text: Capital Markets Outlook: Low Rates, More Lenders in 2013By Brad Berton While rent hikes in 2013 probably won't match the robust rates seen the past couple years, rock-bottom debt pricing should continue unabated in 2013. Given the Fed's commitment to prevailing monetary policies, the low-rate environment won't retreat any time soon–the federal budget's looming fiscal cliff notwithstanding. Meanwhile the budding re-emergence of Wall Street conduits should help keep other conventional apartment lenders quoting tight spreads, multifamily finance pros agree."Any concern we may have about higher (interest) rates or wider (apartment) spreads would be beyond 2013," relates Matthew Rocco, national production manager with Grandbridge Real Estate Capital. "So we may see one of the best years ever in terms of debt costs and availability."Indeed, 2013 promises a continuing borrower bonanza with permanent, bridge and construction quotes usually coming in below 4 percent.Rocco and others do caution that certain underwriting policies may tighten up a bit at as single-family homes–and the active construction pipeline–absorb some of the resilient renter demand. For instance stalwarts Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are already becoming somewhat more restrictive with early-term interest-only periods than they were just a few months back, observes Phillip Wintner, CFO at Kennedy Wilson Multifamily.Wintner notes that 10-year fixed deals from the GSEs tend to be in the 3.5 percent vicinity at higher leverage, with tighter spreads available at more conservative loan to value ratios. And Fannie's magnetic adjustable program is proving particularly attractive, floating in the "low-200s" basis point (bp) range over Libor.Meanwhile, life companies are quoting fixed-rate deals in the high-2, low-3 percent range for five- and 10-year transactions, "very competitive" with Fannie and Freddie at the 65 to 75 percent loan to value (LTV) level, according to Jeffrey Erxleben, senior vice president with NorthMarq Capital.And as balance-sheet lenders, they can inherently be more flexible customizing key terms than agencies or conduits selling into securitizations–such as prepayment penalty schedules and term lengths.Prevailing CMBS bond-buyer demands going into 2013 leave conduit lenders with a distinct pricing disadvantage relative to Fannie, Freddie, the FHA and life companies, with coupons now generally in the mid-4 percent range, Erxleben adds. Hence in addition to their generally greater willingness to play secondary and tertiary markets and loan against lesser-quality collateral, they compete through higher leverage often running to 85 percent LTV, along with faster closings.And local and regional banks can also be quite competitive these days in the permanent multifamily mortgage arena with five-year fixed-rate transactions–and even 10-year deals at institutions comfortable holding paper that long, Erxleben relates.Logically, banks rank among leading players in bridge lending, typically quoting floating rates in the mid-200 bp range over Libor, Erxleben notes. Non-bank financial institutions will also be active in this product, generally quoting floaters at 250 to 300 bps over Libor, with leverage limits typically amounting to 80 percent of cost with an exit target of 75 percent of the post-improvement value, adds Rocco.On the construction debt front, bank rates in the coming year seem likely to float in the "low-200s" over Libor, with proceeds typically running to 80 percent of expected costs, Rocco specifies.

To All Derby LoversI have had to make some very difficult decisions for priorities for the upcoming year. This included which projects I will still continue to operate and what needs to be discontinued.
As many of you know, I was very deeply involved in the creation of the Low Power FM radio service. This is a special FM radio service that involves the use of very low power radio stations that are operated by non-profit organizations to broadcast to their local communities. In the Phoenix area, KWSS-LP on 93.9 is one of those stations. In fact, I have been involved with both helping get KWSS to originally obtain their license and their recent move from 106.7 to 93.9 FM.
As of this writing on November 1, 2013, we are currently in the middle of a new LPFM station filing window where thousands of applications from across the nation are expected to be received and based on my experiences during the filing windows around 2000, I am going to be very busy. This is in addition to my real job as well as my personal life and somewhere in there, I also need to throw in a few hours of sleep.
With that said, I have had to make the difficult decision to discontinue derbydata.com and pretty much everything related to the Michi-chan franchise where it comes to roller derby.
Since my move from the Phoenix area in 2009, it has been getting more and more difficult to keep up on the happenings on the Arizona derby scene and other than scores, I truly can not provide any objective reporting on the subject. Since 2009, I have been very dependent on some people (and actually in some cases having to annoy people) to get the scores. Unfortunately, the leagues are still lacking at times where it comes to reporting final scores. Some leagues are better than the others.
Before any rumors start, I just want to be clear that there was no single incident or multiple incidents that made me reach this decision. I mean it. This is simply due to my inability to dedicate the time necessary to maintain the score data and the Arizona Power Rankings.
I am not going to destroy any of the data associated with derbydata as there is a lot of good archive information that did take some considerable research to compile. I will eventually make the archive data available through another source when time permits.
Over the years, I have had my good times and my bad times with this sport but along the way, I have met a lot of folks who have been supportive of what I was doing. I would like to take a moment to thank some of those folks including Dan The Plumber, (from AZDD) Rowdy Roulette and Red Rocker, (from AZRD) Psycho Sybil, (from AZRG) Suzy Homewrecker and Vintage Vixen, (from DDRD) Evol Starr and Rue Bea Rockett, (from TRD) everyone!!, (from AZ RRG) Hellbent Heather, (from Men's Derby) Space Case and (from NAzRD) Holly Ween. This is just a partial list of all of those who helped the Michi do her magic back in the golden days.
Arizona still has some of the most diverse roller derby in all of America and you should be proud of it. Please continue to support all of the local leagues, even if they play differently than you do. No matter what, please continue to support junior roller derby and make sure the derby stars of tomorrow get their first chance today. Please also continue to assure that access to opportunities in leagues (both skating and non-skating) are available to all, regardless of orientation, gender or gender identity.
Again, I say thank you Arizona for letting me share some great moments with you. Just know if I am ever in Phoenix on a Saturday night, you may never know when I may end up at a bout and perhaps, I may be wearing red plaid!
Please remember, SKATE HARD, SKATE SAFE, DERBY LOVE..
p.s. The derbydata.com domain is for sale. I feel that this domain can be used for one of different commercial purposes that involve different kinds of events that use the word "derby" (or perhaps Derby, England). I will be accepting serious offers with no offer less than $1,000 considered. Please visit REC Networks and leave your contact information.
Again.. thank you for your understanding.

