FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, MI – Stolen credit cards belonging to a Muskegon County woman have been used at a number of businesses in a two-county area, and police hope to catch the busy suspect before he or she does any more damage.
Fruitport Township Police say the victim's wallet was stolen on Saturday while she was shopping at JC Penney, 5690 Harvey, or Meijer, 5300 Harvey, in Fruitport.
The woman reported her wallet had been stolen and the cards have apparently been used at businesses in Muskegon and Ottawa counties, police said.
Both JC Penney and Meijer are working with authorities by releasing surveillance video in an effort to identify the thief or thieves.
Authorities urge anyone who may recognize the people in the photo released by the Fruitport Township Police Department to contact them at (231) 865-8477 or Silent Observer at 72-CRIME.

90 soon
Sentiment: Strong Buy
No, instead it will be around 85, LOL. I love covered calls on this stock as all it does is move sideways between 82-85. Figured this week might go above 85, so I sold the 86s, which should expire worthless tomorrow pocketing me another .95/share. 4.50 in 4 weeks on covered calls alone and a gain of 1.70 in stock price. Can't wait to sell again next week...
Nice. That is trading like the pros. I like your style.

The new ramp from southbound Causeway Boulevard to Interstate 10 in Metairie is scheduled to open Thursday before the morning rush hour. Bambi Hall, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation and Development, said today that the elevated ramp likely will open around 5 a.m.
It gives southbound Causeway motorists, including commuters from the north shore, improved access to I-10 both east- and westbound.
The ramp is one of the last major pieces of a $100 million effort to improve the I-10 interchange with Causeway. Work on the overall project began in 2009.
When it opens, traffic on southbound Causeway may enter the ramp north of Veterans Memorial Boulevard. Traffic heading to New Orleans will merge left onto eastbound I-10, and traffic heading toward Kenner will merge right to westbound I-10.
Motorists who miss the ramp must remain on Causeway and cross I-10, the transportation department said.
When the elevated ramp opens, the existing ground-level road from southbound Causeway to I-10 will close. That means eastbound Veterans Memorial Boulevard traffic won't be able to access eastbound I-10 at Causeway. These drivers should continue to Bonnabel Boulevard and turn south to reach I-10, the transportation department said.
By the summer, a new ramp from Veterans to eastbound I-10 is scheduled to open.
In preparation for Thursday's opening, the elevated portion of southbound Causeway will close at Veterans on Wednesday at 9 p.m. These motorists will be detoured west on Veterans to Clearview Parkway, where they may access I-10.

ArtPrize is just one important venue for what is important in Tim Donahoe's life. The elementary art teacher at Forest Hills Thornapple Elementary School has entered the popular art contest, but his work is simply a reflection of all that is important in to him.
Donohoe decided to make a summer project of producing a painting for ArtPrize. "Art should be fun," he said, noting that that is a concept he forgot while spending more than 18 years employed in corporate advertising.
When he, wife Mari, and two daughters moved to Forest Hills and he started attending school conferences, he knew he wanted a change. With a degree in art education from Aquinas College, he is now in his 11th year of teaching, all in the Forest Hills district. He currently teaches Young 5s through fourth-grade art. "I hadn't done art on my own for many years, until I started teaching," he said, noting art is once again "fun."
The ArtPrize piece, titled "A Fiddle Dances" from an expression that comes from "A violin sings, but a fiddle dances," symbolizes all kinds of art, he said.
In the center is a figure dancing, symbolizing dance, theater, and sports – all kinds of movement. The patterns around the edges of the piece are designs from around the world and "much of it comes straight from my lesson plans, from projects I do with the kids at school," he said.
The designs include African, Mexican, Celtic, Native American, and Australian images, emphasizing the multi-cultural projects that he incorporates into his art classes.
The fiddler on the ArtPrize entry represents music and Donohoe is an amateur musician, playing local venues and with a group of Irish musicians, who call themselves Tiki O'Riley.
The artwork is "designed to celebrate all of the arts, kinesthetic, musical and visual," he said.
His work embraces the things that bring fullness to his life and entering the ArtPrize venue has already added another dimension to his classroom. This week Luigi Marzo, who came from Italy to enter the local contest, had some of Donohoe's students paint rocks for his artwork. Not only will the students be able to attend ArtPrize to place their rocks on Marzo's work, they were surprised to find that he, like their teacher, is a musician. Marzo sang for the class in Italian and the class returned the favor by singing for him in English.
Art, music and children have all help fill Donohoe's life, which had the potential to be very empty after his wife of 28 years died suddenly. Mari, who once told him to "Shut up talking about it and become a teacher," passed away while on a mission trip with their 15-year-old daughter to rural Mexico eight years ago. He immediately surrounded himself with friends, music, and art while he cared for his two daughters. His oldest, who has multiple handicaps, lives in a local group home and his youngest is a recent Aquinas College graduate.
Being with children, doing art and making music, he said, were "very therapeutic." And they continue to be so.
This week he is accompanying children to ArtPrize, and last week he put music and art together as he performed with Tiki O'Riley at the location of his entry, Art Addicitons and Oddities, 517 Leonard Ave. NW, on ArtPrize opening night.

Gray Emma Tufted Chairs, Set of 2
Reviewed by 3 customers
Comments about Gray Emma Tufted Chairs, Set of 2:
These are adorable!!! Very comfortable and seem sturdy so far. Not sure how well they would hold up for heavy, everyday use... but we are planning on just using them for a sitting area in our bedroom. The color is somewhere between a navy blue and charcoal gray- love the tufting. So glad to have these!
Comments about Gray Emma Tufted Chairs, Set of 2:
These chairs are so, so perfect looking, but unfortunately, they don't seem to be very good quality. I could deal with a button popping off here and there, but it's the underlying construction that presents the real problem. When my order arrived, I was sad to find that one of the legs had cracked in half down the middle, and on the other chair, one leg appeared so loose as to collapse under the weight of any who dared sit on it.
Comments about Gray Emma Tufted Chairs, Set of 2:
We purchased and received these chairs, 4 of them earlier this month. They have been fantastic for our dining room table. We almost bought similar chairs from another store that had one chair for the price of two of these.

