CALABASH—Town commissioners indicate they favor granting a 20-year vested rights agreement for a future 900-acre residential development at The Pearl Golf Links.
Commissioners' informal comments came at the end of an Oct. 1 workshop. They also set a public hearing for 6 p.m. Oct. 21 to take public comments and possibly act on the requested agreement.
SHALLOTTE—The town board of aldermen on Tuesday approved signing a contract for a state grant for a future park, but said they will no longer pursue locating the park at Wildwood Village.
Instead, board members said they prefer seeking a more suitable, centralized site.
"It clearly makes sense to me to sign the contact," alderman Walter Eccard said. "Properly positioned, the park could be a major asset into our vision plan, which is to develop the town."
Next week, The Brunswick Beacon will join together with the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce, Sunset Properties and ATMC TV to bring residents political candidate forums for some of the most hotly contested races in Brunswick County.
We'll be hosting forums for the towns of Carolina Shores, Calabash, Sunset Beach and Shallotte. A story in today's Beacon will detail the forums including dates, times, locations and format.
SUNSET BEACH—The town planning board last week approved recommending rezoning of golf course open areas and maintenance rules for docks, piers and bulkheads.
Town building inspector Jeff Curtis said the proposed golf-course rezonings from mainland residential to an open space district is to preserve the courses' existing open spaces.
"It's fulfilling a goal on our land use plan to try and preserve that as open space," Curtis said at the Oct. 1 public hearing.
SUNSET BEACH—Town Council on Monday approved an amendment allowing electronic gaming operations as a special use permissible on appeal to the town board of adjustment.
Four conditions must be met, including an off-street parking requirement of one space per gaming machine and one per employee on the largest shift. The town will add a definition for electronic gaming operation, including additional, in-depth information from town administrator Gary Parker to explain this type of business.
The town ordinance currently doesn't address this type of use.
On Oct. 9, the moon will get a new crater. The crater will not come from the normal source, such as a meteor hitting the surface. This time the crater will be an artificial depression.
The crater will be just a bit of cosmic surgery on the face of the old man in the moon, just below his chin.
The real reason for the new crater is to answer the age-old question: "Just how much water is on the moon?" The estimated quantity of water is believed to be 32 ounces per ton of top layer soil; equating to the driest Earth desert.
You can tie the landscape together with short, squat trees. Another problem commonly encountered when designing small spots is finding a way to provide low, space-conscious structure with trees that carry the bulk of their mass below eye level.
These trees are often important in tying together the landscape and connecting it to water features, garden art, and hardscaping. Their low visual center of gravity—typically from squat or weeping shapes—makes this possible.
Richie and Carrie Danford of Shallotte announce the birth of sons Thomas Abram and William Edward Danford. They were born on Aug. 6 at Grand Strand Medical Center.
Thomas, born at 9:32 a.m., weighed 5 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. William, born at 9:34 a.m., weighed 5 pounds and was 18 inches long.
They are joined at home by a sister, 3-year-old Rachel Danielle.
Early October marks the beginning of the season for an old southern garden favorite—camellia.
It blooms in shades of red, pink and white open on large, evergreen shrubs with glossy, dark-green foliage. The flowers you're seeing now are what the locals call "sasanquas" or just the "fall camellias."
Throughout the winter and into early spring, the common camellia (Camellia japonica) provides a show with blooms that are so perfect they could be computer-generated.
Years ago, my husband was given a piece of advice that was comforting and challenging. When he spoke of a family dilemma, a friend told him to pray for someone to cross his relative's path. Pray for the emergence of a person who would effect a change that was beyond the family's ability. He did. The person appeared. Change began.

"I would say we're faster, especially in the secondary," said middle linebacker Brandon Ogletree. "We're faster, but I don't think we're as physical yet as we could be."
Ogletree said there is another area the defense could improve.
