A new Changing Places facility arrived in Eastbourne this morning (11 August).
As dawn broke over the seafront, a crane lifted the block, which cost £70,000, into position near the bandstand, where the old Enviro-Facts kiosk used to stand on the middle promenade. The only other Changing Places in town, is currently located in the Arndale Centre.
It will provide accessible facilities for the disabled, enabling older children and adults to be changed with dignity. There will also be an accessible toilet, shower and hoist.
Due to open in time for Airbourne next week, Eastbourne Buzz was there at 5am to see the block arrive:

Luckily, there are things you can do to help avoid overwhelm. How to Minimize Stress and Avoid Burnout as a Stay-at-Home Mom You can prevent mommy burnout by taking a few extra steps that stop you from feeling like you're a full-time daycare worker with no breaks or days off. Avoid Negative People If your support system isn't behind you then mommy burnout may quickly appear on the horizon. Avoid negative people who don't have your back. While you can't avoid everyone, you can make sure the majority of people in your life are supporting you and are always there for you. From getting your mother-in-law off your back to sometimes making difficult decisions to exclude certain types of unsupportive people from your life, you need to have a team of people who are positive, on your side and not judging every decision you make for your family. Find Your Support System Just as you want to avoid the negative people as much as possible, you want to surround yourself with as many positive people as you can. If you currently don't have a support system in place, create one. Find mom friends through playdates, support groups, your children's school, or even standing in the line at the grocery store. Other moms are a wonderful resource because they've been there/done that and can relate to exactly what you're going through now. Confide in your own mom, a sibling or other relative about the challenges you're currently facing. Without a good support system in place, you can quickly become an overwhelmed mom headed straight for burnout. Put Yourself First Ask most moms who come first in their house and they'll say it's the kids. But if you're not taking care of yourself, you can't take care of everyone else. Put yourself first. It doesn't mean you're not taking care of your family and doing what's right for them. It simply means that you are the engine of the household and you have to be taken care of or the whole family suffers. It's not only okay for you to take time for yourself, but it's also something you must do to prevent mommy burnout. Start a new hobby, take classes for women, or pick up a work-at-home job if it's something you want to try. Those little things you do for yourself make a huge difference in your emotional health and how your household operates without frustration continually mounting. Spend Time With Your Significant Other There's a reason we call them "significant" others. Their role is significant as we go through the many stages of parenting together. Although it is very easy to do, don't put your relationship on the back burner. As exhausted as you may be at the end of the day, make time for your significant other. A simple daily conversation with your partner can give you the emotional boost you need on those days you're feeling burnout coming on. Connecting with your partner every day makes a huge difference in your outlook for tomorrow. Simply looking forward to time to decompress with your significant other at the end of the day can get you through those challenging parenting times. Put Your Partner to Work Your family is a team and your spouse can help you up off the field when you feel like you just got blitzed by your own players. Many partners want to help but we can make them feel like invaders because they're not feeding the kids the way we do or putting them in pajamas the way we would. Your SO can be a great resource. Just step back and let them do their thing. It doesn't matter if the kids eat fruit cocktail instead of the applesauce you prepared after dinner or that they're wearing the horse pajamas instead of the dog pajamas you had planned. It's very easy for parents to become deadlocked when it comes to helping out. Mom has her way of running the ship because she's there all day in the trenches. Then your partner comes home and feels better about opting out of helping because they don't want to interfere with your plans. Give yourself some relief. The time is good for your partner and kids and you two working so closely together as the team that you are can help strengthen your relationship, too. Watch Your Gadget Time A recent study says kids feel their parents are distracted by their gadgets. Not only do your kids see you with your gadgets in your face all the time but you're also giving yourself unnecessary stress with all that tech time. With all of those perfect parent Facebook posts you see in your timeline, you're just putting unrealistic pressure on yourself to be that perfect parent like your Facebook friends. Remember, not everyone is going to be completely honest about their life as a parent. Most of your friends are not going to post about the frustrating mom days when their youngest attempted to flush an entire pack of baby wipes down the toilet while their oldest took a dozen eggs outside to see if he could fry up some lunch on the hood of the brand new family car. Go gadget-free for most of the day and almost instantly you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off of you. Stop Feeling Like You're Failing Moms seem to have an inner critic that never sleeps. This inner critic makes moms question just about everything, including their performance as parents. That constant criticism isn't good for anyone and makes you feel like you're failing as a parent. Be bold and tell your inner critic to shut up! You're doing a great job. Some days you'll feel like you're barely surviving at-home parenting. But you're a good mom and you can't win every parenting struggle. In fact, you don't even need to try to win every parenting battle. Get Some Sleep Typically, we think of mommy burnout as something that moms of newborns experience, especially because of sleep deprivation. But mommy burnout can happen at any time if mom isn't getting enough rest. Get some sleep, mom. Regardless of your children's ages, they need a good night's sleep. And you need a good night's sleep to keep mommy burnout at bay. After all, no one functions well if they haven't slept long enough. Add kids into the equation and you definitely need to get some good rest to be a happy mom ready to face another day of sibling spats, diaper changes and driving kids all over town. Just Say No You can't do everything so don't even try. Saying no may make you feel guilty that you're not doing everything that is asked of you but it shouldn't. You have to know when to say no. You are one person and you can't do it all. In other words, say no to baking 300 cookies for the bake sale, sewing costumes for the school play and volunteering as a coach for this season's soccer team. Limit the projects you accept to two or even one at a time and make sure you're not the go-to person month after month. Otherwise, you'll set yourself up for mommy burnout on a massive scale. Don't Overschedule Your Family Just as you need to know when to say no for yourself, you need to know when to say no to your kids. It's impossible to get your daughter to dance class at 4, shoot across town to drop your oldest son at soccer practice by 4:30 and criss-cross back across the city to get your youngest to T-ball by 5. Overscheduling your kids can easily lead to burnout for all of you so know when to say no to save your sanity. There's always next season for that sports team or other activity. Try to build in at least one day during the week that your family doesn't have to be anywhere after school. Simplify your days to add in that free time and you'll make mommy burnout less likely. Let Your Child Do Things for Himself Sometimes it's easier to do things for our kids than to get them to do it themselves. But raising an independent child who understands responsibility begins with letting them do things for themselves. Sure, it may be easier to let your son pour his own orange juice, even though he'll probably spill some of it on the counter. However, he can learn how to do it for himself while also giving you a break at the same time. He'll be proud of his accomplishment, even if it's not perfect, and he'll soon be ready to take on bigger responsibilities. The more he takes on himself, the less you have to do. And every little bit helps you. Take a Break From Your Child Yes, it's true. You deserve a break from your child. Find a mom's-day-out program that works around your schedule. See if a family member would like to have a standing playdate for your child to come over for an hour or two or just every now and then. Start a babysitting co-op to swap babysitting time with other parents at no cost to you. Look into childcare options that are flexible and affordable. And don't forget your break shouldn't just be used for you to run errands or do chores. Use your break for "you-time," a night out with your girlfriends, or a date night with your spouse. Look for Signs of Stress or Something More Serious The continual demands of parenting can easily lead to stress. And stress can quickly lead to mommy burnout. If you don't take breaks, get sleep and have others helping you out, to name a few, that stress continues to add up. You never have time to recharge yourself and you may find everything feels like it's piling up on you. Look for the signs of stress in yourself. Also, recognize if you're actually feeling the symptoms of depression. It's easy to become a stressed out or depressed mom. Don't be afraid to seek help. As much as you love your kids, parenting can take its toll on you. Talk to your doctor honestly so that you can get back to being a happy, healthy mom.

