Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 68-year-old Betty Swinson goes to the Scottdale Senior Center.
If she didn't, Swinson would be "sitting in the house looking at the four walls."
"It's my outlet," said Swinson, who has been a member of the center since 2006, when she moved to Georgia.
Swinson and the 18 other seniors at the small center in the Scottdale community are concerned that the center may not survive the 2012 DeKalb County budget process.
"If they close it up, we wouldn't have anywhere to go," Swinson said. "That's just like kicking us to the curb. How would they feel if it were their mama or their daddy?
"We need our center open to keep our minds together," Swinson said. "Leave Scottdale alone. Let us be happy. Let us have our outlet."
The Scottdale center, which has been open since 1974, is the second oldest in DeKalb. Residents ages 60 and older are eligible to become members of one of the county's six senior centers.
In addition to Scottdale are the DeKalb/Atlanta, Lithonia, Lou Walker (also in Lithonia), North DeKalb and South DeKalb centers.
The maximum membership for the Scottdale center is 49, if the county allows the center to reach that number, said Dorothy Neason, an AARP volunteer who manages the center.
At the center, the residents hear presentations about medication and health issues, Neason said.
They make crafts, go on trips and grocery shopping and they receive a nutritious meal.
"All of that helps add to the health of the seniors," Neason said. "It's very important for them not to be alone.
"Older people need to be in a community setting," Neason said. "They don't need to sit at home alone and do nothing. That's when they deteriorate and get sick."
Neason said the seniors are very concerned about what will happen if the center is closed.
"No one from DeKalb County management has talked to the seniors about anything," Neason said. "They shouldn't have to hear stuff from the wind."
Burke Brennan, the county's chief communications officer, said none of the senior centers are being closed under the proposed 2012 county budget of DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis, which, at $547.3 million, is 1.2 percent higher than the 2011 budget.
The administration is in the process of establishing partnerships with volunteers and non-profit organizations to manage the county's senior centers "to live with our budget realities," Brennan said.
Maintaining some of the county's programs "depends upon a rather large volunteer contingent," Brennan said.
At $353,000, the proposed budget for senior citizen centers is 53 percent of last year's budget.
"The decrease in budget doesn't mean anything is closing," Brennan said.
Clarkston resident Rachel Brotherson, 69, said if the Scottdale center is closed, "it would be terrible because I couldn't find anything to do every day."
Brotherson, who has been attending since 2008, worked for Senior Connections for two years and was transferred to work at the Scottdale center, which used to be open five days a week.
"Then they cut it down to three," Brotherson said. "If it were left up to the county, it would be down to nothing. Because we're a small center, they want to kick us to the curb."
Brotherson said she goes to the center "to have fun, to meet people and to go on trips. It makes my day."
The seniors are not asking for a new building, upgrades or enhanced programs.
"We're not asking for anything," Brotherson said. "We're alive and well and kicking. Just leave us alone."
Marjorie Daniels, 88, said it is "a horrible thought" to consider the closing of the center.
"I'd deteriorate," Daniels said. "I wouldn't know what to do with myself. What would I do?"

Where Are The Women In Chicago Sports Media?
It's been 40 years since Title IX became law, but while the law changed the face of sports, it hasn't done much to change sports media, especially in Chicago where men still dominate the business of sports reporting.

Boat Race: Cambridge anxious to retain the prize

Cambridge Boat Club president Derek Rasmussen says the "testosterone is flying" in the Light Blue camp as they prepare to defend their crown in the Boat Race on Saturday.
Rasmussen was part of last year's crew that won back the title from Oxford for the first time since 2007. The American said yesterday: "We've got a lot of nerves and eight big guys living in one house, so we're all really anxious and ready to race. The testosterone is flying... I think we had a pretty good mindset last year and we're trying to bring the same mindset this year... just to go out and fight."

The description doesn't fully do this bag justice. It is large enough for extended trips if you're a light packer, and has the organization to keep everything in its place. Really good build quality with solid stitching and all metal clips and buckles. There are two clear map style pockets and a larger (full side) zip pocket on the inside, with two elasticated pockets, a small zip pocket and a key clip on the opposite side. On the outside are two end pockets, two larger expanding pockets on the front side with magnetic closures. These two expandable pockets can accommodate a heavy paperback or a lunch container, eg. Also a zippered "passport" pocket on the outisde. I don't usually feel compelled to write reviews but this bag is great. Sturdy, well-made, stylish and functional.
Note: The airforce blue bag has orange/camo interior.

