The 2002 budget totals $6,713,748 and the municipal tax rate will continue at the current rate of 42 cents per $100 of assessed value or $420 per $100,000 of value.
The committee introduced the budget at a meeting on Monday, March 11.
Mayor Kathryn Porter said this year's budget will be the fifth consecutive municipal budget with a level tax rate.
The 2002 budget contains funding for a number of new and ongoing initiatives aimed at enhancing services to residents. The initiatives include the overlay of 11 township roads, a new support truck for the Brookside Fire Engine Company, continued funding of the township fire cistern program, a new loader for the public works department, and the preparation of master plans for Meadowood Park and the recently acquired Seeing Eye property, said officials.
The budget also provides funding for a drainage project on East Main Street to alleviate a flooding problem in the area.
"The township has a number of important infrastructure needs and service commitments that need to be met in the coming year," said Porter. "This budget addresses these competing priorities in a fiscally conservative manner that limits the tax burden on residents and ensures the long range financial stability of the community."
Under state law, all municipal budgets must be approved by the state Department of Community Affairs. Subject to the approval, the committee has scheduled a public hearing on the 2002 budget for 7:30 p.m., Monday, April 8 at the municipal building off Cherry Lane.

Spirits in the Sky: Nicola Henry
Coth Inc. A Thin Line...
Cloth Inc. A Thin Line
East Gippsland Art Gallery is proud to present A Thin Line, on show from 2nd February until 4th March. Featuring the works of four artists Melanie Hill, Deb McArdle, Glenys Mann and Nonie Sutcliffe. Collectively known as Cloth Inc, these four women work with fabric and stitch.
Although having known each other for around 15 years through workshops and forums, it wasn't until 2015 whilst travelling in a car to a fibre textile show in Wangaratta that they decided to form an exhibition group called Cloth Inc.
Glenys Mann, is described affectionately by fellow exhibitor Nonie Sutcliffe as 'the glue that binds Cloth Inc. together'. She is regarded as a pioneer of fibre art in Australia and founded Fibre Arts Australia which she has run for 25 years. Running several textile conferences a year in Ballarat and Sale, bringing international artists to the Australian fibre art community.
Although all women are geographically distanced from one another (Melbourne, Callignee, and Ballarat) the bond between them is unique and strong. They hold regular get-togethers which they call gatherings, and when together they always stitch. Nonie Sutcliffe sits and works on her 4 metre long 'Listening Cloth'. She enjoys the conversation, the repetitive nature of stitch and the use of line in her work. All four women have a passion for textiles, particularly the use of pre-loved fabric. Deb McArdle uses antique lace and vintage damask table cloths as a canvas for her meditative stitch. Melanie Hill embroiders vintage Sanderson fabric and re-purposes antique furniture into works of art. And Glenys Mann uses Boro cloth, old Japanese fabric that has been mended and re-mended.
Glenys Mann explains that all four women 'have a need to make'. The artists don't sit at sewing machines, instead choosing to hand stitch. Embracing the fabric, the needle and the thread. They call it Lap Work and Glenys describes this process as 'meditative'. 'It is the softest and most giving technique any artist could want. It brings you into yourself. It's like an Opera'.
Glenys, Nonie, Melanie and Deb have an enthusiasm and love for their work that is profound. Artist's who will never tire of the medium they work in. This is an exhibition not to be missed.
A Thin Line runs from 2 February until 4 March with the opening reception on Saturday 4th 12pm – 2pm at the East Gippsland Art Gallery, Bairnsdale. All are welcome and entry is free

Time for a blog.....or is it a Magazine?
Seems that when Nonie and I get together the juices flow as to what else we can bring to the Fibre Arts arena.
A Blog!!!
Well not just any kind of blog but a type of "magazine"!
These blogs will tell the stories of the fibre/textile artists that are a part of our Fibre Arts world or simply stories about what exhibitions will be coming up.
So...in the coming year there will be random stories and events coming your way from the Fibre Arts Blog...well let's call it a 'magazine', shall we?

Wawa Reviewing Advertising Agencies
Pennsylvania chain spent $7 million on ads in 2002.
LOS ANGELES -- Wawa Inc. has named eight semifinalists in the review for its advertising account, according to Select Resources International, which is leading the search, Adweek reported.
Agencies that have advanced are Havas' McKinney + Silver in Raleigh, N.C.; and independent shops Adworks in Washington, D.C.; Blattner Brunner and MARC, both in Pittsburgh; Eisner Communications in Baltimore; Gardner Nelson & Partners in New York; Gyro in Philadelphia; and The Richards Group in Dallas and New York, the consultant said.
The creative incumbent, Ritter Inc. in King of Prussia, Pa., is not participating in the review. While the Wawa, Pa.-based client is also looking at media capabilities of contending agencies, it may decide to continue working with the current media agency, MayoSeitz Media in Blue Bell, Pa., or launch a separate media review, according to Russel Wohlwerth, principal of SRI in West Hollywood, Calif., Adweek reported.
Billings are undisclosed. The chain based in Wawa, Pa., spent nearly $7 million on ads in 2002 and more than $3 million through August of this year, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
Wawa has 540 Wawa Food Markets throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Approximately 140 of those stores also sell Wawa-branded gasoline.

