Paint Township is being investigated by the state Ethics Commission, The Tribune-Democrat has learned.
Township officials were able to offer little about the investigation and its scope Thursday, but all three Paint Township supervisors said state investigators have apparently made several stops at their Basin Drive office during the past few weeks.
One investigator was working behind closed doors at the township building Thursday, and Supervisors Dave Blough and Joe Huff said office staffers are complying with requests.
"We haven't been told anything. And whatever they ask for, the girls in the office are providing it," Huff said, noting five years' worth of meeting minutes have been among the requests.
The Harrisburg-based state Ethics Commission enforces Pennsylvania's Ethics Act, policing allegations of conflicts of interest and improper moves by elected officials to financially gain from their public posts.
The independent agency investigates alleged missteps by local and state leaders and can impose fines and other penalties.
Huff, Blough and Supervisor Andy Tvardzik said they did not know the investigation's focus.
All three added they had not been approached by investigators.
"I have no idea what they are looking for," Tvardzik said.
Blough, the township roadmaster, called the investigation "a first" in his more than 20 years with the township. But given recent events, "it doesn't surprise me," he said while working in the township's garage Thursday.
"There's been a lot of unrest here. And residents have said they were going to notify the ethics board, so I guess that's why it happened," Blough said. "But it is what it is. It'll clear the air, I guess."
Since mid-2012, township residents have repeatedly accused the board of improper spending. Tvardzik, the former treasurer, has taken the most heat, accused of collecting pay from the township for administrative work tied to the recent sewer line project.
Tvardzik received $14,791 for the work in 2011, township records show. In many cases, and by Tvardzik's own admission, he signed off on his own checks along with one other supervisor, a matter that has also infuriated some residents.
Tvardzik has repeatedly defended his actions, saying he's done nothing wrong.
He told residents at a heated November meeting that he was able to exceed the annual income a second-class township supervisor is able to receive because the funds were being reimbursed by an outside source, the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, known as PennVEST, which supplied the loan and grant package for the sewer work.
"The people complaining ... and saying these things are doing it because they don't want to see things improve in this township," Tvardzik said Thursday, adding that some residents are angry at the township for seeking sewer improvements and zoning.
"Do I think I've done anything (wrong)? No, I don't," he said.
Ethics Commission Acting Director Rob Caruso said his agency cannot comment on whether specific investigations are, or aren't, under way, let alone provide details. He cited an Ethics Act confidentiality provision.
But he noted ethics probes do not necessarily mean improper acts occurred.
And, for any investigation, specific procedures must be followed, Caruso said.
The first step: Verifying whether an allegation is an Ethics Commission matter, or if it should be referred to another agency.
"Once we have sufficient information to proceed, there's a preliminary inquiry that involves reviewing public records, such as bills or payments, to see if (the allegation) is something we should look into," Caruso said, noting it's a 60-day process. "At that point, a decision must be made to pursue a full investigation or recommend closing it."
If further review is warranted, investigators must notify the subjects of the investigation by letter, advising them they are being investigated and, in general terms, why, Caruso added.
The Ethics Commission has 180 days to complete the investigation, but can receive two 90-day extensions if records are still being gathered, Caruso said.
"It can take months to subpoena records and arrange interviews," he added.
Huff, a first-term board member, said he "welcomes" any investigation.
"If there's a complaint, that's why agencies like this exist, to make sure everything is in line," he said. "I'm not worried because I know I haven't done anything wrong."
The township's board, Huff said, has made mistakes, overspending on the township building and failing to raise taxes in 2011 when the township's financial issues first became serious.
"But it's never been about anything illegal or criminal," he said.

