Please prevent more increases
Your July 6 article about the recommended tax rates that were later approved by the Montpelier City Council on July 10 contained encouraging news about an increase in the grand list helping to keep the municipal tax rate increase to just 0.5 percent. I believe the small increase is also the result of prudent budget decisions made by the City Council.
On the other hand, the rate for the school tax, which makes up the majority of our property tax bills, is rising 9.4 percent, and we have been told to expect a similar school tax increase next year. If the school tax keeps increasing at this rate, our school tax bills will double in eight years. That seems to me to be an unsustainable rate of increase.
I have long supported quality education in Montpelier, and I know part of the problem is a statewide property tax system in which the states general fund contribution to education has declined as a percentage of all education spending, putting more of a burden on the property tax.
But according to your article, Montpeliers per pupil spending rose from $17 above the state average last year to $330 above the state average for the coming school year. I urge the Montpelier School Board to do whatever it can to prevent a similar increase in its next school budget.

I have read many of the other threads and they have been very helpful so I thought I'd ask for some assistance with my breastfeeding questions.
I had my daughter at 36 weeks and she became jaundiced so she was supplemented with formula from Day 2 while in the hospital and then NICU.
I have a low milk supply and am currently taking Fenugreek (4 pills 3X perday) and have just been put on Metoclopramide for 12 days. So far, nothing has helped increase my supply. My lactation specialist suggested that I pump 6-8 times per day and try feeding my daughter once a day with a nipple shield. My daughter latches on to the nipple shield for a few seconds then realizes nothing is going to come out - and cries and will not latch again. (I am not sure of the benefit of the nipple shield - can someone explain?)
My lactation specialist also suspected a breast infection due to the large amounts of antibiotics that I was given during labor so I am applying Bactroban to my nipples 3X per day.
Between the nightime feedings (bottle with expressed breastmilk or formula if I don't have enough breast milk), the constant pumping and low supply I am a bit discouraged. I would like to breastfeed my daughter as soon as possible - even if it is just during the morning feeding when I seem to have a little more milk.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

these past months since i made the decision to BF my daughter again have been so wonderful. i've never felt so close to her. we've been through a few nursing strikes before that were only a few days and i think were mainly becasue she was teething. this last week however has been different. she has only been wanting to nurse for a few minutes and then she's done or cranky and sort of but not really trying to nurse. today she got mad and pointed at her brothers cup. that's what she really wanted. i'm heartbroken. i guess nature is cruel. i just really started getting some milk
. the last few days i've been sore but pumping doesn't really do anything. i can get in the shower and express some milk which helps a bit. the letdown i've been feeling has stopped for the last 2 days. i've always had to use a lactation aid so she's getting what she needs. this whole thing is just so sad. i don't even really know what i'm asking. just venting i guess.

