Police arrested two men early Saturday morning after initially responding to a report of someone trying to break into a home at 239 Pleasant St.
When police arrived, they found two men approximately two houses away, fighting at the intersection of Oak and Pleasant Street.
Matthew Perkins, 22, was found with several bags of cocaine, also carrying a large amount of cash. He was arrested and held at the Belknap County Jail on 5 thousand dollars cash bail. Perkins was charged with possession of a controlled drug and will be arraigned Monday at the Laconia District Court.
After further investigation, Andrew Pascascio, 28, was charged with criminal mischief for damaging the door of the 239 Pleasant Street home while trying to break in.
Both men were charged with disorderly conduct and simple assault.
Pascascio will be arraigned on all charges on Dec. 27.

Hey! Well, I want to say a
Hey! Well, I want to say a lot of things but I'm going to tell the most importants C:
First: sorry for my bad english, I'm peruvian.
Second: I'll be so happy if you come to latinamerica (especially Peru) It'll be awesome (yes, as fuck!) for all peruvian idiots and me 'cause I've never been in a Green Day's concert (I couldn't go to 21st century breakdown's tour)
Third: well, surely you hear this a lot, but I'm a big fan! You're a great band!, really. I heard GD all my life but I knew that it was you at age of 13 (now I'm 16)
All my family're tired of me 'cause I can't stop talking about you xd but, my mom accepts that you're my favorite band and blablabla...
Fourth: surely, this is totally heard before, but I love your new trilogy (althought a lot of "fans" hate it) especially "Amy" (I just heard it at a live video and I love it!) and "Nuclear Family" and... many more :3
Fifth: I said that I was going to say a few things? hahaha. I talk a lot. Whatever, COME TO LATINAMERICA! We love you!
Rage and Love, Paola.
Hello! So I would like to let
Hello! So I would like to let you know that there has been an entire D.I.Y. community that has come together in hopes of achieving a common goal of getting a small local band from Binghamton, NY to open for Green Day. We have had hundreds of people come together in hopes of achieving this and it has been absolutely beautiful. People have been commenting on Facebook, using Twitter, and Instagram in hopes of getting the attention for this to possibly be considered. As a community, we do not know where to turn or who to reach out to so am writing this in hopes it will reach the right eyes. The band is Lila Ignite and at this point, not just the band, but this entire music community would just like to hear back from Green Day in any way shape or form. This is about more than just a band "trying to get big" or any negative motivations that could be accusations in this particular situation. However, I promise, everything I am writing and every connection and passion we share in this music community is 110% real and genuine. At this point, we all would just love to hear back at the convenience of whomever can help us out. This is not just about a small D.I.Y. band, but an entire community who has united in hopes of achieving this goal.
Thank you so much for your time and we really hope to hear back!

I don't know why you chose
I don't know why you chose such a small venue to play in Seattle. I didn't have time to sit home all day to buy tickets the minute they went on sale, and since they are will call only we can't even get any on resale. I like the Paramount Theater but it seems like you just made it so 90% of the people who wanted to see your show now can't go. Please play a bigger venue next time, like you did on your last tour

I dont have anyone to take my other daughter so I have to choose which one to take.Thats not right! Im sorry but my choice has to be niether.Please rethink for future concerts in Seattle,Wa. Thank you,Fans for now

Any chance of coming to
Any chance of coming to Belfast?
I love the band and have
I love the band and have wanted to you in concert for many years.
I was extremely excited to see that you would be playing in a small venue in Seattle this November.
I went to purchase tickets and they are all General Admission. I also went to buy tickets in 2009 to see you but they were GA as well. I understand that you want everyone to have equal chances to get a good seat. I also understand that it is part of the "punk" genre to have open seating etc.
As a major concert goer for several years I have seen hundreds of shows. I believe that GA seating is a completely unacceptable way of doing business. I don't have time to sit outside the venue all day and wait in line to get a good seat. Additionally your fans are not just in their 20s anymore and I am guessing they have jobs and other commitments making it hard to get their early and waste their day standing in line. So know I at two shows and counting that I have not attended due to General Admission seats.
I purchased the Idiot Club membership to be able to "pre" buy tickets. I feel ripped off that I purchased this membership that enabled me to by GA tix that I could have bought without the membership.
Please consider reserved seats fir future tours. I really want to see you live in concert.
One disappointed fan, Grant Bowker

