In 1968, then Town Councilman Harry Hitopoulos cited area growth, saying, It appears that ample water really governs an areas expansion. The sewage disposal problem is still in the mill with the optimum solution being sought.
In discussing growth, he pointed out several commercial ventures that had been launched, including a new seafood restaurant, a planned marina, an outlet for a national chain which distributes auto tires and accessories, and new motels and additional service stations on the bypass.
In regards to suburban living, Hitopoulos commented on the significant increase in subdivisions such as Snee Farm, Creekside, Parish Place, Wakendaw (Lake Woodlawn), Porchers Bluff, and the plans of Georgia-Pacific and others indicated the high desirabality to live east of the Cooper.
At that time, Millwood and The Groves were seeking annexation into the town.
In closing, he said it was crucial that citizens seriously consider the desirability of seeking another bridge.
He said it would take a year to convince the state that a bridge is vital to the areas continued expansion, another year for testing, design, etc., and at least two years to construct.
The proposed marina at the time was being considered for the southern end of Pitt Street but faced resistance.
Our petitions simply express our opposition to the marina and our opposition to the granting of any lease by council of the fishing bridge for any purpose other than its present use that of a fishing bridge for individuals, said opposition spokesperson Jay Muller, who lived at 955 Pitt St.
As we know today, that plan was shot down, and the would-be location of the Pitt Street marina became Otis Picket Park, a town-owned greenspace.
In December of that year, the town Christmas parade was sponsored by the Jaycees and featured over 100 floats. The parade lined up at the corner of McCants and Rifle Range Road and proceeded to Moultrie Shopping Center.
In 1968, nursing homes and retirement homes were called rest homes and the IRS stated that close relatives did not have to be a member of your household to be claimed as a dependent. For example, an article read, a person can still claim a parent as a dependent if they go into a rest home.
Stay tuned each week as the Moultrie News uncovers clips from East Coopers past. It was all documented by Moultrie News reporters from 1964 and on.

HTC One X vs Sony Xperia S
|This story is supported by Protect your bubble, to find out how to insure your smartphone and tablet from loss, theft, and damage, click here.
Call quality with the Xperia S is a bit better than on the One X, with loud and clear voices in the earpiece on our end, while the other side said we sounded very clean and with strong volume. The noise-canceling mics managed to weed out the ambient sounds while we were talking. The One X performs pretty well in terms of volume and clarity of the conversation, too, but is just a level below the earpiece and microphone(s) performance of the Xperia S.
As we mentioned, the loudspeaker on Sony's phone is very strong, too, meaning that it will be unlikely that you miss a call, while the One X unit is simply average.
The Xperia S has a 1750mAh battery against the 1800mAh juicer in the One X, and they are both non-swappable, meaning you'll have to make do with whatever battery life the manufacturer has in store with the handsets until you hit an outlet.
The 1750mAh battery is rated for the commendable 8 hours and 30 minutes talk time in 3G mode, 25 hours of music playback, and 6.5 hours of video playback. HTC doesn't quote official talk times, but some independent testing pegs it as very efficient in that regard, easily surpassing the 10-hour barrier in 3G mode.
We looped an HD clip at 75% brightness and the Xperia S battery went from hero to zero 10 minutes before it reached the 5-hour playback mark with Wi-Fi off, but connected to the HSPA+ network. If we had placed the brightness on 50%, the Xperia S would probably hit the six hours and thirty minutes video playback threshold it quotes for itself, which is about the norm for most high-ends. The HTC One X fared only a bit better on the same test, passing the 5-hour mark with five minutes.
Another feature in the Sony Xperia S is the improved lithium-polymer technology that allows the device to charge in half the time of a regular battery. This might affect the battery longevity down the road, but at least you'll have good times while it lasts.
There is no arguing that the HTC One X feels more modern than the Sony Xperia S with its slim, light and curved profile, plus the uniform HTC Sense interface over the latest version of Android. The Xperia S, on the other hand, is quite boxy and heavy in comparison, while the Timescape UI over Android 2.3 is no match for the streamlined Sense 4.0. Its design, however, offers a few perks that set it apart, like the transparent illuminated strip at the bottom, and a dedicated camera key that makes it the fastest sleep-to-snap smartphone out there, not to mention the size makes it more suitable for one-handed operation.
As for the power under the hood – granted, the One X with its Tegra 3 quad or dual-core Snapdragon S4 is superior to the S3 on the Xperia S, but that would be insignificant to the normal user as long as the interface and apps run well, and they do on both phones. What would concern every user is battery life, though, and that is pretty comparable on both devices, with a slight advantage going to the One X.
Design is a matter of personal preference, but if HTC's focus groups are to be believed, Android users now prefer slim and light smartphones with big screens, which, of course, would give the design round to the One X. Both phones have sealed batteries, micro SIMs and no microSD slots.
So, to sum it up – the Xperia S makes more appealing pictures and video than the One X most of the time, and has a tad better call quality plus more potent loudspeaker, while the One X excels in chassis design, processor power and screen quality, as well as in the interface and software integration.
Thus it comes up to what's more important for you from the above mentioned features, and whether it justifies the $50-$100 price premium the unlocked HTC One X commands before the Sony Xperia S for the latest and greatest.
Software version of the reviewed units: 6.0.A.3.73 (Sony Xperia S), 1.29.401.7 (HTC One X)

one x wins..........
18. Muhannad (Posts: 455; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
True but if the Xperia S had a Snapdragon S4 chipset then the differences will become almost nothing in hardware.
76. lamborghini666 (Posts: 2; Member since: 13 Aug 2012)
who the hell said u dat one x won ... r u using one x ...if u r using it den dats a crappy phone compared to da xperia s in terms of clarity,sound,camera the only thing lacking in xperia s in ics nd i hav upgraded it nd it simply rocks...so u better dnt argue ......
2. rg987 (Posts: 130; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
looks dis tym htc have only focused on looks of the phone,screen.......................sony has focused on camera ,screen,looks,loudspeaker.etc
PA review pts. as well as USER review pts. of XPERIA S are HIGHER than ONE X............
one x loses................

