The Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival was held last Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this past week, and it was (as always for the June iteration of the festival) hot outside.
That really has nothing to do with this column, per se, but I would just like to point out the lengths I go in the name of journalism. I know that some reporters cover war zones, tyrannical dictatorships and genocides, which is admirable. However, they have never walked among the fields of Sam Michaels Park on a pre-summer West Virginia Saturday. It was not the promise of free wine and coffee samples that brought me to the festival. Rather, it was the love of reporting from the field, the rush of being there when events unfold to-well, OK. I came for the wine and coffee.
Wine, as we all know, is beer's classier, slightly snooty cousin. As well it should be; after all, Jesus did not turn water into beer. Wine will essentially take you for the same ride as beer, although the car will be nicer, the taste will be better, and should you find yourself too frequently spending time with cousin Chambourcin, you will find yourself graced with a ready-made noun that describes you perfectly: wino. Think of that-there are no other tailored words for alcoholism except for the one dealing with wine, thereby showing its importance to mankind. There is no such thing as a "beero" or a "vodko."
During the festival, there are always a number of tents set up by local wineries, mostly from Virginia (although Forks of Cheat, from Morgantown, is usually there with a great selection of sweet, fruity wines, many of which can be found at Grapes & Grains Gourmet on German Street).
One of the last tents featured a table with Black Dog Coffee, which gave out decent-sized samples of its coffee. Now, it may seem like a bad idea to indulge in steaming hot coffee during a hot day, but the table was always packed with people. Black Dog was offering an iced coffee to help beat the heat, as well. I really have nothing funny to say about this. I just liked the coffee. Thanks, Black Dog (as a side note, Black Dog coffee can be found in the German Street Coffee and Candlery, which is just a short walk from Grapes & Grains-go on, get to buyin').
Another tent featured some truly unique craftsmanship through the combination of chair and hammock. I humbly submit to you, dear reader, that the best thing about a hammock is that it's not a chair. If I am of a mind wherein a hammock sounds like just the thing to rest in, I demand my hammock not be a chair, no matter what. A hammock is not comfortable; you know it, I know it, wolves know it. You lay in a hammock because it's an outdoor bed. If it were comfortable, on a nice day you may never go inside again. To counteract this potential loss of sleeptime productivity, the manufacturers designed the hammock in such a way that you never forget you are lying in a net. The only way to rest easy in a net is to not move at all. The thing is almost a trap, when you think about it; were it suspended over your head by a rope, you'd avoid it, certain that Elmer Fudd was somewhere nearby, whispering softly "Awight, buddy. Awmost thewe. Keep gowin, fewwa. Now you're mine."
There are remarkable things to be found in each tent-skillful creations from talented people. It's beautiful to look at, so long as you can get close enough to see. It gets crowded quickly, especially as high noon approaches and the harsh, unforgiving West Virginia sun beats down upon the heads of the gathered masses, pinking their flesh without pity. It's a little ridiculous the lengths to which some people go to avoid the sun, which of course leads to some pretty brazen acts of rudeness.
While trying to look at a few paintings, I had to step back for several people who would rather squeeze between me and the support ropes for the tent than to spend three seconds in the sun. It's not as if there is a large man with a magnifying glass waiting outside the tent to melt any stragglers who wander out of the shade-it's just the sun, and although it can get hot, spending the time it takes to blink in the sun will not seriously harm you. Even if it were, it would not kill you to throw out an "excuse me" or two, even if you don't mean it.
Well, enough of the complaints-the important thing to take away is that the Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival is a fun time, filled with wine and coffee. The wine and coffee were especially good. Wine and coffee.

