Incumbent Jeffrey M. Smith insisted that voters have shown an interest in the four-way race for Watertown City Council.
While he has campaigned door to door, the third-term council member said voters want to talk about the issues facing the city and his views on them.
Political observers, however, have described it as a lackluster race, with candidates running low-key campaigns.
On Tuesday, voters will choose two council members among Mr. Smith, incumbent Teresa R. Macaluso, and two challengers, Cody J. Horbacz and Steven A. Jennings, in the nonpartisan race.
Now the candidates have to get their supporters to the polls.
You just have to get people out to vote, Mr. Smith said last week after another campaign event, a meet-the-candidates luncheon sponsored by the Womens Council of Realtors.
Much of the race has focused on the role of city government. Mr. Jennings, 46, the Jefferson County public health planner and public information officer, brought up the issue during the primary by proposing that the city should become involved in helping to solve such issues as deteriorating neighborhoods, crime, drugs and low education achievement. He has pointed out that 18 percent of the citys population lives in poverty.
Mr. Jennings said he believes the city should work cooperatively and come together around the table with law enforcement, school officials, nonprofit organizations and others to solve those types of issues. Its a matter of talking with each other to solve problems, he said.
We have to take a different approach to planning, he said. We have to do some strategic planning.
But Mr. Smith, 46, has contended that approach would lead to the biggest expansion in city government in its history. Besides, organizations such as Neighbors of Watertown Inc., work on housing and improving city neighborhoods are responsible for solving those kinds of problems, he said.
The city would be duplicating services of other agencies, Mr. Smith said.
Calling herself fiscally conservative, Ms. Macaluso, 55, whos running for a second four-year term, agreed its not in the citys place to get involved in those kinds of programs and issues. The city needs to watch its financial pocketbook, she said.
In saying she is the voice of reason, Ms. Macaluso said she asks tough questions whenever council members are asked to spend money.
Im one who says, Should we do this? I dont like spending money. I dont like spending my money, Ms. Macaluso said. I dont like spending taxpayers money.
Ms. Macaluso is proud of the decisions she has made on the City Council, she said. She no longer has to worry about what will happen to the old Mercy Hospital, now that COR Development Co., Fayetteville, soon will redevelop the site for commercial and rental housing. The Woolworth Building and the Lincoln Building, two Public Square landmarks, also will be renovated, she said.
Since he came on the City Council 12 years ago, the citys finances have improved. Property taxes have decreased about 50 percent, Mr. Smith said. The citys debt is also down, while its bonding and credit ratings are up.
But Mr. Jennings said he also is business friendly, noting the Mercy, Woolworth and Lincoln projects will change downtown forever. With all of that already happening, he would like to attract high-tech companies and jobs to Public Square, he said.
Mr. Horbacz, 28, said he opposes tax abatement programs for some projects, such as the two new apartment complexes in the town of Watertown, the one behind the Target store off Route 3 and the other off County Route 202.
However, he supports tax packages for industry and rehabilitation projects like the Woolworth Building and the Mercy redevelopment.
It makes sense, he said.
During the campaign, he has proposed putting programs in place to grow the local economy from the ground up, he said. According to his proposal, local entrepreneurs should receive preferential treatment over out-of-town big-box and other companies.
Although he does not support anything as big as what Mr. Jennings has proposed, he would like to see neighborhood improvements. Mr. Horbacz remembered the days when every neighborhood had a playground and an outdoor ice rink.
He has noticed the neighborhood playground where he grew up is falling apart, so he proposes bringing back playgrounds and ice rinks in all areas of the city.
I think it brings communities together, he said.
Mr. Horbacz is the only one of the four council candidates who did not finance his own campaign. He raised about $2,500 in small donations and fundraisers. So far, Ms. Macaluso spent about $1,400 and Mr. Smith about $1,200. The three filed financial disclosure forms with the state Board of Elections. So far, Mr. Jennings spent about $400 and was required to file only a document called a in lieu of disclosure until he spends more than $1,000.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- An independent poll shows Governor LePage is in a strong position to win re-election, and a large number of Mainers support gun control measures being talked about in Congress.
Portland-based Pan Atlantic SMS Group polled 403 Mainers between March 11 and March 16. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9% at the 95% confidence level.
