concerned smoker
I am 26 & smoke. I have ALWAYS been sick, to the point where my family thinks i should live in a bubble. Migraine headaches 3-4 a week, and I am prone to getting UTI's & Kidney indfections. I have lumps growing in my Pirotid & salivary glands. Vitamin B12 & D deficient, & dont absorb the pills, so I have to get shots. I have had surgery to remove my gallbladder & still had problems after, so they did an Endiscopy & found ulcers, Esophagitis, & gastroenteritis. I also have had surgery to remove Endometriosis, which is something that grows on your uterus & causes severe pain during your periods. I also have slipped, herniated & bulging discs all over my spine, and problems w my tailbone. Basically i have more health issues than most 50 year olds. My most recent complaint on top of everything else are the problems with my throat CONSTANTLY. Swollen glands, loss of voice, (I sound like a dude), not able to swallow anything, drooling, tiredness, earaches, migraines, loss of appetite, weakness, & of course the junk growing all over the back, and its not strep, I fail the tests everytime. Actually when they swab my throat when I get these infections, I dont even feel them touching it, no gab refelx or anything, but its so unbelievably sore. It got really really bad about a year ago, when my throat closed, and they thought I might have Epiglotitis. Scared the crap out of me. I have probably had 15 throat infections since then, which the doctors can NEVER diagnose, or what i like to call "DIAG-NONSENSE". Recently though my PCP said its time to see the ENT, which I was thankful to get the referral, but felt like i was being dumped on someone else. So I went & he said that my tonsils need to be removed, but I smoke so he wouldnt remove them unless i quit smoking for 6 weeks prior to surgery. Thats fine, give me a surgery date & i'll quit, but then there was the issue with the lump in my piroitd gland, which he seemed more concerned with than my tonsils being so large and inflammed, they were touching, and again it felt like my throat was about to close. I had to have an ultrasound on the gland, which came back slightly abnormal, and now I have to have it checked every 4 months to make sure its not getting bigger or cancerous. If it does, then I have to have a biopsy on it, which btw, can cause partial paralysis in your face. Awesome right? I just want to feel better and not be sick anymore. I dont want anymore health issues or doctors poking at me. So i guess my question to all of you who have had their tonsils removed is, did any of you smoke cigerettes? I have been smoking for 15 years, so its not something that will happen over night & it takes forever to get a surgery date. I just want to make sure that if i go through hell of having my tonsils removed that its not going to be harder for me because I have smoked for so long, or should I just find another ENT who WILL take them out now? I too have zero tolerence for pain, I have 2 kids and got the epidural with both kids, and both times it failed & ended up having natural childbirth. Felt everything. It was awful and they kept asking me to stop screaming because I was scaring the other patients! When i was having gall bladder attacks, they put me in the Psych ward of the ER because again I was screaming so much i was scaring the other patients. When i cracked my head open and needed 4 staples & 3 stitches, they put someone in the same room with me, and they walked out of the hopsital because I was screaming. I think the point im trying to make is me and pain dont mix, and if i'm in pain, i'm going to be screaming! I am so nervous about having them taken out, but at the same time, I dont EVER want to go through the scariness of having my throat close and not being able to breathe, or the agony i experience when i get the infections, so is quitting smoking & this pain going to be worth it? Did i also mention that i'm allergic to penicillin & Z-packs, and have taken bactrum so many times in the past year that i'm immune to it now? It literally no longer fights any innfection. I'm rambling at this point, but any suggestions anyone might have please let me know.

Many different procedures
As I was reading all of the comments listed here I noticed that there were several people who made the statement that they were fine afterward and it was because of their pain threshold. I could not see how there was so much of a discrepancy and I investigated. http://www.entnet.org/HealthInformation/tonsillectomyProcedures.cfm This link says that there are eight different procedures for removing the tonsils. Some cause less pain, some cause a lot more. Discuss with your doctor which procedure will be used and that will also give you some insight into what to expect.
I need to go to my ENT and face the music. It is time for mine to take a hike. My story is exactly like most on here, so I will not go into detail. I also wanted to say thanks to the writer of this article! It gave a very real account of what to expect I am afraid!

Tonsils and Adenoids taken out at age 35
I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out five years ago when I was 35 years old. The surgery was done on a Friday, April 1st, which happened to be April Fools Day. Anyways, the surgery and the recovery went well, so I was hoping that the procedure would be an inpatient/outpatient but as it turned out; my blood pressure began to rise while I was in the recovery room so I had to spend the night in the hospital. I was dismissed on Saturday April 2nd and I was back at work on Monday, April 11th. I was a little scared before having the surgery, but looking back I am glad I did.

