A foggy day
December 23, 2013 —
Well, Christmas has come and gone. The New Year is upon us and yet… I'm still in a fog, both literally and figuratively. Attempting to navigate the roads here in the Upper Delaware River Valley has been a challenge of late. The social network has been buzzing about the holidays (and the many events leading up to same), but it's the weather that has taken center stage for the last week or so.
Like most things in life, the fog has its ups and downs. Beautiful and mysterious, it's also malevolent and dangerous at times—in other words, a decent metaphor for life. With only a few precious minutes left in which to complete my list of resolutions, I'm a bit foggy on which direction to take.
Naturally, I want to take the high road, but that's the one most likely to have dangerous curves and pitfalls along the way, and there are times that I'd rather steer clear of obstacles altogether. I'm pretty good at procrastinating, but observing the passage of time often gives me a swift kick, propelling me into action, so with that in mind… I'm still mulling it over.
I'm not big on regret, so scratching that off my list was easy.
Planning for the future has never been my strong suit either, so I'm aiming to stay the course and create goals without attachment to them, in hopes that I might be able to "go with the flow" in the coming months. Lest I get too far ahead of myself, I'm still thinking about where I've been, rather than where I'm going and that helps keep me grounded (whether I can actually see it or not.)
It's not unusual to see "snow dates" scheduled for concerts at this time of year and the intensity of last week's storm was enough to postpone the WJFF "Musical Extravaganza" until last Saturday. The fog was so thick that I checked in with station manager Adam Weinreich (www.wjffradio.org) who assured me that the show would go on "come hell or high water," so off I went, snaking my way through the fog, making sure to see the forest for the trees. Afraid that the mist would keep revelers away proved to be unfounded as the Delaware Youth Center in Callicoon, NY opened its doors to what turned out to be a packed house and soon enough, the joint (www.delawareyouthcenter.org) was jumpin'.

