LIDGERWOOD, N.D. — Prior to Thursday, it had been awhile since the Valley City Post 60 American Legion baseball team had to hit off Wahpeton pitcher Jeremy Bontjes. By Post 60 coach Jason Beilke's count, It had been roughly two years since he pitched against Valley City at the Sectional tournament in 2010.
So much for getting reacquainted.
Bontjes threw a no hitter in Wahpeton's 11-0, five inning win over Post 60 in the semifinals of the Section 1 tournament in Lidgerwood.
I am just a humble dog. My name is Shya Ingstad. My home dog country is America. I will defend her.
I look out on my prairie-past the farm yards of plenty. Through the lush cow pastures and from the banks of each river I swim I see an America founded on core values my foredoggers put in place for me.
I see an America where I'm free to be me, Shya Ingstad-an imperfect hound of mixed breed.
A break from an intense heat wave arrived in the area this week, and it looks to be hanging around for the weekend according to graphical forecast data from the National Weather Service in Grand Forks.
Friday's low temperature will see the mercury sinking to 60 degrees with a 5 percent chance of rain and wind speeds at 10 mph or less. The wind speeds will remain in that range throughout the weekend.
St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Valley City will be hosting a free indoor concert by the Christian band Koiné on Monday at 7 p.m. Prior to the concert, St. Paul's will have a family activity night held outside on the church property from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will be a variety of games and activities for children of all ages.
The church will also serve hot dogs, pop, water, chips and cotton candy for a low price.
A Valley City woman was arrested Wednesday night on a warrant for allegedly having sexual contact with a female victim under the age of 15.
Felita Bravebull Bredeson, 20, of Valley City, was taken into custody on suspicion of the crime.
"She was arrested for Gross Sexual Imposition, " said Valley City Police Detective Mark McDonald. "It did occur in Valley City and it did involve a 14-year-old Valley City resident."

The Process Of Pellet Making Explained
Pellet making is a subject that is interesting more and more people, particularly in the area of producing fuel pellets, for example wood pellets.
So what is involved in pellet making, and what materials can be processed into pellets. Making wood pellets today is what most people are interested in. Due to the general rising price of oil and gas and concerns over global warming, wood pellets have seen a rapid growth. With the increase in the purchase of pellet stoves and boilers more people are interested in how this fuel is made, and is it possible to make the pellets on a small scale. The next few years will see a dramatic rise in large scale pellet production plants, however there is also an opportunity to produce wood pellets on a small scale. To produce wood pellets the wood must have a low moisture content, or drying equipment will be required. The wood must also be reduced to a small uniform sized dust before it can be compressed into a pellet. Once a dry uniform dust is obtained the material can then be processed into pellets. Through sufficient heat and pressure the wood is shaped into pellets. Other raw materials besides wood can also be used in pellet making, see left for examples. This includes purpose grown energy crops such as miscanthus, switchgrass and hemp. It also includes agricultural waste materials left over from food production, for example wheat straw, barely straw and corn stalks. All of these raw biomass materials can be processed for making pellets. Making pellets from these biomass materials is often easier and has a lower power consumption than producing wood pellets, so are worth considering. Please click the link below and you will be able to watch several videos on making pellets. Including our small pellet maker.

Since the first article, "The Molesworth Institute", appeared in the ALA Bulletin (57:756-7, 1963). Over 50 articles describing the results of specialized research carried out by the staff of the Institute have appeared in all of the major American professional library journals, as well as in library journals in Brazil, Italy, Russia, and Sweden. Its most recent article, "The First Fully Electronic Library", appears in the January 2006 issue of College & Research Libraries and variant versions have, or will, be published in France, Italy, and Sweden. In addition to the research staff, there are now 84 Fellows of the Molesworth Institute who assist in the furtherance of the organization's work.
While its primary focus is on library humor (its Archives of Library Humor is the most extensive of its kind), the Institute has developed a sizeable collection of library postcards and commemorative and souvenir china all of which is now located in the Centre Canadienne d'Architecture. Other significant collections include a file of prominent individuals who worked in libraries, a file of more than 1,000 quotations relating to librarians and libraries, a collection of more than 1,000 postcards depicting books and reading, a large collection of children's books dealing with books, reading, librarians, and libraries, and a collection of several hundred objects in the shape of books. The children's books are now part of the Northeast Children's Literature Collection (NCLC) in the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. The other collections, along with the Archives of the Institute, will eventually be housed in the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center as well.
The headquarters of the Institute is located on 143 Hanks Hill Road, in Storrs, CT, which also happens to be the office of Norman D. Stevens, the director of the University Libraries at the University of Connecticut.

Reviews for the Gateway LT2085u
Source: Comp Reviews
Gateway has gone back to the roots of the netbook class laptops by providing an extremely affordable option. This will certainly attract those people looking to get a low cost option for compact connectivity. For the most part, it isn't all that different from most other netbooks but they did have to skimp in a few areas to keep the price low.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 08/30/2011
Rating: Total score: 60%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N570: Dual core Atom processor with a slightly higher clock rate than the Atom N550 and therefore still slower than the CULV processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Gateway: Gateway, Incorporated. is a computer hardware company based in California which develops, manufactures, supports, and markets a wide range of personal computers, computer monitors, servers, and computer accessories. AOL acquired Gateway.net, the online component of Gateway Inc., in 1999. 2007, Acer completed its acquisition of Gateway for approximately US$710 million. The market share outside of the US market is rather low.