It shows that in a 3-way race between Governor LePage, Independent Eliot Cutler, and a strong Democrat, Governor LePage would win. The Omnibus poll showed, for instance, that LePage would garner 34 percent of the vote, Cutler had 26 percent and Congressman Mike Michaud had 23 percent. If former Governor John Baldacci were to run against LePage and Cutler, he would have about 21 percent of the vote.
The poll also found that a majority of Mainers did not like the governor's style, but that 62 percent of them agreed with his policies. Pollster Patrick Murphy said those numbers tell him the governor is in a strong position to win re-election. Murphy said, "Obviously the stylistic thing is important to quite a lot of people, but my view on this is poll is, right now, he's sitting in the catbird seat."
Both Republicans and Democrats are taking issue with the poll. Governor LePage's Senior Political Advisor Brent Littlefield called Pan Atlantic SMS a "Democrat-alligned polling firm" because Murphy is married to former Democratic Party Chair Victoria Murphy. The Democratic Party, meanwhile, said its internal poll shows that in a 3-way race, Governor LePage would get 36 percent of the vote, Congressman Michaud would get 33 percent and Cutler would get 20 percent. The party says the distance between Michaud and LePage is within the margin of error.
The Pan Atlantic SMS Omnibus Poll also found widespread support for a number of gun control measures in Maine. Nearly 90 percent of respondents supported background checks, even when the sales are private or at gun shows. 64 percent supported banning ammunition clips that hold more than 10 bullets. And 57 percent want an assault weapons ban.
But the public seemed split on whether concealed weapons permits should be public information. About 49 percent of people said they should. 46 percent said they shouldn't. Those numbers are within the margin of error.

Comments about Marmot Rockstar Pant (Men's):
Sent them back in (personal) preference for something more substantial (for my intended use.) Considering that they seem somewhat designed for scrambling around on rocks, I would have expected Marmot to supply a tad more zippered pocket security instead of just the one zippered rear pocket. Still fine pants if that is not one of your desires/requirements.

For weeks now, geologists have tried to identify the causes of the loud cracks and booms that are rattling the city of Clintonville, Wis.
Their original conclusion was that it was a baby earthquake measuring 1.5 on the Richter Scale. But the whole-lotta-shakin' is still going on, debunking that assessment.
I would like to offer a figurative diagnosis. Perhaps the commotion is being caused by Wisconsin's political psyche being fractured into two. Again.
I mean, let's face it. When it comes to politics, Wisconsin is bipolar.
How can one state produce both Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette and Joseph McCarthy? Russ Feingold and Ron Johnson? Paul Ryan and Tammy Baldwin? Frank Zeidler and Scott Walker? It's like we have two gene pools.
This year, it is entirely possible that Wisconsin will re-elect conservative Gov. Walker and help re-elect Democrat Barack Obama as president.
I will leave the merits of Walker's Act 10 for others to debate, but one thing is certain: It split Wisconsin into factions of us and them. I have seen families torn apart by the chasm. The seeds of the national "Occupy" movement were sown in the Madison protests.
As I walk the streets of my neighborhood, I see yard signs proclaiming "I stand with Walker" right next to neighbors' signs saying "Recall Walker."
As time goes by, I really miss the late Wisconsin Sen. William Proxmire. He was a fiscal conservative, the originator of the "Golden Fleece Awards" for government waste. And yet the man had a compassionate heart of gold and was the ultimate public servant for Wisconsin.
But politics aside, he did not need, nor did he seek, large campaign donations. He campaigned on his feet. You could not go to a Packer game, a Brewers game, Summerfest, the State Fair or a summer parade without running into Bill Proxmire.
People like the Koch brothers on the right or George Soros on the left would have no reason to call Proxmire. He would have none of that tomfoolery.
"Prox" was the first U.S. Senator I ever interviewed as a young journalist. He was a politician who responded to his constituents' needs, regardless of how they voted in the booth. He was honest. No one could buy his vote, because it was not for sale.
Contrast that to the way the political game is played today. The U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision has completely polluted America's democracy. The Super Political Action Committees (PACs) are spending more than the political parties and more than the candidates themselves.
The court's decision declared that companies and unions are people, and cash equals free speech.
I don't know about you, but our home's phone rang off the hook with calls from PACs in the weekend before the April 3 Wisconsin primary.
I don't get that. The only thing I can figure is there must be some large idiot voter bloc out there. Because what kind of idiot would give any consideration to a robocall from a PAC when deciding whom will get his or her vote?
