NEW YORK STATE — In Sullivan County, 2012 started out with six newly elected legislators out of a total of nine. The newcomers came in looking to make changes, and one of the first shake-ups was they wanted to put the tourism contract out to bid, after the contract had been awarded to the Sullivan County Visitors Association (SCVA) every year for a decade.
Some of the 300 members of SCVA raised howls of protest, and SCVA was awarded the contract for 2012, but they would have to compete for the bid for the next year. SCVA competed against a new organization called Sullivan County Tourism and Promotion, but ultimately a majority of the legislature voted for SCVA to retain the contract.
Another big development was that the legislature voted to override the Albany-imposed 2% property tax increase. With the county facing a deficit that ranged into the millions and with costs, such as Medicaid, healthcare and pensions continuing an upward spiral, lawmakers saw no alternative but to move toward a double-digit tax increase--an outcome they avoided by a hair (see article at left).
In response to continuing spending increases dictated by Albany, several lawmakers, with Cindy Gieger leading the way, held a campaign to educate the public about "unfunded mandates."
Also in 2012, the deal to try to lure a big box store to the former Apollo Plaza site fell through. Executives at a company called Chancellor Livingston had pleaded with the new lawmakers to move forward with the project. However once they finally voted to do so, Chancellor Livingston backed out of the deal, reportedly because a suitable retail tenant could not be found to inhabit the new mall once it was built.
Lawmakers then changed course and struck a deal with developer Butch Resnick, who planned to install a grocery store in part of the existing mall.
As in the previous four years, gas drilling was a major story in 2012, with numerous towns in the state adopting zoning regulations that effectively ban gas drilling and other forms of "high-impact industrial activities," and other towns adopting resolutions that invite drilling.
In Sullivan County, those who banned drilling were the towns of Tusten, Lumberland, Bethel and Highland. Those who invited it were Delaware and Fremont.
The question of whether the drilling bans are legal is still working its way through the courts.
2012 was the year of the compressor station in two towns outside of Sullivan County. In the Town of Minisink in Orange County, the Millennium Pipeline Company started construction on a compressor station against the wishes of 200 families in the town, and also against the votes of two of the five members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Critics say the pipeline is dangerous because a section of the line, known as the Neversink Segment, is 24 inches wide while the remainder of the line is 30 inches. Also, they say another location, known as the Wagoner Alternative, would have much less impact on the environment and residences. Residents have taken the matter to federal court.
About 65 miles north of that location, the pipeline runs across Hungry Hill Road in the Town of Hancock in Delaware County. Residents there have begun to organize against the project, and most recently some residents objected to the fact that the Delaware County Industrial Development Agency is considering granting tax breaks to Millennium for the compressor station.
Supporters say the station will insure that the Village of Hancock has a reliable supply of cheap gas, which will help attract new business.
Opponents say compressor stations pose a health hazard to residents who live nearby, and that Millennium is a wealthy company that does not need a tax break, and might not choose another location even if the tax breaks were denied.
Another project that rankled some members of the community and brought them to the streets was the proposed replacement of the Pond Eddy Bridge. Traffic officials in Pennsylvania and New York as well as federal officials wanted to replace the historic 1904 span, which serves 12 full-time families in a community on the Pennsylvania side of the bridge, with a $12 million bridge with a modern design.
The protest movement grew to the point where officials in Albany and Washington were weighing in, and forward momentum was halted as the administration of Governor Andrew Cuomo reconsidered the matter. Local officials in Pennsylvania want the project to go forward.
In the Town of Bethel in 2012, a legal battle over the Toronto Reservoir that had raged for years was finally settled. In March, backhoes took down a rock wall that had been created by developer Steve Dubrovsky and blocked the road to a public access on the reservoir.
Dubrovsky claimed the public did not have the right to cross The Chapin Estate development to get to the access, but Alliance Energy, the company that owned the reservoir, and a federal judge said they did. The judge granted Alliance "a non-exclusive perpetual easement and right of way" to allow the public to get to the reservoir.
Among climate and weather-related stories, Hurricane Sandy was the most unforgettable, plunging many residents and businesses in the area into darkness for five days or more. It caused such severe damage that the people in New York City and New Jersey are still recovering. Because there was so much debris in New York Harbor, boats that transport gasoline were grounded for a time, and gas stations ran dry. It caused a gas panic that reached up into Sullivan County, where county manager David Fanslau briefly banned the filling of tanks larger than five gallons because profiteers were filling huge tanks with gas for resale in the city.