Judy Compton said she was awakened Thursday morning by her two dogs and a young man banging on the front door of her west Greeley home. She quickly realized her garage was on fire.
She woke up her renter, Ben Bustamante , and got out of the home. The two, along with three dogs, a burro and a three-legged goat, were unharmed by the fire.
Greeley Fire Chief Duane McDonald said crews quickly contained the fire to the garage, but heat and smoke severely damaged the siding on the home. The garage, which was where Bustamante ran his carpet cleaning business, was a total loss.
Firefighters responded to the blaze at 5927 28th St. about 8:45 a.m. They remained on scene most of the day, cleaning up and investigating.
They did have to let it burn for a while, after a power line sagged onto the roof of the garage, sending sparks flying. It took nearly an hour to get the power turned off so crews could safely resume dousing the fire.
Fire engineer John Fagerberg, a fire department public information officer, said investigators believe the fire was started by a space heater that was left on near combustibles. He said it took hours for investigators to dig through debris from the roof of the garage to find any evidence of what happened.
Fagerberg said between damage to the garage, vehicles, electrical lines and the house, the total cost of the fire is estimated at $150,000. He said the house is likely uninhabitable right now, due to the heat and smoke damage.
No one has been able to find out the identity of the young man who helped Compton and Bustamante escape the fire.
The two residents said they're devastated. Compton said she's worried about having to pay for the damage.
"At least everyone's OK, and that's what's important to me, especially my critters," she said.

LOCKPORT – Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano said Wednesday that asbestos removal and interior demolition at Harrison Place is almost complete. The work is needed for Trek Inc. to move its electronic instruments plant from Medina to Lockport.
However, Ottaviano said the appraiser hired by Five Star Bank to place a value on Building 4 at Harrison Place still hasn't reported on the building's value, which is holding up a loan the city's development agency intends to take out to pay for the renovation.
R. Charles Bell, city planning and development director, said he thinks the appraiser's delay is starting to endanger the project, announced Dec. 12. Trek is to bring nearly 100 jobs to Lockport.
Without the loan amount, city leaders can't sign a lease with Trek for the property, because the lease payments have to be enough to enable repayment of the loan, expected to be more than $3 million.

It will include a newer version of the Canon fluorine coating reducing light scatter within the lens.

The new coating will drastically increase the scratch resistance on the front element.

The lens will be fully metal, besides the zoom and focus rings.

The image quality is supposed to be the best as far as Canon zooms go (like version 1 was).

Mid January announcement.

@Nightbreath, I own the lens and use it for work so know that it has a plastic body. That story you link to doesn't mention it but Ken Rockwell does. Plastic barrel with metal zoom and focus rings. The rings are not made of rubber. The rubber grip is added over the metal rings. http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/70-200mm-f4-is.htm
It's not about being anal. The lighter weight and smaller size is something that I actually find useful for work. If the new lens were all metal and heavier, it would make a difference to me since my regular load is four lenses and two bodies. I take the 2.8 if I have to. And the f4 lens is a mix of plastic and metal. I'm sure the many 70-200mm F4 and F4/is owners can chime in.

