By the time Justin Minyard discovered the video of himself stoned, drooling and unable to help his daughter unwrap her Christmas presents, he was taking enough OxyContin, oxycodone and Valium every day to deaden the pain of several terminally ill cancer patients.
"Heroin addicts call it the nod," the former Special Forces soldier says of his demeanor in that video. "My head went back. My eyes rolled back in my head.
I started drooling on myself. My daughter was asking why I wasn't helping her, why I wasn't listening to her."
Seeing that video jolted Minyard out of a two-year opiate stupor. He asked a Fort Bragg pain specialist to help him get off the painkillers his primary care physician had prescribed. "I was extremely disappointed in myself," he says. "I knew I couldn't do that to my family again."
There are thousands of post-9/11 veterans like Minyard – men and women whose bodies were broken by roadside bombs, bullets or jumping out of helicopters and Humvees day after day, deployment after deployment, wearing 80 pounds of body armor and battle gear. Some have traumatic brain injuries. Some have PTSD. Some have deteriorating knees, shoulders or spines. All have pain.
Overwhelmed primary care physicians have responded with ever-increasing doses of prescription opioids. There has been a 270-percent increase in VA prescriptions for four key opiates since 9/11, according to an analysis by the Center for Investigative Reporting. VA patients are twice as likely to die from accidental drug overdoses as civilians, according to a VA study published in the journal Medical Care in 2011. Yet opioid painkillers provide "only modest medical benefits in treating chronic non-cancer pain," a separate VA study found.
In Minyard's case, as in so many others, "the treatment regimen was as bad as the disease," says Dr. Tony Dragovich, an Army pain specialist now in private practice in Virginia who helped get Minyard off opioids.
MULTIPLE INJURIES A series of debilitating injuries led to Minyard's massive painkiller habit. The first occurred when he and other members of the 3rd Infantry Regiment spent six weeks moving piles of rubble at the Pentagon following the 9/11 attacks. He then volunteered for language school, and by the time he deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 as an interrogator he was already taking aspirin, ibuprofen, Vicodin and muscle relaxants, and was being administered epidurals for his back pain. "I was only 25," he says. "And if you looked at an MRI, I had the spine of a 60-year-old."
The injuries mounted. Minyard fell two stories during a combat operation in Afghanistan, on top of the wear and tear that comes from riding in a helicopter – the vibration in a Black Hawk is particularly hard on the spine, Dragovich says – and running around in full combat gear. He had surgery to replace two discs after he returned from that deployment. By then he was alternating between Percocet and Vicodin and should have stayed home. But because the Army was short of soldiers fluent in Arabic, he volunteered to go to Iraq in 2007.
"Looking back, that was probably one of the worst decisions I made," Minyard says. "It had a lot of ripple effects beyond my health. I left when my daughter was three weeks old."
His pre-deployment physical was a quick conversation with a physician sitting behind a desk, who asked if he "needed any meds." Minyard doesn't blame the doctor. "Probably half of the people coming to his office every day are trying to get out of deployment," he says. "And he has to deal with 500 guys who are in line behind me.
He probably doesn't care about Justin and his back problems."
The op tempo in Iraq was as furious as the strain on Minyard's body. Before his unit rolled out on missions, he gave himself injections of a super-strength anti-inflammatory called Toradol. Between them, he visited the medical tent for epidurals and additional pain medications. "That was a double-edged sword," he says. It eased his pain while enabling him to continue harming his back.
Minyard's pain was severe enough, however, that he went to the doctor while home on R&R. Fort Bragg physicians told him the damage to his spine was so significant that he shouldn't return to Iraq. For him, that would have meant abandoning his platoon. "I chose my military family over my real family," he says. "I chose the military over my personal health."
The accumulated damage caught up to him. Minyard collapsed as he climbed out of a Humvee in August 2008. He was airlifted to Balad, where he sustained a concussion and additional back injuries after a nurse dumped him on the floor during a mortar attack, he says. Once home, surgeons at Duke University installed eight titanium rods to hold his spine in place – a procedure called an "anterior-posterior interbody fusion."
Before doctors could operate, however, Duke had to bring in an outside team to figure out how to treat Minyard's post-surgical pain given his high tolerance to opioids. They settled on ketamine in combination with other drugs that allowed Minyard to disengage from reality, he says. It worked. But by that time he was confined to a wheelchair and weighed 280 pounds.
For the next two years, Minyard struggled with PTSD, depression, severe cognitive challenges, the loss of his military career and anger over his injuries. He took ever larger doses of "big league opioids," as he puts it. "No one said, 'This is a problem.' This was offered to me."
Somewhere in that haze, he says he came close to killing himself.
"To go from a very successful career as a soldier to hiding out in our guest bedroom with the shades closed for weeks at a time, taking pain pills and being ashamed ... I considered taking the whole 30-day supply in one shot," he says. "It would have been incredibly selfish on my part." Though not unusual. Seven of his friends died in combat. Fifteen have killed themselves since coming back.
Minyard attempted to kick opioids three different times. "It was the most unpleasant, horrible, excruciating time of my life," he says. In the middle of moving to a different home, he came across an unlabeled video, popped it in the VCR, and watched in horror as his near-comatose self couldn't even help his daughter unwrap her Christmas presents. He asked his primary care physician at Fort Bragg to refer him to a pain specialist.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH An untold number of other veterans don't get the sort of help that saved Minyard. A 43-year-old retired Army veteran died four days after back surgery in the fall of 2011. The Arkansas State Crime Lab ruled the cause of death as "mixed drug intoxication" complicated by back surgery. His widow, Kimberly Stowe Green, told the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, "My husband – Ricky Green – died as a result of VA's skyrocketing use of prescription painkillers." Ricky's medication list included oxycodone, hydrocodone, Valium, Ambien, Zoloft, Gabapentin and Tramadol. This despite her husband's repeated requests that VA doctors treat the root cause of his medical problems – knee, back and ankle injuries acquired over his 23-year career as a paratrooper and military policeman – and reduce his prescription opiate painkillers, she said.
VA declined to answer questions regarding Green's case, noting that it does not comment on specific patients. Overall, the agency says it has "worked aggressively to promote the safe and effective use of opioid therapy." VA clinicians discuss benefits and side effects of medications with patients. Opting for opioids is "a collective decision between the veteran and their health-care team," VA says. In addition, VA connects patients and families to "pain schools," support groups and other resources.
VA has also adopted regulations aimed at reducing the risks of prescription painkiller use – a strategy it emphasized during that same congressional hearing. But VA hospitals and clinics are not adopting those changes, Green says. "They were repeatedly violated in my husband's case – and he had to pay with his life."
There are several other factors fueling the prescription painkiller epidemic, according to congressional testimony from The American Legion. Veterans can receive overlapping prescriptions from DoD, VA and TRICARE, and Medicaid or Medicare providers. Physicians often have difficulty distinguishing between TBI, PTSD and pain issues. The result is over-reliance on painkiller prescriptions. In addition, there is a significant need for prescription painkiller oversight among VA providers, the Legion says.
Meanwhile, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are at the greatest risk of addiction and accidental overdoses are the most likely to receive opioid painkillers from VA, according to a VA study published in 2012. This was particularly true if the veteran also had PTSD.
"People at the greatest risk of addiction and overdose are the people who are going to have the most distress from their pain," Dragovich says. "If a patient comes to you with a lot of psychological distress and a lot of pain-related distress, most physicians are going to give them opioids."
STANDARD PROCEDURE High doses of opioids became standard protocol for pain treatment in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Dragovich says. When that protocol is applied to a military base with 1 million primary care visits a year, the result is a lot of opioid prescriptions. Because young soldiers build tolerance to opioids quickly, he adds, doctors escalate the doses quickly.
Severely injured servicemembers also often come out of the hospital receiving high doses of opioids for traumatic battle injuries such as the loss of an arm or leg. Then they are faced with the excruciating work of getting off opioids for good. That's not an easy sell no matter the patient.
It took Minyard six months from his first meeting with Dragovich to agree to try the doctor's plan for helping him kick opioids. Dragovich used a drug called Suboxone to ease Minyard's transition off the painkillers. He also arranged for him to get a spinal-cord stimulator that uses electrical impulses to short-circuit pain messages before they reach the brain. He calls it a pacemaker for pain.
"(It) was like a lightning bolt," Minyard says.
"I felt like this was going to be the one thing that helps turn me around." It did. Today he's out of his wheelchair, has lost 100 pounds and regularly bicycles.
The Army supports the use of spinal-cord stimulation, but there are few specialists to guide soldiers to such alternatives. Fort Bragg had two board-certified, fellowship-trained pain specialists while Dragovich was stationed there. As a result, it may take three or four years of other treatments before injured troops see someone with Dragovich's expertise.
It's also difficult to get a referral to a pain specialist in VA, says Minyard. And it's quite difficult to receive spinal-cord stimulation at VA. "You have to fail at all other treatment plans," he says. "Is failure an overdose? Or is failure when you are a full-blown addict?"
VA says it has expanded its alternative medicine offerings, and provided spinal cord stimulation to 36 patients from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2013. Beyond that, its treatment includes "timely access to secondary consultations from pain medicine, behavioral health, physical medicine and rehabilitation," VA says.
Minyard, who is 90-percent service-connected for his injuries through VA, has charted his own recovery. He took his last opioid painkiller in October 2011. At his Army retirement ceremony in March 2012, he thanked Dragovich for saving his life. He feels so passionately about staying off opioids that he has a medical directive prohibiting the use of narcotics without his consent. And if he's unable to provide that consent, his wife has to agree to it. He tested that directive when he was struck by a truck while bicycling at Fort Bragg – an unsolved hit-and-run. But he has no second thoughts about opioids.
"I consider myself extremely lucky," he says. "I was able to push through the maze of providers ... and find the doctor who knew the secret. Many soldiers aren't so lucky, and are left to the crushing reality of lifelong opioid dependency. Or worse."

