ELLISBURG The state Department of Environmental Conservation is still seeking comments on a draft of a management plan for the Winona Forest.
The forest covers 9,233 acres of land in Jefferson and Oswego counties in portions of Ellisburg, Lorraine and Boylston, and sits on the western edge of the Tug Hill Plateau.
The draft of the new plan includes the addition of two new trails near the Civilian Conservation Corps campsite, the rehabilitation of existing trails, a relisting of allowed uses on certain trails and a new signage system for the forest trails that will be less confusing for users.
The area of Winona Forest receives a lot of recreational use, particularly in the wintertime, especially because of the snow, DEC spokesman Stephen W. Litwhiler said. Were trying to enhance and continue that as much as we can while trying to keep up with the forest management.
The new ski trails include a 0.2-mile trail near Bargy Road and a 0.4-mile trail beginning at the southern leg of the Dogleg Trail, which would provide a shorter loop for skiers.
A rating system for ski-trail difficulty also is being considered.
A short snowmobile path near the Bronze Trail is being considered to reduce conflicts around the CCC Camp during special events.
The draft plan also includes the goal of restoring the forests CCC camp to its original condition, applying for its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and enhancing the surrounding site, which includes a collection of nearby cemeteries and the fire ponds created by the Corps.
The full plan can be viewed at http://wdt.me/FTSCY2.
Those interested in filing a comment about the plan can do so by writing Senior Forester Ed Sykes at NYSDEC, 7327 Route 812, Lowville, N.Y. 13367, or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Comments about the management plan will be taken until Aug. 1.
Mr. Litwhiler said that by the end of October, the department hopes to incorporate public comments into a new draft, so a final plan could come out by the end of this year.

I like Vel'koz's skills (it looks pretty interesting, the Q, E and Ult all look amazingly fun). He's kinda creepy tho. While his visual design is really unique, I don't like it much ><
Well, he is a void monster. they're supposed to be creepy looking...
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
Should remind myself not to play AP Trynd in ranked.
Get blamed for everything and get called a troll, even though you got a better score then those feeders.
It might be sad, wrong, or plain dumb but it's the hard truth and if no respect is given towards it, you will only get hate from your own team.
If you don't believe me run Teemo support or even Teemo in general and see how many times someone actually likes it as opposed to wanting to cut you down from the back with an axe.
Riot needs to fix MMR based picking. My reason is that FP doesn't rise to the occasion if they are meant to be a lower pick. Putting someone who doesn't have the ability to play at his or her MMR as FP is only gimping teams. Overall, I feel it lower the chances of winning in ranked for any and all teams.
Pride is a wonderful trait.
Whats up with this new ranked system.
I climbed back into Gold 5 from silver 3. was quite the struggle cause of all the afk'ers, lag games and feeders. but I managed.
But now, gold 5, I just cant seem to get 1 decent team. And no, im not negative or anything.. im going into each game with a positive attitude and pick what is needed.. but this is really annoying the crap out of me, every game my team is able to either go 0/9 within 5 minutes, or throw it again and again. or there are 2 people that are totally braindead and feed the **** out of an enemy champ which then snowballs and is able to 2 shot us. (gragas going 12/0/4 within 20 minutes cause our mid was trolling, body slam + ult doing 1500+ damage)
I seem to be able to win my lane 80% of the time, but I cant seem to stop the other lanes from feeding their opponents, even if I gank and get them a kill, they just seem to troll the shit out of me and keep on feeding.. wth am i supposed to do?
man oh man. sometimes this game is so frustrating.
/randmode off
MiguelKaleidoscope Dream
i'll rise, eventually, but for now it's more struggle than it's worth. i just play for fun, go 20/0/18 and then just laugh as my team throws.
Ye lol, i had Fiora that though her champion is more viable then Nidalee and that she carried not me, nidalee that was 11/1/15
So I haven't played in awhile but decided to today. Won 2 games and did pretty well too, third game we were winning hard (16-9) but then suddenly 500-900 ping for 3 of us until we were dead at 25 cause none of us could cast....
What the flying ****? Why are the servers suddenly so laggy? Like shit I only have 250 ping to korea o-o

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Bike Jackets in stock than that.View Similar Products
DAKINE Blitz Jacket - Men's $0.00
There are times when the combination of the right type of soil and a light, misty rain can spell epic riding. We've ridden some trails in the Pacific Northwest that turn a light rain into intensely rail-able turns and face-melting speed. Even so, feeling wet and clammy during a ride can be a real bummer. Having a light rain jacket on hand can be the key to a day you'll talk about for years to come, and the Dakine Blitz Jacket fits the bill nicely. This waterproof breathable 2.5-layer jacket will stash compactly in your pack, so you'll be ready when the weather pulls a fast one.
Dakine built the Blitz Jacket with 10K waterproof, 10,000g/m breathable nylon fabric that will stand up to all but the nastiest downpours. This isn't a spray-on treatment, it's a waterproof breathable membrane that will last for years with proper care. The seams are fully taped to eliminate the typical weak spots in the waterproofing. The jacket's breathability allows moisture to escape, so you don't get that nasty, clammy feeling that some jackets will give you. Dakine also equipped the Blitz with zippered underarm vents that allow you to dump heat in a hurry and let the fresh air in. A vented back panel forces out stale, clammy air.
The fit is pure freeride. The Blitz is loose and comfortable. Articulated sleeves give the jacket a natural feel, and the dropped tail covers you in the seated position. Dakine rounded out the Blitz's construction with adjustable cuffs, a helmet-compatible cinch hood, and water-resistant zippers.
The Dakine Blitz Jacket comes in four sizes from Small to X-Large. It's available in the colors Octane and Black.

