CANTON Bobbie Joe Zeller, the Norfolk woman accused of stealing more than $300,000 from a Waddington priest, pleaded not guilty Monday to eight felony charges at her arraignment in St. Lawrence County Court.
Ms. Zeller, 36, of 72 W. Main St., Apt. 4, faces two counts of second-degree grand larceny, two counts of third-degree grand larceny, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and one count of first-degree scheme to defraud.
Two witnesses in the case will be questioned today in a conditional examination.
The questioning of Monsignor Robert L. Lawler and June H. McQueeney, both of Waddington, will be taped, as health issues facing the two may be a factor in their ability to participate in the trial, according to Ms. Zellers attorney, Brian D. Pilatzke.
Those recordings will be used in the case of a trial.
Monsignor Lawler has told investigators that Ms. Zeller received more than $300,000 from him and his parish after manipulating them with stories about her desperate need for cash to care for an ailing son.
A St. Lawrence County grand jury indictment against Ms. Zeller alleges that she stole from Monsignor Lawler by false pretense and by false promise from fall 2010 to January of this year.
The case against Ms. Zeller culminated Jan. 8 with three fake checks she is accused of passing to the priest for $300,000, $25,000 and $6,800, purportedly to pay him back. After years of charity, he became suspicious and contacted a diocesan official, who confirmed the forgeries with the bank.
Additionally, Ms. Zeller is accused of stealing $3,000 from Ms. McQueeney under false pretenses, between fall 2010 and January of this year.
Ms. Zeller previously was held in St. Lawrence County jail without bail. Mr. Pilatzke requested that St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards consider releasing her under the supervision of probation.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� filed an opposition against release in May and continued that recommendation.
Ms. Zeller was sent to jail with bail set at $300,000 cash or $600,000 bond. No date has been set for her reappearance.

Softball Edges Wichita State on Inside-The-Park Home Run
Creighton (28-16, 14-6 MVC) and Wichita State (18-31, 9-14 MVC) will finish the series with a doubleheader beginning at noon on Sunday to conclude the regular season in the Valley. The victory keeps the Bluejays in control of their own destiny in the chase for the regular-season title and top overall seed in the MVC Tournament next week.
Second-place Drake and third-place Illinois State were idle Saturday with games rained out. The Bulldogs will host Northern Iowa Sunday in a doubleheader while the Redbirds finish the year on the road at Evansville.
Dike extended her career-high hitting streak to 10 consecutive games with her inside-the-park effort. It marked her third career inside-the-park home run after posting two last season – one of those at Wichita State on April 7, 2012. The inside-the-park feat was the second by a Bluejay this season; freshman Kelsey Allender also touched all four with the ball in the park against Grambling State on Feb. 24.
Allender posted two of the Jays' hits on Saturday while junior Ellen Homan extended a four-game hit streak with a double.
In the circle, junior Becca Changstrom guided Creighton to a victory with her seventh shutout of the season. She allowed just three hits and allowed two walks on the day. Three of those base runners occurred in the top of the seventh as the Shockers loaded the bases with two outs. Changstrom then fanned her tenth batter of the game to claim the 1-0 complete-game victory. The total marked her 12th double-digit strikeout effort of the season.
Neither team scored through the first five innings as the pitchers and defense kept hitters off the base paths. Both teams left five on base during the contest.
Dike opened the bottom of the sixth with a fly to deep right field that was aided by a stiff wind and got away from the right fielder. The Shockers did get the ball to the plate for a play but Dike slid her hand over the dish before a tag could be made. Creighton later put two runners on with walks in the frame but could not bring them around.
In their final at-bat the Shockers started a threat with a one-out single. With one on and two outs, Wichita State batters drew a walk and notched a single in front of the plate to load the bases before the final Shocker went down swinging.
Changstrom improved to 21-8 with the win.
Creighton concludes the regular season at home with a Sunday doubleheader slated to begin at noon.

This most needed and minimally glamorous task is one that Christine Miller and Gary Glaser have done on behalf of San Francisco Opera for more than 30 years. They have picked up countless artists from San Francisco International Airport over the years, and it is one of the many reasons why they are the recipients of the 2013 Spirit of the Opera Award, the highest honor the Opera bestows upon members of our community.