The final event of the PGA season will feature the top two players on the money list, both with a chance to claim the season-long title. Webb Simpson heads into the 2011 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic with a lead of $363,029 over No. 2 Luke Donald.
Simpson's lead is not entirely insurmountable. Donald can take the money title by winning the event and having Simpson finish no better than a tie for second. If Donald fails to win, Simpson would be assured of the money title as long as he finishes no worse than a three-way tie for seventh or by himself in eighth.
There are plenty of other golfers in the field that could throw a wrench into things. Also playing in the event are Justin Rose (ranked No. 17 in the world), Gary Woodland (No. 42 in the world), Gary Woodland (No. 18 on money list), Charles Howell III (No. 25 on money list) and Spencer Levin (No. 33 on money list) are just some of the other players that are in the field.

ARLINGTON -- Clark Murphy, the Rangers' Minor League first baseman who took over two months off to care for his brother who was in a car crash, made his return to baseball on Monday, playing for the Rangers' Arizona Rookie League squad.Conrad, Clark's brother, was hit by an 18-wheeler while he was driving home from baseball practice. Murphy said in late June that he was hoping to return at some point this year, if his brother made significant progress. "He's walking with a cane, and talking in full sentences," Murphy said. "He's got a long road ahead, but he's still made a lot of progress already. Hopefully he'll keep being stubborn and makes a lot of progress, hopefully towards a full recovery." Murphy said he was feeling the pull to return to baseball as early as June. With his brother walking and making solid improvement, Murphy felt it was the right time to return to the playing field now. The Rangers made it clear that he could take until next Spring Training if he and his family felt that was necessary. "It was a blessing to be back," Clark said. "It was just awesome to be out on the field again." Murphy made the return memorable, as he hit a home run on his first swing in the game. "The first swing I took since I came back, I hit one out," Murphy said. "I definitely surprised myself, but I did it for my brother."
Beltre hoping to return in two weeks
ARLINGTON -- Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre said Monday he is hopeful that he will be off the disabled list in a minimum of 15 days.Manager Ron Washington is not so sure. "I hope he is a quick healer, and I hope he gets right," Washington said. "We're not taking any chances in getting him back here before he is right." Beltre suffered a strained left hamstring on Friday night against the Blue Jays and was placed on the DL on Saturday. "It's exactly the same injury that [Julio] Borbon had and he came back in three weeks," Beltre said. "I'm a quick healer, I'm hoping to come back in two weeks." Beltre was hitting .276 with 20 home runs when he was hurt and he was second in the league with 76 RBIs. He was also hitting .330 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs in his last 24 games. "I was getting into a groove offensively and playing better defensively," Beltre said. "I'm bummed out this happened. But the doctor said it could have been worse. I'm thankful it's not two or three months and just two to three weeks."

ARLINGTON -- On Monday, Michael Young and his wife, Cristina Barbosa, announced the establishment of Young's new charity, the Michael Young Family Foundation.Despite being active in community work, Young had never had his own foundation, instead giving his time to existing charities. "Starting this foundation is something Michael and I have been talking about for years," Barbosa said. "The mission of this foundation is to improve children's health. Whether it's physical, social, mental or educational, it gives us greater flexibility to impact children's lives on a broader scale." The first event for the foundation will be the Celebrity BaseBOWL Tournament, which will take place after the Rangers game on Sept. 11 at 300 Dallas Bowling Lanes. "Cristina and I couldn't be more excited about creating our own foundation," Young said. "We've always felt it's important to give back to the community, and now we have the ability to take it to the next level, starting with our bowling tournament." The Young family's charitable endeavors includes Wipe Out Kids Cancer Ambassador Program and the Young Heroes Scholarship Program.
Worth noting
The Rangers were shut out on Sunday for the first time at home since Aug. 28, 2010. Reliever Darren O'Day pitched another scoreless inning for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and has not allowed a run in five innings since being optioned at the All-Star break. Class A Hickory shortstop Jurickson Profar is hitting .361 with 10 doubles, two home runs and 17 RBIs over 18 games in July.
The Rangers have signed first baseman/outfielder Val Majewski, 30, and assigned him to Round Rock. He began this season with York in the independent Atlantic League, batting .317 with 11 homers, 48 RBIs and 63 runs over 71 games, landing a spot in the circuit's all-star game on July 13. He played nine games with the Orioles in 2004, going 2-for-13 with a double, RBI and run scored.
The Rangers honored former outfielder Oddibe McDowell before Monday's game against the Twins. The Rangers recognized him for being inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame on July 6. McDowell, who played at Arizona State, was the Rangers' No. 1 pick in the 1984 Draft and played for them from 1985-89.

In addition to governor, state treasurer, United States senator, U.S. House of Representatives, state senator, state representative and seven state measures, Columbia County voters are being asked to decide on two countywide measures.
Measure No. 5-206 would make county commissioner positions non-partisan beginning in 2012. Measure No. 5-208 is a veterans services levy which would collect 3.5 cents per $1,000 of valuation.
Three candidates are running for Columbia County commission position 2 – Henry Heimuller, Democrat; Terry Luttrell, Republican, and Wayne Mayo, non-affiliated.
For the Clatskanie city council, Mayor Diane Pohl is unopposed for re-election, and four men are running for three open seats on the council – incumbents Ron Puzey and Toby Harris, and newcomers to city politics, Travis Zea and Dennis Short. The top three vote-getters will be elected.
For the city of Rainier, current Councilor Judith Taylor is challenging incumbent Mayor Jerry Cole.
Hank Bartholomew is running for Taylor's position 5 against David Langford, who currently holds position 1 on the council. Scott Cooper is running unopposed for positon 1 and William Vilardi is unopposed for position 6, currently held by Vernae Christophersen, who did not file for election. Incumbents Russ Moon and Sloan Nelson are unopposed for positions 3 and 4, respectively.
Ballots which have not been mailed by late this week, should be dropped off at several locations around the county including the Clatskanie Library, Rainier City Hall, Vernonia Library, Mist-Birkenfeld Rural Fire Protection District main station, and the Columbia County Courthouse. The drop off sites are open during regular business hours, except on election day, Nov. 2, when they are open until 8 p.m.
The Columbia County elections department, normally open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day. There is also a drive-by ballot drop box in the lower parking lot at the courthouse in St. Helens that will be available until 8 p.m. on Nov. 2.
The ballots must be received at one of the drop-off sites or the county elections department by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2, in order to be counted. Ballots that have been mailed, but which have not arrived at the elections department by 8 p.m. on Tuesday will not be counted.

