Mondays, May 6 - June 10, 2013
7:30 - 9 pm
with Jeffrey Schneider
When everything is removed, taken away, seen through, then what? Does any basis for practice or awakening remain? Emptiness is a central concept in every school of Mahayana Buddhism. In this gathering we will clarify the teaching and investigate the ways it may play out in our lives. Although we will read and discuss the various doctrines of emptiness, the focus of the group will be on our own experience. We will use both group discussion and one to one dialogues as our primary tools.
Requirements: A working knowledge of Buddhist teachings, a commitment to attend every class and a willingness to participate actively.
Class fees; five class meetings: $75; $67 current SFZC members; $60 limited income.
To Register: Use the Ticket Table below. Or call our toll free number 888.743.9362 or local number 415.475.9362.

This picture was taken three weeks ago on a trip to Korogocho, Kenya.
Korogocho is located next to one of the largest dumpsites in Nairobi and is one of the three largest slums in the city. Navigating through Korogocho can be challenging, not to mention asphyxiating, as it lies in an underdeveloped, bustling area where thousands of people live and work. Small makeshift homes are piled one on top of the other.
The pastor of the church, Redeemed Gospel Church, told us that the name 'Korogocho' has the meaning of being 'crammed shoulder to shoulder' or 'piled on top of one another.'
This picture, taken in the midst of the slum, tells an amazing story because it represents the firstfruits of a Church-to-Church (C2C) partnership.
In the picture are parents and their children, newly registered in our Child Sponsorship Program at Redeemed Gospel Church.
Also included in the picture are leaders from Trinity Church in Michigan.
Our C2C program focuses on building long-term relationships between well-resourced churches in the U.S. and our partner churches in the field.
C2C is now active in nine of the 26 countries where we work.
The idea of churches working together in partnership is not necessarily new, but our C2C Partnership is. What began in a beta test last year with 36 churches is now in the second year, closing in on a benchmark of 100 church partnerships.
C2C creates a relational mission, one church to another, beginning with connecting church leaders on a Discovery Trip, where congregation members from each U.S. church can get connected in a special way.
The first goal of C2C is to ensure at least 50 children from the church partner's child development center are available for the U.S. church congregation to sponsor.
Redeemed Gospel is one of the bright spots in the community of Korogocho. In spite of being under resourced and facing a multitude of other challenges, the person of Jesus is fleshed out on a daily basis.
It is such a powerful thing to witness. A church like Redeemed Gospel has so much to offer a church here in the U.S. As churches build relationship together our prayer is that learning and ministry sharing will begin to take root in both directions, benefiting both partners and meeting kingdom goals with exponential impact.

Man reports wet basement, attempted pipe theftAugust 05,2014Man says pipe
theft attempted
STAMFORD An apparent attempt to steal copper pipes last week left a homeowner with water in the basement, reported Trooper Elliott Justinger.
In a news release, Justinger said Richard LeScarbeau, 64, of Williamstown, Mass., recently reported what appeared to be an attempted burglary at his Stamford home on Clough Road.
LeScarbeau said he believed sometime between July 28 and Aug. 3, someone had entered the home through an unlocked window and attempted to steal the copper pipes. However, the first pipe that was cut was the main water line which caused water to begin flowing into the basement.
LeScarbeau said no other pipes were cut and nothing was stolen.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Vermont State Police at the Shaftsbury barracks at 442-5421.

Ever since 1953, when the company was founded in Hamamatsu, Japan, Suzuki has had one simple goal in mind: "Providing the world with the affordable means to positively communicate through the universal language of music." That idea is definitely a running theme through their lineup of instruments, which is focused primarily on keyboards, harmonicas and melodic percussion designed to be student-friendly and high-performing. For a new keyboardist or an experienced pianist looking for a portable yet powerful instrument, the Suzuki SP-45 61-note Portable Keyboard is a good choice. Its key count is short enough to make the instrument compact and travel-ready, but broad enough not to leave you feeling restricted when you play. For a permanent in-home or classroom setup, take a look at Suzuki's Mini Grand and Micro Grand digital pianos. These have full keyboards and tons of excellent features, not to mention being attractive centerpieces for your music room.
If you'd like to try a more compact instrument, check out Suzuki's impressive range of harmonicas. These start out with the fun-to-play Folkmaster, perfect for casual experimentation, and run all the way to the absolutely gorgeous, professional-level, SC-128 Tremolo Chromatic Harmonica. Suzuki also makes a great range of metallophones, glockenspiels and xylophones for adding the unique character of melodic percussion into your musical stylings.