One of the phrases that was captured in my mind from the very beginning of the IOP workshop on entrepreneurship for scientists and engineers, held in Mexico City in September, was "there is life beyond academia". This phrase set the tone for what was to come.
I was first able to learn about the functions and services of the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property, which made me realise the importance of patenting and confidentiality.
Further talks informed me about the resources available for specific scientific developments and innovation in Mexico. The financial support allocated for research and development showed me about the importance of honoring the responsibility of tax-funded academic workers.
I also learned about the process towards bringing an idea to life while receiving relevant advice from experienced people, some of whom shared their contact details and offered follow-up consultation. I was astounded at the discovery of many websites that are available for supporting academic work in Mexico – and the rest of the world.
I learned about business planning, marketing and sustainability, among which I was exposed to valuable lessons about the market, finance and ethics. Finally I was pleased to put my abilities to the test. This was made possible through group activities, tasks and presentations. I had the opportunity to exercise my understanding, make influential contributions and iron out some of my personal weaknesses.
The workshop led me to a desire and vision for a life beyond academia. This being the conviction, I have already started to put all my learning from the workshop into application. This has so far involved my pursuit towards patenting, planning and seeking support for my projects. Before the workshop I would not have imagined it possible for me to be an entrepreneur but after having seen the paths of normal people making it there, I dare not doubt it.
Since our future and that of our children's' generation depends on the impacts we make today, I strongly advocate the continuity and expansion of workshops such as this one – especially in developing countries, where the possibilities for innovation are limitless.

The Homestretch Trailer (2014)
Trailer for The Homestretch.
Kasey, Anthony and Roque are smart, ambitious Chicago teens. Like many their age, they struggle to keep their grades up so they can graduate from high school. What sets them apart from other teens is that after the school day ends they don't go home. Instead, they spend their nights looking for a warm, safe place to sleep. They're among the 19,000 homeless students in Chicago public schools, and like so many, they've fallen victim to issues of juvenile justice, immigration, foster care and LGBTQIA discrimination. This powerful documentary follows their stories, and those of the heroes and heroines who support them, as they work to overcome the trauma of abandonment at a very young age. They face overwhelming odds, but the courage and conviction of these three teens defies stereotypes in this story of struggle and triumph.

The rate of technological change these days is mind-boggling. I still haven't gotten my head around 3D printing. And now, evidently, it is possible to email an organism.
In fact, genes, even entire organisms, can already move virtually – squishy and biological at each end, but nothing more than a series of ones and zeros while en route. The tiny virus that causes influenza is a leading-edge example of technical developments.
Today, when a new strain of influenza appears in Asia, scientists collect a throat swab, isolate the virus, and run the strain's genetic sequence. If they then post that strain's sequence on the Internet, American and European laboratories may be able to synthesize the new virus from the downloaded data faster and more easily than if they wait for a courier to deliver a physical sample. The virus can spread faster electronically than it does in nature. (Source)
Obviously this requires scientists at both ends of the email, but will it always? How soon before our seed orders are emailed to us?
More complicated viruses and some bacteria are in the range of such techniques today, though wholly synthesizing a higher organism with a more complex genome, such as maize, is many years away. But that may not matter, as new gene-editing technologies, like CRISPR-Cas9, enable scientists to stitch together complicated new organisms, using gene sequence information from organisms to which they do not have physical access.
For example, the key traits of a drought-resistant maize from a Zapotec community in Oaxaca, Mexico, might be reproduced by editing the genes of another maize variety. No major new advance in the technology is needed to unlock this possibility.
CRISPR (pronounced "Crisper") technology is already leaving the GMO technology of the 1990's in the dust. Nowadays to engineer a gene for desirable traits doesn't require the introduction of DNA from another species or organism (as is done with GMOs). Instead the engineers can just edit the existing genetic material. So, for example, the genes of pigs can be edited to make them resistant to disease. The genes of cattle can be edited to make them naturally polled, eliminating the need to burn off their horns. Pigs that grow faster, vegetables that grow larger, bees that are mite resistant, the list goes on and on. All these things are happening now (read more HERE).
Obviously CRISPR technology won't be limited to non-human animals. It's already being used to engineer animal organs that can be used as human transplants, for example. And if scientists can edit out the gene that causes pigs to get PRRS, why wouldn't they edit out the genes that cause humans to get cancer? And while they're removing the cancer-causing genes, why not genetically correct near-sightedness? Why not bump the IQ 20 points while they're at it? Why not assure the optimum height? Etc.
It seems to me it isn't a question of whether these kinds of things are going to happen. It's just a question of how soon.
Of course it sounds like Dr. Frankenstein to us now. But in their day so did blood transfusions, pacemakers, artificial hearts, organ transplants, etc.
We live in amazing times, with both great potential for exciting progress, and great risk.

