NEW PORT RICHEY — Many around Pasco County likely were surprised when unbeaten Gulf lost to winless Sunlake last Friday.
But not Gulf coach Jay Fulmer. The truth is, he kind of saw it coming.
"It was just a matter of time," Fulmer said.
Perhaps he's right. Since last season, when the Buccaneers went 10-2, few area teams have lost as much talent.
In June, heralded tailback Adrian Golden, who set Pasco County's single-season rushing record (2,514 yards) in 2008, transferred to Tarpon Springs. Thus far, Golden has rushed for 570 yards and is averaging more than 10 yards per carry for the Spongers.
In August, about 20 former members of the program (varsity and junior varsity) enrolled at newly opened Anclote. At least a few of them, including tailback Brandon Harvey, likely would have been starters for Gulf.
In a Week 2 win over River Ridge, Gulf senior Leon Orr, a Florida Gators commit who stars at tight end and on the defensive line, fractured his leg while attempting to catch a pass and hasn't played since. Rivals.com ranks Orr as the country's 95th-best prospect.
All of this has left Gulf, which plays at Land O'Lakes (3-0) tonight, with only 24 varsity players.
"And one of them is the kicker," Fulmer joked.
Taking the above into account, instead of asking how Gulf could lose to Sunlake, the better question might be: How were the Bucs 3-0, with a win over what is turning out to be a very solid Hudson squad in their opener?
"We were overachieving," Fulmer said. "Especially to beat Hudson, which is beating everybody by 40."
Without question, Orr's loss has been the most significant.
"There's no way there could be a better lineman (in the country)," Fulmer said. "I don't see how it's possible. When he goes all out, nobody can block him."
So where does Gulf go from here?
After Land O'Lakes, the Bucs, who are 0-1 in Class 3A, District 7 thanks to Sunlake, face district foes Pasco (2-1) and Mitchell (4-0) in consecutive weeks.
"We're not even thinking about the playoffs," Fulmer said.
Instead, Fulmer has given his squad some advice:
Have fun, play hard and enjoy being with your teammates.
"That's takes a lot of the pressure off," said senior quarterback Madison Burr, who has accounted for eight touchdowns.
No question about it, last week's setback has put Gulf in an unsavory spot. But despite that the Bucs have no intention of packing it in.
"We've come together this week," senior linebacker Darryl Cooper said. "We can't afford another loss."
On the field — or on the roster.

Judge orders attorneys in David Camm trial to work over weekend
LEBANON, Ind.
The David Camm trial in Boone County is taking a break until Tuesday morning, but attorneys must still work over the weekend.
The judge asked them to write down their concerns about a key issue in the case, whether life insurance can be presented as a motive for the murders.
The defense also questioned a DNA expert who examined possible blood stains on a T-shirt, which is a key piece of evidence in the case.
The Camm trial was moved to Boone County due to extensive publicity in southern Indiana, where Camm is accused of killing his wife and children.
The murders happened a few months after he left his job with Indiana State Police.

I have a widget on a Sitefinity 8.0 page that redirects to a login protected page when a child button is clicked.
Most of the time after authenticating, the OAuthLogin widget redirects to whatever is specified in the RedirectUrl URL parameter. However, once in a while, the OAuthLogin widget does not redirect and instead does a postback (looks like a refresh).
What I discovered is that this redirect error never happens for Sitefinity users in the Administrator role. My co-worker would have this error happen for him on multiple
machines including mine, but my admin account would never experience
I'd like to add that the login functionality works because the
Sitefinity user is successfully logged in. In fact, after the
postback/failed redirect, when the authenticated user clicks logout, the
browser then redirects to the specified RedirectUrl that it was supposed to go to.
The OAuthLogin widget is not a custom widget so I do not
have code for that, but maybe someone with more Sitefinity experience
can explain what is happening. I have looked at the console for any
errors but cannot find any because of the postback that occurs upon
clicking the login button. Has anybody experienced this with Sitefinity
and is there something I am not understanding about the OAuthLogin widget or how Roles are applied to page permissions in Sitefinity?
We have not had any issues setting up the STS login or installing the OauthExternalAuthentication module. The authentication works just fine. Also, we are not using an external provider yet; just logging in using Sitefinity credentials.
Like I stated, occasionally.. a non-Admin/non-Backend user tries to access a login-protected page. After logging in successfully, the page simply refreshes instead of redirecting to the RedirectURL in the URL parameters.
The RedirectURL is correct and like I have already stated, the User is authenticated. Again, this only happens when a non-Admin account is trying to do this. Also, I have made sure that my page permissions are correct and that the Role that this non-Admin account is under is permitted to access this page. I even set newly registered users under that custom Role upon registration, but nothing has changed.
We no longer have access to updates. Could you please provide more information on the issue so we can build our own control to fix the issue.
Thank you.
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

