LEWISTOWN - A Lewistown man charged in connection two separate rapes, pleaded no contest to lesser charges in both cases on the day one of the cases was to be heard by a jury.
Tuesday's jury trial for Michael L. Terry, 42, was all set to begin at 8:30 a.m., but over the course of the next several hours, defense attorney Michael Gingerich and Mifflin County District Attorney Dave Molek hashed out a plea agreement after consulting with President Judge Timothy S. Searer.
Under the agreement, Terry pleaded no contest to two counts of aggravated indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault and serve six to 12 years in a state correctional facility. Terry was charged with rape and other related offenses in both cases. Those charges were withdrawn.

Searer advised Terry of his rights to a trial, which was scheduled to start on Tuesday, however the defendant said he wanted to plead no contest to the above charges.
Searer also explained to Terry that although a no contest plea is not an admission of guilt, it is an acknowledgment that the prosecution could convict with the evidence they have.
After court proceedings came to an end, Gingerich said PLEA these were very tough cases, but the plea deal was fair.
Molek said a plea deal was offered to spare the victims from having to testify again, both of whom were present in the courtroom on Tuesday.
PREVIOUS?TESTIMONYThe two young women who were allegedly repeatedly raped by Terry testified in graphic detail during preliminary hearings in December 2011 at Magisterial District Judge Aaron Gingrich's office.
During the first hearing, the then 18-year-old alleged victim testified the sexual abuse by Terry began when she was between the ages of 10 and 11 years old and continued for several years.
The woman testified Terry told her he was having sex with her to "protect her."
She also testified that Terry trusted her not to tell anyone about the sexual contact.
"He said he loved me more than anything ... he said it would cause a lot of problems for him if I told anyone," she testified.
She further stated Terry would sometimes apologize for assaulting her and would cry about it as well.
The alleged victim told police Terry assaulted her over a period of five years starting when she was 11 years old and would give her whiskey and marijuana, police said.
She further testified that she has been diagnosed by three psychologists as having post-traumatic stress disorder, causing her to block out many of the details of the assaults.
Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Richard Leight testified a telephone conversation between Terry and the alleged victim was recorded. Leight then played the conversation for those at the hearing to listen to.
"Can you tell me why?" the alleged victim asked during the recorded conversation as she broke down emotionally.
"I need to get over this and feel better," she continued.
"Honey I hate to talk on the phone ... everything is fine, nobody did anything wrong," a voice alleged to be Terry's said.
As the recorded conversation continued, the demeanor of the voice alleged to be Terry's shifted in the other direction.
"Honey I was so wrong ... honey I'm so sorry ... everything was my fault," Terry allegedly said.
During the course of the second preliminary hearing, then Mifflin County District Attorney Steve Snook called a 24-year-old woman who claimed Terry assaulted her several times.
The alleged victim in this case testified she was first assaulted by Terry when she was 14 years old.
She testified she was scared of Terry and didn't tell him to stop but tried to squirm away during the first assault.
She further testified that Terry assaulted her approximately 8 to 10 times over the course of several years.
"He would tell me it was OK, it was alright, nobody needed to know. He always said he loved me," she testified.
"I was afraid of him," she said as she explained Terry's violent behavior at times.
She said that the last assault occurred at a hotel in Milroy.
"I felt scared but I felt like after a while, after being told it was OK, like maybe it was normal," she said.
Terry remains incarcerated in the Mifflin County Correctional Facility awaiting transfer to the State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill.

text: Dear Ann Landers: You asked your readers for their views on older women marrying younger men and vice versa. I was married for 28 years to a man my own age. He divorced me and married a woman who was younger than our children. Since then, I have dated men of all ages. The older men I went out with seemed to have no sense of humor and very little passion for life. Many wanted a nurse for their old age and treated me like a dumb blonde.

Varsity Male Athlete of the Week: Nick Dubowski, Cathedral Prep football
Nick Dubowski, Cathedral Prep
Nicholas Dubowski was among the seniors who contributed to Cathedral Prep's victory in the District 10 Class AAA championship game.
Dubowski was a factor on offense and defense for the Ramblers, who pulled away over the final three quarters of last Friday's 48-14 victory against General McLane at snowy Veterans Stadium.
The rout provided Prep (12-0) with its third district title in four seasons.
Dubowski, listed at 6 feet and 225 pounds, fulfilled his duties as a running back on offense and a linebacker on defense.
On offense, he carried the ball five times for 29 yards. Those attempts included his 1-yard run in the fourth quarter that accounted for the Ramblers' seventh and final touchdown.
Dubowski also caught a 4-yard pass from classmate quarterback Damion Terry. On defense, he intercepted the first pass attempt of McLane quarterback Quinn Thompson and returned it to the Lancers' 15-yard line.
Terry threw for a touchdown on the ensuing play from scrimmage, helping Prep take a 21-7 advantage into halftime.
Offensively, Dubowski has rushed 16 times for 130 yards and scored twice for the Ramblers. He's also caught eight passes for 58 yards and another score.
Dubowski has totaled 59 tackles on defense, with 20 of them listed as solo stops. He's also sacked opposing quarterbacks twice and caused a fumble along with his initial interception this season.
The Ramblers advanced to the PIAA AAA quarterfinals with their win over the Lancers. They'll try to stay alive in their bid for the program's second state title when WPIAL champion West Allegheny arrives at the Vet Friday at 7 p.m.

