CANTON The top three candidates for the Canton village police chief job include two members of St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department and a law enforcement officer from Nassau County.
Four people passed a police chief civil service exam given March 23, with the top three scorers forwarded to village officials for their consideration.
Victor N. Rycroft, who has served as the villages temporary police chief since June 2012, said he took the multiple-choice test, but did not pass.
It was a grueling exam, Mr. Rycroft said Monday. I think if I was meant to be here forever I would have done better.
The top three scorers include Nathaniel A. Amritt of Nassau County, Det. Augustus T. Gus Burns, Lisbon, and Deputy Shawn Wells, Canton, said Christopher S. Boulio, St. Lawrence Countys director of human resources.
Lori A. McDougal, a sergeant with the Canton Village Police force from the town of Oswegatchie, was the fourth highest scorer.
Village Clerk Sally A. Noble said letters were mailed to the eligible candidates asking if they want to be considered for the full-time position, which pays $75,000 a year.
Its a generic canvas letter to see if the person is interested, Mrs. Noble said. If they are not interested, the letter asks them to explain why not.
Mr. Boulio said if a candidate on the top three list is not interested, Ms. McDougals name would move up a notch.
If fewer than three eligible candidates are interested in the job, the village is not required to fill the job and can request another civil service exam, he said. However, if three candidates are available who passed the exam, the village is obligated to fill the job and hire from the list.
Mayor David P. Curry said a decision about the police chief should be made within the next month.
I think weve got a strong pool. Everybody has a good shot at it, Mr. Curry said.
The mayor had strong praise for Mr. Rycroft.
I think Vic has done a great job for the village, and well have to see what happens in the future, Mr. Curry said. I know the officers are pleased with having Vic as police chief. He has their respect.
Mrs. Noble said all five members of the village board would be involved in the hiring process. The new hire would be placed on probation for two to 12 months, with the village board determining the time period.
Mr. Rycroft, a retired state police sergeant from Morley, has served as temporary chief for the past year. He was appointed to replace Basil W. Cheney, who resigned after a month on the job after discovering that the $75,000 annual police chief salary was less than he was paid as a sergeant in the department when overtime was included.
Mr. Rycroft said that even if he had passed the exam and were offered the job, Id have to think really hard whether to accept.

RESTON, Va. (WUSA) -- After two months of decorating his house inside and out, Joseph J. Coury's mission to have the "most spectacular traditional Christmas display" was complete.
Although he decorates his house every year and encourages every one to visit, this year Coury decided to ask visitors to support the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Coury says he wanted to give back to St. Jude's who he says is a great organization trying to save children's lives.
Coury wrote, "When [I] see innocent children suffer with cancer and other diseases, it breaks my heart. What better way so show my appreciation for what they do than to share my work with these Little Angels and ask the people who have been seeing and enjoying my work every year to now ask them to donate to this great cause. "
He also sent us a video of his house, which he says was recorded and edited by Bill Bowen of Suburban Video. Coury chose "An Angel Came Down" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the music for his holiday video.
Each room of the house has a theme:
- a "Welcome Theme" with Santa, elves, a Christmas tree with a train in the entry
- a "White Winter Wonderland Theme" in the living room
- a "Green Winter Forest Theme" in the conservatory room
- a "Nutcracker Theme" in the family room
- a "Nativity Theme" in the dining room
- a sitting area on the back deck with a real fire pit to toast marshmallows and view the decorated backyard while listening to Christmas music
Check out the impressive, beautiful decorations in the video above.
Coury says he's not looking for fame. He just wants people to enjoy what they see, appreciate their lives and "to open up their hearts and give what they can to this great cause"

During last week's confirmation hearing for CIA director nominee John Brennan, senators discussed the establishment of a federal court with jurisdiction over the president's death-by-drone program.
As proposed by lawmakers, the so-called "drone court" would be tasked with approving the targeting (and, by extension, the assassination) of people on President Obama's or the CIA's respective kill lists.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said during Brennan's hearing that she was considering "legislation to ensure that drone strikes are carried out in a manner consistent with our values, and the proposal to create an analogue of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the conduct of such strikes."
The plan was seconded by Senator Angus King (I-Maine) who said at Brennan's hearing that he would support a drone court that would rule on requests by the executive branch. King posited that the drone court hearings would be carried out "in a confidential and top-secret way," giving the White House the opportunity to "make the case that this American citizen is an enemy combatant." He sees that process as "at least ... some check on the activities of the executive."
Although certainly not one to recognize checks on the executive, the White House indicated on Friday that it would entertain any legislative proposal for the establishment of such a tribunal.
Reuters quotes an Obama administration official as saying, "The White House has been discussing various ways there could be independent review of counterterrorism actions for more than a year."
In a press release issued last Friday, Senator King announced that he had sent a letter to Senators Feinstein and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), chairwoman and vice-chairman of the Intelligence Committee, to consider a bill creating the new court.
King writes:

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.

