You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
R. Doreen H. passed a background check on 12/7/12. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to R. Doreen, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Doreen takes her job very seriously. She is a very well-rounded tutor, the best one I have ever had. I needed to write an essay that was worth 50% of my grade and the instructor was a very hard grader so I asked Doreen for help. I sent her all the class notes, she read them all, and then I gave her a sloppy copy of my essay and she helped organize all my thoughts and helped me clean up my paper. I ended up getting an 'A' on the essay and the instructor said he enjoyed reading it. Doreen is the best because she learned all my class materials and helped me organize it all into the essay. Doreen also helped teach me self-discipline and time-management, which she did not have to, but she cares. So, she is willing to go above and beyond to help anyone. She is great at what she does.

I have my existing block wall in my basement and existing drywall I added furring strips and put drywall on block part.
What can I use to connect them. The new drywall sticks out about an inch more that the original
Posted Sat, 11/24/2012 - 10:38
I can't quite visualize what you are talking about, but I think you are saying that you have two planes of drywall, and one plane of drywall is an inch or two proud of the adjacent plane of drywall.
If that is the case, you have two choices: you can either install a vertical piece of trim at the seam between the two planes (and live with the face that the two areas of drywall are not co-planar), or you can install shims (that is, more furring strips) on the sunken plane and install a new layer of drywall so that the new drywall is co-planar with the other surface you are trying to match.

The Insider: Putting Out Fires
By: Robert Siegel
A day in the life of the small fragrance house perfumer. The small house perfumer wears many hats—fragrance creator, customer liaison, writer, crisis manager, last minute shopper and more. Here, author Robert Siegel presents a frank, humorous view from the trenches, offering a look inside the ever-evolving day-to-day responsibilities, pressures and quirks of the fragrance business.

Topics in Perfumery: Creating Effective Natural Fragrances
By: Helen Feygin, Intuiscent
What's driving the contemporary fragrance consumer and how perfumers can overcome obstacles to deliver on the promise of "natural". "As we stand at the brink of a second nuclear age and a period of unprecedented climate change," the Cambridge cosmologist Stephen Hawking recently stated, "scientists have a special responsibility, once again, to inform the public and to advise leaders about the perils that humanity faces." With dire predictions such as this and the realities of life, no wonder that there exists an atmosphere of stress and anxiety throughout society.

Shioya—a surfer, sculptor, blogger (http://whatwedoissecret.org) and fragrance entrepreneur—has launched a number of novel scents over the last few years, capturing the intangible nuances of love, sex and surfing (not all at once) in a bottle.

Story in a Bottle: Anatomy of a Collection
Inside Perfume, the unique fragrance project of perfumers Christophe Laudamiel and Christoph Hornetz. Inspired by Patrick Suskind's best-selling novel, the Perfume presentation case (Thierry Mugler Parfums) is an exercise in scent's limitless expressions—from the nostalgic to the sweet to the repellent. Loosely following the arc of Suskind's story line, Les Christophes (as the creators are known) employed all manner of novel ingredients and combinations to tell an olfactive tale in 15 parts.

"The photo quality on the cards was excellent, and the design just beautiful. It's a shame to have to post them! The cards were delivered very quickly, too."
"Everyone raved about this baby announcement. Tiny prints has great customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend this!"
"The cards were absolutely adorable and printed on a high quality stock. Everyone loved the cards and asked where did I get them....trust me this card is well worth the investment."
"I really love the design of this card, from the gold stars to the font. It paired perfectly with our newborn's photo. The card stock is hearty and has a nice feel. I am really happy with this product."
"I knew once I saw this card I had to order it, and was I impressed on how wonderful it came out! I love the option of putting more pictures on the back of the card, so even though there is only room for one pic on the front, I chose to put the three pic layout on the back! Everyone that I sent this card to loved the quality and asked me where I got it from. I did my son's baby shower invitations from Tiny Prints as well, and those were wonderful too! If you want 5 star quality, pick this birth announcement card!"