Donors contributed a record $237.4 million to the California State University in 1997/98, according to the 1997/98 Annual Report of the Survey of Voluntary Support for the CSU submitted to the CSU Board of Trustees today (Tuesday, January 26). The total, which includes gifts from alumni, parents and other individuals, as well as foundations, corporations and other organizations, increased by 37 percent -- up from $173 million in 1996/97.
Combined with $410.5 million in special revenue from sources such as sponsorships, bequests, trusts, multi-year pledges, contracts, grants, property transfers and endowment income, the total received from external funding in 1997/98 was nearly $648 million, an increase of 11.8 percent over last year.
"The progress the CSU has made in fund raising over the past several years is remarkable. It is the result of hard-working advancement professionals throughout the system and the leadership of our trustees, presidents and chancellor, as well as the generosity of contributors who demonstrated their confidence in the mission of the CSU," said Douglas X. Patiño, CSU vice chancellor for university advancement. "Increasing private support is essential in helping the CSU reach the next level of quality for our students."
Of the $237.4 million total raised from voluntary giving, 41 percent came from alumni and friends, 47 percent from corporations and other organizations, and 12 percent from foundations.
In the early 1990ís the CSU Board of Trustees encouraged campuses to increase their efforts in fund raising and provided support for their efforts. Since that time, voluntary support of the CSU has increased by more than 117 percent over the past six years, when the total was $109.4 million. Altogether, from 1992/93 through 1997/98 the CSU has raised $956.9 million in gifts.
CSU Long Beach had the largest amount of voluntary support for 1997/98 and the largest increase over the previous year. A $10 million increase brought the campus total to $36 million. Other campuses in the top five in 1997/98 fund raising are: San Diego State, $29.7 million; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, $21.3 million; Fresno State, $20.7 million; and CSU Los Angeles, $18.5 million.
The 1997/98 CSU State Support Budget was $2.03 billion, meaning that the CSU now raises almost one dollar from external funding for every three dollars of state support.
Last year, a study found that 10 of the top 20 public masterís universities in the nation in total voluntary support were CSU campuses, including Long Beach at number one.

|New research finds a small -- but present -- chance of a collision between Earth and one of its planetary neighbors in the next few billion years. Writing in the journal Nature, a team of astrophysicists works the odds of irregularities in the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars eventually leading to a collision between two of the planets. Other scenarios, also unlikely, lead to the ejection of one of the planets from the solar system. The simulations performed by the researchers are more accurate than previous models, with fewer averages and approximations. We'll find out more.

Program Testimonials
I'm very happy that I was shown by fitness staff how to do a strength program, with exercises that are right for me. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If I need help, I just have to ask.
My benefits:
I am no longer a candidate for osteoporosis and don't need medication for type II diabetes.
I could not have achieved this on my own.
Thank you YMCA staff
Prior to joining the YMCA, I suffered from fibromyalgia and arthritis.
I never saw myself as a gym member. I was always in pain and could not conceive that exercising would make me feel good. My next door neighbour encouraged me to try the Y out for a week. Needless to say, I was hooked.
I am happy to say my fitness program has helped so that I no longer suffer. I have been able to decrease my medication and my goal is to kick it totally. I've lost 20 lbs., gained healthy muscle mass and a good outlook on exercise in a gym setting and all of its benefits to body, mind and soul.
Wow! My fitness coach listened to me- I was asked what I wanted to achieve for myself. When I said I wanted to look good, improve my health and be able to run with my kids, I was told "let's do it". Together we came up with a plan and although I am still working on being able to run with my boys, I feel and look great. I feel confident I can keep this up.
Personal Training Services
The YMCA also has personal training services available, in some locations. Sessions with our certified personal trainers may be purchased for a fee. Personal training is a great option if you require sport specific training or just need the encouragement of a trainer on a consistent basis, to motivate you during your workout.
Please contact the fitness program coordinator at your branch location for more details.

