic but was merely attentive to all the little revealing details most of us miss. Attentive, then to all the things that Sherlock Holmes and Gregory House take in routinely. The "Shark" part is a fellow who used to be financially successful in his former profession but is now devoted to law and order. What that means TV-wise is that he gets to go home to a big house (cf. Rossi on "Criminal Minds") and not the kind of house other people in his profession make do with.
The "Dexter" part is that everything he does is in response to a trauma inflicted by a serial killer. In this case, it's the murder of wife and daughter by a killer who's still out there.
It's a clever show, so much so that it completely threw away Gail O'Grady in its opening five minutes. One minute she was there, a grieving mother of a murdered teen daughter. One gun shot later, she was gone, a vigilante who knocked off her child-abusing husband.
A new development here to pay close attention to as the season proceeds: usual series guest stars are now showing up in the cameo business.

Mauer Power
by, 04-27-2012 at 09:38 AM (867 Views)
I was thinking about the 2012 Twins' imbalance on offense, between getting on base (acceptable) and power (low). A guy we look to for power is Joe Mauer, so I decided to see where he stands at this early stage of the season. Arbitrarily I picked his 2008 season as a benchmark - an excellent season by any standard, but not as insanely high a bar to set as his 2009 season, and one very much in line with his career numbers. In 2008 he had 633 plate appearances, and so far in 2012 he has 83. If I scale up his production proportionally, what do we get?
Year: 2008/2012
Hits: 176/175
This is almost freakish, especially considering how small the sample-size is for 2012 as yet. He's almost exactly on pace for the same number of hits *and* walks - you can see that the OBP's are similar (.413/.410) but these two components line up too. The home runs are close as well, though largely a coincidence because the lone HR in 2012 could just as easily be 0 or 2.
It's the doubles and triples, which I'll combine as similar kinds of hits especially for a lefty, where he's coming up short in 2012. 35 versus 23, if this performance continues, looks like a significant dropoff for a season, and continues the trend from his 2011 season; a dozen fewer chances to drive Denard or Jamey home from first if one is there, a dozen fewer chances for someone else to drive Joe home with just a single. Of course, I have to repeat that this is a small sample size, and a mere two doubles stretched from singles would have brought things into (freakishly) perfect alignment.
So... what to make of this? First, clutch/RISP issues aside (which I think to be non-existent for Joe anyway), there's nothing horribly wrong with Mauer's hitting, especially only 19 games into the season. Second, nevertheless, I would like to see something changed.
Anecdotally, we've seen too many bases-loaded situations not turn into crooked numbers (or even a vertical); this suggests enough table setting and not enough power. It's not only a question of making better use of these bases-loaded situations; some of these situations would not have been bases-loaded at all if somebody had hit a double to drive in a run earlier in the sequence.
We can't ask most of the Twins table-setters to change; Jamey Carroll isn't going to suddenly start hitting doubles in the gap, and Ben Revere won't be launching balls over the fence anytime soon. We can't ask Clete Thomas to stop swinging and missing, for that matter, though we can ask Gardy to stop penciling him in. And the power guys, Willingham and Morneau, are providing the power (Morneau's batting average aside).
But Joe Mauer is the one guy on the team who has the range of batting skills, IMO, to adjust his game to the needs of his team in a given year. Joe's getting on base at a .410 clip, as mentioned earlier, which is phenomenal. He needs to stop that. Well, if he could give us 2008 numbers, that would be super. But if he has to sacrifice some of the on-base part of his game, to increase the power above even 2008, I think he should do it. Launch a few home runs, drive a lot of balls to the gap. Fifteen homers and 45 doubles/triples? I think he's capable. If he bats only .280 in doing so, with a few less walks, so be it.
This is somewhat independent of being in the #3 slot in the batting order, but that's another good/traditional reason too.
I don't want to think of him as Joe Table-Setter. We need to see Mauer Power. Not because it would make him a "better" hitter, but because it's what the team needs this year. It would be an aspect of "quiet leadership", given that he's not known for being a vocal leader, that would help his team a lot.

