Deerman's Turns to Highlands Digital Media for Menu Reboot [1]
Read More About
Highlands Digital Media, a provider of digital menuboards, digital retail signage solutions, and digital place-based advertising networks, was selected by Deerman's BBQ to roll out a digital menuboard solution for its Adamsville, Alabama, restaurant.
Deerman's slogan is "Serving You Since '82," and the digital menuboard (DMB) installation coincided with its 30th anniversary. The DMB solution was installed in October 2012 and owner Chris Lawrence says the results have been great.
"We've had nothing but positive results," he adds. "They have made a big impact on our customers, and the items we have featured on the boards have seen a substantial increase in sales. It works better than any other solution we looked at for our restaurant."
Deerman's contracted with Highlands Digital Media to design, install, and manage the full solution for the concept. The creative for the menuboards was designed to match the look and feel of the restaurant's interior.
"When we design a menuboard solution, we want the creative piece to complement the restaurant's atmosphere and enhance the customer's experience while they are on site," says Chuck Adams, president of Highlands Digital Media.
"Today's restaurant owners are looking for menuboard solutions that are visually appealing to customers and can provide a positive dining experience," Adams continues. "They also want a solution that offers better pricing flexibility, lowers the cost of making menu/price changes, offers improved operational efficiency, helps promote their high value brands, and provides a great ROI. The search for this type of solution is fueling an explosion in digital menuboards as they replace traditional menuboards."

MARIETTA - A chance to get up close and personal with some state and local candidates is the idea behind a series of elections forums, the first of which is set for today.
Three forums, organized by the Marietta/Washington County League of Women Voters, The Marietta Times, The Anchor and Marietta College, will give the public a chance to ask and candidates a chance to answer.
"The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan group and our purpose is to educate voters," said League member Betsy Cook. "We want to be able to answer any questions about candidates, and state and local issues so people aren't surprised when they see their ballot."
The first debate will be today at 7 p.m. featuring the Ohio Legislative debates between incumbent Debbie Phillips (D), and Charles Richter (R), both vying for Ohio House District 94, and incumbent Andy Thompson (R) and Charlie Daniels, running for Ohio House District 95. Community members are encouraged to attend and to submit questions for the candidates in advance.
A second legislative forum is planned for Sept. 24, between U.S. Congress candidates Charlie Wilson (D) and Bill Johnson (R) and Ohio Senate candidates Lou Gentile (D) and Shane Thompson (R). That will also be at 7 p.m. in the McDonough Auditorium.
A third event will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 and televised live from the Marietta College studio. The debates will be between Larry Mincks and Chris Forshey, candidates for sheriff; candidates for county commissioner Cora Marshall, Ron Feathers, David White and Peg Littler; and will allow statements from the candidates for common pleas court judge, Mark Kerenyi and Randall Burnworth.
As far as Daniels is concerned, the debates are one of his favorite aspects of campaigning.
"I didn't anticipate that I would, but I love these types of events," he said. "These venues are a great way for the public to get out and meet the candidates and, more importantly, to know the differences between the candidates."
Daniels, of St. Clairsville, and his opponent, Thompson, of Marietta, have had the opportunity to debate during the March primary.
"The nerves kind of ended after that," Daniels said. "Either you know your material or you don't."
Thompson agrees that candidate forums are good for sorting out what each candidate represents.
"For the people who are undecided, it is helpful to learn what each of our plans are," he said. "I've done these types of things several times on city council and in my last race. I'm pleased to talk about what I've accomplished."
Thompson added that he feels the forums will be conducted professionally and hopes that it won't turn into a shouting match.
"I just ask that people be respectful and not turn it into a personal attack (on a candidate)," he said.
Suzanne Walker, professor of communications at Marietta College and moderator for the event, said the audience, including, she hopes, Marietta College students, will simply be spectators for the debates and questions will be submitted ahead of time.
"There is no open question and answer time and the candidates are usually very respectful of each other," she said, adding that the only time something really unexpected happened at past events was in 2004 when former hostage Terry Anderson, running against Joy Padgett for Ohio Senate, refused to answer a question and walked off the stage.
Each candidate will be given the opportunity to field a question for 90 seconds and the opponent will have the same time for rebuttal. The first candidate will then have 30 seconds to respond. First questions will rotate between candidates, who will also have two minutes to make a final statement.
Phillips, of Athens, said she is eager to attend the event for the first time.
Due to reworking of the Ohio House districts, Phillips, who once represented the 92nd district, will now represent the 94th district, which will include more of Washington County and wards one, two and four in the city of Marietta. State Issue 2 will determine whether or not the drawing of legislative district lines can be left up to a state-funded commission.
The state issues, as well as local ballot issues will also be discussed at the forums.
"I look at (the forums) as a way to introduce myself to people who may not know me," Phillips said. "I just try to focus on what I am currently working on (in office) and my accessibility to my constituents."
Her opponent, Richter, of Little Hocking, said he anticipates many of the questions will stem from concerns in the community, such as fracking, support of small business, jobs and the economy and education.
"I am trying to get my message out about being a small business owner and my work ethic," he said. "I think if you're going to talk the talk, you need to walk the walk."
The redistricting line, Richter said, would possibly work to his advantage in this election.
"I have already started to get my name out in Marietta, Belpre and Warren areas (running previously for county commissioner)," he said. "If we still had Morgan County, which we lost, I didn't know anyone. So I think this makes it even."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, March 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- One of the greenest holidays is quickly approaching.
"It is St. Patrick's Day, this is a drunken, happy holiday," said Patricia Hubbard, bar manager at Blue Sky Kitchen.
And it is one of the deadliest holidays for drivers on the road.
"There's no reason for you to drink six beers and 10 shots and think you're gonna be OK behind the wheel," Hubbard said.
It's Hubbard's first St. Patty's Weekend in Augusta, and she already has a game plan.
"I just tell my servers to stop serving, if we can ask for assistance, they want, you know, call a cab or call a friend for them," Hubbard said.
But when the bottles pop and shots are poured, the cops will be there, waiting and watching.
Lt. Ramone Lampkins with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office will be patrolling this weekend.
"Downtown will probably be an area of concern," he told News 12. "You see cars being pulled over, it's gonna make you think twice about drinking and driving, get you a cab, get somebody to come pick you up."
Operation Thunder is still in effect, cracking down on drunken drivers, but this weekend, cops will be out in full force.
Last year's St. Patty's Day celebration brought in 34 DUIs. In 2011, 20 were recorded.
Lampkins says he wants those numbers to drop.
"It's gonna be full force, we're gonna have a full force of people down here, there will be a strong police presence," Lampkins said.
And bar workers like Hubbard are thankful for the help.
"That helps us out with the St. Patrick's Day, to have people be a little bit safer, a little more conscious about the cops being out," Hubbard said.
She says noticing the signs can make all the difference in a life lost or a live saved.
"Stumbling, slurring words, just, you know, even being obnoxious, just out of control, really keep your eyes open," Hubbard said.

