Freeland sewers may top $9 million
The price tag for sewers in Freeland's commercial core could hit $9.4 million, and monthly bills for customers may be the highest on Whidbey Island, according to preliminary cost estimates.
Gray & Osborne, Inc., a Seattle-based engineering company hired by the Freeland Water and Sewer District, recently presented a report to district commissioners that broke down cost estimates for different scopes of the proposal, along with monthly charges that would fund maintenance and operation of a new sewer treatment facility. The report calculated a total project cost of between $8.7 and $9.4 million, and monthly use charges of $78 or $97.
The difference between the estimates are based on the possibility of the Main Street Sewer District merging with its larger Freeland counterpart.
Hoping to pay for the bulk of the project with grant funding, Freeland district leaders said they were satisfied with the estimates, and cited the monthly charges as fair.
"I feel it's reasonable," said Lou Malzone, president of the district's board of commissioners.
The monthly charges, which are the base rate for a single equivalent residential unit [ERU] — about 6,000 gallons a month — were also estimated on the high end, according to Andy Campbell, district manager. In other words, it's very possible the cost would be significantly lower once the final numbers are hammered out.
"It's a very conservative estimate, so it could be a lot less," Campbell said.
Happy to pay a premium
As it stands now, however, the estimated user charges would be among the most expensive on Whidbey Island. A comparison by the South Whidbey Record found that $97 would top bills for the same amount of use — 6,000 gallons per month — in Langley [$61], Coupeville [$48] and Oak Harbor [$89]. Even the lower rung estimate of $78, the cost if the Freeland and Main Street districts merged, would exceed all but Oak Harbor's rate.
Those monthly charges would pay only for regular maintenance and operation. An estimated 81 property owners in the commercial core would have to split whatever is left over of the total project cost that isn't paid for with grant money.
Despite the higher rates and a long-term construction bill, few have come forward to publicly condemn this latest machination for Freeland sewers. Many seem either supportive, or have yet to make up their minds.
Steve Myres, a commercial property owner on Harbor Avenue, said he's always been in favor of sewers and that it's a project decades overdue.
"I've been wanting sewers in this town for a very long time," he said.
Myres said he is happy the current commissioners, two of whom — Malzone and Commissioner Marilynn Abrahamson — were adamantly against a 2010 $40 million version that would have sewered the greater Freeland area, have taken on what has been an unpopular and controversial infrastructure project in the past.
Myres added that paying a premium for monthly sewer service would be of little consequence when faced with more expensive alternatives.
"When you look at the cost of replacement [of a septic system], $100 a month is a non-starter," Myres said.
Another Freeland commercial property owner, Jim Porter, is still on the fence. He said sewers could result in many positives for the area, such as improved water quality and stirring economic development, and those can't be ignored, but he'll see little direct benefit. For him and many others, it's going to come down to one thing — dollars and cents.
"The first thing is, what's it going to cost," Porter said.
Project funding options
Knowing how much sewers will cost individual property owners won't be known for some time as it's dependent on how much of the project is paid for with grants. The district has more than $3 million already squirreled away from a past grant, but it expires next year, which puts the project under a time crunch.
Myres complained that the district has already had to return over $5 million from earlier grants, and he worries this will be lost too if the project doesn't make the deadline.
According to Malzone, there's still time and he also hopes to hit up Island County for an earlier promise to provide $100,000 per year for the next 20 years. Combined with additional grant funding possibilities, he's hopeful only a small portion of the bill will be left for Freeland property owners to pick up.
Whatever that number is, the tab would be applied only to those within the commercial core boundaries, an area stretching from Windermere to the intersection of Main Street and Highway 525. It would not be split evenly, but would be based on the special benefit earned by individual property owners.
For example, some property owners might pay more because sewers would turn their drain fields into valuable commercial property that could be developed, while people such as Porter, who has a drain field so close to the highway that it can never be developed, might pay less.
That bill would be applied over a period of decades, and may be paid for through the creation of a local improvement district, or LID. They can be created by vote of the Freeland commissioners or by petition of affected landowners. Malzone said he would only support the latter. He believes in the project, but this is a decision that must be made by those who will foot the bill.
"I can do it by law, but I ran on a platform that I would not do that," Malzone said.
"It's up to the property owners," he added.
More hurdles ahead?
That's something of a matter of opinion, however, as county officials say state law may be less accommodating. In a June 18 letter to the water commissioners, Brad Johnson, a senior planner with Island County Community Development, called the district's plan "unacceptable."
"... the proposed amendments do not prescribe a plan for achieving comprehensive, UGA [urban growth area] wide sewer service within a 20-year period; rather, the proposed amendments would break the proposed sewer plan into five phases and construct only the first phase over a 20-year period," Johnson wrote. "This phasing plan is unacceptable."
The Freeland water district already has a sewer plan in place, adopted in 2005. It was amended in 2010 — the $40 million plan — and district commissioners hope now to amend that proposal again detailing the construction of sewers in just the commercial core.
Johnson and department Director David Wechner maintain that such a modification leaves out residential areas that the Growth Management Act of 1990, landmark legislation that guides modern development, say must be included.
"So when do these happen," said Wechner, of nearby residential areas. "That's the question."
"The problem is one of timing," he added.
But Malzone interprets the act differently, saying it doesn't require the commissioners to take action, only make plans. The district must have a written document outlining a way to build sewers, but it doesn't have to force anyone to pay for it.
"We're required to plan for growth and that's what we're doing," Malzone said.
Similarly, Gray & Osborne project engineer Eric Nutting said the district and county can "sit around and wink at each other and say, 'We'll do it all in 20 years,' " but this proposal is a realistic way of taking the first step, which is the most difficult.
"What we need to do is start; that's the hardest part," Nutting said.
Johnson said the state's rules exist for a reason, and that's to ensure adequate services and infrastructure are in place to support developed areas.
"It would all be pretty absurd if it were just about creating plans," Johnson said.
County officials contend that despite the water district's autonomy, the Freeland urban growth area is part of rural Island County, which makes the county ultimately responsible for appropriate growth.
"We're the ones who get the enforcement order," Wechner said.
The department has other concerns about the proposals meshing with existing long-range county planning documents, such as the comprehensive plan and Freeland sub-area plan. They all need to be consistent. Finally, planners have technical concerns about the district's plans to site a treatment plant on the same property that's home to the district's primary wells on the south side of Highway 525, across from Harbor Avenue. Wechner and Johnson said discharge plans for the property have yet to be made clear to the planning department.
Despite the county's numerous concerns, Wechner, Johnson and district leaders are all hopeful the issues can be resolved through collaborative discussion. A private meeting between the parties, including Gray & Osborn engineers, has been set for next week.