Your Thoughts on Uproar 2012
My thought when I recieved the email from Uproar yesterday was... Are You Serious. Hell Yeah!! I can't wait! I knew there was a reason things worked out like they did... I am going to a few shows this summer already. I thought Slipknot was going to be one of the best shows to end the summer with but this is by far is the winner for me. A7X has headlined the last 2 years and I was wondering who they were going to get to top them and GS being one is AWESOME!! I hope they get to be the final act over Shinedown. I like them but never as much as GODSMACK!! let me know what you think about this year's line-up. Love to all you Smackers and Smackettes.
My thoughts... well, if they come to Toronto...will I go? Who will i go with? Can I afford it? Can I sit through all those bands when I'd only want to see Godsmack? It's probably going to be hot, ugh, would i wanna be stuck in a crowd of people, with a chance of elbow? Will they offer VIP? Would I just go for the VIP? And if it's at the Molson Am. it's a pain in the a$$ to get to..and back home. And would I need to take a vacation day?
I think those are all my thoughts on this... LOL sorry hehe

Some of Pack 50 Cubs get a jump on the fishing class.
Cubs take turns catching Backyard Bass.
Catching Backyard Bass was a hit with the Cubs.
Cub catches a nice bluegill (bream) from the Alabama River on December 3.
Small hooks seem to be the trick for turning bites into bluegill.
Pack 50 cubs have a great time fishing.
Cub scouts camp with their families. This young lady practices casting with her Barbie fishing pole while her Grandfather watches.
Casting for Backyard Bass is fun for all ages!

|Chris Ash Bio
Courtesy: Athletic Communications
Chris Ash, who helped lead Wisconsin to three straight Rose Bowls, was named Arkansas' defensive coordinator Dec. 11, 2012.
Ash spent the last three seasons at Wisconsin, where he helped the Badgers win three straight Big Ten championships and become the first Big Ten team to play in three straight Rose Bowls since Michigan following the 1976-78 seasons. Ash brings experience as a defensive coordinator at two other schools and has also been a recruiting coordinator three times in his career.
In 2012, Wisconsin led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA with a three-and-out percentage of 41.72, and the Badgers' 5.23 three and outs per game topped the Big Ten and was fourth in the country. The Badgers' defense was 13th in the NCAA in total defense and tied for 19th in the country in scoring defense. Wisconsin also ranked 21st in the nation in third-down conversion defense in addition to being third in the conference in sacks and ranked 21st in the NCAA in rush defense and pass efficiency defense and 23rd in the country in pass defense.
Defensive backs Devin Smith and Marcus Cromartie both ranked in the top seven in the Big Ten in passes defensed with Smith fifth and Cromartie tied for seventh. In addition, Smith also tied for third in the conference in interceptions. The Badgers also produced two of the top nine sack artists in the conference, with defensive end Brendan Kelly tied for seventh with an average of 0.45 sacks per game and defensive end Tyler Dippel's 0.42 per-game average tied for ninth. Linebacker Chris Borland tied for third in the Big Ten in forced fumbles and fourth in the conference in fumble recoveries, and linebacker Mike Taylor ranked fifth in the Big Ten with an average of 1.15 tackles for loss per game.
In 2011, Ash's first as defensive coordinator at Wisconsin, the Badgers ranked 13th in the country in scoring defense, allowing an average of 19.0 points per game, and 15th in the nation in total defense. It was the first time since 2006 that Wisconsin had allowed fewer than 20 points per game. Ten of the Badgers' 14 opponents failed to score more than 17 points. Wisconsin allowed just 163.6 yards per game through the air in 2011, the second-best mark by a Wisconsin defense in 20 years, to rank fourth in the NCAA in pass defense.
Five Wisconsin defenders earned All-Big Ten honors, including four first-team selections. Taylor and Borland finished first and second, respectively, in the conference in total tackles, and both finished in the top 10 in the country. Taylor's 150 tackles were the most by a Badger since 2001. Defensive backs Aaron Henry and Antonio Fenelus tied for second in the conference with four interceptions, and as a team Wisconsin was second in the Big Ten with 16 interceptions.
In 2010, Ash oversaw marked improvement in the Badger pass defense. Wisconsin allowed just 193.9 passing yards per game through the air. Three of the starters in the Badger secondary earned all-Big Ten honors as Fenelus earned first-team all-conference from the media, Henry was a second-team pick by the coaches and cornerback Niles Brinkley was a consensus honorable mention All-Big Ten pick.
Henry, a first-year starter at free safety in 2010, scored three defensive touchdowns, recovered three fumbles, recorded two interceptions and led the team with 47 solo tackles. Fenelus led the team with four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
Prior to his time at Wisconsin, Ash spent eight of 10 seasons at Iowa State, beginning as a defensive graduate assistant in 2000. He was promoted to secondary coach in 2002 and added the title of recruiting coordinator in 2006.
Following the 2006 season, Ash moved on to become the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator at San Diego State. He stayed there for two seasons before returning to Iowa State in the same position.
In 2009, his final season at Iowa State, the Cyclones tied for second in the NCAA in red zone efficiency and ranked ninth in the NCAA with 32 takeaways. In 2005, Iowa State led the Big 12 with 22 interceptions after ranking second in the conference with 17 interceptions the year before.
Ash began his career as a volunteer assistant at Drake in 1996. The next season he served as a defensive graduate assistant for the Bulldogs and then took over as defensive coordinator for two seasons.
Ash graduated from Drake with a bachelor's degree in secondary education in 1996. He received his master's degree in education from Iowa State in 2005. A native of Ottumwa, Iowa, Ash has two children, Tanner and Jacey.

