What a rollicking morning. The defense team chewed through Agent Shuck's testimony like wood chipper would chew through a ficus plant. And the Honorable Nancy Edmunds let justice take it's course. Can't say I blame the defense for going after her for "forgetting" on the one hand, then all of a sudden "remembering" when it was a prosecutor asking her questions.
But the government bounced back big time with a barrage of text messages clearly outlining collusion.
M.L. Elrick will have the high and low-lights tonight on Fox 2 news. And I can't wait to read his unique take on MyFoxDetroit later tonight.
Shea introduces a document into evidence. Says this is the schedule for the mayor the week of January 28 2002. Says page one shows us his activities, goes through he week, asks if there are more activities, and on Saturday Feb 1 he's at the super bowl. Shea says it confirms that the Super bowl was that weekend and the Mayor attended it. Yes Shea says this was to gather info for the bowl Detroit was going to host. Beeckman says it sounds logical.
Shea asks if other government agencies would send people. True. Shea asks if sometimes people would go who were not government employees. Sure.
And Judge Edmunds says we're done for the day... we'll be back Thursday. Then asks to see council at sidebar.
Beeckman reads more texts, between Bobby and Kwame. Kwame is talking about Bobby sounding bothered. Chutkow has no more questions.
John Shea is up now for Bernard Kilpatrick. Asks about Kwame flying down to a meeting in Florida. Asks about staying away from "that little guy." Asks if Bernard has no clue who Kwame is talking about. Beeckman says that's right.
Shea asks about the Chicago reference, asks if he knows Bernard had a client in Chicago. Beeckman says yes.
Shea asks about the part where they talk about Ferris State. Asks if it's due north of Grand Rapids like flint is due north of Ann Arbor. Beeckman says Ferris is about an hour drive north, he's not so sure about Flint an Ann arbor.
Shea asks if he got lost of calls on tape. Yes,
Shea asks about Aug 7 2007 between Bernard and Bobby, says they're talking about a Chene park event and that Bernard wants to borrow money. Beeckman says I don't know about borrow but he's asking for money. Shea says Bobby is not expecting the call. True. Not a scheduled encounter, nothing where Bobby agrees to give him money. Correct.
Shea says Bernard tells him just in case. Beeckman says yes.
Shea says there's no evidence Bernard got he money. No.
All this was evident in the tape. What you don't hear is the tone in which Bernard asks for the money, he's not shy, he doesn't appear to be asking for a favor. His tone is that of someone who does this all the time and expects to be accommodated.
Beeckman read more texts talking about Bobby handling Darci well, kicking the shit out of her, and Beatty saying she thinks the Detroit News Reporter went away, she hasn't heard a peep. Beeckman then reads that Kwame is going to have his media guy start snooping around.
Chutkow now puts up a message talking about Crain's reporter asking if FEI gave sash contributions to Kwame's campaign. Bobby tells Kwame he said no. Beeckman says this refers to Ferguson giving money to his employees and relatives to contribute to the campaign fund.
Chutkow asks if the checks in evidence were handed out at the time Bobby told the Crain's reporter he was just doing grass roots fundraiser. Yes.
Next text:
Bobby: I've got my passport, let's get the fuck out of the country.
Kwame: Cool.
Bobby: black man its done.... cash'
Beeckman says they're talking about campaign contributions.
Now they're looking at texts talking about buying super bowl tickets that Kwame wants Bobby to buy.
Bobby tells him the safe is in the closet, gives him the code and tells him he can get the money.
Chutkow puts up a text between Beatty and Bobby.
Same day as previous text.
Beatty: do you want to go with Mayor to Jerome Bettis cook out.
Bobby: yes
Beatty says: Now, bring the loot...."
Beeckman reads more texts talking about Bobby bringing money to Kwame.
Kwame is just sitting back and laughing, like he can't believe he's hearing , Bobby is stone faced.
This barrage of texts just bring a barrage of words to mind; conspiring, colluding, planning, scheming. The intent of the prosecution is clear, leave the jury with the final thought of criminal conspiracy. The shear arrogance of the messages, the confidence of the those sending them, is outrageous.
Judge Edmunds steps up the bench, tells the lawyers they can't stay past 1:00pm today and that Rataj will have a lot or cross. Looks like the prosecution will not be able to rest today after all.
The jury is in, the Judge tells the Jury we won't be finished but we will get tomorrow off anyway. Beeckman will be the last defense witness so Judge Edmunds says we'll finish up with him Thursday morning before the defense takes over.
Chutkow says he's got another message that goes to the RICO conspiracy chapter.
Beeckman reads Bobby text: Darci Detroit news just call me about DDA. Beeckman says that's the downtown development authority.
Mayor replies don't call her back,
Bobby says damn I already did I never call them back but I knew what she wanted and played dumb but also if you sit on the board you have to recuse yourself.
Kwame you shouldn't have said shit.
Beckons says if you sit on the board you need to recuse yourself from voting on the DDA board and Bobby did recuse himself.
Beeckman reads another march 2004 text
bobby: Darci is asking me if we're friends and do we travel together and do we talk on the phone.
Mayor: don't confirm none of that. I am someone you support. You think I am doing a great job.
Bobby: Hell no, I just told her we are friends she know that.
Kwame: Tell Darci I used to be her friend. If anyone had asked me 3 years ago I would have said she was my friend.
Judge is taking a 5 minute break
Chutkow is now barraging the jury with text message after message between Bobby and Kwame, or Bobby and Beatty, or Derrick Miller, tying the texts to contracts, talking about getting Bobby in on the contracts or holding up the contracts, or booting out other contractors. They're also tying the texts to meetings we hear about in previous testimony, like the time Bobby was in having lunch with the Lakeshore guys when they were asking Bobby what he wanted them to do so he'd stop killing their contracts.
Chutkow now plays a message from Kwame saying Hasn't been let. "Will tell you strategy later." They're talking about a housing project.
It's clear from these text messages that Kwame was an active participant in the plotting.
Chutkow now show texts between Beatty and Kwame. Betty is asking who put all the black folks in this deal. Kwame says he did. When Beatty asks him why not Bobby? Kwame replies that Bobby wanted to "strategically Lose a big bid."
This evidence is as direct as any we've seen showing that Bobby and Kwame were plotting together.
Beeckman says this concerned the construction of the new police department offices, but it didn't get off the ground at the time. It's under construction now.
Chutkow shows next text Jan 26 2004:
bobby: Lanzo is pissed off about me being here about this job, and I mean pissed.
Derrick Miller: they knew all along. They mentioned you to me.
Beeckman says this was at the time the sewer contract was canceled. That's 1361.
Miller: Bullshit I told them it was a management decision, fuck them liars.
Bobby only Lanzo tom is here saying the same thin you are saying and telling them no deal without me, he gotten smart, I am just sitting here listening."
Beeckman says this is when Lakeshore Engineering was meeting with Bobby.
Chutkow shows more texts where Kwame tells Bobby he's scaring Meah. Bobby replies that Meah should just run the department.
Beeckman is now explaining that Bobby is now going for a school contract. That there's more talk about messing with contracts and permits.