Why is this important? What a ridiculous question. Making it ILLEGAL to help those in need... What is this nation coming to?
- Petitioning Paul Krekorian
This petition will be delivered to:
We ask that the Los Angeles City Council retract Motion 13-1238 to restrict non-commercial feeding programs in public rights of way.
Petition by
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
The Los Angeles City Council is considering a ban on the public feeding those in need. That means that charities, churches and other organizations that feed those in need could face large fines and even arrest if they are caught feeding the homeless.
If the City of Los Angeles is successful banning public feeding single mothers, young families, veterans, the elderly, homeless, and food insecure individuals that depend on The Dream Center and other agencies to help provide much needed meals and food will go hungry.
The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Feeding America have previously reported that 1,636,100 people were food insecure in Los Angeles. Included in this number are 643,640 children, 31% of whom are likely ineligible for federal nutrition programs. Although the federal government funds seventeen food assistance programs, 52% of food insecure individuals in Los Angeles County do not qualify under federal guidelines for these nutrition programs.
If the government isn't feeding the hungry, and won't allow nonprofit organizations, churches, and compassionate individuals to fill in the gap, what hope do these people have to survive in our city?
As the pastor at The Dream Center, I've seen firsthand the difference that we make in feeding those in need. Every month we provide over 36,000 hot meals, groceries to 40,000 people and 1,000,000 pounds of food to relieve hunger. I look into the faces of young mothers every month and I see the relief they have when they know that their child will have something to eat. We are one of many organizations that do this work, because the need is so great.
The last thing our city needs, in the midst of rising homelessness, is to restrict the goodwill of the people. We house hundreds of families and individuals who would otherwise be homeless and have invested millions of dollars to help our community — and not depend upon the government to provide the solution. Please help support this important cause by signing the petition.

December 1978, Richfield Coliseum in Ohio. Ted Nugent was headlining the show. Someone in the crowd started lighting firecrackers every few minutes and throwing them over the crowd. I don't know what kind of firecrackers they were, but they were loud, even over Ted's music (which was pretty loud). After a while, Nugent stopped the show and said, "If anybody happens to see whoever is throwing the firecrackers, I want you to catch the guy and eat his ******* face off!" Not another firecracker for the rest of the show.

Becca, I don't think the issue is that it doesn't sound like a child's voice, because it does. But IMO the girl's style has a maturity you don't normally see in children… or considering today's music scene, even in a lot of adults. That's not normally my style of music, but I enjoyed watching her and would love to see more.

Jesus would never advocate this cult. He viewed the command to honor your father and mother as being so inviolable that He condemned the Pharisees for teaching that it's better to give your money to God than to use it to help your parents (Matthew 15:1-9. Any religious group that deliberately isolates a person from their family and friends is a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing.

And who is the Author of gravity?
The Lord God almighty is truly the most magnificent of all artists. No one else comes close. He is always on display through His works.in the same way an artist is on display in a gallery even when the artist himself is nowhere to be seen.
And He wrote the greatest of all dramas, putting Himself on center stage by sending His Son to die for a world that hates Him.

Sorry, the second paragraph in my previous post should have began "Spencer laughed at him…" I don't know how the word "laughed" got dropped, I remember typing it.
February 7, 2014 at 12:11pm
On p. 360-361 of her book "Shattered Dreams", Irene Spencer wrote that a week after her son Seth entered kindergarten in California, the school psychologist informed her that Seth failed every psychology test given, appeared to be retarded and needed to be in a special class.
Spencer at him since Seth was one of her smartest children (out of 12), and asked to see the test. The psychologist replied, "Excuse me. I'm the psychologist here. I'm sorry if you disagree with me, but he must go into special classes. Still, I'll be glad to show you the tests we gave him."
He said "Seth was unable to identify any of these," and showed her pictures of a baseball glove, Micky Mouse, a fireman, a policeman, and a fire hydrant before Spender stopped him.
She told him, "Seth has never seen any of these things. He's lived in Mexico and Nicaragua all his life. Had you asked him what a burro was or a three-toed sloth, or a monkey, ox, coconut, banana, machete or sugarcane, he could have told you."
She pointed to the picture on the next page. "This light bulb, for instance, he's never seen one. We've always lived without electricity. In fact, I have to reprimand Seth most every time I hear the toilet flush. He's in there tearing squares of toilet paper from the roll, watching excitedly as the tissue disappears. It's all new to him. We've never had a flushing toilet before."
The arrogance of these "specialists" is appalling.

This "predates the Biblical story of Noah", which means that it predates Moses, the author of Genesis. The actual Flood, however, occurred much earlier. If this is from 4000 years ago, it's actually from AFTER the time that the Flood is believed to have occurred.

I'd consider the truck to be a weapon, too.
In addition to what you said, if you listen to the audio (around 3:37), the police say twice that he was going the wrong way down a road. I'm not trying to excuse the police if this turns out to be excessive force, but chasing a suspect the wrong way on a one-way road really gets their adrenaline pumping (or so says a highway patrol friend of mine). But as soon as the one officer said that he was going the wrong way, another officer, realizing that things were getting out of hand, said, "We know the suspect, so we can probably back it off." Sad for the dad that they didn't take his advice.

