Secure entrance, Discovery Lab part of improvements at Swallow School
Swallow School District's roots stretch back 171 years, so it's no surprise that the school building has been subjected to numerous additions and renovations over the years.
More took place this summer, as the building's front entrance was improved and secured, an existing computer lab was redesigned into a hands-on Discovery Lab, and work took place to start transforming the library into a learning-friendly Discovery Center.
Secure front entrance
The school's front entrance received a major facelift over the summer, making it secure, more user-friendly and ADA-compliant, said Swallow Superintendent Melissa Thompson.
Thompson said an active shooter drill staged at the school in 2014 helped illustrate the shortcomings of the previous design.» Read Full Article
Pewaukee woman says trip to see Pope Francis in Philadelphia was a 'once in a lifetime' experience
Village of Pewaukee — "I was there. That's all that matters."
That's how Pewaukee resident Mary Lynn Mattick describes her trip to Philadelphia to see Pope Francis, even though she didn't personally get to meet the pontiff.
The 65-year-old recently returned from her trip east with a tote full of mementos, photos and pope-related souvenirs in tow.
Mattick said her favorite memory was seeing Pope Francis drive by the front of the Crowne Plaza Philly West on City Avenue, where she stayed during her visit.
"You could see him in the Fiat with the light on in the back seat and they had the whole street barricaded," she said. "It was like the "pope express lane" because they had just that road part open for him."» Read Full Article
North Prairie Fire Chief Brian Taylor announces retirement
Village of North Prairie — Village Trustee Donna Samuels read from a letter from North Prairie's Fire Chief Brian Taylor, announcing his plans to retire at the end of the year during an Oct. 8 village board meeting.
"I have placed my life on hold while I have served the department," Taylor said in the letter. "I realize that this is a bad time with all the consolidation talks in process."
Taylor originally had wanted to retire at the end of 2014, but talks of merging the North Prairie and Eagle fire departments put it on hold. Those talks are still ongoing.
The letter made reference to the chief being in a car accident involving a train in 1989. Both of his legs were broken.
The letter said he was rescued by the North Prairie Fire Department.» Read Full Article
Holly Wehrhahn steers ship of UW-Waukesha's Continuing Education Department
Education is a big part of young people's lives — from elementary school to high school and college — but it doesn't have to stop there. That's where Holly Wehrhahn comes in. Wehrhahn, 47, of Eagle, is the interim director of Continuing Education at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha, a position she's held for the past two years. From photography to religion to professional development to world travel, chances are there's an opportunity to learn more about it through the school's Continuing Education Department.
During a recent interview with Lake Country Publications, Wehrhahn, a UW-Waukesha alumnus and UW-Oshkosh graduate, talked about her start with UW-Waukesha, some of the many offerings of the school's Continuing Education Department, and about a facility that some think is Waukesha County's best-kept secret.
Here's more from our conversation:
1 Tell me a bit about your background.
In 2008, I started as a part-time employee in Continuing Education (at UW-Waukesha) and immediately loved it. I loved helping our students enrich their lives. Time goes so quickly because no one day is ever the same. I completed my bachelor's degree in 2011 and have been working full-time in continuing education ever since. I've been serving as the interim director now for the past two years and love being able to provide learning opportunities for the community.
Loaf & Jug Restaurant moving from Brookfield to Pewaukee
Village of Pewaukee — A longtime Brookfield restaurant is moving to Pewaukee.
Loaf & Jug Restaurant, which has a 38-year history in Brookfield, will be moving to 690 Westfield Way in the village, on the east side of the Lake Country Market shopping plaza, the former home of Panera Bread.
The village plan commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit on Oct. 8 for the move. The restaurant is currently located in the Sendik's Towne Centre, 18895 W. Capitol Drive.
Loaf & Jug owner Gordon Sloan said he's moving because he's unable to come to terms on a new lease with his current landlord, and the owner of the new space, Paul Kolaga, is a customer of his and is "more than happy" to rent to him.
Plan commission member Tom Reilly also is pleased the eatery is moving west.» Read Full Article

Yes to local police department, chief position tabled in Village of Eagle
Village of Eagle— With the village police department receiving heat since the village approved a pricey retirement package for Police Chief Russ Ehlers, residents have been divided on paying for their own department, vying response times and budget savings in the argument.
Some said to use the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department for a year and the village could have the option to go back to its own department.
Village Trustee Greg Hein and several residents said the issue should go to referendum to let residents decide.
However, the board voted on Oct. 8 to keep its local police department, but tabled any action on hiring a police chief until further information was provided to determine if a full-time chief was necessary.
Trustee Lynette Neuburg said the department is "an incredible presence in the community," making her feel her kids are safe, but she admits they need to work on the budget.» Read Full Article
Village of Eagle squashes Bielinski senior apartment plan — again
Village of Eagle— Hoping for a conceptual nod from the village board to push a yearslong project ahead, Nancy Washburn, of Bielinski Homes, left the Oct. 8 village of Eagle board meeting empty-handed.
After apologizing for "making abrupt statements I really shouldn't have made" at the Aug. 13 village board meeting, Washburn came to the board to "continue the discussion," on a project for a 60-unit senior apartment project in the village of Eagle. Washburn said Bielinski "made serious concessions," trying to create a project that provides apartments with rent set at "reasonable prices."
However, when pushed for final numbers on rent prices, Washburn could only provide "goals," since Bielinski hadn't done any work on the project since the August meeting. Washburn said Bielinski was waiting for conceptual approval from the board before hard numbers could be provided.
Village of Eagle President Richard Spurrell was disappointed that no work had been done on the project in two months and there still were no solid numbers on the project.
"Affordable is different to each person," Spurrell said. "We're going to base this on a goal after there's been no work done?"» Read Full Article
North Lake commissioners discuss reducing daily fish limits, marking sandbars
North Lake management officials are considering reducing daily bag limits for fish as part of an effort to keep the lake's fish population robust.
The current limits are set by the state and vary by species. North Lake Management District Chairman Jerry Heine said district commissioners on Tuesday, Oct. 6, discussed the idea of either reducing the daily limit or implementing a "slot limit," or perhaps both.
A slot limit refers to a restriction on keeping fish in a certain size range.
Heine said the 438-acre lake is "heavily fished," and a slot limit would keep reproducing fish in the lake to help maintain the population.
Commissioners also talked about a proposal to protect fish habitat by marking the lake's sandbars with buoys.» Read Full Article

Former Oconomowoc family safe amidst historic South Carolina storms
Former Oconomowoc resident Heidi Rumpel reluctantly is living inside a historic moment.
