WADDINGTON – Alex V. Hammond and Austin D. Scott have each played the guitar since the second grade, but it wasnt until one afternoon while waiting for their sisters at Madrid Waddington Central School, that Mr. Hammond, then 11, passed a guitar to Mr. Scott, then 12, that they got the idea to start a band.
A short time later, Mr. Hammond and Mr. Scott recruited Jeffery L. Mott, drums, and Jacob M. Barney, bass guitarist, to form the band The Acoustic Brothers.
Since the band was formed in 2008, the four Madrid-Waddington High School students have played in over 150 gigs throughout St. Lawrence County.
It really does shock me, said Mr. Mott, 16. I never really counted, but it sounds like a lot. It doesnt feel like that, though. It really flew by.
Initially favoring the Beatles, the boys have branched out to play a wide range of tunes featuring a range of artists from the 60s and 70s. The band now plays many well-known classics such as Stairway to Heaven, House of the Rising Sun, Sweet Home Alabama, Hotel California, Folsom Prison Blues, and Free Bird.
Our one direction has been to stay with the classics, said Mr. Hammond, now 16, who is lead vocalist and a guitarist in the band. Those are the crowd pleasers. But we still have the look of the Beatles.
The band members have written several original songs and are perfecting them with the intention of recording a CD.
Our original songs are Over You and Big Dreaming, said Mr. Hammond. Over You is a country song, with a drum beat and classic style it can almost be described as rockabilly. It goes with music that we already play, so much so, that we have to remind people that its something they have never heard before.
The Acoustic Brothers have a following of people of all ages. The band has had their songs aired on the radio and several newscasts about them have appeared on TV. They have won awards and talent shows for their musical ability, including the 2011 Jules of Life St. Lawrence Talent Challenge champions.
The boys performed at two shows at the New York State Fair in Syracuse in September 2011 and will return to the fair this year on Aug. 26. The band will also perform Aug. 24 at Island View Park, as part of the Waddington Summer Concert Series.
People seem to love us up here, especially Waddington, said Mr. Barney, 16. Thats where we get our biggest crowds. Every small town wants to see their group become famous.
The boys have a website, where you can learn more about the band, and also book gigs: www.theacousticbrothers.webs.com.
Weve all considered playing professionally, but I am not sure what will happen, said Mr. Scott, 17. I do want to keep going with this band for as long as I can. Its really fun to do, and its been a huge part of my life for the past five years.
The Acoustic Brothers will perform at Island View Park from 6 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 24. In the case of inclement weather, concerts will be held at the Old Town Hall, Main Street. All concerts are free and open to the public.

The thru axle adapter clamps in the fork mount of an existing bike rack just as a standard fork would. Usually I will install the adapter with the bike on the ground and the adapter's tabs pointed down. Using this technique allows you to load the bike on the roof as you would any bike with a standard 9mm QR fork.
If your rack locks, that's great, you'll be able to lock your $59 adapter to your car. But the bike comes off with the same ease as removing your front wheel. If you want to use this adapter and lock your bike to the car you may want to consider a cable.

Viki Bowman, director of the Price Senior Citizen Council said this week that there has been an increase in frauds and scams affecting seniors.
Several phone solicitors, one example just this week, is requesting money to fallen police officers. Bowman has been receiving numerous calls from elderly people who are questioning the legitimacy of the donation or organization.
There are a number of things people in general can do when they receive phone solicitations for donations said Bowman.
"My first advice is to never donate over the phone," said Bowman, adding that she "recommends people in general decide that they will not contribute to an unknown fund or campaign over the phone."
Another couple of suggestions include asking the solicitors for their phone number and tell them you will check the group or organization out through the Better Business Bureau or the local law enforcement agency.
"If the group or campaign is a fraud this will stop them," said Bowman, "you can count on them hanging up if you ask for their phone number."
"People should also tell the solicitor to remove their names from lists," she added, saying that by law they are required to do this.
Bowman explained that seniors are often more vulnerable to these kinds of campaigns or scams because they are often home during the day and they are often lonely and like to talk to people.
"Besides," said Bowman, "they are people who grew up taking care of their neighbors so they often help."
Solicitors know these things and often prey on unsuspecting elderly people. Bowman also recommends never to give a credit card number over the phone.
Another example of fraud that occurs on a regular basis deals with contractors or repair people.
These door-to-door contractors are often licensed but they do rip off the elderly by doing more work tha approved or additional work and charging more money than agreed upon.
Bowman explained that they may be hired to do a specific job like fix the chimney but then the contractor sees that the fence needs repairing and do that too. and while they are working, By doing that they stack up a large bill that the senior feels obligated to pay.
"Basically these contractors are performing many other services that are not requested," she said.
Seniors and everyone else should be aware of this type of contractor and follow careful steps to prevent unwanted or surprisingly large bills. Bowman recommends that a service contract be drawn up and outline all the specific duties and costs. It is important to specifically say that any additionally services must be approved prior to being completed or they will not be paid.
Seniors can contact the consumer protection agency or local law enforcement agency if they suspect a fraudulent contractor. Bowman also says that all workers or contractors must be licensed and if they are not they should never be hired.
Bowman reminds seniors that is their responsiblity to check these people out.
"Do not open your checkbook to anyone, it is your money and you should do your homework," she concluded.