DERBY – Local businessman Grant Spates is an experienced member of many different boards and now he would like to be a member of the Derby Select Board. Long-time member Karen Jenne has opted to not seek re-election for a three-year seat, leaving an open place.
In a recent interview, Spates was critical of some of Jenne's actions as a board member. Jenne was an opponent of the proposed industrial-sized wind turbines on two farms in town.
Spates said she should have kept her personal opinions on the back burner as an elected official and he questioned the appropriateness of Jenne's actions. Spates said he would support a town-wide vote on residents' opinions of wind turbines, and thinks the vote should occur at Town Meeting. He feels that if surveys were mailed out instead, only people who feel passionate would return them.
For more on Grant Spates' run for a seat on the Derby Select Board, see Tuesday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 5, 2013.
Firstly, Mr Spates remark that Ms Jenne should keep her opinions to herself because she is an elected official, doesn't hold water. Both the Chairman of the Selectboard Brain Smith and Zoning Admin/Town Administrator Bob Kelly have on many occasions voiced their pro-wind comments at public meetings. Both Mr Kelly and Mr Smith gave verbal testimony supporting Industrial Wind Turbines at the public hearing held by the Public Service Board at Derby Elementary School. Secondly, the Town of Derby has absolutely no setbacks from residential structures in place, no health effect studies, and no property devaluation studies. The proposal to erect a 40 story structure on rolling farmland less than one mile from 500 residential structures and an international boundary is ludicrist. Mr Spates has demonstrated all the reasons why he is NOT a good candidate for the Selectboard, he has sunk to a level of empty criticisum. He demonstrates he cannot be trusted to always act with the town resident's interest in mind. Mr Spates is a contractor, his opine is tainted with self interest. Yep, the Old Boys Club is alive and well. Conversely, Ms Jenne conducts her decisions based on what is best for the Town of Derby citizens, after she has researched and educated herself on issues. The major consideration regarding a Selectboard person is will they represent the citizens in a knowledgeable manner without self interest or back room politics, Ms Jenne has always conducted herself in that manner. For the residents of the Town of Derby, remember when you place your vote, it is about who will serve you, not how many boards they have been on, not how much money they have, not who they know, but who they will serve!

What travelers to Las Vegas are saying
Earn up to 5% on hotels and 1% on flights - It's free!
By clicking, I agree to the terms and conditions.
Indulge in the Glitz and Glamour of Las Vegas
Las Vegas has become the world's most popular holiday destination, with more visitors per year than any other city. That's quite an achievement for a city that's sprung from the Nevada desert and become a scarcely believable playground for all tastes.
Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes imaginable, from the Luxor pyramid, to the glitz of Caesar's Palace through to the decadent luxury that is the Wynn & the Encore at the end of the Strip.
While the city is marketed primarily as a place for adults, there's plenty for families to do as well. Most of the hotels in Las Vegas have catered in some ways for the underage, Excalibur has nightly jousting shows over dinner, Circus Circus has an indoor rollercoaster and amusement park & the MGM has a fantastic five pool complex complete with waterfalls & grottos.
Vegas is also the worlds largest conference and convention destination – you can be pretty sure that every hotel on the strip (and a lot of the off strip Vegas hotels) are hosting at least one gathering on any given day of the year.
With more meeting space than any other city in the world, Las Vegas hosts a number of high profile events throughout the year, including the ABC Kids Expo, the International Vision Expo West 2014, the Solar Energy Trade Show and Mr. Olympia. The city has a number of luxurious convention facilities, including the Cashman Center, the Sands Expo & Convention Center and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The large casinos offer a variety of dining options, from buffets to gourmet food to simple cafes. Also, Las Vegas is known for great steakhouses with high quality meat cooked to perfection. This city is also home to the famous "Heart Attack Grill" which serves incredibly high calorie menu items such as the "Triple Bypass Burger". Most of the hotels on the Las Vegas strip feature both café type eateries through to fine dining, if you haven't been to the SW steakhouse at the Wynn (named after Steve Wynn's initials!) then you're missing out. The wine selection is second to none and the food is to die for.
Major Points of Interest
The most famous attraction in Vegas is gambling and there are countless enormous glittering casinos where you can spend hours hypnotised by card games and slot machines. This city also offers lots of great nightly entertainment, including comedy shows, live musical theatre, erotic dance clubs, variety shows and circus acts. Also, get a thrill on the rides, such as "The X-Scream" at the Stratosphere Hotel and "The Roller Coaster" at the New York New York Hotel. That's not all that Las Vegas has to offer though, you're only a short drive away from untouched desert with some of the best vistas in the States, Red Rock Canyon is less than an hour away, as is the world famous Hoover Dam, or the more adventurous could always book a helicopter ride and see the Grand Canyon.
Las Vegas is a shopping lover's playground, with many great malls to choose from. The Fashion Show Mall offers sweet styles from popular designers, the Town Square provides relaxing open air shopping and the Las Vegas Premium Outlets boasts discounts on your favorite brands.
The city's most important sporting event of the year is the finals of the annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit. It is held in December at the Thomas & Mack Center. A number of hotels in Las Vegas have also hosted the annual World Series of Poker, most recently the Rio Hotel and Casino has held that honor attracting tens of thousands of professional players from across the globe. Las Vegas also hosts the USA Sevens, part of an annual circuit of events for rugby sevens teams.

