Hey Crzblue, so I finally watched The Adventures of Lil Kemp. The video was hilarious. Landon from True Blue is getting lots of free advertising. He should be paying the Dodgers for a sponsorship Lol🙂 well atleast
Matt Kemp. I'm so excited for the bobblehead tonight! I love Matt Kemp & I'm hoping he feels well enough to play tonight & that we can take another game from the Cards! Here's to another fun night at the stadium. I'll be at batting practice. I called in sick today so I have plenty of time. I'm bring Ethier's biggest fan to the game with me🙂 later!!!
Yeah, that video is hilarious! I have watched it many times. Landon said that when he first started TRUEBLUE Tatooes, he could not just catered to just Dodgers fans but that lately he has been getting a lot of Dodger fans.
Don't you hate when work gets in the way of the games, Emma? LOL. Enjoy tonight's contest and good luck.
That video was hilarious. Classic. I love when people do videos about bobbleheads!🙂
WOW!! Are the Dodgers and the Cards evenly matched in series play! Good luck to John Smoltz – I hope he has better luck back in the National League with the Dodgers.
Emma: Hope you enjoyed the game! That video was pretty funny🙂
I wish Smoltz better luck than he had with the Red Sox. Maybe the National League will be easier for him. -Virginia
I have this big project that I need to go back as far as possible to gather employee data per year. Game was a little frustrating to beat ourselves.
Too bad Kemp did not come thru on his BBH day but he was a little under the weather and so was Kershaw who was pitching. Only went 3 2/3 innings.
Well now the record is 994 to 994 but Cardinals sure do have the upper hand this year. And Smoltz went to the Cardinals, I found out at the stadium that we signed Padilla.
Yeah the video was funnnny. Kemp did get his tatoos from the TrueBlue Tatoo place in Hollywood. Landon is huge Dodger fan. When he Kemp went to his place last year he could not believe that Kemp was going to his place to have it done. He said Kemp was way cool.
Do you need me to send a Dodgers life perserver into the mass of paper to save you from the mess?
Can't miss an important game like the Cards in town against the boys in Blue.
Great that they disposed of the two-some witrh an 0-8 mark last night.
That might be the key to that series, take the big boys out and let the little hitters in the Cards try and beat you.
There are a few great series going on this week, but that is why we love this time of the year.
Rays Renegade
LOL Rays!
We were able to dispose of Pujols the night before but not last night when we beat ourselves walking hitters and the errors! We did get a request from the Cardinals to dispose of the Cubs. Let's see what we can do.
So how is LIL" KEMP doing? LOL! I'm still a little sad for yesterdays lost. Not HAPPY with RUSSELL MARTIN right now, I know he can do better than what he has been doing, but hey.. So I got a divorce from MARTIN LOL! and dropped the RUSSY from my name. Well I decided to show my support for all of the Dodgers. I just hope our DODGERS start doing better. LET'S GO DODGERS!
The Indians lost last night as well Emma. What am I going to do with them?🙂 Jeez, well the Dodgers did too, so we are in the same boat. I hope the Tribe and Dodgers win tonight. Go INDIANS AND DODGERS! I am predicting the score of the Indians game will be 5-2 Indians, and the Dodgers score to be 4-3 Dodgers. Let's see.
Hey Msdodgerrule! I like the name!
I am still so busy at work. We were all NOT HAPPY at the stadium. My friend Linda in San Diego who has a mini package was caught in a lot of traffic because of an accident so she made it in the 3rd inning. They sent her to park by the "THINK BLUE" because everything was full. I never had to park by there. Manny needs to relax at the plate. He has been striking out too many times. Russell….I don't know why he has been having those erratic throws. I could not believe we had THREE ERRORS! I hope better things are in store for the four-game series with the Cubs.
I am curious to see how the battle of the Joshes is going.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed that the Indians and Dodgers win! Let's see how close you come to those scores! I hope they come thru!
So I get a text from a cousin asking me if I could posibly get an autograph from…what is his name? John Cena who is throwing out the first ball at Dodger Stadium. I was like "Who is that?". HE is WRESTLER.. OMG! I will try to do it but I am going to look silly asking for his autograph. She wants it for one of her little nieces. Not sure about this but If I see him, I suppose I'll ask (reluctantly)
WOW… didn't realize the cards and Dodgers had played that many over the years, its great to see all time numbers, it shows how even the teams have been, good luck with getting Cena's autograph…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I think I just saw you at the game on TV, Emma.
In the 2nd inning with Furcal at the plate on ball 3 to make it a 3-2 count the camera shows either you or your twin sitting next to a young kid with a white shirt. I took a screen capture of it just for fun.
Did you get the Autograph? Well MARTIN's throws were not a problem and his GRAND SLAM was wonderful. Maybe me being MAD at him and changing my name from Ms Russy to Ms DodgersRule had something to do with it. So I will be keeping MsDodgersRule…LOL! I just hope that RUSSELL MARTIN continues playing like yesterday.
Thank you so much for the picture! That is so funny that you recoginize me seeing as we have never met in person. Lol. I love it that Matt Kemp is in the picture and you can see Tommy on the corner.
Yes! I got the autograph. I was watching him on the field. that dude is funny. He was practicing thowring with a bat boy but he missed it when he must have missed when he threw to homeplate 'cause he just threw himself on the floor. There I was with teenagers asking for his autograph. lol. RUSSELL made up big last night and we asked for a curtain call. Now we just needed him to continue like you said.
So I take it that is you then? Nice seat. It was the glasses that gave it away for me I think. You've posted lots of pictures of yourself over the last few months that I've been reading your site so I guess it just stuck in my head. You're in the camera view several seconds. I didn't even notice Tommy until now.
It's just strange because I don't watch every second of the video feed because I'm often doing other things like writing or chatting online. So to see just the right moment that you happened to be in the shot enough to recognize you just from your pictures is funny to me.
WOW! EMMA I checked out the picture by aducker. Those are great seats. Right behind Lasorda. And look at KEMP. You had a wonderful view from those seats. LUCKY! And yes hopefully Russell's game turns around for good.
Yep! that is me! At first I did not noticed Tommy ethier oops. mean either. Same with me when i am watching a game, I am chatting on line about the game.
yeah those are great seats. There is a wall separting me from Tommy though. A friend that saw the picture said "Id be looking at the back of Kemp instead." 🙂
Hey Emma, I have a new post up if you wanna stop by the blog.🙂 I love watching and writing at the same time. =) It is fun and let's your blog be better!
Thanks for the heads up. i'll check it out!

