AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It's been a back-and-forth for Auburn City Councilors, but in a 4-2 vote, the council approved a modified plan for a new dual sheet ice arena.
Decided in a city council meeting Monday night, the city will sign on to a 30-year lease with private developer George Schott.
Schott has agreed to donate the $2 million plot of land nex to the Auburn Mall and beside Shaw's supermarket, and finance the $8.5 arena.
Councilors first approved the arena propsoal in September, then reversed the decision earlier this month.
New financial projects have changed the councilors' minds, according to City Manager Clinton Deschene.
He said a pledged $75 thousand dollars or more in advertising, plus an offer to reduce interest rates for five years, sweetened the deal.
But not everyone is sold.
City Councilor Tizz Crowley said she is surprised "that two councilors could change their positions so easily without, in my opinion, substantial new information."
She said there's no guarantee the city will be able to rent enough ice time over the 30 year span to continue to generate a profit over the 30 year lease.
"There's a strong belief, sort of the 'build it and they will come,'" said Crowley. "Will they come for 30 years?"
According to leaders in the Youth Hockey community -- they will.
"I think everyone in the hockey community is looking forward to it," said Andy Guerin, President of the Gladiators Hockey and Co-President of the Twin City Titans.
There is no set date for ground-breaking for the new arena, but officials with the Auburn Parks and Rec. department expect to have the new arena up and running by Fall 2013.
The Ingersoll Arena in Auburn will stay open until the new arena is complete.

Cheap shots, taunts and being treated inferior by her teammates was how Massena senior Erin Francis began her lacrosse career.
Francis, a native of Akwesasne, started out playing on boys box lacrosse teams an indoor version of the sport played on a surface about the size of a hockey rink.
Thats pressure right there, being the only girl, but I held my own, Francis said. At first Id hear things like, Shes a girl, or Shes not as good as us. But I showed them and they knew I could play and then there was no problem.
Still, being the only girl on a team full of boys, and being better than some of them, caused problems for Francis.
Sometimes I would be open and they wouldnt pass it, or theyd try to check me, Francis said. They didnt know I could play, yet, and I made them look silly. Then they knew I could play.
Once it came time to play at the high school level, Francis had to leave boys teams and began playing for Massenas girls squad.
She has become the top player in Section 10, leading in scoring with 55 goals and 29 assists, and next year, shell join NCAA Division I Syracuse University.
It was a huge adjustment, Francis said of playing girls lacrosse, which has less physicality allowed in its rules. I didnt know the rules and everything was the exact opposite. There was no contact. I still have those box lacrosse tendencies sometimes. In box lacrosse you keep your stick low and Ill drop my stick without noticing, because thats where its comfortable.
Box lacrosse really shaped how I play. Its a big part of my life. It really helped me out a lot. All the coaches, when they first see me play, they ask if I played box lacrosse before. I really liked playing box. I liked the contact and everything.
Franciss coach at Massena, Jeffery Slack, played for the Red Raiders as a prep athlete and previously played box lacrosse.
As a coach I like to hop in the drills sometimes, Slack said. I have a great love for the game. I love coaching it and playing it. I like to play with Erin because shes very creative and shes very deceptive. I have a great time when I get into the drills and have the opportunity to play with her.
Francis, who also plays for the womens Iroquois national team, said she grew up a fan of SU mens lacrosse and that the Powell brothers of Carthage fame were her favorite players. She met Casey Powell as a kid and told him she was going to play for the Orange someday.
Im very excited and cant wait, Francis said of SU. I went on a visit to watch one of their practices, went into the (Carrier) Dome and knew thats where I wanted to go.
Were very proud of Erin, not so much because she plays for Massena, but because she works so hard and you see what she puts into her game, Slack said. Shes a team player. Thats one of the things that is most important about her. She is constantly looking to get her teammates involved.
Francis has also become a role model for girls in her community and helps coach youth lacrosse in her spare time. Slack recalled he heard about a girl who tried to wear her hair the same way as Francis because she wanted to do everything just like her.
I think its cute, Francis said. I love it. It means what Im doing is helping other girls to help their dreams come true.
The immediate focus for Francis is helping Massena make it to the state tournament again, and perhaps win a game.
We definitely can do it, Francis said. Its all about the focus. If you arent focused on a game, you wont have a good game.

We're not the least bit surprised that leather skirts have become an imperative part of the most fashionable closets. Who can resist an article of clothing that is both universally appealing (they're tough, sexy, and feminine all at the same time) and endlessly versatile? Certainly not us! Leather skirts are an investment-worthy item for sure, and, thanks to a myriad of silhouettes and gorgeous fall colors, have officially rendered themselves a fresh choice for fall!
Picking up a leather skirt is easy, but knowing how to wear it can be tricky! After all, you don't want to look like a biker bar regular or a dominatrix, right? Fortunately, the options are endless, and we've got a handful of smart outfit ideas to prove it! One suggestion is to tone down the skirt's inherent sexiness by pairing it with a polished piece like a prim, silky blouse. The result is feminine and sophisticated, as evidenced by one stylish civilian we spotted on Stockholm Streetstyle (top row, center). By teaming her black leather pleated mini skirt with a chic green button-up, peep-toe heels, and a mini bag, she created an ensemble that's perfect for date night or a low-key cocktail party.
