The NTPUD board elections are here. Friends run against friends and things get personal. This time, unlike most elections, we actually have competition. I've worked with and am friends with all 6 candidates. They're all honest people. I've asked them to increase public participation in the election process and board meetings. The NTPUD is our only local governing body. They influence our lives and pocketbooks and the process should be more open.1. NTPUD elections should be "at large." Since NTPUD directors represent the entire district there is no reason to run for individual seats. If this election were "at large," there would be 6 candidates vying for 3 seats. As voters, we'd select three candidates. With separate races, we might vote for someone we prefer in one race and be forced to vote for a lesser choice in another.2. Board meetings should be changed to a better time to allow more public participation. Ten am meetings don't work for business owners or workers.Ramona Cruz, Teresa O'Dette and Ernie Dambach have all agreed to make these changes so I'm supporting them. My support of these candidates has nothing to do with a "rumored" merger of the two PUDs. But It's no secret I think the two PUDs should undertake another study about the possibility.Finally, I have known and worked with Ramona Cruz for 25 years. She's as honest and ethical as they get and has been a tireless volunteer in our community. She raised her son in Kings Beach. As a PUD board member, I know Ramona's agenda will be to do what's best for our district. To suggest otherwise is not to know Ramona.I hope this is the last election where friends run against friends and potential candidates choose not to enter the contest. We can do better.Dave Ferrari, Kings BeachBoard member, Sierra College

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 2.2 Einsatzgruppe B
|< 2.1 Einsatzgruppe A
|2.4 Einsatzgruppe z.b.V. >
|2.7 Conclusions >>
2.3 Einsatzgruppe C
2.3.1The shooting of Jewish men can be documented for the month of July for all four Commandos of EG C: - Commando 6 shot at least 80 Jewish men in "retribution" for the supposed attacks by the parting Russian troops as early as 30 June in Dobromil, on the orders of the HSSPF Russia South, Jeckeln, and the Leader of the EG C, Rasch.75 - The EK 5 and 6 together participated in the massacre of the Jews of Lvov which was organised by the Higher SS and Police Leader South, Friedrich Jeckeln, as well as the staff of Group C. As justification for this massacre, the Einsatzgruppen proposed "retribution": this was supposed to be retribution for the murder by Soviet authorities - immediately before their departure - of Ukrainian nationalists found in the jails of the city.76 In the event report it is stated: "About 7000 Jews were collected and shot by the Security Police in retribution for these inhuman atrocities... Above all, Jews between 20 and 40 were seized, whereas artisans and specialists were set aside in so far as it was meaningful."77
2.3.2- After its participation in the massacre in Lvov, Commando 5 initiated different "actions" in Berditshev78 and in the nearby areas, such as Chmielnik79, where a "retribution action" in which 299 people, mostly Jews, were shot, occured. - The EK 6, after deployment in Dobromil and Lvov, spent the second half of July in the Ukrainian town of Winniza, where it undertook further executions, including one with 146 victims and another which resulted in the death of 600 Jews.80
2.3.3- The Special Commando 4 a, according to its own report at the end of June, had already shot over 300 people who were first labelled "communists" and then "Jewish communists" in Sokal.81 At the beginning of July it perpetuated an even more extensive massacre in Luzk, where according to its own report, 2000 Jews were killed "as a measure in response to the murder of Ukrainians".82 The Commando moved further towards Shitomir where in three "actions" in July over 600 Jewish men were murdered. On 7 August a further group of 402 Jews were shot.83
2.3.4- In the second half of July, the SK 4 b shot at least 100 people in Vinniza in the context of the so-called "intellegentsia action".84 Their own report on this action makes clear the arbitrary character of their persecution of the "Jewish-bolshevist leadership" When an "overhaul of the city for leading Jewish personalities had produced scarcely satisfying results"85, according to the report, the leaders of the Commandos
ordered that the leading Rabbi of the city appear before them and imposed upon him the duty to locate - within 24 hours - the entire Jewish intellegentsia who were required to appear for the purpose of registration. When the first gathering proved numerically unsatisfactory, those Intelligenzjuden who had appeared were sent away with instructions to find more Intelligenzjuden on their own and to bring them in the next day. These measures were carried on for a third time with the result that in this way almost the entire class of Intelligenzjuden were registered and liquidated.86
2.3.5The first conclusive report about the activities of EG C in Belorus from the beginning of July, 1941, contains an important indication that the group staff understood the given orders to execute as meaning that not only Jews in "party and state positions" were affected: "On the basis of the instructions issued by the RSHA, the liquidation of functionaries of the state and police apparatus in all the named cites of Belorus was undertaken. Concerning the Jews the same orders were followed."87
2.3.6The event report of 20 August (EG C) describes an "action" and this description also very clearly exposes the use of "retribution" as a pretence.
In Januszpol, a city a quarter of whose population was Jewish, in the last few days especially the Jewish women have shown impudent and arrogant behaviour because of limitations imposed upon them. They tore their own and their children's clothes off their bodies. As provisional retribution, the Commando which arrived for the purpose of re-establishing the peace shot 15 male Jews. Further retribution measures followed.88

