Midway: Mining the Lumps
After a pleasant night in a lovely, shallow, sandy bay inside Berniar Island (also a great place for swimming), we trolled on northward, picking up several species of mackerel and some longtail tuna (the 10- to 20-pound tuna are widely called northern bluefin in Australia).
We picked up the lines and ran nearly two hours north and west (farther offshore) to some numbers Ben had been given; these held the promise of finding "lumps" on the bottom in 250 to 300 feet that should offer good jigging action.
For the most part, the seafloor off southwest Australia is rather like the Gulf of Mexico — a gently to moderately sloping bottom that's uniformly pretty smooth. Any real structure would certainly be a gold mine for anglers. We didn't find much structure, only slightly discernible bottom relief, but that was enough to produce some action.
Our first six bottomfish to the boat comprised six different species — red-throated emperor, pearl perch, pink snapper, gold-spot trevally, a coral trout and a dandy rankin cod (a species of grouper).
Yes, we ate very well that evening, at anchor near Carnarvon — the largest community midway between Shark Bay and Exmouth. Carnarvon sits at the Gascoyne River mouth. That's one of the very few rivers on this arid stretch of Australian coast where rivers are dry beds most of the year. This larger river did have a bit of outflow — enough to create muddy estuarial water where the boat sat.
Knowing that drums and croakers around the world are fond of estuaries, before I joined the boys at dinner on the back deck, I baited a circle hook with a hunk of rib meat from one of the fish we'd cleaned earlier and left it to soak off the transom. I'd all but forgotten about it when the clicker sounded a short staccato alarm. I grabbed the rod, put the reel in gear to let the line come tight, and the circle hook did its work. Soon, I found myself hanging on and dipping the rod low when the fish ran under the boat, then hustling from corner to the next, until finally Tim pulled in through the tuna door a beautiful silvery mulloway, which seemed to me well over 20 pounds. Such drum — looking very much like their close relative, California's white seabass — are considered a prized catch in this area.
Caught in the Open
The southwest coast of Australia gets its share of wind. Sure, there are calm days any time of the year, and March, April and May offer long stretches of nice weather. But wind is always a possibility.
Fortunately for us, the forecast for the next morning was light southwest winds all day — perfect for a long, 75-mile run up the coast to reefs near Coral Bay. But by midafternoon, we faced conditions very much at odds with the benign forecast. A due-north wind had started to build, and by nightfall, the Mandalay was running head-on into gale-force winds that had whipped the Indian Ocean into a frothing, confused, angry frenzy. And with the coast offering absolutely no protection from a northerly, there was nothing for it but to batten down and pound our way north in the blackness for another seven hours until we finally made Coral Bay where we could hide inside a fringing reef. That run, veterans Neil and Ben later assured me, was really tough, even for this windy region.
We hadn't the time needed to begin to explore the waters around Exmouth by the time we made the area, and never did get into the excellent giant trevally action for which it's known. Nor were we able to fish the huge fringing Ningaloo Reef. We did, however, find packs of good-size queenfish anxious to climb all over various lures, particularly Halco's Hamma lure, when twitched hard to make it dart erratically.
Nor did we have the opportunity to run out to drop lines for billfish, which was a shame: Exmouth has recently become the newest hot spot among Australian billfish anglers. In addition to billfish, the area holds a great variety of game fish. Carter pointed out that Exmouth and the Gascoyne region represent a "crossover zone" where many warm-water species at the southern end of their range mix with many temperate species at the northern end of their range.
The Gulf of Exmouth is a vast body of water, and its extensive eastern side offers flats and shallows known to harbor bonefish, permit, golden and other trevallies, queenfish and more. Precious little serious effort has gone on here — though Halco recently teamed up with Australian fishing magazine Fishing World for an extended inshore adventure to better assess the potential of Exmouth's extensive inshore fishery. (Read that account and see images at fishingworld.com.au/news/sneak-peek-amazing-exmouth.)
Even with all we did get to see and do, eight full days wasn't nearly enough to truly explore and fish this area — offshore, nearshore and inshore.
The far side of Australia is a fascinating place for anglers with the means and sense of adventure to experience it.
Fishing the Far Side
Getting there: Fly into Perth for starters. We flew Air New Zealand (airnewzealand.com). Along with its high ratings (airlinequality.com), ANZ has many flights from L.A. and San Francisco directly into Auckland, and offers nonstops to Perth from there. Fly up to Exmouth or Shark Bay from Perth via Skywest (skywest.com.au).
TIMING: For the calmest, most pleasant fishing, figure March, April and May. That's normally a good time for many game fish, including billfish. Also, the Australian International Billfish Tournament is held in fall, this year March 19 to 23 (for information, visit egfc.com.au, site of the Exmouth Game Fishing Club). If you can take the seas — since October through February can be cob-rough — anglers will find the best black marlin fishing from spring through fall. October's also a good month for baitballs and sailfish.