Rumpel, her husband, Mark, and their three children Ethan, 11, Mayah, 9, and Macie, 6, have holed up inside their Columbia, South Carolina home since Friday, Oct. 2 when record amounts of rain began to fall on the state.
Rain continued to fall unabated throughout the weekend and into Monday, Oct. 5, causing extensive flooding and widespread damage. The deluge has ground everyday life there to a halt.
More than 500 roadways in South Carolina have been shut down as a result of the rain, Rumpel said when she was reached by phone Tuesday, Oct. 6, and many of the shops and businesses her family frequents have been completely destroyed by the flooding.
Additionally, various major media outlets are reporting that more than a dozen people have died as a result of the downpour and its aftermath.» Read Full Article

Kettle Moraine School District recognized for financial reporting
Kettle Moraine School District has been awarded the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for having met or exceeded the program's high standards for financial reporting and accountability, according to a news release from the district.
The district was recognized for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ending 2014.
Described as "the gold standard in financial reporting," according to the award website at http://asbointl.org, the recognition has been awarded to schools for more than 40 years.
Sponsored by VALIC, a leading retirement plan provider for K-12 schools and districts, the Certificate of Excellence (COE) award confirms the school business office's commitment to financial accountability and transparency.

"The Kettle Moraine School District is committed to strong financial reporting systems and transparency with our stakeholders," said Superintendent Dr. Patricia Deklotz. "Our business office, which is led by Assistant Superintendent of Operations Susan Graham Balzer, works very hard to ensure our schools have the resources they need to educate students.

Hartland-Lakeside/Merton joint school board meeting to address merger questions
Village of Hartland — Questions about governance, finance and legal issues related to a possible merger of the Hartland-Lakeside and Merton school districts figure to get plenty of attention at a special meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, at North Shore Middle School, 800 North Shore Drive.
That's when school boards from both districts will meet jointly for the first time to discuss a possible consolidation. Robert Butler, associate executive director and staff counsel for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards will explain the legal considerations of a potential merger. Debby Schufletowski, school business specialist from Robert W. Baird, is scheduled to give a presentation on the financial aspect of such a move.
Neither school board will take action at the meeting, according to the agenda.
The meeting comes as Hartland-Lakeside school officials mull options to address what Superintendent Glenn Schilling has termed "extensive" deficits in the coming years due to declining enrollment and decreasing state aid. Closing one of the district's elementary schools also is being explored.

By Carol Cratty
FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged the law enforcement agency uses drone aircraft in the United States for surveillance in certain difficult cases.
Mueller told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that drones are used by the FBI in a "very, very minimal way and very seldom."
He did not say how many unmanned surveillance vehicles (UAVs) the FBI has or how often they have been used.
But a law enforcement official told CNN the FBI has used them a little more than a dozen times but did not say when that started. The official said drones are useful in hostage and barricade situations because they operate more quietly and are less visible than traditional aircraft such as helicopters.
The FBI said it used a UAV earlier this year to monitor the situation where a boy was held hostage in a bunker in Alabama.
Bureau spokesman Paul Bresson said their use allows "us to learn critical information that otherwise would be difficult to obtain without introducing serious risk to law enforcement personnel."
Bresson said the aircraft can only be used to perform surveillance on stationary subjects and the FBI must first get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly in a "very confined geographic area."
Surveillance fallout
Mueller's comments come as the Obama administration grapples with political and other fallout from the public disclosure of top-secret surveillance programs, which has triggered new debate over reach of national security vs. privacy rights.
National security and law enforcement officials have defended National Security Agency telephone and e-mail surveillance of overseas communications as an effective tool in fighting terror.
President Barack Obama has assured Americans the government is not listening to their phone conversations or reading their e-mail.
But Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, asked Mueller whether the FBI had guidelines for using drones that would consider the "privacy impact on American citizens."
Mueller replied the agency was in the initial stages of developing them.
"I will tell you that our footprint is very small," he said.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein expressed concern over drone use domestically.
"I think the greatest threat to the privacy of Americans is the drone and the use of the drone, and the very few regulations that are on it today and the booming industry of commercial drones," the California Democrat said.
Mueller said he would need to check on the bureau's policy for retaining images from drones and report back to the panel.
"It is very narrowly focused on particularized cases and particularized needs and particularized cases," said Mueller. "And that is the principal privacy limitations we have."
Sen. Mark Udall, a Colorado Democrat, said he was concerned the FBI was deploying drone technology and only in the initial stages of developing guidelines "to protect Americans' privacy rights."
Grassley wants answers from Holder
Grassley sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder following the hearing asking why written information Holder sent him last month about federal law enforcement use of drones included related information about the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives and the Drug Enforcement Administration, but not the FBI.
Grassley sought answers to several questions and asked Holder to reply by June 28. He wants to know who at the FBI authorized drone use and information on the uses and limitations of their use and whether any are armed or capable of being armed.
The Justice Department said it was reviewing Grassley's letter.
Mueller said Wednesday the drones were used for surveillance.
Members of Congress and privacy advocates have pressed for regulations on the use of drones, and their use in counterterror operations overseas was a controversy that flared publicly during confirmation hearings for CIA Director John Brennan earlier this year.
Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, delayed a vote on Brennan with a filibuster over the possible use of drones against American citizens on U.S. soil.
Attorney General Eric Holder told Paul in a March 4 letter that "the U.S. government has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so."
Last month, Paul introduced legislation to prevent "unwarranted government intrusion" by drones.
The bill proposes that law enforcement officers be prohibited from using drones to gather surveillance or collect evidence without a warrant, unless there is an imminent danger to life or a high risk of a terrorist attack.
The measure also makes an exception so that drones can be used to patrol the nation's borders. The Senate has not taken up Paul's proposal. A similar one was previously introduced in the House.
Drone use more common
Unmanned drone use is becoming more common in the United States although it is not lawful in many cases.
The FAA forecasts some 10,000 civilian drones will be in use in the United States within five years, including those for law enforcement and commercial purposes.
Amie Stepanovich, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, has previously said law enforcement should not use drones as an alternative to police patrols.
She said that they should be used for specific operations and that Congress should pass a law requiring legal permission.
Because they are cheaper to use than helicopters, unmanned aircraft can be used to monitor crops and livestock, look at damage to buildings and for other uses.
The FAA recently announced plans to create six drone test sites around the country.
"FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged the law enforcement agency uses drone aircraft in the United States for surveillance in certain difficult cases." I don't have a problem with this. I think it probably is great for ease dropping. As long as they are not shooting missiles i really don't care.
Finally the drone conversation is going to be heard. CNN hid the authorization of drones by Congress at 4 a.m. and for about half an hour... instead put their entire repertoire into... Whitney Houston. I oppose drones.
