Utilities and integrating renewables: A place for government?
Industry forum members say yes ... and no
At the end of December, I wrote about the recently released U.S. Department of Energy/Alstom grid global study in Strategies for success: Integrating renewables in utility control centers.
In the article, I said: "Of keen interest to me, and to electric utility operations personnel, is the clear identification and description within the report of nine current best-practice tools and decision support systems that grid operators in the U.S. and in Europe are using to integrate and manage wind energy (and, in some cases, solar energy, as well.)"
While I was more interested in pointing to the best-practice tools available within the report, an anonymous commenter took up the anti-green-subsidy flag, instead, and wrote: "(T)he whole green energy push is not economically competitive-in fact, it is a scam because every nameplate MW of 'green' energy generation has to be backed up by a MW of some other type of generation, typically fossil-fueled and much of it simple-cycle gas turbines which are a considerable way from being the most efficient users of fuel."
Before joining Energy Central, I wrote about wind energy for many years, and so my dander was raised by what I felt was a gross, and dated, generalization.
So, I reached out to the LinkedIn Smart Grid Executive Forum for input on the subject.
As usual, the forum members did not disappoint. (As this particular group is a members-only forum, I will not be identifying by name any of those who stepped up to comment to my question within the forum's pages.) A wide-ranging discussion and argument ensued, with 69 comments in quick succession. I'd like to share some of those comments here, on both sides of the subsidy equation.
It seems my original commenter is not alone in his sentiment about subsidies. A few forum members were quick out of the traces to take up both sides of the argument.
"Without subsidies, the wind farms would not have been built," one wrote. "On the other hand, without subsidies, there would be no national railroad network, no national defense highway (interstate system), no sewage treatment plants, few hospitals of any size, no drinking water systems, [and] no large hydro-electric dams to speak of. In short, the country has invested (and that is the key here) in almost every large infrastructure project in history ... this is one of the reasons we have governments and taxes, to move the ball forward where large infrastructure investments need to be made."
Another argued that : "Fossil fuel industries enjoy enduring tax breaks that are written into the tax code, while renewable energy financing policies live and die in piecemeal legislative erraticism ... Let's revise the tax code to eliminate the permanent subsidies, royalty forgiveness, and other tax breaks for conventional-fueled systems. If subsidies are bad for young solar and wind power developers, then they are insanely stupid for established oil companies that earn record-breaking profits."
Yet another commenter took issues with government subsidies at all: "Government control of, and funding for, new technology is a relatively recent phenomena in this country, though you wouldn't know it from widespread media coverage of today. Probably the greatest marvel of our age - electricity - was the result of private experimentation and development over a long period of time."
He went on to write, "I think it is a legitimate question to ask whether heavy government support for any technology, including renewables, is a proper function of government in a free-enterprise system, absent wartime requirements."
Free enterprise played a large part in in the wide-ranging direction the discussion ultimately took, but it was tempered, in the end, by the following statement: "I think we ought to consider whether we want 'free enterprise' (usually a nice word for short term profit making at any cost) to exclusively decide the 'winners and losers'. Anyone who has tried to get new ideas, funding for new technology, and real breakthroughs through the management of large companies might disagree that that is the best way to promote new ideas. Most really new commercial ideas are developed in research and development groups and universities that are often supported by public funding as they should be."
I'll leave the final comment to yet another forum member. His sentiment was echoed by about half the commenters.
He said: "Unfortunately too many people get suckered into debates like this without questioning the underlying premise in the argument: that new forms of energy should compete in the free market - subsidies represent government interference. On its face, it sounds great, but if you really think about it, it's absurd and out of touch with reality. The allegedly 'unsubsidized' energy market they talk about is at least as subsidized and in many cases more subsidized than any of these current 'green' incentives ... The proper response to Kate's detractor is that you might agree if ALL subsidies were pulled. Only then can you talk about level playing fields."
My thanks to the LinkedIn Smart Grid Executive Forum for taking up the challenge, and for an excellent, lively forum debate. May we do it again soon!
I'd like to issue a similar challenge to Intelligent Utility Daily readers. What do you feel is the most appropriate way forward regarding industry subsidies? I enjoy - and learn from - a good intellectual argument.

Utilities and integrating renewables: A place for government?
By all means, remove all subsidies. Let's get to free market solutions for R&E, climate change concerns and the "need" for subsidies. Please, as others have asked; what are the specific subsidies going to the electric utility industry for fossil fuels? Do you mean business expenses/deductions? Or is it the R&E credit, bonus depreciation, or other legislation that is not industry specific? All of these "subsidies" are available to all corporations that meet the requirements as stated in the IRC and regulations, irregardless of industry. It is disingenuous to state that certain industries are subsidized when the tax rules apply to a wide swath of the business community. No doubt, there are direct subsidies out there and green energy is one of them but so is ethanol which has proven to negatively impact our economy and food supply. Politicians too often work to their own interests and those of their strongest lobbyists to retain power and not for the good of their constituents or the country. Free market is not about greed for most who believe in it but it's the opportunity to take risk and receive the resulting reward or failure. Let's level the playing field - stop the subsidies and let individuals take risks with their ideas and resources. And get rid of the crazy tax code that is chock full of preferences for specific groups. The article referenced by Kate is hardly unbiased posted on EcoWatch, uniting the voice of the grassroots environmental movement. Again, what are the subsidies being used? Lots of generalities but no specifics for actual analysis.
What next for industry subsidies
The debate has come to the point where - I need a subsidy to be competitive with your subsidized alternative. This is the clear signal that the first subsidy has become a distortion and is no longer leading to social benefits. Also, we may be surprised to see what other innovations arise when customers begin looking for efficiencies in the face of -true- price.

