Keith O'Connor, a veteran bowhunter who has taken 23 bucks over the past 33 years with a bow, harvested his first piebald deer on Oct. 10.
O'Connor said he was amazed to see the buck coming down the runway at Antwine Hill behind Crane Pond and nearly missed his opportunity for a shot out of excitement and sheer amazement at the sight of the multi-colored buck. But he calmed himself and stopped him in a shooting lane he had brushed out earlier in the summer, and dropped the buck with a well-placed shot.
The piebald condition is caused by a genetic defect that occurs in less than 1 percent of the deer population. It is characterized by brown and white spots, similar to a pinto horse.
Some deer, like Ethan's, are nearly all white.
In comparison, albinism is the condition where an animal has no pigmentation at all.
A true albino can be told from a totally white pie-bald deer, because its eyes will be pink. This is because — with no pigmentation — the eye color comes from the blood vessels in and behind the eye.
In wild populations approximately 1 in 50,000 whitetail deer are born albinos. Given the population in New York of about 1 million animals, that would mean only about 20 albinos exist in the wild.
At a frequency of less than 1 percent of the herd, piebald deer makeup about 9,000 or 10,000 animals of the 1 million deer in New York State.
According to DEC spokesman Dave Winchell, DEC receives reports of one or two piebald deer being taken by hunters in the Adirondacks each year.

UTC improves to 10-2 overall and evens its SoCon mark at 2-2 with today's win. Elon drops to 11-2 overall and 1-1 in league play. It was the first win over a ranked team in Jeff Clark's second stint at UTC.
The Lady Mocs rebounded after being swept in doubles to post four singles wins. This is the first win for UTC under Clark after being swept in doubles play. The last time the Lady Mocs battled back to win a match after losing the doubles point was a 6-1 win at UT Martin on March 3, 2012. However, UTC did win at least one doubles match in that comeback.
"This was a great win for us," stated Clark. "They are one of the best teams in our conference and it was a battle today. It was a team effort and we battled at every position."
Sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin, Tenn.) clinched the match with her 11th straight victory at No. 2. She was down 3-0 in the second set before battling back to defeat Frida Jansaker (7-5, 6-4). This is the second-straight year Chadwell had defeated Jansaker in the deciding match to win a dual with the Phoenix.
Freshman Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.) started the comeback with a (6-2, 6-0) win over Barbara Lazarova at No. 5. Coots improved to 4-0 at No. 5 and evened the match at 1-1.
UTC took at 2-1 lead with freshman Kayla Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) comeback win at No. 3. She was down a set and 0-3 in the second, when she finally turned it on. Jones went on to defeat Viviana Stravreva (1-6, 6-3, 6-4) to improve to 11-1 in the spring and 22-3 overall.
Senior Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.) put UTC up 3-1 with her (6-3, 6-4) win over Jordan Johnston at No. 1. She avenged a three-set loss to Johnston in last year's meeting and improved to 10-2 in the spring and 15-8 overall.
The Phoenix evened the score at 3-3 with back-to-back wins at No. 4 and No. 6. Sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang, Indonesia) lost for the first time in 11 matches this spring.
UTC stays on the road next week, visiting Mercer on Wednesday, March 13. First serve is set for 2:00 p.m. in Macon, Ga.

Martinsville, Va. (April 7, 2013) – In Friday's qualifying round, Carl Edwards took the No. 99 Fastenal Ford around the circuit's shortest track with a 19.33 second lap (97.96 mph), starting him 9th for today's STP Gas Booster 500.
"I hate to say I'm happy with that lap, but I am," said Edwards. "That was a pretty good lap for me. If we could do it again, we could be faster. The guys made some changes that we wanted. We needed one more run in practice. The warm-up lap I tried something and then the first lap I tried something different and finally the last lap I did what I knew I could do. The car is pretty fast, though. It's faster than I was on that run.
This makes the 6th time Edwards's will start in the top-10 at Martinsville, where he has one top-five and five top-10 finishes.
Coverage of the STP Gas Booster 500 begins today at 12:30 on FOX.

WILLIAMSON — Three words that could accurately sum up the life of Cathy Podunavac would be family, horses and religion.
The ninth and most recent artist signed by the Lyrick Talent Group Inc., sat down with the Daily News to discuss what made her, well, her.
"I've been singing all of my life," the 50-year-old Christian vocalist from Logan said. "My dad was into country music and actually emceed the Buffalo Creek Disaster Benefit Concert back in the 70s at the Field House. He eventually became a preacher and sang gospel."
A well-traveled spirit, Cathy said that she had sang in a number of places, such as a fair in Oklahoma which drew a crowd of 500 and an outdoor singing festival in an Ohio park, where she was the first gospel singer to have performed there.
"People came off of the trails to listen," Cathy said.
After a performance, some artists might say it feels "amazing," or "awesome," to have the crowd applaud at your performance. Not Cathy.
"I'm honored," she said. "To be in that moment, doing what I do, knowing that they got something from it."
A registered nurse at Logan Regional Hospital for nine years, Cathy said that her singing has helped with her job. Specializing in geriatrics, she said that she sings for patients when she has a day off or sings at special events, like Christmas.
However, she had every intention of being a veterinarian instead. A lover of pets, Cathy said she had a "menagerie" of pets, including six horses, three dogs and a pair of cats. And as a youth, she was a horse thief.
"I would 'borrow' the neighbor's horse and down the road I would go," Cathy said with a laugh. "And since everybody knew everybody, my dad would get calls saying 'Hey, your daughter's at it again."
She also said that Tom Petty wrote a song about her.
"'Free Fallin,'" Cathy said, laughing, "was written about me. "'She loves Jesus, and horses too.'" She said that song would be played at her funeral.
But how does it feel to be a professional recording artist?
"Unbelievable," Cathy said. "Pinch me."
But she said she knew there was still a long road to go.
"I was taught that things don't come easy, you have to work for them," she said. "But know Jesus and watch it all be blessed."
And she's dreaming big. Within a year, she expects to see herself on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. And within five years?
"Part of the biggest music ministry," Cathy said. "Not just myself, but with others, Toby Mac, Yolanda Adams, Nicole C. Mullen, taking the world by storm."
And once she makes it to the big time, she said that she would use her music career to open a Christian-based horse ranch and riding stable for troubled youth.
But for now, she's sticking with singing. She began recording her first demo CD yesterday and will be performing at a number of upcoming festivals and church revivals.
With her at Daily News' office was her husband, Scott Podunavac, whom she calls her "honey man." Her husband, Cathy said, was her number one support and number one fan.
"I'm proud of her and what she's doing," Scott said.
A mother of three and grandmother, Cathy was asked to describe her life in a single sentence. She was able to do so in a mere three words.
"I am complete."

