SOCORRO -- The city of Socorro recently approved its final budget with new pay rates for police officers.
The new salary rate will help retain officers in the agency, said interim city manager Manny Soto.
The projected city budget for Socorro for the fiscal year 2010-2011 is about $15.8 million. This is about $4 million more compared with the 2009-2010 figures.
The Socorro Police Department budget also will increase from $1.65 million to about $2.6 million.
The new figures are a result of new grants coming into the city, Soto said.
Soto said in the past the department has hired and trained new officers only to have many leave because of the pay.
"Our pay was not as good as the sheriff's or El Paso Police Department," Soto said. "With the scheduled salary, we'll be able to recruit and retain more officers."
The starting annual salary for a first-year police officer in Socorro will be $41,000 beginning in October, compared with $26,000 in past years.
Sgt. Refugio Orta, president of the Socorro Police Association, said the agency will be able to compete with other small law enforcement agencies in the El Paso area.
"Retention was very hard. We're competing with other agencies that have benefits, but now Socorro is going to pay higher," he said.
Despite the new salary rate, Orta said there are still many other needs in his department.
Orta said the department lacks a pension plan for its officers.
"That is something that the association and the city are looking into already," he said.
Recently the Socorro Police Department added three new officers and it is now hiring two sergeants and two or three dispatchers.
The police department has a total of 40 employees, including 17 officers, three sergeants, the chief and a lieutenant.
"We will provide better coverage to the city by putting more officers in the streets," Soto said.
In the present, he said, a lot of officers have to work overtime.
He said this will also provide a safer environment for the residents of Socorro.
Soto said the salary increase was possible without increasing property taxes.
Recently the city council approved the same property tax rate as the previous fiscal year. Socorro property owners pay property taxes of 49 cents per $100 of property value.
Master plan
The city of Socorro is also in the planning stages for a new master plan.
Residents will be able to provide their input to create a master plan for the city of Socorro during a public meeting next week.
Planners from Sites Southwest and public officials will host the meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Rio Vista Community Center, 901 Rio Vista Road.
The city reached an agreement with Sites Southwest in May to develop a comprehensive master plan that will focus on land use, transportation, public centers and future residential and commercial areas.
The meeting will be the first of a series of public reunions before a final draft is presented to the council, said Manny Soto.
At the meeting, Sites Southwest officials will explain the process of how the comprehensive plan will be prepared and how the residents can be involved in the plan.
Participants will be asked to express what they like about Socorro, the things they think should be changed and what they would like to see in the future in terms of road, land use, housing, open space, economic development and water resources.
A second public meeting will be scheduled later in the fall to verify goals and objectives that come from the first meeting.

The unacknowledged son of one of America's most popular talk show hosts works in the mailroom at Philadelphia magazine.
In the couple of months since PW first contacted Pontius, the son has finally spoken to his birth father. For him, the conversation didn't go quite as he'd hoped. "I just didn't get the sense that he was really all that interested," says Pontius.
Bell has also spoken to PW several times, and though he's requested most of the interviews remain off the record, he did leave several phone messages for Pontius after that first conversation, a fact Pontius confirms. He says his son seemed "angry."
Bell himself says he was shaken up by the news that his birth children had been sexually abused. "I was horrified," says Bell. "All of this is news to me. When I did talk to Vincent, the first 80 percent of our conversation was about the abuse. I just couldn't believe it because I had the opposite information. And I think what happened to him has a lot to do with his anger."
He says he'd stayed away from his ex-wife and kids because the information he had is that they were happy without him. "I just figured everyone had gotten on with their lives," says Bell. "Until I got a phone call from [PW], the last conversation I had with my ex-wife was that she had remarried and that it would be best if I just let them be."
Pontius says he walked around for many years with a hole inside him he couldn't fill. Bell raised him until he was 3 years old, an age when a child's parents pretty much constitute their whole world.
Myrna Shure, a professor of child psychology at Drexel University and the author of Thinking Parent, Thinking Child, says that on one hand a child might be "better off" if a man capable of leaving him and never speaking to him again for 38 years is simply out of his life for good. But having Bell around the first three years of his life means that Pontius went through his most formative years with a man who suddenly disappeared.