Also, we may be surprised to see what other innovations arise when customers begin looking for efficiencies in the face of "true" price.
With the benefit of hindsight on renewables that's turning into foresight on storage, I think the public interest would have been better served by putting less money into subsidies for building renewables and using some of the savings to fund research aimed at reducing costs and improving performance.
That aside, promoting alternatives to fossil fuels is good public policy, even without getting into a fruitless debate over carbon. Coal-fired generation should be subject to much stricter regulations on emissions since coal is about the dirtiest, nastiest substance on earth when burned. Extracting natural gas poses greater health risks than the producers would have us believe, and the reserve estimates are subject to considerable uncertainty right now. The political and environmental risks associated with extracting oil speak for themselves. Proponents in each industry want you to believe they have the best solution and the only solution, but I think we help ourselves and your children (since I don't have any) by diversifying our sources of primary energy now rather than waiting until there is a crisis.
One more point about oil in particular that frequently gets buried in the debate. US taxpayers fund a large share of the cost of keeping international shipping lanes open to international commerce. At the same time, US oil purchases on the world market help prop up some of the most corrupt, unfriendly regimes on earth. There's no common sense in borrowing money to support a military effort that ensures infettered worldwide commerce in oil while sending money to the same folks who create the threat. The most effective weapon we can wield against these unfriendly governments is to reduce our dependence on imported oil and thereby reduce the amount of money they can use to cause trouble or buy political influence at home. That's only going to happen by forcefully transitioning away from oil for transportation use (we've already used up most of our own oil).

Big difference between infrastructure subsidies
One of the comments in the article above discussed how there would be no sewage treatment plants, drinking water systems, interstate highway system etc without government subsidies. There is a huge difference between these systems and subsidizing wind and solar power in a competitive marketplace where other companies are being put out of business or not being able to forecast their return on investment to build new power plants. I am not aware of any competitive market to treat sewage but it must be done for the general health. Same with drinking water systems. Same with highway systems. And, while these systems were built with taxpayer monies, these systems belong to various governmental entities--there is no private entity that owns and makes money off the taxpayer investment except possibly in the case of railroads--I do not know enough about the subsidies for the railroad network at this time to really comment.
In the case of wind and solar, the subsidies are making it possible for non-competitive--read more expensive--power generation technologies to undercut competing power generators who are operating entirely on their own dime. So the subsidies are skewing a free marketplace to make it no longer a free market place--kind of like China manipulating their currency and dumping products to corner the market so they can raise prices later when competition is non-existant. The subsidies are also causing price increases for commodities such as concrete, steel, copper, rare-earth elements, and--in the case of ethanol subisidies--foodstuffs that impact people and businesses that are not even involved in the power market except as customers--the same people the tax monies that pay the subsidies are coming from.
Please point out the active subsidies for oil and gas that are not deductions for expenses for calculating taxable income. One of the reasons one finds oil and gas companies getting into renewables is the tax credits. There is a big difference in my mind between a tax credit and a deduction. A deduction represents money spent on an expense of doing business while a tax credit is a deduction one gets on the actual calculated tax owed and could actually lead to getting a payment of taxpayer money to the firm getting the tax credit. Everyone seems to be jumping on the oil and gas industry pretty hard because they make big profits--however, from what I understand the profit margins for the oil and gas industry run about 7 to 8%. Now, their total unadjusted income is huge. A small percentage of a huge number is still a pretty big number. Why don't we focus awhile on GE who also made big profits but did not pay any tax. Anyone equating deductions from income for tax calculations to tax credits is being disingenuous.
I read a paper done by someone in the Netherlands that indicated the heavy investment in wind might actually have increased carbon dioxide emissions by about 3%. If I can locate it again I will forward it to Ms. Rowland. Then there is the study done by an economist at the King Juan Carlos University that concluded the heavy investment Spain had done into renewables had actually cost 2.2 jobs for every single green job created.
There seemed to be an implication of duplicity in the mention of the anonymous commenter taking up the "anti-green-subsidy flag" early in the article. That commenter is me. Maybe my stance is a bit harsh kind of like a former alcoholic who has become a tee-totaler. Originally, I believed in the green energy push only to find it is a runaround. I would agree with forgiving green facilities only from property taxes, sales taxes, and even income taxes--but not giving companies who already have other profitable businesses payments of taxpayer money or breaks from taxes for their profitable business activities or cash grants.
This is my personal viewpoint of the issues. As for its connection to integrating renewables--the connection to the original article is that we would not be jumping through hoops spending time and money which will come from taxpayers or ratepayers if there were no subsidies for wind and solar.

green energy subsidies
Nice article Katie, very thoughtful and informative. I might add to the discussion that citizens have spoken: they want green energy and sustainably produced electricity. How do I know this? Over 30 states have passed renewable portfolio standards mandating that utilities ramp up their mix of energy generation to include sustainable sources like wind and solar. And over 1000 mayors have signed the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement representing millions of US Citizens which commits cities to doing more for efficiency and purchasing sustainable sources of energy. These state and local efforts are happening because the US is unable to pass a national energy policy. Government must respond to citizen demands, and that means figuring out how to affordably produce wind and solar energy through R&D. R&D requires government subsidies to have a fighting chance since as your article outlines, the mature fossil fuel industry receives the vast amount of subsidies. No new industry can compete with not only a very profitable mature industry, but indeed, a heavily subsidized mature industry.

Aiken, SC--It's been a magic carpet ride for the ladies of Aiken. Now, two wins away from capturing a state title. Even a late season slip up hasn't derailed the hornets from chasing and maybe even reaching their dreams.
In the playoffs they've been nothing short of spectacular having dispatched a one seed in Summerville and then the second ranked team in the state West Ashley. They dominated West Ashley and were never even challenged. This is a senior dominated team that's playing together for four years and are on the cusp of reaching the ultimate goal
"It's every athlete's biggest dreams to get all the way" said Rebekah Muir "This has been our goal the whole season, we've talked about how we are state championship team. We have every ability to make it all the way and we can do it."
"We never talked about conference championship, we never talked about really tournament championships, the only thing they've been focused on is doing well in the state playoffs." said coach Aubrey Pompey "I think they way they're playing now, that's where their focus has been, getting ready for that."
Standing in their way, the best of the best, Dutch Fork. The Silver Foxes are riding a 38 game win streak. Aiken gave 'em a run last time out losing by just five. They did that without Monique Tyler who can be a difference maker against their star Alaina Coates
"I think we can really do it if we play like we've been doing, I think we can beat them if we play like we're suppose to play" said Monique Tyler
"Any piece of that puzzle that's missing, we can struggle, especially against a real good team like Dutch Fork" added Pompey "But having everyone in place, having her on the court, it gives us a better chance
Aiken's star guard Erin Gilmore is a question mark after an injury last time out. Coach Pompey thinks she'll be ready to go, but either way he knows this Hornet team will leave it all on the court tomorrow night in Florence.