Philippine Puzzle Queen Crowned by Guinness
In the mountain resort of Tagaytay City, overlooking the world's smallest active volcano, Georgina Gina Gil Lacuna holds court in the Puzzle Mansion, a bed-and-breakfast inn where she keeps more than 1,000 jigsaw puzzles – all completed by her over a little more than a quarter-century.
Ms. Lacuna, whose puzzles are on display at the inn, now holds a rare honor: crowned the Guinness World Records holder last week for the world's largest collection of jigsaw puzzles.
The start of her penchant for puzzles had simple beginnings, assembling her first puzzle for her son Gino, now 28, when he was just 2 – a somewhat ambitious project for a toddler since it was a 5, 000-piece Disney set. It was a diversion from her occupation at the time as an entrepreneur selling hand-made bags and ready-to-wear clothes.
"I started doing puzzles when I visited Hong Kong 26 years ago," said Ms. Lacuna, 61, who bought her first three puzzles from a Sogo department store in Causeway Bay. "Later on, I began buying puzzles from souvenir shops or bookstores whenever I travel."
Since then, Ms. Lacuna's daily routine has involved piecing together a puzzle – or five. She has completed 1, 030, comfortably surpassing the previous record held by Luiza Figuerreido of Brazil, whose 238 puzzles held the last Guinness world record as the world's largest collection.
Ms. Lacuna is among the handful of Guinness record holders from the Philippines, but that may not be her only crown. By the time she finishes her puzzle of Keith Haring's Double Retrospect in February, Guinness will bestow upon her the record for building the biggest jigsaw puzzle in existence in the world. The puzzle has 32,000 puzzle pieces and is 17 feet long and 6 feet wide. About one-eighth of the puzzle has been completed.
Not all of Ms. Lacuna's puzzles feature world-renowned artists like Mr. Haring. Others range from simple cartoon characters to paintings and even 3D puzzles. Her works, which range from mural-sized classic paintings and custom-made photos to toy-like wooden figures and miniature replicas of cities, are now displayed as a main attraction at Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast. She can build about two 500-piece puzzles in a day, and takes a night to finish a 1,000-piece puzzle.
"If the puzzles have only 300 pieces, I am able to finish five of them in one day," she said.
For Ms. Lacuna, her puzzle-making is a form of artistic appreciation, collecting jigsaws of classic paintings in her travels throughout the years.
"I have this fascination for paintings from the moment I saw them first hand in museums like The Louvre in Paris and The State Hermitage in Russia. My puzzles on these allow me to show my appreciation in a different form of arts," she explains.
Her dream puzzle is Bosch: The Garden of Earthly Delights, an ambitious 9,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. "The first time I did the Earthly Delights I did not know how to protect the puzzle so it faded. I ordered it again. I want to finish it so that I could see the original painting of Bosch," she said.
Even as she holds on to her Guinness world record, Ms. Lacuna's collection keeps growing. She hopes to soon piece together puzzles she has collected but keeps in storage – all 600 of them.
Seyda Subasi Gemici, Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Representative of Turkey, who is on her fifth assignment for Guinness in the Philippines verifying the legitimacy of the record holders, is impressed most by Ms. Lacuna's discipline.
"Each piece is amazing. It takes so much patience to put it all together. She is a very disciplined lady. Every day, she spends so much hours in assembling the puzzles. If you look from far away, her puzzles are similar to paintings," Ms. Gemici said.
For all the time she spends on jigsaws, her family – which runs a business manufacturing maternity clothes – does not seem to mind.
"It takes her stress away from our family's business [and] keeps her mind sharp," said Gino, her only child.
But for Ms. Lacuna, her motivations – besides her love for puzzles, of course – has as much to do with promoting her city and country.
"More than setting or beating a record, what I really want is to be able to give our country and Tagaytay's tourism a boost through these puzzles that I put together," Ms. Lacuna says.
"It is more fun to do puzzles in the Philippines," said Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham Tolentino, who was present at the awarding ceremony last week, referencing a recent tourism campaign for the Southeast Asian country. Mr. Tolentino hopes the Guinness recognition will help draw more tourists to his city, which already attracts 200, 000 visitors weekly.
Gina Gil Lacuna's puzzle collection is on view daily at the Puzzle Mansion, Cuadra Street, Barangay Asisan, Tagaytay City, from 8 A.M. – 7 P.M.

September 19, 2005
Some parents in Columbia County are still pushing for a later start date for schools. Some people think students are better off taking their final exams before the break.
Teacher Mary Stout likes the schedule the way it is.
"I really think it's more beneficial to the students if they finish their exams before the Christmas break," Stout said.
That's how it is now. But parent Lynn Gilmore disagrees.
"It makes a lot of sense to change to a traditional calendar," Gilmore said.
Her group, "Columbia County Parents," sent out an independent survey to parents about the school calendar.
"We're very excited that the board wants to do their own survey, we want to be very involved in that," Gilmore said.
School Superintendent Tommy Price says they may reconsider the way they are doing it now.
"We all agreed that it's probably time to reaffirm the majority feelings of our parents," Price said.
The school calendar will stay the same for now, but it may change for the 2007 school year. Superintendent Price says they will put together a committee to look at the calendar again. Some parents think this will give the students a break to absorb the material before finals. But Mary Stout likes it the way it is now.
"Because the school is the way it is now, they do have breaks throughout the semester before the final exam," Stout said.
Parents will be able to give their input when the official survey goes out. Another part of the argument is about money. Representative Joe Wilkinson from Atlanta is pushing a bill that will make all Georgia schools start in late August. He says starting early is costing Georgia tourism $2.4 billion each year. He also says when a school in Tulsa went to the traditional calendar, they saved $500,000 in the first week.
This bill has not done well so far, but Representative Wilkinson plans to reintroduce it in January.

