CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators is expected to vote Monday on whether to proceed with a smoking prohibition on its property.
I think we ought to have a policy on no smoking, said Legislator Scott M. Sutherland, R-Pierrepont. Many see it as a test for personal rights, but its a huge health concern for our residents. Were not looking for new things to regulate, but smoking is bad for people.
The county ranks 58 out of 62 in state health rankings. It has a tobacco use rate of 27 percent compared with the state rate of 19 percent, said Benjamin R. Todd, county tobacco program coordinator.
The issue is the countys business because smoking, secondhand smoke and smokeless tobacco and the diseases associated with them are a strain on health care and the amount of money the county spends on Medicaid, Mr. Sutherland said.
If legislators approve, the county Board of Health would write a law that would prohibit tobacco use on all real property owned or leased by the county. The law then would come back to the Legislature for approval.
Legislative Chairwoman Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk, said she is not among those supporting the law.
I really have a problem when they say someone cant smoke in their own car. It has to do with my belief in individual rights, she said. The plan is going to come back to the board. Maybe itll go through. Maybe it wont.
Only five other counties in the state have adopted laws prohibiting smoking on their property, Mrs. Brothers said.
Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, said he became convinced of the rightness of the prohibition during the debate at a recent committee meeting.
A lot of other places dont allow it on the property, he said. Smoking is about the worst thing you can do to yourself. Its something to try to provide discouragement.
Inmates at the county jail have not been allowed to smoke since 2001, although the staff has been able to smoke outside on the grounds.
How the new policy would be enforced and whether there would be penalties have not been worked out yet.
Mrs. Brothers said she did not like the idea of anyone being turned in if they were seen smoking.
Mr. MacKinnon said that he did not think enforcement would be a big factor but that a prohibition instead would act more as a way to change attitudes.

A state appellate court has again denied a former Watertown mans bid to appeal his double-murder conviction.
In a decision released Friday, the state Appellate Division, Fourth Department, denied Edundabira O. Ojos motion for writ of error coram nobis in which he claims mistakes were made at his February 2006 Jefferson County Court trial that resulted in his conviction on two counts of second-degree murder.
Ojo, 38, is serving a life sentence without possibility of parole at Attica Correctional Facility for stabbing to death sisters Kelly M. Exford, 22, and Shannon M. St. Croix, 24, at an apartment at 735 Cooper St. on April 1, 2005.
The appellate court did not elaborate on its reasons for denying Ojos latest petition, although the granting of such petitions is considered rare. Ojo previously had filed a motion claiming, among other things, that his appellate attorney failed to raise several alleged errors made by County Court in his case, exhibiting professional standards that fell below acceptable levels. The Appellate Division had affirmed the County Court judgment and sentence in a 2007 ruling, but Ojo filed a motion related to his appellate attorneys actions, with the appellate court rejecting the motion, without further elaboration, in October.
Ojo still has a motion for a writ of habeas corpus pending in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, in which he is challenging whether he is being legally incarcerated. That motion contains allegations similar to those made to the appellate court.

On Oct. 2 the United States Senate voted to support an amendment by Utah Senator Bob Bennett that will expedite a plan by the United States Department of Energy to move uranium tailings in Grand County away from the Colorado River.
Bennett said he believed that the cleanup could be done by 2019 and that the amendment requires the secretary of energy to do just that. The amendment was included in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008.
The amended plan was put forth by Bennett due to the length of time allowed for the DOE's original bill.

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Longby T Colin Campbell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. Change your diet and dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
By any measure, America's health is failing. We spend far more, per capita, on health care than any other society in the world, and yet two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and more than 15 million Americans have diabetes. We fall prey to heart disease as often as we did thirty years ago. The War on Cancer, launched in the 1970s, has been a miserable failure. Half of all Americans have a health problem that requires taking a prescription drug every week, and more than 100 million Americans have high cholesterol.
To make matters worse, we are leading our youth down a path of disease earlier and earlier in their lives. One-third of children in this country are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Our kids are increasingly falling prey to a form of diabetes that use to be seen only in adults, and children now take more prescription drugs than ever before.
These issues all come down to three things: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The China Study presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation: if you want to be healthy, change your diet.
Even today, as trendy diets and a weight-loss frenzy sweep the nation, two-thirds of adults are still obese and children are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, typically an "adult" disease, at an alarming rate. If were obsessed with being thin more so than ever before, why are Americans stricken with heart disease as much as we were 30 years ago?
In The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell details the connection between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The report also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by powerful lobbies, government entities, and opportunistic scientists. The New York Times has recognized the study as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" and the "most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease."
The China Study is not a diet book. Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze of misinformation and delivers an insightful message to anyone living with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and those concerned with the effects of aging.
[This book is also available in Spanish, El Estudio de China.]
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
One of the perks to living in Utah, particularly rural Utah, is the ability to get away from civilization and to isolate yourself if you want to.
In the late 1980s I moved from Sandy to take a job in Irvine, Calif. Orange County is a beautiful place, and it seemed I was embarking on a new adventure, one that would define new horizons for me.
I was hired to be the editor of a trade/business magazine, and worked for a wonderful small family owned company. No one had ever treated me better than they did.
I got quite a raise in salary over what I had been making in Salt Lake and it seemed great days were ahead.
But they weren't.
I was unhappy. Living amongst the 20 million or so people that inhabit that region just wasn't for me. The people were fine; the job was great; the things to do on my off work time were tremendous.
And my wife loved it there.
But there was one thing I couldn't stand. No matter where I went, no matter what I did, I couldn't get away from people.
Travel to the mountains and there were people. Travel to the beach, there were people. Even going 150 miles away to the desert, there were people.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with people. but sometimes isolation is good. And I could never find it. I felt hemmed in. I felt trapped. The only time I felt completely good was when I came back to Utah. The minute I crossed that border and into Washington county in my car, I could feel the crush go away.
I realize it was my problem, not California's. Just the same it was a problem. Living there for the that period of time taught me how much I like isolation. So about once a year, I try to take one of my dogs, and spend three to four days camping alone in an isolated place in the middle of the spring.
Usually the weather is lousy. When I went on my yearly trek the last time, it was cold, snowed a little, rained some and blew most of the time. Yet that four days I was in the Swell really was satisfying. I rode about 120 miles on my ATV, hiked between eight and 10 miles, played frisbee with my Border Collie three to four times a day, read two books and put together a small but complicated puzzle. I ate the way I wanted (and when I wanted) sat in the snow in a lawn chair while the wind whirled around me, got dirty and grubby, didn't shave the whole time I was there and went to bed early and rose late.
For some this wouldn't be fun; but for me it was great. To each his own.
Being alone, not having the daily pressures of job or responsibilities for a few days makes me a better person. It has always made me appreciate my wife, my friends and my work mates more. What they do for me is immeasurable.
Yet there is something about being alone, with one of my dogs that changes me, brings me back into line with what I really am, not what I have to be to get through the modern world.
There is also something good about running your life without much help.
This last weekend a friend of mine said she would be concerned about being alone like that. She said "What if something happened? What if you fell off your four wheeler? What if you fell while you were hiking and got hurt? What if you had a heart attack?"
