|Public Works Head Charged in Blue Light Stop
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 16 November 2013 07:36
After a week's investigation, and thanks to a Crimestoppers tip, Boone Public Works Director Blake Brown was charged Friday with a misdemeanor in connection with use of a blue light to pull a woman over. The incident occurred Thursday a week ago on Deerfield Road, a woman telling
authorities that she was stopped by a man in a pickup with a blue light on the dash. Sheriff Len Hagaman said officers were assisted by a tip received through High Country Crimestoppers. The sheriff's release said that James Blake Brown, 58, of 1005 Evergreen Drive, Boone, was charged with unlawful possession or activation of a blue light, according to Hagaman. He was set a $2,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 19. The November 7th incident was followed by one the next night on the ASU campus, but Brown is not a suspect in that, according to Sheriff Hagaman. Authorities are still seeking a suspect in that incident.

According to AP, men, women, and children attended the folk religion ceremony. Showgirls like En En are hired to appear at festivals as well as at weddings and funerals. They travel across Taiwan on "electronic flower cars", which can be converted to electro light stages.
"They have become part of our religion and folk culture," Chen Chung-hsien, an official at Wu Fu Temple, told AP.
The practice started in the 1970s, and it does have its critics, who label the tradition as vulgar.
Pole-dancing, singing, and flashing lights seem de rigor at these performances. Strippers can get arrested, as stripping fully nude is a criminal offense in Taiwan. Partial stripping, however, does happen.
"I've watched this since I was little so it's nothing peculiar for me. Performing for the dead is just like performing for the living people," said 26 year-old Chiang Pei-ying, who travels with her sisters and her father, who's worked in this business for 30 years.
"They liked to sing when they were alive and their relatives thought they would have liked to have somebody sing for them in the end," she added. "For me, I get good tips and I hope I am accumulating good karma too."

Cromartie and Jets Hoping to Keep Russell Wilson in the Pocket?
Cromartie joined NFL AM today, and talked about what it's been like to adjust after Darrelle Revis' injury and how the defense can get better. Also, Cromartie was asked about how the Jets are approaching rookie quarterback Russell Wilson.
"I just think he's a guy who can extend a play," Cromartie told NFL Network. "When you have a quarterback who can extend the play and get outside the pocket and make plays with his legs and his arms, it's kind of hard to defend."
"The biggest thing for us is to try and keep him in the pocket," Cromartie said, "make him make throws that he can't see over [the offensive line]."
So far, Pete Carroll has done a good job of getting Wilson rolling out on designed boots and scrambles, and it's make the Seahawks passing game harder to defend. The Jets have had trouble with their aging edge-setting linebackers Calvin Pace and Bryan Thomas and the Jets are going to be tested in trying to keep Wilson contained. Guys like newly activated Ricky Sapp or Marcus Dowtin might be well equipped to help the Jets figure out a way to stop Wilson in the passing game. The young linebackers might be better suited to be used in pursuit or containment against an agile young player like Russell Wilson.
We'll see how the Jets utilize their players Sunday, but Cromartie is exactly right. The Jets are going to have to contain Wilson on the edges and pressure him right up the middle to get him off his game.

JAY – Jay Peak Resort was not accepted into the pilot program that would have allowed the resort to pay for extra officers at the Canadian/U.S. Port of Entry inspection station.
Visitors coming from Canada sometimes wait about a half hour or more at the North Troy Port of Entry on their way to the resort. Just over half of skiers at Jay Peak are from Canada, resort co-owner Bill Stenger reports. Stenger attempted to enter the pilot program, even though it would have cost him thousands to pay for more customs officers.

