Saxon® 1200 Denier 150g Turnout Blanket
"My horses love to be out and this is their third season in this turnout. They are great horses but tough on clothing, and these blankets have seen a lot of wear. I especially love the cut and fit, and I am very happy with the breathability, especially when temperatures change quickly during fall and early spring."
Barbara R.
Purchasing Manager
Tough-1 1200D Snuggit Turnout 200g
"As an owner of multiple horses, proper sizing is key since builds are different on several breeds. There is no slipping, sliding, pulling, or yanking; this blanket stays on straight. As strange as it seems, there are times they opt to be out in the elements instead of the comforts of their shelter, so it is comforting to know that they are protected!"
Glossary of Blanket Terms
When it comes to blankets, everyone has their own terms. Here are a few common ones and their definitions.

Those of you who read this site regularly know that I'm a New Englander transplanted to Toronto. Well, yesterday, it finally happened. Our illustrious Mayor finally came out and admited that the video of him smoking crack (while he was in office, no less, though not actually while physcially in his office but rather while he was taking a break from his mayoral duties to visit a local crack house) is indeed real:
Here's what he said in a press conference yesterday:
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Ford said.
"But, no — do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Um, probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago."
Okay . . . I'm wondering how this helps him. It's bad enough he smokes crack while in office, but now he admits to doing it in "one of my drunken stupors." Not "in a drunken stupor," mind you, but in one of his drunken stupors. This begs two questions: exactly how often is our mayor going about in a drunken stupor? Once a week, twice a week, every day after noon (and it's always after noon somewhere, isn't it)? And if he's going about in drunken stupors with even a fair bit of regulatity, what else has he done while in them? Of course there's a dark (and not very funny) side to this story, since the two drug dealers he was filmed smoking with have both been shot since the story originally broke, and one of them killed. This does raise the rather uncomforting possibility that the mayor had one of his "friends" (many of whom it is turning out are convicted criminals) try to retrieve that video a bit too aggressively. In fact, his "driver" is now being charged with extortion apparently for his attempts to get hold of the video before the police or press got hold of it. This driver has already been convicted of wife beating and a few other unpleasantries, but Mayor Ford still found it apt to write a glowing character reference for him.
To cap it all off, after his notorious press conference, he said this:
[I am] "ashamed" [but feel like] "1,000 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders." It's hard to tell whether this is a truthful statement, as anyone who has seen pictures of Mayor Ford and his more than ample girth knows that 1,000 pounds plus or minus wouldn't make all that much difference in his appearance.
Anyway, this does have something to do with football after all, as this video from a year ago shows. I think it was filmed just before Ford was forced to give up his coaching duties at a local high school for having used city resources to do fundraising for the school team. Anyway, for those who think Brady's footwork has been poor, please watch this:
I have to admit, I'll kind of miss the good mayor when he's gone. He makes politics a whole boatload of fun up here.

Two suspected car burglars were arrested on Thursday after neighbors used social media to help Orange County deputies catch the culprits.
Deputies said a neighbor at the house across the road from where the attempted burglary took place called police and informed her neighbors of the incident immediately via website.
Residents in the Preserve gated community said that the burglars had them feeling exposed and vulnerable. The suspects were caught on video jumping over a fence early Tuesday morning, then disappeared under the cover of darkness as they broke into several cars, until they were spotted.
"The police came right out. They had helicopters here, they had the whole nine yards and they caught them," said Frank Salley, resident of the Preserve.
Police responded to the incident within 10 minutes, and Jan Velezvargas and Luis Montanez Jr., are facing several burglary charges.
Salley said that he found out about the burglaries on Nextdoor.com, which is a website his neighborhood has been using for months to track crime and share information with one another.
The website is also how Shelley Soltis, another Preserve resident, found out about the recent arrests.
"It's ridiculous that people come and steal off of hardworking people, and nothing's for free; so I hope they pay the price," Soltis said.