We have reached a new low in which one political party is running "fake" candidates in the other party's primary, just to mess with the system.
I would venture a guess that you are as numb as I am to the campaign commercials on television and radio. I don't hear them anymore. I refuse to. They are disgusting and condescending.
We have descended into our own corners, and we only trust the media outlets that are echo chambers that amplify our own political beliefs. Any media outlets that challenge those pre-held beliefs are considered suspect.
We are at once us and them. Shame on them. And shame on us.

Carbohydrates are the body's most important and readily available source of energy. Even though they've gotten a bad rap lately and are sometimes blamed for the obesity epidemic in America, carbs are a necessary part of a healthy diet for both kids and adults.
The two major forms of carbs are:
So how, exactly, does the body process carbs and sugar? All carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as energy.
The carbs in some foods (mostly those that contain simple sugars and highly refined grains, such as white flour and white rice) are easily broken down and cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly.
Complex carbs (found in whole grains), on the other hand, are broken down more slowly, allowing blood sugar to rise more gradually. Eating a diet that's high in foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar may increase a person's risk of developing health problems like diabetes and heart disease, although these studies have been done mostly in adults.
Despite the recent craze to cut carbs, the bottom line is that not all foods containing carbohydrates are bad for kids, whether they're complex (as in whole grains) or simple (such as those found in fruits). If carbs were such a no-no, we'd have a huge problem since most foods contain them.
Still, some carbohydrate-dense foods are healthier than others. Healthy sources of carbohydrates include:
For kids over 2 years old, a healthy balanced diet should include 50% to 60% of calories consumed coming from carbohydrates. The key is to make sure that the majority of these carbs come from good sources and that added sugar in their diet is limited.
Carbohydrates have taken a lot of heat in recent years. Why? Because many medical experts think excess consumption of refined carbs (refined sugars found in foods and beverages like candy and soda, and refined grains like white rice and white flour, found in many pastas and breads) have contributed to the dramatic rise of obesity in the United States.
But how could any one type of food cause such a big problem? Of course, not exercising and eating larger portions of any foods than we need take the lion's share of blame for the obesity epidemic.
But the so-called "bad" carbs — sugar and refined foods — tend to be significant contributors to excess calories. Why? Because they're easy to get our hands on, come in large portions, taste good, and aren't too filling.
People tend to eat more of these refined foods than needed. And, often, foods like colas and candy provide no required nutrients, so we really don't need to eat them at all.
But this doesn't mean that all simple sugars are bad. Simple carbs are also found in many nutritious foods — like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, which provide a range of essential nutrients that support growth and overall health. For example, fresh fruits contain simple carbs, but they have vitamins and fiber, too.
The 2010 dietary guidelines recommend that Americans eat more unrefined (often called "good") carbs by saying that everyone — including kids and teens — should increase whole-grain consumption and limit their intake of added sugar. In fact, at least half of grain intake should come from whole grains.
Whole grains certainly sound like the healthy way to go. But what makes them so different from simple carbohydrates? Whole grains are complex carbohydrates (like brown rice, oatmeal, and whole-grain breads and cereals) that are:
Unrefined carbs found in whole grains are ideal, refined grain products may be fortified with folic acid (also called folate), iron, and other nutrients, and as a result may contain more of these nutrients when compared with whole-grain foods that have not been fortified.
The actual amount of grains will vary depending on a child's age, gender, and level of physical activity. On average, school-age kids should eat about 4- to 6-ounce equivalents from the grain group each day and at least half of these servings should come from whole grains.
An ounce equivalent is like a serving — so one slice of bread; 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal; or a half cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or hot cereal can be considered a 1-ounce equivalent.
Foods that are high in added sugar (soda, cookies, cake, candy, frozen desserts, and some fruit drinks) tend to also be high in calories and low in other valuable nutrients. As a result, a high-sugar diet is often linked with obesity. Eating too many sugary foods can also lead to tooth decay.
The key to keeping sugar consumption in check is moderation. Added sugar can enhance the taste of some foods, and a little sugar, particularly if it's in a food that provides other important nutrients, such as cereal or yogurt, isn't going to tip the scale or send your child to the dentist.
Instead of serving foods that are low in nutrients and high in added sugar, offer healthier choices, such as fruit — a naturally sweet carbohydrate-containing snack that also provides fiber and vitamins that kids need.
