We are also familiar with Todd Bertuzzi. We know that he can score, he is a big body, he has great hands, and isn't afraid to drop the gloves.
I was doing some reading about theses two guys. I got to thinking, who would be a better fit for our team. It's a tough call. I know a lot of you don't think much of Bert, in large part because of he playoff preformace this year. But give the guy a break, he only played a handful of games this year. Next year he will be better. Ryan Smyth isn't anything flashy. He is basicly a smaller Homer who can skate better, and has a much better shot.
Between the two, I think I would take Smyth. Nothing against Bert, but with what the Wings would have to give up to sign him, I just can't say that I think he is worth it. I don't know what it would take to sign Smyth. No doubt it would be something close to what we signed Pav for. I don't know if that is really feasable. I know it is possible. If the Wings were to let Lang and Bert walk, it's very possible. Or even if they could get Bobby to re-up for around $2 per.
I think the biggest disadvantage with Bertuzzi is also his biggest advantage, you just don't know what you are getting. Are you going to get the Bert who isn't putting up much in these playoffs? Or you going to get the pre-Moore Bert who was as dominate as any power forward? I believe that Bert will be well within the Wings price range, but again, to give up more picks to sign him, I'm just not so sure that is a good idea.
Here is what the Wings have committed for next years roster, with a total of $29.3 commited salary.
Lidstrom - $7.6
Datsyuk - $6.7
Zetterburg - $2.7
Draper - $2.128
Holmstrom - $2.250
Samuelson - $1.2
Kronwall - $1.5
Lilja - $1
Franzen - $.900
Filppula - $.850
Osgood - $.800
Cleary - $.675
Lebda - $.550
That's 4 D, 8 F, and 1 G. Realisticly, we need to sign 2 D, 4 F, and at least 1 G. Odd are Cheli and Dom will be re-signed. Assuming both of those guys take similar contracts to what they had this year, that would eat about another $2. If the cap goes up to the sugested $49, I would think Kenny would want to spend about $45. We would have $14 to spend on 1 D and 4 F. It wouldn't be a stretch to get someone like Smyth. Even though Hank will be a UFA in 09-10, one would have to believe the cap would increase enough for the Wings to sign him. Even if the cap stayed stats quo, we have guys in the minors that could fill in gaps for affordable prices. IMO the only real question is Nick, and what he will be looking for after next season. I would much rather lock up Nick than sign a high priced UFA.
EDIT: I got my salary info HERE it's only salary, no bonus hits included. It's under Player saleries by year. It's a pretty neat site, has a lot of nice info.

When army eating, one shovels food into their mouth as fast as they can, sometimes chewing once or twice before swallowing, so they can be done earlier than everyone else, so they can tend to other more fun activities. This often happens in the army, hence "army eat". When army eating, it takes an average of 3-4 minutes to eat a regular meal.

Harold Cazneaux
Harold Pierce Cazneaux (1878-1953) is regarded as Australia's leading pictorial or art photographer. Described by Max Dupain as the father of modern Australian photography, his influence has been profound.
Cazneaux's work is celebrated for its embrace of natural light, which he saw as a key element in developing photographs with a distinctly Australian character. His extensive and versatile photographic work - from city views and landscapes to portraiture - is a testament to his innovation, passion and drive to take photography as an art to the world.

He participated regularly in national and international exhibitions, receiving critical and popular acclaim. His 1937 photograph, Spirit of Endurance, is arguably his most famous work.
Cazneaux was also a prolific writer, including a 20-year stint as correspondent for Photograms of the Year (UK), as well as a critic and teacher of photographic theory and technique.
Cazneaux's early life
Although Cazneaux was introduced to photography at an early age (both his parents worked in commercial photographic studios), he was initially more interested in sketching and drawing. While attending art school at night, he worked with his father at Hammer & Co. portrait studio in Adelaide.
However, when the 20-year-old Cazneaux visited John Kauffman's 1898 Adelaide exhibition, he had an epiphany. The soft-focus impressionistic images revealed the camera as an instrument of art, spurring Cazneaux on to create his own style.
Early works
Harold Cazneaux (1878-1953), The razzle dazzle, 1910, bromoil, 16.3 x 22.7cm. Image courtesy of the National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an2383966-1.
In 1904, Cazneaux relocated to Sydney and Freeman & Co. photographic studio. With his first camera he took hundreds of photos in his spare time. Sydney's city streets, its people and the Harbour were his subjects. Work from this period includes the moody Horse Ferry, Milson's Point (1908), the timeless Old Sydney, Rocks Area (1912), and the movement of his critically acclaimed The razzle dazzle (1910).
Cazneaux joined The Photographic Society of New South Wales in 1907, holding his first exhibition the same year. In 1909, he held Australia's first one-man show, to wide acclaim. The exhibition established him as a major talent locally and abroad with many of the photos being exhibited in overseas salons in the following years.
Pictorial pioneer
In 1911, Photograms of the Year, the leading British pictorial journal, ranked Cazneaux equal to his contemporaries, including Alfred Stieglitz and Frank Eugene. He was recognised as a pioneer of the pictorial movement.
By 1914, Cazneaux had fathered four of his six children. The same year, he won a national Kodak 'Happy Moments' competition with a series of ten prints. With the prize money, he bought a house in Roseville.
Harold Cazneaux (1878-1953), The quest: portrait of Rainbow Cazneaux, 1910, photograph, 33.1 x 26.2cm. Image courtesy of National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an2383799-2.
Cazneaux's children were constant subjects. An example of this is The quest, featuring his first daughter, Rainbow searching for fairies in the home garden.
In 1916, Cazneaux and a small group of photographers, including Cecil Bostock, James Stening, WS White, Malcolm McKinnon and James Paton signed the Sydney Camera Circle declaration. They pledged to embrace the unique Australian light and landscape, marking a move away from the darker European imagery that dominated at that time.
After 20 years of balancing the conflicting demands of his personal work with the commercial studio system, Cazneaux suffered a physical and nervous collapse in 1917. He resigned from Freeman & Co. the following year, and opened his own studio.
Cazneaux: artist in photography
From 1920, Cazneaux's home became his studio. His personally designed Edna Walling-style garden was the backdrop for much of his work. Sunlight and natural poses featured heavily. Finally, passion and profession merged.
The Home
Harold Cazneaux (1878-1953), The bamboo blind: portrait of Beryl Cazneaux, 1915, photograph, 26.3 x 21cm. Image courtesy of National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an2383810-2.
Sydney Ure Smith employed Cazneaux as the official photographer to his lifestyle magazine, The Home, in 1920. Their relationship continued for more than 20 years. The frontispiece of the first issue featured Cazneaux's filtered light portrait, The bamboo blind (1915).
Photographs for The Home included Sydney's social elite, including artists such as Norman Lindsay, as well as actors and models. Cazneaux lifted portraiture to new heights, unveiling a previously unseen intimacy with his attention to detail and natural lighting. The gardens and way of life of Sydney's well-to-do and Sydney itself were also subjects.