Does that include the town of Rozadov? I am really excited to find theses records.ReplyDelete
Rozvadov is under Pilsen archives, but not yet online (and therefor not possible to be found).ReplyDelete
Thanks Blanka, I hope I remember this time.ReplyDelete
Oh, this is SO useful. I kept having to switch from the archives pages to Google translate to figure out what some of the terminology meant. Thanks for your hard work.ReplyDelete
Thank you SOOOO much!! I hope this will be useful in trying to locate my father's surname, Pizinger. I will be traveling to Prague this summer to study there at one of the universities and plan on doing some research as well. Any good tips? I have several surnames and a few locations to start with thus far. You have done a wonderful job with this, Blanka, thanks again!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 29, 2012 at 6:43 PM
Feb. 29,2012 I am learning how to use the Prague Archives and doing fairly well. However, I do not know how to skip pages by typing in a higher number to advance to a certain year.It says to confirm the new number and I can't figure out how to do that. Could you please cover this in your next article on the Archives? Thank you. Your informative articles are teaching me exactly what I want and need to know about my Czech Heritage.ReplyDelete
Hi, "confirm" just means "press enter after writing the number" - this will start loading the page number you have entered into the field. Hope it will work!ReplyDelete
Leza: Tips? Be carefull with the public transportation system if you plan to go to some small villages. :o) The public transport isn't always too good here, there are often only two buses going to the village (one in the morning, second in the afternoon) and two buses going out of the village. It's good to be prepared to this (and I prefer travelling by car in cases when I plan to visit small villages).
Also people in the country mostly don't speak English and are often afraid of visitors, because there were too many cases when they were robbed after such visit and so on. It's better to at least call or write a letter before your visit - or to make an appointment in the municipal office first.
Dear Blanka,ReplyDelete
If I type the village Rouchovany, nothing happens, there is no drop-down menu... Can you help me, why?Replies
Well, Rouchovany works fine for me when I'm in Brno archives - try typing just Roucho or Rouchova and wait. But be sure to have Brno archives chosen in the top menu!Delete
Dear Blanka, I think that my computer doesn!t work properly. I found the record! Just browsing. If I know the district than it goes well - the key is Trebic!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you!
I just started doing research on my great grandparents in Czech Republic and all of the information you share is so helpful!ReplyDelete
can you tell me if the town of nadrib now nadryby in pilzen,bohemia is online? I was told it was near Plana where the caatholic church was at where I would find baptismal records. Is nadryby in northern pilzen? Thanks KarenReplyDelete
Found info on wiki. The village is Nadryby, the parish is Plana, and the district is North apilzen for anyone who wants to know. Thanks KarenReplyDelete
I have found the columnar view confusing. I entered in my search town and it came up with 2 pages. The part that is confusing is the births, marriages and deaths. I see years in all three columns, but it seams to choose what kind of document I want. I want the birth records, but there are times when I click the magnifying glass I get death records. Since there are year ranges in each column, I figured that means there are records for those there, but I do not know how to switch. Am I missing something? Are they not online yet or ???ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousOctober 15, 2013 at 9:38 AM
John - when there are #'s in all three columns, that means that contains birth marriage and death records. You have to scroll through them page by page to find them .... or take your pick of one page to see what is there ... then go forward or backward. Kind of hunt and peck system ... frustrating but it does work.Delete

Hello Blanka,ReplyDelete
I have just discovered your blog trying to get into the ActaPublica site! Thank goodness and thank you.
I am new at researching my czech line and feel pretty lost. I have looked on the Family Search Site to look through the record with images but I have no idea what to look under. My family is from Dambořice and Uhřice, but I do not see the district or the major cities.
Do you have any tips that could help me out, I would so much appreciate them.
Thank you.Replies

Hello Blanka, I am looking for information on my ancestors who lived in Velci, Jince parish, Pribram region 1800-1929. I am guessing that this information is not released yet. Am I correct? Do you have any idea when it will be released? I am searching for the names of Zarybnicky, Karasek, Pokorna. Thank you, GailReplyDeleteReplies
Hello, Pribram region is one of those belonging under Prague state regional archives. This archive has its records online only partially, but they are adding new records every three months or so. Hopefully Pribram area will be published soon.Delete
I cannot find the village of Drevenice in Jicin. But there are several similar names. What is the correct spelling? Also I don't know if I am searching in the right archive. I cannot find where you have said how the 8 regions are divided up among the 3 choices for archives. The names are Josef and Anna Jirsa and their 11 children. One was my grandmother. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi David, Dřevěnice belong under State regional archives in Zámrsk. Unfortunately records for Jicin district are not yet available online, should be online till the end of this year.Delete
Congratulations on a wonderful project! It is most helpful. Can you please tell me how to properly city Acta Publica as the source for its information using the following link as an example:
Susanna Kollross b. 11 Nov 1802
Thank you very much!
Gene WheelerReplies
For some reason, the link did not post. See below.Delete
Susanna Kollross b. 11 Nov 1802
Correct citation would not be on ActaPublica, but on PortaFontium.eu website as Pilsen archives moved their parish books there. The correct link is: http://www.portafontium.cz/iipimage/30061710/hamry-04_0350-nDelete
Citation should be something like this:

Living with stigma as attitudes change
Last updated at 11:55, Thursday, 06 December 2012
A RECENT British Social Attitudes survey found that 37 per cent of people think most people on the dole are fiddling.
In previous recessions support for benefits went up, but this has since decreased. In the early 1990s, three out of ten believed those who were unemployed could get a job; now it is six of out 10.
Meanwhile, 70 years on from publication of the Beveridge Report, which formed the basis of the Welfare State, 15 per cent of people think its creation is one of Britain's proudest achievements, according to the survey.