One way to cut down on added sugar is to eliminate soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages, which can cause erosion of tooth enamel from the acidity and dental cavities (or caries) from the high sugar content. And consider these statistics:
Instead of soda or juice drinks (which often contain as much added sugar as soft drinks), serve low-fat milk, water, or 100% fruit juice.
Although there's no added sugar in 100% fruit juice, the calories from the natural sugars found in fruit juice can add up. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting juice intake to 4-6 ounces (118-177 milliliters) for kids under 7 years old, and no more than 8-12 ounces (237-355 milliliters) of juice for older kids and teens.
It isn't always easy to tell which foods are good choices and which aren't just by looking at the labels. To figure out carbohydrates, look under Nutrition Facts on food labels, where you'll find three numbers for total carbohydrate: the total number of carbohydrates, the amount of dietary fiber, and sugars.
Although carbohydrates have just 4 calories per gram, the high sugar content in snack foods means the calories can add up quickly, and these "empty calories" usually contain few other nutrients.
Ensuring that kids get a balanced, nutritious diet isn't as hard as it may seem. Simply make good carbohydrate choices (whole grains, fruits, veggies, and low-fat milk and dairy products), stock your home with healthy choices, limit foods containing added sugar (especially those with little or no nutritional value), and encourage kids to be active every day.
Above all, be a good role model. Kids will see your wholesome habits and adopt them, leading to a healthier lifestyle throughout childhood and into adulthood.

Enid Larue Fail
ELMO/PRICE - Our loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Enid Larue Fail, returned to be with her beloved Vaughn and her Father in Heaven on Oct. 2, 2008 in Price.
She was born on Sept. 23, 1925 in Elmo to Thomas Lamar and Nettie Jane Oveson Davis. She married Fredrick Vaughn Fail on May 2, 1946. Marriage solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple on June 17, 1967.
Enid was raised on South Flat near Cleveland. She also lived in Elmo, Kenilworth, Orangeville and Price.
She was a wonderful mother and grandmother.
You could always find her in the kitchen cooking for her family and she spent many hours working side by side with Vaughn on their farm in Elmo and in Joes Valley.
Enid was a hard worker who lived a life of service to those around her. There was no hardship or sacrifice that she wouldn't make for her loved ones.
One of the highlights of Vaughn's and Enid's life was serving as temple workers at the Manti LDS Temple
She also enjoyed many other church callings, including service as a stake missionary.
During the past few years, she has shown great courage as she faced the many challenges in her life. She has left behind a legacy of love.
She will be deeply missed by all of those who knew her.
She is survived by her children, Deanna (Larry) Gonzales, Logan; Vila (Bill) Jewkes, Price; Brad (Kalynn) Fail, Green River; Katie (Kenny) Woodruff, Sevierville, Tenn.; two sisters, Margie White, Cleveland, and Leora Hansen, Elmo; grandchildren, Ian (Jenny) Humes, Jeremy (Nicole) Humes, Heidi (Ryan) Hartley, Zac (Lindsay) Humes, Jimmy (Heidi) Jewkes, Danny (Hollie) Jewkes, Becca (Dan) Crane, Joe (Amy) Fail, Kaleb Fail, Greg Woodruff, Krissa (Scott) Reid, Tyler Woodruff and Jessie Woodruff; and 18 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband and parents.
Funeral services were Monday, Oct. 6, at the Elmo LDS Ward Chapel. Interment was in the Orangeville City Cemetery. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary.

Libranet... nice.
Is there a difference between the download version and the purchase version?
Story by Jon Biddell
Editor's Note : Somewhere in an alternate universe, there's a Linux user group called the WFTL-LUG. As with many such groups, we occasionally get into discussions about which Linux distribution is your favorite, much like car buffs discussing whether an Acura trumps a Mercedes. You might also recall that we ran a very spirited poll on this website a little while ago on that very subject. So I put out a challenge. I asked if people loved their distro of choice enough to champion it in a series of documents that cover an intro to that distribution, installation tips, and package installation help. Jon Biddell was first off the mark with his introduction to Libranet. -- Marcel Gagné
Many many moons ago I was, sadly, a Windows user. And I was miserable. The servers I managed were running NT4 and had to be rebooted once a month, my personal workstation needed reboots daily, and more often than not several times a day.