Richmond Police are working hard right now to dig up new leads following the brutal murder of a southside convenience store owner. Friday, they passed out hundreds of fliers to people who live nearby.
Two months ago, Mohammad Taib was shot inside the Food Mart on Erich road. NBC12 was the only station walking alongside detectives today. Investigators say they're determined to keep this case from going cold.
For the second day in a row, police were out canvassing the area passing out fliers like this one. This comes just days after Taib's family offered a $10,000 reward for anyone who can lead to the arrest and conviction of the killer.For detective James Baynes, catching the killer is everything.
"I think all cases are hot until we get them solved," said Baynes.
Police passed out more than 300 fliers in the Aden Park Apartments – just a stone's throw from the Food Mart where the 59-year-old was killed.
"We've gotten a few leads we're following up on," said Detective Baynes. "We don't want to share them or scare anyone off but we are on it."
The handout has information on the November 24 murder - along with Taib's picture and the reward offered to anyone who can help catch his killer.
Detective Baynes urges anyone who knows about the murder to come forward - and he hopes the fliers will push that message.
NBC12 spoke to Mohammad Taib's widow inside the store Friday. She didn't want to speak on camera - but she did say she appreciates the police department's tireless effort to get to the bottom of this case.
If you can help police, call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000. Tips can remain anonymous. You can also call Detective James Baynes directly at: 646-3617.

Look at the situation Floyd has put himself in when it comes to his position in the sport of boxing. He is peaking right now when it comes to his position in all aspects that relate to his active boxing career. He not only has 2 sanctioning bodies in different Divisons waiting on his decison...Hes got HBO and Showime willing to go above and beyond to get His Fight on May 4. Now hes got fighters fighting and begging for their 1 shot at Fame. Mayweather got everyone wanting him at this point. It don't even matter who he fight, he could go fight 1 of the Paulies, make a story of it, and make 50 million. Just to get to this position is an amazing accomplishment, but the longer he stays around he runs the bigger risk of making a permenant mistake, but even if he loses he still gonna make that paper in a boxing ring.

Floyd is a genius. A month ago Guerrero was looked at as a cherrypick fight. Now the world is yearning for this matchup. Even going as far to say Floyd is ducking Guerrero now. Freaking brilliant.

American Indian leaders say disruptions to some services for the elderly and other needy reservation residents could linger despite the end of the government shutdown.
Tribal leaders said Thursday it could take days or weeks to get backed-up funds flowing. They're also grappling with federal cuts imposed even before the latest budget impasse shut off payments entirely.
On Montana's Crow Reservation, officials say about 30 home health providers remain furloughed with no word on when they might return to work.
Others hope to regain stability more quickly.
California's Yurock Tribe expects to have 60 furloughed workers back on the job within 48 hours. Montana's Fort Belknap Reservation plans to take a $2 million loan to cover costs for social programs that continued through the shutdown.

