By Margaret A. Lisi, Farm Bureau News Staff Writer
NEW ORLEANS — Breaking tradition with the farm stereotype of "strong and silent" is critical to the succession of the family farm.
That premise formed the foundation to Dr. Ron Hanson's estate planning presentation today at the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation's annual meeting. Hanson spoke to about 75 beef cattle and dairymen as part of an extended cattlemen's commodity meeting.
"It's hard to speak about these things, for many reasons," Hanson said. "Admitting you'll die, admitting you have favorites among your children, ceding control to the younger generation—these are all difficult subjects and many folks feel it's easier just not to talk about it."
Hanson said issues around in-laws, divorce and remarriage add even more points to the prickly subject. However, he said making concrete plans ahead of time is the producer's "duty," ensuring a fair, if not equal, distribution of the family farm.
"I don't have a multi-million dollar operation, but still, this showed me I need to plan," said Walter Smith, 71, a beef cattle producer from Washington Parish. "I don't want to control my operation from the grave."
Smith was representative of the audience, made up almost entirely of producers 60 years old and older. He has gifted some land to his 37-year-old son for his cattle operation, but has other children who work off-farm. Hanson's presentation strongly addressed equitable distribution among on- and off-farm children. It pushed Smith and his friend Russell Creel, a Washington Parish dairyman, to decide they must address succession with their wives and children sooner rather than later.
Hanson said anyone planning their farm's succession will need a team of advisors to ensure the complicated transaction is smoothly and correctly handled.
"It's costly, but it's money well spent," Hanson said. "You'll need an accountant or CPA to handle questions about estate and capital gains taxes, and an attorney to draw up the documents. Having your lender on hand, especially if financing is involved, is critical, as is an estate or financial planner. And it's wise to have a counselor available if family rifts arise."
"Ask yourself if you're looking to pass on wealth or a legacy," Hanson advised. "Give your children interested in farming enough time to learn and gain experience, while communicating to your entire family your plans for that property and those assets after you die. Trust and openness are key to keeping the family together and family is even more important than that farm."

A Portland wedding is almost certain to include a number of out-of-town guests. What to do with them when they're not at one of the official wedding activities or events? This video highlights the Top 5 Travel Attractions for a Portland wedding, and here are ideas on how you can incorporate each one:
- Downtown: Portland's city center is well-planned and walkable, and you want to give your guests the best way to experience a bit of it all. Suggestions: set up your hotel rooms in the vibrant city center and choose locations that have lots of restaurants and shopping right at your guests' doorstep, such as Embassy Suites Downtown, The Nines, The Benson, and Courtyard by Marriott City Center.
- Japanese Garden: A wonderful afternoon day trip for guests and easily reachable by Portland MAX light rail. Why not include a couple of tickets in with your guests' welcome amenity when they arrive at the hotel?
- City Hall: Portland's seat of government is a cool building, but not much going on the weekends during wedding season. However, did you know the venue itself is beautiful and bookable for weddings and events? You can contact the City Facilities office for more information about using City Hall as part of your Portland event.
- Oregon Zoo: The Oregon Zoo is a top attraction in Portland and a worthwhile addition to your guest "Things To Do" list or wedding website. Like City Hall -- the Oregon Zoo also includes private rental space for an out-of-towner mixer, rehearsal dinner, or even the wedding reception itself.
- Mount Hood: One hour away from Portland, Mount Hood is great for an out-of-towner activity or chartered day trip. There are also many wedding venues in the area, such as Mt Hood Organic Farms, Mt Hood Bed and Breakfast, or Timberline Lodge. In the summertime, Ski Bowl offers a combination of amusement-park atmosphere and outdoor activities such as horseback riding or hiking.
If you're having guests who have never been to Portland before, they'll appreciate your including some of the top 5 travel attractions in your wedding so they can get the full Portland, Oregon experience.

