For the Obama administration, the shutdown is just one more political crisis it won't let go to waste.
Take the park rangers who last week locked under armed guard a group of senior citizens that included visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the U.S. inside Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. Gordon Hodgson, the guide of the 41-person tour group, told the Livingston, Montana Enterprise that officials told him they could stay at the hotel but could not do anything.
"All we could do was eat dinner in the dining room. It was like a ghost town," he said.
A member of Hodgson's group, Pat Vaillancourt, told her hometown paper the Newburyport News that, "They (the rangers) looked like Hulk Hogans, armed. They told us you can't go outside." She added that some of the foreign visitors with limited English were afraid and thought they were being arrested and that "A lot of people who were foreign said they wouldn't come back (to America)."
Barricades surrounded Old Faithful and the group was not even allowed to photograph bison as "recreating" was not allowed, according to an armed ranger who ordered the tour back onto their bus. Hodgson, the guide, called the behavior of the rangers "Gestapo tactics." He added, "We paid a lot to get in. All these people wanted to do was take some pictures."
And then there is the widely reported story about the National Parks Service barricading the open air monuments at the National Mall in Washington. That decision forced elderly World War II veterans who had traveled hundreds of miles to visit the memorial honoring their service to find a way around them.
Employees of the Parks Service even removed handles on well pumps along the C&O Canal towpath that runs 184 miles from Washington to Cumberland, Maryland, preventing bikers from getting water, according to a report last week in The Cumberland Times-News.

Sept. 26, 2012 — Three taxation experts looked into the future last week in Frankfort and predicted that Kentucky state government could face a revenue shortage of a billion dollars by 2020.
Recent shortfalls of tens of millions of dollars will multiply a hundredfold unless the state broadens its tax base, according to the team of economic consultants – two from UK and one from the University of Tennessee.
They told Gov. Steve Beshear's blue ribbon tax commission that state revenue cannot keep pace with future economic growth and that changes are needed to make Kentucky more competitive with other states in attracting and keeping employers.
The experts gave the commission a list of options to consider, including some political bombshells such as putting the state sales tax back on groceries, exempt since 1972.
But they also said that tax relief must be included to avoid too much negative impact on poor folks who spend a larger portion of their income on food, for example.
Other hot button suggestions include applying the sales tax to some services, reducing the tax break now given pensioners and replacing some corporation taxes with a new tax on gross receipts.
Cities and counties could benefit from the option of imposing a local sales tax in return for a reduction in local income taxes, often called payroll taxes.
Tennessee, which has no state income tax, has the nation's highest combined state and local sales tax rates at an average of 9.45 percent.
The state sales tax is 7 percent and the average local sales tax is 2.45 percent.
Tennessee has local option so that city and county voters must approve local sales taxes, in the same fashion as alcohol sales.
We believe strongly that voters should have such rights, particularly as it applies to taxation.
The tax experts said the commission, which reports to the governor in November, should "shift taxation away from business capital and labor earnings and toward consumption."
By the way, the current study on tax reform is the 11th in Kentucky in the last 20 years or so.
The first 10 reports are sitting on shelves somewhere in Frankfort or in the limestone caverns where the state keeps its old records.
By now it should be obvious that Kentucky either modernizes its state and local tax codes or finds itself, along with state and local governments, being unable to provide basic services for their citizens.
By the calendar, 2020 is just eight years away and the clock is ticking.

On his recent mission to Africa, Prince Harry said he hoped his late mother Princess Diana would be proud of his charity work there.
He's now added another reason to live up to that wish – by assuming the leading role in a campaign to raise funds that will mark the 25th anniversary of the Halo Trust, the landmine clearance charity that Diana was linked with at her death.
In the January before her fatal August 1997 car accident, Diana highlighted Halo's work when she walked through the minefields of the African country of Angola, and was famously photographed with a group of landmine victims as they sat under a tree.

Prince Harry spoke about his charity work Wednesday night in South Africa – and of hoping that his mother, Princess Diana, would be proud of his efforts.
Diana worked to help those with HIV/Aids and Harry, 28, is doing the same in the tiny kingdom of Lesotho that he has been visiting this week.
The Prince spoke after a whirlwind visit to the kingdom. There, he checked up on the work of the charity Sentebale that he set up with friend Prince Seeiso in memory of their late mothers.
Addressing a gala dinner in Johannesburg in neighboring South Africa, Harry said he hoped both mothers would be looking down with pride. "I hope she would be proud of what we are trying to achieve in her name," he said of Queen Mamohato Bereng Seeiso. "I hope that my mother will be proud, too."