12/1/2013 | U.S. Century Bank Arena (Miami, Fla.) | Attendance: 0

Sunday, December 01, 2013
The Crusaders were literally a second away from their first win of the season before Montana State guard Jackie Elliott's desperation three sent Sunday's game to overtime. Montana State then outscored Valpo 21-10 in the extra frame to claim the consolation championship of the FIU Thanksgiving Classic 96-85 in Miami.
The Bobcats entered Sunday's game having made just 15 three-pointers in their first five games. Accordingly, Valparaiso kept its focus on the post as the Crusaders were willing to allow the Bobcats to fire away from beyond 15 feet. The plan worked in the first half as Montana State shot 1-for-10 from three-point range.
Meanwhile, the Crusaders cashed in on opportunities from the line. Fourteen of Valpo's 32 first-half points came at the charity stripe. Despite not recording their first field goal until the 13:14 mark, the Brown and Gold won the battle in the paint by a 18-8 margin in the first twenty minutes. Valpo led 32-27 at halftime.
Montana State's three-point shooting turned a 180 in the second frame, as the Bobcats drained 8 of 15 tries from beyond the arc.
Jessi Wiedemann (Palatine, Ill./Fremd) and Liz Horton (Cannelburg, Ind./Barr-Reeve) gave the Crusaders a 12-point lead via the three-ball with 11 minutes remaining in the game.
Two of Charae Richardson's (Lafayette, Ind./Jefferson [Vincennes]) career-high 23 points came on a layup with nine minutes to play. The drive gave Valpo a 59-45 advantage.
Ashley Brumwell hit treys on back-to-back possessions to draw the Bobcats to within eight points.
The Bobcats owned the offensive boards late in the second half as they eventually took a 64-63 lead with 3:38 left. It stayed a one-possession game the rest of the way as the teams combined to shoot 14 free-throws in the final three-and-a-half minutes.
Wiedemann made two free-throws with 11 seconds on the clock to give the Brown and Gold a 75-72 lead.
On the final possession of regulation, the Bobcats feverishly cycled the ball around the perimeter. It appeared as though Montana State wasn't going to get a shot off before the horn sounded, but Elliott heaved a three from directly in front of the Bobcat bench. The shot took a fortuitous bounce off the backboard and caromed in to tie the game and cap a 30-16 Montana State run to end the half.
Abby Dean (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) scored six seconds into overtime to give the Crusaders a quick two-point overtime lead. Unfortunately, the layup represented the last time Valpo would be in front. Montana State reacted with a 13-1 run. The Bobcats won the contest 96-85, scoring ten of their 21 overtime points from the line.
In a tilt that saw 61 fouls, the Crusaders were in the bonus prior to the 12-minute mark of both halves. They made 28 of their 38 free-throws.
Lexi Miller (Caledonia, Mich./Caledonia) sank all six of her free throws as part of a 16-point, 8-rebound afternoon. Miller was named to the All-Tournament team.
Wiedemann and Horton finished with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
The Crusaders return to the court Friday as they take part in the Toledo Invite. Valpo will face Chicago State at 3:30 pm at Savage Arena.

Comments about 5.11 Tactical COVRT 18 Backpack:
I am not an LEO or a tactical operator. That said, I travel two hours by car, train, bus and foot through some of the more unsavory neighborhoods in Seattle to get to work every day. It's easy to spot the preppers, prior military, outright wackos, etc. by what they carry their gear in. I wanted a pack that was a) Comfortable, b) carried my 17" laptop, c) roomy enough for some gear if I have to overnight in the city, d) configurable for additional uses, e) weatherproof so I didn't have to bring an umbrella and f) nondescript so that it didn't scream GUN.
I got everything but the weatherproof. Hint 5.11 if you're listening – at least make the laptop space waterproof and this thing will get five stars.
I was at first a little put off by the way that I had to load my laptop. It requires pulling the compartment top over the laptop one corner at a time. It barely fits. But then I discovered that it keeps that laptop snugly in place, doesn't flop back and forth and snugs it right to my back. Everything else distributes against my back in such a comfortable way, you really don't feel the weight. I went from a Swiss Gear laptop back to the COVRT 18 literally overnight and could definitely feel the difference. No way I am going back. Jogging to make a light signal used to force me to reach back and hold my pack still while securing whatever was in the side pockets from falling out. On that subject; at first I wanted two more compression straps lower on the pack but then realized that it would get in the way of the CCW compartment.
The only other complaint that I have is that the sunglasses pocket is really a shared space with the laptop compartment. Since my laptop fills the space, the pocket is useless for anything that is not small or flat. Yes, you can get them in and move them out of the way of the laptop but you can't get them out without removing the laptop. That said, just pick a different pocket for your sunglasses and all is good.
Here's a tip: I was a little concerned about having easy sliding zippers for the CCW compartment. For peace of mind, I added a small, black keychain clip from an ultra-light flashlight to the zipper pulls and clip them to the bungee loops on the bottom of the tie-down loops. That way, standing on a bus a kid can't reach up and easily unzip that chamber but it's very easy to reach back and unsnap when you need to.