Any veterans that want to work on allowing all our battles to have the doctor approved choose to try medical cannabis, especially when other drugs have not worked, hit me up at murphy9682 at gmail. If you think all veterans that use cannabis are hippies and should die also please hit me up.
I carefully take a hydrocodone (1-2 tabs. a day )for severe arthritis. It HELPS me. I can then do chores like walking my dogs and yard/housework. I'm not a drinker or marijuana user. Have never used street drugs.
I fear that this type of (scare) article will stop the V.A. from allowing me to get this prescription. I must go now to a non-V.A. doctor and pharmacy to get Zetia (cholesterol med.) The V.A. doesn't carry it.
Wow, a ton of information on here about how the VA is screwing up! I've had VA medical care for more than a few years now because of a long term back problem. I've been taking the low dose of 5mg Vicodin. I'm so sick and tired of the doctor and nurses threatening me every time I go in for a checkup about the dangers of using this drug.
I've been on Vicodin for almost 4 years now, if the drug was so frigg'n bad, why did they have me on it for all these years? They've never ONCE raised my medication, even though any half wit knows that anything you take long term, your body becomes ammune to it pretty much, and obviously you need to either take more, or raise the dosage.
I'd much rather go in, have my back operated on, and actually fixed instead of taking all this medication. But, the VA won't have that. It's cheaper, and easier for them just to keep going through all this garbage with me, stringing me along as long as they can. It's all a money game with them, that's it.
Now I go in to the VA every few weeks for blood work, urine tests, ultra sounds on my liver, ect. Anything just to make it look like they're doing something. Every time I go in there now, I ask, how is this going to fix my back? And, every time, I get the puzzled look from the doctor and nurses. The real answer is, this won't do a damn thing to fix my back. There's nothing else wrong with me, they just keep doing all the tests to make it look like they're doing something.
All I have to say is, what a fun and profitable little game they play over at the VA. It's a real pain for the guy that has to live with it.
This article is good as far as it goes, but the situation is much deeper.
Check out the Citizens Commission for Human Rights site (CCHR) to read about The Hidden Enemy. for the even greater threat. I'm a Vietnam veteran, and hate to see what is happening to our boys and girls.
I'm a veteran of the Cold War Naval Submarine Force. I'm rated at 90% but being paid at 100% due to unemployability. I have an injured spine (lower) and a gut full of surgery due to injuries/damage due to ulcers sustained in during my 12 years on subs. Increasing chronic pain levels and failing health finally took me out of the work force in 2007 after 30 years of working full time and better (couldn't make the 10% work any longer). I began taking a minimum dose of oxycodone (5 mg) in 2006 just so I could get enough sleep each night so I could work the next day. Since then the dosage has been increased to 10 mg a day (5 mg taken at supper and bedtime) which is just enough to "take the edge off" the chronic pain so I (and my wife as well) can get some sleep.
I'm the odd-ball out here it seems. I've actually stopped taking the oxycodone twice by my own choice, once for 6 months and once for 4 months without any withdraws, cravings or side effects, probably due to the very low dosage, with the exception that the chronic pain increased rather significantly, but that was to be expected. My VA PCP understands the kind of pain I'm in and has offered to increase the dosage since 10 mgs is almost nothing but I always refuse.
But what I wouldn't give if the VA actually offered a cannabis based pain medication that a vet could get right from the VA itself rather than being forced to being put on a state list and having pay for and then smoke the stuff.
I'm a 100% service connected disabled vet with severe lower back & upper right scapula pain that has been given opioids by the VA for pain relief. It became obvious to me that I was becoming an addict. I had a straight face to face with my primary care doc and asked directly for alternatives to manage the pain, not once, but 4 times over the last year. Absolutely no response has been forth coming. I only take them now when the pain is so great that I feel that suicide is the best way out.
I have now put in a complaint to the VA OIG about the fact that there has been no response from my doctor, that I'm being ignored. The very next day after I submitted the complaint I got a standard response email saying that the OIG is overwhelmed with complaints and cannot follow up on every one because they don't have the staff, and that it will take them 6 weeks or longer to determine if my complaint will be investigated.
The reality is, that I think the doctor's hands have been tied by the administrators who know that pills are comparatively cheap and that alternative treatments may cost more. Further, that if the administrators allow the doctors to spend what it takes to help patients, that the administrators BONUSES will be negatively impacted due to rising cost! I believe that is the real reason why nothing is being done for us.
If we collectively start demanding that this problem get investigated either by the VA OIG or a special counsel empowered by Congress, we might get somewhere. If we all started bombarding the network news organizations that might turn up the heat to get them to act on our behalf also. Maybe it takes both as a combined effort.
Start writing or emailing the : VA, OIG, Congressmen/Senators, Network news, etc. and tell them to investigate this shameful treatment to those of us who served and are now suffering with great pain. And don't stop. Get your friends, neighbors, relatives, church, etc all to do the same and it's OK to send the same letter or email more than once. United, we stand as brothers & sisters once more and if don't unite, we fall.
I would love for my husband to get the spinal-cord stimulator I think it would help more then any drug would.
Dara please feel free to contact me at 407.702.9591 and I will work my hardest to help you and your husband.
Dara - My heart goes out to you and your husband. Try asking the doctor for a referral to an acupuncturist. It may be easier to get through the red tape and it has been proven to be a successful drug replacement at Walter Reed.
See the movie "Escape Fire" for more info! Good luck.
My husband was being treated by VA for his chronic, increasing, pain. He was 100% service related disabled with many health issues. He had a great amount of pain, suffering from MS and many broken bones from falling. He was housebound, in a wheelchair unable to stand or walk. His new SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) doctor who, saw my husband once, decided he should be cut back on Morphine because of a guideline issued by the VA. This caused my husband to suffer so much, it was cruel! He died 2 wks later in Feb. He shouldn't have suffered like he did before his death. You can't practice medicine by applying general rules. Each person/patient is different. The use of pain medications should be monitored, by a physician, and applied to individuals, not across the board because of over prescribing medications by others. It breaks my heart to have seen him suffer needlessly. Shame on the doctor.
Sister, (You are my Sister because your husband was my Brother In Arms) You are exactly right, and I am saddened and angered by your loss, and by the suffering your husband endured because of idiotic, impulse applications of "the new idea" in the treatment of pain. What works for one person does not automatically work for another person, but because the people making such decisions are NOT the Veterans suffering in pain, the issue is treated with a capricious indifference. I am appalled that The American Legion, which is supposed to be a Veterans' and Service Members' ADVOCACY and SUPPORT Organization, so readily jumps on the political bandwagon that has been put forth by the low-lifes who are interested in cutting troop strengths, cutting Veterans' Benefits, and in general, Treating Military and Veterans as an annoyance that costs money rather than what we Truly Are: The Backbone Of The United States Of America. God Bless You, and May Your Late Husband Rest In Peace in the knowledge that there ARE Veterans who are aware, and are speaking out against all of us being treated with One Diagnosis, and shoved out the door. This does not happen in every case, but dammnit, Why Does It Happen At All?
As a Vietnam Veteran benefiting from the use of cannibus I want to thank the VA for approving pot for medical use in the states it can be obtained
legally. I had to relocate away from my family to get the medacine I need, but I will be healthier, happier and live longer without sleeping pills or blood pressure meds.
Not everyone is the same. I suffered massive pain from my back & Neck for many years. They tried everything except pain medication. After going to a the pain Clinic--I was given a very low dose of Methadone
(I/2 tab twice a day) and It didn't take the pain away but it made it tolerable. I do have PTSD and I don't even drink alcohol so, it bothers me when people say PTSD and Addiction in the same sentence. I took this small dose for several years until 2013 when I called for a refill and without an explanation or plan, I was told 'No' and stop taking it 'Cold Turkey'. I was fine for about 2-3weeks ,at least until my back remind me of the pain. I don't think that I had any withdrawals and I don't know why. I think I was treated that way because of the stereotyping That people label PTSD and addiction. I would have preferred My Doctor to at least discussed this with me and shared a plan of care. I didn't get that Opportunity. It was just a simple 'no' during a telephone refill. I'm finding out now, it was about decreasing the number of "veterans' taking pain Meds. An Appointment and discussion would have been appreciated and if people stop stereotyping I wouldn't have been treated like a number. I have good and bad days; I suffer a lot with mostly Neck pain and I take massive amounts of Aleve, Tylenol, Motrin and whatever they sell over the counter. I've tried all of the non-medication stuff through years going to the pain-clinic. Please stop stereotyping we are not all the same....
I work with this everyday and I feel that the Va is creating drug abusers who know that they can get the medication so easily and yes they let the doctor know of their pain but I feel it's up to the doctor to suggest other alternatives beside pain medication because we are crating nothing but pill heads. Pain medications aret the new street drug also they are either selling it or taking way too much!!!!
Something need to be done and ASAP!!!!!!
I've been treated by the VA for 8 years for injuries sustained when I was wounded in combat in Iraq. After being treated at 2 different VA facilities and by 6 different doctors, I've yet to find one doctor that didn't go to extreme lengths to explain the dangers of opioid pain medication and vehemently advise against taking them if the pain could be managed in any other way. They also regularly administer blood work to test for liver and kidney function as well as urinalysis drug screenings to insure that the medication isn't being abused or mixed with other drugs, either illicit or prescribed.
However, somehow every time someone gets addicted to pains pills it's always the "doctor's fault", but in reality, the patient asked for the medication they received and fully knew what they were asking for.
The doctor doesn't tell patient how much pain they are experiencing. The doctor doesn't tell the patient that they need an increased dosage of medication. These are things that the patient tells the doctor and the doctors do what they can to ease the pain symptoms that they are told about. Are they supposed to say "No, deal with the pain"?
The bottom line is that these veterans are adults and they know the dangers of opioid pain medication and they know what dependance/addiction is. They tell the doctor where it hurts, and the doctor tries his or her best to help them and ease their pain.
Act like an adult and take some responsibility for your own actions. Research the medications you put into your body and stop trying to blame the people who have only been trying to help you.
The doctors, nurses and staff of the VA deserve our thanks, not our scorn.
Thank you Sir for taking the time to read the piece and for leaving your comment. I appreciate your point of view and wish you all the best.