EAGLE COUNTY - For snow sports, the days of 14-year old skiers earning world championship points are now behind us.-
As of this year, the International Ski Federation (FIS) has revised its rules to make eligibility for competition in sanctioned events start with athletes who turn 16 during the main competition year, rather than 15-years old as had long been the case. For local clubs, that means the traditional "J" age groupings (J6 -- J1) will be abandoned for "U" age groupings (U10 -- U18), like the system youth athletes and parents might recognize from club soccer or lacrosse.-
"The kids that have been J3s are now going to be U16," said Dan Stripp, alpine director at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail. "So let's say a 14-year old normally would have been a last-year J3, and as a 15-year old they go into FIS races, international races. Now they're all holding (racers) back a year so 15-year olds this year are going to stay U16."
Federation officials say the move was made for the sake of injury prevention and athlete development.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt said athlete development has always been one of the bigger challenges for the organization.
"We have never really put into place a development program that we can say is the best in the world," Marolt said.
But Stripp said, especially for female athletes who have already grown into their optimal racing bodies, the new ruling has the potential to stifle development.
"The problem is we can't race internationally and get FIS points like we normally would have, so we have to fill that up with other things to keep their interest," said Stripp. "(When) they've been exposed to FIS racing less time when it's time to go to college, either they quit, or they do a (post graduate) year. We're trying to make sure our programming is really moving quickly to get them ready for college, or ready for the national team, if they're going that direction, and see if we can get them there quicker than they normally would because they don't have a lot of time. Once they're 16 and 17, that's it. If they're not really ready to compete in college, then we're in trouble."
Here in the Vail Valley, student athletes are able to compete and receive proper schooling thanks to the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy. Marolt says that's not the case in all areas of the country, which is what spurred his organization to open an academy this fall in Park City.
"We are excited because we have an athletic development pipeline and now we are going to have an academic pipeline that lays right over the top of the athletic pipeline," he said. "At the end of the day a young person that gets into our program is going to have a great athletic experience and at the same time, when they are finished with their skiing careers they are going to have a degree and a great future."
Longtime Vail resident Emily Kloser went through some of the standard junior-athlete development challenges with her daughter, Heidi, a freestyle athlete who was first named to the U.S. Ski Team when she was just 17.
Emily Kloser says while she can understand the pros and cons for 15-year-old athletes, if an athlete is destined for success, another year of youth racing shouldn't be a huge detriment. By the time she turned 16 in September of 2008, Heidi Kloser had competed in a host of FIS and North America Cup races, and had earned a considerable amount of points. She had even earned points as a 14-year-old due to fact she would turn 15 after the competition had ended, but before the end of the year.
"You hate to hold kids back, but you also see plenty of examples where kids just get out there too early," Kloser said. "They're missing school, they're missing a lot, and it makes it more and more of an elitist sport because you have to start having your kids travel so expensively at such a young age."
Emily Kloser said while Heidi competed in her fair share of FIS events in the Rocky Mountain region, she also missed out on a lot of opportunities for international competition and FIS points due to the expense of traveling.
"It was expensive, and she was getting good-quality competition here," Kloser said. "So we made the decision to skip a lot of the NorAm competition until she got older."
Stripp agreed that despite the field lacking an international appeal, here in the Rocky Mountain region his U16 athletes will still be able to find tough competition even if it isn't FIS sanctioned.
"We can't race international races, but we can still race for USSA points. We're going to try to race them more as an adult against other kids who are older," said Stripp. "They can still race against older people in our Smartwool series that we have, for example."
Stripp and the local U16 squad head to Chile this week to continue summer training.

ALAMEDA -- Denarius Moore missed his second day of practice Thursday, raising the possibility the Raiders could be without their most productive wide receiver against the Tennessee Titans.
If Moore, who has a shoulder injury, can't play Sunday at O.co Coliseum, then Andre Holmes, Brice Butler and Jacoby Ford will have to step in and take up the slack, coach Dennis Allen said.
"Denarius has been our leading receiver so it'll have an effect, but it's like everything else we've had to deal with as far as injuries are concerned -- next man up," Allen said.
Moore has 37 receptions for 569 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns.
The previous five home games this season were sellouts. The Raiders put a tarp on the east structure unofficially known as "Mount Davis" as well as third-deck sections on either side of the structure in order to reduce capacity to 52,300 from 63,000 and hopefully avoid blackouts.
The last seven Raiders' home games have been televised dating to a blackout last Dec. 2, a 20-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns before 43,641 fans.
Allen said Pryor "moved around well," but there was no determination if he'd be able to serve as the backup quarterback Sunday.

Contract extension for SDSU's Rocky Long
After becoming the most successful second-year head coach in San Diego State history, Rocky Long has earned himself a contract extension.
On Thursday, Long agreed to a two-year extension that will keep him at Montezuma Mesa through 2017. Long's initial contract with SDSU was a five-year deal worth $4 million that would have expired in 2015.
"I am very excited about the future of Aztec football under Rocky Long's leadership," said SDSU Athletic Director Jim Sterk. "Coach Long has continued the growth and the success in all aspects of our program, while gaining more regional and national interest. I look forward to next season as we look to defend our Mountain West title."
What's more noteworthy than the extension itself is the fact that Long will not be getting a raise along with it.
In this era of multi-millionaire football coaches and blockbuster contracts, that's about as rare as a two-legged dog.
But Long, 63, said he's perfectly content with his $800,000 annual salary.
"I didn't get a raise. I didn't ask for one either," Long said. "I feel very comfortable, so I didn't change it."
Sterk said that when he sat down with Long and asked him what was most important to him and the program, the coach never even mentioned wanting more money. Instead, he talked about improving facilities and increasing his assistants' salaries.
So some of the Aztecs' assistant coaches will be getting pay raises. New offensive coordinator Bob Toledo, for instance, will make $300,000 – up from the $275,000 his predecessor Andy Ludwig made last year.
Sterk said not all the assistants will get raises because "we've done some in the past" but added that he's also working on structuring different bonuses into their contracts.
Taking care of his assistants is one of Long's priorities.
"I think our coaches staying here, that might be the biggest challenge to building the program to where we want it to be," Long said. "Our assistant coaches are not paid very well in comparison to most college staffs, and I thought the willingness to give them a raise was very nice on (Sterk's) part."
Long has been vocal about his desire to remain at SDSU for the long-haul, and he emphasized that again during his press conference.
"I'm not interested in moving any place," Long said. "I plan on coaching for as long as someone lets me coach, and as long as I can physically do it."
He came to SDSU as Hoke's defensive coordinator in 2009, and was offered the head coaching job in January 2011, when Hoke left for Michigan. He's helped the Aztecs to a school-record three-straight bowl games -- two as the head coach -- and compiled a 17-9 overall record. In 2012, SDSU finished 7-1 in the Mountain West and earned a share of the conference title -- its first league title since 1998. Long was also named Mountain West Coach of the Year.
With 17 wins, Long is tied with Claude Gilbert (1973-74) for most victories through the first two seasons as an Aztecs head football coach. With his .654 winning percentage, he also trails only Don Coryell (.840 from 1961-72) and Gilbert (.697 from 1973-80) as the third-most successful coach in SDSU football history.
Success has come much faster than Long anticipated when he laid out his initial designs for a five-year plan at the beginning of his tenure as head coach.
"The (plan) was to within five years be in a couple bowl games and win a conference championship. So I guess we're one year ahead of the plan," Long said. "Now, the plan is to try and move to an elite level, try to be a top-25 team like our basketball program.
"And then maybe if we can have one of those really good football teams where you get lucky along the way and can win enough games to get in one of the bigger bowl games, that'd be nice."