Webinar: Data Center Optimization Through Modernized Infrastructure
Intel and Columbia Sportswear experts share their insights
Data Center Optimization Webinar
IT is evolving at a rapid pace, and IT professionals are finding ways to provide efficient, cost-effective services to business whether strictly in-house or via hybrid or public cloud services. In this #ITCenter webinar, two prominent IT experts assert that operational excellence begins on premises with a fully modernized data center infrastructure.
Specifically, Intel's Shannon Poulin and Columbia Sportswear's Michael Leeper discuss:
- The path to software-defined infrastructure – Up-to-date server processing resources are critical components of holistic, dynamic management and control of cloud services.
- Why hardware is more than horsepower – The importance of server supportability, lifecycle management, roadmapping, licensing, pricing and more.
- Keeping physical servers current – Methodically retiring legacy infrastructure to take advantage of new hypervisor and OS capabilities, gain higher RAM density, and more.
- Refining cloud service cost models – IT becomes a stronger strategic partner by thoroughly assessing cloud service cost models and advertising their value.
- IT as the broker of trust – Supporting the business based on a definitive map of infrastructure and services inside and out, and placing workloads to leverage specific capabilities and cost models.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
If you are reading this there is a good chance that by now you have already voted in the 2007 election.
Or not.
In fact, most of those looking at these words didn't vote in this election, and may not have never voted at all in any election.
It's a travesty none of us have any excuse for.
Most of the world's people have no influence on their government at all. They live under dictatorships, monarchs or supposed democratic governments that hold elections where there is only one candidate for each office, and that is the governmental sponsored one.
While democracy has been growing throughout the globe in the last century, there are also many more examples of countries that have gone backwards. Just watch the news and a few times a year a previous democracy becomes a dictatorship as a president declares himself the leader of a country for the rest of his life. Those kinds of governments usually don't last the life of the man who declares it, but it disrupts the system of democracy in the country, and often they are fledgling ones, that it takes a lot of time and effort to get something back in place that resembles a people's government.
In this country a lot of citizens have given up voting because they feel they have so little effect on what actually happens in the elections. Others just think politics are, put simply, a waste of time. But as I have written in these pages so often, we tend to focus way too much on national elections, particularly the presidential race. National offices are just a small part of what we vote on. The votes on items like referendums and local government officials are what, on a daily basis, affect us more than almost anything the president or a congressman can do to influence our lives.
Local elections are what affect our water systems, our roads, our schools, land issues, local taxes, etc. The list goes on and on.
This latest election is all local; there are no national candidates. Referendum one is the closest thing to being something that was on the ballot as far as having a national impact. People in other places are watching what happens here, because the voucher idea is a national one.
People in other countries would give their lives today to have the right to vote on their government.
And as Veterans Day approaches this next Sunday, we all need to remember that many brave men and women sacrificed their bodies and lives so we could continue to have the right to at least have some control over those that govern us. A lot of blood has been spilled since 1776 to protect that control.
Voting is a privilege we have been given and a right under our laws. But as Americans become and more cynical about voting, we must also remember it is also a responsibility.
It's one we shouldn't shirk.