Oftentimes, all it takes is the click of a button.
Yet, for whatever reason, many vehicle owners continue to leave their doors unlocked.
Several police departments throughout Warren County said they recently received dozens of reports of vehicle burglaries. The common thread among the thefts is they occur overnight and all the vehicles are unlocked.
"All of them could be" prevented, Pohatcong Township police Detective Sgt. Scott Robb said this week. "They're not forcing entry into any vehicles. They're going by, hitting the latch and if it opens they go inside."
The idea is nothing new.
Last summer, in Hunterdon County, three people were charged in connection with 66 vehicle burglaries. In Greenwich Township, 25 vehicles were burglarized in a five-hour span overnight.
Each time the message from police is the same: lock your doors and hide your valuables. Satellite-navigation devices and phone chargers should also be placed out of sight because they serve as tell-tale signs that valuables are present, police say.
Washington Township police said they have had about a dozen reports of burglaries in the past two weeks, many of which came in the area of Park Avenue, West Warren Street and Wayne Street in Washington Borough.
They called the break-ins a "crime of opportunity" and said the thieves are typically taking electronics, change and other loose items.
Police in Phillipsburg said they have seen several vehicle burglaries there as well, particularly on Pursel Hill and Hillcrest Boulevard. Others have also been reported in Greenwich, Lopatcong and Pohatcong townships.
Police in Greenwich this week charged a 32-year-old Middlesex County man in connection with one of the break-ins.
According to court records, Richard Lawson opened the driver's side door of a vehicle on Aug. 10, stealing two packs of cigarettes, $80 in cash and an estimated $5 in change. He was charged with one count of burglary.
A majority of the crimes, however, remain unsolved.
Residents are asked to report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods to their local police department.

Next on the Theatre Baton Rouge schedule is a relative newcomer to the world of musical theatre, despite the movie version having premiered more than 30 years ago. "9 to 5" hits the stage in Baton Rouge on Sept. 20 with shows through Oct. 6.
The musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, tells the story of three women who devise a plan to overthrow their terrible boss. Through the process, the ladies learn that they can in fact do anything a man can do, even in the glass-ceiling-wrought world of business.
The Theatre Baton Rouge production is directed by Jason Bayle.
"9 to 5" originally opened in Los Angeles in 2008, and its Broadway run was relatively short, occupying a stage there between April and September 2009.
Tickets for the Theatre Baton Rouge production are $28, with discounts available for students, groups and subscribers. More information is available on the theater's website.

Football wasn't the only sport being played on Thanksgiving. The holiday shopping frenzy kicked into high gear on what once was a quiet and prayerful holiday.
"This is clearly a new tradition being born; Thanksgiving Day is no longer sacred," Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with The NPD Group, told McClatchy Newspapers.
Sears, Kmart, Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic were among the stores luring shoppers away from the dinner table Thursday with "doorbusters." Retailers who weren't quite ready to open on Thanksgiving started their sales in the wee hours of Black Friday.
The deep discounts and heavy promotions helped major retailers eke out a small increase in traffic. ShopperTrak said Monday that customer traffic rose 2.8 percent, making up for a 1.1 percent decline in 2009, but shoppers spent about the same amount of money as they did last Thanksgiving weekend — an estimated $20.48 billion. Hopes were higher for Cyber Monday. Online sales might top $1 billion for the Monday after Thanksgiving, with the busiest online shopping days yet to come.
While we're glad to see consumers are feeling good enough about their finances to spend money on holiday gifts, it's too bad the commercialization of Christmas has swallowed Thanksgiving as well.

The number of Hispanic students at UAB is climbing, and those students will need help from professors and others, according to UAB Spanish professor Lourdes Sanchez-Lopez. She gave a talk last week on how to support the growing population of Hispanic students in Alabama and at UAB.
I wrote this story back in 2008 looking at Manos Juntas, a mentoring program for Hispanic students, as well as the university's recruiting efforts. At the time, UAB counted 156 undergraduates, or 1.4 percent of the student body. That was up from 1 percent in 2000.
Now, there are 196 undergraduates, or 1.8 percent of the student body. And there were 34 entering freshmen this year, up from 25 in 2007. The numbers only include students who identify themselves as Hispanic on their official paperwork.
And the numbers are expected to keep growing, said Sanchez-Lopez, who is also faculty advisor for the Spanish and Latino Student Association, or S.A.L.S.A. She demostrated U.S. Census statistics showing that almost 23 percent of all babies born in the U.S. have Latino ancestry. And right now, 3 percent of all K-12 students are Hispanic or Latino, she said.
Any Hispanic or Latino students out there reading and want to chime in about their own experiences at UAB?