These neighbors said that criminals thinking of targeting their neighborhood shouldn't dare, because people are watching. The residents are looking out for one another, so they aren't an easy target.
Deputies say when the burglars jumped the fence, they had dangerous weapons with them, making their charges a first-degree felony, which is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

If your retirement date is just a few years away, it's time to start fine-tuning your 401(k) and your overall savings strategy. Retirement experts offered these nine tips for savers who are nearing retirement.
1. Stash some savings outside of retirement accounts
Many savers keep all of their retirement savings in a 401(k) or similar tax-qualified account. But consider putting some money in an account that's not tax-advantaged, said Mackey McNeill, founder and president of Mackey Advisors in Bellevue, Ky.
That way if you need a lump sum—and newly retired folks often come up with a few big expenditures, she said—you're not bumping yourself into a higher tax bracket.
"Every time it comes out of the 401(k) or IRA, it's taxable," McNeill said. Having a separate account "allows you to be more tax-efficient."
Say you decide to downsize to a condo and you find one you want to buy—but your home hasn't sold yet, so you need to pull the down payment from your retirement savings. That's a taxable distribution and, combined with your regular distributions for living expenses, could push you into a higher bracket.
Tips to fine-tune your 401(k)
If you plan to retire in five years or less it may be time to adjust your investing strategy. MarketWatch's Andrea Coombes discusses tips on how to improve your 401(k) plan.
"Something like that gets to be pricey because it's not just the down payment—it's the taxes, too," McNeill said. "If you could take a little bit now and a little bit later or have some money outside the IRA, you can manage your tax hit."
2. Make a provision for cash flow
To make sure you're not forced to sell stocks in a down market, consider investing some savings in short-term bonds and cash. Retirees should have "at least two to five years of cash flow in their portfolio, preferably five," McNeill said.
"The first four or five years of retirement, those are the periods that are most likely to send you back to work," she said. "It's when those first few years have intense negative performance—that's when the portfolio is going to fail," McNeill said. "If you have to sell stocks when they're down, [your portfolio] doesn't have enough oomph in it to recover because you're withdrawing too fast."
You can hold this money inside your tax-qualified account, such as an IRA, she said. "This is money we can use in a market correction," McNeill said.
Some clients, McNeill said, like having two IRAs, with one invested in short-term bonds and cash and the other in equities. That second account "has more volatility but I don't have to worry about that because I'm not going to tap into that for five years," she said. The first account acts as your paycheck. "If you physically separate them, people feel better about it."
3. Assess your bond portfolio
Maybe you've been shifting more money toward bonds as you get closer to retirement. The question is: what type of bonds?
Dan Goldie, president of Dan Goldie Financial Services LLC, in Menlo Park, Calif., suggests sticking to short-term, high-quality bonds.
"The purpose of fixed income in the overall portfolio is to provide stability," said Goldie, who is also co-author, with Gordon Murray, of "The Investment Answer." "The two things in the bond market that affect risk and return are credit quality and maturity length. I use high-credit-quality, short-maturity bonds," he said.
In other words, he avoids longer-term and high-yield bonds, because they "are more highly correlated with stocks," he said. "If stocks go down, chances are your long-term bond fund and your high-yield bonds will go down at the same time."
Goldie said that, in general, a portfolio that's 70% stocks and 30% short-term bonds has about the same volatility—but higher returns—than a 60% stock, 40% bond portfolio that uses long-term and high-yield bonds. "You get more bang for your buck" with the first portfolio, he said.
4. Get more conservative, but don't overdo it

BERGENHEIM SAFE AT HOME PAST MARCH 4Islanders 4, New Jersey 0
10:05 pm, The NVMC – Barring the Islanders getting completely blown away with an offer they can't refuse, Sean Bergenheim will remain with the team past the March 4 trade deadline.
A league source told Point Blank tonight that the Islanders are not seriously listening to offers for their former first round pick, who scored a first period goal tonight. Eight days ago, we speculated in this space that Bergenheim and Chris Campoli could be available. Although Campoli has been traded to Ottawa for a first round pick, do not expect the same fate for the scrappy and skilled left wing.