Lee Westwood posted a 1-under 70 in the third round of the British Open, which left him with a two-shot lead over Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan. Afterward, he was so confident with the way he handled his flat stick that the winner of 39 global tournaments and no majors had zero concerns about how he would do Saturday night with his flatware.
"Actually, I'm not in a high-pressure situation because I'm going to go have dinner," Westwood said with a laugh about being the frontrunner heading into Sunday's finale at Muirfield, "and I'm so good with a knife and fork now that I don't feel any pressure at all."
To hear the 40-year-old Englishman banter with reporters after besting Woods in their one-on-one duel, a listener could be forgiven for forgetting that Westwood was on the precipice of winning the first major championship of his 20-year professional career. Just another day at the office for the favorite of the Scottish fans, who lustily applauded each putt that the constant major contender drilled from short and long range.
"I was interacting with them all day, obviously trying to give them as much to cheer for as possible," said Westwood, who clearly had the gallery on his side in his head-on beat-down of the world No. 1. "They were giving me good feedback. It's obviously great to play in an Open Championship in front of the crowds that they get here and I always get a good reception. It's nice to play well and hear those roars."
Westwood sounded like the most relaxed of all the competitors aiming to hoist the Claret jug on Sunday, even if, with seven top-three major finishes since 2008 and with the most starts (62) without a victory, according to GolfChannel.com's Will Gray, he's the current "best golfer never to win a major." Perhaps that's because he has learned to bring his relaxed, off-the-course demeanor with him onto the greens, thanks to his recent work with Ian Baker-Finch, the Australian version of American putting guru Dave Stockton.
"I did a lot of work with Ian," Westwood said on Friday. ""He gave me a couple of tips on getting the tension out of my arms."
His new-found putting prowess was on parade all day on the sun-baked greens and fairways at Muirfield. While his 12-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th sank Woods, who had to settle for an untidy bogey after finding a fairway bunker with his second shot, his long putt from the front of the fifth green for eagle let Tiger know he was in for a long day.
"I intended it to go in. I was aiming for the hole," Westwood dead-panned. "It was nice to hole, after bogeying the third and making a good par on 4, it was good to get some momentum going."
Westwood hopes to maintain his drive come Sunday when he tees it up in the final pairing with Hunter Mahan, another student of his and Woods' swing coach, Sean Foley. With Woods and reigning Masters champion Adam Scott playing in the group ahead, Westwood knows he'll have his work cut out for him but was unfazed by the prospect.
"I haven't won one [a major] yet and I'd like to win one, but what can you do?" Westwood said. "You can only do what you think is right and put all that practice and hard work you've done tomorrow, try not to get in your own way mentally, and just focus on the job at hand and believe you're good enough."
Westwood, who professed to have no worries about sleeping on the three-day lead, may like to know that he has history on his side heading into Sunday. The 54-hole leader has held on to win the British Open 30 times in 55 tries since 1958, according to Gray.
The odds of Westwood winning are even greater since he'll try to do so at Muirfield. In 15 tourneys played on the Scottish links, players with at least a share of the lead have triumphed 10 times, Gray noted.
"Even though I haven't won a major, I know what it takes to win one," Westwood said. "It's just a case of going out there tomorrow and having the confidence in my game, which I've got. And putting it to the test."

SBN's DawgSports reacts to Georgia's 2010 signing class, and they're not exactly thrilled:
Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat things. This recruiting class was not up to the standards we have come to expect from Mark Richt's staff, at least when measured by the criteria we have available right now. Right now, Rivals ranks this class #16 in the country. And it hurts even worse because 3 of the top 10 are on our schedule next year (and every year for that matter), and 5 of the top 10 are in our conference.
They're trying mightily to look on the bright side, but I don't think it's actually as bad as it looks for Georgia -- if my alma mater had signed a kid named Lonnie Outlaw, I'd have a (completely sincere) song on my lips. Eat your heart out, Munchie Legeaux.