"I also don't think we're as good at preparing yet as we could be," said Ogletree. "Last year we just had some veteran dudes that really led the way. We just kind of had a system where our preparation was on point all week long. I think once we learn how to do that, this defense will be really dominant. I don't think we've reached that level yet."
Preparation will be a challenge not only this week, but next week when the Cougars have a short week as they get ready to play Boise State on the road on Thursday.
"Yeah, if we can prepare well enough during the week and know what they're going to do, we have answers for it," said quarterback Riley Nelson. "Then it just becomes one-on-one battles, and you don't have to win every one. We just have to win a majority of them and put ourselves in a position to win the game."
One area where the Cougar offense needs to get better at is the interior of the offensive line. The struggles Utah has had sort of mirrors the issues BYU has had along the line. BYU's line needs to step up so that Utah can't get pressure while just rushing four and dropping the rest into coverage.
"It's very important," Nelson said. "Football, as much as it's become a passing game – and you see the kind of passing numbers that you see – it starts up front. It starts up front … with a psychological edge because it's a physical game. If you're running the ball well, then that means you're most likely being more physical than the other team. It's very important."
If there ever was a time to be running on all cylinders, it's now, as BYU will face a Utah team that embarrassed the Cougars at home last year. The approach the Cougars are taking is one of learning from their past mistakes.
"I think we have to make sure we don't repeat the mistakes we made last year," Ogletree said. "We have to take a look at the past and learn from it. I think we went into that game with a lot of confidence. You know, to lose the way we did was humbling, embarrassing, and you really reach a low point when that happens. I would say we definitely learned from it and we can still learn from it and hopefully we won't repeat it. We don't want to repeat it."
Nelson feels the same way.
"It's more of a learning tool," said Nelson. "In my experience with this game, there's been way too much emotional and psychological buildup going into this game. I think we need to keep that to a minimum, and we know it's going to happen just because [Utah] is a quality opponent and there is so much history behind it. We can't let last year's game feed that fire. We need to feed the fire of, 'Okay, these are our mistakes, learn from them and not make them again this Saturday.' Last year's game was more of a learning tool more than anything else."
In a historic rivalry game such as this, emotions can cloud judgment and adrenaline can hamper overall performance.
"I need to [keep my emotions in check], otherwise probably my first four passes will go about 20 rows into the stands, so I need to try and stay as calm, cool and collective as I can," Nelson said. "Yeah, I think that will allow me to direct our offense in a way that it needs to be directed."
Nelson might not have all the physical tools of past BYU quarterback greats, but what he does have is grit, leadership, determination and smarts, and those attributes have allowed him to rise up and become the starter. Nelson must do what he's done to grind out games in the past to come away with a victory against Utah.
"You can't be an ostrich [and bury your head] either, and I recognize it and embrace it," Nelson said about ignoring the emotions that come with the rivalry. "But at the same time it's football and I can't say it enough. It's football against a good quality opponent, so all the years of playing college football has taught that when you go into a situation like that, you can't play outside of character. You have to be you and you have to play the same way you would any given week. That's the approach I'm taking."
The Cougars are in a better position than they've been in recent years heading into this game against Utah. If the opportunity is once again squandered, the sour taste from this year's loss will only add to the pungent taste of last year's debacle.
"I think every year it's a big game that you want to win," said Ogletree, a senior who will be playing his last game against Utah. "If we lose, I'll probably regret it more than any other year because it will stick with me more just because it's the last one, but I don't think that makes it any more important."
Well, Cougar fans more than likely feel that's probably the reason why it should.

Dakota Gardner has no intention of leaving this weekend's New York State Wrestling championships disappointed.
After placing second last year, the Fredonia sophomore is focused on bringing home the Division II title at 138 pounds. The Hillbillies' last state champion was Kenny Betts in 2009. Gardner is one of 46 wrestlers who will represent Western New York at the annual event on Friday and Saturday at the Times Union Center in Albany.