Kudos great article. But I would also suggest from my own experience Doctor's are too willing to prescribe pain killers for other maladies. When I had a service related back injury instead of suggesting chiropractic solutions or an operation they suggested pain killers in part to get me back into the fight and alleviate the guilt and sense of anxiety coming from failure of being down; they did not offer another solution.
This is not just a Military problem. Maybe part of the problem is the result of how immersed medical practitioners have become in prescription solutions from a bottle determined by pharmaceutical companies interested in volume and sales versus more constructive Doctor Patient interaction. When Docs are stuck feeding symptoms into a table without more knowledge of the patient pharmaceuticals seem to be the only solution and addiction can be calculated from the same sort statistical data bases used to prescribe the drugs in the first place.
What i wonder is did they bother to calculate how many persons suffering from PTSD treated with drugs would likely become addicts and was it determined an acceptable risk?
Thank you for your piece "On the Edge," the effects of increased prescriptions of opiates have been well documented and are a serious issue. However, although there was a section on alternative treatment, there is no mention of medicinal marijuana as a safer, less habit forming alternative. The American Legion seems silent on the issue and many veterans fearful of the effects of opiates use medicinal marijuana in states that allow it. This despite the fact that the VA discourages the use and even study of marijuana's medicinal purposes and possibly positive effects on both the PTSD/TBI and pain fronts. Here in Arizona, the legislature has refused to hear a bill that will allow even a discussion over a University of Arizona proposal to study the effects medicinal marijuana on PTSD patients. It is my hope that the American Legion will lead the charge in getting veterans access to the best care, regardless of the social stance many veterans and veterans organizations take regarding marijuana for recreational use. Maybe it will take multiple deaths and addiction to show that medicinal marijuana should get another look, but it shouldn't.
I agree... completely!

