Tucked back into the corner of a dimly lit kitchen, two boys giggle, then burst out into uncontrollable laughter. The bulb that sits atop a long, skinny floor lamp — the sole source of light for the Sigg-Brown family kitchen — is loose. The two boys, Isaiah and Malik, have realized that touching the base of the lamp ever so slightly causes the light to flicker. Malik, the younger of the two, seems to be the only one in a kitchen full of six who can make the light stay on. "I am magic," the 6-year-old says. Not one of his four siblings, nor his mother, disagree with this statement.
They know that if things get much worse for their family, they're going to need that magic.
This was the scene at the Sigg-Brown house last week, but it's typical just about every day. Inside and out, this is one of the healthiest families living in Coal Creek Canyon. All five children and their mother, Jenae Sigg, eat only organic food; live in a mountain home with virtually no electronics; and spend an hour before bedtime each night reading, doing puzzles and sharing stories.
But as Sigg watched her boys tinker with the lamp that night, her glassy blue eyes tinged with fear — fear that within a matter of days now, they could be homeless.
* * * *
Federal sequestration went into effect on March 1, and it's having local impacts. When you get down to it, "sequestration" is really just a fancy word for budget cuts, and in the case of the federal government, big cuts. The Taxpayer Relief Act, passed in 2012, pushed sequestration back until March 1, with the hope that Congress would strike an alternative debt reduction deal. Unfortunately, that alternative deal never happened, and across-the-board cuts were made to all discretionary programs meaning almost all homelessness and affordable housing programs in the United States were hit hard.
The Sigg-Brown family, like many Americans, isn't really sure what sequestration means. To them, it sounds like something that might affect a jury, not a family of six struggling to keep a roof over their head. But right now, the family is living in house that has been foreclosed on, and they are looking to local organizations, such as Boulder Housing Partners and the Boulder County Housing Authority, for help. Yet these organizations depend on the federal funds being cut by sequestration.

Sequestration will have a significant impact on programs such as Section 8, a federal housing program that provides assistance to low-income families, typically in the form of a federal voucher. In Boulder, approximately 50 low-income families per month will be affected by the cuts, according to Karen Kreutzberg, federal housing manager for Boulder Housing Partners. Nationally, 125,000 individuals and families will lose Section 8 assistance because of sequestration, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) website.
"A voucher can be used by any landlord," says Willa Williford, Boulder County Department of Housing and Human Services director. "Landlords like it because it's a steady stream of income."
Williford says that typical Section 8 tenants pay about $250 per month towards their rent, and the federal government covers the rest via the voucher. To be eligible for the program in Boulder, households must earn at or below 80 percent of the area median income. According to the Boulder County Housing Authority website, a family of six would need to earn less than $87,120 to qualify.
* * * *
The Section 8 program is the Sigg-Brown family's best shot at receiving federal assistance for housing. Aside from the $750 per month it receives in food stamps, the family virtually has no source of income. Based on food stamps alone, Jenae Sigg would be making about $9,000 per year, far below the $87,120 it takes for her to qualify for Section 8.
Last year, when the Sigg-Brown children's school closed, things began to spiral out of control for the family. Sigg was trying to figure out how to balance her full-time job as a barista, making approximately $10 per hour, with finding child care for her kids, not to mention $800 per month for the basement apartment she had found to rent in Coal Creek Canyon. Even though she was working full-time, receiving food stamps and making weekly trips to the food bank down in Boulder, she was struggling to make ends meet.
Sigg was right back in the same situation she had been just a few months earlier when, despite working full-time, she couldn't keep up with rent and raising a family. That time around she was evicted from an apartment in Longmont, and the inseparable family of six spent about two weeks couch surfing before Sigg couldn't take it anymore.
"I was tired," Sigg says. "I was so tired of moving, of being unstable."