Chris Weaver
Best rain jacket for the money
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This shell is amazing! Very waterproof, wind-resistant, and the fit is true to size. The pits are equipped with TURE zip-vents (not lined with mesh) so that when you really get your sweat on you can open this jacket up to breathe. The cuffs are great, solid overall construction, and the hood is helmet compatible. As previously stated, the Octane red really pops on a gloomy day. This jacket is FRESH, so get it.
Andrew Whiteford
Stay dry and steezy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Comfortable, roomy fit without being too baggy and getting caught on stuff. Quite durable and shrugs off branches and other trailside gnar. The hood is large and fits well over my open face helmets without problem. Breathes well, but most importantly keeps you dry. It packs down nice and small & I toss it inside my Dakine Nomad pack anytime there is a chance of rain. Zippered pockets are handy for light items but if you're riding aggressively heavier items (cell phone or multi tool) will bounce the jacket around because the shell is quite light.
The red looks great on a dreary day, too!

|See Other EOS 35mm SLR Cameras
The Canon EOS line of 35mm autofocus SLR cameras enjoys an enviable reputation as one of the world's most advanced and most coveted systems for fine photography. Right from the outset, just over a decade ago, Canon's first EOS camera redefined 35mm SLR photography with such trailblazing technologies and features as an all-electronic lens-to-camera interface with lens-based focusing motors for ultra-responsive AF operation, fast and silent film transport, and a unique user interface that forever changed the look and feel of SLR photography. Over the ensuing years, EOS has evolved into a total photography system that has no peer. Improvements in AF performance, the advent of multiple focusing points, refinements to the user interface, even faster and quieter film transport systems, and the introduction of numerous innovations, such as Eye Controlled Focus and Custom Functions, have kept EOS cameras at the forefront of SLR photography. Add to this the ongoing refinement and expansion of the EOS System - which today includes an unparalleled selection of superb EF lenses, Power Drive Boosters, Speedlite flashes, and just about every imaginable accessory for serious photography - and it becomes easy to understand why Canon's lineup enjoys top market share worldwide.

I have been around animals my whole life. We always had cats and dogs. I distinctly remember watching those horrific videos of slaughter houses on Peta2 and decided that day that I would never eat another animal for as long as I live. I have been a vegetarian for a little over three years. I'm working my way to become vegan :) <3
I don't want to live - I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Hiya! Mackenzie here. I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you'll ever meet. I'm always trying to do things to help animals and involve myself in getting active for animal rights. I have 4 awesome animal buddies living with me- a dog, ferret, mouse, and leopard gecko. Animals are my world, and I live to speak up for them.
Looking good is my thing.. Vegan clothing and cosmetics are always in style! ;)
love animals.. since forever (:
vegetarian on my way to being vegan (:
I love music and I love animals and I love YOU <3
I'm Kassandra. Animal rights are my biggest passion and I was lucky enough to help expand and express that through the 2012-2013 peta2 Youth Advisory Board.