i still think its a good idea to run a fww i was just proving a point
the fwws are great for the woods bikes that are hard to control(mostly all two strokes and possibly some of the harder hitting 4Ts)
in many cases the little bit that you loose hp wise you will gain that back on a better control of your bike...i personly run a 250f that i dont feel the need for the fww.. i am already underpowerd compared to the 2t
.. sigh.. hate to break it to you grasshopper.. "WE" didn't establish that there is ANY horsepower loss.. you seem to have it in your head there is hp loss when adding fww, did you actually read the posts following your "claim" that horsepower is lost? you are the only one that says there is a loss of horsepower. (as in you alone, you singular, you and nobody else, you are on one side of argument and everyone else is on other..).
Multi TIME ISDE winner Dwight Rudders says you don't loose hp with a heavier fww, DOUG DUBACH world champion says in his article you don't, everyone else including "A" class riders that have been racing longer than you have been alive state there is no hp loss using a heavier fww. But somehow laws of physics fail to apply in a 5 foot shere surrounding you? Ok! Even i learned something.
Now, all funny stuff aside. if you wanna state "i think a heavier flywheel weight causes a loss of hp" or somethin like that.. great, no problem, it's a FREE COUNTRY.. but DON'T post some bullpucky statement like "we established... " cause "WE" didn't.
Im glad to see you think it is a good idea for some bikes. At least we got that far, but you just MIGHT like a little extra fww on YOUR bike. But alas, as you think (wrongly) you "loose hp" you will likely never even try it for harescrambles/enduro. As your only 19 years old, there is still LOTS of time for you to give it a try. yea, i have taken this thread a little personal.

6. | clan | ||
A clan is a group of people, typically in online games like Halo and Call of Duty, where they play together and may either just play online together, or compete in tournaments. Most clans consist of 12 year old kids who think it is cool to be in a clan. Clans were cool in 2005, not so much now. It is probably at its worst in Halo Reach and Halo 4. The File Browser consists of thousands of screenshots where clan members ask you to join their lame clan. These clans also get into fights with each other over the File Browser. No one cares about your stupid clan, and no one cares about your stupid clan drama. Just shut up and go away. Clan Guy 1: Dude my clan kicks your clan's ass!
Clan Guy 2: No, my clan is way better! Clan Guy 1: That's it we're doing a clan battle! Right now! Clan Guy 2: You're going down noob! Clan Guy 1: No you are! Gamer: Shut up, clans are for chumps. |
1. | clan | ||
A word to refer to a closely-knit group usually quite large and fiercly defensive of eachother. Comes from the Clans of Scotland- who were blood relatives.
Now used more as a term for groups of video-games. Quake II clans.
2. | clan | ||
A group of online gamers or lanning gamers who fight as a united group.
Often traced back to there been friends, colleges or just fighting for a common goal such as to be the considered best, to be considered a real gamer and not a noob or just fun Telstra GameArena runs Clan Ladders, where anything up to hundreds of clans usually about 8 ppl can come together and fight on common servers with constant rules. Ie: anti cheating etc
In games such as Cs or Dod |
3. | clan | ||
A group of people working together in online multiplayer games. They may just play together for fun, or have training sessions and compete in tournaments.
While there are exceptions, a majority of clans are filled with holier-than-thou assholes who think they're really something because they have a tag in front of their nickname. Any questioning of clan members invariably results in getting insulted repeatedly, so it's best to just let them be idiots and remember what it was like to be a teenager on the Internet anonymously. Clanners need to get outside more often.
4. | Clan | ||
Family, extended family
Comes from the Irish language - Gaeilge (Gaeilge) Clann, meaning, children, offspring; race, decendants; followers etc Also in the Scottish Gaelic language (Gàidhlig), same meaning Hows the clan? (how is your family?!)
5. | clan | ||
A clan is similar to the mafia family,
Clan name= origional family name A number of families=a clan clans are also know as Famlies, other families can become assosiates of the clan by marrying into it but they will never be members or 'family' because you have to be related by blood, clan or family members can be members of a gang structure but the family always comes first, membership of gangs also leads to links or ties between clans. my mothers mother is the head of the clan because she is decended from the origional founder by blood, this means that i am a member of the family, i am also a 'pure blood member' because i am directly decended from the origional founder, although my father is loved by all in the family, he will never be more than an assosiate because he is not blood related to the clan.
7. | clan | ||
clan is a term used to describe a group of people who share a common intrest in gaming they are fiercly teritorial and watch each others backs |LAB| are the little aussie battlers they are also known as chopper whores by fellow clans