So, she rounded up the kids and decided to sit in front of the Boulder Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) until someone decided they would help her family. This was the third time the Sigg-Brown family was without a home, and it was the third time she had been to EFAA for help. This time her perseverance paid off, and EFAA housed her family in a hotel room for a month while Sigg searched for a new home. Finally, she found the basement apartment for rent up in the canyon. Without federal assistance, Sigg felt like affording rent in Boulder wasn't an option. She decided that paying the cheaper rent to live in the canyon would compensate for the extra gas she was using to make the trip to Boulder for work.

Not long after finding the apartment for rent, Sigg was dealt a sweet hand: one of her regular customers raised $7,250 and donated it her family. Internally, Sigg was struggling with whether to continue working and trying to afford child care, or choosing to stay at home with her kids. In the end, she decided that paying $800 per month for rent was far cheaper than the money she would have to spend on day care. With her rent paid for the next few months and some extra cash to live on, Sigg felt like the right choice was to quit her job as a barista, and she decided to be a fulltime mom for the summer. Her intention was to get the kids back to school in the fall, so she could get back to work.
"If I had a safe place for them all to stay, I would work," Sigg says. "I worked during my entire marriage, and I enjoyed it."
* * * *
Sigg's marriage to Jason Brown, who fathered four of her children, ended five years ago. According to Brown, he has been without a steady paycheck for about three months now. He says he can't afford to pay child support at the moment, but he does see his children a few times each month.
Brown did not father 3-year-old Keenan, the youngest of the Sigg-Brown children. Keenan met his father for the first time earlier this year. He has fathered several other children, according to Sigg, and says he can't really afford to be in Keenan's life.
Sigg's plan to get the kids enrolled in school for the fall so that she could return to work didn't pan out. Her hope was to keep all of the kids together in a Montessori school in Gilpin County, but because she had missed the Oct. 1 enrollment deadline, she wouldn't be able to receive federal assistance to pay for the school. After that, Sigg applied for open enrollment in Nederland and elsewhere in the Boulder Valley School District.
Sigg did get her two oldest children, Tiana and Jayden, enrolled at the Nederland Middle/Senior High School for the spring term. Luckily, the bus stop is only four blocks away from their home. Nonetheless, Nederland Elementary was full, and Sigg was told to bring Malik and Isaiah back when fall enrollment opened.
As of today, 9-year-old Isaiah, 6-year-old Malik and 3-year-old Keenan stay home with Sigg while their older sisters are at school. All of the Sigg-Brown children but Keenan have been accepted and enrolled in Boulder Valley schools for the fall. But for the time being, Sigg homeschools the boys. Although they work on reading, spelling and math on a regular basis, it's hard to anticipate how the transition into the public school system will go for the boys next fall. For their sisters, the transition from their Montessori background to public school this year was tough, but the boys are all-too-eager to get to class.
"I'm excited to go to school in Boulder," says Isaiah. "Because I get bored being up here."
"Yeah!" Malik chimes in. "I like Boulder."

With the school situation temporarily settled, the family got dealt a devastating blow. Sigg's dream house, her family's "mountain sanctuary," was being foreclosed on. Soon enough, it would be auctioned off, and her family would be evicted once again.
"This wasn't supposed to happen," Sigg says. "I thought that this house was going to be the most stable environment for us."
The basement apartment Sigg was renting, in the bottom of her dream house, belonged to a woman she had known for years. Plus, the house had been in this woman's family for three generations.
"When I moved into this home, my garden-level apartment in this big, beautiful mountain home, I was for sure it would be long-term," Sigg says.
In fact, Sigg was so sure that she refused to let her kids live out of boxes once they moved in.
"They wouldn't unpack," Sigg says. "So, I unpacked for them. I was like no, we are not living out of boxes anymore."
"But I liked living that way," says 13-year-old Tiana. "I was used to living that way. Being homeless three times, you know, that is a big impact."
* * * *
But when the family got the laminated foreclosure notice on the front door, courtesy of a residential brokerage firm, reality set in — at least it did for the children.
Even now, a month after the house was auctioned off and bought by Fannie May, Sigg still walks the property dreaming about her family's future there. She points to the wood-paneled doghouse that sits across from their driveway.
