A good decision by Chief Blair on the carding issue
By TOM GODFREY
Outgoing Chief Bill Blair dropped a bombshell last week in ordering his officers to stop carding members of the Black and visible minority communities.
The announcement sent a huge wave of relief to community members who were not expecting the news. If only the Chief would now put an end to racial profiling as well.
Agencies and community activists have been making deputations and recommendations to police and the Toronto Police Services Board for a long time to put an end to this practice that has dehumanized many of us for years.
I have talked to several front-line sergeants who claim they now rarely pull over some vehicles, or people, for street checks. The officers did not cite police policy for the lack of checks, but the abundance of paperwork involved, including the provision of a card with the officer's name.
The officers claim that their work is being examined and scrutinized by supervisors to ensure the rights of residents are followed to the letter. No one wants to be the source of a complaint being filed against them by an irate citizen over street checks.
Young Blacks are among the majority of those being flagged for roadside checks. Once carded, their personal information are input into police databases for further use and can lead to their criminalization down the road.
Statistics have shown that Blacks are among those most likely to be profiled or carded by Toronto police officers compared to other nationalities.
Groups like the Ontario Human Rights Commission, Citizens Against Police Review and the Black Action Defense Committee have been on the frontlines in the fight against racial profiling and carding against Blacks in Toronto.
Activist Kingsley Gilliam, former Mayors Barbara Hall and John Sewell just last month made deputations against racial profiling to the Board, which has been under pressure to end the practice.
Chief Blair, who will be noted for his favourite maxim "do the right thing", did the right thing this time around.
Blair's office is not saying much about his plan, except to decree that the carding practice was suspended on January 1 and the matter will be put to the Board at a meeting next month.
The fight against racial profiling and carding has been a long one with many people and community groups becoming involved. People, White or Black, know the practice is unfair and can lead to further issues down the road. All they have to do is look at some of the anti-police sentiment in the U.S.
The Chief is a bright man and can see the writing on the wall. He is also making life easier for a new Chief who will be selected later this year. This is an emotional and divisive issue the incoming chief will have to deal with sooner or later.
The new police leader will also be stepping into the contentious issue of racial profiling, which is a hot-button issue in this city and also a priority for the force and board.
Citizens must realize that we own the cops. We hire them, pay their wages and set the policies that must reflect all citizens of every colour and creed. The issue of racial profiling has to be curbed or we will remain in the same stalemate that has existed for decades, where the community is not talking to police.
Our community must feel free and not intimidated to report incidents or call-in information to police to help in solving crimes.
We applaud the Chief for ending the practice of carding; but only after racial profiling has ended then can our caring community prosper and grow.