CANTON - Want help with depression? Ready to stop using drugs? St. Lawrence County Community Services is ready to assess your problems and start a treatment plan on a walk-in basis.
If clients are in a vulnerable place, the last thing we want them to do is wait, Community Services Director Angela M. Doe said. I want people to get better. What is most important to me is that people who need us can get to us. I think the reality is living in upstate New York creates some significant barriers to quality care.
For many years, mental health and substance abuse assessments were scheduled, leaving some people on a waiting list while others who had appointments missed them, sometimes because they got cold feet or could not get a ride. Therapists sometimes were left with time wasted waiting for a no-show client, which meant hours unreimbursed that could have been spent treating someone else.
When Ms. Doe took over the department in 2012, she wanted to expand access to care.
Open-assessment appointments in substance abuse at clinics in Canton, Ogdensburg, Massena and Gouverneur have been available for almost a year. For those seeking mental health services at the Canton clinic, open access for assessments came fully into place Dec. 9.
The wonderful thing about this is when clients present, they understand theyre going to be seen, Ms. Doe said. It gives them a sense of reassurance. The sooner theyre seen and their symptoms addressed, the greater the probability for their recovery.
Before the change, more than half of the dozen scheduled for mental health assessments in a week did not show up. In substance abuse, two people might show up out of five scheduled.
Mental health walk-ins started with the countys waiting list. Afterward, hospitals were notified of the change. Now a letter has been sent to all community support providers.
Were at a place where people in the community know were doing walk-ins, Ms. Doe said.
An initial appointment identifies all of a clients needs. Sign-ins generally are from 8 a.m. to noon. Clinicians are available from 8:30 a.m. until late afternoon. Most people do not wait more than 40 minutes.
All screening is done at the time of admission, Ms. Doe said. By the time theyre done with all the paperwork, the counselor is usually ready to see them.
The change has been an adjustment for staff, Ms. Doe acknowledged.
Its not the way weve been trained to have patients come to our office, but traditional approaches do not always serve the client, she said. This change is very new and change can be scary. Im proud of the staffs desire to take good care of people.

So word on the street is that RIM is releasing a Blackberry Storm 2. There is still no release date for the phone but currently it will be an upgrade to the Storm. Now the original Blackberry Storm did well. It was popular but like most new phones it wasn't without it's faults.
The new Blackberry Storm 2 will finally be getting Wi-Fi which was a major complaint of the first Blackberry Storm and it will be using the new 5.0 blackberry operating system that is being anticipated by many as a significant upgrade to the current operating system
Lastly and probably most important. According to BoyGeniusReport.com it looks like RIM is developing a GSM version this time so companies like AT&T will be able to carry it.
RIM has said that the new Storm will be out this year so for now all we can do is wait.

Comments about prAna Prism Capri Legging Closeout (Women's):
I thought the seam details on these capri's were really cute and that is what drew me to them. Unfortunately (and this could just be my proportions - 5'5" 125lbs.) they are kind of annoying. In order for the pants to sit right, the seams are all over my knees. They do not cause any serious chaffing or anything, but you can feel the seams as they are tighter, especially when bending your knees. Otherwise these are great. I fall between a Prana XS and S and bought these in a XS - I may should have bought a S.
- Waist:
- Feels true to size
- Inseam:
- Feels true to length
- Was this a gift?:
- No

how do you deal with chronic pain...