Editors note: This is the second part of a journal kept by Terry Willis, who is a sports and recreation reporter for the Sun Advocate. Terry worked as a boatman for the BLM on this trip down the Green River in Desolation Canyon in early July.
By 5:30 a.m the next morning you can hear the Spangler's bumping around in the kitchen area getting coffee and breakfast started. This is no vacation adventure, but a true working group. By 8 a.m. groups are divided up and we are ready to head off. I want to go up with the upper group, but don't plan to make a day of it. I want to get photos and a feel of both the groups headed into the creek drainage. Since Rosie (what we chose to name our constant bear companion) is frequenting the ranch site and other bear scat is common on the trail I didn't want to cruise the trail alone to come down.
I recruit two members of the group who don't want to stay for the day either, but do want to visit the site. Since CPAA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, there is a board of directors. Two members of the board also came along on the trip to be hands on volunteers for this outing. They are Paul Phillips and Susan Zimmermann.
Phillips is a practicing environmental lawyer and was instrumental in helping CPAA get through the red tape of obtaining their 501 (c) (3) status. Zimmermann is a writer and education consultant. This is their first trip with CPAA although they have done many Desolation Canyon trips in the past. They volunteer to be my bear guard.
We walk for about three miles up the trail. We have to bushwhack through spungy mud and poison ivy. We catch a glimpse of a bear heading down stream and it ignores us. We finally make it up to our location and try to find one last previously reported panel of a horned snake.
As we clamor up the scree slopes and up on the lower ledges of the cliffs, someone spots an unrecorded granery. Now the real work began.
It isn't like the movies where Indiana Jones swoops in and sees if there are treasures to take. Mostly, it is about careful measurement, sketching the site and surroundings. It also involves the recording of details on the paper work that is brought to each site. They do not dig into a site, but leave it as untouched and undisturbed as they can.
Kristen Jensen finds the panel we are searching for. Jensen manages the statewide archaeological and historical properties data bases. This is her opportunity to take part in the work she helps maintain in a data base. She does not get to get out of the office and do the hands on work very often. It is her fourth CPAA trip. She feels her efforts in the field allow her to have an orientation on the policy issues and keep a perspective on what is really important,
A second, more elaborate panel is located by Rick Chapoose. Rick is a member of the Ute tribe and spent many summers at the ranch house in Florence Creek down river from here. The Chapoose family ran the ranch house and a small river company for several years. Later on Chapoose himself ran it for a short time, but now is working with the tribe to document the many roads that are crisscrossing the reservation lands. Chapoose brought a sense of reverence to the expedition and his insights and stories put a different dimension to the entire passage through the canyon.
The Ute tribe has been skeptical about archeology projects. Chapoose feels that they view them as potential looters of their heritage. There has been a history of that in the past, but Chapoose has done enough trips with CPAA to understand that they are there to document and leave alone, not collect for museums and others who would profit from the finds.
He would like the tribe to enlist CPAA in doing the same type of inventory on the left side of the river on tribal land. But he admits it is an uphill battle as those in power right now do not appreciate the assets they have in their piece of the Green.
With documentation underway, I and my bear patrol head back down the trail in search of the second group. We also scan the cliffs for a granery that was previously documented, but not yet relocated. Then we think we see one.
The three of us begin the difficult scramble up the face. Phillips is a better climber and gets up to the ledge. Despite our excitement, it turns out to be a natural rock pile. We come down and run into the other group just below us on the trail. They came up to double check our assessment and concur it is a BN (big nothing). There will be many BNs on this trip.
The lower group heads on up the canyon to revisit a known panel. I head on back to finish my painting. As the heat of the day settles in to cover us, the teams begin trickling back.
Metcalfe and Banta's group has been documenting the ranch and discovered a hand-carved shovel made out of cottonwood stashed in a small rock cranny just above the ranch. Similar shovels have been discovered in Nine Mile. They take turns working the ranch area with Rosie the bear, giving her space and time to come in and munch the fruit while they take breaks back at camp. It is a great working relationship.
Another night of great food, music and talk. Phillips had done some very extensive research into the history of the Rock Creek Ranch and gives us a talk, along with historic photos and excerpts from a journal of one of the past residents. Darkness and mosquitoes enveloped us as we sit listening to the tales unfold.
One last morning at the ranch. This time one group heads downstream along the river banks to explore Calf and a Half and Calf Canyons. The other group returns up to the forks of Rock Creek.
I head downstream to be an active part of the expedition. There was a granery in a cool, damp side canyon that has been already documented but we sit and look at it as we chill down after a rock scramble to check many alcoves and rock crannies on the cliff face.
I made my first real discovery by finding a small panel of markings on the inside of a boulder field. This one was classified as a LS (little something) and I was thrilled. I got to do the site drawing as Spangler recorded the panel. I followed him to another LS to help record that as well.
We then fanned out to score the bottom land boulder field as the river swept left. Cheat grass made our shoes look like big fur balls and worked their way inside to create a distracting poke on each step.
I come across another man made structure of pinion pine poles and a small rock wall at the back. The others are spread out so I make a note of it and continue on. Many of our group have turned back due to the heat so there are only four of us to meet at the mouth of Calf Canyon.
We eat our lunch and begin the bushwhack into the canyon. There is a granery they are trying to re-document. Boomgarden's trained eyes spot it hundreds of feet above the canyon wall. I can barely make it out, even after its pointed out to me.
Again the documentation starts and it is over a half hour of paper work to get done as we sit in the scorching heat, savoring a sliver of shade from the brush behind our backs. Spangler and two others finally finish their sweep of the sandy shoreline and trek up into the canyon to take a look.
We begin the long trudge back to camp and I take them past my structure. They feel it's probably more historic than archaeological, but the presence of the wall makes it worth documenting. Again a LS.
By state statute I am supposed to stay on site until the documentation is done since I am the one who found it. Three of us stay behind to record and the rest of the group heads back to document another wall found along the way. My job this time is to be the tape measure girl. I measure all aspects of the structure as they document.
We finally wind it up and head back to camp. Boomgarden shows us pithouse remains and a grinding stone he found last trip. We admire the articles and then leave them as found.
With the work completed for now at this site, we unwind and relax. An Indian lamb dinner gets us going and then we sing and dance down on the boats until late. Rosie must sense we are leaving because she makes no appearance that evening at all.
In the morning the tempo is much different as we load up the boats to get an early start. We want to make 20 miles today.
The board members have to head out. So we say good bye to Phillips, Zimmermann, Susie and Jeff Bogard. Susie Bogard is a retired high school art teacher and her husband, Jeff, is also a retired teacher. They are neighbors of Zimmermann. They travel a lot and have been part of several other archaeological projects. Cedar Mesa is one they spent much time on and have led groups of school kids to take part in volunteering as part of their curriculum.
We head downstream to hit two more sites as we also try and make miles. One group stops at Lion Hollow and the rest of us continue to Trail Canyon to document a granery that was located by BLM Ranger Mick Krussow on a previous trip. This granery was one recorded on the Clafin-Emerson expedition.
It is only a quarter mile or so up the side canyon, but the walk is brutal. Most of us are wearing shorts and we work along an elk trail through the sage brush. Old mosquito bites were re energized as the plants scraped off the first layer of skin, but success of locating the site made it worth it.
As the three archaeologists headed up the steep slope to get as close as they could to record the site, the rest of us head back to the boats to wait.
The Lion Hollow group reunite with us about the time the three come back out of the side canyon. Success is traded back and forth. An ancient moccasin was found by Metcalfe laying on the ground at the Lion Hollow site. A rare find indeed. This was a BS (big something).
But now we want to get down as far as the mouth of Range Creek today and have many river miles to float. Rapids are common through this section and we make good time. But more time than we expected had been spent at Trail Canyon and we revise our plans.
We pull into a camp above a rapid called Wire Fence and end a long day. After a late evening and many river miles, most of us retire early as we now have an even longer day tomorrow.
The next morning as I break down my tent at 6 a.m. I hear a loud crack and watch an old cottonwood tree limb across the river break off and crash. Camp is awake and moving now as everyone crawls out of their tent to see what the noise is. Keith Kloor had his tent set up next to mine and jumped upright in his sleeping bag as the rifle like sound echoed the canyon. Kloor is along as a journalist doing a story for the Science Times, which is a subdivision of Science Magazine. This is his second trip down the canyon with CPAA. He has been an editor with Audobon Magazine and has written stories for the High Country News, the New York Times and other high profile media outlets. Kloor has been interviewing us all for the entire trip.
He is trying to focus on the remarkable partnership that is taking place to get this work done. With the diversity of our group assembled it has given him much material to add to his story.
We have the three biggest rapids on the trip today. Minutes after launching we are drenched to the skin in Wire Fence and then Three Fords Rapids.
But there is still work and soon we pull out to explore another previous recorded site. This site is located and Chapoose moves a rock and the top of a human skull is uncovered. The group completes its documentation and Chapoose is left behind to perform a ritual blessing on the site.
The finding of the human remains deepens all our appreciation and understanding of the human inhabitants that one tried to survive in these places that most of us now see as a recreation area. We are a bit solemn for a while as we head downstream.
By 1 p.m. we are at Range Creek. We have decided not to do any work here as the August trip can come down and focus their efforts more thoroughly than we could. Metcalfe gives us a short talk about the work he has been heading up in the upper Range Creek section and his thoughts on how things may tie together.
Several go up to the mouth of the creek to wash off the river silt and cool off and then we are on our way. We join up into small groups again to motor through the "lake". It is a long flat stretch of the river with few currents and often an upstream wind. Soon we split up and raft the rapids of Rabbit Valley, Coal Creek and Rattle Snake. Coal Creek was showing its force, but we all slide right through. Then a small flat water stretch and Nefertiti Rapid comes into view. Home for the night.
The working part of the trip is over for the archeology crew and it is enchiladas and margaritas all around. We have hoarded a block of ice and have the battery powered blender going and life is good.
I head to my tent after losing a spirited game of washers and lay down listening to the roar of the rapid and the strains of music from the beach, punctuated by laughter and an occasional squeal as someone almost falls off the boat they are sitting on.
I have spent much time talking to each person on this trip. As I wrapped up my interviews I talked with both of the BLM rangers who came along. Jim Wright is in his sixth season as a ranger on this river. These trips have been the highlight of his season. He walks away from each one with new found friendships and a wealth of knowledge that has translated into a greater respect for this river. He no longer makes his way downstream without being touched by the humans that were here before him.
Skip Edwards is in his eighth season and has also spent time on the Westwater stretch of the Colorado as well as a few seasons on other rivers. This is his second trip down with CPAA.
He is taking away a better awareness of what to look for and how to observe the potential presence of a site. The trips have also made him more aware of the importance of his role to educate the boaters and their families and friends who head down the river about the abundance of sites they may encounter and how to treat them when they do come across them.
The next day we get up early one last time to sojourn down the final leg of our voyage. It is the section called the daily and it is punctuated with small rapids and flat water. We are a bit quieter as the boat ramp draws near. The dirty hot work of loading boats and cleaning gear remain, but it is our own reflections on this trip that take over in the final miles.
We all will be heading our separate directions soon. The common theme in our final conversations to each other is how much this trip has touched our hearts and how our view of Desolation Gray has been altered forever.
Spangler knows we have only touched a tiny piece of the puzzle. But as he says "you need to eat an elephant one bite at a time." We have only managed to get through the appetizers.