Students in the two programs are required to take nine courses in common – three in computer science and six in art and design. A course called The History of Video Games shows students the role. Students who come to LTU to study game art and software development often want to turn a childhood passion into a career. They have grown up with video games and are steeped in the lore of an entertainment genre that started out with simple games like Pac-Man at the dawn of the digital age and has since grown very sophisticated and complex.
As America and the world become increasingly digitized, video gaming continues to expand and become more influential. Sales in the U.S. entertainment software industry rose almost 10-fold in 16 years to $20.8 billion in 2012, according to the Entertainment Software Association, and DCF Intelligence projects that the global market for video and online games will reach $82 billion by 2017. The video game industry's techniques and processes have been adopted in other commercial sectors.
Colleges and universities started offering degrees in this field about 10 years ago, but in many cases there has been a disconnect between the artists and designers who create the visual images and the programmers who build the games. LTU is bridging that gap.
Six years ago LTU entered the field with the introduction of the computer science concentration in game software development. Then four years ago, after consulting extensively with an industry advisory board, the College of Architecture and Design introduced its Bachelor of Fine Arts in Game Art.
Game art student Walter Schwall (left) discusses an assignment with David Bindschadler and Peter Beaugard, the chairs of the two departments that host game software development and game art.
"We were asked to educate future leaders who understand both sides, the computer development and the art design, and that's where we figured we could excel," said Assistant Professor Peter Beaugard, chair of LTU's Department of Art and Design. "We've taken an aggressive stance in developing thought leadership by really marrying the two programs together. Most other institutions don't have the ability to do that, so that's what differentiates us."
played by game artists and computer programmers in the development of the profession. "Part of the problem in the industry is that artists didn't know how to talk to computer scientists, and vice versa,"
Beaugard said. "We are getting them together so that they can talk."
Left and right brains
It is considered unusual for a course of study to bring together both left brain and right brain activity – art and math, creativity and reasoning – and yet that combination in game art is not as unlikely as it initially seems. Many of the LTU students who come to game art primarily because they were "gaming geeks" at a young age also have demonstrated strong math skills in high school.
"We built a program that leverages both sides of the brain and both skills," Beaugard said.
Associate Professor David Bindschadler, chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, welcomed the new computer science concentration because video games make teaching easier. "I recognized right away the similarity between what a player does in a game and what I want my students to do in class," he said. "Game design is really education."
Being able to design video games provides an incentive to pursue computer science at a time when it is hard to attract enough students to a field that most economists consider key to the continued health of the American economy. "Getting students excited about the subject matter and learning is part of what we do. Game development makes computer science fun," Bindschadler said.
It can be a challenge to get a well-developed art student to think in terms of algorithms, but game art students find the effort worthwhile. "We are giving them a tool to do what they want to accomplish,
but they have to think completely differently," he said.
Game art students realize that it is good to know something about coding, and they are also exposed to architecture, drawing, and design through a shared curriculum in freshman year across all programs in the College of Architecture and Design.
"I came here because the curriculum was best for me, and they showed it to me in a flow chart," said game art student Eric Williams. "And getting a laptop with all the tools I needed was a big plus."
The LTuZone™ program that provides all undergraduates with the hardware and software they need for their courses is especially helpful to students who are involved in both math and art. "Some of that software is really expensive, and a lot of schools just leave you on your own," Williams said.
For Walter Schwall IV, a sophomore in game art, the requirement to learn more about computer science turned into an opportunity. "Math used to be one of my worst subjects, but here I got added
help for five minutes after class for the first five weeks, and all of a sudden I was getting an A," Schwall said. "Math is useful, and it's one of the abilities I need for designing game programs."
Schwall grew up playing video games, but he also developed a love of history that he hopes to pursue if he fulfills his personal goal of starting his own company that designs video games. "I see an opportunity to bring history into it," Schwall said.
Schwall's ambition to build his own business fits in with LTU's goal of producing graduates who are leaders in their chosen professions. This is particularly important in game art because of the high burnout rate for designers and animators, according to Beaugard.
Studies show that the average animator leaves the studio in three to five years. "Spending 70 hours a week modeling the hair of a monster is not very glamorous," Beaugard said.
Game art student Rachel Seeger
The average compensation for employees working for companies in this field was $90,000 in 2010, according to Economic Inc., but many of those employees are expected to work 20 hours or more per week in uncompensated overtime. The work is often very repetitive, and workers are often under a great deal of pressure at "crunch time" when companies must meet the deadlines set for the release of new video game products.
The same is true for game software developers. "Generally the time pressure is pretty brutal," Bindschadler said.
One solution for avoiding the excessive demands placed on designers and developers is to become a manager. "The promising career in this field is as a creative director, and we are preparing our students for leadership because they understand both sides of the process," Beaugard said.
Graduates of these programs develop a knowledge base that is also becoming increasingly important in other economic sectors that have grown in the digital environment. Interactive designers for web pages now use game mechanics developed for video games. Industrial design planners have to know about game mechanics when considering how consumers interact with products. Rewards programs for online banking borrow techniques from video games, and the evolving field of education technology owes many of its standard techniques to game art.
Computer-generated imagery has started to show up on web channels now that some technical difficulties have been solved. "The future of game design could actually be in interactive marketing," Beaugard said.
Attracting students
The popularity of video games can be a double-edged sword when it comes to recruiting students. On one hand, it is almost always the first section to fill up at the LTU Exploration Day open houses for potential students. On the other hand, parents are often wary about having their teenagers try to turn a love of video games into a career.
"We talk honestly about the attrition rate in the field and how we have built a program that gives our graduates the latitude to move into other professions," Beaugard said.
Game art students are well aware that the profession that they would love to be a part of is also very difficult. "We have to realize that it's time-consuming and labor-intensive," said game art student Brandon Nowakowski. "Some people find themselves losing the love of gaming that got them into this in the first place, so you have to be committed. This is something that you really want to do at your core."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Consumer-related stocks, at the vanguard of this year's rally, may face particular headwinds this week as retailers report earnings and a slew of consumer data hits investors.
While earnings and economic data have not been particularly strong, it's difficult to tell that from stock performance. This quarter alone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% is up 3.7%, the S&P 500 Index SPX, -0.68% has advanced 4.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.87% has grown 5.2%. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 gained 1% this past week, with the Nasdaq up nearly 2%.
Plus, the Dow industrials and S&P 500 continue to push against all-time highs. While some have said the mantra of "sell in May, and go away" isn't in play this year, others see stocks as being stretched and ripe for a correction. Additionally, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday said the central bank was on the lookout for any excessive risk taking in investors's "reach for yield."
With a lack of data in the past week, the market may face more of a headwind in the coming week as investors are hit with a torrent, said Scott Armiger, manager of the Christiana Trust at Wilmington Savings Fund Society.
With consumer spending such a large part of the economy and more than 90% of S&P 500 companies having reported earnings, investors are likely to be more sensitive to the data given most are looking for a correction out of the corner of their eye and markets are well past several strategists's targets for the year.
Here comes a big mess of consumer data with a side of retailer earnings
Consumer data will get a fair amount of play with April retail sales data on Monday, the April consumer price index on Thursday, and May consumer sentiment on Friday. A recent pickup in energy prices will likely make higher payroll taxes more noticeable to consumers, Armiger said.Read Economic Preview: Consumers are holding up relatively well.
"As the tailwind of lower gas prices ends, I don't think the consumer gets any more help," Armiger said.
Add to that retailer earnings this week and it could get messy for those sectors which have enjoyed quite a rally this year. Consumer discretionary stocks are up nearly 20% and consumer staples are up nearly 18%, the second- and third-best industry sectors on the S&P 500. They've outpaced the 14.5% rise for the benchmark.
This week Macy's Inc. M, -0.20% Nordstrom Inc. JWN, -0.44% Kohl's Corp. KSS, -1.91% J.C. Penney Co. JCP, -0.62% and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.30% report quarterly earnings. The week after that TJX Cos. TJX, -1.14% , Home Depot Inc. HD, -0.24% , Target Corp. TGT, -0.32% , Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR, +0.65% , and Ross Stores Inc. ROST, -2.14% report.
Read more on retail at the Behind the Storefront blog.
Other data points coming out include the April producer price index, the May Empire State index, and May homebuilders index on Wednesday.
Don't get too tied to any one data point
Even though this week is data-rich as opposed to last week's data-poor week, Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citi Research, said that investors shouldn't get too tied to one data point.
Levkovich, who prefers a big picture view, said the lack of a slump so far in the market isn't the result of one data point or another, but more a read of longer-term conditions.

