Books for boys celebrated flags, guns, spears and Empire
"As Ned observed the preparations for the execution of his friend, the sweat stood in great drops on his forehead, and he would have given anything to be able to rush to his assistance and to die with him. Had his hands been free, he would without hesitation, snatched up a bow and sent an arrow into Tom's heart to release him from the lingering death which awaited him and he would then have stabbed himself with a spear."
© — Photo reproduced from 'Under Drake's Flag'
"Ned and Tom become masters of the situation" (no surprise there).
So you think entertainment for young people today is all violence? The above segment is from the good old days. It is taken from a run-away bestseller, "Under Drake's Flag," written by that master of thrilling stories for boys, George Alfred Henty (1832-1902).
In their youth, our grandfathers and great-grandfathers turned page after page of violence as their young minds digested the output from Henty's murderous imagination — anything from jungle escapades with wild animals and toxic insects to pirates who left trails of blood across wild, wild oceans.
For the girls, it was different. The adventures encountered by their heroines were never truly daunting. By the mid-20th century, Nancy Drew provided something of an edge when she gently excised criminality from society without herself being adversely affected.
The field of Henty and Horatio Alger (1832-1899) would evolve into that of Franklin W. Dixon (who was actually several writers, and androgynous at that) whose Hardy Boys came up through the 20th century into the 1950s and beyond.
But for Frank and Joe and their weight-challenged friend, Chet, much of the blood had been stanched and buried with Henty and Alger. Dixon's books concentrated (in the midst of mystery solving) on extending much deference to a suit-and-tied father (Mr. Hardy) who worked constantly.
The old sword-and-pistol stories appear to have sold well here. I say "appear" because I cannot prove that. Nevertheless, today, any number of them repose in junk stores. They are not difficult to find. There are thousands available online. The little museum in Petty Harbour has several Hardy Boys books. Not too many years ago, I crept up into an old store's attic in Chester, N.S., and saw hundreds of dust-covered Hentys, Algers and God knows what else, but included were books by Canadian Archer Wallace, who made a somewhat soft-edged contribution to the genre.
A mix of tragedy, some philosophy to put it in perspective and a little mystery to help the reader set aside grief and turn pages is part of the style of old adventure books for youth. This is from Alger's "Sink or Swim":
"On the third day after the body was found, the funeral took place. Harry attended as chief mourner, for his mother was compelled to remain at home on account of illness. But when the funeral was over, other cares forced themselves upon their attention. It is only the rich who can afford to give themselves up unreservedly to the luxury of grief. The poor must rouse themselves to battle for their bread … but Harry was young, healthy and sanguine and his spirits were lighter. 'Whatever we do, Mother,' he said, 'we won't despond. There are many great ways of getting a living and I know that we shall get along somehow.'"
In 1976, I read a magazine article, clipped it, folded it and slipped it into a copy of a shabby old G.A. Henty book which I have never read. The article was all about collecting adventure books, and especially those of Henty.
In part, it said that most antiquarian bookshops keep a few Hentys, but some in particular (it named them — in London) made them their specialty.
More interesting than that was the information that "Henty was so successful — his last 31 titles sold over 150,000 copies each — that his influence around the turn of the century was profound."
In the mid-1970s, rare copies of Henty's books sold for upwards of $100 each. The value of books as collector items depends upon whether they are first editions and also upon the number of copies printed. It's not always easy to determine either.
As an example today, a good first edition of Henty's "Under Drake's Flag,' issued in 1883, is worth about $200 Canadian.
George Henty must have made good money in his day. His competition for the young audience was virtually nil. There was no radio, no television, no movies. Reading, I think it is safe to say, was considered a delightful and eagerly anticipated occupation.
My grandmother once told me that when, as a child, she had learned to write properly, she would spend ages copying out text from books and magazines — only for the pure enjoyment of practicing handwriting. Imagine that in this day of the language of texting.
Another segment of "Under Drake's Drum" will give you some of the flavour of such books in that period. The English were invariably the winners in whatever they undertook, whether it was swimming at night in shark-infested waters or taking on thousands of bloody-minded Spaniards burdened with filthy lucre from the New World.
Not unlike the ever-successful Hardy Boys of the future, Henty's two heroes in this book are youthful, educated, impeccably honourable and with an infallibility to rival the popes of their time.
"When the Spaniards arrived within three or four feet of the top (of the barricade) Ned gave the word and a line of thirty powerful negroes, each armed with a long pike, suddenly arose and with a yell threw themselves over the edge and dashed down upon the Spaniards … the heavily-armed Spaniards fell over each other … the first line of negroes being succeeded by another armed with axes who completed the work which the first line had begun, the slaughter for a minute was terrible.