Imagine yourself living at a time when the Heidi legend was created! The Heidi story, translated into 40 languages, with 20 million copies published worldwide, can be experienced 'live' in the romantic Alpine mountain world between Bad Ragaz and Chur.
The story of the young, cheerful and nature-loving orphan comes alive at the authentic sites in Heidi's village. The Heidi Village takes visitors back to the time when the little girl's story was written. And the Heidi Trail leads through the idyllic landscape to Heidi House and Heidi Alp.
The world famous story of Heidi can be lived and experienced on a hiking tour in and around Maienfeld. From Heidi House in Heidi Village to Heidi Cake, everything is geared to the heroine of the novel. The Heidi Trail wends its way from the railway station in Maienfeld through the narrow lanes of the historic town of Maienfeld to Rofels and the small Heidi Village. The trail is well marked and can be easily walked with baby strollers. The Heidi House in Heidi Village is today a museum that depicts life as it was lived in Heidi's time, over 100 years ago. The interesting and challenging Heidi Adventure Trail starts at Heidi Village. It takes hikers 1¾ hour to reach the Heidi Alp (Ochsenberg). The story of Heidi is narrated in a playful manner on 12 illustrated markers along the trail.
If you don't want to hike to Heidi Alp, there is a trail that leads across fields and meadows to the Hotel-Restaurant Heidihof. Fortified by a hearty meal, you can walk in the direction of Heidi's Well, an important monument dedicated to Johanna Spyri. Original Heidi souvenirs that will keep beautiful memories alive are available at the village store in Maienfeld.