Kanye West interrupted a show in Tampa on Saturday night, three songs in, to complain about the show not being right and he ended up storming off the stage! Apparently, the wrong lights were on, and he demanded that they be turned off "now." At some point, he also said the lasers shooting out of the onstage mountain "suck." Later on, Kanye yelled at some woman named "Laura" for apparently forgetting to give him the, "deep voice" on his mic and he was upset that his big LED screen was showing him in color, not black-and-white. He eventually returned and the show resumed. WARNING: Kanye drops an F-bomb in this video!
In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, the producers of "Dancing with the Stars" are hoping to do a season packed with former Academy Award winners. Supposedly, Renee Zellweger is on their wish list. She won an Oscar for "Cold Mountain" in 2003, and did a little dancing in the 2002 movie "Chicago". For now, no other names have been mentioned. They probably wouldn't be able to land the bigger names, like Angelina Jolie, Robert DeNiro, Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and Sandra Bullock . But someone like Hilary Swank or Cuba Gooding Jr. might fit the show's typical mold of fading stars who need a career jolt. You could probably score one of the dudes from Three 6 Mafia, who won a Best Original Song Oscar for "Hustle and Flow". And even Cher could come back and try to outdo her son Chaz's epic run on the show?
The cast of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is growing! Rita Ora has just been cast to play Mia, the outgoing adopted sister of billionaire Christian Grey. She's the Rihanna look-a-like if you ask me. She used to date Bruno Mars and Rob Kardashian and has been with Calvin Harris since May. The rest of the cast looks like this:
Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey
Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele
Eloise Mumford as Kate, Anastasia's best friend and roommate
Luke Grimes as Elliot, Christian's brother
Victor Rasuk as José, Anastasia's close friend
Jennifer Ehle as Anastasia's mother, Carla
Max Martini as Jason Taylor, Christian's bodyguard and head of his security team
Last month Universal moved the film's release date from August 1, 2014, to Valentine's weekend 2015.
Barbara Walters has revealed some of the celebrities who will be featured on her 21st annual "Most Fascinating People of the Year" special. As usual, the list has 10 entries. She's released nine of them ahead of time while the Number One most fascinating person won't be unveiled until the special airs on December 18th. Here are the ones we know now:
Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden
The stars of "Duck Dynasty"
Miley Cyrus
"Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts
Prince George, the newborn son of Prince William and Kate Middleton
Pope Francis
Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad
The show will also pay tribute to the previous 20 years of Barbara's "Most Fascinating People of the Year" specials, which started in 1993. Barbara is retiring in May, so this will be her last one. I think it'd be dope if she listed HERSELF!!! It's her last one! Ha ha ha!!

