POTSDAM A murdered boy deserves justice, and as nearly 400 blue and orange balloons drifted into a darkening Potsdam sky Thursday, family and friends of Garrett J. Phillips delivered that message.
Its been two years since the 12-year-old Potsdam boy was killed. There has been no arrest.
On Thursday night, members of his family and community gathered at Garrett Phillips Student Memorial Park at Potsdam Central School to remember Garrett and celebrate his life.
Standing beside the monument in Garretts memory, his uncle Brian A. Phillips addressed the friends and relatives who gathered.
One thing I would like to stress is that we cant stay quiet. This boy needs justice, Mr. Phillips said. We need to stay loud for that one thing.
Mr. Phillips said every day has been a struggle since the murder of his nephew; however, the family remains optimistic that justice will prevail.
Im very optimistic that an arrest will be made down the road, Mr. Phillips said. The case is being worked on daily. This is not a cold case.
Both Mr. Phillips and Garretts mother, Tandy L. Cyrus, said the feeling of support that came over them from the turnout at the balloon release just shows that they live in a community that is not unlike a large family.
Ms. Cyrus, who stood quietly in the crowd while her brother-in-law addressed it, wiped tears from her eyes afterward as she talked about the time that has passed since her sons murder.
Every day feels like day one all over again, Ms. Cyrus said about getting up some mornings. Everybody here, remembering who he was, what a happy kid he was, is great. He would do anything for anybody and he loved his family and friends.
After two years, she said, it can be frustrating not seeing someone charged for the murder; however, she agreed with Mr. Phillips and said she believes justice will be served.
Garrett was found unconscious on Oct. 24, 2011, at North Country Manor Apartments, 100 Market St., after neighbors heard screams and cries for help. He was pronounced dead that evening at Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
Potsdam Police Chief Kevin M. Bates said he was unable to comment on the investigation into Garretts murder except to say it is an ongoing investigation.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve said, in a phone interview, that her office keeps in regular contact with the many law enforcement agencies working on the case along with the Potsdam police.
There are a lot of people in law enforcement involved and they are working on this diligently, Ms. Duve said. It is very much on everybodys radar.
Sometimes evidence has not been found, requiring a longer investigation, but it doesnt mean people stop looking, she said.
If there was sufficient evidence at this point, someone would be charged, she said.
Ms. Duve, a resident of Potsdam, said she gets questioned about the case by members of that community, even in her own home by her daughter, who is friends with members of Garretts family.
My youngest is most deeply affected, and I do my best to assure her that the police are working very hard on it, Ms. Duve said. She has been exposed to what they are going through, so it has affected her, as well.
Standing in the crowd of those remembering Garrett, Tessa M. Fields said her daughter, Alexa E., 14, was very close with a lot of Garretts friends.
She is a strong supporter of the Justice for Garrett campaign. Her walls are covered with pictures and memories from all the events, Mrs. Fields said. She wears many of his T-shirts proudly. It fills these kids with a daily sadness and with there being no justice, they are very confused.
Ms. Fields said while the story is a sad one, the love and light that were shown by those who turned out make her believe there will be justice soon.
I hope with all my heart this family and the community get the closure they deserve, Mrs. Fields said.
The money raised from the sale of the balloons will go toward the Potsdam Mentoring Program, of which Garrett was a part.
Program Coordinator Lynn M. Tharrett said the program operates with the ideology that when students make a lasting connection with at least one caring adult, academic and personal outcomes improve.
Garretts grandmother Patricia J. Phillips said her grandson benefited greatly from the program, of which he was a part in fifth grade.
It does a lot for the school and students, Mrs. Phillips said. If I can do something every year to help the program, I will, in memory of him.
Mrs. Phillips said that she understands the investigation into her grandsons murder takes some time and that Ms. Duve was doing a fine job; however, it hasnt made the pain of his death any easier.
Two years is killing us, and every day we think of him, Mrs. Phillips said.

The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal (P.S.)by Lily Koppel
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Rescued from a Dumpster on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a discarded diary brings to life the glamorous, forgotten world of an extraordinary young woman.
For more than half a century, the red leather diary lay silent, languishing inside a steamer trunk, its worn cover crumbling into little flakes. When a cleaning sweep of a New York City apartment building brings this lost treasure to light, both the diary and its owner are given a second life.
Recovered by Lily Koppel, a young writer working at the New York Times, the journal paints a vivid picture of 1930s New York--horseback riding in Central Park, summer excursions to the Catskills, and an obsession with a famous avant-garde actress. From 1929 to 1934, not a single day's entry is skipped.
Opening the tarnished brass lock, Koppel embarks on a journey into the past, traveling to a New York in which women of privilege meet for tea at Schrafft's, dance at the Hotel Pennsylvania, and toast the night at El Morocco. As she turns the diary's brittle pages, Koppel is captivated by the headstrong young woman whose intimate thoughts and emotions fill the pale blue lines. Who was this lovely ingenue who adored the works of Baudelaire and Jane Austen, who was sexually curious beyond her years, who traveled to Rome, Paris, and London?
Compelled by the hopes and heartaches captured in the pages, Koppel sets out to find the diary's owner, her only clue the inscription on the frontispiece--This book belongs to . . . Florence Wolfson, A chance phone call from a private investigator leads Koppel to Florence, a ninety-year-old woman living with her husband of sixty-seven years. Reunited with her diary, Florence venturesback to the girl she once was, rediscovering a lost self that burned with artistic fervor.
Joining intimate interviews with original diary entries, Koppel reveals the world of a New York teenager obsessed with the state of her soul and her appearance, and muses on the serendipitous chain of events that returned the lost journal to its owner. Evocative and entrancing, The Red Leather Diary re-creates the romance and glitter, sophistication and promise, of 1930s New York, bringing to life the true story of a precocious young woman who dared to follow her dreams.