Thinking of a new 5wt
After my trip to the Clinch on Sunday I have decided I need to get a 5wt rod. I have casted a friends 9' Z-axis, it is great, much better than my SP and it pretty much had me sold 6 months ago.
Then I started reading about the St. Croix Legend Elites and others using the new 3M technology and was wondering peoples thoughts that may have casted both of these rods and could compare them for me. I for sure would not buy one without taking one out for a spin but at this point I am just looking for general opinions and I figured this would be the best place to get them.
The other thing that was appealing is the fact I can probably get a 7wt bank robber and 5wt legend elite for a little extra money on top the price of a Z-axis 5wt. Two rods are always better than one right?
2=5wt. rods
I have a Legend Elite and I have a guide friend who has a Z-Axis. Both of the rods are great and will hold up well. The Z-Axis will cast to the moon if you need to. If you can afford the difference , it is worth it. If you don't want to break the bank, the Legend Elite will serve the purpose well.
Hugh Hartsell---East Tenn.
I have the 9 ft 5wt z axis along with a 5wt winston and have had several orvis 5 wts. I have even had tfo's and own some st. croiux. I can say hands down that the zaxis is the best casting and feeling rod I have ever owned. I have a zxl and launch and the zaxis is the one I pick up nearly every trip out. It is definately worth the $$$$.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
I too am looking at a new 5 wgt. I have a sage XP and would like something a little "softer". I have a 7 wgt Z axis and have cast the 5 wgt z axis. It's ok but not what I was looking for and I would not trade my XP for a Z axis. After reading the reviews on the Hardy Sintex 5 wgt I tried one. I cast one on land and finally got to try one over water. I was impressed. I think there is one in my future. I think it is a few bucks cheaper then the Z axis.
I do not want to hijack this thread. but I am testing a 7wt zaxis at LRO this weekend. I would love to know your opinion on your 7wt. If need be start another post and just label it 7wt zaxis. Thanks
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
Not a problem on the hijacking, I am kind of interested in a 7wt as well. We can just turn this into the 5wt/6wt/7wt discussion post. I am sure most of us have all read the reviews on the Hardy at Yellowstone Angler and that is what peaked my interest on the new 3M material. Trico, where did you try the Hardy Zenith out around here? LRO doesn't carry them do they?
One more thought, since I seldom fly with my rods (I probably should change that), is there advantage/disadvantage to getting a 2 piece over a 4 piece other than the obvious difficulty in transporting the 2 piece?
In regards to casting the new Hardy I first saw it at a Michigan Fly Fishing Show and cast it in the parking lot. Earlier this month I was at Gates Au Sable Lodge in Michigan and cast one over water. I am going back there the first week in June. I may purchase one or put it on a wish list for my wife to buy! She spoils me! I purchased my 7 wgt Sage Z Axis as a steelhead rod. It has worked out great. I also use it for casting big streamers and heavy flies. Presently I use a Sage XP 9 ft 5 wgt. for much of my trout fishing. I may be in the minority but I do not know if the Z Axis is that much of an improvement. I will say I seem to loose a lot of fish with my XP when using smaller flies. A large part may be my rush to get them in so as not to play them too long. I would not be surprised if I am just putting too much pressure on them. But to answer flyred 06 the Z Axis is a fine rod and I do not mean to come off critical as I do not know what else I would look at in a 7 wgt other then maybe a Loomis Streamdance GXL. Hope this helps. Afdter we go to Gates in June I am planning on coming back to Tenn. for a week or so. I hope to being my drift boat and get in some fishing. If I have the Hardy I will let you know and you would be welcome to look it over and cast it.
In regards to two piece or four piece rods I really like the convenience of the four piece models for storage and travel by any means.
Best, Gary
I have a sage xp, winston bIIx , and Scott A3 that I fish for Trout. I had a Helios and z-axis that I sold. I just got a Mystic Fly Rod in a 6 weight and it is unbelievable. I was actually going to buy a bank robber, but after casting the 2 side by side, the Mystic was more versatile: Long casts, short casts, and it was very forgiving. It wont win any popularity contests because it is new to the game, but my other trout rods haven't seen water since I got it. I love it, and others I fish with, including some guides are amazed by this rod. It retails for $400. I would recommend looking it up, and it is a USA rod company which I try to stick with.
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day." ~Unknown~
Tippet I checked Mystic's web site but they did not give much information on their rods. In regards to your six wgt. is it a 9 ft. rod and what does it weigh?
It is 9'3, I couldn't tell you the weight, but it is comparable to my BIIX. The handle and guides are also comparable. The reel seat is awesome. It sits so well, and tightens great due to they have a small gasket between back nuts so you dont have to torque it at all. I use it on the clinch for bows and browns, and I have you used for smallies on the holston. Very versatile. Not trying to sell for them, but if you were thinking of a $400 dollar rod I wouldnt go with anything else.

Obama Refuses To Waive Stafford Act Post Hurricane Issac
Obama has presided over what has been a very amount of natural disasters. There have been few monster tornado outbreaks, a few big floods, and just one hurricane (barely) to make landfall on the continental United States. And how does he treat it? Well, hypocritically, of course
(Daily Caller) President Barack Obama has refused to extend to victims of Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana the same relief he criticized former President George W. Bush for withholding from New Orleans residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The move has frustrated state and local politicians and contradicts his own campaign rhetoric about disaster relief from just one election cycle ago.
In a fiery 2007 speech at Hampton University unveiled last week exclusively by The Daily Caller, Obama excoriated the Bush administration for supposedly refusing to waive requirements of the Stafford Act, which requires disaster victims to repay the federal government for emergency assistance, after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast.
"What's happening down in New Orleans?" Obama shouted during the speech, which was recorded at the Virginia university in June of 2007. "Where's your dollar? Where's your Stafford Act Money? Makes no sense! It tells me, the people down in New Orleans, they don't care about as much!"
And let's not forget that Obama himself voted against waiving the Stafford Act, just one of 14 Senators to do so, despite that fiery rhetoric.
According to Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise, the president has responded to the August landfall of Hurricane Isaac, which devastated several parishes in Louisiana, by requiring local governments to provide the maximum allowable 25 percent matching funds to receive their federal aid, instead of the 10 percent match that served as the Bush administration's guideline in the aftermath of Katrina.
"St. John the Baptist Parish was inundated by Isaac's storm surge. President Obama visited the parish, held a press conference there and toured the devastation," Jindal added. "Yet, he is still relying on this parish, and all other impacted parishes, to pick up 25 percent of the cost and refuses to make any adjustment allowed under the Stafford Act."
I'm not going to get into the notion that the federal government shouldn't be there to bail out everyone who experiences a natural disaster on the back of taxpayers around the country. But, this does highlight that what Obama preaches is often completely divorced from his actions and policy prescriptions.
And, just to be clear, Obama can't waive the Stafford Act himself. That requires an act of Congress. But, the administration hasn't asked for a vote on that for Isaac, and is pushing the maximum amount required. The Bush administration went out of their way to cover virtually all costs for the cleanup in New Orleans.