Do you read the things that you type?
6. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Just proves pa reviews are very wrong. The one x is a better phone, doesn't mean the xperia s is not a good phone, it is. But the s3 was a stupid idea and so was gingerbread
19. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
People complaining about the S3 processor on the Xperia S is really wrong. Looking at the price range, the Xperia S is meant for the Mid range level as it is some $150 dollars cheaper whilst the one X is the High end flag ship with a price range of $650. The Xperia S is the flag ship device in the "Mid range" level and no other phone in the "mid range" can compete and surpass the Xperia S in the market right now. So a decent and still fast dual core processor for top "mid range" phone with some high end spec. incoporates in order to give some high end user experience with a mid range price. So if you can paid $650 or whatever contract price for your high end flag ship, by all means. But just taking the processor and complaining about the dated processor is simplily unjusted because of different range phone. It is just like comparing skills at different level which is simply not justified.
30. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Well, i believe the One S is in this "mid range" category. The S3 is not a bad processor, but you can tell Sony was looking for a top of the line phone with this, not mid range, 12mp camera and 720p display dont scream mid range at all.. Calling this phone mid range is wrong.
31. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I think the Sony LT291 " hayabusa" coming out later this year from Sony will be a more high end phone than this Xperia S because it will have an Snadraggon S4 processor ; bigger screen with larger battery and ICS out of the box. So, Sony has raised the standard of the mid range with this Xperia S to make it a fantastic phone at the mid range which is hard to beat, at least for the moment. I think other manufacturer should follow this standard of the mid range phone as well the price range. This Xperia S should be compared with the HTC one S whilst the Sony Xperia "hayabusa" shiould be compared with this One X. Right now, PA is just comparing a HTC high End phone with the best phone in the mid range from Sony, so the result is not realistic.
32. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
now you're saying the Xperia should be compared to the One S when before you said it had no competition? When this phone came out, it was not considered mid range, why is it mid range now, the mid range is the xperia P
58. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
I dont see how a 12 mp camera with a 1.5 ghz processor and 342 ppi!!! IS MID RANGED!! do you?
8mp camera
1.4 ghz processor
312 ppi
But this is labeled "HIGH END" because it is QUAD CORE??
60. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
The iphone 4s has Worse specs than both of these phones yet they label it "HIGH END" ...Stop fooling your selves the Xperia S is most definitely a High end device... And to be honest, I REALLY dont think you Samsung lovers would want the Xperia S on a Quad core because it would PROVOKE WAYY TO MUCH jealousy!! and most of you would consider leaving Sammy for Sony
61. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
uhhh....thats what im saying....it isnt mid range, when it was announced it was, but mow its more like high mid range
74. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
By 2012 standard, any phone comes with dual core or older processor should be classified as mid range phone regardness what other features were put in it, while single core phone should be reserved for the entry level range. Dont forget phones in one particular range can have variious features and spec. That is why mid range phone has different price points and can be of low end and high end too. Since the price of this Xperia S is cheaper than the devices like HTC one X, Samsung Galaxy S3, etc. Therefore, by 2012 standard, this Xperia S should be REGARDED as a mid range phone although it has high end spec of last year standard.
33. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Sony wouldn't go and make no high end phones, 2 mid, and 1 low end when the phones are going to be released at the same time and when it is their flagship (and only) line
52. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
the ONLY way I could see "mid range" would be the price and that still isnt mid if you ask me....just cause its not as much as the crappy iphone doesnt mean its mid range by any means.... In fact that is what makes it better because it has HIGH end specs with a way better Price range... Wich satisfies your pocket as well as your geek side in every way ......Cant beat that with a Stick
57. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
One word for Sony for making this phone and pricing it the way they did.....BRILLIANT! High end Spec wise, and Mid-to high end Price wise ........ This has Brilliant written all over it!
34. RamyRamz69 (Posts: 390; Member since: 12 Dec 2011)
Yeah sure, you can pay an extra 150$ to get a Quadcore SoC which you won't even feel the difference of in everyday use.
Agree on the Gingerbread part though.
37. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
i would rather have the att version with s4. Well ya i would rather spend more money than get a device i dont like very much, common sense.
55. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
you know man its bull s**t to start thinkin dual cores are less now that quadcores are starting to come out..... Does anyone here find there dual core "laggin" or under performining? i dont think so but its like you said pay 150 extra for something you honestly wont even notice in everyday use...something more relevant to me would be screen size or design, now that is something to take notice of....Im pretty sure the xperia s isnt THAT far behind if behind AT ALL performance wise with the HTC....if you add up the pros and cons i bet the XPERIA would win every time... Sony definetly made a Smartphone here!!
15. rg987 (Posts: 130; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
once ICS on the xperia s , ur gonna love that than everything........its awesome.............even ICS on xperia arc is awesome then how wud it be on xperia s...............................unbelieveable...................

