OLYMPIA, Wash. — Many agricultural employers in Washington may unwittingly be unlicensed farm labor contractors, increasing their potential legal liabilities, because of a court decision last April, the head of the Washington Farm Labor Association says.
A federal court in Eastern Washington ruled that Northwest Management, an orchard management company, is a farm labor contractor because it received fees from John Hancock Insurance Co. for managing orchards, said Dan Fazio, director of the Farm Labor Association in Olympia.
The ruling was a side issue in a wage and hour dispute but caught the attention of attorneys for large tree fruit companies, Fazio said. There are hundreds of agricultural employers in the state, large and small, that could be implicated, he said.
"These are not farm labor contractors, but they risk being caught up in a poorly written law," Fazio said. "In some cases they are vertically integrated companies with a common payroll department. In others, it is just the way an orchard or vineyard is organized for tax purposes, but it looks like they many need to become registered farm labor contractors to comply with Washington law."
That opens a whole new level of regulation including posting farm labor contractor bonds with the state Department of Labor and Industries and getting workers to sign forms recognizing they are working for a farm labor contractor, Fazio said.
The Farm Labor Association is seeking an opinion from L&I that the true definition of a farm labor contractor is narrower than the court ruling, Fazio said. That may or may not help in court and so the Farm Labor Association has asked the Washington Farm Bureau to pursue a legislative fix, he said.
The Washington Farm Labor Contractor Act has a private right of action provision, meaning a worker or someone on his behalf can file suit if an employer is not registered. If the plaintiff is successful, the farmer would owe a minimum of $500 per violation per worker, plus attorney fees. The minimum fine for an employer with 100 seasonal workers would be $50,000, but Fazio said that the cost would likely be five times that amount or more.
The association has posted a management briefing on its website explaining the situation and is urging its members to send them potential scenarios to share with L&I.

Luanne Buckenmeyer, age 64, of Swanton, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack, Thursday morning, Nov. 15, 2012, at St. Luke's Hospital in Maumee.
She was born June 11, 1948, in Toledo, Ohio, to Albert and Katherine (Cowell) VanCoppenolle. She was a graduate of Blissfield High School, Class of '66. She married William Buckenmeyer on Feb. 5, 1983. Luanne was a homemaker and helped Bill operate the family farm.
She was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in Assumption. If she could, Luanne would have played cards 24/7. She enjoyed trying her luck gambling and loved shopping. Rarely did she stay still in one place; she put many miles on her car driving from one end of the county to the other. At any day, you could find her enjoying good food with friends at the Country Charm Cafe in Metamora or Bob Evans in Toledo, where the staff knew her by name.
Luanne will be remembered for her outgoing personality and was a joy to be around. She loved her family and will be greatly missed by her loving husband, Bill; son, Richard Albert (Susan) Bearer; stepchildren, Brenda Buckenmeyer, Donald (Kelli) Buckenmeyer, Laura VandeSande and Bill (Karen) Buckenmeyer; grandsons, Christopher Bearer and Richard Albert Bearer Jr.; nine stepgrandchildren; siblings, Albert (Gloria) VanCoppenolle, Rosalind (Louis) Marlatt, Mike (Jeanie) VanCoppenolle and Dave (Sandy) VanCoppenolle; sister-in-law, Virginia Jones; special friend, Joan Mitchell; and several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and -nephews.
Luanne was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Katherine, and daughter, Christine Lynn Bearer.
Family and friends may visit from 2 until 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, at the Weigel Funeral Home in Metamora, where a Scripture service will be held at 7 p.m. Prayers will begin in the funeral home at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19, followed by a Mass of Resurrection at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Assumption, with Fr. Ron Schock officiating. Interment will follow at St. Mary's Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Holy Trinity Church or given for Masses. Online expressions of sympathy may be made at weigelfuneralhomes.com.

Spring seems to have finally arrived in Western North Carolina and that always spurs excitement about gardening projects. So here are some spring events coming up at Bullington to feed the gardening passion.
Dahlias are spectacular flowers of the summer garden and can be rewarding for many years if one knows how to properly care for them. On April 16 from 3-4:30 p.m., dahlia expert Brian Killingsworth will offer a free program on propagating and growing these showy plants.
Brian has spent many years growing and breeding dahlias and has taken over the newly expanded dahlia garden at Bullington. He has also propagated a selection of plants that will be included in our plant sale.
The annual spring plant sale at Bullington Gardens will take place on April 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some exciting plants will be available — some are new introductions and others are tried and true natives.
Included in our offerings are many perennials — some that are fairly unusual, also heirloom and hybrid tomatoes, peppers and other vegetable starts, herbs including several types of basils, small trees and shrubs and select annuals.
The plant sale is the biggest fundraiser supporting the educational programs and general mission of Bullington Gardens. There will be an additional one day sale on May 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Container gardening has certainly become a popular way to beautify home entry ways and decks and has been a way for those with small yards to increase their gardening space. Nancy Duffy of Muddy Boots Garden Design will demonstrate effective plant selection and combinations as she plants the Bullington containers during a Container Gardening workshop on May 15 from 3-4:30 p.m. There is a $12 fee.
A similar class, the Mini Gardening Workshop on May 10 from 1-2:30 p.m. led by Mary Martin, will guide participants in the artful creation of their own mini landscape in a dish with groundcovers, trees and shrubs. All the materials will be provided. Cost of the workshop depends on plants selected.
On June 1, Bullington Gardens will have its first Spring Gala, an event that will feature beautiful gardens and fine food at two locations.
The event will begin at Bullington around 10 a.m., where guests can tour the gardens and enjoy homemade pastries and coffee/ tea.
Buses will transport guests to the Cabin Ridge, a beautiful longtime family homestead with beautiful mountains views. Here silent auction bids can be made while enjoying the gardens.
Medina's Village Bistro will serve a catered brunch under a tent canopy with Dan Keller's jazz trio entertaining. Busses will then return to Bullington and winners can claim their silent auction items.
Tickets are $50. We hope for this to be a wonderful way to celebrate spring while supporting the work of Bullington Gardens. More information about all these events as well as registration can be done by calling Bullington Gardens at 828-698-6104.
Also, Bullington Gardens is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Spring is always an exciting time to visit the various gardens.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight were taken off a plane in Milwaukee and rescreened after a man found a live shotgun shell at his seat.
Milwaukee County sheriff's spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin says the passenger notified flight crew at about 6:45 a.m. Wednesday of the shell while the Detroit-bound plane was still at General Mitchell International Airport.
Sheriff's deputies, along with Transportation Security Administration officials, removed 120 passengers from the plane and screened them again but found nothing. McLaughlin says a canine unit also swept the plane and didn't find anything.
The passengers again boarded the plane. Delta spokesman Michael Thomas says the flight was delayed about an hour and landed safely in Detroit at 9:55 a.m.
TSA spokesman Dave Castelveter says no further investigation was necessary.

