So, you want to begin your career in Human Resources and you don't know where to start? You're concerned because you have little to no experience in the industry but you have a desire to grow as a professional in the field. Well, get out your pen and pad, strike a match under your open and creative mind, and let's begin to self assess; you may be closer to your dream than you know.
Step 1
When contemplating this next big career move ask yourself what it is you like about the human resource profession. After you've pondered the pros and the cons and you still want to move forward, start by going to the source; work on getting your certification in HR. The suggested and most widely recognized certification for new HR professionals is the PHR(Professional in Human Resources) administered by HRCI (Human Resource Certification Institute). Human resource certifications go a long way in getting your foot in the door of HR in almost any industry, especially if you don't have a lot of experience. The PHR is one of the most widely recognized certifications and it indicates that you are capable of performing entry level roles in human resources.
Step 2
If you are not ready to study for six months to prepare yourself for the PHR certification and you feel like you need more training, think about returning to school and getting a degree in Business with an HR focus or a degree in Human Resource Management. There are some great colleges, both traditional and online, that offer credible degrees in human resources. Completing a degree, in any discipline really, but in human resources specifically, will take you a long way. Education is key in any field, but especially for a newcomer to the human resources profession. However, a degree is not the nucleus to a successful HR career. HR is an ever evolving profession and with every new governmental administration comes a host of employment law changes along with new rules and regulations affecting how businesses conduct business on a day-to-day basis. HR professionals have to become industry vigilantes. They must be able to immediately assess what has changed and how those changes can and will affect the business.
Step 3
Ask yourself in what area of HR you would like to specialize. If you want to be a Generalist, this is the jack of all trades in human resources, then you need to be learning and doing as much as you can in areas like benefits; employee relations; compensation; organizational management; career and workforce development, etc. To grow as a human resources professional you need to continually experience and hone HR responsibilities. The role that you play now in your professional/academic/personal life may already have you performing a lot of HR responsibilities. Take note of some of the projects and endeavors you are currently working on. Maybe you're the treasurer of a club, a manager at McDonalds, or in charge of your son or daughter's little league team; all the skills you use doing these types of activities transfer quite handsomely over to your career as a human resources professional. Don't limit yourself by basing your future on your current circumstances. Think outside of the proverbial box. Be creative.
Step 4
Lastly, NETWORK! NETWORK! NETWORK! start networking like your life depended on it, and it some way it really does. In the world of business and human resources especially, it is not about WHAT you know, but WHO you know and how well you can brand what you know. When people know that you specialize in something they tend to identify you with whatever you specialize in and when opportunities arise, you're the person they turn to; that's your Brand. Network with other professionals and ask them what they did and how they did it. Talk with them about their education and any other aspect of HR that interests you. Again, and this cannot be stressed enough, your career success in human resources, marketing, acting, singing, whatever you decide to do, starts with educating yourself by learning as much as you can, as often as you can, wherever and from whomever you can. Consume as much knowledge as you possibly can about whatever profession you choose to pursue. Treat this pursuit like an adventure and when you reach your goal - and you will - remember, it started with you.
Important TidBits:
- Join social networking sites, i.e. LinkedIn; Facebook; Urbanprofessionals.com;
- Join SHRM (The Society of Human Resource Management)
- If you can't get a job with HR responsibilities, volunteer your services to the community. This is a great way to gain exposure and it looks really good on your resume.
- If you know what industry you ultimately want to work in (publishing, manufacturing, etc.) begin educating yourself about that industry and how, you, as an HR professional can add value to the bottom line.
- If possible, take some leadership classes. Good HR professionals are not just effective in HR; they also understand the importance of good leadership.

If you saw my recipe for Layered Peach and Caramel Ginger Pie you will understand a little bit about how this recipe was born. But allow me to further explain. And I really recommend that you don't skip over this little story for it might teach you about the beauty of raw foods.
Finally, peach season had hit. I had been patiently waiting, toe taping ready, for our peaches to hit their peak ripeness so I could pick them. I would often go out to check on and sing to them. I will not apologize for being me. hehe
One of the first peach recipes that I created this season were the Layered Peach and Caramel Ginger Pies. They turned out absolutely scrumptious but had a short shelf life of about two days. After that, the fresh peaches started to release their juices and my little pies started to get mushy. They still tasted amazing, but they didn't stand up under the pressure of the peach flower on top.
We were running out of hours in the day, we just couldn't consume all of them before they were going to go bad. I need to stop "cooking" as though I was feeding an army. lol So, in the heat of the busy day, I tossed the peach pies, crust and all into the blender and blitzed them. I then added some coconut milk that was in the fridge, which needed to be used up too… So, I blended it all until it was nice and creamy. I took a taste test. *blink, blink* I took another taste test. Truth be told, I would have liked to have lifted that blender carafe right up to my lips and allow the luscious peach cream to slide right into my tummy. But I resisted… oh the willpower I possess. :)
My day got really busy all of a sudden so I placed the blender carafe in the fridge and figured that I would tend to it later. Later came the next day. It was nice and chilled and I decided that I should taste test it again, you know just in case it went bad *cough*. It had gotten better! Holy-mother-of-all-kitchen-appliances! The flavors melded together beautifully.
Then the light went off or is it on? Either way, I knew what I was going to do with it… ice cream! During the 25 minute process of listening to the hum of the ice cream machine, I started thinking of how I wanted to present it… and there you have it. That is how the Pecan Peach and Caramel Ginger Ice Cream Tart was created!
While the ice cream was in the freezer, firming up, I started brainstorming how I wanted to decorate my new creation. I had some raw white frosting in the fridge, all ready to go in a piping bag, so I decided to use that. As I stood at the island in the kitchen, I found myself staring down at some peach fruit leathers that I had just pulled out of the dehydrator. I wanted to put flowers on my ice cream but I have yet to teach myself how to make raw frosting flowers, like the fondant ones.
So, I started cutting circles and playing around with my fruit leather… soon I was forming flowers out of it. The perfect touch for my dessert! I will soon do a tutorial on how to make them but just by looking, you will most likely figure it out. :)
By sharing this story with you, I just wanted to show you that when dealing with raw food, we are given the ability to be so creative. How many times have you seen in the cooked world a pie literally transformed into a decadent dessert such as this? I hope this encourages you. The ingredients listed below are the same ingredients used in the Layered Peach and Caramel Ginger Pie recipe. I just broke it down here so you didn't have to bounce back and forth. Enjoy!
Ice cream:
Decorating (optional):
I always wanted to make Bob a peach tart… almost but not quite there. hehe
Wrap the base of the pan with wax or parchment paper.
Hand mix in the crushed pecans. Don't crush them too much. Leave texture.
Spread the ice cream in the pan, filling ever nook and cranny.
Level the top of the tart pan off with a spatula or straight edge of some sort.
Pipe a border edge with the white frosting.
I used the scallop edge as my guide to create the curves in my "rope boarder".
As you can see in the photo, my pan is frosting up as the warm room air interacts with
the frozen pan. I had someone ask if my pan was white, so I thought I would just mention it.
Dust with crushed pecans.
I decorated with fruit leather flowers and mint leaves.
It was very easy to remove from the pan.
I just loved seeing the texture of the pecans within the ice cream.
Bob LOVES this ice cream dessert. He has been having a slice every night and
continues to rave about it. That makes me a happy chef. :)
O M G ! this is beyond beyond gorgeous! Can't imagine eating this beauty! wow. Thank you for sharing with us.
wow !!! This one will go down in history!!! now you've really left your legacy, Amie sue!!
Hi sue, this is amazing…the pan I found it very attractive. Where can I find it?
Pardon me with your preview name…I m in love with your decoration. I m so impressed. Thank you for all of your time doing this
The pan where did you find?
Amie Sue,
My apologies, you have posted up where I can purchase the pan. You have overwhelmed me with all of your beautiful decoration and your cooking.
This recipe looks amazing. Please tell me: what is the difference between coconut milk and coconut cream? Can one be used in the place of the other? Thanks so much for your incredibly awesome recipes.