Surrender to Fate (Fate's Path Part One: A New Adult Romance Series)

For William and Sarah, that game begins with growing up, in the unspoiled mountains of Colorado. In a time and space as clear as the Rocky Mountain skies above, these young souls together learn about life, what matters most, what endures, what doesn't, and about love. Innocent young love moves ever so surely toward lives they both can picture, lives spent loving each other in a place they know so well and cherish.
Will and Sarah are ecstatically swept away in the swells of new love. And it is in their rarefied bliss that they make the fragile promise of first love, a promise that fate will soon rock and pound into doubt, guilt, and epiphany.
Unexpected and unprepared, these young lovers are suddenly torn apart, first by distance, and then by the far greater pressures of temptation that test the very fidelity of their heart-held promise. No longer able to console each other, hold each other, touch each other, they face the inevitable decision: move on to other loves, or cling to the faith that they will someday be together, again.

Zane Edwards said he was told to expect hard work and hot weather for his trip to the Grand Canyon.
The Oklahoma School for the Blind sophomore is determined to go anyway.
Zane plans to raft through the Grand Canyon with the Global Explorers Leading the Way program, which teams blind or visually impaired students with sighted students on adventures.
He is the third member of his family to participate in the program. His older brother Landon also rafted the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. His older sister, Arielle, went to Peru.
To help raise money for his trip, Zane has planned a Potato Bake fundraiser from 4:10 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday at Oklahoma School for the Blind, 3300 Gibson St. Donors can get a potato and dessert for $5, plus chili and cheese toppings for another $1. Take-out orders will be available.
Zane has raised more than $2,000 toward the $3,000 he needs to cover the cost of tuition and transportation.
He said he looks forward to the trip.
"Landon told me to expect a lot of hard work and hot days — and a lot of fun," he said. "I just like adventure. I'm getting out of my comfort zone. Even though I am visually impaired, I can still do stuff."
Landon Edwards, 21, said he remembers the work he did and the fun he had on his trip several years ago.
"The people were amazing, and we got to go to the Grand Canyon," he said. "There is some hard work because there is a mandatory service project. We redid a camping area, made trails for people and cleaned it up."
Edwards said he told his brother to take in as many opportunities as he could to "soak up the experience."
"I said to take advantage of your quiet time and write what's on your mind," he said.
Zane said he will go to Denver in April for team-building and training.
The Grand Canyon trek is set for July.
"We'll spend two days on a community project then hike down to the river," Zane said, adding that he expects to spend three days on the river.
He said he plans to perform some community service when he gets back home and plans to establish Leo's Club, a student-based Lions Club at OSB. Improving speaking and fundraising skills are part of the Global Explorers program, according to a media release from the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services.
Zane, who wrestles for OSB and plays trombone in the jazz band, said he plans to attend Murray State College after he graduates.
Reach Cathy Spaulding at (918) 684-2928 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you go
WHAT: Potato Bake fundraiser for Zane Edwards.
WHEN: 4:10 to 5:30 p.m. Monday.
WHERE: Oklahoma School for the Blind, 3300 Gibson St.
COST: $5 for potato and dessert, plus $1 for cheese and chili topping. Take-out orders available.

