Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Dear All,You may be interested to know that I have written a new book called Christian Universalism: God's Good News For All People. The book was just published last month by Sparkling Bay Books, a publishing company owned by Rhett Ellis (a UR believer who belongs to this forum).You can get the book at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Universalism-Gods-Good-People/dp/0967063183Christian Universalism: God's Good News For All People has been endorsed by ministers from five different denominations:"If you have longed for a God whose love will never fail any of us, even when we are at our very worst, you will experience joyful discovery in reading Eric Stetson's book, Christian Universalism: God's Good News For All People. Eric himself has experienced the healing hope of our Heavenly Father's never-failing love, so you will find far more than good-sounding ideas in these pages; your heart will be deeply touched as well."-- Charles Slagle, author, evangelist, and former Pentecostal minister"Well-written and conversational. The Biblical arguments and reasoning make this book accessible to anyone, even those who do not have a theological background. If you want to find out more about God's universal love and salvation, this is the book to read!"-- Rev. Lillie Henley, M.Div., Pastor of Universalist National Memorial Church, Washington, D.C."A readable and personal introduction to one of the most prevalent views of salvation in the early Church. This highly recommended guide will surely present the truth of God's inclusive love and the ultimate restoration of all creation to a new generation of readers who are eager to hear this hopeful message."-- Dr. George Zgourides, author, psychologist, and former priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church"This book is a clear, concise, biblically accurate explanation of God's purpose to become all in all. It is approachable by theologian and layman alike. It is an excellent addition to the literature available on Christian Universalism. I highly recommend it!"-- G. A. Roach, M.Div., D.Min., independent evangelical pastor and hospital chaplain"True to the Bible and the spirit of the early Church, Christian Universalism reclaims Christianity for the millions of people who love Jesus but reject the harsh religion so often preached in his name. In contrast to the fear-based, hell-centered faith of fundamentalist Christianity, this book boldly and clearly proclaims the truly good news -- news of an unconditionally loving God who will eventually lead everyone to the experience of salvation."-- Rev. Kalen Fristad, United Methodist pastor and author

MONAVILLE — A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9, by family and friends in remembrance of a mother and her children.
Melinda Dailey, along with her children Katelyn, Randy and Trey, perished in a house fire at Monaville in January 2009.
"Someone's child, grandchild, niece, nephew, classmate and friend lost their life during this tragic fire and there have not been any answers as to why this happened," Betty Conn, organizer of the memorial, said, "but it is such a shame that these beautiful people did not get a chance to see what God had in store for their lives."
The fire, which also claimed the life of Dwayne Ellis, began early morning Thursday, January 31, 2009. The call to Logan firefighters came in at 5:03 a.m. and, according to Logan Fire Chief Scott Beckett, the house had fire venting from the roof by the time his crews and the Main Island Creek Fire Department firemen arrived on the scene.
Following an investigation by the West Virginia Fire Marshall's Office, the fire was ruled suspicious and an arson investigation began.
The initial reward amount was $2,500, but the reward was recently raised to more than $5,000.
Logan County Sheriff Sonya Porter Dingess will be attending the memorial.
"This is a true tragedy that occurred," Dingess said. "… the fire was suspicious in nature and law enforcement are working together diligently — the West Virginia State Police, the Logan Fire Department and us — to solve this incident that a whole family was lost in."
Dingess said they need to get the information out that the case has not been solved.
"Just getting the information out that this case is not solved," Dingess said. "Everybody wants it solved. The family is also raising funds try to get a conviction of the person or persons who was involved in this fire."
Contributions to the Dailey Family Reward Fund can be made at LB&T (304-752-1166).
The reward will be given to anyone who can provide information for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the deaths of the Dailey family.
Anyone with information can call any of the following numbers: 304-688-9256, 304-752-3553, the W.Va. Fire Marshall's office at 1-800-233-3473 or the West Virginia State Police at 304-792-7200.
Again, the memorial will be held at the site of the fire (beside railroad crossing at Monaville) at Monaville at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9.

Hello Gents,
I have spoken with several manufacturers and distributors of AR kits. The common wisdom is that they will not have general stock of kits (or parts) for at least four to six months. The FFL's I deal with have said the same thing.
Anybody want to chime in here?

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
On Friday, March 15, the Moretown Town Office Committee met to open bids for design services for a new town office to replace the building that was destroyed due to flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
The committee received seven bids, with the phase one design fee (which focuses on feasibility and schematic design) ranging from $10,000 to $24,000 and the phase two design fee (which includes the completed design) ranging from $45,000 to $66,000.
The committee, which was formed in December of 2011, is still considering sites on which to rebuild, but after conducting an all-inclusive survey it has narrowed it down to three options: a site behind the Moretown Elementary School playground, a site adjacent to the village tennis courts and the site of the old town offices.
Last week, Moretown received a hazard mitigation grant to buy the old town offices in the amount of about $60,000. This money will supplement the $100,000 the town received in insurance money for damages to the existing building and set aside for the new town office.
The hazard mitigation grant is good news, for while the town has not yet heard back about money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), its contribution to the new town offices "will probably be disappointing," town office committee chair Clark Amadon said at Town Meeting on March 5, explaining that the municipal building is not considered a "critical facility" and therefore will not receive as much aid as a police or fire department building would receive.
The town office committee's next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, at 6 p.m. at the Kaiser Drive building on Route 2. At that meeting, committee members will discuss the bids more in depth and decide which firm they want to recommend to the Moretown Select Board at their meeting on Monday, April 1.

A bit of history
In the mid 1950s the so-called 'Blue' train from Paris' Gare de Lyon lead passengers along the route from Paris to the Côte d'Azur. A road was built in parallel to the train, and outposts of fine French taste started to flourish along this route. As the owners of one of these establishments, Marcel and Nelly Tilloy saw an opportunity to band together with other locales sharing the same unflagging passion for hospitality and excellent cuisine.
They offered an enticing culinary itinerary, encouraging travellers to explore all the spots. Soon this itinerary acquired the moniker "La Route du Bonheur" or "Road of Happiness".

