Thursday, December 27, 2012
By Joseph Andrew Lee
When there's a crisis, U.S. troops are often the first to get the call. From snowstorms to hurricane flooding to humanitarian assistance to international incidents, America's troops are always on alert to be deployed.
And when our troops are the first responders, USO staffers and volunteers could often be considered second responders: always at the ready to assist those on the frontlines.
Here's a look at three extreme situations where the USO has lent a hand:
Weathering a Superstorm
The USO's response to Superstorm Sandy began even before the wind and rain died down.
Joan Ashner, a volunteer with USO of Metropolitan New York, walked 50 blocks as the storm raged around her to open the USO center in New York's Times Square in case Joint Task Force Empire Shield troops needed a break.
"If there are troops on duty," she said, "the USO must also be on duty."
As it turned out, Empire Shield troops – National Guardsmen tasked with preventing terrorist attacks in New York – were diverted elsewhere and the Port Authority forced the USO center to close until the storm passed.
Ashner was back less than 48 hours later and two Mobile USOs vehicles (pictured at left) from North Carolina and Virginia were headed north to support the more than 7,000 National Guardsmen deployed to the region for the relief and cleanup effort.
The capabilities of the two Mobile USO lounges provided troops with entertainment, thanks to a 46-inch LCD television with state-of-the-art home theater and digital satellite systems, as well as an Xbox 360 gaming system and phone and Internet connectivity.
Army National Guard Capt. J.C. Bravo of the 369th Regiment Armory in Harlem said his soldiers were working hard, but called it "a great benefit to have the presence of the USO out there."
"There are a lot of physically and emotionally difficult jobs we get tasked with as soldiers," Capt. Bravo said. "Responding to a disaster situation here at home can be one of the most taxing because we're so close to it. In many cases these are local men and women who are also affected by the disaster, and their families may also be struggling.
"Whether it's in Southwest Asia or Southeast Manhattan, support from the USO is always appreciated. It makes it that much easier for us to do our duty."
Tragedy in Benghazi
For the dozens of Americans on the ground in Benghazi, Libya, Sept. 11 brought another terrifying scene that left several wounded and four dead, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
But when the C-17 carrying the evacuees touched down at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the USO was ready to provide comfort at the end of a horrifying ordeal.
"You could just tell [what they'd been through] by the looks on their faces," said Konrad Braun, area director of USO Kaiserslautern.
Dozens of evacuees stepped off the plane around 10 p.m. on Sept. 12, many possessing only the clothes on their backs.
When Braun learned the Americans – mostly State Department employees – would be arriving, he rounded up a group of 11 USO staffers and two volunteers who filled a van with assorted clothing items before assuring the USO center at the Joint Mobility Processing Center was stocked with snacks, toiletries, laptops and televisions. Hot meals were also provided.
Within 24 hours – and with help from global strategic partner TKS – the USO provided cell phones to evacuees loaded with enough minutes for 10 hours of calls back to America.
"Even though these were not service members, they were serving our country," Braun said. "We had the resources available and the will, and we executed both of those."
Snowed In
The numerical date was 1-11-11 and the 1 millionth service member since 9/11 was scheduled to come home on R&R, arriving that morning at the Hartsfield-Atlanta International Airport. The USO of Georgia had a special challenge coin minted for the occasion and planned to present it to each serviceman and woman on the flight.
Inside the airport, USO of Georgia CEO Mary-Lou Austin was hard at work making the final arrangements for the ceremony. But outside, a freak snowstorm was dumping half a foot of snow on the city of Atlanta.
An announcement soon came over the airport intercom: all flights out of Atlanta had been cancelled.
Without snowplows, taxi services and hotel shuttles had to be shut down. Thousands of stranded travelers, including hundreds of military personnel, staked a claim anywhere they could find an available chair or plot of carpet.
Austin picked up the phone and called her special operations team – two of her most dedicated volunteers, Jack and Pat Horvath.
Jack retired from Fort Benning as a lieutenant colonel in 2005. He and his wife, Pat, have lived in the Atlanta area since 1980 and over the years they have become the go-to team for expeditionary volunteer service for the USO of Georgia.
With nearly 30 years of collective volunteerism between them, the Horvaths are prepared to handle even the most difficult and stressful volunteer mission. After Hurricane Katrina, the couple volunteered to board a Mobile USO dispatched from Virginia Beach on its way to the disaster area. They spent weeks traveling throughout the South, providing meals and other services to displaced troops and their families.
This time, Mother Nature struck closer to home. The Horvaths again answered the call, taking turns sleeping and handing out food and drinks to hundreds of troops who poured in to the airport center. Occasionally, a civilian would show up in line, and, of course, they were fed just the same.
"The people just kept on coming," Jack said, "but we were glad to see them because we had food and drinks to give them. If it weren't for the USO, I'm not sure what they would have done. They couldn't leave and nothing was open. They would have gone hungry."
At any given time, 50 to 60 troops were sleeping in the center, occupying every square foot of available space. More than 800 men and women in uniform logged in to the center throughout the night and that only includes those who actually came inside.
When day broke, the 1 millionth troop to arrive on R&R was still celebrated, albeit a little differently than planned.
"There was supposed to be a band, dignitaries, a cake and everything," Jack said. "Obviously we weren't going to have all that, but we still had to do something."
Each troop who arrived on the R&R plane the next morning was presented with a coin and a USO goodie bag and then told the bad news: they too were now stranded in the Hartsfield-Atlanta International Airport.
"Jack and I will remember that night for the rest of our lives," Pat Horvath said. "Not because it was a particularly challenging evening – though it was – but because we cherish moments like that: opportunities to be there when the troops really need us."