Challenges Senate to Release Redistricting Reform Bill from Committee for Floor Vote; Calls for Immediate Constitutional Amendment for Permanent Redistricting Reform
Monday evening, Bill Samuels, candidate for Lieutenant Governor and State Senate President and Chairman of the New Roosevelt Initiative, released his detailed proposal on Independent Redistricting. Fixing New York's corrupt redistricting process is widely viewed as one of the most critical reforms necessary in Albany. New York's state legislative districts are notoriously gerrymandered, drawn to protect favored incumbents while unfairly skewing representation, dividing communities and denying voters fair elections.
Independent Redistricting and different approaches to achieving this goal, were debated at the Samuels-sponsored forum on Legislative Redistricting, which attracted an overflow crowd and featured the film "Gerrymandering", which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Speaking at the forum were redistricting experts, including Richard Emery of Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLP, and Henry Stern, founder of NYCivic and recent cofounder with Ed Koch of the reform group New York Uprising.
"We must all focus on this issue so politicians understand that opposing fair redistricting is a greater political threat to them than trying to maintain a favorable district through unethical means," stated Henry Stern.
As a first step, Samuels called on the State Senate to immediately pass S.1614A, sponsored by Senators Dave Valesky and Craig Johnson, as the first stage of reforming New York's broken redistricting process. But Samuels also said it was urgent to simultaneously start the process of amending the state constitution to make the redistricting reform permanent.
S.1614A recently passed the Senate's Investigation and Government Operations Committee, and is now in the Elections Committee. Samuels challenged State Senators to release the bill from the Elections Committee for a full floor vote.
"We Democrats can't be afraid of fair elections," said Samuels. "I believe that the majority of voters share our Democratic values and our ideas, but we need to be prepared to defend those values and ideas in the court of public opinion. Let's finally give the voters the choices they deserve by creating an Independent Commission that draws district lines the right way."
While agreeing that the current system is unacceptable, Emery argued against passing the Valesky/Johnson bill calling it, "A promise that cannot deliver," because of the loopholes in the legislation. Emery instead advocated for a Constitutional amendment, but expressed doubt that the legislature would be able to pass anything in time for the upcoming redistricting process.
While acknowledging Emery's concerns, Samuels felt that the Valesky/Johnson bill could be a first step in reforming the redistricting process.
"While this bill would be a major step forward, it does not achieve permanent reform," Samuels said. "As the New York City Bar Association has correctly pointed out, we actually need to amend our State Constitution to permanently give an Independent Redistricting Commission the authority they need." Emery was on the subcommittee that prepared the City Bar recommendations.
To amend the State Constitution, the legislature must pass an amendment this year, and pass it a second time under next year's legislature, to give the voters a chance to ultimately vote on the amendment in 2011. A copy of the New York City Bar Association's proposed amendment is below.
"Pass this bill NOW. Pass the amendment this year," Samuels continued. "There is simply no more room for excuses and there is no more time for delay."

Spring still manages to be special with something new every day. Here are two days from this past week, starting with Friday, April 16, 2013:
|These ants are preparing the peonies for those big splashy blooms soon to happen.
|Lilacs continue to open up -- and their scent takes over the yard.
|The delightfully unexpected: an asparagus stalk within the yarrow -- quite a ways from the asparagus patch!
|catalpa tree buds, for George Ella
|A friend gave us two of these bald cypresses, which are deciduous conifers -- just meaning of course fir trees that lose their leaves.... Here are this year's, brand new, and, to me, fascinating.
|I also love the light greens of early fern leaves.
|another from above photo with my new lens, this time of wood-betony
|Both these blossom photos are on the antique apple tree I shared a photo of last week. Pretty fantastic job, sweet tree!
Now two photos from TODAY, April 28, 2013, during a road trip to the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County in eastern Kentucky. The school is celebrating its centennial this year! Mist along the mountainside is pretty common there, but there was indeed quite a bit of rain during the weekend. The building is the chapel, which has an organ in it, where we were treated to an amazing concert by Patricia Griffith, from Frankfort. Yes, I will add a photo of her during the concert. The redbuds are still blooming there, even though it is three hours south of where I live.
|Thank you, Patricia! And hats off to all that the school has stood for during its 100 years.

Carting and Rescue
Historically, large, heavy dogs often rescued people from the sea as well as those trapped in snow and ice covered mountains. Other draft dogs acted as the farmer's or milkman's assistants, pulling carts of containers full of milk or other produce. This section contains many of our most famous pure breed dogs, originally developed for these purposes.

The pleasure we derive from watching others cook is abundantly clear with the sheer volume of views that recipe videos get online. Take the 'Tasty' Facebook account as an example, they have over 50 million (!) followers and each video racks up millions of views and likes. The much loved 'Saturday Kitchen' even reached 3 million viewers at its peak.
Adding some personality into the mix can really spice things up though. Our most recent recipe video was for Ombar, the chocolate makers who use Raw Cacao and whose ingredients are naturally and organically sourced.
They teamed up with the nutritional health coach, food blogger and Sunday Times bestselling author Madeleine Shaw. Madeleine has a big following on social media and her advice is widely used and respected by lifestyle writers – giving us a great starting point. This combined with the ongoing 'Vegan' trend that has hit the UK in the past couple of years meant we were able to produce a topical and engaging recipe video.
The production was smoothly executed and the filming only took up half a day. A week later we had two short recipe videos as well as press releases to coincide. As we wanted the video to be short and snappy to ensure viewers wouldn't switch off half way through, we needed to make sure Ombar's messages were within the press release. We opted for a 'Top 5' informative piece on Raw Cacao and the health benefits it offered.
See for yourself and take two minutes to have a watch:
Not only did the team really enjoy working on the project but the results were exceeded expectations. Digital Relations were able to secure coverage on Standard Online, Red Online and The Express Online.

Financial planning, an outcropping of the services sometimes offered by a stock broker or account govt, embody funding advice, insurance sales, retirement planning, and varied other assessments and planning to meet monetary objectives. The recommendation I wish I had obtained after graduating from faculty and graduate faculty is concerning the significance of planning for the future—for retirement, for buying a home and so on. I actually have always been a saver, even throughout the grueling low-income period in graduate school, but saving equated to what was left over every year with none particular goal to achieve.

In reality, there is no such thing as pure sales" relationships in monetary services anymore – practically everyone provides recommendation as part of what they do.

According to these assumptions, the individual's financial plan indicates a high probability of success.