Henrik Zetterberg, left, Valtteri Filppula, and Johan Franzen, here playing with the puck at the end of practice, have been the calming veteran influence on a Red Wings team full of fledglings. (David Guralnick/Detroit News)
Anaheim, Cal. — Everyone knew things would be different, less predictable and more turbulent. The Red Wings rode the wave of youthful transition all season, so we shouldn't be surprised they engaged in a classically riveting first-round series with the Ducks.
Did the Wings and Ducks play seven games of aesthetically scintillating hockey? No. But they played one of the tightest series imaginable, more tightly contested than almost any the NHL has seen, with four of the first six games decided in overtime.
This stirred two thoughts before they met for a late-night Game 7. One is that the Wings made it through the toughest part of their transformation, with seven playoff rookies getting substantial time and mostly showing they belong. Somehow, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk haven't started aging while the kids have, and that bodes well for the future.
The other thought is, playoff hockey is so compelling, almost nothing can ruin it. Teams flying across the country three times in two weeks with no extra days off and no rest for the wickedly weary? It might have contributed to some slow starts, but it didn't prevent fantastic finishes, breath-taking in multiple ways.
Not even the NHL's typical scheduling nonsense, with Detroit fans enduring another spate of 10 p.m. face-offs -- incredibly, even Game 7 -- could dim the entertainment. Gary Bettman and the gang could order the teams to play in the dark with a glowing puck and it'd still be good.
Fight to the finish
For the first time in 22 consecutive playoff years for the Wings, this was clearly one of growth and adjustment. And maybe that explains why the series was so topsy-turvy, with the teams seizing and losing control more often than a rodeo rider. The Wings won three in overtime, despite blowing a 4-1 lead in one and a 3-1 lead in the other. The Ducks won in slightly more routine fashion.
The entire series seemed capable of shifting not just game to game, but period to period. If you wondered how inconsistent the Wings could look without the steady stick of the great Nicklas Lidstrom, now you know. You saw it all season before it turned the final week, when the Wings won four straight desperation games just to get in the playoffs.
"There's not a lot to choose between the teams, and when you get going in the wrong direction, one team takes over momentum-wise," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said before Game 7. "We're in a perfect situation for us. We feel we're getting better and more confident as it goes along."
After years of knowing almost exactly what you're getting from the Wings, it's a bit strange now. One night, rookie Gustav Nyquist is getting knocked around, and the next game he's scoring the overtime winner. One night, rookie Damien Brunner is committing a huge turnover, and the next game he's scoring the overtime winner.
One night, five youngsters are on the ice for the overtime winner, and the next game they're on the ice for the overtime loser. Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Jimmy Howard still do most of the heavy lifting, but if fans thought they'd have to wait for the remade Wings to be competitive again, they might reconsider. The Ducks posted the third-best record in the league, and while deeper than Detroit, they struggled to pull away.
'Live in the moment'
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau has been in a lot of tight games, but never a series like this.
"You don't have time to let your mind wander, you're always looking at the other bench," Boudreau said. "You try to think three steps ahead, but it's difficult. You gotta live in the moment at the same time. I know at the end of these games, I'm pretty whipped. I'm having to do more thinking than I really want."
More thinking and more sweating. The Ducks were eager to get their Saku Koivu-led line back on the ice against the Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Justin Abdelkader line, which was possible Sunday night with the home team getting the last change. When freed from the defensive pressure, Datsyuk and Zetterberg were brilliant.
After being one of the oldest teams in the league for a long, long time, the Wings are leaning so much on youth, it's sometimes hard for fans to watch -- and hard to look away. Even the "veterans" are younger, such as Abdelkader, 26, and Brunner, who's actually 27. If Darren Helm, 26, ever stays healthy, the Wings would have a batch of rising skaters.
Defensemen Brendan Smith and Jakub Kindl are still hit and miss and hit again, and rookie Joakim Andersson has been a decent third-line center. Growing pains lead to bouncing pucks, the most-plausible explanation yet for such a wacky series.
As the No. 2 seed, the Ducks carried more talent and more pressure, and both were noticeable. As the No. 7 seed, the Wings displayed more underdog scrappiness than ever, reflected in their overtime fearlessness. The Wings were 0-3 in playoff overtimes the previous three years, and won three in this series.
"It's been great to be part of this series, it's been pretty incredible," Abdelkader said. "To tell you the truth, I think our team thrived off it."
Wherever they go from here, the Wings are more comfortable with their direction now. Or at least they should be, once they catch their breaths.

