Organic Raspberry Leaf
A prolific plant that does well in temperate environments, our raspberry leaf grows wild and is gathered by hand in the Gorazde collection region of Bosnia. Picked by a group of collector families and neighbors, the young leaves are best when picked in early summer before the fruits develop. Living on small plots of land nestled amongst the gorgeous rolling hills and meadows of the region, sustainable wild collection represents an important source of income for these families.
We've Got the Right StuffWe raise the bar. The quality standard of the herbs we use is hard to pronounce, difficult to meet, and it's what makes us different, better. We're not ashamed to say it. Pharmacopoeial: it's the only quality standard our herbalists can rely on when blending teas for your health and wellness.
Gently nurturing and a friend of women.
Herbal Power
Supports healthy menstruation, tones the uterus and may be used for menstrual cramps.
Reason to love
Of course, the delectable fruit of Rubus idaeus is a well-known and well-loved summer treat, but it's the raspberry leaf you'll find in this tea. With a silvery under leaf that is reminiscent of the moon's glow, European and Native American women have used raspberry leaf for thousands of years for menstrual support, menstrual cramps and during pregnancy as a healthy tonic to help prepare the womb for childbirth.* We love this tea for its gently nurturing properties, and its robust taste, which is reminiscent of a delicate and mildly fruity black tea.
Full-bodied, like a fine black tea (without the caffeine!).
Suggested Use

In addition to tasting great and having a delicious raspberry aroma, this tea is an amazing all-natural remedy for menstrual cramps toning and strengthening the uterus and pelvic muscles. After I started taking a cup of this wonderful tea a day, I forgot about my period cramps that had been torturing me for years. But that's not the only thing that raspberry leaf tea is great for. Rich in vitamins C, K, E, A, B vitamins (folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6), manganese, magnesium, copper, iron, pota ssium, phosphorus, calcium, different amino acids, tannins, antioxidants, flavonoids, it can help people suffering from morning sickness, nausea, cardiovascular conditions, anemia, hypertension, headache, gluten intolerance and celiac disease, diabetes, leg cramps, arthritis, rheumatism, water retention, gallstones and gallbladder disease, IBS, asthma, colds, flues, asthma, gingivitis, canker sores and gum disease, acne, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, and even cancer. Raspberry leaf tea flushes toxins out of the body, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, relieves nausea and bloating, increases appetite, heals gastric ulcers, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, facilitates healing, boosts the immune system, helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood spikes keeping you full longer, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, soothes and heals dry and damaged skin, and even reduces the risk of cancer. It's also a wonderful natural sleep aid and stress reliever, helping you calm down, fall asleep faster and get a good night's rest. In addition to all this, raspberry leaf tea has no known side effects or contraindications. A used tea bag can be applied topically to heal wounds, scars, bruises, cuts, burns, rashes and acne-affected areas of your skin. A raspberry leaf face mask or scrub improves the complexion, brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces redness, spots, blotchiness and small lines, helps break down old scar tissue and prevent premature aging. It's truly a wonderful tea. I would recommend it not only to women suffering from period cramps, but also to anyone wanting to improve their overall health and well-being.
I have had menstral problems for 12 years; either bleeding every 2 weeks or going 42-52 days between cycles. Once on raspbeerry leaf tea, taken every single day and 2-3 cups just 2 days before I start my 30 day cycle, I am completely regulated. I buy 2 boxes every month. I have 6 children. I have taken it through my 4th,5th,& 6th pregnancies. It helped my hemoraging in delivery with those pregnancies after the first 3 having bleeding problems post partum. My bleeding stops after just days if I remained restful like women should after birth (which is difficult at best). When I stop taking the tea, thinking I'm regulated now, I always get off kilter and have break-through bleeding and a very late cycle. But once I start taking it every single day, not missing a day, I can get right back on schedule within a month. I also used to hate doctors and medications. I now have severe psoriatic arthritis and hypothyroidism. I NEED my doctors and injectable medicines. I can't go a day without those either. After hoping for a herbal cure or natural juice concoction, I know that God has given His people ALL things to be recieved with thanks. He gave me doctors and many medications to allow me to take care of 6 children and my home. He also gave me raspberry leaf tea to do what my then-midwife couldn't explain what was happening to me or how to solve it. Another midwife introduced me to raspberry leaf tea. It doesn't taste like raspberries at all. It tastes like a black, mild, decaffinated tea. I let it steep for 10-15 minutes and drink it no matter how long it's been sitting in the microwave. Even if it's been hours and cold. (I forget about it sometimes) I'm glad I can order it through iherb.com and it comes right to my door for less than the health food store which is inconvenient. I can also state that this product has been claimed to aid in fertility by making the uterus and famale organs very healthy. I have read it is a uterine stimulant. You should talk with your doctor about any early pregnancy signs that might warrant caution.
Not sure the effect.

Took 3 packages from 30 weeks to 36 weeks. Gave birth on 37 week. Takes me 8 hours to fully dilute. Not sure the result
Too Mild
Posted by yiweiyy on Oct 16, 2016
This was my first tea from Traditional Medicinals so I was really looking forward to it, unfortunately the taste wasn't very strong despite using 2 tea bags. I've bought raspberry leaf tea from another brand on iHerb and 1 sachet of that tastes stronger than 2 sachets of this. A huge pity, I was hoping this would taste good too since it's organic.
price is good
Posted by 5643838679023811998 on Jul 01, 2016
price is fair compare buying outside
Pleasant tea

Currently in my 38yh week of pregnancy and enjoying this infusion on a daily basis.

It's soothing and calming and helps with digestion too especially after a meal.