Some of the gorgeous and historic dresses worn by Princess Diana are headed for auction – again!
The most famous of the 10 dresses, which were originally sold by Diana in New York a few months before her death in 1997, is the midnight blue gown that Diana wore as she twirled around the dance floor at the White House with John Travolta in 1985. Diana graced the Victor Edelstein-designed velvet dress for the state dinner given by President Ronald and Nancy Reagan in honor of the princess's then-husband, Prince Charles.
London-based auctioneer Kerry Taylor is selling the gowns, with the collection including some of the princess's favorite designers: Zandra Rhodes, Catherine Walker and Bruce Oldfield.

That mysterious photo that surfaced earlier this month of the young, pre-princess Diana Spencer has, it turns out, an equally mysterious buyer.
A real estate investor from San Diego, Calif., who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased the photo for $18,000, according to the New Hampshire auction house RR Auction.
The black-and-white image shows a young Diana lounging with her friend Adam Russell, described by Diana biographer Andrew Morton as the great-grandson of former prime minister Stanley Baldwin and now a deer farmer in Dorset.

Leave it to royal reporter and Diana biographer Andrew Morton to reveal the "unknown male" in the 1980s photo of the late princess making the rounds Friday as it heads to auction.
Morton, who wrote Diana, Her True Story, was familiar with the image from when he was originally "given the task of trying to identify the boy in the picture."
"The young man was Adam Russell, the great-grandson of former prime minister Stanley Baldwin, and now a deer farmer in Dorset," Morton tells the U.K.'s Guardian of when he conducted interviews for his book.

She was one of the world's most photographed women, but now a new and unseen photo of the late Princess Diana is causing a stir nearly 16 years after her death as it goes to public auction.
The black-and-white photo shows a teenage Diana on a Swiss ski holiday lounging on the lap of a young man, who has been identified as Adam Russell, the great-grandson of former prime minister Stanley Baldwin. He is reading a book and resting it on Diana's shoulder.
A bottle of liquor rests on a window ledge above her head, creating an image that was certain to be unfit for a future princess, and is one that was marked "not to be published," according to Britain's Daily Mirror, which purchased the picture in Feb. 26, 1981 – just two days after the then-Diana Spencer was engaged to Prince Charles.
The photo was kept hidden in the paper's archives until it was purchased seven years ago by the private Caren Archive. It is now set for auction by RR Auctions in New Hampshire, and is being described as a "salacious teenage image of the future princess."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Singapore, the first stop on their official tour to Southeast Asia to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
In a nod to her hosts, Kate, 30, wore a pink kimono-style dress with an orchid pattern by British designer Jenny Packham as they arrived Tuesday.
One of their first stops was at the city's Botanic Gardens to view their famed orchids, including one named for the couple and one named after William's late mother, Princess Diana.

Princess Diana's legacy lives on – thanks to her brother, Earl Spencer.
Spencer, 47, and his wife Countess Spencer, 39, have welcomed their first child together, a healthy 8 lb., 14 oz. baby girl whom they have named Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer – after his beloved late sister.
"She's adorable," the proud (seven-time) father told London's Daily Mail.
Although the couple hadn't settled on a name before the birth, Spencer had the newborn's late aunt Diana in mind. "I very much wanted her commemorated in the naming of our daughter," he said.

It appears that she's done just that – in the looks department, at least.
Watts, 43, (who will star in next year's biopic Caught in Flight about Diana, Princess of Wales) was photographed in London filming scenes and bearing an uncanny resemblance to the late royal.

A tobacco sting was conducted in the unincorporated areas of San Luis Obispo County over the weekend that found 14 stores in violation of selling tobacco products to minors.
The compliance check, a joint effort by the San Luis Obispo County Health Agencys Tobacco Control Program and the Sheriffs Office was conducted county wide ending Sunday. It utilized three underage decoys at 54 businesses.
In this operation, more than a quarter of the businesses sold to minors, up 14 percent from last year. According to the Sheriffs Office, the percentage of offending businesses has more than doubled each year for the past two years.
Businesses cited for a first violation were Central Market in Oceano; Baywood Market and Tobacco Castle in Los Osos; and Nipomo Marketplace, Nipomo Smoke Shop, CVS and Vons on West Tefft Street in Nipomo.
Stores cited for a second violation were Bob & Jans Bottle Shop in Cambria, Mesa View Market in Arroyo Grande, Santa Margarita KOA in Santa Margarita, and La Placita Market and Nipomo Stop N Buy in Nipomo.
Mission Market & Deli in San Miguel and Oceano Market & Gas in Oceano were third-time offenders.