Remove your tonsils before 10
Annecal, thanks for the enlightenment, I am 56 years old and on day 10 after having my tonsils and adenoids removed. I had finally had enough due to constant bouts (every 45 days) of Strep and I too had to find a doctor who I could convince (threaten) to perform the procedure. I agree that the younger the better and get those nasty things removed as a child. Your comparison of swallowing ground glass is close to what I felt like except that I would add that my eardrums also felt as it someone was piercing them with ice picks every time I tried to swallow.
I found that heavily drugged and sleeping was the best way to spend the first week and have a vaporizer running on high within a couple feet of your face to keep from drying out while you are dreaming of eating solid food again someday.
This surgery makes you appreciate the little things in life, like breathing, swallowing and even talking without tears welling up in your eyes.
So, all of you mom's and dad's out there, if a doctor suggests your kid should have their tonsils out, please do not hesitate for one second....do it!!!!

could you tell me plz.......
Hi, Thks for your story...((By the way your family sounds awesome)) i was wondering.... i am a 44 yr old female and i have had trouble with my tonsils since childhood...this past year 2010 tonsillitis 6 times in 8 months sometimes having to take 2 rounds of antibiotics. i went today to a ((ENT)) today that i really was very comfortable with ...he was brutally honest though and told me that War war 3 Iraq and Iran doesn't have nothing pain wise to what i will go through...i am a chronic pain patient due to my back being completely broken in half and 2 back surgery's and 16 steel rods later i am on high powered medicine...he said he would probably have to give me boat loads of dilaudid, but without a doubt they need to come out....i have slept in a recliner for the past 4 yrs because i cannot lay flat and i am very worried about the pain level....so i guess my question to you is just how painful was it!!!! the doctor is letting me think about it, he told me to go online and read some forums about adult's getting there tonsils taken out. i just want to understand how pinful it is....thanks for your time.

Agreed it is a pain!
M daughter had her tonsils out in December at age 18. She didn't get sick often but when she did it was always in her tonsils and she would have extreme pain and difficulty swallowing. She was difficult to understand when she would talk, very muffled. After the last bout of tonsillitis she developed a loud snore/gargle at night and had difficulty swallowing food. She often was tired and this was due to poor sleep due to snoring. I knew she had to get them out before she went off to college when she would be more prone to becoming sick. After the surgery the doctor told me that they were the largest set of tonsils he has ever removed from a woman and he has been doing this for 20 years. He reassured me that this was necessary and it will be worth it. Her recovery was as listed by others, very very painful. I took off of work for a week to be with her 24/7 and it wasn't fun! I set her alarm for every 4 hours and we would give her liquid percocet around the clock. The key is to stay on top of the pain before it has a chance to increase. Swallowing is also key to recovery. As painful as it is, it helps the muscle heal. I was constantly on her to have popscicles and anything else she could tollerate but it is hard due to the fact the you really have no appetite and it plain hurts to eat. Just when you think you can start weaning off the drugs you get to day 7 when the scab falls off. It is back to pain meds every 4 hours. She was back in school 10 days post op and feeling almost herself. It has been 7 months and looking back it was WORTH it! She sounds so much clearer in her speech, hasn't been sick 1 day since and her sleep is snore-free and better quality. When you have tonsils such as described in these posts they need to come out because they are not functioning and are making you sick! Good luck, the sooner the better!

I am scheduled to have my tonsils removed, and possible adeniods out (I am 22) and am now scared out of my mind. I have had 7 cases of strep/tonsillitis, always tired, ear aches, and also obstructive sleep apnea which results in severe migraines in the morning and sometimes through-out the day. Ugh.. I work in customer service and am only able to have a week off. I have a feeling this is going to suck.

Would you suggest?
I'm sure it's been a while since you had your tonsils removed. Would you suggest that with a person like me... I get sick 2 or 3 times a year with a cold or flu and my tonsils swell up from it... And stay swollen a week to 2 weeks after I get over the cold... Then when I get upset I get a slightly soar throat and again my tonsils swell up for about a week to 2 weeks. Do you think I should rmove them?

i agree.
I'm 15 and i just had my tonsils took out the 16th of February and this is my second week. I've stayed out of school. and this is the first time I've been able to even try to eat anything but my breath is horrible is there anything i can do to make the scabs go away faster.? i still am taking my pain medications and amoxicillon when i wake up it hurts terribly. and every time i try to swallow or eat anything it send very sharp pains to my ears that feel like pain i can't even describe. i do not remember the surgery at all. and the thing that hangs down in my throat was very swollen for about a week. i also had my adenoids removed but my nose didn't ever hurt other than the day of the surgery blood was coming out of my nose and throat. i feel like i'm starving right now but i still am not able to eat any solids and it hurts to drink.