When it comes to crafting their proposed 2014-15 school budgets, the math isnt adding up very well for St. Lawrence County school officials.
Joined by educators from throughout the state, area school superintendents and other advocates are pushing lawmakers to beef up the final state budget by allocating more funds for public education.
On Friday, school superintendents are scheduled to meet with state Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, to discuss their concerns. The 10 a.m. meeting is at the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services center, Canton.
The following week, district officials from Jefferson-Lewis BOCES plan to meet with Ms. Russell Feb. 27 in Watertown.
Ms. Russell said she is working to persuade her fellow state lawmakers to reduce the Gap Elimination Adjustment from $1.6 billion to $1 billion in the 2014 budget. She also advocates establishing a separate pool of money to help districts facing the most fiscal distress.
We need a separate pool of money to address these dire needs, Ms. Russell said. My northern districts need the GAP elimination to go away immediately. Beyond that, some may need additional funding because theyre in significant fiscal distress. The cuts have been so deep and so sustained.
Although Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo allocated 4 percent more for education in his 2014 state budget, many north country educators say their extra state aid still falls woefully short of their needs.
Overall, the executive budget increases educational aid by $807 million, but the GEA that has deducted funds from public schools since the 2009-10 school year continues to counteract state aid increases for many districts.
Rising expenses, revenue shortfalls and the 2 percent tax cap are placing additional pressure on cash-strapped school districts that have been hit hard with job and program cuts for the past several years.
Some districts have started to include budget discussions during their regular board meetings. Others plan to start number-crunching in the next few weeks.
Massena Central is projecting a $4 million shortfall, while both Potsdam and Canton school districts are facing budget gaps that exceed $2.5 million unless state lawmakers agree to shift more money to schools.
Massena interim Superintendent William W. Crist said his district is predicting an approximately $4 million shortfall, but the budget is in first draft and that projection could change.
It still has to do with where state aid numbers come in and some other calculations were still working on, Mr. Crist said. Were still in the process. I know people get anxious this time of year, but its something thats going to take time. The revenues havent been solidified. Were really at a first draft stage.
At this point, he said, the district is looking at about a $1.6 million increase in contractual obligations that include contributions to the teacher and employee retirement systems as well as health insurance. The Teachers Retirement System contributions are going up 13 percent, while contributions to the Employees Retirement System are going down slightly, according to the superintendent.
We have no control over that, he said.
Members of the districts Finance Committee met Friday morning to go over the latest numbers. The board of education will hold a budget work session thats open to the public on March 6.
Were going to be providing some additional information to the general public at the March 6 meeting. The meeting this morning was helpful. We received some direction from the Budget Committee that well be talking about more publicly in March, Mr. Crist said.
Like other districts, Massena Central is hoping that the Gap Elimination Adjustment will be eliminated and that foundation aid will be restored to help close the gap.
Theres a strong interest certainly by practitioners, superintendents and the like that this Gap Elimination Adjustment go away somehow. Foundation aid has been frozen for several years. Were hopeful that our legislators are going to be responsive to these concerns that exist, Mr. Crist said.
At this point, he said, they werent ready to discuss what cuts may have to be made to programs or personnel.
Well wait until March 6 to have that conversation. I know that the board is interested in the meeting on March 6. Hopefully thats going to be a meeting that interested community members can certainly be participating in. The board is very committed to supporting programs for students and making sure we can be proud of what we have, Mr .Crist said.
Locally, we have an obligation to keep costs down. But were a business. The savings dont come from pencils and paper clips, he said.
Ogdensburg Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said the biggest issue facing the city school district is the lack of state aid and the governors proposals to tie property taxes to the tax cap.
We have stayed at the tax cap level all years it has been in existence but at some point in time may have to ask voters to exceed it, Mr. Vernsey said Friday.
But, he said, the governors proposal makes it very difficult to almost impossible to do this.
Since 2008, state aid has been frozen and the state has imposed the GEA, which Mr. Vernsey said is a fancy word for simply taking money back, to the tune of $6,318,394.
Ogdensburg also has the distinction of being, I believe, number two or three in the state with the most tax-exempt property, Mr. Vernsey said. So as costs have risen over the past six years, we have simply been forced to cut positions and programs and spend down fund balance to deal with the states inadequate support for poor public schools like Ogdensburg.
The state has balanced its budget on the backs of schoolchildren for six years now and it is time to fully fund the formula, as well as make changes to it, and totally eliminate the GEA, which is just a fancy scheme to take money away from districts and force districts across the state to struggle to give children a sound basic education, Mr. Vernsey said.
At Potsdam Central, Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said the district is eyeing a budget of $28,733,895 with gap of $2.8 million. The district has a projected tax cap limit this year of 3.8 percent.
The districts aid increase was 1.97 percent, giving it an additional $221,600 to work with. Mr. Brady said the increase wont even cover the projected $300,000 increase in health care expenses alone.
Gouverneur Central School has a budget gap of about $500,000, mostly because of increased costs for health insurance and retirement, Superintendent Lauren F. French said.
District officials will spend the next week determining how to use a combination of reduction, fund balance and money drawn from three reserve accounts for recommendations to the board on how to balance the budget.
Some of the money will come from accounts reserved for unemployment, employee retirement and workers compensation, all of which have had increased costs. The district already had planned not to fill a vacancy in the business office but other potential staff reductions have not been identified yet, Mrs. French said. The amount that might be available from the fund balance to reduce the burden on the tax levy is also undetermined.
A $500,000 hike in the levy would amount to about a 9 percent tax increase. The Gouverneur district will have a budget workshop at 7 p.m. Feb. 24 in the high school cafeteria.
Based on preliminary state aid figures, many smaller districts are also facing shortfalls.
Hermon-DeKalb Superintendent Ann M. Adams said her district is facing a $70,000 deficit but has no places to trim.
We do not have any job cuts planned as we have cut to the bare minimum of who we need to run the programs and building, Ms. Adams said in an email.
The district is projecting major cost increases in health insurance, teacher retirement system, debt service and maintenance costs, such as fuel. The district is slated to receive about $60,000 more in state aid this year for operating expenses, a 1.38 percent increase from this. The board is scheduled to see its first draft of the budget at its March 10 meeting.
St. Lawrence Central, Brasher Falls, is projecting a $1.8 million gap as it prepares its 2014-15 budget, according to Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. Although the governors proposal shows about $1 million more in state aid for the district, the actual figure will be $400,000 to $450,000 when the GEA and other factors are taken into account.