ANY sort of chemical pain meds make me an angry SOB....I assume they have the same effect on you?

there's no real way to not be angry about it...it's how you channel & deal w/ that anger that makes all the difference imo.
as far as reducing the pain...strength & mobility are key. sounds painful & most definitely will be in the beginning, but you must build back the strength in surrounding areas. strong muscles protect joints & bones. constant mobility is just as important. even healthy individuals without injury end up w/ pain & stiffness in certain areas from not moving & stretching enough. gentle yoga has done wonders for people.
if i were you i wouldn't try to do anything too intense w/o the advice or supervision of a dr/therapist. hopefully soon you'll be able to start seeing a physical therapist. it's not easy & requires a ton of patience, but i think it would greatly enhance your quality of life

I was actually just thinking to myself how grateful I am that my pain is mostly gone. Pain itself makes you generally miserable and lowers your tolerance for anything else.
Have you tried a chiropractor? Is it your hip?
I never really believed in chiropractors, but I tried one for my shoulder as a last resort and I am a true believer now.
This past week my neck was killing me after drilling overhead for 8 hours during the day... both times I stopped at the chiropractor on my way home from work and the pain was gone instantly.
Now, it did take almost a year to finally get to this point with regular adjustments and doing prescribed exercises, but the juice was worth the squeeze (I've been waiting to use that expression ever since I heard it not too long ago, thanks)... I'm really amazed because when you're in pain, it feels like it could never possibly go away but believe me it can.
I don't know the specifics of your problem... I hope it isn't too serious.
Oh, and the anti-depressant Cymbalta is indicated for chronic-pain relief. I'm sure it helps some people and not others. (It raises the serotonin in your brain like E, only all the time)
The opiates can give you a temporary feeling of elation, and the miserable mood is when they begin to wear off.
When you first start taking them, I believe you get miserable right away and sometimes sick.
The thing about those is, if you take half as much twice as often you get the same levals but without the swings.

but basically i have the opposite of arthritis...where my bone joints decay. theres no cure...ill always have it. and the hip is the most problematic spot for it to occur. the other joints dont require treatment...but the hip, being the hip...its obvious to see the sensitivity.
so basically, they drilled up my femoral head (which is that handle looking thing on the top of my femur which goes into my hip socket) and scraped out all the bad bone.
then they packed the hole with new bone they drilled out of my knee....bone graft'd
the problem is only 50-75% of it took....so when i walk around i feel like theres a bunch of jagged edges scraping against my hip socket. thats what hurts.
ive learned to walk and pivot in ways to minimize the pain...but sometimes i just see white
Posted 16 June 2012 - 06:13 AM
wish I had more advice for you. Have you tried Cymbalta? It might work.

oh and tray Pennsaid for the knee. It is a topical anti-inflammatory. You apply it several times a day and it does work.
and for the mood...well... like I said, Cymbalta. If you're having anxiety and you have a good doctor he or she can give you benzodiazepines such as Valium, Xanax, or Ativan.
But if you can't afford health care then you're totally fucked and we should start a donation fund or something.

pushing through pain way past the point where i feel like i cant handle anymore seems to be working. instead of me being in pain 6 days a week...im only bothered by it 1 day a week. ive definitely turned a corner here
What about those people wo hang themselves by hooks and swing around. They meditate and somehow do not feel pain. Same goes with fire-walkers.
Really sucks to hear you are in this situation Auggie. I have always found accupuncture to be a real help in relieving my chronic back pain whenever it becomes debilitating.
And hey, sometimes you just snap. Dont beat yourself up over it when it happens. Sounds excruciating, so I would understand.

I'm not sure where I read it, but in order to walk across hot coals successfully, they actually flip the coals over to the cool side before they walk... it's still hot but it won't give you third degree burns.

Making sure you have no nutritional deficiencies and are getting enough sun and sleep is important too. Don't let he Dr.'s brush you off. Ask for vitamin and heavy metal testing. My illness started as food allergies, arthritis and chronic pain and progressed to freaking Lupus attacking my organs.
Posted 18 October 2012 - 07:11 AM
If you've had a postive auto-anti-body or ANA/SSb etc tests,especially give the clay a try. Positive ANA is a proven reaction to spilled DNA by inflamed cells.
Also, if you have mercury fillings, get those out. I got all mine removed and it practically stopped my joint deterioration and it did actually stop my body from attacking my kidneys.