While the Campoli deal has mostly received praise from media and fans, it makes little sense for the Islanders to trade another young home-grown player while in the midst of a rebuild. Campoli, who asked to be traded, is a different case. Bergenheim has been consistent all season with Point Blank in his insistence that he wants to enjoy personal and team success as an Islander. After tonight's game, he took it a step further.
"I want to make it work here, on Long Island, with the Islanders," Bergenheim told us after tonight's 4-0 win over New Jersey. "I really like to live on Long Island and I want to stay here. I consider this my home now. The Islanders drafted me into the NHL and I have never forgotten that and never will. It's important to me that my NHL career takes the next step as an Islander."
Could the Islanders' knees be buckled by an offer of a top prospect and/or a projected top-15 draft choice? Sure, but Bergenheim – a very good young player, no doubt – just has not produced enough to bring back that level of bounty. Expect the 25-year old Bergenheim, who signed a two-year contract last summer, to remain an Islander for all the right reasons.
Which is how he wants it to play out.
"It hasn't been an easy season, everyone knows that," he said. "But the last month or so, I've started to feel real good about my play and even more so about our team.
"I want to tell you something, though," Bergenheim continued after thinking for a moment. "We need to find a place on this team for me."
That didn't come out from Bergenheim as selfishly as it may read. I asked him, "You mean, like a set place with specific responsibilities, on a set line with regular linemates"?
"It doesn't have to be as perfect as that," he said, "but I hope the team and I can continue to find the right role for me."
What about where he is now, on a second-third line with Frans Nielsen and Trent Hunter?
"Oh, that's been great," Bergenheim said. "That's what I mean, a place for me like that. I really think the three of us have something good together."
And to top off a good night for Bergenheim and the Islanders, he even played community activist. Besides his pursuit of a set role on the team, he added one more wish.
"I know it's out of the players' hands," he said, "but all of us on the team really want to see the Lighthouse get done."
It's like Sean Bergenheim of Finland knew it was Town of Hempstead Night.
The Game: Well, how about that? A hockey team trades two players who didn't want to be here, and the team plays fast and loose and beats the New Jersey Devils, 4-0. That's usually the way it works in the NHL around the trade deadline. If the Islanders trade another veteran or two – whether they'd like to stay or not – count on them winning some games you'd wouldn't expect.
The Lines: Comeau-Bailey-Okposo; Bergenheim-Nielsen-Hunter; Sim-Hilbert-Guerin; Tambellini-McAmmond-Jackman
Official Attendance: 15,174
About That White-Out: Something to remember about the call for fans to wear white, friends: it was created by blogger Nick Classic and a few other die-hard fans. It was not team-sponsored or run by the Lighthouse. The only way you're going to get 15,000 people wearing white is by running a full-page ad in Newsday and using all the major resources. Without the team support, that wasn't going to happen. So kudos to Nick and the rest for their efforts behind a project that means so much to them.
Scouts in Attendance: Montreal and Phoenix, plus Jari Kurri and a contingent from the Finnish National team – which could have explained the extra-extra jump in Bergenheim's step tonight.
Next Up: The Islanders practice Monday and Tuesday before back-to-backs in Pittsburgh (Wednesday) and home to Toronto. A week from tonight they host the Buffalo Sabres.

Mike Delaneys long and distinguished coaching career is not about wins and losses, although the Immaculate Heart Central baseball and basketball coach for nearly 40 years has racked up impressive numbers that stack up with anybody in the state.
Rather, Delaney will tell you the reason he still goes to practice every day, and still enjoys the challenge of molding young men into a cohesive group is the energy, enthusiasm and optimism of the kids. Thats what still keeps me involved, and why it also keeps me young.