text: When i first tried pumping my lo was about month old. I could get about 2 oz per pumping session. But then we got thrush. I quite pumping because we ended up getting 6 or 7 times. Now she's 8 months old and we're starting a sippy cup. I would rather give her bm over homo milk. I've tried pumping a few times and i've been lucky if i i can get .5 and oz. It's probably closer to .25 really. I tend to pump right after she's ate so that i have a really good let down. They don't feel empty but it's relatively hard to tell. Is it just a matter of needing to increase my supply?? Or is it possible that i just can't pump??

A 30-year-old man was critically injured Tuesday after a skydiving accident on Oahu's North Shore.
Witnesses say the man may have been unconscious during the entire skydive. An employee at Skydive Hawaii says the man was doing a low-altitude jump in the morning from about 5,000 feet above Dillingham Airfield.
The man may have hit his head on someone or something when jumping from the plane.
An automated safety device sensed the fall and triggered his parachute to open.
"We believe he may have lost consciousness because of head trauma," said T.K. Hinshaw from Skydive Hawaii. "That can happen by striking another skydiver in freefall, which is what happened in the past."
The man landed in a newly-plowed field about 300 yards from the runway. Witnesses say he landed on his legs on the soft dirt. The man is a student at Skydive Hawaii and he was attempting his 23rd jump to get a license.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.

Also having a weight gain issue. DS has only gained 1lb 5oz since his 2mo checkup. Currently 11lbs 5oz from 10lbs. Ped isn't TOO concerned right now (DS has had cold and currently has mild ear infection), but says we'll give it another 2 months and see what happens.
I haven't noticed any problems with our feedings until recently. Originally, DS would only nurse 1 side with feeling satisfied...feeding every 3-4hrs.
I don't know if it's a combination of stress/lack of sleep or what being the cause...but I do *feel* I could have a supply issue. The past week DS doesn't seem satisifed after feedings (offer both sides) nor pumping output "normal" (yes, I know pumping isn't a good way to detect an issue but I used to get 4oz or so from one breast in the morn--now barely 2oz)
I've recently upped my water intake and will try oatmeal for breakfast. I visited the health food store and the clerk said this herbal pill had been a big seller (combo of fenugreek and other herbs...can't think of the name, though); many women returning for a second bottle saying how great it worked.
Anways, any tips would be WONDERFUL!

