(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
The changes to the minutes were as follows: under
Mr. Raymond Belleville, 176 Marsh Road said he received a letter from the Department of Environmental Services ('DES'), dated March 10, 2003, which informed that Mr. Bergeron's junkyard did not comply with the 90-day requirement to have monitoring wells dug. A 30-day extension had been requested by Mr. Bergeron, which was denied by DES. Mr. Belleville said that the DES hired Westin Solutions to investigate potential sources of MtBE contamination in the
Selectmen Liaison Assignments
Mr. Lynde read the list of Selectmen liaison assignments. Mr. Danevich asked that consideration be given to appoint him as an alternate to the Planning Board (exofficio position).
Mr. Lynde asked that Mr. Gaydos work with the CIP to stay informed. Mr. Gaydos said that during the budget process a three to five year plan would be submitted by each department so that the Selectmen Representatives could bring it forward for Board of Selectmen review. Mr. McDevitt asked that a copy of the CIP report be submitted to the Selectmen. Mr. Danevich said the purpose of the CIP was for long-term planning over seven years to visualize tax rate impacts. He said that major expenses could be tracked through the document. He said just because an item was included in the CIP did not mean that it would automatically have a warrant article. He reiterated that the CIP was a tracking document. Mr. Lynde felt the Selectmen should be more involved in the planning aspects.
Scope changes - Mr. Gaydos had no scope changes for presentation.
Approval of Tree Donation Program - Mr. McDevitt handed out, and reviewed a plan showing the location of existing and proposed trees/bushes for the
Mr. Bergeron confirmed that the fund would be for the maintenance of the trees. Mr. Gaydos said that the company installing the trees would maintain for two years. Mr. Bergeron asked if more trees could be added at a later date, and if so, would there be similar donation program. Mr. Lynde said that the donation program did not set a precedent, but could be used as a guideline. Mr. McDevitt said that language could be added to the donation program language that specified additional trees could be planted in the future. There were no objections to the suggested language addition.
(McDevitt/Bergeron) To authorize the establishment of the Village Green Tree Fund for the purpose of accepting donations in various amounts, the money is to be set aside for future maintenance and/or replacement, and/or add ional trees to the Village Green. Donors will be recognized with a stone marker.
(4 - 0 - 1) The motion carries. Mr. Derby abstained.
Village Green roadway - Mr. Gaydos said that the roadway accessing the
Planning Department changes - Mr. Gaydos said that the Planning Department had been designed as open-concept, but the architect felt that the space needed to be broken up, so pillars had been added. He said after further discussion with the people utilizing the area, the feedback was to remove the pillars so that the layout of desks could be shifted if desired in the future. Mr. Gaydos said that the removal of the pillars would be easy, since they were roughed in, and not yet had sheet rock installed. He felt the removal would be minor, but awaited the figures for removal. Mr. Bergeron asked if there was a way to divide the employees if the pillars were removed. Mr. Gaydos said the desks were organized for traffic flow, but could be adjusted into a different configuration. He said the pillars would prohibit the adjustment of the desks. Mr. Gaydos would discuss with the Selectmen further once the costs were determined.
Miscellaneous - Mr. Gaydos said that the Town inspectors had provided comment regarding the building and all appear to be satisfied.
Discussion of ongoing site development review - Escrow Accounts - Inspections
Mr. Gaydos said that the warmer weather brought construction, which affected the Planning Department, and further the third party review. He said that developers place money into escrow accounts, which specifically pays for the review of specific tasks within their development. He said that the Planning Department staff was diligently providing answers to developers regarding their accounts. He said Planning Department has indicated to developers, while the accounts are being reviewed for deficiencies/outstanding questions, deposits should be labeled for future work only, so continued inspections could occur. He said that some developers have indicated that they would pay, but had not yet done so. He asked the Selectmen how the Planning Department should proceed. Mr. Lynde confirmed that the ongoing investigation was to determine what monies had been paid, and for which projects. He said there were ongoing projects that needed verification through third party review. These are funded by escrow accounts that need additional funds. Mr. Gaydos answered yes.
Mr. Gaydos said the Planning Director meets with the Town's engineering company to determine what costs and inspections would be needed within each phase of developments. He said the Planning Director then writes a letter to the developer indicating the current assessment of funds, and what is needed to be deposited into the escrow accounts. He said if developers have questions regarding their escrow account status over the past few years, they are informed that it is currently being reviewed.
Mr. Danevich said that the Planning Board had been discussing escrow accounts for the past few years. He said it was unclear what benefit the Town had by maintaining an escrow account. He said in other communities developers contracted with engineering firms directly. He pointed out that over the past three months escrow account handling had consumed the staff members of the Planning Department. Mr. Lynde said one concern was having the developer hire the person reviewing their development. Mr. McDevitt said that procedure could be set up so the Town could be comfortable with the developers hiring the engineering firms. He said a possibility would be to have three engineering companies, and require the developers to rotate who reviewed their developments.
The Selectmen discussed further the current situation. Mr. Danevich informed that per state law, a building permit within a bonded subdivision could not be held up. He noted that a certificate of occupancy could be held. He said if a developer was continuing work without inspections, it was work done at risk because an inspector could ask him to return to an inspection point. Mr. Lynde said the problem with holding a certificate of occupancy was that the developer would not be hurt, but the people buying the lot would end up being penalized. Mr. McDevitt suggested that Mr. Gaydos seek opinion from legal. Mr. Lynde wanted to know if a property lien could be placed so a buyer would be aware of any problems. Mr. Gaydos will seek counsel's opinion and report back to the Selectmen.
Discussion of bench donations - postponed
Discussion of fence donations - postponed
RFP for engineering services
Mr. Lynde informed that the Planning Board had drafted an RFP for engineering services that was under review. He said if the Selectmen had any comments they should be submitted. He said there may be a need to have more than one engineering firm, since certain firms have specific specialties. Mr. Danevich reviewed the document (drafted by Planning Board member Robin Bousa). He suggested that there had been discussion regarding splitting the up front planning review, and the inspection services. He said a current void was wetlands review, which may require a third firm. Mr. Gaydos was under the impression that the current firm reviewed wetlands. Mr. Danevich informed that the current firm had not provided wetland information to the Planning Board. There was a brief discussion regarding how plans had been reviewed in the past. Mr. Lynde reiterated that comments should be submitted so that the Planning Board could work toward completion of the RFP.
Mr. Gaydos said a situation had been brought to his attention regarding a tree in a cul-de-sac on
Mr. Gaydos said that he would be meeting with people from
Mr. Danevich asked that the Audio-Visual for Sherburne Hall be added to a future adventure.
Mr. Bergeron informed that the Regional Water District met last Thursday, and would meet again this Thursday. He said that New Hampshire Senate would hold a hearing regarding House Bill 361 (water district) on
Mr. Derby had no report.
Mr. McDevitt said that the Municipal Building Committee would meet at the
Mr. Lynde reviewed the available positions on the various boards. He discussed the agenda items for the upcoming meetings.
(Derby/Bergeron) Request for a non-public session per RSA 91-A:3,II, a (Personnel)

