Greenfield - The Partners of Greenfield Park and Recreation, which stepped into the breach last year to make sure the city could continue its traditional Fourth of July celebration, has established itself with a bang.
The nonprofit group not only secured the return of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band but landed a rare appearance by mascot Bucky Badger. Greenfield will have the only parade with both, parade committee chairman Dennis Ervin said.
Oddly enough, it was harder to get Bucky than the band, he said.
"They do not allow his appearance without strong, strong reason and extreme effort," he said.
Organizers promise this will be the best Fourth of July celebration in memory.
It will run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Konkel Park. After the 12:15 p.m. parade, the fun an "Are You Smarter than a Fifth-Grader" Contest, the Salsabrosa Dance Company and Martial Arts America demonstrations and lessons, Bakers Square Restaurant Pie Eating Contest, music by DJ Bill Code and the headline band Speakeasy.
Lots of food and beverages will be available.
A fireworks show sponsored by the city of Greenfield will top off the day.
This year the business community is truly rallying to support the celebration, Ervin said, but donations are still needed. For information, call Jeannette Lucero, celebration organizer at (414) 282-0141 or Ervin, (262) 786.7196.

Citizenship isn't really a term I hear much anymore. I would be surprised to learn that anyone still teaches "civics" in high school. But there is a group that is promoting the concept.
November is Citizenship Month, according to PACE, a Spokane Valley group of educators, parents, businesses and faith-based organizations which works together with kids to recognize and promote good character. ( PACE stands for Partners for Advancing Character Education.)
I got to thinking about it last night as I was chopping veggies and listening to NPR. The Australian guest commented that although India hasn't signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty, they are currently acting as a good global citizen. Global citizen? Hm.
What about good corporate citizens?
Sometimes it's easier to catch companies doing the wrong thing, like in the 1920s when you could see raw sewage contaminating the Spokane River or in the 1960s when the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught on fire. (The Cuyahoga allegedly burned 12 times before, but it was the 1969 fire that is credited with launching the environmental movement.)
When I think of good corporate citizens, Rosauers grocery store comes to mind. During the winter of 2008, Spokane suffered massive back-to-back snowstorms. While shoppers browsed the aisles on December 29, part of the roof of the north Rosauers collapsed—25,000 square feet of ceiling. Fortunately nobody was hurt.
Equally fortunately, instead of laying off workers, President & CEO Jeff Philipps temporarily transferred the workers he could to other stores and paid 90 percent of the base wages of those he couldn't. In addition, Philipps continued to pay a portion of worker benefits. The store took four months to re-open and cost several million.
Earlier in the decade, Aaron Feurstein, the Malden Mills (Polarfleece) CEO also made headlines by caring more about his employees and his hometown than his bottom line. After a devastating fire, Feurstein continued to pay his people and provide benefits. A deeply spiritual man, the CEO said he was inspired by the Torah to do the right thing.
Red Stripe Beer is a company I found garnering praise in this morning's Jamaica Observer for its corporate citizenship. According to the article by Yvonne Grinam-Nicholson, the company's community development programs have positively impacted the lives of many Jamaicans. Together with established educational organizations, Red Stripe provides business training for would-be workers in tourism, hospitality, the arts and even entrepreneurship.
Do you know of any good corporate citizens?

Regardless of the charges made against these fools, the fact that they have birds of prey inked into their foreheads and grenades at their necks is enough reason to lock 'em up— just so we can take pics and make fun of them.