Now that the Chronicle and Examiner have reviewed Mayor Newsom's first 100 days, it's time for the real story to be told.
Gavin Newsom's first 100 days as mayor were dramatically impacted by his opening up the city to gay marriages. This decision increased his support in the gay and lesbian community without jeopardizing the business and real estate interests that funded his mayoral campaign.
Unfortunately, Newsom's historic action on gay marriage has obscured his backing of groups and individuals who supported him in the runoff and his opposition to groups-like tenants-who supported Matt Gonzalez.
This is called politics. Winners reward their supporters and do not alienate major campaign donors like the Sangiacomo familyfor the benefit of their opponents. Mayor Newsom cannot be criticized for practicing politics as usual, but the daily media acts as if the mayor is instead pursuing a different course. For example, in his coverage of the mayor's first 100 days Examiner reporter Adriel Hampton writes on April 15 that Newsom's "deliberative efforts to do a little something for just about everybody are winning praise in every corner of The City."
Every corner of the city? Hampton should make another visit to 8th and Market, home of the Trinity Plaza Apartments. He could have spoken to plenty of folks who are still waiting for the Mayor to do something for them.
Hampton's evidence for his claim that the whole city is praising Newsom comes from a single person, Barbara Meskunas. Hardly a disinterested observer, Meskunas endorsed Newsom's mayoral campaign and served on his transition team. But Hampton accepts Meskunas' assertion that "even those who didn't vote for him are surprised at how well things are going" even though Supervisor Chris Daly, the only Gonzalez supporter he quotes, refutes Meskunas' claim
The rules of journalism say that if an article claims that Gonzalez supporters are now excited about Newsom, some evidence is necessary. You can always find people who supported one candidate to say good things about the opponent who won, but the Examiner was so committed to its conclusion that it could not be bothered with these easy to obtain-though meaningless– quotes.
Ilene Lelchuk's April 14 Chronicle story notes that Newsom spent his first 100 days trying to end the perception of patronage politics. But what was the appointment to the Police Commission of Angela Alioto's son but the worst example of such patronage? And what of the appointment of Michaela Alioto-Pier, who has not lived in San Francisco for years but was Newsom's payback for Al Gore's pre-election day visit.
Lelchuk's only example of Newsom rooting out patronage is his call for an investigation of the Department of Building Inspection. But those identified with DBI supported Gonzalez, and there is certainly nothing "new school" about going after one's political opponents.
Nobody is disputing Newsom's right to practice patronage politics-the problem here is that our local dailies are acting as if our current mayor is less committed to patronage than his predecessors (and the special monitor he appointed for DBI, Rudy Nothenberg, is an old friend of Gavin's Dad, a relationship-based appointment that the media would have criticized if made by Willie Brown).
In case readers felt Lelchuk's story was not sufficiently pro-Newsom , the Chronicle's April 15 editorial left no doubt as to the paper's adoration of the Mayor.
The message of the Chronicle editorial is that "Newsom has firmly established his determination to shake up San Francisco's stagnant government."The evidence? He appointed new fire and police chiefs, and new heads for Rec & Park, the PUC, and the Port.
But Newsom's three predecessors also changed several department heads in their first 100 days. While the media treats Newsom's appointment of a woman fire chief and Asian-American woman police chief as revolutionary acts, it forgets that Willie Brown also made historic appointments to these positions ( He appointed the first Asian-American police chief and the first African-American fire chief.) Yet such appointments did not prevent business as usual at both departments.
Mayor Newsom was honored by children's advocates yesterday for keeping his promises to fund children's services. His focus on the Bayview deserves praise, though no progress has been made and the situation has actually gotten worse in the past 100 days. He has made no bad commission appointments, though he appointed a supervisor whose lack of knowledge of city affairs renders her barely qualified for the job.
It is too soon to judge a Mayor after 100 days, and far too soon for our local dailies to already conclude that Mayor Newsom will forever alter the course of city government.

Educational institutions need to develop and deploy a wide variety of database applications from E-learning and student assessment applications to tuition payment processing systems and IT infrastructure applications. At the same time, schools and universities are under constant budget pressure, and need to find a cost-effective solution that frees up funding for other high priority projects.
MySQL is a proven, cost-effective database widely used by educational institutions worldwide to automate many of the academic and administrative processes. It is also one of the most popular databases used in teaching curriculums and by scientists in research institutions.
MySQL provides faculty, students and administrators with the following benefits.
Scholastic is the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books and a leader in educational technology. The Scholastic Achievement Manager (SAM) is a powerful dashboard for managing reading achievement. Built to scale across large districts, it powers Scholastic's student technology applications including READ 180, Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI), and ReadAbout.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is one of the world's largest and most respected centers for scientific research. CERN delivered a MySQL Database-as-a-Service offering to the CERN employees and the scientists associated with the organization allowing researchers selecting MySQL for their project to get access to a database instance hosted by the CERN IT department, either from the start or once their application has become critical.
The College of William & Mary, founded in 1693, is the second oldest college in the United States. To enforce the College's strict security policies, William & Mary developed a role-based Network Admission Control (NAC) system that ensures that all students, faculty and guests have secure access to their respective networks and resources.
The School of Everything is a website that helps people who want to learn meet up with people who want teach. School of Everything chose to deploy MySQL and Drupal on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
eSchool Solutions is a leading provider of educational management solutions specifically designed for the preK-12 education community. Using MySQL, eSchool Solutions developed the most comprehensive absence management solution to over 700 school districts across North America.
The University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is one of the largest universities in Germany with 31,000 students and has deployed over 600 MySQL databases.

Shopping Guide: When To Go Thrift Or Buy New
- 1 of 19
Knowing when to go vintage or buy new is a shopping habit that, believe it or not, will save you a ton of money over time. With that in mind, we put together an easy-to-navigate guide explaining which items are best bought secondhand and what's better fresh off the rack. Just think of it as another step towards becoming a pro shopper.

Button-Down Shirts
The men's section in thrift stores can be a treasure trove of cotton button-down shirts. The key is to look for a slightly oversized fit that can be tucked into jeans or, even depending on the fit, can be worn as a shirtdress. Additional note: make sure the shirt is stain-free around the collar and under the arms.

Mom Jeans
Lucky for us, this trend is making a serious comeback, and thrift stores are loaded with the infamous high-rise jean. Look for classic, light-wash denim that is cropped just above the ankle. A distressed style is a big plus, as the detailing is completely on-point for spring.

Leather Boots
The great thing about buying boots from the thrift store is that they're already broken in. Well-loved, lace-up leather styles will be a timeless addition to your shoe collection.

Denim Jacket
They say some things only get better with age and wear, and the denim jacket is certainly one of them. We love hitting the boys' section for this spring staple, and if you find one with interesting patches—all the better.

Slip Dresses
Probably the most versatile piece for your wardrobe this spring, a Kate Moss-inspired silky slip dress, ideally from the '90s, is a great vintage find. Look for a knee-length slip with lace trim to layer under a lightweight sweater or leather jacket.

A great pair of pumps is an integral part of your wardrobe that can easily be dressed up or down. With so much potential wear, it's best to purchase new pumps, rather than a secondhand pair that's seen better days.

Schutz Libertine Pumps ($150)
A pair of classic black pumps will take you from the office to a night out with ease.

Basics T-Shirts
A basic top that gets a ton of use, such as a Breton stripe tee or white V-neck, is worth buying new.