It will be Gardner's third trip to states. He lost in last year's final, 6-2. "What I've realized is if you keep attacking, you're going to score on everybody," he said. "You can't half-finish moves, you won't score the takedown against the guys at that level. But if you keep going after kids, you can break them very easily up there because the mindset is so big with everyone watching. My eighth grade year when I went up there I wrestled a little timid versus the one seed, and last year I just attacked everybody and made it to the finals."
Clarence, Lockport and Maple Grove have three wrestlers each. There are two sets of brothers who qualified: Shane and Ryan Hetrick of Southwestern and Hector and Tito Colom of Dunkirk. Dunkirk went 23 years without wrestling before resurrecting the program six years ago. The Coloms are the first Dunkirk wrestlers to qualify for states since 1989.
The most experienced wrestler is junior Cody McGregor of Tonawanda, who will be making his fourth trip.
While the Section VI roster is talented, the best wrestler in the Section is not on it.
Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer, the 2013 New York State champion in the Division III 132 pounds had his season ended by a knee injury. The Cheektowaga senior ends his career with a school record 188 wins (92 pins) against 13 losses in five varsity seasons. He has signed a wrestling scholarship with the University of Iowa.
"He tweaked his knee at ECIC in a match against Amherst and it had been something that was bothering him," said Warriors coach Matt Haberl. "His father must have taken him in and the knee was getting worse. They didn't want to chance anything. It's a tough way to end it, we had all these goals, but hey, you have to look out for his safety. Renaldo is the toughest kid I've ever coached and if he could have gone, we would have went."
If he's healthy, Rodriquez-Spencer will compete next in the Dapper Dans on March 16 in Pittsburgh. He's part of a national team that will compete against Pennsylvania's state champions.
Here's a capsules look at each wrestler heading to the state capital:

at the gym today i worked biceps, triceps, and abs. After i was done working out i chilled for like 3 hours then threw punches at my heavy bag til my arms felt like they were gonna fall off. Since i worked bi's and tri's that day should i have let my arms rest for the rest of the day, or is it ok to get them tired again a just a few hours after working them out? thanks
Rest always give whatever mussle group you are working on atleast 1-2 days rest before working them out again So workout your legs or sholders or abs or any other mussle group for one day then swich up mussle groups every day.
Injuries occur when you workout the same muscle back-to-back days..
why are u still doing a program based on isolation exercises why not do full body workout instead

Skip to comments.Illinois museum has Santa Annas leg, and Texas site wants it
Posted on 05/10/2014 4:51:55 AM PDT by billorites
AUSTIN The petition to wrest Santa Annas leg from Illinois and bring it to Texas was flat-footed from the start.
But Texas museum officials believe their heart was in the right place, even if that prosthetic leg is not.
Last month, the San Jacinto Battle Monument and Museum launched a petition on the White House website, hoping to get 100,000 signatures to lure an important artifact to Texas. It suggested that the wooden and cork leg used by Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna the villain of the Alamo and Goliad and a figure deeply embedded in Texas lore should join other historical items in a Texas museum.
The leg, curiously enough, is in the Illinois State Military Museum in Springfield. And officials there are in no mood to give it up.
We know Santa Anna is a big deal in Texas history, said museum curator Bill Lear. But its here. Its going to stay here. You dont trade artifacts.
Given that attitude, San Jacinto museum officials thought a petition might do something to kick it loose.
(Excerpt) Read more at dallasnews.com ...
Texas should have a leg up on that request.
Good grief! People find the damnedest things to fight over.
I'm a 7th generation Texan—and I can't imagine wanting Santa Anna's artificial leg for a museum.
I must be missing something here..
I'd tell Texas to take a hike.
I live in Illinois and I can assure you that Texas won't be able to walk all over us.
Probably his shoe and Michigan has that.........we're not giving it back either.
You may keep it—with my blessing ...
Hmmm, the author of this article must have one leg with no prosthetic too.
Damn Yankees!
