The Greene County School System believes the use of telecommunications
in instructional programs is an educational tool that facilitates communication, innovation,
resource sharing, and access to information. Due to the complexity of accessible networks
and the magnitude of potential information available on the Internet, students and staff using
telecommunications will comply with this policy and administrative procedures with regards to
technology use. Due to the changing nature of technology and due to changes recommended or
required by federal law, the Board of Education reserves the right to amend this policy.
The Board of Education, through its administrative staff, reserves the right to monitor
and filter all computer, electronic mail, voice mail, and Internet activity by students and
staff conducted at Greene County schools.
The Board of Education makes no assurances of any kind, expressed or
implied, regarding any telecommunication services provided. The school system or
individual schools in the system will not be responsible for any damages the student/user
suffers. Use of any information obtained via the Internet is at the user's own risk.
The school system specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of
information or software obtained through its electronic services.
The Internet network structure makes it extremely difficult for the
Board of Education and/or schools to completely regulate and filter the information received or
sent by students. As such, the Board of Education and/or schools cannot assure parents
that students will not access undesirable materials or send or receive objectionable
communications. The Board of Education can assure parents that the staff will be trained
and reasonable precautions, including content filtering and monitoring, will have been taken to
keep Greene County students safe from illegal and/or offensive material in compliance with FCC
In doing the most controlled monitoring possible, the schools will
enforce administrative procedures. Failure to comply with these administrative procedures
shall be deemed grounds for revocation of privileges and disciplinary and/or appropriate legal
action for both students and staff. A copy of the procedures shall be distributed to each
teacher in the school system. The Superintendent will instruct the administration at each
school to provide a student copy in the form the school deems appropriate (student handbook,
parent and student information sheet, etc.). The media center at each school and the
central office shall house a copy for public examination. In addition, copies of this
Appropriate Telecommunications Use Policy will be found on the Greene County Schools web page
(http.//www.greene.k12.ga.us), and a hard
copy will be housed at the Technology Department along with a copy of the Children's Internet
Protection Act.
It shall be the policy of the Greene County Board of Education that the
school district shall have in continuous operation, with respect to any computers belonging to
the school having access to the Internet:
A qualifying "technology protection measure," as that term is
defined in Section 1703(b)(1) of the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000; and
Procedures or guidelines developed by the Superintendent,
administrators, and/or other appropriate personnel which provide for monitoring the online
activities or users and the use of the chosen technology protection measure to protect against
access through such computers to visual depictions that are (i) obscene, (ii) child
pornography, or (iii) harmful to minors, as those terms are defined in Section 1703(b)(1) and
(2) of the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000. Such procedures or guidelines
shall be designed to:
Provide for monitoring the online activities of users to prevent, to
the extent practical, access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet and the World
Wide Web;
Promote the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail,
chat rooms, and other forms of direct communications;
Prevent unauthorized access, including so-called "hacking,"
and other unauthorized activities by minors online;
Prevent the unauthorized disclosure, use and dissemination of personal
identification information regarding minors; and
Restrict minors access to materials "harmful to minors" as
that term is defined in Section 1703(b)(2) of the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000
which state The term "harmful to minors" means any picture, image, graphic image
file, or other visual depiction that -
i. Taken as a
whole and with respect to minors, appeals to a prurient interest
nudity, sex, or excretion;
ii. Depicts,
describes, or represents, in a patently offensive way with respect
what is suitable for minors, an actual or simulated sexual act or sexual
actual or simulated normal or perverted sexual acts, or a lewd
of the genitals; and
iii. Taken as a whole,
lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value
I. Acceptable Use
Access to the school's Internet and networks is provided to all
students (individual work and whole group instruction) for educational purposes and research
consistent with the school's educational mission and goals.
All teachers shall sign a form saying they have read and understand the
administrative procedures for using the Internet and that they understand the consequences for
violation of these procedures.
II. Privileges
The Use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right.
Inappropriate use will result in cancellation of those privileges. The
Superintendent and/or his/her designee will make all decisions regarding user violation of this
policy or procedures addressing the use of telecommunications. With the approval of the
Superintendent, further restrictions may be structured to meet the needs at each school.
III. School Control
The principal of each school will maintain accurate records that
include the following:
A formal written request filed by a parent and/or guardian limiting a
student's telecommunications use to whole group instruction.
A signed Staff Supervision and Responsibilities Form for all employees
who are afforded telecommunication access.
All users should be mindful when using Greene County School System
technology that any actions taken by them will reflect upon the school system as a whole.
All users must behave in an ethical and legal manner.
Violations of acceptable conduct on the network will result in loss of
network privileges. Intentional misuse causing damage to the network or network components will
require financial reimbursement to the district for necessary repairs.
Computer network use is also governed by federal and state laws, which
specify punitive legal actions that can be taken as well as terms of imprisonment, and/or
financial fines.
IV. Staff Supervision and
Staff members will become familiar with this policy and applicable
procedures and will be trained in the use of appropriate telecommunications and informed of
"no right to privacy". The Technology Director and/or designee will lead this
instruction. The instruction will include training and any needed clarification on this
policy and applicable procedures during the school year. No staff member will have access
to the Internet within a classroom or other school setting unless the staff member has
completed appropriate training and signed the
Teacher Responsibility Form. When, in the course of their duties, staff members
become aware of student violation of this policy, they must correct the student and address the
matter in accordance with this procedure and the procedures outlined in the Greene County Board
of Education's general disciplinary policies and procedures.
V. Compensation
The student and/or student's parents/legal guardians will be
responsible for compensating the school system for any losses, costs or damages incurred by the
school system relating to or arising from any student violation of this policy or applicable
VI. Security
Network security is a high priority. If the student or teacher
identifies or perceives a security problem or a breech of these responsibilities on the
Internet or network, the user must immediately notify the principal, technology coordinator, or
appropriate staff available. The student must not demonstrate the problem to other student
users. Any student identified as a security risk may be denied access to the network.
Passwords shall be kept confidential. Staff members who reveal
passwords to students will be responsible for compensating the school system for any losses,
costs or damages incurred by the school system relating or arising from any student violation
of this policy or applicable procedures. Additionally, staff members will be responsible
for compensating the school system for any losses, costs or damages incurred by the school
system relating or arising from their violation of this policy or applicable procedures.

