WEST ORANGE, N.J., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training and a driving force in helping students turn their passion into professional success, has announced a training partnership with Hurco Companies, Inc., to train a new generation of CNC Machinists on the Indianapolis, IN campus of Lincoln College of Technology.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130910/NY77325LOGO)
Lincoln will become one of the first proprietary school networks to launch a program offering training for CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machining careers. The CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technology program will train students in manufacturing fundamentals such as milling, turning and lathing and will also include advanced machining concepts and simulated workplace exercises. All hands-on lab training will take place on Hurco equipment, which the manufacturer is providing to Lincoln. The agreement with Hurco establishes Lincoln as a training partner through 2018.
"Lincoln is excited to be partnering with a worldwide leader-not to mention a close neighbor-in Hurco of Indianapolis," says Indianapolis campus President Todd Clark. "The 10 CNC machines Hurco will provide will be invaluable to our students-who will always train on the most current Hurco technologies. It's a mutually beneficial partnership as well-our school is less than a mile from Hurco's world headquarters and they can use our training facility as a type of showroom when their own clients want to view their models in action. We're extremely excited to be working with them."
While Lincoln students will have the benefit of training on state-of-the-industry machines, Hurco will have the benefit of knowing their customers will be able to hire Lincoln graduates who join the workforce trained and ready to work on specific Hurco models. In addition, the top two graduating students from each Lincoln class will be offered paid internships with Hurco.
"The American manufacturing industry is one that we've wanted to directly support for some time now," says Shaun McAlmont, Lincoln's CEO. "This program, and the partnership with Hurco, will allow us to do just that. We anticipate a great deal of success on both sides – as Lincoln students graduate and go on to successful CNC careers that drive our nation's manufacturing rebound, and as Hurco strengthen their own workforce by having 'first choice' of our graduates."
Companies such as Hurco have been instrumental in developing technology and equipment that has reshaped and redefined what "manufacturing careers" entail. The industry has undergone a revolution that Lincoln will spotlight as it recruits prospective students, says McAlmont.
"Today's manufacturing jobs are technical in nature, and ideally suited for people who are analytical problem solvers and who want to build things using computers and technology," McAlmont explains. "These aren't the perceived 'factory' jobs of a generation or two ago, and people will be surprised at what they find when they come to a CNC facility. Modern manufacturing facilities are clean, comfortable, safe work environments."
Hurco's President Greg Volovic believes Lincoln can be a leading voice in changing the way manufacturing is viewed around the country. "Lincoln has the national reach to be an influential voice to educate the public about 21st century manufacturing in America, what it looks like, and why it is important," Volovic says.
"Lincoln's commitment to applied education and their grasp on the role of technology in manufacturing helps create a quality program where students can attain the education they need in order to launch new careers in the manufacturing sector."
"Our core customers, who run small to medium-sized job shops, tell us they continue to have difficulty finding qualified employees," Volovic adds. "Partnering with Lincoln to build a premier CNC machining program right here in Indianapolis is the perfect opportunity for Hurco. Manufacturing is where skilled trades and technology meet, and Hurco CNC mills and lathes provide the technology pieces that will increase the value and relevance of the skills students will learn."
Lincoln continues to seek out and establish new partnerships and programs around the country to bridge the skills gap between the abilities of the workforce and the needs of employers. The Indianapolis campus is a 185,000+ square foot facility that has been redesigned to include a 5,000-square foot CNC Machining and Manufacturing training area. The campus will offer certificate and diploma programs in CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technology, in addition to its current programs in Automotive, Diesel and Truck Technology, Collision Repair and Refinishing, and Electronics Systems Technology.

The true scandal of BountyGate is hidden in the hyperbole
I didn't want to write anything about the BountyGate coverage knowing I could never give an unbiased, fair assessment of the scandal as a lifelong Saints fan. I've always been curious what it'd be like to have my team at the center of a scandal big enough it got its own "Gate" attached to it... now I know, it sucks. This is worse than going through the years of Billy Joe Hobert AND Billy Joe Tolliver. The actions of Gregg Williams, Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis, the players, and everyone else in BountyGate have taken a team whose story was admired and embraced by a nation - from the depths of Hurricane Katrina all the way to a Super Bowl triumph - and blotted it with an ugly scandal. They've hurt their organization, their league, and their fans in a drastic way.
Make no mistake, the Saints organization and those involved should pay for what transpired, if for nothing else than their sheer arrogance and stupidity in lying to the league and thinking they would never get found out. With Roger Goodell's emphasis on player safety (more on that in a bit), they had to know the risk of getting caught giving out bounties to knock players out of games would far outweight the petty cash and/or symbolic reward. They had to know the hammer would come down hard when that day of reckoning would come, especially after attempting to cover up their activities. The parties involved deserve every bit of likely punishment that's coming (fines, suspensions, draft picks) because of that reality.
Are bounties wrong? Of course. Unethical? Absolutely. But as you've heard this week, bounties and pay for performance schemes aren't exclusive to New Orleans. Of course, that in no way excuses the elaborate and cringe-inducing scheme run by Gregg Williams though.
But it's also true that in any "Gate" level scandal or controversy, the media by nature is bound to circle like hungry sharks smelling blood in the water. When this type of story erupts, levelheadedness too often gets thrown out the window. Rushes to judgment are made. Sweeping comparisons are a dime a dozen.
The competition of "Who Can Be The Most Appalled And Horrified This Could Happen" among sportswriters over BountyGate has been a story worth watching in its own right. But in the end, the hyperbole therein hides the true scandal of BountyGate. Just take a look at these examples...