Chowder Day In Bodega Bay, One Taster's Experience
Last weekend my mom and I had the fun of taking part in Bodega Bay's famous Chowder Day, where local restaurants give out free samples of their clam chowder, and we the public vote on who we think has the best. Let's do a blow by blow of each one!
Map of participating restaurants
The Sandpiper
Most Bodega Bay residents are familiar with the tragic tale of the Sandpiper. After more than fifty years as one of the town's most beloved restaurants, the Sandpiper's corporate landlords forced them to pack up and move to a new location up the hill. The whole thing was very sad- you kind of expected Jimmy Stewart to show up and deliver an impassioned speech, melting the heart of a bitter old judge who didn't believe in Santa Claus, and forcing him to overturn the eviction. Unfortunately, despite more than 6,000 signatures and an overwhelming amount of community support, the Sandpiper was still forced to move.
Their new location (which is actually the old location for Claudio's Trattoria, another fantastic restaurant) seems to be working out pretty well, however. The place was hopping by the time we arrived. As mom and I walked up to the door, I smiled and waved at an elderly couple that were leaving. They scowled and let the door slam in my face. Thanks, elderly couple! Now the entire internet knows what you did.
My mood improved a lot by the time we made it inside. The employees were warm, friendly, and bearing cups of clam chowder! Yummy! The soup itself was herby and thick with vegetables. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I thought it was fantastic!
The owner was nice enough to answer all of our questions about the chowder and the new restaurant location. I wished I had the guts to ask for another sample, but I chickened out. Overall, the service was lovely, and the chowder was great. I highly recommend it.
Terrapin Creek Café
By the time we made it to the Terrapin Creek Café, there was a line out into the parking lot. A handwritten sign told Chowder Day visitors to park along the street, probably as a courtesy to the nearby shops.
I was saving a place in line as mama parked the car, when all of a sudden an elderly couple (different one than before) wearing matching Costco parkas just shoved right in front of me, stealing my spot. I wanted to tap them on the shoulder and ask, "Excuse me, is this Chowder Day or Rude Old People Day? Because I'm here for some soup, not sass," but by this point mom was walking up and I thought better of it.
The soup itself was, well, orange! Mom asked if it was New England or Manhattan, and the man who served it to us insisted that it was New England, despite the fact that it was reddish-orange. Now, I'm not usually a fan of spicy foods, but this chowder was fantastic. I found it EXTREMELY spicy, and many patrons were completely stumped while trying to figure out exactly what was in it. The general consensus was that it included garlic and wine. Honestly, I'd be more inclined to call it a gourmet stew than a soup. Even though the spice was almost too much for me, I'm definitely coming back on another night to try a whole bowl.
As we were leaving, a group of teenagers walked by holding some clam chowder ballots. I overheard one of them say, "Wouldn't it be funny if we just wrote down that all of them suck?" Yeah, that'd be hilaaaarious! Wouldn't it be even FUNNIER if I splashed piping hot spicy clam chowder right in your face? Teenagers these days!
Spud Point Crab Company
It's really, really, really hard to compete with the Spud Point Crab Company. Their chowder is unlike any other kind in the world- it's more of a garlic chowder than a clam chowder, honestly. After I had my first bowl, shortly after moving to Bodega Bay, it was a long time before I could order clam chowder anywhere else.
Mom and I parked up the street. I heard her say, "Uh oh, compact? This isn't a compact car," followed by a loud crash, which was more funny than scary. While walking to the restaurant, we heard an even louder crash as another car made the same mistake we did. Oops!
Spud Point is a family-run operation, and they all appeared to be there. An adorable and unforgettable addition to the usual crew was a little girl wearing a giant hat that looked like a cartoon crab. Fabulous!
Tony Anello, co-owner, was there overseeing the operation. We went up with our little cups of soup and told him what big fans we were- he was very gracious and kind.
The Boathouse
I'm sorry to admit that I had never been to The Boathouse before. They definitely came in first place for presentation- each sample of clam chowder came garnished with paprika in a little dish along with some crackers, bright red napkins and a real spoon. A lot of care and planning seemed to go into their setup; there was even a big gazebo-style tent outside.
The clam chowder itself wasn't the best. It really bums me out to have to say that, but it's true. However, The Boathouse isn't known for its clam chowder. What it IS known for, however, are its fish & chips.
Mama let it slip in the car that she hadn't had fish & chips since she was a little kid. After sampling the chowder, she and I went inside and ordered some up to share. I took one bite and…OH MY GOD! It was SO good. Like, soooo good! Hands-down the best fish and chips I'd ever had in my life. And their FRIES were fantastic too.
So, I highly recommend going to The Boathouse for lunch or dinner or the next time you get a chance. You may not be particularly enthused by the clam chowder, but boy oh boy you will just LOVE the fish & chips.
Island Style Deli
A few months ago, my mom made an offhand remark in reply to one of the comments on this site expressing her concern that the Island Style Deli seemed, well, out of style for Bodega Bay. Hawaiian food is very tropical, and this is a cool coastal fishing town. It just seemed kind of out of place. Well, she has since received a number of letters totally ragging on the post, defending the Island Style Deli with the fire of a thousand suns.
Let me just say this. Bodega Bay has a lot of awesome restaurants, but they essentially serve the same sorts of food. Seafood, burgers, and chicken/steak/generic restaurant fare. That's fine though, as they all do it differently and with a particular flare unique to the restaurant itself.
I think it's nice to have some variety, and that's all I will say on THAT topic before we get flooded with another 50,000 e-mails about it.
The Island Style Deli's clam chowder was pretty herby, although in a completely different way than the Sandpiper's. It was almost sort of exotic. I liked it a lot, and they included a coupon for two FREE cups of chowder with purchase of two lunches or dinners for future visits which I thought was very nice!
The Tides
I saw a guy who looked just like Truman Capote at The Tides while waiting for my sample. As much as I love The Tides, it's totally depressing to stare at a tank full of live crabs, staring back at you with tiny, sad eyes as you order food. Kind of put a damper on my chowder experience!
Tides' chowder is super rich and creamy. Unfortunately, I dropped my cup on the pavement shortly after leaving the building. This was a total bummer since I was really enjoying it! I didn't remember The Tides having such good chowder- maybe they have a new recipe now? Mom insists it's the same and she loves it, hmm . . . Either way, it was awesome while it lasted, and I apologize to the janitor who had to clean up my spilled soup.
Bluewater Bistro
We just love the Bluewater Bistro. Their chowder was especially unique in that it had salmon as well as clams and the usual clam chowder fare like potatoes, celery etc. It may even be tied with Spud Point Crab Co. as my favorite for this year!
The Bluewater Bistro has a whole new menu that I encourage you to check out. The brand new pizza oven that never seemed to get used (only available upstairs in the bar and only on some nights? Whaaaat?) finally gets to shine on the regular menu! You can order the pizzas to go now, too, so I expect to gain 5-10 lbs in the coming weeks. Yay!
The votes are in, and the official winners are as follows: For the 6th year in a row, Spud Point came in first, with the Tides a very close second, and Bluewater Bistro not far behind. The other four restaurants came within a few votes of each other.
All in all, mom and I had a blast at Chowder Day! Good job everyone!

Isn't she a crack-up? She notices so much that I'm oblivious to. I'm glad she loved all the chowders, we had a ball!

Sorry I missed it this year. Laurel, you did a great job. Sorry, the old people weren't very nice. They were older than me, right? Ask your mom when I come for fish and chips.
- February 13, 2010 at 5:06 PM
Laurel, great post. Loved it. I'm sorry I missed Bodega Bay's Clam Chowder day and will try for next year. A lesson learned: don't forget to check in regularly with Kathlene (and clever guests) at their Bodega Bay Life blog.