5 delicious back-to-school homemade snacks
These nutritious after-school snacks are easy to make
So, it's back to school time again, is it? Once more unto the breach, dear friends.
Once again, clothes must be bought, school supplies organized, permission slips filled out and, in the case of parents of younger kids, day cares must be checked to make sure they're not secretly run by cults.
And on top of all that, we have to feed these youngsters! Yep, that's right. Failure to feed your children can result in low grades, lack of energy and a persistent whining sound coming from them.
As tempting as it might be to just buy Snack Packs by the case and augment them with granola bars, Fruit Roll-Ups and any other brightly packaged convenience food, why not take a bold step and actually look at some nutritious, healthy after-school snacks you can make at home?
Heck, you might even get the kids involved in one of the five following recipes ...
Fruit S'Mores
This is an easy one that even the youngest kid will want to get in on making.
See full recipe
The great part is that it's insanely versatile. As long as you have graham crackers and some sort of spread, the fruit combinations are limitless.
Let the kids be part of the process from start to finish! Have them help select fruits, even dried or frozen ones although fresh is best, and play around with different spreads. While they can be pricey, almond, cashew or soy butters can help steer around peanut allergy issues.
These are great make-ahead snacks for lunch boxes, too. Stick to dried fruit for those, though, since the juice in fresh fruit can turn the graham crackers soggy.
Fruit s'mores are great, but sometimes your kids are in the mood for something a bit more nutty ...
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars
This one is a total classic. The bars combine everything that's best about after-school snacks: They taste good, they're fairly healthy, the kids can help make them and they keep a long time.
See full recipe
Here again, the ingredients are ripe for modification. This is a great time to teach your kids about contrasting flavors, if they've got any culinary interest at all.
Throw some super-tart dried cranberries in instead of the raisins. Use chopped toasted pecans or almonds instead of the sunflower seeds. Dip the entire bar in chocolate ... no, wait. Forget that last one.
The point is that this is another great snack. Just ignore that pot of melted chocolate over there. Put it right out of your mind ... at least until our next back-to-school snack ...
Chocolate Spiders
You didn't forget about the chocolate, did you?
See full recipe
Admit it. Since the last page, you've been sitting there with a glazed expression just dreaming about watching the bubbles slowly form on the top of that liquid goodness, dipping random items into it and eating them until you slip into a diabetic fugue.
Your kids think about that, too. Make these with them and you can both satisfy your chocolate jones without breaking your waistlines.
The crunchy texture of the noodles and the saltiness of the peanuts can make these truly addictive, but make these a reward for getting homework done or household chores finished and you'll find smooth sailing.
And, yes, you can reward yourself, too. Being the boss is hard work!
Next up, we dish out a little peace, love and yumminess ...
Serious Hippie Food
OK, so they're actually called Almond Butter-Wheat Germ Sticks, but get halfway through making these with your kids and you'll start hearing "Incense and Peppermints" and wanting to really look at your hands, man.
See full recipe
Unlike most snacks that are this darned healthy, though, these actually taste good. Your kids will never suspect that they're getting one of the healthiest sources of fiber around combined with healthy fats that will keep their coats shiny and their eyes bright.
What, your kids don't have coats? Don't they get cold at the bus stop? What kind of a parent are you, anyway?
Hopefully, you're the kind who would make our next and final after-school treat ...
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Sure, you can toddle on down to the megamart and buy a box of ice cream sandwiches anytime.
See full recipe
You can even, for a few extra coins, buy cookie sandwiches. But take one rainy weekend afternoon and make a few dozen of these puppies and your place in the pantheon of Really Cool Parents will be guaranteed, at least until you have to ground one of the rugrats for stealing your car or some similar mayhem.
And look at the cookie recipe. This just might be the healthiest danged chocolate chip cookie you've ever made. The best part is that the kids won't mind that part of the equation at all.
Now the snacks are covered! All you have left to do is ... well, everything else. Good luck.

Cloud Expo® Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!
Enterprises are eager to implement virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to address BYOD, disaster recovery, mobility, security, EOL for Windows XP and more. But the high cost and complexity of building their own on-premises solution have been huge barriers to VDI adoption.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, VMware Sr. Director Danny Allan (the former CTO of Desktone till its recent acquisition by VMware) will discuss how enterprises are using cloud-hosted desktops and apps to quickly get all the promised benefits of VDI, without VDI's upfront investment and ongoing infrastructure requirements. Businesses routinely reduce VDI costs by 30%-40%, while eliminating vendor lock-in and delivering much better user experience over on-site VDI.

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resource...

State Rep. Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, issued the following news release:
SPRINGFIELD – While the Illinois House of Representatives took the week off in remembrance of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, State Rep. Barbara Wheeler (R-Crystal Lake) stayed busy introducing two new pieces of legislation aimed at protecting businesses and taxpayers.
The first, House Bill 151,1 takes aim at Illinois board and commission salaries by capping them at $20,000 and removing health benefits should they meet less than 100 times a year.
"The number one goal of this bill is to end the political cronyism involved in these commission appointments," said Wheeler. "Historically, the governor has appointed the politically connected who were drawn to the large salary and health benefits. This is not the appropriate motivation for people serving on these commissions."
Wheeler notes that many of these commissions serve vital functions to our state, such as the Workers' Compensation Review Board and the Advisory Council on Youth HIV/AIDS Prevention. She is seeking to attract members who are motivated to do the work of the people. Wheeler also believes this salary cap could save taxpayers millions of dollars a year.
"We have nearly 340 boards and commissions in Illinois, a vast amount that meet less than 100 a year that pay full salary and health benefits," said Wheeler. "We need to be looking for every single way we can cut back. This bill could potentially save the taxpayers millions while attracting the type of person who wishes to work hard for the betterment of the people of Illinois."
The second, House Bill 1510 would help struggling small businesses by removing a cap to their net loss carryover deduction thereby easing their tax burden. Small businesses in Illinois are once again allowed to carry over their losses from year to year to be used in calculating their state taxes; however, that number is currently capped. This legislation would remove that cap.
Wheeler is the newly elected State Representative of the 64th Legislative District comprised of portions of McHenry and Lake Counties, including municipalities such as Crystal Lake, McHenry, Spring Grove, Fox Lake, Antioch, and Lake Villa.

You took the words out of my mouth. It sounds like a very good first album, but a first album nonetheless. Pellek has a really unique voice, it's a pop voice but it works well in metal. Now if he could just get a little more control and if the rest of the band just gets a little more creative they'll be masterful.

Local compositionApril 10,2013
Jim Lowes article (Times Argus, April 4) about Counterpoints new series of concerts nicely conveyed the excitement that comes with the performance of music by the excellent composers who live and compose in Vermont communities. Counterpoint and its director, Nathaniel Lew, are to be commended on the ambitious program.
At one point in the article, it was speculated that this might have been the first such choral concert of Vermont composers ever to have been given in this state.
It was not.
Twenty years ago, the Randolph-based choral group Sounding Joy! presented a program entirely by composers living not only just in Vermont, but just in the Randolph area. Works presented were by Gwyneth Walker, Kathy Wonson Eddy, Eric Nielsen and Justin Morgan. The audience was enthralled. (In addition to the work of those four certifiably local composers, it must be admitted, there was also a mini-performance of the National Emblem March by the noted band composer E.E. Bagley, who lived briefly in Randolph and may have composed this great march while he was here. The Sounding Joy! performance of this work was rendered exclusively on kazoos.)

IF he signed for less than 4 mil per year I would live with it. Anything more is plain stupid. Might as well sign Ridour or Livingston.
Still feel like Monta Ellis makes the most sense, but 11 mil contract is a killer.
This is all why I think Morrow could be the best option.

We've started the season really well with strong consistent top-10 finishes, as the races tick away we need to turn those top-10s into top-five finishes and wins.

What do you think about Texas Motor Speedway?
"I feel really good about Texas Motor Speedway. That's a place where we can go out and have a shot to win. Texas Motor Speedway is very fast, but I like the grip levels there. You feel pretty good at that track unless your car is handling bad. A bad car there can make for a long day.

You won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway last November. Talk about your success there.
"We just had a good handling race car, and we were able to get the track position and take control of the race. Our car was really good on the long run, so if we could hold off the cars behind us for eight or 10 laps, we knew we were going to be good because the car was so strong as the run went on. Hopefully we can do that again this race. Texas (Motor Speedway) has been a great race track for us in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, so I'm hoping we can continue on that success this race."

When I was young I was a very picky eater. I am sure that my parents agonized over my lack of nutrients and enjoyment of food as I pushed my food around my plate. As you get older your palate changes and you can learn to love food and be excited by the possibilities of sharing a great meal. As a teen I collected recipes and dreamed of the day when I would have dinner parties and friends sharing animated conversation, laughter and outstanding food at my table. Let's just say my first dinner party was not a great success with canned potatoes and carrots being in the picture somewhere. That was many years ago and I have come far beyond Burnt Toast and canned ingredients. I am a locavore who chooses the freshest ingredients possible whether they be from our farmers markets or local producers here in British Columbia. Of course living in Canada it is very difficult to follow this idealogy through the winter months, but we do our best to seek out what we have available throughout the year. Join me on my journey as I explore new taste sensations as well as tried and true recipes from generations past and go beyond burnt toast on these pages here at More Than Burnt Toast.
A few years ago I attended a cooking school on a small island in the Agean Sea off the coast of Greece. This was a life-changing vacation that altered my perception of food and how it should be enjoyed on a daily basis. Travel helps us to better understand and appreciate other people and their cultures. Nothing is more intimate, or more effective at breaking down cultural barriers, than cooking and sharing meals together. When you have 10 like-minded people from all parts of the world breaking bread at the same table magic happens.
In the classic movie Zorbas the Greek the main character sums it up the best, "On the coast I felt for the first time what a pleasant thing it could be to have a meal. We started eating and drinking, the conversation became animated. I at last realized that eating was a spiritual function and the meat, bread, and wine were the raw materials from which the soul is made."
This is how my blog began... as a place to share my food discoveries with anyone willing to read as well as with my daughter who was headed off to university. It continues to be a gathering place for family and friends to pull up a chair at the same virtual table and share what we have. Feel free to browse through my recipes in the index or using the links on the side bar and discover some new taste sensations of your own. Enjoy my life in food.

