Judge self-reports relationship
ELKINS – Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong released a statement Wednesday acknowledging a relationship with a county employee in response to being questioned by The Inter-Mountain about the situation.
That individual, whom she named as Travis Carter, is the regional director of North Central Community Corrections. He is employed by the Randolph County Commission, which recently placed him on suspended leave pending an investigation.
Also looking into the matter is the state Judicial Investigation Commission.
Wilfong said four complaints were filed with the JIC regarding her relationship with Carter.
One complaint, which she maintains was the first on record with the state agency, was her self-report in an effort to follow the appropriate procedures for disclosing a personal connection. The other complaints were filed later and in response to her disclosure, she said, noting the allegations in those filings mirror what she self-reported to the JIC.
"A few weeks ago, I notified the agency that oversees judges that there had been a relationship with Mr. Carter. I did this in an abundance of caution to avoid an appearance of impropriety. It is unfortunate when private matters become topics for public speculation, but I understand I am a public figure in this county," Wilfong wrote in a prepared statement.
"I work very hard every day to serve the citizens of Randolph County. However, I am not a perfect person. I am working to restore the faith of my family and those who care about me, and I am genuinely sorry I have disappointed so many people," she continued.
Wilfong and Carter each have spouses.
Much speculation has abounded in the region about this alleged relationship. Rumors heightened after the Commission suspended Carter from his position last week. The Inter-Mountain has been actively investigating the suspension – which had been without pay – since it was announced during an emergency meeting Oct. 16.
The Commission later amended the suspension to include pay and addressed the topic during its Oct. 17 regularly scheduled session, when it also unanimously voted to hire an outside law firm to investigate the situation.
Neither county officials nor their legal representation in the matter have indicated why Carter was suspended – other than stating it was because of a "personnel matter."
"The Randolph County Commission, through its legal counsel, Paul Krepps of Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, continues to gather information regarding the actions of Mr. Carter during the weeks prior to his suspension," Commissioner Mike Taylor said Wednesday.
A phone message left for Carter was not returned as of presstime. However, his counsel, Bader Giggenbach of the law firm Brewer & Giggenbach, PLLC, of Morgantown, provided a written statement on his client's behalf.
"Travis Carter has successfully worked with area leaders to create and to develop North Central Community Corrections. He is a dedicated and valued public employee, and he wants to continue with the progress of transforming criminal offenders," Giggenbach wrote. "Mr. Carter will cooperate with any investigation into any personal relations he may have had with Judge Wilfong. Although the judge is a public figure, this is also a private matter that Mr. Carter is working through with his own family."
Wilfong, who has practiced law since 1995 and has been on the bench since 2003, said she has had a spotless disciplinary record during her tenure. After private practice, Wilfong was a family court judge in Randolph, Tucker and Grant counties from January 2003 to December 2008. Elected to the position of judge for the 20th Judicial Circuit, she was sworn in Jan. 1, 2009, and her eight-year term will expire Dec. 31, 2016, unless Wilfong runs for and wins re-election.
Further details about the nature of her alleged relationship with Carter or what is contained within the complaints filed with the JIC are not a matter of public record at this time.
Rule 2.4 of the Rules of Judicial Disciplinary Procedure provides, "The details of complaints filed or investigations conducted by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel shall be confidential. The details/investigation remain confidential unless the judicial officer has been admonished by JIC or a statement of charges has been issued."
Wilfong has neither been admonished by the JIC nor has a statement of charges – similar to an indictment in a criminal case – been issued. In addition, circuit court business will continue as scheduled, including grand jury, which is set to convene Monday. Wilfong said there is a full docket all next week and there has been no change in the scheduling of cases.
According to the website courtswv.gov, the investigation of complaints filed against a member of the judiciary can be quite lengthy. Under a section titled frequently asked questions, the website indicated the following in response to: How long does it take to resolve a complaint?
"The Commission normally meets once every two months, so final disposition may take several months, depending on the complexity of the matter. You will receive written notice of the final disposition at such time as it is appropriate. In addition, the Commission has no emergency powers and cannot, under any circumstances, interfere in any pending or ongoing litigation," the website states.
Wilfong is subject to the governance of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. The JIC may dismiss the complaints outright or choose to investigate further, moving through multiple steps that may lead to disciplinary action. However, the fact a complaint or multiple complaints are filed does not constitute misconduct and/or the need for action. That will be up to the JIC to recommend and the state Supreme Court to decide, should the complaints move forward through the vetting process, the website explains.
Though no official with the JIC would provide comment on the record, it appears from sources familiar with the case locally that any speculation about the future of the complaints and/or the investigation would be premature at this time.
The county, however, is following its own process of investigation, some of which was outlined Wednesday, when the North Central Community Corrections Board of Directors met to discuss how the program will proceed.
Erin Golden, finance manager with Community Corrections, was elevated to acting director. Also, board members were given a brief overview regarding Carter's suspension.
Taylor, who sits on the board as a representative of the County Commission, stated because of the sensitivity of the inquiry, very little information could be shared with the board.
"I want to assure the residents and taxpayers of Randolph County, that the Commission takes the inquiry very seriously and is doing everything possible to follow proper procedures during this inquiry," he said. "The residents deserve that we protect the interests of the taxpayers of the county, and at the same time, follow strict state and federal employment law."
According to the Commission's website, randolphcountycommissionwv.org, Community Corrections is "an alternative program that provides structured and rehabilitative services to citizens of Randolph, Pocahontas, and Tucker count(ies) to help them become motivated and successful citizens."
The program was established in 2005 by Carter, who, "with the help of the judicial system, developed a correctional program beneficial to Randolph County that would provide rehabilitative services to transition offenders back to their local community."
"The Randolph County Community Corrections established a working relationship with the judicial system, the local board and the community, during the first few years of operation – to determine what services are needed for the offender population of Randolph County," the website states.
The program later was expanded to include other counties in what has become a regional approach to solving overcrowding issues at jails and holding facilities in this part of the state.