Alabama Endangered Bats Cave Survey (Project 12):
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) and the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) are currently listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Since their listings, concerted effort has been made to assess the status of these species by an annual inventory of selected bat caves in Alabama and throughout parts of their respective ranges. Emergence estimates were for all species of bats observed exiting. Most Alabama caves having substantial numbers (>100) of colonial bats, are believed to contain gray bats - except for the winter hibernating population of Indiana bats in Sauta Cave, and in Sanders Cave where the southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius), is most likely the species in greatest number.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Scott Denno manslaughter case will go to the jury on Wednesday.
Before the defense rested on Tuesday afternoon, the defendant took the stand in his own defense, admitting he kicked Robert Rennie during an attack last year.
"I literally kicked Mr. Rennie three times," he said. "I kicked his thighs and maybe his butt."
He added that he "kicked with a very light force — just enough to make it look like I was doing something."
Denno, of Keeseville, is charged with first-degree manslaughter, gang assault and possession of a weapon in connection with Rennie's death last August in Keeseville.
Also charged are Michael Rivers and Paul J. Taylor, who will be tried separately.
Before Denno, 20, gave his interpretation of events, the prosecution rested its case.
And his attorney, Joe Brennan, asked Judge Richard Meyers to dismiss the charges, saying testimony and evidence did not prove his client had beat Rennie to death.
Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague countered that the evidence and testimony presented since the trial began last week did prove intent.
She said the medical examiner had testified that "it didn't matter where the kicks came from," that the liver isn't protected and is accessible from all sides.
An autopsy report concluded Rennie died of blunt-force trauma and internal bleeding.
Judge Richard Meyer dropped the weapon charge, saying there was "no proof that the shoes (worn by Denno as he kicked Rennie) caused serious injury or were capable of such."
He reserved decision on the top two accusations, but then court resumed following a conference with the attorneys and Denno.
For nearly two hours, Denno gave his view of what happened.
He said he stood with Rivers, a man he looked up to as a father, as Rivers and Rennie exchanged words and punches on Front Street before walking down Mill Hill Road to "square off."

Super Easy Snowflake Stocking
Each year my friend Jodi and I make felt stockings for friends and family. We find felt so easy and satisfying to work with so we never tire of making them. We're both last minute Charlies so it's great that we can whip up a few of these in one evening! Each year we change the theme of the stockings since the possibilities of shapes you can make with felt are endless. This is mostly thanks to fact that it has a finished edge simply by cutting it. The pink and cream color palette we chose for the Purl Bee Christmas just enhanced how clean and contemporary our felt stockings feel.
Snowflakes are one of our themes for Christmas week on the Purl Bee and I had a great time figuring out how to make delicate snowflakes from felt to adorn these stockings. The beauty of the snowflakes is that they look as though they took hours to make each one when they were actually really quick and easy!
Happy Holidays! --Page