Universal Uclick announces the addition of "Peanuts" by Charles Schulz, one of the world's most well-known and widely-syndicated comic strip franchises, to the fold of the world's largest independent syndication company.
Through an agreement with Peanuts Worldwide, Universal Uclick will distribute Peanuts in print, online and on mobile devices in February 2011.
"We are honored to represent this giant of the comic strip industry," said John McMeel, co-founder, chairman and president of Andrews McMeel Universal, parent company of Universal Uclick. "We firmly believe in the significance and vitality of comic strips as an art form, and Peanuts exemplifies those traits.
"In addition, Peanuts is a perfect fit with the tradition and reputation of the remarkable talents that Universal Uclick has represented, including such iconic strips as 'Calvin and Hobbes,' 'The Far Side,' 'Doonesbury,' 'Garfield,' 'For Better or For Worse,' 'Cathy' and 'Ziggy'."
"This is a monumental occasion for Universal Uclick, as well as a significant step forward in the industry," said Hugh Andrews, vice chairman of AMU. "Integral to this agreement is the fact that AMU is an all-in-one syndication and publication partner. We provide unique opportunities to our creators with worldwide mobile, print and online syndication and licensing through Universal Uclick, in addition to books and calendars through Andrews McMeel Publishing. No other syndication partner can offer the range of services Universal Uclick has at its disposal."
"After recently acquiring my husband's copyrights with Iconix, we are pleased to be moving the syndication of the Peanuts comic strip to such a top industry player, especially since Universal has been such a long time publishing partner to the brand," said Jean Schulz, widow of Charles M. Schulz.
"We look forward to Universal's syndication of the Peanuts comic strip into traditional and new media applications so a new generation of readers and viewers can enjoy the message of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and all the Peanuts characters."
On October 2, 1950, the Peanuts comic strip launched in seven American newspapers. Little did anyone know the impact the brand would have around the world for decades to come. Nearly 60 years later, Peanuts animated specials have become a seasonal tradition, thousands of consumer products are available in virtually all retail channels, and the comic strip appears in over 2,200 newspapers, in 75 countries and 21 languages.
Charlie Brown kicking the football, Linus and his blanket and Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano are images to which everyone can relate. Phrases such as "Security Blanket' and "Good Grief" have become a part of the global vernacular.
Peanuts will join more than 200 comic strip and cartoon features on the Universal Uclick comics web portal, GoComics.com, and will be available in daily GoComics emails, which users can customize to include their favorite strips from GoComics.com. Users of the GoComics iGoogle gadget and Yahoo! widget may add Peanuts to their selected titles. The strip will also be available on mobile devices including iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad through the GoComics mobile interface.
Andrews McMeel Publishing will continue to publish Peanuts calendars, which include the 2011 Peanuts Wall, Mini-Wall, Day-to-Day, Mini Day-to-Day, and Desk calendars, and in 2009 published Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years, an anniversary tribute in a lavishly produced, large- format slip-cased volume.
About Andrews McMeel Universal (AMU)
Founded in 1970 by Jim Andrews and John McMeel, AMU comprises: Universal Uclick (UU), the world's largest independently owned licensed property and newspaper syndicate and the leading digital entertainment provider of humor, comics, editorial cartoons, daily games and text features for the desktop, Web and mobile phones; Andrews McMeel Publishing (AMP), an industry leader in trade, cookbook and calendar publishing and a staple on best-seller lists annually; and AMUSE (Andrews McMeel Universal Syndicated Entertainment), providing film and television opportunities for AMU creators and content in partnership with the William Morris Agency.

Class-action litigation over New Jersey's red-light cameras has expanded to six more cities and towns and could grow in the weeks ahead.
Marlton lawyer Joseph A. Osefchen has filed suits in Glassboro, Monroe Township, Newark, Edison, Stratford, and Woodbridge in the last 10 days contending that motorists were illegally fined for running red lights after municipal traffic officials failed to complete required inspections of the cameras and intersections.
Osefchen filed his first such lawsuit last month in Cherry Hill.
"I've probably heard from more than a hundred motorists since then," Osefchen said Thursday. "Nineteen municipalities had their red-light-camera permits revoked [by the state], and I plan to sue every one of them."

GREG WHITE'S father, also named Greg, experienced some success in the pound ball version of football, but drifted away from the sport before reaching high school.
He still regrets that decision and often expresses that thought to his son.

Speaking of dreams . . .
By now you might be aware that West Catholic High topped Monsignor Bonner, 42-24, in a nonleague game Saturday at Upper Darby. The kicker is this: The Burrs did so thanks to one of the most amazing comebacks in city history, both in terms of the deficit and the outrageous swoooosh that erased it.

An early-morning barn fire on Akerman Lane in New Hampton kills two goats and several chickens.
Officials said the fire department received calls from multiple passing cars on Route 104 of a barn that was up in flames.
Authorities said they were not able to save the barn.
The fire does seem to be accidental in nature, according to the chief.
According to officials, it appears the homeowner had left for some time and has yet to return.
The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical problem.
After their investigation, officials said it appears there was electricity running through the barn.

