'Ghost Mine' features local duo
COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. - Legend tells that the streets of Cottage Grove are paved with gold under all that asphalt.
The town was built on gold mining, a history that the Secords took to TV for a SyFy reality series called "Ghost Mine."
The Cottage Grove miners took to an old eastern Oregon gold mine outside of Sumpter, searching the abandoned dig for new signs of gold.
"Everybody wants to know how much gold did you get?" Duck Secord said. "We don't know!"
"You never answer that question," Dick Secord said. "Any miner that'll tell you how much gold he's got, he's fully of bologna. You just don't talk about it."
Duck and Dick, father-son gold miners from Cottage Grove, filmed "Ghost Mine" outside Sumpter, a living ghost town southwest of Baker City in northeastern Oregon.
The duo got the nod based on their experience mining for gold since the 1970s using technology around since at least the 1870s.
They give the show the "mine" part. A pair of paranormal investigators picked up the "ghost" end of things, which didn't always sit well with the miners.
"We were there to blow up rock, and they were in the way," said Dick, known on screen as Grey Beard. "They introduced two people as paranormals. Well, in my book, if someone says, 'Hi, I'm a paranormal,' that just opens the door for jokes."
The Secords said they didn't need an expert to tell them ghosts dwell in those old mines.
"They're good. They're good ghosts," Duck said. "Some people think they're bad, you'll see pebbles coming down out of a crack."
Duck said that isn't a spectral threat - it's a friendly tommyknocker warning a miner to get out before it's too late.
"You know, I'm a pretty good believer in superstitions," he said. "Superstitions like that, if they've been handed down for years, there's got to be something to it, and so far it's paid off for us."
But not all the miners are so convinced the ghosts are on their side.
A pair of greenhorn miners joined the Secords for the show. Jay Verburg and Jamol Eli were skeptical about the existence of tommyknockers at first, but say "Ghost Mine" changed all that.
"There's a supernatural realm there that's going on that it kind of freaks you out," Jay said.
Freaked out or not, the greenhorns said everyone should take notes from the two old-school gold miners from Cottage Grove.
"Dick and I, we took chances we shouldn't have had to, but we got to find out so we just take then, and we just lucked out I guess," Duck said. "He was always there to save me."

The scope of the ongoing criminal investigation into an April homicide incident near Wellington has unexpectedly expanded to include the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On April 30, the public safety dispatch center in Price broadcast an emergency message reporting the discovery of a body in an unincorporated area in close proximity to 600 East Main in Wellington.
Local law enforcement personnel responded to the location shortly after 7:49 a.m. and the initial investigation conducted by the Carbon County Sheriff's Office determined that the woman, identified as 27-year-old Crystal Carpenter Bradley, was the victim of a homicide.
The local law enforcement officials secured the murder scene before entering the Crystal and Dale Bradley Jr. residence to complete a routine check of the premises, pointed out Carbon Sheriff James Cordova on Tuesday.
After finding a suspected controlled substance and drug paraphernalia inside the home, the local authorities arrested and booked 36-year-old Dale Bradley Jr. into the Carbon County Jail on drug-related charges at 1:55 p.m. on April 30.
The Wellington man was released from custody after posting $5,000 in bail.
The sheriff's office continued the extensive homicide investigation and interviewed several unidentified individuals in connection with the murder case, added Cordova.
Based on information voluntarily provided by a number of local citizens, criminal investigators from the Carbon County and Salt Lake County law enforcement agencies obtained a warrant to conduct a second search of the Bradley residence.
"The second search proved to be valuable, with items found at the scene making Dale Bradley Jr. a definite person of interest in the homicide investigation," indicated the Carbon County sheriff on May 17.
Addressing the Wasatch Front law enforcement agency's participation in the local homicide investigation, Cordova said the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office questioned Dale Bradley Jr. during an investigation into the unsolved 1991 murder of a Kennecott Copper Corporation security guard.
The Kennecott employee, Bryan Ruff, was purportedly abducted from a company guard shack on Dec. 10, 1991 and Wasatch Front authorities later recovered the gunshot victim's body at a site near Fairfield.
"The Carbon County Sheriff's Office is working closely with Salt Lake County investigators to collect evidence and determine whether the two murder cases are linked," confirmed Cordova.
The Carpenter family has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for the young Wellington woman's murder.
In conclusion, Cordova encouraged Carbon County residents who may have information regarding the April 30 homicide incident to contact lead investigator Sgt. Tom Stefanoff at the sheriff's office at 636-3727.

Ice cold action heats up slopes
BEND, Ore. - Up on Mount Bachelor, the weather was cold, grey and spitting snow, but that didn't stop people from trying to ski or snowboard across a pond of ice cold water.
On Sunday, May 26, the pond skimming competition celebrated the end the season at Bachelor.
Pond skimmers dressed in everything from snow pants and jackets to shorts and T-shirts.
After icing up the run in, competitors attempted to cross the pond one after the other.
Some sped across just like it was snow, while others went face first into the water.
Spectators lined the pond to see kids and adults alike dressed up in outrageous costumes attempt to cross the pond.
To go along with the pond skimming competition, Mount Bachelor was also on its second day of the BrewSki, an annual beer festival that brings the local Bend breweries up to Mount Bachelor on its closing weekend.
With plenty for both spectators, and competitors, Bachelor's closing day went off without a hitch, despite the weather.

|Bill Would Limit Teen Targeted Alcohol
|Written by Submitted
|Friday, 12 April 2013 15:14
On Wednesday, NC House Majority Leader Edgar Starnes if Caldwell County introduced a bill with wide bi-partisan support that would limit the availability of a category of high risk alcoholic drinks. Dylan Mulrooney-Jones, with the North Carolina Alcohol Policy Alliance said,
"These products pose serious risk to the health and safety of North Carolina's children," and said, "we applaud the Republican leadership for putting children first." Flavored alcoholic beverages like Four Loko, Joose and Blast often contain 12 percent alcohol by volume in 24 ounce cans-- the definition of binge drinking in one, non-resealable container. These products, which contain spirituous flavorings and sugar are reported to taste more like a soda pop than beer and are heavily marketed toward and highly attractive to young people. Reverend Creech with the Christian Action League said, "Since legislation was passed in 2006 increasing the amount of alcohol that products marketed as malt beverages can contain (from 6%-15%), there has been an influx of Flavored Alcohol Beverages (FABs) popular among youth." Wanda Boone, with Durham Together for Resilient Youth (T.R.Y), said existing flavored alcohol beverages are more popular than beer among teenage girls and represent over 16% of the youth alcohol market. Among youth who report regular alcohol consumption (defined as at least one drinking episode in the past 30 days), almost two thirds (64%) report regular use of FABs. She said "These products are highly attractive to youth consumers." And she said, "Additionally, they put our low wealth communities in great harm. These communities that already have high concentrations of alcohol outlets (convenience stores), increased rates of crime and chronic disease, do not need these dangerous alcoholic products on every street corner, worsening the myriad problems that exist." House Bill 782 would move these high alcohol content, sugary, flavored beverages to ABC stores. "North Carolina's ABC Boards are one of our best lines of defense between potentially harmful alcoholic products and youthful consumers. I cannot think of a better place to house these drinks to protect our children" said Mulrooney-Jones.