"For some thirty paces the negroes pursued their advantage and then, at a loud shout from Ned, turned, and with a celerity equal to that of their advance, the whole were back over the barricade before the Spaniards in the rear could awaken from their surprise, and scarcely a shot was fired as the dark figures bounded back into shelter."
Perhaps these books subliminally became part of our conditioning. After all, we did accept without a murmur the properly English solution to our debt crisis in the 1930s and welcome a London-based Commission of Government.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians played the Detroit Tigers in the opener of a four-game series Monday. Here is a capsule look from The Plain Dealer reporter Dennis Manoloff:
Game: 135.
Opponent: Tigers.
Location: Progressive Field, Cleveland.
Time of day: Afternoon.
Time elapsed: 3 hours, 31 minutes.
Attendance: 23,296.
Result: Tigers 12, Indians 1.
Records: Tigers 75-62, Indians 70-65.
Streak snapped: The Indians had won three in a row.
Solace for Cleveland: The Tribe was routed but still leads the season series (7-6).
Motown mashers: The Tigers amassed 20 hits, including five homers. They scored multiple runs in five innings.
Detroit Nos. 3-4 batters Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez combined to go 6-for-8 with three homers, five RBI and six runs.
Klubot malfunction: Indians ace right-hander Corey Kluber allowed five runs on seven hits -- including three homers -- in 2 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out two.
The start was the shortest of the season for Kluber, who threw 57 pitches. He had not exited this quickly since April 2 at Oakland when, in his first outing, he worked 3 1/3.
Kluber (13-9, 2.72 ERA) had given up three runs or fewer in eight straight starts. He allowed five earned runs for just the second time (April 2).
Kluber is 0-3 in his past three starts. The first two of those losses came despite quality starts; against the Tigers, Kluber simply didn't have it.
Kluber had given up one homer in his previous eight starts. He has allowed 14 long balls in 29 starts.
Living up to his end: Tigers lefty and former AL Cy Young Award winner David Price, shaking off an awful performance against the Yankees, handled the Tribe for seven innings. He allowed the run on eight hits, walked two and struck out eight.
On Aug. 27 against the Yankees in Detroit, Price was rocked for eight runs on 12 hits in two-plus innings. The first nine Yankees to bat in the third notched hits before Tigers manager Brad Ausmus hooked Price.
Against the Indians, Price (13-10, 3.25 ERA) overpowered with a high-octane and well-located fastball. Tribe batters periodically swung as if their plane had arrived from Kansas City, Mo., in the middle of the night.
As to what, exactly, resided on the bill of Price's cap -- Twitter was abuzz -- only Price knows for sure. It undoubtedly was nothing. He is too good of a pitcher to rely on anything but natural talent.
Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full: Aircraft from the Cleveland National Airshow buzzed the ballpark in the first inning.
Quick strike: The Tigers took a 2-0 lead three batters into the game. Cabrera, as expected, was the fulcrum.
Ian Kinsler led off with a pop fly to right that drifted away from Mike Aviles, whose face-plant dive came up far short. By the time Aviles recovered and threw to the infield, Kinsler had secured a triple.
Kluber struck out Torii Hunter with a 1-2 cutter off the outside corner. Cabrera stepped in.
Cabrera has been bothered by a sore right ankle, which sidelined him Sunday against the White Sox in Chicago. The ankle had been responsible for a power outage; he hit one homer last month (Aug. 2). No matter: Cabrera could have two bad ankles and two bad wrists and still be productive against the Indians, in general, and Kluber, specifically. In his career against the Tribe ace, he was 15-for-28 with three homers and seven RBI.
Kluber got ahead, 0-1, with a pitch that Cabrera thought was high. The next pitch appeared to be a changeup that didn't get down or inside far enough, and Cabrera whistled it over the left-field wall to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
Cabrera hobbled around the bases. Once in the dugout, Miggy did what Miggy does, calling maximum attention to himself. He preened for, and talked to, the ESPN camera.
Detroit kept pressing. Former Indian Martinez walked and J.D. Martinez singled sharply to left, putting runners at first and second. Nick Castellanos, in a 1-2 count, grounded into a 6-4-3 double play.
Zeke to the rescue: Tigers center fielder Ezequiel Carrera's mistimed jump helped the Tribe answer with a run in the first. With two outs and Michael Brantley on first, Carlos Santana flied high and deep to left-center. If Carrera had remained grounded, he could have made the catch at the wall, but the jump led to the ball bouncing off his glove. Santana was credited with an RBI double.
Detroit chases Kluber: The Tigers, thanks largely to a misplay by Aviles, scored three in the third to make it 5-1.
With two outs, Cabrera hit a first-pitch fly to shallow right. Aviles approached and essentially whiffed on the ball as it dropped for a "single.''
Victor Martinez, down in the count, 0-2, drilled a high fastball into the right-field seats. Former Indian Vic needed approximately five minutes to round the bases -- but that's perfectly acceptable because he is a great hitter and a pro's pro.
J.D. Martinez stayed on a 2-2 fastball and sent it over the right-field wall. After Castellanos singled, Tribe manager Terry Francona signaled for lefty Kyle Crockett.
For the Indians, most of the remainder of the game amounted to a countdown to sleep.
Notable: Aviles exited after three innings because of illness.
Ex-Tribe pride: Third baseman Luis Valbuena hit his 16th homer as the Cubs defeated the Brewers, 4-2.