"See, and this is where I would put my chickens," Sigg says.
Then she points over to a shoddy garden area, where nothing grows.
"And that would be our garden, where we could grow all kinds of herbs," Sigg says.
She looks over to the right.
"And that's the compost," Sigg says. Then she moves on to the upstairs level, where another man currently lives.
"And when Jed leaves, Tiana, Jayden and Isaiah could move upstairs," Sigg says. "Isaiah could have his own room, and Jayden and Tiana could have more of their own space. But only if they can take care of it. If they can't take care of things up here, well, we'll have to figure something else out."
Sigg teeters between fantasies like this and the harsh reality her family is now facing. A couple of days after talking about plans for moving upstairs and getting her own chickens, Sigg told 6-year-old Malik that he couldn't glue a glow-in-the-dark star onto their bedroom ceiling.
"But why, Mom?" Malik asked.
"Well, because," Sigg said. "Because this isn't our house, and someday people will live here after us, and they won't want our things glued onto the walls of their house."
Malik stared back at his mother blankly and sauntered back into their bedroom. Five minutes later, he had an epiphany: He would try to tape the star to the ceiling instead.
Sigg says that she has been looking for housing ever since she learned of the foreclosure, but she hasn't come up with any options. Her gut tells her that she needs to be in Boulder because of the great assistance programs the county has to offer. But because she hasn't found anything else, she believes they are "right where we are supposed to be."
Sigg was able to get the rest of her rent money back, a little more than $5,000, and decided she would use that for living expenses and a deposit on her next place. At least that was the plan. But as of today, the rest of that money has run out. Sigg says the majority of it has gone to gas and food for her family. While she waits for eviction, Sigg is no longer paying rent. And for now, food stamps, food banks and friends are helping her family survive.
In its latest installment of laminated notices, the brokerage firm posted a new "Relocation Assistance Offer" on Sigg's door. If her family had vacated the premises by April 6, they could have received $1,700. Now, if they choose to leave by April 22, they will get $900.
After doing her own research, however, Sigg found out that she legally has 90 days to vacate her mountain sanctuary, which means she can stay until July.
"So, I'm sitting tight," Sigg says. "I'm not going anywhere. Ninety days is three months of rent for me. That's way more than the $1,700 they offered me."
* * * *
The Section 8 lottery and the public housing wait list at Boulder Housing Partners opened on April 10. Both the lottery and the wait list will close April 24. Sigg hopes that they will get chosen for one of those programs, but she won't let her hopes get too high. They've been on a wait list for housing assistance before, before sequestration happened, and they're still waiting. Plus, Boulder Housing Partners still doesn't know how many families they will be able to pull from the lottery this year.
"That's the million-dollar question that I don't have the answer to yet," says Kreutzberg. "We've been looking at funding from HUD, looking at what we expect to get from them for the rest of the year, looking at how many families will go off of Section 8 assistance this year, and how many will stay on. But the truth is, we just don't know yet."
Even if the Sigg-Brown family were drawn for the lottery or taken off of the wait list for assistance, Kreutzberg says it would be at least 12 months before Boulder Housing Partners could offer them housing.
"We are hoping to select lottery winners by mid-May, and then offer vouchers within 12 to 18 months," Kreutzberg says. "That is our hope. But if we run out of federal funding, we can't offer the money to pay for those vouchers."
The Sigg-Brown family needs a home, and they need it now. They can hardly afford to wait 90 days, let alone 12 months.
"It's one of the most difficult things we have to do — to turn people away," Kreutzberg says. "Housing is a basic need. It is so hard to have the rest of your life in order, much less maintain stability and advance, without it."

Sigg knows that she can't wait another 12 to 18 months for help, but she also knows that she can't afford the rent in Boulder by herself.
"I'm tired of moving," Sigg says. "And I'm tired of not having a home. I'm just tired. And if I didn't have five little souls depending on me, I'd be more than happy to wait for the bank to come and literally move me and all of my shit out."