For the last four seasons, "Flying" Brian Hoffman has been busy flinging dirt into the air while seeking success in the dirt track stock car racing world of the 360 Late Models.
Prior to his recent dirt racing days, however, Hoffman could be found grabbing numerous checkered flags on the high banks of the paved Holland Motorsports Complex.
This is his early asphalt race driving heritage. Now he is putting his dirt driving escapades behind him and returning to his racing roots at Holland this season. Hoffman, of South Wales, will compete in Holland's headlining NASCAR Pro Modified division.
"You tell everyone that I am working hard in the shop this winter and am coming back to Holland with both my barrels tightly packed," said Hoffman, who turns 53 on May 2. "I'm looking to have some fun."
Why the return to the asphalt at Holland from dirt?
"I think Holland is in for a very good year this year," remarked Hoffman. "In the Pro Modifieds, due to the fact that Lake Erie [Speedway] dropped the Late Models this season, George Skora III and Jeff Brown are joining the Holland Pro Modified class and you already have a lot of good drivers like Neal Dietz Jr. in the Pro Modifieds already so it will be fun and challenging.
"Also, I had a chance to buy the Pro Modified of Daryl Lewis Sr. I'm also looking forward to getting to a few different asphalt tracks like the Race of Champions at Oswego and the US Open Weekend at Lancaster."
Hoffman is happy with his relatively brief dirt track driving career. He says he enjoyed the opportunity to visit many different tracks, particularly when competing with the BRP Can-Am 360 Late Model Series.
"I was in it for four years and I guess you could say I was happy with the results," said Hoffman. "I didn't win any A-Mains but I won a couple B-Mains and a few qualifying races. It's very competitive. I know that from my first race on dirt to my last, I became a much better driver and the good side of that learning curve showed up.
"I've always took a lot of care in keeping my program very professional looking. I was one of the few guys on dirt to show up with a nice wax job always on my car."
Hoffman passed the learning curve at Holland long ago with flying colors and should not need a refresher course of any kind.
During his prior career at Holland which began in 1989, Hoffman amassed 32 feature wins spread across the NASCAR Charger, NASCAR Pro Truck and NASCAR Pro Modified ranks and won Holland's NASCAR Pro Truck championship title in 1996 driving for owner Norm Wiedeman.
"I've raced a lot of different places and Holland is still a good showcase for racing," believes Hoffman. "I think it will be a ball for me to be back racing at Holland. I know my way around that place."
Elsewhere, very few married couples in the local auto racing scene embodied a love, devotion and support for the sport as was exemplified by the North Tonawanda based husband/wife duo of Jack and Bonnie Veach.
Together the well known pairing worked together at many local tracks across the northeastern racing footprint, filling various roles over many years. They were inseparable.
That changed July 11, 2006, when Jack died from cancer at age 63. In the years that followed since Jack's death, Bonnie, together with her two children, John and Dawn, have continued working for and supporting the sport.
Now John and Dawn must carry on as Bonnie died March 23, also from cancer, at age 68 leaving a large void similar to Jack's in the local racing community.
Jack Veach was inducted into the Friends of Auto Racing Fan Club's Score Hall of Fame in 2009 and also was bestowed with the Lenny J. Sammons Outstanding Contribution to Auto Racing Award from DIRT Motorsports in 2000. In 1999, the entire Veach family was awarded the FOAR Score's Dick Hammond Dedication to Auto Racing Award.
Bonnie knew most of the northeastern racing media well having worked at the press/media center at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse at Super DIRT Week each October for many years. She was a friend of the media.
While John and Dawn will carry on, memories of their parents' valuable contributions to racing will burn bright for years to come.
Lancaster has new name
Every few seasons it seems the name of the racing facility in Lancaster, known the last few years as Dunn Tire Raceway Park undergoes a name change. From it's original opening as Lancaster Speedway in 1959 to the later years where it has been know as Lancaster Speed World, Lancaster Raceway Park and Lancaster Motorsports Park, the name of the duel drag racing/stock car track has been forever changing. It has changed again for 2013 to Elegant Builders Raceway Park or EBRP.
When Dunn Tire did not renew its track naming rights sponsorship agreement, track promoter Ralph Galluzzi searched and found another naming rights sponsor in the form of local businessman/racer Don King and his Elegant Builders company, based in East Aurora .
"Ralph and I were talking a few months ago and I was interested in knowing how I could help the track," said King. "At first it was kind of weird because I was just thinking about doing some advertising with the track and then the next thing you know the conversation ended up a few months ago with me forming a three-year deal with Ralph to have the track's naming rights.
"I think it will be a win-win for both of us because I can get much more exposure for my business and Ralph will have some extra money for the track."
King also will continue to drive this upcoming season. While still competing in the Sportsman on occasion, King will concentrate on his new racing venture, racing on the Race of Champions Modified Tour in a Troyer Race Cars constructed chassis. King received the chassis from Troyer and completed the rest of the car's construction in his own race shop.