The only thing better than a good loaf of bread is sharing that loaf with friends. Now throw chocolate into the mix and just imagine how phenomenal! The greatest feast, indeed. Who hasn't smeared a slice of white bread with Nutella or split open a hunk of baguette and tucked a few squares of chocolate deep into the soft, dense center? Who wouldn't choose a pain au chocolat over a simple croissant? And isn't chocolate bread pudding so much more… comforting than the regular stuff? Go on… admit it.
As soon as I received the new edition of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François, I jumped at the chance to be Kitchen of the month for the Bread Baking Babes. I adore all of the Artisan Bread in 5 books, not to mention the blog, and wanted more than anything to share the love, to vaunt the greatness of their baking books and the perfect of their no-knead formula and recipes. For the Bread Baking Babes challenge, I needed one single recipe, something that was unusual enough to make it an intriguing challenge while delicious enough to make everyone want to bake it… and to draw non-Babes, fellow bloggers and bread bakers to want to join in and bake for their Buddy badge.
I combed through the index, flipped through the pages and made a list of several recipes I wanted to try. Too many. I had to choose just one. I decided on the Chocolate Prune Bread. As sweet, as chocolaty as one wanted, prunes could be replaced with dried cherries, blueberries or cranberries. As versatile as any great bread recipe. But I knew that it couldn't but please everyone. Many were expecting something bordering on cake, but it was most definitely a bread: soft, light and fluffy, tender with barely a hint of sweet except for the bits of chocolate, as much or as little as one desired. The chopped prunes or dried cherries added a burst of flavor, fruity and tart.
Visit my original blog post in which I posted the challenge as well as the recipe and don't miss out on visiting every single one of the Babe's blogs to see how they can take one recipe and spin it a dozen different ways.

August 2013
It's hard to believe summer is almost over, but the first-year students will arrive soon, as will many athletes. Of course, plenty has been going on here already.
One unusual event to note: WU will soon attempt to break a world record, and alumni are invited to participate. Read more here. It might make you smile.
Finally: how did Willamette change your life? Was it a professor? A sports team? A group of friends? We're compiling alumni stories just like we did for tales of Willamette romances. (We received amazing responses for that one and will be publishing some in the fall issue of The Scene -- stay tuned!) We'd love to include yours. Email submissions of 500 words or fewer to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy (late) summer!

- Personalizing HIV therapy, mission impossible? (2013)
- Sustained HIV suppression depends on a number of factors including therapy adherence, management of side effects, viral resistance and individual characteristics of patients and therapeutic settings. Treatment response rates range up to 90% in therapy naïve patients but decline to approximately 50% in patients who received several antiretrovirals during treatment history. Furthermore, HIV protease inhibitors (PI) and non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) plasma concentrations display high inter- and intra individual variability and the therapeutic window is comparably narrow. In this therapeutic setting the personalization of dosing regimens has been suggested in many cases to tailor the ARV plasma concentrations with the intention to maximize therapy success and minimize side effects in the individual. However, personalizing therapy by modifying the dosing regimen bears the danger of losing therapeutic efficacy, increasing side effects or causing viral resistance. This topical review identifies pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models of antiretroviral therapy appraising the potential application to HIV therapy and discusses its future in the light of new drug classes and fix-dose combinations.

A case like that kinda defeats the purpose of getting a White iPhone, doesn't it?
But I'm not much of a case person, I've got a bumper, but that's more so I don't drop the slippery thing, more that to protect it....
DODOcase BookBack for iPhone and iPad
I deeply, truly love the story and spirit behind DODOcase -- hand-bound, artisanal cases for the iPad that wrap the latest in aluminum and glass and computer innovation, with the wood and cloth craftsmanship that stretch back to antiquity. You can place your iPad into a DODOcase, snap the elastic closed, slip it under your arm, and stroll down any boulevard or into any coffee shop and be indistinguishable from academics or hipsters alike, until you unsnap the band, fold back the cover, and start tapping away.
There's something wonderfully balanced and almost poignant about something as shiny and new as the iPad held in something as timeless and nostalgic as hand-bound book.
That it's not for everyone, that a DODOcase can't be used with other new bits of technology like Apple's SmartCover, that even a smaller DODOcase wouldn't be as practical for an iPhone as it is for an iPad hasn't been lost on DODOcase either -- they also make the BOOKback skin.
We'll take a look at both after the break.
The original DODOcase debuted shortly after the original iPad and I ordered one almost immediately. My mother instilled in me a deep and abiding love for book binding from a young age and DODO had me at first glance. They didn't disappointment then and they certainly don't with the DODOCase for iPad 2. It's everything that impressed about the first subtly redesigned to fit the latest form factor from Apple. Only better -- they've since added a variety of colors for the inside.
The gist is similar, you have two solid covers, lavished the previously mentioned Moroccan cloth, but DODO has gone with a new bamboo tray design. It seems to fit better than the original. As before, all the ports and buttons are exposed but you will now have to remove your iPad 2 to use the rear-facing camera. (If you use the rear facing camera).
I ordered both the Limited Edition and the Classic to try out. The differences are cosmetic but last year my sister
stole was given 2 of my first edition DODOcases so I knew I needed to stock up this time. (True enough, she left Easter Weekend, the Classic now adorned around her new iPad 2...) When I want to leave the house but don't want to take a laptop or a bag with me, I just slide my iPad 2 into the DODOcase and off I go. For meetings, for working at the coffee shop, for heading out to family and friends, it's a great, lightweight, inimitably beautiful solution.
(Note: I dropped the one seen in the pictures here but some carpenter's glue and some pressure fixed it up fine. Had I dropped my iPad without the case for protection, it would likely have have suffered significant damage.)
Overall, DODOcase is a great accessory for iPad, but like I said at the beginning the same thing for iPhone would be impractical, at least for me. That's where the BOOKback comes in.
An adhesive skin, hot-foil stamped with the DODO logo, you simply stick the BOOKback on the back of your iPhone and it gives you that same great Moroccan cloth look and feel with almost zero added bulk. (Georgia shows you how in the video up top.) You get protection from scratches and just a touch of the old world to go along with all that glass and stainless steel. BOOKback is also re-usable if you're careful, so you can take it off if you need to and replace it later.
DODO also makes a BOOKback for the iPad 2, which you can use if you want a similar lack of bulk. It leaves the rear-facing camera exposed and also plays very nicely with Apple's SmartCover.
DODO sent me one of each, iPhone and iPad to try out. Both look terrific, blending into the blackness of the original iPhone 4 while contrasting nicely with the stainless steel, aluminum, or the white iPhone 4.
The BOOKback start at $8.95, the DODOcase at $59.95.