Pastor Who Left Sanctimonious Tip Gets Waitress Fired from Applebee'sSubmitted by RobHino on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 17:00
After a copy of her Applebee's receipt began circulating online yesterday, Pastor Alois Bell of the St. Louis-based Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries phoned up the restaurant and asked to have everyone involved fired.
See the receipt!
Continue Reading: http://gawker.com/5980558...

the real question is
who were the human minds that picked and choose what got put in the bible and could have they made a mistake?
Oh shut up.
Every church with any kind of built in constitution has doctrinal decrees in order to prevent erroneous understandings of biblical passages, our Constitution has something similar known as the Federalist Papers. Seriously, grow up.
"My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday." - G.K. Chesterton
These kinds of situations are excellent teaching opprotunities
And a perfect way to really educate someone about true Christianity:
We are all sinners, we all screw up, even pastors and those that try their best to appear as 'good' Christians.
This pastor did a selfish and prideful thing - something we can all identify with.
If the pastor has any conviction at all they will admit their fault, learn from it and use it as a teaching tool - along with apologizing and making this whole situation right.
Taking responsibility for ones own actions is a vital component of both Freedom and Christianity.
"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle."
the pastor actually called
the pastor actually called and, rather than apologize, demanded that the restaurant fire EVERYBODY involved. They didn't fire everyone, but they did fire the employee.
The restaurant made a huge mistake, IMO, as the employee was the one begging the redditors to keep their calm and refrain from doing anything "stupid". Now that she lost her job she isn't holding the anons back. I expect, at the very least, the local Applebees is gonna get some backlash from this. I doubt a DDoS attack though.
The headline is misleading, dome have dug deeper and saw:
-The server that posted the photo was not the server stiffed of a tip.
-The Server posted the photo and was fired.
If you peruse this thread this has been covered a dozen times, from ethical, relational, economic, religious and moral angles.
It's a better thread than the Original Post.
Free includes debt-free!
She's better off without that job. That's one of the
crappiest restaurants to work in. The food sucks horribly, and it attracts mostly the dregs of society like this cheap pastor with entitlement issues.
18% is a bit much in my opinion though, however, I understand why most places do this:
#1 - it was a large party. This puts an extra strain on the establishment to serve properly. Mind you though, this gratuity is NOT supposed to be for the server(s) it is supposed to be an extra charge for the MENU items. (the price listed on menus is for normal costs. Having to serve large parties incurs more cost, as well as locking out other business, thus reducing profits. In other words, if ALL the restaurant did was serve large parties, you'd be paying those higher prices ALL of the time)
#2 - tipping went from a standard 8-10% to 15% and now 18% for one major reason: the restaurant industry (read - corporate hacks, not mom&pop) have lobbied Congress for a "tip credit" whereby they don't have to pay minimum wage. They can take a credit for the tips the server receives so they only have to pay the server $2.13 an hour. This figure came about from when the credit was first instituted. Minimum wage was then $4.25. The credit was 50%, but was listed explicitly as $2.13 instead of "half" or "50%." As Congress has raised the minimum wage, they have no also raised the minimum pay for those taking "tip credit." In short, a server has had stagnate (not assuming inflation) wages of $2.13 an hour on their check since the 1990s. (over 20 years)
To be sure, menu prices have gone up, so if they are receiving a standard percentage, then they will receive more in absolute terms. But menu prices haven't kept pace with inflation. If they had, most restaurants would have gone out of business long ago. So something had to give. Most people, even without being charged the tip or even having it suggested to them, offer at least 15% if not 20-30% depending on the total amount of the bill, and of course, level of service. This is the only thing that has allowed serving to remain a viable job. And for lower end restaurants to be able to keep them on to provide this dining style to their customers.
The entire system is a mess, no doubt. And I didn't even get into the "forced tipshare" issue or the "taxed even if you didn't make it issue" that corporate restaurants and the IRS have foisted on the industry.
If you look at all the factors involved. It's no wonder restaurants routinely add 18% gratuity or even tips to the checks for large parties, especially in establishments which cater to cheap skates like this pastor.
Most of these places will eventually have to switch to a deli or buffet style business operation because of the above factors. This will of course mean far less jobs available in an already tight job market.
Certainly, I wouldn't fault the restaurant for firing an employee who complained about a tip (or the lack thereof) to a guest, even a different guest. Such is forbidden.
But that wasn't the case here. The server posted this anonymously, and there was no way to identify the guest. The only thing that might have been done better, would have been not to let on where she worked.
Server did not betray her customer.
Another server posted the picture of the bill. I guess the injustice galled her just like it did many here.