He can't decide who he dislikes more: his mother or the (recent) immigrants who come to her sleazy nightclub. However, she has recently hired a lovely girl from the Philippines (Ruby Moreno) who charms his socks off. Maybe his anti-immigrant posture will get changed by her.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Note: Carl Hagelin Is A Draw In Sweden
At the Swedish Newspaper Expressen, Mattias Ek notes that over 6,000 came to see Carl Hagelin's SSK team yesterday and that Hagelin, a Swedish native, is the main reason why.
He says that Hagelin, being a native of the town and someone who was brought up through the junior system, is part of the reason that he is drawing bigger crowds to SSK games.
He adds, "Carl Hagelin's speed is needed in Madison Square Garden and it is of course a crucial difference in Sweden's second highest league. Hagelin has five goals and six assists in seven games, and it goes well for SSK again."

About preceding note, you shouldn't use pg_num_rows() for this.
You should have instead a look at pg_affected_rows().
pg_num_rows — Returns the number of rows in a result
pg_num_rows() will return the number of rows in a PostgreSQL result resource.
This function used to be called pg_numrows().
PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute() (among others).
The number of rows in the result. On error, -1 is returned.
Example #1 pg_num_rows() example
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT 1");
$rows = pg_num_rows($result);
echo $rows . " row(s) returned.\n";
The above example will output:
1 row(s) returned.
About preceding note, you shouldn't use pg_num_rows() for this.
You should have instead a look at pg_affected_rows().
As mentioned, if you are performing an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE query and want to know the # of rows affected, you should use pg_affected_rows() instead of pg_num_rows().
However, you can also exploit postgres's RETURNING clause in your query to auto-select columns from the affected rows. This has the advantage of being able to tell not only how many rows a query affects, but exactly which rows those were, especially if you return a primary-key column.
For example:
// Example query. Let's say that this updates five rows in the source table.
$res = pg_query("Update foo set bar = 'new data' where foo.bar = 'old data' ");
pg_num_rows($res); // 0
pg_affected_rows($res); // 5
pg_fetch_all($res); // FALSE
// Same query, with a RETURNING clause.
$res = pg_query("Update foo set bar = 'new data' where foo.bar = 'old data' RETURNING foo.pkey");
pg_num_rows($res); // 5
pg_affected_rows($res); // 5
pg_fetch_all($res); // Multidimensional array corresponding to our affected rows & returned columns
Not sure why this documentation doesn't have the following note:
Note: Use pg_affected_rows() to get number of rows affected by INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE query.
Found on other resources. Adding here in case someone else is looking for the info.

> Henry, Franco, will a solid inner be available for the new Moment?Yes, though it may have to wait until later summer. Our production team is pretty slammed. I'm thinking it will be more Scarp/StratoSpire style--all solid with mesh vents at top of doors--than the open mesh roof style on the Notch interior but I'm opening to lobbying and good beer ;-)-H