Blissfield education board recognition… Thanks to Hibernians for $2,000 donation
Blissfield education board recognition
To the editor,
The month of January marks the annual observance of School Board Recognition Month. It is designated as a time to salute the work of our school board members and celebrate public education. The theme, "School Boards LeadStrong," reflects our combined commitment to leadership and accountability assuring that ALL children succeed.
It's an exciting and challenging time in public education. School board members in Blissfield develop policies and make tough decisions that help shape the future of our education system. They bear responsibility for an annual budget in excess of $10 million, 1,240 students, nearly 200 employees and three school buildings. They are citizens whose decisions affect our children and build our communities.
Our board of education, like hundreds across the state, preserves the core of our democracy-public education. They ensure that decisions on school programming are made by people elected to represent our community's values, culture and circumstances.
Showing appreciation for the important work of school boards should be a year-round process, but too often we neglect to recognize the dedication and hard work of the individuals who represent us. This January, the staff and students of Blissfield Schools ask our community members to take a moment and thank a school board member for their vision and voice in preparing today's students to become tomorrow's leaders.
I invite you to join us in celebrating the work of your school trustees by attending our board of education meeting on Jan. 21 to express your appreciation for their years of dedicated service to the students of Blissfield Community Schools: Scott Abbott, third year; Bob Beckey, second year; David Brewer, second year; Bruce Carter, first year; Noel Eisenmann, seventh year; Vicky Lombard, fourth year; Brian McEwan, fifth year.

Now that Ocasio-Cortez won, attention also turned to the reasons why. One most obvious explanation - there are many people much more to the left of the Democratic party leadership. In fact, that gulf was made ever more clear by Nancy Pelosi's dismissive response to Ocasio-Cortez's victory - describing it as localized to a district and not representative of any larger trend.
Another Democratic operative, speaking to Yahoo, characterized the divide between the party bosses and new progressive stars -
"I feel like we're watching Napster all over again, and Dem leadership is like the record industry, refusing to acknowledge what is clearly happening," the operative said.
The fact is, there well could be a stronger trend at play. The DSA has had its daily membership skyrocket
more than on average - the day after Ocasio-Cortez's win they got
new signups,
according to
the Daily Beast. In the Trump era overall, the organization grew from about
5,000 members in November 2016 to

in 2018.

The Democratic Socialists of America has been making inroads even prior to Ocasio-Cortez's success. In 2017, the group helped elect Lee Carter to the Virginia House of Delegates, and Summer Lee and Sara Innamorato in Pennsylvania, where they both defeated entrenched long-term Democrats.Lee Carter
DSA has also developed the political ground game to help their candidates. Over a hundred of the organization's volunteers have been canvasing Ocasio-Cortez's district for months to bring out the votes, knocking on over 13,000 doors.
Bernie Sanders, the most famous recent democratic socialist, has never been a member of the DSA. He was still enthusiastically endorsed by the DSA during his run. Perhaps, by 2020, the DSA can leverage its growth and the enthusiasm of its members (lacking among the Democrats) into supporting a candidate from its own ranks.The group has the potential to become a serious political player.Bernie Sanders,

Cigarette smoking and the use of smokeless chewing tobacco have been closely tied to the development of several human cancers, including lung, oral, esophageal, and bladder. Additionally, individuals exposed to tobacco or tobacco smoke have a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, destructive periodontitis, and pulmonary, immunological, and gastric dysfunction. Although smoking has been a major public health issue for many decades, a fairly new concern is the use of smokeless chewing tobacco, which is becoming increasingly prevalent among U.S. teenagers and young adult males. Among the most well-characterized chemicals found in tobacco and tobacco smoke are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as benzo[a]pyrene, and the highly addictive alkaloid, nicotine and its metabolites. Traditionally, views of tobacco-related carcinogenesis have been centered on genotoxic mechanisms, i.e., DNA damage/mutation inflicted by the binding of bioactivated and nucleophilic components such as the PAHs. However, with the realization that cancer is a multistep process, requiring many types of chemically mediated insults, came closer scrutiny of the additional, less obviously genotoxic, chemicals present in tobacco.