Delaney, now at the end of his 37th season of coaching varsity baseball at IHC, recently posted his 500th career win (since then hes won his 501st). And it came in dramatic fashion as his Cavaliers overcame a 10-run early deficit against Carthage to post a 14-13 win in a Frontier League A Division matchup at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
As he always does, Delaney gave all the credit to his kids for their perseverance. He is never one to take credit for his teams success over the years, although as the dean of Frontier League coaches in both sports (he also has some 440 varsity basketball victories), he is looked upon as the quintessential teacher and usually gets as much out of his teams as anybody in the area.
Since taking over for Ted Bence for the 1976 season as varsity baseball head man at IHC, Delaneys teams have averaged nearly 14 wins a season. Delaney said the reason for all of his victories is simple.
Ive been blessed with great talent, kids who love baseball, who work hard at improving every day, and for parents who encourage them to become better players and people, he said. The secret is theyve had very good coaching before they reach the varsity. Theyve already developed very good skills, and their baseball instincts are high.
At his age, now 63 and probably not a pound heavier than when he graduated from IHC in 1967 as a decorated three-sport athlete, Delaney is seeing sons of players he coached years ago, and even a few grandsons, appear on his roster. That makes you feel old and young at the same time, he joked.
Delaney has always stressed fundamentals in his program as the cornerstone to success. Baseball requires a unique set of skills, and Ive been lucky enough to coach a lot of players with really advanced skills.
Delaney added, Baseball is a sport where you can be successful just 30 percent of the time as a hitter. So it takes a different mentality to play and succeed than some other sports.
During his long tenure, Delaney has seen the sport of baseball at the high school level evolve in many different ways.
Aluminum bats, of course, are the biggest difference in todays game, he said. Theyve made good hitters even better, and average hitters much better.
Athletes today, according to Delaney, are also in better shape, bigger, stronger and faster than when I played. They work out more, have personal trainers and work at it 12 months a year. Thirty years ago, you played baseball in the spring and summer. Now, kids are working all fall and winter to get ready for the spring and summer seasons.
Travel teams, where select kids play 60 or 70 games a summer and fall, have also helped the top players work on their specialities, he said.
And, as Delaney well knows, it puts a greater demand on coaches to be available all year long. Thats one reason why coaches dont last very long in todays world. They want to spend more time with their families.
To this day, Delaney still pitches batting practice every day. I throw 20 pitches as hard as I can to 15 guys. So when a kid tells me his arm is sore after 60 or 70 pitches, Im not sympathetic, he said.
Delaney has had so many great teams over the years, its tough to pinpoint his favorite. When pressed, he said its probably the 2006 team that won the state (Class C) title (the only Frontier League baseball team to ever accomplish that feat). There was a unique bonding on that team, and so many distinct personalities that just came together for one great stretch.
As for how long hell continue, Delaney has no answer. Hed love to stay on in baseball until his grandson, Jacob Bombard, is ready for the varsity. He is now a fifth grader.
Thats my intent, Delaney said. But I try to just take one day, one season at a time. Ill know when its time to go.
Section 3 schools Ilion and Mohawk have combined to become Central Valley Central School, beginning with the 2013-14 season.
The new district, which doesnt yet have a nickname or school colors, will remain a member of the Center State Conference, but it wont be eligible for the league title. It will be a Class A school in the CSC Division I with Class B schools Adirondack, Canastota, Clinton, Holland Patent and Sherburne-Earlville.
Rome Catholic High School, the second smallest school in Section 3, has played its last sporting event.
Earlier this spring, the Diocese of Syracuse announced the school will close after 50 years due to declining enrollment. Rome Catholic had 41 students this year in grades 9-12, second only to Tyburn Academys 34.

Happy Holiday Friends!
This year has gone by so fast I can't believe it's almost over. This past 12 months or so has been hard for many of our friends. We've lost loved ones (3 in my family alone), we've been sick, we've had money problems but the best part about it and the part that has remain the same, is our True Gold Friends. Thanks so much for always being here.