ALBANY – Lawmakers are narrowing in on a final state budget deal to raise the state's $7.25-per-hour minimum wage to $9 over the next three years and cut personal and business taxes by $700 million, including a reduction in assessments on utility bills.
The sides failed, though, in a bid to announce a 2013 budget deal by Monday night, as a host of final issues kept Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders holding out for a final agreement maybe sometime today.
Even with a handshake deal, lawyers and fiscal staffs would still need to navigate through final provisions in the thousands of pages of budget bills, a process that can take its own twists and turns in a building where trust is a sometimes elusive commodity.
The tentative deal for a minimum wage hike would increase the current wage to $8 next January, followed by a hike of 75 cents the following year and then to $9 by January 2016.
It would not include, as some lawmakers had sought over the objection of business groups, automatic increases every year into the future based on the inflation rate. And it would also not seek to exclude young workers under age 20 from getting the increase, which was a plan floated by Senate Republicans.
Advocates for the minimum wage said the emerging plan would be worth about $1 billion less to workers during the period than a proposal by the Assembly Democrats.
"Nobody said I signed off on any plan," said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, after emerging from closed-door talks Monday night with Cuomo and lawmakers. "But, realistically, if we can get a minimum wage that ends at $9 in two years I think we've done a tremendous service."
In return for the wage increase, Senate Republicans have demanded a tax-cut package to help soothe the objections of business groups to the higher minimum wage.
Senate co-leader Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, pegged the tax-cut package at about $700 million. He declined to elaborate on details.
But sources close to the talks said officials are looking at reducing a state surcharge on utilities, which pass along the tax to consumers, as well as a possible rebate check system for middle-class families.
Also still on the table is a plan, which lawmakers say Cuomo is promoting in closed-door talks, to extend a higher tax bracket on millionaires.
That tax increase, worth about $2 billion a year, was pushed through in December 2011 after Cuomo had vowed not to hike taxes.
The governor, who, unlike legislative leaders, has not met with reporters in recent days, did not comment Monday.
Still being pushed by Cuomo in budget talks is a measure to relax marijuana possession laws and to restore cuts lawmakers proposed to several of his economic development proposals.

Disability 'Hub Clubs' unveiled
13th June 2012
Adults and children with a disability who wish to learn to swim or improve their swimming ability can now receive individual advice and assessment facilities from a network of 30 specialist swimming clubs across England.
The 'Hub Clubs' are local swimming clubs that work in partnership with the ASA to provide an assessment opportunity for any swimmer with a disability.
The swimmer will be invited to attend a training session where they will complete basic swim skills and assessment tasks to determine their ability.
These Hub Clubs are an ideal first point of contact to get started enjoying the many benefits of getting in the water.
After the initial assessment, swimmers will be directed to the appropriate provision to ensure they have the best opportunity of reaching their full potential.
This could include local authority or private learn to swim schemes, local swimming clubs or regional squads and teams.
In addition, there are a number of 'Swimlink' sessions available in limited locations which are dedicated sessions to further enhance the skills of young disabled people.
Bridging the gap between learning to swim and progressing on to a swimming club, these sessions will enable the young person to progress into a mainstream coaching environment.
Track down your nearest Hub Club for your child with our interactive map in the Disability Swimming section of the British Swimming zone here.A great first point of contact are a network of specialist hub clubs. These are local swimming clubs that work in partnership with the ASA to provide an assessment opportunity for swimmers with a disability.
Carole Barough, ASA National Development Manager for Disability Swimming, said: "We are working closely with clubs to ensure that all children and adults have the opportunity to learn to swim and improve their swimming, regardless of their ability.
"One of the great things about swimming is that it's a fully inclusive activity for everyone to take part in and these Hub Clubs are an ideal first point of contact to get started enjoying the many benefits of getting in the water.
"We hope that they will help to encourage disabled swimmers to continue to swim on a regular basis and maximise their own potential."

