Idea to use site as inmate reporting center rebuked by mayor, crowd
May 16, 2013
The saga of a former Catholic church, eyed as a possible site for an inmate day reporting center, has erupted into a fervor with the faithful and city leadership upset of any hint that the......
Probably the thing that irks me the most is that no one bothers to ask the human people who actually live in the block where the former church is what they think nor do the brainiacs consider how their ideas might effect our daily lives...it's called respect, courtesy, morals, consideration....think about it before you put it out there and how would you like it in your neighborhood? I doubt city council members are ever in this area and if they are, not for long....enough said for now.

I'm beyond hearing this neighborhood labeled as being that. Williamsport needs to stop handing out "freebies." I pay taxes, I don't sponge off the system, but I also don't have to tolerate the profanity, drug trafficing and prostitution and other crimes that occur 24/7. It's not about who thought of what, it's not about who to blame for it becoming this way. It's about pride and respect, not greed and money. Clearly there is a significant need in many areas to help those less fortunate, but positive improvement needs to be put into place. If as much time was spent moneywise and other into complaining about the problems already in place ...the amount of energy could be put to better use improving the area(s), making it a more positive environment, give those who need to make changes in their lives a purpose to be here instead of handing them a 30-day pass to roam the streets and continue down the wrong path.

I could rant on here for hours about this church, iy's location, etc. I can't at the moment. I live in this area; the articles I have read, the gatherings I have seen to debate the use of the building...it's agonizing to say the least. Kudos to the Police Dept. yes, they know the area well and it's NOT PRETTY and it's challenging and difficult to live here. The crime is endless. Stop blaming the former mayor for what already exists. City Council, in my opinion doesn't care, they don't live here 24/7 and their lives are rosey and peaseful. I have my own thoughts and suggestions about the building's use and I have expressed them to the Catholic Diocese of Scranton. I intend to continue to be involved and to put my two cents into this. It's way past time that people in Williamsport stop allowing Billtown to be a dumping pot for crime and undesirables. Real human people live on Park Avenue and we have lived with the thought that "oh, that end of town."

The biggest problem with our city council is that they're all dinosaurs, they have no idea what's best for the people today, it seems all about making this place a tourist attraction rather than making it safe for the families and citizens alike that live here.

What current comeback are we talking about here? Yep, I see all the tourist attractions being built.. but beyond that, have you watched the news lately or are you just choosing to ignore the reality of the rapidly growing shooting rate? The crime in this city is spiraling out of control and most of it can be tied to drugs. This, crime wise, is the worst I've ever seen this city. It'll never be like it was in the 80's when I was a toddler again. At least not until we have a better, smarter, less greedy City Council.

You don't owe Jesse Bloom an apology. She supported it just as strongly as the City Council.
@USMC, I know what you were saying and I wasn't disagreeing with you, just sharing my point of view on it. But I agree, in a perfect world, the best thing to happen would be for someone else to purchase it and use it as a Church.

i also was blaming jessie bloom for the problem that aroused in this city many years ago but now i relized it was the council also rember the mayor can not do nothing with out there aproval so jessie bloom i owe you an apology for blaming it all on you but your still part of the blame

Wwhickok.. I understand that its just a building and that it's the people that make the congregation. I was merely stating that the fact that closing the church to begin with was a heart breaking blow to many faithful parishioners. Its no different than when a church burns down and the pain and anguish that causes. There are plenty of other empty buildings in this city that can be researched. In fact there is a large empty grocery store across the street. I personally would love to see another denomination purchase the property and leave it as a place of worship.

Jobeeb, you do know where this property is located correct? It is neither downtown or in a thriving neighborhood.

Having enjoyed the thriving downtown as a child in the 70's, and witnessed the destruction of it in the last 20 years, I'm so proud its current comeback. So many people benefit from a revitalized downtown, please continue supporting ours and say no to the day reporting center. Side note: I'm not a church go'er but a supporter of the community!

As a citizen of the city and supporter of the positive renovations occurring in the downtown area I'm shocked to think that the county commissioners would consider opening a day reporting center in the heart of the downtown revitalization and surrounding developing areas. Our city has seen positive improvement in recent years with the help of local officials, and businesses willing to invest; but the ball is just getting started. Already we have a movie theater, The Community Arts, an array of restaurants, specialty stores, book store, art gallery and a department store. These places have given people reasons to enjoy our historic downtown and see the endless opportunities that still exist. Careful planning by the city and private business must be encouraged to promote a healthy, sustainable environment for the area and the people. I'm hopeful community members, as well as people who come "to town" to enjoy all that it offers, see the pitfalls in such a center.

Or people would admit that it takes strong, compassionate people to use a church to try to change the lives of people who have followed the wrong path. Listen, USMC, I completely understand what you're saying and I can appreciate that. But at the end of the day the Church isn't what harnesses your faith, it's a building, made with brings, where people USED TO GO to "express"/worship their faith. Faith isn't something that is going to be killed off by the changing of a buildings' use. Frankly it's not materialistic at all. The religious part of this, I feel, despite it being a church(being religious in form) is being given too much priority.

What some people aren't taking into consideration is the feelings of the generations of families that worshiped at this church. As a former member who served mass for 12 years growing up, I believe that most of the bitterness is directed at the Bishop in Scranton. To close the church doors to many longtime faithful parishioners only to possibly open them for something like this is a slap in the face. Monsignor Castellano would be rolling over in his grave.