We'd like to give a big warm welcome to some new friends and some old friends. We are happy you can join us. Let us know if we can do anything to help you out. We charge big (fake) bux for tourneys so if you need some, just give us a yell. We have plenty and want everyone to be able to play.
We've had a few changes here in TGF Land. We dropped Everyone Wins Bingo 3 Card and Mahjong Gardens but the good news is we added Lost Temple Poker; we play in 50's / Free / Retirement. It's a fun game and it's a token count game.
We changed Pool Rooms because that nasty Pogo keeps taking our room away and putting it back so we will be joining our other league friends in 8 Ball / Beginners Room 027.
Our next Marathon will be hosted by Kevin (klesage8). This Marathon will start this Sunday, December 22nd at 10:00 pm. Tourney number is 1894373http://plus3.igl.net/tourney/
To those of you who are playing in the Football Tourney, check to see if you won a Mix n Match Badge and contact LuckyStaar with the one you want. Winners are posted on the Yahoo Fantasy Football site in the messages. Good Luck to All.
There's a few of you that we have not seen in a while and we miss you very much. Remember, to remain on active status you must play at least once every 3 weeks. However, you won't be purged from the league for 255 days. If you are getting close to that date, let us know if you wish to remain a member. If you are a premium member, you will not purge.
We will be hosting some on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. Come ring the new year in with Lucky. If you have plans, please drive smart and safe.

Two thirds of the illiterate people in the world are women—500 million women, to be exact.
Building on that stark fact, Huntsman School of Business Professor Ronda Callister spoke at the first ever TEDx event held at USU, in November of 2012. She used her requisite "18 minutes of innovative ideas" to describe the powerful, world-changing effects that could result from enabling women to become full contributors to human wellbeing and progress.
Dr. Callister, a professor of organizational behavior, also led a six-year, $3 million National Science Foundation grant-funded project "to improve the recruitment and advancement of women faculty in the sciences and engineering." The work resulted in documented significant improvements in both recruitment and advancement of women at Utah State over six years, from 2003-2009.

Release Date: June 26, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A pioneering academic and gay activist at the University at Buffalo has praised today's U.S. Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage as "the biggest advance in queer rights since the Lawrence v. Texas decision in 2003, which overturned anti-sodomy laws."
Art historian Jonathan D. Katz, UB professor of visual studies and founder of the Harvey Milk Institute in San Francisco, is one of nation's most prominent experts in queer studies, the academic discipline examining sexual orientation and gender identity.
"DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) was our Jim Crow, a law that made manifest our inequality, our status as second-class citizens who could be discriminated against with legal impunity," he says.
"With its demise, same-sex marriage now has real teeth, real tangible benefits. We will see a huge upsurge in same sex marriages in the next year as many more couples opt for the real, as opposed to the largely symbolic, state benefits of marriage.
"And, as the justice gap between states that have ratified same-sex marriage and states that still discriminate against us grows, the American public will grow increasingly uncomfortable with this division, and the inevitable result will be freedom to marry across the land."
In late 2010, Katz co-curated the groundbreaking exhibition "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture" at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The popular show was the first prominent American museum exhibition devoted to gay and lesbian themes.

CANTON St. Lawrence County Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, did not start out as a supporter of the Wladis Firm, Syracuse, which was hired by the county to lobby on its behalf, but he is prepared to become one.
A proponent of a multi-use trail for the county, Mr. MacKinnon has given marching orders to Leann I. West, government relations for Wladis, that he wants to see progress on trail-worthy registration of side-by-side all-terrain-vehicles.
Theyre the perfect vehicle for the person who is less than physically fit, he said. What we need is to have the state allow them to be registered.
If Wladis can identify the movers and shakers in Albany to address that issue, Mr. MacKinnon said he will happily make the trip to argue his case.
Those opposed to the hiring of Wladis for $60,000 for one year plus fees and expenses thought it an expensive way to lobby for home rule legislation that could increase the countys local share of the sales tax, but some legislators have other ideas for the company that could make the service pay for itself.
