There are impact projects that can expand Sampson County's tax base, notably around Interstate 40, but the two-year time frame it takes to develop those projects on the local end is an obstacle that has cut into the number of interested prospects.
John Swope, executive director of the Sampson County Economic Development Commission, recently gave an outline of Sampson's economic future to county officials, with a focus around I-40.
"Economic development is about being prepared," Swope said. "We have to be able to talk to our prospects today. I have to be able to tell them that we have, or don't have, what they are looking for."
That is not just about the size, location and physical characteristics of the site, but questions about water and sewer service, infrastructure, environmental hazards and geotechnical soil questions. "We have to be able to answer those questions quickly," Swope noted.
He said having those answers immediately, along with prep work completed, could be the difference between having a 300,000 square feet distribution center that brings in $30 million or a manufacturing plant that brings $125 million in investment. Numbers of jobs can range from a few hundred to well over 1,000 — or no investment or jobs at all.
"Our goal is to grow Sampson County's tax base so that our municipalities can provide services to the citizens that are needed. And with that is a challenge," said Swope. "You look at the budget and you say how are we going to do this? Every year, it is a challenge. Our goal is to help with that challenge."
Swope pointed out two projects, one being the long-discussed poultry-litter incineration plant Fibrowatt, which has not come to fruition, and biorefinery Chemtex, which is currently in the works for location in the Clinton Industrial Rail Park.
Chemtex would bring a taxable investment of $90 million, or 2.2 percent of tax base, and pay $650,000 in property taxes the first year. Fibrowatt, which proposed an investment of $145 million, or 3.57 percent of the county's total tax base, has not happened after Sampson was announced as the site nearly five years ago.
"Fibrowatt, unfortunately, has not come around to reality," said Swope. "They picked Sampson County, they wanted to come to Sampson County. If they had gotten a power purchase agreement back in 2008 or 2009, their plant would be up and running and they would be paying a property tax bill of $1 million (the first year). We would have given a portion of that back as incentives, but that is a significant tax bill."
Swope said he is optimistic about Chemtex, a company that has pointed to Clinton as its prime destination but a plant opening is at least two years away and everything is still very much in the works.
I-40 potential
Swope said it was important to appreciate the exits Sampson County has on the interstate, as well as the county's strategic location between major ports, RDU Airport, regional metro areas and military bases.
"We have good regional assets we're right in the middle of," he noted. "Just about every prospect that contacts us says we want to be within an hour of a major airport. We're very fortunate that we're an hour from Raleigh-Durham Airport. We're also fortunate that we're an hour from the Port of Wilmington."
About 35 percent of the projects that looked at the Southeast region of North Carolina in the past year were "port-related," said Swope, meaning they would utilize the port and could not be more than an hour away from it.
"We're one of only two counties that can say we're within an hour of the Wilmington port and within an hour of Raleigh-Durham Airport," Swope noted. "That's one of our significant, unique advantages."
There are two huge resources along I-40, including Exits 348 and 355. Even if just one-fourth of the buildable acres are developed on those exits, the tax revenue would still be substantial.
According to Swope, Exit 348 has 1,028 buildable acres. Should all land be developed, the taxable building investment would be about $493 million. With 25 percent success, that would be roughly $123 million, with property taxes of $1,596,376.
Exit 355 has 1,180 buildable acres and the total taxable building investment would be about $566 million. With 25 percent success, that would be roughly $141 million and a tax bill of $1,849,460. Even cutting that in half, from 25 percent to 12 percent, the tax revenue would still be around $900,000, Swope said.
"What that shows is the potential of our interchanges to develop into tax revenue-generating resources," he remarked.
The potential property tax base could have a stabilizing and strengthening effect on the overall tax base in Sampson. Currently, the county requires a two-year time frame to ready those sites with water and sewer, and related infrastructure — some prospects are out immediately when hearing that.
"If you have the water and sewer in place and have these analysis and tests in place, you get a whole lot more prospects than if you don't," Swope said. "Right now, we're getting prospects on I-40 that are going to take a two-year timeframe. There are potential opportunities and examples of site projects we are working to attract, but we are limited because we don't have infrastructure at the interstate and don't have analysis done."
The Newton Grove exits have water and sewer, but "not huge volumes," said Swope. One problem is finding sizable acreage sites so impact projects — the distribution sites and manufacturing plants — can be developed, said Swope.
"Now we're in a position that we can compete if a project takes two years. We can meet that time frame," he said. "If they can get their distribution center or manufacturing plant up in a year, we can't make it in a year. I know we can recruit those kinds of projects that can make a difference, but we'll be limited in the number of projects we can recruit because the ones that only have a year timeframe — we won't get their attention."
'Doesn't look good'
With Chemtex, he said, it is going to take four to six months for engineering, four to six months to obtain right of way easements for water and sewer lines and more than a year for construction. "You're up against 22 months there," said Swope. "Most projects don't have that amount of time."
Local limitations are not just at I-40, but also N.C. 24. Limited existing utilities, especially in the western part of the county, are not abundant and would need to be established or extended.
Swope said it was important to get the kind of impact projects that could not just garner tax dollars, but improve the quality of life for all citizens of the county. He expressed the desire for the Board of Commissioners to meet with the Economic Development Commission to further discuss how Sampson's ability to recruit industry can be enhanced.
"When I look at the bottom line, what is done in terms of the industry that is coming to Sampson County in the last 10 years, it just doesn't look good to me," said Commissioner Albert Kirby. "It does not look like we've brought in a lot of business. It seems like there hasn't been a lot of headway."
Swope said he and the EDC Advisory Board believe there is a direction Sampson should go to reach its potential, but it needs further discussion with county officials.
"We have an idea. We think we can advance Sampson County," he said. "It involves money: not property tax money but part of the general obligation. We would like to talk to you about this very thing."
Those ideas revolve around I-40, which Swope said is vital to Sampson's success.
"As an economic developer, I wouldn't want to be in a county that doesn't have an interstate. I want to be there. Site location consultants consider those like gold, if you have an interstate and exits," Swope told commissioners. "We would like to talk to you more about that in the future."

