Discussions of issues affecting Calgary's heritage sites
Moderator: newsposter
York Hotel
636 Centre Street SE
1929 – 1930
After its official opening by Mayor Davidson, this Edwardian commercial building with Art Deco style motifs was touted as Calgary's best medium priced hotel. The mezzanine floor was home to CFCN's Broadcasting Studio, a Ladies' Lounge and a boardroom. Additional facilities included a beer parlour, stores and the main office in the 7 Ave. annex. The former site of the Calgary Stampeders' Ticket Office, the York Hotel has survived several fires (1970, 1990, 2005) and was converted into housing in 1993.
Calgary (Royal Canadian) Legion Hall #1
116 – 7 Avenue SE
In 1915, returning soldiers world-wide formed the Great War Veterans' Association (GWVA). The Calgary branch gained notoriety in Calgary by declaring the "Calgary Resolution", a grant scheme for veterans – later endorsed nation-wide to develop a system of bonus payments; limited only by the country's ability to pay. The GWVA, changed in the mid-1920s to the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, continued to fight for veterans' rights. Plans were developed for a Memorial Hall and on September 9, 1919 HRH Edward, Prince of Wales (later King of England, and later still Duke of Windsor) turned the first sod for the Calgary Legion Hall. But it was not until 1922, with the support of provincial and municipal governments, and a public subscription, that
the $90,000 structure was completed.
Grunwald (St. Regis) Hotel
124 – 7 Avenue SW
When the St. Regis Hotel opened on October 22, 1913, it was known as the Grunwald Hotel. Touted as a "first-class European-style hotel", it was built to accommodate the better-heeled of the westward-bound masses. The St. Regis is one of a small number of edifices in Calgary to feature terracotta tile. The Grunwald, named for the manager, Carl Grunwald, was changed when owner, A.C. Johnstone, took over the management of the establishment in 1917. The name change was likely a response to the anti-German sentiment of the time.
Calgary Firehall #1
140 – 6 Avenue SE
In 1885 the Calgary Fire Brigade was formed. 1897 marked the appointment of James "Cappy" Smart as the chief and first full-time paid employee of the Calgary Fire Department. A legend in his own time,
Cappy Smart was credited by many in the North-West with being one of the two forces – the other being the arrival of the CPR – that transformed Calgary into a modern city. Smart led the call for a more appropriate hall,
and this 1911 red brick building is the result. Classical in styling, the firehall has a central pediment, a side tower with a bell and copper cupola, and arched fire truck doors.
North-West Travelers Building
515 – 1 Street SE
This building was originally built to house commercial travellers offices, sample rooms and the Commercial Club. Additional tenants included both Federal and Provincial Departments. By 1926 the major tenant was the Calgary School Board's Commercial High School and the Calgary Public Museum. Then for two years, 1943-1945, the YWCA's Service Women's Centre occupied the facilities and in 1945 the building was converted to a residential hotel, the Hotel Bliss. By 1948 it was a Salvation Army Social Service Centre. Recent restorations have allowed for a variety of commercial tenants.

TomVH: Camp List
Michigan's camp starts today and run's to the 23rd. I'm obviously not there, but here's who has told me they will be there at least one of the day. There is going to be a ton of kids at this camp, since it's back to being big and open to everyone.
- RB Juwan Lewis (5'11", 208 lbs) 3 star from Muskegon
- QB Austin Appleby (6'5", 228 lbs) 3 star from Ohio. Hoping to earn an offer.
- OL Steven Elmer (6'6", 297 lbs) 2013 prospect from Midland, MI. Just received his Michigan offer today, they're on campus. Already has Michigan State, Mississippi State, and Wisconsin.
- QB Brian Blackburn (6'5", 197 lbs) from Detroit might be there.
- DT Danny O'Brien (6'2", 293 lbs) 4 star from Flint. This camp could help him and Michigan get back on the same page. He'll be there Monday or Tuesday.
- OL Daron Brown (6'5", 312 lbs) from Detroit. Just received an offer from Akron to go with Buffalo.
- RB Alden Hill (6'2", 220 lbs) 3 star from Ohio. Hoping for a Michigan offer.
- OL David Dawson (6'5", 305 lbs) 2013 kid from Cass Tech. I'd imagine there will be more Cass kids like Kenton Gibbs, who will be there 20th and 21st, coming with him.
- DT Vontrell Williams (6'2", 265 lbs) 3 star from Illinois. Trying to earn an offer. The 21st is when he'll be there.
- Maybe: Michigan commit Anthony Standifer and his 2013 teammate WR Laquon Treadwell.
- QB Robert Gregory (6'3", 181 lbs) 3 star, teammates with Jordan Diamond is supposed to be there.
- DB Cameron Burrows (6'1", 175 lbs) 2013 prospect from Trotwood, Ohio. He isn't sure if he's coming or not yet.
- DE Matt Miller (6'4", 240 lbs) 2013 prospect. He's '11 signee Jack Miller's younger brother. I confirmed with Jack that Matt will be there. He said the coaches are interested in Matt and they're excited to see him at camp.
- RB/FB Wyatt Shallman (6'3", 245 lbs) 2013 instate prospect will probably be up on Monday to hang out. He won't be participating.
This is just a small list of notable people I've confirmed. I'll post them as I hear of more.

For the first in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL), a player from the Mono Vampire Basketball Club is receives the Player of the Week honors.
Anthony McClain had a monster performance as they hosted and defeated the Pilipinas MX3 Kings, 76-74. The big man finished with 26 points on an outstanding 11 of 15 shooting from the field. He also added 17 rebounds, an assists and 3 blocks for an all-around performance.
It was the second win for the young ABL franchise as they now stand at 2-7, just outside of the top four.
In the same, Arizona Reid went off for the Kings with 26 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and a block but he committed 7 turnovers in the contest as Pilipinas MX3 continued their free-fall.
The honorable mentions for Week 7 are led by Singapore's Xavier Alexander who finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks as the Slingers escaped with a 62-60 win over the Heat. Saigon leaned on the effort of Lenny Daniel who had 20 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and 3 blocks although he struggled from the field, going only 6 of 16.
There were also many heroes for the Westports Malaysia Dragons as they dealt Hi-Tech Bangkok City their second loss.
Matt Wright scored 25 points and added 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal while Reggie Johnson muscled his way to 21 points, 13 rebounds, an assist and a steal.
Chris Charles tried to carry the fight for the former league-leaders but his 22 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks were not enough.