Annual Period to Appeal Property Tax Bills is Underway
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/24/2014 03:48 PM
Sacramento, Ca – California taxpayers who disagree with local assessors' valuation of their property can contact the local assessor's office to discuss the assessment or appeal their property tax bills. "Thanks to Proposition 13, property taxes remain predictable and reasonable for California homeowners," said Board of Equalization Member George Runner. "Even so, taxpayers should carefully review their bills and know they have the right to challenge any mistakes." The window to file an appeal varies by county, and ends either Sept. 15 or Dec. 1, 2014. That process is only available to taxpayers who are challenging the assessed value of their property as of Jan. 1. Different appeal periods apply to taxpayers who are appealing an assessment after a property was sold, underwent new construction, or was damaged in a natural disaster or other calamity.

And it's not just weekend getaways, but those little home improvement projects that we swore we would finally get to this summer. With your kids on summer vacation, you have plenty of helpers to get through your home improvement projects in no time. I'm sure by now you've heard "Mom, I'm bored" at least a few times. Even though there is an abundance of toys, video games and family pets to occupy their time. Oh, and there is also that place called "outside" where they could go play, but you know how that goes. So, for the kid with "nothing" to do...hand them a paint brush and get creative!

Amador and Calaveras County, Ca...The Arc of Amador and Calaveras is a non-profit, grass roots organization who works with intellectually and developmentally disabled adults. One of the areas we support our consumers in is supported employment. Currently we have 40 individuals working in the community at a variety of businesses throughout Amador and Calaveras Counties. They are hired through the business and receive minimum wage or above. Some of the perks of hiring someone through The Arc is that they are assigned a Job Coach, who helps them learn their job, at no cost to the employer. The job coach is always available throughout their employment term. We also pride ourselves on helping our folks develop a natural support system by building friendships with supervisors, co-workers and peers with similar jobs and needs. Of course the biggest reward is seeing how proud our folks are of their jobs; because of course where they work is the best place on earth. The Arc's Supported Employment program could not be as successful if it was not for the businesses listed below. Without their willingness to hire, many people we support, may have never found the satisfaction and independence that comes from employment....

BOE Adopts Regulation to Implement Partial Tax Exemption for Manufacturing and R&D Equipment
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/24/2014 12:02 PM
Sacramento, Ca – The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) adopted a regulation to implement the Manufacturing and Research & Development Equipment Partial Sales and Use Tax Exemption during a public hearing on July 17, 2014. The regulation applies to equipment used primarily in manufacturing or research and development. This is part of the Governor's Economic Development Initiative which provides tax exemptions and credits to qualified businesses to promote business expansion and job growth in California. Prior Board votes on this topic initiated the rulemaking process, and further clarified the Board's view of the types of businesses and purchases that qualify for the exemption which took effect on July 1, 2014. The Board also adopted the assessment rolls for private rail cars and publicly owned private utilities, and heard a report on the Private Railroad Car Tax Rate that will be used to assess property taxes on private rail cars during the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Is The Time Finally Right To Build Your Dream Home? Cedar Ridge Has Your Lots Ready! Video Interview With Jon Ellis
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/07/2014 03:16 PM
Arnold, CA...Since 1990 Jon Ellis has had a dream of a great, upscale, custom home community on the beautiful 180 acre Cedar Ridge property. He and his wife Anne have kept pursuing this dream against what have at times been significant odds. Their patience, perseverance and faith have paid off. The property is a former Boy Scout Camp that at times played host to 10,000 young Scouts at a time. That has given way to wide, mostly level streets, underground utilities including electric, water, sewer & more. If you are looking for a mountain lot that is ready for your home these are ready and construction could begin within weeks....

