Perry unveils tax plan in SC
Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:49:01 GMT — Related Stories Cain still topping Romney in latest SC poll SC counties: Early primary not legal Cain edges out Romney as leader of latest SC primary poll SC GOP moves up presidential primary, retains first in the South voting
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry proposed dramatic tax and spending changes Tuesday, saying he would let Americans choose between a 20 percent flat tax and the current system, allow private Social Security accounts and slash government spending and regulation.
Perry, seeking to regain the momentum he enjoyed in late August, said his plan would significantly spur economic growth. But analysts from the left and right said he would need draconian federal budget cuts to avoid massive deficits.
South Carolina is a critical state for Perry. The first-in-the-south primary state is key to his path to the GOP nomination, though Perry has fallen in the polls here and nationally.
A CBS/New York Times poll released Tuesday showed Perry has fallen to fifth place behind frontrunner Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Perry checked in with six percent of the vote, a seventeen point drop since mid-September. The Texas governor is trailed only by Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman.
In a pitch to conservatives Tuesday, the Texas governor said his "Cut, Balance and Grow" plan was bolder than what his Republican rivals or President Barack Obama would do. His proposal calls for gradually increasing eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare and for amending the Constitution to require balanced budgets.
"America is under a crushing burden of debt, and the president simply offers larger deficits and the politics of class division," Perry said while campaigning in South Carolina, whose primary will follow early voting in Iowa and New Hampshire. "Others simply offer microwaved plans with warmed-over reforms based on current ingredients."
After weeks of calling Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," Perry proposed major changes to the program's funding and payouts. Benefits would not change for current and soon-to-be retirees. Eventually, however, the eligibility age would rise, and wealthier people would see reduced benefits.
The heart of Perry's plan would reduce or eliminate an array of taxes. He would end taxes on Social Security benefits, estates, dividends and capital gains, which would most help upper-income people. He would lower the corporate income tax rate as well as the personal income tax rate for those who choose his 20 percent flat rate.
The top marginal tax rate on individual income is now 35 percent. It was 70 percent in the 1970s.
Perry's plan would let people exempt $12,500 of their income, plus $12,500 for each dependent, from taxation. He would keep popular deductions, such as those for mortgage interest, state taxes and charity gifts, for families making less than $500,000 a year.
Herman Cain was the first presidential candidate to propose a flat tax this year. He called for a 9 percent income tax rate -- and no deductions for most people -- along with a 9 percent sales tax.
Perry spent Tuesday morning touring a plant in Gray Court, before unveiling his "Cut, Balance and Grow" plan. During an afternoon visit to Columbia, Perry continued to push his plan and picked up an endorsement from South Carolina House Speaker Bobby Harrell.
"I truly believe that America's best days are still ahead of us," said the Charleston Republican Harrell. "But, we need a leader who will steer us back to prosperity."
Supporters of the Perry plan say it will generate jobs and improve the economy by increasing workers' take-home wages. Critics argue the proposal will benefit high income families and hurt the middle class.
Detractors weren't hard to find on Tuesday, just hundreds of feet from where Perry was meeting with the media. Occupy Columbia demonstrators, who have been rallying outside the State House for almost two weeks, were ready to share their opinion.
"I feel like if you get a normal person, working a normal job, doing normal things, it's going to affect us more than anyone else," said Occupy Columbia demonstrator Sarah Parker.
Perry pitched the opposite while pushing the simplicity of his rebooted tax proposal. Perry claimed taxpayers could file their returns on the postcard he waved in front of the television cameras at his stops in Columbia and Gray Court.
"Taxes will be cut across all income groups," Perry said. "The net benefit will be more money in Americans' pockets, with greater investment in the private economy instead of the federal government."
Perry acknowledged that many of his proposals, including the private Social Security accounts, are controversial.
Currently, Social Security payroll taxes paid by workers go directly to today's retirees, with any surplus used for other government programs. Perry said private investment accounts would generate more money for future retirees.
President Obama's campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said Perry's economic plan "would shift a greater share of taxes away from large corporations and the wealthiest onto the backs of the middle class." Some analysts, however, said middle class taxes might be unchanged because the flat tax would be optional.
Rick Perry wasn't the only politician talking economics in South Carolina on Tuesday. Rick Santorum attended a fundraiser at the Spice of Life restaurant in Spartanburg where he talked about his own tax proposal.
"We put a plan together that simplifies the code, doesn't have folks at the lower and middle spectrum paying more taxes," said Santorum. "Every body's going to pay less in taxes but you're going to make more income. So ultimately I guess you're going to pay more, but it's okay cause you're making more money."
Santorum is one of just three candidates currently trailing Perry in the latest poll.
Perry's policy speech Tuesday sets him to the right of chief rival Mitt Romney, who wants to make less sweeping changes to the tax code. Perry plans to air TV ads in Iowa and has hired a roster of experienced national campaign operatives to help him. Perry's chief adviser on the economic plan is former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, who proposed a 17 percent flat tax when he ran for president in 1996.
Romney released a 59-point jobs plan in early September. Romney would lower rates on corporations and on savings and investment income for middle-class Americans.
Do you think Perry's proposal will improve his standing in the polls ahead of January's first-in-the-South primary?