I'm Back and Catching Up
Well, I'm back from my long weekend in Chicago and ready to be a more faithful World Series blogger. When I left town on Thursday, I really didn't know if there'd be anything going on to blog about this week, but I needn't have worried.
I had a nervous stomach all day on Thursday and listening to sports talk radio most of the way as I drove from St. Louis to Chicago didn't help matters. Watching the game didn't calm me down a bit. When I saw how fired up the Mets crowd was and how well Perez was pitching, I just felt it was going to be the Mets night. The 1-1 tie kept me on the edge of my seat, but when Chavez made that amazing, acrobatic catch to rob Rolen of a homer, I was sure we were going to lose. You usually don't get another chance when something like that happens. Molina's epic homer in the top of the 9th made me whoop for joy, but I still had butterflies. When Wainwright allowed two runners to get on base and Beltran came to the plate, I got that sick feeling, as I envisioned Shea Stadium going nuts after a Beltran walk-off homer and a possible career collapse for Wainwright if he had to live with something like that for the entire off-season. Fortunately, he pitched his way out of it and we won! I had to pinch myself.
When I woke up the next morning, my first thought was "The Cardinals are in the World Series," and I had to stop myself and make sure I didn't just have some crazy dream. My last comment on the NLCS would just be to congratulate the Mets on a fantastic season and thank them for a hard-fought series. I can't remember a playoff series that was more exciting.
So, the wedding reception was Saturday night so I missed Game 1, and I was out having dinner with friends I hadn't seen in quite a while last night, so I missed most of Game 2. I got back in time for the 9th inning, which was another nail-biter. We almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, but Yadi couldn't conjure up any more heroics. Still, I feel good about us winning a game in Detroit, and I think we set ourselves up well for the games here in St. Louis. Go Carp!
1 Comment
Yes, the NLCS was one of the most exciting series played in a long time and definitely THE most exciting this year.
Yet, if you read anything by AL bloggers all they do is complain how boring the NLCS was to watch.
Boring? Boring was the A's/Twins and Tigers/A's. The only thing remotely exciting about the AL this year was the Tigers coming back to beat the Yanks.

Maine's prominent Oakhurst Dairy soldBy DAVID SHARP
The Associated Press | February 03,2014AP file photo
In this 2003 file photo a bottle of milk is displayed at Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine. Oakhurst announced Friday the dairy had been sold to Kansas-based Dairy Farmers of America.PORTLAND, Maine — Oakhurst Dairy, the largest milk processor in northern New England, has been sold to a national dairy farmer-owned cooperative, allowing the family-owned business to continue to operate independently while providing opportunities for growth, company officials announced Friday.
Operators of Portland-based Oakhurst said the agreement with Kansas City, Mo.-based Dairy Farmers of America will open up new markets and fuel future growth.
The current management team remains in place and there will be no change for Oakhurst's 210 employees or the 70 independent dairy farms that supply milk, said Bill Bennett, Oakhurst chairman.
"We feel this is the best opportunity for our employees, customers and farmers. It also allows us to keep our commitments in the community and to grow," said his brother, John Bennett, Oakhurst's co-president.
Dairy Farmers of America is the largest milk-marketing co-op in the nation, representing 8,000 farms and 13,000 farmers, said Pat Panko, chief operating officer of the co-op's milk and ice cream division.
Part of the reason that Oakhurst and Dairy Farmers of America began discussions is that no one at family-owned Oakhurst was in line to run the company, Oakhurst officials said. The Bennett family has owned the milk-processing and bottling plant through three generations — for more than 90 years.
DFA has been increasing its investments in milk and ice cream by buying other regional dairy processing facilities, including Guida's Dairy in Connecticut, Kemps in Minnesota and Dairy Maid Dairy in Maryland.
These local brands continue to run and function as separate, independent businesses.
The Bennetts said it was important to the family that the company survives and thrives.
"It really is an exciting change for us. I say 'change' but nothing is going to change for us," Bill Bennett said. "It just makes a ton of sense."

Spotted: Salma Hayek Playing With A Fireman's Hose In NYC
Here's one for the guys and the gals. We spotted Salma Hayek on her way into the "Late Show With David Letterman" on Wednesday having a little fun with some of New York City's finest.
The actress hung out with a group of sexy firefighters and at one point even played with a piece of their equipment. Sound scandalous? Nope! She just posed for photos while grabbing one of their hoses.
Hayek looked sleek and sexy in a leather skirt, satin jacket and fishnet stockings. She wore multiple rings and other jewelry, including a cuff on her right hand. She recently told Harper's Baazar that she's "short and chubby," but we think she still looks incredible at 46.
The actress stars in the upcoming film "Here Comes The Boom" about a high-school teacher (Kevin James), who risks his life as a mixed-martial-arts fighter in order to rescue his school's music program.

Montpelier says district energy cost overrun not it's problem
MONTPELIER — The city told the state Friday that it won't pay part of a cost overrun on the district heat project but is open to helping in other ways.
The state asked the city to cover 24 percent of the $2.3 million increase for the heat plant the state is installing behind the Motor Vehicles Department building.
The city is ready to build a distribution pipeline to municipal and private buildings.
"These cost overruns really have nothing to do with the city," Mayor John Hollar said Friday. "We have not been involved in the state's budgeting for the plant, its design work, its specific cost elements. We have just been asked to pay for it."
Hollar indicated the city doesn't have any money to give the state.
Washington County Sen. Ann Cummings, vice chairwoman of the Senate Institutions Committee, said Friday the Legislature will have to look at all the options, which could include walking away from the project, finding the money elsewhere or downsizing the project.
State officials said the increase was discovered last week and attributed it to an expedited work schedule and unforeseen construction costs. The increase brings the state's side of the project to $18.1 million.
So far, the state has allocated around $14 million, of which $3 million has already been spent, said a manager for the project, Joe Aja, after his presentation to the council Thursday. Certain allocations have provisions for opting out of scheduled work, he said.
The city's side of the project is around $4 million. So far, around $2.1 million has been spent, and canceling the project would cost an additional $2.6 million, city officials said.
"It really is not reasonable to expect the city to pay," Hollar said. "If we had surplus funds, maybe it would be reasonable. But we relied on the state's prior budget estimates to enter into binding agreements with private users."
Buildings and General Services Commissioner Michael Obuchowski said during the Thursday meeting that estimates by their nature are subject to change.
The city already has made arrangements for customers to hook up to the pipeline. As part of addressing the projected deficit, Montpelier offered to renegotiate a contract it has with the state, to allow the state higher rates for additional future customers.
The city also offered to share any surpluses it may derive from the operation of the pipeline, Hollar said. Another possibility is to wait and decide how the costs will be borne after the state and city finish their projects.
The state also is interested in parking spaces in front of the Statehouse, possibly switching them to diagonal spots and issuing permits, Hollar said. That option appeared tangential to the conversation Friday, he said, because the city has sought to make the district heat project self-sufficient.

Tonight, as I am writing this article, my four dogs are lounging on the couch, there's a fire in the stove, our house is toasty warm and all their bellies are full. They are lucky dogs, and I imagine that many of The River Reporter's readers' dogs are living the same type of life. I find that many dog lovers think of their furry friends as family, and treat them as such. Our dogs don't want for much, they receive routine veterinary care, quality food, toys, and they often accompany us on our travels about town. It's not surprising then that most of us will include our dogs on our holiday gift list. Like I said, our dogs are lucky.
Unfortunately, our communities are full of less fortunate dogs (and other animals) that are homeless, lost, hungry, abused, or abandoned. All of our local shelters have an abundance of animals in need of new homes. During this season of giving, there are many things you can do to help the less fortunate animals in our neighborhoods. A donation to your local animal shelter can top the list. While many people will drop of a bag of food or toys/treats for the animals, I've come up with a list of other items that may help as well.
1. Office supplies such as pens, paper and postage stamps
2. Pet grooming supplies such as shampoo, towels and brushes, a good pair of clippers
3. Gift certificates to local pet supply stores (Many shelters become overwhelmed with donations of food this time of year, and a gift card will allow them to get what they really need when they need it.)
4. Offer to pay one month's utility bill
5. Donate your time to help with a fundraiser, or to visit and socialize with the animals
6. Cat litter; even though it doesn't sound too exciting, most shelters go through hundreds of pounds a month.
7. Gently used towels and blankets
8. If your local shelter has a thrift store, donate your gently used household items there.
9. Cleaning and laundry supplies, such as bleach, laundry detergent and dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper
10. Adopt your new pet rather than buy it; you will open up a cage for the next needy animal and save a life.
I am sure that any of the above items would be greatly appreciated by all of our local animal sheltering organizations. If you are unsure what may be the best donation, it can be a good idea to call and ask what they need the most. Shelter staff and volunteers will let you know what their most important, immediate need is.
And while you are at it, take the time to give a big "thank you" to the shelter staff and volunteers who work tirelessly day in and day out to give so much to the community and its animal population. A tray of fresh baked cookies, a gift certificate for a staff lunch from a local pizzeria, a basket of bagels with cream cheese, a box of chocolates will go a long way in helping to show your appreciation of the good work they do.
From our house to yours, we wish you all a safe and happy holiday season.