More links needed between public schools, higher ed
The chasm between public schools and higher education is not as wide as it sometimes seems. Clearly, however, more needs to be done to eliminate it in West Virginia.
Often it appears two entirely different, uncoordinated education systems serve young people – not just here, but throughout the United States. Children begin in kindergarten or "pre-K" programs and progress through high school. Once they earn diplomas, some choose to go to technical schools, colleges or universities. There, too often, jarring shocks await them. There seems to be little relationship between the classrooms they have just left and the ones they have entered.
State higher education leaders met in Charleston last week for a conference focusing on a five-year plan for colleges and universities. The Higher Education Policy Commission stated the plan will include "a strong focus on ensuring access to an affordable higher education for West Virginians." That will mean "increasing students' completion rates, assuring that academic programs prepare them to be knowledgeable and competent, and moving them from the classroom to careers in West Virginia."
Much needs to change for those lofty goals to be met. One recent report on graduation rates at West Virginia institutions of higher learning showed that at some state colleges and universities, fully two-thirds of students who enter fail to graduate.
And, as the HEPC points out, cost is a challenge. Tuition alone for four years at a state college or university tops $20,000. Add housing, food, textbooks and other expenses, and the cost of a bachelor's degree soars above what the parents of some students paid for their houses.
Higher education cannot tackle the challenges alone. Many college and university administrators complain that their students' success rates would be higher if public school graduates were prepared better. K-12 educators often respond that their graduates meet or exceed state requirements – and that they'd love to help higher education if someone would just tell them what is lacking.
Don't get us wrong: There are links between public schools and higher education. For example, many high schools offer Advanced Placement classes that can give students head starts on college. Many colleges and universities have programs that work closely with public schools.
But on both sides of the divide, objective educators know more could – and should – be done.
A start might be made by more cooperation in the planning and policy arenas. A coordinated approach should be the goal – and that is something both the HEPC and the West Virginia Board of Education should be making a priority.