If you're not alarmed and disturbed by the treatment of reporters in Ferguson, Missouri, in the last week or so, you should be.
When did Missouri turn into North Korea, and who made Capt. Ron Johnson head of the local police state?
When police are arresting and cuffing reporters with ongoing impunity, we've got a serious problem. There's a reason that protection of the press is the very first amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That's how important the media's role is. The amendment states that "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press "
Putting reporters in handcuffs and jail certainly limits free speech and the press.
Those rights are what separate the U.S. from, say, China or Syria. It's what thwarts corruption and tyranny. It's what stops government from overstepping its boundaries. It's what prevents a police state. Whenever someone wants to seize power and your freedom, the first thing they do is control the media so they can spin their own "truth."
The response of local police after the shooting of an unarmed black man in Ferguson a couple of weeks ago was almost as disturbing as the shooting itself. Not only did police show up in military gear, armed as if they were taking on the Taliban — which exacerbated the situation — but in the process they targeted reporters, apparently to control what those reporters saw and reported.
According to the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, the following reporters were detained while covering the protests over the course of several days:
Colter Loeb of the Cincinnati Herald was arrested. Ryan Devereaux of The Intercept was handcuffed and taken to jail, along with a German reporter.
German journalists Frank Hermann, Ansgar Graw and Lukas Hermsmeier were handcuffed and jailed. "The street was empty at the time, there was no hint of violence or riotous assembly," Graw wrote in Die Welt. According to The Local, they were denied water and a phone call.
Scott Olson of Getty Images was led away in handcuffs. "I want to be able to do my job as a member of the media and not be arrested for just doing my job," Olson said. Kerry Picket of Breibart News reported she was handcuffed with her hands behind her back and told to get on her knees.
Police arrested Ryan Reilly of the Huffington Post and Wesley Lowery of the Washington Post in a McDonald's and detained them for 45 minutes without charging them with a crime. Others arrested were Neil Munshi of the Financial Times, Rob Crilly of the Telegraph and Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated. Don Lemon of CNN was shoved by police. Mustafa Hussein of Argus Radio was warned by police to turn off his camera light or he would be "shelled."
Does this sound like the USA? All of these reporters were prevented from reporting and monitoring the actions of police (and, by extension, government), which is precisely their job and precisely what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment.
According to the Washington Post, the arrests were ordered by Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson. Apparently, Johnson has created his own country, suspended the Constitution and is free to do as he pleases. The arrest and harassment of reporters went on for days undeterred. If some small-time police captain can suspend the First Amendment for days, thinking he'll simply do what he wants and, at worst, ask forgiveness later when it suits him and after the police have been free to act as they please, then what good is the First Amendment? That's what will continue to happen if Johnson can do this with impunity and is never ordered to back off.
Johnson's explanation was disingenuous. He said police couldn't tell who was media and who was not in all the chaos. The reporters identified themselves and were carrying notebooks and cameras and were still arrested. Then he said the police were actually providing protection for journalists, which was equally absurd (watch the YouTube videos; the police were bullies out to remove the media as witnesses to their handling of the protests). If that were true, then why the handcuffs and jail and rough treatment? Why not move them to safety and leave them alone? The reporters were no threat to police or anyone else, and it's their job to place themselves where they can witness the behavior of government officials.
These are perilous times for the press and free speech. The Obama administration has been widely criticized for its restrictions of the press, specifically for blackballing reporters, circumventing the Freedom of Information Act and illegally obtaining the phone records of Associated Press reporters, all of which impedes the press' ability to collect news and report on government.
Combine all of that with the events in Ferguson, and America is headed down a slippery slope.

PORT RICHEY — In the past year, this city of 3,200 kept its reputation as a political war zone plagued with controversy.
By the end of the year, the City Council ousted its city manager after one year of service, fired and rehired a veteran officer and even came up with a new slogan: "The Little City by the River" is now "Pasco's Gateway to the Gulf."
The city's most notable events of the year began in April, when political newcomers Phil Abts and Perry Bean won seats on City Council, replacing incumbents Nancy Britton and Dale Massad. Steven O'Neill won a second term, joining Mayor Richard Rober and Vice Mayor Mark Hashim behind the dais.
A few weeks after the election, the new council ousted City Attorney James Mathieu because of his personal ties with live-in girlfriend Britton and Massad, whom he owns an investment property with.
In September, veteran patrolman and former police Chief Bill Sager was fired after being accused of sending a gag letter to city employees. An investigation, which began two weeks after his firing, cleared Sager of wrongdoing, and he was rehired.
A divided council in December then booted City Manager Richard Reade, saying he had made progress during his one-year tenure but had been mistreated by city residents who had unfairly criticized him. Some residents complained about Reade's management style.
The city also stirred controversy in November, when Vice Mayor Mark Hashim proposed a $7.50-per-person fee to board the casino and sightseeing boats. Boat owners said they would be forced to go out of business if they asked customers to pay the fee, which Hashim said would be used for waterfront redevelopment and city amenities.
The council is expected to vote on the proposal in January.
The city also launched its red light ticket program in the three northbound lanes of U.S. 19 at Ridge Road. Since the program began in May, the city has raked in thousands of dollars in revenue.
But in August, American Traffic Solutions, the Arizona-based company that installed the camera, backed out of its contract, saying it ran into problems with the state Department of Transportation over installing additional cameras.
At year's end, the city was still in search of a company to replace ATS, which agreed to stay on board until a new company is hired.
As of December, the program brought in $109,565 in revenue, yet the city still found itself in a state of financial emergency in September.
City officials said the culprit was a major hit the city took in its utility fund after discovering last year that it was losing millions of gallons of water. The result was a net deficit of $147,115 at the end of fiscal year 2007.
At year's end, the city was working with officials in Tallahassee to fix the fiscal problem.

Former Irish rugby international Trevor Ringland believes the demands put on GAA players today is pushing the association towards a semi-professional status.
The former Ulster winger, whose playing career concluded before the sport turned professional, says deals like Dublin's new partnership with a Japanese car manufacturer has altered the GAA to above amateur.
"I think at that stage they're semi-professional, in reality," Ringland is quoted saying in today's Irish News. "The other dynamic in play is the other sports. Rugby and soccer are professional, so there's that pressure within the GAA to hold on to its top athletes. That comes into the equation.
"When you're giving somebody car and enhanced expenses and other support, you're moving into a semi-professional structure.
"When I was playing rugby, if there were 10 people in rugby on the whole island getting paid, that was about the height of it. Now if you look at the hundreds of people who are employees.
"On one level it's great that they (the GAA) are generating that income. But it does have a detrimental effect on clubs, and you need to make sure you're continuing to invest in your game, and not just so that you maintain a professional structure.
"It's developing it well so that people enjoy the sport, bearing in mind the ethos of the sport."

You can now see online the SBS Insight TV programme on faith schools
I did my best to clarify that I was not attacking all religious schools, merely questioning the kind of teaching that goes on in some. Not sure if that came across sufficiently clearly.
If you see the programme, let me know what you think...
Shows 27th, 7.30pm Sydney time.
You can see it now here: http://news.sbs.com.au/insight//in_good_faith_547814
My first reaction is - Christ I look ill (I've got a bug). Plus my hair's still wet from the rain! Vanity.
24 comments:
You should be able to watch it on the SBS website after it goes to air.