A Quilt With Tilted Blocks
The blocks in this quilt are tilted, an easy technique that can be used with any quilt blocks.
The quilt measures about 31-1/2" square and was finished with simple machine quilting. Sew more blocks to make a larger quilt.
If you're a new quilter, brush up on your rotary cutting skills before you cut pieces for the quilt.
Fabrics and Other Materials
Use the color values suggested or alter them in any way you like.
- 2/3 yard of medium for long triangles
- Dark strip at least 2-1/2" x 11 for block centers
- 1/16 yard of medium-light fabric for small squares in blocks
- 1/16 yard of warm-dark fabric for small squares in blocks
- Dark strip at least 3" x 28" for squares in sashing
- 5/8 yard light for long sashing strips
- 1/3 yard of dark fabric for large squares in blocks
- 1 yard for quilt backing
- 34" x 34" piece of thin quilt batting
- 145 running inches of binding
- Rotary equipment, including a square ruler that measures at least 12" x 12"
Cutting Chart
From the medium long-rectangle fabric:
- eight 2-1/2" x 16" rectangles
From the dark block center fabric:
- Cut four 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares
From the medium-light fabric:
- one 2 1/2" x 42" strip
From the warm-dark fabric:
- one 2 1/2" x 42" strip
From the dark block fabric:
- sixteen 4 1/2" squares
From the light sashing fabric:
- Cut four 3" x selvage width strips, and then cut twelve 3" x 14-1/2" bars from the strips. This is doable if strips have a usable width of about 43". Take care when trimming selvage--trim just as much as necessary to square up one end.
From the dark sashing square strip:
Continue to 2 of 4 below.
- Nine 3" x 3" squares
02 of 04
Make Strip Sets and Assemble Inner Blocks
Use a 1/4" seam allowance for all seams.
Make Patchwork
- Sew a medium-light selvage width strip lengthwise to a warm dark strip. Press the seam allowance towards the darker strip. Square up one end of the strip set and cut sixteen 2-1/2" segments.
- Sew a 4-1/2" dark square to each side of a segment from Step 1. Press seam allowances towards the large squares. Make a total of eight of these units.
- Sew a Step 1 segment to opposite sides of each 2-1/2" dark center square, placing the light portion of the unit against the square. Press seam allowances towards the center square. Make a total of four of these new units.
Assemble the Inner Quilt Blocks
Continue to 3 of 4 below.
- Arrange the block into three rows, as shown above, placing the light squares in pieced units against the dark center squares.
- Sew the rows together, matching seams carefully. Press the seam allowances away from the center.
- Repeat, making a total of four blocks.
03 of 04
Give the Quilt Blocks a Twist
Continue to 4 of 4 below.
- Cut four of the light 2-1/2" x 16" long rectangles in half once diagonally, taking care to orient the cuts in the same direction.
- Cut the remaining four long rectangles in half once diagonally, but make cuts along the opposite diagonal to produce long triangles that are mirror images of the set you cut in Step 1.
- Choose four like triangles that are cut as shown in the upper-left portion of the illustration above. Align a triangle with a block, right sides together and its 90-degree corner aligned with the top corner of a block as shown in the illustration above. The long tip of the triangle will extend past the opposite edge of the block.
- Sew together, beginning at the 90-degree corner. Stop sewing when you reach the block's midpoint.
- Working in a clockwise direction, add a second triangle to the block, matching 90-degree corners. The tail of the second triangle will extend past the wider edge of the first triangle. Press the seam allowance towards the long triangle.
- Moving clockwise again, add a third and fourth triangle. Press seam allowances towards the triangle after each addition.
- After sewing the last triangle, align the unsewn edge of the first triangle with the block again, extending it over the wide edge of the fourth triangle. Complete the seam, backstitching a few stitches over the original seam line and then continuing to the end of the triangle. Press seam allowance towards the triangle.
- Make another identical block.
- Use the same method to sew the remaining triangles to the two remaining blocks. This set of triangles is a mirror image of the first and is sewn to the block in a counter-clockwise direction.
04 of 04
Trim and Assemble the Quilt
- Place your square ruler on top of a block. Align its top and right edges 1/4" past the upper left and upper right corner "tips" of the inner block--your goal is to square up the block, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance past those inner block tips. You'll need to twist the ruler around a bit to get the right "fit."
- When you feel the block is aligned, trim along the right and top edges.
- Turn the block around and do the same on the remaining untrimmed edges. Repeat to trim all blocks.
You now have two quilt blocks with interiors that tilt one way and two that tilt in the opposite directions.
Assemble the Quilt
- Arrange the blocks in two rows, as shown above, placing vertical sashing strips between them and along outer edges. Sew sashing to blocks in each row. Press seam allowances towards the sashing.
- Sew horizontal sashing units together as shown, separating them with sashing squares. Press seam allowances towards the squares.
- Sew the quilt together, placing a horizontal sashing unit between rows and at the top and bottom of the quilt. Press seams towards sashing units.
Finish the Quilt
Mark the quilt top for quilting if desired. You can use meander and straight-line machine quilting to eliminate the need for marking. Make the quilt sandwich with the quilt top, batting and backing. Baste and quilt.
Make binding strips and bind the quilt.

Is Straight Talk catching on?posted by Joe on July 22nd, 2009 - 7:37 am | Tracfone
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It seemed the industry was a bit scared when Straight Talk, the unlimited voice and text offering from Tracfone, debuted a few weeks ago. Shares of telecoms which offered similar unlimited plans temporarily plummeted, though they did recover. The fear is of a price war that might not happen. While the industry has shaken off the passing panic, Straight Talk still stands to do well. In fact, there are already positive reports coming out of at least one market.
FierceWireless references a report by Pali Research saying that Straight Talk is doing quite well in Atlanta. This is no surprise. Yet, has Tracfone implemented a marketing plan in the ATL that they haven't in the rest of the nation? From the FierceWirless summary:
He also noted in a blog post that Wal-Mart employees seemed knowledgeable about the plan, and that they were pointing out to customers that the plan runs on Verizon's network. Several Wal-Mart employees said the majority of their prepaid wireless sales had already shifted to Straight Talk. Piecyk said that TracFone commercials promoting the plan appeared to be playing in heavy rotation on local television stations.
It's really no surprise that sales people know about the plan. It was probably promoted as a big winner by Wal-Mart store managers. Plus, there's really not much to remember. Unlimited voice and text, plus 30 MB of data, for $45 per month, and it runs on the Verizon network. That's it. I wonder if there's as much promotion for Straight Talk's $30 plan, which provides 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts, and 30 MB of data. That's the one I like.
Of course, Straight Talk catching on it's objectively great. Remember, it's on a six-month trial with Verizon, so if they see too much volume, the offering could get nixed. We'll have a better idea early next year.

I'm not at all surprised that Straight Talk is catching on. You know why? Because until last month I paid over $50 for the most basic plan on Verizon. The plan is supposed to cost $40 but with all the hidden charges and fees added, I never paid less than 50. It only gave me 450 minutes, data was charged at a ludicrous $1.99 per Mb, 411 calls cost almost 2 bucks each.
That was last month.
This month I get 1000 minutes, 1000 texts, 30mb of data and free 411 calls.
On the same network.
That is why the plan is catching on…
KerryView July 23, 2009
I think this Straight Talk is a great offer but I'm still very cash-strapped at the moment so I'll be staying with my Net10 phone for now because I only pay $20 per month and I get everything (Long distance, Roaming and international calls) for only 10cents per minute, and texts for 5 cents. I don't use more than 200 minutes at the moment anyway.
LaneView July 24, 2009
As a college student, I don't have enough money to pay the pricy cell phone bill that I have been paying for the past few months. My friend told me at the beginning of the month of a company called TracFone. They are a prepaid cell phone company — which means, I only pay for the minutes that I need. The best part is that you don't need to spend a lot of money on contract phones. Tracfone recently came up with a plan called "Straight Talk". I had NO IDEA what it was until I did some research. Here's what it is: you pay 30 dollars a month and it includes 1000 anytime minutes (nation wide), 1000 text messages, 30 MB of data and no overage charges! You can get them at Wal-Mart stores for very cheap. It's great for college students, elderly, children, and people who do not use their phones too frequently.