NEW PORT RICHEY — Construction could begin as early as next year on the first of two Raymond James Financial towers, executives said Tuesday after the Pasco County Commission approved a $10 million incentive package for the firm's new Wesley Chapel campus.
Raymond James executives who showed up for the unanimous vote said they hope to open the first tower by 2013 and complete the second tower by 2020.
"This is a first step," said James Soble, an attorney for the St. Petersburg-based financial services company. "There's a lot of planning that needs to be done."
Company officials will spend up to nine months performing "due diligence" on the Wiregrass Ranch site at State Road 56 and Mansfield Boulevard to make sure it has no environmental problems, said company spokesman Steve Hollister.
County commissioners were all smiles at Tuesday's meeting. The company expects to eventually bring 750 jobs to Pasco. The move is also expected to add $40 million to county property tax rolls and generate $135 million in taxable sales, according an analysis by the Pasco Economic Development Council.
"This has been a very fruitful process for Pasco County," said County Administrator John Gallagher, who noted that county staff worked on Sunday to make sure the documents were completed in time. "This is just the beginning of trying to change the way we do business."
The landing of Raymond James is huge for Pasco County, particularly since it comes on the heels of financial giant T. Rowe Price's purchase of 94 acres on State Road 54 near Land O'Lakes for an office complex that is expected to create 1,600 jobs over the next decade.
Pasco has been trying to transform itself from a bedroom community to an employment center. Being the runnerup for an expansion of H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, the collapse of the housing market and the urging of private business leaders all played a role in the county's efforts.
"John Gallagher and the staff were fantastic," Soble said. "We look forward to continuing to work with them."
To help expedite the process, the county formed a rapid response team of top administrators to help break through any red tape. It was similar to what was done for T. Rowe, and assistant county attorney David Goldstein says it will likely be done for other high-profile projects. He stressed at the meeting that none of the incentives offered to Raymond James required a property tax increase.
"The $1.9 million was already set aside for economic development," he said, referring to the money the county will pay Raymond James for job creation.
In addition to the $10 million in various incentives from the county, the state is kicking in about $5 million.
The race to win Raymond James was competitive, with company officials reviewing more than 80 sites in the Tampa Bay area as well as the company's operations center in Southfield, Mich.
But Wiregrass won out because of its access to the interstate, its location farther from hurricane evacuation routes, the availability of land and the sweeteners that were offered, said company officials and Don Porter, one of the principal landowners of the ranch.
Porter said the process began about a year ago when engineers who worked with them learned of an unnamed company that wanted to build a new site. "They asked if we were interested," he said. "For a long time, we didn't even know who we were dealing with."
News of the deal, along with language in a state grant application, drew some concern in Pinellas because it described 350 "net new jobs" and 400 "retained" jobs.
But officials reiterated their intentions to maintain the work force in Pinellas at the Carillon Parkway office complex. "There will be no change in the head count in Pinellas County," Soble said.
Hollister said that new location is solely for expansion and that no jobs would be taken from Pinellas or Michigan.
"If current corporate headquarters-based employees move to the new location to fill expansion-related jobs there, a similar number of positions would be expected to be retained or created at the corporate headquarters in Pinellas County to keep the home office at or near capacity," he said.
Not that anyone at the Pasco County Commission meeting was worrying about that as they basked in the glow of the victory.
"Now Gallagher's getting a chance to play with the big boys," said Commissioner Pat Mulieri, who jumped up like an eager schoolkid when Chairwoman Ann Hildebrand called for a motion to approve the deal.
"Raymond James Financial — gosh, that does sound nice," Hildebrand said as she read the agenda item.
In other news, commissioners:
• Gave final approval to the $1 billion county budget. The spending plan keeps the property tax rate the same as the current year, $7.68 on every $1,000 of assessed value. Because of declining property values, the county lost $3.3 million in property taxes. The spending plan includes money to keep operating the two county pools and for Sheriff Chris Nocco to hire 23 new staffers to combat prescription drug abuse. The budget takes effect Oct. 1. Commissioner Jack Mariano was the lone no vote, citing continued dissatisfaction with the $2 parking fee at 11 county parks. "It's still a sticking point for me that I feel very strongly about," he said.
• Approved a rate increase for people on the county's water and sewer system. A bill for a typical home using 6,000 gallons per month would go up from $60 to $65. That bill would also rise gradually over the next four years to $72. Officials say the higher rates are caused by inflation and planned capital improvements.
• Approved the new boundaries for commission districts that the county will use for the next 10 years. After rebalancing the population after the census, each district now has roughly 93,000 people. The school district traditionally uses the same district boundaries and earlier gave initial approval to the plan. Both county commissioners and School Board members are elected countywide but must live in the district they represent.
• Selected top legislative priorities in advance of a meeting with Pasco's lawmakers next week. Commissioners highlighted four items: more state transportation money, tougher rules on prescription drug abuse, continued funding for a school infrastructure program and restrictions on utilities that violate local comprehensive plans. The meeting will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at River Ridge High.

Having Lupus means that we have a compromised immune system. We are prone to viruses and get ill quite easily. It is hard for us to fight off infection and taking an immunosuppressant makes it even harder. That is why we are advised to take precautions to avoid infection while taking this medicine and to avoid anyone who might have an infection and report any signs of infection to your doctor.
However, what is more important is that you take this medicine regularly as prescribed. DO NOT STOP taking it and do not take more or less of the medicine than is prescribed UNLESS under the direction of your doctor. You are supposed to notify your doctor if you miss even a dose of Imuran.
There are times that your doctor might reduce or even stop Imuran when you are being treated for certain infections. This allows your body to effectively fight the infection. If you are not being treated for infection, you should not stop taking your Imuran. You should contact your doctor immediately if you develop a fever or chills, a sore throat, unusual bleeding or bruising, mouth sores, abdominal pain, pale stools, or darkened urine. These could be early symptoms of dangerous infections or conditions.
I think that it might be a good idea for you to contact your doctor regarding your sinus infection, advise him of the type of cold medication that you've taken and advise him that you've stopped taking your Imuran.
I hope that you start to feel better soon. Keep us posted.
Peace and Blessings