Ringling ID Students Become LEED Accredited Professionals
January 22, 2009 - Aubrey Pendleton and Walker Storey, Ringling Interior Design seniors, have both recently taken and passed the LEED AP Exam on their first attempt, making them LEED Accredited Professionals.
LEED Professional Accreditation distinguishes building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process. LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED Rating System. More than 75,000 people have earned the credential since the Professional Accreditation program was launched in 2001.
The Ringling Interior Design department's mission statement, "Interior designers are stewards of the environment," as well as their teaching staff, back up this practice. Jill Eleazer, Ringling Interior Design faculty, says this of the LEED program, "All of our classes focus on sustainable design and environmental responsibility - especially since Interior Designers are responsible for specifying billions of dollars worth of construction materials and furnishings. We include design projects and studies throughout our curriculum that incorporate LEED standards. We are beginning to focus on 'gearing up' all of our students to successfully take the LEED exam prior to graduation as well."
Norman Hervieux, Interior Design Department Head, also commented on Jill's commitment to the environment, stating that "Jill's teaching serves as an inspiration to students' growing interest in environmental sustainability."
Congratulations Aubrey and Walker! Being LEED APs, these two now have a great addition to their resumes.

In her first season as an assistant coach, Sinkler was a part of the 2013 MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, leading Creighton to an MVC regular season title. She helped the Bluejays claim their MVC regular season title since her playing days in 2009.
In 2014 the Bluejays finished fourth in their inaugural season as a member of the BIG EAST Conference. CU finished with an overall record of 29-24 and a conference record of 10-10. The Bluejays finished conference play strong by reeling off four straight victories to earn a bid to the BIG EAST Softball Championship before top-seeded DePaul ended their NCAA tournament hopes by defeating the Jays.
Sinkler helped develop seniors Alexis Cantu and Blair Lowe as well as junior Liz Dike as they earned spots on All-BIG EAST teams.
The Bluejays surprised some in the MVC by winning the regular-season title in 2013 after being picked fourth in the preseason poll. Despite earning a No. 1 seed, Creighton fell 1-0 to UNI in the MVC tournament semifinals after a game-opening leadoff home run that proved to be the difference. Senior Amy Baker's record-setting year led the Jays to a 29-18 overall record and 15-7 conference mark. Baker ended her prolific four-year Bluejay career as the Creighton and MVC career leader in home runs (58) as well as RBI (167) - records previously held by Sinkler. Dike, Lowe and Ellen Homan each earned All-MVC selections for the Jays.
Sinkler's impact paid off in 2012 as a potent Bluejay offense scored at least 10 runs in a game 11 times and scored a school record of 294 runs last season. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. The Jays ended the year ranked in the NCAA top-30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27).
Sinkler won a title in each of her four seasons with the Bluejays, as CU won three straight regular-season titles from 2007 to 2009 and a Valley tournament championship in 2010. She also helped lead the Jays to three NCAA Regional appearances in her career.
The Lincoln, Neb., native put together the greatest offensive season in school history as a senior in 2010, setting single-season school records for runs (59), RBI (58), total bases (147), slugging percentage (.880), on-base percentage (.514) and hit an MVC-record 24 home runs. She ranked fourth in the NCAA in home runs per game and sixth in slugging percentage, earning NFCA Third Team All-America honors as a senior.
Sinkler crushed a school and MVC record 50 home runs and owned school records of 146 RBI and 391 total bases at the end of her playing career. A member of three Bluejay NCAA Tournament teams, she earned MVC First Team honors three times, NFCA All-Region honors twice and is one of four players in league history to repeat as MVC Player of the Year.
Along the way Sinkler earned USA Softball's National Player of the Week recognition on April 14, 2008 as a sophomore after hitting .700 and driving in nine runs during Creighton's 13-1 defeat of Nebraska in her hometown. Sinkler graduated from Creighton in 2011 with a degree in graphic design.