FLEMINGTON — In a four-person race for two Hunterdon County freeholder seats, Republican primary voters will choose between one pair of candidates touting their government experience and another pair that promises to bring a fresh perspective to the freeholders board.
Freeholder Will Mennen and former Clinton Township Mayor Tom Borkowski are seeking the GOP nomination in Tuesday's primary election against John Lanza and Suzanne Lagay, who are making their first bids for elective office.
Republican Freeholder George Melick, who has served on the board for more than 30 years, is not seeking re-election.
The race between the four Republican candidates represents the only contested primary for countywide office in Somerset and Hunterdon counties.
In Hunterdon County, Democratic freeholder candidates Andrea Bonette and Robert Darmstadt do not face a primary challenge. Hunterdon County Sheriff Frederick Brown, a Republican, and Democrat Paul Carluccio are running unopposed for nominations in the sheriff's race.
Hunterdon County Surrogate Susan Hoffman is running unopposed in the Republican primary to remain in her seat, and no Democrats have filed to seek their party's nomination for that office.
Somerset Freeholder Patricia Walsh is seeking the GOP nod, and North Plainfield Councilwoman Keiona R. Miller is looking for the Democratic nomination. In the sheriff's race, Republican incumbent Frank Provenzano and Democrat Richard Arline are running unopposed.
For Republican primary voters in Hunterdon County, the choice of freeholder candidates will mean deciding between either a pair of candidates backed by the party establishment or a pair of self-identified "conservative reformers."
Mennen and Borkowski, who have the endorsement of the county Republican Party, have been campaigning on their records of public service on the county and municipal levels. Mennen also is an attorney, and Borkowski is a certified public accountant, a tax attorney, and a certified financial planner.
"Freeholder is not, in my mind, an entry-level position," said Mennen, a Tewksbury Township resident who is seeking his third term.
In the face of the economic downturn, Mennen said he helped to reduce spending, cut debt, and trim the county workforce, while continuing to provide the same level of service. Mennen said he wants to maintain that fiscal approach, continue to foster openness in government and remove superfluous layers of government.
Mennen vowed to continue demanding the answers about how and why county dollars are being spent.
"My way of looking at it is, no matter who you are, if you want to spend county funds, you should answer the questions," Mennen said. "Nobody's above questioning and no expenditure is beyond scrutiny."
But Lanza, an attorney and Lambertville resident, said he and Lagay would "bring a fresh perspective to the freeholder board" and experience in the private sector. Lagay, a business effectiveness coach who lives in Holland Township, served as president and CEO of the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce between 2000 and 2008.
Given that experience, Lanza said he and Lagay will be able to "steer away from making bad decisions that are detrimental to…what employers are trying to do to start their businesses, hire employees and be prosperous in this county."
As part of their campaign, Lanza and Lagay have said they plan to attract new businesses with high-paying jobs and help revitalize local downtowns.
Lanza said the county needs to build relationships with businesses to keep jobs in the county, and have a greater dialogue with local officials to promote economic growth. Those discussions are needed to achieve "the common goals of keeping local government affordable and less expensive for the folks paying taxes," Lanza said.
In what they say would make county government more accessible, Lanza and Lagay also have called for live streaming of freeholder meetings on the Internet and holding meetings at different locations around the county.
The county also needs to implement longer-term strategic planning, according to Lagay. She said such planning should take into account various factors, including county budgeting, shared services, and partnering with businesses and municipalities.
"That's what I think I bring to the table," Lagay said. "I think I can help the county."
Both sets of candidates said they were interested in looking at shared service opportunities to save money for local taxpayers. Lanza and Mennen each pointed to the potential for the county to provide public works services to municipalities.
Mennen and Borkowski added that the county also could facilitate discussions among school districts and municipalities in regard to sharing services. Shared service arrangements that prove successful should be publicized to encourage greater involvement, Borkowski said.
To help towns reduce their legal fees, the county also could provide a collection of model ordinances for towns to use as templates, Borkowski said.
Borkowski said he wants to investigate cost-saving practices in towns and counties across the state, and see if they could work for Hunterdon County. "It's not like we have every good idea," he said. "I think that's a very important way we can save money."
• Borkowski, Mennen get Republican Freeholder OK; Locandro not running
• John E. Lanza, Suzanne Lagay seek to be a Hunterdon Freeholder

Skip to comments.U.S. economy generates 227,000 jobs in February
Posted on 03/09/2012 5:41:40 AM PST by John W
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy added 227,000 jobs in February while hiring in January and December was revised up by a combined 61,000, the Labor Department reported Friday. The unemployment rate remained at 8.3%, largely because more people entered the workforce in search of jobs. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast the U.S. would add 213,000 jobs last month, with the jobless rate holding steady at 8.3%.
(Excerpt) Read more at marketwatch.com ...
What a bunch of BS.
I can tell you where the uptick is coming from - states getting their act together and getting it done despite our pathetic leadership from the White House.
I guess the administration must have thought if would look too fishy if they made the rate drop again after Gallup came out yesterday with their independent analysis that demonstrated the rate actually jumped to 9.1%. So they decided to stand pat for a month...
March will be much different. Bank on it.
The gas price shock hadn't set in fully. Most hires are planned in advance. Feb hires were approved in Dec/Jan.
No one will be hiring this month. Meanwhile job seekers are back, being counted in the labor force, searching for work.
Next month unemployment will jump up. And jobs will be scarce.
Gallop pisses me off. They said it was going to be 9 percent and here we are again at 8.3. What is this gallop anyway? Is it a poll?
LOL. Hilarity ensues.
The best cooks that this administration hires won't be found in the kitchen.
Gallup does a survey of 27.5K in the employment sector, and the BLS surveys 100K. The numbers of surveyed are different, but the methodologies are similar.
EXCEPT... the BLS applies the special-sauce" treatment of "seasonal adjustment."
More longterm unemployed soaking up these jobs?
"Gallop pisses me off. They said it was going to be 9 percent"
Gallup got its 9% from its own poll, not the gov't numbers.
These numbers are about as believable as the gov'mint telling us there's almost no inflation.
ain't it great when you own all printed materials
These are just mediocre jobs. Not high paying jobs.
So what you are saying is that Gallop is an independent group with real people out in the trenches seeing what is going on and the other number is the government numbers that are taken from Washington DC with OBama at the helm. Got it. You both could not have explained it more clearly. Thank you.
Recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street
It's not about the unemployment rate, it's about tax revenues and they're down.
Where? In China?
You are a tool. I just read all your recent posts... You are an Obama shill. Your support for Santorum is nothing but a Colbert-like satirist attempt, i.e. Vote for Santorum, we need to stop the gays for freedom and stuff.
91k birth death - 45k temp jobs.
This is a total snow job.
That would be in the 19.1% underemployed Gallup posted.
If you use non-seasonally adjusted numbers of the Household Survey, and take the BLS U-6 number [which includes under employed], then add back those not in the civilian labor force who want a job, you come close to Gallups 19.1% unemployment number.
Yup ... it's amazing what definitions and statistical tools can do.
Your very odd. Thank God you are to young to vote!
I owe you all an apology. I was in error. See Shedlocks description:

Bremerton junior leads cancer fight
Tessie Goheen learned her ABCs as a child but only one of the 26 letters struck a chord that has reverberated throughout her life: C as in cancer.
Goheen, a junior at Bremerton High School, experienced the effects of cancer firsthand at the age of 4, when her father lost his battle with the disease.
The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word cancer is my dad, Goheen said. Then its the hospital because when my dad was sick we spent a lot of time in the hospital and there were nights when we slept in the waiting room of the hospital.
Even though cancer has been a factor throughout her life, Goheen has found a way to make a difference in the lives of others and been named the 2004 winner of the American Cancer Society SpeakOUT Youth Advocate of the Year Award.
I guess it is a tribute to my dad, and I got the award based on my other prevention work, she said. I remembered my dad did several Relays for Life and he was a team captain even when he was in the hospital he was doing things for Relay for Life and getting money for cancer research and things like that.
Goheen, who recorded more than 600 hours of community service this past year, said her fathers memory provides inspiration for her continued advocacy work.
What motivates me is helping other people, she said. I want people to know there is somebody who has been in that situation before.
While everyones feelings about a problem may be different, Goheen said she believes she can relate to people in similar situations.
When my dad was sick and people would come into talk and there was never youth or somebody young, she said. It was always an adult and there was never anyone even close to our own age to say I lost my dad too.
Not having anyone close to her age to speak with about her experiences caused her to feel alone, which is one of the reasons she joined the American Cancer Society, she said.
I think its important that kids know there are other teenagers and youth experiencing the same thing, and were here to support them, too, she said.
Cancer has reached beyond her father and directly impacted the lives of her two younger sisters, both of whom have battled the disease before the age of 14.
We all have a genetic disorder and its Li-Fraumeni syndrome and cancer is passed down through the genes, she said. With regular people cancer isnt hereditary, with our family were 1 in 600 in the world that have this that they know about.
The disease, which is passed on through male genes, creates a predisposition to cancer.
Both of my sisters got their cancer around puberty age and they said that may have been what triggered it, she said. That can happen, so I guess its made me more conscious about what Im doing.
Even though diet and exercise are important, doctors have said that little can be done to prevent cancer in those affected by the disease, she said.
Theres nothing really I can do to prevent it, she said. Its just natural and its going to come if its going to come.
Cancer is not a unchangeable certainty for her, but there is a higher probability for the disease, she said.
My sisters had cancer at young ages and Ive already passed that age, so theyre not too worried about it, she said.
Even though she knows the risks, Goheen said genetic testing is not something she is considering.
The test would just be extra knowledge and Im kind of curious, she said. But at the same time, I dont want to have live my life questioning will this be the day that I find out that Im sick.
Goheen said her mother has played a big role in her life and has helped shape her outlook on life.
My mom always made us look at things from a positive light, she said. We just really didnt look at things negatively.
Cancer has had a demonstrated effect on her personality and has made her family stronger, she said.
It has made me a stronger person but it has definitely affected me a lot, especially my personality would a lot different if we hadnt gone through what we through with cancer, she said.
Cancer has made her more understanding and helped her relate to other people, she said.
My mom and my sisters are my best friends, she said. I probably tell my mom more than I tell my friends my own age, but thats just kind of how our familys always been really tight.
While she values the friendships she has with her classmates at school, the relationships were her family are paramount, she said.
I care more about the relationships I have with my family, because in the end theyre ones who are going to be there for me, she said. If I were to get cancer, my mom would be the one taking care of me.
As she looks to the future, Goheen knows cancer will always be there at least in the back of her mind, and it could play a prominent role in her future.
If I dont become a police officer, Id like to work with the American Cancer Society and be a full-time advocate, she said.

Making your own booze can be a nightmare of misunderstood directions, expensive equipment, and accidentally blowing your house up. Lucky for you, a DC company has launched the Homemade Gin Kit, a quick, fairly foolproof way to transform your vodka into gin in a matter of 36 hours without even requiring a bathtub, though you are fully encouraged to drink the finished product in the bath.
But is it really that easy... or very good? To find out, we made a batch and put it up against other gins from the bottom and top shelf. Then we took a long, hot bath... mainly because we spilled gin everywhere.

Pompelio will argue that Sussex County murderer Giuseppe Tedesco shouldn't be allowed to skip his sentencing hearing. Pompelio will argue the mother of Alyssa Ruggieri has a right not just to make her pain known not just to the court — but to the man who took the 22-year-old away.
It's an argument that has never before been addressed by the state's highest court — that a defendant can be compelled to attend his or her own sentencing. But Pompelio told those gathered for the Morris County Prosecutor's Office's Recognition and Remembrance Ceremony Monday, held in honor of National Crime Victims' Rights Week, that Ruggieri's mother has a right "not to have her words be empty words to (Tedesco's) ears."
And Pompelio, the event's keynote speaker, said the opportunity to make that argument demonstrates how far New Jersey has come in its respect for victims' rights.
The American justice system has always been based on the premise that the rights of the accused should be protected, Pompelio said. It's a principle tested and generally upheld through more than 200 years of court proceedings.
"Unfortunately, in the criminal justice system, what happened, not to many people's surprise, after 200 years, the criminal justice system was in essence a system of justice for criminals and people accused of crimes," Pompelio, executive director of the New Jersey Crime Victims' Law Center, said.
And that continued until it began to hit home for white, middle-class Americans, he said. He cited a Regan-era task force's findings that "somewhere along the way, the system began to serve the lawyers, judges and defendants, and treat victims of crimes with institutionalized disinterest."
"We simply didn't know how badly crime victims were treated because frankly, if it didn't involve us personally, we didn't care all that much," Pompelio said.
He recalled the 1982 abductions and murders of 18-year-old Amie Hoffman of Parsippany and 25-year-old Deirdre O'Brien, both killed by James Koedatich. And he recalled how defense attorneys argued successfully to bar Hoffman's mother from the courtroom.
When defense lawyers tried to bar Hoffman's mother again during an appeal — saying she would unduly influence the jury as a walking, talking victim impact statement — a Morris County judge rejected the argument, saying court proceedings must be open to the public to preserve their integrity.
A transcript of that defense argument helped convince the state Attorney General to support a victims' rights amendment to the state Constitution, Pompelio said. In 1991, voters gave the amendment their OK.
It states, in part, victims should be treated with "fairness, compassion and respect by the criminal justice system."
And importantly, Pompelio said, it made sure victims had the right to be present at public judicial proceedings.
He praised the work of the late Assemblyman Alex DeCroce in establishing the amendment. The assemblyman also backed a victims' rights bill that, after his 2012 death, became known as "Alex DeCroce's Law."The law was further championed by legislators including his wife, who took over his Assembly seat, and builds upon the existing Crime Victims' Bill of Rights. It expands legal language protecting victims from harassment and abuse, provides for medical assistance to victims, requires victims be provided with timely notification of case progress, and gives consideration to victims' statements in pre-trial determinations and plea agreements. Gov. Chris Christie signed it into law in August.
DeCroce's wife, current Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce, was among the other speakers taking part in Monday's event.
"I feel victims' rights should be regarded as a basic human rights," she told the several dozen people gathered outside the county's administration building in Morristown.
Joining her were acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp, Brother John Skrodinsky of the Shrine of St. Joseph, First Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Zelante, and Freeholder Thomas J. Mastrangelo, who presented a proclamation in support of Victims' Rights Week.
Officials dedicated a wreath in honor of crime victims as well.
After the ceremony, prosecutor's office Victim Witness Unit coordinator Patricia G. Stewart said sometimes, respecting victims' rights just means being sensitive to their needs.
For instance, she was at Budd Lake after two teens fell through the ice and drowned in January. In that case, no crime had been committed — but her role was much as it might be if one had. She made sure family members had access to counseling, provided them with emotional support, and made sure they were kept informed as new information became available.
"Victims are often the forgotten people in the criminal justice system. ... We have to keep vigilant and mindful of the rights of victims," Knapp said.