MAHERv.HALLMARK CARDS, INC. ET AL., APPELLANTS
Appeal from judgment of Court of Common Pleas No. 7 of Philadelphia County, March T., 1965, No. 675, in case of Diane E. Maher, widow of James Maher, deceased, v. Hallmark Cards, Inc. et al.
Richard D. Harburg, with him Swartz, Campbell & Detweiler, for appellants.
Charles F. Quinn, with him Sheer & Mazzocone, for appellee.
Ervin, P. J., Wright, Watkins, Montgomery, Jacobs, Hoffman, and Spaulding, JJ. Opinion by Wright, J. Montgomery, J., dissents.
[ 207 Pa. Super. Page 474]
This is a workmen's compensation case. The employer and its insurance carrier have appealed from a judgment entered by Court of Common Pleas No. 7 of Philadelphia County following the affirmance of an award made by the compensation authorities. The factual situation is summarized in the following excerpt from the opinion of the Board:
"James Maher was employed by the defendant as a salesman, his territory for sales being North Philadelphia. On Friday, August 17, 1962, at the request of a fellow employe, James Boyd, the decedent traveled to the Charles News Agency in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, where the decedent and Boyd assisted two other salesmen in setting up a greeting card display. The installation began in the morning and continued until about 7:00 P.M. that evening. At about 7:45 P.M. the installation was completed and the decedent, with two of the other three salesmen, went to the Swan Hotel across the street where the decedent drank four to six bottles of beer while engaged in conversation with the other two salesmen about their business affairs. About midnight the decedent left the Hotel and separated from the others at the parking lot. Approximately one hour later the decedent was killed when his automobile crossed into the opposite lane of traffic and struck an oncoming tractor-trailer. The accident occurred within Downingtown; the decedent's auto was headed in the direction of Philadelphia".
The Referee made, inter alia, the following finding of fact: "5. That at the time of the accident the claimant's decedent was returning from a job performed by him for the defendant in an automobile furnished by the defendant". The Referee concluded as a matter of law "that, since claimant's decedent sustained an accident while in the course of his employment with the defendant as a result of which he died, his dependent
[ 207 Pa. Super. Page 475]
widow and two minor children are entitled to compensation". The Board similarly found that, at the time of the accident, claimant's decedent was in the course of his employment. As previously indicated, the decision of the Board was affirmed by the court below, and this appeal followed.
Appellants here advance the same two contentions which were unsuccessfully asserted before the compensation authorities and in the court below, namely: "1. Decedent was not in the course of his employment while he was simply voluntarily assisting a co-employe with the physical labor of installing a card display, outside of his own sales territory, and without any order or direction by his employer to do so. 2. Decedent was not in the course of his employment following a deviation of over six hours during which time he performed no employment activity whatsoever, either directed or ordered by his employer, and was at a place where his presence was not required by the nature of his regular employment".
In our consideration of this appeal it is important to bear in mind that decedent's employment was primarily off-premises. He was a sales representative whose office was in his home, where he had a desk, a file, and use of a typewriter. The car he operated was registered in the State of Missouri under the employer's ownership. A fellow sales representative, John McDermott, testified that he and decedent, with James Boyd and Don Barney, had an assignment in Downingtown to install a greeting card department at the Charles News Agency. This was "what we call a complete installation in that it was the old fixtures were removed from the store, remodeled completely . . . and our job was to install the new place, the new fixtures and the cards go on those fixtures". After this installation was completed, the parties adjourned to the Swan Hotel "with the idea of a few beers and some discussion
[ 207 Pa. Super. Page 476]
on the installation . . . That is not unusual for after an installation to have that type of thing for the salesmen to get together and discuss possibly better ways of getting this thing done where we can probably eliminate a heck of a lot of work involved. That is, eighty percent of the discussion was business".
Whether the decedent was in the course of his employment when fatally injured is a question of law: Rybitski v. Lebowitz, 175 Pa. Superior Ct. 265, 104 A.2d 161. The phrase "course of employment" is to receive a liberal construction, and the evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the claimant who has the Board's decision: Hesselman v. Somerset Community Hospital, 203 Pa. Superior Ct. 313, 201 A.2d 302. An employe need not necessarily be engaged in the actual performance of work at the moment of injury: Keim v. Burkholder, 182 Pa. Superior Ct. 460, 127 A.2d 752. It is enough if he is occupying himself consistently with his contract of employment in a manner reasonably incidental thereto: Combs v. Cole Bros. Circus, 165 Pa. Superior Ct. 346, 67 A.2d 791. Appellants argue that decedent's assigned territory for sales was North Philadelphia, that he was not in this territory at the time of the accident, and was not then engaged in any sales activity. However, the uncontradicted testimony established that it was a part of the duties of a sales representative to set up card displays, and that the various salesmen assisted each other in doing so. It should be noted that it took four men the better part of a day to arrange the display at the Charles News Agency. Decedent's help in assembling this display not only fostered good will, but also entitled him to similar assistance within his own sales territory.
Appellants argue that decedent was merely performing physical labor on a voluntary basis, citing Miller v. Greene County, 171 Pa. Superior Ct. 494, 90 A.2d 262.
[ 207 Pa. Super. Page 477]
That case did not involve a salesman off the premises. Furthermore, the Board denied compensation. While the case at bar shows no express order or direction by the employer for its salesmen to do the type of work performed by decedent on the day in question, there was undisputed testimony on behalf of the claimant that it was part of the decedent's duty to help the other salesmen. The very nature of their employment made it necessary for salesmen to arrange and set up card displays. In so doing, they were unquestionably furthering the employer's interests. As was the court below, we are in accord with the conclusion of the Board "that such work was a duty expected of all salesmen working for the defendant company".
Appellants' alternate argument is that decedent's duties were completed when he stopped work at the Charles News Agency, and that "the period in excess of six hours during which he served his own purposes only, and performed no duty whatsoever for his employer, certainly constitutes a significant, material and pronounced deviation". This contention runs counter to the uncontradicted testimony. The course of employment of an outside salesman is necessarily broader than that of an on the premises employe: Wolfingbarger v. Addressograph-Multigraph Corp., 188 Pa. Superior Ct. 136, 146 A.2d 309. In that case, we made the following pertinent statement: "Where an employe starts out on the business of his employer and is later fatally injured, a presumption is raised that he was engaged in the furtherance of his employer's business at the time of the accident and a slight deviation will not take the employe out of the course of his employment . . . The incident necessary to constitute a break in the course of the employment must be of a pronounced character". The line between a disqualifying deviation and one so slight as not to disqualify a claimant is a matter of judgment for the compensation
[ 207 Pa. Super. Page 478]
authorities: French v. Coff Decorators, 199 Pa. Superior Ct. 482, 185 A.2d 646. In the instant case the Board aptly stated: "We are not inclined to consider the stop at the Swan Hotel as such a deviation, nor should the unaccounted hour change this. We believe it was still the completion of the employer's tasks when Maher started home. 'The homeward trip was a necessary part of the business excursion'".
The cases relied upon by appellant*fn1 are not controlling. None of them involved salesmen. In each of them the Board found against the claimant. The continuity of employment is not broken unless the employe's activity constitutes an abandonment of his employment: Hadfield v. American Soc. of Comp., Auth. & Pub., 174 Pa. Superior Ct. 394, 101 A.2d 423. This record contains nothing, either directly or by inference, to indicate that there was any departure from, or abandonment of, decedent's course of employment. Cf. Mitchell v. Holland Furnace Co., 189 Pa. Superior Ct. 82, 149 A.2d 662; Goodman v. University Shop, 195 Pa. Superior Ct. 129, 169 A.2d 316.
Judgment affirmed.

