Treadmills are ideal pieces of exercise equipment on which novice runners can begin their training. Someone jogging at a 4.0 on a treadmill would take 15 minutes to jog one mile. This is brisk walking speed for some and a slow jog for others, depending on stride length and leg turnover. Using a trea...Read More

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By Matt Byrne firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
The white-haired man in a flannel shirt and suspenders sat among a bevy of reporters and listened intently while Portland Mayor Michael Brennan pleaded for the nation to take up stricter gun laws, especially for so-called assault rifles.
Jeffrey Weinstein, president of the Maine Gun Owners Association, talks with reporters after a news conference at Portland City Hall last month.

It was weeks after a deeply troubled young man armed with his mother's .223 caliber semiautomatic assault-style rifle shot 26 children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Finally, in a timbre honed by years of Saturday mornings spent behind a radio microphone, Jeffrey Weinstein spoke up for the Second Amendment.
"One thing that kind of bothers me is the definition of assault weapons," said the 70-year-old retiree from Yarmouth.
Like other advocates, Weinstein opposes designating one weapon as more dangerous than another based on its cosmetic features, such as a collapsible stock, muzzle flash suppressor or pistol grip.
As president and founding member of the Maine Gun Owners Association, Weinstein has spoken up for gun rights in Maine for years. But, since the Newtown shootings in December, he has made newspaper headlines and TV news broadcasts, granted dozens of interviews and become a go-to media spokesman for defenders of the right to bear arms.
Weinstein is less outspoken about his association, however, and has refused to say how many dues-paying members the group has or who they are. Weinstein, who has granted interviews to this newspaper in the past, was hesitant to discuss his life and role as an advocate and declined to return repeated messages requesting comment for this story.
Weinstein has worn many hats in his career -- candidate for public office, radio engineer, Air Force serviceman, Yarmouth school board member, Civil Air Corps volunteer, libertarian conservative talk-radio host and firearms instructor.
"He's done everything," said George A. Fogg of North Yarmouth, listed in state records as the gun association's vice president. "He's a chief instructor, and he's run many, many classes to get more people involved in teaching gun safety."
Born in Portland and a graduate of Deering High School and the University of Maine, Weinstein's early career led him to Massachusetts, where he worked at defense contractor Raytheon, and then at stereo manufacturer Bose Corp., representing the company in marketing presentations across North America, according to a biography posted on a 2010 campaign website.
After a stint being stationed in Europe in the Air Force, Weinstein returned to Maine in 1977. He operated a marine electronics company before serving 17 years as CEO and president of Portland Marine Operator, the ship-to-shore communication company for Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He also hosted a two-hour talk show on WLOB until about 2005, said Jon Van Hoogenstyn, station manager.
Weinstein leads the Yarmouth Republican Committee, although in the late 1990s, he was active in the Libertarian Party of Maine. During his unsuccessful bid for the State House in 2010, he proposed eliminating MaineCare to allow unfettered competition among insurers; reducing taxes; and eliminating burdensome state regulations to foster job creation.
But no job, political campaign or volunteer project has thrust him further into the spotlight than his role as an outspoken gun advocate.
And even if there is scant evidence that his group is more than an email list of like-minded Mainers, Weinstein clearly shares the viewpoint of many in the state who believe firearm ownership is a uniquely American bulwark against governmental intrusion on private lives. After Newtown, Weinstein has pointed to the federal and local attempts under way to legislate firearm ownership as evidence of overreach, saying that incremental limits now will lead to an outright ban on weapons down the road.

Administrator Toolbox
District and school leaders plan for educational opportunities, and corresponding teacher education, that respond to the learning needs of all their students. However, not all schools and districts offer services for high-ability students, or have leaders and teachers with backgrounds in gifted and talented education.
Because of the increasing number of requests for information for administrators about high-ability and high-potential learners, NAGC convened a task force of administrators to develop concise videos, fact sheets, and supporting documents -- tools that district leaders can use as briefing materials and as the starting point to advocate for and implement services for gifted students.
The materials in the toolbox address:
We invite you to explore and view the 5 to 7-minute videos (click on the toolbox icon ) as well as download and share the factsheets and other materials with principals, teachers, superintendents, and other leaders in the district.

