WINNSBORO — Placing a car remote with a panic alarm beside one's bedside table can be great defense against breaking and entering. If a resident hears a suspicious noise in the middle of the night, hitting that alarm can make a potential burglar realize the home is occupied and then cause that criminal to move on.
Nuggets like those were gleaned Tuesday night as a select group of Fairfield County residents and media members attended the Fairfield County Sheriff's Department's first ever Citizen's Academy.
Group dynamics were a major focus for sheriff's deputies. In some instances, people tend to view situations as society consisting of three groups: citizens, law enforcement and the criminal element. The goal of the academy is to bridge any gaps that might occur between law abiding citizens and law enforcement so society contains two groups: the criminal element and everyone else.
The first class was spent with participants getting to know each other. The six- to eight-week event is being led by Capt. Brad Douglas and Chief Deputy Keith Lewis. Other department leaders participating include Sheriff Herman Young and Capt. Dunstan Padgett with the Patrol Division.
At the end of the event, the inaugural group will provide feedback to help the department in its outreach and education efforts.
"We want to educate citizens about the sheriff's office and how we make cases," Lewis said. "We just felt like the people who pay our salaries (taxpayers) should know how we do our job each day."
Douglas highlighted the trust relationship between the department and the community, particularly if someone has confidential information about a crime or suspect. He also gave background on the department as a whole and the risk the men and women undertake daily.
According to Douglas, the patrol division is the most dangerous division because they handle domestic situations. For patrol officers who are the first on the scene of a domestic disturbance, there are any number of scenarios that can emerge with that officer winding up in harm's way.
The patrol division consists of one captain, four lieutenants and five deputies. Deputies work 12-hour shifts that alternate from day to night every 28 days. The patrol division investigates all incidents not handled by the criminal investigation division.
Douglas said that in the narcotics and criminal investigation division, they have a plan and the firepower and resources to carry out that plan. Patrol division does not have that luxury since they respond first and then react to situations.
Burglaries and property crimes over $200 are handled by the criminal investigation division due to the large amount of follow-up time those investigations require. The civil process division includes school resource officers and community oriented police programs. It consists of Capt. Frazier Craig, two lieutenants and 11 officers. This department serves civil papers and processes, provides transport of mentally ill patients and provides security at the county court house for general sessions court and family court.
The warrant division serves all warrants including out-of-county warrants. They do inmate pick-ups to transport an inmate to Fairfield from another county and coordinate fugitive apprehension operations and do warrant roundups, where off duty officers help canvass an area to see that a large number of warrants are served in as small amount of time as is possible.
The sheriff's office also contains four office workers in addition to Terrie Smith, the administrative assistant to Sheriff Herman Young. Collateral duties were discussed like evidence custodians, the dive team headed by Ron Mull and a boat patrol done by community oriented police officers during peak boating season as needed. There is a bloodhound tracking team, where patrol and narcotics officers devote extra time to working with the blood hounds.
Douglas said the officers do an exceptional job with the dogs and that he'd put the FCSD team up against SLED's any day. The community oriented police COPS program also was touched upon, with its Crime Watch, Home Alone and Kids Camp programs.
Citizens learned about the high rate of case closure at FCSD — 57 percent versus just 28 percent on average in the state. Close out means that a case is concluded by arrest or other means, such as there not being enough evidence to try a case.
Citizens were interested in burglaries in the county. Douglas also advised that if someone is home, even home alone, and a stranger comes to the door, they should do something to let the person know the home is occupied.
A child telling a strange person through the door that their parent is in the shower or someone hitting the panic button on a car alarm are two good techniques. Of course, if one feels there is a threat to his or her safety, they should call law enforcement immediately. Some thieves will go door to door and kick in the doors of unoccupied homes for quick snatch and grab robberies. The fear is that a door might be kicked in and a thief will come upon an unsuspecting resident and do them bodily harm.

Comments about Pinnacle Comfo Belt:
Easier for boat entry than having everything in the integrated BCD. Also easier for the boat crew to load and unload equipment when I wear the weights rather than have a fully loaded BCD.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
I have block weights which I use with a traditional weight belt. I wanted something easier to use especially as it relates to weight adjustments and decided to give this a try. Since then I haven't used my regular weight belt.While soft weights would suit this perfectly my 5 pound block weights fit easily and snugly into the pockets. The internal padding makes them feel soft against me and provides ample comfort. With the pockets I can easily determine before hand how I want to distribute my weights and no longer have to be concerned with shifting weights or using weight holders. This process is quick and painless.On the inside their is rubber which reduces slippage. This works perfectly with my wet suit and also my rashguard when scuba or freediving.I would defintely buy again.
Outstanding Belt!!
By Giant Stride
from Florida
Definitely the best weight belt I've ever used! I use this belt for snorkeling only since I dive a BP/W w/weight pockets. It is a little bit wider from top/bottom than I thought it would be but it's not a big deal as it's very comfortable. The rubber no-slip strip on the inside of the belt is great as it keeps the belt from spinning around you as you swim or moving up/down when you descend or ascend. The accessory rings are also handy for clipping small items to such as a small light or camera. I'm a 40" waist & got the 5 pocket belt & it fits well although the pockets only reach from side to side, not all the way around the front of my torso. It's nice having an odd number of pockets so that weight is evenly distributed if I want to use an odd number of weights. If I want an even number I just put another pound in the center pocket in the back & it's balanced.