Very entertaining post! When I came to visit your lovely Bodega Bay, I ate at the Tide's. I loved their clam chowder! Wish I could come visit again so I could try the others!

Thanks Cherrie! The Tides has delicious clam chowder! Laurel was so bummed when her's spilled. :-(

loved the post and all the photos and detailed descriptions!! thanks for sharing with all of us.

Laurel, I loved your guest appearance. You have a wonderful
flair for writing in the now. I cannot wait to have fish and chips at the Boathouse and I don't even know where it is.
You clearly have a gift for writing and for relating your experience to
others. Please don't give up on all old people. I don't know what has
gotten into the elderly people who are being so rude out there. Maybe they were afraid the restaurant would run out of chowder. People get weird when they get caught up in scarcities. Your thought about soup, not sass seems right on.
Good for you. Excellent job on this assignment.

Hey Kathlene,
Hope all is well. Your daughter did a great job on this I enjoyed it, maybe one year I will play visitor!

Laurel you may have a future in copy writing! Enjoyed your posts and please give us a call next year and we'll join you
- February 20, 2010 at 6:25 PM
I think you are very accurate in your conclusion of the wondeful clam chowder available in our tiny village. But, the "fries" at Boathouse are "chips", hence "fish and chips". Just an observation. Thanks for the blog on our peaceful piece of heaven, it's fun.
- February 27, 2010 at 11:31 AM
Love your daughter's post. When we come to visit Bodega Bay we've only eaten fish and chips at the Sandpiper. Would your daughter say the boathouse fish & chips are better than Sandpiper?
- March 2, 2010 at 10:52 AM
- Kathlene said...
They're really different experiences. The Sandpiper is sit-down restaurant with menus and waiters. The Boat House is more rustic, kinda like an old-fashioned beach snack bar where you order at the cash register then find a seat.

The state-run program oversees a variety of scratch games as well as jackpot games: Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto and Cash 5.
In Boulder, retailers who are associated with the program, collected $5 million last year. Fort Collins retailers collected $3.2 million, Greeley retailers took in $2.7 million, and retailers in Broomfield collected $1.4 million.
The money from the games are spent on improving the quality of life in Colorado, according to spokeswoman Brooke Christopher. Money is spent on parks, recreation, open space, conservation and wildlife projects.
Examples of these lottery contributions are the $40,834 that went toward the Valmont Bike Park sign program in 2011 and the $297,600 in the Scott Carpenter Park Irrigation upgrades in 2012, both in Boulder.
In Greeley, $1.8 million was spent to develop the Poudre Bluff/Poudre River Corridor, and $1.3 million went toward the Siebring Reservoir/Poudre River Corridor in 2012.
In Fort Collins, $421,816 was spent to develop the Fossil Creek Trail at Stanton Creek in 2012, and $85,000 went toward the Hughes Stadium Disc Golf Course in 2011.
In Broomfield, $200,000 was used to develop Northmoor Park improvements in 2011, and $28,723 was used toward the Broomfield Trail expansion.
For the past 31 years, the lottery has given more than $5.5 billion in prizes to players statewide.

Topic 1:
In Jackson County, there's a half-cent sales tax for medical research on the ballot. Backers claim the $40 million-a-year tax will help make Kansas City a major center for translational medicine. What about the downside?
Topic 2:
Despite intense opposition from the three county commissioners, Clay County voters will say year or nay next Tuesday to a new constitution. The commisioners say the document is illegal, but a judge refuses to hear the case until after voters have their say. With all the controversy, might one observe that Clay County does not have a functioning government now?
Topic 3:
Two new polls show increasing opposition to how Governor Sam Brownback is doing his job. A poll by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs shows disapproval at 42 percent. That survey was release just as apparent gubernatorial nominee Paul Davis named Jill Docking as his running mate. What about these polls and the additon of Docking to the ticket? What do they mean for Kansas Democrats?
Topic 4:
Among Kathleen Sebelius' assignments as Health and Human Services Secretary was implementation of the Affordable Care Act website. The website rollout that sort of began on October 1 has been called a disaster, a debacle, a nightmare, and a prime example of why big government won't work. Can Sebelius survive the criticism?

Lee's Canyon Road Temporarily Closed to Motorized Use
Salt Lake City—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Salt Lake Field Office (SLFO) is temporarily closing the Lee's Canyon Road to protect crucial raptor nesting habitat. The temporary closure will remain in effect from April 5 through July 15, 2013.
In 2011, a pair of raptors attempted to nest in Lee's Canyon, but abandoned the nest. In 2012, the SLFO placed gates on each side of the canyon and temporarily restricted access through the canyon. As a result, the nest was successful, and the pair fledged one young. The birds have already returned this year to the same site, and the SLFO is working toward protecting their nesting habitat.
"The temporary closure is necessary to protect crucial raptor nesting habitat that is on the route through Lee's Canyon," said SLFO Manager Bradley Washa. "The protection of these magnificent creatures is not only required by law, it is also a benefit to all of us."
Locked gates will be installed on both the east and west sides of Lee's Canyon. The gates will be positioned in locations to allow motorized vehicles to turn around. Signs will also be installed to inform motorists that the road is seasonally closed for wildlife protection, and travel through the canyon is not possible. Hasting's Pass Road, south of Lee's Canyon, remains open and offers the public the same ability to travel across the Cedar Mountains.
The public is reminded that vehicles must remain on designated routes. Anyone violating the closure may be fined up to $1,000, imprisoned for up to 12 months, or both. Violators may also be subject to additional fines.
Lee's Canyon is located along the Cedar Mountain Wilderness boundary in Tooele County, Utah, and remains open to non-motorized recreation such as hiking and horseback riding.
A map of the temporary closure area can be found at http://blm.gov/l2kd.

