Back in March, the Yale Sustainable Food Project sent 6 of our student interns to the Connecticut winter conference for the Northeast Organic Farming Association. Our students have pulled together their thoughts, which we will be sharing with you in small posts throughout the rest of the week. Kicking it off is Sophie Mendelson BK '15. Sophie writes:
"In his keynote address, Fred Kirschenmann took some time to emphasize what he sees as the importance of the arts to the alternative food movement. If we can't imagine a better future, Kirschenmann noted, we will only continue to hold on tightly to what we have - and what we have isn't working. This remark reminded me of something that Mark Bomford, director of the YSFP, brought up a couple of weeks ago in his seminar on sustainable food and agriculture. What we have over the industrial food system is narrative. Numbers and data are important, but stories are what can really get under our skins and begin to change the way that we think. So if we can tell a better story than industrial agriculture - if we can imagine a better future than what they're offering - then maybe we actually stand a chance in this David-and-Goliath style face off."
A Tale of Two Berkshires: finding common ground
What I first saw looked like a scene from a Norman Rockwell: 70-year-old farmers and their families gathered around picnic tables, making small talk, as the hosts put the final touches on the buffet just a few yards away in the sugar house. As in a classic painting of New England farmers, these men wore overalls and leather boots. Many had hearing aids, and some walked with canes. These were not the new farmers of my generation, setting up shop in this region in a quest to return to the land as their parents or more likely their grandparents did. These were not the farmers you would read about in glossy New York Times Magazine articles, or hear their stories on your local NPR station. No, these were the farmer-members of the Berkshires chapter of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau, the state chapter of the national Farm Bureau. And I, as a representative of Berkshire Grown, the local food umbrella organization I was working for this past summer, had stumbled into their annual summer legislative picnic, to listen to their concerns, and share what Berkshire Grown was doing to better our local food system.
I quickly realized that these were not farmers I had previously met. I had spent the last few weeks criss-crossing the Berkshires, meeting with Berkshire Grown members from every corner of the county. Small-scale blueberry producers, five-acre veggie farms and grass-fed beef operations – I had become acquainted with the local agriculture scene in the Berkshires, one that is mostly boutique, small-scale, and often-times removed from much of the population that lives in the region. But these farmers were different. They were the Larkins who had been dairy farming in Sheffield since the 1800s, and ran one of the largest (industrial) dairy operations in the region. They were the Leabs (who hosted the picnic at their Ioka Valley Farm) who raise cattle on GMO feed. I so hate to use the word "real," but I can't lie: Throughout the event, I kept telling myself, "these are real farmers."
The food that they brought to the potluck picnic made this point clear: These farmers weren't interested in a boutique local food system – they didn't choose to farm in the Berkshires because it was a hip thing to do. They had been farming in the hills of Western Massachusetts for generations, and are completely different from the back-to-the-land farms down the road from them that Berkshire Grown mostly represents. It's like comparing Chicago deep-dish pizza and New York thin crust pizza. I can't argue that one is better than the other; both types of farms are feeding people, they just have totally different missions.
I found myself caught in the crossfire of farmers and politicians – never a pleasant place to be – that sunny July afternoon at Ioka Valley Farm in Hancock. After we (the farmers, organization representatives like myself, and politicians) had helped ourselves to the heaping stacks of food – GMO corn that was the sweetest I ever had, green bean casserole, homemade and likely-not-organic pickles, etc – we listened to speeches from the various politicians in attendance. Soon after members of the Berkshire delegation to the Massachusetts State House and Senate started speaking about their efforts pertaining to food/agriculture, farmers immediately started voicing their concerns about the recent GMO labeling propositions. One farmer blurted out, in the middle of a politician's speech, "Just because those New York City second home folks are willing to pay more for their food doesn't make it fair to the rest of us locals! We all use GMO feed and they better get used to it. No one knows what real farming is all about!"
This summed up the day for me. There I was, wearing my Berkshire Grown hat, driving my hybrid car, and thinking I knew it all about the local food system, but it was pretty clear I didn't. It's a complicated issue, and too often, we think by farming on a small-scale, we're saving the world. We have to remember: There are folks out there who have been farming a lot longer than us, who are deeply set in their ways, and are feeding a lot of people. I'm not defending industrial agriculture by any means. All I'm saying is that it's time we start looking at the bigger picture.

Yale Food Systems Symposium – Forecasting and the Food System
This recent article in the New York Times describes the IPCC's (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) most recent scientific understanding of the risk climate change will pose to our global food supply As a Geology & Geophysics major focusing on climate, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the reciprocal relationship between our systems of food production and changing climate, and how we can modify our agriculture system to mitigate rather than contribute to climate change. Last week at the first Yale Food Systems Symposium, I witnessed a discussion that looked at the relationship between climate and agriculture from a different angle—how can we adapt our systems of food production to the inevitable warming we will continue to face for hundreds of years into the future? The panel, called "Forecasting and the Food System," included four speakers that discussed the ways that communities, farmers, and scientists in different parts of the world—from India to Vermont—are thinking about and adapting to changes in weather and climate.
Of the four speakers, Ethan Butler's talk was the most compelling. Ethan is a 6th year graduate student at Harvard University in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department. He presented the warming projections from the last IPCC report and explained the phenomenon of committed warming. What this means is that even if we stop emissions of greenhouse gases today, the time lag between increased concentrations of these gases and rising temperatures means that we will continue to have temperatures far above those today for hundreds of years into the future. While this certainly will have far-reaching impacts beyond those we can comprehend today, Ethan's talk confronted the facts with ways we can adapt our food system to these inevitable changes.
Ethan's work focuses on historical evolutionary adaptations to changing climate that have occurred in crops and how these adaptations can help us understand agricultural responses to future climate changes. His talk at the Food Systems Symposium focused on US maize, looking at the different strains of corn in the various climate zones of the US. Corn varieties have naturally adapted to local conditions of water shortage or high winds, for example, and we can take advantage of these adaptations by adjusting the food crops grown in different zones to better fit the changing observed and projected temperatures.
Instead of the fear and bleak outlook that can easily pervade discussions of climatic effects on agriculture, Ethan's focus on adaptation gives us some agency over our future and provides a meaningful strategy to confront the inevitable problem. Although it is only a part of the solution, this kind of adaptation will be necessary to provide enough food for rising populations. Many countries are beginning to confront this issue, as described in the New York Times article:
The [IPCC] report finds that efforts to adapt to climate change have already begun in many countries. President Obama signed an executive order on Friday to step up such efforts in the United States. But these efforts remain inadequate compared with the risks, the report says, and far more intensive — and expensive — adaptation plans are likely to be required in the future.