So....I am pain free now and don't have to take a single med anymore,not even ib profin! I even started long distance terrain running again! Still testing positive for auto-antibodies, but they are no longer high enough to classify me as having SLE/Lupus and not a single symptom left...and I am beter enough for us to be considered as an adoptive family now (my biggest motivator!)!
I am so thankful I did my own research and didn't leave things up to my Dr.'s! Please share this link and site with anyone you know of in poor health (he has free lectures on PBS, so you don;t have to join , just check your local pbs station for 'immunity solution' )!!!! If you have an Auto-immune disease you CAN'T have the gluten he allows.
Just a year ago, i thought my life was over..... now I got a second chance, and a rad, healthy body as a side-effect!!!! It's not easy, but it is a crap load easier than steroids, chemo and anti-depressants! Plus, the only side-effect is a lot of energy and looking younger!
I hope you are still reading this thread Capt_Morgan!

Please consider trying 'Eat to Live' by Dr. Fuhrman. http://www.drfuhrman...ry.aspx?id=1037 I have attached my success story he posted on his website about my journey to prove you can heal yourself.
I have beat every single disease my Dr.'s told me were chronic or terminal and have more vitality than when I was a teenager. I was told a year ago i would wind up completley disabled, possibly on kidney dialysis and not live a long life. Now I am studying for grad school admission tests, off all my perscriptions and was discharged from my specialists because I am now 'normal and healthy'. I miss drinking, smoking and pizza, but man, it's just not worth it. Life is way too beautiful to live it in pain!
Since I've been given this wonderful second chance, my new life mission is to help everyone I can live a pain free life. If you ever want to talk, or need some support, or advice, please message me and I will be happy to give you my email or FB and pass on the articles and research Dr Fuhrman sends me.
I would buy the book eat to live. It is a 99 percent vegan diet and it will not be easy at first, but YOU CAN DO IT! You owe it to yourself. If you don't want to buy the book yet, message me and I will send you enough info to get you started. I don't know you, but I would like to be your friend. I have friends and eve strangers who are now on the plan after seeing my success, we formed a group and we can all take and continue this journey together . You can wait to go off your pills until the diet starts lowering your inflamation and need for them.
Much love to you my friend. Stay strong and remember, you can do anything, including healing yourself! You are an incredible being and your purpose here is to do wonderful things without being in pain. *Big big hugs*

I'm sorry your pain has not gone away as I see this thread has gone on for over a year. Many of the suggestions are great, especially stretching because the muscles around a chronic painful area will shrink to protect the damaged site. Short muscles =pain. A good chiropractor will help you learn to stretch properly and will help you feel the subtle differences in position. also....
This may sound a little out there, but energy healing has a lot of followers (including me) and EFT is one great, free and natural thing to try. It's in the category of 'it can't hurt' so...I have fibromyalgia, screws and plates in my ankle fro a fracture, pretty severe arthritis in most joints, and when I can't partake in magical herb I EFT it. Do a little research on your own, but this guy (the link I sent) is my fav. EFT deals with the emotions behind the physicality of your problem.
I sincerely hope this helps, pain is a bitch.

LISBON The Planning Board noted at Mondays meeting that Code Enforcement Officer Christopher J. Sherwin attended only three meetings last year and failed to show up at the first meeting of 2013.
Weve started the year off with a code enforcement officer whos not here, Planning Board President Steven Wallace said. There are a lot of things that are not getting done by the code enforcement officer.
Mr. Sherwins position is part time, and he is not required to attend meetings, Town Council member Alan D. Dailey said.
I am very thankful that he has the time that he can give us, Mr. Dailey said. He was already trained, and we didnt have to pay the training.
Mr. Wallace said, however, that most of the towns past building inspectors regularly attended meetings.
Ive got buildings that are falling down near us that I know have been reported to Chris and nothings been done. Id like to know what the follow-up is and whats going to happen, Mr. Wallace said.
In the past, Mr. Wallace said, Planning Board members who drove around the town could report potential problems to the code enforcement officer, who would address those reports. But this isnt happening anymore.
Mr. Wallace said he raised the issue with Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong, and Town Council member Gary J. Jarvis said he will also look into the problem.
In the meantime, Mr. Sherwin has also applied for an open code enforcement officer position in the town of Morristown.
Mr. Sherwin could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