She's right. The story of the woman from Maine down by Hell's Backbone south of Boulder this past week brings the truth of this story to light. She hiked without telling anyone where she was going and broke her leg. Luckily they traced her because she left a car rental agreement in her motel room and when she didn't return, the owners informed authorities who searched for and found her.
But if you consider what could happen all the time, what would life be? There are all kinds of ifs out there. Call me fatalistic, but I have found in my life when I am responsible for myself, with no one around me, I make much better judgements about what I should try and shouldn't. But things can still happen.
You also learn lessons from close calls. One particular event has influenced me for years.
In the 1990s, shortly after I moved to Carbon County, I climbed down on a ledge near The Wedge to get a better view of a side canyon. The rock outcropping I was standing on was slanted toward the canyon, which had at least a 500 foot drop off. I stood there and admired the view. When I turned around I noticed that the ledge above that I had climbed down, the one that seemed so innocuous, was suddenly much steeper than I thought going back up. The rock I had to grab onto was also the kind of shale that comes apart in your hands when you grab it. I looked around. There was no other way off that ledge. Trying to climb up that unstable rock could have resulted in me going over the lip of the ledge should I fall. While I had a back pack, what I had in it as far as water and food was minimal. My vehicle was less that three hundred yards away, but I couldn't see it. At the time I also doubted if someone standing by it, could have seen me or heard me either.
I was stuck. As the sun began to move very far west the shadows against the opposing cliffs showed the images of the trees above the ledge. There was no way I could sleep on that ledge when night came. It was slanted enough that I would have rolled off in my sleep. I started to get scared.
Then as the sun started to die, in the west, I could hear a vehicle approaching. I heard it stop and some doors to a car slam. I began to call out. Soon above me were two young men looking down on my precarious perch.
"This looks bad, " said one of them. "How long you been down there."
"About three hours," I said.
One of them had a rope and tied it to a juniper tree. He threw it to me and between grabbing the rope and helping hands from the two 20 somethings I was able to get out of my hole. I didn't know how to thank them because who knows what would have happened if they hadn't come along. Afterward they told me they were touring the area and were environmentalists studying the effects of human impact on the Swell.
I didn't tell them I was a dirt biker and opposed to land closures in many of the areas where environmental groups want to shut off land to motorized use. They had rescued me from uncertainty. In my situation, I was glad they were out looking around. Who could complain?
In the years since I have enjoyed my isolation trips, but I have been much more careful about what I do and what I tackle. The old adage about looking before you leap, is truer than ever.
And for this old guy, it is a rule to live by.

For tastemakers living in Los Angeles, Satine has long served as a sartorial haven, stocking an edited selection of designer brands like Isabel Marant and Preen alongside coveted indie labels such as Tsumori Chisato and Rue Du Mail. So it's hardly surprising that founder Jeannie Lee and creative director Kelly Sawyer Patricof, who teamed up to create the boutique's private line, have a sharp eye for what stylesetters want--and need--right now! The duo's latest collection includes everyday essentials updated with relaxed silhouettes and thoughtful details; each piece possesses an insouciant flair that speaks to an easy-breezy Southern California lifestyle. Peruse the following must-have items from this Line We Love, then make sure to check out Lee and Sawyer Patricof's exclusive Q&A!
Freya Sweatshirt ($245, 323.655.2142) in Sand (available at Satine on April 17)
A supremely comfortable sweater is one of those basics you never knew you needed--until you bought one, that is. We have a hunch you'll want to sport this lightly distressed sweatshirt everywhere, especially since its pale hue, a mix of creamy oatmeal and heather gray, matches everything. The scoop-neck pullover is perfect for cooler spring and summer evenings too, and will mix well with your Marant staples (we're thinking a floral skirt and ankle boots!)
Athena Dress ($695, 323.655.2142) in Navy (available at Satine on April 17)
We're a sucker for lace, and the Athena Dress' subtle inserts have completely sold us on this pretty, navy-colored number. The frock exudes a vibe both elegant (demure long sleeves and a flared skirt) and slightly provocative (skin-baring lace panels running down the sides), resulting in a party-perfect look.
Blake Top ($395, 323.655.2142) in White/Black (available at Satine on April 17)
Every style savant should own a basic white button-down, designed to easily transition from the boardroom to after-hours drinks with friends. Satine's Blake Top is simply a cooler, warm-weather version of that; the sleeveless shirt has a ruffled neckline and an elongated hem at the back, two subtle elements that lend elegance without appearing over the top.
Katherine Blazer ($495, 323.655.2142) in Sky (available at Satine on April 17)
You'll likely want to add a burst of color to your wardrobe this season, and we think the teal Katherine Blazer is a versatile pick! Paired with a dark sheath dress and sleek pumps, the no-frills blazer channels bold sophistication in the workplace, but it looks equally stylish for a more casual setting when teamed with a floaty blouse and skinny jeans.
Lucy Pants ($325, 323.655.2142) in White./Black (available at Satine on April 17)
Consider the Lucy Pants your new must-buy trousers of the season! Instead of opting for basic black, brown, or gray--the standard colors most women already own--try this crisp white pair for a fresh look. As a bonus, the pants incorporate a touch of color-blocking with solid black hems, and as you know, you can never go wrong with a color palette as chic as basic black and white.--Tiffany Tse
Q&A with Jeannie Lee and Kelly Sawyer Patricof
What inspired the start of your design career?
JL: Having been a store owner for 8 years, I have figured out there are things that are really hard to find. Kelly and I have deep, philosophical discussions about it, which sounds crazy, but we don't understand how we see so many great pieces from the best collections in the world, yet at the end of the day there are still things missing that every girl needs. On our constant want list are slouchy blazers, great pants, and easy dresses, all made with the highest quality fabrics and developed to fit perfectly.
KSP: I've always been obsessed with fashion and clothing, and being a model just enforced that even more. Being surrounded by creative, passionate people who were as excited by clothes as I was certainly helped!
What was the inspiration behind this season's collection?
JL: I've always been inspired by street fashion in Tokyo and Paris; not the kind you see during Fashion Week, but regular girls with insane style who have mastered the art of putting unlikely-yet-it-looks-genius pieces together. No matter what city she lives in, that's the customer we are designing for.
KSP: Jeannie and I get inspiration from so many things, from traveling to buildings. It really can be anything that catches our eye and makes us think. We are constantly sending each other pictures of things that inspire us and spark something inside us that we then translate into pieces for the season. The inspiration for our S/S 12 print, for example, came from a photo I saw of a building in Hong Kong.
How would you style specific pieces from this collection? Do you have a favorite piece in the collection?
KSP: I like to bring down the dressy pieces, like the column pants, with our black linen t-shirt and a leather biker jacket, and dress up the tees and tanks with a pencil skirt and heels. I love the laid-back style the girls in LA have, and we take our cues from them. Not every piece has to match and be part of a whole outfit; the mixing and matching with other pieces in a girl's wardrobe is what makes for personal style and that's what we are designing for our girls. Our goal is to give the customer that perfect basic each season they can wear time and time again with any look-last season it was our linen t-shirt, this season it's our distressed sweatshirt that I'm already planning all my outfits around!
What kind of girl do you envision wearing your clothing?