A spokesman at Joint Base Lewis-McChord said Friday the base was remiss in not informing residents of a major change in air routes that has resulted in dozens of public complaints about helicopter noise this month.
More than 50 residents living south of the Army base have lodged complaints since the first week of July, when helicopters began flying outside Lewis-McChord for the first time to reach training areas.
Neighbors say the aircraft are flying too often, too low and too late, rattling windows as well as nerves and interrupting sleep.
"We should have done a lot better in notifying our communities that we are going to begin flying these new routes, especially because they were off the installation," said Joe Piek, the base spokesman.
As a result of the complaints, the base commander is deciding whether to adjust the air routes or increase the altitude of the helicopters that fly them. It's uncertain when he will make that decision.
A base official says the heavy traffic is expected to drop off in a month anyway as aviators finish getting familiar with the new routes.
The complaints underscore the growing pains at the base, which has seen a decade of additions to its ground combat forces that now extends to the air, as well.
The fleet of helicopters assigned to active-duty, National Guard and Reserve units has swelled by half, to 150 from 100. The arrival of the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade and its 1,800 soldiers account for the bulk of that increase.
Lt. Col. Geoff Crawford, commander of a battalion assigned to the 16th CAB, has said he'd work to minimize the impacts of his unit's training on civilian neighbors.
"We do understand that we have a relationship with the community," Crawford told The News Tribune in May, after arriving with the first Apache combat helicopters to be assigned to Lewis-McChord, "and if we don't have the support of the community, it makes our job that much harder, so we have to respect that and work with them."
Michelle Beck is one resident who feels the base isn't holding up its end of the bargain. She moved to Lacey from Sea-Tac in April partly to escape the air traffic over Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Her respite ended this month. She said she's been awakened at night by a series of low-flying helicopters over her home just east of the Lacey city limits.
Beck said she counted 17 passes in the 5 1/2-hour period she was home Tuesday afternoon and evening, and they continued until 1 a.m. Wednesday. She tallied seven passes from 10:30 p.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. Thursday. She finally gave up and got out of bed.
"It's just a bombardment of noise," she said.
Beck is tired, frazzled and upset, both at the noise and the fact that base officials didn't alert neighbors about an impact that she worries is harming her health and property value.
The noise is a consequence of a major change in how aviators at Lewis-McChord fly to and from the 12 areas designated for helicopter training on the installation.
"The old routes (to get to the training areas) were all on the post," explained Robert Rodriguez, the official responsible for managing Lewis-McChord's airspace. "We had to move them off the post because we have an increase in aircraft, and we basically had to find a way to get to the training areas with the large amount of aircraft we have now."
Rodriguez and his colleagues developed two one-way U-shaped routes that veer into Thurston County to accomplish this. The first counter-clockwise "blue" route passes over Yelm and Lake St. Clair, while the second clockwise "red" path goes out farther and directs helicopters over a group of lakes in and near Lacey and close to the city of Rainier before turning them north.
Planners couldn't chart a route farther west without encroaching in the Olympia Regional Airport's protected airspace, and going east would lead to conflicts with other training areas, he explained. Directing helicopters over the group of lakes seemed a good option because it's less populated, Rodriguez explained.
"It was a very hard task and not easy to find the right route," Rodriguez said.
Vanessa Olson and her husband Mike have lived in the neighborhood on the north end of one of those water bodies, Long Lake, for 35 years. They've heard the occasional military helicopter overhead but never anything like this. Wednesday night, Olson tallied one to three helicopters flying overhead each hour between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., increasing to one every five minutes between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
The aircraft have rattled windows and items on shelves and awakened the couple.
"I'm so sleep-deprived, it's crazy," she said. "We're all walking around with bags under our eyes and like zombies."
Olson supports the military — her son is a civilian contractor who has worked in Afghanistan — but said Lewis-McChord is large enough that the helicopters can find less populated areas to fly over.
"I understand they have a job to do, but not over my house," she said. "I didn't want to live in a war zone."
Base officials say every one of the about 500 aviators assigned to units at the base must fly the route both day and night to get familiar with it, sending up an unusual amount of air traffic in a short period of time. Rodriguez said aviators are required to stay at least 1,000 feet off the ground while flying the two routes. Air traffic controllers track the altitude, and he said there have been no violations.
He said the train-up flights should conclude in about a month.
"Once that's done, then the frequency and amount of traffic in that particular air corridor should taper off by between a third and a half," Piek said.

Scores of others have since followed suit, with the frequency of the self-immolations increasing significantly last year, according to Free Tibet.
Protests in other countries
Several other Tibetans have carried out self-immolations in other countries, including India. And on Wednesday, a Tibetan man set himself on fire in front of a famous Buddhist shrine in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu, police said.
The man later died of his injuries while undergoing treatment in a hospital, police spokesman Keshav Adhikari said Thursday.
Sandwiched between China and India, Nepal is home to thousands of Tibetan refugees. Many of the Tibetans who cross the Himalayan border from China into Nepal eventually make their way to India, where the Tibetan government in exile is based.
But Tibetan refugees in Nepal have claimed the Chinese government officials are pressuring their Nepalese counterparts to make the country less hospitable to Tibetans.
Beijing has taken a tough line on Tibetan self-immolators and their associates inside China, accusing the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, of fomenting unrest.
Last month, a court in southwestern China gave heavy sentences to two ethnic Tibetans convicted of murder for "inciting" people to set themselves on fire.
The Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 after a failed uprising, has long denied China's assertion that he's seeking Tibetan independence. He says he wants only enough autonomy to protect its traditional Buddhist culture.
Beijing rejects accusations of oppression, saying that under its rule, living standards have greatly improved for the Tibetan people. It makes centuries-old historical claims on the region.