Interpreting the Unemployment Rate (Michael Pakko Commentary)
Posted 1/20/2014 12:00 am
Updated 11 months ago
The most commonly cited measure of labor market conditions is the unemployment rate, defined as the ratio of number of employed to number of labor force participants.
But the unemployment rate expresses itself as a fraction of the labor force, it provides an incomplete picture, and it can give misleading signals. During the recent recession and recovery, for example, labor force participation has fallen sharply — and unlike unemployment rates, participation rates have shown little sign of recovery.
For example, when labor market conditions are weak and jobs are scarce, job seekers sometimes become discouraged and stop seeking employment altogether. When this happens, they are considered to have left the labor force and the unemployment rate might fall — even though the discouraged workers might more appropriately be classified as unemployed. There is evidence this has happened during the current slow recovery.
From the recession's start to peak unemployment in October 2009, the participation rate declined by one full percentage point (66 to 65 percent). During the same period, the participation rate in Arkansas declined by two percentage points (62.8 to 60.8 percent). Since then, participation rates have fallen even further. By December 2013 the participation rate for the U.S. had fallen below 63 percent; for Arkansas it was 58 percent. These rates represent cumulative declines of 3.2 and 4.8 percentage points, respectively.
Suppose that 100 percent of the decline in labor force participation was due to discouraged workers leaving the workforce. If all of those individuals were counted as unemployed, the current unemployment rate for the nation would be more than 11 percent. In Arkansas, the unemployment rate would be well more than 14 percent. These numbers are alarming, but they also overstate the economic impact of lower labor force participation rates.
First, participation rates were trending downward in recent years and would have continued to decline even in the absence of the recession. For decades, increasing participation rates by women had been offsetting a long-term decline in participation rates for men. But the increasing trend for women had leveled off during the past decade, leaving an overall downward trend.
The aging of the U.S. population has also been a contributing factor. As baby boomers reach traditional retirement age, the participation rate for that population is falling. Even though labor force participation rates among those 65 and older have been increasing in recent years, they are still far below the rates for prime working-age cohorts: In 2012, the U.S. participation rate in the 65-plus age bracket was a record high 18.5 percent. But the participation rate for 55- to 64-year-olds was 64.5 percent, and the rate for those aged 45 to 54 was 80.2 percent.
So the aging of the baby boomer generation lowers the overall average participation rate. The aging-population effect is also one reason that participation rates in Arkansas are lower and falling faster than the national average. The proportion of Arkansans aged 65 and over was 18.6 percent in 2012, compared with just 17.2 percent nationwide.
Another age demographic with a declining participation rate has been those at the younger end of the scale: 16- to 24-year-olds. One explanation for this trend is that an increasing number of younger workers are taking the time to attend college or other postsecondary training. With training and skills more highly valued in today's workforce than ever before, this is not surprising. Labor force participation rates for 16- to 24-year-olds are slightly higher than the national average in Arkansas, but in recent years we have seen declining trends for both the state and the nation.
Although existing trends and demographic changes would have caused participation rates to decline regardless of the recession, the economic downturn clearly had an impact. Both the data and anecdotal evidence suggest that many workers who were at or near retirement age have chosen to take early retirement rather than to continue in the labor force. Many of those will not be back and would have exited in the near future anyway. But there is also a contingent of discouraged workers who may return to the labor force when conditions improve. The dynamics of these developments will be important for interpreting movements in the unemployment rate as the economic recovery continues.
Michael Pakko is the state economic forecaster and an adjunct professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's College of Business.