Chutkow shows an expense report from an employee of Alberitchy the construction company, the original, on the Book Cadillac project. It talks about Walt Watkins from Planning and development and George Jackson of economic development. Its an 800 dollar charge at Cobo Hall. Chutkow shows the credit card of Paul Lindley from Alberitchy for a suite at Cobo.
Chutkow shows a text from Bobby to his office assistant; This one talks about a meeting at Chrysler and setting up a meeting at ford, and about setting up hockey tickets from DEGC. Beeckman says George Jackson was the director of DEGC.
Bobby's assistant replies she had the hockey tickets.
Another text from Lisa Nocerini to Tardiff. She's Derrick Miller's assistant, telling him to make sure the suite at the Joe has food the Mayor is attending tonight.
Next text: march 31 2003, Bobby to Kwame, "Book Cadillac CM is trying not to use FEI and get Amado to do the demo George had me be his guest to let them know how close we are." "will need help … white folks being white."
Shutdown shows another text. "What's up, just put shit on white folks now I need your help need time, book."
Kwame: flying gout 6pm.
Bobby:that's bad for me...
Kwame I'll call you in a few minutes.
Next text between Bobby and Kwame
Bobby you wont believe this someone one stole our equipment from book Cadillac we chase him down to fort and tumble, police and channel 4 and 2 are here.... man the news were out here that's what got me."
paraphrasing bobby, says he's famous now just needs to get some money and Kwame replies "let's get you some."
Chutkow asks where Bernard was renting office space. Beeckman says in Kado's office. Chutkow points out that Kwame referred to the guy from up by Ferris State asks where Rosendall is from.. Thomas objects. Judge sustains.
Chutkow asks how tall Mike Tardiff is. Beeckman says 5 foot 4. Chutkow points out the "little guy." reference.
Shea asks for a sidebar now.
The phone call is all in coded language that the prosecution is trying to decipher for the jury... and they aren't getting any leeway from the defense to leap to any unsubstantiated conclusions.
Chutkow is going to play another call now.
Beeckman says it's from August 7th 2007 between Bobby and Bernard.
Bernard tells Bobby let's just go together to Chene park, they going to have some seats for us. Bernard says the problem is they just want us to go together. Changes the subject and Says I'm going to get out of here on Sunday... if this thing is going to happen I may need 2 grand … so just have a couple in your back pocket just in case.
Chutkow asks Beeckman where they were going. Says Orlando.
A juror just asked to hear the call again.
Chutkow plays it then moves on to another call from march 5 2008. Chutkow puts up the quote where Bernard says he's going to blow up the Synagro deal.
Beeckman says it the conversation between rosendall and Bernard. Reads the part where Bernard says he could have him... stop it for a year, stop it for two years. Beeckman says Amru Meah was head of Building and Safety, says he saw a text message asking Meah to interfere.
Chutkow publishes the message
Bobby: Club rain the white boy thinks he is slick don't have any real money FEI did 20,000 job and he won't pay is it alright if BLDS safety fuck's with his permit?
Kwame replies will call later.
Beeckman says they're referring to Matthew Flynn, who wanted to open a strip club called club rain, says bobby did some work for him, on the building.
Chutkow asks about building and safety fucking with his permit.
Beeckman says he has no personal knowledge about what happened to the permit.
Chutkow show another message:
bobby: what' up black you see the business second today him Jenkins front page about the casino might get kicked off, contributions.
Beeckman says Jenkins owns a construction company and did work on the book Cadillac.
Beeckman says the news article about Jenkins contributions to the Mayor of Southfield which jeopardized his casino vender license.
bobby: FYI casino contractor are spinning Meah and me, Larry Brinker, Paul Jenkins.
Kwame: hey need to find a way.
Bobby that and you that but then mf think that they don't need me or the Meah for permits...
Beeckman says that's Mead with Building and Safety. And Bobby got work from Meah but didn't have any formal role in issuing permits.
Chutkow is up now and Agent Beeckman is back in the stand. Chutkow says he's going to play a call, and enter the transcript.... Rataj and Thomas jump up. Judge Edmunds laughs and says you're like a jack-in-the-box today... says come on up! Another sidebar. Judge Edmunds usually has no patience for interruptions but in this case it's clear, she thinks the defense lawyers have a strong argument. I get the impression that she like a good Donny brook when the situation calls for it.
Chutkow is back at the podium. Beeckman says it's a warning from Bernard to Kwame. Shea jumps up now, says a synopsis is the time, the date... Judge Edmunds sustains his objection.
Chutkow plays the call. Bernard asks Kwame where he's going. Kwame says Orlando. Bernard asks him when he'll be back. Monday. Bernard says "this guy" needs to talk to you. Kwame says this guy has some news for you too about the little guy. Bernard asks the little guy? Kwame says the little white guy, your favorite little white guy. Bernard says I have no idea. That guy that keeps seeing this guy From Chi?Kwame says he'll call you back.
Chutkow asks Beeckman asks if he remembers money coming Mark Cunningham from Chicago. Thomas objects, over ruled.
Shutdown asked him about the par that says you got to stay away from that Lillie guy.
Beeckman says Cunningham got stung, the Philadelphia enquirer publicized it.
Says Bernard and Akuna Olumba talked about it in a previous conversation.
Chutkow asks about the part where Bernard says you mean the Arab, asks Beeckman what nationality is Karl Kado. Thomas objects. Judge Edmunds call for a side bar.
Blackwell moves on and asks Shuck what percentage of the checks were endorsed by either Bobby, his wife, or FEI. Shuck says 75%.
Rataj gets another turn. Tells her you testified that Bobby only endorsed 3 checks. Says you don't know who endorsed the checks listed as endorsed by FEI. Shuck says the employee endorsed checks only totaled 600,000. Rataj is steaming, says you don't have that on your chart do you. You can't tell the jury with any certainty, can you? Shuck says no. She done, well done, after that grilling by Rataj. Shuck steps down.
Blackwell now enters a document, it's a stipulation and order listing all the stipulations agreed to by the defense team and the prosecutors. Judge Edmunds tells the jury the stipulations only refer to the information in each paragraph and do not constitute, as Jim Thomas pointed out, that anyone is admitting to any crime or wrong doing.
This was all boiler plate stuff, like that the city got more than $10,000 in federal funds for all the years in which the charges have been leveled, that the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, and others did business in the city of Detroit.
Court is back in session. Jennifer Blackwell is asking Shuck if she correlated any of the checks with expenditures. Rataj objects says she already testified she didn't know. Judge Edmunds says she testified all she was looking for was cash so she tells Blackwell she can proceed accordingly.
Blackwell asks if Shuck looked at all the checks. Asks if she maybe can't recall today. Rataj objects again. Judge Edmunds tells him she will certainly let him fully cross examine this line of questioning.
Blackwell asks another question and Shuck cites a rule number and says she may not be able to answer that.
Blackwell asks for a sidebar.
Sidebar is over. Blackwell asks if she can admit a piece of evidence. Judge Edmunds tells her she need to lay a foundation. Thomas and Rataj are both out of there seats.
Judge Edmunds tell Blackwell she need to lay the foundation. Rataj asks if he can ask Shuck a question, Judge says go ahead.
Rataj asks her how many checks she looked at. Thousands. You looked at checks that didn't end up on your chart. You can't tell us how many. No, I don't know how many I looked at.