quote: A Samsung official has reportedly denied claims that the company has raised the price it charges Apple for its iPhone and iPad processors by almost 20 percent. Speaking with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh, the unnamed official added that prices were agreed upon at the beginning of each year and "aren't changed easily." Monday's report in rival paper Chosun claimed Apple and Samsung have a supply agreement that runs through to 2014, and unless "special cost factors" were involved, unit prices have traditionally stayed level.

In this course, students explore the musical concepts of melody, rhythm, harmony and form as applied to the principles and techniques of writing and arranging for the rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, basic percussion) and a lead-line in a solo instrument, two horns (trumpet, alto or tenor sax) or voice. Students learn about the conceptualization process of combining individual components to create a musically satisfying arrangement. Students also learn various contemporary musical styles and the musical concepts that comprise them, including writing from the bottom up (groove-driven) and top down (working with a melody in a lead instrument or voice). Students will complete writing assignments that incorporate combinations of acoustic, electronic, and/or MIDI instruments.
The first of a three-course series within the Berklee Popular Music Institute, this experiential course provides students with the practical and analytical skills needed to develop a successful touring act chosen from among their fellow students. Students start with a&r, listening to submissions and evaluating both the artist's virtual presence and live performance. They then create an artist development plan, taking into account recording and production, web presence, visual identify, merchandise, brand partnerships, media relations, and touring. In addition to booking and planning a summer semester tour for their acts, students will attend industry conferences to network with professionals and hone their music business and management skills.
Functional tonal harmony analyzed and composed in various musical textures. Emphasis on voice leading, melodic writing, and figured bass.
Continuation of CM-211. Advanced tonal harmony and intermediate compositional procedures. Emphasis on harmonies with sevenths, other upper extensions, chromatic alterations as well as modulation.
Specific techniques of traditional tonal composition. Conclusive and nonconclusive phrases; antecedent-consequent phrase relationships; open-ended phrase relationships; sequencing; modulation; large-scale tonal relationships; thematic variation and development. Application of these techniques in writing, using models from the classical period.
During this course the students will explore and master the technique of modulation to the keys both closely related and distant. Using the concepts of three degrees of kinship between keys and the major-minor (minor-major) systems, the students will acquire the skill of gradual modulation as well as sudden modulation, as it was taught in Russia. This practical/theoretical approach will both contrast and complement current methods of handling this more advanced area of harmony, and will thus bring about for the student additional practical applications of these concepts.
The technical aspects involved in creating finished, professional scores. Score layout; instrumental/vocal ranges and performance characteristics; special playing techniques and limitations; breath and bowing considerations; choice of key, meter, beat, and subdivision values; use of slurs, articulation marks, dynamics, tempo variation, and other devices for indicating expressive nuance; proper underlaying of vocal text; calligraphy; creating a practical piano reduction; and extracting parts.
This course introduces students to diatonic harmonic analysis in various musical textures, melody writing, and harmonization of melodies in various musical textures.
This course is a continuation of CM-251. Students explore more in-depth concepts, including advanced traditional harmony and intermediate compositional procedures, as well as seventh chords, altered chords, and modulation.
Specific techniques of traditional 20th-century composition. Technical devices such as quartal harmony, serial writing, polytonality, and contrapuntal techniques. Assignments are directly related to each of these aspects of composition and are performed in class.
The continuation of CM-311 with concentration on the employment of serial approaches to composition. Various composition assignments and a final project are required.
The workshop provides opportunities for student composers to hear performances of their own work, and for student performers to gain public performing experience of original student works and works written within the last 60 years. Important works of the 20th century are explored. It is advisable, but not required, for students to have taken MHIS-261 prior to enrolling in this course. This course can be repeated for credit.