One of Cazneaux's most successful series' was his 'new idea' portraits, which placed subjects against painted backdrops. A study in profile (1931) is a case in point.
Beyond The Home
Beyond The Home, Cazneaux and Ure Smith collaborated on other publications, including the magazine, Art in Australia , and special publications such as Sydney Surfing (1929), The Bridge Book (1930), The Sydney Book (1931) and The Australian Native Bear Book (1930). Cazneaux enjoyed the challenge, variety and larger audience afforded by the assignments, and his kinship with Ure Smith.
In 1934, Cazneaux took photographs for The Frensham Book, depicting life at Frensham, a girls' boarding school in Mittagong, New South Wales. Exhilarated by the lack of photographic restriction, it was the closest he ever came to a personal book.
Harold Cazneaux (1878-1953), Pouring steel, NSW, 1934, photograph, 35 x 27.8cm. Image courtesy of National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an2381200.
Around the same time, Cazneaux was commissioned by BHP to photograph their steelworks at Newcastle, New South Wales and Whyalla, South Australia. The resulting images juxtapose the small human figure against dominating machinery. Their bold composition, with delicate tones, marks a move away from pictorialism toward a modernist style. Examples from this series include Pouring steel, NSW (1934) and Whyalla, South Australia (1935).
Work for The Home slowed markedly from 1934, with its publication ceasing in 1942.
The Australian landscape
From the mid to late 1930s, Cazneaux devoted his attention to the Australian landscape. He was struck by its constantly changing light, beauty and grandeur. It was an appreciation he shared with his friend and painter, Hans Heysen.
Harold Cazneaux (1878-1953), River Gums, 1935, photograph, 23.3 x 29.7cm. Image courtesy of National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an2384477.
Ever sensitive to sunlight, texture, shadow and shape, Cazneaux's images pay homage to the subject. From the serenity of landscapes such as Autumn light, South Australia (1935), to the endurance of Australian gum trees such as River Gums (1935).
In 1937, Cazneaux was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain - the ultimate photographic accolade.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, Cazneaux returned to portrait work from his home studio. His primary subjects were soldiers and their families.
In 1941, his only son, Harold, died at Tobruk, aged 21.
Cazneaux's later years
Much of Cazneaux's last decade was spent rediscovering the large collection of his own work. By his own admission, he was being taken over by new trends in photography.
In the early 1950s, he corresponded regularly with photographer and author Jack Cato, who was researching his book, The Story of the Camera in Australia (1955). Cato hosted a tribute evening for Cazneaux in 1952 - a testament Cazneaux's talent as a photographer.
Cazneaux died the following year, aged 75. He was survived by his wife of 48 years, Winifred Hodge, and their five daughters, who all helped in his studio.