I agree 100%. But even taking the moral free fall into account, this still doesn't make sense. What did they think was going to happen after they released her?
"Hey, I have an idea! Let's lie (or misspeak, as Obama puts it) to get her over here, force her to f*** me and beat her to a pulp until she consents. It'll be fun! We'll all laugh about it with her for years to come because we'll record it and put it on YouTube. She'll be an InstaStar" Is that really what they thought? Because this completely baffles me. Did they really think they wouldn't be found out, that she wouldn't tell anybody? Broken bones, extremely swollen eyes and a bleeding ear are kind of hard to hide. Are these people even sane? It's not just morals–these people seem to have no concept of consequences.
And I bet they blame the victim for their being in jail/JD.

"most experts today can not aim"?
Which sling-experts are you talking about, Tim? People do know how to use slings today, but proficiency was much more widespread in ancient times when people had to catch their own food (even today it is considered to be a good wilderness survival tool). Slings were efficient at killing birds, rabbits, and other hard-to-catch animals, and they were used in combat, too.
But I seriously question Gladwell's take on "superior technology". Superior technology did not kill the giant. What killed the giant was the Lord of Hosts, the great I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. With God on his side, David could have killed Goliath with a feather.

It worked for the Progressives. They couldn't get anywhere running on 3rd party tickets either. But when they decided to infiltrate the Democratic party instead, they took it over so completely that it's hard to even separate Democrat and Progressive in your thinking. Why not do that with the GOP? We're certainly not much better off with a RINO than a Dem anyway, but one of them will almost always win.
BTW, when I first saw (on FB) "Don't split the vote and hand the win to the Dems. Vote Cuccinelli", I thought, "Yeah, right. I'm not voting for someone I don't like just to keep someone else I don't like out." But then I realized I don't really know much about Cuccinelli. What if he's a real conservative? Maybe I should investigate.
As should we all. Don't just react. Research.

We shouldn't get so focused on the web site itself (except in relation to the massive waste of taxpayer money) since web sites can be repaired. Obamacare is not a web site. Obamacare is the real train wreck, not some web site that can be fixed. STAY FOCUSED, PEOPLE!

A lot of attention has been given lately to an interesting perk that a few companies in California are now offering to new employees. We have all heard of a vacation and the stay-vacation, now you can add the Pre-Cation to that list.
So what is a Pre-Cation you ask? Two companies in California have decided that all new hires should take a 2 week vacation before starting their jobs. Getting away for a few days and just disconnecting apparently translates into a more energized and refreshed work force. Since we are only talking about 2 companies doing this I wouldn't exactly call it a trend but the concept is definitely making the headlines.
I suppose there are some advantages and disadvantages to the pre-cation. If the new hire doesn't work out then you just blew a few thousand dollars for nothing. While a new hire may feel refreshed to start a new job after a 2 week vacation will that necessarily translate into long term success? It's doubtful other companies will start jumping on the pre-cation bandwagon due to the prohibitive cost and lack of measurability. I would imagine there are better ways to motivate new employees but for the moment the Pre-Cation wins the award for creativity.

5-at-10: Fab 4 picks, title game questions and will Saban leave
It may be the softball parent in me but I have never liked allowing the baseball catcher to be steamrolled. He has some protection with his gear but it's not allowed on the other bases, why at home?
The NFL and ESPN try to build stars sometimes at the expense of covering the lesser teams/cities. It is annoying but expected that the Griffin story would be overblown.
5-at-10: Fab 4 picks, Winston announcement, UT recruiting and Tiger
Gervell Morgan would be a great addition to the Mocs. I had forgotten all about him. Whatever happened to the other linebacker that went west to a juco, the center of all the controversy a couple of years back?
"Lack of institutional control" must be not be a part of the TSSAA guidelines. Cutting spring practice and two weeks of summer lifting for Marion County gives any team license to cheat at will, as long as their conduct is not specifically against the rules. "Don't penalize the kids", doesn't that happen when any team is hit for recruiting or accidentally playing an ineligible player?
I am really pulling for Michigan State. A Florida State vs. Ohio State matchup would be as exciting as last year's thumping in the title game.
And as for Dobbs, are we now about to witness the strength of street knowledge?
Cook: The white faces of crime
Cook has the worst case of white guilt in the world. Ever. He should go black-face, give away all of his possessions, move to a public housing facility, and maybe he would be more satisfied with his life.
5-at-10: Fab 4 picks, 5 SEC things to watch, hoops and best duets
UTC's women will see tougher competition than the other night, but Lee is not bad. Half a dozen of those ladies could have been playing lower level Division I and one of them could have been playing at MTSU. I don't consider Lee a UTC wannabe. In some seasons UTC would have been looking up at Lee in more than one sport, and they are able to field a terrific baseball team.
100.7 is not on my dial, 99.3 is on my dial, which should explain what I thought about most of the country awards show.
Duets, Bowie and Mercury were swell on Under Pressure. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The Incognito situation went supernova when the racial slurs became known. I agree, the Dolphins are in for a complete overhaul.
Cook: Arresting the man behind Chattanooga's gang truce
Can we get a piece from Cook on the man serving 1 whole year out of 20 in North Georgia, who then killed a man recently? Maybe he planned to put his (expletive) gun down, too.
Cook: When reason and handguns crash
Throw more money away, blame Whitey, cry racism, do you need more solutions?
Cook: When reason and handguns crash
Innocents are murdered every day in every country. The difference is in some countries, there is no adequate means of self protection. Calling the police after you've been shot in the head, stabbed in the heart, or clubbed in the skull, not an option.
Gerber: Headlines on state's violent crime do not tell whole story
PC, white guilty, or just plain stubbornness, Nuck will simply refuse to go along with you despite the evidence. It starts in the home, and the breakdown of homes.
5-at-10: Mailbag loaded with quarterbacks, questions and quick exits
The new slogan for the NFL bottom feeders has already been put out there, "Playing Dead for Ted"
The LB Crew will be back at Finley tomorrow, for what is pretty much a playoff game for the Mocs. Please, no letdowns.
Good call on avoiding any obvious headlines on the Mocs' Dee Virgin, a RS freshman, getting quick experience this year.
5-at-10: SEC items of interest, Fab-4-plus-1 picks and best/worst sportsmen in movies