Jan. 14, 2011
SEATTLE - University of Washington tailback Chris Polk confirmed Friday that he will return to the Husky football team for the 2011 season.
Polk, from Redlands, Calif., will be a fourth-year junior in 2011. Because he redshirted his freshman season in 2008, he was eligible to enter the 2011 NFL Draft had he chosen to, despite having just completed his sophomore year. In 2010, he rushed for 1,415 yards, second most in Husky history.
"I thought it would be better for me to stay at the UW," Polk said. "I came here to get a degree and I'm really close to that, so why not finish? I'm not ready to leave the college atmosphere and my teammates just yet.
"We have a young team and a lot of great players coming back," he continued. "I'm really looking forward to next year."
"We're excited to have Chris back for his junior season," UW head coach Steve Sarkisian said. "He's an excellent team leader with tremendous work ethic, and we look forward to watching him accomplish his goals next season."
Polk will enter the 2011 season with 2,561 career yards, already No. 6 on the UW career rushing list. His 260 carries in 2010 were third-most in a season, his 506 career attempts rank eighth and his career average of 94.9 yards per game is the highest ever at Washington. He's just the third Husky back in history to rush for 1,000 yards in two different seasons (joining Greg Lewis and Napoleon Kaufman).
Polk was named the offensive MVP of the Holiday Bowl, rushing for 177 yards and a touchdown to lead the UW to a 19-7 win over Nebraska. That performance followed a 284-yard outing in the Apple Cup win over Washington State, the second-highest, single-game total in school history.

Each day is a new excursion for a puppy. Those of us who have raised a dog from puppy to adult and then stayed in that relationship for the years to come; we know the fun and of course destruction a puppy can bring. When looking at a new pet, people need to approach this addition with open eyes and pure love in their hearts. Every pet is different and every steward of that pet is different. Some will test us beyond the boundaries we know about and then some; while others will move into our home and lives to be the absolute best pet ever.
The pet can be an AKC with papers as long as the road to the capital or with a linage as questionable as the road to the capital. The important questions we must ask ourselves are we ready for this ride. When adopting a new pet we must do our homework, for instance a Jack Russell is the cutest thing ever; but also has more energy than that pink bunny which says it keeps going and going and going. Are we ready for that? While a Husky may seem the perfect pet to have outside with only a random visit to the inside; but we must remember they have an insatiable curiosity and will go to drastic length to figure out what something is, this may include eating the dog house.
If this is the summer of a new pet, do the homework. Look at time we have the setting we have and most of all be sure we can meet the needs of this new friend. When adopting a large breed that will only be happy with lots of exercise, are we ready to devote this kind of time and physical activity. While so many of are working or looking for work or want to work, where will this leave the new friend in our life. Do we have the financial ability to place the pet in daycare at the very least half a day? If not, we probably do not have the financial ability to replace the carpet our new friend just ripped up and shredded. What kind of activities can be in place at home for our new friend when we are making the financial freedom to have this friend?
Doing all the research and going into pet ownership with open eyes, is one of the most satisfying things we can do. This pet will be here for us, when all else is gone. When in the middle of the night there is a need for companionship after hearing a friend has just passed on or when we have just been fired for something which was totally not our fault. This is the one who will change rooms of the house as we do, just to be close. Yes we cannot ask for a better friend or confidant.

Intimate Relationships, 6th Edition, Rowland Miller
The sixth edition of Intimate Relationships is the most accessible, comprehensive, and current work available. This text has a broad reach, drawing from all the relationship sciences including material from social psychology, communication studies, family studies, sociology, clinical psychology, and neuroscience. Clearly on the cutting edge, it presents all of the new developments in the field and exudes vigorous standards of scholarship while maintaining a highly acclaimed reader-friendly style that sets the text apart.
Generally, textbooks are dry affairs that one puts down once class is over. For Intimate Relationships, however, I found myself reading the material independent of class study; I honestly found it that interesting. The material is often directly applicable and you cannot help compare the research and examples to your own relationships.
This book is a great read. Although it is a textbook, the chapter titles alone make you want to read it. This book gives you a nice break down of relationships and everything that goes along with it.
This book is very scientific based, besides the romantic cover you may think. it is very informative to read and therefore it is absolutely something to study. This book is divided by chapters on different topics, and they are equally important. I recommend this book to anyone who interested in relationship studies.
Product Details :
- Paperback: 576 pages
- Publisher: McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages; 6 edition (October 17, 2011)

$1.00/1 – Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Pizza – (coupons.com)
page 1, in zip 90210
3 thoughts on "Save $1.00 on Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Pizza"
These are the best frozen pizzas out there! Why is Target discontinuing them? Guess I'll have to shop somewhere else. I buy so many of them.
Does anyone know the typical prices of the Newman's Own and A.F. pizzas?? Thanks.
Check for these in clearance at Target! I got a couple of the white pizzas for $3.92 after the coupon. I love the Newman's Own pizzas so I was pretty excited about the deal. They also had three or four different varieties of the Archer Farms thin crust pizzas marked down, has anybody tried them? I'm wondering if they're any good.