DODOcase BookBack for iPhone and iPad
A case like that kinda defeats the purpose of getting a White iPhone, doesn't it?
Bumpers shouldn't be a problem. I've had it in the BOOKback and a DracoDesign bumper this weekend.
Yes, it's in the BOOKback and the DODOcase in the pictures above.
Honestly I loved the concepts of the Dodo case, however I didn't want something that was mass produced. I ordered an actual book that has been converted into an iPad case from Etsy. The makers are Rook Case check it out... It an older book, with Ll the benefits of the Dodo case, just no one else will have ig
As soon as I get my iPhone 4 I will have a BOOKback on mine. Don't care about the white as no one else should
I love my DODO case for my iPad 2. I actually get more compliments on the case than on the iPad. I actually wish they made a small version for the iPhone. Looking at the limited edition version almost makes me want to order another one. I like that they are a quality made in the USA product.
It's artisan cases not "artisanal cases". That would refer to someones rec-tum
I guess there is something wrong with the word rec tumm
We will be giving away a Bookback tomorrow!

Short, sweet, nice thoughts but as someone who was so against all things apple, I'm not so sure about the gestures aspect. 5 years ago i needed a new computer, walked into the Palo Alto Apple store, stood around confused, played with a Mac for a few minutes, didn't get it or understand all the hype, and walked out. One year later i was buying an iPhone, and now everyone in my family owns Apple gear based on my selfish recommendation. The simple user interface is the gateway to everything, and confusion is the barrier to anything new. Don't get me wrong, I'm getting a MYO controller this year if/when I upgrade to an actual computer. As for this iBand, I don't think it will require a lot of interaction, it will most likely enable an expanded connection to everything else Apple. So yes, it would make a great remote for the current AppleTV, and as an easy connection to every other iCloud device, I don't think it will start as complex as he predicts. I do however think it will be much more than an Apple style Pebble. I also left off the term "watch" just yesterday in my comments regarding what I was looking for iOS7. I agree with it being the more logical next arena to play in. Also I think just like a home button is needed on the iPhone it will need a screen but that doesn't mean it would be a traditional one.
iWatch as gesture control interface
With rumors of an Apple iWatch swirling, speculation over potential feature sets and use cases are swirling with them. Designer Neven Mrgan has an interesting one:
Today it occurred to me that it could have an interesting use: acting as a gestural, accelerometer-based, Kinect-like remote.
Or like a wearable Wii-mote or PlayStation move. Go read the rest of it to see how Mrgan thinks it could be used.

iWatch as gesture control interface
Should be interesting....
This ties in perfectly with the thread I created about natural voice versus gestures. I believe a a blend of the two is the way to go and if iPhone becomes natural voice and the iWatch is gesture based, that would be fantastic. Gestures and voice combined into one beautiful blend of natural movement and be the start of a new era of body and device working seamlessly as one.
Neven Mrgen
Neven Mrgan pretty much just laid out an iBand in his article instead of the actual iWatch! I mean, it IS cool to have a gesture-based device, but if Apple would make one (I highly doubt it), they wouldn't call it a iWatch and just brand them as two seperate things!
The most important gesture the iWatch will need to recognize is lifting your arm and rotating your wrist so you can see the screen. This gesture should turn on the screen and activate the Siri or eye tracking features. A touch screen is nice but it won't work well while running or just walking and putting the iWatch to sleep when you are not looking at it will be essential for preserving the battery.
I don't see Apple doing it that way honestly but seems cool for sure. I'd be happy wi just having notifications and Siri linked to it honestly. Anything else is a bonus.
It would be awesome if they made an iWatch that had all the functionality that MYO are attempting with their arm band... https://getmyo.com/ .
Is the iWatch have Wifi? A Smart Watch at your hands! Cool! Never Heard iWatch before, Thanks Imore!
Here is why I hate tech rumors: they get me SUPER pumped about the possibility of technology in its next form (in this case, a "watch"). First we hear that sources within Apple all but verify the existence of some sort of "iWatch"; then everybody gets their ideas as to what it has the potential for, and what abilities they think it will have (and the ideas are AWESOME); then Apple sits on the tech/patent for any number of years while they perfect it (if they have even decided to act on it, at all); and in the meantime, we are all impatiently waiting to see if/when Apple releases it, and what of our ideas they have actually implemented. I'm far too impatient for the rumor mill!
Anyway, back to the article and comments: I agree with grangerfx. The only difference in opinion I have, is that I believe this is the only necessary gesture recognition (with the possibility of proximity sensor, as a secondary action to the gesture control, to bring up siri if the device is close enough to the face). I like all the other ideas, I just don't know how practical it is for EVERYBODY. I have an iMac, two iPads and two Apple TV's, but I would venture to say that most people aren't trying to create an iHome the way I am. Therefore I feel this would be most useful (and most widely adopted) as merely an iPhone (or data connected iPad) complement.
gesture control would be nice. i think it needs to be developed more though
I think gesture would be cool. I don't think the first iteration of the iWatch or whatever it would be called will include a feature like this. The man without the vowels is thinking outside of the box which I like and Apple has been known by that kind of thinking. I think Siri and notifications...oh yeah and tell time please...maybe different types of watches so you can just change the band for different occasions would be cool too.