attribute specifies that a declaration originates from an external source and describes the nature of that source.
The fact that Clang is capable of recognizing declarations that were defined externally can be used to provide better tooling support for mixed-language projects or projects that rely on auto-generated code. For instance, an IDE that uses Clang and that supports mixed-language projects can use this attribute to provide a correct 'jump-to-definition' feature. For a concrete example, consider a protocol that's defined in a Swift file:
This protocol can be used from Objective-C code by including a header file that was generated by the Swift compiler. The declarations in that header can use the
attribute to make Clang aware of the fact that
actually originates from a Swift module:
Consequently, when 'jump-to-definition' is performed at a location that references
, the IDE can jump to the original definition in the Swift source file rather than jumping to the Objective-C declaration in the auto-generated header file.
attribute is a comma-separated list that includes clauses that describe the origin and the nature of the particular declaration. Those clauses can be:
The clauses can be specified in any order. The clauses that are listed above are all optional, but the attribute has to have at least one clause.
The attribute causes calls within the attributed function to be inlined unless it is impossible to do so, for example if the body of the callee is unavailable or if the callee has the attribute.
Use this attribute to force stack alignment.
Legacy x86 code uses 4-byte stack alignment. Newer aligned SSE instructions (like 'movaps') that work with the stack require operands to be 16-byte aligned. This attribute realigns the stack in the function prologue to make sure the stack can be used with SSE instructions.
Note that the x86_64 ABI forces 16-byte stack alignment at the call site. Because of this, 'force_align_arg_pointer' is not needed on x86_64, except in rare cases where the caller does not align the stack properly (e.g. flow jumps from i386 arch code).
For many modern brands, blogging remains the keystone of their content marketing strategy:
80 percent
of B2B marketers still invest in blogs. Apart from demonstrating thought leadership and industry expertise, blog posts can go
New For Sale Excellent Online logo velvet track pants Black Plein Sport 456OUBT
towards humanizing brands.
The question remains, however, on whether brands have any business commenting on the blogs of others. Anti-spam service Akismet, which helps brands filter comment spam from their blogs, reportedly tackles 7.5 million incidents of spam per hour. Patel says that because comments like his were "good comments on relevant sites" that included nofollow links , he wasn't at risk of being penalized for spamming by search engines like Google. But could comments made by marketers read as spam to the customers brands are hoping to engross?
"It depends on what they're commenting on," says Maria Lopez-Knowles, chief marketing officer with California-based Pulpo Media, a digital marketing agency specializing in the Hispanic market. Lopez-Knowles believes that the quality of the comments is paramount to success. "If [the subject] is something a brand is considered an expert in, such as food, and they're commenting on improving a recipe … it might not be too intrusive. But I think a fine line needs to be walked." She adds that the comments need to feel organic. Sticking to topics about which a brand is a known authority can help them evade a backlash.
Sean O'Neal, president of social media buying agency Adaptly, warns of the dangers associated with throwaway comments. "If the marketing has no connection to the underlying content, contributes nothing to the conversation that is taking place, and disrupts the natural flow of an authentic discussion, then it's not likely to reflect well on the brand."
When a marketer comments on another's blog as a way to promote their own products, the stakes are even higher. "Great marketing is relevant. It's contextual. It adds value," O'Neal says. "And while 'blog marketing' might be an easy way to get some free media, reputable marketers will be weary of the risks around negative reader response."
The takeaway from Patel's blog traffic game plan is that blogging alone isn't enough. If a brand hopes to woo audiences and ingratiate itself with potential customers, it must go a step beyond posting to show audiences it's ready and willing to engage. Brands, after all, employ interesting people who are experts in their field.
They might as well show it.

More Americans this month said the world's largest economy will improve than at any time in the past decade, led by a surge among Democrats following the re-election of President Barack Obama.
The share of households projecting the economy will get better rose to 37 percent in November, the highest since March 2002. That propelled the Bloomberg monthly consumer expectations gauge to 4 from minus 7 in October. The weekly Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index was at minus 33.9 in the period ended Nov. 18, hovering near a seven-month high of minus 33.1 the prior week.
"While the improvement in expectations is largely a function of the election, rising equity prices, an improving labor market and a growing sense the tide has finally turned in the housing market are contributing to the turn in overall sentiment," said Joseph Brusuelas, a senior economist at Bloomberg LP in New York.
Growing confidence may lead to a pickup in spending, which makes up about 70 percent of the economy, boosting sales at department stores such as Kohl's Corp. at the start of the year- end holiday shopping season.
In a separate report today, fewer Americans filed applications last week as damage to the labor market caused by superstorm Sandy began to subside. Jobless claims decreased by 41,000 to 410,000 in the week ended Nov. 17, the Labor Department reported today in Washington.
Stocks were little changed, following a three-day advance in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, after the figures and as European finance ministers failed to agree on a debt-reduction package for Greece. The S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent to 1,389.32 at 9:35 a.m. in New York.
Consumer Expectations
The Bloomberg consumer expectations gauge in November showed the first positive reading since March and the highest since February 2011.
Two of the three components of the weekly comfort index fell. The measure on perceptions of the current state of the economy declined to minus 58.9 from a four-year high of minus 56.6 the prior week. The buying climate index fell to minus 38.6 from minus 37.6.
The barometer measuring Americans' views of their personal finances rose to minus 4.2 from minus 5.1 the previous week.
"Here in the U.S., I have seen some signs of modest economic recovery and improving consumer confidence," William Johnson, chief executive officer of Pittsburgh-based H.J. Heinz Co., the world's biggest ketchup maker, said on a Nov. 20 earnings conference call. "I don't expect robust economic growth in the U.S. in 2013, but I am encouraged by the progress in our U.S. business."

Drivers warned about Epping vehicle shootingsBY JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
July 23. 2013 10:48PM
EPPING — Police are warning motorists to be on the lookout after someone fired on five vehicles at random, shattering windows of four vehicles while drivers were on the road and a fifth while the vehicle was parked.
Police Capt. Jason Newman said the incidents all occurred between July 13 and July 17 on the western side of town in the area of Beede Road near the Fremont town line and Depot Road at the Route 27 intersection.
Police believe a high-powered airsoft pellet gun, which can fire pellets at speeds of up to 700 feet a second, is being used to target vehicles.
"It's certainly a dangerous situation. It's much more than somebody causing damage. They could hit somebody. People could be seriously hurt or have an accident from this," Newman said.
In most of the incidents, Newman said the motorists were driving down the road when their rear windshields were hit. One of the shootings involved a front windshield shattered while a vehicle parked on Beede Road.
All of the shootings have occurred in the early evening hours and are believed to be connected, Newman said.
Police recovered airsoft pellets from the scene where the vehicle was hit while parked.
The motorists whose vehicles were hit pulled over to the side of the road after the shootings or stopped farther down the road. One driver went directly to an automotive shop to get the window fixed, Newman said.
No one has been injured in the shootings.
Anyone with information on the incidents is urged to call the Epping Police Department at 679-5122.

'Young and Restless' star Jeanne Cooper dies at 84
'Young and Restless' star Jeanne Cooper dies at 84
CBS says soap opera star Jeanne Cooper has died. She was 84.
A network spokeswoman said Cooper's family told the network of her death. Her son Corbin Bernsen's Facebook and Twitter accounts also said Cooper had died.
Cooper played grande dame Katherine Chancellor on CBS' "The Young and the Restless" for nearly four decades.
Bernsen tweeted in April that his mother faced an "uphill battle" for an undisclosed illness. In subsequent days he wrote of her gradual improvement and said that she'd been taken off breathing equipment.
Cooper's role on "The Young and the Restless" earned her repeated Daytime Emmy Award nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008.