About the Author: Preeti Shah serves as a Public Affairs Officer in the Haiti Special Coordinator's Office.
About 10 months have passed since a massive earthquake devastated much of the small Caribbean country of Haiti. Since that time, the Haitians, their government, and the international community rolled up their proverbial sleeves and dove into the task of bringing Haiti back to its feet.
And then cholera broke out. In response to what was rapidly identified by the Haitian government as an outbreak of potentially significant proportions, a team of nations, international organizations, and NGOs immediately focused on bringing in personnel, and deploying stocks of medical supplies and hygiene kits to begin treating victims of the disease.
Cholera flourishes in areas where sanitation systems are poor, where hand washing doesn't happen often enough, and when food and water contamination happens all-too-frequently. Unfortunately, these conditions exist throughout much of Haiti, and they were exacerbated by the January 12, 2010 earthquake.
However, it is also easily treated through use of oral rehydration solutions and community-level health clinics, and prevented through changes in hygiene practices and access to clean drinking water.
It quickly became clear that a coordinated response was not only important, but also vital to ensuring a rapid and cohesive response to assist the government of Haiti's efforts to slow down the transmission and to treat the victims. We are focusing on four major areas of response that include: providing clean drinking water, either via chlorinating the municipal water supply or providing AquaTabs to rural Haitians; providing oral rehydration salts to those stricken with cholera; providing access to treatment facilities to those in need of them; and conducting a strong public education program about cholera prevention and treatment.
All U.S. government agencies in Haiti began collaborating on this dual mission of prevention and treatment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance sent rapid response teams to Haiti. In addition to personnel, we immediately began the important campaign to educate Haitians about how to prevent transmission, and how to identify and treat cholera if infected. Using every means available, this campaign has spanned radio, SMS, sound trucks, pamphlets, as well as the training and mobilization of community health workers carrying the message about clean water, clean hands, and clean homes.
Through USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, over $9 million (as of November 18) has been contributed for specific efforts to prevent and treat cholera and slow the spread of the disease. This is in addition to the over $1 billion in earthquake assistance the U.S. government has provided to date, which is already working to improve water and sewage systems, as well as long-term public health planning. New cholera treatment facilities, staffed by CDC-trained health workers, have opened and are stocked with oral rehydration salts, IVs, and cholera cots donated by the United States, as well as international partners and NGOs.
CDC experts predict that cholera will remain a public health concern in Haiti for several years, though the initial and early phases are usually the most challenging in terms of new cases. We will continue to work alongside the government of Haiti, our international partners, and the NGO community to combat this outbreak and help Haiti continue its path of recovery.

I feel that the cholera outbreak in Haiti is also drawing attention to several other current problems in the country. From drug abuse to hunger, an unexpected earthquake, political instability as well as lack of infrastructure, the people of Haiti continue to suffer emotionally, mentally, and physically. The best way the United States can help is to provide targeted relief, not just in Port Au Prince, but also in the surrounding areas.

I'm searching for a web host what should meet the following criteria:

- MySQL (min 7 databases)
- Apache
- phpMyAdmin (preloaded or possible to add by my self)
- Piwik (preloaded or possible to add by my self)
- FTP access
- SSH access
- One domain name (.org or .net)
- At least 10GB of space, the more the better (it will need to host plenty of plain text files)
- Reliable
- Price IS an important criteria
The best would be if it would be possible to just have a plain server running some version of Linux, perhaps with a LAMP stack preinstalled. What way the criteria for FTP and SSH (and PHP, MySQL and Apache to) would be filled).
And as price is an important criteria I would be ready to install phpMyAdmin and Piwik my self it the price is lower then.
P.S. I don't want prices what are low temporary, they should stay about the same for a longer time.

According to Forrester Research, every business will become either a digital predator or digital prey by 2020. To avoid demise, organizations must rapidly create new sources of value in their end-to-end customer experiences. True digital predators also must break down information and process silos and extend digital transformation initiatives to empower employees with the digital resources needed to win, serve, and retain customers.