So if the county wanted to use the empty church on the otherside of the old BiLo building Gabe would be fine with it? Oh wait, I get it!!! There would be free parking at the church location, thus keeping money out of the WPA coffers. How come Gabe didn't complain when a closed church was converted to apartments?
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Shirly, I can mostly agree with your comments. I agree this is not the area to have a center like this, outside of the city I certainly would support it, though my toes are at the line of supporting it as it is right now. But I agree with what you're saying about not bringing more criminals to the area, it's opening up a can of worms.
However, I also don't see much else being done to improve the crime situation here in Williamsport.
My issue with the whole 'church' thing is that it overwhelmingly sounds as though the basis for how Campana feels about it is the fact that it's his childhood church, nothing more. I would hope that is inaccurate.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I find myself somewhat befuddled to be agreeing with young Gabe but this conversion idea for church is pitiful. I also think we need to consider what the Police Chief said. Not a good idea to put something like this in THIS area.
Finally, I must say Jessie Bloom is going to have a huge karmic debt for the degradation she inflicted on Wmspt. However, it's here now and we have to find a way to deal with it. Setting up yet ANOTHER place for criminals is NOT that way, IMHO, of course.

And for the record, I've said this multiple times in the past, I'd RATHER DEPORT all the criminals, violent and non-violent who came from other places (Philadelphia for example) back to where they came from. The problem is, there is no perfect solution.
In one hand you could suggest that not allowing something like this in the city is a way of not repeating Jesse Blooms mistakes, okay, that's fair. But what's the alternative? Doing nothing? C'mon now...you've got to be smarter than that.

If the county RENTS the building, doesn't it go back on the tax roles?

"first of all hic**** dont u work for the state and are paid by the taxpayer for putting in a 3 hour day and getting paid for 8??"
I wanted to go back to this for a second.
First of all, NO I DO NOT work for the State. Secondly NO I AM NOT paid via the taxpayer. Secondly, I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, I used to work in a factory (Shop vac), so I'm fortunate to have a slightly easier job these days, but I'm still working for what little of a paycheck I get. So the notion that I don't carry the burden of paying for Williamsport Taxes is ridiculous and offensive. Next time, perhaps you should ask me why I feel the way I do, instead of assuming you already know.

personal ties to the church, as well as the crowd that also opposed the idea.
We weren't born yesterday Mr. Mayor, stop treating us like we were. Politicians work based on agenda's, more often than not, personal agenda's. They lie and some of them even cheat and steal. So skepticism is the first thing you're going to encounter. You're not "Just a citizen, father, and husband", you're also someone who is supposed to be in a position of power, so you're supposed to use that power responsibily. The sooner you start doing so, the better off this city will be. From a Tourist perspective you're doing a great job. From a citizen perspective, you haven't done much at all.

Foxy, you're right about Jesse Bloom, I've brought that up before, however, yes Campana can do something about it now. For starters, they can close the Rehab Centers and ship them all the h3ll back where they came from.
This morning I spoke to the Mayor about this whole issue, first of all, as usual, he doesn't handle criticism very well. Secondly, I'm glad to know he reads the comments we post here ;)
It really does all start with putting a stop to the influx of these kind to begin with. If the government is willing to bring them here, they can't turn their back on them when they have an opportunity to potentially change things for the better.
Oh and the Mayor is right, he does have 1st amendment rights too so he is allowed to oppose this, but based on the article, he's doing it for the wrong reasons. If the issue was as simple as 'if the church were located outside of the city I'd support it' I'd be less critical, but it's not. This is an issue of the Mayor having

Mim, what the h3ll are you talking about I work 3 hours a day? I work a full time job and support a wife and son thank you very much. While I agree with you on the whole Section 8 thing, this, for me, is about the fact that the opposition to this idea is based seemingly solely on the fact it's a church.

Put the blame where it belongs, Jessie Bloom is responsible for the present condition of Williamsport. I remember when she fought long and hard to make the city a "rehab center", and this influx of released ex-offenders and in some cases, their families is the end result of her efforts. Can you say "20-20 hindsight"? Is Campana or anyone able to do anything about it now?