ISLANDERS at RANGERS, 7:05 pm – Wang, Roloson starts, Bruno's out, WJC, JJ, Figren, Tavares
FanHouse's Bruce Ciskie on Matt Donovan
11:30 am – Scott Gordon this morning when asked if he's going to employ one player to try and stop Marian Gaborik: "We're gonna bring in Kenny Morrow and use him as our shutdown guy."
Whatever Happens…Charles Wang told a few reporters at the Board of Governors meetings in California that he did not want to discuss Brooklyn or any other options for his Islanders in the press. Asked if the team could stay on Long Island, the owner said, "Yeah, I hope so. Whatever happens, happens."
As we've written repeatedly in this space for a year, Wang has a serious distate for the thought of the Islanders being anywhere except exactly where they are – in Nassau County.
Battle of New York: The Islanders enter tonight's game at Madison Square Garden having won only one of their last five, 12 of their last 33. They are two points out of the eight and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. They are tied with five other teams for the No. 2 spot in the draft lottery.
The team may not be a juggernaut and they certainly have not earned the right to take anyone lightly, but look at their opponents in their next seven games – all in New York: Rangers (3x), Montreal, Tampa Bay, Toronto and Philadelphia. If they can't make some hay here, they won't make it anywhere.
The goaltending matchup: Dwayne Roloson vs. Henrik Lundqvist. Chad Johnson could start for the Rangers on Thursday at the Coliseum.
Johnson told the Rangers media that his dad was a big Islanders fan. This is common, just as many from my generation like the Cowboys, Steelers and Dolphins. And front-running 9-year-old that he is, my son Cole is all about the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Since his team didn't practice yesterday in the aftermath of their home pasting by the Panthers, Scott Gordon exercized his vocal cords today at the morning skate. He made the boys start a drill over and got loud a few times. On one occasion, he yelled, "Shoot the puck"! It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.
No shootout goal tonight for Jeff Tambellini. He and Bruno Gervais are scratched.
The lines from today's morning skate at the Garden:
Moulson – Tavares – Comeau
Joensuu – Schremp – Hunter
Bailey – Nielsen – Okposo
Sim – Thompson – Park
Streit – Meyer
Sutton – Hillen
Witt – MacDonald
The Rangers' lineup that put up 46 shots on Monday against Atlanta remains tonight:
Higgins – Dubinsky- Gaborik
Prospal – Drury – Callahan
Avery – Anisimov – Kotalik
Brashear – Boyle – Lisin
Staal – Rozsival
Del Zotto – Girardi
Redden – Heikkinen
Voros and Christiansen are out. Donald Brashear doesn't have anyone to fight, so I guess he'll try to keep the peace and score a goal.
Gordon said the difference is night and day with Jesse Joensuu since training camp, which he called a "nightmare" for the 6-4 Finn. "He's not turning the puck over all the time." Seems the kid was trying too hard to make the team and temporarily lost his way and his game. Gordon, asked by The Jaff for any comparisons to the size-and-skill game of Trent Hunter, said of JJ, "He's on his way to being that kind of player."
Goalie Prospect Depth Chart: There was a question in Comments yesterday about the Islanders' goaltending prospect pool. The serious hip injury to Mikko Koskinen may not have an effect because he was at least two years away from a steady shot at NHL playing time. So here it is:
1. Koskinen – Bridgeport (AHL)
2. Kevin Poulin (left) – Victoriaville (QMJHL)
3. Anders Nilsson – Team Sweden at WJC, SEL
4. Stefan Ridderwall – SEL
If Roloson or Martin Biron suffer an injury, Scott Munroe or Nathan Lawson would be recalled from Bridgeport to back up. Lawson's stats are slightly better, but Munroe has more experience. Neither would get much playing time, so they could go back and forth. Lawson shut out Portland last night, 2-0, in the game Rick DiPietro was originally scheduled to play as his final tuneup.
Koskinen, the rapidly-emerging Poulin, Nilsson and Ridderwall give the Islanders the depth and quality of young goalies they haven't had since Roberto Luongo and Kevin Weekes. Even with Koskinen's injury and DiPietro's continued plight, Ryan Jankowski shouldn't have to use any of his picks in the first three rounds next June on goalies.
Two for Canada: In case you missed it below, Islanders prospects Travis Hamonic and Calvin de Haan have made Team Canada for the World Junior Championships that begin later this month in Saskatoon. The NHL Network is broadcasting all of Team USA's and some of Canada's games.
Figren in Freefall: 2006 third round pick Robin Figren is already at a crossroads in the development of his North American career. He may only be 21 and in his first full season in the AHL, but you can call this a crisis.
On a not-deep minor league team in Bridgeport, Figren has become a healthy scratch. He has two assists in 22 games. This has become so dire, you almost have to assume there's a reason why the Swedish wing has yet to be sent to Utah of the East Coast Hockey League. Perhaps he is balking at the re-assignment.
Until then, Figren is not even a prospect any more. So much for the good kid who flashed some skill and a big smile at the prospect camp this summer. Sad.
Kohn Injured Again: In other Sound Tigers news, Dustin Kohn suffered a "lower body injury" last night in the home win over Portland. Kohn, the next in line should a Bridgeport defenseman need to be recalled, was evaluated this morning and listed as day-to-day. He apparently was hit in a sensitive area – like the sensitive area.
Red-Faced Report: Remember Kyle Woodlief, the former "scout" who took the opportunity to sell some of his pamphlets by ripping on John Tavares leading up to the draft? With Tavares leading all NHL rookies in points and assists, let's recall some of Woodlief's greatest hits:
Right now, he's the third-best draft-eligible forward on his own team behind Nazem Kadri and Phil Varone.
Five-on-five, Tavares has been nothing short of a liability.
His attitude of entitlement stinks.
Let's try to remember this the next time Kyle uses another teenager to make a name for himself.
After the morning skate, Tavares gave the same kind of polished, respectful answers about playing in Madison Square Garden that he did about playing in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Sunrise, Raleigh…

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
Last weekend was Father's Day. Stores were busy as everyone hurried to find dad a great card or a great gift. Over the years, it has become a social and moral obligation to honor our fathers on Father's Day, but sadly, few of us really stop to consider the gifts our fathers have given us.
In my travels, I have come to understand that fathers learn to be fathers by watching the fathers they grow up with. Fathers are role models as much as they are anything else. Children notice every action, word, and deed. For good or bad, better or worse, fathers teach their children what it is to be an adult. It is a heavy responsibility and the consequences of a father's teachings can affect generations.
So today, I've decided to talk about the man who inspired me, and taught me how to be a father. My dad is a terrific father, and yet, like most fathers, he had no formal training. In fact, my dad is completely self-taught. His father died when he was just a little boy and his mother didn't remarry. Dad had to learn the fathering business by himself as he went along. He did very well, and in my humble opinion, he is the best father ever. Here is why.
If every man was like my father, we would live in a much different world than we have today. Almost everything would be different. There would be no wars between nations and no violent crimes on our streets. Women would be revered and children would be protected. Good manners would be the rule of the day. We could all trust our neighbors and children could play outside at night, happy, and unafraid. We wouldn't need courts, cops, judges, or lawyers. There would be no need for prisons, handcuffs, or security cameras.
If all men were like my dad, families would be strong and healthy. There would be very few divorces. My dad always keeps his promises. He honored his marriage vows and remained true and faithful through 62 years of marriage, a great example to his family and community.
If all men were like my father, there would be no abandoned or abused children. Dad fulfilled his obligations and met his family's needs in every way. I always felt safe and sheltered in his home. Every child deserves such a start in life.
If all men were like my dad, there would be no domestic violence. Dad didn't hit and he didn't yell. He was the master of his own emotions, and mercy and compassion were two of his many virtues.
If all men were like my dad, every child would feel wanted and loved. It would be expensive because we would have to expand the parking lots at little league ballparks and little girl's dance studios.
If all men were like my dad, our neighborhoods would be cleaner and friendlier places. Yards would be well kept, grass would be mowed, flowers planted, and buildings maintained. All neighborhoods would be pleasant places to live in and visit.
If all men were like my dad, the Ten Commandments would be the only law we ever needed. Congress could adjourn and go home, and good riddance.
If all men were like my dad, churches would be full and there would be no bad guys, brothels, or gambling dens. Contracts could be sealed with a handshake and there would be no pornography, obscenity, drug abuse, X-rated movies, or vile, rap music lyrics. There would be no mistreated animals or abandoned domestic pets. Everyone would feed birds in the winter and grow lovely gardens in the summer.
If all men were like my dad, there would be no litter along our highways and no graffiti anywhere. There would be no vandalism and no theft. We could all do without locks on our cars, homes, and storage sheds. Honesty wouldn't be the best policy, it would be the only policy.
Over the years, I've come to understand that we don't need to go to heaven to live in paradise. We could have paradise now if all men were like my father. Thank you dad. And to all of the other fathers out there who live by similar standards and teach those values to their children, may your tribes increase forever, and may your children call you blessed.

