Don Barry Yes. The best example is with air quality. The NPS can't solve that problem. The EPA and the White House can. The administration needs to decide whether it wants to protect the national parks or promote the streamlining of power plants.
Michael Frome No, they need more people protection. We need the regulations already in place enforced. There's no point in giving them any more laws.
Chuck Clusen The best way to protect the parks would be to grant them wilderness status, which would ban all industrial and most commercial development. The Wilderness Act of 1964 requires Congress to review all the parks for wilderness status, and we're still waiting for it to get the job done.
Dave Foreman Back in the '70s, conservationists put park wilderness on the back burner because the Forest Service and BLM areas were far more threatened by industrial extraction. We need to get back to pushing wilderness designation for parks that lack it. A lot of flagship parks–Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, all the Utah parks–don't have wilderness protection. That's the only way we can be sure those places stay wild.
Bruce Hamilton No, we need to enforce existing laws. We have trees dying from acid rain.

MUSKEGON, MI – It's been more than a month since the body of a Muskegon man was found near the city's bike path and authorities today say the cause of death remains unclear.
That's because the Muskegon Police Department is still awaiting results of an autopsy of the 37-year-old man found on Jan. 20 near the bike path behind Cole's Quality Foods, 1188 Lakeshore Dr., in Muskegon.
Police are also waiting for the results of a toxicology test to determine whether any substances, such as drugs or alcohol, were in his system at the time of death.
Once the cause of death is determined, authorities plan to release the man's name, authorities said.
The man's body was discovered around 9:45 p.m. in that area after police received an anonymous tip.
The investigation continues.

the only disappointment was breakfast (and this was well documented in other critiques so was not a surprise). A little watermelon or other fresh fruit would be great. Or get the room without breakfast and walk 2 blocks for $3.00 noodle soup.

I mentioned in wonder what sort of technological advances would face Ben when he was my age. Now I am starting to look at that same thing in horror as I realize that to keep up with technology I'll have to spend a small fortune.
Usually when I take photos I use my Canon Rebel 35MM SLR. I'm a big film fan, I think it's a proven format, and you don't have to worry about computer crashes killing all your photos.
I do have a digital camera though. It's handy for that quick photo to send to Pap Pap or for documenting damage to your mailbox done by a snowplow. It's an old one, a Sony Cybershot that is 3.5 mega-pixels. It cost a fortune 8 years ago. Now it's junk. It's junk because I can't get the old style memory sticks for them any more. The newer memory sticks are memory stick pro duos, and won't work right in my camera. So you guessed it, I had to buy a new digital camera. It was a good deal, a HP Photosmart 7 mega-pixal beauty.
I also tried to buy some VHS-C tapes for my camcorder. Wal-Mart doesn't carry them anymore. I ordered them from Amazon thankfully. Again, 5 years ago, my VHS-C camcorder was pretty much the best game in town, digitals were very expensive and fighting it out for formats. Now it's almost junk. What would happen if I bought a new DVD or mini-DV camcorder? How many years would it be until you wouldn't be able to get disks for it? Even if you got a hard drive device, and burned your own DVDs using a program like Apple iMovie, how many years until DVDs are a thing of the past? How many super-8s of my childhood sit unwatched because of format changes?
All I want to do is document Ben's first smiles and baths. A trip to Christmas Village, and his first Christmas. As it turns out. In 10 years what we record now will not be able to be watched, so I think I'll just stick to my 35mm film camera. Everyone looks at photos.