In his most recent mock draft, ESPN analyst Todd McShay has the Buffalo Bills taking West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith with the eighth overall pick.
But if Smith's not there, McShay was asked Friday on a conference call with reporters, should the Bills stay with a quarterback? Would Ryan Nassib, who played under new Bills coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett at Syracuse, make sense at No. 8?
McShay was far from sold on the idea.
"I'll be totally honest, I gave them a quarterback just because it didn't feel right to finish a whole first round and not have one," McShay said. "Listen, I like Ryan Nassib a lot. I think he has a chance to develop into a great backup and there's an outside chance he can become a solid starter. But to use the eighth overall pick on Ryan Nassib, I think, would be a big mistake."
That's because McShay is of the belief that the 2013 class does not contain elite quarterback talent. In fact, Scouts Inc. has just Smith among its top 32 prospects, at No. 30.
That leaves the Buffalo Bills in an interesting position heading into this week's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, given General Manager Buddy Nix's stated goal of adding a rookie to his team's quarterback mix.
Nix will lead the Bills' contingent in Indianapolis, joined by assistant GM Doug Whaley, team President Russ Brandon and Marrone. Workouts by position begin Saturday, with quarterbacks set to throw next Sunday.
"I think when it's all said and done one or more wind up going in the first round," McShay said. "There were a lot of people last year who had second-round grades on [Ryan] Tannehill, but still would have taken him just because of the nature of the position."
With no clear pecking order among quarterbacks, several of the top prospects at the position – including Smith, Nassib and Southern Cal's Matt Barkley – have declared in the last week that they'll take part in every drill at the combine as they look to separate themselves.
That's good news for quarterback-needy teams like the Bills, who have a lot of work to do in sorting out signal-callers. Also in the mix to be the first quarterback selected in April are N.C. State's Mike Glennon and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, while players like Tennessee's Tyler Bray, Florida State's EJ Manuel and Oklahoma's Landry Jones lead the second tier.
"We don't usually change our mind about a guy, but the combine provides you with the opportunity to learn a little bit more about what he can do – maybe how good he can do it," Nix told The Buffalo News, speaking of all players, not just quarterbacks. "Again, it is just a piece of the puzzle. The basis of our evaluations remains on playing and production.
"You also want to see how a guy handles himself under that kind of pressure and the combine provides that opportunity as well. That is a lot more than just the running, jumping and that kind of stuff."
McShay's advice to the Bills when their turn comes in the first round?
"Forget quarterback," he said. "There's just so many other really good football players to draft in this class, other players and positions that the Bills need.
"The Bills need depth and an upgrade at wide receiver, at linebacker, at guard, at cornerback. You can look at all those positions and say … that there are guys that are worth drafting, regardless of position, because they're better football players."
McShay mentioned Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree, Alabama guard Chance Wormack and his Crimson Tide teammate, cornerback Dee Milliner, as players he'd consider better picks at eighth overall than a quarterback.
"If Dee Milliner's there, why not draft a really good cornerback coming out of Alabama where there's a good track record and he's well-coached and upgrade that position and then go in the second round and try and get your quarterback there," McShay said. "That would be the way I attack it, but it's awfully easy for me to say, because I'm not staring at another season with a quarterback that we're not thrilled with."
The schedule of workouts for prospects is as follows: Saturday – tight ends, offensive linemen, special teams; Feb. 24 – quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers; Feb. 25 – Defensive linemen, linebackers; Feb. 26 – Defensive backs. Workouts will be aired live on NFL Network.

Baseball Drops Series Opener At Toledo, 5-0
TOLEDO, Ohio - The Ball State baseball team was limited to just three hits Friday afternoon by Toledo left-hander Ryan Wilkinson as the Cardinals dropped the series opener to the Rockets 5-0 at Scott Park in Mid-American Conference play.
Wilkinson led the MAC West Division-leading Rockets to victory as he posted a complete-game shutout of the Cardinals, only facing 29 batters on the afternoon. He struck out nine batters improving Toledo to 10-6 in league play.
Sophomore right-hander T.J. Weir (Kokomo, Ind./Kokomo) was the hard-luck loser for the Cardinals as he allowed four runs, only two of which were earned, in 7.0 innings of work. Weir limited the Rockets to just four hits on the afternoon while striking out seven to fall to 2-7 on the season while the Cardinals dropped to 6-10 in MAC play.
Toledo (21-21) opened the scoring quickly tallying three runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Rockets took advantage of a balk call on Weir to score the first run of the game and scored another run on a BSU throwing error in a rundown attempt between third base and home. The Rockets made it a 4-0 contest with another unearned run as Ball State opened the inning with a fielding error and that runner eventually scored as Dan Zuchowski lifted a sacrifice fly.
Ball State (11-27) was held to just three hits in the loss as Weir singled in the first inning, Billy Wellman (Portland, Ind./Jay County) doubled in the seventh inning and Dominick Catanzarite (Fort Wayne, Ind./Carroll) singled in the eighth inning. The Cardinals only got a runner into scoring twice in the game as Wellman reached second on his double and Elbert Devarie (Kissimmee, Fla./Gateway) reached second base in the third inning after a walk.
Ball State and Toledo will continue its three-game series Saturday afternoon with first pitch set for 1 p.m. Junior right-hander Chris Marangon (Maple Valley, Wash./Edmunds CC) is set to start for the Cardinals.

The three eccentric, ambitious and funny sisters Rosensweig gather in a posh London townhouse to celebrate a birthday and lots of unexpected fireworks ensue.
"The Sisters Rosensweig" centers on three accomplished American Jewish sisters who reunite for a birthday dinner where unexpected guests, romance and sibling rivalry set off unexpected land mines and unexpectedly sky rockets the evening's entertainment.
The late Pulitzer Prize-winner Wendy Wasserstein received the William Inge Award for Distinguished Achievement in American Theatres for this play and is one of America's best loved playwrights.
Fun Fact: In South of Broadway's production the 'Sisters' are all played by actresses named Linda (or Lynda). They are played by the highly accomplished and local favorites: Linda Eisen, Linda Esposito and Linda Harvey-Carter.
The play is directed by South of Broadway's (SOBTC) Artistic Director, Mark Gorman, whose work consistently receives high praise. Past accomplishments includes "Season to Season" (co-production with Contemporary Theatre Lab), "The Last Flapper," "More Fun Than Bowling," "Gideon's Knot" and most recently "No Exit".
"Mark Gorman is clearly expert at knowing how to use every inch of the stage from an infinite number of angles." - Charlestontoday.net, Carol Furtwangler, 9/13
The sisters Rosensweig are three extraordinary Brooklyn-born Jewish women. Sara is managing director of the European branch of an international bank and she lives an ostensibly happy, man-free-life in London with her intelligent daughter, Tess. Pfeni is an eccentric travel writer who pursues an unsatisfactory relationship with Geoffrey, a bisexual theatre director. And Gorgeous (the role for which Madeline Kahn won a Tony in the 1993 Broadway production) has the perfect husband and family in Massachusetts, where she pursues a "funsy" career as an advice-giving radio show host.
When the sisters meet up at Sara's house in Holland Park, London to celebrate her 54th birthday, reawakened familial bonds cause each women to confront her past and her future. This self-exploration is sometimes painful, but the reunion is made very interesting by the arrival of the New Yorker, Merv, a furrier who takes a shine to Sara. Falling in love at 54 is not impossible, but who said it was meant to be easy?
The performances are at South of Broadway Theatre Company, 1080 E. Montague Avenue (in the Olde Village Park Circle Area), North Charleston Oct. 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, at 7:30 p.m. and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20. All shows are $18.