But giving up when you have five children depending on you isn't an option. Camping, however, has always been a viable option for the Sigg- Brown family.
"We've camped before," Sigg says. "I know we could do it again."
True, the family is used to camping. For her sixth-grade language arts class, Jayden even wrote an essay about her family's camping adventures.
"I like camping," Jayden says. "Well, except for when it rains. One time, it rained for three whole days, and we had to stay in our van."
"Yeah, that was terrible," Tiana agrees. "We were all stuck inside the van, and we couldn't do anything."
Camping also meant they were living without hot showers — one of Tiana's most prized possessions. For the 13-year-old, shower time is her time.
Tiana usually waits until later at night, when all of the younger children are in bed, or are almost there. She slips into the empty bathroom and closes the door behind her. For those few minutes, the teenage girl finds some peace and quiet. She finds time to get lost in herself and only herself. The steam rising off of the hot water relaxes her, and when she steps back out into the house again, usually all is dark and quiet.
"Without my showers," Tiana says, "I don't know if I could sleep at night."
The dictionary says "sequestration," like many words, has two meanings. Both apply when it comes to the Sigg- Brown family and the 125,000 families like them.
The government that created the sequester uses the definition to "confiscate until a debt has been paid." But for the families affected by the government's actions, the definition "to isolate or hide away" seems more apropos.
For the Sigg-Browns, it literally means that they may once again be homeless in just a few days. It means that schools and food and transportation — and even hot showers — along with all the other things that most folks take for granted are once again a question mark for the family of six.
And now they are hoping for a little bit of magic.

I fail to see how this woman bringing 5 children into the world without the means to care for them is the government's fault. However, Boulder Weekly subscibes to the concept that no one is ever responsible for themselves, and if they have problems it must be those mean old "insert enemy of the week here".
I am unemployed female with two upper level degrees and no biological family to lean on, but I don't qualify for ANY assistance as a nulliparous woman. However, if I have unprotected sex with a man (any man, doesn't matter) and get pregnant BAM! suddenly I would qualify for HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of grants and services. A sequester doesn't change the fact that she chose to have FIVE kids and I find it hard to feel bad for someone who is so irresponsible and self-absorbed even if they live the "bohemian mountain life".
It seems OBVIOUS to me that if this woman had stopped at one or two, she probably wouldn't be in this situation. As it stands i see a selfish woman whining to the local media that someone else should be responsible for her and her dirty children.
I say, "Quit whining. Get a hair brush for your kids and some birth control for yourself. Many people are worse off than you, even though they made better choices. Seriously.'
It's not about the mother. This story is about the children.
Holy Hell. We're doomed.
I don't even know where to begin. Start with popping FIVE kids by two different irresponsible idiots, move on to camping out in front of government offices demanding handouts, then over to refusing to enroll your kids in the local school (There is a K-8 in Coal Creek Canyon that could not refuse her children), and then onto "I don't want to work." Jeee-sus. I don't want to work either, but guess what? I have to. Oh wait, I guess I DON'T have to, do I? I must be an idiot.
I won't even get into the hardships faced by my parents, brother and sister, all of which make Ms. Sigg-Brown's situation seem insignificant, and yet they have never taken a dime from the government dole. $750/mo worth of food stamps? Squatting in an apartment? Are you kidding me?
I simply hope the kids somehow get the message that this is not OK. It is not their fault, of course, but if we as a society continue to paint a happy face on this kind of blatant irresponsibility by all adults involved, then we are all screwed.
anyone who has spent five minutes with this family knows that jenae is not an irresponsible mother just looking for a handout. there's a lot more history here which probably couldnt fit on to the pages of boulder weekly. this family is an amazing one and they have been through a hell of a lot and they are still happy and grateful for what they do have. needs to be an extended version online.