Entering 2013, businesses do not know what their tax rates will be. That's a big chunk of any business' planning. There are also plenty of questions still undetermined about the implementation of Obamacare and the many new taxes hidden within it and the new reporting and regulations coming down the pike with it.
Throw in the impact of going over the fiscal cliff with a national economy that is running only a notch above a recession already and it's no wonder job growth is at a standstill in most of the country.
We are now in the most expansive big government movement in America's history and it is crushing the private sector.
Consider the impact of the Dodd-Frank banking legislation allegedly drawn up in response to the financial crisis brought on by sub-prime mortgages. The law with more than 2,000 pages doesn't even touch on sub-prime mortgages, but creates more than 70 new regulations and policies that banks are required to monitor and adhere to – regardless if they made a subprime mortgage loan or not.
Locally we are most fortunate to have real job and economic growth spurred by the Eagle Ford Shale. Without it, we'd be stalled in the doldrums like the rest of America.
We can only hope 2013 turns out better than it looks going in, but until the federal government takes its foot off the neck of the economy, the likelihood of an economic rebound will remain a pipe dream.
All should buckle up for a bumpy ride.
– Jeff Latcham

Wisconsin DOT warns Sturgeon Bay bridge will close
Published On: Feb 20 2013 05:51:16 AM CST Updated On: Feb 20 2013 05:51:00 AM CST
State transportation officials are reminding motorists Sturgeon Bay's Bayview Bridge will close next month for $4.8 million worth of repairs and upgrades.
The bridge is set to close to vehicular and pedestrian traffic on March 4. Traffic will be re-routed through Sturgeon Bay and drivers should expect delays.
The bridge opened in 1978. The last major repairs to it were done in 2004. The new project calls for structural steel repair and painting as well as electrical and machinery upgrades.
The bridge is scheduled to reopen by July.

City officials say construction on a new Applebee's will likely begin by the end of February. The restaurant will be located about a block west of North Prince Street on Llano Estacado Boulevard. (CNJ staff photo: Mike Linn)
By Mike Linn: CNJ news editor
Another national chain restaurant is scheduled to open in Clovis in the near future.
City officials said construction on an Applebee's west of North Prince Street on Llano Estacado Boulevard will likely begin at the end of the month.
"They're getting through the process now," said Claire Burroughes, community relations director for Clovis. "It's exciting news, wonderful news for Clovis. We're also getting calls from other businesses which are showing interest in Clovis."
The city's director of building safety, Pete Wilt said he's been getting a high number of phone calls from commercial architects with questions on building code. He said last week he received about six calls, and he typically receives between one and two a week. He said the architects rarely divulge who they are working for and what they plan to build.
On Monday Wilt signed off on Applebee's application for a new commercial permit, but city officials and officials at Applebee's were unaware when the eatery would be open for service.
The 5,326-square-foot restaurant would be located about a block west of North Prince Street, an area of town that has experienced a surge in commercial business growth.
Two other national chain restaurants — IHop and Chili's on North Prince Street — opened doors to the public in 2004.
Applebee's is headquartered in Overland Park, Kan., and has more than 1,600 restaurants in 49 states and 10 international countries, according to the company Web site.
Applebee's is considered a casual-theme restaurant and is located in most major cities. There are two branches in Amarillo and one in Lubbock and Roswell.

Portulacas love it hot and dry. You can plant them in poor, even sandy, soil. They also adapt to average garden conditions.
Just give them full sun and any well-drained soil. Water them after planting and watch them go. They ll grow 4 to 8 inches high and spread 6 to 18 inches. You don t even have to deadhead.
If plants get scraggly, you can cut them back. Don t fertilize too much; it will encourage plants to produce thick foliage but fewer flowers.
Sunlight: Full sunlight
Soil: Prefer sandy well drained soils.
Water: When they are watered just a light watering will do as their root zone is very shallow.
Temprature: The plants can also be started indoor at 70 to 85°F (21 to 29°C).
Fertilizer: There s no need for fertilizer with the portulaca, as it will do fine on its own.
- Water the plant only when the top of the soil is dry, as portulaca is a drought-tolerant plant that thrives in dry, desert-like soil.
- Fertilize portacula every other week, using a liquid fertilizer with a balanced ratio such as 20-20-20.
- Alternatively, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in midsummer.
- Pinch off wilted blooms to prevent the plant from self-seeding.
- Check portulaca often for aphids, tiny, green insects that gather on the undersides of the leaves or at the joints of the stems and leaves.
Special Feature:
Moss rose is a beautiful, bright coloured, low growing annual that blooms all summer long with little or no care required. It is one of very few annual succulents.
Medicinal use:
- The entire plant is depurative.
- It is used in the treatment of hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver with ascites, swelling and pain in the pharynx.
The fresh juice of the leaves and stems is applied externally as a lotion to snake and insect bites, burns, scalds and eczema.
Ornamental use:
- Plant moss rose in a container or hanging basket and let it spill over like a sedum.
- Use moss rose as edging at the front of borders or in the cracks in a rock wall, or the spaces between stepping stones.
For medicinal use, please consult appropriate doctor / physician before use.

From the Office of State Senator Troy Fraser
For Immediate ReleaseJanuary 23, 2013Contact: Janice McCoy (512) 463-0124
Fraser Files Legislation to Tackle Water Needs
Austin — Senator Troy Fraser (R-Horseshoe Bay) filed three bills that will allow Texas to meet future water needs that come from continued growth.
"We must keep up with the population growth and the resulting increased demand on our state's limited water supply," said Fraser. "We need to start planning for that growth so that people continue moving to Texas."
The population of the state is expected to almost double in 50 years. The demand for water is expected to reach 21.6 million acre feet by 2060, up 27 percent from 2000 while existing water supplies - including surface water, groundwater and reused water - are projected to decrease about 10 percent by 2060.
"Compounding the increased demand, most of our state has been facing a severe drought since 2011," stated Fraser. "As of this month, 96% of the state is currently experiencing some level of drought and reservoirs are only 67% full."
These bills present a three pronged attack to tackle the state's water needs. The bills would provide a $2 billion infusion of funding, restructure the Texas Water Development Board, and authorize local entities to form regional partnerships to solve regional water needs.
"We need to enhance existing water resources and promote water conservation measures across the state," continued Fraser. "I think this package of bills will help the state and local entities to not only create new water but to work harder to reuse and conserve the water we already have."
Senate Bill 4, filed Wednesday January 23, would create the State Water Implementation Fund of Texas (SWIFT) to provide a revolving fund to finance projects in the state water plan. At least 10 percent of the financing would be set aside for water conservation or reuse projects and another 10 percent would be set aside for projects in rural Texas. It would reorganize Texas Water Development Board and require it to prioritize projects in each regional planning area.
Senate Bill 22, filed Thursday January 17, would make a one-time allocation of $2 billion from the state's Economic Stabilization Fund to capitalize the SWIFT.
Senate Bill 235, filed Wednesday January 23, would statutorily authorize local governments to form regional authorities to finance water projects.
"The state and local entities need to work together to help solve our water supply problems," Fraser stated. "Whether we build new reservoirs, conserve, or reuse the water, Texans are resourceful. We will find solutions which allow us to maintain an adequate supply to sustain and grow our economy."

Representative Paul Ryan from Wisconsin who is considering running for Senator Herb Kohl's senate seat has said as recently as today that we're living "in a country that is going broke." Later this week, he's going to be talking in Chicago on the subject that "we are going broke."
What is he thinking and what is he talking about? We know that most politicians are a little bit on the nutty side but why would he be crazy enough to run for Senator of a country that is going broke. His economic plan certainly would move us in that direction, then his delusion that we're going broke would come true.
Our oil companies alone are making enough profit annually to pay off our trillions of dollars of debt in less than 15 years. If we added some of the other energy producing firms' profit, natural gas and coal for instance, we'd pay it back in less than 10 years. Is this what he means by "going broke."
Are the richest of his country going broke?
"Average Wisconsin CEO pay rises 27%; for more than a dozen, raises exceeded 100%." Does this look like we're going broke? Ryan wants to convert his mystical beliefs into a strange state of mind for the rest of us that Social Security is a work of the devil and the Medicare and all our medical programs came straight from hell.
Our three major auto manufactures are doing quite well as is Wall Street of course. Our banks have come out of what might have become a financial catastrophe. Our employment rate is rising slowly and has been rising within the last three months.
Are these signals that "we are going broke?" We might however, ask what industry and the Republicans are doing about creating jobs. Their cry was JOBS, JOBS, JOBS during the mid-term election. What has their mandate done about their promise of JOBS.
What does Ryan know that economist and the rest of do not? Ryan wants to create the illusion that we're going to hell in a bread basket because of FDR's programs and all the evil (commie) liberals that followed him into government and are there now creating all these devilish programs.
We would more likely be going broke as a government and not as country if we were to follow all of his programs of destruction of the American way of life which has kept us from sinking into another great depression.
This way of life is still sustaining us in an economy where gasoline is selling at $4 and will likely reach $5 before the summer's over. Social Security and Medicare have acted as economic sustaining forces under everything that was heading us toward depression.
What is it about politicians that make them economist upon election? As someone once said, some of these politicians are engaged in "voodoo economics." By the way, who said that?

Superintendent Jack Gaskins said he appreciated the school board members for working hard in three workshops that focused on compensation and benefits for teachers.
"It makes us more competitive, and our teachers deserve a raise," Gaskins said.
Unfortunately, the district received word that what was expected in values for the district was $35 million less than what it was told in April.
Gaskins said that equates to $330,000 taxable revenue that the district is not going to realize.
"We believe it's time to be prudent," he added.
Still, the school board voted on several measures to ensure a raise and benefits to the district's employees.
Teachers with bachelor's degrees will receive an increase of $4,500 above the state base.
Teachers with master's degrees will receive $5,500 above the state base.
Paraprofessionals and auxiliary staff will receive a $1,000 increase in salary.
And all full-time employees will receive a $500 one-time lump sum paid in December.
The one-time lump sum excludes the superintendent, who received a $5,000 raise in January upon the renewal of his contract.
All other administrators will receive 5 percent of the mid point on the administrator's pay scale.
Also, district employees who are on the insurance program will receive $139 toward their health insurance paid in September.
The district already pays $251 per employee. The total cost of the insurance benefit is $46,800 and will be taken from the district's fund balance.
Also, teachers who reached the Step 20 level of the salary schedule will now have a chance for increases.
School trustees removed the Step 20 cap and raised it to a Step 25. This affects six additional teachers' salaries that were frozen.
"This makes us more competitive on the pay scale," said board member Andy Rocha.
"There's not a teacher out there who doesn't deserve a raise," said board member George Jaso.
But Jaso also noted that the board has to think of the taxpayers in the district, as well, when figuring raises.
"We need to show our teachers some appreciation," said board member Dr. Gary Wright.
Rocha added that next year the district will have to throw some more money into payroll or it will be back where it started.
Gaskins also noted that the most recent STARR scoring for Refugio will be released on Aug. 8.
Preliminary scoring from spring numbers on the Texas Education Agency website did not account for students who retook the tests.
Gaskins, who has had a preview of the latest numbers, said overall the district did well compared to state standards.
He said there is concern over 4th grade scoring and special programs and efforts to correct the concern are in place.
Also, new teachers for the 2013-14 school year were introduced:
Holly Stein, elementary/high school, art; Joe Bob Ratliff, social studies/coach; David Torch, band director; Angelica Galvan, assistant band director; Ariel Aleman, assistant elementary principal.
Also, Lisa Castillo, math; William Cockerill, business/computer; Alicia Pursch, English; Tammy Reeves, chemistry; Pricilla Meza, third/fourth grade social studies; Meagan Markert, PE/girls athletics; Virginia Gilstrap, English; Renee Deaver, math; and Stacie Carvajal, second grade.

On this day (Feb. 4) in 1789, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States in the Electoral College.
Notably "The Indispensable" Virginian was elected the country's chief executive again, in 1792, by every one of the 132 electors who cast votes that year, thus becoming the only U.S. president (of the 43) to have ever been elected unanimously.
Interestingly, even when James Monroe ran unopposed for president in 1820, he received only 231 of the 235 electoral votes cast (there were three abstentions and William Plummer of New Hampshire voted for John Quincy Adams), thus reserving for the "Father of His Country" the singular distinction of receiving a unanimous electoral vote.
The Electoral College is surely the most unusual and convoluted method of selecting a chief executive. Established by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, it reads: "Each state shall appoint in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."
Not intended to be at all democratic, it established a system (especially, at least, for the first 10 or 11 elections) for electors (the elite) to cast votes for two different individuals without specifying whether their votes were for president or vice president. This method of voting was changed to the present system by the passage of the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1804.
The individual receiving the highest number of electoral votes was elected president and the second highest vice president.
Thus, on this day in 1789, Washington received one electoral vote from each of the 69 electors, who scattered their second votes with John Adams (with 34 electoral votes) becoming the first U.S. vice president.
As originally drafted, the Electoral College was a compromise between election by the national legislature and election by the popular vote of the people. Clearly, the framers feared "mobocracy" (i.e., election by what they considered an indifferent or uninformed citizenry), but at the same time wanted to avoid legislative election, which they thought would violate the separation of powers between the three branches of government.
The compromise is what prevailed most notably until 1828, with electors (presumably the wiser, more knowledgeable local politicians) actually selecting the nation's leaders. Beginning with the controversial election of 1824 and intensified in 1828, the votes of the populous slowly became significant in the selection of electors.
To date, there have been 57 presidential elections, of which 53 have, despite the Framers obvious aversion to establishing a truly "democratic" system, been relatively democratic in that those elected did in fact receive (after 1824, when popular votes were officially recorded) a majority or at least a plurality of the popular votes of the American voters.
The four presidential elections where the electoral winners received fewer popular votes than the losers were: 1824, John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson; 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden; 1888, Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland; and 2000, George W. Bush over Al Gore.
There has been, ever since the early 19th century, numerous attempts to establish a more democratic system of choosing a president and vice president than the Electoral College, but the proposals never have been able to garner the necessary two-thirds votes in Congress needed to start the amendment process, as mandated in Article V (the amendment article) of the U.S. Constitution.

Starting on Monday, motorists should be aware of lane closures at the I90, Route 47 interchange that will reduce traffic to one lane throughout the week.
From Oakcreek Parkway in Huntley to the I90 bridge, construction crews will close single lanes, north and south bound, to traffic. Route 47 will also be down to a single lane from I90 to Big Timber Road, according to Huntley village officials.
Drivers should expect longer delays, especially for the morning and evening commutes. Crews have been working since June on the $69 million full interchange project at I90 and Route 47. New westbound ramps are expected to be open in summer 2013.

R-Money and Self-Loathing Middle Class
My entire family votes Republican. I am not kidding. With the exception of me and my siblings, my entire extended family pretty much votes a straight ticket. This makes sense for about half of them since that's the military half of the family. Republican administration=increased defense spending=job security. But the other half are blue collar workers, many of whom saw their union jobs either shipped south of the Mason-Dixon line to right-to-work states or out of the country all-together. Clinton may have been the one who signed NAFTA but the idea behind it, and the resulting job losses across the rust-belt, were all Republican initiatives.
The point is, it doesn't make much sense for a paper-mill worker like my dad to be voting Republican. I can kind of understand why a millionaire former baseball player like Curt Schilling now shills for the GOP. Tax breaks and loopholes keep his nest-egg more ostrich-sized while the rest of us deal with our quail egg savings. And if you think any part of the middle class will come out ahead under a Romney/Ryan administration, you need to pull your head out of the sand.
You know, this story could be told much more easily via pictures. Let's try that.
Serendipitous truth in advertising:
R-Money – rapper, Mormon, Republican candidate for President:
Now, why exactly is anyone from the middle class or any fiscal conservative planning to vote for this guy? I guess I should just ask my family. Chances are, they'll be doing so.