Weekend fishing opportunities
Fishing for summer steelhead is now good on the John Day River.
Two-salt steelhead (larger fish) are making up the majority of the run on the Grande Ronde River.
Approximately 150 trophy-sized rainbow trout have been stocked into Luger Springs Pond for fall fishing.
GRANDE RONDE RIVER: steelhead, trout, whitefish, bass
Angler reports indicate good fishing and improving catch rates around 4.5 hours per fish and catch is split between hatchery and wild fish. Anglers are finding success from Wildcat Creek to the Washington state line.
A recent pulse of water will have encouraged fish up from Snake and lower river. Steelhead are taking diverse gear including various baits, jigs, spinners and swung flies.
Nymphing small flies such as glo-bugs and prince nymphs under an indicator can also be a deadly method. With low water temperatures, fish are being found in slow runs and tail outs. Steelhead numbers are down this year but angling pressure is too, which leaves plenty of room to find fish.
This year's run consists of a higher percentage of two-salt fish and anglers are catching fair numbers of fish ranging from 27 to 31 inches. Bull trout are present in the system and anglers are required to release them unharmed.
IMNAHA RIVER: steelhead, trout, whitefish
Steelhead are in the system and anglers have had some success this fall. Angling will improve into spring as more fish move into the system. A recent pulse of water will have encouraged fish up from the Snake and fishing should continue to improve. Steelhead are taking a variety of gear from various baits under a float or bounced on the bottom to swung flies.
Nymphing small flies including glo-bugs and prince nymphs can be an effective method as well. This year's run of fish is made up of a larger number of two-salt fish (larger fish) which may offer a better workout for your drag.
Trout season is closed as of Oct. 31. However, angling for whitefish remains open throughout the steelhead season below the mouth of Big Sheep Creek. Look for whitefish in deeper runs and holes, and target them using beaded nymphs.
Bull trout are present this time of year and anglers are reminded to handle bull trout carefully and immediately release them.
JOHN DAY RIVER: steelhead
Flows have stabilized near 400 cubic feet per second allowing shallow draft boat navigation.
Steelhead have entered the lower John Day River in good numbers and are being caught up to Cottonwood Bridge. Most are wild and must be released without removing them from the water. Steelhead are being caught on flies, jigs, bait and spinning lures.
Trout fishing on the upper John Day River and tributaries closed Oct. 31.
LUGER SPRINGS POND: rainbow
Approximately 150 trophy-sized rainbow trout have been stocked into Luger Springs Pond for a great fall fishing opportunity.
MAGONE LAKE: rainbow and brook trout
Fishing is fair for rainbow and brook trout. Large brook trout are staging to spawn near the swimming beach. The lake should remain unfrozen for at least a few more weeks.
MORGAN LAKE: trout, bullheads, bass
Closed to fishing Oct. 31.
OLIVE LAKE: rainbow and kokanee
Fishing is fair for rainbow trout but all large kokanee have spawned and died for this year. The lake should remain unfrozen for at least a few more weeks.
PEACH POND (Ladd Marsh): rainbow trout
The pond was stocked with legal-sized rainbow trout in late September providing a fall fishing opportunity. A parking permit is required to be on the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area.
ROULET POND: rainbow trout
The pond was stocked with legal-sized rainbow trout in late September providing a fall fishing opportunity.
WALLOWA LAKE: rainbow trout, kokanee, lake trout
The Wallowa River above the lake closed to fishing Aug. 31. There may be some stocked rainbows available near the north and south ends of the lake.
These fish can be found on a variety of gear types, and provide some late-season opportunity. For the hearty fisherman, kokanee can be caught at the south end of the lake by jigging deep and can produce if the lake freezes.
Boat launching, however, may prove difficult after docks have been removed from the lake.
WALLOWA RIVER: steelhead, trout, whitefish
Steelhead will move into the Wallowa River as winter progresses and catch rates will improve through spring. Anglers have found a few early fish above and below Minam and fishing should begin to improve through the first of the year. Trout season closed Oct. 31.
However, angling for whitefish remains open with the steelhead season and will produce throughout the winter. Anglers can target whitefish using a variety of light tackle, and fly anglers can find success using beaded nymphs in runs and pools.
BROWNLEE RESERVOIR: crappie, bass, perch, catfish, bluegill, trout
Current water level is at 2,061 feet. A few bluegill and small crappie are being caught in deeper water. Call the Idaho Power Co. recording at 1-800-422-3143 to get information on access at recreational sites.
OXBOW RESERVOIR: trout, crappie, bass, catfish
Trout should be accessible, especially at creek mouths. Additional fingerling steelhead are being stocked for future fishing opportunity. Fishing remains fair for catfish.
HELLS CANYON RESERVOIR: trout, crappie, bass, catfish
Trout should be accessible, especially at creek mouths. Approximately 580 surplus steelhead have been stocked in Hells Canyon reservoir. These fish are considered trout and only one over 20 inches may be taken per day, with two daily limits in
SNAKE RIVER below HELLS CANYON RESERVOIR: trout, salmon, sturgeon
Fall chinook fishing below Hells Canyon dam is closed as of Oct. 31. Steelhead fishing is improving below the dam, and anglers are reporting catch rates around seven hours per fish caught.
Water conditions are conducive to catching fish with temps and clarity looking good.
Steelhead anglers are reminded that barbles hooks are required. Anglers are also reminded that, new for 2012, only adipose-clipped trout may be kept in the Snake River.
Idaho Power has imposed restrictions on access to the Oregon side of Hells Canyon dam to conduct maintenence on the dam. Anglers should be aware of the closure schedule through Dec. 12. The dam is closed from 8 am to noon, open from noon to 1 p.m., and closed again from 1 p.m. until sunset.
SNAKE RIVER (above Brownlee Reservoir): channel catfish, flathead catfish, smallmouth bass
Fishing is slow. Flows at the Nyssa gauge averaged 8,047 cubic feet per second and flows at the Weiser gauge averaged 11,282 cubic feet per second (Nov. 25).
Water temperature of the Snake River near Weiser continues to cool; it was 43˚F on Nov. 25. Boaters should continue to use caution on the Snake River. Debris remains in the river.
Haines and North Powder ponds have been stocked with rainbows for a fall fishing opportunity.
HAINES POND: rainbow
The pond was stocked with legal rainbow trout the week of Sept. 20, providing a fall fishing opportunity.
HWY 203 POND: trout, bass, bluegill
Fishing is fair.
NORTH POWDER POND: rainbow trout, bluegill
The pond was stocked with legal-sized rainbow trout in late September providing a fall fishing opportunity.
PHILLIPS RESERVOIR: trout, perch
The water level is at 38 percent full. Fishing for 8 to 14-inch rainbows is fair.
PILCHER RESERVOIR: trout, crappie
Closed for the winter.
POWDER RIVER: trout, spring chinook
Catch-and-release for trout is allowed using flies and lures only from Hughes Lane Bridge in Baker City, upstream to Mason Dam. The remaining portions of the Powder River are closed.
THIEF VALLEY RESERVOIR: trout
The reservoir is slowly filling but the boat ramp is not in the water yet.
UNITY RESERVOIR: trout, bass, crappie
Water level is very low and folks are catching a few trout. The harvest of bass from Unity Reservoir is prohibited through Dec. 31.
This rule is needed to protect bass planted in Unity Reservoir for the purpose of providing a trophy fishery. Low water conditions make these rule modifications necessary to protect all year classes of bass found in this reservoir.
WOLF CREEK RESERVOIR: crappie, trout
The concrete ramp is out of the water, so only very small rafts and float tubes are launchable. No recent fishing report but trout fishing should be good.

AIKEN, S.C. -- Investigators with the Aiken Department of Public Safety arrested 28-year-old Jamar Nicholas White on Tuesday evening for the New Year's Eve murder of Joseph Brown.
White is charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. -- Fairfield Street in Aiken is quiet. The mood, like Tuesday's sky, is gray. What's left on the ground there tells a story of celebration turned into pain. Strings of confetti are left only yards away from leftover snippets of crime scene tape.
"We love and miss our Uncle Joe. He was a kind and generous person. He was always giving," said Michael Thomas, who lives in an apartment next to the crime scene.
On Tuesday morning, Thomas' new year started with tears. His 22-year-old uncle Joseph Brown is dead -- Aiken County's first murder for 2013. It appears to be South Carolina's first murder this year, too.
The Aiken Department of Public Safety responded Monday around 9:30 p.m. to reports on gunshots in the area, which many neighbors thought were fireworks.
Officers found the victim breathing, though he'd been shot multiple times.
Brown was pronounced dead at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning at Georgia Health Sciences University in Augusta.
On Monday night, officers used metal detectors to locate a handful of shell casings, but they didn't find a suspect or a possible motive.
Around noon on Tuesday, investigators searched some more. A deputy coroner snapped photos as investigators from the city combed through the pale grass in daylight.
"I think my Uncle Joe got shot over something childish, and even if he did get shot, they didn't have to shoot him that many times, because he got a family. They wouldn't want nobody to shoot them like that," Thomas said.
On New Year's Day, the nephew is praying for answers and that someone will come forward in an area where surely someone knows something.
"We love and miss you, Uncle Joe, and we hope that the dude get brought to justice," he said.
News 12 is told that Brown was a graduate of South Aiken High School and had two young children with a woman he'd been with for eight or nine years.