For more than half a century, the red leather diary languished inside a steamer trunk. Rescued from a Dumpster on Manhattan's Upper West Side, it found its way to Lily Koppel, a young writer, who opened its tarnished brass lock and journeyed into an enthralling past. The diary painted a breathtaking portrait of a bygone New York—of glamorous nights at El Morocco and elegant teas at Schrafft's during the 1920s and '30s—and of the headstrong, endearing teenager who filled its pages with her hopes, heartaches, and vivid recollections. Intrigued, Koppel followed her only clue, a frontispiece inscription, to its now ninety-year-old owner, Florence Wolfson, and was enchanted as Florence, reunited with her diary, rediscovered a lost younger self burning with artistic fervor.
Joining intimate interviews with original diary entries, The Red Leather Diary re-creates the romance and promise of a remarkable era and brings to life the true story of a daring, precocious young dreamer.

MASSENA - When Mary Rain wanted to bring her accountability tour to Massena, she said it didnt take her long to figure out where she would speak to supporters.
I picked 16 Haskell Street because this is ground zero for the drug empire in Massena, she said, referring to the former home of Patrick R. Lloyd, the former New York City man under federal indictment for being part of an operation that brought cocaine and heroin from the city to sell on the streets of Massena.
She used the home - no longer tied to the drug trade - as a backdrop as she discussed her plan to improve the district attorneys office in front of a small group of supporters that included Massena Republican Party Chair Charlie Romigh and Mayor James F. Hidy.
While Mr. Lloyd may now be behind bars, Ms. Rain said thats not thanks to the incumbent prosecutor, Nicole Duve.
My opponent did very little, Ms. Rain said. The chief of police (Timmy J. Currier) wrote a letter to the editor pleading for change, and to take the drugs off the streets.
Ms. Rain then said when the district attorney in Franklin County heard of a similar situation there, he jumped to action and immediately helped them out.
My opponent did very little, she said. My opponents response was, I dont think things are going to get any better. With my opponent in office, I agree.
Ms. Rain then outlined her three-step plan to improve the districts attorneys office, reiterating she would fast track felony cases, improve technology in the district attorneys office and improve interagency communication.
While Mr. Lloyd recently pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping charges and is facing an eight-year sentence in state prison, Ms. Rain said that will be superseded by the federal charges currently pending against him - charges that Ms. Rain said came as a result of Ms. Duves lack of action.
The fact is the federal government had to come in and do her job, Ms. Rain said.
Mr. Lloyd is facing a minimum prison term of 10 years if convicted on those charges.
Ms. Rain said he could have gotten up to 15 years on the attempted kidnapping charges and even quoted Mr. Lloyds attorney as saying anything less than 10 years was a victory for him.
In response, Ms. Duve said that Lloyd and Miranda Green, his codefendant in the case, pleaded guilty to the most serious charge on the indictment.
The sentence that was imposed was imposed with the full knowledge of the victim and the victims family, as well as the Massena police department, she said.
As for the length of time it took for Mr. Lloyd to be held in jail without bail, Ms. Duve said that bail isnt meant as a punishment.
Referring to his initial arrest on the unlawful imprisonment and third-degree assault charges, Ms. Duve said, That was the first time Patrick Lloyd had been arrested in St. Lawrence County. He wasnt necessarily known in my office. We didnt have any files on him.
Mr. Duve then said that the events that would unfold in Massena over the next several weeks that included Green and Mr. Lloyd being rearrested gave people the opportunity to stir the pot. It made people more scared than they needed to be, she said.
Ms. Rain was also asked about another high profile case this year, the case pending against Bobbie Jo Zeller, who allegedly scammed a priest and members of his parish out of more than $300,000.
St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome J. Richards recently dismissed three forgery charges against Zeller following a review of the grand jury presentment.
Ms. Duve pointed out that Zeller was still facing several charges and that the dismissed count could be reintroduced.
But Ms. Rain suggested the ruling underscored the problems in Ms. Duves office.Grand jury is 100 percent to the district attorneys control. Having three charges dropped is a lot, Ms. Rain said. If you look at other district attorneys offices, youll see that having charges dismissed in grand jury is a rarity. In this office it is not.
Ms. Duve said grand jury dismissals are more common across the regions than Ms. Rain is leading her supporters to believe and arent happening in St. Lawrence County any more often than they are anywhere else.
When you look at the thousands of thousands of cases that come across my office on a yearly basis that is a fraction of a percent, she said.
Ms. Rain also said should she be elected she wouldnt be in such a rush to plea bargain felony cases.
If I have a solid case, theres not going to be a plea bargain, she said. Youll plea to the top count.
Ms. Duve said that plea bargains are an important part of the criminal justice system, noting avoiding them is impossible.
It would crumble the criminal justice system. Not all cases are alike, not all defendants are similarly situated, not all evidence and witnesses are always reliable and strong, and you have to make an assessment on each case, she said.
Making such a blanket statement ignores the solemn duty of any district attorney to see that justice is reached, because the job is just as much about protecting the defendants rights and preventing an innocent person from being wrongly convicted or accused, it is about protecting victims and holding people accountable. This job isnt about ruling with an iron fist, its about being fair.
At the close of Ms. Rains presentation, Mr. Hidy then offered her his endorsement, noting his first interactions with Ms. Duve resulted in her blaming the village police department for failing to provide her office with necessary to move forward with the prosecution of a rape case with a 14-year-old victim.
His (Mr. Curriers) agency did indeed present the paperwork, he said. The paperwork was mistakenly misplaced in her office, Mr. Hidy charged.
The public safety of not only Massena, but the entire county, is not a Republican or Democrat issue, the mayor said, charging Ms. Duves actions as district attorney have jeopardized the safety of everyone.
