Three south Allentown projects came before the city's planning commission Tuesday afternoon -- a new Dunkin Donuts, a rebuilt McDonalds and an evolving plan for a new neighborhood of cottages.
Only the Dunkin Donuts project was reviewed by planners for the first time. It was tabled because they decided it needed more work to address both traffic flow and traffic safety.
The Dunkin Donuts is proposed at 1547 Lehigh St., at the Parkway Shopping Center. If approved, it will be built on the site of the former Ragonas Lighthouse seafood restaurant, which was torn down.
Plans to demolish and rebuild the McDonalds in front of the Kmart along S. 4th Street had been reviewed and approved last October by the planning commission.
It came back Tuesday for a child-oriented change apparently spurred by popular demand.
The commission got its first look since last summer at a slightly refined plan for the cottage neighborhood development proposed at South Sixth and West Cumberland streets, where both streets end at the hilltop site of the former Montex textile mill, which was destroyed in a fire years ago.
Dunkin Donuts
The new Dunkin Donuts will be built in front of Parkway Shopping Center, between the Arby's restaurant and Penske truck rental. It will be less than 1.5 miles from an existing Dunkin Donuts at 31st and Lehigh streets.
The doughnut shop will cover 2,000 square feet and have 20 seats inside. It also will have a drive-thru. It will be built on less than one acre of land, leased from a company called Parkway Pad, which owns the shopping center.
Brian Gasda, the project's engineer, said no new driveways are proposed onto Lehigh Street, a state road. He said Dunkin Donuts' customers will come and go via the shopping center's access road with traffic lights just north of Arby's.
But planners are concerned that drivers will use another shopping center access road, just south of the proposed doughnut shop, which does not have any traffic lights. They especially are concerned drivers leaving the shop will attempt to turn left to go south on busy Lehigh Street from that exit.
Oldrich Foucek, planning commission chairman, said if he had the authority, he would require that a sign forbidding left turns be erected at the shopping center exit. "But I don't know that we have that authority," he said, noting Lehigh Street is a state road. He suggested PennDOT may say "this is fine, it's been like this for 50 years."
The project engineer indicated the Dunkin Donuts owner also won't have the authority to put restrictions on an entrance road owned by the shopping center but said "we can make suggestions to the shopping center."
City planning director Michael Hefele said if the Dunkin Donuts would be moving into an existing space within the actual shopping center, the planners would not be looking at that unsignalized exit, which he called "a permanent driveway to the shopping center."
But planner Richard Button said the shopping center entrance without traffic lights will be "just a couple of feet away" from the Dunkin Donuts. After leaving the shop, he said:"They're going to want to go there and make a left to get on I-78." He noted drivers would be puling out into traffic at the point where S. Jefferson Street merges into Lehigh.
Planners suggested the problem might be solved by developing better traffic circulation around the Dunkin Donuts, including making sure the drive-thru's exit is not near the shopping center exit with no traffic lights.
"The key is getting people away from that southern exit," said Foucek.
Some suggested turning the proposed building, so the drive-thru exit would be closer to the signalized shopping center exit. Gasda said he prefers to leave the building oriented as it is, but said he will work on addressing traffic flow issues.
He expressed concern that too much curbing at the Dunkin Donuts will interfere with snow plowing and stormwater running off the property.
But Richard Young, the city's public works director, indicated something more needs to be done. "This design is kind of a free-flow," said Young. "You could wind up having traffic all over the place. A white line doesn't stop traffic."
Some planners suggested bollards -- vertical posts or pillars - or other separators used to delineate lanes and control traffic flow.
"We did want to keep it as simple as possible but we do understand the importance of controlling traffic flow," said Gasda.
Young recommended removing the paved surface of areas not needed for parking and traffic and planting grass in those areas. Foucek indicated plantings in those grassy areas could be used to help direct traffic.
"That seems like a great idea," said planner Christian Brown.
Said Hefele: "The essence of the issue is that both parking and driveways need to be physically delineated somehow over the entire site, either through curbing or replacing macadam with grass."
The site meets city requirements for parking, said Gasda, but he could add 15 more spaces. "Knowing how busy Dunkin Donuts gets in the mornings, I would add some more parking," said Hefele.
Action on the doughnut shop's plans was tabled until a future meeting.
Kishor Dalsania, who will own the Dunkin Donuts, said he hopes to start construction in June and be open by the end of September.
PlayPlace stays at McDonalds
When the planning commission approved plans for the new McDonalds at
1432 S. 4th St. last year, they were told the PlayPlace, an indoor playground for small children that is attached to the current restaurant, would be eliminated.
But now the developers want to add a new PlayPlace to the new restaurant, in response to customer demands.
Anthony Caponigro, the project's engineer, explained as McDonalds moved closer to the start of construction, its rebuild plans were presented to some of the restaurant's regular customers.
McDonalds personnel heard "a lot of public outcry about losing the PlayPlace." So the chain's management decided to change the building and keep a PlayPlace.
Caponigro said the new fast-food restaurant will cover 5,100 square feet. Without the PlayPlace, he said it would have covered 4,500 square feet --"one third dining, one third kitchen, one third storage."
Caponigro said the change will not reduce 41 parking spaces planned for the restaurant, but will change the configuration of the drive-thru, eliminating a bypass lane. "After you place your order, you're basically locked into the drive-thru," he said, but added that can be avoided before that point, with access to the adjoining Kmart lot.
Hefele asked the planning commission if it wanted to review the McDonalds project again for revised final approval or just allow the city's planning staff to review it. The commission agreed to have the staff review it.
The new McDonalds will be closer to 4th Street on the same property and will face that street, making it more prominent to potential customers driving by.
Trout Creek Cottages
The planning commission got its second look at plans for a development of 52 small homes in the Trout Creek Cottages development.
Plans for what is called a pocket neighborhood previously were reviewed by the planners last June and Allentown City Council approved a zoning change to allow the project to move forward last August.
Richard Kontir of Cottage Communities LP, the developer, told planners there have been only a few minor tweaks since the proposal first was brought before them.
One is that the development originally was called Cumberland Commons, but the name has been changed to Trout Creek Cottages. That was done so it will not be confused with the Cumberland Gardens housing project, which is off E. Susquehanna Street in another part of the city's south side.
Another change is the number of homes has increased since 49 were first proposed. A few more are planned along Rye Street, an alley the runs up the hill between S. 5th and S. Fair streets.
The homes will be a mix of singles, townhouses and carriage houses, which are living units atop garages. One unusual feature is every home will front on, or have access to, grassy open space common areas.
"Personally, I think it's a refreshing approach," said Foucek. "A very good notion."
Every home will have a garage or carport, although they won't all be attached to the houses.
One drawback is most of the homes won't have basements and, because they are small, storage space will be limited.
Kontir said the homes will range in size from 700 to 1,700 square feet. He previously told city officials they are designed for "first-time home buyers and empty nesters."
Last year Kontir told City Council the cottages will sell from the
low-$100,000-to-low-$200,000 price range, but on Tuesday he told the planning commission "we're still working on that."
The homes will have no more than three bedrooms, but those third bedrooms will be small and marketed as home office space.
Two commercial units also are planned in the development, but planners were told they will not be retail shops that would draw traffic.
After the meeting, Kontir could not predict when Trout Creek Cottages will be back before the planning commission for preliminary and/or final approval.
But he did say he hopes to get all approvals by mid-summer, adding: "We'll start construction right after that." He predicted sales of the new cottages probably will begin sometime in 2015.
Four-home subdivision tabled
The planning commission also considered a sketch plan for a four-lot subdivision on one acre at 502 Cedar Creek Blvd.
Single-family homes would be built on the four lots, which would require extending Cedar Creek Boulevard near S. 22nd and South streets.
Several neighbors interested in the proposal attended the meeting.
Foucek assured residents the planning commission was only looking at a sketch plan. "We're far from approving a final or even a preliminary plan on this.
This is just the start of a process."
The developer is Elysium Acquisitions.
The project might require city approval for a "temporary' turn-around or cul-de-sac on city-owned property, until Cedar Creek Boulevard eventually would be extended to Mosser Street.
But Hefele said he doesn't know that the city has any intention to extend Cedar Creek Boulevard to Mosser.
And any transfer of city property requires City Council approval, said Young.
"My recommendation is you don't go down that path," said Hefele. "It's on city park land. That's going to be an issue. It's a long, drawn-out problem. There should be an easier way to handle that."
Hefele recommending tabling the proposal because "it utilizes property they don't control."
"We need to meet as a staff with the developer. This was presented without any discussion with anybody at the staff level."
Planning commission members agreed to table the plan.