GOUVERNEUR Rides, animal exhibits, local bands and cotton candy are only some of the attractions that will bring the entire county together in Gouverneur this week for the 162nd annual Gouverneur & St. Lawrence County Fair.
The fair begins today and runs through Sunday, and offers free admission to the public with a $5 parking fee. Rides and shows will vary in price.
We try to make this a family fun fair and affordable, said Donald A. Peck, fair manager.
Mr. Peck said many people were bringing their cattle Monday and early today to the fairgrounds as vendors, concession stands and rides were being set up.
The rides are just coming in now and theyll be setting up today and tomorrow, he said Monday. We open at 4 p.m. to the public tomorrow for rides, and theres also harness racing tomorrow during the day.
Vicky M. Bice, Gouverneur, was at the fairgrounds Monday setting up her tent and new merchandise representing her shop, Bice Commodity. She said she has been participating in the fair for 15 years selling items such as oil lamps, candles, porcelain dolls and several other items.
Madisyn R. Wright, 9, and her sister Bailey E., 7, also spent most of Monday at the fairgrounds helping their father, John A. Wright, set up and get ready for the week. Mr. Wright is the owner of a cattle farm called Wright-Way, 3719 County Route 17.
Theres a lot of work and a lot of preparation and getting ready, Mr. Wright said.
Madisyn said she is excited about the fair because she owns three cows to show and her sister owns two.
I like going in the ring and watching all the people watch me when Im showing cattle, she said.
Mr. Wright said this will be his 24th year showing cattle at the fair, and altogether the family will show 18 cows, including Holsteins, Jerseys, Brown Swiss and shorthorns. Mr. Wright said he shows cattle at the county, state and national levels.
Basically, we use this county fair as a qualifier, he said. If our animals do well here, then they go on to state level.
Mr. Peck said the fair has one of the largest cattle shows in the Northeast.
I think theres over 440 head of cattle, he said.
Mr. Peck said that in the past, the fair has had a huge impact on the community, bringing approximately 30,000 people out from all over the county and state to participate in the festivities.
Some people here this week will call next week and ask when the fair will be held next year, because they schedule their vacations around the fair and they come from hundreds of miles away, he said. Even some high school classes plan their reunions around fair week.
Mr. Peck said he hopes the weather will cooperate with the weeks activities.
Good fair weather is overcast; not too hot and no rain, he said.
Rides are being provided by Coleman Bros. Shows.
Mr. Peck said people can find more fair information and a list of scheduled events at www.gouverneurfair.net.

Down on the farm, Triple-A Norfolk's Steve Johnson was removed after two innings tonight with a strained groin muscle.
Johnson allowed a hit and walked a batter before coming out of the Tides' game against the Pawtucket Red Sox. Willie Eyre replaced him.
May 19, 2012 6:32 PM by Steve Melewski
Steve Johnson left his start tonight for Triple-A Norfolk due to a strained groin. He had pitched two scoreless innings on 31 pitches against Pawtucket to lower his ERA to 2.62. They won't know how long he might be out until they take a closer look at him tomorrow.

Departments of Biological and Physical Sciences
Alpha Epsilon Delta
AED is the world's largest honor society exclusively serving premedical education. The mission of the Society is to encourage and recognize excellence in premedical scholarship; to stimulate an appreciation of the importance of premedical education; to promote communication between medical and premedical students and educators; to provide a forum for students with common interests; and to use its resources to benefit health organizations, charities and the community.
The Mississippi Eta Chapter seeks to provide our members with the opportunity to meet with various professionals within the medical community, pre-health advisors, and admissions officers from various professional schools. Additionally, we work to provide our members with the necessary information (such as application deadlines, course requirements, and interview strategies) that is vital to successfully gaining admission to professional school and for succeeding once you get there. Our members are also encouraged to participate in community services.

Dr. John Tiftickjian
|2013-14 AED officers, from left to right: Jacob Thompson (Secretary-Treasurer), Kayla Thornton (Historian), Robert Barnes (Vice-President), Jack Tharp (President)
Why should I join AED?
When you apply to a medical school or other health-related professional school, admissions committees look for several things in your application. Most important are: excellent scholarship, admission exam scores (MCAT), extracurricular involvement, health care experience, and letters of recommendation. Just going to class and making excellent grades is not enough. You must be involved with activities other than academics that are designed to broaden your application portfolio. You can find out how to do this by joining AED. If you are serious about a health care profession, then you need to be involved with a total program of preparation. AED membership looks good on your application by itself, but as an active member, you benefit from one of AED's primary goals-to help inform and assist you in the whole pre-health student experience.
Membership requirements
Membership in AED is offered to pre-health students recognized to have superior scholastic achievement.
To be eligible for membership, you must have:
- a GPA of at least 3.2 on all college course work
- a GPA of at least 3.2 in science and math courses (BIO, CHE, PHY, MAT)
- completed at least 3 semesters of full-time course work at an accredited college or university, including at least 1 semester at Delta State.
- The minimum of 3 semesters must have been completed at the time of application. That is, you
cannot be accepted for membership while still enrolled in the 3rd semester.
How to apply for membership
AED initiates new members each Spring. Watch for notices around the Caylor-Walters building that tell you when to put in your application. The deadline for applying is usually around the 1st of April. You can pick up an application from the Biological and Physical Sciences Division office or download one here: AED application (PDF).
Health Professions FAQ
AED has an ongoing project with the intention of providing important information to new students interested in the health professions. We are assembling a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to any aspect of pre-health professions programs. That FAQ will be posted on this web site as it evolves. If you have a question about admission to medical, dental, or any other health profession school; about program requirements; about what courses to take; about how to apply for professional school; about how difficult it is to get accepted; or about ANY aspect of the pre-professional program experience, please submit to us.
Email your question to Dr. Tiftickjian at email@example.com. You can also submit questions on paper to Dr. Tiftickjian or to any AED officer or to Ms. Knight in the Divison office, Walters 180.
AED initiates new members for 2014-2015 academic year
At its annual initiation ceremony on April 24, 2014, AED welcomed 18 new members into the society for the 2014-2015 school year. These students have attained the high quality of scholarship required for membership. Welcome new members! We look forward to a productive new AED year beginning in August

next to worthless
By sky flyer
from Mesa AZ
Pick it up and casually shake it. The brush becomes detached from the handle. USE the brush, and ANY pressure exerted makes the handle detach. Using just the brush (without handle) to brush screens does work, maybe a 7 on scale of 1 - 10. But handling the brush directly bends the bristles. Not worth buying.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was disappointed with this screen cleaner because it did not work. The bristles did not do the job of cleaning my screens. The product material is very flimsy so I returned it.
cheaply made handle can't hold brush in
By 0ldmongoose