Restoration award bid for flood-hit Main Street
Last updated at 21:20, Thursday, 09 August 2012
Cockermouth's Main Street has been nominated for a national heritage award.
The restoration of the street following the 2009 floods has been nominated in the English Heritage Angel Awards, which were launched last year by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The awards recognise volunteers who have worked on threatened buildings, monuments and other heritage sites.
It has been shortlisted in a category that recognises the best rescue of a heritage site and will go up against the Regal Cinema in Worcestershire, Stow Maries World War I airfield in Essex and the Salcombe Cannon site and Moor Sands wreck sites on the south Devon coast.
It is the fourth major award nomination for the Main Street scheme.
Darren Ward, architectural advisor for Cockermouth Civic Trust and chairman of the town's shopfront regeneration scheme, said: "It is recognition for what the team has achieved.
"Hopefully other local authorities can learn from what we have achieved by turning a disaster into a golden opportunity."
The awards judges include Lloyd Webber, broadcaster Melvyn Bragg and English Heritage's Simon Thurley.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on October 22.

Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Now aren't these the prettiest little stilettos you've ever seen? This is a great tutorial on Bonnie Hunter's site. I think they are beautiful! http://quiltville.blogspot.com...marys-stilettos.html Nicki We live in the home of the free...because of the brave. | |||
Those are wonderful! Last year I made some with bamboo skewers and it was a nightmare. The holes in the beads had to be enlarged and that took lots of patience and sweat trying not to break them. How smart to use turkey pins. I've still got lots of beads to use. TFS | ||||
Saw that awhile ago...looked for similar turkey lacers...no could find. Checked 3 kitchen stores + "grocery store," as suggested in post. Found ones way thicker that couldn't be unbent or threaded with beads. Didn't feel like messing with online searching/ordering so gave up on idea! Back to using either a tiny metal crochet hook, or a pointy metal tool used for clay/pottery, or just my fingers (at risk). Not pretty but they work. | ||||
I bought a stiletto years ago and love it but before that, I used to use the point of my stitch/thread cutter. You know, the thing one uses to remove stitches. It works as well. I have several of those lacers in my kitchen drawer. I'm going to have to try one in beads of my favorite colors. Need some metal glue first. I printed off the instructions for later. Thanks. | ||||
Thanks would be a nice Christmas gift for my quilting friends. Just looks so cool. | ||||
Boy, was I surprised when I looked at this. (looked before I read everyones post) I thought it would be a quilt with high heels on it. LOL That is a neat thing to make. Might this be another notion that is like the pincushion? I never thought I needed one until Sue bought me one in Vegas, now we wonder how I ever managed without it. | ||||
Love the look, bookmarked it to make for several Christmas gifts. | ||||
Haha, I thought It was going to be high heels with quilting designs, lol. Dd just glittered the bottom of a pair of her heels too so decorating real shoes was on my mind. | ||||
Oooooo. Someone with more time than me needs to make these for the boutique part of COF in Branson! Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
If you can't find them now, they might be available before Thanksgiving. OT: been watching the Olympics for two days with side by side photos of the same scene. Just realized I'm on a 3D channel. Didn't even know there was such a thing! LOL | ||||
Toryam, glad I wasn't the only one. | ||||
Adorable | ||||
I put it in search on amazon and it came up. Don't know if would in other stores online. Just in case some wanted some right away, might help for searches. | ||||
My quilt group had the Christmas party in August this year to include the snowbirds. We each got one of these as a gift. Keep calm and carry on Life is good!!! Patty (KD0ICU) In God We Trust http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j66/PattyannC/ | ||||
So that is what they are used for. TFS | ||||
Sherry, I will have some stilettos and stylists on hand in my boutique...not exactly like these, but pretty just the same. Hugs, | ||||

How to buy Metal Shop?
Like (0)
So I was planning on buying the Pod Farm 2.5 Platinum but instead just got the standard version and want to download the Metal Shop. I got the Pod Farm 2.5 working perfectly but now when I try to buy the Metal Shop I have to select what hardware the expansion pack is for. When I select computer it just says "Sorry, nothing available for Computer." I have an Mbox set up for my I/Os and Pod Farm works with it just fine, but I don't have any Line 6 hardware to select to buy the expansion and the computer category doesn't list anything. How do I go about buying the Metal Shop pack for Pod Farm?
just pick any hardware.... its some sort of system glitch... that they don't show the computer as an option.....
HINT: check prices on different hardware... sometimes the prices are different and you can save some money.
once you buy the license you'd just need to use the license manager and authorize your computer.
Alright, thanks! It was really confusing me, but I got it working!
Stay in the mix and in the know.

A Grand Forks police drug recognition expert says it's not only young people who are using synthetic drugs.
A Grand Forks police drug recognition expert says it's not only young people who are using synthetic drugs.
Sergeant Travis Jacobson says police are seeing synthetic drug use among various age groups since synthetics typically do not show up in drug testing.
"Synthetic it's actually being made in a lab," said Jacobson. "The reason they make synthetic, a lot of times, is to forego the drug test. A lot of these substances are not found on your regular drug panel screenings. People will use the synthetics versus the real stuff because they want to keep their job."
The Grand Forks School District has sent out an e-mail to more than 4,500 parents, urging them to watch for any sign of synthetic drug use. Unusual behavior is one indication.
Authorities are on high alert due to a bad batch of drugs circulating throughout the Red River Valley.
An 18-year-old East Grand Forks man has been charged with murder, manslaughter and supplying drugs to a 17-year-old Park Rapids boy who died after he took a synthetic drug mixed in with chocolate.
A 22-year-old Grand Forks man has been charged for providing a drug that killed an 18-year-old Grand Forks man.