A restaurant in Thibodaux, which was set on fire by two young men last year, is not paying its rent and will likely not reopen, the company that owns the land and its attorney said.
A restaurant in Thibodaux, which was set on fire by two young men last year, is not paying its rent and will likely not reopen, the company that owns the land and its attorney said.
The landowner alleges that Western Sizzlin, 411 N. Canal Blvd., has ignored its lease since October, less than five months after two former employees committed the arson that shut down the restaurant and caused 60 people to lose their jobs.
In January, when attorneys filed the petition, the restaurant allegedly owed about $24,000 in rent to J.B. Levert Land Co. Though Troy Bellanger, assistant vice president of the company's Thibodaux office, declined to give an updated number, the current figure is "quite a bit more substantial than that," he said.
The company petitioned for a Lafourche Parish court to rescind Western Sizzlin's lease.
The court has not resolved the matter, but J.B. Levert Land's attorney Rick Bouterie Jr. said he doubts the restaurant will reopen.
"There's been no progress made to do anything with it. ... (J.B. Levert Land) plans to lease it to someone else who will construct something else on the property," Bouterie said.
Metairie-based J.B. Levert Land would like to do something with the land, "rather than just have it be an eyesore," Bouterie said.
There's still a slight chance Western Sizzlin could reopen, Bellanger said. However, the restaurant's owner, Jim Keller, no longer returns his office's calls, so things don't look good.
"The possibility's still out there. We just need to get in touch with (Keller). It could happen. The ball is in his court. ... If he decides he wants to pick up the phone and pay the check, we may have to discuss it again. But he would probably make more of an attempt to reach us if that was his intention."
Keller could not be reached for comment.
Bouterie said his firm, Thibodaux-based Block and Bouterie, has had trouble serving the petition to Keller. The firm hopes to make some progress this week. But if Keller doesn't respond, the firm will request a default judgment from the court.
More than likely, the building will be demolished, Bellanger said.
"We haven't been able to inspect it. But from what we've heard the building is in disrepair beyond being restored," he said.
Eventually, something new will appear — maybe a restaurant, maybe a store, Bellanger said. J.B. Levert Land can't advertise the property yet. But when it can, it will look for "something that would benefit the city and be an attraction and something that the local citizens would benefit from."
Western Sizzlin signed a lease with J.B. Levert Land in 1998 and constructed its building on the lot, court documents show.
It was set on fire and closed May 21. Derek Hebert, 23, and Donavan Hoffpauir, 18, both of Thibodaux, admitted to the arson last year and were each sentenced to five years in prison, though they may have been recommended for boot camp.
Investigators believe the pair discussed burning down the building, then walked over to the back of the building and started the fire with a lighter, Thibodaux Police said at the time.
Although the fire only damaged the outside of the building, near the back it set off the sprinklers, firefighters said. Water flooded the building and caused part of the ceiling to cave in.
Hoffpauir quit his job there about four months before the fire, and the restaurant fired Hebert about two years prior after he allegedly punched and broke a glass cooler, managers said.

Friend says killing 'makes no sense'By PAT GROSSMITH and TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 02. 2013 8:58PM
MANCHESTER - An automobile mechanic described by neighbors as a devoted father to his 6-year-old son is being held without bail in the stabbing death of his wife, who in a post three years ago on Facebook described him as a "wonderful husband."
John Hogarty, 53, of 316 Mammoth Road, said only two words - both "yes" to Judge Gregory Michael's questions regarding his request for a court-appointed attorney - at his arraignment on first-degree murder Thursday morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division. He is being held without bail.
He is accused of stabbing his wife, Michelle, 46, to death in the couple's duplex at 316 Mammoth Road. Police said they went to the home after receiving a 911 "call for service" at 4:54 a.m. Wednesday and discovered Mrs. Hogarty's body. Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan G. Morrell would not say who called 911.
Michelle was a fun woman who loved the beaches and mountains of New Hampshire and rocked out to Stevie Nicks, said Jean Beauchesne, who said she'd been friends with Michelle for 14 years.
"I don't understand this," Beauchesne said. "This just makes no sense to me."
Beauchesne said she last spoke to Michelle the day before the murder. It was Beauchesne's birthday, and she called Michelle to thank her for a birthday card she'd received.
"We talked about going out to dinner," she said.
Beauchesne, trying to hold back tears, said Thursday evening that her "best friend" liked watching funny movies and "a good tear-jerker" and would frequently show up at Beauchesne's office.
"I'd look up and there she'd be with this big smile," she said. "I loved her dearly. I just hope I'm finding the right words to describe how wonderful she was."
Beauchesne said Michelle had struggled recently with battles against throat cancer and fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic body-wide pain.
"She didn't really talk about it much," Beauchesne said.
Nina Cullen, owner of Nini Bambini, a business that provides support groups, play groups and classes for new families, said Michelle and her son, Ryan, visited for about two years after he was born. But her husband was extremely controlling and wouldn't let her do much, Cullen said in a telephone interview.
"She was an incredibly sweet woman and a loving, caring mother. She just lived for that kid," she said.
Morrell said the 6-year-old is being cared for by relatives. She would not say if the child witnessed his mother's murder.
Mrs. Hogarty was not working at the time of her death, but about three years ago had worked as a part-time cashier at Hannaford Supermarket on Hanover Street, not far from where she lived. John Hogarty worked as a mechanic for Subaru of Milford, according to Morrell.
Hogarty, on her Facebook page, said she was from Salem and a graduate of Salem High School, Class of 1985.
"I'm a sports loving girl with a son, whose name is Ryan. He is a handful, but I couldn't imagine life without him in it. Unfortunately, a lot has gone on in my life lately and I'm just trying to soak it up and take it all in. I myself, feel like a handful at times. Anything else, just ask!!" was an undated post seen in the "about" section on her Facebook page Thursday morning.
By the afternoon, however, the post was replaced with one from three years ago which said: "I am a 43 year old mother of one. He is 3 and giving me a run for my money. I am a stay at home Mom, not to exciting life. My days are spent running after my little man and watching Nickelodeon, gotta love it. I have a wonderful husband and two cats."
Search and arrest warrants were sealed in the case, although public defender John Newman requested the court unseal them, saying the defense needed the information to prepare for a probable cause hearing set for May 14. Judge Michael took the matter under advisement.