BLM to Conduct Prescribed Burn in Tooele County
Salt Lake City, Utah—Bureau of Land Management (BLM) West Desert District fire personnel are planning to conduct a prescribed burn in western Tooele County, Utah. The prescribed burn is planned to occur as early as April 24, 2013, and burning activities may extend through the following week. The burn will be conducted within the Union Pacific Railroad easement on BLM-administered lands near I-80 between the communities of Delle and Clive.
The primary objective of this prescribed burn is to reduce the potential fire hazard created by tumbleweeds that have accumulated on both sides of the railroad tracks. Burning will occur in different sections along the railroad, totaling 15-30 acres. The burn is being conducted while adjacent vegetation is in a green-up stage and unlikely to carry fire outside the designated burn area.
Smoke and flames may be visible from I-80, but travel should not be affected. Prescribed burn operations are expected to last two to four days.
For more information about prescribed fire, go to: www.utahfireinfo.gov.
Follow us on Twitter @BLMUtah
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

text: My daughter is 4m and for the last couple of weeks I find that every few days I don't seem to have enough milk for her. Now I know that putting her to the breast is the best way to increase my supply, but she gets extremely frustrated, and won't stay on for very long at a time. Therefore it can take me a long time to get let-down (particularly in afternoon/evening). Last night I even got my 23m old daughter to latch on so that she could stimulate the let-down, then put my baby to the breast! (23m old still has one feed per day in the mornings after baby). So I have started trying to pump after some feeds, but of course can't get a let-down with the pump, so hardly get anything. Is it worth pumping when I can't get much milk out? Is there any other reason for slow let-down (other than low supply)? What can I do? My daughter is exclusively bf, and is on Losec and Gaviscon for silent reflux. She has never gained weight very fast. On Saturday we threw her pacifier away (which we'd been using since she was 4wks old, only for sleep times). Any ideas? Thanks!

Note: Lane Co. phone number has changed 5/17/16
Consumers are often advised to shop early for the holidays, even months ahead, to save time and money. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is alerting consumers that they may have bought children's items that have since been recalled. Hal Stratton, in his first news conference as CPSC Chairman, announced a list of some of the Commission's largest recalls of children's products over the past year.
"We've made our list and want consumers to check it twice," said Stratton. "Preventing needless tragedies and providing a safe environment are the best holiday gifts parents can provide their children."
Stratton also discussed hazardous products that consumers may have in their homes that could endanger children, as families gather for the holidays. Consumers should check whether products have been recalled and dispose of them or place them out of the reach of children until they can be replaced or repaired. Manufacturers will usually offer a free repair kit or replacement product.
The CPSC is also providing safety tips (see box) to help consumers choose appropriate toys this holiday season and year round.
Consumers can get the list of recalled products by going to the CPSC website, www.cpsc.gov, or calling toll free, 1-800-638-2772. This list identifies recalled children's products that are off store shelves but may still be lurking in garages, attics, basements, toy boxes or closets.
- Gearbox Pedal Cars (75,000) distributed by Alpha International Inc. The paint on some of these pedal cars contains high lead levels. CPSC standards ban toys and other children's products containing high levels of lead. Young children could ingest the lead from the car's paint coating, presenting a lead poisoning hazard. Call Alpha International at (800) 368-6367 to receive a replacement car or return the product to the place where purchased to receive a full refund.
- Air Powered Rockets (140,000) distributed by Estes Industries. The rockets' foam tips can break off exposing sharp edges that can cause face lacerations or eye injuries. The rocket system also has a weak pump handle that can break during use, posing a risk of hand lacerations. Estes and CPSC have received 16 reports of rocket tips breaking off. Six children were struck in the face by the rockets, including two who suffered detached retinas and four who suffered cuts requiring stitches. There were 68 reports of broken pump handles, including 6 hand lacerations. Call Estes Industries toll-free at (800) 576-5811 to get a replacement rocket.
- Firestormer and Skyblazer toy air-powered planes (137,000) distributed by Spin Master Toys. The plastic air intake chamber of the air-powered toy planes can burst, throwing plastic pieces, posing a laceration, bruise and abrasion hazard to consumers. Spin Master Toys received seven reports of Firestormer planes bursting, including four reports of injuries (chest abrasion, cut leg, bruised shoulder, and ringing in the ears) to children. There have been no reports involving the Skyblazer planes. Call Spin Master Toys at (800) 622-8339 to get a free replacement plane or visit www.spinmaster.com.
- Animal Toy Sponges (280,000) distributed by Dollar Tree Stores. The eyes on the toys can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Dollar Tree Stores received one report of an eye coming off. Return the toy sponge animals to the store where purchased for a full refund. Call Dollar Tree Stores at (800) 876-8077 or visit www.dollartree.com
- Stuffed Polyester Pool Animals (310,000) distributed by Dollar Tree Stores. The seams can separate exposing the polyester stuffing and foam beads. The foam beads pose a choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Dollar Tree Stores have received one report of the seam ripping, exposing the polyester stuffing and a plastic bag containing foam beads. Return the stuffed animals to the store where purchased for a full refund. Call Dollar Tree Stores at (800) 876-8077 or visit www.dollartree.com

Apocalypse Postponed: an Art Bar by Nadim Abbas
Art Basel in Hong Kong, May 2014
Hong Kong born and based artist Nadim Abbas is collaborating with Absolut to create an Art Bar Installation in Hong Kong for the duration of Art Basel in Hong Kong: Apocalypse Postponed – a bunker set in the skyline of Hong Kong.
Abbas studied art at London's Chelsea School of Art, as well as Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong. His Art Bar, Apocalypse Postponed, investigates areas beyond rudimentary contemporary art-related topics. Intrigued by bunkers, war and technology, these interest areas are reflected in the Art Bar collaboration.
An exclusive first look at Apocalypse Postponed
Nadim Abbas's Absolut Art Bar, "Apocalypse Postponed": a cyberpunk bunker located on the 17th floor of the newly-opened Soundwill Plaza II–Midtown located in Causeway Bay, a notoriously dense and overpopulated section of Hong Kong. The location was perfect. Not yet renovated and thus still a grey concrete shell, the space was conceived by Abbas in collaboration with Sebastien Saint-Jean, with wall-to-wall sandbags framing metal-framed windows. A soundscape designed by Steve Hui filled the gaps in a performance programme co-curated by Xue Tan and Shane Aspergen, while a series of animations produced by Wong Ping added to the weird science fiction. In one four-screen installation, Wong Ping presented images that included a man humping a rice weevil (the rice weevil being one of the conceptual anchors for the project), a woman rope-bound and hanging from the ceiling, and a figure sitting alone in a room. In all, the project recalled an obvious reference: "Blade Runner," a movie that is often associated with Hong Kong's urban landscape, while referencing certain themes in Abbas's work—for one, the concept of the Otaku—the isolated cyber-obsessive who lives reclusively, finding company in a virtual world. See our great moments during Art Basel in Hong Kong here.
The cocktail collection by Nadim Abbas and Absolut
鐵飯碗 (Iron Rice Bowl)
Puffed rice infused Absolut Vodka and White Chocolate syrup stirred and served straight up in a metal rice bowl.
Absolut vodka, Sake, Guava, Lime, Ginger, Lime leaf syrup, Club Soda and Calcium. Shaken and served straight up in a plastic highball together with a Calcium tablet and Ginger pipet.
2666: A Space Cocktail
Absolut vodka, Pomegranate, Beetroot, Citrus, Ginseng tea and Absinth. Served in space vacuum drink pack.
Black Dog
Absolut Elyx, Lapsang tea reduction and Cherry liqueur. Stirred and served over a large ice cube into an aluminum muffin cup.