JL: The kind of girl who wears Satine is the girl who knows how to wear fashion and interpret it in her own way. She would wear a Nina Ricci tulle ballerina skirt with a distressed sweatshirt and is the best-dressed girl in the room. She's never too serious or calculated, but her instincts and confidence make her look amazing no matter what she's wearing.
How does your design process for a collection start?
KSP: Jeannie and I sit down together and talk out ideas, bring inspiration photos and concepts and think about what we would want to wear for the season. With Jeannie as a store owner, she really knows what customers want and brings that to the table, whereas I bring the shopper's mentality to the collection; my first thought is always: would I want to buy it, would I wear it, or if not, can I picture someone I know wearing it?

Street Cleaning
The street cleaning service provides regular mechanical and manual sweeping of all adopted roads on a scheduled basis.
Every road is usually swept either daily, weekly, fortnightly or four weekly, depending on the usage of the road. Obviously busy high streets will need to be swept much more regularly than quiet residential roads. Very busy shopping areas, such as the City Centre, are swept continuously throughout the day, seven days a week.
Manual sweepers remove litter and rubbish from the pavements and grass verges. They also remove larger items of litter from the gutters. Mechanical sweepers are used to clean the gutters and roadways. On street litter bins are emptied regularly.
To report a problem with an overflowing drain please click on the link to the Flooding and Drainage on Pavements and Roads page.

Can anyone help me with this whole thing: Why exactly would Cruz sign the Giants offer before the 19th, when offers from other teams are still an option?
He can't get hurt by not getting an offer, and he can be helped if there is one.
Unless the Giants said the offer had a sunset, why would he not just wait and see what develops? If nothing comes up, move on and sign (or don't), but I don't see why he would sign anything now, even if he was happy with it.
Am I wrong here?
"I was disappointed that Eli did not lead his team in that brawl. I'm not saying I would have completely lost respect for him as a leader if I were on the squad but that kind of suspect behavior would definitely have me eyeing him sideways"...elitikistrahan

Burning Questions
In this edition of Burning Questions, we sat down with the Fire's second year midfielder/defender Tony Walls. Hailing from Wauwatosa, Wis., Tony was selected in the third round of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft after an impressive collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he scored 18 goals and added 11 assists over 75 appearances.
The former Fire PDL player was one of only four players to start all 10 of the Fire's 2012 MLS Reserve League matches and featured in both of the Fire's international friendlies in 2012 against the English Premier League's Aston Villa FC and Liga MX side Club Santos Laguna. Tony recently took the time to answer our Burning Questions about the Walls family soccer dynasty, life in the rookie crib and his impeccable fashion sense.
Always on the Inside: Your sister Cara plays soccer at the University of Wisconsin. How do you feel about her following in your footsteps and how often do you get to see her play?
Tony Walls: It makes me really proud. I try to go up as often as I can. I think I caught about three games last year. She's doing really well. Last season they received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament and she got second team All-Big Ten with 10 goals, so it makes me really proud to see my little sibling doing well.
AOTI: Last season you lived with fellow rookies Hunter Jumper and Austin Berry. Did you all split the housework? Did you have a chore chart?
TW: We split it, but we didn't have a chore chart. If something needed to be done, we just did it. We weren't too messy, we are all pretty reasonable. They were good roommates. They were respectful of my belongings and they're good guys, so we got along really well so it was a good situation.
AOTI: You cut off your 'dreads. What went into the decision to make the change and how long had you been considering it?
TW: I had been considering it for about three weeks. I went back to visit school and an old teammate cuts my hair, and I just thought it was time. They were too high maintenance and I had them for about four years so I figured I could use the change.
AOTI: How does it feel?
TW: It's a little cold. I have to get my winter hat selection out.
AOTI: Last book you read in its entirety?
TW: It's called "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai. I would recommend it. It's good.
AOTI: Current celebrity crush?
TW: Alex Morgan.
AOTI: What fashion trend did you rock back in the day that you'd be embarrassed to wear now?
TW: Nothing. I've always been fashionable.
AOTI: What was the best part of being a Fire rookie?
TW: I think the team in general is a pretty tight-knit group. The older guys are really professional but at the same time they actually care about us as people, and we get along very well.
AOTI: [Tony was rockin' a UVA soccer shirt during the interview] You and Hunter recently traded T-shirts. Was it a two-way trade or was it a three-way trade with Austin? How did it go down?
TW: It was just the two of us. I think Austin was out of time at the time but we're definitely going to have to get him involved. I think I just said, "Yo, you want to trade T-shirts? I'll give you one of my Green Bay ones for one of your Virginia ones," and Hunter said, "Sure."
In this edition of Burning Questions, we sat down with Fire left back Gonzalo Segares. A native of San Jose, Costa Rica, Gonzalo has been capped 19 times for Los Ticos. The club's Defender of the Year in 2007, Gonzalo returns in 2013 for his ninth season with the Men in Red. The newlywed took the time to answer our Burning Questions about wedding themed movies, his infamous sweet tooth and the worst actor in Hollywood.
Always on the Inside: You got married this past December. What is the best movie that features a wedding: "Wedding Crashers", "The Wedding Singer", "The Hangover" or "Bridesmaids"?
Gonzalo Segares: Definitely the first "Hangover".
Gonzalo and Rusti married December 15
AOTI: It's pretty well documented that you're a fan of baked goods. If you could only choose to have one pastry for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
GS: Can it be chocolate? Chocolate bars. Like Crunch, Kit Kat or Snickers. I like chocolate with stuff in it, especially almonds or any kind of nut, except for peanuts.
AOTI: What do you miss most about Costa Rica?
GS: The weather. I love it here in Chicago during the summer but in the winter, I just hate the cold weather. Back home we only have two seasons, which is summer and winter, and the winter is only rainy. The temperature doesn't change that much. The average is usually in the 70s or 80s.
AOTI: How often do you use the phrase "pura vida?"
GS: I use it a lot if I'm talking to Costa Ricans when I'm home. I don't use it that often in Chicago because when the guys speak Spanish, it's not part of their slang.
AOTI: You attended Virginia Commonwealth University with current Fire teammate Dominic Oduro. What's one thing that people don't know about Dom?
GS: He was very, very, very shy. And now all of a sudden, he's not shy.
AOTI: Do you have any phobias?
GS: When it starts shaking on the plane, I definitely get nervous.
Gonzalo's not a fan of John C. Reilly
AOTI: Who is the worst actor in Hollywood?
GS: There are a lot of them. I would say maybe the guy that's in movies with Will Ferrell. He usually has a mustache. He's in the cartoon movie where he doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore, "Wreck it Ralph". In "Talladega Nights" he's the friend and he's also in "Step Brothers" with Will Ferrell. I think he's very, very bad.
Editors Note: As Gonzalo provides very good clues, we have deducted that he is referring to John C. Reilly.
AOTI: You can invite any three people to dinner. Who receives an exclusive invitation?
GS: I would definitely invite Messi. And also Michael Jordan and President Obama.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with Italian goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi. The former Inter Milan youth product earned a spot on the Fire roster after impressing the technical staff during preseason and started the first three games of the 2012, posting a shutout while helping the team to a 1-1-1 record. Prior to heading back for offseason in Milan, Paolo took the time to answer our Burning Questions about the worst American fashion trend, the best Italian restaurants in Chicago and his favorite MLS away city.