8 Habits That Wreck (Even Great) Relationships
8 Habits That Wreck (Even Great) RelationshipsSEE MORE
The wrecking ball: having an affair with his "potential"Wanting your man to be the best version of himself is admirable, but approaching his looks and personality with Extreme Makeover ambition will do little more than erode his self-esteem and leave you both frustrated and resentful. "If you and your partner believe that love means acceptance, pushing him to change and criticizing him is going to send him the opposite message. What he hears is 'you aren't good enough,'" says Nina Atwood, M.Ed., L.P.C., author of Temptations of the Single Girl: The Ten Dating Traps You Must Avoid .
How to rebuild your relationshipThis is where the old 80-20 rule can be used to the benefit of both of you. Spend at least 80 percent of your time together letting your partner know all the things you adore and appreciate about him so that when you mention something you don't like, it doesn't feel like another item on a long list of failures.
The wrecking ball: major mood swingsWe're living in some pretty anxiety-enducing times, and when life takes a stressful turn, it's not uncommon for couples to start taking out that stress on each other. While the occasional mood swing can—and should—be forgiven, being in a relationship with someone whose bad moods outnumber her good ones can make a man run for cover. Wouldn't you do the same?
How to rebuild your relationshipThe next time you catch yourself taking a downturn, take a moment to consider what kind of impact your moods are having on your man and the relationship. "If a woman is too moody, we start to walk on eggshells because we just don't want to deal with the drama," says Matt, 31, of San Diego.
The wrecking ball: gossipTalking to pals about your love life is a normal part of friendship, but if you're calling your BFF, your sister and your mom every time your man pisses you off, you're not only going to wind up embarrassed when the storm passes, you'll also find yourself in a relationship with someone who feels violated and judged. "As a couple, private information should stay private or you risk damaging your reputation as a couple, which in turn may isolate you from others and sever your relationship," says Dan Schawbel, personal branding expert and author of Me: 2.0. Remember that word of mouth is a powerful force, and it can hurt your reputation if your mate or others brand you as untrustworthy."
How to rebuild your relationshipThe next time you log on to his computer and find a Jenna Jameson download, resist the urge to get on the phone and vent to your top five. Instead, sit down and talk things out with the one person who can help you work through it—him. If you're not sure how to approach him about a certain topic, sit down and write him a letter. (Helpful hint: Sit on it for 24 hours to make sure it says what you really want to say and isn't just filled with angry words and blame.)
The wrecking ball: melodramaIf you're calling him in tears every time your coworker irritates you, deleting him from Facebook during every argument and threatening to end the relationship over him leaving the toilet seat up (again!), he might start looking for a new leading lady. "Men have a tendency to really like low-maintenance girls when it comes to relationships," says Kristian, 35, of New York City. "We're pretty lazy in general, and it's exhausting when you need to work so hard to make someone happy and calm them down every day."
How to rebuild your relationshipSave the details of your office drama for brunch with the girls, and the next time you feel your inner Heidi Montag moving center stage, take a deep breath and rate the situation on scale from 1 to 10. If it scores below a 5, let it go and save award-worthy performances for anything above a 9 (cheating, getting drunk and insulting your boss at your holiday party, etc.).
The wrecking ball: "mom-ing" himYour man loves his mama and he loves you, but when you're the one telling him to stop playing Guitar Hero, scoffing at his lack of manners or informing him he can't go out with his pals because he has a "big day tomorrow," it's anything but sexy. He'll not only resent that you're trying to control him, but he'll also likely do what all children do when they're being reprimanded—rebel. "Scolding your mate creates an unhealthy dynamic of parent-child relationship, which automatically puts your partner into a child role and you into the role of mom," says Jeannine Estes, M.A, a marriage and family therapist and author of Relationships in the Raw. "Children often do the opposite when they feel as if they don't have a choice, and this is similar for couples."
How to rebuild your relationship"Instead of scolding or telling him what to do or not do, try to ask for your needs in a clear and respectful way and avoid using the 'mother' tone," says Estes. "Share with your partner the importance of your needs rather than demanding or scoffing at what he has or hasn't done right. Also, scolding him like you are his mother can put you in a parent role, carrying the relationship without any assistance or partnership."
The wrecking ball: too much together timeSpending time with your guy is one of the best parts of being in a relationship, but there's a big difference between bonding and being joined at the hip. "Many men are attracted to secure, independent women," says Stacey Rosenfeld, Ph.D, a New York City psychologist. "Once in relationships, women may tend to become more dependent, to demand more time and attention of their partners. This can represent a problem, as often men need more space than women."
How to rebuild your relationshipRemind your guy of the independent and fabulous woman he was initially attracted to by indulging in your favorite pastimes and enjoying your friends without him every once in a while. By flashing your independence, you'll not only give him a chance to miss you but also have interesting things to share with him when you meet up.
The wrecking ball: jealousyHe lets you know how much he loves you constantly, but that doesn't stop you from checking his phone when he's in the shower or sending every pretty girl he talks to eye-daggers. Although a tiny bit of jealousy in a relationship is normal, accusing your man of cheating and questioning his whereabouts every time he walks in will have him feeling controlled, manipulated and insulted. "Jealousy in a relationship, or even personally, is the spiritual equivalent of dumping hydrochloric acid on the person," says 33-year-old Marc from Los Angeles. "Just sit back and prepare for the disintegration."
How to rebuild your relationshipUnless your man has said or done things to make you suspicious, your jealousy is more about your relationship with yourself than you two as a couple. Back away from his computer and check out your own history. Were you betrayed in the past? Did you grow up in a household where the fidelity vows were broken? There might be ways in which you are allowing unresolved issues from your past to dictate your present behavior. If you don't feel you can overcome the green monster on your own, don't be afraid to reach out to a qualified counselor who can help you identify the sources of your insecurity and work through them.
The wrecking ball: getting too comfortableIn the beginning of a relationship, both parties make sure to look and act their best, but as time moves on, the sweatpants come out and routine takes over. "People tend to get lazy in their relationships, and while it's good to be comfortable, no one wants to be boring or to be bored," says Lissa Coffey, author of What's Your Dosha, Baby? Discover the Vedic Way for Compatibility in Life and Love .
How to rebuild your relationshipMen love to be seduced and romanced as much as we do, and part of what makes the courtship phase of relationships so fun is the experience of uncovering the mystery of another and trying new things together. "When a woman stops making an effort to look nice for her man and expects him to take care of all the stuff in the romance department, a man begins to feel taken for granted and thinks that she doesn't care about impressing him anymore," says Brian, 30, of New York City. Show your guy he's still worth the effort by surprising him with a break from the ratty T-shirt you wear to bed, a sweet note or planning a special night out for him "just because." He'll not only appreciate it, he'll also reciprocate—and that's a give and take to get excited about.