Brush head keeps falling out of handle when you roll it on screens.
The brush does the job it is intended to

It works well
noncleaning screen brush
By L.D.
from Caledonia, Mi
This brush/roller fell apart the very first time I tried to use it.
Not real effective
By Kat the mom
from washington, mo
This is a great idea, however it fell short because the bristles are neither plentiful, nor strong enough to get the cottonwood seed and other stuff off the screens. Best thing I have found to clean screens, without water and soap, is my vacuum cleaner.

Dr. Gaultier has been my primary care physician since 1998. He is THE BEST! I feel so fortunate in having him care for me. He is extremely knowledgable and caring, great follow-up and always spends adequate time with you. An incredible physician and a wonderful human being!

Not sure about the knowledge, did not visit his practice long to experience what other patients are stating. Arrogant, condescending, unacceptably late at rendering test results after numerous phone calls. Generally unavailable. Not recommended.

Great communicator under all circumstances.

Very responsive under urgent circumstances. Very knowledgeable, reassuring, helpful, and calm. Great attitude. Dr. Gaultier made me feel very comfortable, and sure that everything was being done promptly and adequately as a heathcare professional. He also has a very nice personality. Which I value as it is important to be able to have an honest, direct, channel of communication with your doctor. I recommend him without question.

FYI: Dr. G is now with Desert Primary Care in Palm Springs. In my 18+ years of dealing with HIV, he's the finest doctor I've worked with. Caring, calm, witty, smart and always on top of the latest advances. I'm driving out to PS so that I can keep him as my primary care physician. I recommend him without reservation.

Public transport is poor everywhere but the city centre, so most visitors hire a car, particularly if planning excursions from the city. Driving can be confusing; however, experienced drivers should cope if they have a GPS. For trips within the city or to the Atlantic beaches minibus taxis are cheap and convenient and can be hailed by adventurous travellers anywhere along their route, but the vehicles are often in bad condition and the driving can be appalling. Passengers should expect to pay around ZAR 7 for most journeys within the city, but are cautioned against getting into an empty minibus. The new MyCiti buses are safe and reliable, with increasing reach in the city; however, passengers must purchase a card from a depot before riding. Tourists are advised to avoid the trains, with the exception of the Simon's Town line, which runs past Muizenberg and along the stunning False Bay coast. Pick pocketing is rife and there have been several attacks on passengers. Taxis are expensive but are a good option at night for those without a car. Public transport should not be taken after dark and the outlying township areas should be avoided at all costs unless on an organised tour.
Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Round, three-pin plugs are standard.
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into 100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards are widely accepted. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs, as con artists are known to operate there. All commercial banks will exchange foreign currency.
The international access code for South Africa is +27. GSM mobile phone networks providing 900 and 1800 frequencies serve the country, and there are roaming agreements with most international mobile operators. Mobile service providers offer very cheap 'pay-as-you-go' SIM cards, which are a good option for visitors staying for some time. Internet cafes are available. Card and coin operated pay phones are also widespread.

Cape Town, on the Cape Peninsula, has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry, sunny summers and cold, wet winters. Seasons are well defined, with winter, between June and September, being influenced by a series of cold fronts that cross the peninsula from the Atlantic Ocean. Winters are characterised by heavy rain, strong northwesterly winds, and low temperatures. In summer Cape Town is warm and dry, but the idyllic sunny weather is often punctuated with strong southeasterly winds. The average temperatures in Cape Town in the summer range between 61°F (16°C) and 79°F (26°C) and in winter average between 47°F (8°C) and 64°F (18°C).

How to Choose the Perfect Dog Bed:
- Since your dog spends a good chunk of his life turning around three times then sleeping, the right bed is essential for his comfort and well-being. And there are a lot of choices out there, from frou-frou to functional. You and your pooch can relax, though, since we've got tips to help pick the perfect perch...
- Watch your dog sleep. Does he usually curl up or stretch out? If he's relaxed to the max, make sure the bed is big enough to support his entire body. Measure him lying down then add 12 inches to give him plenty of room
- Dogs don't like to feel as if they're being snuck up on, especially when they're trying to sleep, and the popular bolster bed, with its high back, gives them a safe, cozy haven. This type is also great for dogs who like a nice pillow to rest their weary heads. Plus, it prevents drafts and protects the walls.
- Thick orthopedic mattresses, filled with medical-grade foam or even a boxspring, are just the ticket for older dogs. Some even come heated. You can also purchase a separate heating pad that warms in the microwave or plugs into the wall for the ultimate in comfort.
- Cot-style beds are nice for dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors or visiting kennels. It keeps them cooler in summer and off the drafty floor in winter. More traditional-style cushioned outdoor beds are made of tough polyester and resist mildew and fungus.
- Little dogs like to burrow in and nest, so these small round pillow-type beds are the best. They come in all kinds of colors and materials, and many of them you can toss right in the washing machine (the beds, not the dogs!).
- Sick of sharing your furniture with your dog? Why not get him his own chair or sofa to stretch out and nap on? Sure, they're expensive. But aren't they worth it?
- There are also tons of cute novelty beds available for the toy set, from glamorous slipper-shaped cushions to leopard-spotted faux-fur pillows to the "Furrari" of resting spots...
- Sure, I hear you saying, all these specialty beds are great, but what if I just want the basics? Not to worry. Dog beds today come in all shapes, sizes, colors, patterns and prices to suit any dog and any decor. Some can even be personalized. Most are stuffed with polyfill, often have cedar chips to repel odors and their covers are removable and machine washable. So rest easy...
Package Included:
- 1 x Pet Bed

Delmonico has totaled 11 home runs on the year which I think is actually pretty impressive considering he was on the DL for a decent chunk of the season. However, over the last 5 games he's hit 3 home runs. Sure it's an extremely small sample size but I think it's a good sign of things to come. I would like to him be a little more selective and bring that average up some but I think that'll come in time as it's still just his first full year in pro ball.
From what I've read on him his swing has a natural knack for lifting the ball however I don't think he'll ever have plus power. I would guess he's probably in the 20 to 25 hr range as his body fills out and reaches his peak.
Has anyone seen him hit in person some this year? How are his at bats?