In these days of austerity and relative anxiety about incurring debt, lots of people balk resistant to the idea of using a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or even pay for a holiday, preferring, instead to rely on this tried along with trusted approach to making transaction – cash. However, if you possess cash there to make the purchase fully, then, paradoxically, that's the best time to use the credit card for several factors.
FBI Uses Drones in U.S., Says Mueller
If I understand correctly, the FBI's authority extends only within the U.S. Outside the U.S. it would be CIA I believe.
seems a very good example is Mueller's face does he look happy? is there a sparkle in his eye and hope in his smile? ... looks like misery too me ...
i think they use them more than they say i caught one spying on me one day and im just a simple farmer broke out a telescope and it scurried off behind the mountain and i am not kidding i had witnesses seems if they think even the slightest odd about you they'll be a peeking in yer window ,here is a quote no one knows about , we oppose the deceivers , believe there is still good out there, every one its getting a bit bleak now a days seems the best any one can do is try your hardest be good and fight with kindness show them how happy you are because these people are sad miserable people who live in fear we should pity them they are destroying our planet but they have to much power for any one to do any thing about it except point out there misery, be happy and hope.....
I think they got you making the moonshine....
Perhaps like with NSA Surveillance, Obama will say FBI drones have saved lives, but this begs the question: have those lives really been worth saving? Fortunately, the FluffingtonPost has the answer via an exclusive exposé of the "NSA Eight"! (Great satire) http://bit.ly/16j9NmN
People say there is a RACE problem. People say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY and ONLY into White countries.
People say the only solution to the RACE problem is if ALL and ONLY White countries "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people, Anti-Whites agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
What in the world does this rant have to do with the story, Dale Gribble?
You must be living a life of misery with so much rascism! DRONE SURVAILLANCE is the topic not WHITE PEOPLE UNDER THREAT OF EXTINCTION! Also with People like me still around it won't happen although i am not white.
Remote controlled crafts are not drones, they are different in many ways, the only similar things are they record and transmit video and can fly. It's about time we started using these things to help control those that like to break laws and run from society. The rest of us have nothing to be concerned about.
What would they think of next? Using kites and pigeons?
Why wouldn't the US use drones inside the USA. They are already getting information from mobile phones, computers etc targeting certain groups of people. So if they will do all of these things why not use drones inside the USA? So I don"t trust this who scandal. This white house is the most corrupt in history.
drones in society; in the near future will be a norm just like helicopters
I'm sure this makes dems happy. Now they can spy of republicans even more than they already do.
Why not profile people before thy are born---Oops abortion laws.
Google used a satellite to photo my house and backyard and put it out there for everyone to see it. Dry grass spots are clearly visible. I am embarrassed!
You are a tool, twit.
Drones used on U.S. soil is unacceptable. Maybe its time to start spying on those who are spying on us. I mean if they can break the law, why can't we?
what, specifically, is your problem with an unmanned vehicle in U.S. airspace? are you going to ban RC airplane hobbyists if they put a camera on their planes, too?
Gotta have a human in the plane!
The article is a huge success. The idea was to rile up the goob folks. And it worked so beautifully!
Hey, drones are another technical tool just like planes and helicopters, cameras. heat sensors, etc., for the law enforcement folks to do their work for you.
I assume we don't own the airspace above our house. So, could my neighbor buy a drone equipped with cameras and fly it over my property? If I don't own the airspace above my house, then I would think so.
Usually an angle is required to get better photos and videos. So your neighbor does not have to violate the airspace right above your house. He can take the video flying over the public street.
I understand that we need to get into some peoples phone records to fight terror but I draw the line over the use of drones in America. the chance of losing freedom out weighs the potential gain from this invasion of privacy.
What's the difference between a pilot being in the aircraft or in a cubicle? What line is there to draw? You can spy on me as long as there is a pilot in the aircraft? Silly
Lighten up folks on the drone issue.. What's the diff between the pilot being inside the aircraft or sitting in the back of some trailer? It just saves the taxpayer valuable money and fuel doing the same thing with a cheap drone. Just because in iraq everything can be fitted with missiles.. since when has anybody seen a police chopper stateside fitted with missiles? ridiculous idea.. just hope someone just as ridiculous doesn't try it.
I fully agree with you that there should be no distinction drawn between a pilot flying from inside the aircraft or from a remote location, but the issue at stake here isn't about being uncomfortable about unmanned aircraft. It is about the fact that any aircraft, manned or otherwise, are secretly and invisibly monitoring the country. It's a privacy concern.
Would you object to a drone the size of a briefcase hovering outside your windows and taking pictures because you are a member of a certain political party? What if it was following your kids to school? That is why guidelines need to be developed.
omg you have be living under a rock to not know this was going on... how stupid do they think people are (or how stupid are people).
This is a travesty and the FBI should be brought up on charges of treason (along with the CIA and NSA)..
If another country uses drone to spy on it's people then it's bad.
If drones are only used for things that traditionally were done by manned aircraft it's not a big deal. But that's the real quesiton. There should be independent people allowed to monitor drone usage within the U.S.
I think it's important to consider that with manned aircraft there existed a practicality limit in how much could be surveiled, and as such, it was understood that greater scrutiny would be required before LE would undertake aerial surveillance due to the constraints on manpower, time, fuel, etc. With the use of UAVs they have far fewer physical constraints and it may be important to introduce policy constraints as a compromise that was formerly unnecessary.
please tell me that everyone already knew that we're all being watched and that you all did not need confirmation... Please tell me we're not that dumb as a population....please..
People shouldn't be shocked, but we shouldn't be complacent either. Our privacy is gone, robots are flying around spying on us and all we do is shrug our shoulders and say "Oh yeah, I knew this was going on." like that makes us intelligent somehow? I'd rather people be shocked and outraged than jaded and passive.
Outrage and madness does what? The point is that nobody is going to do anything about it except post on sites such as this. People are lazy and it takes time and effort to stop something like this. This will be a subject for a few weeks and then everyone will forget it.
So, it has now come to this.
Hopefully, the resolution of the drone cameras will be sufficient to detect my upraised middle finger.
They can do that from outer space since the Regan administration..
As soon as the word 'drone' is mentioned, people freak out. 'Drone' doesn't mean it was armed, only that it was controlled by a human pilot who was remote instead of on-board. The legality of this type of airborne surveillance is no different than a manned police helicopter. Seriously, anyone who has ever looked at Google Maps knows you don't need a warrant to look out the window of a helicopter or plane.
How do you know that the drones are not armed? Do you work for NSA or what?
we know they're not armed because they don't need to be armed. that would be a tremendous expense that they do not need.