While my focus will continue to be on agricultural strategies to mitigate climate change, Ethan's presentation increased my awareness of the ways we can adapt our food system to the inevitable changes we are beginning to experience. Both of these approaches will be important in producing food in our warming world.

New Entry and Food Access in Boston
Events Intern Jake Wolf-Sorokin '16 discusses his work with New Entry, a nonprofit serving the Greater Boston Area and questions his own food choices.
Up until leaving for college, I had spent my entire life living in the greater Boston area. For the first 18 years of my life, I knew one farmer by name: my uncle who raised lamb in rural Minnesota. Once I began thinking about the sources of food, it became hard to escape. Where had that tomato I'd eaten on my sandwich at lunch every day—even during New England's winter—actually come from? Who picked it? Were they treated fairly? Was it organic? If not, what kinds of chemicals was it grown with? How was it shipped to Boston? Would the label tell me anything? Why couldn't I find out all this information? What structural systems was I supporting by taking a bite out of that tomato? And couldn't I be asking these questions about everything I eat?
The lack of connection to my food—one of life's vital ingredients—began to really unsettle me. It seemed every question, generated three more until I'd cast aside the tomato, the lettuce, the turkey and the sprouts. All that was left of my lunch were two pieces of sourdough bread. I'd decided they were ok since they came from a bakery near my home that got its flour from an organic grower in New York. That's when I began to see food consumption as a political act. In the short term, as someone living in an urban area, I lacked a means of escaping this food system. Without eating sandwiches like the one I described, I'd have trouble living. But by seeking answers to my questions and making efforts to change my habits, I'd be able to make some progress on a longer timescale. And that's why I decided to intern at the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, an organization dedicated to helping aspiring organic farmers open viable farms near urban areas in Eastern Massachusetts.
Through my work, I had the chance to meet scores of small farmers aiming to make local farming the norm—or at least more common—again in America. "My goal for the future is to continue farming and to continue to supply people in the community," Bessie Tsimba—one of these farmers—told me. She moved to the United States from Zimbabwe in 1988. Like most immigrants, Bessie arrived without much land—let alone enough to begin a garden or farm. So for 20 years, Bessie—like most Americans—cooked with grains and vegetables bought at the grocery store. Over time she began to see farming as a reminder of home and a way to promote healthy eating.
In 2009, Bessie seized upon her renewed interest in farming and began a small-scale organic farm. "It's something we grew up doing back home and I benefit from eating organic," she said. Five years into her endeavor, Bessie sells her produce to a cooperative CSA and to many of her friends who also came to America from Zimbabwe. "I know the things they miss [from] back home," Bessie told me. By growing maize and other crops common in Africa, but harder to find in the United States, Bessie has created a community around her farm.
Her optimism inspired me. Like many of the farmers trained by New Entry, Bessie didn't have the means to give up her other job to farm full time. And despite five years of effort, she does not ever expect her farm to become her principal income. Bessie's belief in the importance of food as a means of enriching culture and community motivates her.
As an organization, New Entry aims to ensure its farmers have a guaranteed source of income by operating a cooperative CSA. Although this CSA does not provide enough income to support a full time farmer, the World PEAS CSA represents a good first opportunity for many new farmers. Over the last 15 years, New Entry has helped to dramatically increase the ranks of urban, organic farmers in Eastern Massachusetts through its farmer training programs. Yet challenges remain: given the dense population of the region, the sum total of food produced by all these farmers represents a small fraction of the food needed to sustain all of the areas residents.
After spending a summer conducting farmer interviews for an analysis of New Entry's success and working to promote the cooperative CSA, I left feeling both inspired and realistic. Centering our food system on sustainability and community health will require a dramatic change in our society's understanding of what it means to consume food. Yet through the dedicated, passionate work of individuals like Bessie Tsimba and organizations like New Entry, these seeds of change in the food system are beginning to grow. Realigning our food system around sustainability and community health will require the collective effort of many individuals, beginning with a desire to understand the nuances of the connection between the food we consume and its source.
Sustainable Pasture Management in Kyrgyzstan
Events intern Caroline Tracey '14 spent her summer on an environmental fellowship studying pasture management in Kyrgyzstan. Here, she muses on her Russian lit background and the sociopolitical controversies that shape the country's agricultural landscape.
I spent a month of this summer in Kyrgyzstan, the former Soviet republic nestled between China and Kazakhstan. It was clear to me before I arrived that environmental issues were at the forefront of the minds of the people in the country. For one thing, less than a month before my visit to Kyrgyzstan, a large riot broke out at the Kumtor mine, a gold mine on the south side of Lake Issyk-Kul. The mine accounts for 12% of the country's GDP, but is owned and managed by a Canadian company. About 1,000 people, some arriving on horseback, camped out for days and blockaded the road from the mine to Bishkek, calling for Kyrgyzstan to receive a bigger share of the mine's profits.
My studies as a Russian literature major have focused on Russian writers' treatment of landscape: how authors understand vast, unending landscapes; what kind of culture and specific experiences develop in places marked by vastness. I have also versed myself in the contemporary environmental challenges that come with these kinds of landscapes. During my trip this summer, I planned to find out how the country's pastoral heritage was faring in the modern economy.
Horse supplies at Osh Bazaar in Bishkek
Flying into Bishkek delighted me: it felt like flying into Denver, where I grew up. Tall, snow-capped (even in July) mountains are visible in the distance, and the flat, brown land that holds the airport and the city slides up to meet them. From the plane window I could see both dry and irrigated fields; windbreaks; and small reservoirs. There were fewer roads than I was used to; the land wasn't gridded, as the whole middle of America is, and so the fields took stranger shapes, strips and trapezoids. On the drive into the city, I drove by a young boy herding goats with a stick, and I realized there wasn't going to be any shortage of interesting things to learn about pasture agriculture.
Here's what I found out:
With the breakup of the Soviet Union, the land and livestock holdings of collective farms were parceled out to their employees based on seniority. This immediately led to crisis: most employees had held positions unrelated to animal husbandry - they had been drivers or bookkeepers - and were unprepared to manage their own farm animals. Most - seventy percent, a pasture manager later estimated to me - floundered. Their animals died, and they lost their chance at financial solvency in the new economy. To make matters worse, those that did succeed in raising their animals met the harsh reality of the new system: they worked all year only to sell their animals at market for a price so low it often wasn't even a profit. Now, the prices are better, thanks to consumers from Kazakhstan, where the economy is much stronger, crossing the border to buy animals in cheaper Kyrgyzstan. The increased demand means that Kyrgyz people have a financial incentive to go into agriculture - farmers in the villages often make more money than middle-class people in Bishkek.