countdowns to teasers actually happen a lot in the tech world. I've seen a couple video game publishers put up a countdown site, then only show a teaser when that is done and we still dont know wtf they are working on

46. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
too bad the rest of the android users on this site don't see that this phone has turned them in to sheep as well...
its like we all forgot how android operates... this phone will be replaced by another android phone "moto, htc, samsung" within the next 3 or 4 months... this is the nature of android...
you guys are bragging over this phone like this phone will last as #1 for two years. as much as we embrace new technology and better specs we'll forget about this phone in 6 months tops.
52. Carlitos (Posts: 514; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
chances are this phone wont be replaced by another phone for a while. Look at the SGS2 for example. It didn't really meet its match until the end of 2011, when the Motorola Droid Razr came out. And the SGS2 came out about 8-9 months before.
But yeah people are becoming sheep over this phone
54. frydaexiii (Posts: 1443; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Please, the Razr doesn't beat the SGS2, there are still aspects of the Droid Razr other than size that doesn't beat the SGS2.
And you're not a sheep if you follow a phone, you're a sheep if you still go bat s**t crazy over a phone with outdated specs and minor upgrades. If Samsung released the SGS2 Skyrocket as the SGS3 and we still go crazy for it, then yeah, feel free to call us sheep, if not we're just fans who can't wait.
89. mrochester (unregistered)
It's interesting to note the apparent double standards at play here. Apple users waiting for the new iPhone are "sheep", but Samsung/Android users waiting for the new Galaxy phone are "just fans". I think you should quit while you're ahead and just accept that either both groups of people are "sheep", or both are "just fans".
91. frydaexiii (Posts: 1443; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Dude, read my damn comment...What double standards? Samsung did not release the SGS+ as the SGS2 right? That's the diffrrence, Apple can release such a minorly upgeaded phone as their next big phone and people still go crazy for it, they are followers and sheep. If Samsung had released the SGS+ as the SGS2, rest assured even the Samsung fanboys would rage. They wouldn't switch their mindset just because apple says so
92. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
lol an s-sheep trying to make an excuse
93. mrochester (unregistered)
I don't see any difference. All iPhones have been a big step up in hardware to the one before. In fact, I'd say that the smallest jump in spec was between the original iPhone and the 3G. All Apple did there was add 3G and modify the design of the device. The 3GS introduced a more powerful CPU/GPU/RAM and better camera. The 4 introduced a more powerful CPU/GPU/RAM, camera, design and screen. The 4S introduced a more powerful CPU/GPU and camera.
So I don't think we've got to a point yet where we can see the effects of Apple releasing only a "minorly upgraded" phone as it hasn't happened up until now. The nearest you're going to get is to look back at the iPhone 3G.