You're overall typing doesn't bother me as much as how many periods you use. I mean really? You don't have to be perfectly grammatical, but the time you take to put all of those dots you can type a few extra letters. And the phrase "i hv got to do millions of work a day" is just ridiculous.
56. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
The Xperia S is an Unbelieviable Phone with or without ICS but man with ICS will make it even more complete...
45. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
can the Xperia S take pictures while video recording? Is Xperia S Android 4.0 ICS? Does the Xperia have Quadcore? Is the xperia S easy to hold or the One X? Is the Xperia S lighter than the One X?
Answer all this and you will know why there are a lot of HTC Fans out there, and why the One X is a great phone, or possibly a breakthrough in technology made by HTC.
49. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
when it gets ics it can, not yet, no, yes, thank god no.
Then we have another couple of questions.
Is the one x more expensive?yes
Is the one x designed by a kid? yes
Is the one x ugly? yes
Does the one x feels cheap? yes
Is the screen quality better on the one x? no
does the xperia s make better pictures? yes
does the xperia s make better videos? yes
does the xperia s has better audio quality? yes
oh yeah ofcourse forgot about this one(cause they are phones)
Wich one has better call quality? Oh yeah ofcourse the xperia s
We can go on and on with that stupid kind of list of yours.
it all depends on whay you think is important in a phone.
And the xperia s is a high end phone but not like the one x or s3. the hayabusa won't be either. the mint on the other hand will be if the rumors are true
4. hitechredneck (Posts: 97; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Lets face it Sony came out with a winner without Ericsson.
5. hunted (Posts: 403; Member since: 21 Sep 2011)
this is until mint comes from Sony, lets see then
7. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Have to say, id give the screen to the Xperia S having used both (own the XS) especially when viewing videos and pictures, and I personally prefer the design too, I mean lets face it, the one x still doesn't look incredibly different to last years HTC, whereas Sony have been more adventurous design-wise. Yes the One X is more powerful as shown by the benchmarks and both are brilliant phones, that's just my opinion anyway :)
8. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Stop with the post-purchase justification.
Show me a phone that HTC released that looks like the One X.
17. Muhannad (Posts: 455; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
I think what @Aaron is trying to say is that HTC phones have become incredibly recognizable by their design and something different from what they offer is a plus.
23. fsjon (Posts: 119; Member since: 03 Sep 2009)
Exactly, the One X design is more of an evolution over the Sensation, where as the Xperia S is a completely new design. Most people will have a hard time telling the difference of most HTC phones from the last years from the distance.
65. LoonyLynx (Posts: 13; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Dude please ! Post-purchase reviews are the most sincere ones ! The guy is using the phone ! Obviously he knows more than you or anyone who hasn't used the product ! The S is a peace-of-mind phone (battery issues will be fixed with the ICS upgrade) and moreover, the X also has it's own fair share of issues !
38. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
The HTC Amaze 4G looks very similar to the One X.
40. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Not really. It has a couple similar characteristics, but very similar, not at all.
41. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I meant the Inspire 4g. Sorry for the confusion. I am very scatter brained due to AP tests next week.
43. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Ah yes, AP exams suck. I wouldn't know, but my brother does. But I'll be in AP Bio and English next year. And still, the inspire doesn't look that much like the One X. The front kind of, it's a bit more square than the One X, but the back is entirely different. And it doesn't have to nice edges the One X has
53. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
AP Bio. Do you have a death wish. That class is impossible.
62. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Eh, my brother's in there and I help him with his work. It doesn't look too hard if you put the effort into it. Though I'm a pretty fast learner, so I can memorize stuff easily and start studying habits quickly
63. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I almost took it, but doing AP Bio and an AP History is crazy hard because both are so time consuming. I would have had to read a few chapters a week in AP Bio and a few chapters in AP Euro plus the busywork for AP English Lit and comp, AP Calc AB, and AP Physics C mechanics. But I graduated yesterday, so AP classes are a thing of the past. Oh, and the AP test for AP Bio is one of the hardest. I do still think the HTC Inspire looks very similar especially the camera placement and the general shape of the back, but i so agree the front is similar, but almost all android phones look just about the same from the front.
64. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yeah, I'm probably gonna be in AP Bio, AP History, AP English, and maybe make an appearance or two in Calculus just to get a hold on the material so I'll be ready for it. But anyways, the shape and camera placements are all very general in all phones, either flat, or curved. And the camera is either in the middle or to the side, minus a few odd ones. The One X back is made of poly-carbonate with only an aluminum ring around the camera lens, but the inspire has alot of metal on the back
46. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
i buy phone not just for looks?
9. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
One S & One V, I kid, but no I mean similar in form-factor to Sensations and desire's (ie same shape body, and basic aesthetic design, just bigger and slightly thinner without the fancy shell) other than that, similar to the other HTC's.. not saying I don't like it though, so don't get all defensive on me.
10. schecter7 (Posts: 99; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
lol.....looks like Sony did a great job on XS with the S3! It's putting up some fight against One X. However, if Sony is planning on releasing their S4 powered devices early next year, I'll be done with their phones for good - I need a new phone in two months!
12. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
The 'Hayabusa' that's meant to be coming out in June/July will most likely have a dual core S4 chip, with the Quad cores coming next year :)
13. schecter7 (Posts: 99; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
I hope so, dude! But based on their past track record (rumor to market time used to be around 1 year:P), I'm not very optimistic at this moment :)
36. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Sony is always late to the party. Not that the S3 processor is bad, it's just they could've used the S4. I mean really, why use an old processor on something that's supposed to be high end-ish?
50. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
cause sony(ericsson) always makes software tweaks to get the most out of the hardware unlike htc/samsung.
And the s4 is meant for the hayabusa and quad core for the mint both will come out this year if they don't have delays.
The s3 works like a dream on the xperia s.
Doen't crash or something like that.
battery life is also very good for smartphones these days.
I can go on for almost 2 days on 1 battery load.
And i have almost always wifi on and surf atleast 2 hours a day and youtube 1hour calling 1hour.
I think that is pretty good
67. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Sony already used S4 snapdraggon processor in their new xperia line, but only for their Japanese home market, not for foreign market. All foreign buyers get a more inferiror device than their Japanese counterpart, so Sony is giving all the advantage to their own people.
69. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Pretty sure that's not it. Their putting the S4 in the Xperia GX and SX. The GX is more or less an updated Arc because of its curved body, and will be released as the next Arc most likely. The Xperia S was launched with the S3 because that's what Sony put in it, there's no special Japanese edition

This is not even worth the effort. The onex is better at everything. the xperia s screen looks colorless in comparison. The onex is simply better at everything. the processor, the screen, the skin(sense) the looks(one x is thin ) larger screen, better battery life beats audio and htc media link are good features. its light. gpu how can we forget the better graphics. better sound quality when calling. faster browsing and faster lte. Android 4.0 out of the box. and i am forgetting a hell lot of features. and forget the one x, the one s also is a hell lot better than xperia s.
22. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
yes, because the One X is the High end flag ship device which should compete with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 . The Xperia S is only meant for a mid range phone with some high end spec. incoprated. But it is still a mid range phone. People should not judge this phone from the high end phone points of view. Rather it should be looked at as a mid range phone with high end spec. It should be competed with HTC One S instead and no mid range phone in the market right now can ever compete with it in terms of spec, design, performance, and price.
71. LoonyLynx (Posts: 13; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Just because there are now 2 phones costlier than this phone, doesn't makes it a mid-range phone. The Apple iPhone has always been costlier than all the android phones ! So do you mean to say that last year the Samsung Galaxy S2 and other comparable android phones were mid-range ? Cz Apple iPhone was still costlier than those ! The answer would be no. Price decides whether the device is a value for money product or not. Whereas the specs determine whether a device is high-end, mid-range or entry-level. No doubts that in a few months when there will be lots n lots of quad-core phones in the market, a dual core phone will be considered as a mid-range device. But as for now, it is pretty high-end ! Nd the One X nd S3 are novelties ! :)
51. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
you're wrong about that.
go check out both phones in real life and you'll see the screen on the xperia is is better not at viewing angles cause with the htc you can almost look from the side and still see.
and about the looks and feel the htc can't compare.
the quality of the audio trough speaker/headphones is better on the xperia s.
calling with the htc is good but not better than with the xperia s.
I think you have never tested both phones otherwise you would know the most tricks the xperia s also has are better than on the htc
70. LoonyLynx (Posts: 13; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Dude you're way off ! From what you wrote, it's pretty clear that you haven't used any of these phones ever ! Or any phone from Sony ever for that matter ! The screen is just larger on the X but it's better on the Sony Xperia S. The X is thin no doubt, but the S looks way better in comparison ! It's a first of it's kind design ! Beats Audio is just a gimmick, sound is off the charts superior on the Sony, be it from the loudspeaker or the headphones or even on calls ! The X obviously takes the cake in the processing and graphics department but that's it ! Do some research first buddy :)