damn! they're one of the best dance acts of present timesAustralian drum 'n' bass crew Pendulum have decided to call it quits after ten years together.
Coming together in Perth, Australia Pendulum seemed to prove that drum 'n' bass could be a commercial force in the 21st century. Bass rattling festival heroes, the band took their music around the globe.
Eventually settling in London, a hometown show Down Under back in January seemed to expose cracks in the band. Pendulum producer Rob Swire Tweeted to fans, informing them that this would be the last show for a long time.
Now the musician has gone one further. Updating his Twitter profile, Rob Swire has signalled the end of Pendulum: "There will be no further Pendulum live shows. There are no current plans for a new album in 2013".
Now concentrating on his Knife Party side project, Rob Swire recently told Triple J that he felt the new group were simply more fun than his day job. "The Knife Party thing is going so well we don't really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon," he told the station's Linda Marigliano. "We're having too much fun with this project. It's also great because Pendulum towards the end sort of felt like we were doing it because we had to and that's never a fun way to do music. Whereas Knife Party is pretty much solely us doing what we want to and if no one likes it we don't care."
Writing on his Twitter page, Rob Swire was clearly stunned by the reaction of fans to news of Pendulum's split. "Lol...wow, everyone loves things more when they're gone, I guess. The Kurt Cobain effect."

Additional information
This lizard is usually found around large rock outcrops, sheltering in crevices or under large slabs of rock. The ridged backward-facing scales of the lower body and tail make it difficult for predators to extract the lizards from rock crevices. The adults are mainly herbivorous, eating flowers, berries, shoots and leaves. Juveniles are mostly insect eaters. This species is found from southern Queensland to western Victoria.

10 stress-relieving apps for iPad
Summary: Are you stressed out? Do you have an iPad? If your answer is "yes" to both of those questions, then you owe it to yourself to check out the apps on this list! Ah, relaxation...

ImageMagic Window is one of my all-time favorite apps, ever! It's filled with relaxing scenes accompanied by ambient sounds. Watch the sun set behind an ocean as fast or as slow as you'd like -- all while listening to the calming sound of waves; or, watch a thick, cloudy fog roll across a moonlit river valley. Those are just two of my favorite scenes, but there are tons to choose from with even more to purchase if you can't get enough.

- leaving your country of origin;
- growing up in a faraway land;
Past experiences such as these may seem too big to write about comfortably. But perspective changes everything. Check out these three memoirs and how each woman's viewpoint has shaped her storytelling.