Things are NOT Looking Good
Things have slowed down over the weekend. On Friday, the Braves announced that they are out of the Peavy race. That's a relief. But now the talk is the Angels or Yankees. Now, Jake wants to stay in the NL, but he would probably approve a trade to the Angels because it isn't that far from San Diego. He would probably go to the Yankees because he wants a championship. Jake wants to go to a winning team, but he might not approve a trade if they give up essential players for him. This is just a ridiculous example, but if the Yankees traded A-Rod to the Padres for Jake, Jake wouldn't want to go because he feels that A-Rod is essential to the Yankees winning. He might not have approved the trade to the Braves anyway because he wanted a solid shortstop like Yunel Escobar behind him. Now, Jake does want to stay in the NL. My theory? He wants to keep his ABs. If he goes to the AL, he won't get to bat anymore. Last year, Jake was hoping to have a higher batting average than ERA. Unfortunately, it didn't work out (2.85 ERA to .265 batting average). Oh, well. But he had 13 hits on the season, including 2 doubles. He also hit a homer in Spring Training. He loves to hit, and he can be a threat at the plate. So, in the NL, the Cubs are interested. But they don't have good pieces to send us. It is most likely that Jake will get traded, but I so wish he would just stay here.
Things on the Trevor side are not good. Trev came out and actually spoke to the press on Friday. Here's another sad thing involving the front office: Trevor and a bunch of players were vacationing in Puerto Rico. The front office called him on vacation and told him over the phone that the deal was off the table. HOW PATHETIC IS THAT???? Trevor talked a lot about everything that's been going on. Everything he said, the front office said the exact opposite. Trevor thinks there's no possible way he could be coming back to San Diego. Sandy Alderson? Oh, sure, he could still be coming back. They are not on the same page. Trevor is going to walk out the door. And the front office won't even care.

I don't want to steal them from you, but they sure would look good in Brewers uniforms for '09. Jake and Trevor coming over together! It'll never happen but I can dream, right?
My latest blog post is in regards to the aforementioned ace-Jake Peavy. Check it out! My plea to Jake!
Telling a player he's not wanted while he's on vacation. Not nice. On the other hand, there's no good time to cut a player loose. The business side of baseball is cruel!
I hope the nats sign Trevor Hoffman. I know it is probably not going to sign him but it would be so great.I listed him in my 09 nats post.Check it out at Curlywkid.mlblogs.com

They are not putting forth their platform (does anyone know what they actually stand for?) or touting the qualifications of candidates ŌĆ£they support,ŌĆØ but instead working to defeat a certain candidate with negative publicity. Their attention and efforts are now focused on defeating Kevin Ensley.
In an Oct. 10 email to dozens of people, Jay Hinson ŌĆö signing for the Good Government Legion ŌĆö thanks them for removing Mark Swanger in the May primary, even though many who received the email actually supported Mr. Swanger. Nonetheless, Mr. Hinson chose to list all the names of the recipients so as the email was circulated, those reviewing it will see these names, and ŌĆ£assumeŌĆØ that they are part of this effort. Many were not ŌĆö and are not. That is a disingenuous ploy.
Mr. Hinson asked for contributions to cover ads and encouraged a letter to the editor campaign to to remove Kevin Ensley, ŌĆ£the second member of ŌĆśThe Gang of Three.ŌĆÖŌĆØ The catalyst for the Good Government Legion ŌĆö a misnomer if there was ever was one ŌĆö was the disgruntled former head of the Economic Development Commission, an out of area developer/investor, and some folks who want things back ŌĆ£the way they were,ŌĆØ when their wheels got greased, and things were not as open and democratic.
Some prefer things to be done in a more ŌĆ£closed setting,ŌĆØ where quid pro quo ŌĆöŌĆ£I scratch your back, you scratch mineŌĆØ ŌĆö is the rule of engagement. They found themselves ŌĆ£disenfranchisedŌĆØ when changes were made, and they want back in.
Mark Swanger ran on ŌĆö and delivered ŌĆö open government, for which he received a statewide award. Kevin Ensley has worked for the best interests of the county, putting these interests above his own, and that of his business.
There is no ŌĆ£gang of three.ŌĆØ This board has had the fewest split votes ŌĆö 3 to 2 ŌĆö of any board in more than eight years. Kevin Ensley voted against Mark SwangerŌĆÖs position more than Kirk Kirkpatrick did.
But, as one goes into the voting booth, just consider the facts ŌĆö and block out the noise. This county commission ŌĆö with Kevin Ensley ŌĆö wrestled the Economic Development Commission away from a small group and put it under the auspices of those who pay for its efforts ŌĆö the county and municipal governments and the taxpayers. This has paid off for the County. Unlike the prior commissions, the recent property revaluation was made revenue neutral; that is, the millage rate was reduced so that the county budget remained the same despite an increase in property values. Kevin Ensley was at the forefront of this. This was not the case under the prior commission, who increased our property taxes.
I am aware of initiatives made by this commission to the state level to provide additional tax relief for the citizens of Haywood County. Proactive measures were made to assist those affected by the floods, as well as those involved in agriculture. A slope ordinance is approaching approval.
This commission oversaw the completion of the Justice Center ŌĆö at the time that the architect had filed bankruptcy and had been acquired by the general contractor (a fact that Jack Horton was ŌĆ£lateŌĆØ in reporting to the commissioners). They also oversaw the completion of the new Law Enforcement Center on budget, which is rare for that type of facility. Yes, they also made a difficult decision ŌĆö realizing there would be political fallout ŌĆö in changing county managers. But it was the right thing to do for the county.
The emails and communications to other commissioners and those pertaining to government business were indexed and made a part of the public record. There has been, and continues, a commitment to openness. Just ask the members of the media who have covered the county commission in the past and currently what the differences are. Do we really want to go back to an earlier time?
The underlying question then, is why vote Kevin Ensley out of office? He ŌĆö and his fellow commissioners ŌĆö has done a stellar job.
Yes, I am supporting the incumbents ŌĆö Mr. Kirkpatrick as well as Mr. Ensley, because they deserve our vote and support. They have accomplished a lot of good things. Thus, why would we even consider changing, especially when the challengers have nothing of substance to offer? What do they bring to the table that we donŌĆÖt already have?
Kevin and Kirk have put in inordinate hours, and although they have not always agreed on things, they have worked well together, and I have suspicions that Kirk will vote for Kevin.
LetŌĆÖs consider the candidate through the prism of the issues; not as a result of some organized effort to throw money into mud slinging in order to hijack an election. Tell the Good Governance Legion to address the issues and qualifications, not by negatively attacking candidates with innuendo and inferences. Kevin Ensley has done a great job for the citizens of Haywood County ŌĆö the efforts and negative attacks by a small group of disgruntled individuals, notwithstanding.