Have your say
have a look at the comment a young lady was told by a member of the benefit staff in whitehaven :have another babby: that just about sums this rotten corrupt country is.
That can only be because main-stream press take great delight in `stigmatizing` ALL benefit claimants whether it be the disabled, the unemployed or those who are ill. I for one am sick of seeing how news sources such as the Mail Online STIRS UP HATRED & DIVISION.If these same tactics were used towards other groups (such as faith, race or gender groups) I feel certain there would be uproar & the press would be accused of all manner of things INCLUDING HATE SPEECH.Its to be hoped that the current `haters` never have to experience what its like to be sick or disabled, or to lose their job (`there for the grace of God go I` ect)The other issue that bugs me is when commentators on articles ignorantly claim that benefit claimants shouldnt be allowed to smoke or have a drink. Do the critics not realise that TAX is being paid back into the system if a claimant smokes or buys a drink? Without their input of Tax probably everyone else would have to pay more!!!end of rant.

Wind: 0 mph
This past two weeks gave us a good look at the character of different leaders:
One, Peyton Manning, the football genius, stood on a podium and accepted blame for his bad play leading to a defeat for his team.
The other, President Obama, again refused to accept the truth by blaming someone else for mistakes of his administration. In this case, he repeated that the massacre of his ambassador to Libya and three other Americans was sparked singly by Muslim fanatics being insulted by a crappy little video invented by some nut in California. Obama's denial of responsibility, a failure to protect Americans, came a day after his own National Counter-Terrorism Center revealed that the murders were an act of deliberate terrorism fed by Al Qaeda.
At the same time, the president deflected attention from the central issue by declaring that Mitt Romney was a bad guy for "jumping the gun" over the attacks on our embassies. (Romney criticized Obama's State Department for apologizing for the offending video.)
The episodes were a perfect study, not just of Obama's weakness in leadership but of his campaign's attempt to cover up his miserable performance in the White House with personal attacks on Romney.
Obama has presided over the worst economic recovery from a recession in U.S. history. His let's-be-nice foreign policy has led to violent anti-American riots worldwide. His double-cross of Israel denies the Holocaust. His allowing Iran to move forward on nuclear weapons presents the probability of nuclear attacks on U.S. cities plus the annihilation of Israel.
His Democratic-controlled Senate's refusal to pass a single budget in four years is evidence that his administration has no intent to rein in spending, nor to create jobs, nor to reduce a $16 trillion debt that will someday soon destroy our nation. Your grandchildren have a future that dwells in poverty.
President Obama's supporters continue to fabricate myths and slogans about his political challengers as people who despise women, kick the poor, hate gays, blacks and Latinos and hoard piles of gold. (Couldn't the Republicans counter the "War on Women" absurdity with an insistence that pro-abortion Democrats are conducting a "War on Children"?)
Listen carefully to Obama's one and only message for economic recovery: "Millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share." (If you taxed all the billionaires and millionaires in the U.S. at 100 percent, the government will have enough money for 8.5 days. Whoopee!)
Of course, Romney's writing off of the 47 percent of Americans on entitlements was recorded as a major gaffe, but at least the press, in pummeling Romney, was forced to expose that 47 percent of the people pay no income tax, according to the Washington Post, September 19. If they were taxed just a teensy-weensy bit, wouldn't that fit Obama's concept of "fair share"? And why did Obama's adoring media, on the day after the Libyan killings, find time to rough up Romney while not asking why Obama thought it was more important to fly to Las Vegas for a fundraiser instead of staying in Washington and investigating why our security in Libya lapsed so badly that an American ambassador and three other Americans were murdered? That is one reason why 60 percent of Americans, according to Gallup, no longer trust the media.
Romney questions Obama's sorry record of increasing poverty while borrowing and spending $1 trillion a year. Is this the record of a champion of minorities? From the Los Angeles Times, June 1, 2012: "Black unemployment now stands at 13.6%, up from 13% the month before; for Latinos, the unemployment rate rose to 11% from 10.3% in April."
What have four years of "Hope and Change" wrought? Remember the pledge that "you will not pay one dime in new taxes" for Obamacare? The Congressional Budget Office reported last week that the penalty for not carrying insurance will clobber the life savings of middle class families. The CBO said that about 76 percent of those who stand to be slapped with the tax penalty for Obamacare are those earning less than $120,000.
Obama himself announced last week that his four years in Washington have been a waste of time. "You can't change Washington from within," he said. So now is he saying that after re-election he will govern from Chicago?
The one very clear issue is big vs. small government. Some arithmetic: In less than four years, Obama has doubled the debt that George W. Bush enhanced in his eight years and with miserable results.
The media's failure to vet their hero is one reason why books like The Amateur, written by Ed Klein, a former New York Times editor, and movies like 2016, Obama's America by Dinesh D'Sousa, have become so popular.
It's pretty simple: A man who can't take responsibility for his actions is suspect in character and doesn't deserve our respect. Obama, meet Peyton Manning, who took his failures like a man, who instead of standing up could have taken a cue from our president by blaming his game-losing three interceptions on Tim Tebow.