wow, so much judgement on here. almost every single mother i know did not expect to ever be a single mother. it just happens. and it is a human right to be able to have children - some people are content with having none, some with only one, and some people want a big family - everyone has different plans for their life and no one should live of fear of not having children or anyother dream because of possible "worst case scenarios" - such as homelessness. i am sure the mother never imagined she would be homeless with her children - life happens. and even if you still choose to blame the mother for her choice to have 5 children, it is in the children's best interests to be housed and to have a mother who is supported and thus able to care for them. all this moving has most likley been really stressful, no doubt traumatic for the family, and it must have been exhausting for one woman to try to manage full-time working and the raising of five children - this is too much. it is not the mother's fault the fathers of her children are not helping more. we live in an individualistic culture that is not supportive of one another, of families, of children. have some compassion. we are healing from generation upon generation of dysfunctional families, and it will not end until families are supported more so. life really does not need to be this hard - for all of us. it just continues to because our competitive, narcissistc, profit-valued culture instills such dehumanizing and self-defeating beliefs within all of us to keep us in our places so we do not get organized and create healthy a society based upon mutual aid and community (not profitable to those in power).
(yes, i am a single mother, and i have been unemployed for awhile now. i could not keep a stable job because my son was home sick so often. i could not even imagine how challenging this would be with five children. luckily, i have affordable housing. without this i would be a wreck. i did not not ever expect to be in my situation, i thought i would be recieving more more support. there are so many stressed, unsupported, isolated single moms out there, and beyond there suffering, it is the children who really suffer. i wish all us single parents could just live in a village and support one another.)

Reporter: Marcelino Benito
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The Murphy family has been asking for answers after Danny Murphy was unexpectedly killed when his dump truck rolled over into the Pantano Wash. 9OYS obtained the Pima County Sheriff's Department incident report from that day. It sheds new light on what happened in the moments leading to Murphy's tragic accident.
"I was shocked," Cody Murphy said. "I never expected my dad to pass."
9OYS has learned Murphy's truck was carrying 20 tons of soil and cement. Crews were trying to build up the banks of the wash. Four witnesses saw the accident happen, and they all tell the same story. As Danny traveled southbound on the east side of the wash, the rear of the dump trailer began to slide sideways off the edge of the bank. The trailer began to roll, and the tractor snapped over. It was a 10 to 12 foot drop. Witnesses say it landed "really hard" "upside down" in the wash. Murphy was pinned inside.
"Everybody is saying it's his fault," Cody said. "I don't think it's his fault."
The incident report suggests neither do the four witnesses. They all spoke to Danny earlier in the day and claim "he gave no indication of anything that would suggest any type of impairment." First responders describe a grisly scene. They say it instantly appeared injuries were likely fatal. The report goes on to say "Mr. Murphy's neck was in a position that would not sustain life and blood was running down his face."
"All these things need to be sorted, but the fact of the matter is a good man was lost and maybe unnecessarily," Cliff Lawton, Murphy's pastor said.

Getting off to a good start in Scenic West Athletic Conference play was one of the goals for the Lady Eagles heading into the season.
Consider that goal accomplished.
USU Eastern went on the road Saturday to Rangely, Colo., where they picked up their first SWAC victory of the year with a three-set sweep (25-9, 25-14, 25-10) over Colorado Northwestern Community College.
The game was the first of three road games to start the SWAC play for the Lady Eagles with upcoming trips to Snow College and Salt Lake Community College this Friday and Saturday.
Head coach Chelsey Warburton said the team has had a pretty good start to the season despite having nine freshmen on the squad.
"They're really scrappy and they battle for every point," she said.
With four sophomores on the team, Warburton said the team has been pushing each other both in practice and in games.
The team pushed each other to a three-set win (25-23, 25-21, 27-25) over the Salt Lake All-Stars on Friday night at the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center.
Sophomore Whitney Fieldsted led the Lady Eagles with 13 kills on the night. Freshmen Jessica Wilcox added eight kills and Kathy Collette finished with six.
Freshman Lauren Karn had a team-high 17 assists and libero Malorie White led the team with 12 digs.