"Smash" songwriter Scott Wittman resurrects a Warhol glamour gal at La MaMa
"Jukebox Jackie" is a mad little extravaganza that celebrates Jackie Curtis, a gender-bending performer and writer who was, among other things, a Warhol superstar and a downtown pioneer of the glitter rock scene of the 1970s.
Opening on Wednesday at La MaMa, "Jukebox Jackie" is a collage of scenes, poetry, film and songs written by or associated with Curtis, who died of a heroin overdose in 1985. Don't expect to get a comprehensive biography here so much as an atmospheric impression of a self-dramatizing glamour puss who thrived on the stardust of old movies and late nights in the back room at Max's Kansas City.
This show has been conceived by "Hairspray" and "Smash" songwriter Scott Wittman, who assembled the intermittently frail material with Tony Zanetta and directs the 90-minute proceedings, which more or less sees Jackie cavorting in a heaven of his/her own mind.
Jackie awakes amid fuchsia-colored drapes and purple glitter to unload for us a trunk full of memories, play fragments, poetry, film clips and songs. Some of the scrapbook stuff is third-rate Ronald Tavel-ish trash, but other texts like the long poem "B-Girls," prove to be colorful evocations of the 1960s-70s-80s hipster scene that titillated New York way back when.
Of course, what was so deliciously shocking then looks mighty quaint today.
The show turns out to be mostly an agreeable nostalgia fest thanks to a personable cast, a dynamically performed song stack from the period ("Lady Stardust," "Crystal Ship," "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" etc., among a dozen others) that is backed by a tasty six-member orchestra led by Lance Horne, and Wittman's very sharp, swift direction of it all.
Ever a tart presence, Justin Vivian Bond of "Kiki and Herb" fame wears a tousled blond wig, blue-lidded make-up and usually a flowered housedress as Jackie. Eschewing his drunken Kiki persona to enjoyably chew the draperies as the gaily exuberant Jackie, Bond evolves into a surprisingly touching figure for the show's later poignant moments.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Spoiler: "A" Has Changed Their Mind About…
"A" — whether we're talking Mona (Janel Parrish), Toby (Keegan Allen), or their potential leader — is clearly obsessed with the Liars on Pretty Little Liars. It seems obvious that, for whatever reason, the "A" team has it out for the girls.
Presumably, that means everyone on the team has their mind made up about why they hate the girls enough to torture them. But that doesn't mean they can't change their minds about other things.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
As we've seen, in the past the "A" team generally seemed to think Emily (Shay Mitchell) was the weakest link in the group. But according to writer Joseph Daughtry, that's changed in the wake of the Season 3 summer finale (Season 3, Episode 12: "The Lady Killer").
When a fan recently asked Joseph, "If A views Emily as the weak link, who do they view as the strong link?" he replied, "Oh, I think "A" has another opinion of Em now."
Given that our girl not only survived Nate's (Sterling Sulieman) attack, but also saved Paige (Lindsey Shaw) with her quick thinking by running away and, oh yeah, stabbed Nate to death, we'd be re-thinking her "weakness," too. Emily may seem vulnerable, but she's made of some pretty tough stuff.
If Em isn't considered the weakest link anymore, does that mean the "A" team is going to start targeting someone else harder? Who do you think it will be? We're thinking maybe Spencer (Troian Bellisario), since she'll be easiest for Toby to undermine.
Don't miss the next new episode of PLL, the Halloween special, on Tuesday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Subversion access with svn+ssh
<-- Back to Documentation
The most basic method for accessing Subversion repositories under your csoft.net account is the svn+ssh protocol, which uses the SSH protocol to secure communication between your Subversion client and the server. When connecting via svn+ssh, the client-side URL looks like:
svn+ssh://email@example.com/path svn+ssh://email@example.com/path
The svn+ssh method requires the use of real Unix accounts and Unix file permissions (unlike the svnserve and DAV methods, which use different authentication mechanisms). You can connect using your main csoft.net account, or use different accounts. Accounts created via "Subversion Service / SVN Accounts" in the web interface (or "svn add" in the shell interface) are restricted to Subversion access. It is also possible to connect using a general-purpose web/ftp/shell account (created via "Unix Accounts" in the web, or "subacct add" in the command-line).
For SVN-only accounts, you may want to use SSH public keys for convenient passwordless authentication. You can manage SSH public keys for SVN accounts by clicking on the account in the "SVN Accounts" list from the web interface (or using the "svn pubkey" commands in the CLI).
Since the svn+ssh method relies regular Unix permissions, you will need to make sure that the SVN users have access to the repository files. If you have a group of users working on a same project, it is a good idea to create a corresponding Unix group for them (see "Unix Groups" in the web interface, or use the "group" commands in the CLI). Then, from the "Files" section of the web interface, you can change the group ownership of the repository to the new group (click "Edit" under the "Group" header; the change will be applied recursively). Alternatively, you may also use chmod and chgrp directly from your shell.

In part 1 of the Walk Applied series, we discussed the bride of Christ, and how we know that to be the bride of Christ, we must be saved. In part 2 of the Walk Applied series, we talked about some of the properties of what it means to be saved. Then, in part 3 of the Walk Applied series, we talked about the Fall and why Free Will and choice made the Fall necessary. Now, in Part 4, we will begin to examine Idolatry as the consequence of the Fall.
When Adam and Eve fell, we observe some very significant and profound consequences. First, there was death as a spiritual being. Adam and Eve did not die in the flesh; indeed, it was a spiritual death. Second, they now knew the difference between good and evil. No surprise there! The tempter's admonition was indeed true; God concurs by saying that Adam and Eve had now become like God in that "they now knew the difference between god and evil" later in Gen. 3. Third, we note that fear, shame & guilt made them afraid. Fourth, blame now entered the picture. Adam and Eve now realized they were naked, and they certainly saw each other quite differently than they saw each other than before. Thus, their behavior was now quite different.
Arguably, the most significant consequence was that of being banished. To be sure, there was no letting them stay. Had Adam and Eve eaten of the Tree of Life in their sinful state, they would have stayed alive forever in their sinful state. Indeed, they would have been Lucifer's subjects forever. It goes without saying this was not God's plan! As Roseanne Roseannadanna (For those of you who remember the very funny Gilda Radner) might have said: "You got yourselves a real mess!"
The emotion they must have felt at that moment must have been staggering. The guilt, shame and regret must have been overwhelming! It's no great leap of logic to assume that there was great dread. After all, who would now take care of them? Every need had been fully supplied; fear of anything happening to them was unthinkable. Now, they would have to fend for themselves. Gone were the days of security. Surely, insecurity became a big part of them.
Based on Adam and Eve's experience, it is not difficult to extract what makes up our sinful flesh in the natural realm: guilt, shame, insecurity and idolatry. The same guilt, shame and insecurity that came to wreak havoc on our two original parents surely are an unfortunate but innate and intrinsic part of us. It follows that in the pathetic state of the sinful flesh we find ourselves in leads to idolatrous worship – we will worship whatever we believe will bring us security and protect us.
Next time, in part 5 of the Walk Applied series, we will begin to examine the two main types of Idolatry: Rebellion idolatry and Need idolatry
The Walk Applied Series: Part 1: Jesus bride is the reason why we are here
The Walk Applied Series: Part 2: Salvation is not a covenant of works
The Walk Applied Series: Part 3: Why the Fall?