A closer look at the OVAC girls races
Girls' basketball teams have exactly one week to position themselves in the top four of their respective OVAC classification if they want to compete in the Wheeling Hospital Championships in early February.
Taking at look at the five divisions, there isn't a single one that is 'locked up' as parity has taken over.
Let's break each division down.
Class 5-A
University has all but sealed up the No. 1 spot as it leads cross-town rival Morgantown by nearly 10 points. John Marshall is a solid third, but Wheeling Park (48.14) and Indian Creek (47.47) are battling it out for the fourth – and final – position.
The Redskins have an important game tonight when Martins Ferry visits Wintersville for a key Buckeye 8 matchup as well. The Jefferson County quint posted a victory in the Purple City just last week.
Class 4-A
This division is similar to the one above as Steubenville, Union Local and Martins Ferry are solid in the top three spots, but Oak Glen and St. Clairsville are waging an intense battle for the final position.
The Golden Bears leap-frogged the Red Devils this week to grab the fourth spot. No. 6 Harrison Central still has an outside shot.
Class 3-A
A pair of Pioneer Valley Conference squads hold down the No. 1 and No. 2 positions here, those schools being River and Fort Frye.
Two other PVC teams, Monroe Central and Shenandoah, are currently third and fourth, respectively, but those positions could easily change over the next week as they are separated by a little more than a point.
Linsly and Magnolia are darkhorses.
Class 2-A
There's a new leader here as Wheeling Central nudged past Bridgeport, which suffered its first loss last week to River.
This might be the most competitive division as no less than five schools have a legitimate shot at qualifying.
The Bulldogs are a mere .30 bonus points ahead of third-place Clay-Battelle, while Shadyside is fourth. Frontier is still in the hunt.
The Cee-Bees are the unknown in this bunch as their schedule hasn't included many teams in eastern Ohio, if any! I guess only time will tell how good that squad is.
Class 1-A
Conotton Valley holds a slim edge over St. John Central in the smallest division, while Madonna is a solid third. Trinity Christian currently holds down the fourth spot, but Paden City is a close fifth.
The OVAC Wheeling Hospital Championship semifinals will be contested on Feb. 4 at the top two seeded teams courts, while the finals are slated for Saturday, Feb. 9 at Ohio University Eastern in St. Clairsville.
A Rebound Machine
Harrison Central's Katie Ellzy pulled down a career-high 22 rebounds last week. She's not only a force on the basketball court, but the softball diamond, as well, for the Huskies.
Crossing the River
Magnolia's Mallory Chapman fired in a career-high 41 points last week. She, like Ellzy, is a dominant pitcher for the Blue Eagles in the spring.
Not Unbeaten Anymore
Bridgeport, as mentioned above, sustained its first loss last week when River flowed into the John J. Havlicek Gymnasium and took the Lady Bulldogs out of the game early on.
Pilots' freshman Jensen Caretti continued to dominate the opposition. The 6-footer is only going to get better. I can't wait to see how she develops over the course of her career.
With the loss, that leaves Clay-Battelle as the lone unbeaten in the OVAC, boys or girls.

– The driver's skill level must be commensurate with the vehicle performance levels in the upper range limits, due to
increased safety risks in the upper range limits.
Loss of Road Surface Contact, Control over the Vehicle and Braking Ability
The reduced tire tread depth means that there is an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads.
Worn Tires
Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner.
It is important to check tire wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tires.
Driving on Race Circuits (e.g. Sports Driving School, Club Sport Events)
Brake fluid, brake pads and brake discs
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. This accumulation of water lowers the boiling point and can impair braking action if the brakes are subjected to high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
The brake fluid should therefore not be more than 12 months old if the vehicle is driven on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
Wear on the brake pads and brake discs depends to a great extent on the driving style and driving conditions. Wear on the brake components is increased as a result of high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
Before driving on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events), it is important therefore to carry out a visual inspection of the brake pads and brake discs for wear.
Racing tires
The fitting of racing tires (e.g. slicks) for sporting events is not approved by Porsche.
Very high cornering speeds can be achieved with racing tires. The resulting lateral acceleration values would jeopardise the adequate supply of oil to the engine.
Porsche therefore refuses to accept any guarantee or liability for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with this provision.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
The high-performance brake system is designed for optimal braking effect at all speeds and temperatures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient conditions (such as temperature and humidity) therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the different components and braking system, such as brake pads and brake discs, depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and the conditions of use and therefore cannot be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear increases considerably when the vehicle is driven on race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.