"All three Steyr pistol models are functionally identical with variations in barrel lengths, grips and capacities," Steyr Mannlicher's press release relates. "The M-A1 is the full-size pistol with a 4-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, a full-length grip and high-capacity box magazine, while the S-A1 is the compact pistol with a 3.6-inch barrel, shortened grip and a 10-round magazine. Both handguns are available chambered in either 9x19mm Luger or .40 S&W. Available only in 9mm, the C9-A1 features a 3.6-inch barrel, a full-length grip with a high-capacity magazine. All barrels are cold-hammer forged with conventional rifling, and chambers are fully supported." Now how much would you pay? "All M-A1, S-A1 and C9-A1 handguns will carry an MSRP of $560, offering an $89 savings for consumers." So five bills or less in the real world. You in? If not, what price (if any) would you pay?
27 Responses to Steyr Mannlicher Knocks $100 Off Entire Pistol Line-Up
Wow, what I wouldn't give to field strip that.
haha, you beat me to it.
No detail strip and thorough checking of springs?
Shame about the tattoos, she'd be a really pretty woman except for those.
Might want to see ALL the tattoos before drawing final conclusions.
Tattoos rock.
$300-450 depending on what came with it, how much I liked it, and the warranty.
Points docked for being of foreign manufacture, though. (Unless I'm wrong 'bout that?)
Apparently I can't edit my posts now? Ah well. As I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy putting a few rounds through one of those.
Are you talking about the gun or the girl?
Maybe I missed something in the video. Where is the pistol? 😉
I paid $475 a couple months ago for one of those bastard M9's imported by PW. Love that gun and would definitely recommend it to others.
I was wondering if the caption of the video "field strip" referred to the woman or the firearm.
Not really interested in Steyr pistols myself…but if they were under $500 MSRP new, maybe!
The thing is that you can get a Glock, an XD, or even an M&P for that money, and even the XD has more market penetration than the Steyr.
That means that you can actually FIND parts and magazines, and generally at reasonable prices, too.
yes but are they better guns than the steyr?
You guys need to get out more if you find her to be anything more than marginally attractive.
You need to get out more if you think your opinion is definitive for anybody other than yourself.
You need to get out more if you think a bunch of slobs sitting around drooling over cleavage is anything other than creepy.
durr hurr hurr I'd like to have sexual intercourse with her. If you know what I mean. durrrrrrrrr
Every time there's a picture of a girl on this site, it's like somebody announced the sale of Date Rape raffle tickets at the SausageFest in the middle of Stalker City.
I remember when the Steyr pistols could be had for just over $300. Didn't like them then, nor now.
Grip angle is terrible, worse than a Glock. Sights are definitely a "get used to it" feature. Would have to sell (street price) for at least $100 under a comperable M&P, XD, or Glock to be interesting.
The grip angle is fantastic – not only is felt recoil almost nil, but it makes it incredibly easy to keep on target while shooting. As for the sights? Yes, they're a bit different than the standard sights, but the M9 is absurdly accurate. My first time shooting one I had no problem drilling half a dozen shots in a row right through the bullseye at about 20 yards. I'd never even heard of the Steyr M9 before purchasing one on impulse from my favorite gun shop – best gun purchase I've ever made.
Now that the Walther PPQ is available, nothing. What's it going to give me that the PPQ doesn't do better? Nothing.
better grip angle, lower bore axis, and 357sig for starters.
walther P99 > walther PPQ anyway.
I had an M-A1 in 9mm that went back to Steyr twice for repairs. Don't need to spend that much money for a gun that I can't ever trust. They do shoot great, but that is only a part of the equation. I mean look how well Glocks sell and they can't shoot anywhere as well as the Steyr or a 1911.

Technical Article => Business => Samsung
Samsung S3 defeats iPhone 4S in sales in Q3
The market research firm Strategy Analytics publishes a research report which states global sales of Samsung Galaxy S3 is over iPhone 4S in the third quarter of 2012, it becomes the most popular mobile phone.
From the chart below, Galaxy S3 was sold 18 million units in Q3, while iPhone 4S was sold 16.2 million units. Galaxy S3 took market share of 10.7%, and iPhone 4S took 9.7%.
Perhaps people are not willing to buy iPhone 4S due to the launch of the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4S sales lost to Galaxy S3. iPhone 5 was sold six million units in Q3, accounting for 3.6% of the global smartphone market share, it is slightly higher than the Galaxy S3 by combining iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S share.
But we have to say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has very strong sales, sales of the models in the second quarter of 2012 were 5.4 million units, it rose to 18 million units in the third quarter, an increase of more than 200%. Its global market share rose from 3.5% in the second quarter to 10.7%, the overall share of the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 in the third quarter was 13.3%, an increase of 0.6% over the second quarter only.
Of course, it is expected in the fourth quarter of this year, the iPhone 5 will beyond the Galaxy S3, to regain the throne of the world's most popular mobile phone. In the Android market, there will be more and more excellent models, it's very difficult that Apple would like to keep the status of the most popular mobile phone.

MIAMI BEACH (Oct. 7)
A million dollars in Israel Bonds were sold at a Bonds for Israel dinner here last week. The affair was addressed by Moshe Gilboa, Consul General of Israel in the Southeastern United States, and the Israeli minister for economic affairs in the U.S., Simon Alexandroni. Mr. Gilboa referred to the warm welcome extended to Israeli Premier Gold Meir on her visit to this country and said it was indicative of continuing American friendship for Israel and U.S. understanding of Israel's security and economic needs.
Mr. Alexandroni said Israel's security problems did not overshadow the country's economic expansion or its educational and social development. He said that Israel needs financial support to acquire the necessary deterrents to attack while at the same time continuing its development in other areas.

Especially considering that birdshot is aimed skyward, what is the maximum range at which various sizes are hazardous as opposed to merely being a heavy rain? Same for buckshot in case it is aimed skyward such as at a treed critter. How far away would 00 our 000 or 4buck still be likely to cause injury?
One of the reasons I ask is to determine the distance at which people should be kept back and away from a trap, skeet or sporting clays range. How far away should the exclusion fence be?

One clay range around here has a 150 yard safety space, but I've no idea if that's more than enough.

Several of the clays ranges in my area have sporting clays stations set up in a circle around the shotfall area. The distance appears to be about 200 yards but I have never measured it off so this is a guess. Several times while shooting sporting clays I have been showered with spent shot from the trap ranges. I have seen several trappers complain of being hit with shot. Apparently trapshooters often load #6 shot to get better hits (shot larger than 7 1/2 is verboten on most ranges). I have never heard of trapshooters at the club complaining of shot from the Sporting Clays shooters.
Personally I would try to get as much distance as possible if I were setting up a range, especially if non shooters are in the picture. Also post signs prominently indicating the largest shot allowed, it only takes one jackass loading leftover #4 shot to cause problems.
Btw, one range has a herd of deer that graze on the grass in the shotfall area, they seem to know where to stand and not get hit, and the shooting doesn't seem to annoy them at all!

We use 300m for bird shot up to and excluding BR size #4 ...700m for all others and buck.
These are very conservative on purpose and take into consideration a 33 degree elevation (by an idiot) in a semi-circle from the firing point... as well as the possible "welding" of small pellets to form a heavier projectile. Unlikely - but possible- I am afraid.
Be cautious...I have a local story of a camera-man hit at 600m by a BB when taking shots of firers at a "safe " distance.
OK - OK it only just broke the skin and he was also a shooter, but if it was in the eye of an anti-gunner...well you can imagine the headlines !!!

Big Bunny-
A person was hit by a BB at 600 meters? Sounds like there might be some anti-gunners writing the news stories in your local paper!
Interesting story, though.
I've often wondered myself the "maximum" range where the pellets could be considered dangerous to an adult who is dressed in typical garments. It would be useful to know when facing an armed adversary, too.
It's like, "Hmmmmm, he's out about 200 meters with a shotgun...I have moderate cover and I'm wearing jeans and a leather jacket with a .45 ACP. He's wearing a nylon jacket and has minimal cover."