Veteran recalls days as POW
EAST RICHLAND — "I really can't take credit myself," Sherwood "Sam" Yocum, a World War II veteran and prisoner of war, modestly recounts. "I happened to be part of it, but the real heroes are still over there."
Yocum is a spunky 90 year old resident at Cumberland Pointe Health and Rehabilitation now, but in March 1943 he trained in a field artillery unit then enlisted in the United States Air Force. He wanted to be a pilot, but before he could complete that training in San Antonio the Germans downed 200 planes, and he was one of 2,000 soldiers shipped out immediately to replace those troops. After preparations in the Azores Islands, North Africa and Italy Yocum became a ball turret gunner for his crew of 10 with targets in Czechoslovakia.
Returning after the mission, fighter planes attacked over Austria. Yocum's plane was hit, and gasoline spread all over the turret, catching fire. He and the pilot jumped. The plane exploded.
"As I was burying my 'chute, a guy came up behind me holding a pistol," Yocum remembers. "He was nervous, but that was it. He caught me. As we walked to the village I saw my pilot carrying his parachute. They got him, too."
His journey as a POW began in a village schoolhouse. They were put on a train to Vienna where they de-boarded and walked along the Danube River. On the way nuns from a local convent fed the soldiers barley soup, and the group moved on to Frankfurt, then to Stalag 4, a prison camp in Poland where he met Americans, Brits and Canadians. Later they would march the prisoners from there to Hamburg to Stalag 1 on the Baltic Sea.
Yocum talks about one parcel from the Red Cross having to last two weeks for two people. Each prisoner was given one blanket, and they slept in the snow, three men having to huddle together to combine their blankets. He brushed his teeth with Baltic Sea sand.
Yocum's full story is included in volume four of "Marshall County Patriots and Heroes" honoring men and women who have served in the military. Author Gary Rider, a retired John Marshall High School teacher, says the book project began years ago as an assignment in his Social Studies classes. In "America Goes to War," Rider directed students to write essays on family members who were veterans.
"The students came in with these extraordinary stories," he notes. "They found it eye opening."
He joked with students about their seeing the stories in a future book, but began pursuing publication when he realized that veterans from World War II and the Korean War were passing away daily, and their eye witness accounts would never be heard. Rider adds that finally telling their stories, even if only once for the books, has been cathartic to many of them in releasing some of the emotions and pain that they've carried since their tours of duty. With volume four of the series, Rider will have published stories from 500 veterans.
"As we continue this project we've been getting a sense of their feeling that they've had a good life since," says Rider. "And it makes them feel better. The telling cleanses their souls, and we let them know that we care about what they did for us."
Wendy Swisk , activities director at Cumberland Pointe, agrees. Since Yocum's story is included, she has organized a book signing for Rider and "Marshall County Patriots and Heroes, Volume 4" on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 10:30 a.m. at Cumberland Pointe. Afterwards, veterans from American Legion Post 366 in Flushing will do a Veterans Day presentation. Both events are free and open to the public.
"We need to listen to these people. It makes you appreciate what you have," adds Swisk.
Yocum says that he and other soldiers have tried to forget much of what happened during the wars-two of his crew members did not return. He learned, however, that, with the exception of the German Gestapo trained in severe techniques, many of his captors "were not mean" but were just regular people.
A good memory Yocum carries of his war experience is that of arriving home by ship in Brooklyn, passing the Statue of Liberty and, as Yocum was released from service, seeing his brother (a soldier in the Pacific) working there in the stock room at Camp Shanks. Officers gave his brother a 15-day furlough to spend with Yocum.
Cumberland Pointe Health and Rehabilitation is located at 68637 Bannock Rd. (State Rt. 331) just north of Interstate 70. For more information on the book signing and Veterans Day program call (740) 695-2500.