Yes, The One X is more powerful , but it is for the High End range. It should compete with the Galaxy S3 due to arrive soon, but should not be competing with a mid range phone like Xperia S. I think phonearea is not doing the comparision correctly as they are selecting phones of different level and try to say which one is better. This will cause confusion to the actual potential buyers who has a limitation on price in their mind. I think the Xpera S should be competing with the HTC one S which has a simular price range and both belong to the mid range instead and the result should be more realitic.

Big news: 7'8″ Harlem Globetrotter to get Dallased up at Wild Bill's Thursday
They're going to need some mighty long tape measures to fit 7'8″ Paul 'Tiny' Sturgess for Cowboy boots and hat at Wild Bill's in Dallas. Sturgess, who has received more than 5.3 million views to date on his No Jump Dunk on YouTube, was recognized by Guinness World Records in 2011 as the World's Tallest Professional Basketball Player (he also wears size 20 shoes). He'll get his Dallas duds Thursday at 2 p.m. from store owner Wild Bill Dewbre himself.
It's all part of getting the native Brit ready for his Harlem Globetrotter Dallas debut at the American Airlines Center Feb. 2. I'll have more details in my Family Fun column Feb. 1, but if you can't wait, we've got them at guidelive.com.

comfortable car
by tom from newmarket ,ontario ,canada | August 26, 2012
Bought this car new. Fortunately had 7 year extended warranty.Replaced alternator,front power steering,4 shock absorbers outside warranty, rear taillites due to leaking , brakes had to be realigned Key starter had to be replaced etc. The majority of repairs were on extended warranty. The car has about 68000 miles on it and now runs well.Milage is 12-16 mpg on regular gas.Repairs are expensive.Body is in excellent no rust condition with wax sealer. Needed too many repairs/replacements vs other cadillac models.

Love my 97 Seville STS
by Paula from Renton, WA | June 17, 2012
My family owned Deville's, and that was my original choice. I found this car by chance. After I drove her, that was it. No regrets! Deville's have a smoother ride, but the Seville's are just plain fun!

by Engineer from Macomb, Michigan | May 9, 2010
Just turned 140,000 miles, still runs strong and very reliable. Normal replacements considering car's age(13 years):battery,radiator,tires,mufflers. All other features still work well, A/C blasts cold air when selected. Most pleasant surprise, no rust, anywhere. Have noticed no rusted through 1992-1997's, regardless of condition. Michigan winters are brutal on vehicles. Simple, clean and attractive design is handling the test of time very well. Again, would highly recommend.

Great luxury car with plenty of acceleration
by Greg from Carlsbad, CA | August 31, 2006
This car handles like a fine European touring car such as the BMW 500 series. The 300 horse power engine can push you back in the seat when necessary. The luxury appointments of the climate control, memory power front seats and all the other luxuries make driving or riding in this car a real joy. Seeing and driving the car it is hard to believe that it is a 1997 model. It looks, rides and drives like a much newer STS model.

by Content '97 STS owner from Macomb,Michigan | July 5, 2006
Have owned and leased over 150 cars and trucks over last 40 years. My '97 STS is flat out,pound for pound and dollar for dollar the best vehicle I've ever owned.Runs and performs so well,don't want to let it go. Bought it used in May 2000 and has given me,so far,108,000 reliable miles. Notice how many '93-'97 Sevilles are still on the road? 200,000+ miles without major repairs are very common. Drivetrain is practically bullet-proof and delivers 20+ mpg.

The city plans to rip out the former men's jail cells and turn the unused space into a detective office, providing Det. Dave Talbert with more room for interviews and evidence processing.
"Right now, Det. Talbert has no room," Salem Police Chief J.T. Panezott said.
City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday authorizing the appropriation of $7,000 within capital improvements, to be combined with $7,000 from the police department's Drug Enforcement Administration funds to cover the estimated $14,000 cost for the project.
The room, estimated at 12 feet by 24 feet, contains four jail cells that haven't been used since 2003, which the chief considers wasted space that can be repurposed. He explained that Talbert is working four major cases at the moment and has no room to work, which sometimes involves spreading out files and evidence.
"It's going to make his job easier. He's going to be more effective at his job," Panezott said.
He's also a one-man division at the moment and that's something else the chief would like to change in the future, to get back to having two detectives. The department last had two detectives in 2008. The new detective office will include room to grow.
Plans call for the steel jail cells to be removed piece by piece and sold for scrap, which city Service/Safety Director Ken Kenst said he was told could fetch as much as $3,000 to $4,000 that will be deposited back into the capital improvements fund. He contacted Stitle Construction in Salem, which had provided the estimate, and work could begin in the next week or so.
Panezott said new flooring will be installed, along with a wall and dropped ceiling. They'll use furniture they already have or can beg from somewhere else to furnish the office.
"We're doing this as cheap as possible," he said.
Talbert's current office will be turned into a records room. Panezott said he's been working on getting paperwork better organized and a room for records will help with that.
The female jail cells had already been removed several years ago, with the space turned into the dispatch center.