"He suffered a loss," she says, "and in a normal divorce situation the child can be told, 'This is about Mommy and Daddy. They can't live together, but Mommy still loves you, Daddy still loves you.' But if Daddy isn't there, you can't say that. The child's going to think, 'Daddy doesn't love me, and that's why he's not coming back.'"
For Pontius, finding out who his father was led to some surreally difficult moments. He recalls receiving a phone call from his sister in 1999, telling him their father was going to be on CNN's Larry King Live. "It was the first time I ever got to see him move and talk," he says. "And I--I taped it, and I watched everything about him--his mannerisms, the sound of his voice--trying to see if I could see anything of myself in him."
Could he? "I don't know," he says. "You tell me."
Still a sci-fi fan, he was also a regular viewer of the TV show Millennium when Bell turned up on an episode playing himself. "I didn't know he was going to be on," says Pontius, "and all of a sudden there he was."
That appearance affected him in ways he can't describe. "I didn't sleep," he says. "For days. I was just ... I don't know what I was feeling. It messed me up."
Seeing the father he'd never met on a TV series he regularly watched was something he just couldn't process. He says he made his own attempts to contact Bell over the years with no success. He tried emailing him through the Coast to Coast website, and received no reply, which is perhaps not surprising given the sheer volume of emails Bell says he receives.
Then in May of last year he sent a letter to Bell at his address in Pahrump, Nev. Bell was living in Manila in the Philippines with his new wife Airyn at the time (The talk show host moved his wife to the U.S. in December) and says he never received it.
In the end, after PW contacted Bell, the talk show host immediately suggested this reporter give his son his phone number. Both say the ensuing conversation involved a lot of talk about what had happened 40 years ago; what led to the dissolution of the marriage with Toguchi; and why Bell had never made further contact with his children on his own.
"I started the conversation by saying, 'This is Sachiko's son,'" recalls Pontius of his single conversation with Bell. "I felt so disconnected by not having known Art senior, and I guess I feel liberated because not having heard from him haunted me for, like, 35 years. I saw flashes of emotion from him here and there. Maybe the first 20 minutes I sensed a little guilt, but he never apologized for leaving me, my mother and my sister."
Bell says, "I guess I wasn't ready to apologize for something I didn't know I had done. I'm not the kind of person who abandons people, and I didn't think I had abandoned them."
While the hour-long conversation between father and son hasn't led to any ongoing relationship, at least for now, Pontius calls the experience cathartic. "I'd been waiting so long to talk to him," he says, "for some kind of acknowledgement from him, and now after that one conversation I feel like I can move on with my life."
So why go public now? "Because it's the truth," says Pontius.
"Wow, it's nice to hear "the rest of the story". I listen to C2C regurlarly. I always liked Art Bell, but I think my thoughts about him are forever changed after reading this article. I mean, what a dishonorable thing to do, for a person like him not to want to even be so charitable as to give a grieving heart some reprieve... and relieve someone else's suffering, even just a little. And he wouldn't have had to even lift a finger...just speaking to his son might have gone a long way in helping alleviate some of the anguish of growing up not ever knowing your father. Shame on Art Bell."
"I always felt & believed that Art Bell is a racist! He was married & is married to Asians but he writes negative articles & e-mails about Asians... is this how he shows love to his loved ones... to his family... by insulting & destroying their culture..???? (I am referring to the OPEN LETTER (The Hate E-mail ) he wrote to Filipinos... it was realluy full of hate... So why is he married to a Filipina??) Reading this story further cements the negative impression i have on Art Bell! I think he's A SICKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SHAME ON YOU ART BELL! DIE IN SHAME RACIST!"
"This is aweful. This man should be hurting for HIS children. What kind of monster is he? He is beyond help. I use to religiously listen for 13 years to this late night paranormal show, I am NEVER listening to any of the shows hosted by this man of neglect. The nerve of leaving out those children must hurt them like crazy. His arrogance is so unbelieveable. Boy. I never knew he could be so.....hard hearted. Hey. Bell, it's about the KIDS, okay? Your kids. sicko"
"Interesting story. Art Bell is a great radio personality and very complex man. I don't understand how creating two kids and not seeing them or contacting them over the course of 40 years doesn't constitute abandonment. I hope his kids find or have some peace. It would be nice if Art would come to his senses."
