The Oak Grove Fire Department Chief was cited into court yesterday afternoon for allegedly driving around road restrictions at the scene of a wreck in Hopkinsville.
The citation from Hopkinsville Police says there was a wreck with injury at the Pennyrile Parkway-Pembroke Road interchange around 1:30pm and that nails had spilled out of one of the vehicles onto Pembroke Road.
HPD used a marked car with flashing blue lights to close the roadway off while cleanup was done and Sgt. Eric Pacheco writes that 51-year old Oak Grove Fire Chief Gregory Bequette of Clarksville drove around the police car and into the center median to continue toward southbound.
Sgt. Pacheco had the ECC tell Chief Bequette that he needed to speak to police and his response was to reportedly ask "why."
Chief Bequette was charged with failure to give the right of way to an emergency vehicle and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic. He will appear in Christian District Court April 26th at 9am.
The Clarksville Police Department responded to a wreck early this morning, near the Red River Bridge.
Police say around 7 a.m. 60-year old Jerry Swift was driving north in his pickup and just crossed the Red River Bridge when he blacked out, crossed the southbound lanes of Wilma Rudolph, went over a curb and crashed into a rock wall.
Following the wreck, 33-year old Billy Dinsmore, who was driving northbound on Wilma Rudolph in the left lane was attempting to slow down, when 55-year old Joel Thomas, who was entering the center left turn lane at Old Trenton Road crashed into the back of his Chevy.
Police say Thomas was distracted by the previous wreck and did not notice Dinsmore's vehicle slow down.
As a result of the wrecks, traffic flow was disrupted for about an hour and police cited Thomas for failure to use reasonable car.
A hearing has been set for Foss Maritime and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to present their cases concerning the collapse of Eggmers Ferry Bridge to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The hearing is scheduled for April 16th through April 22nd at Paducah City Hall and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Spokesman Keith Todd says they are looking forward to the hearing and the facts of the incident being determined.
No one has accepted responsibility for the incident on the night of January 26th, where a large cargo vessel, knocked out a 322 foot span on Eggners Ferry Bridge in Trigg County.
A Christian County Sheriff's Deputy responding to a wreck with injuries became involved in a separate wreck with injuries on North Main Street this morning.
The incident happened around 7:45 near the intersection with Talbert Drive, where 54-year old Freida Catlett of Hopkinsville was attempting to make a left turn into the parking lot of the Kangaroo Mart and turned into the path of an oncoming police cruiser driven by 33-year old Deputy Sean Head of Hopkinsville.
Hopkinsville Police say Deputy Head had his emergency lights and siren activated and was en route to a wreck with minor injuries at Lacy Elementary School.
The deputy was unable to avoid a wreck and struck the passenger side of Ms. Catlett's mini-van. Both drivers were taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center, with Deputy Head reporting a hip injury and Ms. Catlett chest injuries.
The wreck at Lacy Elementary School involved a school bus, though the minor injuries were reported by a person in the other vehicle.