Three Milwaukee firefighters were taken to the hospital Sunday after being dragged by a car during a medical run.
Deputy Fire Chief Jack Christianson said the firefighters responded to a call for a possible overdose at Capitol Drive and Richards Street just after 1 p.m. He said when the crews arrived the patient was outside a car and appeared to be impaired and under the influence.
Christianson told 12 News that when firefighters approached, the man became agitated, got in the car and tried to drive away as firefighters clung to the car.
"They felt it was unsafe for him to get behind the wheel of that car, so they attempted to hold him up," Christianson said. "He broke loose, got into the car and he started the car. They tried pulling the keys out of the car, in the meantime, one of our firefighters jumped into the back seat to try and restrain him, and he managed to get the car in drive, and they ended up being dragged down the street a ways."
The three injured firefighters were not expected to return to duty Sunday night, but Christianson said they appeared to have only minor injuries. A Milwaukee police officer on the scene said the patient was stopped and taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

Rumors are flying that the famous lovebirds won't be tying the knot May 24 in France after all.
Instead, according to Entertainment Tonight, it'll start with a dinner there, then guests will be flown on private planes to an undisclosed location in Florence, Italy, for the actual ceremony.
Sources tell PEOPLE the Kardashian family will indeed arrive in Paris on Sunday. According to an invitation image circling earlier this week, guests are invited to a sunset hour dinner concluding at an undisclosed Parisian location.
And most of those lucky wedding attendees are being kept in the dark about the specific plans. "It's all very top secret," says a Kardashian insider. "No one knows exactly what's going on – just that whatever is happening, it's sure to be spectacular!"
The couple's rumored wedding venue, the spectacular 17th century-style château outside of Paris which Kim visited in April may not serve as the site of the couple's wedding venue. Still some sources insist the event will be a wholly French affair.
If their wedding does take place in Florence, there will be no shortage of breathtaking locations. The Italian city boasts stunning venues in small medieval towns along its outskirts, where some of Italy's most beautiful villas and estates can be found.

2013 Match DayMarch 15, 7:00am - 8:30am
Manoa Campus, 651 Ilalo Street Medical Education Building
It's Match Day 2013—where 4th-year medical students around the country simultaneously open envelopes to learn where in the USA a computer has "matched" them to begin their careers as MDs in training.
The MD Class of 2013, opening their envelopes in a ceremony starting at 7 a.m. at JABSOM, will receive their MD degrees in May. They've spent a lot of travel time this year (on their own dimes) interviewing at medical centers around the country to apply for their post-MD "Residency" training slots. Hawai`i also has residency slots (just not for ALL specialties---so some of our students will have to begin their careers on the US Mainland, while others stay here, and some US Mainland grads get "matched" here, too.)

To this end, we have created a 501(c)3, 501(c)4, and a Political Action Committee (PAC) to participate fully in every aspect of electing good Catholic Members of Congress and defeating those supporting policies contrary to the teachings of the Church. You can visit our website at http://www.catholicadvocate.com/ to learn more about how we have integrated each organization to work together.
Our goal this year is to build a strong foundation with the resources needed for effective participation in the 2012 public debate.
Along with Matt Smith, vice president, and Brenda Steele, director, I look forward to seeing you out on the course on June 13, 2011.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Lonza Group said today they would end their four-year-old joint venture to develop, manufacture, and market biosimilar drugs, four months after Lonza disclosed it was reviewing whether to continue the effort.
"Both companies will continue to explore opportunities to maximize the value of the investments and progress that the joint venture has made to this point," Teva said in a statement.
The companies hoped to bring numerous biosimilars to market and "secure a leading position in the emerging biosimilars market," they said in launching the joint venture in 2009. Teva and Lonza never announced financial terms but did say they wanted to build on Teva's expertise in clinical development and marketing of generic pharmaceuticals, as well as Lonza's global manufacturing capabilities.
But Teva and Lonza were hampered by the slow category-by-category development of standards in Europe, and the even slower review of a biosimilar approval framework in the U.S., where FDA has yet to approve any such drugs while it continues to review four draft guidances on the topic. In October, Teva and Lonza abruptly ended development of a biosimilar for Rituxan.
Lonza CEO Richard Ridinger, who has led a review of Lonza operations since taking office last year, said in a separate statement the end of the joint venture would save his company about CHF 150 million ($160.5 million).
The companies also said they will pursue separate paths going forward. In the statement, Michael Hayden, M.D., Ph.D., Teva's CSO and president, global R&D, said the end of the joint venture "supports our ability to maintain a highly selective approach in our efforts to create a balanced portfolio of biosimilars, biobetters, and innovative biologics that align with our overall portfolio and areas of disease focus, and by doing so better support our patients in these areas."
Stephan Kutzer, Ph.D., COO of Lonza Pharma & Biotech Market Segment, said his company will end efforts toward clinical developments and end product commercialization, and focus instead on what he called the company's core expertise in contract manufacturing and cell-line development: "In our assessment those investments in biosimilars will require more capital than initially planned and will also take more time until they reach the market."
The end of the joint venture was one of two cutbacks announced by Lonza today. The company also said it would phase out its Hopkinton, MA, plant, in order to concentrate and consolidate its Microbial Biologics operations in Visp, Switzerland, taking a CHF 69 million ($73.8 million) impairment charge as a result. The Hopkinton closing is part of a manufacturing restructuring that shut down a plant earlier this year in Swords, Ireland, and will shut down another plant in St. Beauzire, France, by year's end. The restructuring will result in the planned elimination of 250 jobs by the end of this year, as well as CHF 100 million ($107 million) in savings in 2016 when fully implemented.
The cutbacks were announced as Lonza disclosed an 11% drop in net income for the first half of 2013 compared with a year ago, to CHF 41 million (about $43.9 million) on sales that slumped 11% year-over-year, to CHF 1.744 billion ($1.866 billion).