The Stewart Motel, also known as the Royal Palm Motel, at First Avenue North in Naples gave way to Enterprise Office Center, a complex of condos, shops and offices. A Daily News reader provided the photograph. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos, videos and stories at naplesnews.com/participate.
Motel Stewart, 70 N. Tamiami Trail, was owned and operated by Ethel and Art Arvigo. A Daily News reader provided this postcard, dated 1977, when the in-season room rate was $25 per day and the courtyard pool seems to have been frequented by fashion models.
This is the Isles of Capri Marina and Motel, circa 1960s. Dick and Kay Larson of East Naples owned and operated it from 1962 to 1966. It would evolve into Jim & Eydie's restaurant, taking over the gas station and beer/bait shop at right, later Backwater Nick's restaurant.
Isles of Capri Marina and Motel owner Dick Larson, left, in this May 1963 fishing photo, with Waldo Morgan, center, who built the hotel-marina, and friend Bob Carter. They caught those snook off the beach at Coconut Island in less than an hour using live shrimp as bait.
Nice catch. Can you guess the name of the boy in this 1956 photo? He is former Bonita Springs Fire Chief Dan Gourley, then age 5. This 350-pound goliath grouper was caught using a mullet as bait off Bonita Beach. Gourley says the massive fish was caught off the beach and hauled to what is now called Riverside Park by Rehard's wrecker service. In the photo is Gourley's late father and mother, Wendell and Ellen. FYI, the bridge in the background is what today separates the park from the upcoming Imperial Landing project downtown. The bridge spans the Imperial River at Old 41 Road — at the time known as U.S. 41. Photo courtesy Dan Gourley and the Bonita Springs Historical Society.
Let's go to the beach — and get some shade from the rays! This is how it was done at the Naples Pier in the early days of Naples, according to a 1950 postcard shared by Paul Stevens.
Here is a seldom-seen scene from Naples' olden days. The post card, shared by Paul Stevens of Naples, shows the Bayshore Hotel, looking west from today's Naples City Dock at 12th Avenue South. The hotel opened in 1921 and burned down in 1934. The city water tower came down in the 1960s. The water tower in the background belonged to the Naples Hotel, where the Plaza on Third Street is today. The Dock restaurant would be at center, right.
The postcard is undated, but it looks at least 50 years old. The scene is the Rexall Store, were Naples Fifth Avenue Pharmacy operated at Fifth and Eighth Street, a block west of U.S. 41, until 2006. Now, it's Rossopomodoro Italian restaurant.
Golden Lion Inn — Longtime Collier County resident and history buff Alvin Lederer shares this undated postcard of the Golden Lion Inn. "It was the Holiday Inn in the Everglades," he writes. "Now the National Park Service uses it as a rangers headquarters. During the days of pot smuggling, the Golden Lion was a busy place with DEA agents in three-piece suits trying to catch locals selling their haul in the lounge. I am told it was quite comical."
It wasn't that long ago, but Muldoon's pizza parlors have faded from local memory. The sign on the front of the Fourth Avenue South shop at left says Muldoon's opened here in 1972. No such clues are on the location at right along U.S. 41 East at the Lely Shopping Center. The shops lasted about 20 years. The downtown Naples site now is Ciao restaurant and the Lely site is a Quiznos.
The last of Naples' fabled concrete street markers as it appeared until 2003 at the former home of Preston and Margaret Tuttle. Street markers, as they were called in the late 1940s, once lined the streets and avenues of Naples. According to Doris Reynolds' book, "When Peacocks Were Roasted and Mullet Was Fried," there would be many "firsts" for Margaret Tuttle. In 1929, she was the first girl to graduate from Naples High School. She and Preston were the first couple to be married in the First United Methodist Church. She was also the first woman mechanic to work for Florida Power & Light. Margaret died in 2005 at the age of 95
Local postcards to family and friends back home used to feature life's simpler pleasures. This undated souvenir shows shuffleboard action at the former Keewaydin Club, south of Naples' Port Royal and Gordon Pass. It was a winter retreat for the low-key rich and famous from 1935 to 1995; now it is an enclave of luxury megahomes, still accessible only by boat.
It's still there. Though downsized today, the Royal Palm Hammock fuel outpost remains at U.S. 41 East — called Tamiami Trail and Route 94 here — and State Route 92, 17 miles south of Naples. A side building that has hosted restaurants and shops would be off the right side of this undated postcard scene.
This vintage 1961 aerial photo of Naples is striking for what is there — the City Dock and adjoining low-rise buildings near today's Dock Restaurant site at Crayton Cove. It is striking for what is not there — just about everything else that is there today, especially The Cove Inn (at lower right), condos and megahomes. That's Aqualane Shores in the upper left. Courtesy of Art Ullmann of Naples.
A scene from a 1976 sales brochure for Naples' Port Royal shows a classic backyard. Note the size and vintage of the boat, and the scale of the home across the water. A comparable scene today would likely be through a giant pool cage at a much larger yacht and several megahomes. Brochure courtesy of Al Bruggemeyer.
Alvin Lederer, a longtime Naples resident and history buff, shares this vintage postcard looking south at Naples Pier. His copy is postmarked 1956 — four years before Hurricane Donna and the start of Naples and Collier County's boom era. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos, videos and stories at naplesnews.com/participate.
Here is a truly classic photo of the heart of Naples. Though the photo is undated, development dates of visible landmarks lead us to believe it was made in 1959 or 1960. This view looks south from above today's Park Shore neighborhood. That is The Moorings and Coquina Sands, in order, heading south toward the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club grounds, with Old Naples, Aqualane Shores, Naples Bay and Royal Habor among other landmarks. The inlet at right is, of course, Doctors Pass.
Naples' beachfront in 1956 — What? No high-rises? No mega-houses? No big streets? What kind of place is this? It is the core of Naples' beachfront in 1956 — four years before Hurricane Donna. That is the Haldeman House at center, bottom. Naples Pier would be below and to the left of that. That is the landmark Naples Hotel at center and slightly left. Old-timers can find lots more among the details — the Quonset hut movie theater, for example. Published March 12, 2006
This rare and spacious northeasterly vista of Naples Bay, with Naples Municipal Airport in the background, is from 1969. Long before the big-time development of today, the area of Tin City is at upper left. The old Boat Haven, now the site of Naples Bay Resort, is at upper right. There is plenty more to "see" that wasn't there at the time. Photo courtesy of Art Ullmann of Naples.
Can you guess the identity of this scene from Collier County in 1970? It looks south from the intersection of today's Airport-Pulling Road (heading into the horizon) and Immokalee Road. Today, this scene is laden with homes and stores, including Sam's Club, Green Tree Center and Piper's Crossing. That was the Naples Dinner Theatre at bottom right. Photo courtesy of Art Ullmann of Naples.
Thank goodness for Art Ullmann's generosity and sense of history. The retired Naples businessman, who once bought an office building vacated by a surveying company that kept meticulous aerial/photographic records, provides this 1948 vista looking north at Naples as it was taking shape. The pristine condition of both sides of Naples Bay and the Gordon Pass will be of special interest to those who study this classic photo. Note the Keewaydin Club, lower left.
Minutes away from Naples' exclusive Port Royal neighborhood, says the 1967 property sales brochure, are waters loaded with fighting fish such as tarpon (left inset) and snook (right inset).
The Enchanting Shores mobile home park in East Naples is the centerpiece of this aerial dated 1974. U.S. 41 East was two lanes. That's Naples Bay in the distance to the west.
Old U.S. 41 and railroad tracks came through the heart of Bonita Springs in 1968. A river, the Imperial, runs through it too, horizontally, above center. Photo courtesy of Art Ullmann of Naples.

