Local man killed by train
By CHRIS HARRIS, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
A man was apparently struck and killed by a train Tuesday evening near the West Columbia Street crossing, according to Somerset Police.
The man's identity was not made available by presstime Tuesday night, but Lt. Shannon Smith of SPD did confirm that it was a Somerset male in his 20s.
Smith noted that shortly before 8 p.m., responders received a call as reported by the Norfolk Southern train dispatcher, saying that the locomotive had collided with an individual on the tracks.
Law enforcement was given a location near the old Monticello Street underpass and responded there, approximately where the southbound train had come to a halt.
However, Smith himself had a better view of the scene as he was flying SPD's Guardian One gyroplane at the time. He spotted the victim — a good distance away from the area that was reported.
"I saw what looked like a person that was incapacitated," said Smith, who regularly pilots the aircraft to look for situations in town that patrol cars may not be able to see. "A second pass confirmed my suspicions. I was able to direct our units down to where they found the body."
Smith described the location as "due east" of Trinity Springs park, a short length away from West Columbia Street, on the Somerset Cemetery side of the road, the east side of the tracks.
"It was probably within five to 10 feet of the stopped train," said Smith. The end of the train was farther north, by the Ogden Street bridge. "It was a long train."
He recalled the last train-vs.-pedestrian victim as being hit near this same area — a young male was hit near the Monticello Street underpass in 2008 while walking near the tracks — and said that while it's difficult to ascertain at this time why the subject was in the way of the train this time, "typically people mistake which track the train is on and think they're in a safe position, or think they're far enough away that they won't be struck."
Smith did say that it was evident the victim was headed northbound on the track, while the train was going south.
"For whatever reason, he didn't see it; maybe he thought he was on a clean line, or a number of different things," said Smith. "The fact is, he shared the same track (as the train) despite going in converging directions."
Smith said that police will be working with railroad investigators to come to "some reasonable cause on why he was in position to be struck."
The stopped train was released at approximately 9:30 p.m.
Smith reminded pedestrians that the tracks and adjacent property belong to the railroad company are considered private property upon which it is illegal to trespass.
"People who walk on the tracks are committing a violation of the law by being on those tracks," said Smith, who said that many people who don't have cars use the tracks as a shortcut when walking from one place to another. "(Obeying the law) would prevent a large number of fatalities across the country."

Flash Mob Architecture
Jon Anne Willow, editor of Third Coast Digest, was standing outside, chatting with a colleague when she spotted a ruckus in a thin, forlorn triangular strip of gravel. It was a group of UWM architecture students -- a flash mob architectural installation.
Here's Jon Anne's telling of the tale.

---- — CARLISLE, Pa. — Plattsburgh native Gen. Glenn K. Otis, a 1953 West Point graduate and retired four-star general who received a Silver Star, two Purple Hearts and the Distinguished Service Cross, died Thursday.
Otis, who was born in Plattsburgh in 1929, passed away in Carlisle, Pa., where he lived in recent years. He was 83.
"For 20 years, we kept crossing paths," said Bill Manning, one of Otis's friends. "We went to Airborne training at the same time, to Vietnam at the same time, Germany, Korea … we were always very close friends."
In Vietnam, Otis distinguished himself during the Tet Offensive. In the 1980s, he served as the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army in Europe.
While Otis and Manning were away with the military, Otis's wife, Barbara Otis, and Manning's wife, Nancy Manning, lived in Plattsburgh and would visit one another almost every day, Bill Manning said.
"He was the most humble human being on the earth," Nancy Manning said.
Otis's military career lasted 42 years, Barbara Otis said. She said this made it almost as much her life as it was his.
"It was a very great life," she said about traveling around the world with her husband. She said she went everywhere with him that she was allowed to go, excluding the times he was activated to Vietnam and Korea.
"Other than that, I was there," she said.
One of the places the military took them was Germany for 12 years.
"It was a wonderful experience," she said.
They spent 60 years together. She said it was her husband's thoughtfulness that set him aside from the rest.
"He always put himself last," she said.
The Otises and their children, Peter Otis, Caren Otis and Nancee Groh, spent summers in the North Country on Lake Champlain.
"His hometown is his roots," Caren Otis said.
She said that when she was asked where her hometown was, it always felt right to say Plattsburgh.
Barbara Otis said they currently own a home on Route 9 near Ausable Point.
"Just being able to look at the lake was a great experience," Barbara Otis said.
Bill Manning said he and Glenn Otis would reconnect up north where they grew up together by kayaking in the Adirondacks, fishing in Lake Champlain and golfing.
When it came to Otis's separation of work and family, Caren Otis said he was consistent with his expectations, especially toward honesty.
"Bottom line: Dad was one of the few people I've met in my life where what you see is what you get," Caren Otis said.
She said he was very humble about his accomplishments, which made it easy for people to talk to and relate to him.
"He just had a way about him. People wanted to stay in contact with him," she said.
She said he was also humble about was his faith. While he believed strongly in his religion, he was also quiet about his faith and instead lead by example.
Bill Manning said that as Otis progressed in rank over the years, everyone continued to respect and admire him.
"He was a soldier's soldier."