Rataj says I asked you, do you remember the names of venders. Isn't it true you testified that you could not recall the names of the venders. I asked you and the answer was no. All of a sudden after a 20 minute break you're going to tell us that now you can remember this one check.
Blackwell objects, but the Judge is siding with Rataj on this one. Calls the attorneys up for a sidebar. And she sustains the objections. The checks will no be admitted.
Judge Edmunds tells the jury she's waiting for an exhibit to be delivered so we'll take our 20 minute break now.
Rataj is running through cashier's checks now. Says it's a check made out to Florida A&M University. Next check is make out to Lane College. Shuck says she has no idea where Bobby's daughters were going to school. I'm not sure if the cash used to pay for these checks came from a business or personal account. Odd though, that Bobby got cashier's checks to pay for college. The University my kid attended took even my personal checks and I didn't have two safes stuffed with cash and CD's totaling more than a million dollars.
Shuck says she just counted these checks to make sure they didn't get deposited into any other account.
Rataj says you're not here to suggest Mr. Ferguson had 50 personal bank accounts are you ma'am? Shuck says she doesn't know how many personal accounts Bobby had. Rataj tells the Judge he has no further questions
Rataj introduces a series of checks into evidence and hands them to Shuck. Puts a highlighted chart on the screen listing the checks as payroll checks from payroll checks from Xcel to Bobby. Shuck says she can't tell if it's a payroll check.
Rataj says let's look at the next check. Asks if she'd agree with her that the memo sections says "parts." At least according to that check in your chart Mr. Ferguson cashed a check for parts. Shuck says it's a check made payable to Bobby Ferguson for $12,000 but she can't read the memo line. Rataj asks about the next check, does it say...
Blackwell objects, says this chart is not in evidence. Judge Edmunds says the original chart does not have these hand written memo's. Rataj says you're exactly right the jury copy will be clean. Says he'll put the checks in evidence for the jury to see. Asks about a check for $21,000 that says "graphics" in the memo line.
Rataj now pus up a copy of the check that says "truck parts" in the memo line. Moves to next check that says "graphics" in the memo line. Now shows a 12,000 check that says "ws 623 8 mile asphalt payment." Judge Edmunds asks who it's paid out to. It's paid out to cash.
(I've done a couple of stories on crooked asphalt pavers, and was told by one supplier that they only ask for "cash" from the deadbeats.)
All these checks Rataj is going through are made out to cash, or to Bobby personally. So it looks like he's taking cash out of his accounts to pay bills. Rataj has shown a whole lot of checks here, but not one receipt. You'd think if his point is that all this cash was for legitimate business purposes he'd at least have a receipt from the asphalt suppliers.
Rataj runs through the accounts, counts up 6. Shuck studies the chart again.
Shuck asks did he count personal accounts? Rataj says we'll get to those, I just want the jury to understand your chart. Shuck names another account. Rataj says so we're up to 7? Yes.
Shuck says there's also another FEI account. Rataj says so 8? Shuck says and one personal account. Adding up to 9.
Rataj, now, wouldn't you agree with me ma'am there were a total of 5 transactions in the total of $10,500. Asks if he can enter 5 checks into evidence that came out of the personal account.
Rataj says these checks are listed on her chart, 5 checks. Another long pause as Shuck looks at the checks.
Rataj says according to your chart Bobby cashed 5 checks from that account over 6 years. Shuck says yes.
Rataj says he'd like to introduce documents showing these checks were for the kid's college funds.
Says you'll admit this is a college savings plan for Brandi Ferguson. Shuck says there are so many documents. Rataj shows her documents and says this is for Brandi. Yes. This is for Brittany. Yes. Bobby Jr. Yes. These accounts are not listed on your chart. Correct.
Shuck says she looked to make sure these checks weren't deposited into any other account.
Rataj says but we established there were 8 business accounts and one personal account. Correct.
Asks when you were reviewing all the accounts, the corporate accounts, you ran across checks made payable to venders. Were there payroll checks. Shuck says she just looked for checks to cash. Says she doesn't remember who the payees were. Rataj says so what you didn't see any of those checks, you don't remember, the checks, you can't testify to any of the payees. Shuck says correct.
"all rise" Judge Nancy Edmunds takes the bench. Bobby Ferguson's attorney Mike Rataj is at the podium waiting for the jury before he resumes.
Judge Edmunds greets the jury, reminds Shuck she's still under oath and Rataj begins.
Rataj show the chart she prepared showing cash withdrawals on Bobby's accounts.
Rataj asks if she looked at who endorsed the checks. Yes
Rataj says he did his own analysis, now puts up the total for the cash transactions, asks Shuck if she remembers. Yes.
Rataj asks if out of 83 transactions Bobby endorsed only 3. Shuck says she remembers counting 83 checks.
Rataj now says he wants to ask her about the number of accounts. Asks if she'd like to have the chart in front of her, would it help you. Sure.
Looks at First Independence Bank accounts. Shuck affirms. Rataj asks if there's also a
Comerica account. Yes.
Rataj now asks for a copy of the chart be put on the screen since he just handed Shuck his copy.
Asks if the FI accounts were business accounts. Yes.
Asks if she sees the Comerica corporate account. Yes.
Asks about entry for Johnson Consultants. Yes. Shuck says she can't recall if it's FI or Comerica. Says it's a business account.
Rataj asks about the Xcel account. Asks if there's an A&F Environmental/Johnson account. Yes.
Rataj asks if there are 6 accounts. Shuck says she thinks there were nine. Rataj asks if he missed some, tells Shuck to take here time looking at the chart.
The attorneys are filing back into the room. Mark Chutkow went straight to where agent Beeckman was sitting and whispered something in his ear. Chutkow then left smiling.
Agent Shuck from the IRS is standing next to the witness box in the front left corner of the room, as you look from the gallery, waiting to resume being cross examined
The defendants are gathered at the corner of the "L" shaped defense table, laughing and smiling. It looks like Bernard said something funny. Kwame turned away laughing with his hand over his mouth. Bobby Ferguson looks relaxed, for once his hands are not in constant motion. Bernard is standing with his arms folded across his chest, occasionally smiling or laughing. They are the only ones at the defense table, the prosecutors table is empty. I see a loan print reporter sitting in the gallery, and agent Beeckman is sitting his usual seat, directly behind the prosecutors table in the first row
The picture is up in the overflow room and the defendants are in the court room. Kwame Kilpatrick is sitting next to his Father Bernard, chatting with attorneys Mike Naughton and Susan Van Dusen. Kwame's attorney Jim Thomas is pulling papers out of his over sized brief case and organizing pages in a binder, occasionally comparing exhibits with prosecutors.
The prosecution team looks relaxed, like they can see the light at the end of a very long tunnel. Bullotta and Doeh are examining papers with Agent Sauer.
And the a clerk waves from the door way to Judge Nancy Edmunds chambers and the attorneys all file to the front of the room and disappear through the door behind the judge's bench.
Good Morning from downtown Detroit at the Theodore J. Levin Federal Court House. If all goes as planned today the prosecutors will end their presentation.