Blue Jays -this report I mentioned was from a SSAA photographer in the 1960s and I agree it is inexplicable... but I fear possible. It was on a bird-hunt with beaters in VIC and he was getting some publicity shots for the Game Farm, who was holding the invited shoot. I supposed that someone had got their cartridges mixed up! These were BRITISH size BBs of course.
A bit like a certain american servics USAF gentleman we had shooting woodies(pigeons) in Suffolk in 1960s. We set the decoys and hide and 'left him to it' in a wheat field as he was an expert shot with a 12 bore.
We heard a LOT of shooting and came back 3 hrs later, to pick up his(many expected as he was a Sabre pilot and excetent shot) shot birds, (breasts of which make and excellent pie!)but only found 3...but they were in a real mess, with their insides literally blown out.The pilot retired to the big (manor)house swearing he "should have got 50" and couldn't understand his inaccurate shooting!
We were mystified too ...until the packets and empties were picked up behind him.
On each brown cardboard cartrige was printed "D>D - Lethal Ball" !! (war-time use by home guard - anti personnel) Someone must have sold him them!
So he did quite well after all really.
Any volunteers (Blue Jay?) for a quiet english country-lane walk 600yards away?
Not me

If a guy dumps you because of rumours,and you realy felt for him,should i try and prove the rumours aren't true?
If he's going to dump you over something as silly as rumours, then he's not emotionally mature enough to stick around for a length of time. It's best to find someone who isn't going to listen to gossip.
I now don't have to respond to this question! Well said. If he didn't bother to find out if the rumors were true he's either immature (get rid of him) or looking for an excuse to back out of the relationship (get rid of him). Yep. I agree.
Tell him they aren't true, but I think he is too immature to take the slagging he will be getting from the other lads about the rumour. I have had experience in that and regrettably I was too immature. So perhaps that is the reason.?.
This is the easy way out for him to avoid being bullied by his friends. I would say he is definitely being influenced by them. So in that sense you can feel better about yourself (in that it is not to do with out that he has broken it off) and maybe slightly understanding towards him. The situation sucks for you if you do really like him because he's probably just a boy in the face of the slagging he gets and not yet a man. :/ If you think this is helpful don't hesitate to ask any more questions. I think I have his perspective. I wonder what the rumour was!?!
No, because by trying to prove rumours wrong, you give them importance they don't deserve. And if he doesn't trust you enough to ignore them, then you give him more importance than he deserves.
NO! If rumours matter more to him than the integrity you have shown him (which was a fundamental he liked after your initial attraction) he isn't worth it!
if a guy dumps you because of rumours , means he had not trust in you to begin with. the foundation of youre relationship was not strong, its up to you if you want to work on it
no you need to prove nothing to anyone except yourself .. he shoud understand
Why bother?
theres not much point really cause if he,s prepared to risk your relationship on rumours he aint worth having
No because He don't know or care about you if he didn't he wouldnt believe in rumors he would first try to be by your side and trust you
One of my biggest pet peeves...is

Getting accused of something I haven't done!

I feel as if I have been given credit for someone else's efforts.

What you could do if you can't sort out your troubles....by the way, I feel really bad that you fell in this Barney...you could reverse engineer this fiasco and

Prove the rumors right (depending on the rumors of course and whether they appeal to you).

What are the rumors anyhow?
This third part fellow is jealous that you are with his buddy. What a shame. Karma has legs...and it will catch him!
IF there is no truth to the rumors, just tell him so and don't bring it up again. If he doesn't believe you, let him go as he's not the type to trust you, and your life will be hell.

In the 1960s, when I was a child, I imagined life in the far-away West through American movies and from watching TV series like "The Lucy Show" ("I Love Lucy") and "Father Knows Best." Back then, Japan's economy had begun to pick up steam, and through comedy series such as these, people visualized a lifestyle they longed for, complete with a huge fridge stocked with Coke and a living room with sofa and TV. Then, in 1968, along came "The Odd Couple," a movie starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, that appeared to perfectly portray this feel-good America.
It was originally written as a play by Bronx-born Neil Simon — who cut his teeth writing sketches for Phil Silvers and Jerry Lewis and went on to become the grand old man of Broadway with shows such as "Sweet Charity," "Chapter Two" and "Biloxi Blues." "The Odd Couple" was first staged in 1965 at the Plymouth Theater in NYC where, with Matthau and Art Carney playing two men living together after their marriages hit the rocks, it ran for almost 1,000 performances.
The story's classic sitcom humor is based on what happens when this duo — long-term friends but completely different types, one sensitive, precise and clean (Carney/Lemmon), the other carefree and casual (Matthau) — are thrown together at this testing time in their lives. Even though each one tries hard to help the other, the strain on their relationship goes from bad to worse.
Hence, as with so much great comedy, this is really a rather sad situation — but one that's highly entertaining when observed from the outside. As Simon himself once said: "Life is both sad and funny. I can't imagine a comical situation that isn't at the same time also painful. I used to ask myself: What is a humorous situation? Now I ask: What is a sad situation and how can I tell it humorously?"
Simon told this particular sad story twice: The original odd couple of Felix and Oscar were revisited in 1986, when the dramatist wrote another play of the same name in which the central characters are both female: Florence and Audrey. Parco Theater is staging both alternately (and it takes two trips to the theater to see both).
The basic story line is the same in both versions, but the two take different directions due to the change of gender and setting. Most crucially, these intriguingly contrasting productions arrive at opposite conclusions — in one, the men's friendship ultimately endures and deepens, in the other the two women go separate ways as they reclaim their independence.
Directed with great originality and attention to detail by Yumi Suzuki, one of Japan's foremost directors of contemporary dramas depicting young people's lives, the productions also sparkle thanks to changes made to the existing translation by Suzuki's long-term collaborator, Sanae Iijima. The comedy is ratcheted up several notches, as, for example, in the treatment of the two Spanish brothers who are the women's neighbors in the 1986 version. These two are hilarious in everything they do — and especially everything they say in side-splitting broken Japanese. Indeed, the whole cast delights: Each actor disappears into his or her character, and all act with evident enjoyment — none more so than Kyoko Koizumi, whose Audrey is a gem, and Kazuyuki Asano, who makes the supporting role of Felix and Oscar's friend Vinny completely his own.

Upturned Nose, and Other Concerns, 3 Months Post Op Unsure if It is Due to Swelling?
Doctor Answers 3
Upturned nose after rhinoplasty
We can't tell clearly from your photo, however after three months it is unlikely that the tip will drop. Whether you like the result or not, or your surgeon for that matter is a question of aesthetic judgment. Planning and understanding of the proper goal is so important. At this point you should wait things out as going back to your old nose is not easily done, however improving on what you have with care is possible.