Funny how all this stuff was fine and dandy when "Dubya" and the GOP rammed he "Patriot" Act thru congress.
Just beautiful....................what next?
I don't understand this. We don't have money to secure our borders but we have money to spy on american citizens... and with the latest technology. All this money and technology should've been used to capture Mexico's drug cartel lords and to prevent human trafficking (aka as their corrupt politicians, military officials and police).
What an excellent point!!!
See, now why would you wanna stop the drug lords when you make good money off of them? Come on!!! Just saying if the government really wanted to stop the drugs n traffic then they would! Look at our technology, they found Bin laden, you telling me they cant catch the drug lords?! LMAOx10
This is NOT America.
How is this news. Everyone flies drones now. Heck I fly drones what's the big deal.
Yea I fly my own personal drone too. I watch the governments' drones with my drone.
Welcome to The Obama Totalitarian States of America.
Just what is the difference between a drone with a camera in government owned air space and a man with binoculars in a chopper or a man with binoculars on the hill side or in a tree. NONE. This argument about method is crazy.
Things are about to get real real.
We have to realize a religion changed our lives.We have to get down in the muck with them to fight them.Normal rules do no apply anymore.
Yeah, ALL religion changed our lives, should we go after Christians for the massacre of Native Americans? You actually believe violence will solve this? You must be religious.
More people die in bathtubs every year than from terrorism. A religion did not change your life, your fear of low percentage catastrophe did. Freedom isn't free. I wonder how many people who shout that really understand what it means. Freedom isn't free. You have to accept a level of risk for your freedom. If you don't want to have your pockets patted down when you enter a public place you have to accept the .00000000018% chance that someone will bring a grenade in and blow you up. If someone is willing to give up their life for the chance to kill others it's going to be difficult to stop them, especially if their target is "whoever". The answer here is not to hand over the keys to your house car and safe deposit box to the government for "protection".
nothing to fear other than this administration has shown it will kill americans without due process. move along nothing to see here
Why do you need a warrant to look at anything that is visible from government or public area. Does a cop need a warrant to look in your front yard as he goes down the street. The crazy tea party want a world with no laws and no enforcement. The drive is really toward who owns the air space above property. When you buy a piece of property will you own the air space above it, will it become yours, will you charge airlines and aircraft to fly over your property. Will you be able to sell those air rights how about those radio and TV electronic waves will they be able to pass through your air space.
kmac: "Does a cop need a warrant to look in your front yard as he goes down the street"
No, but would you be ok with him climbing on your roof or fence to see what you're doing in your own backyard that you've grown hedge to protect your privacy?
This is no surprise either about the drones. It is amazing how we wake up so fast. Now we have someone digging up an old plane crash just for the price of the commercial time it can sell. I doubt many of the victims of this thing needs this again in their lives. I can see now former people who investigated or helped, coming out of the woodwork,for pay,to rewrite what they must have helped cover up before ,if this new version is true. They had their chance then,why not then.
2013 is the new 1984.
Thanks Pres Obama and AG Holder.
You're welcome.
I don't see how this is different than car cams or using motorcycles, helicopters or robots. I expect law enforcement to use the best tools available to keep the peace. I don't think this is at all like reading my email or listening to my phone conversations. Google glass is 10 times more invasive as far as I am concerned.
Your right about Google glass. Once the pervs get a hold of that it will be a more ridiculous world, but I do have problems with drones too. With the less risk involved on the law enforcement side I can see this easily getting implemented further and further. London had the expense and permission of property owners of putting surveillance cameras through out the city, but a drone with the new ultra-pixel cameras on it can sweep several blocks at once. I see these being over every major city if not put in check.
So you say to yourself, so what? I'm not up to anything so why do I care. If you take everything in total, all your digital history and records with your personal comings and goings, all this information can easily be made in retrospect to make you look like you were capable of anything. This is also the core of what values we stand for. "Those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither." – Benjamin Franklin
Well here's another take on the idea. Whose to say that information gathered is always used for law enforcement? It has been proven time and again how corrupt private information gatherers sell out to the highest bidders, so on one side you have a legal safe use but like anything else put into the hands of government, it will be abused and abused and abused.
I say if it is used for life saving issues and limited to that, fine any other use such as eavesdropping, general gathering of intel should be banned and anyone caught in the act of such will get 20 years. min. now hows that working for ya?????
And I admit to shooting them down when they enter my airspace.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out there to get you!
But 99 percent of the time, it does.
exactly. and its not like people don't have reason to be paranoid, or that they should lose their rational brain.
Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Catch-22.
Boy, the news keeps getting worse and worse for our country. At some point the sheepsters are going to revolt. I have been a huge Obama supporter, but this latest news makes me wonder if the guy has any control over the country.
OMG!!!! How could you say that???? He has control......................over Chad and a few other nothing places...................
I am way more ok with drones flying over us then downloading my emails and such. However, these baby steps towards a real life big brother is a little disturbing.
I don't have a problem with the use of drones for surveillance. I do have a problem with the continued "misstatements" and convenient "ommissions" coming out of Holder & this administration. Waiting to hear Holders' excuse this time
Drones are the biggest threat to commercial and general aviation since its inception.
Fine with me.
If you have not done anything wrong.....you have nothing to worry about.
Let the NSA and the FBI do their jobs.
It's not that you are doing something wrong. They are. And with all the laws that pass right under your nose, you probably are doing something wrong. Silly American.
Terrible argument. If we start allowing this, then what's wrong with just allowing warrantless searches? If you've done nothing wrong, what's the problem?
Says the person who doesn't even use a real name for a posting ID.
Your argument has been used by all totalitarian governments to keep an eye on and to control their citizens (Soviets, Chinese, etc.)
I agree that criminals have the most to worry about, but if you think there has been mistakes and abuses of power by local police departments in the past, just wait until the government starts a targeted strike program by drones.
How is this news? Drones were used to find Chris Dorner
Everybody remember when you thought people like Alex Jones were crazy, saying the NSA was recording your phone calls, drones were watching you etc?
Sadly, a lot of you shrug and say "Well they ARE crazy to think the government would ever do anything bad..."
welcome to the jewnited states of israel...AIPAC/israel=9/11
Know who the REAL enemy is...
Have you been discharged with honor; from US military service?
Do you own a Bible ?
Do you own an American flag ?
Do you own ANY guns ?
Have you EVER had ANY thoughts of LIMITED GOVERNMENT ?
Have you EVER said ANYTHING bad about PUBLIC UNIONS ?
Have you EVER thought that you have been taxed too much ?
Are you opposed to TAX PAYER funded; abortion on demand ?
Have you EVER listened to conservative talk radio ?