It's a rare pleasure to see a big-budget summer blockbuster this ambitious and stimulating. If seen as intended -- on a full-sized IMAX screen in 3D -- Prometheus is likely to be the most visually impressive movie you'll see this year. Director Ridley Scott's mastery is on full display, and his return to the Alien franchise that he created in 1979, this time in the form of a prequel, reminds us why he's been considered an elite filmmaker for the better part of three decades.
As the film opens, a scientific research team discovers an ancient cave drawing on a remote arctic island which depicts a man pointing up to a group of planets. Similar artwork depicting the same planetary system had been uncovered in unrelated locations throughout the world, and since none of these primitive cultures could have possibly had any contact with one another, the researchers theorize that the drawings may hold the secret to the origin of life on Earth. After locating a distant solar system in which the configuration of planets matches that of the drawings, the group embarks upon a trillion-dollar research expedition aboard the ship Prometheus in search of the meaning of life.
Throughout the journey, the crew sleeps in hibernation chambers as David, a life-like android, keeps watch over the ship. David – played brilliantly by the extremely versatile Michael Fassbender – is possibly the most interesting part of the movie. As the humans sleep, David watches Lawrence of Arabia, rides a work-out bike, and colors his hair. As a machine, albeit one that is highly advanced, he certainly doesn't need entertainment, exercise, or grooming, yet he is clearly compelled to engage in this behavior. This could simply be the result of complex programming (developed by humans) designed to make him mimic human thought and emotion, but it's also possible that his machinery is so advanced that he has literally developed the ability to "think," on his own, in the same abstract, subjective manner of humans.
The question at the heart of the film, however, is who created life on earth, and why. The scientists aboard Prometheus possess an unquenchable desire to comprehend the origins of intelligent life on our planet, and they believe that their mission will lead them to their creators. In this context, the character of David, and what he represents as a "virtual human", takes on added significance when one considers that he's essentially a synthetic life-form created by humans. Essentially, the humans not only want to meet their maker, they want to be makers themselves.
The contemplative nature of the of the first part of the film, though thought-provoking it may be, regrettably takes a backseat to standard genre conventions almost immediately upon the ship's arrival at its destination. There are epic sandstorms, alien attacks, gruesome surgical procedures, and enormous explosions. We learn that the shadowy company that funded the journey, the Weyland Corporation, has sinister ulterior motives. (Weyland's representative aboard the ship, Meredith Vickers, is well-played by an icy Charlize Theron.) There are brief love scenes. There are battles with flame-throwers. Obviously, 2001: A Space Odyssey this is not. Nonetheless, the existential questions that hover over the proceedings give the movie a bit of unexpected depth, which I felt added to the overall experience.
I'd be remiss, however, if I didn't mention the film's flaws. There are a number of logic gaps and unclear motivations behind the actions of various characters. For presumably intelligent scientists, these people repeatedly make inexplicably poor decisions. Look no further than one of the biologist's first interactions with a snake-like alien. Also, as is often the case with prequels, the filmmakers are somewhat hamstrung by the need for the plot to tie in to the original film. As such, there are forced scenes at the end of the film solely to remind us that we're watching the genesis of what would come later in Alien. (There's also a tacked-on scene at the film's conclusion simply to inform us that we're certain to get at least one sequel in the very near future.)
The strong performance of Noomi Rapace (from the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo films) in the central role of Elizabeth Shaw, one of the mission's lead scientists and a true religious believer, is worthy of praise. She provides the strong, brave female presence that Sigourney Weaver famously provided in the franchise's previous entries. Idris Elba (Stringer Bell in TV's The Wire) is fun to watch as the ship's captain, although the script doesn't give him much to do.
This is a movie that teetered on the brink of greatness, but didn't quite get there. I already mentioned how breathtaking the visuals are; the award-worthy cinematography is rich, detailed, and surprisingly vibrant. The 3D designs are used to great effect, especially in a scene in which David activates a hologram mapping device on a defunct alien ship. The "deep" questions at the heart of the film may only be explored superficially, but at least they provide some of the food for thought that typically vanishes from multiplexes during the summer months. Although its blemishes prevent Prometheus from joining Blade Runner and Alien as another Ridley Scott masterpiece, they don't prevent it from being a very good movie, and, ultimately, that's fine with me.

All of this angst has nothing to do with the children - it's about control.
By Drew Peterson in the Chattanooga newspaper
"Only 88 people died in mass shootings in America this year -- and those numbers come courtesy of The Nation, one of America's most antigun publications. Yes, it's heartbreaking that 88 people died. But that's out of 315 million Americans. That means one in every 3.6 million Americans died in a mass shooting this year -- about the same portion as the number of Americans that died each year from lightning strikes.
Four times more Americans die in shower and bathtub accidents every year than die in mass shootings, according to the National Safety Council."
A 2010 study published in the academic journal Thymos revealed that 117 baby boys die every year in the U.S. from circumcision complications. Even though more Americans die from botched unnecessary penis surgeries than mass shootings, talking heads don't rush to the nearest TV studio to condemn circumcisions.
When mass shootings occur, rather than trying to stoke hysteria and strip rights, maybe anti-gun nuts (not to mention the media) should grieve the victims and then celebrate how rare such events truly are in the United States.
Great post. That helps put this whole thing into perspective for us.

