The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation will sign a full funding grant agreement with the Federal Transit Administration to provide $1,550,000,000 for the Oahu rail project, according to a Congressional notification sent to the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Chairman Daniel K. Inouye, Senator Daniel K. Akaka, U.S. Representative Mazie K. Hirono and U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa announced on Monday.
By law, the FTA is required to notify Congress 30 days before it signs a full funding grant agreement. Immediately after signing the agreement, HART will receive $200 million in funding from fiscal year 2012.
The 20-mile rail line from Kapolei to Ala Moana Center is expected to cost $5.5 billion.
"This is an important step toward providing federal funding for the Honolulu Rail Transit project. We have discussed and debated the merits of a rail line on the island of Oahu for the majority of my time in the Congress and I would like to thank Peter Rogoff and the Federal Transit Administration, President Obama, and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood for partnering with the City and County of Honolulu to build a system that will alleviate traffic congestion, lessen our dependence on imported fossil fuels and provide our residents, in particular those living in West Oahu, with a much needed alternative to driving," said Sen. Inouye. "The Full Funding Grant agreement will provide$1.55 billion for the project and I will continue to work in a bipartisan fashion with my colleagues in the Congress to ensure we appropriate what is needed to complete this project in an efficient and timely manner. The path to this agreement with the federal government has not been easy, but like the construction of the H-3 Freeway for Windward Oahu residents, and significant improvements to Kalanianaole Highway for East Honolulu, the rail transit project will bring welcome relief to West Oahu residents who spend too much time stuck in traffic."
"I am so pleased that FTA and the city will be able to finalize the Full Funding Grant Agreement for the Honolulu rail project before my retirement. Administrator Rogoff's letter shows that federal government is confident the rail project is financially sound and has a realistic construction schedule. By providing a new option for Oahu commuters to avoid traffic congestion, rail will save families time and money and will reduce pollution in the air we breathe. I look forward to the rail project's completion," said Sen. Akaka.
"Today's announcement is welcome news that moves Honolulu another step closer to securing the full $1.55 billion that has been budgeted for the Rail project. This project will provide much-needed transportation options through one of the most gridlocked sections of Oahu, improving the quality of life for many Hawaii families while providing thousands of jobs. To date, this project has enjoyed strong, bipartisan support in Congress, and I expect to see this agreement reviewed and approved before the end of this year," said Congresswoman Hirono, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
"I am glad we have achieved another important milestone in the progress of the Honolulu rail project. It is an investment in improving the quality of life in our state, preserving our natural environment, and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. While it appears that there may still be matters to be finalized on the project, the fact that we continue to make progress is a testament to those in Hawaii who have maintained their commitment to addressing Honolulu's needs, as well as those in Washington--particularly Senator Inouye--who have kept federal officials' focus on the importance of rail to Honolulu. I will continue to work with Senator Inouye and the rest of Hawaii's Congressional delegation to help ensure that Hawaii can benefit fully from these funds," said Congresswoman Hanabusa.

7 years sought for Ore. man with gun at school
Prosecutors are asking a judge to send an Oregon man to prison for seven years after he was found with a loaded pistol at a school and a cache of weapons at home.
Raphael Amoroso is due in federal court Monday in Medford. He pleaded guilty in August to charges of having a gun on school grounds and being a marijuana user in possession of firearms.
The 27-year-old Grants Pass handyman has denied any intention of shooting up a high school football game the night he was arrested outside Grants Pass High School. Inside his car was a book about a sniper attack on a football game.
In recommending the sentence, prosecutors noted that Amoroso has a history of "disturbing mental perspective" and an ability to amass firearms and explosives.

Even the most experienced drivers can use a little help.
There are 38 million licensed drivers over age 65 in the U.S., a number that will probably grow to represent one-quarter of all drivers by 2024, according to AAA. That group of senior drivers faces physical and cognitive limitations that can impede their ability to drive safely.
However, the vehicles they choose to drive can go a long way toward making it easier for them to hit the road.
"There are ways to counteract the difficulties brought on by age-related changes so that seniors can maintain their safe driving abilities," said Dennis McCarthy, co-director of the National Older Driver Research and Training Center. "One of these is through proper use of particular vehicle features."
The center worked with AAA to produce "Smart Features for Mature Drivers," a brochure highlighting those features.
"The goal of 'Smart Features for Mature Drivers' is to ensure that mature drivers are comfortable in their vehicles and to keep them driving safely as long as possible," said Desiree Lanford, a driving rehabilitation specialist at the University of Florida, home of the center.
Nearly half of people ages 65 and older are affected by arthritis. When arthritis affects a person's hands, painful or stiff fingers can make simple driving tasks like buckling a seat belt, turning a key, adjusting seats and mirrors, and steering more difficult.
Those drivers can benefit from such features as thick steering wheels, which are easier to grip and handle, and keyless entry and ignitions that eliminate twisting and turning motions. Power mirrors and seats require less strength and range of motion to adjust.
The experts also recommend four-door models as opposed to two-door ones, which have longer, heavier doors that can be harder to open and close.
Limited mobility
Since general mobility can decline as people age, it's important to avoid vehicles that can make driving uncomfortable. Most often, getting in and out of the car or using the foot pedals is difficult.