Police say a man was stabbed to death on a busy street in Kailua. The latest attack marks the second deadly stabbing in as many nights.
Click here to watch the report.
"I've been here 48 years. It's the first time we've had a dead body on the street," said business owner Robert Pestana.
A murder on Uluniu Street is an alarming reality for Kailua business owners.
"I wouldn't walk on the street by myself," said Pestana.
Around 11:45 p.m. Monday, police say a man was stabbed multiple times in the torso. Pestana owns a business across the street from the crime scene. He says there's usually a homeless man who sleeps where the victim was killed.
"They don't cause trouble. That's one thing I can honesty tell. We never have problems with the homeless," said Pestana.
No problems with the homeless, but what about problems it may cause businesses?
"If it's just this incident, I don't think so, but if it starts to be moreso, then yeah," said Kailua business owner Mark Kimbrell.
Business owners say this incident may not affect the way customers feel about the street. But, the blood stains may be a haunting memory.
"Kailua, the area, has changed over the years. A lot more homeless," said Kimbrell.
Last July, a homeless man was stabbed to death in Kailua District Park, Brian Kim was charged with second-degree murder in the case.
Police searched around Uluniu Street for about four hours Tuesday morning. They say the suspect is a man in his 20s leaving the scene in a black baseball cap. If you have any information, please call police.

State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller has
appointed former O'Fallon school superintendent Maurice
Hesse to fill the remaining seat on the Financial Oversight
Panel for Livingston School District 4.
Hesse joins Panel chairman Curtis Smith, a professor in the
Department of Educational Leadership at Southern Illinois
University-Edwardsville and Robert Stuart, retired Superintendent
of Edwardsville School District 7. The Panel's first
meeting is scheduled for Friday, December 27 at 1:00 P.M.
in the Madison County Regional Office of Education, 157 N.
Main (Suite 438), Edwardsville.
Hesse retired as the Superintendent of O'Fallon High
School District 203 in 1992. He currently serves as a member
of the board of education for that district.
Livingston, in Madison County, has been on the State Board's
list of districts "Certified In Financial Difficulty"
since 1988. The Livingston School Board voted in November
to petition the State Board to appoint a Financial Oversight
Panel, then subsequently rescinded that action. The State
Board established an involuntary FOP because the district's
finances are deteriorating and the district did not follow
the financial plan approved by the State Board for the 2001-2002
school year.
The State Board is authorized by state statutes to impose
a FOP on certified districts that do not adhere to approved
financial plans. Livingston's previous plans had shown
modest reductions in outstanding debt, and the FY2003 plan
was approved in June contingent on the continued reduction
of outstanding debt.
However, a recent audit of the district raised numerous concerns
regarding declining fund balances and the necessity of borrowing
Creation of a Financial Oversight Panel means that the Livingston
Board of Education will have to develop a financial plan to
be approved by the Panel, and the FOP will have to approve
every financial transaction of the district.
Livingston is the fourth district to operate with a FOP.
Mt. Morris, the first district to have a FOP, has since annexed
to another district. East St. Louis School District 189 in
St. Clair County has operated with a FOP since 1994. Round
Lake School District 116 in Lake County and Hazel Crest School
District 152 ½ in Cook County each operated with a
FOP but have since been placed under the oversight of School
Finance Authorities.
Establishing a Financial Oversight Panel makes the district
eligible for a grant and a loan from the Emergency Financial
Assistance Fund if requested by the FOP and approved by the
State Superintendent. The Financial Oversight Panel is to
be composed of three individuals appointed by the State Superintendent
of Education and will exist for no less than 3 years and possibly
up to 10 years.

Handling Unwanted Advice
From Gentle Baby Care by Elizabeth Pantley
"Help! I'm getting so frustrated with the endless stream of advice I get from my mother-in-law and brother! No matter what I do, I'm doing it wrong. I love them both, but how do I get them to stop dispensing all this unwanted advice?"
Just as your baby is an important part of your life, he is also important to others. People who care about your baby are bonded to you and your child in a special way that invites their counsel. Knowing this may give you a reason to handle the interference gently, in a way that leaves everyone's feelings intact.
Regardless of the advice, it is your baby, and in the end, you will raise your child the way that you think best. So it's rarely worth creating a war over a well-meaning person's comments. You can respond to unwanted advice in a variety of ways:
Listen first
Pick your battles
Steer clear of the topic
Educate yourself
Educate the other person
Quote a doctor
Be vague
Ask for advice!
Memorize a standard response
Be honest
Find a mediator
Search out like-minded friends