While preparing a new comprehensive plan, the Town of Callicoon conducted a survey in the spring of 2010 to gauge the opinion of property owners on a number of subjects. Although hydraulic fracturing was already a controversial topic, the survey asked just a single question about it: Is "gas drilling" "important" to the town? The question was unclear. Did it mean was it important to bring gas drilling to the town, or important to keep it out? It could be interpreted either way. Despite this obvious flaw in the survey, nearly a quarter of the respondents expressed their opinions by writing comments of their own—and 88% of them made it clear that they did not want fracking in their town.
Now 88% is usually considered a decisive majority, but it wasn't good enough for the town comprehensive plan committee. Because only 93 property owners offered clear opinions, the committee said the survey results were "not enough to establish that a majority of residents are opposed to gas drilling"—and proceeded to draft a pro-fracking comprehensive plan that encourages the creation of industrial zones and housing for transient workers who come into communities to work on gas wells.
Was the town justified in disregarding the opinions expressed in the community survey? Or did the 88% actually represent the town as a whole? My colleague Jill Wiener and I set out to find the answer. We began by using the Freedom of Information Law to obtain copies of every letter, email and petition that was sent to the town. We also looked at all the comments that were made at a recent public hearing on the plan.
After eliminating multiple responses from the same individuals, we ended up with a list of 332 stakeholders—residents, property owners and businesses owners in the town. That's a fairly large sample for a town that only has 3,057 residents. So what did all these stakeholders have to say about fracking? At the meeting, nine residents spoke in favor of fracking, 42 spoke against it. And every one of the letters emails and petitions sent to the town opposed fracking. In other words, 3% of the stakeholders favor fracking, and 97% oppose it. Can anyone dismiss these results as inconclusive? (Before you say "no," wait and see what the town officials do with this information.)
If board members and committee members honestly believe they still don't have enough information to determine how residents feel about fracking, then they should accept an offer made by resident Al Shoop. He said that he will privately raise the money to pay for a new town-wide survey that will gauge opinions on this one subject. This wouldn't cost taxpayers a penny, and it would give residents one more opportunity to weigh in on a very important issue. Personally I'll be happy to contribute to this effort—if the town will agree to abide by the results.
If the town rejects this opportunity to gather more information, then it must accept the information it has in hand. It is impossible to justify a plan that ignores the views of the 97% of the town, and suits just 3% of the stakeholders. If they go forward with their pro-fracking plan, then members of the comprehensive plan committee and town board will have to deal with a question that's already been asked, but not yet answered: "Are local officials ignoring the wishes of the vast majority of the residents of the town because they hope to personally profit from fracking and 'mancamps?'"

