Dominica (pronounced Dom-in-EEK-a) is a mountainous island of volcanic origin of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean, south of Guadeloupe and north of Martinique.
Parliamentary democracy.
Explored by Columbus in 1493, Dominica was claimed by Britain and France until 1763, when it was formally ceded to Britain. Along with other Windward Isles, it became a self-governing member of the West Indies Associated States in free association with Britain in 1967.
Dissatisfaction with the slow pace of reconstruction after Hurricane David devastated the island in Sept. 1979 brought a landslide victory to Mary Eugenia Charles of the Freedom Party in July 1980. The Freedom Party won again in 1985 and 1990. The opposition United Workers' Party won in June 1995. In 1997, Dominica became the first Caribbean country to participate in the work of Green Globe, aiming to make Dominica a model ecotourism destination. Although the island is poorer than some of its Caribbean neighbors, Dominica has a relatively low crime rate and does not have the extremes of wealth and poverty evident on other islands. Economic austerity measures, including higher taxes, were introduced in 2002. Massive protests followed.
In parliamentary elections in 2005, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit's Dominica Labour Party won 12 of 21 seats.
A New President Is Chosen Despite Boycott
In September 2012, Parliament chose Eliud Williams, a former government administrator, to replace Nicholas Liverpool as president. Liverpool resigned due to health reasons. The United Workers Party, the main opposition party, boycotted the election. The party planned to take the issue to court, claiming that the election process was unconstitutional. Despite the boycott, Williams was expected to remain in office until October 2013, the date of the next general election.
On September 30, 2013, Charles Savarin was elected president in a 19-0 vote by Parliament. Once again the opposition boycotted the election. A member of the Dominica Labour Party, Savarin had previously served as Minister for National Security, Immigration, Labour and the Public Service.

The College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum has achieved accreditation by the American Association of Museums (AAM), the highest national recognition.
Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, governments, financial supporters, outside agencies and the general public.
The museum initially began the accreditation process in 1991. All museums must undergo a re-accreditation review at least every 10 years to maintain accredited status.
AAM accreditation is the field's primary vehicle for quality assurance, self-regulation and public accountability, according CEU museum officials.
Accreditation earns national recognition for a museum's commitment to excellence in governance, collections stewardship, public programs, financial stability, professional standards and continued institutional improvement.
Developed and sustained by museum professionals for 35 years, AAM's accreditation program strengthens the profession by promoting practices that enable leaders to make informed decisions, allocate resources wisely and provide the best possible service to the public.
"We have one of the finest institutions in the country. Museums have changed how they operate greatly over the last 10 years. We have a highly talented and dedicated staff that make the museum unique among small museums and a treasure for our local community, students, tourists and international researchers alike," said director Reese Barrick. "The staff has worked diligently to build upon the foundation set by museum founder Don Burge and the multitude of volunteers over the past 48 years."
Of the nation's estimated 17,500 museums, 775 are currently accredited. Of more than 250 in Utah, five have achieved the distinction.
The CEU Prehistoric Museum is one of only two accredited community college affiliated facilities west of the Mississippi.
"Accreditation is emblematic of an institution's commitment to public service and to overall excellence," said Ford Bell, AAM president. "Attaining accreditation involves taking a hard look at yourself, allowing your peers in the field to do the same, and being judged to be superior in all areas. The people of Eastern Utah can take great pride in the fact that their local institution is one of America's premier museums."
Accreditation examines all aspects of a museum's operations. To earn accreditation, a museum must conduct a year of self-study then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. AAM evaluates the study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation The process generally takes three years.

Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Friday, January 20, 2012
A little more than a year ago, a student came by my office with an idea. She had just attended a professional conference in her academic field of study, speech-language pathology. At the conference, she went to a session highlighting a specialized service in her discipline that was being offered elsewhere. She thought it would be a great addition to her academic program here, as well as provide a needed resource.
Another student in the program had also attended the session, and met with the Program Director of the Ewing Speech and Hearing Clinic here at Ithaca College. The two students were very interested and very passionate about the possibilities, and encouraged a series of meetings that led to a unique collaboration - a new service that will launch this semester!
The Voice and Communication Modification Program for People in the Transgender Community is a collaboration between the Sir Alexander Ewing Speech and Hearing Clinic at Ithaca College, the LGBT Center at Ithaca College, and Planned Parenthood. This program will focus on developing voice, articulation, language, non-verbal communication, self perception, and voice related quality of life, and is open to both male to female and female to male transgender people.
The new program will provide a strong resource to the community by providing the most current treatment methods in the area of transgender communication, as well as provide experiential learning opportunities to graduate students who are obtaining their Master of Science degree in the area of Speech-Language Pathology at IC.
The group is offered at no charge for IC students, faculty and staff, and to family of staff and faculty. Community members that do not fit into the above categories will pay a nominal fee. Please contact the Ewing Clinic at 607-274-3714 for more information. Additional info is available, as well as the program brochure.
If you or someone you know may be interested in this service, please encourage them to contact the Ewing Clinic for more information.

St. Lawrence NYSARC will have a series of public forums on its plans for a public transportation system in St. Lawrence County.
The purpose is just to go over the schedule, passes, how to recognize the buses and to let people know whats going on. I just want it easy for people to understand. Thats our goal, said Jerry M. Filiatrault, NYSARC director of operations. In about four months, Ill probably do it all over again to see how were doing.
The county Board of Legislators approved a proposal in December under which NYSARC will provide public transportation on routes it travels for its clients. NYSARC has more than 30 routes that go to about 40 sites.
Budgetary constraints had previously convinced legislators to end the bus service that had operated through an agreement with the state Department of Transportation and Roethel Coach Lines, Ogdensburg.
NYSARC is shooting for May 21 as its startup for the public.
We realize were going to have to tweak some things, Mr. Filiatrault said. I dont think were going to start off with a perfect system.
A ride will cost $2, half the charge under the previous system. Purchasers of long-term passes will receive price breaks.
The system will be called St. Lawrence NYSARC Connecting Communities St. Lawrence County Public Transportation. Examples of the logos that will appear on the buses will be at the meetings so that participants can recognize it.
A website is being developed but may not be ready by the May 21 start date.
The meetings are for staff, community leaders, government representatives, organizations and customers. Space at each meeting is limited to 20 people, but NYSARC will have additional meetings if there is interest.
Meetings will take place at both 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on all dates.
They will take place Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at NYSARCs Operations Center, 6 Commerce Lane, Canton, and on Wednesday and May 21 at the agencys garage annex, 63 Main St., Norwood.
To register for a meeting, call 379-9531 or 353-6618.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Team Green is growing, as community residents and officials gather in larger numbers every month to discuss the best ways to create a comprehensive recycling system in the Carbon County area.
Marchâs meeting, conducted Tuesday, was themed planning ventures as the group tackles a massive problem. They began phone conferencing with the Recycling Coalition of Utah, who supports the environmental effort throughout the state and helps organize recycling efforts for individual communities. The group agreed to join the coalition and begin attending their functions in order to better educate themselves about the challenges presented large scale recycling efforts. The Governors Office of Economic Development backs the coalition because of their ability to keep enviromental regulations satified while simultaniously allowing for newdevelopment.
According to association officials, certain statistics have the nationâs recycling at nearly 20 percent of their total waste, however, the association stipulated that those numbers can be inflated easily and do not accurately represent the actual numbers. In the same statistical review, Utah is listed as only recycling around 2 percent of their refuse, a number which is also in contention.
Currently assisting the group is local paper and aluminum recycling firm RJ Recycling who has been with the team from itâs inception and continues to coordinate both industrial and private pickups of recyclable materials.
âWe are working on garnering the equipment needed to pick up different materials,â said an RJ representative. âBut the machinery is expensive and we need to see a strong community effort in place to make the purchases possible.â
According to Carbon County Economic Development Director Delynn Fielding, the most important issue concerning the materials recycled is that the community keep the project economically feasible.
âThis needs to be economical and economically viable,â he explained. âIf we get ahead of ourselves and start putting labor and maintenance into this too early we are going to run into trouble. The places I have seen be successful with these kinds of ventures have had individuals doing the sorting on their own.â
Commissioner Bill Krompel, agreed with Fielding, stating that cost is the major factor stopping more recycling from going on at the countyâs landfill.
âWhen we recycle used waste tires, federal environmental quality boards pay for the transportation needed to move those tires to sites on the Wasatch Front,â said the Carbon commissioner. âIf we werenât subsidized that recycling could not take place. Economics are vital to this issue.â
Taking that into consideration, the team moved on to discussion concerning the creation of a community point for recycling bins, versus having home owners look into purchasing their own small units that would be gathered up on days differing from their regular refuse pickup schedule.
To garner an even further understanding of the the waste situation in Carbon County, team officials contacted East Carbon Development Corporation official Jeff Green to schedule a tour of the east county waste disposal facility.
The team left the table with a great amount of research to be done. Recycling officials will determine the cost of community bins versus the cost of household containers as well as researching the logistics of how each system would be picked up.
Other team members are working on finding out just how much local interest there is in recycling and to what lengths the average citizen is willing to go in order to serve the cause.
âIdeally we are looking to go all the way with this,â said team chairperson Jeanne McEvoy. âOur goal is to significantly increase recycling in the area and create a local recycling center of our own. I realize that these are long term goals but I think our community is ready to make the changes necessary to help our environment.â