The Sapphires
Getting a film off the ground in Australia is a famously fraught business; funding sources are few and far between, audiences and the media aren't terribly supportive, and the box office is often impenetrable. Even a comedy like Not Suitable For Children, starring TV stars Ryan Kwanten and Ryan Corr, didn't make much of a dent when it opened last month, despite positive reviews.
But The Sapphires always seemed destined for better things: based on a hit play drawn from true life, starring chart-storming former Australian Idol star Jessica Mauboy, lovable irish larrikin Chris O'Dowd (of Bridesmaids and The IT Crowd) and a slew of irresistibly catchy soul classics, it had all the signs of picking up where Rachel Perkins' hugely successful musical comedy Bran Nue Dae left off.
Screen and stage actor-director Wayne Blair had an instant reaction to Tony Briggs' play about four girls from a remote Aboriginal mission in the '60s who went on to tour Vietnam singing soul for the soldiers. He starred in Melbourne Theatre Company's premiere season in 2004, followed by a remount at Sydney's Belvoir Street in January 2005 (although not in the 2010 touring revival).
Around the same time, Blair took his film Djarns Djarns to Berlin Film Festival, where it won the Crystal Bear for best short film. With Briggs acting in his film, and Goalpost Pictures producing it, it didn't take long for all three to come together around the idea of a screen adaptation of The Sapphires – with the final ingredient being Logie and AFI Award-winning actress Deborah Mailman, who had played one of the soul sisters in the 2005 stage production and returns in the film to star as 'mamma bear' of the group, Gail.
On the big screen, The Sapphires has lost none of the feelgood fervour that made the play such a smash success across the country. "The story came from Tony's mum and his family, and he wanted it to be a story for everyone; he wanted it to be a story that has humour," explains Blair. "And we wanted a film that could travel around the world. Another version of the film might have gone darker and deeper, but there's always been a sense that The Sapphires was a celebration of these four black women. So it wasn't a matter of 'keeping it light' or ignoring [the darker issues] – it was about being true to the original mission statement: to make a story for everyone."
Consequently, even as difficult issues such as racism and the Stolen Generations arise in the film, they're ultimately transcended by the power of good humour and good music; and the mission on the Murray river where the girls grow up is portrayed as a place of laughter, community and natty dressing, rather than a place of poverty and isolation.
Blair cites Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple as a touchstone for representing the mission – "You know, what it looked like in the kitchen or in the lounge room of The Color Purple – because we think of it as a very dismal film, but it's actually quite beautiful. So it was similar to this Sapphires story."
For the film's overall tone, he was inspired by The Commitments and Brassed Off – both period dramedies about the transformative power of music within a working-class community, the former in Northern Ireland, the latter in Northern England. "They're films that have a sense of team, or a sense of family; and they've all got their wants and needs, and they're fractured – but as a team and a family unit they get through each day."
On set, Blair's foremost collaborator was director and cinematographer Warwick Thornton, who had his own success story a few years back with Samson & Delilah. "He's a good friend, so that was cool; we just got on – he's a Leo I think and I'm a Sagittarian, so it could have been like two roosters in a hen house (laughs) but it was the opposite, we just worked so well together. I think that had an effect on the crew – they just wanted to achieve the day for us."
The biggest challenge on an otherwise blessed production was the hectic shooting schedule, which allowed just six weeks to cover five lead-actors across as many locations, including never-before-filmed parts of Saigon. "We just had to be very, very prepared as a team, to get things right every day," Blair admits. "And you have to break the film down into [smaller tasks] – everything had its place, and we looked at things in isolation: 'Okay, we've gotta shoot this moment before this moment to get to that moment' – and that made it easy. You start very slowly at first, and just work your way up."
Having trained in theatre at QUT, and with the bulk of his career thus far spent in the theatre, Blair credits a slew of television gigs with honing his on-set muscles. "I think to be a good filmmaker or just a good storyteller of any sort, it's important for me to do it again and again – to learn your craft, make mistakes, so you know what to do next time. So [directing TV] has been the biggest thing for me over the last five or six years."
Off the back of a triumphant screening at Cannes in May (where it was announced that king-making distributor Harvey Weinstein had bought the US rights) and on the eve of The Sapphires opening Melbourne International Film Festival, Blair sheepishly admits, "I had a realisation just three weeks ago, on the set of [TV mini-series] Redfern Now, and I actually thought on the second or third day, 'Yeah, I'm going well. Now I can finally call myself a director,'" he laughs. "It was seriously only three weeks ago."
The Sapphires is out now in cinemas.