Owner Fred Romanchak should be proud of what is coming out of the Kula Lodge's kitchen these days. Never before have such bold and inspiring tastes been served there.
"It's big and it's bold and our focus is bringing in the neighborhood to try it," says Executive Chef Will Munder. "I'm starting a weekly selection of small plates, so you can come in at sunset, watch the views and sip a couple glasses of wine."
While the Kula Lodge is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, only dinner entrees come in half- and full-size portions.

Choose from the Cornish hen marinated in garlic, shallots, olive oil and rosemary, grilled and served with a porcini and truffle mustard; or the ravioli that changes daily. It may be with caramelized shallots, spinach and cheeses.
"I've changed the pizza crust, too. Now the edges are braided. We've extended pizza service through dinner until 8 p.m."
The outdoor wood-burning pizza oven heats these artisan pies, such as the funghi and truffle with wild and domestic mushrooms.
You may sit outside near the oven in a multilevel hobbit land of tables with umbrellas and garden paths. But do bring a jacket. Or opt to stay indoors in the main dining room.
Chef Munder has also updated the Caesar salad, served as a wedge with anchovy crisps; and does a Waipoli chef's salad that is so flavorful, you'll never miss the meat.
Other must-trys are the new shrimp martini, a raw ceviche in a fancy glass; and the vegetable tamale with house-made masa.

CBS (Sun., Feb. 9, 9 p.m. ET)
Be warned that this Hallmark Hall of Fame production is based on a story by William Faulkner, who did not win his Nobel Prize for page-turners, and has a teleplay by Horton Foote, whose earlier work {Tender Mercies, The Trip to Bountiful) is hardly marked by slam-bang action. You won't be on the edge of your seat for two hours, but you will be amply rewarded for the time you spend with this 1920s odyssey of a prison-farm inmate (Arliss Howard) who doggedly carries out the warden's order to row to the rescue of a poor, pregnant woman (Jeanne Tripplehorn) trapped in a tree by a raging flood on Old Man River, the Mississippi.
Abandoned by her husband, the woman gives birth in the midst of the emergency, and the convict is forced into a sort of surrogate fatherhood as fate floats them from Mississippi cotton country to the Louisiana bayou to the city of New Orleans and all the way back. The journey is not entirely without adventure, but our principal pleasure lies in watching these characters go with the flow and open their eyes to a few of life's possibilities. Howard plays an inarticulate man with remarkable expressiveness. Tripplehorn is beautifully down-to-earth. And the location photography is a natural wonder.

When you turn on your TV next week, don't be surprised to see Samantha Harris giving away money – lots of money.
The Dancing with the Stars co-host will take over for Meredith Vieira on Who Wants to be a Millionaire next week.
"I've never hosted a game show before," enthuses Harris, who found stepping into Vieira's shoes "incredibly exciting." Says Harris: "I loved being able to have a couch-side chat to connect with the player."
She also enjoyed helping make people a little richer. "I had a lot of winners when I was on," she tells PEOPLE.
But not to worry, Dancing fans: Harris isn't about to give up her main gig. "I'm as excited to be on this show as I ever was," says Harris, who's completing her seventh season on DWTS. "I know I sound like a broken record every season, but everybody is so nice. Really, we have a great group of people. There are no egos."
As for who's going to take home the mirror ball trophy this season, Harris says, "It's anybody's game."
"A lot of people are shocked that Ty Murray is still here but he really touches the audience because he is so unassuming," she adds. "He's that fish out of water and he really has improved every week – that improvement can really take somebody far."

Winter is barley wine season, so I went out and grabbed every annually released BC barley wine I could get my hands on. Trouble is, it's tough to drink a whole bottle of barley wine on your own, what with the high alcohol content. It's even tougher to drink five, so I had a few friends over for an epic barley wine THROWDOWN! What that really means is we drank a bit of each one, in full comparison mode.
A few years back, a tasting like this wouldn't have been possible. It's only in the past three or so years that we've seen barley wines regularly released by BC's top breweries. What with breweries popping up seemingly every month, I'm sure there will be even more to choose from next year. Note: I don't count Russell's one off Nautical Disaster or Scandal brewing's offering as annual barley wines. I don't even count Scandal as a real brewery, nice try Pacific Western, can't fool me.
I'll start from the top, so as to highlight BC's finest examples.
1. Central City Thor's Hammer 2011
Hand's down the best, though we cheated on this one. Our bottle was a 2011, since no recent batches have been bottled, though you could get 2013 at their brewpub in January. This year's Thor's Hammer probably would have won anyway, since it's always outstanding. A year in the cellar (2011 was actually released in bottle's in late 2012) didn't hurt though, this beer was incredibly smooth and had an amazing depth of flavour.
2. Howe Sound Woolly Bugger 2012
Another cheat, we had a bottle of 2012 kicking around, so we tossed it into the mix. Turns out aging barley wine is a good thing to do. Woolly Bugger 2012 smoked the pants off 2013. It was just so much richer and smoother to drink, dangerously couldn't taste the alcohol at all.
3. Granville Island Barley Wine 2013
Note to everyone, you can still buy 2012/13 verticals of this beer at the better beer stores around Vancouver, so go buy some. This is a really solid barley wine, very fruity and malty. Despite drinking this guy fresh, the liquor was well hidden by the body of the beer. Another great seasonal from Vern at GI.
4. Driftwood Old Cellar Dweller 2013
A fantastic beer, but is it a barley wine? We didn't rate this one very highly because it didn't measure up to the other barley wines, mostly because it more closely resembled a super imperial IPA. There's little to no malt character of fruitiness. It pours golden in colour and hops are very prominent. Amazing aroma, but just not a barley wine. It will be very interesting to see how this one ages.
5. Howe Sound Woolly Bugger 2013
Another solid barley wine, but it just didn't compare favourably to 2012. You could taste the alcohol and this one was sharp, where 2013 was smooth. This is going to be a great beer in six months to a year.
Quite clearly the loser in our eyes, and the only one I don't recommend trying. I've enjoyed this beer in the past, but 2013 had that metallic taste Phillips has become known for. Tasted hollow in comparison to the others.
What did I learn? I like barley wine a lot. Also, aging barley wine is a great thing to do.