The next Sampler matches are now online, and are running 1-Flag CTF on Stonekeep.
1-Flag CTF returns from the original Quake 3 expansion pack Team Arena. A neutral flag spawns in the middle of the arena. Teams must pick up the flag, and deliver it to the enemy's flag stand. Two wrinkles are added compared to normal Capture The Flag: the ability to throw the flag a long distance instead of dropping it in front of you (look for the prompt below the flag icon on the HUD when you're holding the flag!) and the ability for flags to be boosted by jump pads and teleported when touching portals.
As always, the Sampler servers are available in limited capacity, so look for matches named "1-Flag CTF Sampler" and enjoy!

(NEW Mandy Moore Update after the jump)
You don't have to be an indie buff to reap the benefits of Sundance. For those of you who aren't interested in movie hype or mad swag, we suggest checking out what the stars wear. The festival is an excellent place to snap up some cold weather, style inspiration from attendees like Mandy and Zooey.Up-and-coming actress Olivia Thirlby (in town for "Snow Angels" co-starring Kate Beckinsale and Amy Sedaris) demonstrated one of the biggest trends of Sundance style-mixing brown and black. Actresses merrily mixed the two colors up, carrying brown bags while sporting black boots or vice versa. Olivia also wore slim-fitting pants tucked into boots, a smart move because you don't add bulk to your frame nor do you get the bottoms of your pants wet in the snow.
Sienna Miller (starring in "Interview," directed by and co-starting Steve Buscemi) is seen here with a Chanel resin rose ring, Chanel bag, and the currently cute tunic-over-jeans look layered with a bright sweater for tromping around outside. She ditched the sweater to sing karaoke later. (PS: this is one time Uggs are appropriate)
Zooey Deschanel (in Martin Hynes's "The Go-Getter" made a mark in her cerulean blue overcoat and Wayfarers, while Keri Russell (in town for Adrienne Shelly's "Waitress") wrapped up in a big scarf.
Finally, we have Mandy Moore (promoting "Dedication," directed by one of our favorite men, Justin Theroux), looking luscious in Chloe shoes, wide-legged jeans, and a perfect winter white knee-length jacket. UPDATE: Mandy's jeans are vintage and her bag is by Coach.

Felines Bella and Lexi used to have 24/7 access to a bowl of cat food with a gravity dispenser, eating helping after helping because it was always there.
They didnt know when to stop, said the cats owner, Sara A. Cotleur of Watertown. They would eat too much out of boredom. The weight gain was so gradual that it was hard to notice.
The cats became fat, straining their vital organs. Bella weighed 20 pounds and Lexi 18 when Mrs. Cotleur and her husband, Justin A., took them to Animal Doctors veterinary clinic in Watertown earlier this fall. The cats, both 4 years old, had trouble going to the bathroom due to their weight and would cry in the litter box because of pain. Thick fat rolls made it tough for the felines to clean themselves, leading to skin problems. Theyd scoot their bottoms along the floor to scratch infected areas.
The Cotleurs situation isnt uncommon: 58 percent of cats and 53 percent of dogs are classified as overweight or obese by their veterinarian, according to a 2012 survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, which polled 121 veterinary clinics in 36 states. The number of overweight cats reached an all-time high in the survey, climbing by 3 percent from 2011.
It all starts at the bowl, when (pet owners) keep filling it up and cats keep eating, said Dr. Stephanie H. Young, an Animal Doctors veterinarian who developed a special diet for Bella and Lexi.
Dr. Young sends all of her clients who have overweight pets home with a measuring cup to emphasize the importance of portion sizes and encourages owners to find creative ways to exercise pets. For example, a laser pointer can be used as a cat toy.
Some people say they use coffee cups or bowls to measure food, but you cant be accurate doing that, Dr. Young said. About 80 percent of my clients have multi-cat households with a competitive atmosphere where (the animals) are competing for food.
Equally important is for pet owners to address weight problems before they spiral out of control, Dr. Young said. Posted on her office wall is a chart that includes a body condition scale of 1-9, with illustrations of cats and dogs ranking from light to heavy. Cat owners often wait until pets are obnoxiously fat before they seek professional advice, Dr. Young said, adding: They dont have a conception of whats overweight.
Due to a severe bladder problem, Bellas health was in jeopardy when she visited Dr. Young in July, and she underwent surgery. When Lexi visited in September, she weighed 18 pounds and had urinary problems. A series of body mass measurements determined her optimum weight should be 8 pounds.
This was an 8-pound cat stuck in an 18-pound body, said Dr. Young, who issued prescriptions for Bella and Lexi for Hills Prescription Diet cat food. The bags of dry food and cans of wet food include a weight-loss formula with high protein, which aims to boost metabolism.
The cats now are fed at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily and are only allowed to eat for 30 minutes at a time in areas made separate by plastic fences, Mrs. Cotleur said. They are given 1� cans of wet food each day, supplemented by a quarter-pound of dry food.
The Cotleurs already have noticed results from the diet: Bella is down to 18 pounds, and Lexi to 16.6. The owners said they expect their pets to be at their preferred weight of 8 pounds a year from now. The cats also take vitamins to keep their bones strong, along with other medications for bladder-related problems.
Although Bella and Lexi have suffered health woes, some felines can avoid them while reaching an extreme weight.
One of these animals is Kit Kat, a 4-year-old orange tabby cat with long hair who reached a peak weight of 22 pounds in May. Thats when owner Sonya N. Van Vechten, of Watertown, put her on a diet. Kit Kats two cans of Meow Mix each day were dropped to one.
The aggressive cat used to compete for dog food with the households Black Lab and American Eskimo dogs, but Mrs. Van Vechten is taking extra steps to prevent that.
Shell finish her food as fast as she can in the morning, then run over to try to get food from the dogs, Mrs. Van Vechten said. Additionally, The cat has a challenging time cleaning herself because of her weight, but she is given baths once every two weeks to prevent skin problems.
Mrs. Van Vechten is combatting Kit Kats weight problem without help from a veterinarian. She wants the cat to shed pounds before her husband, David E. Jr., a Fort Drum soldier now in Afghanistan, returns from overseas in January.
Id be concerned if she kept gaining weight, but shes still in good health, Mrs. Van Vechten said. I would like to see her lose 5 to 8 pounds. She has a large bone structure, so I think about 15 pounds is her normal weight.
Kit Kat has lost 1 pound since the diet started. Although Mrs. Van Vechten would like to see faster results, she said she is willing to be patient. Meanwhile, her 12-year-old son, David E. III, said hed like to get the cat back into shape.
When she was a kitten, she used to be an acrobatic king and jump in the air to catch birds, he said. She would bring in mice all of the time.
Dr. Alayana M. Rust, a veterinarian at Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Ogdensburg, said societys acceptance of overweight cats is the root of the problem.
Dr. Rust said some people mistakenly think cats are supposed to be big, fluffy house pets that sit around and do nothing. We typically think of this image as Garfield, she said.
One health risk that Dr. Rust commonly sees in overweight cats is a fatty liver syndrome. Cats that are put on diets need to have meal portions reduced slowly to avoid risk of the disease, she said.
Its a sign of a fatty liver if a cat stops eating or loses a lot of weight, Dr. Rust said. The body (transports) the fat that is stored into the liver, which makes them feel sick and not want to eat anymore. Left untreated, it can lead to liver failure and risk of death.
Dr. Rust said one of the most effective exercises for cats is to have owners place litter boxes and food bowls in different parts of the house, forcing felines to walk to burn calories.
The cat is one of the most difficult species to get them to do what you want, she said. But putting their necessities in life on opposite ends of the house forces them to move.
At Petco Animal Supplies on Towne Center Drive in Watertown, row after row of food can make it challenging for customers to zero in on the best choice, according to store manager Lindsay R. Schmidt. Numerous brands offer healthy weight cat food, which contains 10 to 20 percent less fat than more common varieties such as Iams, Merrick and Purina Pro Plan. The store even has a refrigerated and frozen food section that touts food and snacks made strictly with natural ingredients.
Customers should always check the ingredients on the label to see what kind of meat is included, Mrs. Schmidt said. When dog and cat food contains high protein with real meat ingredients, pets are less likely to feel hungry after meals.
People should grab bags of food and Google the ingredients to see what theyre actually feeding their pets, she said. Real food fills them up faster, and theyll get hungry less often. When you feed them less, theyll go to the bathroom once a day and be healthier.
Pets, particularly dogs, also master the art of begging, leading owners to feed them too many snacks and table scraps. That approach led to the obesity of Schwartz, a 10-year-old Chihuahua owned by Watertown resident Santina M. Lavancha.
The dogs weight had risen to 20.5 pounds when it was taken to Watertown Animal Hospital for treatment of arthritis and a collapsing trachea, which induced him to cough.
Schwartzs optimum weight is 8 pounds; his diet now calls for a quarter cup of food twice a day.
We used to refill his bowl often, and hed get a lot of table scraps every meal, Mrs. Lavancha said. Were really careful, but its so hard.