While the team is still working out some of the kinks from the beginning of the season, Warburton said SWAC play will test the team every night on the court.
"It's just pure competition in SWAC play," she said. "It's going to get a lot harder for us from here."

Basketball Alums Korver & Tolliver Open NBA Season Wednesday
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton men's basketball alums Kyle Korver and Anthony Tolliver will open the 2013-14 season in the National Basketball Association on Wednesday. Korver is back with the Atlanta Hawks, while Tolliver joined the Charlotte Bobcats in the off-season.
Korver played at Creighton from 1999-2003 and was succeeded by Tolliver, who played for the Bluejays from 2003-07. Last year they were teammates with the Hawks, where they became CU's first alums who were NBA teammates since 1970, as well as becoming the first Bluejay alums to start an NBA game as teammates.
Korver begins his 11th year in the NBA and second with the Hawks. Known as one of the elite long-distance shooters in the NBA, Korver ranks 29th in NBA history with 1,323 career three-pointers and is 12th in league history with his 41.91 percent marksmanship from three-point range. The only other player in league history with at least 1,200 treys and 41.2 percent accuracy is Steve Nash.
Korver's 53.6 percent marksmanship from three-point range in 2009-10 remains an NBA record for a season, smashing a mark held by noted sniper Steve Kerr. Korver carries a 73-game streak with a 3-point basket into the 2013-14 campaign, having obliterated the Hawks franchise mark of 42 last season. In NBA history, only Dana Barros (89), Michael Adams (79) and Dennis Scott (78) have compiled longer streaks.
For his NBA career, Korver has scored 7,117 points (third-most among Creighton basketball alumni) in 738 games (9.6 ppg.). He has also made 87.5 percent of his career free throws.
Korver wears No. 26 with the Hawks.
Creighton fans who remember Tolliver as an inside force may be surprised to learn of his perimeter game. More than 44 percent of his shots have come from behind the NBA three-point arc, and he has made 32.5 percent of his shots from downtown. Tolliver has also sunk 78.2 percent of his shots at the line and owns 240 career assists (against just 173 turnovers), 93 blocks and 98 steals.
Tolliver went undrafted and spent time in the NBA D-League and Germany before becoming an NBA regular. He will switch to wearing No. 43 with the Bobcats.
Including 2013-14, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 30 of the last 31 years, and 47-of-50 seasons since 1964-65.

Lots of people were bashing the trade (including myself). But wow, this guy has been rock solid in the post-season.
Matt P said this before but you just can't doubt Buck.
STrone03 wrote:Just wondering why Tillman was another no show. Instead he decided to go with matchups and the Strop.
osforlife wrote:I bashed the trade. What he did in Game 4 and the wildcard game were enough to qualify the trade as a success.
Matt P wrote:Yes, I would bring him back. He pitched very well after his first start and pitched great against two of the top offenses in all of baseball. He's always been dominant vs lefties so if he doesn't work out as a starter he could be just as good as Matusz was out of the pen.
I forget where I heard it (I think MLBN) where they talked about how acting like him vs the Yankees as a huge mismatch was just stupid. The guy brought up how he was a former top prospect for the Angels and since he came up he is in the top 10 for left handed pitching wins. He mentioned how he always seemed to be unhealthy and have something small here and something small there and once he got to Baltimore they tweaked some of his mechanics and he has been pitching for the Orioles like he was expected to when he came up through the Angels organization.
Now, I think W/L for a pitcher is a meaningless stat but I thought the rest of the comments on Saunders were eye opening. Like you said he's from Virginia. He's mentioned how he used to go to games at Memorial Stadium as a kid and grew up an O's fan. I would love to have him back on a 1 year deal + option or a 2 year deal + option. I would not give him a guaranteed 3 years though.

Longtime North Adams eatery Gringos reopens on Park Street in Adams to reunite with former regulars.
ADAMS, Mass. — Gringos owner David Nicholas did not advertise that he was reopening at the former Firehouse Cafe on Park Street in hopes to have a quiet time to work out any kinks. That did not happen.