Melissa Bower is the public information officer for the city of Leavenworth. The city is sponsoring its annual Citywide Spring Cleanup Saturday.
1) What is the city of Leavenworth's Spring Cleanup?
The Leavenworth Citywide Spring Cleanup is an opportunity for volunteers to clean the entire city in one day. Church groups, service clubs, scout troops and many others volunteer to pick up trash. The city assigns each group a grid on the city map and provides trash bags and gloves to volunteers. Once completed, volunteers can leave the trash bags on site and contact city staff to pick them up. This event coincides with the free first Saturday brush site, which will be available that day. Citizens Savings and Loan in Leavenworth is also cosponsoring a "Shred-it" truck at its Leavenworth locations that day. Whether or not residents are participating in the cleanup, anyone can bring documents to shred. This is a great opportunity to destroy junk mail, old receipts or bills or anything else containing personally identifying information – thus preventing identity theft. The Shred-it trucks will be available April 6 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Citizens Savings and Loan, 5151 S. Fourth St. and from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Citizens Savings and Loan, 312 S. Fifth St.
2) When does it start? How long does it last?
The Citywide Spring Cleanup begins with a kickoff ceremony 8:30 a.m. at Warren Middle School, 10th Avenue and Gatewood Street in Leavenworth. There will be doughnuts, coffee and juice. Volunteer groups will receive their grid assignments, supplies. They'll also receive T-shirts and free one-day passes to Wollman Aquatic Center as a "Thank you" for volunteering. From there, groups will go to their assigned grid to clean up trash.
3) How many groups will be participating?
There are 40 groups participating with more than 1,200 volunteers. Church groups, school clubs, scout troops, Leavenworth businesses and many others have volunteered to donate their time pick up trash in areas throughout the city. Motorists should be aware of these groups that will be working along roadsides, thoroughfares and other public areas of the city.
4) Can volunteers still help? How?
Volunteers can pick up trash in the city at any time. They do not need to register for the Citywide Spring Cleanup to pick up trash, however, groups who do volunteer to pick up trash in the city of Leavenworth should make arrangements to have the trash bags picked up beforehand with city staff.
5) Where can residents get more information?
For questions relating to regular trash pickup, special pickup, recycling or the brush site, contact the Municipal Service Center at 913-682-0650. For information about the Spring Clean-up, e-mail Melissa Bower at email@example.com or 913-680-2610.

Nice photo Sue! Cats and dogs surely have it made when in a good home. I miss my littel man back home in Virginia (Joey the cat) and I really am looking forward to getting a dog to do some running and hiking with come September. So you missing MMT or what?

An American woman has claimed she had to drop rape and assault charges against her own husband in order to remain in Ireland with her two children.
Speaking to TheJournal.ie, the woman known only as Deborah and her now ex-husband - who is a European citizen - moved to Ireland in 2001, and because of her immigration status she was obliged to go with him to the Irish police immigration office every six months to confirm he was still working in the country, allowing her to stay.
'We had separated because of the violence after I had my first son but we tried to work things out,' she told TheJournal.ie. 'In 2004, things were OK for a while but by Christmas he had become more violent and he took a belt to me, and split the back of my head open.'
A few months later, Deborah told her husband she wanted a separation and she said that night he beat her and sexually assaulted her in their house.
'I called the police and they arrested him, he admitted that he'd done it,' she said.
After that the woman and her two children reportedly moved into a women's refuge for a short period, but when the time came to apply for emergency funding she claimed the social welfare workers were hostile towards her.
"My immigration card had expired and the man who was there said it was illegal for me to be here and how dare I try to get money. I was standing there with two small children, my face was a mess, it was obvious someone had tore into me and he actually told me that he had a good mind to call the police on me."
Deborah said she had thought of leaving Ireland but one of her children had been born in a European country and she was told by an Irish lawyer that if she returned to the U.S. with the two children at that time, she could be accused of kidnapping them.
'I really had no way to leave. It was either leave them behind with him or take them with me and possibly have to send them back alone since there was no guarantee I'd be allowed back in. I was trapped in a place it was illegal for me to be in.'
When the time came to have her immigration status renewed, Deborah was told it could not be done without her husband, who was by this time remanded to prison.
The charges against him meant that he could not be within a certain distance of her and when he came before the courts, Deborah said she was 'forced to drop the rape charges' so that he could help her to stay in the country.
'It was a humiliating experience,' she told TheJournal.ie 'I spoke in front of the same police who were there when I went for the medical examination, they knew what had happened and the only reason I was dropping the charges was because of my immigration status. In any other situation, I would have seen it through but I had to let him away with it.'
After receiving free legal advice and writing to the government about her situation, Deborah was eventually granted leave to stay in the country independent of her husband by the Department of Justice.
The Immigrant Council of Ireland has warned that immigrants who are victims of domestic violence are often silenced out of fear that reporting the crime will impact on their ability to remain in the country.
The council is now seeking to have domestic violence formally recognized in Irish immigration law and the provision of emergency accommodation and welfare benefits for victims.
However in a statement to TheJournal.ie, The Irish Department of Justice said that it 'does not accept that the lack of specific legislation in this area is keeping people trapped in violent relationships.'

