Douglas A. Marlow has the perfect spot for a dog park the existing one at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Jefferson Countys campus on Water Street.
Mr. Marlow, the SPCAs executive director, would like to see the existing dog park expanded and upgraded.
On Wednesday, he met with City Manager Sharon A. Addison to discuss his visions for the dog park after a Dorsey Street man revived his efforts to establish one at Thompson Park.
With the Watertown City Council not showing much interest in creating a dog park at Thompson Park, Mr. Marlow has suggested the SPCAs facility as another option.
The SPCA dog park was built about five years ago so that dogs at the shelter could get exercise and for SPCA members to use. He opened up its use to the general public when he became the executive director in January.
But not a lot of people are aware the dog park exists, he acknowledged.
It could be better utilized, he said.
Under his concept, the SPCA facility would triple in size, have separate areas for small and large dogs, install a transition gate so dogs cannot escape and have a walking trail around a pond. It would cost about $100,000, he said.
On Wednesday, Dorsey Street resident Scott A. Gates agreed the SPCA site may be a way to proceed with his idea after failing to persuade council members to create a park at Thompson Park, although he does not prefer the SPCA location.
If thats the one we can get, than thats the one we can get, he said.
Several years ago, a benefactor came forward to contribute $200,000 to establish a park in his deceased dogs name. When council members failed to act on his proposal four years ago, that money went to another community, Mr. Gates said.
However, he has raised about $5,000 and would be willing to undertake another fundraising campaign, Mr. Gates said.
The issue came up again Nov. 19 when Mr. Gates and two other residents lobbied council members to move forward with the idea. That night, Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith asked Mr. Gates about his views on the SPCA dog park.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said he would support the idea if Mr. Gates came up with the money to pay for it.

The Grapes of Wrathby John Steinbeck
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One of the greatest and most socially significant novels of the twentieth century, Steinbeck's controversial masterpiece indelibly captured America during the Great Depression through the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads.
Intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, tragic but ultimately stirring in its insistence on human dignity, The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is not only a landmark American novel, but it is as well an extraordinary moment in the history of our national conscience.
"Steinbeck's best novel." Time Magazine
"Steinbeck has written a novel from the depths of his heart with a sincerity seldom equaled." The New York Times Book Review
"The first book I remember that really grabbed me was a book that Miss McGuffey made us read, a book called Tortilla Flat by Steinbeck. When I read it, I really enjoyed the book. So I went to her and said,'I like this.' She was shocked that I would show any interest in what she was making us do. So she said, okay, read this. The next one was, Of Mice and Men. So she sort of fed the Steinbeck books to me. When I read The Grapes of Wrath — we saved that for last — I knew that was a very powerful book. I don't know if it had anything to do with my writing style, or me as a writer, because I wasn't thinking about it back then. It had a lot to do with the way I viewed humanity and the struggles of little people against big people. It was a very important book for me." John Grisham
Today, nearly forty years after his death, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures. Over the next year, his many works published as black-spine Penguin Classics for the first time and will feature eye-catching, newly commissioned art.
Of this initial group of six titles, The Grapes of Wrath is in a new edition with a completely revised introduction and, for the first time, detailed notes by leading Steinbeck scholar Robert DeMott.
Penguin Classics is proud to present these seminal works to a new generation of readersand to the many who revisit them again and again.
About the Author
Born in 1902 in Salinas, California, John Steinbeck attended Stanford University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and embarking on his literary career. Profoundly committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of labor exploitation and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He received the Nobel Prize in 1962, "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures.

As one of the smallest fixed dome cameras on the market today, the VB-S31D has been designed with components maximized to save space yet provide high quality video at the same time. To accomplish this, smaller circuit boards are combined with meticulous layout planning. The lens has been designed with UD, aspherical elements and a high refractive index. This allows for a much more compact lens assembly as well as superb image capture capability, so the Full HD Video is clear and crisp. The VB-S31D is smaller and lighter than many other cameras of its type, increasing the options available when mounting in tight spaces. It is even light enough to allow installation without hardware.
Power over Ethernet
A key component in the compact size of the VB-S31D is the sole use of Power over Ethernet as the method of power, with a maximum usage of 7.6 watts.