An Interview with Tim Ozgener
C.A.O. International Inc. has now been in business for 40 years, evolving from making pipes to producing cigars.
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
Daniel Craig, November/December 2008
Tim Ozgener, the president of C.A.O. International Inc., is following in the footsteps of his father, Cano, who founded the Nashville, Tennessee, company in 1968. The 39-year-old Ozgener is a former stand-up comedian with the eye of an artist, which is evident in the visually arresting packaging and nontraditional blends that make C.A.O. one of the world's most innovative cigarmakers. Ozgener recently sat down with senior editor David Savona to speak about the 40th anniversary of C.A.O., and the changes in the company since its January 2007 acquisition by Holland's ST Cigar Group, the maker of Henri Wintermans cigars.
David Savona: Let's start from the beginning, and talk about C.A.O. and its origins. Tim Ozgener: This is our 40th year. My father started the business in 1968 out of the basement of our home, and it was really just a hobby. It was his love of meerschaum pipes. We started shipping out of the garage of our home, and it was something that developed organically into a family affair.
Q: It started as a pipe business, and you and your sister, Aylin, would help your dad? A: Yeah. He is an Armenian who was born in Istanbul. He was trained as an engineer, and he didn't like the engineering of the pipes [that he smoked]. He improved the engineering, and he went to a retailer in North Carolina, and the guy said, "Where did you get that pipe?" And my dad said, "Well, I made it." The guy wanted to order some, and my dad said, "Listen, son, when you are Armenian, you never say no to an order. How many do you want?" [Laughs.] This retailer had some pull, and soon people started calling our house phone, and people wanted to order my dad's pipes. They wanted to make sure the pipe had the same improved stem, and he started putting his initials on the pipes, which are C.A.O. [for Cano A. Ozgener.] That's how the company started. He didn't have any employees, so when my sister and I were home, we would occasionally hear my dad say, "Are you done with your homework? Come downstairs." Downstairs, it would be a sea of pipes, and he would say, "This row of pipes—$45. Go." And he would hand us the pricing gun.
Q: So it was a very modest beginning. A: Oh yeah. Looking back on it now, there are some fantastic stories. He had a retailer that he would do barter deals with—pipes for green coffee beans, and he would cook the coffee beans in a pan. And I would wake up in the morning and I thought there was a brush fire in our house because there was a haze of smoke. I would say, "This smells horrible, Dad!" He said, "You do not know what the hell you are talking about. This is quality! I am roasting coffee—look how oily the beans are!" He was a mechanical engineer. He used to analyze microfibers, so he was into the specifics of everything.
Q: How did C.A.O. evolve from a company making pipes to a company that's best known for its cigars? A: When you're going to the trade show, it's basically pipes, cigars and humidors. And it's a small circle of people. My father got to know everybody, and he saw a trend of cigars having a resurgence, thanks in large part to Cigar Aficionado, and celebrities smoking again. So he said people need humidors. He was in London, found some beautiful antique boxes, bought 30 of them, shipped them here and lined them with Spanish cedar. They were all vintage pieces from the 1700s and they would sell out each time we went to the trade show. They would retail around $2,000, $3,000. So based on that demand, my father decided to make humidors that were more reasonable. And we were pretty proud of the fact that we were the first company to make humidors out of solid cherry, mahogany and walnut here in the United States. We found two woodworkers who were perfectionists like we were, I would help my dad put them in the back of his hatchback, and we shipped them from our home. Humidors quickly became a big part of our business—I remember at one point it was 60 percent of our business.
Q: It quickly overtook pipes? A: Meerschaum pipes were really a niche. It's not like briar pipes. Right around 1993, '94, there was an opportunity to get into cigars. That's when cigars were red-hot. Everybody wanted them, and demand superseded quality and supply. Most everybody told [my father] not to get into the cigar business, but there was one man who told him yes, the late Peter Stokkebye, who was buddies with my dad.
Q: The pipe guy. A: Yes, he and my dad had a very close personal relationship, Peter said, "Cano, go for it. Don't listen to anybody else. They don't want you in there anyway, you're just another competitor." So he went for it, and right around 1994, '95, my father hooked up with Carlos Toraño, who introduced him to Nestor Plasencia. And they made the first C.A.O. blend, which was C.A.O. Black.
Q: The C.A.O. Black came out during a crazy time for cigars. Was it a successful launch? A: There was a very specific blend and look that it was supposed to have. I remember going down to Honduras and seeing people I didn't know lined up outside of Nestor's door hoping to get him to make a blend. The factory was just crazy. One box would come in and [the cigars] would be chestnut brown—the shade that we had agreed upon. But another box would come in and it would be green. Another would be yellow. I was living in Los Angeles, and California was everybody's No. 1 market. I was visiting all the stores, and I'll be honest with you—it was easy to sell out there—retailers were buying anything.
Q: The inconsistencies didn't hurt? A: Initially, it didn't hurt it. People just needed a cigar to sell. But once things started slowing down, which took a couple of years, then people said, "Tim, I like you, but it's really hard to sell this product. Customers want something that's consistent."
Q: So when cigar sales started to normalize, you heard that there were some problems with these things. A: Humidors were still a bigger part of our business. Cigars were ancillary at that time, but nonetheless, we wanted to be successful with them. When you visit all these stores, I like to connect with people, and when I said, "Help me out, what will it take to be successful?" they said, "Try this, try that." You smoke a lot of cigars and you start developing a palate for what the consumer is asking for. That was an education for me. In 1998, we met with Douglas Pueringer at Tabacalera Tambor in Costa Rica. He wanted to diversify his business, he had some great wrappers in maduro, and that's when we came out with our L'Anniversaire Maduro. People smoked it and said, "This is a great cigar."

Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 to one of the royal families of the Transkei, the eldest son of a Temba chief. He studied at the University of Fort Hare until he was expelled for participating in a student protest. After moving to Johannesburg he completed his arts degree by correspondence with the University of South Africa in 1942 and then studied law at the University of Witwatersrand. He joined the African National Congress in 1942.
After the National Party came to power in 1948 and inplemented apartheid, Mandela became one of the four deputy presidents of the ANC and took part in its Defiance Campaign of 1952. He was charged with treason in 1956, but acquitted after a five-year trial. His charisma and planning underpinned everything the ANC did in the crucial years up to 1963, when he was arrested, tried and sentenced to life imprisonment.
He spent the next eighteen years in the maximum-security prison for political prisoners on Robben Island, and later moved to Pollsmoor Prison. While in prison he became a potent symbol for the anti-apartheid movement. In response to increasing domestic and international pressure he was finally freed on 11 February 1990 and the ban against the ANC was lifted. He became leader of the ANC and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. In 1994, when South Africa held its first multiracial elections, Mandela became president and led the country until he stepped down in 1999.

If the Big 12 is the camel's back, then Texas' new Longhorn Network is looking more and more like it could be the straw that breaks it.
As we noted last week, reports out of College Station have officials at Texas A&M worried and concerned about their rivals' $300 million soon-to-be-launched television network. They're worried that it could provide a recruiting advantage for UT. They're concerned that their fans might some day have to actually subscribe to the thing just to catch the Horns and Aggies play ball (though there's a slim chance of that ever happening).
Texas A&M's board of regents has actually added the Longhorn Network to the agenda of its regularly scheduled board meeting at the end of the week. That news — naturally — led many to believe that A&M had called a meeting to talk about a planned move to the SEC. Not so.
Repeat after us:
1. Texas A&M will someday join the SEC.
2. That day is not in the immediate future.
The Houston Chronicle reports that an "insider" says A&M is still committed to making a 10-team Big 12 work and that "the threat of a potential move to the Southeastern Conference is not in the immediate future."
In other words, just calm down on the expansion talk. As we've been saying for two years now, the A&M-SEC flirtations have gone on since the 1980s and the days of ADs John David Crow and Joe Dean. When push came to shove last year, Mike Slive's private plane touched down in College Station. And the majority of Aggie fans are now gung-ho for a move east. See point 1 — this will happen. Someday.
But someday could be a year, two years, five years or 10 years down the road. (Based on the economics of college athletics and the ridiculous level of distrust that already exists among Big 12 schools, we'd put our marker somewhere between the two and five year points.) This is not something that can or will happen on a whim. And even if A&M were ready to jump ASAP, Slive made it clear last summer that the SEC wasn't interested in raiding a stable league. If the Big 12 broke apart, then A&M and Oklahoma had invitations to land in the Southeastern Conference. For now, however, the Big 12 is still somewhat stable. If you consider this stable:

Have an OG Razr. Love it, but it's lost it's luster with developers who are focusing on more state-of-the-art devices. Verizon upgrade eligible mid-2013. Would love to see this happen in this time frame. As a Nexus device, it might stay current for a much longer period of time.
Could it be the phone in the artwork here?

I like the idea of focusing on the camera. I think there's real opportunity there. But when they start talking about unique or unusual shapes that sounds like a recipe for failure.
Then you go flexible display for durability, but also then easily breakable ceramic?!?