An Open iPhone App Market That Doesn't Require Jailbreaking... And Which Apple Can't Stop
from the html-it-up dept
And yet... in all of that, it seems that many people forgot that original promise of apps all just being created in HTML. Indeed, if you look beneath the surface, you would realize that many iPhone apps really are just made in HTML and then compiled into being native iPhone apps. Using HTML alone, you can access many of the phone's features and certainly create all sorts of apps. But still, there has been general anger over Apple's mercurial gatekeeper activities. Back in January, we noted that Google had remembered the ability to create apps via HTML and had simply routed around the App Store. It made us wonder why others weren't doing it too.
While there have been a few "independent" app stores for the iPhone, they've all required jailbreaking the phone. And while that's now officially legal as per the Library of Congress, it's still not something your everyday iPhone user wants to do. So I've been somewhat fascinated by a new offering that's launching today called OpenAppMkt, which effectively creates a brand new app market for iPhones all via HTML (both the openappmkt app itself, and all the apps in it are HTML based). The experience is very much like the regular app store, with the small exception of having to tap the "add to home" button:
Overall, this fascinates me for two reasons. First, it's good to get more people realizing that HTML is already pretty damn good at creating app-style experiences, without having to create special compiled code and, second, it's a really clever way to totally route around Apple as a gatekeeper (without requiring a jailbreak), and is a reminder that even on "closed" systems, openness will often find a way.

Ray Lewis showed up Tuesday for the first day of the Ravens' mandatory minicamp, looking considerably leaner after an offseason in which he dedicated himself to adjusting to a quicker and pass-oriented NFL.
Lewis' longtime teammate, Ed Reed, meanwhile, made his own statement by not showing up, spurring even more questions about the mercurial safety's commitment and mindset heading into the 2012 season.
While running back Ray Rice expectedly stayed away from the mandatory camp as his agent works on a long-term contract extension , Reed was an unexcused absence, his latest display of discontent with the team as he heads into the final year of his contract.

text: We're less than a month away from the start of the NFL season, so it's time to start the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. This year, the previews will be a little shorter, but will hopefully give us enough of a taste so that, come fall, we'll all be officially sick of previews. Today: The perpetually craptacular Detroit Lions. Your author is Craig Barker. Craig Barker is one of the co-authors of The Hoover Street Rag, which covers University of Michigan athletics. He's writing this preview because he believes that the Lions on Sunday are the penance he pays for watching Michigan on Saturdays. His words are after the jump.From time to time in my life, I've wondered what it would be like to see the Detroit Lions go in to a season as a popular media pick to win the NFC. Not even the Super Bowl, mind you, just winning the NFC and having a shot in the game. I've been through the nerve-wracking high drama Finals moments with my teams before, so it's not a completely foreign feeling, but with the Lions, I don't even know where to begin thinking about what it would be like. Then again, from time to time, I ponder the end of the world, and what that would be like. So, I'm probably not your best bet for considering the whole spectrum of idle pondering. Every year about this time, I watch as my fellow Lions fans ramp up their hope level, in spite of pesky things like logic, facts, and statistical analysis. This is going to be the year, they just know it, a break here, a bounce here, and we're in the playoffs, and then it's anyone's game. I'm no better in this regard. Every year I get suckered in, and by October, sometimes early, sometimes late, I'm counting up the number of distinct and unique ways in which the Lions will blow it in the end. It's just Lionesque incompetence; a wonderful yet horrifying blend of calliope music and terrible football. Last season's 6-2 start ended with a 1-7 finish, a disheartened endgame for those of us who want to believe, particularly the 51-14 debacle in San Diego in Week 15. Sadly, this 7-9 mark was the high water mark of the Millen regime thus far. But like a tinhorn Central American dictator who is a committed anti-Communist during the Cold War, Millen is (Team) President for Life, and there's nothing that the common people can do about it. So why should this year (or the near future for that matter) be any better? Here's my top 4 reasons: (I was going to give you one for each Lions playoff win in the Super Bowl era, but a list of one is, by definition, not a list.) 1). The Lions currently have the best quarterback in the NFC North (and it won't matter). With the departure of he who shall not be named from Green Bay, the projected starting quarterbacks in the NFC North this season are Detroit's Jon Kitna, Chicago's Kyle Grossman (or is it Rex Orton), Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, and Minnesota's Tarvaris Jackson. This puts Kitna at the top of the heap, but it's like playing king of the hill in North Dakota; it's a small heap and there's not a lot of competition. Kitna is also blessed with two fantastic wide receivers (at least on paper), Roy Williams and Calvin "Megatron" Johnson. The problem is, the Lions parted ways with pass-happy offensive coordinator Mike Martz during the off-season, and Head Coach Rod Marinelli has promised a renewed focus on the run game. This shouldn't be too hard, as the Lions actually finished an honest to goodness NFL game last season (admittedly against the Arizona Cardinals) with negative rushing yardage. What this does not change is the fact that the Lions will still struggle to match last year's seven wins. 2). They play in the NFC. If there were in the AFC, this preview would have merely listed any of the nine teams that are going to make the playoffs ahead of the Lions and called it a day. At this point of the preview, I'm sort of wishing the Lions were in the AFC. 3). They have Jason Hanson. It has always been my firm belief that if one were inclined to purchase a Lions jersey to wear (which, to be honest, is like buying a less itchy hairshirt), it should be a Jason Hanson jersey. And yes, I know, suggesting that getting the jersey of a kicker borders on the insane, but let's look at the facts. Hanson was a teammate of Drew Bledsoe's at Washington State. He's the longest tenured current NFL player with one team now that he who shall not be named is playing for the Jets and Michael Strahan is now spending Sundays with Curt, Terry, Howie, and Jimmy and he's the last NFL player who still with the team he played for before the introduction of free agency and the salary cap. He still has a lot of leg for a 38-year old guy and well, who will look more foolish, the guy in the Hanson jersey, or the guys in the Harrington jersey. In an era where every Lion will look to find a way to disappoint you, Hanson is the one constant positive force. 4). No one lives forever That said, until William Clay Ford, Sr. decides he no longer wants to own the Lions, or passes on to the Glass House in the sky, Lions fans likely have little reason to hope. We will continue to do so for any number of reasons, but we will not see them sniffing a Super Bowl, let alone hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. We will continue to hope, because hope dies last.

