Locals in police chase face multiple charges
The two local men who allegedly stole vehicles and were caught after two separate police chases in Laurel over the weekend - one involving gunfire - were charged in Justice Court in Billings Tuesday.
Austin Allen Allery, 18, and Hayden O'Neil Lowry, 20, appeared by video in court Tuesday afternoon.
Allery faces felony charges of assault on a police officer, attempted theft of a police car, criminal mischief for damages to the car and equipment, and misdemeanor obstruction of a police officer.
Lowry faces felony charges of robbery for threatening a motorist with a handgun while stealing his car, criminal endangerment for the high-speed chase, and criminal mischief for damage to vehicles and property.
Bond was set at $75,000 for Allery and $100,000 for Lowry.
According to Justice Court records, at about 12:45 Monday Laurel Police Officer Bill Brew was looking for two men involved in thefts of at least one vehicle and the theft of guns.
Brew located Allery and Lowry wearing balaclavas that covered most of their faces. They stated that their vehicle had broken down and they received a ride to Laurel.
When asked for their identification, Allery allegedly said his name was Dereck Richardson and he was born June 29, 2010. When asked about his date of birth, he allegedly said he was not good at math.
The officer attempted to place Allery in handcuffs when both men took off on foot.
The records state Allery ran straight for another officer's patrol vehicle. Brew prevented Allery from closing the door. Allery put the vehicle into drive, but because of the icy conditions, the tires spun and didn't move very far.
Brew sat on Allery's left leg while he was in the driver's seat and Brew put the vehicle into park. Allery again put it in gear and tried to take off. Brew put it in park and took the keys.
Allery allegedly hit Brew several times and Brew hit Allery. Allery repeatedly tried to remove Brew's handgun and allegedly said the officer needed to kill him. A third officer arrived and Allery was placed into handcuffs.
While placing him in the patrol vehicle, Allery allegedly resisted and kicked at the rear window, tried to remove his handcuffs and damaged the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Lowry had allegedly headed on foot to the nearby WalMart and Officer Stan Langve followed.
Langve searched WalMart but wasn't able to locate Lowry.
A Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office deputy located Lowry in the Pizza Hut parking lot.
Lowry reportedly had a handgun, tripped, fell and the gun fell out. He took it and allegedly pointed it at a man and stole his 2006 Ford F-350 truck.
A second citizen attempted to block Lowry by pinning the truck in. Lowry took off and both vehicles were damaged.
A responding deputy's patrol car slid into a snow bank, so he exited the vehicle and fired three shots into the vehicle. The deputy said he hit the vehicle but did not know if he hit Lowry. Lowry fled the area at a high rate of speed.
Several agencies pursued Lowry, and eventually officers were able to lay down some spike strips to puncture the tires of the stolen vehicle.
Lowry allegedly attempted to aim for one of the officers in an attempt to avoid the strip.
Lowry lost control of the vehicle on Highway 10 West in Yellowstone County. He crashed the stolen vehicle into an embankment, causing further damage.
Lowry had been shot in the hand and was bleeding heavily and began to vomit. Officers administered first aid until the ambulance arrived.
According to court records, Allery is being charged with:
— felony assault on a peace officer for allegedly striking Brew;
— felony theft for allegedly attempting to steal a patrol vehicle belonging to the Laurel Police Department;
— felony criminal mischief as part of a common scheme for allegedly damaging the patrol vehicle and other equipment with damages amounting in excess of $1,500;
— misdemeanor obstructing a peace officer or other public servant for allegedly providing a false name to the officer.
According to court records, Lowry is being charged with:
— felony robbery by allegedly threatening the owner of a 2006 Ford F-350 with a handgun when stealing his car;
— felony criminal endangerment for allegedly driving at a high rate of speed while attempting to elude officers and putting officers and other motorists at risk;
— felony criminal mischief as part of a common scheme for allegedly damaging several vehicles and other property.
The maximum punishment for assault on a peace officer is 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine; felony theft is 10 years and a $50,000 fine; robbery is $50,000 and 40 years; felony criminal mischief is 10 years and $50,000; and misdemeanor obstructing a peace officer is six months and a $500 fine.
Before the Monday incident, Laurel authorities were looking for the two men after they allegedly fled a traffic stop Saturday night and led officers on a high-speed chase before the truck went off an embankment and rolled. They fled the scene. Laurel police said the truck had been stolen in Miles City, and firearms, some confirmed stolen, were flung from the wreck.
Lowry and Allery will be arraigned in district court in Billings on March 6.
More charges are pending.

Local gov't study question to be on ballot
Updated story
Custer County voters will be asked on the June 3 primary ballot to approve funding not to exceed two mills to fund a five-member board to study local government.
County commissioners passed a resolution this week calling for an election on a local government review, which must be on the ballot every 10 years. The city also will pose the question to voters.
Should the measure pass, members of the community will be recruited to serve on the board. Those members would be chosen in the General Election in November.
A county mill is valued at $16,920, so two mills would equal $33,840.
Other minor housekeeping matters dealt with by the commissioners this week included selecting D.A. Davidson to underwrite the bonds for the detention center project. Bids for the general contractor for that project will be opened on March 21. That is the same date when bids will be opened for environmental abatement and clean-up of the 1906 jail before its demolition and for cleanup of the Emergency Operating Center before remodeling begins there.
Monday, March 10 at 5 p.m. is the filing deadline for county offices. Filing for re-election are Linda Corbett, clerk and recorder; Douglas Ellingson, superintendent of rural schools; Tony Harbaugh, sheriff and coroner; Donald R. Neese, justice of the peace; and Wyatt Glade, county attorney.
Vicki Hamilton has re-filed for commissioner of District One, and Keith Holmlund has filed for re-election to his position in District Two.
Jason Strouf has also filed for commissioner of District One.
Additionally, Katherine Sparks of Plevna has been hired as deputy county attorney.

British vehicles might have their faults, but if there is a better combination to turn up at the boat ramp with, I have yet to see it :
The only problem was the hour I spent, on average, talking to people about the Wayfarer, and (occasionally) the Jag, every time I launched, and again when I got back to the ramp.

Just wanted to show how personal is ones choice of boat,mate ,dog. I've been so fortunate in building the most beautiful vessel with the most beautiful woman in the world.I'm a cat person but two out of three's not bad. It's possible (just) that some others may not be in complete agreement but when the long trick's over some may say "class act" and they are entitled to their opinions. In the meantime the pride of building , ownership,neglect of vessels in the yard of no return can be a source of muse. Enjoyed the pics.

