MONTREAL — Much of Jason Pominville's career has been defined by consistency. The Buffalo Sabres' captain might go a few games without an assist or a handful without a goal, then he quickly returns to the score sheet.
But an eight-game goal drought? That's rare. A slide of 14 games without an assist? That's as common as Bigfoot dropping the ceremonial faceoff.
Pominville endured both slumps recently. It weighed on him, primarily because he wasn't helping the team win.
"It's bugging you when you lose," he said Friday. "Losing sucks a lot of energy out of you. You're trying to figure out what to do, but at the same time I don't think my play had varied at all. I think I was still doing things that led to me to get points.
"I wasn't scoring when I had chances. Guys weren't scoring when I made plays. A lot of that has to fall into it, but as long as we're winning now and getting back to where we want to be and playing better hockey, it puts a smile on everyone's face and makes life a lot easier for everyone."
The Sabres visit Montreal and Bell Centre tonight on a 3-1-1 run, and not coincidentally Pominville has returned to the stat sheet.
He has four points in the five games, snapping the goal and assist droughts along the way.
He scored Thursday during a 5-4 shootout victory over Toronto. He skated along the top of the crease and buried a nice feed from Cody Hodgson for his 10th goal and first since March 2.
The point-blank chances had been lacking until then.
"When we played together, there was a lot on the outside," said left wing Thomas Vanek, who is expected to return after missing a game with a hip injury. "He got in the hole and got rewarded."
Pominville points to a role change on the power play for his rare extended slumps. His reacquaintance with the blue line has had its shaky moments after he spent most of last season down low.
"A lot of times I'm the furthest guy from the net on the power play," he said. "It's tough when you see other guys score from within 5 feet and you're all the way back, but if that's an area I can help the team, I'm fine with scoring less and being up top and doing whatever I can to help out."
Seven of Pominville's 23 points have come with the man advantage, which would translate to 18 over an 82-game season.
He had 26 power-play points last year.
"I was pretty consistent at putting in power-play points up front," Pominville said. "I think sometimes you might not have the game you want to have, but you get a rebound in front of the net on the power play and you end up scoring a goal, and then you get confidence and it goes from there.
"At times it's been a little bit frustrating where you're all the way back on the blue line and if things aren't going your way you can't get that rebound and you can't get anything around the net, no action. But again, whatever I can do to help, that's where I am, and I've got to figure it out."
He's pleased the team has begun to figure things out. They flew to Montreal in 11th place, a large step from the 15th spot they languished in for a while.
"Flipping it around and winning games makes life so much better for everyone, a better atmosphere in practice, a better atmosphere in the room," he said.
Vanek and coach Ron Rolston both said it's too early to start looking at the standings for comfort, though.
Although they were just four points behind Carolina for the final playoff spot (with one extra game played), the Sabres are still far from where they want to be.
"We don't have to kid ourselves," Vanek said. "Four points doesn't sound like much, but it's a lot because teams are playing each other and gaining points in front of you. Most guys realize how hard it is to catch up. All we can worry about is tomorrow to get another two points and just get lucky."
The Sabres' leading scorer feels fortunate to be back so soon. Vanek thought he broke his hip Tuesday when teammate Christian Ehrhoff plunked him with a slap shot in Montreal.
"I got hit on the bone, and it just kind of froze me for two days. I couldn't move, couldn't do anything," said Vanek, who began feeling better Thursday night and got most of his flexibility back Friday morning.
"As of right now I feel good."
Defenseman Andrej Sekera is expected to miss his fourth straight game with an upper-body injury.
"We'll see how he is in the morning again and make a decision from there," Rolston said, "but probably likely it'd be next week."

"I would like to thank all of Cory's supporters at this extremely emotional time," she Tweeted. "Your support has been overwhelming … thank you!"
The 31-year-old actor was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13, from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.
Since then a number of people have come forward and spoken to the media claiming to be family insiders.
McGregor addressed that issue on Twitter as well, saying, "The person releasing articles relating to my feelings and thoughts on how to take care of Cory's ashes has never been in contact with me." She followed it up with, "I have never met or spoken to this person. He does not represent me or my wishes."
Fans of Monteith may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

Online Social Security Statement Reaches One Million Milestone
In less than two months' time one million people have gone online, created a my Social Security account, and viewed their Social Security Statement.
The online Social Security Statement is a huge success, said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. The online Statement meets our commitment to provide Americans with an easy, efficient process to obtain an estimate of their potential Social Security benefits. I recommend everyone get in the habit of checking their online Statement each year, around their birthday, for example.
Find out why online Statements are so popular by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement.
Social Security, Kaiser Permanente Work Together for Faster Disability Decisions
Kaiser Permanente, one of the nations largest healthcare providers, has agreed to transmit its patients complete medical records to Social Security electronically with the appropriate consent. As part of the disability determination process, the agency requests about 70,000 patient files from Kaiser Permanente each year, so this seamless new system will allow Social Security to make faster and more accurate disability decisions.
In todays world, it makes no sense for us to chase down paper records on an individual basis, said Commissioner Astrue. We are thrilled that Kaiser Permanente is now one of our key agents for change.
Over the last few years, Social Security had entered into similar agreements with several smaller providers to exchange medical records electronically over the Nationwide Health Information Network. The agreement with Kaiser Permanente marks the agencys first move into using health information technology on a large-scale basis.
More information on Social Securitys use of health information technology is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/hit.
Commissioner Testimony on the Appeals Process
On June 27th, Commissioner Astrue testified before the House Committee on Ways and Means, Subcommittee on Social Security. The Commissioner provided an overview of the appeals process, an update on agency efforts to eliminate the hearings backlog, and discussed the Presidents fiscal year (FY) 2013 funding request.
Read the Commissioners testimony to Congress at www.socialsecurity.gov/legislation/testimony_062712.html.
Emergency PreparednessSome Advice From Social Security
Wicked weather, including tornadoes, tropical storms, and wildfires, have forced many people from their homes and are a reminder to us all to be prepared for an emergency. If you or your clients receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income benefits, part of being prepared should include electronic payments via direct deposit or Direct Express®. Learn more about these convenient ways to receive monthly benefits at www.godirect.org.
During a weather emergency, you can find out if your local Social Security office is open by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/emergency.
Subscribe to Social Security Update today and you'll always be in the know when it comes to Social Security news. All we need is your e-mail address.