Gymnastics champ Jordyn Wieber
After winning All-Around gold at the 2012 Visa Championships in St. Louis, Jordyn Wieber is all set to lead the U.S. women's gymnastics team at the London Games.
Richard: I am not sure we have made progress by trying to use cameras to determine intent of what happened. As in all videos they are made of thousands of separate frames taken a tiny fraction of time apart. Arm chair judging what a cop should or could do in a tenth of a second, may make good game show TV, but doesn't reflect the anxieties and realities of life. We all act and respond to different actions in different ways that is not always a self control behavior. Having someone scare you from behind, you may, jump, run, spin around, kick or simply faint and perhaps even die. Sometimes we are very edgy and the slightest thing can trigger an extreme reaction. At other times something happens right beside us, and we calmly just observe it, without the normal fear. I am sure, that most cops have never killed anyone, or even want to as many hope, that day never arrives. At the same time though we must be honest and acknowledge that the recent shootings of Police officers has made the situation now more dangerous for us as they are now on edge. In a split second decisions and actions are made based on what they think they see happening. Someone not doing as told and continuing to do something unknown to an officer is bound to make them extremely suspicious and uneasy, as if they make a mistake here, they may also be dead. If you have never been in a situation where you are the legal person with a gun, telling someone to halt or stop, and they refuse and are also armed, you might not have felt the hope they keep their hands away from their gun. The last thing anyone should want is to get into a wild west draw, no job pays enough to risk dying because they were a little faster. As a Marine on guard duty I halted officers all night long in the wind and the rain and we always went through the same routine of them putting Id on the ground, putting their hands on top of their heads turning around and taking 10 paces. Marine officers come in all temperaments, just like civilians. Most people know the law and the routine and follow it, perhaps they learned in school. Always though there will be ones who object, and you must point your gun and demand they cooperate or shoot them. I only came close to killing one, one time and am thrilled that I was able to not shoot him. Even legally I would not want to have that on my conscious. Life is not a video game, there is no restart.

I find inspiration all around me. You may not know, but my husband and I own and operate a small farm here in Northern Vermont.
There are so many things that I find I would love to incorporate and share in my quilting.
- There are geese flying overhead on a cool (cold) fall morning.
- Cows mooing in the pasture.
- Cats meowing and rubbing on my legs
- Flowers in bloom.
- Bright orange pumpkins.
- Juicy red berries.
- Buzzy Bees.
- A Yappy, jumpy beagle pup wanting a walk.
- Crisp red and green apples.
- Crunchy corn stalks.
- Roosters crowing and hens cackling.
- Red and Yellow and Orange and Brown leaves on the trees.
It just goes on and on. There is so much to see and hear and smell and feel. How do you put all that joy into cloth and thread? I am not sure, but I am going to try.
The hard part is deciding on ONE project to work on. I need about
10 100 of me to do it all.
I guess one finished project that I can share with everyone is better than 40 unfinished ones…
Happy Sewing

An editorial in the May 1 Tomahawk Leader:
We just don't get it!
What is the message?
What is the deterrent?
Three teens supplied alcohol at an underage drinking party that took place last year in the town of Bradley. Unfortunately, there's probably nothing unusual about that.
Another teen – a foreign exchange student attending Merrill High School – died at that party, however. That's a tragedy that cannot be undone. That's the ultimate warning we give our community's children when we tell them underage drinking is dangerous. That's the message emergency personnel try desperately to portray during the annual mock accidents they hold just before prom and graduation. That's a parent's worst nightmare.
Initially, the teens were tabbed with individual felony charges of procuring alcohol for a minor resulting in death. That meant the potential of 10 years in prison, a $25,000 fine, or both.
We don't know these young men and no one knows what potential they hold. Certainly a felony on their record would limit their futures. We're not advocating that they be saddled with a felony. Perhaps they do deserve a second chance.
But, the news of the probable plea agreement in this case has us shaking our heads in disbelief. District Attorney Don Dunphy is proposing that the prosecution be deferred a year. In the meantime, the teenagers must refrain from consuming alcohol or being on any premises with alcohol, do 100 hours of community service and identify the others who brought and provided alcohol at the party.
If they meet ALL the requirements of the plea bargain, their charges will be reduced to procuring alcohol for an underage person, which carries, get this, a $500 forfeiture!
Dunphy is quoted in the Wausau paper as saying it's his hope the conditions will act as a deterrent for their peers.
And what deterrent is that, exactly?
What is the lesson?
That breaking the law – that ultimately leads to the worse case scenario, death – can be paid for in less than two and a half weeks at a minimum wage job?
Perhaps, we concede, the foreign exchange student was most at fault for his own actions.
Perhaps, there will be repercussions for these young men when they tell who else provided the alcohol, from others friends to the adult(s) responsible for buying the booze. But one would think that should have happened already and not be part of a bribe-like bargain.
Perhaps a couple of weekends of community service look pretty threatening.
Perhaps avoiding alcohol will be real tough for them this coming year, despite the fact that it is already against the law.
Yes, the punishment is tough. But at least we can rest easier knowing these young men will have learned a lesson.
And, we can be certain the conditions they must meet will help deter future underage parties!