Busy Quilting
Is a Longarm Machine Quilting Service for the Busy Quilter based in South East Queensland, Australia. I enjoy creatively quilting designs to enhance the piecing and fabric within a quilt. I have been piecing quilt tops since 2001, machine quilting them since 2004 and a longarm quilter since 2008. My biggest challenge was "The World's Biggest Hexagon Quilt" which has been judged by the Guinness Book of records at 108.8metres long.

Hockey Match
I was planning on watching my husband play hockey this afternoon, but it is cold wet and miserable so I stayed home. This customer had started quilting this sampler herself but had taken out her bright orange thread and asked for an overall. These small swirls with a variegated yellow/orange/green thread worked well.

Since Skinny Body Care developed Skinny Fiber in 2011, many people have submitted before and after pictures of their success using the product. While the product was released in 2011, many people are searching for new and updated before and after photos. I've decided to compile some amazing testimonials and Skinny Fiber reviews we have received this year from customers that have discovered the nutritional benefits of using fiber.
Disclaimer: While Skinny Fiber has worked for many users, results may vary from person to person.
Click Here to Order Skinny Fiber from the Official Website!
If you haven't heard of this skinny pill before, you might be wondering how it can help you on your weight loss journey. The three key ingredients include Glucomannan, Caralluma and Chá de Bugre.
Glucomannan is a natural soluble fiber that helps to reduce cravings and hunger. There have also been studies suggesting that it helps eliminate fat by removing excess fat from the colon.
The second ingredient is Caralluma which is a type of plant harvested from Africa and India that works as an appetite suppressant.
Finally, from Brazil comes Chá de Bugre that stimulates fat-burning by boosting your metabolism. Skinny pill tablets may essentially help you lose weight by expanding in your stomach. Quite simply put, if you are not hungry throughout the day, you will eat less. If you are not experiencing cravings, you will not be tempted to reach for that piece of cake.
Where can I buy Skinny Fiber?
This product is not sold in chain stores such as Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and so forth. The legitimate product is only sold online through the official website of skinny body care distributors as linked to at the button above. You might also want to consider trying the latest product from SBC called Skinny Body Max.
Note: Do NOT buy skinny fiber from Amazon. It has been discovered that many people selling this product on Amazon have been selling "knock-off" versions of the original product and tampering with the labels. Only purchase from a trusted distributor to ensure you are receiving the authentic product. Not only will this ensure you lose weight but also protect your health from consuming pills with potentially harmful ingredients. If you have difficulties swallowing pills, you might want to consider HiBurn8 nighttime, which is a weight loss formula that you take in liquid form.
This product is registered in 31 countries and ships to over 100 countries including the US, Canada and the UK just as SBC ships other products like Instant Youth wrinkle reducer.
Does this product really work?
The results of using skinny fiber can vary depending on each person. Many customers have been happy with this product and continue to order month after month. Weight loss is not easy nor is it a process that will result in success after just one week. It is a journey and a lifestyle. You must commit 100% and believe in yourself.
Once you start taking skinny fiber, you have to be consistent. Remember to take your pills EVERY day, TWICE a day with a large glass of water or two glasses! The more water you drink, the better. It's also important that you wait AT LEAST 30 minutes before having lunch or dinner. And don't take these pills after eating. Ideally, you would have not eaten for 1.5-2 hours. Then take your pills with a large glass of water and wait 30 minutes before having lunch. Repeat this process with dinner. Try to be consistent when you take the pills. I like to jot down the times I have them at lunch and dinner and try to be consistent.
For example, I have lunch at 12 PM so I take my pills at 11:30 AM. I will have dinner around 7 PM so I take my pills at 6:30 PM. Do what works for you, but remember that consistency is key and patience! As they say, Rome wasn't built in one day! You can't expect to lose all the weight you have accumulated over the course of 5, 10 or maybe 20 years to be lost in just a short couple of weeks. Commit to the skinny fiber 90 day challenge like the people in the testimonials below have and you WILL have success. Check out the video compilation below of user-submitted before and after testimonials:
How to take these pills:
Take your skinny fiber pills, twice a day, every day, 30 minutes before your two largest meals. You must drink PLENTY of water a day, and we recommend taking your pills with 16 oz (2 glasses) of water.
Be consistent with the pills and write it down on a calendar or schedule it on the alarm on your phone so that you don't forget.
If you want accelerated weight loss, you should start a light exercise program. Take a 30 minute walk before dinner, or do a 20 minute workout video in the morning before you start your day. This will help to boost your metabolism and increase your energy in addition to taking your pills each day.
Most importantly, remember that you are NOT alone. I remember weighing 224 lbs. Not being able to fit any of my clothes. Dreading going out on the weekend because I'd be wearing a baggy sweater and jeans while my friends were wearing tight black dresses and heels. Losing weight liberated me. Not only did I become physically a healthier person, but it did wonders for my emotional and mental health. I developed confidence and both physical and mental strength.
What does it Cost and Where Can I Order?
This is the most often asked question that I receive. The price depends on the package you opt to purchase. You have three different options. Buying in bulk allows you to receive several bottles for free. Here are the three different skinny fiber packages available:
Starter Pack: If you purchase one bottle of skinny fiber it will cost you $59.95 US dollars per month (adjusted if you are ordering to the UK, Ireland, Canada or other country)
Bonus Package: Buy two bottles and get one bottle free. The total is $119.85 for three months of capsules.
Premier Value Package: This is the best value as you get a six month supply of pills for the price of under $180.
Remember that with all packages there is a 30 and 90 day money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the product! (less shipping)
Maybe you are still wondering..
Remember that you ARE capable of more and that you deserve this investment for your physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. As a weight-loss survivor I understand the desperation that many of you are facing. But I want you to realize that if you commit to taking your skinny fiber pills each day, you WILL succeed.
Start your beach body before summer hits and invest in a new you.