!opening in Paris at the Palais d'Iéna [yesterday]
|The 24-hour Museum, a collaboration between AMO, Prada and artist Francesco Vezzoli, opens in Paris on Tuesday night at the Palais d'Iéna, a modernist pavilion built by Auguste Perret in 1937. The one-off event – including an opening night party, public and press tours, and visits by schoolchildren – will be a staging of a "fake" museum, examining the modes in which art is presented and consumed, and the role of the museum as a social condensor.
|AMO's Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli comments: "This is a new step in the ongoing collaboration between AMO and Prada. For us, it's an opportunity to question the conditions of the museum we so often encounter."
AMO has designed three types of exhibition spaces for the concrete interiors of the Palais d'Iéna: one classical and propagandistic, framed by the monumental curving stairs; one experimental contemporary, featuring a cage surrounding the main hall, illuminated with pink neon; and one named "Storage or Salon de Refusés", inspired by forgotten museums and warehouses. Vezzoli's statues – featuring the faces of contemporary celebrities – will be installed throughout the spaces.
The result is an ephemeral "total museum" that hosts a sequence of rituals unfolding through the 24 hours.

What is CASA for Children?
Every day in this country, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect, and four of them will die. Every day. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is a network of 949 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates—empowered directly by the courts—offer judges the critical information they need to ensure that each child's rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.
Volunteers stay with children until they are placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives.
get involved
Are you ready to change a child's life? Join a national network of more than 76,000 volunteers standing up for the rights of abused and neglected children in their community. Learn more and contact your local CASA or guardian ad litem program today. Read More >>
More than 251,000 children have a CASA volunteer standing by their side each year, ensuring their voices are heard and needs are met. But another 400,000 go it alone. You can change that. Donate to National CASA Association—help us reach every child. Read More >>
CASA for Children is one place where a single individual—you—can make all the difference. Become a member of this caring community—on the local or national level. Become a volunteer, a donor, or simply stay in touch and informed. Read More >>