Court B. van Sickler utilizes services of CIE's Texas Mine Safety and Health Program.
Meet Court B. van Sickler: Mining professional and CIE client
3/14/2010CIE is proud to offer the Texas Mine Safety and Health Program (TMSHP). The program provides mine safety and health training to miners and contractors working in the Texas mine industry. There are 16,000 mining workers in Texas, and TMSHP provides the federally-required safety and health training that each miner must accomplish each year. TMSHP has been in operation for over 25 years and is currently the largest metal/non-metal program of its kind in the nation.
One mining professional who benefits from this program is Court B. van Sickler of Cemex, a leading U.S. cement and concrete materials supplier.
What is your position in the mining industry?
"I'm the Health and Safety Manager for Cemex, a two-kiln, 130 team member cement plant. I'm also responsible for nine cement distribution terminals and three bottom ash distribution terminals in a four state area. I also provide assistance with safety programs for several company quarries and ready-mix operations."
What would you say is the biggest misconception about the mining industry?
"In my opinion the biggest misconception is that large mine operators don't care about the safety of their employees. Yes, production is the number one priority—it's the reason they're in business. However, no [mining] business can be a success without having a functioning safety program. Without a good safety program—and the team members to support it—not too many companies would be making money. They'd be spending all their money on insurance and medical care."
What is the greatest benefit to you of the Texas Mine Safety and Health Program?
"TMSHP has provided much needed support… in the form of professional [safety] training, such as first aid, CPR, instructor training, refresher training, and more. They also provide courtesy assistance visits to start-up mine operations. Additionally, TMSHP fully supports all Joseph Holmes safety councils by advertising events and providing programs and presenters that keep the programs interesting. And we cannot go without mentioning the outstanding support they provide for the South Central Annual Mine Safety and Health Conference, not to mention the other Mine Safety & Health Administration districts they have assisted in conducting their respective conferences."
What is the single best thing you've learned from TMSHP?
"Mentoring is networking, and networking is friendship."
What do you like to do away from work?
"If [my wife and I] aren't riding our motorcycle around the beautiful countryside of Texas or beyond, we're reading, or sitting on our back porch enjoying the quiet of country living. But in actuality the thing we like to do most is spending time with, and spoiling, our grandkids."

The U.S. Senate arrived back in Washington vowing to change its operating rules.
But after a long debate on the issue — that lasted three weeks — the Senate has little to show for its loud call for reform.
Senators tossed a few changes out, especially to appease newer members who campaigned on the idea of going to Washington and doing away with dysfunction, including in the way the Senate operates.
On Thursday, the chamber agreed to forbid secret holds that allow a single senator to block bills and appointments without giving his or her name. Under the new rules, senators can still issue holds, but now they will need to reveal themselves within 48 hours.
They also ended the right to demand the reading of a bill on the floor, something used as a stalling tactic for large bills. It was in vogue last year during the health care reform debate.
The big issue at hand though and not touched is the filibuster. Junior Democratic members wanted to change the number of votes required to end it, saying a simple majority should be able to do the trick. That way no one could stymie the will of the majority party.
Another idea was to require anyone who wanted to filibuster to take a page from the classic film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and speak continuously on the floor.
In the end, more entrenched senators were able to persuade others that the current system works just fine and that the Founding Fathers meant for the Senate to have these rules in place because it is the deliberative body in Congress.
The changes made are good ones but hardly go far enough. The obstructive tools that either party can use, especially when in the minority, are still firmly in place.
Democrats squandered an opportunity in this reform-minded era to make needed changes to what can be a crippling system.

The homecoming dance was once a time of dressing to the nines and dancing until midnight for the students of South Oldham High School until it was threatened to be canceled last year due to the lack of participation of the sponsor, the SOHS dance team.
Disappointed that they could not be involved in the planning of the annual dance in their senior year, former dance team member Nicole Childress and her friends, Emily Sage and Sara McOmber, came up with a solution.
A fund that helps dole out scholarships to local students is hoping to push its total giving to more than $100,000 this year.
The Oldham County Community Scholarships has been giving out scholarships since 2013 officially, but was born out of the Oldham County Dollars for Scholars program, which started in 2004.
This year, OCCS gave out $78,600 to 68 recipients, but with increased demand, wants to increase the total scholarship numbers into six figures.
Groups from North Oldham Middle School volunteered at Uspiritus – Brooklawn Campus Friday, Nov. 21. The group shown, from Stephanie Van Eps' eighth grade language arts class, cleaned the gym in preparation for the Nov. 25 Thanksgiving dinner for the youths who reside on the Brooklawn and Bellewood campuses. When they finished, they did cleanup on the grounds. The entire eighth grade class volunteered at various locations on Nov. 21, which was National Philanthropy Day.
The King and I

The students write encouraging words to soldiers and the Red Cross will distribute them to soldiers. The cards will go to Walter Reed Hospital where wounded soldiers are recovering and to active duty soldiers serving all over the world. As of today, there are 1,763 signed cards and the deadline to take them to the Red Cross is Dec. 5. The picture d at left is of Nancy Martin's health class.