Here, Hustle was all about interspersing quiet, character-developing moments with bombast and showmanship. This was fine for a while, but the movie took forever to get going. By the time the plot actually developed, and I really started to care, was about 1:45 with about a half hour to go. The plot was just far too plodding, which I think was a big mistake. At least 20 minutes could have been cut from this bad boy. It didn't help that Silver Linings Playbook was waaaaaaay better.

Spartanburg man accused of striking roommate with sledgehammer, cutting him with machete
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 11:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 11:07 a.m.
Officers are looking for a Spartanburg man accused of beating his roommate with a sledgehammer and then cutting him with a machete Monday night.
According to a written statement from the Spartanburg Public Safety Department, an arrest warrant has been obtained for Ricky Lee White, 21, of 177 W. Wood St., accusing him of attempted murder.
At about 6:15 p.m. Monday, officers responded to the West Wood Street home in reference to an assault. After the victim was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment, he told an officer that he was lying on the couch when White struck him with the sledgehammer several times in the chest, according to an incident report.
White is then accused of grabbing a machete and cutting the victim multiple times. According to the report, the victim was able to wrestle the machete away from White and throw it toward a door, and when White went to the kitchen to get another knife, the victim ran out the front door.
Police said a verbal argument preceded the attack and that both men live together but are not related.
The victim received seven staples in his head, and his arm was placed in a sling. He was released from the hospital early Tuesday morning.

If you're driving through Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in southwestern Colorado, don't miss a sweet little ruin down a mile of dirt road off Road 10. (It's not too far outside of Hovenweep National Monument, another enchanting site for prehistoric ruins in the Four Corners area.
My husband, Ken, and I bumped down the road (it can be a little rough) until we found the Painted Hand Pueblo trail leading to a lovely 13th-century Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) tower gracefully perched over the canyon.
We parked and then took the short ¼-mile hike. The beginning is easy, leading through piñon and juniper forest. Scrambling down the banded sandstone to reach the tower's base was more challenging (I was glad to have sturdy hiking boots!). However, the view of the stacked-brick tower beckoned. As we explored and enjoyed the tower, it was Ken who found and pointed out the faint shape of three white hands painted on rock—the reason for the ruins' name. The lonely call of a hawk overhead got me wondering about the long-ago artist who left handprints handprint on this peaceful valley.
What's There
Painted Hand has interpretive signs and brochures at its trailhead. There's no water or toilets—and the road is rough. (We made it in our Toyota Camry, but if the roads are muddy, you might need a four-wheel drive.)

The Black Keys, the Zac Brown Band and the Grateful Dead spin-off Furthur will help launch a major new music festival in the Bay Area this spring.
In all, the inaugural BottleRock Napa Valley is scheduled to feature more than 50 artists on multiple stages May 9-12 in downtown Napa. Other top-name acts scheduled to appear during the four-day festival include the Shins, the Black Crowes, Ben Harper, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Alabama Shakes and Primus. Talk about an ambitious Year One bill.
"The lineup speaks for itself," says BottleRock Co-Founder Gabriel Meyers. "We don't have much hip-hop or electronic music.
"This is rock 'n' roll in the Garden of Eden — Napa Valley."
Tickets for the festival, which is intended to be an annual affair, officially go on sale to the general public on Feb. 10, with prices ranging from $299 (three-day festival pass) to $599 (VIP four-day ticket). There are, however, several pre-sale opportunities. Napa Valley residents and artist fan club members can score ducats early, from Sunday-Feb. 9. Also, to celebrate the Red and Gold's return to the Super Bowl, special "Friends of the 49ers" passes are being sold, starting at a discounted rate of $249 from Sunday-Feb. 9. (Note: You don't have to prove you're a 49er "Friend" to take advantage of this pre-sale opportunity.) Passes can be purchased at www.bottlerocknapavalley.com.
Organizers expect the setting to as a potent a draw as the lineup. The music will be played across four stages at the 26-acre Napa Valley Expo, which is located near the heart of downtown Napa, as well as at the city's Uptown Theatre. Those locations will provide attendees, which could number as high as 30,000-35,000, plenty of opportunities to sample all that downtown Napa has to offer.
"In about a one mile radius, there is about 100 restaurants and tasting rooms," Meyers says. "It's a killer festival for connoisseurs."
Festival doors will open each day at noon, with the tunes running from 12:30 p.m. until well into the evening. The event will also comedic acts as well as culinary and wine elements.
After the main festival grounds close down each night, there will be several after-show events taking place at various restaurants, art galleries and wine tasting rooms in Napa's popular Oxbow District, Restaurant Row and West End, all of which are within a four-block radius from the Expo.
The festival is being produced by two local companies — Will Power Entertainment, which has long specialized in putting on concerts that benefit the fight against autism, and Deville Enterprises. Will Power and Deville are going it alone, without the help of any of the big players in the festival game, such as Berkeley's Another Planet Entertainment (which puts on San Francisco's annual Outside Lands) and Goldenvoice (the promoters of Southern California's mammoth Coachella festival).
"If we can, we'd like to stay independent for as long as we can," says Will Power's Meyers. "Most people say, 'You'll never make money in a Year One festival.' And that may be true."
Still, organizers didn't hold back when it came to picking the lineup. They went after the Grammy-nominated Black Keys and the Zac Brown Band, both of whom have no problem filling arenas on their own, and then rounded out the bill with a ton of other acts that can headline major auditoriums and clubs. Besides those acts previously mentioned, the festival will also feature Dwight Yoakam, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cake, Flaming Lips, Bad Religion, Mavis Staples, the Wallflowers, ALO, Donavon Frankenreiter, Charlie Musselwhite, Tristan Prettyman, Allen Stone, Blues Traveler, Brandi Carlile and Cafe Tacuba.
There will also be a pre-festival/kick-off concert on May 8 at the Uptown featuring the blistering hot hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, an act currently lighting up the airwaves with the hit "Thrift Shop." Information on that show is also available on the festival's website, www.bottlerocknapavalley.com.
Organizers hope to donate "a significant portion" of the net proceeds from the festival to autism causes.