Successes from 2008 plan analyzed
March 10, 2013
SALEM — Successes realized from a 2008 plan created to provide direction for Salem's future may become part of an Ohio State University Extension case study and offered as a role model for planning......
Three disagrees. Really?? The constitution of the State of Ohio states that levied tax money can only be used for the purposes for which it is levied. One only has to look at the income tax levy that was passed by the voters of Salem to see what the income tax money can be spent on. The city can only spend that money for those purposes or they are spending that money illegally. I guess someone disagrees with the Constitution of the State of Ohio or they never bothered to read it.

Unfortunately, those questions seem to go unanswered. Accountability has to rein regardless of the idea. Council has an obligation to ASK THOSE QUESTIONS when investing our tax dollars. We can not continue to fund ideas of that consist of..."well it might work and might not". That isn't even legal. Accountability and Government waste is serious.

concerned, you said: "The only thing I question is: Do expenditures on these type projects, no matter how good they seem to be, actually fall within the prescribed usage of income tax fund as prescribed by law?"
You are not alone in that questioning. In fact, I believe it should be taken one step further. With the question as follows. How did that tax payer investment improve Salem and make an impact of change for all taxpayers, the whole entire city?
I see our tax dollars being used to prop up and benefit only certain individuals and business. Where is the investment return? Where is the result. I'm sorry to say this because it will upset certain members of council. How much money to date has been dumped into SOD and where is the investment return? Asking for money for an idea to host only another idea and another idea has been the pattern. What are we paying for? The idea? I just don't see the results that are making any impact of change at all.

Watchdog the money went to Ohio State University for putting the plan together. Like I said earlier I think the plan was well put together and was done with community input. My only point was,Questioner said it did not cost the taxpayers money and that is not true. The city did kick in money for the plan, they didn't pay it all but they did pay some. All money a government entity has, is we the people's money. The only thing I question is: Do expenditures on these type projects, no matter how good they seem to be, actually fall within the prescribed usage of income tax fund as prescribed by law? Just because sn expediture seems like a good idea don't make it a legal expenditure. At this point in history our government is taking on more and more expense and getting more and more involved in things that I don't think our founding fathers intended for the govt. to be involved in. We can not continue to fund with public money every good idea that comes down the pike.

Nope, I didn't know it cost us $5000. It still looks like we've gotten decent return on that money. Something has been done, things are continuing to be done. It beats 2,000,000. to someone that no one has done background on. Is it that hard to check where a person has worked before and what specifically they have done?

Non- Socialist you are probably correct in your assememnt about the legal matter of using a screen name on a post. I believe the News does have a disclaimer in the printed paper that says on letters to the editor they reserve the right to edit any libelous statements. You know the ones that people actually put their real names on what they have written. I think they may do that for a reason.

Ok, as probably the senior member of this roudy bunch, you've all made your points and let's play nice.

If we just work hard to keep it on subject, this is great first amendment fun.

Grant, Now I get it. It must be ok, in your mind at least, to call people names and make personal attacks if you put a name on your post. I may be wrong, but I think the original intent of the Salem News may have been to give people a forum to present either agreement or different ideas about articles, not a place for them to try to make a name for themselves. Like I said your name might as well be "The Liberator" Telling me your name is Grant Mingus don't mean a thing to me. But like I said, you do bring up some good points occasionally. The whole idea is to make people stop and think, which you have done several times. For that I thank you for your contributions who ever you are.

Salem News set it up, it is their site, apparently they wanted it to be set up this way. If they would have wanted people to use their real name they would have made that a stipulation. To be quite honest with you Mr. Mingus I don't have a clue who you are. It would make no difference to me it you name was Joe Blow. But you do have some valid points that need to be heard regardless of what your name is.

Concerned, if you're really concerned about the community then you should have no trouble standing up and leading. Anyone who has a name attached to anything gets destroyed by you anonymous commentators: Cahill, Nestic. How can I take someone anonymous that seriously when they could be telling us what to do about Salem from their couch in south Florida?

How can there be an open debate if no one is willing to say who they are? What exactly is open about that? Does "Watchdog" have the right to free speech or does the person behind the name have that right? You weed people out in a discussion quickly when there is no anonimity, you still have to "grow up".
You guys are only proving our point, in this discussion you can say anything you want. No one knows who you are. Our founders would roll in their graves if they knew people were discussing issues with completely anonymous names. Makes it easy for you to take shots at Mr. Nestic. I think you're the one that needs to grow up Watchdog.