Celebrity divorces shouldn't surprise me, but sometimes they still do. This one does a little....
After 10 years of marriage, Gwyneth Paltrow has confirmed that she and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are separating.
She posted a note on her Goop.com website yesterday that reads,
"It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate... We ask for [our kids'] and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time."
Gwyneth and Chris got married in December 2003 after meeting after a concert in 2002. They have two children.

LiveSomerset floods: Environment Agency warns further flooding to come over weekend
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- High tide causes problems in coastal towns and villages.
- Heavy rain batters county with more on the way.
- Lightning strikes Bridgwater care home.
- Seafront roads to close again tonight (Friday)
- Dozens of warnings in place after low pressure and winds cause tidal surge.
- Send your flood pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com
For more recent updates, click here.
The South-West and coastal areas are still at risk of flooding over the weekend and into early next week, says the Environment Agency.
Communities are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings as 41 flood warnings are in place for the South West and 63 flood alerts.
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "Further inland heavy rain has left ground saturated, increasing the risk of river and surface water flooding.
"Environment Agency teams are on standby to deploy demountable defences in some areas. Also at risk are communities along the Severn in Gloucestershire and on the Somerset Levels.
"Rivers are also likely to rise in response to today's rain in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Further wet and windy conditions forecast over the weekend could exacerbate problems in already saturated areas."
Environment Agency teams continue to work around the clock checking and maintaining flood defences, clearing blockages in watercourses, deploying temporary defences, monitoring water levels and issuing flood warnings where necessary.
Most recent estimates suggest that around 90 properties have flooded since yesterday (January 3), bringing the total number of properties flooded to around 220.
The coastal surge in recent days has tested over 3000km of flood defences in England and the EA says over 205,000 properties have been protected.
Jonathan Day, flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, said: "The risk of flooding to the coast will continue over the next few days, especially on the south and west coast and along the Severn estuary.
"In addition, wet conditions have left the ground saturated in many areas, increasing the risk of river and surface water flooding.
"We would urge people to be prepared by checking their flood risk, signing up to free flood warnings and keeping an eye on the latest flood updates via the EA website and Twitter."
"We have protected over 200,000 properties across the country over the past 48 hours, and the Environment Agency will continue to work around the clock to protect communities."
Devon and Somerset Fire service has responded to a series of flood-related incidents today (January 4).
At around 10am, fire crews from Somerton were sent to a report of flood water entering a property in Charlton Adam Somerton and effecting its electrics. Crews isolated the electrics and used a light portable pump to remove some of the flood water.
Fire Control received numerous calls of cars driving into flood water this morning.
A spokesman said: "Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service will not attend incidents purely for vehicle recovery. Please do not drive into flood water."
At 11.36am Fire crews from Yeovil were sent to a report of flooding in a domestic property on Church Lane, Barwick, Yeovil, that was affecting the electrics. Crews isolated electrics and used a peristaltic pump to pump out the water from the property.
At 1pm Fire crews from Frome attended an incident on New Road, Frome, where a vehicle had driven into flood water. Crews rescued two people from inside the vehicle who were trapped.
At 2.12pm A Fire Crew from Danes Castle were sent to a flooding incident where water was affecting the electrics inside a domestic property on Pennsylvania road, Exeter. Crews Isolated the water supply before leaving the scene.
This photo was sent in by Lisa King. It shows flooding at Blake Gardens in Bridgwater.
Lisa said: "I'm hoping people's homes and businesses are all ok."
Stay away from flood water. Keep clear of waves and riverside paths. Six inches of flowing water can knock you off your feet. #floodaware— @EnvAgencySW 03 January 2014
Met Office has issued a yellow warning of rain for Somerset.
Minehead and Blue Anchor seafronts have closed again due to high tide and in case of possible flooding.
#Map showing 180,000 properties in England protected from #flooding by defences since 1st Jan. #FloodAware #UKStorm http://t.co/NiTD9mhVXN— @EnvAgency 03 January 2014
Highest ever recorded tide level of 8.3m AoD this morning in Bridgwater, compared with 7.9m AoD in the exceptional tidal flooding of 1981— @waterlevels 03 January 2014
DEVON and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people to be aware of possible flooding later today and over the weekend.
Motorists are being urged to heed warnings not to drive through floodwater.
Area Manager Alex Hanson said: "It is impossible to tell how deep water is or the condition of the ground beneath.
"Your vehicle may be swept away or become stranded. Vehicles can float away in just two feet of water.
"If you do see floodwater on the road, do not attempt to drive through it; instead try to find an alternative route.
"If a road has been closed, it is for the safety of the public and closure signs should be respected."
Motorists should also be aware of the possibility of branches and other debris on the roads due to high winds.
Further advice to help prevent accidents during heavy rainfall and flooding includes:
- Don't walk on sea defences or riverbanks
- Avoid walking or driving through flood water
- Keep children and vulnerable people out of floodwater
- Take care or avoid crossing bridges when water levels are high
- Take care crossing culverts as they are dangerous when flooded
- If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately if safe to do so and seek higher ground
- Do not travel in heavy rain storms unless absolutely necessary
- Keep an eye on weather reports
- Do not attempt to walk through flooded areas. Even shallow water moving fast can sweep you off your feet and there may be hidden dangers such as open drains, damaged road surfaces, submerged debris or deep channels; these can cause serious injuries or even death
- Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst in contact with floodwater and always wash your hands afterwards
- Following a flood in your home, make sure all electrical circuits are fully dried out and checked by an electrical engineer before switching back on can cause serious injuries or even death.