And not touch the mouse when he clobbered the cat
That's not a task that's very easy to do

At least it is clearer the Topsider pair

For some other purpose, and our speculation
Is that they seek health from an anthro-mutation

Unlike their older brethren, Thunderbirds from the 1990s have yet to achieve classic status, and few will argue that the 10th-generation Thunderbirds re ... Read more

Video project helps kids reach goals
"What is awesome about Steubenville:" that was the question asked, and through the aid of some local residents, university students and area pupils, it was answered.
Recently, city residents Katie Gesto and Katie Hess viewed a YouTube video titled "Kid President Pep Talk" and wondered how to do something similar for Steubenville.
Professor James Coyle at Franciscan University of Steubenville and his TV production class were brought into a project to make a video using Steubenville youth talking about what's great about the city.
And recently their hard work was praised as they premiered their two-minute video – created by 11 university students and starring several city children – in a university classroom. Filled with the children's unique ideas and music, "the video captured the excitement and spirit of the kids. And it talks about Steubenville in a positive way," said Hess.
Their plan is to put the video on YouTube and hope it catches on. They've even been in contact with the city schools and the parochial schools to ask them to consider showing the video at pep rallies or school events.
And Gesto and Hess said they want to continue their efforts by inspiring children, older students and even adults to create their own video about what's awesome in Steubenville.
"We need a pep talk about our town and ourselves. We want to harness the optimism and energy of our youth and transform it into a dynamism that will motivate our community. We know about the greatness and potential of Steubenville, but in recent months for a number of reasons much of the positive energy has been stifled," Gesto said.
To carry on that effort, Coyle said his students will be at at Mama Nita's Coffee House at the corner of Dock Street and North Fifth Street downtown from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday to help students to make their videos.
We applaud the visions of Gesto and Hess and for their leadership in creating the initial video, and others yet to come. We also appreciate Coyle and his students' efforts in creating the videos. Their end goal, we believe, is to help people in our community come together and to help Steubenville, and other surrounding communities be the best they can be.
Young people have ideas, thoughts, even dreams, for our city. This project will definitely help get them on their way toward reaching those goals.