Dave since you addressed me in you last post I will address it. I disagree. I do not believe it is important who it is that is expressing their ideas. Are one person's ideas more important than anothers? I don't think they are. Yes, there are people on here that just seems to want to attack and call names and put forth things that you can tell had absolutely no thought put into them. But you just have to take those with a grain of salt. As for myself I really can't remember ever commenting on anything or disagreed with anyone that I would not have had the guts to say to that persons face. Nor do I think putting a real name to comments would or should make them any more important. If we really are concerned about our community, it should be about ideas not about who says what or who does more for their community and who doesn't. Pats on the back are cheap but real life changing ideas are priceless.

Actually the comprehensive plan was one of the best things that has been done for the city in a long time. Teams were sent out to talk to various groups around town to get their input into the needs of the city. O and by the way no one asked their names when they were putting forth their ideas. Nor did anyone belittled them about their ideas. The whole project was about gathering thoughts not gathering names so we could pat them on the back when they said something everyone liked. Everyone's thoughts were important and taken note of. It is too bad we can't continue that attitude in our city. There is nothing wrong with stating you disagree with someone over an issue but when it turns to personal attacks, name calling and belittling those that are not in agreement with us, then we have stepped over the line. It is human nature to counter attack when you feel someone has attacked you, but it is really counter productive to engage in that kind of dialogue.

Concerned et. al. - I agree with civil debate and the thoughtful exchange of ideas. I am merely trying to make the point that behind a mask of anonymity, people will put forth information and comments without the filter of rationality and common decency. For example, there are things said here by some bloggers that they would never say to a dissenting bloggers face (me or anyone else). Under a veil of secrecy, the debate degrades. Lift the veil and the discussion is lifted.

WatchDog says; Small minds will see this as success, great minds will see this as grasping for straws in failure.
I take this article at face value, some folks tried to make a difference and got something done, modest as those accomplishments may have been. Since I am too small minded to see the problem, would you please explain from that great mind of yours, what exactly you would do to correct the problems Salem is currently experiencing. Though my mind is small if you go slowly I think I may understand!!!

Varsity Female Athlete of the Week: Lindsey Jahn, General McLane basketball
Lindsey Jahn, General McLane
The biggest challenge for Lindsey Jahn wasn't necessarily whom General McLane's girls basketball team faced in Sunday's Martin Luther King Showcase, but when.
The Lancers took on Glenville (Ohio) in the second of eight games that day at Gannon's Hammermill Center. That meant the teams had a scheduled tip-off time of 11:30 a.m.
"I'm definitely not a morning person," Jahn said, "but you do what you can with the situation. I just made sure I got up earlier. We stretched a little more (during warm-ups) before we got out there."
Jahn adapted well to the unusual starting time and was one of McLane's top performers by the final buzzer. The 5-foot 9-inch senior contributed 13 points and seven rebounds in the Lancers' 59-42 win.
That Showcase victory left McLane with an overall record of 12-1 for coach Sarah Jay.
"I definitely think we're closer as a team this year," Jahn said about the team's second-year coach. "We're more familiar with her style and what she's all about. The communication with her has been a lot easier."
Sophomore Michelle Jahn was McLane's top scorer against Glenville. Lindsey Jahn has relished every practice and game she's had with her younger sister over their past two seasons.
"I love being able to end my career playing with her and being this successful," Lindsey Jahn said.