Charmey is just a few kilometres away from Gruyères and Bulle, on the road leading to Jaun and the Jaun Pass. For a long time, the village was the main production centre for the tasty Gruyère AOP cheese, when the cheese was still primarily made up in the mountains. Nowadays tourism is the main industry in the little village. The museum tells you about the history of this rural area.
Gruyère Baths: The Gruyère baths in Charmey are set against the backdrop of the breathtaking pre-alpine landscape. It is the perfect place to unwind and to enjoy some pampering! The Gruyère baths have two large swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor, boasting an array of water features, such as swan-neck showers, mini whirlpools, massage nozzles and jets. Depending on the season, the natural spring water, which is rich in mineral salts, is heated to 32-33ºC. There are Nordic and Oriental steam baths, such as sauna, hammam and Turkish baths, as well as several chill-out areas. The spa also offers traditional sauna sessions and aquagym classes. The Well-Being and Beauty Centre on the first floor offers a range of beauty and wellness treatments, including massages and balneotherapy.
For walkers and lovers of Nordic walking and mountain biking, Charmey is just the right place: there are various tracks marked out, for example on the Vounetse mountain (1627 m) with its fine views, and there are maps showing them too. At the middle station of the cable-car you can test your skills and courage in a rope adventure park with five routes. There are signposted paths with information boards about the alpine economy and the flora and fauna, drawing your attention to the special features of the landscape. Finally, at the top station there is an alpine cheesery where Gruyère AOP cheese is still made in the traditional way over a wood fire.
The Jaun Pass connects the Gruyère region with the Simmental in the Bernese Oberland. In summer, the steep, weather-beaten slopes of the Gastlosen (1998m) attract many hikers and climbers to the area. Nearby Jaun, at the foot of an impressive waterfall, is close to the language border between French and German. Here it is worth visiting the old cemetery with its many wooden carvings, recalling the previous occupations of those who are buried there.
Skiers can take the cable-car up to the Vounetse in the massif of the Dents Vertes. The six lifts, a snowpark, floodlit cross-country tracks, snow-shoe routes and mean there is a wide range of winter sports available. The family-friendly skiing area of Jaun, with its four lifts, also offers all the benefits of a compact skiing area for families with children. There are other nearby skiing areas on the La Berra (1720 m) and Moléson (2002 m).
Let yourself be charmed by the mountains! Charmey offers holidays in a unique setting where nature and tradition are respected and cherished. Discover the many facets of this Prealpine region at any season, all year round.
The idyllic landscape around Charmey is formed of ten valleys. Among the rivers, lakes, Alpine meadows and mountain peaks, hikers and mountain-bikers can find a host of signposted trails of varying levels of difficulty. There are plenty of attractions for families, too – including an adventure rope park, mini-golf and the Rapido Sky gondola. Panoramic cabins (each accommodating 8 people) bring you to the summit of Vounetz (1,650m), and glorious views of the Prealps.
The traditional world of the Alpine pastures twinned with the magic of the "Bains de la Gruyère" spa: wellbeing and relaxation in their purest form!
- The Vounetse mountain (1630m) – a lovely destination for an excursion with a panorama of the Pre-Alps of Fribourg and many leisure activities (rope park etc.).
- Jaunbach (Jogne) gorge – natural landscape with unique fauna and flora between Broc and the dam on the Lac de Montsalven.
- Gruyères – picture-book little medieval town on a small hill, dominated by a castle and a large show cheese-making factory.
- Moléson – mountain (2002 m) with fine views, restaurant, astronomical observatory, summer sledging run and via ferrata (fixed-cable climbing route), one of the largest skiing area in the Fribourg region.
- Bulle – centre of the Gruyère region, the little town is worth a visit, with the Gruyère Museum of Heritage and Customs.
- Visit Cailler in Broc – Switzerland's first chocolate factory, built in 1898 by the chocolate pioneer Alexandre Cailler.
Top Events
- International Triennal of Paper Art – celebrating all aspects of creativity with paper (June).
- Festival of Swiss wrestling in Charmey – competition for national stars of Swiss wrestling and a heritage festival (July).
- Open-air cinema on the Vounetse – combination of panoramic views and cinematic delights (August).
- Procession of cows down from the mountains, and craft market in Charmey – big festival with lots of regional traditions (September).
- Traditional hay-cart racing – original-style hay-carts compete, with prizes also for their artistic design (October).

"They were very affectionate throughout the meal," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
The couple enjoyed oysters, stone crab, pan-roasted sweet corn and filet mignon.
Earlier this month, a friend of Klum's told PEOPLE that the relationship between the model-turned-mogul and Kirsten is "complicated" but that Kirsten is Klum's "no. 1 confidante."
While their relationship is yet to be publicly confirmed, during a recent appearance on Katie, Klum spoke fondly of Kirsten, explaining that he has "cared for our four children and helped us tremendously" since working for her over the past four years.