Pain, to say the Least!!!
I am a 27 year old working, single, mother of two and just recenently (8 days ago), had my tonsils and adenoids removed, along with having a turbinate reduction on the left and right side of my nose. This by far, has been the most painful surgery I've ever experienced! My ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist), had explained before the procedure that the results would be very worhtwhile, but I would need to endure quite a bit of pain before seeing the positive outcome. HOLY SMOKES!!!! I never, ever, anticipated the pain being so horrific! I know exactly what you went through and just keep telling myself to hang in there. My parents, who the kids and I are staying with while I'm recovering, have been completely baffled, walking around with confused expressions on their faces. All this, until we began researching topics about the severity of pain with this procedure. I think they now understand why I've been in so much pain, and so sick, exhausted, irritable, hungry, and emotional. This is not a surgery for adults! I thank you for sharing your experience. Not only did it help my family understand, (to an extent), what I'm going through, but it also has kept me from becoming too discouraged.

Re: thank you
i'm 18 too. i've always had large tonsils and just recently the right on has been swollen and its very painful to swallow. my voice sounds very strange like there's something stuck in my throat. my dr. is very unhelpful and unable to diagnose what i have...i think it will probably be best to get them taken out. was your surgery very painful? all of these other people are a bit older so i was wondering if 18 still counted as early and therefore a less painful time to get them taken out.

about to have this done soon
Thanx for the truthful article. The ENT department at the VA in chicago has been screwing me around and around about my adenoids and tonsils. When they first saw my adenoids were swollen and ears were hurting real bad, their first response was to send me and my wife of 30 years for an hiv/aids test, because "adenoids only swell up in men when they have been exposed to hiv." Needless to say, we were both negative, and then the ENT department wanted to do biopsies and all other kinds of crap before I ended up seeing an outside physician who told me that my adenoids and tonsils probably need to be removed. Your article helped me to see that I have similar symptoms as others who commented on your piece, and how they coped with it. Now its back to the VA for me, hopefully to find new personnel in the ENT department (they rotate out every 4 months, its a teaching hospital) who can address my needs and safely perform this surgery. Thanx again!

I am a 43 year old female tomorrow will be one week since I had my tonsila and adnoids removed, I have had a couple of back surgerys, where they have pins and rods in my back and I honestly think this tonsil think has been worse on me, My doctor gave me hydrocodine, throat numbing spray and liquid antibiotic. All this does help coz I can tell when the pain pills are wearing off, but I am in constant pain, my throat, my tonge, my cheek bones and my ears, when I try to get sleep as soon as I doze off, I get choked and start coughing and it feels like I am having my throat ripped out, oh yea, I also have almost a constant headache. this is day 6 and I have already cried a couple times today, I wish I would have never had this done, the reason I went thru with this is because my ENT doc said one of my tonsils was 3 times bigger than the other and he was afraid it might be cancer, my grandma had to have her voice box removed because of cancer, anyway does anyone know how long this agnizing pain is going to last, I am losing weight like crazy, I can't even eat runny mashed potatoes without giving up coz my throat feels like its on fire, the hospital called and said it would be 3 to 4 weeks. This is just umbearable. I am living on ice water and watermelon.

Re: Re: My tonsils are gone and I'm very very pleased
Thank you for the good thoughts about this surgery. I have had reoccuring bouts of fever, sore throats, infection, etc. for the last year. My quality of life has taken a dramatic turn for the worse...I don't want to do anything because I feel so bad most of the time. I will be going to see an ENT in Little Rock, AR next week for a second opionion (the one in Pine Bluff seems to think I need the tonsils to come out, just want a second opinion). I know I will hurt for a while after surgery, but if that is what it takes for me to get my quality of life back, then so be it. Thank you again.

Re: Re: Re: Tonsils out as an adult
I am 34yo female who just had the surgery on Aug 15,08 and I can say that after reading the stories on here we are very different but have the same problems... It is still week 1 for me and it has been really horrible I have a high tolerance for pain, but this pain gosh has been really really hard on me I have lost 11 lbs in a week cause its been really hard to eat or drink the first couple of days I was ok taking a lot of darvocet day 5 and 6 I have barely been able to eat or drink I feel as though I have some soars all over the back of my tongue that I can't see, but when I do drink water or eat soup it burns really bad so I would rather not even deal with it at all... I am drinking water this morning I am also feeling like the left side of my tonsil and tongue are on fire I have called the Dr.s office for I do go to the Dr. in the afternoon on Fri. She has called me some lidocane which numbs the entire mouth for a few mins....you swish it around and swallow it if you can hack it...I will say the only thing I have been able to drink or eat in the last 3 days is coffee from starbucks and banana nut loaf from there as well it goes down smooth.. The way that I feel and the pain that I have gone through I would say as an adult deal with the soar throats, But on the other hand when or how ever its gonna take me to heal I am sure that I am glad I had this done...But Beware as an adult it is soo much different then your kids...My 13yo had hers done in March and was feeling better by the 5th day!!! Our bodies are so much different so each person will deal with it the best they can, It does help if you have a good support spouse or friend..