The House That Ken Built
By Mariam Mokhtar
An Ipohite, Kenneth Yeh, has done Malaysia proud. Last month, the husband and wife team of Kenneth and his Argentinian wife Carolina Marra, founders of their architectural firm 'Marra + Yeh', won an award from the Architectural Review (AR), a leading London publication and critic of global architecture.
Their winning entry was the 'Shelter @ Rainforest' project, a building deep in the forests of Sabah which provides accommodation for the manager of a forestry company, his family and their visitors.
Both Yeh and Marra, are based in Sydney but Yeh divides his time between Australia and Asia, including Malaysia, where he has various commissions. They travelled to London to receive the award, at a ceremony on June 26, which was attended by architects from all over the world.
Two-hundred entries for 2012 were judged by a distinguished international jury consisting of Brian Mackay-Lyons (Canada), Sofia Von Ellrichshausen (Chile) and Peter Salter (UK), and chaired by Catherine Slessor. Slessor who is also the editor of the AR said, "[Marra + Yeh]'s project clearly stood out and the jury found it both impressive and convincing."
Yeh told the Ipoh Echo that he never intended to be an architect. He had harboured designs to be a Naval Architect but his parents objected to that choice of study. "My parents said that there is 'no future in designing belly buttons'. Today, I take revenge on my parents by designing my buildings to look like boats or ships."
He studied at the University of Texas at Austin, and trained under the Architect, Peter Bohlin, but is disappointed that the School of Architecture which he attended is not recognised in Malaysia, despite being ranked #2 in the US.
His first job was the design of a Palm Oil refinery, for a company in Ipoh. Now, from his Australian base, he travels extensively around Asia. Every 2-3 months, finds himself in Ipoh, to visit his mother and for work: "I have a couple of houses in Meru Valley Golf Course."
The talented designer lives in an old converted biscuit factory, with a courtyard garden containing mature trees of avocado, magnolia and Australian hardwood. He described his home, as "a nice juxtaposition of old and new."
News about the award had taken both Yeh and Marra by surprise. "The house (for the project) we designed is a very humble dwelling. Of course there's also a satisfaction in being acknowledged for such work and for all the effort in the three years that it took to make it happen," said Yeh.
A delighted Marra said, "The AR has held architects to a pretty high standard for a long time, they had top notch judges and the competition is tough, so to be given an award is quite an honour."
When asked about the working relationship of a husband and wife team, Yeh said, "Two heads are better than one!" but declared, "Sometimes all we talk about is architecture. That can be both good and bad."
The hands-on approach during construction is part of Yeh's work philosophy. He also does research to understand what is unique about the place and the people involved in a particular project. "We then design a building that responds to the situation, it is not preconceived," he said.
For their Sabah project, they used a four-wheel drive to visit small villages in Sabah to learn and understand the traditional buildings of the Rungus and the Muruts, and see how they had evolved over time and how they are used within the traditions of the local communities.
The Shelter @ Rainforest project is made from timber to create a low-cost house which uses solar electricity, biogas and rainwater. A feature of the design is that indoor temperatures may peak at twenty-six degrees celsius at noon, which is around eight to ten degrees lower than the outdoor temperature.
Although he was nostalgic about Ipoh as a place, he confessed, "I am worried about it as an Architect". He was full of praise for another of Ipoh's famous architects: "B.M. Iversen is the only famous Architect from Ipoh. I admire his work as it has an evolution about it. It evolved over time to accommodate the extreme tropical climate and the growth the buildings had to accommodate."
"His buildings gave Ipoh a distinctive character, different from Penang and Malacca. There was a Tropical Modernism coupled with sophistication. He was ahead of his time and still is. His buildings are destroyed because the developers and owners of these buildings often do not know how to appreciate them. This is a tragedy."
Yeh said that Ipoh had an ownership problem created initially, by the excesses of the '80s and the '90s which helped create many uncompleted housing estates, especially in the outer suburbs.
"Secondly, rent seeking coupled with the unjustified conservative banking culture produced a small class of landlords and a rapidly growing class of renters. This does not bode well for Ipoh as the bulk of the citizenry are not invested in Ipoh through property and are in fact getting forced out of the property ladder," he said.
"This is a recipe for inequality and at some point this inequality will produce social explosions. We are already seeing this in the very high density, low cost and not well thought of developments in KL."
He stressed the importance of preserving Ipoh's old heritage buildings and laments the loss of much of our roots and history through indiscriminate demolition. "The quick answer is good regulation, enforced properly. The long-term answer is reviving the economic health of Ipoh and educating the public on what good architecture is. If people are proud of their town or city they will not stand idly by and watch it being destroyed."
His advice for anyone pursuing a career in architecture was sobering: "It is not a career but a way of being. If you are not passionate about it, do not enter it as a default choice of hedging one's bet between the arts and the sciences."
Yeh said, "I would like to thank the staff and writers of Ipoh Echo for their work in fostering community through this paper. It is important work that rarely gets acknowledged."
Ipoh Echo would like to congratulate Kenneth and Carolina, and thank them for sharing their views on architecture.

Oh so great! Those who sat as judges there are terribly 'Pathetic'. In Sabah there are countless numbers of rumah panjang, like the one that Ken did, what is so great in that? Give credit where it's due.
Well done Ken and Marra. It is refreshing to read about your thoughts on architecture of the buildings in Ipoh, especially on how designs of yore were years ahead of it's time.
Well deserved award.
Thank you very much for the link.
Now everyone can see your winning design.
How wonderfully simple and sensible! And how it belongs to the jungle.
For pics of Shelters@rainforest, please follow link below :
Congratulations to Carol and Ken!
You have done us proud!
It would be nice to see some visuals of the winning design and read the rationale for it.
Would IPOH ECHO tell us more?
Architecture is not an easy subject to talk about but we can all learn to appreciate buildings.
Otherwise, not only will our architectural heritage diminish by ignorance, we are not seeing new buildings worth keeping for posterity, least of all the uninhabitable housing we are dumped with. -
Thank you Mariamn for the great article on Ken and Carol's success!Congratulations to Ken & Carol on winning the award! As an Ipohite I am proud of you! Thank you, Ken for saying the fine words about my father and for supporting me when I express my sorrow when yet another of his buildings is demolished. It was good meeting you all in London the other day!