The Real Affordable Care Act Battle: Constitutionalists vs. Confederates
When I was growing up in central Virginia, corner stores typically sold hats emblazoned with the Stars and Bars declaring "Lee Surrendered but I Didn't." I never imagined that five men in black robes might hand Confederates a victory through the Supreme Court that they could not win at the original Constitutional Convention nor later on the battlefields of the Civil War.
Yet we may be at that juncture today. As our country anxiously awaits the Supreme Court's verdict on health-care reform, the media has reduced the case to the narrow terms of a political horserace. This characterization ignores the enormous significance of this case — a shift from the modern fight between liberal and conservative Constitutionalists back to an older and more nationally divisive debate between Constitutionalists and Confederates.

Two Lamps
this wiki
The Two Lamps, also known as The Lamps of the Valar, refer to Illuin (Sky-blue), the lamp which formerly stood at the northern end of Arda and Ormal (High-gold) which stood at the southern end of Arda.
After the Valar entered the world and brought order to the seas and the lands and the mountains, and subdued the fires of Melkor, there was a need for light. Aulë at the prayer of Yavanna forged two mighty lamps, Illuin and Ormal. Varda filled the lamps with light and Manwë hallowed them, and the Valar set them up on high pillars, Illuin in the furthest north upon the pillar of Helcar, Ormal in the deepest south upon the pillar of Ringol. In the middle of Arda, where the light of the lamps mingled, amid the Great Lake lay the Isle of Almaren, where the Valar dwelt.[1]
The pillars were cast down and their lamps broken by Melkor. Lands were broken, seas arose in tumult, and destroying flame from the broken lamps poured out over the Earth, marring it, causing the Valar to flee Middle-earth for the Land of Aman, where they established the domain of Valinor.[1] Where Illuin fell, the Sea of Helcar was formed, of which Cuiviénen was a bay.[2]
Other Versions of the LegendariumEdit
In Tolkien's older writings (not used in the published version of The Silmarillion), the Valar sought peace with Melkor, asking his assistance with fixing the lamps upon Arda. Melkor, still envious and hateful of the rest of the Valar, agreed to give them a strong, sturdy substance. He gave Aulë ice. Melkor permitted the Valar to do as they wished until the fateful day when the Lamps' light and heat finally melted the ice. The pillars crashed upon Arda, flooding it with water and darkness.[citation needed]

Jack Johnson nabs No. 1 spot
Jack Johnson posted the biggest digital sales week in history on his way to taking the No. 1 spot on the nation's album sales chart.
"Sleep Through the Static" (Brushfire Universal) sold 375,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Of that total, 139,000 were digital sales, besting the former record holder, Kanye West's "Graduation."
Johnson's disc was one of six debuts in the top 15.
Sheryl Crow's "Detours" (A&M), her sixth album, sold 92,000 copies in its opening sesh, her lowest first week since her debut album 12 years ago sold 80,000.
Lenny Kravitz's "It Is Time for a Love Revolution" (Virgin) sold 73,000 units to start at No. 4, an improvement on his last album, "Baptism," which sold 52,000 in its opening week.
k.d. lang's "Watershed" (Nonesuch) opened at No.8, the highest chart position in her career, selling 41,000 copies.
Atlantic's soundtrack to "Step Up 2" sold 31,000 to open at No. 13 and Kenny G's debut for Starbucks' hear Music, "Rhythm & Romance," posted similar numbers to come in at No. 14.
Last week's No. 1, Alicia Keys' "As I Am" fells to No. 3 despite a 30% sales boost to 80,000.
Next week's sales figures will benefit from the presence of Valentine's Day and feel the effect of the Grammy Awards. Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black," which sold 25,000 copies last week and rose 30 slots to No. 24, will likely return to the top 10. Herbie Hancock's "River: The Joni Letters," the album of the year winner, has been No. 1 on amazon.com for four days this week and should dramatically rise from the 5,000 copies it sold last week to put it sat No. 158.
Michael Buble's "Call Me Irresponsible" was already enjoying some Valentine leadup, rising to No. 30 from No. 69 and more than doubling sales to 22,000 last week.
In addition, the 25th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has top 15 potential as well.
Release of "Across the Universe" on DVD pushed up the deluxe edition of the soundtrack 380% in sales to 18,000. It rose 112 slots to No. 38. The standard edition of the soundtrack returned to the top 200 — No. 98 — on sales of 8,000.
On the other side of the pendulum, Mars Volta's "Bedlam in Goliath" slid to No. 51 from No. 3, selling 16,000 copies in its second week, a 71% fall.

THE first Irish woman to trek to the South Pole, Dr Clare O'Leary from Bandon, unveiled the memorial sculpture to Patrick Keohane, a member of the Scott Antarctic Expedition 100 years ago, before a large gathering at Lislee Court near Courtmacsherry on Sunday.
The magnificent life-sized bronze statue of the "forgotten hero" of Irish polar exploration was by sculptor Don Cronin from Knockroe, Bandon.
Special guests included Michael Smith, author of the book Great Endeavour about Irish Antarctic explorers and many descendants and relatives of Keohane, including his grandson Patrick Madigan and granddaughter Mary Underwood who travelled over from Devon where the Barryroe native resided for many years until his death in 1950.
A song specially composed for the historic event was performed by Michael O'Brien. Tributes were paid to the voluntary Patrick Keohane Memorial Sculpture committee and thanks expressed to West Cork Development Partnership for its grant aid and others who have donated to and supported the project in various ways.
The sculpture, which is now an attraction along the popular Seven Heads Walk, is located between Broadstrand and Blind Strand, Barry's Point, close to Keohane's birthplace in 1879.

