MAKAWAO - In the sloping grasslands about 6,000 feet up Haleakala, dogs put their bird flushing skills to the test in a traditional event that once commanded a much larger presence.
Seven handlers and nine dogs competed in the sixth annual RR "Doc" Lyons Memorial Field Trial Competition on Saturday morning at Haleakala Ranch. The event is held Presidents Day weekend and is run by the Haleakala Field Trial Club.
It is the only annual competition of its kind left in the state.

Founded in 2008, the annual RR "Doc" Lyons Memorial Field Trial Competition held on Haleakala Ranch land Saturday welcomed contestants from the other islands for the first time. The competition tests dogs' bird flushing skills.

Judges George Rogers (back row, from left) and William Brown also are pictured.
"Ultimately, it's about having a good time," said event organizer Scott Makai, whose grandfather was "Doc" Lyons. "It's a good reason to get out on the hillside, enjoy nature, watch the dogs work and have a little friendly competition at the same time."
The club, of which his grandfather was a member, held its first trials in 1956. Those initial years were the golden age of field trials, according to Jim Hustace, a judge.
Hustace, who wrote a book about the history of Hawaiian field trials, said that the sport was very popular in the state and had clubs on nearly every island, including about five on Maui.
From 1957 to 1998, a national competition called the Hawaiian Bird Dog Championship rotated between Hawaii and other states, and there were an additional 40 field trials being held every year. One of the biggest trials drew about 75 Field trials entries and went from "dawn to dusk" over two days, he said.
Hustace, who is a hall of fame dog trainer and secretary of the Hawaii Field Trial Club on the Big Island as well, said that interest in the trials fell after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, which caused an increase in costs related to importing birds and sending dogs to Hawaii. There also were pressures from increased development and loss of lands for the trials, he said.
When Makai contacted him about serving as a judge, Hustace said he was pleasantly surprised that the sport was still alive on Maui.
"I was happy to see them do it again because I thought it was all over," he said.
In his book, titled "On Point," he explains how dogs are evaluated during competition.
"The pair of dogs has a prescribed time allotted to show the judges their ability to run the selected terrain, to find game birds, and to demonstrate according to their age or the individual requirements of the stake (the event they are entered in) an ability to point and maintain the point in order for the handler of that particular dog to flush the bird," his book said.
Although field trials do not involve guns, it is a hunting exercise, and dogs must flush birds within adequate shooting range, said judge John Kobayashi of Honolulu. Seeking out prime hiding places, such as bushes or shrubs, and taking nondirect paths to pheasants and quail are signs of a well-trained dog, he said.
Many of the handlers in the competition were fairly experienced, including Grant Tom, who has been training dogs for about 10 years. He brought two German shorthaired pointers to the trials - a 5-year-old male named Slick and a 3-year-old female, Mickie. Mickie won second place in the open all age stake.
Living in Honolulu, Tom said it is sometimes difficult to take his dogs out to the countryside but he makes sure they get out two to three times a week "or else they'll tear the house apart."
"The instinct is bred into them," he said of pointer dogs. "You just have to get them out and onto birds."
Although this was his first competition on Maui, Tom is an avid hunter. He said that he flies to Molokai every hunting season and also to Seattle, where he embarks on a hunting trip that takes him all the way to Montana.
Molokai veterinarian Stewart Morgan also competed in his first competition on the island, bringing a 5-year-old half-pointer, half-retriever named Bruce, and an 18-month-old Brittany spaniel named Glenn.
Morgan traveled to the Valley Isle the night before the competition and spent the night with his dogs in his rental car. It was well worth the night in the car - Glenn was awarded first place in the derby stake (dogs between 6 months old and 2 years old).
Makai said this was the first year that contestants from other islands participated, and that he would like to continue to build on that progress.
"I'd like to see the competition continue to grow," he said. "My goal would be to have more field trials held on neighboring islands."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (477 votes).
In short: Really enjoyed it but some tough hillsDate of review: January 14, 2011
In short: Wonderful race in glorious scenery - just a bit wet at the beginningIn full: Thankfully I was staying in Fort Augustus which meant that my bus didn't come until 8.40am - a nicer time to be starting the day. It was a little chilly on the top waiting for the start and I did feel for the Ethiopian elite woman (it was her first trip outside her own country). The pipe band were a nice touch that brought a smile to most faces and the first mile was super fast, you just need to rememeber to put the brakes on. First half was wet and very rarely flat. Loved the guy with Scottish music blasting from the back of his 4x4 on his drive. The sun came out and the course flattened out until mile 18/19 and that was a long mile. Lots of smiling faces along the route, especially a couple on bikes who cheered me through about 4/5 times. Thank you for that! Loved the finish down the riverside. Overall, this is a race that everyone should do at least once. Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: My first Marathon - Absolutely Fantastic!!In full: This was my first marathon and it was fantastic! Having being plagued by injuries I still managed a great time. Loved the route, but then i quite enjoy hill running. The atmosphere was great and the supporters at Dores gave a great boost just before the "hill". There were a few supporters along the route which was great to see, especially the guy playing Scottish music from his car. After that the second half seemed to go by much quicker than the first half. My kids took part in the Wee Nessie while i was doing the marathon which was a great way of passing the time for them at a very wet and muddy Bught Park! They were delighted with their medals. Once the sun came out they had a great time on the bouncy castle and slide. There was great support along the final 100mtr and the commentator did an excellent job of shouting out as many runners names as he could. The post race meal was good - a nice touch and the goody bag and medal were worth the effort. Went to the pasta party the day before which was ok but perhaps not worth the money. Doing Edinburgh Marathon in May - it will have a lot to live up to. Definitely coming back to this event next year.Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Made my first marathon extremely enjoyableIn full: I loved the scenery, the medal, the wee groups of people handing out sweets and chocolates, the other runners cheering you on, the fantastic organisation. All we needed was buses for the long (over an hour!) trip to the start with toilets on them to stop us all rushing into the woods when we (no pun intended) arrived! I loved the police escort and the pipers playing us off. Some tough hills - especially at mile 5 and 18 but if you're willing to walk it's a good chance to take on some fluids and eat some gels. I thought I'd only ever do one marathon but this was so enjoyable I might be back!Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: There is a reason that this race is on everyones to-do list.In full: A fantastic spectacle for both the supporter and participant. Everything from the bus convoy to the marshallers to the cheering spectators to the finish in the city centre is first class and extremely well organised. Having experienced both Edinburgh and Loch Ness I would recommend this over it's sibling in Edinburgh!The day itself had a little of everything: a wet, windy, cool start that blossomed into a gloriously sunny afternoon finish. That seemingly endless hill at mile 18 was a bit cheeky! My apologies to the young lady running next to me for the expletives when I first clapped eyes on the hill. It was a toughie after 18 undulating miles. You may not achieve a PB running Loch Ness but I guarantee that it will put a smile on your face from the moment you start to the moment you finish.Date of review: October 9, 2010
In short: An excellent race all round. The course has a few hills and it did rain a bit, however, the scenery and support from marshals, spectators and other runners make this a run to remember for all the right reasons. I'll be back next year.Date of review: October 9, 2010
In short: one of the most scenic races I've ever doneIn full: start felt really quick having been bused out of Inverness in a convoy. Bit wet to start, but kept you nice and cool, lovely miles along loch ness and then a hill at about 19 miles that seemed to go on forever - cruel! Really friendly relaxed race.Date of review: October 9, 2010
In short: Fantastic and scenic marathon!In full: My first marathon and I found it very tough when the hills really set in around mile 18... I'll do it again, but not before I've got a bit of experience of flatter courses!Date of review: October 9, 2010
In short: The Scenery, course and atmosphere are excellent. The second half was less dramatic and less hilly, more support with a frustrating last 1.5 mile listeneing/ watching people finish.The first half, the atmosphere and the police escort make it a must. Date of review: October 8, 2010
In full: An excellent day even with the early start to meet the bus to the wet and windy start couldn't fault the organisation getting all those buses there and the stag by the side of the road - picture postcard stuff - enjoyable run a testing 2nd half a couple of nice rolling hills would do it all again next year!