Where is that ARMED DRONE now???
What is the ETA to this guy ???
our founding fathers created a weak federal governmennt for a reason. Right now we are witnessing what happenes wheb the federal gov. is given too much power. Forget states rights, what about the rights of the citizens? if something isn't done to stop things like this and take power away from the fed and the president, then we might as well resign ourselves to an oligarchy.
Too bad the FBI wasn't able to use their drones to help find Jimmy Hoffa the last 30 or 40 times they dug for him.
This is quite entertaining. Sounds like Chuck Henry is black because rather doing any stating of facts he just throws the race card around. Keep up the ad hominym attacks will confide no one. My ancestors came from Germany and Hitler and it sure sounds like you need to read up on that. How did he come to power? Or did they not teach that at your school? Btw Grassley just lives down the road. He's a farmer and just a regular guy. Read his story while you're at it. To everyone around here who he may interact with he's just Chuck not Charles.
Within last two years, a drone crashed in El Paso, Texas, and the party responsible was never identified, was the owner the FBI, Border Patrol or military?
none of the above. it was operated by the Mexican government, it had gone off course and crashed.
Now that explains the nightly noise and light over my house but my neighbor swears that they are UFO's and not drones.
to defeat the national debt we could secede from the union declare states sovereignty. Either that or go to war against the federal government. What are they gonna do when our own troops stand down their orders to fire on us? Hire their UN thugs to try and wax us? We are tired of a government of by and for Banks and Lobbyists.
The answer to 1984 is 1776
Pretty soon drones will be sending you speeding tickets in the mail
We are already living in a police state. We have surrendered our freedom because of a few crazies from Saudi Arabia.
Or Kenya.
I have some very bad neighbors a few streets over send in the drones. At 2:00 A.M. when they are partying hit them and hit them hard (;
Its Really STRANGE how all the criminal activity is called scandals? Why is no one in JAIL???? This country is F*^ked... Run while you can....
Spying on computers and using other technology is okay when evidence is presented to an independent court and a warrant is granted. It is called CHECKS AND BALANCES.
I normally agree. but not when those courts are secret... where is the check and balance there?
I have been suspecting that for a long time. If you have this technology then your government will use it against you. Their is no more accountability.
Well who wouldn't use drones? Loads cheaper than law enforcement sending up a manned helicopter.
Certainly true, and I don't have any major objections to such things. But there needs to be proper oversight to guard against abuse, and someone needs to think about what might happen when one of these things crashes into a crowd or freeway. It's real easy to lose radio control, especially in urban environments.
It's not that easy to lose radio control over a UAV, but when you do, there are fail-safes. Return to home, hover in place, waypoint return.
It will end up in the wrong hands or perverts will interpret everything wrong so they can feel the power. Training isn't always right and you can't go on looks, or even what people say. Seems like they could use it to find out who is bribing who in our government. That would be a good use.
I could see using it to track politicians. Make sure they aren't being coerced, bribed, threatened, etc.
and that they aren't out stealing resources for industry and such. minerals, water, organs, whatever...
Doesn't it seem odd that they could have the same senator for this many years?
is he a plant by the defense dept?
Fire, Aim, Ready leadership...and we are supposed to follow this?
Hey, what's going on here? Where are the republicans vs. liberals fights? They used to entertain me.
It's just too confusing to break it down into "my party vs. your party" on this issue. Obama supports military drone strikes – Republicans are trying to hold back an emerging industry. This issue makes American politics topsy-turvy. :-)
Here we go taking exception to development of technology ( drones vs surveillance satellites) the latter that were already capable of use.
Ever heard of Spy satellites that can hone in and read the number plates off cars or Google earth, where I can hone in on exactly where I live.... that was earth shattering to me. It means not just our lovely government but any terrorist or person with a grudge against me can see when I'm home or not = chose the right time for sniper surveillance with an illegal gun or place an IED he finds out how to make off the internet to blow me up, or even a pressure cooker bomb.
The total crassness of some media is awful. They sit there pontificating and saying transparency = they have to have the final say on the parameters of operation and what any specific government and its agencies determine shall be classified and secret. That's impractical.
WE have oversight of all parts of government including the FBI... now if it takes the FBI to tell congress about the use of drones and why and the oversight committee had not discovered that worrying about whose fault or why we didn't know is irrelevant .
The only issue is did drone use help save lives or solve a crime or even partly prevent a crime.... so congress do your job lay down the rules and stop making a major crisis out of things that could already be done irrespective of drones. Drones just make it easier and more effective results wise. Our president and government have duty to defend us against all enemies foreign and domestic.
As it happens, there really aren't a lot of regulations on drones, either privately- or publicly-owned. They can be used by anyone, from a police agency, to a private detective, to a stalker. It's an interesting new world.
some rug worshipping kids are selling them in the mall.
This is the downfall of the modern conservatard. They simply can't grasp that the government is simply keeping up the technology of modern criminals.
Evidently it concerns modern liberals also. Read the article again with comprehension. CNN spent a lot of print space on Grassley's concerns, typical of this particular new agency however they also mentioned Feinstein's concerns as well.
Stalkers can use them !?! Damn where can I pick one up ?
Right here, John: 3drobotics.com and diydrones.com – good sources of information for anyone concerned about drones as not all drones are alike.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the FBI is using multirotors like the one on the front page there. A multirotor has a range of about a mile or two, battery life of maybe 15 minutes, and a payload of 10 – 20 lbs., tops. They are better than manned helicopters because they can get in closer and maneuver through cover (fly through a window, etc), but a multirotor is only good for surveillance if you've already got the target's general location (up on that roof, beyond that fence, etc.) – useful for a dragnet but not the sole necessary tool. So this type of drone is used primarily in a hostage/stand-off situation to find and identify the suspect and any immediate hazards in the area so that SWAT teams can move in to engage.
All these stories about nothing and yet they make so many people upset.
I think it's likely that these people will always be upset and these types of issues are just triggers.
Thank you for your comment. You may now return to sticking your head back into the sand.
Drones done shot a dead man down
The first shlt I took was when I was on the ground
You end up like a dog that's been watched too much
Till you spend half your life just figuring what.. Drones in the U.S.A.
We got drones in the U.S.A.
We got drones in the U.S.A.
This is technology. Everybody loves technology, right? How about that smartphone that replaced your simple cell phone that replaced your cordless landline phone that replaced your dial phone? Who still owns a rotary dial phone? How is a drone different from say, the Goodyear blimp hovering over the football stadium equipped with video cameras shooting film of you in bleachers, or over your political rally or street protest, or those traffic cameras installed at intersections to see you running a redlight and getting your tag number? The time to protect privacy is to prevent the next step in technology from being manufactured and sold to somebody who will use it. But who wants to stifle technology development? Nobody. We want whatever the technicians invent next, don't we?