A year after its last public meeting in Clatskanie to discuss the $4 million Highway 30 paving and modernization project, planned to begin next spring, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) met Monday, Oct. 25, with a full house in the Cedar Room at the Clatskanie River Inn.
Area residents crowded in to view maps, talk to ODOT representatives, hear a report on the project and express their views.
During the formal part of the presentation, ODOT's Bill Jablonski explained that "the purpose of this project is to address safety, access management, and add left turn movements at Highway 30/Van Street to accommodate economic growth at Port Westward."
Those goals will be achieved, Jablonski said, by:
• Widening Highawy 30 at Van Street to accommodate a left-turn lane for eastbound/southbound traffic.
• Stripe a continuous left-turn lane on Highway 30 between Van Street and the Clatskanie River bridge.
• Pave and stripe a one-mile section of Highway 30 from the intersection with Highway 47 to the Swedetown overpass.
• Improve sidewalks along Highway 30 through the project area (Highway 47 to Swedetown overpass).
• Reconstruct the existing bicycle/pedestrian path along Highway 30 east of the Clatskanie River to meet ADA guidelines.
• Upgrade signage, drainage and guardrails in the project area.
• Align the access to Highway 30 at the Northwoods Inn Motel and the Eastside Plaza (Carla's Closet, Latte Da, etc.) to make it directly across from Van Street.
• Allow for one right-in/right-out access for the new Clatskanie PUD headquarters to Highway 30 with a dedicated, protected left turn lane onto Truhaak Street.
On the topic of the highway access for the PUD, several audience members expressed concern and confusion regarding what appears to be two current accesses on the highway at the new PUD headquarters construction site.
Clatskanie PUD general manager Greg Booth, who was unable to attend Monday's meeting, told The Chief Tuesday that only one highway access – the one to the east which was recently purchased from Wauna Federal Credit Union – will be used. He noted, however, that both that access and the original access to the property which is nearer the bridge, are deeded highway accesses. The PUD plans to use the access closest to the bridge only as a "fire lane" or emergency access. It will not be open for use by the public.
However, ODOT's Ron Kroup told The Chief that ODOT had not approved the emergency access.
Several members of the public also expressed disappointment that the project no longer included the replacement of the Clatskanie River bridge nor the Swedetown overpass.
ODOT representatives explained that a lack of funds was responsible for removing the bridge/overpass replacements from next year's project, but that it is hoped to return sometime in the future to do that work. The bridge replacement alone is expected to cost $12 to $15 million – three times the cost of the project planned for next year.
Next year's project also includes:
• The removal of one of Flowers N Fluff's highway accesses. However, the access from the parking lot to Conyers Street will be improved, ODOT engineers said.
• Installation of a traffic loop detector at the Nehalem and Highway 30 intersection that is designed to improve efficiency at the signal.
• Improving drainage at the west end of the project. ODOT worked with City of Clatskanie last summer to begin drainage improvements.
Inconvenience "Minimized"
Jablonski said that it is planned to have a contractor "on board" by January at which time a more detailed schedule will be available. The work will "most likely" start in the early spring.
"Although it is possible for most work on this project to be completed in one year, it is possible the contractor will work into 2012," Jablonski said.
Clatskanie City Manager Greg Hinkelman said that it was important to the city, its citizens and businesses that the project be completed in one season.
The contractor will most likely start working on sidewalks, utilities, drainage and highway widening before paving begins, Jablonski said.
"During the work, we will do our best to minimize inconvenience to you and those traveling through the area as we work in your backyard. We will do this by keeping all lanes open during peak travel times," he said.
All travel lanes east of Swedetown Road to the Clatskanie River Bridge will remain open during weekdays between 5:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Travel lanes between the Clatskanie River Bridge and Highway 47 will remain open Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
When lanes are closed during daytime work hours, one lane will remain open in each direction.
During the weekend, all lanes will remain open on Highway 30 during daytime hours. Lane closures will not take place on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Also, when the contractor is widening between Swedetown Road and the Clatskanie River bridge, the contractor will shift traffic and work in the shoulders so all travel lanes can remain open during the work, Jablonski said.
"We are not expecting significant delays during construction. Our project inspectors pay attention to traffic delays and, if needed, adjustments can be made to how we perform our traffic control to minimize delay."
Jablonski continued: "We understand people need to get to and from business while we're working. During construction, we make sure access is maintained to businesses. People should watch for business access detours, but detours will be signed and the contractor will work with business prior to setting up access detours."
Port Westward Access, Traffic Calming Discussed
During the discussion, George Poysky, owner of the property on the west side of Van Street, asked why so much emphasis had been placed on widening the street for Port Westward traffic.
"During World War II, we had 1200 troops at Beaver," the army ammunition depot that was formerly on the property which is now Port Westward, "and 200 civilian workers. They didn't come through town. Now there's less than 100 at Port Westward," Poysky pointed out.
He added that he built highways for a living and he believes "you've got a real bad design. The bridge should be replaced first."
In regard to the portions of the project aimed at improving access to Port Westward, ODOT's David Kim said: "One of the key focuses is to create jobs and to create jobs in this community. Port Westward is prime for development, and we need to be ready for any kind of industrial development out there. We want to position this community to take on any projects out at Port Westward…We don't want transportation to be a barrier to economic development."
Kris Lillich, the owner of businesses in the historic downtown Clatskanie area asked if ODOT was considering economic development in the downtown area. "We feel that the cars are just flying by. Can't you do something to slow down traffic" and encourage them to stop and shop in Clatskanie.
Kim explained that while "traffic calming" is not part of the current project, the city could apply for funds for enhancement projects that would give the highway through Clatskanie "more of a main street feel."
In regard to traffic calming, beautification, replacement of the bridge and overpass, "it's about what we've got money to do for the next step," said Kroup. "It's not finished. It's not like you'll never see us again. We'll be back, hopefully sooner rather than later, talking about the next phase."