I was in the audience for the show. Just because young earth creationism is taught, does not mean it is believed by all students and teachers. Within the religious schools even individual teachers will have differing opinions on the age of the earth.
Also, just because the school has a foundational belief on these issues does not mean students will take them on. Teenagers tend to rebel against the ideas of teachers rather than follow them- especially when it comes to religion.
- May 27, 2008 at 10:37 AM
It's a pity there wasn't a deeper examination of exactly what is being taught in these schools.
As you said during your first cross, the presentation of YEC, OEC and ID as substantial and acceptable alternative theories has no place in a science class - if that's the sanitised, media-friendly version then who knows what is actually taught.
Congratulations on pointing out that Theists dont own "morality". Schools should strive to turn out "good people", not good Christians (for example). Decency and moralith are not the exclusive preserve of those of Faith.
I can't imagine why you aren't fully booked with speaking engagements at faith-based schools....Matt D

The program has just finished. My thoughts on the show
1. I think the cross section of the audience was too narrow and did not provide enough support for the independent critical analysis views. The Greens MP and Stephen were the lone articulate presenters of an opposing view.
2. The facilitator underestimated the cohesion of this group who were there ready to defend their existence. THis forced them on common ground and did not allow sufficient dissent on some of the critical issues. I found the experience too anemic.
3. The beginning clip supports the argument for independent teaching of science separate from faith theories. The teacher made two very concerning comments at the end of the clip. a) That their purpose is to get the children to ask the "right" questions. What are the 'right' questions and b) The teacher also summarised his class by saying (paraphrasing), We will present these views through what god has reveled through man and on the other hand through what god has revealed through the scriptures on the other hand. Perhaps I misunderstood but it appears to me that he was suggesting that all of the questions asked, and the answers provided, will be provided through the paradigm of the Christian faith. That is the fundamental problem with these schools. They are not able to teach the 'disinterested objectivity' required in modern citizens because many of the answers and indeed the man of the questions required to be asked exist outside the framework of their espoused doctrines.
4. As a father of 5 young children, I am concerned when my children come home from their RE class stating the bible stories are being taught as fact. In our home, we read from a full body of literature including Greek mythology, fables from the original texts (not the disney version) and Shakespeare. On my international travels with work I often bring home examples of various cultures that represent their beliefs. When my 5 year old boy, asked if god was real, my answer is simple "The people believe their god is as real as did the greeks, as do the Indians and the many other religions that have inhabited the earth throughout time. They are belief systems supported by stories that we can engage in but it is not a science. My older children have chosen not to go to RE once they reach about the age of six. I read your book Stephen and it has helped with my confidence to articulate why my views of secular teaching at home with the premise of "how to think, not what to think" being the cornerstone.
- May 27, 2008 at 11:02 AM
thank you
really that was brilliant - your closing comment was dynamite and to disagree with its sentiments would be to advocate denying information from children
now to get a copy of the war for chirldrens' minds!

Thankyou so much! If it weren't for you I might have pulled my hair out. I am a philosophy student at university here in Australia. I am thinking of pursuing my studies in philosophy further. I would be more than happy to be one of those people who are asked to come into schools to talk to kids about atheism (and how we're not evil and morally corrupt and don't think that life has no meaning etc etc etc).
- May 27, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I agree with Dan from Oz. There definitely weren't enough people representing a more secular view, although this could be another show. Religion and education is a highly publicised issue at the moment with the "World Youth Day" and the issue with the Islamic school in Camden (an outer suburb of Sydney). I think your view, Stephen, was clear... that children should be enabled to develop their own view of the world based on critical thinking (and I will be reading your book in the future).
I was bemused by some of the comments of students from certain schools, e.g. "Are they going to bomb us?" as stated during the interfaith day between the Christian and Islamic schools. Could that be evidence for some very narrow teachings. If not it shows those kids certainly haven't developed a broad knowledge and empathy for other communities. I really am against indoctrination and think this is central to all religions. I really am skeptical that critical thinking would be possible in faith-based schools. For this to occur they would have to have do more than the token "Interfaith Day". They would have to drop the pretense of open-hearted, open-mindedness and genuinely look at all sides of the story.
One thing that I want to mention is that I am married to a Christian and we have struggled with how to raise children together. There certainly are some mighty bastions in place when you challenge the views of a Christian, especially when proposing raising children without religion. I do also believe that religion is a manifestation of people wanting to do good, alas just slightly misguided.
Stephen, I look forward to reading your book. I think I saw it on a recommended reading list on another blogsite that I have found useful, that is , Dale McGowan's, who has written books "Parenting Beyond Belief" and "Raising Freethinkers". I haven't read either of these books, but will be adding them to my list.
- May 27, 2008 at 11:49 AM
Stephen - thank you for your succinct and insightful comments. You presented a far less highbrow and (dare I say pompous) persona than Richard Dawkins (and 'the horsemen') – which clearly struck the studio audience. Personally I would have liked to see your closing comments starting the discussion rather than closing them – but hopefully we'll see you in Australia to continue the debate soon.
As an aside, my 11 year old daughter, having read and re-read thee Philosophy Files 1 & 2, would like to know when your next children's book will be available.

Hello Stephen.
It was great to listen to what you had to say - that perspective was definitely needed in this type of discussion. And interesting to hear all that tried to interrupt you!
It was the first I heard about you, so I look forward to reading "The War on Children's Minds".
Btw I didn't think you looked sick. I just thought you were another pale Briton :D
Thanks again!
- May 27, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Yes, I thought you looked sick!:) But thanks for balancing out what was a weighted audience poorly moderated by the presenter.I also got the impression that a lot of editing had been done. Hope I am wrong.
Incorrectly, I thought I was going to be more alarmed by what the Muslim view points might have been. How wrong! The statements from the so called christian based educators just scared the crap out of me. Was the catholic education system represented in the audience?
Most of the representatives implied that they provided a balanced holistic approach to education but I couldn't help but wonder whether they practiced what they preached?
I also would have liked to have heard your closing statement at the beginning of the show.BTW I can't seem to locate a publication of the book you have made reference to..does anyone know where I can find it in Oz?
In summary, thought your points of view were good but the moderator missed a great opportunity for a vigorous debate.
- May 27, 2008 at 10:57 PM
One member of the audience noted that one important role that religious schools offer is a way in which parents can have the values they want taught to their children. I think Stephen you had said earlier that you agreed that good values should be taught in school also. I think though there is an opportunity for objection here.
Simply put, religious schools don't teach only values, they also teach propositions - factual content (that god exists, that god has an interest with the way in which we live our lives, that it is important in that respect to live in a way that god deems satisfactory). Religious education is not simply about the conveyance of values.
Now, values like aversions to lying, stealing, cheating (etc) can all be adequately taught through the use of nonreligious examples. Its not clear then that religious schools are at all necessary for teaching many values that parents value and want their children to take up also.
Nor is it clear that utilising (false) propositions in order to establish good values in children is a good way to go about things.