Lawyers wade into Callicoon comp plan battle; Slottjes ask county planning commissioner to reject town's submission
January 30, 2013 —
As officials of the Town of Callicoon move forward to adopt a controversial comprehensive plan, two prominent environmental attorneys are acting on behalf of a "number of residents" of the town.
Helen and David Slottje of the Community Environmental Defense Council, who have advised numerous towns in the state about the adoption of bans or moratoria regarding hydraulic fracturing, have written an 11-page letter to Sullivan County planning commissioner Luiz Aragon, urging the rejection of the town's submission for what is called a 239 Review.
Some town actions regarding zoning require such a review by the county planning department, during which the county determines whether the action will have any adverse intercommunity impacts. In the letter, the Slottjes assert that the town has committed several procedural errors in the comprehensive plan process. Perhaps chief among them is that, according to the letter, supervisor Tom Bose filled out an Environmental Assessment Form, but he did not do so at a public meeting, and he did not have authorization from the town board to do so.
The letter also charges that the town failed to submit to the county a "full statement of such proposed action" as required by law. Further, the letter charges that the proposed comprehensive plan, "as presently drafted, is not in the best interest of the people of the town (as compared to a minority of large landowners)."
It's not entirely clear what the result would be if the county rejected the submission, or determined that there would be negative county-wide, intercommunity impacts, because town boards are free to ignore the recommendations or decisions of the county planning board.
The proposed comprehensive plan has been the subject of much debate in the town, and according to surveys, a petition and public hearings, a majority of residents are opposed to the plan because it invites gas drilling and fracking into the town.
Bose did not immediately respond to a request for comment; nor did Aragon, who is leaving the county government to accept a position in Westchester County on February 11.
There will be a public hearing on the plan on Wednesday, February 6 at 7 p.m. at the town hall in Jeffersonville.

Words matterJune 12,2014
Words matter
Words are a way of expressing oneself and communicating ideas. The average American women can speak 20,000 to 24,000 words a day versus a mans top end of 7,000 to 10,000. Like most people with a career and friends and family we hear on average 30,000 to 100,000 words in a day. Do we think about even half of the words we say in a day?
I have been known to just say what is on my mind and not give much thought to what is coming out of my mouth. Why would I? They are just words. There isnt anything that could possibly go wrong with that, right? Well, nothing could be farther from the truth. There have been many occasions I wish I could take back the words that went flying out of my mouth. Things sometimes said with the best intention can be taken the wrong way, or even worse taken exactly how they have been said. Many relationships are ruined by misplaced words that come from misplaced emotions.
With that being said (yeah, more words are coming), think about all of the words you say: Do they uplift, help, encourage and support your fellow man? Or are you one of the people who talk to hear yourself talk about everything and everyone no matter what it is? Gossip and negative words can be just as detrimental to you and the people youre talking to as they are to the person youre talking about. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin are reporting that the activation of brain regions associated with negative emotions appears to weaken peoples immune response to a flu vaccine.
I fall short of being truly positive all of the time, but I am constantly working on it, and I know for fact I am happier and healthier because of it. I challenge all of you who read this to try just for one day to say only words that will uplift, shine a positive light and make our society and world a better place. Try it for a week and see how you feel. I know from personal experience the only thing I have control over is myself, my actions and my words. I will not let anything I have no control over impact me negatively. I will choose to keep myself and my words positive. Will you?

UPDATE (5:50 p.m.): Jim Salisbury of the Inquirer says it's a fraying of the labrum of the hip. His surgery (which he has to agree upon) is like those of Alex Rodriguez and Chase Utley. They needed about four-to-five months for recovery; that alone would end Myers' season.
Todd Zolecki is reporting Brett Myers will likely have hip surgery and be out for the remainder of the 2009 season. As Myers is a free agent at the end of the season, he may have thrown his final pitch as a Phillie.
More when it comes.