Barack Obama, Bill Clinton Praise Maya Angelou
Here are statements from President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, and U.S. lawmakers on the death of poet and author Maya Angelou, who died Wednesday at 86. Ms. Angelou, best known for the autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," read a poem at Mr. Clinton's 1993 inauguration, and was awarded the Medal of Freedom by Mr. Obama in 2011.
President Barack Obama
When her friend Nelson Mandela passed away last year, Maya Angelou wrote that "No sun outlasts its sunset, but will rise again, and bring the dawn."
Today, Michelle and I join millions around the world in remembering one of the brightest lights of our time – a brilliant writer, a fierce friend, and a truly phenomenal woman. Over the course of her remarkable life, Maya was many things – an author, poet, civil rights activist, playwright, actress, director, composer, singer and dancer. But above all, she was a storyteller – and her greatest stories were true. A childhood of suffering and abuse actually drove her to stop speaking – but the voice she found helped generations of Americans find their rainbow amidst the clouds, and inspired the rest of us to be our best selves. In fact, she inspired my own mother to name my sister Maya.
Like so many others, Michelle and I will always cherish the time we were privileged to spend with Maya. With a kind word and a strong embrace, she had the ability to remind us that we are all God's children; that we all have something to offer. And while Maya's day may be done, we take comfort in knowing that her song will continue, "flung up to heaven" – and we celebrate the dawn that Maya Angelou helped bring.
President Bill Clinton:
With Maya Angelou's passing, America has lost a national treasure; and Hillary and I, a beloved friend.
The poems and stories she wrote and read to us in her commanding voice were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace.
I will always be grateful for her electrifying reading of "On the Pulse of Morning" at my first inaugural, and even more for all the years of friendship that followed.
Now she sings the songs the Creator gave to her when the river "and the tree and the stone were one."
Our deepest sympathies are with Guy and his family.
Here are tweets from lawmakers on Capitol Hill:

With today's news of Helm coming back, as well as Eaves, in a couple weeks what do y'all think is gonna happen with the lineup?
Tootoo has played well enough to keep his spot in the lineup so far. Glendening has impressed, but we can send him back to GR without going through waivers (which I have to assume we will do once Helm is back). If nobody else gets injured (and that is a moderately sized "if") who are we getting rid of, and how?
I have to think that Sammy is on the bottom rung of the totem pole right now, but how do we get rid of him?
Do you think we shop Tatar? I sure hope not, but where does he fit in the lineup? I would still rather have him in the lineup over Tootoo, and also have him on the 2nd PP over Cleary.
Miller is playing well and looks good on the PK
Bottom line, Nyquist is looking further and further from the Wings lineup.

Dairy financing conference in California
Dairy financing conference in California
Think of it as a clear sign of just how different these post-2009 meltdown financial times are for Western milk producers: A day-long conference to help dairy owners develop and improve relationships with lenders and suppliers will be held February 22 in Visalia, Calif.
The "Dairy Financing Conference" will be presented by Western United Dairymen, Rabobank, Land O'Lakes, and The Food Partners, a food industry investment banking firm, at the Convention Center Marriott Hotel. Registration fee is $25 and includes lunch. It's an event whose value figures to far exceed its cost.
Industry outlooks will be made by two economists and will be followed by four panel discussions. Specific topics will be:
• "2011 Outlook for the California Dairy Industry"
• "Ways to Improve Cash Flow and Profitability"
• "How to Better Manager Your Banking Relationship and Renegotiate Loans"
• "What it Means to be in Special Assets"
• "Working With Suppliers, Advisors, Consultants, and Milk Marketers"
David Frost from The Food Partners expects attendance to be high, due to the still-severe effects of the 2009 dairy economy collapse. "This conference can't change the effects of the recession, but the majority of the dairy world is worried and anxious. Getting that attitude turned around is a key part of recovery, and one of the messages we want to share is that there are people out there who want to help dairies."