Look for vehicles that have low door thresholds, six-way adjustable power seats and seat heights that come up to your mid-thigh level when standing.
"As we get older, our lower body strength starts to decline," said John Nielsen, AAA national director of auto repair and buying services. "Maybe we get arthritis in our knees or hips, and the ability to climb into a car and slide out becomes very important."
With higher seats, it's easier to climb into the vehicle and slide out as opposed to falling into the seat and having to lift yourself out, he said.
Range of motion
By the time we reach 60, our range of motion can decrease by up to 25 percent. That loss of flexibility can make it harder to turn to check blind spots, merge or back up. It can also make reaching for and buckling a seatbelt difficult.
Drivers suffering from limited upper body range of motion can benefit from large, wide-angle mirrors that minimize blind spots, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel that allows for more comfortable seating positions and heated seats with lumbar support.
The most common vision problems experienced by older drivers include cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma. While vehicle features cannot necessarily overcome the affects of these diseases, drivers can benefit from a few features that they may overlook when shopping for a new car.
Such drivers will find extendable sun visors helpful in preventing glare, along with larger audio and climate controls with contrasting text, which are easier to see.
Short drivers
As we age, many of us tend to shrink a few inches due to osteoporosis. That loss of height can prove troublesome for senior drivers, as looking over the steering wheel or reaching the pedals can become more difficult.
It's especially a problem if people are forced to sit too close to the steering wheel -- and the airbag mounted inside it. Along with adjustable seats and tilting and a telescoping steering wheel, another feature that can help is adjustable foot pedals.

TV Dinner: Pasta & Bagna Cauda Sauce
Chef Chris Manning cooks up pasta with bagna cauda sauce.
It's a blend of butter, olive oil, garlic and anchovies.
He used shrimp and scallops in this recipe. He seared them after coating them with olive oil.
For the sauce, on low heat, melt a half stick of butter and a quarter cup of olive oil.
Once the butter melts, add three cloves of minced garlic and a teaspoon of minced anchovies. Let that simmer, add a little salt and pepper.
Put the seafood over pasta, pour sauce over it and add grated asiago cheese.

Two charged for rape, sexual abuse of 12-yr old girl
Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division arrested two men charged with felony counts in connection with a sexual case involving a young girl in two separate cases.
The two men made their initial appearances in the District Court earlier this week before District Court Judge Elvis Patea.
According to the government's case, the incidents came to light when the victim ran away from home.
Court filings state that on March 8, 2012 the victim's cousin walked into the Central Police Station filing a complaint that the victim, who was later identified as a 14-year old female, had run away home five days earlier.
The cousin who filed the missing person's complaint gave police a tip on the whereabouts of the victim, who was staying at a deserted building in Pava'ia'i. Police proceeded to the place in question and found the victim, where they asked her why she had run away from home.
She told police she did not wish to return home because her brother always beats her if she did something wrong. The victim also told police that a sexual incident had started between her and "John" also known as Lemisio Taetuli when she was 12 years old.
The victim further told police that her uncle, who was 32 years old, always touched her inappropriately and forced her to have sex with him.
Samoa News is withholding the uncle's name to protect the identity of the victim.
Taetuli who's being held on bail of $50,000 is charged with rape, sodomy with a child, deviate sexual assault with a child, sexual abuse first degree and endangering the welfare of a child.
The rape and sodomy counts are class B felonies which are punishable by imprisonment for five to fifteen years in jail; the deviate count is a class C felony which carries a jail term up to seven years and a fine of up to $20,000 or both.
The sexual abuse charge is a class D felony and is punishable up to five years, a fine of $5,000 or both, while the endangering the welfare of child is a class A misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $1,000 or both.
According to the government's case, between August 2009 and February 2012 Taetuli performed oral sex on her and they had sexual intercourse on many occasions.
According to court documents, Taetuli is the victim's neighbor and family friend, and that a police officer, who is also Taetuli's neighbor told the investigating officer that Taetuli told the officer he had had sex with the victim.
Court documents say the victim told police that when she was an eighth grader the defendant forced her to perform oral sex on him in the bathroom, causing her to vomit, then afterwards gave her $20 and told the victim not to tell anyone.
According to the government's case the defendant then had sexual intercourse with the victim many times, either in the bathroom or in Taetuli's bedroom. The victim told police the last time she had sexual intercourse with Taetuli was February 2012.
Court documents state that when police questioned Taetuli, he admitted to police that he had oral sex and sexual intercourse with the victim when she was 12 years of age. It's alleged he also admitted that he gave the victim money after they had sexual intercourse or oral sex.
Taetuli is alleged to have told police that the last time he had sex with the victim was during holiday school break in 2011.
In the government's case against the uncle, the victim told police that between September and November 2009 she felt someone touching her breast while she was sleeping. The victim said when she woke up she saw her uncle touching her inappropriately, and then she woke her grandmother who was sleeping next to her.
The government claims, when the grandmother woke up, the uncle was still sitting on the bed, and he apologized for his actions to the victim and grandmother, however the grandmother scolded him and chased him out of the house.
According to the government's case, the second incident occurred between August and September 2010, where the uncle forced the victim to have sexual intercourse and they continued to have sexual intercourse many times after the second incident.