on December 10, 2012 - 5:46 PM
So what exactly was Bob Costas supposed to apologize for?
Let's review:
A Kansas City Chiefs player murders the mother of his child and then goes to the Chiefs' practice facility, thanks his coach and general manager for the life opportunity and then shoots himself in front of them as the cops pull into the parking lot. He dies later.
Everyone's quick check of Missouri gun laws reveals no licensing or registration needed to buy handguns. To carry them concealed requires a permit, but if they catch you without one, it's only a violation for which you pay $35. Illegal parking in Buffalo costs more.
The crime is big news – murder is uncommon in the NFL and any other sport. During halftime of the first Sunday night football program after the tragic, needless murder-suicide, NBC's Bob Costas reads an excerpt from a column by sportswriter Jason Whitlock. Whitlock contends that if the player hadn't had guns as an easy solution to a domestic disagreement, both victims of the murder-suicide would still be alive.
Well, of course. It seems to me that's virtually inarguable. Yes, women are still stabbed to death in horrendous incidents of domestic violence in this country. If large kitchen knives were his only weapon of violent recourse, though, one has to wonder if discharging his fury would have been as easy. (Not to mention the unlikelihood of his suicide-by-knife.)
How easy it is to shoot a handgun, even with some kickback; how very dead you can be after you're shot.
Costas, then, was quoting for a national audience, the commentary of Kansas City's nationally prominent sports columnist about the terrible events. That the commentary was pointedly critical of American gun culture is representative of a huge segment of the American population – many would say a majority.
Costas has the strongest commentary credibility of anyone in the regular world of sports. As Olympic emcee and one of the best interviewers late night television will ever have on the long-gone but fondly remembered "Later," Costas is now a sports figure by profession but hardly by intellectual or emotional limitation. He has the breadth of the most "serious" TV news figures even though his job next Sunday night, for instance, will be to guide American TV viewers through the San Francisco 49ers encounter with the New England Patriots in New England.
Somehow, though, diminutive, cheerful Costas wound up defensive and even apologetic with tall, ex-Harvard blunderbuss Bill O'Reilly, whose show can be used by liberals as a poultice for sudden political inflammations of the conservative persuasion.
It was a tribute once again – not that we ever needed one – to the monolithic power of the gun lobby, especially in an era when political extremism has become even easier than shooting people. What simply cannot be avoided, though, is that behind the American gun lobby is the Second Amendment in all its anachronistic, non sequitur glory.
Not only do its two clauses not really go together (the sense of it is that you never know when a citizen militia might need to repel transoceanic invaders, so you'd better have guns in the house just in case your participation is needed), but it's a relic of weapons technology two centuries old.
I've always thought the best way to understand the Second Amendment is to think of the duel of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. It was roughly contemporaneous with the Second Amendment (it happened 13 years after the Second Amendment, which will celebrate its 221st birthday Saturday).
You could say, Jason Whitlock-style, that if Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr hadn't had access to dueling pistols in a society that absurdly encouraged their use, George Washington wouldn't have lost the most brilliant adviser he ever had and America itself would have had one of its greatest minds around a few decades longer. Burr just couldn't stand Hamilton getting in his political way any longer, on the thoroughly understandable ground that Burr was a nasty, dishonest SOB. Hence, the duel, as ridiculous as it has seemed for hundreds of years.
Both the First and Second Amendments are the product of ancient technologies. No one in post-Revolutionary America could possibly have imagined assault rifles – or nuclear bombs in suitcases, either. Nor in 18th century America could they have foreseen cellphones capable of conjuring flash mobs in minutes and sending child pornography across oceans in even less time than that. Twelve years ago, who among us thought of commercial jet airliners as huge instruments of international terrorism?
The idea that information devices themselves are among the greatest weapons in the 21st century – laying vast governmental and financial systems open to any malevolence smart and willing enough – would have been a nightmare large enough to cause a self-respecting "founding father" to turn around and go back to bed.
If Alexander Hamilton were alive in 2012, I doubt he'd think it was a good idea that innocent Colorado citizens going to see the newest Batman movie could be slaughtered by a crazy guy who was able to get his hands on an assault rifle. I would be willing to bet he'd be thinking of ways to make that less likely.
The First Amendment is an idea that, I submit, in pure form is the noblest in the history of Western civilization: We are all not only entitled to think, talk and read as we choose, but we are all, potentially, instruments of each other's enlightenment.
The Second Amendment is a defense strategy for a world that hasn't existed in two centuries.
To understate the case, mine was not a gun household when I was growing up.
Nor was any that I knew of. I loved toy guns as a kid. (I was one of Hopalong Cassidy's little "buckaroos.") When I first shot a rifle at Adirondack summer camp, I liked it and quickly got good enough to win an NRA sharpshooter badge.
My life as a marksman was over as quickly as it began. I didn't meet anyone who hunted until I went to college and had in my dormitory guys from Jamestown, Tupper Lake and Meadville, Pa., who'd all grown up teen hunters.
Their diversions aren't mine, but if that's what they want to do, I'd never want to stop them (one of them who worked at the cafeteria bagged a bunch of quail and cooked them for us – very tasty, though you had to watch out for shotgun pellets).
That handguns are so easily available in Kansas City and that assault rifles can be purchased anywhere by private citizens seem to me things that a modern-day Alexander Hamilton might want to rethink a little (especially if one of those private citizens was Aaron Burr.)
As for a commentator as trenchant as Bob Costas, Thomas Jefferson would no doubt be glad the First Amendment had his back, even if Hamilton might have been dubious.