Swimmer's Ear
Swimmer's Ear Overview
Swimmer's ear (also called otitis externa) is a painful condition of the visible or outer portion of the ear and ear canal (outer ear). The ear canal is a cylinder-shaped structure that extends from the outer part of the ear, above the ear lobe, all the way to the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The typical size of the canal is about 2.5 centimeters in length and 7-9 millimeters in width.
The main function of the ear canal is to protect the middle ear from infection and entry of foreign objects. This function is accomplished by the length of the canal, making it difficult for objects to enter. In addition, the outer portion of the canal produces ear wax (cerumen) that helps trap debris entering the ear. It also produces an acidic environment that may be harmful to bacteria entering the ear. There is also hair in the ear canal which provides an additional barrier against debris entering the ear.
Males and females of all ages are affected by otitis externa equally, but children and teenagers most frequently develop this type of ear infection. Up to 10% of the population may develop this condition in their lifetime. Children are most often affected as they routinely spend more time in the water swimming, etc. during vacation periods than adults. However, competitive swimmers and adults that are frequent swimmers can be disproportionally affected as well.
Most of the time, swimmer's ear is easy to recognize and easy to cure with home care and, if necessary, a visit to a health care professional.
Because the condition occurs most often during the summer with exposure of the ear to water while swimming, many people call it swimmer's ear. Water from a bath or shower can trigger the condition, too.
People with diabetes or those whose immune systems are weakened can develop a more worrisome form of the disorder that might require hospitalization for intensive medical treatment. This is referred to as malignant otitis externa, and is not related to swimmer's ear, per se. If a person is concerned about malignant otitis externa, an evaluation by a health care professional or an emergency department is imperative as this can be a serious condition. Although the two entities sound the same, they are distinctly different and also are managed differently.