The La Plata County Sheriffs Office is advising the public that a man convicted of attempting to sexually assault a child has been released from prison to live in Durango.
William Vollert, 22, was convicted of the charge in December 2008 in La Plata County, according to the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
A psychological evaluation determined him to be a sexually violent predator, which means authorities must notify residents of his whereabouts upon release.
Vollert was released Jan. 17, said Patrick Beyer, with the Sheriffs Office.
According to an online database, Vollert is living at 10 Rio Vista Circle, near East Fourth Avenue and 29th Street.
If he ever moves, he must inform authorities of his new address. He must register as a sex offender every three months.
He last registered on March 11, 2011. He violated his parole and was arrested June 11, 2011, and sent back to prison to finish the remainder of his sentence.
La Plata County has three registered sexually violent predators and 146 registered sex offenders. There are 15,702 registered sex offenders in Colorado.
Retaliation against sexual-assault offenders is illegal, Beyer said in the release. Harassing a sexual-assault offender can force the offender underground, make him stop registering as a sex offender and make it harder for authorities to track the persons progress, he said.
It is better if authorities can monitor the offenders and help ensure they comply with the registration laws and/or treatment, Beyer wrote in the release.
Anyone seeking additional information can call Beyer at 382-7069.
An earlier version of this story gave incorrect information for the number of registered sex offenders living in La Plata County. Incorrect information was given to the Herald.

Anecdotal evidence indicates Oregon hazelnut growers are adding about 3,000 acres a year.
Hazelnut trees take three to four years to begin producing nuts in earnest, but Polly Owen, executive director of the Oregon Hazelnut Commission, said a ready market will be waiting.
"Keep in mind that we are 3 percent of the world (production)," Owen said. "I think we're fine."
The amount of land available for expansion might be more of a limiting factor, she said.
Oregon produces 99 percent of the U.S. hazelnut crop, with about 650 growers operating on roughly 30,000 acres. Half the crop is exported, with China the biggest buyer. Once threatened by eastern filbert blight that arrived in the 1970s, the industry's been on the rise since Oregon State University's breeding program began producing a series of varieties that resist the deadly fungus.
Statistics from the harvest this past fall aren't yet available, but 2012 saw growers pull in 34,700 tons of nuts. The crop was valued at $63.4 million, ranking 16th among Oregon's commodities.
Oregon and the U.S. are small players in the world's hazelnut industry, however. Turkey produces 70 percent of the world supply, and Italy is second with 18 percent. Owen and others believe those statistics demonstrate there is much room for expansion by Oregon growers. Shawn Mehlenbacher, the OSU professor and plant breeder credited by many with saving the industry, said in a 2012 interview that Oregon could double production just to replace imports.
With young hazelnut trees a common sight in the Willamette Valley, it appears Oregon growers also believe an opportunity exists. But is there a market saturation point on the horizon? No one, after all, wants to be the last one to hop on the bandwagon.
"What is the top? Boy, this is the $6 million question – we don't know," said Jim Cramer, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture's commodity inspection program. The program helps Oregon farmers market their products around the world.
Cramer said he wonders the same thing about blueberries, another state crop that has grown rapidly in acreage. Continued growth requires displacing other producers, he said.
"Like most crops Oregon produces, we are not the biggest player," he said. "Where we find success is in the quality of the products we produce, and they garner a premium (price)."
Quality, not crop size, has always been the hallmark of Oregon products such as wine, fruit and nuts, Cramer said.
"Our growers figure out how to do it better than anyone else," he said.

STOCKTON - Witnesses said one man was stabbed while pummeling another man on the sidewalk outside a fast-food restaurant Saturday night.
STOCKTON - Witnesses said one man was stabbed while pummeling another man on the sidewalk outside a fast-food restaurant Saturday night.
The stabbing occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m. at the Burger King on North Pershing Avenue near West March Lane. Witnesses said a man in his 30s started a fight with a man who appeared to be in his 50s for no apparent reason. The fight began inside the restaurant and escalated when they went outside.
According to a security guard who was patrolling the Venetian Square Shopping Center, the younger man repeatedly punched the older man. The younger man was on top of the older man throwing punches when he was apparently stabbed near his rib cage on the left side of his abdomen, witnesses said.
"The guy that was stabbed was the one throwing the punches," the security guard said. "All I heard the (older) guy saying was, 'Stop! No! Please stop!' There was no aggression out of that man. He did not want any part of what just happened."
Witnesses said the younger man walked inside the restaurant before realizing he was stabbed. There was a heavy trail of blood leading from the sidewalk outside the restaurant to the customer service area inside.
The younger man was alert and conscious when he was taken to the hospital, witnesses said. He was expected to survive his injuries, police said.
The older man acted in self defense and was not arrested, police said. He remained at the scene and cooperated with the police investigation, telling officers, "I know I'm in the right."
The District Attorney's Office will decide whether to file assault charges against the younger man for starting the fight, police said.

With boost from state, Freudenberg-NOK to expand and hire in NHBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 10. 2013 8:54PM
PETERBOROUGH — The Executive Council on Wednesday approved $5.2 million in state-issued bonds for one of the state's largest manufacturing employers to expand an existing plant and add a third shift.
Freudenberg-NOK, which manufactures sealing components for the automotive and aeronautics industries, will use $3 million to expand its Northfield plant, with the rest of the funds used to refinance existing debt on the facility, according to N.H. Business Finance Authority Executive Director Jack Donovan.
The German-based company also has locations in Manchester, Bristol and Ashland with nearly 1,000 employees statewide.
"This expansion reflects the growth of the U.S. auto industry," Donovan told councilors at their meeting in the Peterborough Town House. "We're helping a manufacturer expand while keeping their costs down in a part of the state that needs jobs."
Established in 1989, Freudenberg-NOK is the North American joint venture between Freudenberg of Germany and NOK Corporation of Japan, with 23 locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The company's Northfield plant, in operation since 1999, will expand from 40,000 square feet to 65,000 square feet with the state-backed financing, according to Donovan.
"Right now they are running two shifts at the existing facility with 115 employees," he said. "By the end of the year, when the addition is done, they add 15 immediately."
Once the third shift is in full operation in 2014, Donovan projected the company's employment could increase from 115 up to 200 workers.
The Northfield plant specializes in auto sealing parts.
"Anywhere that two pieces of metal go together, like axles or drive-trains, you need seals or gaskets between them, and that's what they make," Donovan said. "They retreated a bit during the recession but as you may have noticed, the auto industry is expanding dramatically now, and improving exports because production costs have been brought down."
The BFA financing package was approved in a 4-1 vote, with Councilor Chris Sununu, R-Newfields, voting "no."
Sununu said the company has a strong balance sheet and could likely obtain financing on the open market.
"Why do they need the state? Why couldn't they just go to the bank," he said. "You guys have x-dollars in the till, and I'd like to see that go to some of the smaller businesses in the state that are really hurting."
Donovan responded that the lower-interest, state-backed financing is one of the few tools New Hampshire has to help large companies expand here instead of elsewhere.
"We don't waive taxes here or do the kinds of things they do in other states to attract industry. This is something we can do to keep them here," he said. "They're a good company; they like the state and we want to keep them here."
In response to a question from Councilor Debora Pignatelli, D-Nashua, Donovan said the BFA has only used about half of its bonding authority. No qualified small business applicants have been turned away, he said.
"The banks are offering generous terms, so there is no great demand for BFA guarantees right now," Donovan said.