By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
A Clovis breastfeeding support group believes education is the best way to spotlight the issue of breastfeeding in public.
Although they have had no problems with the local Applebee's restaurant, the group supports a nationwide protest planned for today against the national restaurant chain, according to group spokeswoman Heidi Zamora.
The national protest was spurred by Internet support groups responding to a June 14 incident in Kentucky in which a woman said she was asked by Applebee's personnel to cover her child while she breastfed.
Zamora said they will have literature on hand and hope to educate those interested about breastfeeding, she said.
Zamora and her group is welcome at Applebee's, according to Windy Dehem, a spokeswoman for the company that operates the Applebee's in Clovis.
Dehem and Apple Grove Restaurants views today as an opportunity to educate its associates.
"They are certainly more than welcome to come in," she said of Zamora's group.
"We absolutely do not ban nursing in the restaurants. We just ask that moms who choose to do that do so in a respectful manner," she said.
If a situation arises where a customer is offended by a breastfeeding mother, Dehem said restaurant associates will be happy to find new seats for one or both parties to make everyone comfortable.
"We want to do our best to make sure that mothers are welcome to nurse in the restaurants," she said.
Connie Brumbelow, general manager at K-Bob's Steakhouse in Clovis, said her restaurant supports a mother's right to breastfeed and would never ask a woman to cover or step outside a public area.
"Why would we? Baby's gotta eat," she said laughing.
Brumbelow said she sees no difference between bottle or breast in terms of public feeding.
"We look at it like the child's got to eat too," she said.
Zamora said her group, whose membership fluctuates, decided not to protest the local Applebee's because she has nursed her child at the restaurant many times with no problems.
Though she supports breastfeeding in public and feels strongly about a woman's right to nurse her child, she would rather take the opportunity to offer education about breastfeeding to Applebee's staff and the public, she said.
"I don't really want to stand outside at noon on Saturday with my baby on my hip," she said.
"(Education), that's so much more my style than being out on the sidewalk with our kids waving banners."
Zamora, 36, said she is breastfeeding her 12-month-old son as she did her older two children. She believes the public needs to support a mother's right to nurse her child.
"When a baby needs to nurse they need to nurse. I think its discrimination to ask a mom to nurse in the car or the bathroom," she said.
— The Associated Press contributed to this report
• Brooke Ryan launched a campaign, organizing a "Nurse Out" today with posters and breast-feeding outside the Applebee's in Lexington, Ky. where she was confronted.
After her attorney wrote letters to Applebee's demanding an apology, Ryan said the company's attorney responded by saying a measure was being considered to keep blankets on hand in restaurants so mothers can cover themselves.
Ryan is arguing it is a woman's right to decide if she will cover her child while nursing and has demanded a formal apology from Applebee's.
Company spokespersons said they support a mother's right to breastfeed but ask it be done modestly.
Source: The Associated Press
New Mexico law:
• N.M. Stat. Ann. § 28-20-1 (1999) permits a mother to breastfeed her child in any public or private location where she is otherwise authorized to be. (SB 545)
• N.M. Chapter No. 2007-18 (2007) Requires employers to provide a clean, private place (not a bathroom) for employees who are breastfeeding to pump. Also requires that the employee be given breaks to express milk, but does not require that she be paid for this time. (HB 613)
Federal legislation:
• The Breastfeeding Promotion Act, HR 2122, was reintroduced in the House of Representatives on May 10, 2007. The BPA amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect breastfeeding women from being fired or discriminated against in the workplace, provides tax incentives for businesses that establish private, lactation areas in the workplace, provides for a performance standard for breast pumps, and allows breastfeeding equipment to be tax deductible for families.