BOSTON ( MainStreet) Having women on its board is a good way for a business to safeguard itself against financial losses and takeovers. At least, that's the conclusion of a study by the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business.
The study found that the more women there are on a corporate board, the less that corporation pays for each acquisition an average of 15.4% with each female director added. Each additional female board member also reduces the number of that company's attempted takeover bids by 7.6%.
"Female board members play a significant role in mitigating the empire-building tendency of CEOs through the acquisition of other companies." said Sauder finance professor and co-author of the study Kai Li in a press release. "On average, merger and acquisition transactions don't create shareholder value, so women are having a real impact in protecting shareholder investment and overall firm performance."
According to the researchers, the results suggest women are more cautious about and therefore less likely to pursue risky transactions; they need to be guaranteed a higher return on investment before they will partake in a deal.
"Our findings show that the prudence exhibited by women directors in negotiating mergers and acquisitions has had a substantial positive effect on maintaining firm value," Li said in the press release. "This finding adds fire and force to recent calls to mandate a minimum number of women on the boards of publicly traded companies."
The study's findings, in the upcoming Journal of Corporate Finance, were the result of an analysis of a large sample of acquisition bids made by S&P 1500 companies in the United States between 1997 and 2009. To determine the cost of the acquisitions, researchers examined the difference between the final price offered for the company and the stock price of the targeted firm before the deal was signed otherwise known as the "bid premium." The bid premium was correlated to the number of women directors on the various boards.
The Sauder study adds to an already ripe discussion on the need for more women board members.
The Washington D.C.-based Committee for Economic Development released its own report last year criticizing the stagnation of female representation in U.S. boardrooms. The report lamented that women make up only between 11% to 12% of corporate board members the same as a decade ago.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 20, 2011 -- In the smarter and modern world, everyone wants to maintain their physique. The fatty and overweight people are always worried for their weight. They use weight loss pills for reducing extra weight. Everyone has different body structure and components. Consequently, where these pills show positive results, on the other side, it has bad effects too. Apart from this, most of the health advisors or physicians advised for regular exercises, jogging, running and walking. This helps in reducing the extra weight through sweat. But it is impossible to take out enough time from the daily routine. Here are some weight loss tips [http://www.newdietpills.net] which can be followed by anyone easily. These are:-
* Make a habit to chew the food properly. Most of the people shovel meal into their mouths and swallow it only half chewed. Even they do not notice what they are eating and often not even savouring the taste. If you have same habit then it is advised to get it changed because it is not good for the health.
o Keep your mouth busy always. Whenever you feel your mouth is empty, take a sip of water or exchange the words if you are working in a company.
o Drink plentiful water in a day. It is the best way for reducing weight. This helps to reduce some extra calories through sweat and urine.
o Always eat food from your plate. Never eat from a container or a box. Like this, you eat a more than you should. So, keep away the box and pace the food in a small box. Avoid TV while eating and concentrate on your meal.
o Avoid over-eating. Don't eat the full food from your plate. Forget the 'clean your plate' message which was followed by the previous generations. They were in favor of this because they went through hardships and food shortages.
o Never skip breakfast. It is very important for the over all growth of the body. Many people think by stopping breakfast they can reduce extra weight. But it is a myth.
o Avoid taking junk foods because it is not good for the body as well as the brain.
o Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in daily diet. Eat only plenty of whole grains, only whole meal bread, beans, etc. In a week, try to eat oily fish twice or thrice times only. Keep away yourself from red meat, fizzy drinks and alcohol.
o Apart from this, make exercise as a part of your daily life. Always do one hour of heart pumping exercise. More sweat will give you good health. This process will help to burn lots of calories.
Shortly, by following these above written weight loss tips, one can easily reduce over weight.

A lot of development on tonight's episode of Lost, with the pilot being Jack-centric, it really surprised me that there was already another episode focused on him only five episodes, but surely, I am glad that they did have an episode like this one.
We know why he was traveling from Sydney, and also, I noticed an ongoing theme that keeps on coming back from time to time: "Everything happens for a reason." The drowning at the beginning was chilling, even more chilling, since the lady wasn't even meant to be on that flight.
Anyways we discover a lot of things about Jack and his father and I loved the comparison with the white rabbit from Alice and Wonderland, very clever, I liked it. The group going against each other for water was also entertaining. This show has not made an error yet, I'll tell you that much.