Howard Burton Twiss
Howard Burton Twiss, 93, of Sterling, Colo., passed away March 7, 2014.
He was born on June 21, 1920 to Robert Twiss and Inda Stecker Twiss.
He spent his youth on a small ranch north of Wray, Colo. He attended grade school in a one-room country school and then later attended Wray High School where he was a member of the National Honor Society and was Wray FFA first chapter president. It was here that he met and fell in love with his future wife, Mary Faye Funk.
Howard worked in the hay fields in North Park, Colo., during the summers and part time for the Wray phone company. At that time Howard was sure of one thing: He didn't want to be a farmer and rancher. After marriage in 1940, he secured a full time job with the Phone Company and was transferred to Denver, installing phones at Buckley Air Force Base. Their first daughter was born at this time.
In the spring of 1943, after disillusionment with city life, he, his wife and daughter bought a farm southeast of Akron, a mile from where his parents had recently moved from the Wray area and also bought a farm.
After a short time, as a member of the "Greatest Generation" he enlisted in the Navy and served until the end of World War II. While in the Navy, Howard attended engineering and refrigeration schools and was assigned to the newly commissioned "USS Fisk" and rose to the rank of Fireman First Class. It was during this time Howard and Mary Faye's second daughter was born. When his duty for his country was done, he returned home to Akron and continued to build his family and farm.
Howard enjoyed his community and served on many boards and committees. He served on the Ashland School board, the Otis School board, Washington County Farm Bureau board, Washington County Schools Redistricting Committee, Washington County Pest Control and was an active member of the Akron Odd Fellow Lodge and Town and County Card Club.
Howard worked his son into the family farm and farmed until his retirement and the loss of his beloved mate, Mary Faye. He eventually moved into an assisted living apartment (The Legacy) in Sterling and later into Devonshire Nursing Home.
Left to mourn him are his daughters, Janice and husband Ron Shook of Akron, Colo., Connie and husband Ed Corman of Otis, Colo., Linda and husband Jerry Kuntz of Atwood, Colo., and Rhonda and husband Tim Kuntz of Lone Star, Colo., and son Thomas and wife Shirl Twiss of Otis, Colo. He was blessed with 11 grandchildren, 26 great grand children and three great, great grand children and many nieces and nephews and numerous friends.
Howard was preceded in death by his beloved wife Mary Faye, his parents Robert Twiss and Inda Stecker Twiss, sisters: Opal and husband Raymond Earl, Doris and husband Joe Evans, Ruth and husband Glen Kalivoda, Louise and husband Johnny Barnhart, Katherine and husband Don Salter. Brothers: Rex and wife Ruth Twiss, Edward and wife Shirley Twiss. Father-in-law Claude Funk and mother-in-law Faye Funk, Brothers-in-law Claude Funk and wife Mary, Leo and wife Lela Funk McCoy, Verle and wife Doris Funk Lewton, Ed McKee and wife Francis Funk McKee.
Services were held March 17, 2014 at the United Methodist Church of Akron, Colo.
Memorials can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Akron Methodist Church in his memory. ❖