Gap Essential Stripe Boatneck Tee ($27)
A striped tee is the perfect go-to basic for spring.

If your spring budget only has room for one investment piece, go for that designer bag you've been eyeing. A versatile handbag will last you for seasons and gives your look a fresh update.

From there we went to the Orangerie to see Monet's massive Water-lily murals (no pics) and then to Les Invalides (RIP Napoleon) and the Rodin gardens. Those gardens were wonderful – I had never been there before. Another place I could have just sat and soaked up the Parisien ambiance had there been more time.
Your travel post is wonderful and photos great. Perfect on a cold rainy late afternoon to escape to a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your travel tales. Have fun using the awesome Paris material too!
Perfect vacation memento fabric!

Paris is on my bucket list.
Great post! Love seeing things from other places:)

Ah, Paris – I spent two days there years ago and loved every second. Thanks for sharing!
Oh to see the beautiful city of Paris. I enjoyed your pictures. I would sure love to go with my daughter in law and of course my grandaughter named PARIS.
What a wonderful visit you had and now this great travelogue to go with it. I can't wait to see what you make with the Paris fabric. You will show it to us, won't you?
Wow! I love all your photos and I'm so impressed that you did so much in 2 days. I've always wanted to go to Paris. Hopefully some day before I get old 😉
Love it! Those are absolutely gorgeous pictures!! The sculptures, architecture, art – it's all incredible. What a trip! I especially love your pictures of the Arc de Triomphe & Eiffel Tower. Just beautiful! And the fabric is pretty cute too.
Paris for a mini break is this years birthday present. Ok so it's nearly time for my next birthday and life's got in the way and we haven't made it this year. Loved reading your blog post about it and it's made me excited all over again about going. I saw a picture with those locks on flickr just yesterday and meant to google what it was all about. Thanks for the explanation! I
What lovely mosaics of your photos. They are so rich in content I almost felt like I went to Paris myself. Thank you.
Ha! You're my kind of traveler — cram as much into a day as you possibly can. Great pics — it looks like you had a wonderful time!
Jealous!!! Oh how I miss my favorite city in the world!!!! I plan to go back in 3 years, but oh my how I miss it there. Glad you had a great time!

-Amanda-
I went to Paris 15 years ago, in the Spring, and it rained alot. Your picture of Saint Chapelle is beautiful – I would have loved to see the sun shining through those breathtaking windows! I think I need some of that Paris fabric…..
Love that you bought fabric as a souvenir.
Love your photos and travelogue, brings back fond memories of my winter trip to Paris 4 years ago. I'd love to go back again in spring or summer. The Parisian themed fabric looks very pretty too!

Love your photos! I spent two weeks in Paris with my oldest sister last September. We had such a good time!
So glad you had such a fabulous time! I love the Musee D'Orsay, I'm a huge fan of the impressionists, and it's my lasting impression of Paris from my only trip there 16 years ago (that and the Eiffel Tower being freezing on a February evening!).

I was flying via Paris, no doubt on the same flight you did, and me and the Italian student next to me had a good giggle at the 2
Love this post! Je t'aime, mon amie! : )

A Department of Energy grant is allowing the City to do something unusual these days. It?s allowing the City to keep some streetlights lit; both now and for a decade into the future.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, provided by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, is financing a pilot project to replace traditional City-managed, metered, streetlights with low-energy LED streetlights. The City is currently testing both cobrahead and globe (also called acorn) styles. Those interested can visit the following test locations to view samples:
· Centennial and Garden of the Gods (Cobrahead style manufactured by Lighting Science Group)
· Palmer Park and Lehmberg (Cobrahead style manufactured by Hadco)
· Nevada and Uintah (Cobrahead style manufactured by Beta)
· Peterson and Stetson Hills (Cobrahead style manufactured by Leotech)
· Colorado Avenue Bridge area (Pendent style manufactured by King Luminaire, Acorn style manufactured by Cooper, and Acorn style manufactured by Spring City)
Though the LED streetlights have vastly higher initial cost, in this case the grant will pay for both the lights and installation. Once in place, the LED streetlights are anticipated to use approximately half the energy of traditional streetlights, create whiter light with greater ability to distinguish colors at night, and last 10 to 15 years? as compared to 2 to 3 years for traditional lighting.
The City plans to begin installing the LED street lights this fall once it makes a final style determination based on price, visual performance and aesthetics.
A previous retrofit from traditional traffic signals to LED traffic signals decreased energy use by 84% and costs by 74% (largely due to decrease staff time spent replacing bulbs). One reason this project was selected was for its ability to reduce on-going general fund expenses.