"She seemed very small (in point of fact she was seven tons), something over thirty feet in length and nine in beam, a size very suitable to week-ends in the Solent, for such as liked that sort of thing; but that she should have come from Dover to the Baltic suggested a world of physical endeavour of which I had never dreamed. I passed to the aesthetic side. Smartness and beauty were essential to yachts, in my mind, but with the best resolves to be pleased I found little encouragement here. The hull seemed too low, and the mainmast too high; the cabin roof looked clumsy, and the skylights saddened the eye with dull iron and plebeian graining. What brass there was, on the tiller-head and elsewhere, was tarnished with sickly green. The decks had none of that creamy purity which Cowes expects, but were rough and grey, and showed tarry exhalations round the seams and rusty stains near the bows. The ropes and rigging were in mourning when contrasted with the delicate buff manilla so satisfying to the artistic eye as seen against the blue of a June sky at Southsea. Nor was the whole effect bettered by many signs of recent refitting. An impression of paint, varnish, and carpentry was in the air; a gaudy new burgee fluttered aloft; there seemed to be a new rope or two, especially round the diminutive mizzen-mast, which itself looked altogether new. But all this only emphasized the general plainness, reminding one of a respectable woman of the working-classes trying to dress above her station, and soon likely to give it up.
That the ensemble was businesslike and solid even my untrained eye could see. Many of the deck fittings seemed disproportionately substantial. The anchor-chain looked contemptuous of its charge; the binnacle with its compass was of a size and prominence almost comically impressive, and was, moreover the only piece of brass which was burnished and showed traces of reverent care. Two huge coils of stout and dingy warp lay just abaft the mainmast, and summed up the weather-beaten aspect of the little ship. I should add here that in the distant past she had been a lifeboat, and had been clumsily converted into a yacht by the addition of a counter, deck, and the necessary spars. She was built, as all lifeboats are diagonally, of two skins of teak, and thus had immense strength, though, in the matter of looks, all a hybrid's failings."

"By going through an hour-and-a-half practice, with the number of games we have played, I may have done some damage. I will take that risk. We need to get better in two or three key areas — one is transition and one is just playing in our end. We have been flat-out sloppy.'

Three friends (Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, and Sam Rockwell) incur the wrath of a violent L.A. gangster (Woody Harrelson) by kidnapping his prized shih tzu in this black comedy from In Bruges director Martin McDonagh. Aspiring screenwriter Marty (Farrell) has a brilliant screenplay called Seven Psychopaths floating around in his head; unfortunately he's usually to hungover to make any real progress on it. Meanwhile, Marty's best friend Billy (Rockwell) has some great ideas for the story, but he's reluctant to offer input without invitation. A down-on-his-luck actor, Billy pays his rent by running a lucrative dognapping scam with smooth-talking Hans (Walken). Just when frustrated Marty begins to fear that all of his ideas have dried up, however, Billy shows up with an adorable shih zhu swiped from a quick-tempered gangster (Harrelson), and a desperate trip into the desert finds the ideas flowing like drinks at an open bar. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Firstly, I want to say that Valencia is a lovely city and I hope this doesn't put anyone off teaching there. Now, that out of the way, lets get down to the nitty gritty. I worked for Inlingua who are a reputable school and are a well known academy around the world. However their school in Valencia was the most unprofessional institution I have worked for. During my 8 month stint 9 teachers I knew of left. This turnover in itself highlights that there were problems. So, where to start, well basically the teachers were treated like dogs. There was no respect ever from anyone in this academy except from one recepionist who left after 2 months. We had to nearly beg for our money outside the director's office, wait up to an hour at times, and were constantly fobbed off coming back different days to get money. Another issue was that within the academy no one spoke English and I had okay Spanish. This was a joke and made a complicated situation even more fustrating. The DOS was not even a DOS, she had no teaching experience and came from a business background. She caused alot of teachers serious headaches with her incompetance. Often, I was at a business in the city where I had a business class that the business had cancelled but the school had failed to inform me. No sorry or apology when this happened.
Whatever about the Inlingua method which I found crap they had no materials for the business English classes. They sometimes had one headway book for a certain level but no cd for listening and no teacher books. A shambles. I told them about this often but they never did anything about it. Luckily I have some good books and materials of my own which I used. Not that this mattered because we were never checked up on so we could have been doing anything. There was no weekly meetings. No constructive communication. The school only got business beacuse of the Inlingua name. I know that this is a franchise and its the people not the brand that are accountable but I'm getting in touch with Inlingua headquarters to alert them about these guys. Any one to one students I taught at the school wanted me to teach them outside of the school because they didn't like the school and dealing with the administration. Re the money I did get paid into my bank account (a week and a half into the month) but I got my travel expenses in cash as they didn't pay tax on that. Every month was a pain trying to collect this and dealing with their avoidance. Our last months wages I collected in cash as my girlfirend worked some hours there too. They tried to tell me vehemently that one month was paid and had actually forged the receipt to prove this. It was laughable. I asked to see the receipt which was really badly forged, I pointed out this while maintaining my cool, then the boss was fussing around and then gave me the money. I was lucky because I heard that some teachers have not been paid their last months wages from them. I never lost it at them in the school beacuse it was too surreal. Hopefully Inlingua head honchos will sort these cowboys out after I email them. Avoid them at all cost.

In a chaotic world where the oil wells have dried up and civilization has devolved into a savage land of warlords and barbarians in a fight for "juice" two warriors stand tall as they face off in a battle for the ages...
Announcing the commanders for our October event at OXCC
We're really excited to have two warriors that are so well-matched and well-qualified for our first event at this awesome venue.
Our first commander has served as my XO at an event at EMR. Her organizational and leadership skills were invaluable, and her ability to motivate and make tactical decisions was very impressive to watch. In the end we pulled off a sound victory and had fun doing it. She also commanded the EMR Extravaganza last year and scored a big win. She brings with her members of her team, as well as associates from Joint Fury.
From their home field at EMR comes Michelle "Pickles" McCarthy of Assassins Guild faction of Joint Fury.
You might describe her opponent as "infamous." He is a veteran commander of 8 events. A founding member of Ragnarok and a long-standing member of one of scenario paintball's most notorious teams. He has been a part of many Most Valuable Team awards, as well as receiving MoFo and personal MVP awards across the country in his long career of scenario play.
We are proud to have George Shaffer of Delta Paintball Team commanding his own mob of crazies
This should be an awesome event for everyone who plays for either side!

A first glance, this shirt looks dirty!
Now all those large animals I get into fights with wont stand a chance.
What??? OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get it. All the animals are performing the wrasslin moves named after them. Clever.
There's something not quite right about the "chicken wing" pose there.
I would have impulse bought this, but no way at $13 for offshore cotton. :-(
Or have we gone back to AA for Men?
EDIT: AH HA! I'll consider the price hike for the old USA cotton. :-D
At first glance I was hoping this was a shirt about funky font names. I now get the joke.
Can we get a funky-font-name shirt in the future?
shirt.woot.com just gained 1,000,000,000 points in my book for this shirt, I'm a long time wrestling fan and this shirt was definite purchase

Chicken is getting held down.
Yeah, that chicken is taking it in the hmmm and I think it likes it. That's just not right.
What's up with the chair?
It's got some funny stuff, and is sure to generate a lot of people staring at your chest to appreciate the cartoony details.
Soooooo...just keep the whole "how long am I comfortable with people staring at my chest" thing in mind if you are a lady.
also kudos to the artist for actually illustrating how the moves are executed. its the little things like this that I think wrestling fans will appreciate
teenracer6 wrote:*$12, and TT already said this is an AA blank. Buy it.
It comes to $13 for us tax payers. I've asked woot for a tax break, or something, even make it every 10 shirts or something:
"For you poor suckers who have to pay sales tax: BUY 10 shirts, get one FREE!"... but no response.
At 200+ shirts, that's around $200 I've paid in sales tax for shirt.woots!
I know it isn't woot!'s fault, but it's reality. :-/
On the one hand it's a funny design, but on the other hand, the longer that I look at it, the more the whole thing just seems full of "What is seen cannot be unseen moments"
Any one else getting the vibe that the design is barely treading on the PG 13 side of the line?
Look out! The ninja-chameleon got a hold of the chair!
Why isn't there a "wooted weevil" move - that somehow managed to empty my wallet, while delivering stuff to my door?
scrabblefish wrote:What's up with the chair?
probably just added art. Steel Folding chairs have been a long time staple in the years of Pro Wrestling. Usually they are used as weapons