MANKATO — I don't envy Richard Barlow's job.
As the juror for the Carnegie Art Center's inaugural juried art show, Barlow was charged with culling a field of 209 submissions down to the final 100 that will appear in the exhibit that opens Thursday.
"It's tough because obviously you're making judgments about what stays and what goes," said Barlow, himself an artist as well as art instructor at Gustavus Adolphus College and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. "But I didn't see any pieces without value. That made the judging very difficult."
Barlow said he approached his jurying responsibilities cerebrally, balancing the technique and execution of each piece against more intangible values, such as ambition, innovation and fidelity to the artist's vision.
He said he also tried to_maintain a broader perspective of the exhibition, choosing pieces that integrated themselves into a "dialogue" with other selected works.
"I hope individual works are elevated by the context," Barlow said. "I hope the show itself is, on some level, greater than the sum of its parts."
The result of Barlow's efforts is a diverse exhibit that includes a wide variety of techniques and styles.
In photography, visitors will find Jill McKeown's "What Was Left," in which a concentrated beam of sunlight forms an arresting contrast with the soiled couch and shredded floorboards it illuminates, as well as Charles Eggert's barefoot boy surmounting an uncertain corridor with a full arsenal of toy weapons.
In painting, there's Essie Mostaghimi's politically and socially motivated commentaries dressed in the high-gloss finish that typifies his style, and there's Craig Groe's abstract melanges of line, form and color that in "Yellow Marque" lend a sense of voyeurism and evasiveness.
In sculpture, there's David Hyduke's twisting, pulsing, undulating steel sculpture "Emergence" as well as Dennis Mellner's exquisitely detailed wood carving of Santa Claus.
Though five juror-selected Awards of Excellence will be distributed during Saturday's opening reception, I've compiled a few more of the pieces that caught my eyes (in no particular order):
-- "No Child," by Jon Knecht: Behind a wall of flecking and imperfect inorganic glass, a desolate image of blowing snow is interposed by the curious addition of an empty desk and chair, leading the viewer to wonder what has become of the student.
-- "Long Prairie Saturday Night" by Gwen Ruff: In this watercolor by the Gibbon author and painter (one of three Ruff paintings selected for the exhibit), Ruff achieves an extraordinarily dark color palette that highlights both the warmth and isolation of a deserted main street in her hometown: "It's a little bittersweet," she said.
-- "Laundry Baskets," by Rachel Compart: In a pair of abstract works, the Minnesota State University master's student grounds the struggle between chaos and control in routine, domestic existence: "Everyday life is what moves me emotionally and makes me think and do things and keep going."

Well, this series is certainly off to a good start. That was some well-played, entertaining hockey this afternoon at Verizon Center. There were plenty of big hits, big saves and momentum shifts that were highlight-quality material.
Three big reasons why the Washington Capitals are up 1-0 in this series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
1) Simeon Varlamov: Marc-Andre Fleury was OK in net for Pittsburgh, but Varlamov was better. He gave up one bad goal, but given the way the 21-year-old rookie responded to it, the Caps aren't complaining.
"That goal was just my mistake. That's all," Varlamov said. "Games like this, you shouldn't be hard on yourself. Even after you allow a softie, you don't have the right to be upset too much."
His save on Sidney Crosby will be shown on sports highlight shows across the continent tonight, but he also made a few other great ones.
This was a lot more offensive pressure than the Rangers applied. The Caps defense corps did a nice job of limiting second chances and snuffing out attempted one-timers near the crease, but they also got beat for some odd-man rushes.
2) The PK: Man, if New York's power play was dysfunctional, Pittsburgh's wasn't much better. The Caps penalty killers did a great job of creating havoc when the Penguins tried to set up.
After going 25-for-27 in the last six games of the Rangers series, the Caps were perfect this afternoon. If they yield six shots for every five power plays the Penguins have in this series, the Caps are going to win more than they lose.
At the other end, the Caps had only two extra-man chances, but they formed a 5-on-3 and they took advantage.
3) Sidney Crosby: Sure, Varlamov made a save for the ages on Crosby, but he's got to put that puck somewhere else. Along the ice and dead center was the only place Varlamov was going to be able to get to it.
It goes beyond that one shot though. Crosby had several great scoring chances today. He missed the net twice, he fumbled a potential breakaway.
Maybe it is being too hard on him (on the other hand Ovechkin also had a bunch of great chances and only scored one) but Crosby had most of the really great chances for the Penguins and could have had more.
Here are some other quick notes:
* Varlamov has now tied the franchise record for consecutive wins in the playoffs with four. He also leads the league in GAA (1.29) and his .950 save percentage is just shy of Jonas Hiller and Roberto Luongo at .951
* The third line was really good together again today. David Steckel's goal was a big one, because the Penguins were setting the pace for most of the opening period.
"We didn't play well the first 10 minutes. Only one line played well – Steckel, Matt Bradley and Brooks Laich. They scored a goal and give life to the bench. Then we started to move our legs and make [them take] penalties."
* Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Semin were all pretty good to great today. Crosby was everywhere. Evgeni Malkin … well, there is always Game 2.
* This defense-first version of Mike Green can also be pretty darn good.
* Washington is now 7-1 in series openers against Pittsburgh.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg, boys," Brooks Laich said. "We realize they are a very good hockey team. They are who we thought they were. They're very deep, they play hard, they play aggressive and they're going to be tough to beat."