Mets owners get $700 M in loans to refinance debt, and what it could mean on field
The Mets owners obtained at least $700 million in loans to refinance debt, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, Bloomberg's Scott Soshnick reports today.
According to Soshnick, the financing will be used to replace existing credit lines and provide additional funds to the team's owners.
Yesterday, the New York Post reported team owners recently refinanced $450 million in loans borrowed against SportsNet New York (SNY).
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
If you're a Mets fan who thinks someone other than the Wilpons must own this team before it can win again, if you think on-field success is a direct result of the name on the door, you probably feel these two reports are bad news. However, if you're like me, and you don't think it matters who is physically signing the checks so long as the GM has the necessary tools and resources to field a winning team, this is probably good news. Because, these reports suggest more resources could become available, and that's been the real issue these last few years: resources.
It's fairly obvious that ownership's off-field legal issues; the team's poor performance and declining revenue; and collective debts; all collided to choke resources and essentially punch the on-field team in the face.
If the Mets had the ability to double payroll these last few years, they might have hired an aggressive, spend-happy GM, who could have cut all his dead weight, eaten contracts, and re-signed new players to slot in and maybe produce better results than we've seen. However, there is no guarantee that approach would work. Or, maybe it could have worked for a year, entertained us and raised our hopes, but imploded. And it's possible it could have never worked and dug a deeper hole than doing nothing at all. Instead, it looks like Mets ownership hired a thrifty, unwavering GM in Sandy Alderson (with a track record of bargain hunting) who could navigate the organization through a cash crunch, while simultaneously restructuring and restocking the farm system… all of which he's done.
In the last three years, Sandy Alderson has put the Mets organization in a position to essentially start new in 2014, at which point they'll have just two long-term contracts on the books and a crop of young talent ready to roll in the farm system. I think when he talks about 2014, he's not necessarily talking about contending, so much as he's talking about finally starting from zero, with a somewhat clean slate and a lot of options.
Frankly, this is probably what ownership should have done 10 years ago, which is to basically do a reset on the organization. Yes, I'm tired of seeing this team lose more games each of the last three years. But, I was growing equally tired of the Boom and Bust cycles of the last 25 years, none of which produced a ring, and none of which produced a consistent stretch of success. Sure, the Mets made the playoffs here and there, but then it would all come crashing down a year or two later, after which they'd rebuild, take flight and then quickly crash again… over and over again.
Is this current reset occurring because ownership wised up? It is happening because someone finally realized the old way wasn't working? Or, is it occurring because they had no choice? Because it was forced on them, because it had to happen with all the off-field, financial issues? I don't know, and I don't really care, because it needed to happen either way. This organization has long been in need of this type of cleansing. I'm glad it's happening, for whatever reason it's happening, because I'm tired of always rooting for miracles only to have my hopes dashed every September. It just sucks it has to be happening now and not 10 years ago.
Yes, these last few years have been brutal and boring. Now, though, if (because of the above reports) more resources become available – at the same time only two guaranteed contracts are on the books and the farm system is in better shape – meaning Alderson can start building us a sound, sustainable, professional, winning franchise to watch – I'll be OK and feel these last few years were worth it. Why or how we get there will not matter to me. However, if this is all just an excuse to get one family's financial house in order, if nothing changes on field and 'the goal posts get moved again,' I fear there could be A LOT of Mets fans who give up and don't come back…

Was going to try my new runes and Liandry's jungle Shyvana build all day, but nah some DDoSer had other plans for me :/
Side note, I'm loving getting liandrys on shyvana. Sorc boots+liandrys is like, 100% raw magic damage and it feels so strong.
Liandrys sorcs hydra full on AoE monster. kinda squishy though. Still getting wardens mail after liandrys though,
~World's most played Shyvana games: Final Count: 2611 Jan.29th 2013)~
Quit, moved to WildStar. Cya later Dragonborn
Тhat's a lot of wasted gold if you ask me.Sure she deals a wee bit more damage but she's not typically the damage dealer these days.She needs to be able to survive a long time for her damage to add up and she needs to be able to stick to her target a la Frozen Mallet
Frozen mallet is too hard to build into now, and its a clunky item. It used to be a rush core item but they removed the phage build path, which completely ruined it for shyvana.
randuins and cutlass/botrk are better items for CC, but onhit mallet is justno longer a viable path unless you're on a ranked team that allows cordination to protect shyvana and her come to build it.
Liandrys however, it ups the damage on ER and makes WER Burn, and with sorc shoes she negates base MR and most of Spirit visage with all of her mpen and magic damage.

Ten-year-old Jacob Davis receives a Price Centennial Challenge Medallion from Mayor Joe Piccolo in front of Davis's 5th grade class at Castle Heights. Jacob was recognized for completing the school's Patriot Packet, which is a collection of tasks involving American history and government. To complete the packet, Jacob had to learn how to say the Pledge of Allegiance in sign language, memorize the Gettysburg Address and the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, learn the names of all the presidents, states and capitals, and explain what various symbols of the United States mean. Jacob was assisted by his parents, Lizz and Damon Davis and by his sister Brie. "You have achieved something you will remember for a long time," the Mayor said. "You have learned that you can achieve something difficult if you put your mind to it." Jacob's teacher is Diana Wood.