Dropping a kid off at preschool for the first time is often an emotional time for parents who aren't quite sure what to expect, but a new school with an old approach to learning could change all that.
Montessori Family Co-op is the first of its kind in Oldham County. This style of education promotes independence and builds self-esteem within the children, according to Alison Filippini, founder of the Montessori school.
"This education sets kids up with skills for life," Filippini said.
A new partnership with restaurant officials could give Oldham County Schools students a leg up on other school districts when it comes to culinary skills.
The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, in partnership with the Kentucky Restaurant Association, is bringing its ProStart curriculum to Kentucky, starting with the Arvin Education Center in Buckner.
The program helps partner state industry associations, like the KRA, with local high school culinary programs, according to the NRAEF.
South Oldham's Marching Dragons closed their season in Mid-States Class AAAA competition on Saturday at Royal High School in Royal, Ohio.

Presents just for staying a couple of nights within a given city or county is the newest trend in travel deals. And I like it!
I've already collected the cool kite that comes with a two-night stay in Benzie County. Now Grand Rapids is upping the ante by tossing in a free iPod shuffle with two room nights at any of 23 participating hotels.
You can't go wrong with the luxuriousJW Marriott, one hotel in on the deal. But my nod for the best deal goes to the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, 255 28th St. SW (616-241-6444), where with your nightly room rate of $85.50, you get the iPod, a $10 iTunes Card to help fill the thing, and a $10 voucher to Holly's Restaurant & Lounge. The hotel offers free wifi and indoor and outdoor pools. (Use booking code: BEAT.)
The "feel the beat campaign" includes downloadable touring tunes that highlight the city's best attractions.

Cars in the movie Scarface
It has been over 30 years since Scarface hit the big screen and Tony Montaña, played by Al Pacino, is still a cultural icon. Set in 1980's Miami, the cult classic chronicles Tony's turbulent journey from lowly Cuban immigrant to gold-spangled gangster to self-destructive drug kingpin.
The movie ends with Tony facedown and motionless in the ornate fountain in the foyer of his mansion. His body is riddled with bullets, and the water in the fountain turns to red as the camera pans up to the base of a Greek statue. The inscription at its base reads, "The world is yours."
Scarface has drummed up controversy ever since its release because many believe it's a perverted way of looking at the American dream. Despite his eventual demise, Tony is the protagonist. Until the very end, the viewer can't help admiring Tony's unwavering conviction to his own moral code even if he is responsible for most of the film's 42 deaths and 208 f-bombs. The movie has more than just guns, drugs and girls. It has some pretty sweet cars too. So hop into Tony's bright yellow caddy with zebra-print interior and come check it out!
1972 Citroën DS 21
The fluid, modern styling of the DS was ahead of its time. Maybe that's why the car still looks so awesome three decades later. Thanks to the European car gods, Tony decides to blow his friend's head off instead of blowing up this French masterpiece.
1983 Ford LTD Country Squire
The Ford Squire is a beast, basically the early 80's version of an SUV. In this scene, Tony test's the handling ability of the big wagon as he takes a corner at speed, tailing the opposition. What better car to chase a classic French sedan than a wood-paneled American monstrosity, complete with empty Budweiser cans on the dash.
1959 Bentley S2
This one is a doozy. Apparently the Bentley wasn't fancy enough for the Scarface producers, so they slapped a Rolls Royce grill on the front to make it look like a Silver Cloud. The rounded bonnet panels are what gives it away as a Bentley.
1963 Cadillac Series 62
There's no point in trying not to look foolish when you're rolling around in a massive, brightly colored Cadillac with animal-print upholstery, so you might as well embrace it. Tony does just that while flirting with the boss's girl. I guess she likes men in hats because the two of them end up together soon after this scene.
1979 Porsche 928 4.5L
Tony spends a lot of time at luxury car dealerships in this movie. Picking up new rides must be standard operating procedure for ambitious drug kingpins on the rise.
1968 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
The chainsaw scene in the first half of Scarface is difficult to forget, unlike this beat up Chevrolet Impala. With no chrome on the wheels and no animal-print in the interior, this car is a symbol of Tony's humble beginnings. The Impala may not be new and shiny, but it has 4 wheels and an engine, so it worked just fine as a getaway vehicle.
1980 Ford Econoline Van
Last but not least, the sketchy van. Like the A-Team, no criminal organization is complete without one.