Maine has become the first state to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote.
Voters in Maryland also approved a same-sex marriage measure. In Minnesota, voters rejected a measure to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.
Washington state is voting on a similar measure and the results are not expected until late Wednesday.
Gay marriage is legal in six states and Washington, D.C., but those laws were either enacted by lawmakers or through court rulings. In popular votes, more than 30 states had previously held elections on same-sex marriage, with all losing.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- Joe Harris scored 22 points, seven during a game-ending 13-6 run, and Virginia beat No. 19 North Carolina State 58-55 on Tuesday night, the Cavaliers' fourth straight victory.
Akil Mitchell added 14 points for Virginia (15-5, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), including an 18-foot jumper that put them ahead to stay, as the second-stingiest defense in the country put the clamps on.
North Carolina State (16-5, 5-3), which arrived averaging nearly 80 points per game, became the 17th team, including all seven ACC opponents, to be held under 60 points by Virginia.
C.J. Leslie, playing despite being under the weather, led the Wolfpack with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Richard Howell had 12 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Leslie missed what would have been a tying free throw with 3:20 left, and when Jontel Evans hit two from the line with 26 seconds left, the lead was three. The Wolfpack never got off a good shot in the closing seconds.

Just Being Audrey
Product Actions
From Roman Holiday to Breakfast at Tiffany's, when Audrey Hepburn starred in a movie, she lit up the screen. Her unique sense of fashion, her grace, and, most important, her spirit made her beloved by generations. But her life off screen was even more luminous. As a little girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, she learned early on that true kindness is the greatest measure of a person—and it was a lesson she embodied as she became one of the first actresses to use her celebrity to shine a light on the impoverished children of the world through her work with UNICEF.
This is Audrey Hepburn as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey.

Economy faces devastation without action from Congress
Ignorance is not bliss. However, there are too many of us who are ignoring the discussion about a legislative maneuver known as "Sequestration." This is also known by a more descriptive term — the "Fiscal Cliff" (Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke coined this phrase). Unless this is updated, all financial rules and budgeting will come to a halt on December 31, 2012. Let me tell you about a few of the programs that are at risk. One program is the funding of our military. Continue Reading →

Comments On Apr 05, 2014:I've never had much luck with these from any brand, but decided to give it another try since Wolfman makes some great stuff. However, after several attempts to tighten the straps sufficiently and keep it secure in rough terrain, no luck. Even tried using pliers to grab the straps and tighten. It seems the only way to keep one of these secure is to rivet or bolt the strap hooks to your fender. Good Luck!

Comments On Oct 14, 2013:I thought I had this thing as tight as possible. I even had the front two hooks wedged between the fender and side panels. But, about 4-5 miles into an enduro I heard a strange noise, when I looked down the bag was wrapped around my rear tire and sprocket. Of corse all of tools and spares had fallen out already. I figure it was around a $100 oops. Next time I will buy a bag that bolts on.

Comments On Aug 23, 2013:If you have much more than a tube the straps come loose. it would be nice if the fender bag was as secure as the rear Wolfman enduro bag is. I carry the tools for the family (wife and daughter ride with me). So I need lots of carrying places. The front fender bag straps flop around, get loose, and eventually become undone. I have tried to tuck the straps under the bag, then it is not as easy to access the bag. I have read on the net from other users that it may be a good idea to notch the fender where the strap attaches. I think I will try this, and add rubber bands for the floppy straps. All in all not bad for the price, and the material is good quality, I just wish they would have thought out the build a little more.

- "Times are changing. The families can't keep their backs turned while our enemies reap the rewards. So we send someone down to do the dirty work for us and cut ourselves a nice, quiet slice..."
- ―Sonny Forelli
Sonny Forelli was a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appeared as the main antagonist in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (set in 1986) and was mentioned in The Introduction, a prequel from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992).
Sonny was the Don of the Forelli Family, with Vice City Police Department criminal files stating that he came to power young. Sonny's businesses included Marco's Bistro and drug dealing. He wears a blue sport coat, animal print shirt, black dress pants and shoes. An artwork shows him in a pink soiree suit with black shirt and aviator glasses.
Sonny was voiced by Tom Sizemore.
Early Life
Sonny Forelli was born and raised in Liberty City. Sonny joined and became the Don of the Forelli Family at a young age, according to the Vice City Police Department criminal files. During his youth, he became a good friend of Tommy Vercetti, though Sonny's feelings toward Tommy changed over the time, with the latter's rapid rise within the family leading to jealousy.
The Ambush
In 1971, Sonny had led Tommy into an ambush in Harwood (located in Liberty City), telling Tommy he was to assassinate a key mobster. Tommy survived the ambush but was arrested by the Liberty City Police Department and imprisoned. Sonny continued in his various illegal activities, which by 1986 are believed to be rackeetering, gambling, unions, corruption and prostitution, making the Forelli family the most powerful Mafia family at that time.
Events of GTA Vice City
Tommy's release
- "Tommy Vercetti...Huh! Shit. Didn't think they'd ever let him out."
- ―Sonny to his right-hand man.
Upon Tommy's release, Sonny decides to send him down south. Through his contact in Vice City, Ken Rosenberg, they organize a drug deal with the Vance crime family. The deal is ambushed, resulting in the deaths of Forelli mobsters Harry and Lee and Vance Crime Family boss Victor Vance.
Tommy later informs Sonny of the ambush, with Sonny reacting angrily, seemingly holding Tommy responsible for the recovery of the money and the drugs regardless of whose fault it was.
'Behind the scenes'
Ken Rosenberg later begins to employ Tommy Vercetti and helps him establish himself in the city, introducing him to a number of the cities key people, including Colonel Juan Cortez, who helped Rosenberg set up the deal, and real estate mogul Avery Carrington. Rosenberg, fearing Sonny's retribution, hides in his office for a number of days, but does send Tommy to intimidate two jurors prosecuting Sonny's cousin Giorgio.
Sonny allows Tommy to establish a business empire in the city, realising it is the only way for Tommy to repay his debt and hoping the new influence in Florida will bring great rewards for the family in Liberty City. However, after Tommy manages to find and eliminate those responsible for the ambushed drug deal, Gonzalez and the city's ruling drug baron Ricardo Diaz, and still shows no sign of paying back the stolen money, Sonny begins to become impatient. Eventually, Sonny takes matters into his own hands and sends some of his men to forcibly collect money from Tommy's numerous businesses.
- Tommy: "You took fifteen years from me, Sonny, and now I'm gonna make you pay!"
- Sonny: "You still don't get it do you? I own you, Tommy! Those fifteen years were mine to spend! Get him, boys; he never understood a thing."
- ―Tommy and Sonny's last conversation before Sonny's death.
Tommy eliminates Sonny's men, but, realizing retaliation will swiftly follow, devises a plan to pay Sonny off using counterfeit money printed at his print works. When Sonny arrives in Vice City to collect, however, he reveals that Lance Vance, Tommy's closest friend, has joined forces with him and informed him of the counterfeiting scheme. Being forewarned about Tommy's deception, Sonny arrives at the Vercetti estate in force, accompanied by a large number of gunmen, intending to eliminate Tommy and seize his businesses for the Forelli Family.
A huge gun fight erupts, during which Sonny finally confirms Tommy's suspicions that he was in fact set up in 1971. The shootout concludes with the deaths of Lance and Sonny, alongside countless Forelli Family mobsters.
- "Ever since Sonny Forelli got himself pasted all over Florida, you think you run things in this town."
- ―Salvatore Leone to Johnny Sindacco.
Salvatore Leone, the Don of the Leone Family, in 1992 informs Johnny Sindacco of the Sindacco Family that the death of Sonny Forelli dealt a severe blow to the Forelli Family, allowing the Sindacco Family to gain a signifigant amount of power in Liberty City. Salvatore states that "ever since Sonny Forelli got himself pasted all over Florida", criminals such as the Sindacco Family think that they can rule the Forellis' former businesses. A film about Sonny's life, entitled "Sonny Forelli: A True Story" is advertised in Liberty City in 1998.
Sonny Forelli is voiced by Tom Sizemore. His name is similar to Miami Vice character Sonny Crockett, whilst his temper is similar to Santino Corleone (known as Sonny) from The Godfather novel and film series. Sonny Corleone also voices opinions about becoming involved in the heroin trade, as Sonny does, although Sonny Forelli wishes to deal in drugs in general, not just heroin.