Lew Wolff, the A's co-owner, is in New York for the team's series against the Yankees and visited the set of Bloomberg News television Wednesday morning for an interview.
I'll give credit to the network hosts for asking all the right questions about the A's business and ballpark situation. But in responding, Wolff didn't offer up any massive new information. The closest thing to a scoop was Wolff's statement that the team and Oakland are close to signing a 10-year lease extension at the Coliseum, something the A's have been seeking for a while.
That has been well reported here and elsewhere. Wolff said there have been "very good conversations" with representatives of the Joint Powers Authority that operates the Coliseum complex and an agreement could be reached in "the next couple of weeks," pending approval of all parties.
"We're close enough on the deal points that I think we'll soon come to a mutual accommodation," Wolff said.
None of it means anything, of course, until that deal is actually signed. But because Wolff uttered those words on a network show out of New York, the story developed some legs.
But before anyone asks: Even if the A's do sign this agreement with Oakland, that does not mean Wolff's interest in moving his team to San Jose is dead. And it doesn't mean that the San Jose ballpark project is a dead issue for Wolff and co-owner John Fisher.
Because actually, Wolff was sort of asked that question on the Bloomberg show and declined to draw any conclusions about where the A's will eventually land in the long run.
"It'll be a 10-year lease and we'll find out what happens during all that," Wolff said when it was suggested that such a deal settled things in terms of Oakland and San Jose. "I just don't know."
The reason he doesn't know is because he still doesn't know what Oakland wants to do in terms of its ballpark/stadium problem with the Raiders and the A's, who share the Coliseum. Oakland still has not come up with a suitable new ballpark proposal, with Major League Baseball and the A's rejecting plans at downtown's Howard Terminal and the Coliseum City project still having a major "funding gap," according to a city official.
We might get some clues about all this, however, when the lease extension is signed and its terms are revealed. Here's why:
The A's lease runs out after the 2015 season. But last autumn, they requested a 10-year extension so that they could invest in scoreboard and other improvements at the Coliseum and write off those improvements over a 10-year period, likely for tax purposes.
Oakland has resisted such an extension, however, because it is also dealing with the Raiders' request for a new football-only stadium. Mark Davis, the Raiders' owner, is on record as saying he wants the structure to be built on the site of the Coliseum, which would have to be demolished.
But if the A's have a lease to play there for 10 years, it would obviously be difficult to tear down the facility. Anticipating this, the A's have asked for an "out" clause in their 10-year lease extension that would allow them to walk if the Raiders and Oakland reach an agreement on a new stadium under Davis' terms.
Also, the financial obligations of the A's under their requested terms are so minimal that the team could buy out the lease with relative ease after five or six years. And it takes five years to develop and construct a new ballpark project, anywhere.
Oakland initially objected to all those terms. That was the hangup in getting a deal done. So what happened to change things? Have Oakland, Alameda County and the Joint Powers Authority suddenly backed down and given the A's what they want? Or has there been some sort of compromise? We'll discover the answers when the lease is signed.
A lease extension is good news for A's fans and all Bay Area baseball fans, because it means the team won't be leaving. Plus, Oakland has finally wised up and realized that it's better to have the A's sign some form of lease extension rather than no lease extension. But how will the Raiders respond? Does this mean Oakland has decided to put the NFL team on the back burner or let it pursue a new stadium elsewhere?
There are so many moving parts to all this.
This week, the San Jose lawsuit against Major League Baseball received a court date with a scheduled appeal hearing on Aug. 12 in U.S. District Court. San Jose's suit challenges the sport's anti-trust exemption that allows the Giants to claim territorial rights over Santa Clara County. If San Jose wins the right to pursue the case, that could open a big box of untold developments.
Also, the San Jose mayoral primary was held Tuesday with good results for baseball fans. Dave Cortese and Sam Liccardo emerged from a large field as the two candidates who will face off in the fall election. Cortese and Liccardo have been supportive of the San Jose downtown ballpark plan.
Madison Nguyen, who finished just out of the top two, had been a supporter of the San Jose Giants franchise, which is owned by the San Francisco Giants and has fought the A's move to San Jose. Municipal Stadium, where the San Jose Giants play, is located within Nguyen's council district. It made sense that she would have a good relationship with them and accept their contributions. But it was unclear how that relationship would play out if Nguyen had been elected mayor and the Giants kept fighting an A's move.
The election of Cortese or Liccardo means that a downtown San Jose ballpark project will have a supporter at City Hall, continuing the policy of Mayor Chuck Reed in that regard.
And in Oakland, Mayor Jean Quan is up for re-election. Not sure how the ballpark/stadium issues will play into that campaign. But it's bound to come up in any debates. Quan has been all over the place in her stances about the A's and Raiders.
Finally, Wolff's interview with Bloomberg contained a few other little nuggets that might have slipped the attention of the New York hosts. One was his statement that he'd still like to negotiate a settlement with the Giants over territorial rights rather than have the San Jose lawsuit resolve the matter.
Another was Wolff's affirmation that he and Fisher have no plans whatsoever to sell the A's, saying that "we'd like keep the team in the families that own it." And finally, there was a not-so-subtle indirect dig at the Giants when Wolff declared that he is of the philosophy that team owners should "put baseball first and their teams a close second."
The implication: If the Giants put baseball first instead of themselves, they would find a way for the A's to thrive with a new ballpark in San Jose.

Triple-Citrus Ginger Sablefish (black cod)
Triple-Citrus Ginger Sablefish (black cod)
Created and presented by Rebecca Katz
One Vital Choice customer called wild Alaskan sablefish the chocolate of fish, for good reason.
Its ravishing richness stems from the ample body fat that sablefish (AKA black cod or butterfish) accumulate to survive their frigid, deep-water environments.
Sablefish is very high in omega-3s, with each 4 oz portion averaging a whopping 1.6 gramsmore than most wild salmon!
Serves 4
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon
organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
Zest of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Pinch cayenne
4 (4-ounce each)
Vital Choice sablefish portions
, bones removed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Fresh flat-leaf parsley and mint, coarsely chopped (garnish)
In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the orange
juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive (or macadamia nut) oil, orange zest, lemon zest, ginger, and cayenne.
Place the sablefish in a baking dish and season each piece with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Pour half of the orange juice mixture over the sablefish and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Remove the sablefish from the refrigerator, uncover, and add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish. Bake just until the fillets are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each fillet registers 137°F; it will take 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining orange juice mixture and the mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
Pour the reduction over the fillets, sprinkle with the parsley and mint, and serve immediately.