Summary and Book Reviews
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Summary and book reviews of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
While the mystery at the center of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wraps up very satisfactorily, the novel itself does not. That's not to say that the book's ending is poor; it is, in fact, one of the most appropriate endings this reviewer has encountered. The problem is that it will without doubt leave the reader wanting more. Fortunately for his fans, Stieg Larsson completed two more books in the Millenium series before his untimely death. This is one book that lives up to its hype, and it is likely to get as much attention in America as it has in Europe since its publication there. Highly recommended. (Reviewed by Kim Kovacs).

My friend Elena is running a campaign on Kickstarter to help fund her film The Illusionists, a feature-length documentary about the commodification of the body and the marketing of unattainable beauty around the world.
In the style of Inside Job, Food Inc. and The Corporation, The Illusionists takes the pursuit of the body beautiful - a subject often framed in personal terms - and puts it in historical and commercial context. Such political approaches to body image tend not to go down well with the people holding the purse strings, says Elena, which is why she has decided to go to her community for funding instead. She writes:
The more I worked on "The Illusionists," the better I understood why media companies and TV stations resist similar projects: they are afraid of scaring off advertisers, and push filmmakers to make "personal," lighter films on the subject. It happened in my case and I refused. That's why I'm running a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com: so that I can be completely candid about these topics and do them justice.
Where I am a word nerd Elena is a filmmaker, and the video I've posted above does more justice to her ideas than I can do in writing (without expending thousands of words on the subject, at any rate). Go watch it - and consider donating to the campaign. She's 40% funded already, but in order to keep the pledges already received, she needs to reach her full $33,000 goal by August 5.

Mike Evans Organic Cost Share Reimbursement Tele: (404) 586-1140 Fax: (770) 228-7219 Email: email@example.com
People throughout the U.S. are interested in organic or "naturally produced" foods. However, although similar in principle, growing crops or producing milk, beef or chicken naturally or without use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics is very different from "organic" farm production. Legally, there are steps that growers, livestock producers, food processors (including handlers or distributors) must follow before the word "organic" can appear on the label.
There are many websites with information on starting an organic farm and selling organic items. You can read our Organic Fact Sheet as well as finding several good fact sheets on the USDA's National Organic Program website.
In summary, organic fruits, vegetables, milk, meat products, etc. must be produced and handled according to the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations and standards. All producers selling more than $5,000 of organic products in a calendar year must have their operation inspected and certified by a USDA approved state or private certifying agency. This certification gives confidence to the consumer that all products labeled "organic" have been produced under the same standards. Currently in Georgia, only private certifying agents perform this service. Click here to view Certifying Agents.
Producers that sell less than $5,000 worth of organic products a year are exempt from the organic certification requirements (termed "exempt grower/producers") but still must comply with the NOP regulations. Organic products from exempt growers/producers may not be used in processed food products label as organic but may be sold at farmer markets and retail stores. Also, "Certified Organic" cannot be used on product labels from exempt growers/producers. Those that intend to file for an exempt status must complete the appropriate forms in this package and return to GDA.
All organic producers must register with the Georgia Department of Agriculture. There is no cost for registration and the information is placed on our website for consumers to use in their search for locally produced organic foods.
National Organic Certification Cost Share Program At this time, there is no funding available for the 2013 Cost Share Program. Funding for the Cost Share Program is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Farm Bill. The 2008 Farm Bill has expired and Congress has not passed a new Farm Bill.
If funding is made available later this year, certified producers and handlers will be eligible for participation in the National Organic Cost Share Program. To participate, producers and handlers must be certified by a USDA accredited certifying agent and the certification expenses must be incurred during the current Federal Fiscal Year (Oct. 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2013). Interested persons should apply as soon as possible because funds, if provided, will be limited. The deadline for applications is Sept. 20, 2012.