I didn't expect it to be quite that biased. Apart from you, the biologist and the greens senator I don't think there was a single critical voice in the audience. Still, compared with similar discussions in the mainstream media, I think the important points came across.
Had the audience not been so one-sided I think you could have made your religious/political school analogy. But given that several speakers gave religious opinion the same weight as scientific theory it's doubtful they would see political opinion as having anwhere near the same value as religious opinion.
Thanks for going on the show.

Sean: Yeah, it's true that students often rebel against what they're taught in class (I tutor philosophy at a local high school so I get it a lot - actually it's sort of encouraged in philosophy classes). But that doesn't mean that teachers should teach things that are wrong. The teacher from Pacific Hills said that "we have just as much respect for their viewpoints [about evolution] in our school as we do for any of the others". I don't know about you but I have more respect for veiwpoints that are correct than those that aren't. Veiwpoints that are obviously wrong, such as holocaust denial, the idea of a flat-earth and 2 + 2 = 5, merit less respect than those that are right.
Neil: I got my copy from Borders but with the Aussie dollar so good it might be just as cheap to order it from Amazon.
- May 28, 2008 at 2:40 AM
Thanks for going on the show. I do hope it will be one of many appearances in OZ. What did not come across clearly in the show was the weight of the parental right (recognised by the UN) to select a values/religious system for their child, overshadowing the right of the child to an education that encourages critical thinking. This was ironically illustrated in the example of the Islamic teacher who verbalised that 'a Muslim must make the choice to be Muslim themselves', and yet the choices for sending a child to a Muslim (or other religious)school are made before the child is educated in the broader concepts of religions. How can a child choose to be a'christian/muslim/jew...' at the age of 5?
In addition, it is not only faith based schools that should be monitored. In scripture classes in public schools, church-sponsored, untrained volunteers teach children their version of truth and doctrine every week. None of this is monitored but should be cause for concern. My public school child returned from scripture class last week to tell me that 'Jeesis' was her King. If there was an alternative to colouring in and time wasting, I would take her out of the scripture class. It is time Australia was given a broad-based ethics/philosophy/comparative religion course in public schools as the standard alternative to scripture.

Read through the transcript. (Wish the BBC would provide these more often!)
One thing that struck me as rather unfortunate was your comment
"there was a poll conducted in the UK recently which revealed that 36% of young British Muslims think that the appropriate penalty for anyone who leaves the Muslim faith is death. Now, clearly the schools that they were attending were not communicating this message clearly enough."
At first read it seems as if you were implying that 36% was not enough, which I suspect was not your intent.
That aside I thought it was a pity they did not take the snippet from Irfan Yusuf about god in government a bit further and give an opening for your point about political schools.
Don't worry about the hair - they didn't mention it in the transcript.

Hi Stephen, Watched SBS Insight and was grateful to hear your words as I was becoming frustrated and some what concerned about some of what was said. It also surprises me when something or someone mentions something that resonates with oneself. What you said did, so, I have ordered your book to read. What I would like to know is the name of the book you mentioned about the people that rescued those in the holocaust (Ultruists? or something). Look forward to knowing the name of this book and reading yours. I am very interested in what you have to say.

Hi last anonymous - yes that was a bit weird. They edited what I said. I was referring back to something that was removed in editing.
In fact much of what I said was tidied up. Whenever you see a cutaway, something is cut. They did warn me that everyone's speech is "tidied" like that.
Thanks for all the comments. As this is first TV thing I have done, it's interesting, and useful to hear what people think...
- May 28, 2008 at 5:50 PM
I'd say, do more! You have a good tv 'presence' (certainly not all in academia can claim it).

I think your last comment and summation on Insight was brilliant! and made me rethink and revisit some of my previous comments on this Blog.
Visually, but to me most importantly; vocaly, you came across well in spite of the editing and in attitude, far more rational than many of the Australian guests.
The discussion appeared patriarchal too? and I was suprised by the few female educators present.
Would love you to do more television!
- May 29, 2008 at 5:35 AM
I watched the Insight programme on SBS and was absolutely delighted to hear your views. You were the only person apart from the Greens MP who made any sense. I am thrilled that I have discovered your website and intend to buy every book of yours I can lay my hands on.
I have three young children and it is important that they learn how to think not what to think. I want them to have the benefit of a private school education here in Australia but my dilemma is that most of the private schools in my area are all faith based schools. I want them to attend a school that helps them as you say give them free choice and develops within them the ability to criticise and question overall belief systems. Hopefully as a parent and with the help of your books I will be able to introduce alternatives to my children.

Thank you, Stephen! You comments were fascinating, and clear - though i doubt whether many of the "religious right" taking part in the discussion heard you clearly.
I was appalled by the students on the show who parroted the party line (each one a "chosen people") with such an air of certainty. Their schooling had been a "success". Their teachers seemed to be unaware of the history of the western open society, and even more the history of science and philosophy. As for religious tolerance, it was interesting watching Jew, Christian and Muslim partake in a seeming love-fest, when many of us are more used to watching them in very public hate-fests. Maybe they just need a common enemy to bridge their otherwise endless sibling rivalry - that enemy being modern secular democracy? Your argument for a set of foundation values (such as empathy and altruism) beyond the core values of each sectarian group was very fine. Your position seems to sit well with the global self-identity and community view of the philosopher Peter Singer, and just as vital a voice.

Waow! How good is it that for once I turned the tv on to see if there was any news, but even better it was the SBS Insight TV programme on faith schools! Exactly what I needed. I have been trying to ask around how to "teach" my kids about my "non-faith" since my 5 year old one came home to tell me: you know who created the earth? God did!!!! I was so shocked and unprepared, I quicky mumbled OH no, I don't believe this is the case, but then realised I didn't have a clue on how to bring this subject to her.
She started prep and 3 weeks later we received a letter giving us the "choice" about having RE classes. But all the mums told me everyone goes, your daughter would have to go to another class and do some drawing and worst of all, will feel left out! I was very upset since I felt pressured into letting my kid do RE. So since the big question popped I went to our local library to find children books on non-religious "beliefs" like atheism, evolutionism, agnostics, any children book that could help me to teach my kids the fundamental about respect, choice, love, care, ... Nothing. But it appears that I will be able to read a few books, and someone could even suggest some other, hopefully childrens books.
All I can add is that I am so glad I have seen this show, because I have been able to find out about Stephen Law, and I can't wait to tell the librairian about a few books to add to her shelves!
- May 30, 2008 at 5:16 AM
Well said! I agree with everything you said. I think that they were just opposed to your atheism and that is why they were so 'offended'. You made some really good points and that's really what the government should be focusing on; ensuring schools are raising critical thinking children.