Tim Cohane's 10-year fight to clear his name, or at least the chapter accusing the University at Buffalo of ruining his big-time college coaching career, may be coming to an end.
A federal judge is recommending dismissal of Cohane's lawsuit against several former and current UB officials, the forum for his allegations that the university conspired with the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Mid American Conference to trump up charges against him.
Cohane was given plenty of opportunity to challenge his 1999 resignation from UB and the NCAA violations against him, U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder said in a lengthy report.
Schroeder's recommendations – they must still be approved by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny – are the latest development in a suit that includes allegations of illicit behavior by one coach, bribes and threats by Cohane and intimidation and bullying by officials at the NCAA and UB.
"The university is pleased but not surprised by the judge's decision," UB said in a statement Friday. "We've maintained that Mr. Cohane chose to voluntarily leave university service in 1999 rather than exercise his due process rights."
Cohane, who is suing the NCAA as part of a separate lawsuit, won an appeal in that case and is likely to appeal this ruling, as well.
Cohane's suit against UB and the MAC, as well as a second suit against the NCAA, stem from his resignation – there's a question as to whether it was voluntary – as head of the men's basketball team in late 1999.
"Our resolve remains undaunted," Sean O'Leary, Cohane's lawyer, said in an interview Friday. "This is another step in the process."
In his suits, Cohane accuses the NCAA of concealing evidence, altering testimony and bullying his former players into signing false affidavits as part of its investigation into alleged violations at UB.
At the heart of his legal fight is the belief that he was forced out as head coach because of a flawed investigation. He also argues that his former boss, then-Athletic Director Robert Arkeilpane, was behind an effort to push him out the door.
Even before the investigation was complete, Cohane resigned and UB was placed on two years' probation.
"We have consistently said that the university dealt fairly with this situation at the time, and the university accepted NCAA and MAC penalties imposed as a result of rules infractions," the university said in its statement.
Since Day One, the NCAA, MAC and UB have argued that Cohane's resignation had more to do with his unethical behavior as coach than his claims of a grand conspiracy.
Chief among the allegations is the claim that Cohane violated NCAA rules by watching uncommitted recruits play pick-up basketball in the UB gym, a charge Cohane denies and UB officials claim was confirmed by the MAC and NCAA investigations.
They also claim Cohane tried to intimidate and bribe his onetime assistant into lying to NCAA investigators.
Cohane's lawsuits have attracted national attention in large part because one of them is against the NCAA, which is under attack in courts across the country.
In addition, his suit against the NCAA challenges one of its most cherished legal protections – the notion that the organization is exempt from some of the Constitution's most basic rights, including the right of individuals to legal protection from the government.
"We are ramping up for a court hearing on coach's case against the NCAA," O'Leary said of a hearing next week.
Cohane's suit is similar to the landmark case filed by former Nevada Las Vegas basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. Tarkanian's case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and resulted in an 1988 decision preserving the NCAA's long-standing protections.
Cohane, by contrast, has had some success against the NCAA.
In 2007, a federal appeals court ruled in Cohane's favor – the Supreme Court let the ruling stand – when it overturned a lower court ruling dismissing his case. The suit is now back before Skretny.
For Cohane, the lawsuits are about more than taking on one of the nation's most powerful amateur athletic associations. He genuinely feels wronged by the NCAA, UB and the MAC.
In his court papers, he claims his departure from UB is rooted in the two men most eager to see him leave – Arkeilpane and fellow assistant coach Eric "Rock" Eisenberg.
Arkeilpane never denied his unhappiness with Cohane, but he says Cohane's conspiracy claims are baseless.