|Peter Luger
When I was told the burger at Peter Luger was something worth going to for lunch, I figured it's a good excuse to try their steak as well. Since the burger was only served at lunch, thus I added Peter Luger to my lunch list.
|Peter Luger Steaksauce
Instead of butter, I dip my bread in Peter Luger's famous steak sauce. Fantastic, just wonderful. I think I want to get a bottle of that sauce next time!
|Luger's Sizzling Bacon
Besides the steak, you order the bacon when you eat at Peter Luger, no ifs or buts. The thick cut of bacon was purely divine. I'd go to Peter Luger just to order this!
|Luger Burger
I want to say I loved the burger, but I didn't. It's a damn good burger, especially for something under $10. However, I liked my burgers at Minetta Tavern and Shack Shake a lot more. The fries are pretty unforgettable, but was heightened by the Luger Steaksauce.
|Steak for One
This is why I came to Peter Luger in the first place, for the steak. A perfectly cooked medium rare, does it get better than this?? Now, was it the best steak I've ever had? I didn't think so, but for the price (under $40 a person), you could do a lot worse than a steak at Peter Luger. I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely come back for its sizzling bacon, the steak, and of course, that damn good steaksauce!

Father of Suspected Gunman: 'We Are in a State of Disbelief'
"Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy," said Peter Lanza in a statement Saturday night. "No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can."
His son Adam Lanza, 20, is suspected of opening fire on the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Adam's mother Nancy Lanza also was killed earlier at another location.
The Lanzas were divorced in 2009. Nancy's family also released a statement:
"The family of Nancy Lanza share the grief of a community and a nation as we struggle to comprehend the tremendous loss that we all share. Our hearts and prayers are with those who share in this loss. On behalf of Nancy's mother and siblings we reach out to the community of Newtown and express our heartfelt sorrow for the incomprehensible and profound loss of innocence that has affected so many."
Peter Lanza and Adam's older brother Ryan were questioned by the FBI but are not suspects, a law enforcement source tells PEOPLE.
The last of the bodies were removed by early Saturday as police narrowed in on a motive and released the names of the victims.
Investigators have found "very good evidence ... as to how, and more importantly, why, this occurred," State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance told reporters. He didn't elaborate.

The VFW was founded for one, single purpose: to assure those who've protected our country are protected in return. This protection comes in the form of programs, standing up for veterans rights in Washington, D.C., and reaching out with help in communities across America. The hard truth is, we can't do this without your generosity. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Find out more about giving to VFW.
Click on the program you would like to donate to.
The VFW's Veterans & Military Support programs are the driving force behind our troop and family support efforts.
Home to the ever-popular, ever-vital VFW Operation Uplink™ program, the Unmet Needs program, the Military Assistance Program (MAP) and the VFW's "Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship" program, the VFW's Veterans & Military Support programs have made a significant impact in the lives of millions of service members and their families.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of students participate in the VFW's Voice of Democracy (VOD) and Patriot's Pen audio-essay competitions. Created to foster patriotism among our nation's youth, VFW scholarship programs award winners more than $3.3 million in scholarships and incentives as well as an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.
Each year, our nationwide network of VFW Service Officers assist nearly 67,000 veterans nationwide. From assisting veterans in filing for disability compensation to requesting hearings before the VA Board of Appeals, these skilled professionals garner over a billion dollars in compensation benefits for veterans annually.
Sometimes a simple phone call home is the best morale boost for a deployed soldier.