Administrator and confidential employee contracts were approved by the Clatskanie School District board of directors at its meeting Monday, Oct. 25.
Following an executive session, the board unanimously approved three percent cost of living allowances (COLAs) for Clatskanie Middle/High School (CMHS) Principal Jeff Baughman, CMHS Vice Principal Annikke Olson, Clatskanie Elementary School (CES) Principal Yolanda Brackman, special education director Mary Mitchell, and finance manager Janine Salisbury.
COLAs of 3.5 percent were approved for district secretary Beth Gregg, food services director Roxane Wilcoxen, district maintenance Rex Nicholas, school bus supervisor Paul Simmons, and special education secretary Tami Burgher.
It was pointed out that the administrators and confidential employees had taken a salary freeze last year, and that their salaries are generally lower than comparable positions in other Oregon school districts of similar size.
The Clatskanie Education Association teachers' union received a four percent COLA last year and a step increase both this year and last year, plus their contract calls for a three percent COLA on the last month of the 2010-11 school year. The district's classified workers received a step increase last year but no COLA. This year they are getting a 3.8 percent COLA and freezing their salary steps.
However, all employees' salaries will be reduced by five unpaid furlough days at the end of the current school year. The furlough is planned to save costs.
Under the new salaries approved Monday, Baughman's salary will go from the current $75,000 to $77,250, but will be reduced because of the furlough to $75,533; Brackman's will go from $74,000 to $76,220, reduced by the furlough to $74,526; Mitchell will go from the current $75,042 to $77,293, reduced by the furlough to $75,453; Olson's will go from $65,000 (current) to $66,950 to $65,393 (because of furlough); Salisbury's from $62,983 to $64,872 to $63,624; Burgher (a part-time employee) will go from $6,993 to $7,237 to $7,056; Gregg's from $36,400 to $37,674 to $36,950; Nicholas' from $41,551 to $43,006 to $42,179; Simmons' from $48,402 to $50,096 to $49,132, and Wilcoxen's from $34,238 to $35,436 to $34,755.
Additionally, the board approved a $25 per month stipend for Simmons and Nicholas for the use of a personal cell phone to be on call for the school district.
The administrative and confidential raises will cost the district about $6600, Salisbury reported.
Funding, Local Option Levy Discussed
Currently, the district is projecting an ending fund balance of $524,827, but "things can change" Salisbury emphasized.
Superintendent Ed Serra reported that state school funding is expected to drop next year. "We're looking at $400,000 to $500,000 less."
What to do about the continuing shortfalls in state school funding was the topic of a work session preceding the regular meeting Monday.
Salisbury presented information – compiled with the assistance of Seattle Northwest, the district's general obligation bond issuance company – about the possibility of a local option levy that could raise an additional approximately $1 million for operating expenses if approved by the district's voters.
Oregon law allows for five year local option levies for school operating expenses. Under the complicated formula created by Measure 50 in 1997, expanded to schools in 1999 and modified by the legislature in 2007, approximately $1 million per year would be the most the Clatskanie School District could raise locally without subtracting from its state school funding.
During the regular meeting, and based on discussion from the Sept. 28th work session, the board set the following goals for the current year:
1. Relook at Measure 5 and see how communities can run local levies.
2. Take political action in regards to funding public education.
3. Gather state union support to address how to handle the budget shortfall without violating negotiated contract. (Work together to solve the financial crisis.)
4. Look at the possibility of hiring a grant writer – (as a district or partnering with other organization(s) which also need a grant writer. Perhaps even a grant writer for the five Columbia County school districts.
5. What programs/services can be combined with other local school districts?
6. Consolidation of services – (Proposal being tossed around by the five major ESDs – education service districts)
7. Feasibility and effectiveness of "on-line" courses. (Does it benefit districts to sign on with on-line companies that still provide part of the ADM – average daily membership on which state school funding is based – to the district.)
8. What can be cut without sacrificing a comprehensive, accredited school district?
9. Recent discussion at state level regarding consolidating school districts.
Policies Approved
The board held a second reading and approved policy JHFF "Reporting Requirements Regarding Sexual Conduct with Students."
The board also approved several policy revisions suggested by the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA).
However, at the suggestion of director Michael Moravec, the board changed the wording in the policies regarding "Nondiscrimination" and "Equal Employment Opportunity" to leave out the "laundry list" of groups protected by various state and federal law in the wording of the policies, and substitute "as prescribed by federal and state law."
Those two policies, as revised, passed by 3-2 margins with directors Moravec, Stuart Haas and Dave True voting in favor, and Janet Willey and Karen George opposed, saying they were uncomfortable with changing the wording recommended by the OSBA.
Facility Use Fees
The board discussed the facility use fee schedule which had been suspended after it was revised last year, creating an outcry from several youth activity leaders.
The board directed Superintendent Serra to negotiate a contract with Clatskanie Youth Tiger Tourneys for the use of facilities for the 2010-11 season.
The board also directed the superintendent to double check the fee schedule to make sure "some other community group is not going to be grossly affected," and bring it back to the board for consideration before it is reinstated.
Land Donated
Serra informed the board that local resident Herb Clifford, who owns property adjacent to the CMHS athletic fields, has offered to re-do the boundary line and donate the dirt road that goes by the softball field to the district.
The board voted to accept the land donation from Clifford, and expressed their thanks to him.
Hirings, Retirement
Under the consent agenda, the school board approved the hirings of Francis Donayri, CHS head softball coach for the 2010-11 season, James Engen as CHS head boys basketball coach for the 2010-11 season, and Gary Kuehl as interim groundskeeper for the district until the regular position is filled. Also accepted was the retirement of fulltime kindergarten teacher Judith Bergman, effective Jan. 1.
Clatskanie People's Utility District (PUD) customers fared well through the weekend despite forecasters predicting strong weather systems to move through the area, but that luck ended Monday morning around 6 a.m. when 675 customers in Rainier lost power.
A large tree, heavily covered in ivy, fell across power lines on Fern Hill Road causing a recloser to open up at the Rainier Substation. Line crews cleared the tree and made repairs to the wire. Service was restored to all customers by 8:40 a.m.
Line crews were also called out Sunday for two separate outages involving only seven customers in Clatskanie due to limbs on the lines.
"Clatskanie PUD would like to thank all of their customers for their patience during the power restoration process," said a Clatskanie PUD press release.
"With the storm season just beginning, Clatskanie PUD would like to emphasize the importance of being prepared should an outage occur and reminds everyone to please let the repair crews do their job. It's tempting to stop the crews and ask questions about when the power is going to be restored, but this only delays the restoration process. Remember that while the crews want to be helpful, they also want to restore your power quickly so they too can get home to their families," said the release.
Customers are encouraged to report an outage but often times the phone lines are jammed when a widespread outage occurs. If the line is busy the first time, try again later because any information might help.
For questions, call Clatskanie PUD at 503 728-2163.
Community education classes under the sponsorship of the Clatskanie Together Coalition will begin the week of Nov. 8.
A full schedule of classes, times, locations and registration forms is inserted inside this edition.
Registration forms may be dropped off at the Clatskanie Rec Center by the middle school gym on SW Bryant Street weekdays between 12 noon and 5 p.m.
Interested persons may also call to enroll during those hours at 503 728-3099.
The first autumn storm brought almost three inches of rain to Clatskanie from Friday evening through Tuesday morning.
Official weather records are kept by Rick Palm at the City of Clatskanie wastewater treatment plant. The high and low temperature and precipitation amounts are recorded at 8 a.m. each morning, reflecting the previous 24 hours.
Highs, lows and rain amounts recorded on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday mornings were: Saturday, high 62, low 43, .08 inch rain; Sunday, high 57, low 49, 1.02 inch rain; Monday, high 55, low 46, 1.22 inch rain; Tuesday, high 55, low 42, .62 inch rain.
The precipitation for the four 24-hour periods totaled 2.94 inches.
A favorite of local performing arts patrons, the Oregon Symphonic Band (OSB) returns to Clatskanie to perform a program of music in tune with Halloween this Sunday, Oct. 31, at 3 p.m., at the Donavon Wooley Performing Arts Center, located at the Clatskanie Middle/High School at 471 SW BelAir Drive.
An organization of approximately 60 musicians, which has been acclaimed nationally as Oregon's "premier symphonic band," OSB will perform its "All Halloween Concert" that promises an entertaining afternoon for all ages.
"In deciding on the theme for this year's concert we've taken a hint from the holiday Halloween and the performance will be underscored by vibrant renditions of the 'Tam O'Shanter Overture,' 'The Ascension from the Divine Comedy,' 'Funeral March of a Marionet' and 'Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld,'" says OSB conductor Michael Burch-Pesses.
"OSB is comprised of some of the Portland area's best instrumentalists, professional and amateur, and although our musicians come from all walks of life, we all have two things in common: we all love to play great band music and we are all volunteers," notes Clatskanie Arts Commission (CAC) chairman and retired Clatskanie music teacher Donavon "Dee" Wooley, who is also a member of the band.
Tickets are available at Hump's Restaurant, which continues to offer a complimentary dessert to ticket-holders who dine there just prior to the concert, or at the door with the CAC box-office opening at 2:30 p.m. the afternoon of the show. Ticket prices are $10 adult, $8 senior citizen or student and $5 for children 5 and under.
Kicking off CAC's 22nd annual performing arts season, the performance is sponsored by Mike Arthur Machine Service of Clatskanie.
CAC's ongoing mission is to offer a variety of entertaining programs and events which enrich the lives of the people of the Lower Columbia region.
For more information about this and other CAC offerings throughout the year, patrons are invited to call the commission at 503 728-3403 or visit the CAC on the web at www.clatskaniearts.org . Photo Courtesy Oregon Symphonic Band