First female cop hired in 1891, 22 years earlier than thought
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter Sep 30, 2010
Marie Owens is believed to be the first woman police officer in the United States.
You've come a long way, baby. But it didn't take as long as what was once thought.
The first female police officer in Chicago and the nation was hired in 1891 - 22 years earlier than previously assumed - and her name was Marie Owens.
At the urging of a dogged investigator and Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th), the City's Council's resident historian, Chicago aldermen agreed Thursday to correct the Police Department record after deciding on a fitting tribute to Owens, who specialized in enforcing child labor laws.
"I'd love to see a bronze statue, but perhaps the re-naming of a school. This is a woman who helped thousands of children," said Rick Barrett, who uncovered the evidence.
Owens was the daughter of Irish immigrants and the widowed mother of five who crusaded against children working in factory sweatshops, first as a Health Department investigator and later as a detective sergeant in the Chicago Police Department.
Her work was documented by Chicago newspapers at the time. But police records never reflected it, apparently because Owens was confused with another woman with the same last name who was a patrolman's widow.
The official record assumed that Chicago's first female police officer was hired in 1913 - five years after one was hired in Portland, Oregon and three years after Los Angeles hired one.
Enter Barrett, a former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent who hails from a long line of police officers and helped uncover evidence that established Constable James Quinn as the first Chicago Police officer killed in the line of duty in 1853.
Barrett stumbled upon Owens' name during the course of his broader research on the Police Department and dug through the dusty archives of the police pension fund to uncover the evidence: Owens retired in 1923 after 32 years on the force. She had a pension that amounted to half her police salary - $1,000 per year, or just over $83 per month.
The amateur historian read from an Op Ed article that Owens wrote in the Chicago Tribune in 1901 about her efforts to enforce child labor and compulsory education laws.
"When the work first began, a woman wearing a police sergeant's star was a novelty. Manufacturers, in some cases, were not inclined to admit me to their work shops. But, armed with the strong arm of the law and the will to do good, I soon found that, in most cases, the merchants met me half-way and rendered me great assistance," he quoted Owens as writing.
Barrett also quoted one of Owens' supervisors, Capt. O'Brien, as saying, "Give me men like she is a woman and we will have the model detective bureau of the whole world."
During Thursday's hearing, Burke and Assistant Superintendent Bea Coehlo, Chicago's highest-ranking female police officer, recalled that women wore badges on their civilian clothes - not uniforms - until 1946 and once carried .32-caliber revolvers while their male counterparts used .38 caliber.
"The days of wearing skirts and being assigned to youth or other administrative functions came to an end in 1975, when women were finally given the opportunity to work in patrol. Through their perseverance, women have increasingly been recognized for their ability and strength as true leaders," Coehlo said.
When Coehlo joined the department in 1987, women comprised just nine percent of the city's sworn officers. Now, it's 24 percent, including 300 female supervisors and eleven female members of the command staff.
After urging his colleagues to "right a wrong of history," Burke openly acknowledged that his book, End of Watch, also included the mistake by ignoring Owens.
"I can assure that, if we ever do a re-printing of this book, we will correct that error," he said.