Walker had been found guilty of this crime on June 11, 2014, following a five day jury trial in Calaveras Superior Court. The mandatory sentence for this crime is 25 years to life, but due to Walker's criminal past, his sentence was increased to a term of 27 years to life in prison. Under current law, he will not be eligible for release on parole until he serves a minimum of 27 years behind bars...

San Andreas, CA....In circumstances that were a bit complex the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors allowed the Autozone Project to move to the next phase with a 4-1 vote with Callaway voting against. There are existing approvals and entitlements on the 30 plus acre parcel that the property owner did not want to open back up to environmental and other reviews. The Autozone project adds an additional layer, in essence and is proposed to be built south of Senders on Hwy 26. Caltrans, MyValleySprings.com, were the voices of opposition with Supervisor Edson the most vocal and eloquent voice for approval. Caltrans objected on grounds that in approving the county would not be following proper planning procedures. Supervisor Edson countered with a suggestion that that this portion of Hwy 26 become a county maintained road and remove Caltrans from the equation...

2014 Vineyard Tour & BBQ - "The Grape to the Glass Tour" On July 25th
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 06/27/2014 11:17 AM
Murphys, Ca....This year's tour will involve discussions with the vineyard manager AND the winemakers at each vineyard to help our guests understand how a premium wine is created from the vineyard to the bottle and the important steps that need to occur along the way. It is our desire to show the importance of the relationship between the grower and ther winery and how their dialogue sets the stage for high-quality wine production. As usual, the Vineyard Tour is an educational program that allows wine industry members as well as the general public to visit many of the Calaveras vineyards which contribute to the rise of the impact of region on the wine-drinking world. At each stop there will be discussions about every aspect of vineyard operations that affect wine-quality and land stewardship with topics ranging from pest management, irrigation, fertilization, cover-croping, canopy management and other cultural practices. A general wrap-up of the day will be given by our guest specialists at the evening BBQ. Our guest specialist, Glenn McGourty, is a seasoned expert in Organic and Biodynamic Winegrape production with a down-to-earth and practical approach to farming. Tour Specialist Lynn Wunderlich represents UCCE in the Central Sierra region and las worked tirelessly to help Foothill growers make their mark on the California wine map. The vineyard tour registration fee is $25/person and includes lunch. You may drive your own car or shuttle service is available for an additional $30 per person (limited to 24 passengers). Since we will be pouring tastings at several vineyards and due to restricted access to some vineyards, we strongly recommended everyone take the bus. If you will be following in your own car and plan to taste wine, please have a designated driver...

An opportunity to work: Community Support, How Local Businesses Support The Arc's Work Crews
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/22/2014 01:46 PM
Amador County, Ca....Work crews at the Arc are paid group work opportunities in the community. All workers earn minimum wage and gain the skills needed to prepare them for individual job placements within the community. Crew members are held to a high standard. They must arrive to work on time, come dressed in crew attire, follow directions and follow safety rules and regulation set forth by each company we work for. In the past work crews use to use two vans and two trailers for recycling crews during the summer months. This year we purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram truck, eliminating the use of two vans down to one truck. This has been great for day programs as now they have the use of all their vans for classes and outings. Not only did the purchase of the truck increase the opportunity for campus outings in both Amador and Calaveras, but it saves the Arc money on a weekly basis. "We're very proud of the new work crew truck," said Director of Supported Employment Ileshia Knigge. "It bring cost saving strategy, keeps our day program vans clean, and consumers are very proud of it, it was a great decision and I'm happy our Executive Director and Board of Directors supported the purchase."...