I started playing with Linux in 1998, looking for something with more inherent stability and configurability than Windows had at the time, and was led into what could only be described as the dark arts of Debian. An extremely powerful distribution of Linux, but not for the faint-hearted or the new Linux user. So I eventually settled firstly on SuSE, and then Mandrake.
Pretty graphics, reasonably easy installation, good mixture of programs, but still something was missing. There was no meat, nothing that would allow me to easily make it MY operating system.
In 2003 I read about this thing called Libranet in, I believe, Linux Journal. I had tried a few other distros such as Lycoris and Lindows (now Linspire thanks Bill !!), but nothing seemed to grab me the way Libranet did.
I downloaded version 2.7, which was their free version at the time, and it would be fair to say that life hasn't been the same since. I quickly purchased version 2.8.1 for the princely sum of $CA30, and here is where the real love affair with Libranet began for me.

Libranet... nice.
Is there a difference between the download version and the purchase version?
They usually make an older version available for download. Their E-mail tech support remains top notch though.Originally Posted by Gruntled";p="5554
Really is a great distro. I quit using it because of the
people on the Libranet forum.
Its no better than Ubuntu or Knoppix and it is $$$$ for the latest edition.
Knoppix seems to update often and it keeps getting better. Ubuntu installs easy.
Libranet typically makes their previous version freely downloadable and charges for their latest release.Originally Posted by Gruntled
There have been some significant improvements to their latest release. However, as far as Debian repositories go, if you download a Debian release and you have a high speed network, in a single evening you can upgrade even an old release to the very latest applications with relatively little effort.
It then comes down to fwo other factors:
1. Are you willing to support a commercial company for the convenience of their excellent packaging and administrative tools?
2. Are you able to install and maintain Debian packages on your own?
If you like convenience and management tools, the Libranet 3.0 software contains the very newest applications and, hands down, the best Debian-based system management tools available. You can add, remove, and configure devices and applications VERY easily with Libranet, and easier than ever with Libranet 3.0.
However, you can get all of the same applications simply by downloading any Debian ISO images (including old Libranet ones), then upgrading the software through the Debian archives to make your system current.
If you're cheap, get a free ISO image. If you want to support a GREAT company, buy Libranet 3.0. I recommend it if you can afford it.
Sounds nice. Are you missing anything in the free version (any non-free software?) that is in the paid version?
I see highlights on the Libranet site that refer to the "Libranet Adminmenu"... anything else over a regular Debian or Slack install?
You can do all that stuff in Slackware its called a terminal
Perhaps you did not intend your comment this way, perhaps you did, but there seems to be some sarcasm there that might be better placed in a Slackware thread. This is a distro specific thread and we are discussing Debian-based distributions.Originally Posted by mcangeli
I like Slackware; it was the first GNU/Linux software that I ever ran, and I still try it out from time to time. Slackware is stable, faster than most distributions, and just what the true enthusiast likes.
From a packaging standpoitn, Slackware is great for those who frequently build their own software. From a learning perspective and from a hobbyist perspective, that's great.
However, from the standpoint of ease of management, Slackware doesn't come close to what several of the custom Debian distributions provide. The main free Debian software kit still needs a lot of usability work, in my opinion, but many great projects have emerged from the excellent packaging system. No Slackware terminal can touch either the ease or the speed at which you can manage a good Debian system, and in particular, the Libranet administration tools make those tasks that much more easily done. Libranet has put a nice interface around all of its management applications and no longer has that hacked together look. It's always worked well; now it looks clean as it's doing its great job. Slackware can't touch that aspect, in my opinion. You're free to differ on that, but please take it offline with me or invote me to a Slackware thread and keep it out of here please.
The newest version has management applications that have nice clean consistent graphical interfaces, but the tools are mostly the same. The applications are simply newer versions than what was in the previous version. You can get most of it simply by pointing to the latest Debian repositories and upgrading the software.Originally Posted by Gruntled
The main value of the new software is convenience and appearance; new software and cleaner management interface.
Mark, we all know that you are the Board Founder, Chief Admin, PHP guru, Linux wahlla and you play first chair banjo in our drum and bugle corp and are one of the few Slackware users left on Earth, but two mistakes in one post! Well that just isn't allowed, I guess we will have to have janne_oksanen give you a lapdance ASAP.
I have taped two 10 foot polls together and I still would not use them to touch Libranet. That puts me back on topic!