Know How Much You Have Before Applying More
Know How Much You Have Before Applying More
Smart Management Can Help Growers Get the Most Bang for Their Buck on Fertilizer
When traveling, knowing how much fuel is in your gas tank versus how much is needed to get to your destination is important. Similarly, knowing how much nitrogen you start with in the soil and how much is needed to get to maximum yields is critical. Realizing these numbers will help you be more efficient with your corn nitrogen (N) fertilizer.
"To obtain maximum yields and get the most out of your N application, it needs to be the right amount, at the right place and at the right time," says John Shanahan, DuPont Pioneer agronomy research manager.
Determining the correct N rate can be a challenge. First, assess how much is currently in the soil. One way to assess a field's N level is by researching how much was applied and measuring how much was taken off. This can be done by multiplying 0.66 (average pounds of N a bushel of corn removes) by the number of bushels produced per acre. Then subtract from the amount of nitrogen applied per acre. This will help you estimate the amount of residual N and determine how much you need to adjust for this year's application.
While most like to take a soil sample in the fall, taking a spring soil sample is another way to help determine the amount of N still left in the soil. After the residual amount of N has been found via a soil sample, assess the need of the coming crop to calculate an efficient N application.
"With our N fertilizer trials, if there was a lot free N from mineralization, we didn't see a large response after applying the N," Shanahan reports. "We will likely see a fair amount of free N this year due to the drought and lower yields, so knowing how much N is in the soil will help you apply the right amount this spring."
When applying N, placement is important. Applying N in a band and adjacent to the plant with incorporation can often be the most cost effective and decrease your N losses. Making sure the applicator is calibrated correctly allows you to better control and place the N.
The ideal time for plants to receive N is just after emergence. With applications of N in the spring and at side-dressing time, crops are able to utilize more of the N and increase yields. However, applications in the fall with a mild winter, like this past winter, will also provide a sufficient amount of N in the soil at the right time.

Polls open: Noon to 8 p.m. in the Barker High School Auditorium, 1628 Quaker Road.
Web link: www.barkercsd.net
Voters will consider a $19 million budget that cuts spending nearly $467,000 from its current level, a 2.4 percent reduction.
"While our expenditures have steadily risen, our revenues have decreased, primarily from our PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) with the Somerset coal plant (now Upstate Power Producers) , which will drop $3 million in 2013-14," said Superintendent Roger Klatt.
To help cut down on costs, Barker and the Royalton-Hartland districts will share a superintendent. Effective July 1, Klatt will oversee both districts.
The district has also taken on other collaborative agreements with Roy-Hart "by sharing our football program, and we will share wrestling and some special education programs and a business teacher. We are also eliminating 6 full-time positions and will not fill vacancies created with retirements," Klatt said.
Voters will choose from a field of three candidates for two school board openings. Candidates are:
• Incumbent William Smith, 73, retired Barker elementary teacher who has served on Barker School Board for 18 years, was board president for seven years and currently serves as vice president.
• Mary Jo Clemens-Harris, 44, is an optician. This is her second time running for a seat on the board.
• John McDonald , 65, retired General Motors toolmaker. Also taught vocational education for BOCES for 10 years. First time running for elected office.
• Candidates (elect 3): Jodee L. Riordan, Anna Boulay Wright, Betty VanDenBosch Warrick.

• Tax levy increase allowed under tax cap: 4 percent.
• Tax levy: $23.6 million, up 5.52 percent.

• Taxes on $100,000 home: $1,966.
• Percentage of budget from property taxes: 59 percent.
• Percentage of budget from state aid: 34.8 percent.
• Proposition 2: $26 million capital improvement project for interior and exterior reconstruction and renovation work for code and safety measures and upgrades throughout the district, as well as a number of enhancements and upgrades including the pool and locker room and air conditioning for the computer labs.
• Polls open: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in Community Resource Center [board room], 4671 Creek Road.
• Web link: www.lew-port.com.
Despite an overall decrease from budget to budget, the proposed $40 million Lewiston-Porter budget would affect taxpayers with a 5.5 percent tax increase. The increased tax levy exceeds their district's tax levy threshold and the proposed budget will need a 60 percent majority to pass. Superintendent R. Christopher Roser said the increase is caused by the loss of state aid from New York State's gap elimination adjustment, which for each of the past three years took away $2.4 million in state aid from their district. "This is the fourth year in a row we are trying to operate with significantly less funds than we had four years ago." He said they have attempted to avoid increases, staying at the same tax level for three years and at the threshold this past year, but he said this past year they were one of eight districts in the state operating with no fund balance. The proposed budget also cuts 23 positions – nine teachers, nine support staff and five they are not filling. "There is not a stash of money floating around in our budget. We've cut lots of positions, but this year we hit the wall. This will maintain the programming that our community wants for our students," said Roser
Three candidates are running for two three-year terms on the board. They are:
• Board President Jodee L. Riordan, 44, of Youngstown, the mother of four, just completed her first three-year term, serving as president for two of those years. She has been active in a number of community organizations and served as president of the Lewiston-Porter Parent Teachers Association, including her first year as president of the Board of Education, serving for one year as president of both boards. She has lived in the district since 1987 and is a graduate of North Tonawanda High School and has a bachelor's degree in English from the University at Buffalo. She is employed in sales as a contract administrator at Modern Disposal.
• Betty J. VanDenBosch Warrick, 45, of Youngstown is seeking her first term on the board. She has lived in the district for the past 20 years and is the mother of three children. She previously served as treasurer, vice president and president of the Lewiston-Porter Parent Teachers Association. She works as the general manager of U.S. operations for Yorkville Sound and has a background in credit management.
• Anna D. Bouley Wright, 32, of Youngstown has lived in the district for the past seven years. She is the mother of two children and is seeking her first term on the board. She has worked in management for 15 years and is currently employed as a general manager for a retail denim store.
• Candidates (elect 3): Diane Phelps; John Williams; Randall Parker; Marietta Schrader; Edward Sandell; Todd McNall.
• Total budget: $83.06 million, up 3.96 percent.
• Tax levy increase allowed under tax cap: 5.04 percent.