From: Mark Leonard Office: Corte Madera, CA
Sun, Jun 29, 2008
Dear Friend, My name is Mark Leonard. In the last five years, I went from a 20 year career in high-tech to owning multiple franchises. Not just any franchise – the franchise ranked #1 by Entrepreneur Magazine 15 times. Along the way, I learned inside secrets that the franchise industry does not want you to find out. Secrets that will teach you...
How to quickly assess whether you can make BIG MONEY and achieve FINANCIAL FREEDOM with a franchise. Do you know that while the franchise machine is cranking out dreams of Making it Big by becoming a franchisee, countless franchisees are struggling to make rent and payroll?
Now, for the first time, you are going to get the inside secrets...
The same secrets that savvy entrepreneurs are using to achieve their financial goals…
And yes, we'll tell you that you can make a big income as a franchisee and start doing it very soon... AND that there are ugly traps that you need to avoid if you don't want to lose everything.
If you're skeptical, I don't blame you. Especially if you don't know anything at all about me.
You see, about 7 years ago, my wife and I had saved up some money, and we weren't very confident in the volatile industries where we had our jobs. We wanted to invest in a business that we could call our own, and which would provide some financial security for our future. We wanted a safe, but profitable, investment. Franchises appealed to us because it seemed like going into business with the help of a rich, benevolent uncle.
So we jumped in, full throttle. And the last 7 years have been an adventure with lots of discoveries.
Stick around, and I'll tell you how I discovered ...
When we first started to look for a franchise, we had to settle for using "trial and error" to find whatever we could about franchising.
And yet, I always had a sense that I wasn't getting the full story.
I hit a cap.
It was like there was an invisible glass ceiling that said...
"You can only find out 'this much', and there's NOTHING you can do to go beyond it."
Unless you have a family member in the business, there's only so much information you can get about the realities of the franchise business.
And make no mistake. It is a system, just like they tell you it is.
If you are going to have a prayer of being successful, you need to learn:
Now, you can find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...
I'm here to help you get that truth…
When I discussed with my wife whether we should reveal this information, we decided we should either reveal everything we could… or not do it at all.
Here is the other thing you need to know. I don't know how long I will be able to offer this book. Frankly, the information and insights revealed in this book are so explosive that I even considered writing it under a pen name. Insights like:
Click play to listen to what Seth has to say ... "This book is like a jolt of strong coffee for the dreamy entrepreneur drunk on thoughts of a multi-unit operation and taking over the world from there. I first encountered Mark at a franchise convention where I'd spend the day hearing that, yes, all my dreams could come true. At the end of the day I attended Mark's lecture and heard something very different. Not quite "no they can't," but rather "they can, but." This book, from which the lecture was derived, isn't about dispelling your dreams. But by placing them in context, it's the kind of tough medicine you need to cure you of your delusions and set you on a path, if you still choose to, toward solid franchising. This book is easy to read, short, to the point and told from the point of view of someone who was in your shoes, pursued your dreams, failed some and succeeded some, and lived to tell about it. Do not dream of buying or starting a franchise without first reading this book. It's that simple." --Seth G., New York, New York
"I have tremendous praise for this book by Mark Leonard… he has the courage to write the truth. The information is extremely valuable, especially for first time franchise buyers…" Fayaz Karim, Irvine, CA
"…inside information can be the most difficult kind of information to acquire. Mr. Leonard's book contains exactly the kind of insider information and real world guidance you need to help you make a wise decision about your investment in a franchise. Beginnings are easy and often exciting, but endings are not always "happily ever after". Mr. Leonard's book will assist you in finding that sometimes elusive happy ending. It makes me feel good to be able to recommend "49 Secrets" to you. Please take the time to read it before you risk another penny in pursuit of a franchise dream. " -- Pam, in Kentucky
"…I highly recommend this book. …it reconfirmed everything I believe in and my decision to not go with a franchise… I think this book is a MUST for anyone considering a franchise, or anyone considering buying a small business… …a lot of good information and insight…" -- Steve Wear, Tiburon Mail Services
You could do this all on your own.
All you have to do is:
The bottom line is that the information contained in this eBook is easily worth thousands of dollars. I've had clients pay me $2,000 each for the information you are about to claim. And you are going to get it for not $2,000, not $1,000, not $500.
In fact, you will not even pay $100 for this information… IF YOU ACT RIGHT NOW.
It is critically important to me that you get this information right now if you are seriously investigating a franchise. So, I am going to offer you 3 amazing bonuses for acting quickly:
Bonus #1: Replay of Interview with Fayaz Karim ($19 Value)
Fayaz Karim is an extremely knowledgeable, well-known business broker in California who owned multiple Subway stores, was a Development Agent for 2 franchise systems, is a Chartered Accountant, and has owned and operated many independent businesses. Earlier this year I interviewed Fayaz, asking him questions that had been submitted by a crowd of prospective franchise buyers. This valuable replay will shed much light on the business acquisition process.
Bonus #2: Replay of my Seminar at the International Franchise Expo ($49 Value)
I presented a one-hour seminar at the West Coast Franchise Expo in Los Angeles in October, and at the International Franchise Expo in April in Washington, DC. Here are sample comments I received from the attendees: Comments from Conference Evaluations: "The best of 5 seminars I attended" "One of the best seminars in this expo. Thank you." "Speaker was informative and knowledgeable." "Excellent seminar for anyone considering buying a franchise." "Needed more course materials." [Note: I fixed this with the next course. -Mark] "Relevant and providing wonderful insights on research options and suggestions." "Love the realistic experiences and connection to the bigger picture." "A little less doom-a-gloom. Honesty and openness is great, but a bit more emphasis on the positive would be more effective. Overall great info." "Appreciated the speakers candor regarding his personal experiences. The course provided a good overview of rules involved with franchising." "Great presentation that tells it like it is." "Mark really make me think about what it takes to be successful." Sample Emails after the Seminar Mark, It was GREAT meeting you and Julie. Your lecture was the best by far. --Ramy & Reem Hello mark: Thanks for your kindness. Your presentation last Sunday was OUTSTANDING. When I decide to purchase a franchise, I'll seek your consultation. --Ron Carter The Carter Agency P.S. Thanks for the tip on "first time" Franchise purchase. When you now buy the "7 Steps" eBook, I will give you unlimited access to my 1-hour seminar, PLUS the course handout materials. This seminar will be available for purchase for $49.