|Help Hospice reach $15,000 goal
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 07 June 2007 05:50
This Saturday, walk for more than your personal health.The second annual Walk for Hospice event is set to run in conjuction with the Wilkes Heritage Festival. The event is Saturday at the Yadkin River Greenway, and with your help, Hospice may be able to meet its $15,000 goal, according to social worker Angie Shoemake. The money goes to medications not covered by insurance. It also goes towards celebrations like Mother's Day.
Over two hundred people are set to participate, that's approximately fifty more than volunteered last year. The event is put on by the Samuel K. Dowell Foundation. Its namesake was affectionately known as "Sam" and lived in the Rock Creek Community. After being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2000, he was able to spend his last days with his family thanks to Hospice. For information on how you can help, contact Laura Hubbard at Hospice at 336-903-7700.

This switch platform is the first stackable switching architecture to deliver Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions in its stackable software for growing workgroup applications. The flexible design enables additional switching capacity without migrating to a new platform.
High-performance features in the Catalyst 3000 series include adaptive cut-through switching technology with automatic error packet detection and elimination. These capabilities fulfill user requirements for low-latency switching applications while maintaining the data integrity of store-and-forward devices. A built-in redundant power supply provides reliability.
The stackable architecture of the Catalyst 3000 switch series allows it to cost-effectively address a wide spectrum of applications. In smaller configurations, it can switch 16 to 24 Ethernet segments with high-speed uplinks connecting servers and other backbone resources. Stacked switches can be managed as one logical entity IP address, overcoming one of the primary obstacles of managing stackable devices.
Recent WAN support makes the Catalyst 3000 series an ideal branch office solution with high-speed serial and ISDN connectivity between systems in smaller offices, or from branch offices to a Catalyst 5000 switch in the central office.

|Four Hurt as Fire Truck, Prius Collide
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 06 November 2012 06:05
Four people were hurt—one airlifted—after the crash of a fire truck responding to a tenacious woods fire and a Toyota Prius. The crash occurred at about 4:10 on Old US 421 near Parkway School when the Stewart Simmons brush truck, heading to the fire call, pulled out to pass other south-bound traffic.
When the truck entered the on-coming lane, the blue Prius, also south-bound, turned left into a driveway and was struck by the fire truck. The impact forced the small Toyota well off of the road, up a hill, where it finally came to rest, while the fire truck stopped just off of the road down the embankment. Four ambulances were called to the scene, one from Watauga Rescue, three Watauga Medics units, one meeting the Med Center Air chopper at the helipad at Watauga Medical Center. Trooper R. C. Townsend said that the man driving the Prius was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center, but that he was in stable condition last night, in spite of serious chest injuries and a possible collapsed lung, while his two passengers—a man in the front, a woman in the rear—were treated at Watauga Medical Center and probably would not be admitted. The fireman driving the Stewart Simmons brush truck was released after treatment, according to Townsend, who said he had not been able to talk to either driver and would release names after he was able to do so, and the accident was still under investigation last night.
The fire call the Stewart Simmons truck was responding to was initially a 3:50pm Deep Gap call to what was found to be a quickly spreading fire off of Brady Lane in Deep Gap. A firefighting effort was set up on two sides of the fire as it spread up a hill, but as dusk hit and winds calmed, the firefighting effort had the blaze surrounded and eventually put out.

'Dress up like a cowboy and come out and shoot guns'
SHEDD, Ore. - It's like something out of an old Western movie.
One Sunday a month, the Oregon Old West Shooting Society gives gunslingers a chance head to the range for an old fashioned shoot-out.
"To dress up like a cowboy and come out and shoot guns," Tuffy Tumbleweed said, "hello, does it get any better than that?"
Using authentic western names like Tuffy Tumbleweed and Deaf Eagle, it's as much fun as it is a competition.
Shooters come from all over the state.
"People come here from Bend, from the Coast, from Portland, all over the place to shoot," said shooter Tumbleweed.
And they come from all walks of life too.
"Some guys, you know, are doctors, some guys are police officers," said shooter Eagle. "We just change hats per se, we just become a cowboy and have fun doing stuff."
They dress up in western costumes, spurs and all.
"I make some of mine," said Tumbleweed. "Some of them you purchase on the Internet and some, friends pass along to you."
And always have their guns in tow, whether replicas or not.
"They're all replicas except for this one, this one is an original Winchester model '97," said one shooter.
For these folks, it gives them a chance to see what it would be like to be a real cowboy in the Wild West.