Straight Talk pretty much is the second wave of the unlimited plan price wars launched by Boost unlimite back in January. Not quite as revolutionary so much as evolutionary. Boost basically pushed Metro and Cricket into circling their wagons and sibling rival and fellow Sprint Mvno Virgin Mobile to attempt to match their unlimited moves.
The Gsm networks have been all quiet with NOT ONE UNLIMITED GSM EVERYTHING plan out there. Combining the muscles of Verizon, Tracfone and Walmart, Straight Talk is a test trial for six months for Trac to test out the waters in an unfamiliar (to them) market.
The biggest thing they did was causing Metro, Cricket and other carriers stocks to drop briefly from the annoucement of their $45 unlimited talk/text/30 meg plan. And rival carrier Sprint pushing unlimited plans for its Mvnos , hurling them at Verizon, Ready Mobile's 2/7 day unlimited plan, Kajeet's unltd talk/text trial, Boost cdma Unltd price cuts. ST is not being ignored.
And apparently, fellow long time established Verizon mvno Page Plus is going to launch plans in August to September to counter what they see as a direct threat by Straight Talk. Rumors are floating that at least 4, maybe 5 new plans are on the way including two which closely mirror Straight Talk in price and content.
Whether they all come out or only part of the plans come out, it will be an exciting time for fans of Page Plus if they do as they are supposedly going to. All this is thanks to Straight Talk.

Update on Straight Talk, it will NOT end in six months. The much talked about trial period for Verizon refers to the Branding, "Powered by the Nationwide Verizon Network" logo on the ST packaging. It is a multiple year deal according to Verizon. They were just looking at the trial to not allow their name to be directly used after the six months. IT was in today's online Wall Street Journal.
Here is the excerpt: (Verizon Executive Denny) Strigl said the partnership, called Straight Talk, is experimental, and that the company wouldn't do anything to cannibalize its own core contract business. Verizon Wireless has the right to pull its brand off the service at any time. Strigl confirmed that the deal with TracFone will run for multiple years, but the branding experiment would last six months.
Straight Talk made headlines because it offered a more than 50% discount on Verizon Wireless' service, despite running on the same network. Strigl said the pricing is up to TracFone.

Good catch, Peter. Good to know that this will stick around for a while. That might even get more people to sign up, knowing that they'll continue to have service.

I went to the crooks at the Verizon Wireless store. I showed them my new ST phone. I asked them if they could match a service planw with out a contract. They told me no. They also told me that Verizon would never let any other complaies under cut their contracts.
I was told that this company isn't real, that my service wouldn't be as good, and I would not get good customer service.
So far all of the things they told me are false. Verizon will try to do anything to keep you locked in a contract. The renewed my contract when my 6 month old phone died.
When your phone contract is up kiss Verizon goodbye. Go with Straight talk. No contract, $30 a month.

1. if you get a $30 card the first time you put a balance on your phone, you MUST stay paying the $30 unless you want your phone to be de and reactivated 3 TIMES!!. i tried and 3 days after the fact ive had nothing but problems.. tyesterday, it said that after a 3min phone call, i was out of money even though at the begingin of that call i had over 16 hours. NOW today i couldnt listen to ringtones, view pictures or videos nor take any. so my mom and i called the company and when we did so, the "oh so great" gentleman that we got wiped out EVERYTHING and i mean EVERRYYYTHINGGG on my phone. i now have no pictures, no videos, no messages that i had locked, and all the ringtones i downloaded, yea they're gone too. and when we talked to the supervisor, his exact words were "Thats impossible" so i get angry (even more than i was already)and they never even tried to repair it.. nor did we get an apology for the inconvenience. we then call back to give him the code that we were given that had "accidentally" cleared my phone and the actually very nice lady we got said that it CAN happen and that SHE was SORRY!. the person who has no say in anything says shes sorry but the person in charge NOTHING..

Peter KentView October 20, 2009
Straight Talk is owned by Tracfone so will always have their substandard (imho) non US customer service. Not that inferior foreign CS is any better then inferior American CS. At that price it is about the phones (yeah they are getting five new models over the coming months) and the network (post Alltel merger Verizon prepaid network ). At $45 unlimited everything they are offering Metro/Cricket prices for a Verizon product.

I just purchased Straight Talk and I love it. I was with Verizon doing the pay as you go at 3.99/day for unlimited talk/1 penny per text, so I was spending 120/mo. but I rack up about 5,000 min/mo. I hope it stays around since I'm reading that it's in a 6 mo. trial period.

yes there is a coverage list and available list of phones, i'm with Tracfone with DMFL card and i buy the 450 minute card which then doubles to 900 and i go through it all within a month, so this Straight Talk plan seems like the better deal since they separate talk and text, tracfone doesn't so anything you do takes airtime, unlimited would be great too as more and more people ditch their landlines

I just got this service about a week and a half ago and have issues with people not receiving my texts or me not getting theirs, sending and receiving duplicate texts or even receive texts then like 12 hrs. later receive the same texts again. For the people that do not have the unlimited plan I would be throwing a fit for having my texts wasted.

SO they called page plus(bye the way sucks, 56cents a min for roaming and they dont tell you tell after activation, only had them a few weeks) page plus verified my account next day they tell me the dont know how to spell page plus …really. Page plus witch also runs on verizon tells me they ported the number susesfully on tueday… ST tells me its a billing issue is the reason its taken so long (Its prepaid who gets billed) so today they tell me I have to wait an aditional 48 hrs and call them back. I was with suncom then altell seems I cant get away from the hold verizon is putting on us evey time I have had my number ported it to 10 mins – 12 hrs at the most so I told them I need a phone on today I got kids and me company runs off of that number they wont release my phone number now….

I purchased my phone at wal-mart, transferred my ATT number, and am not looking back. Works great since it uses Verizon towers, and I live way out in the sticks. The unlimited AT&T plan is 100 bucks a month, not including text and or internet. 11-25-09 and very satisfied.

We switched from Sprint. We were with them for 8 years, paying 200.00 a month for a family plan. After buying the phones and the first month of service, Straight Talk is gonna save us hundred's over the year, and thousands over a decade. Its the best damn deal out there(Period). The only downside, low tech phones. But at the cost were still saving a crapload of money. And I can switch to my Ipod Touch to email on free Wi-Fi when I find it. I highly recommend this program to everyone thats tired of paying the mainstream cell companies a fistfull of cash. TheSarge

Since April me and my fiance went with the Boost unlimited plan, because of the price we thought it would be great. The good thing about Boost was the walkie talkie for quick chats and "where ya at?"s but soon became a nuisance because you can't shut off the walkie talkie. During the time we had Boost we would receive messages sometimes and then wait for the download. Sometimes the message would not download at all and would have to guess what the person said. RIDICULOUS. Boost was constantly trying to fix the problem (supposedly). For Christmas and at the time of our last re-boost we decided to get ST and so far we have no complaints, our text messages get to us quickly and no waiting on them to download. We got the 45 a month with unlimited talk and text with a 79.99 LG 290C and I love the phone. Its a nice slider with beautiful screen resolution. I'm not saying its the greatest thing since sliced bread but hey its a phone ecspecially compared to my Boost Clutch (sort of a Blackberry). I think the biggest difference is the service and the choice on phones. With Boost on Nextel/Sprint and ST on Verizon towers I think I would go with Verizon.