I FARMINC * . t POtt^- iC » • \* T iS SERVER Ue WHERE THE HISTORY ." UK COMMUNITY IS RECORDED WEEKLY An Officiaf Newspaper of The Incorporated Village of. Farmingdale — Serving Greater Farmingdale. Bethpage and Melville VOL. 9 NO. 2 Second Class Postage has been paid at Farmingdale, N. Y. 11735 • Published bv THE OBSERVER, INC., Box 146, Farmingdale, N. Y. Thursday, S e p t e m b e r 2 1 9 71 MIRACLE ON CARMAN ROAD BRIDGE: It was indeed almost a miracle that happened there. A boy riding his bicycle over the bridge escaped certain injury, possibly death, when he managed to jump off his bike just moments before an automobile, lost control and which had crossed the dividing double line, pinned the bicycle to the fence. The South Farmingdale Fire Department removed the car, after its driver and the boy were attended to. Both were checked out at Mid- Island Hospital. Photo: Robert J. Greco LI. Called Supermarket For Stolen Automobiles The startling information thai Long Island is the easiest spot to get your car pilfered and also to purchase another one real cheap was disclosed during the stimulating three- day Northeast Regional Auto Theft Seminar held at Roosevelt Hall of State University at Farmingdale. With some 200 representatives from police departments in many parts of this country, insurance agencies, F. B. I., automobile manufactuerers, etc., present, Lt. Joseph Chambers, head of the Nassau County Police Department's Auto Theft Squad, said. " Nassau and Suffolk provide both the supply and the demand for stolen cars." He revealed that a total of close to 9,000 cars were stolen in Nassau and Suffolk last year, with Nassau reporting almost 6,500. In disclosing that Nassau and Suffolk Counties were " supermarkets" for car thieves, Lt. Chambers brought out that large parking areas, especially those at Long Island's many railroad stations, as well as big shopping centers, are ideal spots for these professional thieves. He described how these thieves would pick out a car in a parking lot early any morning, write down the plate number, model and make obtain new plates and forged registration already, then return to steal it, usually from the same parking space a few days later. Another interesting item was brought out by Lt. Chambers-the fact that stolen cars can be sold without any difficulty. " Suburban communities, with their ftigh per capita incomes, in most cases require a second or third, car and the offer of a car, expecially a new one at almost half its retail price, complete with new plates and forged registration and bill of sale, has a ready market," he said. School Lunch Managed by Outside Firm The school lunch program in the Farmingdale Schools will be managed by a concessionaire ARA Services, Inc. this school year. According to school board president Robert Campbell, a savings of at least $ 40,000 is expected. The concessionaire will reduce the number of employees from 108 to 97. Trustees Lucille Goulding and Terry Weathers - voted against the bid award because of concern for the employees. Weathers was particularly concerned about the retirement status of some of the people involved. J. Richard Zutt, the district's business manager, explained that the concessionaire had a meeting with the former school lunch, employees to explain the new operating arrangement. As of the night of board meeting he did not yet know if all of the employees who wished to . return would be able to do so. This bid for food service management and the authorization for the Board president to sign the contract was approved at a brief special board meeting on Wednesday evening, at which the Observer's reporter was the only public observer. At the board meeting the promotion of Mr. John Scuderi to the position of chairman of the English Department at Mill Lane Junior High was also approved. Town Hall Decrees inued Austerity Budget Requests Come Under Careful Scrutiny Austerity is the word. Some may even call it penny- pinching. Whatever the definition is - the Town of Oyster Bay is going to see to it that the fiscal year 1972, which started July 1, is not going to end in red ink. Supervisor John Burke took steps to assure that even under the present tight budget conditions essential services can be maintained. Burke ordered his budget director, Joseph Macedonio, to commence a careful line- by- line review of the funds requested by the department heads to determine where reductions can be made in . their 1972 budget requests. He said the budget, resulting from Macedonio's analysis, must meet the following test: " The finai budget document must provide for the continuance of essential Town services while bearing in mind the constant economic pressures that weigh upon our homeowners." The Supervisor tightened the Town's fiscal belt in the Spring when cutbacks in State aid reduced State assistance by more than $ 1 million. " I am determined," Burke said, " to keep that belt as tight as possible. We must be fully cognizant of the effect on our taxpayers of the wage freeze and the present economy as we develop and ultimately adopt a Town budget. " I intend to give to the Town Board for its consideration a budget that recognizes the need for local government to keep Town expenditures in line with existing conditions. " I will also continue the vigorous fiscal effort instituted last year which enabled us to avoid deficit financing of the operating budget." Clean Up Shopping Centers Or Else Shopping centers throughout the Oyster Bay Township have been declared a prime target in a townwide cleanup drive, according to Town Councilman Ralph Diamond, chairman of the Town Board Committee on Environmental Control. PROCLAMATION I, John T. Hallahan, Mayor of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale, recognizing the tremendous influence of sports activity to. the youth of our community and the important part played by the sponsors, administrators and coaches of the Farmingdale Midget Football League to provide such activity, do hereby authorize this proclamation: WHEREAS, through the efforts of responsible businessmen and citizens of the community of Farmingdale, as represented by Farmingdale Midget Football League in providing the youth of this community with a regulated sports program, and, WHEREAS, such sports program does develop a body- building program in addition to a spirit of sportsmanship and competitiveness to our youth, and, WHEREAS, this program will enable our youth to develop such attributes to the betterment of their future with benefits to all concerned, NOW THEREFORE, be it further, RESOLVED, that I, John T. Hallahan, Mayor of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale, in recognition of the efforts of the Farmingdale Midget Football League, do hereby proclaim the week of September 12th to September 18th, 1971, as FARMINGDALE FOOTBALL WEEK, and urge all residents of this community to support the activities of this organization. SIGNED:.... John T. Hallahan Mayor IllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllllllll LILCO: No Change in Procedures Doria of 1971 did as much damage as Donna, the full-fledged hurricane which struck Long Island in 1960, said Jack Strandfeldt, spokesman for the Long Island Lighting Company. The main cause of power disruption for some 250,000 customers was falling tree limbs and consequent progressive failure of transformers and circuit breakers. Considering the magnitude of the damage, the wide area involved and the fact mat for the great majority of homes power was restored within 4 « hours ( although some were without current for up to three days), Strandfeldt was of the opinion that emergency procedures were adequate and LILCO did as much as could be expected under the circumstances. The most seriously affected \ area was southeastern Nassau and western Suffolk. Among the earliest to suffer was the Sai^- Lane area in Sea ford whelp, according to electric clo<* k*? r power failed at 3: 32 A. m., Saturday. Service was not restored until 11: 58 A. M., Monday, an elapsed time of 56 hours and 26 minutes. " We were lucky to get our power back as soon as we did," a resident reported, " because we managed to capture a LILCO crew." According to his story, he noticed a LILCO truck across the canal from where he lives and went to investigate the possibility that a mistaken location had been given. He learned that one house in the area was dark and that the crew had no instructions to restore service to the approximately 50- home area. " At least come and look at our lines," he pleaded. The crew chief, in an admirable display of initiative acceded to the request and determined that a tripped circuit bie& er was the sole cause of the fctftage . After checking in with headquarters, up went the ladder, up went the lineman and in a matter of seconds the damage, despair and suffering of Sands Lane ceased. One crew chief toida distressed customer that much of the equiQjnent was substandard, " old junk that should have been replaced long ago." Strandfeldt explained that LILCO keeps abreast of all developments in the field and that as new equipment is developed it is installed. The rumor concerning LILCO'S reluctance to pay overtime may have been prompted by the Sunday evening radio announcement that said that crews would not work after dark for safety reasons. UPROOTED trees may be fun for kids, but for their parents they present damage to property and pocket book -- with the damage to the pocketbook very seldom recouped by insurance payments. Twins Joseph and Jeffrey Boyle with a friend, Brian Slean, all of North Massapequa, enjoy climbing a tree uprooted during the onslaught of Doria. The 35 year old tree was located on Margaret Road.