• Percentage of budget from property taxes: 42.4 percent.
• Percentage of budget from state aid: 47.8 percent.
• Proposition 2: A $22.2 million capital project package including improvements to the kitchens of four elementary schools, and added security cameras and upgraded Internet connections and fiber optic cable at all schools.
If approved, the district intends to borrow $19.2 million on a 15-year bond at 2≤ percent interest. The state will reimburse the district's costs at 92 cents on the dollar, but the district must spend the money up front. The remaining $3 million will be appropriated from a reserve fund.
•Polls open: Noon to 9 p.m. in Washington Hunt Elementary School, 50 Rogers Ave. (1st Ward); Board of Education, 130 Beattie Ave. (2nd Ward); Anna Merritt Elementary School, 389 Green St. (3rd Ward); Charles Upson Elementary School, 28 Harding Ave. (4th Ward); Roy B. Kelley Elementary School, 610 E. High St. (5th Ward); Lockport High School, 250 Lincoln Ave. (towns).
• Web link: www.lockportschools.org.
Spending rises $3.1 million, or nearly 4 percent, in the $83 million budget voters will consider Tuesday. The major increases are in state-mandated pension contributions, driving a $3 million increase in employee benefits, according to a district newsletter. The budget also includes $1.2 million to pay debt incurred for the 2008 high school renovation project. On the other hand, retirements and the closure of Washington Hunt Elementary School this June have produced $1.3 million in savings. The board deleted nearly $500,000 it had intended as a contingency fund in case of federal budget cuts, assuming Congress will restore the sequestration of funds for local schools.
Candidates (Elect 3): Diane Phelps; John Williams; Randall Parker; Marietta Schrader; Edward Sandell; Todd McNall.
Schrader is a former board president who retired in 2010 after one year in her last term.

Voters are being presented with a budget that holds the tax increase to a flat two percent, the amount usually referred to as the tax levy limit.
Instead of seeking a larger increase, the district will cover more than nine percent of its budget from its reserve savings or about $3.2 million, officials said.
Although the state tax levy limit is frequently believed to be two percent, districts are permitted to make adjustments for items such as indebtedness and pension obligation increases. Such adjustments usually allow districts to seek a larger tax hike without needing a supermajority of voters or 60 percent to pass the budget.
Niagara Falls

Voters will consider a $124.06 million budget that would increase spending by $1.62 million over the current budget.
The budget is the first in 20 years to include a tax levy increase.
District officials say the increase is driven by employee pension contributions and other contractual items.

Polls Open: 8 a.m.-9 p.m., Adult Learning Center, 2292 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn, N.Y.
Web link: www.nwcsd.k12.ny.us/nwcsd/site.
Voters will decide on a budget that had to address a $1 million deficit by eliminating six teaching positions, but not touching kindergarten, as threatened, or sports and the arts programs.
According to school officials, the cuts to cover the budget shortfall total $1.07 million. The instructional cuts come to the equivalent of six teaching positions, while other items in the savings are $414,975 in retirements, $40,975 for three school monitors, one cleaner at $29,415, and $115,000 for 18 hours a day in teaching assistants. School board members had suggested cutting kindergarten back half-time or even entirely until they were approached by dozens of residents who objected.
If the budget goes down, they said kindergarten, a nonmandated program, would be reduced or eliminated for a second budget vote.
This budget represents the third year the district has had to make significant program and personnel cuts and increase taxes since it was pressured into depleting its reserve fund by the State Comptroller's Office.
Voters will elect two members. The highest vote-getter of the three candidates would begin serving on May 21, immediately after the vote to fill the remaining term of a previous vacancy to June 30. The term would continue to June 30, 2016. The term of the second highest would begin July 1 for three years.
Candidates are:

• Percentage of budget from state aid: 49 percent.
• Polls open: noon to 9 p.m. in Alumni Center at North Tonawanda High School, 405 Meadow Drive.
• Web link: www.ntschools.org.
Voters will consider a $65.74 million budget that would increase spending by $987,861 over the current budget.
The rise in spending is driven by benefit costs, primarily the retirement system and contractual increases in salary, said Alan Getter, assistant superintendent for administrative services.
This year nine retirements helped the district keep costs down. "Last year we had zero," Getter said.
Five candidates are running for two three-year terms on the board. They are:
• Colleen Osborn, 38, an incumbent, a medical office manager studying for a master's in nursing, running for a second term. She wants to continue to find ways for the community to use school buildings and to encourage the district to share information in a transparent, accountable way.
• Arthur Pappas, 68, an incumbent, served on the board for 15 years, a decade of those as president. A retired elementary and middle school teacher with Starpoint Central School, he is now running for his sixth term. He aims to collaborate with the city to save costs on such things as snowplowing and bring an educator's perspective to the board. "With education it's the students that should come first. Discussion should revolve around that," he said.
• New are: Robert D. Schmigel, 44, a father of three and store manager at CVS, wants to balance school needs with keeping the budget and taxes down.
• Susanne Williams, 46, an office manager in dental and medical practices, would work to maintain sports and art programs and draw on her experience developing an educational program with her son.