And in this corner, weighing a lot more than 200 pounds and wearing black trunks, is the winner and still champion, Harvey Weinstein, heavyweight legend of Oscar mojo.
Once again, he did that voodoo that he does so well all over the competition. His film "Silver Linings Playbook" scored big in all major categories at the Oscar nominations announced Thursday, including – get this now – even Robert De Niro and, yes, Jackie Weaver for Supporting Actor and Actress.
Well, OK, you say. The movie is certainly entertaining and competent enough, with an ending stolen from "Dancing With the Stars" (just as the ending of "Slumdog Millionaire" stole its drama from the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?").
But in a field that also included "Zero Dark Thirty," "Argo" and "The Master," it was more than a bit of a travesty that "Playbook's" director David O. Russell made the cutoff for final five in the Best Director category while the directors of those other films were nowhere to be found – not even Ben Affleck, whose "Argo" was the feel-good champ of 2012 (nor, on the side of the angels, was there any Oscar nomination for Tom Hooper, director of the failed Oscar-baiting "Les Misérables").
Robert De Niro is always Robert De Niro. He's awardable any time he steps in front of a camera. But that's about all he did in "Playbook." The way I see it, there was no way he deserved a Supporting Actor nomination for "Playbook," and John Goodman didn't for either of his hilarious and brilliant 2012 turns in "Flight" and "Argo."
That, I submit, may be an eternal illustration of serious Oscar nomination mojo from a mogul desirous of all the golden box office attention Oscars and their attention can bring.
I don't think Harvey Weinstein stands a chance of prevailing on Oscar night Feb. 24, but who knows how he'll do on Sunday, when the first Oscar night warm-up – the Golden Globes – gives a decent glimpse of just where major showbiz community sentiment is flowing this year.
The next installment – the Screen Actors Guild Awards – will be seen Jan. 27 on the TNT and TBS cable networks – still almost a month before the Oscars.
Has anyone in history, ever psyched out the Oscar – indeed, the entire award season – the way Harvey Weinstein has? He's so dandy with the Oscar warm-ups that "Django Unchained," by Harvey's boy Quentin Tarantino (in interviews, Tarantino sometimes affectionately refers to Weinstein as "my Pop"), is a contender for Best Picture Golden Globe, even though Oscar wouldn't touch it in the Best Picture with a 10-foot bullwhip. "Django" did receive Oscar nomination nods for Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor, cinematographer Robert Richardson, and Tarantino himself for original screenplay. We're talking major league Oscar nomination juice here.
These Oscar nominations are a grossly sentimentalized bunch compared with what was possible.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" is an aged Oscar voter's idea of an independent movie – enormously sentimental, jam-packed with colorful folk acting colorfully and topped off by the cherry of a pith and vinegar performance by an utterly adorable 9-year-old, Quvenzhané Wallis. She is now in the record books as the youngest person ever nominated for an Oscar (Best Actress).
Bradley Cooper, nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for "Playbook" over Richard Gere in "Arbitrage" and, especially, John Hawkes as the quadriplegic seeking to end his virginity in "The Sessions"?
There is some diabolical voodoo by Harvey Weinstein.
Then again, one never knows.
The fix is in for the 2012 Oscar nominations. Whether that fix benefits Weinstein's "Silver Linings Playbook" or Steven Spielberg's nomination-champ "Lincoln" (with 12) is anybody's guess.
What it does do is take out of Best Picture competition almost entirely one of its nominees, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," the New York Film Critics' selection for Best Movie of the Year and many people's selection as 2012's most important film by far, if not necessarily its most enjoyable (a title I'd gladly hand over to Ang Li's masterpiece of magic realism, "The Life of Pi").
It is virtually impossible to win an Oscar for Best Picture if your director wasn't even nominated.
All the controversy about "Zero Dark Thirty" – especially all those liberal politicians (and Weinstein friends) in Washington expressing dismay over its strenuously objective portrayals of Bush-era torture – clearly had a deleterious effect on the film's Oscar nominations, which aren't nearly as plentiful as they should have been, by many lights, including mine.
I'd submit that these award nominations may have been politicized in the worst way, as if those in nominating position took a look at Bigelow's second film about war and the desert battles of our time and had the horrifying thought "OMG, what if she isn't in our political corner at all?"
The idea that she could make her previous Oscar-winner "The Hurt Locker" and also "Zero Dark Thirty" and only be committed to rendering military experience seems to current Hollywood too unstable an idea to tinker with – a bottle full of nitro just waiting to explode in everyone's face.
Look at this slate of Oscar nominees. It's as fearful and unimaginative as it was in the bad old days of Hollywood when just about the last thing the community wanted to do at award time was to give anyone credit for being creative and truly different.
There are, God help us, all manner of nominations where Sunday's Golden Globes are better – at the very least far more diverse and, because of the Globes' splitting things into comedy on one hand and drama on the other, more representative of the movies that actually came out in 2012. Though, even there, poor John Goodman had to take an off-camera back seat to the Supporting Actor regulars – Alan Arkin, Christoph Waltz and Philip Seymour Hoffman, showing up in both Oscar and Golden Globe lists. Take a look at what Goodman does in "Flight," for instance, and tell me it's not one of the most entertaining things any actor did in a movie anywhere in 2012.
We are, it seems to me, being set up for a "Lincoln"-fest in awards season.
Welcome to 1956.

LOCKPORT – An Iraq War veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder pleaded guilty Friday to first-degree reckless endangerment in connection with a wrestling match with a friend over a loaded handgun.
Alexander T. Carncross, 24, of Shenk Road, Sanborn, told Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas that he began PTSD treatment the day after the July 2 incident in his former home on Porter Road in the Town of Niagara.
Assistant District Attorney Theresa L. Prezioso said a friend took the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson away from Carncross, who was intoxicated and struggled with the other man to try to get it back.
Carncross said he's feeling better since starting treatment. Farkas said that when Carncross returns to court Feb. 7, she will probably assign him to veterans' court in Buffalo. If he succeeds in the treatment program there, she will likely reduce his charge to a misdemeanor with a sentence of probation. The maximum penalty for the charge is seven years in prison.

The Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board requires institutions of higher education to be NCATE accredited in order for a program to lead to an educator rank change or new/additional certificate. Lesley encourages you to seek an alternative program that would best meet your needs and satisfy requirements for your teaching license. For more information, visit the Education Professional Standards Board.
TEACHER CERTIFICATION FOR EDUCATORS in KENTUCKYAre you a current educator in Kentucky and interested in learning more about the process to add a level or an additional field to your teaching license? If so, read more to help guide you through the process.
Visit epsb.ky.gov of a full list of Kentucky Teaching Certificates, Grade Levels, Specializations, and Endorsements
Rank ChangeAny rank change granted from an out-of-state online program must meet the following standards:
New or Additional CertificationKentucky educators should be particularly careful if attempting to obtain either initial Kentucky teaching or administrative certification or additions/endorsements to an existing Kentucky certificate via an out-of-state online program. EPSB regulations require that any program for initial certifications or endorsement of any kind must be approved for the particular certification in the state of origin. This is important because it means that the Kentucky educator is, in fact, obtaining the certification in another state, then transferring the certification to Kentucky.
With this caveat in mind, any new or additional certification programs must meet the following standards:
As Kentucky educators consider out-of-state online programs, they should consider that none of these programs will address the content specific to the unique components found in the state's education system. The lack of this content will likely hold the educator at a disadvantage when he/she faces the programs and assessments that are unique to Kentucky, e.g., the Kentucky Teacher/Principal Internship Program, the Kentucky Specialty Test of Instructional and Administrative Practices, or the Kentucky Interdisciplinary Early Education Childhood Test.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Gerard Butler
- 1990s
Gerard Ditches Law
After graduating from Glasgow University, Butler works as a lawyer at a Edinburgh firm, where he's fired for being late and coming to work hung-over. Of his firing, Butler tells USA Today, "It was the worst day of my life, yet it was the best thing that ever happened to me." With a new passion for acting, the Scot moves to London, where he lands the lead in the 1996 stage adaptation of Trainspotting, followed by small roles in Mrs. Brown and the James Bond flick Tomorrow Never Dies.
- 2000
Playing Dracula
Butler lands his first lead film role in Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000. Although the flick is a huge flop, director Joel Schumacher is impressed by Butler's leading turn as the Count–and will later cast him in the legendary film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, The Phantom of the Opera.
- 2003
Lara Croft's Leading Man
Butler costars with Angelina Jolie in the Tomb Raider sequel, The Cradle of Life. Although director Jan de Bont says, "You'll feel a sexual tension; there is a chemistry" between Jolie's Croft and Butler's Terry Sheridan (Croft's sidekick ex), the film fails to deliver at the box office, taking in only $21.8 million over opening weekend.
- 2005
Unmasking the Phantom
Butler plays the title role of Erik in the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, with Emmy Rossum (left). The beloved movie-musical grosses more than $50 million in the U.S. "He has a magnificent physique and a rich, gravelly, rock and roll voice that adds a lot of sexuality to the Phantom," director Joel Schumacher tells PEOPLE.
- 2007
'This is Sparta!'
Butler makes his star-making, muscle-baring turn as the Spartan King Leonidas in 300, the film adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel. "Gerry carries the movie," director Zack Snyder tells Newsweek. "There was a concern that if we had an actor who people did not know, they wouldn't know who to follow in this tale. But Gerry has such powerful charisma and presence, you just want to be led into battle." The film debuts with ticket sales of $70 million over its opening weekend.
Lighter Fare
To follow up his bloody role, Butler appears in the film adaptation of chick-lit best-seller P.S. I Love You with Hilary Swank and plays Abigail Breslin's father in the 2008 children's fantasy movie Nim's Island with Jodie Foster. "Jodie is a heroine of mine," Butler tells Redbook, "and the funny thing is, the second I'd mention Abigail's name to people, their faces lit up as much as they did when I said I was working with Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider."
- 2008
Man About Starlets
Butler is romantically linked to Dancing with the Stars champ Cheryl Burke, though Burke claims the two are just friends and neighbors. "He actually lives in my apartment building, and we've been friends for a few months," she clarifies. Butler is then spotted around L.A. cuddling and partying with actress Cameron Diaz.
- 2009
Gerry Gets Ugly
Butler returns to movie romance in The Ugly Truth as a chauvinistic TV personality who gives his uptight coworker (played by Katherine Heigl) lessons in love. "Women pinch my butt," he jokes of his life as a newly-minted sex symbol. "It's kind of amazing." He then stars with Jamie Foxx in the action hit Law Abiding Citizen, which opens at No. 2, making $21.3 million.
- 2012
In Treatment
Butler, 42, checks himself into the Betty Ford Center to seek treatment for substance abuse issues. The actor, who realized he was becoming dependent on prescription drugs after being injured in a surfing accident in December, completes his treatment three weeks later.
- 2013
Packing a Punch
In addition to staring as a former U.S. Army Ranger in Olympus Has Fallen, Butler serves as producer for the film. "It's a fascinating process which you're always learning," he says. "My advice is to produce something that is meaningful to you and that you care about, because when you have that it's far more easy for you to dive into." The film earns nearly $100 million, and plans for a sequel are announced.