Comcast, everyone's least favorite internet service provider, has just announced plans to turn every customer's cable modem into a public WiFi hotspot… by default. Let me explain this more clearly: your home is a Comcast Hotspot and anybody strolling down your street can mooch off your internet connection.
8 reasons Comcast's public WiFi hotspot plan is a major dick move
- Security nightmare
- Privacy nightmare
- Your speed is going to suck even more. Cable modem bandwidth is shared because of the nature of the technology. Your pipes are shared with your neighbors, which explains why Netflix bogs down and buffers every night during prime time.
- It's highly unethical. If my water is shut off, can I run a hose from another Indiana American Water customer's house to my pool and fill it up? Or… can I use another customer's toilet when nature calls?
- Comcast is reselling your bandwidth for $20 per week. Non-Xfinity customers can buy hourly, daily, or weekly passes to use your internet access that you paid for and you don't receive any compensation! Did I mention something about ethics? (thanks, Ed)
- The Comcast hotspot feature is now on by default (with free access to other Xfinity hotspots) for customers in Lafayette, Bloomington, Kokomo, Fort Wayne, and Indianapolis. (See related reasons 1 and 2 above.)
- You have to deal with Craptastic™ Comcast Customer service to opt-out of this nightmare. Good luck getting through without being upsold on some limited time offer that will revert back to $160 monthly after 6 months. To opt out online, login to Comcast, click "Users & Preferences," and select "Manage Xfinity WiFi."
- Comcast is too big and unchecked. The cable giant already owns NBC/Universal (aka Kabletown) and is about to merge with TimeWarner Cable (TWC) to become the largest ISP in the US. They will command 19 of the top 20 markets in the US, unless the FCC grows a pair and stops the merger (not likely). It's gotten so bad that Netflix has been forced to make deals with Comcast and Verizon to ensure their speed is guaranteed to its customers. Effectively, Comcast and other giants have created an Internet slow lane, unless content providers pay to play. If this doesn't make any sense, allow John Oliver to explain:
The good news is, if the Comcast/TWC merger goes through, Comcast will divest its Indiana customers to Charter Communications. Wait. Never mind. Charter sucks too. They were our provider when I used to live in St. Louis. If you care about consumer protection, learn how to contact the FCC about net neutrality.
Do yourself a favor: switch to Metronet 100% fiber optic internet, TV, and phone. Tell them James Britton sent you. Metronet won't bullshit with limited time offers or shared bandwidth and they certainly don't offer up your WiFi as a public toilet.
I'll buy you a six pack of beer and you'll soon be thanking me for the advice to switch.

PM Netanyahu forms new government
PM Netanyahu: "As you know, I formed a government. We face a decisive year in the fields of security and economy, in efforts to promote peace and in Israelis' desire to effect change."

Following the signing of coalition agreements with Yesh Atid and Habayit Hayehudi, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Shimon Peres on Saturday evening, March 16, to inform him that he has succeeded in the task of forming a government. The new government is scheduled to be sworn in on Monday at the Knesset.
PM Netanyahu: "As you know, I formed a government. We face a decisive year in the fields of security and economy, in efforts to promote peace and in Israelis' desire to effect change. There is cooperation in this government and I believe we will bring change to all Israeli citizens in all areas. That is my mission."
President Peres: "The task of forming a government is complex and requires great efforts and resourcefulness. There were difficulties in the creation of this government and I congratulate Prime Minister Netanyahu that succeeded in forming the government in time. There are problems pending but they are also full of opportunities in the fields of security, welfare and in making peace in progressing the peace process. The country needs it and the people need it. The time has come.
Good luck and my blessings to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the new government."
The White House issued the following statement: "President Obama congratulates the Israeli people, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the new members of the Prime Minister's governing coalition on the successful formation of Israel's new government.