Protecting loons: Who bears the cost?
Last year, someone shot a loon on Back Lake up in Pittsburg. Loons are classified as a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal law. The total state and local fines for killing one can reach $252,000. And yet fishermen kill loons every summer in New Hampshire and get away with it.
The fishermen don't mean to kill the birds. They are only trying to catch fish, usually bass. They weight their lines with sinkers and jigs made of lead, as they've always done. Loons eat the lead and don't last long after that.
That is why the Loon Preservation Committee and other environmental groups want to ban the sale and freshwater use of lead sinkers and jigs that weigh less than one ounce. The state has restricted lead sinkers, but not jigs, and loons are still dying.
Angler organizations say banning the lead products will cost fishermen tons of money. They say, too, that loon populations are rising, so there is no problem. But there is a problem.
Loon populations, declining for a long time, have risen in recent years. That is not because lead suddenly stopped being a threat. It is because the state and volunteer organizations like the Loon Preservation Committee have worked very hard to rebuild the populations. One fishing season in which a lot of loons happen to swallow lead can wipe out years' worth of work by the state and volunteer groups.
Lead sinkers and jigs are cheap - for anglers. They are very expensive for loons. The birds used to bear all of that cost, but preservationists and Fish and Game have eased the burden. Together they pay a heavy cost so that fishermen can save a little money on weights and jigs. It seems to make more sense to have the fishermen pay a little more for tackle rather than have so many people working so hard to keep that cheap lead out of the mouths of these cherished birds.
Editor's note: The initial version of this editorial incorrectly stated that the bill would ban all lead sinkers and jigs. It would not.

Gov. Maggie Hassan declared a state of emergency early Wednesday morning before heading out to assess first-hand flood damaged areas in Westmoreland, Alstead, Washington and Lebanon.
"This is devastating and we've got to figure out how to get these people's homes back," she said outside of the flood ravaged Rivermere affordable housing development in Lebanon. "It's really extraordinary what the power of water can do."
State officials are already estimating the cost to repair the damage exceeds the $2 million FEMA threshold for federal repair funds, she said, and are working to document all of the damage that has occurred from the weather system that started last Wednesday.
Residents who have personal property damage to report or are aware of any public property damage that has not been assessed yet are encouraged to call 211 to report the damage, she said.
While on Hassan's stop in the town of Washington, DOT Commissioner Chris Clement said they had visited a shelter housing about 20 teens who had been on a camping trip.
Clements and Perry Plummer, acting director of the NH Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said they had seen a lot of washed out roads damaged in flash floods that morning.
Clements commented of the sporadic nature of where the damage hit and where it didn't.
"It's kind of a strange phenomenon," he said.
When asked about Route 12 A in Alstead, which had been rebuilt after floods washed it out in 2005, Clements said larger and more culverts will be used when the road is rebuilt since the mountainous terrain the road winds through makes widening or shifting the road impossible.
When Hassan reached Lebanon she met privately with Fire Chief Christopoulos to discuss the closed Route 120 that had suffered a water main break during the tumultuous rain event in the city on Tuesday afternoon.
Outside of the meeting he said the route should be reopened by evening. The state road also had suffered a great deal of washout.
It is estimated about 1.8 inches of rain fell on the city in about 45 minutes, he said.
Damage to the Storrs Ski Area has caused Lebanon to cancel its Fourth of July fireworks show that is held there every year, he said.
Christopoulos declined to give an estimate of the cost of the damage to the city as the damage was still being assessed.
Hassan then visited Slayton Hill Road and Dulac Street where the newly opened affordable housing complex Rivermere had been evacuated due to a landslide and flooding. She almost lost a boot to the mud she said while touring the inside of a mud-filled apartment.
Seventeen families comprised of 42 people were evacuated, said Andrew Winter, executive director of the Twin Pine Housing Trust that owns the development.
The federally funded development offers low-income residents affordable housing, he said. Residents pay 30 percent of their income. Currently the families are being put up in local hotel and motels by the Trust. However, the development is mud filled and without power and water, Winter said.
So he is beginning the process of finding permanent housing for the residents. Something that is not going to be easy since the Housing Trust that has over 200 properties in the Upper Valley region usually only has a handful of vacancies because of the high demand for affordable housing, he said.
It's a "heartbreaking" situation, he said. These families are the least able to afford having to relocate, he said.
Waiting outside of their home at 4 Dulac Street to talk to Hassan were father and son Albert Craig Sr. and Jr.
The family has lived on Dulac Street since 1996, Craig Jr. said, and in that time he's never seen the neighborhood so "ponded" during a rainfall.
The Craigs said they believe the new housing development that was built at the end of the street by filling in wetlands and raising the ground level caused the Slayton Hill runoff that devastated Slayton Hill Road and Dulac Street and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Craig JR. said he understood the development residents had been excavated, but there are about 24 families in the neighbourhoods who don't live in the development who are without power and water.
Craig Sr. said they are currently living in a hotel at their own expense.
The Craig family lost about ten feet of their yard into the Mascoma River.