If it's going to create 1984, stiffle the technology. The technology is available to clone humans, but it was banned worldwide for the greater good. If you want your every move to be monitored by the government, visit North Korea, Iran, or China. Get a good look at those government's use of the technology you want to deify.
This whole thing seems to be way over the line. Every other headline is "admits" like someone broke down on the witness stand on a Perry Mason show. Is anyone surprised? Why shouldn't they use them? Grassley just needed to find a way to get in the spotlight, reading (and not very well) the questions that someone else had written for him, as if he had discovered some deep, dark secret. And Sen. Feinstein, if you really think that drones are the biggest threat to our privacy, you haven't been on line lately. The fact is time and science march on, new techniques are developed, and every one of them is scary, whether its gunpowder or balloons or planes or fingerprints or drones. And it is not going to stop whether we like it or not. I would feel a lot better if we had people in Congress who could and would act intelligently, pursue meaningful questions and investigations, and act in our best interests for a change.
Let's get all freaked out about the FBI trying to stop crime. Boy that's scary. It's horrible how they violated the privacy of Al Capone, and John Dillinger, as well as nailed a lot of traitor selling secrets to the Soviets during the cold ware. But I suppose those must be your heroes folks. They like the drones because they can get them in position in a timely manner instead of waiting to maneuver the Satellite while some hostages get it in the neck. Wake up you paranoid crybabies.
...says the good little sheep.
Says the paranoid doper
Your government thanks you for your blind support. Never, in history, has a government terrorized, killed or imprisoned their own citizens.
I kinda think you missed the chapter on Stalin.
McCarthy and his cohorts must be your heroes, among others.
I'm with you, Chuck. Good to know there's a level head out there somewhere.
yea the govt is just doing all this to protect us... hahahahaaha. Chuck believes it. Chuck believes in Obama too. Some people are just too relient and believe in govt too much. Chuck is one of them. Thinks the USA is invincible. Thats what Rome thought too. Sorry Chuck but the govt is obviously up to no good if you cant see it by now you are either completely retarded or you are in denial. It just takes some people longer to understand stuff. Chuck is one.
The best way to avoid a really big problem is by addressing it when it is still a small problem.
Listen, we Americans can't do anything about it anyways. Try to stop the government from doing something they are intent on doing and you will end up like MLK, President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael. I can see a civil war coming, because these corrupt government officials will stop at nothing, to make zombies out of all of us.
That is why every single american needs to arm up, and tell the government ebgough is enough. This is our country, they administer it, it is not theres to rule. PFC Manning is a hero, Snowden is a hero, Asange is a hero.
Really? ARM UP. Well that just proves the FBI needs this drone capability to keep track and pinpoint nuts like you.
Chuck Henry is a good little sheep. Bow down to your ma$ters, Chuck. Kiss the king's ring.
Hey Kenny, I can't wait to see you with all you big talk on the news soon taking on the FBI. I'm glad you were able to escape from the Branch Davidian compound back in the day, but it might be a little harder now. You are the sheep. It's people like you that gave Hitler his start. Fascist loser. Kenny – "If'in it twernt for the goverment and dem black folk, I'd be a millonare butz they are keepin me down"
And I hate to break this to you Rambo, but everything you need to know about the Kennedy assassination is in the Warren report. I just wanted to address that since that is probably where you were going next.
not surprised tell me whats the difference between a drone over your head or a satellite over your head, seeing the same thing. Havent you seen the movie yet.
People like Kenny gave Hitler a leg up? You're incorrect people like you put Hitler in power. The Warren Commission Report? What a joke. You bleat in your sleep.
I see you don't want to address your racism. Wow, fear of a black planet run wild.
"Fear of a black planet run wild?" I wrote nothing about blacks, or anything remotely related to race, ethnicity etc. Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired, no doubt you ditched school more often than attended.
I've had spy drones here from Libya. The couple worked at HUD with me & were known to Washington to be overseas in Libya. Since then I've seen them a few times & they've spoken. The first Libyan one had spoken & looked smug just as it had said. Bugs & birds.
I Politicians are mostly corrupt and corporations profit from that. Most politicians are CEOs, executives, major stock holders, and they have connections to the super wealthy and corporations. They are detached from the realities that the rest of us citizens face – they do not have our worries. Politicians should act in our interests – not make us targets for terrorists and outlaws. We are their employers.
The drone program started during President G.W. Bush's first installation by the Supreme Court.
WHo are the FBI agents using drones? I mean, what are their names? I would trust them a lot more if they had the guts to be identified and own up to what they are doing. The problem really arises when federal government employees caught abusing their authority (like the IRS guys) don't get exposed or punished. Anonymity is the key to corruption. It is the same weapon that protects a terrorist.
I am just your average American who cares little about politics, but Obama is really starting to scare me.
Lots o' white folks is scared of dem black folk.
These programs were started before Obama. The FBI, NSA, and CIA should deploy all necessary technology to keep us safe just as long as they don't unnecessarily violate our privacy. This is government of the people by the people and it is the legislators you voted in that authorized all these programs. Why are people not equally complaining about the commercial use of these same technologies.
While drones are pretty awesome for surveillance, No doubt the FBI will abuse this just like they misuse thier informant program and informant money. They wont be watching thier informant criminals, or potential terrorists – like the boston marathan bomber (who was probably an informant of the FBI). The FBI will be watching thier critics while trying to drum up new ways to create and scapegoat a negative public sentiment against thier critics.
Is it 1984 yet?
Long live the United Socialist States of America.
Now the NSA can here me order a large pepperoni with extra cheese, and the FBI can watch them deliver it!
Man, this is out of control. Everyday no matter what I eat. The US Government knows what it is and then run stupid ads from the place. This is beyond absurd. Stop claiming its terrorist your watching. I am a veteran and American. What the hell is wrong with these people? Why is nothing being done?
It just keeps getting worse. Boy is the federal government out of control. And after 5 years in office there is no one to blame but Obama. And yes, he is making war on his own people or at least setting the stage.
"When in the course of human events..."
The stage was set with the passing of the Patriot Act.
Various parts of the Patriot Act have been in effect for many years, the Act itself merely expanded and formalized the powers.
This is all deception. They just want to get people worked up about these drones while they develop the insect-sized ones that can enter your house through your soffits or ventilation system and watch your every move and listen in on every conversation. NSA has the algorithms to crunch all the data. Watch what you gripe about at dinner. Better not be your govt, which seeks only to protect you.
Obamma like dat !
Now that's a good comment and I totally concur. The people here are missing what's coming next, or maybe already in your house.
