Indians busy
this week
There is no reason to believe that the Colville High boy's and girl's track teams won't score their share of points again this spring around the Northeast A League.
The Colville girls, who won the NEA dual meet championship, finished a close second at the regional to Chelan and finished 10th at the State 1A meet at Eastern Washington University, certainly have enough firepower back to replicate last spring's successes. Ditto for the boys, who finished 15th at State.
The Indians shook off the rust and the dust (mud?) last Saturday during a first-ever jamboree with Kettle Falls High. The Indians split their squad and ran their usual Black & Red inter-squad, along with an informal dual with the Bulldogs.
New event
"The jamboree was a new event that we incorporated this season to get more bodies to run across the line to get our new timing system tested," CHS head coach Ty Brown said.
The Indians also got a chance to run on their new track surface that was redone late last summer.
The reviews were positive.
"We are excited to be able to run on our new surface this spring," Brown said. "We think that it will help with shin splints and other issues that cropped up with the old surface.
"And the new timing system (donated by the Colville Benchwarmers) will allow us to record fully automatic times (FAT) for the athletes…it should speed up the meets and reduce the number of timers we need.
"It was good to get some of the problems with the new timing system ironed out before we use it in a real competition with more people. With the help of Steven Milatz and Jerry Greenman and our coaching staff, we are getting a good handle on the system."
The CHS athletes also got an opportunity to take part in Team Night activities where team members got a chance to kick band and do a little bonding—eat, play some games and silk screen shirts in the color of their team.
"Tracy Deleya (high school art teacher) and her art students design a logo and the track athletes silkscreen the logo on a shirt that they wear during the meet," Brown explained. "It's a fun idea to build teamwork and competition…it incorporates other departments of the school too."
The Indians return as much talent as anyone in the league this spring.
Notable returners are seniors Tasha Luu, Ethan Cabbage, Logan Carpenter, Alex Pond, Lexi Lehman, Amber Powell, Kevin Edler, Ashley Knight and Garth Vaagen.
"We also have a number of underclassmen that are back and a few new athletes that will fill in the gaps that we had last year," Brown said.
CHS relay teams should be strong again
The Indians will be particularly strong—again—in the relays. Colville returns most of a 4x100 relay team that placed second at State last spring (Tasha and Malia Luu and Chelsea Phillips return). Brown and his staff will have to find a replacement for graduated Jenny Andres there.
For the boys, Pond, Carpenter and Vaagen return in the boy's 4x100. Cabbage is the top returning league triple jumper. He finished second at State last season and is one of the league's top all-around talents.
The Indians should also have a strong stable of throwers with Pond, Jacy Vining and Knight (javelin).
In the distances, Kevin Carpenter and Roman Korovnik will lead a strong group that helped the CHS cross country team finish second at State last fall.
The Indians are a little light on numbers in girl's distances. Jill Fenno leads that group.
Edler will lead CHS hurdlers.
All the CHS coaches return.
"We have a fantastic staff that works to get the best out of the kids," Brown said.
Randy Stebbins returns in the distances and Bob Gumm is back in the throws. Daniel Goble will head up the sprint coaching and CHS cross country coach Dean Fischer will work with the longer sprints and the 4x400.
Colville's list of volunteer coaches includes Sandy Moore (jumps), Jodi Lehman (jumps), Chris Loggers (hurdles) and Rob Shaw (throws).
"We couldn't do this without our dedicated coaches and volunteers," Brown said. "This does not even mention the people behind the scenes that help with the meets and (athletic director) Kelly Carr's support."
The Indians have a solid home schedule this spring. CHS will host the Ezra Gordon Colville Invitational with 15 teams on March 22. There are NEA meets at the resurfaced CHS track with Chewelah on March 28 and with Freeman on April 18. Class 1A power Newport will be in town on May 2 for a league meet.
Invitationals include West Valley (March 17), Deer Park (March 24), the Interstate at Freeman's new facility (April 14), Riverside Invite (April 28) and the prestigious Pasco Invitational (April 14) for those athletes who make the minimum qualifying standard in their respective events.
The Indians usually take 10 to 12 athletes to Pasco, which is billed as the largest high school meet in the nation. Teams from around the Northwest descent on Pasco that weekend.
The District 7 1A meet will be held at Riverside on May 12. Cashmere High will host the District 6-7 regional meet on May 19.
This year, the region will get three athletes per event to State at EWU May 25-26.
"Overall, we are very excited about the season," Brown said. "We have fewer kids out this year, but the talent level is the highest we have had since I have been around. We expect great things from these student-athletes. They are excited to put their skills to the test."

