Now try and tell me thats not a dough tray -marc
Can you tell me where you get SM seeds? Patrick
I hope to can enough to last me until next spring - for pasta and NP pizza.
I am thinking of getting one of those irrigation kits with the drip lines. Anyone ever used them?John
The blight seems to be particularly invasive in my area. Beautiful and healthy plants will just start to turn and die within a week. I will report on the effectiveness of the compost tea spray later in the season.
So I'd be very interested in hearing about the compost tea spray. Perhaps I should try in on a few select plants to get a good A/B comparison agains the untreated ones. Could you tell me your process for making and applying the treatment?---pete---
Pete - Very nice garden. What is the mulch you use? Is it just to keep moisture in? I usually do a top dressing of compost on the tomatoes around July, if I mulched would I need to move it out of the way and then recover?John
Pete - Find some organic composted or dehydrated manure at Home Depot or Lowes. In the morning fill 1/4 of a gallon can with the compost. I also give it two tablespoons of natural fish emulsion. Fill the can with water to the top and stir. Let it sit in the sun for the day. In the evening strain through a sieve into a a heavy duty spray bottle, and spray the plants lightly all over the leaves. Do not do this in the full sun as it will burn the plants. Use the leftover tea to water your peppers, eggplants and cucumbers - those plants just love this kind of treatment. You can also just water the tomatoes as well. Once every two weeks.John
I was talking with someone about spraying the "manure tea" solution on my tomato plants. They cautioned me about contaminating my tomatoes with E.coli bacteria. Remember, the recent news stories about E.coli contaminated veggies? That scared me a bit and caused me to do some research on the topic and I found an informative article at the link below. From what I read, the composted manure would be safest because the high temperatures involved would kill most of the E.coli bacteria. I don't see any guarantees that ALL the E.coli would be killed. I'm also not sure about the levels of E.Coli in dehydrated manure, because the article does not mention that. With all this in mind, I'm reluctant to use this treatment on my plants now. Preventing E. coli From Garden to PlateEspecially, read the section.. Manure Managementhttp://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/09369.html/See what you think. ---pete---