Allen, while you make valid points I will explain why I lean Republican. As a 25 year old who is following my minor league baseball playing husband around this country, on a VERY limited salary, I could very easily swing Democrat. I am actually undeclared on my voter registration but here are the following reasons I lean Republican. I believe is SMALL government. Democrats want way too much control when the power should be in the hands of the people, not our unreliable government. Another major reason I tend to vote Republican is because I believe in preserving our constitution. Democrats as a whole put that constitution in jeopardy. Prime example – the right to bear arms. One of our very basic rights is actually questioned by Democrats, not to mention our entire constitution as a whole. We have not survived this long and been as powerful a country, by loosely interpreting that crucial document. I also vote for Republicans based on Homeland security. We need to protect our boarders and put up a UNITED front. Our military needs to be so powerful that no one would ever question attacking us. Obama has repeatedly apologized for our actions, making us look weak. He is opening up the doors for our enemies to attack us because that's exactly what they will do when we show even the slightest sign of weakness. And finally, the most important part is I believe in free enterprise. This country was built on that very luxury and if we do not protect our small businesses we might as well crumble now and live in a society run out by monopolies and big government. Look, I am a Vegan who believes in protecting our environment, trust me, I understand how important that is, but we need to 1. raise the number of jobs, 2. lower our debt, 3. protect our boarders, or we won't have a single dollar to save our planet. I am looking at the future of my children and their children and at this rate, they will be paying our debts 100 years from now. Hope that clarifies why people who make $30k-$70k/ household/ year would vote Republican.

But she says to start giving him more solids and supplement solids with breastfeeding. I'm really confused because i thought the opposite was true. Shes been pushing solids since 4 months. My inclination is to ignore the suggestion/advice but I wondered if anyone else has heard this. He is eating one jar of fruit per day already.

Designs will soon be on their way to potential builders for La Crosse's new Northside Elementary School.
A group of administrators, school staff, and community members have met several times with architects to develop the school's layout. That's everything from hallways to color schemes.
They presented it to the school board Monday night.
The next step is to send it off to would-be builders. "I would anticipate we'll put it out to bids tomorrow (Tuesday). It will probably take about 3 weeks or so for all the bids to come back in and some time last week of August I would expect the board would consider a bid before moving forward," said Superintendent Randy Nelson at Monday night's board meeting.
Nelson says he expects a groundbreaking ceremony to happen the first week of September.

Hello all. This is my first post here but I have been reading for past 5 months.
I gave birth to Ana in May of this year. I wend back to work at the end of July and then I started to pump and BF her when I get home and while I am at home.
My pumping output was btw. 16-18 oz during the 8 hr work shoft (3 pumpings) I was more then happy until today.
In teh morning before work I BF Ana. Went to work and at 10 am pumped @c 6 oz (not as usual but still ok). However at 1pm my right breast (where I get 90% of the milk from) just stopped "working". I could feel that it is hard but just drops of milk are pumping. So btw pumping at 1pm and 4pm I got only @ 3-4 oz.
I got home and tried to give Ana that right breast but she could not get anything, I showered and massaged with worm water - little better but in general I could hardly get 2oz.
My right breast is still hard on the top and on the right side...I have no idea what to do and what can create this to be like just like that 3 hours after good pumping.
I would gladly appreciate any help or suggestion. Thanka in advance. Natasa

I am looking for some information to pass along to an acquaintance. She is most likely going to be induced around 34 weeks (if she can make it that long) due to complications with her pregnancy and it is almost definite that the baby will have to spend some time in the NICU. She has not breastfed her other two children (even though they were both premature and in the NICU for several weeks) and she says she has no intention of breastfeeding this child, but I would like to at least provide her with some sort of information or studies that show the benefits of breastmilk, specifically for premature babies that have to stay in the NICU. I was talking about some of the benefits today and she seemed the TINIEST bit interested, so I'm hoping that reading some solid evidence might give her the initiative to at least try.
Do any of you mamas have some favorite links or articles that you could share with me?

Fall is officially here and it's time to cozy up to a new carryall. Although this is an exciting adventure for most, it's also a personal one — a bag is your constant companion and you never leave home without it. TODAY style editor and Bobbie.com's Bobbie Thomas researched the runways and rolled up her sleeves, searching through hundreds of bags to find the best buys for fall:
This season offers up wide variety of classic handbag styles in rich colors with unique hardware updates. Chanel once again reinvented their icon bags, this time with rigid structure and bolder chains, while contemporary brands such as 3.1 Phillip Lim and newcomer Jason Wu grounded their modern collections with timeless silhouettes. Satchels with top handles, framed purses and structured shoulder bags add polish to your work or weekend looks. And sophisticated shades such as burgundy, navy, maize and rust offer a subtle pop of color without overpowering. These ladylike totes are perfect for those in search of versatility through the season. Here are some of my favorite finds:
Boy Bag Collection, Chanel.comfor stores; 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchelin Ink, $895, 212-334-1160; Rampage Jackson, Chase, & Bardot Satchels $98, Endless.com; Harris for Mondani Brown Frame Bag, $70, 800-847-0072; Vianca Clutch, $68, Nordstrom.comfor stores; Samantha Crossbody Bag, $80, Bigbuddha.com; Melie Bianco Allie Messengerand Desiree Bag $61-$99, Modaqueen.com; Call It Spring Guilstorf Convertible Bag, $34.99, Jcp.com; Pony Hair Flap Bag, $34.95, Hm.com for stores; Kimchi Blue 2 Tone Lady Bag, $29.99, Urbanoutfitters.comfor stores; Steve Madden Bmarcela Bag, $108, Macys.com.
Fall runways were abound with all things inspired by mother nature. Valentino has fashion editors hissing over their exotic python bags, while Stella McCartney turned heads with her fab eco-friendly faux fur Falabella tote that she named after her horse. Expand your horizons and embrace the season's assortment of unusual fabrics including curly mohair and fuzzy feathers or keep it a little more classic with an embossed croc leather. You can even have fun with camping-inspired designs, a subset of the 'great outdoors' trend that encompasses shearling, Native American & Fairisle prints, for an effortless cozy look that may inspire you to curl up by a fire.