shiftkey wrote:Aww, no scorpion deathlock?
This. Rather than there being two "clutches" and the Cobra is well known as a different move by Santino anyway (oops, there goes my street cred).
Like the shirt, even though the guys doing something thats illegal in most states to the chicken.
So happy its on an AA.
To those asking about how the chair relates to the overall design:
A short "informational" video on chair shots.
Wondering why this is called "Wrestling Taxonomy". There's nothing taxonomic about the arrangement of the entries at all... O.o
Poor poor panda, he didn't even see it coming...
crimson614 wrote:Wondering why this is called "Wrestling Taxonomy". There's nothing taxonomic about the arrangement of the entries at all... O.o
I beg to differ. According to the wiki page you pointed out. "The exact definition of taxonomy varies slightly from source to source, but the core of the discipline remains: the identification, naming, and classifying of organisms."
This shirt is all about identifying, naming, and classifying these wrestling moves.
You're just not going to beat the Camel Clutch.
I'd like a shirt with a full-sized logo of the Camel, slapping the Clutch on the Iron Sheik.
As someone who wrestled (non-WWF style), seeing the double chicken wing represented wrong hurts just a little bit. The arms of the rabbit could be pulled straight down when pulled up like that. The chicken wing is where the arms are pulled down and behind the person, then twisted upwards. When done correctly, nearly impossible to get out of unless you're gumby and can dislocate your shoulders while still being able to leverage them.
It dissuaded me from buying (I know, I know, stupid technicalities)...
Why the "hold" on the Boston Crab? It seems redundant, and it ruins the flow of the shirt.
In grade school there was a bully who always put me in the camel clutch. This shirt brings back painful memories.

Dos and Don'ts
Displays of Affection: "We kiss each other hello and goodbye. Don't get nervous. It's a Latin thing."—Frances Robles, Cuba reporter for the Miami Herald.
Language: "Don't get upset if people speak to you directly in Spanish. Yes, we know we are part of the rest of the country (well sort of), but a lot of our local people have lived here for more than 30 years but still don't speak English. They don't really need to. There are enough people here and visitors from South and Central America that they can speak only in their native tongues. Just tell them 'No hablo Español' and they will do their best to help you. Treat Miami as if you were visiting a foreign country, especially if you head to downtown or Calle Ocho. It is part of our beauty, our style. Try not to lose your patience—someone will help you eventually."—Miami chef and native Michelle Bernstein, owner of Michy's restaurant.
Latin Culture: They don't call it the Gateway of the Americas for nothing. This isn't your typical American city: Latin style, culture, and language prevail. "The only thing I tell visitors is that living in Miami is almost like living in the United States."—Tony Nieves, president, Marca Hispanic, a Miami-based Hispanic marketing communications firm.
Punctuality: Don't give up on somebody if they aren't there on time. They're on Miami time. Everybody here arrives fashionably late. Very late. "Everybody is always late. Count on people showing up 30 minutes to an hour late."—Gisela Vazquez, Miami resident.
Cuban Politics: Although the atmosphere is slightly more tolerant than the 1980s and '90s, when musicians and other artists visiting from Cuba were threatened and picketed, communist sympathizers still won't feel welcome here. "If you have anything nice to say about Fidel, go to Havana, not Calle Ocho's Little Havana."—Maria Morales, senior writer based in Miami for People en Español.
Dinner: "Supper at five doesn't fly around here. Most Miami residents are eating dinner when the rest of America is going to bed. We eat late. Dinner at 8 p.m. is normal."—Lula Michna, Miami resident.
Melting Pot: In a nation founded by immigrants, Miami is the ultimate American city. Be prepared to meet people who have recently arrived and aren't tuned in to American customs. It's a refreshing change. "Be open-minded. Enjoy the city's great diversity."—Paul George, historian to the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and professor of history at Miami-Dade College.
Rushing: Everybody is in a hurry. It's a big city on a little slice of land. "Drivers can be aggressive and impatient. They'll start honking for you to go even before the light changes to green."—Teresita Machado, Miami resident.
Phrase Book
Cafecito or Café Cubano: Cuban-style espresso served in a thimble-sized cup; twice as strong as American coffee and super sweet; sip or throw it back like a shot.
Café Con Leche: A cup of hot, frothed milk with a separate shot of Cuban coffee (to mix when ready); the Latin version of a latte.
Colada: What you get when you want to share your Cuban coffee; it comes in a large Styrofoam cup, with little plastic cups; pour and pass them around—you'll make instant friends.
Cortadito: Cuban coffee topped with steamed milk; a short café con leche.
Latin Time: The local tendency to arrive late to all events and meetings. "Oh, she's on Latin time." If a party is set for 8 p.m., don't expect guests to start arriving until 9 p.m. and even as late as 11 p.m.
Miamah: "The way natives, until the '70s, pronounced, with their slight Southern accents, Miami."—Paul George, historian to the Historical Museum of Southern Florida.
Oye: Popular way to get someone's attention, meaning "Hey, listen to me" or, on the street, a verbal wolf whistle, "Oye, mami."

Nancy Keller is a Professor of Bacteriology and Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A mycologist, Dr. Keller works with a genus of fungi called Aspergillus – many of which are potent plant and human pathogens that produce deadly mycotoxins. Her research focuses on finding those aspects of Aspergillus species that make them effective as pathogens and toxin factories.
Tiny fungi cause big problems for agriculture and human health, and the U.S. alone spends millions of dollars every year to fight the fungi that attack crops. Aspergillus fungi, in particular, cause a problem for crop plants themselves, but the bigger concern is the mycotoxins they produce: aflatoxin is one of the most potent naturally-occurring toxins ever discovered. What's more, aflatoxin and other Aspergillus toxins are carcinogenic. The bottom line? Exposure to large amounts of these fungal toxins can kill you quickly, and exposure to small amounts can kill you slowly.
On this episode, I talk with Dr. Keller about her work with Aspergillus, why we don't even know how big the fungal toxin problem is, how reproduction and toxin-making are linked in these fungi, and how we may eventually use viruses as weapons against pathogenic fungi.