If you've ever had the pleasure to meet Mistah F.A.B., you'd know he's a very sincere person, who takes pride in everything in he does. Whether it's a casual conversation with a stranger or one of the hundreds of verses he records every year, this Bay Area boss leads by example and his latest music video for "Letter To My Daughter" is another testament to his steadfast dedication to the things he deems important. During director Brian Storm's sincere visual, FAB can be found seeing off his lil' lady before heading on tour, seemingly feeling guilty, even though he knows the time lost is needed to provide her with all the necessities she deserves.
And, while this heavy-hearted version of Fabby Davis may be a tad different than his role as the yellow bus driver, maybe that old approach was only practice for the rides to school his baby girl's gonna' need down the line.

Last Saturday, the Dallas Bears convened for food and fellowship at their anniversary dinner at Celebration restaurant. Through the course of the night, announcements were made about the group's efforts, the new board for 2012-13 and recognition of various individuals who assisted the group throughout the Texas Bear Round-Up. You can see some of those announcements on Twitter here.
The highlight of the evening, though, was certainly the DB's donation of $58,000 to local charities. The group doled out the bulk of its donations to Youth First Texas ($26,250), the Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund ($13,125), AIDS Interfaith Network ($13,125), AIDS Services of Dallas ($2,125) and the Sharon St. Cyr Fund ($1,500).

Despite the high impact on human health caused by Tuberculosis (TB) infections worldwide, nearly 45 years have passed since a novel drug was introduced for its treatment. As MDR-TB and XDR-TB cases rise globally new strategies and drugs are desperately needed to address this problem. Tuberculosis Treatment: The Search For New Drugs covers a wide range of topics about TB drug discovery. The e-book begins with historical information about Tuberculosis discovery and treatment and explores modern treatment strategies, formulations (synthetic and natural) and class of compounds. The extraction of important drugs from various sources is also covered in separate chapters along with information about promising drugs undergoing clinical testing. The e-book is a useful reference for readers interested in learning about the array of pharmaceuticals discovered and used to combat Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.

To overcome the problems with available treatments, new drugs to treat TB
are urgently required, specifically more potent therapies, with fewer side effects, to be
used in shorter treatment regimens and to be employed to treat MDR TB and latent
disease. Unfortunately, after the introduction of rifampin in the market (1966-1970), no
new classes of anti-TB drugs have been developed in the last forty-three year, excepted
by rifapentine, a very close analog of rifampin, which was introduced by the FDA in
1998 and more recently bedaquiline, a diarylquinoline approved by FDA for multidrugresistant
tuberculosis in December 2012. In this context, different new initiatives have
been created to obtain promising drug candidates. Considering that, this chapter will be

Riverfront Project continues to grow, with help of community
By Katie Steele
In June, I completed a six-year term on the Riverfront Commission, including four years as co-chairman. It was a very exciting and rewarding time to be on the commission and to be involved with the Riverfront Project. The commission today continues to pursue the vision developed by the group's founders more than a quarter century ago.
To give a little background, the Riverfront Project was formally started a little over 25 years ago. It began with the cleanup of junkyards on Watson Island, south of downtown on the Colorado River. The vision then grew from the initial cleanup to the protection and preservation of the riverfront. This vision included the construction of a trail and parks along the Colorado River from Palisade to Fruita and beyond to the Utah state line.
Now, more than 25 years later, the Riverfront Commission is still the primary advocate and ambassador for our Riverfront Project. The commission is an 11-member group appointed by representatives from Mesa County, the city of Grand Junction, the city of Fruita and the town of Palisade.
The Riverfront Commission works with various local, state and federal partners, as well as private property owners, nonprofits and individuals. The common bond among all the partners is the past, present and future commitment and dedication to the preservation, restoration, protection and the enjoyment of our rivers.
The Riverfront Commission is still very focused on the completion of the Riverfront Trail from Palisade to Fruita. But, the group is also involved with, and supportive of, future efforts to expand the trail from Palisade east to the Garfield County line, west to the Kokopelli Trailhead near Loma and south from Grand Junction to the city of Delta. A good portion of the trail connection to Delta could run through the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, starting at the Whitewater Boat Launch and running south parallel to the Gunnison River all the way to Delta.
A great deal has been accomplished over the last 25 years due to the efforts of many. Last year, Mesa County completed Phase I of the Monument View Section of the Riverfront Trail. This phase runs from the Redlands Parkway west to the Walter Walker Wildlife Area. The county has now started Phase II, which will run next to the frontage road from the Colorado Welcome Center in Fruita east to 18 1/2 Road.
Phase III is the crucial connection from Grand Junction to Fruita and will be constructed beside the river from the Walter Walker Wildlife Area west to 18 1/2 Road.
The three phases of the Monument View Section of the Riverfront Trail amount to the single largest project of trail construction in the 25-year history of the Riverfront Project, totaling 8.4 miles. Once all three phases are completed in 2014, you will be able to walk or ride your bike from Fruita to Las Colonias Park in downtown Grand Junction, traversing more than 25 miles of Riverfront Trail.
The next exciting event will be Las Colonias Park, which is located east of the Fifth Street Bridge and runs along the Colorado River to 27 1/2 Road. At the July 3 City Council meeting, the council approved the 2013 master plan for Las Colonias, although the council members did not commit to an appropriation of funds or to a specific timeline. The council gave direction to the city's Parks and Recreation Department to seek funding commitments from grants, donations and more to start the process. Once those commitments are obtained, the City Council will review adding matching funds for Las Colonias.
The Western Colorado Botanical Gardens and the Edgewater Brewery are already near Las Colonias. To complete the area, the 2013 master plan includes an amphitheater, lakes, trails, a native-plant garden, dog park, boat launch and even a zip line over the Colorado River. There will also be a disc golf course on Watson Island — the same Watson Island that used to be a junkyard.
Las Colonias could be an incredible addition to the string of river parks that includes Riverbend Park in Palisade and the James M. Robb Colorado State Park in Fruita. I hope we see Las Colonias Park completed in the near future for the benefit of all.
Funding for these endeavors has come from many sources. Great Outdoors Colorado has been a major contributor, as well as countless businesses, individuals, service clubs, foundations and governmental agencies. The funds realized from our tax dollars would not have been sufficient to cover all the costs, so these alternative funding sources are essential.
Once all the connections are made, our local trail system will reach out to our neighbors. This network of trails will add value to our valley-wide trail systems for the benefit of all of us who live here, as well as for our visitors.
The parks along the trail provide wonderful opportunities for people to attend outdoor concerts and festivals and enjoy water features, picnic areas and, most especially, the enjoyment of our rivers — all in an urban setting.
The parks are, and will be, in close proximity to our homes and accessible to all.
The Riverfront Project remains an incredible resource for recreational purposes, getting our children involved in the outdoors and the protection of rivers, wildlife and riparian areas.
But the Riverfront Project would not be possible if not for the continued support of our community and local elected governmental officials. You are all invaluable to the continued success and the future development of the Riverfront Project and our local trail systems. Thank you for all your efforts, support and hard work.
Katie Steele is a longtime resident of the Grand Valley and former member of the Riverfront Commission.