We call them firefighters, but at fire departments across the area, the majority of emergency calls they now answer are for medical assistance.
In large urban departments across the Lowcountry and at smaller rural ones like the St. John's Fire District, medical calls have been growing fast due to a growing, aging population, changes in emergency dispatching, and a lack of preventive medical care among patients, fire officials say.
In North Charleston, medical calls have quadrupled in five years, and last year outnumbered building fires by 35 to 1.
"In a sense, firefighters are becoming primary care providers," said North Charleston Fire Chief Gregory Bulanow. "This has, no doubt, put increasing demands on our resources."
That's an issue for the departments and for the taxpayers who fund them.
Some departments are responding by searching for more efficient ways to handle the soaring call volume.
Larger departments in particular are moving away from the long-time practice of dispatching a crew in a fire engine when there's a medical call.
New methods
Mount Pleasant and North Charleston have started outfitting sport-utility vehicles for firefighters, so that a crew won't have to use a $500,000 fire engine that gets 5 miles to the gallon to answer a 911 call about someone having chest pains.
Using the SUVs also keeps firetrucks available for fighting fires.
Mount Pleasant currently has one SUV for medical calls and another on order. North Charleston has two and one more on the way. Mount Pleasant Fire Chief Herb Williams said that with three, the town could handle most medical calls without using fire engines.
Bulanow said the first SUV "special response vehicle" that North Charleston had was already handling 17 percent of the city's medical calls, covering the territory of multiple fire stations. They took delivery of the second vehicle on Friday.
Firefighters Shawn Krajic and Alec Dunn were staffing that vehicle recently, voluntarily working a 12-hour overtime shift.
"We usually roam the area," Dunn said, rather than waiting for calls to come in.
Firefighters often reach the scene of a medical emergency faster than an ambulance, saving minutes that can be crucial in responding to a heart attack, stroke or trouble breathing. The firefighters, many of whom are certified paramedics, provide life-saving services while awaiting the emergency medical service crew.
"We get there sooner, and we have more firefighters than they have EMS," said Williams.
He said the town's fire department handled about 6,000 total calls last year, and roughly 70 percent were medical-related.
"I think one thing is that the population is aging, and the population has also grown — exploded, really," he said. "More people and older people will equal more medical calls and more medical assists."
The serious calls
Firefighters in most areas are only dispatched for medical emergencies that are life-threatening or involve car wrecks. In North Charleston that amounts to between a third and a half of the 911 calls Charleston County EMS gets within the city.
"We do depend on fire departments for first response capabilities," said Charleston County EMS Director Don Lundy, who also is president of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. "The fire department, in critical calls, can start the treatment before we get there."
Jim Lake, who is in charge of Charleston County's consolidated emergency dispatching center, said medical calls county-wide have been rising by about 3,000 yearly and hit 47,000 in 2012.
Bulanow said it appears that before emergency dispatching was consolidated, some calls in the city weren't getting to the Fire Department. In 2007, for example, North Charleston was dispatched for only about half of the EMS calls described as life-threatening emergencies.
Now, city firefighters are dispatched to all such calls, plus many of the calls involving life-threatening potential, as determined by national standards.
"Because we are getting good information and standardizing protocols, agencies are getting more calls," Lake said. "We are getting the right units on the scene, and probably sooner."
Delayed care
Lundy said people who don't have health insurance or can't afford time off from work for doctor's appointments are one reason calls are increasing. Instead of getting preventive care for conditions like diabetes and heart disease, people call 911 when their blood sugar crashes or a heart attack strikes.
On Johns Island and surrounding barrier islands, the St. John's Fire District handles about 2,500 calls for service each year, and these days more than half are medical calls.
"For us, we run 50-55 percent of our calls as EMS calls," Administrative Chief Wayne Carter said.
A decade ago, medical calls were closer to one-third of St. John's calls. In Charleston, medical and rescue calls accounted for 45 percent of the Fire Department's calls in 2008, but more than 60 percent in 2012, when the department handled 9,914 medical calls.
Just last month, the city hired a director to manage the medical component of the Fire Department's work.
Battalion Chief and Fire Marshall Mike Julazadeh said the city had made a decision to respond to a broader range of medical calls, and that's one reason for the growth.
"I think you are going to see (the calls) level off at some point, but the aging population is continuing to grow, and we are a popular region for retirement," Julazadeh said. "I would not expect that it's going to double again, but it probably will increase."