27. mrochester (unregistered)
Obviously the irony of switching from being an "iSheep" to a "Galaxy Sheep" is lost on Samsung. They are certainly hyping this thing to the stratosphere. By all accounts, that means the S3 should be a huge flop since Android users don't seccumb to hype or marketing in any shape or form... Or more realistically, this will be exceedingly popular because it's being hyped and marketted like crazy.
29. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Well galaxy has become a really popular brand, its probably the most selling Android smartphone right now. Can you explain how this could be a flop? The biggest lack Android has to produce more sales is better marketing. You are right geeks don't listen to marketing they look for specks so far S3 has them. Marketing us for the average guy . The guy that wants people to ask then what phone is that .and the average user that looks for something they like. Differentiation is something even Nokia mocked other users with its beta test thing. Its because people don't want to have what everyone has. And if the phone I saw was the closest to the final unit it will have an unique look .
So can you explain the flop?
33. mrochester (unregistered)
Apologies if you are not a native English speaker, I was in fact being sarcastic. The point I was making is that Android devices aren't exceedingly popular because of some inherent pro of the platform (such as specs or being "open"), they are popular because they are hyped and marketted to the hilt, just like the iPhone is.
I also don't agree that geeks look only at the specs. I'm a geek and I certainly don't just look at the specs. The hardware specification of a device is but one of the many different facets of a modern smartphone. You need to consider all facets before deciding what to buy, not just one.
37. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
advertising isnt even on my list of reasons to buy something. I dont watch regular TV (netflix only..FTW!), so im not innundated with commercials
Specs (processor, GPU, Screen, camera)
openness to hardware/software hacking
For the last 2 generations, samsung galaxy has lead in all of those. The SGS2 is the highest scoring android phone there is, and both the SGS1 and SGS2 are the highest selling android phones in existance.
It is safe to say that they are the "apple" of the android world as far as hype goes. But unlike apple, they bring huge generational leaps in power along with the hype.
63. mrochester (unregistered)
I'm much the same in that I don't buy anything based on hype or marketing; I buy things on the merits of the product itself.
Apple usually always bring big changes with their hype, and it's usually in the shape of both hardware and software experiences. I think it's remiss of you to suggest that Apple haven't brought anything beneficial to the market. The original iPhone itself, the App Store, the iPad, high resolution "retina" displays etc, are all generation leaps that Apple have brought to the market.
Thinking about it, I'm actually less aware of what "leaps" Samsung have actually brought to the market. In fact, I can't really think of anything that Samsung have done in recent times that has shaped and directed the entire market.
68. mrochester (unregistered)
As a reply to myself, the only trend I can think of that Samsung have started in recent times is the trend towards ultra-large screened devices.
77. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
there is also the 7' tablets and the camera's on tabs to mention something else
81. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
that would make you a fanboy the mrochester.
big changes from apple?
Retina display was made by LG. Apple just marketed it for them.
All that glorious hardware that makes the iphone and ipad so smooth? Made by Samsung.
Who makes that wonderful ipad3 screen? Samsung
Apple is not known for big changes. They are known for incrimental changes. They are known for being safe with their upgrades and not taking chances on new technology. They are not normally first to a new technology (retina was one of the few). They are known for ease of use and a perceived quality.
Yet, none of the stuff, save retina, was new from apple. They did what they did best.. took existing technology and put it out in a different way.
Dont confuse apples massive hype machine and brilliant advertising with bringing new things to market
85. mrochester (unregistered)
I think you're perhaps confusing invention with innovation. They are 2 different things. You don't have to invent something to be innovative. You've even said it yourself in this very post '...took exisiting technology and put it out in a different way.' That is innovation right there!
42. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
What I mean by specks is that users look for many aspects of a device before buying, not advertising.
Also I disagree Android has the worst advertising system I've seen . Have you seen a good commercial lately? A commercial showing what the device does .they are rare
64. mrochester (unregistered)
I think most users probably go for the device they think looks nice (this is the unfortunate reality and sorry state of the market).
The devices I see advertised the most are Samsung Galaxy phones. I remember one particular bus stop billboard extolling the "magically bright" screen of the SGS2 (or something to that effect) and I immediately thought that Samsung must have been following the Apple bible when they devised that advertisement!
76. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I still think Samsung is way behind when it comes to AD campaign compared with apple, also was the sing an ATT sing or did it belonged to Samsung, that could be a good question.
average consumer wont do their homework because they aren't tech savvy, whey don't check details well look forward to because they don't know anything to being with.
I´ll give you an example, while I´m a mobile Geek and use lots of car analogy I don't know a thing about cars, if a car says it saves money per galon I´ll get that over a car that does not save money per gallon but I don't care that I save 10 more cents with another car, I dont care that your AC reduces 90% of bacteria or that it has built in GPS to me a car is a car, it moves me from point A to point B with the least number of issues as possible. I don't care that your car shape makes it more efficient, but if I like the shape of a car I get that shape. why because I just want a car.
same thing happens with people they don't want to do lots of research to buy a device, the screen is nice? the phone is fast? many apps and games? how good it is? SOLD to the point android police tried educating people after seeing T-mobile selling a crappy LG phone for $89 and recommended the Galaxy smartphone that was $79 where it was different? the galaxy was faster and overall better but I know people who bough the LG device, lucky got them to change their minds and have them changed for a better phone

LEWISTOWN - Ever since Molly Kinney was a little kid, she knew that something amazing happened when you read. Whether is was a delicious dinner when her mom read a recipe or a new sweater when her grandma read a crochet pattern, she knew that reading led to something important.
"Somehow, early on, I realized that there was something really special about reading and the written word," Kinney said. "And I think that kind of guided me, even though it wasn't until I was in a PhD program that I began to intellectually understand that."
Raised in Juniata County, Kinney traveled between Pennsylvania and Florida earning her bachelor's and master's degrees in library science, as well as a doctorate in the same subject. She has worked for public libraries in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas as well as the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh.