David Halsey, who owns Grand Tour & Charter, will be able to build a facility for his tour buses in Montvale. The Bedford County Board of Supervisors approved his special use permit, Monday night, by a 6-0 vote. District 3 Supervisor Roger Cheek was absent. The planning commission voted 6-0 with 6th district planning commission member Derrick Noell absent.
When Bedford reverts to town status on July 1, town residents will pay both the county real estate tax of 50 cents per $100 of assessed value and a town real estate tax.
Bedford County is poised to take over the city of Bedford's Recreation Department, but at least one council member isn't ready to turn it completely over yet. During a budget work session held last Tuesday, Councilman C.G. Stanley suggested there be a transition period over several months or even a year, before the town totally gives up that service to the county.
Bedford will hold its first town council election in more than 40 years on Tuesday, May 7. This election will fill all seven seats in the newly elected governing body. Polls open, at the Bedford Central Library and the Welcome Center at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. according to City Registrar Randi Herrick. "This is a special election only for Council," Herrick stressed.
Robert Carson is the only person running for Town Council who is not currently a member of Bedford City Council. Carson threw his hat in the ring after learning that Mary Flood will not seek a seat on the new elected body.
Carson, who is 58, is a Bedford native and has been involved with Little Town Players (LTP) for nearly 20 years. He's been in a number of LTP's productions and had lead roles in Purlie and Amen Corner. Carson directed last year's production of Purlie.
Stacey Hailey is the new guy on Bedford City Council.
He won a contested election last fall and now he has to do it all over again in order to have a seat on Town Council, which takes over from City Council on July 1. This time there isn't a contested election, but Hailey is aiming to be among the top four vote getters who will receive four year terms.
Steve Rush is one of the Bedford City councilmen who won reelection last fall, then has had to turn around and do the whole process over again this spring in order to get a seat on Bedford Town Council. City Council will disappear when the city of Bedford becomes the town of Bedford on July 1.
C. G. Stanley has served on Bedford City Council since 2002. With Bedford's reversion to town status coming up on July 1, Stanley is seeking a seat on the new Town Council.
He's a Bedford native. "I've got some good memories of growing up here, good lasting memories," he said. Stanley described Bedford as a thriving community in his youth.
Skip Tharp is the longest serving member on Bedford City Council. He's held seat on that elected body since 1992. Now, he want's to serve on the new town council which will replace City Council on July 1 when Bedford reverts to town status.
Why does he want to be on Town Council? "To see us through the transition," Tharp replied.
Jim Vest grew up in the town of Bedford. Today Vest lives in the city of Bedford.
Now, he's running for Bedford Town Council. Vest is currently a Bedford City councilman. He previously served on City Council from 1982 to 1994, including a tour of duty as vice mayor. Vest said he left at that point because he believed in term limits at the time. He returned in 2006 and has served ever since. "It was suggested that I run again, so I did," Vest said.

Has anyone read Manhunt by James Swanson yet. I just got it, Our Book Discussion group at the Drum Barracks in Wilmington California read either/or both Blood on the Moon and American Brutus for discussion this month. That would be tonight. Can't wait to heat what everyone has to say. It does get heated sometimes. One of the members mentioned this book to me the other day. It was on sale at Boarder 30 per cent off so I went to get it. I hear they are making a movie and Harrison Ford is going to play Conger. I haven't started yet. Just have notice after Reading American Brutus with it's half a book of footnotes in tiny print that Manhunt has notes in the back but not footnotes. Not very many either. It is written by member of the advisory committee on the Lincoln Bicentenial Commission. Trying to decide if I am going to read this first or read something none CW like the other book I got at the same time Rising Tide The Mississippi Flood of 1927.

David I agree . There is a bookcase in my house that holds just the Civil War and Western history books . Some have been read the rest are to be read. Many I picked up on my travels around the West and the Civil War battlefields. I keep hoping I will get them all read. I belong to a Civil War book discussion group at the Drum Barracks here in Southern California. That gets at least one and maybe two read each month but it can also lead to another book suggested by a member that relates to the topic of the book we are reading. In the year and a half I have been a member of this group I have read some wonderful books. Had some grand discussions too. As Thomas Jefferson said in a letter to John Adams, "I cannot live without my books" |

Evening all. With the stacks of books here to be read, I think it is safe to assume that the movie will be out before I ever get to the book. Know here in NJ, the book is selling like hotcakes, and local Barnes and Noble is already out of copies. Hope all are well. Regards from the Garden State, Steve Basic |

David I would bet that most of us on this website have stacks of books to be read . I would think it comes with the territory!!!!! There use to be a cartoon series that ran in the Los Angeles Times about 25 years ago. It was a single panel labeled alway FEAR OF NOTHING TO READ. The cartoon I remember best was the soldier in a foxhole totally catatonic with everything going on all around him outside the hole. The title was always the same Fear of nothing to read. I use to cut them out and share them with my principal. He was and is a reader as am I . I have always had that fear of nothing to read. My car has a book bag in it with books and Civil War Magazines incase I get somewhere and have to wait. I always have something to read. Today it was an article on Robert Lowell. I never realized Billy Budd was based on an inccident in his career . |