This week, there are a number of accolades and concerts aimed at young audiences, and it's always wonderful to see young artists taking center stage.
Community performances are where the next generations of stars are born, and some of our local talent is amazing.
Deeply involved in Charleston's music life — in fact, music is their life — young concert artists Caleb Borick, Benjamin Halford, Jenny Yao, Ashley Yoon and Justin Yu will perform music by the masters at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Charleston Library Society, 164 King St.
The young musicians, ages 7-15, are students of the Charleston Academy of Music and were selected to perform for their virtuosity in addition to their community involvement. Popular with audiences for their performances at residential facilities for the elderly and other outlets, these performers also are recognized by their teachers for their hard work, dedication to their craft and high achievements.
The evening includes music by Bach, Chopin, Vercini, Moszkowski and Beethoven. After the concert, join the young musicians, their families and teachers at a reception with light refreshments. All are welcome to this free concert.
Orchestra sets record
The Middle School Orchestra at the School of the Arts in North Charleston recently returned from the All-State Orchestra auditions in Columbia for the 2013 Orchestra. Preparation and practice paid off.
A record 16 students from the school achieved All State status for the 2013 Orchestra. It is the highest number of students to make it into All State in the history of SOA.
Likewise, it is the most students to make it from any one orchestra program in the state, including any high school orchestra.
Nanako Shirai, an eighth-grade student, earned the top violin score and was designated concertmaster. The assistant concertmaster position went to Lila Berle, also an eighth-grader at SOA.
Andrew Englehardt, cellist, and Zach Kontenakos, bassist, earned the second highest score in their sections as well.
Students are individually judged in a number of categories including intonation, rhythm, tempo and the ability to correctly play their assigned music. The competition includes students from across the state in public and private music instruction programs.
The All State Orchestra will take the stage Feb. 22-24 at the Koger Center for Performing Arts in Columbia.
'Snow White' returns
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? You know the answer: Snow White. It's hard to believe Disney's animated "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is turning 75 this year. It's become a beloved children's classic.
To celebrate, the professional dancers of the Charleston Ballet Theatre and selected students of the CBT Center for Dance Education continue their familiar Children's Series with a revival of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
The performances are at 2 and 5 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. next Sunday at the Sottile Theatre at the College of Charleston.
Tickets are available at www.charlestonballet.com or by calling the CBT box office at 723-7334.
Tickets: adults $24, children $12.
Pitching a cappella
For the third year, Charleston HALOS and the Charleston Jewish Federation will host the Duke University Pitchforks to raise funds for local abused and neglected children.
Founded in 1979, The Pitchforks are the oldest a cappella group at Duke University. They have sung the national anthem at Chicago Bulls and Duke basketball games and performed before the Queen of Jordan.
New this year, the School of the Arts High School Singers will be the opening act. The concert will be 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Circular Congregational Church. All ticket proceeds will go to HALOS.
Tickets are $25 in advance ($10 for students) or $30 the day of the show and at the door; they can be purchased at www.charlestonhalos.org/events.php.
HALOS provides assistance to abused and neglected children in Charleston County and to their caregivers.
Chamber times two
Chamber Music Charleston will bring two exciting programs of music to Memminger Auditorium on Saturday.
At 1 p.m., CMC will present "Peter and the Wolf" as part of its popular Classical Kids Concert Series. The program begins with an introduction of the musicians and the instruments of a wind quintet, followed by a number of sing-along songs. The musicians then will be joined by a narrator to perform Prokofiev's classic "Peter and the Wolf." The audience may meet the musicians at the post-concert cookie and punch reception.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 4-16 and free for children ages 3 and younger.
At 6:30 p.m. Saturday CMC will bring the spirit of France to Memminger.
Guests can take in the preconcert French bistro atmosphere inside the auditorium. Guests can enjoy fine French wine and Bistro Boxes while vintage French songs of the 1940s waft through the air. At 7:30 p.m., musicians of Chamber Music Charleston take the stage to perform a program of music by leading French composers of the Romantic period.
The concert opens with a chamber version of "La Vie en Rose," made famous by French chanteuse Edith Piaf in the 1940s. This innovative version will feature oboe, piano and strings.
Tickets: $40 bistro table; $25 general seating; $5 students. Bistro Boxes must be ordered in advance. For information and to purchase tickets, visit www.chambermusiccharleston.org or call 763-4941.

text: UCF Defeats Stetson 3-0 on Strikeout Cancer Day February 28, 2013 A three-run fourth inning by UCF proved to be the only offense in the game as the visiting Knights defeated Stetson 3-0 in the Strikeout Cancer game Wednesday night at Patricia Wilson Field. The loss snapped Stetson's five-game win streak and dropped the Hatters' record to 6-6. Jessica Griffin extended her hitting streak to seven games with a fourth-inning double off the right field fence. Brittany Hawn, Chrissy Morello, and Jordan Cleghorn each added singles for the Hatters. Meredith Owen (6-2) allowed just five hits over seven innings while striking out four and walking one. Mackenzie Audas (5-4) struck out nine batters for UCF (10-7). Stetson will return to action Friday afternoon as the Hatters host the Niagara Purple Eagles in a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. Live video and live stats will be available on GoHatters.com. Notes: The Hatters wore pink uniforms and honored cancer victims and cancer survivors throughout the game with video tributes on the outfield scoreboard.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

dont' count on it. MikesDogWhisperer will beat everyone=)
We shall see my friend. I won my league last year. And was runner-up the year before. But the year before that I was a number 1 seed the whole season, then got beat in the first round of the playoffs, lol. The year before that, I was runner -up again. I sorta forgot what happened any years before that.
But really, I love the competition. I want everyone to be really into this league. I want everyone to take it seriously. I want it to be as challenging as it can get. That's what I love about fantasy football. I play fantasy hockey, fantasy baseball, and fantasy basketball also. And from year to year, the fantasy football leagues, are the most competitive and taken most seriously than any of the others I play from year to year. And for me, that makes it the most fun.
Should be a fun year. Good luck to everyone in the league. You'll need it. (just messin, we gotta have some sort of smack talk)lol.

Changing clocks, changing batteries
March 8, 2014
In a release sent to media across Ohio, State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers is reminding Ohioans to make a potentially lifesaving change when they move their clocks forward one hour on Sunday — for mos......
Finally, a good reason to have daylight savings time. It gives people a reminder to change the batteries in their smoke detectors. Of course I still think the public would be better served if we just made a National Smoke detector battery change day and did away with daylight savings time altogether.