Aggie football is kind of a big deal. Especially in my house. Growing up in College Station meant that on game nights, my mom went to the grocery store, bought a few select ingredients and prepared my dad's favorite meals. One of the best sides she would prepare was hummus. I remember asking one time what her hummus was made out of. All I knew was that she put a bunch of ingredients into a blender and came out with a dip that was nothing short of addicting. Apparently, the main ingredient is a weird type of bean…chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans. Slap that stuff on a chip, add some tabasco sauce, and my dad was one happy camper. One day I will share the secret hummus recipe. But today, I want to share with you a recipe that was born out of my love of chick peas. It's a chick pea salad, and it's one of the easiest things I know how to make.
The ingredients you will need are:
•1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or fresh chick peas cooked and rinsed)
• About 1 pint grape tomatoes, rinsed and halved
• 25 large basil leaves, chopped (preferably fresh)
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 T red wine vinegar
• 1 T apple cider vinegar
• 2 t olive oil
• 1/2 T honey (10g)
• pinch of salt
Combine all of the ingredients together into one bowl and let sit for about 20 minutes, at room temperature or in the fridge. While setting, the juices will be drawn out and flavors will merge. After 20 minutes, this meal is ready to serve!
This is a great option for game day as well. The salad can be eaten like a dip, put onto chips, or eaten by itself as a main dish.

Advice on a new carry piece
I love my USP Compact .45. But, "Compact," is something of a misnomer. I've been shopping for the last several weeks for a new piece, and I'm homing in on one of 2 models. So, I'm soliciting advice or recommendations from Bullies.
The two guns I have in consideration, right now, are the Ruger LCP .380 and the Kel Tec PF-9. I'm leaning towards the PF-9: bigger faster holes with more ubiquitous ammo, about the same size, and about $100 cheaper. Also, slightly taller so my pinky doesn't feel left out.
I'm looking for something about the $300 mark, so SIG and Kahr are pretty much right out of consideration.
Is there anything else I should consider in this range, and do you knowledgeable bullies have success/horror stories about either of the above two weapons (I saw Phrost's trigger problem with his PF-9, for example)?

I happily carried a 9mm Makarov for several years. It was light, easily concealed, and the round is a bit hotter than a standard 9mm. The safety is built like a tank so I was comfortable carrying with the hammer back.
I now carry a USP compact 45 :-) . I'm 6'5 so it easier for me I guess.

A coworker of mine has the Kel Tec PF9, it's a good little pistol for carry. Just keep in mind that the 9 mm isn't going to have the stopping power that the .45 has, so shot placement is going to be critical (which it should be anyway).
Now if you don't mind a revolver, Rossi has a nice little 5 shot .38 special snubby. MSRP is about $400, but I've also seen them go for much less than that at several gun shows. It's small, combat, and with the +P rounds, packs a punch.
Glock has a .40 S&W subcompact that's fairly nice. It may be a little bit more than you're wanting to spend, but well worth the money IMO. You can get a grip extender for the glock that helps provide the pinky a home.

Just picked up a Springfield LtWt Champion Operator 45 (ok, not real compact but small and flat enough to carry, especially if you are my size). Thing is a freaking lazer beam. Also got a Beretta PX4 Sub in 40. A bit chubby for some, not slim like a Walther PPS but great for my hands. Hides nice and am using it a lot.
Yeah, I'm not a big guy - 5'11" and 165 lbs soaking wet. I've tried to ankle-holster the USP Compact in my boots, but no, it's just too big. I carry IWB when I can get away with it. But, this is South Florida. I can wear shorts pretty much all year. Whatever I get has to be pretty small.
If I could find one at the right price, I would try an AMT .45 Backup. I held a used one a few months back, and it seemed just right. I'm all for not complicating my life with multiple cartridges, but I also want to carry daily, comfortably, and inexpensively.
(edit) I can get the PF-9 new under $300, including all taxes and fees... So, I'm really, really leaning for this gun.

Kel-Tec is known for being pretty customer friendly. My friend had a problem with one of his, he sent it back and they fixed it right up for him and when he got it back there weren't ever any other problems. He has owned the PF11 and one of their rifles. Because I have been hearing about his experiences with them I have been leaning towards buying a PF9 or PF11 for a while. I have similar issues concealing a gun on my skinny ass in the summer time.
You looked at the Ruger LC9?
The LC-9 looks great, but, besides being out of my budgeted price range, it's a brand-new gun. I don't want to run into the sort of early adopter issues that PF-9 owners did, a few years back.
(edit) this is exactly the kind of input I'm looking for, though - thanks.