In the ever growing application market, its hard to find just one application to perform a specific task. Wheres My Phone is an application similar to SmrtGuard in that it locates and helps to recover your lost BlackBerry Smartphone. By simply sending an email containing a command you can remotely trigger an alarm (even if your device is on silent), turn off the alarm, check your battery, have your device report your GPS location, and even call you back to possibly hear where your device might be located. Your BlackBerry will also display your contact info so that once it is found, the finder can contact you easily (a preset password will need to be entered to unlock device). This is a good application for those who want to protect their precious Berry. It has a leg up on the competition with its one time fee (no monthly/annual dues), but does lack in features when compared to SmrtGuard. Wheres My Phone can be purchased at the CrackBerry App Store for $3.99 and is compatible with all devices running OS 4.2 and up.
Berrydale Dec 23, 2009 at 1:11 pm
With no subscription fees and only a one time purchase of $3.99, this app is nearly free.
Many of the apps these days actually end up being rather costly by the time all of the subscription fees are added up. I always look for something to do the job without adding more drain on the monthly budget.
Thanks for the write-up, Adam. I'll be checking into this one further.
Shay D. Life Dec 23, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I used this app during it's beta session and I have to say it works perfect, sending commands to the device via email is a great feature and even better was being sent the gps location that you can view on either bing or google maps. Well worth the price.
Nyce22 Dec 23, 2009 at 1:38 pm
What a great app! It works like a charm! And no monthly fees! wow! I recommend. Small footprint too.
Delrahim69 Dec 23, 2009 at 2:06 pm
this is a great app! will it work on "Boostberry's"??
says requires BIS or BES email account on the BB. Besides that any BB with 4.2.1 or higher w/ trackball, trackpad or touch screen.
Can someone please let me know if it will work with Boostberry? I use shangmail to have email pushed to phone.
VERY COOL! I always like these types of apps.
Syco54645 Dec 23, 2009 at 2:50 pm
awesome! after my free smrtguard is up i will be converting!
noble.chris Dec 23, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Excellent app!!! I just bought it and had a play. I love how you can get it to call you or email the gps location!
It was so accurate that it gave my house number!! Installed on my Blackberry Bold 9700.
HollyDolly Dec 23, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I've read users's reviews about this app, saying it locks up their phones. Anyone who's using it, please post about your experience, as I'd like (as I'm sure many would) to avoid yet another phone-bricking experience.
Flightless_Bird Dec 23, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I downloaded the free version from Crackberry several hours ago and have not had any problems as of yet (Storm 1). I was worried about leaks since it runs in the background, but I am still at 30.6mb. So far, so good.
1magine Dec 23, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Nice Ap. Very small footprint. very Cheap for what it does. 1 GLARING DEFICIENCY. It can not turn the GPS on. So you must either leave it on all the time or lose that functionality. That's alot of lost battery life. Several small tweaks need to be made. device holder should have no control of device other than to pull the battery. They should not be able to end the call made remotely. And remote owner should be able to put device in lock/sleep and wake. Don't know if its even possible to give remote ability to turn on or off device, but that would be most helpful.Either way, any solution not directly tied to a device PIN is probably not going to help. Too easy to plug in, wipe and unlock to another network. I may just risk the $50 Assurian replacement cost. Or maybe just keep for when I leave it laying around the house. LOL
Dendrite Dec 23, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Tried the free version to see if the GPS location function would work with my 8330. Unfortunately the response was "Sorry, GPS location is not supported on this phone. (GPS error code LP000)"
I'll definately look this app up again once I (hopefully soon) pick up the Tour 2 I'm in line for-
tange1 Dec 23, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I had the same GPS issue w/ my tour untill I changed the GPS services settings from E911 only to location on.
renyard87 Dec 24, 2009 at 6:47 am
This is an excellent little app if you're a forgetful so and so. With regards to the 'locked phone', I used the free trial and when you send the email to start the process it locks your phone with the red screen. After sending the 'stop' email nothing really happened. I did an actual battery pull and everything was back to normal. Hope that help!
gerry702 Dec 24, 2009 at 7:55 am
great app, i used the smrtguard, but with this i like the one time fee
Padgoi Dec 24, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Used the free version, sent the Start email and the red screen popped up as it was supposed to and the sound played.
When I sent the Stop email, the screen remained locked int he red screen, wouldn't exit at all. Had to do a battery pull to get out of the red screen.
You'd think they'd get the free version working properly before advertising the paid version.
YITBOS7 Dec 28, 2009 at 12:42 am
Looks good -- and not as bloated as Smrtguard (SmrtGuard got annoying after a while).