PAWTUCKET — There are coffee drinkers who describe their favorite brew as "regular" or "light with two sugars." Then there are others whose assessment would go something like this: "a heavy, syrupy body and flavors of brown sugar and crème brulee give way to nectarine acidity and a clean, dry grapefruit finish."
For those in the latter category of caffeine consumption, New Harvest Coffee Roasters is truly "cool beans." The artisan coffee roastery, located in Hope Artiste Village, sells its select coffees wholesale to food markets, bakeries, restaurants and coffee shops. However, the company goes beyond order fulfillment to education and training—and a desire to teach the world how to make a great cup of coffee.
New Harvest was founded in 2000 by Rik Kleinfeldt and Paula Anderson. Kleinfeldt knew more than a thing or two about java, having spent nine years as manager of the Coffee Exchange on Wickenden Street in Providence. He began his own coffee company in a humble shed on the site of the old Washburn Wire factory in Rumford, and six years later moved to a much larger space inside the Hope Artiste mill at 1005 Main St. in Pawtucket.
Today, New Harvest produces about 6,000 pounds of coffee a week from its bright and modern suite of renovated office space. Two large roasting machines occupy a main room, while in an adjacent space, the packaging and labeling is done. Here, a rack holds rolls of labels, some featuring the unique blend names such as "Cafe Marika" and "Franny's Breakfast Blend" (named for Kleinfeldt and Anderson's daughters) and the "Cycledrome" and "Streamroller" varieties, based on now-defunct Rhode Island icons. "My two-and-a-half year-old son doesn't have a blend named after him yet, but I'm sure that will come," Kleinfeldt joked.
As stated on his website, Kleinfeldt notes that every step of the coffee-making process, from growing to processing to harvesting to roasting and finally to brewing—requires care, attention and most of all, passion, about the end result. He seeks out small farms where a direct relationship can be formed with the growers and a dialogue can take place about the expectations for the coffee that will be eventually be roasted.
New Harvest's facility, which employs 13, includes a repair shop for coffee machines and espresso makers. It also features something more unusual—a woodshop--where, in the spirit of sustainability, the company recycles wooden pallets into serving counters and other cafe furniture. "We try to re-use as much as we can," Kleinfeldt says, noting that much of the office is furnished with the recycled pallet designs.
Kleinfeldt is proud to show off his spacious Training Center. Here, food service employees (or coffee enthusiasts) are taught the inside secrets of how to make the optimal cup of coffee, espresso, cappuccino or latte. For some, this means learning the proper way to use an industrial-style espresso/cappuccino maker while others focus on the art of smaller-scale manual brewing with a pour-over dripper or a French press.
The Training Center is where New Harvest holds a "public coffee cupping" almost every Friday at 3 p.m. and the first Saturday of every month at 1 p.m. Similar to a wine tasting, these free events offer a chance for people to sample the various blends and java jive about their likes and dislikes.
At the entrance to New Harvest is a coffee take-out station, which also features pastry items from another local business, Seven Stars Bakery. The coffee bar, open 8 a.m to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, is popular with the other tenants of Hope Artiste Village and members of the local community.
Kleinfledt notes that there are many variables involved with coffee-making, ranging from the type of roast and consistency of the grind to the quality of water and the length of time the coffee is left standing in a thermal container. The lessons include the finer points of barista training, such as how long to steam the milk for a cappuccino to creating an artistic swirl on the surface of a latte.
When asked about his own idea of the "perfect" cup of coffee, Kleinfeldt says it is one made with a light roast from Kenya or Ethiopia (he likes the acidic, fruity flavors from these beans) by the pour-over dripper method of a Chemex carafe-style coffeemaker.
This fall, Kleinfeldt will plunge into a new venture: a restaurant that will occupy the refurbished Arcade building in downtown Providence. Called New Harvest Coffee & Spirits, the eatery will feature signature coffees and teas, sandwiches and pastries from Seven Stars Bakery, along with handcrafted whiskeys, beer and wine.
Kleinfeldt says he is excited about the project, and if successful, would consider adding additional locations. "We just thought it was an interesting pairing, our coffees and high quality, small batch whiskeys," he said. He also intends to showcase the beer made locally by Foolproof Brewing, the Bucket Brewery, and other local vendors. The eatery is schedule to open on Sept. 1.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
The College of Eastern Utah Lady Eagles are currently 9-12 in season play. All but three of those games have taken place in a series tournaments.
In the most recent tournament in Santa Ana, Calif., CEU placed third. The team's only loss came against the eventual tournament and defending California state champions Coast College.
The Lady Eagles lost to Coast College in the semi-final game, going 5-1 for the tournament.
After such a strong performance on the road, the Sept. 15 loss at home to Western Wyoming was even more difficult for the team to accept.
"They're a decent team, but we played horrible," coach Brent Martindale commented. "It was the one time we really didn't show up."
With such a young and inexperienced team, though, Martindale said expectations prior to the season were mixed.
"I'm happy with the progress, but not elated," he stated.
CEU has faced only one conference team this season. The Sept. 8 game against College of Southern Idaho came out in Idaho's favor, although Martindale said the team played well and kept up.
Southern Idaho is currently ranked as the number two team in the nation.
The Lady Eagles will have another difficult battle on Friday, when they host the Lady Bruins of Salt Lake Community College.
SLCC is the third ranked team in the National Junior College Athletic Association polls.
Martindale said the Salt Lake team has taken a big step up from last season, with a strong returning team leader and three international recruits lurking on the court.
The Lady Eagles will spend much of their time in practice working on finding and exploiting the weaknesses of the Lady Bruins, according to Martindale.
Friday's game against Salt Lake Community College will begin at 7 p.m. at the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center.