He can be reached at 217-244-7481 or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Melissa H. Cragin is a doctoral student in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, 501 E. Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820. She can be reached at 217-244-0866, or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
As with the rest of science, biodiversity and neuroscience are becoming increasingly technological and data-rich. At the same time biodiversity studies retain many traditional tools and materials, while in neuroscience new tools are frequently developed. Information science can help both fields develop tools that exploit modern technologies to increase data-gathering efficiency, to improve quality control and, where necessary, to integrate historical and modern methods and materials. We will present overviews of biodiversity and neuroscience separately and conclude by summarizing how information science can help both fields address similar issues.
A valuable perspective on biodiversity studies can be gained from considering the Lewis and Clark Expedition, whose bicentennial the United States will celebrate in 2004. Like explorers before and after them, they and their Corps of Discovery were charged not only with exploring and mapping the land they crossed, but also with documenting the plants, animals, minerals and indigenous peoples they encountered (Ambrose, 1996). They collected numerous specimens and artifacts that they removed from the region of origin and sent to institutions and individuals in the developed world, in this case the northeastern United States. Most of the plant specimens, for example, are at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia (www.acnatsci.org/museum/lewisclark/l&c_herbarium.html). There, experts studied the specimens and described new species, often over a span of many years. Unlike most other 19th century explorers Lewis and Clark kept extensive notes that still survive, so it is possible to know fairly precisely where the specimens came from, their ecological setting and other relevant information. More typical are notes like those of mid-19th century explorer Charles Wright, many of whose specimens, distributed to museums in the eastern United States and Europe, are accompanied only by notes giving the month and year he collected and the location as western Texas.
Collecting practices like these continued well into the 20th century, persisting longest in tropical areas. In well-explored areas, collectors were able to give precise locations, but in tropical areas they may only have known the river they were along and how many hours of paddling it took to get there from a distant village. Ecological information with the specimens tended to be idiosyncratic, with some scientists providing good descriptions of vegetation, soil and other relevant conditions, whereas others provided little or no data. Beginning in the 19th century, the most significant change was the elimination of the amateur collector. Instead, predominant practice throughout the 20th century has been for professional scientists to serve both as field collectors and museum experts. Museums worldwide now hold an estimated two to three billion biodiversity specimens, about 75% in the industrialized countries, and the number continues to grow (www.gbif.org/GBIF_org/facility/BIrepfin.pdf).
There are standard practices for treating and preserving new specimens. Plants generally are flattened, dried and glued to reinforcing archival paper. Vertebrate animals may be preserved whole in alcohol or represented only by their skins, bones or shells. Invertebrates like insects are pinned, preserved in alcohol or mounted on microscope slides. In all cases specimens are accompanied by a label or tag with information about the collector, collection location and date and sometimes by additional information about the habitat or characteristics of the organism. Although the analogy is not perfect, scientists often liken scientific collections to libraries, although books can be reproduced whereas each specimen is unique. Techniques for managing specimen data and book cataloging information are similar; historically specimen data often were maintained in paper catalogues, whereas these data now are being placed in databases, often with Web access (see other articles in this issue).
In recent years the nature of biodiversity specimens has changed, particularly as a result of the application of molecular biological techniques to biodiversity research. Standard specimens now often are accompanied by specimens preserved in ways that protect the organisms DNA, such as freezing, special chemical treatment or rapid desiccation. The DNA itself may be isolated and preserved (usually frozen), and portions may be sequenced and the data deposited in a central database (e.g., GenBank, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html). Fungi, protozoans and bacteria frequently are maintained as living cultures, and other living collections like zoos and botanical gardens are sometimes managing their collections as consisting of biodiversity specimens. Frequently a single individual may be represented by several specimens, e.g., a typical museum specimen, frozen tissue and several sequenced DNA regions, necessitating record keeping that retains the connection among the specimens and the associated data, often all in different locations.
Even more significant are changes in the types of data being gathered. In the past, the focus was principally on gathering representative specimens, whereas now the focus often is on the whole ecosystem. Inventories are receiving renewed attention, but they are increasingly quantitative and are often driven by societal needs, such as ecological classification for land use decision-making (including rapid assessments for conservation) and ecosystem health monitoring. Because taking specimens is costly in terms of time, material and storage space and generally requires destructive sampling, there has been an increase in the use of observational data only. Without specimens that can be used to verify identifications, obvious quality assurance issues arise.
There has also been a resurgence in data gathering by trained amateur "citizen scientists" as the demand for inventories outstrips the number of professional scientists available (see, for example, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources EcoWatch Program; dnr.state.il.us/orep/ecowatch/index.htm). A particularly ambitious example of enlisting amateurs is eBird (www.ebird.org), which aims to utilize the popularity of bird watching to compile an extensive bird census database for North America. Quality assurance needs that arise with such data can be addressed in various ways. Developing methods for delivering identification tools to the field, possibly augmented by real-time connections with professional scientists in the laboratory, can improve quality assurance. Integration of quality control tools directly into the data gathering process offers still further improvement. For example, eBird responds with specific identification queries when rare, difficult-to-identify or out-of-range species are entered into the database. Field data entry using handheld computers linked through satellites to remote databases could further increase data gathering efficiency for both amateurs and professionals and could even be used to generate labels for specimens as they are collected.
In addition to using observational data on organisms, biodiversity studies are increasingly integrating other forms of data. Locations are now being determined using the Global Positioning System (GPS), providing high precision and accuracy. This facilitates integration with remote sensing, mapping and other spatial data through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Increasingly, quantitative environmental data are also being collected. The United States Longterm Ecological Research (LTER) Network (lternet.edu), which includes 24 sites in different ecosystems, has been collecting such data for about 20 years. These efforts would expand tremendously with the proposed U.S. National Science Foundation National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). It is estimated that the NEON, when completed, would generate more than 20 million observations daily (www.sdsc.edu/NEON). The demand for efficient data gathering and management will necessitate the participation of information scientists in the planning and execution of the NEON and similar efforts worldwide.
The history of biodiversity data gathering thus shows a significant shift in practice. What was once the work of individuals or small groups working largely in isolation has grown to involve multidisciplinary collaborative projects involving large numbers of people and volumes of data. Field sites are becoming increasingly connected to each other and to scientific institutions worldwide through modern telecommunication links.
Such significant shifts in scientific practice are equally visible in neuroscience. The application of networking and computational techniques is leading to new forms of collaboration and amalgamation of data. A hundred years ago, data were collected from medical patients and published in the form of case studies. Other data were collected using cadavers brains or through in vitro animal experiments in which researchers would introduce brain lesions and record the results. (Star, 1989. Regions of the Mind: Brain research and the quest for scientific certainty. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press) Data content included notations on symptoms, treatment information and post-treatment functionality, while data consisted of text and graphics.
Data gathered on the brain during the last several decades has shown significant change, mainly because of changing tools and techniques. Microscopes and electrophysiology systems were improved and refined. The former allow collection of greater amounts of anatomical data for smaller and increasingly specific parts of the brain. The latter allow electrophysiologists to record multiple trials of electronic firings of neuron cells in response to some stimuli, rendering numeric time-series data. Together with scientific developments, these technological innovations have reinvigorated neuroscience, and this is evident in the vast amount of published research. In 1997, the Journal of Neuroscience literally doubled its production rate, expanding to two issues per month; in 2001, ISI included 198 titles in its neurosciences journal group; and in 2002-2003, at least two new journals specific to neuroinformatics began publication.
This indication of growth has not been limited to publishing, but is apparent in frequent modification of methods and the increase in the amount of data resulting from the ability to observe and analyze smaller and smaller parts of the nervous system. Work in genetics moved the field toward molecular biology, and electrophysiology and scanning techniques have improved several fold. Neuroscience is a large and diverse field, and there is great variability in research incorporating anatomy, neurophysiology, molecular biology, chemistry and computational modeling. Neuroscience data are gathered in several forms, including numeric, textual, image, graphic and time series. Behavioral and cognitive constructs studied include attention, memory, learning, perception, emotion and language. Research on brain function produces data collected across a number of dimensions, including
It is understandable that neuroscience investigations often produce large sets of data, but it is easy to overlook the fact that only part of such results may ever be analyzed and reported in a paper. Historically, this data has been collected and stored locally, and there was no tradition of depositing data for future or external use. There is little value in legacy data, which results in years of neuroscience data being disregarded or even lost over time. It should be noted that there is also undeposited data in the biodiversity field; there are many collections orphaned as scientists retire. The need for strategies to archive and preserve data is an opportunity for LIS practitioners to engage with scientists to find solutions. It will be particularly important to develop guidelines about what data is important to save, as there is no consensus about this approach (Chicurel, 2000). Research results and new claims continue to be published in traditional ways, and there is growing concern about the loss of biological data going forward (Valencia, 2002).
The emergence of neuroinformatics in the 1990s has created new possibilities for discovery, but with this there has also been a shift in the public focus, funding and expectations of scientists, and there has been concomitant increase and modification of data collection. The Human Brain Project (HBP) (www.nimh.nih.gov/neuroinformatics/index.cfm) in the United States was started in 1993, following the report of the Institute of Medicine on the need for a coherent agenda for brain research (Pachura and Martin, 1991). From the outset, one of the goals of HBP has been to combine informatics research with neuroscience research. As noted above, biologists studying biodiversity are recognizing the benefits of bringing different and disparate data together; this is beginning in neuroscience. Today HBP supports research projects to federate data queries, refine viewing of cell structures and develop imaging databases that will support meta-analysis and other future use. All of these projects work to bring raw data and supporting materials (such as annotations) together. Other studies have focused on developing systems that store and link textual and image data or computational modeling with neuronal data.