I am creating a website for my small business and would like to try to do it as simply and inexpensively as possible. I've heard about www.godaddy.com. Would love to hear if anybody has used it and what you're experience has been. Also, if you can recommend any other sites that have worked well, I'd love to hear that as well. Website Newbie
It took me about 2 days (that's 2 days of work, 16 hours) to create something i wanted to publish (that included some edit time). And the best part is: it's empowering, it feels great to have done it, and i can keep it simple or make it as complicated as i want.
The downside: the website tonight application is kind of slow at times and has crashed the browser on occasion. It's best to back up your text and images on your own computer (using offline back-up procedures)... As for intuitive? Well, it's ok, probably on a scale of 1 (hard) to 10 (easy) it's a 7... it does take some work to understand it.
I say go for it, start with simple, but start! It's inexpensive and it's yours. there are a few tricks to getting the godaddy logo off your site...
I recently built a website using Wordpress on an ISP called bluehost.com. I liked it because the price was very reasonable. I got unlimited disk space, bandwidth, lots of subdomains, a hundred Mysql databases, lots of email addresses, etc. I've heard good things about pair.com and laughing squid.
If any of this sounds greek to you, or no fun, you might not want to create your own website. Wordpress.com lets you create a blog for free, and then you can add on other features and get rid of the ads. Wordpress is very easy for newbies to use. You can make it look just like a regular website, not a blog. I haven't worked with them directly, though.
Any way you go, have fun! Wendy
Just because they are called a blog, doesn't mean you don't have static pages and hosting is included. The primary downsides to the free services is you don't own the domain name and they aren't as customizable.
One of the keys to having a website is making sure people can actually find you. You will want to spend a little time making sure your meta title and description are unique and use keywords people may use to search for your product. The text in the body as well should be very relevant.
For my own site, I use SF based Laughing Squid: www.laughingsquid.com which runs about $10/month + cost for the domain name.
There are a lot of additional considerations so feel free to reach out. Rick
I work for a small non-profit. We have to change/add things to our website monthly, and I think our current website person is charging a lot, mostly because he's slow. Usually, we need to add a few events to our listings. Occasionally, we need to change content. For a 3-month period of adding events (3 per month, already written out), we were charged over $700!! My husband also has a web person for his website, but she doesn't charge nearly that amount. Unfortunately, she's unavailable to us. Can anyone recommend a decently-priced person to help with our site?
I am updating my professional web site and I am looking for help with someone who is literate in html and css code. Has anyone used someone more recently to improve an already existing web site? I would love some contact information of web folks in the medium price range category. Leslie
I have a small business and was looking for someone to design a website for me. We have an existing one but it needs updating. Any recommendations? Thanks lh
Just an FYI, consider what kind of traffic, what you will offer such as just information & pics, product sales, referrals, mailing list, etc. on your website you are expecting on your site and that will give you an idea on how much of a site and support that you need. Here is their link: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/ Hope this helps! Maya J.

I am looking for someone to help me to design a website for a new feminist organization. I will supply all content and have some design and navigation specifications and hope to find someone to get the initial site up and running, and follow up consultations as the site grows.

Ideally this would be a person with some experience creating websites for themselves or an organization who is looking for a small project to do from home. I would be ready to begin in the next few weeks. Thanks!

Writer Debuts New Novel at BookExpo America (BEA)
Beating the Devious Ways of The Spouse Stealer
Saratoga Springs, NY – I Love New York (ILNY) Tourism Guru turned Bohemian author, Mark Francis Schwab, releases his latest literary prowess, The Spouse Stealer. In this book published by Xlibris Publishing and distributed through American Publishing & Distribution Company, he engages readers with a story wherein marriages are lost and saving one's family becomes an impossible task. His new book boldly gives readers a taste of the supposedly sacred promise of marriage. The book will debut at the BookExpo America (BEA) May, 2011. It is the leading event in North America publishing and has it returned to NYC for 2011.
Set during the height of Buffalo's Baby-Boomer's interaction with the last of its blue-blooded, gilded-class monies, The Spouse Stealer introduces Jonathon Spector, a man living comfortably on the fringes of wealth, among very wealthy friends. His "dating search" leads him through another gambit after his last divorce, and he engages in a series of steamy debauchery. In his attempt to achieve a religiously felt "true love" again, he tries to qualify women for their true meaning, beyond mutually engaged sexual pleasures. Just as he settles down once more, a serial spouse stealer— a filthy rich and intriguing woman—emerges. Jonathan's gatherings with friends become pointedly selective as the antagonist hosts everything at her Canadian beachfront estate. Her dominance and self-serving attitude becomes clear as her veracity unfolds. Money, power and deceit materialize into everyone's lives as a forced, yet visible presence no one wants to see has become reality.
Marching an assemblage of unforgettable characters playing erratic twists and turns, The Spouse Stealer provides a candid and honest look into the world of lies, lust, and temptations. It gives readers a taste of the supposedly sacred promise of marriage. For more information on the book and view the "video-trailer," interested parties should log on to www.TheSpouseStealer.com.