At the Pure Mobile blog, we're pretty fond of carrying cases and skins. Let's face it, they're something we use day in and day out. But today's Mobile accessory of the week is one of the unsung heroes of the cell phone accessory world. Yes, we're talking about chargers, and about PureGear's latest iPhone 5 Car Charger.
High tech cases are great and all. But if you've ever run out of battery on your iPhone, you'll know why chargers really hold the power in the grand scheme of things. Not much you can do witha dead phone huh?
But that's something you won't have to worry about too often with this new iPhone 5 charger. Since it's a car charger, you can power up while you're on the go. Just sit back, hook up your device, turn on the radio, and go. You'll be set when you reach your destination.
That alone isn't enough to make this charger our Accessory of the Week. But did we mention that PureGear's also built this charger kit with an extra USB port?
Yep, it's a simple addition to a pretty standard product, but it makes all the difference, since you'll be able to power up your iPhone as well as your iPad, iPod – or any other device that charges via USB connection – simultaneously.
Oh, and PureGear's patented circuit board is especially designed to protect your gadgets from short circuits.
Your iPhone, iPad and iPod aren't much more than lumps of plastic, glass and metal if they're not charged. And this iPhone 5 car charger with extra USB from PureGear will help you make sure it never comes to that. May not sound as exciting as a new camera lens for your iPhone or a sexy new carrying case, but every bit as important, if not way more so.

MASSENA The Massena-Cornwall International Bridge was closed to traffic for nearly five hours Saturday as hundreds of Mohawk Indians marched to Cornwall, Ontario, and back to protest a Canadian bill they say violates their sovereignty.
Many carried protest signs or tribal flags. Some dressed in ceremonial attire, and those near the front of the crowd sang traditional songs and played drums to accompany the march, which began at about 10:30 a.m.
Were bringing awareness to people, so that everyone knows what is going on, said St. Regis Mohawk tribe member Shaylin L. Jacco.
When they reached Cornwall, the protesters joined hands in a large circle to perform a tribal dance before returning to the American side without incident. The bridge reopened at about 3 p.m.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp. closed the bridge to traffic to allow the planned march to proceed safely.
The demonstration was part of the Idle No More movement, which was organized in response to Bill C-45, a Canadian federal budget bill that reduces some environmental protections and would allow private developers to buy tribal land. Many tribal leaders say the bill violates their treaty rights.
According to tribe member Curtis H. White, the bill is just the latest in a long-running history of legislation meant to reduce the rights of Indian tribes, both in Canada and in the United States. The Idle No More protests are a way of speaking out against these decisions.
We get frustrated. We wish there would be immediate change, but its ongoing. We need to keep reminding them, Mr. White said.
The bill prompted the creation of Idle no More in October. The movement has been increasingly gaining the support of Indian nations ever since, in both Canada and the United States. The goals of the movement stretch far beyond the scope of Bill C-45. It calls for complete sovereignty of Indian nations, in both theory and practice.
Were not going to be idle, ever. Not no more, protester Roger Lazore said.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen J. Harper has agreed to hold a meeting with the leaders of Indian tribes to address their concerns Friday.
Saturday was the first time the Massena-Cornwall International Bridge has been closed since May 2009, when the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe shut down the bridge for six weeks in protest of a resolution allowing Canadian customs officers on Cornwall Island to carry guns. Cornwall Island is part of the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
Unlike the 2009 event, Saturdays protest was planned, and ended on schedule after only a few hours. But some Mohawks say that even this short display is enough to show they will not be silent on issues that affect native tribes.
Aroniateni, a Mohawk tribe member who joined the march in support of the Idle No More movement, said the protest sent the message that the tribes will not be ignored.
We still exist, and we still have power, he said.

Hurricane Sandy NASA video: International Space Station captures stunning video of Sandy from space
NASA released stunning video Thursday of Hurricane Sandy captured from the International Space Station.
The video shows Sandy as it approaches the United States.
As of Friday morning, Sandy was still a Category 1 hurricane and was passing near Great Abaco Island.
NASA officials said the International Space Station took this photo when "The storm was located about 85 miles south-southeast of Great Exuma Island."
Hurricane Sandy is a wolf in sheep's skin poised to assail New England at the beginning of next week, with the potential to cause widespread damage in the highly populated area.
It is losing wind speed but is huge and likely to merge with a winter storm front and turn into a "Frankenstorm" over the northeastern United States just before Halloween, according to the National Weather Service.
Sandy has left at least 21 dead, as it ground over Haiti, Jamaica and Cuba.