The City of St. Augustine city commission voted unanimously Monday night to oppose House Bill 1037 introduced by State Representative Bill Proctor (R-St. Aug) to give the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) eminent domain power. The opposition was in the form of a resolution which was presented by Commissioner Nancy Sikes-Kline and passed unanimously by the city commission.
The bill which was filed in the Florida legislature, has a companion Senate Bill 1348 and is co-sponsored by Stephen Wise, District 5, Jacksonville (which includes the northwest area of St. Johns County) and Don Gaetz, District 4, Destin.
St. Augustine residents are encouraged by the city commission to contact Representative Proctor and Senators Wise and Gaetz to voice an opinion on the bill. Both bills must go through the appropriate committees before reaching the house and senate floors for passage, so this is a critical time to voice your opinion on the bill. The public is encouraged to contact members of the committees of both the house and senate to voice their opinion. The members of the committees can be found on the links below.
The best way to contact the members of the committees is to go to the Florida Legislature Senate Web site by clicking here. The senate bill (SB1348) has been referred to the Education Pre-K - 12; Community Affairs; Budget committees. The house bill has been referred to the Community & Military Affairs Subcommittee and the Economic Affairs Committee. The House of Representatives (HB 1037) Web site can be reached by clicking here.
The FSDB campus is bounded on the north by the Fullerwood Park and the south by Nelmar Terrace. Both neighborhoods are on the National Register of Historic Places. After a lengthy discussion from neighbors on both sides of the campus, a motion was made by Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman to approve the resolution which passed the commission unanimously.
The resolution will ultimately be forwarded to Representative Proctor and Senators Wise and Gaetz to make them aware of the position taken by the commission.

Unbelievably, radio sports talking heads seem to have an issue with New York Mets second baseman taking a couple of days off, wait for it, to be with his wife during the birth of his first child.
Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton, hosts of the radio show "Boomer & Carton," took issue on air about Murphy taking the time off. They didn't like it, and neither the importance of fatherhood or the facts mattered. Both pundits claimed Murphy has "a legal right" to take two weeks paternity leave. (Major League Baseball allows 3 days paternity for players.) Carton, who was doing a remarkable impression of SNL's second hand news correspondent Anthony Crispino, repeatedly cited an unattributed newspaper article as gospel, while he and Esiason actually said that Mrs. Murphy should have undergone an elective C-section prior to the season starting.
Carton said: "Assuming everything goes right, Mom's healthy, baby's healthy, normally 24 hours after you give birth, worst case, 48, you're home with the baby. Whattaya doin'? I got four of these little rugrats. There's nothing to do."
Murphy isn't going to be home with his wife and infant son. He and his wife live in Florida. The Mets opening series is at home, at Citi Field, which at last check was still in Flushing, New York. Mr. Carton's hands-off attitude towards child-rearing wouldn't be endorsed by most major parenting magazines. "There's nothing to do?" Feeding and changing diapers don't count? Perhaps in Cartonland a man's role ends after he brings home the mastodon meat. Esiason's take seems to be that a father's responsibilities are primarily financial. He should spend a morning in Family Court and listen to the number of sperm donors who vehemently debate that particular point.
WFAN commentator Mike Francesca was no less neanderthal. Quoted in the New York Daily News, Francesca said: "For a baseball player. You take a day, all right. Back in the lineup the next day! What are you doing?" he said. "I guarantee you are not sitting there holding your wife's hand. . . . I had three kids. . . I was at the birth and was back to work the next day. I didn't see any reason not to be working. Harrison (Francesa's son) was born at nine in the morning. I worked that day. What was I gonna do, sit with my wife in the hospital?"
Yes, that might have actually been exactly the idea.
That these men (they don't deserve to be called gentle) actually find it appropriate to criticize a young man for taking a short amount of time to be his wife and son at birth is little short of reprehensible. That they're giving reproductive medical advice to women probably qualifies them to run for Congress. This writer finds it sufficient to pat Daniel Murphy on the head for not being stupid enough to go to his wife and say "Honey? Would you mind having unnecessary major surgery so I don't miss a couple of games at the beginning of the season?"
The Mets, despite losing the first two games of the season, do not appear to have a problem with Murphy taking the paternity leave. A spokesman for the team said "The New York Mets completely support Daniel Murphy's decision to take advantage of the paternity leave allowed him by Major League Baseball." Daniel Murphy, by the way, played more games than anyone else on the team during the 2013 baseball season.