Re: Re: Tonsils out as an adult
thank you very much for sharing your story.
One more concern I had before considering the operation was whether loosing your first line of defense (tonsils) made your body more vulnerable to getting sick, ie. more colds?
How has it been for you?

Re: My tonsils are gone and I'm very very pleased
I forgot to mention in my review about my tongue. I too on day two I think, had a horrible sore tongue! I had to keep it away from my teeth. I have an auto-immune disease so I get tongue sores, so I didnt know if it was from a flare-up or from the surgery. It took until today for it to ease up. I had my surgery four days ago.

Outcome of having tonsils removed as adult depends on the person
I am 33 and just had my tonsils taken out this past Tuesday. I heard horror stories and even read the story on here. I had fear for days! While in the prep room, the nurse I had said she was 30 when hers were taken out, which was 4 years ago. She said she was eating turkey and dressing three days later and it was not as bad as everyone wants you to believe. So that gave me a little hope. When I woke up, the thing that hurt the worst was my ears! It wasn't an unbearable pain and neither was my throat. I told her my ears were hurting more so than my throat and she gave me one more shot of pain meds. I was gone 30 minutes later. The pain was like that from when I had strep throat for three weeks straight. So this was nothing! It did not hurt unless I swallowed. Then, I would drink ice water or ice tea. I did find that icecream really sucks to eat after your tonsils are removed. Sounds crazy I know, but, it leaves this thick coating on the back of your throat which makes you struggle to try and clear it. That little thing that hangs down DOES SWELL. I thought I had a wad of snot stuck but looked in my throat and there the huge thing hung! So it feels like you need to suck something down, but you can not. I finally just told myself not to even try and just breath through my nose. I can not lie flat of my back cuz that thing falls to the back of my throat and I can not breath. So I lay on my side to sleep. I ate chicken noodle soup that same day with no problem at all. Popsicles help a lot when it starts to hurt too much. The pain med I think hurt the worst cuz it taste like straight alcohol burning your throat! But it takes all the discomfort away. I was up and doing light housework the next day. I don't mean mopping floors or cooking dinner. I put on clothes to wash, and hung some up and loaded the dishwasher. But I have not been confined to a bed in horrible misery with slime oozing out of my mouth. I can not feel anything in the back of my throat like nasty stuff other than that stupid swollen thing hanging down. The one time it hurt bad enough that I shook was the other night, I strangled on drool in my sleep. Before I could wake up, I coughed really hard like normal and when I came to, it hurt like crazy from the coughing! I took some pain med and got a popsicle and went and sat in a hot bath! Went away in no time. I think this surgery really depends on the pain tolerance of the person. If you know that you can not handle pain, injuries, or other things that cause you discomfort very well, then you will not handle this very well. I set it in my mind before hand that I would not let it confine me. I have found methods of getting my mind off of it when it does hurt. Just take your pain med on a regular basis and eat things like soup, soft baked potato, mashed potatos, and definetly popsicles. Drink plenty of water or tea to keep hydrated. If you get dehydrated, the pain in your throat will get worse. I think that is also where a lot of people mess up. They get afraid to drink cuz of the pain and get dehydrated. A simple scratch will hurt like a serious cut if you are dehydrated. But each person is different when it comes to surgery. You will probably know which one you are before you ever have the surgery.
Good luck to anyone that has it!

Having my tonsils removed
Thank you for your article. I felt as though I was reading a mirror image of my world. You gave me hope. I have an appointment tomorrow with a doctor because I too am having troubles like you describe. I have had this last bout for the last 3 weeks. It has caused me to miss out on holidays with my family, lost time from work, my son's birthday is today and we had to cancel his party because "I am not up to it"...but everyone acts as if I'm crazy. Last year the pain in my neck was so severe at 3 a.m. I went to the ER and they treated me as if I were a drug seeking person...and tried to explain it away with 'you need to lose weight' and all I wanted was for someone to listen to me and find out what was wrong. 2 months later they found I had a pocket of infection behind my left tonsil and lymph node in my neck. But since I was nearly over it...it was, once again, just passed off as "just another throat infection!"
This is totally effecting my life. My husband has to sleep in the next room because I'm up and down all night, coughing, hacking, being restless and hurting.
My friend was married on New Year's ... I had to tell her I couldn't go because "I'm sick..." and got the usual response "AGAIN?" That really hurts... makes me feel like a total loser...once again, have let yet another person down because once again, I'm plagued with illness.
I have been to the doctor 4 times in 3 weeks! Had steroid shots, z-packs, antibiotics (Pills & shots)...cough suppressents and still, I lay here upset, sick and hurting...
I can only hope this ENT tomorrow listens and will pull these things...it's all got to be worth it once you are done with it...Im 42 and am determined to get well and stay that way...
This stuff is making me crazy..I feel as though I'm losing my mind and no one else sees or knows what's going on but me....
Thanks again for your up front information...

- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan , melt caramels and remaining butter over low heat. Stir in the pecans. Pour over crust. Cool.
- For topping, in a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, butter, cream and corn syrup. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Pour over caramel layer. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens.
- Let candy stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 1-in. squares. Store in the refrigerator.
NotesSweet and chewy, these yummy layered squares are a great sweet treat. I have also made this recipe in a 9-inch pie pan and cut it in very small pieces. They're so rich, you'll savor every bite.

No longer cycles to college following bike theft
IN the Guardian you reported that South Cheshire College has received an award for, among other things, "installing a secure bike shelter".
All the latest news and views from the Crewe Guardian
Like us on Facebook
IN the Guardian you reported that South Cheshire College has received an award for, among other things, "installing a secure bike shelter".
THE Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) says that 30,000 homes have been built on greenfield sites due to the Government's new planning rules (the National Planning Policy Framework).
JOHN Knight of the Green Party wrote that Northern Rail had made a massive increase in rail fares by fiddling with off peak conditions and that they operate 'most services in Cheshire', Guardian, September 18.
THE article in the Guardian, September 11, about Cllr Jones' ambition to change the local government of Cheshire by reintroducing a single Cheshire County Council is interesting and might have merit.
A FEW years ago I watched a series of 'specials' on Channel 4 starring psychological illusionist Derren Brown.
I WAS amazed that Cheshire East Council decided to close down all three tennis courts at the Nantwich Barony sports complex for resurfacing in the first week of the Wimbledon fortnight.
FOLLOWING the food scandals of recent years, people are becoming much more aware of what goes into our food.
MUCH has been written about the excessive influence that developers hold over planning applications in the absence of a Local Plan and a five-year supply of housing.
ALCOHOL is estimated to cost society £21 billion a year, made up of NHS costs of £2.7 billion, police and criminal justice £11 billion and loss of productivity £7.3 billion.
The number of fines that have been handed out in the first five years of the Cheshire East Council's existence for littering and dog fouling are derisory, see figures below.
In the past 30 years, journeys of under half a mile made by car have increased by almost 400 per cent.
IT was refreshing to see a letter from someone who is proud to live in Crewe and sees the positives. Like Dee Hunt, I was not born in Crewe, but have lived here for 10 years. Yes, there are plenty of areas which need improving, and there are times when I despair.
IN response to Dr Adrian Heald's letter in the Guardian, March 20 might I suggest that he comes down out of the clouds and rejoins the real world and stops thinking like a politician?
I REFER to the planning application for 170 houses on land bounded by Moorfields and Wistaston Road, Willaston.
As a recent patient of Leighton Hospital A&E major clinic, thank all the team staff who treated me and kept my family informed.
I am pleased the strategic planning board of Cheshire East Council have rejected the proposed Gresty Oaks development of 880 houses on land bounded by Crewe Road, Rope Lane, Gresty Lane and the A500.
It is national policy that as part of the local plan we are required to identify a five-year land supply for the provision of gypsy and travellers and travelling show people sites.
Regarding the letter 'Stop moaning about HS2', February 27, was surprising, in my view. Perhaps Mr Curran has a lot of faith in our politicians.
NOT a week seems to pass without a letter being published in the Guardian from Dr Adrian Heald, the Labour party candidate for Crewe.
I WRITE about in response to 'Historic home to the razed', Guardian, January 23. When I came to Crewe in 1978 to replace Dennis Speed the former chief housing officer, Brooklands House was occupied by elderly people.
THE experience of many bank customers is of poor service and high charges funding the banks' plush office suites in our city centres. Ed Miliband said last week that for an industry that calls itself a 'service', it has been a poor servant of the real economy.
INTRODUCING this week's Pet of the Week – Maxine Lambert's dog Pickle, all ready for a night out.
What is a 'rail hub' (Guardian, January 9) and how is it different from the existing Crewe Station?
I WASN'T a fan of local government reorganisation and the way it was implemented in Cheshire.
I HAVE suffered similar problems to those described by David and Ann Woolf in the Crewe and Nantwich Guardian.
OFFICIAL figures released at the end of this summer have shown that the "in-work" housing benefits bill has more than doubled to £4.6 billion since the Tory-led coalition came to power, as people struggle to survive in austerity Britain.
I AM hopeful that my campaign to save the historic Horse Shoe Inn in Willaston from demolition could be successful.
THIS week, Northern Rail has put up its fares by up to 117 per cent following the phasing out of some of its off-peak fares.
IT IS amazing how Cheshire East Council leader, Michael Jones manages to pick up Labour ideas but years too late.
I'M no Shakespeare scholar but I found a quote from Romeo and Juliet quite apposite this week.
IT is a fact that in November 2013 the clerk of Crewe Town Council was asked by the then Cheshire East town centre manager whether they wanted the Christmas lights.
I WRITE regarding your article "Tax relief for foster carers" Guardian, July 3.
THE Tories have been boasting about the performance of the NHS but official figures paint a different picture.
PUBLICITY for this year's Christian Aid Week has focused on the victims of war and conflict that so often fill the television news screens.
In last week's Guardian, May 1, D Hughes wrote the same letter that he had written to another local newspaper and his facts are all wrong.
I AM proud that our hospital is based in my ward. For years my father worked as a hospital porter and relied on buses to get to there.
READING the letters in the Guardian prompted me to respond. Did any writers read the full article? It was Cheshire East Council who designed the Welcome to Crewe signs and place them in all the wrong places not Crewe town council.
LAST week four horses died at one of the most important events in the racing calendar, the Cheltenham Festival.
I was most interested to read Howard Curran's letter about his father's riddle, Guardian, March 6 and more importantly the disgraceful state of the pavements in Crewe.
The weather was lovely a few Sundays ago so my husband and I decided that we would take a short walk by the River Weaver in Nantwich.
When I was a small boy, I lived in a small terraced house on Wistaston Road. Television was not on the scene and even radio was a bit primitive.
I SUPPOSE it's the prerogative of a Secretary of State for Education to interfere in, well, education, and Michael Gove, the current incumbent, is certainly doing just that.
MANY residents will know the importance of organising their opposition to speculative planning applications, but these campaigns could have been more effective if the structures were in place before the need arose.
I AM writing in response to a letter from prospective labour candidate Adrian Heald (Guardian, January 9) concerning voter apathy 'Every Vote Will Count'.
REGARDING the article 'Call for Memorial Restoration', Guardian, January 9, I would like to add a few lines about the history of the same.
I approached the Cheshire Police Commissioner about his pledge that each village in Cheshire would have a Special Police Officer.
Regarding the article 'Build Rail Hub in Town', Guardian, January 9, what part of 'in town' does Cheshire East Council not understand?
I WAS delighted that Willaston had once again won a Silver Gilt Award in the best small town category for the second year running in the North West in Bloom Competition, falling just short of the Gold Award winners.
New Year message from the Council Leader, Cllr Kevin Hickson AS we enter the New Year I wanted to wish everyone in the town and the wider area of South Cheshire a happy and prosperous New Year.
ONE hundred trees will be planted at a primary school as a lasting memorial to Crewe war heroes.