The victim told police the last time she had sex with the Uncle was in January 2012.
According to the government's case the uncle initially denied having sexual intercourse when police contacted the uncle, who spontaneously said he had only touched the victim's breast several years back.
But, eventually the uncle admitted to having sex with his niece in January 2012. The uncle who's held on bail $25,000 is charged with rape, sexual abuse first degree and endangering the welfare of a child.
The rape count is a class B felony punishable from five to 15 years in jail, the sexual abuse charge is a class D felony which carries a jail term of up to five years in jail a fine of up to $5,000 or both, while the endangering the welfare of a child is a class A misdemeanor punishable up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $1,000 or both.
The defendants are both represented by the Public Defender's office while prosecuting are Deputy Attorney General Mitzie Jessop and Assistant Attorney General Camille Phillippe.
The preliminary examination hearing for the defendants are scheduled later on this week.

Andrea Bargnani
Danilo Gallinari
They are both very overrated.
David Lee and the Knicks
19 points per game, 10.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, .3 blocks
Chris Bosh and the Raptors
24.0 points per game, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 blocks
The Raptors are currently on a 2 game losing streak. With a win, they will reach .500. The Eastern Conference is so weak, a .500 record will likely guarantee a playoff berth.
The Knicks are currently 1.5 games out of 8th place. A Knick win and a Chicago loss will get the Knicks within .5 games of the 8th and final playoff spot.

Last night I cheered for Boston for the first time in my life because they were playing The Bulls and a Bulls loss and a Knick win tonight would have given us the 8th spot, and The Celtics let me down so I hate them even more today!
Go Knicks!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Good game thread. I'm thinking that Gallo is going to drop a career high tonight. I mean it is Italian Heritage Night. Lol. We really need to come out with this win tonight. Let's go Knicks !
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
Whoa! I never knew that the Raptors were this good of a basketball team.How come people never mention them as one of the top 3 teams in the Easten Conference?
They are NOT a top 3 team and maybe thats why nobody mentioned them as such.
Why do they look this good if they're not a top Eastern Conference team?
Because the Knicks are playing the worst defense in a long time and can't hit a shot for their life. Very disappointed with this start. This is horrible.
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
Looks like the only Italian celebrating Italian Heritage night is Bargnani. What is it with these big Italians that shoot 3s better than they can dunk.
There are a few positives to look at in this performance so far.
1.The Raptors are making the country of Canada feel proud.
2.Chris Bosh will sleep well tonight after this blow out.
3.The Utah Jazz will be one step closer to getting a good first round draft pick.
4.Andrea Bargnani is shining for the people of his country on Italian heritage night.
5.The Knicks could start worrying about the Pistons at half time.
Never realized Duhon was that slow. I think I could stay in front of him one on one. He's got to be gone next year, D'ants of all people has to see that Duhon is 2nd rate after coaching Steve Nash.
I wish that letting go of Duhon was an option.But the truth is that acquring a replacement point guard in the NBA is a rare commodity.
If you can't play Curry, Hill, Douglas, Hughes when your going down by 30 at halftime, your just being a jerk. One, fans don't like to hear all the problems a coach is having, it's like 4th grade and he can't control the classroom. Walsh is going to have a hard time. Other GM's don't want to get a player that is getting into it with a coach, and DA is growing the list every week. Robinson, Curry, Hughes, soon Hill, hey, your getting half the bench.
I sort of liked the guy, when he was trying everything and with some defense, he mastered a good December, but as I thought, he has lost this team for the year with the head games, DNP's, sitting players when they could and want to contribute. You don't even give them a chance. This guy, and his high school basketball coach brother need to head back to WV. He is not going to be too attractive to players boys, if your looking for 2010, you don't get arguments in the press and they are coming big time. Agents are making quotes, trades asked for and we are not even at the All Star Break.
Lee is driving his price up, Gallo is the only one that may develop, but not into the best shooter a pro head coach ever saw, please.
He said his brother was great addition, with all his high school experience with the young players like Hill and Lee. One, Lee had a better coach with KV at Chaminade in high school, a tad better coach with Billy D in Florida, I don't think he needs the head coaches brother with only a career high school coach. Yes, that was a quote from coach DA, wonder what the brother pulls down?
Two, I don't see our top draft pick averaging over 5 minutes a game this year. First you screw up the team chemistry, next it will be the media (and New York dishes out better than anywhere), then, like us fans, we will tune out. Watching a group that doesn't get along our has tension all over it is not entertainment. Look at the faces during the time outs and down the bench. Some are talking to each other and laughing, he has lost his troops. Curry, Hughes, Robinson, Harrington, Jeffries, Hill they are thinking about, who will I be for next year. Hill is wondering if this is it. All got miles left on them though, no, not superstars, but surely off the bench players that many teams will use. The older guys may play for a couple million, not bad work if you can get it. Look want A.I. is making, the just want to play and win.
Time for Datline, then read the boxscore, I am sure Duhon got his 30 plus minutes, Gallo also, even if they are having a terrible night. Don't want to be fair weather, but this year is getting more ugly by the week.
Going to Canada, is like taking a big cut in pay, no major league baseball or NBA basketball player doesn't want to be there very long, so team turnover rates are the highest.