Bonita Beach, 1976 — A photograph from the archives of the Daily News shows Bonita's beach in March 1976. The view offers a much smaller-town look than readers will find there today. The photograph was used in the Daily News' former annual Visitors Edition.
"Noted horsewoman" is how Gulfshore Life described Lois O. Kerckhoff of Naples, formerly of St. Louis, in the magazine's 1970-74 anthology edition. A profile of Kerckhoff and her home, which was decorated with international flair as a "harmonious whole," noted her success with orchids. "I talk to them," she confided.
The goal of $110,000 was big money in those days — 1963. Naples civic leaders and bankers chart the progress of a fund drive to build the Central Avenue library, then still three years from its grand opening. From left are Eugene Turner, Mamie Tooke and Ben Parks. Collier County News/Daily News file photo.

How many familiar names and faces can you glean from this Daily News photo and caption published in 1962 — or was it 1963? "Guests of honor at the Naples Jaycee dinner last night were these members of the Jaycee Little League baseball team which placed second in the league after a slow start. They are from left, front row: Billie Sorber, Ben Parks, Harold Cross, Bobby Marshall, Kevin Ginos; second row, Mark Henning, Nicky Koch, Tony Hunter, Mike Watkins, Jackie Sorber; Third row, Henry Watkins III, Lance Stahlman, and Don Hunter; rear row, Ken Saad, manager, almost hidden, H.D. Watkins Jr., co-manager; and Marvin Cecil, Jaycee president. Not present for the picture were Dirk Elferdink and Chris Provenzano."
Those were the days — when matchbooks were hot modes of advertising for restaurants and bars. Now, most eateries and bars either ban or drastically restrict smoking, making matchbooks obsolete — or the targets of collectors such as Muffy Gill of Naples.

Built in 1924 and shuttered since 1998, Bonita Springs' Shangri-La has the city's namesake natural waters on its grounds. This undated postcard says on the back: "An exquisite, year-round, vacation and health resort. The ideal place for vacationing, fasting, health rejuvenation, weight control, delightful vegetarian-hygienic meals. Pool. Boating. Gulf beaches."
Now it's Riverside Park. Back in 1959, the postmark date of this postcard sent to friends back in Fredonia, N.Y., it was Imperial River Court in downtown Bonita Springs. The Liles Hotel, bottom left, has been rescued and refurbished as a civic meeting place.
Although still there with the same name, the look and atmosphere of the Edgewater Beach Hotel on Gulfshore Boulevard have been upgraded since this ad in a 1966 Naples Guide magazine.
In 1966, this was the standard of luxury living in Naples — a brand new home on Naples Bay, as shown in this ad from Naples Guide magazine.
These prices are no longer there. Neither is the dealership, whose site at U.S. 41 and Seventh Avenue North in Naples is now Ric's Cafe & Grill. This ad is from an April 1958 edition of the Collier County News, the predecessor of the Daily News. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos, videos and stories at naplesnews.com/participate.
Tomatoes for 19 cents a pound? Steak for $1.89 a pound? The Christmas season bargains were found in Bonita Springs' pioneer grocery store — 30 years ago. From the files of the Bonita Banner. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos, video and stories at naplesnews.com/participate.
Dinner for $3? You are way too late to make these reservations. The ad is from the 1956 Collier County News, a predecessor of the Naples Daily News. The dining spot is now part of the Naples Community Hospital campus. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos, videos and stories at naplesnews.com/participate.
The year: 1970. The ad is from Look magazine. The winner of a sweepstakes sponsored by Pine-Sol household cleaner wins a "$25,000 Fairways luxury condominium apartment home directly on the golf course in Lehigh Acres — one of Florida's finest year-round vacation communities. Two bedrooms, two baths — everything for easy living ..." Courtesy of Bonnie Veenschoten.
How's the real estate market? In 1966, when this ad from The Naples Guide visitors pamphlet was published, it was probably considered red hot and very expensive. It's all relative, isn't it?
Such deals — 40 years ago. This real estate ad is from the February 1966 edition of the Naples Guide, which catered to tourists and prospective homebuyers.
Three-bedroom beachfront home advertised for $188,000. Longtime Naples resident Dorothy Caruthers made her office on Fifth Avenue South as far back as the early 1970s.
Two-bedroom Pierre Club condo priced at $42,500. Such deals. And such service. Longtime Naples resident Dorothy Caruthers made her office on Fifth Avenue South as far back as the early 1970s.
What an ad! But the look is so dated. Longtime Naples resident Dorothy Caruthers made her office on Fifth Avenue South as far back as the early 1970s.
Some of the information hasn't changed. Collier County still has 1,994 square miles and Naples is still 110 miles from Miami. But most of the other data changed dramatically since this snapshot of local factoids was published in the 1994 Visitor's Edition of the Daily News. The county population now is over 300,000, and voter registration is up to near 186,000. Clipping courtesy of John C. Martin of Naples