Susan: Yeah, I was a little embarrassed last night when Craig Symonds came to our roundtable and I had him sign my biography of Pat Cleburne. He asked if I had read it yet and I had to say that unfortunately I had not. Then I saw that it was written in 1996 and I got it shortly after it came out. Had it ten years and haven't read it yet. Oh well, I have some I have had 40 years and haven't read. BTW Craig is a very good speaker, a nice man and has a lovely and gracious wife too. |

I was very impressed with "Manhunt," although I was somewhat confused by one statement that Mr. Swanson attributes to Edwin Stanton. Throughout the years I have always understood Stanton to say upon Lincoln's passing that "Now he belongs to the ages." Mr. Swanson has him saying "Now he belongs to the angels." Has anyone ever heard of this being the actual statement made when Lincoln died? |

Just joined thus the delay in reply. Have read American Brutus but not manhunt but feel the choice between the 2 is the full story of the assasination vs the events afterwards. Have heard rumors of Harrison Ford in the movie but what would really make it a blockbuster if the rumors of Johnny Depp playing Booth are true. |

Would definitely read rising tide before manhunt. Currently reading it for the second time. Great book especially with the recent emphasis on New Orleans over the last year. Not only concerning N.O. but the Mississippi delta region. Scary how New Orleans has to fear hurricanes but also the Miss. River. Doc C |

David Had to contact a fellow texan. I'm the first generation not to be born in Texas since the earyly 1800's. Grew up in north Louisiana. Dad, twin brother, brother in law, cousin went to A & M (corp). Grew up going to A & M games. Wanted to go to Sing Sing on the Brazos but my dad would'nt let me unless in the corp so went to Jerusalem on the Brazos (BU). Moved up here (eastern shore of MD) from Shreveport about 5 years ago. Really enjoy it, close to Va/Md/Pa battlefields. Retired about 2 years ago from the practice of med. (neonatology). Currently doing a great deal of geneology/civil war research (up to 50 ancestors who served in the cw). Hoping to take the gettysburg guide test in Dec 07 if they offer it. Also interested in cw medicine and a member of the C. W. Medicine Museum/Society in Frederick, Md (near Antietam). Just came across this discussion board. Have found some interesting and some comical replies. I'm not a "lost causer" by any means. Shelby Footes comments during a C-Span interview several years ago pretty much sums it up as to how I feel about the cw. The Civil War, there's a great compromise, as it's called. It consists of Southerners admitting freely that it's probably best that the Union wasn't divided, and the North admits rather freely that the South fought bravely for a cause in which it believed. That is a great compromise and we live with that and that works for us. We are now able to look at the war with some coolness, which we couldn't do before now, and, incidentally, I very much doubt whether a history such as mine could have been written much before 100 years had elapsed. It took all that time for things to cool down. Would like to hear from other individuals with similar interests in the cw. Thanks, Michael J. Cone, M.D. |

Doc C: Welcome aboard, I believe Shreveport has been unofficially annexed by Texas with the gambling and racetrack, so in my book you are a full fledged Texan. I'm familiar with Shreveport because I was stationed there for six years during my active duty days flying B-52s out of Barksdale. My dad was an Aggie, I was an Aggie and now my son is an Aggie. We were all in the Maroon (B-Battery) Band. In fact we got great news last week when my son was selected for the (Sul) Ross Volunteers (just hope he is not escorting Kinky in January). There used to be a pretty good medical museum in Pensacola (collection of a local doctor), I think he actually had more artifacts than the Frederick Museum has on display. But he had flooding from one of the 2004 hurricanies and I'm not too sure whether he ever reopened or not. Speaking of hurricanes and New Orleans, our roundtable speaker last month, Don Frazier, who is currently writing a book on Texas troops in Louisiana says Katrina wasn't Bush's fault it was N.P. Banks. Due to his numerous trips up the Red River he would always bring back slaves as contraband and the only land available to house them was the land below sea level that became the Fifth Ward. All the white folks already occupied all the "high ground" so there was nowhere else to put them. Basically these freed slaves were taken to the Fifth Ward and many never left.