ELKINS - The Randolph County Commission voted unanimously to accept the resignation of Travis Carter, the suspended regional director of the North Central Community Corrections program, at its meeting Thursday.
The vote came after commissioners entered into executive session, citing personnel matters, to hear the findings of an independent investigation conducted by Paul Krepps of the Pittsburgh law firm Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman and Goggin.
Carter was suspended by the County Commission Oct. 16, initially without pay. The Commission revised its decision Oct. 17, opting to pay Carter during his absence.
On Oct. 17, the Commission voted unanimously to hire Krepps to investigate the situation that led to Carter's suspension. On Oct. 23, Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong told The Inter-Mountain that she had been involved in a relationship with Carter.
Following a 45-minute executive session at Thursday's meeting, Krepps addressed the commission in open session.
"Members of the commission, I was appointed by the county, by you, to conduct an investigation into matters involving Travis Carter, and I have two documents today to present to you," Krepps said. "The first document is a signed letter of resignation by Mr. Carter and the other is a proposed mutual settlement agreement and release."
In his resignation letter, which was made available to members of the media, Carter wrote, "I am informing you that I am resigning from my position as Director of North Central Community Corrections, effective today (Thursday). Thank you for the opportunities for professional development that you have provided me during the last eight years of my dedicated service.
"It has been a painful decision to resign, but my family and I have decided that it is best to find other employment," the letter continues. "It would be difficult for me to remain in the position and to be an effective leader in light of the ethical allegations surrounding Judge Wilfong.
"We have made the decision to reach an agreement with the county in order to bring this matter to a closure. The county has not uncovered any evidence that I have committed any crime, because I have committed no criminal act. We appreciate the support that so many in the community have provided us during this difficult time.
"If I can be of any help during this transition, please let me know," Carter wrote.
Commissioner Mike Taylor made a motion to accept Carter's resignation, effective immediately, which passed unanimously. The commission also voted unanimously to authorize Krepps to sign the mutual settlement agreement and release, which Commission President Chris See said had been reviewed by Krepps, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker, Carter and Carter's attorney, Bader Giggenbach of the Morgantown law firm Brewer & Giggenbach.
The commissioners and Parker all declined to comment on the terms of the mutual settlement agreement release - or on any matters surrounding the situation with Carter, instead directing questions to Krepps.
Krepps said Carter's letter of resignation had been provided to the media because of Wilfong's decision to self-report her involvement with Carter.
"The investigation did not uncover any evidence of criminal conduct on the part of Mr. Carter," Krepps told The Inter-Mountain. "Mr. Carter retained counsel and an agreement was reached that Mr. Carter would resign. We agreed to the language contained in his letter of resignation and that it could be turned over to the press.
"The county considers the resignation as a personnel matter so I will not comment any further," Krepps added. "He was an employee at this point who resigned."
When asked about the terms of the settlement agreement, Krepps said, "It's an employee-employer issue. We just consider that to be private. If we had terminated him, that would be a different matter, but he's resigned."
Krepps did say the document "is a settlement that there will be no lawsuit."
"If we would have uncovered criminal conduct, it would have been turned over to the prosecuting attorney," he added.
Wilfong told The Inter-Mountain in October she self-reported the relationship to the Judicial Investigation Commission, although three other subsequent reports were filed in the matter, the judge said. Parker and local attorney Chris Cooper have both confirmed that they filed complaints with the JIC.
Following Carter's suspension, the program's finance manager, Erin Golden, was appointed the acting director of the North Central Community Corrections program.
The program was established in 2005 to provide structure and guidance to offenders in Randolph, Pocahontas and Tucker counties so they may make a smooth transition into the community after release from incarceration.
The judicial system also has the option of using the program as a community-based alternative sentencing program.

Overnight snow bumps March to Erie's 13th snowiest (updated: 9:45 a.m.)
The Erie-area saw 4.7 inches of snow Thursday and an additional inch as of 8 a.m. today, making it the 13th snowiest March on record and bumping its monthly snowfall total to 20.5 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
The record for most snowfall in March belongs to 2008 when 33.9 inches of snow fell. NWS meteorologist Kristen Yeager said Erie's 20.5 inches for March ranks it No. 13 for most snow recorded in the month, needing a little bit over an inch to reach the No. 10 spot.
There have been 99.8 inches of snow that have fallen since the beginning of the season, beating Erie's annual normal value of 94.4 inches, the weather service reported. Yeager said the normal March snow value for the city is 10.4 inches, meaning Erie has doubled that value.
And while Erie is on its way to setting records, surrounding areas have seen just as much snow. According to a NWS snow spotter, Corry saw 7 new inches of snow overnight, totaling 15 inches on the ground with 118.5 for the season.
The weather service is predicting an additional 1 to 3 inches of accumulation for Erie today and a Lake Effect Snow Advisory is still in effect for Erie County until noon. Winds could gust out of the west between 15 to 20 miles per hour, making driving conditions unfavorable.

The second to lowest possible social level for a white person. Second only to trailer trash. People who collects hub caps and hang them on their house or fence, tape their windows instead of replacing them, and have a large collection of random shit scattered in their yards, in a seemingly organized chaos. They are generally a bit more shifty and withdrawn.
Run and git that hub cap, son. We'll give it to that family up the crick. They's good people, just oakies.

A Kenmore resident who has been active in community affairs is running for the Village Board.
Kathleen E. "Katie" Burd, a registered Democrat and lifelong resident of the Ken-Ton area, announced her candidacy Monday.
"I fell in love with Kenmore because of the people and the character of the community," she said in a statement.
"I believe the fabric of the community is strengthened when we know one another, and when we work together, we keep our neighborhoods strong and vibrant."
Burd served as volunteer coordinator for the Kenmore Farmers' Market from 2008 to 2012 and spearheaded the campaign to keep the Kenmore Library's doors open in 2008 and 2009.
Earlier this month, she was appointed to the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library board of trustees by County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz.
Burd has worked for the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District's Community Education Department since 2001 and is active in the parent-teacher associations at two schools: Lindbergh Elementary and Kenmore Middle.
Two seats on the Village Board – those occupied by Salvatore C. "Sam" Muscarella and Paul P. Catalano – will be on the ballot this fall. The terms are four years.
Previously, the Ken-Ton Republican Committee announced the endorsement of Leonard Rollo for one of those seats.
The political parties in the village hold their caucuses in September.