Update for Northmoor area:
Robbie Williams from the Environment Agency, said on Friday (January 3): "We are continuing to pump water from the Moorland and Northmoor area.
"As well as the two more modern electric pumps at Northmoor Pumping Station, we have also brought in additional temporary pumps to supplement our pumping capacity.
"With levels on the moors continuing to rise, a further portable pump will be installed on site today, to help reduce the risk of flooding to property.
"The extreme high tides we are currently experiencing has to date limited our ability to pump."
He said Sedgemoor's Environmental Health team discussed with the Environment Agency last year the possibility of issuing a noise abatement order for Northmoor Pumping Station, following concerns about the noise and vibration caused by the two static diesel pumps.
He added: "We listened to these concerns and voluntarily stopped using the diesel pumps, so no order was necessary.
"In light of the current extreme conditions we have reintroduced the use of these diesel pumps during daylight hours."
Trains were delayed after a tree fell onto the line near Bridgwater.
There were delays at Highbridge train station on January 3 after a tree came down during the storm.

The Environment Agency estimates that around 130 properties across the region have flooded since Thursday, while flood defences have protected some 130,000 properties across the country.
It says the risk of flooding could continue throughout the weekend and early next week and is urging people to be prepared by checking their flood risk, signing up to free water warnings and staying prepared to take action.
A spokesman said: "The Environment Agency will continue to work to check flood defences and close tidal gates to protect communities."
Sedgemoor District Council has responded to flooding across the area.
In Burnham, following a multi-agency response to the flood warnings, the council provided 150 sand bags to the Burnham area this morning at 6.15am. Members of BARB helped distribute the sandbags.
An additional 100 sandbags will be available from beside the BARB building for residents in need from 3pm today (January 3).
A spokesman said: "SDC are very grateful to BARB for their assistance in distribution, thus allowing SDC staff to help out elsewhere across the district."
In Bridgwater a number of Homes in Sedgemoor properties were flooded in St Saviour's Avenue.
The council says this was due to Durleigh Brook being unable to discharge into the River Parrett because of the height of the tide.
SDC's clean surroundings staff attended to provide sandbags and help the elderly residents clear up and alternative arrangements have been made to help with their accommodation where necessary.
SDC will be liaising with other agencies over the weekend to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.
David Thompson sent in this photo taken at Old Taunton Road, Bridgwater, to the Bridgwater Mercury.
He said: "I looked out of my bathroom window about 8am this morning and saw the river nearly at the top of the wall. It was very scary."

The Environment Agency has issued another flood alert for the Somerset coast at Minehead, Bridgwater and Burnham this evening.
Floods are possible for coastal and tidal aread at Minehead, Bridgwater, Burnham and Weston at high tide this evening and tomorrow morning.
The river Parrett at 12.15pm during a brief spell of sunny weather, considerably lower now that it's at low tide.
High tide will be at 8pm.
The South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust says it has attended 13 road traffic collisions this morning.
A Trust spokesman said: "The public can be reassured that all emergency, public and health services are working together to continue to provide a safe and effective service to all communities in the South West.
"However, it is vital that the public think about the most appropriate service for their needs before calling 999.
The emergency services in the South-West have given their latest guidance and advice for dealing with the severe weather.
The following is from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.
"Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service are reminding people to be aware of possible flooding later today and over the weekend as predicted by the Met Office.
"The service is especially asking motorists to heed warnings not to drive through any floodwater, as it could put themselves and others at risk."
Area manager Alex Hanson said: "It is impossible to tell how deep water is or the condition of the ground beneath.
"Your vehicle may be swept away or become stranded. Vehicles can float away in just two feet of water.
"If you do see floodwater on the road, do not attempt to drive through it; instead try to find an alternative route.
"If a road has been closed, it is for the safety of the public and closure signs should be respected."
Motorists should also be aware of the possibility of tree branches and other debris on the roads due to high winds earlier this morning.
The service offers further useful advice which could help prevent accidents during heavy rainfall and flooding:
People should bear in mind the following safety tips:
• Don't walk on sea defences or riverbanks.
• Avoid walking or driving through flood water.
• Keep children and vulnerable people out of floodwater.
• Take care or avoid crossing bridges when water levels are high.
• Take care crossing culverts as they are dangerous when flooded.
• If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately if safe to do so and seek higher ground.
• Do not travel in heavy rain storms unless absolutely necessary. Keep an eye on weather reports on local television or listen to local radio.
• Do not attempt to walk through flooded areas. Even shallow water moving fast can sweep you off your feet and there may be hidden dangers such as open drains, damaged road surfaces, submerged debris or deep channels; these can cause serious injuries or even death.
• Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst in contact with floodwater and always wash your hands afterwards
• Following a flood in your home, make sure all electrical circuits are fully dried out and checked by an electrical engineer before switching back on can cause serious injuries or even death.
The wind has picked up again in Taunton.

Residents at Sydenham House care home in Bridgwater are unhurt after lightning struck the building this morning.
The lightning dislodged some brickwork on the roof, which is being assessed.
A spokesman said: "Everyone is fine, they were just a bit shocked when it happened.
"No one has been evacuated as we are still assessing the small amount of damage.
"We want to reassure families that everyone was unhurt."

A list of weather-related events so far in Sedgemoor:
- At least two homes in Northmoor flooded, along with land owned by famers
- Racehorse trainer Carroll Gray evacuated his horses from his Moorland stables due to flooding
- The river overflowed at Blake Gardens and combined with the mill stream behind the museum, flooding the low lying areas around St Saviours Avenue.
- West Quay was also flooded and water had reached the top arch of the Town Bridge by the tidal surge at around 8am on Friday. But by 8.15am the tide had turned and the water receded rapidly.
- Many readers tweeted photos of the storm as the sky was lit up by lightning and thunder. This was followed by a heavy hail shower.
- The lightning damaged the roof of Sydenham House care home in Bridgwater, causing some masonry to come loose.
Blue Anchor too saw a share of big waves this morning.

The view of Porlock Weir this morning from The Cafe Porlock Weir, sent in by Sarah Dixon.
Sarah Dixon from The Cafe Porlock Weir sent in the picture of the bottom of their garden this morning.
Charlotte Finch sent in this photo from Watchet.
She says: "A stream that runs through Watchet, out to the sea, which usually has very minimal water running through it - this is the deepest I have ever seen it."
Water has collected on the moors at North Curry near Taunton and overflowed across the A361, which has been closed. As a result, the fields at Northmoor are slowly filling up with water.
There are currently only four pumps operating at Northmoor pumping station, two electric and two diesel, but the two original heavy duty pumps are not able to be switched on.
Moorland farmer James Winslade, who is also on the drainage board committee, said: "I know of at least two homes which have flooded today (January 3) after the tidal surge. It's come from the Thatchers Arms over Burrowbridge.
"I was helping to sandbag properties last night and my neighbour, the racehorse trainer Carroll Gray, has had to once again evacuate his horses because the water is coming into the stables.
"The Environment Agency has brought in two extra pumps to deal with the rising water, but it's not enough. It's still less than what we had in 2012 and we need more pumps.
"If something isn't done soon we could be looking at a repeat of the flooding in 2012, which lost us £100,000 because the fields were underwater. We haven't been able to claim that back and there will be many more farmers in the same situation."
Sarah Dixon from The Cafe Porlock Weir, said: "It really was quite a thing to see this morning.
"There was so much water at the bottom of our garden, it was underwater. The property is fine because it's on a bit of a hill.
"The surface water is going away now but there is a lot of debris around and muck, it's not nice.
"We're all preparing for tonight as the wind picks up and they're pumping out the properties that have been affected."
We are receiving reports that the A372 between Othery and Aller is closed as well as Broadway Lane in Broadway from the Junction with A358.
Roland Harding, harbour master at Porlock Weir said the tide was on its way out now but that they were waiting for the next dose of bad weather this evening.
Mr Harding said: "I've been down here since 6.30 this morning and there were about five or six properties flooded.
"It was higher than we expected but it's not been too bad.
"The tide isn't as high this evening but the wind will be picking up which means it could be bad again.
"Lots of people came down to help this morning and now we're just mopping out the houses."
One lane is closed on the M5 in both directions between junction 29 (Exeter) and junction 28 (Cullompton) due to a collision and surface water. Delays likely.
Keep up to date on our live traffic and travel page.