Illinois takes fifth dual title of season with victory over Iowa at Junior Duals
By JASON BRYANT
USA Wrestling With 22 Cadet and Junior All-Americans in the mix for Saturday nights Junior Freestyle Duals championship there definitely wasnt a shortage of talent. But when 14 of those All-Americans sit on the Illinois bench, the end result is more of the same. Team Illinois won 11 of 15 bouts to beat Iowa Blue 36-22 on Saturday at Oklahoma City University in Oklahoma City, Okla., to win the states third consecutive freestyle championship at the Junior Duals. Illinois won five of the six team championships over the past month, claiming Schoolboy titles in both styles in Indiana and a Cadet Greco-Roman championship in Florida two weeks ago. ****** Despite dropping only four matches and just four individual bouts going the full three periods, the Iowa squad battled and didnt roll over for the Illinois juggernaut. Illinois opened the dual with back-to-back wins by the Moody brothers. Jabari, a Cadet freestyle champion, topped Nolan Hellickson 5-3, 4-3 at 100 pounds, while Nkosi, a double champion in Juniors last year, shook off a disappointing tournament with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Tanner Rohweder at 106 pounds. Moody had lost three times in the tournament before his resounding victory to put Illinois up 6-2 after two bouts. Tommy Pawelski, the runner-up to Nkosi in last years Junior Nationals, kept Illinois rolling, beating Kaz Oono at 113 pounds by a 3-1, 7-1 decision. The first matchup of All-Americans went Iowas way as Dylan Peters topped Sebastian Pique 1-0, 8-0 at 120 pounds. Peters won the first period on a pushout, then after scoring a second-period takedown, rattled off a series of gutwrenches to end the second quickly. The duals biggest individual match came at 126 pounds, where Illinois Jared Cortez, a Cadet champion in 2010 and Junior All-American last year, topped University of Iowa signee Cory Clark 2-1, 1-0. Cortez countered a Clark single leg attempt in the first period and rolled the attack through for two points and won the second period scoring from the leg clinch. Cortezs victory gave Illinois a 12-7 lead. Two more of Illinois hammers prevailed at 132 and 138 as Zane Richards topped Iowa State signee Dakota Bauer 2-3, 1-0, 4-2 and Bryce Brill shutout Kyle Larson 4-0, 6-0. Richards is the reigning Junior champion, while Brill was a Cadet runner-up in 2010. Larson was fourth at Juniors last year. Iowa would pick up a second victory at 145 pounds as Connor Ryan topped Keith Moylan 2-0, 2-1 to bring Iowa within 19-11. Brian Murphy, last years Junior runner-up topped Iowan Jake Marlin, a Cadet All-American 5-0, 2-1 at 152 pounds. Iowa and Illinois would trade the next four bouts as Iowas Wisconsin signee Justin Koethe edged Northern Illinois signee Trace Engelkes in an exhaustive 5-0, 1-2, 4-4 victory at 160 pounds. Ricky Robertson picked up the win for Illinois at 171 pounds, topping Zeb Wahle 0-1, 2-2, 4-0. Robertson used his length and funk to his advantage, catching Wahle on two separate occasions in a spladle. In a matchup of future Iowa Hawkeye teammates, Alex Meyer of Iowa got behind early to Illinois Sam Brooks, but Meyer recovered to pick up an impressive 5-3, 5-1 victory. Both were All-Americans last season. Taylor McGiffen, Brad Johnson and Josh Marchock would close out the dual for Illinois, picking up victories at 195, 220 and 285. McGiffen, a Campbell signee, topped Marcus Harrington 2-1, 7-0. Johnson topped fellow All-American Willie Miklus, a Missour signee, 0-7, 4-4, 4-2 at 220 and Stanford commit Marchok beat All-American Joe Scanlan 2-1, 2-0. Jabari Moody, Cortez, Richards, Brill, Robertson, McGiffen, Johnson and Marchok all finished the freestyle portion of the event undefeated for Illinois, while Iowas Ryan and Koethe went through the tournament unscathed.