Hopefully these work... I sprayed it with parts store brand bed liner for texture first, masking the cheekpiece to keep it smooth. I used Krylon "Khaki", matte black and whatever their earth brown camo series color is called. Base was with khaki, then laid a small white pine branch over it, then brown, then black near the bottom of the stock for shade effect. It was a little cluttered and from what I know about camoflauge would have looked solid at distance, defeating the point. I was a little nervous considering the stock alone is worth more than I am. I just placed the small branch over random areas and "misted" it again with the khaki. After it dried I applied Dura Coat matte clear with an airbrush and low pressure. Only reccomendation I have is don't get too close with the Dura Coat. Even though it's matte if it builds up it will gloss up a little. I put about 5 light coats of Dura Coat on it, hitting it with a hairdryer in between to get it to flash off quickly and keep it as matte as possible. I tried to compromise on the colors to encompass the areas I will hunt with it most: overgrown field edges and low branched softwood. I like it and it was pretty cheap and easy.
Ohh, and the old Weaver 4x is just to get me by until my Leupold VXIII 4.5-14 comes in.:o

Oops, the other side. This a crappy work camera so the color might not look quite the same.
Doggone! That looks awesome! You can't beat that, appreciate getting the pics up and posted. I am impressed, good quality work getting the pattern on. She looks great, I am inspired. Will have to give it a try when I do my next one.
Congrats on the "new" rifle.
send m a lonk were u got it dun
Umm, not quite following... One more time?
That looks really good! Thanks for the write up.:)
Nice looking stick - How about a write up of the rest of the gun? Looks like a Remy 700 with, possibly, a 20" bull barrel? Caliber? :rolleyes:
I am not sure what you wanna know. It's my attempt to get into long(er) range shooting, like only out to 500 yards or so. There are not really any longer, safe areas for anything over that here in VT. It's a Remington 700 LTR in .308. I slapped a Harris bi pod on it that I got for next to nothing. I pored over scope mounting options and settled on a plain old Leupold 1 piece base with Leupold rings. I am awaiting the delivery of a scope ring lapping rod and a Leupold VX III 4.5-15X-40mm AJO. I figure at this point the rifle can easily shoot better than I can and I can always upgrade later. I have adhered to the slow barrel break in despite some of the conflicting info. 1 round, clean, 1 round, clean for 10 rounds. 3 rounds clean, 3 rounds clean etc. The only thing I can find concrete logic in is NOT using any type of "abrasive" paste as I have heard of some guys using Flitz or JB. I also decided to avoid moly coated bullets. Only issue I have is that the base uses only one of the two rear base mounting screws, which I cannot undstand. Hopefully I can get some decent range time this spring, and wreak havok on the local woodchuck population since I conned my dad into reloading some 110 grain V Max for me.:D
Your break in procedure is top notch, maybe even a little overboard depending on the caliber of the barrel you are shooting. Is it custom? ( Hart, Kreiger, etc. ) Or is it Remington factory? In any event, with the diligence you are using, it will serve you well for years to come. Kudos to you! *They need a thumbs up icon in here*
As for the base - Remington bases do suck. I would suggest getting it replaced when you got the cash. Have the mounting holes drilled out for one size bigger, I think they are #8's now, but one size up makes all the difference in the world for having a sound platform. Get a good 20MOA scope base like the ones from Badger Ordnance ( badgerord.com ). They make an awesome base and it's a direct short action replacement. Their Military Issue rings are top notch. Since you bought such a great scope, you need a good platform for it, or it won't do you any good.
I look forward to seeing the bounty placed on your head in the months to come in The WoodChuck Gazette. :D Happy Hunting....

Linda's Profile
I opened this shop in 2011 but did very little with it, daunted by Etsy`s size..
I re-opened it in January 2012 determined to fill it and find my way round Etsy.
I taught myself to crochet as a child from a booklet and my grandmother taught me to knit. I learned to sew at school although it has never been a great love of mine.
I don`t follow patterns, I get an idea and make it. It often becomes very different to the original idea in the making.
I learned to needle felt and totally love it. I love making pictures and it constantly evolves as I learn to do more intricate designs with it. I then turn these works of art into Needle cases or books and pincushions, with new ideas and uses coming along all the time.
I have always felt that just because something is practical, there is no reason why it can`t also be beautiful…

How to Build a PC: Mother's Day
17) Although the Gigabyte motherboard is equipped with onboard video capabilities, we're using AMD's ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 3450 for extra muscle and video processing power. Remove the chassis grill from PCI Express slot. Align the video card with PCI Express slot and firmly press it into place. Secure the card with a screw.
18) Attach a SATA cable and power connector to the optical drive and hard drive. It's also a good idea at this time to attach the 24-pin main power connector to the motherboard and the Molex connectors to the cooling fans installed in the case, and the four-pin power plug to the CPU power connector.
19) Connect the front panel and card reader USB connectors, plus the FireWire (i1394), E-SATA, and audio front panel connectors to the motherboard. You'll want to make sure the area is well lit when completing this step to ensure proper connection.
20) Reattach the side panels to the chassis, and flip the power supply position to the "I" position. You are ready to attach the power cable and the peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor, and so on), and boot!