Abandoned Collective Farm
Kyrgyz "farmers" are more like what we would refer to as ranchers (if you want to talk about vegetable or fruit farmers, you have to specify). They raise animals, and sell them at large, open-air markets. During the winter months, their animals are in their villages' town pastures, either within the town or just outside of it, and during the summer months, they bring their animals (along with the animals of other villagers who have paid them to look after their animals for the summer) to the rural pasture. The rural pastures are mountain camps where the farmers live in yurts with their families while the animals graze the high range.
Talas Livestock Market
Unloading bulls from the mountain pastures for sale at the market
The requirement to bring their animals up to rural pastures, I learned, is one of a group of radical changes to pasture law that were enacted beginning in 2009. Kyrgyzstan was one of the only meat-producing countries in the Soviet Union, and as a result of always-increasing demands from distant Moscow, the country left the USSR highly overgrazed. Until 2009, when the country really began to gain some traction on the challenges of privatization, pastures were private. Now, with the new pasture law, the land is government owned again, and pastures are managed by a village committee. Each town has been assigned a piece of rural pasture that corresponds with the size of the village. The "closed," or "winter," pastures within or nearby the towns are not to be used during the summer, so that they can recover from the last year of use.
Highway overlooking government pastures
Sheep running in on the rural pasture
Before I had learned about the distinction between rural and closed pastures, I experienced the distinction firsthand, by being in transit between the two. Having approached a tunnel through a mountain pass, my minibus back from Talas found itself stopped at the entrance, along with a parking lot's worth of cars. Finally, fifteen confused minutes later, a man on horseback emerged from the dark opening. He was followed by a whole large herd of horses, who tried their best to follow his lead and navigate their way through the herd of cars.
So you can imagine it made sense to me when the pasture manager of the town of Barskoon explained that the reason that people hadn't made sufficient use of the rural pastures until they were required to by law was that there was not sufficient infrastructure to reach the rural pastures. 2 million som, he said, or about $40,000 - a very large sum of money in Kyrgyzstan, where the middle class makes about $160 per month - has been marked for new bridges to the rural pastures. It remains to be seen, however, whether that money will make it through the government's extreme corruption.
As I talked to more and more people in Kyrgyzstan about pasture management, I came to the most surprising conclusion I could have: pasturing seems to be moving in a good direction. Certainly it would be hard to create a system that does more damage than the Soviet Union's system. But I am disposed to expect that the arc towards capitalism is an unstoppable and destructive force, and the Kyrgyz people proved me wrong. They tried out privatizing their pasture land, and fifteen years later returned to a system of the commons. The pasture committee system is still young, and the law still needs changes, but the new system stipulates an attitude toward rangeland that shares both resources and responsibility.
When I describe this, I am reminded of a presentation I saw at the forestry school as part of its grasslands lunch series three years ago. It was on the "buffalo commons," an idea published in Planning magazine in the 1980's, suggesting that the emptying American prairie should be returned to buffalo rangeland. The idea was virulently rejected. But yesterday I read in the High Country News that Montana is slowly introducing free-ranging bison. Perhaps with enough committed minds, the commons - east and west - will get their chance to succeed.
Farm intern Maya Binyam '15 on what her Ethiopian father taught her about what it means to depend on the land:
Boston is a cold city. In the winter months a biting humidity saturates the air, threatening to freeze car locks and the tips of hair. The sunlight is static, even in the summer, and reflects but never warms.
In this landscape of fractured water and light, my father attempted to make a home. He cranked up the heat and filled the rooms of our house with things he knew would never survive outside—dainty potted basil plants, an ugly bulb too big for its pot. He was proud of this thing he had created for us—this warm oasis—because it meant we were no longer affected by Boston's characteristically sporadic temperature declines, its unexpected noreasters. We were comfortable.
After a few months he stopped watering the plants. The leaves wilted and eventually turned brittle, but this was something to be proud of. We had begun cultivating things outside of the home, things more important than plants. We were going somewhere.
"It turns out that fertiliser can be as deadly as a pesticide."
That phrase— not even a whole sentence— is slipped quietly into this little piece about new technology that will help weed and thin lettuce beds on massive conventional farms in California's Central Valley. The machine in question has found a way to put fertilizer's deadly strength to good use, its makers claim: by spreading it directly on unwanted plants, it first kills competition and then provides nutrients to the surrounding survivors.
It seems to me, though, that this idea raises a number of questions relevant to the state of agriculture as a whole; for starters, why are we putting poisonously strong chemicals onto our food and our land? Issues with fertilizer runoff are numerous and well-documented, including everything from tainting groundwater to creating massive dead zones along nearby coastlines; soils managed with chemical fertilizers have been proven to fare very poorly under conditions of drought and flood (the coming effects of climate change, which is caused at least in part by manufacturing chemical fertilizer and then using fossil-fueled machines to spread it). A system that insists on a fertility source that is in every way toxic can't possible be in very good shape.
There is also a larger question, though, raised by the notion that we need technology to do this work in the first place. The current system is inefficient because "labourers, who tend to be paid per acre, not per hour, have little incentive to pay close attention to what they pull from the ground, often leading to unnecessary waste." The modern tendency is to view jobs like this one as irredeemably menial, and so to compensate them minimally (if at all) and try to tech them out of existence. For a country in the middle of an employment crisis, this seems like a shortsighted way of thinking about things. What if we took manual labor seriously, protecting workers and paying them a fair wage, making it possible for them to take real pride in their jobs? Agriculture is tough work but it's absolutely crucial, and there's no reason to continue to treat it as if it were an expendable process.
This is not to say that technology is inherently evil, or that we shouldn't be modernizing and mechanizing at all— it's only to suggest a more comprehensive way of thinking about where technology and agriculture meet might benefit workers in the field as well as the land they tend. Especially given this report that increasing wages for food workers, which includes field hands, would only cost the rest of us a dime a day.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport
- h
- h3llbringer Feb 8, 2013 07:06 AM
Greetings from Toronto!
I'm going to be stopping over in YUL for a couple hours next week, right around dinner time, and was wondering how the food selection is in the airport.
I'll be flying from Toronto to Washington D.C., so I assume I will have access to both the Transborder areas and Domestic areas, as well as the public area.
(disclaimer, I don't really eat at airports, only nibles )
I've been to "Cabine M" (international section) twice, and gotten crappier in time (ordinary food served by ordinary people).
In the US section, there's "Lester's Deli Express" for your smoked meat fix.