Taxes on a $100,000 home: $2,249.
Percentage of budget from property taxes: 42 percent.
Percentage of budget from state aid: 49 percent.
Polls open: noon to 8 p.m. in Roy-Hart High School gym, 54 State St., Middleport.
Web link: www.royhart.org.
Voters will take to the polls to consider a $22 million budget, which represents a 0.17 percent decrease in spending from the current budget, according to Superintendent Kevin MacDonald. "We made significant cuts in the past four to five years and while the cuts were made in past years, they have had significant benefits that continue," he said.
One of the cuts included a new agreement with Barker schools to share a superintendent. Barker's Roger Klatt will oversee both districts, while MacDonald leaves Roy-Hart to head Genesee Valley Educational Partnerships.
Other cost-saving moves have included laying off teachers "and we have had a fair number of retirements that has helped," MacDonald said. "We're trying to be understanding of the community's needs, while still managing the cuts in state aid we suffered years ago and not balance the budget on the backs of the taxpayers. We feel we're as close to bare bones as we can get."
There are two candidates running unopposed for two three-year terms. They are:
• Daniel Bragg, 58, completing his ninth year on board and is its current vice president. He is manager of Standish Jones Building Supply.
• Sara Fry, 46, office manager for Hypertherm, Lockport. This is her first time running for a seat.

• Percentage of budget from property taxes: 55.4 percent.
• Percentage of budget from state aid: 39 percent.
• Polls open: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the middle school gymnasium, 4363 Mapleton Road, Pendleton.
• Web link: starpointcsd.org.
Superintendent C. Douglas Whelan said the proposed Starpoint budget of $46.55 million, which shows a spending increase of less than $1.2 million, doesn't really cover the district's cost increases. "The cost of doing business as usual is $3.5 million," he said. "We have reduced quite a bit, about $950,000, plus $300,000 in extra state aid." He said the district has had 24 retirees in the last four years that haven't been replaced.
Eight candidates are running for four seats on the board. The top three finishers receive three-year terms; the fourth-place finisher wins a one-year term. The candidates are:

Coming into this meet, the Stetson women's cross country team had one major goal: to bring A-Sun rival Jacksonville down a couple of notches in the conference rankings. As of September 26th, Jacksonville was ranked third in the coaches' poll with 72 points, Stetson was tenth with 23. The Stetson women knew that they deserved better, and the quickest way to settle that score was in head-to-head competition.
The college women's race got into motion with Anne-Marie Blaney dominating the field, pulling her UCF team along to an undisputed first place finish; Blaney won her third meet of the year in a school record 17:24, and the Knights took the team championship with 34 points.
Behind Blaney, JU's Svenja Meyer finished second (17:52), and super-frosh Katy Solis was third (18:30). But then it was Stetson's turn. Freshman Samantha Hicks ran her best college race ever, finishing seventh in the college scoring, and her 18:56 came within one second of the school's record 5K time for women (18:55).
"I felt good; I felt fresh," she said afterward. "[Head Coach] Joe [Matuszczak] wanted me to run the first mile in 6:11, but I crossed it at six flat. I just felt really good, so I kept it up.
"I tried to catch a girl at the end—unattached Holly Wooley (18:55)—but I couldn't. I didn't have as much of a kick as I normally do.
"I'm happy with my time. My goal was 19:15, and I ran 18:56. I'm glad I could help my team."
Next, in order of finish, were Amanda Spring (10th in 19:06), Adrienne De Vita (16th in 19:30), Daniella Godenzi (19th in 19:53), and Sabrina Guzsvany (27th in 20:16). That top five scored 79 points and underscored Jacksonville's 90.
"What they averaged as a team tonight, is what my goal was for the end of season conference meet," explained an ecstatic Matuszczak. "I had hoped to get down to a team average of 19:30 by the end of the season, and they ran 19:32."
Season ending times at its midpoint? That is success spelled with a capital S.
"The conditions were almost perfect for this race," Matuszczak continued. "It was an afternoon meet that could have been a scorcher, but we had great weather; it was overcast, with a light drizzle. With that, we had a lot of outstanding performances. Sami was the first girl in years that ran under 19. Eighteen seconds split six girls—our fifth through tenth finishers—and both Amanda and Adrienne are showing signs of being able to go under 19 by the end of the season."
After Stetson's top five scorers came Jessica Cosgrove (20:19), Trixi Menge (20:23), Shelby Block (20:25), Clarissa Consol (20:33), Emily Nolan (20:34), Valerie Hiller (21:12), Shannon Harrell (22:05), Nicole Garrabrant (22:09), Connie Compton (22:13), Christine Iseley (22:22), and Susan Scaggs (23:10). (Times in bold denote a college PR.)
"The girls are starting to show the work they put in," Matuszczak said. "I projected times for all the girls, and they were almost dead on.
"We did our first speed work this week, so it is only going to get better. The beauty of it is that they are not running for themselves, but for the team. And we beat JU, which was just ranked third in the conference, a conference juggernaut. As of tonight, we're right in the middle of the conference. It all depends upon who 'shows up' for that conference meet."
Leading the men, with a ten second PR, was senior Andrew Epifanio. It was Epifanio's last college cross country 5K, and while bitter-sweet—he had hoped to go under 16—he reset the Stetson 5K school record with his 16:19.
"I felt rested, but the sun came out just before the race," he said afterwards. "It wore me down. I went out faster than I had intended, because Beery and I were pacing off each other.
Consequently our mile splits weren't as even as we wanted them to be. Considering that we hadn't been training for a 5K—we've been on an 8K training plan—I still set a PR in my last cross country 5K race."
Joe Beery (16:36), Ryan Hodgins (17:10), Andrew Townes (17:29), and Cody Malloy (17:46) rounded out the men's scoring, all in their college PRs. Hodgins ran an inspiring race, and among Stetson finishers, placed his highest of the season.
"I felt really good," he reported. "There haven't been many 5Ks this year, and I wanted to make up for USF," which unfortunately was a short course. "I was pumped up because I got nominated for a Hattemy Award."
For Hodgins, the season is hardly over. He still has two 8Ks left, UCF in mid-October, and the A-Sun, which is on the first Saturday in November. In last year's A-Sun he finished third for the team.
"I definitely want to PR again this year, and break 29 for 8K," Hodgins continued. "We want to move up a couple of places, and improve the team's standing at the A-Sun. I hope to help with that."
Although non-scorers, Jeremy Butler (18:30), Kyle Meerdo (19:00), Austyn Finnk (19:57), James Welch III (20:00), Matthew Ady (21:01), and Derrick Greene (24:49) all ran solid races. The Stetson men's team finished fourth out of ten teams entered.
Next up: the UCF Golden Nights Invitational on Friday, October 18th. Men run an 8K, and women a 6K.