Perriello reflects voters
Though he has received significant bad press locally, notably in letters to the editor by ultra-conservatives, Representative Tom Perriello accurately reflects the sum and substance of voters of the 5th District who put him in office. Two issues stand out as targets for criticism: energy and health care.
One of my greatest privileges in Congress is serving on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and its Health Subcommittee, where I am committed to ensuring quality health coverage for those who have served our country. With rumors and misunderstandings continuing to spread about health insurance reform, I want to clear up any confusion regarding how health reform will affect veterans and military personnel.
The Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library celebrates Confederate History Month with a series of stories about Bedford County locations that played a role in the War Between the States.
This week we feature the home "Fancy Farm." The following appears in the book "The Peaks of Otter, Life and Times" by Peter Viemeister:
Political fallout from the health care battle is still being recorded, even as many Americans are beginning to realize the justice and the decency of universal health care.
I hope everyone saw the picture on the front page of the March 27 Roanoke Times. Hundreds of people were lined up to take advantage of an annual dental care clinic that's offered free. There they were, the uninsured in full view, getting up early, probably before dawn, to stand in line for the care that they can't afford.
Now that ObamaCare has been signed into law, we are stuck with the same sort of socialist monstrosity that is contributing to the slow suffocation of Europe's economies.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
There are two things you can count on in the United States: Decency always triumphs in our public policies in the end; conservatives fight it every step of the way.
So it's been in the long battle over health care reform, finally signed into law after the courageous efforts of President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and one great American who wasn't here to see the fruits of his life-long labor, Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.
"I think this is a reasonable budget." — District 4 school board member Gary Hostutler
Mr. Hostutler is absolutely correct. The budget the county school board adopted is a reasonable budget. It's not perfect, but it is reasonable.
Thanks for
keeping schools open
I would like to say thanks to our Board of Supervisors and School Board members for keeping our schools open for the future of all our children, and staff.
I know this was a tough decision for all of them. Our schools are very important to us and our community.
Also a big thanks to everybody from Thaxton and Body Camp for all the time spent working together as a community.
Nancy Walker
President Barack Obama: "...At a time when the pundits said it was no longer possible, we rose above the weight of our politics ... we proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges. We proved that this government -- a government of the people and by the people -- still works for the people.
"...Today's vote answers the prayers of every American who has hoped deeply for something to be done about a health care system that works for insurance companies, but not for ordinary people.
Keep schools open
As a citizen of Bedford County and a resident of the Body Camp Community, I believe there are more options than closing schools.
To mention a few: 1) Stop allowing maintenance employees who are not on call 24 hours to drive school board vehicles home. Stopping this would free up vehicle up vehicle and gas funds that can be used elsewhere. 2) Start cutting salaries from the top down, beginning with Central Office personnel. 3) Stop running activity buses.
In recent weeks, I have heard from dozens of Virginians regarding the 2010 Census. The U.S. Constitution requires that every ten years the government take a census to count the population. Many Virginians have already received their 2010 Census questionnaire in the mail, and I encourage you to take a few minutes to respond.
Gulf War illness, previously called Gulf War Syndrome, is a controversial diagnosis, and some have questioned whether it really exists.
During the 2009 campaign for governor, many of us on the Democratic side tried to warn people that voting for Ken Cuccinelli for attorney general would be a great mistake.
The state senator had a paper trail record as an extreme right-winger who had demonstrated his great desire to pursue his ideological fantasies down whatever yellow brick road he could take.
Congressman Tom Perriello looks vulnerable this fall, a heartwarming thought for area conservatives.
The 2010 Census questionnaire will arrive at households throughout Virginia from March 15 through 17. Census Bureau officials ask you to watch for the 10-question form, fill it out and mail it back immediately in the provided, postage-paid envelope. Doing this will save time and money.
Interesting take
Last week's article and Letters to the editor regarding Bedford County's school budget were interesting.
A few years back, the company I work for was near bankruptcy and the employees were asked to take reduced pay and fewer paid holidays instead of more layoffs. We agreed to this because we understood that every remaining employee was necessary for the continued operation of the company. The company survives, I still have a job and continue to pay my county taxes.
One of the top concerns I hear from working families in Central and Southern Virginia is that the cost of electricity is too high. Especially throughout this tough winter, folks are dealing with brutal energy bills because Virginia state law allows power companies to hike rates before they are approved by the State Corporation Commission. While I do not have jurisdiction over the state, I am working on the federal level to bring down the cost of electricity, particularly for rural households.
It is no secret that the American people are facing a very tough economic climate. Families and small businesses are cutting back on expenses. As economic uncertainty continues, many across our nation are looking to the government for leadership during this difficult time. In these challenging economic times it is even more important for government to control spending.