There's a "Wienstein & Gavino" that should have potable food.
Other than that, really ordinary food.
After you clear US customs & immigration and enter the secure area, the options are few and very expensive.
In the public area, there's a St. Hubert BBQ. This might actually be one of the better options in the whole damn airport, which should tell you something, i.e., pack a sandwich before leaving home.
re: Mr F
Ditto the public area. There are decent options there. Boulangerie de Montréal in the departures area makes fantastic gourmet sandwiches and salads.
Here is the list of restaurants at the airport and their area:
"Moe's deli and bar" is in the domestic terminal. It once was one of the first family friend "resto-bar" concepts in montreal. I haven't tried the airport version but I am sure it is decent enough. The same terminal houses a "Java-U" which is an upscale montreal coffee chain with decent sandwiches and wraps. There are a few chains in the international terminal like Houstons (southern but not really) and Weinstein and Gavinos (italian but not really). As you might imagine, they're both over priced and mediocre.
re: catroast
According to EaterBob's link there's no Java U in the transborder area, so this is moot for the OP, but I'd call the place upscale the way Starbucks is upscale: a notch or two above Tim Horton's or Subway, but hardly fancy.
Regarding the airport locations, I don't know about the one in the domestic departures area, but the one in the international area is a tiny kiosk that suffers long lines and/or slim pickings, especially in the evening. I'd keep it as a last-resort option, but never plan on eating there.
re: Mr F
he's arriving at the domestic terminal
aside from the fact that upscale is a relative term, i find it ironic that the nitpickers here can't pick apart nuances. java u and starbucks are dissimilar. Java-U in many respects is a fast-casual restaurant. When paired with its core coffee business, it is completely legitimate to call it an upscale coffee shop.
re: catroast
I stand corrected, the OP would be able to go there before going to US customs etc.
Did I say Java U was interchangeable with Starbucks? No, I said they were about the same degree of "upscale", and that remains my opinion, especially when we're talking about the little kiosk in the international area. Nothing upscale about it, except the prices.
Here is the complete list of restaurants
And I would agree with everyone so far as to it all being mediocre and overpriced. Just from scanning things, I would suggest trying the restaurant in the Airport Marriott Hotel.
re: jfprieur
there's free internet at least
Having spent far too much time in airports lately, IMHO the best option at YUL is the MB&Co in the public area. The kiosks in the US departures area (Lester's, Weinstein & Gavino's, etc.) close very very early - when I was there last week at 6:30 pm, they were locking up, so don't count on them for dinner. The Montana's in the US departures area has edible burgers, if you desperately want a burger.
And for those who think YUL has third-rate food, have you been to Pearson lately? It makes YUL look like a gourmet paradise...
re: cherylmtl
At least when leaving from YUL, we can enjoy our own food in the food court area and nobody bothers us about it. I buy a coffee from Brûlerie St-Denis and sit there for as long as I want with a good sandwich and salad I've packed myself. Pearson has nowhere to eat one's own food.
I find YUL far less crappy since the recent renovations.
Tatami sushi offers decent sushi for this type of operations, especially at peak times since they are fresh
The bagel bar is also good, fresh daily st-viateur bagels either plain with cream cheese, or in sandwiches. - Both located on the transborder side
As for how the airport ranks in term of food offerings, it is much better than many us airports (even bigger ones -La Guardia is a wasteland imo) and even compared to some similarly sized euro airports
re: westaust
I second the Tatami sushi recommendation. YUL definitely lacks good food options, but considering I am often disappointed when eating sushi in Montreal, I was pleasantly surprised to find this sushi joint, which offers decent sushi for ok prices (still airport prices, but not as bad when you compare them to $12 bagel sandwiches.
Granted, the bagel sandwiches are quite good (and put anything sold at *both* LGA and JFK to shame), just too expensive compared to what one finds downtown (and not as fresh).
re: alinemramos
Is it the same Tatami as the outlets in mall food courts? There is a Tatami in Carrefour Laval that is decent.
re: hungryann
Sound like it. From memory, their decor is the same.

(WKBW release) The following is the summary of the April 3 meeting of the City of Buffalo Common Council.
SUPPORT FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF A CHILDREN'S MUSEUM EXPERIENCE AT CANALSIDE – The Council adopted a resolution sponsored by Council President and Lovejoy District Council Member Richard A. Fontana and Ellicott District Council Member Darius G. Pridgen applauding the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation ("ECHDC") for the inclusion of a children's museum experience in their plans for the City of Buffalo's waterfront within Canalside.
The Canalside Project, a major component of the redevelopment of the City's waterfront, offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a truly vibrant, mixed-use, urban entertainment destination. Over $50 million of federal and state funds have already been spent on infrastructure work, public amenities and programming to draw residents and visitors to the area. Recently, a master plan completed by Lord Cultural Resources and Ralph Applebaum Associates recommended a children's museum experience as the top priority for Canalside.
A children's museum would have year-round and weekend appeal for families, as well as provide complementary opportunities for retail, food service and corporate partnerships. The Council welcomes the inclusion of local businesses and established cultural entities at Canalside, and encourages ECHDC to continue advancing the cultural review and operator selection process so that a children's museum experience can become a permanent amenity on the City's waterfront.
ILLEGALLY PLACED ADVERTISING SIGNS – The Council approved a resolution sponsored by Ellicott District Council Member Darius G. Pridgen stating the Council's opposition to businesses that advertise unlawfully in the City of Buffalo and directing the City of Buffalo Department of Permit and Inspection Services to take action against any business that unlawfully places signage on City property or otherwise advertises illegally.
Recently, many residents have been complaining about signs being posted throughout the City advertising the sale of furniture. The signs are made to appear handwritten and include information about the merchandise that is for sale as well as a phone number, but do not identify the business that they are associated with. These signs have become visual clutter, are obstructing sidewalks and are not being removed upon being damaged. Furthermore, these signs create a safety hazard for motorists and cyclists when they are found lying in roadways. The Council maintains that the public has the right to use City streets and sidewalks without physical obstruction and without being subjected to unattractive visual clutter. The Common Council supports businesses that advertise, but insists that they do so in accordance with all applicable laws and requirements.
LICENSING FOR BUSINESSES OPERATING OUT OF MOTOR VEHICLES – The Council adopted a resolution sponsored by Ellicott District Council Member Darius G. Pridgen directing the City of Buffalo Corporation Counsel to research legal mechanisms for regulating mobile and/or transient businesses. The resolution proposes that mobile business operators be registered with the City of Buffalo, that they be required to obtain and carry a Mobile Business License and/or Permit, and that they be restricted from occupying public parking spaces for more than the maximum allotted time. The City of Buffalo has seen an increase in the number of businesses being operated from motor vehicles, some of which are operating lawfully and some of which are not.