I have become more and more depressed the longer the lockout going on. I need something that drives me.
Lundqvist said that it would be important for the NHL to get back soon "It is extremely important that we play this season, no doubt about it. And the most important part is from Christmas onwards. football ends, baseball is over, so we get the more space in the media. That's when the owners earn the most money and it generated the most interest. But then, it remains to see how hard the hit is when it comes to audience and sponsors. "

MASSENA - A Massena couple charged with beating and apparently attempting to force a teenage female into their vehicle on Feb. 16 posted bail and were released after being charged with felony counts of unlawful imprisonment Tuesday afternoon.
Village police charged Patrick R. Lloyd, 25, of New York City, reportedly staying at a residence on Haskell Street, Massena, and Miranda M. Green, 18, of 37 Howard St., Massena, with felony counts of first-degree unlawful imprisonment and a misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault.
They reportedly shoved Catherine A. Berry, 17, of Massena to the ground before punching her in the face several times and kicking her in the face. They then reportedly restrained Berrys hands and tried to throw her into their vehicle before their actions drew the attention of neighbors in the Sycamore Street area where the incident took place. Ms. Berry reportedly suffered bruises and facial swelling as a result of the attack.
Lloyd appeared at the village police station with his attorney, Edward Narrow of Syracuse, and turned himself in on an arrest warrant. Green was taken into custody when she greeted Lloyd as he was leaving the courtroom after his arraignment on the unlawful imprisonment charge.
Lloyd was arraigned by Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and released after posting $5,000 cash bail. Green, who told the judge she was a senior at Massena Central High School, was also arraigned by Mr. Gustafson and released after posting $1,500 cash bail.
Mr. Narrow had asked the court to set bail at $2,500 cash. He pointed out his client was released on his own recognizance on charges pending in Franklin County.
Police and federal agents had charged Lloyd and two other New York City residents with multiple drug and gun felonies following a December traffic stop on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
Lloyd, of Manhattan; Jevar Sturridge, 19, of Queens; and Travis Moore, 23, of Manhattan are all charged with one count each of second- and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
Lloyd also was at the Massena residence in October, where one man was shot, another man stabbed and a third man beaten. Police later charged a couple that were living at the apartment with possession of over 1,600 bundles of heroin.
A news release from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe said Lloyd, Sturridge and Moore allegedly were in possession of six ounces of heroin, six ounces of cocaine, two loaded handguns, and about a pound of marijuana. Officials said none of the three had proper licensing to possess the seized guns, which had defaced serial numbers.
The arrests were made by St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police, New York State Police and U.S. Border Patrol.
The latest charge alleges Ms. Berry was walking on Woodlawn Avenue between Sycamore and Cedar streets at approximately Feb. 16 when she encountered Lloyd, known by his street name of Problem, and Green. She said Lloyds vehicle drove past her as she walking across the baseball field, then backed up, pulled in front of her and blocked her path.
Green reportedly got out of the vehicle, exchanged pleasantries with Ms. Berry and then punched her in the right eye. Lloyd then reportedly exited the vehicle, approached the teenager and pushed Ms. Berry, knocking her backwards into a snowbank. He then allegedly booted her in the face with the bottom of his foot.
He then reportedly punched Ms. Berry in the face several times, with Green throwing haymakers at the 17 year old at the same time.
I was laying in the snow and Miranda said, Put her in the car. When I saw the door open to the car, I thought they were going to kill me. I was scared for my life. Problem grabbed my hands, and Miranda grabbed my feet, and they picked me up and tried to put me in the car, Ms. Berry said.
She was reportedly able to escape when she kicked Green, who dropped her feet. A neighborhood resident then reportedly intervened, and Lloyd and Green allegedly got back into their vehicle and left the scene.
During his arraignment, Mr. Narrow said Lloyd had lived in Massena for the past two years and suggested he was not a flight risk. I know he will appear in court when required, he said.
Mr. Gustafson said a review of Lloyds criminal history raised questions, noting there were several cases where warrants had been issued after the Manhattan failed to appear in court as directed. Pretty much every time there has been an arrest there has been a warrant. I look at his criminal history over the past year, and there are matters pending in New York County, Clinton County and Franklin County, the village justice said before setting bail at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.
St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Viacheslav Mareyev had recommended bail of $2,500 cash. He noted Lloyd had an address history in Manhattan and suggested he was a substantial flight risk.
Later Tuesday afternoon, village police charged Lloyd with a felony count of third-degree criminal mischief. He allegedly slashed the front and back passenger side tires on a 2003 Oldsmobile being operated by Michelle Dougherty on Feb. 24. She had reportedly parked her vehicle at 152 North Main St. and was picking up Girl Scout cookies.
He was arraigned on the criminal mischief count and was released after posting $1,500 cash bail.
Green had also had contact with the village police at 1 a.m. Tuesday when she and Ginelle M. Gardner, 17, also of 37 Howard St., Massena, were charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana following a traffic stop at 1 a.m. Tuesday on Alvern Avenue at Howard Street. Gardner was additionally ticketed for operation of a vehicle with inadequate plate lamps.
A canine unit reportedly alerted on the vehicle during the traffic stop, and police located a baggie of marijuana, a set of scales that allegedly contained marijuana residue, a larger set of scales, a black plate, a silver utility knife and a package of 50 utility blades wrapped inside a blanket in the vehicles trunk.