Jason Campbell and Kyle Boller were getting work at quarterback during Wednesday's media window, with Bruce Gradkowski an interested bystander.
Of the three players who had concussions against Denver, center Samson Satele and defensive end Matt Shaughnessy were at practice, while Chris Johnson was not. To the untrained eye, Johnson apppeared to have no symptoms following the game or Monday in the locker room, talking with reporters and looking sharp and clear-eyed.
There was no sign of Louis Murphy, the wide receiver who had a chest injury which Profootballtalk.com reported to be a bruised lung.
Guard Robert Gallery (calf) was on the field practicing. Linebacker Thomas Howard was doing agility drills and did not appear to be practicing. Wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee) and defensive tackle John Henderson (stress fracture) were not present.

Do users know how to find what they want on your site? Do they know what you sell? Or how to contact you?
One of the biggest questions you will encounter when designing a Web site is whether visitors "get it." You may have followed all my advice about keeping it simple and organized, but because everyone's thought process is different, you won't know whether what you intended comes through until people start using your site.
One of the best ways to conduct a Web usability test is to recruit your friends and family to try out your site. So pick up some take-out, go to their houses (where they may use different Web browsers or operating systems), and watch them click. Give them some tasks to do: place an order, get contact information, find something specific. If they get frustrated or take a long time, then you know you may have more work to do.

Phillips: I'm not done yet
Wales star Mike Phillips has denied suggestions he is ready to quite the Test arena.
The British & Irish Lions scrumhalf hinted that he could walk away from the Test arena after the famous tourists secured a 2-1 series victory over Australia earlier this month.
He is out of contract with Bayonne at the end of next season and expressed fears that his international career could affect future contracts.
But Phillips insists he will not turn his back on Wales and he is already eyeing the 2015 World Cup and even the 2017 Lions tour of New Zealand.
"I am still as hungry as ever," said Phillips in a statement issued by the WRU.
"This could have been my last Lions tour so I wanted to make the most of it.
"I want to achieve things and to nail certain things in my career. The 2017 tour is achievable but first is the World Cup.
"It's a big goal of mine to make that and I really want to go into the tournament as number one.
"I think I am still improving and I've not peaked."
The 30-year-old has flourished under Warren Gatland and has been a mainstay of three RBS 6 Nations titles since the Kiwi took the helm.
And he admits he owes a huge amount to the Wales coaching staff.
"I get on really well with Rob (Howley), Shaun (Edwards) and Warren," said Phillips.
"The first day they came in and spoke, I was on the edge of my seat listening.
"They've been a massive part of my career and gave me an opportunity at the start. I feel comfortable with the coaches and that has helped me on the pitch.
"I've massive respect for them and what they achieved as players and coaches and I don't want to let them down.
"They've been good to me and but as I've told them I have been good to them!"