A man police identified as Jeremy Ross of Terre Haute remained at large late Wednesday night after reports of gunfire brought dozens of police to a Maple Avenue home for a multi-hour siege of an apartment house.
A little before midnight, police began to break down the operation and soon told news reporters that, after a search of the apartment, the suspect was not inside.
It was not known where Ross had gone, police said. He is described as a light-skinned, mixed-race male between 30 and 35 years of age with a shaved head, multiple tattoos and about five-feet-10.
A Terre Haute Police officer who spoke with reporters said Ross was believed to be armed.
Early Wednesday evening, police received a report of shots fired around 14th Street and Maple Avenue. When police arrived, they went to an apartment building, where a woman police identified as Ross' girlfriend told them shots had been fired and that Ross was believed to still be inside the apartment.
Believing Ross to be inside the apartment, police surrounded the gray, two-story building and evacuated some residents from nearby homes.
A woman who works at a neighboring beauty salon said she and several others inside the salon, which is next door to the apartment, were told by police to lie on the floor of the salon for several minutes before being moved outside. The woman said she heard three shots fired.
Hundreds of residents of the 12 Points-area neighborhood milled around 14th and Maple just outside the police barricade zone all evening on the hot evening with temperatures in the 80s.
Police attempted throughout the evening to communicate with Ross using text messaging, family members and a loud speaker. An armored car was also at the scene.
Law enforcement officers from the Terre Haute Police Department, the West Terre Haute Police the Indiana State University police and possibly others had the residence surrounded for several hours beginning sometime in the late afternoon or early evening.

Is this bat approved for use under Little League regulated coach pitch baseball?
The Miken REV-EX (JREV11) will not be legal for coach pitch leagues governed by Little League rules because its 2 3/4" inch barrel is too big.
I have a 7 year old playing coach pitch for the first time. He is 60 pounds and about 4'4". Is this bat an option?
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 28" Miken REV-EX (JREV11) Junior Big Barrel. Junior Big Barrel bats are designed specifically for coach pitch.
Does this bat need to be broken-in? If so, what is the fastest way?
The 2013 Miken REV-EX: JREV11 Junior Big Barrel requires a break-in period of 150-200 swings, working up from about 40% to full power at the 150 swing mark. Be sure to use real baseballs and rotate the bat a quarter inch every swing.

LEWISTON — Mayor Robert Macdonald on Tuesday announced a city effort to cut down on welfare fraud and waste that includes kicking 84 people off the city's General Assistance lists, 50 of whom are accused of fraud.
It's part of a larger campaign aimed at cutting down on welfare cheats in the city.
"We're not going to be known as a welfare town anymore," Macdonald said. "If you want to come here, don't come here for welfare, because if we catch you, you will be prosecuted."
Police Chief Michael Bussiere said police were pursuing fraud charges against 12 people cut from the city's welfare rolls. He declined to name them, but said they could face up to six months in jail, as well as fines, if convicted.
"Our job is to investigate the complaint," Bussiere said. "The city, just like anyone else that suspects they are a victim of fraud, gets to make a complaint. Our job is to develop probable cause and determine if a crime has been committed."
Four city residents were issued summonses on Monday. All 12 were expected to be charged this week, Bussiere said. And the investigation will not stop with them, he said.
Macdonald promised there would be more charges filed later in the year.
"Before the summer, it is going be a much larger number," Macdonald said. "And the ones we are going after next are a lot more serious."
Sue Charron, the city's social services director, said 225 people get General Assistance. Single recipients can be eligible for up to $471 per month to help pay for basic necessities: housing, utilities, medicine and food.
Charron said 34 of the people cut had neglected administrative requirements. They had not completed their required job training programs, had quit a job or were fired. They were not accused of fraud, she said.
Of the 50 accused of fraud, Charron said most had lied about applying for work. General Assistance recipients must fill out a form detailing where they applied for jobs.
"They need to actually leave applications, so when we call, they can confirm it," Charron said. "What they were doing was just writing names down and they were not actually applying for work."
Charron said the city does occasionally check those forms.
"We try to do it as best we can, but we had not done it for some time because we have been so busy," Charron said. "But we took a bunch and decided to check."
People can be kicked off General Assistance rolls for up to 120 days if the department finds fraud.
"On the 121st day, they can come back, and they don't have to make restitution or anything," Charron said. "But they can be charged. What we are going to do now in Lewiston is, if you commit fraud, you will be charged. It's not going to be as easy as just coming back."
Macdonald said he also wants the city to adopt rules for fining landlords when their tenants misbehave.
"If police are called to a certain residency a certain number of times in one month, the landlord is fined $50," Macdonald said.
Macdonald said he's not targeting the poor; he's targeting the dishonest.
"We have the working poor down there," Macdonald said. "Those are the people who work in the coffee shops. Those are the people who get up every morning and go to jobs. However, a lot of them are kept up all night long by some of the people we are charging. These people sleep all day and party all night."