Im hoping with Mary running it is giving people a better choice.

This holiday season, we at the Drafthouse love to celebrate everyone's annual film favorites, the kind of movies that play on endless heartwarming loops from December 1st until New Year's Day. For some, the choice of the season is to relive Kevin McCallister's playful booby trapping against bumbling burglars in HOME ALONE. For others, they sing the deeply foreboding and memorable refrain of "you'll shoot your eye out, kid" along with A CHRISTMAS STORY. An entirely other group of celebratory cinephiles, ourselves included among them, tend to prefer a highly deadly holiday treat: Ted Kotcheff's genre-defining FIRST BLOOD (1982), the only Christmas movie out there today that truly wears its beating heart on its blood-stained sleeve.
In honor of the film's 30th anniversary, we present a special holiday engagement of this free-wheelin', gun-totin', law-fightin' post-ROCKY masterpiece. Sylvester Stallone plays Vietnam veteran and occupational vagabond John Rambo, just returned from war. Without a house or home to call his own, he wanders the streets until arriving at a seemingly unassuming, small logging town. Although the sign at the town entrance reads: "Welcome to Hope," there is none to be found in the city limits, only misery and mistreatment from the local law enforcement. When they push Rambo out of town without realizing the consequence of their actions, he comes back with a signature, no-holds-barred brand of retribution. FIRST BLOOD is a brutal critique of America's participation in Vietnam and an all-around action classic. (Sam Prime)
Everyone in the audience for both screenings will receive an exclusive John Rambo-style knife, included in the $10 ticket price. Also, this event is BYOB: bring your own bandana!!!

Chicago was hopping yesterday. The Cubs, Blackhawks, and Just Born's Peepster mobile were all in town.
Terese McDonald, the lovely and fun owner of Candyality, gave me a heads up that the Peepster and the Cub's star pitcher, Ryan Dempster, would both be at her Wrigleyville candy shop. (Click here to track the Peepster's next stops.)
What a great day! As if on cue, the Peepster, with its big yellow Peep perched on its roof, pulled up to Candyality right after we parked the Gillerlain Mobile. The Peeps crew immediately started handing out Just Born's new Peepster chocolates (thumbs up) and hats to a happy crowd.
My not-so-shy son walked up to "Peeps" the mascot, and asked the yellow fellow what he ate for dinner. I was curious to hear the response, but Peeps' handler kindly told my son that Peeps didn't make a peep. (If Peeps could talk, I bet he would have said blue Peeps.)
Shortly after, Ryan Dempster arrived in a cab straight from his game against the Pirates and signed mini bins filled with red, white, and blue "Cubbie Gummi Bears." Sales of the candies benefited the Ryan and Jenny Dempster Family Foundation, which is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting families affected by 22q11.2—a chromosomal disorder that Ryan and his wife Jenny's daughter Riley was born with. (Riley came to the shop, too, and is adorable.)
After we got a chance to meet Ryan (really nice guy), my not-so-shy son was back at it with the questions. He asked the Cubbie which team gives him the biggest pitching challenge. Without any hesitation, Ryan replied, "the Atlanta Braves."
With that, we wondered up the street to grab pizza at D'Agostino's, the local restaurant that just landed the pizza contract at Wrigley Field (love that!), and popped back into the Gillerlain Mobile to head home.
Great day! Thank you Terese, Ryan, and Peeps road crew.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Just shy of 100 area marksmen came together on April 20 at the Helper Gun Club to celebrate and shoot at the 26th Annual Coal Country Traveling Trophy Shoot.
The competition consists of five men teams shooting 101 non-registered targets with the highest team score winning the traveling trophy. The team prize is then displayed within the sponsoring business for a year. This year's event brought 23 teams to the Gun Club with each shooter having an opportunity to knock down 25 single, 25 handicap, 25 international and 26 double targets.
The 2013 Team Trophy went to the Deer Creek Mine's I Team. Craig Brotherson, Dereck Brotherson, Terry Howell, Randy McManus and Doug Luke scored 427 points out of a possible 505.
Individual "High Gun" went to Scott Thayn with a score of 91 points out of a possible 105.

(Editors note: In reaction to several questions and calls about the article on the presentation that Mike Swensen from the USA-ALL organization did on June 20 at the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon, the Sun Advocate has decided to run three articles discussing the issues related to House Bill 148, which asks the federal government to turn over certain lands to the state of Utah. This is the second in the series).
The old saying goes that there is opposition in all things.
And in the case of the State of Utah's move to get the federal government to turn over much of the land it presently owns within the boundaries of the state to the state, there is quite a bit.
Some of it comes from statewide groups, particularly environmentalists. Some comes from political opposition to what the Republican state dominated government does. Much of it comes from other places in the country, particularly in the east where federal land is not an issue. I is where people don't know much about the vast stretches desert and mountains that occur in the Beehive State.
That very situation, those with lots of federal land in their state and those without, well could be one of the dividing lines between whether House Bill 148 will be used as an instrument to bring many federal lands within Utah under state control.
While many groups oppose the state of Utah getting and controlling what goes on should the land be transferred, there is not much opposition stronger to the bill that that of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and the Grand Canyon Trust.
As the bill was going through the legislature SUWA voiced its opposition to it. After the bill was signed by Governor Gary Herbert in March of 2012 the opposition became louder and has been strong ever since.
"This bill is almost certainly unconstitutional, is bad public policy and won't help fund Utah's schools," claims an article about the move on SUWA's website.
One of the things Utah legislators and supporters say is that the reason Utah's schools are in such bad straights in terms of funding is because the land that the federal government owns really renders no revenue for the state. One of their contentions is that other states, particularly those east of Colorado, have a lot more land in private hands that can be taxed or used for development. They say this provides a better basis for funding public schools.