I love taking pictures of scenery…and I 'm actually not bad at it considering I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. That's why I jump at the chance to take excursions like this where I can spend a day in fabulous locations taking amazing photographs like a pro. It's like sightseeing and photography lessons all in one. On this private tour, you'll be treated to a full-day exploration of the Big Island's most stunning scenic sights, her lush rain forests and spectacular coasts. Your guides will instruct you on expert fine art techniques allowing you to capture the most stunning images possible. If you've seen incredible pictures of the ocean peeking out of a hole in the rocks creating by years of pounding surf and think, "Wow-if only I could capture that" then this is your chance. Waterfalls, rainbows and amazing panoramic views are waiting for you to capture on film. You'll have time to stop for a casual meal at a local hotspot and soak up the island way of life. You'll have the choice of a morning or afternoon shoot and, if you would like my opinion, take the afternoon safari. You'll learn how to capture the perfect sunset as well as the magic of the city lights and know that this time around, your photos will be frame-worthy. The best part is that you can enjoy a unique experience and we can tailor it just for you. Just ask and it's yours. Oh, and make sure you send me a couple of photos from your tour so I can post them on our website and make you famous….I'd love to see it.

The #1 Children's vitamin brand in the US contains ingredients that most parents would never intentionally expose their children to, so why aren't more opting for healthier alternatives?
Written by Rady Ananda
Last year, at the G8 Summit held at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.
It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like persistence of continual cell turnover within the body - life and death ceaselessly intertwined - the miracle of the human body would not exist.
In a sudden turn of events, three separate incidents of Chinese authorities identifying and destroying illegally imported GM corn from the United States have been reported.
Turmeric is one the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today. Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies.
This humble, but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists.
Is Splenda really a food, or a highly toxic chemical?
While coconut oil has dragged itself out of the muck of vast misrepresentation over the past few years, it still rarely gets the appreciation it truly deserves. Not just a "good" saturated fat, coconut oil is an exceptional healing agent, as well, with loads of useful health applications, which include:
MCTs, the primary type of fat found within coconut oil, have been found to boost cognitive performance in older adults suffering from memory disorders as serious as Alzheimer's -- and not after months or even days of treatment, but after a single 40 ml dose!
Turmeric has been used in India for over 5,000 years, which is likely why still today both rural and urban populations have some of the lowest prevalence rates of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the world. A recent study on patients with AD found that less than a gram of turmeric daily, taken for three months, resulted in 'remarkable improvements.'

�Maybe I�ve been watching too much PBS.� I�m getting irritated with characters with British accents buttering toast.� In really old black-and-white movies and on popular series like Downton Abbey, characters make a show of furiously buttering their toast.� I don�t know the reason for this.� But I know that the reason I�m so irked is that this makes toast seem unappetizing.
On these shows, a character will carefully select a piece of toast from a plate, hold it in the palm of one hand, take a little butter on an overly large knife, and start scraping away like trying to take rust off of an old garden tool.� Scratch, scratch, scratch … the sound out of Edgar Allen Poe.� ���
The characters, eating in large beautifully appointed dining rooms, work so hard at buttering, that it reverses the happy definition of the word ��toasty.� ��That lovely word that is a bouquet of �golden,� ��crispy�, �caramelized,� ��warm,� ��buttery."� Toast is a beautiful warm way to launch a day.�
Maybe the filmmakers want to show us that the meal is breakfast because the characters are eating it in such a well-appointed dining room, fully clothed.� (If I had a slew of servants, I�d wear pajamas or sweats at breakfast.) �Or, maybe the toast is some kind of metaphor showing that life was difficult, even for the wealthy who worked hard at buttering properly.� A dour way to launch into a day.
Or maybe toast is the historic note showing that electric toasters were not yet invented.� And that someone had to hold the bread over a flame until it reached the right color and consistency.� Then it was put it aside and callously left to get cold.� And since the kitchen was so far from the well-appointed dining room, the toast dried up in transit.
Toast and butter should be melded together like in a good American diner. These places keep alive the artistry of toasting.� A short order cook sets the salted butter by the side of the grill so it�s handy and easily spreadable.� When the bread pops, perfectly hot and golden, the butter is slathered evenly from crust to crust.�
But American TV can be just as ridiculous about toast, especially as shown in commercials.� The characters here somehow haven�t figured out that you can lift a slice of bread with just one hand.� The ads, designed to sell �healthy� spreads, show kids and their dads picking up their toasted bread one hand on each side, and holding it flat in front as they take a bite from the center of the edge facing them.� Okay, who eats toast like that?� And, why is Mom standing at the table smiling at her family as if they had just won the Nobel Prize?�
These mothers might think about showing the kids how to pick up, with one hand, a slice of warm, crisp toast, evenly slathered from crust to crust with healthy nut-and-cocoa spread or vitamin-infused canola butter, and take a bite.� Mom�s love sending them into the day.� ��

The track comes off the British metallers' sophomore album, "Dawn Of Reprisal", which was released in March via Metal Blade Records.According to a press release, "Dawn Of Reprisal" features "10 hammering songs leaving any metalhead worldwide nothing but satisfied with a mischievous smile on his face! Packed full of "face-melting riffs, fret-shredding guitars and a sense of groove that will stand up against any name you care to mention," "Dawn Of Reprisal" was recorded and mixed by Dan Weller and Justin Hill (ex-SIKTH) at Fortress Studios and Timeless Studios in London, and was mastered at 360 Mastering by Dick Beetham. Commented the group: "'Dawn of Reprisal' is a massive step forward for all of us as a band, and individuals. MALEFICE has matured a lot in a short space of time and one listen to this new record will show you that. We've crafted our sound into what we all missed about metal. Killer riffs, punishing drums, intense vocals and songs you can break your neck to!"