With the University of Massachusetts football team's season opener at Wisconsin just a little over a week away, I think it's a good time to do a little crowdsourcing and try to predict who will lead the Minutemen in the major statistical categories this year.
Let's start with the offense.
At quarterback, Mike Wegzyn has held down the starting job throughout the offseason and training camp. He hasn't been perfect during practice, but it would take an injury at this point to dislodge him from the first team. Still, nothing is guaranteed in this sport. So, what do you think?
Running back is a trickier position to project for UMass this year. With 2012 workhorse Michael Cox now fighting for a roster spot with the New York Giants, the starting job in Amherst is up for grabs. Currently, presumed starter Jordan Broadnax is dealing with a knee injury, so Stacey Bedell will get the first shot at carrying the load when the season opens. When voting, keep in mind that Minutemen coach Charley Molnar will likely go with a running-back-by-committee approach this season.
UMass' receiving corps is a little more set in stone. Though troubled with some undisclosed ailments, tight end Rob Blanchflower figures to play a prominent role in the offense this year. Tajae Sharpe and Michigan transfer Ricardo Miller will also get their fair share of looks. But will someone else emerge from the group and sneak up on everyone this season?
Thanks for voting! Check back tomorrow for the defensive polls!

As far as tests go, Sunday's season-opening tilt with Utah State is ideal for a Tennessee Volunteers team filled with newcomers.
Though scheduling a mid-major game against the upstart Aggies and dark-horse Heisman Trophy candidate Chuckie Keeton could be considered a "no-win" situation for the Vols, it's actually just the opposite.
This game is exactly what UT needs.
It's enough of a test to where the Vols can't sleepwalk. A victory can give a growing team confidence heading into a grueling, season-long gauntlet.
Also, with Oklahoma and Georgia on the September schedule, lining up against a potentially dynamic offense will help UT prepare more than it would against a pair of cupcakes.
Keeton and his teammates may see the game as a showcase on a national stage that would help put USU on the map. But it's also a coming-out party for a group of Vols intent on erasing a miserable recent stretch of football.
"The one thing about football is it's not what they do, it's what you do," A.J. Johnson told UTSports.com's Brian Rice. "We have to come out focused and worried about us and getting the job done."
With that much inexperience thrust into key roles, UT has plenty of concerns. But there's palpable excitement, too. The practice pads are about to come off. It's finally game week.
Date: Sunday, Aug. 31
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Place: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee
TV: SEC Network
Radio: Vol Network, NewsTalk, Sirius/XM 91
Spread: Tennessee by 6.5 points, according to OddsShark.com.

You may have read or heard some of these before, but like good green vegetables as a food choice, you probably can't get too many of them in your mental diet. I find them refreshing and encouraging, inspiring and amusing. They help me breathe a sigh of relief, and they lighten my load. They free me up when I start wanting to feel sorry for myself. They help put life in perspective. They help prevent whining.

by Bob Millar, April 24 1953
President Eisenhower has now stated that the most important war to fight is against the brute forces of poverty and need. Once again this challenge to mankind is splashed across the front pages of the world.
But pious phrases are not enough. Kind words are no substitute for rice and wheat. There have been too many speeches telling the starving millions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America what the world would like to do for them.
What hope is there that President Eisenhower's pledge will be translated into wheat, rice, cotton, milk, meat and timber? Remember the great flourish of Point Four.
Mr. Truman spoke the same stirring words—and went further—he gave 30 million dollars from the United States Government to start the ball rolling. He hoped that America would enthusiastically take up the challenge.
He expected millions of dollars to flow into world development. But American capitalism left Point Four high and dry. The American bankers did not contribute to building this brave new world.
What President Eisenhower has to conquer, before he can even talk of a new crusade to serve the world's needs, is the fear of peace.
For it won't help the starving twothirds of the world if rearmament is stopped and its place is taken by a world slump. This is no idle threat.
Look what happened a few weeks ago. When the Soviet and Chinese Governments started throwing peace proposals around like Tory promises, the "Malenkov" Depression hit the stock exchanges of the world. Within a few days Wall Street stocks slumped by nearly 4,000 million dollars. There -was an average dropof 35 cents. in the value of each. Shares were thrown around like confetti—not in celebration of peace, but in fear of it.
The same thing happened in London. Munitions shares like Vickers and Rolls Royce slumped. More important, the price of raw materials dropped. Tin fell by £40 a ton, lead by £6 a ton. Rubber reached its lowest price for three years. Even a threat of peace was enough to throw the financial wizards into a flap. Shocking, isn't it! Even the Wall Street Journal protested against this ghoulish view.
"War itself is a terrible thing, but we find more terrible yet the fact that there are men walking about who talk of peace as if it were terrible." Ironically, Chinese, Russian, Hungarian, Rumanian bonds, most of them issued beautifully printed on parchment, had been used to make lampshades, and for papering walls. In the hope of a pay-off their value doubled and trebled. Can you imagine the Soviet triumvirate helping the stock exchange speculators? These are the forces which Eisenhower must control before he can talk of dedicating " . . . the energies, the resources, and the imagination of all peaceful nations to a new kind of War",The Stock Exchange Gazette, in all honesty, said a fortnight ago.
Peace has her problems no less profound than war . . . defence production in the United States and in Great Britain, which has been geared up to a substantial proportion of national effort, cannot be suddenly switched off." Even the staid times lifted her skirts a little and warned that a Korean truce and a general relaxation of world tension " . . . might be disastrous to the rest of the world." If the panic a fortnight ago is anything to go by, the whole world may move from the twilight of war to the gloom of peace. Unless the statesmen of the world can control the Merchants of Death, the world must either go on producing guns, aeroplanes and battleships … or face the danger of a world slump result.

Not a bad idea. With a short top section, there is plenty of room. We actually assembled the top section, rotor plate and the final 10 foot section of tower on the ground before hoisting it up.

Actually, if you mount it the "normal" way, it still ends up resting on the top of the Z truss on the next lower section. It's attached almost literally where the two sections meet.