Always on the Inside: Favorite thing to do in the summer here in Chicago?
Paolo Tornaghi: It's nice in the summer to go to the lake and the beach. I like to ride my bike on the bike path from Navy Pier to North Beach.
AOTI: Have you checked out any of the Italian restaurants here in Chicago? What's the best one and how does it compare?
PT: There are a couple. One is Prosecco and one is Marcello. It's like home.
AOTI: Do you cook? If so, what is your specialty?
PT: Not too much but I do cook. The easiest is pasta.
AOTI: You're from Milan, which is considered one of the fashion capitals of the world. What's your favorite place to shop?
PT: There's the coast of Vittorio Emanuele. It's a beautiful street with a lot of stores. It's not very, very expensive but it's nice.
AOTI: What is the worst American fashion trend?
PT: There are a lot but I think the shirts are too wide. They're not fitted to the body.
AOTI: Which of your teammates is the best and worst dressed?
PT: I think Pavel Pardo is the best, because he has the European style. I don't want to say a worst, I'm too respectful.
AOTI: You recently tweeted that you were having surgery on your finger. How's the new finger?
PT: It's heavier. There's a lot of iron inside.
AOTI: What's your favorite MLS away city that you visited this season?
PT: New York. It was my first time there. We went to Times Square and it was beautiful with all the lights.
In this edition of Burning Questions we caught up with Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson. In his third season with the Men in Red, Johnson posted career-high numbers. In 31 regular season games, Sean went 16-10-5, had five shutouts and recorded a career-low 1.24 goals against average. The Lilburn, Ga. native made 108 saves in 2012, including a career-high ten saves against the Earthquakes July 28.
Sean's play caught the eye of U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who recently called the Fire 'keeper in for a friendly against Russia on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 9:00 a.m. CT (ESPN2/ESPN3/Univision Deportes). Before heading east, Sean took the time to answer our burning questions about his prowess on the dance floor, his favorite Thanksgiving dish and which teammates he'd pick for a MLS basketball tournament.
Always on the Inside: There's another elite athlete with the same name as you, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, who was a "Dancing With the Stars" champion. Are you a good dancer and how do you think you'd do on the show?
Sean Johnson: I'd be fantastic. My dance moves are nice. I'm pretty sure I've been compared to Chris Brown.
AOTI: What's your favorite Thanksgiving food or tradition?
SJ: My mom makes a green bean casserole that is unbelievable.
AOTI: You lettered in basketball for three years at Brookwood High School. Can you still ball? Which of your current teammates would you choose if there is a MLS pickup basketball tournament?
SJ: Call me the Black Mamba. My starting five would be point guard, Corben [Bone]. Two guard, [Dan] Gargan. Three guard, we'll go Jalil [Anibaba]. I'd play the fourth spot, and maybe Austin [Berry] could play the five. Cory [Gibbs] can be the sixth man off the bench and [Soccer Operations Coordinator] Alex Boler could be the coach.
AOTI: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
SJ: I'd be able to fly.
AOTI: You're one of the best table tennis and FIFA players on the Fire roster. What's one random thing youwant to work on so that you can best your teammates?
Jalil Anibaba: He's No. 1 at everything.
SJ: I am THE best FIFA player on the team. In life my goal is to be No. 1 at everything I do.
AOTI: Main difference between Georgians and Chicagoans?
SJ: The pace of which they move. Chicago is so fast-paced that I feel like I'm being rushed by people in the city.
AOTI: Who plays you in the Sean Johnson movie?
SJ: Denzel Washington.
AOTI: What was the last movie you watched in theaters? And if you're in a crowded theater, which armrests are yours?
SJ: The last movie I watched was "Argo." And both armrests are mine.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich. This season, Arne has commanded the rock solid Fire defense in 22 matches, holding opponents to 40 goals. A native of Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, Arne has been capped 82 times for Germany, helping Die Mannschaft to matching third place finishes in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups. Arne took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his newfound cooking skills, what music he prefers and how often he throws a handstand.
Always on the Inside: You often talk about how much you like Chicago. Is there something you haven't yet experienced?
Arne Friedrich: I've never been to a Bulls game. That's what I've missed so far. I'm hoping I can see a game when the new season starts. So for me, there is so much exciting stuff to do in Chicago and I just recommend people to come here and visit the town. Especially in Europe and German, nobody knows about Chicago that much. The city doesn't have the same reputation as New York, and it's fantastic.
AOTI: Is there anything that Chicagoans do differently?
AF: Not really; when I came here, I didn't expect that the city would be so clean. That was the first thing I noticed compared to New York because they're always rivals. The city is so clean and there are so many parks, we have trees, so much stuff going on during the summer. We have the beach and downtown. Everything you need.
AOTI: There is a video from the German Women's National Team's recent visit to Toyota Park in which you do a handstand. Do you often do handstands?
AF: This is very nice! It's good posture. I don't know why I did that. I guess it's the first time. I don't know, it was just a joke and everybody is watching me. Nice! It's not bad. I didn't know that I could do that.
AOTI: So do you do yoga?
AF: I did it in Germany. But I guess everyone can do that. It's a one-time thing.
AOTI: What are you going to be for Halloween?
AF: It's my first Halloween. We don't celebrate it in Germany, especially not in Berlin where I used to live. I'm absolutely excited. I saw that so many people dress their yard up and it looks so funny with the pumpkins and all the stuff. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing all the stuff.
AOTI: Are you planning on dressing up?
AF: I'm not sure, it depends on what my teammates are going to do. We're going to talk about that.
AOTI: The number 23 is a big deal in Chicago. Who is better, Michael Jordan at soccer or Arne Friedrich at basketball?
AF: We should come together and try to prove it because I don't know how he plays soccer. My basketball skills are, I don't know, maybe average. Definitely we should try it.
AOTI: You gave Austin Berry the nickname "Jerry Berry". Have you given anyone else a nickname? Do you have any nicknames yourself?
AF: I don't have any nicknames. It's always funny, I just call people something different. It's always funny but I don't want to tell that.
AOTI: In my Google search, I found that the ladies often refer to you as a prince. Do you know where that originated?
AF: What? No! Not even once! I've never seen that. Really? Wow. I didn't know that.
AOTI: Your favorite musical genres are Pop and R&B. Who are your top three musical artists?
AF: I like Eminem. Not his nature maybe but I like his music. There's so much good stuff. I usually like R&B. I like the group Hurts. And T.I., Papa Trey. There's so much nice stuff. Music is nice. It's good that we have music.
AOTI: What is your favorite food and what is your favorite restaurant?
AF: My favorite food is definitely the Italian cuisine. I also started to cook a little bit for myself. I'm a very bad cook, I have to concede that. But I just try to practice every day. Normally, two or three times a week, I go to Vapiano on Clark Street.
AOTI: What's the one thing you want to be good at cooking? Is there a specialty you want to have?
AF: Not really. My problem is that I don't work with spices. And this is the problem, it always tastes very plain. It might be healthy but it doesn't taste good.
AOTI: You have a time machine. Which era would you like to visit?