News 12 at 11 o'clock, Thursday, November 18, 2010
AUGUSTA---By now, we've all heard stories about Agent Orange and how it was sprayed on the jungles of Vietnam. What you probably don't know is that while the military used it there, they tested it at more than 30 sites in the States...including Fort Gordon.
In the Summer of '67, Fort Gordon was a very different place. Lou Krieger should know. He was training here before shipping out to Vietnam. Lou remembers a place they called Camp Crockett. It was in an isolated spot off Gibson Road near Leitner Pond, far removed from the center of the sprawling Army post.
"Camp Crockett was used for the training of pre-airborne school and also pre-special forces. Some of the guys in Crockett were there over three months," Krieger told News 12.
Soldiers who trained here also talk of a village set up to look like one you might see in Vietnam.
We're sitting at a table, covered with documents from the 1960's. Krieger has a map in front of him.
"Right about here was the actual Vietnam village, where they put you through the training, going through the village and clearing it out," Krieger said.
And that's not the only thing the Georgia Army post once had in common with Southeast Asia. While they sprayed Agent Orange over the jungles of Vietnam, they tested it here. News 12 obtained a map prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It's based on aerial pictures taken in 1967 and shows the rectangular areas where Agent Orange and other "tactical herbicides" were sprayed. There are 23 sites.
When you look at the same area today, 43 years later, you can clearly see what appears to be a massive dead zone right next to it. The area is called Training Area 47. It's at the southernmost part of Fort Gordon and only about six miles away from towns that include Wrens, Harlem and Dearing. News 12 has documents showing this spraying was done by air.
James Cripps also sprayed Fort Gordon, but he did his spraying on the ground.
"I believe the herbicide I sprayed was indeed Agent Orange," Cripps told News 12. "At the time I thought I was six or seven thousand miles away from Agent Orange."
The Tennessee veteran was a game warden at Fort Gordon who actually did the spraying around some of the lakes there.
"I remember the lakes by name. And the best I remember is I'm thinking either 13 or 14 (years old)," he said.
He's also the first person to prove to the government that he was exposed to Agent Orange, not in Vietnam, but in America. In Augusta.
Dr. Nanci McPhail has seen more than her share of veterans exposed to Agent Orange. She used to see two or three cases a week at the Augusta VA. Now it's as many as 25 a week.
"We don't want those unanswered questions lingering out there if we can help it," Dr. McPhail said.
"As far as you can tell, does Agent Orange continue to affect a victim years and years after exposure?" I asked.
"Absolutely," Dr. McPhail responded. "Research teams have gone to Vietnam in the last ten years, and they've found hot spots of dioxin in the soil, which makes you think it's in the food sources grown on that soil. So yes, it does have lingering effects."
In a room surrounded with documents, where history and mystery collide, I talked to Lou Krieger about Fort Gordon.
"You're saying only one thing remains, and that's the poison?" I asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't go away," Krieger said. "It's still hot over in Vietnam."
All of this has serious implications for Congress. Just this month, the VA began offering benefits for up to 200,000 Vietnam veterans who may now qualify for Agent Orange health care. But what about the ones who might have been exposed to dioxin here?
Senator Lindsey Graham admits there's much we don't know.
"We don't know the scope of its use," he said. "So here we are, 30 or 40 years after its use, and still finding evidence that Agent Orange was used in places we never understood before."
Sen. Graham is on the Committee for Veterans Affairs.
"I am astonished that it was being treated at Fort Gordon and we're just now knowing," he said.
Graham wants to find out more about what went on at Fort Gordon in the summer of 1967. About where it was sprayed. About who might have been exposed.
"The final chapter hasn't been written," Sen. Graham admitted. "So we need to reopen the book on Agent Orange."
Meanwhile, veterans like Lou Krieger and Patrick Burke, who was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, know the clock is ticking.
"What got you started in all this research?" I asked the men.
"Well," Krieger paused. "It's a thing called death."
"I'm 66 years old," Burke said. "What's going to happen when I reach 67--if I make it to 67?"
In the very back of a Veteran's Magazine, in a section simply called TAPS, they list the names of the dead and their ages.
"61, 57, 59," Krieger read them aloud. "This one died of Agent Orange diabetes. We're dying at over 300 a day right now."
There is some promising news to report on all of this. In addition to reopening the books on Agent Orange exposure, Sen. Graham is working to set up a walking tour of Fort Gordon to find out more about a story that was nearly forgotten. About a part of Augusta, Georgia with a very strong connection to a sad chapter in American history.
One final note about the veterans we interviewed in this News 12 Special Assignment. Two of them have been diagnosed with medical conditions related to Agent Orange exposure. Patrick Burke is still trying to prove his claim. Those conditions can include a severe skin reaction known as chloracne, diabetes, various cancers, and heart problems.