Molly Kinney, new director at the Mifflin County Library, checks in returned books on Thursday at the library in Lewistown.
After going into retirement - or so she thought - Kinney returned to the area to be near her family, but quickly realized she missed the library environment and the intellectual interaction that went along with it.
"If you're a librarian 'cause you love to read, you're in the wrong business. Libraries are about people," Kinney said. "I missed that interaction with people and that mental stimulation. Even though I was involved in a gazillion volunteer activities, I had spent 32 years of my life as a librarian. I needed to be back in libraries."
It's certainly an exciting time to get involved as director of the Mifflin County Library, Kinney said. The traditional programs that libraries are noted for and the opportunity to go in many different directions makes the job a joy and a challenge, she said.
"We are becoming the 'any time, any place' library because we have four walls and we'd love you to visit, but you can get online anywhere and use our resources, download an ebook or use our databases," Kinney said. "The library is now about empowering people to find the information or the recreational reading that they want."
Kinney said she would like people to think of the Mifflin County Library first as an informational and referral resource, describing it as "the Google of Mifflin County."
"It's a wonderful goal to have because you'll never achieve it," Kinney said. "That's really exciting to me - rather than seeing it as something unreachable, it's something we can always work toward."
Kinney also plans to extend the adult programming offered at the library with personal interest technology workshops that involve the use of online sites such as Facebook and eBay, as well as how-to's of downloading books onto a Kindle or Nook, she said.
To further support the community, Kinney is also looking into the addition of resume writing and Microsoft Office workshops. Often times, entrepreneurs and small business people don't have a full working knowledge of how to use Microsoft tools that could make their lives easier, she said.
"The library has simply not had the opportunity to do some of these programs in the past, but it's my fervent hope that we will get started in the near future," Kinney said. "I hope to bring a sense of excitement and empowerment to the library and staff so we can be all we can."
A calendar of current child and adult programming is available on the Mifflin County Library website at www.mifflincountylibrary.org. The library is opened from noon to 8 p.m. on Monday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday to Saturday and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Freedoms deteriorate as government gains power
January 23, 2013
I was born shortly before World War II. All I knew about the war was the Nazis and Japanese wanted to capture us. The atrocities inflicted on their captives were inhuman and sadistic....
Thank you for your service, but you are completely off your rocker. Your generation embraced socialism to an extent that dwarfs any other (um, Social Security, Medicare, public education, the GI Bill...). If that is what you snidely call 'socialism' then fine, lets have it. It built one of the most productive, prosperous nations in the history of the planet. Oh, and guess what? It remains so today.

Just goes to show you that America's words and ideas have rarely been consistently implemented.
I think largely to our detriment when it comes to: increasing central planning, expanding central government, and lessening individual liberty.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I can see your intent through your inferences, however, individuals already possessed most of those liberties in the last 50 years.
Your examples must be classified as: 1) government-sanctioned abuse or 2) individual liberty between the interaction of two private citizens.
What you are actually pointing out is that certain Classes or Groups of people have attained certain actions (sometimes special rights) often at the expense of individual liberty and private property rights of others. In the case of your #4, if you intended Abortion, then it is at the expense of another human life.
Where it was strictly government-sanctioned discrimination falling under my #1, then it should be abolished and equality sought.
We have gone way past that, however.
And now, though some of the goals had merit, the methodology used has been (and will prove to be) largely detrimental to all.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Again, if your idea of "liberty" increased by more government mandates over private interactions among people, then NO, Liberty did not increase for more.
It can gain slightly in some places (for Classes/Groups not individuals) and wane greatly in other places for all individuals.
Overall, a net loss.
And, definitely a loss when one considers your #4 inference of Abortion where an innocent human life is being destroyed for the "liberty" sought by another.

Let me ask you this:
If you owned a restaurant and one of your waiters kept yelling at customers and so you fired him. Did anyone lose Liberty in that scenario?
Now, if a government agency came in and told you that you couldn't fire that employee because he had the medical condition of "anger-management syndrome" Did anyone lose Liberty in that scenario?
See the difference between "lessening individual liberty" and "expanding central government"?

The title of the letter had promise in it so I read it. I'm quite disappointed with the fear and scolding this obviously elderly person tried to express. What I was looking for was an admonishment of government policies such as "the patriot act." THAT is the vehicle used where individual liberties and freedoms are being taken away and the constitution trounced upon. People say.. "I have nothing to hide so I have no worry" are comfortable with the government being able to read your mail/email and listen to your intimate conversations via telephone or internet based processes...

... the same people who scream "2nd ammendment!!!!" "the government is comming to take your guns!!!!" are eerily silent when it comes to the unreasonable searches conducted in the name of "national security." Democrats are just as bad as the redumblicans in this matter. President Obama will never give up the power grabbed for his office by his predecessor. No president will cede power gained. It is not this president or the next that I worry about with abuse of this power. It is the president 50 years from now who will probably take the power granted to the extreme and abuse it. These are the freedoms given away and will never be returned. Power granted in fear to a lying administration who took us to war to make money for their friends

No, no one lost Liberty in a private transaction among two willing parties. If I have two cookies and refuse to give one to you, have you lost Liberty?

Squirm, what planet are you living on? Our freedoms are being taken away by the handful every single day. I can't buy milk from a cow. I can't go to the airport without being groped. I could technically be held indefinitely without due process, or even killed, if someone implies that I'm maybe perhaps looking at something on the internet that I shouldn't be. My second amendment rights are clearly in jeopardy. By supporting Ron Paul, I'm likely on some FBI list somewhere. Our freedoms are being stripped away quickly and furiously in the name of security - which is a facade in the first place. So civil liberties have made progress. That's great. Individual freedoms, however, will soon be a thing of the past. I am so frightened about the future of this country.

The Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack is so user-friendly, he's more like Neighbor Joe 3.
The KingJoe Pro 3 is Yakima's burliest strap-mount bike rack yet. KingJoe the Third, the rear-mounting rack, didn't gain his title by inheritance. He earned it with his six-strap system and ability to fit a vast range of vehicle trunks. In fact, the KingJoe Pro 3 fits more trunks than any other Yakima strap-mount rack. The KingJoe Pro 3 also holds a wide variety of bikes, and carries up to three of them. Yakima's Quick Trigger Hub System makes installing this ruler-of-bikes as easy as pie. King Joe's padded feet protect his royal carriage's paint job, and his folding arms make him easy to store. *If you're not sure the KingJoe Pro 3 will fit your car or bike, feel free to call one of our knowledgeable gearheads.