Straight talk in my opinion, is better than a verizon prepaid service, on the verizon you had 2 hours one minute then the next you had 35 minutes.It was a waste.The thing that gets me with Straight talk is tho, why if they use Verizon towers, why cant verizon customers that have free mobile to mobile call Straight talk for free?Thats ridicoulous!

beware of the no rollover clause as this means on the date also as i have the 45 unlimited plan and thought i would go ahead and and another card for next month. It don't work that way they stole 2 weeks from me and put the new date 30 days from the day I added the card so i lost 2 weeks that I had paid for when I added time early.

I got my ST phone 2 days ago at walmart. I got the $80 phone and a $30 card. I got home and had it activated online within 5 minn. So far everything is fine, the internet seems about the same as I had on my Verizon pre-paid phone. All my texts have gone through and been recieved instantly, and the calls sound great. I have not had to deal with customer service so I cant comment on that but everything else, so far, is great. I was just on here trying to find out if Verizon customers can text me free..? It does not look like it.. anyone know for sure?

Beware of what lies just ahead. Straight Talk has been so successful at Wal-Mart that Verizon is losing customers from Alltel and Big Verizon itself. As a result, many Wal-Mart stores will no longer sell the phone. I live in a region where I'm going to have to cross a state line to find a store to buy one. I understand Verizon only has a six month deal with Trac and Wally World. But it looks like they didn't even fulfill that arrangement. Verizon and Alltel started losing customers big time. I would like to know what the situation is in the whole country, but I can't get that info. There's almost nothing on Google about this. Verizon will probably not renew and Wal-Mart and Trac will have to find a new carrier. Of course the news of what happened will leave the other carriers less than interested also. But really, I expect that Sprint/Nextel, already themselves on the road to low cost service with boost and other services, T-Mobile and Cellular One are the likely candidates to replace them. Cellular One has not very focused national marketing. As far as I know they don't have a pricey smartphone with high monthly tariffs. So they might do it because it would tear down all the others but not hurt them as much. Any of these three could be the next cell phone carrier for straight talk. I tell you what I'd like to see though: Wal Mart itself as a sixth nationwide service. Wal-Mart has the wherewithal and is the most motivated to start such a service. If any of the three carries I've mentioned don't agree, Wal-Mart will still be able to make a deal with their tower owners. Its not a well known fact but even the towers that identify as being towers of the Big Five, are usually actually owned by little Mom and Pop and regional companies. Its simply cheaper for the Bigs to rent tower use that to own. Only in major cities where market share is critical do the Bigs own towers. And they shed them when profits disappear or even fall off somewhat. If you know accounting, you know that renting towers is cash and owning them is a capital intensive, tax paying situation for one of the Bigs. We're coming to the end of the six month deal with Verizon so we should know soon what is next. My worry would be Straight Talk people would get a really lousy carrier like Sprint-Nextel, which mainly clings to interstate highways in its coverage outside major cities and nowhere else.

Love the Straight Talk! Look folks the wireless industry is booming and unlimited plans are the future. I have had ATT, Sprint (virgin Mobile), Nextel, but Verizon Wireless for years. You just cant beat the coverage PERIOD! Gotta love competition! Best for all of us. The prices will continue to plummet. Its supply and demand folks. More supply, more competition, less price.

Is straight talk all its cracked up to be. I live in NW Missouri and I was thinking about switching from tmobile. Can you use ulocked phones or only theirs? please let me know. Thanks

Is it true that anywhere that a verizon phone gets service Straight Talk will too? Even if it is not on Verizon tower? I live in a rural area (southern Oregon) and all the towers are ATT, however Verizon customers get service as do US Cellular–so they obviously have contracts to use the ATT tower….so will Straight Talk get service off the towers that are owned by ATT but contracted out by Verizon? Anyone have any ideas about this……I sure would like to switch!

No, Straight Talk will only allow their handsets to be used. So definitely no GSM(AT&T, TMobile)unlocked handsets. But also no CDMA (Sprint-Nextel, Verizon) handsets either. Only Straight Talk(not even other TracFone companies handsets either!) I bet there is a way around this constraint, but one would have to be knowledgeable in CDMA programming, which I presume is pretty tricky.

The thing about straight talk is the phones are so cheap, Shore they not androids or smart phones, but they do the job, what more do you need. I had an iphone before and yes it was fun, but i mean the amount of money i had to fork out was crazy. So i dont mind having a normal phone if it means im saving money, and i hear you can really mess up your phone if you try program it your self.

Just wondering if you can install java apps on the phone? Like for twitter or a PDF reader etc? Thanks!

I dont think you can add apps, but you can definitely use the webbrowser and check out all the sites. I use mine to check out facebook and my email and have even used it to check my ban account. I have the Samsung touchscreen with unlimited plan for $45 and that thing is a lifesaver. More than once I have used it to move money from my savings to checking account for time i have needed to make purchases. Ahhhhh, this thing is clutch!

Overall the straight talk service has been adequate. My problem is with their website and customer service. It takes 4ever to refill the phones via customer service. If you try to refill your phone online after the minutes expire (at midnight) – you will not be able to. It automatically deactives your phone. The company should at least have a 24 hour window to refill without having to call customer service and speak to CSR's who can't even speak clear English.

Just ditched Verizon after 20 years (!); it took 10 minutes to port my number over online with no problems. I have the $100 Samsung at it it great! Sick of Verizon jamming a data package down my throat so they can buy expensive teevee ads for Droid etc! Around Olympia WA area, service is outstanding. Make the switch!

I recently purchased a straight talk phone and have yet to be disappointed. The phone that I bought was $80 and the plan I have is only $45 a month and I have unlimited everything! I mainly use my phone for texting and calls-not so much the internet but I know that if I'm lost I can mapquest my way out of it without having to worry about how much it's going to cost. I also like the fact that ST runs off of verizons towers-in my opinion they have the BEST coverage map-even better than at&t(which my mom has and her calls are dropped all the time) I like to have a phone that anyone can call me on and I dont have to worry what time of day their calling or how many minutes I have left or how much money I have left on my account. I am 100% satisfied with straight talk and will never go to any other prepaid or contract phone again. Thanks to the owners of striaght talk-you've made my life a little bit easier!!!!!