A Selective Chronology of South Coast History: Origins to 1899
Many of these entries have been adapted from Nathan Douthit, A Guide to Oregon South Coast History, Oregon State University Press (1999) and Douthit, The Coos Bay Region, Coos County Historical Society (2005). Other important sources of information are Emil Peterson and Alfred Powers, A Century of Coos and Curry Coos-Curry Pioneer and Historical Association (1952), Orville Dodge, Pioneer History of Coos and Curry Counties, OR., Coos-Curry Pioneer and Historical Association (1898) and Lionel Youst, She's Tricky Like Coyote: Annie Miner Petersen, an Oregon Coast Indian Woman. Source notes within entries below reference these publications.
15,000-13,000 before present
An ice dam that blocked the Clark Fork River in western Montana, and which had created 2000 foot deep Lake Missoula, burst. Shooting out a a rate ten times the combined flow of all the rivers of the world, over 500 cubic miles of water thundered toward the Pacific Ocean with flood speeds of approximately 65 miles per hour. The ice dam eventually reformed and the flooding sequence may have occurred an additional 40 different times on an average of 50 year intervals. Huge amounts of soil were stripped from lands east of the Cascades and deposited in the Pacific. Currents and winds eventually deposited massive amounts of sand along the South Coast from the Coos River north to the Siuslaw River, creating today's Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
10,000 (+/-?) years bp
The earliest radiocarbon dating of human habitation on the South Coast at Indian Sands, (near Boardman State Park) indicate that a human culture developed by this date. Over the millennia, the original people here learned to deal with the climate and geography of the Oregon South Coast.
5000-4000 years bp
Radiocarbon dating of Native American artifacts from Bullards State park excavations. The picture to the left is of tools used by early Native Americans.
The earliest recorded approach by Europeans to the South Coast occurred when Spanish sea captains Juan Rodriguez and Bartolome Ferrelo explored what is now the coastline of Curry County. Cape Ferrelo is the first point of Oregon land named by the Europeans. (see Guide, p 4)
British explorer Sir Francis Drake, with his ship the Golden Hinde, took shelter in the South Cove of Cape Arago. In 1977 a commemorative plaque honoring Drake was placed at South Cove. A replica of his ship (see photo right) entered Coos Bay in 1987. (see Guide, p 115)
Spanish explorer Martin Aguilar explored the South Coast by sea and named Cape Blanco. (see Guide, p 4)
Between 9-10 a.m. on January 26th, a 9.0 earthquake rocked the west coast of the Pacific Northwest. The quake, from the fault line of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, created a tsunami that inundated the bays and sloughs of the South Coast. (see www.pnsn.org)
British Captain James Cook sailed along the Oregon coast, sighting and naming present day Cape Arago. (see Century, p 2 and Guide, p 6.)
The first known contact with South Coast Indians by coastal fur traders occurred when American Captain James Baker's Jenny entered the mouth of the Umpqua River and traded with the Natives for a period of about twelve days. (see Guide, p 6)
British Captain George Vancouver anchored his ships just south of Cape Blanco at present day Port Orford and traded with the natives. (see Century, pp 5-6 and Guide, p 7)
On February 8th, William Clark, wintering at Fort Clatsop near the Columbia with Meriwether Lewis and the Corp of Discovery, reported the existence of the "Cook-koo-oose nation". The photo of his journal entry below says: "I saw Several prisoners from this nation with the Clatsops and Kilamox, they are much fairer than the common Indians of this quarter, and do not flatten their heads." This is the first written mention of the Coos Indians by Euro-Americans. (see Guide, p 8 and Lewis and Clark journals)
Hanis Coos Indian villages at Tenmile Lake were entirely wiped out by smallpox. Some villages around Coos Bay were also depopulated. (see Tricky Like Coyote , p 8)
Hudson's Bay Company's Alexander McLeod explored from the Umpqua River region south through Coos Bay, up the South Fork of the Coquille River (Powers Valley area) to the Rogue River. He was assessing the potential for fur trade in the area. (see Century, pp 9-10 and Guide, p 8)
David Douglas, a British botanist for who the Douglas fir is named, discovered and described the myrtle tree as he found it along the Umpqua River. (see Guide, p 94)
One of America's most important explorers, Jedediah Smith, led an expedition of nineteen men and about 300 horses north from California along the beaches of the South Coast of Oregon to the Umpqua River. They were the first white Americans to travel by land through the South Coast. Due to poor relations Smith's party established with the Indians, all but Smith and two of his men were attacked and killed by the natives at current day Bolen Island at the Umpqua River. (see Century, pp 11-18 and Guide, pp 27-28)
A measles outbreak struck Indian villages on Coos Bay. Native population declined from over 2000 at its peak to about 800 by the time of white settlement in 1853. (see Tricky Like Coyote, p 9)
A party of San Franciscans called the "Klameth Exploring Expedition" established a townsite on the north spit of the Umpqua River entrance they called Umpqua City. That same year a businessman named Levi Scott established a White settlement 26 miles up the Umpqua River that was called Scottsburg.(see Guide, pp 16 and 158)
In October, a two-masted brig named "Kate Heath" became the first U.S. ship known to cross over the Coos River bar and enter Coos Bay. It had mistakenly entered Coos Bay on its way to deliver immigrants and supplies to a new white settlement on the Umpqua. Upper Hanis Coos villagers abandoned a plan to ambush the ship and destroy it when other native leaders talked them out of it. When word reached Patrick Flanagan about the location of the ship, he followed the beach route south from the Umpqua to Coos Bay to direct the ship north. Flanagan later decided to settle in south Coos Bay and became one of the most important pioneers of Marshfield. (see Tricky Like Coyote, p 14)
Captain William Tichenor landed a party of men at Port Orford to establish the first White coastal settlement. Later that year a skirmish with Indians occurred at nearby Battle Rock. The sketch below is from Harper's Magazine, 1856. (see Guide, pp 63-65 and also Pioneer History, pp 21-31 and also Century, pp 37-40)
In January, the Captain Lincoln wrecked on the North Spit of Coos Bay. 52 U.S. soldiers from the ship established "Camp Cast-A-Way" on the spit while awaiting rescue. They met and traded with local Indians, and explored what they called "Kowes Bay". Upon their rescue, they brought attention to the area. Miners, settlers, and merchants arrived a year later. (see Century, pp 44-45)
In May, nineteen men led by Capt. William H. Harris and P.B. Marple started the "Coose Bay Commercial Company" and established the first White settlement in Coos County on the bay, calling it Empire City (see photo below). (see Century, pp 45-48) Captain Harris was the first citizen to file a land claim at Empire City: the first land filed upon in the county under any land laws of the United States. (see Pioneer History, pp 131-132 and Tricky Like Coyote, pp 17-19). Awhile after Empire City was established, Mrs. Ester Lockhart was among the first three White women to settle in the county where she started the first school. (see Century, pp 213 and 272-273)
In July, gold was discovered at Whiskey Run beach north of the mouth of the Coquille River. A camp called Randolph was soon established there. The boom town existed only a year or two as stormy weather and heavy seas eroded the black sand beach by 1855. (see Guide, pp 112-113)
The first sawmill in Coos County, most likely to supply the Randolph miners, was built by George Wasson and partners near Bullards on the lower Coquille River. It was powered by an undershot water wheel. A small schooner was also built near Randolph to haul supplies between the mining camp and Empire City. This may have been the first boat building by Whites along the South Coast. (see Guide, pp 112-113)
J.C. Tolman from the Coose Bay Commercial Company built a cabin on upper Coos Bay at a place he called Marshfield after his old home in Massachusetts. (see Century, p 100)
Coos County was officially established by the Oregon Territorial legislature on December 22nd. Empire City is designated at the first seat of county government.
In January about 40 miners from Randolph killed at least 16 Miluk Coos Indians near the mouth of the Coquille River. (see Tricky Like Coyote, pp 21-22)