To the Editor:
I have concerns about the Lake Alice Cove Condominium project that has been approved for development. My first concern is that this development intends to put a marina on Lake Alice in the bay across from the golf course on Echo Valley Road. This is one of those cases where location is everything. If the development were to be located on the main body of the lake that would be one thing, but it's not. Instead, they want to put it in an environmentally sensitive part of the lake that cannot support the volume of boat traffic and human influence that a development of this size would produce. This bay is shallow, with a maximum depth of about 5 feet, and it is filled with stumps and weeds. This area is a major spawning site for most species of fish that can be found in Lake Alice. It is also an important resting site for migrating waterfowl and is an important nesting site for the waterfowl that remain here – primarily mallards, wood ducks, mergansers and Canada geese. The lake also has a breeding pair of loons that have been seen in this bay. There is a bald eagle that has been nesting along the shore of this bay for years. A group of cranes have been using the floating bog located in this bay as a nesting site for over 10 years. We would loose all of this if the marina is allowed to be built here.
The Dec. 14, 2006, Lincoln County Planning and Zoning Committee minutes state that the DNR and the Army Corps of Engineers were contacted about the plan to put a marina in the bay across from the golf course, by the head of the Lake Alice Lake Association. They both expressed the opinion that this marina would have a negative impact on the lake. Lake Alice is not a good waterskiing lake due to the large number of stumps it contains. Lake Alice is a good fishing lake. If this marina is built, and the spawning grounds are lost, it is unreasonable to think that the lake could be restocked enough to make up for the loss of natural reproduction from the multiple species of fish that call Lake Alice home. This marina is not worth the high cost we would have to pay in terms of the damage that would be done to the lake, the wildlife and the environment.
Just hearing about the condominium development, it may seem alright until you look at the plat for the development and put it into context. Looking at the condominium plat, a number of the lots on the plan don't comply with the current zoning restrictions and codes for Lincoln County. The Lincoln County Property Owner's Guide to Shore Land Zoning, which the county published in 2004, states on page 7 the restrictions that are currently in place. Lake Alice is classified as a low sensitivity lake. This category includes the following restrictions – the lot size needs to be 30,000 sq. feet with a lot width of 150 feet. The ordinary high water setback for structures is 75 feet, with a side yard set back cumulative of 25 feet with a minimum of 10 feet. There is a buffer depth of 35 feet, with a viewing or access corridor that is no more than 30 feet in any 100 feet of frontage. The town of King's zoning district map states that on property zoned rural residential 3, which the condominium property is, the lots must be 50,000 sq. feet in size. The zoning office for Lincoln County stated that because this is a condominium, they look at it as a whole, not as individual lots so they don't have to follow any of the zoning restrictions that are in place.
If you look at the plat, the condominiums "common" areas appear to be either roads or wetlands. The zoning committee minutes from Dec. 14, 2006, state that "in 2008 the owners of the King's Dam will be putting 3-1/2 feet on top of the dam's spillway which means that 1,464 feet will be the effective flood plain for the lake. This is a mandated order by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission." Looking at the plat, it appears that some of the lots numbered 28-47, if not most of them, would be located on the new flood plain. Lots 20 thru 28 may also be affected by the flood plain. In addition to that, lots 28-47 are surrounded by wetlands and I see no buffer zones designated between the wetlands and the lots on the plat. As an individual property owner, I would be mandated by the DNR to have a designated buffer zone established to protect the wetlands.
In the Lincoln County Zoning Committee minutes from Dec. 14, 2006, the condominium developers want to put in a road to get to lots 28-47. The location of the road on the plat shows that it would have to cross a wetland. This road would block the natural flow/drainage of the wetland into Lake Alice.
On the plat you will also see that of the 20 lots that make up lots 28-47, 18 of these are less than 1 acre and of those, six of them are between 0.57-0.40 acres in size. In the Lincoln County Zoning Committee minutes from 2006, the developers were asked about what type of septic systems would be used by the development. The developers responded that they are looking at "individual systems for the units encroaching upon the adjacent common area, otherwise they will look at a common system." How do you put a home and a septic system on a lot that is less than 0.5 acres, and lot number 22 is only 0.35 acres in size? What about the 20 lots numbered 28-47 that are located on the flood plain and are surrounded by wetland? No where on the plat do I see any area that has been set aside as a waste management area, or are the developers planning on using the roads and wetland areas that are designated as "common" areas for the sites septic system?
Joan Guisto is on record in the Dec. 14, 2006, Zoning Committee minutes as stating "that a development of this size would have a negative impact on Lake Alice. The lake quality, shoreline, water quality, fish and wildlife habitat would all suffer. Roads and septic would have a significant impact on the environment." The point was also made that the recent drought experienced by the area makes a lot of areas that are really wetlands not appear so.
In the Dec. 14 meeting minutes, town of King also went on record as stating that they were unaware of the development, even though a large part of it is in the town of King. The zoning committee responded by saying that the township didn't need to be notified until after the plat was recorded. They also state that approval of this plan is not an issue because it was already approved and the zoning committee had no jurisdiction over condominium plats. To me it sounds like what they are saying is – we don't have to tell you about a development until it's approved and once it's approved there's not a lot we can do about it. With so many different people bringing up so many environmental concerns regarding this development, I want to know why there wasn't a well publicized public hearing held regarding this development so that the people who are going to have to live with the effects of a development of this size could express their feelings regarding it.
If this development goes thru as it is currently laid out, and the environment and lake are negatively impacted, is the county going to reduce the property taxes for everyone who lives on Lake Alice or near the condominium development to reflect the damage that has been done?
I have heard that the developers have stated that if they don't get to put in a marina, they won't be able to sell the property. There is a private boat launching area one mile from the development where you can launch a boat for a nominal fee. If you go an additional mile down the road, there is a public boat landing. If these landings are good enough for all of the property owners who live on Lake Alice, I don't see how this would be a hardship for the condominium residents.
I am not against development, but I do think that we need to start thinking outside of the urban building model, especially in rural residential areas. The true value of this development lies in the very things that will be damaged or lost if this development is allowed to proceed as it is currently laid out.
If less lots were on the condominium property that complied with the current zoning regulations, and were not located on the flood plain, a communal area could be established that had a dock for fishing and launching non-motorized watercraft. Picnic tables and benches could be placed on shore where they could be enjoyed by the residents.
The county and townships have developed restrictions and codes that are designed to protect our environment and resources. It isn't right that just by calling a subdivision a condominium you don't have to follow any of the established rules. If these codes are good enough for the individual property owners in the county, they should also be good enough for larger developments to follow as well.