Just two more days remain in the 97th Pennsylvania Farm Show.
Chances are, if you've been coming by every day your wallet is feeling a little light.
With that in mind, here are five ways you can eat and drink for free at the Farm Show.
1. Check out a baking contest.
Love sticky buns? Then at 5 p.m. head over to the Main Hall, Stage I, for the Sticky Bun Contest. The best sticky buns in the state will be judged and, after the competition is over, free samples will be handed out.
2. Stop by a cooking demonstration.
Friday is 3-Every-Day of Dairy Day, which means the cooking demonstrations should be avoided by anyone who is lactose intolerant. Now, if dairy is your thing, don't miss out on one of the demonstration. The Farm Show crew will be cooking Mozzarella-Ricotta Flatbread, Slow-Cooker Creamy Vegetable Barley Soup, Tiramisu and Crustless Cheddar and Sun-Dried Tomato Mini Quiches every hour starting at noon. After the demonstrations there are samples being handed out - score!
3. Sample a little wine.
Provided you are of age, head over to the wine booth in the Main Hall. There various wineries are handing out samples of their intoxicating juice.
4. Nibble on ice cream.
The folks of Turkey Hill are giving away samples of vanilla ice cream in the Maclay Lobby. The line can get a bit long, but trust me - it's worth it.
5. Munch on apples.
Stop by the State Horticultural Association's booth in the Main Hall to grab a bite out of an apple. They routinely have samples of some of the Pennsylvania grown apples on hand for apple lovers to try out.
IF YOU GO: The 97th Pennsylvania Farm Show runs Jan. 5-12 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center, 2300 N. Cameron St., Harrisburg. Admission is free, but parking costs $10. More information: www.farmshow.state.pa.us.

Celtics (14-4) vs. Spurs (9-6)
Game time: 8:00pm, AT&T Center TV – TNT Radio – WEEI-AM (850).
Team Leaders
Bos: Pierce – 19.1 Spurs: Tim Duncan – 18.5
Bos: Perkins – 7.7 Spurs: Duncan – 10.8
Bos: Rondo – 9.0 Spurs: Tony Parker – 5.5
Who'll go off: Ray Allen. He looked awfully good against the Bobcats. Ray will likely battle defensive specialist Keith Bogans, a starter for the Spurs. Bogans may be a physical defender, but does he have the quickness to stay with Ray coming off screens? I doubt it.
Who needs to be stopped: Tony Parker. There's no stopping Tim Duncan, you can only try to limit his damage in the 4th quarter. But if Rajon Rondo can square up on Parker, and limit his penetration, the Celtics will have their best chance to beat the Spurs.
The C's will lose if… The Spurs are able to bomb away. They're 8th best in the league from beyond the arc – 37%. The Celtics will need to defend the perimeter especially against the likes of Manu Ginobli, Matt Bonner, Michael Finley and Roger Mason.
Wildcard: Both teams have great benches. Whichever second unit outplays the other, could determine the outcome of the game. I'm also eager to see how Perk matches up with Duncan, and how 'Quis handles Ginobli.
Prediction: Celtics 97 – Spurs 96
Don't forget, we will be hosting a live game blog. You can check in around 8.
After the jump, some advanced scouting reports on the Spurs Silver Dancers…

CORNER BROOK Local residents have another unique opportunity to put on their volunteer vest to ensure the success of a massive sports event.
The Blow Me Down Cross-Country Club will play host to over 700 athletes, coaches and support staff for the 2014 Haywood Ski Nationals March 15-22 at Blow Me Down Trails.
The local nordic ski group will need the helping hand of local residents to deliver a great event, which will see some of Canada's Olympic and national team members strut their stuff on the new trail network built for the national showcase of Canada's top cross-country skiers.
Local organizers expect it will take upwards of 250 volunteers to ensure all participants have a safe and memorable experience. Volunteering opportunities would include areas such as food services, timing and security, and the good news is little or no previous knowledge of cross-country skiing is required for most of the positions available.
If you want to be among those who rub shoulders with some of the best in the country contact volunteer co-ordinator Sheila Seaward at email@example.com or visit the club's website at http://blowmedown.ca.

Wow, just wow, can I get a GMZ? Did I hear correctly, did he flat out say, he inherited his Father's Dreams???????????
Get Dinesh on the phone, he needs to update his documentary 2016!
I thought Perkins Coie had all this stuff scrubbed. Did Obama stiff them on a payment?
No surprise here. His "fundamentally change America" statement was a clue!
Kevin, you need to add the motto "Doing the Job CNN refuses to do" to your header. Sending it out to all my friends and a few acquaintances.
What strikes me is what a consummate bullshitter this guy is.
kevin i don't understand something- when joe the plumber asked his question, someone in some govt office dropped the "goods" on him from their privileged position in a clerk's office. where is anyone who can get access to obamao's records? i'm starting to believe there just aren't any records.
on this- this is so 1998. i mean, i am too busy being offended by romney currently for not caring about us little people. (sarc)
You are talking about Helen Jones Kelly in Ohio. She was the Director of Ohio's Department of Human Services (called something else though, with "Children" in the title).
Jones Kelly illegally used government computers to access Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher's private records and gave them to the Obama campaign. Jones Kelly contributed the maximum amounts to the Obama primary and general election campaign and was a vocal and avid Obama supporter.
After she was caught, she was never prosecuted. I believe that Governor Ted Strickland…who did not fire her, and merely allowed her to resign…lost his re-election in part because of this. Yes, a small part, but it still burns me up this woman did no jail time for this.
She is now sitting on a cushy board somewhere that has to do with mental health. She makes over six figures doing this.
It's a crying shame that she is not behind bars.
It might be my age, but I cannot even bring myself to get nervous about this election…not yet anyway. I lived through Carter, with the exception of the Iran hostage situation, the country is in far worse shape today. Having lived through that period there is absolutely no way that Obama can win re-election, and I am sticking with that unless I am proved wrong on November 7th (the day after because I am sure Obama will fight the results). I was upset Clinton won re-election, primarily because of Janet Reno, ruby ridge, and Waco.He had Bob Dole running against him, no fire there to get people out to vote.
Regardless what party anyone technically belongs to, it is quite apparent to anybody with half a brain that this is not working…He is a one termer, period.
The O-bum-bum-Crats would be even more frantic and scared sh….sh….sh…Aw Shucks! Witless!!!!!! if they knew how many "registered" Democrat voters intend to vote straight down the ballot for all Republicans!!!!!!
We must clamor for the release of this story:
"Since the leftist media is making the story September 18, 2012 about what Romney said in an off-the-cuff moment at some fundraiser, which was actually the most conservative I've heard him, as well as the most honest, then it would seem it's time to call on the President of the United States to demand that the Los Angeles Times release the video that was given to them in 2008.
In fact, the LA Times is accused of "suppressing" the video by the McCain campaign on October 29th, 2008:
'A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," said McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb… The election is one week away, and it's unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job — make information public.'"
There is more here at "Gulag Bound Obama & PLO Khalidi 2003: LA Times, Release the Videotape" By: Toddy Littman, September 19, 2012
First of all how can he mention what he learned from his father if he hardly had any contact with him? His parents were divorced (if you can call it that since his father already had a first wife) when he was two and from what I have read he only met with his father a few times.
Second, what really stood out to me was his statement that "the entire history of America is concentration of power and oppression". If America is so oppressive as he states, then why do we have such a large number of illegal immigrants? Yes, I did not call then the "nom de jour" undocumented immigrants since they do have documents just not legal documents under American law. I do not see hoards of people trying to emigrate to Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, Central American countries, and Cuba. Their citizens are the ones coming here.
Has anyone heard Obama refer to our American REPUBLIC? The answer is NO, no even once, oh, he talks about OUR democracy all the time, completely ignoring the fact that America is Not a democracy but a REPUBLIC, we are Not a MONARCH "ruled" by a king. Words matter.

From the Pilots:
PORTLAND -- Portland junior forward Ryan Nicholas forced overtime with a three-pointer late in regulation, but the Pepperdine Waves held on in the extra period for a 72-68 victory in West Coast Conference men's basketball action at the Chiles Center. All five Pilots starters reached double figures, led by senior point guard Derrick Rodgers who finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
Sophomore center Thomas van der Mars picked up his first career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Nicholas recorded his eighth double-double of the year with 11 points and 13 boards. Sophomore Kevin Bailey added 12 points and freshman Bryce Pressley chipped in 10 for the Pilots (9-17, 2-9 WCC).
Portland took a 57-54 lead on a Rodgers jumper with 2:12 left in regulation, but a three-pointer by Lorne Jackson tied the game. Following a pair of Pilot missed shots Nikolas Skouen drilled another three-pointer to give the Waves (11-13, 3-8) a 60-57 edge with 1:07 remaining. Portland would go scoreless on the next two possessions, but Pepperdine missed a pair of front end one-and-one free throws. Nicholas then hit a contested three-pointer with 20 seconds remaining to tie the game and Pepperdine missed two chances at the rim in the final five seconds to send the game to overtime.
Jackson's fast break layup were the first points of overtime as Pepperdine would lead from start-to-finish. Leading 68-65 with eight second remaining, the Waves chose to foul and Rodgers made both free throws with five seconds on the clock. The Pilots fouled Jordan Baker who converted both free throws with four seconds left and Rodgers was fouled once again with 3.7 seconds remaining. He made the first to make it 70-68 and then intentionally missed the second. Nicholas appeared to tie up Jackson for a jump ball on the long rebound, but a foul was called and Jackson iced the game with two more free throws.
Portland outrebounded Pepperdine 52-37 and had a 22-8 edge in offensive rebounds, but the Pilots only gained a 17-10 margin in second chance points. The Pilots shot just 33 percent from the field and 3-for-13 from three-point range. The Waves finished at 41 percent overall and 8-for-16 from beyond the arc.
Portland had a 29-26 halftime lead and appeared to take a six-point lead into the break when Tanner Riley made a 30-footer at the buzzer, but the officials went to the replay monitor and overturned the call.
Jackson had 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists to pace the Waves, while Baker and Skouen added 12 apiece.
The Pilots will now prepare for a two-game road trip beginning on Thursday at San Francisco with a 7 p.m. tip-off. Portland will then fly to Provo, Utah to take on BYU on Saturday at 6 p.m. (Pacific).

ANN ARBOR -- Denard Robinson celebrated his 22nd birthday by throwing four picks -- on consecutive throws -- against Notre Dame. He later added a fumble, and was the biggest reason Michigan lost that game.
He called it the worst performance of his career, and the most disappointing day of his life. He apologized to fans, and later his team.
And then he had two weeks to think about all of it.
The bye week was well-placed for the Wolverines, who needed to get healthy and self evaluate after a 2-2 start. But for Robinson, it couldn't have come at a worse time.
"I wanted to get going right after that," Robinson said after Tuesday's practice. "When you lose, you want to get back in the game. So (it) kind of came at the wrong time for me, it seemed like. But it's all good.
"Got to grow from it and make the most of it."
That starts with getting back to the basics.
Robinson was repeatedly praised in the offseason by coaches and players for his development in the passing game. That included correcting mechanical issues, especially his footwork, and improving his ability to read defenses.
That was expected to curb the turnover issues that plagued him last season.
Instead, Robinson has eight picks through four games and is on pace to exceed last year's total of 15. He has thrown the third-most interceptions in the country, despite having last week off.
"The biggest thing about that situation is getting back to some of the basics of reading the defense and making good decisions and things like that," offensive coordinator Al Borges said. "I think that's really the biggest factor. A couple footwork issues that hadn't shown up until that game too much."
So, it's back to basics.
For starters: Learning to throw away the ball.
It seems elementary enough. When a defense bears down on Robinson in the passing game -- and that's been the go-to defense of late against Michigan -- he can just chuck the ball into the stands.
Or at least use his physical gifts to tuck and run.
Yet, that has been a difficult task for Robinson. He forced the ball into tight coverage several times against Notre Dame when under duress, and tossed one pick that, if it wasn't intercepted by Manti Te'o, likely would have been picked off by another defender.
"There were a couple plays where I tried to do too much," he said. "I could have just easily thrown the ball away and we could have punted the ball. There was one throw for sure that I threw to (receiver Jeremy) Gallon, Manti Te'o picked the ball off, I know I could have just thrown the ball away and cut the losses."
What goes through Robinson's head when he heaves the ball under pressure?
"You're just in the heat of the battle and you thinking you can make something happen," he said. "That's all."
Robinson acknowledged it's hard for him to learn to throw away the ball, because he's used to being able to make plays. Borges is trying to break him of the habit.
"You gotta understand that he's been the dominant force in the (previous) two Notre Dame games," Borges said. "I think that he feels some of that, whether it's spoken or unspoken. As coaches, we have to reel him in a little bit.
"But he's going to be fine. I really believe he's going to be fine. He's shown some great progress going into that game. The good thing about it is you do have two weeks to remember your problems. We just take the turnovers out. We're going to be fine. We did some good things in that game. It wasn't hard to find good plays in that game.
"Problem was it just wasn't hard to find bad ones either."
Robinson has had time to reflect on the game, pour over the film and try to move forward. He thinks he's made progress toward becoming a more capable passer.
But that idleness also has been hard for him.
"It lasted for days because I felt I let my teammates down and I have to be accountable," Robinson said. "I have to be accountable to my team and that's not throwing interceptions, that's playing my role on the football team. Knowing that it's OK to throw the ball away, knowing it's OK to take a sack sometimes, knowing it's a good play to punt sometimes.
"I've got to start making better decisions as a quarterback and be accountable for the team."

Mark Bryan, Owner
Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza, 1580 Montgomery Highway, Hoover (978-4832) and 437 Green Springs Highway, Homewood (769-9445)
Pizza, take and bake only.
What sets this business apart from others?
The take-and-bake concept is unique and allows our customers to have a hot, fresh pizza at home whenever they are ready to bake one. No waiting for delivery or pick up then having to re-heat the pizza again at home. The pizza comes on its own baking tray so there is no need for a baking stone. You can also grill it on a gas or charcoal grill with an aluminum pan we provide. We make our dough fresh in the store every day; it is never frozen. We use fresh, local produce for our veggie toppings. And we have a well-trained, friendly staff to help you when you come in the stores.
Job you'd have if not a chef:
I have a master's in health care administration from UAB, so I would probably be a hospital administrator.
Who inspired your love for cooking?
Bobby Flay. I love his grill recipes; he really knows how to grill pizza, too.
Best advice you were ever given:
Your family is the most important thing in your life. My wife is my partner in the business and my daughter, a junior at Alabama, works in the store during school breaks.
Restaurant-related thing you are proudest of:
Starting this business from scratch in the middle of the worst economy since the Great Depression.
Favorite food to prepare:
I make a killer salsa with chipotles and fresh jalapenos.
Favorite food to eat:
I grew up in Tampa and learned to love Cuban food. There's nothing better than an authentic pressed, Cuban sandwich.
What would you choose for your final meal?
Paella from the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City (Tampa). I would have it with a side of barbecue ribs from one of the many great barbecue places in Alabama.
Favorite restaurant:
Hot and Hot Fish Club.
Favorite spice:
Favorite herb:
Do you cook at home?
All the time.
Kitchen item you could not work without:
My apron; without one I would ruin all my clothes.
Most disappointing kitchen gadget:
All those fancy wine bottle openers. They never work as well as a simple corkscrew.
Strangest occurrence involving your pizza:
An elderly customer bought one of our stuffed pizzas and called us while she was cooking it complaining about the red gooey stuff coming out of the pizza. Seems she cut the pizza before baking because it was too big for one meal. We convinced her it was the pizza sauce and the pizza was OK to eat. A week later, she bought another pizza and did the exact some thing.
Advice for someone outfitting a kitchen:
Buy a gas stove top and combination electric-gas double oven and the best stainless pots and pans you can afford.
Worst mistake most cooks make:
Too little seasoning.
Advice for pulling off a last-minute meal:
Come to Papa Murphy's!
Where will you be in 10 years?
Making Papa Murphy's pizza in multi-state stores.
Final thoughts:
Even though we've only been open a year, we have great, loyal customers in our two stores -- and we really appreciate them.

Cuyler, NY -- A Syracuse man was charged Tuesday with animal cruelty and abandonment after he left dogs, cats and a goat at his former home in the Cortland County town of Cuyler, officials said.
Cortland Community SPCA Investigator William Carr said Joseph J. Gary, 41, of Syracuse, moved out of his home and left two German shepherds, three cats and a goat behind, returning to feed them only every few days, if at all.
Carr said Gary had moved out at least a week earlier and perhaps two weeks earlier. When investigators got to the home, they found the animals had no food or water available.
Gary faces five counts of animal cruelty and four counts of abandonment. The charges are all misdemeanors.
Carr said Gary was in Cortland County jail pending $500 bail or $1,000 bond.

Ignite: Relationships@Work: Workplace conferencing - a restorative approach to conflict transformation
Target audience: All USQ employees
Materials: Nil
Are you looking for a new approach to addressing conflict in the workplace? Relationships@Work centres problem solving around an exploration of the harm that has been done and how to repair it.
The fundamental premise of the restorative approach to conflict resolution is that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes when managers take a collaborative approach to solve problems.
This two-day workshop will provide you with:
a better understanding and skill in what is needed to create, maintain and repair workplace relationships,
the opportunity to develop skills in creating robust, productive and emotionally healthy workplaces,
a better understanding of the negative and positive emotions in the workplace,
the development of skills in understanding the complexities that hinder resolution processes, and
practical (hands-on) opportunities to analyse workplace conflict situations and design appropriate processes.

Skip to comments.Troops: Strict war rules slow Afghan offensive (Obama handicaps our troops against the enemies)
Posted on 02/15/2010 4:22:28 PM PST by tobyhill
Some American and Afghan troops say they're fighting the latest offensive in Afghanistan with a handicap strict rules that routinely force them to hold their fire.
Although details of the new guidelines are classified to keep insurgents from reading them, U.S. troops say the Taliban are keenly aware of the restrictions.
"I understand the reason behind it, but it's so hard to fight a war like this," said Lance Cpl. Travis Anderson, 20, of Altoona, Iowa. "They're using our rules of engagement against us," he said, adding that his platoon had repeatedly seen men drop their guns into ditches and walk away to blend in with civilians.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
i'm not surprised. grrr.
"The aim of the operation is not to kill militants,"
Why the F are we still there?
So now our troops don't matter to their so-called leaders?
They must all want to be buried in an Obama T-shirt.
The military should NOT put up with this. The Pentagon should just declare to the Kenyan Usurper that the military's OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION is paramount — and that all "presidential" orders will now be evaluated within that context. If there is a conflict between what Barry wants and what the OATH requires, then the OATH should win.
Obama is an abject coward not a leader. All he cares about is his sorry ass.
"NATO and Afghan military officials say killing militants is not the goal . . . More important is to win public support."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was the strategy we used to gain unconditional surrender from Germany and Japan. /sarcasm
That's a marked change from the battle of Fallujah, Iraq in November 2004. When Marines there encountered snipers holed up in a building, they routinely called in airstrikes. In Marjah, fighter jets are flying at low altitude in a show of force, but are not firing missiles.
We endured this kind of BS in Beirut, where many men died without a chance and for no reason at all. I had hoped we'd never see it again, but this restrictive ROE is a leadership betrayal of the lives entrusted to them.
President Karzi has demanded strict rules of engagement to keep civilian casualties, "collateral damage", to a bare minimum. We are there to free Afghannies who are our allies from militants. It is in our best interest to keep the civilians on our side. This only makes sense.
If the goal is not killing militants—dumbest thing I ever heard. We know from Gitmo that most of them cannot be "turned". If the aim is not to defeat Al Queda this is all a waste of American lives, time and money.
Contrary to what Murtha said, our troops don't murder innocent civilians in cold blood.
No. It isn't.
I long for old school warfare.
To show that our president is being Tough and has a heart. My son is headed over there. I was all for him going B.S.(before Soetoro. I am not any more. This Rules of nonEngagement are insane.
Individual lives of simply do not matter to leftists other than for their political value. With these rules Soetoro is telling the enemy that he is really on their side but has to go through the motions of fighting them in order to keep his job to be able to continue to promote eventual universal sharia.
The General is the agent of the Administration and is following orders.
But stupid can not learn from past mistakes.
Where these ROE's also in place during Bush's terms in office?
Were these ROE's also in place during Bush's terms in office?
Damn right. Bravo for reminding us.
Yes,and they seemed to change every day.It made things tuff,I was in Tikrit March 2003-2004.
Well God Bless you and thank you for your service. Were you Army? I can't imagine your being hobbled like this. It's beyond insane. Desk-bound bureaucrats and politically-correct pencil-necks who've never been where the rubber meets the road and they presume to tell a soldier how and when he/she can fight. Amazing.
This reminds me of the air war in Vietnam. Rats every time.

About LakeEffectBro
Just an outdoor loving son of a toot! Loving Michigan and all it has to offer! Now a Texas transplant- living in Texas and loving all it has to offer!
By: LakeEffectBro , 3:00 AM GMT on November 18, 2013
Greetings, Bloggers and Bloggettes!
LakeEffectBro here with another Michigan meteorological mishap! For those who don't have television or radio but frequently check weather blogs, today was an odd, odd day of weather.
First, the thunder. OH the thunder! It was louder and stronger than a Lake Michigan lighthouse horn. But, we here in Michigan take any chance we have to get out and enjoy the warmth before the tenacious spell of winter cold sets in. Today we ran around in the driving sheets of rain- and the wind that struck with such a tremendous bellow that it could kill a senior citizen in a matter of seconds.
We escaped the cold air following the front by jumping in a hot tub and riding out the wind and rain cozied in the warmth in a bowl of dirty water.
But, all good things must end, and the cold air is probably here to stay. As is well and right I suppose. We Michiganders, who celebrate Canadian holidays, expect the Canadian Thanksgiving in mid-October to be warm and pleasant, but our patriotic American counterpart should be snowy and white. What else makes turkey more delicious than the feeling of eating it beside a warm, flickering fire?
Ta-ta for now, and beware the Witch of November- if she can sink a ship, she can kill you!

MARQUETTE - The Smithsonian is coming to the Erickson Center in Curtis.
The Smithsonian Institution exhibit "Journey Stories" will be at the center from Nov. 25 to Jan. 24 during normal business hours and during special museum events.
According to a press release from The Smithsonian, "Journey Stories" is a exhibition that shows how evolving mobility changed a young nation and how transportation made the United States grow.

Vernon Evans stands next to his car during a journey in July 1936. Photographer Arthur Rothstein noted: 'Vernon Evans of Lemmon, South Dakota, near Missoula, Montana. Leaving grasshopper-ridden and drought-stricken area for a new start in Oregon or Washington.' A display about America's travels is coming to the Erickson Center in Curtis later this month.

Conductor Jacob Chi and the Marquette Symphony Orchestra will present a concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at Kaufman Auditorium in Marquette. (MSO photo)
The exhibit includes stories from travelers, accounts that "express the hopes and promises of fresh starts, the grim realities of forced migrations and difficult journeys, and the thrills of personal travel."
"Journey Stories" is brought to the Erickson Center by the Smithsonian Institution and the Michigan Humanities Council. It is the only site in the Upper Peninsula to see this exhibit.
The Smithsonian's literature about the exhibit states: "Americans are all about going places. We savor our freedom to travel, an we have always been an intensely mobile society. That mobility spurred the development of transportation modes and systems: trains, cars, boats, and airplanes; trails, roads, and massive highways - all to make 'getting there' as easy as possible."

Is Joan Jett joining Nirvana at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction?
It looks like Joan Jett could be playing with the remaining members of Nirvana at their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow night in Brooklyn.
On their Instagram account, Foo Fighters—led by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl—posted a photo of Grohl's drum set, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic's bass, Pat Smear's guitar and Joan Jett's guitar, according to Stereogum, in a set up from what looked like a rehearsal.
The Rock Hall has not announced whether Nirvana would play at Thursday night's induction (Fellow inductees Kiss and Linda Ronstadt will not, in fact Ronstadt will not even attend).
Taking the late Kurt Cobain's place in Nirvana, even just for one night, takes balls, but we can think of few better than Jett to jump in. First off, she and Grohl are great pals and seem to love playing together. Second, she can handle the job. In fact, it would be a real kick to see her tackle "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "Come As You Are."
R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe will induct Nirvana.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will air on HBO on May 31.

38th Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival begins today
Jim Payne is a musician and fabulous folkie who will be a recognizable face to anyone attending this year's Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival at Bowring Park.

He'll scuff up on Saturday evening in the Dance Tent, then head to the main stage as one of A Crowd of Bold Sharemen, before taking to the Oral Traditions Tent on Sunday for a session of Silly Songs and a performance on the theme of Dynamic Duos with longtime collaborator Fergus O'Byrne.
"We first have to decide who's going to be Batman and who's going to be Robin," he said with a laugh, speaking with The Telegram Thursday.
The main stage is for top material, he said, but the tents and workshops can offer intimate, magically creative moments for audiences.
"You'll hear one song that night make you remember one of your own." And that's when he'll pick up the tune, or respond with that song rarely played.
"It's kind of an unpredictable thing."
Matthew Byrne is a fabulous folkee who started at the festival with an appearance on the Neil Murray Stage for young talent more than a dozen years ago — more years than he says he can really remember.
He now has two collections released — Ballads (2010) and Hearts and Heroes (2014) — and will be back performing at the festival this year in the Oral Traditions Tent.
"The tents have slowly become as important, I think, as the main stage," he said, explaining the locations are key to the best audience, and artist, experiences.
"You never know who's going to do a sudden collaboration ... or how it's going to go," he said.
"As a performer, it's one of my favourite ways to play because you're just kind of sitting there talking to the audience."
The tents are also the place for new voices — in both vocals and instrumentals. This year, the Neil Murray Stage will feature 15 acts, including performances from Emma Peckford, fresh off her win of the national She's The One contest at the Ottawa Bluesfest, and Jenna Maloney, who was recognized in the Statoil Songwriters of Tomorrow contest.
Of course the main stage lineup remains the most promoted and the draw for many festival-goers. The Dardanelles, The Benoits, The Fortunate Ones, Gord Downie, City on the Coast and The Blue Drop (Allan Byrne and Holly Hogan) are included in the main stage schedule.
"What I think is the most amazing thing about this lineup is the incredible diversity. There are performers here who are really into traditional Newfoundland music. We have Connemara, A Crowd of Bold Sharemen, The Masterless Men closing out Sunday night. And then we also have this really nice mix of sort of up and coming, young acts like The Freels, who do very traditional stuff," said festival manager Erin Whitney.
"And then there's totally off the wall acts like The Burning Hell, there's really beautiful Basia Bulat — there's just such a range of things to choose from, I think, no matter what your musical tastes. ... I don't think we're going to be getting into any heavy metal, that might be the only thing. But I mean the Dards are pretty high energy there."
Whitney is self-described as not at all a folkie, but a big fan of stumbling across strong performers.
"I didn't grow up going to the festival. I was more of a rock and roll girl. So its been really fun for me to kind of come over to this side and discover a whole new genre of music," she said, naming The Dardanelles and The Freels as making the personal play list of late.
"I'm looking forward to making some more (discoveries) this weekend."
The organizer waved off the touchy forecast. "Personally I'm looking forward to a bit of a break from all the hot weather. And if it's like this, I think it will be lovely. We'll see if we get downpours, but I don't think rain scares Newfoundlanders. I think sun scares them more," she said.
A complete schedule for all stages can be found here, or at nlfolk.com.
Tickets are available online, by phone at 1-888-311-9090, at O'Brien's Music, The Attic (UC-3009) at Memorial University of Newfoundland's St. John's campus, the Jack Byrne Arena, Brewed on Bernard in Corner Brook, Travel Bug and The Music Collection.

The journey of Eric Papenfuse from gadfly to Harrisburg's mayor-elect began six years ago.
That's when he and others started pushing to expose the financial and political dysfunction that brought Pennsylvania's capital city to the brink of bankruptcy. It was also during that time that he made to attempts at elected office, seeking a seat on city council in 2009, and running for Dauphin County commissioner in 2011.
The difference in his run for mayor could have been the legitimacy since lent to his criticisms by a scathing forensic audit, state Senate hearings, proposed legislative reforms and development of a municipal financial recovery plan since his last run for City Council in 2011.
His opponents might say Papenfuse's victory is less the story of gadfly done good than one sold out. They've pointed to his backing by the political establishment he once attacked and support from powerful local and regional business interests who contributed heavily to his $384,000 war chest. That fundraising total is a record high for city politics and more than doubled the next-highest haul the seven-candidate field.
Papenfuse's platform was, however, one of consensus.
And maybe his "Together We Can" slogan struck voters as a much-needed antidote to the divisions and infighting among local officials. In the May primary election he defeated, among others, incumbent Mayor Linda Thompson and city Controller Dan Miller. He then went on to win office in November, despite challenges from Miller, running on the Republican ticket, write-in candidates Aaron Johnson and Lewis Butts.
His recent trip to the White House and the city's multimillion-dollar debt restructuring are reminders of the national spotlight on Harrisburg.
Given that and the many challenges facing the city, the Midtown Scholar Bookstore owner has a great opportunity To take advantage of it, he'll need to build as big and strong a team as he can get.

Running back De'Antwan Williams was one of Rutgers' star recruits a couple years ago but has not contributed much on the field since he arrived.
With a crowded backfield, including this year's star running back recruit Savon Huggins, Williams could transfer if he doesn't get playing time. But, so far this spring, he has made a strong impression.
The running back battle could come down to Huggins vs. Williams, who gained 6,909 yards back in high school.
NJ.com user trymont wonders why Williams hasn't played in the past:
I don't know too many backs that ran for over 6,000 yards in high school or college. I'm not aware of Huggins numbers but I don't think he bettered that mark. I am at a loss why (coach Greg) Schiano wouldn't play the kid last year. I, like a lot of fans in the stands, was left scratching my head as to why he wouldn't give a kid like that a chance. I hope there is a place for Williams this year to prove what he can do. We will see in September. If not I would transfer out. He seems too good to sit...
And NJ.com user 1rudennis is rooting for Williams to succeed:
I think it's great DW is taking on the competition and sticking it out, and I'm sure Schiano told Savon the job is his to lose. This could possibly really heat up the rest of the team with two monster backs going at it head to head, I just hope DW shows his worth and finds a starting spot somewhere, maybe returning kicks or punts. This could turn out to be a real nice story. Show your stuff DW!!

Despite the Cincinnati Bengals' overachieving during the 2012 NFL season, there are significant personnel issues the team must address this offseason.
One of them is at the wide receiver position.
Jerome Simpson gave fans one heck of a highlight when he pulled off that flip into the end zone. It will probably be the lasting memory of his time in Cincinnati.
Simpson is a free agent and it's unlikely the team will re-sign following his indictment for the trafficking of marijuana.
That leaves a pretty significant hole for the Bengals.
There is a pretty good crop of free-agent wide receivers that look to be hitting the market this offseason.
Also, with the Bengals' two first-round picks, they have the opportunity to look to the NFL draft as a way to strengthen the position.
Should they look to the college ranks, here's six wide receivers that could help the Bengals now.

Media bias so blatent even Dan Rather agrees!
When Dan Rather notes the media is biased in favor of the Obama campaign, how can you continue to deny it? (My emphasis throughout)
Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather says there is a huge double-standard in the media when it comes to coverage the Barack Obama campaign receives, which is clearly made evident in the lack of scrutiny given to comments Obama's vice presidential running mate Sen. Joe Biden made earlier this week. [Re: international crisis]
... if Sarah Palin had said this, the newspapers would have jumped all over it, and so would the major television outlets."
Journalist Michael Malone wrote a great piece about this subject in Media's Presidential Bias and Decline, Columnist Michael Malone Looks at Slanted Election Coverage and the Reasons Why. It is long, 5 pages, but very much worth the read. Here are a few highlights:
The traditional media are playing a very, very dangerous game -- with their readers, with the Constitution and with their own fates.
The sheer bias in the print and television coverage of this election campaign is not just bewildering, but appalling. And over the last few months I've found myself slowly moving from shaking my head at the obvious one-sided reporting, to actually shouting at the screen of my television and my laptop computer.
Reporting bias, pg 2:
But my complacent faith in my peers first began to be shaken when some of the most admired journalists in the country were exposed as plagiarists, or worse, accused of making up stories from whole cloth...
Meanwhile, I watched with disbelief as the nation's leading newspapers, many of whom I'd written for in the past, slowly let opinion pieces creep into the news section, and from there onto the front page. Personal opinions and comments... were now standard operating procedure at the New York Times, the Washington Post, and soon after in almost every small town paper in the U.S.
The Presidential Campaign, pg 3:
But nothing, nothing I've seen has matched the media bias on display in the current presidential campaign.
Republicans are justifiably foaming at the mouth over the sheer one-sidedness of the press coverage of the two candidates and their running mates. But in the last few days, even Democrats, who have been gloating over the pass -- no, make that shameless support -- they've gotten from the press, are starting to get uncomfortable as they realize that no one wins in the long run when we don't have a free and fair press.
...If the current polls are correct, we are about to elect as president of the United States a man who is essentially a cipher, who has left almost no paper trail, seems to have few friends (that at least will talk) and has entire years missing out of his biography.
That isn't Sen. Obama's fault: His job is to put his best face forward. No, it is the traditional media's fault, for it alone (unlike the alternative media) has had the resources to cover this story properly, and has systematically refused to do so.
Joe the Plumber, pg 4:
The absolute nadir (though I hate to commit to that, as we still have two weeks before the election) came with Joe the Plumber.
Middle America, even when they didn't agree with Joe, looked on in horror as the press took apart the private life of an average person who had the temerity to ask a tough question of a presidential candidate. So much for the standing up for the little man...
...Furthermore, I also happen to believe that most reporters, whatever their political bias, are human torpedoes … and, had they been unleashed, would have raced in and roughed up the Obama campaign as much as they did McCain's. That's what reporters do. I was proud to have been one, and I'm still drawn to a good story, any good story, like a shark to blood in the water.
So why weren't those legions of hungry reporters set loose on the Obama campaign? Who are the real villains in this story of mainstream media betrayal?
The editors. The men and women you don't see; the people who not only decide what goes in the paper, but what doesn't; the managers who give the reporters their assignments and lay out the editorial pages. They are the real culprits.
Malone concludes his piece discussing the editor's role in biased media.
Just this week I heard Newt Gingrich refer to the media as being "Pravda like" and Mark Levin characterized the biased media as being "open and brazen" when it comes to the outcome of this election.
I can hear some of you defending the media's coverage of this election, but when even Dan Rather sees the bias, I know it has become too huge a problem to ignore any longer.
The part I can't figure out is why come out with this now? Conservatives and even Hillary Clinton during the primary have been saying this all along. Are they worried that Obama won't close the deal? Or is it just that they want to feel blameless after the damage has been done.
Please, comment content should relate to the subject of the post. Although I try to respond to many, do not interpret my lack of a response as agreement.

ROME (AP) — A migration expert says only 3 of an estimated 100 women on a migrant ship that capsized off Italy have been rescued, and no children have been saved so far.
Italian experts say at least 94 people have died in Thursday's shipwreck of the southern island of Lampedusa.
Simona Moscarelli, a legal expert for the International Organization for Migration in Rome, told The Associated Press that "only the strongest survived" the capsize and most of the migrants coming from Africa could not swim.
She based her comments on her agency's early interviews with survivors.

Law or outlaws

Michael Vick is doing his best to create a quarterback controversy with Kevin Kolb and the Philadelphia Eagles.
And that's a good thing.
Vick was brought into Philadelphia last season to be a backup. During the offseason, Donovan Mcnabb was traded to the division rival Washington Redskins and the Eagles said they would be moving forward with QB Kevin Kolb.
The old adage in the NFL is that you don't lose your job to injury. After suffering a concussion in Week 1, Kolb was replaced by Vick, who then started Week 2 when Kolb had to sit out.
Going into Week 3 the Eagles had a choice to make, stay with the hot hand in Vick, or go back to Kolb now that he was better. The Eagles chose Vick and here are five reasons why it was a good choice.

Kelleher International Dating Reviews and Complaints
Kelleher International is a family-owned matchmaking concern with offices located throughout the world including Los Angeles, Houston, Seattle, Scottsdale, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Boston and South Florida. Kelleher's "detailed search system," together with its 25 years of experience, allows the experienced staff members to locate appropriate matches for their members. Kelleher works with highly educated and professional singles and offers a special CEO Premium package which relates to specialized dating searches.
Chris in Las Vegas views Kelleher as the type of personalized matchmaking service that he was looking for. When he reviews his experiences over the past six months, he notes that "each date was appropriate to my expectations. The women shared my interests and goals and the dates were stimulating and enjoyable."
Shari in San Francisco appreciates the Kelleher personalized service. "I wanted to review the different dating services available in the Bay Area before getting involved. Kelleher was the one that personalized my search and made an effort to insure that the guys that I met were on my level, both intellectually as well as their view of what they wanted out of a life partner."
Brittany in Washington DC has found a serious relationship through Kelleher and writes "I doubt that I would have met Craig through any other service. Kelleher delivered on their promises and I have no complaints."
Joanne of Beverley Hills voices one complaint that, she believes, Kelleher should examine. "I would like to see more minority members represented by Kelleher. I don't believe that I have to limit my dating to men of my own ethnicity, but I do find that I have more in common with guys who share my background. It would be helpful to have more nationalities and ethnicities represented at Kelleher."
Steve in La Jolla found Kelleher to be a positive service for social introductions. "I don't have time to date simply to check someone out, but I've reached a point in my life when I want to settle down. I signed up for Kelleher's CEO Club which took a big weight off of my shoulders. I met women who were very suitable to what I am looking for and have begun dating one of the women on a regular basis."