The Bureau of Land Management Price Field Office and the Canyon Country Fire Zone are proposing a fuels reduction and habitat restoration project southwest of the communities of East Carbon/Columbia, Sunnyside and west of Horse Canyon.
The Horse Canyon Fuels Reduction and Habitat Restoration project will thin portions of pinyon and juniper stands in the heavily wooded area west of Horse Canyon extending to Highway 6. The project area includes approximately 20,500 acres of BLM-administered public lands.
Treatments will include: mechanical shredding, hand thinning and piling, prescribed burning, and seeding. The proposed project is needed to prevent an extreme wildland fire event that could threaten life, property, firefighter safety and ecosystem health. Completion of this project would reduce the potential of catastrophic wildland fire burning across BLM managed lands.
Management objectives for this project include: reducing the fire hazard by thinning dense trees and lowering fuel loads; restoring biological processes to revitalize the ecosystem; restoring and protecting critical sagebrush habitat and establishing a diverse and resilient understory of grasses and shrubs to improve range and wildlife habitat.
A bonus to the community will be the availability of firewood collection areas before and after completion of fuels treatments in designated areas within the project boundary. Firewood permits will be available for purchase at the Price Field Office, 125 South 600 West in Price.
The BLM Environmental Assssment (EA) DOI-BLM-UT-G020-2011-0045 will be posted for a 30 day public review/comment. A copy of the EA can be found at https://www.blm.gov/ut/enbb/.
Similar treatments in the area include the Columbia Fuels project. This project, about 1,400 acres in size was completed in 2010 and utilized similar methods. and objectives.

Dink Flamingo's Active Duty Hot American Soldiers Having Wild Gay Sex
Throw eight horny dudes in a hotel suite and what's bound to happen? Cocks are bound to get hard and people are bound to get naked and I'm sure not gonna miss it as I get the camera rolling. All the clothes come off in an instant and the shit's about to go down. Hops is stroking his big fat cock along with everyone else and things begin to heat up. Damien and Adam are the first to latch onto the twins cocks as the twins lay side-by-side sporting hard-ons. Damien takes one and Adam takes the other and it's on. It isn't long before the four boys in the back take the hint and Hops starts sucking Zack while Brock sucks on Kasey. Brock is making sweet love to Kasey's cock while Hops jumps on Zacks for a spin. The twins are enjoying the comforts of Adam and Damien's hot mouths on their identical cocks. Hops starts making love to Zack's cock as he licks the shaft up and down with that edgy straight boy attitude of his seeming to get lost somewhere in the moment. He's a cocksucker for now and
Never had twins, well not yet, but had brothers! They took turns :)
Fuck yeah!!
Was hot. Like how many guys there was.
fuckin family together masturbating... if they were kissing each other and fucking it would be even better!!

Sorry, not sure of my ability to cut and paste URL...however...if you google Bradley Lord, you'll find it!
There is an article from this week's Swampscott Reporter about Bradley Lord (interviews his brother). Nice memories of a truly great skater!
Sorry, not sure of my ability to cut and paste URL...however...if you google Bradley Lord, you'll find it!
There is an article from this week's Swampscott Reporter about Bradley Lord (interviews his brother). Nice memories of a truly great skater!
Apparently this article was done because Lord is being inducted into the Figure Skating Hall of Fame:
Lord won US Nationals in men's in 1961, and was one of those who died in the 1961 airplane crash in which the whole US team, coaches and all, died.
Here's the interview with the brother:
I remember Lord's name, though I don't know anything about his skating. The ladies' champion, Laurence Owen, and the ladies' half of the pairs team, Maribel Owen, were skating royalty, daughters of multiple champ Maribel Vinson Owen, and moreover, Laurence was obviously a gifted skater. So her imprint was understandably stronger on skating history, especially since all three of the Owens died on the crash. That family's tragedy tends to overshadow the others, though it shouldn't. I'm glad to have the chance to pay attention to Bradley Lord.
Edit: I just read the interview with Bradley's brother. It's very moving. Amazing to realize that half a century has passed since the plane crash.

I never saw Bradley Lord's skating until now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXMBVTQHC0o
Wow, I am sincere when I say his skating is phenomenal ~ love the lightning fast speed he has across the ice, the exquisite basics (reminiscent of Yuka Sato or vice-versa as the case may be), the lilting quality he has in his delicious straightline footwork, and the reverse spread eagles down the ice was simply magnificent! Not to mention the double walleys at the beginning into that joyous Mazurka jump!
After watching Bradley & Peggy's skating the past day, I have to honestly say that I enjoy the skating of the past moreso than the present. One can really see how much the influence of figures played in the actual *skating*. Their single axels with the delayed height, power, spring, distance covered across the ice, and splendid landings are more enjoyable to watch than triples, as one can actually see everything with the naked eye, kinda like slow motion, which adds that extra special touch imho.
I'm hoping that with Mao Asada working with Mr. Sato (Yuka's father), whom has had coaching experience for over 40+ years, and has also been a 10-time Japanese National Champion, he can teach her to skate like this.
p.s. lol, I didn't recognize Dick at all. I really enjoyed how gallant he was when the commentator tried to focus on Dick & his past successes, but instead Dick succinctly brought it back around to Bradley Lord and the *present*. Bravo, Dick, Bravo! *clapping*