They have knowledge and expertise, Legislator Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said. Were getting a professional service. I think the advantage is clear.
The focus of the New York State Association of Counties tends to be on larger issues, such as Medicaid reform, rather than on issues specific to St. Lawrence County, Mr. Putney said.
Wladis has already identified a cooperative purchasing program with Onondaga County on which the county could piggyback. The program could save the county on the purchase of office supplies and highway material, Governmental Services Director Michael J. Cunningham said.
Every year they do a big bid and we might be able to get better pricing, he said. Those are the things were exploring right now. It could give us a tool to meet the challenges of our budget.
The county bids out 29 contracts for highway materials which are used by itself and towns and villages. By joining Onondagas contract for truckloads of copy paper, the county might save more than $2,000 annually, Mr. Cunningham said.
Onondaga also has substantial experience creating bid documents for energy efficient upgrades which St. Lawrence might benefit from.
If collaborative purchasing is successful, it might be extended across the north country, Ms. West said.
It just gives the county other options, she said.
Mr. Putney also has ideas for Waldis.
The St. Lawrence County Fire Training Facility, which is raising money for a new live burn structure to train volunteers, is often ineligible for grants because it is not a fire department and not an official part of county government.
Its a very important issue, Mr. Putney said. This is the role model for shared service.
Wladis might work on amending eligibility criteria for grants, he said.
The company could also focus on tweaking the formula used to distribute a 911 surcharge on cell phones so rural areas receive more of the funding and point county officials to those in state government who could help with the settlement of the tribal compact dispute.
Wladiss role could also be to alert the county to regulations that might prove cumbersome.
Sales tax could be a focus for Wladis, if it could help the county influence the way the state requires home rule legislation, Mr. MacKinnon said.
That would be huge if we knew who the right people were, he said.

CANTON In the first of two pre-trial hearings to be recorded for the potential trial of Bobbie Jo Zeller, a Waddington woman said she loaned money with tender loving care.
The conditional examination of June H. McQueeney, 81, in the Bobbie Jo Zeller case began Tuesday afternoon in St. Lawrence County Court.
Zeller is accused of having conned Ms. McQueeney out of more than $15,000, according to evidence submitted to the court during the testimony. Previously it had been reported that Ms. McQueeney had been defrauded of $3,000.
Zeller, 36, of 72 W. Main St., Apt. 4, faces two counts of second-degree grand larceny, two counts of third-degree grand larceny, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and one count of first-degree scheme to defraud.
Ms. McQueeneys alleged victimization comes through her relationship with retired Waddington priest Monsignor Robert L. Lawler.
Monsignor Lawler allegedly had more than $300,000 stolen from him and his parish members by Ms. Zeller who is accused of manipulating them with stories about her desperate need for cash to care for an ailing son.
We were very good friends, Ms. McQueeney said. He said he had been helping Bobbie Jo.
That was in 2010.
Monsignor Lawler hadnt asked Ms. McQueeney to help in contributing to Ms. Zellers cries for financial help, she said.
He came to a point where he said he couldnt give her any more money, Ms. McQueeney said. I said I could help her with money, and I gave her money from my savings.
But Ms. McQueeney said that help led to the depletion of those savings with a final check for $1,751.18 that closed out her Met Life account.
Seven checks came from that account, totaling $9,651.18.
Those checks were distributed between November 2010 and January 2011 with an $800 check dated Christmas Eve and a $300 check dated New Years Eve.
That was all the money that was left in that account, Ms. McQueeney said. It all went to Bobbie Jo. I cashed the checks and gave her the money.
Ms. McQueeney said Zeller continued to tell her that she needed the money, although, she confessed, she never knew quite what for.
And as District Attorney Nicole Duve continued to submit packets of photocopied checks from an additional account Ms. McQueeney had at Community Bank NA, 25 checks totaling, of $15,451.18 were authenticated as being cashed for the purpose of helping Zeller.
Every time I gave her money I said I expected to have this paid back, Ms. McQueeney said.