More than 30 people in at least six states have contracted fungal meningitis and at least five have died.
The Centers for Disease Control said the infections came from contaminated steroid injections given for back pain.
So far, at least 35 people across Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina, and Indiana have contracted fungal meningitis.
Medical professionals are now scrambling to warn thousands of people in nearly two dozen states.
The injections are a common treatment for back pain. Those who got the shots between July and September may still be at risk.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include severe headache, nausea, dizziness, and fever. The time from infection to onset of symptoms is anywhere from a few days to a month.

Damn alot of errors, sorry guys i cant edit my posts on this stupid thing
I dont't thing its all about insulin, and i dont think PB should be viewed as a lowcarb diet.
Protien spikes insulin anyway, so unless your eating sticks of butter ur gonna be pumpin out insulin every meal anyway. But the reason why LC works for so many of us is because it removes those blood sugar highs and lows. Fat is also very satisfying.
So you eat less, which leads to a calorie defecit. And PBers do it the best because, well me for example i need 120gs of protien a day. So i figure tht out first (20oz ground turkey -800 cals.) tht leaves me with 1000 cals left, and even if i wanted to blow all those on carbs, i can have like 6-7 sweet potatoes, or like 12 bags of green beans or god knows how much brocolli
And 12 bags of sweet potatoes is i think aound 96carbs anyway...
So guyz, we got this shit. There isnt a healthier way to eat. Weather us eating 400 carbs or 40 carbs, ur eating healthy and if ur satisfied and in a calorie defi it ( dont habe to be extreme, 300-500cals a day) and us gonna lose weight.
And i typed all this out on an iphone so sorry about typos, but mirite or mirite? I say increSe ur carbs as much as you want ( but then, u know, decrease the fat a little too. Its all got to even out.)
Damn alot of errors, sorry guys i cant edit my posts on this stupid thing
Or you could blow it on that stick of butter. mmmmmm....
And 12 bags of sweet potatoes? 12 oz maybe. I think your phone autocorrected something into "bags."

I'm having a little trouble reading all that. What's your point?
pootietang? that you?
Take a 500 pound dude who keeps eating and eating and can't stop. Surely a lot of it is carbs but he will also be taking in a lot of satiating fat too, but he is still hungry. Why? Leptin of course. His brain can't see leptin and other satiety hormones. What I think low carb does is it reduces serum triglycerides in the insulin resistant and then less triglycerides damage the leptin receptors, so people burn more and eat less.
Stabbing conventional wisdom in its face.
Anyone who wants to talk nutrition should PM me!
Yeah, I think you've got it wrong. Insulin isn't a problem. Insulin resistance, and chronically increased insulin is. That comes about from a constant high carb diet.
Paleo works for several reason, carb 'restriction' to normal, anthropologically historic levels is just one of them.
I think you are wrong about a very important point with Insulin: every body reacts differently to carbohydrates. There is no "one way works for everyone." Similarily, one person may be ketogenic on 100 grams of carbs a day and someone else may need to cut it to 20 grams a day to achieve the same effect (i.e. ketosis). And, yes, protein may spike insulin but a normal person is not going to store protein as fat, assuming they are not overeating such that there is a surplus of calories. If you are eating VLC it is extremely hard to overeat that much...especially when your body isnt getting the hunger symptoms every 2-3 hours that it used to get when eating a CW diet. That is a huge advantage for a ketogenic diet.
So, following a ketogenic diet is beneficial as a guideline for most of the people on these message boards.Eating ketogenic provides the best chance for everyone's body to regulate their normal hormonal pathways while simultaneously fulfilling all of our nutritional requirements AND as well as allowing weight loss. Is there another lifestyle that can do this effectively? No, there isnt. Not a one. VLC is a very good way to go for most people on here.
If you can just get your....mind together....then come on across to me.....
James Marshall (Jimi)Hendrix
It would be just lovely to eat to fullness, but what if you never feel full or satiated? That is the current situation I am in. I was eating more fats and have just increased my proteins to help feel fuller, but I understand that this will take time and that Rome wasn't built in a day. At this point in time whilst I am still damaged on the inside from eating CW, I could eat over 3000 calories a day on PB and still be hungry because of leptin sensitivity. There is no doubt in my mind that when this issue finally sorts itself out, I will be on the path to better health