The first decade of this century was a dud for job creation nationwide. With a weak recovery from the 2001 recession followed by the Great Recession, the nation as a whole gained almost no jobs during the decade (actually, there was a 0.3 percent increase). That made the aughts the first decade since the Great Depression without any substantial job growth.
But as with so many national statistics, this national average hides enormous regional variation. And since, for most people, job markets are regional, this regional variation really matters for working people. The map below shows what happened to employment in each of the nation's 100 largest metro areas from the end of 1999 to the end of 2009.
Metro areas in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions mainly lost jobs. Detroit lost the most, shedding about one out of every five jobs it had at the end of 1999. Metro areas in the South and West mostly gained jobs. McAllen, Texas, gained the most; it had more than 40 percent more jobs at the end of 2009 than at the end of 1999. Even places like Las Vegas and Orlando, hit hard by the collapse of their housing bubbles during the Great Recession, had double-digit job growth during the decade.
At first glance, the map looks like one that could have been drawn before the Great Recession. It shows the longstanding pattern of Sun Belt growth and Snow Belt decline. Does that mean that the Great Recession didn't affect the long-term pattern of regional growth?
Far from it. In parts of Great Lakes auto manufacturing country, the combination of the Great Recession with earlier long-term stagnation meant that employment at the end of 2009 was down to the levels of the 1980s. Youngstown had about as many jobs at the end of 2009 as it had at the beginning of 1983. In many of the metro areas with the biggest housing bubbles, which were growing at a torrid pace before those bubbles burst, the Great Recession erased four to eight years of job growth. Las Vegas had about as many jobs at the end of 2009 as it had at the end of 2004. And in many parts of the Sun Belt that never had a big housing bubble or housing bust, the Great Recession shaved off just a few years (and sometimes just a few months) of job growth. Austin and Virginia Beach had about the same number of jobs at the end of last year as they had in the middle of last year.
Ten Year Percent Change in Employment, 4th quarter of 1999 to 4th quarter of 2009

A limited quantity of pre-race pit passes are on-sale now to all Talladega Superspeedway ticket holders for only $50, an opportunity that was previously limited to hospitality and select tower seat purchasers.
"Imagine walking on the 50-yard line before a football game or running the bases before a baseball game," said Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch. "That's the kind of experience a pre-race pit pass gives you. Longtime fans and new fans are sure to enjoy walking pit road prior to the start of the Good Sam Club 500."
In addition the "field level" atmosphere, this is also a great opportunity for the shutterbug race fan. Crews will be setting up pit boxes and the starting grid will be rolling onto pit road providing amazing photo opportunities and an experience that is sure to last a lifetime.
Ticket holders can call the Talladega Superspeedway Ticket Office at 1-877-Go2-DEGA to secure pit-passes. Supplies are limited and expected to sell out before race weekend.