ALBUQUERQUE — For the second straight game, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team held an opponent scoreless through the duration.
And for the second straight game, the Hilltoppers had nothing to show for it.
Los Alamos blanked the Las Cruces Bulldawgs in their first round game of the Albuquerque Academy Invitational Thursday but couldn't come up with a tally on the other end.
In the shootout, Los Alamos misfired on two attempts and Las Cruces goalkeeper Nikki Rosales jumped on top of a third attempt. Only Kelsey Neal converted her penalty kick as the Hilltoppers fell 3-1 in the shootout.
With the loss, the Hilltoppers dropped into the consolation bracket of the tournament and were scheduled to play Hope Christian this afternoon.
Los Alamos outshot Las Cruces 23-15 in the contest but was blanked for the second straight outing. Moriarty took a shootout decision over Los Alamos Aug. 26.
While Los Alamos' defense was exceptional Thursday, the offense struggled to get on the same page despite several chances.
"We played flat," Los Alamos head coach Jiri Kubicek said of his offense. "We had three or four people attacking, but everyone else would sit on defense. In the second half we did a better job, but no one was there in the first half."

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
You know when you ask someone to do a piece of your job for you, you never know what you'll get.
I am writing my own column this week and sending it in myself. It was nice of my husband to help out last week when I was in a pinch.
What a busy few weeks. What with the Olympics, two political conventions and a hurricane there is a lot to talk about around the water cooler.
The Olympics had its scandles and triumphs, but in the end it kind of just fizzled away.
But then so did hurricane Gustav.
The Democratic Convention was pretty much what we expected. No big bombs there. But, the Republicans have saved the day with the vice presidential nomination. This did not fizzle, but exploded with the specticle of a Fourth of July fireworks finally.
I had not paid much attention to the Alaska governor, Sarah Palin before she became the chosen one. Now she is all over the news. Several issues bother me a bit about her, but I truly think that her daughter's pregnancy should not be an attack point for the opposition. I also didn't think Brittney Spear's little sister's pregnancy deserved the media attention it got either.
That issue will get much more press that it needs to have. That's because we have a whole group of talking heads that have to have something to give their opinion on.
The moral issue of teen pregnancy to an unwed mother has been a hot topic on several occasions over the last 10 years or so. Mostly from people who align themselves with the political party now dealing with the issue as part of their vice presidential nomination. Remember the fictional character "Murphy Brown?" and Dan Quayle?
I for one will not castigate this family on this issue. I have no right to second guess whether or not that Sarah Palin gave her daughter the right message about sex or that she wasn't there enough for her child because she is a professional working mom.
As parents, most of us should not point fingers at others. I know many of us have gone through our own heartbreaks and trials as we raised our children.
What we all should be focusing on from all the candidates is the real issues that a president needs to deal with. The economy, war, gas prices and energy issues are top concerns for me. Also disaster relief and preparations, home land security and education are high on my list as well. We each have our own lists and priorities that we want in a president and our congress included.
So will this remaining election period be a side show or an example of democracy at its best. I worry it will lean toward the former.
I will not add to the circus. I plan on keeping my focus on the reason we elect a president every four years.
I hope you do as well.