The nation's Roman Catholic bishops are in a difficult position as the debate over immigration reform gets underway: The immigrant-built American church, known for advocating a broad welcome for migrants and refugees, could end up opposing reform because it would recognize same-sex partners.
Proposals by President Barack Obama and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus include the same-sex partners of Americans among those who would be eligible for visas. The Human Rights Campaign and other gay advocates welcomed the recognition, arguing current laws unfairly treat people in gay or lesbian relationships "as strangers." The idea has the backing of the National Council de la Raza and other liberal Latino groups.
But Catholic bishops, with the support of evangelicals and other theological conservatives, have sent a letter to Obama protesting his proposal. In a sign of the sensitivity of the issue, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops would not provide a copy of the statement, saying the signatories agreed not to make the letter public. Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the bishops, would say only that recognition of gay couples in the president's reform proposals "jeopardizes passage of the bill."
Galen Carey, public policy officer for the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents 40 denominations and has been lobbying for new immigration laws, said, "Our view is immigration reform is not the place to have this discussion." The theologically conservative Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod also signed the Catholic bishops' letter.
"The issue of immigration on its own is so controversial, so polarizing," said the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the evangelical National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. "Let's not play politics with 11 million undocumented immigrants."
It is far too early to know how much of a factor gay relationships will become in what is expected to be a complicated and emotional debate. The plan unveiled last week by eight leading Democratic and Republican senators did not mention same-sex partners. Many other major religious groups lobbying for reform, such as The Episcopal Church, either support gay marriage or don't make homosexuality a focus. In a conference call this week with reporters, White House Domestic Policy Council director Cecilia Munoz was asked whether Obama would support a bill that didn't acknowledge same-sex partners. Her only response was, "The president's position on that is very clear."
Still, endorsements from traditional denominations may carry more significance in the current political climate, in which conservative-leaning lawmakers are worried about political damage from backing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
"The bishops' support, I think, is going to be critical for swinging moderates in the House to support this bill," said Stephen Schneck, a political scientist at Catholic University of America and chair of the anti-abortion Democrats for Life, who was part of the Catholics for Obama re-election effort.
It seems unlikely the bishops would accept any provision for same-sex partners – even for an issue as important to the church as immigration. In their drive for greater orthodoxy among Catholics, bishops have made preserving traditional marriage a priority. Last week, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who leads the bishops' marriage efforts, said the struggle against gay marriage is a gift from God "and by overcoming it we may achieve spiritual greatness." He made the comments in an interview with The Catholic Herald, a news outlet in Britain.
The bishops' stand against Obama's health care law provides some indication of their thinking when they view a core moral teaching in conflict with a long-held social justice goal.
For decades, the bishops had advocated for improved access to health care, especially for the poor. But church leaders concluded that the president's plan, known as the Affordable Care Act, would provide financing for ending pregnancies. The administration and Democratic supporters of the law insisted the bishops were wrong, and said no taxpayer money would fund abortion coverage. But the bishops ultimately opposed the legislation.
Yet, immigration seems even more critical than health care to the church.
Americans church leaders have spent decades lobbying for revisions that would keep families together and fulfill what the church considers the duty of all countries, especially wealthier ones, to do as much as possible to help the poor and persecuted. The church and Catholic groups run a network of aid programs for migrants, refugees and illegal immigrants, taking positions that recognize the country's right to protect its borders, but that still fall "to the left of the Democratic Party," Schneck said. This position is rooted in papal and Gospel teachings so extensive that evangelicals often borrow the theological framework for their own advocacy. In a 2003 joint plea for immigration reform, called "Strangers No Longer," U.S. and Mexican bishops stated, "Regardless of their legal status, migrants, like all persons, possess inherent human dignity that should be respected."
The issue is of special historic importance to the American Catholic church, which was built by waves of Irish, Italians, Poles and others. The immigrant presence in the pews is now growing as American-born white Catholics drop out in significant numbers. Researchers estimate that a third of the 66 million U.S. Catholics are Latino.
"This is an issue that has been a huge priority for the church for a really long time," said Kristin Heyer, a professor at Santa Clara University in California who studies immigration and Catholic social thought. "The wider Catholic community, in addition to the bishops, has mobilized in a major way."
Ultimately, the controversy could split Catholics, in much the same way that Catholics divided over health care. Despite enormous pressure from the bishops, the Catholic Health Association, a trade group that represents hospitals, provided critical backing for the president's health care legislation. Surveys have found that large majorities of lay Catholics back same-sex marriage or civil unions.
Given the importance of Latinos to the U.S. church, political observers wonder how bishops could explain their opposition to Hispanic parishioners.
Kim Daniels, an attorney and director of Catholic Voices USA, a conservative-leaning lay group that defends church teaching, has been urging Catholics across the political spectrum to drop their differences and get behind immigration reform. Still, she said, "being Catholic in the public square means standing up for all our issues."

I spent a lot of time thinking about parts of this sweater. The pattern is written so that the top back half of this sweater is done in the reverse stockinette. As are the sleeves. And when I saw this piece finished, at the show, I liked that. It added a bit of interest and texture. However, this weekend, I decided to rip it back to the rib and do the top half in stockinette. As well as the sleeves.
A friend of mine recently gave me the Foster's Market cookbook. There are some amazing recipes in there. Of course, I flipped straight to the desserts to look for some new cookie recipes. First up were the blondies. The batter makes so much (hello 4 cups of brown sugar) that I ended up dividing it and using half of the dough one week (with heath toffee bits) freezing the other half and using it the following week (last week) with chocolate chips.
The kids liked the heath toffee bits so much better then the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips ended up being more like a chocolate chip cookie.... pie. Which has me thinking. I would really love to make an apple pie.


text: I'm a BSN student and in my Global Health class we are studying different countries and areas of health care. One particular topic-mental health-seems to be particularly lacking in most countries. Now, obviously with unsafe drinking water and infectious diseases taking priority, there is very little federal funding in these countries that is devoted to mental health care. I think that beginning community based therapy groups are a reasonably inexpensive and effective form of mental health care that could genuinely help many people. Those seeking medical help from clinics or whatever primary care providers could be referred to the groups and could even offer advice and/or written information on how to get a group started. Perhaps these medical professionals could also lead the first group or two and then turn the group over to a volunteer or volunteers in the community. I'd really like to get any feedback or input that you are willing to offer about this proposal.