Every Day is Earth Day in Kentucky
Since its founding in 1975, The Nature Conservancy of Kentucky has worked to conserve and protect Kentucky's lands and waters. As Earth Day 2012 approaches, we thought it appropriate to look back on our successes over the years.
Many Milestones and Successes
Kentucky has had many milestones in the development of our work in Kentucky. The following list touches on some of the high points in our efforts to conserve the Commonwealth.
1966 - Murphy's Pond, the Conservancy's first conservation project, attracts national attention, leading the Conservancy to pursue the acquisition of 313 acres onsite. Learn more about Murphy's Pond
1967 - The Nature Conservancy enters into its first cooperative project with the Daniel Boone National Forest to acquire Thunderstruck Shoals. Since then, this partnership has resulted in the protection of thousands of acres, mostly in the Rockcastle River watershed.
1975 - The Nature Conservancy of Kentucky opens its doors. Founding officers - Dr. Bruce Poundstone (chairman), Dr. William Bryant (vice chair), Mrs. Richard Wilson (secretary) and Dr. Hunter Hancock (treasurer) presided over 20 trustees and a membership of less than 100.
1978 - The Conservancy receives its first donated property in Kentucky - the Kirwan property in Woodford County.
1988 - The Conservancy completes its first acquisition in Mantle Rock.
1993 - Engagement in a community-based landscape-scale project at Horse Lick Creek in the Rockcastle River watershed becomes the genesis for several subsequent landscape-scale, community based projects at places like the Green River, Buck Creek and the Kentucky River Palisades.
1994 - The General Assembly passes into law legislation to establish the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund.
1998 - The Conservancy hires a program director to focus on conservation efforts in the Green River, including a partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and land acquisitions like the Timberlake Tract.
2000 - A new Buck Creek Watershed Coordinator begins working with the local Conservation District – as well as with local groups, landowners, state agencies and federal agencies – to protect land, implement conservation strategies on the ground and raise environmental awareness.
2008 - The Conservancy launches a Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program, which restored nearly 3 miles of streams flowing into Buck Creek during the program's first four years.
2009 - The Conservancy works with partners to launch Kentucky's Prescribed Fire Council and a new Instream Flow Network to better address ecological processes affecting multiple conservation areas.
2009 - A new team comprised of staff located in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee convene to identify a network of places within the Central Appalachian Landscape that represent the region's biological diversity still functioning in the face of intense energy development pressures.
2009 - A new, multi-year partnership with Ingram Barge Company, the nation's leading inland waterway transportation company, makes it possible to advance work with partner organizations and local landowners in the Obion Creek and Bayou du Chien watersheds to protect, restore and reconnect more than 5,000 acres of bottomland hardwood forests and wetlands to the Mississippi River.
2010 - The Conservancy establishes a new, five-year strategic plan for its work in Kentucky.
2011 - The Conservancy works with local, state, and federal partners to help acquire Phase I of the Big Rivers Corridor Project.
What's Ahead
Kentucky continues to celebrate many successes in conservation as we go along. Our continued focus on the objectives of our five-year strategic plan guide our on-the-ground conservation initiatives throughout the state.

Oprah Winfrey became famous for her multi-media publicity platform, from a TV show to a magazine, and Dr. Mehmet Oz is following his mentor's lead by publicizing his own new magazine. In addition, he dished up suggestions for low carb diet and weight loss restaurant swaps on his August 1 talk show. Compare those choices to the caloric "winners" at the Xtreme Eating Awards competition.
When you eat at a cafe, Dr. Oz suggests opting for a sandwich that uses lettuce rather than bread. For example, you could have a turkey "sandwich" but ask for lettuce to replace the bread to boost your weight loss. It's an option useful for those on Paleo and low carb diets as well as gluten-free plans.
Some restaurants offer take-out containers and long buffets of food. Dr. Oz recommends using caution. A good selection would include grilled chicken, peppers, onions and spinach.
Love pizza? Choose the thinnest crust possible and pile on the vegetables. Dr. Oz suggests minimizing the amount of cheese put on the pizza.
And when it comes to pizza, the Xtreme Eating Awards 2014 included a pizza entree that has more calories than most of us require in a single day. The dubious honors are given at a competition hosted by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, reported SF Gate on August 1.
The weighty winners included the Cheesecake Factory's Bruleed French Toast. Order it if you like the idea of 2,780 calories that includes 93 grams of saturated fat and 24 teaspoons of added sugar. You would need to swim for seven hours to burn off the excess.
Then there's BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse's Signature Deep Dish Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. It contains 2,160 and 30 grams of fat. By comparison, Dr. Oz estimated that one slice of a thin crust veggie pizza has 147 calories and six grams of fat.
Does a sandwich sound good? The A. 1. Peppercorn burger at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers provides you with 3,540 calories and 69 grams of saturated fat. Compare that to Dr. Oz's lettuce-wrapped sandwich with about 400 calories and five grams of fat.
And although Dr. Oz frequently advises viewers to eat fish, one of the Xtreme Eating Awards went to a very unhealthy fish dish. The Big "Hook" Up platter at Joe's Crab Shack contains 3,280 calories, 50 grams of saturated fat, and 7,610 mg of sodium.
To put those calorie totals in perspective, the USDA estimates that a moderately active woman needs 2,000 calories daily. A man should aim for about 2,600 calories.
Dr. Oz hopes that his new magazine will help consumers to be more aware of their food choices. Each issue features a diet article, healthy lifestyle tips and recipes. Called "Dr. Oz: The Good Life," the magazine clearly models itself after Oprah's successful publication by putting the physician on every cover and sprinkling his wisdom throughout every issue.