LOCKPORT – Demands for hearings by applicants for Social Services benefits in Niagara County have increased so much that the department has had to hire an attorney exclusively to handle the caseload.
Social Services Commissioner Anthony J. Restaino said last week that the hiring of David M. Heim, at a part-time salary of $40,000 a year, was included in this year's county budget as a response to the demand for "fair hearings," as they are called in state law.
Restaino said that nearly 1,000 more people applied for welfare, Medicaid, food stamps or home energy assistance in 2012 than in 2011. And in 2011, the number of applicants was 450 more than in 2010.
Not all of the applicants are approved, and those who are denied benefits may demand a hearing before an administrative law judge.
Heim's hiring comes at the same time as a shuffle of attorneys within the county government.
Theodore W. Janese III, who had been an assistant county attorney, is joining Social Services as a part-timer assigned to litigate child support cases.
Janese said he was interested in the child support job because it offers a more fixed schedule than working in the County Attorney's Office.
He succeeds Angela Stamm-Phillips, who left Social Services to accept an appointment as deputy clerk of Niagara County Surrogate's Court.
To replace Janese, County Attorney Claude A. Joerg hired Brian D. Seaman away from the District Attorney's Office.
"If I can get someone with his trial experience, why wouldn't I want that in my office?" Joerg said.
Seaman, who worked as a prosecutor for six years, said he was interested in making the move because it allows him to open a private law practice, which full-time prosecutors are not allowed to do.

The Tahoe Truckee Airport District Board of Directors has a successful track record in our community. The Board leadership had the vision to acquire Waddle Ranch in the flight corridors in the Martis Valley.
The community benefits from this acquisition with wonderful hiking trails and maintains fire protection management. More recently the Board stepped up and help fund the Tahoe City Golf Course, and at the same time acquiring space for an emergency landing space for helicopters.
The Board has responded to the needs of the community, they have listened to us and the Airport is a local resource we can be proud of.
Since $4 million of our local property taxes goes to the Airport we want them to be good stewards and good neighbors. They have been both. Board members don't need to be pilots; they need to be informed, interactive and inclusive. This slate is all of that and more.
Tom Van Berkem and Mary Hetherington deserve re-election, they have done a fine job. Newcomer Lisa Wallace is a known leader in our community and I believe she will make a fine Board member.
I urge voters to support Tom Van Berkem, Mary Hetherington and Lisa Wallace for election to the Tahoe Truckee Airport District Board.

Sanford police are beefing up patrols after 11 different shooting incidents in the past few months.
The most violent of the shooting scenes may have started in Sanford and ended on Interstate 4 in Lake Mary.
Kenneth Hunt II was shot while he drove on I-4 westbound with a female friend Christmas Eve.
Officials said Hunt is accused of drug trafficking and there is a warrant for his arrest because he had cocaine and a stolen gun with him the night he was shot. He vanished after he was released from the hospital.
Police said they believe there is an ongoing feud between two factions in the city and they've established a task force to reduce the violent encounters.

A new proposal has emerged to reorganize the Erie County Comptroller's Office to address concerns from top budget staff that a plan to hire more accountants would cost the county extra money.
Deputy Comptroller Gregory Gach said the Comptroller's Office would eliminate an $84,833 vacant chief of accounting services job along with five clerical jobs to offset the cost of the new accounting and information technology positions.
An earlier proposal to replace five mostly vacant clerical jobs with higher-paid positions drew criticism from budget officials in the administration of County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz because it would have cost about $69,000 in added annual salaries and fringe benefits over the current payroll.
The new proposal, which would delete six jobs and replace them with five accountants and an information technology specialist, would keep the total cost of the salaries in the office about the same as before the reorganization, Gach said.
"We can't guarantee it will save money in the out years, but their explanation is plausible, and we're accepting it," said Budget Director Robert W. Keating.
Keating said he also received assurances that the Comptroller's Office would take steps to make sure that the plan wouldn't cost more money during the next three years.
County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw, who took office in January, wants to increase the number of accountants in his office to make up for deep staffing cuts during the last two decades.
Twelve jobs requiring accounting degrees were eliminated from the Comptroller's Office during the last nine years, Gach said.
Gach said he was concerned that there was no plan in place to bring on and train new accountants before others retire.
"It's highly unusual to have all these vacancies," Gach said. "Rather than simply just replace clerical with clerical, this is an opportunity to actually improve the office, especially with the fact that the vast majority of my accounting staff can retire fairly quickly."
Gach said the duties of the chief accounting services and the clerical positions would be picked up by other employees once the reorganization plan is put into place during the next few months.
The updated plan would still need approval from the Erie County Legislature. Legislators earlier this week tabled the initial proposal after administration budget staff raised concerns about its cost.
"If it doesn't make sense, dollar for dollar, we're going to call him out," Poloncarz told The Buffalo News earlier this week. "And that's why our budget office looked at this and said, 'it does not add up.'"
Under the original proposal, Mychajliw had planned to delay filling most of the jobs until mid May so that the new salaries wouldn't add any cost to the 2013 budget.