First Public Hearing on Polk School Board Budget Will Be July 30
Officials happy with the way LeRoy has handled the financial process.
Published: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 12:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 12:12 a.m.
BARTOW | The Polk County School Board will have its first public hearing on a $754.9 million general fund budget when it meets July 30.
The School Board met briefly Tuesday morning to approve how to advertise the public hearing.
Officials with the teachers' union expressed their pleasure with the way Superintendent of Schools Kathryn LeRoy has handled the budget process.
"Since Ms. LeRoy has come in, we have seen a more transparent process and we are appreciative of that," said Marianne Capoziello, president of the Polk Education Association. "Everybody wants a financially, stable district."
The board voted 5-0 on the advertisement. School Board members Kay Fields and Lori Cunningham were absent.
The only question to arise about the tentative budget came from School Board member Dick Mullenax who wanted to know whether the district is able to reach 5 percent of the general fund revenue in the district's fund balance by September when the budget receives final approval. The fund balance is a savings account to pay for emergency expenses. Although state law requires 3 percent be available, Polk County School Board policy requires 5 percent.
LeRoy said the goal won't be reached in September. However, her staff will work toward the 5 percent before the end of the new fiscal year that ends June 30, 2014. The fund balance is currently at $22.6 million, or 3.43 percent of the general fund revenue.
The budget includes a property tax rate of $7.54 per $1,000 of taxable value.
That means the owner of a home valued at $100,000 with a $25,000 homestead exemption will pay $565.50. A second $25,000 homestead exemption that a homeowner can apply to county and city taxes doesn't apply to schools.
Revenues from the state that the district receives for per-student funding increased by $665,915. That brings the total to $633.8 million.
Revenue from the state that the district receives for each student increased by $665,915, said LeRoy.
"We're very excited to have that money," she said.
The July 30 public hearing begins at 5 p.m. The final hearing on the budget will be Sept. 10 at the District's Office in Bartow.

Let me begin to say that the apartment is located in a lovely area in the upper west side of Manhattan. A very quiet area but still very close to Broadway and the metro stations (2 min walk) which takes you down to Times Square in ~10 minutes.
The kitchen was SEVERELY understocked. There were hardly no glasses or cups, only 3 wine glasses and the kitchen knives were so terrible it was not even possible to slice an onion or tomato. In the end, the kitchen was superfluous because of the lack of tools to cook. The coffee maker was a $10 Black & Decker, which was totally useless. These things were a big let down for me, as I was looking forward to cook in an otherwise great kitchen.
Apart from this, the apartment was very spacious with a lovely wooden floor and nice large bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms were a bit small, and the third was very large. The overall finish was good but the cleaning was a little bit sloppy, especially around details (e.g. taps, mirrors) in the bathroom.
When you pay that much, you expect to at least be able to dine in the apartment.
Perfect location, default ok. Sofa not good. Work well with incheck osv.tydlig info. Think it must be stated that it is distracting music and traffic
Perfekt läge, standard ok. Bäddsoffa inte bra. Fungera bra med incheck osv.tydlig info. Tycker det ska anges att det är störande musik och trafik
Great location.
Only chairs and table for four persons to eat - not eight.
Cutlery for five to six people.
Don't count on the washingmachine and dryer.
Heating/aircon of very doubtful quality.
The apartment 'excellent level both in terms of aesthetics and function.
L'appartamento e' di ottimo livello sia dal punto di vista estetico che funzionale.
Apartment clean and well located. Team reactive.
Appartement propre et bien situé. Equipe réactive.
We stayed in this spacious 3 bedroom apartment which was so convenient. The new kitchen is fabulous but does not take up much space in the big living room which includes 2 large sofas, dinning table for 6 and kitchen. The 3 bedrooms are more than adequate, in particular, the master bedroom which has an en-suite with separate bath and shower. The location is superb, close to Central Park at one end and Zabar's Deli at the other. Highly recommend this place for 7 people. 9 would be a tight squeeze.
In the end we changed a room in upper Right side, 344 on the 65st. We loved the area and the apartment, plus NYC! My pleasure cn you celebrate my birthday!
Al final nos cambiaron una habitación en upper Right side, en la 344 de la 65st. Nos encanto la zona y el apartamento, además de NYC! Ha sido un placer celebrar mi cumpleaños cn vosotros!
Welcome to the agency .2 points: apartment very well located nice and good neighborhood, close to the metro and many chauffé.Sinon poorly insulated acoustically! State just okay.
Bon accueil à l'agence.2 points positifs : appart très bien situé beau et bon quartier,à proximité du métro,et bien chauffé.Sinon mal isolé phoniquement!État juste correct.

wir wurden aber in einer besseren wohnung sofort untergebracht
die wohnung 8318 war ein traum