Like many people, it's probable that you often get into arguments with some of your friends about which of you is the biggest The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess fanboy. Well if you're looking for a way to end that debate before it can even really start to gather some steam, head on over to Zelda Informer and download the entire soundtrack for the very reasonable price of nothing. Yep, you read that right. Absolutely free. Imagine the possibilities. While your geeky friend Cory is blabbering on about how Epona was named for the Celtic goddess of horses, you can simply press play on your iPhone and let the haunting piping of Kakariko Cemetary speak for itself. Debate over.
As Zelda Informer is quick to point out, this isn't the official soundtrack, but all of the music ripped directly from the game. That's 183 tracks of pure listening pleasure that even Hylian ears couldn't resist. The tunes range from zanily upbeat to rousingly inspirational to ominously spooky, and listening to them as a standalone experience really accentuates just how varied Twilight Princess really was. And while you can easily download the entire package, you can also pick and choose the individual tracks that you'd like to add to your collection. Let's face it, Hologram Zant isn't for everyone.
Of course, the smooth orchestral tones of Twilight Princess aren't nearly as cool as the twangy guitar riffing from Wind Waker but it's still better than 99.9% of the schlock that passes for game soundtracks. And remember how it's free? So hurry up and download it already.
Enjoy it now, because in not too long we'll have the pleasure of an entirely new Zelda soundtrack. We can all count on Skyward Sword to deliver, at least when it comes to the music.
Do you have a favorite Zelda tune? Which one and from which game?

A few weeks ago when I launched my Facebook page I asked you to share with me and the world something nice you did for somebody else that week.
A few of the public responses (as well as some private e-mails) were along the lines of "Good deeds don't count if you tell people."
That is crazy to me and I don't know who started that rumor. Whoever it is I'd like to give them a talking to. ;)
I think I understand where it might be coming from. If you tell someone you did something nice for someone else it might come across as bragging. Or maybe it will come across like you only did it to tell people what a great person you are. Like maybe your motivations weren't genuine.
To which is say: who cares?
Tell people what a wonderful person you are.
If they have a problem with that then guess what? It's their problem.
And as far as being genuine: if more people were nice, even if they didn't feel genuine about it, we'd live in a much happier place. Although I definitely appreciate honesty, I'd much rather someone be nice to me even if they'd rather not be. What about you?
Maybe you get pissed off at someone who cuts in line at the coffee shop. Instead of getting pissed off, you let it go. It's on them. Maybe you get cut off by a crazy driver on the road. Instead of getting pissed off, you let it be. Maybe you even let some people in front of you even though you're angry and running late. Not genuine, but it would be a nice thing to do. Maybe when the person in front of you at the grocery store is struggling to find the change you toss them a dollar. Maybe you'll feel good about it, maybe you won't. But being nice shouldn't be kept quiet.
I guess I could quietly give to third world entrepreneurs through Kiva. But maybe, just maybe, by telling you I made a loan it will inspire you to make a loan as well. Which is the reason I set up the RidiculouslyExtraordinary.com Kiva Lending Team. Sure it's only 15 members strong as of this writing, but 15 members can do a lot more than I can do on my own. So I tell people about it and I link to it. Maybe some people will think I do it to brag. That's OK. I am bragging. In sum, we have loaned over $11,000 to Third World entrepreneurs this year! That is phenomenal and it is something to brag about. Thank you for that. :)
Scream Your Good Deeds From The Rooftops
What I'm trying to say is, don't feel like you can't share your good deeds. If you helped someone, if you've done something nice, you don't have to keep it quiet. It still counts. Maybe it doesn't count with everybody. But it counts with me. So you've got at least one person on your side. Any maybe, just maybe, out of all the people you might (but probably won't) annoy, you'll inspire someone to do an extra good deed.
So who are you going to inspire today?

***I love this country! Feel free to visit!
A visit sounds ok, but can I come and live there?
We here in AU have close to no rights. Its the worlds biggest jail. Id like to
leave, buy myself an island somewhere thats big enough for two trees and a
hammock, and never go back. In fact, by typing this post, I have probably
broken an AU law.
Its surprisingly hard to convince camping minded people that hammock
camping is better. Their loss I suppose. Its nice to know that you are
getting a better nights sleep than any tent camper.
I hope you have a great time building your own stuff! Lots of how-to info here.