David Fluellen emerged from the locker room Saturday still wearing full armor along with two rubber bracelets. One over his left wrist confirmed he made a sound decision to play college football at Toledo. Another over his right wrist was a shout out to the Bills, his way of taking Buffalo with him.
Fluellen knew he was home when he stepped off the bus and walking into UB Stadium with dark clouds above, high winds and persistent rain. It's what people in other parts of the country deem a miserable day. For a running back from our region, it spelled an afternoon in October that was perfect for football.
As you might expect, the Lockport native left his long sleeves in his locker and embraced the elements. He also rushed for 228 yards on 35 carries, both career highs, and two touchdowns in a 25-20 victory over UB.
"It was a very special moment out there,'' Fluellen said. "It was a moment where everything was clicking and exactly what I pictured my homecoming to be. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I'm happy at Toledo right now. I made a great decision."
UB certainly wished Fluellen was somewhere else, anywhere else. He gashed the Bulls for 144 yards on three possessions in the third quarter alone. He covered all 86 yards on four carries – four carries – with runs of 17 yards, 49 yards and 19 before plunging in from the 1 and a 19-14 lead.
On the previous series, he carried Toledo for its final 59 yards with gains of 21, 21 and 9 before slicing through the middle from the 8. He was unstoppable. He gained 178 yards in the second half. He passed the 1,000-yard mark for the season in the first half. It felt like he gained that many in one game against UB.
"I loved every second of it," he said. "It felt good to be back, playing in front of my hometown friends and family. It was a great homecoming."
Fluellen gathered 65 tickets for friends and family who seemingly made up half of the crowd Saturday. They watched him run wild at Lockport High, so his performance Saturday was nothing new. He said it felt like a high school game with the weather and emphasis on running. In the third quarter, he made UB look like high school kids.
And that's a problem.
Too often, UB playing at home feels like a high school game – only with fewer spectators. Paid attendance was 10,658, which means roughly 10,200 people bought tickets to the game and elected to stay home. There were a few hundred people in the stands, counting the marching band. That's not a joke.
Fluellen said all the right things, about UB playing hard – they did – and telling anyone willing to listen how much he loves Buffalo. It doesn't mean Buffalo is an ideal place to play Division I football. Fluellen figured he was better off sitting on the bench at Toledo for two years and getting his chance as a junior.
It was tough to argue with Toledo coach Matt Campbell, who insisted Fluellen was one of the premier backs in the country. He has rushed for 100 yards in five straight games, averaging 178.8 yards rushing per game over that span. All he needed to hit the average Saturday was the second half against UB.
"I have a high standard for myself," Fluellen said. "I always wanted to do better than what people think I can do, just to prove them wrong. I read this preseason all-MAC list. I wasn't on the list at all – not second-team, third-team, anything. I want to prove those people wrong and show I can be one of those type [of] guys."
Fluellen likely carried Toledo into the Top 25. The Rockets should have a spot waiting for them when the rankings come out next week, especially with Rutgers and Ohio losing Saturday. It's what he envisioned when he selected Toledo over UB. His homecoming couldn't have been scripted much better.
Where does it go for UB?
The Bulls have lost six straight and fell to 1-7 this season and really, honestly, they're not as bad as they appear. Their record is just as deceiving as the Bills' mark for opposite reasons. UB stayed within a touchdown against Connecticut and Ohio. It couldn't disguise the loss to Northern Illinois, but there was little shame in a 20-6 defeat to Pittsburgh.
UB had Toledo scrambling after taking a 14-7 lead into the second half. A win would have been the biggest of coach Jeff Quinn's tenure. The Bulls should have stayed in the locker room. Toledo made a few minor adjustments, which mainly called for getting more bodies against UB's front seven, and handing the ball to Fluellen.
Twenty minutes after the game, still wearing every piece of equipment but his helmet and still smiling, Fluellen was anxious to shower and get back outside. His parents were waiting for him near the team bus. He was banking on them sending him back to Toledo in a way any Buffalo kid would appreciate. "Hopefully," he said, "they got some Duff's."

$1.8 billion in taxes = 13 cents in citizen's fees
A reader named Mike called me the other day after Gov. Rick Perry's State of the State speech.
You might remember in that speech Gov. Perry advocated for giving Texans, "tax relief of at least $1.8 billion over this biennium." A biennium, for those non-government-lingo types is two years.
That's a big number, $1.8 billion.
But if you divide it by two – remember the whole biennium thing – that's only $900 million per year.
And giving it back to the taxpayers…well, first of all, who exactly are "the taxpayers?" The big bulk of the state's revenues come from sales taxes. And everyone, from the young kid buying a $1.29 candy bar to the older kid buying a $100,000 sports car, pays taxes.
According to the U.S. Census, there are about 26 million of us in the state, about 19 million over the age of 16. It'd be fair to say that the over-16 group would definitely fall within into the sales-tax category.
Let's see…four, carry the three…that comes out to a whopping $47.36 per person per year. About 13 cents a day.
If, despite the fact that property taxes are local taxes, Gov. Perry thinks of "the taxpayer" as a homeowner, well…there are roughly 10 million housing units in the state. I don't even have to put pen to paper on that one. That would be $90 a year per housing unit. Or about a quarter a day per house.
Now, Perry's suggestion comes after lawmakers cut $5.4 billion from education in this…um…biennium. So one might think the $1.8 billion could come in handy for schools.
That was what Mike was calling about. He thinks the tax-cutting versus funding debate could use a little tweaking.
"I think we should quit calling it a tax and start calling it a 'citizen's fee,' " he said.
Hmmm. Maybe he's got something there. "Tax" certainly does sound burdensome and onerus. Citizen's fee sounds like a civic obligation, a responsibility.
It's all how you look at it, how you break it down.
Earlier in the year the Governor asked for suggestions on how to give the $1.8 billion back to the rightful owners.
Far as I'm concerned, sir, turn my 13 cents (or even a quarter) in citizen's fees over to the education of Texas' children.

Your child had surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition that causes food or liquid to come up from the stomach into the esophagus. This is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
During the operation, the surgeon wrapped the upper part of your child's stomach around the end of the esophagus.
The surgery was done in one of these ways:
Your child may also have had a plyoroplasty procedure to widen the opening between the stomach and small intestine. The doctor may have also placed a g-tube (gastrostomy tube) in the child's belly.
Most children can go back to school or daycare as soon as they feel well enough.
Your child may have a feeling of tightness when swallowing. This is from the swelling inside your child's esophagus. Your child may also have some bloating. These should go away in 6 to 8 weeks.
Recovery is faster from laparoscopic surgery than from open surgery.
You will need to schedule a follow-up appointment with your child's primary care provider or gastroenterologist about a week after the surgery.
After your child goes home, you will slowly get him or her back to a regular diet.
If your child had a g-tube (gastrostomy tube) placed during surgery, it can be used for feeding and venting. Venting is when the g-tube is opened to release air from the stomach, similar to burping.
For pain, you can give your child over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). If your child is still having pain, call your child's doctor.
If sutures (stitches), staples, or glue were used to close your child's skin:
If strips of tape were used to close your child's skin:
Do not allow your child to soak in a bathtub or hot tub or go swimming until your child's doctor tells you it is okay.
Call your child's doctor or nurse if your child has:

The American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 29, of Elkins, recently hosted a bingo fundraising event. The event was successful, and we wanted to extend our thanks to everyone who was involved to help make the function run smoothly.
First and foremost, we would like to thank the community members who came out and supported our cause by purchasing tickets, raffles and food from the concessions. Without the support from the community, it would not have been a success.
We also would like to thank all the Auxiliary members who either donated time, money or items for the raffles.
There also were non-Auxiliary members who helped with the fundraiser. American Legion Post 29 members who helped clean and set up - your hard work was appreciated. Also, we want to give a special thanks to "Uncle Dave," who helped set up the sound system so our voices could be heard.
Finally, there were several businesses that donated items that were used as door prizes, raffles or for the concession. Those businesses that we would like to thank are: Seneca Designs, Talbot's Frame Shop, American Mountain Theater, the Gandy Dancer Theatre, Rustic Corner, Camden Creek Primitives-N-More and Kroger.
If there is anybody that was missed, do not worry - your donations were greatly appreciated!
We would like to thank everybody who was involved and helped make this fundraiser a success.
We hope that when we choose to have this function again, we will have the same support from the community.

LOCKPORT – The time needed for a defense expert to conduct a psychiatric examination of murder defendant John R. Freeman Jr. will force a postponement of the Feb. 25 trial stemming from the death of 5-year-old Isabella S. Tennant of Cheektowaga.
Defense attorney Robert Viola told Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III Thursday that Dr. Louise Feretti, a Williamsville neuropsychologist chosen by the defense, will interview Freeman Feb. 11-13. The time needed to compile a report forced a delay in the trial.
Feb. 25 is now the date for a hearing on the admissibility's of Freeman's statements to police. The new trial date will be chosen then. Viola is planning a possible mental health defense for Freeman, 17, of Sixth Street, Niagara Falls.
He is accused of strangling the girl while babysitting her Aug. 26 in the Niagara Falls home of the victim's great-grandparents. He then called a friend, Tyler S. Best, 18, of Barnard Street, Buffalo. Best went to police the next day and led them to the girl's body, which he said he and Freeman had dumped in a stolen garbage tote and left in an alley. Best is charged with evidence tampering.

Any one had any problems with the Diesel Particulate Filter. My Insignia SRI CDTi 160) is 3 years and 5 months old. 5 months out of warranty and it went into Limp Mode (30 MPH top speed).
A visit to Perrys told me my DPF was blocked, this was due to short journeys ! I do 40-60 Miles per day in my job, around town using motorways to get around South Yorkshire.
After checking with a computer they found the Turbo pipe had split (3 years old ! ). They replaced this and did a forced Regen (down the motorway with the computer connected and overrode all the commands. This cleared it (they told me).
They then charged me £300 for this. (it still lack pulling away power and at change of gear low revs a slight kangroo driving mode).
I month later, "Limp Mode".
Took it back, they did a Regen again, new codes from Vauxhall, this will cure the problem ! (no cost).
I rang Vauxhall Uk with my concern. They said it was due to short journeys, when I explained how many miles I do for work, it was "the new codes will cure it"!
3 weeks later: "Limp Mode" !
My local dealer just took the keys without saying anything!
I am waiting for them to say it needs a new DPF (about a grands worth?)! I doubt Vauxhall will want to offer any help !)
Any body else who does short journeys of 60 miles a day, causing their DPF to block up ?
Let me know please.

First Donald Jones, now David Nelson.
The Buffalo Bills have declined to welcome back their second-leading receiver from each of the past two years.
Two days after Nelson expressed alarm about learning on Twitter the Bills would not bring him back, the Bills announced Sunday they will not extend a qualifying offer to him.
Nelson was a restricted free agent. Without a tendered offer, he will be free to sign with any team without the Bills receiving compensation.
"We spoke with David Nelson's agent this morning and informed him that we will not tender David," Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said in a team statement.
Nelson, an undrafted rookie in 2010 from the University of Florida, was a popular overachiever. In his first year, he caught 31 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns.
His 61 receptions and 658 yards in 2011 were second on the Bills to Stevie Johnson. Nelson also had five touchdowns, including a dramatic 6-yard grab with 14 seconds left to beat the Oakland Raiders in the home opener. The receiver was credited with starting 13 games in 2011.
But Nelson suffered a season-ending knee injury on opening day against the New York Jets last year. He had caught two passes in that game, bringing his career totals to 94 catches for 1,042 yards and eight touchdowns.
At the Super Bowl media center three weeks ago, Nelson told The News he expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp.
"The way it's progressing right now, I'm hoping to be full-go for OTAs," Nelson said. "I'll try to work myself in slowly and then be full-go for mandatory minicamp and then hit camp at 100 percent.
"It was a blessing to have it happen so early. Now I can be ready to go."
The Bills last week announced they would not tender Jones, another 2010 undrafted rookie with health issues. Jones had 41 catches for 443 yards and four touchdowns, stats that ranked second among all wide receivers behind Johnson.