David Congrats on your aggie trifecta. Brother was a bq and dad & brother in law were ct's. On a serious note do you have any info on Camp Ford in Tyler. Ancestor of mine (Pinkney Cone) was in the Chicago Merchantile Battery, captured during the Red River Camp. and transferred there for the remainder of the war. Thanks Doc C |

For websites see: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/CC/qcc15.html http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/ford/index.html (I know the first two are teasip sites but sometimes the blind pig finds an acorn) http://www.campford.org/ Eyewitness account (book on-line) http://www.48ovvi.org/oh48cf.html To show the Aggies are doing the real work: http://www.tamu.edu/univrel/aggiedaily/news/stories/archive/061998-1.html and What it looks like today: http://www.civilwaralbum.com/misc/campford1.htm If you are looking for a book, some guy named Johnny Boggs wrote an award winning historical novel called Camp Ford (I don't know a thing about it, however). But for history, the best thing you can do is get Portals to Hell by Lonnie Speer that covers all Civil War prisons but has pretty good coverage of Camp Ford. |

David Thanks for the help. Have read parts of portals to hell. Don't think that since I owe you I'm going to give you points when BU plays A&M, remember we're the vanderbilt of the big 12. Another ?, any info on the Battle of Bexar prior to the battle of the Alamo. Doc C |

Let's see for that try Stephen Hardin's Texian Illiad and William Davis' Three Roads to the Alamo. Of course the Texas Handbook which I gave as a link will have some good inoformation as well. Look up Battle of Bexar and if it isn't under that look up Benjamin Milam and you can link form that article to however they refer to that battle.

The failure of federal prosecutors May 31 to win guilty verdicts against former Democratic Presidential contender John Edwards on campaign violations illustrates the Justice Department's ongoing arrogance and incompetence in politically sensitive cases.
The Justice Department's crusade to imprison Edwards for up to 30 years on highly dubious charges showed poor judgment when the relevant campaign finance law is so murky. And now a federal jury empaneled in North Carolina has agreed by rendering an acquittal on one charge and no decision on the remaining five counts. The mistrial continues an extraordinary series of defeats and controversial results for the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, an elite unit that is supposed to preserve public trust in government by prevailing against the nation's most corrupt officials in the most important cases.
As in recent high-profile cases stretching from Alabama to Alaska over the past four years, the unit has again humiliated itself, needlessly hurt defendants and wasted millions of dollars in taxpayer funds. Edwards is at right in a file photo from his term as a North Carolina senator before his current disgrace for cheating on his ailing wife, fathering an illegitimate daughter and trying to hide his affair.
"To pick this kind of case and spend tens of millions of dollars to prosecute a failed presidential candidate just doesn't make any sense to me," commented Bush-appointed former Federal Election Commission Chairman Michael Toner. A Republican, he is now a partner at the powerhouse Washington law firm of Wiley Rein. "I'm not a fan of John Edwards or his underlying conduct," Toner continued, "but I never thought it was a violation of the federal election laws, let alone a criminal violation." Among others denouncing the Edwards prosecution as ill-conceived have been campaign finance lawyer Brett Kappel, who said the verdict was no surprise because "it was a difficult legal theory to prove." Another is Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who published a column, Edwards' Jury Couldn't Decide and for Good Reason.