New Jersey Superior Court, Law Division
Decided: September 27, 1961.
IRA S. JOHNSON, PLAINTIFF,v.THE UNITED STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, DEFENDANT
Francis, J.c.c. (temporarily assigned).
[69 NJSuper Page 319]
In this action, plaintiff seeks to recover hospital, nursing, medical and surgical expenses incurred by him under two policies issued by the defendant. Defendant denies liability under each policy on the grounds that the alleged expenses sued for are ineligible for payment by the express provisions of the policies, and seeks to have a declaratory judgment requiring the plaintiff to proceed to a determination in the Workmen's Compensation Division.
On or about June 10, 1958 plaintiff applied for a Hospital, Nurse, Medical and Surgical Expense Policy from The United States Life Insurance Company and subsequently defendant issued its policy No. 120315 with the effective date of June 15, 1958. That policy provided:
(herein called the Company)
HEREBY INSURES IRA S. JOHNSON (herein called the Insured) and, subject to the exceptions, limitations and provisions of this policy, promises to pay for loss resulting from injury or sickness to the extent herein provided.
This policy does not cover any loss caused by or resulting from (1) injury or sickness for which compensation is payable under any Workmen's Compensation or Occupational Disease Law; * * *."
[69 NJSuper Page 320]
On or about June 11, 1958 plaintiff applied for a Premier Hospital Expense Policy from The United States Life Insurance Company and subsequently defendant issued its policy No. 33561 with the effective date of July 1, 1958. That policy provided:
The Person named in the Schedule
(Herein called the Insured)
and promises to pay for loss covered by this policy resulting from injury or sickness, subject to the provisions, exceptions and limitations of this policy.
'Injury' wherever used in this policy means bodily injury caused by an accident occurring while this policy is in force * * * for which benefits are not payable under any Workmen's Compensation Law.
This policy does not cover any loss caused or contributed to by (1) injury or sickness for which compensation is payable under any Workmen's Compensation or Occupational Disease Act or Law; * * *."
On or about November 16, 1959 plaintiff, the insured under each policy, each of which was in effect that date, fell while he was attempting to get from a ladder to a scaffolding which he had been erecting against the outside wall of a house located at 907 Brighton Place, Ocean City, New Jersey. As a result of this fall, plaintiff allegedly sustained the injuries for which he seeks recovery in this action.
At the trial proofs disclosed that on November 16, 1959 the apartment house against which the scaffold was erected was owned by the Brighton Apartment Company, a New Jersey corporation; that the Brighton corporation was incorporated in 1936; that Ira S. Johnson was the president, Dorothy MacGauhey was vice-president, and Mrs. Johnson was secretary and treasurer; that 449 shares of stock were
[69 NJSuper Page 321]
in the name of Ira S. Johnson, 100 shares in the name of Mrs. Johnson, and 1 share in the name of Mrs. MacGauhey; that the Brighton Apartment Company at that time owned three two-family apartment houses which were leased to summer residents and two boardwalk properties, each of which had stores situated thereon which were leased to proprietors during the summer; that Ira S. Johnson had among his duties the leasing of the premises, the arranging for the maintenance and repairs to the premises, the paying of taxes, the collecting of some of the rents, the handling of complaints, and generally the handling of matters involving the outsides of the premises; and that Mrs. Johnson had among her duties the collection of some of the rents and generally the taking care of the insides of the apartment houses, including purchase and repairs to furniture, the arranging for papering, etc.
Without itemizing in detail the significant facets of the balance sheets marked in evidence, it will suffice to say that the net worth of the corporation for the period prior to and up to the accident in question disclosed an increase in the net worth of the corporation.
The proofs also disclose that during the morning of November 16, 1959 plaintiff erected a scaffolding against the wall of the apartment house at 907 Brighton Street; that this scaffolding was erected by placing approximately four 2 x 4's (hereinafter referred to as posts) vertical to the ground about three feet from the building, by nailing boards (hereinafter referred to as outlookers) previously nailed at right angles to the tops of posts to the wall of the house, and by placing boards across the outlookers to form a platform upon which to walk; that this platform atop the scaffolding extended up the wall of the house far enough so that a man could stand on it and examine an eave which extended out from the side of the building at a point between the first and second stories of the house; that at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon, as plaintiff was attempting to get from the ladder to the platform atop the
[69 NJSuper Page 322]
scaffolding one of the outlookers broke causing him to fall to the pavement inflicting the alleged injuries; that plaintiff had erected the scaffolding and had attempted to get on it for the purpose of examining the eave to determine whether it should be repaired.