Entries in Perspective (18)
Expression (the Importance of)
It is so important to get expressions like this one during a wedding ceremony. My favorite lens for a ceremony is my Canon 28-300 L lens. You can move so fast from situation to situation and get close like in this image without disturbing the moment. Light, technique,and style is all important, but a great EXPRESSION is the difference maker, a must in a truly great portrait whatever mood it is.
Flower Girl–Natural Light
I was in a wonderful home on the river in Idaho photographing the wedding cake, when this beautiful flower girl came into the room. I was at that moment using a tripod, long exposure and natural light. Wanting to get a great picture of the girl and use the room as a background I decided to have her lean on a wall by the entry way to create some distance so I could blur out my background a bit. All I was missing there was really good light! It was solved in a snap by opening the entry door and there it all came together. I love warm tones in people photography and so do most clients.
A little can change things ALOT!
When I first have a set up working I like to try to create many compositions and styles, if possible, with smal changes. See how just a little tilt on the camera and conversion to B/W make this a whole different image. I don't say better or worse, but 2 different styles in seconds, both working well. Trinidad was a blast, Kenneth
Perspective–Maui 2007
This is the front and back page of a swimsuit catalog I photographed in Maui last January. I just looked at the file and thought wooow what different perspectives different lenses give you! The one to the left is shot on a Canon 5D (full frame) with a 17-45mm at 17mm, the one to the right on a Canon 1d Mark II (1.3 conversion) with a 50mm 1.4. This is a great lens to get a telephoto feeling with when it's dark if it is used right. Lighting on the right image: one tungsten spotlight.
Another "Oldie" but something to learn about lens choice!
While in a "desert" in northern Denmark years ago I was just ready to photograph this Norwegian bass player on my 50mm when some people walked into my shot way in the back. I was shooting Polapan B/W slide film so I wasn't thinking Photoshop. My solution was to change to 20mm and move in close to hide the people in the back. I really like the perspective it gave the shot and it also brought in more of the great "desert". This is a technique I still use in stressed situations today. My philosophy is to try to fix it all in camera and not think SO MUCH what can be done afterwards!

Paige La Bare is a girl of many talents. She can out-skate you, and of course, out-cheer you.
"I don't see why I can't be both," La Bare said with a braces-clad smile. "When I'm here and I say I'm a cheerleader, people are shocked. The guys say, 'That's weird.' But when I'm at cheer and I say I'm going to go skate, people say, 'What?' "
In addition to being a cheerleader and soccer player, La Bare, a freshman at Costa Mesa High, is one of nine girls who will participate in the upcoming OCSL season. That's the highest total the league has seen in its short history.
Not only are girls joining the league, they're helping to expand it. Kaiya Bertrand, a seventh-grader at Corona del Mar Middle School, started the skate club there. "I think girls should be equal to guys, and it's better if girls do guy things, too," she said.
Bertrand's partner in crime, Alexia Gonzalez, also in the seventh grade at the school, takes a less subtle approach to the idea that skating is for boys. "Girls can do anything that guys can,"she said. "More girls should just try it."
Unlike many sports, girls and boys are not divided into separate divisions as all competitions are simply organized by age.
Elle Quinn, a sophomore at Corona del Mar High, said that although the sport often carries a male undertone, she's always been one to break the mold. "I've always liked to pursue my own thing," Quinn said.

Greetings again my friends from my, I can believe school has started again who stole summer, corner of the world. I know I have brought this up before but it really became a reality when I saw the kids in uniforms making that, "SCHOOL SUCKS" walk to their designated learning facility. I guess the 45 degree temps at night is also a dead giveaway that fall is merely a block away. No matter, we shall continue on. Venturing out to be entertained! Who's with me????
Well I guess one of the positives of the upcoming fall season, besides the obvious, you know football, hot cider, football, chili season and fantasy football, is the start of the Greater Allen County Blues Society music jams at the K of C on Cable Road right behind Happy Dayz. This past Sunday was the annual picnic/election of officers/ kick off the season jam and it was awesome. If you have never been to one of the monthly music jams, you are missing some choice music. Its every month, on a Sunday, with an early start time (5 pm) and its a blast. Every month is a different host band and yes its an open jam. That means if you wanna play or sing just show up. Please check out their Facebook page for all the dates, host bands, etc..See you there..Don't worry I'll remind you..
If you are like me and its mid week and its like , "I'm bored and there is nothing to do".... wrongo Tonto... there is. Actually every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday its karaoke night at everyone's favorite excuse, Kurt & Sherry's Alibi Lounge 126 E North Street in downtown Lima. If you've always thought "Hey I can sing that" when you hear a song on the radio, here is your chance. If you'd rather just watch (hmmmm) its also Wobble Wing Wednesday. Wobble shooters only $1 and hot wings only. .. ONLY .25!!! So NOW you have something to do on Wednesdays.
What started out as a cool idea and something different to do on a weekday and literally turned into a musical phenomenon. I'm talking about the open mic night at Mulligans on High in downtown Lima that happens every Thursday night. Hosted by Kat & Geoff, its a great way to see folks you normally wouldn't hear them in an environment you normally wouldn't see them in. It could be someone who is brand new that has never played live or a local music veteran who just wants to try something different. This past week, Brian The drummer from Captain YumYum and The Destroyers( you may also know him from his "other" band Brother Believe Me)shared his talent & covered the skins for several of the players. Every week there is somebody different just "shows up". And lots of new faces in the crowd. This week should be no different. Why not join the party. No cover! !!
Don't forget The Rally In The Square is still running so stop on up this Friday and find out where the cool people go when the work week is over.
That's it for now. Don't forget we can all support the local music community, just go to something somewhere. At least that's what I think.
As always
If ya dig it do it
If ya really dig it
Do it twice

Two sisters of Mary Wolfe, a Democratic state representative in Iowa, were found dead in the basement of their Pittsburgh home. NY Daily News reports Feb. 10 that the bodies of Susan Wolfe, 44, and Sarah Wolfe, 38 were discovered last Friday afternoon.
When the women did not show up for work, authorities were called and made a wellness check. They are treating the deaths as a double-homicide. No evidence of forced entry was detected at the home. Lt. Daniel Herrmann said there is no clear motive for the killings. The sisters of Mary Wolfe were going about life as usual on Thursday, according to the report. Susan showed up to work as normal at Hillel Academy. The academy's director, Dori Oshlag, called police when she did not arrive on Friday. Her body was discovered 1 p.m. that day.
Sarah's body was found next to her. She worked at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. The women were pronounced dead at 1:48 p.m.
There was no mention as to whether or not the women being sisters to Mary Wolfe played a distinct role in this suspected double-homicide. As the investigation continues, authorities will certainly keep that possibility in mind.