More Trike Wing Innovation From Gibson
Swing Wing Option on GibboGear Trike Wings
GibboGear's new Swing Wing option is shown here on a BabyButterfly trike wing mounted on the BB Trike imported from Hungary. The braced "nose post" (sticking up above the wing's nose) and extra pair of top wires support each leading edge as the wings are swung open or closed.
Mark "Gibbo" Gibson's trike wing manufacturing company, Butterfly Wings by GibboGear, is getting a reputation for innovations in trike wing design and convenience. Identifying a "niche market" for a stable trike wing with easy and predictable handling characteristics, Gibson began making and marketing his Butterfly trike wing. Gibson used his experience as a World Class hang gliding competition pilot and hang glider designer to develop the single-surface Butterfly trike wing,* designed for stability in turbulence as well as easy and predictable handling during takeoffs and landings. The Butterfly trike wing continues to be the company's "bread and butter" product, according to Gibson.
Located at the Lake Wales Municipal Airport (XØ7), Butterfly Wings by GibboGear's product line has expanded rapidly since Gibson started manufacturing trike wings in '99. The company's products now include the single-surface Butterfly trike wing (in three sizes - the original 21-meter Butterfly trike wing, the 17-meter BabyButterfly** and the just-released 15-meter MiniButterfly), the faster double-surface Firefly trike wing*** (a higher-performing trike wing for more experienced trike pilots), and the BB Trike****( a top-of-the-line fully loaded trike Gibson imports from Hungary). And now, GibboGear has released their patent-pending Swing Wing - an innovative option to speed the time-consuming chore of many trikers who set up their trike wings (usually a 20- to 30-minute task) each time before they fly and break them down again at day's end.
"Have you ever dreamed of a trike wing that would just swing open?" GibboGear asks. Well, Gibson did, and now he has designed and developed one, available on all GibboGear trike wings.
"Using a small braced 'nose post' [similar to a kingpost] and an extra top wire, we are able to swing the wings' leading edges open and closed like a gate with the aid of a 2-to-1 pulley system attached to the pull-back [wing tensioning] cable," GibboGear explains. "The Swing Wing comes with a special protective bag that covers the folded wings, allowing the still-attached control bar and lower (flying) wires to stick out, so the entire trike and wing can be trailered."
Word of the Swing Wing option already has spread among trikers and potential trikers. The Swing Wing option is being ordered on 30% of GibboGear's trike wings, Gibson claims.
Price for GibboGear's Swing Wing option is $400.

The best way to access CAPS services is through CUNow, a walk-in clinic where students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. We ask that you plan on about an hour. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete the initial paperwork. You will then see a counselor for a brief session.
CUNow refers to the CAPS walk-in clinic. It operates Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A student can walk in, without an appointment, and be seen by a counselor for a brief triage session. You will be asked to complete the initial paperwork, which takes 20-30 minutes.
Students are asked to complete the initial paperwork. This takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will then see a counselor for a brief session — usually less than 30 minutes. During your time with the counselor, you will have an opportunity to talk about the concerns that brought you to CAPS. A brief assessment will be done, and you will receive recommendations for continued care.
Absolutely. CAPS honors a student's right to confidentiality, except where specified by law.
CAPS will honor the five exceptions to confidentiality as defined by law.
Mental health records are not part of the academic records.
CAPS will neither confirm nor deny if a student is receiving services at CAPS, even when well-intentioned third parties inquire. Unless of course, you give us consent, in writing, to disclose this information to someone of your choosing.
When a student pays the health fee, he/she has access to the CAPS services at no cost. Some CAPS services carry a fee; these include: psychiatric consultation, nutritional counseling, psychological evaluations/testing and mandated ACTT assessments.
Both modalities are good; however, you and your counselor can determine the optimal form of intervention.
Counseling is appropriate for anyone who is troubled by a specific problem or has a general concern. Most students will use their existing coping skills to resolve their concerns. If, after using these skills, a student is still struggling, then accessing professional services is recommended.
In case of emergency/crisis, students can access the CAPS counselor on call. Simply call Clemson University Police Department at 864-656-2222, and ask to speak to the CAPS counselor on call. You will be asked to give your name and phone number, and the counselor will call you back. This service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
English is the main language of CAPS counselors. You can bring a translator if desired. At present, CAPS has counselors fluent in German and Spanish.
Religious counseling is not provided by CAPS. However, if spirituality is a strength, or a concern, counselors will be sensitive to your inquiries.