Do you have to notify Verizon Wireless that you no longer want their service once you port your number?
ScottView April 25, 2010
Quick question,
If I use up my 1000 texts or 30 mb before the end of the month does the phone have to be refilled or do those service just not work until refill?

just to cl few things, i recently contacted a rep for Verizon about this… the lady i talked to was very apt to listen, but kept trying to push a 100$ a month plan, plus a deposit, 2-year contract, and activation fee… when i asked if there was any reason i should go with their plan as opposed to the ST 45$ a month one the only thing she could tell me was:
1. Verizon has one of the best service networks nation wide
2. they have a larger selection of phones…
it was sort of insulting, i do realize some people pick a cell service based on what phone they can get, or things like the sort, but really? if the only selling point you can come up with is that you have a larger selection than the other guys, something is wrong! what really confused me was the lack of knowledge the tech had about the phones/plans they have. as far as service, i understand it is great service, at least where i am… so i did the math, even with a 25$ phone from Verizon, it would still cost 1225$ a year for an unlimited plan for text talk and data, and even choosing the 125$ Black Berry Samsung clone from ST, it still comes up to about 640$ a year… so why would anyone even consider paying twice as much to have the same service on a sub par phone? i understand paying for the phone outright is a little bit pricey, but it's a small cost in the long run. i mean for just the money saved in the first 6 months theoretically you could buy 3 of the 100$ phones, not that you would, but if wanted it could be done.
and as for boost, wether it uses sprint or nextel towers, it all depends on the phone you choose. what i mean is any of the phones with i in the model name (i465, i290, and so on) and have ptt(walkie-talkie)they are going to use the old nextel towers and the iden network which hasn't been updated in quite a while and is not really capable of handling the sheer volume of use it has gotten since they started the monthly unlimited plans… they have though tried to remedy the situation by bringing back their cdma service (uses the sprint side of the network, faster mobile web, more reliable texts, at the cost of sacrificing the ptt feature) to the monthly unlimited with a few of the newer phones like the sanyo incognito and miro, but for me it is too little too late

I'm glad everyone likes straighttalk. Be aware that their customer service is awful if you need it. It's closed 10 hours a day. and if you use your phone on off hours believe me you will regret it if you need consistant and reliable service. I've spent hours on the phone trying to straighten out one thing or another for our two phones because of poor service and unknowledgable CSRs.

GSM or CDMA. Walmart Straight Talk phones are model numbered with either a "C" or "G". For example, LG 620G is a GSM phone which uses AT&T and T-Mobile towers. whereas the Samsung R451C is a CDMA phone and uses Verizon towers. I don't know which is best but I guess for coverage you need to check and find out which is best where you live.

SWITCHED from contract (14 years) with U.S. Cellular, back in August, 2010…
WORKED FROM DAY ONE Straight Talk (Samsung 451).for me.
CUTOVER of phone number (porting) took about 12 minutes (I was shocked). Phone works from Springfield into Chicago. I don't really travel much.
CUSTOMER SERVICE (Who cares). Everything works. Only used them on day of cut-over and it was good enough.
The phone is crappy (takes nearly 14 steps to foreward a call; trying to call to a number within a text (not the sender) is spotty. Half the time it doesn't work, and it takes way too many steps (compared to my old Motorola VRAZR) Maybe that's thats the service and not the phone??
I recommend Straight Talk often. Usually I say: Unlimited talk, unlimited FULL text (including photos); internet sorta woks (with included APPS only)…. Have been considering moving to (twice as costly), unlimited pre-pay, with T-mobile. Mainly because of business needs for advanced data support and Vlingo and other voice apps. T-mobile (at $79, flat-rate) really rocks… IF U need serious hi-speed internet (when tethered to my laptop, the service rivaled our dsl service.
Straight Talk is simple, it's cheap, and for me, it works. I love NO CONTRACT. I solve the refill problem by providing them with a credit card and AUTO-refill. Their service and price work…The Samsung-451 sucks (maybe there are too many TRACFONE inhibitors). They sure won't let U put any outside APPS on their phone…

I LOVE my straight talk phone! Everything works GREAT no problems (yet). The price is unbeatable for what I am getting. Unlimited EVERYTHING for $45 a month, c'mon! Even 411 calls? AMAZING. I would highly recommend it to anyone who asks I could not be happier. 😉

Ron Shepherd comment #51, thanks for that information. Really important to know if you want to go with a prepaid cell phone service. If anyone is doing their research, this will definitely help out. Make sure you check what providers are available in your area before you make your phone purchase. Seems like Straight Talk is doing everything it can to stay ahead in what they offer to their customers and attract new ones. When the Unlimited plan was introduced a few months ago, this really put them ahead. Talk, text, internet, and 411 calls, all unlimited for $45 every 30 days. This is certainly one of the better deals.

I didn' think I would ever give up my iphone, but because of some budget issues, I had to switch to Straight Talk. Switching over has actually been a positive experience for me: I was able to go with a different smartphone through Straight Talk and spend? half the price of what I was paying before. Straight Talk's option meets my needs and I'm saving tons of? money.

Love straight talk! It's no iPhone, and don't expect 4G, but it leads all contenders in terms of bang for buck. The plan is truly unlimited, the signal service is wonderful, the phones are great too! Some people encounter problems with Customer Service but so far the product works as planned.

Hey nthomas, I've about had it with my contract carrier and would like to give prepaid a try. When I found out that straight talk has smart phones, I'm giving consideration to a switch. What concerns me is the how good the coverage is and how customer service will handle any issues you encounter. That's where my contract failed me, when I need assistance, all I get is the runaround.

Hard not to look at the 45 bucks a month for unlimited everything and wonder why I'm spending 110 a month on my iPhone. I'm sure this phone is fancier but I wonder if it's worth the cost, especially if Straight Talk really broadcasts from those towers…
gregphcView April 5, 2011
I have recently ended my verizon contract and just made the move to straight talk. As a former sprint employee I know the awful truth about airtime charges, here it is: the towers are always on, always, understand?. verizon is really the only useful network and they own most of the landlines they use for switching between towers. shortly after switching I had made a trip from cols, OH to raleigh NC and experienced no drop in service or even the slightest bit of breaking up while moms sprint spent most of its battery and her time "searching for signal" and breaking up, mom even used my phone for a 45min call. Customer service? Who cares, why are you calling them? I have never had to call customer service, for any reason, there are no billing issues you pay either $30 or $45, $45 being unlimited (that's what I choose every month) and set it up online. I have one of the smarter phones and while my friends at first laughed and gave me crap about not having a replacement plan, phone insurance, I laughed at them for paying almost $100 a month, having equally crappy customer service, being roped into extending their contract every time they made a small plan change or god forbid ordered a new phone, or wanted to switch to another carrier and had a $175 term fee for every line and on and on. No straight talk doesn't give you an i-phone but if you really wanna use one ask one of your friends to use theirs, they always wanna show them off and brag! oh no, no pandora what will I do?? This is currently the best plan available pay per min plans suck and try using one for an hour call, wow talk about cost savings!!
gregphcView April 5, 2011
Forgot to mention, by reading this i'm assuming that everyone already knows straight talk runs on the verizon network, but if you don't, ST uses the verizon network for their wireless service, meaning the phones will work pretty much anywhere that people live and need service.