By Jim Bailey
For The Herald Bulletin
Every now and then a performer in Christian music of whatever stripe is asked whether he or she considers their craft to be entertainment or ministry.
The late Hovie Lister, founder of the electrifying Statesmen quartet, used to answer: "Yes; yes. Next question."
Bill Gaither, lifelong Alexandrian and founder of the popular Gaither Vocal Band as well as the Homecoming concert tour, likes to reply that they are asking the wrong person. "You should ask the people who buy the tickets and come to the concerts," he says.
I've always described gospel music as entertainment with a message. Typically, gospel performers get the audience's attention with popular up-tempo numbers, or high tenor and low bass parts, and slip in plenty of humor. GVB baritone Mark Lowry loves to leave his audience in stitches before he begins to slip in nuggets of profundity on the real meaning of life. And the concertmasters work their way into numbers that address the things that are really important to people caught up in their difficult journeys through a lifetime.
Admittedly, through history there has been a tendency on the part of many critics to debase anything that smacks of fun in the name of religion. The Statesmen, for instance, were considered cutting-edge for their time, and on occasion a disc jockey would smash one of their records on the air. Ernie Haase and Signature Sound faced criticism over their gyrations on stage as they appealed to younger audiences. And as newer genres of contemporary gospel musicians have crossed the cutting edge with daring strains of rock and heavy metal, criticism has continued to mount.
But Gaither may have the right idea. What's really important is the impact of a concert on the audience.
Gauging that often comes from feedback received in the electronic media as well as handwritten communiqués. Concertgoers are not shy about sharing their experiences with the performers they have come to admire.
One recent e-mail received in Gaither's office provides a perfect example.
Before a Homecoming concert in Milwaukee this spring, Bill was contacted by representatives of Shepherds College, a college in Union Grove, Wis., for young adults with intellectual disabilities. For one of the young men at the institution, to say he is a "Gaither fan" is something of an understatement.
"He requests Gaither songs in his classes and prays for 'all the Gaithers' on a regular basis," said the college representative informing them of 22-year-old Sean's prospective attendance at the concert.
Bill followed through, arranging for Sean to meet members of the Vocal Band backstage before the concert. Then during the concert, lead singer Michael English pointed at Sean in the audience while Lowry said, "We met a young man tonight. Sean, this song is dedicated to you." The song was "He Touched Me."
It's safe to say the lasting impression left on this young man transcends questions of entertainment vs. ministry.
Jim Bailey's column appears on Wednesday. He can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com.