When they fly they drone the words "I don't Know"
Obama is 100x worse than bush.. Obama is starting a war with the American people
Like either party has provided us with a good or honest president in our lifetimes. But you people still keep voting for them – and then complain about the results.
My friend the drones are unarmed, and are mostly used on the borders of Mexico by homeland security and fed agents (ICE)......that is all....& the next Pres., dem or repub, will use them too.....
Well then, arm up, get your Klan hood on, and get a move on Cletus. Triumph of the Will and all that jazz. We ain't gwonna let some darky tell us what to do iz we?
Well folks like you are always crying about how screwed up the country is. So maybe the government is looking to thin the herd and help you out. But maybe they come for you instead, it's kind of a crap shoot.
Darnell: I bet your one of the 13% who think congress is doing a good job. You do realize it's congress' job to provide the over sight for these programs. Fillibustering every single piece of legislation is called obstructionism. Your pathetic GOP/T-Nuts are our county's #1 problem.
If you see one shoot it down.
I think there's a couple videos on youtube showing that.
Big deal. Why not whine about helicopters in this instance?
Umm... minimal? Anyone who lives or has a cottage along the St. Lawrence river sees or hears these on a frequent basis.
No. No more Drones and no more Data Mining until the proper checks and balances are put in place. I understand that these can be important tools for a whole host of situations, but until their use is completely in line with the Bill of Rights, and the power cannot be abused without clearly defined punishment. NO. I'm tired of secret programs and courts and whistleblowers being called traitors. If these programs are so good for the America, then their is no reason to keep them hidden.
So No. I don't trust my government with this power over me. I only trust my fellow American citizens when it comes to protecting my rights.
Hey, I'm going on vacation next week...who do I contact to see if they'll keep an eye on my place? Can they program those things to feed my dogs and let them out a couple times a day? It's my tax dollars, after all.... C'mon, time to serve and protect.
What a shocker...as if they would ever limit themselves. Once that Patriot Act was passed, the cat was out of the bag. It might be inconvenient, those drones watching you all the time, but at least you know you're safe...from everybody but the govt.
This is just the beginning. They won't go back willingly. Did we really beat the Russians? Or become them?
Very well put. This administration take big brother to scary extremes. This is what you get with an arrogant administration that thinks government knows better than the public.
I'm not convinced that its our government. could be, but could be private banking cartel (with many globalist banksters that don't give a rip about this country). we need to throw the Israel firsters and british out of our government. do like they did with tobacco and make it political suicide for any politician accepting money from them, or taking bribes from them. THAT I could see using surveillance on.
You know damn well it not the administration, it this do absolutely nothing congress. All these surveillance progranms have been in place spaning multiple presidencies. This obstructionist GOP is our problem. THEY and only they create the laws on which these organizations are supposed to follow. If the obstructionists in congress do nothing, no laws get enacted. OUT WITH THE GOP/T NUTS
You are thinking of the former Bush administration who tried to instill all Americans with terror, using words like "Patriot, and Homeland", (reminds one of the Nazis).
If we had become the Soviet Union, your anti-government stance would have you in a cell in Lubyanka right now having your eyeballs torn from the sockets while you screamed like a little girl and confessed. I like how you can compare a regime that killed 20 Milliion of it's own people to the US. Wow.
This is a flawed argument. I grew in east Germany, they did not arrest you for everything. They kept secret files on us and when you applied for certain jobs those files were used against you. If you went to far with your opinions then you disappeared, get your facts straight, the US is heading towards becoming the USSR.

While every item we select for our monthly WWW Hearts story is a sartorial find after our own heart, rest assured we're not only thinking of ourselves when picking them out, dear readers! Often, we find ourselves imagining whom we'd gift with these stylish pieces, and this month is no exception. After all, May brings us both Mother's Day (Mulberry's Del Rey bag would look lovely on her arm!) and a number of birthday celebrations (we can definitely think of a friend or two who'd appreciate Maje's cool-girl tee), affording us plenty of opportunity to lavish our loved ones with these must-have May favorites!
Clinique Limited Edition Long Last Lipstick ($15) in Runway Coral
Any woman who's gone in search of the perfect orange-red lipstick knows how difficult it is to find just the right tone. But when Clinique's Global Colour Artist, Jenna Menard, concocts a special color specifically for Karen Walker's S/S 12 runway show, you can expect ravishing results. Indeed, the revered makeup brand's long-wear lipstick now comes in an eye-catching, creamy coral shade ideal for spring and summer. As a bonus, its special formula grants you hours of a perfect coral-colored pucker!
Book Clutches
If you're a devoted WWW reader, you'd know our love of books is second only to our love of fashion. Imagine our delight, then, when we stumbled across a trend cleverly combining both passions--book clutches! We first spotted actress Michelle Williams clasping Olympia Le-Tan's Classic Clutch "The Misfits" ($1508) in White, a tribute to Arthur Miller's screenplay, at The Orange British Academy Film Awards in February. Her purse, a welcome deviation from the standard evening clutch, offered an elegant complement to her sophisticated gown. We admired the look so much that we tracked down a couple other options for self-proclaimed bookworms, like Kate Spade New York's I Married Adventure Book Clutch ($325) and The Importance Of Being Earnest Book Clutch ($325), as seen above. These chic purses have it all: they're convenient (thanks to details like interior credit card slots), they're amazing conversation starters, and better yet, they make you appear both book smart and sartorially smart!
Maje Brigitte Bardot T-Shirt ($165)
We're convinced that Maje has created the perfect graphic t-shirt, and if you're a Brigitte Bardot fan (as we clearly are!), you'd agree. The label's short-sleeve top features a black-and-white photo of the blonde bombshell who ruled French cinema in the '50s and '60s. The tee is part of a limited-edition collection of five shirts, so be sure to snap one up right away! We love the idea of pairing it with dark denim jeans, red heels, and a touch of red lipstick for a slightly sassy outfit that Bardot would certainly approve of.
Mulberry Del Rey Bag ($1250, available May 14) in Deer Brown
We've harbored a not-so-secret girl crush on Lana Del Rey for quite a while now, and unsurprisingly, so has Mulberry! The British brand was so inspired by the indie pop singer, in fact, that they named a bag in their F/W 12 collection after her (an honor previously bestowed upon fashion industry darling Alexa Chung). While we think this versatile rendition in a caramel-tinged brown hue will surely become spring's "it" accessory, the buttery soft satchel's classic silhouette makes it a year-round must-have too. Even if you don't have Del Rey's incredible voice, toting around her namesake bag is a fun consolation prize!