11 Continental Boulevard 100 Percent Occupied12 Oct, 2006, Merrimack
Cushman & Wakefield Negotiates Major Leases Totaling 72,000 Square Feet
On behalf of Merrimack Office Properties, Cushman & Wakefield today announced the completion of two major lease transactions involving 72,000 square feet of first class office space. The combination of both leases recently brought 11 Continental Boulevard in Merrimack from a vacant property to 100 percent occupied. Cushman and Wakefield Executive Director Thomas P. Farrelly and Director Denis Dancoes II and Associate Sue Ann Johnson represented the Landlord—Merrimack Office Properties—in both transactions. "These two transactions bring growing corporations offering attractive high paying jobs to Merrimack and they fill a significant void in the local office market," said Thomas P. Farrelly, executive director of Cushman Wakefield's New Hampshire offices. Cushman & Wakefield initially negotiated a 60,000 square foot office lease with Compuware Corporation, a recognized industry leader in enterprise software and IT services. The company expanded and relocated from Nashua. It serves the world's largest IT organizations, including 95 percent of the Fortune 100 companies. With the Compuware agreement in place, Cushman & Wakefield subsequently leased the remainder of the building to Oztek Corporation in a 12,000 square foot office transaction. Oztek Corp. was founded in Merrimack, NH in 1997 to provide superior design engineering services and specialty products to the motion control and power electronics industries. Originally, 11 Continental Boulevard was a 176,000 square foot Texas Instruments engineering design center used as a silicon wafer fabrication plant. Approximately 100,000 square feet of that structure was demolished. The site was then subdivided and developed by Regency Centers to accommodate a retail grocery store anchored strip center built for Shaws Supermarket and several smaller tenants. The remaining engineering design center was redeveloped by locally owned Merrimack Office Properties and presently sits as a finely appointed 72,000 square foot Class A office complex on 7.5 acres. The facility is directly adjacent to Exit 11 on the F.E Everett Turnpike, less than 30 minutes from the Manchester Airport and one hour from Boston. Monks & Company represented Compuware and Valentine & Scanlon represented Oztek Corporation in the recent lease transactions. ### Cushman & Wakefield is the world's largest privately held real estate services firm. Founded in 1917, the firm has 189 offices in 57 countries around the globe, and 11,000+ talented professionals.

Raise your right hand and repeat after me, "I will eat healthy foods in 2013 in order that I might be healthier and happier…" Now that you have taken the pledge, let me give you five healthy foods that you can eat all year long.
Sweet Potatoes: This is one vegetable I try to eat every week. There are so many different ways to fix them, fried, baked, puddings, casseroles and pies. They are loaded with carotenoids, and a good source for vitamin C, potassium and fiber.
Broccoli: This vegetable is loaded with vitamin C vitamin K, and folic acid. A simple way to fix - steam it just enough so that it is still firm. Try adding a little red pepper and a spoonful of lemon juice.
Butternet Squash: You can buy these in the produce section or in the salad section already for cooking. This is a great source for vitamin A and C, plus fiber.
Leafy Greens: Try some these different greens, collards, spinach, mustard greens, turnip greens and kale. You will find these have a powerhouse of Vitamins A, C, and K, plus potassium, calcium, iron, and fiber. Most southerners put some type of vinegar on greens. For me the full flavor is simply to sprinkle a light coat of fresh ground pepper.
Wild Salmon: For seafood, you just can't beat wild salmon. Experts take the view that it is the best help in reducing the risk of sudden-death heart attacks.
Now that I have given you my choice for the five healthy foods for the new year. Let's start cooking!
5 sweet potatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs

Dozens of businesses attended the tailgate held in downtown South Bend, which was put on by the Faegre Baker Daniels law firm.
The tailgate was held outside of the Key Bank building, which is where their law firm is located. Dozens of downtown businesses attended the tailgate lunch, which included burgers, hot dogs and several different desserts -- all to cheer on the Irish!
"As a group effort, we got to talking last week – What can we do to celebrate the big day? Especially since we are all working today!" said organizer Angie Hall. "We came up with the idea of the tailgate -- a work time tailgate!"
Organizers say events like this help bring together businesses downtown.