On July 3rd, the new Coos County Board designated the first official county road. "The Beach Route", as it came to be known, started at the Empire City wharf, also called "The Hollering Place". After yelling for transportation across to the North Spit, passengers would take a horse drawn wagon up the beach, crossing the mouth of Tenmile Creek, to the Umpqua River. There passengers could get river and stage transportation inland. (see Century, pp 480-481 and Guide, pp 163-165) For several decades, beach travel was one of the few available routes across Oregon because the landscape made road and rail construction difficult. In 1913, Governor Oswald West convinced the state legislature to designate all of Oregon's beach property as public land primarily to preserve a vital north-south transportation link. He could have pointed to the precedence set by the Coos County "Beach Route".
During the summer, Joel Palmer, Superintendent of Indian Affairs of the Oregon Territory, conducted treaty talks with tribes on the south coast. Although virtually all tribes signed the treaty, it was never ratified by Congress. (see Tricky Like Coyote, pp 24-25)
The Rogue River Indian War broke out in the fall of 1855.
Henry Luse and Asa M. Simpson began operation of the first sawmills on Coos Bay by this time: Luse at Empire City and Simpson at North Bend. (see Century, p 426 and also Pioneer History, p 463)
Following the Rogue River Indian War, Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians were held temporarily at a reservation near Ft. Umpqua on the north shore of the Umpqua River. Lower Coquille Indians were removed by ship to Portland and then, in 1859, marched to the Great Coastal Reservation near Yachats. (see Guide, pp 17-18 and Tricky Like Coyote, p 42)
The brig Blanco was the first ship built on Coos Bay at North Bend. (see Century, p 106)
The first lighthouse built on the Oregon coast was constructed on the sandy south beach of the Umpqua River. However it was washed away by a storm in 1861. The current Umpqua Lighthouse, on the cliffs above the river's mouth, first flashed its light in 1894. (see Guide, p 155)
Oregon became the 33rd state on Valentines Day, February 14th.
"The Baltimore Colony", led by pioneer Dr. Henry Hermann, settled in the upper Coquille Valley near Broadbent. (see Century, pp 48-53 and Guide, p 100)
The Port Orford Meteorite was discovered by government geologist Dr. John Evans, but its location was soon "lost" when Evans died. (see Century, pp 504-505)
Coos and Lower Umpqua Indians were removed from Ft. Umpqua to Yachats Prairie on the central Oregon Coast. (see Tricky Like Coyote, pp 33-41 and Guide, p 18)
Henry Meyers platted the first town site in the Coquille River Valley and called it Meyersville. It was later called Ott and finally Myrtle Point when it was incorporated in 1887.(see CB Region, p 31)
Acknowledging the ever-growing ship traffic along the South Coast, the Cape Arago Light on Gregory Point, near Sunset Bay, began operation (see right photo). This was the first permanent lighthouse established on the Oregon Coast. (see Century, pp 119-121)
John Pershbaker established a sawmill and store at Marshfield creating a boom in that area (see Century, pp 100-101).
A huge Coos County fire burned 90,000 acres of old growth Douglas Fir in what is known thereafter as "the big burn". (see Tricky Like Coyote, p 53) The fire caused massive environmental damage. As the land was now deemed unusable for settlers, it reverted back to the state of Oregon. As the timber regenerated, the land was established as Oregon's first State Forest in 1929.
The Coquille post office was established on July 1st. (see Century, p 119)
The Cape Blanco Lighthouse began operation. It was illuminated in 1875 (making it the longest running illuminated light) and is the most westerly lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. (see Guide, p 68)
The Marshfield post office was established. (see Century, pp 100)
T.M Vowell built a store on a farm owned by Titus B. Willard and began platting the town of Coquille. The town would be incorporated by 1885. (see CB Region, p 31)
The Coos Bay Wagon Road opened, connecting Coos County with the Roseburg and Umpqua River valley areas.(see Guide, pp 88-94)
David Wagner, his family, and other North Carolinians settled the upper south fork of the Coquille River. The Wagners built the "Pioneer House" at Powers. The same year, the Tower House in Empire City was built. These are currently the two oldest structures in Coos County. (see Century, pp 126-127 and Guide, pp 100-102 and 137)
Marshfield became the first incorporated town in Coos and Curry counties. (see Century, pp 101)
The first oyster bed on Coos Bay was planted at the mouth of South Slough by James O'Shin. (see Guide, p 130)
Master ship builder John Kruse of North Bend finished the Western Shore, a three-masted wooden clipper ship that is one of the largest tall ships ever built on the Pacific Coast. (see image above). In 1876 the Western Shore made a record run from Portland, Oregon to Liverpool, England in only 101 days. (see Century, pp 416- 417)
The federal government closed the Great Coastal Reservation. Many Coos, Umpqua, Siuslaw, and Coquille Indians drifted back to their South Coast homelands only to find White settlement everywhere.
The Southport Mine on Isthmus Slough opened. It proved to be one of the most successful mines of the region, producing coal through World War II. (see Guide, p 148) The miners lantern (right photo) is an artifact at the Coos History Museum & Maritime Collection
The first cheese production in the county was going strong on the Anson Rogers farm on the South Fork of the Coos River (see Century, p 341)
Captain Judah Parker started Parkersburg on the lower Coquille River. He built a sawmill and shipyard at the site. (see Guide, p 84)
The Bandon post office was established by George Bennett, a pioneer who had settled the area a few years earlier. The first settlement had been called Averrill but was changed to the name of Bennett's hometown in Ireland. (see Century, p 111)
Curry County's first newspaper, the Port Orford Post, was published.
Congress appropriated money for a jetty at the mouth of the Coquille River.
The settlement known as Dairyville took on the official name of Langlois after the name of an early settler and current postmaster. (see Century, p 443 and Guide, p 74.)
The first salmon cannery on the Coquille River was established near Parkersburg. It was operated by the Gatchell family. The CCHS photo to the right is labelled "A salmon catch on Coos Bay". (see Century, p 443)
The first splash dam in the Pacific Northwest was built by Charles Granholm on the North Fork of the Coos River. (see Dow Beckham, Swift Flows the River, pp 31-32) The photo to the right is of the Aasen Bros splash dam on Middle Creek, Coquille River in 1912.
Charles McFarlin introduced cranberries to Coos County. His new variety soon became a national standard. The CCHS image below shows his first bog on the South Coast located at the North Slough near current day Hauser.
Coquille was incorporated as a city. (see Century, p 119 and CB Region, p 31)
Binger Hermann, son of Baltimore Colony leader Dr. Henry Hermann who had pioneered Broadbent, began service as a U.S. Representative to Congress. He served 16 years as a Congressman and is the only Coos County citizen to ever serve in that capacity. (see www.infoplease.com)
Myrtle Point was incorporated as a city. (see Century, p 116 and CB Region, p 31)
The Louis was constructed in North Bend under the guidance of John Kruse. It was the first five-masted schooner built in the U.S. (see Century, p 411)
E. Westen laid out the town site of Riverton on the Coquille River in the fall. The post office was established the following year. (see Century, p 123)
Ellensburg became known as Gold Beach and a wagon road was completed from there to Coos County.
The "Coos County Pioneer Association" was established on November 5 at Coquille. Judge David Lowe served as first president. This was the founding of the current Coos County Historical Society, the second oldest local historical society in Oregon. Orville Dodge, the association's first secretary, printed the first written history of the region seven years later: Pioneer History of Coos and Curry Counties (see Century, pp 318-319 and Pioneer History pp iii-iv)
The town of Bandon was incorporated. (see Century, p 111)
The first electrical plant was established in the county at Marshfield.
The Sun newspaper and job printing shop opened for business on Front Street in Marshfield. It moved to its present location in 1911. When editor Jesse Luse died in 1944, it was the longest running weekly newspaper in the state. In the 1970s the Sun Printing Museum was established. (see Guide, pp 144-145)
The Coos Bay Creamery Association, later called the Coos Bay Mutual Creamery, was formed on Coos River near the Dan McIntosh Ranch. The photo below of sample milk bottle caps in Coos County is courtesy of the CCHS. (see Century, pp 342 and Coos Bay Region, p 7)