I think there is plenty of blame to go around
The beauty of overblown media coverage of such inane situations is that they create teaching points for Christ followers and Liberty minded individhals to take advantage of to educate others.
I guess when you boil it down thats what life is - opprotunities to be taught and to teach.
"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle."
Simple response to the pastor:
Render unto the waitress what belongs to the waitress, and unto God what belongs to God.
Hurry, Hurry Read All About It!
"People are dicks. Even Pastors sometimes."
This is ridiculous. I'm an
This is ridiculous. I'm an atheist but my parents are Pentecostals who believe women should not be preachers... and I agree for whatever reason. I'm not sure why. But this might help my argument. I know for a fact my mother gives 10% but then again they have a tiny church and I'm sure it's hell trying to get people in there since their long time pastor died a few years ago. I don't really know because I always refuse invitations to go back there.
My point is women should not be preachers, and bitches like her especially should be kicked in the head. That's pretty much all I have to say.
So you give 10% to God and....?
That makes you immune to the rest of society?
Fuck the whore Christian Supremacist.
You're Not Sure Why?
How can you be someone that is critical thinking enough to be hanging out on DP and yet not critical thinking enough to know why you don't think women are capable of preaching? I suppose you think only women should be nurses too? Makes no sense to me.
Well, here ya go. It's pretty
Well, here ya go. It's pretty simple. Do I really believe any of this religious crap? No, but do I know and understand what the bible says? Of course I do. I was raised that way.
Yet Another Reason
why I think the bible was written by a bunch of control freaks. I personally have more respect for women. In fact I think anyone that wrote that claptrap probably were AFRAID of women! Are you?
The prohibition on women pastors.
The prohibition on women pastors has nothing to do with control, that's nutty feminist rhetoric coined by a bunch of morons who can barely read proper English, let alone comprehend the scriptures. It has to do with the fact that the office that a presiding priest/pastor holds is a patriarchal office, it's no different than being a father, something that is impossible for a women to do (even if one goes to get a self-mutilation...excuse me, sex change operation).
This does not necessarily prevent a woman from preaching in a non-pastor/priest capacity, which there are also examples of in the scriptures, but said office is one that holds authority over all people, and it is a circumvention of nature for a woman to hold authority over a man or otherwise control a man. There are plenty of pagan religions out there that will welcome women possessed of a big mouth and a desire to stick it to the patriarchy, but Christianity doesn't work that way, deal with it.

Not All of Us Guys
agree with that BS way of thinking. You sound as self righteous as that bitch "pastor" I guess we can't all be as enlightened as YOU when it comes to scripture and women. You sound just like my father-in-law. He was a Baptist preacher and felt the same way you do. So much so he beat the crap out of his wife and daughter on a regular basis. Such great guys your type are.
Tsk tsk.
You're the one calling others control freaks, so I'd check your premises regarding who is "self-righteous" here. The fact that your father-in-law was an abusive Fundy nutcase with a King James Bible is not material to this discussion, so I'll ask you to quit whining about it.
Furthermore, comparing me to a Baptist is about as big of an insult as you can throw at someone of my persuasion, even more so than the use of 3rd wave feminist bullocks in order to try to guilt-trip people into thinking like you. Please avoid the temptation of talking first and thinking later, it will serve you much better in your next response, which I will most likely ignore anyway.