The September issues: What's on the newsstands
High fashion at low prices - coming to a mall (or website) near you
While "glam" has been at the forefront of fashion for several seasons now, this year's bags take the concept to a whole new level with gemstone encrusted creations by Dolce & Gabbana leading the way. For the gal who loves over-the-top statements, there's no shortage of dramatic details and luxe textiles to suit your every whim, from brocade & velvet to mega metallics. Everyday bags in luxe lame or shimmering sequins offer a fun twist to everything from jeans and a T-shirt to your basic work suit. And there's been a return of the "minaudiere", small ornamental evening bags. Whimsical pouches and ornate cases can offer the same wow factor that a statement necklace or earrings do.

When under the effects of this technique, an Inuzuka will display great feats of physical strength, speed, agility and endurance.

Vt. United Way giving reveals split economyBy Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | December 09,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff File Photo
Vermonts United Ways are getting creative to jump-start giving, as shown by the cheerleaders and dancers who energized the Rutland County fundraisers fall kickoff.Vermonts United Way fundraisers usually can judge the state of the economy by whos giving what. This year, however, the jury is hung.
People are still a bit hesitant to give and are holding onto their income until they are assured the economy is on the upswing, says Dawn Archbold, executive director of United Way of Lamoille County.
Then again, one contributor who pledged $3,500 last year just upped her promise to $4,000.
We have received significant increases from our largest donors and are starting to pick up some new ones, Archbold says, and that has really helped even things out.
The sentiment is echoed at United Way offices statewide. On one hand, fundraisers are finding small donors still struggling to maintain totals that havent risen since the start of the recession in 2008. On the other, a growing group of big contributors is giving more, allowing regional campaigns to bridge their money gaps and, in some cases, inch up their goals for the first time in years.
The United Way of Chittenden County, the largest of nine Vermont offices, is working to raise $3.85 million up $100,000 from what it collected last year.
In our region, the economy seems to have improved, says Martha Maksym, the Chittenden County offices executive director.
Thats good news especially as the government is considering funding cuts to balance its own budget.
The potential decrease of federal and state support for programs and services is making the role of philanthropy more critical, Maksym says.
Just north, the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way saw annual collections of nearly $600,000 drop some 20 percent in 2009 and 2010. Recent upticks in giving are allowing it to increase its year-to-year goal 5 percent to $525,000. But with St. Albans set to lose a 165-worker battery factory, fundraising in the two northwestern counties remains a challenge.
With Energizer pulling out, there will be an impact, says Sally Bortz, executive director of the Franklin-Grand Isle office. But overall, giving is going up instead of down and each year seems to feel on a stronger, more solid footing.
The United Way of Windham County is aiming to collect $500,000 the same amount as last year. Local headlines offer equal parts headache and hope, from recent layoffs at the Brattleboro Retreat, the towns largest employer, to an expansion at the nearby Commonwealth Dairy, adding as many as 34 jobs to a current workforce of 110.
Every day there is an equal amount of bad news and good news its a roller coaster, says Windham County executive director Carmen Derby. It is hard to tell where we will be at the end of the campaign.
The United Way of Addison County wants to match its 2011 goal of $700,000.
We are seeing mixed signs this year, Addison County executive director Kate McGowan says. Some donors are increasing their gifts but others are holding steady and a few significant payroll campaigns continue to decline.
The Addison County office is hoping contributors who gave $90,000 last year for Tropical Storm Irene recovery will funnel a similar amount this year into its general account. Its also asking people to try to increase their annual pledges to 125 percent to mark the 125th anniversary of the United Ways founding.
The Green Mountain United Way that serves Caledonia, Essex, Orange, Orleans and Washington counties hopes to repeat last years $600,000 take. While business giving so far is up, revenue from an annual residential mailing is down.
Im encouraged that more businesses are sounding positive, Green Mountain executive director Nancy Zorn says, but I think last years floods hurt many people and are still fresh in their minds.
The Granite United Way a New Hampshire-based office with an Upper Valley Region branch that serves Vermonts Windsor County is again aiming to reap $1 million.
We have encountered reluctance from a few companies to host workplace campaigns if they have experienced or expect layoffs, Upper Valley interim vice president Suzanne Stofflet says. On the other hand, we have added about a half dozen new workplace campaigns. It feels as if the economy is improving to me, but well know more after this.
The United Way of Rutland County, working to match last years $565,000, is stressing the importance of every contribution no matter the size.
The economy certainly continues to impact donations while the need in the community continues to grow, Rutland County executive director Traci Moore says. At a time when available resources have been stretched further than ever before, we are fortunate that our donors continue to do what they can.
The same is said statewide.
The last few years have been a challenge for all the agencies and programs we fund each is generally being asked to do more with less resources, McGowan says in Addison County. We are grateful to those who, despite experiencing economic loss or uncertainty, continue to give either at their traditional or at decreased levels.
In Lamoille County, Archbolds office is pushing forward on its $170,000 goal, even if it isnt publicizing the figure.
Were trying to focus more on the difference we make in peoples lives rather than on a dollar amount, she says. After the past several years, we want to focus on the positive. We fully understand and appreciate that people give to the best of their ability, so we treat all donations the same.