Had been looking at the GL Imogene 3 today, but I like the vertical end walls of the CB3 better. Looking forward to seeing more on this. Any news on the price point yet?
Edited by BER on 02/28/2013 20:16:52 MST.
I like the weight, even with the added crossing pole and snow capability of the Moment. Would be a pound lighter than my BD Hilight. Would not be spin drift proof due to all that netting still. The vestibules would be nice in snow and wind for using stoves, which I'd like in a snow storm, just not high winds.Duane
Henry needs to get some modern Thermarests :)The new tents look nice.
> Any news on the price point yet?We're not quite in production just yet although we start cutting fabric tomorrow. I wont have sewing costs for 2-3 weeks. I'll get it posted on the Cloudburst 3 page as soon as we know. Best guess is that will certainly be competitive with the Imogene 3.-H
> Henry needs to get some modern Thermarests :)Very true. I'm too cheap...
> Hopefully the sides can be pitched close enough to the ground to keep spindrift out.The CB3 has a low fly edge--about 2.5" all the way around--so, yes, if you can manage a very small snow wall.
Thank you for the quick response, Mr. Shires. I will continue to watch this one.
>but I'm opening to lobbying and good beer ;-)I home brew. Some cases for a CB3? ;)
Sorry Travis. The only good beer is farther north. He will have to come to Canada for a trade.
Dave, them's fightin' words.
Yeah That CB3 is looking purty man. Feelin all nostalgic for my old Cloudburst. At least I sold it to my friend so I can still use it.ooooH I just noticed the optional 3rd pole. Henry has his eyes on my wallet.
Edited by WoodenWizard on 03/01/2013 08:14:41 MST.
Fantastic! I figured with the recent sale that a new Moment must be brewing. I've been waiting a while to pull the trigger on a new solo tent. Well, the Moment has arrived. :) I'll be ordering in a few weeks. Thanks for the keen work Henry and co.
Henry or Franco, can you give separate weights of fly, inner, and included crossing pole?Thx.
> Henry or Franco, can you give separate weights of fly, inner, and included crossing pole?The interior is 10 oz (10.1 actually), the fly + stakes + stuffsack is 34-10 = 20 oz. Of the 20 oz, the included arch pole is 6.5 ounces. The "crossing pole" is a 7-ounce option.-H
Edited by 07100 on 03/01/2013 09:35:07 MST.
Wow! Thank you Henry, a winter shelter (non-storm) about 1.5 lbs. I could lose 2 lbs. from using my BD Hilight. I may have to hold off getting that new, large capacity backpack for winter trips, until the dust settles.Duanr
Thanks for the quick reply! Again, looks like an awesome versatile shelter (esp for someone like me who doesn't use trekking poles). Can't wait to order.
Henry,Will you be including a setup video of the CB3 when it's ready for market?
> Will you be including a setup video of the CB3 when it's ready for market?Yes, definitely.

Crews say it is still smoldering. That fire broke out Sunday afternoon at Petrie Hall. Investigators are now picking up the pieces of the building and going inside to determine the cause. Officials say school is in session. They are experiencing a water shortage because fighting the fire drained all the groundwater from the area. That will likely add to the cost of rebuilding for the university. Photo by Tyler Slauson, Action News

When you're scrambling in and out of tanks, you need a jacket that's tough and easy to move in. Same goes for the job site. Thus, our Fire Hose "Tanker" Jacket, similar to those worn by American tank crews in WWII. Simple, functional, and battle tested, it became a tank crew favorite and a prize for any G.I. lucky enough to barter a trade for one from a passing tanker or supply sergeant. Armpit Gussets and rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband give it the extra flex you need to reach, crouch, climb. Hardy prewashed 11.5-oz. Fire Hose cotton canvas is FendOff™ treated to shrug off rain and stains. We've taken the liberty of adding two flapped pockets in front of the hand-warmer pockets, plus zip chest pocket for cell phone. Atten-hut!

Best Uses
I bought my tanker jacket on a deal where supposedly the knit trim didn't exactly match the Fire Hose body material. Well, if they didn't tell me I never would have noticed. The price was awesome, and I really like how comfortable this jacket is. Wore it on a round trip to Shanghai in the fall. I don't see this wearing out anytime soon, as it seems to be well put-together.
Best Uses
I received this jacket just as it was getting colder in the northeast, so I haven't worn it often. It looks great, but the front pockets could be deeper
Best Uses
I have three different jackets that I have purchased from Duluth, I have never been disappointed! I pretty much like everything about this jacket! It is a lot warmer than I expected! It has become my everyday jacket, except when it is too warm, then I graduate back to one of two other Duluth jackets, depending on the temperature! If the pockets had a little angle toward the front (possibly that would ruin the aesthetics?), things wouldn't fall out, I am careful not to put things in the pockets because of this!
Best Uses
I bought one of these jackets that was marked down because of a problem with the cuff color not matching the jacket (I couldn't see it). This jacket is much nicer than the description. First, the description says it's unlined, but the body has a cotton lining and the sleeves are lined with smooth nylon making the jacket easy to slip on over layers. There are also two interior pockets that aren't mentioned in the description. The knit cuffs, collar and waistband are very nice. All in all it's a very nice, sturdy, good looking canvas jacket. The only downside is that the sizing runs a bit large.
This product wears well and fits in wherever I travel. Comfortable and great pockets for what I have to carry