School Counselor shaves boy's head
MIAMI -- A school district in Miami says a counselor's actions were not inappropriate, when the official shaved a students head.
The school had deemed the 11-year-old boy's Miami Heat-themed haircut distracting. The boy's step-father, a barber, gave the haircut, without permission from the boy's parents.

Just like last year, I'll be combing over box scores and scouring local beat writers' reports each morning to help ensure  you have all the information you need in order to make the right decisions for your fantasy baseball lineup. So make sure you check back at this very spot for Hot/Cold Streaks, Injury News, Closer Updates, Daily Stats, and more so that you can stay one step ahead of the rest of your league!
An as always, make sure you're getting your dose of daily fantasy baseball by playing the FP911 Challenge!
5 Good Nights, 5 Bad Nights
It's a fact of life that every baseball player goes through hot and cold streaks. It's important not to let those streaks influence a player's fantasy baseball value too much, but it is important to be aware of how a player is doing within a short period of time (a seven-day sorter is always a good tool to use). A player's short-term numbers can be the difference between winning and losing in daily games, and it can also make a huge difference in year-long leagues. For instance, if you can keep finding the second basemen on hot streaks and dropping them for another streaking second basemen once they get cold, you can piece together a very useful middle infielder-by-committee for your roto team. So before we get to today's games, let's take a spin through last night's box scores to identify who had a good night and who had a bad night on Wednesday, May 1st.
5 Good Nights
- Mike Napoli:Â 3-4, 3 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI
- Hunter Pence:Â 2-4, 2 R, HR, RBI, 1 steal
- Chase Headley:Â 2-4, 2 R, HR, RBI, 1 stealI
- Jordan Zimmerman:Â 8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 8 Ks, W
- Clay Buchholz:Â 7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K's, W
Honorable Mention: Ryan Raburn, Hanley Ramirez, Michael Saunders, Brett Gardner, Kendrys Morales, Pedro Florimon, Cliff Pennington, Brandon Belt, Jordany Valdespin, Angel Pagan, David Wright, Luke Scott, Howie Kendrick, Scott Feldman, Paul Maholm, Lance Lynn, Hiram Burgos, Aaron Harang, Chris Sale, Trevor Bauer, Scott Diamond
5 Bad Nights
- Wei-Yin Chen:Â 4.0 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 Ks
- Kenley Jansen:Â 0.0 IP, 2 H, 2 ER
- Josh Beckett:Â 4.0 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 Ks
- Seth Smith:Â 0-5
- Wilin Rosario:Â 0-5
Dishonorable Mention: Jon Axford, Bruce Rondon, David Hernandez, Heath Bell, Luis Mendoza, Erik Bedard, Justin Germano, Tim Lincecum, Andrew Cashner, David Phelps, Jeremy Hellickson, Dillon Gee, Mark Buehrle, Homer Bailey, Juan Nicasio, Nick Tepesch, Wade LeBlanc, Cliff Lee, Brandon McCarthy, Tommy Milone
Daily Grab Bag
Check back here for daily updates on injuries, closer battles, player news, and anything else that might affect your fantasy baseball team.
- Bryce Harper left last night's game after hurting his side during an attempt to save a home run off Tim Hudson's bat (yep, that Tim Hudson). He seems to have escaped any major injury thought and is currently listed as day-to-day.
- Coco Crisp has been placed on the 15-day DL with a strained hamstring, which should open up at-bats for Chris Young and Seth Smith.
- Brett Anderson was placed on the 15-day DL with a sprained ankle and will be replaced in the rotation by Dan Straily.
3 Up, 3 Down, and Throwing Darts
Starting and sitting the right pitchers on a day-to-day basis is often the lynchpin of winning any fantasy baseball league – roto, head-to-head, daily, and otherwise. In order to give you some help picking your pitchers for today, I've gone through all of the stats that I could (pitchers' career numbers vs. certain hitters and lineups, home/road splits, lefty/righty splits, etc) and have made nine recommendations. I'm not going to proclaim that I'll get these 100% correct all season, but anyone that does should be sitting on an island that they own in the Pacific – not writing fantasy baseball articles. The goal here is to play the odds the entire season and slowly build your "win" percentage closer to 100% than to 50%.