PPS: I take 100% of the risk.

ACU Falls To NW Missouri St.
By: Lance Fleming / ACU Athletics Media Relations
Updated: November 21, 2009
MARYVILLE, Mo. -- For the second straight season, Northwest Missouri State put an end to Abilene Christian's football season, this time in dominating fashion with a 35-10 victory at Bearcat Stadium in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
The Bearcats (11-1) advance to the national quarterfinals to play either No. 1 Central Washington or Tarleton State. The Wildcats finish their fourth straight playoff season with a 9-4 record.
Last season the Bearcats ended ACU's perfect season with a 45-36 quarterfinal victory at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene. Two huge fumbles by the Wildcats - one at the Northwest 1-yard line and one on the opening offensive play of the second half - sealed ACU's fate on Saturday.
Northwest took the opening drive and went 77 yards to a score, a drive capped by an 8-yard run by LaRon Council just 2:14 into the game. ACU answered, though, with a 51-yard drive that was capped by a 29-yard field goal by Morgan Lineberry, cutting the lead to 7-3 with 6:38 left in the first quarter.
On Northwest's ensuing drive, the Bearcats moved from their own 17-yard line to the ACU 49 before Blake Bolles was intercepted at the ACU 28-yard line by Josh Wise. ACU then began to move the ball, pushing down to a first-and-goal at the Northwest 3-yard line after a couple of big third-down conversions.
But on third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, ACU quarterback Mitchell Gale had the ball knocked out of his hand by Willie Horn and Josh Lorenson recovered at the 1-yard line.
"That was totally my fault," Gale said of one of the game's biggest plays. "I was just trying to do too much and got the ball knocked out of my hands."
After an exchange of punts, Northwest took over at its own 15-yard line with 6:51 left in the first half and holding a precarious 7-3 lead. After a Council run and a Bolles pass to Nick Rhodes moved the ball to the 29, Bolles faked a handoff to Council and kept around left end and went untouched for a 71-yard score that gave the Bearcats the cushion they needed.
ACU had a chance to get on the board again late in the first half, moving from its own 49-yard line after a Fred Thompson interception and driving to the Northwest 23-yard line. But Lineberry missed a 39-yard field goal to keep the halftime score 14-3.
The Wildcats received the opening kickoff, but on the first play, Reggie Brown fumbled and Aldwin Foster-Rettig recovered at the Wildcat 17-yard line. Three plays later, Council scored from 1 yard out to make it 21-3, effectively putting a wrap on the game and the Wildcats' season.
The Bearcats added a couple of more touchdowns before Daryl Richardson scored ACU's only touchdown on a 1-yard run with 2:01 to end the scoring.
Gale finished the game 21 for 33 for 175 yards, while backup Zach Stewart directed the touchdown drive, finishing 3 of 4 for 33 yards. Brown led the Wildcats in rushing with 72 yards on 18 carries.
Northwest's offensive effort was led by receiver Jake Soy, who had seven
catches for 141 yards. Bolles completed 15 of 20 passes for 229 yards and one
touchdown, but did throw three interceptions. Council finished the game with 87
yards rushing and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

Staff Report
The Cumberland City Council opted to freeze wages for city employees during a meeting on Tuesday. Mayor Carl Hatfield advised the council of his plan.
"I have my intentions of raising some pay when and if we get a budget started," said Hatfield. "We've got some key personnel that are really coming through for this city. The only way we can continue to progress is to depend on the people who can do that work. To keep those people we have to pay them."
Hatfield proposed an across the board pay increase for all city employees. Employees making $7.20 to $9 per hour would get a 3 percent increase, those making from $9 to $11 would get a 2 percent increase, and anyone making over $11 per hour would receive a 1 percent increase in wages.
"That varies anywhere from 24 cents to 18 cents an hour pay increase for those people," said Hatfield.
Council member Carolyn Elliott did not agree with the proposal.
"I totally disagree with giving an across the board raise at this time," said Elliot. "The mines have just closed. Coal severance tax is going to be down. We have people going to leave the area. We have priorities in the city as far as things that need to be done, like sending people for training and etc. I honestly feel like we need to sit and look at the budget — our income versus our outcome — before we establish another pay raise."
According to council member Charles Raleigh, the time is not right for pay increases.
"As much as I'd love to give every employee a raise, there's just no way we can afford it," said Raleigh. "You look at the time we're living in and what just happened with the coal mines. That coal severance money is going to hit rock bottom. It's not that the people aren't worth it, but some of them have not even got past their probation period and you're already talking about raises. I just don't see how we can afford it period."
Council member David Dixon made the motion during his comments.
"I make a motion to freeze all hourly wages for employees on the city of Cumberland payroll effective Jan. 8, 2013," said Dixon.
The motion was passed by roll call vote with no opposition from the panel.