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
A proposed tax hike for next year was discussed at first public hearing at the Price River Water Improvement District board meeting on Tuesday.
The PRWID staff had prepared the room for a crowd of people to talk about the issue.But the vast majority of the seats were filled by PRWID employees and people who were at the meeting for different reasons.
The session was a preliminary tax increase meeting which the state requires the district to have and at which the board takes no action on the issue.
The final public hearing on the proposed increase will come next August and at that meeting the board will have to make a decision on the issue.
PRWID board member Keith Cox assured residents at the meeting on Tuesday that no decisions by the board have been made on the proposal, which would increase the property tax on a home assessed at $150,000 about $16.59 per year.
"In our eyes, there is a need for an increase to cover ever escalating costs incurred by the district," said Cox.
He cited three issues that are driving the move for an increase which would raise the districts mill levy from .0006 to .0008. The first reason he cited was concerned increased fuel costs.
"While our reasoning on this includes fuel for our district vehicles, it also includes the extra money it is costing us to have supplies and materials shipped to us," said Cox. "We also have to use energy at the plants to treat water and to process sewage, and those costs have increased as well."
Cox also noted the fact that the district has acquired a number of small water companies over the years, increasing the need for more maintenance help
Finally, the board member explained that the costs of having employees is increasing as well, particularly in the areas of benefits, such as health insurance.
Cox then asked the staff to comment on other factors that play into a needed increase.
"One of the things that has been concerning us is our bond payments that come due each April," pointed out Phil Palmer, the district's manager, concerning the near $1 million dollar obligation that comes due every year.
"To balance our budget in the last few years, we have been pulling money out of our reserves. We have depleted those to the point that we are coming close to not meeting our covenants on those loans," added Palmer. "We certainly do not want to default on any of the provisions concerning our bonds."
Jeff Richens, assistant district manager, talked about the increase in terms of how it would affect people's tax bills.
"The increase in the cost to home and business owners is not as much as it first appears by the way we advertised it in the paper," explained Richens. "State law requires us to advertise it a certain way and the ad stated it would be a 23 percent increase. But that could be taken wrong, because it is only a 23 percent increase on PRWID's portion of the taxes, not the entire tax bill. I also want to point out that this would be the first tax increase the district has requested since it was formed in 1961."
The staff also presented to the board and those at the meeting a written cost comparison of various kinds of materials and supplies the district uses based on figures in 2000 and those from this past year. The comparison shows that in 2000 a ton tank of chlorine for the water plant cost $490. But in 2004, it has gone up to $600, which is a 22.5 percent increase in cost. They also noted that electricity has gone up 7.5 percent, natural gas has increased 51 percent and gasoline for district vehicles has increase in cost 38 percent since that same year.
When Cox opened the meeting for public comment only two residents of the county spoke.
Lynna Topolovec, a resident of Spring Glen, asked about the difference between the money raised by taxes and those raised by water and sewer rates, and how for what those funds are used.
"We have various funding sources for various parts of the budget," said Richens. "If you look through the budget for next year you can see each department has different revenue sources. On some things, however, we have no choice. For instance, general obligation bonds must be entirely paid from tax revenues, as required by state law."
Palmer, pointed out however, that most of the funds that come from both sources are plugged into the budget at the discretion of the board.
Another resident voiced his support of the increase saying that based on his experience with what is going on with the economy, the district will need the money.
"We think this increase is important because everything is going up in cost and the district cannot continue to operate without more funding. If they don't get it there will be a train wreck down the road," said Dennis Cole.
There was no voiced opposition to the increase during the public hearing.
In another agenda item, Palmer said that "The Hill" subdivision pump house project is moving along again.
"Our cement contractor showed up on Dec. 15 like he said he would and will be pouring the walls to the pump house this Thursday," he said. "Then they will remove the forms and pour the roof next week. Of course, in this weather the concrete will need to be heated for it to set up properly."
Richens said that the electrical contractor had been roughing the electrical boxes as the cement is being put in as well. He also presented a bill to the board for $3,011.15 from Ballard Electric for materials they have bought for the project. The board approved payment.
The board also approved a meeting calender for next year. The PRWID board will meet the first and third Tuesday of each month except in December when the second meeting of the month will take place on Dec. 27 to allow for easier computation of yearly costs at the end of the budget cycle.

SBA eliminates fees for loans $150K, under
WASHINGTON – The Small Business Administration is waiving all fees on 7(a) loans in the amount of $150,000 or less starting Oct. 1.
The SBA determined to eliminate the fees on loans of $150,000 or less after conducting a review of the 7(a) Loan Program. As a result, a small business owner obtaining a $150,000 loan will save more than $2,500.
The 7(a) Loan Program is the SBA's primary program to help start-up and existing small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels.
Vermont small business owners have greater potential to take advantage of the waiver than those in other states and territories because the average 7(a) loan made in Vermont is $132,000 whereas the national average 7(a) loan is $375,000.
The SBA does not make direct loans, it guarantees loans made and administered by commercial lending institutions.
Most banks and credit unions in Vermont are SBA participating lenders.
To find an SBA lender, visit www.sba.gov/vt or for more information, call 802-828-4422.

Several years ago, researchers proposed the provocative idea that bacteria living in the human stomach could be responsible for the development of some stomach ulcers -- and the doctors found that treating those bacteria, H. pylori, with antibiotics could reduce ulcer risk. Now, however, new research suggests that those bacteria may not be all bad -- they could help prevent the development of childhood asthma.
Writing in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, the scientists report that children between the ages of 3 and 13 are nearly 59 percent less likely to have asthma if they have the bacterium in their gut. The children were also 40 percent less likely to have hay fever and associated allergies such as eczema or rash. The cause for the link isn't exactly clear, though the researchers believe that people with the bacteria have more immune cells called regulatory T cells. They say that the surplus cells prevent the immune system from overreacting to allergens, which can trigger asthma and allergies like hay fever. We'll talk with one of the researchers on the project about the work and what it means.

Comments about prAna Belay Insulator Jacket (Men's):
Great jacket to hang out in town, (rather than to belay your partner). It's very warm and light and I like the style very much but it sizes a bit small, especially fi you have large shoulders. So don't plan to wear it with thick layers under unless you get a size up.