Orange Tiny Terror Hand Wired Head and PPC410 Bundle
Orange Tiny Terror HW & PPC410 Bundle
What do you do when you find two great things that you start to fall equally in love with? Bundle 'em!
So that's what we're doing for you at Dolphin Music.
How about we breakdown this bright bundle and you can have a better look into what's on offer.
Orange Tiny Terror Hand Wired Amplifier Head
Hand wired, detailed to perfection, the new Tiny Terror HW Amplifier Head offers an upgrade to the already legendary Tiny Terror Head, which is in fact one of Orange's best selling heads.
A real boutique amplifier, producing that true British tone, with high specification transformers, 'carbon comp resistors' and 'mustard capacitors'.
This hand wired Tiny Terror is even more responsive and dynamic than the original head, so when it comes to the crunch, this Tiny Terror will show you how. With a wider frequency response this new amp has more bite and more punch.
Still an Icon, you know that the Tiny Terror HW has a reputation to uphold, so you can rest assured you're getting Orange quality, guaranteed. Similar to the original in many ways, the TTHW features the same portability, versatility and unique lunch-box size, with the added benefit of weighing less than the existing Tiny Terror. This is not a production amp, and each will be individually hand wired, tested and quality checked at Orange headquarters, limiting the numbers available.
*The TTHW comes in a special leather padded gig bag.
Orange PPC410 Amplifier Cab
Just like the Tiny Terror, Orange cabinets are built to last, produced using extremely rugged construction and manufacturing techniques the PPC410 is no different.
Every Power Projection Cabinet (PPC) is manufactured utilizing 13 ply high density 18mm birch plywood throughout. The unique 'skid' design feet help to acoustically couple the cabinets to the stage to provide a tighter bass response and full range definition.
The PPC410 features a closed back design with Celestion G10N-40 speakers for 120 watts of power handling.

Kayla Paulo is a celebrity in Grand Theft Auto IV, appearing in television programs such as in the opening credits of I'm Rich and an episode of Fizz!.
Kayla Paulo was born in 1987 to father Jamie Paulo, a future Las Venturas casino billionaire similar to Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn or Phil Ruffin. As early as 2002, she was enrolled in Bullworth Academy (a la Bully, another Rockstar Games video game) in New England. There, she met her best friend and fellow billionaire heiress Jill Von Crastenburg (although Jill is many years younger than her).

She is extremely distant from her father (who lives in one of his own Las Venturas hotel suites) and barely speaks to him. Despite being prepared to inherit over $1 billion, says she is more white trash than Tyler Dixon.

In addition to monolithic Las Venturas casinos, the family owns at least three large mansions - a 123 room estate in Richman, Los Santos, a large home in Calton Heights, San Fierro and a private island in the North Pacific.
Kayla herself is a regular on the Vinewood party scene, frequenting Studio 69 (a 69 sexual parody of Studio 54). She has 35 limitless credit cards, a wardrobe worth $25 million, and a jumbo jet with its own lap pool and nightclub.

LISBON - While Sheriff Ray Stone listed for voters some of his accomplishments, his opponent John Soldano pushed that the sheriff's office should be doing more.
The two men faced off Wednesday night before about 150 county residents attending the Candidates Forum sponsored ponsored by the Morning Journal, a sister paper of the Salem News and Ogden newspaper group, and WKBN FirstNews/Fox 17/62.
Stone said he reorganized the civil division, which put two uniformed deputies back on the road; added an additional detective to help investigate crimes; got grant money for bulletproof vests; put Civigenics employees in charge of watching video arraignments and got grant money for in-patrol car computers.
Soldano, Leetonia police chief, said his top priority if elected would be solving crimes, including working on unsolved murders and sex crimes. He said he would also be looking for funding to put deputies in the outlying schools to help keep students safe.
Stone was asked about his decision to retire in order to get his Public Employee Retirement System pension and then be rehired as sheriff. Stone said the decision actually saves the county 4.1 percent in what was being contributed to his retirement. But the reason he did it was to ensure his pension would be there with the expected changes to PERS.
Soldano said he is not in favor of double dipping. He challenged that while Stone's retirement may not have cost the county, his chief deputy's retirement and rehire cost the county $29,000. Soldano also criticized Stone for allowing his administrative assistant to also retire and rehire.
Even though he has run unsuccessfully for the position of sheriff in the past, Soldano said he is a fighter and will fight for the residents of the county. Stone challenged that if Soldano was serious about running for the position he should sign up to ride along with deputies so he can see what the job entails. He also challenged Soldano could have gone to college over the years to get a leg up if he was going to continue to run.
Unlike a village, Stone pointed out the county sheriff's jurisdiction covers 50,000 people and 532 square miles. The department's budget is $2.3 million. Soldano challenged that all calls should be answered if the crimes are going to be solved. Stone responded with having only two deputies on duty in the afternoon, a much larger amount of ground to cover than a village and 4,000 calls already this year, the situation necessitates some calls be handled by telephone.
Stone also said his budget has been cut 15 percent this year, but he has been able to handle it without any layoffs. He restructured some funds from equipment purchases to operations to get by.
When asked about the large numbers of unsolved murders, Stone noted thousands of hours are spent by his detectives working on the cases, some of which have included the additional steps of having voice stress analysis and polygraphs performed. Stone said he has looked at the case files and gives his detectives every resource available to work on the cases and follow up on leads. He noted in some cases, the file has been sent to the prosecutor's office, but the case has not been prosecuted.
"I'm not going to blame our prosecutor's office," Soldano jumped on the remark. "Our prosecutor doesn't have a magic wand to wave. He needs a good solid case to file."
Soldano said on any slow day he would begin going back through those murder case files with the detectives.
"My heart goes out to the families who have lost a loved one in Columbiana County," Soldano said.
Soldano said he would aggressively seek grant money to hire a victim's advocate, someone to stay in touch with the families or victims of crimes in the county, long after the deputy has interviewed them.
Both men agree there is a big drug problem in the county. Stone said he was negotiating currently to get a K-9 unit. He notes 80 to 90 percent of the people in the county jail are there for some offense related to drugs, including stealing to get money to buy drugs. Soldano pointed out a gas station owner in Leetonia who wanted to also sell drugs is now serving eight years, thanks to the work of the drug task force including Leetonia's officer on the task force. Additionally, Soldano said more money needs to go toward treatment for drugs and alcohol. He believes some of the casino money should be earmarked to help the drug task force.