Honda's production of the Elite 80 scooter first began in 1984 and eventually ended in 2007. The base MSRP for the 2004 Honda Elite 80 scooter is around $2,200. These scooters feature a one-piece nonadjustable vinyl seat that can accommodate up to two people. The frame of the scooter is made of steel and the body is made of plastic. The 2004 Elite 80 scooter comes equipped with a floor board beneath the driver and passenger as well. This can be a great choice for people looking for a simple way to get around town and run errands in the local area. The scooter weighs less than 180 pounds so it's pretty easy to handle for just about anyone.
The scooter comes with standard hand grips and handlebars and standard front and rear fenders as well. The 2004 Elite 80 also comes equipped with a gauge that warns the driver when the fuel level gets low. The 2004 Honda Elite 80 also comes with a rear rack and offers lockable storage as well. Halogen headlights and rearview mirrors are standard on the 2004 Elite 80 scooters. The Elite 80 has enough room to store groceries, school books and other things riders may need to bring along. Riders also enjoy the benefits of saving a significant amount of money on gas. The Honda Elite 80 is a conservative choice of transportation that is adequate enough to get one or two people around the local area without incurring high costs.
Surveyed riders like the 2004 Honda Elite 80 better than other scooters but not as much as all of the other bikes on the market. Surveyed riders felt the engine performance from Honda's 2004 Elite 80 scooter was inferior compared to other scooters and bikes on the market. These riders did indicate that the 2004 models of the Honda Elite 80 scooter were more reliable, more fun, better value for the money and had lower maintenance costs when compared to other scooters or motorcycles. The Elite 80 isn't necessarily going to win any prizes, but it's more than capable of being a reliable daily commuter vehicle around the local streets of the city, suburban or rUral regions.
Riders felt that other scooters and motorcycles were safer than the 2004 version of the Honda Elite 80 scooter. Riders also favored the touring, off-roading and racing track capabilities of other scooters and motorcycles over the Elite 80. Riders also indicated that other scooters and motorbikes had better designs and more appeal than the 2004 Honda Elite 80 scooter. The 2004 Honda Elite 80 scooter is the ideal choice for someone looking for substance and reliability more so than style or performance. The Elite 80 is one of the more moderately priced scooters of its class on the market.

NORTH AUGUSTA, SC Since the mid-1990s, Rita Marie Sherlock, 38, and Mary Teresa Sherlock, 42, have gotten nearly $200,000 in Social Security disability payments because they were blind. Only they weren't blind, US Attorney Bill Nettles said Thursday in a release.
On Wednesday, the two North Augusta women pleaded guilty to one count each of theft of government funds and were sentenced to five months in federal prison, five months house arrest and paying the government back.
Both Sherlocks not only held valid South Carolina drivers licenses but also had been cited for traffic violations in the past.
Rita Sherlock will have to repay the Social Security Administration $100,408.70; Mary Sherlock must repay $91,977.20, Nettles said.

|By the time the Spaniards entered New Mexico, the Pajarito Plateau had been abandoned by the Native Americans and came under the jurisdiction of the Spanish Empire. Land grants were awarded to soldiers. Los Alamos townsite is located where the Rito de Los Frijoles and Ramon Vigil grants were. When the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican American war, the United States guaranteed recognition of the Hispanic land grants.
Later, in 1863, the United States established homesteading laws. To homestead one would farm the land in return for 160 acres given to the homesteader by the government. In order to gain the land permanently, the homesteader had to prove up by living on the land for five years, building a house, digging a well, fencing a certain amount, and plowing 10 acres. Several families from the Rio Grande Valley built cabins and homesteaded in the Los Alamos area so they could run their sheep or cattle. They would return to the valley to live through the winter. The Romero cabin is an example of such a cabin. It is located behind the Los Alamos Historical Museum.