You're missing a leg.
I live in the bankrupt (financially and politically) state of Illinoisistan. I suggest the leg be put up for auction on Ebay. We need the $.
Careful here. The BLM may claim it as they do all property that there is any dispute as to who it rightfully belongs.
I reckon Texas doesn't have a leg to stand on.
People from Texas tried to dig up Moses Austin's grave in Potosi MO to take back to Texas, but were stopped. A concrete cap was poured over the grave site to prevent it from happening again.
Meanwhile, if I recall my history, Santa Anna's real leg was burred in Mexico City with lavish pomp and ceremony in something vaguely resembling Napoleon's tomb. This happened during one of the half-dozen times he was Mexico's president. However, a short time later, having overstayed his welcome, as he always did, angry Mexicans ran him out of town, dug out his leg, and threw it in the river.
Isn't there some story about Stonewall Jackson's actual leg buried somewhere other than with the rest of his body? And where's Santa Anna's real leg?
Crazy people are everywhere ..
Frankly, I'm stumped...
It's just a flesh wound...
Sounds like a knee jerk action by Illinois.
They will probably toe the line.
"Hmmm, the author of this article must have one leg with no prosthetic too."
Too subtle? Author's name: Christy Hoppe
No way man,
Put a sneaker on it and throw it in the waters around Cape Flattery.
Seems to be where everyone else disposes of em now a days.
He was a leg end in his own time.
When I visited the Chancellorsville battlefield some years ago, the guide pointed out the private property where Stonewall Jackson's arm (left?) was buried after being amputated. Jackson died about a week later.
Wow you weren't kiddin .....
As a fellow Illannoyan, I can assure you any money Texas might pay for that leg would go straight into Quinn's pocket.
"Hopefully you will stay in Illinois"....
Hopefully you will stay in Illinois....
Rather snarky this morning, are we? Maybe you need to go back to sleep, snoring....
How did Santa Anna loose his leg?....was he defeeted in battle?
There is just something about people that don't really work for a living or actually produce anything.
As the story goes so went the leg:
Santa Ana's leg went north. ;-)
Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna could be lucky in war, notably at the Alamo, but he had a problem with food, and it was notable. He lost his leg in the French Pastry War, fought between France and Mexico in 1838. His personal heroism in battle resulted in having several horses shot out from under him, and the loss of half of his left leg.
Then in 1842 he arranged for an elaborate ceremony to dig up the remains of his leg, and to parade with it through Mexico City Afterwards was placed on a prominent monument for all to see.
Then in 1847, facing the United States at the Battle of Cerro Gordo in Mexico, he stopped paying attention to the war long enough to savor a roasted chicken. His lunch was interrupted by the uninvited, unexpected regiment of Illinoisans, who ate the general's chicken and carried off his new cork leg. Santa Anna hobbled away to fight another day.
Some of the soldiers returned to Piatt County, where the town of Griswold was renamed Cerro Gordo in commemoration of the battle. The Volunteers regiment would eventually become the Illinois National Guard, and its trophy of war, Santa Anna's cork leg, now resides in the Guard's museum, Camp Lincoln in Springfield.
Over the years, the Mexican government has asked for Santa Anna's leg back. Not that it would do the general any good, though it might show a little sensitivity. Artificial legs aren't as funny as they were in the 1850s, when veterans charged a nickel or a dime for curiosity seekers to handle the leg in hotel bars.
Someone at the San Jacinto Battlefield Museum thought it would be a cool thing to have, I guess. But it has no context for the battle of Texas independence. I wonder how many signatures that petition got? They only say it didn't get the minimum 100,000 required. I'd be surprised if it got 1,000.
TEXAS ain't trying to walk all over you. This is some pinhead who piddles around for a living.
The last thing us Texans give a hoot in hell about is Santa Anna's fake leg. We booted him out 178 years ago, leg and all.
Illinoise is your own worst enemy on many fronts, Texan's ain't worried about anything you've got.