The Hazard-Perry little league is experiencing a youth movement this year, and as a result they had to split their 9- and 10-year-old team into two squads. On Saturday, the 9-year-olds opened the little league all-star tournament with the 9- and 10-year-olds from Tri-City.
Hazard-Perry started the game strong, crossing the plate four times in the first inning. Hazard-Perry had but one hit in the frame (Gavin Clutts), and scored all three runs on wild pitches.
Hazard-Perry tacked on another run in the second inning, giving them the 5-0 lead. Andrew Combs opened the rally with a triple, and later scored on a wild pitch.
Tri-City was able to pick up a run in the third inning, but it was negated by Hazard-Perry's two runs (7-1). Gavin Clutts would score his second run of the game after receiving a walk. Matt Goins brought Clutts home with a single, and would later score on a hit by Hank Pelfrey.
Hazard-Perry went up 8-1 in the fourth inning. Andrew Combs scored his third run of the game, using a walk and a stolen base to score on a Mason McAlarnis double.
Tri-City tried to rally in the fifth inning, but was cut short at two runs (8-3). Hazard-Perry showed their opponent what a rally should look like as they ended the game early with a five-run rally. Andrew Combs scored his fourth run of the night, while Mason McAlarnis got the hit that brought the game to an end. Hazard-Perry continued in the championship bracket with the 13-3 win.
Hazard-Perry (13) Wyatt Hensley 1 run, Andrew Combs 2 hits and 4 runs, Logan Thomas 1 hit and 2 runs, Mason McAlarnis 2 hits and 1 run, Gavin Clutts 1 hit and 2 runs, Max Johnson 1 run, Jayden Bailey 1 run, Matt Goins 1 hit and 1 run, Hank Pelfrey 2 hits and Nick Whitaker 1 run.
Tri-City (3) Tye Howard 1 run, Josh Whitehead 2 hits and 1 run, Chase Gladsen 1 hit, Chandler Smith 1 hit, Justin Moyer 1 hit and Josh Swanner 1 run.

Its interesting that you say lucky as much of the game mechanics of candy crush is luck. If it wants you to win it will let you rather than your skill (which the games makes you believe in the first easiest levels). I am interesting how much time you think you have spent playing candy crush eurafega in order to have finished level 350?
I wrote an article on the addictive nature of candy crush which can be found here:

SInce I have spent so little, this will be the one time I win. I have spent .99 to date and don't intend to spend a penny more. I am currently on level 90.
Never. I've heard that people get really in to this game and get frustrated so I stay away. It's like looking to get kicked in the face.
One of the bloggers posted the tip to change the time on your phone to get more tickets. Just don't forget to set the time back afterwards. I don't play much so I haven't spent any money yet. I'm only on level 38. I believe my wife is close to spending some money because she has been stuck on level 65 for a long, long time.
$13.79... :(
Well.... To be honest I haven't spent a dime since I do not play the game, BUT I purchased an iPad recently for my mom and linked my iTunes acct & credit card to it to "get her started" with apps. I checked my bank acct online at the end of May and she racked up $38 on Candy Crush in app purchases. I never even mentioned it cause it's like they say.... You only get one mom in life and I love her. :)
This is kind of embarrassing but here goes...
I've spent a total of $31.36; My most frequent in-app purchase were those cute, little lollipops (and maybe I licked the screen once - maybe); Those cute, little lollipops were also my single biggest purchase. Just know that I play on my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro... I even purchased Facebook credits.
I have a serious problem. :|
What is candy crush?
Oh, I play my five lives in the morning and when I wasn't working I was playing my one life every half hour, that was for a couple weeks now I play my fiver was after work and five before bed. I'm on level 100, never used the time cheat and haven't spent any money on it at all. I only spammed my Facebook friends that play it as well so it usually only takes me about an hour tops to get into the next set of levels.
Never spend any money, level 275, patience is the key and a little bit of luck, 3 months already played this addictive game
Never even installed the game. Not interested in it
you should see how much people have spent on clash of clans on in app purchases!!
As of today, I have spent $21.33 on Candy Crush. I mainly purchase extra moves and the most I have paid at one time was $9.00 for extra moves. Curse you Candy Crush and that one or two extra moves needed to pass that level. I hate when you have been playing a certain level for a while and then you only need a couple more moves to beat it. Then of course it turns into a couple more and couple more.
Just went through my iTunes receipt emails. As of right now I'm at $38.96. Just started playing last weekend. I'm such a sucker. Not a lot of free gaming time, so I play before bed for 20 minutes... I just have no patience. If I can't beat a level, I just buy my way out of it.
omg Kevin! I've only spent a few bucks to unlock more levels. But I also end up being stuck on levels for weeks at a time...
Weeks at a time?! That's crazy. I can't stand being stuck for more than three tries.
Three tries?!?!? omg. You're gonna end up spending thousands on this game.
I refuse to spend money on a game that doesn't reward the player, I would rather buy the game then get a few power ups for free and then I might be more obliged to buy other power ups and cool items but when everything costs money and you can only use it for that level seems kind of greedy to me.
I try not to spend anything but at this point it's been about $7.... and they were all for more moves. I don't like moving on from a level till i get 3 stars lol... i'm currently on 108
I used to care about getting 3 stars when I first started playing. That lasted until level 123+, then I could care less as long as I passed. Some levels are damn difficult and your lucky to get the 1 star.
Wow..........just wow. I am speechless at that amount myself!!
I haven't added it up, but I'm around 10-15 dollars. I quit buying power ups and extra moves, now I just stick to buying the new levels.
$15 unfortunately... I was moderately relieved cuz I thought I was closer to $20, but I haven't paid in more than 2 weeks, and I'm not paying another penny.
I'm trying not to think about it... I'm on level 313 though.... None of my Facebook friends are this high within the levels, so I don't have any scores but my own to beat.
At least a $100....or more. :( IM SORRY! No one yell at me! lol. For real tho...don't :( I know it was stupid. I didn't realize until it was too late. I thought to myself "What's 99 cents?" "That's hardly any thing" "Lolly pop only 1.99? I'll just buy it a couple of times". But since then I have stopped doing that. I just bought an iMac for the first time and that's not cheap. So I have my priorities all back and in check.
I have spent around $20 and I'm on level 70.
I'm on level 96 and I haven't spent a dime. Zip, Zero, Zilch. I personally dislike the freemium model though. I would prefer to have paid up front for the game. I don't like when apps try to nickel and dime me to play them. Unfortunately it is a very addicting game though so I am hooked.
"There's a sucker born every minute." P.T. Barnum
Unfortunately, I'm nearing $200. :( Have quit paying for anything now. Was purchasing color bombs to achieve 3 stars on some levels. Am on level 82 with all three stars on every level. Purchased the coconut wheel ($3.99) several times until I heard some people get them sometimes for free. Have had to pay .99 cents to enter next world every time and now my girlfriend told me she's never had to. I think Candy Crush must know I'm an idiot and doesn't give me free anything. My girlfriend has never paid anything. I am going to call Apple as I swear I haven't purchased as much as I have been billed for. I bet iMore didn't expect to see this kind of nonsense when they made the offer to pay one off. Wish I didn't have to report that high of a number. Maybe it's the first step in recovery. lol
$AU4. Level 20. I feel dirty. :)
Probably about $50 or so all using iTunes gift cards, but its more than I should have spent :-( That game is so frustrating yet so addictive!
I have only spent $1.98. Initially I refused to link the game to my Facebook account because I didn't want the app to be spamming my friends with game invites. I hate getting those so I didn't want the app doing that to my friends. Because of that I spent .99 to move to the next episode. It was either spend the money or ask my Facebook friends. I chose to spend the money since it was only .99. Later on I was stuck on a level for days and days if not weeks. I got so close to clearing the level once that I thought if I bought some extra moves that I would finally clear the level. Therefore I spent another .99 but unfortunately I still didn't clear the level with the extra moves. :(
I finally decided to link the game to my Facebook account and to my knowledge it only sends requests to people I select. I only send requests to ask for tickets to advance to the next level. Many friends that play automatically send me extra lives and moves without me even asking. Because of this I will no longer spend any money on the game. I'm currently on level 92. I may be there a while but I'll eventually pass it with enough tries, a little bit of luck and NO money!!! :)
Zero dollars and zero cents! However, level 65 gave me diabetes. But after three weeks of that nonsense I am back on track and on level 91. It's basically CandyLand for adults.
42.96 DDDDDDD: I BOUGHT THAT STRIPED CANDY THING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. Biggest mistake of my life. The game isn't even fun anymore. I also bought about three or four extra moves because I got stuck really badly on levels 38 and 50. My mom still hasn't found out, and it would be really helpful if I got all of that paid off :)
I have spent exactly $0.99 dollars.....BUT.... I'm waiting for a new iPhone update because I already finished level 350..... Yeah, I'm that good... and lucky...
I have a bunch of Facebook friends who are as me, so I have never had a shortage of lifes or the need to buy tickets... The only time I spent on the game was when I got stuck on one level (don't remember it now) which I had tried 68 TIMES! So I had to buy those extra moves to finish it...
I've never even heard of this game... doesn't sound like I'm going to bother either.
$0. Got to around level 70 and gave up. I despise freemium games and don't pay on principle. I don't have the patience like my wife does to play the same level over and over again.
At least $40-$60 easy.
I am absolutely ashamed to say, I'm not sure the exact number, but I was just going through my iTunes receipts, and I had to stop myself at April 19th, my tally is $262.66. I couldn't keep going because, who spends $300 on a game? I didn't realize how much I was spending until you posted this, I was curious. what's a couple bucks here and there.... I'm averaging at least $75 a month. The lollipop hammers are what get me.
I know exactly how you feel ...You could go out and buy you a really neat game system or so much for what we have spent on a silly game . Plus you would thing King gamed would either at the very least send a thank you letter but to me they should do something . God Bless you I hope i get smart and quit the game . I am shocked they don't ask how much time we waste playing the game lol
Not one red cent. Woo-hoo!
I really didn't want to add it up. But its $53.59. Usually I pay late at night when I'm fed up with a level and ready to move on. Apparently happens more often than I thought!
I have spent numerous hours, plus a lot of money. I know in just the last month I have spent $75.00 to $90.00 on extra lives, extra turns, and the candy things.
I am so glad i don't gamble because I know I would be an addict . I have probably spent in the last month over a hundred dollars . I am seriously thinking about finding a cheat code or something that will make me sick of there games because it is so addictive to almost beat something and to be just right there and then it upsets you ...That's why I am un linking my credit card to the account so many things I could have used the money for . Plus the company that owns these games you think would reward me for spending so much money . I was stupid I just spent like $40 tonight trying to get my wife up on her levels ....I honestly feel like a fool and I know I am . Most things in life I am pretty practicle but some reason this silly game got to me ....
$123....Level 86 Baby!
Im on level 100 but i spend all day crushing sending lives and asking i wish more than 5 lives just play as much as you want or at least no timer on lives
Yes please!
I have not spent a dime-- but am a total addict to Candy Crush-- I have completed level 350 on my Android phone, and there doesn't seem to be an update-- I play on my laptop sometimes but not very convenient for me-- does anyone know if there is or if there will be an update for my phone?
I win. I haven't spend any money whatsoever to get as far as I have.
I have spent $74.65!!!! And I. Don't even know how it happened! Hammer after hammer, 5 more moves....it's so addicting. I had to cut myself off.
OMG! I'm in my 100's I just get so impatient! I need therapy!!!!
I would consider paying money on Candy Crush cheating, it's like taking away strokes at golf. I also think it is really stupid to waste hard earned money on something so idiotic, sadly a lot of people have more money than brains, but that is just my view on the matter.
p.s. Since I didn't stupidly waste any of my money, nobody has to pay my bill now do they!!!!
I recently checked my bank acc and I believe there is a mistake and I have been overcharged: 250.00 dlls total if not more! I am really upset.
Roughly $40.00......so far :(
has everyone beat on here in regards to amount spent
i listen to all the people i know talk about playing this game relentlessly. i dont play any of these games because i like money. the fact that i dont play these games for 1hr a day or more like it seems most people do and instead i read is probably why i make double everyone else around me... :-)
PLEASE tell me how you can get the 99 lives or more moves!!!!! I have been stuck on level 123 and refuse to spend any more money on this stupid game, but I am SOOOOO frustrated. I would love to know your secret!
Does anyone have an answer to my above question???????????
Over the last few months I have spent about 500 gbp! Help!!!!! I can't keep on doing this but I am so addicted to this bloody game!!
I am shamed to say I paid about $50 on candy crush. This is what I add up looking at my iTunes invoices. I think I also paid some through Facebook, too, so it might be more like $60-70. A lot of times I get the extra moves, thinking just more moves will help, or if they offer the hammer. I have only bought the striped candy or color bomb once or twice and I didn't think they were too helpful. I paid to move to the next episode once, too, but find that easier to just ask people to unlock it. I have not paid for extra lives. I can't believe how addicting the game is! I totally get sucked in.
Believe it or not I have spent approx. $350.00 playing candy crush. I am on level 181. Way too much money.. I am addicted. I have stopped buying boosters and extra moves.
Wall off Shame! lol! I'd say about $200 maybe a little more..
Does anyone know the cheat for getting more lives or candies, without actually having to purchase them?
Go ahead 3 hours in time in your settings go to candy crush see full lives than go back to settings and go back to regular time.
About $25 or more :(
I am horrified every morning when I get my iTunes invoice from the previous day and see that I have spent $10-$20 on Candy Crush, in just one day!!! And that's everyday! I know it's ridiculous.
it's crazy what people are spending on this app, it's so addicting, some $200 and over like this one http://insite.me/have-you-heard-of-candy-crush-it-may-cost-you-over-200/
I have spent a lot on money on extra moves hammers.. to much to count
Hello jerri, I try with this link I'm going to leave and it worked to perfection, now I do not spend much money ehhehehe.
Good luck.
After this post I actually added all payments made and it ads up to USD 175, however I have finished all levels available in iOS. Being a gamer for 30 years I quickly recognize the addiction symptoms. So the logic is to get it finished as soon as possible and consider that a couple of console games (which I would probably get less hours of play per dollar) would have similar cost.
Never bothered anyone in facebook as well, paid for level unlocks on facebook which costs a third of iOS and purchased the expensive but permanent add ons (additional lives, freeze time and one stripe per game). Occasionally bought extra moves just to get rid of a more complicated level and I am free from candy crush, until the next update which usually takes a couple of days and a maximum usd 5.
I feel so ashamed. I have not been playing Candy Crush very long - only a few months - but I'm definitely addicted. I'm on level 213. I recently went to my bank account to total how much I'd spent and what I saw made me sick to my stomach. I stopped counting when the amount reached $500. Never again, and OMG...the shame is unbearable.
I have clocked all 500 current levels, have the highest score on nearly every level out of all of my friends and I have never spent a cent! I am a geek though - I love mathematics and patterns so I look several moves ahead. There are about 20 levels all up that I don't have three stars on, so I am focusing on that. But I wouldn't spend anything because it wouldn't really be solving it.
As of this date, I have spent approximately $65.00 playing candy crush saga. This is just an
approximate amount. I may have spent more because there are times when I think I only need five more moves and it ends up being 25 more moves. LOL I enjoy the games anyway so its all in fun. Thanks for the consideration.
Everything was fine until around level 300, since then I've spent £500 getting to level 512. That's around £2.50 ($4 usd?) per level!! They make it impossible to progress without the extras, the b*stards. I am trying to give up the habit, honest!