But SUWA officially points out that many states that have less private land per capita consistently provide much more than Utah does with its higher number of taxed properties.
Another point they make is that the states attitude toward wild lands is much more casual than that of the federal government. The state government has generally opposed moves by Washington to create more protected land, such as wilderness or national monuments. Their feeling is that what they consider sensitive areas that are already protected such as the Grand-Escalante National Monument, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and all the wildlife refuges in the state would suddenly be up for review and opened up to types of activities that could endanger those resources. They don't feel the state has a good record in preserving wild lands.
They also are concerned about what lands might be sold off if HB 148 were to effect a change. Would cherry picking of prime lands go on because the state could get more money out of those areas? And what about the rest of the lands that did remain in state control? How much of that land would be opened up to energy and mineral development, as well as use for all kinds of recreation without much restriction.
SUWA in particular points out that the move would be bad public policy. Areas turned over to the state would include most of the national forests and other areas. Military reservations and national parks would be excluted. They claim the Utah State Legislature has chronically underfunded their own parks and forests in the past. What would it be like if they ran all of them?
There are those of various political persuasions that also dislike the idea of the state taking over most of the land the federal government now controls. Some of these groups and people are aligned with environmental groups, others not so much.
Utah is a very pro-business state, which some see as a detriment to the society in the state. They feel the more control the state government has over things, the less the average citizen will have to say about it. They feel a national view is needed to protect the resources from exploitation.
Secondly, many question statements by many HB 148 backers concerning who can be trusted with the power to administer the land. One of the main lines of support for the bill is that the control of the land will be much closer to home. But some of those in the state oppose the turnover of the land for that very reason. They ask if one can trust state government any more than they can trust Washington? They say that the state has not been very good stewards of many lands in the state, because self interest governs more than the public good does.
Some of those in opposition add that few Utahns feel any better about what the legislature does than they do about what Congress does. Would things be worse with a legislature that often seems to run on message bills and high octane conservatism?
Finally, they point out that that same legislature has often produced members who benefit from their actions in the legislature long after they leave the body. There is a lot of mistrust in the fact that in the past some bills that were introduced by sponsors, a few years later enriched those very people. HB 148 allows for the following of the Enabling Act which says that 95 percent of the proceeds from any land sold by the state after it is turned over goes to the federal government. Five percent would go to the state, and that money would be involved in supporting education. But no bill can tell the state who it can and can't sell the land to. Who would personally gain from the sale of this land once it was in private hands? These groups and individuals point to the fact that developers have some very strong ties to the legislature.
Despite claims by proponents that the state could better manage the land, that local governments would be more in control exercising the will of the people, suspicion about the individual interests of those who are involved in this movement persist.
This is the question that has been raised the most about HB 148. Would it be deemed legal if a battle were fought in court. As everyone knows possession is 90 percent of the law in many cases and the opposition to the move say that all Washington has to do is pull out the deeds to the land that are free and clear of state ownership.
The argument that many opponents make is that the legislatures own legal counsel has deemed the bill unconstitutional. Yet the Utah State Attorney Generals office does not believe it is. The differences in opinion between lawyers on legality of many things is as common as any different point-of-view in life. What lawyers claim is one thing; what the courts say may be another.
Each side says that the Enabling Act backs their views of the bill of whether the bill is constitutional or not.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff writer
Kevin Hansen occupied center stage at last week's commission meeting when the local resident approached Carbon lawmakers carrying a bucket filled with chunks of concrete.
"I was using the main arena at the fairgrounds yesterday and I found these in the soil there," explained Hansen as he passed the container around the commission chambers. "I want to remain positive about this whole thing, but I am concerned about the fairgrounds, it's use and what it is really for."
Hansen, who visits the facility on a frequent basis during the summer, indicated that the arena is often so hard it is almost unusable. He also questioned the practice of keeping the horse stalls locked.
"If this is for public use, how come it is locked up?" asked Hansen.
Commissioner Tom Matthews, who has been over the fairgrounds for a number of years, addressed the situation and defended employees who work at the fairgrounds.
"I know that our crew out there would not drive over that concrete on the tractor if the workers saw it," stressed Matthews. "They would toss it out of the arena. I think they just didn't see it."
With numerous activities taking place at the fairgrounds, Matthews pointed out that the crews do not always have the time to maintain the facilities the way they would like, including grooming the arena.
"We have 200 horse stalls there," continued Matthews. "We used to leave them unlocked so people could use them. But they wouldn't clean them after. Soon, we had people moving from one stall to another instead of cleaning the ones they used. It became a real problem."
Hansen also brought up several things he had observed such as asphalt piled on the ground as well as scrap iron and old tires piled by the outdoor arena.
"I just feel there needs to be a direction," said Hansen. "What is the facility for? Maybe we need to stand back from the situation. I want to remain positive and understand what is going on, but stuff like these chunks of concrete are like land mines out in the arena. I just think these things are clean up issues and safety issues."
Some of the areas at the fairgrounds looked really good, particularly the lawn in the park, added Hansen.
Commissioner Bill Krompel indicated that the fairgrounds, while essentially equestrian in nature, is a multiple use facility . He also commented about the amount of asphalt that is being put in and suggested that was not good for horses.
"That is an area where we play to put in playground equipment," stated Krompel. "We have a lot of activities and facilities out there. The arena is used for many kinds of things. There are the motocross track, the miniature airport, the new exhibition building. The asphalt is an important part of the development of the facility."
The commissioners recently divided the duties at the fairgrounds and the lawmakers have assume individual responsibilities at the facility.
The lawmakers said the county commission would look into the safety and maintenance concerns raised by Hansen.