Do SMEs create more and better jobs? Pubblicato il: 16/01/2012, Ultimo aggiornamento: 04/11/2014
The European Commission published today a study analyzing the important role small and medium sized enterprises play in creating more and better jobs. SMEs provide a vital contribution to the European economy, being responsible for more than two thirds of the total employment in the private sectors and 85% of the net job growth.
Given their importance in the European economy, they are also essential for the economic recovery and for reducing the negative employment effects of the crisis. A post-crisis informed and effective policy making process requires and should be based on an expert analysis of how the recent crisis has affected the creation of new jobs in SMEs, as well as the quality of existing ones. In response to these information needs, the study provides statistical evidence and analysis of:
- the quantity of jobs SMEs deliver, and how it has changed over time, with a focus on the recent crisis.
- the quality of jobs SMEs deliver, with a view to shed light on the nexus between the creation of jobs in Europe's SMEs and the simultaneous improvement of the competitiveness of the EU SME sector.

Woody Allen once memorably said that relationships are like sharks-they must keep moving forward or else they die-a sentiment that's perfectly applicable to editors too. While the vicious fishes need oxygen to live and relationships require progression to thrive, we're compelled to hunt for the latest looks, trends, and products for our survival. The good part about being driven by a force so instinctive and powerful that it's probably coded in our DNA (along with a fondness for hyperbole) is that we discover loads of great stuff for you, dear readers, along the way. Today, we're delighted to share a few of those fabulous finds, ranging from a life-changing, lash-boosting mascara to a must-read book, in this month's installment of WWW Hearts. Sure, it's no Shark Week or Annie Hall, but hopefully this roundup will delight and entertain you nevertheless!
Senso Wilma Platform Booties ($160)
There are loads of Australian imports we love- Camilla and Marc, Nobody, Zimmermann-now we have one more to add to that list: Senso. The super cute shoe line has so many must-buy styles for fall, like these adorable Wilma ankle booties, which are available in cheetah or black. But don't take our word for it; check out all the options, like the wedge Acacia, the flat zippered Laden, the studded Tina...
Imperial Bedrooms ($13) by Bret Easton Ellis
Full disclosure: we are huge Bret Easton Ellis fans (we have a little collection of autographed books at home), so we might be a little biased. That said, the author's latest novel-a gripping, semi-sequel to his first published work, Less Than Zero-is truly a must-buy. It's eerie, insane, and completely haunting, no wonder we couldn't put it down!
Maje Turin Eyelet Cotton-Blend Dress ($235)
Does Maje's designer Judith Milgrom ever create anything that's not perfect? Frankly, we don't think so. Just take this drop-waist mini dress, for example: it's the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, ideal for summer days and nights, and completely easy to wear. We adore it so much; we just might have to buy two!
Maybelline New York The Falsies by Volum' Express Mascara ($8, available in drugstores now)
Dearest readers, it gives us great pleasure to finally present Maybelline's thrilling new mascara: The Falsies. After a month of testing it out every day, we can tell you that this product is a serious game changer. The curved brush and Pro-Keratin fiber-enriched formula is fantastic and gives you tremendously full and long lashes-people keep asking if we have extensions! All in all, it's so amazing we can't stand the thought of going a single day without it and suggest you stock up too! (On a side note: if you can't find it at your local store, it will be available on Maybelline's website in the next couple of weeks, so check back soon.)
Prada B.Y.O. Bag ($295, available at Prada boutiques)
The Who What Wear office issued a collective sigh the second we saw these lovely summer totes from Prada. Ultra-lightweight (each one only weighs five ounces!) and totally memorable thanks to the gorgeous prints (all from the Prada archives), the bags will add a much-needed dose of boldness to your warm-weather basics. Check out all eight styles at the Prada boutique near you!
Michael Kors Watches Black Oversized Watch ($195)
Big gold Rolex watches are sure to have a comeback when Wall Street part deux hits theaters in September, but until then we'll enjoy this sleek and sexy style from Michael Kors. The black resin wristband is oh-so Chanel, but without the crazy price tag, while the generously proportioned face will add a touch of masculinity to your most girly garb.
Rag & Bone/JEAN Skinny Jeans ($175) in Red
This spring, Rag & Bone launched their new collection of basics-jeans, shirts, and knits-including these impeccably cut skinnies. The bright red is festive, perfect for all your summer barbecues and outdoor movie nights!
New Face: Bambi Northwood-Blyth
The latest model on our radar is the wonderfully named Bambi Northwood-Blyth, an Aussie stunner with wildly strong eyebrows, piercing blue eyes, and a chiseled face that reminds us of Brooke Shields. While we love her editorials in Australian magazines like Russh, our fingers are crossed that she makes a splash during New York Fashion Week.
J. Crew Chambray Bikini Top ($50) and Bikini Briefs ($44)
The lovely team at J.Crew never fails to delight us with their fresh takes on classic American style, which is why we adore this chambray suit so much. The mid-blue hue is perfectly on trend, and the timeless cut is sure to flatter a wide range of bodies-this bikini is a must-buy!
Fresh Fringe: Sienna Miller
It's funny how a small change can make you see someone in a whole new light. Take Sienna Miller's recent trim, for example: her new blunt fringe is flirty yet strong, and totally transforms her look. (The perfect shade of blonde doesn't hurt too!) It's enough to make us rethink our own cut and color.