Hi all -
Just wanted to announce that we have released a new public Beta for version 2.4 of Where's My Phone. (This follows the initial release of 2.2, and later release of 2.3).
Version 2.3 added quite a few fixes and enhancements requested after the initial release (addressing some of the above comments).
Beta version 2.4 includes a smaller number of enhancements, but one major one - SMS support. If you're interested in giving it a try, check out www.essare.net/beta.
It's beta software, so expect a few rough edges until we get it fine tuned for release. Early testing has been positive though.

CCR601 Jun 8, 2010 at 12:42 am
My wife misplaced her phone this week and we were able to find it in the middle of the field at eleven o'clock at night thanks to its very loud ring tone. Even with her phone password lock and the ringer on vibrate it stills ring loudly!! I see us using this App for a very long time.

As Republican U.S. Senate candidates Tommy Thompson and Eric Hovde , a conservative political action committee Friday launched an ad campaign attacking the two frontrunners.
The Washington, D.C.-based Club For Growth PAC, which has endorsed Mark Neumann in the Senate race, is airing a 30-second ad that portrays Thompson as a tax-happy former governor and says that Hovde is "Only Worse," the ad's namesake.
According to the TV spot, Thompson advocated nine tax hikes in his time as Wisconsin governor, and Hovde "supported tax-raising governor Jim Doyle."
This ad campaign comes days after shows Thompson and Hovde at the top of the four-man field for the Aug. 14 primary and Neumann being backed with 10 percent of those survey.
After the poll was released, Neumann sent a , saying "If the election were held today, we'd lose."
- Related: Watch the Club for Growth ad here
In a pre-emptive email to supporters late Thursday night, Thompson touted his job-creating record as governor and campaign goals. He also turned the tables on the PAC, calling its "reputation" into question:
"The National Club for Growth is also a group that was fined $350,000 for their underhanded campaign tactics," he said in the email. "The National Club for Growth has a reputation, and it's not one to be proud of."
In a press release titled "Neumann's Attack Dogs Go Negative" Friday morning, the Thompson campaign again lashed out at Club for Growth, claiming that Thompson cut taxes 91 times.
The release quoted Darrin Schmitz, a consultant for the Thompson campaign:
Mark Neumann should be ashamed of himself. He ran an ugly and deceitful campaign against Scott Walker and now his attack dogs are grossly distorting Tommy Thompson's record. Tommy Thompson cut taxes 91 times during his tenure including three income tax cuts, the largest property tax cut in the history of the state and he eliminated the inheritance tax. Wisconsin's overall tax burden went down and the state experienced record job growth due to Thompson aggressive tax cuts.
The Hovde campaign responded in a similar fashion, and even though Club for Growth sponsored the ad, Hovde's side called out Neumann for dirty campaign tactics and going after Thompson as well:
Mark ran a negative and nasty campaign against Governor Scott Walker in 2010, and he's at it again now that he's polling in the low-teens and single digits in Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race. ... Tommy Thompson is a career politician and corporate lobbyist who increased state spending by 118 percent, raised taxes and fees by millions of dollars and increased our debt by $2 billion in just five years as governor. Then, Governor Thompson got rich quick as a corporate lobbyist by profiting off his time in office.
In a statement to Patch Friday, Chip Englander, campaign manager for the Neumann campaign, said the attack ads were not a part of the Neumann campaign.
"We are legally prohibited from communicating with the Club for Growth," Englander said. This legal provision was part of the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision. "We were unaware of the ad's content before we saw it on TV."
Englander added that Neumann is the "proven conservative in the race."
A Club for Growth spokesperson told The Hill Friday that the attacks can be expected for a while, calling their ad purchase "massive."
"Club members believe in supporting principled, limited-government candidates. We don't have any problem with backing underdogs," the spokesperson said.
The Hill also reported that the group has not disclosed how much it spent on the ad campaign.