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Members of the 81st Medical Group at Keesler are back home after a humanitarian mission to earthquake torn Chile.
They spent the past three weeks in Chile as part of an 82 person Air Force medical support team.
Forty-six men and women from Keesler took part in the humanitarian effort. They were part of a team that constructed a fully functional field hospital in just over three days.
The medical mission was in Angol, Chile, about 100 miles from the epicenter of the deadly earthquake.
"How's everybody doing this morning? Welcome back," said the briefing organizer, as members of the 81st medical group completed the required paperwork following their overseas mission.
The members of the 81st Medical Group just returned home after spending the past three weeks in Chile.
Their mission included constructing a tent-city hospital on a polo field to temporarily replace a Chilean medical center badly damaged in the quake.
"It was awesome. It was great. And we worked very hard," said Joel Shepherd. "The team worked very hard, but it was good work. We enjoyed getting our hands dirty. I enjoy setting up the E-MEDS. Putting those tents together was a lot of fun and putting all the equipment together."
Once constructed, the Air Force team helped provide medical care; everything from ER visits to various surgeries.
"There were at least 15 orthopedic surgeries, about the same number of general surgeries and gynecologic surgeries. And the ENT doc came down and also did some surgery," said Dr. Yekaterina Karpitskaya.
She is an orthopedic surgeon who worked side by side with Chilean doctors.
"It was a great experience. It was very, I'm honored to be able to do this and provide care to people in need and kind of see how they do things over there. And I actually learned things from the ortho surgeon on their side that I got to work with," said the doctor.
Members of the medical team say the graciousness and gratitude of the Chilean people was overwhelming.
"Every morning, the way they greet you is with a two handed hand shake and a kiss on the cheek. Thank you for coming. Even though the language barrier was there, you could still understand what they were trying to say to us. Thank you was around every corner and on every face. and they always talked about things from the heart," said Mary Peterson, who works as a nurse.
She said her first deployment was a memorable one.
"It is something very near and dear to my heart. I have done mission trips in the past. And to be able to do this with the Air Force and be able to represent the United States, it's amazing. Absolutely amazing. Makes me feel very proud," said Peterson.
The temporary hospital will be used for the next two to three years, while the Angol hospital is being rebuilt.
Since the field hospital opened on March 13, Chilean and Air Force medics treated more than 300 patients and performed about 40 surgeries.