Depth was a common strength shared by the OFA Golf, Baseball and Boys Lacrosse teams in Mondays Northern Conference action.
The golfers won their season-opener defeating Massena 210-226, the baseball team (4-1 NAC) posted its fourth straight Central Division win with an 18-1 victory at Gouverneur and the lacrosse squad snapped a six-game slide netting a 6-4 victory at Colton-Pierrepont.
This was definitely a team effort, said OFA Coach Joe Lynch who will take his team to Gouverneur before hosting Potsdam on Thursday.
Conor Hannan shot an excellent round of 37 but he was nipped by Hunter Francis who shot a 36. But we had a nice day overall with a lot of solid rounds.
The number one match produced two birdies as Hannan birdied the third hole and Francis birdied the second hole. Massenas second man Kendrick Swamp shot a 40 with a birdie on the ninth hole.
The Blue Devils took control as Rudy Binion and Jed McRoberts shots 42s and Tristan Moore tallied a 45. Rounding out Massenas scoring unit were: Brendan Dobbins (45), Tyler Sunday (53) and Mark Bender (52). Matt Pierces 45 led OFAs alternates with Alec Manke posting a 47 and Colin and Justin Ross finishing at 48.
GOUVERNEUR -Stingy on the mound and prolific at the plate.
OFA continued to exhibit that optimum formula at Gouverneurs Mills Park as Seth Pinkerton struck out 10 in five innings to pick up his second win of the season.
Pinkerton allowed three hits and Zach Sharpe pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his first mound outing of the season.
Sharpe continued his outstanding season at the plate going 5/5 with his second five-RBI game of the season, belting a three-run homerun over the rightfield fence into the Oswegatchie River and scoring three runs. Kinnon LaRose drove in three runs with a pair of doubles and Jon Tayler stroked two hits and scored three runs with an RBI.
Konnor Murdock also doubled and Seth Pinkerton, Dave Prudhomme, Andrew Cole and Alex Farrell all stroked RBI singles. Brendan Arsenault and DaKota Brady also singled.
Aaron McEathron singled home the lone Gouverneur (1-3 NAC) run as the Wildcats snapped a string 24 innings without an earned run by Devil pitchers. Matt Waugh, Matt Ashley and Hunter Ayen also hit safely.
Seth Pinkerton and Zach Sharpe both mixed their pitches well. Seth mixed three pitches to keep their batters off balance, said OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton.
And Zach Sharpe is just crushing everything at the plate right now. Dave Prudhomme got his first hit and that was great to see because he improved so much. LACROSSE
SOUTH COLTON - Andrew Roddy scored off assists from Nick Perrigo and Jake Garrison in the final four minutes of the game as the Blue Devils broke a 4-4 tie to defeat Colton-Pierrepont 6-4.
Roddy finished with four goals and one assist with Garrison and Perrigo each scoring one goal with an assist. Taylor Richardson and Nate Peo each added an assist to the support of Spencer Lawrences 10 saves.
Andrew Roddy, Jake Garrison and Nick Perrigo have been our key offensive guys all season and they stepped up today at the end of the game and made very nice plays, said OFA Coach Matt Morley who will have his team at home on Wednesday to host Canton.
Both teams played good defense today and both goalies played very well. After we got the go-ahead goal the guys did a good job slowing things down.
Gyle Dominy scored two goals for C-P (0-8), Cody Green tallied one goal with one assist and Andrew Holden scored a singleton to back Craig Millers nine saves.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Forget about Tom Brady's controversial comments regarding Buffalo's hotels; Dolphins Running Back Reggie Bush is now talking about our women.
During an interview on the Paul and Young Ron Radio Show in South Florida, he was discussing our forecast ahead of Thursday night's contest between the Bills and Dolphins.
One of the radio hosts said, "the women will be out there topless in that weather."
After the other host said, "You don't want to see that," Bush responded by saying "Not Buffalo women."