Scientists from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, led by pioneering cancer researchers Drs. Dennis Slamon and Zev Wainberg, are bringing stem cell science directly to cancer patients with an exciting new clinical trial scheduled to begin in early 2014. Partially funded by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the project builds on Slamon and Wainberg's previous work to develop a drug that targets tumor initiating cells and brings leading-edge stem cell science to patients.
In this NBC 4 news piece, Slamon and Wainberg discuss this breakthrough research, and the powerful potential this anti-cancer drug has in battling the disease.

The arboretum is for the entire community to enjoy! Spurred by a desire to conserve and restore the wonderful treescape at Denison—a treescape that really defines campus—Denison developed their first arboretum from the existing species along the main walkway through campus.
Seniors Jennifer Curry and Emily Marguerite bring local produce to the Denison community through a partnership with area farmers.
Is Denison on the right track towards sustainability?
When hands-on skill meets generous funding, a really good plan becomes reality. Watch what a motivated team can do on a fine spring day at the Bio Reserve with 32 solar panels and a sturdy ladder.
At Denison, learning doesn't stop when you hit your room and drop your books. In fact, there's probably never going to be a time when you're absorbing life on a 24/7 basis as much as you are in college

Thank you, Mr. Pawlak, for answering my letter precisely as I expected someone in this audience to answer: "Well heck, let's just blame those greedy, evil doctors for malpractice!" Honestly, I have seldom met more dedicated and concerned human beings than doctors, and I include doctors worldwide for that matter! As for your gratuitous reference to Katrina, at least Louisiana now has a governor who will be decisive like Schwarzenegger in California: Emergency first response is a local and state responsibility – sorry, not Bush's fault! Regarding how great socialized medicine is, I have recently spent many weeks in Europe this year and have heard some good things but many bad things about health care from the very people who live there. Apparently many Americans fail to grasp that health care is not a right granted in the U.S. Constitution. And if we change our form of government to conform to some people's ideal of compassion, why stop at health care? Why not give everyone a house? And a car? And free savings? And free education through college? Why not just remove all incentives for excellence and give everything free? Why is compassion redefined as the forced redistribution of income? Why are politicians so intent on being so generous with other people's money?

Have you checked our tutorial on this?
Here's the general scenerio:
I've given up with lilo after wasting an entire day trying to dual boot the two OS's with it.
I've opted to use the Windows XP boot manager. I have two hard drives. Primary master has Windows XP on it, primary slave has Slackware Linux 9.0 on it.
So... I booted into Linux with my rescue disk and copied the MBR over to a file. This file, called BOOTSECT.LNX, is stored in C: now.
I've edited boot.ini as follows:
[boot loader]
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=" Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Slackware Linux"
When I restart my computer the boot manager works flawlessly. That is until I select Linux.
Linux starts up fine. All that garbage magically flows by the screen until Linux kicks me in the balls with kernel panic. What seems to happen is it tries to mount my root file system (ext2) via FAT. It can't grab the superblock.
Any help, or further questions? Thanks.
EDIT: Also note I can boot up my Linux system fine with my boot disk.
Have you checked our tutorial on this?
He must have, he has copied the BOOTSECT.LNX file to his windows partition.
Shouldn't he had ran /sbin/lilo -v somewhere along the line?
[quote author=Stuart link=board=2;threadid=9705;start=0#msg88175 date=1093230008]
He must have, he has copied the BOOTSECT.LNX file to his windows partition.
Maybe. Maybe he got that info from somewhere else.
I asked him at school today, and he said that the PET here on LJR is what he had used.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that he is using two hard drives?
When you grab that first 512 bytes off your hdd, you're supposed to grab a copy of LILO, not the MBR. So, reinstall LILO onto the partition that has Linux and make sure it it only boots Linux. Then do "dd if=<linux> of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1" and copy that over to your WinXP drive.
Here's what's happening: the Windows bootloader is using that copy of LILO that you made to find where the real Linux MBR is located. If you don't have LILO installed, a copy of the MBR isn't going to help the NTLDR find Linux.
Suggestion: use a floppy to boot Linux and install LILO.
HearWa--- lilo needs to be installed on the first sector of the root drive NOT IN THE MBR....
Choose the first sector of your root partition. This will be /dev/hda2 if on the same hard drive or /dev/hdb1 if on another drive.
The boot= directive in /etc/lilo.conf tells Lilo where it should place its primary boot loader. In general, you can either specify the master boot record (/dev/hda) or the root partition of your Linux installation (is usually is /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2).
edit the lilo.conf file and make the boot= read what /dev/h** linux is installed on.