I own the CD, in my opinion this is just bad music writing. Save some money. do something you may enjoy better. (like getting a tooth pulled)
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Calling this album music is a total insult to many talented artists today! The lyrics is horrible (I mean why use the f word every second in Hot Dog, whining about every single thing. He's obviously 30-something, so he wouldn't know what's it like to be a teen of the year 2000-1. His attempts to mock Trent Reznor of NIN is obviously futile through-out the album), about as bad as their second album, "Significant Other". The guitars, drums, electronics, and bass is highly boring, too. Not only that, why Fred Durst flaks many artists and bands such as Creed, Marilyn Manson (IMHO, a great philosopher and mis-interpreted genius.), Alanis Morsiette and many others? Is he jealous of them or maybe he is a school-yard bully so he can get attention? Speaking of Fred Durst, his vocals sucks. His voice is about as horrible as a drugged up hyena. Using guest artists and putting "Take A Look Around" cannot save this failed album from a failed band. Avoid this album, along with many today's talentless nu-metal bands, such as Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and Taproot. If you want good nu-metal albums, get albums from Rage Against The Machine or One Minute Silence, instead. You want real and true-to-honest artists that doesn't cash in attention and money? Get albums from Tool, Slayer, Pitchshifter, Ministry, Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Metallica (old stuff), Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Misery Loves Co., Machine Head, Revolting Cocks, Nothingface, Skinlab, Refused, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Project Pitchfork, Pig, NIN, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, The Eagles, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Santana, Sophie B. Hawkins, Katie Price, Sarah McLaughlin, Beethoven, Mozart, and any other artists that is much better than this poor excuse of a band.BTW, I think the thing between Christina Augilera and Fred Durst is rather disturbing. Combining both of their mockery of music in MTV awards is scary. Please, avoid garbage pop music and many hopeless nu-metal bands. Image isn't everything, you know?
I would like to give praise to my friend Aaron's insightful review of Limpbizkit's brand, spanking new piece of filth and Fred Durst has dubbed "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. Indeed, after listening to every song on this album, did I agree that a good, old fashioned kick to the love rocket is more enjoyable than this waste of good plastic, hell at least you feel something for god's sake! Back in 1998, I happened to catch Fred and the band thrashing it out on the Fashionably Loud portion of MTV's Spring Break. Well, that did it. The next day, everyone was buzzing about this hard new band. In May, of 1999. I purchased Three Dollar Bill Y'all, nothing special, but pretty good nonetheless. And there you have it, I was a full-fledged Limpbizkit fan, as was everyone else. And then, in July of 1999, Significant Other came out. I rushed to Target and bought it, only to discover… The Bizkit had been broken. What the hell was this!? Fred had even stopped screaming! And started devoting his time to pathetic attempts at rapping and crooning! Screw that I said, I didn't even take the time to sell the cd, I gave it to my cousin for free, and I don't doubt for a minute that she threw it out the window upon returning home. After Significant Other hit the charts, Limp was awarded with praise, so much praise in fact, that later on, he would named the Vice President of Interscope! Hmmm. So let me get this straight… if I write a bunch of idiotic lyrics and set it to equally bad music, I could become one of the head honcho of a major record label without any previous experience? WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!!! With that, Fred became immersed in a major ego trip, a trip that to this day, he is still on. Insulting bands that he feels to be inferior but aren't, like Creed, Taproot, and Nine Inch Nails, the latter I have been a fan of for a long time and threatening bands that don't sign with him. Screw Fred! And screw this piece of crap! You might as well hide a mike in a middle school bathroom if you want lyricism Fred! Marvel at his maturity as his spits out insults and the F-Word at the same time in HOT DOG! OOH AHH! Fred basically repeats the same thing in every song. The whole album can be summed up with these words, "Dont f**k with me, I am the s**t, I didn't get enough love as a kid please give me some attention, I couldn't get chicks until I became famous and when I do get chicks I treat them like garbage, I dumped Carmen Electra I AM SMART! WOW!, I sure do wish I was black", and "Nasal voices sell!" There, I just saved you $15.00. You can thank me later dog. Buy something good like the Deftones or Tool, how about some Cake or some AC/DC? Anything but this, now if you'll excuse me, I have to search for Fred, so I can make him eat this cd.
Firstly let me say one thing. I view music for its qualities and whether it will stand up on its own merits in x number of years. Great music is timeless irrespective of the era it originated from. It should not be judged positively if the artist is the product of media advertising or commercial popularity. I collect and love music from classical, ragtime, swing, bigband, delta blues, country, r&r, psych, metal, avant garde, jazz, experimental, techno and even rap. This band and its output is THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR in popular music I have heard. It represents the dumbing down to a lobotomy of a long and rich musical heritage in music. My theory is this. Rap moves out of its original sources and seeps out into suburban white America. The original ideologies and talent is transformed into a banal, pathetic excuse for noise which even the most tone deaf and untalented industrialist could improve upon if they had no arms or legs and were fed on a diet of baked beans. This is narcissistic, moronic, penis/cranuim intertwined garbage. If you really think this has any qualities I do feel sorry for you as you were dealt a cruel hand in life. If you think this album says something or if it gives you a bit of spine because it says things you are too gutless to say or do then face it, you can't cut it in this world. What's the word – Loser, that's it. Get a life and explore the huge amount of music that is actually created by artists with intelligence and talent.
There's really no point of even writing a review of this record because anyone with even half a brain cell knows this record is garbage. But why not.I guess if you really, really like corporate rock, Limp Bizkit is perfect for you. Even NSYNC spend less time out golfing with their label executives. Chocalate Starfish is also for you if your ideal rock star is an overweight gansta-wannabe who doesn't even go to the McDonalds drive-through without a security guard. Note to Fred: Dr. Dre you ain't. Although I suppose if I made music as bad as you, I'd want to be protected from the public too.Also, if you've recently discovered these things called "swear words" like Fred apparently has, you'll also love this record, cause he uses them a bunch. How cool! I wish I could come up with lyrics as deep and meaningful as "Keep rollin, rollin, rollin." I bet bands like Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails just wish they were cool enough to get to do a duet with Christina Aguilera on MTV, but they just aren't cool enough I guess. Maybe someday.