"John Mermont: You need to do some due diligence and get your stories straight. The FBI investigated the anti-Filipino hate mail supposedly authored by Bell and learned that it came from a computer in the student library on the campus of San Diego State University. It was hate mail, okay, but hate mail hoaxed against Art Bell to discredit him with the Filipino community - completely proven to be false. Art Bell went through hell and high water over that and continues to because of uninfomed commentary like your's above - the story has taken on a life of it's own, so to speak. On the surface it seems like that Vincent, the son, suffered a great deal trying to figure out who he was and is, all complicated by the fact that his father turned out to be a famous person. I wonder if he would have felt quite the same if his father was just an ordinary guy, though. I surely don't condone a cool or stand-offish attitude toward Bell's kids by him, but I haven't walked in his shoes. Life can be tough and if the son, or daughter for that matter, was/is hostile or angry after all this time, it's not easy to put that to rest or in the proper context. I'm sure that Bell is struggling to cope with all this and am equally sure that it will probably turn out okay in the end. Life can throw anyone some real curve balls, and will if given half a chance. I completely understand Bell's feelings that he would be better off leaving his kids alone after the remarriage of his ex-wife if they he had been informed they were doing well - and I'm equally sure it wasn't a necessarily easy decision for him to make. The very same thing happened to me and I learned many years later that I should probably have stayed involved as well, but it's all water over the dam and impossible to go back. So, back to the main point, cut Bell some slack and do your homework a little better, why not. The truth is all readily available on the internet in a simple Google search. Nuff said."
"Get real Jayne, can't you even read. He didn't abandon them. They were adopted by his ex-wife's new husband, for crying out loud. This means that he no longer had any legal access to them even if he had wanted it. My god, where do they find you people. Knee-jerking such reactions without even thinking. Hopefully, since all this had now come to light, a positive resolution might come to the fore - but it won't happen over night. I believe Art Bell is a good man. Listening to him express his views and opinions over the years - you can't fake that. Give the guy a chance. "
"My heart goes out to Vincent and his siter too. But trust me, there's always more to the story. I firmly believe that Art Bell is a good and decent man. Sure he's made his mistakes, like all of us have. Anyone who reaches 60+ years of age and can look back at their whole life and not be horrified at some of the bone-headed decision and actions they've taken over they years is either not truthful or is living in a highly protected circumstance with little opportunity to screw up. I've listened to Bell for ten years or more and think I know him pretty well. You can't fake it that well all that time. He's a good man, I believe, and I also believe that all this will eventually come out ok. Stay tuned if you can. "
"You are Bell's fan, not his shrink or his family so please don't claim to know him so well. It is sickening. Try being in their shoes. Believe what you want. His kids mean nothing to him and that makes him a TOTAL LOSER! "
"I am a fan of Art Bell. It is not honorable to leave the mother of your children because you have decided being a husband and father is too much. But would Art Bell today make that same choice? Probably not. He was young at the time and not ready to step up to the plate and be a full fledged man. He probably honestly DID feel they were better off without him. Either way though, the past is the past and sometimes the best way to remedy wrong doings in the past is to forge a new friendship in the future. I wish the best to Art and all of his children and may he and Vincent find a relationship with some ground that they are mutually happy on."
"If Art Bell is a nice man as some feel he is-why is he leaving all his kids out of his will, except this last one? Art Bell states in his will that his wife and child of just recent marriage are the only ones to benefit-the other 4 children are left out. That is like saying those other children mean nothing to him and they don't exist. Watch out to the new wife-Art Bell has had lots of wives and children and could dump you as easily-and, quickly take you and your daughter out of the will and then add another wife in-yet to come. Oops! showing art's evil side. Mr Bell is not a nice man."