The man who won the TDC's top hospitality award remembers when there were more cows on the beach than tourists.
An emotional Malcolm Patterson accepted the Van Ness Butler, Jr., Hospitality Award Tuesday at the Walton County Tourist Development Council's 27th annual meeting.
The award was established in 2003 by the TDC to honor the legacy and service to the community exemplified by Van Ness Butler, Jr., whose family acquired land here in 1922.
"Their family defined
Ervin introduced Patterson and his accomplishments by saying Patterson accepted the position of the Walton County TDC's first executive director in 1988 and grew the county's bed tax revenue from $150,000 to $2 million. He also was a champion for establishing public beach accesses and beach cleaning. He negotiated a lease with the state for two acres on which to build the current information center, created a website, promoted the arts festival that is now known as ArtsQuest, helped establish the Northwest Florida Tourism Council, and doubled awareness of this area as a destination and put
When Patterson took the podium he described a South Walton that few remember or know existed. His family owned cattle that roamed freely about, even on the beach. He rode a horse to round up the cattle, and remembers riding on the beach from Destin all the way to
"I may be the luckiest man in the world," said Patterson.
He recalled seeing a small ad in the newspaper right after he sold a boat business in Destin that said South Walton was looking for a director of tourism. Patterson called his old friend
Patterson told him he didn't know anything about promoting tourism, but
At this point, Patterson had to pause as he fought back tears.
"I told my wife, I think I'm gonna do this," he said. "After all, when you're at the bottom, where else can you go but up? As a young man I couldn't wait to get out of this place of rattlesnakes and cow dung, and then I spent 20 years trying to get back."
Patterson then flashed forward to recent years when the Okaloosa County TDC was rocked by a fraud scandal involving its previous director.
He said such a thing could not have happened in
"We handled no money. We had to go to the county to get checks written," he said. "The people I worked with had such great vision of where we were going and what it was to be. I had a staff that was second to none. It was impossible to fail. Today, you have a wonderful opportunity to do things for yourself and this county that are unique. I am truly humbled to have been a part."
TDC executive director Jim Bagby said Patterson was selected to receive the award by a vote of the council.
"It was a vote celebrating his lifelong commitment to
This was Bagby's first TDC Annual Meeting over which to preside and he chose to do things a little differently than they had been done in the past.
This was the first annual meeting to be held outdoors, and at sunset, overlooking the Gulf.
"Successful organizations live their brand and this is our brand," said Bagby.
There were no slides heralding the TDC's accomplishments or booths manned by those with whom the TDC advertises, but Bagby said the TDC is moving forward, not backward.
"We hosted 3 million people this year resulting in a direct impact of $1 billion for our county.
To see a graphic charting the TDC's recent successes, click here.
Speaking of the changes he brought, Bagby told the Sun later that he attended the annual luncheons in the past and noticed when slides came on heralding the numbers, he watched the people at the tables become disengaged.
"I wanted to bring everyone together to celebrate our success, and recognize past winners and their success," he said. "In the past, we have focused on the TDC and staff and what they had done, but I wanted to focus on tourism. I didn't want a luncheon where people sit down with folks they know. It's about the beach, the sun and the water which is our product."
Bagby said he plans to continue having the event outdoors, and there will be no slides.

And the artist of the year is …
TDC chief Jim Bagby said what defines South Walton is its eclectic style seen in so many various artist's works. This year for the first time, winning artists were recognized in their respective genres, with one overall Artist of the Year then named.
Named Performer of the Year was Mike Witty.
Photographer of the Year is Chandler Williams.
Painter of the Year is Juan Adaro.
Designer of the Year is Stephanie Carter.
And, overall Artist of the Year recipient is glass artist Mary Hong.
During the ceremony, past award recipients were recognized and this year's winners received a champagne toast for their accomplishments. The band Old Bull Young Bull performed.

A North Augusta home was reportedly invaded by three assailants early Monday morning, according to a sheriffs report.
The residence, located on Sanders Drive, was forcibly entered by the subjects at about 1 a.m. The bedroom door of a victim was kicked in by one of the men who was armed with a handgun, and they asked where the money was, the report read.
Another resident of the home was struck in the face with a pistol, and money was removed from the pockets of a pair of pants that was laying on the floor, according to the report. Medication was also reported missing from the home.
The three subjects fled, running across the road behind some houses. No arrests have been made in relation to this incident.

CRESTVIEW — Tuesday was a Senior Night worth celebrating for the Crestview High School volleyball team as the Bulldogs hosted West Florida High.
The senior quintet of Brittany Pase, Kristen Bufkin, Jasmine Middleton, Recie Brown and Molly Woodward took their bows before doing battle with the Jaguars. They then led the team to a 3-0 win over the visitors from Pensacola by scores of 25-15, 26-24, 27-25.
As has been the case most of the year Middleton and Pase did most of the heavy hitting and Bufkin, Brown and Woodward did the other little things that win matches.
Middleton led the Crestview attack with 15 kills and nine blocks. Pase also hit double figures in kills with 10 to go along with four blocks, three aces and two digs.
Woodward had 14 digs and an ace. Bufkin pitched in nine digs and Brown had seven digs.
And while the seniors led the way they had plenty of help from their younger teammates.
Molly Kitchen had 17 assists, three blocks, an ace and a kill. Cailey Ness had seven kills, eight blocks and two aces. Macie Adams had 16 assists to go along with two aces.
The Bulldogs looked ragged at times, but Coach Kathy Combest took the let downs in stride and looked on the positives that go with a win.
"Volleyball is a game of momentum and you have to focus," she said. "You are dealing with 15, 16 and 17 year old girls and in my case, 14 because I have three freshmen. Trying to get everybody on the same page isn't always easy.
"But the kids didnn't give up and kept fighting. That's what we've been missing, 'I'm not giving up. I'm hanging on,' and we've been missing that and we had it tonight.
Crestview (18-5) made things look easy in the first set.
Pase started in serve for the Bulldogs as they scored three quick points to start the night. Pase was serving when Ness delivered the first point of the match with one of her seven kills.
The Jaguars responded to Crestview's open salvo with a pair of points to pull to within one of the Bulldogs, but that was a close as West Florida would get in the first set.
Crestview continued to build the lead slowly but surely with the biggest lead coming at 20-9 after a Middleton kill.
The final two sets were somewhat more tense as the Jaguars refused to go down without a fight.
The second set started out almost exactly like the first set as the Bulldogs scored three quick points. But West Florida wasn't going away as the Jaguars came back and tied the set at 5-5.
Every time the Bulldogs tried to pull away the Jaguars came clawing back into the set.
Crestview led 24-22 after a Kierra Potts kill and needed just one point to take the set, but West Florida scored twice to tie the set forcing the teams to play until one of them took a two point lead.
An unforced Jaguar error put Crestview up 25-24 and Pase sent home a kill to finish off the set.
Things didn't look good for the Bulldogs early in the third set as West Florida raced to a quick lead.
The Jaguars led 10-5 and 15-10 as Crestview struggled to keep pace in the set.
Back-to-back kills by Middleton seemed to awaken the Bulldogs from their slumber and sent them on a 17-10 run to close out the match.