This literally feels like a glove - there's 1" wide rubber inner lining so it doesn't shift. I could easily use the 4 pocket, but chose the 5 pocket for better weight distribution because of a center pocket. Cinched up all the way, the 5 pocket will accomodate 28". Works best with soft weights.

We intended to transfer everything from the old ELA web pages, but it is certainly possible we missed something and we understand that many visitors to our site may take a little time to get used to finding things on these new pages.
Building knowledge through content rich non-‐fiction plays an essential role in literacy and in the Standards. In K-5, fulfilling the standards requires a 50-50 balance between informational and literary reading. Informational reading primarily includes content rich non-fiction in history/social studies, science and the arts; the K-‐5 Standards strongly recommend that students build coherent general knowledge both within each year and across years. In 6-12, ELA classes place much greater attention to a specific category of informational text—literary nonfiction—than has been traditional. In grades 6-12, the Standards for literacy in history/social studies, science and technical subjects ensure that students can independently build knowledge in these disciplines through reading and writing.
To be clear, the Standards do require substantial attention to literature throughout K-12, as half of the required work in K-5 and the core of the work of 6-12 ELA teachers. 2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
The Standards place a premium on students writing to sources, i.e., using evidence from texts to present careful analyses, well-‐defended claims, and clear information. Rather than asking students questions they can answer solely from their prior knowledge or experience, the Standards expect students to answer questions that depend on their having read the text or texts with care. The Standards also require the cultivation of narrative writing throughout the grades, and in later grades a command of sequence and detail will be essential for effective argumentative and informational writing.
Likewise, the reading standards focus on students' ability to read carefully and grasp information, arguments, ideas and details based on text evidence. Students should be able to answer a range of text-‐dependent questions, questions in which the answers require inferences based on careful attention to the text.
3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Rather than focusing solely on the skills of reading and writing, the Standards highlight the growing complexity of the texts students must read to be ready for the demands of college and careers. The Standards build a staircase of text complexity so that all students are ready for the demands of college-‐ and career-‐level reading no later than the end of high school.
Closely related to text complexity—and inextricably connected to reading comprehension—is a focus on academic vocabulary: words that appear in a variety of content areas (such as ignite and commit).

The Best Electronic Cigarette Battery
The vast majority of electronic cigarette posts nowadays are about how they operate and which one of them is the greatest. The battery power is nonetheless the main part that folks ought to know about. We are likely to provide an evaluation on the best electronic cigarette battery today as a way to help people understand more about the product.
To commence it all off, allow us to first have a look on the several types of batteries which are being employed by electronic cigarette manufacturers. Basically, the designers of today are making use of the standard models which will be the KR8o8, eGo and 510. The 510 and KR8o8 are the models that are seeing a high demand at the moment coming from new customers. This is because the battery will not only look like a genuine cigarette; it also delivers the same shape and size. For most people, these are nicknamed 'Minis'.
Beside the KR8o8 and 510 are the eGo, KGo and Riva versions. When compared to the two initial models, these kinds of batteries are a bit bigger. People who smoke regularly find these larger sized batteries to give them a longer lasting charge and better vapors. Two of the strongly suggested brands here are the V2 Cigs and the Bull Smoke e-cigarettes.
For individuals that are new with utilizing electronic cigarettes, utilizing the KR8o8 and 510 battery models is extremely recommended for their first test. The reason being these batteries would be the nearest models that individuals can obtain which is not far from smoking an ordinary cigarette. It will have the same amount of vapor generated when used while having precisely the same size as a classic cigarette as well.
As of this moment, most of the buyers prefer the KR8o8 battery kind since it is easier to use than others. This battery type will work on a two part design and would certainly eliminate the trouble of having it filled again. Over dosage and nicotine leakage are the risks that happen to be posed by a liquid refill model these days. This is simply one of the reasons as to why the KR8o8 is well known as the best electronic cigarette battery folks could get.
Yet another one that is very just like this is the 510. It has only one major difference which is that the cartomizers are fastened which would be intended for bigger electric batteries. This indicates that if an individual owns an electronic cigarette using an eGo battery, they can attach the 510 design into them for a smaller sized battery use. The 510 is a great model for people that would choose to upgrade their power supply anytime soon. People may start off with the 510 after which easily upgrade to the more robust and larger versions down the line.
The local community on electronic cigarettes has decided that one of the best ways to make the most from an e-cigarette product is to for one that is made with an eGo battery model. The reason being this battery is medium in length and has a slightly bigger capacity. Much better vapors and a much longer charge life can be enjoyed by users through such versions.
Those who would consider themselves to be heavy smokers will find the medium battery types to be an ideal option. That's where the eGo model is definitely the recommended choice as it has stronger vapors and more charge life. Its main downside is that it remains to be quite costly when compared to the KR8o8 model which would still make it the best electronic cigarette battery on the market.

The truly sad thing about that picture is the fact that I saw the two of them coming toward me from about 20 fee t away and just stood there dumbfounded like some goofy kid (I was 25 1/2 at the time).

A handful of random shots. I scan 'em as I find 'em.
Which reminds me, I think I need a new scanner. Sometimes it scans photos and they come out really dark. (such as the Cheever, Crawford and Dobson photos below). Is that normal or do I need to invest in a new one?