It was business as usual for the Oskaloosa City Council Monday evening. The council met in regular session with Mayor Dave Krutzfeldt presiding.
Among the items for the council's consideration was the approval of a site plan for the Oskaloosa dog park project. The plan previously was considered by the Oskaloosa Planning and Zoning Commission and approved with the following stipulations: provide five directional signs to the dog park, provide two directional signs to restrooms from the dog park, provide a total of four benches for the park (two for each section), provide a total of four dog waste stations (two for each section), provide ADA accessibility to the dog park with ADA signage. Project coordinator RD Keep was on hand at the meeting Monday to answer questions for the council.
During discussion, Keep noted that the board directing the project wishes to delay the ADA portion of the project until no later than July 1, 2015. He said they are requesting this so they can secure more funding for the project. After little discussion, the council approved the site plan with the stipulations attached as well as a delay of the ADA accessibility until 2015 on a 7-0 vote.
In other action, the council:
• Approved a resolution levying special assessment against private property for weed cutting violations on a 7-0 vote
• Received a report from MCDG director Andrew Jensen on the state of the local economy
• Approved the first reading of an ordinance amending Oskaloosa municipal code relating to permit connection charges on a 7-0 vote
The next meeting of the Oskaloosa City Council will be on November 3rd at 6 pm in the city council chambers.
The Mahaska County Board of
Supervisors met in regular session this morning. Among the items on the agenda
included a variety of secondary roads items as well as two closed sessions.
The board heard a report from
County Engineer Dave Shannahan on the current secondary roads construction
projects. Shannahan reported that his crews are currently working on 295th
street near Galeston Avenue. Shannhan said the crews are working on repairing
an old bridge. He said that the bridge should be opened up within a few weeks.
Shannahan also reported that
a road project near Taintor has been delayed. Crews hope to start on that
project is spring of next year. The project has been delayed by the contractor
due to summer rains tying up the contractor.
The board also held a closed
session to discussing an IT Coordinator hiring recommendation. After the
closed session, the board voted 3-0 to authorize supervisor Doland to
negotiate a contract with the unnamed candidate.
The board then went into
closed session to discuss litigation with RUSS (Regional Utility Support
System). The board has been in ongoing litigation with RUSS for several months
now. After the closed session, the board voted 3-0 to pay FY 201 membership
fees without penalty and to reappoint Supervisor Vander Molen to the RUSS
In other action, the board:

The next meeting of the
Mahaska County Board of Supervisors will be on November 3rd at 9 am
in the 3rd Floor Conference Room.
A former state employee has been charged in relation to an audit showing the alleged misappropriation of nearly $280,000. Jessica Strasser turned herself into state authorities at the Mahaska County Jail on Wednesday. She was booked into the jail and is being held on $25,000 bond.
According to trial information filed in Mahaska County District Court, Strasser is being charged with Theft in the First Degree and Ongoing Criminal Conduct. The theft charge is a Class C Felony while ongoing criminal conduct is a Class B felony.
An arraignment date has not been set.
On October 1st, the Auditor of State released a special audit on the operations of the Mahaska County Soil and Water Conservation District. The audit had been requested by officials with the Iowa Department of Agriculture due to concerns over the financial operations of the district.
The audit reported detailed what was identified as nearly $280,000 in improper disbursements and un-deposited collections. Disbursements included over $240,000 of cash withdrawn from the districts account. During the audit, it was found that Jessica Strasser's name was on the many of the receipts for cash withdrawal. Strasser resigned as District Secretary on August 9th, one day after being suspended by the district.
The investigation was conducted by the Oskaloosa Police Department and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The proposed Oskaloosa Dog Park was dealt a setback as site plans for the park were tabled Monday evening 10/13 at a regular meeting of the Oskaloosa Planning and Commission. Proposals for the dog park call for it to be built on nearly 1.5 acres of land just south of the Edmundson swimming pool.
RD Keep, a planning and zoning commissioner who is also heading up the project, took the floor during Monday's meeting to address concerns related to the project. One major concern expressed by commissioners was the proposed fence height for the dog park. According to site plans submitted, the park would be cordoned off into a section for large dogs and a section for small dogs. A four foot tall fence would also be placed around the park. Concerns were expressed that four feet would be too small of a fence for a dog park. Keep stated in response to these concerns that based on research done through the American Kennel Association as well as other communities with dog parks that four feet would be suitable for a fence height. He also mentioned that communities such as Iowa City and Ottumwa only have four foot high fences at their respective dog parks.
Commission members also discussed a request from the dog park committee to waive stipulations of rest rooms and drinking fountains being installed in the dog park. Keep stated that the waiver is being requested because it is not cost feasible for the committee to install restrooms and drinking fountains. He noted that a restroom installation alone could cost over $10,000. Keep also indicated that if required to put in the restrooms and water fountains, the committee would drop the project. The commission ultimately voted 6-0, with keep abstaining, to table the item. Commissioner Andrew Jansen said tabling the item would better allow commissioners as well as committee members to address their concerns with city staff. A special meeting will be called in the coming days to vote on the site plan.
In other action, the commission approve an alley vacation request at 1002 North 2nd Street. During discussion, no concerns were raised by commissioners and no members of the public spoke against the alley vacate request.
The commission also elected a new chair and vice chair. Current Commissioner Holden Barnhart was elected as Chair while new commissioner Pam Blomgren was elected Vice Chair.
The Oskaloosa Water Department will be conducting our bi-annual hydrant flushing beginning Monday October 13, 2014. This will last approximately two weeks. You may notice low pressure and cloudy or discolored water. The water, even though discolored, will remain safe to drink. Please refrain from washing laundry if you notice this change in your water, as staining is possible. The water should clear up as crews continue flushing. Our crews will be moving throughout various areas of town during this period. You can check out our Facebook page for daily updates on where the crews will be working that day to help you stay better informed. The Water Department would like to take the time to thank all of our customers in advance for being patient with us as we complete this task.
The Oskaloosa Water
Department is asking for public involvement on a survey they are conducting.
The Water Department is currently looking into the option of using online
bill payments for their customers and we would like feedback.
The Oskaloosa City Council rehashed previous items are their regular city council meeting Monday night. The council rehashed the issues of franchise fees, more specifically in raising them. At the September 15 city council meeting, the council voted 3-4 on the third reading not to raise the city's franchise fees. Councilors Moore, Van Zetten, Ver Steeg, and Walling had voted against raising the franchise fees at that meeting.
Since that meeting, Council member Scottie Moore indicated that she would like to have the item brought back for reconsideration. Mayor Dave Krutzfeldt also indicated the same. The item on Monday's agenda was merely to begin the process of reconsidering the franchise fees.
During discussion, councilor Aaron VerSteeg expressed concerns with the previously adopted revenue purpose statement pertaining to revenue from the franchise fees. Ver Steeg indicated he would like to have the term "economic development" removed the revenue purpose statement. City Manager Michael Schrock said that the revenue purpose statement would have to be reconsidered. Ultimately, the council voted 6-1 to reconsider raising the franchise fees. Councilor Jason Van Zetten voted against the item. As a result, at the next meeting, the city council will vote on scheduling a public hearing for November 3rd relating to raising the franchise fees. If that item passes, beginning on November 3rd, the council will have to pass three separate readings of the ordinance raising the franchise fees.
The council also voted to move forward with sidewalk improvements on Edmundson Drive. At the August 18 City council meeting, the council voted against a revised site plan for the Tuscany Village development which did not include a plan for sidewalks in front of the development. A council committee met on the matter and ultimately concluded that sidewalk improvements should be made. As a result, the council voted last night to approve a plan to place a sidewalk from the North Edge of the Tuscany Village sidewalks to the west entrance of the Edmundson Park. The estimated cost for the project will be around $13,000.
Prior to the regular meeting Monday, Mayor Dave Krutzfeldt swore in new police officer Branden Blanchard.
Blanchard is a William Penn University graduate who hails from Missouri. Blanchard began his duties as a police officer in September. He previously served as the community services officer from November 2013 through September.