Capital Currents - The FCC's 'annual' report on video competition
So much for the "annual" nature of this report. Why did it take so long?
On July 20, the FCC released its 14th "Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in the Market for the Delivery of Video Programming." The most interesting part to me was the back story, and the nearly five-year interval between the 13th report and the 14th.
This is a report to the United States Congress. In other FCC annual reports to Congress, there is a footnote somewhere on the first few pages that gives citations to the previous reports. It's missing here. You know from the title that this is the 14th report, so there must have been a 13th report.
Eventually, if you read through this report, you find a reference to the 13th report in the discussion of the 70/70 provision on page 32. The 70/70 provision says: "At such time as cable systems with 36 or more activated channels are available to 70 percent of households within the United States and are subscribed to by 70 percent of the households to which such systems are available, the Commission may promulgate any additional rules necessary to provide diversity of information sources." The 70/70 provision is not quite a death penalty for cable, but it certainly is to be avoided at all costs because it gives the FCC authority to regulate virtually any aspect of cable TV.
So if you follow the crumbs and download the 13th report, you see that it was released on Jan. 16, 2009. But wait, it was adopted by the commissioners on Nov. 27, 2007. And all of the research in it was done in 2007. What's going on here?
If you remember, Jan. 20, 2009, was Inauguration Day. And Jan. 19, 2009, was the day Kevin Martin resigned as FCC chairman. That's a clue.
Back in 2009, I wrote a column on unethical behavior in Kevin Martin's FCC. It dealt with a report on the impact of offering programming on an a la carte basis.
The episode of the 13th report was another example of scandalous behavior. It had been clear in each previous report on video competition that the second prong of the 70/70 test was not satisfied. While 36-channel cable systems were available to 70 percent of households, fewer than 70 percent of those homes passed were cable subscribers. But in preparing the 13th report, FCC staff found one set of data that purportedly showed that more than 70 percent of homes passed were cable subscribers. The report was written up that way. All other data sets were suppressed. This was going to be yet another dose of punishment for the cable industry, which refused to accede to Martin's insistence on a la carte pricing.
But the other FCC commissioners blew the whistle. The draft report was sprung on them shortly before they were to vote on it. They were denied access to other sets of data from other sources until 7 p.m. the night before the vote. According to one commissioner, he then saw that the FCC's own data showed that only 55 percent of homes passed were cable subscribers. As their statements indicate, if Martin had brought that version of the report up for a vote, at least three of the five commissioners would have voted no.
So the 13th report was adopted in November 2007, with the conclusion that the 70/70 test was not satisfied. But then, instead of releasing it to the public and sending it to Congress, Chairman Martin sat on it … for more than a year.
But that's not all, folks. Also in November 2007, the FCC adopted a notice of inquiry, soliciting updated data to prepare the 14th report. That notice was also suppressed until January 2009. It asked for data from 2007. So in June 2009, the FCC, now under a new chairman, had to issue a supplemental notice asking for data from 2008 and 2009.
Ah, the new broom, right? Well, maybe not exactly. There is no hint of scandal about the conclusions in the 14th report. In fact, there are no conclusions. The FCC staff crunched the numbers, and the report is an endless stream of numbers. As mentioned above, the title of the report is "Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in the Market for the Delivery of Video Programming." But there is no assessment. The numbers clearly show that the delivery of video programming is a highly competitive market. But nowhere in the report can you find that conclusion stated. With regard to the 70/70 test, the FCC does say that "only 45.3 percent of households passed by incumbent cable systems subscribe to these systems, compared to 56.3 percent reported in the 13th report."
So, is there any scandal here? The scandal is that it took from 2009, when the data was submitted, until 2012 to issue the 14th report. So much for the "annual" nature of this report. Why did it take so long? The FCC doesn't say. While the current administration at the FCC might be squeaky clean, they don't seem to be able to make the trains run on time.

pay no attention to the oppression that is personally inconvenient to me
Incredibly, Goldberg calls the nakba "largely self-inflicted" because "the Arabs rejected the U.N. partition plan for Palestine, attacked the just-born Jewish state and then managed to lose on the battlefield." I'm sure that if the UN decided to partition and repopulate Texas with no meaningful democratic mechanism for resistance and then helped enforce that decision militarily, Goldberg would say that Texans brought it upon themselves.
Goldberg ends his post with a video of some of the atrocities carried about by the Assad regime against protesters, which is interesting, given his distaste for the use of similar images of Palestinians killed by the IDF. I'll resist the urge.
Incidentally, Palestinian activist Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, an acquaintance of mine from my antiwar activism days, has (again) been arrested, as part of a protest march towards Al Walaja, with three other Palestinians and seven internationals. The last I heard, he was being taken to Atarot, near Ramallah. For Palestinian activists who live and work in the United States like Dr. Qumsiyeh, there's always a particular fear of returning to Palestine to protest; it is not unheard of for the Israeli government to prevent them from returning back to their homes in the US.

I suppose it goes without saying that in denouncing what you feel is Goldberg's pro-Israel bias you come off sounding like you're replicating his mistake but just in the opposite direction?

Questions of bias are irresolvable; I'm not interested in prosecuting the case against bias. I'm interested in pointing out that these protests have value regardless of the Syrian government's motivations.
- May 16, 2011 at 11:39 AM
If all you're saying is that then I'm in total emphatic agreement and I applaud you for saying it. Goldberg undersells the non-jewish perspective a lot in his writing. Anything that jolts Bibi and his imbecile right wing clown brigade is good in my mind. Anything that offers a promise of stirring the increasingly apathetic, jaded and rightward shifting Israeli electorate is even better.
But if that's all you're saying then your entire second paragraph seems to have snuck in from a separate piece since it's not germane to the issue at hand. Lord knows I wouldn't want to have a debate about Israeli/Palestinian history and dueling founding myths but that paragraph strikes me as a gross simplification at best and at worst a biased and mischaracterization of the history of the region.

What do you dispute? That the Palestiniansvwere opposed to the forced partition of their lands? That the UN materially supported the partition, despite Palestinian resistance? I'm not sure that those facts are credibly disputable.
- May 16, 2011 at 12:09 PM
Well, firstly there was no Palestine prior to the division of course. There was just the British Mandate which had been carved off of the haunches of the Ottoman Empire after WW1 and they had taken it from the Arabs who had conquered it from the Romans who had conquered it from the Jews (and maybe the Jews clubbed some tribe off of it back in prehistory, who knows). So right off there was no "Texas" to be divided at least not as we understand Texas as a coherent state and people. So was it all "their land"?
This also seems to assume the presence of the "Texans" and the mass violent invasion of non-Texans. As I read the history of it the majority of the Jews in the region who had arrived prior to the "nakba" obtained their land by buying and developing it. Never let it be claimed that they didn't steal/expropriate some of it after the hostilities commenced; Israel was as much born in sin and blood as any other young nation on Earth but again it didn't start out as an invasion and were it not for the excuse of the war (commenced by the Arabs as a whole with enthusiastic Palestinian participation) I do not see how the Israeli's would have been able to expropriate so much land.
And heck, that's just the tip of the objections without even delving into it in depth. No group covered themselves in glory during that sorry mess but still, looking back on it the nakba was an astonishing act of self destruction on the part of the Palestinians and Arabs at the time and let us not forget that their aim was to exterminate or cleanse every Jewish person in the Middle East from the region regardless of their involvement in the happenings in the British Mandate.
I understand that you automatically side with the underdog in any given situation but surely you don't intend to infantalize the Palestinians by taking away from them any of their historic agency in the events of their past?
- May 16, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Yes North, that's precisely what Freddie's doing. By comparing the (hypothetical/counterfactual) comparison you'd expect of Texans to the (actual) reactions of Palestinians, he's infantilising Palestinians.
Because everyone knows that all Texans are historical agency devoid babies. Even those cute Austin hipsters.
- May 16, 2011 at 12:46 PM
Well he could have used Minnesotans, Canadians or Frenchmen for that matter, it wouldn't change my objection.
- May 16, 2011 at 2:11 PM
I fail to see how agency is the issue here. Certainly the Palestinians are historical actors, but that doesn't mean they had any power in this particular situation. Your argument almost seems to suggest that any form victimhood is historically untenable lest we deny those victims their "agency."
The Palestinians (and the fact that there was no state doesn't change the fact that they were a people) were presented with an option that they found unacceptable. Reasonable people might disagree on whether or not they should have held that perspective, but it was certainly their right to feel that way. But the idea that it was a self-inflicted wound or an act of self-destruction because they did not accept an option that was clearly foisted upon them is some deeply perverse logic. The UN partition plan was never a plan they had a role in developing, so pointing to their "agency" in this situation is just ahistorical and incorrect.