On my recent tour of SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza, I was invited behind the counter to see for myself how SPIN! answers the question, "How do you prevent cross contamination in a pizza place?" General Manager, Kyle Kroencke, smiled, saying, "We do everything we can." He then proceeded to show exactly how true that is.
The biggest question about cross contamination in pizza is usually the crust. SPIN! makes the dough for their "regular pizzas in house, which means that there is flour in use in the store. The gluten free crusts at SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza come pre-made from Olivia's Oven, a Kansas City gluten free bakery. They are wrapped in plastic and stored on the opposite side of the prep area from the flour. Each crust stays wrapped in a cabinet until it is needed.
Along with separating the crusts, SPIN! has designated separate prep and storage areas for all of the gluten free utensils, bowls and pans. The staff is well trained in cross contamination. For those that might forget, the guidelines are clearly posted next to the oven for easy reference.
Want to know more? Check out the slideshow for a photo tour of the prep area at SPIN! and read the other two articles about my visit to SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza:

STANFORD, Calif. -- The Stanford women's swimming and diving team takes some of the top times in the nation to Minneapolis, Minn., for the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships March 20-22. The Cardinal will look to improve its run of 32 straight finishes within the NCAA's top eight, a streak that has spanned every year of the national meet's existence.
"I'm as excited about this group of young women as I have been with any team I've ever been a part of," said head coach Greg Meehan. "They have worked so hard to put themselves in a position to be successful this week; and as a coach, that's all you can ask for. Their consistency day in and day was impressive. Now they can go enjoy being in the moment of racing for Stanford and helping our team achieve its goals."
Stanford has 11 times that fall in the country's top 10, including three from seniors Maya DiRado and Felicia Lee. Those two have also helped the Cardinal become one of the top relay teams in the nation, as all five relay squads have qualified with top-four marks.
DiRado, a 15-time All-American, is poised for another outstanding NCAA meet. She finished second in the 400 IM, third in 200 IM, fifth in 200 back at the 2013 national championships and has qualified second in both the 200 IM and 200 fly and third in the 400 IM this season. It will be the final meet in her storied Cardinal career that includes seven Pac-12 titles and eight appearances in Stanford's record book for all-time top-five times.
The versatile Lee won a pair of Pac-12 titles (100 fly, 200 medley relay) two weeks ago and will look to add to her resume filled with 12 All-American performances. She swam all five relays last season at the NCAA meet, helping Stanford to four top-five finishes and another seventh-place showing. This season, Lee has qualified ninth in the 200 IM, third in the 100 fly and 100 back and will once again be a large part of the relay effort.
The Cardinal has a pair of strong freestyle swimmers looking to make the NCAA finals. Lia Neal is ranked fourth in the 100 and 200 free and Maddy Schaefer is sixth in the 50 and ninth in the 100. Neal also comes in 22nd in the 200 free and Schaefer is 17th on the 100 back list.
Breaststroke swimmer Katie Olsen could make a bid for the finals in both of her specialty events. She comes into the week seventh in the 100 breast and 13th in the 200 breast after winning each event at the Pac-12 meet.
Other Stanford swimmers making the trip are Julia Anderson (200 free, 20th), Sarah Haase (100 breast, 24th), Mackenzie Stein (200fly, 27th), Nicole Stafford (relays), Andie Taylor (500 free, 34th; 400 IM, 22nd) and Annemarie Thayer (200 back, 13th).
Stanford's swimmers will be joined by Alex Clay, the sole diving representative for the Cardinal. Clay qualified for the NCAA meet by finishing second in the 1-meter diving competition at Zones.
"She just had an amazing three weeks," diving coach Dr. Rick Schavone said. "She had a great conference meet, a good week of practice and then a great day (at Zones). Again, the only word I can think of is amazing."
ESPN3 will stream the championship finals sessions on Friday and Saturday. Thursday's sessions, along with the morning sessions on Friday and Saturday, will be streamed live via gophersports.com. Coverage of the championships will also be broadcast on ESPNU at 6 p.m. PT, Wednesday, April 2.