King's College stood out for years, and still stands out, as
the premier secondary school in West Africa. When it was
established in 1909 among the foundation scholars were I. L.
Oluwole, later Dr. Oluwole the first Nigerian Medical
Officer of Health; J. C. Vaughan later a renowned medical
practitioner and Founder of the Nigerian Youth Movement,
Frank Macaulay, who became a business man; 0. Omololu, later
a practising doctor. And among the early starters were T. A.
Doherty, later a practising lawyer and
then a business man, a banker and a chief; D. Ade Onojobi
who later became a Master at King's; Ernest Ikoli, who was
also a Master at King's for a short period and later became
a renowned journalist; J. A. Ojo, a great footballer, also
took to the teaching profession and became a Master; V. A.
Kayode, one of the brilliant lawyers Nigeria has known, and
who died prematuredly. It is enough to mention these few
names who lit the torch at King's and passed it on.
In due course, students came from neighbouring countries.
One may mention Olympic from Lome who later became the First
President of Togo. Also Pinto who became a French lawyer and
later a Judge of the International Court of Justice. Later
still, from Ghana (then the Gold Coast) came Quashie,
Cuthbert Bruce, Quartey Asante, Torto, Nuro and others. One
of the earliest Principals of King's College was Mr. Mckee-Wright
who took care of the early teething troubles of the College
and who helped to build a reputation for the School. He was
reputed to be a great scholar and a wise man. I believe he
died at sea on his way home during the first World War when
his ship was attacked by the enemy. Mr. Magai succeeded him.
I did not know either of them.
Before Mr. Mckee-Wright, I am not sure but I had been told
that Mr. Hyde-Johnson was a principal at King's College. He
was, later, however the Director of Education, and Yaba
College was one of his achievements.Major H. A. Harman had
just arrived at King's as the principal when I went to the
school in 1920. He was a first rate disciplinarian and a man
of action. He raised the standard of the school which at
that time was going down. On the retirement or transfer of
Major Harman, Mr. D. L. Kerr became the acting principal.
His subjects in school were English and History. He acted
after Major Harman's departure for a long period but never
succeeded him as principal. The disappointment led to his
retirement, and I travelled on the same boat with him in
June 1927 when he left on his retirement.
When Major Harman was about to retire, I was the Senior
Prefect of the school. I was able to get all the students to
subscribe towards the purchase of a painting of him by the
celebrated artist, Mr. Aina Onabolu (also an art master at
King's at the time). He did not take the full value from us.
The oil painting protrait was presented to Major Harman.
After thanking us for this noble effort, he wisely left it
for the school. And there it hangs in the school hall till
I must mention the names of two other expatriate Masters in
my time. Mr. J. N. Panes the Latin Master: He was a
prodigious classical scholar from Oxford. He was a tall and
dignified person and extremely courteous. Mr. Crutchley, the
Science Master was the opposite of Mr. Panes. He was a very
quiet and self-effacing man, more concerned with experiments
in the laboratory than playful students around him in the
laboratory. He was very devoted to the labs, and he was the
type who would spend the last days of his life on researches
in the laboratory.
Of the Africans who taught at King's College, during the one
and half a decade of its existence, four of them were old
boys of the College. Ernest Ikoli was the first. He was
before my time. He was the first student who came from
Eastern Nigeria. I had earlier winy man ana carefree. He
told a story about himself. He said a European he met asked
him what he does for his living. He promptly replied:
"I live on my wits." He added that the man was to taken
aback and he (Ikoli) left him saying "Ask about me from my
friends." The second and third old boys who became Masters
at King's were Messrs. D. Ade. Onojobi and J. A. Ojo. They
were Masters at King's for so long and I am certain other
old boys will have a lot to say about them.
The fourth old boy who taught at King's College during the
period was Chief H. 0. Davies who tried his hands at
teaching for a period of twelve to fifteen months after he
passed his London Matriculation in the School. He packed up
teaching and joined the Civil Service on passing the Senior
Service Examination.The Africanisation of the staff at
King's College was not limited to Nigerians only. During its
early existence, Mr. C. J. Smart, a Sierra Leone graduate
was a Master for some years. He was Latin Master and in
charge of administration I met him at King's. A good few of
students from other parts of Nigeria were his wards. This
included the later Akenzua, the Oba of Benin, then known at
King's as Godfrey Okoro, Mr. C. J. Smart was a dandy and
affable man. He retired of his own volition an early
retirement after a nasty experience of a long-drawn out case
of financial mismanagement. He retired to live at Benin
There was also Revd. Nicol, a kindly and gentle middle aged
man at King's College in my time. The net for Masters at
King's went very far. Two who originated from the West
Indies in the Nigeria Education Department at the time
became Masters at King's. They were affectionately called Pa
Veitch and Pa Liverpool respectively. Pa Veitch was an
energetic, colourful and resourceful Jamaican whose method
of teaching was how to answer examination papers or
questions. He would tell the class how to answer question
paoers so that the examiner may fall in love with us:-
"If you answer the question in this way, the examiner will
fall in love with you." It became a joke that he only had to
start about what and what to do or say, the class will
finish the sentence:- "and the examiner will fall in love
Pa Liverpool was of a gentler disposition. He did not stay
for long at King's before being transferred to the Delta. I
learnt, however, that that was not his first session at
King's. I must not leave out a young Nigerian (young at the
time) from the Mid-West who came to teach at King's College
about 1923. His name is Mr. Nkune. He was there when I left
but later left for United Kingdom to study Law. I have not
seen him in his wig and gown ! He must be an old man now.
The top class at King's College in 1920 when I went there as
a very junior school boy was Form IV. Later a Form V was
created. Form IV was manned by a galaxy of formidable array
of able students like S.L.A. Manuwa, later to become Dr.
Manuwa, first Nigerian Director of Medical Services; D.
Peters (later Dr. Peters); E.O. Allen-Taylor,
later a high grade civil servant; and a high Chief at
Abeokuta; one Quashie, from Ghana; J. Tresize later a
General Manager of a big company, Messrs Gottschalk & Co.,
J. Randle, then the Senior Prefect and E. Ekpeyong, Mr.
Tresize I know is still alive.
The following year, students in Form IV were Nestor-Samuel,
D. A. Akerele, who died prematuredly, C. A. Howells, I.
Williams commonly known as I. MooMoo, his bro- ther A.
Williams, E. Thomas, nicknamed Eliri Thomas later a Lawyer
practised in the North and since dead. Trailing behind these
and later to come up to Form IV were A. W. Howells, later to
becoioe Bishop Howells, L. A. Oke who later became a high
Civil Servant, Feko, who died prematuredly, H. 0. Davies
later a teacher at King's; then a civil servant, and later
still a lawyer and Queen's Counsel; Gutbert Nanka-Bruce,
from Ghana lalei doctor of medicine; R. 0. Staveley later
became an engineer. He was employed in the Ministry of Works
(then Public Works Department); and was the first Nigerian
to builc bridge. There was also B. A. Manuwa who became a
high civil servant; Charles Majek dunmi who later became a
doctor. Stephen Thomas later to become a Lawyer; was elavat
to the Bench in due course. Also N.O.A. Morgan who was later
called to the Bar; becai a Chief Registrar and died on the
eve of his being elevated to the Bench.

I got a letter in the mail today saying I was selected as an "all-American scholar." It says my guidence counselor nominated me and i went thur some kind of process and got selected. Is this another one of those Who's Who/National Honor Roll scams or does this actually mean anything special?

CrazyAndy: Do you remember filling out a sheet for United States Achievement Academy? They select their top applicants and name them "All-American Scholars." Ringing any bells? About on a par with the Who's Who, National Honor Roll--all allegedly give scholarships, and there is no cost for inclusion in the book if you don't submit a photo, and don't purchase the book. My daughter was an All-American Scholar as a sophomore. Congratulations.

'I don't know about national achievment academy but my cat was nominated for "whos who".'
That's priceless. You should send in a picture.
|By Emeraldkity4 (Emeraldkity4) on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 01:17 pm: Edit
I never even thought of that
We often have names that we use when filling out info then you can trace where your junk mail is coming from.
( Its easier to go through junk mail too if something is addressed to "sparky")
"Sparky" also gets credit card offers and invites to join singles clubs
|By Crazyandy (Crazyandy) on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 07:47 pm: Edit
well I e-mailed the US Achievement academy and they said that All-American scholars is something colleges look at. so i guess i'll add it to the apps this fall...

Greetings all: National Honor Roll is a vanity press. You send them money; they print junk in their "commemorative yearbook." Doesn't mean a thing. Please see my posting at http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?6/35760 Hope this helps.