In an unrelated item on the meeting's agenda, the county commissioners were introduced by Kathy Smith to the new Castle Country Travel Region coordinator to the Energy Loop Scenic Byway, Joan Taylor.
Taylor told the commission that her goal as coordinator will be to increase visitation by tourists on the byway and to see that the signage that is being installed on the road is completed.
Acting on another county business matter, the lawmakers reiterated county government's stand on any construction in the Beaver Creek area slightly west of U.S. Highway 6 near Colton.
"We have said it before and I think we need to say it again - until the land owners there get together and contribute land to an easement through some kind of association, we are not going to allow building in the area." emphasized Commissioner Mike Milovich.
"There needs to be at least some kind of restricted access to the area and guaranteed access for those with property in the area," stressed Milovich.
Krompel agreed, pointing out that the key words regarding the area were "perpetual access."
County building official Dave Levanger advised the commissioners that all the landowners in the affected area had been sent letters outlining Carbon government's position on access.
However, Levanger said the building department had yet to hear from the majority of the individual land owners in question.
In other actions taken during last week's regularly scheduled public meeting:
The commissioners agreed to allow the Huber Company to relocate a gas well originally planned for one site to a different area.
"The well is still on the Jensen property, but we want to move it 657 feet north of where we originally intended to put it," explained Bryan Wood, acting as the spokesman for Huber.
Ben Clement from the county's geographical information systems approached the commission about applying for grant money.
The grant revenues would help in the department's quest to map all roads and all parcels of land in the county with a geographical positioning system.
"They have released $600,000 in grant money and I think we can apply for about $20,000 of that and get it," Clement advised the lawmakers.
The grant has strings attached, but the requirements are not anything the county is not already doing, added Clements. The strings include matching a portion of the funds, changing the way some of the GIS money is reported and verifying surface ownership of land in the county.
"We have about 7,500 parcels of land in the county on a digitized data base, largely because of the water districts needs," noted Clement. "Now I have about 5000 left to do, many of them government owned. Actually, we were fortunate this money has showed up; it's just in time to do this."
The commission authorized Clement to apply for the grant.
Krompel reported that the United States Federal Aviation Administration has allocated monies to pay for more improvements at the airport.
"The project will cost about $3 million, of which they will pay a large part and the state will pay much of the rest," explained Krompel. "We will be on the hook for 5 percent of the final $1.1 million ourselves."
The commission approved the project.
Matthews brought up the condition of the road in Nine Mile Canyon once again.
"I had another call over the weekend about how bad that road is," pointed out Matthews. "What are we going to do?"
Krompel indicated that he met with 30 to 40 interested parties for two hours about the situation a couple of weeks ago.
"Part of the problem is that there has been no water with which to grade the road so the road department hasn't been able to do much with it," said Krompel. "But after the thundershowers the other day, Ray (Hanson, road shop foreman) sent up some people to work on it. We are working with Duchesne County on some long- and short-term solutions to the problems."
Matthews also brought up the problem of reporting accidents by county employees or on county property.
"In the past, accidents that occurred were often reported to various people instead of one," stated Matthews. "The way it has been done often gives us no protection. For instance, there was an accident that happened on county property last year and no one knew about it until later, when they were in the hospital. Some get reported, some don't. We open ourselves up for discrimination by not having a set way of doing this."
According to Carbon government's insurance company, any accident that results in injury, death or in excess of $100 in damage is supposed to be reported, indicated the county's safety officer, Dennis Dooley.
After a discussion about employees who frequently have accidents or damage county property and how to keep records on the related problems, the commission decided to look into setting up a task force to develop with a consistent policy on accident reporting and investigation.

PC Registry Cleaners In 2015
Computer protection is getting more advanced every year. Finding the most coveted registry cleaners for 2015 is where you should start. If you look around, free copies of registry cleaners do exist but it is not recommended to use them.
Many people that have done this have had major computer problems as a result so it is in your best interest to stay away from these free programs. There are expensive versions of the software, but you don't need those to fix your computer. Set aside a small amount of money for this registry cleaner in your weekly budget. The most important concern is you find a registry cleaner you like and will be happy with.
Like a lot of the rest of the popular registry cleaners that are out there, Registry Reviver is pretty basic to use and should be easy for the average user to employ. This is a really great program for someone who appreciates presets and a wide array of customization features.
Lots of different scenarios in this program allow for customization of what you want to do and how you want your registry cleaner to operate. A very curious as well as helpful element of this program's design is that it seems to be built for full automation. If you set it up for this feature, the Registry Reviver will start up, run a scan, clean your registry and then close all on its own.
One of the more high-end registry cleaners that is available in 2015 is the PC Registry Cleaner and it has a handful of more advanced capabilities. Just one example of what this program will do is sort of learn from your computer. Once you have employed the PC Registry Cleaner it doesn't just remember what it did before on previous scans, it remembers how well your computer performs.
This means that the registry cleaner will know just how quickly the variety of internal processes perform on your computer and then put real effort into working to maintain those levels. We understand that this is a pretty cool function and it just illustrates how far these registry cleaner programs have evolved.
A popular registry cleaner called RegCure has been used by thousands successfully for many years. Many people prefer having a simple registry cleaner, not one that will do 100 other things at once. The reason this application is popular with some is the ease of use. Each time you start the program, you are walked through all the steps to run the cleaner.
This program can do its job quickly because it is not bogged down by all of the other things that most other registry programs have. To get started, simply do a basic scan to start the process. Anyone that wants to use a registry cleaner that does the job quickly without much thought on the part of the user, RegCure will work for them. Online reviews will provide you with the information you need to purchase one of the best registry cleaners of 2015.
You can use our article as reference material as well. The best approach here is to know or have an idea of what you want. Take into consideration how much you have to spend and the features that you are looking for before you buy any registry cleaner. Stay away from registry cleaners that may have too many features for you to handle.