The pastor isn't even being fair in his/her "logic"
In her statement she is trying to make... Saying she gives god 10% is completely different because that's 10% of her full income and the waitress didn't ask for 18% of everything the pastor earns just for serving her Applebee's dinner. He/she is an idiot and that's not even mentioning that it's to the church not to God himself. Ridiculous...
Ron Paul 2012
The pastor is a jerk, but
He has the right to be an jerk, but she did not have the right to put his name out there and post that on line. As much as I hate what this man did, she was in the wrong. When you work in customer service, you represent the company, not yourself. It was not a smart move for her to do what she did, because from the company point of view, what if other customers feel pressured into leaving a tip for fear of having it posted online, then they may not go to your restaurant, and the company loses business.
It Didn't Get Posted
for lack of a tip as much as for being hateful. She's supposed to be a loving servant of God for crying out loud! Instead she was hateful to a waitress who had just served more than 8 people. The waitress doesn't work for free ya know. How would you like to work serving 8 people and then be stiffed? I can relate to this girl because I used to wait tables when I was a teen and it's hard work and you only make money off tips. Restaurants don't pay much. It's like working for 2.00 an hour if you don't get tipped. The pastor was being a royal bitch and deserved to be called on it! Applebees was chicken to fire the waitress!
This "pastor" was a WOMAN. Why does everyone call her a HIM? Have you even READ the article?
ya, I read it
it is just a habit. lol Its not to often you hear about a woman pastor.
I Got Down Voted
For pointing out that this was a WOMAN? If people here had READ the article they would have known that this was a WOMAN. Why am I down voted for pointing that out? I don't mind getting down voted but at least have a valid reason for it!
What is this strange activity you refer to?
Reeeed.... the.... arrrrr-tih-cuhl? Do what now? Sorry, I am a passionate activist, I have slogans to type, no time for nonsense...
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
Many read headline and posted, but...
-Pastor was a women.
-Restaurant policy of 18% "tip" for large parties. It's printed on the menu.
-Bills are printed by computer, waitresses have no say.
-The party of twenty asked for separate bills in an attempt to avoid the auto-gratuity charge. The computer wasn't fooled.
-Server that posted photo was not the server stiffed.
-Server that posted photo was fired.
Free includes debt-free!
Who fucking cares? - Woman
Who fucking cares?
- Woman pastor, wrong
- Woman, bitch pastor being a bitch, wrong
- Restaurant not enforcing 18% tip policy, wrong
- Restaurant firing employee who pointed out a devil, bible defiling bitch, wrong
- Worker who was in the right, totally right.
I'd sue the restaurant and I'd win. She needs to get a good attorney.
You forgot one more thing.
Posting the personal information about your business, in this case the name of a customer on a social networking site also very wrong and just plain bad business.
It is also against most terms of employment. Applebee's doesn't want their customers being ridiculed. This has brought negative press against them. Don't you get it?
Employee fired. Good luck with that lawsuit.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

www.ivaw.org/operation-recovery - Stop Deploying Traumatized Troops
I'm still waiting for that
I'm still waiting for that handbook that came out before this case...
You got one?
I'd love to see it.
Otherwise I am right and she will win. She most likely has a better employment lawyer than me and she will win.
OK, sounds good. It's easy
OK, sounds good. It's easy enough. There is no policy against it. There is no personal information on that ticket except her name and that she's a bitch. When you can show me an Applebee's employee handbook or contract that the girl signed that stated she had to keep the identity of customers private then I'll agree with you.

Last year, we reported that around 50 percent of bloggers have ads on their blogs
Last year, we reported that around 50 percent of bloggers have ads on their blogs. So, how could that number have dropped to 28 percent this year?
Well, according to Technorati, the publisher of the second-annual "State of the Blogosphere" report, the pool of respondents to this year's survey of bloggers is much bigger than last year, arguably producing findings that are more representative of the blogosphere.
Indeed, last year's survey included just 1,400 participants, while this year's included 2,900, according to Technorati VP of Marketing Jennifer McLean, whom I spoke with earlier today.
I'm sure some scientific statisticians have smoke coming out of their ears right now, but I think it's worth mentioning the disparity between the two reports since we did cover last year's numbers.
"Before we simply had a higher concentration of serious bloggers," McLean told me. This year, lots more so-called "hobbyist" bloggers - the ones who write blogs just for the hell of it and don't collect any ad revenue from them - took the survey. So, essentially, the ad-supported concentration was diluted this time around.
Here are a few other numbers from this year's (arguably) more accurate poll. Of those bloggers running ads:
- Around 40 percent run display and Google AdSense-type text ads (listed in the report as "search" ads).
- 36 percent include affiliate marketing links.
- 8 percent feature rich media ads or paid blog posts.
- The mean annual amount of ad revenue generated is around $42,500.