broke during first use
I bought them to have an affordable rein that i wouldn't lose if i dropped it on trail. during the first use the small piece of nylon that is glued around the end came loose and the rein dropped from the bit. That is all that is holding the rein together! no stitching whatsoever! Also, doesn't neckrein well because it is so light and stiff it barely touches the sides of her neck. Return shipping was as much as I paid for the reins so I am stuck with the loss.
Oh my godsh I love these reins. I have been copeting in barrel racing for 8 years and never once have I had to replace my roping reins. I wouldn't buy anything but Vaquero Roping Reins. They are the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Father Jorge' Rose From Modest Roots
As a prince of the Roman Catholic Church and the archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was often addressed as "Your Eminence," but he told those he met he preferred to simply be "Father Jorge."
The bespectacled 76-year-old, who was elevated Wednesday by his church to be its supreme pontiff, is widely described as a man of simplicity. He takes the subway dressed in the black garb of a priest rather than flashy red vestments of a cardinal.
When he was promoted to archbishop of his hometown in 1998, he eschewed the palatial residence used by his predecessors and opted instead for a small apartment next door to the cathedral on the Plaza de Mayo, where he cooked his own meals.
That modesty was reflected in his choice of papal name: Francis, after the Italian friar born into wealth in 12th-century Assisi, but who chose to live a life of poverty and who is also venerated for his love of animals.
The new leader's first words in Italian, as he emerged on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome wearing the white flowing robes of the papacy on Wednesday, were: "Brothers and sisters, good evening."
That elicited raucous cheers from the mostly Italian crowd below, many of whom considered the new pope a close second to getting another Italian pope after 35 years since the last one.
"I would like to ask you: Pray for me," the new pontiff said. It was the understated beginning of a papacy that church observers might expect from his Jesuit order, which is known for promoting education and working closely with the poor.
The former Cardinal Bergoglio, who awakens at 4:30 a.m. and improvises his sermons, was born in Buenos Aires to Italian immigrants. Pope Francis studied theology in Germany and was ordained as a Jesuit priest in 1969. He was appointed as bishop in 1992 and six years later was named archbishop of Buenos Aires. He was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2001.
A lover of tango, Argentina's national music, Cardinal Bergoglio is a fan of the San Lorenzo soccer club in Buenos Aires, which was founded by Father Lorenzo, a priest who helped get at-risk kids off the street. The club has a picture on its website of the cardinal holding one of its jerseys.
'This gesture is an invitation to the heart of every Christian, because we never lose if we imitate Jesus, if we … serve our suffering brothers.'
The new pope is also regarded as a bridge builder who may bring an image of humility to a church beset by scandal. People who know him say he has long visited working-class slums, true to his Jesuit origins.
When he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he attended a Mass for a local charismatic organization, according to Pino Scafuro, a coordinator for that organization. After the Mass, he was swarmed by the faithful, so Mr. Scafuro offered the church leader a stool to stand on so he could greet everyone and not get pushed over. Cardinal Bergoglio declined the offer, saying he wanted to be "on the same level as the people," according to Mr. Scafuro.
"He's got a very strong social-justice position that will be much appreciated by the more progressive forces in the church," said Virginia Garrard-Burnett, professor of history and religious studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Although he's certainly not a liberal."
The new pontiff has walked a fine line politically in a country that has often been sharply divided between hard left and hard right. While he has frequently criticized the large gap between rich and poor in Latin America, he never followed many of his fellow Jesuits in pursuing Liberation Theology in the 1960s and 1970s, a movement that sought to lift the living standards for the region's poor. The movement became entwined with Marxist ideologies that were inspiring armed rebellion across the region, in several cases against right-wing dictatorships.
"He didn't want to politicize the company of Christ," his spokesman, Guillermo Marco, told Argentina's Clarin daily.
Pope Francis was the head of the Argentine Jesuits during the country's brutal 1976-1983 military dictatorship, during which tens of thousands of suspected subversives were killed, including several Jesuits. In the aftermath of the so called "dirty war" the Jesuit leader was accused of failing to forcefully confront the regime and tacitly condoning it by overlooking evidence of abuses.
In public speeches, Pope Francis has denied condoning the illegal activities. His supporters maintained that directly confronting the regime risked his death.
Pope Francis told his Argentine biographer that he regularly hid fugitives from the Argentine government, reported the Associated Press. And when two Jesuit priests were kidnapped, he said he convinced a Junta leader's priest to call in sick so he might celebrate Mass at the general's home and plead for mercy. The men were released.
The new pontiff has had a frosty relationship with Argentina's leftist President Cristina Kirchner and her late husband and predecessor, Néstor. In a homily a year after Mr. Kirchner assumed office in 2003, the new pope assailed "exhibitionism and strident announcements" that he said characterized Argentine public life, in what was perceived as a thinly veiled critique of Mr. Kirchner.
'As an archbishop, Bergoglio compared Argentina to a 'sad funeral procession' for inequality.'
Mr. Kirchner's followers suggested that at the time, the then-archbishop was a reactionary and the late president later shot back in what was seen as a swipe at the Argentine cleric. "Our God belongs to all, but watch out the devil also reaches everyone, those of us that wear pants and those that wear cassocks," Mr. Kirchner said.
In Argentina, the new pope is seen as conservative on social issues and has come out strongly against abortion and gay marriage. During a debate over a bill to legalize gay marriage that was eventually approved by Argentina's Congress in 2010, then-Cardinal Bergoglio strongly condemned the proposal in a public letter.
He wrote: "Let's not be naive: this isn't just a simple political fight, it is the destructive pretension against the plan of God."

There have been several points this season when it looked like things were slipping away from the Curve, who bottomed out at 13 games below .500.
Winning isn't the top priority in the minor leagues, but the losing pace the club was on could have made this one long, miserable summer had it continued.
How quickly things have changed.
"We're not going to quit, no matter what," first baseman Justin Howard said after the Curve won their season-best fifth straight game Sunday night, 2-1, over Trenton before 5,382 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
"We're definitely starting to come together pretty well," said pitcher Jameson Taillon, who gave up one unearned run in five innings.
The winning streak has pulled the Curve within seven games of .500 (30-37), the closest they've been in nearly a month. The surge has been impressive on several accounts, most notably that it's come after all-everything slugger Andrew Lambo was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on June 8.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Idle
Next game: Tuesday vs. New Hampshire, 7 p.m.
Record: 30-37
The team could have collapsed after Lambo's departure, and sure enough, the Curve lost their first two games without him. But the five-game winning streak has followed, showing good character from a club that has struggled most of the season.
"You just can't put all the eggs in one basket," manager Carlos Garcia said. "I know Lambo contributed a lot for us, and it was kind of a concern after he left because offensively we weren't doing anything and he was the guy who was carrying the team pretty much.
"That gives you a way to see how united these kids are," Garcia added of the winning streak. "They play hard, and they play with energy."
That's all the manager has wanted to see from the team all year.
"As much as I love to win, winning is not my first priority," Garcia said. "I just want to make sure they battle every night, they fight to play the game."
The Curve have done just that during the winning streak, which started with a doubleheader sweep at New Britain on Wednesday and includes a weekend sweep of Trenton.
"It's fun," Taillon said of the recent success. "You can tell by the way we're playing on the field we're a lot more loose, guys have each others' backs."
Taillon skipped his last start because of a stiff neck and was on a 75-pitch limit Sunday. He struck out six, allowed six hits and didn't walk a batter in his five innings, and while he reported no issues with his neck, he had some other trouble at the end of his outing.
"I got kind of sick at the end, I started like dry heaving a bit in the dugout," Taillon said.
Howard singled home Jarek Cunningham for a 1-0 lead in the second, and Trenton tied it with an unearned run in the fourth. The Curve took the lead for good in the sixth when Adalberto Santos scored on an error by Thunder shortstop Reegie Corona.
"The keys have just been being aggressive on both sides of the ball," Howard said. "There for a while at the start we were kind of just letting the game come to us, so we just made that adjustment and, hey, let's go after it.
"We don't care what the score is, we're going to play hard no matter what. We don't care what the record is, we're going to play hard no matter what. We're a family here, so we've got each others' backs and we're going to pick each other up."
Luis Sanz earned his fourth save by closing things out in the ninth, after winner Quinton Miller (1-1) and Jhonathan Ramos held Trenton scoreless in the middle innings. Thunder starter Mikey O'Brien (4-2) took the loss.
The Curve are off today, then will try to extend the winning streak when New Hampshire comes to town for a three-game series beginning Tuesday.
The club will have a new pitcher for that series as left-hander Eliecer Navarro has been promoted from Single-A Bradenton, where he had a disastrous 1-9 record despite a very good 2.86 ERA in 13 games (11 starts). He lost his first nine decisions this season even though he had a respectable 3.48 ERA up to that point.
Game recap
Key player: RHP Jameson Taillon gave up one unearned run and struck out six in five innings for a no-decision.
Key play: Curve 3B Adalberto Santos scored the decisive run on an error by SS Reegie Corona in the sixth.
Key stat: The Curve have won five in a row, a season high.
How they scored
Bottom 2nd: Cunningham doubled, scored on Howard single (1-0).
Top 4th: Pirela singled, scored on Santos error (1-1).
Bottom 6th: Santos walked, scored on Corona error (2-1).