UCB: new pilot plant in Belgium
18.09.2012 - UCB S.A. has officially opened the doors to a new pilot biotech plant at its Braine-L'Alleud site in Belgium.
The Brussels-based drugmaker has invested more than €65m into the project, which was supported by the Walloon region. The 5,100 square meter facility is currently undergoing a validation phase. After becoming fully operational in the course of 2013, the first four bioreactors with a total volume of 3,200 litres will start to produce cell culture-based therapeutic proteins for UCB's research pipeline and clinical trials. At the same time, manufacturing processes will be designed and optimised to move from development to full scale industrial production. The facility will include integrated laboratories and additional infrastructure to house 100 staff.
"Today, 33% of drugs for human use worldwide are of biotechnological origin and represent more than half of UCB's current R&D pipeline", stated Roch Doliveux, CEO of UCB. "With this bio pilot plant, we can more rapidly initiate clinical studies of new antibody-based therapeutics that are addressing serious unmet medical needs."
UCB is currently heavily investing to push its production capabilities. Just last year, the Belgian company also initiated a project to build in-house biotech microbial manufacturing capacity in Bulle, Switzerland. The new manufacturing unit is expected to become operational in 2015 and requires an investment of €250m.

The company's business model is good one. Even though I make fun of every aspect of the gym they will continue to make money from their customers. The niche market they are after is basically the same people that join a gym every new years go or a month then quit. This gym goes after the people that want to waste time at a gym doing little weight little effort.
Being fit doesn't require just going to the gym it requires you to change your whole life style.

"Marley was dead to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that ... Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail ... "
Don't ask me how it happened, but over the years I've become something of an expert when it comes to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It's certainly not because I've studied the literary version (have you seen how many pages that thing is!?!). No, I got my fill of Dickens when Great Expectations was required reading in sophomore English class (uh, please no one tell Mr. Bradburn that I only read the Cliff Notes ... though, judging by my grade, I think maybe he knew).
Maybe it's because I've watched every single film and television version of the classic tale over the last 55 years or so, and also caught a stage version or two.
I've watched the classics with Reginald Owen and Alastair Sim, the TV versions with George C. Scott and Susan Lucci, and even the one with Mister Magoo and Bill Murray's Scrooged. I also watched a performance at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts with John Carradine portraying the stingy ol' miser.
So, yeah, I guess you could call me sort of an expert. Maybe that's why I had such great expectations (ooh, sorry about that) when Natalie and I went to the San Jose Repertory Theater last week to see what artistic director Rick Lombardo's version would be like.
The first thing we noticed when we were handed the play program was a line on the bottom of the front cover: "Original music by Anna Lackaff & Rick Lombardo."
Original music? In A Christmas Carol? Uh, not sure we signed up for Scrooge: The Musical. What the heck would Charlie Dickens think about his crotchety old Scrooge character doing a little song and dance in front of the fireplace?
Well, we were pleasantly surprised. The music was tastefully done, from the caroling in the balcony before the first act began to a lively rendition of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" to close the show.
"That was really good," said Natalie, sitting back down just moments after giving the cast a standing ovation. And that's pretty high praise from someone who just a couple of years ago vowed to never return to the San Jose Rep.
You see, we'd seen a couple of stinkers in the past and decided to pass on the Rep productions, but then they offered what sounded like an interesting show earlier this year. So we went to see Bill W. and Dr. Bob and it turned out to be an entertaining and informative production featuring the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. It was that play that convinced us to give the Rep another try.
But back to A Christmas Carol. This one had it all, from Richard Farrell in a convincing and entertaining portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge to little Zachary Boston's Tiny Tim. From the period costumes to the impressive set designs. From "Marley was dead to begin with" to "God bless us, everyone"--all in all, it was an entertaining night. Especially delightful was the performance of Seth Margolies as Fezziwig, the Ghost of Christmas Past and in other roles.
We liked the show so much, in fact, that we splurged a little over our usual gift-buying limit and bought our daughter-in-law, Kelly, a couple of tickets for her birthday. And you have to figure that this must have been a pretty good play for Natalie to agree to something like that without so much as a "bah, humbug."
'A Christmas Carol' will run through Dec. 23 at the San Jose Rep. Visit sjrep.com.

Area residents and local officials watched with mixed reactions as President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union Address in front of a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
For the second year in a row, the president's plan for adding jobs and improving the economy was the main focus of those watching. Some felt he hit the mark, while others thought his speech lacked specific plans.
"The overriding situation with me during the whole thing is the debt that our country is in. He never said anything about the $16 trillion debt and what we're going to do. He never got specific about what spending cuts we could take," said Bob Rauch, 58, of Waterford.

President Barack Obama shakes hands before giving his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Rauch, a Republican, thought the President's speech showed a disconnect between goals and how to achieve them.
"He talked about corporations coming back to the company and then in the next sentence he talked about raising taxes on corporation and closing loopholes and raising the minimum wage," said Rauch. "These are the things that moved these companies out of the country in the first place."
Others were more encouraged by plans for economic progress.