The defense started slow but dominated for all but a fraction of a 52-7 victory over Ole Miss.
Trent Richardson was dazzling on a 76-yard touchdown run that highlighted a 183-yard, four-touchdown performance.
And the moral of this mismatch is a strong message to the rest of college football.
"We have yet to put together a full 60 minutes of football," said senior wide receiver Brandon Gibson, who caught the first touchdown pass of his five-year career. "It's a scary feeling. Once we get that down ... we'll have a lot of fun this season."
Imagine an offense playing better than this. It averaged 9.3 yards per play while compiling 615 total yards (389 rushing).
Picture a defense picking it up after recording 14 tackles for a loss. The nation's top-ranked rushing defense held Ole Miss to 28 yards rushing on 31 carries, thanks to five sacks for 34 yards in losses.
"I thought going in this week they were in the top two or three that we've ever faced. but after seeing them live, I think they're much better than seeing them on film," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said of the Tide's defense.
"They're much, much better. ... They're one of the best we've faced in a long, long time."
But this defense wasn't perfect. It surrendered a 59-yard pass on the third play of the game and a touchdown on the fifth play.
After that, Ole Miss netted zero yards on its remaining 18 plays in the first half, which ended with Alabama leading 17-7.
The Tide broke the game open with 28 points in the first 13 minutes of the second half.
"That was probably our best-executed quarter of the year," tackle Barrett Jones said.
It was then when the hare ran wild.
"We managed to really hit them in the mouth in the second half," said Richardson, who opened the half with an 8-yard touchdown run, then followed it with his long, breathtaking run.
"They were telling me to give his ankles back," Richardson said teammates told him on the sidelines.
Richardson credited wide receivers Marquis Maze and DeAndrew White with excellent blocks.
"I saw I had to get into the end zone some type of way," said Richardson, who tied Shaun Alexander's school record with a sixth consecutive 100-yard game. "I couldn't let those blocks go to waste."
But back to the beginning.
Gibson said the Tide never blinked after falling behind. An 8-yard Richardson TD run capped a nine-play, 79-yard drive on the Tide's first possession.
"When teams come out in the SEC and they give us a nice little blow at the beginning of the game, we've just got to come out with a positive drive, whether it's a field goal or a touchdown," Gibson said.
"Once we get that going and make the ballgame back to zero to zero, it's smooth sailing from there."

There is much to be said against the unnecessary layering of 3-D pseudo-effects on movies like "Clash of the Titans" and "Alice in Wonderland." But if someone with the cinematic chops of Martin Scorsese wants to make a movie that's 3-D from the get-go -- actually shot in the format and not mutated into it afterward -- then I'm all for it. That trade paper without staff critics is reporting that this is just the case with "The Invention of Hugo Cabaret," Scorsese's adaptation of the smash hit kids book by Brian Selznick. Expect to see it around Christmas time, 2011.

A special exhibit of the seven models for the Maya Linn Confluence Project will be shown 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, Aug. 5-29, at the American Institute of Architects Gallery, 403 N.W. 11th Ave. at Flanders Street, in Portland's Pearl District.
The exhibition coincides with the public dedications in August of the Confluence Project's two recently completed major public art sites in the Vancouver/Portland area, the Vancouver Land Bridge near the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Bird Blind on the Sandy River Delta, near Troutdale. The first completed project is in Washington's Cape Disappointment State Park.
Early on in conceiving these designs for the Confluence Project, Lin said, "It will be as if we are holding up a mirror to the Lewis and Clark story."
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience Lin's mastery up close through scaled models and drawings. This special exhibit, presented in partnership with the Portland chapter of the American Institute of Architects, allows insight into the artist's unique approach for this exceptionally large public art project.
The work integrates environmental concerns and history, with sensitivity to the tremendous changes the journey of Lewis and Clark brought to Native Americans and their homelands two centuries ago.
The Land Bridge and the Bird Blind, both opening officially to the public on Saturday, Aug. 23, are the second and third of seven planned sites comprising the entire Confluence Project. Details about all these events and the Project's ambitious work are available at www.confluenceproject.org.
Initiated in 2000 through the collaboration of a group of Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and civic groups from Washington and Oregon, the Confluence Project was envisioned to evoke the history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, to highlight the tremendous changes it brought to the Pacific Northwest, and to encourage action to preserve and protect the area's natural and cultural resources.
When complete, the project will have transformed seven places along the historic Columbia River Basin with significant landscape restoration and environmental enhancements, all of which complement permanent art installations by Lin.
Each of the seven sites along the 450-mile course of the Project is a place where waterways merge or indigenous peoples gathered, and each was a place of meeting between Native Americans and the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804-1806.
Through Lin's interpretations of the sites' history and terrain, these seven locations will now offer new points of encounter between the natural world and the built environment, the past and the present for people of all backgrounds. The nonprofit Confluence Project is scheduled to be completed in late 2009.