"It was the talk to the town for about six months and when we opened it was mobbed. Absolutely mobbed," he said.
Gringos, a longtime North Adams staple, was forced to close four years ago when the city sold the North Adams Plaza. When the Firehouse Cafe closed, Nicholas and his friend Burton Kirk, owner of the firehouse that once housed the Adams Ambulance, teamed up to reopen. Despite being closed for four years, Gringos was not forgotten.
Gringos Owner David Nicholas is confident that a new Park Street location will be a success.
"I think it'll be successful. It'll make money," he said. "It's just been a great response."
The former Firehouse Cafe recently closed down because of a lack of business. Kirk was leasing it out but when the cafe closed, it seemed it would sit empty.
The building is filled with history and character, Nicholas said. It was built in 1890 and served as the town's first firehouse. The restaurant seats patrons where the trucks used to be. The only drawback, he said, is that it is smaller than the North Adams location.
The restaurant has a smaller but similar menu with mostly Mexican but also some American food. It is open Monday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m., and on Friday through Sunday, from 4 to 11 p.m.
It sounds a little weird and it wasn't what I expected when I walked into Nana's Country Market in Adams. What caught me was the sandwich board outside that said "Ham and cole slaw."
It was about 4 p.m. ; going back to the office meant no dinner until after a city council meeting and a ham sandwich sounded pretty good. I've been meaning to stop in at Nana's and this seemed a good a time as any.
Jill Richardson and Frank Willis opened the tiny market and deli a few months ago. I'd watched the progress on the building just down from Angelina's as I'd sped by on my way up and down Route 8.
Look at that bread!
Getting there isn't all that easy. Columbia Street can be tough to cross at that time of day, so I turned around in the carwash and found a parking spot right in front.
Richardson was manning the counter as I perused the sandwich offerings, all around $5. The turkey with cranberry sounded good, so did the roast beef. (The market also offers sliced meat to go along with the staples of bread and milk.) But I came in for ham.
What's on the sandwich, I asked. "Ham, cheese, a slice of tomato and cole slaw on white, wheat or rye," she responded. Cole slaw on the sandwich? Yes, cole slaw on the sandwich.
This I had to try. My only change was the addition of some lettuce to hopefully help hold the dripping to a minimum. "You'll need a napkin," said Richardson.
Honestly, it wasn't that drippy. It was a nice mix of regular and red cabbage with carrots — not to vinegary and not mayo-gloppy. It went well with the sliced ham in between two slabs of homemade rye bread. Really good rye bread.
I could get used to having my side order on my main course and I'll definitely be trying Nana's next interesting concoction.

Product Test: Snow Marker
We bought the Snow Marker at Target for $3.99. It is meant to give you some fun in the snow! You add the packet to the marker holder and fill it with water. It gives you a thin paint-like product that you can spray onto snow. It is not edible and will stain, so you do have to be very careful.
You can write messages, draw things or play games. It is easy to use and can be fun. We gave it two thumbs up.

OGDENSBURG The Ogdensburg International Airport is finishing up another record year.
Entering March, the last month of the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authoritys fiscal year, 9,442 passengers had traveled through the airport, 2,454 more than the 6,988 passengers who used the airport during the same period last year a 35 percent increase.
In other positive news for the port authority, the airport has increased its sale of airplane fuel from 17,045 gallons last year to 26,590 gallons this year, a 9,545-gallon or 56 percent rise.
In February, the facility served 666 passengers, up from 608 in February 2012.
There were a couple of days where there werent any flights, so that number is significant, said Frederick S. Morrill, authority deputy director.
The authority is eager to see how a new downtown ticket office, opened by commercial carrier Cape Air of Barnstable, Mass., affects its passenger numbers.
It will be interesting to see if the downtown office will increase ticket sales, said Wade A. Davis, OBPA executive director.
At stake is $1 million in FAA funding available to airports that board more than 10,000 passengers annually.