Subsequent to the accident, plaintiff was taken to the Shore Memorial Hospital in Somers Point, New Jersey, by the Ocean City Rescue Squad.
The Brighton Apartment Company had procured Standard Workmen's Compensation and Employer's Liability Policy No. WC 428-50075 from the American Surety Company of New York previous to the loss, and this policy was in effect on the date of the accident. The name of insured and address as appears in the policy are the following: "BRIGHTON APARTMENT CO., INC. and/or IRA SCOTT JOHNSON 851 PLAZA PLACE, OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY." Notice was given to the American Surety Company of New York of the accident.
It is not contended by either party that this court is without jurisdiction to determine whether compensation is payable under the Workmen's Compensation Act for the purpose of determining whether medical expenses are ineligible under the exclusion clauses of the insurance policies.
Citing from defendant's brief:
"While it would appear that the Workmen's Compensation Division because of its specialized function and experience would be the most appropriate tribunal to initially determine whether compensation is payable under the act it does appear that the court may determine this question in order to decide whether the insured claims are eligible under the provisions of the medical expense policies. See Bonney et al. v. Citizen's Mut. Auto Ins. Co. , 333 Mich. 435, 53 N.W. (2 d) 321, 323 (S. Ct. of Mich. 1952)."
In the Bonney case plaintiffs, the insureds, brought an action against an insurance company under a policy to recover for medical expenses. There the policy provided:
"17. Company Not Liable This Policy does not apply:
[69 NJSuper Page 323]
(f) Under Coverage for Medical Payments, to bodily injury to or death of any person to or for whom benefits are payable under any workmen's compensation law because of such injury or death."
The defendant insurance company pleaded as its defense that plaintiffs were entitled to benefits under workmen's compensation. Plaintiff moved for a summary judgment on the grounds that the court was without jurisdiction to determine whether "benefits are payable," urging that that determination was solely for the consideration of the workmen's compensation commission. In that case the parties had stipulated that no application had ever been made or was pending for workmen's compensation and that no determination had ever been made. The court denied the motion stating (53 N.W. 2 d , at p. 324):
"4) Plaintiffs, however, fail to distinguish between a proceeding in which an employee seeks workmen's compensation from his employer and the instant case in the circuit court where the individuals are seeking to recover reimbursements for medical expenses under an insurance policy. A finding by the trial court whether plaintiffs are eligible for compensation would only be for the purpose of determining whether they are entitled to recover under the policy.
The statutory grant of exclusive jurisdiction to the workmen's compensation commission does not deprive the court of the jurisdiction to determine rights arising out of an entirely different relationship and in an entirely different type of proceeding in which the employer and employee relationship is only incidentally involved."
While it would appear that this court may determine the question as to whether compensation is payable for the purposes of this action, this determination would not be binding upon the New Jersey Workmen's Compensation Division in a proceeding subsequently commenced there. The defendant, by way of his counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment, asks the court to require the plaintiff to first proceed under the Workmen's Compensation Act. In this connection it may or should be apparent to plaintiff that if on appeal the decision of this court is reversed and the statute of limitations has run in the Workmen's Compensation Division, the plaintiff may well be without relief.
[69 NJSuper Page 324]
Having determined that this court may properly decide the liability under the policies, the question is whether compensation is payable under the New Jersey Workmen's Compensation Law being thereby excluded under defendant's policies. A resolution of this problem may be made if we in turn look to the employee status of the plaintiff under the workmen's compensation statute.
The New Jersey Workmen's Compensation Act defines the persons covered thereunder in N.J.S.A. 34:15-36:
"* * * 'employee' is synonymous with servant, and includes all natural persons, including officers of corporations who perform service for an employer for financial consideration, exclusive of casual employments, which shall be defined, if in connection with the employer's business, as employment the occasion for which arises by chance or is purely accidental * * *."
It is not denied that in seeking the intent of the Legislature in promulgating the Workmen's Compensation Act, the courts must be mindful that it is remedial social legislation and that it must be like in construction in order that its beneficent purposes may be accomplished. Engelsbretson v. American Stores , 49 N.J. Super. 19 (App. Div. 1957), affirmed 26 N.J. 106 (1958); Howard v. Harwood's Restaurant Co. , 25 N.J. 72 (1957); Gargiulo v. Gargiulo , 13 N.J. 8 (1953).
The New Jersey act is construed to bring as many cases as possible within its coverage. Hannigan v. Goldfarb , 53 N.J. Super. 190 (App. Div. 1958); Brower v. Rossmy , 63 N.J. Super. 395, 406 (App. Div. 1960).