Undefeated Daniel Cormier has recently said that his next bout at heavyweight against Roy Nelson will be his last, and that he then he would like an immediate shot at the light heavyweight title.
UFC lightheavyweight champion Jon Jones is not impressed.
"DC is a guy who really wants to be famous," said Jones. "I don't think he wants to work hard. I think he just wants to be famous. You can see it in his physique; you can see it in his card."
"I hate answering questions about him. He's just not relevant to me. There's so many great fighters in the light-heavyweight division. He's not even top five in his division..."
"He has short reach, bad cardio, he looked terrible in his last fight. It's like, I'm not worried about him at all."
During the UFC 163 post-fight show in FUEL TV, hosted by Jon Anik, Cormier appeared to offer analysis, and directed some remarks at Jones.
When I hear his quote, its like a 16-year old girl," said Cormier. "Jon Jones, grow up bud, were going to fight regardless of how you feel. And when we do and Im cutting the line and you might as well pull the guard because Im taking you down.

The Waitsfield Conservation Commission has nearly finalized a management plan for the 640-acre Scrag town forest. All that is needed before the plan goes to the select board for approval is a final round of public input. Join the Conservation Commission for a public presentation at 7 p.m. (refreshments at 6:30 p.m.) on Monday, December 3, at the Waitsfield Elementary School. Discussion will follow and final plan revisions will be based on this public input. Everyone is invited to come learn more about the forest and what is planned for its future, and to share thoughts and ideas.
The Scrag Forest contains over one mile of the Northfield ridgeline and much of the scenic vista forming The Valley's east side. With assistance from local consulting ecologist Kristen Sharpless and drawing upon three previous studies of the forest, professional input and suggestions from the public, the commission's plan describes the property and outlines goals, policies and guidelines related to recreation, forestry, wildlife, water quality, aesthetics and development.
Also prescribed are actions to be taken over the next several years to work toward meeting the plan's goals. For example, recreational access will be further improved by posting a kiosk, signs and trail markers to direct visitors from the parking area at the end of Bowen Road to the new footpath completed by a Vermont youth conservation crew this summer.
The main trail up to the beaver pond, which is in poor condition, will be improved and rerouted in places as part of a timber harvest planned to improve and create wildlife habitat and to generate revenue and/or timber and firewood for community projects. Fixing the main trail will also help address erosion and water quality issues along this access.
The latest version of the plan and supporting documents are posted on the Waitsfield town website. Please email comments to Valerie Capels, Waitsfield town administrator, by Tuesday, December 4, and come out to the public meeting on December 3. Questions? Contact Waitsfield Conservation Commission chair Leo Laferriere at 496-2515.