POINT BLANK LATEST: Named National Hockey Writer for Fanhouse; Still hope to find place for PB
With change comes opportunity. Beginning next week, I'm joining AOL as national hockey writer for NHL Fanhouse. I'm very excited to be taking my act on the road and to have no boundaries in the beautiful game of hockey. Based out of New York, my assignments will include features, columns, opinion pieces, podcasts and live coverage. AOL has given me a tremendous opportunity and I plan on running with it.
My goal to find a full-time home for Point Blank remains. Time is running out on my personal deadline of Labor Day weekend, but possibilities exist. If the posts slow down over the next week, please know it's because I'm working on my first Fanhouse pieces and attempting to finalize a deal to keep Point Blank alive and thriving.
Can I do both? Absolutely. Do I want to do both? Absolutely. In this business and in this economy, sports writers and bloggers have multiple affiliations. If I'm fortunate enough to have two, that's nothing. Look around. One of my new colleagues at Fanhouse has five sites listed under his email signature. My editors at AOL support my wish to continue Point Blank and I'm very grateful for that.
Everything I may accomplish in this end of the business going forward is a result of the off-the-charts support I received from Islanders fans during the first year of this blog. Everything.
Even my invite to the AOL offices in Virginia was because of a reader – a transplanted Long Islander, a business executive at AOL who asked me if it was okay if he told some of the editors about my work. The kindness of strangers is astounding. Thank you to all of the PB readers, and also to the Islanders for the chance to start a writing career.
Four people in my life know about the Fanhouse gig as I post this. (I need to call my mom now). There's a strong likelihood you'll see my byline attached to stories on some of your least favorite teams in the next few weeks, so I wanted to give your hearts fair warning. Hopefully, you'll recall the dozens of positive Islanders stories I wrote despite their record last season and not hold a grudge against me.
As soon as I have news one way or the other about Point Blank, you will be next to know. I'd really like to continue covering the Islanders, and I'm still hopeful. Thank you.

It's a Bird, a Plane ... an SOW?
Statement of work is the buzz word in today's CW world. But there is a lot of ambiguity about what SOW really is. From my discussions with contingent workforce managers and industry insiders, it's become clear to me that defining the space and knowing what type of work should be classified as true statement of work and what should not is their biggest challenge.
The bottom line is many people are confused about what SOW is delivering and when it's appropriate to use it. I hear from the staffing agency grapevine that many companies are filling out a statement of work for every single contractor coming on board. Everything from a basic help desk analyst all the way up to a high-level independent contractor is treated as a SOW at some companies. People think this is a way of mitigating the co-employment risk. It's not. Further, in many cases, filling out a SOW form is not even required.
Some people believe that success in this space requires someone to own it and become the expert. Of course, that's not as simple as it sounds. "I think companies need a combination of an in-house person and an outside provider, a sort of hybrid ownership," says Andrew Zarkadas, VP of business development at the Guidant Group, a provider of contract staffing and workforce solutions.
To begin with CW managers need to educate themselves, to arm themselves with information. One way they can do this is to connect with the right third party SOW vendor to help manage the process. The CW manager then will develop policies and processes around SOW workflow keeping in mind company culture, business rules as well as threshold for risk.
Developing a collaborative relationship — with both sides handling some aspect of SOW consultants — is the best bet. "I don't think you're ever going to see full ownership of those SOW consultants going to an outsource provider. I think much of it is going to be owned internally. That outsource provider is going to provide the visibility, reporting tools and workflow around administrative process," Zarkadas says.
The outsourced provider handles the day-to-day administration of these SOW consultants. These vendors bring experience, thought leadership and best practices to the table. After all, they have the advantage of managing SOWs day in and out across numerous industries,
But the customer has responsibilities, too. Among them is letting the providers do their job. At the same time, the SOW space is evolving daily, so CW managers need to be sure to keep up with trends and stay informed. You might have an SOW program that already works, but don't rest on your laurels. Keep in touch with what's going on with your peers. There's always room for improvement.

FCC vote on white spaces lays promising foundation for "Wi-Fi on steroids"
This morning the Federal Communications Commission adopted final technical rules related to white spaces – the empty airwaves between broadcast TV channels – that we believe will pave the way for "Wi-Fi on steroids."
For several years now, the tech industry, the public interest community, and entrepreneurs have been clamoring for the green light to begin innovating and building new products for these airwaves on an unlicensed basis. Today's order finally sets the stage for the next generation of wireless technologies to emerge, and is an important victory for Internet users across the country.
Chairman Genachowski and his fellow Commissioners deserve ample credit for adopting rules that ultimately will put better and faster wireless broadband connections in the hands of the public. We're glad to see that the FCC appears to have rejected calls to enact burdensome and unnecessary constraints that would have made it more difficult to deploy useful technologies on these airwaves. Instead, the Commission has put forward common-sense rules that will help encourage innovation, while fully safeguarding incumbent signals from interference.
What's next on TV white spaces? We're hopeful the FCC soon will name one or more administrators of the geolocation database, and establish the ground rules for its operation. Once the database is up and running, new white spaces devices and tools can begin to roll out to consumers.
Nonetheless, this important step should be viewed as the beginning, and not the end, of crafting forward-looking spectrum policy for our country. From creating a comprehensive spectrum inventory, to investigating incentive auctions for TV broadcast spectrum, to revisiting the efficacy of spectrum sensing technologies, these are exciting times for folks to get involved in developing more efficient and effective policies to govern our nation's airwaves.

Wouldn't be surprised if Google buys Spectrum Bridge for their geolocation database & gets the admin role.ReplyDelete
Then combine White Spaces broadband with Google's thousands of miles of dark fiber & could provide the entire United States with Wi-Fi...for free.