What We're Listening to This Week
Henry Butler, Steven Bernstein and the Hot Nines: Viper's Drag (Impulse!, 2014)
A sizzling reinvention of 1920s jazz and blues by New Orleans pianist Henry Butler and New York trumpeter Steven Bernstein, incandescently backed by the Hot Nines. The songs are old, reaching back to Buddy Bolden and Fats Waller, but the interpretation is fresh, furious and urgent. In a word: contemporary. Butler has earned his accolades, but his records often haven't done justice to his live performances. Viper's Drag is a welcome exception. Rarely has Butler's playing sounded so spirited. A minor classic.
Soldiers of Jah Army (SoJA): Amid the Noise and Haste (ATO, 2014 )
SoJA is probably the best American reggae band and after a decade or so out on the road Amid the Noise and Haste is their best record: accomplished, confident and groovy. Youthful stridency has been sacrificed for a soulful irreverence. There's no sign that the band is slowing down; it's just digging deeper and striking more decisively toward the roots.
Black Wine: Yell Boss (Don Giovanni 2014)
Brash punk from a New Jersey trio that really knows how to rock. They're smart, funny and inventive. The songs are short and punchy with addictive hooks. Black Wine's crushing cover of the Guess Who's "No Time" is a triumph of the unexpected. The title of the album serves notice to their neighbor Springsteen that some of the ground he once claimed as his own is now otherwise occupied.
Nils Lofgren: Face the Music (Fantasy 2014)
Does it truly require nine CDs and a DVD to provide an assessment of a professional hanger-on, a career sideman among other sidemen? Nils Lofrgen is a competent guitarist, a frail singer and a mediocre songwriter. Lofgren has thrived in the greenhouse of greater talents, namely Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. If you want to hear Lofgren at his best check out his not negligible contribution to Tonight's the Night. But the corpulent bulk of Face the Music can only appeal to groupies with obsessional fixations and trust funds to burn. Obviously, a debt is being paid here. But to whom? At what price? The cost to you dear reader, should you choose to fork it over, is a mere $138 and 12 hours of your life that can never be reclaimed.
Jeffrey St. Clair, editor of CounterPunch, once played two-chord guitar in a Naptown garage band called The Empty Suits. His latest book, Killing Trayvons: an Anthology of American Violence (co-edited with Kevin Alexander Gray and JoAnn Wypijewski) will be released in June by CounterPunch Books.
Sure, summer is winding down, but here in So Cal that's a good thing. Kids head back to school, beaches clear, hiking trails become less crowded and those 84 degree days will slowly slide back to our normal 78. Yew! It's been rough. With that said, here's my top 10 summer tracks of 2014 – which will be in heavy rotation until the end of September when autumn begins to rear its ugly head.
Curtis Harding: Keep On Shining, Soul Power (Burger Records, 2013)
Pure X: Heaven, Angel (Fat Possum, 2014)
Further: California Bummer (re-release), Where Were You Then? (Bad Paintings Records, 2014)
Real Estate: Crime, Atlas (Domino, 2014)
Habibi: I Got The Moves, Habibi (Burger Records, 2014)
The Mattson 2: Man From Anamnesis, (2014)
Jenny Lewis: The Voyager, The Voyager (Warner Bros, 2014)
King Tuff: Eyes of the Muse, Black Moon Spell (Sub Pop, 2014)
Mac DeMarco: Brother, Salad Days (Captured Tracks, 2014)
Joel Jermone: Everybody Wants Somebody, Psychedelic Thriftstore Folk (Manimal Records, 2014)

When shit is tight and there's a certain pressure in the air I fall back on who I listened to in my late teens & 20s as I was trying to just learn how to deal with America.
I listen to Curtis Mayfield.
Curtis said, "bite your lip and take the trip." That's how I get by.
I turn on Move On Up from his debut album "Curtis" to remind me that one can't surrender to the things that feeds American racism. I was watching some of the responses to the Michael Brown shooting whereby people were "putting up their hands" as a protest gesture. I don't know about that one. I feel something every time I go through the airport or in a government building when I have to do it. Basically, to me it means, "I surrender" (my rights and give you complete power over me).
Anyway, I thought I'd post the lyrics to "Move on Up " from "Curtis." 1970 Curtom Records.
It was the anthem for a lot of us back in the day.
Move on Up
Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
So in the mean time, move on up towards your destination
Though you may find from time to time complications
Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip so what you wanna do
Just move on up for peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
So what are we wanna do is move on up for a greater day
But just you gonna make it, you put your mind to it, you can surely do it
Take nothing less than the supreme best
Do not obey for most people say 'cause you can past the test
So what we have to do is move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up for a greater day but just you gonna make it
You put your mind to it, you can surely do it
Move on up, we can to move on up
Move on up, move on child I wanna move on up
We can to move on up, we can to move on up
Curtis Mayfield, "Cannot Find A Way." 1974 Curtom Records.
Curtis Mayfield, "There's No Place Like America Today." 1975 Curtom Records (with its great album cover. Although its "Hard Times" one must always keep ones "Love for the People."