Many have experienced the devastating effects of losing a loved one to mental or behavioral disorders that could not be understood, but to video games? With the recent spotlight that has been shown upon video game addiction, is gaming to become the "crack epidemic" for millennial youth?
For a definition of computer and video game addiction ones need to look no further than the National Institute of Media and the Family.
"When time spent on the computer, playing video games or cruising the Internet reaches a point that it harms a child's or adults family and social relationships or disrupts school or work life, that person may be caught in the cycle of addiction," explains NIMF literature. "Like other addictions, the computer or video game has replaced friends and family as the source of a person's emotional life. Increasingly, to feel good, the addicted person spends more time playing video games or searching the Internet. Time away from the computer or game causes moodiness or withdrawal."
The NIMF warns that when a person spends up to 10 hours a day or more rearranging or sending files, playing games, surfing the net, visiting chatrooms, instant messaging and reading emails, that can easily reach up to seventy to eighty hours a week online with the computer. Major social, school or work disruptions will result.
"I have seen several of my friends just disappear," said a Carbon High senior. "It was like the video game just sucked them in."
In severe cases, an online or in game "fantasy world" has replaced a person's real life. The virtual reality of the computer or game is more inviting than the everyday world of family, school or work. With increased access to pornography on the Internet and in games, this fantasy world may be highly sexual, according to the institute.
As of June 2007 the American Psychological Association had not yet classified video game addiction in the DSM IV, it is suggested that the symptoms of the disease would be similar to that of other psychological addictions such as compulsive gambling.
Wikipedia's online encyclopedia, which allows content to be posted by individuals around the world, reports that the AMA would classify the addiction as an impulse control disorder possibly displaying the following diagnostic criteria.
Persistent thoughts of the activity or performance of the activity. (Preoccupation)
Need for increased time spent on the activity to achieve satisfaction or diminished reward for the same amount of time spent on the activity. (Tolerance)
Inability to control, stop or diminish the behavior. (Loss of control)
Restlessness or irritability when prevented from parking in the activity. (Withdrawal)
Lying to friends or family about extent of involvement with activity. (Continuance despite adverse consequences)
Committing illegal acts to sustain activity. (Continuance despite adverse consequences)
Relying on others to finance activity. (Continuance despite adverse consequences)
While there is still no formal data concerning the prevalence of video game addiction some countries have responded to the problem by opening treatment centers.
The Chinese government operates several clinics to treat those addicted to online games, chatting and web surfing. Treatment for patients, most of whom have been forced to attend by parents or government officials, include various forms of pain, or uneasiness.
According to the online encyclopedia, China also introduced an anti-online gaming addiction system in 2005 aimed at reducing in-game rewards after three hours of play for underage individuals, reports however indicate that young gamers are finding ways to circumvent the system.
In the most extreme of cases, there have been three well-documented deaths caused directly by exhaustion from playing games for long periods. In South Korea, Lee Seung Seop died after playing Starcraft for over 50 hours.
Early identifiers of this addiction in children include:
Computer or video game use characterized by intense feelings of pleasure and guilt.
Obsessing and pre-occupied about being on the computer, even when not connected.
Hours playing video games or on the computer increasing, seriously disrupting family, social or even work life.
Lying about computer or video game use.

The Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is widely considered the most beautiful silver coin ever minted. It was minted from 1916 through 1947 with none struck in 1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1930, 1931 and 1932. In 1916 new designs were selected for the Dime, Quarter and the Half Dollar. Both the Dime and Half Dollar were designed by Adolph A Weinman and the beautiful Standing Liberty Quarter was designed by Herman NacNeil. The Mercury Dime was minted through 1945, the Standing Liberty Quarter was minted through 1930 and the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar lasted longer and was minted through 1947. The initials âAAWâ can be seen (on coins Very Good or better) just under the eagleâs wing-tip on the reverse of the beautiful coin. The Mint-Mark (on Denver and San Francisco coins) is just below the end of the pine branch on the left side of the reverse. However in 1916 and part of 1917, the Mint Mark was on the obverse (just under âIN GOD WE TRUSTâ).
You are bidding on a 1946 Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar that grades "Fine" with no problems. This could be a nice addition to your silver collection or hoard. NO RESERVE!!! LOW OPENING FIRST BID!!! TRUE AUCTION-THIS COIN WILL SELL TO THE HIGH BIDDER!!! Shipping is $2.00 but if buyer has won another of my auctions the same day, then shipping can be combined (only 30 cents for each additional auction won)!

Jorge Valencia began his tenure as the Point Foundation's Executive Director in January 2007. He brings to Point a wealth of experience in managing and growing nonprofit organizations, a proven ability to design and manage the infrastructure of expanding organizations and extensive experience with, and sensitivity to, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth issues.
Jorge served as President and Executive Director of The Trevor Project from 2001 — 2006. The Trevor Project is a nationwide non-profit organization established to promote acceptance of gay and questioning teenagers and to aid in suicide prevention by operating the nation's first round-the-clock toll-free suicide prevention helpline aimed at LGBT youth. Under Jorge's guidance, The Trevor Project increased its operational budget by 800% and its foundation-based grant funds by 900%. He created and managed its major donor program and expanded its volunteer pool to more than 500. Jorge's leadership contributed to Trevor's growth as a nationally recognized youth service organization, and he continues to serve on the Trevor Project's Leadership Council.
Jorge gained his operational, administrative and management experience at a range of non-profit, corporate and governmental enterprises. Before working at The Trevor Project, Jorge directed the Corporate Communications division at Pueblo Corporation, a marketing firm located in Los Angeles. Some of his clients included Ford Motor Company, DirecTV, Food 4 Less and Sprint PCS. From 1996 – 1999, Jorge was Director of Communications at Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY), an organization that conducts leadership seminars for promising youth. At HOBY, Jorge directed all public relations activities, as well as the production and implementation of organizational public relations for the non-profit organization comprised of four regions, 5,000 volunteers and over 14,000 annual participants. From 1993–1996, Jorge served as the Director of External Affairs for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), a political appointment in the Clinton Administration. While at the SBA, Jorge represented the Administration and SBA interests at numerous speaking engagements, conferences and media interviews conducted in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He also worked in the Office of Public Liaison for the Presidential Inaugural Committee from 1992–1993 for the incoming Clinton Administration. Prior to that Jorge served as Director of Public Relations and Marketing at Power Productions International, where he was responsible for creating and negotiating contracts with LA Gear, Reebok International and City of Hope.
Jorge earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University in 1989.

StephanieMichiganHairOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairSo-so Product.I have used this product with my normal hair, thermally reconditioned hair, styling as curly hair, styling as straight hair, and extremely fried hair from highlights. I have fine and thin hair that's hard to get volume into regardless, but I need my conditioners to have enough moisture and slip in order for me to detangle the rat's nest that is my hair after shampooing. Most volumizing conditioners and shampoos are extremely stripping for some reason- I would have to say this conditioner is actually pretty moisturizing for being marketed as a volume conditioner. It's only okay in terms of slip and detangling though in regards to other conditioners and I don't really feel it gives enough moisture and slip for my needs. Smells really nice, the ingredients are great, but I have to use a lot of it to be able to detangle. I really don't feel there's a whole lot of bang for your buck here.
If you want volume and hair that isn't weighed down, trying this conditioner may be useful to you, but using other conditioners from midshaft down on my hair gives the same, if not better results (because at least I can still detangle and get the moisturizing benefits that comes with wanting to conditioner your hair and not just use shampoo) than this conditioner. Volume will be best achieved with your styling products and the way you manipulate your hair AFTER you get out of the shower vs using this conditioner.

Region 1: EPA New England
Ground-level Ozone (Smog) Information
Ground-level ozone presents a serious air quality problem in New England. In 2008, EPA revised the ozone standard to a level of 0.075 parts per million, 8-hour average. Over the last 5 years (2007 through 2011), there have been an average of 28 days per summer when New England's air exceeded this standard.
Ground-level ozone is formed by a chemical reaction between VOCs and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the presence of sunlight. Ozone concentrations can reach unhealthful levels when the weather is hot and sunny with little or no wind. View ozone concentrations and corresponding weather conditions for a day in 1998 when high ozone concentrations were measured across Southern New England. In New England, high ozone levels usually occur between 1:00 and 7:00 pm from May through September.
Visit EPA-New England's Air Quality Index page to get real-time and forecasted air pollution data in an understandable visual format. This information is provided so the public can take action to protect their health, and reduce pollution.

Park CT-3 Screw Type Chain Tool
Made from investment cast tool steel. The CT-3 features a handy "loosening shelf" to remedy stiff links after reassembly. The fine thread and comfortable size enable easy removal of even the toughest chain rivets. Like all Park Tool Chain Tools, it's easy to use and built to last, and has a replaceable driving pin. Works great on derailleur chain, even 9 and 10-speed chains.
I have used this tool on a couple of different speed chains and leaded it to a couple of friends with out any issues. The only reason I gave it four stars was because of the price.
Every time I've used this tool, I've broken the pin that is supposed to pop through the chain pin when you tighten it. I've taken it back to the bike shop and had them replace the pin in the tool 6 times. Each time, I've asked detailed questions to be sure that I'm using the tool the right way. I'm done with this tool. I threw it out and I'm going to use my heavy Topeak multi tool with an allen wrench. At least it doesn't break.
So Smooth and easy to use. Does a great job even on old rusty chains.

It's obvious that you love your instrument. You spent a lot of time checking out the different options to find the one that just "clicked" with your playing style and attitude, and now you're ready to rock. Or are you? See, it takes more than just a great instrument to hit the stage and change the world of popular music forever; you're also going to need some accessories. And regardless of which accessories you need, the odds are that you will be able to find them in this section.
Ask any musician and they will tell you they're only as good as their accessories. That's because great accessories can keep your instrument safe, and also enhance it when you're on the stage, in the studio, or just jamming at home.
So which accessories are right for you? Well, obviously that comes down to need and personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer, and there are literally thousands of options available here. For example, are you looking for a case to store your guitar? Then you may want to check out the Deluxe Electric Guitar Case from Musician's Gear or the Les Paul Hardshell Case from Epiphone. Maybe you'd rather a stand than a case? Then have a look at the GS525B Five-Instrument Guitar Rack from Hercules Stands or the Tubular Guitar Stand from Musician's Gear. Any of these stands and cases would be a worthy addition to any guitar player's collection.
Of course, we also carry cables for microphones, speakers, guitars, basses, and just about anything else that requires one. We have tuners such as the SN-1 Guitar & Bass Tuner from Snark and the DT-10 Digital Pedal Tuner from Korg. You'll even find desks for the recording studio and music stands for the orchestra in this section. Accessories are absolutely integral items for any musician. Take a look around, find the perfect items for you, and watch as your skills truly begin to flourish.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

|Two Charged in 2 Robberies, Assaults
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 10 April 2013 15:02
Late yesterday afternoon, Boone Police reported the arrest of two suspects in a pair of Tuesday night incidents in which residents of two apartments were assaulted and robbed. Just after issuing a bulletin on the two, Boone Police reported the arrests of D'Ray Vannoy Hall, 22, and 21-year old
Christopher Alexander Webster, charging each with First Degree Burglary, Attempted Common Law Robbery, and Common Law Robbery, and Simple Assault. It was just before 9:15 Tuesday night that Boone Police received reports that two black males had broken into two apartments at separate locations near campus--a Hill Street location, then a second break-in occurring at approximately 10 minutes later on Meadowview Drive. The two suspects were described as black males wearing white masks, one of them wearing a black hoodie. The bulletin issued just before the arrests were reported said that Hall and Webster might be operating a silver 2003 Audi A4 Quattro or a green 2004 Land Rover Discovery.

GOUVERNEUR The St. Lawrence County Maple School on Saturday at Gouverneur High School will offer something for all producers, including the Amish.
There are quite a few Amish producers. I often get a lot of questions from them, said C. Douglas Thompson, president of the county Maple Producers Association. Gouverneur is a relatively easy buggy driving distance for a lot of Amish. If we can serve that section of the population, good.
The all-day school will offer classes for hobby tappers as well as larger producers. There will be activities for children.
The event, which begins with registration at 8:30 a.m., will include a bulletin board for producers to advertise equipment they want to sell or trade.
The cost is $15 for adults and $5 for anyone under age 21. Admission to the event sponsored by Gouverneur FFA, Cooperative Extension and the maple association includes lunch and refreshments.
Class topics include backyard sugaring, value-added products, use of global positioning systems in the sugarbush, a woodlot safety course that will focus more on general practices about cutting trees and less on chain saws, getting the most out of a wood-fired evaporator and of the type of wood used, woodlot management, quality control and product improvement, the care of reverse osmosis machines and effects of stressors, such as last summers drought, on maple trees.
Cornell University maple specialist Stephen Childs will give an update on industry trends, and the owners of Orebed Sugar Shack, DeKalb Junction, will have a Jenness family presentation on marketing.
For children, there will be a session on owls, during which participants may dissect owl pellets.