Victor A. Morente, Political Science & Public Administration, International Nongovernmental Organizations, (2014)
"One of the biggest misconceptions about Rhode Island College is that there are not enough resources for help here because we are a small school. That is simply not true; we have plenty of advisors, mentors, and regular students who possess different experience and knowledge in a variety of fields and who are more than willing to help out. Luckily, many of them work at the Career Development Center. So, if you have any questions or concerns... no matter how small or simple... you should stop by the Center."

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
As 2012 comes to a close and we get set to ring in 2013, we took some time to look back over the events of last year. 2012 was a big year for East Texas and we put together a list of the most talked-about stories of the year on KLTV.com.
A Gladewater family has made their way into the hearts of people, not only in East Texas, but also around the world.When Heather Brown suffered a brain aneurysm while 34 weeks pregnant, doctors were forced to deliver her baby via C-section. Her husband, Sean, who was serving in Afghanistan, flew back to the United States to be with his wife and their newborn baby, John. Heather has been in a coma since the middle of September. The Browns' story went viral, spreading across the globe. Their Facebook page, "Bringing Home the Browns," has over one million likes from across the world. The page is updated regularly with updates on baby John as well as Heather's condition.

Next on our list is the heartbreaking story of 2-year-old Jake Kimbley, who was found dead in a septic tank after going missing 12 hours earlier. Kimbley's five siblings were removed from their parents' custody by Child Protective Services later in the day.
Jake's parents, David and Sabrina Kimbley, are being held in jail on 13 counts of child endangerment related to the condition of their home.
Autopsy results have still not been released in Jake's death and the case is still under investigation.
3. Kimberly Cargill sent to death row
A story that started back in 2010 when Kimberly Cargill was accused of killing her mentally disabled babysitter finally came to an end this year after Cargill was sent to death row for the murder of Cherry Walker.
Cargill was arrested in July 2010, more than a month after Cherry Walker's body was found burned and abandoned along a Smith County road. Walker had been subpoenaed to testify against Cargill in a child abuse hearing.
During Cargill's murder trial, which lasted more than a week, many of her own family members took the stand to testify against her.
4. Boy sets up lemonade stand to raise money for father's cancer treatments
One of the most heartwarming stories of 2012 would have to be Drew Cox's mission to help his dad fight cancer.
On a Sunday afternoon in April, Drew was feeling sad about his dad's fight with cancer, so the 6-year-old Gladewater boy set up a lemonade stand to help pay for his dad's cancer treatments. Drew's father, 30-year-old Randy Cox, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in February of 2012.
After all was said and done, Drew helped raise nearly $50,000 to put towards his father's treatments. Now, Drew's family says they plan to have a lemonade stand every year to donate to people battling cancer.
5. Earthquakes rattle East Texas
And for the shake, rattle and roll story of 2012: many East Texans were awakened early one May morning by windows rattling and beds shaking when a 4.3 magnitude earthquake struck about three miles east of the city of Timpson.
The earthquake struck around 3:12 a.m., and a short time later, KLTV 7 was barraged with questions and concerns about what ended up being the third biggest earthquake to his East Texas.
There was some minor damage reported, but no one was seriously injured in the quake.
There were four earthquakes in the Timpson area in the month of May, and a total of six for the year.
6. Johnny Manziel brings home the Heisman
Texas A&M quarterback and Tyler-native Johnny Manziel had quite a freshman year. First, he led the Aggies to a stunning upset of #1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Manziel then went on to win the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first freshman to ever win the award.
"Johnny Football" dazzled spectators and dizzied defenses with his scrambling ability and backed that up with his ability to throw from the pocket and on the run.
Manziel and the #9 Aggies face off against former Big 12 rival #11 Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on January 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The story about East Texas mortician Bernie Tiede and the elderly woman he cared for and eventually murdered premiered as a movie in March. The film was shot in Carthage, where the story takes place.

10. Alcohol propositions pass 2-to-1
In November 2012, the City of Tyler and Smith County Precinct 2 passed four propositions to allow the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption in Tyler. The propositions passed almost 2-to-1. Soon after, applications began coming in from local businesses applying for their alcohol sale permits.
On December 28, the first beer and wine sales in the city began, as stores across the city began receiving inventory from distributors.

On a more general note, given all the bank jobs, hold ups at bookies and POs in Headington over the past few years, it seems the CCTV in the area is either very poor or non-existent.

The TRiO Student Leadership Conference welcomed nearly 200 students from across the state at the University of Northern Iowa Oct. 9.
The program is catered to low-income, disabled, or first-generation college students. High school juniors and seniors, as well as college students, attended the conference.
A range of talks and work sessions aimed to empower these individuals.
TRiO programs exist at various schools to provide advisory and support services.
As a federally-funded service, the government shutdown has affected TRiO. However, Iowa TRiO gets funds from a grant every five years, so the immediate statewide impact is not significant.

Box office: 'One Direction: This is Us' dominates, 'Getaway' fizzles
There wasn't much of a battle at the box office Friday (August 30). The clear leader of the pack was the 3D concert film, "One Direction: This is Us." Fans can't get enough of Harry Styles and his boy band buddies, leading to $8.9 million on Friday.
The week's other wide release, "Getaway," seems to be facing a fairly quick death. The movie is Selena Gomez's follow up to "Spring Breakers," and also stars Ethan Hawke and Jon Voight. Even though it was on over 2,000 screens, the movie only pulled in $1.4 million.
Elsewhere, "Lee Daniels' The Butler" holds strong at number 2, with $3.62 million, while "The World's End" drops to number 8 in its second week of release.
The full Top 10 is below:
1. "One Direction: This is Us" $8,900,000
2. "Lee Daniels' The Butler" $3,622,000
3. "We're the Millers" $3,130,000
4. "Instructions Not Included" $1,925,000
5. "Planes" $1,710,000
6. "Elysium" $1,575,000
7. "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" $1,440,000
8. "Getaway" $1,420,000
9. "The World's End" $1,339,000
10. "You're Next" $1,140,000