The construction of the new gymnasium at Craftsbury Academy has been a team effort between the school and members of the community.
Thirty-eight landowners donated approximately 180 trees, including 8,860 feet of Sugar Maple for the main floor and 2,860 of Yellow Birch for the out of bounds area, towards the construction of the new gym.
Tom Lathrop of Vermont Specialty Wood Products from Bristol, VT, manufactured the wood for the school at a huge savings (aprox. $35,000.00).
Don Blake from Morrisville donated all the nails, and Menard's Agway donated flooring nailers.
ORLEANS–To say Tyrah Urie is off to a good start this season would be like saying that the sun is a relatively warm place to be.
Well, much like the sun, Urie is on fire.
After scoring twice in the season opener at Lyndon, she doubled her output on Saturday, banging home four more goals in a 4-1 win over Richford, bringing her season total to six, leaving her an average of a hat-trick per game in the young season.
"Sometimes when the skill isn't good and everyone's effort stay's up, you can win some soccer games," said coach Brad Urie.
ORLEANS–Folks in attendance at the Lake Region-People's Academy boy's soccer game on Friday came away with a sense of how well this year's Rangers can play, as they more than held their own against a traditionally very good Wolves team in a 2-0 loss.
"I think we played with a lot of heart, a lot of desire, and we created some chances," said coach Tom Evans.
In fact one could argue that for several stretches of play, Lake Region was the better team.
What was working for the Rangers early was their collapsing style of defense.
NEWPORT–Matt St.Amour's penalty kick goal with 10:50 left to play in the first half was all the scoring that the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds needed, as they played the role of spoiler in the North Country boys' soccer team's home opener, winning the contest 1-0.
Although this makes two losses in a row, coach James McKenny is philosophical in his take on the situation.
"We do have somewhat of a luxury, being that it is early in the season and we can try and make some moves within the line-up and how we look on the field."
North Country 30, U-32 40
EAST MONTPELIER–The North Country football team took a 30-28 lead into the fourth quarter, but would never score again as the running game of the Raiders was too much for the Falcons to handle, and they fell by the final score of 40-30.
"Things were going well, but we just could not stop their running attack," said coach Tim Simoneau as he team now stands at 0-2.
"The offense however was doing exactly what I wanted them to do."
LYNDON–After a scoreless first half, Tyrah Urie picked up right where she left off last season, netting both goals in the Lady Rangers 2-1 win over the Vikings on Wednesday.
"We played well at times," said coach Brad Urie, who was happy to get the win, but not one hundred percent pleased with his team's performance on the field.
The first half was a back and forth forty minutes of soccer with neither team getting the upper hand.
Early in the second, Urie netted her first goal of the season, a header off of a pass from Hannah Leroux.
NORTHFIELD–Coach Jose´ Batista's prediction that Devinnie Davis and Crystal Moss were going to be impact players for the Falcons' girls soccer team came true as the duo each had two points to help lead North Country over Northfield 3-0.
"We looked very good. The girls came out hard, played well and we are very pleased with their effort," said Batista after the game.
In the first half North Country went up 1-0 on Davis' first varsity goal. Moss drew the assist on the tally.
Anna Bingham made it 2-0, with Davis getting the helper.
NEWPORT–After dropping their season opener to Rice by the score of 4-0, the North Country field hockey team had a much better showing against Montpelier, even though they were bested by the Solons 1-0.
"I think they improved on everything," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "Their spacing was good, their talking was good, and Danielle played a great game."
After the Falcons controlled the ball in the early minutes, the Solons started to find their groove.
Montpelier won the race to the scoreboard when they were able to make the best of a scoring opportunity off of a corner.
NEWPORT–With only four seniors on the 2012 roster, North Country's girls soccer team will be fielding a crew made up of primarily 11 juniors, along with said seniors, 3 sophomores and 1 freshman.
"We are looking very good, said coach Jose´Batista. "They've put in two weeks of hard training and I think that this being Peter and I's third year, it has given us a little more insight of what this league's all about and what our strength and weakness' of our program are."
NEWPORT–From the second that Colton White's opening kick-off was flagged down by the officials, you had the feeling that North Country's season opener was going to be a long affair.
Despite a low scoring first half, it took almost three hours for the Spaulding Crimson Tide to defeat the Falcons 28-16 in new head coach Tim Simoneau's first game.
"It did not go as well as I wanted it too, but there were some good things," said Simoneau. "Our offensive and defensive schemes were working, and I see a lot of potential. Now it is just a matter of execution."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Maker's Mark has learned a "painful lesson," according to many social media experts.
"We've been tremendously humbled," the Beam Inc. US:BEAM unit that produces Maker's Mark bourbon said in a statement earlier this week.
Inside the fierce campaign for Best Picture
Political-style campaigns featuring special screenings, glitzy parties, star-powered persuasion, teary interviews and an avalanche of advertising made up this year's hard-fought race for the best-picture Oscar. WSJ's Merissa Marr has details on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty Images.
As any company who has experienced it will tell you, nothing makes one feel powerless quite like drawing the ire of the social media hordes.
But the question is: What did the humbling?
Were consumers genuinely so upset that Maker's Mark planned to reduce their bourbon's alcohol content?
Or did the backlash come hardest from the cabal of Web gurus and thirsty bloggers who need something — anything — to talk about? Read more: Marker's Mark apologizes for plan to reduce alcohol content.
Web slights
In my view, it's the latter.
After all, according to Maker's Mark, cutting the bourbon's alcohol content to 42% (84 proof ) from 45% (90 proof) was intended to save consumers money and meet demand. It's highly likely that the company's extensive customer data shows that buyers are more sensitive to price than quality. Clearly those same customers also would have been quite upset if Maker's was suddenly unavailable.
But nowadays customers don't matter as much as blogs. After all, the company reversed its decision before the market responded with its wallet.
If I had been advising Maker's Mark, I would have warned them of all this. Perception is reality, I'd tell them. And if bloggers frame this story in a certain way, it's as good as true.
I'd have asked their executives to consider if there was any chance for their decision to not be framed negatively? I'd encourage them to think about the simplest interpretation of this story — because that's the one that will stick and stick most quickly.
As it turns out, I'm not sure the choice to "water down" a famous alcoholic beverage can ever be made to look good. The easiest and most flip angle for bloggers is "big company makes boneheaded decision" — which is exactly what happened.
As Maker's Mark admits, executives "made [their original] decision after an enormous amount of thought, and we focused on the wrong things."

Vaginal Bleeding
Vaginal Bleeding Overview
Unexpected bleeding is always a concern for a woman at any stage of life. Bleeding other than a normal menstrual period and even an abnormally heavy period can be a cause for alarm. The medical term for excessive or prolonged vaginal bleeding that occurs at the regular time of the menstrual cycle is known as menorrhagia. Metrorrhagia is the term used to refer to uterine bleeding at irregular intervals, particularly between the expected menstrual periods. Menometrorrhagia is the combination of the two, that is, excessive uterine bleeding, both at the usual time of menstrual periods and at other irregular intervals.
It is important to understand exactly what is causing the bleeding, its origin (uterus, vagina, or some other organ or tissue), and to make decisions about how to control or stop the bleeding.