Here are today's recommendations with, 3 Up (three pitchers you shouldn't think of sitting), 3 Down (three pitchers with some warning flags for today), and Throwing Darts (three pitchers that I'll be taking a flier on):
3 Up
Kris Medlen vs. Washington Nationals
Ryan Dempster at Toronto Blue Jays
Ervin Santana vs. Tampa Bay Rays
3 Down
Dan Haren at Atlanta Braves
Jake Peavy at Texas Rangers
Josh Johnson vs. Boston Red Sox
Throwing Darts
Kyle Kendrick vs. Miami Marlins
Justin Grimm vs.  Chicago White Sox
Travis Wood vs. San Diego Padres
Swings and Misses
A hitter's career numbers against a pitcher don't always tell the whole story, but it can be informative if used correctly. I'm of the opinion that some information is better than none, and while there are other pieces to the puzzle of setting your daily lineup (splits, weather, etc.), I think a hitter's career numbers against a pitcher can be very indicative of future success or failure. Some guys just own certain pitchers, and vice versa. As such, I've gone through today's matchups and picked the best (and worst) matchups I could find. Anything less than 10-12 career at-bats is a relatively small sample-size (so take those with a grain of salt), but sometimes that's all that is available.
- B.J. Upton is 10-for-31 (.323) with five home runs in his career against today's starter, Dan Haren.
- Ryan Braun is 10-for-19 (.526) with one home run in his career against today's starter, Jake Westbrook.
- Alex Gordon is 15-for-31 (.484) with one home run in his career against today's starter, Roberto Hernandez.
- Luke Scott is 8-for-21 (.381) with two home runs in his career against today's starter, Ervin Santana.
- Edwin Encarnacion is 1-for-11 (.091) in his career against today's starter, Ryan Dempster.
- Rickie Weeks is 3-for-16 (.188) in eight career at-bats against today's starter, Jake Westbrook.
- Ben Zobrist is 2-for-13 (.154) in his career against today's starter, Ervin Santana.

400,000 Colorado Veterans
This Veterans Day, I want to honor the men and women who have bravely served our country in uniform. Through their hard work, selflessness and courage, our veterans represent the very best of our nation and what we strive to achieve. They risk their lives defending our country so each generation may continue to enjoy our many freedoms. My father was a World War II veteran, and I hold our military's returned heroes in the highest regard. From the shores of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, our troops have stood up against tyranny and made the world a safer, freer and more prosperous place.
Today, 400,000 veterans — over half of the total number in the Rocky Mountain West — call Colorado home. They have served our country honorably in World War II and Korea, in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf, in Iraq and Afghanistan. But Veterans Day is about more than just thanking these heroes for their service; it's also about remembering how much we still owe them. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, assisting veterans is one of my top legislative priorities. I hear from many veterans about the difficulties they face in transitioning back to civilian life, and I want to ensure that all veterans have access to the jobs, health care and educational opportunities they deserve.
The unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans is currently 9.7 percent, almost two points higher than the civilian unemployment rate. This disparity is unacceptable. Veterans have the skills, discipline and work ethic to succeed after returning home, but many of them find it difficult to adapt these skills to civilian career fields.
That's why I am calling on Congress to pass the Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012. The bill would create a job corps to employ veterans in fields such as conservation, resource management, law enforcement and firefighting. This common-sense bill is important for our veterans and our economy. It helps veterans translate their military experience into civilian jobs.
I hope my colleagues from both sides of the aisle will work together to pass this legislation when we return to Washington in November. Our veterans have important skills and experiences to contribute, and it is our duty to ensure they can match those skills with job opportunities when they come home.