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Niagara-Wheatfield, which opens its doors to students for the start of a new school year this morning, has seen better days. Even its new superintendent recognizes the struggles everyone in the district faces.
It's why Lynn Marie Fusco is looking for answers from the best available place. She's asking the people.
In her greeting written on the district's webpage, Fusco asks viewers — presumably parents and students — to answer three pressing questions relating to the future of the district. Ranging from determining pressing needs this upcoming year to identifying the aspects parents want to see remain no matter what, the survey is designed to inform the new superintendent about the situation she walked into when she accepted the job this past spring.
"It takes a lot of communication to fix this," she said. "We're getting a better grasp of what (problems exist). The next question is 'How?' That's easy, because everyone wants to tell you."
The district webpage is available by visiting www.nwcsd.k12.ny.us
As she's identifying the solutions people want to see, she said she needs to continue dealing with challenges of the real world she faces. Over the last three years, money has become the district's enemy, through questionable accounting practices exposed by a pair of external audits and an unfriendly state budget holding promised funding in Albany.
So using the information parents and students submit to her is going to present her with new issues, as the wants and desires need to be scaled back to meet the means of providing education.
Still, she's remaining positive in her first year in Bergholz.
"Designing the how has to be a collaborative effort," she said. "How do we preserve the things people say are valuable and how do we address the concerns? That's going to be a significant challenge. I don't want to minimize what we're facing, but I do want to maximize what people are sharing in order to move the district forward."
Her intention through the process is to forget about the past. The district has seen a multimillion-dollar surplus evaporate in a handful of years, which has seen former superintendent Carl Militello retire amid calls for his dismissal, a proposed 9.9 percent property tax levy increase defeated and an interim superintendent and an interim business manager attempt to keep the district afloat before this past year's budget proposal again failed at the polls.
The mentality throughout the district, as more than 80 employees have been laid off or had employment reduced in the past two years, has been one of survival. Fusco said it has to change.
"When you're in survivalmode, you need to get to the next level, where there's more hope," she said.
Some hope may be arriving in the form of a full-time business manager. The district identified its choice to take over the district's finances, as the school board approved Allison Brady to lead the money department.
Brady, who'll begin Sept. 30 because she needs to provide 30 days notice to her current employer, the Barker Central School District, will receive a prorated salary of $107,000 for the year.
As part of her employment, Brady will also be responsible for 15 percent of her health insurance premium, with the other 85 percent covered by the district.
"Her knowledge of school finances is second to none," board President Steve Sabo said.
The board will hold its next regular meeting at 7 p.m. tonight in the adult learning center of the high school, 2292 Saunders Settlement Road, Lewiston.Contact reporter Timothy Chipp at 282-2311, ext. 2251 or follow on Twitter @timchipp.