Bouli Lanners,
84 mins,
French with English Subtitles.
Courtesy: Palace Films.
Play Trailer
Actor/Director Bouli Lanners returns with a stunning big screen fairytale that boasts some very modern twists!
Set over the course of a long languid summer, teenage brothers Zak and Seth have been left to fend for themselves in a small mountain town.
Penniless and bored, they befriend local boy Dany and together they smoke weed, goof off, ride the river and conjure plans to combat their fraught financial situation. The resulting action comes complete with a big bad (drug-dealing) wolf, piano-playing fairy godmother, and one of the most entertaining food fights you'll see all year.
Drawing obvious parallels to Stand By Me, Lanners' take on the American coming of age teen flick isn't all sentimentality and naff jokes. The characters (drawn beautifully by his talented teen actors) are astutely crafted, which makes their efforts to negotiate the adult world and each other all the more heartrending.

By Joseph Hamrick
The Commerce Journal
Do you remember career day at school?
The top three choices were always astronaut, police officer or firefighter.
I never really wanted to become an astronaut because I've seen "Alien" too many times. In space, no one can hear you scream.
So it was always a toss-up when it came to an officer or a firefighter.
I never could decide whether I wanted to carry a gun and shoot bad guys or wield an axe and save damsels in distress from fires.
Well, last Monday I got to work at one of those dream jobs for a day and actually had the chance to fight a fire.
6 a.m. Monday. Woke up, got my clothes on and stepped out the door to drive to the Commerce Fire Department to talk to Fire Chief Jack Berni to begin my day.
I got there just at the changing of the shifts, in time to hear the colorful jokes and to smell breakfast cooking.
When I talked with Berni, he told me one thing is definite when I am shadowing. And that was that I would eat well.
That I did. Bacon, sausage, eggs and buscuits, just to name a few.
The department has a TV in the dining area, which was tuned in to the recent tragedy in Arizona where 19 firefighters lost their lives in a forest fire.
Everyone went silent as Josh Cato said a prayer before we ate.
He prayed for the food and for the Lord to be with the friends and family of the firefighters lost.
After breakfast, we began our day.
Every morning consists of going through every vehicle in the department to make sure it works and is in the place it needs to be. Everything from headsets and lights, to chainsaws and pumps on the brush trucks were checked and double checked.
Better to be safe than sorry.
I went out on Engine 6 with Gabe Wittkopf and Cameron Foster to check on the water pressure of the fire hydrant's across town. Then we went out on a building inspection for fire safety.
After that the morning went by with not much happening.
And by not much, I mean nothing.
Some of the firefighters were joking about how slow it was. They said my entire article would be about how all the department does is eat and sleep, and that I would recommend the Commerce City Council to promptly cut their funding.
That didn't last long.
We got a call about a controlled burn at the Commerce Wastewater Treatment and Solid Waste facility off of Farm Road 3218 that was in small danger of getting out of hand.
After talking with the workers about the burn, they told us they would keep an eye on it and let us know if it got out of hand.
It got out of hand.
Just before I was about to leave for lunch we got a call from the facility again telling us it was now an uncontrolled burn.
I got in the brush truck with Cato. Gabe and Cameron followed close behind. Our sirens blaring, lights flashing and cars pulling over to let us by. This was going to be fun.
We got there and after surveying everything, found out there were two heads to the fire.
Since this was at the waste facility, the smell was atrocious and the smoke was so bad it was hard to see right in front of you at times.
Following Cato through the blackened grass to reach the first head felt much like the scene from "We Were Soldiers" where Mel Gibson was calmly walking through the burned out area all calm, cool and collected. That was cool.
The fire was very slow moving so it gave us ample time to come up with a plan. Since the fire wasn't heading toward the facility fast, there wasn't any immediate danger to the area.
And most of the flames were next to the burms, so we had easy maneuverability around the area, except when I fell straight on my back while attempting to slide into the burm.
Cato decided we would wait until the fire got fairly close to the fence surrounding the perimeter of the facility before we put that part out.
One of the dangers of grass and wilderness fires are snakes escaping from the flames. Thankfully, the only snakes we found were already dead, because if we found any that were alive, I would be out of there in a heartbeat. I hate snakes. It's one of the many things Indiana Jones and I have in common.
I followed Cato around most of the time, and he let me get up close and personal with the fire.
They let me use the fire hose and a tool called "The Flapper" to put out the small flames surrounding the head of the fire.
I've been in a house fire before, my parents' house caught on fire Christmas Eve a few years ago (even with that, it was a good Christmas), so I know how hot a blazing fire can get. But that was only a few minutes. This fire lasted nearly three hours; couple that with the blazing sun and wearing pure cotton long-sleeved shirt, it was hot.
I went through about five bottles of water and three bottles of gatorade.
We got the fire contained and drove around the five-acre perimeter, giving the area one last look to make sure it wouldn't spread from the burn pile any more before driving back to the facility and updating the workers on the situation.
The fire was dubbed "The Wasteland Fire."
Soon after we returned we got another call about a tree fire in a field on the corner of Spruce and Division Streets.
We drove out to the scene to find a lone tree in a field, smoldering.
Gabe put it out while Cameron cut it down with a chainsaw and Cato and I dragged the limbs away.
That fire was dubbed "The Hamrick Tree Fire."
I got a fire named after me. That was cool.
That morning while we filled the trucks up with diesel, Cameron told me he trusted his life to the men on shift C.
After working with them for just one day, I concur with him.
Commerce is in good hands. This is a top notch crew.