An Open Letter to Eve Ensler
Dear Eve Ensler,
I want to start off by saying thank you. I appreciate the time you took to reach out to me, because I know you're incredibly busy. I know there are much more important people in this world than myself, so I appreciate you engaging in dialogue with me and my colleague Kelleigh Driscoll.
This all started because on Twitter, I addressed some issues that I had with V-Day, your organization, and the way it treated Indigenous women in Canada. I said that you are racist and dismissive of Indigenous people. You wrote to me that you were upset that I would suggest this, and not even 24 hours later you were on the Joy Behar Show referring to your chemotherapy treatment as a "Shamanistic exercise".
Your organization took a photo of Ashley Callingbull, and used it to promote V-Day Canada and One Billion Rising, without her consent. You then wrote the word "vanishing" on the photo, and implied that Indigenous women are disappearing, and inherently suggested that we are in some type of dire need of your saving. You then said that Indigenous women were V-Day Canada's "spotlight". V-Day completely ignored the fact that February 14th is an iconic day for Indigenous women in Canada, and marches, vigils, and rallies had already been happening for decades to honor the missing and murdered Indigenous women. You repeatedly in our conversation insisted that you had absolutely no idea that these events were already taking place. So then, what were you spotlighting? When Kelleigh brought up that it was problematic for you to be completely unaware that this date is important to the women you're spotlighting, your managing director Cecile Lipworth became extremely defensive and responded with "Well, every date on the Calendar has importance." This is not an acceptable response.
When women in Canada brought up these exact issues, V-Day responded to them by deleting the comment threads that were on Facebook. For a person and organization who works to end violence against women, this is certainly the opposite of that. Although I'm specifically addressing V-Day, this is not an isolated incident. This is something that Indigenous women constantly face. This erasure of identity and white, colonial, feminism is in fact, a form of violence against us. The exploitation and cultural appropriation creates and excuses the violence done to us.
When I told you that your white, colonial, feminism is hurting us, you started crying. Eve, you are not the victim here. This is also part of the pattern which is a problem: Indigenous women are constantly trying to explain all of these issues, and are constantly met with "Why are you attacking me?!" This is not being a good ally.
You asked me what would it mean to be a good ally. It would have meant stepping back, giving up the V-Day platform, and attending the marches and vigils. It would have meant putting aside the One Billion Rising privilege and participating in what the Indigenous women felt was important.
At the end of our conversation you offered me the opportunity to join V-Day. Offered me money. Offered me to become a spokesperson for Native American women. These are things I am not interested in. I do not want to be part of the white savior industrial complex, and I never want to duplicate saviorism and colonialism within my own organization, Save Wiyabi Project, and I'm surely not interested in selling my soul and integrity for a bit of cash and perceived prestige.
I'm not here to speak for Ashley and how she felt about her photo being used, and I'm not here to speak for the Indigenous women in Canada. Indigenous women in the United States and Canada have agency, self determination, and are quite capable of telling their own stories, and have been doing so for thousands of years. We are aware of the violence we face, and are also aware this just isn't about individual acts of violence. We expect not only our bodies, but our agency, work, and contributions to be respected. None of this is new, and we do not need a white person to legitimize our history and existence.
I entered this conversation with uneasy feelings about V-Day and your work, and left feeling completely dismissed – much like the Indigenous women in Canada. You might have been listening to what I was saying, but you definitely didn't hear me. You dumped all of my concerns onto someone else and did not take personal responsibility for anything. Eve, this is YOUR organization. My hope is that you do some self examination about what's happening here. You have to see this before you continue doing this work because this is epistemic and imperial violence. Your actions are assisting violence, not ending it.

We have stayed here twice now, and can't say enough about the hospitality provided by Angela and Antonis and their family. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the rooftop terrace is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenic view over the water. It's excellent value for the money, and we hope to return again soon.