"I was forced out of my marriage and abused by my now ex wife. I am now able to see my two boys that are now 18 and 17. I was so ashamed of being abused. I used to make fun of a fellow servicemean in the Army for his wife hurting him with bruises, black eyes and even broken bones. Like he had any power to stop her.
I don't know if this was happening to Art, but this was a sample of just one reason to keep it quiet and discreet. Who wants to have to say bad things about another if they don't have to.
There are plenty of reasons to leave and not want to talk about it forty years later and besides it really is none of our business. Put your life out there for extreme examination and let's see how you feel!"
"I think, Art Bell has at least 1 more kid!! It would be me.... I was born 1971 in Santa Barbara, After Art Bell left my mom Haruko Nakaoshi and me... Went to back to Okinawa, Japan. I have no memory of Art Bell at all."
"none of us know the reason art and his son dont speak or see eachother, dont be so quick to judge the man, you dnt know what his son did to him or what art did to his son, dont let some random article you read on the internet change your thouhts about a person forever"
"I think I might be Art Bell's child. I was born in area 51 and my mother was from Mars. Other than my green complexion I fit into the Las Vegas scene pretty well having made my career running a pawn shop."
"Don't be so quick to judge Art. I could hear his pain when he said he thought they were happy without him. I'm speaking as a divorced husband and father of a beautiful three year old girl. Nobody knows the whole story here except Art and his first wife. I feel compassion for everyone involved here."
"My opinion of Mr. Bell has certainly changed; he seems cold, self-absorbed, uncaring, pios and the list goes on...any man can 'father a child' but a REAL MAN can be a 'father'....shame on you, Mr. Bell - these hears refuse to listen to you on my radio any more; how could I listen? You have no heart....pity."
"Art Bell only rears his ugly head when he wants to get back in the spotlight. George Noory has taken the c2c radio show to heights bell can only dream of! Shame on bell for neglecting his own Family! And George Noory I just love your new show "beyond belief" on Giam television!"
"My father and mother divorced when I was 2. I also had a hole in my life growing up. Although stepfather adopted me he never showed the love to me that he did with my half syblings. At age 20 I finally met my father and through the years my "other" half syblings. My father and I never came close to being close. So very sad. But now have more family than I ever thought of. And finally found out I wasn't all that different."
"City Kitty, the audience size of Bell vs Noory is a great comparrison tool. Present C2C ratings are less than one-million listeners. Bell however carried hundreds more affiliate stations with more than fifteen-million listeners. Sorry, your take is errant and uninformed. Bell is better, by the numbers."
"I always liked Art. He was married to Ramona for many many years...he raised her son as his own and defended his rights and honor as a minor when all that mess came out about him being sexually abused by a teacher if memory servescme correctly. ..but when Ramona died her son disappeared with no word about him from Art to this day. Art has a history of being able to turn his back on children no matter their age. He did abandon his son and daughter just because they were adopted doesn't mean that up to that point they hadn't been abandoned if you don't like that term then lets use deserted they both carry the same weight and like it or not Art Bell is guilty as charged further more yes there are two sides to every story BUT up until his son and daughter were adopted he never contributed to their support, SHAME on him all the way around. Art is still missed and always will be on C2C but it doesn't alter the fact that there are two sides to Mr. Bell one I'll always like and the other, not!"

Investment Builders Inc., an El Paso apartment complex developer and builder, is in the middle of a small building boom.
It plans to break ground Thursday on a $16 million, 160-unit upscale apartment complex on the East Side, it's in the middle of building a 184-unit, upscale apartment complex on the West Side, it recently opened a small apartment complex on the East Side, and it recently finished the second phase of another complex in Northeast El Paso.
El Paso's occupancies are strong enough to support more apartment construction, and Investment Builder's own market study showed a demand for more upscale apartments in El Paso, said Ike Monty, Investment Builders president.
El Paso had a 94.5 percent apartment occupancy rate in the third quarter, down slightly from 97 percent for the same quarter in 2011, reported ARA Apartment Realty Advisors, an Atlanta company that tracks apartment markets nationwide.
"We haven't seen problems" filling apartments, Monty said. "That's why we continue to build."