Riveroaks Elementary School's Library will be recognized at the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities' (LEH) annual awards event scheduled March 21 at Houmas House in Darrow. The Library and Librarian Kara Davis will receive a plaque for hosting PRIME TIME FAMILY READING TIME®, a family literacy program.
PRIME TIME, a six- or eight-week reading and discussion program, includes sessions on such humanities themes as fairness, greed, courage, cleverness and determination. A discussion leader and a storyteller introduce parents to the benefits and pleasures of reading and discuss stories with their children. Eighteen families participated in the program this year.
The goals of the program include changing attitudes and behaviors toward reading and learning together. "This program expands the families understanding of reading through the use of children's literature and substantial humanities content," said PRIME TIME Co-Director Faye Flanagan. "Ultimately, the goal is to transform these families into active library users and lifelong learners."
Michael Sartisky, President/Executive Director of the LEH, believes this program is "in keeping with the mission of reaching people historically underserved by humanities organizations and public libraries because of their low-literacy levels or because English is a second language. PRIME TIME models replicable reading, discussion and storytelling techniques for parents, no matter what their reading level may be."
To date, PRIME TIME programs have been held at 887 Louisiana sites and 37 other American sites continues to expand. PRIME TIME is sponsored by the LEH, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the State of Louisiana. LEH is a private statewide, non-profit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
For more information, call Kara Davis at (225) 272-2536.

NEW YORK -- Natural gas futures surged to a 21-month high Friday, extending their rally for a third session on tightening inventories and persistent cold weather expected to boost demand for gas-fired heating.
Natural gas for May delivery settled 8.3 cents, or 2%, higher at $4.222/MMBTU on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That is the highest settlement for a front-month contract since July 28, 2011.
Futures climbed 2.4% this week in a rally fueled by tightening natural gas inventories and stubbornly cold temperatures across key parts of the country, keeping demand for heating elevated into spring.
On Thursday, the Energy Information Administration said U.S. gas stockpiles fell 14 Bcf the week of April 5. Typically this time of year, stockpiles begin to climb as milder spring temperatures curb demand for natural gas.
Inventories now stand at 1,673 Bcf, 3.8% below the five-year average level for this time of year, and 32.5% below last year' s level.

The terms of insurance policies differ however in general an insurance company will normally accept a claim under collision coverages for damages sustained to your vehicle caused by a hit and run driver.
When you see that your car has been damaged by an unknown, hit and run, driver you should contact law enforcement to make a report. Your insurer may not require the police report but it is better to have it than need it and not to have made a police report.
When you use your collision coverage to repair your vehicle remember that the deductible will be due that you choose for that portion of your policy at its inception.
Collision coverage typically cover damages to your car when your car hits, or is hit by, another vehicle, or other object. A hit and run that clearly shows another car or object collided with your vehicle should be covered under your collision coverages.
Comprehensive coverage covers your vehicle for losses resulting from incidents other than collision. For example, comprehensive insurance covers loss caused by missiles, falling objects, fire, theft or larceny, explosion, earthquake, windstorm, hail, water, flood, malicious mischief or vandalism, riot or civil commotion, colliding with a bird or animal, or breakage of glass.
So unless when your claims adjuster views the car he or she determines that an animal or falling object or anything else covered under your comprehensive coverages damaged your vehicle than it would be a collision claim normally.
Read through the terms of your policy and speak to your agent about making a report for the damages your vehicle sustained by a hit and run accident to verify your collision coverages would be used in your specific situation.