|Researchers have discovered that lung tissue contains taste receptors sensitive to 'bitter' -- though the receptors aren't clustered in 'taste buds,' and don't send any messages to the brain about the flavor of air. Writing in the journal Nature Medicine, a team of researchers at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins describe their investigations into the receptor discovery. Surprisingly, the receptors don't appear to be merely a defense mechanism against potentially harmful bitter compounds. In fact, the researchers found that when bitter compounds were introduced to mouse airways, the receptors could cause constricted airways to relax. The find, they say, could lead to improved treatments for asthma. We'll find out more.

Can anyone tell me how to use "cum" correctly, or should I avoid it as much as possible?

"Cum" usually means that something performs two functions. So a "bus-cum-greenhouse" wouldn't work (unless you're planning to drive the greenhouse around). A better example would be a "garage-cum-workshop." And yes, it's Latin for "with."

Creating a Coffee Blend With a Community at Table on Ten
Relationships make great coffee. From the farmers, to the roasters, specialty coffee folk speak reverently of relationship coffee, emphasizing the bonds that bring us closer to the origins of coffee. But there are relationships on the other side of the coffee economy, closer to the point of consumption. But once a coffee has reached our roasting facility the number of people directly engaged in fashioning a finished product—say, a new blend or a roast profile for instance—is limited. Most of our customers, as they come to understand more of the labor that goes into roasting, profiling, and blending, are satisfied to choose from the coffees on a cupping table. We seek out—and work best—with partners who are as dedicated to their crafts as we are to our coffees. And they treat our, now their, coffee the way they treat everything else on their menus. But now and then a special customer comes along who wants to go deeper into the process with us.
Our friends at Table on Ten in Bloomville, NY—who seem to have direct lines of communication not just with their local producers, but with the produce itself—are one team for whom buying great coffees was not enough. They expressed to us their desire to be more involved in the production of the coffee they feature in their cafe. And not just for themselves—they wanted the opportunity to involve their local community in the process, to get the whole town together to create a blend. We were admittedly scratching our heads at the prospect of formally presenting, judging, soliciting and recording public feedback on the half-dozen coffees being considered for a Table on Ten blend. Such exercises are usually conducted at the roastery or in our training lab, so we were a bit out of our comfort zone, but excited about the adventure nonetheless.
So, one Saturday in early October, Teresa von Fuchs and I drove out of Manhattan and north into the western Catskills, nervous, excited and uncertain about what we were getting into. Neither of us had been to Bloomville before. But what we walked into that night was one of the most immediately familiar and welcoming communities either of us have had the good fortune to be introduced to. We were greeted warmly as "the coffee people" about whom Inez and Julian had told them so much. We never expected our presence to be so celebrated as it was that weekend in Bloomville. We sat down to a dizzying array of five or six pizzas, each a different recipe, and each incredibly delicious. We shared our table with Julian's neighbors Cay Sophie and Christian, and it wasn't until the end of the meal that we realized Cay Sophie and Christian would also be our hosts for the night, after taking us to a bonfire, where we met more travelers who were also in the process of falling in love with this place.
Bewildered as we were by the welcome we received and by the wonderful sense of community crowded into this unassuming house on the side the road, we very quickly began to make sense of what Table on Ten was looking for when they asked if we'd help them and their town create their own coffee blend.
In the morning we set up on a table taking up much of of the microshop/cafe and began brewing. Table on Ten's only criteria for coffees to be considered were that they come from producers with whom we have strong relationships, and that their town tended to favor darker roasts, which reminded Inez of the coffees she grew up on. We had three coffees roasted with two different profiles and we brewed up batches of all six for any and all who ventured to taste.
There were lots of opinions and votes and tasting notes and smells and stories of coffees shared and loved and longed for. There was a whole family who came in for breakfast after celebrating a son's wedding the night before. There was a couple visiting from Holland. There were quite a few folks from the city who swore they'd have to move to Bloomville after spending a weekend in its thrall. After all the votes were tallied (maybe we weighted Inez and the Table's teams input a little heavier…) we blended the remaining small bags of coffee and A3 blend was born.
After much cleaning and shaking of hands, we set back out on the road. With tummies stuffed full of pizza, made from scratch, with ingredients grown by friends and family, baked in an oven built by hand, off tables made from the woods and falling-down barns nearby–we understood the meaning of relationships and local production to the very heart of the cafe, and were proud that our coffee had the extra touch of relationship-building tucked inside. In Bloomville we were reminded of the other beautiful of face of relationship coffee. For this and all our relationships in coffee, we are grateful to no end.