MASSENA Clarkson University students and faculty will visit Massena next week to study the feasibility of reconstructing the failed weir on the Grasse River as part of the downtown revitalization effort.
Students and faculty in the universitys multidisciplinary honors program will visit Massena at 1:30 p.m. May 8 to study the cost and environmental impact of the weir dams reconstruction.
Village Mayor James F. Hidy would like to see the weir repaired as part of the effort to revitalize downtown Massena.
He is interested in mending the dam to restore water levels, which could create boating, kayaking and other opportunities downtown and spur development.
I think its vital to the revitalization of the downtown community that it be repaired for aesthetics purposes, as well as to increase water levels for recreational purposes, and for it not being a dried up riverbed in the summer months, he said.
Mr. Hidy could not provide an estimate for the cost or timetable of the work to repair the weir, should the project pass numerous hurdles and move forward.
However, in 2011, Clarkson University Professor emeritus Norbert L. Ackermann, whose expertise is in water resources, evaluated the site and Mr. Hidys idea.
He called $1 million in repairs a conservative estimate and said the project would require a firm specializing in dam repairs.
The village would also have to address the changes in the ecosystem since the weir first breached 15 years ago.
Mr. Hidy thinks the weirs repair is long overdue. In spring 1997, a large tree floating down the river after a thaw broke a hole through the structures center, which has remained breached since.
I think you would find many in the community who will find the repair of the weir long overdue, Mr. Hidy said. I cant imagine why for this many years the riverbed was allowed to dry up.
Mr. Hidy has suggested the weir repair was critical to efforts to revitalize Massena since running for his seat on the village Board of Trustees.
The weirs construction may come into conflict with an approximately $10 million project to restore local wildlife as part of a multiagency proposal to restore damage caused by decades of industrial pollutants.
The Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration project proposal comes on the heels of a $19.4 million settlement New York state and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe reached last month with Alcoa and Reynolds for damage to natural resources, fishing and Mohawk culture resulting from the release of industrial pollutants into the St. Lawrence River since at least the late 1950s.
That plan calls for the removal of 10 dams along the St. Lawrence, St. Regis, Raquette and Grasse rivers to increase mobility and improve habitats for local fisheries.
Mr. Hidy believes the weirs reconstruction shouldnt come into conflict with that project because the dam would incorporate fish ladders into its design.
Theyre proven successful in allowing fish to navigate up and down river, he said.
St. Regis Mohawk Tribe officials declined to comment on the proposals to reconstruct the dam.

About Mali
Across more than 50 years of partnership, USAID has contributed to major development gains that improve the lives of the Malian people. For example, USAID has founded farmer cooperatives and improved irrigation methods to help Mali meet increasing food demands, established a community school system and interactive radio instruction to increase access to education, and expanded health services that led to dramatic reductions in child mortality. USAID also addresses humanitarian needs of Malians both in Mali and refugee camps in neighboring countries.After the March 2012 coup d'état, USAID put non-lifesaving programs on hold, however, following peaceful democratic elections and the inauguration of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta on September 4, 2013, USAID began working with the Government of Mali to resume foreign assistance more broadly, including education and governance programs, while also adapting continued activities to the new government's priorities.