Pinch Me, I MUST Be Dreaming!!!
Yanks Win Series In Anaheim
OMG. They did it. They actually did it. I must be dreaming. For the first time since May of 2004, my Yankees won a series in
hell on earth Anaheim. It's unvelievable. Especially since we lost the first game. Winning this series is a huge confidence booster not only for me, but for the Yankees. They play the Smelly Sox tomorrow in the Bronx, and hopefully momentum is on their side. The Yankees beat the Angels in a somewhat Drama Club fashion yesterday by the score of 3-2.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett started for the Yanks yesterday, looking to put together a string of solid starts. A.J. was beyond solid yesterday. He went 5 & 2/3 innings of 2 run ball, and struckout 11! THAT is the A.J. I've grown to know and love! His fastball was working, and that curve was working, too, putting the hitters out of whack. Nice job, A.J.! This is the PERFECT time to get hot! No one will care about those bad starts, as long as you perform in October!
Game-face A.J. When he looks cranky, you know he is on!
When I said the Yankees won in Drama Club fashion, I meant Drama Club pitching wise. The bullpen was absolutely fantastic yesterday. Marte, Albaladejo, Coke, Kennedy, and Mo combined for a scorless game of relief. Ian Kennedy made his comeback! I was glad to see him. What a story for this kid. I was glad to see him, but I wasn't sure that I wanted him to pitch right then and there. He loaded the bases, and I could barely watch. I was hoping Girardi would take him out, but he didn't. It was Ian's jam, and Ian's inning. Ian wound up getting out of the inning unscathed, which must have boosted his confidence quite a bit. Good for him.
Defensive Analysis: The defense was solid yesterday. Good pitching, good defense. They go hand-in-hand. Cano started a lovely 4-6-3 double play. The Yankees have the best infield in baseball.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankees only got 7 hits. But that translated to 3 runs. The bats were quiet through the first 3 innings, but they got on the board in the 4th. Robinson Cano, who we all know NOT to be clutch, game through. He had a 2-run single to give the Yanks a 2-0 lead. Yeah, Robbie! My man Melky contributed with an RBI hit of his own in the 4th. I just feel like saying this: Melky Cabrera is awesome! He is so clutch and always seems to come through for the Yanks this year! I LOVE YOU, LECHE!!! Thanks to Melky, the Yankees now had a 3-0 lead. They went on to win it 3-2.
Rob-bie! Rob-bie!
It was another playoff-feeling game yesterday. The kind of game that gives me agida on ever pitch. From the 6th inning on when it was 3-2, every pitch meant SO much. It was such an exciting game, even though there was not much offense. Good pitching is just as fun to watch. That brings us to our heroes for the victory: they are A.J. Burnett, for another dominating start, the Yankee bullpen, for holding the lead and letting us win, and Robbie Cano, for that clutch 2-run single. I must be dreaming. We won this series! It is amazing! Or maybe, maybe the Yankees are just good. No. YES!!! Despite that little slump, we are still the best team in baseball.
The Smelly Sox who cheat at fenway are coming to the Bronx today. Since today is an off-day, that means I won't have a game to blog about tomorrow. Hmm…I could to another cutie post, possibly. Sounds good. I don't know what it will be, but I'm going to try and do another cutie post for all you cutie-lovers out there. Tomorrow is the pep rally at my school. GO JUNIORS!!! CLASS OF 2011!!! Yeah! I have school spirit! But I have more Yankee spirit. GO YANKEES!!! BEAT THOSE SMELLY SOX TOMORROW!!! Hahaha. I love my team (♥)

I'm sooooo happy for you guys!! Must be amazingly exciting to be in the POSTSEASON!! I'm hoping that my boys will be there next year🙂
You know, as ironic as this sounds, I was DEFINITELY rooting for your boys last night :] Mostly because I despise the Angels (sorry, Angels fans) hehe. Anyway, congrats! How awesome is it that you guys won against the Angels at their stadium! xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
I think Joe had to be very pleased with the way AJ threw. AND.. then he was probably jumping for joy out of the performance he got from Ian. I'm looking forward to this weekend.
Haha hell on earth Anaheim. I went there this season to see the Yankees play on July 11th, and I gotta tell you, it's a god for saken place to have a baseball field. It's extremely hot and it's in the middle of nowhere. I've pinched myself about 5,000,000 times and it's still real. WOW!