Mobile businesses that might be covered by the proposed regulations include food trucks, food stands, Christmas tree stands, produce and flower vendors, bail bondsmen, appliance/electronics sales people and clothing merchants. Except for mobile food trucks, the City of Buffalo does not currently issue specific licenses or permits to those who desire to operate a commercial business directly out of their vehicle. The anticipated benefits of legislation to regulate mobile businesses include safeguarding the public from illegal and unscrupulous vendors, freeing up prime parking spaces for residents and visitors that are currently being occupied for entire days by mobile businesses and providing oversight of mobile businesses that are not currently regulated under state or federal law.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS PROJECT —The Council adopted a resolution sponsored by Niagara District Council Member David A. Rivera recognizing People United for Sustainable Housing ("PUSH") as the designated developer and site operator of three City-owned properties: 99 Chenango Street, 335 Massachusetts Avenue and 339 Massachusetts Avenue.
The Council supports the mission of PUSH and recognizes the improvements they have made to the City's West Side as a conscientious housing developer. PUSH is currently in the process of securing funding for its Massachusetts Avenue Sustainable Neighborhoods Project, which will result in the development of 5 units of high-quality, affordable rental housing units on the West Side.
TRAYVON MARTIN INVESTIGATION – The Council adopted a resolution sponsored by Ellicott District Council Member Darius G. Pridgen supporting an aggressive investigation into the circumstances and facts involved in the killing of Trayvon Martin to ensure that justice prevails. On February 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old high school student, was shot and killed in a gated community in Sanford, Florida. Protests have sprung up across the country, as well as on social media outlets, in response to the incident and on sites like Facebook and Moveon.org almost 1.2 million people have signed an online petition demanding the arrest of the assailant, George Zimmerman.
In addition, organizations like the National Urban League, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ("NAACP"), National Action Network and others have marched in cities nationwide including New York, Chicago, Norfolk, Sanford and, most recently, here in the City of Buffalo. As a diverse law making body composed of Members with various ethnic backgrounds and political affiliations, the Council supports calls for a more complete and thorough investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
TRAILBLAZING SIGN—The Council approved a resolution sponsored by Majority Leader and Masten District Council Member Demone A. Smith to allow for the installation of trailblazing signs in honor of Grover Sr. and Lillian Washington at 377 Glenwood Avenue. Grover Sr. and Lillian Washington are City of Buffalo residents who have set a positive example for their community through their tireless work ethic and dedication to raising a family of three great musicians and community minded citizens.
• The Council approved a resolution sponsored by Council President and Lovejoy District Council Member Richard A. Fontana requesting that the Department of Public Works waive fees for the use of Heacock Park by South Buffalo Alive for its June 3, 2012 "Parade of Circles" event. South Buffalo Alive is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life in South Buffalo. The "Parade of Circles" is a community event that was established in 2001 to celebrate the culmination of the beautification of McKinley Parkway.
• The Council approved a resolution sponsored by Majority Leader and Masten District Council Member Demone A. Smith waiving fees for the use of Martin Luther King, Jr. Park for the Masten District Easter Egg Hunt. The Masten District Easter Egg Hunt is a free community event that will be held on April 7, 2012.
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT—The Council approved an amendment to Chapter 511, Section 68.6 of the Code of the City of Buffalo, sponsored by Ellicott District Council Member Darius G. Pridgen, to establish a new Downtown Entertainment Review District with special zoning guidelines.
As a result, other than on Thursday nights between 10:00 pm and 4:00 am the following Friday morning, taverns that are located within the Downtown Entertainment Review District and licensed by the New York State Liquor Authority to serve alcohol are prohibited from permitting entry to patrons under the age of 21 unless they have first obtained a Restricted Use Permit from the City. The Thursday night exception from the prohibition of co-mingling will expire on October 2, 2012, provided that Chapter 511, Section 68.6 is not amended prior to that date.

Surfing the Texas Coast with Photographer Kenny Braun
Published: April 2, 2014
The photo book Surf Texas literally began as a dream. Living in Austin in the mid-1990s, Kenny Braun had just started his photography business. He was getting a taste of client-dictated assignments when memories from his childhood would float to him in dreams—particularly, his grandparents farm and the surf along the Texas coastline.
Braun grew up in Houston in the 1970s and '80s; he was 15 when he began surfing with his friends in Texas, surprisingly one of the top six surf states in the country. They'd drive to Galveston, Surfside, Corpus Christi and even South Padre with little to no money, just to surf. "We were obsessed," Braun said in an interview with the Current.
He moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas and become a musician. The years passed without a single trip to the coast. He missed it, until he started dreaming. There is a Hasselblad-captured photograph, Surfside Beach, 1996, documenting this period; it's a sharp, high contrast long-view landscape. The sand appears blinding, and there's a shiny black SUV perched at the edge of the tide. "The dreams were a starting point, and I began to venture out. I wanted to capture an impression, what is smelled like, what it felt like. I thought I might be onto something with surf," he explained. "There are a lot of surfers in Texas but little representation."
Surf Texas is ultimately a near 20-year passion project that spans the transition of photography from film to digital; he worked with Hasselbad, Holga and DSLR cameras. In black-and-white, the waves, the coastline, sea grass and surfers, spanning generations, are timeless. For Braun, there's nothing particularly distinct about the Texas coast, aside from the vehicles driving on the beach. "The book is really more about the similarities," he said. It's an essay on how connected Texas is to surfing. "Texas is known for cowboys, ranchers and oilmen, but we have thousands of surfers, too."
What began as a personal, somewhat solitary project has evolved into a community catalyst for beach lovers across the state. Since the release of his book, Braun has been amazed; "people have been coming out of the woodwork" to share their memories and their enthusiasm for the Texas coast. Right now, that's the wave giving him a rush.

Thanks for opening my listing for a fine collectible, this vintage/antique pocket watch case. Inside wording is as follows: "Guaranteed 5 Years 14K Providence W.C. Co. 400712". The "14K" leads us to believe some part of this is gold, however, the case has some tarnishing spots (like bronze?), so we are not sure. Case opens and closes normally, and has a pretty bird design on the front. Weighs 1.6 oz / 45 grams. Two-inch diameter.All items are from an animal-free and smoke-free home. I am happy to combine shipping for a lower overall cost. See my other auctions. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Bid with confidence - my feedback speaks for itself. Thanks for your interest!