The idea of sharing or making public ones data is central to biodiversity informatics and neuroinformatics, and this conflicts with traditional scientific practices. Scientists have voiced a variety of concerns about sharing data; two are widely recognized. Scientists and human subjects (patients or tissue donors), corporations and political entities all need to be assured of the reliability and security of data being deposited in databases and repositories. Neuroinformatics projects that serve as databanks or repositories implement a variety of procedures to improve data quality. The most common tactic is to only accept data from studies that have gone through a peer-review process of a submission to a journal. Another approach is required submission of a set of augmentative information about the experiment or data so that others can judge its value with respect to later use. This information might include, for example, settings on an imaging scanner and the paradigm used for the experimental design. There is some debate among biologists and other researchers about what parts of this material constitute metadata. However, gleaning and managing the significant information related to shared data is important and necessary for both biodiversity and neuroscience.
Although biodiversity studies and neuroscience differ significantly in scope and focus, both will depend on information science to provide needed expertise if they are to effectively address scientific and societal needs. People doing many different types of work utilize biological specimens. This variety is not so much the case in neuroscience. For obvious reasons amateur citizen scientists are not involved in neuroscience. Yet even though the heterogeneity of biodiversity data is qualitatively different from neuroscience data, there are many ways that these fields would similarly benefit from the traditional knowledge of library and information science. Information science researchers and practitioners can bring expertise in data visualization and retrieval techniques, records management, quality assurance and usability.