AF: I would like to go in the past when Jesus lived.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with blazingly fast Ghanaian striker Dominic Oduro. Oduro joined the Men in Red from the Houston Dynamo in March 2011, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Becoming the first Fire player since 2004 to hit double-digit goals in a season, Dominic was named the club's 2011 Most Valuable Player and also garnered Section 8 Chicago's 2011 Supporter's Player of the Year award. This year, Dominic has scored six goals and added three assists while appearing in 31 of the Fire's 32 matches. Dominic took the time to answer our Burning Questions about where he prefers to get his coffee, his favorite TV shows and which MLS player he would race to settle the "Fastest Man in MLS" debate.
Always on the Inside: You graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in Sociology. Why did you choose that major and what was the most interesting class you took in college?
Dominic Oduro: I chose that because I was making bad grades in Economics, so I had to take the easy path. I also loved the fact that it dealt with social life, and that is one of my interests so I decided to get into it. The most interesting class I took was Sociology of Religion. It taught me about religion and how people pursue it, and I thought it was really cool.
AOTI: Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks?
DO: Dunkin. I want Dunkin to call me right now. I've been trying to Tweet them; I need some promotion from them. My regular order is a medium coffee with cream and sugar. And I love strawberry cream cheese with a plain bagel.
AOTI: Any scouting report on you focuses on your blazing speed. Are you fast in other aspects of your life?
DO: I have a fast car. I'm just the slowest when it comes to walking. I have the slowest pace ever when it comes to walking.
Editor's Note: Dominic conducted the fastest interview in Burning Questions history with a time of 3 minutes and 56 seconds, blowing past his closest competitor, Hunter Jumper, who clocked in at 7 minutes and 2 seconds.
AOTI: What are you going to be for Halloween this year and what's the best costume you've ever had?
DO: I'm thinking about being a baby. I'll just put on a diaper and put a pacifier in my mouth, and just walk around like a baby. One time I was Morpheus from "The Matrix." I really killed that costume.
AOTI: What is one fashion trend you used to wear but would be embarrassed to wear now?
DO: I used to wear baggy jeans. Looking back at it now, I just shake my head and think, "Why was I wearing that?"
AOTI: You just discovered an island. What do you name it?
DO: Freaky Dom Island.
AOTI: If you could live in any TV show or movie, which one would you choose?
DO: "Fringe." It's one of my favorite shows. I love it.
AOTI: What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
DO: I'm very picky with my songs. I have one; I had Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" one time, and I was scratching my head as to why I put that on.
AOTI: What's a typical day like in the life of Dominic Oduro?
DO: I sit on my couch and watch TV all day.
AOTI: What TV shows do you like?
DO: I like "Two and a Half Men." I love that show. And "Fringe" and "Scandal." I really like that one.
AOTI: Who is the one MLS player that you would like to race to finally put the "Fastest Man in MLS" debate to bed?
DO: [Colorado Rapids defender] Marvell Wynne. Period. Just put everything to bed.
AOTI: If the opportunity ever presented itself, would you challenge Usain Bolt?
DO: I would want to race him for the fun of it. I know I'm going to lose, so I can't even think about beating Usain Bolt. But I would race him for the fun of it.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with rookie defender Austin Berry. Since being drafted in the first round ( 9th overall) of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, Austin has become a mainstay in the Chicago Fire defense, starting 26 consecutive matches for the Men in Red and scoring three goals along the way to help the Fire secure their first playoff berth since 2009. The Rookie of the Year front-runner from Cincinnati, Ohio, Austin was a standout at the University of Louisville where he helped the Cardinals to their first ever NCAA National Championship appearance in 2010. Austin took the time to answer our Burning Questions about Berry-themed nicknames, his prowess on the basketball court and the Berry family Halloween tradition.
Always on the Inside: What is the worst Berry themed nickname you've ever had?
Austin Berry: The current one that Arne [Friedrich] has given me, "Jerry Berry." The origin is unknown, so is the spelling.
AOTI: The Irish Harmonica champion is also named Austin Berry. Do you play any musical instruments?
Jake Bronowski, Massage Therapist: Is there a difference between a regular harmonica and an Irish harmonica?
AB: Maybe theirs goes up and down. Instead of left and right, they go up and down. But no, I don't play any instruments. Absolute no.
AOTI: You lettered in basketball from 2003-2005 at Summit Country Day. Can you still ball?
AB: I'm an awful basketball player. I just played for fun. I had no jump shot. I was a defensive specialist. I was in there for rebounds and defending. But I had fun. It was fun because my junior year, my last year, five of the starters from the soccer team were the five starters for the basketball team. It was something that I did personally to stay in shape between club soccer seasons.
AOTI: In an era of fluorescent cleats, you rock white ones on game days. Why is that?
AB: Those are the ones that have metal studs. And because it's classy.
AOTI: You haven't grown your goatee out in a while. Are you mellowing as you get older?
AB: I can't really grown facial hair. The goatee takes me a good four weeks before it actually comes in and it's not even a good one at that. So when it comes out, it's just me being too lazy to shave for a month.
AOTI: What are you going to be for Halloween this year?
AB: I'm not big on dressing up, I'm just big on candy. As long as I get enough candy, I don't need to celebrate it. I love candy. Mambas and Shock Tarts are my favorite.
AOTI: What's the best Halloween costume you've ever had?
AB: I know the worst ever Halloween costume is my parents had a tradition of dressing their kids up as a purple grape and attaching a bunch of purple balloons to you so you were a grape. That was always one of our Halloween costumes and it was awful. At a certain age, we all had our purple grape stage. It was young, before we could make decisions for ourselves.
AOTI: What do you make for dinner if you're looking to impress Martha Stewart who is stopping by the rookie crib?
AB: If I was impressing her, I would order delivery, put it in the oven then take it out. But I like making Teriyaki salmon with stir fry.
AOTI: What's the theme song for the "Austin Berry: Rookie Year" reality show?
AB: "Sail" by AWOLNATION.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with forward Sherjill MacDonald. Since joining the Fire on July 24, the Dutch striker has scored two goals and tallied three assists, helping set up a battle for first place against Sporting Kansas City on Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. CT on the NBC Sports Network. Sherjill took the time to answer our Burning Questions about how he spends his time in Chicago, the difference between European and American fashion and just how many people mispronounce his name.
Always on the Inside: You've been in Chicago now for a few months. How are you liking it?
Sherjill MacDonald: I love it. I love the restaurants; my favorite of the moment is an Italian restaurant called Scoozi! It's close to my house so I go there a lot. I've been to the Hancock Center and eaten upstairs on the 95th floor, so that was fantastic. I have an apartment in River North. I love it. It's a quiet neighborhood, it's nice for dogs, so I like to walk the dog. It seems like a dog-friendly neighborhood.
WATCH: MacDonald equalizes vs. Montreal
AOTI: What kind of dog do you have?
SM: She is a Chihuahua mixed with a French Bulldog. Her name is Nala, from the Lion King.
AOTI: You're pretty active on Twitter. What do you like about it?
SM: I like to talk to the fans. The last game I traded a fan that had made a banner for me with a jersey, so I like to do those kind of things. Sometimes I give away shoes to the fans; it helps to keep in touch with the fans.
AOTI: You're a pretty stylish guy. What is the main difference between European and American fashion style?
SM: I've noticed that everybody wears running shoes, like downtown, so now I also do it. I think it's an American thing because the distances are a little bit further. I've sometimes seen people wear suits with running shoes. It's a lot of people.