"It's like getting inside of a video game, except we're not playing with paddles and everything, we get to use the real guns and everything," said shooter Judge McKenzie.
Shooter Ante Ty agrees. "It's just an escape from reality."
Shooters are tested on their skills and their speed, but it's all just a friendly competition.
"We have categories for black powder shooters, we have gunslingers that shoot two pistols," said Eagle. "I shoot two hands so I'm a cowboy."
And when you shoot the gun, there's always excitement.
"The flame comes out of your gun and it's really smoky and it's just a lot of fun," said Tumbleweed.
But for most of these shooters, this event is just a way to be someone else for a little while.
"You don't have to be who you are every day of the week, I can be Tuffy Tumbleweed and I don't have to worry about anything else."
The Oregon Old West Shooting Society was established more than 20 years ago and was the first club of it's kind in Oregon.
There similar clubs in almost all 50 states and in Europe.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö In a Friday afternoon ceremony attended by city officials, friends and family members, attorney John T. ŌĆ£JackŌĆØ Gannon was sworn in as associate judge of the Pawtucket Municipal Court.
Chief Judge Donna M. Nesselbush, who formerly held the associate judge title, administered the oath to Gannon in the Municipal Court Chamber at Pawtucket City Hall. Gannon's wife, Diane Janelle, sons Patrick and Sean Gannon, and step-daughters Melissa Young and Nicole Almeida witnessed the swearing-in, along with his five grandchildren. Mayor Donald Grebien, Director of Administration Tony Pires, City Solicitor Frank Milos, Police Chief Paul King, Fire Chief William Sisson, and retired Police Chief George Kelley were also among the attendees.
Gannon, a city native, is a principal and managing partner in the law firm of McGarry and Gannon on Central Avenue. Educated in city schools, including Tolman High School, Gannon graduated from Northeastern University and earned his law degree from the Franklin Pierce Law Center in 1985. Admitted to the Rhode Island Bar in 1986, he is a member of the Pawtucket, Rhode Island and Massachusetts bar associations and the Real Estate Bar Association of Massachusetts.
Gannon previously served as Pawtucket's city solicitor from 1992 to 1997 under Mayor Robert Metivier and was city solicitor for six years in Central Falls. He also served as Grebien's director of administration in 201l, as the mayor settled into office.
Additionally, Gannon has served in legal capacities for other municipalities, including East Providence and Cumberland, and was legal counsel to the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 2005 to 2006.
According to city officials, Gannon was chosen from a field of seven applicants by a City Council review panel and was nominated by the City Council.

In her remarks prior to the swearing-in, Nesselbush pronounced Gannon ŌĆ£perfect for the job, with the breadth and scope of his experience, the jobs he has held and the accomplishments he has made.ŌĆØ She added that she ŌĆ£couldn't be more thrilledŌĆØ with the council's choice because of the honor and integrity he will be bringing to the court.
Grebien described Gannon as a ŌĆ£trusted friendŌĆØ and an ŌĆ£outstanding attorneyŌĆØ who had also served admirably as his director of administration until deciding to return full time to his law practice. He noted that Gannon has represented the city for many years, and said he was pleased the council had chosen him for the position.

Submission Apple products are a mutant virus Says Acer CEO->
siliconbits writes: Microsoft once called the OS movement a "Cancer", now Acer is calling Apple products a "mutant" virus. Digitimes reports that "Acer founder Stan Shih, in a talks with reporters on September 8, commented that Apple's strong popularity is mainly due to its products such as iPad and iPhone, and these products are like mutant viruses, which are difficult to find a cure for in the short-term, but he believes that PC vendors will eventually find a way to isolate Apple and become immune."

West Nusa Tenggara
West Nusa Tenggara
The Wallace Line, named after 19th century naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, marks a point of transition between the flora and fauna of Western and Eastern Indonesia and acts as the western boundary of West Nusa Tenggara, which includes the island of Lombok and Sumbawa. The northern part of the island is mountainous and lush with tall trees and shrubs. The south, on the other hand is arid and covered by savannas. Large Asian mammals are absent and replaced instead by marsupials, lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more pronounced as one moves further east, where dry seasons are more prolonged and corn and sago are staple food, instead of rice.
Not many are known about this general area in the past. During 17th century, Dutch began to colonize this place. Many people these days stil live like their ancestors, fishing or farming. This area began to gain popularity when Komodo Island and surroundings became famous. Today this area is known as an exotic spot for leisure, especially Lombok and Komodo island.