Virginia…I can't believe that I got Coke's autograph for you before the game!! I have to figure out who else's autograph I got. I told you three names: Coke, Ramirez, Hinske, and who is the other one??? Hmmmmm. I think it's Jonathan Abaladejo. I know he was cute.
Congrats. The Tribe will be watching from the outside in. Maybe in a year or two though?
That is right, is how you finish that counts. You got to keep the momentum going. I keep waiting for my playoffs tickets to arrive. Maybe tomorrow or the weekend. I was asked to go to N.H. the first week of November for business trip but I can't anything interfere with baseball so I'll be there following week.
I can't wait for playoffs! I know I will be a nervous wreck but better us fans than the players.
Great blog!
Trust me, I was amazed too. Let's hope that if we meet the halo's kin the postseason, we can do the same. It was a good game for Burnett too. I was happy to see he's making improvement. Let's hope this amazing 2009 season transfers over the the postseason!!
Great read.

I have a few questions maybe someone has advice for me.
i know that your not suppose to here a clicking sound when they're latched on, but I do. I try to take her off , but I still hear it. I'm reluctant to take her off because when I hear the clicking noise that's when she is sucking most vigurously and I hear a lot of swallowing so I know she is getting milk.
Also I can not tell if my daugther has emptied a breast or not. They feel lighter but I don't know if they are empty. sometimes she sucks for over 20 minutes on each side and still acts like she wants more. I take her off after a half hour or so and i'll notice milk coming out so I'll feel bad like I cut her off. Some friends told me 10 min first side as long as they want on second side(if I did as long as she wants I think she would be permantly attached to me all day) Others have said 15 min on each side.
Also I have to wake her all morning to eat every three hours, but in the evening and especially between 2 and 6 am she seems to want to eat every hour.
Any sugguestions would be appreciated. I just wish I could be more secure about what I was doing with her

Will seek to develop emergency financial recovery
SPRINGFIELD - The State Board of Education today certified
Venice CUSD #3 as in financial difficulty and approved
creation of a financial oversight panel (FOP) to help
develop an emergency assistance and recovery plan for
the troubled school system.
The State Board took action in a special meeting held
by conference call. This is an important first
step in making sure Venice can manage its resources and
operate its programs in the best interests of its students
and the taxpayers, said Robert E. Schiller, State
Superintendent of Education. The FOP, the local
board and the community must work together for this to
The Venice School Board voted June 18 to ask the State
Board to create the oversight panel. The district is in
the midst of a major financial crisis, Schiller said.
The school district maintained no financial records for
FY02 and 03 and has not filed its annual financial report
with ISBE for FY02. The district could not meet its last
teacher payroll nor pay its adult education staff. In
addition it has not paid its special education co-op nor
provided special education services for students.
The district submitted a corrective action plan to the
State Board in June, but it was considered insufficient
in addressing these problems. The district submitted a
revised plan June 20, which is under review by ISBE.
Under state law, the financial panel created today is
empowered to provide oversight and approval for additional
borrowing by the district, as well as development of an
emergency recovery plan. It has the authority to approve
or disapprove spending decisions made by the local school
Under the law, the panel can recommend an Emergency Financial
Assistance grant from ISBE of $66,250 ($250 per student)
and an Emergency Financial Assistance Loan of $265,000
($1000 per student.) The loan would have to be approved
by the General Assembly and the Governor. Neither request
has yet been made.
In addition, the panel could recommend special legislation
such as creation of a School Finance Authority
or even dissolution of the district to address
the situation.
State Superintendent Robert E. Schiller has 10 days to
appoint the three-member oversight panel.
Venice becomes the fourth Illinois school district under
an FOP, joining East St. Louis, Livingston (Madison County)
and Cairo.
School districts in Round Lake and Hazel Crest are under
the oversight of School Finance Authorities, which have
broader powers than the FOP.
Attached is a copy of the resolution
approved today by the State Board.