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Nov. 24, 2002) -- East Tennessee State held the lead for most of this afternoon's matchup with South Carolina, but foul trouble and clutch shots led to a 71-66 Gamecock victory in the opening game of the Carolina Center in Columbia.
Chuck Eidson scored 19 points and had 10 rebounds, and Carlos Powell added 15 points and 10 rebounds as the Gamecocks (1-0) played in front of 14,922 fans, the school's largest crowd ever for a men's game.
The fans were nervous for most of the game, as the Buccaneers (1-1) led 59-55 after junior forward Jerald Fields' (Gainesville, Fla.)3-pointer with 7:49 left.
But Eidson and Tony Kitchings, who had nine points and 11 rebounds, got back-to-back tip-ins to tie it at 59. After the teams traded buckets, Powell gave South Carolina the lead for good with a 3-pointer that made it 64-61 with four minutes to go.
The Buccaneers would manage two more baskets down the stretch - freshman Tim Smith's (Newport News, Fla.) jumper that made it 64-63 with 3:41 to go, and sophomore Sam Oatman's (Neenah, Wis.) 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left that cut the final margin to 71-66.
Fields led East Tennessee State with 16 points and 11 rebounds, and sophomore guard Tiras Wade (Tampa, Fla.) added 14 points. But Fields, Wade and junior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.), who had 11 points and nine rebounds, would all foul out in a sloppy game that had 37 fouls, 48 turnovers and a double-technical when Wadood and Rolando Howell got tied up under the basket late in the game.
The win means South Carolina is now 4-0 opening new arenas, going back to the 33-5 win over Olympia YMCA in the 1911 opener of the Carolina Gymnasium.
Sunday's game wasn't quite that easy. The Buccaneers, the Southern Conference's Northern Division champions last year, didn't seem the least bit intimidated by the new surroundings.
Junior college transfer Kerbrell Brown got South Carolina's first basket at the Carolina Center - a dunk off a pretty assist by Eidson with 19:46 to go. But the Gamecocks had trouble with the new rims after that, missing their next nine shots as East Tennessee State took a 16-3 lead.
Then Powell came in. The sophomore hit a bucket with 13:44 left in the half and 30 seconds later, got the crowd screaming with a steal and lay-up whistled good after the Buccaneers were called for goaltending.
South Carolina ended the sloppy half - the teams combined for 23 turnovers - on a 38-18 run to lead 41-34 at the break.
East Tennessee State came out pressing in the second half, forcing five turnovers in the first six minutes to take a 51-45 lead.

Nadal claims convincing win
Rafael Nadal continued his comeback from a back injury by crushing fellow Spaniard Albert Montanes 6-1 6-2 to reach the last eight of the Rio Open.
The top seed, playing in his first tournament since losing to Stanislas Wawrinka in the Australian Open final, broke three times in each set, dropping his serve once in the second, as he made short work of his compatriot.
Nadal will now face Portuguese world number 48 Joao Sousa after he overcame Spain's Albert Ramos 7-6 (8/6) 2-6 6-3.
Fabio Fognini, the third seed from Italy, survived a second-set scare as he recorded a 7-6 (7/1) 4-6 6-3 win over Argentinian Pablo Cuevas.
Next up for Fognini is Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov, who came from a set down to defeat Uruguayan qualifier Facundo Bagnis 6-7 (4/7), 6-2, 7-6 (7/4).
In the women's draw fifth seed Kurumi Nara from Japan swept past Germany's Anna-Lena Friedsam 6-0 7-6 (7/3).
Spain's Lourdes Dominguez Lino came from a set down to knock out South Africa's Chanelle Scheepers 2-6 7-6 (9/7) 6-1.
Brazil's Teliana Pereira and Romanian qualifier Irina-Camelia Begu were other second-round winners.