Maximum Rock 'N' Roll
Maximum Rock'N'Roll is one of the most widely distributed zines in the world. It's a monthly fanzine dedicated to supporting and reporting on the underground punk rock scene.
Maximum Rock'N'Roll began as a radio show in 1977 on San Francisco's public radio station KPFA. It was a punk rock show hosted by DJs Tim Yohannan and Jeff Bale. Besides playing music, Yohannan and Bale invited punk musicians and fans into the studio, regulars on the show included Ruth Schwartz (owner of Mordam distribution) and Jello Biafra (of the Dead Kennedys).
Maximum Rock'N'Roll zine first appeared in 1982 as the newsprint booklet included in the "Not So Quiet on the Western Front" compilation LP, released on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles. The format of MRR was modeled to some extent after Tim Tonooka's Ripper zine. The zine included band interviews, columns, reviews, and scene reports from around the U.S. With Yohannan at the helm as editor/zine coordinator, MRR blossomed into a thick monthly newsprint zine with wide distribution (due in no small part because of it's distribution through Mordam, which Yohannan and MRR supported in early its years). Throughout the 1980s and until the internet took off in the 1990s, MRR was the essential networking, gossip, and news zine for punk musicians, fans, zine publishers, bookers, promoters, and independent labels. As publisher, Yohannan espoused DIY ethics and radical politics and used the zine to promote not only underground music, but his personal philosophy.
Yohannan died of cancer in 1998. Jen Angel (Clamor and Fucktooth) was trained as coordinator by Yohannan while he was ill. Angel left the magazine right before Yohannon died in April of 1998, with Jacqueline Prichard and Mark Murrmann (Sty Zine) taking over as co-coordinators. Through the years that followed, a number of different people served as zine coordinator, including: Arwen Curry (Ration), Sean Sullivan, Andrew Scott, Mike Thorn, Paul Curran, Golnar Nikpour, and Chris Hubbard.
Today MRR has published over 300 issues. While not "the punk bible" it once was (the punk community now has countless zines and Web resources), MRR is still one of the foremost zines in the punk scene and still features a wealth of punk band interviews, articles, news, music and zine reviews, columns, and scene reports each month. Long-time contributor Jeff Bale, whose right-wing political turn was at odds with the long-time politics of the magazine, latered started Hit List.
Current columnists include Mykel Board, Slug & Lettuce editor Chris Boarts, musician George Tabb, Mattilda aka Matt Bernstein Sycamore, Al Quint (Suburban Voice), Arwen Curry, Bill Florio, Lefty Hooligan, Ted Rall, Golnar Nikpour, Bruce Roehrs, and hardcore singer Felix Von Havoc.

I like art and type that looks handsketched/handwritten (but please no clipart of templates, blueprints, design tools, etc.)
No pastels please! Prefer to stay with 2-color b/c of cost but would consider more color for the perfect design.
Don't like type that's too small to read.
Not too feminine looking.

I am kind of unbearably excited to unveil the hitherto-unnamed project to which I've been referring for the last few weeks. So here we go:
Eden Marriott Kennedy and I are proud to announce our new website, LET'S PANIC ABOUT BABIES!
LET'S PANIC ABOUT BABIES! is meant to be a helpful and soothing companion during your child-bearing and –raising years. In this comprehensive and frighteningly detailed site, we answer such questions as, should I avoid cats? (Answer: more than you know.) Or how did this baby get in me? (Science has yet to find an answer to this mystery.) Or why does my baby's head smell so good? (When no one's looking, babies rub a special balm into their bald little heads: a patented blend of civet musk, tapioca powder, and holy water. )
So. If you want to be comforted by the knowledge that your newborn baby is not the only one who looks like Ernest Borgnine, or if you're wondering why a t-shirt is the most tasteful way to tell the world you're expecting, look no further!
Please note: LET'S PANIC ABOUT BABIES! is not just for people who are about to give birth, are currently giving birth, or have recently given birth. I have been told that the site is an important source of information even if you never intend to have a baby or, indeed, if you hate the very sight of them. So please, go there. Read. Continue to read, as we will be updating weekly. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we cracked ourselves up writing it.
[final update: after some server troubles, all is now well. The End.]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Lipscomb Men's tennis team lost a close match Sunday when they fell 4-3 to Samford at the Samford Tennis Center in Birmingham.
""First of all, the credit goes to Samford for the way they finished the match," said Lipscomb head coach Andrew Harris. "This was a dog fight and I think our guys competed with the passion and energy to win this type of match next time.
"What you are hoping for is that our players will use this as a spring board to the next match at UTC. Most importantly we got better this weekend and seeing the gradual improvement will be critical over the next few matches."
Samford edged an early lead on the Bison with a 2-1 win in doubles play, leaving the Bison deficit right out of the gate.
Junior Oliver Strecker and freshman Stuart Tierney came up just short at No. 1 doubles when they fell to Zac Dunkle and Alexander Sajonz 8-6.
At No. 2, sophomore Miguel Cortez and junior Tanner Brown were defeated by Ryan Shidler and Elliot Barnwell, falling 8-3.
Junior Colby Shaw and sophomore David Salazar teamed up to post the Bison's only doubles win at No. 3, where they took down Carson Kadi and Fernando Costa 8-5.
The Bison went on to win half of their singles matches, posting three wins but coming up just short of the Bulldogs' four points.
Strecker picked up a win at No. 1, defeating Kadi 6-1, 7-5, the Bison's only two-set win.
At No. 5 and No. 6, freshman Daniel Hernandez and Cortez took down their opponents in three-set matches, winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 and 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 respectively.
Salazar was defeated at the No. 2 spot by Dunkle 6-3, 7-5, while Brown fell at No. 3 to Barnwell 6-4, 7-6 (2). Shaw lost at No. 4 to Costa 6-2, 6-4.
The Bison continue action on Feb. 4 against Chattanooga at the UTC Tennis Center at 1 p.m.

Royals Birthdays – November 18
1975 – Shawn Camp (Pitcher – 2004-05)
1967 – Tom Gordon (Pitcher – 1988-95)
1958 – Cliff Pastornicky (Infielder – 1983)
1955 – Luis Pujols (Catcher – 1984)
Happy Birthday!
Did You Know: If you are a long-time Royals fan you might remember Cliff Pastornicky for his brief big league career back in 1983. He was called up to Kansas City and played third base for 10 games during one of George Brett's intermittent stints on the disabled list. I remember he had two HRs during those ten games including a three-run shot to give the Royals a 4-2 win on a Sunday afternoon (June 19, 1983) here at Royals Stadium.
But Pastornicky was more than a short-time Royals player, later serving the organization as a scout for many years. His work especially shined through this past year as he was the official signing scout for both the 2009 Royals Player of the Year – Billy Butler and the 2009 American League Cy Young Award Winner – Zack Greinke.
That's a pretty good contribution to the club – Happy Birthday Cliff!

1. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 6:15 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Got cut off:
I wonder if it's because I have the button swap out onmouseover? I tried the script with both button names (the normal state name as well as mouseover state name, but it didn't help).
I would greatly appreciate any help; I am SO close to actually completing this thing! :)
2. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 6:18 AM (in response to eddiwill9)change your publish settings (file/publish settings/flash) to actionscript 3.
3. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 6:27 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Wow! That was fast! Thank you so much-- it fixed it!
BUT, I now have a new error (of course!):
WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript 2.0.
I am guessing this is the movie that I have in place that should play when it goes to that frame. Is there an easy way around this?
Sorry for what must be very basic questions-- been awhile since I've been such a newb!
4. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 6:31 AM (in response to eddiwill9)when you had your publish settings set at as2, you added an flvplayback component. delete that from your library. while your publish settings are set at as3, add an flvplayback component. retest.
(while the two components look the same, they are not. as2 components will not work in as3. flash changes your component library when you change your publish settings so you can't pick the wrong component version (unless you change your publish settings).
5. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 6:32 AM (in response to eddiwill9)kglad,
I can not thank you enough. I haven't had to learn something from the ground up in years and help from folks like you is invaluable.
I will give it a shot now.
7. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 6:38 AM (in response to eddiwill9)So close.....
Switching to the as3 component killed that error message, but still having trouble with my original script (the button).
Now it says:
Description: 1120: Access of undefined property intro_butjpg.
8. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 6:40 AM (in response to eddiwill9)there's some other code causing that problem. copy and paste it using the attach code option.
9. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 6:49 AM (in response to kglad)Here it is. Not sure I did that correctly (attaching)
10. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 7:02 AM (in response to eddiwill9)I think I figured it out.. I had not named the instance of the button (I feel like I have to name things 3 or 4 times in 3 or 4 places-- haven't gotten the hang of it quite yet!).
Now the movie tests with no errors, but it doesn't appear to do what I have asked it to do, namely go to the frames labeled "intro" and play the movie I have there.
I'll keep messing with it and see if I can post the correct question for that problem.
11. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 7:05 AM (in response to eddiwill9)"intro" needs to be the label of a frame in the timeline that contains that code. and it's best to use the goto methods, NOT the goto functions:
12. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 7:30 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Thanks again, but I must be more dense than usual this a.m.
Based on what I saw in the Lynda.com stuff (sorry-- all I have to go on at this point), I made a layer just to contain scripts and called it "Actions."
I have another layer called "movies" where I have 5 sections of frames (instead of frame numbers) labeled for each of the short clips I want to play. I have 5 buttons to click to get to the movies. I was just going to get this first button to work, (intro_butjpg, which should jump to the section of frames called "intro") and then copy and paste--and change accordingly-- for the other 4 buttons.
I am not sure where your new script should go.
13. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 7:34 AM (in response to eddiwill9)that script is almost the same as yours. it would replace your script.
use the trace() function to debug your code. place a trace() funciton on onIntroClick to make sure you function is being called. place a trace() on your "intro" frame.
14. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 7:46 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Yes! That works great! I am still so new that I don't really understand WHY it works-- that's going to take some time and experience--and help, of course!
I have also learned that if I have a stop action in the timeline BEFORE this script, this second script doesn't work. I guess stop really means "stop!" But moving it to a point at the same time as the stop action seems to be fine. Is that the best way to do it? I basically had the playback stop right after the buttons and all of the other graphics come on stage and just "wait" for the user to select a button.
15. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 7:49 AM (in response to eddiwill9)stop() stops your timeline from advancing, but does not stop code from executing. however, if you used "stop" instead of "stop()", the flash compiler may have thrown an error and refused to execute any code.
16. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 8:01 AM (in response to eddiwill9)That's odd. If I have "stop()" even one frame prior to the script for my button, it won't execute. I don't get a message or anything, but the playhead doesn't jump. If I move my button script to the same frame, or a prior frame, all works fine.
I'll just keep them together for the time being, since that works.
I've taken up more than my share of your time today and don't want to wear out my welcome!
17. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 8:16 AM (in response to eddiwill9)if the timeline does not enter a frame that has code attached, the code will not execute. so, having stop() in a frame the plays prior to a frame that contains code will prevent the code from executing. having a stop() in the same frame as code, does not stop that code from executing.
18. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 8:36 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Didn't think I would be back again so soon! Now that my nav button works, I have begun duplicating it. The only problem is, once you paly one movie and move to another, the first movie continues at the same time. I guess I need something to tell any previous movie to stop, while allowing the current selection to play.
19. Re: Why error message?eddiwill9 Nov 13, 2007 8:45 AM (in response to eddiwill9)I found this bit of code "not_set_yet.stop", which looks like it wants me to enter a particular video to stop. I need something that stops whichever of the 5 that may be playing.
20. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 11:00 AM (in response to eddiwill9)that "bit of code" means nothing in actionscript.
21. Re: Why error message?EddieWilliams Nov 13, 2007 3:55 PM (in response to kglad)Oh well,that's what I get for poking around! :)
Is there a simple fix to globally stop whichever flv is playing so that the newly selected one plays alone?
22. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 3:58 PM (in response to eddiwill9)you should apply the stop() method to the flvplayback instance that's currently playing.
23. Re: Why error message?EddieWilliams Nov 13, 2007 4:11 PM (in response to eddiwill9)I have tried putting the stop in a couple of places; but can't figure out where the stop should go. I was thinking a stop needed to be at the start of each instance, so that whatever is playing when the new instance is selected will stop. Am I looking at it wrong?
24. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 13, 2007 6:04 PM (in response to eddiwill9)do you have more than one flvplayback instance?
25. Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 6:03 AM (in response to kglad)Yes-- I am now thinking that I should have only 1 instance, and just have it load different content at different keyframes, yes?
Edit: I have now changed it to only one instance of the FLVPlayback-- that does seem like the smarter way, but it still doesn't stop a selection from playing when you go to another.
26. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 14, 2007 7:21 AM (in response to eddiwill9)are you applying the stop() method to your flvplayback instance just prior to all your start() methods?
27. Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 7:37 AM (in response to eddiwill9)I have the stop()method starting each as for each button click, :
function onTeachingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
teaching_nav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTeachingClick);
but no as at all on the actual component instance itself. If I placed a stop() there, will it play anything at all?
I just placed a stop() at the beginning of one of the instances-- it didn't do anything. My error, I 'm sure!
28. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 14, 2007 7:50 AM (in response to eddiwill9)no, that's not going to work.
show the code you use to start your flvplayback instance playing a flv.
29. Re: Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 8:16 AM (in response to eddiwill9)That's the only code I have (duplicated per each button/flv), sending it to the labeled area on each button click. Then I just use the component parameters to select which flv should be playing for that particular instance of the flvplayback.
30. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 14, 2007 8:36 AM (in response to eddiwill9)then you have different flvplayback instances and you can't use actionscript to control them unless you reference their instance names whenever and whereever you want to stop the play of one instance and start the play of another.
31. Re: Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 8:45 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Great; I thought that might be the case.
Is there a way that's fairly easy for a beginner to accomplish this (other than using different flvplayback instances?).
Oh well, learning how NOT to do something is also pretty important! :)
32. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 14, 2007 10:02 AM (in response to eddiwill9)if you're using the flvplayback on your main timeline, from your library drag an flvplayback symbol to the first frame of your main timeline. give it an instance name. add a frame at the end of your main timeline so your flvplayback instance exists in all frame of your main timeline.
now, you can use its _visible property in any frames where you don't want it to be visible and you can use its start() and stop() methods to start and stop playback and you can use its contentPath property to specify the flv to play.
33. Re: Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 10:15 AM (in response to kglad)Thanks-- I'll try that now.
34. Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 10:46 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Testing this out, looks like a great solution!
I see the as for the _visible property, but it won't let me apply to a component.
The SkinAutoHide parameter works OK, unless the user mouses over the player area before they click the button. (I can fix that by setting it off stage in the beginning)
EDIT: I think I understand-- I should apply the as for the _visible property in the timeline. Is that right?
I just need to figure out how that is expressed. I realize I am in way over my head and that I MUST learn the structures of the as. Preferably, without someone breathing down my neck for thi sproject!
35. Re: Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 11:58 AM (in response to kglad)Ugh! I am close to pulling out what little hair I have! This works so well with 2 buttons, but whenever I add a 3rd, it breaks and I get this (in this case for the "mental" button):
1120: Access of undefined property mentalbut.
36. Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 14, 2007 11:59 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Here is the code for all 3 buttons playing the flvs:
var tl:MovieClip = this;
function onIntroClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
intro_butjpg.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onIntroClick);
function onTeachingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
teachbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTeachingClick);
function onMentalClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mentalbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMentalClick);
I don't understand why it works with 1, then with 2, but not with 3.
37. Re: Why error message?Buntu Nov 14, 2007 2:47 PM (in response to eddiwill9)Hi,
Check the frame whether it has a label "mental" and also whether or not the button is being clicked. Put a trace statement in your onMentalClick function; something like trace("mentalbut clicked");
38. Re: Why error message?eddiwil9 Nov 15, 2007 7:08 AM (in response to eddiwill9)Hi Buntu, Thanks for the input. The frames appear to be correctly labeled. As to running the trace statement, as kglad has discovered, I am in WAY over my head, without the proper foundation (which is coming, I hope, by way of a class in a few weeks) and so, I would need to know "exactly" where to place that script to make it work. Being a newb is a real drag...
39. Re: Why error message?kglad Nov 15, 2007 7:33 AM (in response to eddiwill9)flash doesn't think mentalbut is an interactivedisplayobject.
what kind of object is mentalbut? do you use that name somewhere else in your code (eg, as a variable name or a function name)?