You may view your class schedule from Access Florida Tech.
Once registered, you may switch sections and drop courses without advisor approval through the end of the first week of classes. Beginning the following Monday, all registration business must be conducted at the Registration Center.
Withdrawal from the university must take place at the Registration Center.
Spring Registration Details
Co/Prerequisite Courses
Check the 2014–2015 University Catalog or through the online Course Catalog for course descriptions and co/prerequisite requirements.
Co/prerequisites are checked by the BANNER student system. If you have successfully completed a course that is a listed corequisite of a course for which you are planning to register, you may request a waiver of the corerequisite by contacting the Registrar's Office by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
To waive a co/prerequisite students must:
- Complete the Co/prerequisite Waiver Request form also available from your advisor or the Registration Center.
- Present the completed form to your faculty advisor for review. Your advisor will agree or disagree with your written justification and sign the form.
- Take the signed form to the academic unit offering the course to request approval of the waiver. If the waiver is approved, the academic unit head or designee of the academic unit offering the course will sign the waiver form.
- Bring the form to the Registration Center to officially enroll in the class.
Prerequisite Requirement for Registration
To ensure proper completion of prerequisite courses, any Melbourne campus student who fails or receives an incomplete for a course that is a listed prerequisite for a course in which they register the following term, will have that course automatically dropped as soon as the incomplete or failing grade is posted to the student's record.
The student should work with their advisor to update their program plan or request to retake the failed prerequisite.
Closed Classes
Certain classes may be closed at the time you register. If you want to enter a closed class, you must complete a Closed Class form, also available from the Registration Center or your academic unit. Take the form to the academic unit offering the course. If the academic unit approves, the academic unit head or designee will sign the form.