Published May 1, 2000.
When we wanted a great biscuit recipe that could be made quickly and easily and that wouldn't require cutting fat into flour or rolling out dough, we used heavy cream in place of butter, which resulted in a lighter, more tender biscuit. For our easy biscuit recipe, we simply kneaded the dough for 30 seconds until it was smooth and uniform, shaped the biscuits, and then popped them into the oven immediately to keep them from spreading.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.
In America's Test Kitchen, our motto is, "Recipes that Work," and our mission is to be your trusted source for recipes that work every time you use them.

Ghalegaun Trekking |
Ghalegaun, situated at the foot of Lamjung Himal in north central Nepal, is an exotic pristine village endowed with an unparallel scenic grandeur and a home to world famous Gurkha soldiers- the Gurungs. Repository of a unique ethnic culture Ghale gaun is a true microcosm of stunning natural beauty mixed with an unspoiled ethnic lifestyle. Khudi in Lamjung District is a major gateway to the Annarpurnas, a famous trekking destination. The beautiful villages of Ghalegaun and Ghanpokhara lie to the Northwest of Khudi at the top of the nearby hills. They are situated at an altitude of 2016 meters and 2050 meters respectively. Ghalegaun and Ghanpokhara are mainly Gurung settlements nestled amidst mountains, rivers, streams, waterfalls and green forests. Trekking in the Annapurna Region…Nature's delights envisaged in eco-realities… The Annapurna region is geographically based towards the north of Central Nepal. This area is known to be the most popular and a major trekking destination in Nepal. According to a recent survey by the Trekkers Paradise Group (TPG-USA) Annapurna region has been recognized as one of the world's best trekking trails to hike on. More than 40,000 tourists annually visit this area. The Annapurna trekking region consists of peaks Annapurna I, II, III, IV, those of Annapurna South peaks, Mt. Dhaulagiri and several other peaks. The major highlights when trekking in this region are the ancient mid-western salt route settlements of Manang, Thorong La pass between Nepal and Tibet, Muktinath Temple and the deepest gorge of world Kali Gandaki. The Gateway to the Annapurna trekking region is the famous city of Pokhara. Mustang, or Lo Manthang, the desert plateau located in the upper valley of the River Kali Gandaki, and to the north of the main Himalayan range also falls in this region. Tourist access to Mustang is controlled to help retain its exclusiveness. The highlights of the trek include the visit to the Mustang Palace, the visit to Lo Manthang and pony rides up to the Nepal-Tibet border. The region is said to have seven ethnic groups living and working in this area, from Hindu farmers to Tibetan Lamas. The most prominent ethnic groups of Annapurna region are Gurungs, Thakali and Manangba. Due to the extremes of elevation the region contains a remarkable diversity of flora; from sub-tropical lowland forests of oak, bamboo and rhododendron in the south to the high alpine meadows and windswept desert plateaus in the north, most bordering Tibet. The Animals found here are pika, blue sheep and Himalayan Tahr. The well known trekking routes of this region are Jomsom, Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp, Sikles, Lamjung, Dhaulagiri, Upper Mustang and within the Pokhara area. The best time to visit is in spring and autumn. Unlike other parts of Nepal, even the monsoon months are ideal to visit Upper Mustang that falls in the rain shadow area. Most trekking routes in the Annapurna region are well serviced by teahouses or better known as tea house lodges. Whatever the areas of the trek chosen, it is most likely that Pokhara would be either the starting or ending point of your trek in the Annapurna region. Encounters Nepal is highly familiar & experienced on almost every trail in this area. We'll escort you into paths hardly tread before…trek the Annapurna with us & experience unique adventure… Itinerary List