STAIR (Start The Adventure In Reading) needs volunteers for its summer workdays to help prepare learning materials that will be used for the coming school year.
"We put together all our curriculum packets for 250 children," Sara Woodard, STAIR director, says. "We like to invite the community to the workdays to let people know more about STAIR and see if they might want to tutor in the fall."
STAIR's mission is to improve the reading skills and self-esteem of lower elementary school students.
The non-profit group uses vounteers to tutor public school second graders in Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes. Students are identified by their teachers as needing help in reading.
Tutors work one-on-one with students Monday through Thursday after school and on Saturday mornings.
"It's a yearlong commitment, but the tutors really love working with the children," Woodard says. "We like to say they get more out of it than the kids.
STAIR began in New Orleans during the summer of 1985 with six volunteers and six children. Since then, STAIR's trained volunteers have tutored more than 5,000 children.
In the 2004/2005 school year, 500 volunteers tutored 375 students from 33 public schools. After Hurricane Katrina, STAIR reopened in January 2006. This past year STAIR had 23 tutoring sites and 300 volunteers serving 27 elementary schools.
The summer workdays are two hours long and will be held in June and July at different locations in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish.
"People don't have to come for the whole time. They can just come for an hour and see what we're about," Woodard says. "And refreshments will be served."
For a schedule of workdays and locations, go to www.stairnola.org.
To learn more and to RSVP for any of the workdays, call the STAIR office at 504.899.0820.
STAIR offers its services to the children at no cost and depends on the support of the community.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The New Orleans men's tennis team will face off against a pair of ranked NCAA Division II foes this weekend on the campus of West Florida.
UNO (9-9) will challenge No. 3 West Florida on Friday at 1 p.m. before taking on future Southland Conference opponent No. 16 Abilene Christian on Sunday at 11 a.m.
Both matches will take place at the Ralph "Skeeter" Carson Tennis Complex.
"We're playing a pair of very good teams this weekend," said UNO head coach Burzis Kanga. "These matches will go a long way in determining what we do in the conference tournament."
The Privateers already own a victory over a nationally-ranked Division II opponent, dispatching Incarnate Word 4-2 on Mar. 24 at a neutral court in Edinburg, Texas. The Cardinals were ranked No. 18 heading into the match and will join UNO in the Southland next season.
The Privateers have dropped three of their last four matches as they visit Florida this weekend. All three of the losses have come to nationally-ranked foes, including No. 33 LSU and No. 59 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The most recent setback was a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the NAIA's top-ranked Auburn-Montgomery on Apr. 7.
Reigning Southland Conference Player of the Week Abdelrahman Zaki was the lone winner against AUM and with a 10-7 dual record is the lone member of the UNO roster sitting with double-figure wins.
"I am going to be looking to Zaki for
his leadership in many ways as a team captain," said Kanga. "This is the
last hurrah for the seniors. With Vinay Kamineni back in the mix,
Ricardo Campos playing better, as long as we stay healthy, I think we
can compete well."
In doubles' play, Hossam Meligy and Campos are 9-5 overall and 6-4 during the spring. Zaki and teammate Rui Silva are 4-1 at the No. 2 court with six different tandems combining for an 8-6 mark at No. 3.
UWF (19-1) has won 17 straight matches and has four players ranked in the top 50 of NCAA Division II, led by No. 3 Bruno Savi and No. 8 Kevin Ducros. Tony Rajobelina and Elio Latelta join their teammates with rankings of No. 43 and No. 45, respectively.
Savi and Ducros pair up in doubles' to form Division II's No. 4 ranked duo. Last year, Savi and Ducros were defeated by UNO's Campos and Meligy 9-7 when the Argos' tandem was ranked No. 2 in Division II. The win catapulted Campos and Meligy to Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American status.
No. 6 Hans Hach is the top player for ACU (12-12). Hach is 14-6 on the season at singles' and pairs with Guilherme Gesser to rank No. 12 nationally in doubles'.
Sunday's meeting is the first documented encounter between the Wildcats, who will become regularly scheduled opponents for the Privateers in the Southland beginning next spring.
Following this weekend's matches, UNO
will return to the University Tennis Center to host Jackson State on
Apr. 18 at 11 a.m. The regular season finale against JSU stands as the
team's last dual prior to the end of season Southland Conference
tournament scheduled for Apr. 25-26 in Beaumont, Texas.

It's what urges me to start a new artwork. I don't usually have an exact idea of what my finished piece will look like and the process is always daunting ~ I am filled with both confidence and insecurity. Inks are still my preferred medium and I get quite a thrill working with them ~ each brushstroke is an irreversible moment of truth, discovery and magic in which I try to capture the expression in that unique moment.I believe that inspiration is everywhere, and sometimes I'm not even aware of it at the moment I'm experiencing it. However, my own state of being always plays an important role in my choice of colour, medium and form. This awareness helps me keep redefining myself ~ casting off the old me in search of the new. I don't like labelling my work because I find that limiting. Experiences, influences and thinking affect the working process of anartist, and these can bring unpredictable and exciting changes.I am self-taught artist and graphic designer. I have worked as a graphic designer for about 20 years, both in my native Malta and overseas.

Vestal (WBNG Binghamton) They're not much older than kids themselves, but students at Vestal High School are teaching those younger than them to make an impact on someone.
The Vestal Peace club celebrated its 16th Annual Make a Difference Day by showing elementary school students how to spread a message of caring throughout the community.
"I'm hoping mostly to show children that no matter how small they are, they can make a difference with smiles or shaking someones hand, helping someone in the hallway, just little things," said Jennifer Allmy, president of the Peace Club.
Students played games and performed skits for the younger kids, all in the spirit of promoting politeness and appropriate language.
They also wrote letters and made thank you cards for firefighters, soldiers, crossing guards, and anyone else who makes a difference in their daily lives.
"I hope it just shows we appreciate everything they do whether it's putting out a fire or fighting for their country, I just hope that they know that we appreciate them here," Allmy said. "Maybe they'll tear up or something, but I just hope they know that."
Club members colored and played games with the younger kids, and passed on their stories about how they have made a difference.

Tsunami debris drifts into area shop
Local antique and collectable hunters have a chance to buy collectables that have made a long and unexpected journey.
The Olde Central Antique Mall in downtown Port Orchard is selling items from last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan that washed up on along Washington state beaches earlier this month.
The largest item for sale, a Japanese shipping channel marker, meant to direct vessels into certain shipping lanes, will run an interested collector $400. The 4 foot long and 3 foot high buoy was spotted and hauled in by a crab fisherman 20 miles off the coast of Westport, said the items current owner Marcia Acoba.
"He saw that floating around and he brought it in," Acoba said, noting that the crab fisherman called her and asked if she was interested in buying the item. "It's one of the most unusual things I have for sale."
Buoys, toys and even boats have travelled across the Pacific Ocean and are washing up along the shores of Washington. Along with the channel marker, Acoba has a number of smaller items such as buoy markers on sale at the store.
Beaches outside of Westport, La Push and Ocean Shores are littered with debris, becoming a treat for beachcombers and a headache for state officials.
"We are in for a steady dribble of tsunami debris over the next few years, so any responses must be well-planned - and it will be," Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire told National Public Radio earlier this month.
No items have, as of yet, washed up along Puget Sound beaches. Acoba plans to spend her weekends traveling to Westport in order to bring debris back for sale. The debris has a strong appeal for certain collectors, and make great additions to her nautical antique sales, she said.
"People love this stuff," she said.

Another Far Cry 3 video! This one continues the same style of action footage voiced over by John Agent Huntley, a true American hero. Watch it here:
While I've state that I'm glad this game doesn't seem to be trying to be Far Cry 2: The Sequel, I do like the call back to the medicine system. For those who didn't play Far Cry 2, players were randomly struck with bouts of dizziness brought on by a case of malaria that the player had contracted. It added a level of dynamism to the game when in the middle of a firefight, you suddenly had to change tactics as you couldn't shoot straight due to the visual obstruction. While the details of Far Cry 3's medicine isn't revealed in the quick cuts of this video, the allusion is noted and appreciated by a fan of the previous game.
Far Cry 3 will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows come November 29th for Europe and Australia, November 30th for the UK, and December 4th for north America.