On the opposite end of the styling spectrum, we also approve of Liv Tyler's downtown take on the trend, which speaks brilliantly to the leather skirt's cool, tough-girl vibe. The actress and October Style Spotlight star selected Stella McCartney's sleek Faux Leather Pencil Skirt ($515) for her appearance at said designer's F/W 11 show in Paris earlier this year, and we have to commend her decision to juxtapose the skirt's secretary-gone-bad spirit with a sporty varsity jacket. British model Suki Waterhouse also opted to combine a leather skirt with casual outerwear recently. For a Reebok party in London a few months ago, Waterhouse styled a leather mini skirt with a white t-shirt, black and white checked coat, and taupe suede ankle booties. The result is more casual and youthful than Tyler's ensemble, but is equally on-point and stylish!
While we love the classic look of a black leather skirt, we have to admit it looks equally lovely in fall's rich hues, as Rose Byrne and Karolina Kurkova recently showed us. Not only did both ladies select colored leather skirts for their evening attire, but they also created high-impact looks with a mix of intriguing textures. Byrne gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "leather and lace" at the W Hotel's Symmetry Concert in Miami back in July, when she paired Zimmermann's Idyllic White Guipure Shirt ($1200) with the Australian brand's yellow Halcyon Flip Skirt ($775) and Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. (Check out the designer's Lace-Up Platform Sandals ($1195) for a similar style.) The combination of the summery top with the fall skirt makes for a smart transitional look. A few months later at the Aigner shop re-opening in Germany, Kurkova assembled a flashbulb-worthy ensemble consisting of Derek Lam's gold metallic Neck Tie Blouse ($1490), a chocolate brown leather skirt by Aigner, and Dior heels. We love how the lustrous top complements the skirt's luxurious look, and think it would make for an excellent outfit for any holiday soiree.
Now that we've shown you a number of ways to wear a leather skirt, it's time to fill your closet with some chic options to try this season! If you're searching for a classic black skirt, definitely pick up Joie's Inga Durango Leather Skirt ($328), which has a flirtatious a-line silhouette, or Tracy Reese's Black Leather Pencil Skirt ($495) if you prefer a slimmer style. We're also obsessed with the retro spirit of Leith's Leather Midi Skirt ($328), which is perfect for all your ladylike ensembles. Want to try a non-noir option a la Byrne and Kurkova? Don't hesitate to check out See by Chloe's Leather Mini Skirt ($454) in Rust Brown, A.L.C.'s Leather Skirt ($454) in Bordeaux, or Madewell's Leather Belltoll Skirt ($298) in Warm Cinnamon. Fortunately, there are a number of inexpensive options on the market now too, including Free People's Vegan Leather Pleated Skirt ($148), River Island's Gold Leather Mini Skirt ($126), and A|Wear's 2 Tone Pu Skirt ($72). Whatever skirt or skirts you decided to pick up, just make sure to keep each of today's well-appointed looks in mind when you're styling this wardrobe essential!-Jessica Baker

Sunnyside residents have an advantage no one else in Utah has-they get to share their town with a herd of wild Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. On June 19, others can share that experience at a free viewing event hosted by the Divisions of Wildlife Resources. Biologists will be available from 4 to 7 p.m. to help visitors locate the animals and answer questions.
Each year, the sheep spend the summer in the general vicinity of the Sunnyside fire station and cliffs that surround the area near the station. They water at Grassy Trail Creek and forage on native and reclaimed vegetation in the area.
This band of bighorns, about 25 rams in all is accustomed to cars and people, so they can be observed and photographed at close range.
"We'll have spotting scopes and binoculars available for people to use, but we encourage those who have their own optics to bring them," says Brent Stettler, DWR regional conservation outreach manager.
The sheep can be viewed from the road, so those who have physical challenges don't need to worry about hiking or walking.
Stettler asks that people leave dogs at home and keep kids quiet to avoid startling the sheep.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn returns with his most explosive political thriller yet. A tour de force of action-packed suspense, Protect and Defend delivers an all-too-realistic and utterly compelling vision of nations navigating the minefield of international intrigue. A true "heavyweight in the political thriller arena" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), Vince Flynn has created a flesh-and-blood hero that readers can cheer for and a "finger-blistering page-turner" they won't dare put down.
In Protect and Defend, the action begins in the heart of Iran, where billions of dollars are being spent on the development of a nuclear program. No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel launches one of the most creative and daring espionage operations ever conceived. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in the middle of Iran's second largest city. An outraged Iranian government publicly blames both Israel and the United States for the attack and demands retribution. Privately, Iran's bombastic president wants much more. He wants America and Israel to pay for their aggression with blood.
Enter Mitch Rapp, America's top counterterrorism operative. Used to employing deception, Rapp sees an opportunity where others see only Iranian reprisals that could leave thousands of Americans dead. Rapp convinces President Josh Alexander to sign off on a risky operation that will further embarrass the Iranian government and push their country to the brink of revolution. As part of the plan, CIA director Irene Kennedy is dispatched to the region for a clandestine meeting with Azad Ashani, her Iranian counterpart.
But Rapp isn't the only one hatching plans. Iran's President Amatullah has recruited Hezbollah master terrorist Imad Mukhtar to do his dirty work. For decades Mukhtar has acted as a surrogate for Iran, blazing a trail of death and destruction across the Middle East and beyond. When Kennedy's meeting with Ashani goes disastrously wrong, Rapp and Mukhtar are set on a collision course that threatens to engulf the entire region in war. With the clock ticking, Rapp is given twenty-four hours, no questions asked, to do whatever it takes to stop Mukhtar, and avert an unthinkable catastrophe.