The Port Arthur News
Those passing through Port Arthur along 9th Avenue in front of Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams Elementary School and Memorial High School would be able to drive a little bit faster in the coming weeks. But don't speed just yet.
The Port Arthur City Council passed an ordinance at its Tuesday night meeting that would raise the speed limit to 35 mph throughout the school zone on 9th Avenue. The school zone speed limit was established at 20 mph.
The Texas Department of Transportation does not recommend setting a school zone speed limit above 35 mph in rural or urban areas, according to its state highway speed zone manual.
The Port Arthur Police Department advised the council to raise the speed limit in order to alleviate the flow of traffic along 9th Avenue during the mornings and afternoons, said Chief of Police Mark Blanton.
The school zone is effective during the hours of 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m. on school days.
Blanton said the department met with the school district and Deputy Superintendent Mark Porterie about possibly raising the school zone speed limit. Neither the school district nor the police department believed there was enough foot traffic coming and going from Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams Elementary to deter the increase in speed, he said.
The ordinance must be published in the News at least once within 10 days after the ordinance passed Nov. 27, and it would be effective immediately after the date of publication, according to the ordinance.
Traffic may be changing along 46th Street and state Highway 73, as well, with the drilling of a newly approved oil well.
The City Council approved a resolution Tuesday, permitting the drilling of an oil well between Central Baptist Church and FivePoint Credit Union on Highway 73. Tri-C Resources Inc., a Houston-based oil and gas exploration company, would construct and drill the well.
Tri-C Resources would drill the well about 11,800 feet below ground, but the bottom of the well would be about 200 feet from the Walmart on Twin City Highway. Central Baptist owns the property on which the drilling site sits.
But Central Baptist would not be the only entity benefiting from this exploratory well. The city stands to benefit from any discovery of oil on the site, for it owns mineral rights for that patch of land, said Benjamin Balagia, representative from Tri-C Resources, during a Nov. 9 public hearing.
The estimated drilling time is about 30 days, Balagia said. And Tri-C Resources has met all of the requirements established by Chapter 66 of the city's code of ordinances, according to the drilling permit ordinance. The company posted two surety bonds for $25,000 and $450,000 as part of a heavy haul permit in case 46th Street is damaged as a result of the construction of the well.

Full-time students are also eligible to participate in clubs and organizations and are eligible for housing at FIT.
When can I apply?
Students interested in applying for Spring can apply August 1st – October 1st for our Advertising and Marketing Communications, Advertising and Marketing Communications One-Year, Fashion Merchandising Management, or Fashion Merchandising Management One-Year associates degree programs or our Advertising and Marketing Communications, International Trade and Marketing, and Fashion Merchandising Management bachelor degree programs.

What classes do you suggest to help me with my portfolio for Fashion Design?
We recommend the following courses to help you develop pieces for a portfolio: FF111 – Fashion Art and Design I and FD131-Sewing Techniques I.
What is a transfer student?
A transfer student is a student who has completed credits at another accredited institution that may apply to a degree program at FIT. If you have completed credits somewhere else and are applying to FIT, you would be applying as a transfer student.
Can I meet with someone before I apply to see what credits will transfer?
No. Transfer credits are evaluated once a student is accepted.
How do I know if I need to take the TOEFL exam? What are the TOEFL requirements?
Students whose native language is not English must provide an official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score whether or not they have been living in the United States. Students who have completed less than four years of English (not ESL) at a U.S. high school are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS. The minimum TOEFL score requirement depends on which test format you are using: Internet-based (ibt) test: minimum score must be 80; Computer-based test: minimum score must be 213; Paper-based test: minimum score must be550.