text: A combined team of clinicians and support staff work together to perform surgery to correct an 11-year-old boy's congenital heart defect. The surgery, among others, is the result of a partnership between PIH, sister organization Zanmi Lasante, and The International Children's Heart Foundation to pe {lanPhoto by Rebecca E. Rollins / Partners In Healthv> Surgical care plays an essential role in strengthening health systems in resource-poor settings around the world. Diseases that are treatable through surgery—such as cancer, trauma, infections, congenital anomalies, and complications from childbirth—account for 11 to 25 percent of the global burden of disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, 2 billion people around the world have no access to emergency or surgical care. The poorest third of the world receives less than 4 percent of the world's available surgical services, while the richest third receives nearly 75 percent, reports the WHO. In Haiti's Central Plateau, for example, there are only two orthopedic surgeons in an area that is home to more than 500,000 people and where a large proportion of emergency room visits are due to acute work-related injuries or trauma from traffic accidents or other sources. Untreated surgical disease has an immense human, societal, and economic impact. For example, a disabled parent who doesn't have access to safe surgical care may not be able to care for his or her family—a tragedy for the parent, the family, and society. As a result, the true economic impact of surgical disease that goes untreated can profoundly affect a country. In poor countries, surgical care remains limited despite its cost-effectiveness. With growing evidence of the need for safe surgical care and its positive economic benefits to a society, surgery can no longer be considered a privilege for the few. Improving care delivery, education, training, and research within global surgery and anesthesia must be a key priority in global health. PIH's response To that end, PIH is involved in the launch of The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, a new initiative that aims to ensure all people have access to safe, high-quality, affordable surgical and anesthesia care. Officially launched in December 2013 with an introductory comment in The Lancet, implementers of surgical services and health and policy experts will team up to find the best strategies for providing surgical care with a focus on low- and middle-income health systems. Surgical interventions in PIH's sites include orthopedics, otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), plastics, pediatrics, urology, OB-GYN, and general surgery. In Haiti, for example, Partners In Health helped provide 2,700 surgical operations across six facilities during the first half of 2012. To continue to improve care and expand the ability to respond to surgical disease, PIH offers surgical training programs including expert mentorship in and outside operating rooms in PIH sites, and trainings for local surgeons in top U.S. medical institutions. The collaboration between our local surgical teams and international researchers—through the Paul Farmer Global Surgery Fellowship and the Global Health Equity Residency in General Surgery—help us mutually examine the surgical system in our sites. Building the skills of our local surgeons and research on how to improve surgery in resource-limited settings strengthens advocacy efforts for equity in surgical services. Advancing surgical services strengthens the entire team of nurses, anesthetists, surgical and sterilization technicians, and logisticians across the health system and leads to high-quality, equitable care.