TRENTON - Jeff Marquez may have thrown his last pitch as a member of the Yankees organization in the sixth inning of tonight's 3-2 Thunder victory over Bowie in Game 1 of a doubleheader.
At least until he clears waivers Friday.
Out of minor league options and with the Yankees not expected to activate the 27-year-old right-hander from the 60-day disabled list before Tuesday, Marquez will need to pass through waivers once he is designated for assignment and removed from the 40-man roster in order to return.
Marquez, who sprinkled one bad (third) inning into an otherwise good outing in which he allowed only three hits and walked one, either will be claimed by another team or sent back into the Yankees' minor league system by the start of next weekend.
"I have to approach it as if I am starting again five days from now, said Marquez, the winning pitcher against Bowie in what is officially listed as a Major League rehab appearance. "It's tough (not to worry about it) because you don't know what's going to happen, but you can't control it. So if you can't control it, you can't really worry about it.''
In Game 2, the Thunder failed to hold a 3-0 first inning lead and could not score despite loading the bases in the seventh and final inning of a 5-4 loss to the Baysox at Waterfront Park.
After being claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox June 8, Marquez worked four innings of relief over three appearances with the Yankees, but suffered an injured shoulder later determined to be inflammation.
"It's tough because I felt that while I was up there I was pitching well and feeling good,'' Marquez said. "It was a weird feeling. The last day I threw I just felt a tweak in my arm. I didn't really want to say anything at first because you want to be in the big leagues, somewhere you feel you belong, but it got to the point where I had to say something. Unfortunately, it turned into this long process, but I am feeling good now.''
Traded to the White Sox for outfielder Nick Swisher in November of 2008, Marquez pitched for the Thunder in 2007 and earned the win in the Eastern League championship clincher against Akron on Sept. 14, 2008.
But since April 8 (134 days), Marquez has pitched in five different uniforms: Triple-A Charlotte (White Sox), the Yankees, the Gulf Coast League Yankees, the Class-A Tampa Yankees and the Class-AA Thunder.
Although Trenton fosters good memories for the pitcher taken by the Yankees with the 41st overall pick in the 2004 draft, it ranks just ahead of the team's minor league complex in Tampa as one of the last places he wants to be during the dog days of August with the Yankees likely headed back to the postseason.
Marquez seemed eerily resigned to his fate last night, whatever that may be.
Should he clear waivers, Marquez likely will finish out 2011 with the Thunder, who are locked in a three-way tussle with Reading and New Britain for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Division.
"I am ready to go wherever the Yankees want to put me,'' Marquez said. "If not, hopefully I'll be in the big leagues somewhere.''
Zoilo Almonte laced a third inning two-run double and Corban Joseph had two hits and an RBI to give Marquez all the offense he would need.
Pat Venditte and Josh Schmidt finished off Bowie in the seventh and final inning.
The Thunder jumped out to a 3-0 lead in Game 2 on sacrifice flies by Almonte and Rob Lyerly, along with a run-scoring single by Corban Joseph.
Starter Graham Stoneburner needed 76 pitches to get out eight outs, including 34 in the third, and was an early hook for manager Tony Franklin.
Steve Garrison (3-8, 6.86) has developed a blister and will have his next scheduled start pushed back to Wednesday.
Time: 5:05 p.m.
Site: Mercer County Waterfront Park.
Starting pitchers: Bowie RHP Tim Bascom (8-3, 3.26) vs. Thunder LHP Shaeffer Hall (10-7, 4.40).
Radio, Internet: 91.3 FM WTSR, trentonthunder.com.

Local lore credits a settler in the early 1800s with naming rights for West Virginia's Canaan Valley.
Henry Fansler, a German immigrant, allegedly came upon the scenic valley and exclaimed, "Besiehe das Land Canaan" (behold the Land of Canaan), comparing what he saw to the Biblical promised land.
"That's the romantic interpretation," said Bill Smith, executive director of the Tucker County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Another possibility: Canaan evolved from Little Canada, the one-time nickname of Davis, so-called because of the region's northern-like climate and dense trees.
In any case, Canaan Valley refers to not only the state park but also the region, roughly 25,000 acres of high-elevation wetlands in the Blackwater River valley. Much of the area, including Canaan Valley and Blackwater Falls state parks, is also part of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Tied to the Biblical land in the Middle East or not, Canaan Valley has a pronunciation that's all-American. Unlike the ancient Land of Canaan (pronounced "kay-nen"), the land in West Virginia puts the emphasis on the second syllable (ke-nayne).

ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew vehemently denies that there was a rift between him and former coach Jim Schwartz.
"There is a lot of speculation about a lot of things nowadays. It surprises me on the things people can speculate about," he said Monday during a joint news conference with club president Tom Lewand to announce Schwartz's firing. "When I read about how we are not speaking to our head coaches, I am just dumbfounded by (the notion) that we are not on speaking terms. It is totally wrong. It is totally off base."
Mayhew was responding to a report Sunday from the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who said during a "GameDay Morning" segment that "(there was) some serious dysfunction with the Lions, including the front office bringing in players and coaches simply not using them. By the end of the year the two sides -- they weren't really talking to each other."
The report later was published on NFL Network's website.
"There tends to be speculation about things, and people are just saying things that are false," Mayhew said. "It becomes news, and it's very disappointing."
Mayhew also strongly denied an ESPN report that said he wanted to fire Schwartz last year, but the Fords blocked the move because Schwartz was still owed too much money.
Schwartz is owed a reported $12 million after his firing Monday, and Lewand said that cash was not a concern.
"Our ownership's discussion begins and ends with what it takes to bring a consistently winning football team to the city of Detroit," Lewand said. "They started almost every conversation I had with them about the fans deserving better. Their commitment to our fans is amazing and the resources that they will bring to bear to accomplish the goal that they have for this organization is tremendously significant.
"And their focus was always on what it takes to get over that hump, to take the work that Jim Schwartz and his staff have done together with the other folks in this building and the progress that has been made and now really get to where we want to go as an organization. And that was their focus."