Contraband Movie Reviews
Release Date: Jan 13, 2012
Genre: Action/AdventureSuspense/Thriller
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Contraband
I did not like this film and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters because it is silly and way to violent. I do not like films like this one so I guess i am bit biased about it but I think even the fans of action films will find this film to be less than mediocre. The film was very on the surface and I did not feel that there was a real commitment to the material from the director or the lead actor Mark Wahlberg. I feel that Wahlberg has outgrown films like this one and he did not really try very hard in this film and it is very evident. The film was extremely predictable and I did not think it was suspenseful. Overall, I do not think this film is worth the price of the movie ticket.
I thought that the film was alright but I do not think it is worth seeing in the theaters. The film felt way too familiar and predictable. I feel like Mark Wahlberg did not put much effort into his character because it was not challenging enough for him and I think he has outgrown films like this one. I think that the film had way too much violence and the story was kind of unoriginal. My friend really liked this film so I guess it depends on your taste and this film was just not my cup of tea. Overall, if you are looking for a lot of action, shooting, violence and tough guys this is a film for you.
Contraband is one of those genre films that could have been really stupid, but somehow, it turns out to be a pretty exciting action film. That doesn't mean it breaks any new ground or that the plot isn't standard issue. But the high level of filmmaking and the actors' committment to the movie take it a step above your standard action film.
Mark Wahlberg plays Chris, a smuggler gone straight until his brother in law runs into trouble with a psycho, played by a very creepy Giovanni Ribisi. Chris is forced back into the game to get his bro out of trouble, and gets together a group of guys, including his former partner, to smuggle $15 million counterfeit out of Panama. This give director Baltasar Kormákur, who actually starred in the original Icelandic film, opportunity to stage some exciting action set pieces.
The acting is solid. Wahlberg doesn't do anything other than be himself, but he's always solid. Ribisi is crazy, and a lot of fun to watch. The rest of the cast conducts themselves admirably. It's a much more exciting film than it should have been, but sometimes, that's all you need.
This is a film a bout a former smuggler who heads to Panama to do some shady business in order to protect his brother-in-law from a drug lord, the film is directed by Baltasar Kormákur and stars Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi and Kate Beckinsale. I did not really like this film and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. This was just not my kind of movie because it was way too macho and way too violent. I was especially shocked when a very graphic scene involving violence against women and children was playing, it was a bit too much for my taste and I wish I did not have to see it. I bet guys will enjoy watching this film but I did not ave a good time and I think that most women and girls will not like it.
I thought this film was awesome and i recommend seeing it in the theaters. i do have to warn you not to take your girlfriend to see it with you because she will most likely not like it and hate you for making her watch it. The film is very well made and I really liked the story and the main character that is played very well by Mark Wahlberg. It is a great action film that has a really good script and an amazing cast that makes everything even better. The film was a bit predictable in some scenes but that i a minor thing in an overall good experience. I thought that the atmosphere in the film was created masterfully and overall the film left me satisfied and entertained.

James Manley's Web Page
|Towson University
James Manley, Assistant Professor of Economics
My research interests include economic development, public health, and the environment, and I have publications in journals ranging from Climatic Change to Pediatrics to World Development. I have been PI or co-PI on grants totalling about $80,000 from the Inter-American Development Bank, the UK's Department for International Development, and Towson University.
I teach Statistics for Business and Economics I, Natural Resource Economics, and Microeconomic Principles.
Why study economics?
1) Graduates in Economics have the highest mid-career salaries outside of engineering and applied math.
2) We teach a way of thinking that all educated people tend toward. Why mess around with something else when you'll just end up back here?
3) Within economics, you can study about anything. In addition to the obvious things like money & banking and macroeconomics, economists just here at Towson study sports, sex & marriage, health care, housing, poverty in the US and internationally, and environmental & resource issues.
4) Along the same lines, you can do a lot career-wise. Economists work all over the place: there are jobs in all parts of government and in the private sector at places from Google and Yahoo to Bank of America.
5) The major allows you to be extremely flexible: for the 2012-2013 catalog year, you need just 36 credits to meet the degree requirements.