The ideal is to the the BPL25G, I think it is. I had a short, tapered, top section that came with my tower so I didn't use this. The BPL25G is the flat top plate you mention. It has "ears" on it bent down at 45 degree angles for guy points - very nice. You mount your thrust bearing on this plate and then you put your AS25G at the bottom where it and the next 10 foot top section meet. This is a great solution. No need for a guy bracket on the top section then. I don't have a thrust bearing since I don't have massive antennas. But if you wanted to use a thrust bearing plate at the bottom of your short, tapered top section, then you would need to mount the AS25G lower and then, yes, you would need to hack it up. I would certainly cut the plate, NOT the Z trusses on the tower. The plate will feet in between standard sections as well, but the rotor may not. My Ham IV interferes with the Z trusses as well. But the space at the bottom part of the top section leaves plenty of room. > > With my size 13's I was never a fan of 25G but 45G and 55G with the > above sheme work gud. > > Sure is cool here, cannot wait for the nice weather we get in April when > we go mobile in the Florida QSO Party - by the way that's the 26th and > 27th this year.

DNA Blind Item: Mr Money Bags wants a B-town date
March 4, 2012 bubbles 54246 reads 19 comments
Courtesy: DNA India
This one's about one NRI type of financer Mr Money Bags, whose heavy pockets always ensured that he could at least get to pose with a bevy of top Bollywood beauties, when they would attend the filmi events, he'd organise abroad to host them. But as is with most women, it's usually not hard for the heroines too, to guess, what the big guy is really after. But unaware of his reputation and having committed already, the least they could do is pose for a few pictures before looking for the nearest exit on the pretext of an upcoming shoot. So, while dreams of having candle-light dinners with the Bollywood heroines is still a fantasy for him, he's not giving up yet. And all those who've had the chance to visit his rather Bollywoodian house in the UK, reveal how the walls of his house are adorned with pictures of him posing with several Bollywood heroines. Unfortunately, the only ones who seem to fall for his powerful connections with the heroines are aspiring starlets, whom he promises to make as big as the heroines in the photographs. Mr Money Bags in the meantime is not complaining — after all, a bird in hand is better than two in the pic.

Venerable Cornelius the Abbot of Komel, Vologda
Saint Cornelius of Komel was descended from the boyar (noble) family Kriukov. His brother Lukian served at the court of the Great Prince of Moscow. When Lukian, who was getting old, decided to go to the monastery of St Cyril of White Lake, he was followed by Cornelius, who longed for the solitary life from a young age.
After he was tonsured, the young Cornelius began his monastic endeavors with a difficult obedience: he wore heavy chains in the bakery. In his spare time he occupied himself with copying church books. Because of his love for solitude, St Cornelius later left the White Lake monastery, and he visited Rostov.
At Novgorod, St Gennadius (December 4) attempted to hold on to him, but the ascetic settled in a desolate spot near Novgorod. When people began to visit here also, he moved to the Tver Sabbatiev wilderness monastery. Later, in 1497, he settled in the Komel forest, not far from Vologda, where he built a cell. Monks began to gather around the cell of St Cornelius. In 1501 he built a wooden church in honor of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. In that year Metropolitan Simon ordained him as hieromonk.
In 1512, when the number of brethren had grown, the saint built a stone church and he compiled a Rule for the brethren, based on the Rules of Sts Joseph of Volokolamsk and Nilus of Sora. This was the third monastic Rule written by Russian saints.
St Cornelius of Komel was distinguished by his charity toward the unfortunate, and during a famine he built an orphanage in the monastery courtyard. Because of his love for the poor and orphaned, St Cornelius was often granted visions of St Anthony the Great (January 17), for whom he had a special reverence. He constructed a church at his monastery in honor of this great ascetic.
The saint's strictness of life provoked some of the brethren to grumbling, and St Cornelius was compelled to leave the monastery. He settled at Lake Sursk, 70 versts from his monastery. At times he also lived at the Trinity-Sergiev Lavra. Interceding for the monks of the Korniliev monastery, Great Prince Basil Ivanovich urged the saint to return to his own monastery. The ascetic gave in, and having returned to his own monastery, he transferred its guidance to his disciple Laurence and shut himself in his cell.
During a Tatar incursion into the Vologda region St Cornelius went with them to the outskirts of White Lake. The saint died at the age of eighty-two on May 19, 1537. Many disciples of St Cornelius were also glorified for their holiness of life, Sts Gennadius of Liubimograd (January 23), Cyril of New Lake (February 4), Herodion of Iloezersk (September 28), Adrian of Poshekhonye (March 5), Laurence and Cassian of Komel (May 16).
The commemoration of St Cornelius (May 19) was established on January 25, 1600 by Patriarch Job and a council of bishops. The Life of the saint was written by his disciple Nathaniel in the year 1589. There is a service and an encomium to the saint, and the Rule of St Cornelius has been preserved.