Death sentence discussed for Kent Davidson
CHAMBERLAIN -- Prosecutors will decide within a week whether to seek the death penalty for a man accused of killing a Mitchell woman in March.
Assistant Attorney General Bob Mayer, who participated Tuesday in a hearing at the Brule County Courthouse in Chamberlain, is involved in the decision regarding the sentence sought for Kent Davidson.
"We have not made a decision," Mayer said, "but we would not need a lot of time to make it."
After a brief discussion, Judge Bruce Anderson gave Mayer until early next week to make a decision. Brule County State's Attorney David Natvig is prosecuting the case with Mayer but did not appear at Tuesday's hearing.
Davidson, 36, is accused of fatally shooting 26-year-old Crystal Schulz in the head with a shotgun on March 11. Schulz's body was found March 14 in a shed at her mother's residence in rural Chamberlain. Davidson and Schulz were engaged to be married, according to their Facebook pages.
Davidson appeared in court Tuesday wearing an orange jail uniform, accompanied by his court-appointed attorney Clint Sargent, of Sioux Falls. He pleaded not guilty last month to first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and committing a felony while armed with a firearm.
Judge Anderson set Davidson's trial for January.
First-degree murder has a minimum punishment of life in prison with the option of a death sentence, which is a lethal injection. Prosecutors have also accused Davidson of being a habitual offender because of five prior felony convictions on his record.
Davidson has already been sentenced to five years in prison, which was reimposed by the South Dakota Board of Pardons and Paroles for his failure to return to a minimum-security facility where he was living while on parole last year. It was after he absconded from parole that, according to his Facebook page and Schulz's, the two became engaged.
Mayer and Sargent also debated Tuesday how to proceed if the defense hires an expert witness on its behalf.
Sargent argued the defense should not have to give notice to the state of all potential expert witnesses, but just the witnesses the defense is sure will be used at trial. The state could gain an unfair advantage, Sargent claimed, if it is notified about an expert witness the defense decides not to have testify.
Mayer objected and argued the state should be notified of all the defense's potential expert witnesses.
Judge Anderson did not rule on the issue at Tuesday's hearing but said he will issue a ruling in the near future.

Banks ration cash, ATMs still dry on pay day
Latest News »
New Delhi: Faced with currency shortage and long queues, banks on Thursday resorted to rationing of cash at many branches countrywide but met with limited success to handle the huge pay-day rush, while ATMs continued to remain mostly dry, causing hardship to people seeking to withdraw money.
People in several parts of Tamil Nadu even braved heavy rains to get money for their household expenses, while long queues started building up in wee hours before ATMs and bank branches for withdrawal of start-of-the-month expenses on the first post-demonetisation pay day across several other states including Kerala, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana.
Having got much less than their regular requirement from the currency chests, many branches ran out of cash in post- lunch hours, even as people complained about being given money even below the permitted withdrawal limits at branches.
Long queue were visible at many places for withdrawal as a large number of ATMs are still not functional. Even the functional ATMs at many places could dispense only Rs2,000 notes, leaving the customers without lower denomination notes. Frustration and anger were also visible at many places in semi-urban and rural areas where banks and ATMs soon ran dry.
Metro cities too had similar scenes at many places with patience turning into anger against bank employees for their failure to provide currency other than Rs2,000 notes. Bankers said on their part that the situation is expected to continue for another 6-7 days because of withdrawal rush from salaried and pensioners.
Despite claims by various banks that adequate arrangement would be in place to handle the pay-day rush, branches were seen not only rationing the cash, many of them also refused to entertain the non-home branch customers. A senior public sector bank official said the branches are compelled to resort to rationing because of cash shortage and it is difficult to meet the withdrawal limit of Rs24,000 per person set by the Reserve Bank. Some banks were seen disbursing only Rs5,000 per person while those having better cash availability offered Rs10,000 or Rs12,000 per customer.

Making things worse, a large number of ATMs remained dry even 24 days after the government scrapped Rs500 and Rs1,000 notes earlier this month to crack down on black money. Banks and state treasuries in Kerala witnessed heavy rush since morning, while the state's finance minister Thomas Issac said 42 treasuries in rural areas did not receive any cash at least till 11.30am.
On Wednesday, a top government official had said special efforts were being made to pump in exta cash into banks to meet the heavy demand for currency notes on account of salary withdrawals but situation on the ground remained a far cry. "As such, none of our branches are short of cash. We have ensured that enough cash is available at our branches in anticipation of higher demand after disbursement of salaries and pension in accordance with the customers demand," Canara Bank MD and CEO Rakesh Sharma said

The Twin Brothers (A retelling of the "The Twin Brothers" by Joseph Jacobs ). Long ago, the Yoruba people cherished the Olofin , Ajaka , their king, who adored his favorite wife, who was due to have his child, the rightful heir to his domain. .