MASSENA Flags and rifles were raised Sunday during a re-enactment battle at Robert Moses State Park for the 12th annual Civil War Weekend presented by the St. Lawrence County Historical Association.
The event began Saturday and continued through the weekend with tents, horses, guns, artillery and more than 100 participants in period costume forming the Union and Confederate armies.
We wanted to find a way to engage families and children in history, said J. Susanne Longshore, event coordinator and collections manager for the Historical Association. We need to understand our past to know where were going, and this is the best way to do it, with immersion in history.
Cortney A. Shatraw, Watertown, brought her four children to see the re-enactment Sunday. She said her family enjoyed taking pictures with Abraham Lincoln, seeing the cavalry riders and the battle that took place and buying items from the Civil War period.
We came out for the educational experience, she said. Its been fun for everybody.
Mrs. Longshore said New York state is known for sending the largest numbers of men, materials and money to the Civil War effort.
St. Lawrence County alone sent nearly 7,000 men, she said.
William D. Mayers, Rome, has been re-enacting for 13 years and portrayed a surgeon for the Union army. He had several tool kits, medicines and bullets on display to demonstrate what life would be like as a surgeon in the Civil War.
The No. 1 kit is the capital amputation kit, named after the capital saw, he said. It was a life-saving procedure to amputate.
Mr. Mayers said the reason the Civil War was one of Americas bloodiest wars is because of the way people were mangled on the battlefield. Research indicates that 750,000 to 800,000 people were killed during the Civil War.
No matter where you lived in America, you were affected in one way or another by these losses, Mr. Mayers said.
Mr. Mayers said that the role women played during the Civil War often gets overlooked. His wife, Carol J., and their friend Peggy L. Reilly, North Syracuse, who both participated as re-enactors, said women sent out care packages by the millions.
Theyd send anything from food, clothes, socks, books, newspapers, letters, pictures and anything from home, Mrs. Mayers said. There were 400 documented females who disguised themselves and served as soldiers.
John R. Baylis, Cassville, has done Civil War re-enacting for more than 30 years and usually portrays President Abraham Lincoln.
It was a very traumatic time in our history, he said.
Mr. Baylis said the large number of casualties in the war, along with the loss of Lincolns son, William, caused a great amount of stress for the wartime president.
I would like to emulate him as closely as I can, he said. There probably wasnt anybody before or since who couldve brought this country through the condition that it was in better than he could.

James Baldwin
James Baldwin Picture
(1924-1987) American writer and activist.
James Baldwin was born the in Harlem, New York and was the eldest of nine children. As a youth Baldwin was verbally abused by his stepfather who often referred to him as the "ugliest child he had ever seen." Baldwin attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, where he felt what he described as the "stigma of being Negro". After graduating high school he worked a series of low paying jobs to support his siblings. As a youth Baldwin began to feel stifled by being both an African American in a racist society, and a gay man in the homophobic African American community. In 1948 at the age of 24 Baldwin decided to move to France to escape his unfortunate predicaments. While in France Baldwin became an avid writer and poet. With the encouragement and constant support of his best friend and lover Lucien Happersberger, he was able to publish a number of poems and novels. In 1956, Baldwin's novel Giovanni's Room, which told the story of a white man torn between his love for a man and a woman, brought him critical acclaim as a powerful American writer. Baldwin's greatest influence on the life of his times stemmed from his numerous essay collections: Notes of a Native Son (1955), Nobody Knows My Name (1960), and The Fire Next Time (1963). Aside from literature, Baldwin was against the Vietnam War and an outspoken advocate of Gay and Lesbian Rights. He also made valuable contributions to the African American Civil Rights Movement.