It might be appropriate at this time to mention that prior to 1956, the year in which N.J.S.A. 34:15-36 was amended to its present form, the definition of any employee read as follows:
"* * * Employee is synonymous with servant, and includes all natural persons who perform services for an employer for financial consideration * * *."
Under the previous statute, officers of corporations could still qualify as employees. Adam Black & Sons, Inc. v. Court
[69 NJSuper Page 325]
of Common Pleas , 8 N.J. Misc. 442 (Sup. Ct. 1930); Strang v. Strang Electric Co. , 8 N.J. Misc. 873 (Sup. Ct. 1930); Hannaford v. Central R.R. Co. of N.J. , 115 N.J.L. 573, 576 (Sup. Ct. 1935), affirmed 116 N.J.L. 412 (E. & A. 1936); Goldmann v. Johanna Farms, Inc. , 26 N.J. Super. 550 (Cty. Ct. 1953); Mahoney v. Nitroform Co., Inc. , 20 N.J. 499, 504 (1956).
The plaintiff's contention is that while a corporate entity exists, he is actually an entrepreneur, the ultimate wielder of control, and as such the corporate entity should be disregarded.
The holdings in this jurisdiction have, like in all other jurisdictions, resulted in an accretion of coverage. The doctrine of right to control in this jurisdiction has been, if not discarded, reduced in importance to that of " indicia of circumstances." The control test is not always a dispositive factor in the determination of the employee-employer status. The totality of circumstances must be considered and proper balance given to the control test. Marcus v. Eastern Agricultural Ass'n, Inc. , 32 N.J. 460 (1960), 58 N.J. Super. 584 (App. Div. 1959). That case held that the test should be economical and functional, rationalizing that the services performed by the petitioner therein constituted a regular and continuing part of the cost of the production, but furnished no separate route through which his own cost of industrial accidents could be channeled.
In the matter under consideration the basis of the economical test, i.e. , the plaintiff being already dependent upon furnished coverage, and the functional test, i.e. , the business being a continuing and sufficiently controlled operation so that coverage should be a part of the business, find no analogy for counterpart in the present case. The defendant argues that after the Mahoney case, supra , was decided the statute was later amended as set forth infra. From this defendant gathered that the legislative action and chronological relationship, between the introduction of
[69 NJSuper Page 326]
the bill in the Legislature and the Mahoney decision, had as its sole purpose the elimination of the requirement that the corporation retain direct control over the officers so that he could qualify as an employee. While this may be, arguendo , the purpose of the Legislature, the right of control must be relegated to its status as an indicium.
Many of the cases, not only in New Jersey but in other jurisdictions, go off on the relative nature of work theory; and without eliciting its elements and components in detail, it is sufficient to say that the actions of the plaintiff herein could well fall into that category. However, the matter sub judice cannot be determined on that basis. Plaintiff was a majority stockholder of such degree that it is difficult to see that even his performance of menial work could be deemed important. While conceding that the anticipation of ultimate benefits from an increase in the net worth of the corporation he owned was a financial consideration, the preponderance of the ownership made him for all practical purposes the alter ego of the corporation. To adopt a realistic rather than technical attitude toward the Workmen's Compensation Act, the corporate entity should be disregarded.
Defendant cites the Goldmann case, supra , in arguing that the corporate entity cannot be disregarded and that a corporation has an entity apart from that of its officers and shareholders. The case cited in Goldmann concerns a bill in equity seeking instructions under a last will and testament. National Newark, etc., Co. v. Work , 109 N.J. Eq. 468 (Ch. 1932). Both the Marcus and Mahoney cases, supra , decided in New Jersey, evidence an increasing increment of coverage, but in neither of them was the petitioner, in substance, the owner of the respective corporate entity. No authority has been found which deals on point where substantially all of the corporation is owned by one individual. A foreign jurisdiction may be an aid. Leigh Atchison, Inc. v. Industrial Commission , 188 Wis. 218, 205 N.W. 806, 44 A.L.R. 2 d 1213 (Sup. Ct. 1925). The claimant owned
[69 NJSuper Page 327]
127 of the company's 130 shares, did all the hiring and firing, managed the business and took the profits as salary. Compensation was denied. The Atchison case, supra , might seem to favor an analogy between that of a solely owned corporation and a sole proprietor.
The defendant seeks exclusion under the policies on the ground that plaintiff elected compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act since he did not state in writing prior to the accident that the act was not intended to apply. This begs the question of whether the act was applicable in the first place, and a determination in that respect is dispositive of defendant's contention.
For the reasons set forth herein, judgment will be rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $4,259.32, with interest from February 8, 1960 and costs.
Plaintiff will submit an order for judgment in conformity with this opinion.