Why Not Home…
When I was pregnant with Harper and we were trying to decide where he was going to be born, we asked ourselves, "Why not home?"
It wasn't because I had something to prove. Or because I hate hospitals or drugs… in fact I spent so much of my childhood longing to go to the hospital.
Instead it was because I am a private person and I liked the idea of having a small intimate team of people who I knew and trusted. I believed going to the hospital meant crossing your fingers and hoping you got a good team, or many good teams, as often women labor through hospital shift changes.
I figured Why Not Home because I was healthy, he was healthy, we live close to a hospital, should we need it… so why not try.
After all, I helped sheep give birth when we were living at the farm. And I watched "The Business of Being Born" and I figured if Ricki Lake could do it, so could I.
And I did.
It was long, hard, messy and terribly painful, thanks to back labor and an 8.15oz baby. But it made me feel strong and proud to be a woman… and the double chocolate milkshake in my own bed was pretty wonderful too.
After having a home birth, I know it is not the best option for everyone. But I was glad that it was an option for me.
And then Number Two came along.
When people asked if I was going to have another home birth, I told them I was going to have a scheduled C-section. I was mostly joking but kind of serious.
My back labor was so bad with Harper, deciding where to have our second child was a very hard decision to make. I talked to lots of people and cried lots of tears over that decision.
It was a hard decision because I had to choose one or the other. It was a hard decision because I live in a community that encourages natural child birth and to admit you want drugs is frowned upon. It was a hard decision because if I chose a home birth, but couldn't do it then I knew I would have to pay twice… for the midwife and for the hospital.
But ultimately I figured I had done it once, so I could do it again. And so for a second time we said, Why Not Home.
And for a second time, I gave it my best shot at home. But this baby was turned the wrong way and things were not progressing. After 7 hours of very intense back labor pain, I knew I didn't have what it took to have that baby at home… so I made the decision to go to the hospital.
I do not regret that decision for one second.
We live in a town with a small lovely hospital and the team on duty that day could not have been better. We had two hospital midwives who completely understood our position and supported our vision. But they also gave me the pain relief I needed to make it through labor with a directionally challenged 10.2lbs baby.
Having had two different babies in two different ways… I support the documentary project "Why Not Home."
"Why not Home" tells the stories of doctors, nurses, and midwives who have attended hundreds of hospital births, yet chose to have their children at home.
They are encouraging an honest dialog about childbirth. They want women to have all the information necessary to decide where to have their baby based on what is best for them and not based on the pressures of their community or based on what is best for their insurance company (Harper's birth cost $4,500. Alistair's birth cost over $35,000… we had to pay $10,000.)
I am supporting this documentary because having a baby is hard enough, deciding where to have your baby should not be a hard decision. I want hospitals to support home birth midwives and home birth midwives to support hospitals. For the health of women, babies and our community we all need to work together.
Please visit "Why Not Home" to learn more about the documentary and to find out how you can support the documentary too.

The location was absolutely amazing.
The participants, who came from all across the US and even England, were lovely.
The Choos, in their cute aprons and flowing skirts, couldn't have been more prairie chic.
The food, provided by Shed in Healdsburg, and the Front Porch wine were delicious.
The flowers, as always, were stunning.