I should give it a test then.
Does one activate the dongle first so it has power and
then start pupradio and it finds the dongle?
Or should start the pupradio first and then the dongle
and that kind of activate what is needed?
I feel so dense how these things works.
I got it going in Ms Win but I hate their policies and ways
so would be good to be able to use Puppy Linux.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

after a little digging I managed to find the transmitter info in puppy already and matched the info previously supplied (thankyou!)
I'm running slacko but would assume it's the same in other flavours
look in: /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t - there is a huge list of transmitters and the respective data
good luck

Post subject: Hauppauge USB DVB-T TV for Puppy Linux 528.005
Subject description: Backstep Blues
I have a flash drive with the first release of Puppy Linux 528 and got Wine and some useful progs working. Removed the silly pup logo and unwanted wallpapers, Dillo, games and some programs, added Opera, Firefox, Flash player (etc) and was generally pleased with the result.
Then I tried repeating the DVB-T setup.
Installed linuxtv-DVB-apps-1.1.1.pet but when I ran /usr/local/bin/MAKEDEV-DVB.SH with Console - back came the problem "chown: invalid user root.video".
Therefore I need to learn what that means, how to correct it and how do I directly run .SH files if not opening with Console?
Even though MAKEDEV-DVB.SH hadn't worked, DMESG confirmed as before, the scan command worked and I transferred the resulting .conf files to wherever seemed right in the Xine/Gnome mplayer/XAWTV directories. Xine said "Sorry, no DVB input device found", mplayer wouldn't and XAWTV hiccoughed and exited. I then tried installing VLC and found no way to activate DVB function.
I bet I'm staggering down a well trodden path and among the 392 viewers of this thread (so far), someone surely knows ways to ease this journey to a simple need? (It has to be TV on a flash drive).
Also, beyond fixing the abovementioned FUBARS I'd like to find some program that will clear accumulated CRUD in a similar way as CCleaner does in Windows. Is Bleachbit viable?