Braves counting on Francoeur to rebound
Atlanta (18-19) vs. Colorado (15-22), 7:00 p.m. ET
ATLANTA -- Before this season started, Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said that Jeff Francoeur would be a key to the team's success. While there's plenty of time for this to prove to be true, Francoeur is in the midst of a three-week slide that has kept him from contributing.Targeted to serve a reliable run producer, Francoeur has gone 15 games without a multi-RBI performance. This coincides with the fact that he's hit just .206 (13-for-63) with three extra-base hits and six RBIs this month. "I'm not worried," Francoeur said. "At this point of the season, you're just two or three good games away from getting your average where you want it to be." During the second game of a four-game series at Turner Field on Tuesday night, Francoeur and the Braves will both attempt to right themselves. Since opening this current 10-game homestand with a win, the Braves have lost two in a row and once again found home to be anything but sweet. They've lost 11 of the past 14 home games and won eight of their past 11 road games. "We've played well here," Braves catcher Brian McCann said. "It has nothing to do with pressing when we're at home and not on the road. We just haven't played well the past two games." When the Braves won six of eight games on their past road trip, they credited a lineup that was energized by the returns of McCann and Garret Anderson. But that same lineup has scored just one run over the past 18 innings. While McCann and Anderson's presence bolstered the lineup, their return also pushed Francoeur down into the seventh spot, where he's recorded just two hits in 25 at-bats. There's some thought that while hitting in front of rookie center fielder Jordan Schafer and the pitcher, the 25-year-old right fielder isn't seeing the same pitches that he did when he was batting closer to the middle of the order. But there's also some reason to believe that Francoeur might be pressing to avoid a repeat of the 2008 season, when he produced career-low marks in batting average (.239), homers (11) and on-base percentage plus slugging (.653). Through his first 18 games this year, Francoeur was hitting .292 with 12 RBIs. Over the course of the past 19 games, he's hit .203 and tallied seven RBIs. "I think a lot of the guys are trying to do too much right now, instead of just allowing themselves to do what they know they're capable of doing," hitting coach Terry Pendleton said. "That happens when you're not scoring a lot of runs." Pitching matchup
ATL: RHP Jair Jurrjens (3-2, 2.06 ERA)
Jurrjens was pushed back a day after Sunday's rainout and will be pitching on six days of rest. Jurrjens' run of tough luck was extended on Tuesday, when he held the Mets scoreless until surrendering a two-run single with one out in the eighth inning. One inning later, the Mets tied the game, giving him a no-decision. Jurrjens has gone 1-2 with a 1.95 ERA during his past six starts. He was 2-1 with a 3.48 ERA in three starts against the Rockies last year. COL: RHP Jason Hammel (0-2, 4.62 ERA)
In his last outing on Thursday against the Astros, Hammel pitched solidly for the first time at Coors Field by giving up four runs -- one earned -- on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. However, he was the hard-luck loser. Hammel was able to locate his fastball and mix in some good sliders and curveballs. Hammel has never faced the Braves. Tidbits
Tim Hudson has been feeling good during recent throwing sessions, and he's told manager Bobby Cox that he might be pitching in the big leagues again before the end of August. Hudson is currently rehabbing from the Tommy John elbow ligament transplant surgery that he underwent on Aug. 8, 2008. ... Braves right-handed reliever Rafael Soriano has recovered from the sore groin muscle that made him unavailable this past weekend. ... Jones needs two more hits at home to give him 1000 career hits at Turner Field. Tickets

- Studio: FilmDistrict
- Release Date: Jun 8, 2012
- Starring: Aubrey Plaza, Jake M. Johnson, Jenica Bergere, Karan Soni, Mark Duplass
- Summary: When an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to look for the story behind it, they discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth, a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he¹s solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon. Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you. (FilmDistrict)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 27 out of 31
Mixed: 4 out of 31
Negative: 0 out of 31
It's equally endearing as a sweetly funny romance between two likable oddballs and as a low-tech time-travel thriller, and has something profound to say about making the most of the present.
Aubrey Plaza proves she can carry a film with this multiplex-friendly comedy about time travel.
This is the rare movie with no one to root against, a film filled with good guys and weird guys (and gals), all of whom you hope find what they're looking for, even if you know that's not possible.
Safety Not Guaranteed is a fable of ''redemption,'' and it's too tidy by half, but it is also very sweetly told.
The main flaw is that, as an actor, Duplass isn't able to make the audience love him. Picture "Bottle Rocket"-era Owen Wilson in the role, and you've got something special.
That time machine - a wonderful-looking gizmo with some lasers stolen from a medical laboratory - really exists. Whether it works or not, you'll have to see for yourself. It's worth the wait.
Jun 5, 2012Not sure if you'll enjoy Safety Not Guaranteed? Here's a quick litmus test: how do you feel about watching Mark Duplass, accompanying himself on zither (!), singing a heartfelt song about how "everyone in the big machine tries to break your heart?"
Score distribution:
Positive: 29 out of 35
Mixed: 6 out of 35
Negative: 0 out of 35
Jul 3, 2013Retro cinematic joy. I doubt that there is anyone who will not like this movie. Its witty, funny, well acted, well shot, imaginative, well thought out, well written, beautifully executed and the list just goes on. Its an extremely amazing dramedy which has way too many perks and NO cons. I recommend this movie to all movie goers.… Expand
Aug 11, 2013I don't know why but I really liked Safety not guaranteed. It has great story and plot and it's really smart. It shows how important friendship is. It had some extremely funny moments and it was humouristic but it also had some sad moments. It had also sci-fi moments and the combination of those three is really good and the result of that film was excellent. The actors were ok and the film had many things going on which made it really interesting. I liked it I didn't know the film but when I read about it I knew that I would like. An indie-low budget-must-watch. I guarantee you that you will like this film!… Expand
Jun 12, 2012I wouldn't understand how anyone could really dislike this movie. Maybe for the fact that Mark Duplass is way older than Aubrey Plaza, but then this movie illustrates that there are no bounds on love. With three people, out to investigate a story about a classified ad in the paper, each finds a separate story that they go out to take part of. Darius goes out to earn the trust of Kenneth to earn a place to go back in time and investigate the story. Jeff goes back to Ocean View to meet up with a lost love. And Arnau doesn't do much until he gets some inspiration on the trip. A very heartfelt kind of story that plays mostly on the acting and great script, "Safety Not Guranteed" is surely a winner and an admiration piece of work in the indie film business.… Expand
Nov 3, 2012Once in a while you have very little expectations before you start watching a movie and as you watch and the story develops you begin to be more and more interested, you giggle and smile and suddenly you get it, and you must see the conclusion! Safety Not Guaranteed is one of those movies.… Expand
Jun 13, 2012While it does have science fiction elements, Safety Not Guaranteed is much more quirky comedy than anything else. It has the warmth, humor and intelligence that make for a good date movie, appealing to both men and women, but without the gushing sentimentality that is typical of mainstream rom-coms. As a guy, this is the kind of date movie I actually like seeing. Full review on my blog.… Expand
Jun 17, 2012There is not really much to like or dislike in this film as it is not a complete film. Like many in of its type, its lacks any real depth and tries to get by on some teenage or SNL type charm. The result is a movie that has no real story, no resolution, no real characters that you give a damn, and you just leave the theater shaking your head. Why this was a crowd pleaser at Sundance may be because everything else was so lame? I don't know but this is a paper thin attempt at novelty that doesn't work.… Expand
Mar 1, 2013Safety Not Gauranteed starts out as a humoristic road-trip-esque adventure with the promise of some deep science-fiction but it ends up as some kind of modern romance movie with horrible music and around the 55 minute mark it really starts to drag as the movie slowly works towards tying up loose ends. Then when it finally ends, it ends with such an anti-climax that it seems like the writers just stopped caring and never finished the story. Science-fiction? Time travel? In the very last minute, just before the credits role. Leaving too many questions unanswered and generally undoing the good feeling you get from it in the first 50 or so minutes makes me wish I could go back in time to stop myself from watching this movie. Aubrey Plaza (Darius) looks great and if it wasn't for her good looks, I wouldn't have rated the movie as high as I did. Karan Soni (Darau) plays a very convincing timid intern and should have gotten more screen-time. The rest of the actors were so-so.… Expand