Most people don't want to experience pain. It is very normal and our mind's job to desire to take away pain, avoid it, or be rescued from it. The process of labor and birth is much more affected by your mental state and ability to cope with intensity in your mind than the physical sensations happening in your body. The mental process affects the physical process of labor.
There is so much that can be discussed about pooping in labor. The main thing to remember, the pressure of the baby's head pushes on the same nerve that gives you the sensation to have a bowel movement, when you are nearing completion of dilation. When you are pushing, it is exactly like having a bowel movement. When you are anxious about pooping, you may be hindering being effective at pushing the baby out.
Lying awake at 4 this morning, courtesy of this adventure called menopause, it dawns on me that this weekend I become an "older mother." No, (and regrettably) I'm not having a baby. My firstborn is turning thirty! Thirty: to my mind the age at which we are fully adult. So, even though my five sons have all been in their twenties for the past few months, it is just now that I reach this milestone of becoming an older mother. Which is supposed to mean I've acquired some wisdom over these past 30 years plus 9 months.
I didn't have an easy pregnancy the first time around: I experienced all-day-long morning sickness for five months straight, I developed gestational diabetes, and my husband and I left jobs, found new jobs, and became first-time home buyers in my final trimester—stress was my new middle name.
On top of it all, I suffered from more than just back pain during pregnancy: I suffered from a particular lower back pain in pregnancy where my tailbone somehow twisted. Yes, you read that correctly: my tailbone was twisted. To use proper chiropractic terminology, I suffered from a coccyx injury.
Christmas! Fifty-two years of memories flood my mind as I sit and watch the fireplace mantel, hung with our children's, spouse's, and grandchildren's Christmas stockings, all swaying gently with the breeze of the ceiling fan. Two of those stockings were little fuzzy, red baby Christmas stockings, hanging between siblings, with their names lovingly penned in gold. Our tiny baby girl, Sage, and tiny baby brother, Shiloh, were nestled beneath my heart for only very short times, but they impacted my life forever.
Dearest Reader,
Should life give you two pink lines, take a breath. Then take another. No matter how prepared or unprepared you were for parenthood leading up to this moment, your life's portrait will never be the same, and that's a very, very good thing. You are in for an amazing adventure.
In that moment, I realized, EMBRACING the sweetness of the moment, taking time, LETTING GO, HOLDING space for her, BEing PRESENT, that being a Doula has helped me to be a better Mother.
By: Guest Blogger, AnaMaria Kurcab
I've been loaned five healthy sons, now all in their 20s. They are part of the beautiful tapestry that is my life, and they have each changed the world for the better. There is much tangible evidence that they exist. I was also loaned three other children, one male and two of unknown gender, whose lives intersected mine for only a short while, changed my life and fulfilled their personal purposes without leaving much tangible evidence…a small baby plot in a cemetery in Michigan, a baby book with three Polaroids, a set of footprints and an ID bracelet, some data and lots of poetry and prose I wrote in my grief.

PSE claims power is becoming more reliable
A 90-minute power outage in Langley Thursday morning by a falling tree was a reminder that the flow of electricity remains vulnerable on Whidbey Island even during the summer.
According to Puget Sound Energy, a tree near the Island County Fairgrounds fell on power lines just outside Langley city limits on Langley Road at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday. About 1,400 customers, including all customers in Langley, lost power in the incident.
Tim Bader, a spokesman for PSE, said the tree fall which occurred on a near windless morning did minor damage to the lines. Power was back on by 10 a.m.
For the past five years, PSE has been doing nearly constant work on its lines to ensure the lights on Whidbey Island stay on, Bader said. The majority of the effort has been directed toward foiling outages caused by falling trees and tree limbs. Though the company has consistently insisted that burying power lines would be too expensive, it has taken a number of other steps.
Last year, Bader said, about 34 percent of the 169 outages on Whidbey Island were caused by falling trees and limbs. PSE undertook a tree trimming program in 1999 to remove branches and trees maintenance crews found to be threatening power lines. Over the years, PSE subcontractors have trimmed the trees along 120 miles of roads and rights-of way.
Additionally, PSE has installed tree wire along 13 island roads. The wire does not short out when it is impacted or bent by trees or limbs. The wires hit by the tree outside Langley Thursday were not tree wire, thus shorted out.
Bader said PSEs plans for undergrounding power lines are limited to new housing developments in most cases. He said the presence of other underground utilities including telephone wires buried by Whidbey Telephone Company decades ago precludes PSE from doing the same in many locations.
Outages that do not involve tree or limb falls are typically caused by auto accidents, equipment failures and animals, Bader said.