, updated April 2, 2013 at 12:25 AM
The applause of local hotel managers and travel officials gathered Monday in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center said it all Monday, as Sen. Charles E. Schumer and Rep. Brian Higgins announced reinstatement of the Buffalo Golden Age Games for veterans, abruptly canceled last month.
Following the lawmakers' intense lobbying, the Department of Veterans Affairs has reversed its decision to cancel the games' 27th annual edition. That means more than 1,000 veterans 55 and older will descend on Buffalo, after all, from May 30 to June 4, resulting in bookings for about 5,000 hotel rooms and an approximate $2.2 million boost to the local economy.
"Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of this community," said Visit Buffalo Niagara President Dottie Gallagher-Cohen.
Indeed, Schumer and Higgins were vocal in their criticism of the VA's decision to cancel the games, especially after local hotels and athletic venues placed the affair on their schedules and veterans from across the country made plans to compete in Buffalo. Schumer said Monday he believed the VA was anticipating the need for budget constraints and targeted the games without investigating the overall effects.
"It seems it happened in haste," he said.
The situation changed, he said, after he personally spoke with VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki.
"We explained the magnitude of how bad this was and how unnecessary this was," Schumer said. "I don't think this had bubbled up to the highest levels."
The rest of Western New York's House delegation also joined the effort to reverse a VA decision that Schumer called "devastating news."
"We were all stunned when they said they would be scrapped," he said.
But the senator noted the decision's reversal means the event will now allow veterans to compete in some of the area's top athletic venues, including aging veterans of Vietnam who may have not been appreciated as much as they should have at the end of that war.
"For them to now gather and compete and share stories from around the country is a great thing," Schumer said.
"Above all, it means our brave veterans that have trained so extensively for these games will not have the opportunity ripped away from them," he added.
Higgins said that he and Schumer approached the situation determined not to accept "no" for an answer.
"It's good that Buffalo stood up for itself," he said.
He and Schumer then posed holding a replica "bronze" medal they said they would award to the VA for reversing its decision.
"It's not quite gold," Schumer said. "But to admit to being wrong and changing your mind is a very good and fine thing. And now we have the games."
Events are scheduled for several locations across Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Western New York, including the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, Erie Community College, Audubon Golf Course and the Made in America Store.
Schumer addressed other matters before marching in Monday's annual Dyngus Day Parade in Cheektowaga. He also emphasized the role he will play as chairman of the Senate Immigration Committee in bills that will change tourism policies for Polish citizens to make it easier for them to visit the United States.
He said he will make a "very strong effort" to make Poland part of the federal "visa waiver program" available to tourists from most other European countries.
"We should make things as easy as possible," he said, adding that he believes the additional tourism to concentrations of Polish-Americans in places like Buffalo would result in 1,500 new jobs and $181 million in new spending.
Schumer emphasized that the reform on behalf of Polish businesses and tourists is long overdue, as Poland has "stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S." over the past two decades, including sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.
The senator said he suspected visa requirements for Poland remained as a remnant of the Cold War.
"And it's long over," he said.

The Hewlett Foundation helps people build measurably better lives. Our grantees are working to reduce poverty in the developing world, curb carbon emissions that lead to climate change, and improve education for students in California and elsewhere, among many other valuable goals.
While the goals of the Foundation are about problems that we're trying to solve, our Foundation is organized in such a way that grants are made from particular programs. We've tried to provide sufficient information about each program's grantmaking to give the visitor a comprehensive understanding of what we fund and why.
Here are the Foundation's five programs and their key goals:
The Education Program makes grants to:
- Increase economic opportunity and civic engagement by educating students to succeed in a changing world through deeper learning
- Improve the conditions for education reform in California
- Equalize access to knowledge for teachers and students around the globe through Open Educational Resources
- Raise educational achievement in disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area
The Environment Program makes grants to:
- Conserve the Western United States and Canada for wildlife and people
- Slow global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Ensure that the U.S. energy supply is clean and consumption is efficient
- Address environmental problems that disproportionately affect disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area
The Global Development and Population Program makes grants to:
- Promote transparent and accountable governance around the world
- Foster greater use of high-quality research and analysis to create sound policy in developing countries, including through investments in training and policy research capacity
- Improve the quality of education and children's learning in the developing world
- Ensure access to quality family planning and reproductive health, both internationally and domestically
- Reduce teen and unplanned pregnancy in disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and California's Central Valley
The Performing Arts Program makes grants to organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area to:
- Ensure continuity and engagement in the arts by creating opportunities for individuals and communities to participate in a wide range of artistic disciplines
- Give California students equal access to an arts education
- Provide the necessary infrastructure to help organizations and artists be more effective in their work
The Effective Philanthropy Group makes grants to:
- Increase and improve information available to donors about nonprofit performance
- Develop information about strategic philanthropy
In addition, the Foundation reserves funding each year to support special projects that do not necessarily align with the Foundation's primary strategies.