CLEVELAND - This season, the Cleveland Browns have enhanced their game day experience for their fans.
Among those changes are easier access to the stadium, better cell phone reception, a better team shop, and, for their listening pleasure, the addition of the Cleveland Browns Drumline.
One of the original members on snare drum is 2009 Lisbon High School graduate, and longtime Browns fan, Brian Darcy.
"I have always been a big Browns fan," Darcy said. "I'm very excited to be part of this."
Darcy was selected this past August to be part of the drumline, one of many additions for the 2013 season during the Browns' home games at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Drumline consists of 19 members ranging in ages from 18 to their mid-30s, and each of the members are excited to be added to the environment.
"They are all very excited too," Darcy said. "They are excited to be able to go drumming again."
The Drumline made its debut during the Browns' home opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 8. Right away, the reaction was positive.
"The crowd has really gotten into it," Darcy said. "This is a way they get hyped up."
With the Browns' record at 3-2, and the fact that they are positioned near the Dawg Pound, the environment gets more electrifying.
"We are all more hyped up now with the way the Browns have been playing this season," Darcy said.
Darcy and the line's day begins when the tailgating begins. As fans enter the parking lot and enjoy beers and bratwurst, they also get to listen to the beat of the drums.
"Early in the morning, we play all around during tailgating," Darcy said. "We get the crowd going."
After the tailgaters are ready for the game, the drumline marches into the stadium and puts on its show.
"We perform during the TV and radio commercial breaks and during halftime," Darcy said. "We get mic'd up, and then from the control booth they give us the cue, and then we start playing. We also get to go on the field during halftime as well."
Darcy's game day experience began this past August as he saw a video about auditions for the new drumline.
"I saw a YouTube video that they were holding auditions for the drumline," Darcy said.
Considering Darcy's past involvement in marching bands, most recently as a member of the Youngstown State University Marching Pride, he figured he would give the audition a try.
"I had played in the band in high school and college," Darcy said. "I was a drummer in the marching band at YSU."
Now he looks forward to the extension of his drumming career after college.
"It is good to be able to do it again," Darcy said. "I didn't know if I would ever be able to have another opportunity to drum."
Outside of his drumming duties, Darcy is a student at Case Western Reserve University in Berea looking to go into a career in industry.
He is studying for his master of science degree in operations research and applied chain management, having graduated from Youngstown State University in 2013 with a bachelors of science in applied math.
Fans can catch Darcy and the rest of the Drumline at the south corner near the Dawg Pound at all Browns home games, including this Sunday as the Browns host the Detroit Lions.