The long awaited Apple iOS 4.2.1 update is now available for download on all compatible devices. The company announced this morning that the update would be going live today after weeks of speculation about when the update would be made available through iTunes. There really is no reason not to upgrade, as this update will fix a number of features that experienced problems with the iOS 4.2 update on some devices. A number of changes were made with the new update, including a tweak to the Facetime voice control, among others.
The video calling technology will also now support a number of different Bluetooth accessories which will make video conferencing on the unlocked iPhone 4 much easier in the future.
The iPod Touch (fourth generation) also received a number of bug fixes in the new updates, including bugs that dealt with the stereo playback through a car when the phone was connected through a USB port.
You might want to wait a few hours to download the update as the servers seem to be a little bit bogged down at the moment with everyone rushing to install the update. If you wait until you go to sleep, and let the update happen overnight, you should wake up with a freshly updated mobile device in the morning. Keep in mind, you will have to go through a number of confirmation screens after the update has been downloaded so set your alarm a little bit early to make up for it.
The iOS 4.2.1 update will not add any high profile new features to devices and instead will mostly fix bugs and update the features that have been present in the previous versions of the devices. There is no rush to update as no security bugs have been associated with the previous version, but it is a good idea to update as soon as possible.
PureMobile carries a wide range of unlocked cell phones such as Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Unlocked, Blackberry Curve 9300, HTC Desire etc…

Support honest elections
I am concerned that the secretary of state be committed to honest elections. That is why I am supporting Bill Johnson. I know Bill will not allow leftwing groups such as ACORN to corrupt elections with forged voter registration cards or by bringing felons, illegal immigrants or the dead to the polls.

Many people think that voting in a presidential primary really doesn't make a difference... or does it? But before you make a decision you ought to read on.
If you asked 92 percent of the registered voters in Carbon County they would tell you it didn't. Why? They left their vote at home during the 2000 primaries.
But, if you talk to the 7.29 percent of registered voters who did vote (804 of them) they'd tell you their vote did made a difference. They'd tell you that they wielded strong power with their X. That small percentage made the decision for all the rest of us. Talk about power!
That's especially true when you realize that those 804 ballots were divided between the Democrat, Republican and Independent primaries. Bush was running against Forbes and Bower on the Republican ticket. Gore and Bradley were sparring for the Democratic nomination and there were even some Independents, (Dodge and Phillips). With all of that political action on in the press, only seven percent of us cast our opinion in ink.
I don't really know why so few voted. We're all busy, disgruntled, tired or otherwise occupied. Perhaps the question of why we didn't turn out should be left up to political science professors.
I was raised with great pride in our Carbon County heritage. We are made of real stock here. Everyone I know is a descendent of immigrants who came from a foreign country to find a new life, financial or political freedom, and, of course, coal.
It seems like the television pundits are wielding more power these days. They predict how we will vote before we go to the polls and then they announce the results before the election is even over. Fewer people are calling the shots and that isn't right.
We can vote this Tuesday in the presidential primaries. Any registered voter can cast a ballot. Only the Democrats have candidates this time around. But this is an open primary, so all you have to do is ask for a Democratic ballot.
You can vote at any open polling place in the county. Locations are the Helper City Library, Price City Library, the East Carbon Senior Citizen's Center, the Wellington City Hall and the CEU Student Center. The polls will be open from noon until 8 pm. I hope that I have to wait in a long line to cast my ballot this year.

The Orioles still believe that Kim, who was initially signed to a reported $550,000 signing bonus, is a rare talent that could be in the major leagues by the time he turns 22. He turns 18 next month.