Have just driven through the most ferocious storm I can recall in over 30 years of driving that came out of nowhere & hit the M5 around Bridgwater. One minute light drizzle then suddenly a torrential downpour & an intense bright flash that lit up the sky, immediately followed by the loudest thunder I've ever heard directly overhead, so much so the shockwave vibrated right through the car. I kid you not!

Motorists are also urged to avoid driving through floodwater, with experts saying 30cm of water is enough to move your car.

There are still 14 severe warnings in place for the South-West and 61 flood warnings.
The Environment Agency said yesterday a low pressure weather system approaching from the west will result in a positive tidal surge over the next 48 hours.
People - especially those in seafront properties in Minehead, Blue Anchor, Porlock, Dunster, Brean and Burnham - are being urged to prepare for possible flooding.
Somerset County Council closed seafront roads in Minehead and Blue Anchor from 6am today and they will close again at 5pm.
Oh my God, that lightning hit really close to the office and seemed to set off a car alarm, now there's heavy hail in Bridgwater— @MercuryKJames 03 January 2014
SOMERSET has escaped widespread flooding this morning (January 3) because winds have not been as strong as feared, but towns and villages west of the county have been hit.
The tide at Porlock Weir spilled over and high water levels have also been reported in Minehead.
Many seafront roads are closed, including at Minehead, Blue Anchor and Burnham.

Btw, how is everything going with your mom? I've been thinking about you guys a lot.
Btw, how is everything going with your mom? I've been thinking about you guys a lot.
Thank you for asking, and for thinking of us She is doing okay. It's hard to tell. She's taking a lot of pain meds. My dad is wearing himself out worrying about her all the time. I wish there was more I could do to help him.
I confess that I was just laying with Kai in his bed, half asleep, really warm and cozy when he sat up and said, "Mom. Do you want to get me a drink of water now? Or in five minutes?" This kid is using my tactics.
I'm glad she's doing ok. Your poor dad, it must be really hard on him.
I confess that I got my siggy back.
I confess that Mia's new thing is doing voices for her stuffed animals. It's so cute. I had a long conversation with her panda today.
I've noticed that my mom is actually kind of mean to my dad sometimes. I know it is her frustration with losing some independence. She has always been very self reliant and now he has to remind her when and which pills to take and when she get confused about something, he's the one to correct her. She acts like he's bugging her. It makes me sad for him.
It's so hard when people are ill, and when they're on pain meds. I had this issue with my grandfather years ago, when he was having all sorts of issues and had been in and out of the hospital. Of course, he was older, so it's surely not the same, but he was so short and crappy with me sometimes and it made me so sad, but mostly for him, because I knew it was just a symptom of how powerless he felt. Bridget, I'm glad things seem mostly okay right now, but god, I think of you. This must be so hard.
On an up note - try the book! After three lessons, today we played a game in the driveway where I used sidewalk chalk to make a road for him to drive his ride-on car on, and he asked me to "make a word game." So, using the three sounds/letters we've practiced I made words at each corner and told him the game was each time he passed them he had to read/sound out the words. He did it, every one. As, am, sam, and mama. That was all I could think of with those letters, but he was SOooooo proud!
Daylilies - two suggestions, one, stop what you're doing, look Josh in the eye, and say "sweety, you need to acknowledge me, which means saying YES or OKAY or something when I ask you something." It seems annoying, but get him to understand a response is ALWAYS necessary when someone is speaking two you. And two, have a talk with DH. I had to do this with mine, because sometimes he wouldn't respond and he somehow thought that was okay - well, it's not. And it sends the wrong message to your kids.
Stacy, does Oscar write his letters yet? I only ask because Savana is very interested in letters but not writing them. I'm not concerned but curious as to how typical it would be for a child to read first.
And what you say about your grandpa is just how I feel about my mom. She expressed to me a long time ago how her biggest fear was losing brain function and "being a burden" to us, to my dad. It was the only time I ever saw her cry about her illness. I just with I had the power to take the pain away. From her and my dad.
Thank you for the thoughts everyone.
I don't want to quote the whole thing, but thanks Stacy for the reply and advice.
That's funny! I've been trying that tactic too.
I was really irritated yesterday to go to the craft store looking for stickers for Annie, and the majority of stickers all being easter stickers. I know that it's easter, and so lots of people are buying more eastery stuff...but I just wanted a selection that included things that could double as teaching tools possibly? Like some animals, or colors...anything!!
I feel like when I was a kid (born in '79) that stickers were so much more a thing, and "sticker technology" has dived since. I used to be able to find TONS of stickers...what happened? Did kids stop liking stickers in favor of their nintendo DS? If anyone knows of a good place to buy LOTS of stickers, clue me in.
Just Midge
I hate the easter theme. We celebrate spring, but jesus there are a lot of bunnies and eggs out there this time of year. And crappy candy. Oh joy, a veritable hell for me.
I loved stickers. I was born in 71 and they were such the rage in the 70s and 80s. You're right, they seem to suck nowadays.
Bridget, O's just starting to write letters, and does really well with the simple ones. O, A, T, H, I, F, the ones that don't involve squiggles or too many pieces. This book will help with that, too, because part of each lesson is "writing sounds" and they have you have the kid trace the sound, then write it (if they can). I don't push with the really hard ones, I just do it WITH him or let him trace, but he's getting it pretty quickly. Today he didn't even tell me how lloooooong the lesson was or that he "couldn't do this" so we're making progress.
I get boatloads of stickers from Family Dollar. They have little ones for behavior/potty charts and ones specifically for girls and boys and just things in general like cars and flowers and the sun. I bought a bunch of superhero and hotwheel stickers for Ky's birthday party last month to give out in goddie bags. Not all Family Dollar stores have them though for some reason. The one closest to my house does, but we have another about 6 blocks away that doesn't have any. Don't know why but they don't. But Family Dollar in my neighborhood is like the ghetto mall or shopping plaza since they are pretty much the only stores around here. There are 4 within a 5 mile radius and all of them have different products so go figure.
But just wanted to say 79 is in the house!!!! I was born in 79 too and used to LOVE stickers when I was a kid. Ky and his friends/cousins loved the stickers too so I don't think kids don't like them anymore. If anything it seems they think they are extra special since older kids anyway don't really get stickers anymore as much as I used to get them. The kids at the party had ages between 3 and 10 and all the boys loved the stickers and I really had to make sure they didn't plaster our walls with them while they were here since I gave all of them 50 stickers each.
I lost Bobbie and Jessica when they were little (maybe 2 and 3), and it was in our yard. I panicked and was yelling for them. After a few minutes, my yells were probably more like shrieks, if I'm honest. We lived near a pond at the time and had a small stream running through our backyard and we were surrounded by woods. What happened was they heard me 'yelling' and got scared, so they stayed hid. One of the most terrifying moments of my life. I did learn from that to keep my panic in check so that they would come to me in a hurry from then on.
My mom used to get all her stickers from the teachers supply store, but since we moved she now gets them from - http://www.trendenterprises.com/product_searchresults_New.cfm?Keywords=&ThisLevel1 =Product+Category&Level1=ThisLevel1&ThisLevel2=Sti ckers
I confess that I made DH hide the enormous easter egg he bought. I don't need that temptation.
I confess that I hTE IT WHEN I HIT THE CAPS LOCK INSTEAD OF 'A' AND I HAVE TO RE-TYPE EVERYTHING I JUST WROTE.
Jelly beans are the devil.
I was born in 78 and had a few stickers. Wasn't really that into them though. I collected books instead....Nancy Drew Case Files.
OMG, so I'm all moody this weekend and hormonal. And DH did NOT help things out this weekend. The ONE thing I wanted to do was go to the place to pick out the bathroom counters. It's pretty much the only thing we didn't do. I told him yesterday at 10am that I wanted to have my coffee and than get going. Well he found some facebook game he was obsessed with all weekend and kept putting it off. I told him I thought they closed early but didn't check the time.
We get there finally at 12:30...to find that they closed at 12 and aren't open on Sundays. So pretty much now I'm going to have to miss some work one day this week (we have to talk to a specific person and she only works every other Saturday).
He was just lucky that once I started cleaning today that he turned that stupid game off and helped me.