Editor's note: Our review of the top stories of 2012 is presented in two parts. Part I ran in the Dec. 28, 2012 edition. The Jefferson Post wishes you a safe and happy New Year.
A small-town newspaper with a community focus faces a special challenge with the inevitable slow news cycle: having little to report in a place where news travels fast. Fortunately, Ashe County is a community which knows how to keep things interesting.
This year, we've seen crimes and misdemeanors as well as great outpourings of charity. Layoffs and bouncing jobless figures reminded us the local economy is still taking a knee, while new proposals and charities have sparked excitement in the community.
Church Burning
North Beaver Baptist Church on N.C. 163 outside West Jefferson, built in 1943, was destroyed Sunday, July 29 by a fire that started in the building's attic.
Shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, a passing Ashe County Sheriffs Office Deputy saw the fire and alerted county communications, according to Pastor Rick Miller of North Beaver Baptist Church, who rushed to the scene.
"I made it to the church probably 15 minutes after they called West Jefferson (Volunteer Fire Department) out," said Miller. "Flames were shortly shooting through the roof. It was so sad to watch."
"Our deepest thanks and appreciation goes out to the fire departments," said Miller. "They worked all night and tried their best, but the fire was too much for the structure to be saved."
Arson was beleived to be the cause of the fire. The Ashe County Sheriff's Department said there is a suspect, although no other information has been released.
Middle School Proposal
The Ashe County Board of Education brought forward a financial "wish list" to the Board of Commissioners at a joint meeting held on Monday, Aug. 6 at the courthouse.
This meeting was held to brief the commissioners on challenges the school district will face over the next 15 years keeping its facilities safe, secure and up-to-date.
Ashe County Middle School was the primary focus of the meeting. While there are several renovations that could be made to ACMS, the idea of building an 800-student school was discussed as the main goal. Reeves offered several options to address the aging middle school facility while highlighting its current condition.
According to projections made by Larry Greene, the district's architect, there are four feasible options to solve the problems at the middle school.
• The first option is to construct a new 800-student sixth through eighth grade middle school. This option would cost an estimated $24 million.
• The second option is to construct a new 550-student seventh and eighth grade school. This option would cost an estimated $17.6 million.
• The third option is to upgrade the current middle school to accommodate 800 students. This school would include grades six through eight and would cost about $10.8 million.
• The fourth option is to upgrade the existing seventh through eighth grade middle school. This would cost roughly $7.6 million.
During the meeting, the members of both boards leaned toward a consensus that renovating the current building may not be the best investment, citing the buildings 50-year-old foundation.
McNeill's legacy
The closing of McNeill's Department Store in downtown West Jefferson marked the ending of a 123-year legacy.
The stores final owner, Robbin McNeill, was thankful to the community for all of the years of patronage.
"I am taking away so many memories from having been the fourth generation McNeill to work at McNeill's Department Store," said Robbin.
The store began as a country general store under Elihu Alexander (E.A.) McNeill in 1889, and evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of its customers.
Before its closing, McNeill's was the oldest family owned department store in North Carolina.
Antiques Fair
Ashe County's inaugural Olde Times Antiques Fair was met with a large crowd and positive reviews from vendors on Saturday, Sept. 22.
"The turnout has been bigger than we expected for a first-time event," said Keith Woodie, owner of Antiques on Main, sponsor of the event.
According to Woodie, the event played host to 42 different vendors renting out 45 spaces. Most of these vendors sold antiques, while a few vendors sold food.
Woodie also said the entire town benefited from the event. "The stores and restaurants in town have been packed all day, which is what we wanted," Woodie said on Saturday.
"This event was a wonderful addition," said Cher Schaffer, a vendor who attended the event.
Rescue Squad Celebrates 50 year anniversary
The Ashe County Rescue Squad celebrated its 50th anniversary Sunday evening to recognize all of the accomplishments of the rescue squad since its inception.
"I would like to thank each and every squad member for your dedication," said ACRS Capt. Ricky Roark.
Roark was one of several speakers to address the crowd gathered to honor the rescue squad. Another member, A.B. Weaver, a retired charter member who was among the first members of the Ashe County Rescue Squad, gave an eloquent speech to the crowd.
"We gathered in 1962 (a group of men from West Jefferson) and made a decision that we needed a rescue squad," said Weaver.
The rescue squad currently has 31 members on its roster and a wealth of equipment, which includes two ambulances, three fully-equipped crash trucks, and two motorized boats.
"I would never have dreamed the rescue squad would become what it is today. Many people don't know the rescue squad here in Ashe County is one of the best squads in North Carolina," said Weaver.
Involuntary commitments
The duties and responsibilities of a law enforcement officer are familiar to most of us, patrolling, protection and investigation, but what about waiting?
Over the last several months, Ashe County Sheriff's Deputies have spent days, and sometimes, weeks waiting with a mental health patient, who is also waiting for a secure facility where they can get help.
The county, said ACSO Captain Carolyn Gentry, has seen an "astronomical increase" in the number of involuntary commitments over the summer months, some of them waiting "two and three weeks at a time" for placement.
"(It has become) a horrible problem for the hospital and for law enforcement officers, and it's not very humane treatment for the person with mental illness," Gentry said. "It's a serious issue."
Malony rides for wounded warriors
Kyle Maloney's arrival in Ashe County Monday, Oct. 8, marked the end of a 704 mile bike ride to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and allowed him to visit his cousin, Jim Maloney, an Ashe County native.
Maloney is a resident of West Milford, N.J., and began his long cycling journey from his home town on Saturday Sept. 29. This journey was inspired by Maloney's desire to aid United States' soldiers who return home wounded from action.
"The trip was worth it to raise money for everyone who made sacrifices serving our country," said Maloney.
United Chemi-Con layoffs
Adding to Ashe County's already shaky economy, United Chemi-Con has confirmed the Lansing plant will lose 142 jobs by April 30.
"It's heartbreaking to see when a number of employees who have worked for Chemi-Con for years are being laid off," said Ashe County Manager Dr. Pat Mitchell when she first heard about the layoffs.
According to Sandra Calhoun, the plant's human resources manager, United Chemi-Con will retain 115 employees once the job cuts are completed.
"Basically, we (United Chemi-Con) lost one of our lines to Malaysia, so we will be transitioning from two lines to one," said Calhoun.
United Chemi-Con is subsidiary of the Japanese company Nippon Chemi-Con, and moved to the Lansing plant when it bought Sprague Electric Company in 1992. According to Calhoun, the Lansing plant was significantly impacted by the tsunami that struck Japan in 2011.
Republicans sweep election
Republican incumbents successfully defended their seats on the Ashe County Board of Commissioners, while state and national Republican candidates easily carried Ashe County.
Winning new four-year terms on the county commission were Gerald Price, Larry Rhodes, and Gary W. Roark, with Rhodes pulling the largest number of votes.
Republicans Jonathan Jordan and Dan Soucek also won their seats in the N.C. House and N.C. Senate respectively. President Barack Obama was re-elected as president of the United States.
Countywide totals for the county commission race:
Richard C. Blackburn - 5955
Marty Gambill - 4164
Dan McMillan - 5033
Gerald Price - 6381
Larry Rhodes - 7232
Gary W. Roark - 6863
Totals for the N.C. House race:
Jonathan Jordan - 7307
Cullie Tarleton - 5146
N.C. Senate Race:
Dan Soucek - 7336
Roy Carter - 4976
Laurel Springs man shot by police
Mark Houck, 47, of the Laurel Springs community, was shot and killed by county law enforcement officers after a confrontation on Houck's back porch at his home on Monday, Nov. 19.
According to an ACSO press release on Tuesday, Nov. 20, four officers responded to a call about a man shooting a gun off of his porch on Gaither Poe Road at 11 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 19. The man was later identified to be
"The officers identified themselves, and ordered the man to put down his weapon. Subject refused to comply, and began pointing the weapon at the officers. Officers fired their weapons, striking and killing the subject," said the Nov. 20 press release.
Ashe County Sheriff James Williams released the names of the officers that have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation from the N.C. SBI.
According to Williams, Deputy Joshua Hopkins and Deputy Jeremy Munday from the Ashe County Sheriff's Office and Officer Jake Howell from the West Jefferson Police Department were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation.
"Placing officers on leave after a shooting is standard procedure," said Williams.
Deputy Brandon Howell from the Ashe County Sheriff's office also responded to the shots fired call but was not placed on administrative leave.
221 widening explained
The N.C. Department of Transportation met with the public to discuss its plans to widen U.S. 221 into a four-lane road, and explain how local residents might be impacted by the project on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
"The reason for this public hearing is simply to make you, the public, a part of the development process," said Jamille Robbins, the N.C. DOT's public involvement officer who presented the information during the meeting.
According to Robbins, this project will span 16.1 miles from the intersection of U.S. 421 in Deep Gap to U.S. 221 business/N.C. 88 in Jefferson. The new four-lane road will be divided by a grass median between 17.5-36 feet wide. The road will also have eight-foot-wide shoulders (four feet paved and four feet grassed).
This project is estimated to cost $154,710,928 in all. The construction cost for the project is estimated to be $118,400,000, utilities cost is estimated to be $2,313,028, and the cost of right of way acquisition is estimated to be $33,997,900.
Joint BOC, BOE, ACSO school saftey meeting
Following the tragic shooting the occurred at Sandy Hook Elementry School, a special meeting of the Ashe County Board of Commissioners (BOC), the Ashe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) and the Ashe County Board of Education (BOE) was held Friday, Dec. 21 to dicuss security practices at Ashe County schools.
Board of Commissioners Chair Larry Rhodes said the purpose of the meeting was to review existing school security measures, and look at what might be done make improvements.
"The tragic situation they had in Connecticut obviously has heightened awareness of our school safety," said Rhodes.
Sheriff James Williams said the incident at Sandy Hook "probably affected this country more than anything since 911."
In addition to School Resource Officers (SRO's) already on full-time duty at Ashe County Middle School and Ashe County High School, Williams said he had placed patrols at the elementary schools every morning "for the foreseeable future."
Deputies on duty around the county have been ordered to step up their presence at schools in general. "If they pass an elementary school, they are to travel through the lot, observe what's going on in and around the schools and, if time permits…walk in the schools," he said.
Williams said his department wants students, parents and school faculty to feel safe.
"I want to assure the public the Sheriff's Office has trained for…active shooters in schools," he said.
Superintendent Dr. Travis Reeves said he feels the county's schools are safe, but had convened a meeting Tuesday with school principals the ACSO and to discuss any security concerns.
Reeves said the BOE had already planned review of the school system's crisis plan, and said a policy of locking all interior doors during the school day will be adopted throughout the school system. He has also considered adding keyless entry systems and additional security cameras.

I cannot believe that Henry is already 5.5 years old! He is tall (IMO, but hey, I am 5'1'' on a tall day) and skinny. He eats well (but doesn't like cooked vegetables) and enjoys going to preschool.
He had tubes placed in his ears around 6months of age, then again last year. That was when we discovered that his left ear never healed properly and he now has a 5mm hole that will eventually be surgically repaired.
We were recently told by his ENT that he will more than likely have a hearing aid next spring. His language is on track - but he has difficulty with certain sounds - sch, sh, ks in the middle of words. They are not uncommon, especially given that he was a preemie, is a boy, is bilingual and has a history of chronic ear infections.
He is very talented - he draws amazingly, designing manuals for the things he wants his dad, opa, uncle to build him, loves playing music and is a true clown.
I expect an asthma diagnosis in the spring - his ped says the diagnosis isn't usually made until they are closer to 6.
Sofia, my non-preemie, wow, what can I say? She still gets colds and stuff, but never to the same extreme as Henry.
BUT - the ENT has recommended permanent tubes for her ears. Has anyone else had them? Her first pair fell out in less than 1 year and she has chronic ear infections too ...
Here's a pic of Henry and I, one when he was a few weeks old and just came home, the other just the other day:

i am a newbie and im very glad i found this site a few days ago and now a part of this forum, i read a lot of amazing stories from parents and it touch me completely since i am also a mother of a premature baby boy who was born 29 weeks( 7 months ) earlier.
i would like to share my experience too because it was near-death, unimaginable and unforgettable one.
i am a healthy woman before i get pregnant, and my normal blood pressure is always low. lower than the normal 120/80, i got pregnant last December 2008 at the the age of 28, then i gave birth last year.
things get complicated after the 1st month of my pregnancy, started to have nausea, easily tired, no appetite on any food at all, constipation, badly dehydrated, and worst of all is that i puke/vomit more than 20 times a day. things get worst each passing day, and what hangs me on is that i am always counting all the blessings i got specially i have a very understanding, loving, caring and supporting husband beside me all the time.
it was a very hard pregnancy during that time since i suffer from depression, anxiety, easily hurt and very sensitive in a lot of things. the most frightening moment is that i had 2 times convulsion at home, and 1 at the hospital before i was rushed in the operating room for Caesarean section, so all in all, 3 TIMES CONVULSION. i was totally blinded or lost my vision at home alone then i recover my vision temporarily and then again i got blinded while i was in the hospital.
after they put the general anesthesia on me i was totally unconscious for almost a day, i woke up in the middle of the night not knowing where i am, for it was a very quite, cold place and then, shock! seeing myself stuck in the hospital bed, very dizzy and drowsy, with alot of wires in my chest, noisy monitor above me, oxygen tube on my nose, 5 IV needles on my 2 hands and pain on my abdomen, then everything flashes back and one nurse came and tell me exactly where i am, well, I WAS IN THE ICU,
yes, i was in the ICU for 3 days and 2 nights, it was shocking that me and my son could have died if we arrive a little bit late.
but what breaks my heart is knowing my son is also battling himself against death in the NICU, and i felt so hopeless that moment since i cannot even see him immediately for the nurses in-charge on my safety in the ICU have to monitor and check my bp, my urine, etc, couple of times in an hour, it was such a painstaking hours just lying and watching my son only in the video taken by my husband.
i am indeed very blessed by God for He helps my husband keeping his sanity, helps him endure all the pain and surrow, He leads him the right way to hold on, to never give-up, to face all his fears, to be grateful to be hopeful and patient while me and my son were battling our own lives. imagine the tough times he had while juggling his time going back and forth, to me and to my son. he even spent a night and sleep just outside the ICU, just to be near me and spend more time with our son.
well, to cut the story short, mine was already eclampsia and was kinda famous for some of the doctors and interns in the hospital since the last time they encounter a patient less severe than i had was more than 10 years ago.... and my baby was born 29 weeks and 1 day, 1 kilo and 135 grams and with jaundice, anemia and with a hole in his heart, praise God it closes by itself 2 weeks after he was born, he stayed in the NICU for 45 days, and the doctors praise him for he's very strong, a fighter and his development was so amazing and improving good day by day. he was release in the NICU when he reaches 2 kilos and 500 grams.
now my little angel is 1 year old and 3 months this coming October 10, hes a happy, healthy, charming, friendly, sweet, loving, talkative, curious, beautiful and smart baby, he even try to sing songs on his own language, ;) and soon he will start to walk by himself. i may have a death defying pregnancy, suffered traumatic experience in the ICU AND NICU but its worth it for now i have a very special son which im very proud of everywhere i go. and a family where i can count on in tough times and good times. and also im proud to say we were in the best hands of those team of doctors and nurses who gave their best efforts to help us save our lives specially my son's life.
thank you very much for reading my story, cheers to those to who made it safe, mother and children, and to those who are in their ordeal, please dont give up, pray hard, and even if you see your baby inside the incubator with all those tubes, etc. dont let them feel your fears, weaknesses, your surrows, your pain and anguish, your and resentment. instead touch them, hold them gently but with assurance that you are there for them, that you love them unconditionally, talk to them, sing to them slowly but not loud, and if you can hold them in your arms already, do the KANGAROO CARE as much as you can. and whisper to them all the time, LOVE AND GRATEFULNESS.
believe me, IT HELPS big time, coz thats what my husband taught me every time i break down and cried thousand times, and thats one of the big factors and reasons why my son's recovery was very fast and promising, and one thing for sure is that nothing can beat the magic and healing touch between the parents and the premature babies.

King Mo Lawal has boxing clause in his contract, would like a fight with Kimbo Slice - Bloody Elbow
Mo isn't content to stop with just a tournament win and his new career as a professional wrestler. After Martinez News-Gazette boxing columnist Mark Ortega (Follow him on Twitter: @MarkEOrtega) told me that he was told by Mo that he had a boxing clause in his contract and was possibly interested in a bout with Kimbo Slice, I asked our own Stephie "Crooklyn" Daniels (follow her on Twitter also! @CrooklynMMA) to follow up.
On his contract:
I got a boxing clause in my contract. I just gotta get through this tournament and be healthy. Bjorn said that he was going to get me fights. But the thing with the contract is that we gotta agree on the opponent. But someone like Kimbo Slice? I'd be alright. We could hype that up, they can get behind me...More on why he would like to fight Kimbo:I think King Mo vs. Kimbo Slice would be a good boxing match. I got good training, he's got good training. I want to make it happen. So my main goal is to get through this tournament, win it, defend it, defend the belt once or twice and after that get that fight with Kimbo.
That's why I've been training with Jeff Mayweather so hard. Trying to get my boxing skills up. I think me vs. Kimbo would be a good fight. We could put it on Spike TV or something!
IStephie also asked what his ultimate goal in boxing would be and got a very thoughtful answer:like Kimbo Slice, I like what he's doing. I like the fact that he crossed over to boxing and he's actually training and he's going out there and knocking people out. Granted, they aren't high level, but he's just starting. I feel like me vs. Kimbo...that'd be a good fight. My speed vs. his power.
My ultimate goal is to win a regional title. Like the USBA or the NABO title. After that, I'm retiring because I'm gonna get beat up even worse. I spar with them boxers at the gym and I get the business. Michael Hunter Jr.? Whoops my ass. Andrew Tabiti? Whoops my ass. I like it. You know what I'm saying? I feel like if I'm getting training with the best guys, these mid-level guys ain't gonna be nothing to me.

Operation Drywater in Full Force This Weekend
The wet weather won't keep people off the Maine waterways this weekend. Boaters will be out and about. But so will three law enforcement agencies stepping up checks and enforcement…cracking down on drugs and alcohol use on the water. Shawn Cunningham reports on Operation DRYWATER.

I'll admit that I'm a very competitive person by nature. Whether I'm playing a game of Monopoly, video baseball, trivia or an actual sport, I want to win with every ounce of being that is within me.
I took a communication conflict class at the University of Tennessee and the professor told me I was the most competitive student he had ever had in the class. Of course, that was a few years before a certain quarterback by the name of Peyton Manning took the class.
I don't want this to come out the wrong way, but I've always held the belief that if you show me a good loser, I'll show you a loser every time. That's not to say I don't believe in accepting defeat as graciously as possible and showing good sportsmanship. However, I think, there is a difference between being a good sport and a good loser.
A good sport congratulates their opponent, but the bitterness of the loss sticks with them for a while as they strive to get better. A good loser blows off a loss as part of life and finds their sense of happiness in just playing the game.
I guess there's nothing wrong with perspective if you like losing, but I don't like losing.
Every Thursday morning I can't wait to open the Daily News sports section to see how I'm doing on the Panel of Experts football picks section. I enjoy seeing my name at or near the front of the pack.
Sometime my desire to win the weekly picks will lead me to choose the team I think will win over the team I want to win. Most people know that I never want the University of Tennessee or Gulf Breeze High School to lose. I hate picking against the schools I attended and still hold dear, but when it comes to winning or losing I'm going to pick the team I think will win.
I know my picking against Crestview or Baker doesn't always sit well with local players and fans, but it's nothing personal I just want to win.
When making the picks I try to throw out the emotional angle and look at the straight hard facts. If a coach tells me off the record that a key a player is injured I'll keep that information to myself, but it will influence my picking process.
I try to find out as much as I can about teams from outside the area when I'm picking a game involving a school from another state or another part of Florida. It's not always easy, but I do want to win and will look at every side of things in deciding who might win.
Yes, a fire that burns deep inside me hates losing, even when it comes to football panels.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Rangers agreed to terms with free agent forward Kevin Hayes on Wednesday.
Hayes was selected with a first-round pick by Chicago in 2010, but could not agree to terms with the Blackhawks by the deadline last Friday and became a free agent.
The Blackhawks retained Hayes' rights through college. He concluded his collegiate eligibility last season and had until Aug. 15 to reach a deal.
Hayes was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as the top player in college last season. He skated in 40 games for Boston College and compiled 27 goals with 38 assists to rank second in the nation with 65 points.
The 22-year-old Massachusetts native scored 44 goals and added 88 assists for 132 points in 142 collegiate games. He helped BC win the national championship in the spring of 2012.
Chicago, under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, will receive a compensatory pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. It will be the No. 24 selection in the second round.

George H.W. Bush: It's Time To Get Behind Romney
By Wade Goodwyn
In Houston Thursday, former President George H.W. Bush endorsed Mitt Romney's run for the Republican presidential nomination. Bush's endorsement is one more signal from the Republican establishment for the party to close ranks behind Romney.