Streaking Siena Downs Binghamton for Fifth Straight Victory
from press release
LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Siena Lacrosse continued
its perfect month of March Tuesday afternoon, easily putting away
Binghamton 10-3 at Siena Turf Field. Bryan Neufeld led the way with
four goals and an assist while Danny Martinsen added a goal and a
career-high three assists for the surging Saints which have now won
five in a row.
The Saints continued to protect their home turf and are now a perfect 4-0 this season in Loudonville and have won 13 in a row overall at Siena Turf Field. The Saints have outscored their opponents by a whopping margin of 43-22 at home this year.
Siena (6-2) jumped on Binghamton (4-4) early, scoring the first three goals of the game and led 6-2 at halftime in a game that was never in doubt.
Neufeld extended the nation's longest scoring streak to 43 games with another strong showing in which he also added four groundballs.
Martinsen made nifty passes all game long and his lone goal proved to be the game-winner. John Rogener added two goals for the Saints which avenged a double overtime loss in Vestal against the Bearcats last season.
While Neufeld extended his impressive streak, another streak came to an end. Binghamton's Matt Springer, who entered the contest on a 21-game point scoring streak, was shut down by the stingy Saints' defense. Springer, who leads the America East with 19 goals, mustered only three shots and just one of which was on goal.
David Raleigh led Binghamton offensively with two goals and took 12 shots in an otherwise frustrating game for the Bearcats which were playing for the first time since the sudden resignation of their long-time head coach over the weekend.
While Binghamton scored on just three of 32 shots on the offensive end, the Saints had no trouble solving Bearcats' goalie Kraig Heston. Entering the game ranking third nationally in both goals against average and save percentage, the Saints were efficient against Heston who made just three saves and allowed nine of the 10 goals as Binghamton saw their four-game winning streak come to an abrupt end.
Meanwhile Siena goalie Tom Morr had another yeoman-like performance, making 12 saves. Morr stopped 10 of the 11 shots he faced in the second half, quarterbacking another strong effort by the Siena defense which allowed its fewest goals in the past 12 games.
The Saints aim to complete a perfect month of March when they return to action Saturday against former MAAC rival Providence. The Saints and Friars will face-off at 2 p.m. in Providence, R.I.

By unanimous vote, the Town of Cochecton Board adopted a Climate Smart Communities Pledge Resolution at its March 13 monthly meeting. The towns of Tusten, Lumberland, and Delaware have ratified similar resolutions, all of which were based on a draft resolution provided by the county. Following review by councilman Larry Richardson and supervisor Gary Maas, the draft agreement was edited to outline goals that the board considers realistic for Cochecton at this time.
The resolution focuses on six key initiatives: (1) decrease energy demand for local government operations; (2) encourage renewable energy for local government operations; (3) realize benefits of recycling and other solid waste management practices; (4) promote climate protection through community land use planning; (5) inform and inspire the public; (6) commit to an evolving process. The full text of the resolution can be found on the town's website at tinyurl.com/c88u7mg.
In response to questions during the public comment segment of the meeting, Richardson, who is also a member of Sullivan County's Climate Action Plan Advisory Board, which is encouraging all county towns to adopt a similar pledge, supplied background information regarding the origin of the pledge and the impetus behind it. He said that federal grant money is available to regions wherein a majority of local communities have demonstrated proactive commitment to green initiatives. Any grant money obtained can then be used to implement a larger and more sophisticated sustainability program.
Although the resolution marked Cochecton's first official move toward greening itself, the town has been thinking green for several years. When former Cochecton Supervisor Sal Indelicato and then-councilman Gary Maas began brainstorming a new town hall building, they knew that they wanted a state-of-the-art facility made with energy-efficient building materials, equipped with energy-efficient appliances and capable of incorporating sustainable energy systems. Three years later, that dream has been realized. The new town hall building site was selected, in part because it is conducive to a solar energy installation, and the building itself is set at odd angles with the road for the same reason—the longest portion of its roof has a south-facing exposure. The new town hall is also green in a very literal sense—all who enter by the main door are greeted by a mini-botanical garden of tropical and subtropical foliage and blooms.
And there were other green items on the agenda. Maas announced that the town's Spring Cleanup Days will be Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19. Litter pickup supplies will be dispensed at the old town hall on County Road 116 from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. each day.
Richardson, the board's Upper Delaware Council (UDC) representative, reported that the UDC is currently operating within new budgetary constraints imposed by reduced funding. The UDC is operating at 1988 budget levels, and has been forced to reduce its staff of four to three. The original plan envisioned a staff of five. A resolution in support of the "Lordville Thermal Stress Relief Protocol" was approved. This resolution supports water releases from New York City's Catskills' reservoirs to cool the waters in the main stem of the Delaware River as far south as Lordville, to relieve the stress trout experience at water temperatures above 75 degrees. This action would serve to extend downriver the excellent trout fishing in the Delaware's northern reaches.
Councilman Richard Schulman, the board's liaison with Sullivan County Office of the Aging, read an Alliance for Retired Americans fact sheet that examines the current inadequate Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) and the prospect of reduced Social Security benefits if Congress ties COLA to a smaller measure of inflation. According to the fact sheet, any COLA must take into account seniors increased spending on healthcare. Consumers are urged to support Senator Tom Harkin's Rebuild America Act, S. 2252. The same bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives DeLauro and Braley, H.R. 5727. More information can be obtained at www.retiredamericans.org [2].
Two other resolutions were approved by the board. One makes all town employees eligible for health insurance by the carrier providing the highway department employees with health insurance. The other was acceptance of the Time Warner Cable agreement. Finally, Maas announced that, while cleaning out the old town hall, a stash of records and other documents dating back to the 19th century was discovered. The find has been temporarily placed in the new town hall records vault for safekeeping, and will be turned over to town historian K.C. Garn for inclusion in the new Cochecton Town Museum to be located at the old town hall.

In addition to some interesting community events, ranging from the opening reception for new exhibits at Beeville Art Museum to a pet adoption clinic at the Beeville Animal Shelter to the Swinney Switch Volunteer Fire Department spring bazaar, are a couple of meals we can heartily recommend.
On Saturday, the First United Methodist Church will celebrate its first anniversary of offering The Table. This fellowship kitchen, presented as a gift of love to the community, prepares a hot meal every third Saturday of the month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Pastor Larry McRorey said that chefs are putting together a delicious casserole and the usual fun and fellowship await those attending; last month The Table attracted about 125 people. Again, this is open to the public without charge.
Then on Sunday, right across the street, the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department will deliver plates of mouth-watering barbecued chicken and all the trimmings to hundreds of area residents.
A longtime tradition and a wonderful cause, this event is a major fundraiser for the BVFD, with plates costing only $6 apiece.
The firefighters will greet and serve the post-church crowd and others who start lining up in their vehicles at the C.M. "Smitty" Smith Central Fire Station at City Hall at 11 a.m. and will continue serving until 2 p.m.
Ladies Auxiliary members also will sell tasty homemade cakes during the event at $5 each.
So, Bee Countians, be generous and support your amazing fire department. At some point, we all may frantically need their services.

August 21, 2013 —
The Town of Cochecton board passed two resolutions at its August 14 regular monthly meeting aimed at making Sullivan County more attractive and prosperous. One resolution endorsed pending New York State legislation designed to permit a limited number of Class III gaming facilities within the mid-Hudson region, defined to include Sullivan and Ulster counties. Another set hearing dates for review and determination of further action on decaying properties containing unsafe structures.
Supervisor Gary Maas reported that the gaming legislation had been a topic of discussion at the most recent meeting of the Sullivan County Board of Supervisors, where county officials urged supervisors to adopt resolutions supporting it as a means of economic benefit to the county and state. Noting that nearby states presently reap economic benefit from New York State residents traveling to Class III gaming facilities within those states, officials pointed out that the mid-Hudson region has long been a favorite destination of vacation and recreation travelers and is therefore a natural choice for gaming facilities. Maas announced that all of the supervisors, with one exception, were in favor of endorsement resolutions.
Class III gaming encompasses those forms of gaming normally confined to casinos, including slot machines, card games, dice games and roulette. After pointing out that gaming is not without some adverse social and economic consequences and noting that it has been historically opposed on ethical grounds by some individuals and groups, Larry Richardson cast the only negative vote.
The other resolution established September 25 at 7 p.m. as the hearing date and time for review of actions to be taken by the town with regard to certain properties containing unsafe structures. Code enforcement officer Greg Semenetz reported that an offer has been made to purchase The Pines property, and that the buyer has signaled an intention to either renovate or remove the unsafe structures on it. He also noted that there is considerable new construction in the town at this time.
In her report to the board later in the same meeting, tax collector Eileen Hennessy presented information on software currently used by other towns that enables taxpayers to use a credit card for payment of tax bills. This can be done in one of two ways: either as an online credit purchase from a home computer, or as an in-person credit purchase, in which case the card would be swiped at town hall. It may also make credit card payments possible for licensing fees, permits, fines and other municipal charges. Although a service charge is associated with each credit card payment, there would be no cost to the town; the service charge would be incurred by the taxpayer. Citing a testimonial from her counterpart in a municipality that has been using the software for the past year, Hennessy urged the town to purchase it. Maas said it sounded promising, and agreed that he and Hennessy would conduct a conference call with the software company, to determine both its suitability for town needs and its compatibility with existing town network software.
Office of the Aging liaison Richard Schulman reported that the services of a licensed family nurse practitioner are now available in Liberty and White Sulphur Springs, and that barter-type payment will be accepted from cash-strapped patients. More information about this service can be obtained by calling 845/292-9114.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Meeting minutes and information about Town of Cochecton ordinances and government can be found at www.townofco [2] chectonny.org.

Rain dampens crowds, not enthusiasm, at Telegraph fair
By Ted Friedman
The 30th annual Telegraph Avenue Holiday Street Fair opened this weekend, but crowds were sparse at times because of the rain.
Booths went up Friday morning under a light drizzle, which worsened by 1 p.m. Early Saturday afternoon, umbrellas went up during a downpour which lasted around an hour and a half. It was mostly overcast on Sunday.
"It was not a good day for me," Clifford Seely, 79, a jeweler who has been selling at the fair for 30 years, said Friday as he packed up to leave around 3 p.m.
"It was worth my time, but not as good as last year," said David (Doc) Sammon, a regular Telegraph Avenue vendor. … Continue reading »

I think the Clippers will suck forever. Gordon isn't that good. He's like Crawford except shorter and more athletic, but he doesn't have Crawford's handles.
Chalmers and Cook are just spot-up shooters. Beasley will be good, I think he's a little overrated though. They need to get some size. Jermaine O'neal will never be healthy for them.
Thunder should be good in like 3 years, once they get some size in this coming draft.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 5/20/11
This may be surprising, but there is not really much to talk about today when it comes to news from around the league. I blame the rain. Oh, and the lockout. Last Friday, we took a look at the player-led workouts from around the league, so today we'll update you on some of those teams.
Baltimore Ravens – Next week, at a workout organized by WR Derrick Mason, at least 20 Ravens will be together at Towson University from May 24-26. Mason said the focus was going to be on conditioning, and that there wouldn't be any contact.
Buffalo Bills – About 30 Bill players will meet on Monday for what is expected to be a week-long set of workouts in Buffalo. The workouts were set up by veterans such as LB Andra Davis and S George Wilson with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick expected to attend. Fitzpatrick held a small passing camp near his home in Arizona last month.
Chicago Bears – After backup QB Caleb Hanie recently said there were no plans for player-led workouts, starter Jay Cutler said he's been talking with WRs and RBs to organize a passing camp.
Denver Broncos – QB Tim Tebow, who had [...]