Summer Storms Mean Beautiful and Powerful Displays of Nature
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/22/2014 12:59 PM
Bear Valley and Lake Alpine, Ca... This past weekend, as many experienced, there were quite the summer storms occurring. While the rain was welcome, the lightning made everyone wary. However, for a couple of visitors to our beautiful area, the lightning made for a fantastic photo op. Ryan Schill, from Cupertino, captured an amazing lightning strike while staying at cabin in Bear Valley, and reported that the rain quickly put out the fire that the lightning started. Rachael Manners was staying in a cabin in Pacific Valley, and drove to Lake Alpine, where she was able to snap a few photos of the lightning storm above the mountains.

Beating the Heat in the Gold Country - Huffington Post "In The Gold Country" Feature
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/22/2014 12:32 PM
Mokelumne Hill, Ca - The Hotel Leger, a few hours out of the Bay Area, hasn't changed all that much from the gold rush. And local bands in the bars on weekend are probably a tradition as old as the hotel. I have to admit, for those of us who live any reasonable distance off of Main Street, after awhile you learn to either enjoy it, wander over for a glass of wine to check it out, or on "open mike" night, put Pandora on your TV at home and turn it up a bit. It's okay. We support it around here. We love our old hotel. But on Sundays during the summer, between 1 and 4, we throw our windows open. Or work in the garden. Or wander over to the hotel for a pulled pork sandwich. Sunday afternoons are Blues and Barbecue at the hotel....

CDCR Partners with San Francisco Sheriff for New Reentry Facility
Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 07/21/2014 12:30 PM
Sacramento, Ca —The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) signed a contract with the San Francisco County Sheriff to launch a pilot program to provide transitional services to state inmates immediately before their scheduled release. This program will help improve the inmates' prospects for rehabilitation. The county-owned Secure Reentry Program Facility, adjacent to the county jail, will house up to 56 male prison inmates whose sentences are almost up and are scheduled to return to San Francisco County within 60 days. The county will provide rehabilitative services such as education, pre-employment training, housing assistance, mental health and medical services, and substance abuse treatment. "We must be innovative in meeting the needs of offenders if we are going to reduce the number of those caught in the cycle of incarceration," CDCR Secretary Jeffrey Beard said. "This partnership is a progressive step toward connecting inmates with local services and meeting those needs." In 2013, the Legislature approved up to $5.4 million for CDCR to partner with select counties to connect offenders with local services that are proven to help successful reintegration into society, including securing identification cards and enrollment in health programs such as Medi-Cal. "The San Francisco Sheriff's Department is proud to be part of this unique partnership that enables us to create the Reentry Pod and amplify what it means to hold both the criminal justice system and those within our custody accountable toward the goal of reducing recidivism." San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said. "The Reentry Pod is not only about the rigor we put inmates through to prepare themselves for release, but to challenge our local approach to not throw away people once they leave our custody."...

There's finally enough snow to build the perfect snowman, but where do you start?
Just like in real estate, location is key. You don't want to build your snowman in the sun, so find a spot with a bit of shelter and make sure there's lots of snow beneath him or her, according to yahoo.com.
Do you roll or pack the snow? It's a matter of preference really, according to Yahoo.com. The site says you can roll the snow into a two-foot ball but it can be damp and cold. A key to this technique is to flatten the top of each ball before placing the next one on it, according to Pluggedin, on games.yahoo.com.
If you just want to put the snow in a pile then shape it, use a good shovel, the site advises.
Be creative with your snowman's features, weather.thefuntimesguilde.com says. Try using food coloring to add distinct features, like rosy cheeks.
Don't forget to get a photo of your snowman and add it to our photo gallery!