Doggone It
I've always liked mirrors. When I was a child, I would run to find one anytime I started crying, fascinated by the tears streaming down my face, the growing blotchiness of my cheeks, the green glimmer of the irises in my bloodshot eyes. To this day, I sometimes lean close to the mirror, admiring my eyelashes and the freckles splashed across my nose.
All of which is to say, it's not a huge stretch for me, really, to do the Stuart Smalley meme Blog Antagonist dreamed up and Joy, Of Course tagged me for. My task is to think of ten things I like about myself. The hard part will not be thinking of them; it will be hitting "publish" on this one and thus defying the code of self-deprecation that I imbued with my mother's milk.
1. I am good to myself. I take enormous pleasure in my achievements, including such things as dusting the piano every two weeks, getting the whole newspaper read before noon, and playing with my children in the back yard. I am not often weighed down by guilt. I reward myself with chocolate and ice cream as often as I deem necessary.
2. I know the meaning of the words gregarious, lugubrious, diaphanous, and hippopotamus. (And I can spell them without the aid of a dictionary.)
3. The forgiveness factor: I rarely hold grudges and usually find it easy to see another person's side of the story. I am not quick to take offense.
4. I read quickly and voraciously.
5. Lateral thinking. In my adult life, my fiction-writing skillz have proven to be far less impressive than my 12-year-old self fondly hoped, but my creativity does emerge in analytical settings, where I perceive connections between such unlikely pairings as Harlequin romances and Margaret Atwood, autism and Greek tragedy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Christianity, or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and toddler-rearing.
6. My hair. It's a dark chestnut brown, with auburn highlights where the sun strikes it. And I have brows and lashes to match.
7. My wrists, ankles, and shoulders. No matter how ungainly my midsection becomes, they help maintain an illusion of slenderness.
8. I have a sneaking affection for many of my faults. I am deeply competitive, for instance – so much so that I avoid most competitive situations because I cannot handle them gracefully. I have a phone-phobia, and I'm devoid of most social graces like remembering birthdays or participating in prolonged goodbyes. I have no small talk.
9. Emotional intuitiveness. I always know what I think and feel about things, and I usually know what other people are thinking and feeling as well.
10. When I was seventeen, I did a dramatic recitation from The Fantasticks for the S.H.A.R.E. banquet (Saunders High Achievers Recognition Evening). Usually the evening featured a skit, but that year I was the only person in the drama program who achieved marks high enough to be recognized, so it had to be a monologue. The high point of the piece was my fervent plea, "Please, God, please – don't let me be normal!" I like to believe that prayer was heard and answered.
Now it's time for the tagging (rubbing hands together in sadistic glee). Who should I
victimize pick? How about Omaha Mama, Aliki, and Pieces? You're it!

FOLEY, Alabama -- South Baldwin County officials should know by early 2012 whether a federal grant could help complete a bicycle-hiking link between the Eastern Shore and Gulf beaches.
The city of Foley has applied for $23 million in federal transportation grants to build about 70 miles of bicycle lanes, hiking trails, sidewalks and other facilities to allow residents and visitors to get around the area without using cars, Mike Thompson, city administrator, said.
"It would link subdivisions, retail centers, downtown, government offices and that sort of thing," Thompson said.
The grant application includes $1.5 million for two overpasses allowing cyclists and pedestrians to cross Ala. 59.
Foley officials have discussed the need for overpasses on Ala. 59 since the 1990s, but they said the city could not afford them.
The overpasses would help tie together downtown areas now bisected by one of the region's busiest highways, Jeff Rouzie, Foley economic development director, said.
"We're trying to tie the east and west together and make that more walkable," Rouzie said. "It would help our kids who live on the east side of 59 who have to go to school. They don't have an option now; the parents drive them. I would like to think that if they had an option, some of them within a shorter distance would probably ride their bikes or walk, if they didn't have to cross 59."
Rouzie said the program also would help tie together much of Baldwin County by linking paths and walkways throughout the area.
"It would be a regional kind of comprehensive plan that would tie in with the (Baldwin County) Trailblazers and other regional plans that are in place and have been worked on," Rouzie said. "It's really a regional effort to try to create alternative ways of transportation. Our focus too is to tie all of our businesses and retail and schools and neighborhoods together in a way where people can walk or ride their bikes in a safe manner."
Easier access by pedestrians would help promote business as well as improve the quality of life in the area, said Donna Watts, director of the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce.
"Having this connectivity in a community, giving people options of moving around, makes a community a lot more livable," she said. "It gets people out and moving. It makes people healthier. It allows seniors sometimes the opportunity to get to interface with others and have more of a social life. It makes a community happier."
If approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the money would come from a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, grant, Thompson said. He said city officials should know by early next year if the request is approved.
Even if the entire amount is not approved, any money would help promote both the physical and economic health of the area, Rouzie said.
"It's very competitive, but it's for rural communities, for which we qualify, so we'll be competing with communities like ourselves," Rouzie said. "Anything we can get will help."
If the money is approved, work would start in early 2013 and would have to be completed by 2018, according to grant guidelines.

Endicott, NY (WBNG Binghamton) It started off as a group of citizens that moved away from Endicott, only to return and not be happy with what they saw.
According to Endicott Trustee Frank Flint, times have been tough in Endicott every since IBM left.
And now thanks to the budget problems stemming from the Huron resettlement, the city is scrambling to come up with money lost.
That's why Flint says, groups like the Endicott Community Partnership, which is pretty much a neighborhood watch group, are more important than ever.
They help the police force by tipping them off about suspected criminal activity including gangs and drug trafficking.
"The police force I'm really happy with. They work very hard to make this community safe. And it's more of a proactive approach to the future, rather than a reactive," said Flint.
They're trying to watch out for crime in areas like Washington Street, a street that used to be the hub of Endicott.
Trustee Flint says that now, some people avoid the area.
The group meets on the first Tuesday of every month at the Cornerstone Community Church in Endicott.

Penn State's 2014 recruiting class ranks as high as No. 13 nationally, and the Nittany Lions are poised to add another four-star prospect in cornerback Troy Vincent Jr.
If the name sounds familiar, there's a reason for that. He is the son of former NFL standout Troy Vincent, who played for Miami, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Washington after a college career at Wisconsin.
The Nittany Lions apparently have the edge among schools on Vincent's short list — Maryland, North Carolina and Pittsburgh. He is a two-way player at Gilman projected to play in the secondary in college. According to 247sports.com, Vincent is expected to announce his decision before the end of the month.
One local football standout announced his college decision on Friday night. Harrisburg running back Robert Martin, who rushed for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior, is going to Rutgers.
"They're got a real good program and a real good academic program," Martin said of Rutgers. "They preach academics up there and they have a really high graduation rate."
North Penn ends LD's dream: Lower Dauphin scored once in the sixth inning and again in the seventh to force extra innings in Friday night's PIAA-AAAA baseball final. LD and North Penn went to the ninth inning before Eddie Posavec reached on a fielder's choice stole second and scored the state title-winning run on Bobby Scott's single to left.