Arts & Museums
»North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum
The North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum is dedicated to teaching children about the science of fire and fire fighting. There are a number of interactive exhibits, which are designed to teach about fire safety and fire prevention. They also have a large collection of antique fire fighting gear, including old uniforms and a whole fleet of vintage firetrucks.
»American LaFrance Fire Museum & Educational Center
This 25,000 square-foot museum and interactive exhibit/educational playground provides a wealth of information on the history of fire fighting equipment and vehicles, as well as safety and fire prevention programs, assisted by staff dressed as firemen. Adults and children will have plenty to see, touch and hear. Considered one of the finest fire museums in the United States, visitors can view 18 fire trucks from 1857 to 1969, slide down a fire pole, or test one's knowledge, strength and skill at using fire fighting equipment. Located near the Tanger Shopping Outlet Center off Interstate 26, the museum also features a small gift shop and a Charleston Visitor Center information booth. - Natasha Lawrence
»Drayton Hall
Drayton Hall is a National Trust Historic site resting on 630 lovely acres (254 hectares). The building was completed in 1742, and today it stands as a quality example of Georgian-Palladian architecture; in fact it is the oldest surviving example of this architectural style. Owned by the Drayton family for seven generations, the house remains near to its original condition, though it has been through the Revolutionary War and several hurricanes and earthquakes. This is a true piece of history, so come explore the house and enjoy the pastoral grounds. Drayton Hall regularly hosts school field trips and other educational opportunities.
»Greater Charleston Naval Base Memorial
Located on the former Charleston Naval Base in memory of the thousands of military and civilian personnel who served when the base was open and active, this beautiful park on the west side of the Cooper River is well worth a trip off the beaten tourist path. Steel plate photographs of the Navy Yard from 1901 to 1996 are exhibited against a wall that resembles one side of an aircraft carrier. There are plaques, statues of the Lone Sailor and the Homecoming as well as models of the different ships that were built here (256) or called North Charleston home. Visitors can walk the boardwalk along the river, see the modern art exhibits around the park or let their children play on the playground nearby. Admission is free. Free parking is in a nearby lot. Many festivals and community celebrations are held here. - Natasha Lawrence
»HL Hunley Submarine
After a successful attack on the USS Housatonic, a Confederate enemy ship, on the night of February 17, 1864, this US submarine mysteriously disappeared four miles off Charleston Harbor along with her eight crewmen. The HL Hunley Submarine was discovered over 135 years later with the help of modern technology. It has since been raised and is in the process of conservation in a 90,000-gallon tank at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center on the grounds of the former US Navy Base. The crew was ceremoniously buried at Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery. Visitors can view the actual submarine, artifacts and documentaries. There is a small gift shop.
»Summerville Dorchester Museum
Located in a former police department building in the historic district, this small 1993 museum houses exhibits, relics, models and artifacts about the history of Summerville and surrounding area. By appointment, one-hour walking tours are offered by the museum that take visitors past Victorian and pre-Civil War plantation homes (around USD10 adults, USD5 children ages 12-17, and free for children under 12).