CSPitt17130 wrote:Law reported what he saw or heard from other scouts. That was low 80s and unimpressive secondary stuff. The Orioles reported seeing him at around 90 with a good breaking ball. Kim probably looked very different when these two sets of scouts saw him. Law didn't make up a scouting report or lie about anything.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
When Democrat Franklin Roosevelt ran for President in 1932 against incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover, the economy had gone from one of flourishing to the depths of the worst economic times the country had ever seen.
During the first three years after the 1929 stock market crash, 5,000 banks failed. There was no government insurance on savings and nine million bank accounts just vaporized. During that same time 100,000 workers were laid off every week. In evidence of the difference in prosperity of 1929 and the Depression of 1932, two million Americans were unemployed in 1929. In 1930 the number hit four million, and in 1931 it rose to eight million. At the time of the election 13 million people were out of a job, which was almost a quarter of the workforce. Many others were on reduced work hours or working part time jobs. Hoover had done some to curtail the downturn but in many people's eyes they thought he had not tried at all. In general his was the philosophy of laissez faire, with a little protectionism thrown in.
Roosevelt took over the Presidency with a large majority of the popular and electoral votes. He almost immediately launched into a program called "The New Deal." This included government work projects, the establishment of Social Security and unemployment benefits, things the country had never, ever seen on such a scale. These programs were decried by many conservatives as "socialism" and the struggle to wrest control back into the Republican party began almost immediately.
However, even with these programs the nation was still in a deep depression when the next election in 1936 came around. Roosevelt's programs had proved popular among the masses, but many in the business world saw them as detrimental to business and to the country's social structure. The Works Project Administration (WPA) had made the federal government the largest employer in the nation, a notion that ran against the idea of many who believed in capitalism and small government.
Locally, Carbon County was affected a great deal by the depression. While many coal mines, the largest industry in the county, had remained open, many others had closed. And of those remaining open often miners only worked a few days a week. The use of coal for domestic as well as industrial use had kept some of the money flowing into the county, but the downturn had hurt. The lapse of good times had also ended an important rivalry that had grown in the county since 1907. The two papers that had existed (The News-Advocate (before 1915 known as the Carbon County News) and The Sun (Formally known before 1915 as the Eastern Utah Advocate) were basically in bankruptcy by the time Roosevelt was elected. Just before the end of 1932 Joseph Ashbury, the owner of the Richfield Reaper, bought the two papers and merged them in early 1933. This was the birth of the present day Sun Advocate.
By 1936 the Price paper and the Helper Journal, another independent newspaper in the county, were still struggling with the bottom line. But each year the Sun Advocate's bottom line was getting a little stronger. And it was stronger in the way of reporting too. On its masthead it proclaimed itself to be "An independent newspaper" and no longer obviously swung to one side of the political spectrum or the other.
\ The Sun had been primarily a Republican paper, while the News-Advocate had been more in the middle and sometimes even a little left of center. The reporting of the 1936 election in the Sun Advocate, therefore, became much more neutral.
Roosevelt faced Alf Landon, the Republican Governor of Kansas in that election. Landon had some opposition in the primaries, but in the end Landon totally dominated the voting at the Republican convention with 984 votes to 19 in the final ballot. The 19 went to Senator William Borah of Idaho.
The Democrats made hay in the general election. Until the election of 1984 (Reagan vs. Mondale) no standing president had ever won by so many popular and electoral votes. Landon also got the fewest electoral votes ever for a challenging presidential candidate with five from Maine and three from Vermont. He didn't even win his home state.
The trickle down effect for the Democrats was immense. The Sun Advocate's headline read on Nov. 5, 1936, "Democratic Landslide Sweeps the Nation." The story spelled out how the election had brought in Democratic candidates everywhere. And for the first time, a Carbon County man was a part of the elected administration of the state of Utah too.
"Joining the national political procession in registering a tremendous majority for President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Carbon County, nevertheless, reserved the honor for the rating of high vote receiver in the Tuesday election for one of its own sons, Reese M. Reese, county treasurer, who was elevated to the state treasurership by the Utah electorate," boasted the story.
Different from the past, the actual story in the paper indicated a neutrality unforeseen in papers in the area before. It reported the various races and who won them without a lot of hyperbole one way or the other. In the past, one-sided reporting had actually obscured the actual outcomes and votes cast for the candidates. This time the facts in the paper were straight out, without having to rely on going to a table inside the paper to see that actual tallies.
However, there was commentary in other parts of the paper concerning the election.
"County contests, especially for the four-year commissioner seat(which was won by incumbent C.R. Fahring over Helper resident Dean Tilton) and the county attorney post (Henry Ruggeri, who lost to Mari Gibson) attracted almost as much interest as the presidential battle," stated the paper in a section called Sidelights. "In fact, when the outcome of the national contest had become evident early, the election return fans turned their attention to the voting warfare involving those two offices."
The election of 1936 was also the first election in which a local radio station existed and could pass on results immediately. KEUB (the forerunner of KOAL) had come into existence only the year before and the paper noted their impact on information to the residents.
"Hundreds of telephone calls from throughout he county (to the newspaper offices) were answered and the service was extended additionally by the local radio station KEUB, by announcement of returns as they were made available," stated the paper.
It was a changing media situation. Before this election people had often swamped the newspaper office on election eve and the next morning for information. Now with radio in the area, that began to change and diminished continually over the years.
The paper also commented on the re-election of the congressman representing Carbon County.
"Congressman Abe Murdock's majority of 3,905 in Carbon indicated the confidence voters of this section have in the national legislator," stated the paper. "It was a splendid vote of endorsement for his progressive record."
Murdock had defeated Republican challenger Charles W. Dunn for the seat.
It was a landslide election and no one could know that the re-elected President would then go onto a third and then a fourth term election victory in 1944.