The Mahaska Community Development Group (MCDG) recently released a new report that brings to light many interesting trends and startling facts about Mahaska County. The report, entitled State of the Local Economy: A Baseline Analysis of Mahaska County's Economy in 2014, is intended to provide information on local economic conditions to area leaders, residents, development organizations, and other community groups. One of the interesting findings is that Mahaska County has performed relatively well when evaluated against other similar communities across the state. The State of the Local Economy report can be found at www.teammahaska.org.
"Mahaska County continues to perform well compared to peer communities," stated MCDG Executive Director, Andrew Jensen. "Most micropolitan communities across Iowa have seen a slow to moderate decline in population, while Mahaska County continues to slowly increase. Additionally, the manufacturing sector in the county has performed exceedingly well over the past five years," he added. "In fact, the manufacturing sector not only provides approximately one in four jobs in the county, but has outperformed the state and the nation when it comes to job growth."
Jensen also recognized many areas where the county needs to improve, which includes addressing workforce issues, providing more quality housing, and expanding the retail sector. "One of the largest current issues for the county is workforce. Employers are having a difficult time trying to find and recruit high quality employees, and this will only become more acute as the more people reach retirement," Jensen added. "We have the jobs, but with low unemployment in the county and an aging workforce this will only become more pronounced." The report notes that developing more housing and expanding retail options are related to the workforce issues, as they are important factors in being able to recruit new employees.
Along with identifying areas for improvement through the report, MCDG has helped launch a new strategic planning initiative, the Mahaska Development Partners, intended to provide a renewed focus on economic development and community growth. The Mahaska Development Partners was formed by leaders from several local organizations with responsibility for economic development, including MCDG, Oskaloosa Area Chamber and Development Group (OACDG), Mahaska County Agricultural and Rural Development (MCARD), Main Street Oskaloosa, City of Oskaloosa, and Mahaska County.
"These organizations have worked closely together for many years, but the leaders took it upon themselves to craft a new vision and strategy for the community," said MCDG Chair, Beth Danowsky. "Forming the Mahaska Development Partners was the first step toward developing and eventually implementing the vision and strategy."
The Mahaska Development Partners have actually been meeting for several months putting together the process by which these different organizations can coordinate their activities while working toward a common vision for the community. Through the process thus far, the Mahaska Development Partners have established roles and responsibilities; identified each organization's assets and needs; and discussed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the community.
Community leaders have said that Mahaska County development organizations need to adapt their operational models to keep up with the quickening change of the world economy to which the local economy is increasingly intertwined. The outcome of this strategic planning process will be coordinated action plans for each development organization with a common vision for the community in mind.
Josh Buckingham, OACDG Chair and Main Street Oskaloosa President, added, "The timing of this strategic planning could not be better. This effort folds in nicely with the community branding and marketing effort led by Main Street with the assistance of the Roger Brooks International consulting team. We also have an opportunity to chart a new direction for the community with new leadership now onboard." The new leadership Buckingham referred to includes the three new director appointments made within the last nine months: Andrew Jensen as MCDG Executive Director, Karen Hafner as Main Street Oskaloosa Director, and Valinn McReynolds as OACDG Director.
Along with these directors, MCARD Director, Deann DeGroot, has also been heavily involved in the planning process. "It is great to see leaders from these various organizations working closely together. I think the community is going to be well served by the outcomes, but the challenge will be implementation of the strategic plans."
The next steps in this strategic planning process are to finalize community priorities and to develop the action plans based on those priorities. The community priorities, already in development, will be released in the coming weeks. To define the action plans, MCDG has contracted with the University of Northern Iowa's (UNI) Institute for Decision Making (IDM) to facilitate the conversation. Drew Conrad, with UNI IDM, will be in Oskaloosa at the beginning of October and will work with MCDG through the end of the year.
Once action plans are complete, the idea is to gather all of the boards for the Mahaska Development Partner organizations for a joint meeting where each organization will roll out its action plan. This will allow each board to understand what the other organizations are doing to push toward the common community vision. Then, as DeGroot stated, the challenge turns toward implementation, which will involve a host of actions each targeted toward the community priorities.
A special audit released by Auditor of State Mary Moisman has identified nearly $280,000 of improper disbursements and
un-deposited collections at the Mahaska County Soil and Water Conservation District.
The report identified over $37,000 of un-deposited collections which were redeemed for cash or cash withheld from checks being deposited. It cannot be determined if additional collections were not properly deposited because adequate records for receipts were not available, the report says.
Included in the report was a letter from Strasser in which Strasser says she takes responsibility for her actions.
A copy of the report has been filed with the Mahaska County Attorney's office, the Attorney General's office, the division of criminal investigation, and the US Department of Agriculture Officer of Inspector General. No criminal charges have been filed.
Oskaloosa School Board members met in special session Tuesday to discuss the comprehensive assessment with consultant Tony VanderZyl. The board met for about 90 minutes asking several pointed questions in evaluating the data released this past spring.
Good news for those looking to get around town this October: Oskaloosa Rides is free of charge on Fridays next month.
Oskaloosa Rides, the new fixed-route bus service, began in July with a goal of meeting transportation needs. Hundreds of people in Oskaloosa don't have regular access to a vehicle and can struggle to get to places offering healthcare, retail and human services.
"We have a long way to go in making it common place in Oskaloosa," says Amy Langdon, director of the United Way of Mahaska County and Oskaloosa Rides organizer. "Using public transportation is not something everyone's 100% comfortable doing just yet. But we're hoping with Free Fridays and different promotions, we'll be able to show people just how easy it is to use Oskaloosa Rides."
The first step is just getting people through the bus door. Langdon says once they trust it to be convenient and reliable, more people will use it to meet their transportation needs.
Free Fridays will run in all five Fridays in October.