Everyone loves a good game. Whether a board game or out on a field for a team sport; games encourage teamwork, good sportsmanship, and critical thinking skills. Here at the Romanian Cultural center we offer a variety of games and other activities that are sure to entertain as well as keep you in touch with others who share your cultural background and customs.
Here at the Romanian Cultural Center we have a beautifully updated facility that includes state of the art equipment and a knowledgeable staff who is anxious to get involved with the members of the Romanian community. We offer several teams that complete in intramural leagues with other community and cultural centers all throughout the greater Phoenix area. If competitive team sports are not the way that you want to get to know others and stay connected to your heritage, we have a wide range of game clubs that meet regularly to play board games like, chess and checkers, scrabble, card games, and even monopoly. There is a group with games for everyone! For those who have children, we offer kid's groups as well as daycare services for many of the times that our game groups meet. We even have a good number of staff members who speak Romanian themselves so if you have young ones who speak that at home they will be able to communicate while here with no problems!
We want to send out a special thank you to the gals over at lms.org for their help fundraising for the lms systems the local school had been trying to purchase. As you can imagine with all of the children we work with, having the latest technology in their schools will help them in the classroom before they step onto the field.
Romanian Cultural Fotbal
Many of the game clubs do not require dues of any kind. The use of the facility is included in your Romanian Cultural Center membership fees. Within the clubs, they may organize a snack rotation or a potluck dinner at times, but those are organized through the club itself and not the Romanian Cultural Center staff. While use of the facilities and equipment for the team sports is also included in the membership fees for the center, there are sometimes registration fees or uniform fees that may need to be paid in addition. Some of the intramural teams may have some transportation fees to away games as well. There are opportunities to hold occasional fundraisers in order to alleviate some of these costs for our players though. Additional fees specific to each sport can be found at the front desk of the Welcome Center. You can also call the front desk at 480-651-7899 to find the most up to date pricing for current teams. If special circumstances exist and additional fees may stop you or your child from participating in a team sport, you can also call our team coordinator, Valeria, who will be able to give you information on any potential scholarships available.

Skip to comments.Ad guru reveals why he sold Hamptons estate: Im paying unfair price for working hard
Posted on 12/23/2012 1:33:58 PM PST by lowbridge
Im happy to pay my fair share which is whatever the tax is right now.
The thing about capital gains is, I made the investment. I put in the original money. The house cost $3 million and then I put in an additional $6 million because the house was in terrible shape. We added rooms, sections, areas, and basically it was my investment.
When I bought that house I think Obama was in high school, and I certainly have paid taxes ever since.
Now Im being told the right thing is to do more. And because I can afford it, I have to pay more.
At this stage of my life, I want to have money to leave to my five kids and seven grandkids. Why would I want to give that additional 8 percent from capital gains to Obama instead?
God knows how that money would be spent.
I made the investment while Obama might have been in high school or smoking dope in college or whatever he was doing. He didnt make the investment; I did. He didnt take the risk; I did. He didnt improve the house; I did. And then in the end, hes saying I must pay him more.
I always was happy to pay my fair share of taxes. Im careful to pay every single penny on my taxes. I dont have any money offshore. But the fact is that at this stage the general feeling in the country is, You have it, give it to us.

Advertising guru blames Obama's 'class warfare' for Hamptons mansion sale
Oh, you betcha! I live at about 1/1000th of this guys income/lifestyle and I'm battening down the hatches BIG TIME.
You don't have to be rich to be SMART! :)
"Spread the wealth around."
Did it ever occur to obozo to spread a traditional work ethic around?
No. And it never will. He wants to take US down. Period.
IF this guy is a lib and has voted democrat, he's got no sympathy from me.
Is there a vengeful and punitive tax audit in Jerry's future? The magic Eight Ball sez "You can count on it."
His supporters have never worked like we work either.
Pretty much useless parasites.
The guy paid 3 million for a house in bad shape?
Why? What did they do to earn it--just by being born like the nobility?
This guy is spoiled whinny multimillionaire. Obama senior year of High School 1979 the top bracket was 70%. And in the 1950's it was around 90%. The "Ad Man" has paid higher taxes in the past but he seems to have forgot. Look at the chart below, its a eye opener.
Yup. I actually witnessed some scumbag buy an 18 pack of beer with an EBT. Hope he drowns in it.
The proper response to President Bill Ayers (and any other liberal) is, before we talk about what I'm going to give up, what are YOU going to give up?
Liberals only take, they never give.
Let's force them to give up some things and see how they like it.
because its the "Hamptons"
I'd rather live like a king in the middle of nowhere than some overexpensive place where the "rich and famous" hang out.
I saw a huge place in Weatherford, TX on 9.9 acres for $400,000 the other day. The barn was bigger and better than my house. lol