Investment Builders historically has built apartment complexes for low- to middle-income renters with state allotted federal tax credits, which are sold to investors for financing. However, competition has been more intense for the tax credits in the past two years, Monty said.
Monty said he's trying to set his latest project apart from others by having the 160 units all at ground level.
"It's a new concept," Monty said. It takes more space (about 10 acres), but, he said, it will "give people more of a home feel with apartment living."
The apartments look like small homes in architectural drawings of the proposed complex. The ultramodern architecture was done by El Paso architect Eugenio "Pacelli" Mesta of Exigo Architects.
The complex, named Casitas Del Este Apartments, will be at 1331 Pullman Drive, about a mile from Las Palmas Marketplace, which is at George Dieter and Interstate 10.
About 90 percent of the complex will be one- and two-bedroom apartments, and about 10 percent will be three-bedroom units, Monty said. The apartments will range from 700 square feet to 1,400 square feet, he said.
Rents will range from $700 for a one-bedroom to $1,400 for a three-bedroom, Monty reported.
ARA Apartment Realty Advisors data showed El Paso apartment rents averaged $737 in the third quarter, up almost 7 percent from a year ago. Rents averaged from $642 for a one-bedroom to $1,152 for a four-bedroom.
"There's a market for these (higher-end) rents," Monty said. "We have young professionals, people moving out of older product, some Mexican nationals, and some military."
"We'd like to do two more (complexes) in the 200-unit range next year" for the regular rental market, Monty said. And his company will probably apply next year for tax credits for another project, he said.

Now that you have gotten some great tips on how to become a healthier you, I think it is time to celebrate and give you a little something fun for your honeymoon.

So feel free to shop around while on the site and treat yourself to a little treat for all your hard work!
Regardless of how much you weigh or what size you are on your wedding day, your new husband is going to love you more than he did yesterday. So do this for you and your health and not for any other reason than wanting to live a long and happy life with him.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional and Rural Development Peter Ryan has called for
nominations from Shepparton for the 2013 Regional Achievement & Community Awards.
Mr Ryan, the patron of the event, said the awards were a highly anticipated event in Victoria,
in honour of the significant contribution that organisations, communities and individuals make
right across regional and rural areas.
"Since its creation in 2002, the Regional Achievement & Community Awards has offered a
fantastic opportunity to increase the profile of regional Victoria as a productive environment
for business and industry development," Mr Ryan said.
Mr Ryan said the Victorian Coalition Government was proud to sponsor two awards, the
Regional Victoria Living Expo Business Achievement Award and the Regional Victoria Living
Expo Leadership and Innovation Award.
"The Regional Victoria Living Expo Business Achievement Award acknowledges successful
businesses that are providing opportunities for regional growth, productivity, leadership,
training and employment," Mr Ryan said.
"The Regional Victoria Living Expo Leadership and Innovation Award acknowledges role
models who through their leadership, innovation and driving force pave the way for others to
follow in successful careers or community ventures."
Mr Ryan said another key objective of the awards was to promote regional Victoria as a great
place to establish a home, and take up employment, business and education opportunities.
"The Coalition Government showcases the benefits of living in regional Victoria through such
initiatives as the Good Move campaign and the Regional Victoria Living Expo," Mr Ryan said.
"This year's expo attracted 9,500 Melburnians interested in making the move to country
Victoria – and these awards provide another opportunity to promote regional living.
"Building on the strengths of the regions and maintaining growth will not only benefit regional
Victoria but the whole state."
The 2013 Regional Achievement & Community Awards will be presented in Bendigo in
October this year.

DeSean Jackson
- Filed Under
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman refused to address rumors that the team is looking to trade wide receiver DeSean Jackson when speaking to a group of reporters Monday at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly will most likely do the same when he is scheduled to address the media Wednesday.
It would seem like a drastic measure for the Eagles to trade or release Jackson, who was part of a prolific offense that set several team records last season including most points scored and yards from scrimmage. Jackson, 27, is coming off a career-best season with 82 receptions for ...

It was a good weekend. The only hiccup was the fact that though my son Elric is officially on leave he was not allowed to leave the state of North Carolina.