I'm on level 647 and have only spent $1.99 and that was by accident. I had to change my I phone settings to not allow purchases. I will have to say Facebook friends have helped a lot with providing extra lives and advancing to new levels! Even though I am ahead of all friends I go to earlier levels everyday to give those friends extra lives to thank them for advancing me :) I just wanted to prove that every board is passable without cheats! If I can do it anyone can!!

Loren was filled with excitement as she looked around at her new home- her first apartment. Before she was even finished unpacking, she began planning for her housewarming party. Pushing the boxes to the side, she sat on her carpet and pulled out her trusty little notebook. To begin, she thought to herself, a guest list.
Within hours, she had called everyone she knew and invited them to her soiree later that week. Then she began to worry. Her apartment was actually quite, well, cozy, and she began to wonder how she would fit everyone. Where would they sit? Her refrigerator and cabinets were empty. What would they eat?
Suddenly, a brilliant idea hit her. She had seen a special on TV about decorating with candy. With a few clicks of her mouse, a bit of decorating finesse, and more than a little improvisation, her gathering would be the event of the year!
As guests began to arrive, Loren couldn't help but give herself a pat on the back. The "ooohs and ahhhs" were music to her ears. Her studio looked like something straight out of a magazine. Everything was a deep red, to match the color of her beloved new sofa. Beautiful candy arrangements made of atomic fireballs and cherry flavored jelly beans and red rose lollipops lined the tables. Stylish red candy lips hung from the ceiling off of red licorice ropes. Guests sat on still unpacked moving boxes, covered with velvet maroon tablecloths.
When someone asked for a glass of water, Loren politely asked them to stand up. Pulling the tablecloth off of the cardboard box, Loren pulled out several glasses and dishes before sealing it back up. The guest was impressed.
"How modern! Multifunctional, bohemian. A new era of design. Tres chic!"

U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen issued a statement about the investigation after Kwame Brown's brother, Che Brown, pleaded guilty to bank fraud Thursday.
Mr. Machen's office began investigating the Browns after local officials found irregularities in Kwame Brown's campaign finance reports. Kwame Brown pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor campaign finance violation related to a side account that was controlled by his brother.
Both Browns also pleaded guilty to felony bank fraud. Those charges were unrelated to the campaign finance allegations.
Mr. Machen says civil penalties may be appropriate in the campaign finance matter and is asking the District of Columbia Board of Elections to take it up again.

South Carolina restaurant under fire for 'racist' uniforms
A South Carolina Mexican restaurant is in hot water after its employees donned offensive uniforms.
According to NBC Latino, employees at Taco Cid worn shirts that depicted tacos in a simple trap "How to catch an illegal immigrant."
"Of course it's offensive, it's meant to be," says Lisa Navarette, advisor to the president at the National Council of La Raza. "This is simply a failing business trolling for attention. We would recommend people not patronize this place. Sure, because of this insult but really due to the fact that a restaurant this clueless about the Latino community can't possibly make a decent taco."
Taco Cid posted the following statement on its website in response to criticism.
"Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group. Taco Cid and its employees are not racists," the statement continued. "As most tax paying Americans, we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are taxing the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay more taxes in support of their illegal activities which our government has simply chosen to look the other way. Is it racist to disagree with those who are not supporting the American system?"
A local pastor criticized the shirt saying South Carolina "is a very racist state."