Freda Banks – film vs digital…
A couple of months ago I received an email from photographer Freda Banks saying she needed causal, natural portraits for her website that show she is artistic in a friendly and approachable manner.
I had never met Freda, I had only seen her beautiful work online, so when she answered the door looking like this…I was immediately very excited and extremely intimidated.
Very excited… because she wanted me to photograph with film, which is my most favorite way to photograph.
Extremely intimidated… because I always assume every photographer is more talented and knowledgeable than I am. So photographing other photographers means having to wrestle my brain into silent submission, at least enough so I can do the job I was hired to do.
Also extremely intimidated… because Freda is stunningly beautiful with an incredible sense of style, which meant I felt this overwhelming pressure to take the most amazing photos of my life, in order to live up to this fun opportunity to play with film and with beauty.
But because Freda really is artistic in a friendly and approachable manner, it didn't take us long to feel comfortable with each other, allowing me to silence my overactive brain and focus instead on finding good light. We talked and played and talked and played, and before I knew it, three hours had passed, which is a long time to make one person model, so I reluctantly put away my cameras and we said good-bye.
(All of the above photos were taken with medium format film.)
While I do love film, it was a long painful wait for the film scans to return… luckily I had a few digital files to tide me over until the film scans finally returned.
Digital photography is a wonderful tool and I am so grateful to have it, but when given the opportunity to shoot with film… it is really hard for me to put down the film cameras and pick up the digital ones again.
I just love the sensory experience of photographing with film cameras. I love the sound of the shutter and the crisp, yet ethereal way the world looks through film lenses.
But film is slow, it is expensive and it can be unpredictable. You don't always know what the results will be like and you have to wait a long time to find out… which for me translates to: exciting and risky (like the hard-to-get, tall cute guy, with big glasses and mismatched socks, who I married.)
Digital is fast, it is inexpensive (if you don't factor in your editing time and you don't upgrade your equipment every 9 months) and you know immediately if you got the photo or not… which for me translates to: boring and predictable.
But the advantage of shooting both digital and film is that I get to show a direct comparison between the two and you can decide for yourself which you prefer.
Below are examples of similar photos taken in both digital and film, with no retouching and very minimal color alterations on the digital files…
digital film
I admit, it's a really close call… but film still wins my heart. What do you think?