The Head and the Heart: Let's Be Still (Sub-Pop 2013)
"The world's just spinning a little too fast, if things don't slow down soon, we may not last….. The world's not forgiving of everyone's fears. The days turn into months, the months turn into years. So just for a moment. Let's be still." Oh hell yes. Please. Sort of an anti-authoritarian genre of indie-folk-pop, this album is not clashing boldly, but just compels with soft suggestion. The shared vocals in title track "Let's Be Still" has this egalitarian thing going, calling each other honey in that kindest of shared time. There's a track "Homecoming Heroes" that ever so lightly touches on being poor, enlisting and coming back and knowing there's no glory in that. But it is subtle and unfailingly melodic. "Shake" has a bit of endearing bravado "you won't forget the man who's making you shake". But beyond that, it's all about awareness of time passage and attempts to encompass the moment we are holding. And this lovely sentiment: "They're tearing it down. So we can rebuild. And all this time is just circles in my mind." This is a subversion style of slowing and erosion, overall the most powerful of all.
Beethoven, Symphony No. 6, The Hanover Band, directed by Roy Goodman (Nimbus 1988)
On the top of our stack of CDs (I know, very retro) for a road trip down to New York City is this now-classic recording of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, a piece that will not only make you happy to live out in the country, but just be glad to be alive. It's true that while driving past the rural poverty of Central New York and Pennsylvania Beethoven's image of happy country folk communing with each other and with nature can seem almost cruel. But the exuberant landscapes, rustic dances, spectacular thunderstorms of the composer's imagination overwhelm such guilty reservations about indulging the immense pleasure of this music. By placing the winds well in back of the strings—the arrangement used in Beethoven's time before the more integrated approach of the later nineteenth century—the Hanover Band rejoices in the novelty of the towering symphonist's timbral palette: the too-familiar piece is set free again to roam the country as Beethoven himself did. It is not just the physical placement of this so-called Harmonie—a spatial quality beautifully conveyed by the talented Nimbus engineers—but also the verve of the players themselves, especially the brashness of the horns, that imbues this pastoral tableaux with renewed vibrant color and irrepressible life.

This chaotic wall of sounds is a selection of songs, raps and other such noise from the Fillmore and Sound City Acid Tests in January 1966. LSD was still legal in the US and was an essential part of these events. The key to these festivities was chaos—order—chaos. The aural presentation of this concept comes through on this CD. The Dead play some blues numbers featuring their first (and only) blues singer Ron "Pigpen" McKernan taking a stab at Slim Harpo's classic "I'm a King Bee" who does a fine job. Early Garcia-Hunter tunes that would appear on their album Anthem of the Sun segue into the Dead's electric take on "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "The Star Spangled Banner." From there, the listener is treated (if that's the right word) to Ken Kesey and his Pranksters singing silly country-western tunes and talking crazy but sanely. Although no longer available in this particular format, there are some other recordings of these and other acid tests available in the collectors market.
How Can You Be In Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All —Firesign Theatre.
If the Merry Pranksters/Grateful Dead were America's psychedelic rangers, then this comedy quartet was its jokers. Born in the studio of KPFK in LA, this group of comedians dug up the ground and planted the seed from which later comedians like Robin Williams would reap the fruits. This disc is their second. The second side, titled "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger" is a hip intellectual spoof of noir and might very well be the germ of Garrison Keillor's less hip Guy Noir. Peppered with Beatles references and nods to multiple films and counterculture phenomena, the story is nominally about the private eye Nick Danger the Third Eye tracking down an old lover. The first side shares its nomenclature with the name of the album and is a clever satire of suburban America in the late 1960s. The story begins with used car salesman Ralph Spoilsport selling a car that has climate control which literally takes the driver to other places and other times. Climate control as time machine if you will. In this case, that place ends up being the ancient Land of the Pharaohs. From that point on, the listener is presented with a stream-of-consciousness comedic and sardonic commentary on the history of the United States. The entire trip ends with a sign-off advertisement for marijuana sales fading into Molly Bloom's soliloquy from Ulysses…"Let's take a taste of this fabulous Yucatan Blue, scored to you from the sky-blue waters of that beautiful Mexican bay, hand-picked by naked little froggy native boys in their tight leather aprons, running through the fields by the sea and the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and the fig trees in the Alameda gardens yes yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rose gardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a boy where I was a flower of the mountains yes…"