Hi CA!
It's been some time since I posted anything on this forum. (Same lame introduction, sorry!) I've been trying to improve my skills to cope with all the awesomeness going on here. Well, I thought it would be good to post some stuff at last! I've registered with a new username btw. My old username was: "atmospheria" which doesn't make sense to me anymore...
Anyway, here are some of the stuff I worked on this summer. First one is the Cover of this months Dragon magazine (#380) for Wizards of the Coast. The environment is a concept art piece for Fable 3. Which I'm working on as a concept artist atm... The game is coming along really nicely! It will hopefully hit the shelves next year these times... and the rest are couple of Illustrations I did for various clients + a personal character concept.
Let me know what you think?
Oh, lastly... I have a new website If you guys wanna check out. It's basically a flashfest so will take some more time than normal to open up. Here is the link:
leave a comment or two if you can, yea?
Thanks for dropping by!

Gradually u will achieve it. Read more ! more ! and more !
There are lots of companies which offers Content writing at a nominal cost.. But you have to be very careful in choosing one..
If you don't know how to write you probably shouldn't do it. You'll only put yourself and your business (if you have one) in an unprofessional light. I offer inexpensive writing services as a professional PR writer with a Bachelor's degree in Communications and PR. My prices are inexpensive because I enjoy making extra income from home and being a freelancer. My site is Leigh Peterson - Virtual Online Assistant for Internet Marketing, SEO, Websites & Blogs, Social Media. (I'm also a virtual assistant and I'm using the Swift Theme for one of my client's websites, which is why I'm here on this forum.)
Read novel, magazines, and newspaper it improve your thought process which help you to improve your content writing easily.
You can start by choosing the topic that you have sufficient knowledge about. Choose to write about topics where you are really interested in. read different resources about that topics and get ideas from what you have read. It may be difficult at first but by continuously practicing your writing skills, it will develop gradually.
Hi Wallter.
Like some others said, do some reading. Read popular blogs in your niche or field to get an idea of what works in your industry and in the blogging format.
When you're writing, ask yourself what your content has to offer the reader. Will it entertain them? Does it help them with something which matters to them? Will it solve a genuine problem in their life? If the answer is no to all of those, rethink and come up with something which does perform one of those functions.
People online don't usually want to spend much time. Make the beginning of your articles snappy and intriguing, and make sure you get to the point in clear, simple language.
As Leigh mentioned in her pitch above, you can hire others to write for you. If you don't want to do that, and you're willing to put in some effort and keep practicing - you can do it for yourself.
I'm writing some more about this stuff over on my blog soon, and have some articles about writing good blog headlines and similar, may be of help. All free.
Good luck mate!