Goldberg writes what Bibi What A Yahoo pays him (offshore via two LLCs and a handful of dummy companies) to write.
- May 16, 2011 at 4:42 PM
Perhaps I'm being unclear. I think Freddie's second paragraph was irrelevant and inaccurate to the issue at hand. I'm not trying to argue the morality of the foundation of the State of Israel (What nation exists that was founded morally?) but merely observing that I think Freddy is oversimplifying a complex event in that part of his post and that it is simultaneously demeaning to Palestinians and unfair to Israelis.
Obviously Palestinians and Arabs don't have perfect agency here, but they didn't anywhere in that era more is the pity. How many states were founded in the Middle East by Arabs acting on behalf of the expressed will of their people? Why are we picking out this one?
And as for Bibi? Goldberg is very much not a fan of the current PM, as anyone who reads anything the man writes would be well aware.
- May 16, 2011 at 4:48 PM
I don't think Freddie's second paragraph was irrelevant and I certainly don't think it was inaccurate. The idea that we're still disputing what are a pretty clear set of facts about what happened in 1947-48 speaks to the efficacy of Israel's propaganda machine, but it doesn't change the basic facts: yes, Palestinians were given a choice by the most technical definition of choice. But it was hardly a real choice by any normative definition of the word.
As for your question as to why Israel is singled out, I think the reasons are pretty simple and I'm amazed that this is something intelligent people still ask. Here are the basic reasons:
1. There's no debate outside of extreme fringes about whether or not countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc., are run by hideous and brutal autocrats. Spending a lot of time on that issue is nothing more than preaching to the choir.
2. Unlike those aforementioned countries (and many others in the region), Israel is regarded as a democracy - the region's only democracy, we so often hear. I think its critically important for writers to point out that the "region's only democracy," was founded in a deeply undemocratic manner and has millions of people living under its control with no democratic rights. If the Israeli government were widely regarded as being morally on par with other Arab governments then this exercise wouldn't be as important.
3. As an American, I think I (and other citizens who share this concern) have a particular duty to point out the global injustices that my government helps to perpetuate. Israel is, arguably, America's closest ally. It is certainly the American ally whose actions, good or bad, are most enabled by American support. I think Ahmadinejad is a monster, but so too does the American government and public so advocating change in our attitude towards his government would be a waste of my time given that existing consensus.
So really its quite simple why Israel gets singled out. But this whole idea of Israel being singled out in the first place is a little preposterous. Singled out by whom? By a small portion of folks on the left who have no influence on actual policy outcomes and are generally too ostracized from the debate to have any influence on public perception? Israel is treated with a level of deference by the media and political class that is literally unparalleled in American history.
Most of the commentary around the Mavi Marmara and this most recent issue at their borders has stridently portrayed Israel as the victims and without a hint of irony has suggested that Israel has been under attack. You don't have to be some dyed in the wool Palestinian activist to see that that perception is irreconcilable with the actual outcomes like injuries, body count, and general human suffering.
- May 17, 2011 at 12:07 AM
I don't disagree with any of that in particular but it all remains beside the fact.
I certainly don't consider the Israeli's as pure as the driven snow but I simply don't agree with Freddie's implication in paragraph #2 that the Arabs are responsible for none of the problems they've suffered in the history of the region. They were given a bad deal and their choices (and the Israeli choices) from that point on made the situation worse.
I'm mildly curious though, how many young democratic nations pop into your mind that weren't founded on the victimization of oppressed groups? I'm drawing a blank myself.
- May 17, 2011 at 8:20 AM
I'm not sure where in paragraph #2 Freddie implies that the the Arabs are responsible for none of the problems they've suffered in the history of the region. That seems like a huge straw man.
I read that paragraph as saying this and nothing more: the Palestinian people are no more responsible for the nakba as any other people whose displacement was foisted upon them would be. There's zero implication there that Arabs bear no responsibility for some of the region's problems.
As for your second point about young democratic nations being founded on the victimization of another oppressed group, I think thats a red herring. I could think of many examples that don't really fit with that understanding, but thats not the point. If a nation is founded on the victimization of an oppressed group then it should be addressed on the merits of each case. I am not forgiving the genocide of American Indians that helped found this country, nor would I ever overlook the role the rape and pillage of the Congo played in establishing modern Belgium (and you can go on like this for a while.)
Those, however, are mostly historical cases. The suffering of the Palestinian people is one of the great humanitarian issues or our time and we have the opportunity, right now, to speak out against it. To the extent that we can provide a redress for the injustices of the genocide of American Indians and other older causes, I am completely for it as well.
- May 17, 2011 at 2:04 PM
I have no doubt different people can read the same short paragraph differently.
You can think of many examples of immaculately conceived young democratic states eh? Such as?
But in any event, I have little to disagree with you at this point. Once it's conceded that Arabs share a measure of the responsibility for the fiasco of those wars then we can agree they share some of the responsibility for solving the unique Palestinian problem. Just as Israel is going to have to slap their religious mouth-breathers down and either get the hell out of the Territories or else integrate the people in them into their polity (and thus cease to be a Jewish State demographically) the various Arab nations that launched the assaults on them are going to have to stop imprisoning the descendants of the Palestinians in inhumane camps and let them integrate into their host countries just as millennia of refugee populations have been absorbed before them all over the world.
- May 17, 2011 at 2:23 PM
Reading the paragraph differently? You wrote that it implies, "the Arabs are responsible for none of the problems they've suffered in the history of the region." I'd really like to know where you read that implication in the text.
As for your question about the origins of democratic states, I'm really not sure where your skepticism comes from when you ask the question, "how many young democratic nations pop into your mind that weren't founded on the victimization of oppressed groups?" Who were the oppressed groups being victimized in the french revolution? The oppressed were rising up and it was a violent and bloody struggle, but the basis for the founding of French Democracy was not due to any group's victimization. In fact, thats the case for virtually all modern democracies - countries like Israel and the US are the exceptions. You could certainly argue that the prosperity of most European democracies was built on the exploitation and victimization of oppressed groups and I would agree with that argument, but thats a different issue. Its just a very bizarre argument.
- May 17, 2011 at 5:29 PM
In case I wasn't clear, when I wrote: "the basis for the founding of French Democracy was not due to any group's victimization" - I didn't mean to imply that oppression didn't create the conditions for revolution because obviously I did. What I mean to say is that the democracy was not established by means of victimizing an oppressed group.
Obviously the conditions of Israel's founding could not be more different.
- May 17, 2011 at 5:33 PM
- Freddie said...
Of course, the situation is complicated; of course, there is a lot that happened in the founding of the modern state of Israel, the nakba, and related events. None of that changes the fact that saying that the Palestinians brought the forcible partition of the land in which they lived upon themselves is not credible.
- May 17, 2011 at 9:30 PM
Freddie, I agree whole heartedly. Goldberg overstates the case when he says that it was largely self inflicted. I'd say it was more of an even partnership of bad decisions on both sides. J.L. Wall has written what strikes me as a fair short summary of the events over at the League.
The French Revolution Matt? I'm struggling to see how the event that was the direct parent of Madame Guillotine comes off less bloodstained than the wretched brawl that birthed Israel. The only different between Israel and her older brother democracies that I see is that the older countries were either more thorough, more ruthless or simply had more time to dispose of the people and cultures that were crushed in their birth throes.
- May 17, 2011 at 10:28 PM
North, yes, the French Revolution. No one said that the founding of democracies is never bloody and violent. If thats the case you were trying to make then I agree with you, but of course its such a broad statement that it becomes meaningless. But regardless of what you were trying to say, what you actually wrote was: "how many young democratic nations pop into your mind that weren't founded on the victimization of oppressed groups?"
So yes, the France is one of many that don't fit into that category. The basis of the French Revolution and the establishment of democracy in that country was not the victimization of an oppressed group (unless you consider the 18th century French aristocracy to be an oppressed group) it was the opposite. It was the oppressed rising up against their oppressors. If you'd like a more modern example, just look at the democracy movements in Tunisia and Egypt. They were not grounded in the victimization of an oppressed group.
Virtually every democracy has involved bloodshed as a part of its birth, but the US and Israel are fairly unique in the sense that the birth of those democracies was inextricably linked to the dispossession of land and the general oppression of a specific people. Comparing Israel's democratic origins to other nation states requires extreme historical reductionism. Moreover, as I alluded to in previous comments, Israel's oppression is ongoing - there are still 4 million people living under occupation with no civil or political rights. I'm not terribly interested in history for the sake of moral comparisons. I'm interested in historical legacy and for whatever historical comparisons you might make between Israel's founding and that of another democracy, the most relevant question is not how similar they are or are not based on the historical record, but what outcomes those events have had on present conditions.