I've been asking everywhere for years, can this White Spaces network be setup like FON.com, where before we start building it out, we make sure that most of all these new access points comply with one same authentication system, compatible with OpenID and any of the other authentication systems.ReplyDelete
This way, everyone would be able to access to every access point everywhere in the world. Instead of using WPA-type encryption like there is on WiFi, which means users can only access to their own access points but can never access WiFi anywhere else in the world unless the access points are left open.
Devices could thus come with auto-ahtentication and thus instantly connect to the Internet.
If a pricing is decided from the access point provider, then a standard for charging can be implemented. Such as $1/GB or less, something like that. So you login with your OpenID and you click "OK" to pay whichever rate/GB the current access point provider might be charging. And get an overview of eventual alternative networks that are also available in the area and their prices.
A counter in the top right corner of Android should display how much credit I have and how much I am using at any time. Credit would be pre-paid and could be earned by sharing ones home ADSL/Cable/Fibre connection with the neighborhood!
This way, if an access point can be built for the same price as a WiFi hotspot, then the whole world could be covered with free interoperable Super WiFi in the matter of months and for very small investment cost.
I can hear CLEAR WIMAX crying from here.ReplyDelete
I can't afford the data plans. A national, advertising supported wireless network is something I can dig.ReplyDelete
I love the idea but please... please... whatever you do don't forget about Canada!ReplyDelete
"cough" google voice "cough"
More. More. This is not entirely enough.ReplyDelete
starting a foundation to broadcast google tv? With the speed and the broadcast range it would be a seemingly efficient way to distribute video even to those who don't have broadband. This would make a google set top box even more appealing to consumers.ReplyDelete
I'm just as in favor of expanded wireless connectivity as anyone else. But I believe the importance of the necessity and actual usefulness of these newly-available frequencies in the U.S. is being WAY overblown, with the possible exceptions being a) expanded access in *extremely* rural areas, and b) improved and expanded availability of television and other a/v programming transmitted via Wi-Fi.ReplyDelete
So I'm not about to hold my breath waiting for all kinds of new "wiz-bang" gadgets and gizmos that will truly improve our quality of life in any meaningful way, except for maybe the federal auctioning off of more frequencies that could help plug our federal deficit by some very small amount.

I'd be extremely in favor of his option "a" here.
I don't care if it's wireless or uses 4" steel pipe as long as I could pick up some broadcast TV that's 40 miles - 60 miles away.
They stopped analog and broke it, so not I couldn't even get the religious channel on 16 that I used to get in the worst of conditions - even if I wanted too...
It sounds good as long as it includes local channels too and with a total price (for a/v under $55)
That's what I pay for DirecTV Total plus for standard cable fare now (or, more if it offered local Digital TV channels here - which even DirecTV doesn't offer at any price or package)
I got the biggest antenna that Radio Shack sells (no rotor, but I'd happily settle for the 3 broadcast channels I could get, before they broke it with the digital crap.
b) improved and expanded availability of television and other a/v programming transmitted via Wi-Fi.
Well, if I have to pay more that the previous price of free for broadcast TV, then I'd hope it'd be better that what channels 16, 10, & 7, had when I could get them
This could have real impact, the channels available in the white space in combination with the modern equipment could allow for connections of 12 - 48 Mbps at ranges of 20 miles for fixed and 4 - 6 miles for mobile handsets. When combined with gigabit wireless links for backahul into difficult locations and better use of the existing fiber network you have the possibility to make high-speed internet ubiquitous nation wide.ReplyDelete
As the chip-sets go into mass production the price will come down very low, the standards in use on equipment of this type are designed to accommodate a great number of simultaneous connections. As such, you will see it appearing in an ever increasing range of products.
Targeted marketing might be the end goal, but there would be a lot of business involved in making this all happen. It will make the most noticeable difference in the more remote areas, but everyone would notice the difference.
Mesh WI-FI on SteroidsReplyDelete
This project could start from google's data center to surrounding areas. server that are not accessible on mesh could temporary proxy through google gateway (since google is giving out free internet already)
Anyone are allow to create mesh node to increase coverage.
Data centers might join.Putting up a node is one time cost to increase bandwidth.As more data centers participate in this mesh ,there's lesser need to rely on ISP,providing free internet to end users.
However,this is a large scale project (if it's implemented).Any upgrades is a major upgrade.It need to be plan and design carefully.
I don't think AT&T version Comcast and other data providers will step aside so easy. Now AT&T is forcing data planes on smart phone users (I gave my old IPhone to my kid to use as a phone and use the home wi-fi, AT&T added a data plane to his phone out of the blue WTF) so I think they are thinking ahead. With white space wifi, people will not need a data plan or cable internet.ReplyDelete

Mind-Body Medicine
Saybrook Faculty Member Conducts Research Project on Work Motivation and Retention in Nursing
The health care profession is famous for burn-out - but also for the selfless dedication of its practitioners. Why is it that some well-meaning practitioners to happily devote their lives to serving others, while equally well-meaning heal care providers succumb to the stress and hardships they face?
That's the question underlying research now being undertaken by Saybrook faculty member Dr. Devorah Curtis, along with colleague Dr. Mary Moller as they prepare a pilot study to identify work motivation and commitment factors that impact staff and faculty nurse retention.
Devorah Curtis, PhD, BCC, serves as the Director of both the Mentoring Program and the PhD Healthcare Systems Specialization, and is a member of the faculty in the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine (MBM). Her primary research interest centers on Self-Determination Theory as it applies to differences in human motivation in a variety of personal and professional contexts. Along with the core leadership team, Dr. Curtis strives to create an academic environment that maximizes students' sense of purpose, competence, and growth potential throughout their graduate experience. Currently, she and MBM colleague, Dr. Lisa Kelly are in the process of designing a faculty-led study to evaluate the effectiveness of mentoring in impacting student satisfaction, retention, and academic success.