Highlights of Obama's State of the Union address
By The Associated Press
Highlights of the economic and other proposals President Barack Obama called for in his State of the Union address:
- JOBS: Partner with businesses and communities to invest in American-made technologies through a network of Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, three of which Obama said he will create by executive order. Eliminate tax breaks that encourage companies to move jobs outside the U.S., and rewrite the tax code.
- HOUSING: Spend $15 billion to help communities awash in foreclosed and vacant properties rebuild while creating construction jobs.
- MINIMUM WAGE: Increase the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 an hour, to $9 in stages by the end of 2015, and allow for automatic increases to keep pace with inflation. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney supported the idea of indexing the minimum wage to inflation.
- GUN CONTROL: Ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds, require background checks for all firearms purchases and increase access to mental health services.
- AFGHANISTAN: Withdraw 34,000 U.S. military forces, just under half the 66,000 troops still there, within a year.
- IMMIGRATION: Continue to tighten the border, crack down on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, establish a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country without , and streamline the immigration system for families, workers and businesses.
- WOMEN: Renew the Violence Against Women Act to help protect victims of domestic violence and help law enforcement investigate and prosecute sexual assaults. The Senate voted Tuesday to renew the law; Obama called on the House to quickly send him a bill.
- EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: Provide access to a high-quality preschool for all children from families with low or moderate incomes.
- TRADE: Begin talks on a comprehensive trade agreement with the European Union to promote the exchange of goods across the Atlantic.
- FEDERAL BUDGET: Continue to work toward the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction and stabilizing the debt as a percentage of the economy, both over 10 years.
- INFRASTRUCTURE: Spend $50 billion on a "Fix It First" program for urgent repairs to roads, bridges and railways.
- ENERGY-CLIMATE CHANGE: Make permanent and refundable a tax credit for renewable energy to help double the production from wind, solar and geothermal sources by 2020. Help states cut energy waste and increase efficiency through a competitive grant program modeled after a similar program for education. Direct Cabinet secretaries to identify additional executive steps to deal with climate change.
- EDUCATION: Launch a competition to help redesign and modernize high schools, and create a corps of 10,000 of the nation's brightest science and math teachers to improve instruction in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
"A couple of things he mentioned, such as the minimum wage at nine dollars an hour, it has some merit," said David Brightbill, executive director of Washington-Morgan Community Action, which provides services such as weatherization, energy assistance, and job training to residents in need.
Creating jobs that pay a living wage would be a huge step in the right direction, he said.
The president also pointed to domestic oil and gas production as one outlet for stimulated economic growth.
"The natural gas boom has led to cleaner power and greater energy independence. That's why my administration will keep cutting red tape and speeding up new oil and gas permits," said Obama.
That issue is one that Ohio Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, was glad the President addressed.
"I was encouraged by the president's remarks about continuing to peruse strategies for energy independence and continue to make available domestic oil and gas," said Gentile. "That allows for local economic job growth here in Ohio."
Gentile was also pleased about the president's plan for establishing a manufacturing policy that would encourage American production.
Obama called for "a tax code that lowers incentives to move jobs overseas, and lowers tax rates for businesses and manufacturers that create jobs right here in America."
However, Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, said he would like to see action that proves the President's commitment to oil and gas exploration.
"I haven't seen real action to encourage that. I've seen the opposite -unwillingness to lease," said Thompson.
Obama touched on the issue of gun reform, pointing to many people in attendance who had been affected by gun violence.
Ernie Hoschar, a member of the Fort Harmar Rifle Club, thought the display attempted to play on the emotions of the crowd without truly giving information about his plans.
Though Obama did not specifically outline his plans, he has previously talked of plans to renew a ban on assault style weapons, to lower legal magazine capacities, and to mandate universal background checks.
"I think when it does come to Congress, I feel pretty certain he won't get the assault weapon ban reinstated," said Hoschar.
Marietta resident Jon Grimm, a Republican, agreed that the majority of the people in the country want the Second Amendment upheld.
"I think the Democrats are trying to use that issue as a deterrent from some of the real problems in America," said Grimm.
The number one problem right now is the economy, said Grimm.
While it was no surprise that the president focused much of his address on the economy, there was some surprise that he did not spend more time getting specific about his plans for gun control.
"I thought he would address the gun control issue harder. But I think he recognizes early on that this is going to be a loser for him. The people of this nation are not going to give up their Second Amendment rights easily or quietly," said Leslie Haas, chairman of the Washington County Republican Party.
Haas was hoping Obama would give more focus on specific plans for growing the economy. Instead, he focused on expanding programs that will cost the country more money, she said.
"I sense very strongly he's going to roll out another stimulus package. He talks about not wanting to add to our national debt. Where does he think this money is going to come from?" asked Haas.
Warren Bigley, 28, of Parkersburg, agreed.
"We're still talking about more spending, more taxes, more debt and no real plan to cut spending," said Bigley, a Republican.
A real plan could better be achieved if Obama make a more concentrated effort to reach across the aisle, said Rep. Thompson.
"There's always a villain in his speeches, whether it is my party, or big businesses, or the rich. When you're the president, you're the president of all of us. There is no villain," said Thompson.
Obama could benefit by stealing an idea or two from the Republican Party and working to reach bipartisan resolutions to the debt crisis, he said.
One of the proposed programs Obama spoke of Tuesday would provide greater access to preschool programs across the country.
Although Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Athens, was not going to be able to watch the speech live, she was hopeful the address would touch on the importance of education.
"I have some interest in what he is proposing for early childhood education. If there are plans to increase the investment in early childhood education, that will create great opportunities for our community," said Phillips.
Obama proposed "working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America."
Washington County Democratic Party chairperson Molly Varner was encouraged by the president's plan for education.
"I love the idea that we have to have people ready from the beginning -to get them used to the idea that learning is a lifelong process," said Varner.
The plan to improve individual education and improve workforce skills was just one of the solid ideas Obama had that will help the country continue on the path toward economic recovery, said Varner.
But it was the issue of voter reform particularly resonated with Varner, who has volunteered as a poll worker in the past.
"You have the story of the 102-year-old lady who waited in line for hours and hours to vote. That just is not right," she said.
Obama announced the creation of a non-partisan commission to improve the voting experience in America.
Obama also reiterated plans to withdraw the remaining American troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
Varner was glad to hear the plan, and said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have directly contributed to the deficit problem.
"I'm just so pleased to know we'll no longer be bleeding American blood and American money into these wars." she said.
The president also touched on immigration reform, and while it was not her number one concern, Haas was pleased to somewhat agree with the President on that point.
"I think several of the reforms he mentioned were in the right direction. The time has come to address that issue," said Haas.
Congressman Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, reacted shortly after the speech: "What we heard tonight was a total lack of willingness by President Obama to work with Congress on common sense solutions that would address America's challenges," he said in a statement. "President Obama blamed Congress for his failure to lead, and threatened to side step Congress all together to get what he wants."

Even though it's a road game, Warren will be a slight favorite when it plays at Chillicothe in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League football game at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The Andy Schob-coached Warriors own a 2-4 overall mark (0-1 SEOAL) while the host Cavaliers are 1-5 (0-1).
Warren opened up league play last Friday night at Jackson, and gave the two-time defending SEOAL champion Ironmen (3-3, 1-0) a battle before falling 36-26. The visiting Warriors never led but were close throughout the contest.