Rudolf Kiburis, 24, a member of Burr and Burton's 2005 graduating class, drowned while swimming in the Huntington Gorge in Richmond, Vt., Saturday, June 30. According to a police report, he was caught in a current and whirlpool area of the Gorge and was unable to get himself to safety. Efforts to revive him at the scene of the accident were unsuccessful.
Those that knew Rudy Kiburis remember him for his dry wit, his positive outlook on life and the profound effect he had on people, several said. "You couldn't possibly be in a bad mood when Rudy was around. He loved life. He was always quick with joke and smile," said
his friend and classmate Kyle Midura. "[He was] one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet in your life and genuine, I might add. Rudy had a positive impact on everyone he came in contact with. Just knowing him made me a better person, a better man. I think a lot of us can't even come to grips with the fact [that] he's gone."In a telephone interview on Monday, Midura said Kiburis knew the swimming hole well and enjoyed spending time there during the summer. Kiburis's friend and one-time bandmate Jamie Heintz, said Kiburis's kindness was infectious and that he had a unique ability to spread joy and make an impact on anyone he met, no matter how brief the encounter.
"Rudy by far out of anyone I've ever known was an incredibly
Heintz said Kiburis was the first person he met when he entered Burr and Burton Academy in his sophomore year. Heintz said Kiburis already had formed a very tight knit group of friends that he assimilated into when he arrived at BBA.
"It's hard to say whether or not he was my best friend or if he was anymore my friend than anyone else because the group of friends we had during that time was unbreakable. We were all each others best friends," said Heintz.
The two soon began to bond over their passion for music and with encouragement of some BBA staff members Heintz, Kiburis, Rob Eaton and Mike Wheeler began to play together on a regular basis.
Out of the collaboration they formed the group Greyspoke between 2002-2003 during their sophomore year of high school. Musically, Heintz said a special connection existed between the two as Heintz was the band's drummer and Kiburis their bassist.
"He was a hell of a bass player," said Heintz. "I've played with quite a few musicians in my time and I can easily say he was the most exciting and challenging and inspirational player I had the opportunity of playing with in my entire musical career. It seems as if his passion for life and his sense of purpose and his diligence in every walk of his life was born from his relationship with his bass."
But Kiburis's talents were not limited to music. Rob Hunter, a teacher at Burr and Burton Academy, said he first became acquainted with Kiburis when he was in his writers forum.
"You get to know people through their writing. When they write they take chances and they let you in a little bit more. The kid was an absolute prince," Hunter said.
Hunter said Kiburis's mature, dry sense of humor, which he said "could stop you right in your tracks" was one of the things he would remember the most about him.
"The people who knew him truly loved him. If you were a friend or a teacher you wanted him around," said Hunter. "[He was] someone who really related to adults well. He had that youthful energy as well. Some sort of spark. He's one of those kids that just kind of lives in your heart."
Burr and Burton Headmaster Mark Tashjian released a statement on Tuesday expressing the school's condolences to his family.
"Any premature loss is excruciatingly sad. Our hearts go out to the Kilburis family, and we hope they find comfort in the love of family and friends. Rudy left a mark of joy, playfulness and musicianship on this school, and together we will celebrate his life and mourn his passing."
A memorial service will be held for Kiburis at BBA in the Riley Center at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 6. Heintz said that a celebration of Kiburis' life will follow the ceremony.

NRA big supporter of politicians
Protecting those Second Amendment rights has also included hefty campaign donations.
During the 2012 election cycle, the NRA donated $719,596 to candidates. Republicans received $634,146 of that, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' analysis of federal campaign data. For example, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, ranked among the top five recipients, having received $7,450 in this cycle.
Some $85,450 went to Democrats, many of them in states that are considered more conservative when it comes to gun control laws. For example, Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson got $6,950 this cycle and represents a district in Utah, a state gun control policy advocates say has some of the nation's weakest gun laws.
A number of Democratic lawmakers who hail from conservative states are up for re-election in 2014, which may also increase the pressure not to touch the gun issue.
Gun policies are "still a third rail especially if you're really going to try and do something about it," said Alan Lizotte, dean and professor at the State University of New York at Albany's School of Criminal Justice. "There are a lot of issues there."
According to a new ABC News/Washington Post survey on gun control conducted over the weekend, 52% of people see the mass shootings as a sign of broader problems in society. This up from 24% in August shortly after the deadly theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
The poll also found rise in people who strongly favor stricter gun control, 44%, and a double-digit gap between them and the 32% who say they strongly oppose stricter gun control laws. In August, 39% supported tougher laws and 37% opposed them.
A Pew poll conducted after the Giffords shooting found that 49% of Americans said it was "more important to protect the rights of Americans to own guns," while 46% said it was "more important to control gun ownership."
But a survey conducted by CNN/ORC International in August shortly after the Aurora incident found that 76% of those surveyed believe "there should be some restrictions on owning guns."