Closed New Year's, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. No credit cards; cash and checks accepted; street parking only. -Natasha Lawrence

Located in the Citadel Mall in West Ashley, they boast a huge collection of military gear from American conflicts dating all the way back to the Revolution. They have uniforms, headgear, weapons, flags, patches and more, from all branches of the military. Come see real pieces of American history!

In addition to historical manuscripts, the museum in Charleston makes space available for school programs, art exhibits and community service. All library services are free.
»Macaulay Museum of Dental History
Managed by The Medical University of South Carolina, Macaulay Museum of Dental History highlights the history of oral care. The collections featured at the museum were possessions of Dr. Neill Macaulay who donated it to the university in 1976. The exhibits on display include a dentist's apparatus as well as a replication of a dentist's office from the early 20th Century. Though the museum is located next to the The Waring Historical Library, it doesn't have a separate entrance and can only be accessed though the library.
»Redux Contemporary Art Center
'Art extravaganza' would be the perfect way to describe Redux Contemporary Art Center. This non-profit gallery provides a spotlight for budding artists from all streams of creativity. Exhibitions, artist and curator lecture series, film screenings, classes and workshops, community outreach, are just a few of the activities organized by this center. This vast space provides studio rentals, 24 hour access to a professional darkroom and even print studio facilities. The exhibition space and music venue are equipped with modern amenities that are ideal for any event, be it corporate or private. To witness fine art or to plan an event, this place is an appropriate pick. Street or garage parking.
»Children's Museum of the Lowcountry
Open since 2003 in what was once part of Charleston's 19th Century railroad station complex, The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry now serves as a magnet to curious children aged 3 months to 12 years (and the adults who accompany them) to "explore, play, discover, learn and create." With eight interactive exhibits, the museum's aim is to develop a child's thinking, motor and problem solving skills. There is also a special area for infants and toddlers. Children's classes include science, nature, cooking, gardening, history, drama and art. There's even story time, camps and field trips. It's great fun for the whole family.

Turbo Fruits make something that you hear about too infrequently in the airy, upper echelons of the blogosphere: rock and roll.
The Nashville group, made up of Matt Hearn, Dave McCowen and former Be Your Own Pet member Jonas Stein, propels itself with spirited drum attacks and flailing guitar jams. The raucous, bedheaded rockers' sound isn't mere emulation; instead of mimicking classic garage and surf rock, the group simply picks up where those vintages trailed off. The band's sophomore release, Echo Kid, is a swaggering album that captures a goofy sense of delinquency.
411 E. Sycamore St.
Denton, TX 76205
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Denton
On this tour, the band is joined by like-minded fellow Nashville act, Pujol. Expect a sauntering, brat-lipped party of a live show.

TUAW's Daily Mac App: Translucent
For the most part your Mac just works, but for some of us, we want a little more information on how well our Macs are working and what's doing what, when. That's where apps like the mainstay of the Mac monitors, iStat Pro and iStat Menus come in. Today we'll be taking a quick look at a small, US$2.99 Mac App Store iStat Menus alternative called Translucent.
Translucent sits in your menu bar, just like iStat Menus, providing real-time information on processor utilization, memory and disk usage (including USB mass storage), as well as network activity. You can customize what's shown, the color, the number of CPU cores displayed and a disk activity indicator.
The problem with Translucent, however, is that it takes up between 3 percent to 8 percent of your CPU capacity on its own. Now 3 percent isn't a lot, but if you're interested enough to monitor your computer utilization on a minute-by-minute basis, then you're unlikely to want anything taking up unnecessary resources. The other thing is that because it sits in the menu bar constantly, you're going to want it to look good. It's not that Translucent necessarily looks bad, it's just that the icons and activity monitors don't look sharp and contrast heavily with most of the other well designed icons I have sitting in my menu bar.
While aesthetics come down to personal preference, other donation-ware options, such as the iStat Pro Dashboard widget or the more fully featured $16 iStat Menus, offer more options, look better and use less resources. Translucent is not bad for the price, but there are better alternatives out there.