"I am so grateful to the program, I could never afford to weatherize my home. My heating and electric bills have gone down and my home is warm." – T. J.
This client was just one of many low income households faced with the burden of deciding whether to put food on the table or pay the heating bill. His story was one we have heard so many times. He was a 78 year old senior citizen, recently widowed in the home he purchased 50 years ago, trying to make ends meet on Social Security. Mr. J. completed a weatherization application and because he is a senior citizen it was submitted as a priority case. Thanks to the WRAP Program an energy audit was performed and determined that his house was in desperate need of weatherization. Weatherization workers immediately began making necessary energy efficient improvements that would substantially reduce his heating costs. They replaced 4 basement windows and 6 windows on the main floor of the home, added insulation to the attic and basement and replaced the hot water heater. All windows and doors were provided with caulking and weather stripping to eliminate drafts and a complete clean and tune was done on the heating system and they installed a new thermostat and a carbon monoxide detector. Additionally, all light bulbs were replaced with energy efficient bulbs and foam insulation was installed in all electric outlets.
Weatherization is an essential part of assisting families in need of home energy assistance. In order to ascertain a household's needs, WRAP staff may conduct a home assessment to identify any apparent energy-related structural deficiencies. The WRAP Coordinator identifies any immediate needs necessary and assesses any other issues related to social, health or safety problems. If repairs are needed, WRAP staff serve as a liaison with the Weatherization Assistance Provider, helping to guide clients through the service process and working with the Weatherization Provider to ensure delivery of services. Recommendations may include insulation and caulking of windows and doors, repair of broken windows, replacement of doors, repairs on the heating system or wrapping of pipes and water heaters.
Clients receive a directory outlining other agencies offering assistance with housing, home repairs, financial information, emergencies, weatherization, food pantries and crisis intervention.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, a 1982 graduate of the school, served as honorary captain for the coin toss, and a huge American flag blanketed much of the field for the national anthem.
Then fireworks shot off in the air and, later, from Keller Chryst's powerful right arm.
The Stanford-bound quarterback and a stout defense led Palo Alto to a three-touchdown cushion at halftime en route to a 28-7 victory over San Benito.
"It was a great overall win for us," said Chryst, who threw two touchdown passes and saw a third called back because of a penalty. "We had guys play hard all throughout the game."
Palo Alto, ranked fourth by the Mercury News, stalled on its first two series before it started to pull away.
After a fumble recovery gave the Vikings the ball at the San Benito 20, they needed four plays to score their first points of the season as Chryst tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to fellow captain Andrew Frick in the right flat.
Palo Alto stretched its lead to 14-0 in the second quarter when the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Chryst did what he does best. He lofted a 31-yard strike in the end zone to one of his talented receivers, Malcolm Davis.
"Andrew Frick stepped up big for us, playing both ways," Chryst said. "He played all the way to the end, and also guys like Malcolm Davis. It was a good overall team win."
San Benito's second fumble led to another Vikings touchdown. Chryst scrambled for 20 yards to the 3, and Frick scored on a 2-yard run to push Palo Alto's lead to 21-0 midway through the second quarter.
Marcus Brown's 36-yard run in the third quarter made it 28-0.
On defense, Davis knocked down a number of passes, including one at the goal line, and Connor Scheel's interception in the end zone in the fourth quarter stopped a San Benito threat.
The Haybalers scored in the closing minutes to prevent the shutout.
We did a lot of good things with a young team," Palo Alto coach Earl Hansen said, "and I think we go t better as the game went on."
Asked about Chryst, Hansen said, "He was pretty good, pretty accurate. He made some passes there that were unbelievable."
Chryst's most impressive play didn't count. Looking as he if was going to be sacked, he spun through a swarm of defenders -- one after another -- before getting free near the sideline.
He then tossed a pass to Tully McCallister, who turned and sprinted to the end zone. But a penalty negated the play.
"I just do what I've got to do," Chryst said. "I was a little disappointed. It was a great catch by Tully. We came back, though. We got the win."
Before the game, the spotlight shined on Harbaugh, who remains close to the Palo Alto program. He played quarterback under Hansen, and Hansen's son, Peter, is on Harbaugh's 49ers staff. Harbaugh's quarterbacks coach with the 49ers, Geep Chryst, is the father of the Palo Alto quarterback.
Harbaugh and Earl Hansen stood side by side during the national anthem. Earlier, Harbaugh noted that when your high school coach asks you to come out, you do so -- even 31 years later.
Hansen presented his former quarterback with an honorary plaque during the pregame ceremony.
"Coach Hansen has helped me in so many ways," Harbaugh said. "I owe a lot to him. He's a great man, a great coach."
San Benito 0 0 0 7--"7
Palo Alto 7 14 7 0 -- 28
PA -- Frick 4 pass from Chryst (Fogarty kick)
PA -- Davis 31 pass from Chryst (Fogarty kick)
PA -- Frick 2 run (Fogarty kick)
PA -- Brown 36 run (Fogarty kick)
SB -- Hicks 1 run (kick good)
Records -- Palo Alto 1-0; San Benito 1-1

How the flooding and tornadoes in the spring of 1913 stack up with recent natural disasters depends on what measures one uses.
In terms of the number of states affected, 1913's disastrous weather touched at least 19, slightly more than the number impacted by last year's hurricane and superstorm Sandy. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hammered Louisiana and Mississippi and a handful of other states, but the number of lives lost (1,800) was more than the 1913 storms and flooding (more than 1,000) and Sandy (at least 147) combined.
In terms of damage, Katrina is the costliest in U.S. history at $108 billion, according to National Hurricane Center records. Science writer Trudy E. Bell, author of "Our National Calamity," a blog outlining the 1913 flood, has estimated the total damages then - to homes, infrastructure and more - at a minimum of $300 million to $333 million.

When adjusted to current dollars using a method based on relative share of gross domestic product, that eclipses Katrina by $8 billion to $22 billion, Bell said.
"The numbers don't lie, and the numbers are (a) minimum," she said.
Bell said initial damage estimates were tremendously under-counted. In her blog, she notes two popular weekly business publications placed the tally between $50 million and $56 million, but left out some of the hardest-hit cities - like Zanesville, Indianapolis, Wheeling, W.Va., and Cairo, Ill. - because estimates simply weren't available.
Many of the organizations counting the damages had different areas of focus, Bell said. Some did not take into account the tornadoes that struck Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri and Nebraska, even though they were acknowledged as part of the same weather system, she said. Others paid attention only to particular geographical areas.
Bell came up with her preliminary estimate by comparing data from all known reports, but said that can only be considered a minimum.
"This is a floor. It's only going to get bigger than this," she said.
Bell said she initially expected Sandy, which also swept into the northeast, to be a better comparison to the 1913 flood than Katrina, but was surprised to see the official damage estimate for that storm at nearly $50 billion.
So instead, she uses Katrina, which is not only closer in terms of death and destruction but is just "so damn famous," Bell said.
Counting deaths presented similar challenges to estimating property damage for 1913.
"First, to count a death, you have to know about it," Bell writes in one of her blog posts. "Drowning in the flood or being crushed under tornado wreckage is obviously a death directly attributable to the disaster. So clearly is dying of a heart attack from terror, or succumbing to exposure after 48 hours in subfreezing temperatures on a roof or in a tree."
But some deaths that could be linked to the storms - from disease or injury caused by them - might not have happened until after official reports were published or were not reported if the individual died at home, she says.
While Katrina and Sandy might be the most familiar benchmarks for the 1913 flood on the national level, they had little or no effect in Marietta and Washington County. The nearest touchstones for the area are likely the floods of 1937, 1963 and 2004, said local weather-watcher Charlie Worsham.
The highest amount of rain on record for the month of March in Marietta is 10.24 inches, but the records for March (and April) 1913 are incomplete because the floodwaters washed away the rain gauges, Worsham said.
"There's about an 8-day span there where the records don't exist," he said.
Reports place the rainfall at the end of March 1913 at eight to 10 inches over a four-day period led to that flooding. Only one of those days remains on the record books for the rainiest days in the city's history - March 26, when 1.33 inches fell.
The single rainiest day on record for Marietta came on Sept. 17, 2004, when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan drenched the area with 4.87 inches.
"I didn't think it was ever going to quit raining that day," Worsham recalled.
Coming on the heels of leftovers from Hurricane Frances dumping 3.57 inches on Sept. 8, that precipitation contributed to the worst flooding in the city in 40 years, with the Ohio cresting at 44.97 feet. Shifting forecasts by the National Weather Service resulted in a false sense of security for many people, leading to more damage than might have been experienced if precautions had been taken in a timely fashion.