In other words, one was missing in our early Christmas festivities.
It was nonstop chatter and noise the second Helen, Tats, Shorty and Mikayla walked through the door. We were all so glad to see them, and I immediately set out to cook dinner. It was while cooking that Tats realized she had gifts under our tree. Helen, too, realized one was hers. It was great. ...

New sellers asking £11,561 more than a year ago
Rightmove has reported a seventh consecutive monthly rise in in prices for homes coming onto the market, up by 0.3% (£860) with sellers now asking 4.8% (£11,561) more than a year ago. All regions show a year-on-year increase for the first time since September 2010.
Miles Shipside, Rightmove director and housing market analyst said: "Given what we've seen over the first half of this year, we expect the average asking price of property coming to the market in England and Wales to end 2013 around 4% higher. While the current annual rate stands at 4.8%, in recent years the gains of the first-half of the year have been eaten away in the second. Between June and December last year, asking prices fell by 7%. The signs are that prices in 2013 will not dissipate as they have in recent years.
"London will continue to outperform the rest of the country and we also expect the South East, the main beneficiary of the 'over-spill' from the capital, to maintain its strong momentum, both driven by an on-going shortage of supply of property for sale. Asking prices in the capital are currently 29% higher than they were five years ago compared with 7% in the South East and just 5% nationally".
The asking prices of properties being put up for sale in London this month increased by an average of £136 to £515,379, the third month in a row that the capital has set a new record, although there is a big difference between the increase in inner London (14.9%) and outer London (6.8%). The best performing areas in July were Richmond-upon-Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington, Lambeth and Wandsworth.
Meanwhile, 1 in 4 people expect house prices to increase by at least 5% in the next 12 months, say Halifax. Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax, said: "Sentiment regarding the outlook for house prices has improved markedly over the past quarter, continuing the trend seen since late 2012. This increase in optimism is partly due to house prices being stronger than expected in the first half of the year. We continue to see a clear north/south divide with significantly higher proportions of people expecting prices to rise in the south than elsewhere in the UK.
"Nonetheless, the market still faces substantial headwinds with, for example, house prices remaining above the historical average in relation to earnings. Such factors are likely to prevent a sharp acceleration in house prices."
Doug Shephard, Director at Home.co.uk said: "Glance at the headline property statistics and anyone could be fooled into thinking that the wider UK economy was booming. The reality is that, while there are areas showing great improvement and even some showing signs of overheating such as Greater London, there are also several very poorly performing regional markets. The wider economy remains very fragile and yet the property market continues to be used by the media to define the wider economic health of the nation. Buy-to-let may well be booming but do the tenants have jobs? Government stimulus and bank bailouts seem to have saved the UK property market but attention must now be turned to jobs and reducing government debt."
Home.co.uk's figures show average asking prices across England and Wales are at their highest point since July 2008 with all areas of the UK recording price rises in the last month except Yorkshire and Scotland. They estimate the average asking price for homes in England and Wales is now £241,710, up 4% on July 2012.

Former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio, imprisoned since April 2009, has new digs.
Nacchio transferred from the Schuylkill minimum-security prison camp in Minersville, Pa., to the Lewisburg prison camp in central Pennsylvania on April 22, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley. She said the bureau does not disclose reasons for inmate transfers.
Nacchio, now 62, was convicted on 19 counts of illegal insider trading in 2007 and is serving a 70-month sentence. His scheduled release date is May 2014.
The Lewisburg minimum-security prison camp is about 150 miles west of Nacchio's home in Mendham, N.J. Schuylkill is about 110 miles from Mendham.
Nacchio's attorney declined comment Monday. Andy Vuong, The Denver Post

Retains title: Champion Jang Yong Kim of Korea cranks down hard on the arm of Hawaii's Toby Misech, submitting him during the Pacific Xtreme Combat 42 145-pound title match Friday night at the University of Guam field house. The championship bout was the only one of the eight fights that was not settled by judges' decision. Christopher Rhoads/For Pacific Sunday News
- Filed Under
The main event and lone championship bout on the card was also unique in that it was the only fight in Pacific Xtreme Combat 42 Friday night that was decided before being turned over to the judges.