The chairs arrived quickly and assembly took about 25 minutes per chair. I was disappointed with the quality considering the cost was $144 each.

Fast service, good chair
By Kristin
The chairs were delivered quickly (3 days). We ordered 4 chairs and it took about an hour to put them together. Pretty solid quality for the price, we have them in our waiting room and they look great!
Guest Chairs
By Diane
It would have been helpful to know the screws were in the holes. The young man that put the chairs together thought they came without screws and I had to call the company to find out they were screwed into the holes. Just a note in the box would have been helpful.

VirtualDrive Personal
Home › System Tools › General
This program received 3 awards
Editorial review
José Fernández Senior editor
VirtualDrive Personal is a CD/DVD emulation software for Windows. With this application, you can forget about ever inserting a DVD or CD into your computer more than once. What this little program does is create an ISO image of your discs and place it on your hard-drive. Once the image is done, Virtual Drive Personal mounts it as a virtual CD or DVD drive.So you have your DVD on your computer and it works just like if you had the actual CD there. The benefits are obvious. You get an increased speed rate and access rate. The speed is way much faster than having an optical disc on the tray. Of course, it helps to have a big hard drive. A whole image of a DVD movie will take up to 5 gigabytes in size. Also, bare in mind that VirtualDrive Personal will not work with protected media. So if you are looking for a solution for that problem you might want to try something else. With the purchase of VirtualDrive Personal, you get a lifetime live update subscription, which should keep your application updated at all times.
- Works great with most discs.
- Doesn't support protected discs.

Death of 23 Year Old (Again)
Posted in the Madison Forum
1 - 20 of 31 Comments Last updated Sep 8, 2013
#1 Dec 5, 2012
What's the story? No car accident in the paper, no shootings, no stabbings-- Is this another drug overdose? Synthethics or old-fashioned cocaine or meth? How can another young person overdose and it not be reported? An apparently healthy young man dies at the hospital, and with no explanation.
#2 Dec 5, 2012
There has been a rash of suicides and drug overdose deaths recently it seems. Way more than is typically normally expected for the population base in this area. they typically increase slightly during the holiday times for whatever reason that is but there's be a dozen in the county in less than a year. Several scanner heard reports this past weekend of attempts and another listed in Mondays Mad-Courier.
What gives? I don't know.
#3 Dec 5, 2012
This is so sad. Although I respect the family's right to privacy, the community should be aware how often this is happening. I think the courier worries about how this reflects on our towns reputation but I feel like hiding the problem is worse than addressing the issue. This is happening everywhere at an alarming rate and Madison is not immune. Ignoring it will not make it go away.
#4 Dec 5, 2012
Exactly Chrissy. More bath salts STILL be sold by a business or meth or coke from a drug dealer? The community needs to know where the problem is coming from. If the victim had been caught with the drugs, the courier would have no problem putting VIDEO of the arrest on their website, long before they had their day in court.
#5 Dec 5, 2012
herion is what he overdosed on
United States
#6 Dec 5, 2012
#7 Dec 5, 2012
I guess the Madison Courier will have to buckle down, or else consistently be scooped. I know where to come for the news.
#8 Dec 6, 2012
No one has anything to say about a heroin overdose? All these tight-lips will pave the way for next kid to follow suit. Better find out who your loved ones are associating with before it happens again.
#9 Dec 6, 2012
I guess people don't realize how much crime is connected to drug. People don't want to accept that one of their loved ones could be addicted to drugs. I don't live in a bad neighborhood and I have found needles laying in the grass near my home. We are all affected by this.
#10 Dec 6, 2012
They want to play big boy games then they have to pay the big boy price. Let all the deaths be a lesson to all the other dope heads running around town. And a lesson to all the parents that sit back and allow it or know and do nothing.
#11 Dec 6, 2012
I've seen it online that he wasn't alone when he died. They need to make the network of users talk, and track down the suppliers, and charge them with manslaughter.
#12 Dec 6, 2012
I understand that death is consequence to their action and I do hope people learn from this.
My point is that I have been very ignorant to the drugs in the area, how to recognize the warning signs and even what the drugs look like. I have had to educate myself on these things so that I know what to tell my child and if she should ever try these drugs, I hope I will know enough to see it and deal with it appropriately.
When I was growing up, I saw alcohol and marajuana. I knew some kids that sniffed glue and magic markers. I heard of cocaine and heroine but never saw it. Now we have synthetic drugs, tons of accessible prescription meds and household items I never heard of people abusing. We have to educate parents on what to look for.
#13 Dec 6, 2012
Yes, Chrissy. There are several results from the Madison Courier for heroin arrests this year if you google Madison Courier +heroin (you can't search their archive directly, but google has some pages archived). It's clear some of these arrests were in the network of the victim, and if the family and friends had paid attention to the connections, they might have suspected something and had an intervention. Again, if your loved ones were in the friend network of the victim or dealers or arrestees, take a second look and see if your loved one is more than just friends with the person in the paper, and maybe using buddies, or in a dealer/buyer relationship.
#14 Dec 6, 2012
And at Ryan Moreland's funeral, didn't the funeral director state that he discovered boys in the bathroom using synthethic drugs? Will they find boys with needles in their arms this time in the bathroom? I wouldn't be surprised. Especially during such a tough time, they can't be expected to go cold turkey. They don't just wake up and get straight. People involved with such things need help and attention.
#15 Dec 13, 2012
Been a lot of suicide attempt calls on the scanner lately. Something in the water around here or is it just the season?
#16 Dec 14, 2012
Christmas bonuses coming early? Get a big wad of cash, buy a big bag of meth--and don't tell the family you got the money. Snort, smoke it, shoot it up, it's a race against time before they find out you're loaded.
#17 Feb 3, 2013
i guess this poor kids sister isnt dating a cop for it to be big news. why would a herion overdose not be on the front page? this kid was also a friend of ryan morelands, think that makes 6 of the same circle dead.
#18 Feb 3, 2013
You can look at their various facebooks, see who is friends with who. Then you can even pick some of them out of the Madison Courier through google where they got arrested for heroin. A whole string of people using and selling drugs, is one of your family members caught up with this bunch? If I can sit here and piece it all together, you can too.
Google search heroin in the Madison Courier. Everyone of the arrests for dealing can be plugged right into the facebook, and they are always friends with Ryan Moreland's connections or Shawn Melton.
#19 Feb 3, 2013
As soon as this happened, I searched through Facebook trying to find someone talking. Kids like to talk, but this time it was different. Everyone was tight-lipped, people were posting that they were in shock and grieving, friends were asking what happened, and they would get no response or explanation of the death. It was like everyone was coached to keep their damn mouths shut.
You can see how the dad got busted with 19 and 20 year olds for dealing and making meth.
#20 Aug 20, 2013
Do you guys have nothing else better to do ?
Sitting on here talking crap about someones loved ones ? nobody forced him to do what he done, & what he done didn't make him a bad person. he was my bestfriend ! & i don't like the way you are talking about him. you guys sound pathetic talking about people who have passed away , you sound like you feed off drama. & he didn't die from herion , before you run your fuckin mouth get your facts straight. & stop acting like you're better then everyone else. If your son ' bestfriend ' husband or who ever passed away would you like it if someone was making comments like this about this saying stuff about meth & how he died ? NO! you're lucky i don't know who you are ! because i would be quick too hop on here and judge your loved ones who have passed away just to show you how it feels. acturally no i wouldn't because i have more respect for that. you guys sound like a bunch of childish people. GROW UP. & if you're going to talk shit about someone say your full name & let us know who you are sense you're so bad ass to talk shit & i promise once i find out who you are you won't be talking shit anymore !