College Hockey:Yale Back in the Hunt; Dartmouth Loses Out on Ivy Crown
HANOVER, N.H. — Two two-goal outbursts later, Yale is back in the thick of the ECAC playoff race.
The Bulldogs scored two goals 38 seconds apart in the second period, and another pair 1:56 apart in the third, en route to a 4-2 upset of Dartmouth in front of 3,965 at Thompson Arena.
Captain Luke Earl netted both of Yale's third-period goals to snap a 2-2 deadlock.
The win lifted Yale (8-17-2, 7-11-2 ECAC) into a tie with St. Lawrence for 10th place in the league. The Bulldogs and Saints are one point behind Union and two behind Princeton.
When the regular season ends next Saturday, 10 teams will qualify for the postseason.
"I told the kids at the beginning of this week that we have to readjust our goals," head coach Tim Taylor said. "We've gone from wanting home ice to wanting to sneak in. But we have to keep our eyes on that goal. I was very proud of the character we showed this weekend."
The win completed a weekend of firsts for the Bulldogs.
Yale, which defeated Vermont, 4-2, Friday night, now has its first two-game winning streak of the year.
Also, the Bulldogs netted two power-play goals against Dartmouth a night after they netted two man-advantage goals in a game for the first time all season.
"Special teams was a positive factor for us this weekend," Taylor said. "We've been killing penalties well all year long. I'm just so happy for our kids. We got the results that we wanted."
The loss was a disappointing one for Dartmouth (12-10-5, 9-6-5), which failed to earn a win that would have sewn up the program's first Ivy League title in 22 years.
"We got only one out of four points this weekend and we didn't win the Ivy title," senior Chris Taliercio said. "This is my last year trying to get one, and I would have liked to have a ring wrapped up by now."
The home team's disappointment after the game was dwarfed only by its outward anger about the officiating. Yale had seven power plays to Dartmouth's four, and had four chances with the extra man in the first 12:21. The Bulldogs finished the game with two power-play goals.
Dartmouth head coach Bob Gaudet was livid at times during the game and had a lengthy discussion with head referee Peter Torgerson when it was over, but was more reserved when asked his opinion of the officiating.
"It was one step forward and two back tonight," Gaudet said. "There are so many things in this game that are completely out of your control.
"They obviously benefited from [seven] power plays. We didn't get those chances in our building. For whatever reason, we didn't."
Unlike his head coach, Taliercio did not mince words.
"I felt like it was a bunch of 25-year-old goons playing 15-year-olds, and every time we touched somebody, he called a penalty," Taliercio said. "I think he is the worst ref in the league, and you can put that in any paper you want. He ruined a good game tonight."
The Big Green spent 7:22 of the first 14:21 on the penalty kill, as Torgerson whistled the home team for the first four minor infractions of the game. Dartmouth killed all four of the Yale power plays, including a 38-second stretch in which the Bulldogs had a two-man advantage.
Midway through the second period, the fifth Yale power play proved to be the charm, as it ignited a two-goal outburst.
The visitors scored a pair of goals just 38 seconds apart, with Jeff Dwyer netting the first with the man advantage before left winger Mike Klema one-timed a pass from Ryan Steeves past Nick Boucher (21 saves) to make it 2-0.
Dartmouth got on the board at 14:42 of the middle frame, as rookie Lee Stempniak followed his own rebound and punched his 10th of the season between the pipes. The Big Green then knotted the score at 6:57 of the third when Kent Gillings, tied up with a defenseman in the slot, used his only free hand to slide the puck past Dan Lombard (38 saves).
But the 2-2 tie did not last for long, as Earl netted a pair to put the Bulldogs en route to the weekend sweep.
"I'm very happy for Luke," Taylor said. "He works very, very hard. He's been a great captain and the emotional leader of this team."
Dartmouth, now tied with Clarkson and Harvard for second in the ECAC standings, will finish the regular season next weekend at St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
Yale will host Harvard and Brown as it looks to avoid becoming the first Bulldog squad since 1995-96 to miss the playoffs.