Andrew Fortune Sr., who was thoroughly known in the Saranac Lake community as the longtime director of the Fortune-Keough Funeral Home, has died at age 96.
His death notice appears today (follow link at right), and an obituary will follow.
Today the Enterprise reprints a profile of his life, based on an interview with him, that was first published in this paper a decade ago.

SARANAC LAKE - Andy Fortune Sr. has brought life to a business that deals with death.
The 87-year-old Fortune is the longtime owner and operator of the Fortune-Keough Funeral Home on Church Street.
"I've been in the funeral business for 86 years," Fortune said. "My grandfather died and gave me some stock when I was 1 year old."
Years earlier, Fortune said his grandfather walked over Whiteface Mountain and wandered into Bloomingdale, at that time a stage depot, with a pack on his back. Somehow, Fortune said, he got involved in the funeral business, and the rest is history.
"He was a Ling, and he lived on what they called 'the back of the mountain'" he said. "They would farm, shot deer, do what they had to do. I guess he liked town life."
Fortune has been a "townie" his whole life. That's not to say he never left; far from it.
The bad ol' days
As a young boy, Fortune recalls a Saranac Lake where horses and carriages filled the streets.
"We did the usual kids stuff," Fortune said. "Football, baseball, basketball, fishing and fooling around."
After World War I, however, things changed.
Fortune's mother ran one of the many tuberculosis cure houses in the area. Fortune would help his mother care for up to 18 patients, mostly veterans.
According to Fortune, there were 52 drinking establishments from upper Broadway to Bloomingdale Avenue, and the vets were not shy when it came to visiting them.
"A lot of them drank all the time. Many knew they were going to die and just stayed drunk," he said. "I remember one guy, he didn't eat any food for six or seven years. He just drank."
Fortune would put the man to bed almost every night.
The cotton-candy machine
In almost 40 years Fortune has never missed a weekly meeting of the local Rotary Club. That fact alone could bring on stories of hundreds of projects and events. Let's stick to the one about the cotton-candy machine.
In the 1960s Fortune built a trailer, put in a cotton-candy machine and hit local events.
In the years to come the Rotary would add another machine to its arsenal and a snow-cone maker.
"I gave it to Rotary, and over the years we raised almost $100,000," Fortune said.
In 1942, Fortune enlisted in the Aviation Cadets just a few days before the 26-year-old cut off date.
"I just made it," he said.
Fortune eventually became an instructor, teaching young men the ins-and-outs of a B-17 bomber.
His most interesting moment in the Air Corps?
"We had a couple of wrecks," Fortune laughed.
While flying a trainer one night, Fortune's engine overheated and he was forced to spend a little time out on the wing while it was still in flight.
"They (the tower) told me to get on the wing and bail," he said. "I said the heck with it; I think I can save the plane."
He did, but what was he going to do on the wing?
"Jump," he said. "Listen, young man, back in those days airplanes only went-120 miles an hour. I could have done it if the plane was low enough to the ground."
Parachutes. We'll get to that.
His love of flying did not end with his honorable discharge in 1946. Almost 50 years later, in 1994, Fortune built and flew his own airplane called "Grandpa's Toy." The yellow and red ultralight is stored at the Lake Clear airport.
"I hope to take it up again," Fortune said.
My sweetheart
Home from leave in 1943, a young Andy married a beautiful Spanish-American girl named Alvera in Vermont.
Were did the two meet? Where else - a funeral.
"She was too beautiful to resist," he said.
Morbid? Not really
In all the years Fortune ran the Church Street funeral home, his two boys, Andy Jr. and Tim, never saw a corpse, except once.
"They came with their class from St. Bernard's School and I let them in," Fortune said. "The janitor had died, and the school kids came over to pay their respects."
Fortune said his sons never became hardened to the business, and that is why, he believes, Andy Jr. (the current director of the funeral home) is so compassionate to his customers.
Finally, at 80 years of age, Fortune got to use a parachute for the first time, but he didn't tell Alvera. She was in Vermont visiting family.
Fortune drove to an airfield in Malone, took a course and jumped twice. He said he loved it so much, he went back the next day.
Not good enough, Fortune said. He wants more.
"They only take you up to maybe 3,500 feet," Fortune complained. "I want to go up 8,000 or 9,000 feet. From that height you fly down. That would be wonderful."
Fortune only needs two more jumps to qualify to jump from those heights.
Alvera was unavailable for comment.
(Editor's note: Alvera Fortune died in March 2005 at the age of 88.)

This is a track from T.I.'s 2006 album "T.I. vs. Tip". It represents how the frustration and pain caused by the death of his friend and the pressures of fame are turning him into more of a gangster. This is shown by the use of an alter ego, Tip. Tip is angrier, and considers T.I. weak. When rapping as Tip, his ATL accent gets stronger and his rhymes get simpler: He is harking back to his days slangin' dope out of Bankhead, when he was usually called Tip.

Your say
Kapil da jawaab?
Gitanjali Dang's article (' Who can net the net?' December 10) is very good food for thought. Communication minister Kapil Sibal's demand for prescreening social media content is not only unwise, impractical and unfeasible but is also blatantly undemocratic, with our freedom of expression being compromised, if implemented. Besides, internet companies and social networking sites have the added responsibility of involving users, their opinions and transforming societies. Such users and sites are vital to how we now perceive the world. Such freedom cannot be snatched away at the behest of a stupid politician.

Neighbourhood bully
I liked the article by Ronojoy Sen (' Making the whole world blind', Comment, December 3). Clearly, Anna Hazare and his team are over-enthusiastic and perhaps jealous of other efforts at coming up with a Jan Lokpal Bill. They expect miracles with a Lokpal. But even in Treta Yuga, there were a lot of rakshasas. To slay them, god descended in the form of a human in his avatar as Sri Rama. In the same manner, there would be some corruption in Kali Yuga as well, even after a Lokpal is appointed. Indeed, Ashis Nandy described Anna perfectly when he said he is like a neighbourhood elder who takes our support for granted.