Service is good , but beware they will cut you off before you have used up your minutes and you will have to borrow someone else's phone to call the customer service rep who may be nice or you may get a smart ass, like I did earlier, but called back and got a nice young man who tried his best to help. I am giving them one more month to prove themselves, but if I have to call to tell them that I haven't used up my 1000 minutes, I will be forced to return to another provider. I feel they cut you off early on the $30 plan to squeeze you into buying the $45 unlimited plan so you don't have to keep calling them doing their homework for them.

It appears that Verizon has caught on to the demand for the straight talk phones as it's almost impossible to find a qwerty refurbished phone or any good phones thru Verizon (the straight talk phones that end in C). It appears that all the good phones are on AT&T's network and that doesn't work for us because we do not get good reception in our area. Only Verizon works great. I can't afford the contract deals for any of the companies and none of them can come close to straight talks prices. I'm hoping Verizon is working on a plan to offer better, nicer phones thru straight talk. You can't beat the price for what you get!!

Josh Verne frequently provides success tips to readers of his blog, which are primarily aimed at a male audience. Men whom are looking for a successful career and better lives often turn to Josh Verne's advice which for many is life-changing. He emphasizes the need of men to keep learning new things in order to build a better life for themselves. Many men don't find success in life simply because they don't listen to the advice of others and that is the reason why Josh is there to help others succeed alongside these individuals as well.
The first item which he believed was that he should be a leader first. Leadership means to him that he is able to build a team. At an early age, he realized that he needed to involve others and explain things to them before he can expect them to understand it. His first business was in the furniture industry, where he was responsible for building up a large furniture operation from the ground up. This came over the course of a 20-year career in business and offered him the opportunity to build himself from the ground up in the business field.

This means that Josh spends a great deal of time with his family and ensuring that they are happy. However, this does not mean that he is not an individual without focus. Having a good focus on his goals means that he's able to achieve what he sets out to do while still being able to keep his mind focused on what he needs to accomplish in order to do so.
On top of this success-oriented philosophy, Josh is also a big believer in creating win-win situations which benefit everyone involved. According to Entrepreneur.com, what also distinguishes him from other business leaders is that he is a firm believer in that either everyone rises or falls together. Thus, he is willing to step in and ensure that this is what happens if someone were to not pull their weight.
Finally, Josh Verne is a firm believer in pursuing your passions. Passion is what he feels that drives individuals to pursue and achieve great things. This is the real secret to success: being able to enjoy what you do on a daily basis. He insists that every day should be the best day of your life, and that every day should not be drudgery and the same boring thing which is done over and over again.

On Tuesday night, the town of Windsor Locks approved hiring an independent investigator to look into the fatal crash involving a former police officer.
Michael Koistinen is accused of hitting and killing Henry Dang, 15, the night of Oct, 29. State Police have said Koistinen was drinking the night of the crash.
There has been a public outcry since the crash because Koistinen's father, Sgt. Robert Koistinen, was one of the first to respond to the scene and some believe there was a cover-up.
On Tuesday night, town officials and residents voted to approve hiring Frank Rudewicz, a former Hartford police officer and current employee for Marcum Accountants and Advisors. Rudewicz has conducted several independent investigations of various police department and agencies.
"It is time for an outside agency because, obviously, the inside is not doing what it's supposed to be doing," said resident Mary Campbell, who supported hiring Rudewicz.
Hiring Rudewicz. will cost the town more than $30,000, and some at Tuesday night's meeting were critical of the cost.
"My main concern is that I'm totally against paying $30,000," resident Karlene Crooks said. "Obviously, there are gonna be lawsuits and we need to put money away for those lawsuits."
The First Selectman said the cost shouldn't come in the way of finding out the truth.
"It is a tragic event," Steven Wawruck said. "There is a 15-year-old that's dead. Whatever the cost, we need to find out what occurred. We know what happened up to the accident. What happened after that?"

My husband and I have two rescue dogs adopted from Wake County SPCA, a six-year-old German Shepherd/Chow mix named Winston (after Winston Churchill) and a two-year-old German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog named Gizmo. There are few things we like to do more than hang out with these two furry boys, who really like exploring, snacking and napping—much like their parents! Follow along as I take you on a tour of my favorite dog-friendly hangouts to check out this summer.
Being local suburbanites, Bombshell is a great place to meet our friends and get our pups out of the house. Bombshell has six IPAs on tap right now, and food trucks are on-site from Thursday–Saturday. There are picnic tables outside and a playground for your kiddos. Dogs are allowed inside the taproom, which is perfect for rainy days.
There is nothing better than people-watching outside The Raleigh Times with your dogs. This is a great lunch or dinner spot in the summer, and after an afternoon of playing at the dog park, it feels amazing to relax in the shade.
One of our rescues is just a gigantic furball. He loves hiking at the Eno because it is shaded, and he can jump in the river to cool off. I would venture to say that this is his favorite spot for us to take him walking! The trails are easy to hike and make for a great afternoon adventure.
I'm not sure I've ever been to Ponysaurus when it hasn't been packed with dogs and their owners. This is another great spot for food trucks and delicious beer! It's a nice stop before heading to Bark in the Park at DBAP. The outdoor space is welcoming and open, and there is a ton of seating for you and your favorite four-legged friends.
Lake Johnson has a great walking trail for dogs and a nice views where you can stop and relax. Gizmo is definitely a runner while Winston likes to stroll, and Lake Johnson allows both of them to get their favorite type of exercise.
Coker Arboretum offers nice trails and shade for hot days. The arboretum winds through UNC's campus and makes for a lazy afternoon of strolling and relaxing on the lawn or on the benches throughout. Don't forget to bring water for your pets!
There is nothing better than a good day of hiking at Umstead Park. We love to come here for a hike in the morning, and then head over to Gizmo Brewery for refreshments and snacks if there is a food truck. Umstead offers a variety of trails and we can switch up depending on how much time we have or how exhausted we want our boys to be.
I would be hard pressed to not mention Gizmo Brew Works, since one of our little guys is named after it! His foster family changed his name to Gizmo in part due to his crazy ears, but mostly because of their favorite brewery. This watering hole is a fantastic place to bring the dogs—they're allowed inside the taproom and out on the patio, plus there's plenty of space around the industrial park to take them strolling when they get restless. I suggest subscribing to Gizmo Brew Works' email listserv for events and food truck updates!
It's no secret that I love Raleigh's Oakwood neighborhood, so its dog park is one of my favorites. This is a weekend treat for us to check out and always makes for a fun time. The dog park is very well maintained and busy, and it's always nice to take a walk through Oakwood to cool the boys off after their play date.
This may be my favorite event of the summer! We always treat the guys to one Bark in the Park so they can socialize with new buddies and catch some baseball. Gizmo usually relaxes under the seats, while Winston is the welcoming committee for new doggie friends that enter the section.