The Chocolate Lady, a small business that can satisfy any chocolate craving, had its grand re-opening in Buckingham's of Oyster Bay, on Jan. 17. The event opening brought members from the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce together, as well as supporters from the community. Legislator Judy Jacobs was also on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony and to present a citation.
There were more than 25 different types of chocolate to pick and choose from, in addition to premade boxes, with selections that ranged from simple milk chocolate to sea-salted caramel chocolate.
The Sagamore Rowing Association (SRA) hosted a special evening of activities at the Brookville Country Club on Saturday, Jan. 5, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, an event that drew more than 130 people.
As part of the night's activities, the association honored Bob Kaehler, Sagamore alumni, three-time Olympian and four-time World Champion, and Taylor Ritzel, U.S. Women's 8+ 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist.
The invitation to the Taste of Spring benefit for the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center on Jan. 12 was very clear about the need. It was to help repair the damage caused to the sanctuary grounds by Hurricane Sandy. The main greenhouse at Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park was filled with guests chatting and enjoying the venue. More came than expected in spite of the uninviting weather that night with fog creeping along the ground on the dark roads.
Edward Mohlenhoff, event chair, explained there was a great deal of damage to the trees at the TRS as well as at Youngs Cemetery next door. "It's taking a long time for the TRS to do the cleanup. It is because of the time involved in dealing with the insurance and with FEMA and other things that have to come together before the cleanup is complete. Our neighbors are a little impatient with us, but it is not an overnight fix. We will do everything we can to take care of it as soon as we can," he explained. (See accompanying article.)
"You have so many great things that are going on," said Nicholas Amato, the guidance consultant for the district. But, he said, closer supervision of the services is needed.
"Nothing happens in the school that doesn't go through guidance," said Amato, who had served in the Mount Sinai and Half Hallow Hills schools, both as a guidance counselor and as an administrator, and for the past decade, has operated a consulting business.
The Twelfth Night Celebration at Raynham Hall Museum filled the historic house with music and the conversations of friends. It celebrated what Raynham Hall is: a house museum. The post-holiday party on Jan. 5, Twelfth Night, is a traditional event at the museum that celebrates the eve of the Epiphany, to mark the last day of Christmas festivities.
Harriet Gerard Clark, RHM executive director said earlier, "There is so much going on in town and in people's homes before Christmas, that we chose to celebrate the end of the Christmas holidays, when things quiet down to just enjoy getting together."
The holidays were not festive for business owner Lee Perrotta. On Christmas Eve, Perrotta, owner of The Chocolate Lady, noticed a plumbing problem in the basement of the building on Audrey Avenue where her store was located. The problem was so bad, it forced her to shut down her business. A week later, she found herself moving out of the space she had occupied for more than four years, because it was inhabitable.
"I had no water to make chocolate with. My life is upside down, my home is upside down, my clientele is displaced," says Perrotta. "There were no holidays for me."
The displacement comes right in the peak of chocolate season, which Perrotta says lasts from October through May. A staple of the Oyster Bay community since she opened shop, Perrotta knows her customers likes and dislikes and says she is heartbroken over the loss of her shop.
The Locust Valley Fire Department's 5th Annual Operation Wounded Warrior Pasta Dinner proved to be a success. In the midst of the season of giving, the co-chairs of the event, Paul Long, Paul Marecki and Brian Plumb, announced the final figure.
"As unbelievable as it may be," said Paul Long, "we have once again surpassed our previous year's total, as this year's total after expenses was $72,520."
Long, on behalf of the co-chairs, continued, "Words cannot express our gratitude and indeed our awe at the generosity shown by our neighbors and friends from both Locust Valley and neighboring communities from Glen Cove to Bayville to Oyster Bay and to those that came from even further away to attend our 5th Annual Operation Wounded Warrior Pasta Dinner."
With the Connecticut school shootings fresh in their minds, Oyster Bay-East Norwich school officials discussed security of its schools at their Dec. 18 school board meeting.
School Board President Ann Marie Longo opened the regular meeting at the Oyster Bay High School library with a moment of silence "for all the lives lost" in the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook School in Newton, CT.
The Life Enrichment Center hosted a party for all senior members of the community to enjoy the holiday season together on Thursday, Dec. 20. The event had a turnout of more than 150 members and staff, and the room was buzzing with excitement and joyful spirit.
The celebration started off with a dance performance by The Sensational Terri's Tappers, a tap dancing group of women, ages 60 to 85. Terri's Tappers have been performing at the center for the last 10 years, and do so free of charge.
This was the sixth year the Oyster Bay Historical Society has preceded its holiday party with a concert at the Hood African American Episcopal Church in Oyster Bay. Last year and again this year, they brought the Hempstead A Cappella Ensemble directed by Hildyne Bowen to perform in concert. They come together from a variety of churches and denominations to share their love of singing, and their love of Negro Spirituals from their African-American heritage. Ms. Bowen said the spirituals were the gift of the African-Americans that she said, "were created out of the souls of our enslaved ancestors with a biblical message." They are about running away to freedom; sorrow songs; and rejoicing songs, telling of a life better than slavery as they longed for freedom.

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV is reportedly en route to dominate the sales chart once again next week atop of the retail albums chart.
Although a projected number of sales have not yet been unveiled, Wayne is expected to secure the number one spot.
It only seems like George Strait releases an album every few months. His latest MCA Nashville release, Here for a Good Time, is the 39th in his career, and first since 2009's Twang. Look for it to enter the HITS Album sales chart next week as the highest-ranking debut of the week, with sales estimated in the 75-85k range. Cash Money/Universal Republic hip-hop star Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV will certainly remain #1 for at least another week after scoring close to a million in its debut on the charts. (HITS Daily Double)
This week, Weezy's new solo album flirted with a million by selling just over 960,000 copies.
Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV debuted on the chart this week at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Weezy's long-awaited new album has sold 965,300 copies after just a week of availability. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Following its debut atop the competition, Cash Money Records founders Slim and Baby shared their reactions.
"This is a tremendous accomplishment for Lil Wayne and everyone here at Cash Money," said Slim. "It's a tribute to the hard work and commitment he's shown from the very start." "I consider him my son, part of the Cash Money family from the very start," added Baby. "One thing I've learned. No record is safe from him." (Statement)
Baby also denied rumors claiming the company may have quietly boosted album sales.
"Nah, man, that really don't make no sense. Why would we do that?" he said. "I press and distribute 'em. Ain't no need for me to buy 'em. That's hustling backwards; we ain't in it for that. I ain't ever been a part of that type of scheme to be buyin' records. We don't do that, homey. We be working too hard to be — that don't go with what we do. We truly what we do. We're real about what we do, we work hard every day at it, and we work for the people. That's what we do music for: for people. And we appreciate the love they give us back. But no such thing as me buying no CDs. I wouldn't even play it like that." (MTV)

UPDATE: Plea deal expected for fatal 2012 DUI crash
Date: November 25, 2013
by: Nolan Peterson | News Editor
Circuit Court Judge Frederick P. Mercurio sentenced Blake Talman, 24, to 15 years in prison for DUI manslaughter Nov. 25, for the death of Siesta Key resident Donna Chen two years earlier. Talman will also serve five years of probation.
Earlier: A painful ordeal may be in its last chapter for one Siesta Key family.
On Jan. 7 2012, Blake Talman, who was then 22, was driving his Nissan Altima drunk when he struck and killed 53-year-old Donna Chen as she and her dog, Barney, were running on the sidewalk along Midnight Pass Road. Talman was reportedly driving about 90 mph when he lost control rounding a corner on Midnight Pass Road, flipping his car and fatally impacting Chen.
A kayaker later rescued Chen's dog, Barney, one mile out in Sarasota Bay. A video depicting the rescue was widely circulated in the area.
Chen worked as an emergency room nurse at Venice Memorial Hospital, where she met her husband, Dr. Welington Chen.
The couple had been married 26 years, raising three children in their Siesta Key home.
Talman was later found to have a blood-alcohol content of between .223 and .222 — nearly three times the adult legal limit.
Read more about the Jan. 7, 2012, accident and Talman's troubled past.
At 2 p.m. Monday, Talman is anticipated to enter a plea deal. He faces 11 to 15 years in prison for DUI manslaughter.
The plea bargain could potentially expedite Talman's sentencing and punishment and spare Chen's family the pain of a long, drawn-out trial that relives the painful memories of the fatal crash.
Controversy has surrounded the sequence of events leading to Chen's death because, on three separate occasions Jan. 7, Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputies had conversations with the 22-year-old Bradenton resident before he struck and killed Chen.
The last time the deputies saw Talman and his passenger in the crash, 24-year-old David J. Brewer of Sarasota, the two men were walking to a Siesta Key beach, according to a January 2012 report from the Pelican Press.
Deputies ran background checks on Talman, Brewer and their companion, Michael E. Blakey, 26, of North Port, after the first encounter but let the three men leave after the checks turned up no outstanding warrants.
It was not until later, according to the Sheriff's Office, that the agency learned Talman had a record of six felony arrests and 23 misdemeanors, while Brewer had a record of four felony arrests and 11 misdemeanors.
According to a check of Sarasota County Clerk of Court records, Talman last was convicted in April 2011 of driving while his license was suspended.
Because neither Talman nor Brewer displayed rude behavior or were disorderly, deputies had no grounds to make an arrest. They did, however, arrest Blakey about 12:30 p.m. on a charge of Disorderly Intoxication.
The Florida Highway Patrol later said Chen was killed about 1:10 p.m., after she was struck by Talman's 2000 Nissan Altima as he was fleeing from another accident on Midnight Pass Road.
Attorney's familiar with the case said that the evidence against Talman was overwhelming, and he almost certainly would have been convicted had the case gone to trial.
The results of Talman's plea deal are expected to be announced Monday afternoon.

November 22, 2014
COMPTON, Calif. (AP) - Three Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies are being credited with rescuing a woman trapped in a burning garage in Compton.
Sheriff's officials say the deputies arrived at the burning building Saturday afternoon to find a woman trapped inside and a man trying to break through a wall with a shovel.
The deputies used the shovel to pry part of the wall away and pulled the woman out.
The woman, who was not immediately identified, suffered burns to her body. One of the deputies suffered minor burns to one of his hands.
City News Service reports that the woman, the deputy and two men who had gotten out of the garage on their own were taken to a hospital for treatment of burns.