Ron Kind
Respondng to Ron Kind's Liberal Friends
David Cook recently wrote a rebuttal to my comments and did a great job of highlighting the fundamental differences between the liberal philosohpy of Ron Kind and the conservative Dan Kapanake. Liberals believe that the answer to every problem begins in government. That if the government is simply allowed to siphon enough resources out of the private sector then all our problems will be solved. Conservatives know that is just a Utopian fantasy and not reality at all. Conservative philosophy believes that the people
Is it any wonder more good people don't run for public office?
Just look at the way Senator Bunning of Kentucky is treated for daring to raise objections over the reckless spending in Washington. Ron Kind likes to brag about his support of the "PayGo" law that forces Congress to pay for things by finding cuts in other programs or increasing taxes. The bottom line, according to Ron Kind, is that the Congress must pay for things without adding to the nation's deficit.
On its face it makes perfect sense but what Ron Kind failed to mention to the local media and to the voters of Western Wisconsin is that he and his colleagues also built in a humongous loophole that allows them to essentially pass any spending plan they want and add it to our morbidly obese deficit.
Ron Kind Continues to Bribe the Voters
With unemployment at record levels, several small businesses closing their doors, prices for many goods and services rising, it is amazing to me that politicians like Ron Kind continue to bribe voters with stimulus money that came out of our own pockets.
Ron Kind's Allies Use Character Assassination Instead of Substance
A letter writer from Sparta recently launched a personal attack against congressional candidate Dan Kapanke in the Dunn County News. Instead of discussing issues the writer chose to use false assumptions in an attempt to divert your attention and damage Dan Kapanke's integrity.
Instead of sinking to the Democrat's level of gutter politics I will instead stick to the issues. Here are just a few examples from Ron Kind's voting record:

Isaac turns 2
Local child battling, overcoming rare syndrome
What a difference a year makes.
As Isaac Corbett celebrated his second birthday Oct. 4, his parents marveled at how far he has come since he was diagnosed with Hurler Syndrome last fall.
"One year ago, after receiving the diagnosis, we had very little hope for our child," said Isaac's father, Gabe. "One year ago, he was going backwards, and probably faster than we thought."
A rare genetic disorder, Hurler Syndrome generally takes the lives of its victims at only five to six years of age without treatment. But Isaac was diagnosed at a young enough age for doctors at Duke University Medical Center to perform a bone marrow transplant.
After living seven months in Durham, N.C., while Isaac underwent chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and the transplant, the Corbett family has returned to the Richmond area. "We still head down to Duke about once a month for an infusion," said Isaac's mother, Natalie, "and visit the clinic at MCV every two weeks for a blood draw and exam. . . We no longer have to give him daily infusions, only oral suspension medications."
"We have one resilient child," remarked Gabe.
Not only is Isaac progressing well with his weekly physical and speech therapy, but he is crawling, pulling up to a stand, and learning to climb stairs.
"We also enjoy witnessing his problem-solving skills in action and relish the fact that his mind is functioning well," said Natalie. "When asked what sound a cow, sheep, horse, and dog make, Isaac can respond appropriately.
"However, I am still waiting anxiously to hear him say 'Mama,' rather than continue to be associated with a cow – as Isaac says 'moo' instead."
Although Isaac's parents must take special care to guard against head injuries as Isaac learns to walk, their freedoms are expanding. They can invite a few healthy people into the home at a time, and even bring Isaac inside some other homes.
"We can now go to outdoor restaurants, be in the sunlight 10 minutes a day, and have him try people food again," said Gabe. "What most parents experience in one year of development, we've stretched over two and counting."
The Corbetts said they could not have come this far without the support of many friends and family members, including Gabe's mother, who helps with Isaac several days a week, and Natalie's mother, who lives in the Midwest but visited for several months. Other relatives and friends have helped look after Isaac, supplied food, assisted with household tasks, and volunteered in the community to raise funds for Isaac's care.
For his recent birthday party, about a dozen family members filled the house to watch Isaac eat some cake.
"We had a blast," said Gabe of the occasion. "But he's very picky, [and we] ended up having to put his prized yogurt melts in and on top of the cake for him to even try it."
Following the birthday party, the family packed the car and headed to Duke so Isaac could get his scheduled infusion the next morning. "I guess it's just our life right now," said Gabe.
"There is a lot to keep track of with this busy little guy," Natalie said, noting that Isaac still faces surgeries to correct skeletal abnormalities in addition to the constant monitoring and medications.
"But he amazes us daily with his progress and determination."

In 1871, as an eerie mist rose over the sea, four men committed a ghastly crime. The crew and all the passengers of a clipper ship sank to a watery grave. Their stories remained untold, as an impenetrable fog concealed the grisly secret for generations. But when a boat captain, Nick Castle (Tom Welling), hooks his anchor on an old sea bag and spills its contents, it triggers a series of terrifying events that have deadly consequences on their small island. As artifacts from the past begin washing ashore, the vengeful spirits of their previous owners are unleashed. Also swept up in the disturbing events are Nick's ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth (Maggie Grace), who has recently returned to town, and his sometime squeeze, Stevie (Selma Blair), single mother, keeper of the lighthouse and owner of the local radio station.