See your footprints in the sand of endless Ninety Mile Beach. Or cruise Gippsland Lakes, Australia's biggest expanse of inland waterways.
Four wheel drive in the Australian Alps and trek the unspoilt coastline of Wilsons Promontory National Park. Trace Aboriginal history more than 18,000 years old.

Explore the white quartz beaches, granite cliffs, forests and fern gullies in Wilsons Promontory National Park. Or slip on a mask and flippers and discover the brilliant-coloured marine life just off the shore. Don't miss Croajingolong National Park, where the white beaches, towering eucalypts, lush rainforests and granite peaks are protected by a World Biosphere Reserve. Go underground in the 400 million-year-old Buchan Caves or white water rafting in Snowy River National Park. See the wildflowers of Mt Baw Baw and the ferns and towering ash trees of Tarra-Bulga National Park. You can picnic next to Agnes Falls, Victoria's tallest single drop waterfall. Or relax in the low woodland and heath fringing Gippsland Lakes.
Test your stamina in Gippsland, where a plethora of hiking trails connect the coastline to the Alps through wilderness and national parks. In Gippsland's high country you can ski or snowboard down Mount St Gwinear and Dinner Plains in winter. Or walk amongst wildflowers on the Bogong High Plains in spring. In summer, you can soak up the views of the Victorian Alps on a bush walk, horse ride and riding your mountain bike. Fish on the Mitchell Lakes or canoe or kayak on the Snowy River. Go water skiing at Bunga Arm, Newlands Arm or North Arm on the Gippsland Lakes. Or surf the world-class breaks at Cape Paterson, Venus Bay and Waratah Bay.
Treat your taste buds with Gippsland's delectable food, the product of lush pastures, rich volcanic soil and clean lakes and oceans. Wind your way past farms, vineyards, cheese factories and outlets selling delicacies on the 40-kilometre Gourmet Deli Trail. Or stick to exploring the region's many cool-climate wine regions, including Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, Lakes Entrance and Ninety Mile Beach. Buy organic fruit and vegetables from the farmers' markets at Koonwarra, Drouin, Sale, Tyers and Bairnsdale. Pick your own berries from orchards in Warragul or catch your own lunch on a trout farm at Lakes Entrance.
Ride the powerful waves at Venus Bay or Sandy Point. Or surf, swim, snorkel and scuba dive on the tranquil, family friendly beaches of Cape Paterson. Stay in the scenic seaside resort town of Inverloch, the perfect spot for boating, bird spotting, wind surfing and walking. Nearby you'll find dinosaur diggings and Eagles Nest, a rock structure shaped like the top of Australia. Explore the historic lime kilns, shallow rock pools and sandy coves at Walkerville Beach. From Seaspray and Lakes Entrance you can walk Ninety Mile Beach – a long stretch of sand which separates the Gippsland Lakes from Bass Strait.
Visit the Den of Nargun and learn about Dreamtime stories, traditional lifestyles, Aboriginal keeping places and the impact of European settlement on the Batatuk Cultural Trail. It follows some of the routes Gunai and Monaro people followed for over 18,000 years. See archaeological sites such as scarred trees and shell middens more than 10,000 years old and explore the cultural heritage of the Gunai people at the Krowathunkoolong Keeping Place in Bairnsdale.
Ninety Mile Beach, located in the Gippsland region on Victoria's south-eastern coastline, is one of the longest uninterrupted beaches in the world. Stand on the beach and watch the beach disappear into the salty sea spray in the distance. You might find that your footprints are the only ones in the sand that day. This is one of the most natural and unspoilt beaches in the world and is ideal for activities from beach fishing and swimming to walking, whale and dolphin-spotting or just lazing in the sun. Sun, sand and lush national parks all create the perfect holiday environment.