AOTI: Who do you think are the best and worst dressed guys on the team?
SM: I like everybody's style. It's difficult to see in football because when you come to training, you dress comfortably.
Editor's Note: During the interview, Daniel Paladini declared that Hunter Jumper was the worst dressed player on the team because he favors Polo Ralph Lauren. This editor does not agree with the views and statements of Daniel Paladini.
AOTI: What percentage of people in Chicago mispronounce your name and what's the worst pronunciation you've heard?
SM: I think 80-85 percent. The worst I've heard is "Sheryl," like the girls name.
AOTI: What do you like to do on a typical day off?
SM: Normal things. I like to go into the city with my girlfriend, do a little shopping. I like to walk the dog. Sometimes we stay outside for two hours walking the dog, especially when there is good weather. We like to enjoy the weather.
I also watch all kinds of television series and all kinds of movies. I watch a lot of movies; sometimes I watch like five movies a day. I'm a movie freak. "Gladiator" is one of my favorites.
AOTI: Who is your roommate on the road?
SM: Last time it was Wells Thompson. He's a very good roommate. He sleeps very early but it's good for me. It was a good example for me so I also sleep early. He's a nice guy, a very gentle guy so I like him.
AOTI: One of the things that has helped endear you to fans is your passion on the field. Is your on-field persona similar to your off-field persona?
SM: Off the field I'm not emotional, not the same as on the field but sometimes I have to keep my emotions more to myself. I just have to control them sometimes on the pitch. I'm working on it; some people like it, some people don't like it. Personally I don't like it. I have to be more focused.
AOTI: FIFA 13 was recently released. Which team and difficulty level do you usually use? If we had a team FIFA 13 tournament, where would you rank?
SM: I love FIFA. I'm going to get it. I play with Chelsea on the highest difficulty level. I think I would be maybe first or second on the team. Sean [Johnson] would maybe be first. Sean is very good.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with defender Jalil Anibaba. Now in his second season with the Fire, Jalil has put together a solid sophomore season, starting 26 of his 27 appearances. An integral part of a solid Fire defense, he has also contributed on the offensive side, scoring one goal and adding one assist. A native of Davis, Calif., Jalil was selected ninth overall in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Jalil took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his hidden talents, his favorite birthday memory and what it's like to own canaries.
Always on the Inside: You were named the Gatorade California Player of the Year for Soccer in 2006-07. What's your favorite Gatorade flavor?
Jalil Anibaba: Probably Glacier Freeze. Light blue.
AOTI: What is the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
JA: Probably a song of myself. I wouldn't say I sing a lot but it's a hobby of mine.
AOTI: Are you going to make us a mix tape?
JA: No. Definitely not. That's why it's one of the most embarrassing things on my iPod.
AOTI: Who plays Jalil Anibaba in the Jalil Anibaba movie?
JA: Probably one of my brothers because they know me so well, they'd be able to portray my character in the best light.
AOTI: Your brother Jammil and yourself look remarkably alike. How often do people confuse the two of you and have you ever used your similar looks to trick people?
JA: We've never used our similar looks to deceive people on purpose. In Chicago we get confused for each other pretty often. It happens a lot up in the Stadium Club after games but it's great having my brother here for support. It's awesome.
AOTI: Your birthday, which is on October 19, is almost exactly one month away. What's your favorite birthday memory?
JA: I would say being back in Davis when I was younger, in my teenage years and before that. My birthdays were always special because they were times when the whole family was together. My grandmother would always come and make my favorite cake, Lemon Pound Cake. We would just have dinner together, so they were great times and great experiences.
AOTI: Last year you put together a very solid rookie season, starting 27 of 29 matches and registering three goals (one of which became the team's Goal of the Year) and one assist. This year the Fire have another rookie defender, Austin Berry, who is putting together similar numbers. Do you consider him your protégé and have you ever called him Jalil Jr.? What do you think of him following in your footsteps?
JA: No, I definitely don't think of Austin as a Jalil protégé. Simply because I'm still a young player and I'm still trying to prove myself day in and day out. I think Austin has done a tremendous job learning on the curve, and that's part of being a rookie. His future is definitely bright.
AOTI: What's a typical day like in the life of Jalil Anibaba?
JA: I wake up for training, come to the stadium in the morning, and put in my day's work as far as my profession is concerned.
Once I leave the stadium, the day is pretty slow. I like to get a nap in after training and then pretty much after the nap, it's all about getting ready for the next day, so eating well, resting, watching either a movie or a couple of TV shows and just being ready for the next day.
AOTI: What TV shows do you like?
JA: There are a couple series that I've been intrigued with lately. I'm happy that season five of "Sons of Anarchy" started again; that's one of my top choices. I was into "Damages" but that show is done now. I'm a big fan of "Suits." With time on my hands I like to indulge in different TV series to entertain myself.
Reality TV is something that me and my brother and some of my friends like to get into. We watch "Love & Hip Hop" and "The Voice" to keep things light hearted."
AOTI: Do you have any hidden talents?
JA: When I was young I used to skateboard and I used to yo-yo. I'm a little rusty but maybe I could still do some tricks.
AOTI: Your dad raises canaries. What's the most interesting thing about canaries?
JA: What's interesting about them is that the males sing, and they sing beautifully. If you're ever to come to my house back in Davis, you'll definitely hear birds singing, and it's a great, great sound.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with midfielder Patrick Nyarko. Now in his fifth season with the Fire, Patrick has scored three goals and leads the team with six assists. A native of Kumasi, Ghana, Patrick was a standout at Virginia Tech before he was drafted in the first round (7th overall) of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. Patrick took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his table tennis prowess, his sneaker collection and what a typical day entails for him.
Always on the Inside: You're often regarded as one of the best table tennis players on the team. How did you get to be so good?
Patrick Nyarko: I put in the work while I was growing up. It was such that if you played a game, it was a commercial table tennis table, so you had to pay if you lost; you didn't want to waste your lunch money. So you had to win by all means. If you didn't get good you were going to lose all of your money.
WATCH: Nyarko Scores in the 1st minute vs. HOU
AOTI: Your bio in the media guide says your favorite thing to eat is soup. What kind of soup and where's the best place to find it in Chicago?
PN: Peanut Butter soup. I've not found the best in Chicago. For really authentic soup you have to go back to Ghana so I haven't really found anything close. I don't really eat it. I don't want to offend my mom.
AOTI: One of your strengths as a player is your speed. Are you fast in other aspects of life?
PN: I do eat pretty quickly. I've been in cars with some pretty crazy drivers like Dominic [Oduro], and I don't think I drive as fast as him but I don't like to drive slow.
I like to get things done quickly, if I have to. If you go in my apartment it's really not clean because I don't have to because I live alone, but if I actually have to I'll get it done quickly.
AOTI: As a professional athlete you have a bit of a non-traditional schedule. What's a typical day like for you after you leave Toyota Park?
PN: Once I go sit on my couch I'm stuck for the rest of the day. If I have to run errands and stuff I do it all before I go home. Even if it takes six hours, I'd like to get it done before I sit on the couch. I don't know what's wrong with the couch or where it came from, but I just cannot get off of it.