Fight over e-voting leaves election plans as casualtiesMay 20, 2004
Two Ohio activists have discovered that e-voting machines made by Election Systems and Software and used across the country produce time-stamped paper trails that permit the reconstruction of an election's results--including allowing voter names to be matched to their actual votes.
Making a secret ballot less secret, of course, could permit vote selling and allow interest groups or family members to exert undue pressure on Ohio residents to vote a certain way. It's an especially pointed concern in Ohio, a traditional swing state in presidential elections that awarded George Bush a narrow victory over John Kerry three years ago.
Ohio law permits anyone to walk into a county election office and obtain two crucial documents: a list of voters in the order they voted, and a time-stamped list of the actual votes. "We simply take the two pieces of paper together, merge them, and then we have which voter voted and in which way," said James Moyer, a longtime privacy activist and poll worker who lives in Columbus, Ohio.
Once the two documents are merged, it's easy enough to say that the first voter who signed in is very likely going to be responsible for the first vote cast, and so on.
"I think it's a serious compromise," said David Dill, a Stanford University computer science professor who has followed electronic voting issues closely. "We have a system that's very much based on secret ballots. If you have something where voters are involuntarily revealing their votes, it's a very bad practice."
Moyer and fellow activist Jim Cropcho tested this by dropping by the election office of Delaware County, about 20 miles north of Columbus, and reviewing the results for a May 2006 vote to extend a property tax to fund mental retardation services (PDF). Their results indicate who voted "yes" and who voted "no"--and show that local couples (the Bennets, for instance) didn't always see eye-to-eye on the tax.
Patrick Gallaway, communications director for Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, said on Friday that his boss had already been planning to begin a "comprehensive" review of e-voting machines as part of a campaign pledge she made before taking office in January. He said the review now is likely to include a look at the ES&S voter privacy concern as well.
ES&S machines are used in about 38 states, according to the Election Reform Information Project, created by the Pew Center on the States. Of those states, Arkanasas, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia are among those using ES&S iVotronic machines with paper audit trails.
Other suppliers of electronic voting machines say they do not include time stamps in their products that provide voter-verified paper audit trails. Sequoia Voting Systems and Hart Intercivic both said they don't. A spokesman for Diebold Election Systems (now Premier Election Solutions), said they don't for security and privacy reasons: "We're very sensitive to the integrity of the process."
An ES&S spokeswoman at the Fleishman-Hillard public relations firm downplayed concerns about vote linking. "It's very difficult to make a direct correlation between the order of the sign-in and the timestamp in the unit," said Jill Friedman-Wilson. (ES&S iVotronic machines are used in 10 Ohio counties, mostly in the center of the state, according to a map on the BlackBoxVoting.org watchdog site.)
"That is so fatally flawed," Friedman-Wilson said about Moyer's and Cropcho's analysis. "It doesn't take into consideration any of the times that there would be interaction with a voter and a poll worker before the ballot is activated." As for the interaction of Ohio open records law with ES&S logs, she said that "it is most appropriate that the secretary of state's office and others who are responsible for carrying out elections respond to questions regarding Ohio election law and procedure."Timestamps + Ohio law = trouble
One explanation is ES&S had never expected that the paper with the time stamps, known as a voter verified paper audit trail, or VVPAT, would be made public under state open records laws.
A report evaluating ES&S security prepared by Compuware auditors two years for the Ohio secretary of state--marked "Confidential" but available on the Internet (PDF)--does warn about keeping electronic time stamps. It says that the electronic representation of votes, called the Cast Vote Records, "should not have time stamp associated with it" and must be randomized to protect privacy.
But the auditors viewed timestamps on the physical printout, called the audit log, as needed to detect "tampering" with the ES&S iVotronic hardware. "All actions to the iVotronic are recorded in the audit log with a time stamp," the report said. "This includes opening and closing the polls, voting, inserting invalid voting cards, loss of power, and supervisor access."
David Wagner, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, said electronic storage of votes in the order that voters cast them is a recurring problem with e-voting machines.
"This summer I learned that Diebold's AV-TSX touchscreen voting machine stores a time stamp showing the time which each vote was cast--down to the millisecond--along with the electronic record of that vote," Wagner said in an e-mail message. "In particular, we discovered this as part of the California top-to-bottom review and reported it in our public report on the Diebold voting system. However, I had no idea that this kind of information was available to the public as a public record."
The July 20 report on Diebold (PDF), written by Wagner and five Princeton University researchers for the California secretary of state, cites the electronic time stamp as a voting privacy concern. "If the time when each voter checks in is recorded in the poll log book, an attacker with access to the log book could correlate this data with the timestamps to determine how voters voted," the report says. "Alternatively, observers in the polling place could note the time when target voters cast their votes and find the corresponding vote records in the ballot results file."
Ohio law allows just this. Section 3501.13 of state law says "the records of the board and papers and books filed in its office are public records and open to inspection." Anyone who interferes with the public's right to inspect the records, in fact, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

- "...with multiple voting machines and time taken to vote differences, matching sign in records to time stamped records doesn't provide proof of that individual's vote."
It doesn't NECESSARILY prove but it COULD. If you looked when the polls weren't busy you might be able to correlate 100% the person to the vote.
In any case even the vendor saw that this could be a problem.

See this excerpt:
Of course, the correlation may not be perfect. If Voter No. 1 signs in but gives his space in line to Voter No. 2 who's in a hurry, a reconstruction of the votes based on public records will incorrectly identify their votes.
Having multiple machines and multiple lines can also create a randomization effect, but Moyer says that in his experience as a poll worker there's only one line that feeds into multiple machines. In addition, he says, poll workers log the voter into the ES&S iVotronic, which starts the time-stamped entries and means there's no additional randomization of voters taking different amounts of time to start the process.

- don't make excuses
- You are likely right when it comes to very busy polling stations at
busy times of the day, but one should NEVER be able to figure out
how ANYBODY voted, ever. The ability to cast a secret ballot is at
the core to our system of elections. As this study shows, the votes
of particular people were able to be identified.
The system is flawed. All kinds of academic experts have been
talking about this for years, but they were ignored.

- Don't record voter sign in times, Ohio, shame on you!
- Either change the law so this is not public information or change the system so voter sign in times are not recorded, only the date and an affirmation that they signed in while the polling place was open. If worried about insider records then the latter solution is most viable.

- Colorado ballots are subject to the Colorado Open Records Act so the same situation could happen in Colorado. The county clerk's association tried to change this law in the last legislative session, but were defeated by election integrity activists. The solution is getting rid of DRE's. They are not good for democracy. There are other solutions for voters with disabilities.

- Only partially valid
- I agree that it would be very difficult to make valid identifications of how individual voters voted. In a circumstance where voters are entering and exiting quickly, you would only be entitled to make that identification if all of the nearby timestamps voted the same way, because the voter was part of that sequence; or, if there's a big gap in time between voters, that would also allow you to assign where the voter is in the sequence with confidence. And knowing party affiliation would provide a clue to unraveling the order in certain sequences.
Still, this isn't what should happen and should be fixed...