The demand is there.
At this time, the supply is not.
The demand comes from the growing Greek yogurt manufacturing throughout New York state, especially in Fulton County, as Fage USA looks to expand its operations in the county.

The Leader-Herald/Bill Trojan
Rob Dygert, owner of the Dygert Farm, points out the new barn the family had built at the farm.
According to Fage, it takes about 4 pounds of milk to make 1 pound of yogurt.
A news release from New York Farm Bureau says New York is fourth in the nation in milk production, and a recent survey by Cornell University indicated the demand for milk in New York state will increase by 15 percent.
According to a report released by U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., there were 13,200 cows in Montgomery County in 2010 and 1,900 in Fulton County. Montgomery County produced 316.5 million pounds of milk in 2010 and Fulton County produced 51.5 million pounds.
Fage this year is spending $100 million of its own money to expand, starting this spring with a 120,000-square-foot building addition, which would increase the company's yogurt production from the current 80,000 tons to 160,000 tons.
"Obviously, we need a lot of milk," Fage spokesman Russell Evans said.
Schumer said Montgomery County needs to increase output by 47.7 million pounds of milk and Fulton County would need to increase output by 7.7 million pound to meet the demand by the yogurt producers.
At least one dairy farm in the area is expanding.
Rob Dygert said his family's farm recently went from a 54-stall barn to a 100-stall freestyle barn with a milking capacity. He said the new facility will double the farm's capacity.
"We didn't do it to support the yogurt, but we did it to support the family lifestyle," Dygert said.
Dygert did say there are obstacles for farmers looking to increase their production, one of which is whether a farm can get the feed it needs for the cows and have the borrowing capacity to expand production.
The price of milk also has been dropping since last summer.
"It's $6 off what it was last year," he said. "Grain prices have stayed the same or gone up, which makes the margin really, really tight."
According to the New York Farm Bureau, the state needs to provide incentives for dairy farmers.
Dean Norton, president of the Farm Bureau and a dairy farmer in Genesee County, said in the release the state needs to adopt tax-deferred farm savings accounts and pass the farm refundable tax credit to give farmers an incentive to increase supply.
"On one hand, they say they're trying to help the dairy farmer, but on the other hand, they're asking us if we really want to do it," said Lee Hollenbeck, vice president of the Fulton County Farm Bureau and a former dairy farmer.
Schumer's proposal, the Dairy Augmentation for Increased Retail in Yogurt Act, would expand the eligibility for tax credits that would allow business owners to write off capital expenses on their taxes, giving dairy farmers to receive the same tax break on livestock purchases that other businesses receive on equipment.
The bill also would provide dairy farm operators with a tax-preferenced savings account, which would allow dairy farmers to make deposits in the accounts during high-income periods and hold it until leaner times when additional revenue streams are needed. The funds would not be taxed until withdrawal.
"These proposals pack a one-two punch that allow farmers to put more of their hard-earned dollars back into their own business," Schumer said. "We need to make sure that when our yogurt producers come calling for milk, New York dairy farmers are on the other end of the line."

SWARTZ CREEK, Michigan -- Police lay-offs in Swartz Creek, although still on the drawing board, may be postponed until the first week of October.
Even then, the fate of the officers may hinge on what comes from a second round of union talks, slated to continue in October, said police Chief Rick Clolinger.
The city's proposed budget offer -- which includes cutting one police officer and all seven part-time officers -- is slated for approval at the 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, council session.
However, council members two weeks ago asked to meet with the police union, which they did, on Wednesday.
"We didn't get a whole lot done," Clolinger said.
City officials, hoping to keep 24/7 police coverage, were asking the union if the city could retain the part-time officers, which would allow the flexibility to maintain the coverage.
Union rules state all part-time officers must go before any full-time officer leaves.
Officer Nick Paul -- who oversees the police dog, Ike -- has the lowest seniority among full-time staff and would be the first to fall. That means Ike would go, too.
An unforeseen stall came when it was learned one officer is going on sick leave for up to six weeks, starting about Aug. 18.
Clolinger said this will save Paul from any cuts at least until that officer returns from sick leave.
Meanwhile, city and union officials on Wednesday agreed to reenter negotiations at some point after the officer returns from sick leave.
City Manager Paul Bueche left for vacation after the meeting and could not be reached for comment.
Other city officials claimed they were not present, or were not present for the entire meeting, and deferred questions to Bueche when he returns next week.
Swartz Creek officials in August reviewed the budget of the fiscal year that ended June 30, which shows a shortfall of $91,000. While the fund balance can cover it, the new budget has a projected deficit of $87,767 -- which officials hope to cover by dipping into the fire capital equipment fund.
However, they say hard economic times are forcing them to make cuts to keep the city operating.
City officials say they are preparing to make the initial salvo of cuts official at the Aug. 10 council session. The cuts would be effective Sept. 1.
City officials have warned that if current economic trends continue, Swartz Creek likely will lay off two more police officers in the spring.

89 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - November 2009
($28) Vivid red. Very expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry, rose and spicecake. Lively, finely etched red fruit and candied flower flavors gain depth and sweetness with air, picking up notes of blackberry and cola. Leaves lush dark fruits behind on the long, sweet finish. This is deep and rich enough to handle a strongly seasoned beef dish.

New world champions and Republic of Ireland Euro 2016 qualification opponents Germany climb one spot to lead the table for the first time in around 20 years, followed by Argentina, up three places to second and Netherlands in third.
Netherlands climbed 12 places thanks to their strong, third-place finish in the competition, and there are also improvements for Colombia (fourth, up four), Belgium (fifth, up six), France (tenth, up seven) and Costa Rica (16th, their highest ever ranking, up 12).
Spain's disastrous disastrous group-stage exit from the World Cup is reflected in a drop down the rankings from first to eighth. Italy (from ninth to 14th) and Portugal (fourth to 1th) also fell.
England's tame exit means they drop ten spots to 20th over all.
World Cup Brazil drop four place to seventh position following their humiliating finish to a disappointing tournament.
Scotland, also in Ireland's Euro 2016 group, meanwhile remain 27th in the rankings and Northern Ireland rise one spot to 89th.
Ireland open their qualification campaign away to Georgia on 7 September.