Merle J. Peterson
Aug. 13, 1927-Jan. 29, 2013
Age: 85
Residence: Broken Bow, Neb.
Merle J. Peterson, 85, formerly of Taylor, Neb., entered into his Savior's presence Jan. 29, 2013, at the Callaway hospital. Merle was born Aug. 13, 1927, to Julius and Koneta Duddy Peterson in Cheyenne County, Colo. He grew up on the ranch with sister, Glaida and brothers, Allen and Norman.
Merle attended first through eighth grade at Mount Pearl, graduating from Kit Carson High School in 1945. He worked for the Collins Ranch.
In 1950, Merle was drafted by the Army. As Sergeant First Class, he endured icy combat conditions. Too long in freezing foxholes led to artificial hips that would distinctively define his gait as his own.
The front line that he was commanding left their trench to attend Sunday service. While they were at the service, their trench was heavily fired upon. A private had left his Bible in the foxhole and when they returned, the Bible was lying open and unharmed, while everything else was destroyed.
Merle wed Imogene Chronsiter on Sept. 19, 1954. They ranched and farmed, and a daughter and son were born. Merle served as a Colorado State Brand Inspector, retiring the late '70s.
On June 17, 1970, Merle wed Ruth Jordan in Brookings, S.D., and to this union, two sons and a daughter were born. The family lived in Wray, running a restaurant and ranching. In 1985, the family set roots in Taylor, Neb., where Merle worked at local feedlots, sale barns, and ranches.
He took pride in being able to keep 100 head of cows until 2002, when he permanently downsized. He also served as the Veterans Service Officer and the Weed Superintendent for Loup County until the mid 1990s. Merle and Ruth moved to Broken Bow's Off Broadway Assisted Living in the fall of 2010.
He was his children's biggest encourager, whether it was school, mechanics or starting a colt. He always had a story to tell and a smile to give.
He is survived by daughter, Lana (Terry) Brown; son, Laning, both of Eads, Colo.; Jay (Peggy) Peterson of Stapleton, Neb.; grandsons, Wyatt and Bailey Stapleman of Fairfield, Neb. and Rate Peterson of Stapleton, Neb.; sister, Glaida Craven, Kit Carson, Colo.; brother, Norman Peterson and wife, Margaret, Eaton, Colo.; sister-in-law, Carole Jordan, Ivanhoe, Minn.; and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Ruth; son, Lynn; daughter, Amy Peterson Stapleman; brother, Allen and wife, Bonita; and brothers-in-law, Red Craven and Raymond Jordan.
Linda Christine Williams
Sept. 9, 1950–Feb. 1, 2013
Age: 62
Residence: Greeley
Linda Christine Williams, born an earthly angel on Sept. 9, 1950, became a heavenly angel on Feb. 1, 2013.
She was born in Laramie, Wyo., to Faye Lavon Pollock and Edward Brooks Pollock. She worked as a paralegal for Agland, then managed her mother's cosmetology school, Highland Hills Beauty Academy. In her later years, she worked at Life Care Center in Greeley, where she loved visiting with the residents and their families. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, daughter, family, and friends. She also enjoyed walking her dogs, swimming, reading her Bible, scrapbooking, baking, playing pinochle, taking cruises, vacationing, and camping with the grandkids.
She is loved and will be dearly missed by those surviving her, mother, Faye Lundvall; stepfather,Elmer Lundvall; brother, Steve Lundvall and his wife, Ingrid Lundvall; sister, Lorrie Wood; daughter, Christine Lucas and her husband, Jason Lucas; and the little grandchildren that were the light of her life, Taylor, Connor, Kylie and Brennen Lucas.
She is rejoicing in heaven with those who went before her, father, Edward Brooks Pollock; grandmother, Mary Viola Busby; and aunt, Dorothy Rambo.
She was a blessing to all who knew her and touched many lives with her grace and love.
A service to celebrate her life and memory will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 8, 2013, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 3000 35th Ave., in Greeley. Memorial contributions may be made her Linda's memory to a charity of the donor's choice. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.adamsonchapels.com.

Thursday, July 25, 2013
In a lengthy meeting Monday, Dorchester District Two heard a number of reports including facilities, financial, construction, safety and oversight.
The monthly facilities report noted that
Windsor Hill lighting upgrades were complete and the fire alarm renovation at Beech Hill is complete and the state Office of Fire Safety has completed its inspections.On target are summer painting, the renovation of three special needs classrooms, pressure washing of sidewalks, grinding of sidewalk imperfections to reduce trip hazards, the modernizing of 10 water coolers, flooring replacements, asphalt repairs, sidewalk additions and trailer relocates.Phase II of the Fort Dorchester High School fire sprinkler project has fallen behind but the contractor is working seven days a week and has added more crew so it should be finished well before school begins.Various entrance security upgrades throughout district are proceeding with architects in various stages of design.The safety committee report included:
Safety and security walk-throughs with 10 locations identified as priority camera coverage areas; 92 of 100 electronic doors have been installed and will be operational as of the first day of school and lighting issues at most locations have been addressed with the addition of LED lighting.Meetings are ongoing with the Sheriff and County Administrator to discuss increased costs being charged for School Resource Officers which makes hiring additional SROs for the elementary schools cost prohibitive. The possibility of hiring retired police officers as in-house security is being investigated.Architects are currently working on front entrance designs to protect students and staff including bullet resistant glass.The construction committee report included:
Site survey and geotech for Elementary School #1 at Pine Trace are in progress. The SCDOT completed a site visit and its concerns have been addressed with alternative plans.Elementary School #2, at The Ponds, is also progressing with its site survey and geotech and has had its SCDOT site visit.Elementary School #3, adjacent to Alston Middle School, will not have access to previously identified property on Parsons Road but is, instead, looking at the adjacent property where the facilities building is currently located. This adjustment would require a change in design. It, too, has had a SCDOT site visit.Rollings Middle School of the Arts has had an SCDOT site visit and is expecting the report shortly at which point both proposed sites – East Edisto and Coastal Center – will be reviewed to determine the most cost effective site for the new school.The oversight committee noted:
It wants to get everyone together and discuss smart growth … how the new schools will change the face of the district especially in regard to traffic patterns. It wants to get the county and the community involved.It has created a Facebook page – DD2 Citizen Oversight Committee – where it will post updates.It will have a written report ready to go out to every parent with the annual student packets in August.It praised Capital Improvements Facilitator Robert Folkman for having already "saved the district millions."