The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Crime Laboratory has recorded its 200th match through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The 200th hit, involved DNA from a Lincoln burglary case.
The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Crime Laboratory has recorded its 200th match through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The 200th hit, involved DNA from a Lincoln burglary case.
CODIS is a database of DNA profiles searched against each other to identify any potential matches that can be used to aid an investigation. A CODIS hit provides new investigative information on a case by comparing a target DNA record against the DNA records contained in the database.
"The CODIS data base is an invaluable investigative tool for law enforcement agencies across the state," said Colonel David Sankey, Superintendent Nebraska State Patrol. "Our Crime Laboratory takes great pride in maintaining the database and ensuring its integrity."
Developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), CODIS was established in 1994 by the DNA Identification Act and implemented in 1998. One part of CODIS is the National DNA Index System (NDIS). NDIS contains DNA profiles contributed by federal, state and local participating forensic laboratories. Currently all 50 states participate in NDIS.
The NSP Crime Lab is the only CODIS repository/laboratory in the state. In 1997, Nebraska passed the DNA Detection of Sexual and Violent Offenders Act allowing for the collection of DNA from state offenders convicted of felony sex and other specified offenses. In 2010, the Sex Offender Registration Act and the DNA Identification Information Act were amended to allow for the collection of DNA samples from all sex offenders and convicted felons.
From 1997 to 2005, the NSP Crime laboratory received approximately 300 offender DNA samples a year. In 2006, the number doubled to approximately 600 samples. Today, the NSP Crime Laboratory receives approximately 6000 offender DNA samples in a year.
On a weekly basis the NSP Crime Lab searches its DNA records to see if there is a match in the database. If there is a match, CODIS automatically returns messages in the system to the laboratories involved. The local labs then evaluate the materials and release the information to the law enforcement agency working the case.
As of August 2012 the NDIS contained nearly 10 million offender profiles and more than 447,300 forensic profiles.
Nebraska currently has 19,181 offender profiles and 1,060 forensic samples in CODIS.

Veterans' Day recognized in Big Run
BIG RUN — VFW Post 9044 and the Ladies Auxiliary held their annual ceremony recognizing and celebrating Veterans' Day on Sunday at the Big Run War Memorial.
The ceremony also commemorated the 65th anniversary of Big Run VFW Post 9044 and honored its four living charter members, Richard Ellenberger, Sherman Hollopeter, Robert Kerr and Eugene North.
The speaker for the evening was Jeff Soliday, who also spoke at the two organizations' recognition of POW/MIA Day earlier this year, which doubled as a commemoration of his late father, Jim Soliday.
While not himself a veteran, he grew up as a Navy dependent and was able to speak as someone who observed veterans throughout his life and continued to honor them throughout his adulthood, including
during his career at WPXZ, where he would close every show with a short speech honoring POW/MIAs.
He is currently employed by the U.S. Secret Service.
He spoke on the importance of Veterans' Day and of honoring those who have served.
"The actual definition of a veteran is 'a person who has served in a military force, especially one who has fought in a war,'" Soliday said.
"That just doesn't seem to describe our veterans properly to me. Many believe that we are defined by our actions or by what we do. I would add that we are better defined by what we are willing to do, even more than by what we have actually done.
"My sister gave me this definition, and I think it covers our veterans pretty well — whether active duty, retired, National Guard or reserve, a veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including their life."
Soliday said it was not enough, however, simply to recognize veterans one day each year on the prescribed holiday.
"While I am very glad that this is a national day of recognition for our veterans, to acknowledge them and their sacrifice only once a year is not enough," he said. "As I had mentioned on POW/MIA Day, there are always things that can be done and ways that we can show our thanks and appreciation ... Our veterans have given so much, and they continue to give. It is only right that we try to show true and sincere appreciation for them and for what they do. If less than 2 percent of our people can provide security, democracy and freedom to the rest of us, there is simply no excuse for the other 98 percent not to be able to give something back in return."
VFW Post 9044 Adjutant Bob Lott then added to Soliday's speech, recalling back to when he was a child and hearing of the death of the last Civil War veteran in the 1950s.
He also remembered being surrounded by World War I veterans and never really speaking to them, a fact that struck home for him when he heard of the death of the last one in the last several years.
He implored the younger members of the audience — and the older ones as well — to speak to the veterans that remain, from World War II and upward, and hear their stories while there is still time.
The winners of VFW's youth essay contests were also announced during the ceremony.
The first contest, Patriot's Pen, which is for grades 6-8 and involves a 300-400 word essay on a varying subject — this year's was "What would you say to the founding fathers?" — was won by Maggie Prutzal of Scotland Avenue, Punxsutawney, who was not present that evening.
The second contest, Voice of Democracy, is for students in grades 9-12. In addition to an essay, it also requires entrants to record what they have written so as to be judged on presentation as well. This year's subject was "Is the Constitution still relevant?" The winner was Alexis Young. The runner-up was Keaton Mohney.
Both winners will have the opportunity to go on to compete in district, state and national competitions.
The night also featured music from singers Rich Keller, Ken Felgar and Barb Keller and harmonica player Arlene Marie. The Big Run Scouts and members of the Jefferson County Honor Guard presented and retired the colors. Cindy Chambers sang the national anthem. Post Chaplain Gene McKee delivered the invocation and benediction.
The night closed out with a moment of silence for deceased service members and Gold Star parents, followed by the laying of the wreath, the eleven bells ceremony and the playing of Taps.