Let's give the leg to O'bama .... the media's leg has been pulled out of shape and he needs something to keep his leg pulling muscles excercises.
I agree, I am as much of a Texan as you are and we kicked his butt and don't need his leg.
His "shoot the prisoners" philosophy came from his first commander in the Spanish Army when they fought Rebels in the early 1800's. This may have cowed Mexicans, but executing soldiers in cold blood seems to really pi$$ off Americans. Instead of cowing us, it gets our dander up, and folks who might have been ambivalent about hurting another human will become savage. See my Tagline.
"The leg is a big draw for our museum, Lear said. Its a centerpiece."
An artificial leg is a center piece for a museum? Not going to waste my time on that one.
A good, ol' fashioned invasion might serve to kick it loose and repatriate it to Texas.
Could happen.
Sounds like he was ever much so the narcissist.
"Rather snarky this morning, are we? Maybe you need to go back to sleep, snoring...."
Yeah, guess I was. We texans are actually friendly by nature. However, I'm concerned that all these transplants coming in will do the same to Texas that Californians did to Colorado...
I knew the story..my post was a pun..deFEETed
If you Texans are going to bother to saddle up and invade Illinois for the leg, please feel free to take Chicago while you're at it.
The Illinois state house used to have an amazing display of Civil War flags from Illinois regiments and captured confederate flags. Sort of a giant Victorian display case at the head of the stairs off the lobby. I saw it as a kid. Apparently they've gotten old and brittle so they took them down 30 years ago and have them stored flat at a museum.
The Leg needs to be in Texas! He lost the leg in the so called Pastry War with France—he was a hero then for leading the attack on the French—they withdrew and Santa Ana became president—where upon he shreaded the Constution of 1824. In time the Meexican people woke up and kicked him out—After he lead them in a disasterious war with the US and lost 1/3 of their nation. (They still wonder—what might have happened if he threw in his reserves at The Battle of Buena Vista—rather than running away and leaving his army to the mercy of the Yanquies.
"It's a major award."
Utterly hilarious episode. I especially like the public service bit at the end where Hank asks viewers to write to Dick Durbin.

After returning from an injured MCL, junior offensive lineman Dan Knapp has been switched from left guard to right and is now battling with redshirt junior Aderious Simmons for the starting job.
"We haven't decided who we're going to start at right tackle yet," Erickson said. "It's kind of a battle to see what happens."
The Sun Devils have a new combination at safety with junior Clint Floyd playing alongside senior Max Tabach who has recently found his stride for the maroon and gold. The combination is something Erickson feels will find much success against the Golden Bears offense.
"It's a good group for this week," Erickson explained. "Max is very physical, which we're going to need because they run the football, that's what they like to do. Then again, on the other side of the coin they do a lot of different things formation wise, shifting and things like that so you have to have somebody back there that can direct everybody and Clint does a good job of that."
Freshman defensive lineman, Junior Onyeali has played in six games for the maroon and gold, including one start against Washington. Onyeali, like most freshmen, has transitioned into life as a collegiate athlete and uses has used his unique abilities to move his way into the starting lineup. To date, the freshman has 7 tackles, including 4 for loss.
"I think his potential is up there," Erickson commented. "He is a young kid right now so he's going to get bigger and stronger, all the stuff. Once he knows what he's doing even more, gets bigger and stronger, who knows. He is a pass rusher so he has unlimited potential.
"Particularly in the last couple weeks he's been getting better and maturing as he goes through all the stuff that freshman go through, not just on the field but off the field. I think he is comfortable with here he is at right now so he's playing better."
Two week ago Sun Devils gained much needed confidence by ending their three-game losing streak with a 24-14 win over Washington. Now coming off a bye week, the maroon and gold will have to focus on their next opponent in order to remain in the running for bowl eligibility.