Nice rack!!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a great bike rack. It's very sturdy and easy to adjust. It's also simple to put on and remove from your car or truck. It's, to me, the perfect rack.
Will this rack work on a 2015 Mini Cooper Countryman? If not, any recommendations? Thank you!
Awesome hatch rack!

Threw this on my girlfriend's 2013 Subaru Impreza hatchback. Super sturdy, easy to install, and gives you some "Yak" cred on the road! Love it.

Hi - i'm curious will the king joe 3 fit a VW T5 Multivan? or VW T5 Transporter? these are just vans with large tailgates, but not sure if it'd fit... thanks
The T5 isn't listed in Yakima's online fit guide, but the Eurovan is, and the King Joe is compatible with that. The strap system used with the King Joe alloys it to fit most vehicles.

dented car, tough fit for some bikes
Used the KingJoe Pro 3 on the back of a 2011 Subaru Outback with three bikes - 1 adult mountain bike, 1 adult small women's hybrid and 1 kids 24". The lower support area which meets the vehicle just below the license plate left a sizeable dent in the gate. The mountain bike fit fine but bikes with angled top tubes are tough. It's difficult to not have the handle bars from one bike sticking through the spokes of the other.
Unfortunately, I can relate, GS. Last month, we hauled 2 adult bikes and one kid's on a 700 mile round trip and found three softball-size dents in the bottom of the liftgate on our 2012 Outback. Between car door dings and two damaging hailstorms, I can attest that the body on the Outback is not nearly as rugged as the rest of the car. But I'd still expect the King Joe Pro to spread the load a bit better to reduce the potential car damage.

How is the Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 different from the KingJoe?
The Super Joe series has cradles but the arm that holds the bikes is the same arm that extends out and rests on the top of the trunk.
The result: you cant spread the arms as far apart so this mount has less of a chance of fitting a car with, say, a spoiler. Also on the Super Joe are tubular pads that protect your car from the support arms. The King Joe is our premium mount replete with cradles and triangular pads that have a softer material and because they are triangular, fit your car better. The King Joe also has 3 independent arms so that you have a wider range of spread. It also allows you to fold down the load arms when empty of bikes.
Does the job
Quickly straps to my 2003 VW GTI (Golf) and carries my bike with ease. PROS: Very sturdy, durable, well built, easily adjusted, easy to use, folds into self when you aren't carrying bikes. CONS: My full-suspension bike (Santa Cruz) won't slide past the first set of straps/mounts due to the suspension/frame design. Rack carries 3 Road bikes O.K., but 3 mountain bikes isn't easily done. I'm sure the construction would carry the weight, it's a matter of room when it comes to carrying them. Has plenty of room for 2 mtn bikes though. Overall, I would buy this again and recommend it.

Will this fit a '99 Honda Accord with factory spoiler?
This rack should fit the 4 door model, but not the 2 door according to Yakima's fit guide. Also, I believe the rack should wrap over the spoiler and fit nicely.

KCRA 3 News was the top choice for news during the 2013 May sweeps period in the household ratings, reaching more viewers in the Sacramento region than any other station.
"KCRA 3 News has always been dedicated to giving viewers the best choice for news and information," said KCRA 3 and KQCA My58 President and General Manager Elliott Troshinsky. "I am proud that viewers continue to choose our stations, KCRA.com and KCRA Mobile to stay informed, no matter what time of day it is or where they are."
"At a time when people can get their news from so many places and platforms, we are honored that KCRA News continues to dominate newscasts across the board," said KCRA 3 News Director Lori Waldon. "It's a testament to the trust our viewers place in our news team."
KCRA 3 Morning News from 4:30am to 7am again dominated the mornings. KCRA 3 News at 4:30am delivers more Households than all other local 4:30am newscasts combined. From 5-6am KCRA 3 News more than triples its 2nd place competitor. KCRA 3 Morning News at 6am is the number one overall morning news and has nearly three times more Households than the next closest competitor.