Following a similar research agenda, Drs. Curtis and close friend and colleague, Mary Moller, DNP, ARNP, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN, recently co-authored a poster titled Enhancing Work Motivation and Retention in Professional Nurses. Dr. Moller is an Associate Professor and Specialty Director for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing at the Yale University School of Nursing. Dr. Moller is an advocate, leader, and mentor within the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA). She is the recipient of the 2012 APNA Award for Distinguished Service, as well as the past-President of APNA. Her vision is to establish a model of retention for faculty and staff nurses in both academic and practice environments based on maximizing the inherent skill sets of licensed, professional nurses. Dr. Moller will present their poster during the 2013 APNA Annual Conference held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, October 9-12.
Drs. Curtis and Moller integrated their shared interests in workplace motivation, mentoring and leadership in healthcare systems, and qualitative research by collaborating on this research project. Together, they are preparing a pilot study grounded in Self-Determination Theory to identify work motivation and commitment factors that impact staff and faculty nurse retention. Participants in the pilot study will be nurses and faculty from two large academic medical centers, one in the Northeast and one in the Midwest. The chief nursing officers and directors of nursing research of the participating hospitals will be co-authors of the study. The next phase of the research will be to develop an intervention that will enable nurses to enhance motivation and sustain employment.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WUSA9) --The Fredericksburg Police Department says 60-year-old John Wesley Jeffries has been arrested.
Police apprehended Jeffries on Wednesday at about 3:50 p.m. at an acquaintance's house at the 2000 block of Lafayette Blvd. in Fredericksburg.
Members of the Safe Streets Task Force, which is made up of officers from Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford, King George, Virginia State Police and the FBI, arrested Jeffries after they noticed he was trying to sneak out of a window.
Jeffries was transported from the scene by ambulance to Mary Washington Hospital, due to an unknown medical condition. Police said he was not injured during the arrest.
Authorities began searching for Jeffries on Sunday after they suspected him to be involved in the murder of an elderly couple in their home in The Plains.
Eighty-year-old Nelson Slack and his 74-year-old wife Ethel had lived there for nearly fifty years.
Law enforcement from Fauquier to Spotsylvania county were searching for Jeffries who was wanted for several violent crimes in the Fredericksburg area.
He is also registered as a violent sex offender in Virginia and was wanted in Spotsylvania county for three felonies - abduction, strangling, and malicious wounding.
The Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office will be in custody of Jeffries, police said.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Not long ago a poll was done that showed many, many Americans get their news from the late night televisions shows rather than from actual news broadcasts. The likes of Jay Leno, David Letterman, John Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel and others are always making fun of the established and unestablished political movements. Of course they often concentrate on the fringe movements of the right and left, which not only makes for funny television, but also skews the idea that there are some of us left in the middle of the road.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone thought of us for a change?
I really am tired of everyone on the fringes running things. Remember Nixon's silent majority? I never thought I would be one of them, but I guess I am. Nixon made that up so that he could say he had the support of the American people on the Vietnam War and so he could ignore the squeaky wheels.
Personally I think what would solve the problem would be for all Americans to quit listening to AM talk radio and watching cable news channels. We all know that AM is filled with entertainers who are making lots of money on their broadcasts, not credible news sources. When somehow, someway I get caught somewhere where I need to listen to one of the jokers on the AM dial, it is almost as funny as listening to Letterman's top 10 list or Leno's headlines. The different is that at least Leno and the gang of late night laugh makers admit they are comedians.
Cable network news is a mess too. Gee, why don't we concentrate on important things instead of talking about Michael Jackson's death for a year after he died or worrying about Paris Hilton not being able to go to a foreign country because she is considered a drug addict. Fox is as biased as it gets against anything liberal; in fact they have just about given up on the pretense that they cover both sides of things. CNN pretends to be fair minded and moderate, but look closely and you will often see an agenda there too. As for MSNBC, it is outwardly as liberal as they come.
Then there is public radio. NPR has a liberal slant, but I will admit at least they try to get in both sides of issues, sometimes.
It all leaves me rather cold and feeling left out. Admittedly I never completely agreed with the left or the right. But it used to be you could be a Democrat, own a gun, and not be considered a hick or a junk yard dog with no scruples when it came to life. On the other hand you could also be a a Republican and also believe in a womans right to choose without being told you will go to hell for holding such a view.
This brings to mind the Take Back America set. They say they are a collection of Americans who are tired of the way things have been run in the last 40 years. They envision a different America, one, it seems by their description, that would reside in a good time, such as America was when they were kids; you know, like in the fifties.
Well I know the fifties were good for me. My wonderful parents took care of me and basically shielded me from most of the problems of life. It was fun having no worries and not having to be concerned about adult realities. My father worked his tail off to support us, worried constantly about the price of milk since he made his living off our dairy farm, encroachment of subdivisions on our farms boundaries, where the water would come from to irrigate the crops in drought years and whether radioactivity would show up in the milk we took from our cows every time Eisenhower let the military explode an H-Bomb in the Nevada desert. Yeah it was good for me, but I doubt it was that great for him.
It's easy to look back and think things were better then. But if you were black (or largely any other color than white), female and on the lower end of the economic scale, it was probably worse than now. And it ain't so great today.
Yes these people would like to return to the day of apple pie, mom and Chevrolet. They want a simpler time when we could tell our enemies from our friends just by looking at where they went to church, what language the spoke and when we could control what kind of people would be moving in next door. All they are asking for is order in the world.
Sinclair Lewis, a great American novelist and the first American to win the Nobel prize for literature once wrote "When Facism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carry a cross."
The problem is, can we or even will we want to recognize it when it shows up?