As the presidential election nears, who can you really trust? According to Politifact, both President Obama and Governor Romney have been caught in plenty of lies. So it makes you wonder, will it really make a difference who you vote for? What happens if the reason you vote for one of them doesn't get fulfilled? According to Politifact, Obama broke over 80 promises from the campaign trail in 2008. In case you didn't know, there are many other candidates running for president this year. You can see a list of all candidate running for president here even though mainstream media doesn't talk about them.
2. "Redistribution" has "never been a characteristic of America."
3. "Under Obama's plan (for welfare), you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check."
4. President Barack Obama is "ending Medicare as we know it."
5. Ronald Reagan's philosophy of "peace through strength" is why "the Iranians released the hostages on the same day and at the same hour that Reagan was sworn in."
6. Says in the 2012 State of the Union address, President Obama "didn't even mention the deficit or debt."
7. The U.S. military is at risk of losing its "military superiority" because "our Navy is smaller than it's been since 1917. Our Air Force is smaller and older than any time since 1947."
8. "We're only inches away from no longer being a free economy."
9. President Obama "went around the world and apologized for America."
10. "We're inches away from no longer having a free economy."
11. "A few months into office, (President Barack Obama) traveled around the globe to apologize for America."
12. "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy."
13. "I don't describe your plan as amnesty in my ad. I don't call it amnesty."
14. "In one year, (President Obama) provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world … into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1."
15. Says President Obama has "doubled" the deficit.
16. "Right now, the (Congressional Budget Office) says up to 20 million people will lose their insurance as Obamacare goes into effect next year."
17. When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, "we didn't just slow the rate of growth of our government, we actually cut it."
18. "Only one president has ever cut Medicare for seniors in this country . . . Barack Obama."
19. Says Barack Obama "never worked in the private sector" before he was elected president.
20. "I don't have lobbyists running my campaign."
2. "Under Gov. Romney's definition … Donald Trump is a small business."
3. "Over the last four years, the deficit has gone up, but 90 percent of that is as a consequence of" President George W. Bush's policies and the recession.
4. "Fast and Furious" began under the Bush administration.
5. Mitt Romney "says the Arizona immigration law should be a model for the nation."
6. Says Mitt Romney would deny gay people the right to adopt children.
7. "The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me."
8. "Under the Romney/Ryan budget, interest rates on federal student loans would be allowed to double."
9. If the Supreme Court throws out the federal health care law, it "would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."
10. "For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs."
11. "Preventive care … saves money, for families, for businesses, for government, for everybody."
12. "Thirty million Americans, including a lot of people in Florida, are going to be able to get healthcare next year because of that law."
13. "I made a bunch of these promises during the campaign. … We've got about 60 percent done in three years."
14. Under President Barack Obama, the United States has "doubled our exports."
15. Says stories about his birth certificate drowned out media coverage of the Republican and White House budget plans the week of April 11.
16. The president's proposed budget "will help reduce the deficit by $400 billion over the next decade to the lowest level since Dwight Eisenhower was president."
17. Under the White House's budget proposal, "we will not be adding more to the national debt" by the middle of the decade.
18. Twelve judges have thrown out legal challenges to the health care law because they rejected "the notion that the health care law was unconstitutional."
19. "I didn't raise taxes once."
20. "No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration."
Ben Swann from Fox's Reality Check explains why there is only 2 candidates in the mainstream debates.FOX19.com-Cincinnati News, Weather
There will be a final debate on November 5 at 9pm EST and you can watch it here
I personally can't trust either one of them. In my opinion I think the pressure will be too difficult on both of them and they will have to give back favors to their top campaign contributors. When this kind of money is involved, there is no way you can be honest all the time