I might be the only guy in America who likes the Dodge Monaco. Chrysler has been building this car all year and has sold only enough to fill an averaged sized parking lot. In fact, if you open an Automotive News and look at the inventory of new cars manufacturers have stockpiled you'll see there are more homeless Monacos than any other car. If Chrysler quit building the Monaco today, it could sell the ones in inventory and have enough to last until next spring. There's almost a year's supply of Monacos already built. And that bodes extremely well for the consumer. Go to a Dodge dealer and mention Monaco, and you can not only get a good deal but also probably negotiate for the salesman to mow your yard, walk the dog and perform other perfunctory tasks. Dodge dealers are eager to sell these cars. You might think the reason the Monaco isn't selling is because it's a bad car or there's something wrong with it. That's not the case. It isn't selling because it hasn't had much marketing muscle applied to it, and Dodge dealers didn't really want it in the first place. You see, when Chrysler bought AMC a few years ago, it got some excess baggage from AMC's French partner, Renault. A little thing called the Renault Medallion came with the deal. In the buyout agreement, Chrysler promised to build a certain number of Medallions. With Renault occupying a rung only a notch or two above Yugo when it comes to quality, Chrysler set up the Eagle division and changed Medallion to Eagle Premier, the Monaco's nearly identical twin. The problem with the Monaco is that it is a car that doesn't leave any impression on you during the usual 10-or 15-minute new car test drive. If Chrysler wants to sell Monacos, it should let potential buyers take a demonstrator home for a few days. In that time, the Monaco will grow on you. It is fundamentally a decent car - with a good ride, nice handling, fine performance, above-average fuel economy and a comfortable interior. It does have a few quirks that, depending on your point of view, either give the car character or underscore every reason why French cars never have sold well in the United States. The Monaco is powered by 3.0 liter overhead cam V-6 that breathes heavily when pressure is applied to the accelerator. Stepping on the gas provokes a symphony of interesting - perhaps pleasing - mechanical sounds from underneath the hood. This fuel-injected engine develops 150 horsepower and is connected to a smooth-shifting, four-speed overdrive automatic that drives the front wheels. Europeans have been making front-wheel-drive cars longer than American automakers, and the French expertise in that area really shows in the Monaco. You cannot tell it is a front-wheel-drive car unless you open the hood and look at the layout of the drivetrain. I like the Monaco's size. It proves you don't have to drive a car as big as an oil tanker to seat five adults comf ortably. Chrysler claims the Monaco has more room than any other midsize sedan. That's believable. Foot room and headroom are excellent. The neatly contoured rear seat is one of the best I've sat in a long time. The test car came with gray leather seats. There are two bucket seats up front separated by a floor-mounted shifter. The front seats are supportive and comfortable. The driving position is excellent. You have a very good view of the road, unobscured by the steering wheel or hood. If the car does have a weakness, it would have to be the instrument panel. The switches that operate all major controls - except the turn signals - are hard to find and operate. The turn signal lever is different, if not unique. It's a flipperlike device that is mounted on the dash rather than the steering collmn. It does not move left or right, but rather up and down. Controls for the lights, radio and air conditioner all need a major rethink. Most are small and require the dri er to take his eyes off the road for far too long. The Monaco has an easy-to-read full set of gauges and a computer that allows the driver to time trips and record mileage either in miles or kilometers. Something else about the test car baffled me - it came with an infrared remote door locking/unlocking device. But unlike some GM cars that use a remote locking system, you have to be within 2 feet of the Monaco's windshield for the thing to work. The GM system works from about 25 feet away. I found that most of the time the Monaco was quicker and easier to unlock using the key. Anyway, once you get in and get under way, you find the Monaco's engine is responsive, and the car is able to glide over the road with competence and stability. You will get about 28 miles per gallon if you drive with a tender foot. The brakes and suspension also are very good. The turning radius is very tight. In broiling 98-degree Florida heat, I let the Monaco sit and idle with the air conditioner on for about 10 minutes. The temperature gauge didn't even budge, and the air conditioner continued to blow very cold. Few cars I've driven this year have behaved this well in the same situation. Dodge spokesman Mike Aberlich says Chrysler is going to ''relaunch'' the Monaco. Hopefully the second time around will be the charm. In the week I had the Monaco, I never saw another on the road. While it may not make eyeballs pop out at stoplights, the Monaco is a good car that, if you do some shrewd negotiating, you can get for a good price. The Monaco - quirks and all - deserves better than to be ignored.