CANTON A punctured natural gas line along East Main Street in the village caused a leak that forced residents of three dozen homes to evacuate for more than four hours Monday evening.
Canton volunteer firefighters and Enbridge Energy Services employees investigated the overwhelming smell of gas at 58 E. Main St., where Fire Chief Robert M. Crowe said a stake in the front yard punctured a gas line.
It was repaired Monday evening, but not before traffic during the heavy evening commute on Route 11 had to be detoured.
Chief Crowe said the smell of gas had been reported at approximately 4 p.m. Monday. Homes on East Main Street from Stiles Avenue to Hillside Road were evacuated, as were homes on Pleasant Street, Crescent Street and East Drive.
Gas service was shut off at 12 homes, and 15 additional homes were evacuated as a precaution, Chief Crowe said. No injuries or property damage resulted.
Crews from Luck Bros. Inc., Plattsburgh, had driven a survey stake into the ground that broke the line, Chief Crowe said.
As far as I understand, (the stakes) were set today as part of the construction project by Luck Bros., Chief Crowe said. They are the general contractors for the project run by the state Department of Transportation.
DOT Project Engineer Thomas A. Maroun said the crew was replacing metal property pins and this was one of six.
It was a metal bar that identifies the property lines. They record all the property pins before they start the job, Mr. Maroun said. One of them was at the same location as a gas service line going into one of the houses.
It is unclear how long gas has been leaking or when the line was punctured, Chief Crowe said. First responders used a fan and generator to ventilate the sewer lines in the area.
First responders used a reverse 911 system through the county, which allowed them to call residents in a geographic area to let them know what is going on, the chief said.
Officials from DOT created a detour identical to the route used during the summer road work, diverting traffic during the heavy evening commute. Drivers heading into Canton were directed around the north end of the village via Route 310, State Street and Riverside Drive.
Residents were allowed to return to their homes, gas was turned back on and East Main Street was reopened at approximately 8:30 p.m., Chief Crowe said.
Canton village police, St. Lawrence University Security, Canton Village Department of Public Works and the Pyrites, Morley and Potsdam, West Potsdam and Rensselaer Falls fire departments are also on the scene.
Chief Crowe said a call about a second possible gas leak at 49 W. Main St., which he received during the evacuation of the homes, was a false alarm.
This is the second time crews from the construction company caused a gas leak in that area since the summer. Road construction workers cut through a natural gas line in June near the intersection of East Main Street and Hillside Drive, forcing the evacuation of several homes and Vilas Hall at St. Lawrence University.

Taylor Momsen is finally out of her terrible teens -- the actress turns 20 today!
To be fair, aside from her underage smoking and risque fashion choices, she's been pretty tame, at least compared to people like Miley Cyrus and Amanda Bynes.
Back in 2010, a 17-year-old Taylor made headlines for posing on the cover of Revolver Magazine wearing lingerie and holding a pistol.
Her next spread -- a just-announced shoot with Maxim -- may be even more provocative.
She may be fronting the band Pretty Reckless now, but we'll always remember Tay as cute Cindy Lou in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and Jenny Humphries from "Gossip Girl."

HOGANSBURG Tears streamed down the faces of many parishioners and church officials Sunday afternoon at the closing service for a beloved Roman Catholic church that has been here for 179 years.
Faithful from around the north country packed the pews of St. Patricks Church for a final Mass at 3 p.m.
It is heartbreaking, said the Rev. Martin E. Cline, pastor of the church. Its unfortunate that times and circumstances of this area left our hands tied with what we can do.
The parish had been struggling financially for a few years, according to Father Cline, who had several meetings with the Parish Council to discuss the future of the church, which had about 30 families that still attended regularly. The writings on the wall, Father Cline said.
Bishop Terry R. LaValley of the Diocese of Ogdensburg said the closing of the church was somewhat related to the sociodynamics of the north country. Kids graduate from high school and leave home for their jobs, and the population has drastically decreased, and with the shortage of priests, its very difficult to keep the parishes open, he said.
Bishop LaValley said he spoke with some families who have belonged to the church for multiple generations.
A lot of the people dont live here anymore, and thats some of the dynamics of the north country, but its great to see them back, touching with their roots, he said.
Mary G. Lacerenza, a parish trustee who has been attending the church since the 1970s, also attributed the closing to generational changes.
Were still strong, but times are changing, she said. Younger kids dont go to church anymore, and most of the people that are here today are older.
Mrs. Lacerenza said the closing would be an emotional experience for many because the church has been around so long. It was the mother church of this area back in the 1800s, she said.
In 1905, the building burned down, leaving only the outer brick walls as the foundation to rebuild, Father Cline said. When the church was rebuilt, Italian artists were brought to America for the painting and sculptures inside the church, Mrs. Lacerenza said.
It wont hit me until I start seeing everything emptied out, but I have such pride when I walk into this church, she said.
For parishioner Jane A. Lantry, St. Patricks holds many of her lifes most cherished memories. Ms. Lantry said she was baptized at the church and was married there. My husband died and was buried here, so Ive been here all my life, she said. Its very sad, but it has to be done.
Father Cline said that although he is the pastor of parishes in Bombay and Fort Covington, he still has spiritual care for the people in Hogansburg. He said he hopes the people of St. Patricks will start attending in Bombay, Fort Covington or any other Catholic church where they will be comfortable.