Patent landscape reports describe the patent situation for a specific technology in a given country, region or on the global level. They usually start with a state-of-the-art search for the technology of interest in suitable patent databases. The results of the search are then analyzed to answer specific questions, e.g. to identify certain patterns of patenting activity (Who is doing what? What is filed where?) or certain patterns of innovation (innovation trends, diversity of solutions for a technical problem, collaborations).
An essential component of each patent landscape report is the visualization of these results in order to facilitate their understanding, and certain conclusions or recommendations based on the empirical evidence provided by the search and analysis.
Patent landscapes can therefore be useful for policy discussions, strategic research planning or technology transfer. However, they provide only a snapshot of the patenting situation at a certain point in time. In a wider sense, some patent landscapes reports may analyze the validity of patents by referring to legal status data, and thereby form a basis, e.g., for freedom to operate analysis.
WIPO's patent landscape reports are based on the development agenda project "Developing Tools for Access to Patent Information". The project is described in document CDIP/4/6, adopted by the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP) in 2009.
For further information please contact us.
On-going Work at WIPO
WIPO has been mandated to prepare patent landscape reports in areas of particular interest to developing and least developed countries, such as public health, food security, climate change and environment. For that purpose, WIPO is developing, in cooperation with interested external partners such as institutions from member states, intergovernmental or non-governmental organizations, the scope of each report. The author of each report is selected in a tendering process based on specific terms of reference.
Published Patent Landscape Reports
Patent landscape reports on various topics have been published by international organizations, national intellectual property offices, non-governmental organizations and private sector entities. WIPO has compiled a list of such reports that are freely available or can be obtained upon request, either free of charge or for a fee.

New Milford Event brought flavor of Ireland to Hunt Hill Farm
What a wonder it was. Irish author and novelist Frank Delaney's 30-minute performance, featuring memorable tales of "My Hidden Ireland!" took place March 8 at Hunt Hill Farm, to benefit its cultural and culinary programs for families and children. Pierce Campbell of the Kerry Boys entertained guests with haunting Irish songs. The songs' origins were recounted by Frank with relish, his signature humor and a joyful love of his birth country. Ellen McCourt, honorary chair of the event in honor of St. Patrick's Day, introduced Frank.
One-hundred and twelve ticketholders at the sold-out event feasted on North Atlantic smoked salmon; braised lamb stew; Irish seafood coddie; potato and caramelized onion colcannon; and homemade raisin soda bread pudding with Bailey's Irish Cream-infused whipped cream.