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?.
She has great details about the infamous incident in which some jerk poisoned the crew with the terrifying hallucinogen PCP, sending 56 people to the emergency room. PCP transformed Cameron into a replica of Schwarzenegger in his film Terminator. "Life imitates art," Cameron's pal Lewis Abernathy tells Parisi. "One eye was completely red, just like the Terminator eye. A pupil, no iris, beet red. The other eye looked like he'd been sniffing glue since he was four ... I'm thinking call an organ donor bank, next of kin ... And he puts on this big ol' grin and says, 'Finish the movie, Lewis, you know what to do!'"
The set medic tamed panic with pop music, just like the Titanic orchestra--only Roy Orbison instead of ragtime. Star Bill Paxton made a daring escape from the hospital and got back to the set in time for the conga line.
Cameron's ego is so damn can-do that he feels he could have saved the passengers of Titanic if he had been the captain. To save everybody, Cameron tells Parisi, the captain simply should have loaded everybody aboard the iceberg! "They would have been cold, but they would have lived."
Parisi is the opposite of the typical scorpion-like showbiz reporter; she is pro-Cameron. To get to her unrivalled inside scoops, you have to wade through gushing sentences such as, "The symmetry and perfection of the room are as awesome as anything out of Kubrick's Barry Lyndon or The Shining." She does not dwell on the script's weaknesses, as most of the press and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did.
But if you have a scintilla of interest in how this infinitely difficult and technically innovative film was made, Parisi's is the book to buy. --Tim Appelo --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

|Summary: Object-oriented mega-widgets for Tcl.
[incr Tcl] is an object-oriented extension of the Tcl language and was created to support more structured programming in Tcl. Tcl scripts longer than a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and global variables. All of these building blocks must reside in a single global namespace and there is no support for protection or encapsulation. To help out with this problem, [incr Tcl] introduces the notion of objects. Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized into "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain. Install itcl if you're programming with Tcl, and you need the object-oriented functionality that [incr Tcl] can provide.

Gov. Pence: Veto SB 340
The arguments for doing so in the Energizing Indiana program are myriad and, on the surface, persuasive.
The challenges of energy conservation in Indiana have changed, we're told, even in the short time since the state program to help individuals and companies conserve electricity began in 2012.
The program, created by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission with the support of then-Gov. Mitch Daniels, is funded through six Indiana utilities, including Indiana Michigan Power.
Under contract with the utilities, private energy auditors fan out to residences, industries and institutions to suggest ways to cut electricity use.
By such simple fixes as turning down water-heater temperatures, using more efficient light bulbs and upgrading refrigerators, Energizing Indiana seemed to be on the road to significant inroads in the state's energy usage.
The need for special strategies to curb energy use here was obvious when Indiana's energy consumption was particularly high and prices not particularly so.
But now, though Indiana still ranks ninth among the states for energy consumption per capita, energy prices here are rising and use is leveling off. The Purdue University State Utility Forecasting Group predicts that electricity rates will rise 32 percent in the next decade. Those higher costs will help drive down use.
When, after its first year, it developed that the utilities had not spent some of the money they'd collected for the program from their customers, there was concern that Energizing Indiana's goals had been set too high, too fast. And attention has swung to the cost of Energizing Indiana, which adds $2.03 a month to the average residential electric bill and millions of dollars to many industries' energy budgets.
Ed Simcox, president of the Indiana Energy Association, argued in an Indianapolis Star piece last week that the low hanging' fruit efforts to increase energy efficiency have already been harvested, and the next steps will be more complex and costly.
That is undoubtedly true. There are only so many refrigerators to upgrade, only so many pipes that can be wrapped with insulation.
But none of this justifies SB 340, which the legislature sent to the governor earlier this week. If it becomes law, the measure will stop Energizing Indiana dead in its tracks. Its backers call it a pause to reassess the conservation efforts' strategies and costs.
Pauses, though, have a way of becoming permanent. And the needs that Energizing Indiana was intended to address haven't gone away. Air pollution is still a problem in Indiana, and the state's urge to conserve energy will only be more acute when prices are even higher.
Energizing Indiana's efforts have hardly been a fiasco. According to the Sierra Club, an independent study concluded that Indiana utilities saved two dollars for every dollar spent on demand-side management' programs. For industries, the club said, the savings have been even higher: $3.19 for every dollar spent. And the program has helped motivate utilities to get serious about the energy-saving game.
Tracy Warner, a spokesman for I&M, stresses that the decision on SB 340 is up to state policymakers, but that I&M will continue to offer energy-efficiency programs even if the state program ends.
Why the rush, though, to abandon a program that seemed so essential only a couple of years ago? Rather than do such a hasty about-face on such a crucial issue, Pence would be wise to veto SB 340 and direct the IURC to make some adjustments in Energizing Indiana's strategy. Then the legislature can revisit the issue during its longer 2015 session.

Kazakhstan Overview
Kazakhstan is an upper-middle-income country with per capita GDP of nearly US$13 thousand in 2013. Strong domestic demand, coupled with increased oil output and recovered crop production, boosted economic growth from 5 percent in 2012 to 6 percent in 2013. An expansion of credit was the key driver of growth in private consumption and investment activity in 2013. Prospects of additional oil output with Kashagan coming on stream should help boost economic activity in the coming years and increase Kazakhstan's vulnerability to external shocks unless the country succeeds in diversifying its endowments from natural resources to stronger institutions and higher quality human capital.
Income growth in the country had a positive impact on poverty indicators, with prosperity shared broadly. Over the last year, the share of the population living in poverty went down from 5.5 percent in 2011 to 3.8 percent in 2012, as measured by the national poverty line. This is a significant improvement from 47 percent officially registered in 2001. Similarly, at the international poverty line, as measured by the PPP-corrected US$2.5 a day per capita, poverty in Kazakhstan fell from 41 percent in 2001 to 4 percent in 2009. Kazakhstan's performance in the World Bank's indicator of shared prosperity also shows progress, with growth rate of consumption per capita of the bottom 40 percent of households of about 6 percent, while the average consumption growth for all households was about 5 percent during 2006-2010.
Trade policy will remain a central instrument to help the country integrate into the global economy, but Kazakhstan will face a complex trade policy environment in the medium-term. The economy is adjusting to the Eurasia Customs Union which it joined in 2010 and is pursuing an accelerated schedule of further integration into the Common Economic Space by 2015. Kazakhstan is also expected to join the World Trade Organization in the near future while its trade strategy lists several free trade agreements to be negotiated.