By Ewan Roberts
It may only have been a friendly, but England's 2-1 victory over World Cup 2014 hosts Brazil – just their fourth win in 24 attempts – hinted at a coming of age for the Three Lions.
England thoroughly deserved the win, with most of the team performing well, though there were a few hairy moments along the way, particularly in defence.
So who was good and who was bad? Goal.com examines the winners and losers of Wednesday night's action and how their performances will have affected their standing in Roy Hodgson's thinking…
JACK WILSHERE: England's win over Brazil was a victory for technique as much as the usual reserves of endeavour and heart, and the primary contributor to the Three Lions' more patient, cultured style was Wilshere. The Arsenal midfielder was the best player on the pitch, leaving even the much-hyped Neymar drowning in his shadow.
The 21-year-old gave a precocious performance, oozing maturity, and conducted proceedings for the home side. He was always showing for the ball, finding space, and had the vision and ability to thread the eye of a needle on countless occasions. International matches are won with the ball, and Wilshere will be key to a more possession-conscious England's hopes at Brazil 2014.
FRANK LAMPARD: Chelsea's 34-year-old midfielder gave a virtuoso cameo off the bench against Brazil and scored the winner with a typically audacious strike from long range. Lampard proved that, despite his advancing years, he still has something to offer England – his experience and composure were vital to the Three Lions holding on to the win with such control – while his partnership with Steven Gerrard even looked pretty good not terrible.
But Lampard, despite his evergreen performance, could just as easily have fallen into the 'Losers' column judging by Roy Hodgson's post-match comments. "I hope Frank stays in Europe," said the England manager, referring to Lampard's yet-to-be-decided future. "If he does follow David [Beckham] it complicates things."
GLEN JOHNSON: One of just a handful of players whose place in the England team is virtually guaranteed now, Johnson gave another fine performance against Brazil. Not so long ago there were hordes of right-backs vying for the spot – with recent competition coming from Kyle Walker and Phil Jones – but the Liverpool right-back has fought off all contenders.
Johnson linked extremely well with Theo Walcott down the right flank, used the ball well and was rarely, if ever, exposed. The 28-year-old found the perfect balance between attack and defence, galloping up the touchline and adventuring into the final third but alert enough to keep Neymar under wraps and even head Paulinho's goal-bound effort off the line.
THEO WALCOTT: The 23-year-old was a constant threat against Brazil and should have ensured his starting berth against San Marino next month. Walcott didn't start a single match under Hodgson during the European Championships, but is quickly becoming one of England's most exhilarating players (having recorded 18 goals and 10 assists for Arsenal this year).
The Gunners attacker reproduced his club form in a Three Lions jersey, and in patches looked to be able to beat Brazil left-back Adriano at will, bursting past him with incredible acceleration. That said, Hodgson will now likely see Walcott as a winger, which reduces his chances of lining up in his preferred position through the middle.
ASHLEY COLE: He may have become only the seventh England player to reach 100 caps for his country, but the 32-year-old still hasn't been accepted, let alone embraced, by Three Lions supporters – both Steven Gerrard and Ronaldinho's milestones drew louder cheers from the Wembley crowd.
Cole looked a weak link in the first half, with much of Brazil's threat coming down his flank. Oscar managed to burst past his Chelsea team-mate just before the break, but Neymar couldn't covert his delicious cross. Leighton Baines' solid performance in the second half, where the Everton full-back bombed forward while also reducing the influence of Oscar, might have earned him a start at Cole's expense.
GARY CAHILL: Undoubtedly the worst of England's performers, the Chelsea centre-back gifted Brazil a goal and exuded a general air of nervousness. In a flurry of errors he first overran the ball, presenting possession to the Selecao and allowing Fred to equalise for the visitors, then he failed to control Joe Hart's (albeit heavy) pass before the Fluminense forward fired against the crossbar.
Cahill was outshone both on the ball and off it by the more inexperienced Chris Smalling, while the likes of Tottenham's Michael Dawson and Stoke's Ryan Shawcross may have spent the evening watching the match from the comfort of their own sofa, but they could well have entered Hodgson's thought process after Cahill's suspect performance. As could a certain Rio Ferdinand…
DANNY WELBECK: One position very much up for grabs in Hodgson's team is the left wing – oh for Gareth Bale to have been born in England! Welbeck, a striker by trade, lined up on the flank but struggled to make an impact on the match – understandably, given that he was facing off against the brilliant Dani Alves.
The Manchester United forward was peripheral throughout and easily tamed, while the one chance that fell his way was wastefully spooned high and wide. Welbeck is clearly not the answer to England's left-wing dilemma, and his abject performance will have opened the door for Ashley Young, James Milner – who gave a more effective, all-action display after replacing Welbeck – and perhaps even Tom Ince.