Developing pains
The debate on FDI in Retail (' Buy or Bye', Cover, December 3) may have been put on hold, but we certainly need to safeguard the interests of domestic retailers before we open the floodgates to affluent international ones. India is still a developing country with a huge dependence on agriculture. The FDI move would have, at the most, helped the upper classes. There is also every chance of Indian farmers getting low prices for produce and consumers paying unwarrantedly high prices for goods, resulting in only intermediaries profiting. To facilitate a few the majority could suffer. The government cannot allow this.

I just hope that all of you that voted against Measure 74 take the time to watch the History Channel presentation of "marijuana a chronic history".
Some of the facts and the figures will just absolutely blow your mind and definitely make you think twice about your no vote. For instance: did you know that marijuana right now today grown in the United States has more cash value than all of our vegetable and grain crops put together? Somewhere in the area of $100 billion a year.
Also did you know that the Declaration of Independence was written on marijuana paper grown at Thomas Jefferson's farm? Boy o boy you people just completely blew it this time. This would have set us up for a HUGE resource for revenue, taxes, jobs, and BIG business for our state. Sometimes this state can't see the forest for the trees!

All products are available including Arnold.
so let me get this straight; We have a company trading at 0.85 times revenue (market cap $85M, sales $100M+), growth in sales over 100% per year (and growing), backing of a successful billionaire (Dr. Frost), interplay with other successful investments from said billionaire (Biozone, Opko), No debt, positive cash flow, reasonable admin and exec expenses (7%), numerous top selling products on the number 1 website for nutritional supplements (Body Building), distribution on the largest online marketplace in the world by far (Amazon), retail distribution at the number 1 wholesale members club (costco), retail distribution at the number one brick and mortar supplement chain (GNC), a new product line with a global icon (no matter how much of "has been" people will claim, Arnold), award winning formulas, hundreds of thousands of followers via social media, a management team with a proven track record in distribution of nutritional based products....There are drawbacks, but I don't see where this stock is not achieving new multiples right now....
Sentiment: Hold
SEC investigation. Need I say more. They will not get uplisted and the stock will have trouble moving up until the investigation is settled.
You guys are all right. Once news comes out on positive eps and sec clearance, this stock will fly. Lets hope that these are sooner than later. It's hard to hold on with other opportunities are slapping your face. Lol.

How to shake a guy that won't commit but also won't leave me alone? (Bonus problem: I really like him)
I've been seeing him for almost 2 months and he has brought up several times that he isn't looking for anything serious.... only then to begin making plans with me to do things months in advance. I figured I'd just suck it up because I really like him and we're very compatible in almost every way and give him time to figure out what's going on in his head.
The final straw for me was a few days ago when he told me his new years resolution was to stop leading me on. I told him I liked him too much to keep hanging out with no hope of it developing into something more serious - I would just be leading myself to a broken heart. I said that if he didn't want anything serious I wasn't going to try to change his mind; I know he's had some rough relationships in the past and it would take more than me begging him to get into a relationship with me to get past them.
This morning, less than 3 days after telling him it was completely over, he texted me something obscure about his day as if nothing had happened. I didn't respond because I didn't want us to fall back into the same casual thing, but I also didn't want to tell him to leave me alone because if he is working things out in his head I don't want to push him away.
Did I do the right thing to ignore his text? Am I doing the right thing in general by telling him I can't see him if he's going to keep saying it will never go anywhere? I need help, I'm so confused by the whole thing because we do have an amazing time together, he's the sweetest guy and took good care of me (rushing over to make me feel better after receiving an awful LSAT score, helping me care for a new tattoo, etc.) and called me for support as soon as he got bad news from an old friend. ??

New Worms title for XBLA
Australia's censors board have let slip a new game this morning, revealing to us that those pesky Worms are once again heading to the Xbox Live Arcade in a new adventure.
Team 17's latest creation will apparently be called Worms Armageddon Decade. Given that it is Microsoft specifically who have applied for certification, it seems likely that this game is rather different from the Worms title also on the way to the PS3's PSN.
Worms, in case you've been living in a small, discarded can of baked beans, is a turn-based strategy game that pits teams of ultra violent 'worms' against one another, using a range of colourful and destructive weapons.
Hopefully we'll have more on this new look Worms game, soon.

Formula 160 vs 161 vs 162
Hello Remi and Starboard Formula Team, i have a big question for you, I see everybody start to race with older Formulas 160 and 161, and anyone or one or 2 guys racing with 162. I am 185 tall, 90 kg and have Vapor 2008 sails 12.0; 11,0 and 10,0 m, now I have for two years the formula 162, but now I don´t know what is the better board for me? I don´t go buy the new ones because is very expensive, but I have the possibility of change my board for a very good 161, could you help me?
best regards
Hi Vchaveca,
At your weight I recommand in your case to choose the 161, but notice that both LWR and HWR will be more efficient on race course.
Hope this help.
All the best
Go for the 161, I did the same and I'am again very happy, that board is a dream !!!

Abreu, Davidson, Danks Go Deep for Sox
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Today's News
The Game
Angels 14 18 0
White Sox 10 14 2
Plays of the Day
Jose Abreu went 3-4 with three RBI, including his second home run of the spring–a two-run blast in the third inning (click on link to top video below)…In the seventh, Matt Davidson cranked a three-run homer, his second round-tripper in Cactus League play (click on link to middle video below)…After slugging a pair of homers yesterday, Jordan Danks added another today, a solo shot in the eighth inning (clink on link to bottom video below). That gives him five this spring…Avi Garcia drove in a run with a single, walked and made a fine throw to second base in the fourth inning to prevent the Angels' Howie Kendrick from stretching a single into a double…Adam Eaton collected a pair of doubles and drove in a run. Adam has reached base safely in 10 of his last 11 games (11 hits, three walks, one hit-by-pitch).
Sox Notes of Note
Prior to today's game, the Sox made the following six roster moves: optioned C Josh Phegley, RHP Andre Rienzo and LHP Eric Surkamp to Class AAA Charlotte and reassigned RHP Chris Beck, INF Andy Wilkins and RHP Cody Winiarski to minor-league camp. With the moves, the White Sox have 38 players remaining in major-league camp: 17 pitchers, three catchers, 12 infielders and six outfielders…Entering today's game, Jordan Danks was tied for the lead in home runs (4), ranked second in runs scored (12) and his .750 slugging percentage was third among American League hitters in Cactus League action. His homer this afternoon just adds to his superb spring stats…Conor Gillaspie has reached base safely in his last 10 CL games and has homered in two of his last three games (three total)…The Sox are honoring members of the Chicago Fire Department and Chicago Police Department for their bravery and service by offering each member two complimentary tickets to one of 15 games at U.S. Cellular Field this season. This is the third consecutive year the team has provided tickets to police officers and the second the offer has been extended to Chicago firefighters. Since the program's inception, the White Sox have provided department members over 40,000 game tickets.
The Wisdom of Bo
Tuesday Night Dinner Review: Rokerij/Richardson's
Sometimes it's not about dinner but your dining companions, and sometimes, it's both. Last night I was able to eat at one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix, Rokerij/Richardson's, with three great "dates," Paul Jensen (a former White Sox PR Director), Art Berke (professor and consultant extraordinaire) and Herm Schneider, the best trainer in the business. In my time in Phoenix for spring training, I've been lucky to find a lot of great restaurants, but Rokerij/Richardson's has not been beaten with its mix of New Mexican cooking, steaks and seafood (I ordered the Chimayo Chicken, pictured below). It's rare to dine there in March and not see table after table of baseball folks, and I make sure to recommend it to any and all. It's not to be missed on your spring training visit to the Valley.
Quote of the Day
"Every day is a good day; some are just better." – Herm, the world's greatest trainer.
Tomorrow's Schedule
Off Day. On Friday, White Sox vs. Cubs at Camelback Ranch-Glendale (3:05 p.m., CT). Sox pitching schedule: LHP John Danks, LHP Scott Downs, RHP Ronald Belisario, LHP David Purcey, LHP Donnie Veal, RHP Maikel Cleto, RHP Matt Lindstrom. Cubs starter: LHP Chris Rusin.

There's a lot but if I had to pick one:
Well, there's four of them but whatevs...
Mine was the game at sac. Blake hit Jumpers late in the 4th to close the gm
I thought it would be a turning point, but it wasn't
i agree 100%. (but if we're including playoffs, its blasphemy to not pick the comeback)
Game 7 win vs Grizzlies, I'll never forget that game.
I'd go for Game one, 1st round of the playoffs comeback. Seriously, that was the first time I actually shed a few tears watching sports. One of the best highlights in my life as a fan of any sport.
Beating the lakers and heat back to back for me.
Regular season, guys.
If regular season only, I gotta go with the game vs Thunder..
The Comeback...! @ Memphis..! I was going ape **** when we came back..!!!!!!!!!! Nvr ever will forget that game.! Wow what a heck of a season guys!!!!
I missed the game 1 comeback against Memphis as I had to work early in the morning and I turned the game off when we were down like 27 points in the 3rd quarter.
I'd have to say #1 moment - winning game 7. I literally was brought to tears. Not because I thought we had a shot at the title, but because it was a sign of bigger things to come and it was a showing that we finally seemed to be on the right path.
#2 - Beating Miami at home. D Wade was a big baby and begged and cried for fouls. We won the game and showed that we were a force by pulling out a stretch of games we won against big teams.
#3 - Griffin destroys Kendrick Perkins
#4-983549234875934 - Chris Pauls ability to win games.
When Kenyon Martin hit the meaningless 3 at the end of the kings game.
Couldn't stop laughing.
no one said this yet....
BOTH DUNKS on pau gasoft!
Mike Smith: "It's a physical GAME!!!"
I literally fell off my couch when I saw that dunk... it will live forever.
Agreed greatest comeback i've ever seen in a basketball game period. All of sports is debatable. It made history. A positive history for the franchise.
Oh, my bad.
Then I'll have choose Game one, 1st round of the playoffs comeback. Seriously, that was the first time I actually shed a few tears watching sports. One of the best highlights in my life as a fan of any sport.
Same as OP. The four 3's in a row vs OKC was pure WIN.
yup, gives me chills every time!
Against the mavs when billups hits the three to win it with 2.5 seconds left.
this is making me miss clipper basketball, and wish it was october.
Aww I agree with the 4 3s I thought I was the only one who got that excited.
The playoffs as a whole. Memorable. And it felt good just to be back in the playoffs.

JACKSON, MI – On March 2, we opened our home to two exchange students as part of the long-running French Back-to-Back program at Jackson Public Schools.
Little did I know that I'd end up opening my heart, as well.
Towards the end of the 2011-2012 school year, our daughter, Elizabeth, brought home a flyer about an informational meeting for French Back-to-Back. "You think we could go?" she asked.
I was somewhat familiar with the program as the Citizen Patriot routinely covers the annual exchange. But reading about it and committing to send my 10-year-old to France without myself, or my husband, Eric, are two different things.
I was terrified. Elizabeth wasn't.
We decided to attend the informational meeting at Frost Elementary School.
There we met teacher Donna Thomas and were given the details on the program and the extent of the commitment we'd have to make.
Elizabeth would need to transfer from Dibble Elementary to Frost, we'd have to come up with $2,000, open our home to a French student, and help raise funds for various field trips.
Elizabeth was all-in. Eric and I needed time to think about it.
We weighed the pros and cons and decided if Elizabeth was willing to commit, we would too. In the fall, we learned we'd be partnering with Courcouronnes, a suburb of Paris, France, and we agreed to host a second girl. There are typically more French students who participate, so doubling up is often necessary.
After months of meetings and prep work, Cindy Lambert, 10, and Anaëlle Picot, 9, arrived on March 4.
Here are some of my key takeaways from their two-week visit:
1. Google translate became my new best friend. The language barrier is challenging, but it's important to keep pushing it. I was pleasantly surprised by how much English our guests picked up and vice versa.
2. French students are a lot like American students when it comes to food. If all else fails, they will eat pizza, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, tacos, breakfast cereal and juice. Lots of juice.
3. It's important to put the candy dish is out of reach and out of sight. We learned this lesson late in the visit, after finding candy wrappers in all corners of the family room.
4. Field trips to places like the Henry Ford Museum and Planet Rock with a large group of American and French students are a blast, but more exhausting than putting in a day at the office.
5. It doesn't take long to get really, really attached to your exchange student.
Next up? Elizabeth heads to France in May. She can't wait. I'm still "a little" terrified.

This time she says the book will be a little more personal, a little more up to date. The last page wasn't finished until early June, so it's fresh "information." "This book is different because I'm different.. said Karrine. "More introspective.. more confident and a whole lot more unapologetic."

Today, I'm catching up on the 2014 Winter Olympics!
I have been so busy the last few days that I have barley had any time to watch the Sochi Olympic games.
In a way, I feel like a gold medal athlete myself -- even though I finished tied for 50th place out of 133 runners at this weekend's Frosty 5k race in beautiful Gaylord.
It was a big accomplishment for me to train since Jan. 1 and then run a 5k race in arctic cold. My official time was 30:49!
In case you have not heard, this year I am trying to lose 20 pounds before my first Michigan's Best search, and to run 14 5ks in 2014.
Paul Beachnau of the Gaylord Tourism Bureau, who very active in the sports of cross-country skiiing and snowshoeing, said running with me this weekend was an inspiration for him to run again. (Listen to our podcast below.)
The truth is, I was inspired by the runners I met -- all had their own inspiring stories!
I met a man who lost more than 100 pounds. A woman who ran with a prosthetic leg. And a new mom who is leading a team of "Biggest Loser"-style contestants. The stories are endless.
That's why I look forward to visiting your communities in the coming year.
One down, and 13 to go!
In the meantime, I wanted to pass along a few thank yous to Paul and the whole Gaylord Tourism Bureau, as well as AlpenFrost Festival volunteers who made it a magical weekend.
I even got on the air on Eagle 101.5 radio to talk about my journey.
And thanks to Bay City Times community engagement specialist Bernie Eng, who I have known since my CMU college days. He came out to run with us to coordinate the photos. He did an awesome job!
After the run I checked out the the Polar Plunge fundraiser for Special Olympics. Make sure you check out my video because I have some actual footage of people jumping into a pool! They look cold. It was only -2 degrees outside.
Later in the day I went snowshoeing with Paul and our running partner Sandra Mattingly of Pine Cone Vacations. We hiked for about an hour on a very hilly slope near the Otsego Club. It was more rigorous than the actual race.
Then, to cap it off, the TreeTops Resort staff put on a great Michigan Beer and Wine Festival, where I got to sample beers from Dark Horse, Bell's, Crankers and Short's -- all Top 10 award winners from my search for Michigan's Best Brewery!
That's better than watching the Olympics on TV.
Thanks again, everyone.
Next race: Paczki Day Run on March 1 in Hamtramck!

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Minnesota Wilderness goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo has made a verbal commitment to play Division I hockey for the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), he first announced on Tuesday afternoon via his Twitter account.
"UMD has everything I was looking for in a school and it's amazing to be a part of this community," Kaskisuo then said in a statement through the team. "UMD had the whole package, I feel like it's the best place for me. It's good to finally get the process over with and now I can focus on the rest of the season."
Kaskisuo is (15-5-0) this season for the Cloquet, Minn.-based Wilderness and has posted a North American Hockey League (NAHL)-best eight shutouts, with his 1.35 goals against average and .948 saves percentage placing him second.
"We are very excited for Kasimir to have an opportunity to continue his career at the Division 1 level and look forward to be able to watch him and have him close to Cloquet," Wilderness head coach Corey Millen said. "Kasimir has a great approach and mentality towards the game and I think that is why he has had success for us."

"Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." (Matthew 7:1-2).
This passage from Scripture does not mean that we are precluded from observing faults in others, but against passing judgement in a spirit of righteousness while not recognizing our own shortcomings. There is a valuable lesson for all in this passage from Matthew -- including Tom Wenzel, who wrote a decidedly demeaning letter to the editor about Regina Brett ("Catholic stand on contraception is rooted in Scripture," March 18). I'm sure that, to many, his points are valid, but all credibility is lost when his argument is made so condescendingly. One only needs to look at the sizes of the families in the pews to realize that either precautions are being taken, or there is something in the water.
To me, one of the key teachings throughout the whole of Scripture is that of humility. There was none in the aforementioned letter. So given the choice of going to a judgmental family room or the cafeteria, would someone please pass me a tray!Mark Carroll, Bay Village

To the Editor,
This summer, the Cranford Public Library conducted its third annual summer reading program for adults. The program, whose theme was "Between the Covers," ran from June 7 through Aug. 14. More than 100 patrons registered as readers and, combined, read or listened to 633 books by 307 different authors. Local businesses A Toute Heure, Brooklyn Pizza, Cheese . . . Please!, Cranford Hotel, Cranford Theatre, Il Gabbiano, La Triestina, Pairings and Rockn' Joe, donated gift certificates that were given away as prizes at weekly raffle drawings, and the Friends of the Cranford Library donated funds to purchase three grand prize gift certificates to the restaurants, Il Gabbiano, The Italian Pantry and Kilkenny House.
The Library would like to thank everyone involved: the patrons as readers, the local businesses that provided the prizes, and the Friends of the Cranford Library. I'd like to extend a special thank you to Judy Neff, head of circulation, and her excellent staff. Without the support of all of these parties, the adult summer reading program would not have been such a wonderful success.

Even though the NHL remains on hold during the lockout, almost 200 players under contract to NHL teams are presently playing hockey in various leagues throughout Europe.
From stars like Joe Thornton and Jaromir Jagr to lesser known players like Dale Weise and Craig Smith, players are keeping in shape and earning at least some money until a settlement can be reached that will return the NHL to action.
Here is a look at the top 20 performances by players under contract to NHL teams in Europe so far this season. Hopefully, this list will be unnecessary before too long. But for now, here's a taste of the best players in the world playing in some other leagues.