They're not talking expansion in Boise. At least not yet.
|Boise is poised to make a big hit on the title scene. (US Presswire)
The Broncos have a legitimate chance to play for it all. The Boys of the Blue Turf will be ranked high enough to make a run in every major poll. They kick off the season with a high-profile game against Virginia Tech and, later, against Oregon State. They're certainly good enough with almost everyone back from a 14-0 team. That made it 26 wins in the past 27 and three undefeated regular seasons in the past six. That also included two Fiesta Bowl wins.
Even Alabama hasn't done that.
Oh yeah, I went there. But let's save the strength of schedule debate until at least August, shall we? For now, don't say you weren't warned as the next offseason Top 25 makes its debut.
Armed with the knowledge of the past four months, it's obvious that after expansion and Alabama defending, Boise State is going to be the biggest story going into 2010.
1. Alabama (Previous rank, No. 1): Now we'll see how the Crimson Tide play with everyone chasing them. I'm guessing pretty much how they've played the past two years when they played for two SEC titles (winning one) while spending a total of six weeks atop the BCS standings. I can't wait to see offensive coordinator Jim McElwain turn loose quarterback Greg McElroy (with Nick Saban's blessing, of course). It should be McWonderful.
Spring fling: Who cares if the secondary needs rebuilding? Dre Kirkpatrick is a budding star.
2. Boise State (2): No use bitching about how the Broncos don't belong here. It doesn't matter. They're going to start in the top five, which means if they win all their games, they will most likely play for the national championship. It's all about September when Boise plays the Hokies and Beavers. Win those two and the Broncos won't lose again in the soft WAC. Quarterback Kellen Moore is a legitimate preseason player of the year candidate, if not Heisman winner in December.
Leading the nation: ... in returning starters. Twenty-one of 22 return in addition to most of the two-deep. Yes, this team deserves to play for a national championship.
3. Ohio State (3): I knew the Buckeyes were going to be OK the moment I ran into Gene Smith at the Final Four. "How's Terrelle's knee?" I asked him. "It's good," Ohio State's AD said. That's enough for me, and should be good enough for the nation. If the Rose Bowl was Pryor's corner-turning game then the Bucks will be contending for a national championship.
Don't sleep on Miami: In a rematch of the 2002 national championship game, the Hurricanes come to Columbus on Sept. 11. Terry Porter is not expected to be in the house.
4. Florida (5): Who else are you going to pick to win the SEC East? In the first year post-Tebow the Gators are still a powerhouse. The guess is that the offense will be a little less explosive but with the talent Urban Meyer has assembled this team has at least 10 wins (and a BCS bowl) in it.
The quarterback thing: Meyer has had plenty of practice, winning a national championship with a conventional quarterback. Anybody remember Chris Leak? John Brantley has a better arm.
5. TCU (4): Quarterback Andy Dalton should be a Heisman candidate. Of course in May, Pee Wee Herman is a Heisman candidate, but you get my drift. The next great TCU defensive end is Wayne Daniels, one of nine defensive starters back from the No. 5 scoring defense.
Next goal: A July deadline to raise $100 million for stadium renovations that will make TCU look more like a BCS program. If the Big 12 gets raided by the Big Ten, the program might be big time sooner than it thinks.
6. Oregon (7): Chip Kelly can coach quarterbacks. Unfortunately he can't keep them out of trouble or away from injuries. That's why the Ducks go into fall drills looking for a replacement for Jeremiah Masoli. That's also why Kelly will make a star out of that replacement, either Darron Thomas or Nate Costa.
Elsewhere in the backfield ...: When LaMichael James returns from a one-game suspension, Oregon will have arguably the deepest stable of running backs in the country. Kenjon Barner (six yards per carry) and veteran Remene Alston will try to make it hard for blue-chipper Lache Seastrunk to get playing time.
|Ten to watch
|Oregon State
7. Texas (11): The 'Horns will be tougher physically, if that's possible. No longer with Colt McCoy to lean on, Mack Brown is installing more of a pro set with a fullback. You'll see Texas line up and pound people for a change instead of passing on third-and-2. The 'Horns should win the Big 12. It's up to Garrett Gilbert, McCoy's successor, as to how far they rise nationally.
Ten again: Look for Texas to win at least 10 for the 10th consecutive year. Ten of the 12 games will be played in-state. The toughest stretch is UCLA, Oklahoma (followed by a bye week) and then at Nebraska.
8. Iowa (6): Quarterback Ricky Stanzi is healthy. If he stays that way for the entire season it's going to be interesting. Interesting in that Iowa won't stumble at the end. Interesting in that it won't be doing it with mirrors like last year's team did at times. The defense is a given with nine starters back. I might have been a bit too hasty picking Ohio State No. 3. The Hawkeyes get Penn State, Wisconsin and the Buckeyes at home.
The Hawkeyes are a dark-horse national champion contender if ...: The offensive line comes together and Stanzi stays healthy. Who knew Iowa is 15-2 since Nov. 1, 2008?
9. Nebraska (8): The difference between a Big 12 championship and the Holiday Bowl for the Huskers last season was having one more playmaker on offense. Quarterback is an issue but with Bo Pelini's defense alone, this team could win eight. The offense should contribute more and Nebraska will win nine or 10 because this team may be better overall than the Ndamukong Suh-led unit of last season. Watch for Jared Crick to become the next nuisance at defensive tackle.
Ruling the Big 12 North: The last time Nebraska won outright back-to-back division titles was 1997, Tom Osborne's last season. That also happens to be the Big Red's last national championship.
10. Wisconsin (9): Anybody doubt that the Big Ten is back? That makes three teams in the top 10. Look for a possible conference title run with the return of 17 starters including quarterback Scott Tolzien and tailback John Clay. This is Bret Bielema's best team
Barry Alvarez has it figured out: Big Ten expansion, not the Big Ten race. Wisconsin's AD and former coach has been the unofficial "spokesman" for expansion in the past few months. His football team hasn't been to the Rose Bowl since 1999.

11. Virginia Tech (14): Deep backfield, veteran quarterback, should be favored to win third ACC title in four years.
12. Oklahoma (19): Lose a Heisman winner in 2009 (Sam Bradford), get an experienced starter back in 2010 (Landry Jones).
13. Georgia Tech (10): Defensive coordinator Al Groh brings the 3-4 to compliment Paul Johnson's baffling offense. Welcome to ACC contention, Al.
14. Miami (12): Jacory Harris needs to get his injured thumb back in shape after missing the spring. Let's hope so. If not, it might not be all about the U in 2010.
15. USC (17): Pete Carroll couldn't win the little ones (Stanford, Oregon State, etc.) Lane Kiffin (seven career college wins) would like to win a big one.
16. Florida State (NR): Better than anyone thinks as Jimbo Fisher takes over. FSU is Alabama in miniature. 'Noles will win the ACC in 2011. The Lost Decade is over.
17. Arkansas (22): Bobby Petrino is selling his $2 million, 8,000-square-foot home in Fayetteville. He's either downsizing or ... no, he wouldn't, would he?
18. LSU (13): If Jordan Jefferson doesn't come through at quarterback there's always Josh Jasper. He kicked a 57-yard field goal in the spring game.
19. Penn State (16): Team Doughnut will be weak up the middle with quarterback questions looming.
20. Pittsburgh (24): Sophomore tailback Dion Lewis could win the Heisman if the Panthers win in 2010.
21. Auburn (NR): No surrender on The Plains, 'Bama. Former Gator Cam Newton takes over at quarterback.
22. Cincinnati (15): The Bearcats will not go from winning 12 to being irrelevant. Butch Jones is too good a coach.
23. West Virginia (18): Think Rich Rod could use Noel Devine at Michigan?
24. North Carolina (NR): Dichotomy U. The defense is scary. So is T.J. Yates at quarterback.
25. Stanford (NR): Another year of the quarterback in the Pac-10. Cardinal's Andrew Luck goes into the season battling Washington's Jake Locker as league's best.