Gaillac blanc sec 2007 – Château Clémént Termes – Alc. 12% - (€5), made from the Mauzac and Loin de l'Oeuil varieties.
Gaillac is a little exported appellation situated to the North-East of the city of Toulouse (where Airbus is assembled) towards Albi on the Tarn http://www.vins-gaillac.com/A_frm01.html . It uses a number of obscure local grape varieties (including these two) as well as adding more international ones to some cuvées. It is probably the French appellation with which I am least familiar.
C: Quite pale straw.
N: Tender white fruit and flowers.
P: Bone dry, quite original and aromatic in flavour but soft, light in body, though quite round, and somewhat dilute; flavours are refreshing with good acidity showing white and citrus fruit with a grapefruit like bitterness round the finish which shows a fragrant after-taste. With more stuffing this flavour profile could have been interesting; 14/20.
Langhe Arneis "Tre Fie" 2008 – Famiglia Marrone, La Morra – Alc. 13% - (c.€13) under a plastic closure.
The Arneis white grape is probably less unfamiliar than the above two. It is planted in Piemonte in the Langhe, as here, and in Roero north of the river Tanaro.
C: Similar to the Gaillac.
N: Quite subdued with grape and pineapple notes.
P: Noticeably sweet with medium body and the "gras" missing from the Gaillac showing attractively grapey and tropical fruit notes balanced by lively tangy minerals and sufficient acidity (don't be put off by the back label's "low acidity" comment) and decent length. Not too sweet for pairing with a fish dish ("sandre") in a creamy mussel sauce; to be drunk young, I guess; 15.5/20.

From WENN.com
Oscars bosses recently revealed they had extended an invitation for all the movie Bonds - from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig - to attend the Academy Awards on 24 February (13), but the Die Another Day star has revealed there's one hold out.
Asked to confirm his participation in the get together during a shopping trip in Malibu, California on Sunday (10Feb13), Brosnan simply told TMZ.com, ""They'll be missing one.""
Brosnan refused to comment on who the one might be.
Oscar bosses have already confirmed the participation of Bond theme singers Adele and Shirley Bassey.

LAX: An inside look at the new Tom Bradley International Terminal
The Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX officially opened Wednesday, mostly. Airlines started using the new, smarter gates that can handle big aircraft, including the Airbus A380s. Inside, Southern California scenes and quirky videos played on seven huge multimedia features while passengers relaxed at the lounge-like seating in the Great Hall or shopped in the 25,000-square-foot duty-free shop. Many restaurants and high-ends shops weren't yet open, but officials say they'll be rolled out in coming weeks. Here's a look at the terminal's new $1.9-billion upgrade, a project that won't be completely finished until 2015.

The Clipper 13-14 Round the World Yacht Race started in London, UK on 1 September 2013 and will return on 12 July 2014 - at 40,000 miles it's the world's longest ocean race.
It is the only race in the world where the organisers supply the fleet of twelve identical 70-foot, stripped down racing yachts – each sponsored by a a brand – and manned with a fully-qualified skipper, employed to lead crews safely around the globe.
The event was established by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston to give everyone, regardless of sailing experience, the opportunity to discover the exhilaration of ocean racing.
Crew members can sign up for the whole circumnavigation or one or more of eight legs. The only qualification for the race is the minimum age of 18 – there is no upper age limit.
It's the largest race ever - where DJs rub shoulders with chief executives, vicars mix with housewives, students work alongside bankers, nurses work with vets and doctors team with rugby players. It's an experience that will change people's lives. Yet while the crews may be amateur, no one has told the ocean that.
The sea does not distinguish between Olympians or novices and if the Southern Ocean, the Pacific or the South Atlantic decides to throw down the gauntlet, the Clipper Race crews need to be ready to face exactly the same challenges as those experienced by the professional racer.
And, when they return from the biggest challenge they have ever faced, the crews bring home countless lessons with them. The importance of teamwork and the importance of respect. Of giving more than you take. Of learning what your body is capable of. An appreciation of cultures, religions, lifestyles and attitudes that connect with communities right around the globe.
Because of its amateur status and varied crew profile, don't for a moment consider this to be some kind of easy option. The crews have to work hard to become winners and it's not unusual that boats might finish within minutes of each other after three weeks and 3,000 miles of ocean racing.
The overall race is divided into individual stages and points are accumulated in a Formula 1-style scoring system. The yacht with the highest total at the finish wins the Clipper Race Trophy.
More than 40 years have gone by since Sir Robin Knox-Johnston's record breaking solo and non-stop circumnavigation in 1968-69. Now, as Chairman of Clipper Ventures Plc, he is at the forefront of promoting round the world yacht racing. Clipper Ventures, the international marine events company founded in 1995, is focused on developing and promoting major events capable of attracting significant participation, income, media coverage and associated sponsorship revenue. Sir Robin founded the company on the premise that sailing should be made available to everyone, regardless of age or experience. More than 3,000 people have now competed in the eight editions of the Clipper Race to date. The company also owns the rights to the professional solo round the world VELUX 5 OCEANS race and runs a successful events division offering corporate sailing and development programmes.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston is the Executive Chairman and founder Director of Clipper Ventures Plc. Sir Robin has been involved in sailing all his life and holds a Department of Transport Master's Certificate. He is the first person to sail solo and non-stop around the world and has also set the record for the fastest circumnavigation with Sir Peter Blake. In 2007 he completed his second solo circumnavigation when he competed in the VELUX 5 OCEANS race. Sir Robin has considerable experience of the administration of round the world races having served on the Whitbread Race committee from 1990 to 1994 and having organised the BOC Challenge Round the World Race in 1982 and 1986. He has been named RYA/YJA Yachtsman of the Year an unprecedented three times and participated in the 2010 Sydney-Hobart race at the age of 71.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
I keep hoping you will come up with a light weight meditation chair for travelling to events. Sometimes you are allowed to sit in the front of a room at spiritual intensives on these chairs. I'm surprised you don't carry any.
PS Can you list information on the metal scrolled bed you have in your advertisement for sheets.(see pic) Also, would you carry twin sheets. They are not just for kids.
We do carry twin sheets, we just do not carry twin size in some of our more decorative bedding because we have found while even if people have a twin bed they normally have a larger size duvet or comforter. We do have twin size in our Sateen, Knit, and Percale sheets however.
The bed in the photograph was a prop picked up from a local second hand store. We do not have any information on the manufacture.