Jang Yong Kim, the reigning 145-pound titleholder, won his first defense with a kimura 2:20 into the second round that forced challenger Toby Misech to submit.
Kim had a clear strategy to take the wind out of his quicker opponent with knees to the body, but his shots missed their target early in the fight. ...

The Official
"I just want to say a big thank you to everyone involved for making this such a fantastic regatta. I got lucky a lot of times and I want to come back here and sail again," he said.
Alison CASEY Outstanding Apprentice Radial Women's World Champion
Another newcomer to the Masters Worlds, Alison CASEY (AUS) finished an impressive eighth overall in the Radial Apprentice to cart off the women's World crown.
CASEY, from a famous Queensland sailing family had sailed around 20 times in the past six years and came to the event with no expectations, but gave her rivals, both male and female, a run for their money, at one stage filling out third place overall.
With a final score of 60 points, the 36 year old beat her nearest women's rival, Justine ELLA, a local from Wamberal, by 26 points. Third place went to Swede Yvonne MALMSTEM (139 points), who finished runner-up last year.
"I was first to the top mark in Race 9, but couldn't find the mark [many had this problem in the big swell], then I got black flagged. I knew I had to fight back in the second race to have any chance and I finished tenth.
"It's been a fantastic event. I didn't want to peak too early - I peaked at just the right moment. I'm not the loser in the family anymore, I have my own world title," CASEY laughed. Both her brothers Stewart and Brendan, an Olympic campaigner won world titles in their teens.
"I was mentally prepared to do well, but I didn't know where I would slot into the scheme of things, not having competed for so long. My family has been very supportive and Brendan has been great helping me onshore every day. I think all the stars were in alignment. It feels brilliant to win," she said, "especially when it all comes together so well."
Mark ORAMS Wins Tough Battle For Radial Master World Title
A bit of Kiwi magic came to the fore today when New Zealander Mark ORAMS won a tight three-way battle for the Radial Master World Championship.
The quietly spoken ORAMS came home strong with a third and a win to claim the trophy on 12 points from his two greatest rivals, British sailor Stephen COCKERILL (17 points) and defending champion and 2006 winner Greg ADAMS (AUS) on 25 points.
"I feel relieved. It's been tough sailing all week. It's nice to win with a win! It was a bit stressful, because I couldn't find the bottom mark. I stood up in the boat for a while looking for it. I had a huge lead at the time, but the swell was so big, that unless you and the mark were on top of the swell at the same time, you just couldn't find it. It didn't help that the mark was orange and sun was right in your face," ORAMS said.
"It was good close racing. Steve [COCKERILL] won the first race of the day emphatically, and had he beat me in the second race, he would have won on countback with two race drops. I had to give myself a stiff talking to. I decided to just sail a good race and not worry about anyone else or where I was in the fleet," said ORAMS from Torbay in Auckland.
Christine BRIDGE Overcomes Reigning Champ For Women's Masters Crown
Christine BRIDGE (AUS) an Olympian from the 1990s and mother of three overcame six-time world champion and fellow Queenslander Lyndall PATTERSON to win the Women's Radial Master World Championship.
While PATTERSON, a mother herself, looked set to claim the title once more, BRIDGE, the 2006 Radial Apprentice world champion, started her regatta slowly, but took the lead in race 5 when she scored a fourth place in open competition.
Finishing ninth overall, BRIDGE's scorecard read 75 points, PATTERSON's 108 and 13th overall. Vanessa DUDLEY, recently returned to the class following an absence of over 20 years, finished a very credible third women's and 15th overall with a total of 112 points.
"I finished fifth and sixth today. I felt I should have beaten Lyndall. We are friends. She is good competition and very supportive. We train together and are living together here in Terrigal," said the mother of three.
"It was fun mixing it with the boys, because they were using boy tactics. I had to start thinking more strategically and I failed! I couldn't work out what I was doing wrong, so I rang my husband Rob and he set me back on the right track.
"I don't know if I can defend my title next year, as I have to get a leave pass from my husband every two years to do this event. We'll see…," she said.