When Ms. Duve asked her how much of that money she saw returned, Ms. McQueeney replied, Not a penny. Never a bit.
The checks were either cashed by her or written out to Monsignor Lawler, all for the purpose of going to help Ms. Zeller, Ms. McQueeney said Tuesday.
I thought I was helping her, Ms. McQueeney said, and as a sign of that help she wrote the letters TLC on eight of those checks on the memo line.
TLC, which stood for tender loving care, because I believed they were going to help Bobbie Jo, Ms. McQueeney told Ms. Duve when she was asked what the letters stood for.
Ms. McQueeneys testimony will continue at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Lawrence County Court.

WATERTOWN - Housing projects near Fort Drum usually boost enrollment numbers at Indian River School District, and officials are preparing for another big one that is expected to increase the scope of a multimillion-dollar capital project now being planned.
California developer Fidelity Holdings Corp. plans to build anywhere from 215 to 230 multifamily townhouse rental units off Route 11, north of Eagle Ridge Village. The developer is making a push to approve the project in the town of LeRay this fall and break ground in the spring, finishing construction in three years. District and town officials are scheduled to meet Oct. 30 with the developer to discuss the plan.
Geared toward high-ranking military officers with families, the townhouse development is expected to create a major surge in enrollment at the district, Business Manager James R. Koch said, and it could mean that more classrooms and building space will be needed for its capital project. The capital project calls for improvements at all eight of the districts schools, including primary schools in Antwerp, Evans Mills, Calcium, Theresa and Philadelphia. The district aims to approve the capital project by the end of the year, Mr. Koch said. It then would be considered by voters for approval in May during the annual school district budget vote.
Mr. Koch will report student population projects to the board in November based on the anticipated impact of the Fidelity project. Based on those projections, he said, the board will have to consider expanding its capital project. He did not have a preliminary estimate on how many students the project could generate. But if the project averages two students per townhouse, it could boost enrollment by up to 460 students.
If they build, were going to have to build, Mr. Koch said. Were going to need to move ahead of this as far as we can, because kids will be moving in there quickly. Its usually light the first year of construction, then it gets heavier as the number of units increase. The board will need time to react to this project before the capital campaign is approved.
District board members also will have to consider a three-year tax break that Fidelity plans to pursue this fall. The payment-in-lieu-of-taxes deal will be negotiated by the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency on behalf of Fidelity. It also will require approval by the town of LeRay and Jefferson County.
Enrollment numbers at the district have skyrocketed in recent years, Mr. Koch said, thanks to the number of housing projects built near Fort Drum. The latest districtwide student count in late September of 4,471 including students from kindergarten through 12th grade was 501 students more than last year at the same time, when 3,980 students were enrolled.
Enrollment is expected to continue climbing this year, Mr. Koch said, because of the number of families with children moving into new rental townhouses at Eagle Ridge Village off Route 342. A total of 92 units under construction will start opening up for families this fall at the site. When those units are completed in the spring, the subdivision will include a total of 740 units built over the past six years.
Indian River has led districts in the region with the highest enrollment count since the fall of 2011, when it surpassed Watertown City School District.

Leviton Acenti Brushed Stainless Steel Wall Plates: Icing on the Cake for Modern Decor
Filed under: Electrical
Two and a half weeks ago, my husband and I wrapped up our final DIY project of 2010: making our wallpapered, dark-paneled kitchen a little (actually, a lot) easier to look at. While the rest of our little house has a good dose of original 1920s charm, the kitchen had fallen victim to several decades worth of "cheapest way out" fixes, and was more or less begging for mercy. So we scraped layer after scary layer of wallpaper, and then sanded, primed and painted the heck out of the wood paneling beneath. After that, all that was left to do was put in a backsplash where there had been none before.