The Pueblo County sheriff has received hundreds of tips on the prime suspect in last week's triple homicide in Rye, but the manhunt continues.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor said Monday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Marshals have joined the search for Harry Mapps, 59.
Mapps is considered a suspect in the shooting deaths of Reginald Tuttle, 51, wife Kim Tuttle, 55, and their daughter, Kim Roderick 33.
Investigators said the three were shot multiple times before their home was set on fire Wednesday.
Mapps worked for Tuttle's trucking company and had lived at their house.
Although his warrants aren't for homicide, Mapps is wanted for cashing checks from the victims in Pueblo and La Junta.
"Every indication so far is he's left the state, but that's educated speculation," Taylor said.
KRDO-TV, The Chieftain's news partner, interviewed a woman Monday who knows Mapps.
"We know Harry. Harry was dispatching for Reggie when my husband was driving and he was such a nice, quiet, mild-mannered person that something must have snapped," Jacqui Shray told KRDO-TV.
Taylor said detectives could finish collecting evidence from the home by Wednesday. Because of the fire's damage, collecting evidence has proven to be meticulous.
"It's a lot like an archaeological dig," Taylor said. "You only get one shot at it so we want to make sure we do it right. We found quite a bit of evidence at the scene. The difference is because of the heat and the water and the condition of the building."
On Monday, investigators released a different photo of Mapps, which they think may be a more accurate, current description. In the photo he's thinner and clean shaven.
The sheriff's office recommends that if Mapps is sighted, even out of town, witnesses should call 911 or their local law enforcement.

1980 U.S. Olympic Women's Team Receives Honor
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 18, 2010) – The 1980 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team has been selected for induction into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2010, which was announced during a morning press conference on May 18 by the Colorado Springs Sports Commission.
The induction ceremony will take place on Oct. 27 at the Colorado Springs World Arena as the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame continues its tradition of honoring the rich, diverse legacy of the city's sports history.
The 1980 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team was considered the favorites to win the gold medal at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. After finishing fifth at the 1978 FIVB World Championship, the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team stepped up its preparation for the 1980 Olympics as it moved to Colorado Spring to live and train full-time at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The squad became the first "national team in resident" experiment in Olympic sport history in the United States.
"The move to Colorado Springs was a turning point for our team," said Diane McCormick French, who was one of the 12 members on the 1980 U.S. Olympic Women's Team. "We will always be grateful for the community's support back then, and we are truly honored to be selected to the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame."
Coached by Dr. Arie Selinger 30 years ago, the 1980 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team of Janet Baier, Carolyn Becker, Rita Crockett, Patty Dowdell, Laurie Flachmeier Corbelli, Debbie Green, Flo Hyman, Laurel Brassey Iversen, Debbie Landreth Brown, Diane McCormick French, Terry Place and Sue Woodstra was not only striving for gold in 1980, but also producing the country's first Olympic medal in the sport. However, the dreams of standing on the podium with gold medals around their necks at the Olympic Games in Moscow were shattered when the U.S. Olympic Committee's House of Delegates, at the urging of then-President Jimmy Carter, voted to boycott the 1980 Olympiad to protest the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.
"This is a tremendous honor for the 1980 U.S. Women's Olympic Team to be recognized by the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame," USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal. "Not only was the team favored to win the gold in Moscow, it became a trendsetter for the then-recently established U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs as other sports saw the benefit of year-round training in a single location. This team played a key role in providing the new training center credibility for future team sports to train in Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, the team's ultimate mark on history was denied with the 1980 boycott. Yet, this team forged the USA into being medal contenders in each of the subsequent Olympic Games. Many of these players have given back to the sport through the coaching ranks – on the National Team level and in the collegiate ranks – and other volleyball leadership positions."
Selinger and a handful of players – Becker, Crockett, Corbelli, Green, Hyman and Woodstra – remained with the program in Colorado Springs following the boycott and went on to win the silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, losing to China in the gold-medal game. Brown later would serve as an assistant coach on the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team, while Woodstra returned to the Olympics in 2008 as an assistant coach with the U.S. Women's Olympic Team that earned the silver medal in Beijing.
French, who still resides in the Colorado Springs area and was part of the 2008 U.S. Women's Olympic Team staff as technical coordinator, fondly remembers the time the team spent in its new training home.
"The support we received from the City of Colorado Springs was overwhelming and the community really made us feel at home," French said. "I will never forget the first match we played in the Springs at Coronado High School. The gym was packed and the marching band came streaming in from the four corners of the court prior to the anthem. We'd played in front of some big audiences overseas, but never had that kind of enthusiastic home crowd before. It was a tremendous welcome and the fans kept coming every time we played here. During one tour with Japan, we had to schedule a double-header to meet the demand for tickets. Since there was no gym at the OTC when we arrived, we learned our way around by training at almost every high school in town, the YMCA, the Boy's Club, Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, Colorado College and Queen Palmer Elementary School. It seemed like the city had thrown open all the doors for us."
Later this month, five members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Volleyball Team – Debbie Brown, Laurie Corbelli, French, Laurel Iversen and Sue Woodstra – will meet in Kaua`i, Hawaii, as part of the team's 30-Year Reunion celebration May 24-31. During the week, the five players will serve as clinicians for a volleyball clinic for 150 Kaua`i Club athletes and 40 coaches from the Hawaiian Islands. The Olympian's Volleyball Clinic, in memory of teammate Flo Hyman and volleyball pioneer Pat McChesney, is limited by gym space and by clinicians, so it is targeting only young Kaua'i Club volleyball players who have already made a commitment to the sport of volleyball. USA Volleyball is helping to support the clinic in the administration of the event. The Aloha Region, one of the 40 regions within USA Volleyball, is also sanctioning the clinic.
Other 2010 Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame inductees include Andy Gambucci (Colorado College ice hockey), Sherrice King (Rampart High School and University of Colorado basketball), Ken Brown (Wasson High School and Cornell University World Championship rower), Ken Hatfield (Air Force Academy football), Fred Whitacre (The Father of Baseball in Colorado Springs), David G. Elmore (Colorado Springs Skysox Owner and Founder, Sports Entrepreneur) and 1981 Mitchell High School State Football championship. Other awards presentations will have Dick Westbay presented the Col. F. Don Miller Award and Dr. Jamieson Kennedy honored as the Thayer Tutt Sportsman Award.
The Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame is presented for the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation by The Gazette and American National Bank. Reservations for tables or seats can be made by calling Sloane Pavalock at the Sports Corp (719) 634-7333, ext. 1009 or by e-mail at email@example.com. Prices are $2500.00 for a VIP table of 10 seats, $1000 for a patron table; $250 for a VIP seat, $100 for a patron seat. VIP seating includes priority seating location, complimentary wine and VIP pre-event reception and early start for the famed sports silent auction.

Another thing to experiment with is Chinese-style brewing: prewash the teapot and then the tea with boiling water, and then short infusions (starting with 5-10 seconds and going up from there).
You would use a lot more than two teaspoons of tea for that if you were using a teapot/infuser for kung fu-style brewing. I brewed some Tie Guanyin (Iron Goddess) last night and I used about four tablespoons. Still drinking from the teapot now, at 2 pm the day after.

""When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, 'I will never use it' but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there's just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, 'Are you ready to go?' and you say, 'Don't you want to see my passport?' and he goes, 'Oh yeah, I suppose I'd better.'" "
BJT Management Series: Xojet's Blair LaCorte
Blair LaCorte, 49, brought a childhood passion for aviation to XOJet. He joined the company as president in 2009, was named interim chief executive officer in 2010, and one year later became the full-time chief executive officer. He is also a senior advisor at TPG, a leading global private investment firm and an investor in XOJet. When he isn't working, he spends time with his wife and three sons and coaches soccer.
As the saying goes, no one cares how smart you are until they know that you care about them. The first thing you have to do is understand what customers need. Then you have to build their trust, so they are not buying airplanes, they are buying a relationship.
Growing up in a family business, you get exposed to entrepreneurship in a very different and personal way. But there is not a lot of training, so I got a business degree to figure out what I had been doing right and what I hadn't been doing right.
My number-one criterion for hiring people is self-awareness. If people don't know who they are and what they're good at, it is going to be difficult for them to lead. My second criterion, which is based on self-awareness, is continuous improvement. I like to ask a person to discuss every time they changed a job or made a decision about where to go to school–did the person learn from mistakes and get better at making decisions?
You need to invest time getting to know someone before you hire. We do a lot of testing and reference checking up front.
Relationships are built by doing things together. We have a lot of mechanisms in place to reinforce our culture and level of service. Customer Service and Flight Operations sit next to each other in the same room. This enables immediate communication and reduces the chance for any errors or oversights when critical issues come up. We have pilot off-sites every year where they meet every single executive in the company and we also have cross-functional events where, for example, the finance team will meet with the HR team.
We spend a lot of time figuring out how someone flies and then we design something for them. The market has been taught to ask customers about airplane type and price per hour, but those are the wrong questions to ask. Things that matter to certain people don't matter to others. The first questions should be: How do you fly? Where are you going? What flexibility do you have? What type of trip is it–vacation, business, funeral? How many people will be on the airplane?
We are like a Four Seasons hotel. Whereas [flying] fractional is more like a time-share, and [flying] charter is more like using Priceline.com, where you are searching for a certain type of hotel but you are willing to put up with inconsistency. With us you always get the same experience.
A weakness in our industry is that we all try to say that our company is superior to other companies. I believe there is going to be a mix of solutions and that fractional will be right for some people, charter from aircraft management companies will be right for certain people and we [XOJet] will be right for certain people. We don't have the mind-set that our approach is superior. We have the mindset that our approach is well defined and when we're matched with the right customer, we get exceptional results.
XOJet is a private aviation company based in Brisbane, Calif. It offers charter flights and various programs such as Coast2Coast, which provides incentives for U.S. transcontinental travelers. Last week, XOJet announced an initiative called the Platinum Partner Network, which will allow customers to access its specialty programs through select charter brokers.

"Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not. "
Chip Ganassi
When Chip Ganassi was five, his father gave him and his cousins a number of go-karts he had confiscated from the owner of a go-kart track who had failed to pay his bill after the elder Ganassi had paved the track. That early experience led the young Ganassi to high school dirt-bike motocross contests, motorcycle racing and, eventually, professional auto racing. He competed in the Indianapolis 500 five times between 1982 and 1986 before transitioning into the owner/management side of the business.
Today, Chip Ganassi steers a nearly $100 million auto-racing empire and Sports Illustrated ranks him among the most powerful men in motorsports. In 2008, Team Ganassi enjoyed its best year ever, taking the Grand-Am Series Championship and its prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona, and highlighted by driver Scott Dixon's winning the IndyCar Series and its crown jewel: the Indianapolis 500. Ganassi also merged his NASCAR operations with those of Dale Earnhardt Inc., one of the sport's most recognizable names.
A Pittsburgh native, Ganassi attended local Duquesne University and still resides in the Steel City, where he maintains his corporate offices. But he doesn't spend much time there. Making heavy use of a Learjet 45 (delivered on his 45th birthday) and other airplanes, he flies to racing hotbeds in Charlotte, N.C., and Indianapolis, as well as to numerous races across the country. His operation also employs three other aircraft to ferry crew from venue to venue on the IndyCar, NASCAR and Grand-Am racing circuits.
When you graduated from college in 1982 did you plan a career in auto racing?
No, I was going to go into our family businesses, but I just couldn't get racing out of my system. I entered the sport at a time when it was becoming a business and I was fortunate to be on the leading edge of that trend.
What led you to go from driving to the business side of the sport?
I was getting older and my family background and college education were in business. I always looked at the business model of things.
Do you still drive?
No. I think there was a time and place for that, and while I certainly enjoyed that time in my life, I'm past it.
Is it common for race team owners to be involved in several race platforms?
Most owners are just in one segment-Indy cars, NASCAR or sports cars. I guess I'm like the gambling addict who doesn't care if it's the blackjack table or the horses. I like the action of racing in whatever form that takes.
What led you to use business aircraft?
In the early '90s, people in the racing business were beginning to use business aircraft. In those days we were probably doing 12 or 15 races a year and I didn't really see a need for it, but as I began to get older I spoke with Mario Andretti, who was a big mentor of mine early in my career, and he talked to me about the use of business aircraft. So I started getting my toe in the water. It was around the beginning of '95 when I acquired my first aircraft, a Lear 24.
Prior to that it was $100,000 a year in commercial air travel, often running through airports trying to make flights, spending a lot of extra nights on the road. I spent a lot of Sunday evenings in not-so-glamorous places trying to get home, and there were a lot of red-eye flights.
You've owned other jets before the Learjet 45. How long do you plan to hold onto this one?
Prior to the Lear 45 I had a Lear 31, and prior to that the 24. I've had [the 45] for five years. I just put money down on a Learjet 85. I expect to take delivery of it in 2013. What I am trying to figure out is if I want to go to a [Learjet] 60 before that. You certainly can stand up in it and it's got a little more performance, but it's just not as sexy as a 45.
It's said that you use your aircraft like other people use their cars. What is a typical week like for you?
Usually on Tuesdays I'm in Charlotte or Indianapolis for the day. Then on Thursday or Friday I'm off to a race. If I have meetings at Target-our main sponsor-that's usually on a Wednesday or Thursday. And then on the weekends, about 40 a year, I'm usually off to a race. We've averaged between 450 and 490 flight hours a year for the last five years.
What about personal travel?
I do so much business travel that a lot of my personal travel is tied into a business trip. I probably use the jet [solely for personal trips] only about twice a year.
It sounds as if your operation couldn't function without private air transportation.
We transport more people on the weekends and have more away games than an NFL team-an NFL team has only half its games away. We have 34 NASCAR races away and IndyCar has 18 away, and sports cars are all away games. That's where our corporate aircraft come into play. [Without them] we wouldn't be as nimble and competitive. With a jet you can be at somebody's desk in a few hours and when you are dealing with a lot of high-level decision-makers, it's great to be face to face.
What other benefits do you derive from business jet ownership?
Certainly you get home sooner, you can leave later and you can accomplish more in one day. You can get up in the morning, go to the West Coast, turn around and come back that evening. I've done that a bunch of times. You can have two or three meetings in a day in two or three towns very easily. We often are in three, sometimes four races a weekend, so we'll use the jet to transport seven or eight people to a race.
What moments do you remember the most in your auto-racing career?
This past year, obviously, winning the Indianapolis 500 for the third time. The first time I ever drove at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the first time I qualified for the Indianapolis 500 at age 23-those moments stand out.
Your racing teams are having their best season ever. Does your strategy change depending on the racing circuit?
The hardest thing to do in business when you have a good strategy is to keep the same strategy. People always want to tell you that you need to do this and you need to do that, but when you have a successful model you want to keep it. We have a strategy that works and we're staying with it until it becomes antiquated-and I don't see that happening.
You seem to have a keen eye for driving talent. What do you look for in a driver?
It's easy to look at statistics only, but I think you need to dig further. What we look for first is heart. I want to know what a driver's life is outside of sports because that tells a lot about a person. You look at history and upbringing. You want a driver to have a solid foundation to stand on so they have confidence when some blogger or media person takes a shot at their performance. We want someone who can maintain a smooth disposition over a particularly rocky period.
Which is more important for racing success-the car or the driver?
It depends on the moment. I can tell you this: when you win it's always because you had a great driver, and when you lose it's because you had a bad car. But it takes a great team to make a winning organization.
How important is the corporate sponsorship?
Without sponsorship, we go away. We used to be a three-car stock-car team and we had a lack of sponsorship for the third car so we closed that down this past June. We shuttered about one seventh of our business.
What do you do when you're not managing race teams?
I enjoy time with my daughter. I like to ski. But I enjoy what I do for a living, so when I'm not doing it, I'm [usually] either sleeping or heading for the next race. I enjoy this business a lot, so in a way it's my country club, my girlfriend, my cigarettes and my social drink all gathered up in one.

Former city man sentenced
LOCKPORT – A Western New York man who fled the state before being convicted of sex abuse has been sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison.
Buffalo media outlets report that 47-year-old Paul Turley of Dunkirk was sentenced Friday in Niagara County Court, where his trial was underway in January when he left the courtroom and didn't return.
Turley failed to reappear in Niagara County court after lunch during jury selection on Jan. 23. Both he and his wife Diane were found together Feb. 22 in Tucson, Ariz. at the mobile home of a former Western New York resident. Marshals had followed the Turleys' trail through Michigan, Wisconsin and New Mexico before taking him into custody in Tucson.
After taking off, Turley was found guilty of sexually abusing two young girls – one his stepniece, the other his stepdaughter – in North Tonawanda during the 1990s.
The victims, who are now 22, didn't report the allegations against Turley to North Tonawanda police until 2011.
Diane Turley, 51, of Lily Dale, surrendered to Lockport police April 2 and was arraigned on a charge of second-degree hindering prosecution.

Skip to comments.Outdoor Show: Without a show, region would lose $44 million
Posted on 01/24/2013 10:22:01 AM PST by Second Amendment First
The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show was expected to bring $44 million in direct spending to the region, according to the Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau.
Now that the show has been postponed -- with no reschedule date set, and none imminent -- many hotels and restaurants could be in for a difficult winter.
"This is a hard time of the year to fill hotels," said Rick Dunlap, a spokesman for the bureau. "A lot of these hoteliers relied on this show to make their budget for the early part of the year."
The $44 million in direct spending the bureau projects does not include secondary expenses that also bring money to the region, like sales at gas stations or for supplies.
The show, billed as the largest outdoor sports show in the state, was to have more than 1,400 vendors. Many of those vendors traveled from out of the area and would have needed hotel rooms for the show's week-long run.
Reed is finished in this country.
As the old saying goes—"Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas."
I had never heard of the ESOS before this controversy evolved. Never knew that much money was invloved. But I wonder why it was ever held on the east coast in the first place?
Seems like Texas or some other Red State would be a better place.
I expect a buttload of kickbacks and payola to politicians to legislate mandatory participation their politically correct "Sports Shows" (conveniently without ARs, AKs, Shotguns, etc) in future.
If they (business) weren't vocal before the cancellation, then I have no sympathy for their misery over the repercussions.
"Reed is finished in this country. "
One can only hope. LOL at all the obama voters in that part of the state, too. Elections have consequences.
I just hope that GIECO , GE Capital , and COMCAST take a hit on this loss of revenue .
It is unfortunate that residents of Pennsylvania have to take this finacial hit , but I believe the residents are in support of this action .
Interpretation: Surrender your rights and principles for a buck.
all these hotels, etc. should publicly thank Reed for killing their golden egg laying goose in the name of political correctness, and the Democrat Progressive Agenda.
Pennsylvania is a huge market for outdoor sports. Hunting and fishing especially. Most of the state is red, with the exceptions of Filthydelphia, Pittsburgh, State College and (bankrupt) Harrisburg.
The first day of buck season, the schools are closed and over a million hunters take to the woods.
I don't feel the least little bit sorry for hotel/restaurant/tourist/hospitality workers who voted for Obama, for Sen Casey.
Can't hear us now?
How about $44 Million later!
Can you hear us now?
We are not stopping here! From the Boycott organizer's site.
Today We Won a Battle Now We Move Onto The War !
Congratulations and Thank You for speaking up and making a difference on our Second Amendment Rights.
We have won a Battle today, but the war still looms in front of us. We have Leaders in our Government who still wish to take our Rights away from us. Sen. Feinstein is proposing her Assault Weapons Ban to Senate tomorrow, and we need to make sure all of our elected officials know that any stance against our rights will be unacceptable.
The Clinton Era ban was ruled completely useless after its termination and now there is another encompassing a ban being proposed. While we have the momentum and while we are able, we need to tell our friends Families, and even people who do not have guns to call E mail and write to their Congressmen and Senators and tell them our Constitutional Rights are not up for debate or them to meddle in.
Lets stay active and vigilant, we cannot allow this to happen. Rally all you 21st Century Minutemen we must act before we can no longer act.
Watch for some exciting news later today as we launch our next campaign !
I hope that GIECO ,GE Capital , and COMCAST take a financial hit on this .
Cancell ,..cancell,..cancell ..
It is indeed unfortunate for the residents of Pennsylvania.
Let the show production company sponcers see and learn that decisions have consequence
.. when they "infringe " on the Constitution.
Elections have Consequences.
"It is unfortunate that residents of Pennsylvania have to take this finacial hit , but I believe the residents are in support of this action ."
But it does underscore the fact that freedom isn't free! Something that a lot of people have taken for granted for too long.
$44M dollars is not enough money to buy my principles and rights.
Exactly. They think we're all common whores like they are.
Harrisburg is/was a very logical location to host such an event. Years and years ago it was the method for east coast hunters to connect with west coast outfitters. The location is right off the interstate and within easy reach for thousands of sportsmen. I booked many hunting/fishing trips over the years at this show.
One word can summarize what needs to be done: compete.
Find every Left-leaning business and bank and politician, shun them economically, and support their conservative competition.
Compete in every arena, from the beauty salon to Wall Street.
Probably should've thought of that before kicking your vendors, sponsors and customers in the teeth.
There are always consequences.
ONe of my favorite bits of wisdom
...been saying it a lot lately.
Suggest you check out the 2012 election map for PA by county to see how red most of the state is. The solid blue areas are not in the vicinity of these hotels and restaurants.
It suggests they were being pressured by somebody with the power to produce a bigger hit against them than they are now experiencing.
Then it wouldn't be called the "EASTERN Sports and Outdoor Show........
And just because Texas is "EAST" of New Mexico doesn't mean they are really in the East......LOL!
There are more licensed hunters in Pennsylvania than any other state. Michigan is 2nd, Texas is 3rd.
Dauphin County went for Obama and Casey. Paybacks a bitch.
"Seems like Texas or some other Red State would be a better place.
Seventy percent of the population is in the eastern time zone. Northeasterners are NOT as used to thousand mile drives as westerners. Plus the shows provide perhaps the only opportunity for easterners to touch and examine gear that is available all over Texas and other western states.
Comcast pulled out of the show before the NRA did, actually.
This would be a good time for some other entity to scoop up this show. Maybe the NRA could run it.
My man, you don't know much more about Pennsylvania than what the talking heads on TV say. Most Pennsylvania counties are "red"; at least half a dozen of the 67 PA counties were over 70% for Romney this past election. Many school districts in these "red" counties have multiple school holidays explicitly for hunting.
"The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show was expected to bring $44 million in direct spending to the region, according to the Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau.
Now that the show has been postponed — with no reschedule date set, and none imminent — many hotels and restaurants could be in for a difficult winter."
It sounds like they are laying blame and guilt on Businesses for standing up for their constitutional rights. The blame should and does fall on Reed for refusing to backtrack on a bad decision.
My man, you dont know much more about Pennsylvania than what the talking heads on TV say...
I think of Pennsylvania and I think of Mayor Nutter and other east coast liberal states influenced by ding bats like Spector, Rendell, Murtha and other such losers.
Thanks all for setting me straight on some of the finer aspects of PA.
Unfortunately Reed Exibitions will survive this. I was researching to see if they are doing any other shows so I could avoid them and pass the word. Their website shows them managing 390 shows, assume a one year snapshot, with only 29 being in the US. The only show that would remotely interest me is a hardware show in Vegas, which is a few thousand miles out of my way. Hopefully, when the dust settles a Cabelas or Pro Bass or some other 2A supporter steps up to get the Harrisburg show back together in the future.
This situation is 100% the fault of Reed. If anyone losing money wants to moan and scream, they should direct it to Reed and only Reed. Just my opinion.
Reed is learning that choices have consequences. I hope the NSSF gets someone else for the SHOT show from now on.
Our principles are not for sale at any price.
Though I do wish we could compile a list of companies that supported this boycott who are seeing real financial hardship due to the postponement. I will do business with these companies over the appeasers. We should all do the same.
Many other Northeastern states are in the same situation as Pennsylvania. Voters in a few big cities tip the elections towards liberals. If you take out just a few urban areas from the 2012 election results Republican candidates would have won in a landslide. Here in New Hampshire many towns reliably vote Republican, but a few bastions of students and liberals in cities outnumber the rural residents.
What the fools in the cities forget is that they depend on the rural areas for everything the eat, their energy, and much of what they purchase in stores.
Without a Second Amendment, nation would lose Constitution
Our Founding Fathers were right in allowing only property owners the right to vote.
Letting ubran takers vote is like handing liquor and the car keys to 15 year old boys.
East Tennessee would be a great spot...within a day's drive for millions of sporting folk...
dummassery has consequences.
Yep, I concur jb. Most of the folks I meet from PA (with the exception of the blue cities) are scrappers. And I love their accents being a Southerner and all ;D!
The Patriot News is a leftist paper so you need to consider that when reading their stuff....
Whole towns, businesses, school districts and industries shut-down here for the various hunting seasons; deer, bear, fowl etc. If we could just add 'liberals & demonrats' to the hunting seasons, I'd arm-up with my Barrett .50/ Class III AR-10/15, and go along. LOL.
Yeah, both of them. Not a lot of Obama voters in Hershey.
If not for the preppers gun and ammo buyers, the economy would really stink.
Reed Shows is just a part of Reed Elsevier. They are huge. Lexis-Nexis is them. All those glossy travel magazines that you see in your doctors' office like Conde-Nast and scientific and legal publications as well. They'll take a hit(rightfully so), but they're far from finished. A couple of years back I did a 2 week job racking 300+ servers for their U.S. based operations.
Thanks for the correction. I should know better, having once lived there.
Progressive was the sponsor listed on the ESOS site. GEICO though is just as bad, cancelling a policy because the person is involved in weapons manufacturing.

Glenn Curtiss gets credit for the first flying car with his 1917 Autoplane that married a flivver (resembling a Model T) to a biplane–make that triplane. Aerofiles.com found the photos and drawings. The car, patented in 1919, was capable of short hops–bunny hops, to be exact. It tried but never achieved sustained flight. By the way, if you think the old Curtiss company is long gone, meet today's Curtiss-Wright Corporation, the same company formed in 1929 with the merger of 12 Wright and Curtiss affiliated companies. It's still there, and still in aviation.

GA Family Services Adds Vanstrom
G.A. Family Services, part of the Lutheran organization, recently announced the addition of Samantha Vanstrom as program manager for the Jamestown Foster Care Program.
"We're very happy Sam has joined our team. Her experience with managing a non-profit program and her experience empowering teens throughout the southwestern New York area will hopefully help grow our office and provide the opportunity to help more young people in our area," said Maggie Dreyer, director of community-based services. "This foster care program focuses on youth who may have been in several foster homes or need some extra care. We have offices in Chaffee and West Seneca as well; Jamestown is our youngest and smallest program. We're hoping to recruit, train and be able to support more families so that we all help more kids."
The Jamestown Foster Care office opened in 2009 and works primarily with youth from Chautauqua County. All three offices work together though, covering all of Western New York.
"It's important to me and everyone involved in this program that young people are given every opportunity to heal, to grow and to create a better life for themselves. The families we work with really care about these kids, and sometimes that is exactly what the kids have been missing," Vanstrom said. "I'm really glad I can continue helping kids that don't necessarily get handed the best life from the get go."
Vanstrom is a 2006 graduate of Cornell University and holds both a master's and MBA from the University of Maryland University College. She previously was the senior program coordinator for Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties Reality Check, the youth action program of the NYS Bureau of Tobacco Control. Originally from Houston, Vanstrom lives on a dairy farm in Kennedy with her husband, Eric.

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Editorial misguided
Steven McWilliams, Minot
I would like to give a reply to your recent editorial regarding gun crime and mental illness.
Not only was your editorial misguided, it was offensive and completely out of touch with reality. Had you bothered to research your subject beforehand, you would have discovered that persons with a mental illness are far more likely to be the victims of violence, rather than the perpetrators of it.
I have a mental illness, and yet I served 21 years in the U.S. Air Force, with distinctions, got my bachelor's degree in nursing, and worked in that field until my illness made it to stressful to adequately performs the duties of my profession. I hope that in the future, you will sufficiently research your subject before writing your editorial.

"We are extremely proud of receiving LEED certification, which represents our ongoing commitment to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in all that Lakeshore Foundation does," said Jeff Underwood, Lakeshore Foundation president. "We are thankful for the generous support of so many private and corporate members in our community and greatly appreciate the cooperation and support of KPS Group, Inc. and HOAR Construction."
The 54-bed housing facility opened in June 2008 and is used by injured military personnel and their families participating in Lima Foxtrot programs, U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and youth program participants. The building adheres to LEED certification standards for environmentally responsible construction. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health; sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
"Lakeshore Foundation is a mission driven organization focused on the quality of life for people with physical disabilities," said G. Gray Plosser, FAIA, LEED AP president and CEO of KPS Group, Inc. "It has been our pleasure at KPS Group to have worked on their Lakeshore campus for over 20 years. We are proud to be a part of their first LEED certified building, the Lakeshore Foundation Campus Housing Facility."
"The Lakeshore Dorm Renovation Project is successful on many levels, said Coker Barton, Vice President of Healthcare for HOAR Construction. "Achieving LEED Certification takes a major commitment from the owner, design team and the construction manager. Hoar Construction is committed to the LEED process. We have 45 LEED accredited professionals on our staff. We are dedicated to supporting our clients and design team partners in the process of attaining the highest level of LEED certification possible."
Lakeshore Foundation is also proud to be on the forefront of environmentally conscious business practices and operations in the state of Alabama. When the Birmingham Area Chamber of Commerce recently launched its Green Business Initiative, the Foundation was one of the businesses recognized. Lakeshore Foundation is striving to be more environmentally friendly and recently developed new Green initiatives in addition to some of the more common practices such as recycling paper and other items.
Swimming Green
For the past seven years, water has evaporated from the pool to the ground at a steady rate of two to four gallons per minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now, thanks to Lakeshore Foundation Facility Operations Coordinator Tim Cameron's design and ingenuity, that water is being captured in a large tank, cleaned, and then recycled back into the pool. Cameron estimates that his water recovery system, which has been approved by the Jefferson County Health Department, is conserving 100,000 gallons of water per month.
Cleaning Green
Starting in April of 2008, Lakeshore Foundation began using certified Green cleaning chemicals to clean the floor, bathroom and windows. The new chemicals are safe for the person using them as well as the environment.
Eating Green
Lakeshore Foundation purchases paper products from recycled papers instead of plastic products. Some of the cups used are made from corn products which deteriorate within a week versus plastic which takes much longer to decompose.
Lakeshore Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with physical disabilities through fitness, recreation, and athletics. These programs help children and adults with physical disabilities maintain healthy and active lifestyles, as well as develop stronger self-esteem and improve independent living skills.

Tech Tip: Facebook pushing Paper
Facebook released a new app for iPhone users on Monday: Paper.
The idea behind the app is to make it easier for Facebook users to discover and read news. Each news category is called a "section." Users are able to add or remove these sections with just a few simple gestures and taps.
On top of finding and reading news, Paper also lets Facebook users browse their personal News Feed. In my time with the app, I've found the layout and general usability to be better than that of the stand-alone Facebook app.
Users are able to chat, post status updates and photos, like and comment on other posts and search and view friend's profiles along with Groups.
There's a bit of a learning curve to the gestures and steps required to accomplish familiar tasks, but once you're past that I think you'll find Paper to be an enjoyable app.
You can get more information about Facebook's Paper app at Facebook.com/paper.

/ Why Should We Care About Air Quality? (NEDC-NRCS-000257)
Loading Tree...
National Employee Development Center
As the first in SWAPA+H, air is an important natural resource that is vital to life. Although our agency has addressed issues related to air quality and atmospheric change since its formation, these issues have not been a traditional focus area for the NRCS in most locations. As our partners and the public have begun placing a larger emphasis on air quality and atmospheric change issues, NRCS has needed to develop the technical expertise for integrating conservation of the air resource into our assistance portfolio. This course will provide a broad overview of air quality and atmospheric change and begin to equip NRCS conservationists and our partners with the knowledge and confidence to address air-related resource concerns.
Upon completion of the training, participants will be able to:
Delivery Method
This program is Web-based.
Approximately 30 minutes.
Target Audience
The course is designed for all NRCS employees, but particularly for State Air Quality and Energy Contacts, conservation planners, partnership employees, and conservation technical assistance providers to assist them in understanding why air quality and atmospheric change issues are important for our agency and partners.

Navy Completes First X-47B Arrested Landing
The U.S. Navy on Wednesday conducted the first arrested landing onto an aircraft carrier with Northrop Grumman's X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) carrier demonstration aircraft.
(The X-47B aboard USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) after safely landing. During the July 10 test, the X-47B caught the 3 wire with the aircraft's tailhook. Photo, courtesy of NAVAIR.)
After taking off from the Naval Air Station (NAS) at Patuxent River, Md., the X-47B completed a 35 minute flight, reaching 145 knots prior to landing on the deck of the USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia. Through GPS coordinates and advanced avionics, the flight of the X-47B was controlled almost entirely by computers.
"This demonstration has enabled us to merge industry and government technologies together which will enable the U.S. Navy to pursue future unmanned aviation carrier capabilities," said Rear Adm. Mat Winter, who oversees the program executive office for unmanned aviation and strike weapons.
Over the last decade, the Navy has been working on integrating unmanned aircraft into its carrier operations. Wednesday's arrested landing was the final test flight of an eight month program, which included a catapult launch from an aircraft carrier in May.
The X-47B, with a 62-foot wingspan and capability of reaching 40,000 feet, is a demonstration aircraft, designed to simulate future sea-based missions for the Navy.
Results from the recent test flights will help the Navy to develop parameters for a next-generation variant of the X-47B, as it looks to launch its Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance and Strike program (UCLASS), which it is currently seeking proposals for.
"Our team has executed all major program objectives and developed the concept of operations and demonstrated technologies for a future unmanned carrier-based aircraft capability," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, Navy UCAS program manager. "[Today] we have proven we can seamlessly integrate unmanned systems into the carrier environment."

We Are Pawns in Obama's Fiscal Cliff Game
Politicians playing chicken not only with people's jobs and livelihoods, but their mental and, quite possibly as a result, physical well-being.
It angers me.
This isn't the NHL lockout where the two sides can play "politics," stall and stalemate in a battle of egos.
The impact of something as relatively insignificant as a hockey work stoppage drives home the magnitude of what the fiscal cliff can do to Americans -- and people around the globe -- even if we never jump off of it.
With no hockey, middle-of-the-road wage earners get hurt.
In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal if Molson Coors (TAP) sees a decline in Canadian revenue.
However, don't tell that to the guy who works at a brewery in St. Johns, Newfoundland or Moncton, New Brunswick. The guy who might lose his job -- and if he lived in the United States, his health insurance -- when Molson Coors reduces staff.
As usual, Twitter broadcasts opinions and fuels emotion. One of TheStreet's Real Money contributors, Kate Stalter and CNBC personality Carl Quintanilla posted pretty simple, but effective Tweets. Both go a long way to explaining this spectacle.
It is very Y2K, in that it will likely end up being all of this for nothing. But, with Y2K, like a hockey lockout, it didn't matter quite as much to nearly as many people.
No hockey, we buy less beer.
No Y2K, no problem. You have a few extra cans of beans in your pantry. If you're really extreme, you bought some special computer software, unplugged your VCR and maybe built a bunker in the background.
But this fiscal cliff is real.
Yet, it's treated just like any other less meaningful crisis. Sure, I think it will pass, but what if it doesn't? Then what?
I suspect my life will go on. But I live in a bubble. While not necessarily "affluent" myself, I live in one of the most affluent parts of Southern California. Life will barely change in my community no matter what happens with the fiscal cliff.
Same for much of the San Francisco Bay Area, Manhattan, Boston, Seattle and other places with tony urban and isolated suburban neighborhoods where people don't even think twice about spending thousands a month on rent, "buying" a house for millions of dollars and going out to eat dinner every other night.
Sure, the capital gains tax might make some rich dude in Santa Monica sell his house prematurely, but there will be another wealthy soul there to buy it above asking price. Maybe the same person puts off the BMW purchase when his lease expires, opting to keep the 2010 model by paying the balance.

Today's women face a new form of oppression — the pressure to be a perfect mother — argues French feminist Elisabeth Badinter in The Conflict. The good mother is a "myth," Badinter tells The Globe and Mail. "A frustrated mother who is denied her own desires and ambitions is not good at all for her child."
Ms. Badinter argues that yesterday's patriarchy has been replaced by the tyranny of a suckling baby, and the pressures of "natural" parenting in the form of drug-free childbirth, co-sleeping, and cloth diapers. Moreover, women's decision to step out of the workforce to devote themselves to their children is setting the cause of equality back to their grandmother's generation.
When feminists fought to involve fathers in childrearing, bottle-feeding was "very practical," Badinter says. Now breastfeeding and co-sleeping make fathers de trop.
The new model of super-parenting might work for some women, she concedes, but it's not right for everyone. "And to those who don't feel like adopting motherhood as a full-time job, don't believe you are bad mothers."
A retired professor, Badinter and her husband have three grown children.

'Caring' community
To the Journal editor:
There have been a number of articles in the past about the composting program in Marquette. The powers that be are putting forth effort to help lower the cost of garbage disposal and extend the life of the county landfill.
Even the best recycling/composting program in the world will not make a difference without the participation of the community it serves. Composting your food scraps and other compostable materials could divert 60 percent of the waste stream from the landfill.
Composting can be an easy and effective way to make a positive difference for the community! Items acceptable for composting include fruit and vegetable scraps, bread, pasta, grains, eggshells, nutshells, coffee filters and grounds, tea bags, tea leaves, cooking oil, and grease. Meat, fish, poultry, and bones are also acceptable, preferably wrapped in old newspaper.
Soiled paper towels, napkins, pizza boxes and paper food wrap is also acceptable. A 5-gallon bucket under the kitchen sink is a convenient way to start collecting food scraps that can then be dumped in a trailer currently in front of the Marquette City Service Center at 850 Baraga Ave., marked "Organics." The Marquette County Solid Waste Management Authority (MCSWMA) utilizes the compost in landscaping and other projects at the landfill site and is presently in need of more compost materials.
Marquette CARES (Community Amending Recycling EffortS) is a community organization that shares information and encourages recycling and composting. For more information email email@example.com, or find us on Facebook.
Also, more specific information regarding the county composting program can be found on the MCSWMA website (www.mqtcorecycling.com).

Google Mail: Create Contact Group from an Excel File
Google Mail: Create Contact Group from an Excel File
Google Mail allows you to import a contact group into contact from an Excel file. This process consists of two steps: saving the Excel file with the desired information as a .CSV file and then importing the .CSV file into your contacts.
Step 1: Entering contacts into an Excel file and saving it as a .CSV
Open Microsoft Excel. In the first row, label the first three columns as follows:
- First Column: First Name
- Second Column: Last Name
- Third Column: Email Address
- In the rows below those, enter the corresponding information for each contact.
- When you are done entering all the information for each contact, navigate to "File" > "Save As".
- From the "Save as type:" drop-down menu, select "CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)."
- Select a location to save the file.
- Click [Save]. If a window pop-ups asking if you want to keep the workbook in this format, click [Yes].
In addition to columns for First Name, Last Name and Email Address, you may also add columns for other information, such as Home Address and Mobile Phone.
Step 2: Importing the .CSV file into Google Contacts
- Navigate to cedarville.edu/google.
- Click the "Mail" link and log in.
- From the Google Apps options across the top of the page, click "Contacts." The Contacts page will open.
- Click [More]. A drop-down menu will appear.
- From the drop-down menu, click [Import…]. The Import Contacts window will open.
- Click [Choose File]. Navigate to and select the .CSV file you created in Step 1.
- Click [Open].
- Click [Import]. The group will appear in the sidebar as "Imported MM/DD/YY (#)."
- To rename the group, navigate to the group and click [More] > "Rename group."
If the .CSV filed you imported contained contacts already in your Google Contacts, you may have duplicates of those contacts in the base "My Contacts" group. For more information, see the Google Mail: Merge Duplicate Contacts help page.
Keywords: import contacts from Excel, create .CSV file from Excel, make .CSV file

My last order was a little bit over $30. I finally got through the samples I had ordered from Adagio and found some teas I could enjoy in larger quantities. Hopefully those will last me for a bit though at the rate the Vanilla Rooibos is disappearing I have a feeling that may require a reordering before I run out of everything else.
This morning was a mug of Casablanca Twist. After realizing that I was never going to find non-coffee flavored water to make tea with on campus, I switched to a soy mocha to get me through my afternoon classes. One single serving carton of chocolate soy milk plus 2 shots of espresso works really well for a nice pick me up. It doesn't quite get me through classes as well as a mug of tea does, but as it was said before, coffee is better than bad tea. Now that I don't have to be caffeinated, I switched to the Vanilla Rooibos. Later tonight will be some sort of green tea to get me through my late class though I have not decided which one yet.

Paula Sollami Covello
Mercer County Clerk
As Veterans Day approaches, Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello reminds U.S. Military veterans residing in Mercer County that they may now obtain a county photo identification card that also designates their status as a veteran. The low cost identification card is available to all Mercer County veterans in acknowledgement of there service to the United States of America.
The requirements for a Mercer County ID card are:
- Must be a Mercer County resident for at least 6 months.
- Must produce the following:
- A valid birth certificate with a raised seal or a naturalization certificate.
- A valid NJ Motor Vehicle License or voter registration card or, lease agreement.
- To have their US military veteran status designated on the ID card, veterans must also produce or register their DD-214 honorable discharge papers with the County Clerk's Office.
"ID cards are available to veterans at a reduced fee of $10.00, half the County's standard price for an ID card and filing their DD-214 form is free of charge to all honorably discharged Mercer County Veterans," said Clerk Sollami Covello. "Because military papers can get damaged or lost, veterans should take advantage of the opportunity to file copies of their DD-214 discharge papers with the Clerk's Office," said Sollami Covello, whose office maintains and preserves official documents and records for Mercer County. "If a copy of their discharge papers are needed in the future, a veteran, an immediate family member or a legally recognized representative of their estate may obtain one with proper identification," noted Sollami Covello.
A Certificate of Release - Discharge from Active Duty, or DD 214 Form for short, is generally issued when a service member is honorably discharged from active military duty. The document contains information normally needed to verify military service for benefits, retirement, employment, and membership in veterans' organizations.
Veterans can receive their reduced price photo ID card by visiting the Mercer County Clerk's Office located in the Old Courthouse at 209 South Broad Street in Trenton. The Clerk's Office is open from Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Wednesdays until 6:30pm.
For further information on how to obtain a Mercer County photo identification card, call 609-989-6473.