Race Officials were put through their paces as breezes shifted between south and southeast, but it was a beautiful day in Terrigal, sunny blue skies and nice sailing conditions. Many were black flagged and disqualified today, having difficulty finding their correct course marks.
"We had 26 starts today, a record," said Principle Race Officer Tony DENHAM, following a number of general recalls and black flag starts.
In all, 367 sailors competed at the Laser Masters Worlds. Thanks go to the NSW government, sponsors, the participating clubs and the volunteers who do their job with a smile each day.

AmeriCorps State/National Programs
AmeriCorps Members serve in local, community-based organizations, expanding their capacity to achieve their mission and building community involvement and support.
Recruiting local volunteers is one of the most important things AmeriCorps can do for your organization. Each AmeriCorps member typically adds twelve community volunteers from the community.
AmeriCorps members who serve full-time receive a modest living allowance, student-loan forbearance, health coverage, and child care (if needed).
After successfully completing their term of service, they receive an AmeriCorps Education Award . This award can be used to pay off qualified student loans or to finance college, graduate school, or vocational training at eligible institutions.
Under the Serve America Act changes, AmeriCorps members who are 55 years of age or older, can assign their education award to a child, grandchild, or foster child.
Since 1994, more than 5,700 Maine residents have served more than 8.1 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $18,540,000 .

Lost Friend Poems
Someone with all the money in the world but no one to enjoy it with, would be depressed. Admittedly that's an extreme example, but the truth is that all of the enjoyable things in the world get old quickly without a friend to share them with. On the other hand, if a person was experiencing all the hardships in the world, they may go insane without the aid of a friend. People that don't have anyone to socially interact may lose their minds and develop an imaginary friend just to ease the loneliness. Human interaction is necessary. It is simply the way that we are wired.

Comments, questions and tips
This was delicious. I had half the salmon so added peppers, onions and mushrooms. The paprika started to smoke and burn in the grill so I had to transfer it to the frying pan with the onions etc. Didn't have cabbage so used lettuce instead. The chipotle and lime are my favourite flavours. A great way to eat salmon.
I didn't have any garlic salt so I used minced garlic but because I was adding it to the paprika I had to add oil to make a paste. Big mistake, with the oil from the salmon and olive oil it just was sapping when flaked. Next time I'll definitely buy the garlic salt as the flavour was spot on! I also picked up the wrong item at the supermarket and ended up with flatbread style things but still worked just as well. Used pickled red cabbage too and cucumber. Used siracha hot sauce in the yogurt, was definitely hot enough! Will deffo make again, probably use the flatbreads, pickled red cabbage and siracha again though. Wonderful little midweek meal find :)
This is a nice, healthy alternative to usual fajita/taco/wraps, and refreshingly different flavours. Chipotle is a bit too smokey for us, but the yoghurt and lime mellow it. Looks a treat too with you serve it up with mounds of all the green stuff so people can make up their own tacos as they like it.
I am not really sure if I liked this dish or not! Firstly, I will admit that I did not have garlic salt so used celery salt instead and mixed in a bit of garlic puree with the paprika and sugar, but I don't think I really liked the sugar/salt combination. I also only added 2tsp of chipotle to my yoghurt and that still packed a punch - I dread to think what it would have been like if I had used the 2 tbsp as suggested!
Such a quick & delicious weeknight supper - on the table in less than 15 minutes! Have made it about 5 times now, chopping the veggies as the fish is cooking. Fish is juicy and perfectly spiced. Used soft corn tortillas instead and subbed other veggies (crunchy lettuce, juicy tomatoes and creamy avocado) but however you make it - its a real winner!

BATON ROUGE - Legislation aimed at allowing police officers to carry weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol has become a bill allowing any concealed handgun permit holder to carry a gun into those establishments.
Although several members of the House Criminal Justice Committee said they were not aware of it, Rep. Henry Burns, author of House Bill 48, said the amendment adopted in that committee allows anyone with a permit to bring a gun into a restaurant - provided the owner doesn't object.
In the committee, the amendment was promoted as specifying that officers could carry guns in ...