Teen killed in car collision in eastern Iowa
CALAMUS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say an 18-year-old has been killed after his vehicle collided with a semitrailer in eastern Iowa.
The Clinton County Sheriff's Office says the crash happened Monday afternoon on Highway 30 near Calamus. A car traveling east on the highway collided with the semitrailer, which was traveling west.
The driver of the semitrailer told authorities the smaller car crossed the center line before the crash. The driver of the smaller vehicle, Connor A. Robinson, of Oceanside, California, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the semitrailer, 57-year-old Anthony M. Zappa, of Forest Lake, Minnesota, was not hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.

Thankful for Thankfulnessby Adam Mabry | Posted on Thursday, October 16th, 2014 | | no responses
A while back, I found myself in a deep, dark, depressive sadness that I could neither explain nor escape. If you know me, you'll know that I'm not the type given to soul-sadness. I'm generally a pretty energetic, happy, passionate guy. But, there I was, filled with self-pity, fear, and anger. Probably, I'm not the only one with emotions I can't explain. Probably, you've woken up on the wrong side of the bed before — maybe even for weeks in a row. Probably, you've been jealous of others whilst pitying yourself. How do you escape?

Aolingh , 2 months agoNot a fan. The flavors just seemed mismatched and the sauce ended up tasting really bad.
willsm , 2 months agoDELICIOUS!!! I love making this dish. It's much better if you just brown the chicken on both sides in the skillet. Let it finish cooking in the oven so the chicken will still be juicy. I also makes my own alfredo sauce which makes it taste even better. Yum!
EmilyAnderson17 , 2 months ago

layla_brogden , 4 months agoThis recipe was lovely, changed it quite a bit to work with what I had. I added mushrooms and just a cup of normal cheese on top.

MonicaQuach , 4 months agoToo cheesy and greasy. ): But boyfriend liked it.
avelinaechavarria , 4 months agoThis was so amazing!!!!
gauby , 9 months agoI changed this up a bit but husband and I love this basic idea. I added broccoli, red pepper and sun dried tomatoes sautéing all with the chicken in a tablespoon of oil. Skipped the mayo too. Probably still heavy on fat, but delicious.

Near to Vatican Very helpful reception staff Good wifi
Breakfast not great unless you were there at 07.30 Waitress at breakfast unhelpful Road outside hotel dirty with lost of rubbish
nice hotel very friendly staff
We stayed for 4 nights in hotel Alessandrino. We really loved this little hotel located on a hill in front of the Vatican. Good starting pony to explore the city, bus 64 will take you to the highlights. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating, and assisting helpfully to my husband's birthday surprise. The view from the terrace top is stunning, we really loved to spend there late afternoon hours while sipping some wine.
The only remark we can mention is related to the breakfast selection. Which is basic at the very least and lacking quality.
Conveniently location near Vatican city. Staff was very friendly. Value for money.
The breakfast was good, special the Capuccino coffee, delicius.
The AC fail, but they fixed the same day.
staff were really nice and the location is very good. lovely hotel over all
the breakfast is very poor. everyday the same fruit or cereal. no choice at all. a pity really
frendly staff, good location, well equipment
Some employees were great. Rooftop is worth of its reviews.
Most employees were awfully rude. Breakfast was awful. Its not -close- to the Vatican, its near but not close. Anyone above 30 years old would not walk those hills and thousands steps.
breakfast was little bit poor by choice, also fresh fruits were missing
Very good location toVaticano, just a few minutes by foot. Station is close
Difficult to find, had to call operator, bouth a map, but street is so short that not even mentioned on the map! Ask people around.
The hotel was within walking distance from the Vatican and easy access to local public transport. Roof top terrace lovely in an evening.
At the morning you wake up to the birds singing. Breakfast was nice.
Location is very difficult to find even with a map.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They greeted us each time we arrived, made dinner recommendations and reservations for us.
Very close to Vaticano
The Wc are tooooo small The breakfast in the pictures is totally different from reality
The staff were polite and always very helpful. The breakfast was good value, room was okay. View from the roof was amazing !!
No tea/coffee making facilities. Too much of a walk from Vatican & gets steeper the nearer you get to hotel, not for the unhealthy. Tv not great and wi-fi was terrible.
Staff was really helpfulL and nice , rooms been tidy , value for money was really good .It's really close to Vatican which means locations is brilliant :) For sure we will come back there next year !!!!!
The staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean.
It was a little awkward to find and the stations we had to travel to to get there were very run down not that thats the hotels fault.
The staff is very good.The hotel is clean, the breakfast is good. Just a bit difficult to find the hotel because it is in small road.
Parking was hard to find.
Everything ! Lovely breakfast , pleasant staff and clean , quiet hotel. I highly recommend.
Location- very handy for St Peters and transport links into central Rome Helpful staff Lovely roof terrace on top floor.
Very basic facilities- no bar or even anywhere to get a coffee except at breakfast Room airless and overheated. Advertised as air conditioned but it definitely wasn't. Bathroom tiny and dark. VERY thin walls- you can hear everything from the next room, especially in the bathroom.
Nice view from the spacious rooms. Great location if want to visit the Vatican.
Location was excellent, close to everythig
Bed was not comfortable, I requested a double bed and got 2 twin beds put together. Everytime you moved on the bed there was noise from either the mattress or box spring which woke you up
On arrival we were welcomed and told that parking in the road outside was perfectly adequate. The hotel was clean and rooms were ok for a 1 night stay with 3 children and 2 adults per room. Breakfast was basic but did the trick.
A little way out of the way but was easy to walk to the vatican area - although could be a little scary at night. We were a group of 2 families so 10 together wasnt too bad. Parking could be a problem.
Good value for money, Great staff, Excellent breakfast, convenient location