Wow. I'm not sure there's another producer that toes the line between what we consider to be EDM and what used to be called electronica quite like Pierce Fulton does. While still able to crank out A+ club tracks at will, he is never afraid to take that tempo down and make something a la The Postal Service like his two tracks he released randomly back in May. This particular remix has me rather awe-struck or possibly just speechless…neither are a bad thing anyway.

Comments On Jan 22, 2014:These things are beasts. very rigid sidewall and aggressive treads. These do not measure out 27inches as claimed but only about 26.25inches. They are heavy at 36lbs per tire but they ride nice. Mine are balanced with dyna beads and have no issues up to 58mph. You will need to run them at 8 to 10lbs of pressure not the 22 that is listed on the sidewall. I don't think there is a stronger tire out there and for trail riding I would use no other. I would like to see a 27/9/14 or 27/8/14 version so that I could run them at all 4 corners

Comments On Nov 18, 2013:I ride in mud, snow and rock. These tires were tested and performed great. I was the only one not to get stuck. Highly recommend them!

DBA sets stage for series of holiday events
By Ashley Rader
Downtown Elizabethton will be a busy place in the coming months as holiday events are held in the historic shopping district.
The first event will be the Betsy Bash, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The festival will include a number of competitions for the public to enter.
Downtown Business Association President John Bunn has encouraged all businesses to stay open for customers during the festival.
The contests include Clara's apple pie contest, a scarecrow contest, Aunt B's homemade-pickle contest and a costume contest. They will be judged between 4-6 p.m. during the Betsy Bash.
The apple pie contest will be judged at 4 p.m.; the scarecrow contest will be judged at 4:30 p.m.; the pickle contest will be judged at 5 p.m.; and the costume contest will be judged at 5:30 p.m.
Contestants are asked to pre-register for the scarecrow contest at the Elizabethton/Carter County Chamber of Commerce. The other contests will have registration the day of the festival. The cost to enter the pie and pickle contests is $5.
For the apple pie and pickles contest, individuals are asked to make a pie or pickles to be taste-tested by the judges. For the scarecrow contest, individuals will decorate the scarecrow and for the costume contest, adults and children are asked to dress in their best 1950s-themed costume. The Elizabethton High School Class of 1957 will be judging these contests. A prize of $50 will be awarded to the winner of each contest.
The downtown merchants have been asked to decorate their storefronts with traditional fall-themed items, such as hay bales, fodder shocks and pumpkins. The scenes will be judged by members of the Carter County Car Club, and the winning business will receive $100.
The Car Club's Cruise In will have extended hours during the Betsy Bash. Instead of beginning as usual at 5 p.m., the car show will start at 3 p.m. on Oct. 27.
The downtown trick-or-treat will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 3-5 p.m. Bunn again encouraged all the merchants to stay open during the trick-or-treating and to dress in costume.
The Christmas Open House will be held Saturday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. The Chamber of Commerce's Christmas Parade will also be held Dec. 1 at 6 p.m.
Bunn also noted the Chamber's Fraser Fir lighting ceremony will be held on Nov. 13. Festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the tree will be lit shortly after 6 p.m.
The DBA had polled the retail members of the group to determine the most popular date for the open house. Sunday, Nov. 18, received four votes; Sunday, Dec. 2, received three; and three votes indicated no preference as long as the open house was held on a Saturday.
John Huber commented that for the members in attendance at the meeting the consensus was to host the open house on a Saturday. He said this left the date for the open house to be Nov. 18 or Dec. 1.
Bunn suggested an all-day event on parade day with the open house in the morning and afternoon with the Christmas parade that evening. Huber made a motion to host the open house on Dec. 1, which was unanimously approved by the five retail businesses in attendance at the meeting.