"I love how pretty and classy these notes and labels are. The print on the invitation and label is a bit small but easily remedied with increase in font size."
"Small card with soft colors—perfect. Text easy to customize and to place. Wanted an 'I Wish for You...' Card for baby shower, and this fit the bill perfectly."
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"I loved that there were thank you cards that matched the invitation that I chose, however, I would have preferred to have a picture uploaded with it, and this particular invitation/thank you card set doesn't allow you to have a picture"
"I love the elegant design with flowers that appear almost hand-painted in water colors on both sides and the texture of the paper is very nice. The teal color is my favorite and appropriate for either male or female receivers."

"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."

David Segal's February 24 article on veterinary medicine brought important public attention to economic issues affecting a vital health profession. Unfortunately, his presentation of worst-case scenarios paints a bleak picture that begs for context.
Building a narrative around a recent graduate with accumulated student debt that is twice the national average ($312,000) is not representative of most students ($151,672). Most students pay in-resident tuition, which is more than 50% lower than the non-resident cost of tuition. Also, the annual cost of attendance figure cited by the reporter includes almost $20,000 annually for expenses such as room and board, books and supplies, and personal expenses, including transportation, which would be incurred no matter what the degree.
What sets graduates of veterinary medicine apart from many of those with other degrees is that they stand an excellent chance of gaining employment in their chosen profession.
The employment data reported by the New York Times comes from the annual American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) new graduate survey, which is sampled anywhere from two to six weeks before graduation. However, data from our latest research, conducted several months following graduation, show that 98.4% of 2011 U.S. graduates and 97.7% of 2012 graduates report being employed in veterinary medicine at least six months after graduation. That's an impressive employment rate by any standard, and one that contrasts sharply with the dire picture presented in the article – and the nation's 7.9% unemployment rate.
The starting salary data as presented in the article ($46,971) is skewed because it includes lower salaries associated with the approximately 30% of graduates who seek post-DVM internships and residency programs, which are paid training opportunities similar to what physicians undertake. The same AVMA data set describes the median entry-level salary for first-year practitioners as $65,404; not enough, agreed, but better. It is also important to note that these are starting salaries that increase predictably and positively as new graduates gain experience.
As stewards of this profession, we are very concerned about the economic challenges facing students and the profession and my colleagues and I in the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) are working diligently to address these. Our students often pursue a veterinary medical education after having worked in clinical practices, on ranches and farms and in biomedical research laboratories. They understand the breadth and potential of the profession. To assure that they also appreciate the initial investment necessary to join any health profession, we have taken measures to develop an enterprise-wide "financial literacy" program that helps students take a more strategic approach to financing their education.
Mr. Segal seems to assert that America's long-standing love affair with their family pets -- and by extrapolation, their need for a safe food supply and advanced biomedical research -- is on the wane. Our profession has developed its current capacity in response to 30 years of building public demand. The Great Recession was a game-changer, but it is short-sighted to disregard a profession that is cited as among the most respected in the health sector and that provides life-long career satisfaction for most of its members.
None of this is to belie the important thesis of this article: the cost of a veterinary medical education is high and veterinarians' salaries should be higher. Walk into one of our nation's colleges of veterinary medicine and you'll see it's not much different than a human medical school (save perhaps for the skeletons used in anatomy labs). Training medical professionals in multidisciplinary learning laboratories to provide the quality of care our society deserves is not cheap.
The rising cost of modern medical education has been made even more challenging by the fact that state governments have been inexorably defunding higher education for years. From 2010-2012, for example, our colleges experienced $104 million in budget reductions.
As I write this, veterinarians are in the field working to identify and prevent infectious diseases that could spark global pandemics. They are on farms and in processing facilities, making sure there is food on our plates and that it is safe to eat. And they are in laboratories helping find cures for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other shared maladies. Veterinarians are rightfully recognized as One Health professionals who contribute across the health spectrum to animal, human and environmental well being.
The profession of veterinary medicine is an essential national resource. We welcome a dialogue about our profession and invite greater public and private support. As a first step, we need to make sure that our understanding of the issues is structured upon objective and balanced information, so that we do not deter or discourage talented students with the wherewithal to take on the challenges and rewards of a veterinary career.
Indeed, we should do all that we can to educate, motivate and support such students, for the sake of ourselves and our nation.

It's been a very long time since a new BenQ home cinema projector crossed our path. August 2008, to be precise - and even that model was a cheapo LCD job rather than one of its traditionally impressive DLP home theatre specials.
The last DLP model, in fact, was the W5000, way back in May 2008. But today, at long last, the sequel to that excellent model, the cunningly titled W6000, is finally sat on our projector stand.
And it looks like it means business, thanks to an unusually large body for a sub-£3,000 machine - especially as its inherent chunkiness is rather emphasised by a rather cumbersome high-sided design that falls comfortably short of Sony's recently tested VPL-HW15 projector in the sculpting stakes.
That's not to say the W6000 is actually ugly, though. Its finish is deep and glossy enough to make it look at least a bit posh, and the slightly different colour and finish of the rounded, raised section around the centrally mounted lens is a cute touch.
Having just mentioned the lens, I might as well add here that the W6000 supports the addition of a Panamorph lens if you want to display a true 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
The only serious concern I'd have about the design is that there's quite a large vent in the front left corner of the projector (as you look at it), from which there's slightly more light leakage than I'd ideally like to see. It's not bad enough to seriously disturb your viewing, but it does at least suggest that maybe the W6000's chassis isn't quite as clever about dissipating heat and noise as some of its rivals. More on this later.
The W6000's connections are exactly as we'd expect. Which is to say they include two HDMIs, a D-Sub PC port, a component video input, an RS-232 for external control, and a 12V trigger output for automatically firing up a motorised screen. Further multimedia hopes for the W6000 were momentarily raised by the discovery of a USB input, too, but on closer examination this port - a Type mini B affair - is used for servicing purposes only.
Getting the W6000 up and running really couldn't be easier. You can optically shift the image horizontally or vertically via an incredibly simple little joystick arrangement on the projector's front edge, and the zoom and focus rings around the lens are both easy to operate with precision. The 1.5:1 level of zoom is pretty good too.
I've read about new firmware for this model that changes the dynamic iris operation to make it quieter... I don't suppose you do updates?
I'm currently comparing this to the Panasonic PT AE 4000 and the Epson TW4400 (8500 in US) and with the projector overhead on a shelf at the back noise is one of my concerns! My preference is for the PT AE 4000 but I'm waiting on a demo with the Epson and the Panasonic. I'll have to see if they have the BenQ in too to get a DLP comparison.