PAWTUCKET – A cluster of mill buildings in Pawtucket's Church Hill neighborhood has received federal recognition for its contributions to the history of the city's industry and architecture.
Edward F. Sanderson, executive director of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, announced that the National Park Service has increased the boundaries of the Church Hill Industrial Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places to include the Union Wadding Company complex and the New England Machine and Electric Company.
The National Register is the federal government's official list of properties throughout the United States whose historical and architectural significance makes them worthy of preservation.
Developed between 1860 and 1930, the buildings of the Union Wadding Company and New England Machine and Electric Company share the same historical legacy and add to the industrial significance and architectural qualities of the Church Hill Industrial Historic District.
Listed on the National Register in 1982, Church Hill includes five industrial complexes on about seven acres located west of downtown Pawtucket. This boundary increase adds twenty buildings and one structure from the Union Wadding Company and the New England Machine and Electric Company properties, located immediately north of the original district in a roughly six-acre area bounded by the Amtrak line on the north, Pine Street on the west, Dexter and Commerce Streets on the east, and Bayley Street on the south.
The Union Cotton Manufacturing Company originated in Rehoboth, Massachusetts in 1808 and pioneered the manufacture of cotton batting, a non-woven fabric used for stuffing and lining. In 1842, Darius Goff formed a partnership with George Lawton in a cotton and paper waste business. This new company built the Pawtucket Steam Wadding Mill with adjoining boiler and engine room at the Church Hill location. The Pawtucket mill experienced its first fire in 1851. Goff and Lawton immediately rebuilt on a larger scale and soon after dissolved their partnership. In 1870, Goff renamed the firm Union Wadding Company. It produced annually $250,000 worth of cotton wadding and sold $150,000 worth of cotton waste.
On September 10, 1870, Union Wadding suffered one of the most destructive fires ever seen in Pawtucket, the third fire at the plant in nineteen years. The plant was completely rebuilt in 1872. Most of the surviving plant dates to this 1872 rebuilding and subsequent expansion through the early 20th century. By the time of Darius Goff's death in 1891, the company was producing 75 miles of 36" wadding per day along with its business in paper stock and cotton waste. According to some sources, Union Wadding was the largest operation of its kind in the world.
Eastward expansion continued with the construction of a 4-story Cleaning House between 1890 and 1895, a Classical Revival office building in 1901, and a brick cotton storage shed. The last phase of expansion occurred with the construction of a new bleachery in the years between 1923 and 1939. Around 1940 Union Wadding subdivided their property and sold the eastern parcel on Dexter Street to United Public Markets. Despite the general decline in the Rhode Island textile industry in the mid-20th century, Union Wadding continued to operate and diversified into Christmas tinsel, other holiday ornamentations, and industrial fans and blowers.
Declining business finally forced Union Wadding to close, and the property was acquired for redevelopment. In October 2010 a major fire destroyed ten buildings on the western side of the plant before they could be rehabilitated; however rehabilitation of the buildings in the eastern portion of the complex is now underway.
The remaining building in the newly expanded Church Hill Industrial District housed the New England Machine and Electric Company from 1925 to about 1990. The company, which provided electrical contracting, machining, and motor rebuilding since its incorporation in 1908, represented the final phase of the industrial development of Church Hill. The current occupant of the property is Armando's Meat Market.
The National Register nomination for the expansion of the Church Hill Industrial District was prepared by historic preservation consultant Edward Connors. According to Edward F. Sanderson of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, "Pawtucket was an industrial leader for 150 years, from Samuel Slater's 1793 cotton mill until well into the 20th century in the Church Hill neighborhood. Today, rehabilitation of the Union Wadding buildings and other nearby factories shows that Pawtucket's history is also its future."
In addition to honoring a property for its contribution to local, state, or national history, listing on the National Register provides additional benefits. It results in special consideration during the planning of Federal or federally assisted projects and makes properties eligible for Federal and Rhode Island tax benefits for historic rehabilitation projects. Owners of private property listed on the National Register are free to maintain, manage, or dispose of their property as they choose. As the state office for historic preservation, the Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission is responsible for reviewing and submitting Rhode Island nominations to the National Register.

PAWTUCKET — New England Gold & Silver has centered its business around offering customers cash for their unwanted gold and silver. Now, just one year later, the success of that model has allowed for an expansion into the retail jewelry trade.
PAWTUCKET — New England Gold & Silver has centered its business around offering customers cash for their unwanted gold and silver. Now, just one year later, the success of that model has allowed for an expansion into the retail jewelry trade.
Located at 1571 Newport Ave., next to Calabro's hair salon, New England Gold & Silver is still buying gold and silver jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, estate jewelry, watches and other items and offering some of the best prices around. Brian Hill, who owns and manages the store, has 27 years of experience in the jewelry business—and that equals success. When a customer brings an item in, he says, "We are not just buying gold, we also pay for diamonds, watches, sterling silver, silver plate, gold plate and coins."
Hill said that at New England Gold & Silver, the estimates are always free. He also believes that "the informed customer is the best customer," so when he gives a price on an item, he invites the customer to shop around. That customer, he said, typically comes back and tells him that his price was the best, by far, of any other gold and gemstone buyer in the area. "We hear that time and time again," he said.
Hill said that sales associate Renee Ferrick, who he brought on board last year, has also quickly learned about gold buying and has developed her own keen eye. "She is very good at assisting customers," he stated.
See GOLD, page A-2
Continued from page A-1
Hill noted that Ferrick was hired after visiting the store herself as a customer wanting to sell a diamond. She mentioned that she was out of work, and having difficulty finding a new job. Ferrick said her professional manner and bubbly personality appealed to him, so he hired her, and he now considers her a key part of his business.
The successful gold buying allowed for Hill to invest in new fine jewelry merchandise, and he has turned the front part of the store into an elegant retail showroom. He now offers engagement rings and wedding bands, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and fashion rings from leading brands and designers.
The selection includes Barkev's and Artisan Bridal wedding and engagement rings, the Bella Ryan collection of expandable charm bracelets, the Nomination line of gold and silver necklaces and bracelets, the Silver Stars collection of story beads, and a line of earrings by Candela, which offer a lifetime warranty for replacement.
Other specialty jewelry items come from Colore, the largest supplier of colored gemstones in the world. Their Lorenzo Collection includes personalized bangles, crafted from sterling silver and 18-kt. gold, that feature removable gemstone tips that can be interchanged with different gems for a whole new look. There are also pendants, bracelets and rings from Saraswati Stones, which are billed as "earth energy" jewelery items that embrace the beauty of nature, and a full line of Expressions beads designed to fit European-style bracelets.
New England Gold & Silver is also a source for the popular You-Cool line of braided copper bracelets. Available in a rainbow of colors, the tube-style bracelets feature a stainless steel clasp and are adjustable. They are favored by both men and women for their purported healing properties, said Hill (who sports one himself).
The store also has a display case devoted to estate jewelry, where customers can find some unique vintage necklaces, bracelets, earrings and watches.