One year after a wind storm and resulting power outages demonstrated the need for an improved emergency operations center in Washington County, a new one is expected to be open.
County officials announced Thursday that $475,000 in funding will be used to renovate a portion of the offices at Washington County Family and Children Services in Marietta as the county's new Emergency Operations Center for use in times of crisis.
"It's always exciting to see things improving for citizens of the county," said County Commissioner Cora Marshall.
Originally located at the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 309 Fourth St., over the last year the county's emergency operations center was moved to the office of Washington County's EMA director Jeff Lauer at the county courthouse.
During the derecho that hit the area June 29, the county's emergency operations were moved back to an expanded
area in the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Fact Box
By the numbers
Washington County Emergency Operations Center
Funding for $475,000 project to be done through a 50/50 match: $237,500 from Washington County Commissioners; $237,500 from Ohio Emergency Management Association emergency management performance grant.
Project slated for completion June 30, 2013.
EOC will be located at Washington County Children Services, 204 Davis Ave., Marietta.
Proposed rooms in center to include executive briefing room; radio room/backup dispatch; offices for Washington County's EMA director Jeff Lauer and staff; and reception area.
"Now, if there's an emergency, we gather up totes with supplies, hook up our radios and phones and ramp up (operations)," Lauer said. Dry erase boards and large note pads filled with information were photographed for record keeping during the June storm.
Upon completion of the EOC, "We'll have computers and better record keeping," said Lauer.
"This will make it a lot quicker and easier for everybody," he added.
In order to receive the recently-awarded $237,500 emergency management performance grant from the Ohio Emergency Management Association, to match the $237,500 provided by the Washington County Commissioners, the building that housed the EOC had to meet certain building code criteria, be out of the flood plain and have backup power with on-site fuel.
Of 25 such grant applications received by the Ohio EMA in 2013, Washington County was one of only 14 applications to be fully funded, said Nancy Dragani, Ohio EMA's executive director.
"(The flood plain requirement) was a challenge for Washington County because we're surrounded by rivers and creeks," said Marshall.
All the state's requirements were met at the Children Services' facility at 204 Davis Ave., according to Lauer.
What's more, the address is a convenient gathering spot for first responders.
"It's a good, central location...that will keep everybody better informed," said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Construction costs for the county's EOC will be kept lower thanks to the layout of the Children Services' building.
"It will all be interior construction," said Lauer. "We may have to make a few modifications to the unfinished parts, like partitions for the center's rooms."
At present, the EOC is expected to include a reception area, director's office, staff office, executive briefing room and radio room/backup dispatch.
The center will also feature an open area where first responders can enter and quickly assess the current status of emergency operations "so they can hit the ground running," said Eric Skomra, county information technology director.
When not in use for county, city, village, township or industrial emergencies, the EOC site will serve as a shared training facility for future emergencies.
"It is not a one-agency building," Lauer said. "It is a building for all to come to and work together."
According to Skomra, if the EOC were only used for emergencies, "It wouldn't stay up to date."
Completion of phase one of the EOC project will be "fast paced," said Lauer.
Next in the time line for the project will be a state-required environmental hazard analysis and interviews to find an architectural firm to facilitate the process of putting a design and cost structure in place, Skomra said.
Different, alternative EOC locations will continue to be available in Washington County.
"You always have to have a backup plan. If there's an incident on Davis Avenue, we may have to set up somewhere else," Lauer said.
The projected completion date for phase one renovations is June 30.
A future phase will include the acquisition of permanent equipment for the EOC.
The map that showed the layout of EOC also included an area of the Children Services' building marked "Board of Elections."
According to Marshall, that location is "under consideration" as a possible relocation for the county's board of elections.
Approval for such a move would have to be granted by the Washington County Commissioners, she added.

Kissinger, Bloomberg Honor IRC at Freedom Award Dinner
The annual Freedom Award Dinner was held last night by the International Rescue Committee, an organization that provides relief to refugees in more than 40 countries. The event raised $4 million.
Last night, the organization honored John C. Whitehead, a longtime New Yorker who has served on the IRC board since 1979.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked off the dinner with a joke that the audience was probably feeling disappointed he didn't bring along his sign language interpreter (a reference to Lydia Callis, who has gained attention for her animated appearances during the Mayor's speeches on Hurricane Sandy). Bloomberg thanked Whitehead for being a great New Yorker, including his support of the building of the September 11 Memorial (he is a board member of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation).
Whitehead is no stranger to the award, having received it 25 years ago when he was Deputy Secretary of State.
Actress and playwright Anna Deveare Smith ("Nurse Jackie") also spoke, sharing her travels to Haiti with the organization. She brought Afghani refugee Sadar Adish up to speak. The IRC helped bring Adish and her family to the U.S. and get them settled. Since then, she has gone back to Afghanistan to help build an emergency department at a Kabul maternity hospital through the organization.
Chef David Burke also shared some words at the event. He's involved with the IRC through an initiative called "New Roots" which helps refugees adjust to their new lives in the U.S. by giving them land to farm. Under the initiative, the first African peanuts were planted in the Bronx. Also, a refugee from Burma, Ah Lun, is now working in one of Chef Burke's restaurants as a cook. Ah Lun has dreams of opening his own restaurant and his soup has already appeared on a Burke menu.
After Whitehead provided remarks about his beloved charity, he introduced a surprise speaker: Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Although he's not often one to talk about his personal life, Kissinger shared a memory of an essay he wrote in high school about coming to the U.S. as a refugee from Germany. In his essay, he wrote that although he missed the people he had to leave behind, in the U.S., he was happy that he could walk on the street with his head erect. He added, "That is the dominant theme America has brought to many refugees."
Closing the night was Telemundo sensation Jencarlos Canela, who performed two songs. Canela's father was a refugee from Cuba and he has been part of the IRC family for nearly two years, including volunteering with the IRC's refugee resettlement program in Miami.

United Way of McPherson County is working to build a stronger community by addressing issues related to health, education and income. We believe conversations and intensive listening are the best ways to understand the real problems and move beyond short-term solutions. Community change can be accomplished through broad participation and collaboration. We encourage McPherson County residents to be involved with their community through giving, advocating and volunteering. By working together we can make a larger impact on the issues at hand.
Though the Christmas holidays are behind us, we have just begun celebrating with extended family. My brother-in-law and his partner arrived last evening from California and brought us the traditional gift of California citrus. This year they showered us with over 50 mandarin oranges, picked from a neighbor's tree!
If we are fortunate to see our California relatives during the winter months, we are often blessed with blood oranges, lemons and/or mandarin oranges. The fruits are in season during this time and the gift is well received in our home where parents and children delight in fresh citrus.
Fruit picked from the tree is so much more juicy and flavorful than the ones you purchase at the supermarket. And it's good to know there aren't any pesticides or wax coatings applied to our organic Christmas gift. Next to a bottle of wine, the best gift you can give me is fresh citrus!

BASALT - Battle Mountain soccer is officially on the brink.
The Huskies blanked Basalt, 3-0, Saturday to move to 14-0 in 2012. They are one win away from a perfect regular season, something no boys soccer team has done has done in school history. (The ladies did it in 2008.) Battle Mountain goes for No. 15 Thursday in Edwards against Eagle Valley at 6 p.m.
"We talked about it after the game," Huskies coach David Cope said. "'You have the chance to something that we've never done on the boys' side. And we've got an exciting chance to do it against Eagle Valley at home.'"
The Huskies took care of Basalt with a reconfigured lineup and the reappearance of Heivan Garcia.
Gunnar Wilson had a throw-in 23 minutes into the first half. Alex Trujillo was on the other end of it and gave the Huskies' a 1-0 lead.
Garcia hasn't gone anywhere - he's played all season - but he showed the talent he possesses that makes the Huskies coaching staff shake its collective head in wonder and frustration simultaneously.
Battle Mountain scored on a brilliant counterattack that started with goalie Christian Espinoza getting the ball up to Wilson, who laid it off to Garcia. The senior crushed the ball of the outside of his left foot and the shot found the perfect spot in the left corner for a stunning goal.
Garcia iced the game with his second goal Saturday on a nice feed from Roberto Diaz.
The reason Garcia is such a puzzle to for the Huskies is that this isn't the first time he has showed the type of brilliance on his first goal. He's had big goals in games against big opponents like Steamboat Springs and Cheyenne Mountain during his career, and he did some things in last year's second-round playoff game against Sand Creek which will go down in Battle Mountain lore forever.
There are also times when Garcia seems totally out of flow with the game and somewhat uninterested.
"Heivan is a scorer of great goals, not a great goal scorer," Cope said. "He's not a poacher who will have 15-20 goals at the end of the season, but he scores some spectacular goals. We have to find a place for him. You can see us winning a playoff game, 1-0, on a goal from him."
Battle Mountain will need Espinoza at his usual best. The senior goalie got another shutout Saturday - his fifth of the season. He's allowed just five goals all season, and only two from the run of play in 14 games.
Wilson did a nice job moving up in the attack with senior Kevin Gillie replacing him in back. Cope made the move because he is resting Joe LyBarger, who hurt his hip flexor in last week's game at Summit County. While the Huskies scored nine goals without LyBarger in two game, Battle Mountain definitely wants its leading offensive threat at 100 percent for the playoffs.
Cope upgraded LyBarger from "day-to-day" to "probable" for Eagle Valley Thursday night.

Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Two local hospitals are saying the state got it wrong.
Both Doctors Hospital and University Hospital are appealing the decision to deny a free-standing emergency room in Columbia County.
A 21-page report explains the state's decision to deny the request, but the hospitals aren't giving up.
Doctors Hospital filed its formal appeal with the Department of Community Health this past Friday. VP of Legal Affairs Ed Burr says University Hospital filed theirs shortly after.
Now they wait for the state to appoint a judge. When they do, they'll have a hearing.
Hospital representatives say that probably won't happen for another six months.
Until then, they say they'll be gathering evidence, something they hope will change the state's mind.
"The state's position is that people from Columbia County are making it to the emergency departments at University and Doctors. We believe people that are desperately ill have access to care. But it's not the care they want," Burr said.
Burr says the overcrowding in the ERs in this area will become undeniable. He says the ER at University sees about 80,000 patients a year, about 10 percent of those coming from Columbia County. That's the eighth highest in the state.
He says they will have to expand somewhere, and they hope it will be in the form of an emergency room in Columbia County.
He says he knows it's a long shot, but they'll be looking at current free-standing ERs as a model to try to get some patterns of usage.
They say they hope that information will prove to the state an ER in Columbia County actually will be used by the people there.
Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- Columbia County will not be getting a new emergency room.
Doctors Hospital's application to build a free-standing emergency room was denied on Friday.
CEO Doug Welch released the following statement:
"As the first to recognize the need for emergency care in Columbia County and the first to apply for a Free Standing Emergency Room, we're certainly disappointed in the department's decision to deny our application.
We were looking forward to bringing emergency care closer to the people of Columbia County. We understand that the time to reach health care providers is essential in an emergent situation.
Further, we were eager to make a sizable financial investment in Columbia County, to add to the county's employment and to significantly contribute to the tax base.
As part of the Hospital Corporation of American (HCA), Doctors Hospital has experience with developing and executing FSERs. Our company currently has 24 such facilities operating throughout the country with seven more currently being built. I personally opened a location while CEO of a hospital in Texas and I know firsthand what a great community benefit it is.
At this point, we will reevaluate our options and meet with community leaders to determine how to proceed."
The company plans to meet with city leaders this week to find out how to proceed.