William F. Packard
William F. Packard, "Bill" to his many friends and associates was born in Falls City, Neb., and raised in Atwood, Kan., by his parents, William and Myrtle (Goodell) Packard.
He served in the Navy during WWII, then enrolled in the University of South Dakota under the GI Bill for a Business Degree. While in South Dakota he worked in the campaign of Medal of Honor recipient and Marine fighter pilot Ace Joe Foss for Governor. He did well in his studies and although he said he was pretty much a failure at High School math, he found a college professor who taught him how to become proficient at it. That served him well when he entered the banking business, working his way up from a RePro Man collecting bad debts and repossessing property, to Loan Officer, to Financial Officer, and eventually as President of the Peoples Bank of Aurora, Colo.
He loved living in Colorado and always dressed in western cut suits and boots. He was active in the El Jebel Shrine and bought a Harley Davison motorcycle to ride their Motorcycle Patrol to entertain in parades. He joined the Roundup Riders of the Rockies in 1976 and rode his horse on many of their weeklong 100 mile rides through the high Rocky Mountains. He eventually became Executive Secretary of that prestigious organization which draws riders from many states across the length and breadth of the nation. Upon retirement as a Life Member after some 30 years as a rider and executive secretary, he joined the Cunningham Fire District as a Director. He eventually became President of the District covering 14 square miles of unincorporated Arapahoe County and parts of the city of Centennial. The District has three operational fire stations plus a quartermaster station. There are approximately 85 firemen and an annual budget of some $11,000,000 which he was managing at the time of his death at age 87. That is quite an accomplishment for someone who flunked High School math.
Bill is survived by his sister Marlene Unger of Apache Junction, Ariz., a daughter Marcia Hansen and four grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a son William.
His ashes will be spread in the high mountains where he loved to ride.
Tax deductible memorial contributions may be made to the Roundup Riders of the Rockies Heritage and Trails Foundation, 1720 S. Bellaire, Ste 300, Denver, Colo., 80222. ❖

I need to pick through Ivy's hair again. She sits on the bathroom stool while I bend and spray Argan oil and comb with the sharp silver teeth. My stomach dropped when I thought I found another bug but it was only glitter, because that's Ivy. And I laughed, shaky with relief.
The new direction that I mentioned for the coming year is to focus on only taking work that fits into my interests and life as a wife, mom, and homemaker -- not the other way around. I plan on setting days when I'll tuck my laptop beneath the couch and instead will simply do something else productive and fulfilling, offline.
During a recent daydreaming session I worried that people don't stare out windows anymore. How do we imagine bigger things if we aren't looking at the sky? We look down at a screen and just take other people's dreams and goals and try to pass them off as our own. Have we become too lazy to even dream our own dreams?
I still daydream, today at the snow, and sometimes I wait for the uncomfortable to get me to finally bend but I do, I bow, and stretch, and comb this life out.

MARTINSBURG It is going to be a hot one.
As temperatures soar and humidity levels climb, area residents are encouraged to make sure their elderly relatives and neighbors can handle the heat. While few people like extreme heat, it is particularly dangerous for seniors.
Michelle Carver, nurse for Home Instead Senior Care in Martinsburg, said that checking on the elderly as early in the day as possible is important. But it is important to make sure to check on them in the evening as well.

Norm Slemenda, center, helps his granddaughter, 8-year-old Kate, reel in a fish Monday afternoon at the pond at Poor House Farm Park. Looking on is Kate's brother Jack, 10. Jack and Kate are visiting the area from Cleveland, Ohio, and enjoyed weather that hit the low 90s Monday. The hot spell is expected to continue through the week.
"Check in with them and make sure they know what the weather is going to be like," Carver said.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, and on average, extreme heat claims more lives than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightning combined.
It's important for all people experiencing the high temperatures to drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine, Carver said. It is also helpful to keep blinds pulled so rooms stay dark, and to have an extra fan on standby.
"Fans can be energy savers," Daronda Toole, general manager of Home Instead, said. "And have plenty of ice on hand."
Carver said items should be prepared ahead of time in case of emergency such as a power outage.
Items on an emergency list should include flashlights, water and foods that can be hydrating and easily opened with a can opener.
"Canned fruits and tuna are easy," Carver said.
People who have breathing problems, such as COPD, are more at-risk for problems during the heat. Additionally, certain people who use medications, including some blood pressure medications need to limit the amount of sunlight they are exposed to.
"The elderly need to avoid any type of strenuous activity. They shouldn't be worrying about mowing their yard, watering plants or even going to the grocery store," Carver said. "Sometimes even going to the mailbox is too much."
Another thing to keep in mind is that elderly people are often more concerned with their pets, if they have them, than themselves, Carver said. Offering to help water the cats or take the dog for a walk may be helpful.
NOAA is calling for temperatures reaching 95 degree every day this week, with Friday peaking at 96 degree.