In Flynn's most explosive thriller yet--a #1 "New York Times" bestseller--CIA operative Mitch Rapp returns and finds himself on a collision course with America's most feared enemy. Now available in a tall Premium Edition.
Vince Flynns #1 New York Times bestseller sends counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp on a collision course with Americas most feared enemy.
No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Irans billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood. Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Irans government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe.

Back when I was a kid and we walked for miles uphill in snow to school and back, holidays were not quite the avalanche of candy that they are today. Now I'm not complaining -- I love candy as much as the next kid -- but we really do seem to be buried in candy several times a year. This year I decided to put some of it to good use and see what kind of science we can pull out of a basket of candy!
We'll start by recycling an experiment we did a month ago: measure the speed of light. We have a variety of colorful bunny peeps this year, which are better than the chicks. You can see that straight out of the box they are flat, tightly packed, and ready to be nuked in the name of science. Microwave the peeps on low for 60 seconds or so, watching them carefully. When you see the peeps start to swell, pull them out. You'll notice the pan now has a bunch of hot spots surrounded by uncooked peeps. The microwave generator inside the microwave sends out a very regular pattern of waves — and these waves have high points (nodes) and low points (anti-nodes) just like the waves you see at the beach. The high points (nodes) represent the high point of energy while the low points indicate low energy.
By measuring the distance between points we could find the wavelength — 4 5/8 inches, which we converted to the metric system and got .11178 meters. Speed (velocity in this equation) is easy to calculate: V=(wavelength)x(frequency). To find the frequency, all we had to do was open the door of the microwave — the frequency is listed on the safety panel: 2450 megahertz. A hertz (the word hertz is used for both singular and plural) means one cycle per second. A megahertz is a million cycles per second. So: V (speed) = (0.11783 meters) x (2450 x 1,000,000)=288,694,267 meters/second.
Next we decided to 'see' the motion of atoms by witnessing Brownian motion. I had Beckett and his friend and neighbor Charlie place M&Ms in three small containers, then we simultaneously filled each container with water: one with ice water, one with room temperature water, and one with near boiling water. (Parents please note-the boys poured the cold water, I poured the hot water!) We labeled the containers and observed the changes carefully. The candy in the hot water began to change immediately, while the candy in ice water changed the slowest. Charlie and Beckett both correctly identified the energy in the water as the force that removed the candy coating. The water molecules are constantly in motion, bouncing off each other constantly and bouncing into the M&Ms. The hotter the water, the more the water molecules are moving. And, as they move, the water molecules bounce 'candy' molecules off the candy.
Sticking with Brownian motion, Beckett and Charlie filled a baking pan with room temperature water and carefully dropped M&Ms in all six colors into the pan along one edge. They then placed a bag full of ice cubes and water right next to them. As in the first Brownian motion experiment, the room temperature water slowly started taking the color shell off the candy. This time, though, something different happened -- the dye started flowing away from the cold water. What is happening here is complicated. Everybody knows that water expands when frozen, unlike almost everything else in the universe which contracts when it gets colder. But water's dynamic and kinematic viscosity (viscosity means how thick the water is) also changes relative to its temperature -- which means that water flows at different rates at different temperatures. Very viscous liquids like syrup flow slowly. Liquids lacking in viscosity like rubbing alcohol flow very easily. In our experiment, adding a source of cold to an otherwise motionless body of water added a dynamic force -- as the water changed temperature, it changed how it flowed and moved, and this change in flow pushed the dye away from the cold source.
We were making a dent in our basket of candy, but there was plenty more. Moving away from atomic level science, we decided to learn about classical mechanics and build a Newton's Cradle. The Newton's Cradle (also called the executive clicker and Newton's pendulum) is perfect for demonstrating the Law of Conservation of Energy and Momentum written by Sir Isaac Newton. We built a small sturdy frame out of the wood left over from last week's work experiment, then drilled into some jawbreakers. We took a needle and dental floss (or you can use a very sturdy thread) and threaded the jawbreakers. Finally we measured and marked the diameter of the jawbreakers on the wooden support. Do this step carefully -- you'll want the jawbreakers just touching each other as they hang. We used thumbtacks to secure the dental floss to the support, hanging all of one side first, then turning the whole thing over and making sure that each jawbreaker was at the same level. We stood it up and started clicking and clacking. Pull one jawbreaker back and let it hit the ball adjacent to it. The ball will hit, transfer its energy to next ball, which will transfer its energy to the next ball, which will transfer its energy to the next ball, which will fly up taking most of the energy of the first ball with it. Now go eat an apple!
Next, I had Beckett just take a look at a bag of candy. We poured it out and arranged it by color. While this is more about math than science, it is a good way to have kids start thinking about the world in a 'math' way. Notice the distribution of colors is not uniform: 10 red, 8 brown, 12 yellow, 16 green, 12 orange, and 13 blue. While the factory workers don't care how many of a given color are in any particular bag, they do aim to have roughly equal numbers of each color in a bag (though there may be a marketing plan behind all the green ones.) Why are there different numbers of each color? Try this with any loose candy -- jelly beans, Skittles, Starburst, Spree. The more candy you collect, the more the numbers will approach each other.