Education is a high priority for Kazakhstan, and in 2009, Kazakhstan ranked first on UNESCO's "Education for All Development Index" by achieving near-universal levels of primary education, adult literacy, and gender parity. These results have reflected Kazakhstan's efforts of expanding pre-school access and free, compulsory secondary education. For the next 10 years, Kazakhstan is embarking on further major reforms across all education levels.
Kazakhstan faces challenges in restructuring its healthcare system. The country's health outcomes lag behind its rapidly increasing income. The major causes of adult mortality are non-communicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, other tobacco and alcohol-related diseases and injuries. The new State Health Care Development Program recognizes health as one of the country's major priorities and a pre-requisite for sustainable socioeconomic development.
Agriculture accounts for only 5 percent of GDP, but the sector continues to employ almost one-fourth of the working population and is critical to addressing poverty and food security, as well as providing an important avenue for diversification of the economy.
Kazakhstan inherited significant environmental concerns related to past military nuclear testing programs, industrial and mining activities, as well as land degradation, desertification, and water scarcity problems. Air and water pollution are a significant environmental concern in Kazakhstan. Environmental monitoring systems are not adequately funded to reflect the current pollution load on the environment. The Government has made progress in environmental management, but significant challenges remain.
Looking forward, Kazakhstan's development objective of joining the rank of the top 30 most developed countries by 2050 will depend on its ability to move away from natural resource dependence toward more balanced growth, and to conduct social modernization to achieve more inclusive growth and faster improvement in social development outcomes. In the near to medium term, economic prospects depend on a continuation of stability-oriented macroeconomic policies that hinge on continued adherence to the rules-driven framework for resource earnings and sustainable financial sector development. Enhancing medium- to long-term development prospects depends on Kazakhstan's success in diversifying its endowments, namely, creating highly skilled human capital, improving the quality of physical capital, and, more importantly, strengthening institutional capital—all of the necessary ingredients for the development and expansion of the private sector in the country.
Kazakhstan joined the World Bank in 1992. Since then the Bank has provided 40 loans to the country for a total amount of more than US$6.8 billion, of which about 65 percent, or over US$4.4 billion, has already been disbursed.
The World Bank's current portfolio is composed of 12 projects with a total net commitment of US$3,671 million, of which US$1,453 million has been disbursed. While over 80 percent of the commitments are concentrated in the two big South-West Road and East-West Road projects, the portfolio remains diverse, with two-thirds of the projects focused on institutional building in the areas of education, health, innovations, and the revenue administration agenda. The lending pipeline includes several projects at various stages of preparation.
The new Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) from May 1, 2012 is designed to help the Government of Kazakhstan advance implementation of country development agenda through a high impact program, concentrating on key priorities of competitiveness and jobs, improved governance through higher standards and accountability in public administration and service delivery, and safeguarding the environment. The CPS is programmatic by inter-linking knowledge interventions through sequenced products in a multi-year framework to maximize impact. The CPS targets key areas of lagging performance as revealed by country development strategies or the Bank's assessment tools, including international comparative analysis.
The strategy is organized around three broad areas of engagement:
- Improving competiveness and fostering job creation with a focus on (i) strengthening fiscal discipline and trade openness; (ii) expanding non-oil sector exports and employment, (iii) re-invigorating financial sector, (iv) strengthening knowledge for sustained growth, (v) improving energy transmission to poor areas, (vi) building transport connectivity, lowering costs;
- Strengthening governance and public services with a focus on (i) improving governance, (ii) strengthened budget and accounting institutions, (iii) reforming social protection system, (iv) sharpening strategic approach to health reforms;
- Ensuring development is environmentally sustainable with a focus on (i) safeguarding the environment, (ii) raising energy efficiency.
The strategy also acknowledges the role Kazakhstan can play as a provider of experience, and assistance in the Central Asia region and in a broader regional context. The Bank will continue to promote regional cooperation in energy, water, transport, trade, and communicable diseases.
The CPS Completion Report for 2005-2011, submitted to the Board in May 2012, reflects significant progress on several major development issues, based on continued generation of dialogue and debate around high quality advisory and analytical services, responsiveness, CPS outcomes, innovation, and strong, strategic partnership formed under the CPS.
Joint Economic Research Program (JERP) – the cornerstone of the CPS – is a demand-driven technical support and advisory services program co-financed by the Government of Kazakhstan. It has been providing extensive expert support to the Government's development needs since 2002. The JERP provided extensive advisory and analytical services (AAA) to the Government on the institutional design and implementation of the National Fund (NF). More recently, JERP advisory services helped the Government to avoid fiscally risky banks' bailout strategies in the wake of a financial sector crisis and to balance macroeconomic and monetary stability with sustainable growth objectives. Also, JERP supported the formulation of medium-term macroeconomic forecasts and government staff training in this area. JERP AAAs on financial sector risks has spurred important amendments to the regulatory and supervision framework for commercial banks and capital markets. Bank AAA under the JERP on all these elements were made highly effective by the Government's approach of sponsoring a series of high-level brainstorming engagements with the Bank (co-chaired by the Prime Minister), which helped clarify and internalize the policy advice and recommendations.
Given the country's low need for external financing, the World Bank program is built on the premise of cutting-edge knowledge transfer, capacity enhancement and implementation support, bringing benefits that go well beyond funding.
In the first few years after Kazakhstan's independence, the World Bank focused on helping the country to implement financial and private sector reforms. After 1997, the focus shifted to public administration reform, with specific attention to improving the country's welfare and social protection policies. Currently, the World Bank is assisting the country with managing public sector and finances, promoting competitiveness and fostering job creation, strengthening governance and public services, and ensuring environmentally sustainable growth.
The Bank assisted in upgrading and modernizing the country's power transmission systems, helped increase agricultural productivity by rehabilitating deteriorating irrigation systems, and encouraged the rural community to diversify into non-traditional areas by nurturing their business skills. In addition, people in the country's western region, who have suffered from a shortage of quality water, now enjoy better health as a result of improved water supply and sanitation. The Bank continues help improving the timely availability of water for productive purposes, including irrigated agriculture, fisheries and industry, while at the same time reviving the Northern Aral Sea. Elimination of the legacy of significant environmental problems related to pollution and natural resource use by heavy industries is another big step towards safeguarding the fragile environment.
World Bank projects making a difference:
Eliminating Mercury's Invisible Threat in Kazakhstan
Mercury pollution is invisible but dangerous. For decades, a factory just 2 km from Temirtau threatened the health of the 170,000 people living there, and their fragile environment. As a result, more than 1,500 tons of this heavy metal were discharged into the Nura River. A project supported by the World Bank and the Government of Kazakhstan invested into the cleanup of the contaminated area to reduce health risks from this toxic substance.