Idaho prison leaders are looking for a new company to run the state's largest prison, the AP reports, after Corrections Corporation of America admitted to understaffing and overbilling for its work operating the Idaho Correctional Center. But the Idaho Department of Correction won't be allowed to submit its own bid or take over operations at the prison south of Boise, because Board of Correction Chairwoman Robin Sandy said that would amount to expanding state government.
The three-member Board of Correction made the decision during a meeting Tuesday evening, opting not to let an automatic two-year extension of CCA's $29.9 million contract kick in when the current contract expires on June 30, 2014. The board also decided that it would consolidate medical services at all the prisons under one statewide medical contract, rather than keeping the medical care services at the Idaho Correctional Center separate. Currently, Corizon provides medical care at every prison in the state except for Idaho Correctional Center, where it is handled by CCA. Click below for a full report from AP reporter Rebecca Boone.
An Uzbek refugee accused of terrorism-related crimes in Idaho and Utah has a new lawyer whose resume includes successfully defending a man accused of murdering a federal agent and helping free a Saudi college student charged with working for a group funneling money to terrorists, the AP reports. A federal judge has appointed Charles Peterson to take over Fazliddin Kurbanov's defense; click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller.
Idaho has some of the nation's lowest crime rates, but its prison population is growing quickly at a time when most states are seeing declines. So now all three branches of state government in Idaho – from the governor to the Supreme Court to the Legislature – are coming together to launch an intensive new effort to find out what's going wrong and fix it, with the help of grant funding and aid from the Pew Charitable Trusts, the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the Council of State Governments' Justice Center; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
The state qualified for more than a quarter-million dollars in grant funding for the effort, which Gov. Butch Otter unveiled at a news conference in his office today, joined by Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Burdick, legislative leaders, top officials from an array of state agencies and representatives of Pew and CSG. "Criminal justice is taking a larger and larger share of our state budget every year," Otter said. And despite Idaho's low crime rates, one of every 34 males is involved in the criminal justice system and one of every 156 females, he said. Plus, 51 percent of those in Idaho's prisons are repeat offenders. "So what are we not doing while we have them, to prepare them for a life outside of the correctional environment that they end up in?" Otter asked. "What more can we do?"
Other states including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina and more have worked with the same partners on the "justice reinvestment" approach, which involves intensive analysis of data, developing policy options, putting new strategies in place and measuring results. Some states have seen impressive results. Texas estimated that it averted $340 million in operational costs and $1.5 billion in prison construction costs. South Carolina was expecting an increase of 3,000 prison inmates in 2010 and $300 million in increased costs; instead, its prison population dropped.
"We're going to use every tool we possibly can," Otter said. That could include changes in sentencing, treatment, education, rehabilitation and more. A broad, multi-agency working group started meeting on the project today, and a legislative interim committee is holding its first meeting this afternoon, chaired by the House and Senate judiciary chairmen, Sen. Patti Anne Lodge, R-Huston, and Rep. Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry. The aim is to develop solutions as soon as possible, including some that could be considered in the legislative session that starts in January of 2014.
Wills, a retired state trooper, said, "It's going to be a great opportunity for us to bite the bullet, to save money, and to prepare our citizens that need it, that are housed behind those walls, to get out and do something constructive rather than destructive as we've seen in the past."
Idaho will auction off three new undeveloped cabin sites on Priest Lake this year, partly to get a sense of the true bare-land values as the state moves toward divesting itself of the numerous state-owned lots there on which renters have built and owned cabins for years. The state Land Board approved the auction plan this morning; the auction will take place in late August or early September. The three lots, all contiguous and lakefront, will be marketed nationwide.
"Although historically there have been 354 cottage sites associated with Priest Lake, an additional 17 have been platted and are unleased and undeveloped at this time," Thomas Felter, the state Lands Department's manager of commercial and residential real estate, told the board, which consists of the state's top elected officials. "We believe a sale auction would help determine the market value for vacant and unimproved lots."
The state had planned to allow some voluntary auctions of existing cabin sites this year where the lessees wanted to go that route – and perhaps bid against competitors to keep their cabin sites, or get paid for their improvements if a competitor won the bidding - but the need to reappraise all the existing sites has slowed that process down. Felter said none of the existing Priest Lake cabin sites will be ready for voluntary auctions before 2014; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
A federal administrative law judge has rejected plans for suction dredge mining along a prized cutthroat trout stream in northern Idaho, the Lewiston Tribune reports. Judge Robert Holt, with the U.S. Department of Interior, concluded that recreation opportunities like fishing and camping and the archaeological history along the North Fork of the Clearwater River trump the miners' quest to pull gold from streambed. In the last several years, at least 30 placer claims have been filed along a 30-mile stretch of the river that runs through the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest. Click below for a full report from the Lewiston Tribune via the AP.
Idaho's gearing up for an above-normal fire season on state land, state forester David Groeschl told the state Land Board this morning, after Secretary of State Ben Ysursa inquired. "We've got some awful dry conditions," Ysursa said. "What's your crystal ball on the fire season coming up?" Groeschl said long-range predictions call for warmer than average temperatures and below-normal precipitation over much of the state. "And right now, the fuel moistures are lower than we normally see this time of year," he said. "So if weather conditions do not change, I would expect a very active fire season."
He added, "We are preparing for an above-normal fire season."
Asked about the Idaho GOP Central Committee's new resolution calling on the Legislature to overturn local anti-discrimination ordinances, like those six Idaho cities have passed to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, Gov. Butch Otter said today that the resolution runs counter to his views on local control. "I think, even though the cities and counties are creatures of the state, the state has always recognized the value of local control, local decision-making, and these folks having a responsibility to establish for themselves the character of their community," Otter said. "Although I understand some of the reasoning behind that effort, I really think that the overriding value of local folks making local decisions about local policies is much more valuable than us directing folks from Boise."
Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on how Idaho Republican Party leaders are calling on the state Legislature to invalidate local city ordinances that ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation - like the one Coeur d'Alene passed after an emotional community debate just two weeks ago. Six Idaho cities have passed such non-discrimination ordinances in the past year and a half, and a seventh, Idaho Falls, is looking into one now.
The party central committee's resolution isn't binding on the Legislature, which is 81 percent Republican. "It's a way for the people to make their expressions known to the Legislature," said Idaho Republican Chairman Barry Peterson. "We let 'em know that this is the way that the majority of the party feels." Coeur d'Alene Mayor Sandi Bloem countered, "The Republican Party itself appears to be somewhat fractured, so I'm not assuming that it would get full Republican support. … I would assume that there would certainly be some that would recognize the local rights." Coeur d'Alene's city council passed the ordinance on a 5-1 vote.
Cornel Rasor, a former Bonner County commissioner and chairman of the Idaho GOP's resolutions committee, said, "I'd hire a gay guy if I thought he was a good worker. But if he comes into work in a tutu … he's not producing what I want in my office." Rasor presented the resolution on behalf of a constituent in Bonner County; another similar one was proposed by Idaho County's GOP central committee, and the two were combined into one. It was approved with little debate at the central committee's summer meeting over the weekend in McCall.

An environmental group is suing federal water and wildlife agencies, contending that the agencies have long delayed taking the steps needed to protect Idaho's water quality, the Associated Press reports. Northwest Environmental Advocates, based in Portland, Ore., filed the lawsuit in Boise's U.S. District Court against the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday. The environmental group claims that the federal agencies have dragged their feet for 17 years when it comes to requiring Idaho to protect its waters and aquatic species.

Anyone selling you insurance on your smartphone in Idaho will need to be licensed with the state Department of Insurance, starting July 1; that's under legislation that passed in 2012 and is just now taking effect. More than 40 states now regulate sales of portable electronics insurance; Idaho's new regulations, like those in many other states, require the sellers to disclose to customers that the policies may duplicate their existing coverage under their homeowner's, renter's or other insurance. They also allow the portable electronics insurance policies to be canceled at any time.
Idaho Department of Insurance Director Bill Deal said, "This type of insurance has been available without regulation for some time. By requiring vendors to be licensed, the department has the ability to monitor the product and protect consumers."
Washington's similar law took effect in 2008; other states with such laws in effect include Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: MCCALL, Idaho (AP) - Republican Party leaders are urging the Idaho Legislature to put a stop to local communities' efforts to provide discrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. The approval of the non-binding resolution came Saturday at the GOP's annual Central Committee summer meeting in McCall. The GOP-dominated Idaho Legislature has refused to add housing and workplace protections for gays and lesbians to the Idaho Human Rights Act. As a consequence, numerous municipalities including Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint, Ketchum, Moscow and Boise are passing their own local protections. That didn't sit well with the majority of Republicans in McCall, who say that Idaho lawmakers should put a stop to it. According to the resolution, the Legislature should pass a law making local discrimination protections unenforceable if they go beyond the state's protections.
An Idaho family business that produces specialty animal feeds is eyeing Taiwan's multimillion-dollar pigeon racing business as a target for a new export line. The AP reports that Zamzow's Dynamite Marketing is looking to transform Idaho-grown safflower and corn, and a top-secret, blood-boosting brew of mushroom powder and yeast cell wall extract it makes in its 102-year-old feed mill, into an annual export business worth up to $15 million. Click below for the full story from AP reporter John Miller.
Two conservation groups are offering $6,500 in rewards for information leading to the arrest and a conviction in the case of a grizzly bear killed near the Idaho-Montana border last fall. The bear's radio collar was found, cut off, in a stream; it had been fitted with the collar just 18 days earlier. The Western Watersheds Project and Cottonwood Environmental Law Center sued in federal court last month, contending that the U.S. Sheep Experimentation Station, near where the grizzly disappeared, has been involved with multiple grizzly deaths, though the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has ruled that it hasn't.
The station is operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and grazes about 2,000 sheep on 16,000 acres of land high in the mountains — an area biologists contend is also a prime travel corridor connecting Idaho and Yellowstone National Park for threatened grizzly bears. Click below for a full report from the Associated Press.
Republican leaders in Idaho on Saturday dumped a plan calling for party officials to vet GOP primary election candidates, the AP reports. The rejection came at the Republican Party Central Committee's summer meeting in McCall, where the state's dominant political group was setting its policy direction for the year to come. The proposal was from former Senate Majority Leader Rod Beck, as a way to pressure GOP candidates into adhering more to the wishes of their local party leaders, but it came under fire from an array of top Idaho Republicans, who said it would put decision-making in the hands of just a few people and disenfranchise broader GOP voters. Click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller.
When former Idaho Gov. Phil Batt was honored yesterday with the naming of the Idaho Transportation Department headquarters after him, he shared some transportation-related stories from back when. One was about changing a flat tire on the old White Bird Hill segment of Highway 95 in North Idaho in the sleet and rain with a pregnant wife and two big dogs in the car. Others touched on other "hair raising" stretches of road in the state before they were upgraded. "They really raised your eyebrows," he said.