Fire crews from Mineral Wells, Graford and Lone Camp responded to a residential fire that destroyed a single-wide mobile home Thursday afternoon on Hideaway Acres Road.
The fire was reported about 2:30 p.m., but Palo Pinto County Fire Marshal Buddy Harwell said it had been burning for some time prior to the initial report.
"We lifted the burn ban [Wednesday]," he said. "A lot of people thought someone was just burning something."
By the time first responders arrived at the scene, Harwell said the blaze had consumed the home.
"It was gone when we got there," he said.
Fortunately, no one was home when the fire began, though he said homeowners did not have residential insurance.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation, Harwell added.
"They had problems with outlets in the past – not working right and tripping breakers," he said.

I'm having some computer issues too. I think I left a very important cable at home. Makes it hard to get online. Several crashes on this computer too. I think I figured out what the problem is. My ham radio & the serial-USB adapter are mounted next to each other in the back of my truck. Enough RF leakage traveled along the USB cable when the radio transmitted my position to cause the computer to shut off. A few wraps around a ferrite bead fixed it.
I've got some cool pics to post, but I'm running on battery power right now. They may have to wait.

Angel was a miniature horse that arrived at the clinic for colic surgery with her owner, Sara. Sara was a college student
who in her free time used Angel as a therapy pony for children with major disabilities. During the surgery Sara regaled us
with stories of kids who wouldn't interact with any species, human or otherwise, until Angel entered the picture.
The next morning Sara arrived at the clinic with her grandfather, who had driven the six hours from Dallas to support his
granddaughter. He was a well-educated, lucid man, with a faint accent resulting from his French origin and lifetime spent
in Australia. Sara had to go back to school, but Grandpa stayed with us an entire week at the clinic. Every couple of hours
he would take Angel out to graze and walk, regardless of the summer temperatures or time of day. He would stop to chat and
inform us of Angel's behavior, asking intelligent questions in his quiet and kind voice, but always at appropriate times and
never in an obnoxious manner. He also made a point of visiting with other clients bringing in critical cases and kept track
of how everyone was getting along. One evening Grandpa exclaimed that the "best part of getting old was helping his grandchildren"
and that anyone who went out of their way to help others like Sara was doing deserved to be supported as best as possible.
He said that he appreciated all we were doing, but that if he could help Angel get well by providing attention throughout
the day then he would stay as long as it took. While he enriched Angel's life so that she could go back to enriching the lives
of others, Grandpa also enriched ours while we worked around him through the days.
The most striking thing about it all was that Olivia arrived petrified of blood and pain. Over the ensuing days she became
my go-to helper, holding Marcus steady for his new catheters and blood draws, twitching him while we refluxed, faithfully
syringing Well-Gel and Bio-sponge, and overcoming her fears for the good of her horse, trusting that we were doing what was
best. Tears often welled in all of our eyes as Marcus went on a roller coaster of good and bad days, fighting with us as we
fought to help him. Ultimately, Marcus succumbed to the fate we were afraid of, but not without creating a strong bond between
Sarah and Olivia and all of us at the clinic.
Being a veterinarian is not a career but a lifestyle. The hours are not set, the outcomes are rarely certain and maintaining
the line between investing too much emotion or not enough can prove difficult. Angel and Grandpa, the Sara(h)s, Marcus and
Olivia represent those who make our lifestyle as veterinarians worth it at the end of the day. They make the triumphs sweeter,
the losses more painful, and they are, without a doubt, worth talking about.

From Helena IR:
Western artist, cartoonist, author Stan Lynde leaving Montana for Ecuador
In Hollywood movies, cowboys ride off into the sunset when they retire from gun slingin' and chasin' desperadoes.
But Western artist, author, and acclaimed cartoonist Stan Lynde and his wife Lynda have a more novel idea.
They're flying south as snow birds New Year's Eve, migrating to Ecuador, with plans to return each fall to Montana.
"We're off to adventure," said Lynde.
Lynde, 81, is known not only across Montana, but also nationally for his two popular syndicated Western cartoon strips, "Rick O'Shay" and "Latigo" that appeared in major newspapers reaching some 15 million readers.