This is a 1:1 replica of the Golden disc mounted to the Voyager Spacecraft that was launched decades ago and has left our solar system only a short period of time ago. This disk has been brought to life again by Artifactory Replicas.
This disk has found its ways into the clutches of the Predacons and ironically was returned to Earth in the distant past only to meet with destruction at the hands of Dinobot. This 1:1 scale replica can be purchased at site sponsor BBTS for $150.
The official product description reads as follows
Artifactory wrote:The Voyager 1 and 2 missions featured some of the most ambitious unmanned spacecraft ever launched. As part of this program, each probe carried a golden disc similar to the long playing phonograph records of the time. Pressed onto each disc were sounds and images from Earth.
The contents were chosen for NASA by a committee chaired by Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University. A cover plate for the "golden record" was designed to protect against micrometeorite bombardment in deep space. A diagram engraved in the plate gives the eventual finder of the disc the key to playing the record.
Artifactory brings you an exact replica of the record cover and its famous interstellar welcome signs. Our replica is machined from metal alloy sheet and features all of the correct engraved markings. A detailed document accompanies each replica, explaining the meaning of all the markings. Each replica disc comes permanently attached to an attractive wall display plaque.
Diameter: 12-1/8"

Hawks hire Jim Thomas as an assistant coachPosted by Inside Hoops
Aug 2
The Atlanta Hawks have named Jim Thomas as an assistant coach, Hawks Head Coach Mike Budenholzer announced today.
Most recently a college scout for the Oklahoma City Thunder for the last four years, Thomas was previously with the New York Knicks (scout, 2005-07), Indiana University (assistant coach, 2001-04), and Toronto Raptors as an assistant coach (1996-99) and scout (1994-96).
"We're pleased to add Jim to our coaching staff," Budenholzer said. "He's been a part of a number of successful programs, and his coaching and playing experience will blend well with our group."
Selected in the second round (40th overall) of the 1983 NBA Draft by the Pacers, the 52-year-old Thomas appeared in 161 games over four seasons with Indiana, the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota, averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.9 minutes (.471 FG%, .763 FT%). He also spent time playing in the Continental Basketball Association, World Basketball League and with Baloncesto Murcia in Spain.
Thomas played collegiately at Indiana from 1979-83, where he was the starting shooting guard on the Hoosiers' 1981 National Championship team. He was also a 10th round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 1983 NFL Draft as a defensive back. He grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

KEVIN BRADY: 'The good, the bad, and the ugly' employment report
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, reacted to Friday's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that the economy added 175,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, 178,000 thousand private sector jobs, and that the unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent during May.
"Today's report again confirms that we need to take the chains off of the private economy. Government policies are stifling growth and job creation in the private sector," Brady noted.
Brady went on to describe the employment report as "the good, the bad, and the ugly."
"The good news is that for the 39th consecutive month the economy added private sector jobs. The bad news is that this recovery has produced four million fewer private sector jobs than the average of other post-World War II recovery," Brady said.
According to Brady, "The really ugly news in this report is that a smaller percentage of adult Americans are working today than when the recession ended four years ago. That's not consistent with a real recovery."
"The fact that the unemployment rate rose 0.1 percent to 7.6 percent is disappointing and far exceeds the 5.1 percent rate that the American people were told the stimulus bill of 2009 would deliver. And the decline from the high of 10.0 percent is largely a mirage driven by a labor force participation rate that has fallen to levels last seen in the late 1970s. Without that decline, we would be facing an unemployment rate close to 11 percent."