The Webster at Target
If you live in Miami or you're familiar with the city's lush sartorial scene, you're likely enamored with local high-fashion boutique The Webster. Thankfully for those of us who don't live anywhere near the South Beach hotspot, the store is part of Target's latest design collaboration. Owner Laure Heriard Dubreiul teamed up with Target to create a collection of apparel and accessories infused with a distinctive Miami vibe. One of our favorite picks? The colorful Cap-Toe Wedges ($30) in Melon/Gold! The heels feature several whimsical details, including a chic ankle-strap, quirky cap-toe, and cheerful striped lining, that make us want to slip them on right away. Don't forget to check out the collaboration, available May 6th!
Alex Prager Compulsion Exhibit
We've long revered the work of contemporary artist Alex Prager, who shoots for several major publications like W Magazine and Vanity Fair, so we were thrilled to learn about her new exhibition, Compulsion, simultaneously running at Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York, M+B Gallery in Los Angeles, and Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery in London through May 12th. The exhibition features a selection of color photographs, in addition to Prager's new short film, La Petite Mort, starring French actress Judith Godrèche. The artist's striking photos are often vibrant depictions of tragedies (or suggestive of them, like the photo of an abandoned car and boulder above), and comment on our society's response to real-life disasters shown in the media.--Tiffany Tse

The last batch of irrigation bucket kits from Chapin Living Waters Foundation was sent to Haiti.
The next batch may be sent to Kenya.
To reduce the cost of producing bucket kits that use irrigation methods invented in Watertown, the North Colorado Avenue foundation is searching for more volunteers.
Foundation President William A. Chapin said using volunteers means more bucket kits will be available for donation.
Before, it was done at the plant with paid labor, he said. It really increased the cost considerably. For the same dollars, we can distribute more and help more people.
Volunteer Douglas L. Carlson said there is a list of 50 volunteers at the moment, but he hopes to double that number.
We can always use more volunteers or organizations that would be interested in helping, he said. We want to have a pretty good-sized pool of people that we can draw from.
The drip irrigation system was invented by Mr. Chapins father, Richard D. Chapin. Chapin Watermatics Inc. was founded in 1960.
He was in the business of growing flowers, and he developed the irrigation system, Mr. Chapin said. Dads always been interested in helping people use irrigation.
Chapin Watermatics Inc. was bought by Jain Irrigation in 2006. That has not slowed the Chapin Living Waters Foundation, however.
Today, the foundation has partnerships with organizations in 100 countries to help people in the Third World become self-sufficient.
When I was in Malawi, they had villages with 10 or 12 families who had eight or 12 kits they would put in as a group, Mr. Carlson said.
He said the families split up tasks to take care of the seedlings, weed the garden and harvest the crops.
When they harvested the crops, they would share the crops, he said. The extras they would sell at the markets.
The money they received at the market went toward buying more seedlings, clothing, school tuition and supplies.
M. Gail Goings, Watertown, and her husband, David E. Goings, volunteered to help build the kits during the last session several weeks ago.
Rather than giving money to people, it helps them grow their own produce and feed their families, she said. Its a good cause.
The sessions involve measuring, cutting and rolling the plastic tubing as well as stuffing all of the parts into an envelope.
Mr. Chapin said he hopes to have a stock of 300 to 500 kits that can be sent as soon as they are requested.
The next session will be held at an undetermined date in the next few weeks, Mr. Carlson said. Anyone 10 or older can help.
For more information, call Mr. Carlson at 405-4516.

Quick Hits: What Do the Franchise Tags Mean (If Anything) to the Jets?
Here's some thoughts about the Jets free agency now that all the franchise tags are settled. In total, 21 team used the tag this season and here's some quick hits about what I think some of the moves mean to the league, and even possibly the Jets.
In the East — The only other player franchised in the AFCE was Welker, which seemed like an obvious choice. Welker has been the lifeblood of the Patriots offense and while the team might look to try and sign Welker to a longer-term deal, I don't expect Welker would do anything like Matt Light did back in 2010 when the Tackle held out for much of the season due to a long and ugly contract dispute. Welker seems like too much of a gamer to miss out on time on the field.
Receiver Set — Other than Welker, there were two other receivers franchised: Dwayne Bowe of the Chiefs and DeSean Jackson of the Eagles. Neither were considered options for the Jets, but look to see where some of the other receivers move to this offseason. As of now, they have a hole at the WR2 spot, assuming that they don't bring Plaxico back.
Marques Colston,Vincent Jackson, Brandon Lloyd, Mario Manningham, Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon will all be looking for paydays and some of them might find homes in the AFC East. Most notably, there's now rumors that the Bills might make a serious run at Vincent Jackson. Colston might be someone the Jets consider, but the Jets ought to consider how effective he can be outside of Sean Payton's system … and without Brees throwing to him. Due to his age and under-utilization Mario Manningham seems like the player most likely to break out in 2012 of that group.
Cool Brees — Allowing Drew Brees to hit open free agency would have been madness by the Saints, so to see them tag their star QB was no surprise. What it of course means is that players like Marques Colston and Carl Nicks will get to walk free to free agency in just over a week. Of the two, I'd only expect the Jets to have eyes for Colston since the Jets issues aren't on the interior of their line, but their Tackle spot … in other words, Nicks wouldn't solve any problems.
Safety Dance — With Dashon Goldson, Tyvon Branch and Michael Griffin all getting tagged, it pretty much ensures that the free agent safety class is going to be sparse at best. This of course might drive the Jets to re-sign players like Jim Leonhard and/or Brodney Pool and also might drive up the demand for a player like Mark Barron during the draft process.
Can't Keep Running Away — Ray Rice and Matt Forte were both tagged, while Peyton Hillis was not. The Browns tagged K Phil Dawson instead, meaning that Hillis will get a chance to see what his value on the open market might be.
In Like Flynn — Matt Flynn was not tagged by the Packers, which means that he will be able to walk free. Does this make it more likely that he will end up in Miami and playing the Jets twice a year? Better Matt Flynn than Peyton Manning? Yeah, I thought so too. Flynn will be looking for a starting job, but what if he can't find one? Would he consider a backup job on a team where support seems to be in question for the starter … like say … New York?
The Specialists — This year saw a raft of special teamers getting franchised, ironically two of which were former Jets. Punter Steve Weatherford (NYG) and Kicker Mike Nugent (CIN) both were tagged on their teams, in addition to Phil Dawson (CLE), Connor Barth (TB), Josh Scobee (JAC) and Matt Prater (DEN) all got tagged, which is more about keeping special teams consistent since the money is so low. It's interesting since Mike Westhoff said he thinks that this might be the best specialist class he's seen in years … expect the Jets to find a punter or kicker in the draft this year.