Mommy Masters welcomes guest blogger Adam Dolgin from www.fodder4fathers.com.

I LOVE this article and am so excited to share it with all of you as part of "A Dad's Perspective" series from Mommy Masters. Whether you are a mom or dad, I hope Adam's article inspires you. It's a wonderful communication tool and conversation piece for you and your husband/wife/partner to understand each other's perspective on this topic. Enjoy!

This last Sunday I decided it would be nice to give my wife a sleep in and take both kids out to breakfast. No, it's not because she has the kids all week and I thought she deserved a break, which I'm sure happens in many households around the country. In our case it was because my wife was working the day before, and even though I had the kids to myself all day, I still thought it would be nice to let her have a sleep in as I don't really consider watching my kids to be that hard of a job. We both work not one, but two jobs, and they overlap in a way that we are able to both be equally involved in the raising of our kids. It's been that way since our eldest child was 3-months-old and my wife went back to work, and you won't hear any complaints out of me about it.

I love being an involved dad. I love getting up in the mornings with my kids and getting them ready for preschool or daycare. I love feeding them breakfast and choosing their clothes and even wiping their little asses. I love coming home at the end of the day and making them dinner and giving them bathes and reading them stories. And I love that my wife and I can share in all of these "jobs" equally, and are each able to handle them separately if need be. My wife likes that I don't have to call her when she's working to ask her where things are or what needs to be done. And I like that she doesn't call every half hour to make sure they're still alive, or to make sure that the house is clean when she gets home. We share cooking and cleaning and laundry and shopping and childcare. It's as even as even can be.

But that's not to say even my wife doesn't have her reservations from time to time. When I told her I was going to let her sleep in and take our 3-year-old daughter and our 8-month-old son to breakfast by myself, she thought I was crazy. "You're going to hate it," she said. "She'll be running all over the restaurant and he'll be crying the whole time." And it's true, packing up a baby and a toddler to go to breakfast isn't the easiest thing in the world. You have to dress them both, and pack a bag with diapers and wipes and toys and snacks (in case they don't want to eat). You have to ensure that you're going at the right time so that you can ensure that you don't have to feed two kids at the same time (it's easier to go when the baby is scheduled for a bottle instead of a full meal). And you have to pack them both in to the car, and unpack them out of the car and get them in to the restaurant and settled, all by yourself.

I guess you could see it as a chore, but I like to see it as a challenge, and a fun one at that. I like spending time with my kids. I like spending time alone with my kids. I like doing things dad's way. And it was easy. The drive there was easy. Walking in to the restaurant was easy. Sitting down and ordering was easy. I fed my son his bottle in his baby bucket on the table and 5 minutes later he was asleep. I gave my daughter some toys and she sat quietly while I ordered. We colored as we waited for our food to come and except for the few times that she stood on her seat to smile at the couple in the booth behind us she was perfect. There was no crying, no running around and no "Mr. Mom" moments where I had to rush two kids to the bathroom in a mad panic as one of them had an explosion in their pants. There was none of that- just a parent sitting down to a nice quiet meal with his little ones without incident. There was no eye-rolling from other patrons wondering where "the mother was." There were no comments from elderly ladies asking "are you babysitting today?" Actually, I got no questioning looks at all. All I heard were people commenting on how well-behaved my children were and how lucky I was.