Toronto, ON – The Abbotsford Heat earned one point in a 4-3 overtime loss against the Toronto Marlies (AHL affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs) on Saturday afternoon.
Trailing 3-1 with a period to play, the Heat got goals from Sven Baertschi and Ben Street to tie the game and force overtime at Ricoh Coliseum. The Heat now hold a record of 4-1-1-0 through six games with the Marlies, with two contests remaining in Abbotsford.
Akim Aliu opened the scoring at 10:42 of the first period with his fourth goal of the season. Aliu, raised in Toronto, has scored in each of his last two games at Ricoh Coliseum. Defenceman James Martin earned his first point of the season with an assist in his fifth AHL game.
The Marlies struck twice in the final five minutes of the first period to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. Brad Ross redirected a point shot on the power play to make it 1-1, and Jaime Devane scored at even strength to put the Marlies ahead.
Toronto scored the lone goal in the second period and led 3-1 after 40 minutes of play, but the Heat struck twice early in the third period to tie the game at 3-3. Just 72 seconds into the third period Sven Baertschi netted his tenth goal of the season assisted by Roman Horak and Ben Walter. The goal came just four seconds into the Heat's second power play of the night.
At 3:53 of the third period Ben Street tied the game with his 15th goal of the season, batted in on a goalmouth scramble. Street's goal extends his goal-scoring streak to three games. Greg Nemisz and Brett Olson assisted on the play. The game was tied 3-3 after 60 minutes of play.
The Marlies broke the tie just 52 seconds into overtime, ending the Heat's three-game divisional road trip with one point in the overtime loss. Abbotsford finished their three-game road trip having accumulated three points.
Danny Taylor started for the Heat and made 8 saves on 11 shots before Barry Brust replaced him at 6:52 of the second period. Brust finished with seven saves on eight shots. The Heat outshot the Marlies 22-19.
The Heat power play scored once on two opportunities, while the penalty kill surrendered one goal against, on two Marlies man advantages.
Abbotsford will now travel home for their final four home games of the season. The Heat will host the Grand Rapids Griffins on April 5th and 6th and the Toronto Marlies on April 10th and 12th. For tickets and more information call 1-877-452-HEAT(4328) or visit www.AbbotsfordHeat.com.

New Ridgway Shop Also Does Regular Repairs
RIDGWAY – The gravel lot outside God's Rods in Ridgway is littered with cars in various stages of rust from the 1950s, 40s, 30s, and even 20s. Some sit on rims with wooden spokes. Others have what look like original white-wall tires. At least two sport current Colorado license plates, a shapely, black 1935 Oldsmobile sedan and a 39 Chevy Coupe painted a coppery orange with delicate pinstripes on its long hood.
"Mirek can find cars anywhere," said Jen Saez of her 41-year-old husband and business partner. "They're hiding in people's back yards, in barns, up at mines. Most people consider them junk. But then Mirek turns them into something special."
Mirek and Jen Saez opened their hot rod shop in July 2011, shortly after moving to Ridgway from Newcastle, Colo.
"We worked in the oil field for a while," Mirek said. "I just bought cars. That's what I did with my money. When the snow melted, I had about 50."
They knew at first sight that Ridgway was where they wanted to be. "A little piece of paradise," according to Jen. "We're staying here," Mirek added, with the certainty of someone who has moved around a lot. They found a house on craigslist and rented the shop space once occupied by Sunset Automotive off Hwy 62. Then they trucked all those car bodies and frames and motors over the hill.
"All the stuff in the yard," Jen said, glancing out the office window, "they have life waiting for them." Mirek put the 39 Chevy body on top of a 79 El Camino frame. "I loved the way an El Camino handled, the way it felt on the road," he said. He's working now on a 1936 Auburn Speedster whose white-painted cab is hanging by straps from a frame in the yard. "It'll have a Camaro rear end, a Corvette motor and a Jaguar front end. I do a lot of fabrication, a lot of trial and error. I enjoy taking multiple cars and morphing them together."
And business is good. Thanks to the Internet, and the ability to find parts wherever they are in the world, God's Rods' business is global.
"What do you want to drive today?" Jen asked, describing their marketing approach. "We build cars for people who don't like to look like everybody else on the road. Call them 'collectibles,' 'classics,' 'hot rods' – to each his own."
Both the orange Chevy and 35 Olds are drive-around-town cars. "They're not really show cars," Jen said. "We have taken the Chevy to shows, but we drive it everywhere. It's fun."
It's not as if Mirek just started on this path last year. "I've always had a hot rod shop," he said. "Just not my own garage business." (The name, God's Rods, "came to me while I was sitting in church. I was going to name it Amazing, same name as my previous 14 businesses. But, I thought, I need to give God some thanks. Thanks is due to who made all this possible.")
He started restoring cars as a teenager, in Idaho. "I grew up in Denver. But I was a 'problem child' and was sent to live with my father. My first one was a 60 Chevy truck, when I was 18 or 19. We didn't have the Internet then, so I made everything. You know the little fuzzies that go around the window? I went to the fabric store, bought some felt – I even made those. That was a great truck."
Not all work at God's Rods is on what might be called a hot rod. In the middle bay of the garage, employee Ray Booker was leaning over the grille installing a new radiator on a customer's late-model pickup. "We're a full-blown mechanic shop," Mirek said.
"He works on anything that pulls up," Jen added, noting the more pedestrian work is part of their desire to "contribute to the community."
But off in the paint room in back sits another rounded-steel beauty, this one a cream-colored 1964 Volvo 544 owned by Pam Larson of Ouray. "I could make it go fast," Mirek said with a grin. "It has two carburetors. They made them to go. The Larsons just want it running and looking good."
"Living in a little town doesn't limit us," Jen said. "We shipped a car to Australia a while ago."
Even so, the restoring of old cars – "recycling" Mirek sometimes called it – has taken a hit. "Obama's 'Cash for Clunkers' kind of ruined a lot of this business," Mirek said of the 2009 stimulus program designed to get inefficient older cars off the road and encourage people to buy new ones, preferably from a struggling Detroit automaker.
"This is a dying art," Mirek reflected, without bitterness. He talked about a graduate from a local high school who went to college hoping to learn Mirek's kind of auto craft. "His teacher told him, 'You can't learn that stuff anywhere but on the job.'"
To that end, Jen said, they'd like in the future to bring high school kids from Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray, or Montrose (where they do still have auto shop), into the garage for internships in non-traditional auto mechanics and entrepreneurship.
"These days in mechanics' school they teach you how to unbolt a fender and put a new one on, when I could bang out the dent for $50.
"We started with no money," Mirek said, thick fingers twisting the wedding band on his tattooed ring finger. "A thousand bucks from my dad for the business license."