America Reads, a national campaign that was initiated in 1997, challenges every American to help our children learn to read well and independently by the end of elementary school. Nationwide, there are approximately 1200 colleges and universities participating in the America Reads Challenge.
Building on the success of the America Reads Challenge, America Counts was initiated in July 1999 as an effort to improve student achievement in mathematic and assist students in mastering challenging mathematics, including the foundations of algebra and geometry, by the end of the 9th grade. Nationwide, there are approximately 300 colleges and universities participating in America Counts.
NYU's America Reads program began in 1997 with the placement of approximately 700 tutors in 43 schools in New York City School Districts 1 and 2. Today, as schools prepare students for careers of the 21st century, NYU America Reads has grown to include mathematics tutoring, expanding the program to NYU America Reads & America Counts.
Currently, approximately 800 tutors are placed in 80 schools in New York City School Districts 1, 2, 4, and 13. These dedicated NYU undergraduate and graduate students provide approximately 10,000 hours per week of academic assistance to students in grades Pre-K – 9, at no cost to the participating schools.

Strathmore is a suburb of Melbourne, in the State of Victoria, Australia. It is located approximately 10 kilometres to the North West of the centre of Melbourne, part of the Local Council of the City of Moonee Valley.
After 13 years since the original launch of the site it
was time for major overhaul, with a new look. All the
original features remain: the history
section; the nostalgia
page; the photographs;
and the links to other locally
based websites.
One of the new features added to the site is a notice board and marketplace application. This application can be used by the residents and traders of Strathmore for a number of different purposes. Residents can post notices for the sale of unwanted goods. Local traders can advise of their specials. The application can also be used as a notice board to advise the community of upcoming events, be it a garage sale, fete or sporting event. It could be used to advise of missing pets, or of local training courses.
I hope Strathmore residents will find the site to be
useful and informative. Please bookmark it for many
returns in the future.

My home is in Reno, Nevada, and it feels like a small town.

A Legacy of War Endures
The reality of war has had a profound influence on my life. This influence is hard to see. In fact, it's invisible. I would have kept it hidden if I hadn't read Clay Sellers' August 26 post, "Beyond the Clouds of War: A Faint, Silver Lining." His writing inspired me to explore the complexity that a legacy of war has had on my...
Life and Death: So Intertwined

Dealing with Complexity, Dogs, and Fearful Neighbors
I have a problem with my neighbors and it's bothering me more than I like to admit.

Our problem may sound simple, but it's a complex situation. So I decided...
Public Service and the Need for Systemic Interventions
I am rethinking complexity.

I go Brikwars celibate for all of a few months, get back and someone has put me in charge of something (I'm guessing our resident Goderator Natalya, and only because I've never incurred the wrath of the banhammer launching space-mech she lives in). Anyway it seems odd not to lay down rules, but personally I've never enjoyed rules, so seeing this is the 'advice' sub-sub forum, look at these as more guiding principles.
6) Any question goes (more or less), reagrdless of intellectual level
7) Don't expect useful answers to any questions you post
8) Really no one does give two golden shits about your problems
9) Grammar is optional but appreciated, prose in threads is classy
10) Normal forum rules still apply, this isn't thunderdumb
11) This is the internet. All bets are off

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Playing in the 1A classification may seem like it would be an easy task for some, but the competition is stiff and coming by victories is just as difficult as it is in any of the other classifications in the state.
Add to that generally much longer bus rides to meet on the athletic field or court and another factor kicks in.
With that in mind the East Carbon girls basketball team took the long ride to Wendover last Thursday. They then won their first game of the season as well as their first league game as they beat the Wildcats 35-27.
However the boys team stayed home on Friday night and met a strong St. Josephs team from Ogden and ended up losing 64-34.
Go figure.
The Lady Vikings took the lead from the Wildcats in the first quarter of their game and never looked back although they did come close to getting tied later in the second period. The East Carbon girls put up 10 points while they held Wendover to only six during the period.
The second quarter was a disaster for both teams no matter how one looks at it. Wendover again only scored six points but the Lady Vikings were only able to manage 3 putting the score at halftime 13-12 in favor of the visitors.
East Carbon managed more in the third quarter as they put in seven points and then topped that with 15 in the fourth quarter while keeping the Wildcats entire output to 15 for the entire half.
The leading scorer in East Carbons first victory of the year was Samantha Madrid with 10 points, while Amanda Hepworth and Janet Lowe each put in eight points.
In the boys game on Friday night, East Carbon just couldn't manage to get a good enough scoring handle on the ball to handle the Jayhawks.
In the first quarter the kids from Ogden jumped right on the ball and ended up leading at the period break 11-6.
In the second period the Vikings improved their scoring consistency considerably by putting in 12 points, but they also allowed the Jayhawks to score 15.
While neither of the first two quarters were good for the Vikings the third quarter was a disaster. St. Josephs ran wild scoring 26 points while holding the Vikings down with crushing defense to only 7.
For all intents and purposes that took the life out of the game and both teams kind of struggled to get to the end of regulation time.
East Carbon was led in scoring by Kyle Leonard and Sawyer Leonard with 12 each.
The girls team will play again Tuesday (tonight) at Dugway at 6 p.m.
The boys team is now idle until Jan. 7 when they travel to Trout Creek to play West Desert in their first league game.

Dr. Cameron I. Oba's Ratings
I have not been very happy with this office. I've been a patient with the clinic for some years and my original doctor passed away. Now the practice is not run very well. The staff are very rude and unprofessional. I was waiting on a test result and received a message from the assistant who only said to call. I called three times, only to be put off for three days to find out that everything was fine. It's like we are on their time and we are an inconvenience to them! I think this medical office needs some drastic improvement in patient care and customer service.

Customer Service needs to strongly be worked on. Whenever I call in the person receiving the calls (more than once) has been rude and unprofessional. There is just a decorum with the assistants and phone service that needs to be improved.

Dr.Oba is ok if you can get to him. the support staff is rude and uncaring and do not return calls.They mix up information on if a test is in or not and then you dont hear anything back. You are the one that has to continually follow up. Not good!

The staff, including the office manager needs to learn a thing or two about good customer sercice. Doctor Oba is an excellent physician, but the front desk staff leaves a lot to be desired. They act as if they are doing patients a favor when in reality, patients are paying their salaries.

Lesson Three: Houses 10 to 12
10th house: contributing (Capricorn House - natural ruler Saturn)
The 10th
house describes our 'public face' - our public or professional image and position
in the world, our career or job, and our relationship to authority figures
such as our boss. It is the house of status, responsibility, authority, and
mother, to the extent that she was the authority in our lives, the rule-maker,
when we were children. The 10th house is the house of worldly ambition, describing
the kinds of achievements we seek recognition for.
Because it is also the house of the mother, it can also describe very accurately the ambitions our mother or our family have for us, their vision of what we can be in the world. More often than not, we find ourselves trying to fulfil our mother's ambitions and try to become what she wants us to become, at least to start with. For example, if your mother was a frustrated ballet dancer and you happened to have Venus in Leo in the 10th, you might find yourself becoming a ballet dancer because since, from the moment you could walk, you may have been taken to ballet classes. With Venus in Leo in the 10th house, this would be a way of gaining praise and recognition, not just in your mother's eyes, but in the eyes of the world as well. With Mars in the 10th house we may be ambitious and forceful, and seek to lead. With Saturn in the 10th we are likely to work hard to achieve the authority and respect we crave.
Audience: Is the sign important?
Clare: Yes, and it is always important to check on the positions of the planet or planets which rule the 10th house. This will give us more accurate and detailed information about the specifically individual expression of 10th house matters. The 10th house describes our attitude to authority and to worldly success and failure. It is also what we project onto the outside world. So, for example, we might see the world as demanding and critical, if we have Saturn in the 10th house or Capricorn on the cusp of the 10th. Or we might find the world scary and oppressive if we have Pluto in the 10th or Scorpio on the cusp of the 10th. Or the world may seem full of exciting possibilities and opportunities, if we have Jupiter in the 10th or Sagittarius on the cusp.
11th house: uniting (Aquarius house - personal ruler Saturn, collective ruler Uranus)
The 11th
house is traditionally the house of hopes and wishes, describing the ideals
and aims we have for the group, community or society to which we belong. It
is the house of political and social beliefs and of the causes with which we
are likely to become involved. The 11th house describes how we function as
part of a group or community, amongst our friends and colleagues. The natural
house of Aquarius, the most mature of the air signs, the 11th house is where
we engage with the world and others according to our ideals and principles
and hopes for humanity as a whole, respecting the rights of others, treating
them as equals, and allowing them the space and freedom to be who they are.
The 11th house is a good place to look if you want to understand more about
how you respond to group situations.
With Jupiter in the 11th house, for example, we are likely to find it easy to make friends because we expect everyone to be basically benevolent and gregarious. With Saturn in the 11th house, we are likely to be more cautious and take longer to make friends. Planets in the 11th house describe the sort of friends and colleagues we tend to attract.
Audience: I have Uranus and Pluto in the 11th house, and I try to avoid group situations whenever possible.
Clare: As a member of the Uranus-Pluto generation born in the mid-1960s, this indicates that you will have new ideas about society, and that you will want to break down the old structures and build again from scratch. You are likely to be very political, and even subversive, finding yourself impelled to challenge the way communities or collectives or groups are run, seeing them as corrupt and in need of revisioning.
Audience: That sounds much better, and it also explains why my best friends always seem to be involved in some sort of political activism.
12th house: merging (Pisces House - personal ruler Jupiter, collective ruler Neptune)
Now we
have reached the 12th house, we are almost back where we began. We have already
considered the 12th house as our experience of being in the womb and, as with
all water houses, this house describes our psychic inheritance and any unfinished
business we have inherited from our parents and ancestors. The 12th house does
not belong to time-space 'reality', because it has no boundaries. It is the
house where everything happens all the time, and where everything is connected.
There is no place here for the ego, which can only function in time, and so
it describes that part of ourselves which never fully incarnates or engages
with the world - the place where our dreams and fantasies hold sway, where
visions, hopes and fears inspire, support or paralyse our lives. It is our
bolt-hole, the place we escape to, whether psychically, emotionally or physically,
just to be alone and to heal ourselves. In the 12th house we can experience
a feeling of universal support, guidance and inspiration, which can in turn
help us to inspire and support others. Alternatively, this can be where we
are our own worst enemies, refusing to engage with the world, overwhelmed by
the 'going home project', seeking oblivion, dissolving ourselves in addictive
or other kinds of self-destructive behaviour.
People with a 12th house emphasis need time by themselves because they are like psychic sponges, absorbing everything which is going on in the environment around them, which can be overwhelming. The 12th house is where we merge, escape from our separateness and identify with that which is greater than ourselves - it describes our memories of life before birth and our feelings about life after death. It is the desire to retreat or to escape from the hard edges of the world; it is the pull of the monastic life, a life of contemplation and communion with the divine. It is the house where we replenish and heal ourselves in order to gain enough strength for our next venture into the real world. The 12th house is also the house of institutions, hospitals, prisons, monasteries, nunneries and retreats, all of which are containers which protect us from the world. It describes our relationship to such institutions.
Audience: I have the Sun in the 12th house, and this all sounds rather daunting.
Clare: Well, you are no doubt immensely sensitive to the environment around you, and I would imagine that you need plenty of privacy and solitude, to retreat from the world and be alone on a regular basis. When you do this, you will no doubt feel as if you are deeply supported in some way that is quite hard to define. It is worth remembering that the natural rulers of this house are both Neptune and Jupiter, so the 12th, like the 9th, is also the house of god, in the sense of being deeply connected on a mystical level. Your life will be embedded in the big picture, and you may well find yourself through working in any of the 12th house institutions I mentioned earlier. You are at home when you can flow and merge and dream, living in an imaginal world where everything changes all the time. I would also imagine that your father was somehow rather hard to get hold of - nebulous or absent, either physically or psychologically.
Audience: I have Uranus in Cancer in the 12th house, and I always want to be at home.
Clare: With Uranus in the 12th house, I think there is always a part
of us which refuses to believe that the 'real' world is all that there is,
and in Cancer it is likely that the home you are speaking of actually has more
to do with a memory of your spiritual home than any kind of home which can
be found here on earth. I also think that Uranus in the 12th house represents
access to spiritual guidance that provides us with a welcome sense of perspective
and detachment.

Comments about Jackson KVXT King V X Series Electric Guitar:
My brother surprised me with this guitar for Christmas. It's one of the most comfortable guitars Iv'e ever played!The one thing that I had a problem with was the wiring. I guess I got one with bad wiring. It had this horrible feedback and scratchy noise when I wasn't playing it. I bought new pickups for it and it fixed the problem since the pickups had new wiring. Overall, the guitar is fantastic!
Best Uses
Comments about Jackson KVXT King V X Series Electric Guitar:
PROS: Plays nightmarishly fast, fully adjustable bridge, neck-thru stability, solid tuners and EMG's (although these passive versions aren't to everyone's liking).
CONS: Massive fret buzz from the manufacturer (some of my frets remain this way without more intensive fretwork :/), pickups not grounded in the best way and leads to undesirable squealing at times.
PLEASE NOTE: NOT neck-heavy, NOT thin-sounding, NOT lacking sustain. ;)
Comments about Jackson KVXT King V X Series Electric Guitar:
Note: Rather than configuring my 30W Vox hybrid amp for this guitar, I played it in my "standard" configuration. This is my first review, but I plan to do more, and will use the same setup for each guitar (electric). I want to be reviewing the guitar, not the combo of the amp and guitar. I originally set this up as my perfect hard rock settings for a Custom HH Tele with two Seymour Duncans. It's on the "molton" setting with lots of gain and treble, a little less midrange, and moderate bass. I have just enough reverb to be noticed and am not using any other effects.
I've had this guitar for a few weeks now. I recently turned 40, and I hadn't played a V since I was about 16 or 17. I've always wanted one, and I guess this was a midlife crisis purchase.
At this point, I am *slightly* disappointed in the guitar. First, the EMG pickups...
I bought this guitar to have the perfect axe for my first loves: Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Ozzy, AC/DC, Kiss, Van Halen (pre Hagar), etc. The pickups are PERFECT for power chords. This is the absolute perfect rhythmn guitar for this kind of music.
However, I bought this to "shred," as my nephews would say. Playing lead, this guitar does well with the highest notes, say above the 10th or 12th fret on the B or high E strings. As you go down in tone, however, the sound becomes disappointingly weak. As hot as my amp settings are, I expected better. This could very well be from the amp settings (so much treble) and the lack of a compressor. However, my Epiohone Les Paul and HH Tele both outperform this guitar for playing leads on the same settings without pedals.
The sustain is also disappointing on this guitar. I guess you get spoiled playing a Les Paul, but the Telecaster has better sustain too. I will see what I can do with the amp to improve this.
One last thought, which doesn't affect my rating. Obviously, you need a strap to play this guitar, but the guitar is top heavy. As you switch from the higher frets to the lowest ones, the head has a tendency to "fall." It's not a big thing because you learn to anticipate it after a short while, but I felt that it was worth mentioning.
Standard features of high quality. It's got two EMG humbuckers, a three way selector switch, which is very smooth to use, two nice metal knobs: one volume and the other tone, and a hard tail bridge, which was one of the selling points of the guitar to me.
It all seems very well put together. I love having metal knobs over plastic. I have an Epiphone Les Paul and the bridge volume knob came loose within two weeks of ownership. This isn't going to happen on my King V. The pickup selection switch is much nicer too. The guitar is made of basswood, feels fairly light but solid, and has a very nice silver paint job.
All in all a good value. Very nice hardware assembled in India. Two complaints. 1. At this price level, I bought the silver, I think that a gig bag should come standard. I paid for one. 2. The setup was *terrible*. It took several full turns on the screw on both sides of the bridge to raise the strings enough to get rid of fret buzz. The worst I have ever heard.

Tampa, Florida -- Crews are making progress in the hours-long fight against a massive fire at a recycling plantnearPort Sutton Road at the Port of Tampa.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue says a heap of scrap metal at OneSteel Recycling went up in flames just after 4 a.m. Monday.
The core of the fire is still burning and will be for hours, although firefighters say they do not think it will spread beyond the piles of metal that are burning right now.
Thick smoke billowed off toward the southwest all morning. People as far away as St. Petersburg could smell the smoke and see a haze in the air.
OneSteel Recycling collects scrap metal from a range of sources, then they gather the metal in a yard in the southeastern part of the Port of Tampa.
Firefighters say that metal is the only thing burning at the moment -- no equipment or buildings are involved.
About a dozen fire units from Hillsborough County responded to the scene. Hazmat and air crews backed up the more traditional firefighters, clearing a safe space around the fire to keep it from spreading.
Obviously, there are many industrial products in use at the port, so controlling the fire was critical.That done, they focused on putting it out.
Crews from OneSteel are working side-by-side with firefighters right now.
Using pieces of heavy equipment with claws on the end, workers are picking apart the burning metal so water sprayed by firefighters can get in and really hit the pieces that are still burning.
There are a pair of giant cylindrical tanks here right next to where the fire is burning. Firefighters say they're full of a fertilizer ingredient that does not burn.
On the backside of the facility, there's a diesel fuel tank. Firefighters have stationed a truck right next to it to make sure it's protected.
We just talked with the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County. They say there are no health concerns right now with the smoke from this fire.
The wind is moving the smoke right over Hillsborough Bay, so there's a lot of open space for it to dissipate. We don't have any word yet on what started this fire.

Delia P. Lima
CUMBERLAND - Delia P. (Rego) Lima 92, of Cumberland, affectionately know as Dee, born in West Warwick, RI to Manuel and Teolinda (Silva) Rego; the eldest of twelve children. She was the loving wife of 66 years to Felix A. Lima.
Dee was a registered nurse, for more than 45 years, beginning her career at Notre Dame Hospital in Central Falls, RI, and later worked as a private nurse for Dr. Upton Savoie.
While continuing her nursing practice, Dee earned her degree in cosmetology. She would practice as a licensed cosmetician for many years, simultaneously with her nursing commitment.
Dee was a communicant of Our Lady of Fatima Church (Cumberland) serving as a CCD teacher for an amazing fifty-three years, teaching many of the children of her earlier students who had reached adulthood. She was also involved in the Parish as a Eucharistic Minister and served as ticket chairperson for numerous church functions and affectionately dubbed the ticket sale queen of Cumberland.
Always active in the Blackstone Valley community, Dee was a member of the Cumberland Lions Club; recently receiving the Clubs highest National recognition, the Melvin Jones Award... as a distinction for her humanitarian efforts.
Dee was an avid dancer, and with her husband/partner Felix could really cut a rug as the expression goes. Similarly, she was an accomplished bowler earning a multitude of awards.
Living in Cumberland for her entire married life, Dee established strong ties with the community. Her willingness to volunteer and offer others a helping hand are well documented. She was praised for her constant positive attitude and served as a role model for those who looked at life as a glass half full, rather than half empty.
Dee's love for children and willingness to help those in need, are just part of her legacy. She was very proud of having many friends, and having a husband of 66 years who together demonstrated what can honestly be called a rare and true love story.
It was her love of family (her son Wayne, granddaughter Stacy, and daughter-in-law Sharon) which made Dee really proud and shine.
Besides her husband Felix, Dee is survived by her loving son Wayne, daughter-in-law Sharon, and granddaughter Stacy of Lincoln; four sisters, Amelia Cavaco, Evelyn Andrade, Eileen Medeiros all of West Warwick, and Elizabeth Moniz of Florida; sister-in-laws and brother-in laws, and dozens of nieces, nephews, and godchildren.
A celebration of her life and funeral will be held Saturday at 9 a.m. from the J. J. Duffy Funeral Home, 757 Mendon Rd. Rte. 122, Cumberland. Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in Our Lady of Fatima Church, Fatima Dr., Cumberland. Burial will follow in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Cumberland. Relatives and friends are kindly invited. Calling hours Friday from 4 to 7 p.m.