In defense of modern nursing homes
Re: "These are not your father's retirement communities," April 6 Teresa Keegan column.
Teresa Keegan wrote a visionary and compelling argument for the development of elder neighborhoods where the ecology, housing, health needs and economy are geared for an aging population. That is all well and good. Our concern is with Keegan's misinformed attack on nursing homes.
Today's nursing home is "not your father's or mother's nursing home." Today, many nursing home placements are for short-term rehabilitation stays. And the lives of those in nursing homes for the longer term have greatly been enhanced due to the person-centered care model that has revolutionized long-term care. The nursing home regimen now revolves around the choices, needs and desires of the nursing home resident.
Colorado's long-term care professionals are extremely dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and life for the frail elderly and disabled citizens we serve.
Arlene Miles, Englewood

Like anything ever written by David Sedaris, Tina Fey's Bossypants virtually begs to be listened to instead of read. Hearing the actual wise-ass voice of the former Saturday Night Live writer and creator of the brilliant NBC sitcom 30 Rock enhances the entire experience.
Not that Fey can't write funny; she's proven she can, and if you choose to read this comic memoir you'll be well entertained as Fey leads you through her life, from her awkward childhood and adolescence outside Philadelphia to her years doing improv at Second City in Chicago to her first on-screen work on "Weekend Update" at SNL and to her thoughts on why 30 Rock ever got the go-ahead ("Alec Baldwin"). You may also enjoy her opinions on the differences between male and female comedy writers — "Men urinate in cups" — and why other mothers should stop being so damned fascist about breastfeeding.
But listening to Bossypants is about as close to spending five and a half hours with the frazzled, overwhelmingly funny Liz Lemon as you're going to get (unless you buy the DVD sets, which Fey hawks periodically and humorously here). The audiobook also includes the uproarious original SNL sketch in which Fey appeared as former Alaska governor Sarah Palin with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Fey explains how the sketch came about and how her impression of Palin — though she'd never done impersonations — became a pop cultural phenomenon.
Bossypants is the perfect answer to idiots who claim women aren't funny. Fey is. Listen and find out for yourself. And never go with a hippie to a second location.

Jane Austen was an amazing writer and woman for her time. She penned a total of six novels, all of which are still studied in classrooms to this day. Her keen insights into social customs paint a picture of life in the Georgian era and all the delights and pratfalls that life entailed. While not a famous name in her own time, her works made her a literary celebrity in the 19th Century, a status she maintains today. Have a look below at some things you may now know about this great author.

Some people embrace Natalie Goldberg's Zen approach to writing; others resist it. But in all cases, she urges writers to dive deep. Author of the bestselling guides Writing Down the Bones (1986) and Wild Mind (1990), Goldberg peppers her conversation with Buddhist references like "sitting with my own mind."
She speaks of the need to observe your "passing thoughts" in order to get to wild mind: the place within yourself that's devoid of self-censorship.

Penelope's curator insight, August 14, 9:05 PM
Thank you, Hachette Book Group. It seems the ongoing feud between the two goliath booksellers is giving us little guys a boost up.
Little guys meaning indie publishers who never before had access to the exclusive golden goose. The pre-order button. The button just out of our grasp.
If you have a novel in draft mode, set a publish date (up to 90 days out), and get it uploaded for approval. This may be the impetus I need to set a date for my upcoming romance novel and get the coveted button. Go forth indies!