Finally, we'll end with a classic. When I was a kid it seemed like every year someone had a 'guess how many of these things' are in this jar or container. Jelly beans in a jar, watermelons in a truck, pennies in a piggy bank. While this is a math problem, it has great value to many different branches of science. So, how many M&M candies are there in my 1/3 cup? You can figure it out several different ways. First, you could measure as accurately as possible a single candy to find its volume, then divide the volume of the 1/3 cup by the volume of a single candy. You could count the candies, individually, one by one. You could weigh one and figure out how much a certain volume weighs then work backwards. I will mail a king size pack of M&Ms to the first person to guess how many candies are in the picture to the left and leave a comment below!
If you still have candy left after all this, well, give me a call. I'll be glad to help you out!

CUMBERLAND — Tolman High head coach Mike Kayata admitted to being less than ecstatic about his offense on Thursday night.
His defense, however, was a different story.
Excepting a lull early in the final stanza, that "D" forced most of Lincoln's 18 turnovers throughout the first half and down the stretch as the Tigers rolled to a 56-40 victory in the first semifinal of the 41st annual Boys & Girls Club of Cumberland/Lincoln Roadshow Holiday Classic at Cumberland High's Wellness Center.
CUMBERLAND — Tolman High head coach Mike Kayata admitted to being less than ecstatic about his offense on Thursday night.
His defense, however, was a different story.
Excepting a lull early in the final stanza, that "D" forced most of Lincoln's 18 turnovers throughout the first half and down the stretch as the Tigers rolled to a 56-40 victory in the first semifinal of the 41st annual Boys & Girls Club of Cumberland/Lincoln Roadshow Holiday Classic at Cumberland High's Wellness Center.
Senior tri-captain and guard Steve Otis led Tolman with a game-high 16 points while grabbing seven rebounds. Junior center/forward Nate Gagnon chipped in nine points and seven boards, and senior tri-captain Tyler Reece eight points and a team-leading 12 rebounds.
Other key contributions came from senior center/forward Denzel DePina (10 points, eight boards); sophomore guard Tyreal Whitaker; and senior Keanu Perry (three points).
Senior co-captain Tyge Joyce paced the Lions with 14 points, while sophomore Tyler Britt recorded nine and junior Steve Denio eight.
With the verdict, the Tigers now will play Woonsocket, a 69-65 victor over host Cumberland in the nightcap, in the Classic's championship tilt tonight at 7:30. The Clippers will duel Lincoln at 6 in the consolation game.
"Our defense won the game for us," Kayata stated after his club raised its record to 2-1 overall. "I thought we defended really well off their screens; that's something Lincoln loves doing. We didn't allow too many penetrations off screens, so I was happy with that.
"But our offense struggled; we weren't getting the ball to the right people like we should have," he added. "Otis was hot early on, but he cooled off. Why, I don't know, but we haven't practiced the last two days because of Christmas. That's why we came out flat. We just didn't play with much intensity, especially at the start of the second half."
Ahead 28-15 entering the break, DePina's bucket 94 seconds in doubled up the Lions at 30-15.
Head coach Kent Crooks' bunch, though, responded – and then some.
After the two foes traded buckets, Lincoln sophomore Tyler Britt came off the bench and ignited his teammates. He drained a trey to make it 32-20 with 11:26 left in regulation, then hit a 16-foot jumper and a running one-hander, giving him all nine of his points in the span of 2:01.
That last basket sliced the Lions' deficit to 35-27 with 9:25 remaining.
Lincoln (1-3 overall) actually cut it to 37-32 with 7:55 still on the clock after nailing a free throw, but – over the next 4:24 – Tolman managed a 13-2 flurry of its own to put the game out of reach.
It did so due to the efforts of Gagnon (four points), Otis (an acrobatic, conventional three-point play with 4:09 left) and Reece.
All told, over the final 7:55, the Tigers outscored their opponent, 19-9. The fact the Lions went cold in that span didn't help their cause.
"Early to the midway point of the second half, our players lost Lincoln's kids on screens," Kayata stated. "We eventually forced them away from the basket, and they were settling for 15- to 17-foot jumpers. That's why we went on that run."
The Lions led briefly early on in the opening half, the last time at 5-4 after the 6-4 Denio landed a bucket.
After that, Tolman controlled the tempo, the turnover battle and the boards, and did so by way of the talents of Otis and DePina, With 13:32 left before intermission, DePina canned a free throw before junior Tyler Reece dropped a six-foot hook.
Otis mustered consecutive layups off a pair of 11 Lincoln turnovers in the stanza, then – after a Cronan 12-footer – nailed a pull-up 16-footer and a "three-bomb."
From Denio's basket at 13:43 to Gagnon's double-pump jumper at 5:36 – in the span of only 8:07 – the Tigers outscored their foes, 19-4, and coasted into the break with a 28-15 advantage.
As for the Clippers-Novans' clash, the two fought to a 33-33 deadlock at intermission.
The second session saw more of the same, as it included six ties and three lead changes, but Woonsocket utilized a late 9-2 surge to stop the hosts.
Senior tri-captain/guard Randy Reyes manufactured a game-high 21 points in the win, while classmate Blaine Desimpelaere and junior Angel Robles notched a dozen each (with six of the Novans' eight treys). Another senior, tri-captain/center Piotr Linek, posted nine.
For the Clippers (2-3 overall), senior co-captain Grant Osmundson netted 20 and talented frosh Brandon Kolek 19. Fellow senior captain Ryan Cotter helped out with 11 and classmate Joe Fine six.
Reyes landed a three-pointer with 3:50 remaining in regulation to give the Novans a 61-58 lead, and Jeovan Fortes hit a putback off his own rebound 33 ticks later to extend it.
Junior Tyler Calabro tightened the gap to 63-60 with a pair of foul shots, though Linek hit one of two freebies to push the lead to 64-60 with 2:35 left.
Cotter fouled out with 74 ticks left, and – 16 seconds later – Desimpelaere fired home a "three-ball" to put the game out of reach. For good measure, Reyes downed a couple from the charity stripe to give WHS a 69-60 lead with 27 ticks remaining.

Tri-City Water Follies officials announced the group was selected to host the American Power Boat Association's (APBA) Gold Cup July 24-26, 2015, a perfect complement to mark the 50th anniversary of unlimited hydroplane racing on the Columbia River.
The 2015 HAPO Gold Cup, named after title sponsor HAPO Community Credit Union, promises to be an exciting event for fans, attracting more boats and a greater number of races. Fifteen or more boats may race, adding another heat to the preliminaries. A Gold Cup has minimum of nine races and a maximum of 13. The event is expected to draw more than 70,000 spectators and $3 million in economic impact for Tri-Cities.
The Gold Cup is the oldest motorsports event on record with the first race held on the Hudson River in 1904. This prestigious event is likened to what the Stanley Cup is to hockey or the World Series is to baseball. The Gold Cup was last held in the Tri-Cities in 1984 and has been in Detroit since 1990.
The 2014 Visit TRI-CITIES Annual Business Meeting and Tourism Showcase will take place on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. More than 600 members, local business leaders and elected officials will gather to celebrate tourism accomplishments in the community.
The featured keynote speaker, Andrés Duany, is an internationally renowned architect whose work focuses on cities and regional planning, and will focus his lecture on the Annual Meeting's theme of "Creating a Bolder, Brighter and Better Tri-Cities." Mr. Duany and his wife, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, founded their practice Duany, Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ) in 1980. Dedicated to research, their practice now has more than 200 plans in the process of implementation. Andrés and Elizabeth were founding members of the Congress for the New Urbanism, teach at the University of Miami and have co-authored five books including Suburban Nation, The New Civic Art, The Smart Growth Manual, Garden Cities, and Landscape Urbanism and its Discontents. DPZ has been selected by the Port of Kennewick to consult on the redevelopment of Vista Field.
Immediately following the Business Meeting, attendees are encouraged to attend the Tourism Showcase, featuring more than 50 displays of tourism related businesses such as hotels, wineries, museums and attractions.
Effective Sept. 17, 2014, the Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau (TCVCB) will begin doing business as Visit Tri-Cities. As a part of the community branding initiative, the TCVCB Board of Directors voted unanimously to change the name of the organization which will coincide with the current website
"The name change will more effectively communicate our mission to promote, market and sell the region as a preferred visitor destination," explained Kris Watkins, President and CEO of Visit Tri-Cities, previously known as the Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau. "This change correlates with a growing international trend to simplify convention and visitor bureau's names. Destination marketing organizations such as Visit Spokane, Visit Seattle, Visit Pittsburg and even Visit London are solidifying this more succinct and web search-friendly change."
Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau will remain the organization's legal entity and the conversion to Visit Tri-Cities will happen in a gradual fashion. As current inventories of printed materials are depleted, they will be replaced with the new Visit Tri-Cities logo, color scheme and brand story elements. Work is underway to revamp important marketing tools including the Visit Tri-Cities website, 2015 Official Tri-Cities Visitor Guide and television commercials, all of which will be released the first quarter of 2015.

The community purchased the 100-year-old carousel more than a decade ago, and thanks to private fundraising efforts, it has been completely restored. The carousel features 45 wooden horses, hand-carved by Charles Carmel, and three chariots. A cougar and husky have also been added, paying homage to the rival state mascots. It will be one of 14 carousels in the country to feature the "brass ring." When the brass rings are dispensed, those riders who are able to grab a brass ring will be rewarded with a free ride.
The carousel rests on a 50-foot platter surrounded by brightly painted rounding boards and is housed in a glass and wooden structure allowing for year-round operation. The building has a gift shop, concession area featuring an era-replica soda fountain, event rental space, catering kitchen and back deck. The facility is scheduled to open in August at the Southridge Sports and Events Complex in Kennewick. Learn more at www.carouselofdreams.net.
But you will need to go to the Tri-Cities to cross it.
Next week we give the Tri-Cities _ Richland, Kennewick, Pasco _ some loving, while we ogle their three Columbia River bridges. We will also be there to check out the new Columbia River interpretive center/museum, called the Reach, which celebrates its grand opening July 1-6.
More than a decade in the works, the Reach will be the signature feature for the Tri-Cities, its tourism anchor, for decades to come.
Yes, the Tri-Cities have not always been thought of as the jewel of the Northwest: a hard-scrabble desert, no mountains on any horizon and the aura of Hanford, which contributed to the making of the first atom bombs, always looming over the shoulder.
But Tri-Cities has changed over the years, with its well-educated and highly paid work force. Ongoing federal cleanup at Hanford helped the area barely notice the bottom fall out when the Great Recession hit in 2008.
The metro area has grown to a population of 253,000. Think about it! All of Oregon east of U.S. 97 barely has that many people.
Tri-Cities has culture, sports, fine dining and the other things that come with a population of a quarter million.
And it also is on the cusp of becoming the undisputed capital of the Northwest wine industry, when Washington State University completes and opens a $23 million Wine Science Center in Richland next year. Walla Walla and Woodinville will always have more tasting rooms, but Richland will have the main wine research and teaching campus north of Davis, Calif., and west of Ithaca, N.Y.
So, Tri-Cities, help Portland get to know you better, beyond the great hockey rivalry between the Portland Winterhawks and Tri-City Americans. Tell us what you like best about your cities by using the form below.
I will be in the Tri-Cities area from Monday to Sunday, June 23-29, with jaunts out toward Prosser and Walla Walla thrown in. So remember, visittri-cities.com.

The Tri-Cities Visitor & Convention Bureau (TCVCB) is pleased to announce The REACH Interpretive Center, located at the west end of Columbia Park in Tri-Cities, will open its doors Tuesday, July 1. The REACH, as the center is commonly referred to, is named to reflect the heritage of the nearby Hanford Reach National Monument. The highly-anticipated opening of the 24,000-squre-foot facility will feature inspirational exhibits and galleries attracting visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Interactive, rotating exhibits, community outreach programming, special events and live performances will further enrich the visitor experience. "Adding this interpretive center to the Tri-Cities tourism portfolio gives leisure travelers, convention delegates and sports tournament participants one more reason to extend their stay in the Tri-Cities," stated Kris Watkins, President and CEO of the Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau. The TCVCB is working in close partnership with The REACH to increase awareness about the center and its many programs.
The Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau (TCVCB) is pleased to welcome three legendary regional riverboats to the Tri-Cities area this spring. The Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler, the Queen of the West and the recently resurrected American Empress will offer local residents and visitors a unique way to experience the Columbia River.
Residents throughout southeastern Washington can enjoy the local scenery from a different perspective with an authentic experience on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler. The riverboat will be hosting brunch, lunch and dinner cruises along the Tri-Cities shoreline.
Both the Queen of the West and the American Empress will bring visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest to the Tri-Cities community for one day during each vessel's week-long cruises, which are held regularly April through November. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy local points of interest such as Sacajawea State Park, the Country Mercantile, Hanford Reach National Monument, the historic B Reactor and Washington Wine Country.

|Credit Card Theft, Fraud--Suspect Sought
|Written by Crimestoppers
|Tuesday, 29 March 2011 09:39

This is all very nice in theory, but if you don't do something about spending before you cut back taxes, this state is going to go into a nosedive because the politicians will continue to insist on spending even when the money is not there.
Also, I have lived in a state with no income tax and I can readily attest that the near-utopia you promise will never arrive.
State governments, as with any governments, want to spend, spend, spend. Tennessee is no exception. While they cannot spend income tax monies as they have no income tax, they can raise the sales tax at whim. And they have. When I was in high school (early nineties) it was at six percent and some fraction. When I went back in 1999 it was around eight to nine percent. Now it's ten percent and over. This includes, in the Memphis area, the state's base rate plus local and city.
End result is the retail sector is always suffering because the unique geography of the state means that people in the major cities and surrounding bergs can just cross the state line to go shopping. There's almost zero manufacturing in Tennessee anymore so the retail and service industries are just about it. I guess the only one still doing OK is the distribution sector in Memphis but there is no stepping-over-the-state-line equivalent to getting work done at the Fed Ex hub. Only geography is saving that particular industry though–right at the junction of the most central north-south and east-west interstate highways in the United States. And not everyone can work in distribution.
Also, the sales tax system in Tennessee does not provide exemption for food purchases. This translates to being held up for ten percent of your grocery purchase just so you won't starve. Guess which demographic is impacted most by this. There was a time I sold plasma to have enough money to eat while I was between jobs and it really hurt me to have to pay that tax. People on food stamps must have it even worse because the food stamp program is supposed to be supplemental, not pay for a month's full grocery costs, and you are not exempt from sales tax just because you're on government benefits.
I realize Ohio does not have a food tax (other than on certain types of junk food) just yet. But if the state gets desperate enough for monies (or thinks it is), that may change. If you think it's theft to have to pay income tax, how much more theft must it be to threaten someone with starvation if they won't let you have a tenth of their food bill every time they go to the grocery store.
As for Ohio college grads wanting to stay in Ohio rather than leave, look again at Memphis. It's a rathole. Crooked politicians settle themselves in for decades at a time, devastate the city and then disappear into the night. I just witnessed a HS friend, via Facebook, relocate from Memphis to Minneapolis because she has two small children and could not stand the thought of raising them in Memphis. Almost no one I went to school with who is still in or near that town has anything nice to say about it–or about most of the rest of the state either. If they didn't have family right there, or friends they really cared about, or if a job offer came from elsewhere that was too good to be true, they'd probably all leave. Some already have.
Not having an income tax probably wasn't what devastated the city, but it sure isn't saving it either.
If this is what you want for Ohio, sir, knock yourself out. Don't count on it solving anything though. I'm sorry you don't like the poor paying fewer taxes than you do, but making it harder for them to survive isn't going to solve anything.
And before you say "Florida", allow me to point out that they're only keeping their heads above water because of tourism. They have a lot more of it than Tennessee does. We have even less, because no one outside this state thinks of Ohio as a typical vacation destination. I doubt the casinos will change that very much.
We need better thinking from third parties and better options than this one if a significant number of Americans are ever going to defect from Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Hate to say it, but it's true.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
In the newspaper business you never know what to expect when the phone rings. Often its someone with a news tip or a carrier missed the delivery of a newspaper to a house. Sometimes it's a complaint and there are times when people just want information.
This past week I had the most delightful conversation with a woman form California that used to live in the area.
At first she just wanted to thank me for the editorial I wrote a few weeks ago about poppies and to let me know that "In Flanders Fields," was also one of her favorite poems. We chatted about the American Legion Auxiliary selling poppies and the poem I referred to "We Shall Not Sleep," which was John McCrae's first poem about the poppy fields of Flanders, France.
The woman was Jeannine Meiller Lewis of Alhambra, Calif. (northeast of Los Angeles) and she said that she faithfully reads the Sun Advocates web page every Tuesday and Thursday.
"I love your new, improved web page," she said.
Jeannine grew up in Kenilworth, attending her elementary school years there before her family moved to Spring Glen. She spent four years at the "middle school" there before the family moved west to California. Her sister still lives in this area.
She was particularly excited about the editorial because it brought back memories of her selling poppies as a member of the 4-H club on the corner near the Bonnie Theatre in Helper.
It was one of those conversations that could have lasted forever as we talked about growing up and memorizing poetry in school and life in small communities.
It didn't dawn on me how much I was enjoying the visit until Jeannine mentioned that she had been a correspondent for the Helper Journal back in the mid 1940's. With excitement still in her voice she talked about her first job at 12 years old and how she walked into the newspaper office and was hired to write the news for Spring Glen. She recalls getting five cents an inch for her stories and remembers all the news that she gathered each week; news that we never see in today's newspapers.
This brought back many memories for me because my first job as a reporter back in 1976 for the Phillips County News in Malta, Mont. entailed some of the same types of stories.
One of the assignments I had each Monday morning was to call at least 20 people in the community to find out who they visited over the weekend, where they "motored" to, who was the guest speaker at church or what awards their children may have received the previous week.
As a young reporter in my 20's I dreaded those calls. They seem to take forever and many of the people I had to call would go on and on, simply wanting to visit and tell me about all their adventures.
The only time I got in trouble with my publisher was the morning I forgot to call the most "newsworthy women in town," who had never been missed for over 20 years. I had failed to call her for her weekly update. You can be sure I never forgot her again, in fact her name was moved to the top of my call list.
Jeannine, on the other hand, as an enthusiastic 12 year old loved the calls and felt as though she was connected to the entire Spring Glen community through her weekly column.
"I remember that one call led to another, then another and I loved that they kept me so busy," she said as we chatted, adding, "they printed anything and everything that I observed or reported."
Jeannine said that with so many nationalities in Spring Glen she got such a different and exciting look at a community with many cultures. If anyone has a copy of one of her old columns from either 1945 or 1946 I would love to find a copy and send it to her.
I remember that first newspaper I worked at and some of the rural communities we covered, such as Forks, Loring, Saco, Dodson, all smaller towns and communities just south of the Canadian border in Central Montana. Sometimes I still think of myself as a kid just starting out in the newspaper business, until I look at the receding hairline.
But as I age I love looking at the past and at the way we use to put newspapers together and remember those days with a lot of pride. Phone calls like the one from Jeannine Lewis make all of the less pleasant ones so worth while. I can't imagine doing any other job.

We all have our go-to people to consult when we're faced with a dilemma. Whether it's a tutor to help with an impossible homework assignment or an accountant to file our dizzyingly complicated taxes, it makes sense to call upon those with specific know-how to help us out. After all, these are people who've spent considerable time honing their skills, making them astoundingly good at what they do-a description that also applies to today's eight tastemakers, each of whom has an undeniable talent in the style department! Take for example, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who has '60s-chic dressing down to a T, or Into the Gloss' Emily Weiss, who can take boyish basics and turn them into a glamorous look with just a few accessories. We can all learn a thing or two from the lovely ladies of this month's Styling Tips, so read on for all the details of their ensembles, plus ideas on how to mimic their looks!
Tip # 1: Update boyish separates with chic metallic accessories.
For this month's edition of Styling Tips, we couldn't help but include one of our favorite girls-in-the-know, Emily Weiss. We love her popular beauty site, Into the Gloss, and adore her flawless style just as much! Case in point: the brunette stunner attended the Vogue Celebrates the Gap 1969 Experience party in New York last month wearing a slew of adorably laddish pieces from the beloved retailer, including a v-neck sweater, skinny pants, and the Pyramid Stud Clutch ($25). Weiss masterfully mixed these thrifty thrills with high-end accessories, namely Balenciaga shoes, Eddie Borgo bracelets, and a Repossi ring. The metallic accents add some glamour to her boyish separates, resulting in a truly stellar ensemble! With Weiss' outfit in mind, we suggest adding some glitz to your menswear-inspired essentials via Belle Noel's Cutout Wide Cuff ($65), Links of London's Friendship Bracelet ($225), and Zara's Patchwork Sandals ($129).
Tip # 2: Style a tribal-print top with vibrant solid shorts.
Lately, we just can't get enough of Solange Knowles' outfits; her wonderfully eclectic aesthetic has definitely won over our hearts! The songstress made us giddy yet again with her look at the Band of Outsiders S/S 12 show earlier this month. Her formula was simple: start with a graphic-print top, and then add bright, tailored shorts metallic heels, and Lia Sophia's Rough Necklace with Turquoise Resin ($350) for a party-perfect look! Eager to mimic her savvy styling? We recommend picking up Vintage Havana's Tribal Burnout Tee ($53) and teaming it with either Mother's Frayed Hem Stretch Corduroy Shorts ($176) or J. Crew's 5" Chino Shorts ($43) for a similarly enchanting ensemble!
Tip # 3: Punch up neutral pieces with a pair of tailored red pants.
Whether you're a die-hard fan of color or tend to stick to neutrals, you really should consider adding a pair of vibrant pants to your wardrobe this season. Our reasoning is simple: we spotted Meredith Melling Burke, Vogue's Senior Market Editor, wearing a pair at the Bonpoint NYC Maison Opening Party earlier this month, and think her outfit was incredibly chic. MMB allowed her cropped pants to take center stage by teaming them with sleek black and white basics, including a streamlined coat, white top, and Thakoon sandals. To achieve editor-worthy style yourself, consider picking up Aqua's Skinny Pants ($88), Alexander McQueen's Crepe Ankle Pants ($765), or Topshop's Cerise Ankle Grazer Trousers ($76). Whichever option you choose, you're sure to step out in style!
Tip # 4: Polish a minimalist look with a snakeskin clutch.
When it comes to adding accessories to an outfit, striking the right balance between ho-hum and over-the-top isn't always an easy task. That said, when we spot someone with a knack for choosing pitch-perfect finishing touches, we simply have to feature her! Case in point: Chloe Moretz, who attended the Calvin Klein Collection S/S 12 show last week wearing a chic ensemble by the storied brand, comprised of the Star Silk Dress ($3325, 212.292.9000), Beam Patent Shoes ($695, 212.292.9000), and Pumice Python Bag ($1295, 212.292.9000). Her reptilian clutch enlivened her otherwise pared-down outfit for one flawlessly well-balanced look! Take a cue from Moretz and add a snakeskin clutch to your repertoire of after-dark accessories; we think MICHAEL Michael Kors' Sloan Snake Embossed Leather Clutch ($228), DKNY's Snake-Embossed Leather Clutch ($225), and Beirn's Cobra Envelope Clutch ($324) all fit the bill wonderfully!
Tip # 5: Try a pair of ultra-wide pants this season.
Feeling a bit daring this season, dear readers? Then why not emulate Amanda Brooks and try a pair of ultra-wide trousers come fall! The ever-so-stylish Barneys New York Fashion Director attended the opening of Tory Burch's New York flagship store last week wearing a voluminous, pleated pair, which she smartly balanced with a lacey Maje by Vanessa Traina tank top and a Celine bag. We think the pants' billowing silhouette makes for a fantastic, easy-breezy outfit, plus they look super comfortable, no? To make a statement a la Brooks, we suggest snagging Topshop's Premium Wide Leg Trousers ($106), Theyskens' Theory's Proquo Pleated Wide Leg Trousers ($575), or Free People's Super Wide Leg Pants ($88).
Tip # 6: Pair a '60s dress with tall leather boots for a mod look.
We love 1960s fashion in all its mod-to-psychedelic glory, but the look can easily become too costume-y. For guidance on wearing pieces inspired by this era in the right way, consider emulating Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's top-notch styling at New York Fashion Week. Snapped at the Michael Kors show, the model showed off a smart ensemble comprised of a nude shift dress and leather below-the-knee boots, both by the designer himself. We appreciate how the neutral colors gave her outfit a modern twist and kept it from feeling like a literal interpretation of the mod look. Craving a similar retro vibe? Channel Swinging London with a chic, short shift dress, such as Shoshanna's Plaid Pocket Shift Dress ($319), and then add a pair of tall boots, like Frye's Dorado Riding Boots ($498) or Free People's Vertigo Vamp Boot ($160), both of which are guaranteed to put some pep in your step!
Tip # 7: Create a glam evening look with a flared jumpsuit.
A jumpsuit never fails to make a bold impression, which is why we wholeheartedly suggest investing in one for fall. If you're searching for a foolproof way to wear this look, consider Olivia Wilde your guide. The actress attended the Ralph Lauren Collection S/S 12 show last week wearing a head-to-toe ensemble from the designer's F/W 11 collection, including the Alton Bodysuit ($1098, select Ralph Lauren stores), Art Deco Leather Belt ($495, available in green), and Lizard Long Deco Clutch ($2750, select Ralph Lauren stores). What do we love most about this outfit, you might ask? The wide-leg silhouette is definitely on-trend, while the artsy belt and vibrant clutch certainly up the chic factor. To recreate her au courant styling for yourself, don't miss Free People's Lace Insert Romper ($98) and Vince's Jumpsuit ($295), as both will invoke some Studio 54-esque glamour!
Tip # 8: Toughen up your maxi dress with a leather jacket.
If you're looking for wardrobe inspiration, you simply can't go wrong with Rachel Zoe. Her spot-on sensibilities never cease to amaze us, and the ensemble she wore for an appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue last month was no exception. She expertly juxtaposed a flowing maxi dress with a sleek leather blazer-both from the Rachel Zoe Resort 12 collection-resulting in the perfect combination of sugar and spice! Emulate Zoe's A+ styling with Diane von Furstenberg's Night Clouds-Print Maxi Dress ($545), and add Alexander Wang's Leather Front Blazer ($895) or Baguda's Leather Jacket ($298) to finish off your outfit.-Erin Fitzpatrick