As Firefly Numbers Seem to Slide, Researchers Ponder Effects on Ecosystems
by AMNH on
Firefly larvae are voracious predators, feeding on snails, slugs, and earthworms and keeping ecosystems in delicate balance. Many are stocking up on food for their whole adulthood, throughout which they will never eat. Some climb trees in pursuit of arboreal snails. Others have gills like fish that allow them to dive for aquatic snails, whose shells they then use for protection like hermit crabs. In parts of Asia, a large mollusk called an apple snail has ravaged important crops such as rice, and firefly larvae are being explored as a potential form of biocontrol to protect those nations' food supply.

CSU Employees Not Impacted By Governor's Minimum Wage Order
Claudia Keith (562) 951-4800
(July 2, 2010) - In response to Governor Schwarzenegger's directive today to cut the pay of state workers to the federal minimum wage until a budget is passed, the California State University announced that CSU employees will continue to receive their regular compensation.
"We want to let CSU employees know that we have received confirmation from the State Controller's office that our employees' compensation is not impacted by this order," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "Employees will receive their regular paychecks and can expect their normal compensation." The CSU intends to pay its employees with alternative revenue sources other than state general funds if it becomes necessary.
Gov. Schwarzenegger has announced an order to cut the pay of about 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour until a budget is signed. Payroll decisions for the first month of the fiscal year, which began on July 1, do not need to be made until July 20.

Will a 24 tooth tranny sprocket fit on a 77 kick only bike, Stock 51 tooth rear wheel. Will a 110 link chain be long enough? Is a 21 or a 22 Stock?
I can answer one of your questions. Check out the chain length calculator here:
http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/Spro ... izer2.aspx
http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/Spro ... izer2.aspx
Iron Pimp thanks for your reply, it seems the 77 and up? has a support tube for the kicker shaft. The kicker cover also has a mounting hole that goes to this tube, can this tube be removed or notched to clear the sprocket? The tube is mounted to the rear engine mount by way of the two case bolts. The kicker Shaft looks like it will just clear, the cover mount and shaft support will definetly hit!
Thanks Neil
Thanks Neil
Pa it is definetly not the chain oiler, I have had my fair share of Sporty's apart and have never seen this part before. I will be working on my son's bike tomorrow or Saturday and I will snap photo's and show you what I meen. No pictures of it in Clymer or Harley Parts Manual, The sprocket cover bolts on to it above the kicker shaft and it supports the kicker shaft which runs thru it. The parts book shows the extra cover mounting hole above the kicker for77 and up.
Photo's tomorrow thanks Neil

Maeve is lovely! Maude isn't really creamy for us and personally reminds me more of the color of irises. It's a great name that I'd love to see used more often though.
Your boy's suggestions are fantastic. Nathan is perfect in terms of creaminess and fits in perfectly with our other ideas. Evan, Seth, and Allen unfortunately have not-so-great associations. It's such a disappointment as Evan and Seth are really handsome.
Thank you!

CRIMINAL CONTEMPT - MASSENA - Village police charged Demetrius J. Golden, 30, formerly of 177 1/2 Center St., Massena, with a felony count of first-degree criminal contempt and second-degree criminal contempt at 2:25 a.m. Friday at the Center Street residence he had been sharing with his girlfriend, the mother of his three children between the ages of six months and four years old.
He allegedly pinned Christine Rizzo against the wall and struck her and then pushed her into a door frame. Rizzo complained of scratches to both her arms and said her face had been shoved into the door frame. The village court had issued an order of protection in July directing Golden not to harass, annoy or alarm Ms. Rizzo.
Golden was arraigned by Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and released under the supervision of the probation department after he told the court he could find another address. I dont know where, but Im going to call around, he told the village justice.
The court signed a temporary order of protection directing Golden to stay away from Ms. Rizzo but allowing third-party contact to arrange child visitation.
Ms. Rizzo, in her statement to police, said she had sent Golden a text message asking him to move out of their Center Street residence early Friday morning. She told police she was in the bedroom and Golden was in the living room when she sent the initial message that prompted an argument.
She said Golden entered the bedroom after getting the message and started yelling at her. Demetrius pinned me against the wall with his left arm and tried hitting me with his right hand, but I blocked it, Ms. Rizzo said, explaining to police in her statement that defensive act left her with scratches on both her arms. He then pushed me into the door frame in front of our children.
Golden, in his statement to police, offered a dramatically different account of the incident. He acknowledged the couples relationship has been rocky in recent days. He said he was chatting with some friends on Facebook, including his aunt, when he received a message from Ms. Rizzo asking him to come into her room.
I told Christina no because shed didnt want to be with me anymore ..., he noted in his statement to police.
He said an argument ensured, and he went into Ms. Rizzos room to talk to her because he was tired of messaging back and forth. All of a sudden Christina grabbed me and pushed me on the couch and started choking me with her left hand. I was having a hard time talking, and I told Christina to stop choking me because I couldnt breathe, he said, noting he had pushed Ms. Rizzo away during that confrontation.