Baltimore school police union votes against chief
Published 10:32 AM EST Nov 09, 2012
Baltimore school police officers have cast a no-confidence vote in their chief, saying he's ignored their concerns and shouldn't be running the department.
The vote by union members against Chief Marshall "Toby" Goodwin took place last month.
The union president said in a letter to the schools chief executive that 84 of 110 officers made a "no confidence" vote against Goodwin.
It wasn't immediately clear why the union made the decision, but more information is expected to come out at its next meeting next week.
The city school police department has about 140 officers.

As early as age 10, Dr. James Benner would accompany his mom to her work at a laboratory in a large hospital, where he was captivated to look at blood smears under the microscope. Meanwhile, his grandfather, a respected watch repairman, shared the secrets of his trade as well, which is perhaps even more poetic considering Dr. Benner's life work as a surgeon specializing in cardiac (heart), thoracic (lung) and vascular (blood vessel) repair work. "I love to operate. The precision and the attention to detail are what attract me and keep me going, as well as seeing the patients do so well. It's very rewarding," says Dr. Benner, chief of cardiac surgery for Trident Health. Dr. Benner also enjoys sharing his work with his six children, ages 7 to 23. They have grown up visiting his practice, Palmetto Cardiovascular and Thoracic Associates, where his wife also served as office manager for many years. Their oldest is in her second year of medical school.
Medical School: Temple University
Residency: Richland Memorial Hospital, University of South Carolina

Authorities have arrested a Florida man they said opened fire on a golf course and hit a city water tower.
Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies said 49-year-old Mark Fitzgerald told them he was searching for his lost dog Tuesday morning and had a high powered rifle and handgun with him in case he encountered coyotes.
Deputies said Fitzgerald fired several rounds from his golf cart hitting a water tower which holds about a million gallons of water. Water has apparently been draining from the bullet hole.
Fitzgerald also appeared intoxicated, according to officials.
The city is working to repair the damages to the tower.
Fitzgerald was charged with felony criminal mischief, discharging a firearm, and use of firearm while under the influence.

"I've always told him, 'I will know what you are doing,' " Scruggs tells PEOPLE with a laugh. "No one has ever been able to surprise me."
But Scruggs's beau was determined. Telling her he was heading to New York for work, the E! News host instead went to her Dallas hometown and proposed in front of her family and friends, using electronic candles to spell out the question "Will you marry me?" in the grass below her apartment balcony.
"I had gone out to dinner with my roommate Friday night," Scruggs explains. "When we got back home, I opened the door and the whole apartment was filled with hundreds of white tulips. There was music on. I was so confused, I had no idea what was happening."
What was happening would change both their lives.
"I walked onto the balcony and saw the candles," she says. "He said, 'I have a question to ask you, can you come down here?' "
'I Think You Should Meet Jason Kennedy'Scruggs, 25, a fashion blogger and author of the book Still Lolo, met Kennedy, 32, when Giuliana Rancic interviewed her for E! News after her amazing recovery from having walked into a spinning propeller on Dec. 3, 2011.
Not only did Rancic befriend and interview Scruggs, but she also did a little matchmaking.
"She was like, ' I think you should meet Jason Kennedy,' " says Scruggs. "I didn't know who he was. But she told me that he had this amazing Bible study in Los Angeles and had great friends. She texted Jason and asked if he was going to be on set. When I was asking Giuliana about places to go hiking, she told me, 'Just ask Jason places to go. He hikes all the time.' "
The two met, and when Kennedy gave Scruggs a written list of good hiking areas in Los Angeles, he included his number on the bottom of it, telling her to let him know if she decided to hike the next day and he might join.
The next day, the couple went hiking with her mom and a friend of Kennedy's and became friends.
"It was such a fun hike," Scruggs says. "We had the best conversation. It was funny, because Giuliana was saying, 'I feel like you two would be so good together.' And [after meeting him], I thought, 'I think you might be right.' "
Kept ConnectedThat fateful hike led to the two becoming friends and then dating. Last September, Kennedy told PEOPLE that he and Scruggs were keeping their long-distance relationship going strong. Meet-ups like their August vacation in Mexico last summer also kept the couple connected.
"He is an amazing guy," Scruggs says. "He is so humble and so loving towards everyone. He truly cares about people."
Though no definite wedding plans have been "nailed down yet," Scruggs says she is planning to move from Texas to California, and will be heading to Los Angeles in the next few weeks.
"He is one of the most thoughtful people I know," Scruggs says of her new fiancé. "His proposal was the most special night – from him thinking about my favorite flower to the people most important to me being there and his whole way of asking. I am so happy."

Super Bowl: Family parties, rivalry
I remember my family's Super Bowl parties.
I can still taste the delicious chicken wings my dad would make and I have fond memories of our family coming together to watch the game.
This Sunday - the 47th Super Bowl - sees the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans.
Whether we're watching the game for the Super Bowl commercials or rooting for our favorite team, it's a great opportunity for family to enjoy the game together.
Families are often divided in their loyalties to different teams; my family was the same. My cousin would root for one team and my uncle would support the other. Friendly rivalry, of course, although I do remember my team winning quite often!
This Sunday's Super Bowl is making history with its own sibling rivalry.