I'm pretty sure that Jerry Della Femina is no lib and never has been. I agree with him 100%.
so what Orange...maybe you're too wet behind the ears to know what the tax code allowed in deductions in those days... you can look that up if you care to have an argument that is truthful....fewer than 250 taxpayers ever paid the top rate.
The crooks in DC put in the AMT to make million dollar incomes pay something, and now hundreds of thousands of taxpayers get stuck with the calculation even with the fix...think that was an accident. It's a crime to pay more than 25% on any income unless you like slavery. Tax the 48% that pay nothing in fed taxes so they have some skin in the game...otherwise they vote all day to raise the taxes on the successful and the folks that HIRE people and write their name on the front of the paycheck. Take your progressive tax crap and stuff it...America succeeds when people decide what to do with the fruits of real labor, not the crooked FedGov...
Author said: "At this stage of my life, I want to have money to leave to my five kids and seven grandkids."
Reason said:"Why? What did they do to earn it—just by being born like the nobility?"
Sadly, you appear to have bought into class-warfare. Our Heavenly Father gives of gifts of grace and mercy, and I, too, would like to gift my children and friends with the treasured items I have collected over a lifetime of hard work. It pleasures me to share what I have, money or possessions, with those who have so generously given to me of their time and affection.
Should he leave the money HE EARNED to the government instead so they can piss it away?
According to the newsmeat website, over the past couple of decades, hes donated money to Democrats only.
It's his money, he earned it — it should be up to him to decide whether his progeny are worthy of receiving any or all of it. Perhaps his main motivation, for earning the money in the first place, was to be able to leave something for his offspring.
"I don't have any money offshore."
I was going to say this was his first mistake, but then I realized that giving money to democrats was his first mistake.
I am surely not a millionaire but what I work like a dog for and pay taxes on, I sure as hell don't want Obama coming back around for even more hand-outs.
In 1978, we got paid $15.00 and hour. That year we paid an extra $400 in taxes. Then, Carter got another tax hike passed through Congress and guess what? We got a letter in the mail that said we owed ANOTHER $400 which we had to take OUT OF OUR SAVINGS to pay. That money would've been better staying in our bank account than getting wasted by the feds.
$400 was ALOT of money back then. We have had it relatively good over the last few years with the Bush tax cuts.
The frustration this guy feels is a harbinger of things to come for all of us.
No worries. I have some skittles..
From his bio.
He ran a restaurant, Della Femina, in East Hampton, until he sold it in early 2011, because, "Im just not ready to have my wealth redistributed. Im not ready to pay more tax money than the next guy because I provide jobs and because I work a 60-hour week and I earn more than $250,000 a year. So why am I dropping out? Read a brilliant book by Ayn Rand called Atlas Shrugged, and youll know."
You've been on this site for a long time. I can't believe your comment. Its his money. If he wants to declare his heirs nobility what fricking business of yours is that?
I'm planning on having $-0- income for the next two years. I'm also planning on spending $-0- except for food and fuel.
These leftists can enjoy their games without me (if I can figure out a way around the "exit" taxes).
If you or I did what the governments are doing, it would be called armed robbery.
Other than our cities, libraries, universities, public schools, arts, theater, artisans, media, corporations, ports, healthcare, financial industries, unions, auto industries, federal jobs and now the military brass, what do they possibly have that we would want?
Do I really need the sarcasm tag?
Jerry della Femina was a hardscrabble Italian kid from Brooklyn when he started in business, and I doubt if his five kids ever felt like nobility when he was working his way up. He truly is a self-made man with an inspiring work ethic, and he personifies what used to be known as the American Dream. Try googling before sneering.
You would prefer it go to the government? What the hell would that accomplish?
I was in the ad biz. I know Jerry; I competed with him. He started at the bottom, did some great work, took some big chances...and built a successful business. He earned every penny he ever made; nobody gave him squat.
If he wants to reward his children and grandchildren with the fruits of his labor, that's his business. Not mine, not yours.
If you make a fortune, you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Even give it to the government -- instead of your kids or grandkids. That's your business.
25 Best Places to Retire
Weatherford, Texas
Come to Washington DC. God has no idea how the money would be spent.
If it's his money, then for you to be consistent you must believe he should pay no taxes and keep it all.
Or his liver will fail and then we can pay the full bill for a transplant.
Dad and I have that beat. Exit taxes? Nope. We own everything jointly. Works in our state. If you have a trustworthy son or daughter, look into it. :)
But if you need an executor, I'm your gal, LOL!
I like the idea of spending nothing aside from food and fuel. I'm pretty sure I could do that at this point. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Republicans have allowed the ENTIRE DEBATE to surround raising taxes instead of FOCUSING ON SOLVING OUR DEBT AND SPENDING PROBLEM!!! THERE is ONLY ONE WAY TO FIX the problem and that is to CUT FEDERAL PROGRAMS ACROSS THE BOArd! IN some programs, they need to simply shut the entire program DOWN!~
That's pretty much what I believe. I'll agree to fund the military and the highways, but that's it. The rest would be done through charities. The charities would help those in NEED and help those in WANT to find their own jobs (and be close enough to home to know the difference between the two).
If the government lowers taxes on the middle class and makes up the shortfall by taxing the super rich more, then the government can pee it away all it wants.
I've seen a bunch of nice barns remodeled into homes.We have a 100 year old barn that I'm thinking about re-working into a world class man cave.
That would be the high point of my day.
One of the best places... I can believe that one!
The barn I saw had a huge overhang you could park a big rig or RV under. You could probably turn the place into apartments. lol. Maybe a small exaggeration.
Yes, but darn near *everything* was a tax deduction. 3-martini lunches, you name it. Given the lock down on business deductions that got started in the 80s and continued in the 90s, comparing tax rates between the times is apples vs oranges.
Wow how sad! Well Merry Christmas to you anyway.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
The Diner opens Saturday on N. Green Bay Road
A new restaurant is opening Saturday at 4191 N. Green Bay Road, in what long had been Lyle's Sandwich Shop: It's the Diner, a 1950s-style diner serving diner standards and Southern dishes.
Lisa and Charleston Gray will operate the new restaurant. They bought the building in 2010 and have remodeled it themselves, expanding it from the original 16-seat counter.
Both have worked in restaurants and hospitality; Charleston Gray worked for Levy Restaurants of Chicago and was involved in opening the restaurant at the Harley-Davidson Museum, Lisa Gray said. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