HOLLY, MI – Togetherness is what make's Holly's team so special. The girls aren't super flashy with cat quickness and crazy athleticism they just simply play as a team and get the job done.
Coach David Hall said he couldn't ask for a better group of girls.
Watching the Bronchos girls basketball team perform is seeing fundamental basketball played at its finest. They dive for loose balls, play defense and control the tempo. That style isn't always fun to watch but it's certainly effective and racks up wins.
Like any other girls varsity team, Holly makes mistakes but it's their pose that stood out to me the most in the team's 10th straight victory over Fenton in MLive.com's statewide Game of the Week. Holly won 37-31 and outscored Fenton 14-11 in the last quarter.
After a minor lapse at the beginning of the fourth, when Holly squandered its seven-point lead in the third to trade one-point leads, the Bronchos began to click after Kaitlyn Smith's 3-pointer at 4:26 gave them the lead for the rest of the game. Holly is portrayed as a one-woman team with Cleveland State signee Allyssa Copley running the show alone but you won't understand the value of Smith and others like freshman Paige Reid until you see them on the court.
Coplay is no Michael Jackson and Holly isn't the Jackson Five, it's more of a collective group with everyone contributing. Copley is definitely the team's best player, though, and there's no denying that. She got off to a fast start in the beginning with seven first quarter points and nine at halftime but cooled down in the second half scoring the rest of her points at the free throw line. Copley ended with 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists. She shot 4-for-8 from the field.
Prior to the Fenton game, Hall called Copley the ultimate fantasy league player because she fills the stat sheet in so many different categories on any given night. What impressed me the most was seeing her draw a foul after pushing the ball the full length of the court on a play in the first half against Fenton which is very rare for a 6-foot-1 girl on varsity level in high school. You won't see that too often from a player her size.
Smith and Reid saved their best plays for crunch time when big shots were needed the most. Smith dropped a bomb with her 3-pointer from the top of the key in the fourth which set it up for Reid's big shot from the corner that hung on the rim before falling on the next possession at 2:56. Those were big time shots and for those girls to have the confidence to take them says a lot about their roles on the team. Copley is Holly's biggest star but Smith and Reid's role on the team is just as important and many others contributed as well.
Holly isn't highly touted around the state like Goodrich or Flint Powers, and I'm not saying that Holly deserves to be in that category by any means, but you don't get to be 10-0 by accident.
The Bronchos are doing something right and they seem to be on their way to winning a Metro League championship and making some noise in the state playoffs. This is one of Coach Hall's best teams at Holly in a long time.

This beat has many elements. First half of the verse has a simple but hypnotic piano melody. Half way through the verse it changes up a bit with some soft guitar. The beat really shines on the hook when it comes all out with synth, bells, piano, etc..

Can food get any more local than maple syrup – a product from trees that live here as long as we do?
Probably not. So if you want to know a little more, and get a sweet taste of the action, hop into your car for Maple Madness this weekend and next.
The drive-yourself tour will take you to private homes and large commercial operations, pancake breakfasts and ice cream treats. It could have you hauling sap buckets and listening to acoustic music.
You might even hear stories from syrup's history, including its relationship to the first generation of Life Savers candy.
The tour could take you all over the state, but the epicenter of activity is in Geauga and some of its contiguous counties -- Lake, Ashtabula, Trumbull and Portage.
If you love pancake breakfasts, several of the events will stack 'em high for you.
Today (March 9), Camp Whitewood in Ashtabula County's Windsor Township will have pancakes, sugar house tours, maple desserts from Loretta Paganini's School of Cooking and a Maple Mercantile selling everything from syrup to maple-flavored dog bones.
Not on the tour is a Sunday pancake breakfast operation in Shalersville which has been running 31 years and starts a three-week run tomorrow, March 10.

Forest Grove police and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission conducted compliance checks at 14 businesses during the weekend, and three were found in violation, the police department said.
Capt. Mike Herb, a department spokesman, said police worked with Hillsboro Police cadets during the mission. An underage cadet reportedly went into each establishment to see whether minors could get served.
Herb said employees at the three businesses that were not in compliance were cited on an accusation of furnishing alcohol to a minor. The businesses, he said, were: Jade Green Palace, My Place Tavern and Mama Gia's.
The sting, he said, was part of a county-wide effort to reduce youth alcohol abuse.

Until last week, Kim J. Coonan was on his way to being re-elected Bay County's 6th District commissioner without opposition.
Now he faces write-in challenger David A. Stanley, who says he was outraged to hear Coonan - along with six other commissioners - voted himself a pay raise last month.
"I'm running more to make a difference, not a living," said Stanley, owner of Michigan Waterfall Co., a home-based business at 1212 Joseph St. on Bay City's West Side.
Coonan, a retired Bay City electric department supervisor, is confident voters who have supported him in the past three elections will keep him in office another term. He acknowledges he's taken a lot of flak since voting against a pay freeze on Sept. 30.
"For $200, you take a hell of a lot of grief," he said, adding that he doesn't do the job for the money. "I enjoy public service."
According to a Times analysis, Coonan earned $18,266 as a county commissioner last year, while he spent 53.6 hours in public meetings. He said he puts in a lot of time behind the scenes on county issues.
"I put a lot of time into running county government from the jail system to the health department, so it does require a lot of time and I've put forth the time," he said.
Since filing last week, Stanley has been busy making up signs and getting fliers printed. He plans to run a door-to-door campaign.
"I just want to go out and let people know it's time for some changes," he said. "I want to prioritize things more at the county level. There's a lot of money being worked with and I feel that things aren't prioritized quite right."
Stanley vows not to accept more than the $12,419 base salary given to commissioners, and possibly health insurance. He says he would donate extra pay or perks to charity, possibly to a police and fire association.
"I want to really cut back and be more efficient with our money, rather than just keep asking people for more and more," he said, adding his belief that the area's high tax rate is driving people out of town.
Coonan says he'll continue efforts to improve recreation, tourism and economic development. In recent years, he has earned a reputation as Bay County's beach crusader, privately raising more than $30,000 to clean up local shores with the help of others.
Coonan considers the beachfront at the Bay City State Recreation Area the "most underutilized resource" in Bay County. He's organizing two more "Beach Wellness" fundraisers for next spring and has been working with state and federal regulatory agencies on a new system to filter muck and algae from the near-shore waters.
"We're going to draw young people - healthy people, educated people - onto the beach," Coonan said of efforts to promote events like beach volleyball tournaments.
Coonan said he's still opposed to the Bay Health Plan tax proposal that will be on Tuesday's ballot. He says it does nothing to lower health care costs.
"I've had a handful of people call me and say, 'Should I vote for this?' They say, 'Will I be covered?' And I say, 'I have no idea,'" Coonan said, adding that proponents of the plan haven't been forthcoming with facts.
"I've always been an advocate for universal health care - everybody pays, everybody's covered," Coonan added. "We need to fight together to reform health care to reduce the costs and reform the way it's funded."
Coonan said he isn't as opposed to downtown development authorities as some city officials make him out to be.
"I think DDAs are fine, but I don't think they should run in perpetuity," he said. "I support downtowns, I support urban living, I support bringing young people into the community."
As a write-in candidate, Stanley's name will not appear on Tuesday's ballot. Those preferring to vote for him will have to write in his name on the blank line under Coonan's name and shade in the corresponding oval.