City fire crews fighting fire in gun shop on Elm StreetBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 19,2013A fire destroyed three-bay garage and reported gun shop on Elm Street in the city early Tuesday morning.
Rutland City Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said when firefighters arrived to the scene around 8 a.m. flames and a lot of smoke could be seen from the wooden garage behind the home. He said the cause of the fire was unknown at the time, but fire investigators with Vermont State Police were called in.
"We wanted to air on the side of caution," the chief said. "We used defensive tactics, meaning we did not go inside of the building."
Schlachter said a vehicle in the garage sustained a lot of damage along with the various items inside.
"Everything in there was pretty well damaged," he added.
He said they found several guns and ammunition in boxes and that none had gone off during the fire, though they took precautions.
"Ammunition in a box, the casing goes one way while the projectile goes the other way," Schlachter said. "It can cause damage, but not it does not go as fast as if shot from a gun."
The fire chief said the fire was contained to the garage, but the owner of the house was evacuated as a precaution.
Donna LaRose, who lives across the street, was alarmed to see the fire in the shed behind King's house a little before 8 a.m.
"I see smoke, flames, shooting out over there," she said. "I came out and screamed, 'somebody call 911!'"
Other neighbors knocked on the door to the Kings to warn them, and multiple fire engines responded to the street and began to set up hoses with precautions taken because of the threat of ammo in the building.
According to Mayor Christopher Louras, who walked down to check on the fire, the precautions were part of a protocol followed by the fire department in these cases.
According to neighbors, King's gun shop has been in business around 40 years; the owner, Gerald King, lives in the house adjacent to the shop, which is housed in a shed to the rear of the house. King is retired, but still does some work on guns.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Rescue crews on Friday morning found the body of a man who went missing in Langley Pond on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Burnettown Police Department.
The body of Byron Alexander Coleman, 22, of Graniteville was found by rescue crews with the Department of Natural Resources between 7:30 and 8 a.m. on Friday, according to Chief David Paul Smith. The Burnettown Police Department, Aiken County Sheriff's Office and the Aiken County Coroner were contacted shortly after.
"They observed what they thought was possibly a body floating in the water that had surfaced," Smith said. Further investigation, including contact with Coleman's family, revealed the body matched the description of Coleman.
The body has been sent to Newberry for an autopsy.
Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said the cause of death is drowning and no foul play is suspected.
The body was found near where divers and rescue crews had been searching since Wednesday afternoon.
"He was somewhere in the vicinity of 20 to 30 feet where they thought he would be," Smith said.
The incident stems from an emergency call that was received at around 5 p.m. on Wednesday that three swimmers – two men and a woman – were in distress at Langley Pond.
One of the male swimmers was pulled from the water and transported to a hospital. The female swimmer reportedly followed him to the hospital. The three had been swimming in a no-swim area of the pond.