Eric Garris, founder and director of Antiwar.com, discusses the convoluted House votes on multiple Afghan War bills and amendments, Obama's broken pledge to stop using emergency supplemental bills for war funding, how House Reps can now somewhat credibly claim either support or opposition to the war and why China seems to have won the Iraq war.
MP3 here. (12:55) Transcript below.
Eric Garris is the founder, managing editor, director and webmaster of Antiwar.com.
Scott Horton interviews Eric Garris July 2, 2010
Scott Horton: Okay, everybody, welcome back to the show, wrapping up the week here, Antiwar Radio on LRN, the Liberty Radio Network, LRN.fm, and simulcasting the first two hours of the show every Tuesday through Friday from 9 to 11, well, West Coast time where I am, 11 to 1 Texas time, at KAOSRadioAustin.org. And our first guest on the show today is Antiwar.com's founder and managing director, Eric Garris. He's also the webmaster for LewRockwell.com. Welcome to the show, Eric.
Eric Garris: Thanks for having me, Scott.
Horton: Let's talk about this vote. This is the strangest thing in the world. I wanted you on the show to see if you could explain this to me a little bit because you're such a master at the electoral politics game here, and we got three of the four top stories on Antiwar.com right now are the roll call votes on: 1) the war funding bill, 2) withdrawal from Afghanistan, and 3) cut all war funding. And I've never seen so many Republicans vote against either of these kind of antiwar bills, anything like this before. I'm not sure what's going on. I was wondering if you could help provide some clarity.
Garris: Well, I talked this morning with a congressional staffer who said that this was the most convoluted set of votes that he's ever seen, which is saying quite a bit, considering we're talking about Congress. As convoluted as the Afghan war and its goals have become, the votes last night really reflected the confusion and just how complex the war funding has become. There were actually six votes last night, and interestingly enough, that Ron Paul speech that you just aired came after the last vote.
Horton: Hmm.
Garris: They did not want to give him his full five minutes during any of the other votes.
Horton: I can't figure out why…
Garris: The final vote was the vote to approve the war funding bill. It was presented as a procedural bill, or a procedural amendment, on a bill that was described as such: "Making emergency supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and summer jobs for fiscal year ending September 30, 2010."
Horton: Summer jobs, is that what they're calling it now?
Garris: That's what they called it, summer jobs. Summer jobs in Afghanistan.
Horton: Yes. That's hilarious. So –
Garris: So the vote that eventually was the approval vote passed 215-210 with every Republican voting against it.
Horton: Now how is that? Because it said summer jobs?
Garris: Because it added all this domestic pork into the legislation. So what's going to happen now is that it goes back to the Senate. If the Senate concurs on everything the House did, it goes to the president for his signature. Otherwise it will come back to the House for reconciliation and may result in another vote in the House at some point in the near future, but that is not clear. The other votes are very interesting. It basically was set up to allow members of Congress to go back to their districts and say, "I voted for the war," or "I voted against the war."
Horton: Ahhh.
Garris: Because given the different sets of votes, they could claim either one.
Horton: Aha! Which is why such disparity between the cut-all-funding bill and the withdrawal-from-Afghanistan bill there.
Garris: That's right. Now, there were two –
Horton: Well, now hold it right there, man, we got the bumper music playing here, we have to go out to the break. But I'd like to note here, Eric, before we go out to the break, real quick, that this is all about emergency supplementals that Obama promised he would never fund the war by emergency supplementals. Just that one more at the beginning of last year.
Garris: Yes.
Horton: And now here we are. All right, we'll be back.
Horton: All right, y'all, welcome back to the show. It's Antiwar Radio. I'm your host, Scott Horton, and I know you read Raimondo three times a week, but this is the guy that really makes it happen, Eric Garris, the founder and the director of Antiwar.com. Now, Eric, we're talking about the six different votes in the House of Representatives on war funding yesterday. Help me make sense out of this.
Garris: I'll try. The original bill that was passed by the Senate includes 37 billion for Afghanistan and Iraq but also includes money for FEMA, Haiti, veterans, the Gulf oil spill, farm loans, mine safety, Guam, highway safety, Capitol police, and a few other things.
Horton: And this is the Senate bill?
Garris: That is correct.
Horton: Okay.
Garris: So the first amendment was an amendment to add more domestic pork like summer jobs and such. And that passed. The second amendment was additional domestic issues, money for teachers, Pell grants, energy loans, schools on military installations, but interestingly also includes tightening up of Iran sanctions and tightening up of the No Fly List, those were just thrown in there, as well as requirements to shore up the policing of detainees. So that also passed. Those are the two reasons that the Republicans voted against the final bill, 215-210. Now the three interesting amendments that came up were all defeated. One would have required a new National Intelligence Estimate on Afghanistan by January 31 of next year, requiring a plan by April 4 of next year on the safe, orderly and expeditious redeployment of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. That got 160 yes votes. That's as close as we came to any sort of antiwar vote. The Barbara Lee amendment, which would require war funds to be tied to withdrawal of Afghanistan, got 100 votes. The best amendment was an amendment to cut off all war funds from Afghanistan immediately. That amendment got only 25 yes votes. There were three Republicans and 22 Democrats. The three Republicans were Ron Paul, Duncan from Tennessee, and, uh…
Horton: Walter Jones, right?
Garris: No, not Walter Jones, interestingly enough.
Horton: Oh!
Garris: It was from Tim Johnson off Illinois.
Horton: Oh, so Jones was out that day or something. He voted yes?
Garris: Yes. Again, this was one of those things where people – see Jones was the cosponsor of one of the weaker amendments, so I think he felt obligated to vote against this one. As did Barbara Lee. Barbara Lee voted against the immediate cutoff of war funding.
Horton: Yeah. Well, I know that Walter Jones is sincere in his opposition to the war, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on there.
Garris: Well, as I said, he was the cosponsor of the McGovern-Obey amendment, which was the one to require the National Intelligence Estimate. So I think that he probably made a deal to not support the more radical ones in order to push this one.
Horton: Okay, fair enough, go ahead.
Garris: But, you know, this is just – these last three amendments, none of them were expected to pass. They were allowed up in order, as I said, to give congressmembers the argument that they voted either for the war or against the war when they go back out to their constituents and when they're running for reelection. There were very few that voted consistently across the board. One of them, interestingly enough, was Alan Grayson. He voted against the final funding, voting with the Republicans, and he voted for the immediate cutoff – he voted for all the antiwar bills. He and Ron Paul were among two of the only people that voted that way.
Horton: How'd Dennis Kucinich do in there?
Garris: Oh, I'm sorry. Kucinich also voted correctly on all of those.
Horton: Yeah, I would assume so. He's voted against war funding all along, just like Ron Paul.
Garris: That's right. Kucinich has got one of the best voting records in Congress, as far as war bills go.
Horton: All right. Well, so, the lesson here basically is that we have our very small group of congressmen who we know mean it and the rest of them are just posturing, and they get to vote yes, no, and sideways on six different bills so that when they go home and run for reelection they can put their finger in the wind, figure out what it is that people want, and then they can claim that that's how they've been voting.
Garris: Right. And it's really a reflection of the whole "strategy" of our mission in Afghanistan. You know, as Ron Paul said in his speech that you opened up with, what is the reason that we're there? It keeps changing all the time. And, so you have mission creep being reflected in the votes in the House.
Horton: Yeah. Well, and of course, it's, I don't know, I guess I subscribe to the Gareth Porter theory, that basically the generals are just chasing the bullets they've just shot, and whichever direction they're shooting, just keep going that way, and just keep it going on forever, you know. Of course the highest levels of the Pentagon are intimately tied together with the military industrial complex firms and so forth with the iron triangle-revolving-door thing, and I don't know, let me ask you. Do you think that anybody still imagines that they're going to have some kind of safe, secure pipeline from Tajikistan down to the port of Karachi there? It seems like that pipe dream's long gone, right? Pipeline dream?
Garris: You know, I think that those kinds of things, you know, the mineral wealth in Afghanistan, those are just PR. They're just trying to sell the American people on the fact that they might at some point recoup some of the losses of the money.
Horton: They wanted an oil pipeline through there before the war.
Garris: Well, yes, they may have wanted it, but in terms of holding it out as something that we think we're going to get anything from, as long as we're there militarily, those kinds of things are not going to happen. You know, you look at what happened in Iraq. I mean, look at all the oil money that we made back from the money we spent on the war, that Wolfowitz predicted. It didn't materialize.
Horton: Well, and I think it's in The Times today that it's the Chinese who are going in there with briefcases.
Garris: Exactly. Just going to say that.
Horton: Yeah, they're over there making deals for that Iraqi oil. And people want to say Petraeus won that war? It sure don't look like it to me.
Garris: Well, in a number of ways, we're fighting the wars for the Chinese. I mean, they're the ones that are profiting from our actions around the world.
Horton: Well, and fair enough. They're the ones paying for it all.
Garris: Well that's right. So it's a good deal.
Horton: The American empire, it's a wondrous thing! All right, well, thanks very much Eric. I've learned again how cynical the leaders of Congress are. Appreciate it.
Garris: Okay.
Horton: All right, everybody, that's Eric Garris. He's the founder and managing director of Antiwar.com. He's also the webmaster for LewRockwell.com. Give him credit. Hang tight, we'll be back.