Two Berkeley County artists are among the 400 from across 11 southeastern states selected to compete in ArtFields in Lake City beginning Friday.
Bonneau residents Horace Nobles and Elliott West join the other artists in vying for $100,000 in total cash prizes. ArtFields runs April 19-28.
Three awards, People's Choice, Judges' and Top Prize, will be given.
The People's Choice award will be the piece that gets the most votes during the 10-day festival; the Judges award will be the piece deemed the best by the panel of judges. The Top Prize will factor in both the popular vote and the judges' opinions.
ArtFields Executive Director Karen Fowler has been the self-described pied piper for ArtFields since businesswoman and Lake City native Darla Moore first came to her with the seed of an idea to help her hometown.
"Lake City is a small town that has been depressed, people leaving, those still there not engaged. One of the areas ArtFields is focusing on is fusing business with art – a daunting task.
"We knew on day one there would be resistance from the town; they wouldn't like it. And they didn't. Many said they didn't like artists, that artists were freaks," Fowler said.
But they knocked on doors and eventually the doors were opened wide.
"The venues – mostly local businesses – are excited. When people come this year, they will enjoy the community. When they come back in 2, 5 and 10 years they will experience the growth of ArtFields with us and will see how it has transformed Lake City.
At first the owners told the ArtFields staff to just put whatever they wanted to in their business, but the owners of the businesses were brought in to decide on which art would be shown in their business. It was obvious they knew what they liked and what they didn't like.
"We wanted them to select what they wanted to have in their space," Fowler said.
Voters must go to Lake City to register in order to vote for their favorite. Voters may register only one time and must be 16 years old with a valid drivers license or government issued photo ID. Once registered, voters may vote online with a unique elector ID and PIN.
In addition to the competition, ArtFields will feature workshops, lectures and entertainment. Most of the venues and events are free and open to the public. Some require a ticket with prices at $5 and $10 for most.
• A conversation with Lowcountry artists Jonathan Green and Mary Whyte moderated by Angela Mack.
• Public art includes a chalkboard in a public space in lake City where they public cam share their hopes and dreams and mini-cine, a mobile movie theater set inside a refurbished shipping container.
• ArtFields portrait contest with local farmers as they subjects in a high-speed, high-stakes paint-off. The best in show is $1,000.
• Art workshops (ticketed) in Plein air painting and screen printing
• Screen printing café where guests will be the curator of their own merchandise.
• Live painting on the green
• ArtFields After-Dark – Exquisite Corpse featuring DJ Rocky Horror (ticketed 21 and over) which invites attendees to take part in an interactive art project.
• Special ticket events, including a Farm to Fork Dinner and a Gospel Lunch at the Market.
In addition to the officially-sponsored events, ArtFields will also feature concerts and live music, with performances from New Orleans Rebirth Band and musicians from across the Southeast, a farmers' and artisans' market and al fresco food options from food trucks.
ArtFields grew from the town's history of cultivating strawberries, beans and other staples of South Carolina agriculture.
"Now ArtFields is serving as a fertile field for the cultivation of art and culture in one of South Carolina's oldest communities, thanks to the generosity of local sponors including the Patron of the Arts, IGA.
For more information on ArtFields go to: http://www.artfieldssc.org
The Green Barn
Artist: Horace Nobles
Location: Bonneau, South Carolina
Bonneau artist Horace Nobles believes an artist should paint the things they know and love.
"Having been raised in the rural Lowcountry of South Carolina, I find a wealth of subject matter in my natural surroundings of woods and fields, dirt roads and old farm buildings. Often I depict wildlife with weathered farm structures in the background. The history of this area also finds its way into many of my paintings," he says.
His are based on character, color and shape.
"I find my subjects in an avenue of live oaks draped in spanish moss, the face of a mule or an old plantation home that has withstood the passing of time," he says.
Nobles paints in both watercolor and oil, depending on what medium best suits the subject.
He is a member of the Berkeley Artist's Guild from which he won Best in Show in 2004.
Due South
Artist: Elliott West
Location: Bonneau, South Carolina
Elliott West was born in Charleston, grew up, and has lived most of her life in the Lowcountry. She graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Early Childhood Education and began her teaching career in Fort Worth, Texas. Upon returning to Moncks Corner in 1978, she continued her career in education in the Berkeley County School District. After teaching for 28 years, West decided to test the waters in the new career of fine art. She has taken workshops from many noted artists: Joyce Hall, Martin Ahrens, Chris Groves, James Pratt, and Luanna Luconi Winner, to mention a few. Elliott draws inspiration for her work from the southern charm of her native Lowcountry.
Elliot says she finds inspiration in the people, places, and things that have been such a positive influence in her life. Favorite subjects include local southern architecture, pets and people.
Elliott's favorite medium is oil, with pastel being a close second. Her work speaks to the connectedness one has to the people, places, and things one experiences in life on a day-to-day basis.

SALEM - A request to rezone 6.9-plus acres of land south of East Pershing Street from general commercial to residential multi-family for a housing developer now falls to Salem City Council.
All seven members of the city Planning Commission voted to recommend the request to council, under the condition of a 24-month time limit for breaking ground on the proposed apartment project or the zoning will revert to general commercial.
As a means to quell some concerns raised by residents on Oak Street and Tanglewood, Kennedy and Edgewood drives, east of Southeast Boulevard, the commission also agreed to study the idea of rezoning land 300 feet east of the deadends on those streets from residential multi-family to residential single-family.
"Show these people, on these streets, we're going to protect you," city Planning and Zoning Officer Patrick Morrissey told the commission members.
Morrissey said it's likely the rezoning request by the NRP Group for the 6.9-plus acres will be assigned to the Rules & Ordinances Committee of City Council before going to the full council. During the meeting, Councilman Brian Whitehill, who also resides on Tanglewood Drive, suggested the project should come before council's Committee of the Whole.
Whitehill was one of more than 50 people who crowded into council chambers with questions or comments about the project which he said many did not know about until reading about it in the newspaper.
Concerns varied from possible development close to the deadend neighborhoods to drainage problems that could be created on Cunningham and Shining Tree Lane by the construction. Shining Tree Lane resident David Halverstadt, who's also a landlord, questioned the amount of rent that could be charged, saying he's limited to a lot less than that by the government. He questioned the tax credits, the added traffic to Cunningham Road and the drainage especially.
The NRP Group is a Cleveland firm planning a three-phase housing development of apartments and single-family dwellings on vacant land bordering East Pershing Butcher and Cunningham. NRP Group developer Mary Hada explained the company has a purchase option on a 67.7-acre parcel currently owned by Gene Zilavy.
The strip to be rezoned borders the section of Pershing which was extended behind Marc's out to Butcher Road, which was then hooked to Cunningham, with a sidewalk installed the length of Pershing and down Butcher to Cunningham. The remaining 60.8-plus acres is already zoned RA multi-family.
Plans call for an $18 million investment in the First Phase consisting of a 120-unit walk-up apartment complex with a clubhouse located just south of East Pershing Street where it connects to Butcher Road. The Second Phase would consist of 176 walk-up apartments located at the corner of Butcher Road and Cunningham Road, just west of Cunningham Road and southwest of Butcher Road. The Third Phase was described as 50 single family lots, west of Cunningham Road and southwest of Butcher Road extending south to the corporation line.
The map available at the city Planning & Zoning office showed that a wetlands on the western half of the 67.70-acre parcel would remain a wetlands, with most of the development to the east of the high tension wires.
Hada confirmed the intent to keep the wetlands intact and have the development to the east of the stream which runs through the middle of the property. She said the wetlands section of the property is likely in a 100-year flood zone, also, and that, along with the topography and the wetlands would prevent them from building there.
The intent is for the NRP Group to apply for tax credits through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency to construct the project, which will require the company to limit rents to 60 percent of the median income in the area, which she said is $52,100. A family of four with an annual income of $32,160 could qualify to live in the apartments. Rents would start at $603 for a one-bedroom and go up to $836 for a three-bedroom. The breakdown of the 120-unit Phase I facility would be 48 one-bedroom, 48 two-bedroom and 24 three-bedroom apartments in the two-story walkups. Ten units would be market rate units, with 110 tax credit units.
Renters will have to go through what she called a strict resident selection criteria and make at least 2 1/2 times the rental cost. Water and sewer and garbage pickup will all be included in the rent.
"This is not Section 8 housing. This is not project based," she said, but added that if someone has a Section 8 voucher and meets the criteria, they won't be able to turn them down. "This is not rent subsidized in any way."
When asked by Commission Chairman John Panezott about the distance from the development to homes on Oak Street or Tanglewood Drive, it was estimated at 200 feet or more. She also said it was not their intent to extend those deadend streets that abut the property.
She also said they were told the city would require a sewer lift station at the southern most part of the property, near where the single family dwellings would go.
Several residents who live on Oak Street and Tanglewood, Kennedy and Edgewood drives raised questions about having a permanent buffer zone or a deed restriction to make sure nothing could be built on the section of land where the wetlands is located, closer to their properties.
"We have a well-kept middle-class neighborhood and we would like to see it kept that way," Tanglewood resident Judy Sicilia said.
Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey, who lives on Edgewood, agreed that the reason so many people were there was over concern for the impact on their neighborhood. Fellow Councilman Clyde Brown raised an issue over notification of people who live near the property to be developed, but Morrissey said it's not required for Planning Commission. When it comes before council, he said he'll have to notify the neighbors.
Hada urged people to check out the four-story senior rental units they developed, built and manage in Alliance. When questions were raised about the zoning change, she pointed out that they could build right now on a large portion of the property that's already zoned residential multi-family. They wanted to start at the northern end because it's closest to water and sewer access.
Larry Kosiba, who attended meetings with Hada, Mayor John Berlin, Morrissey and Service/Safety Director Ken Kenst, spoke in favor of the project, saying the type of people who would be renting would be young professionals. He said the project will bring jobs and income to the city and could mean more development.

Mother nature isn't done pounding the area with snow just yet.
As city residents are finishing clearing walks and cars of snow from Wednesday's storm, the National Weather Service is predicting the area will see about 2 to 4 more inches of powder today.
"It looks like by the time it's all said and done, things should wind down late (today)," said Meterologist Craig Evanego. "We're expecting 2 to 4 inches (today)."
Evanego added that the weather service issued a winter weather advisory starting at 6 a.m. today.
The extra inches could push the week's total snowfall to over 1 foot as it already has accumulated 8.8 inches, according to Evanego.
The city continued to clear roads a day after Wednesday's storm but said is prepared for the incoming snow. William C. Wright, general manager of the city Streets and Parks Department, said it has sufficient staff on-hand despite the holidays.
"Many more of the alleys are cleared and hopefully this storm (today) won't be as heavy, but you never know," Wright said.
Colder air - today's high is 30 degrees - and "favorable" systems for precipitation are the reasons the area has seen so much snow recently. Evanego added, "We're just in a pattern."
Since last year's winter was "mild," Evanego said it didn't see much snow, but this recent string of snow storms is comparable to one that hit the area in March 2011.
"Looks like we had one in March 2011 that gave us about over 10 inches over a few days," Evanego said.
And although Wednesday's storm brought a mixture of snow, rain and sleet, Evanego believes the area will only experience snow today.
"I don't think it will be (a heavy mixture)," Evanego said. "This will be a little lighter. We're expecting it to be all snow - no sleet."
But even with just snow, drivers should use caution when driving.
"It's tough to say (how the roads will be)," Evanego said. "It still can be slick, so even with just snow definitely use caution."
According to Evanego there are no other snow storms on the horizon for the area, but as the cold air continues to "hang around," he said the possibility of another remains going into next week.
"The cold air is here. We just need to see if we get any moisture in the air or not," he said.