Post subject: DVB-T using and recording
Subject description: Getting DVB-T devices to work and recording TV
Just a reply to give references to other DVB-T post. Some years ago I wanted a programme in Puppy like the old kaffeine that could tune into TV stations with the addition that it could record them.
This post shows what I eventually did to get DVB-T working:
Essentially, after many attempts I found a procedure that still works on Puppies and it is 2/3 rds down on the first page. It is similar to one of the procedures above. I originally had similar problems as ides and could not solve them ie MAKEDEV-DVB.SH linking up DVB-T device to be recognised. I gave up on the MAKEDEV-DVB.SH process.
DC joined in with his post and produced a programme that I think works in any Puppy since it is a set of bash scripts. Certainly, I have been using it recently in FATDOG 64 which has vlc in it. It is a set of scripts that allows you to record TV programmes.
NB You need a copy of the channels.conf in the the same directory as the scripts produced by DC. And you may need to modify his script since it allows for 33 channels only. (I changed the 33 to 115 in the script for my situation.)
It is very easy to use and if you want a simple recorder is fine.
If you want a PVR then MythTV is the way to go. You can then stream it to other PCs and it has a front end that is easy to use. My wife quiet happily sets recordings, etc. Setting it up is a little difficult the first time around, but once you get used to it it is fine. Mythdora was the first one of the Mythtvs that was easy enough for me to understand the procedure, although it is a bit old now. Mythbuntu works well and has a up to date kernel although there are some features that need adding such as Poweroff and Reboot buttons.I have, unsuccessfully, tried getting Mythtv to work in Puppy but I am not yet skilled enough to succeed. It needs -devel programmes for compiling that I can't find. There are many dependencies and Barry's PPM on beta 6 of his precise set out to do it automatically and set out to download 146 dependencies but somewhere its installation crashed the icon display and, I suspect, hung about the point where you need to set up mysql. Anyhow, that is a very long term desire.
Hope this is helpful to someone.

Post subject: Hauppauge USB DVB-T TV for Puppy Linux 528.005
Thanks Peterw and others.
I bet someone out there is chuckling at these antics and saying it would be so much simpler if I read some effing manuals
I can remember being influenced by a "Byte" magazine article 20+ years ago called "Is UNIX dead". It never did die and in the form of Linux has its power and appeal but frankly, as I'm not into programming I'm a real Code Toad!
But as problems tend to have patterns, if I hit a snag I look for (understandable) working examples to follow. Before posting my plea I had searched amongst a surprising number of threads relating to DVB-T reception. Puzzled by so much effort repeatedly applied to overcoming inconsistencies to do with distros, drivers, cores and tricky coding - and big programs like VLC detract from the appealing compactness of Puppy.
I like it if an operating system doesn't become like "Topsy" (it just grows) and some TV related programs are relatively massive bloatware for all they do. In Windows XP the AltDVB program I use for TV and satellite reception and recording could fit on a floppy disc and I can save recordings to an USB drive.
It's a great help that Puppy includes drivers. The "Device" is installed and working "correctly". I can achieve a scan and .conf file.
Beyond that point I can't yet find why MAKEDEV-DVB.SH can run in the latest 528 Distro but not the first, its relevance and why programs known to work present so much difficulty for me.
What I do know is that in echoing the international frustration of many others I've become amazed that Digital TV .pets for Europe/US/Asia haven't evolved by now!

First you need to compile kernel so that all about 130 dvb drivers are included. Yeah...newest Precise Puppy didnt have support for my Reddo dual dvb-t and dvb-c tuner stick. But my own kernel had the support.
There are dvb-t, dvb-c and dvb-s tuners as usb and as pci cards and and all of them has their own setups. I mean that you need to check with dmesg what goes wrong if the dvb is not recognized and then start to fix what ever needs fixing.
Next you need to include all needed firmwares. Just go through those 130 kernel module drivers with modinfo what firmwares they need. Then hunt them from the net. Next try to create firmware.dep so that it notices all those firmwares and loads them....or place them directly to /lib/firmware folder. Yeah...you need to build Puppy for that on your own. So...learn to use woof2 also and start to practise with Puppy building.
Next compile latest VLC so that dvb - dvr - subtitles support has been included. Do the same for xine and gxine. For VLC not the easiest task. Then include those applications which other users would like to use. Next include scripts for timed recording so that people can use VLC with timed recording.
At last place all that in pet....which is called dvb-multimedia puppy
Then start to receive bug reports and start to fix things.
I would say it needs time and dedication. I wish good luck.

Subject description: Reply to Permasu
Kiitos paljon Pemasu - and yes, you well correct me toward understanding why a universal "multimedia Puppy" is a Pup dream
But - given that there are already many drivers within the /lib/firmware folder it's logical to believe they're there because they can be used. If not they'd just bloat the Distro!
Appreciating how marvellously friendly Puppy is to the newcomer and the wide range of .pets available it was natural to seek DVB-T .pets that enable the use of devices these drivers are included for.
(I also have a Compro DVB-S card but that's not portable).
If Puppy were a more formal command level form of Linux it would have no attraction. More than the most basic learning of Linux is not for me.
However, needs make for learning and I've become convinced that some straightforward solution is possible. I hope it's not considered unreasonable for this "noobie" to count upon the assistance of experts in Linux who have overcome similar difficulty?
Meantime, I'll get rid of VLC, see what modinfo and firmware.dep are or do and re-check for errors. (I suspect Woof2 and Puppy building might land me in a puddle)!

Subject description: Gotcha!
"Meantime, I'll get rid of VLC, see what......"
And when I did and restarted - a whole new experience of " Kernel Panic- not syncing: attempted to kill init" resulted!!!
Likely something corrupted the Lupusave.sfs because when substituted with that on any otherwise good working Puppy 528 flash drive the Kernel Panic follows. Now I also want to know why THAT happened and what can be done about it. Hell - at this rate I'll be risking learning about Linux!
I put that cursed flash drive aside, Pupped up another, repeated the DVB-T setup process I've described - AND this time noticed Xine on DVB has a playlist button which when clicked on lists channels beginning with HOME. All I had to do was click on a channel and the arrow below - and after "Buffering" displayed for a few seconds, perfect TV reception resulted. It would appear that a reason for earlier "Sorry, no DVB input device found" was Xine faulting because I had not selected an active channel and not allowed enough time for buffering to complete.
This now being known and reliable TV reception confirmed, I've also found both versions of my Freecom USB DVB-T sticks work when a driver dvb-usb-wt220u-zl0353-01.fw is added to the /lib/firmware directory.
In short, it's been a long struggle to a simpler solution and all versions of four once relatively popular DVB-T sticks work with this Distro.
116 TV/Radio/etc channels available!
Repeated thanks to those who nudged me towards results which might even encourage others!