Syracuse, N.Y. — At this rate, all of us are going to have to deal with the potential for fraud as a result of a retail data breach.
First it was Target and its announcement of a breach involving 40 million debit and credit cards and the personal information of 70 million customers. Then it was Neiman Marcus.
And apparently there are other, yet unnamed retailers affected by the string of attacks, according to Reuters.
All that begs the question: If you're affected, what should you do? Or better yet, what should you be doing to stay secure before a breach occurs?
Tips from the experts:
Cancel your cards. If you think one of your cards was involved in a breach, don't wait to cancel, said John Walp, administrative vice president of information security at M&T Bank. Get new cards and PINs as soon as possible.
"If a card has been compromised, the longer it sits out there, the more chance there is that it might be used for fraudulent purposes," he said.
Check your credit report. Do it at least once a year. Do it more often if you're keeping an eye out for fraud.
Look for any accounts you don't recognize. If there's something that doesn't look right, reach out to the company involved, your bank and the credit monitoring firms to let them know what's happening.
And make sure you close old credit card accounts you don't use anymore. The fewer cards you have, the lower the odds you'll get hit with fraud, Walp said.
Take advantage of alert services. Plenty of banks and credit card companies will send you an email or a text message if they detect potentially fraudulent activity on your accounts.
Also, check your online credit card and bank statements regularly, said Ken Major, information security officer at AmeriCU Credit Union.
"We live in a day and age where you don't have to wait for mailings and statements," he said.
Limit your exposure. Consider using one specific credit card with a low credit limit for things like online purchases, Walp said.
And be careful about where you conduct sensitive business. It's best to stick to a single device and a trusted Internet connection for financial transactions, Major said.
The free WiFi network at Starbucks is probably not the best place to shop or pay your bills.
Make sure your passwords are secure. Hopefully this goes without saying, but don't use passwords like 12345678, your kids' birthdays or the word "password."
Your passwords should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters and special characters like dollar signs and ampersands, Major said. You should consider changing them regularly as well.
Don't use the same password for multiple sites and don't store your passwords on a Post-it note stuck to your monitor.
There are plenty of apps that can help consumers manage multiple passwords, Major said. Password Safe is good place to start.

I hear you loud and clear. I was a MySpace friend with a screenplay writer who was present at the initial screening of Prince Caspian. The makers asked the representatives of C.S. Lewis' estate what they thought. Nice movie, but you completely missed the point of the story.
Yes, that is infuriating. I find it's best to watch the movie first, read the book after. Somehow, it rarely disappoints in that direction. I've been meaning to read The Bourne Identity just because I've heard they completely turned the story upside-down in the movie. I found the movies OK, but action thrillers usually strain my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point. I try not to consciously look for the unrealities, but as soon as I start thinking, they lose me. I loved Red on the other hand, because it was deliberately laughing at the absurdities. Ditto for The Last Action Hero.

DiNapoli: NYC DOE Makes Great Strides in Children's Nutrition
The New York City Department of Education (DoE) has made significant progress in correcting deficiencies in the DoE's Office of School Food, which administers the School Meals Program, according to a report released by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The report follows up a June 2009 DiNapoli audit which found that school food was contributing to childhood obesity.
"Selling junk food to kids on school grounds, when the state's childhood obesity rate is over 25 percent, isn't the best way to help kids stay healthy," DiNapoli said. "DoE is doing a good job implementing my audit's findings and improving the health of city students. It's a first step toward a healthier New York City."
Last year's audit found that junk food was routinely sold in city schools, undermining efforts to promote healthy eating habits among students. DiNapoli's auditors found that school stores and vending machines at 20 of the 30 city schools visited sold candy, soda and other unhealthy snacks during lunch periods in direct violation of the Chancellor's policies.
The audit recommended that DoE take action to immediately stop the sale of competitive foods in school stores and vending machines prior to the end of the last school lunch period. The audit recommended that DoE provide better oversight regarding the types of food sold at school stores and in vending machines. The audit also made recommendations aimed at improving DoE oversight and school compliance with required policies.
In implementing DiNapoli's recommendations, the DoE:

Alabama's offensive line will be without center Ryan Kelly for the remainder of its game against Ole Miss.The Alabama radio broadcast team reported that Kelly, the sophomore starter for the Tide, left the game with a knee injury in the second quarter. After being examined by doctors, Kelly was reportedly declared out for the rest of the game.
Kelly was replaced by backup Chad Lindsay, a junior who has seen minimal action for the Tide in his career.
ESPN reported that doctors were testing Kelly's ligaments in the locker room. Kelly suffered a torn ACL in 2010, his senior season at Lakota West High School in West Chester, Ohio.