Woman jailed on burglary chargeAugust 06,2014Woman jailed on burglary charges
A Rutland woman was jailed Tuesday on $25,000 bail, charged with breaking into a home on Wheelerville Road in Mendon and stealing several items including two cases of beer.
Lynn M. Campeau, 37, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of burglary and a misdemeanor count of unlawful mischief.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $25,000 for Campeau, who remained in the Rutland jail Tuesday evening.
Vermont State Police arrested Campeau after receiving a call Monday from a woman who said she gave the woman a ride to a home on the remote dirt road Sunday to grab items Campeau said shed left at her mothers home there.
The woman told police Campeau directed her to a home on the road and then told her that her mother had forgotten to give her a key so she had to climb through a basement window to get in, according to court records.
Campeau eventually came out with several bags, and as they were driving away Campeau allegedly began laughing and confessed to her friend that her mother didnt own a camp.
Campeaus friend, who police say was worried that she had been an unwitting accomplice, told police about the incident and troopers spoke with the Wheelerville homes owner, who reported minor damage to his locks and two cases of beer missing.
Police say they later recovered the beer from Campeaus refrigerator.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

While it is often thought of as separation from the world, holiness actually has four components: separation, participation, purity, and passion. To be holy requires all four.
Imagine two different lines of action: one, vertical (toward God); the other, horizontal (toward man). At the top of the vertical line is separation unto God; at the bottom of this line is participation with God. The horizontal line is ministry, with purity on the left side and passion on the right. Laying the horizontal line over the vertical, we have a cross that defines God's holiness.
An ideal illustration of holiness was Mary, the mother of Jesus. God clearly established the line of separation for Mary by revealing her purity, His passion, and her participation. Her obedience and purity allowed her to be blessed by God. She accepted the call of God and separated herself from the world unto His passion, participating in the hope for the salvation of Israel.
The revelation of Christ is His incarnation, holiness, passion, and participation in His mission. It is an invitation to you and me. When we willingly separate ourselves from sin unto Christ, we are declared "pure" by His blood. He can then show us what He wants us to do. Passion is the driving force that carries us beyond ourselves as we participate in His work.
Christianity is God's gift of grace to humanity. This relationship is possible because of the holiness of God. As the apostle John wrote: "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ." (1 John 1:1-3)

Obama proposes $60.4 Billion for Sandy relief, whatever happened to cutting spending?
Chris Christie and other Northeast governors went hat-in-hand to Washington this week seeking federal funds to rebuild after Hurricane Sandy. And President Big Spender readily agreed, proposing $60.4 Billion in immediate aid.
President Barack Obama formally asked Congress Friday for $60.4 billion to help states such as New Jersey and New York rebuild in the aftermath of devastating Superstorm Sandy.
"Our Nation has an obligation to assist those who suffered losses and who lack adequate resources to rebuild their lives," acting Office of Management and Budget Director Jeffrey Zients said in a letter to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Meanwhile, everyone is talking about cutting federal spending. Well, almost everyone. Dear Leader just wants to raise taxes. He's gonna need a lotta new taxes to cover $60.4 Billion.
As for that "our nation has an obligation" thing, here's what Democrat Grover Cleveland (born right here in Caldwell, NJ) had to say about that:
I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should I think be steadfastly resisted to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the government the government should not support the people.
Amen Brother.
If you want to encourage redevelopment then invite private investment and incentivize them with tax breaks. Chris Christie keeps saying the Jersey Shore is so "vital", well then entrepreneurs ought to be chomping at the bit to invest in its future. Banks can underwrite loans, leave the taxpayers out of it. And if you didn't have insurance or can't afford to rebuild? Sorry, but you chose poorly and that's not my problem.
Besides, Bruce Springsteen and his celebutard friends are working overtime to solicit donations for you. Americans are a very generous lot, just be patient.
Any Congressman who votes for this boondoggle isn't serious about cutting the deficit or reducing the size of government. It's time to stop paying lip service to austerity and to start making the hard decisions. Otherwise, why bother complaining about anything the government spends money on?

Six-Year-Old 'Rapper' Stars in 'Booty Popping' Music Video He Is Too Young to Watch by Himself
"Albert Roundtree Jr. is a 6 year old rapper from South Florida," reads the description for "Booty Pop" — the alleged music prodigy's first music video, which, ironically, he is not allowed to watch.
Scenes featuring semi-nude women popping their booties in Albert's face while he raps about "swag" have caused the video to be flagged for content on YouTube. It is now age restricted, meaning only registered users 18 and older can watch it.
If dressing up a child in baller outfits and making him gyrate while proclaiming his ability to make female backsides shake seems wrong to you, you're hardly alone.
Vibe labeled "Booty Pop" child abuse, asserting that a similar video with "a 6-year-old girl swimming in a sea of dick soup" would have resulted in a phone call to "Benson and Stabler" (of NBC's Law & Order: SVU).
Readers of World Star Hip Hop were similarly appalled, expressing incredulity at its very existence.
Meanwhile, the producers of the video, Froze-N-Time Productions, don't seem to share in the revulsion, asking people to spread the word, and calling "Booty Pop" the "music video to end all music video [sic]."
It may not end all music videos, but it could very well be the end of Froze-N-Time Productions.

Countdown to the Face-Off Classic: 15
Consecutive wins to start 2009 for Notre Dame
While many just reflect on the fact that Notre Dame was upset in the opening round of the NCAA tournament a year ago, it's important that we don't forget the Irish started that season with a whopping 15 consecutive wins, rolling through the entire regular season undefeated. In that stretch, Kevin Corrigan's squad racked up wins over Loyola, Penn State, North Carolina, Bucknell and Ohio State (twice) to roll into the tournament with a seed and earn the right to host the Terrapins. Things didn't go their way that afternoon in Indiana, but you can learn a lot about yourself in a loss. Did the Irish learn how to win the big one and make a run at the 2010 crown? You'll get a good early look as they take on Loyola at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.
Just 15 days away.