Riverfront Crosses
CHICAGO (AP) — The attorney for an Indiana church says its free speech rights were violated when a federal judge blocked the city of Evansville from allowing 31 crosses decorated by vacation Bible school students to be erected along the city's public riverfront.
Evansville officials had approved the display requested by Westside Christian Church, but two local residents filed suit, arguing that the 6-foot-tall crosses along four blocks of city property would appear to endorse religion. Judge Sarah Evans Barker agreed and prohibited the display.
On Tuesday, the church's attorney, Bryan Beauman, urged the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn that ruling.
But Gavin Rose, an attorney for the ACLU of Indiana, said the church had no right to appeal since the ruling was against the city, and the city didn't appeal.
One of the appellate judges suggested that seemed an odd position to take for an organization that defends the First Amendment.

DALLAS — There's one "Joe the Plumber" who is already better off thanks to John McCain and Barack Obama.
Phones rang off the hook Thursday in the Amarillo office of plumber Joe Francis, whose Web site joetheplumber.com became an instant Internet curiosity the day after the final presidential debate.
Francis spent seven years in Clovis, where he moved after high school and still has family.
"Today's been better," Francis said Friday. "We're still getting calls and selling the ton out of these T-shirts. We're just going with the flow."
McCain and Obama made multiple references to Ohio resident Joe Wurzelbacher — now famously "Joe the Plumber" — while sparring over tax policies.
But the name-dropping also reached to West Texas, about 1,200 miles away from the Ohio plumber, where the 1988 Hereford High School graduate found his business suddenly in the spotlight.
Entrepreneurs hoping for a quick buck have called about buying the Web address — for as much as $800,000, according to Internet buzz. Francis doubts some callers' financial liquidity.
"We've had people call in and offer more than that, but nobody's come up saying, 'I'm going to wire you this money,'" Francis said. "I don't know if they're legit."
The majority of callers are wanting T-shirts with the company logo, which features a droopy-eyed cartoon plumber revealing the ubiquitous "plumber's crack" above his pants.
"I'm taking orders," said Ronnie Bishop, the office manager. "It's kind of wild."
While Wurzelbacher hasn't said who he'll be voting for in November, Francis said he's leaning toward McCain, but the publicity provided might move him into the "solid McCain" category.
"He's scratched my back," Francis said, "so I guess I should scratch his."
Bishop said their small plumbing outfit started getting calls during the debate. The publicity kept Bishop busy again Thursday with offers for the Web address, T-shirts and interviews with media.
But any uptick in calls to unclog drains or fix busted pipes?
"I hope it keeps us busy," Bishop said. "We're not too busy, though."
Francis worked on and off for Chris Cummins and Cummins Plumbing from 1989 to 1996, when he went to Amarillo.
"I learned a lot from his business," Francis said, "how to treat customers, which helped me build a successful business over here."
Joe the Plumber has been in business since 1998.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

First, the Coastal Bend College Foundation learned Thursday morning that the Joe Barnhart Foundation has graciously agreed to support the CBC group's plans to bring "Cinderella" to Beeville on May 4.
The children's favorite play will be presented by the Corpus Christi Ballet at the A.C. Jones High auditorium and tickets should be going on sale in the near future. Hopes are to attract as many youngsters as possible from area elementary schools, dance clubs, Boys & Girls Clubs and the South Texas Children's Home, along with parents.
This fund-raising event is one of several major promotions being organized to increase community awareness of the Coastal Bend College Foundation, which has been reorganized recently.
It is a tax-exempt, nonprofit foundation serving CBC, with members representing many of its nine counties, whose mission is to generate and distribute resources to provide opportunities for excellence in education. They also wish to recognize staff for innovative efforts and exemplary teaching, and increase the number of student support dollars for CBC students.
Look for more events upcoming with the foundation's capital campaign as the college's 50th anniversary approaches in 2015.
Also, at Thursday's noon meeting, the Bee County Habitat for Humanity board learned it is one step closer to its first home build.
The directors approved in principle the concept of acquiring property on a large block in central Beeville. The property, which is owned by several local clubs, apparently is going to be deeded to Habitat, which hopes to build from two to four homes there.
Despite several setbacks recently, the HFH board has set some achievable goals for the year, including one Brush With Kindness (house exterior paint job) this spring, one minor house repair or rehab in the fall, and to begin accepting applications for the first local home build, possibly as early as next year.
Bee County Habitat for Humanity, an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is a nonprofit Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The houses are sold to those in need at no profit.
Watch for more on Habitat's ambitious plans in the near future.

So, another annoyance with my mother...
I handled this one better but she is not hearing what I'm saying. DD woke up at 3 this morning and fussed off and on till 3:45 when i got up because she wasn't going back to sleep (she had been fussing for a minute then go back to sleep for a few and repeat). Made the mistake of telling my mom and she immediately says there is something wrong w/ DD. Umm no! She keeps wanting/thinking I need to say something to the pedi on the 29th but I don't think its an issue of concern. Yes I would like more sleep but DD is EBF w/ me and given pumped milk during the day while I'm at work. I told my mom that BM digests quicker than formula and she's a baby, she's going to wake up! I consider myself VERY lucky she typically only wakes once! How do you ladies deal with family constantly going against BF? I told my mom that I wasn't going to say anything to the pedi because its normal and she will probably do this for as long as she is BF and that it was not something i was going to give up.
Oh, I wanted to start my own purees this month and have those ready after our 6 mo. appt but again, my mom is sounding put out by me wanting to do that and she won't be feeding the food anyways! I love to cook and bake and i don't care if the food has the same ingredients as the store. It's what I want to do. Me, not her.

Sophomore Loya made the trip as a freshman bull rider last year and was seeded fifth in the region and wound up finishing 11th overall in state out of 50 young bull riders. The finals this year will be held on June 8 in Abilene, and Loya will be going into the competition as the champion bull rider of Region VIII.
There are a total of 10 regions within Texas, and Loya believes he has a good shot of becoming a state champion and wearing the biggest buckle of his early career as a bull rider.
Loya also competes in the Texas Youth Rodeo Association where he placed second last year in bull riding. He will be attending the TYRA finals later in July this summer.
"I enjoy the sport of rodeo, and I love bull riding. I hope to attend a rodeo college, and I hope to continue to participate in the sport of rodeo," he said.
Contact Brandon at 361-542-9641 if you wish to assist him as a sponsor in his quest to become the state champion bull rider.

text: I have had very low milk since my little girl was about 12 months. I am never full and have not felt a let down since 10 months or so. My little girl will suck for 5 or 10 min and only get a couple swallows. It has been this way for several months. I have been taking mother's love: more milk plus for 9 days now and it is not helping. She doesn't give up though. It seems like we have a lot of issues with nursing. I would love her to nurse during the day but she will only do it and bedtime and early morning at about 5 or 6am. I don't know what to do.

Bill would drop outdated language from Vt. laws
Toby Talbot / AP Photo A Vermont House committee took testimony Thursday on a bill that would update Vermont's sometimes centuries-old laws to remove words like "imbecile" and "idiot" and replace them with more modern and respectful language.
MONTPELIER Outdated, offensive words to describe people including lunatics and retarded that are still on the books in Vermont are being sought out so lawmakers can strike the passages from the law.
The Senate has already passed a bill calling for respectful language to be used, and a House committee reviewing it heard testimony Thursday.
There are certain words that are no longer acceptable, said Sen. Anthony Pollina, of Washington County.
In one instance, a law says a marriage could be annulled if it could be shown that one of the partners was a lunatic or was distracted at the time of the wedding.
Members of a special committee thats been studying Vermonts statutes since 2010 said they took a person-first approach to revising the language used in the laws. For example, a mentally retarded person would be referred to as a person with an intellectual disability under new language guidelines.
Several people noted that terms used to describe groups of people change in part because those groups advocate for the changes.
The language of the law should not be repulsive to the people it talks about, said committee member Laura Ziegler.
Another committee member, Ed Paquin, is a former state legislator and rescue squad member who suffered severe electric shock and spinal nerve injuries when he stumbled into a downed power line while responding to an accident in 1988. He uses a wheelchair and serves as executive director of Disability Rights Vermont.
He said he was glad to see the language in Vermonts statutes being changed but added that his concerns extend beyond whats in the law books. For instance, he strongly dislikes the phrase wheelchair-bound.
Im not bound to my wheelchair, he said. Im liberated by it as a means to get around.
Changing the words in statutes may not be as simple as it sounds, though.
For example, a wording change could have the effect of broadening the group of people who could be committed to the custody of the Department of Mental Health, said Susan Wehry, commissioner of the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living, in comments to the House Government Operations Committee on Thursday.
Lawmakers talked about continually revising the language in an effort to get it right.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