Personal Camp Kit List
What a Scout needs for a weekend camp
Important note on packing
Scouts are big people. Parents must not pack their gear for them. Doing so will lead to:
"Sarah, it's raining! Where's your rain coat?"
"I can't find where my Daddy put it!"
At most, parents can help their Scouts lay out their gear and ensure that everything is there. They should never actually put the gear into the pack. This is for two reasons. Scouts need to know where something is packed so that they can find it, and Scouts may not be able to pack their gear as tightly as their parents can, leading to problems when it comes time to repack at the end of camp.
Camp Gear
- Backpack/hockey bag.
- Day pack: School packs are good.
- Sleeping Bag: Warm as the weather may drop below freezing. Two summer sleeping bags, one inside the other, work well in cold conditions. An extra blanket can be useful as well.
- Insulated Sleeping Pad: Blue foamy, Therm-a-Rest, etc.
- Small Furry Friends are always welcome.
Eating Gear
- Unbreakable plate, bowl, & mug.
- Knife, fork, & spoon.
- Ditty bag: for hanging dishes to dry.
- Warm jacket.
- Snow pants.
- Rain gear: There is always a risk of rain.
- Running shoes.
- Hiking boots/waterproof boots.
- Winter boots.
- Scout uniform: shirt, necker, & woggle. Sash should be brought but kept carefully folded in the backpack. It is only worn for ceremonies
- Blue pants & shorts.
- Tee shirts.
- Long underwear.
- Jogging pants.
- Sweater/fleece.
- Dry socks.
- Dry socks.
- Dry socks.
- Underwear.
- Swimsuit & towel.
- Mittens & gloves: always bring gloves, even in the spring.
- Toque: keeps feet warm on cold nights.
- Sun hat: light coloured Tilley-style is the best.
Scout Gear
- BP Kit.
- Flashlight.
- Water bottle.
- Campfire blanket.
- Toothbrush & toothpaste.
- Medication: must be noted on the medical form.
- Sun screen.
- Bug repellent.
- Watch.
- Smile.
Please do not bring
- Food besides the food on the menu.
- Electronic games, Walkmans, or similar.
- Non-folding knives.
- Incendiary devices.
- Family heirlooms.
- Anything that might lead one to disregard the Scout Law.
Dressing for Winter
Keeping warm in winter requires attention to a few important details. To start with, one must be dry. This means not overdressing which leads to sweating, and changing before bed. You must change all your clothes before bed. You must have extra clothes to change into.
The other trick comes in layering. A warm coat on its own is not enough. Insulation must be spread over the entire body. Your layers should be something like this:
- Long sleeved tee-shirt, long underwear, thin socks.
- Sweaters, jogging pants, heavy socks.
- Winter jacket, snow-pants, winter boots.
- Hat and neck-warmer. Gloves and mittens.
There are certainly many excellent outdoor clothing products on the market these days. Treated polyester long underwear, special socks, and just about any piece of clothing made of fleece. This high-tech clothing is excellent, expensive, and unnecessary for introductory winter camping. Waffle knit cotton long underwear, jogging pants, and wool sweaters and socks will be fine for a weekend camp. If one is further interested in winter camping, then it is reasonable to look at special equipment. The main difference is the performance of the clothing when it is wet or damp. Cotton must be kept dry and replaced when it gets wet. No other piece of advice is as important.