FORT COVINGTON - A tie was always like a loss when Bill Plante was standing behind the Salmon River boys varsity hockey team bench, and the long-time coach, who was relieved of his coaching duties in February 2008, saw a tie vote at Monday nights Salmon River Central School Board of Education meeting derail an effort to return the states winningest high school hockey coach to his former post.
A move to revise a 2008 resolution that barred Mr. Plante from coaching at Salmon River failed on a 4-4-1o.
More than 50 people jammed the board room Monday in a crowd reminiscient of those that packed people three to four deep around the boards when the Shamrocks were on top of their game.
Mr. Plantes high school teams won 553 hockey teams during his coaching career, a state record, and the Shamrocks won six state Division II championships - 1980, 81, 86, 92, 01 and 02 when he was behind the bench.
But his style, attitude and coaching philosophy also drew critics and a taping of an expletive filled off ice conversation with his players ended his coaching career in 2008. The St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council, in a letter to the school board dated Sept. 20, urged school officials to keep the coaching ban on its books.
We strongly believe that allowing Mr. Plante to resume involvemen in the coaching of the student athletes of the Salmon River Central School District constitutes a complete disregard for the well being of the children that he comes in contact with as well as sending a message that the abusive language and behavior exhibited by Mr. Plante while a coach, found by the arbitrator during Mr, Plantes appeal to include calling children moron and retard is acceptable behavior on the part of an adult entristed to be a role model for our children, the letter signed by two of the three chiefs and all three sub chiefs said.
... the arbitrator found that a recording of Mr. Plante showed clear and incontrovertible evidence of at least racial stereotyping if not of outright racism. This pattern of behavior, coupled with numerous warnings and negative evaluations of Mr. Plantes performance during the time period just prior to his being removed permanently as coach, gives us serious doubt as to the basis of any reconsideration of the boards 2008 decision and, indeed, any acknowledgement on the part of Mr. Plante that he behaved improperly, the letter noted.
The tribal council urged the school board to stand by its February 2008 decision to ban Mr. Plante from any future coaching duties at Salmon River.
We hope that you will consider the effects your decision will have upon the future generations of students/players in both of our communities in addition to the potential legal liability your decision ro reinstate Mr. Plante as an athletic coach could place on the Salmon River Central School District, the letter signed by tribal chiefs Ron Lafrance Jr. and Beverly Cook added.
Those who spoke during an extended public comment period at Mondays meeting were evenly divided, with seven speaking in Mr. Plantes favor and seven against.
Comments reflected the board vote, reached only after a 45-minute closed-door session. Board President Chris Nye, Michael Sisto, Peter Ghostlaw and Roger Lapage voted in favor of striking the portion of the 2008 resolution that bars Mr. Plante from all future coaching positions. Vice President Greg Cunningham, Linda Durant, Sheila Marshall, and Matt Mainville voted against the measure. Robert Durant, who cast the final vote on the issue, abstained. Superintendent Jane Collins had also said she was opposed to the change.
The proposed amendment came four years after an arbitrator ruled against Mr. Plante for using inappropriate, demeaning and derogatory language toward the student-athletes he was coaching, as well as using inappropriate racial stereotypes, according to court documents.
A high school hockey player at the time provided the school district with evidence of this language by recording 50 minutes of what was described as a typical nights pep talk.
Many speaking against Mr. Plante, who sat silently through the comment period, quoted a transcript of the recording, with popular excerpts being nobody gives a **** whether youre dead or alive and youre a bunch of ****ing retards.
A rant about his teams lack of physical play also drew considerable attention. Everybodys ****ing all over you guys. I cant believe you dont stand up to them. I dont believe ..., youre a bunch of ******* Indians... Native Americans, whatever you want to ******* be called. None of you ******* are going anywhere, the transcript read.
The recording was filled with expletives and its transcript was posted on the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Councils web site Tuesday.
Is that okay for a 14-year old to hear? Michael Connors asked during public comment.
Others, including Tribal Chiefs Cook and Lafrance, echoed the sentiment.
To have to hear that from adults who are supposed to be mentoring them and teaching them and guiding them, Ms. Cook said. The young man who made that tape did it for a reason.
Mr. Lafrance described Mr. Plante as hell of a coach but wondered about the cost of reinstating him. He said he did not believe the recording would mark a one-time incident.
Mr. Nye pointed out Chief Paul Thompson refused to sign a Sept. 20 letter to the board expressing the tribes official position because he is close friends with Mr. Plante.
But there were also many who attended the board meeting to speak in Mr. Plantes favor.
Over the past couple years, community involvement and participation in our hockey games has come down at least 50 percent, Arena Director Charlie Bishop said. While Bill was coach, he knew how to motivate kids and produce a winning environment.
Several student athletes from throughout Mr. Plantes 36-year teaching career also made an appearance to support their former coach. Many suggested Mr. Plantes behavior was typical of efforts to psyche teams up noted hey all turned out fine or better off because of his influence.
Things were said. Its a locker room, its hockey, said Garret Cree. The goal is to win.
Tim Ghostlaw and Tim Gray claimed the charge of racism was ridiculous.
Weve got all kinds of kids from all different backgrounds, said Tim Ghostlaw. Bill, he took that diversity and somehow managed to get them to work together. And all these kids are growing up to be good young men, and Im proud of them.
Community members spoke for over 45 minutes, refusing to be silenced well after the 10-minute limit on public comment.
Mr. Nye expressed some concern that the meeting had turned into a sort of witch hunt. He recognized the pain associated with the 2008 incident, but said he he knows for sure that Mr. Plante is not a racist. He also suggested four years as a long time to punish an award-winning coach for a mistake he believes Mr. Plante will never repeat.
The tension and anger [of the crowd], its real and Im affected by it. But at the same time I just kept saying that youve got to look for justice. Youve got to look for balance. Youve got to look for fairness, according to Mr, Nye. Does this punishment fit this crime?
When asked to comment on the meeting and why he didnt speak directly to the community, Mr. Plante took a moment to consider.
I thought my speakers spoke well enough for me, he said.