The Greater Valdosta United Way is preparing for a busy week that will hopefully kick off a bountiful year for regional service organizations.
On Friday morning, Aug. 23, organizers kick off this year's United Way campaign with the annual Day of Caring, again with the Amazing Race theme. Then, on Saturday evening, Aug. 24, the United Way celebrates the new campaign with its second annual prom.
For the prom, participants are asked to wear styles from their high school prom era. So, if you graduated high school in the 1980s, for example, you can again rent that lime-green tux, or go for the big-hair look.
The prom also features a king and queen. Anyone can vote for the king and queen by making a donation in the nominee's name to the Greater Valdosta United Way. Votes may be cast by visiting the website unitedwayvaldosta.org
This year's candidates are Jimmy Miller, Justin Martin, Michael Anderson, Shawn Panizzi, Ashley Henderson, and Jodi McSwain for prom king; Amanda Peacock, Emily Macheski-Preston, Heather Ferguson, Michelle Hogan, Terri Ball, and Theresa Johnson for queen.
The individuals receiving the most votes by monetary donations are elected prom queen and king.
There's even a prom theme: The Arabian Nights, with all of the crepe paper and other items one may remember from past high school proms decorating the second floor of Downtown Valdosta's City Market. Lloyd Carter serves as the evening's DJ.
The United Way prom is intended to be a fun, informal-formal as well as a fundraiser, say Bobby Yarbrough, Greater Valdosta United Way executive director, and Jacqueline Lilly, public relations and special events director.
Daniel Folsom, a United Way board member, had the idea two years ago to throw a prom to support the organization.
Last year, dozens of couples attended. Organizers also stress that this prom is welcome fun for individuals or groups of friends who want to go stag and come without a date.
The Day of Caring will have teams moving from various United Way-recipient sites, playing games while being introduced to each location's offered services. "The Amazing Race" style introduces participants to several area United Way service organizations.
The event starts in the early morning Friday and lasts till all teams return which is normally by noon.
United Way Events
Friday morning, Aug. 23.
Various locations throughout the region.
When: 7 p.m., Aug. 24.
Where: City Market, 101 N. Patterson St.
Ticket: $75 per couple; $40, single.
Silent auction donations are still being accepted.
More information and to vote for prom queen and king, visit unitedwayvaldosta.org or call (229) 242-2208.

Cairo-- Property taxes in Grady County may be on the rise.
Grady County commissioners have tentatively agreed to raise the rate to 10.752 mills, 7.63 percent above the rollback. That would mean almost $100.00 more in property taxes per year on a $100,000.00 dollar home.
Officials say the increase would help pay for, among other things, much needed remapping of the county.
Three public hearings will be held on the tax increase next Thursday and August 18th.

DYERSVILLE — Coming off back-to-back 42-7 victories, Dyersville Beckman equaled that combined scoring output Friday as it ran its winning streak to five games with an 84-20 win against Northeast in Class 2A District 4 high school football.
The Trailblazers (6-2, 4-1 district) had three long returns for touchdowns. Grant Hammann brought a kickoff back 88 yards for a score, while Mitch Steger matched that distance with an interception return and Tyler Hirsch brought another interception back 37 yards.
Hammann had a big night on offense, too. He rushed for 100 yards on seven carries, three of them for touchdowns, and completed 4 of 5 passes for 104 yards. Hirsch added 96 yards on the ground for Beckman, which ran for 526 yards on 42 attempts.
The Blazers have scored more than 40 points in five of their six wins and have been held below 29 points in just one of their eight games.
No information from Northeast (1-7, 1-4) was submitted.
Camanche falls
MOUNT VERNON — Mitch McElroy threw a pair of touchdown passes Friday in Camanche's 53-12 loss to Mount Vernon in Class 2A District 4 football.
McElroy connected with Derek Harksen for a 72-yard touchdown toss and combined with Brady Beal for a 25-yard scoring play for the Indians (1-7), who wound up winless in six district games.
McElroy completed 10 of 25 passes for 190 yards but threw five interceptions. Mount Vernon limited the Indians to minus-18 yards rushing.
Mike Morris was the tackles leader for Camanche with seven solos and two assists. Layne Dean added six, all solos.
CHS sophomores fall
RIVERDALE — Coach Mike Griswold was pleased with the performance despite Clinton's 28-14 loss to Pleasant Valley in sophomore football Friday.
"Tonight was probably our best game of the year," Griswold said. "We came out ready to play and took advantage of some early PV turnovers. Our defense was very good all night, just giving up a few big plays that would end up putting us in too deep of a hole to dig ourselves out of."