Line Space Line Festival of Improvised Music 2004: Making It Up As They Go Along
Eubanks cued an electronic device, and West tapped the Glockenspiel. Crackles from Forsyth collided with Hammer's offspeed loops. West contributed uncannily perfect support from his prepared drum set. Pedal altered guitar faded in and out, Forsyth rocking on a pedal. Eubanks focused on high keening shrieks on soprano, penetrating the thick sounding loops. West flashed lightning all over his drum set, while Eubanks absorbs the guitar and tape overload noise and reinterprets it. It ended with Eubanks blowing air at Hammer's hum and hiss.
Pt 2 opens with West smacking a drum burst, and smearing wrong speed loops. Forsyth let his fingers do the flying over distorted voices talking and singing like wind dreams. Eubanks played small beautiful parts with tape noise and guitar parts.
Karen Elaine Bakunin, viola; Harris Eisenstadt, drum set, percussion; Sara Schoenbeck, bassoon, Kevin Uehlinger, piano.
The final set of the Festival had all the earmarks of an event. Originally slated Eric Sbar called off, replace by Sara Schoenbeck. Schoenbeck missed an earlier scheduled performance when the Santa Barbara Symphony called over the weekend, and without being introduced, she received a warm welcome from the crowd. Bakunin returned, and making his Festival 2004 debut, Harris Eisenstadt handled percussion. From their simultaneous launch to the finish, they argued the need for seat belts at improvised concerts. Schoenbeck, Bakunin, and Uehlinger spontaneously created musical statements, and echoed, answered, finished each other's thoughts. Eisenstadt's mobile percussion approach kept him in the conversation. Schoenbeck briefly soloed before Eisenstadt joined on sticks and hands. Eisenstadt's duet with Bakunin saw him flying at the speed of her imaginings. An electrifying exchange between Schoenbeck and Bakunin had the virtuosos taking turns leading. Uehlinger provided driving dramatic low work, and Eisenstadt's drum work brought Schoenbeck and Bakunin into the heat of it with sweeps and precision.
For their final excursion, Eisenstadt supported the sketches Uehlinger created. As Eisenstadt gets down with hand and stick, Bakunin released another shower of music ending in long tones. Uehlinger's abrupt strikes elicit abrupt strikes from Bakunin. As the piece softened into silence, Sara faded in long tones, answered by Bakunin. The ensemble hit a comfortable fluency and faded.
Once again, the Festival existed through generosity, cooperation, and dedicated hard work. If the program left an unanswered question, it was why no Bakunin/Schoenbeck/Stackpole trio performance? But that small quibble aside, having logged two good years, the Line Space Line Festival of Improvised Music threatens to become a sorely needed free music cultural institution.