What's fresh?
(Noting what's fresh & local to know what I can grow & when and a record of fresh pickings from our garden to improve future planting plans, manage gluts better etc)
From the store:
- Spinach
- Lemons
- Kale
- Lettuce
From the garden:
Picked some rocket & parsley that had continued to grow in the garden over winter. There wasn't much there but enough to flavour an omelette. Fresh greens are good no matter how small the amount.
Sowing & Planting
(Building a record of what I need to prepare for next in the garden)
Well, all my intentions about cautious sowing & planting in last month's review have been thrown to the wind (throwing caution to the wind is a speciality of mine, but that's another story…). Inspired by books and the enthusiasm & support of those around me, I reasoned that the seedlings would be too small for an appetising goat snack for many weeks yet so we had time… and I embraced the gardening bug with renewed passion.
This year we will have a tyre wall to fill with flowers so I have been sowing seeds with the vision of the colourful, "living wall" in mind. The following have all germinated and are being potted up as they get big enough to handle:
- pansy
- stock
- cosmos
- geranium
- sunflower
- alyssum
- nicotiana
- sweet pea
Herbs are romping away in pots:
- 3 types of coriander (lemon, confetti & regular)
- basil
- chives
- sage
Tomatoes seedlings are going well, even the cherry toms which I sowed way earlier than recommended since it's already so warm here. And it looks like a couple of artichoke seeds have germinated too.
In the garden lettuce is growing well under makeshift cloches (the tops of 5 litre plastic bottles) and will need to be thinned soon. Rocket, radish & sorrel is sprouting (and possibly the odd leek, although hard to tell for sure at this stage!). Peas are pushing through in places and onion sets are pushing up green shoots.
Baking & Making
(A chance to reflect on the culinary success & failures of the month & share crafty moments)
Made my first batch of kiwi chutney in 2011. Only made 3 jars as I'm saving the kiwis (chopped & in the freezer) for a big chutney-making session with my buddy Katie on a rainy day. It was a good time to experiment with spices and chillies to see how hot I could go with the chutney this time around. I'm very pleased with the result – it's packed with delicious Indian spices and has quite a few chillies in this time (some small but lethal birdeye chillies, stored whole in our freezer & a good handful of dried red kashmiri). Photos to follow when the serious chutney-making happens…
My baking efforts this month have been based on using up gluts of ingredients. First came the lemons… this batch of lemon curd is one of my best ever. The lemons were picked from a friends garden and their flavour was sooo strong and the consistency was perfect: thick enough to stay on the bread but not too glutinous.
Next came the lamb. We roasted a lamb for our moba (see this post …) and had a verrrry meaty lamb carcass to deal with in the aftermath. First I took off all the meat. There was enough to make a morrocan lamb dish (with left over figs that had been brought to the moba and forgotten about & the dregs of a cous cous salad that a friend had contributed); a lamb curry and shredded lamb with ginger & chilli. Then came the 'boiling of the bones'… I have many tubs of stock in my freezer now and we had the first (of many!) lamb stews with one of the tubs this weekend.
And finally the bread. Loaves of bread were contributed to accompany the lamb feast but there were 2-3 whole sticks of bread untouched after the event. I took off the crust and sliced it up to make a 'special' bread & butter pudding. The dried fruit (this time figs!) is soaked in whisky for hours; the creamy-eggy mix is allowed to soak into the bread for at least an hour before baking (to make it light & fluffy) and as an extra special hit, the bread is buttered AND spread with homemade marmalade before being layered…
(Love sharing the books I'm into)
I am still working my way through "Some Other Rainbow" – the story of John McCarthy & Jill Morrell. It's not the best written book on the planet (I'm trying to be kind) but the story is incredible. It's a weighty tome so not very 'portable' hence it has sat by my bed for weeks and only been read on the rare days I retire without too knackered to keep my eyes open! I am winning. It will be finished soon. I reserve final judgment… but Jill's hairdo on the cover is a shocker!
What's the vibe?
(This month's gut reaction)
Dazed & confused – in a really good way! Hope is turning to joy as promises are fulfilled…
Flights are booked for my Dad, Steve's parents, dear friends of Steve's from way back, a long-time buddy from my school days who will be visiting with her entire family and dear friends who will have new baby in tow when they visit at the end of this summer!
The house we rent here is not without its issues during the winter months when the damp creeps into everything and the cold is hard to bear in such a rambling, open-plan space. Incredibly, our landlord has agreed to insulate the whole house, put in vents in key places to assist air circulation and install our stove. Despite this work being a sensible investment if he wants to protect and maintain the lovely structure, it's still a lot of money and a big commitment all at once so we are very impressed and very grateful. It has however meant we are living in chaos. The insulation had to go on the outside of the house, followed by mesh & glue, followed by some other material (unable to translate!) which will give the house its final texture, colour & waterproof-ness. This has necessitated scaffolding the entire house, taking off the porch, dismantling the A/C units and generally much palaver & mess! Low scaffolding with large metal bolts tend not to mix well with tall, balding men… the bleeding scabs on Steve's head are a fright to see and we will all be very relieved when the house is back to normal. Having said all this (through gritted teeth as I shrug & get on with living in a dusty, noisy mess) it is WARM chaos, as the installation of the stove was quick & trouble-free and we've been enjoying the benefits of a real fire for a couple of weeks now!
We have had our first booking, and a decent deposit to go with it! This is 4 months earlier than last year and this is the first time we have ever taken money in advance so a giant step forward for the business – yeah!
February 19th was the planned work day & it was an incredible day. We got so much done, had lots of fun and got folk camping as early as February. It was a very moving experience – folks had given up their day (and in some cases their whole weekend) to work with us. They worked really hard & there was a strong sense of community, with locals working alongside ex-pats learning new foreign words and exchanging knowledge about different cultural tools & working methods.
When one dear friend squeezed me and said, "We're all here because of you, honey", it brought tears to my eyes. But I was reminded again at how much other people gain from the experience too. The chance to sweat, work muscles, be outdoors in the sun all day, exercise & entertain their kids & dogs, eat good food, warm their bones by the fire and have the crack with a diverse and great bunch of bods, is really valued. As if all of this wasn't overwhelming enough, we were stunned at people saying: "I had such a great time, I would love to come back." Well, ok then…!
We have chatted to Peter, our would-be volunteer, and are even more excited about the prospect of him staying & helping for a month. He seems like a really nice guy and a good fit with our small team. The moba underlined to us how much work can get done with extra helping hands.
So, overall, feeling quietly amazed at the progress so far this year and excited about the future months, however February is a tough month for remembering folk no longer with us, so the joy is a little subdued…
Listening to
(Trying to listen to some new tunes every month)
Nope. Not listening enough, or carefully enough.
Fun Stuff
('Nuff said)
February always starts with a bang. The Mimosa Festival in the Boka begins the first weekend in February and with it the Herceg Novi Wine Festival… Steve & I went for a rekkie on Day 1 and he was sloshed in less than an hour! As I drove him home, chuckling to see him so merry, he was on the phone to all & sundry, urging folk to join the fun the next day.
So on Saturday there was a bunch of us, swilling wine and having a giggle, though sadly Nik missed the fun due to family commitments in the UK. Unfortunately I had forgotten the lethal combination of: me + free wine. I got totally trashed… to the point of having 'gaps' in my memory of the afternoon & evening (this never happens to me – the last time it happened was 2 years ago, at the HN Wine Festival funnily enough!).
I do remember making the day of a small, local producer by persuading everyone to buy his delicious organic wine and loza (a bottle of each for 15 euros – bargain! And absolutely NO chemical aftertaste.) I don't remember why we thought it was a good idea to buy a bottle of Kosovan Brandy, nor how we got from the festival to a pizza restaurant (although thank god we did – food in my belly saved me from alcohol poisoning probably!). Thank the lord no-one thought to bring a camera! Folk piled back to ours and the drinking & merriment continued. I then sensibly drank loads of water but unfortunately went to bed just as my hangover kicked in, so tossed & turned all night with some creature trying to get out of my head…
I've already blogged about our amazing moba but here are some shots of the fun stuff. Some of the more lighthearted moments in the day…
Tim Time
(Bizarre & extraordinary happenings? This is Montenegro)
The story of the dump
We wanted to find out where the palm leaves were being dumped in Herceg Novi so that we could go & collect van loads at a time (to replace the ones falling off our palm fence boundary) from one place rather than traipsing around town chasing potential palm cutters. We managed to hook up with Mil who speaks the lingo and we 3 jumped in the van to try to find the dump. We found a place with official looking vans and containers for sorting refuse but no plant debris in sight.
After a conversation with one of the guys there, he jumps into his car and we follow him. Rather than try & explain where it is, he's going to take us there. Understandable actually, as the many twists & turns we took around the back tracks of Herceg Novi's industrial suburbs soon became bewildering. At one point the road disintegrated into a black squidgy mess and the guy we were following actually had to stop talking on his mobile phone to negotiate the goo-ey trail. The van just about slid through but moments later nearly fell into a ravine as Steve misjudged the tiny track. Mil & I gasped. To be fair, Steve wasn't entirely focused on the road at that moment because he was distracted by the sight of a half built house, entirely overrun with pigs! It was indeed a pig house and it was fiercely guarded by an enormous dog whose slathering jaws came within inches of a tyre.
Eventually the guy stops and effectively says: "I ain't going any further. It's up there. Look out for a metal gate." He drives off, leaving us in the middle of frigging nowhere and I began to wonder at Mil's flippant comment of a few moments earlier: "Bloody hell, where are they taking us? Somewhere remote to be shot?" So we drive up the road to nowhere and drive right past the gate. Not a soul but plenty of piles of rotting palm leaves… We manage to turn around without getting stuck or falling in a ditch (hands are getting quite sweaty by now…) and this time stop at the gate, hoot and brace ourselves. Nista. I think at this point we are almost relieved and tiptoe our way back, as far as Transit can ever tiptoe. We manage to witness some live sex action on our way back past the pigs, which then sparks a disturbing conversation about the volume of pig semen (a tumbler full apparently, they're prolific and reknown in the animal kingdom for such!).
Now we're thinking that we probably need a Plan B for palm collection…
One Green Thing
(One more step along our green journey)
I've put a lot of thought into using recycled materials to support my gardening efforts this month. This season I hope to sow double, maybe triple than last year – if I can pull the early sowing off without Nature catching me out with a late frost or a prolonged deluge and if I can nail the succession planting thang. This means more pots and I'm determined not to buy any. Plastic bottles are being cut up and used as pots and the tops are reused as cloches for the tender seedlings growing away in the garden. I'm also growing in empty toilet roll holders & egg boxes and using thick carboard trays that beer is packed in as seed trays.
Labels are always a source of frustration. I have to label things properly or else I get hopelessly confused. Last year's efforts using old egg boxes didn't work – paper goes soggy. I needed something plastic that would be easy to write on and my glut of margarine tubs was the answer. I chopped up a couple of tubs and ended up with loads of thin, but strong, strips of plastic in a nice light cream colour, easy to see and easy to write on:
And of course some of the seeds are recycled, from last year's crop or from flowers that friends had collected for me.
Weather Report
(Charting the weather for us and our garden)
It has been another awesome month! A little more rain than January but mostly the days are bright & sunny and warm. However, there have been the occasional cold snap and in areas like Zljebi above us there's been 12+ cms of snow dumped in a morning…
Nature's waking up all around and already the wild flowers are popping up all over the place: crocuses, narcissi, violets, daisies. And the air is full of birds, bees and butterflies.