Upturned Nose, and Other Concerns, 3 Months Post Op Unsure if It is Due to Swelling
Your early result at 3 months looks good. You will undergo much swelling off and on for at least 6 months to 1 year until the final shape settles down. followup with your Plastic Surgeon.

Marked Improvement at 3 Months Following Rhinoplasty
Rest assured that your nose even at 3 months is well balanced and is improved over the nose from before surgery. I think the area that is probably bothering you is the area above the tip. If this area were to be thinned out, this would change the appearance quite a bit. This area may just be swollen. The width of the nose has likely not reached its smallest point, and the tip has not either. Give yourself several more months and followup with your plastic surgeon.

Mabel (Drew) Seward
Married 11 May, 1908
Lyons, Kansas
Their daughters: (clockwise from top)
Coy Avon Seward was born March 4, 1884 in Rice County, Kansas. He was the son of Roscoe Conklin Seward and Hetty Ann (Bohrer) Seward. He was one of two children - his sister, Gail Vernelle Seward was born June 18, 1887
He attended school in Chase, Kansas and in 1901 graduated from Chase High School. He started out working in the lumber business, but soon discovered that his his energies were better spent in becoming a commercial artist. He attended Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas and then Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, where he studied with the well known artist Birger Sandzen.
On May 11, 1908 he married Mabel Elizabeth Drew, the daughter of Carle Enrique Drew and Estella Jane (Meacham) Drew in Lyons, Kansas. They established a home in Wichita, Kansas that year.
To outline his life's accomplishments is a project beyond the intention of these pages. In addition to becoming a fine commercial artist he established himself as a lithographer and printmaker. He was one of the founding members of Prairie Print Makers and his prints are included in the collections of many museums.
His health was never good. He died after a long illness 31 January, 1939.
|"In spite of frail health too, he is always genial and full of a very droll and personal brand of wit. His friendship is a solid blessing and he withholds it from no one. He will fight anyone's battles but his own, for his ingrained modesty shies away from the spotlight and his perfect generosity disinclines him to take an earned advantage. . ."
Gail Vernelle Seward was born June 18, 1887 at Chase, Kansas. She married Emmett Rondeau Wood, son of T.J. and Cynthia (Burden) Wood, Jr. on 8 November, 1907 in Kingsley Kansas.

Steve Stoute, Game Urge Fans to Boycott Los Angeles Clippers Games
Steve Stoute and Game are among those in the hip-hop community outraged by the purported racist comments made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, which were caught on tape by a former girlfriend. Both men are urging fans to boycott the team by not attending future games.
In an interview with ESPN's 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd,' Stoute, who runs the marketing firm Translation, said one of his clients, State Farm, has pulled their sponsorship of the Los Angeles Clippers despite the team's star, Chris Paul, being their spokesperson.
Stoute also said that he will not buy tickets to the team's games and is urging fans to do the same.
"It's the league itself," explains Stoute. "It's the businesses that sponsor this team that have to be appalled with that comment and that racist point of view and they have to stop supporting. And it's the fans that have to say, 'I am not going to buy tickets or things and support a team that has racist comments.'"
"If they don't want African-Americans at the game, they don't want Latinos at the game, they don't want women at the game," he continued. "If that's the feeling, then we all have to stand up and do that. I think the combination of sponsors, owners and the fans boycotting will force the sale of that team."
Stoute continued the diatribe on Twitter, tweeting, "The fans should boycott [and] the sponsors should boycott ASAP. This is not what the NBA is about. LA standup and boycott and use your power to cause change."
In addition to Stoute, Game has launched an #ESC (Empty Seat Campaign) campaign on Instagram with hopes that fans boycott the next Los Angeles Clippers game (see the photo below).
"In the support of my own race, Hispanics & every other race whose been fighting current & past racism I have now started the #ESC which is short for #EMPTYSEATCAMPAIN asking ALL Los Angeles residents to boycott the next Clippers game by not attending which will prove that we are more of a MAJORITY than the previously stated "minority" label given to us by Mr. Sterling," he wrote.
Meanwhile, R&B singer Tank has announced that he will not sing the National Anthem at the Los Angeles Clippers playoff game on Tuesday (April 29) in protest of Sterling's alleged comments.
"As an African-American man and artist, I must take a stand on a matter that is so deeply personal to me," the singer said.
The TGT singer also said that he will no longer attend Clippers games, as well.

Garber sets deadline for Beckham deal
The ongoing transfer saga involving the Los Angeles Galaxy's David Beckham and AC Milan is set for conclusion, one way or another, by the end of the week.
MLS commissioner Don Garber told the media Wednesday that he has notified the Galaxy that if a transfer agreement for Beckham is not completed by Friday, MLS will not approve a transfer.
"There is no reason why this should drag on," Garber said. "They [AC Milan] either want to do it or don't want to do it.
"This Friday, we need to know if they want to buy David Beckham or not."
Garber said he notified the Galaxy on Tuesday that the league wants the Beckham situation resolved by Friday, with AC Milan either making a bid or passing on Beckham.
"They need to understand that this is getting very close to the start of our season," said Garber, who revealed that Milan had yet to make a formal offer for Beckham. "We have plans that we need to make if David Beckham is part of those plans."
Garber also confirmed that Beckham does have an out clause in his MLS contract that he can exercise after the 2009 season.

Around 60 participants bedecked in fluorescent shorts and T-shirts – along with glow necklaces and glasses – took to the starting line Saturday evening for the House of Hope 5K Glow Run and two-mile walk. The event was a fundraiser for children's services at the Lexington-based shelter for sexually and physically abused children and adults.
Christal Milligan, House of Hope volunteer coordinator and advocate, said the first-time event raised more money than anticipated and plans are in the works for next year's run.
"The Glow Run was a big success, thanks to so many. We were so glad to see so many come out in support of House of Hope and child abuse and neglect-awareness month," Milligan said. The event capped off April's child abuse awareness month.
Milligan also said she was appreciative of the help of Richmond Police Department, particularly to Chief Chad Burnine for police escorts for runners, and officers Amy Sisson and Ashley Dodson. Ray County Undersheriff Brian Bush was also at the event, but as a participant. He was the overall men's master winner.