KAREN HENTHORN Special to Times
Warren wide receiver Andrew Vincent (3) is tackled by a Jackson defender during Southeastern Ohio Athletic League football action at Jackson High last Friday night. The Warriors dropped a 36-26 decision to the two-time defending SEOAL champion Ironmen. This Friday night, Warren faces host Chillicothe in another SEOAL contest.
"We have made big strides the last several weeks and are improving," Schob said. "Our kids have played hard and have stayed excited for the entire game. That resulted in a big win over Meigs and then battling two-time defending Champion Jackson to the end."
Warren senior quarterback Dylan Leffingwell led the way against Jackson, passing for 208 yards (15 of 29) and one touchdown, and rushing for 97 yards on eight carries and one scoring run of 56 yards.
"Dylan Leffingwell is really starting to play well, and probably played his best overall game of his career last week," Schob said. "He threw the ball extremely well and looked to run more which gives us another dimension on offense. Our seniors are doing a great job in helping with our attitude and effort, and some younger players are showing some good signs of improvement."
Andrew Vincent had 11 catches for 148 yards and one TD of 18 yards from Leffingwell. Chas Miller kicked a school-record 47-yard field goal in the second quarter for the Warriors.
Statistically, Warren had an edge on Jackson, amassing 402 total yards and 24 first downs.
Chillicothe also lost its league opener, falling 20-7 at Gallia Academy (4-2, 1-0). The Cavs were minus one of their running backs in Tim Beard, who was sidelined with an injury.
The Cavs had only 155 yards of total offense, 111 on the ground. RB Markel Cain scored his team's only touchdown, a 50-yard run in the third quarter.
"Chillicothe is very well coached is also getting better because of their very tough schedule," Schob said. "They have been playing teams that are very athletic and good teams from Columbus and Dayton. They had several opportunities to beat Gallia last week to open league play and competed well. So their record is very misleading on how good they can be.
"They have good speed, their quarterback Ryan Mathis is a returning all-league performer and runs their offense very well."
Last season, the royal blue and white dropped a nail-biting 15-13 decision to CHS in Vincent.
"The last two meetings have been very tight and been decided by less than a touchdown," Schob said. "We know we will have to play good football to be successful Friday, but I really like the approach our team is taking every day."

Next test for Gen-6 car comes at Texas Motor Speedway
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 12:39 a.m.
FORT WORTH, Texas — One of the key moments in the development of NASCAR's new Sprint Cup car came in a multicar test at Texas last fall.
Sprint Cup
Qualifying: 6:30 tonight, SPEED
Race: 7 p.m. Saturday, FOX
Now six races into the first season with the new model cars, they get to race on that 1½-mile high-banked track Saturday night.
"Texas really was one of the pivotal moments of the development of this car and the package that we handed off to the teams to race this year," Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition, said Thursday.
"I think we're off to a pretty good start for the year for the package that we have. "It seems to me that the teams are pretty happy with what they have been handed off to start with."
The new models look more like their passenger car counterparts. And each of the three manufacturers has a car in the top four of the Sprint Cup standings.
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are first and third, respectively, in Chevrolets. Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski is second in a Ford, and Kyle Busch fourth in a Toyota.
"Every weekend is a big weekend right now for our sport and this new car. We have been very fortunate over the last two or three races to have great runs. Not just as the 2 team, but as the sport," Keselowski said. "I think we have seen compelling racing and great battles. I think the car is doing as well as you can expect it to coming out of the gate."
There were two testing sessions Thursday, providing more than three extra hours on the Texas track.
Greg Biffle, the defending race winner, turned the fastest lap in those sessions at 192.864 mph. That was faster than the qualifying speed for both Cup races at Texas last year — Martin Truex in the spring race (190.369 mph) and Jimmie Johnson (191.076 mph) last fall — but well off Brian Vickers' qualifying mark of 196.235 mph set for the 2006 fall race.
"Yeah, the last time I drove this car was last year here, and it has come so far since then," said Biffle, who was part of that October test in Texas. "It was definitely a handful then to drive and now the first few laps on the race track it has a lot of grip and is really fun to drive. You know, it is the same old Texas. We are sliding and a little loose and then tight and it is going to be a fun race."

Judge orders state to pay PETA's legal fees
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 1:37 p.m.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina judge is ordering a state agency to pay $75,000 in legal fees to an animal rights group trying to stop a community from using a live possum in its New Year's Eve celebration.
Organizers of the Brasstown Possum Drop trap a wild possum and put it in a clear plastic box each Dec. 31. The box is lowered to the ground at midnight, and the possum is later released.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called the event cruel, and an administrative law judge last year agreed.
But the state Wildlife Resources Commission continued to file legal challenges.
A Wake County judge last week called those filings frivolous.
Lawmakers passed a measure earlier this year allowing Brasstown to continue using a live possum.