Violette (Violette Noziere)
Drama, Suspense/Thriller
Claude Chabrol's Violette was based on the true story of 19-year-old Violette Noziere, who in the 1930s was tried and convicted for the poisoning of her father and the attempted murder of her mother. As played by Isabelle Huppert (who won several awards for her performance), Violette is a thrill-seeking girl who falls for a no-good slug from the slums of Paris. Anxious to give money to her lover, Violette hatches the patricide scheme in order to inherit her father's fortune. But Violette's mother, played as an deglamorized drudge by the otherwise stunning Stephane Audran, is not so easily disposed of; it is her testimony that condemns Violette, first to the guillotine, then to a commuted life sentence. In emulation of his idol Alfred Hitchcock, director Chabrol manages to evoke a measure of sympathy and audience identification for his thoroughly dislikable leading character.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Annual Revenue: $1 to $5 Billion
Oracle Customer: Omniyat Investment Management
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Industry: Financial Services
Employees: 300
Annual Revenue: $1 to $5 Billion
Omniyat Investment Management is a major business division of Omniyat, a privately held real estate development and service related company, headquartered in Dubai. Omniyat Investment Management aims to be the pre-eminent funds and asset management company operating in the Federal Financial Free Zone administered by the Government of Dubai. It is the first company of its type affiliated to a freehold property developer, in this case Omniyat Properties, and operating across the entire real estate value chain, including as an owner, investor, developer, and asset manager.
Omniyat Investment Management arranges investment deals, advises on financial products or credit, and manages assets. The company's vision is to build a funds management business in Dubai incorporating its entire main and subproperty fund offerings from a broad range of investment opportunities. In the future, Omniyat Investment Management aims to manage a range of property fund products to rival leading onshore fund centers, such as London, New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
"Upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 has enabled us to streamline our core financial and human resources processes. We have reduced our administration overheads and can deliver 100% availability for daily processes—producing qualities that are critical and enviable in any fast-growing financial services organization." ‒ Kenneth D'Costa, general manager, IT and Operations, Omniyat Investment Management
Omniyat Investment Management spent eight months planning the deployment and studying the potential benefits of improving its financial and HR systems. Senior management became convinced following in-depth analysis, that the investment in an upgrade to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 would deliver significant operational efficiency improvements, in particular the projected reductions and reallocations of employees dedicated to financial and HR functions.
"We are very happy with our decision to upgrade to the very latest version of Oracle E-Business Suite. We ensured postimplementation support with trusted Oracle Partner 4i Apps Solutions. Oracle has delivered the manpower transformations that it promised, and, on the technical side, our systems are now 100% available and provide the perfect foundation for future Oracle application deployments as our business continues to scale," said Kenneth D'Costa, general manager, IT and operations, Omniyat Investment Management.
Omniyat Investment Management worked with Oracle partner 4i Apps Solutions to upgrade its Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite footprint. After eight months of meticulous planning, the implementation took four months and was ready to go live on the precise date planned and within budget. Four partner consultants were onsite for much of the implementation. During the implementation, 4i Apps Solutions also worked with Omniyat Investment Management to train users on new functionality.
Oracle Partner
4i Apps Solutions
Omniyat Investment Management selected Oracle Partner 4i Apps Solutions as a consultant and implementation partner for its Oracle E-Business Suite upgrade project. It received additional support from regional Oracle managers based in Dubai. 4i Apps Solutions designed the project to work around tight budgetary constraints in the wake of the global economic recession.
"We believe that 4i App Solutions genuinely understands our business. We evaluated dozens of potential partners, but were convinced by its exemplary record of post-implementation support for Oracle Financials, a strong local presence, previous experience working in Dubai, and its exclusive focus on Oracle technology," D'Costa said. "Omniyat Investment Management will certainly adopt more Oracle technology as we continue to grow, and we need a partner that not only represents excellent value, but is also committed to us and Oracle, so we can gain the greatest business benefit from Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1, as well as future Oracle projects and support."