This pack contains one pair of disposable ear planes ear plugs. Good for outbound flight and return or next flight. Also great for mountain driving.
Recommendation: Do not reuse after two flights since pollen, dust, and moisture will reduce effectiveness.
This product works all the time, i would highly recommend this product. i certainly can hear better after using this ear drops. It had solved my problem. I would highly recommend this product.
I'm 65 and just started swimming again. These are the best earplugs I have ever used. However, they are expensive as you throw them away after use.
Block sound better than any foam earplug and don't irritate the ear canal like foam ear plugs do.
I have been using these wax plugs for years and I just cannot sleep without them now. They offer maximum noise protection for me. They are a little bit difficult to get used to but, I think, much better than foam. I cut them in half and roll them in my fingers before I put them in my ears. The trick is to push them in and build up a little vacuum in the ear canal.

Majority Democrats used their superior numbers in the Maine Senate today to reject statutory checks on the government's ability to restrict a person's religious practices. Modeled after federal legislation that has been adopted by 18 states, the bill is supported by members of several different faiths. Supporters claim the law is needed to ensure state government can legally justify positions that could be perceived as an infringement on religious rights. Opponents say the bill could lead to serious unintended consequences. A.J. Higgins has more.
Speakers on both sides of the aisle staunchly defended their positions on the bill, titled "An Act to Protect Religious Freedom," and claimed it had nothing to do with being a Republican or a Democrat. Republican Sen. Gary Plummer of Windham said that was the last place he wanted to go.
"I am told by some the idea of religious freedom has become a political issue," Plummer said. "I pray that this vote does not follow party lines."
But that's pretty much just what it did - despite the best efforts of Senate Republicans, whose floor debates frequently invoked the names of famous Democrats. David Burns is the bill's sponsor.
"The government should be held to a very high level of proof before it interferes with someone's free exercise of religion," Burns said. "I didn't say that - President Clinton said that."
And another example offered by Assistant Senate Republican Leader Roger Katz. "One of the other important co-sponsors was Sen. Kennedy, who talked about the brave pioneers who founded America and came here in part to escape religious tyranny," Katz said.
Republicans even invoked President Barack Obama's stated support for religious freedom. But in the end, LD 1428 was rejected 19-16, with all but one of the Senate Democrats on one side of the bill and the Republicans on the other.
Sen. David Burns, a Whiting Republican, says the bill is needed to provide a legal mechanism that would force state government to demonstrate a compelling interest standard when it chooses to take action that could be perceived as a restriction on an individual's religious rights.
If the state could not meet the standard, aggrieved parties could opt out of situations that might involve a person's right to wear certain clothing in the workplace, or not consent to state-ordered medical autopsies. Burns also said it could apply to religious groups -- such as some members of the Amish community - that do not wear blaze orange when hunting because it is perceived as a loud color.
"LD 1428 simply requires that the government has a strong justification for infringing on the free exercise of religion, which is exactly the kind of restriction government should have when they are dealing with fundamental rights, which this is," Burns said. "There are some who argue, however, that Maine citizens don't need LD 1428 to protect their religious freedoms as the First Amendment already protects religious freedom. The simple answer to that is, not like it used to ladies and gentlemen."
"We don't need this in Maine - we have strong protections, we have strong anti-discrimination laws," said Sen. Linda Valentino, a York Democrat.
Valentino is among those opponents who insist that the First Amendment already protects the religious rights of all Mainers. She worries that the bill could be used in ways to justify actions that are otherwise illegal in Maine.
During floor debate, the bill's critics speculated that as written, LD 1428 could be used to deny housing to same sex-marriage couples because a landlord's religion doesn't recognize gay marriage. Others, they said, might be inclined not to extend contraception prescriptions to workers because their religion promotes pro-life policies.
For Democratic senators, such as Chris Johnson of Somerville, the bill potentially posed too many unintended consequences. "What I do not support is the overreach in LD 1428 that would allow a person or an organization to violate the civil and individual rights of others based on the former's religious beliefs," Johnson said.
The bill faces additional votes in the Maine House.

Does paying off all indebtedness count?
Gork what your need to gork.
If I won that much money........I would first set up my entire family, and then book a couple vacations.
One for an extended vacation somewhere exotic and warm for the family where we do not take phones, watches, computers, etc. with us.
Already told my wife the second would be to Stevensville, MD where I would saunter into the Private Stock area and spend an obscene amount of money..........
Secretary of Crackwood Addiction
I thought about that a fair amount over the last few days. I'd decided I would take the lump sum payout and that I'd donate at least 50% (probably more like 60-70% since it got so big) to various charities and schools. Some immediate direct gifts and the balance into a charitable foundation where I could direct the gifts over the next several years.
As for a real purchase with what I (or the entity I create to claim the prize) keep? Raw land and lots of it. Why? Because they don't make it anymore. I've always wanted a big farm/plantation/ranch where I can spread out and not be bothered. Plus, everywhere you go they are bulldozing land to build the next cheesy planned community, big-box store or parking lot. It's feakin' disgusting. I think local governments should require developers to redevelop abandoned properties before they allow any construction on "virgin" land.
I can't answer the charity question, though I'd probably trust the Gates Foundation as they're doing saintly work.
More selfishly, I'd love to see a all analog/straight-to-tape hi-fi recording studio/record label recording live, unedited performances by current bands. This exists, but it's mostly just audiophile bands (more about the recording than the music).
Also, I'd quietly trade my black Subaru Outback in for a black Subaru Outback XT and drop it off at a tuner. No one would know the difference.
Hookers and Blow...
Self Explanatory...
My Gear
'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Well, before the party I'd pick out a really nice coffin.
After the party, I expect I'd need to use it.
I'd buy Markie's guitar collection. However, I might still need a loan.
Sh*tter's full

The latest global warming apocalypse about to befall us is (drum roll): giant blue crabs. Yes, according to the Washington Post, "It is the dawn of the super crab."
The April 7 Post story by Darryl Fears headlines the paper's "Health & Science" section. It warns:
Crabs are bulking up on carbon pollution that pours out of power plants, factories and vehicles and settles in the oceans, turning the tough crustaceans into even more fearsome predators.
That presents a major problem for the Chesapeake Bay, where crabs eat oysters. In a life-isn't-fair twist, the same carbon that crabs absorb to grow bigger stymies the development of oysters.
Over the next 75 to 100 years, ocean acidification could supersize blue crabs, which may then eat more oysters and other organisms and possibly throw the food chain of the nation's largest estuary out of whack.
Throw the food chain out of whack? Yes, according to Fears, increased levels of man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) — a naturally occurring beneficial gas that is an essential fertilizer for our planet's plant life, but which is increasingly referred to by enviro-activists and their media allies as "carbon pollution" — it appears, are responsible for yet another TEOFTWAWKI ("The End Of The World As We Know It") doomsday scenario.
However, before succumbing to Fears' fears, readers would do well to take a look at an analysis of the Post story by the always-enlightening Anthony Watts, the meteorologist whose WattsUpWithThat.com website has scored numerous takedown victories against scientific frauds in high places — especially as it relates to global warming, aka "climate change."
In his April 8 posting, "'Carbon' to blame for giant crabs," Watts points out the internal inconsistencies in Fears' story and the wild speculation that the Post writer transforms into "science" and "research" to justify the fearful TEOFTWAWKI conclusion.

Feed and production costs balloon, but milk prices stay low because of the way they are calculated. Its an irksome trend for dairy farmers in the north country and statewide that continues squeezing their profits.
But its a problem that Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has taken head on as a member of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee by introducing new dairy reforms she hopes will be included in the five-year federal farm bill that the agriculture industry hopes Congress will approve by the fall. The Dairy Income Fairness Act and Dairy Pricing Reform Act, to be introduced when the Senate returns to session next week, aim to restructure the milk pricing system proposed in the farm bill giving dairy farmers a well-deserved boost. Mrs. Gillibrand spoke to reporters about the legislation Tuesday during a conference call.
The law would help small dairy farms with 200 or fewer cattle adjust to the launch of a new margin-insurance program in the proposed farm bill, which is set to replace the current Milk Income Loss Contract program. Established when the farm bill was first proposed in Congress last year, the voluntary program is designed to help dairy farmers combat low milk prices and high feed costs. It would reimburse farmers when the difference between their costs and milk prices exceeds a certain threshold.
The act proposed by Mrs. Gillibrand would alter the supply management part of that program, which affects farmers who have margin insurance by restricting the amount of milk they can produce each year. The act would exempt dairy farms with 200 or fewer cattle from participating in that supply program, which penalizes farmers who produce more milk than planned during the year as a means to control the national milk supply. The proposal also would guarantee a minimum profit margin of $6.50 between the cost of national milk prices and feed costs for farms with 200 or fewer cattle. About 89 percent of farms statewide fall under that category. And to delay the onset of the margin insurance program, the act would extend the MILC program for nine months after the farm bill is approved.
Small producers shouldnt have to abide by the rules of production, Mrs. Gillibrand said. We want to give them more flexibility and help them maintain dairy production. And when you control the supply of dairy production, the likelihood of outsourcing increases, and we dont want to buy milk from outside the country. We want to keep the dairy production we have and allow it to grow naturally.
Mrs. Gillibrand also helped establish the Pricing Reform Act, a bipartisan bill that would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to start a public hearing process as a catalyst to overhaul the federal milk pricing system.
It would force the USDA to study various methods for determining milk prices, such as competitive-pay pricing or shifting from a four-class to two-class system.
Mrs. Gillibrand contended that New Yorks dairy industry continues to suffer from what she describes as a severely flawed milk pricing system. Statistics show New York dairy farms have lost about 65,000 cows from 2002 to 2012, according to the USDA. The north country lost 18,200 cows over that period, as the cattle count dropped from 138,600 to 120,400.
The north country has lost a lot of dairies because of (poor) market protection, and people are wondering why farmers continue to be paid such a low amount for milk, she said. We need to come up with a new pricing system that accurately reflects todays prices of feed and production.
Mrs. Gillibrand is also spearheading the following reforms:
n The Democracy for Dairy Producers Act (included in the 2012 farm bill that passed the Senate last year but not the House of Representatives): would hold dairy cooperatives accountable by requiring them to provide notices to members when they engage in bloc voting. It would also require them to make proposed milk-marketing-order reforms public by distributing it to members and posting it on a website.
n Cold Storage Inventory Reporting: Cold storage facilities are not required to report dairy products to the USDA Natural Agricultural Statistics Service and only do so voluntarily. This has created a volatile environment for dairy trading on cheeses in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In February 2009, for example, the USDA reported that cold storage inventories were inflated by about 9 percent.

(Editors Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared as the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth approaches in 2011.)
Today, for those that have lived in the area for a long time and those who were born here, it is hard to imagine Price without the city hall and civic auditorium as it sits the corner of 200 East and Main Street today. But as with all things, at one time the seemingly old building was once brand new.
The idea for building the building was first proposed to the city council in February of 1936 by a committee representing the Price Kiwanis Club. At that time a committee consisting of Charles Ruggeri, L.R. Eldredge and Claude Empey proposed the idea of building a civic auditorium that would house the city offices, a recreation center and garages for the cities two fire trucks. The plan presented was to utilize the corner where the existing city hall (built in 1895) was located. The cost of the building was projected to be about $200,000 with some money coming from the city and some from the federal government.
In March the Price Chamber of Commerce got behind the proposal saying that they were in favor of "supporting a campaign pointing toward securing adequate municipal auditorium quarters for Price."
How much all this was a reaction to the fact that Helper was building an auditorium for their citizens was not noted in the papers of the time, but it probably played some role, in that the towns were in a rivalry over many things in those days.
In April of that year, the city council approved having the architectural firm of Cannon and Fetzer draw up some preliminary plans for the building. During the planning stages and the examination of the project, it was found that $200,000 was not enough to build the proposed building as proposed so the recreation section of the building was taken out of the plans. The city also applied for $130,000 to the Public Works Administration (PWA) for funds to help with the project.
A year later the PWA had approved the request and the city called for a special election for a bond of $85,000 to complete the finances for the project. Just before the special election (held April 2, 1937) the city fathers asked citizens to support the bond through an announcement in the Sun Advocate.
"It is contended that the new hall will aid Price in developing its convention program," stated the announcement. In retrospect for years after the city built the auditorium it did get a number of conventions that used the facility for their meetings. The bond passed 212 to 42. The small turnout for the election was deemed a overwhelming vote for the idea of building the structure because as the paper at the time put it "that the success of the issue was considered such a certainty that voters did not even bother to visit the polls."
By September the city offices in the old hall had been moved to the basement of the Carnegie Library (located at the time where the Peace Garden is now). On Sept. 9 crews began to tear the old building down, with the first brick from the building be removed by Arthur Horsley, who had been the superintendent of construction that building and had laid the first brick for the structure in the fall of 1895.
In January of 1938, 13 bids were opened for the construction of the new building. The bid was awarded to the firm of Faucett and Pessetto for a total of $139,993. Work began on the preparation and foundation in mid-January and in April the cornerstone to the building was laid in a formal ceremony.
Initially, because of cost and as noted earlier, the gymnasium was left out of the construction project. However Mayor J. Bracken Lee was adament that the facility be constructed and had city personnel apply to the PWA for more money for the addition. That money came through before the construction on the main building was finished and Faucett and Pessetto got an additional contract for $29,900 to put that addition on.
In late November the city offices were done and the city staff moved into the new building. The city council held their first meeting there on Nov. 21.
So as the temperatures dropped into winter and January of 1939 (which became a year for low record highs) came along the finishing touches were being put on the building.
By February it was done and the dedication took place late that month, with officials from around the state attending.