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two-time defending national finalist Butler University was voted the preseason favorite to capture the 2011-12 Horizon League men's basketball championship, marking the third straight season the Bulldogs were tabbed in the top spot in voting by the League's coaches, media and sports information directors.
Detroit, who narrowly finished second to Butler in the balloting, placed three players on the Preseason Horizon League First Team, led by Player of the Year selection Ray McCallum.
Each of the top four teams in the balloting received at least one first-place vote, with Cleveland State edging Milwaukee for third in the poll. Valparaiso took fifth, just ahead of Green Bay. In seventh, Youngstown State matched its highest position in the poll since joining the Horizon League, while Wright State and Loyola were separated by 12 points in eighth and ninth, respectively. UIC rounded out the poll.
McCallum spent part of the summer as the youngest member of USA Basketball's 2011 World University Games team, playing in all eight contests as Team USA went 7-1. Butler Head Coach Brad Stevens served as an assistant on the team.
The sophomore is the first Detroit player to earn Preseason Player of the Year accolades since Rashad Phillips collected the honor prior to the 2000-01 season.
Joining McCallum on the first team were teammates Eli Holman and Chase Simon; Simon and McCallum are the leading returning scorers (13.5 ppg) in the Horizon League, while Holman paced the conference in rebounding (9.6 rpg) in 2010-11. Holman was the lone big man on the first team as Cleveland State guard Trevon Harmon (13.2 ppg) and Milwaukee point guard Kaylon Williams (5.4 apg) earned places on the team.
The second team was filled by four front-court talents, as Williams' Milwaukee teammate, forward Tony Meier (12.0 ppg, 44.3 three-point percentage) led the second team selections. Centers Alec Brown of Green Bay (10.2 ppg, 2.1 bpg) and Butler's Andrew Smith (8.5 ppg) joined Loyola forward Ben Averkamp (12.0 ppg). Valparaiso guard Ryan Broekhoff (10.3 ppg, 44.8 3-pt percentage), who competed in the World University Games with Australia this summer, was the lone guard on the second team.
Butler, who was part of the historic three-way tie for the regular-season Horizon League championship before running through the Horizon League Tournament en route to a second straight national championship appearance, returns four key components - Smith, guards Chase Stigall, Ronald Nored and forward Khyle Marshall - from last year's national runner-up. In total, the Bulldogs return eight letterwinners from last year's team.
Detroit will lean heavily on McCallum for its scoring and distribution needs, after the sophomore earned Horizon League Newcomer of the Year honors in 2010-11 after averaging 13.5 ppg and 4.9 apg. The Titans return all of their letterwinners from a year ago, a season in which five players - McCallum, Simon (13.5 ppg), Holman (11.8), Nick Minnerath (11.2) and Chris Blake (10.9) averaged 10 or more points per game.
Cleveland State returns four starters from last year's Horizon League co-championship team, but will need to replace the League's Player of the Year in Norris Cole. 2009-10 All-Defensive Team pick D'Aundray Brown returns after missing last season due to injury to supplement the efforts of Harmon, Jeremy Montgomery (11.6 ppg) and Aaron Pogue (8.2 ppg).
Milwaukee, who claimed the No. 1 seed in the Horizon League Tournament and the League's automatic NIT bid in 2010-11, boasts the combination of Williams and Meier. Williams paced the League in assists last year, fueling the Panthers' run to the co-championship. Meier's inside-outside game allowed him to average 12.0 ppg and finish second in the League in three-point shooting.
Valparaiso breaks in new head coach Bryce Drew, who slides down the bench to replace his father, Homer. Broekhoff returns as the League's top marksman, hitting 44.8-percent of his three-point attempts. Richie Edwards, who was the third player in the Horizon League to appear in the World University Games, playing for New Zealand, will make his Valpo debut.
Green Bay will be playing more up-tempo basketball this season, looking to take advantage of the 7-foot-1 Brown's athleticism. The big man set a new Phoenix freshman record with 67 blocks last season.
With four returning starters from last year, hopes are high at Youngstown State. Damian Eargle will anchor the Penguins inside after averaging 11.3 ppg and ranking 10th in the NCAA with 3.0 blocks per game.
After losing its top four scorers to graduation, Wright State Head Coach Billy Donlon will guide the sixth-youngest squad in the NCAA this season. On the Raiders' summer trip to Italy, freshman Reggie Arceneaux was the lone player to finish in double figures in all four games.
Porter Moser takes over the coaching reigns at Loyola as the Ramblers move into a renovated Gentile Arena. Jordan Hicks (11.7 ppg) returns after missing two-thirds of the season due to injury, adding to the production of Averkamp and Walt Gibler (9.4 ppg).
With nine newcomers, Howard Moore's UIC squad saw the most turnover in the League. Moore will turn to seniors Darrin Williams (4.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg) and Paris Carter (4.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg) to lead the young squad.
The regular season will begin on Monday, Nov. 7, when Valparaiso travels to Arizona in the 2k Sports Classic benefitting Coaches versus Cancer for a 9 p.m. ET tip on ESPNU. The League schedule will tip off with on Thursday, Dec. 1, with eight League teams in action.
The 2012 Horizon League Men's Basketball Championship is slated for Feb. 28, March 2-3, 6. The regular-season champion will host the second round and semifinals, with the highest remaining seed hosting the championship game live on ESPN or ESPN2 at 9 p.m. ET as part of "Championship Week."

Sorry Ladies, Taylor Lautner Is Officially Off The Market!
Taylor Lautner and his Tracers co-star, Marie Avgeropoulous have gone public with their off-screen romance when they were seen canoodling on Monday in Soho.
The 21-year-old Twilight star and the 27-year-old brunette beauty have been on romance rumor patrol for weeks but the two have finally confirmed it by going public.
Ugh. NO. I mean, it's not like I could get Taylor anyway, but he is just so hot!
A source told Hollywoodlife.com that, "Taylor's having a great time with Marie but I doubt it will last after they finish this movie," the source says. "My guess is this will be a fun summer fling for Taylor because his number one priority is his career. He is extremely driven and ambitious and wants to become the biggest action star in the world."
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck or Brad and Angelina. It's so Hollywood cliche. I'm sorry to say, but I have a strong feeling these two will call it quits all too soon.
Do you think the budding romance will last? Comment below and launch the gallery above!