Subject description: Noobs, Boobs and Revelations
Like yourself I'm a bit overwhelmed by what little I've learned about Linux but what I DO know is that you have to make effort to help yourself before you can be helped better by others.
Despite Googling and searching forums for information and worked examples I had found myself confused by my efforts. Not helped by discovering there are literally thousands of command variations in Linux when I want to learn only enough to make things work for me. And when I see posts quoting "Code" my reaction is much the same as you posted earlier - because it's new and complex for me at this stage!
I joined this forum, posted my plea, crudely reported what I'd tried and was guided out of the boobs I'd made by some helpful comments. Maybe what I found to work can help you?
A vital starting point must be the correct driver for your DVB-T device.
In Console, typing DMESG should result you seeing that your device is recognised and successfully installed.
You may find other drivers at www.linuxtv.org and the linux tv apps pet from
When installed it includes worked examples of initial scan files for several countries put in the /my applications/DVB-T folder. They give clues as to how to make your own with local frequencies and detail you must find.
(like T 498166000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE)
Now, I'm in the UK not Sweden but it appears that as most of your channels are encrypted and need a "Boxer" decoder, you'll only have success with the free ones...
The Scan command makes your device search these frequencies and generates detail in the vital .conf file that can be placed into the .Xine directory.
Start Xine, click on the DVB button then the Playlist button and see a menu of channels beginning with "Home". Click on a TV channel you recognise then the right arrow "Play" button and after "Buffering" has been displayed for a few seconds you're watching TV!
In fact, here's another discovery........
I've been experimenting with Puppy in several flash cards. Makes it easy to try things and if I make a boob, try again. The more I try, the simpler the outcome. Amazingly, because the correct driver for my Hauppauge DVB-T USB stick is included in the Puppy Linux Distro I need do nothing more than place the Channels.conf file I had made into the .Xine directory of another flash card and I get full TV reception!

Much appreciated. I take a look at it and try to find
drivers and such and place them in the right directory
and also test the Pradio that is supposed to work.
I get back and tell of any progress next week.
thanks indeed for all your effort to get it going.
I love when we find people among the members
that can point out what is needed and it works out.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (3-3, 1-0 PBC) returned to the Centennial Center for their first home game in over a month Tuesday, coming away with their first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) win. Forward Krysta Lewis (Woodstock, Ga.) led the team to a 54-43 victory over Georgia Southwestern State University (1-6, 0-1 PBC)
Lewis scored 18 points off the bench with 7-of-13 shooting from the floor as well as hitting the only two three pointers for the Bobcats. Lewis also added three rebounds and a block to her final line.
Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) was right behind Lewis, adding 17 points of her own on 7-of-12 shooting. Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.) pulled in a game-high nine rebounds while adding four points and two assists. Abby Slocumb (Suwanee, Ga.) added eight rebounds in addition to a key late-game block.
Jasmine McSwain led the Hurricanes with 12 points and Danisha Green added eight rebounds. The shot Hurricanes shot 18-of-50 from the field compared to 21-of-54 for the Bobcats.
The Bobcats will continue PBC play Saturday, Dec. 15 at 1:30 when they welcome Francis Marion University to the Centennial Center.

MORRIS – After 37 years of serving the city of Morris, City Clerk John Enger will be retiring next month.
Enger said Friday his resignation will be effective at the end of the day Feb. 3. He is resigning because of health issues. In spring 2013, Enger was out of work for several months because of illness, but returned in the fall.
"John has done a tremendous job for this community and it is really blessed to have someone who understands all facets of the city. ... John is a wealth of knowledge of all things being born and raised here, from knowing the people as well as knowing what makes the city of Morris the city of Morris," Mayor Richard Kopczick said. "He will be sorely missed."
The Morris City Council will have to accept Enger's retirement notice and is expected to do so at a council meeting later this month.
Enger first started with the city in 1977 as the city treasurer, which he held until the spring of 1981 when he was elected as Third Ward alderman. His first term as alderman ended in 1985 at which time he was re-elected. But after about two years, he resigned to become city clerk in 1987 after Marge Warren retired.
"I pride myself on winning 10 straight elections and I worked under five mayors," Enger said.
During his time in all these offices, he worked under mayors Donald Davidson, Don Barkley, Bud Washburn, Bob Feeney and Kopczick.
At some point in his career, the city switched from an appropriations system to a budget system at which time Enger also became the city's budget officer.
Although he is retiring, Enger's face still will be seen around city hall for awhile.
"The mayor and the finance committee want me to continue to do some budget work," he said.
Kopczick said they are looking into using Enger as a consultant for some time through the transition to a new city clerk and budget officer. Enger said he planned on coming in a couple times a week to help.
The city is looking to fill the opening internally, Kopczick said, but he could not comment on which city employee or employees are being considered.
The position will be appointed by the mayor with the advice and consent of the Morris City Council, the same as when an alderman has been appointed in the past. The appointee also will be the city's budget officer.
Because Enger is resigning before he is midway through his current term, whomever is appointed to replace him will only be in place until spring 2015.
"We anticipate the position will be on the ballot for the general election in April 2015 for a two-year term," Kopczick said.
After those two years, the position will be up for election again for its full four-year term.
Carol Adair of the water and billing department has worked for Enger for seven years.
"He drives through the city in the mornings to make sure everything is going well," she said. "He knows everyone in the city and knows its history. He just has so much in his head, he's going to be missed."
Enger said he plans to stay in Morris for his retirement and will miss working for the city.
"I thank the citizens of Morris for electing me 10 times," he said.