I believe the Blue Jays one a world series, with some veterans back in the nineties, Andre Dawson rings a bell. Hockey, well they own that, but even the superstars will come south for the salary boost sometime in their career. Back to 48 hours, I can't watch. Sorry about the long rant.

Mid-Seventies Phlashback – Man-Perm Alert!
Another slow day baseball-wise, so I'm continuing my fond (or not-so-fond, whichever the case may be) look back in time. I've decided to combine 1974 and 1975 into one entry, to speed things along.
By 1974, the price of the Phillies magazine/program had gone up by a whole dime, from 50 cents to 60 cents. Instead of the fun pop-art cover of 1973, we now have something that looks like it could have been created by the semi-talented child of a member of the Phillies' front office:
Another change from 1973 is the appearance of an advertisement on the front of the magazine. Really, they couldn't have squeezed this one inside somewhere? I hope the team squeezed mega-bucks out of Gino's for such prime placement.
Ticket prices for the field boxes have also gone up slightly from 1973, though the terrace and loge boxes actually went down in price. Other seating options remained the same:
Gone is the Phillies Family Album with its delightfully corny photos. Darn! But looking at the player photos is still fun. Mike Schmidt has now decided to grow the mustache that we all are so familiar with:
Judging by this picture, no one told Jim Lonborg it was photo day. He looks like he has a very bad case of bed-head:
According to the accompanying text, Lonborg suffered one of those classic freak injuries, breaking his toe by stubbing it against a hotel bed in Pittsburgh. A good attorney should be able to find a lawsuit in there somewhere.🙂
The '74 Phillies were an improvement over the previous season – they finished in third place in the NL East with a 80-82 record. Four of the five primary starters remained the same from 1973, the only change being Ron Schueler in place of Ken Brett. Seven of the eight position players also remained unchanged, with Dave Cash taking over second base from Denny Doyle.
Things continued to look up in 1975. The Phillies would go 86-76 to finish second in the division. Ticket prices remained unchanged, as well as the price of the magazine/program, which was graced by improved artwork:
The cover still contains advertising, this time for the brand-spankin' new AMC Pacer, everyone's favorite "fishbowl" car. Lauded at the time as a "car of the future," it is, in my opinion, one of the ugliest vehicles ever.
1975 saw the arrival of some new faces, such as outfielders Garry Maddox and Jay Johnstone, catcher Johnny Oates, and relief pitcher Tug McGraw. Dick Allen returned to the Phils after a five-year hiatus with several other teams.
1975 also saw the arrival of the regrettable man-perm to the Phillies. This look was sported by not one, not two, but three members of the squad:
I wonder if they ever look back upon this, and think to themselves, "What was I thinking?"
Bad hairdos aside, things would continue to improve for the Phillies, who would win the NL East the next three seasons (1976-1978). Due to unknown reasons, there were no programs from 1976 or 1977 in my husband's trove of stuff. So next time I'll jump ahead to 1978.

Ruthven and Schmidt look very similar, hair and all–same toothy fake grin, same mustache…
Hutton just looks kind of crazy.
I remember AMC/ Jeep! Never drove or rode in one–I am pretty glad of that! I think the Yugo compared in car ugliness, but those were no gems! The first photo of Schmidt looks a lot better, esp. with the 'stache. Happily, Lonborg did not have that sort of man-perm while with the Red Sox–that would have been slightly blinding! But we had some wacky 'fros and 'dos of our own! Hmmm!…
Thanks! Take care Sue!
Those man-perms are hilarious! I forgot how the players used to have them. And you're so right about the Pacer – the ugliest car ever, not to mention a piece of junk. Such fun looking back at the good/bad old days.
Love the "Official Car of the Phillies".
Driving in one of those cars was like driving in an upside down fish bowl with wheels. Guess the 2010 car will be the Hummer2.
Hey! Those perms came from hairdressers trying to do body waves in thin hair and the hair rejected the chemicals…….Just saying, some guys did not want man-fros, but we had to dig them until they grew out…………I was a victim of this heinous crime (lol).
Bell Bottom, hair fro and wide lapels. Yep, I was struttin' to prom………..NOT!

This is so much fun. Unfortunately I only have programs from the late 79 on. Back in the days I used to love Steve Carlton even with the attitutude toward the media. I just thought he was great.
Who is the Dodger in the cover? It can't be Bobby Welch, he came later. Maybe Burt Hooton? hmm.
Hey! Chicken and Wafles sound weird but is a good combo. Why not? You can eat Chicken and biscuit . My aunt Nora says I make better waffles but then again she is bias but I do make lots of weekends. I just finished making some with pumpkin and bananas.
I do remember friends driving the Pacer. Man, that is way back! My first car was a used Pinto hutchback.
Thanks Sue! I did not noticed Sutton's name next to it. Like I told you my eyes went to Steve Carlton and for Sutton I expected an afro. I guess he started sporting that when I started following baseball late 70's
Caroline – You're right, Schmidt and Ruthven do kind of look alike. Kind of scary.
Greg – The Yugo! I'd forgotten about those! There sure were some baaad cars back then.
Jane – Glad to provide some amusement for your day!