SOUTHEND'S survival hopes suffered a huge blow on Saturday as they were beaten 24-22 at fellow strugglers Lydney.
The narrow defeat, which was the Seasiders' seventh in a row, leaves them second from bottom in the standings, five points from safety.
But their director of rugby Chris Green still feels his side have what it takes to stay up this season.
And he feels they may need eight more wins to make that happen.
"It was a big game on Saturday and we're disappointed to lose but it's still all to play for in the matches we have left," said Green, who also returned to the starting line-up for the first time in two years.
"We have six home games remaining against teams in the lower half of the table and two or three of them away from home as well.
"I personally don't think Lydney will be one of the sides fighting it out this season but there is still a long way to go.
"I think we're going to have to win another seven or eight games if we're to stay up which does sounds like a lot when you haven't won for a while.
"But that's the position we're in and we have to remain positive."
Southend looked strong in the first half at Lydney and, after going behind to a Danny Trigg penalty, they enjoyed a 20 minute period of pressure.
During that spell Todd Bailey exploited a gap out wide to secure the Seasiders' first try and this was replicated by Mark Billings just three minutes later.
The fit again Andrew Frost kicked the conversion before Sam Arnott added a drop goal to put Southend 15-3 in front.
Lydney were struggling at this point but started to claw their way back in to the game with another Trigg penalty.
The home-side's first try of the afternoon then followed in the 27th minute when Josh Hannan kicked ahead and beat Arnott in the race for a touch-down.
The conversion was missed but soon kicked his third penalty just before half time to cut Southend's lead to 15-14.
However, the second half was a complete reversal of the first and, with some puzzling decisions going in their favour from the referee, Lydney were in total command.
A fourth Trigg penalty on 52 minutes gave them a 17-15 lead and a fine try from second row Dave Bennett converted by Trigg then put them 24-15 in front.
In reply, Andrew McClintock forced his way over for a late try which Frost again converted but by then it was too late to spark a comeback and Southend will now be hoping to bounce back at home to Clifton this weekend.

Press B to jump. This is more or less useless by itself because blocking the

To smash, you can either press B to jump, then let go and very quickly follow
it up with A. If you miss the timing it will look stupid, and it's not very
easy to grasp straight away. Often you will think you have done it correctly
yet it didn't result in a smash. Don't fret, it will come to you in time. As a
secondary approach you can simply press B first and your opponent will most
likely do an air hit, or a lift, but then follow it up by adding the B button.
By keeping both pressed it makes it easier to perform the smash, you will see
for yourself. This way is not only easier, but you can also keep A pressed for
a few moments.
*Note that the real badminton rules are different, and often change over the
years. These rules apply for this game only.
The court is rectangular and divided into halves by a net. Courts are almost
always marked for both singles and doubles play. The doubles court is wider
than the singles court, but the doubles service court is shorter than the
singles service court.
Each game is played up to 15 points for Boys and 11 points for Girls. A player
wins a point when they serve, and win the right to serve if they were
receiving. A match is the best of three games.
The server stands in his right service court when his score is even, and in his
left service court when his score is odd.
If the score reaches 15-all for Boys or 10-all for Girls, then the game
continues until one side gains a two point lead (such as 17-15 or 12-10).
Players win a rally by striking the shuttlecock onto the floor within the
boundaries of their opponents' court. Players also win a rally if their
opponents commit a fault by smashing into the net, out of the boundaries or on
their own side. During the serve the shuttle can only be played into the
square diagonally across.
So at first you probably get beaten 15-0 15-0 and feel this game is impossible,
yet these tips may help improve you chances a bit. Of course, the more you play
the better you should be getting as well.
- Smash, smash, smash, that is the easiest way to get points. The opponent
hardly ever get those returned so they are as "bad" as you. Learning the
smash will give you a good chance to win early on. Of course, smashing from
too far back won't exactly help winning a point, but I've found it to be a
better return than a normal one that is easily returned by the opponent.
- Positioning is very important. Watch the shadow of the shuttlecock as it
approaches and quickly run there. I know this is horrible at first but you
may get the hang of this sooner than you think. If you don't know how to
position your player then you are most likely still going to lose 11-0 in a
short time.
- Give the shuttle some direction because else you will give the opponent an
easy task to win the point. Cross to another side of the court instead, and
s/he will have to do some walking.
- During serve, stay near the net, you will see pros doing that to for the same
reason. The serve is often weak and having to run forward takes too long.
- Serve short for a generally weak return by the CPU.
- Because the game is not very user-friendly you also want to keep the points
short. In other words, take risks rather than long back-and-forth that will
are much easier to handle by the CPU.
- Finally, if you are playing 2P then coordinate like in real-life and do not
dash for each shuttle blindly.
- Ok if all else fails, we can win the old fashion by way by cheating:
Place the right player (your opponent) outside of the area.
Set address 002E at value 20 to do so.
Only switch this on while you are getting ready to serve, win the point,
then switch it off so the opponent can run back to their position. Repeat
this process until you are the winner pretty soon. Once you switch sides, set
address 002C at value 20.
[Thanks to AdamL for these]
If you still can't win, don't be too upset. This is probably one of the hardest
games the NES ever produced.
Good luck!

Lauren Sudeall Lucas knew as a student at Harvard Law School that she wanted to do public interest work, but said that "fate" brought her as a summer intern to the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta. "The work was the most compelling that I had been exposed to, and I envisioned it being something I could do full-time after law school," Lucas, 33, said. She joined the center as a staff attorney in 2007, representing clients on death row and also taking on civil lawsuits relating to larger issues of access to justice.

Advocates of a $275,000-per-farm limit on government subsidies have lost the support of California's senators, who have decided the Senate-passed cap was unfair to their cotton and rice farmers.
Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, whose state is by far the nation's largest agricultural producer, are asking the Senate's lead negotiators on new farm legislation to back off the payment limit.
Under current law, farmers can receive some subsidies in unlimited amounts, and they could continue to do so under a House-passed farm bill. Boxer and Feinstein were in the majority when the Senate voted 66-31 last month to approve the $275,000 limit. House negotiators are strongly opposed to the cap.
"Large cotton and rice farms in California are family farms which should continue to receive payments, and not be discriminated against because of their size. These are not millionaires, but hard working family farmers," Boxer and Feinstein wrote in a March 7 letter to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.
John Maguire, a lobbyist for the National Cotton Council, said the switch by California's senators could cause other senators to reconsider the payment limit.
Chuck Hassebrook of the Center for Rural Affairs, a Nebraska-based advocacy group that supports the Senate provision, said Monday that the cap should be altered to make it fairer to cotton and rice producers. Those crops are subsidized at higher rates than crops such as wheat and corn because of their higher production costs. "The House bill has no limits. One farmer could farm the whole country and get millions of dollars ... under their bill," he said.
Analysts agree that cotton and rice farmers would generally fare poorer under the Senate bill as opposed to the House version because of the payment limit.
A 2,365-acre rice farm in California, for example, would lose $91,000 this year under the Senate bill but earn a $173,000 profit under the House bill, according to a study done for Congress by Texas A&M University. A 2,000-acre cotton farm in California would make a $190,000 profit under the Senate bill but would earn even more, $230,000, under the House version.
Boxer and Feinstein still support a provision in the Senate bill that would ban subsidies to anyone with incomes exceeding $2.5 million.
A Senate-House conference committee that is working on reconciling differences between the two bills has scheduled its first meeting for Wednesday.