on January 11, 2013 - 1:00 AM
If any verse in the Bible would convince me that some Scriptures must not be taken literally, it would be Revelation 21:25. In describing the new, heavenly city, we are told: "There will be no night there." I can't get along without night!
Darkness and night are often used as symbolic representations of evil. We are told that "…people loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:19) Let's for the moment escape from that kind of figurative speech, and think how wonderful it is when the day ends, the sun goes down, and the quiet shadows of night bring an end to the work of the day.
"Day is done. Gone the sun. From the lake, from the hills, from the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh." (Taps.)
One year I was a counselor at a junior high camp in a mountainous setting. Some of the young people were from the city. One night I stepped outside our cabin late at night with a young boy and he looked up at the sky. Millions of stars were visible; the Milky Way was spread out and the Big Dipper was bright. He gasped and exclaimed: "I never saw the stars before!"
When I was a boy in the South, I slept much of the year in a screened back porch. As the light faded, the large trees in the distance blended together until they looked like a mountain. I spent many a night gazing at those mountains until sleep came. And if there was a lightning storm, no Fourth of July fireworks display could ever equal it.
Once we get away from competing lights, we sometimes see a falling star or even the Northern Lights if we are very lucky. Perhaps a comet streaks across the sky.
If we go to bed in peace, sometimes before sleep comes there are thoughts and memories that comfort or inspire us.
Several times I have had a thought that was so important to me that I got out of bed and wrote it down, because I was afraid once I went to sleep again I would forget it.
When we deprive ourselves of sleep we don't give our brains the chance to provide some guidance from our subconscious. Or, to put that a different way, to listen to God.
Why do we fight going to bed so much when we are younger? Fortunately, as one ages, bedtime becomes more desirable. And nothing enhances restful sleep more than darkness.
Psalm 127:2 says that God "… giveth his beloved sleep." But another translation of that same verse reads "… he gives to his beloved in sleep." I think both are true. And night makes sleep easier, at least for most people. I don't want any lights at all.
Some years ago, Smithsonian magazine had an article about night, reminding us that before electricity it was truly dark at night, darker than we may ever experience. People went to bed at sunset, but often arose in the middle of the night for a few hours, then went back to bed again. In those quiet times there was danger from thieves, but also time for wonderful, unrushed conversations.
No, I wouldn't want a heaven without night. As the day comes to an end, let's be grateful for the repose that is the gift of a darkened sky.

It doesnt have the best reputation and pretty much every kid who goes there will have some sort of complaint about it but a lot of them secretly love it because of the diversity and easy going environment. its unlike other highschools in that the kids can actually become friends with the teachers and there really isnt much of a social ladder.

It appears the new mom made a decision, as her next Tweet said, "I think [we're] going to see #TheWolfofWallStreet. It looks so good! Congrats to @mrrizaaziz @joeymcfarland @redgranitepics."
Eight hours later, it was long-awaited party time for Kardashian and her besties.

A Springville woman pleaded guilty before Concord Town Court Judge Leslie Gibbin to disorderly conduct and was ordered to make $100 restitution to the owners of the Concord Crest Golf Course, the business from which she admitted stealing receipts, Court Clerk Amy Schosek told The Buffalo News.
Don and Gail Ploetz, the husband and wife-owners of the golf course, told a News reporter Monday that they believe Jeanne M. Feldman, 63, a former Springville Griffith Institute secretary, may have stolen considerably more in receipts in the eight years she worked for them.
After they filmed her pocketing $100 in receipts and fired her last August, that was the only amount for which prosecutors would take her to court, the couple said.
"It's disheartening for all of us at Concord Crest. We value honesty and integrity, something Feldman obviously does not," Don Ploetz said. "To take a paycheck from us with one hand and steal with the other, well that kind of betrayal is hard to grasp," he said.
Gail Ploetz said she and her husband "built our business from the ground up while mortgaging everything we have."
Erie County sheriff's deputies arrested Feldman last August, two months after Gail Ploetz said she videotaped her taking $100 "on an $800 day" of sales at the course. She said Feldman "put in for her retirement" the day of her arrest and later offered to pay back $3,800 if the golf course owners agreed not to press charges.
She said an attorney representing Feldman last year offered an $8,500 payback if the case was dropped.
"We still said no," Gail Ploetz said, because she wanted the incident to be known to the public.
"I sat in the court once a month for six months," she said, before the case resulted Jan. 14 in the disorderly conduct plea.