Stayed here a few times before, had an idea what to expect, love the fact it's low rise, not too many around the pool, good location, shame you have to... pay for your in room safe/iron/fan/internet, most accomadations tend to give these as part of your deal, also the rooms have no air conditioning if you need it don't stay here, rooms get very very warm and stuffy. Breakfast was ok, nothing spectacular about it, but the staff are polite and friendly.Rooms cleaned on a daily basis, fresh towels daily. Írta: D. (Dublin) ( 2013/05/13)

Thirty years ago, according to Michael Smith, President of the Home School Legal Defense Association, there were "only an estimated 20,000 homeschooled children (in the United States)"(HomeSchooling Community Grows Beyond 2 Million, 2011). As of ten years ago that number grew to approximately 850,000 children whose parents chose to provide their education at home; today that number stands closer to 2 million (Homeschooling, 2011).
In the past, that number was usually reflective of a predominantly Christian movement; parents who opted to provide a stronger religious component to their children's education than the public school system could constitutionally provide (Home Schooling Grows in Popularity in America; 2011). According to the US Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), the choice to educate children at home for religious reasons had increased from 72% to 83% from 2003 to 2007 (1.5 Million Homeschooled Students in the United States in 2007; 2008). So in this regard, not much has changed. Of the number of households who opted to homeschool their children, religious or moral reasons continue to be their highest concern. So while this trend continues, it's but one slice of an ever-growing pie.
The NCES study reports a marked rise of "the homeschooling rate (from 1.7% in 1999 to 2.2% in 2003 to 2.9% in 2007) represent(ing) a 74% relative increase over (an) 8-year period… a 36% relative increase since 2003 alone". While the majority of parents who chose to educate their children at home for religious factors remain to be the majority of respondents (36%); it's a majority made up of just 1/3 of those asked.

Raising the Floor: Policy Approaches to Poverty Eradication
Over the past decade, poverty reduction has been a focus of attention among policymakers, development planners and trade advocates alike. In South America, dramatic progress has been made in part due to conditional cash transfers, but future gains will depend on political accountability and governance. Meanwhile, the common language of poverty reduction ushered in by the Millennium Development Goals will have to be applied to a dramatically changed development landscape in 2015. And while trade liberalization produces both winners and losers, its impact on poverty reduction is on average positive.