KHQ.COM - A Spokane firefighter was hurt Monday morning in N. Spokane while putting out a fire. It happened around 4am in the 700 block of N. Stone. The structure that caught fire was being used a lawn care business. No one was inside when the fire broke out.
The female firefighter hurt her knee and was immediately taken to the hospital. It's not clear how the fire started.
A person delivering papers in the area saw the flames and dialed 911.
We'll post more details as we get them.

What a difference a week of good weather can make in this years planting progress. After struggling to get any field work done, Wisconsin growers made great progress this past week completing 48% of their spring tillage work and increasing their corn planting rate by 30 points to have 43% of the crop in the ground. Also 70% of the oats are now planted and 11% of the soybean crop. Now this good weather window needs to hold up because over half our corn crop is still not planted and since we are now past May 20th. We have a potential yield loss of a half bushel per acre for everyday longer growers are delayed.
Dairymen also have a decision on what to do with their alfalfa crop. The nicer weather has allowed producers to get a closer look at the crop and winterkill damage is being reported from 15-80%. The most extensive damage seems to be North of Madison and then east through the Fox River Valley and Green Bay. damage is also wide spread along the Iowa-Wisconsin border and into Minnesota.
Besides the quality of the crop, the progress is disappointing as well. While this time last year growers were taking off first crop, this year the height of the crop is only in the 15-17 inch range and the feed quality of the crop is more like jet fuel than quality forage. So patience remains a watch word.
As for the damaged crop. I did speak with UW Forage Specialist Dan Undersander and he explained the three options producers need to consider to get some decent feed out of those stands. Basically he told me growers have three options. If you have a relatively new stand you can try filling in with grasses or overseeding with Italian ryegrass to increase the yields of your first crop.
Other options would be to plant oats, although seed availability is limited, and the other option is to kill off the stands and plant corn for silage. UW Extension is sponsoring some meetings next week on feeding options and we will be sharing those suggestions in a later post.

For your summer gatherings, you'll want to share something special your family and friends will talk about for years. I found this recipe for Lemon Bars a while back and it hit a home run every time.
Good times and great food; that's what summer is all about!

I really struggle the fact that I supplied my girls with computers (they each have their own), internet access, cable tv in their bedroom and cell phones with data plans and unlimited texting, yet they can still complain about what they don't have. I go without a lot so that I can buy those things, and more, and sometimes they make me feel like I don't do enough.
I know they don't mean it, but in the emotional state I've been in, it's been nearly unbearable sometimes.

The DeMarini Pro Maple Wood Composite BBCOR Bat (S243) Adult bat should be approved for high school play in any class.

Product Description
Are you ready for something truly different this season? DeMarini has it, and it's going to revolutionize the way you look at wood bats. The Pro Maple Wood Composite BBCOR bat takes the solid construction, balanced weighting, and great pop of DeMarini's beloved wood bats and adds to it a carbon composite handle to create a phenomenal feeling swing! The barrel of the S243 is made from pro-grade maple wood. Maple is favored by many players due to its hardness, strength, and durability. The barrel features a 243 turn that is one of the more popular designs on MLB fields today. The handle of the S243 is where things get innovative though. Made from carbon composite (not composite wood), this new and improved handle design improves durability and helps the S243 to have a lighter swing weight. The resulting two-piece hybrid design gives players a wood like feel for higher performance, with added strength and a lighter feel. Don't settle for the ordinary. Get a DeMarini S243 today! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The S243 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Scoring did not come easy in the first-round matchup between Colfax and LaConner in the State B basketball tournament on Thursday.
By the time the final buzzer sounded, though, it was Colfax who ultimately got the job done, beating LaConner 44-28 at the Spokane Arena.
"The first one, the kids are always a little bit nervous, anxious, but I thought our kids did a great job, got off to a quick start," Colfax head coach Reece Jenkin said. "Defensively, for the most part, we executed and did what we needed to do."
It certainly was not an easy win for the Bulldogs, who went through scoreless periods of four and eight minutes. The eight-minute stretch came in the second quarter for the Bulldogs, but the Braves matched Colfax for six of those minutes without a bucket themselves.
LaConner shot just 1-for-15 (6.67 percent) from 3-point range and 12-for-49 (24.5 percent) from the field. Colfax didn't do much better, hitting 17-of-44 (38.6 percent) shots from the field.
"Holy cow, we had some looks, some layups, just had a tough time getting some of those things to fall," Jenkin said. "Being in a little bit of an open arena, it's a little bit of a different background for the kids. Thank goodness, I don't think it got into our heads too much."
With the second-quarter scoring drought, the teams limped to halftime with Colfax holding a 24-13 lead.
Spencer Novak scored six of LaConner's first 10 points to open the second half and to bring the Braves within five, at 28-23. Kasey Johnson responded with a 3-pointer, though, and Brandon Gfeller hit a long jumper to give Colfax some breathing room.
Gfeller led all scorers with 14 points, while Johnson added 10. Novak had 13 points for the Braves, but shot just 1-for-10 from beyond the arc.
LaConner faces Winlock at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, while Colfax advances to the winner's bracket with a 12:15 p.m. contest against Wahkiakum.
"You get here when there's eight great teams, every team's going to be tough," Jenkin said. "You're always excited to be able to move on, now we got to get ready for another tough one tomorrow."