Long ago, the Yoruba people cherished the Olofin, Ajaka, their king, who adored his favorite wife, who was due to have his child, the rightful heir to his domain.
Horrified, however, his wife gave birth to twin brothers. Twins were absolutely forbidden as a curse and were to be killed along with their mothers.
His heart twisted in his chest; he needed a solution. Twins were absolutely forbidden as a curse and were to be killed along with their mothers.
Incapable of ending the lives of his own family, Ajaka ordered a noble to save his family and concealed his sons and their mother secretly onto an island secluded the kingdom.
Inseparable , and only sated by each other's company, the brothers grew into manhood, strong and proud.
Few who talked to them regaled how they could finish each others thoughts and sentences.
Some even considered them two of the same soul.
She called them onto her deathbed, revealing the truth: the brothers were the rightful heirs to the throne.
Their mother, however, was aged beyond her years; her purpose to inoculate the heirs of the empire was fulfilled. Her death was nigh.
The brothers lamented of the injustice of their exile. brothers were the rightful heirs to the throne.
"There's no reason we shouldn't be able to rule together!"
Within days, they planned to return to their homeland after over a decade, reclaiming their birthright as the heirs to the throne.
News arrived, however. The king had died without an heir to disposing the brothers to quarrel over who would arrive in the capital to reclaim the throne.
"We'll throw stones," said the eldest brother. "It will be settled who will go with the furthest stone cast."
The winner would then call his brother to share in their lavish lifestyle. The other brother agreed.
The eldest picked up a heavy rock haphazardly and flung it, though it did not travel as far as he imagined.
Carefully, on the other hand, the youngest selected the smoothest rock from a nearby river, whose rough stream had polished smooth and white.
With all his might, he threw into the air and landed it beyond their sight.
The younger twin had won.
Dressing in his best clothes, readying the boat with his brother, and having been wished the best luck, the youngest left for the capital, reclaimed the throne as Olofi, and quickly fletched for his older brother.
Though indulged with the finest silks, foods, wives and expenditures, the eldest twin, however, was deeply dissatisfied.
He was convinced his own brother had cheated in front of his own eyes. He seethed enviously as his brother attracted the entire kingdom.
On a full moon, when the tides were the highest, the brother made a bitter scheme. Walking aside his brother, who had been preoccupied recalling that day's events, the eldest brother pushed him into the river, drowning him.
Feinting worry, the brother told the palace that his brother had been acting abnormally and that he felt unfit to rule the kingdom and left the country in shame.
He even fabricated a lengthy letter to the citizens, ensuring that he would be the best fit for the kingdom.
Days went by, and during a fishing trip. The brother encountered no fish, yet had heard a low humming in the water.
Searching, a fish sprang out of the water.
"Your encountered no fish, yet had heard a low humming in the water.brother lies here,Your brother lies here."
Tormented by the echoing chant, the brother killed the fish with a sharp stone.
Astonished and weary, the courtiers stopped and listened. Soon, the king's body was found.
Attended by several noblemen on the shores, however, the river itself swayed as though it were a storm.
"Your brother lies here, Your brother lies here. "
Exposed to his deception and ostracized to the horror of his people, the king threw himself into the river: the same place he had to his brother.
Monkoto people, the king threw himself into the river: the same place he had to his brother. by Kevin MacLeod

They have some what tested the lion and tiger fight.
The only reason why a tiger has issues killing a male lion. Is due to it's mane. It's the only thing keeping it safe and winning. If it didn't have the mane then the tiger would kill the lion really fast and quickly. So basically this question is kind of like asking. Who would win in a fight? A ninja or a samurai?
Lol I have to keep explaining this. First of all, if the animals are in an encloses space, the lion is more likely to win because the tiger relies on its SPEED.
Not to mention that is a BENGAL tiger and I'm talking about a SIBERIAN tiger. Much larger.
- Show AllShow Less
This has made me happier if the Siberian tiger can do it. ^^
Actually the bengal isn't that much smaller. The Bengal would probably win against the lion tbh.
Most Helpful Guy
I think I read a story once about a captured Grizzly and a captured male lion getting into a fight by mistake. The Grizzly killed the lion by swiping the lion in the face with it's claws, they cut right through the lions skull or something. The bear had such thick fur and fat the lion didn't do much damage to the bear.
I tried but can't find the article anymore so I might be remembering incorrectly, I only skimmed it the first time through.
Lol I just added the lion to throw you off. Of course the lion would lose.
Really, the tiger and the bear are about equal. Both are equally strong but bears take more hits and tigers are faster.

And has sparked MANY debates
LOL ya! it's awesome.