And that's the way it should be. A dad should be able to walk in to a restaurant with his kids alone and not draw any special attention. In this day and age, it should just be the norm that a man can care for his kids without a woman present. Sure, I love going to restaurants as a family, and working with my wife as a team, but it's also nice to go out and just sit and talk one-on-one with my little girl and create lasting memories for us both.

So it always amazes me when I hear certain moms say how useless their husbands are when it comes to caring for their kids, or how they do everything and their husbands do nothing. Do you think I was the only dad having breakfast alone in that restaurant with his kids on a Sunday morning? I wasn't- there were two other guys doing the same thing. We are the Modern Dad. And we can do everything our wives can do. We don't babysit out kids, we parent them. We don't follow our wives' instructions; we have our own way of doing things. We are working dads and stay-at-home dads and work-at-home dads and split-shift working dads who have all found a way to be equal caregivers to our kids. And when I hear moms complain about how useless their husbands are all I can say is I feel sorry for you, and more so I feel sorry for him for not allowing himself the opportunity to get to know his kids the way I, or so many other involved dads, do.

We're not letting society, or the media, or a sitcom define who we are. We are taking the role of dad and redefining it for a new generation, or should I say reclaiming it from a few generations that have decided to forget that up until the Industrial Revolution parents pretty much always split the job of caring for their kids (see: Little House on the Prairie). We don't care what others deem to be "macho," we know there is nothing sexier than an actively engaged father. And we don't want to be recognized for doing anything other than our biological duty to raise our offspring so that they may grow to be functioning, well-balanced adults who will in turn one day raise offspring of their own (that we can spoil with candy).

No, all of that wasn't going through my head as I drove my two small children home after successfully taking them out to breakfast without incident, but it is something to think about; a good conversation to be had on parenting forums like this one. There are lots of dads out there like me. Why aren't there more of them? Maybe we should pose that question to the moms who second guess their husbands and belittle them and berate them for not doing things their way. Maybe moms are too tied up in the competition of who is the better mom that they don't give their husbands a chance to be the best parents THEY can be, questioning how they do everything instead of accepting that dads are pretty awesome parents when given the opportunity.

So, who wants a sleep in next weekend? Maybe it's time to see just how capable YOUR husband (or boyfriend, or significant other) really is.

Adam Dolgin is the founder of Fodder 4 Fathers, "A Parenting Website for Dads." An advocate for involved dads, he is the proud papa of a daughter (3) and a son (8 months) whom he cares for equally with his lovely wife, Jessica.

"At Fodder 4 Fathers our philosophy is simple: level the playing field so moms and dads could discuss parenting as equals. Our goal: to approach parenting with a sense of self-deprecating humor, some common sense, and the ability to see the world from many different points-of-view. We believe we've lived up to these ideals, and it's what makes Fodder 4 Fathers one of the best parenting resources available on the Internet today."

It's soccer season for many of our kids and this takes a lot of family commitment. Every weekend belongs partially to soccer and for some families there are weekday practices as well. During my many hours on the field, I've been noticing and appreciating the fathers who volunteer their time and effort by coaching the kids. This takes a lot of work. I know because my husband coached last season. This year he couldn't due to a knee injury but many of the dads do this each year and often for other sports as well.

This requires dedication. They need to look up games to make the practices more engaging for the younger children. For the older kids they need to be well versed in all the rules and think of strategies based on the skills of the players. Many of these men have not played soccer themselves in many years so it takes work to coach. They sometimes need to go to training sessions as well. Not to mention that they can't miss a single game.

People always make comments about soccer moms since we are often driving our kids to all their activities but we rarely hear soccer dads mentioned. Without these dads who dedicate their time to helping our kids improve their skills, we may not have a lot of these community sports programs. We all know that the economy at this time doesn't give us the luxury of hiring extra people so we really value these volunteers. I'm glad to see that this is no longer a time of parenting from the sidelines and expecting kids to succeed solely based on people we pay like teachers and coaches. Of course we do need professionals to teach them the things we cannot but without parental engagement, their chances for success are lower. Children who have parents that take a full interest in their lives and activities are sure to be happier and more confident as well. I say 'Thank you' to all the parents who take time out to help their own kids and ours!

The singer, who is renowned for pushing the sartorial envelope, was snapped at the launch of her new fragrance Reb'L Fleur at House of Frazer on London's Oxford Street.
While we love her nude Louboutins, we're not so keen on the feathery top and baggy turquoise trousers. The hair - which looks like it would stay put in a hurricane - isn't doing it for us either.
What do you think of Rihanna's outfit? Is she a bird of paradise? Or is the pop star channelling Sulley from Monster's Inc? Leave us a comment below.