Chord-Ayres deserving
Several months ago my wife Paula and I read in the Montevideo American-News that the Chord-Ayres from Milan were going to be inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in New Ulm on November 2nd.
Having lived in Montevideo for 30 years and now living in the small town of Elysian, east of Mankato, we thought it would be an excellent opportunity to attend the induction ceremony and get reacquainted with old friends and make some new ones as well. We were not disappointed.
We were treated to a great meal, great entertainment and an even greater time.
When the Chord-Ayres were formally introduced to everyone in attendance, there was a feeling that here was a group that definitely belonged in the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, right along with the likes of Dob Dylan, Judy Garland, Johnny Holms and many others.
Along with the Chord-Ayres, also inducted into the Hall of Fame were Leonard Langley, Leroy Glazier, Canoise, Jerry Minar and the group Koerner, Ray & Glover.
After the Chord-Ayres' induction, we were all treated to three songs sung by them that got the whole crowd in a great mood. It was definitely the highlight of the night, right up there with when some of our friends (in the Chord-Ayres) initially saw us and were surprised (and hopefully happy) to see us.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 11, 2013
WAGENER, S.C. (WRDW) -- Attorney James Huff of Huff Law Firm, P.C. in North Augusta has seen the video of a traffic stop in Wagener.
Two weekends ago, a Wagener town councilman's son was pulled over by Wagener Police Department for speeding. The officer, who admits to turning off his dashcam recorder, also believes the man was Driving Under the Influence.
"Like I said, if you wouldn't have been around this area, you know, you would have probably been looking a whole lot worse situation," says Officer Dustin Johnson in the video, which was recorded with a small HD camera on his belt. "As my years of experience as a DUI specialist, you're not able to drive, okay?"
"I'm offended by it, and that's a strong word," Huff says. "And this is coming from a DUI defense attorney!"
Ultimately, the councilman's son just got a warning for speeding and was driven home by his parents. A field sobriety test was never done.
"You don't stop collecting evidence up front based on who someone is," Huff says.
But the town says no favoritism was shown. Wagener Police Chief Tom Gray told News 12 that officers commonly use discretion. He even told News 12 officers sometimes give breaks to those who need them.
"I would venture to say that there's not a person alive who has been arrested that didn't need a break. That's not the standard by which we enforce our criminal laws," Huff says.
As one of the leading DUI attorneys in the state, Huff still has grave concerns about this case. He fears the case will have a wider impact and could affect other cases. He says jurors could question fairnes, and the conviction rate could take a hit for Wagener Police.
"You may have jurors in the Wagener area that feel like, well, why should we convict Mr. Jones, when this person wasn't charged at all? So, you might have some blowback for a while," Huff says.
Based on what he's seen, he says he feels special treatment was shown in this case. However, the town says, after a conversation with the State Law Enforcement Division, SLED will not investigate.
A SLED spokesman has told News 12 that his agency never received a request for investigation.
As for why the officer turned off the dashcam, the town says, again, that's officer discretion. However, Huff says he's never known an officer to turn off a dashcam in a situation like that.
Huff actually wrote the law in South Carolina that requires officers to keep the dashcam on during DUI investigations, so he says that's another detail that almost makes him sick to his stomach.
To view the full bodycam video of the incident, see below.
Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013
WAGENER, S.C. (WRDW) -- In the small town of Wagener, rumors are spreading, but a newly released body-camera video contains big answers about a Saturday night traffic stop.
The son of a Wagener councilman was pulled over in front of Wagener-Salley High School for speeding.
"He come through around the corner over there. I locked in on him at 51 in a 30," says Officer Dustin Johnson in the video, which was recorded with a small HD camera on his belt (to view the full video, see below).
Officer Johnson is a new officer with Wagener Police Department. He started with the department back in June.
The recording begins with the driver, who was apparently driving home from a wedding, already out of the car. In the tape, Officer Johnson says the suspect is likely driving under the influence of alcohol. The officer also determine the suspect possesses multiple South Carolina drivers licenses.
"You said you got two or three licenses?" Officer Johnson asks in the recording.
"No, not in the car I don't. In my house I do," the suspect answers.
"Alright, I don't need to hear no more. That's against the law," Johnson says.
Minutes later in the recording, the boy's father, Wagener Councilman George Smith, shows up.
"How are you doing Mr. Smith?" says Officer Johnson in the video as he shakes the councilman's hand.
After doing some paperwork, the officer returns to the councilman and his son.
"As my years of experience as a DUI specialist, you're not able to drive, okay?" Officer Johnson says in the recording. "That's just from looking at you before even having to do anything else. I could tell that in your eyes as soon as you stepped into the light."
Afterwards, Johnson admits he turned off his squad car's dash-cam video recorder, so the incident wouldn't be recorded, apparently forgetting that the body camera he was wearing was still on.
"You know, it's not always about trying to write tickets or trying to put people in jail," responds Wagener Chief Tom Gray in a News 12 interview. "You know, every situation is different."
News 12 asked Chief Gray if favoritism was shown for the son of an elected official.
"Well, in any call or any traffic stop, ultimately, the officer has full discretion in whether to make a charge or not to make a charge," says Chief Gray. "Without a doubt, the situation was justly handled by the officer. He did a good job."
Gray says the video shows that the suspect isn't impaired. He says the suspect's speech is not slurred, and he appears coherent. However, in the video, Officer Johnson mentions that the suspect is intoxicated to some extent twice.
Toward the end of the recording, Officer Johnson even tells the suspect that he likely would have been charged or possibly arrested in another jurisdiction.
"Like I said, if you wouldn't have been around this area, you know, you would have probably been looking a whole lot worse situation," he says in the recording.
But in Wagener, the suspect was given just a warning for speeding. Traveling 21 miles over the speed limit would normally carry a $185 fine and four points on a license.
The video wraps up with Officer Johnson allowing the suspect to be driven home by his family members. The suspect, Officer Johnson, and Councilman Smith all exchange hand-shakes and thank-yous.
"And don't let him catch you no more," says Councilman Smith to his son in the recording.
"That's right. That's right," adds Officer Johnson.
When questioned by News 12, Councilman Smith is adamant that he did nothing wrong.
"When we got there, I told Officer Johnson, I said, 'Will you let him go home?' That's all I said to him," he tells News 12.
"Did you use your political office to influence the outcome?" asks News 12 reporter Chad Mills.
"No sir. But [Officer Johnson] knew who I was," he responds.
Wagener Police Chief Gray verifies that Smith did nothing wrong. In this case, Chief Gray says the officer made the right call by letting the suspect go home with his parents. Chief Gray says the officer never indicated that he felt his job was in jeopardy if he failed to charge or even arrest Smith's son.
Meanwhile, Smith says even though his son was drinking, he wasn't a threat.
"If it would have been your son, I'd have done the same thing," he says. "Here [he] is half a mile from home, [he was] out of the vehicle, [and he was] no danger to nobody."
But will citizens agree that favoritism wasn't shown?
"When an officer is supposed to uphold the law, he's supposed to, at all costs, uphold the law," says Pat Quattlebaum, who is from the Wagener area.
Quattlebaum was on the road that night. She says she actually saw a vehicle with a description matching that of the suspect before the traffic stop. Quattlebaum says that vehicle was approaching speeds of a hundred miles per hour.
Whatever the case, Quattlebaum wonders if she'd get the same treatment as the councilman's son.
"In your opinion, if you were in that situation, you think you'd still be in jail right now," asks reporter Mills.
"Oh, I would have people still digging to pay my bail. I'd go straight to jail. I wouldn't have passed Go," Quattlebaum shoots back.
While Chief Gray says the officer is now on paid administrative leave, he again says his officers show discretion on a case-by-case basis, so he believes this wasn't a case of favoritism.
Before the interview with Chief Gray, Wagener Mayor Michael Miller told News 12 bags of marijuana and bottles of liquor are sometimes poured out and drivers are given simple warnings. Chief Gray doesn't deny it.
"Can you say that there have been other cases where people have been drinking where they were given warnings or let off?" asks Mills.
"Yes," says Chief Gray. "Yes. There has been in my career. Absolutely. And I'm sure other officers with their particular scenario or situation have given breaks to those individuals that need them."
As for Quattlebaum, she'll continue to buckle up and keep her foot off the gas.
"As far as I'm concerned, if I'd go through Wagener right now speeding, I bet you I'd pop a ticket real quick-like," she says.
Meanwhile, News 12 is told that the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) could soon be investigating Wagener Police Department's handling of this case.