LINCOLN – Starting out as a freshman student in high school can be much easier if there are a few familiar faces at the school when the first day of school arrives.
That's why Lincoln High School Principal Kevin McNamara, staff members of the school and upperclassmen were out in the school's parking lot on Wednesday for the annual Freshmen Roar night.
Freshmen and their parents could meet the students' teachers, take a tour of the high school, and also sign up for extracurricular activities such as sports or afterschool clubs.
Karen McNally and her son, Gerald, 14, were looking through the activities tables when they came across history teacher Frank Yip talking with students and parents near the Ski Club table.
Gerald asked about a chess club and was happy to hear Yip say he would set one up just for him.
"He's actually going to start a chess club after Gerald talked to him," McNally said. Gerald himself said meeting Yip helped him feel better about starting at the new school. Gerald also got a chance to talk with Heidi Godowski, an assistant principal at the school, and that added to the list of faces he would remember on opening day.
"I was somewhat quite nervous about it but now not quite so much," he said.
Over at the National Honor Society table, Victoria Albanes and her fellow society members and the organization's adviser, Michelle King, were getting a new mentoring program for freshmen started.
Students recommended for the program by their eighth-grade teacher would be assigned a student mentor who would then be available to help them make the transition to high school life, according to Albanes.
"We are really going to be checking on them during advisory and when they are between classes," she said. The program is a new one for the honor society students and one that Albanes thinks will help the freshmen. "They are going to have a friendly face that they know when they are in the hallways," she said.
King said the new mentoring program is a great way for the new high school students to start learning about their school and meet some people they will encounter on a daily basis.
"First and foremost, it is a program that comes from the Honor Society and comes from the kids," she said. "They will help them find ways to make the transition easier."
The experience is also a good one for the honor students, since they are helping out in their school, she added.
"They are working with kids in their own high school, and it is a great place for them to start working in community service," she said.
McNamara said the Roar was expected to help the just over 200 ninth-graders at the school have a great start to the new school year.
"It's an opportunity to get a tour, meet some of the teachers, meet some of their guidance counselors, and also to sign up for some of the activities we have at the school," he said.
"Most important of all, they come here to get their schedule for classes," he said. The evening also included some fun events like a scavenger hunt, and also had entertainment and refreshments.
"It is a great event and one of my favorite events of the year," McNamara said. "I look forward to meeting the members of the Class of 2017."
On Wednesday, the freshmen will show up at the high school and have the building all to themselves for one day.
The school's upperclassmen will arrive the following day to start their new school year, he said.
School Superintendent Georgia Fortunato also stopped by the Freshman Roar and said it showed what kind of staff works at the school.
"This teaching staff at the high school is second to none," she said while looking over the many tables set up to help the freshmen.
She also commended the community of Lincoln for providing its children with the "many opportunities" available at the high school.
Teachers were back for two professional days during the week and also are set to start a new school year, according to Fortunato.
"Everything is ready and I know we are going to have another successful school year in Lincoln," she said.

A page, coughing and wheezing, runs into the ANSC chamber.
"A resolution proposed in the AN General Assembly has asked the ANSC to deploy peacekeepers and economic sanctions to the members of the Third Alliance. See the resolution for details. The council should discuss these actions.
Also, several members of the Third Alliance have left the Allied Nations, including some in this body. If they do not return after we resolve this issue, new elections will be held, but not right now."