Water Quality
Beneficial Use Attainment
Stream life and fishing are both threatened by occasional low dissolved oxygen (MDNR 1984). Point sources are the predominant cause of excessive nutrients leading to nutrification of Muddy Creek. Seasonal peaks occur in agricultural subwatersheds, but high levels of phosphorous, ammonia, nitrate and nitrites reach the system from Sedalia's sewage treatment plants and agriculture dependent industry. This is reflected within the aquatic invertebrate community as well. A specific beetle, family Staphylinidae, is commonly associated with cattle manure and was collected in good numbers on Flat Creek during summer months in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Whole-body recreation and boating on the Lamine River is usually safe but high levels of fecal coliform bacteria are sometimes found during high flows.
Chemical Quality of Stream Flow, Contaminants and Fish Kills
A review of MDC records revealed that several stream reaches in the Lamine River Basin have had chronic problems supporting fish populations. Low base flows during the summer contribute to these water quality problems. Most of these reaches are associated with point sources including Sedalia's sewage treatment plants and agriculture related industry. During the 1960's, effluent from Sedalia's south sewage treatment plant caused chronic fish kills in tributaries leading to Flat Creek as well as in the mainstem of Flat Creek. In 1967, fish were killed in 20 miles of Flat Creek due to high ammonia and/or low dissolved oxygen resulting from sewage effluent from the south plant. In 1971, 4000 fish were killed in the same reach of Flat Creek. Throughout the 1970's the problem continued until a new south sewage treatment plant was completed in 1985. Although fish kills in Flat Creek near Sedalia are no longer common, tributaries leading to Muddy Creek are chronically affected by raw sewage during storm runoff. Throughout the 1980's, poor separation of raw sewage from storm runoff has resulted in degraded conditions in Sewer Branch (Pearl River) which empties into Muddy Creek north of Sedalia. The reach of Sewer Branch above U.S. Highway 65 is frequently black from raw sewage effluent and is usually not habitable to fish. The city of Sedalia plans to improve the system to divert the sewage from the storm runoff but it will take several years to complete.
Repairs at Sedalia's central sewage treatment plant which releases effluent into Muddy Creek via Brushy Creek resulted in a fish kill in September 1990. Due to cool weather and rains, an accurate count of dead fish was difficult to obtain. Poorly treated sewage polluted the stream from September 1990 to March 1991 and did not met Missouri Water Quality Standards for ammonia or BOD during this time.
A major fish kill occured in November 1989, when sewage effluent from a chicken layer operation polluted Long Branch and Muddy Creek, resulting in high ammonia levels which killed approximately 20,000 fish. Approximately 14 miles of Long Branch and Muddy Creeks were affected beginning just upstream from the Johnson/Pettis County line. A project is currently underway to determine the extent of recolonization by fish and invertebrates in the reach which was almost devoid of life following the fish kill. The project is being conducted by MDC Fisheries regional personnel.
Drift and egg deposition from adult insects such as chironomid midges, dipterans, mayflies and stoneflies began to contribute to recovery by 22 weeks after the manure spill. The presence of a highly imbalanced invertebrate community at sites A, B, C and D indicates that the invertebrates had not yet recovered 50 weeks after the manure spill. Invertebrate sampling was not conducted after week 50.
Many fish and invertebrate species in Muddy Creek are fairly tolerant to organic enrichment. Steady improvement in fish abundance within all trophic groups by week 33 after the manure spill shows that recovery was well underway by then. However, fluctuations in abundance of fish species and individual fish continued to be relatively greater at polluted sites compared to the reference site at week 241. Greater fish trophic group instability observed at polluted sites compared to the reference site indicates that fish populations had not fully recovered within 241 weeks of the initial pollution event. The relative scarcities of sunfish > 7 inches and black bass > 12 inches at the polluted sites compared to what was observed during the fish kill provides further evidence that these species had not totally recovered 241 weeks after the fish kill. The low numbers of larger sunfish and bass that are available to anglers have greatly diminished the attractiveness of Muddy Creek for angling, since these sizes are more readily sought by anglers.
Water quality in streams of the Lamine River Basin is not routinely monitored. Dissolved oxygen, temperature and ammonia levels have been measured in association with fish kill investigations. As indicated above, typical water quality problems include low dissolved oxygen and/or high ammonia levels resulting from non-point and point-source pollution. Historic water quality data exists from a previous USGS gage station on the mainstem Lamine River near its confluence with the Blackwater River. Data for the period from 1979 to 1986 are available from MDC Streams South personnel or the USGS. The Missouri Department of Health's advisory pertaining to fatty fishes outside of the Ozarks is applicable to fish caught anywhere in the Lamine River watershed. The advisory says you should eat no more than one pound per week of fatty fishes such as catfish, carp, buffalo, drum, suckers or paddlefish from anywhere in Missouri outside the Ozark region.
Water Use
Currently there are two public surface water withdrawals from the Lamine River Basin. The city of Sedalia withdraws water from Spring Fork Lake and has an auxiliary supply on Flat Creek (Pettis County S22, T45, R21). MDNR's current record of water users does not list any major water withdrawals (greater than 100,000 gallons/day) from the basin for irrigation or industry as of 1987. More current data is being compiled at this time (Jeanette Barnett, MDNR, Personal Communication).
Point Source Pollution
Almost all of Pettis County lies within the Lamine River watershed. From 1990 to 1994, twenty-four water quality investigations were performed in Pettis County. Three of these resulted in fish kills. Agriculture manure was identified as the cause of 5 of the 16 known causes. From 1995 thru July of 1999, twenty-eight water quality investigations were performed in Lamine River watershed. Six resulted in Fish Kills. Agriculture manure was identified in 15 of 23 known causes.
Although several point source discharges exist in the Lamine River basin (MDNR 1984), most pollution problems have been associated with effluent from the Sedalia area. Raw sewage commonly enters Sewer Branch during periods of high runoff due to poor diversion of solid waste from the storm sewer system to the north sewage treatment plant. This combined sewage outfall is located near the Grand Avenue crossing on Pearl River. Raw sewage has been observed in the river, which is unclassified for any beneficial use by MDNR, for at least one mile downstream from the outfall. Other than problems associated with the combined sewage outfall on Pearl River, point-source pollution is limited in the Lamine River basin.
NonPoint Source Pollution
In 1997 there were an estimated 88,675 dairy and beef cattle in watershed. There were 67,830 hogs and pigs in watershed. The number of poultry occuring at any one time includes 5.7 million broiler chickens, ½ million breeders, 336,000 pullets, and 1.1 million turkeys.
In 1992 there was an estimated 1.5 million people equivalents (PE) of livestock in the Lamine River watershed. An estimate made in 1999 shows 2.6 million PE. The difference is almost entirely explained by the addition of 1.2 million PE added by chickens since 1992.
There are two small abandoned coal mined areas on upper Muddy Creek in Johnson County which may cause occasional minor problems with low pH, high sulfate and high iron levels in the receiving streams. To report incidents of pollution contact the Department of Natural Resources.