MTB Pedals
Exustar Mountain Bike Pedals.When it comes to choosing a pedal, personal preference is everything. Essentially, the choice is whether you go with clipless pedals, or standard pedals. Clipless systems, available for both mountain and road bikes, typically give more control and more efficient power transfer. While there are many different systems, all require a cycling-specific shoe – usually dubbed 'SPD compatible' to accommodate the cleat that snaps your foot into place on the pedal. Conventional flat pedals are also an option. These are sometimes preferred by mountain bikers who want to ride more extreme trails, or jumps, while standard road bike pedals – with or without toe clips – are typically preferred by recreational riders or tourers.

The euro weakened as European Central Bank policy makers prepared to meet tomorrow amid renewed concern the debt crisis will worsen. U.S. stocks fluctuate while Treasuries gained.
The euro depreciated 0.4 percent to $1.3524 at 3:48 p.m. in New York, while the dollar gained versus 14 of 16 major peers. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was little changed after erasing an early 0.4 percent drop. The 10-year Treasury yield fell three basis points to 1.96 percent and the rate on German bunds lost two points to 1.63 percent. Russia's 2027 ruble bonds snapped a seven-day slide on plans to open the market to foreign investors. Oil reversed a 1.7 percent drop.
ECB President Mario Draghi will head a meeting of policy makers meet tomorrow in Frankfurt as euro-area leaders gather for a summit in Brussels. The euro has retreated from a 14-month high against the dollar reached on Feb. 1 as Spain's premier faced opposition calls to resign. Stocks and U.S. equity-index futures gained earlier today as company earnings from ArcelorMittal to Walt Disney Co. beat estimates.
"It feels like we're starting a rotation of worry back to Europe again," Sandy Lincoln, the Chicago-based chief market strategist in the U.S. with BMO Global Asset Management, which oversees about $120 billion, said in a telephone interview. "This is a very fragile environment so whenever you have glass that's out there that can break easily, people get themselves concerned."
'Still Struggling'
The euro slipped against 13 of its 16 major counterparts, losing 0.8 percent versus the yen. Australia's dollar slid against 15 of 16 peers after retail sales unexpectedly dropped for a third month. The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index, calculated based on premiums on currency options, climbed as high as 9.6 percent, the most since July 25.
The 17-nation euro also slid as Spain's premier resisted opposition calls to resign and Italy's Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA faced criminal probes over losses it hid in 2008 and 2009 using derivatives, while Greece's finance minister said the shared currency's strength is a concern. The shared currency last week reached the strongest level since 2011.
The ECB "is not only governing a region which is still struggling to achieve growth but also has to cope with a currency which is at risk of becoming too strong," Adrian van Tiggelen, senior investment specialist in The Hague at ING Investment Management, which oversees more than $400 billion, said in a note today. "If this trend continues the ECB may be forced to lower interest rates even further and, or, make a less conservative use of the printing press."

Ericsson will establish a presence in Myanmar in June, with the opening of a small office in Yangon.
In addition, Ericsson will collaborate with human rights stakeholders to assess both the human rights situation and the socioeconomic impact that telecommunications brings.
Myanmar is perhaps the country least touched by the tremendous developments in telecommunications of the last two decades. Today, 60% of the world's population has a mobile subscription. However in Myanmar, with an estimated population of over 60 million, only around one million people today enjoy the benefits of a mobile telephone, and perhaps 400,000 have internet access.
In recent years many developing nations such as those in Africa and Asia have seen mobile telephony deliver benefits in accessibility of health services, education, provision of electricity, improved access to trade and employment and more. These are the benefits that could add to the positive momentum observed in Myanmar.
Although it is still early, international observers including the United Nations consider that there are real opportunities for positive and meaningful developments to improve the human rights situation and deepen the transition to democracy in Myanmar. The recent suspension of sanctions by the European Union marks the recognition of these positive developments.
"With a mobile penetration below two percent, Myanmar most likely has the least developed telecommunications services in the world," says Ericsson Vice President for Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, Elaine Weidman Grunewald. "Telecommunications is on top of the agenda in Myanmar in order attract the much needed foreign investment. Myanmar needs foreign investment and trade in order to continue the positive progress in its socio-economic development."
Ericsson supports the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) and The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) initiative for applying human rights principles and standards within business activities in Myanmar based on a multi-stakeholder engagement process. The initiative will be based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and will soon be launched in Myanmar, and we will support and play an active role here.
Mads Holst Jensen, the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), says: "It is encouraging that companies like Ericsson are considering the human rights implications of their potential activities in Burma-Myanmar at such an early stage, and integrating them in their decision-making processes and assessment.
"We welcome their support for the Initiative we are developing involving businesses, governments, and civil society actors to promote the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as the basic building blocks of economic activity in Burma-Myanmar."
Weidman Grunewald adds: "We strongly believe telecommunications can have a positive impact on people, economy and society in Myanmar, but we also recognize that it is essential that we conduct our business in a responsible way."

At the start of 2010, ArLynn Presser from Winnetka, Illinois made a New Year's resolution to meet all of her Facebook friends before the year was out.
Having 325 friends on the social networking site meant that such a feat would be in the realm of possibility, though by no means easy. In fact, for 51-year-old ArLynn, it wouldn't be easy at all.
Suffering from agoraphobia, she had hardly been outside her home in 30 years. However, she was determined to take on the self-imposed challenge and travel the world to meet people she had only ever communicated with online.
Halfway through the year, she met Facebook friend 140, filmmaker Ben Gonzales. He immediately thought ArLynn's adventure would make a compelling documentary and proposed the idea to her. She agreed.
Having come in halfway through her quest, Gonzales had obviously missed many of ArLynn's meetings, but luckily for him she'd been using a basic video camera to document them. Budget constraints prevented Gonzales from following her to many of the countries she went on to visit, so he asked her son Joseph, who was accompanying her on her trip, to film with an HD camera.
ArLynn's challenging journey has taken her to 13 countries, including South Korea, India and England, and so far she's met 288 of her Facebook friends.
Along the way she did a number of things she could never have imagined just a few months before, like taking opera singing lessons and even learning how to be a bodyguard.
Despite some 'friends' unfriending her when hearing of her idea, the vast majority were happy to meet. "Most people have been incredibly welcoming," she told the Vancouver Sun. Two of her Facebook friends were animals—she met them too, of course.
With ArLynn still on her quest to meet all of her friends, Gonzales' documentary, Face to Facebook, is still in production.
Looking at the footage he's gathered so far, the filmmaker is confident he's captured something special. "It's hard not to get emotionally involved in the story," he said. "It's great to see her growth, her journey, her transformation….it's quite remarkable." Gonzales hopes the movie (trailer below) will be completed in the coming months.
If given the opportunity, would you relish the opportunity to meet all your Facebook friends face to face, or would you rather keep the meeting place online?