Meet Mark Udall,
he's running for reelection to his seat in the U.S. Senate. He has the same problem that every member of his party has. He did something really really stupid. He ran as a centrist, a conservative Democrat. He lied to his constituents in multiple ways. First, there is no such thing as a conservative Democrat. Secondly, he promised not to be a rubber stamp for the Marxist agenda so stealthily promised by Barack Obama. Once elected, he voted for every Marxist measure that came up for a vote. One of those affirmative votes was in favor of the Marxist Holy Grail, which we'll call Obamacare. Like all Marxist wet dreams of Utopia, the program has been an abject failure, and the collapse has even managed to surpass the most pessimistic predictions of such, both in terms of magnitude and rapidity.
This combination has placed Senator Udall in danger of losing his job as a member of America's elite ruling political class. Feeling threatened,Udall returned immediately to those invaluable lessons taught in Democrat Politics 101 and 201. Democrat Politics 101 teaches the all important lesson of blatant lying to achieve political ends. Democrat Politics 201 teaches the effective use of anecdotal story telling to achieve political success.
CompleteColorado.com reports that emails show U.S. Senator Mark Udall's (D-CO) office pressured the Colorado Division of Insurance to downplay the number of insurance cancellations caused by the rollout of ObamaCare. A full 249,199 Colorado citizens were victimized by ObamaCare's cancellations. According to the emails, Udall's office hoped to change the definition of a "cancellation" as a way to lower the number. All of this occurred late last year as the storm around cancellations was engulfing Democrats and the president.
From an email inside the Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI), Director of External Affairs Jo Donlin bluntly stated to her colleagues:
Sen. Udall says our numbers were wrong. They are not wrong. Cancellation notices affected 249,199 people. They want to trash our numbers. I'm holding strong while we get more details. Many have already done early renewals. Regardless, they received cancellation notices.
Donlin's email was sent November 14.
Good luck with that tactic Mark. Your problem of course is this. Even if you are successful in coercing the State Superintendent of Insurance to tell lies on your behalf, there is no way that I can think of, in which you'll be successful in placing yourself or an agent acting on your behalf, between a person's eyes and the news contained in one of those cancellation notices. Those 250,000 people know that their policy has been canceled, and what's more, they know that they were promised that they would be able to keep both those policies, and the doctors that they have not been able to keep. What's even worse than that for you, is that this is only a small taste of things to come. In October of this year, the already once postponed employer mandate kicks in, and that event will make the current rate of cancellations pale in comparison. (Not that you folks in Colorado don't deserve this. After all, you twice voted for Barack Obama, and sent Mark Udall to the Senate in the first place.)
This should surprise no one. Moments after this sink hole of a law passed, Dianne Feinstein threatened Insurance Industry executives with subpoenas should they list Obamacare as a reason for the spate of premium increases that occurred immediately after the, "Affordable Care Act's" assention from bad idea to bill to law. For months now, our President's teleprompter has been touring the fruited plains and delivering speeches in which it has said, (fair warning, if you have liquid in your mouth you do not wish to see sprayed through your nose, empty it now before reading the President's quote,)
"we've already started to see the costs associated with health insurance coming down."
Blatant lying to achieve political victory is nothing new for this crowd. What is new is the air of desperation. Mark Udall, under ordinary circumstances, would never swing at this pitch, when the election is still 11 months out. He knows that Americans are mad, and they are mad almost exclusively at the Democrats. They own this monstrosity, and no matter how they try to blame its colossal failure on anybody else, it belongs exclusively to them. They know it, all of America knows it, and hell, even Nancy Pelosi, that great moron of Western Civilization who labeled the law as being bipartisan, (really, she did,) even though not one single Republican voted in favor of it, knows this.
I'm not going to call the Colorado race this far out, but clearly, Mark Udall can see that he is facing a constituency that is not amused with the fact that he lied to them and inflicted them with the Holy Grail of Marxist destructive legislation. There is a target issue here that has the potential to determine the winners and losers for at least the next two cycles. People in general do not like having their financial security and their over all health placed in flux by grinding the ideological ax. When America voted for Barack Obama twice, they did so not because they agreed with Marxism, but because they believed, albeit mistakenly, that their lot in life would be improved.
So far as I can tell, doubling of insurance premiums, outright cancellations, and deductibles so stratospheric that they'll never be met is not something that can be sugarcoated sufficiently to convince someone facing it that this has somehow improved their lot in life. Barack Obama won two popularity contests, admittedly important ones, but that does not change the fact that he has grotesquely misinterpreted his mandate. The price to be paid for this folly will be exacted most heavily on those fools who went along with it, the Mark Udalls of the world.
Now for Democrat Politics 201, the anecdotal story, not to be confused with the more advanced course, Democrat Politics 402, Deflection. In the class known as Anecdotal Evidence for Political Persuasion, our students are taught the finer points of trying to fake a trend in American life by telling a story from the perspective of a single individual. The story need not be true, only believed. That last point is key.
My favorite example of this of course remains to this day, Al Gore's 2000 debate performance. He pointed to a heavy set woman in the audience, one whom attended at his invitation, and declared that she spent her life with the ominous choice between buying basic groceries or purchasing her life saving medications that kept death at bay. For good measure he added, "and she drove here cross country in her Winnebago so that she could be here with us this evening." collectively, half the nation offered this suggestion for her to themselves, "maybe she should sell her quarter million dollar vehicle and use that money to purchase either her medications or groceries."
This one is a more advanced technique, but I notice it almost everywhere. The number of my liberal debate partners who have suffered cancer or some other debilitating disease which previously made the purchase of health insurance impossible defies all known laws of statistics. I also notice that almost everyone left of center has a family member who lives in either Canada or France and absolutely loves their access to health care, which of course is in direct contradiction of all independent polls conducted amongst the citizenry of those nations.
Fortunately, Mark Levin has provided us with a method to combat the technique taught in the 201 class. Click the link below, and give it some consideration.

AVON LAKE — A member of Avon Lake Council wants to explore whether residents should be permitted to scare deer away from smaller lots by allowing them to fire at the animals with paintball guns.
Council member Dave Kos, 4th Ward and chairman of the Safety Committee, thinks owners of smaller lots need an alternative since archery equipment — permitted under a new ordinance passed by the Council — would never be approved for use.
The city is well on the way to issuing municipal deer control permits to eligible residents. Under the new ordinance, which took effect last week, landowners who can show deer damage to property may be eligible for a deer damage control permit issued through the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
If issued, landowners then must apply for a municipal deer control permit through the Police Department, which will determine whether deer can be shot safely on those properties.
Kos said residents ineligible for municipal control permits for any number of reasons could use paintball guns to shoot at the hooves of deer as a scare tactic. The topic initially was discussed during an Environmental Committee meeting with the Ohio Division of Natural Resources earlier in the year, Kos said.
"It's been discussed with ODNR that shooting a deer near the hoof with a paintball gun will get them to scatter," Kos said during a phone interview.
Kos said multiple residents have said deer will stick around in yards even when people stand in their backyards and yell or bang on pots and pans.
"How do you get them out without putting yourself into direct conflict with them?" Kos asked. "This was one of the alternatives offered, to allow residents to shoot at a deer's feet to get them off the property."
The city's weapons and explosives chapter of the codified ordinances includes a section that prohibits anyone from using slingshots, bows and arrows and air rifles to "purposely or recklessly" shoot projectiles.
Paintball guns are not mentioned, Kos said, and he would like to see the ordinance, enacted in 1958, modernized to have paintball guns coincide with the new deer legislation. The law should be written, he said, so that paintball guns would be allowed only in tandem with the deer legislation.
Geoff Westerfield, Ohio Division of Wildlife assistant wildlife management supervisor, said shooting deer with paintballs is a gray area under the law that is allowable as long as shooters aren't hurting them.
Nonetheless, he said it's something he wouldn't condone.
"I really don't want to deal with phone calls of a polka-dot deer running around town because it's gotten hit with 17 different colors of paint balls," he said.
Westerfield said paintballs would be largely ineffective in scaring away deer, who are accustomed to running through forests and getting whacked with tree branches.
"In the end it's not a very effective harassment tool," he said. "There's a lot of other things out there that can address a problem rather than using a paintball."
According to a Division of Wildlife Deer Damage Control brochure, methods to remove deer from property include light and sound devices designed to scare deer away, physical barriers to prevent entry and chemical repellants. The Ohio Division of Wildlife also offers a list of plants most damaged by deer, and plants rarely or never damaged, to help homeowners determine suitable landscaping.
Kos said Safety Committee members didn't feel it was the right time to bring the paintball issue before City Council, but he hopes to bring the subject up again in the fall.