Dash Cam Video and Dispatch Audio Released from Walmart Shooting
BEAVERCREEK -- Newly released dash cam video and dispatch audio recordings from the night of the officer involved shooting inside the Walmart in Beavercreek allows us to hear what officers heard as they arrived on the scene... and hear what was said just moments after the shooting.
Beavercreek's City Attorney released the five discs of information Thursday afternoon.
"Black male, six-foot, wearing a blue shirt blue pants in the pets section, holding a gun," said dispatchers to Beavercreek officers.
Police rush to the Walmart in Beavercreek after a man calls 911.
"I have a gentleman who's watching him who says he's waving it around, believes it's a rifle, believes he just put some bullets inside," said the dispatcher to police.
"90, I'm at Walmart, you said he was pointing it at people?" said an officer as he arrived on the scene.
"Affirmative, he's in the pet section," said the dispatcher in response.
Dash cam video shows an officer in white walking toward a cruiser with a rifle in his hand.
A few seconds later that same officer is joined by another in full uniform.
They walk into the Walmart together.
Within seconds, several Beavercreek cruisers arrive and more officers rush in.
This is what we hear....
"Suspect down," said an officer inside the Walmart.
Inaudible ... "Just had shots fired, start an ambulance," said another officer inside the store.
Medics drive up to the scene and head inside.
In the midst of the chaos...
"There's a female customer back in the sporting goods section that's having a medical emergency I'll need an additional medic for her," said an officer inside the store.
"76, our second patient is in full arrest, just FYI," said medics to dispatchers.
The second medic was for Angela Williams, who collapsed from an apparent medical condition after the shooting.
A few minutes later, medics come out with a patient and put that person into the medic.
After the medic leaves the two officers who first ran into the Walmart are seen walking out.
The one in full uniform is still carrying his weapon. The other no longer has his rifle.
Several minutes later, this request is made to dispatch.
"Contact the on-call Greene County Prosecutor. We're going to need him to respond to the scene," said an officer to dispatch.

The restaurant can get smokey and you will guaranteed walk out of there smelling like BBQ, wish the vents were a little stronger to suck all the smoke out.
Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant
Daorae serves a wide variety of Korean dishes. Daorae operates by the motto 'the customers is always right', thus their main objective is to provide good services to their customers.
d_luaz postedSuperb
Daorae is a fairly good Korean restaurant franchise, where customers sit on the wooden floor-like with holes in it, the free to refill side dishes, and of cause the expensive and delicious BBQ meat. The service is quick and friendly, and it is not too crowded.

Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant
They serve authentic korean dishes…Daorae serves high quality food with simple, relax environment…The other good thing about Korean restaurant is the unlimited refill of Ban-Chan (small dishes served along with meal). The most popular and common small dishes is Kimchi.

Visited this branch on 2nd Mar 2014. Found a plastic wrapper debris in my side dish. So I asked for manager, but the waiter refused and took the side dish away and just changed a new one for me, without any apologies.
Bar.B.Q Plaza
a place where you can do-it-yourself cooking on top of da table
Pas De Nom posted chillout-soulout-freakout.blogspot.com 183 ReviewsSuperb
We usually think about Thai food we will think of their Tom Yam soup, Pad Thai Noodles and their Green Curry cuisine. We are very glad now that there are something more can add on the list which is their BBQ meat. The difference is not the same than the Korean BBQ that I usually blog on. This is more to DIY BBQ and also their meat is original and not marinated. So the one and only BBQ meat in Thai style is at Bar B Q Plaza.

WACK posted wonderfoodtravel.blogspot.com 25 ReviewsExceptional
Upon entering the restaurant, i noticed each table has a hot plate on it. The tables were divided into two: one low enough that allows us to sit on the floor and eat, and another for us to sit on the chair. We sat, a bottle of water was brought to our table, and we began placing our orders. We ordered hot plate chicken (minimum of 2 persons, so we chose one Original and one Spicy) and Ramen noodles. See blog for more!

relishbyrae posted relishbyrae.blogspot.com 14 ReviewsExceptional
The sliced chicken was tender, the cabbage was cooked to slightly softer and the rice cake was just so yummy. And we were glad we ordered the udon as the 2 portion of Dak Galbi seem slightly small for a couple. So, if you were to go in a group of men, you might want to order slightly more depending on your appetite. You do feel like having fried kuey tiao at some point but the secret recipe of the sauce has made the taste somewhat more delicious. It does not taste even close to Kimchi as it is not sour, but something you should really give it a try.