Posted on July 17, 2012
Well, it's just over a week now: time to tie up loose ends, get those fragile collectibles sealed into protective plastic, and brace ourselves for the onslaught of book bingers.
It's also time for me to worry, as I do annually, whether I've said enough nice things about what we have to sell. There's plenty in the LP department, lots of children's books, piles of cookbooks. Did I mention the type specimens? Did I mention all the iris Murdoch first editions, and all the Muriel Spark? The Caroline Kennedy autograph? The Harlan Ellison autographs? The Levi Johnston autograph?
There isn't much more time to fill you in on everything you mustn't miss, especially since–as things are arranged in our world–the treasure that speaks to you especially will be something I didn't notice as it went by. One of the reasons for bothering with all this book shifting is my personal faith that somewhere, someone out there will go through an amazing positive life change from buying a copy of The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Anyway, I must now concern myself with aisle space, table placement, sign placement, volunteer placement, and all other such technical matters. This is work which involves both heavy thinking and heavy lifting, and, while I'm at that, I also need to clean out my work area so it can be YOUR checkout area. This is also time-consuming work. So I would like to say just one little word to those of you who have brought me books this week.
Unfortunately, the Newberry will not let me use that little word on this website.
Um, I understand about those of you who are moving and have somehow ridiculously scheduled the move for the end of July. I presume you didn't know in June that you'd be moving, and couldn't bring books earlier. I understand about those of you who just finished reading The Help and want to drop it off and pass it along.
But, friend: twenty boxes of books? And not even in boxes but just piled in the back of your SUV, so a volunteer who was supposed to be doing something useful had to run around and find boxes and help you unpack your car? Yes, the books were fine old treasures: well, they were old, anyhow. They had obviously been sitting in your uncle's basement since the late 1940s. Moldy, musty, torn: the volunteer said he didn't know whether he was smelling your books or the dumpster with the remains of Sunday's wedding dinner in it. (Fish, of course.)
I liked the thirty volume set: that would have been worth selling. Or it would have been if you hadn't let it sit in something wet. My own nose isn't perfectly developed: was that antifreeze or kerosene or did one of your pets forget about house training? The book was soaked through the cover and the last forty or so pages, so it sat in whatever it was for quite some time. Thank you for this. I was able to make space by throwing the whole set away: no good without that volume, and that volume was no good at all now.
And while I'm on the subject, I didn't like the way you said "Your Book Fair is next week?" Tell me you're not going to do this to me again during the Fair itself. I know I didn't tell you not to: it wasn't until you had left that I thought, "Wait a minute. He wouldn't, would he?"
Eight days to go.

At least 20 travelers have missed their flights at a wildly congested Durango-La Plata County Airport in the last week because they couldnt get through security in time, airport and airline officials estimated Thursday during an Airport Commission meeting.
Officials are advising passengers to get to the airport at least 90 minutes early, especially if their flight leaves mid-afternoon.
Since American Airlines added an additional departure on Valentines Day, there now are four flights leaving within 30 minutes of 3 p.m., creating a bottleneck of 300 or so passengers all trying to board flights about the same time.
Lines for security have extended from the checkpoint to the front of the airline ticket counters. The departure lounge has become so overcrowded that the security checkpoint has had to momentarily shut down for safety reasons.
Gary Suiter, interim airport director, appealed to the Transportation Security Administration for a second security checkpoint but was denied based on TSA funding formulas that Suiter said are skewed toward larger airports.
To add insult to injury, the TSA on Tuesday took away the airports L-3 body-scanning equipment, nicknamed the Gumby because it makes a generic, cartoon-like image of passengers. It went to a larger airport to replace the controversial Rapiscan scanner that made the explicit, full-body images of passengers.
With the loss of Gumby, the Durango-La Plata Airport is back to checking passengers with metal detectors and body pat-downs. The wand also has been discontinued.
But the airport commission also faces logistical barriers to relieving the congestion, saying the airport needs to add another X-ray machine for luggage, which would cost $1.2 million, and create more space for the departure lounge, such as putting up a temporary structure.
Officials were so desperate for answers Thursday that Airport Commissioner Marcel Theberge suggested putting up a tent, but this idea was rejected as not being secure enough.
Officials appreciate that the growth in passengers is a good problem to have. In January, passengers boarding were up 18.4 percent from a year ago as 14,201 passengers boarded flights here. The average capacity on flights was about 73 percent.
But Jody Doney, a manager for Skywest, a contractor for United Air Lines, wondered if the growth ultimately might be self-defeating, noting that people are not going to wait 90 minutes in line; its too long. Were going to lose customers.
Doney faulted officials for dithering.
Its extremely frustrating from an airline perspective, Doney said. You needed to put up a sprung-structure (to accommodate the overflow) in August. You continue to talk about it.
Commissioners also expressed frustration as they heard about delays for improvements caused by bureaucratic red tape and structural issues.
Commissioner Gary Derck, who also is an executive at Durango Mountain Resort, seemed to lose patience when staff talked about future plans for new parking ticket spitters, or the machines that emit the tickets.
Get the parking space you need before Easter Sunday, before you go for the froufrou, Derck said.
The fee for parking a whole day at the airport is set to increase by a dollar to $7 in March to accommodate parking improvements.
Shallow-buried utility lines also could cause delays in paving the overflow parking lot and a terminal expansion project because they would have to be moved before work could begin.
The airport also has not begun collecting a $4.50 facility fee on airline tickets because the Federal Aviation Administration has not signed off on the $6 million expansion of the terminal. This revenue is supposed to finance the debt service on the construction. Officials wondered about the possibility of getting a bridge loan so construction could begin sooner. There seemed to be confusion about what kind of upgrades the new terminal needs, such as a jet bridge or a baggage belt.
The airport, which has been without a permanent director since Ron Dent retired in January, is waiting for the La Plata County commissioners and the Durango City Council to OK a new intergovernmental agreement before extending a job offer to a finalist candidate who has cleared a criminal background check. The offer is expected to be made early next month.