UPDATE: Three bobcats are roaming La Crescenta while authorities aim to push them out, according to Sheriff's Sgt. Gary Ogurek of the Crescenta Valley Station.
"We understand it's been three," Ogurek said. "They were on Pineridge, in the backyard of a resident's home. It's the area of La Crescenta where it says the sign 'Warning mountain lions have been seen in the area.'"
"The [bobcats] have been up there since the people have been up there..., Ogurek said. "Just keep pets inside and don't let children go outside. You just have to be cautious. They are a predator."
7:13 p.m. Tuesday: Officials are using a helicopter to scare away bobcats wandering a La Crescenta neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The call came in about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday near Pineridge Drive and Rosemont Avenue, said Deputy Rachel Whittendurg of the Crescenta Valley Station.

Giovan Francesco Gessi - inv. 1053
Giovan Francesco Gessi (1588-1649)
The Virgin and Child with Saint Anthony of Padua
12 x 10 cm
1879 bequest Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli
Inv. 1053
not on display
Go to:
Go to:
The Virgin is tenderly holding the Child, seated on a cushion, and Saint Anthony of Padua, recognisable by the large lily. The saint is about to kiss the Redeemer's foot, while He leans forward to touch the saint's head, blessing him. The brilliant colours, although slightly darkened with time, emphasise the dense pictorial quality of the work. The intimate nature of the composition is well fitting an image for private worship of the Paduan saint. The painting dates to the first half of the 1630s.
Here, despite the small format, Gessi shows himself to be a worthy follower of his master, Guido Reni.

American Foxhound
Height: Male 22 – 25″ & Female 21 – 24″
Weight: Male 45 – 65 lb lbs & Female 40 – 60 lb
Coat: American Foxhounds have a medium-length coat that lies close to the body and has a hard texture, protecting the hound from brush and briars in the field. American Foxhounds have a close, hard, hound coat of medium length. Defects–A short thin coat, or of a soft quality.
Color: The coat comes in various colors. Any tri-color with a saddle being the most common.
Appearance: Clearly athletic dog of stamina with sleek lines that are not overly refined. The legs of a Foxhound are very long and straight-boned. The foxhound's chest is rather narrow. It has a long muzzle, and a large, domed skull. The dog is a Virginia Common pet. The ears are wide and low-set. The eyes are hazel or brown, and are large and wide-set. The coat is short and harsh. Overall, they are very similar to the Beagle, only standing higher and being larger. Their coats come in four colors: red, tri, black and tan, and blue.
Temperament: A true hunting dog, the American Foxhound is happiest in the field and on the trail. With its powerful sense of smell, this dog is easily distracted by various scents, and once it has decided to follow one you will have a difficult time calling it off. The breed hunts with the passion of a warrior, but is gentle, affectionate, and great with children in the home. With regard to strangers, the American Foxhound's temperament can vary tremendously. Some dogs act in an extremely protective or guard-like manner while others will eagerly embrace an outsider. The American Foxhound has a long history of hunting in packs, and therefore gets along exceptionally well with other dogs; it also tends to be good with pets. This dog will bay and howl, and city living is therefore not recommended.
Health: The Life expectancy for an American Foxhound is about 10-13 years. This breed is not generally a breed that carries genetic disorders. Overfeeding these dogs can easily cause them to gain weight. A minor health risk in American Foxhounds is thrombocytopathy, or platelet disease. While dysplasia was largely unknown in Foxhounds, it is beginning to crop up occasionally, along with some eye issues. It is not typical or customary for Foxhound breeders to screen for any hereditary disorders at this time. The American Foxhound is an energetic breed. According to some veterinarians and trainers, it needs plenty of exercise, for example, a fairly long walk followed by a game of fetch.
Washington's home state, Virginia, claims the American Foxhound as its official state animal.
American Foxhounds are featured in the novel, The Hunter's Horn by Harriette Simpson Arnow.