I usually watch a little TV, catch up on shows and world news. I like Tyler Perry shows like "Meet the Browns" and "House of Payne." And I love "Two and a Half Men." I've started watching every season.
AOTI: Are there other soccer teams or leagues that you follow?
PN: I'm a huge fan of Manchester United. I don't miss an EPL game if I don't have to. I'm really not huge into other leagues. I'll watch Barcelona and I'll watch Real Madrid play but I don't watch the Italian league or Bundesliga. It's very limited. I love the EPL.
AOTI: You're a bit of a sneaker head. What got you interested in shoes and what's your favorite pair that you own?
PN: As a kid I always loved sneakers but growing up in Africa we weren't that well-off to get enough sneakers. I had one pair per year. When I came to the States for school and I got two pairs in college, it was like Christmas for me. I signed with adidas and I started getting all these sneakers. The love of sneakers grew after I signed with them. They make some great shoes.
The best pair I have are from adidas; they're called Ransoms.
AOTI: You currently have three goals on the season. This is only your second multi-goal season after 2009 in which you scored four goals. To what do you attribute your offensive output this season?
PN: I think I've always had adequate offensive production, not in terms of goals but I led the team in assists for the last couple of years. I think this year I'm more comfortable. I've been working a lot with the coaching staff in terms of confidence in front of the goal and stuff like that. I know I still have a ways to go but I'm happy it's imporving and hopefully by the end of the year I can have a couple more goals.
AOTI: Do you have any pre-game rituals?
PN: Not really. I just show up and I'm good to go.
AOTI: What is the best advice you have ever received?
PN: Always persevere. If you try once and you don't succeed that doesn't mean it's the end. Just keep persisting. I'm very persistent in more ways than one.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- There was only one new DC Councilmember sworn in today. He's David Grosso, a Democrat-turned-Independent, who knocked off Michael Brown, another Democrat who became an Independent, to win the seat reserved for a non-Democrat.
Turns out (if you're still following this) that Michael Brown announced today that he's a Democrat again and running for DC Council again--in a special election in April to fill the seat vacated by Phil Mendelson, who is now Chairman.
You still there? Mendelson was appointed, then elected, Chairman to fill the position left vacant when then-Chairman Kwame Brownwas forced out of officeby federal prosecutors.
They were investigating Brown's past campaign when they discovered that he had doctored an application for a personal bank loan to purchase a new boat.
Bank fraud, turns out is a felony, even though the judge pointed out that Industrial Bank suffered no loss and the loan was repaid.
Kwame Brown was looking attrial and prison if convicted so he took the deal, which was to give up the office and serve his time at home with a curfew and electronic ankle bracelet.
Back to David Grosso. He lives in Ward 5 and worked for former Councilmember Sharon Ambrose and DC Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.
He says getting theDC Community College up and running is his first priority. Grosso went to a community college before finishing up with a law degree.
It was a small swearing in gathering at the Washington Convention center. Maybe 200 people. I was honored to be the Master of Ceremonies and quite satisfied that everybody--all six DC Council members-- were swornin before the noon deadline.
Also conspicuouslyabsent was the once-gregarious Ward 5 Councilman, Harry Thomas, Jr.
Thomas was also forced to give up hisseat following a criminalinvestigation last year. He's currently doing time in a federal prison down south for stealing huge sums that should have gone toyouth programs.
Ward 5 has rebounded nicely since Harry Thomas Junior. The Ward has more clout on the new DC Council that any area of the District.
In addition to at large member Grosso, the Ward is represented by another at large legislator, Vincent Orange; the interim Phil Mendelson replacement Anita Bonds lives in the ward andthere is Kenyan McDuffie, the runaway winner of the election last year to replace Harry Thomas Junior as the ward 5 Councilmember.
Other DC Council memberswho were sworn in today--Marion Barry, Ward 8 who wont say if its his last term;Jack Evans Ward 2, Muriel Bowsewr Ward 4,Yvette AlexanderWard 7 and Vincent Orange, At Large..
Bowser and Evans want to be Mayor in two years. One can't count Vincent Orange out to seek the office as well.

Taking A Quick Look at the Defense as the Islanders Re-Sign Ty Wishart
Last night the Islanders re-signed defender Ty Wishart to a one-year, two-way deal. The 24-year old Wishart spent all of last year in the AHL aside from one game and was the fourth call up for the Islanders. He fell behind fellow Sound Tigers Calvin de Haan, Matt Donovan and Aaron Ness on the list of callups. It's looking like Wishart may never crack the NHL, now with a whole lot of just drafted defensive talent waiting in the wings (but that should put all the Isles defense prospects on notice). Nonetheless, even if his shot at the big league is fading fast Wishart is helpful in Bridgeport logging significant minutes over 71 games last season.
This gives us as good a spot as any to stop and look at what the Islanders' defensive depth looks like coming into next season. Entering the off-season the team only had three NHL defenders signed to contracts (Streit, Hamonic, AMac). That left a lot of room for maneuvering if the team wanted to go in a different direction. Almost three weeks removed from the draft and the start of free agency, things do look a bit different. Here's what the NHL lineup could look like:
Streit – Visnovsky
Hamonic – Macdonald
Carkner – ?
Right now the Islanders defense is mostly set with the 6th and possible 7th spots up for grabs at camp, in my opinion. That will likely be left for a battle between Donovan, Ness and de Haan whom all got a call up last year. In addition to that trio, the Islanders also have Marc Cantin, Jon Landry and now Wishart under contract, all of which will start the year in Connecticut. One interesting thing to watch for is if the Islanders will come to an agreement with Brenden Kitchon on an ELC. Kitchon had an excellent year in Spokane (WHL) and at 20 years old should be ready to make the jump to a pro deal.

A Watertown man was sentenced Tuesday in Jefferson County Court to 10 years in state prison for robbing a woman in broad daylight in the citys Stone Street parking lot.
Richard D. Lennox, 36, whose last known address was 362 Rutland St., was also ordered to undergo an additional five years of supervision upon his release from prison for a Jan. 22 guilty plea to second-degree robbery. He admitted that he forcibly stole a car from a 24-year-old unidentified woman May 25 in the lot. He also admitted that he struck the victim, a downtown worker who was returning from her lunch break at 12:25 p.m., forced his way into her car and began to assault her. He then briefly drove off with her vehicle.
He was sentenced as a second-felony offender. According to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, he was sentenced in Onondaga County in October 2001 to 10 years in prison for first-degree rape for an attack upon a 26-year-old woman on Aug. 21, 2001, following forced entry into a residence. He served the complete prison term and was discharged Aug. 19, 2011, for five years post-release supervision. He is a Level 2 risk on the states sex offender registry, termed a sexually violent offender.
In other court activity:
Chad A. Countryman, 20, whose last known address was 70848 Shepard St., was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation for a Jan. 18 guilty plea to third-degree attempted burglary. He was charged with entering the Huntington Street apartment of Rochelle Cornaire on Oct. 27 without her permission. Police said at the time that the victim reported her 26-inch flat-screen television and a long skateboard had been stolen.
Dylan T. Webb, 21, of 827 Ann St., was sentenced to three years probation for a Dec. 19 guilty plea to fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted that he possessed a metal knuckle knife Sept. 11 in Watertown. It was illegal for him to have the weapon because he has a prior misdemeanor conviction for petit larceny.