LOWVILLE — At 6-foot-1, 280 pounds, Brandon Fayle is an imposing figure.
The Lowville senior wrestler has grown into one of the top wrestlers in the state at the 285-pound weight class. Fayle has won two straight sectional crowns in that class after starting has career in the 215-pound division. He quickly grew into the role of one of the top heavyweights in the section.
"I've just been progressively getting bigger since my freshman year," Fayle said. "I'd wrestle at 215 in my sophomore year and I was still growing. I had that growth spurt, and we decided to wrestle at 285 where I won my first sectional title."
Fayle qualified for the state tournament in his sophomore year, but really took off in the 2011-12 season, when he compiled a record of 37-4 with 23 wins by pinfall and just missing a place finish at states. Lowville coach Jake Steria has watched Fayle put in a lot of offseason work, including trips to tournaments on the east coast, to become a better wrestler.
"The offseason work and the summer program that they have running here in town makes a big difference," said Steria, who is entering his fifth year as Lowville head coach. "Competition and traveling ... that makes a big difference when the season starts."
Fayle wrestles up to 30 matches in the summer and is a part of the Lewis County wrestling program run by coaches from the area, including Copenhagen coach Neil Freeman and Adirondack coaches Joe Galligan and Tom O'Rourke. He credits them with accelerating his improvement.
"I wouldn't be in the place I am right now without the Lewis County team," said Fayle, who won all three of his matches at the Sandy Creek duals last weekend.
Besides the summer work, Fayle also relies on his uncle Randy Morrison, who was a state champion in 1984 at 250 pounds, for advice and training. Fayle is hoping to follow in his uncle, the longtime Gouverneur wrestling coach, and win a state championship.
"My eyes are on a state title," Fayle said. "It's my last year. That's what I've been aiming for since I started wrestling. I've always wanted to be up there on the wall and in the trophy case with my uncle Randy."
The Red Raiders have moved from the "B" Division to the "C" Division this season due to enrollment numbers. Lowville will be in the same division as three-time defending champion Sandy Creek and fellow Lewis County schools Beaver River, Copenhagen and South Lewis. Steria believes the division will be competitive.
"The last few years we've had some pretty good matches with Copenhagen," he said. "We were real close with Sandy Creek last year. ... They are some good teams we could compete with."
Being the sectional winner at 285 means Fayle will have to take the best shot from other area wrestlers.
"Jacob Morris from Canastota and Trevor Gibbons of Carthage will probably be my two biggest competitors," he said.
Here's a look at the Frontier League teams.
"A" Division
Outlook: It will be tough for Indian River to repeat the success of last year as it won its first Section 3 team title in Division I. Indian River is in search of its fifth consecutive "A" Division crown. The Warriors lost six seniors to graduation, including Garrick Cook and Derrek Dalton. The Warriors still have four-time sectional champion Derrick Gray, who will be wrestling at 138 pounds. Carthage might be able to break the hold Indian River has had on the division, with a deep roster and a good mix of youth and experience. State-finalist and North Carolina State-bound Shayne Brady will wrestle at 182 for the Comets. Watertown is looking to improve on its third-place finish from last season and showed a lot of promise at the Poland Duals. Trae Brooks will be a leader for the Cyclones. IHC has a bigger roster and will look to contend with the help of Nick Koelmel, who finished third at sectionals in Division II.