In Lombok island, Sasak kingdom dominated this area until Balinese and Makasarrese attacked it. In the middle of 18th century, Balinese kingdom reigned this place. Dutch occupied this place in 19th century.
After Indonesian independence, Lombok is dominated by Sasak elite, most are Muslim, and Balinese, most are Hindu.
You can visit Nusa Tenggara by air. From Darwin, Australia, you can go to Kupang twice a week, joinly operated by Air North and Merpati Nusantara Airlines. Silk Air operates from Singapore and Merpati offers flights from KL to Mataram.
You can also visit Bali first, from this island it's easier to reach Nusa Tenggara.
What about traveling by sea? Awu, Dobonsolo, Dorolonda, Kelimutu, Sirimau, Tatamailau, Pangrango and Tilongkabila ferries serve Nusa Tenggara. Slow ferries also connect the small islands.
People & Culture
Sasak people and Balinese dominate Lombok, but Javanese also can be found in West Nusa Tenggara. Arab, Bugis and Chinese also live in this area. Most of Sasak people are Muslim and they value modesty, meaning visitors should respect their belief. You should cover yourself appropriately, meaning going nude or topless is deemed inappropriate. Public display of affection should be limited and consumption of alcohol must be done moderately.
Sea food is abundant and western style food can be found in many places. West Nusa Tenggara dishes, Lombok (Sasak) especially, can be spicy so you need to ask around if you can't stand it. Freshwater fish is also a favorite, try gurami asam manis (sweet and sour gouramy fish) while you're around.
Ayam taliwang (roasted chicken with special sauce made of shallot, garlic, fish paste etc.) is a must, eaten with steamed rice and plecing kangkung (boiled greens, bean sprouts, peanuts coated with chili sauce) and sambal beberuk. They are very spicy though, especially sambal beberuk, made with lots of chili, tomatoes and eggplants.

MASSENA - Mayor James F. Hidy has come under fire again for the limitations he puts on the public comment period at village Board of Trustees meetings.
Massena resident and former County Legislator R. Shawn Gray raised concern about the policy at this weeks meeting after Mr. Hidy told former Town Supervisor Duane Hazelton the public comment period was not designed for addressing questions to the board.
Mr. Gray said feels Mr. Hidys rules on public comment discourage residents from attending the board meetings and from voicing their opinions. People feel theres no sense coming to the meetings if they cant express their opinion, Mr. Gray said. There are usually only three or four people in attendance. People have questions about whats going on, and I dont see why (Mr. Hidy) wont let people ask questions.
Mr. Gray also accused Mr. Hidy of stifling opinions he doesnt agree with, by limiting the speaking time of those who criticize him and allowing more time to those whose positions he agrees with. If they disagree with (Mr. Hidy) theyre usually cut off, Mr. Gray said. People are very concerned. People are making choices between (buying) food and medicine, and when people come to address those issues, they shouldnt be stymied from doing that.
He had questioned the mayor about telling Mr. Hazelton he couldnt ask the board a question and then allowing the next speaker during the public comment session to ask a question.
Mr. Hidy maintained that his limitations on public comment - including limiting individuals to five minutes and barring questions from being asked directly to the board - are needed to keep order and allow the meetings to run smooth and efficiently.
We give every citizen the right to comment on any village matter. This procedure is implemented to keep the meeting moving in a timely fashion, and is not designed to single out any village board member or employee, Mr. Hidy said.
The meetings are not a debate period.
Mr. Hidy also encouraged Mr. Gray to send a letter or email voicing his grievances or to stop into the mayors office directly. He feels the board of trustees meetings are not the right forum for Mr. Gray to share his questions and concerns on village policies. We have some residents that feel the need to use this time as their own personal or political pulpit, but thats not the intent of this comment session.
Robert J. Freeman, executive director of the states Committee on Open Government, said Mr. Hidy is not obligated to allow questions, nor is he obligated to even allow public comment in the meetings at all. Mr. Freeman said the open meetings law guarantees citizens the right to sit in on government meetings, and that its encouraged for municipal boards to allow some public comment, though with reasonable limitations to maintain order.
Mr. Gray, a former chairman of the St. Lawrence County Legislature, said Mr. Hidys handling of the public comment session differs from the other boards he has seen in action during his three decades of public service.