Jake Peavy where art thou?
wow. it is HIGHLY unlikely that the team will resign him given his performance this year and how much money he will want next year.
who will we call up? carrasco? bastardo? park from the pen?
that sucks.
He won't be back. I'll miss ya Brett.
Ruben…go make a trade.
Someone who wants to win a ring. (and someone who wont demand Drabek)
They just read a report from the Phillies org., there are bone spurs on his x-ray and fraying and possible tearing of the labrum, they will seek a second opinion, he will likely miss his next start. (Being optimistic, I guess).
With Myers going down and are prospects limited i say we hit a homerun with 1 pitcher and that name is Halladay why unload for a uncertain peavy worrying about his family and others when we can go for Halladay a guaranteed workhorse and a potential 20game winner year after year. I would rather unload prospects for him if anything.
brett 🙁
At the start of the year it was:
Now Park is in the bullpen and Myers is likely done for the year and maybe as a Phillie.
Here is my opinion on what should happen:
Hamels is the number 1 guy Period. Moyer should be bumped to the 5th starter. Happ is the 4th starter. Blanton is 3rd. We have many really talented minor league players in our farm systems to trade and Kyle Kendrick has had success in the MLB. We should trade kendrick and two other prospects for a talented pitcher like Brandon Webb, Jake Peavy etc. The question is who replaces Myers as the second starter in the rotation for the moment? Do phils bring park back in rotation? Do they call up Kendrick or another pitching prospect? Or do they trade for a pitcher right now? Who knows and hey Brett Myers might've thrown his last pitch as a phillie? Atleast Myers won't break the all time record for most homers allowed by pitcher in one year.
I really think if Myers hip was never hurting he would never allowed all those bombs and instead of that 4-3 record that could be 6-2 or somethin and we would won more games. I mean with that bad hip and all those homers he allowed, he was still pitching solid.
Now we will find out if they are serious about winning now. THEY BETTER BE! No prospect should be unavailable.
This is the kind of story where at the end of the season when your team just missed the playoffs, you point to it and say, "that's where it started to go down hill". It sure started last night.
There is no stopping the bleeding on losing Myers. It's go all in on Peavy or nothing pretty much. Even then, we still have Moyer and Blanton who are on this path of uncertainty. This is not good at all.
sounds like what Chase had….
get surgery don't be dumb.
he wont be a Phillie.
Drabek and Bastardo arent ready..
Carassco would be iffy to call up
KK is an option..
Park stays in pen.
Oswaly, Bedard are likely…Peavy doubtful..
mikemike, if you're there, you know alot about the minor leaguers, the guy on now is saying that Worley at Reading is ready to come up, his coach is insisting he's ready. Is that true, do you know?
I agree on the prospects. I think we will see after the second opinion and the final report on Myers and see how serious the Phillies are about winning this year. I think we can realistically get Peavy or maybe Roy Oswalt would be another great pick up.
Halladay would be the perfect choice for this team. Peavy's worrying already has me off his bandwagon but if anything would make the fans happy its Halladay.
That's a damn shame. I'll miss him also, if he doesn't come back, even though much of the time he was never quite as good as I hoped he would be. However, he was a big part of the last year's championship run, and that's what I'll rememer most about him as a Phillie if he's not here in 2010.
The thing is we are gonna give some talented prospects (not Joe Savery, Antonio Bastardo, Travis D'Arnaud and Michael Taylor) than we should trade them for a really good pitcher and the only one that comes to mind is Roy Halladay. I've been to many Blue Jay Games (I live in ottawa) and he is just dominant and calm. He is the second pitcher only in MLB History to go atleast 7 innings in his first 11 starts. He's like 8-2 but he doesn't get much run support and yesterday the Blue Jays bullpen blew a 5 run lead which got Halladay the no decision. The blue jays are struggling and they have a young rotation and are looking for young players and Halladay wants to be a winner.
Halladay would be a good send no offense to Hamels and others but Halladay is currently the best pitcher in the game.
They were throwing out Vance Worley as a possible call up for Myers at the moment.
According to Murphy, Kendrick has no chance.
Halladay aint going anywhere if the Jays stay somewhat close in the standings.
Our prospects aren't as bad.
Drabek will be filthy when he is ready…which is a year away probably
Bastardo needs more time..
KK has MLB success…but his stuff isnt there, guys figured him out and he let it get to his head.
Carassco is probably the closest they got, but I don't think he is ready either.
Donald, Brown, Marson, Mayberry….all trade bait at this point.
Bedard, Oswalt…those are the 2 main guys
Peavy i really doubt becomes a Philie
I dont know much about Worley..
The blue jays have lost 9straight its not long now b4 they're out of the race.
those of you who wanted a trade will see one, wouldn't be surprised to see Jarrod Washburn.
I would much rather have Bedard or Oswalt than Peavy, as long as the price isn't too steep. Halladay would be the absolute best option and worth the price. I think Toronto may have just got a dose of reality these past 9 games. They just don't have enough to contend in that division. They have the best weapon, but not the supporting cast. Make the deal.
Halladay's only available if the Blue Jays don't think they can re-sign him and thats far from being clear.
Makes sense that the Phils will go for a rental here.
So sorry to read of the results from Myers' MRI. The Phillies' have been thrown a curve in their outlook on the rotation and the recent good outings.
The organization now have to set the wheels in motion on immediate moves with Myers' probable DL stay and surgery.
The temporary solution is looking within at someone like Kyle Kendrick who pitched 6 innings allowed 3 runs against Buffalo on Wednesday to lower his ERA to 4.25. He would probably be the choice unless they go to Chan Ho Park out of the bullpen.
What happens when JC Romero returns on June 3rd will be another interesting situation. The only reliever in the bullpen with options left is Taschner. Unless the Phillies decide to keep 13 pitchers and go with a four man bench, they probably will optioned Taschner to the minors.
Kyle Kendrick if called, will stay in the rotation until Amaro finds a pitcher outside the organization that won't cost an arm or a leg and/or boatload of prospects. On the other hand, if Kendrick repeats his 2007 success, the need for another starter becomes moot.
if they give up Drabek that will be the biggest regret for the Phils because he will be the second coming of Hamels. Halladay would be a great fit for the phils, but what they have to give up for him will tell if the deal comes through.
Bruce, their not going to bring up Kendrick.
I think I would rather look internally than jump the gun and unload for a rental…..this is the same situation that happened two years ago with Kendrick….and no one that he was ready and he held his own for the rest of the season and we won the division. The problem with the big trade is it's more than likely going to cost one of the starters in the minors that is just about ready….which you then lose the option to replace Moyer or Blanton or Happ if it comes to that.
It's just my opinion but I think patience is a little more important here. The last thing we need is to bring a guy in that will help only marginally better for a too steep price because clubs know we're straining now.
It's not going to be easy…but it's not the end of the world.
And that's my two cents.
Wow. This is bad. Real bad.
The Dipsy
Brett, we hardly know ye. Next year he'll be 29. I'd bring him back at 3yr/20m.
The Dipsy
Its not the Phils MO to make the big move. we were in essentially the same situation last year except in stead of surgery, Myers couldnt throw a strike and we went out and got….Joe Blanton when Sabbathia and Harden were on the market. I think Amaro is going to look at that and say why should I sell the farm for Peavey Oswalt or Halladay when we were beating Milwaukee w Sabbathia last season?
HA! Dipsy there is no way he would accept that. He will want ten a year at least. The only way he comes back to the team IMO is for a one year stint at a bit of a discount to prove himself healthy. This BLOWS.
If this was it for Myers as a Philly I won't remember him as a dissapointment. The fact of the matter is that by going down to the minors last year and fixing himself he made this team a serious World Series contender and we wouldn't have won it without him. That Sabathia at-bat will forever go down in Phillies folklore.
The difference happy noose is that we did at least get Blanton and then Myers WAS our big splash when he returned. He was electric when he came back and was a solid number two to finish out the year. It looks as if he won't be available to be that guy this year.
How about one of those NBA type trades…Where one team says sure I'll trade you my best player but since I don't really want to your gonna have to take a bad contract also
The Phillies get Halladay but agree to take on most of all of Veron Wells' contract? (09 $10mil, 10 $21mil, 11 $23mil can opt out after season, 12 $21mil, 13 $21mil, 14 $21mil, 15 FA) or Alex Rios' not near as bad contract? (09 $5.9mil, 10 $9.7mil, 11 $12mil, 12 $12mil, 13 $12.5mil, 14 $12.5mil, 15 $13.5mil club option w/$1mil buyout, 2016: FA)
Philles trade Victorino and some combo of Carrasco, Knapp, Savery, Worley, Bostardo, Marson, Donald, Mayberry, Brown, Taylor…. and a lesser prospect or two?
meant "most of or all" sorry
At first they have to bring up from within; here's why…
If they try to make the trade now, the Phillies are the ones that are desperate and don't hold any leverage in the dealings and will be gutted for a guy like Halladay or even Oswalt.
In this situation a guy like Kendrick seems perfect (or Carpenter for that matter). He is a guy who fits the bill as not going to bust onto the scene, because we've already seen what he can do. So he comes in and does the job and stabilizes the rotation then the Phillies can go into trade talks saying we don't really NEED a new guy so we don't have to give you everything. That's the only way the Phillies can come out of thsi looking good. So I'd say wait a little while, see what our callup can do and then go into talks that way.
NOW you can resign him for cheap. 2-3 years, 7M plus incentives each year…Hed go for that.
Meanwhile…theres going to be a major trade by the end of the weekend. they basically have no choice.
Kendrick, Carpenter, those guys cant replace Brett MYers. Carrasco is getting tuned up down there, hes not ready yet. Stutes regressed, Knap is too young. Bastardo doesnt have the stamina to start, Worley is a question mark, Drabek is to valuable to risk ruining.
They have a problem.
I think the smart move for right now is to bring somebody up to pitch and buy time to evaluate the trade market. I think one of the AA pitchers fit the bill better here than the AAA guys. If a lot of teams with good arms fall out of contention it could allow the Phils to get a guy without having to empty the farm.
Regarding Halladay. If he can be had for a fair price Reuben Amaro should pull the trigger without thinking. Hamels and Halladay at the top of your rotation? That would be the best 1-2 in baseball by a long shot.
Interesting if Myers has the surgery Chase and A-Roid had, how come Chase needed several months to recover and A-roid needed what two months to recover can anyone say A-Roid used some illegal substances to heal himself just an interesting thought!!!
Now back to Myers, yeah Doc would be nice, Peavey no way, he is staying west, there are some free agents who didn't sign because they were injured in the Off Season, one I am thinking of is Ben Sheets, sign him up Ruby, what can it hurt.
Arod did not have the same surgery. They just removed. They will go back in at the end of the season. Im glad Myers is down. I hate him.
Best wishes Brett!
Geoff – I agree. Re-sign him now, Brett has been great lately, I think we need him!
Brett Myers has had a nice run with the Phillies, but it had to end.
In a way, I'm kind of glad this injury happened. The last thing that I wanted was for Brett to have a 13-8 type year with a 4.30 ERA.. just good enough for the Phillies to get lulled into another long term deal with him.
This injury won't prove to be that bad for the team as a whole. Carpenter/Kendrick can come in and give 80% of what Myers gave you. I don't think this is as much of a problem as most people think it is.
Sucks, Brett was a competitor. No matter how he pitched, you could see on his face that he cared about the win more than anyone else on the field.
Lets go Mets. We will win the divison
Why not take a chance and sign Ben Sheets? That way you get an impact pitcher without having to gut the farm system by trading for a big name. Kendrick or Carrasco or Worley or someone can hold down the fort for a couple of months until Sheets returns with a fresh arm for the stretch run.
Stop with the Halladay. He isnt available yet. The Jays are sucking now, but baseball is a long season and I doubt they trade him until August, if at all. And what is this Halladay + Wells for like 6 people? This isnt a video game. Those trades rarely happen. I can only think of one recently where a teams two best players were traded in one deal (tigers getting cabrera and willis), and in that trade the tigers gave up two stud prospects to get them. If the Jays are gonna move Wells AND Halladay, they arent going to do it for victorino and a couple lesser prospects. You dont build around Vic, hes 29 with plus defense, average bat, below average power, good speed. The most likely scenario would be Bedard. I dont know Oswalts or Webbs situation. They may have friendly deals that their teams have no interest in moving. Either way, getting an ace isnt gonna happen for less than 4 prospects, unless you give up 3 studs.
Worley has 57 innings with 2.84 era has given up 42 hits. the phillies jump him a level along with Stutes, he is a college player, so that helps. no one has any info yet tried to see if the guys who write reports on prospect know anything, nothing yet, Bastardo is small and tends to lose some velcoity late in game, He pitch 7 great innings today, carpenter has been better as of late. the manager at reading did say he thinks Worley can get hitters out at the big league level. but only 57 innings a jump in class don't see it. I think it Bastardo or carpenter. the phillies tend to move slow with prospect, remember Utley and Howard, waited a extra year. My problem with bastardo is four lefthand pitcher ,that would mean blanton would move to 2 after hamels,
Noooooooooooooooooo whyyyyy 🙁 done for the rest of the season???? I feel really bad for Brett and I'm scared about our chances this season now. We'll need Bedard now… But I'm really upset with this whole situation…Brett is a great guy and a good pitcher….we need him.
On what planet is Brett "I beat my wife" Myers a great guy? I guess in Philadelphia your just a different class of individuals.
Give that sh*t a rest… He's always out there on the mound, never wants to leave the mound, always wanting to help his team win. All the best to Brett, he loves Philadelphia and I hope he can come back later this season.
Dan…with all of the high profile athletes that are full-blown criminals nowadays, is it really necessary to always bring up the wife beater stuff? Listen the guy made a mistake, one that was public. I could name another 100 or so for you if you wanted. We can still appreciate him as an individual and a ballplayer even if we are disgusted with something he did in the past.
Seriously Dan, that's uncalled for, obviously no one on here condones violence against women. Myers is a good teammate and tries to do his best to help them win, we all have skeletons in our closets, luckily most of us don't have them aired in public.
Dan you are an asshole
Sign Sheets in two to three weeks after the June Draft
Well first of all this just sucks for Brett Myers, a guy who, I think, genuinely felt he owed the organization his best efforts after last year, and worked his butt off to come to camp ready to roll. I think he was just starting to turn the corner for this year. If this is indeed his last act as a Phillie, then I'm glad that he, like Burrell, got his ring, at the least.
In the meantime, I think we need to call someone up. As Tim said, we can't overreact, because we'll end up overpaying for a starter, mortgaging our suddenly deep farm system, and not getting the value in return we should be getting.
I think Worley deserves first chance in the short term, with Carpenter 2nd. I think we could later bring up Carrasco, if he shows he can put together some solid starts. Bastardo I think has the best long term potential, but he's just recently been called up to AAA, and staying there would do wonders for his development.
I really feel like we need to take a deep breath though, wait this out a few starts, and then decide in what direction we should go.
I agree with you Steve-o. I do believe that's the Phillies organization approach to this dilemma with Myers. Obviously, any decision(s) to be made is on hold until Myers receives his second opinion from another doctor. Myers will need surgery during or after the season. From what I read, there is the possibility of a less invasive hybrid typed surgery that temporiarly secured the labrium until another surgery after the season. That is what A-Rod chose to do in his early recovery and return to play after minor surgery in March.
There is a question in my mind about Myers that has not been brought up here or even by Tim Malcolm. It was reported that Myers has had this hip inflammation in various degrees of discomfort even before the season started. Did Myers withhold this information from Manuel and pitching coach, Dubee in hopes he could ride out the pain as the season started? Was there another reason for him not to reveal this problem that eventually got worst? Did he have concerns about his soon to be expired contract and possible free agency route during the off season? I hope not. I bring this up because I can not understand why an athlete making an enviable living would not take better care of his body in a profession that demands great physical exertion. If indeed Myers deliberately kept silent with his ongoing problem, he did a disservice to his team and himself.