MASSENA The town of Massenas new part-time code enforcement officer wont even have to leave his office when he takes over his new responsibilities.
The town board hired Peter Devine, Massena, to the post Wednesday night, and the village board is expected to follow suit at their next meeting in August. Mr. Devine already serves as the villages housing rehabilitation program director and works out of the code enforcement office in the Massena Town Hall.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said Mr. Devine was one of three finalists for the position interviewed by Mr. Gray, town Councilman John F. Macaulay and village Trustee Albert Herb Deshaies last week.
Mr. Gray said he hopes Mr. Devine will start his new duties Aug. 1.
It is the recommendation from the joint committee that we hire Peter Devine of Massena for a code enforcement job. He will hopefully be certified, be able to fulfill his certification requirements by the end of this year. If he is able to take the classes right now, he would start Aug. 1 at a rate of $16 an hour while hes working and training at the same time. Hell also be working; hell still do code enforcement work while hes training. Then, once he is certified, we would up that to $17.50 an hour and after a six-month review consider a second increase at that time if his work is satisfactory in the first six months, Mr. Gray said.
It will be a joint effort with the village. The intent has been that we believe that the public wants there to be a joint effort. We think it makes sense to combine the resources of the town and village with regard to the code enforcement staff who are in the office that work for the village, he added.
The position will be 30 hours per week, with both the town and village each paying for 15 hours per week.
I should add there are no benefits. Theres no paid time off, no health care, theres no sick time. He is paid for the time he works. ... He will be using the vehicle that we have for code enforcement. He will, however, pay for his own classes for certification, Mr. Gray said.

Angels sign Josh Hamilton, what does this mean for R.A. Dickey?
The Angels have signed Josh Hamilton to a five-year deal, according to Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says Hamilton signed a five-year, $125 million contract.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Dec. 13, 3:55 pm: In regards to the R.A. Dickey Waiting Game Saga, this is the other shoe Sandy Alderson has been waiting to see drop…
I actually think this increases the chance the Mets offer Dickey an extension and look to keep him. I believe Texas was Sandy Alderson's best chance at getting a team to overpay for Dickey, but only in the event they ended up with Hamilton and younger outfielders to trade. This is less likely now. Of course, the Rangers could still go out and get Nick Swisher, Michael Bourne or trade for Justin Upton, but I'm not sure Alderson wants to wait for Texas again. He, too, has to move to fix his outfield situation and I get the feeling he's looking to end all of this sooner than later…
Dec. 13, 3:10 pm: As for the Angels, in late November I said they were one of three teams interested in Dickey, though reports suggest they haven't been in contact with the Mets in some time. Actually, in early November, I wondered if Peter Bourjos could be involved (not the center piece) in a swap for R.A. However, in the last month, more than one person has told me Bourjos is not available, but I find that hard to believe, especially since their outfield is so full. Maybe he wasn't available earlier in the winter because the Angels had him earmarked for a specific deal?
Similarly, there has been talk lately that Mark Trumbo could be moved (in the event Hamilton was signed), since it seems only natural that they'd look to shop one of these two outfielders for pitching.
I'm not totally sold on Bourjos, but if the Mets can get Trumbo they should do it, though ESPN reports that is unlikely and Newsday says the same thing. But, by adding to the deal, I wonder if there is a way for the Mets to get both?
Michael Baron, Contributor
Trumbo could qualify as the "difference maker" Alderson said he is seeking in a deal for Dickey. He doesn't get on-base much, he strikes out a ton, and he's only a fair outfielder, but he has tremendous power. He would also give the Mets versatility in that he can also play first base on occasion, especially against a tough left-handed pitcher.
As for Bourjos, he has some upside. He doesn't hit for much power and, like Trumbo, doesn't get on base very much. But he is an outstanding defensive player and would give a much needed element of speed. However, at this point, Bourjos is fourth outfielder until he proves otherwise..