According to the Administration on Aging, every year, an estimated 2.1 million older Americans are victims of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. And while that number is quite staggering, experts believe that for every case of elder abuse or neglect reported, as many as five cases go unreported.
Locally, the Scioto County Elder Abuse Task Force, along with the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) Wheelersburg Office, and a number of other local organizations, is planning a special event in recognition of Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Thursday, June 13 from 10:00 am until 12 Noon in Portsmouth's Tracy Park. The event is in recognition of Ohio's Elder Abuse Awareness Day and World Elder Abuse Awareness Day that will be observed on June 15th.
The event will serve to educate the public about elder abuse and to recognize Scioto County's victims of elder abuse. As purple has been designated as the color for elder abuse awareness, the Portsmouth Garden Club, in collaboration with the Scioto County Elder Abuse Task Force, will plant 162 purple petunias in the park to represent the 162 reported cases of elder abuse in Scioto County in 2012. In addition, 162 balloons will also be launched during the event.
To further engage the community, the task force is asking Scioto County property owners and businesses to participate by planting purple flower gardens and tying purple ribbons around trees during the month of June.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, elder abuse is a term referring to any knowing, intentional, or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person that causes harm or a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult. The specificity of laws varies from state to state, but broadly defined, abuse may be:
• Physical Abuse - Inflicting, or threatening to inflict, physical pain or injury on a vulnerable elder, or depriving them of a basic need.
• Emotional Abuse - Inflicting mental pain, anguish, or distress on an elder person through verbal or nonverbal acts.
• Sexual Abuse - Non-consensual sexual contact of any kind.
• Exploitation - Illegal taking, misuse, or concealment of funds, property, or assets of a vulnerable elder.
• Neglect - Refusal or failure by those responsible to provide food, shelter, health care or protection for a vulnerable elder.
• Abandonment - The desertion of a vulnerable elder by anyone who has assumed the responsibility for care or custody of that person.
The National Center on Elder Abuse also adds that those at risk could vary as, like other types of domestic violence, elder abuse is extremely complex. Generally, a combination of psychological, social, and economic factors, along with the mental and physical conditions of the victim and the perpetrator, contribute to the occurrence of elder maltreatment. Risk factors may include a history of domestic violence, personal problems of abusers, isolation, caregiver stress, and personal characteristics of the elder.
What's important is being aware of the risk factors and warning signs associated with elder abuse. Warning signs could include physical marks or physical mistreatment, behavioral changes, and sudden changes in financial situations. If you or someone you know has been the victim of abuse, exploitation or neglect, it is important to report the suspected abuse immediately. Call your doctor or confide in a family member or friend you trust, or call the Scioto County Adult Protective service worker within the Scioto County Department of Job and Family Services at 740-354-6661 to report elder abuse occurring in the community. To report abuse in long-term care facilities, call the AAA7 Ombudsman Program at 1-800-582-7277. If someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger, call your local police department or sheriff's office, or 9-1-1 immediately.
The Scioto County Elder Abuse Task Force is comprised of a number of community agencies and organizations including: the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Scioto County Department of Job and Family Services, Southern Ohio Medical Center, Hempstead Manor, Hill View Retirement Center, Scioto County Prosecutor's Office, United Scioto Senior Activities, Portsmouth Police Department, Scioto County Sheriff's Office, Scioto County Probate Court, Best Care, Advantage Home Health, ADAMHS Board, Counseling Center, Comfort Care Partners, King's Daughters Medical Center Ohio, Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority, and the Scioto County Department of Disabilities. The Task Force is dedicated to keeping Scioto County elders safe and healthy by increasing awareness of elder abuse, working to identify service gaps, and developing programs and services to meet the needs of the elderly population. Its goal is for elders to be able to age in place in a safe and healthy environment.
For more information about the Task Force or the special event on June 13th, please call Kaye Mason-Inoshita, Director of the AAA7 Ombudsman Program and Chairperson for the Scioto County Elder Abuse Task Force, at 1-800-582-7277.

By kjj715 from USA on 2009-07-25 12:07:49Things I liked:Things i like about this gun are the great feel in your hand, the weight, the slide lock, the open breech, and its shooting power.
Things I would have changed:the only thing i would change is the fact that you have to cock it back every time to shoot
What others should know:when you use the gun outdoors the bbs tend to curve with the wind, but when you indoor your pretty much gauranteed to hit your target, overall just a great pistol

By dmosullivan from USA on 2009-05-26 20:48:13Things I liked:Low price, large reservoir (90 bb's), nice feel & look, free holster.
Things I would have changed:Slide ease and quality.
What others should know:The slide is difficult to cock for children (7 years old) - they have to hold gun downward and pull the slide upward (instead of holding the gun horizontally and cocking the slide horizontally); Because of this, the slide has come right off of the gun several times when a young child tries to cock it in this fashion. The slide also seems to always get jammed or stuck in the cocked back position if you cock the gun after the magazine has (unknowingly) emptied.

Source: Former UFC fighter Paul Kelly convicted of trafficking heroin, faces lengthy jail time - MMA FightingPaul Kelly holds a fairly unique distinction in the UFC, having been released after a Fight of the Night performance at UFC 126. His name will fall into further infamy after Friday, when he was convicted of trafficking heroin in his native United Kingdom.
According to The Liverpool Echo, jurors returned a unanimous verdict after a four-day trial.
The paper reported that the 28-year-old Kelly is facing a "long" prison sentence as a result, but did not specify possible lengths of time.
Judge Mark Brown told jurors that they'd made the right decision, and that he considered Kelly to be the head man in the organization.
Prosecutors successfully argued that Kelly and his friend Christopher St John McGirr were "major" dealers in the area. They were arrested in May 2012 after a series of raids in Liverpool and Sefton. At the time, marijuana plants, heroin and significant amounts of cash were found, police said.
The Echo reported that when the verdict was announced, Kelly shouted "I've got two kids," and his father was removed from the court after an outburst.

Honkers, quackers and dogs. Looks like a great afternoon!
Older and wider.
Send some of that delicious bird my way!
"With great knives comes great responsibility."
The dogs look pooped! Busy retrievers
In order to make delicious food, you must eat delicious food. Jiro Ono
Nice haul. I miss bird hunting. May get on a lease this year. I used to go all the time though it seems I end up hog hunting more and more over the past few years.
Trade you a bird hunt for a hog hunt!!
"Lease"? How does that work?
Well the way a lease works is you lease the permission to use another persons property for hunts. Like for dove hunting we have a few places up near Angleton and Alvin Texas that are rice fields and we lease them just for the dove seasons. The hog hunting is nothing special like when we used to hunt Havalina's or Russians. We mainly target the nuisance feral hog population that has been growing exponentially around Texas and Louisiana though I know we are not the only states being plagued by them.

In my opinion the first great theatrical film of King's work. Carrie was good, and i was never a big fan of the Shining. But the Dead Zone hit a home run. Christopher Walken was fantastic as John Smith. My only complaint was that it left out the whole wheel of fortune segment. But a great film nonetheless.
The movie often gets overlooked when listed the best adaptations of King's work.