Hi guys:
I travelled across Canada this year.
I also went South to Tennesee to ride the "Tail of the Dragon".
In all it was about 20,000KM.
I got lost(not terribly) a couple times, and spent far too long looking for things like campsites and Grocery stores.
A GPS could be your friend in times like those but $700 is a bit much!
I'm willing to forego the waterproof feature since I could get 6 for that price.
I got a Garmin 1350 on sale for $115 and built this cradle and mount in about 15 minutes.
Well, the idea took about 15 minutes.
The build was more like mumble-mumble hours.
First, have no fear.
I drilled and tapped holes in the top triple tree to accept the Delrin spacer. These holes go through thin parts of webs in the casting.
Cradle and spacer parts. The Delrin machined like a dream. If you haven't tried it, buy some for your next low temperature project.
Finished spacer on the bike.
Cradle on the spacer.
GPS in and on.
The fit is a tight slide, I will try it tomorrow, the extra aluminum to the left can be drilled for a lock if it tends to slide out but I really doubt it will.
It's not meant to be looked at while riding, I just need it handy for quick access in a lay-by or whatever.
Now I can find a McDonald's easily, if anyone hasn't tried their coffee recently - try it. I prefer it to Tim's, and it rivals my home roasted from green beans.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – When the news first appeared that former Colorado Rapids midfielder Wells Thompson had requested a trade, and was subsequently dealt to the Chicago Fire for a conditional draft pick on Monday, it caught many off guard.
Thompson started only five games in 2012 after making a career-high 22 starts in 2011 and, according to Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja on Monday, had requested a trade "some time" ago.
The Rapids tried him at defensive midfielder along with his usual winger position as well, but the former No. 5 overall SuperDraft pick couldn't seem to find a way to crack the starting lineup.
"It's part of the game," Pareja said on Monday. "There's 30 players, they all want to play, and it's normal. And when players are older, it's normal."
Pareja said the team and Thompson had a "professional" parting and that the midfielder was never a distraction despite his trade request. But despite the seemingly amicable split, it was still difficult for some players to take.
"We're going to miss him," said midfielder Jeff Larentowicz, who came to the Rapids with Thompson from New England in a January 2010 trade. "I've been with him his whole career. But clearly, it's a situation where he wants to play, he wants an opportunity. As a player, you can't ask for more. When I texted him the other day, I just said 'good luck' and hope it works out."
Thompson was named the Rapids' 2011 Humanitarian of the Year for his active involvement in the local community, participating in a variety of charities and organizations which made him a fan favorite as well.
"Everyone here at the Rapids will miss Wells, who was a wonderfully positive presence in our community," Rapids president Tim Hinchey said in a team statement on Monday night. "He made a strong impression on the club, from the fans to the front office to the locker room, and we will all work to continue his commitment to service and charity."
At age 28, however, Thompson is looking for more consistent playing time, something he hopes to find in the Windy City.

text: Dinner June 20 to celebrate Frank Cleckley's career By Laura Reston June 2, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston area lawyers plan to celebrate the career of law professor and former state Supreme Court Justice Frank Cleckley, the first black tenured professor at West Virginia University, at a dinner June 20.Cleckley, who retired this spring, taught at the WVU College of Law for more than 40 years.Proceeds from the dinner will go to The Innocence Project, an organization that strives to free wrongfully convicted people using DNA evidence.Valena Beety, chair of the West Virginia Innocence Project, said that Cleckley has tirelessly fought for civil rights legislation and has always advocated for disenfranchised people -- a mission, which echoes that of The Innocence Project. "Professor Cleckley always stood up for people who didn't have a voice," Beety said. "That's what the West Virginia Innocence Project seeks to do."Since 1992, the Innocence Project has attempted to raise public awareness about unjust imprisonment and ameliorate the systemic problems that plague the criminal justice system today.Lawyers for the Innocence Project have used DNA testing to exonerate more than 300 individuals, many of whom were on death row."They were pioneers in the use of DNA evidence to help people get their convictions overturned," said Elliot B. Hicks, a lawyer at Spilman Thomas & Battle in Charleston and an organizer of the dinner.Last year, WVU started an Innocence Project clinic modeled on the original at Yeshiva University, where law students work alongside attorneys to advise and represent convicted clients.When Cleckley decided to retire earlier this year, the dean of the College of Law asked him how the school should commemorate his career. Cleckley insisted that any fundraising effort in his name go to charity and jumped at a proposal to contribute to the Innocence Project at WVU, Hicks said. The proceeds from the dinner will fund a two-year Cleckley Fellowship for students who want to work for the Innocence Project clinic after graduation."We hope we can raise a substantial amount of money for the Innocence Project and honor Professor Cleckley at the same time," Hicks said.According to Beety, Cleckley was immensely popular at the College of Law."He was loved by his students," Beety said. "He was a phenomenal educator."Although Cleckley was busy as a teacher and mentor, he continued to work on cases that benefited the community, she added. "That's unusual at a lot of schools," Beety said. Cleckley's devotion to civil rights litigation began a trend at the law school.Today, many professors not only teach and write scholarly works, but also pursue cases that benefit the community, keeping civil rights litigation alive, Beety said.Students, including Hicks, who took several classes with Cleckley, also remember him as a leader at the College of Law."He's a revered professor," Hicks said.Cleckley clearly and succinctly explained historical precedent to students, Hicks said. "We came to understand why the law was what it was," Hicks said.Cleckley briefly left the College of Law to serve on the Supreme Court of West Virginia, where he earned a reputation as a balanced voice and strong writer, who could skillfully reconcile current cases with historical precedent."He settled the law by harkening back to other cases," Hicks said. "People could understand how the stream of law came together."Cleckley also managed to toe the line between the liberal and conservative factions on the court.One could have assumed that Cleckley, an appointee of a liberal governor, would veer to the left once on the bench, Hicks said. But Cleckley handed down balanced opinions throughout his tenure."He brought a period of calm to the court," Hicks said.Cleckley eventually stepped down from the bench after only three years to continue teaching.Although Cleckley sat on the bench only briefly, he built a legacy as a keen legal mind, Hicks said. That legacy endures today.Hicks said that justices throughout West Virginia have continued to call upon Cleckley to outline criminal procedure and to help craft opinions.The dinner, which is sponsored by several law firms in the Charleston area, costs $125 per plate to attend. It will take place at the Clay Center in Charleston.Reach Laura Reston at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5112.