The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London.

Very good book. Thoroughly holds your interest.
In THE CALL OF THE WILD by JACK LONDON, a family dog from California named Buck is abducted and sold as a sled dog to feed the voracious appetite for such animals created by the gold rush in Alaska. From his sunny days of quiet contentment, Buck is hurled into a dog-eat-dog world (literally) where he struggles to survive. In the process a more ancient and feral dog is awakened within him.

Well, it appears that tomorrow is the annual episode where the first half hour is preempted by Mormons. So it's going to be extra short. You should tune in anyway at 5:00; we will start taking calls as early as possible, but if there aren't enough calls then I'll do my topic on easy evolution stuff.
In my February episode, I started what I intended to be a series on evolution. The February episode was about the reasons why evolution and atheism are so often linked. This episode will be mostly about incredibly lame anti-evolution arguments, many of them advanced by young earthers, that are even discredited by the saner creationists.
First I'll be covering the generic "argument from incredulity" that is the cornerstone of many anti-evolution arguments. We'll talk about evolution being only a theory, and being a theory of chance, Then I'll briefly go over the motivation behind young earth beliefs, and some other arguments such as Lord Kelvin's mistaken estimate of the age of the universe, the moon dust argument, and probably the Paluxy dinosaur tracks. If there's time, I'll wrap up by talking a little about the overall problem with the creationist approach, where they mistakenly believe that a solidly established scientific theory can be instantly dismissed with a single "magic bullet" argument.
If I don't have time to do all this, the subject may continue into next month; I'm in no big hurry. Otherwise, next month Matt suggests that I temporarily turn away from creationism and go after the positive evidence in favor of evolution. This is assuming that I have time to appear, since I have to study for spring final next month. In any event, after that episode I'll do one on intelligent design, likely recapping my review of Darwin's Black Box and either my experiences at the Texas school board hearings or a recap of the Dover trial, which I know Matt has followed a lot.
If you have any additional suggestions regarding tomorrow's show, leave it in comments.

Montpelier firefighters challenge city over withheld emailsBy David Taube
STAFF WRITER | February 05,2013MONTPELIER Local and state firefighter unions have cried foul over withheld emails in which city officials discussed a Montpelier Fire Department budget issue, but the city agreed Monday to release some documents initially kept private.
The Professional Fire Fighters of Vermont statewide union filed a public records request Jan. 25 after a final Montpelier City Council budget hearing, seeking exchanges between city officials, and the city withheld 30 records. But Montpelier firefighters union President Jake Larrabee said a lawyer for his union reviewed the citys response and believes the records are public.
Were going to discuss whether we want to litigate to get them released, Larrabee, a lieutenant firefighter with the city, said Monday.
City Manager William Fraser wrote in response to the public records request that 29 records were not being released because of an exemption that allows certain budget materials to be withheld. Another record was withheld on the grounds of privacy and personnel matters.
Three emails were disclosed, according to a city response that the state union provided to The Times Argus. But in a reversal of the initial decision, Mayor John Hollar said later Monday that many of the documents will be released now. He said that on second consideration, many of the exchanges deal with factual matters and can be released. Emails between himself and Fire Chief Bob Gowans and Fraser, however, will remain withheld because they are protected by statute, he said.
We have to have candid conversations, whether its over the phone or by email, before we make a policy determination, Hollar said.
The records request came after a city firefighter-led effort to keep a firefighter position from being cut during budget deliberations. Supporters gathered more than 840 signatures by petition to put a question on the Town Meeting Day ballot asking voters to restore the funding for the position. At the final budget meeting in late January, the council approved reducing the overall budget by the exact amount that city firefighters sought to add.
The position slated for elimination will be vacated when a lieutenant firefighter retires this summer. The restructuring would mean the Montpelier Fire Department would have one fewer day each week when a four-person crew is on duty overnight. The department currently has four nights each week with only a three-person crew.
The firefighter ballot item says the requested funding will be used specifically to restore the position that the city plans to cut. But according to the city, the money could go anywhere, so even if the item passes, the firefighter position could still be eliminated. The councils motion to cut roughly $50,000 from the budget, however, does not keep the city from restoring the position if it chooses.
The exemption cited by Montpelier for 29 of the 30 records withheld covers interdepartmental and intradepartmental communications that are preliminary to any determination of policy or action or precede the presentation of the budget. For the exemption to apply, the records must be over and above primarily factual materials. The citys attorney assisted in the initial response, Hollar said.
The unions Burlington-based attorney, Jim Dunn, said those conditions make the exemption narrow and the materials should be released, at the very least with redactions. Dunn and Robert Hemley, the attorney for The Times Argus and Rutland Herald, both said at first glance the exemption also appears to apply only to municipal departments, not elected officials.
The 30th record was withheld because the city cited two exemptions to the states open records law, covering records involving the formulation of policy where (disclosure) would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and personnel files.
Dunn said the firefighters had not yet appealed the citys withholding of the documents.
Larrabee said that at the final budget meeting, the council also held breaks and then seemingly changed the course of its proceedings after he saw members talking with each other outside the meeting.
Hollar countered that, even in the Legislature, representatives will talk among themselves before casting votes, and that elected officials should be expected to discuss issues when there is not a quorum. He said private conversations can be critical to the process.