And I dont think fear and doubt are mutually exclusive to be honest, but feel free to have your own take on that. And if they are well i suppose a little bit is healthy, because had I not..and had YOU not "doubted" something you thought was true for a very long time... you would have never came to the idea known as ultimate reconciliation.(omit . . . )I spent 6 months doubting ET, doubting the bible, doubting God...doubting alot of things...and finally Im not really doing that anymore because God broke me out of it. But because of it, I became much more sure of what I believe than I had been the entire 7 years I was "saved". My beliefs did change on some things, such as believeing in UR and what not...but I am still so glad that I went through that now.

My Name Is Hmmm…
Je m'appelle Hmmm… | agnès b, 2013
France | French and English with English subtitles | 121 minutes
agnès b in person at October 7 screening!
The first feature by fashion designer and film lover agnès b. (signed "Agnès Troublé") is a deeply personal, incandescent work that filters childhood trauma through the poetry of the road. Céline (Lou-Lélia Demerliac) is an 11-year old who holds her family together as she bears the weight of sexual abuse by her unemployed father (Jacques Bonnaffé) while her mother (Sylvie Testud) earns money as a waitress. During a school trip to the seaside, she runs away and hides out in the cab of a freight truck driven by a sweet middle-aged man from Scotland (artist Douglas Gordon) who is in the midst of dealing with his own trauma. The film, alive to the beauty of every face and every landscape, casts a magic spell and stays true to the lives of its characters. My Name Is Hmmm… is a movie by a passionate cinephile who has fully absorbed her inspirations, from the cinema of her own country to the films of John Cassavetes.

After a contentious hearing that featured raised voices and a new (and often used) gavel in the hands of the board chair, the Waitsfield Select Board opted not to officially accept a petition from voters requesting a new vote on town offices until legal questions about the wording of the petition article can be clarified.
At Town Meeting last month, voters defeated a proposal to build new town offices on a parcel of land in the village known as the Farm Stand parcel. In response, town residents collected the requisite number of signatures needed to require the select board to hold a vote on an article that calls for voters to affirm a desire for town offices to be in the village and then asks voters to choose one of two sites for town offices.
By state statute when voters petition for a bond vote the select board has 15 days to set a date for the vote and begin the public warning/hearing process. At issue for several members of the select board was the wording of the petition article which calls for first a yes/no vote and then the selection of a site.
At the select board's April 8 meeting, board member Logan Cooke wanted to know if the wording was legal and was told by town administrator Valerie Capels that the town's attorney had vetted it and suggested the addition of "yes/no" to the site selection part of the ballot.
Select board member Chris Pierson said that the first section of the ballot, which mentions that the town can apply for a $750,000 community block grant, was steering voters towards one of the two sites.
John Reilly, who spearheaded the petition effort, said that the language of the ballot had been reviewed by the Vermont secretary of state's office which said it was okay.
Capels said she also talked to the secretary of state's office and heard it was acceptable language with the addition of the yes/no option on the site choice.
Village resident Kirsten Siebert said that she had also talked to the secretary of state's office about the original wording of the ballot and was told it was not legal because it does not have a clear answer.
"Legally, we have to bring this forward," Cooke said.
"How can any of the signatures be legal if the wording is not?" asked board member Scott Kingsbury.
"So we have a legal petition and you're saying the wording is not legal," board member Bill Parker asked.
"There's no yes or no," Cooke said. "You could get people voting yes to the first part, the request for up to $1.3 million and then down below on the site selection, people voting for the church at $2.1 million and we'd have the church but not enough money.
The two proposed sites are the Farm Stand parcel at a cost of $1.3 million and the former Methodist Church in the village at a cost of $2.1 million. Both of those costs could be reduced by a $750,000 community block grant which the town applied for this week.
At several points during the discussion of the petition the meeting became chaotic with board members talking over each other, members of the public jockeying to be heard and, finally, board chair Paul Hartshorn gaveling the meeting back to order.
"We have to solve this and not break any laws," Hartshorn said.
"It sounds like laws have already been broken," Kingsbury noted.
"I don't see how this article can go out to voters," Cooke said.
Hartshorn reminded the board that it was legally obligated to follow state statute regarding the petition and said, "This isn't our option. We can't change it."
Town administrator Capels clarified that the town cannot make substantive changes to the wording of the petitioned article but could make minor clarifications such as the "yes/no" language in the site selection portion, per the suggestion of the Secretary of State's office.
"So you're saying that the change of adding yes/no to the second section makes it legal? Even if the lawyers tell us this is legal, I'd still feel uncomfortable putting this out for a bond vote," Cooke said.
"I don't know what choice you have," Capels responded.
Next ensued a chaotic discussion of how ballots could and would be counted that ended with the chair gaveling the meeting back to order.
"I think we need to talk to an attorney and the Vermont League of Cities and Towns," said board member Chris Pierson.
"But they've said it's legal," Cooke responded.
"It's legal," Reilly said.
Cooke made a motion to defer acceptance of the petition until the town had consulted with an attorney on the matter. Kingsbury asked that that attorney not be the regular town bond attorney who had already talked to petitioners about the language of the petition and proposed article.
Siebert asked about the advice already solicited from the town's attorney and wanted to know to whom it had been given.
"It was given to me," Capels said, "and he said it was legal."
"So we have our answer. This is legal," Cooke said.
"We have to go deeper," Pierson said.
"I think this is unfair. Accept this and then go get your questions answered," Reilly responded.
"We have a petition that we're told is legal and we have to bring it to voters. But we have to approve it. I don't want to put my signature on it," Cooke said.
Capels said the select board did not have to approve the petition or the bond but only approve the legal warning for the upcoming vote.
"We have to bring it to the voters, but can we voice our concerns? I think we owe it to the voters to bring them something they can understand. I can't believe it can't be written better. Why can't we make it better?" Parker asked.
"If we accept the petition, that gives us the option to apply for the block grant and we have 15 days to have our legal questions answered," Hartshorn said.
"We don't accept the petition," Cooke persisted.
"That's a mistake. You're wrong," Reilly said.
"He's holding an ax over our heads," said resident Pete Reynells.
"I'm not holding an ax. I want the grant item understood when people vote. That grant is a big deal," Reilly said.
Cooke said he was withdrawing his motion to defer acceptance pending legal review and making a new motion to approve the petition but not the proposed ballot item.
Capels told him they could not be separated legally.
Cooke reverted to his previous motion which he, Kingsbury and Pierson supported while Hartshorn and Parker opposed it.