Important Notice
July 19, 2014
Newtown Campus
10:00 a.m. - Noon
A replicated crime scene will be set-up for students to view and even practice proper evidence collection techniques. Once students have visited the crime scene they will then report to the laboratory where they will take part in 6 hands-on activities. Each activity will cover individual aspects of forensic science:
Activity one: Fingerprint analysis – students will be able to practice the following techniques to uncover what prints were found at the crime scene.
Activity two: Blood type analysis – students will perform a simulated blood typing test to uncover whether the blood found at the crime scene matches any of the blood samples collected from the suspects.
Activity three: Chromatography – students will learn how to distinguish a variety of black writing utensils (permanent marker vs. ballpoint pen) based on pigment composition.
Activity four: Fiber analysis – students will actually be using a flame to see how different fiber samples react when introduced to a flame (smell, speed at which they burn, ash residue, etc.). They will also visualize the fiber samples with magnification to observe the differences at the microscopic level.
Activity five: Mineral and soil analysis – students will analyze samples of soil, glass, dust, and metal traces in order to place or eliminate a suspect's presence at the crime scene.
Activity six: Impressions -students will have a chance to replicate shoe impressions left at the crime scene by making their own foam impressions.
We hope that students will enjoy exploring the fascinating technology of forensic science and will leave with an appreciation for how detectives and scientists work to figure out unsolvable thefts, arsons, mysteries, and more!

From infants to young adults, Reid's Children's Therapy Services addresses every area of your child's development - physical, emotional, social and language. Through active play and one-to-one training, we help your children reach their top potential as they storm a fort, climb a mountain, slide down a tree, swing from the rafters, take a ride on a zip line rock climb and jump in a ball pit. Each activity is fun and games for them, but our therapists are working hard to help each child grow stronger in their overall development.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists evaluate and treat infants, children and young adults with neurological, orthopedic or developmental delay problems. They look for and address:
In addition, our facility includes a state-of-the-art aquatic therapy pool and our MASS system, which provides partial support for body weight. The MASS system may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan to help increase your child's ability to move independently during therapies.
Occupational Therapy
A child's occupation is to grow and play. Our occupational therapists guide children to reach their maximum potential and independence in all areas, including fine motor skills (handwriting, tying shoes or buttoning a shirt), self-care skills, oral motor and feeding habits, and sensory processing skills.
Speech-Language Pathology
Our speech-language pathologists identify and treat speech and language disorders such as articulation concerns, "late" talking and other language learning problems. We assess and treat your child's communication skills and teach parents strategies to help their children communicate better at home and in the community.
Social Work
Our social workers collaborate with therapists to provide a supportive environment for parents. They assist parents with insurance, behavior, and school issues and refer families to appropriate community resources when needed. We also can provide family counseling, child/parent counseling, parenting skills training and infant mental health support.
Nutrition & Exercise
Your child's nutrition and eating patterns are vital to overall growth and development. We'll help you find the right foods that will have even the pickiest of eaters eating healthy and growing strong. We also provide you with tips that can get your child up and moving for that much needed daily exercise. And discuss which foods you should avoid or only give your child in moderation. We can also help you assess what is a healthy weight for your child and provide you with information on how you can promote overall healthy behaviors in your home. We also have a special program, STOP, for school-aged children and adolescents who are struggling with weight management to live healthier, more active lifestyles.
Early Intervention
Our pediatric therapists are also specialists in early intervention. From birth to age 5, children develop at an accelerated rate. Problems during this period can have long-term effects on the child's development. Our therapists have undergone and continue to undergo extensive, additional training to stay on the cutting edge of treating these young patients. Children respond faster and with much less difficulty when developmental problems are identified at an early age. Often, children will see multiple therapists, and a team approach identifies children who are falling behind the normal developmental milestones. Depending on the child's age, the therapists will assess things like crawling, walking, hand-eye coordination, communication, feeding, social interaction and play skills to determine developmental status.