A brochure recently released by the school district shows plans to demolish and construct new buildings on the site of the existing high school campus, and renovation of other buildings on the same campus.
If the bond issue passes, the tax rate is expected to increase from $1.04 per $100 valuation to $1.33 per $100 valuation.
For a home valued at $100,000, taxes would increase by $229.50 per year if voters approve the bond issue. See next week's issue of The Karnes Countywide for a more detailed story about the bond election.

- Test for coating adhesion on flat substrates: a technical note
- Author(s)
- Leigh, Sang Ha; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- The standard tensile adhesion test (TAT), ASTM C633, has been modified to perform multiple tests on flat and wide substrates. The TAT geometry, which specifies a 1-in. (25.4-mm)-diameter cylindrical substrate, has been used as the pull-off bar. Two renditions of this test were implemented and the Weibull moduli and characteristic stresses for both test methods obtained. The modified TAT, termed as the single-bar (SB) method, yields a higher Weibull modulus and characteristic strength than the other method, which is termed the double-bar (DB) method. It is believed that the different test results between the two methods arise from different stress distributions near the interface of the coating and substrate.

Courtesy photo Buren Johnston, left, and Lee Roach at a monument in Albuquerque's Bataan Memorial Park. Johnston and Roach were two of 89 men from Curry County who survived the Bataan Death March. Roach died Thursday. Johnston is believed to be the only remaining Bataan survivor still living in Clovis.
Kevin Wilson
Thousands of American troops died during the Bataan Death March. Lee Roach of Clovis survived, and family members said he lived the rest of his life as if he was making up for lost time.
Roach, who survived more than three years as a prisoner of war, died Thursday in Farwell of failing health. He was 92.
"We've always had a deep respect for him," son Gerryl Roach said.
Born Nov. 27, 1918, in Field, Roach was remembered by his family as a caring man who was almost claustrophobic and never passed up a chance to go out, whether it was out to a local eatery for coffee or the annual trip to Branson, Mo.
"These walls just closed in on him," his wife, Una Roach said. "He wasn't one to stay home; he was always ready to go."
Roach lived a respectable life as a heating shop repairman, but was best known for his connection to a years-long nightmare of war.
Just three months after he finished basic training, Roach joined the U.S. Army's 200th Coast Artillery at Nickels Field in the Philippines.
Having lost the ability to fight an air war, many American forces withdrew with their Philippine allies and a number of civilians to the Bataan Peninsula.
With a decimated Pacific Fleet, American forces couldn't get new supplies. On April 9, 1942, with only two days of food left for his troops and facing an imminent Japanese assault, the American general commanding Bataan surrendered. Japanese soldiers began rounding up the Americans and Filipinos in small groups and marched about 100,000 malnourished and diseased men 55 miles to a railroad station.
"I don't think it was the march that killed all the people, but the lack of food and water," Roach told the CNJ in 2004. "If you couldn't keep up, they would just bayonet you right there and leave you to rot in the barrow ditch."
Roach and others worked for three years as forced laborers for the Japanese; long, hard days with minimal food and water.
"He always said the reason he got home," sister-in-law Eunice Roach said, "was the Lord brought him home."
Some 89 Clovis natives who were part of the Bataan Death March. With Roach's death, Buren Johnston is believed to be the only survivor living in Clovis. Jack Aldrich lives in Roswell and Melvin Waldmon lives in Texas.
Johnston said he met Roach in the Army, and they mostly saw each other at ceremonies and when advocacy was sought. In 2009, they joined former Clovis Mayor James Moss in an effort to ask the Clovis Municipal Schools to attach "Bataan Memorial Middle School" to a future campus.
"He was really nice to be around, be in the service with," Johnston said. "We've done a lot of things with a lot of different (organizations) since the war has been over."
Though Lee never talked about the march unless he was directly asked, his sons said he didn't shy away from details and never seemed to harbor resentment about what happened.
Instead, he set out to enjoy creating a life. Una had known of him before, since her older sister Eunice was dating Lee's older brother, Roy Roach.
"We were at a softball game at Ranchvale," Una said. "I came to Clovis with him on his motorcycle, and it just went from there."
The couples dated together, and were married in a double ceremony in May of 1946.
When the family could travel, they would. From camping in Colorado, to El Paso and Mexico visits, to motorcycle trips across the state, Gerryl said his father never passed up the chance to travel.
Lee loved old-time country music, Una said. The family went to Branson for 23 consecutive Octobers, and the Floyd Country Jamboree quickly became one of his favorite area events.
His favorite things to do, however, became any activity involving his children, his four grandchildren and his 10 great-grandchildren.
Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday at First Baptist Church, where he was a member since 1948. His family was happy and relieved to learn Friday afternoon he would receive military honors at his service, with Army representatives coming from around the state.
"I always had the utmost respect for him," son Darryl Roach said. "He wasn't just my dad, he was my friend."

Middletown Springs school budget revote set for TuesdayBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | April 29,2013MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS - Residents will return to the polls Tuesday to vote on proposed school budget.
Residents can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middletown Springs Firehouse on a proposed budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14. The budget is an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
On Town Meeting Day and by a four-vote margin, voters defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2-percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the town's common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.