"It gives us some confidence because when you win you get a little more confidence," Erickson said. "We just have to get another one. All we can worry about is what is happening Saturday; it's all we can look at. We can't look any further or back, we have to concentrate on Cal. You can talk and talk but you have to win."

Lottery opens for firewoodJanuary 03,2014MONTPELIER — The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation has opened the lottery for "cut-your-own" firewood lots on state forest lands.
The two-week registration for the personal roadside lots ends Jan. 16. Each roadside lot costs $30 and yields out three cords of wood for the 2014 home heating season.
Trees are marked and lottery winners get a tour from Forest and Parks staff members on which trees are available for cutting.
This year roadside lots are available in the towns of Duxbury, Orange, Johnson, Groton, Westmore and Sutton. Participants will need to indicate where they prefer to cut.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

Police vow to arrest Alexandria-based atheists
A special police taskforce will be formed to arrest a group of Alexandria-based atheists who declared their beliefs on Facebook, announced Alexandria Security Directorate chief Amin Ezz El-Din in a televised telephone interview.
The talk show, "Redline," aired on Honest satellite channel and hosted by Mohamed Moussa, discussed the issue of atheism in Egypt in detail. Moussa also interviewed Alexandrian activist Mostafa Zakareya, who says he is an atheist.
Ezz El-Din said that the taskforce will be formed by police officers specialized in working on such"crimes", and that they will "legalize" arrest procedures against contentious activists.
In his show, Moussa said that atheism is a foreign plot at a critical time for Egypt, as the country continues to experience political, economic and social instability.
"I will continue to air the reactions of those atheists I talked about because we have nothing to fear from, and because we will continue our war against such destructive ideas," Moussa claimed.
During the episode, Zakareya said he was keen not to "insult religions," refusing to voice criticism against Islam, adding that the only thing he strives for is acceptance amongst Egyptians as an atheist.
"I'm not here to say that Islam is bad or to criticize religion, I'm here to say that everyone is free to choose his faith, and that people should understand that religious beliefs should remain personal," Zakareya explained. "We need to deal with each other as humans only, disregarding any religious ideas."
Responding to Zakareya's comments, Sheikh Gomaa Mohamed Ali said that atheism is a "new phenomenon" that is not associated with any religion.
"Atheism was coined by the Zionists," Ali claimed.
Moussa called for Zakareya to be arrested and executed on account of him being atheist.
In another episode, in which he aired the reactions of the activist community to the contentious standoff, Moussa vowed to continue "exposing" atheists.
"I'm moving on with this issue and I'm not going to close it. I'm not leaving those people. Those kids are threatening us but we are not fearful of them," he added. "We stand against those who sabotage the country [in reference to the Muslim Brotherhood] and we are not going to leave those who sabotage out religion. We are not going to leave those who insult our religion, those who insult God, those who insult our Prophet."
Atheists on social media slammed Moussa's remarks, accusing him of being a police informant who incites against atheists and then reports them to authorities.
An Alexandrian atheist, who identifies himself as "Fe Ro" on Facebook, said that Moussa's episode actually offered an opportunity to show Egyptian Muslims about atheism and make more people aware of it as an idea.
"Later on, the episode was a trap done by a terrorist Muslim whose name is Mohamed Moussa. Just for you to realize that there is no difference between a normal Muslim and a Salafi Muslim, they are all terrorists," he claimed.
Activist Alber Saber was sentenced to three years in prison by a misdemeanor court in January 2013 for insulting religion after he published a video on his Facebook page promoting atheism.
A movie that was posted on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, almost 18 months ago, stirred a wave of anger in Islamic countries after the movie accused the Islamic religion of preaching terrorist ideas.
The movie was said to be have been produced by an Egyptian Copt living in the United States, which led the Salafi Nour Party to demonstrate in front of the US Embassy in condemnation of the movie. Some party members stormed the embassy's building.
Hardline Islamist groups in Libya also bombed the US Embassy in Benghazi, leading to the death of Ambassador Chris Steven, apparently in response to the video.
The rule of former President Mohamed Morsi was broadly criticized for its perceived crackdown on religious freedoms, as well as a wave of lawsuits against political dissidents and religious minorities accusing them of insulting Isla
Article 64 of Egypt's recently-passed Constitution stipulates, "Freedom of religion is absolute."

TELL CITY – The percentage increase is small but Perry County Public Library employees can expect to see an increase in pay on upcoming paychecks, specifically a 1-percent increase for salaried employees and 25 cents more per hour for hourly employees.
An unexpected increase in funding led to the decision to pass on a raise to library staff.

CANNELTON – With several residents becoming frustrated at pooling water saturating their yards after heavy rains, Cannelton officials are looking for a solution.
Street Commissioner David Marsh presented what he believes to be a viable fix for drainage issues in the Hamilton Smith Square of Pleasant Valley. Last month, Marsh and wastewater superintendent Jerry Ball said the area is plagued with sinkholes and standing water and they were in search of collapsed pipes.
TELL CITY – Hoosier National Forest staff are interested in hearing your comments on proposals to increase fees at one campground and begin charging at another campground.
German Ridge Campground is a 20-site campground within the historic German Ridge Recreation Area. Currently the fee to camp at this site is $4. The forest is proposing raising the fee to $8. The campground needs repairs because of age and use. The current fee of $4.00 has been in place for over 20 years.

TELL CITY – It's a slumber party, but one that can change lives.
That's one way Brandy Hopkins describes the teen girls conference she and a friend founded in 2009. Named GC3 – the acronym stands for Girls: Chosen, Called and Confident – the program will come to Tell City July 29-30 and will be held at Community Christian Church.
TELL CITY – Tell City's century-old Venetian lions may soon get a needed facelift.
The pair of lions, sculpted in 1907, are in desperate need of repair, Councilman Chris Cail told city leaders Tuesday. He asked that a fund be set up to accept donations for their repair.
CANNELTON – Drivers crossing the Bob Cummings-Lincoln Trail Bridge over the Ohio River between Cannelton and Hawesville may have noticed the free flowing traffic as of late. There are no traffic signals – other than those at either end of the span – barricades or road crews.
TELL CITY – The Tell City Common Council expressed hesitation Tuesday at the prospect of revisiting a recreational vehicle parking ordinance a city resident says unfairly targets owners of utility trailers.
"There has to be some way to amend this so more people with trailers aren't unfairly penalized," said Dennis Hanks, a resident of 21st Street who said the ordinance was passed without the knowledge of many of the people it impacted.
TELL CITY – By this time next year, Perry County could have a fully operational new courthouse annex. In an expected move, the Perry County Redevelopment Commission selected Kleeman Excavating of Troy to undertake renovations at the former Tell City National Guard Armory in Tell City.
That announcement had been delayed by about three weeks after bids for the project came in higher than anticipated and were more than what was available in funding.

Asia Argento
Jump to
A sensual presence in American and European films, actress and director Asia Argento made a name for herself with emotionally charged performances in such films as "Traveling Companion" (1996), "B. Monkey" (1998), "Marie Antoinette" (2006) and "The Last Mistress" (2009), as well as Hollywood films like "xXx" (2002). The daughter of famed horror director Dario Argento, who cast her in four of his films, including 2007's "Mother of Tears," she claimed that she became an actress to win his affection after her parents' bitter separation. An award-winning turn in "Companion" displayed a talent for challenging characters, but Argento's penchant for controversial interviews and layouts soon cast her as a femme fatale, as evidenced by "Monkey" and her own directorial debut, "Scarlet Diva" (2000). She sojourned briefly to Hollywood for Vin Diesel's "xXx" (2002), but returned to the indie world to direct her second film, the grueling "Heart is Deceitful Above All Things" (2004). A favorite among arthouse habitués and devotees of her father, she swung between continents for much of the 21st century, carefully honing her reputation as an uncompromising figure in cinema.

Experimental Designs for Environmental Valuation with Choice-Experiments: A Monte-Carlo Investigation
We review the practice of experimental design in the environmental economics literature concerned with choice experiments. We then contrast this with advances in the field of experimental design and present a comparison of statistical efficiency across four different experimental designs evaluated by Monte Carlo experiments. Two different situations are envisaged. First, a correct a priori knowledge of the multinomial logit specification used to derive the design and then an incorrect one. The data generating process is based on estimates from data of a real choice experiment with which preference for rural landscape attributes were studied. Results indicate the D-optimal designs are promising, especially those based on Bayesian algorithms with informative prior. However, if good a priori information is lacking, and if there is strong uncertainty about the real data generating process - conditions which are quite common in environmental valuation - then practitioners might be better off with conventional fractional designs from linear models. Under misspecification, a design of this type produces less biased estimates than its competitors.

Sehlin: It's all bad news for schools
South Whidbey school administrators were not given much hope for their education wish list by 10th District Reps. Barry Sehlin and Barbara Bailey this week.
At a special meeting Monday at the South Whidbey Intermediate School, the two legislators told a group of about 30 school administrators, teachers and board members that the state's proposed budget will cut education, health and welfare services.
Gov. Gary Locke's proposed budget may slice into education funding by rolling back Initiative 732, which required cost-of-living increases for teachers, and I-728, which requires a reduction of elementary school class sizes.
The budget is designed to counter a $2.4 billion state budget deficit, the legislators said. Though full of cuts, this budget is as unpopular as some in the past, Sehlin said.
"There has never been a state budget anybody wanted to vote for," he said.
Sehlin did most of the talking at the meeting while Bailey remained largely silent. Having won office in November, she did say at one point she believes it is time to re-evaluate how education is funded and to look for more innovative and creative ways to take care of students and teachers.
During her campaign, Bailey spoke repeatedly about making education funding more efficient, but avoided proposing additional tax revenue for schools.
Democratic Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano, was unable to attend the meeting.
Sehlin, who is generally not an ardent supporter of Gov. Locke, said he was impressed how the governor consulted people from the private sector, business people, agency directors and members of "think tanks" to develop a list of functions for which state government should be responsible.
"And those of you who know me know I am not one to give much credit to the governor, but I do this time," Sehlin said.
Sehlin said education, specifically the two initiatives, are on the chopping block. In answer to several questions from his audience, Sehlin said more taxation will not solve the problem. He alluded to cuts as the solution.
"We have to step back and look at basic education and basic health care funding," he said. "Income tax is not the solution. We have a stable tax structure with business and occupation taxes and sales tax."
Speaking to the two education initiatives, Sehlin said that just because the were approved doesn't mean they will get funded. In this case, he said he and other legislators will ignore the will of the people.
"The money has to be there," he said.
Sehlin said Washington is in "better shape" than other Western states. But that wasn't good enough for most of the people in the audience, many of whom were there to deliver a message that funding for education is mandatory.
Langley Middle School teacher Rachel Kizer asked whether the state has considered book fees on a sliding scale to help fund education. Sehlin replied that legislators see a whole range of ideas like that.
"This is 45 pages listing possible reductions, including education and other areas," he said, holding up a sheaf of papers.
Mike Johnson, principal of South Whidbey High School, said that as a parent, taxpayer and educator he wants the Legislature to know any cuts in education are unacceptable.
Helen Price-Johnson, the South Whidbey Board of Education's legislative representative, organized the meeting to let school district administrators and educators air their concerns about Gov. Locke's budget.
According to estimates, ignoring the education initiatives for annual teacher pay raises and for class size reduction will save the state an estimated $450 million in the coming biennium.
Sehlin acknowledged that school districts will likely get more money on a per-student basis, but overall spending on education will not keep up with the demand for more funds.