Slip off your shoes and step onto a brand new $250,000 center console boat. Enjoy the intoxicating smell of freshly manufactured fiberglass, the soothing blue light from state-of-the-art cockpit LED displays, the glint off stainless steel propellers at the bottom of triple 350-horsepower outboards.
One can dream, right?
The Charleston Boat Show continues today at the North Charleston Convention Center, and there are vessels and tackle and gadgets galore, even for those lacking deep pockets.
Wandering around yesterday turned up a familiar and colorful cast of maritime characters — charter captains, anglers of all ages and a host of vendors — as well as all the latest must-haves for those of us with an eye for new gear.
Here are a few nifty pieces of fishing and boating tech that caught my eye this year.
Hybrid craft
Is it a kayak, a stand-up paddleboard or a high-tech little boat?
I don't know, but I want one.
Dragonfly Boatworks brought a variety of sleek custom craft up from Florida, including top-of-the-line fishing paddleboards and a 16-foot flats-fishing and duck-hunting vessel called the Emerger. The sexy little boat comes with a lift-up center console sporting shotgun holders. Admirers were overheard describing it as a "blast and splash."
Rock-a-bye baby
This novel contraption was a crowd favorite, especially with boating moms.
The Searock Baby Seat made its premier at the boat show, and appeared to be selling out quickly. The sturdy seat, manufactured in North Carolina, is designed to hang from a boat's T-top, but could easily be put to use at home on a porch or deck.
In the limelight
LED lights seemed to crop up almost everywhere in the higher-end boat designs: in cockpits, under gunwales, recessed into dashes and daisy-chained across control panels. Many manufacturers are even installing these small but powerful lights in boat hulls, so anglers can light up the nighttime ocean.
Powering up
Inboards are out. Powering up with the newest, lightest and most powerful outboard motors continues to be the rule.
Take the Rock Doc, a massive Contender pushing 40 feet and captained by Bobby Wiggins of Folly Beach. The boat, on sale and display at the show, can push 70 mph when the Rock Doc team competes in the SKA Yamaha Professional Kingfish Tour.
These miniaturized, high-resolution video cameras have quickly become ubiquitous in the local fishing community, and you could spot plenty of the cameras and accompanying gadgetry at the show.
Baiting brilliance
"Fish or cut bait," the saying goes. Looking at the luxurious bait station on the new Scout 320, I wasn't sure which was the better deal.
A sink and cutting board bookended a generous bait well, with beer and rod holders right there and plenty of tackle storage within reach.
What more could you want?
Boat show details
The show continues today from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tickets are $9 for adults, $4 for children 4-12.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Vince Vaughn
- 1986
Not Much of a Player
Outside of Chicago, Vince Vaughn plays football and wrestles in high school. "I didn't like it when they started yelling at you and started taking it real serious," he tells ESPN. "They were like, 'If you want it bad enough, run around the block,' and I realized that I didn't want it bad enough to run around the block." He turns to acting, lands a Chevrolet commercial, and moves to Hollywood in 1988.
- 1993
You're Money, Baby
While filming his first speaking role in the football flick Rudy, Vaughn meets costar Jon Favreau. They become quick pals. When Favreau writes Swingers, about a group of struggling actor pals, he uses Vaughn's real-life vernacular ("money," "honeys" and "babies") in his script. In 1996, Swingers becomes a low-budget, indie comedy with Vaughn starring as Trent Walker, a fast-talking, funny ladies' man.
- 1996
In Spielberg's Lost World
After seeing Vaughn in an early screening of Swingers, Steven Spielberg casts the unknown in his Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World. "It's so strange to think, 'Okay, I'm going to work with Steven Spielberg and Julianne Moore,'" Vaughn tells Entertainment Weekly. The blockbuster grosses nearly $93 million its opening weekend
- 1998
A Brief Romance
Vaughn stars as the single father of a five-year-old in the drama A Cool, Dry Place. While the film doesn't generate much buzz, it does result in a brief relationship between Vaughn and his onscreen love interest, Joey Lauren Adams. Adams will appear onscreen with Vaughn again in The Break-Up, where she plays Jennifer Aniston's best friend. That December, Vaughn takes on the role of creepy killer Norman Bates in director Gus Van Sant's remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic Psycho.
- 2001
Fist Swingers
In Wilmington, N.C. shooting Domestic Disturbances with John Travolta, Vaughn gets into a barroom brawl with several University of North Carolina students. Vaughn and three others are arrested, while costar Steve Buscemi, who is trying to break things up, is stabbed in the head, throat and arm and receives 35 stitches. "Vaughn was trying to fight everyone at once," a witness tells PEOPLE of the star who'll later reach a plea agreement that results in him undergoing alcohol counseling.
- 2003
Frat Pack
Costarring with Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson as a trio of thirtysomething guys who return to college to start their own fraternity in Old School, Vaughn reestablishes himself as a comic actor. "For a while before Old School came, I couldn't get any comedies," he tells the L.A. Times. "People would say 'Vince Vaughn's not funny' because I hadn't done anything since Swingers."
Happy Birthday, Here's a Bloody Nose
Celebrating his 33rd birthday at L.A.'s Standard Hotel, Vaughn is standing outside the venue's lounge at 2:15 a.m. waiting for a ride home when a surly patron insults him. "Mr. Vaughn looked at him strangely, and the guy punched him in the face," Deputy Donald Mueller of the West Hollywood sheriff's station tells PEOPLE. The suspect breaks free and runs while Vaughn ends his night of revelry with a bloody nose but no further damage.
- 2004
Mr. & Mrs. Smith & Me
Playing Brad Pitt's sidekick in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Vaughn gets a front row seat to the media frenzy over the burgeoning friendship between Pitt and costar Angelina Jolie. By the time the movie is released, Pitt and wife Jennifer Aniston have split, and PEOPLE has published shots of Pitt and Jolie rendezvousing in Africa.
- 2005
A Crashing Blockbuster
Vaughn and Owen Wilson crack each other up in the comedy Wedding Crashers with Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher. The film rakes in $209 million, becoming the second-highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time after Beverly Hills Cop.
Just Costars?
Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston shoot The Break-Up near his hometown, Chicago. They play a split-up couple who refuse to move out of their condo. Vaughn begins spending time with his costar off the set, but denies rumors of a romance. "She is having fun in Chicago with Vince and the whole cast and crew," Aniston's rep Stephen Huvane tells PEOPLE. "Nothing romantic."