Strictly Come Dancing's Michelle Williams whips partner into shape
Strictly Come Dancing 2010 contestant
Michelle Williams has proved she really is an 'independent woman' in a training session with her Aussie dance partner
Brendan Cole.
The ex-Destiny's Child singer has definitely been wearing the trousers in her dance partnership with Brendan, whipping him into shape as she bossed him around in a training video released by the BBC.
Michelle showed off her best snake-hip moves as she strutted her stuff learning the Cha, Cha, Cha from her pro-partner, in preparation for Strictly's first live show on Friday October 1st.
She joked that she'd need to put a sofa bed into the studio so that she could rest after Brendan 'tortured' her in the training sessions.
Ordering Brendan around, Michelle shouted 'whip it!' at him and forced him to imitate her doing a slightly clumsy twisting movement.
Brendan, who partnered Jo Wood – ex-wife of Rolling Stones' singer Ronnie Wood – on last year's show, did manage to get a word in edgeways by the end of the training session.
He quipped: 'You look a bit like my dad dancing actually; it's quite nice.'
Grammy Award-winning singer Michelle last year landed a starring role in Chicago in London's West End, playing the character Roxie Hart.
Before that, she was part of the multi-million record selling trio, Destiny's Child, who are recognised as being the best-selling R&B girl group of all time.

Democrats' Sweep in California Could Have Lasting Impact
By Rene Sanchez and Lou Cannon
It is a sweep that could bring seismic change to the nation's largest state, and it has enormous national implications.
Led by Gov.-elect Gray Davis, who crushed his Republican opponent, Dan Lungren, California Democrats have put themselves in a position to exert a profound influence in the next presidential election and alter the balance of power in Congress.
By promoting moderate messages to a largely content electorate, stressing issues such as education and successfully branding their opponents as political extremists, Davis and other Democrats recaptured the political center – and the state – from the Republicans who had dominated California politics.
"In this election, the Republicans shot themselves in the foot and then put the foot in their mouth," said John Davies, who managed a Republican congressional campaign along the state's central coast.
As governor, Davis will play a decisive role in determining how California's 52 congressional seats will be realigned after the 2000 census, a potential boon for Democrats. Nationally, California almost always dominates presidential politics because of its size, diversity and potential for campaign fund-raising.
Davis has vowed to steer the state in a direction much different from the one Republican Gov. Pete Wilson has chosen over the past eight years. Wilson, who could not seek reelection because of California's term-limits law, led divisive campaigns to end affirmative action, government services to illegal immigrants and bilingual education.
Throughout his campaign, and in the aftermath of his victory, Davis said improving the state's floundering public schools was his top priority. Speaking to supporters here late Tuesday night, Davis said, "The era of divisive wedge issues is over once and for all."
Today, as he bounded from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area on a victory lap with Lt. Gov.-elect Cruz Bustamante, the first Latino elected to a California state office, Davis announced that as soon as he is sworn in he will convene a special legislative session on California's education problems.
"The message I believe this election sent is that voters want problem-solvers, not ideologues," Davis said during one stop today. "They want people who worry about them every day, who worry about how their schools can improve, how their neighborhoods can be safer, how they can keep and get better jobs."
Davis, 55, is promising to toughen the standards that California has for hiring and evaluating teachers, end social promotion of failing students, improve the state's low reading scores and set aside $3 billion over the next five years to supply schools with new textbooks. Davis also opposes giving students tuition vouchers to attend private schools, an idea Lungren stressed in his campaign.
Only a year ago, Davis was still not well known among most California voters, despite the fact that he was the state's lieutenant governor and has been a fixture in politics here for more than 20 years. Even Democratic strategists had doubts that Davis's cautious – and some say dull – political style would give him much of a chance in a state that has elected Republicans as governor since 1982.
Davis won with strong backing from women, blacks, Latinos, young voters and even some moderate Republicans apparently attracted by his views on schools, the environment and crime, and unimpressed by Lungren's attempt to style himself as a conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan.
Lungren also had worked much harder than Republicans in the past to win over California's fast-growing Latino electorate. But exit polls on Election Day showed that four of five Latino voters supported Davis and that nearly the same number backed incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in her campaign again Republican Matt Fong.
Among the few positive signs for Republicans amid the wreckage were the successful House campaigns of two moderates who had better luck than Lungren in attracting Democrats and independents. Both won their party's nomination largely because of the state's new open primary, which Sacramento political analyst Tony Quinn, a former GOP adviser, calls "the potential saving grace of the GOP."
In the Sacramento area district vacated by Rep. Vic Fazio (D), Doug Ose won decisively Tuesday after upsetting a favored conservative in the primary. And in a Los Angeles County coast district, Assemblyman Steve Kuykendall narrowly defeated Janice Hahn, a strong Democratic candidate. Kuykendall and Ose favor abortion rights. They also took moderate positions on gun control and environmental issues, on which Davis effectively depicted Lungren as extreme.
Democrats hold a 28-to-24 lead in California's post-election House delegation, a GOP gain of one. But the current district lines are nonpartisan, drawn by a court after Wilson vetoed a redistricting plan by the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
"With a map and a few hours, it would be easy to draw lines that would cost four Republican House members their seats," Quinn said.
A partisan redistricting plus the new seats added by the census could give Democrats six or seven additional seats in the 2002 election, about the margin by which the GOP will now control the House.
To accomplish this, Democrats must hold the state legislature in 2000, which now seems likely. They gained five seats in the state Assembly on Tuesday, pushing their edge to 48-to-32, and two seats in the state Senate, where they have a 25-to-15 majority.
"There is almost no way Republicans can recapture the Legislature two years from now," said A.G. Block, editor of the California Journal, which analyzes state politics. "This was the year they had their best chances and they blew most of them."
Political change in California has often been an omen of national trends. The Democrats last won the governorship, the U.S. Senate and legislative control in 1958, when Edmund G. "Pat" Brown became the state's second Democratic governor of the century. Two years later, John F. Kennedy was elected president, ushering in eight years of Democratic national control.
Similarly, Ronald Reagan was elected governor in 1966, two years after a Republican presidential debacle that left analysts wondering if the GOP could survive. Reagan, like Pat Brown in 1958 and Davis Tuesday, carried in others on his party's statewide ticket. Two years later, the Republicans won the White House and held it for all but four years before Clinton was elected in 1992.