Mitchell City Council moves to pay for Longhorn repairs; OKs EZ$ beer license
The futures of a pair of Mitchell bars, one closed by a wall collapse, the other seeking permission to remain open, were under discussion Monday night by the Mitchell City Council at City Hall.
The council took the first steps to spend about $60,000 to pay for repairs to the old Longhorn Bar at 101 N. Main St., which has been closed for almost six months after a wall slumped and part of a ceiling collapsed. Jason Bates, the owner of the building, would be required to pay the money back, either through a tax assessment or through a civil suit, the council decided.
Before the council meeting, the Public Health & Safety Committee discussed tearing down the building or finding another solution for the decaying structure at the corner of First Avenue and North Main Street. The council later voted to declare the building a public nuisance to allow city government to have control of the building's future.
The city has been asking Bates to remove or repair the building but despite an extension of time, he has not submitted a plan to deal with the building, which was erected in 1879 and is reportedly the oldest building in Mitchell.
The previous owner, Charlie Bates, Jason Bates' father, reported the collapse Nov. 15 and McGannon then inspected the building. He said the city sent a letter Nov. 23, saying a bowed wall indicated the building should be not be occupied.
McGannon sent a second letter March 7, after seeing that small pieces were falling off the building onto city sidewalk. He asked for an action plan within 30 days.
On April 10, Jason Bates spoke to McGannon and Mayor Lou Sebert and was given an extension until May 15 to come up with an answer. No such plan was submitted.
The third letter from the city was sent May 23, notifying Bates the city was ready to declare the building a public nuisance and tear it down.
He came before the committee Monday night and said he needed help.
"I've exhausted every avenue I have. I can't get a loan without insurance ... I don't know what to do," Bates said. "I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place."
He is suing his former insurance carrier, he said, and his lawyer feels confident about his chance for success. When Jason Bates bought the business from his father, the insurance lapsed.
Bates said it would cost about $40,000 to tear the building down and about $56,000 to repair it. He can't get the loan without insurance and no insurance company wants to cover the building.
Right now, there is no insurance covering the building, Bates said when asked by Councilman Dan Allen what would happen if someone was struck by a falling object.
"That's a hazard right there," Allen said.
Bates said he's been told new walls could be erected to support the building and allow the removal of the crumbling wall. He said if the city helped him, he would not walk away from the bill.
"Whatever the city decides, however long it takes, you will get your money back," Bates said.
He said he has sought assistance from a downtown building assistance program supervised by Mitchell Main Street & Beyond but said that won't work, nor will any historic association assist him.
"I'm stuck," Bates said repeatedly. "I don't know what to do."
But he said tearing the building down could damage the VFW building that may share a wall with the old Longhorn building.
Pat Ziegler, commander of the adjacent VFW, said he wants to make sure the post building is not damaged during the process. That would bankrupt the VFW, he said.
"I haven't seen any evidence it's not a common wall," Ziegler said. "I think at least part of it is common, probably most of it. I have to be on the record protecting the VFW."
The VFW had considering buying the old bar building, tearing it down and erecting a park there, but efforts to secure a grant to do so fell through, according to Bates.
Some of the councilmen expressed irritation that the bar issue is still lingering.
"We can make little old ladies mow their lawns and fix their homes," Councilman Mel Olson said to Bates. "How come we can't make you fix the Longhorn?"
Council President Jeff Smith, who is not a member of the committee, said he was reluctant to help pay for such a project and become "the bank of Mitchell," but he also realized it's a unique situation.
"If there is a way of doing it, I would support it," Smith said. "I would like to save a historical building."
City Attorney Randy Stiles was asked to compose an agreement between the city and Bates to allow the process to move ahead.
"Fix it, assess it, get a guarantee," McGannon said.
The business known as Longhorn Bar is now located across Main Street as part of a combined business with Big Dummy's, which is also owned by Bates.
The council quickly approved a malt beverage license renewal request from EZ$ bar and casino, which is physically linked to Thirsty's at 1801 N. Main St. in the Palace Mall. Both bars are managed by Thomas Somerville.
Three Thirsty's/EZ$ employees have been arrested for assaulting customers in the past eight months, including Somerville. Charged were dropped against one bartender while Somerville pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and another employee, William Watkins, was convicted of assaulting and seriously injuring a customer and was sentenced to 13 years in prison, with five years suspended.
On May 21, the City Council approved all applications for malt beverage licenses except EZ$ and said it wanted to hear what was being done to reduce the trouble, which some council members said was giving Mitchell a bad name. However, Somerville did not appear at Monday's meeting.
Mitchell Public Safety Chief Lyndon Overweg said improvements have been made and the bar's management has assured him the problems will cease.
"I have visited with them and they have made some changes," Overweg said.
The council approved the license after Smith made an immediate motion to approve it as it was being read, saying he had spoken privately with Overweg, who had spoken privately with the bar's management.
After the meeting, Smith said he didn't see a need for a public discussion on the license renewal. He said if Overweg was satisfied with the bar's practices, he was, too.
The Thirsty's liquor license will come before the council at the end of the year.
Runoff elections discussed