So, in order to keep things vintage-but-not-too-old-fashioned and stay in harmony with the age of the house, we used some faux pressed-tin tiles to complete the look (for the record, they look awesome). They're modern and "old school" all at once, and are even kind enough to match our brushed nickel cabinet hardware. So believe me, the last thing we wanted to do was screw up the whole look by slapping white plastic wall plates back onto the outlets once our "metal" backsplash was installed.
The solution? Brushed stainless steel wallplates, like this one from Leviton's Acenti line. They're sleek, beautiful, allow for a flawless transition between electrical outlets and the stainless steel decor surrounding them, and compared to a lot of other home upgrades that you could be shelling out for, relatively inexpensive. And what I like about Leviton Acenti stainless wall plates is that they're available in many more configurations than you'd find at most local home and garden centers. While most retailers typically carry classic single-gang styles (and maybe double-gang if they're getting really fancy), the Leviton plates are available in up to 6-gang configurations, so you're covered in almost any conceivable situation, from your kitchen to a large office.

The idea behind the legislation, which Cicilline says is similar to a bill he introduced two years ago, is "to help the competitiveness of manufacturers and to provide them with critical resources to address the skills gap that can hinder growth in this industry, to increase exports and domestic supply chains, improve energy efficiency and to retool and expand their facilities to succeed in a 21st Century economy."
In a bow to the host of his midday press conference, Cicilline said, "Companies like North East Knitting are performing faster and producing higher quality goods than their international competitors, and they were able to get this edge through investment in new machines, a skilled workforce and lots of determination."
Alex DaRosa, vice president of North East Knitting, which provides materials for the apparel, medical and defense industries, told reporters, "We are very excited about Congressman Cicilline's Make it in America Manufacturing Act. "While many of our competitors have already set up plants outside the United States, we are still 100 percent U.S.A. made and are proud of this fact. We label each of our cartons, "Proudly Made in the USA."
The legislation would allocate grant funds through the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Labor to establish a revolving loan fund that would make low-interest loans to manufacturers to
establish, retool, retrofit, or expand manufacturing facilities; improve energy or process efficiency; access new markets, grow export capabilities, and facilitate new domestic supply chain connections, and perform other activities authorized by the Secretaries of Commerce and Labor for the purpose of carrying out a manufacturing enhancement strategy.
Funds could also be used to award grants to not-for-profit third parties, such as community colleges, to provide on-the-job and off-site training, create apprenticeship programs, and support training and education initiatives that align with employer demand and result in industry-recognized credentials. Not-for-profit third parties can also receive grant funding to provide technical assistance to manufacturers to help them access new international markets to boost exports, as well as identify and pursue new opportunities for domestic supply chain connections and additional new markets.
James Brett, president of the New England Council, an industry group that advocates and lobbies for New England manufacturers in Washington, DC, said that, with Cicilline's legislation, "we could see 8,000 new jobs that an average of $80,000 a year. And 8,000 jobs could be created annually in New England.
"Manufacturing is a very, very significant portion of New England's economy," Brett added. "Here in Rhode Island, over 40,000 people are employed in manufacturing with an average salary of $62,000."
Cicilline's bill, he said, "is just the kind of investment and support that manufacturers in New England and our nation need to continue to grow and create these jobs."
Raymond Fogarty, director of the John H. Chafee Center for International Business at Bryant University, said, "In a state our size, if we can't do it no one can. I think we already have all the pieces in place to do it."
Barney Heath, acting director of Pawtucket's Department of Planning and Redevelopment told The Times, "This is great, the possibility of more manufacturing is great for the city. It means more jobs, more industry, more use of buildings that are vacant and abandoned. There's nothing not to like about this, for Pawtucket or for America."
David Carlin of the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce Coalition, agreed.
"Northern Rhode Island has probably the strongest history in the state of providing good manufacturing jobs. Just like the congressman said, "we believe there is a strong future, not only in northern Rhode Island, but in the state and the United States for manufacturing. Legislation like this would be great for workforce development opportunities and on-the-job training, which we are concentrating on at the state level. It fits in very well with what the chamber is supporting."