UNIVERSITY?PARK - Up by 20 points, or down 20.
A preseason practice in an empty gym, or a Big Ten road game with title implications on the line.
No matter the situation, Penn State's enthusiasm doesn't seem to waver.
Confident and collected, the eighth-ranked Lady Lions are the preseason Big Ten favorites. Senior point guard Alex Bentley leads the way for a veteran team with the potential to play well into March.
They seem to be just as happy playing hoops in October and November, too. The new season starts Sunday with a visit from Lafayette.
"They love being in front of a big crowd. They love being in front of nobody," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said about her team. "As long as we have a ball, and a court, and a rim, what could be better than that?"
Well, a second straight Big Ten title and a deep run in the NCAA tournament would be a good start. Penn State (26-7, 13-3) is coming off its first NCAA regional semifinals appearance and first regular-season Big Ten title since 2004.
It's a natural progression after steady improvement under Bentley and this core of players the last few years, from budding rebuilding project to preseason Top 10 program. Penn State has its highest preseason ranking since starting 2003-04 at No. 7.
But the Lions promise they're not focused on those expectations, though they seem pretty confident about how good the team can be.
"We just want to be playing our best at the end of the year. That's about it," Bentley said after Saturday's 95-39 exhibition win over Division II California, Pa. "We're going to try and get better each and every day, but as long as we're playing at our highest potential at the end of the year, we're going to be happy."
Bentley (14.1 points, 4.7 assists) is the sparkplug for the potent offense, someone

He's been "shoved down our throats" because he's been consistently the best player in the league. He had all the pressure in the world put on to him to save a franchise, and he delivered. He scored the gold medal winning goal for Canada. He's won the Stanley Cup.(on the ice at Joe Louis...ouch!) I can see why that pisses people off. Datsyuk was whining last night when he thought a call wasn't made against him. Big deal. Every player does it. Does he do it more than other players? Maybe. So what? Players do what they can to get an advantage. I'm sure no Red Wing has ever dove or faked an injury to try and draw a penalty, EVER.
So all the "outrage" is over one anonymous poll from 5 years ago when he was 21? If that's what gets you worked up, have at it.
The only issue I have with Crosby was him not following the proper handshake protocol after winning the Cup. I think Canadians would have went bats*** crazy if a European player had done the same thing. Otherwise, I just don't like Crosby because he plays for another team and he's good. Nobody really hates players on other teams that suck.
Datsyuk never said a word to the ref. He just went into a glide behind the net. He likely knew that a call was on it's way and hence floated away. When do you ever see Dats say anything to a ref? If anything, Z is the vocal one but he's freakishly intense, not whiny. It's really all about how you play out the situation. If you come across as a whiny idiot, the refs don't listen, and especially if you whine constantly about everything. Take Tuzzi for example, he gives the ref an earful every time he gets a penalty. The likes of Dats and Glendening don't say a word. Crosby also ******* about every single call that goes against his team. Hell, he pisses and moans about consussions, yet he never said anything was wrong with Cooke's hits to peoples heads. Z complains about bad calls and he skates off quietly when he deserved the penalty. It's perception I guess, but many perceive Crosby as a whiner where they don't perceive Dats and Z as them. Toews better be careful before he gets the label as I stated in my last post. I think another good example of the Z like Captain is Backes, where he's the intense guy that knows when he's been had on a call and skates silently to the box when he's been caught red handed.

The following article was taken from the website of the Huntington Herald-Dispatch. It highlights the work of many of the professors researching in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program at Marshall University.
CHARLESTON – There is no shortage of exciting research going on in the laboratories at Marshall University. Scientists and technicians from this region and from around the world have converged at Marshall to do research on topics such as heart disease, cancer and many others. Their research might one day save a life, or at least make someone's life better.Their work might not be easy for the layperson to understand, but university and business officials are working diligently to help ensure the work West Virginia's scientists are doing also results in three simple words: dollars and cents.
The economic potential for bioscience research in West Virginia is still hard to grasp, but there is a lot happening already and much optimism for the future.
"We are looking at a pipeline of commercial opportunities coming out of research being done in West Virginia," said John Maher, vice president for research at Marshall University.
Officials from Marshall, West Virginia University and several business related to the bioscience industry gathered last week for the Second Annual West Virginia Bioscience Summit, held Wednesday at the Marriott Hotel in Charleston.
"This conference is a unique opportunity for people interested in the biosciences to get together and get an update on the status of the industry over the last year," said Derek Gregg, CEO of Vandalia Research here in Huntington and chairman of BioWV.
The summit featured presentations from West Virginia University, Marshall, Mountwest Community & Technical College, Vandalia Research, Protea, TRAX Biodiscovery, and others to talk about what their organizations have accomplished over the past year.
"This also allows new collaborations and partnerships to be developed," Gregg said. "Additionally, we had substantial representation from out-of-state organizations looking for new partners and opportunities."
The biosciences in West Virginia are growing rapidly and the state's credibility is increasing in the United States and around the world, Gregg said.
"We are spinning out new enterprises, and some of those enterprises are raising capital and hiring people," he said. "Protea was recently recognized world-wide as having one of the top 10 innovations of 2011. They now employee over 50 people."
Four companies are now being housed and supported at Vandalia Research's facility in Huntington, including Progenesis, Maven Analytical and Parabon Nanolabs. These companies sell to pharmaceutical, chemical and diagnostic companies around the world, Gregg said.
Marshall has a lot of exciting research under way right now, said Dr. Richard Niles, senior associate dean for Research and Graduate Education at Marshall's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
Here are some examples:
Dr. Piyali Dasgupta is looking at lung cancer and at how capsaicin, the hot stuff in chili peppers, which inhibits the growth of cancer cells in animals.
Dr. Nalini Santanam is looking at the effects of age and gender on the fat around the heart, and at oxidative stress in endometriosis.
Dr. Eric Blough of the Center for Diagnostic Nanosystems has 16 different projects going on.
Dr. Jingwei Xie is working with glass tubes for bone tissue engineering.
Dr. Hongwei Yu is working on genetic regulation of biofilm formation by pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that can cause disease in animals.
Dr. Pier Paolo Claudio is doing cancer research that involves gene therapy using microbubbles for delivery of a virus.
Niles is co-founder with Yu on the biotech business Progenesis, which provides natural, biodegradable polymers for industrial and medical applications through genetic engineering of bacteria. He talked about his experience of starting a biotech business at Wednesday's Summit.
The universities are working to help others make discoveries and translate them into businesses as well. And the state is helping.
Both Marshall and WVU have received state funding for research through the West Virginia Research Trust Fund, providing $35 million to WVU and $15 million to Marshall for research, provided they come up with a match. WVU has reached its goal and Marshall has $9.4 million secured in gifts and pledges and the potential to reach, or go beyond, its goal very shortly, Maher said.
The universities also have attracted a lot of federal grant funding, all of which rolls over in the local economies as it provides high-paying jobs that attract scientists to the community.
Also in Huntington, Mountwest Community and Technical College is hard at work training students to become biological technicians, environmental science and environmental protection technicians, biomedical laboratory technicians and health technicians, said Jean Chappel, dean of Allied Health at MCTC.
It has a state-of-the-art lab where they can learn molecular diagnostics, tissue culturing, electrophoresis and use a digital fluorescent microscope.
MCTC also works on community outreach, not only targeting science teachers but high school and middle school students. It has a camp where "they're isolating DNA just like they do on CSI," Chappel said.
Over the course of one week, students' aspirations might change from working a minimum wage job to becoming a PhD scientist, she said.
The college wants to help the state have "a well-rounded, educated workforce that wants to stay right here," Chappel said.
It's great to see several different parties working toward the same goal, said Laura Gibson, deputy director of the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center and a professor at WVU.
"The greatest measure of our success is really how we partner," she said.
Capital formation, attraction and retention of talent, and community development are focus areas for Bio West Virginia in the coming years, Gregg said.
"Incentivizing investment in this area is critical," he said, "Nearly all of our neighboring states have a program or programs for stimulating investment in high-technology, high-growth, high-RISK businesses to stimulate economic development. West Virginia has had programs in the past that were successful in helping companies raise capital, such as the High Growth Business Investment Tax Credit.
"BioWV is strongly encouraging the renewal of this and other programs that can help companies transition from the campus to the market."