It's the season of the country fair in the Eastern Townships, with the first of five in a row beginning this weekend, just an hour's drive outside of the city.
For urbanites whose only contact with the lesser rungs on the food chain they stuff in their mouths comes in the aisle of their neighbourhood supermarket, it's a chance to re-educate themselves and their children on where their food actually comes from, and the work that goes into raising it.
What are the attributes that make a champion cow better than the rest? Why not ask the farmer. He or she will be happy to tell you, or you can sit in on the livestock judging and find out for yourself. Not just cows, either. You can find out what constitutes a good rabbit. Or a prize-winning chicken.
For locals, county fairs are the equivalent of a high-school reunion, a chance to reacquaint with long-lost schoolmates, friends and neighbours, or show off their acumen at animal husbandry, raising healthy specimens of goats and sheep and cows that are suitable for breeding. Not just for bragging rights, either - awards can raise the stock and CVs of breeds, fetching a higher price when it comes time to auction them off, or sell the ingredients necessary to rear their genetic offspring.
Mostly, though, agricultural fairs are a happy, unpretentious hobnobbing of people young and old, urban and rural, taking in a tradition that dates back before the birth of this country, and in many ways hasn't changed much, as the demonstrations of horse pulls and quilting seminars demonstrate.
Displays of modern farming equipment, salivated over by farmers, and pulls by tractors on steroids show the changes that technical evolution has wrought. Souped-up lawn-tractor pulls and demolition derbies also show that nobody takes themselves too seriously, which is good.
It's fun at a bargain price (most fairs charge around $10-$12 per person for entry and after that all attractions, including the amusement park rides, are free) that hearkens back to our agricultural roots and reminds us of the joy in communing with our fellow human beings. And cows.
Here, in chronological order, are five fairs coming up, starting with today's fair in nearby Bedford.
Aug. 12-15
Started in 1828, the Bedford Fair is the granddaddy, age-wise, of country fairs, the oldest of its kind in Quebec, and the second oldest in Canada. In fact, it's considerably older than Canada.
But with about 15,000 fairgoers, it is small in numbers, which means less crowding, and the waits for the rides aren't so long, fair general manager Mona Beaulac said.
"It's the country atmosphere that people like, and the sense of space," Beaulac said.
The fair started Thursday, which means that if you're just finding about it now, you've already missed the modified lawn tractor pulls and the demolition derby.
Happily, if you leave first thing this morning, you can catch the judging of the Holstein dairy cattle, which starts at 10 a.m., as well as small animals. Farm tractor pulls are at 1 p.m., at 4 you can see how a cow is milked, and at 7 the young talent competition, showcasing the best local singers and musicians, gets underway. There's a band on at 9:30. And the rides are on all day.
Go tomorrow and you can catch the antique car exhibit, an animal parade and a sheep shearing demonstration, among other festivities.
To get there: Bedford is about an hour drive southeast of Montreal. Take Exit 22 off of Highway 10, then follow the 35 South to the 133 South, then the 202 East.
Aug. 19-22
The rides open as of 4 p.m. on Thursday at this fair just east of Sherbrooke. On Friday, there's a tractor pull at 7 p.m., as well as modified tractors, and the Slightly Haggard band performs at the Centre McAuley, which sounds interesting.
Magicians perform during the weekend, and there's a 4X4 truck pull at 7 p.m. that's open to any comers, but you might want to check with your wife before you blow the tranny on your minivan.
Sunday at 2, there's an animal and machinery parade, which is something you don't see every day in Montreal.
To get there: Cookshire is a two-hour drive east of Montreal. Take Highway 10 all the way to Sherbrooke, then take the 610 East to the 122 East and finally to the 253 South.
Ayer's Cliff/Stanstead Country Agricultural Fair
Aug. 26-29
Held in picturesque Ayer's Cliff and organized by the Stanstead County Agricultural Society, the fair celebrates 165 years this season. It features most of the staples of fair life, with a focus on horticulture and prizes awarded to the best honey, maple syrup and baked goods, as well as garden crops and even floral arrangements.
A plea for financial help lodged this year by the fair's organizers shows the difficulties in running a 165-year-old institution based on a vanishing way of life.
Bad weather led to the fair running deficits of $20,000 in 2007 and $46,000 in 2009, although they pulled a $25,000 profit in 2008, organizers told The Record newspaper. But many of the century-old buildings are in need of repair.
"We're doing what we can to keep the country fair alive," said Sandy Johnston, one of the fair directors.
Johnston has a vested and sentimental interest in doing so: His father and uncle started displaying their livestock at the fair in 1928, 82 years ago, and the family has only missed one fair since then, in 1947. Johnston has an 80-hectare farm, with about 90 dairy cattle.
To get there: Ayer's Cliff is about an hour and 40 minutes from Montreal. Take Highway 10 to Exit 121, merge onto Highway 55 South, then take Exit 21 to the 141 South.
Sept. 3-6
Held on Labour Day weekend and located relatively close to Montreal, the 154-year-old Brome Country Fair is the granddaddy of agricultural expositions in terms of size, attracting close to 50,000 participants over its four days, roughly half of them from Montreal. It is the third-largest agricultural fair in Quebec. Attendance is a lot less if it rains, however - then just the locals go, fair publicist Diana Frizzle said.
The Brome Fair puts its focus on education and local products, so there are several demonstrations of agricultural products, and local fare like honey, goat-milk soap and wine are plentiful.
Animators will show you where your hamburger and steak come from, for example, Frizzle said. Or milk, if it's a dairy cow. There are quizzes for the kids and sandboxes filled with corn or grain.
And on Monday, she said: "We have the good old-fashioned horse pull."
You can also camp overnight at the site if you want to make a weekend of it, or at public campgrounds in the region.
To get there: Brome is about one hour and 20 minutes from Montreal. Take Highway 10 to Exit 74, take the 241 South, then turn left onto Highway 104. Turn right, or south, onto Highway 215.
Sept. 9 -12
Your last chance of the season to catch an agricultural fair in the region, the Richmond Fair turns 154 this year and features an amateur dog competition on the Thursday evening. Alongside the usual sheep and horse displays, Richmond features a Giant Snakes of the World tent, where it's best not to leave small children unattended.
On Saturday, there are a wide variety of truck pulls starting at 4 p.m., and a rock show at 9:30 in the beer tent. Irish dancers and cloggers perform on Sunday, and there's a horse show at 2 p.m.
To get there: If you take Highway 20 East out of Montreal to Exit 147, then take the 116 East to Highway 143, it will take about one hour and 45 minutes to get there. The fairgrounds are on Highway 143 between Richmond and Windsor.