The council held a discussion on adding runoffs to city elections.
Councilmen Greg McCurry and Olson had sought to have an item on the runoff placed on the agenda, but it wasn't added to it. But McCurry brought it up during the public input section of the agenda.
"I do favor runoffs or secondary elections," he said. "I would favor following the state law on it."
McCurry said he would like to see the winner required to receive at least 50 percent plus one vote.
Olson said it was important to hold the discussion before today's election, which includes six candidates for mayor. Even if someone has a strong showing, that candidate might get only 30 percent of the vote, he said.
"I think it's good to have the discussion now," Olson said.
That way, he said, it would not be perceived as an attack on whomever wins the race.
Carpenter said he was elected to his first term in a three-way race with about 43 percent of the vote.
"I would have hated to have turned around the next day and do it all over," he said. "I think I had a wide enough margin and to do it again a few weeks later would have been torture."
Olson agreed with that, noting he once won a council term with 49.88 percent, just a few votes short of a majority.
Carpenter said it's difficult to get people to run for office now, and adding another level may scare prospective candidates away. Smith said perhaps only the mayoral race could include a runoff portion.
"That is the CEO of our city," he said. "That's why I think we have to take a good look at it."
Stiles said he would have to look into it.
The council decided to place the issue on the agenda for July 16 to allow the new council to discuss it.
Other business
The council also:
* Approved Resolution 2998, the purchase of water service for BankWest from Davison Rural Water System Inc.
The city will buy an existing water line to the new bank building at a cost of about $7,100, according to McGannon, since the property is now in the city limits. Sebert said it's a matter of precedent, since he feels the city should provide water service to anyone in the city.
BankWest, which will pay about $200 a year in water bills, did not seek this, McGannon said. He said it was a policy decision made by "my boss," Mayor Sebert, so he didn't want to offer an opinion.
Olson said allowing some businesses or residents to be on rural water could create a "hodge-podge" of various utilities, and Tracy agreed.
Allen voted no, calling it a "bad business decision," and McCurry agreed with him. Olson said he views it as "an investment in the future." Carpenter said when the city annexed the land, it made a commitment to provide water service.
It passed 5-3, with Allen, McCurry and Councilman Marty Barington voting against it.
* Heard reports from the Public Health & Safety and Finance committees, which met before the council.
The Public Safety Committee approved fireworks permits for the Heart and Sole Cancer Walk and the Exchange Club for its July 4 show.
The council approved Resolution 2999, a contingency transfer for a trailer for the city band. The Finance Committee had recommended approval of buying the trailer and related items for $3,709.
City Band Director Joe Pekas said there was a "dire need" for the trailer to replace one that was damaged by the spring hailstorm and was no longer available.
* Approved Resolution 2997, the plat of D. Nemec Tract A in the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter and the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 36, T 104 N, R 61 W of the Fifth Prime Meridian in Davison County.
The property is outside the city limits but within the three-mile radius and the council must give approval.
* Held the second reading of and approved Ordinance 2405, a supplemental appropriation of $33,000 for the Sanborn concrete joint repair project.
* Approved a pavement maintenance entitlement transfer for the Mitchell Regional Airport with the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
* Approved a statement of extension to the Joint Cooperative Agreement with Planning & Development District III for 2013 in the amount of $11,248.
* Approved the application and merchant processing agreement for Power Pay to provide credit card services to the landfill.
* Approved paying estimates.
* Sat as the Board of Adjustment to:
Set a June 18 date for hearing on the application of Joe Schlimgen for a variance for a side yard setback of 1 feet rather than the required 3 feet at 308 W. Fifth Ave. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.
Approve the application of Dennis and Janelle Ven Osdel for a variance for a side yard setback of 1 foot, 6 inches instead of the required 3 feet at 1116 E. Fourth Ave.
Approve the application of Mayor Lou Sebert and James Sebert for a variance to construct an accessory building with a height variance of 25 feet instead of the mandated 17 feet, and a size variance of 3,200 square feet instead of the mandated 1,050 square feet, at a site legally described as Sebert Tract 1, a subdivision of Lot A, the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 23, T 103 N, R 60 W of the fifth prime meridian in Davison County.
Approve the application of James and Kim Sebert for a variance for a back yard setback of 10 feet instead of the required 30 feet at 507 Charles St.
Approve the application of Lou and Carol Sebert for a variance for a back yard setback of 8 feet instead of the standard 30 feet, at 513 Charles St.
The Seberts plan to build two adjacent homes and a storage shed. Mayor Sebert read the information for the requests for the project for himself and his wife and his son and daughter-in-law, but did not cast a vote, since he only does so in case of a tie.
* Voted to cancel its special meeting on Monday, June 11, since three councilmen will not be present. The agenda items may be discussed before or during the June 18 regular meeting.
* Set a special meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 12, to canvass Tuesday's election returns and discuss the future of the old Longhorn Bar.
n Tabled a proposal to set a Sept. 11 date for the city of Mitchell surplus auction.
"I just don't think we should have it on September 11th," Olson said.
A new date will be discussed in two weeks.
* Acknowledged the volunteer listing on file.
* Approved a request from Mitchell Main Street & Beyond to conduct a raffle with the drawing to be held on Aug. 26.