Girl Scouts back at Tapawingo
BEEKMANTOWN — Camp Tapawingo opened as a Girl Scout summer camp for the first time in six years with a week-long session attended by 53 campers.
A recent open house, which also celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America, included a traditional scout flag ceremony, cookout lunch and a show with skits and songs performed by the campers.
Those affiliated with the Girl Scouts put in many hours preparing the grounds of the camp for the occasion, said Diane Germano, Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York major gifts specialist at the Plattsburgh Service Center.
The road that led to this summer's reopening was a long one, as the camp had been forced to close for a variety of reasons, she said.
The Ernest Turner Memorial Fund Inc., which has owned the camp since 1954, specifies that Tapawingo could be used by the Girl Scouts, Germano said. But it wasn't clear whether the Turner Fund or the Girl Scouts were financially responsible for maintaining the grounds and keeping the camp in usable condition, and this led to problems, she said.
While the camp's water supply meets state standards now, that wasn't always the case.
In 2000, the New York State Department of Health ruled that camps couldn't use lake water.
In an attempt to solve the problem, the Turner Fund drilled an expensive well. But water samples from the well were determined to be unsafe because it was drilled too close to the lake.
The nature of the camp's geography was essentially the problem, said Nikki Hilchey, grantwriter for the Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York's Plattsburgh Service Center and former director of Camp Tapawingo.
With the promise that water would be boiled or bottled water used instead, Tapawingo was permitted to stay open in 2005 and 2006.
But because the Health Department could not approve the camp and the water problem had not been solved, Camp Tapawingo closed at the end of the summer of 2006.
And the Girl Scouts were not able to take action to keep Tapawingo open, Hilchey said.
"Because we don't own that property, we had no control over that," she said. "It was very difficult." The water issues have since been resolved.
Hilchey has a personal connection to the camp. Years ago, she was a camper there and later went on to be a program aide and a staff member before she became director.
"It's a site I absolutely adore," she said.
The transition was made easier for her because, in 2007, she began a job as a full-time employee of the Girl Scouts.
Hilchey applied for funding from United Way of the Adirondack Region last year to help girls with the cost of attending Girl Scout programs.
"When we applied for the grant, we didn't know it would be for Tapawingo," she said.
A $1,500 seed grant was secured and set for use in last summer's programs, but an extension on the grant was requested because not enough girls registered for camp.
It was used for this summer's week of camp, reducing the price of a week from $180 to $80 for girls who qualified.
In past years, six or seven weeks of camp were offered at Tapawingo, but this year's budget allowed for only one week, Hilchey said.
To participate, girls had to be registered with the Girl Scouts but didn't have to have any previous experience with the organization, Hilchey said.
Girl Scout activities are organized into six "pathways:" troop, camp, series, events, travel and virtual.
A scout may choose to just participate in camps, for instance, Hilchey said.
The open house gave members of the Turner Fund Board and Girl Scout representatives an opportunity to compile a history of the camp.
Its history isn't well known, Germano said.
"We're hoping to get a true documented record of everything," and that process began at the open house.
Hilchey said the two main buildings at the camp, Rainbow Dining Hall and the Arts and Crafts Shack, were built in 1987. A camp staff member donated the funds to build an outdoor pavilion in the early 1990s.
Hilchey and Germano are pleased that lasting memories were once again made at Tapawingo.
This year, former campers sent their daughters, and parents whose older daughters went to the camp sent their younger siblings, Hilchey said.
"We're all so excited that this facility is being used and the girls can have the experience that so many of us have had," she said.

Description: The EKCYP is an on-line database intented to provide the youth sector with a single access point to reliable knowledge and information about young people's situation across Europe.
Council conclusions on the role of voluntary activities in sport in promoting active citizenship, 3128th EDUCATION, YOUTH, CULTURE and SPORT Council meeting, Brussels, 28 and 29 November 2011.
The council conclusions on 'the role of voluntary activities in sport in promoting active citizenship' adopted on 29 November 2011 underlines the fact that voluntary activities in sport are among the most attractive forms of engagement in Europe and belongs to the social heritage of sport. Voluntary activities in sport contribute to active citizenship, to the growth and strengthening of social capital, to the mobility of citizens through building competences as well as developing the European identity and promoting EU values. The conclusions also stress that voluntary activities need to be clearly distinguished from paid employment and cannot replace the overall responsibility of the state. The council of the European Union encourages EU Member states, the European Commission and sport stakeholders to create favourable conditions and ensure the development of voluntary activities in sport
President Wulff Meets German Scouts and Recognises their Volunteer EngagementGermany's Federal President, H.E. Christian Wulff, joined representatives of the three German National Scout Associations for campfire talks when he recently attended the 14th German Youth Welfare Days in Stuttgart.
Sitting in front of a panorama picture taken at the 2007 International Scout Camp held in the gardens of Schloss Bellevue, the President's Official Residence in Berlin, the President discussed the German Associations' key areas of activities. The President shared his viewpoints on international youth education, on sustainable development of children and young people, as well as on different areas of youth policy. "Young people not only need adequate space for volunteer engagement, but also our society's recognition of this engagement", the President said. He agreed that recent developments in Germany's school and higher education systems might have an impact on the work of youth associations, such as the Scout Movement. "If our society wants to see its young people be engaged in volunteer work, it needs to provide the appropriate and stable framework", added Gunnar Czimczik, youth policy spokes person of Ring Deutscher Pfadfinderverbände (RDP), the German National Scout Organisation.
The President noted with great interest the fact that Berlin was host city for the 21st European Scout Conference in August 2013 (as well as of concurrently held 14th European Guide and 14th European Guide and Scout Conferences).
Later in August, more than 150 young people had been invited to be present at a special ceremony in Berlin, when H.E. Christian Wulff, the German Federal President, for the first time ever, honoured 14 young people for their volunteer engagement in youth associations.
Among those honoured are Saskia Scholten, DPSG, and Benjamin Euen (from VCP). DPSG and VCP are two of the three member associations of German's National Scout Organisation, the Ring Deutscher Pfadfinderverbände (RDP).
"It is far from obvious that young people continue to be engaged in volunteer work while facing growing requirements of school and higher education. Particularly encouraging is the fact that those who were engaged when young usually continue to do so throughout their adult life to the benefit of their community," the President noted in a communiqué in which the recipients were introduced, adding that he felt it more than appropriate to recognise the young peoples' volunteer work.

"We checked him out and it had nothing to do with health," Byrnes said. "It was just fatigue. Our Danny Haren is like that -- he pitches better in the first half than the second."
He pointed to the fact Jackson went from 183 innings in 2008 to 214 last season, ranking seventh in the American League. Byrnes said his coaches will "look at video" and get to know Jackson before working on his slider, which lost its effectiveness.
Jackson, who will play for his third team in as many years, was asked about again being traded despite winning 27 games the past two seasons.
"It's not tough," he said. "I've always been one of those guys as long as a team wants me, it's never a bad thing. When a team doesn't want me, then we'd have a problem. I understand it's a business and that teams have to make adjustments."