You will need:
For the Aioli
For the Calamari:
1. Create the aioli: Place bra or other stretchy female garment on head, proceed to step 2.
2. Rinse mixing bowl with warm water and dry thoroughly.
3. Place yolks in mixing bowl and whisk till smooth and creamy. Throw head back and laugh like mad scientist.
4. Add the garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and the wine vinegar and continue whisking feverishly.
5. Continue whisking as though madly possessed by your new abilities to create life, adding half the olive oil very slowly. (The mixture should begin to grow and emulsify.)
6. After half the oil has been used, add the lemon juice; then whisk in the remaining oil. If the mixture seems a little too thick, whisk in a splash of ice water; if too thin, whisk in a little more olive oil.
7. Add the chopped parsley, taste and adjust seasonings as desired; cover and refrigerate.
8. Create the Calamari: Wrestle the squid to work area (or just pull the package from the fridge). Slice into 1/2"- 1/4" inch rings. (If the tentacles are large, cut them in half lengthwise first.) Rinse with cold water and dry very well with paper towels or in a salad spinner.
9. Heat 4 inches of oil in a heavy saucepan or fryer to 340-350?F.
10. Mix together the crumbs and oregano. Dust a handful of squid lightly with flour, shaking off the excess in a strainer; dip in the egg wash and dredge in the bread crumbs. (If you prefer a lighter coating on the Calamari, omit the egg wash and bread crumbs and fry with just the flour coating.)
11. Frying in batches, add the Calamari to the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden, and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the squid is cooked. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon and the aioli.
12. After you've completed this experiment, roll up the sleeves on your stained and splattered lab coat and bask in the glory of your creations. Will everyone realize what a great culinary genius you really are? (Or will they still make you do the dishes?)

California frost devastates grape crop
- Tuesday 3 May 2011
Image courtesy Ron Bez Photography, www.ronbez.com
With freezing temperatures between 8 and 10 April, initial estimates indicate a 30-50% crop loss, according to the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.
'The length of time temperatures were at or below freezing on April 8, 9 and 10 was the greatest the region has experienced in the last 10 years,' Stacie Jacob, the Alliance's executive director told Decanter.com.
'Although growers have a wide array of best management practices, which were fully executed, Mother Nature was in full control,' she added.
'God was upset with us this spring,' Tobin James, owner of Tobin James Cellars in Paso Robles said.
Many earlier varieties like Pinot Noir and white grapes were affected, he told Decanter.com. According to the Western Farm Press, some vineyards may not have a single crop to harvest this fall due to the frost.
The is working with the industry to assess the full damage, said Jacob. 'There may be federal support for growers if the situation is officially classed a disaster. We won't know this until May or June, once reporting is complete and the full impact is understood.'