I found an empty house in my neighborhood, I knew that wer shouldn't but I thought we could. Knew it wouldn't be hard to slide into the backyard, Called all my friends and slipped a hundred to the guard. We turned on the radio and had a party on the patio. Betty's in the sauna and she's getting kind of hot, Mary's in the icebox wishin' she was not. Connie's in the whirlpool, Jimmy's tryin' to be cool, Libby's in the bushes 'cause she's nobody's fool. We turned the lights down low and had a party on the patio. Heard the cops are coming so we tried to jump the fence, Mary didn't make it and we haven't seen her since. Connie had another drink, Jimmy simply couldn't think, Billy G. was passed out underneath the sink. But everybody's gonna show for another party on the patio.

Transformation Facials
The newest treatments promise results formerly reserved for those willing to under the knife.
In certain, very glittery circles, New York skin care guru Tracie Martyn's Resculpting Facial is practically a prerequisite to attending high profile events: Uber-photographer Steven Meisel sent Linda Evangelista for five consecutive treatments before her comeback magazine cover, and Eva Herzigova goes straight from the airport to the salon. "It's not just about steaming your face and putting on a mask anymore," says Martyn. "I want to make a difference."
-Selene Milano
Tracie Martyn
WHERE: New York City. 212. 206.9333
WHAT: Rescultpting Facial, $460
THE PROMISE: A smooth, firm, more "lifted" face.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT: The Resculptor, Martyn's proprietary machine, stimulates skin with painless electric currents that give immediate results.
THE PAYOFF: "I don't have wrinkles. But after just one facial, my face looked thinner, tighter. I bounced out with no makeup feeling prettier than I had in ages," says a newly glowing Lucky editor.

Global IC industry to grow 4.8% in 2013: MIC

The global integrated circuit (IC) market is expected to see a production growth of 4.8 percent next year, said the Market Intelligence and Consulting Institute (MIC) yesterday.
As for Taiwan, IC output value is expected to hit NT$1.64 trillion, a growth of 6 percent, MIC said.
By IC sub-sector, growth is expected for IC design, foundry and testing/packaging operators, it said.
MIC made the remarks during a forum yesterday discussing various trends in the information technology sector.
For this year, the global IC industry is expected to see production value of US$300.12 billion, a growth of merely 0.2 percent from 2011 due to slowed sales of personal computers, said Hung Chun-hui, vice director with MIC.
Taiwan is expected to outperform the rest of the world with total production value of NT$1.55 trillion this year, a growth of 7 percent from 2011.
For next year, global IC production value is expected to hit US$314.382 billion, a rise of 4.8 percent from this year. Taiwan's IC production is forecasted to grow 6 percent to NT$1.64 trillion.
IC designers are expected to see growth next year, thanks to demands from the mid- to low-end smartphone and PC manufacturers.
As for foundries, also known as contract chip-makers, they may also see growth, given demands for products made with cutting-edge manufacturing processes, Hung said. Yet inventory adjustments are expected from this quarter to the first three-month period next year, he said.
IC testing and packaging firms may grow 6 percent next year, on business from independent device manufacturers, he added.
Meanwhile, MIC also forecasted the output value of Taiwan's telecommunications industry will grow 14.2 percent year-on-year in 2013 to reach NT$2.32 trillion.
Strong orders for Apple smartphones and the popularity of long-term evolution (LTE) — a super-fast wireless technology — will be the forces behind the growth, MIC said.