I don't think running with Wheeljack is the best idea either. Sure, he could steal the Apex Armor (which I wouldn't recommend), but Wheeljack's pretty banged up too from Hardshell (not to mention Starscream, Makeshift, Dreadwing, and Soundwave. He's gotten beat up in every episode he appeared in). I predict they'd both die easily.
Besides, in the Human Factor, Bulkhead and Smokescreen seem to be taking on Breakdown together. Perhaps this would be a nice time to patch things up.

Does anyone know or suspect why EYE weekly has stopped doing restaurant reviews? They used to be weekly but only a few have appeared since May.
Months ago they printed one letter from the editor with the same complaint I have... it seems remarkably unsupportive of Toronto businesses, especially over the summer when the hospitality industry was suffering so.
Perhaps due to my budget I went to lots of EYE reviewed places and was usually pleased. Anyone else think this is weird?

WORLD War One was the great conflict which claimed millions of lives, many in the horrific trenches in France.
Next week marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the long four years which changed history.
Today, The Bolton News starts a series of articles recalling the heroes from our town and their heartbreaking and sometimes heartwarming stories.
On Monday, August 4, to mark the outbreak of the war, we will be publishing a special supplement with the names of the thousands of Bolton men who died, along with more stories from the front.
Here is the story of young soldier Edward Davies whose war service still remains a mystery to his daughter.
JEAN Brady never knew the horrors her father witnessed during World War One.
Edward Davies refused to talk about what he had seen and done saying "it wasn't fit for young ears", the 81-year-old says.
But now she wants her father to get the recognition she believes he deserves for years of loyal service to king and country.
He was just 17 years old when he signed up and was hospitalised three times during his Army career.
He fought in France and the Dardanelles, although exactly what happened to Edward remains a mystery to his family.
Jean, who lives in Johnson Fold, says she is "very proud" of her father.
She has various items of untold sentimental value to her, including a photograph of a very young Edward, possibly taken in Egypt in 1914.
There is also a photograph of Edward with his wife, Ethel, in which he is in full uniform.
He had married Ethel in October, 1918, at St Paul's Church, Astley Bridge and the couple had five children, Ethel, Doris, Edward, Rosie and Jean.
Edward was born in 1896 — he died in 1960 — and his parents were Thomas and Sarah Davies. Although he was born in Hindley, by 1911 he was living in Bridgewater Street in Farnworth.
At that time Edward was working as a colliery winder, below ground.
In 1913, Edward enlisted in the Manchester Regiment 1/5 Battalion and, in 1914, he was in Alexandria, Egypt.
In 1915, he was at Gallipoli, in the Turukish Dardanelles, where he suffered various illnesses, three of which needed hospitalisation in Alexandria.
In 1917, he was in Marseilles, France, where he joined the British Expeditionary Force.
As happened with so many British soldiers, Edward succumbed to a gas shell attack — this was on July 8, 1918, and he was in hospital for a month before returning to his unit.
He also suffered from malaria and this caused him problems throughout his life.
He came back to Bolton in 1918 and lived in St Georges Road where, in October, he was still in the Army.
On January 26, 1919, he was awarded the British Star and Victory war medals. On December 12, he was also awarded the Silver War badge.
Edward's medals were loaned to his daughter, Ethel, shortly before she died in a fire in 1962.
It is thought the medals could well have been lost in the fire.
When he left the Army, Edward went back to the mines but in 1954, a few years before his death, was working as a labourer for the cleansing department. His occupation at the time of his death was listed as a refuse incinerator.
Jean recalls her father had a depression at the front of his skull and she was told by her mother that this resulted from a bullet ricochet off his helmet.
He was, says Jean, a quiet man of few words. He would usually be seen sitting in his favourite chair by the open fire of their back sitting room in the house in Clarence Street, which was close to Bolton town centre and the focal point for many family members — especially at weekends.

Interlocal plan with City blocked
An Interlocal agreement between the City of Red Lodge and Carbon County for the realignment and reconstruction and pavement of Airport Road fell at the first hurdle last week when two commissioners, John Grewell and Doug Tucker, felt the project was a "misuse of county funds." "The City receives the revenue to maintain that street, and the county receives revenue to maintain county roads," said Grewell. "We get a lot of complaints about the condition of county roads, even the last mayor of Red Lodge complained about the condition of 2-Mile Road saying it was the worst road in the area. And the answer he got was 'we're doing the best we could with what we had.' I don't think the county's infrastructure is in such a condition that we can take resources for county maintenance and put them into an incorporated city that is already receiving revenue for that street's maintenance." Commissioner John Prinkki pointed out, prior to the motion to accept had been turned down, that Airport Road gives access to the Carbon County Fairgrounds and the airport and is used by "a lot of traffic" including County road crews as well as EMS services. "It's in a deteriorating condition and this is a good opportunity to repair that road," he said. He felt that Carbon County's investment of using a motor grader, a roller, and two operators over 3 days of construction time at an estimated cost $7,000, mostly inkind, made for a "good project." "We share that road. State statute encourages Interlocal agreement, for joint projects," said Prinkki. "If the county wasn't going to do it for nothing, then the City would have to hire a private contractor, so in essence we are doing the work of a private contractor for nothing. And I don't think government should be involved with competing with private contractors. The work doesn't belong to the county. It's not in the county," said Grewell. Included in this project, which will see the junction of Airport Road lined up with Lazy M Road along Highway 78 during the reconstruction projects, was the proposal to pave the gravel road running south of the fairground into Remington Ranch. "There were a lot of small moving pieces we were working on behind the scene to try and make this happen, obviously fiscal year 14 isn't the year to do this," said Forrest Sanderson, Community Development director. "There were a lot of things we were hoping to correct with Airport Road during the realignment of the Highway project." Grewell added that the decision was "not directed at Red Lodge." "Joliet wanted help with their shop and we couldn't do it. It's unfortunate the whole commission wasn't involved at the beginning," he said.