- A potenital answer
- Issue random and unique numbered voter memory cards that actually store the vote you make on them (but does not in anyway have any personally identifiable info on it). Voters can sign in presenting only their Valid ID (not the voting card). Make and record their votes. Each vote has a randomly generated unique number, that combined random-unique number of the card creates a recorded vote stored on the card, and to the voting machine. Then, and here's the cool part, after polls close, votes are verified, by voters comparing their vote recorded on the card (underwrite protection), with the vote recorded at the poll, through anonymous connection. At no time is the card identifiable to a person ever, and the system can not be tampered with since you retain a copy of the vote that must be verified afterwards. Distribution of the cards should be at random (drawn from a bucket, bin, etc.) providing only Valid Registered Voter ID (at the DMV in my state) or at the polling place. With proper encoding the system can preserve complete privacy, and provide a level of trust that e-voting today can not.
- Like Reply Link Flag
- The cards should have a built-in write protect, access pin number, and erase function such that it prevents snooping of the card if you do happen to trace it to someone.
- Like Link Flag
- Good general idea.
- Something along these general lines would be good.
However, the voter must never be able to "read" their vote off the card because this would facilitate vote selling ("If you vote X and show me you did so, I'll give you $10") and coercion (such as one dominate spouse "urging" the other to vote a particular way and expecting verification that they did so). Also, techniques involving rarely used physical tokens is difficult to administer because they would get misplaced and have to be reissued -- which is cumbersome and costly (and charging for the 100th replacement for an absent minded person would probably be construed as an illegal "poll tax").
A properly traceable system needs to have a way to verify that a particular vote was recorded correctly. In some areas, your "voter receipt" (torn off the ballot) could be used to verify that your ballot was recorded correctly - but it's just your word that you didn't actually punch out both candidates for one office (i.e., invalidating the vote by "overvoting") and that someone else must have done so later.
I believe there are schemes that would leverage technology to solve these problems.
One such scheme might be to provide the voter with a paper receipt containing an encrypted representation of their vote as well as a unique (but randomly generated) identification "vote id", and a random bit of key material. The encrypted representation would be stored along with the vote in the voting system EXCEPT that the randomly generated key would not be stored. The encryption key (simplistically here - the actual implementation would be more complicated but the inclusion of all this key material is the point) would include a voter supplied portion (this material would be provided by the voter at the time of voting - they must remember it if they want to challenge how their vote was counted), a randomly generated key (not stored, but displayed on the receipt in cleartext), additional key material would be from a public key of each member of an M member non-partisan panel - probably composed in part of judges. The encryption would be done in such a way that N of the M (where N<M) panel members' private keys would also be required to decrypt the vote (this is one area my description is simplistic - there might be a bunch of session keys and what not to support this).
If a voter wanted to verify/prove that their vote was/was not counted correctly, they would make a request to examine their recorded vote. The examination would take place at a secure facility using a secure system. The examination would require the voter (and the key they entered when voting), their receipt (containing the unique id for this "vote instance" as well as the randomly generated key saved only on the receipt), and "N" of the panel members present to enter their private key material. The secure system would scan the receipt, take all the provided key material, and look up the vote (by "vote id") in the database, verify that the stored encrypted vote matched that on the receipt (helping validate that the receipt IS a real rather than forged receipt), and then reveal the recorded vote to the voter in a secure shielded area with NO ONE ELSE in the secure area (disabled individuals would be accommodated by having a randomly selected trusted person - perhaps a judge - available to assist the voter by reading the vote etc). If the votes don't match, and the voter wishes to pursue the mismatch, there would be a process to examine the source of the discrepancy (this would probably require that the voter reveal their key to a trusted group of investigators).
With a little additional effort (probably using a one way hash of the encrypted vote? - I would need to think this part through a bit more) it should be possible for a voter to verify via a public web site that their vote was actually recorded (but, of course, not how it was recorded). Obviously the system which serves this web site would be working ONLY with one-way hashes of encrypted stuff extracted from the underlying (secure!) database. This would allow voters to verify their vote was cast and, coupled with the count of votes and voters, make it impractical to "insert" or "delete" votes.
Of course, all the software and the hardware design (but, of course, none of the embedded private validation keys etc.) used in this system should be available for all to examine and all of it should have verification built into the lowest levels (starting with hashing/encryption embedded on a difficult to modify chip and with high levels of hardware integration). Without this public review, the system could not be trusted.
This could perhaps be made more secure by including some biometric information to give three factor authentication for the "vote revealing" process (what I know [my key], what I have [my receipt], is this MY receipt [biometric match]) - but gathering and storage of such information is likely to be unacceptable and the benefit seems sufficiently small to be outweighed by the privacy concerns.

- this is bunkum
- The critic of this theory was right - the FIRST PERSON who spends any time loitering between sign-in and time of vote cast will throw off the ENTIRE REST of the list, and there is no way to tell whether that person loitered long enough to offset the count by one or two or a dozen. the list will again be offset by each subsequent loiterer. so basically, the first X% will match-up, but X won't be higher than 10 I'd say.
However, if they were able to get copies of video surveillance film from any public/private security cameras used in the larger settings...

- The sign-in log doesn't matter
- This affects a lot more states than Ohio, as any good security analyst would tell you. The date-ordered poll log (available on request) merely makes it easier to match them after-the-fact. Anyone who wants to know how people vote merely has to watch and record the order/time of voter sign-ins. And guess what - most states have people from each party there, and in many states they record all the voters separately already. (Pennsylvania is an example.)
This is also why roll-based paper trails are badly flawed. Even scanned-paper ballots need to be handled carefully - the order of votes needs to not be recorded electronically (just the total), and when the voting boxes that hold the scanned ballots are opened, the (nicely stacked) ballots in the box need to be randomized. (Note that simply "cutting" the stack is probably enough.)

forced on the voters (via that nonsensical

the piecemeal debacle they pulled off in 2000)

disenfranchising the many. The SINGLE AND ONLY
solution is to send ALL the DREs back, demand a
refund, and go back to the mark-on-paper
standard ballot that first-graders use to
advance to second grade. If the BushDicks claim
they can't get optical scanners in place before
the primaries, point out that they can always
borrow them from the schools for a day.
Nor is the "disabled" diversion anything more
than a ploy. Disabled people need assistance to
vote regardless of which system is used.
Dump the DREs. NOW. And if your county is
still run by BushDicks, you can make sure your
ballot has a paper record by voting absentee

- Which way do you want it?
- Do people <B>really</b> want a verifiable paper trail, or don't they? These spools are verifiable and verified. Each voter sees his or her vote actually register on the spool (which is something of an improvement over most other methods. The spools are also not hackable, which should also be as an improvement over the memory cards that all of you folks keep complaining about.
In Missouri's St. Louis County, when we have to remove a paper spool, each one is initialed by the two assistant supervisors and supervisors, and the next one is inserted under their supervision as well. I don't know if it's done by a bi-partisan team in Ohio, but it's definitely done by one in Missouri. (We'd have more than two parties present here if the legislature changed the law, but at the moment it's only Democrats and Republicans.)
As for reconstructing how the voters voted, are they <B>really</b> only using one machine per polling place in Ohio? In St. Louis County, we've had three machines at the polling places where I've worked, and the voters go to them in random order. I don't think it'd be particularly easy to match them up to the voting rolls, which do not show the time the voter came in to vote. In a brisk election, I don't think I'd want to try that experiment.
During a very slow election, such as the last one I worked, you might have been able to figure out how the election was going just from the banter of the voters as they walked out the door. We could have given you a pretty close to 80% accurate guess about the ballot initiative's chance of success if we weren't sworn not to reveal the outcome of the election, even in jest.
And "observers in the polling place"? Most polling places in Missouri are in public schools. Do you think that you're going to get away with hanging around a school all day without the principal getting suspicious? They don't mind election officials. They actually like having us around, I suspect, because it gives them a chance to work elections into the syllabus, but I don't think that anyone other than an official poll watcher or challenger would get a chance to hang out at the polls all day.