The Crystal Gongs
First used in the Master Minute Repeater of 2007, the patented 'crystal gong' features gongs attached to a layer of metallic foil coated onto the watch's crystal to deliver the best possible sound. Made of a special, secret alloy, they are manufactured completely in one piece from the gong foot through to the whole wire; their cross section being square and not round in order to provide a larger contact point for the hammer which in turn can strike more forcefully. The crystal glass is then pressed into the case made of white gold – a case-material with one of the highest acoustic yield – sealing the watch.

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. -- A surveillance video clearly shows a vehicle running into a high school student in a Walmart parking lot last week, according Bartow County Sheriff investigators.
They released that video on Wednesday and for the first time the victim talked about what happened. Emily Gulledge, a Bartow County High School student said she doesn't believe the woman who hit her is being punished enough.

"I figured she would have my best interest in mind," said Gulledge. "I figured she would watch out for my safety and she clearly did not. I feel like she let everybody down."
Angela Cornett is charged with reckless conduct, a misdemeanor. Investigators say no matter the argument she was having with Gulledge, she had no reason to run her over.
Gulledge said she was saving a parking space for her brother's girlfriend who recently had a baby. She was standing in the space in front of the Cartersville Walmart when Cornett pulled up in her white Lexus SUV.

Cornett's attorney, John Mroczko, said Cornett regrets the situation, but what she did does not merit criminal charges. "Mrs. Cornett did not think that the girl was in the middle of the space and was blocking the space so she started to pull into the space (and) the girl walked into Mrs. Cornett's car," he said.
It has been a she said, she said story publicly until Wednesday when Bartow County investigators released a video of the incident from the Walmart parking lot.
Investigators said the video clearly shows the vehicle lunging into Gulledge. "You can't tell close up how she was struck or exactly how hard she was struck," said Sgt. Jonathan Rogers. "But you can see that she was standing there when the vehicle lurched forward and had to move out of the way quickly."
Though she wasn't injured seriously, Sgt. Rogers said the black streak on Emily's pant leg is evidence she was hit by the vehicles tire.
"As you can see in the video she stops and my leg is caught up in the tread of the tire," Gulledge said.
Bartow County investigators say there could be more charges Sgt. Rogers said Cornett could face more charges. Bartow County School Superintendent John Harper said he would not comment on Cornett's status until a hearing is held by the Board of Education.

TAMPA BAY, Florida - The state may not be in a drought anymore, but with the way some homeowners consume water, a drought may happen sooner than nature intended.
While the average Tampa Bay family uses roughly 70,000 gallons of water a year, reviews of public records reveal some homeowners use nearly 50 times that amount.
CALCULATOR: How much water is your family using?
Several dozen single-family residences consumed more than one million gallons of water last year and most are repeat offenders.
Bucs Co-Chairman Bryan Glazer, philanthropist David Straz, former NBA star Matt Geiger, Republican fundraiser and developer Al Austin, and infomercial king Kevin Harrington are all members of the "Million Gallon Club."
But the water king of Tampa Bay is Lazydays R.V. founder Don Wallace. His Bayshore Blvd. mansion consumed 3.3 million gallons of water in 2009. And that was down about 3 million gallons from his 2008 consumption.
Some prominent members of Tampa Bay's "Million Gallon Club":
"Conservation is always important here in Florida because we have very limited water resources here," said Robyn Felix, spokesperson for Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
Although Florida's reservoirs are full, thanks to healthy summer rains, a dry fall so far is the start of what is forecasted to be 6-9 months of dry "La Nina" conditions.
"By this time next year," Felix said, "we could be in a much more serious situation."
SWFWMD says the next drought could be less than 12 months away, so part of its conservation message has been to ask local water agencies to adopt surcharges for the most extreme users in a period of water shortage.
Several local agencies have obliged, with St. Petersburg even adopting year-round surcharges for its highest tier-users.
Even though SWFWMD lifted the severe drought restrictions last summer, some watering restrictions remain in-place. Click here to find out when you can water.
The agency also tries to educate about conservation as much as possible so the next drought isn't as painful on the state's resources as the last one.
Polk County, Pasco County, and New Port Richey statistics were not available.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 4, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Four dogs have gone missing in two weeks, and neighbors don't know why.
Like they've done many times before, brothers Joshua and Helton Jasmin are playing catch, but there's something missing this time ... their Siberian Husky, Moon.
"I remember she used to come and sit in my lap," said 6-year-old Joshua.
Moon was taken from her crate outside their back door last Saturday. Now, these brothers only have pictures to remind them of their dog.
The boys aren't the only one missing their pet. Their grandmother, Allison Durrance, also wants Moon back.
"She's super sweet. Very loving," Durrance said.
The weird thing is, Moon isn't the only dog missing in the area.
"There's at least three other dogs that have been taken within the last two weeks," Durrance said.
The brothers still have their cat to play with for now, but they pray every night that they will see Moon again soon.
"I really loved her because she was somebody I used to play with," Joshua said.
And his younger brother agrees.
"I loved her with my whole heart," Helton said.
The crate is empty tonight, but this grandmother hopes that will change soon, at least for her grandchildren's sake
"They adored her and she them. She was like a little kid with them as well," Durrance said.
Helton has a message for whoever took his dog.
"Give me my dog back," the 5-year-old said.