Employees are rewarded for demolishing homes and flattening tombs.
BEIJING – Governments the world over often hand out year-end bonuses to those employees who devise efficient ways to handle problems or meet goals for improving service.
In China, at the close of 2012 local governments gave employees cash awards for doing good work in demolishing family homes, flattening ancestral tombs and enforcing the nation's "one child" policy.
"Land acquisition, house demolition and relocation is China's biggest tool for wealth transfer," Shen Xiaojie, a news website editor, wrote on Sina Weibo, a hugely popular microblogging site in China akin to the banned service Twitter. "This kind of award is like bandits dividing their spoils."
Such payments reveal local priorities as officials rewarded their own for the often difficult work of implementing controversial policies, sometimes with violent methods. But the 2012 bonuses that have leaked out to the public have provoked condemnation that highlights how China's people are growing more vocal in their criticism of a government many view as deeply corrupt.
Two of the most commented upon new awards in late 2012 rewarded the demolition workers who tore down family homes on government requisitioned land in Lin County, in north China's Shanxi province, and the tomb flatteners in Zhoukou City, central Henan province, who cleared over 2 million ancestral tombs last year in a campaign to recover farmland.
On Sina Weibo, which is banned in China, many users called the $116,000 total payment to "advanced" demolition workers in Lin county a "shameful" and "ridiculous" award.
The majority of the mass protests that happen each year in China are sparked by government land grabs and forcible demolition of homes, as officials evict residents, who are often poorly compensated, to secure the land sales that form the bulk of local government income.
In the Beijing News, a tabloid in the Chinese capital, commentator Hu Yinbin noted the public's doubts about this award and blamed local governments' "confrontational work perspectives."
Officials "treat people as the opposite side, getting them down counts as their success, and for which they will be rewarded. This kind of thinking will only stimulate more hostile emotions," he wrote.
In Henan province, officials have run through widespread opposition to government demolition of ancestral tombs. The policy shatters tradition and breaks cultural taboos, but the government insists it is essential to recover badly needed farmland for crop cultivation.
As website editor Shen suggested, some Chinese suspect officials intend to sell off any recovered land to property developers.
The almost $500,000 award that Zhoukou officials received for tomb leveling in 2012 from their bosses in the provincial capital Zhengzhou angered many Chinese. On Christmas Day, even the Ministry of Agriculture's spokesman in Beijing criticized Henan's strong-arm methods, but the campaign continues.
"Nobody will love a country which digs out your ancestors' tombs," Shi Pu, a professor of government administration in Zhengzhou, warned on his microblog.
Year-end awards, including those for achieving family planning quotas, have long been part of China's governance, said Wang Yukai, a public management expert at the Chinese Academy of Governance in Beijing. Punishments also apply to officials if a significant number of residents in their area exceed the family-size limits of one child in urban areas and two in the countryside, if the first child is a girl.
"But giving awards from the public budget in sensitive issues, when the government hasn't reached agreement with the people, just worsens the situation," said Wang.
The recent public outcry hasn't halted the awards in either Shanxi or Henan, or reversed policy, but "at least it's progress that people can now stand up and express their opposition," he said.
"The people, not government employees, should decide what should be rewarded," said Zhang Chengfu, a professor of public management at People's University in Beijing. "In a democracy, the people decide and the government acts as their agent."
To reduce anger over such awards, "the only way is to increase openness and transparency, and negotiate and communicate with the common people," he said.
"Policies should not be forced on the people. There must be an institutional dialogue that permits people to participate in the decision-making process," Zhang said.
The Chinese Communist Party's new leader, Xi Jinping, who took over in November, has emphasized the need for a more open and less corrupt government. His people require plenty of convincing that change will reach down to their local, highly corrupt levels.
In Zhoukou, party member Zhang Fang lost two relatives who died under falling tombstones when Zhang, 70, leveled the family's ancestral tombs ahead of the government deadline.
"No matter what amount the government awards, the ordinary people could get little, only local officials will benefit from it," he said.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (34 votes).
In short: Really enjoyed the race, potential for pb.Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: Very well organised race.In full: Could do with a few more marshals but otherwise a very good race. I'll be back next yearDate of review: February 27, 2011
In full: Nothing special, didn't even hear the start,distinct lack of marshalls on the way round.no water at the end ! terrible, though a rather disgruntle, rude lady did shout that there was a bottle in your bag.No clock at the end either.Oh well, should have saved my £10Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: Quick well organised and great for beginnersDate of review: February 21, 2010
In full: Obvious danger of rating the race simply by reference to my own (PB) performance, but there is definitely great potential here for a fast race for everyone. I thought the course was really quite pleasant - there may be quite a lot of houses about, but also quite a green feel to it and it's mostly on footpaths (with not as many twists as some have made out). For my money I'd usually prefer that to a scenic road route with traffic...Good support from most of the marshals and a friendly atmosphere, notwithstanding lots of club runners looking for personal bests!I'm sure the first mile marker isn't in the right place (or I did the first mile in 7:30 and the second in under 6 minutes) but otherwise the organisation was fine. Although whilst the race itself is good value, £1.50 for a cup of tea at the race HQ is a bit steep?Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Good flat raceIn full: Good race for a first timer. Seemed to be mainly club runners. Rather short of water at the end. Didn't come last! Was focusing on finishing to worry too much about the housing estate architecture. Marshalls supportive.Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Great mid distance run, flat as a pancake - if you want to make the step up from 10K to half marathon then this is the run for you. Starter needed a megaphone and no cups and very little water at the end. Overall a great confidence booster.Date of review: December 7, 2005
In short: Flat, twisty and horrible sceneryIn full: A flat race, but run through a horrid housing estate with no scenery to speak of. Very little water and not too many marshalls either. Not one of the better runs around!Date of review: December 7, 2005
In short: Fairly fast flat course but several twists and turns, the thimbleful of water at halfway was very welocomeDate of review: December 6, 2005
In short: Dull but flat and fastIn full: Dull scenery: a twisting course around New Town housing estates and the view is no better on the second lap. Flat so good chance of a PB but quite twisty. Mainly tarmac paths / cycle tracks with a short stretch on a firm earth path through a wood.The website could have been more informative - I had to ask for directions to the start.Nice T-shirt as memento - more tasteful than mostDate of review: December 5, 2005

A Century of Springtime With Stravinsky
The audience reaction at the Paris 1913 premiere was ferocious. Arguments broke out, physical altercations, hooting and hollering -- Stravinsky left his seat in the audience bewildered and hurt, and retreated to the backstage wings.
The ballet's storyline was written by the composer using ancient Russian tribal imagery, including a famous scene in which a young virgin dances herself to death as a sacrifice to the gods.
Everything about this project was intended to shock and the choreography was apparently the most shocking, turning the old mannerisms of ballet on their heads in favor of a style that still looks awkwardly new today.
While the audience's reaction was certainly due to the combination of both radical music and radical dancing, it is easy to imagine a similar outburst just for the dancing alone.
Stravinsky was not looking to shock for its own sake. He was charting a new musical direction that drew heavily on folk music and deliberately primitive influences. He wanted the music to sound both organic and elegant, an authenticity that was not stuck in a museum case but instead transformed the concert hall into a scene of bloody ritual.
Stravinsky had calculated his music to push the boundary of popular taste, but not break it. He expected The Rite to succeed.
Wisely, after the first run of performances with Nijinsky's choreography, Stravinsky began offering the work to orchestras as a concert piece -- no dancing. From that point it was widely accepted as a masterpiece.
It's important for any businessman -- especially those in the arts and especially those whose business is transformative innovation -- to know his audience, an intimate instinctive knowledge that understands what customers want before they do themselves.
In addition to his unerring craftsmanship and imagination, Stravinsky had that keen business sense. Throughout his career he led the style of the day. Other composers, younger ones, perhaps exceeded his innovations, but none exceeded his influence.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (58 votes).
In short: A good club race, that makes you hurt on the hillsDate of review: February 7, 2010
In short: Hilly but great fun and well organised until the last 200mDate of review: February 7, 2010
In short: Hilly, hilly, hilly!!In full: 1st time on this race, really enjoyed it but the hills ruined my time despite lots of preparation. I did find the start very fast, and there are a lot of very good club runners, so I know I finished towards the end. Good support from all the marshalls, good organisation on the water and sponge stations and on signage. Didin't get my medal, but am hoping it will come in the post, after all that hard work. Am planning next year's race already!!Date of review: August 25, 2008
In short: A tough slog but well worth itIn full: Loved it. Not PB material with constant ups and downs but with cracking scenery and good and friendly organisation. Well worth the trip across the Solent. Just know you will suffer on the hills!Date of review: August 19, 2008
In short: Tough Hills, but managed a PB.In full: I was expecting to be challenged by the hills and wasn't disappointed, they were tough but not too long. Oraganisation was good, considering this is a pure road race. Trafic is a bit of a problem but no different to dodging vehicles when on some of my training runs. I was a bit disapointed at the end when found out there were no medals left!! but PB outweighed disappointment. Many thanks to Ryde Harriers and the friendly Marshalls.Date of review: August 19, 2008
In short: I nearly got a PB, the last mile seem to be long!In full: I ran better than last year by nearly 9 minutes as I knew the course this time and remember about the big hill at St Helens. Only down side is the traffic. Would be nice to run without competing with cars etcDate of review: August 19, 2008
In short: The four hills make it an interesting run, breaking it down into bite sized piecesDate of review: August 19, 2008
In short: Not recommended for PB Hunters.In full: Race HQ could have been signposted from the main road. A very challenging hilly course especially in the heat. Found it very lonely towards the front of the race, running on my own for the last 8 miles. A pity more runners from the mainland doesn't give it a go. Would make for a more competetive race at the front end.Date of review: August 19, 2008
In short: Great Challenge, esp with the heat!In full: Nice small field and local atmosphere made for a good run, although lonely on some of the smaller roads!, good water/sponge stations and marshalling, shame locals didn't come out to support but hey they were prob down the beach!Date of review: May 13, 2008
In short: Great challenge.In full: This race is tough. Many long hills together with a 25C made this race a good challenge. well organised. the race is a MUST if you are planning to run Comrades in South Africa. Not every race can be a PB. Accept the challenge and run this race - worth the challenge.Date of review: May 13, 2008

Beautiful Flat! Good Service! And once a week there´s a big market right in front of your house, which is very fun to brouse. You´re also living door to door with very friendly, real Istanbul citizens.
Unfortunatelly we heared gunshots not far away from the flat at one night. But i´m very shure this will not happen this often. All in all it was a wonderfull stay in a really wonderfull and save flat.
Thanks a lot
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Das Team um Ogul waren alle sehr hilfsbereit. Er ist sogar wegen uns los gegangen am ersten Tag, um für uns unser Geld ( Euro in türkisch Lira) zu gewechseln. Einfach klasse!!!!
Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gefallen: grosszügig gestaltet, gut gelegen und am Sonntag grosser Markt gleich vor der Haustür. Anil hat lange und geduldig auf uns gewartet, da nach Ankunft der Weg via Taksim-Platz wegen Blockaden und Protesten erschwert war. Kann die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen.
Voor vertrek zijn wij "omgeboekt "naar apt. Noe omdat Petra Platte niet beschikbaar was. Bleek geluk bij een ongeluk , apt. Noe is in een hele leuke buurt, alle bezienswaardigheden zijn op loopafstand ( 30 - 40 minuten ), buurt is erg gezellig, de mensen vriendelijk en het appartement nieuw en netjes.
Klein punt voor verbetering : het zou fijn zijn als er wat schoonmaakartikelen zoals doekjes, vaatdoekjes en meer handdoeken aanwezig zouden zijn.
De begeleiding van Ilker, Ali en Chris was professioneel en vriendelijk. Wij komen zeker terug
The apartment in Istanbul was great. It was in a real nice neighbourhood and very near to Taksim square. Lots of nice shops, restaurants and bars close by. The apartment itself had everything you might need for a (short) stay and was very clean and comfortable. It has a small garden were you can park you bicycle (which was very convenient for us!) or dry your washing. In summer it might even be possible to sit outside and have a bbq (which was available as well)! The host and the owner were both very helpful and communicative. When the wifi was not woring the host arranged a solution very quickly. We had a very nice stay in Istanbul and in the aparment, if friend or family will visit we will defenitly advise them to rent this apartment.
Dear sir/miss,
My friends and I stayed in the MARIE - 2Bed with terrace and view -
appartement from 19 - 22 june.
The appartement was very nice! I would recommend it to friends and family
if the following didn't happen:
Unfortunately the host (Anil) didn't respond to my textmessage (that there
was no drinkwater anymore) and also not to my phonecall on sundaymorning
about the cleaninglady who barged in at 10 o'clock, while our check-out
time was 11 o'clock. She wanted to take our towels, but one of my friends
didn't have a shower yet. So we send her away. She left angry and came back
at 11 o'clock (we ran into her when we went down the stairs).
Kind Regards,
Very nice plat, great neighbourhood with while trying this place.
We visited Istanbul for 5 days and we stayed in this wonderful located apartment in Beyoglu near Taksim Square. The location of the apartment is perfect. In a calm side street where it is not so noisy but nearby everything you want to visit. The T1 tramway stops nearby and it goes all the way to the district, where the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar is. Also nearby is the Istiklal Street. The apartment itself was very very clean, comfortable, safe and with great furniture. The bathroom and the kitchen is very clean and modern. There is also a TV but we rarely used it. The communication with Ilker and Anil was perfect. They are very friendly and responded very quickly to Emails. The check in and check out was also flawless. Overall 5 stars. Great location, great apartment, great hosts. Thank you Ilker, Anil and Ayse.
See you next time
Alper & Sarah
Sofia is a great place to stay. In the heart of the city, yet in a safe distance from all the touristic paths. In the totally clean apartment you've got everything you need from a fully equipped kitchen to a washing machine. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Thanks for everything. Best regards from Cologne!

For the men's team, the pressure was particularly on for the heavyweights as the 90kg, 100kg and +100kg divisions all needed top-five finishes to secure their slots for the Pan American Games.
"I was definitely worried," said Kirk Hoffmann (Colorado Springs, Colo. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Olympic Training Center / +100kg). "Because it's not just whether or not I have the chance to go to the Olympics, I have eight other guys back home counting on me to qualify the division."
Hoffmann drew a first round bye and then went into Golden Score (overtime) in his match with Pablo Figueroa (PUR) as each had two penalties. Hoffmann was the aggressor through GS and won by a shido (penalty) for stalling for Figueroa. In his next match, Hoffmann was down by a shido against eventual Champion Daniel Hernandes (BRA) when Hernandes threw Hoffmann for ippon (instant win).
Hoffmann then dropped down to the bronze medal match where he Carlos Zegarra (PER) by a yuko (quarter-point) score. Hoffmann not only won the bronze, but avenged his loss to Zegarra at last year's Pan Ams.
"It feels great to have won. I'm glad that I had the opportunity, but I'm also very proud of how we did as an entire team today and I think it really says a lot for USA Judo as a whole," Hoffmann said. "I think the extra help from the Spectrum Fitness and Wellness Center in Colorado Springs definitely helped get me today's result. Working with their program has given me a new way to train off the mat and hopefully that'll improve my results in the long run."
Garry St. Leger (Brooklyn, N.Y. / Starrett Judo) was in a similar position in the 90kg division. Like Hoffmann, St. Leger didn't place in the 2006 Pan Am Championships and would need a good finish in Montreal to qualify for the Pan Am Games and earn valuable points toward 2008 Olympic qualification.
St. Leger, who was injured for much of the spring season, began his day big, throwing Luken Bent (COL) with a kata guruma (fireman's carry) in the first 21 seconds of the match.
"Being injured earlier just meant I felt like I needed to change up some things and focus more on my strengths when I fight," St. Leger said.
In the next round, St. Leger lost to Jorge Benavide (CUB), first getting pinned for a yuko and then being down by another yuko scores. Although Benavide committed a penalty, he still pushed through to throw St. Leger for ippon in the fourth minute.
"I'd say that fighting the Cuban was my favorite match of the day even though I lost because now I know that he moves and I've gotten to get my hands on him so I know what I need to do to develop and get better now," St. Leger said.
In the repechage St. Leger threw Franklin Perez (DOM) with a te guruma (hand wheel throw) for ippon to advance to the bronze medal match where he threw Diego Rosatti (ARG) for ippon to win his first Senior Pan Am medal.
"It feels great right now. This is what I wanted and I know that there's more wins coming," St. Leger said. "It really gives me more confidence though and I know I can do a lot better."
Aaron Cohen (Buffalo Grove, Ill. / NYAC Cohen's Judo) won his fifth Pan Am medal in the 81kg division, taking a bronze. Cohen scored a yuko on Abderraman Brenes (PUR) in the beginning of the match before pinning the Puerto Rican.
Cohen nearly executed a score against eventual champion Oscar Cardenas (CUB) after being down by a waza-ari, but didn't complete the throw. Both athletes were given stalling penalties before Cardenas threw Cohen for ippon.
In the repechage, Cohen beat Carlos Turquin (DOM) first and then, after a 45 minute break, tossed Franklin Cisneros (ESA) for ippon in less than 10 seconds to advance to the final against Tyler Boras (CAN) who he also threw for ippon.
Two-time Pan Am Champion Ronda Rousey (Wakefield, Mass. / NYAC / USA Judo National Team FORCE) had the day's most difficult match, facing Onix Cortes (CUB), her former rival in the 63kg division. Rousey moved up to 70kg in February after winning the Vienna World Cup and Cortes, who beat Rousey in the semifinal of the 2006 Junior World Championships, soon followed suit.
Although many expected the duo to go 1-2 at the Pan Ams, the division change meant both came in unseeded and fought each other first round.
Like their last match-up in Santo Domingo, this one wasn't without controversy as a scoreboard error appeared to give Rousey the win when Cortes was given a penalty for false attack with one second left in the match. According to the scoreboard, the penalty was Cortes' third of the match, combining for a waza-ari (half-point) score for Rousey and while Rousey had committed two penalties of her own, combining for a yuko (quarter-point) score, and gotten thrown for two more yukos, the waza-ari would have outweighed all three and given her the match.
Unfortunately, the referees realized that the scoreboard listed two many penalties for Cortes and after one was removed, the Cuban won the match.
Rousey then dropped down to the repechage where she had a walkover after 2005 Champion Diana Chala (ECU) withdrew prior to her match with Cuba. In the next round, Rousey pinned Veronica Mendoza (ESA) to advance to the bronze medal match against Catherine Roberge (CAN), a four-time World Cup medalist. Roberge and Rousey each committed two penalties, but Rousey threw Roberge twice for yuko scores to win the match.
Kristen Allan (Springfield, Va. / Sport Judo / 63kg) also fought for a bronze medal, but was thrown for ippon by Isis Barreto (VEN). Earlier in the day, Allan beat Nadjeda Gena (HAI) on penalties and choked out Irene Figoli (URU) to advance to the semifinal where she was thrown for ippon by former World Champion Daniela Krukower (ARG). Allan placed fifth overall in her first Pan Am Championships.
Adler Volmar (Coral Springs, Fla. / USA Judo National Training Site at North Miami) finished fifth in the men's 100kg division. After a first-round bye, Volmar threw Teofilo Diek (DOM) for ippon in the quarter-finals. In the semifinals, though, Leonardo Liete (BRA) won the match, sending Volmar into the repechage. In the bronze medal match, Volmar seemed headed for Golden Score after a shido apiece with Keith Morgan (CAN) when Morgan threw him for ippon with seven seconds left.
Fifteen-year-old Marina Lambert (Chesapeake, Va. / Washington Judo) placed fifth in the 78kg division, but lost both of her matches in the process, getting thrown by Lorena Briceno (ARG) with a sumi gaeshi (sacrifice throw) for ippon first and then again by Marylise Levesque (CAN) in the bronze medal match.
Brittni Bradford (Live Oak, Texas / Universal Judo) went 0-1 in the +78kg division where she got pinned for ippon by Mabel Henriquez (DOM).
Competition continues tomorrow in the women's 44kg, 48kg, 52kg, 57kg and Open divisions and the men's 55kg, 60kg, 66kg and 73kg divisions.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 3, 2013) – North American Racing Academy graduate Aparna Das Battula has been selected to compete in the second running of the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars race on Sunday June 16th at the historic Chantilly racecourse in France.
The 1800 meter (1-1/8 miles) race will take place during one of the most prestigious dates on the European racing calendar, the Prix de Diane Longines (the French Oaks). This year the Future Racing Stars challenge takes on an international dimension. Fourteen young, talented apprentice jockeys from 8 countries – Australia, Great Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, South Africa and the United States will meet for the first time on the race track in front of an audience of 40,000 spectators hoping to gain victory and claim the winner's trophy.
Battula, who began her riding career in 2011, currently rides with a five pound apprentice allowance at Indiana Downs and has accumulated at career record of 23 wins; 20 seconds and 20 third place finishes from 262 mounts. Born in Khotakota, India the 25 year old Battula earned a university degree in Biotechnology before enrolling at Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) to attend the North American Racing Academy (NARA) where she learned to ride races while earning an associate's degree in Equine Science.
Said Battula: "I am thrilled to have been selected as the representative of both the U.S. and BCTC-NARA which has played such an integral part of my growth and development as a jockey.
My sincere thanks also go to the race organizers and Longines for providing me this once in a lifetime international riding opportunity."
The objective of this race is to promote future rising stars on the racecourse and their national racing schools. All participating jockeys are between 18 and 25 years of age and have won between 3 and 35 races.
Battula will have a top coach. Joining her on the trip will be non-other than Hall of Fame Jockey Chris McCarron who serves as NARA's Jockey Pathway Lead Instructor. McCarron noted: "I am ecstatic that one our graduates has been invited to compete in this event. Aparna was an excellent student while attending NARA/BCTC and has represented us in a very professional and successful manner. I'm so proud of her and I'm confident she will demonstrate the same professionalism and dedication that has brought her this far."
The day will mark the 164th running of the Prix de Diane Longines - an event where elegance, glamour and first class racing are de rigueur as will be the world's top three-year-old fillies.
Simon Baker, a Longines ambassador and actor from the series The Mentalist, will once again be present for the event and will award the prize to the most elegantly dressed Mademoiselle of the day.