What's in your trunk?

Despite last week's hurricane, more than 100 students and families from St. Peter School celebrated Halloween with a "Trunk or Treat" event. Families decorated the trunks of their cars and the students "trick-or-treated" from trunk to trunk. Awards were distributed at the end of the day for costumes and trunks. The event was held in the church parking lot on Fair Street. The Best overall trunk award went to the Franchetti Family for their Lego-land trunk pictured here.

Jags hire Bradley; UF's Quinn to Seattle
The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley as head coach.
General manager David Caldwell, who was hired last week, led the search.
"It was just a matter of time before Gus Bradley became a head coach in the NFL and the Jacksonville Jaguars are extremely fortunate that Gus will be on our sidelines for many years to come," Caldwell said in a statement. "Gus more than met every criteria we insisted on from our new head coach, and his intangibles and leadership abilities are exceptional. Gus is who the Jaguars need now and in the future."
Bradley spent the last four seasons in Seattle. His defense finished in the top 10 in points and yards the last two. This season, the Seahawks ranked first in the NFL in points allowed (15.3), fourth in yards (306.2), and tied for fourth in takeaways (31).
Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will return to Seattle to replace Bradley as the Seahawks' defensive coordinator.
Quinn was the Seahawks' defensive line coach prior to joining Will Muschamp's staff. He just completed his second season for the Gators.
The Gators ranked fifth total defense (286.7 yards per game), fifth in scoring defense (14.5 points per game), and fourth in rushing defense (94.5 yards per game) this season.
In 2011, Quinn led a Gator defense that ranked eighth nationally in total defense (299.5 yards per game), seventh in passing defense (166.8 yards per game) and second in third-down defense (27.12 percent).

Floribunda: Projects & PrintablesWednesday, April 23rd, 2014
In our yard, we have five white Iceberg floribunda rose topiary trees that are twelve years old, and they bloom without fail each and every April through September. Floribunda in Latin means "many flowering" which is so true with ours, these roses bloom in multiple clusters of widespread petals. They also possess that intoxicating garden rose scent that fills the nose when you approach a bouquet so naturally the garden spiders share my affection for these blooms.
One of my favorite things to do with Adobe Illustrator is design flowers, there are endless ways to do it and countless blossoms to inspire. The latest project and printable was inspired by those roses just outside my window, the printable quote border was given a pinkish coral tint and includes a favorite garden quote.
Also an embellished flour sack towel in a yellow colorway for the kitchen.
The flour sack towel was created with an iron on transfer which I've avoided for years. I've always had mixed feelings about iron on transfers, the pro is they allow you to apply any image you can create to fabric but the con is so often you're left with that shiny glossy patch like applique that feels plasticy. But I tried it again, and this time I got a better result. To avoid that plastic glossy result, try these two tricks which worked for me:

MASSENA The Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce board of directors will be looking for a new executive director after firing Michael J. Gleason on Friday.
Mike no longer does work with us. We will be looking for a new director, board President Susan E. Stiles said Monday. We wish him well in his endeavors.
Ms. Stiles said despite the absence of an executive director, the chamber would remain open for business with Associate Director Penny M. Pullmain handling the day-to-day activities.
The chamber is still open for business with normal business hours. The Concerts in the Park will still proceed on Thursday nights along with all of our events that are coming up. We have our staff that is there, she said.
The chamber, which recently held its annual Downtown Block Dance and Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show, is preparing to have a presence at the upcoming Bass Anglers Sportsman Society Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown from Aug. 8 to 11 in Whittaker Park, Waddington. There, it will have a booth set up to sell some of its items.
It also is beginning work on its annual Harvest Fest, which will be held Sept. 7 in downtown Massena.
Mr. Gleasons role on local boards, such as the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, will be filled by Massena Chamber board members, Ms. Stiles said.
Board members also serve (on those boards). Thats where the board and the president will have to fill in, she said.
Mr. Gleason had served as executive director since Oct. 15, 2007.
Before that, he was a member of the chamber board and had resigned his position on the board before his appointment. He previously had served as an account executive for Martz Communications Group.
Board members and Mr. Gleason reportedly had clashed in recent weeks over the day-to-day operations of the chamber office.
Mr. Gleason took over for M. Gertrude Jurkovich, a former chamber executive director who had been hired as interim director after Paul A. Haggett resigned in August 2007 at the request of the board of directors. Mr. Haggett had served as the chambers executive director for 8� years.
The chamber board had received 23 applications to replace Mr. Haggett, and several applicants were called in for interviews before a search committee narrowed it down to four candidates who were called back for second interviews. Mr. Gleason had emerged as the top candidate and, after his appointment, he worked with Mrs. Jurkovich during the transition period.
Ive enjoyed my 14 years of serving the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce as a board member and as executive director. It was a pleasure serving the Massena community. I basically transplanted here for family reasons and Ive enjoyed my time as a board member and executive director, Mr. Gleason said.
Ms. Stiles said the board expected to advertise for a new executive director soon. In the meantime, she said, chamber board members will step up to the plate to handle some of the workload.
At this point our plans are to put an ad in the paper, she said.

The first weekend in May means one thing-it's time for the annual Race & Ace Challenge near Bend.
On May 5th, I headed to Mt. Bachelor and Sunriver for a day of snowboarding and golf. Along with KGW Sports Anchor and golfing buddy Adam Bjarnson, we joined 100 or so other adventure seekers for a competition on the slopes and the links.
In the two person team competition, we placed seventh out of seven-last again. But, we also had a blast-again. Part of that has to do with tackling the tricky slalom course on snowboards. Though I ski even less than I board, I'm sure I could shave some seconds off my time by skiing the Mt. Bachelor course next year.
In addition, recently retired NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe-a Race & Ace veteran-was also on hand again. Drew (pictured with me) helped his four person team stay in the title hunt with his skiing prowess and long drives.
Only 359 days 'til next year's event! Check out raceandace.com for more info.

The recent announcement by 15 gas-exporting states, including six of the world's top 10, revealing that they are to form a permanent organization intended to stabilize prices and monitor markets does not indicate that an OPEC-style gas cartel is any closer to becoming a reality. Still, Europe cannot afford to sit on its hands forever.
With the signing of the gas pipeline agreement between Iran and Pakistan, India must now decide whether or not to pursue the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline. India has already voiced a great deal of skepticism over the viability of the proposal, and alternative sources such as domestic gas production or nuclear energy could both prove to be more reliable and cost-effective solutions.
Iran's alleged nuclear activities have led the US and EU to impose new tougher sanctions on the country and its energy sector in a bid to cripple its oil-dependent economy. However, the Iranian energy sector is likely to find enough support from China to fill both the supply and demand gaps left by Western companies that have exited the market.
Nabucco faces many difficulties, most significantly soaring construction costs and sourcing the gas. However, the EU ETS has the potential to make the project economically viable. Furthermore, Turkmenistan is showing signs of commitment to supply the pipeline, and although improved Western-Iranian relations are not on the horizon, Iran should be considered a viable supply solution in the long run.
Each day, thousands of barrels of crude oil and refined products cross the border into Iran from Iraq, primarily from the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan. The proceeds from this trade are vital to the post-Saddam reconstruction of Kurdistan, and are equally as important for Iran, where the refining industry is struggling to produce enough fuel to meet the country's rapidly growing demand.
Political pressure from Washington has, to a certain degree, motivated some of the world's largest oil traders to stop supplying gasoline to Iran in recent months. As a result, the crude-rich but gasoline-short country is looking for alternative supply partners such as China, a shift that has the potential to reshape the long-term international oil and gas political scene.
In a bid to bolster its goal of becoming a major European gas hub, Turkey has entered into a deal worth around GBP1.75 billion with Iran, through which it will help to develop the region's massive South Pars gas field. Despite opposition to the deal on political grounds, the agreement will help to secure European energy supplies as alliances with Russia become increasingly risky.