OGDENSBURG The citys dwindling salt and sand reserves survived the latest snow storms, and barring a pre-New Year surprise, should last through the end of 2012.
After a fierce storm blanketed the north country this week, Department of Public Works Director Kit W. Smith said that might be due to luck more than anything else.
We dont use a lot of salt in this type of event because we tend to just grease things up and cause traction issues, he said. We use our melting accelerants after the storm. Were just trying to get through this year. Once we get to our new budget we should be able to replenish our material.
Blessed in recent years by milder winters with low snowfall totals, the Department of Public Works has used reserve funds to repair and maintain an aging fleet of city vehicles in lieu of replenishing salt and sand piles.
Those reserves have been drawn down to the point where were going to have to replenish them, Mr. Smith said. Obviously, our equipment, the majority of it is very old and it takes a lot of money to keep it going.
City Manager John M. Pinkerton said the city must use its fund for snow removal materials next year.
We didnt fill up the barn this year, Mr. Pinkerton said. In a few days, we get into the next budget and well have to go ahead and fill it up.
Each year, DPW budgets for 2,000 tons of sand and 1,500 tons of salt.
We pretty much try to keep it equal throughout the years and we hope the winters are fairly consistent, Mr. Smith said. Typically, we try to keep some reserve in case we have an unusually snowy season.
That unusually snowy season may be upon Ogdensburg, Mr. Smith said.
Were already about a month behind where we would be as far as material for a normal winter, so were hoping in 2013 that things will go back to normal based on what we normally have for a Northern New York winter, he said.
Ogdensburg uses 18 trucks for snow removal. Two truck purchases, paid for by the citys fund balance, have been approved for the 2012 and 2013 budget years, but that is not enough to compensate for years of deferred replacements, Mr. Smith said.
If you dont replace some of that yearly, it all becomes old at the same time, he said. These trucks are out there working every day. We get a lot out of them.
In next years budget, the citys snow removal is maintained at $279,160, its 2012 level, as part of an effort by the City Council and staff members to minimize the property tax increase.
Mr. Smith had asked for a $305,335 snow removal budget to replenish the reserve, which would have included a $3,000 increase in his budget for materials and supplies, including sand and road salt, from $55,000 to $58,000.

I realise that the teachers need to provoke the young students' minds, but I would think that an easier way to do this would be to bring up any actual plot or redeeming features of the book, or challenge my arguments with counter-arguments of their own. This was not happening. Instead, they would say something to the effect of "Oh, it's not that bad" and drop the subject. I don't think that any of them have ever been able to counter my arguments effectively. If they're trying to make me think on my feet (or challenge me), it's not going too well. Of course, I should be glad that they care so much about the subject to actually see plot in such books.

|Panthers Take Linebacker in First Round
|Written by Staff Reports
|Friday, 27 April 2012 08:12
Head coach Ron Rivera of the Carolina Panthers is a stickler for defense. And the second-year coach took a serious step in that direction Thursday night as he chose linebacker Luke Kuechly of Boston College with the ninth pick in the first-round of the National Football League Draft in
New York City.

Collins to use R.A. Dickey on short rest
Prior to yesterday's 2-1 win over the Giants Terry Collins told reporters he intends to use R.A. Dickey on short rest in the near future.
"It's going to happen,"Collins explained. "I think there's going to be a time when we are going to try it. When that is, I don't know yet."
However, Sandy Alderson told reporters yesterday there is a level of concern about how using Dickey on short rest might affect the pitching staff, and Dickey both this season and next season.
"We've got to take into account what effect that would have not just this year on R.A. and on the rest of the pitching staff, but also what effect that would have on R.A. going into next year. So that's very much just in the discussion stage at this point," Alderson said.
Dickey is 14-2 with a 2.83 ERA in 146 1/3 innings over 22 starts this season.
Michael Baron, ContributorI disagree with doing this. This throws off the routines of the four other starters, and routines and habits are important for pitchers to maintain throughout their work week. Why mess with a good thing? As I said, pitchers are creatures of habits, and Dickey's continuous routine probably plays into what makes him and his knuckleball so effective. Case in point was when Collins adjusted the rotation to give Santana extra rest after the no-hitter, and everyone seemed to struggle with that adjustment.
The only way I could see this serving as a benefit is that it could afford both Chris Young and Johan Santana extra rest. It would also increase the likelihood Dickey reaches 20 wins this season. But the costs could certainly outweigh the benefits of this move for everyone involved.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I hear what Mike is saying, but I'm mostly OK with this. My one concern is overexposing RA and his repertoire. These teams all play one another so much in the division, that I worry they will learn and adjust to Dickey quicker if they see him more often. Of course, I could be totally imaging that. It might not even work that way. Hopefully he is so good, and so unique, and he's such a wild card between traditional starting pitchers being faced, that no matter how often a hitter sees him it will not matter. Nevertheless, it's a concern.

LOL, tt, I can imagine you about gagged. Your menu sounds yummier. (I'm trying to avoid sugar while I have this infection.). Yes, I was disappointed, and I wonder how many regular little milks I'll go through (since I won't give her raw) before she keeps our plans.
Hope you get a great night's sleep tonight, hats, so you can have a fun hike and all.
Speaking of walking, time to take Gracie. I hope I can make it and not have to peeee really bad for an hour. I think I'll be ok...