Connecting the North and South
Strong economic growth has led to a sharp increase in the demand for electricity in Kazakhstan. Much of the country's power generation comes from the north, from power plants located in the coal-producing regions and hydroelectric facilities. Power sources in the south are generally small-scale; limited to small hydro, combined heat and power plants, and a high cost oil-fired power plant in Taraz. The combination of unusually severe cold in last several years and antiquated infrastructure used to leave thousands of people in the south in the dark. Cold snaps are still a problem in the region, but power outages have become rare. Since 2009, with support from the World Bank, Kazakhstan has built a new electricity transmission line. This new line provides ample reliable energy to about 3 million people in South Kazakhstan and doubles the energy flow from the north to the south of the country.
Benefiting Before a Road is Built
A new road brings many things; access to new places and services, fresh faces, mobility…and jobs. A new road in Akzharma, a remote village in Kazakhstan, isn't finished yet, but it has already brought enormous changes. Here, the building of the road is nearly as important to locals as the road itself.

Noel Boleslaw Wolny
WOONSOCKET - Noel Boleslaw Wolny, 73 of Woonsocket, RI died peacefully at home on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 with his family by his side.
He was born in Cheratte, Belgium in 1937 and moved to Poland with his family in 1949. He immigrated to the United States with his wife and their son in 1964. They made their home in Woonsocket where his fluency in French helped them to transition to their new life in their adopted country, where he later became a naturalized citizen.
SCITUATE — Hinting broadly that he may soon return to public life, perhaps as a political candidate, State Police Col. Brendan Doherty announced Thursday that he is retiring effective April 1.
Both Doherty and Gov. Lincoln Chafee's office denied that friction between Doherty and Chafee — who were at odds over the Providence Police Department's decision to opt out of the federal Secure Communities Program — led to Doherty's seemingly abrupt decision to step down.
WOONSOCKET --- You will have to forgive Joe Gardner if he's been a little antsy this winter.
After fighting four times during a seven-month span last year and winning the EBA (Eastern Boxing Association) New England light heavyweight title last November, the Woonsocket Boxing Club fighter has gone the last four months without a bout.
"I'm not used to this," added Gardner. "It's been longer than I expected. I've been itching for a fight and I was hoping to jump in there right away."
But Gardner knows his wait won't be long.
WOONSOCKET – Two years ago, Mount St. Charles Academy was the top seed from Division II-North. Instead of advancing far into the playoffs, however, the Mounties saw their season come to an abrupt close with a shocking two-point loss to Scituate in the preliminary round.
Before her top-ranked team took to the floor in Thursday's opening-round contest with Warwick Veterans, a No. 8 seed from Div. II-South with the worst record in the entire league, head coach Nina Morey thought about that upset to the Spartans.
WOONSOCKET – There's something to be said about playoff experience.
Kailey Fugere and Ashley Dubois showed just why on Wednesday night.
The Woonsocket High teammates, who have been instrumental players for the Villa Novans in their last two state titles, including the Division I crown last year, stepped up with huge efforts against a pesky South Kingstown outfit.
WOONSOCKET — City fire investigators and Police Department detectives are seeking the public's help in solving a suspected arson at the Seville Dye mill complex at First Avenue and River Street on Sunday.
An investigation by state and local fire marshals at the damaged mill on Monday and Tuesday determined the fire to have been set, fire officials said Wednesday.
A $5,000 reward has been posted by the State Fire Marshal's office for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect in the case.
CUMBERLAND — The 66-year-old victim of last week's violent home invasion at 124 Overhill Road in Cumberland has been identified as Harvey O. Salvas, who also is a staff member of the Rhode Island Governor's Commission on Disabilities.
Salvas is the commission's state Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator specializing in accessibility and assistive technology. He is also a former building official in Cumberland.
James Edward Ridolfi
FRANKLIN- RIDOLFI, James Edward, age 45, of Franklin, MA, formerly of Woonsocket, March 2, 2011. Beloved husband of Cindy L. (McNutt).
Loving father of Joshua of Pawcatuck, CT, Corey of Woonsocket, Tanya of No. Smithfield, and Jesse of Franklin, MA. Devoted "Pa" of Patrick, Liam, Roman and Cameron. Brother of Susan Guilbault of Woonsocket, Deborah Donnelly of Rehoboth, MA, and Nathan of IL. Uncle of Nickolas, Andrew, Haley, Jared and Joshua. Also survived by a special uncle, Michael of Boston, MA, and aunt, Susan Bassignani of Franklin, MA.
Frank DiOrio Jr.
WARWICK- Frank DiOrio Jr., 58, of Warwick, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 1, 2011.
Husband and best friend to Marjorie DiOrio; the beloved son of Juliette (Santagata) Cardogno, and the late, Frank DiOrio Sr. A loving father to his children, Jason, Michael and Christy DiOrio, and Brian Rector. An inspiring brother to his two sisters Donna Sieta and Valerie Cachiotto. Frank also leaves behind 2 beautiful grandchildren, Isabella and Ava.
A retired custom car builder, Frank was a master carpenter who enjoyed restoring and renovating old homes.
Florence R. Yozura
WOONSOCKET- Florence R. Yozura, 92, of Woonsocket, died Tuesday at Landmark Medical Center. She was the wife of the late George "Jake" Yozura.
Born in Worcester, she was a daughter of the late Joseph and Rosealma (LaBonte) Tatro. She was a resident of Woonsocket for most of her life.
Mrs. Yozura was employed for many years at the Falls Yarn Company in Woonsocket before her retirement in 1981.
Florence was a former member of the St. Louis Senior Citizens Club. She will be remembered as being a devoted wife and mother and loving grandmother and great-grandmother.

Tennessee QB Tyler Bray Accused of Throwing Beer Bottles Onto Cars
7/25/12 in NCAAF | Tyler_Waddell | 426 respect
The Knoxville Police Department has stated that no charges have been filed as of this afternoon, but that could change in a short matter of time.
A resident of the apartment complex called the police after witnessing two men tossing the bottles over the balcony and vandalizing her vehicle, recognizing both as Bray and 26-year-old University of Tennessee graduate Michael Grandinetti.
The damages are an estimated $500, with the front of her windshield being smashed.
Bray, a junior, is projected to be a future first-round selection in the NFL draft by many mock draft websites. Last week, coach Derek Dooley called him "the face of our offense" during SEC Football Media Days.
Bray threw for 1,983 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions last season as a sophomore.