Darrious L. Davis, 48, Watertown, admitted violating probation and was resentenced to 10 months in the PSB. He also was ordered to pay $150 in restitution in the form of a civil judgment. He was serving five years probation imposed in November for a guilty plea in September to fourth-degree grand larceny, having admitted that he stole a debit card from Jessica A. Nappi, Adams, in May. He admitted violating probation by continuing to use alcohol while under supervision.
Tiffany V. Thompson, 31, Carthage, admitted violating probation and was resentenced to nine months in the PSB, with credit for time served. She was serving five years probation imposed in Lewis County Court, Lowville, in July for fifth-degree welfare fraud and fourth-degree insurance fraud, having been accused of obtaining Medicaid and food stamp benefits to which she was not entitled. She admitted violating probation by leaving a substance abuse rehabilitation program without completing it and against clinical advice. She also admitted she continued to use alcohol.
Jedadiah D. Romeo, 31, Watertown, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree burglary and admitted violating probation. He admitted that on Sept. 8 he entered the construction site of Samaritan Summit Village on Summit Drive in the town of Watertown with the intent to steal something. He also admitted that sometime between Sept. 15 and Sept. 17 he entered a second construction site in the town of Watertown, again with the intent to steal items. Police said at the time that construction tools were stolen from the sites.
At the time, Mr. Romeo was serving three years probation imposed in January 2012 for petit larceny and second-degree criminal trespassing convictions for stealing cash from his familys dry-cleaning business. He admitted violating probation by committing the new crimes. He is expected to be sentenced April 19 to time served at the PSB and a new period of five years probation.
Tyler D. Collins, 19, Watertown, admitted violating probation and was resentenced to nine months in the PSB, with credit for time served. He also was ordered to pay $2,263 in restitution in the form of a civil judgment. He was serving five years probation imposed in July in Lewis County Court for convictions on two counts of third-degree attempted burglary and a single count of third-degree burglary for breaking into seasonal camps. He admitted violating probation by being charged more than once with shoplifting and by failing to follow through with a substance abuse evaluation.
Samuel J. Hearring, 29, no fixed address, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted robbery and was sentenced to time served at the PSB. He admitted that on Oct. 18 he tried to forcibly steal property from Great American, 672 State St., while punching the stores manager, Richard E. Lockwood, in the face.
Michael L. Gascon, 24, of 43762 Fourth St., Redwood, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted burglary. He admitted that in March or April, with another man, he tried to enter Bonnie Castle Marina in Alexandria Bay with the intent to steal something. He is expected to be sentenced April 19 to time served at the PSB and five years probation.
Terry L. Gebo, 52, Watertown, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal contempt. He admitted that on Jan. 7 he violated an order of protection held by Mary M. Charland by dumping a bucket of marbles on her head at the Salina Street apartment they shared. He is expected to be sentenced April 17 to time served at the PSB and three years probation.
Trudi L. Harney, 44, of 520 Gotham St., Apt. 1, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. She used an Alford plea, meaning she did not admit to the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial. Assistant District Attorney Rodney W. Kyle told Judge Kim H. Martusewicz that, if the matter proceeded to trial, prosecutors would introduce evidence from a witness that on Nov. 26 Ms. Harney struck Benjamin M. Kilburn on his head several times with a glass wine bottle at their residence. She is expected to be sentenced April 17 to no worse than probation supervision.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
The Carbon County Sheriff's SWAT team captured an armed suspect who had been holding off police for six hours Thursday at the old Green River missile site.
The man had pulled off at the base around noon and parked after a wild chase through Green River on I-70 that reportedly exceeded 100 mph.
From then on, officers from Grand, Emery and Carbon counties surrounded the vehicle and began the long wait.
During the standoff, the man alternately put a pistol to his head, fired rounds into the air, and swigged on a bottle of vodka, according to Sheriff James Cordova. At one point the man was seen tossing money into the air.
Shortly after 6 p.m., the suspect appeared to have fallen asleep or passed out in his car.
After clearing their approach plan with incident commander Jim Nyland, Sheriff of Grand County, the Carbon team warily approached the vehicle, using the limited cover and concealment available to avoid being seen.
When the moment came, the SWAT members jerked open the door, seized the man and two handguns and cuffed him.
"I don't think he knew what hit him," Sheriff Cordova said.
The handguns were apparently .40 caliber and 9 mm models.
The suspect was taken to Grand County Jail and booked.
He was from out of state and was apparently driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen in Pennsylvania.
Carbon SWAT involvement began after the chase ended at the missile site. Lawmen discovered that the suspect was armed and they called for backup.
Cordova said he got the request at about 12:30 p.m., and by 1 p.m. nine members of the Carbon SWAT team were en route.
At the scene, the sheriff said the team counted more than 50 shots fired into the air by the man during the long wait.
Cordova said the combined law enforcement team showed patience and judgment in holding off. Snipers from the Carbon and Emery teams had been deployed, but the objective was to keep the suspect alive and avoid either suicide or "suicide by cop."

NEWPORT-Ryan Paul's performance in the North Country nets on Friday night is the stuff that legends are built upon. The senior netminder, along with the defenders playing in front of him, combined to stop close to thirty shots from entering the Falcon goal against the Essex Hornets.
Essex threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Falcons, but the entire team battled as one, giving what could arguably be called the team's finest performance of 2013.
The tie gives North Country a 3-10-1 record for the year, and the boys are sitting in 14th place right now, and should end up traveling to Hartford in the opening round of the play-offs.

Takes money to save money with solar power
EUGENE, Ore. - Harnessing the power of the sun is within the reach of more people than ever before.
"It's a great return on your investment. You're being green. You're reducing your carbon footprint," said contractor Luke Rabun.
Rabun said solar is expensive at first, but the incentives to buy have never been better.
"There's a lot of free money there for people; 94 percent of the cost of the system is paid through these tax credits and incentives," said Rabun from Pacific Solar and Rain.
So what's the cost break down? Rabun used a sample solar system that costs about $14,000.
A Eugene Water and Electric Board "greenpower" incentive applies immediately. Tax credits come over a series of years. All told, the incentives top $13,000.
The final cost to you is about $800.
However, those state and federal tax credits phase in over 4 year. Rabun said you have an up-front cost of as much as $10,000.
To break even, "you're looking at like 3 to 5 years in what we tell people and it depends on what system you go with," Rabun said.
The average homeowner using the system would save more than $268 a year on power, paying back that $800 investment in less than 4 years.
EWEB has been working with local contractors to promote solar systems since 2006 because, officials say, customers want it.
"We'll be at the front of that technology when it does become affordable and the market transforms and we won't need to offer incentives anymore," said Colleen Wedin with EWEB's solar-electric program.
And now the City of Eugene is pursuing a new program called Solarize Eugene.
"The end goal is go get 50 to 100 systems installed in Eugene at a very reasonable cost," said Dr. Frank Vignola, director of the University of Oregon Solar Energy Center.
Of course, there is fine print:
"The first reservation period for EWEB's net metered program is now fully subscribed. We will accept applications for the next reservation period beginning April 16, 2012. Please do not apply early, as EWEB cannot hold applications. Read more about the new reservation process, which started in 2012."