REPUBLIC - Frank Brickner, owner of the property at 210 Center St., which had been scheduled for demolition if not brought up to code by June 1, approached the village with a proposal for refurbishing the building Monday night.
He had spoken with Seneca County Health Department before the deadline and received verbal agreement for putting new siding, a steel roof and doors on the facility, to be used as an outbuilding for a woodworking shop, and a general clean-up around the building within 90 days of council's approval date.
After much discussion, Solicitor Jim Gucker suggested, and the council moved, to ask Brickner to return to the next meeting providing them with a written statement from the health department, a contractor's estimate of demolition costs and a surety bond to cover those costs in case the work is not accomplished.
Village Administrator Crystal Hoepf learned after contacting Ohio Department of Transportation about mowing along state routes through the village that they would only trim to the corporation limit. Mayor Bruce Lambert said he would address Scipio Township trustees at a later meeting about the mowing.
She also reported ODOT was going to repair the street bumps on Kilbourne Street starting June 17. Adkins Fencing is to erect a new fence around the village complex later this week or next week.
Hoepf would like to see the hydrant painting completed by June 30.
Hoepf informed council that zones 1 and 2 have had their tree trimming or removal completed. Councilman Mike Oberlander asked who was responsible for the stump removal after the trees have been downed. Gucker said the homeowner is to be responsible for those costs.
Hoepf relayed that Rubin Youngblood from Ohio Rural Water was supplying the village with a GPS system for locating water shutoffs.
Police Chief Don Holmer announced the Republic/Scipio Township Fire Department may be interested in purchasing four extra emergency radios from the police department.
Fiscal Officer Monique Delaney announced the state is providing the village with a new computer for the UAN software and services and received the council's authorization to proceed with requesting a laptop model. She reported all funds contain $1,006,204.89 with $400,000 invested in certificates of deposit. The cash summary by funds was presented and the financial report approved.
Members discussed the 2014 budget, suggesting projects including curb and sidewalk repairs, burying downtown electrical wires, repairing drainage tiles, water meter replacement and painting the water tower along with donating money to the Lions' Club for the continued upkeep of Community Park. The budget deadline is July 19 and Lambert remarked the local government funding has been cut in half since 2007.
The meeting moved into executive session for discussion of litigation.
In other matters, council:
Learned the Republic Festival is set for July 27.
Noted that renovations have started in transforming the former Farmers' Caf into Smokey's Family Restaurant and Tap.
Council is to meet at 6:30 p.m. June 17.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
To find a da Vinci thyroid surgeon, call 800-777-7775 or browse da Vinci physicians.
Worldwide, thyroid cancer affects 123,000 people a year and this number is expected to rise.1,2 Women are affected by this disease more often than men. Thyroid cancers are often diagnosed after nodules are found by the patient or during a routine exam. It is usually diagnosed between ages of 30 and 50.3 Fortunately, when caught early, most common thyroid cancers respond well to treatment.3
Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck. Using the essential nutrient iodine, your thyroid produces hormones that regulate every aspect of your metabolism - from your heart rate to how quickly you burn calories.
There are several types of thyroid cancer. Papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma are the most common. Only a small fraction (less than 5%) of thyroid nodules are cancerous.3 Generally speaking, cancer begins in cells - the body's basic unit of life. Normally, healthy cells grow and divide to form new cells that perform their functions before eventually dying. Sometimes, cells do not die but continue to divide and create new cells the body does not need. These extra cells form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. There are two types of tumors; benign tumors are not cancer and do not spread, but malignant tumors are cancer. They grow and invade normal structures near the tumor and can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
Your doctor will discuss thyroid cancer treatment options with you in detail. Generally, treatments include:1
Treatment plans often use two or more of the above options, but surgery is the main treatment for all thyroid cancers.1 Surgeons perform a thyroidectomy - the removal of all or part of the thyroid, as well as the cancer. Since most thyroid cancers are often located in the left and right sides of the thyroid, most surgeons remove most of the thyroid gland.2
This operation is called a subtotal or near-total thyroidectomy. For cancers smaller than 1 cm. (½ inch) that show no signs of spreading, surgeons often perform a lobectomy – removal of only the affected side of the thyroid. When cancer has spread outside of the thyroid, surgery is always used to remove as much cancer as possible. Also, because it may spread to nearby lymph nodes, they may also need to be removed. The two traditional surgical options for thyroid cancer patients are either open or endoscopic surgery.
Open surgery is considered effective but requires surgeons to make a 6-8 cm (2-3 inch) incision in the neck which leaves patients with a long and visible scar.3,4 Also, their view into deeper structures of the neck containing delicate nerves is limited.5
Endoscopic or laparoscopic thyroidectomy is minimally invasive and also considered effective for selected patients, but it can also leave visible scaring; the incision is usually about 2.5 cms (1 inch).3,4
One of the complications of these procedures is voice change. Patients are advised to select a surgeon who protects the voice by using an electronic nerve monitoring device during surgery.6 Also, following surgery most patients become hypothyroid, which requires treatment with a hormone supplement.7
If your doctor recommends surgery to treat thyroid cancer, you may be a candidate for da Vinci Surgery. Using this technology, the disfiguring and traumatic aspects of traditional open surgery are avoided. da Vinci Surgery offers thyroid cancer patients numerous potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including:
If you are a candidate for thyroidectomy, talk to a Community surgeon who performs da Vinci Thyroidectomy.
While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.