Ferrari's latest FIA rant attacks "Serbian vultures" and Mosley's "holy war"
The attack on the FIA published by Ferrari on their website has already drawn some reaction in the daily round-up.
Ferrari has made several such criticisms in the past months but this is the most vociferous yet. It claims Lotus and Virgin "will limp into the start of the championship", calls Stefan GP the "Serbian vultures" and leaves no-one in any doubt where Ferrari believe the blame lies:
This is the legacy of the holy war waged by the former FIA president.
Last week the team marked the 112nd anniversary of founder Enzo Ferrari's birthday. It published a short interview with his son Piero Ferrari which was light on reminiscences about Enzo but heavy on the politics:
Q: What would he have thought about a Championship where the test sessions are concentrated in four weeks and obstructed by lots of rain?
A: He would have been completely against it. That's for sure. [...]
I completely agree with Luca di Montezemolo when he says that there should be the possibility to start a third car, which can be managed by smaller teams, or maybe even do it like we did in the 1970s, considering the stable rules, private teams often used cars from the bigger teams from the previous year. I really think that it's absolutely possible thinking about introducing a third car, which could guarantee more suspense and lower costs.
It is clear the Ferrari and the FIA have different interpretations of what caused manufacturers to leave F1 and what the solution should be.
The FIA believes high costs drove the car manufacturers out and the remedy is to change the rules so teams with smaller budgets can compete.
Ferrari believes Mosley's governance of F1 drove the likes of Toyota and BMW away (and Renault in all but name) and the solution is to allow teams to run more cars.
The problem with Ferrari's 'three car teams' solution is it will stifle variety, make it easer for a single team to dominate the championship and make it harder for existing small teams like Williams and Force India to compete.
Allow teams to enter more than two cars and it's not hard to see F1 gradually degenerating into a DTM equivalent with just two car makers supplying the entire field.
That scenario would be far worse for F1 than having a couple of uncertain entries at the back of the grid. And it would bring the added problem of races being spoiled by team orders which the DTM has struggled with in recent years (more on that here: Why three-car teams isn't a great idea).
But what is most surprising is that Ferrari are happy for their point to be put across in this fashion. The hectoring style and grandiose language in the statement verges on comical at times. Perhaps something has been lost in translation.
The wording may be odd but the meaning is clear. The question now is whether Jean Todt will heed the words of his former team.
Do you think he should? Is replacing car manufacturers with the likes of Virgin Racing really such a bad thing for F1? Have your say in the comments.

Rating: 2.0By Kallie from KS. (Saturday, July 06, 2013)
I ordered this rug in the red for my living room. It looked gorgeous on my computer monitor, but when it arrived I was soooo disappointed. I could barely tell where one color began and another ended they were so dull amd drab (brownish) looking. The rug was well made and extremely thick, so it should wear forever, but not at my house!
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.