Chautauqua board talks County Home, police consolidation
MAYVILLE – Another attempt to sell the Chautauqua County Home and the way forward for proposed Jamestown Police and county sheriff's department consolidation were addressed by three county legislators during the monthly Town of Chautauqua board meeting Monday.
It's likely the sale of the home will be put in front of the county legislature around Oct. 1, according to Fred Croscut (R-Sherman) who spoke during the public comment portion of the town meeting.
However, Croscut did not name a possible buyer.
"I have no idea what it is, so I can't really comment on it," Croscut said.
In an interview following the meeting Croscut, Vince Horrigan (R-Ellery) and Dave Himelein (R-Clymer) all said the next attempt to sell the home has been, according to Croscut, "talked about and discussed" by County Executive Greg Edwards.
Sale of the home requires a so-called super majority of legislators voting in favor. Last February the legislature lacked that super majority, and a sale to a private owner was not approved.
Pay and benefits received by city police, substantially more than sheriff's personnel, loom as just one of the difficult issues ahead in what has been termed the second phase of a proposed consolidation, according to the three legislators and town board member Tom Carlson during public comments.
"The stumbling block, I'm not afraid to say, will be the (Jamestown) union contracts," Croscut said.
"I don't think we (the county) can afford 20-year retirement plans anymore," Carlson said.
He added city police have a contract which ensures both substantially greater salaries and benefits than the sheriff's department offers.
Himelein said he would favor the city paying for any differentials if a consolidation happens, but after the meeting said such a plan would be "one of the options."
Croscut said the city police union has been completely mum so far about the contract differences.
Recent take over of police duties in Silver Creek did not require a settlement of contract differences, according to Horrigan.
"Basically the Silver Creek PD went away," he said, explaining that the chief retired June 1, and all but one part-time officer found other employment.

I believe that without the Dolan's getting out soon, this organization is doomed. I'm a longtime season tickholder, one that has stuck through thick and thin. But the continued acceptance of mediocre management, spending what money they do poorly, and never having any excuse but, it;'s the fans fault for not coming out and supporting our failed product just doesn't wash with us anymore.
It's either time to quit marketing the team through fireworks, dollar dogs, and bobbleheads and begin to do it the old fashioned way, by running a competant, successful organization or what few diehards they have left will be leaving them in the dust very very soon.

The UN Human Rights Council adopted the first ever UN resolution on the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons (LGBT) on June 17, 2011. This is the first UN resolution solely focused on LGBT persons. Secretary Clinton said, "This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love."
She continued, "...The United States worked with the main sponsor, South Africa, and a number of other countries from many regions of the world to help pass this resolution, including Brazil, Colombia, members of the European Union, and others. This resolution will commission the first ever UN report on the challenges that LGBT persons face around the globe and will open a broader international discussion on how to best promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons.
"All over the world, people face human rights abuses and violations because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, including torture, rape, criminal sanctions, and killing. Today's landmark resolution affirms that human rights are universal. People cannot be excluded from protection simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The United States will continue to stand up for human rights wherever there is inequality and we will seek more commitments from countries to join this important resolution."
Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe and Suzanne Nossel, Deputy Assistant Secretaries for International Organization Affairs, and Daniel Baer, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, held a Special Teleconference Briefing to discuss the historic resolution. Ambassador Donahoe said, "It is the first internationally recognized form of protection for lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual people, and it is based on a very simple and elegant idea that all individuals deserve universal rights." She also pointed out two other aspects of this resolution."
She continued, "...First of all, it includes an expression of grave concern about acts of violence and discrimination that are committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. And from our vantage point, that was an essential element because there are horrific acts of violence and discrimination that are committed against LGBT people around the world in many places, and sexual orientation is even criminalized in many places. So the extent of support we got for expressing this idea that people deserve to be protected regardless of who they are and who they love and how they want to live their lives was really essential.
"Second, the operational provision of the resolution instructs the high commissioner for human rights to document discriminatory laws and practices that take place around the world, and the acts of violence that have taken place against individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity. And we've asked her to come back and report to the Council, and we hope this is just the beginning of a movement within the international community, within the UN, and at the Human Rights Council where we can work together to further promote and protect the human rights of LGBT people."
Deputy Assistant Secretary Nossel spoke after Ambassador Donahue. She said, "This is really a paradigmatic example of using the UN system to advance one of President Obama's top policy priorities. We've been able to deliver on broad international support behind an agenda that we have set as a key goal for this Administration.
"This resolution, I think, will be a lifeline to those struggling for their rights around the world who now know that they have the weight of the United Nations behind them, that they're not alone, that they can turn to the international system for protection. When they're abused, when they'e subject to violence, they can reach out and the Human Rights Council and the high commissioner for human rights are there to support them."
Deputy Assistant Secretary Nossel then turned it over to Deputy Assistant Secretary Baer. He said, "...Both the President and Secretary Clinton have made LGBT human rights a priority. Secretary Clinton gave a speech last year in which she said gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights. She has sent out a cable to all ambassadors instructing them that LGBT human rights are part of our comprehensive human rights policy. And within the context of the UN system, there has been a series of events leading up to today's resolution which was, as Suzanne indicated, led by South Africa, but Ambassador Donahoe's team here put together a side event here last September on LGBT human rights and violence against LGBT people."

Loaded Baked Potato Salad
For summer picnics, get-togethers, bbqs, etc. the main course, often grilled meat, gets all of the focus but it is also important to have a few good tasty sides on hand! The potato salad is a classic summer side that is easy to make and always goes over well! One of my favourite winter side dishes is a loaded baked potato or a baked potato with all the fixins including cheese, bacon, sour cream and green onions but it is too hot to have the oven on in the summer so why not make a loaded baked potato, potato salad? This baked potato salad is as easy to make as boiling the potatoes, I like using new potatoes in the summer, until tender and then mixing them up with the sour cream, cheese, bacon and green onions. You really cannot go wrong with creamy potatoes, cheese and plenty of bacon and this loaded baked potato salad is sure to be the first dish to disappear from your summer get-together!
The first time I photographed (below) this loaded baked potato salad I didn't garnish it with nearly enough cheese and bacon! :)
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
All of the flavours of fully loaded baked potatoes including bacon, cheddar, sour cream and green onions in a potato salad that is perfect for summer picnics and entertaining!
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, diced (optionally peeled)
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 green onions, sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- Boil the potatoes in water until just fork tender, about 15-20 minutes, drain and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile cook the bacon and set aside on pepper towels to drain.
- Mix everything and optionally, though highly recommended, let it chill in the fridge to allow the flavours to mingle before serving.
Option: If you like broccoli on your loaded baked potatoes it goes great in this salad as well!

The New York Lottery recently launched a new advertising campaign using hidden cameras to show exactly how far people would go for cash money. One guy even ventures into a New York City fountain for 10 bucks, emerging completely wet, shamed, and probably having contracted tetanus, but hey, at least he's $10 richer.
Using hidden cameras strategically place throughout the city, the NY lottery put NYC residents in somewhat humiliating situations to prove how strong the need/want for cash really is. Cash spews from an ATM, they tape cash to the top of a very high pole, etc. causing bystanders to put themselves in somewhat ridiculous situations to get the goods; and it's all caught on hidden camera.
In this economy with the NY and NJ Lottery maxing at $170 million this week, who wouldn't shimmy up a lamppost or jump into a fountain for that kind of paper? Count me in!Read More →

If only I had their energyPosted Tuesday, September 4, 2012, at 5:18 PM
Energy is wasted on the young.
I've often thought so, but now as I quickly slide past middle age and into, uh, well more than middle aged, I realize how true it is.
Watching our dog, Flash, has confirmed my suspicions. You see, Flash and I are actually about the same age, if you go in dog years (hers, not mine.)
And our life patterns these days seem to mirror each other. We both do our jobs to best of our ability, when we are actually working. It just seems our ability gets tired more quickly.
And work is no longer the highlight of our days, as it was just a few years ago.
Take Flash for example. Not too many years ago, she would run for the cattle lot anytime someone came outside. If a newcomer came to the farm she would run to find her ball, hoping she could entice the unsuspecting visitor into an hour-long game of catch, her second favorite job.
But now if Flash hears a door open, she instead heads for the door, plowing over whoever is unfortunate enough to be heading outside. And then she heads to her food dish, refusing to leave until it is filled ... twice.
I know how she feels, though. Mealtime is my favorite part of the day, as well. In fact, it's my three (okay, make that five) favorite times of the day. And for Flash and myself, it shows.
Of course, right behind mealtime is naptime on our list of priorities. And then of course, behind naptime is bedtime.
It's not that we don't do our jobs, we do. For Flash, her job involves bringing in the cows. She still does a good job and can definitely bring in the herd when asked. However, she seems to think she should ride on the Gator once she gets the cattle headed the right way, after all who needs stinking exercise anyway. And perhaps it's her eyesight, but she never seems to see those calves lagging behind anymore. Or maybe that is just too much effort.
Of course, when one hits middle age, we start to realize it's time for the next generation and their energy to start picking up some of the workload.
For Flash that means putting up with puppies, as in two. One is a red and white border collie named Angus (don't ask me why). She belongs to my Hubby. The other is a blue merle border collie named Maize. She belongs to my son. Both spend most of their time at our house bothering Flash.
In fact, she tenses every time the puppies come near, because she knows soon she will be bowled over, bitten, licked and then left, shaken, to regain her balance.
While Flash engages in her second favorite pastime most of the day (napping), the puppies, well, act like puppies. Together they've managed to turn my lawn and garden into a pot-holed ridden ,waste-land dotted with trash and a variety of treasures they've managed to steal from our sheds and my garage. And subsequently rip them to shreds.
A braided rug once put outside the back door for guests to wipe their feet, now lays unraveled, stretching at least 50 feet across the back yard. Pieces of card board, once a box of parts, lay strewn along the front yard. And walking across the yard resembles a battle field, riddled with holes. One has to be careful walking, or they just might fall all the way to China.
Flowers, flower pots and the water garden have not escaped the wrath of puppies. In fact, because of the drought and the scourge of the puppies I gave up on flower gardening early this summer, keeping alive the perennials and hoping for better luck next year.
Of course, puppies aren't the only youthful enthusiasm we have on the farm. Just like Flash trains her replacements in the job of cow chasing, Hubby is busy training his replacements on the farm, son A and son B.
And just like Flash, he's not ready to give up the job entirely, but maybe just share some of the hard work.
And just like the puppies, his replacements are eager and energetic. (But thankfully, they are past the digging in the yard stage.)
I find a similar situation in my jobs, both on the farm and at the office. I admire young people's exuberance, and I have to admit, as tired as I get their enthusiasm rubs off.
And I'm constantly reminded that's how it should be, with the older generation, slowly but surely letting go for the younger generation. We deserve the rest and they deserve the chance.
So maybe I was wrong earlier, energy isn't really wasted on the young.
But Flash and I sure wish they'd share, just a little.

Thanks for an update on Flash. You hadn't written about him for sometime. Sounds as if those young whippersnappers are throwing him more than a few elbow punches. Be firm about giving him only the amount of dog food he should have. Too much weight isn't good for beast or man. Five meals a day are fine--portion control is the key for all of us.
Deer can be a scourge in gardens too. My daughter was admiring a Persian Shield plant at my door on a Sunday. On Monday, I asked if she had gotten a photo w/her iphone, because Bambi had lopped off three branches during the night and had a chaser of a nearby azalea.
Great to hear you are going to be published.

Good stuff Marsha, but I repeat myself over, and over. :)
Greater challenges are to come for you. As a septuagenarian I am past the days that I dare attempt the heavy lifting around my place, at least most of the time. Occasionally I still risk a pulled muscle, and the wrath of my loving wife.
Most of the time I call my sixteen year old grandson to come over for the tough jobs. If you are lucky when you are well into stage three as I am now, you will have one of those around.
I hire him, and am the supervisor, but have been busted from paymaster. No one seems to think it fair that Poppa gives him a couple of bucks gas money for driving thirty miles, and working his butt off two, or three hours. So Grandma has become paymaster. It works well all around. Grandma gets to dote, Grandson can cover some of his expenses, and nobody has to listen to my back in the day stories such as working in a snowstorm for fifty cents an hour. ;)

Apologies to Flash,
I turned "her" into "him".
Maybe her problems w/the pups is the fact there are two. In our history w/introducing a younger dog, we noticed that the older female would sit on the sidelines observing the bad behavior with a face that seemed to say, "I CANNOT believe you are doing THAT".
The younger dog would stop in its tracks, as if to say, "OOPS!"

Covered Up
I haven't worn these over the knee boots yet this season. But today really called for it. I needed my legs to be covered up and then covered some more. It was super cold. So, these boots, a long wool coat, gloves and a huge scarf were the trick to staying warm today.
I really like the color of this shirt. It's peachy with hearts everywhere. How can you not love a shirt covered in hearts, I ask you?

There are some days that just call for a killer pair of OTK boots. This horrible weather means that it's time to break them out! I love your top, too.