Post-it® Notes + Evernote
Evernote helps you remember what's important. And now, it takes your Post-it® Notes with you wherever you go. Whether it's a to-do list, a reminder, a sketch or a big idea, just capture your Post-it® Note in Evernote. Then save, tag, search and share it across all of your devices.
Evernote Solution
Write or sketch on your Post-it® Notes. Jot reminders, ideas, and to-dos.
Upload and save your notes using the Evernote app.
Evernote makes everything searchable, even your handwriting.
See your notes on your phone and computer, and share them with anyone.
Evernote in Action
How Evernote Can Help
Study Aid
Whether you are trying to learn a foreign language, chemical equations, mathematical or physics formulas or biological processes, you can make digital flashcards to drill with.
- First, create a notebook in Evernote and assign a Post-it® Note color.
- Then, write each item you need to learn on the same color Post-it® Note.
- Next, capture each note with the Evernote camera in Post-it® Note mode. Your notes will automatically populate the notebook you created.
- See that? You've just made digital flash cards! Review them wherever you have access to Evernote, which is pretty much anywhere.
Feedback Loop
To get the best feedback, make it easy to give. Make drafts, designs, comps, and presentations available in shared Evernote notebooks and solicit feedback on Post-it® Notes captured with the Evernote camera.
This even works for testing the waters on possible directional shifts for your department or business. Your staff can write their two cents on a Post-it® Note and leave it for you to collect. Or they can capture it with the Evernote camera and save it to a shared notebook for your review.
Collaboration and Brainstorms
Need to generate great ideas? All you need is a stack of Post-it® Notes, some Post-it® Big Pads, a table or a wall. You can use this technique while working solo or together with a team. With Evernote, you can work together in the same room or when working remotely.
During the work session, pose a question and set a short amount of time for everyone to generate ideas on their Post-it® Notes. As people present their thoughts, arrange them on the wall or table. And allow people to add to the mix if one idea sparks another, or a variation on an emerging theme.
At the end of the session, you can further organize the Post-it® Notes and sheets from Post-it® Big Pads and capture them using the Evernote camera in Post-it® Note mode. Then auto-tag them or assign meaning to the colors before saving your notes into a shared (or private) Evernote notebook. Between the tags, colors and search capability, it's easy to track them down when you or others are ready to build upon your early ideas.
Think of something later? You can always add to the Evernote notebook whenever inspiration strikes.

Systemwide Events Calendar
The Political Economy of Korea's Transition, 1961-2008April 25, 4:00pm - 5:30pm
Manoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Auditorium
Dr. Jongryn Mo, professor in the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, will discuss the findings of his study, co-authored with Barry Weingast, regarding South Korea's remarkable transition since 1960.
Mo will concentrate on three critical turning points: Park Chung Hee's creation of the development state beginning in the early 1960s, democratization in 1987, and the genesis and reaction to the 1997 economic crisis. Based on his research, Professor Mo will offer a new view of how Korea—in contrast to nearly every other developing country—was able to maintain a developmental state with sustained growth and what role the security threat and bureaucratic meritocracy played in the developmental state.

Her new song, "Work B––––," is a dance anthem, but Britney Spears says her upcoming album, which is due out in December, features more than a little heartbreak.
"It's the most personal album I've done," Spears, 31 admitted Friday on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "After having a huge breakup this year, I had a lot to say in the studio, so it was really nice to have a therapy like that and to be able to share that with my fans … so it's a real personal album."
The "huge breakup" she's referring to is her January split with fiancé Jason Trawick. The pair, who were engaged for a year, began dating in 2009, but Trawick had long been a part of Spears life as a member of her management team.
The mom of two – who's set to begin a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Dec. 27 – isn't worried about reliving the bad times with her ex when she performs the songs in concert.
"Usually the stuff that really comes from the heart is usually the best stuff and has the best beat and really kind of helps you get over the breakup really easy, 'cause you sing about it and have to think about it every night but then you're like, 'It's okay! I'm performing now so it's totally fine.' You get over it and it's like a therapeutic way to get over it."
Spears, who's now dating lawyer David Lucado, announced her "Britney: Piece of Me" Vegas show on Good Morning America on Tuesday but admitted that things didn't go smoothly as she flew on a helicopter to a remote location in the desert to make the announcement.
The singer got sick as what was supposed to be a 10 to 15 minute ride turned into 50 minutes spent circling over the location.
"I'm a horrible flyer and then at one point we couldn't circle anymore," she said. "We had to stay in one place so we could shoot the people [who were on the ground holding cards to make a giant picture of Spears] and the helicopter kept dropping and going lower. I just got really, really nauseated, and I thought I was going to throw up on everybody. It was really embarrassing! I was like, 'Oh God, you've got to get me on the ground now!' "