Then there was this story from his time as governor: Batt once was headed out to a funeral for some wildland firefighters south of Kuna when a Russian diplomat stopped by his office. "I told him I'd give him 10 minutes. I knew I had to get going. A half-hour later, I finally booted him out of there and we got in the car."
Batt told an aide to "step on it," and put in a call to the state police, saying, "Cut us a little slack, we're running late. We need to get over to this funeral." Laughter started up among the audience. "Course, the radios picked that up and it was in the newspapers and all over the place," Batt said. "I had to apologize and write a poem for the paper and all that. But that was one of my easier duties, it was all right."
Idaho Falls is considering enacting an anti-discrimination ordinance to cover sexual orientation and gender identity; if it does, it'd be the seventh Idaho city to enact protections from discrimination that state lawmakers have repeatedly refused to add to the Idaho Human Rights Act. The Idaho Falls Post Register reports the city council is working on a draft ordinance and collecting public comment on the issue. Meanwhile, the Idaho Republican Party's central committee will consider two proposed resolutions this weekend calling for the state to invalidate all such local ordinances. Click below for a full report from the Associated Press.
As the Idaho Republican Party's state central committee meets in McCall tomorrow to take up proposed rule changes and resolutions, there are a slew of things on the agenda beyond Rod Beck's controversial proposal to require all GOP primary candidates to be approved by party officials, or be excluded from the ballot. That's one of 10 proposed rule changes; there are also 30 proposed resolutions, on everything from asking the state Legislature to invalidate all city non-discrimination ordinances that go beyond state law, like those six Idaho cities have enacted to ban discrimination over sexual orientation or gender identity; to abolishing daylight saving time; to calling for repeal of the state health insurance exchange.
The proposed rule changes range from opening back up the closed GOP primary election to requiring the state central committee to withdraw financial or in-kind support from any GOP office-holder who casts any vote that the committee feels violates any of the party's resolutions. You can read the eight pages of proposed rule changes here, and the 27 pages of proposed resolutions here.
There's apparently something of a potato price war on, the Associated Press reports, as a battle between grocers and potato growers has a U.S. wholesaler accusing America's spud farmers of driving up prices while spying on farmers with satellites and aircraft fly-overs to enforce strict limits on how many tubers they can grow. The spud skirmish has been silently hitting shoppers' pocketbooks, the Associated Wholesale Grocers charge in a lawsuit against potato growers in U.S. District Court in Idaho, while the growers say they're just doing smart marketing through agricultural cooperatives as authorized by a 1922 federal law. Click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller.
A new statewide poll shows Idaho voters strongly in support of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" immigration bill now being debated in the U.S. Senate, with 67 percent saying they support the bill, 75 percent saying they back a path to citizenship that includes tough requirements, and 89 percent saying the United States should fix its immigration system this year.
Damond Watkins, Idaho Republican national committeeman, said, "The results of this statewide poll should be yet another indication to our elected officials in Washington that their constituents want, and are ready for, a real and lasting solution to mend our broken immigration system. Comprehensive immigration reform is one of the rare issues that is both good politics and good policy."
In the first two procedural votes in the Senate on the measure thus far, both Idaho senators, Jim Risch and Mike Crapo, were among the 15 opponents of the bill.
The poll was conducted in 29 states; in Idaho, it had a sample size of 590, a margin of error of 4.03 percent, and was conducted by phone using interactive voice response June 2-3. Harper Polling, a GOP firm, and Public Policy Polling, a Democratic pollster, collaborated on the poll, which was commissioned by three groups, Alliance for Citizenship, Partnership for new American Economy, and Republicans for Immigration Reform.
The pollsters said they found "overwhelming, bipartisan support for the bill" in all 29 states in which they conducted polling. "The bill that's been constructed has broad support with every segment of the electorate in every part of the country," the pollsters wrote. You can read the full Idaho results and poll questions here.