Pompey in Diawara talks
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Portsmouth are in talks with Sochaux about a possible deal for Souleymane Diawara.
Portsmouth are in talks with Sochaux about a possible deal for Souleymane Diawara.
Pompey have held a long-term interest in Diawara and tried to sign him in last January's transfer window.
Sochaux are thought to be willing to sell the towering central defender for the right price and Portsmouth are now trying to thrash out a deal for the player.
Diawara is keen on a move to England and the player's agent Roger Boli has revealed both clubs are in discussions about a deal.
"My business partner Willie McKay and I have been in contact with Portsmouth and Portsmouth have been in contact with Sochaux," Boli told skysports.com.
"Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie and Sochaux chairman Jean-Claude Plessis had a meeting in Paris at the beginning of the week and a fee is being negotiated.
"Diawara has spoken to Harry Redknapp and he knows they are trying to build a big team there."
Pompey's Premiership rivals Bolton Wanderers and Middlesbrough have also been linked with a move for Diawara.

Schenectady film studio plan in doubt after Cuomo veto
Local lawmakers are upset at Gov. Andrew Cuomo's veto of a bill that would have expanded the state's film tax credit program to the Capital Region and Hudson Valley.
The expansion was sure to benefit one California company looking to build a film studio along the Mohawk River in Schenectady, but as of Thursday evening, it was unclear how the governor's Wednesday night veto would affect those plans.
"Film companies are currently considering putting down roots in our region, but they will not do so if other upstate communities have an advantage," said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, who co-sponsored the bill. "My legislation would have provided Albany and Schenectady counties with an even playing field when it comes to attracting film companies and the jobs that come along with them to our communities."
The bill was introduced in May to expand a lucrative portion of the Empire State Film Production Tax Credit to production companies willing to film in Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady and 11 other counties that aren't currently eligible to receive it. It passed in the Assembly and Senate in June and made it to the governor's desk earlier this month.
On Wednesday night, he vetoed the bill, saying that while he's been a champion of film production throughout the state, the tax credit program was designed to attract filmmakers to areas where production has historically lagged. In a veto memo, he stated that the Hudson Valley and Capital Region already have "an established and robust film production industry by virtue of their proximity to New York City."
Even so, lawmakers are worried the veto could give Santa Monica, Calif.-based Pacifica Ventures second thoughts about its proposal to build a $68.9 million television and film studio on the former site of the American Locomotive Company factory in Schenectady. The studio would go up on 10 acres of the site, which is bordered by the Mohawk River and Erie Boulevard. About 1,000 new jobs would be created, with anywhere from 200 to 500 of them full-time positions.
Pacifica Ventures CEO Dana Arnold did not return a call for comment Thursday, but he spoke to The Daily Gazette in September after his plans for the studio were announced. He made it clear at the time his company builds only in states where these tax incentives are offered, because although the incentives don't help with construction costs, they lure film productions to the area.
"It's the only reason we're here," he told The Gazette. "It's the only reason. Because without it, without the state supporting production and film, the production and film industry would go somewhere else and there would be no reason for us to have a studio."
The company is currently waiting to hear on a $15 million state grant request submitted in the current round of Gov. Cuomo's Regional Council initiative. Pacifica has made it publicly known that the funding is key to its locating in Schenectady.
Pacifica hired the Albany firm Brown & Weinraub to lobby for the tax credit expansion, but it's unclear whether the expansion holds as much significance to its coming here as the state funding does.
Nearby counties are eligible for the credit, but that's not enough, in Santabarbara's opinion.
"I wanted to put in this piece of legislation because it levels the playing field," he said Thursday. "It gives us the same advantages and opportunities to attract studios here as those other counties."
Santabarbara said he doesn't know why some counties were chosen and others excluded for the credit. Several films have shot on location in the Capital Region in recent years, including "Salt" in 2010 and "The Place Beyond the Pines" in 2012.
"There is a lot happening here," he said. "But this would have taken away any roadblocks studios have to wanting to film here. I'm hoping we can work together to make this happen next session. I will keep up the fight to bring this tax credit here."
State Sen. Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna, released a statement Thursday voicing his disappointment with the veto, as well. He said all parts of the state should be treated fairly and equally when it comes to the credit.
"We're talking about economically distressed areas that could really benefit from the jobs and economic activity that would be generated by film production," he said. "I hope this veto is only a temporary setback."
In his veto message, the governor said any expansion of the credit should be discussed as part of the 2014-15 budget.