Transparency, proper scrutiny, accountability, and capable cost effective investment of Taxpayer Dollars.
5. The current mayor and the City Council have had disagreements about several city issues lately. If elected mayor, what will you do to work with the City Council?
Your statement is incorrect. It should be 'some of the Council' has had disagreements with the Mayor. Disagreements are good and shold be expected. We have a system set up and we should follow it to the T. I would although push for Roberts Rules Seminars for all Elected Officials and Department Heads by our very own local Robert Rules Professional Robert Monk.
6. How will you balance the city budget?
I have a firm belief that transparency and accurate new Bookkeeping Software will help bring us to a balanced Budget.

No, and we should also quit dreaming up fees, licenses, and permits to make more taxpayer cash flow.
8. How long have you lived in La Crosse?
In the area since 1977.
9. What do you like most and least about living in La Crosse?
Most- The geographic beauty.

La Crosse's only active missing person case might not actually be a case of a missing person at all.
Madeline Edman was reported missing more than eight years ago, on July 29, 2005, when she was just 15.
Tuesday. the National Center for Missing Children released a digitally-enhanced photo showing what Madeline would look like now, at age 23.
The case is the La Crosse Police Department's only active one, and officers say they have no new leads. But Madeline's family says she's not missing at all.
"Her sister's friends and other people I know have seen her, like at Wal-Mart or at the doctor's office, and they told me that they seen her," said Madeline's grandmother, Maureen Edman.
She added Madeline had a troubled childhood, and if she really is in the area, she likely wants nothing to do with her family.
Police say they haven't received any information about Madeline's whereabouts in several years.
"The early part of the investigation, we're talking several year ago, was the last updated info we had that she may still be in the area," said Sgt. Randy Rank. "For the last several years, we have not received that information."
Despite a rocky relationship with her granddaughter, Maureen said she misses her every day.
"When you do something special that she used to do, you miss her," she said.
"I wish she'd come home."
Maureen said she doesn't know exactly where Madeline might be living now, though she thinks it's in the area. Madeline's mother Kathy died several years ago, and her father now lives in Kenosha.
Madeline Edman is described as both hispanic and white.
Police say whether she's still in the area or not, the family and investigators, who have been waiting for more than 8 years, still want closure.
Maureen is described as both Hispanic and white, and she has one blue eye and one green eye. She also has a scar on her left leg and several tattoos. If you have any information on her whereabouts, you can call the La Crosse police at 608-785-5962 or the National Center for Missing Children at 1-800-843-5678.

In Marshfield, 3 domestic assaults in 1 week
BARRE Over the past week alone, police say there have been three incidents of domestic assault in Marshfield, a town with a population of just over 1,500 people.
Meg Kuhner is the co-director of Circle, the nonprofit organization in Washington County that provides support and services to victims and survivors of domestic violence. Kuhner said Wednesday that one of the tactics abusers use to maintain power and control over their victims is isolation. And parts of Marshfield can indeed seem isolated.
Its in his best interest to keep her isolated, she said. Because then her whole world view is kind of filtered through him. We work with victims a lot of times who live at the end of a long driveway or the end of a dirt road where no one is going to hear them screaming for help.
Although she said men are also victims of domestic violence, it is predominately a womans issue, with women being the victims in 85 to 90 percent of domestic violence cases.
Kuhner said Circles hotline regularly logs over 400 calls per month from victims or family members of victims of domestic abuse in Washington County. She said domestic violence is responsible for a little over half of the homicides in the state over the past few years.
Carlos V. Quezada, 35, pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Chittenden County criminal court in Burlington to misdemeanor domestic assault and interference with access to emergency services. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 2½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, state police responded to a domestic incident Tuesday on Hollister Hill Road in Marshfield. Police say a woman told them she and Quezada had gotten into an argument over money Quezada was allegedly taking from the womans bank account.
The woman told police Quezada agreed to pay her back, but only if he were allowed inside her apartment to get his things. Once inside, police say Quezada pushed the woman up against a door and hit her with a closed fist in the ribs, lower back and hip. The woman told police her 11-year-old son attempted to stop Quezada by hitting and kicking him, which threw Quezada off balance and stopped the attack.
The woman told police Quezada then went to a window, grabbed his backpack, which had the womans cellphone inside, and dove head first out the window.
The woman told police she went after Quezada to get her phone back so she could call the police, but Quezada kept grabbing her left arm and bending two of her fingers back as far as he could. Police say the woman eventually got the phone and called 911.
Police say the woman had muddy marks on her left arm and a small red mark on the right side of her back.
When police spoke with Quezada, he acknowledged there was an argument between him and the woman but he claimed it never turned physical and he never put his hands on the woman. He was released on conditions Wednesday.
Quezada has previous convictions of driving under the influence in 2007 and 2004.
Also on Tuesday, Earle S. Rogers Sr., 55, pleaded not guilty in Caledonia County criminal court in St. Johnsbury to one count of felony aggravated domestic assault. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to the state police affidavit, state police responded to a reported domestic incident shortly after midnight Tuesday on Route 232 in Marshfield. Police say a woman arrived at Rogers home to collect some of her things. The woman told police Rogers became angry because she was taking too long. The woman told police Rogers then came at her and grabbed her by the face.
The woman told police Rogers hands then slid down her face and rested on her throat. Rogers then proceeded to choke the woman for around 10 seconds, according to the affidavit. The woman told police she could still breathe during the incident, but her breathing was labored and she said the pain was an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest amount of pain.
The woman told police Rogers could hear what the choking was doing to her voice and shoved her to the ground.
Police say the woman had red marks on the right side of her face and had some vertical scratches running along the right side of her neck, which police say appeared to be from a fingernail.
Rogers was ordered held without bail at Northeast Regional Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury as he was already on probation for convictions of felony unlawful trespass and petit larceny from December 2012.
Rogers also has previous convictions of driving under the influence in 2010, felony cocaine possession in 1991 and possession of a regulated drug in 1978.
Last Thursday, William D. Ranew, 31, pleaded not guilty in Washington County criminal court in Barre to misdemeanor domestic assault. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
According to the state police affidavit, police responded to a report of a family fight on Creamery Street in Marshfield last Wednesday. State police spoke to the woman identified as the victim, who told them Ranew had been drinking and that he had gotten into an argument with her. The woman told police she then went upstairs to her bedroom and Ranew followed her.
Police said the woman told them Ranew threw her onto the bed and grabbed her by the throat. She said Ranew had her by the throat for three or four seconds until her 7-year-old walked into the room. Ranew then went downstairs, she told police, and at one point pushed the woman against the cabinets in the kitchen. The woman then ran to the neighbors home for safety, according to the affidavit.
Ranew was released on conditions.

News in brief
Forage exchange to help farmers hit by flood
ITHACA, NY — A new online forage exchange created by Cornell Cooperative Extension is now available to ensure that flooded New York farms will not run out of feed for their livestock.
Hurricane Irene devastated many New York farms, damaged others and left still other farms relatively untouched. Many flood damaged farms are in desperate need of feed and forage. The Forage Exchange provides an online venue for farmers who have available feed and forage to post that information, and for farmers in need to locate feed and forage. All transactions (including making arrangements for transportation) will take place between the farmers themselves.
The Forage Exchange can be found at ccetest-lamp.cit.cornell.edu/forage/. Additional resources for farms damaged by the flooding are available at www.cce.cornell.edu. Cooperative Extension educators and Farm Bureau staff across the state will be available to assist farmers in using the exchange. In Sullivan County, visit www.sullivancce.org/or call 845/292-6180.
Recommendations made for TAG
NARROWSBURG, NY — At a special meeting of the Project Review Committee of the Upper Delaware Council on September 13, seven Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) awards were determined to be recommended to the full council at its meeting on October 6.
The awards are to the Town of Deerpark, to update and codify town zoning ordinance, $4,500; to Sullivan County, to develop a website for hiking trails, $2,100; to the Town of Lumberland, to produce a Lumberland Cemeteries brochure, $1,200; to Pike County, to launch a public education campaign related to natural gas exploration in Pike County, $1,000; to the Town of Highland, to develop an early warning system and enhanced communications system for use during emergencies, $1,500; to the Town of Highland, to review and update the town zoning ordinance, $1,400; and to Shohola Township, to expand the township website, add an emergency management component and develop a website informational brochure, $2,700. An application had been brought in for the Town of Tusten on September 8, for its zoning rewrite, but was not considered, as it came in past the deadline of September 2.
A total of $16,700 was budgeted, leaving a balance of $2,300. It has not yet been decided what to do with that balance.
NYC files for hydroelectric licenses
NEW YORK CITY — The City of New York, acting through the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), filed draft applications with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relating to its West of Hudson Hydroelectric Project on September 20. A draft license application was filed with respect to the city's proposed Cannonsville Hydroelectric Development, and draft applications for exemption from licensing were filed with respect to the proposed Neversink Hydroelectric Development and Pepacton Hydroelectric Development.
FERC awarded a preliminary permit to the city, giving it three years to complete the necessary studies to file for a license application, on March 20, 2009.

Road rage
ELDRED, NY — J.P. Gunther of Yulan has been charged with four counts of reckless endangerment and several misdemeanors in relation to a road rage incident that occurred at about 7 p.m. on Saturday.
Gunther is accused of pointing a .22-caliber rifle at a Jeep containing a family (a husband, wife and two infants) and firing a round at it.
According to accounts the victims gave the authorities, the woman was driving the vehicle on Eldred Yulan Road, and having just gotten her learner's permit, was driving cautiously. Gunther, in a Chevrolet truck, tailgated the Jeep, passed it on a double-lined section of the road, and pulled into his driveway. By the time the couple drove by, he had hold of a rifle, which he pointed at them, and they heard a shot.
Gunther was arrested after a brief investigation. Deputies confiscated two 12-gauge shotguns, a Ruger .22-caliber rifle and a shell casing. He was arraigned in Town of Highland Court and sent to the Sullivan County Jail.

Hi there, Sorry in advance for the length of this!
I have a new baby girl who was born 10/12. I have oversupply/fast letdown. I had both with my son when he was a baby too. He was in the NICU for 3 weeks because of 'complications' from being born at 35 weeks (my daughter was born at 39 weeks). I was pumping for him every 3 hours from the time he was born and he never had to have any supplements once he was able to start on breastmilk. I would normally pump a total of 6-12 ounces per pumping session. Once he came home he dealt fine with my fast letdown, I only nursed on one side for every feeding, but I know now he had a lot of the 'symptoms' that go along with oversupply, I had no idea at the time that it could cause the extra weight gain, wanting to eat so often, and some other things he dealt with. But he never had any major issues with my milk.
So fast forward to now...after my milk came in I could tell I was having oversupply and fast letdown again. She did okay keeping up with my milk coming down, would gulp/gag/sometimes choke, bloated belly, gassy, burped a lot, runny and frequent movements, great weight gain... At the time I still thought this was normal since it was all things we saw with our son. I always had to/have to wear breastpads with both kids because I always leak at least a little milk throughout the day (mainly at let down on the side she isn't nursing on but at other times too because of my breast getting too full)
A few days after she turned a month old I changed her diaper and saw blood in it - and not a little, enough had come out it had soaked into the diaper like urine does! Called the doctor right away. He assumed a milk protein intolerance but had never seen so much blood come out of a baby dealing with that so he sent her to the hospital to get some other tests done to be sure it wasn't something more serious. As he was pushing on her belly it just rolled out of her bum, she passed some gas and some more squirted out. All her tests came back as totally normal, thankfully.
While there I was talking to a lactation consultant who was setting me up with a pump (I had to pump and dump for 3 days to get most of the milk protein out of me and we had to supplement her with EleCare hypoallergenic formula). We got to talking about my supply and I told her how I knew I had oversupply and fast letdown, explain how I had it with my son too. She told me that she bet our daughter didn't have a milk protein intolerance but that it was due to my oversupply. After we came home I started to do research on what oversupply can do and I totally agreed with her and found out that it totally fit our son to a T too! Her suggestion was to do the no dairy/soy/red meat/nuts thing but then to slowly add it back in and see if she had any issues, she bet she wouldn't. So pumping seemed to get my supply a little under control so she could handle things better, the bleeding stopped, many of the oversupply symptoms went away too! I started to do a 4 hour block feeding with her. Still leaked some, not as much as before. And she actually did comfort nursing - something she never did. Her normal nursing sessions were 6-10 minutes long. After she came home from the hospital and I started to nurse again her normal nursing sessions were anywhere from 12 minutes to 30 minutes depending on how tired she was and the time of day it was.
Thanksgiving and the day after her feedings were all messed up - she didn't nurse as often and I started to feel fuller again. But had noticed before Thanksgiving that my supply seemed to be going up again for some reason. Last Sunday she started to bleed yet again! I just could not get my supply to regulate at all. Got a little of the EleCare formula in her Wednesday to try to get the bleeding to stop, but I started to nurse her again Wednesday evening since she hadn't eaten much at all that day. Thursday no bleeding, Friday it started up again! Wasn't as much as when we first took her to the doctor, and wasn't with every movement (she has at least a little poo in her diaper at almost every diaper change and her movements had increased a lot those days), but there was definitely blood coming out again.
So with the doctors permission (I had told him I believed it wasn't due to being intolerant of milk protein but due to my oversupply which he thought at first I was crazy until I explained about the extra lactose she was probably getting from too much fore milk) we tried a free sample of formula we have here Good State Gentle Plus. She did nurse first thing yesterday morning (at 4am which is when she had another bloody diaper) and after she sucked a bit and I let down I pulled her off and let the milk spray and run into a cup - in 1-2 minutes I had around an ounce of milk that sprayed/ran out (I didn't have to squeeze my breast at all) and it was all very watery looking milk. She drank the formula all day yesterday and the bleeding slowed way down and by last evening when there even was any in the diaper it was just one or two little spots! So that showed us (and her doctor who is a friend from church I think is semi-convinced too) that it more than likely isn't a milk protein intolerance but was my milk! And thankfully she is actually drinking this formula with no problems (she hated the EleCare and refused to drink it and did everything she could to not swallow any) and has been her happy content self, and actually has seemed even happier since starting on the formula. Going to keep her on formula today to be sure the bleeding is all cleared up then tomorrow alternate a bottle of pumped milk with a bottle of formula and see if she starts to bleed again or not. Right now I am pumping every 3-4 hours for only 10 minutes and get a total of 6-10 ounces every pumping session.
So now finally to my question
What can I do to help my oversupply so it doesn't keep causing her to bleed when it increases slightly????
As of right now I was planning on continuing to nurse on demand and do a 5 hour block feeding to be certain she gets at least 2 nursing per side. I have the Medela pump part that allows you to use it as a manual pump and figured if I needed to I would use that to express a little milk so I would be comfortable and on the side she would start to nurse on before she would nurse in hopes of her not getting too much fore milk and have the bleeding starting up again. I was also planning on slowly reintroducing the foods they said I should not eat since to me it seems like this isn't a protein intolerance.
I nursed my son until he was 13 months old and had planned on doing the same with our daughter until this bleeding from my milk came into play. I just don't know what to do - do I try to nurse her and hope that my supply stays under control so she doesn't start bleeding again or do I just wean her and keep her on this formula which she is tolerating fine and like I said above she actually seems a lot happier so far while drinking the formula. She has had no issues at all drinking the formula, her poos are looking like normal poos now (they aren't watery/liquidy/explosive/explosive sounding like they had been on my milk. I am just so torn as to what to do. I hate how my milk is causing her to bleed like this - no baby should have that much blood coming out of their bum! I just don't know what to try to keep my supply under control. I never pump and never express any milk unless I am very uncomfortable and need a little relief.
I would love to hear what you all can tell me about what I could do for my oversupply and what your all's thoughts are as to what I should do - keep nursing and try to 'tame the girls' or just switch her to formula since she is tolerating it so much better than she did my milk and since it isn't making her bleed at all like my milk has been. It is just so very frustrating and heartbreaking knowing that MY MILK is causing my baby girl to bleed like she has been! I never in my wildest dreams would have thought breastmilk could cause a baby to bleed from their bum and it shouldn't do that! I know it isn't technically causing her pain as she was never unhappy - she was always content and happy (except when she was on the EleCare formula) - but still I worry that the bleeding could have some long term effect on her or cause other inside problems because of 'whatever' in there being irritated so much and causing the bleeding. And seeing how well she is doing on the formula and that she is happy and content on it and that it has caused the bleeding to go away...makes me feel even worse because I know its my milk causing this to happen - too much fore milk, too much lactose, to acidy I'm assuming because she always gets a red bum when she poos (while drinking my breastmilk), like the poo is very acidy...
Sorry again for how long this is. I hope it all makes sense. Please let me know if you have any questions for me or need any other information on anything I have been dealing with here.
Thanks in advance for your help/responses!