CEDAR — In his 1951 speech before Congress, Gen. Douglas MacArthur quoted an old army ballad, saying, "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Col. John Barton "Bart" Collings faded away Nov. 24, 2012 after an amazing life full of history spanning 98 years.
Col. Collings spent the majority of his last 40 years in Leelanau County raising rainbow trout in Solon Township. He ran the Alpine Trout Ponds until 2002 when he retired at 89. Many hundreds of people came to fish the ponds over the years. Most were avid trout lovers; but many also came in the hopes of hearing the stories "The Col" would tell of an extraordinary life. At times people would ask themselves, "Can all this be true? Can one person have experienced this much history in his life?"
A few were invited to see the evidence as much of it had been chronicled in a large scrapbook that the Col's father had assembled.
John Barton Collings was born in Detroit on May 18, 1914 to John Henry Beckett Collings and Helen Spiece Collings. He attended Howe Military Academy through sixth grade and transferred to Cranbrook School for Boys in Bloomfield Hills in the seventh grade as one of its charter students.
He graduated from Cranbrook in 1933. During the 1920's and 1930's, he spent his boyhood summers in Leelanau at his family's cottage on Glen Lake. He attended Michigan State University where he was on the college wrestling team. While at Michigan State, he was known as a rabble rouser and was a ring leader in one of the first student riots in the United States. The UAW was trying to shut down East Lansing businesses and restaurants. Bart led several thousand students in a revolt against the union, blocking the union leaders from entering East Lansing. The group threw the Union bosses into the Red Cedar River and kept East Lansing open. While attending college, Collings took ROTC training and joined the Horse Cavalry, which later became the Armored Division.
Tall, intelligent and tough talking, with a square jaw and a military bearing, Bart caught the eye of visiting Gen. Willis D. Crittenberger, a close friend of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. After Bart graduated, Gen. Crittenberger arranged to have him assigned as his aide at Fort Benning, Ga. During his time there, he was loaned as an aide to a senior general by the name of George Patton. Bart served Gen. Patton for six months. Col. Collings would often reflect that Gen. Patton was a "tough SOB" who had a high pitched voice and would command then Capt. Collings to "be wherever I am going to be, before I even know I have to be there."
Bart Collings trained as a parachutist and entered World War II by parachuting into North Africa with Gen. Mark Clark's 5th Army. He then participated in the invasion of Italy landing in Anzio and driving the German Army out of the Italian peninsula. During the Italian campaign, Bart was awarded the Bronze Star for Heroism and was promoted to major.
Maj. Collings transferred to Gen. Patton's unit and pushed through to Germany where he was involved in liberating the concentration camp at Buchenwald. As the war was ending, he became the acting military governor of Erfurt, Germany with responsibility for relocating the survivors of Buchenwald, many of whom were Russians.
During this time, he met his first wife, Nathalie Sergueiew, who was assigned as his interpreter. Lily had been born in Russia prior to the Bolshevik revolution and in 1917 had fled with her family from St. Petersburg to Paris to escape assassination. During the war Lily had worked as a double agent, starting first with the German Military Intelligence, the Abwehr. She was sent to England where she immediately offered her services to the British. She became part of Operation Fortitude which was set up to deceive the Germans into believing the Allied D-Day Invasion would land at the Pas de Calais rather than Normandy. The Germans fell for the deception and kept their main forces at Calais while the Allied Forces landed on the beaches of Normandy.
Her story has recently been published in a new book entitled, Double Cross, by Ben MacIntyre. Bart and Lily were married in Paris in 1946.
Maj. Collings was also assigned to the Historical Division to write the history of World War II from the German officers' perspective. Collings interviewed many of the commanding German generals on their orders and missions during the war. After his tour he returned with his wife to Leelanau Country for the next four years. Lily died in 1951 of kidney failure.
Collings later married June Alice Lake from Grand Rapids. He went back on active duty as a Lt. Col. and in 1952 was assigned as a military advisor to Gen. Chiang kai-shek in Formosa (Taiwan) where he spent two years helping to train the Chinese Nationalist Army. Chiang had fled communist forces in mainland China in 1950 and established Nationalist China in Formosa. The United States immediately recognized Formosa and sent military equipment and advisors there. His wife and children joined him in 1953.
In 1956, Lt. Col. Collings was transferred to the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. to work on the Redstone Missile guidance system under Dr. Wernher von Braun, the developer of the German V-2 rockets.
Collings was trained in the development of missile systems and spent the next several years in the only space program then active in the U. S.
The Army Ballistic Military Agency (ABMA) would have put up the first satellite in 1956 with the Jupiter C rocket if the U.S. Government had allowed it. As it was, the Soviets launched Sputnik in October 1957 to the great embarrassment of the United States. In January 1958, the ABMA launched the first US satellite, the Exporer I on a Jupiter C. Shortly thereafter, the government cancelled the ABMA and created NASA to manage the U.S. space program.
Following a promotion to a full colonel, Collings' next assignment was to serve as a military advisor to the Shah of Iran in Teheran, Iran. He and his family lived in Teheran for two years. As an artillery officer, Col. Collings' role was to train the Iranians in the use of heavy weapons. Of all his military assignments, this was his least favorite. He found the Iranian's military undisciplined and difficult.
The Colonel ended his military career as Post Commander of Fort Hayes in Columbus, Ohio in 1962. He turned down a promotion to Brig. Gen. with another tour. Instead he moved his family back to his home in Leelanau County.
The Colonel then built and operated the Alpine Trout Ponds in Solon Township. He sold rainbow trout around northern Michigan as well as opening his ponds for public fishing. He also personally built all of the chalet type buildings on the property. He often stated that his time in Leelanau were the most peaceful years of his life.
The Colonel was also an advocate of holding the government accountable for fair and reasonable taxation. In the 1970's with property taxes increasing dramatically, he helped organize Leelanau County and other northern counties to protest against the State Tax Tribunal for their assessment practices. He was a proponent of the Headlee Amendment that limited property tax increases to the inflation rate. It is still in force.
Col. Collings is survived by his three children, J. B. Collings, Jr. of Traverse City, Michele Jimeson of Grand Rapids and Toubo Collings of Oakland, Calif.; two grandchildren, Nicolette Sakata of Seattle, Wash. and James Behne of Cedar as well as one great grandchild, Kasey Sakata.
A service to honor and celebrate Col. Collings life will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home where friends may being calling at 1 p.m. Burial will be in Solon Township Cemetery with military rites.
The family would request that Col. Collings be remembered through memorial donations to Cherryland Humane Society, 1750 Ahlberg Road, Traverse City, 49686. Please share memories, thoughts and condolences with the family by way of the Colonel's on line guest book at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com
The family is being served by Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Lafayette on La Fayette
May 7, 2007 12:00 AM
Blink can never get enough Lafayette. TV5Monde, the French-language cable channel, was named media sponsor of a yearlong celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Marquis de La Fayette in Lafayette, La., where TV5Monde appears on Cox Cable's channel 270. Lafayette, in Bayou country, will be holding special events featuring food, music, art, history and culture to honor its namesake, the French nobleman who assisted George Washington during the American Revolution. Around the Marquis' birthday in September, the channel will air several original films and documentaries about him. It also is producing an original CD-ROM about the influence La Fayette had on the U.S. that will be available free in both English and French versions to public schools in Louisiana and across America. "We are grateful that our programming partner TV5Monde has agreed to reach out and assist the Lafayette region in paying tribute to a gentleman who played a major role in the history of our country," said Jacqui Vines, regional VP and general manager of Cox Greater Louisiana.

SALISBURY, N.C. -- Investigators now have surveillance video that might provide a clue as to what happened to missing teen Erica Parsons.
The video is from surveillance cameras mounted around a home across the street from where Erica was last known to have been living with her adoptive parents.
NBC Charlotte has learned that investigators have reviewed the video from the cameras, some of which dates back two years to the time when Erica was last seen at the house.
The owners of the home with the cameras did not want to be identified. They said that investigators have kept four video recordings but the couple doesn't know what, if anything, the cameras showed.
The owners said at least one of the cameras provided a picture of the Parsons' home and their driveway.
The adoptive parents, Casey and Sandy Parsons, have said that two years ago they took Erica to stay with a grandmother who lived in Asheville.
Investigators have said they do not believe that story is true and have not commented on the video and what it might show.

By JEFF MEYERS
PLATTSBURGH -- Carl Roberts was enjoying a pleasant evening with friends Thursday while fishing at Wilcox Dock.
They had been casting their lines since 6 p.m. and had caught quite a few perch, but the fish unexpectedly stopped biting around 8 p.m.
The wind was calm, the sun was still shining above the western horizon, and Lake Champlain was as tranquil as could be.
But then, a movement out on the lake caught the angler's attention. Something in the water was moving rapidly from left to right about 100 yards beyond the dock.
"It had to be 50 feet long, from what I could see of the humps (rising above the lake surface)," Roberts said Friday morning as he recalled the unusual sighting, still energized with excitement from the experience.
"There was no wind, no boats, no explanation whatsoever. It was so close that I could see the texture of the skin."
His girlfriend, Randy Patnode, was nearby talking to her grandmother on her cell phone. Roberts called to her, telling her to get a picture of the creature before it moved out of sight, but her cell phone was low on power and prevented her from getting a shot.
Still, the group watched the object as it continued to move toward the peninsula just south of Wilcox Dock.
"It didn't move like a snake," said Roberts, owner of Adirondack Birch Worx furniture shop in Plattsburgh. "It was not like a porpoise or dolphin, either. It moved straight and fast, with its bumps up high and then down lower in the water.
"I've never seen anything like it before," he added, noting that he grew up on Cumberland Head and has seen 20-foot lake sturgeon close up before.
The creature's skin was "whale-like," he said, and had a shiny greenish black tint to it.
As the object moved toward the peninsula, it suddenly dropped below the surface and did not appear again, one solitary wave slowly inching toward shore from where it had been.
Roberts said he has never really believed in the Lake Champlain monster and stopped short of saying that this was Champ. But it was definitely not something normal, he said.
"It was no log, no boat, no animal I've seen before. I just can't believe it. I couldn't sleep because of it."
Roberts, Patnode and their friend Lincoln Collins were the only three on the southern edge of Wilcox Dock. Several other people were on the northern edge, facing Georgia-Pacific, but did not see the creature, Roberts said.
The trio continued to fish for another hour or so, but the perch that had been so abundant earlier had disappeared.
"I know one thing," Roberts said. "I'm not swimming in this lake again."
This is the second Champ-like sighting within the last few days. Eric Olsen, a Vermont man, posted a video on YouTube of something he had seen on the Burlington waterfront Sunday.
In that video, a blurry clip shows a swimming animal raising its head above water several times before dropping from sight.
Roberts knew about that video and said he "wasn't trying to jump on the bandwagon" but that he and his friends definitely saw something unusual Thursday night.

Governor Mario M. Cuomo is of counsel to the Corporate and Financial Services Department and Litigation Department of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in New York. Mr. Cuomo specializes in litigation, corporate transactions, and special corporate investigations.
In 2013 The New York Law Journal named Governor Cuomo recipient of its "Lifetime Achievement Award" in recognition of his career accomplishments and the profound impact he has made on the law, in New York's legal community and as New York State's Governor.
Selected Professional and Business Activities
Mr. Cuomo continues to pursue his wide-ranging interest in public policy. He accepts a limited number of lecture engagements each year, as well as some television and radio appearances. In his newest book, Why Lincoln Matters, Today More Than Ever, published in 2004 by Harcourt, Inc., Mr. Cuomo brings to life the contemporary relevance of Lincoln's message for today's hot-button issues. Mr. Cuomo also authored Reason to Believe, published in 1995, and republished in an updated version in 1996, describing the challenges facing us today and pointing the way to workable answers. Additional publications authored by Mr. Cuomo include More than Words (1993), a collection of some of his most famous speeches; The New York Idea: An Experiment in Democracy (1994), the success story of the Empire State; Lincoln on Democracy (1990), a volume Mr. Cuomo co-edited that brings together for the first time all of Abraham Lincoln's speeches, writings, and conversations on the central theme of American political life; Diaries of Mario Cuomo (1984), which describes his first campaign for Governor; and the Forest Hills Diary (1974), a description of the experiences that led him into public life. Editions of Lincoln on Democracy have appeared in Polish, Japanese and Hebrew.
Prior Experience
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Cuomo was elected New York State's 52nd Governor in 1982 and won re-election in both 1986 and 1990, setting records for popularity in both contests. He was the longest serving democratic governor in the modern history of New York State and won the two largest electoral victories ever. In twelve years at the helm of the nation's most populous state, Governor Cuomo steered the state through two recessions, balanced 12 consecutive budgets and created more than half a million jobs. He launched the largest economic development initiative in New York history, spurring private sector growth through billions of dollars of public investment in infrastructure enhancements and the creation of an unparalleled network of high-tech research facilities. During Mr. Cuomo's tenure, foreign investment in New York almost doubled and thousands of new export opportunities were created for New York firms. He furthered the national debate on economic policy and trends through the findings of the Cuomo Commission on Trade and Competitiveness -- The Cuomo Commission Report (1988) and America's Agenda: Rebuilding Economic Strength (1992).
A March 2007 Marist College poll of 641 registered voters were asked whether they thought various governors were good. Governor Cuomo, a Democrat, received a 74 percent favorable rating above those received by Governors Pataki, Carey and Rockefeller.
Mr. Cuomo entered private practice in 1958 with the firm Corner, Weisbrod, Froeb & Charles. He served thirteen years as an adjunct professor at St. John's University School of Law and clerked for New York State's highest court, the Court of Appeals, under Judge Adrian P. Burke. Mr. Cuomo continued to practice law until 1975 when he was appointed by Governor Hugh Carey as New York's Secretary of State. In 1978, he was elected Lieutenant Governor, a position he held until going on to win the governorship in 1982.
Mr. Cuomo reentered private practice at Willkie in 1995. He is the former Co-Chairman and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.

Im looking for a decent RF control for my D7000 i am currently using the ML l3 but there are distance and bright light limitations due to infra red . any have any luck with these that you could recommend ??Ive found 1 on amazon made by Neewer for 12 bucks but the cheap price scares me !!! any and all suggestions greatly appreciated
BW- Big Wayner My motocross kid is faster than your A student !!
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Hello Hank,The Nikon remote does have a serious limitation of distance. Around 5 meters maximum due to infrared technology. I have purchased a Pixel RW-221TX wireless remote control, due to it operating on radio frequencies it has a 100 m range which more than covers my needs of a range around 20 - 30 meters. It has 4 modes, single shot, multiple shot, bulb and timer. There is a small led light which sits on the receiver on the hot shoe which confirms operation. It's a bit more expensive but it works really well and at a good distance.
Most of the inexpensive remotes available on eBay that are made in China work well. The model you're looking at has limited functions which probably explains the lower price. Many of the remotes come with a delay function and multiple release function which you may not care about anyway, since you can set them on the camera. Pixel, Neewer, Phottix; they all work ok. You may want to visit their websites to see the range of models they offer. Perhaps you'll find one with extra functions that you think are worth a little extra expense.
Visit my gallery.

Former college basketball coach Rick Majerus passed away on Saturday night, according to multiple reports, including the Twitter account of his former assistant, Porter Moser. The cause of death is not immediately known, but Majerus stepped away from his job as the coach of the Saint Louis Billikens this past August to deal with heart issues. He announced on Nov. 16 that he would not be returning. He was 64 years old.
Majerus was most famous for his tenure as the head coach of the Utah Utes. He held the job from 1989 to 2004, making the NCAA Tournament 10 times during that span. The high point of his career was when the Utes reached the NCAA National Championship Game in 1998, where they fell to Kentucky. He compiled a 323-95 record at Utah, and had a career record of 517-215 between stops at Marquette, Ball State, Utah, and St. Louis.
Majerus was also an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks for one season, as well as assistant coach for the U.S. Men's National Team, winning a FIBA Gold Medal at the 1994 World Championships. He also spent several seasons working as an analyst for ESPN.

Any opinions/experiences you can share re: Wyckoff & Associates? I know they're on SAM's list but can't find more details about the agency.
|Harrison Ford
They used to be a stellar bicoastal agency called Epstein Wyckoff and Associates but something went wrong about eight years ago and they've fallen on hard times. The New York office is gone and Wyckoff and Associates is now just a one man shop in the Valley. I hear there really aren't any associates. It's just Wyckoff and an assistant. So the name of the company isn't accurate. But I'm sure he's still connected and able to do the job on a certain level...

|Jack Nicholson
Do you have a meeting? Report back on this one man force.
Thank you SAM! Will report back on meeting asap.
|Morgan Freeman
Any updates to share? I have a meeting set up with him for when I get into LA in a couple weeks - would love to know your experiences.
|Harrison Ford
This is what bugs me! When people never follow-up on their posts.
Secret Agent Man
Back Stage Columnist
|Kevin Bacon
SAM, maybe he was whisked away by aliens in the middle of the night. Or he left this world in some other way. Can't think of any other reason for a responsible actor to not follow-up.
|Morgan Freeman
Well, I will report back on my meeting. If anyone else has anything to share on meetings with Wyckoff, please do so!
|Morgan Freeman
So I just got back from meeting with Craig. Awesome guy - very friendly and up front. I was there for over an hour and we chatted about everything from Toronto life to LA life and everything in between. His approach is a little different - he's not interested in submitting his actors for 2 lines on a show, so if you are looking for that type of career where you get a line here and a line there, he's not for you. He's really interested in long term development. He did say that means fewer auditions but when you do get an audition, it's because it's something he really feels is right for you. It was my first meeting since arriving here a whole 5 days ago and it was great.
|Jack Nicholson
Are you waiting to hear from him or are you pretty much gonna sign with him?
|Morgan Freeman
So Craig is shutting his doors. He is keeping some of his clients and will continue to work with them but in a manager capacity. He is now focusing on producing and has a film in development. That's all I know. Met with him today and he filled me in.