on behalf of the applicant: John Barbarula, Esq.; Thomas Berami, PE
Berarni, PE – sworn
the property for the Board. This is a
5,407 s.f. lot located in the R-15 zone.
15,000 s.f. is required. In
accordance with the zone, in order to build a complying building envelope it
would be 862 s.f.
marked in:
A1 – plan showing building
envelope without variance
Berami – There are 3 pre-existing variance conditions. Requesting variances for front, side and
combined sides, extensions into yards for fireplace and building and impervious
coverage variances. The porch and the
dinette area are what make the variances required. It would not look architecturally pleasing without these
areas. If the garage was attached it
would take up most of the living area.
Propose a detached garage.
Provided for a longer driveway due to garage being in rear of the
property. The driveway is 70' long,
could fit 3 ½ cars off street plus the utilization of the garage. Impervious coverage variance requested of
3,467.0 s.f. where 3,081.4 is permitted.
There is a difference of 381 s.f.
If you center the house on the property there would not be enough room
to drive past the house to the rear garage.
We slid the house to the left to allow for the location of the driveway. The side yard to the left of the property is
proposed to be 6' and to the right of the property 16' where 15' is
required. The house was located in this
position to give the most side yard to the neighboring properties.
Berami - The permitted front setback is 35'; we positioned the front of the
building 33' from the edge of pavement. The accessory structure (484 s.f.
garage) is to be located 5' from rear yard and 5' from side yard. If moved, the
cars could not turnaround and would increase the impervious coverage variance.
The driveway grade in front is at 5% within the first 20' of the lot down to 2%
by garage. Propose curbing to retain water on site, which will drain to seepage
pits on site. We are trying to maintain
grade that is there now to have a front yard that looks relatively flat. Design exception for driveway less that 12'
wide requested. A 10' wide driveway
would not have an effect on the neighborhood or the zoning ordinance.
to time constraints the application was carried with notice to 10/3/07 with an
extension of time to act to 10/4/07
Mr. DiPiazza stepped down on the following application:
ZC05-06 Lazo - B: 111, L: 12 - 32 Alpine Rd – demolition of existing

and access off Rose Court as well. Rose Court is a fully improved road. There are pre-existing non-conformities on
this lot: lot area, minimum depth, frontage from Alpine Road, rear setback and building coverage existing
non-conformities. The front setback
from Alpine Road exists at 3.2' where we propose 11.5'. Propose to demolish house and garage and
rebuild. The lot is substantially
undersized. The setback from the right
of way will be improved from 10' to 11'.
Rear setback improved from 13.5' to 22.4'. Building coverage was over as exists and will now comply. We have made all existing non-conformities
better by this proposal. Municipal
sewer is available to the site but municipal water has not been brought to his
house yet so there will be a well.

and Sewer and the Township Engineer.
Walker – I was the engineer on both the Forest Ridge subdivision and
Evangelical Mission property so I am very aware of the area. There is no room on the lot for a side

plans as submitted? Mr. Walker –
No. Mr. Denzler – Was there any attempt
to purchase additional property? Mr.
Walker – The only property we could purchase would be if the road was
vacated. The Planning Board requested
that right of way in a previous application.

concerns. Mr. Walker – I believe we

Marinello indicated that a meeting was held last week with the chairman of the
Planning Board and Board of Adjustment and the board attorneys to discuss the
growing complexity of planning in our town, the balancing of the needs of new
applicants with existing homeowners and business owners. It was a good way of getting the boards to
look at common goals and issues facing them especially since we are dealing
with many different complex-planning applications. We also looked at ways to balance the needs of new applicants
against existing homeowners and business owners. Different ways of approaching uniformity discussed resulting in
asking that both board professionals share their professional reports on major
site plans to assist in heightening their sensitivity to the issues facing us,
and to look towards coordination of improvements in same manner. The chairs would also like these
professionals to advise the land use office when development applications are
filed and there is off-site easements/disturbance and/or a major affect, then
extension beyond MLUL 200' should be considered by township. Also discussed,
that the Board of Adjustment is allowed to request a report from the Planning
Board on certain applications, and they may start that practice.
Board endorsed the approach taken at the joint meeting and recommended that
chair attend future meetings on the Board's behalf.