By: Dr. M.Ugas
When I read Muktar M. Omer's article of "ONLF: Time for Admiral Osman to Go" on Wardernews on Feb 13, 2012, I decided to enlighten the young writers with the right parameters to measure the progress of any liberation struggle. But, sadly Wardheernews.com refused to publish my article, because my views did not match what they are meant to.
The author started his paper saying "I am only trying to salvage the struggle, not to weaken it" That could in fact be a good intention, but after reading the result of his analysis, many innocent people may think that he made a profound research on the subject he judged and his intentions were good. However, there are many insights that the writer indispensably needed to consider before evaluating the kind of progress a liberation front may make or may be expected. There are a number of parameters that he hasn't used to determine the growth of ONLF and whether they are making progress or not. There are scores of yardsticks that could be employed to quantify the progress of such a kind of entity and some of the parameter may have a good deal of weight than others, while many indicators of success may have less than one percent weight. The reason that compelled me to comment on Mukhtar's judgment is that several people may not search the reliability of the result of his analysis, because if the reliability of his finding is very low, his whole message will be discredited.
Quoting again the writers statements, he said "We cannot fault the ONLF leadership for their efforts. They tried their best. But, in the end, we judge them by their results, not by their efforts". As a rule of the thumb that is common sense to attract the attention of the readers, and I will agree with you to use this as a concluding balance for our final judgement.
I do not mean to defend ONLF or the Admiral, but just for the common good, to edify the writer of this article a superior message that would help him in the future to make a fine judgement before he tries to evaluate and analyse such a kind of complex organisation that consist of social, political, military, diplomatic, environmental as well as historical anecdote. I would like to coach the young writer the right parameters that he must have used by disproving his findings as shown in the following statements:
In liberation struggles, survival is tolerable as a benchmark of success only in the battlefields, faced against a mightier adversary. A liberation front, fighting for a just cause, cannot be expected to be content with survival for more than two decades. It must make progress; it must win new allies; it must broaden its support base. Far from achieving this, the ONLF is stagnating. There is no single idea, strategy or support base that has joined the Front for over a decade.
As I said before, there is one immense inaccuracy the writer made. He used off beam parameters to measure the development that a liberation struggle could be expected to compose. While the writer was making this analysis, he completely ignored that at this very moment, the most inhuman acts of barbarism and cannibalism are being perpetrated in Ogaden by the criminal Neo-Nazi Abyssinian thugs of the tyrant Meles Zenawi, using Janjawit-like militia they named Liyu-police as death squads who shamelessly impersonate the only force. Hence the writer put his emphasis on his mere subjective judgment of what he did not have a handle on it very much.
In order to measure the success of any liberation organisation, the young writer should have used the following indicators of success: The mission of the organisation; the impression of the world towards the fighting organisation; the power of the occupying regime or government whatever you call it over the liberation organisation; the support of the people in the region to the organisation; the military might of the struggle; the organization's allies; and the political flexibility of the struggle; These are only seven of the ten important factors that we can measure the nature of advancement a liberation struggle could make. The other three are exceptionally very internal and only insiders can understand and measure them. But, idle people like my friend Mukhtar and I cannot assess them without further in-depth investigation.
Those questions could be subjectively answered, but it may be biased to put them qualitatively in a categorized way if we simply measure the outcome as less or more, small or big, good or bad. On the other hand, one requires to have their original numbers when one has to quantify their current numbers. Mukhtar doesn't seem to have all these in hand when he started writing his inoperative speech. Let me shed some light on these seven factors:
What was the mission of ONLF? The answer is freedom, and freedom cannot come overnight. Abwan Dhodan has perfectly answered in one of his poems, by saying "ninkii ilo biyo leh moodayoow waa ban omana ahe" literally meaning that "those who think freedom is spring of water is not true but rather waterless prairies". One can then ask if ONLF is on the right track of making Ogaden free or not. Before one rushes answering it, let him/her read the answers to the other parameters.
What is the impression of the world towards ONLF? Before 1990s, the world was divided on the issue of defining the basket of a liberation organisation. But, now the matter is based on historical and factual points and how the actions of any freedom fighter could be aligned with their missions and the kind of human rights violations they are making. There is no doubt that the world knows very much that the Ogaden liberation struggle is the pioneers of the Somali nationalism in the Horn of Africa. The world welcomes the struggle in many official and unofficial meetings. The world hasn't labelled ONLF as a terrorist organisation. Let alone anything else, European Union has finally reached a stage to ticket the EPRDF regime to be terrorists after Ethiopia openly refused the UN-Fact finding mission of 2008 after Obole to be published. The international media, especially the most prominent scholarly magazines, such as New York Times, Washington Post, News Week, the Economist, Al-Sharqil Awsat, etc regularly write articles and findings of the gloomy situation of the Somalis in the Ogaden and document how genuine the war of ONLF is. There is no disbelief that you have heard how heroically the world journalists are trying to visit the Ogaden and how they risk their precious lives to expose how Somalis are oppressed in the Ogaden. The congress of the United States government which was a great ally of Ethiopia ultimately passed Bill C-2003 to press Ethiopia to stop oppression in the Ogaden. In the history of Ogaden, it is the first time that there are more than 60 MPs (member of parliaments) throughout the world, who are openly advocating within and outside their areas of influences for the freedom of the Ogaden. There are more than 25 international Universities that the young patrons of the struggle hold enlightenments every year. These are all successes that ONLF is to be accredited to under the leadership of Admiral M.O.Osman.