Renegade – So you sported a man-perm back in the day? Maybe you should post some in your blog, if you dare.😉
Emma – Yeah, Sutton must have been a little late to the whole man-perm scene. You'll have to try to dig up some late 70s/early 80s Dodgers 'dos for us.
Wow! The Bad-Hair-Meter is jumping off the charts! And those ticket prices just irk the hell outta me… I know the value of a dollar was different back then, but still… love these phlashbacks… nice work, Sue!
Sue, I got a kick out of your comments to Emma about the chicken and waffles idea at Roscoe's. I lived in SoCal for 5 years, and my wife convinced me to try it. I was skeptical, but she loves the combo, and she was right–she convinced me! I'd go back to Roscoe's again were I back in SoCal!😉 Take care, Sue!
Cat – Glad you enjoyed them!
Jeff – Thanks, I've still got 1978 and 1979 coming. Isn't it amazing how inexpensive tickets were then?
Greg – I guess if I'm ever in the L.A. area, I'm going to have to try this chicken and waffle combo, seeing how you and Emma both give it the thumbs-up.
Ya, it has gotta hard for an artist to be filling in all those mustaches and hair. lol. At least Ronald McDonald is still maintaining the integrity of that look. Awesome throwback photos.
It was High School.
And I am past the "Gene Wilder" look in "Stir Crazy" nowadays.
But I might just see if I can pop on my Senior Picture……..It will make the ladies drool and the men vomit lol
Rays Renegade
Jenn – Scary is right! Thank goodness that look went away.
welikeroy – Ronald McDonald, yeah he's pretty scary looking too. Thanks for stopping by!
Renegade – Now I'm really trying to imagine what this picture looks like! Make it your profile pic for a day (or two…).
Ah yes, I remember Gino. Mainly because they use to sell the Colonel's chicken.😉 They also had good burgers. Man, how I miss them.
Now I am really sad, since I had the Phillies yearbook from 1972-1982, mainly because I was able to get them from the local MAB paint store.
Better be careful. I might make you really nastalgic.😉

The county board will have at least two new faces. One of the sitting commissioners was ousted in the May primary, and one isnŌĆÖt seeking re-election. With two of the seats facing no competition from incumbents, itŌĆÖs more difficult than normal for political observers to predict the potential outcome.
The race for chairman of the county commissioners ŌĆö elected separately from the four commissioner seats ŌĆö is attracting lots of attention. Both candidates have served in the seat before and have name recognition as county leaders. Glenn Jones has been chairman since 2002 and is running for re-election. Jim Douthit was chairman for four years before Jones, but chose not to seek re-election in 2002 due to a promotion at work that required more of his time. Now the two are squaring off against one another.
Swain County commissioner chairman: two candidates running for one seat
Glenn Jones, 66, Democrat. Retired A&P grocery manager
Jones said he wants to continue with the progress of the last four years. Under JonesŌĆÖ leadership, the current board of county commissioners has pursued numerous improvements and initiatives that have equipped the county to provide better services to residents in the 21st century.
ŌĆ£These were things that needed to be done and we tackled it as a board,ŌĆØ Jones said. ŌĆ£We are in charge of running the county and these are things we thought needed to be done so we just stepped up to the plate and did what we needed to do.ŌĆØ
Here are some of the accomplishments of JonesŌĆÖ first term.
ŌĆó New building and offices for the Department of Social Services. The county got a deal on the old Smoky Mountain Mental Health building.
ŌĆó New building and offices for the Health Department. The county relocated the health department to a building next door to Swain County Hospital.
ŌĆó New EMS building. The county built a new headquarters for emergency management services.
ŌĆó New recycling center that has proven to be a model facility. ŌĆ£People come from all over the state looking at the recycling center to model it after us.ŌĆØ In addition, the parking lot where trash is dumped was paved so people donŌĆÖt get their shoes messy when dropping off trash.
ŌĆó The county switched the way it handles trash. Instead of using a landfill locally, trash is shipped to Georgia, which cut costs nearly in half.
ŌĆó Bought land for a new jail and sheriffŌĆÖs office. Construction is under way to replace the dilapidated jail. The county got a low-interest 40-year federal loan. The new facility will also include 911 dispatch services.
ŌĆó Bought land for a new senior citizens center building. It will be moved out of its current location in the historic courthouse, which is not easily accessible.
ŌĆó Bought land for the school system. It will be used for a new middle school and the existing middle school will be turned into a new elementary school.
ŌĆó Repaired the swimming pool.
ŌĆó Numerous recreation improvements, such as a new playground, new soccer fields, new lights on the girls softball field, concession stand at the girls softball field. The girlŌĆÖs softball field can now host state tournaments, which is an economic benefit to the county.
ŌĆó Raised salaries for county employees.
ŌĆó Facilitated economic development incentives for Consolidated Metco, which led to the addition to 150 jobs in the county.
ŌĆó Added a four-acre site to the industrial park with broadband Internet access currently being marketed to recruit new business to locate to Swain County.
While JonesŌĆÖ challenger is questioning county spending, Jones said the projects were overdue.
ŌĆ£When we took over we had buildings that were leaking. There had been no work done on the pool in 20 years. There had been no work done on the playground in 20 years.ŌĆØ And the jail was in danger of being condemned it was in such disrepair. Many of the projects were aided by grants.
ŌĆ£I think most people would like to see us continue with the progress we have been making,ŌĆØ Jones said.
In the annual independent audit three months ago, the auditor commended the board of commissioners on the best report the county ever had and saw no issues with the countyŌĆÖs debt load. In addition, the county has the fourth lowest tax rate in the state of North Carolina, running counter to claims by Republican challengers criticizing county spending and the tax rate.
Jim Douthit, 56, Republican. Utility line designer with Duke Energy
Douthit served as county commissioner from 1998 to 2002. He was also on the school board for eight years.
Douthit said one of his top concerns is the level of county spending. He said he wants to restrain spending. It will be tough, however, because the current board of commissioners have saddled the county with debt, he said.
ŌĆ£I think they have overspent. They have lost the trust of the public,ŌĆØ Douthit said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve done a lot but sooner or later the debt will pull us down. Whoever is on that new board, they are going to have to control spending now. They are going to be paying off tremendous debt. Our credit card is maxed out.ŌĆØ
One purchase Douthit questioned was the selection of a new site for the jail and sheriffŌĆÖs office. The county selected a site across the street from IngleŌĆÖs grocery store.
ŌĆ£That came with a high price tag,ŌĆØ Douthit said of the prime commercial property.
Other sites were available outside of town that would have been far cheaper and were located near an exit off U.S. 23-74, thereby giving deputies quick access to the four-lane highway running through the county. Plus the land was flat instead of sloped, so building would have been cheaper.
ŌĆ£They took prime commercial real estate in the town of Bryson City. The town lost that potential tax base. That was unfair to the town to have it there,ŌĆØ Douthit said. ŌĆ£They could have bought land outside the city limits that was cheaper.ŌĆØ
In addition, Douthit questioned whether the county is overbuilding the new jail and sheriffŌĆÖs office. It will cost $10 million. Haywood County built a new jail and sheriffŌĆÖs office for $12 million, and Haywood has more than twice the population of Swain.
Douthit has also questioned the purchase of 45 acres of land for $2.5 million for new school expansion. Douthit said the price tag was far too high for that acreage.
Douthit, along with Republican candidates running for commissioner, is questioning the property revaluation conducted last year.
ŌĆ£I think there were some flaws in that process. I think it needs to be reviewed,ŌĆØ Douthit said.
It was the first revaluation the county had done in eight years to reconcile property values on the books with actual market value for property tax purposes. The county decided to go from an eight-year to four-year cycle to reduce the sticker shock of long time spans between revaluations. Douthit disagrees with that.
ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt matter when it is, youŌĆÖre going to have sticker shock. I think with all the spending theyŌĆÖve done they are looking to get revenue quicker,ŌĆØ Douthit said.
Douthit said one of the proudest accomplishments of his term as chairman was supporting the preservation of the 4,400-acre Needmore tract.
ŌĆ£We preserved that for the community for everyone to use and enjoy without having a no trespassing sign on it,ŌĆØ Douthit said.
The Lemmons Branch boat dock and the Old 288 Park were both launched during his term. Zickgraff Lumber, with more than 100 jobs, was recruited during his term by then EDC director Ronnie Barker. The old Pepsi building was purchased to provide an indoor youth recreation facility.
Swain County board of commissioners: seven candidates running for four seats
David Monteith, 59, Democrat. Retired manager from Ingles grocery store, currently works as a school bus driver
Monteith has been a commissioner for eight years. Monteith has been skilled at coordinating special projects to improve outdoor recreation. Monteith was instrumental in securing grants and developing a system for clearing up houseboat wastewater previously dumped straight into Lake Fontana. He also spearheaded improvements the Old 288 Park, from securing federal grants for lights, bathrooms, picnic facilities and a boat ramp to working alongside inmate labor to build a trail system at the park. His latest project is coordinating grants for a park along the Tuckasegee River outside Bryson that will have canoe/kayak put-ins, restrooms, horse stables, a pavilion and handicap fishing trails
Monteith said he is now lobbying for grants for an assisted living center as his ŌĆ£next big project.ŌĆØ While it would be a private enterprise, Monteith believes the county can recruit an assisted living center by facilitating grants and locating a site.
ŌĆ£I feel assured we can make that happen here,ŌĆØ Monteith said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm going to do it or IŌĆÖm not going to start it.ŌĆØ
Monteith said his community activism and involvement sets him apart.
ŌĆ£I have not seen the other commissioners out doing projects, period,ŌĆØ Monteith said. ŌĆ£They need to do more than just go to the meetings and vote ŌĆśyeaŌĆÖ or ŌĆśnay.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Monteith also advocates a board that is more responsive to the public.
ŌĆ£They should be more concerned with what the public wants them to do than they are about politics,ŌĆØ Monteith said.
Monteith voted against the tax rate and the budget last year, claiming the tax rate was not lowered enough to offset the impact from a property revaluation.
ŌĆ£We can tighten our belt and not wasteful spend our money,ŌĆØ Monteith said.
Steve Moon, 55, Democrat. Owner of Steve Moon Tire Co.
Moon said he does not have any particular issues that inspired him to run or initiatives he wants to address as a commissioner.
ŌĆ£I am not a one-issue candidate,ŌĆØ Moon said. ŌĆ£I feel like the county has been good to me. I love the county and the people here and I want to give back.ŌĆØ
Moon said he was persuaded to run after being asked by Democratic Party leaders.
Moon is one of the most accessible candidates. Citizens can find him at his tire and automotive store nearly every day of the week. There are vacant chairs in the waiting room for anyone wanting to talk.
While there is dissatisfaction among many over the effects last yearŌĆÖs property revaluation had on their taxes, Moon said he doesnŌĆÖt know what the commissioners could have done about it.
ŌĆ£It had to come. The sitting commissioners usually suffer because of it but it had to come. ItŌĆÖs a fact of life,ŌĆØ Moon said.
Moon has served two terms on the school board. The county recently bought 45 acres outside Bryson City to build a new middle school and central office. The existing middle school will be renovated for a new elementary school. Those projects will likely get under way in the next four years and will require cooperation between the commissioners and school board. Moon said his experience on the school board will make him a good asset.
ŌĆ£I would be supportive to the needs of the school board. I feel like I have made good friends in the school system and on the school board,ŌĆØ Moon said
Moon said he would support a local contribution to boost teacher salaries over and above what the state pays, a practice increasingly used by counties to compete for scarce teachers.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre going to have to,ŌĆØ Moon said of these salary supplements. ŌĆ£We are losing too many good teachers to other places because of that.ŌĆØ
Phillip Carson, 43, Democrat. Plumber with family business
Carson did not return numerous phone calls left over several days in time to be interviewed for this story. These comments are from an interview six months ago during the May primary election.
Carson said he doesnŌĆÖt have a specific platform.
ŌĆ£I am not a politician. I am just an honest, hard-working person.ŌĆØ
Unlike some challengers, Carson said he does not have an issue with the property revaluations or the tax rate.
ŌĆ£I think everybodyŌĆÖs taxes increased because our property value increased. It had been so long since the last reval it caught everybody off guard,ŌĆØ Carson said. ŌĆ£I think it would help our elderly, but for continued growth you canŌĆÖt cut it too low, because what is going to make up the budget?ŌĆØ
Genevieve Lindsay, 65, Democrat. Former register of deeds and tax collector and assessor
Lindsay has been a commissioner for four years. She did not return phone calls to be interviewed for this article. These comments are from an interview six months ago during the May primary election.
ŌĆ£We have accomplished so much during the past four years and there is still a lot of things we would like to complete. The one dark spot is the revaluation, but we had to have it by law. Considering everything, I think we have been able to keep the tax rate relatively low and been as fair and honest as we knew how to be with it,ŌĆØ Lindsay said. Lindsay said it would have been impossible to lower the tax rate any more following the revaluation and still accomplish things the county needed
ŌĆ£I know there is tremendous growth as far as people moving into the county putting strain and stress on all the agencies. With each decision I have to make, I think about all the people out there, the entire county.ŌĆØ
Mike Clampitt, 51, Republican. Retired fireman
Clampitt, whose family owns the Clampitt Hardware store on Main Street in Bryson City, is a newcomer to politics. Clampitt worked for the Charlotte Fire Department until a few years ago when he moved back home.
ŌĆ£My dream was always to return, but I had to go away to make a living,ŌĆØ Clampitt said. Clampitt said that despite being gone for many years he has good name recognition through his family.
Clampitt, along with other Republican candidates, is questioning what he considers liberal spending habits of the current board.
ŌĆ£With the extensive spending they have been doing lately, they obviously have more money than they know what to do with,ŌĆØ Clampitt said. ŌĆ£I think we need a review of current spending.ŌĆØ
Clampitt also takes issue with the way the property revaluation was handled last year. The periodic countywide property revaluation was conducted last year, as required by state law, to bring properties up to market value for property tax purposes. But it wasnŌĆÖt done right, resulting in ŌĆ£inequities,ŌĆØ Clampitt said. The property revaluation wasnŌĆÖt thorough enough, and as a result properties were misvalued.
ŌĆ£They didnŌĆÖt do enough legwork,ŌĆØ Clampitt said. ŌĆ£They made it easy on themselves by using what was on paper.ŌĆØ
In other words, instead of inspecting each property in person, assumptions were made, Clampitt said.
Clampitt, along with other Republican candidates, made a concerted effort to reach out to Cherokee voters this year. The Cherokee voting block has not been actively catered to in previous elections, but a Cherokee candidate who ran in the primary, Ben Bushyhead, brought relations with the tribe to the forefront of the elections.
ŌĆ£I think the relations between the tribe and Swain County could be better. ItŌĆÖs not placing blame on either group but more should be done to work together in a concerted effort,ŌĆØ Clampitt said.
Clampitt said he supports Cherokee voters having their own precinct. There is no voting place on the reservation. Some residents of Cherokee are 20 miles from the closest precinct in Whittier.
James King, 53, Republican. Co-owner of K&B Meat Processing
Like other Republican candidates, King is calling for a reining in of government spending.
ŌĆ£I think we need to find out what is costing the county so much,ŌĆØ King said. King questioned whether there is unnecessary spending. Also like other challengers, King criticized the property revaluation conducted last year. Property taxes are increasingly difficult on landowners who donŌĆÖt want to sell out to developers, he said
ŌĆ£Things are changing so drastically around us. The taxes have gotten to where itŌĆÖs eating the local people up,ŌĆØ King said.
King said he wants to be more responsive as a commissioner.
ŌĆ£As far as coming out into the community and talking to the people, there seems to be very little,ŌĆØ King said. ŌĆ£I think there needs to be more community involvement. I am a community type person.ŌĆØ
King is also one of the candidates who has promoted himself to Cherokee voters with campaign events and appearing on tribal television before the tribal council.
During the filing period for candidates in February, King was registered as an Independent. To get on the ballot as an Independent, he would have needed a petition with several hundred signatures. So a Republican, Dale Hogue, signed up to run for commissioner. Hogue then withdrew and the party appointed King to take his place on the ballot.
Deborah Ramsey Patterson, 46, Republican. Retired supervisor of federal subsidized housing program
Patterson said she was inspired to run after expressing concerns at a county meeting last year and getting what she considered a poor response from commissioners. Patterson attended the meeting to complain about the property revaluation. She disagreed with the method used to calculate property values, namely that each property was not appraised individually but instead was pigeon-holed into a flawed formula.
ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt think the commissioners did due diligence,ŌĆØ she said.
When she went to speak to the board about the revaluation, she said she felt like commissioners brushed off her concerns and did not treat her respectfully as a constituent.
For example, PattersonŌĆÖs property was assigned an extra $25,000 for her view while her neighbors saw no additional property value tacked on for proximity to a creek, a feature that some would consider an equal perk when it comes to property values.
Patterson takes issue with a sort of cronyism in county government. For example, instead of appointing people to county boards based on their merits and conducting an open application process, the commissioners usually hand-pick people they know, she said.
Patterson, who was born in Highlands but left during childhood, moved here from Florida five years ago. Patterson is the only candidate who doesnŌĆÖt tout being ŌĆ£born and raisedŌĆØ in Swain County. Patterson said she is tired of feeling like a second-class citizen or that she doesnŌĆÖt really count because she isnŌĆÖt from here originally.
ŌĆ£You live here, work here, pay taxes here, you are a part of Swain County, period,ŌĆØ Patterson said. ŌĆ£To me, everyone is welcome. We canŌĆÖt continue to run this county as we did 50 years ago.ŌĆØ
Patterson said there are a lot of initiatives she would like to pursue, such as increasing the salaries of county staff to a competitive pay scale to creating a staffed animal control center to deal with strays and nuisance animals, and addressing roadside litter.

My baby is 9 1/2 weeks and my supply has suddenly dropped significantly. I think it is a combination of the supply regulating and maybe a growth spurt following illness on her side, but it seems supply has overregulated and i am suddenly suffering from undersupply? is this even possible from one day to the next?
i had major oversupply/engorged breasts/OAL etc the first 8 weeks. a week ago baby fell ill with fever and slept most of the day, so she drank significantly less, but only for 2-3 days, then went back to normal. I also had fever for a couple of days after but milk supply was fine. I was getting worried as I didn't get any sleep and had fever but it seemed ok. On Sunday afternoon when i fed her it was still too much milk, I only needed one breast per feed (as I have done block feeding for the last weeks) and she was very full and content after the feed.
On Sunday evening I had a glass of champagne for a celebratory dinner and after when I was going to do the evening feed I realised my breasts hadn't refilled at all. There was hardly any milk (maybe 80-100ml or so but definitely absolutely not enough to get her to sleep. she finally slept by about 1am or so after i kept switching from one breast to the next.
yesterday i expressed 120ml in the morning from one breast which was quite easy and made me think there was no problem after all - but then she woke up early and wanted to feed again, i kept switching from breast to breast and it just wasn't enough, so i ended up giving her 40ml from what i had expressed and kept 80ml as a top up for the night. despite this top up and constantly feeding from both breasts, it was absolutely not enough and again she was up till after midnight, and fell asleep more from exhaustion than bc she wasn't hungry anymore.
so this morning i expressed 190ml from one breast on two sessions (i know - makes you think there is no issue of supply but trust me!) and she slept well in the morning so the breasts should have had time to refill. I have already had to use 40ml as a top up again and only have 150ml as a top up for the night.
I am getting very worried about my supply. it seems like except for the morning, the rest of the day there absolutely isn't enough milk. Is it possible to go from oversupply to a lack up supply in a matter of days when milk regulates? I am extremely tempted to buy formula to have an emergency supply in the house but also don't want to go down that route in case this is a growth spurt.
i am trying constant feeding, eating and drinking a lot, resting etc but i still feel like supply dries up in the evening. what can i do? should i go to the doctor?

A Waukesha County sheriff's deputy has shot a man inside a Delafield home.
The sheriff's office says it got a call at 1:50 p.m. Tuesday from a woman in the house. She said a 31-year-old relative of hers was suicidal and had a shotgun. She said he had fired at least one shot.
When deputies arrived, they ordered the man to drop the shotgun. The sheriff's office says when he refused, a deputy shot him.
The man was taken to Froedtert Hospital. His condition is unknown.
WISN-TV reports the woman in the home and the deputy, a 22-year veteran of the force, were not hurt.
Walworth County will investigate the case.