Now trully WYSIWYG visual editor (watch it in action) can be used for adding a new content. The theme encourgages you to use as little shortcodes as possible, replacing them with styles. Thus you can see how your website will really look like when you publish the content.

What buyers say
This has to be about the best theme on ThemeForest – no, that I have ever seen, PERIOD. I have been developing WP sites for years, purchased countless themes, and never found one that was robust enough to do EVERYTHING I needed it to as this one is. My favorite part about it is having so many different page types, custom modules, and custom fields. Everything is so neat, organized, fast loading, intuitive, and user-friendly. Oliver's customer support is friendly, superb, and FAST. I can't think of one problem I've had that Oliver hasn't found a solution for and I probably will never change themes because of the customization options available in this one. Give it a shot! You won't be disappointed.

DERRY — As a former town leader awaits a December court date, it's time to begin the search for his replacement.
Town councilors want to start the process to choose Derry's next town administrator. That may take time as the often divided group has differing opinions on how to move forward.
The town officially cut its ties with John Anderson last month in the wake of indecent exposure and lewdness charges brought against him in August.
Anderson had been on administrative leave since July 12, a day after an alleged incident at his Lane Road home involving a satellite TV salesman.
He waived his arraignment on Oct. 11 in 10th Circuit Court and remains free on $2,000 personal recognizance. A court date has been set for Dec. 13 in 10th Circuit Court.
His last official day on the job was Oct. 26.
Now, the Town Council wants to get started on the search for Anderson's replacement.
Acting Town Manager Larry Budreau said the last four administrator searches were handled by an outside recruiting firm.
Some council members believe that is the right way to proceed, but others said the council could do a proper search and save the town some money.
Budreau said the last administrator search cost Derry $15,000.
"The search firm gathers information and compiles it into what we want," Town Council Chairman Michael Fairbanks said. "If we do it ourselves, how would we pull it together?"
Councilor Mark Osborne said he wants to handle the search process internally and make it as public as possible.
"There are all kinds of web searches for jobs," he said. "This is one of the things we were elected to do, and try and save the taxpayers money while looking for a town administrator. We don't need a far-off agency telling us what we need."

BARTONVILLE, Ill. -- After serving the nation overseas, Illinois is looking to serve Veterans who dream of entrepreneurship.
Friday, officials from the Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs hosted a small business summit.
Mission: Veterans 2 Entrepreneurs is a statewide initative to introduce veterans of the resources available to them.
There is a lack of awareness, many in the veteran community are unaware of the procurement opportunities and preferences they are awarded by the state," says Rodrigo Garcia, Asst. Dir. Illinois Dept. of Veteran Affairs. "Not only do we have the veteran business program that awards 3% of all state contracts, there is also the small business set aside program. That sets aside 10% of state contracts to small businesses."
Friday's event included crash courses on business plans. Disaster relief assistance, and tips on how to secure business grants and loans on a state and federal basis.

Sportsnet's Christine Simpson talks about the pitch that the Canucks were making in 1988 to try land Wayne Gretzky ahead of Los Angeles. It's worth a look to see what the Canucks were pitching. Of course the Canucks were also chasing Gretzky before he was traded to the Blues in 1996. Imagine a Gretzky - Bure - Linden /Mogilny line. Drool. Sportsnet, like TSN, has a bunch of stories on Gretzky celebrating the 25th anniversary of the trade.

It's amazing what a power play goal can do to a struggling team.
Perhaps getting out of fickle Roger's Arena, hanging out together in Lotus Land is just what the doctor ordered for our team.
Despite all the fails by the Canucks in Game 1 they were never out of it until the empty net goal to make it 4-2.
This is going to be a rough and dirty series, make no mistake.
And here comes another opponent who is scratching and clawing at a playoff spot.
So...cue another Pacific Division team that enters The Rog as an improving team. The Kings have a 3-1-3 record since they humiliated us on December 31.
The Kings are now 4-0-2 in their last 6 after going 1-6-0 in the 7 games prior to that.