- Well Designed
- It's possible to set up a system that makes sure someone only votes once while preserving their privacy. For example, If the poll workers check people off a list of valid voters as they come in, then it's not possible to reconstruct when they came in later from that public record.
Someone could still sit and write it down though. Which is why the ballots should be separate pieces of paper (not a paper roll) and they should not have sequential serial numbers.

- It's worse than reported.
- The secret ballot issues raised by Moyer and Cropcho <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.thepublicballot.org/" target="_newWindow">http://www.thepublicballot.org/</a> won't be solved until the toilet-paper roles used to sequentially record voter activity are eliminated.
As a Colorado poll watcher, I have the right to record the names of people who vote. By observing the sequence in which they use a specific DRE, I know the sequence of their (supposed) votes recorded on the VVPAT. Access to the roll means access to their "ballot". The canvass board and election officials have legal access to the roll.
NO!, I do not trust the officials. Not because they are evil, but because the protection of a secret ballot is sacrosanct. If any pathway to retrieving a specific voters ballot exists, it might be used: (1) by the court, or (2) for political purposes by a partisan official, or (3) to create a "threat of disclosure" needed by vote-buyers and voter-intimidators to suggest that they can know a voter's selections.
Furthermore, HART Intercivic suffers not only the problem described above, but also uniquely identifies every PAPER and VVPAT ballot with a unique, NON-REMOVABLE, serial number and barcode. Voters can make a record of this serial number on their ballot and use it to later identify their specific ballot. Consequently, the market for vote-selling is facilitated and the opportunity for voter intimidation is supported.
The arrogance of vendors who trample on our right to use a secret ballot must be punished by immediately forcing them to meet our requirements for "privately voted anonymous ballots".

Sitting crossed legged in front of your record player; you carefully slide the disc from its sleeve. With eager anticipation, you place it onto the turntable. Lowering the arm, the disc begins to spin and the needle treads through those magical grooves, analog sounds of performance escaping from your speakers. All the while, you sit entranced by the artwork, reading along from the lyric sheet that was tucked inside. There is nothing else in the world like the perfect ritual of experiencing recorded music on vinyl.
On August 1st 2013, I am beyond excited to announce that my band The Venetia Fair's latest effort, 'Every Sick, Disgusting Thought We've Got In Our Brain' will not only be the debut vinyl for my label, SwitchBitch Records, but also the first ever vinyl pressing of a record I've played on.
Given the momentousness of the occasion, I felt the need to go all out on quality and production, carefully planning and executing every aspect, from the completely custom layout to the custom color splatter on each disc. I couldn't be more proud of the final product our amazing fans will be receiving.
Above all, I am happiest to be able to share this experience with four of my best friends and the sickest humans I've ever met, The Venetia Fair. We have poured our hearts and souls into this record and we hope you love it as much as we do.
Love Always,
Mike Abiuso of The Venetia Fair and SwitchBitch Records

Campus prepares for arrival of Empire State Games July 27
Ask John Shupe (Facilities Management) or Ralph Perez-Rogers (Dining Services) what's keeping them awake at night and they'll tell you it's the Empire State Games. And they aren't alone. Department heads from across the campus, including University Police, Residence Life, Campus Dining Services, Athletics, Facilities Management, Admissions, Conference Services, Publications and Public Affairs are making final preparations for the Games.
Drive by the college's athletic fields this week and you'll notice freshly painted dugouts (New Paltz blue, of course), resurfaced tennis courts (blue and orange, naturally), new blue windscreens around the softball and baseball fields and well-groomed athletic grounds. In the coming days, signs, tents and banners will appear on campus.
The Games begin July 27 and last through July 31. While there may be some inconvenience to students, faculty and staff who are on campus this summer, and some long hours for several employees before, during and after the Games, the event is a first for the Hudson Valley, a first for New Paltz and an opportunity for the college, says Shelly Wright, chairperson of the campus Empire State Games Committee.
"We've been given a chance to impress upon 2,000 young athletes what's great about New Paltz," she said.
Because New Paltz is housing and feeding the most athletes (2,000) of any of the other venues in the Hudson Valley, both Perez-Rogers and Corinna Caracci, (Residence Life), said that they had an opportunity to create a unique experience for all of the competitors.
Perez-Rogers, who expects every member of his 100- person staff to work the Games in some capacity, has many surprises planned for the athletes, including locating the main dining area under a large tent on the Crispell parking lot.
Perez-Rogers said that he will also be offering a wide range of healthy fare for the athletes, including a salad bar, pizza and pasta stations, and meat carving stations. In addition, he will offer vegetarian entrées.
His staff will likely prepare 270 pizza pies a night, and serve 12,545 meals throughout the five-day period.
Caracci will use nine residence halls on campus for the athletes, and has called in all 13 of her residence hall directors and several dozen additional college employees and volunteers to help out, especially on Wednesday, July 27, when 2,000 athletes arrive, get checked in, eat dinner and then board shuttles to Poughkeepsie to attend the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m.
Caracci also has special activities planned for the athletes. On Wednesday evening, after the opening ceremonies, there will be snacks and games for the athletes in the residence halls.
For Thursday evening, she has booked a comedian. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there will be snacks and movies with sport themes to entertain the competitors.
In addition to housing 2,000 athletes, New Paltz is hosting competitions in archery, boxing, synchronized swimming and tennis.
In preparation for the tennis competition, the college has almost completed a total rehabilitation of the North courts on campus, which includes lighting, fencing and resurfacing in the school's colors.
Stuart Robinson (Athletics, Recreation and Intramurals) said that his entire staff will assist the Empire State Games staff with the four sporting events on campus. Robinson has been instrumental in the college's preparation of the athletic facilities for the Games and is, himself, the coach for the Empire State Games Hudson Valley soccer team.
The following are interesting facts about the Hudson River Valley Empire State Games on the New Paltz campus:

WATCH: Flash floods create rushing river on Ellicott City road
From Maryland: There's pavement somewhere under all that water. Probably.
UPDATE 3:15 p.m.: The Baltimore Sun posted a new video showing the street-level view of the flooding in Ellicott. Take a look.
ORIGINAL: Here's a good example of precisely what you are not supposed to do while driving in flash floods. The scene is from Ellicott City about 30 miles northeast of the District, where up to 6 inches of rain has fallen today. In D.C., there's a "severe traffic disruption" on 14th Street Bridge. That's because the local side roads are flooded and the whole dang bridge is clogged with angry commuters trying to get out of here.
Meanwhile, the rain is moving away from NoVa. Good riddance, for now.
There's also this video of Ellicott City's newest river and today's "definitely Armageddon weather":

4/2/2012just terrible. It would be cool if you used the touch screen to draw lines for the car to drive out, like what the name of the game implies. But no, you just tap squared till the right shape shows up. Very lame and boring
2/1/2012Good game.
1/26/2012Agreed on the drag n drop the other reviewer had mention. I'm franticly pressing the buttons. Good game though and thank you.
12/28/2011Should make it drag and drop as opposed to pressing repeatedly... Not a bad game though
12/20/2011Haha, good game :).

Shane Meadows and Vicky McClure welcome work on new Teenage Cancer Trust unit at QMC
Posted: April 07, 2014|
FILM director Shane Meadows and actress Vicky McClure may end up biking up a mountain after launching building work on a ward for teenage cancer patients.
The big names donned hard hats at the city's Queen's Medical Centre to see work start on the project.
But the Teenage Cancer Trust still needs to raise £200,000 to pay for the £600,000 five-bed facility, for 13-to-18-year-olds with cancer from the East Midlands.
Now actors from Meadows' film and TV series This Is England could be recruited to help.

Family and friends bid farewell to 'brave and courageous' Kris Dunn
"I am thinking about me and the cast doing a bike ride up a mountain," said the director, an ambassador for the charity.
"My idea is to have a live camera in each person's helmet and you pay 50p to watch 'agony cam' as we go!"
"Well, it has to happen now you have said it!" added Vicky.
Shane urged people to donate to the cause.
"I think a lot of people have the idea that charities are national but this is actually a ward being built here in Nottingham and, who knows, it could be my kids that need it," he said. "People think it will take a lot of time and not everyone has got the time to organise a fundraiser, but even if it is just £3 over a text message that will help."
The Nottingham actress, who plays Lol in This Is England, started working with the trust 18 months ago when it asked her to open its unit at Nottingham City Hospital
This week the Line Of Duty and Broadchurch star was announced as an ambassador for the charity and told the Post: "It is not the sort of thing once you have done that you can turn away from.
"It is hard enough being a teenager anyway, never mind battling with cancer and all the difficulties that will come with that. Being 17 with hormones and God knows what else... the ward brings a social life to them," said Vicky, who lives at Toton.
Kris Dunn, 17, from Bulwell, was diagnosed with terminal osteosarcoma in March 2012 and, after treatment at QMC, was moved to the unit.
"It makes such a difference be with people your own age," he said. "When you are in a kids ward, you spend all day in bed and all night and it makes you feel worse, it reminds you that you are sick.
"Don't get me wrong, I got on with the nurses at QMC really well, but I was surrounded by babies crying and just me in the middle. The closest age I had to me was 10 or 12 so I was talking more to the parents than the kids."
The unit at City Hospital has helped him handle the treatment he is going through, giving him some respite from the stress he is under.
"Now I can go to the chill-out area, play pool and chat with people the same age and like me," he said. "It just makes you feel a lot better and not like you're sick. People don't seem sick around you. It really does help."
Professor Richard Grundy, paediatric oncology consultant at the QMC, was excited about work getting under way at the ward, which is due to be finished in October.
"It will make a huge difference when we create this space that teenage patients can regard as their own," he said.
"Having their peers around means they can talk together about what they are going through. That peer support is so valuable in helping them with their treatment."
The Teenage Cancer Trust unit is just one part of a major investment into children's services at the QMC.
The £4.5 million development will also see a new, improved ward for younger cancer patients up to 13 years old, paid by Nottingham Hospitals Charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Big damage from two Sunday fires; no injuries
Nov 5, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
Fire officials think an unattended candle caused a structure fire Sunday at a home north of Riverton.
No one was injured in the blaze, but the room in which the fire started reportedly was destroyed.
"At one time I think it was like a screened-in porch that they kind of finished off and turned into a room," Riverton Volunteer Fire Department chief Mike Hutchison said. "It was kind of an addition to the house."
The addition and a nearby bathroom were involved in the fire, but Hutchison said the rest of the single-story home only received minor smoke damage.
"The door was closed (to) the room the fire started in," he said. "That helped the rest of the house out quite a bit."
A team of 12 firefighters and three trucks responded at about 11:45 a.m. Sunday to the scene on Dalley Road north of Riverton. Hutchison said heavy smoke was pouring from the porch area when he arrived.
"That room was pretty well involved in fire," he said.
The single female occupant was not home at the time; Hutchison said she suspects her cat may have disrupted a candle in the porch area, causing the blaze.
"We don't know for sure, but (that's) one of our theories," he said, adding, "It's never a good idea to leave candles burning and unattended when you're not home."
He said the cat was not injured in the incident.
Beaver Creek
Also on Sunday, local fire crews responded at about 5:15 a.m. to a fire at an unoccupied home on Sagebrush Drive in the Beaver Creek housing area south of Riverton. Hutchison said it appeared someone had set fire to a pile of debris on the floor in the home's kitchen.
"We couldn't find any other logical cause for the fire at the time," he said.
The kitchen was "heavily damaged" from the fire, while the rest of the home received "pretty heavy" smoke, he continued. No one was injured; nine firefighters and two trucks were on scene for less than an hour.