I experience life's conditions (such as age, youth, hope, resignation, struggle, sexuality, and nature) in ways which are spontaneous, eternal, and distilled: filtered through my use of selection, media, visual language, light, mood, surroundings, unconsciousness, process, tools, and equipment.
I grew up in Maine. My roots and interests are global. I am a woman, a Buddhist, a humanitarian, an environmentalist, and a lover of truth. I studied graphic design, photography, and fine art at Rochester Institute of Technology, Massachusetts College of Art, and the University of Southern Maine.

Hi Abi,
I just went through the book and it was great to see your photos again as a cohesive collection. I cannot wait to see a printed copy!
As I stated earlier, I especially loved how the subjects in the photos with black backgrounds were visually embedded within the pages. A stunning effect...great choice of background color.
Seeing the work as a cohesive piece, really does bring to life the diversity and visual complexity of your subjects and the different ways you "see" your subjects and portray them photographically. Each photo of each woman evokes a broad spectrum of emotions and moods as a collection.
Beautiful work!

The light texture and bright colors in the Stone Soup Woven Cotton Rug ($30-414) is making us daydream about being seaside. This fantasy also has us sipping gin fizzes from the shade of a screened-in porch on a breezy afternoon. Yup, all that from a rug! It would look stellar against the worn wooden planks of a beach house!

|K-9 Unit
In the latter months of 2008, Newport Police Department reached out to the community for support in an effort to obtain a K-9 team for drug detection work. 'Friends of Newport K-9' began fundraising efforts within the community to raise $70,000 in order to purchase a police service dog and provide training for an Officer who will be part of the K-9 team.
On November 7, 2008, Officer T.J. Eriksen traveled to Portland to pick up Eyan, a two year-old German Shepherd, flown from the Czech Republic to Portland International Airport.
K-9 teams enhance a department's ability to respond to emergencies, particularly in the areas of Officer protection, drug detection, tracking, area and building searches, and apprehension of suspects. Canines can perform these functions more quickly, efficiently, and safely than officers on foot.
The K-9 team provides a significant resource to assist our personnel and other law enforcement agencies in the area, in carrying out their duties, and this ultimately results in cost savings to the taxpayers.
Law enforcement agency K-9 teams are deployed on various patrol shifts and are also available for callout as necessary. The teams dedicate approximately eight hours to monthly maintenance training to demonstrate ongoing proficiency in their work, but in reality, every day is training when working with police service dogs. Obedience is the most important aspect of training and is the foundation for the successful performance of the other skills required of police service dogs.
K-9 teams promote an atmosphere of community awareness and positive public relations through programs and K-9 demonstrations presented for groups, organizations and school children. This ongoing positive interaction with the youth and. citizens .of .the .community, .coupled with their continued support and collaborative efforts,results in an effective and well maintained K-9 Program of which any community can be proud.
Eyan is now well known throughout the State, and is very active in the Oregon Police Canine Association. Eyan has consistently passed the rigorous Oregon certifications standards with a 100% score, as he did while testing for his National Certification with the National Police Canine Association. When the Newport Police Department hosted the 2010 OPCA Spring Seminar, Eyan passed the certification test with a 100% score, while other dogs were struggling for a passing score.
While working with Officer Eriksen, Eyan was deployed 231 times, and linked to 147 arrests. In comparison, the average number of arrests made by NPD officers during the same time period was 106. Eyan has been used by numerous agencies in Lincoln, Tillamook, Linn, and Benton Counties. Eyan directly assisted in the seizure of more than $100,000 of drug money. He has successfully detected every drug he's trained to locate, which includes Meth, Marijuana, Cocaine (crack and regular), and Heroin.
Eyan and Officer Eriksen made numerous presentations to community organizations, from the Newport Senior Center and Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce to the Ocean Spray Community Center and the Lincoln County Chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees. During the past two years, the Newport Police Department canine team partnered with the Lincoln County School District to conduct multiple routine and preventative drug searches of schools. Eyan has been a welcomed guest at our area schools, and will continue to visit during each school year.
On November 30, 2014, Eyan retired from service with the Newport Police Department. Due to the success that Eyan and his handlers have had, the Newport Police Department intends to continue the legacy created by Eyan with a new police canine. Selecting a new canine team is a lengthy process. While we have not yet identified a timeline, our goal is to acquire the funding needed to purchase and train a new canine team in the near future.