What is the power of the occupying regime or government whatever you call it over the liberation organisation? The writer may not be sentient of the reason Ethiopia has been occupying the Ogaden. As witnessed by many, there are over 80 million Ethiopians in the highland whose land is completely dead. The situation in the highland is already unsustainable, and parts of the area are in a Malthusian trap with poor farmers eating up the land, with soil degradation and soil losses due to deforestation. The Ogaden region is the only region that is rich in natural resources, rivers, creeks, streams, cultivable valleys, rangeland, livestock, gas, petroleum, frank cense, you name it. Ethiopia is not able and will not be able to exploit the natural resources in the Ogaden. In all the federal states of the world, the property rights and natural resources belong to the provinces or states, while Article 40 of the new Ethiopian constitution endorses that the natural resources is the sole responsibility of the federal government. This means that, the state or provincial governments does not have any articulation over any natural resource exploited from their very own land. If ONLF clogged Ethiopia from fulfilling this flawed article, isn't this a progress made by ONLF?
What is the support of the people in the region to ONLF? You can measure the progress on this point from different perspectives. Remember the number of social organisations that existed in the past which support the cause. Under the mandate of ONLF offices in the abroad, there are more than five social organisations which are officially registered in every country that support the struggle. The struggle is run by forces with the full support of those who trust the organisation. This is in fact an immense achievement and very significant progress that ONLF made so far.
What is the military might of ONLF struggle? Remember the days when EPRDF used to instigate the local clansmen to fight for minor issues by arming both sides in conflict; the last one being the battle of Ali Hassan and Huwan around Abaqorow where more than 240 innocent young men died from both sides in 1996. Later on, when EPRDF got tired of making this type of unsuccessful inspirations, they created Janjawit-like militia they named Liyu-police to create hatred among the clans and try to force them to tussle against one other. What caused these fights to stop since Abaqorow? Anyone who knows the reality on the ground knows the answer. ONLF is there to intervene the hostility on the spot, and at times unarm the local clansmen when the skirmishing is about to occur. It is indeed an enormous accomplishment that the local people are very proud of their own struggle. Can you speculate how influential ONLF military might is in forcing the local people to bring to a halt burning of trees for charcoal? ONLF controls almost all the rural areas in the Ogaden and no one can deny it.
Has ONLF won allies? The other opposition groups in Ethiopia have all become futile and are not very much dissimilar from EPRDF. For instance, the mission of Amhara is to swap Tigrai as if their belongings were over taken by a minority group. The Oromo is divided into countless small groups with no direction. Sidama is not dreadfully active currently and not trying to be free or overhaul the power from Tigrai. These are the four important opposition groups which exist by name. None of them are fighting for freedom and yet, ONLF is in good term with all of them so far. No meeting takes place anywhere without the presence of ONLF.
Does ONLF have political flexibility? So long as there is an intellectual opportunism in Ethiopia, which is understood as a sign of lack of integrity or intellectual shallowness, to the extent that the opportunist is not concerned with the worth of the ideas in themselves, but only with how one can benefit from them, ONLF would opt to continue the struggle as usual and would not waste time with mere traps that does not match its mission. ONLF is flexible politically and has been asking the world to finish the matter on the table where the international community is present.
Anyway, the tyranny in Ogaden has taken the form of a large scale genocide carried out against seven millions of subjugated and dehumanized Somalis, who are deprived of water, food, life and hope. Killing for the purpose to kill is the order given by the monstrous dictator Zenawi to his new slaves in the Ogaden who are indulged to continue their cruel acts. The struggle for dignity and humanity, freedom and rights from the hell named 'Ethiopia', will stand to reason.
If Mukhtar labelled the Ogaden struggle to be fruitless, can he tell us who else is standing up to fight? Anyway, let us be optimistic and try to make good judgement on these kinds of sensitive issues that their realities are known by all Somalis, hoping that Mukhtar will benefit a lot from the kind of analysis I made and in the future would be very cautious not to hustle things that he did not comprehend much.

So now we're back to making sure you don't put down your knapsack or briefcase and walk away. Do so, and they're shutting down the roads and emptying stores in Mandeville.
I think the post office employee acted correctly in every aspect here. People are paranoid with good reason. In Washington, we've got ricin letters apparently headed to Congress and the White House.
Where do these lines get drawn? Jazzfest is an event that has been talked about quite a bit in the aftermath of the Boston attack. How long are you willing to stand in line to get into the Fairgrounds?
Obviously there is a point at which fear becomes silly. Furthermore, in the United States we're supposed to be able to move about free from such intrusive authority. But I can't say I have an easy answer to how much is too much, even though we all know more and more will seem like too much the further we get from a terrorist incident.
If you've got answers, I'd like to hear them. If you've got thoughts on this or any other topic, post them as a comment and I'll be here around 12 noon Thursday to discuss them.