Hopefully, the United States has ended its unilateral policies of interfering in the internal affairs of Latin American nations and accepting the principle that each nation decides its own course of democracy. Honduras President Manuel Zelaya was ousted by the nation's military after the Supreme Court said he was attempting to violate the constitution by allowing a president to run for another term of office. His actions in attempting to end constitutional guarantees against one man remaining in the presidency for a long period of time are similar to those practiced by his mentor, Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela. The same sense of grandiosity is heard in Zelaya about the need to save the people by having eternal power. "Today, I feel like I have sufficient spiritual strength, blessed with the blood of Christ, to be able to arrive there(home) and raise the crucifix."
The OAS, the UN, the United States oppose the military ousting of Zelaya. However, the solution is simple, have the good president serve out his term, end efforts to change the constitution and stand clear of running for president. Hopefully, he would admit he is not the second coming of Jesus Christ and allow some other competent person to be president.

A little more than two weeks ago, Colts wide reciever Austin Collie suffered his fourth on-field concussion of the past 21 months. The word "retirement" was thrown around by some scribes, but Collie isn't done playing yet. And actually, he will play this Sunday versus the Bears after being medically cleared and practicing without limitations Monday.
Head coach Chuck Pagano described Collie as a "full go" in practice. "Fresh legs. Ran all over the place. Caught everything. Looked great."
Fantasy Analysis:
It's difficult to find a Colts starter I don't support this year. I am subscribing to the theory that while their current QB is worlds better than anyone who threw the ball for them last year, Indy's defense is still very rough, which means this team will take to the air early and often this season. Collie, Reggie Wayne, Andrew Luck, Donald Brown, I love them all. For Collie specifically, I think he's a reserve option for right now, but if he doesn't suffer any more concussions and is a part of this passing attack like I expect him to be, Collie will become a fine WR3 or flex in 12-team leagues.

Adding a basement bathroom
Adding a basement bathroom is a big, complicated project. But that doesn't mean you can't do it. Thousands of DIYers successfully tackle the job every year, and so can you.
We will focus on installing the "DWV" system (drain, waste and vent), which is the most difficult part of plumbing a basement bathroom. The DWV system requires some hard labor—breaking up concrete—and enough know-how to construct it so waste will be carried away without problems. You supply the labor; this article will supply the know-how.
The materials for the DWV system shown here cost about $250. Plumbers' labor rates vary a lot by region, but most licensed pros would charge $1,200 to $2,000 for a job similar to the one shown here.
Find the main drain line
You'll have to connect new drain lines to an existing line under the basement. So before you can do any real planning, you have to find that line. First, locate the "main stack," the large (3 or 4 in. diameter) vertical pipe that runs into the basement floor. From there, the pipe runs under the floor and out to the city sewage system under the street. But it may run at an angle rather than straight out to the street. Look for a cleanout plug along the street-facing wall of the basement. If you find one, that's most likely the spot where the line exits your home. And usually, the line runs straight from the main stack to the cleanout.
If you have a private septic system, your main line will run toward the location of the drain field. If you're unsure where the line is, you have a couple of options. You can punch through the floor where you think it is (Photo 1). You might end up enlarging that hole or breaking a second exploratory hole, but that's not as bad as it sounds; all it will cost you is some wasted time and a couple of extra bags of concrete mix when you patch the floor. Your second option is to get a plumber to help. In most areas, a brief house call will cost you $75 to $150. Some plumbers have access to high-tech equipment that locates lines precisely, but expect to pay $200 for that service.
Slope Makes the Sewage Flow
Drain lines require a downhill slope of at least 1/4 in. per linear foot (see note below) so that waste flows smoothly through the pipes. To determine if your plan allows for that, take a few measurements:
A: The depth of the center of the
main line (at the tie-in point).
B: The future depth of the horizontal pipe beneath the drain.
Now do a little math: (A - B) x 4 = the maximum length (in feet) of the drain line, from the main to the end of the horizontal pipe under the drain. If A is 13 in. and B is 10 in., for example, the maximum length of the drain line is 12 ft. (13 - 10 = 3; 3 x 4 = 12).
If your main line isn't deep enough, you'll have to locate fixtures closer to the line or install a sewage ejection pump.
Note: Some local codes allow 1/8 in. per foot with 3- or 4-in. pipe.
Plan the system
Once you've located the line, you'll have to make sure it's deep enough to allow downward slope in the new drain lines that will run from your future bathroom. Then grab a pencil and mark out the whole bathroom on the basement floor: walls, toilet, sink, shower and finally the drain lines.
Consider it all a preplan at this point. Chances are, you'll have to make some changes as the plan develops. You may want to mock up sections of the system and lay them out on the basement floor using sections of pipe and an assortment of fittings. When the whole system is planned, mark it out on the floor. For photo clarity, we marked out bold lines on the floor. But simple spray paint is fine for drain lines.
Rent a Snapper
A cast iron pipe snapper works by tightening a cutting chain until the pipe cracks. They're available at tool rental stores. Old cast iron pipe can crush rather than crack. If that happens, you'll have to abandon the snapper and cut the slow way: with a reciprocating saw. If you have plastic pipe, cutting into the main is quick and easy with a reciprocating saw.
Trench the floor
A plain old sledgehammer will bust up a basement floor. Breaking through at the tie-in point (see Photo 1) may take a few dozen whacks. But once you have a starter hole, the job gets easier because the concrete has space to crack and break off. Within a few minutes, you'll learn to aim your blows and bust out a neat trench line. Pick out the larger chunks of concrete as you go. Ideally, most of your trench will be just wide enough for your spade. When digging, toss the dirt on a pile separate from the larger chunks of concrete. You don't want big chunks in the soil you'll use for backfill later.
Build the drain system
Photo 4: Build the drain system
The location of the drains and vents is critical—check and double-check your work before you glue joints together. Determine where the exact location of the shower drain will be after the walls are framed. Cap open pipes to keep sewer gas out of your home. Don't bury the lines until the building inspector has approved your work.
Begin the drain system by cutting into the main line (Photo 2) and splicing in a Y-fitting (Photo 3). We used a no-hub cast iron Y-fitting to tie into our cast iron main. But you can use a plastic Y-fitting instead if you glue short sections of pipe into the Y-fitting to accommodate the rubber couplers. Use that same method to tie into a plastic main.
For your DWV system, you can use ABS plastic (as we did; Photo 4) or PVC. Both are easy to cut and join. The hard part of any underground pipe work is building branches that end up exactly where you want them while maintaining a constant slope of at least 1/4 in. per running foot.
Here are tips to help you get it right:
- Buy twice as many fittings as you think you'll need and a few types that you don't think you'll need. Return the leftovers when the job is done.
- If you don't have a torpedo level, buy one (see Photo 7). It's the handiest tool for checking the slope of pipes.
- When a section of pipe is complete, pack dirt under and around it to keep it from shifting as you build other sections.
- Know the "rough-in" of your toilet (the distance from the wall to the center of the drain, most likely 12 in.). Don't forget to account for the thickness of framing and drywall.
- Backfill the trenches with care (Photo 5). You want to pack the soil tightly to prevent settling later, but be sure not to move the pipes as you tamp the soil.
Build the vent system
The vent system is a lot simpler than the drain system. We ran vent lines under the floor joists (Photo 6) and framed in a lower ceiling later. If you want to preserve ceiling height by running pipes through the joists, you'll have to bore some large holes, which can weaken the joists. To avoid that, see "How to drill through floor joists."
In most basements, you can tie your new vent system into the line that vents the laundry sink. Our plumbing inspector allowed us to connect our new 2-in. vent line to an existing 1-1/2-in. vent. Before cutting a section out of the old steel vent, we installed extra metal strapping to support the pipe during and after cutting.
Note: Plumbing codes vary by locality. The rules we give in this article generally follow the strictest codes. Your local rules may be more lenient about issues like vent sizing, the choice of fittings, etc.
Waste line Q & A
Why does the home center carry three different types of L-fittings?
- A standard L-fitting is used for horizontal-to- vertical flow in drain systems.
- A "sweep" or "long-turn" L-fitting is OK for almost any situation and is required in two situations: horizontal-to-horizontal turns and vertical-to-horizontal turns (as shown). But it can be used in any situation where space allows.
- Use a vent L-fitting only in vents.
What size drainpipe should I use?
The toilet requires 3-in. or larger. Use 2-in. for the others; pipes smaller than 2 in. aren't allowed beneath a concrete slab.
Venting Q & A
What's the vent for?
A plumbing vent is kind of like the air intake on a gas can; it lets in air. Without venting, a slug of sewage racing through a waste line creates air pressure and vacuum in the pipe. That means noisy, gurgling drains. Even worse, vacuum can suck all the water out of traps, allowing sewer gas to flow freely into your home. Yuck.
Vent-to-trap distance—there's a limit
Every drain needs a trap, and every trap needs a vent. The maximum distance between the trap and vent depends on the diameter of the pipe.
Memorize these distances for midterm exams:
For 1-1/4" pipe, the max. horizontal distance to vent is 30" For 1-1/2" pipe, the max. horizontal distance to vent is 42" For 2" pipe, the max. horizontal distance to vent is 5' For 3" pipe, the max. horizontal distance to vent is 6' For 4" pipe, the max. horizontal distance to vent is 10'
Note: A toilet has a built-in trap, so it doesn't need one in the drain line. It still needs a vent, though.
Can vents run horizontally?
Yes, but horizontal vent lines must be at least 6 in. above the "spill line," which is the level where water would overflow the rim of a sink, tub or toilet.
What size vent pipes do I need?
A typical bathroom like the one we show (sink, toilet, shower or tub) requires a 2-in. vent. You could run smaller pipes to the sink or shower, but it's usually easier to use one size for the whole system.

Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit
- A "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit: You can get this introductory visit only within the first 12 months you have Part B. This visit is not a full physical exam, but it does include a review of your medical and social history related to your health and education and counseling about preventive services, including certain screenings, shots, and referrals for other care, if needed. It also includes:
- Height, weight, and blood pressure measurements
- A calculation of your body mass index
- A simple vision test
- A review of your potential risk for depression and your level of safety
- An offer to talk with you about creating advance directives.
- A written plan letting you know which screenings, shots, and other preventive services you need. Get details from Medicare.gov about coverage for screenings, shots, and other preventive services.
Who's eligible?
All people with Medicare are covered.
Your costs in Original Medicare
You pay nothing for the "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit or the yearly "Wellness" visit if your doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts assignment. The Part B deductible doesn't apply.
However, if your doctor or other health care provider performs additional tests or services during the same visit that aren't covered under these preventive benefits, you may have to pay coinsurance, and the Part B deductible may apply.
Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers. Or, they may recommend services that Medicare doesn't cover. If this happens, you may have to pay some or all of the costs. It's important to ask questions so you understand why your doctor is recommending certain services and whether Medicare will pay for them.

Div. III Preview
Div. III Football Preview: Stevens, Somersworth among the favorites
When the NHIAA rubber-stamped a three-division format for the 2013 football season, several head coaches voiced their displeasure. Some of the loudest barks came from Division VI, which combined with Division V to form a new-look Division III.
There are coaches who will tell you that the competitive gap between the teams that were in Divisions V and VI last season is greater than the gap between teams that competed in the old Divisions I and II or the gap between teams that were in the previous version of Division III and Division IV. Other coaches will tell you that's nonsense.
"I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a lot of the (former) Division VI teams are pretty new to football," Somersworth coach Dan Hodsdon said. "The teams that have been in Division V are established programs."
Whether you like the new alignment or not, this much seems clear: This was as good a time as any for a merger of Division V and Division VI.
Why? For starters, no one will have to worry about Monadnock Regional of Swanzey, last year's Division V champion. The Huskies appear to be strong again but were moved to Division II even though they are a Division III program by enrollment.
In addition, Somersworth and Stevens of Claremont, a pair of Division V playoff teams last year, have lots of holes to fill on each side of the ball. And then there's Jesiah Wade, who led the state in rushing last season (2,204 yards). Wade figured to be the top offensive threat in Division III, but has transferred from Campbell of Litchfield and will play for Division I Manchester Central instead.
"I don't have a problem with (realignment)," said Mascoma Valley Regional of Canaan coach Ray Kershaw, whose team lost to Franklin in last year's Division VI championship game. "We'll play whoever's on our schedule.
"It is harder for the smaller schools, but that means coaches will have to get in the high school and recruit kids to get their numbers up. They have to get in the middle school and make themselves visible. When I took over at Mascoma (in 2009), we had 15 players. Now we have close to 40."
Despite heavy losses, Stevens and Somersworth are healthy programs that figure to be among the favorites to win this year's title. Stevens, which graduated 15 seniors, will lean on running back Donald Pellerin, who ran for 713 yards last season. Three of last year's five offensive linemen also return.
"We have to rebuild for sure," Stevens coach Paul Silva said. "Donald is really my only skilled player returning who got significant playing time for us.
"People can say what they want, but we're in a tough conference. Anybody who underestimates Mascoma is making a mistake. (Kershaw's) got the 11 players he needs to run the (double wing) offense that he does."
Somersworth, which also graduated 15 seniors, has three returning starters.
"Until we can prove ourselves on the field, I'm not going to say we're the team to beat," Hodsdon said. "We have a small junior and senior class. Right now I have no idea what kind of team we're going to be."
Mascoma returns nine starters, seven of whom are seniors. The Royals will have four seniors in the offensive backfield, including Kyle Kosoriek, the team's No. 2 rusher last season.
"Our line was our strength last year," Kershaw said. "This year we have a lot of youth up front. The team strength is in the offensive backfield."
Despite an offseason coaching change, Franklin is another team that could go deep into the postseason. First-year head coach Jeff Kaplan said 42 players came out for football this year.
"Four of our five offensive linemen are back," Kaplan said. "We're solid up front. Defense will be more of a challenge."
Newport has one of the top quarterbacks in Division III in Andrew Houde. After that there's a lot of uncertainty in the division.
"It's going to be a little bit tougher to win a championship," Kershaw said. "And it's going to be quite a process to get there."

With the next major spin of Intel server CPUs due later this year, HP's customers have been waiting for HP's next iteration of its core c-Class BladeSystem, which has been on the market for almost 7 years without any major changes to its basic architecture. IBM made a major enhancement to its BladeCenter architecture, replacing it with the new Pure Systems, and Cisco's offering is new enough that it should last for at least another three years without a major architectural refresh, leaving HP customers to wonder when HP was going to introduce its next blade enclosure, and whether it would be compatible with current products.
At their partner conference this week, HP announced a range of enhancements to its blade product line that on combination represent a strong evolution of the current product while maintaining compatibility with current investments. This positioning is similar to what IBM did with its BladeCenter to BladeCenter-H upgrade, preserving current customer investment and extending the life of the current server and peripheral modules for several more years.
Tech Stuff – What Was Announced
Among the goodies announced on February 19 was an assortment of performance and functionality enhancements, including:
