Though the village of Addison's 2013-14 budget is still in development, decreasing revenue and increasing expenses may make the next fiscal year problematic for village officials.
Trustee Dean Bowman, who is developing the next fiscal year's budget, said decreasing sources of revenue, increased insurance costs and general expenses, and less water usage are contributing factors to the problem.
The proposed general fund expenses budget for 2013-14 is $203,550, or $24,050 less than the previous fiscal year. Insurance rates for the village's department of public works employees increased by $16,600.
Though Bowman said he has "made some rather draconian" changes to the draft budget so far, he will continue to work over the next few weeks to present the final numbers for consideration at the March meeting.
At this point, Bowman said, there will not likely be funding for the community Halloween or Christmas festivities, nor money to do the annual leaf pickup. Donations may be sought with the holiday celebrations.
Bowman said one of the budgets he is closely examining is the water and sewer budget. The council proposed increasing the water use rate from $3.20 to $4.20 per 1,000 gallons used, increasing the ready-to-serve charge from $12 to $24 per month, and raising the monthly sewer rate from $26 to $35. The increases may be needed to help offset a decrease in water usage.
The village also needs to figure out how to compensate for decreased funding due to a reduction in property tax sources, Bowman said.
Two properties the village may not be able to collect revenue on are the former Addison Community Hospital property at 421 N. Steer St. and the former Jo-Car Ceramics building, 140 W. Main St.
The properties failed to sell at two Lenawee County treasurer tax sales last year. The buildings were marked by the county for demolition in October.
Until the county took possession of those properties, Bowman said, the village received back tax compensation through the county.
Now that revenue — estimated at $1,000 a month — will not be available. Additionally, the hospital had five water meters.
Village officials said 102 of the village's 274 water meters are not functioning, either because the meters are shut off or are broken.
State Sen. Bruce Caswell, who was at Monday's council meeting, said municipalities stand to lose funding when the elimination of the personal property tax paid by businesses becomes effective Jan. 1, 2014.
Additionally, several businesses in the village recently ceased operations or moved out of town.
The 2013-14 budget will be brought back to the council for consideration at its March 4 meeting.
In other business
The Addison Village Council on Monday also:
— Discussed the steps of relaunching the village's planning commission. The council will review the criteria as set forth by the Region 2 Planning Commission and revisit the matter in March.
— Heard an update on a water problem in the 200 block of West Main Street. The department of public works reported that water seeping to the surface in the yard of a residence does not appear to be a pipe leak, but either an artesian well or a drain issue.
Addison budget looks bleak for 2013-14
Though the village of Addison's 2013-14 budget is still in development, decreasing revenue and increasing expenses may make the next fiscal year problematic for village officials.

A sixth Chick-fil-A restaurant will be opening in the Tuscaloosa market this summer.
A sixth Chick-fil-A restaurant will be opening in the Tuscaloosa market this summer.
The free-standing restaurant is under construction at 4900 Old Greensboro Road on the southern end of Tuscaloosa and will open on June 20, said Jeff Pritchett, who handles field operations for Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A Inc.
"We are excited about that restaurant because we will be able to serve the people passing through the area on the interstate and the people who live and work on the south side of town," he said.
"It is just a great location for serving that part of the county."
Like the other non-campus Chick-fil-A restaurants in town, the new restaurant, which will be at the intersection of Skyland Boulevard and Old Greensboro Road next to the Kmart shopping center, will be a locally owned franchise.
Pritchett said Chick-fil-A franchise owners live in the communities where they operate a restaurant.
He said he could not yet identify the new franchisee, but said the business owner is in the process of moving his family to Tuscaloosa from Arkansas and will be the third franchisee in the Tuscaloosa market.
"This (the new) Chick-fil-A will be joining our other Chick-fil-As in Tuscaloosa and Northport to better serve the community," he said.
Chick-fil-A is the nation's
second-largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain based on sales.
Its other locations in the Tuscaloosa area include a restaurant in University Mall's food court and a drive-through only restaurant at Midtown Village across McFarland Boulevard from the mall and a free-standing restaurant at the Kmart shopping center on McFarland Boulevard in Northport.
The two Chick-fil-As located on the University of Alabama campus are run by the company providing food services there, he said.
There are two separate franchise owners — one for Northport restaurant and the other for the University Mall/
Midtown Village restaurants.
Chick-fil-A is a privately owned company with about 1,600 restaurants.
It was founded by S. Truett Cathy in 1946. Cathy remains the chairman and chief executive officer of the family-owned company that has about $4 billion in annual revenue.

Sorry, but the members section has been taken down due to spam. I can't keep up with spammers who threaten to take the entire server down.
I thought I'd give an update to all the members who are impatiently waiting for the members section to return. I have now begun going over the database and started to remove all the spam users and posts. This could take a day or two. Next I'm going to make sure that when I bring the members section back up again, it will be much less prone to be overrun by spammers.
I may need a volunteer or two of the old members to take on the task of deleting any new spam user that slips through in the future. I will see what kind of solution I'll be able to implement and contact those who may be interested.
Thank you to all members of American Poems for all your awesome poems and insightful comments over the years. Due to the fact that the members section has been abused by spammers lately, I've decided to remove the members section for the time being. I hope to clear out all the spam and bring it back in the near future.

I'm actually looking forward to these sets. I have seen pics of the rest of the sets on another site and the figures that appeared on Ebay. Although some of the sets look strange the figures are great.
Of the figures the Lion characters look the most cartoony. The Wolves look cool especially the one with the scars across his eye. The crocodile faction has some good castle Lizardmen possibilities. The eagles could be good for customising and the ravens look awesome.
The Raven and Eagle characters wear a helmet with the beak over the top of a traditional Lego head. From the blurry pics it seems that all of the characters are wearing armour or loin cloths, theres no high tech or robot printing which means it should be pretty easy to convert them into castle figs. The new wing pieces look great, I can picture winged knights

Fines are being levied against hospitals with high rates of patient readmission under a provision of the Affordable Care Act targeting $8 billion in Medicare cost savings within six years, Bloomberg reports. That has hospitals nationwide, including the Cleveland Clinic, "going the extra mile to prevent the return of these boomerang patients." Under the health care reform law, Bloomberg notes, "hospitals with a high number of readmissions within 30 days can lose as much as 1 percent of their Medicare payout for fiscal 2013 and 3 percent in 2015." The program, which started with discharges beginning Oct. 1, focuses on Medicare patients suffering from heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia. The penalties may cost the industry $280 million this year, according to an August report by Medicare. Bloomberg says average fines for a hospital with a penalty is about $125,000, according to the September report from the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, which advises Congress on Medicare issues. Among steps most hospitals take: getting in touch with former patients after they've been released, urging them to keep doctor appointments; and providing free medicine to some patients who can't afford prescriptions and contact pharmacies to make sure pills are ready for pick-up. But there's only so much a hospital can do for someone who's no longer a patient. Teaching hospitals that handle especially challenging cases may get hit hard under the law's readmission provision, says Catherine Keating, chief of regional hospitals medical affairs at the Cleveland Clinic. "We don't want to penalize hospitals for taking the riskiest or sickest patients. And we don't want hospitals to feel they have to shuttle patients off to another center," Ms. Keating tells Bloomberg. In a research letter last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Karen Joynt, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, "wrote that 7 in 10 hospitals face Medicare payment cuts under the law, with 'safety-net' and teaching facilities hardest hit," according to Bloomberg. (The study reviewed records for 3,282 U.S. hospitals and medical centers.) The fines would be imposed even though readmissions often occur for reasons beyond a hospital's control, Dr. Joynt says. "If I have a pneumonia patient and they break their hip, I'm sorry, but should the hospital be penalized?" she asks.
Hospitals look to avoid Medicare penalties for 'boomerang' patients
KeyCorp has hired a Bank of America veteran as its chief human resources officer. American Banker reports that Craig Buffie will be responsible for implementing the human resources strategy for KeyCorp's 15,500 employees in the United States and abroad. He also has joined the $89 billion-asset KeyCorp's executive management team and executive council, and reports to CEO Beth Mooney. Mr. Buffie held several jobs during a 27-year career at Bank of America, the newspaper reports. Most recently, he served as its head of home loan sales and fulfillment. He's a Penn State alum and also has an MBA in finance and marketing from Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. A Key spokeswoman says Mr. Buffie replaced former chief human resources officer Johnni Beckel, who left Key last November. Mr. Buffie "possesses deep business and human resources leadership skills with a proven ability to help drive business improvement," Ms. Mooney says. He brings "a unique perspective that will enable him to lead our efforts to attract, retain and engage a diverse and talented work force."
The number of women taking the role of chief financial officer increased 35% at big U.S. companies in the past year, "putting more female executives in the top ranks of management after decades of slow gains," Businessweek.com reports. There were 54 women serving as CFO among Standard & Poor 500 Index companies as of last month, up from 40 a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Rankings. While men still account for almost 90% of CFOs in the index, "the growth marks progress for female managers at a time when there's been little change at the chief executive officer level," according to the story. Indeed, women now oversee the finances at such high-profile companies as JPMorgan Chase & Co., the newspaper chain Gannett Co. and Time Warner Cable Inc., the second-biggest U.S. cable company. The trend "comes at a time when the CFO job itself is becoming more critical," the story notes, as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which required companies to be more transparent about their finances, "thrust CFOs into the limelight and forced them to work more closely with chief executives." Still, Businessweek.com reports that making the jump to CEO remains elusive for women. "Just 21 of the CEOs at S&P 500 companies are women, or 4 percent — a figure that's barely budged in the past five years," according to the story. "Taking the top job usually requires experience running a previous business or at least a large division. That's a hurdle for some women, though CFOs are increasingly arriving at the position with more operational experience." In all, women held 14% of all senior-executive jobs last year. But 28% of Fortune 500 companies in 2012 didn't have any women in C-suite positions at all — a list that includes Apple Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Bartholin glands are located on either side of the entrance to the vagina. A cyst is a pocket of fluid in the tissue around these glands. If the cyst becomes infected, it is called a Bartholin gland abscess.
Bartholin glands make fluid that lubricates the vagina. If the glands become blocked, the fluid can back up and create a cyst. Sometimes, bacteria or viruses can develop in this fluid and lead to an infection.
Risk Factors
Women with a history of cysts are more likely to develop a Bartholin gland cyst.
Sexually transmitted infections may also increase the risk of an infected cyst.
Symptoms may include:
- A painless or tender lump on either side of the opening of the vagina
- A lump that may grow in size over time
- Pain with activities, such as walking or intercourse
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a specialist.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested if an infection is suspected. The sample may be sent for a culture or biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. If you do not have symptoms, your doctor may want to monitor your condition without treatment. Antibiotics may be advised if there is an infection caused by bacteria. Pain medication may help manage discomfort.
If your symptoms do not improve, surgery may be required. The three types of surgical options include:
A catheter is inserted into the cyst to let fluid drain out. The catheter will stay in place 4-6 weeks while the fluid drains from the cyst.
If catheterization is not effective, then an incision may be made into the cyst to allow the fluid to drain. A small opening may be left to let the fluid continue to drain.
Gland Removal
For some, the gland may be removed but this is less common.

E. McKnight Kauffer, Gwen Raverat, and the Illustration of Modernity
Date: 12:00am PDT May 12, 2013 - 3:00pm Location: Watzek Library
Watzek Library
Curated by Associate Professor of English, Rishona Zimring and 2012 graduate, Casey Newbegin, this exhibit explores artistic responses to rapid change in the period before WWII. On display at Watzek Library, through May 2013.
Whether melancholy or effervescent, the artistic responses to the conditions of rapid change in the period before WWII are arresting in their vitality and verve, and they were everywhere. We have chosen to feature and contextualize two somewhat lesser-known visual artists in order to underscore just how compelling and vivacious the art of everyday life in the early 20th century could be. Our two featured visual artists are E. McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) and Gwen Raverat (1885-1957), both of whom worked in England, where the impact of new technologies and the consequent transformation of the landscape—both urban and rural—created a fertile friction when they met up with a long tradition of pastoral poetry and art and Romantic longings for a pre-industrial Golden Age. You will not find the art of Kauffer and Raverat drawing crowds in the grandest museums. Rather, you are likely to find it familiar because it has graced a book cover, illustrated a children's book, or advertised an airline. Your eye will be arrested because both artists worked in or were inspired by the medium of the woodcut, with its boldness of line, its encouragement of geometric patterning, its tactility and sensuality. Both artists worked as illustrators and designers, finding opportunities to make art for London Underground posters, bus company advertisements, book jackets, set and costume designs for theatrical productions, and volumes of poetry and fairy tales. Their art is not just for museums, galleries, and isolated contemplation. It is for, and of, the everyday aesthetic experience, and embellishment, of modernity.
This exhibit resulted from a Faculty-Student Collaboration Grant administered by the Office of the Associate Dean with financial support from the President's Strategic Initiative Fund. Faculty member Rishona Zimring, Associate Professor of English, worked with senior English major Casey Newbegin, Lewis & Clark Class of 2012, in close collaboration with Watzek Library's Special Collections, especially Paul Merchant and Jeremy Skinner.
In her junior year, Casey enrolled in Zimring's English 333, Major Figures: Joyce and Woolf, where she studied major novels by Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. Her final paper for that class examined father-daughter relationships, and she began to develop a strong interest in learning more about Woolf's life and that of her husband, Leonard. Casey applied for and was a co-winner of the English Department's Dixon Award, which funds research and travel for junior English majors in the summer before their senior year. Casey spent the spring of her junior year studying abroad in the Czech Republic, and used the money from the Dixon Award to fund a longer stay abroad which included an early summer expedition to the University of Sussex in England, which houses papers of Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Casey not only researched unpublished materials in the archives; she also had the opportunity to develop her expertise in the visual culture of modernism, and especially Bloomsbury, by visiting museums and heritage sites in Sussex such as Monk's House, the home of the Woolfs, and Charleston, the home of Woolf's sister Vanessa Bell.
Upon returning to LC, Casey met with Zimring to discuss collaboration on modernist materials in Special Collections, where Casey was honing her skills as an archivist through her work-study job. Zimring had been working more closely with Special Collections in recent years to develop connections between her classes on modernism and the library's acquisition and preservation of modernist archival materials, such as important journal issues, examples of book and magazine design and illustration, and rare books from the period of the early 20th century. Casey's archival experience at Special Collections, her interest and expertise in British modernism, and her sharp and imaginative sense of design made her an ideal partner for the exhibit's development and realization. Meanwhile, Zimring's ongoing research and publication in the field of British modernism kept her intensely engaged as a scholar as well as a teacher in the materials and backgrounds for the project. Zimring and Casey worked together throughout the spring semester of Casey's senior year to research backgrounds for the exhibit and select engaging quotations. In the summer after she graduated, Casey and Zimring worked especially closely with Special Collections to create explanatory text and design the layout for the exhibit. Watzek Library generously funded Casey's additional work during the summer.

�Where u at?�
Read that sentence. How long did it take?
Could you text it in the same amount of time? Would you do it while driving?
While Massachusetts has had a safe-driving law banning texting while driving since September 2010, law enforcement officials have found it hard to enforce. While some believe making Massachusetts a �hands-free� state would make a difference, District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. believes changing drivers' behaviors will make an impact, too.
Mr. Early and the head of his motor vehicle homicide unit, Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey T. Travers, have conducted presentations across Central Massachusetts since April 2012 to educate teens about the dangers of texting while driving. He talks about meeting with families who have had someone die in a car crash.
�One of the hardest parts of the job is meeting these families.� Mr. Early said. �How do we prevent future tragedies?�
Statistics provided by the state Department of Transportation show 285 texting-while-driving citations for the few months of 2010 after the law took effect. In 2011, there were 1,147 citations and 1,699 in 2012.
Dudley Police Chief Steven J. Wojnar said proving someone is texting and driving is difficult without having the person admit to it or having the data in the phone downloaded.
�If you think about it, can a police officer on the side of the road who sees someone punching buttons on their phone really tell if they are texting?� he asked. �As a police officer, you are put into a tough situation there.�
Earlier this month, Mr. Early stood in front of a crowd of Northbridge High School students. He rattled off statistics. One-third of all teen deaths are due to automobile accidents; people texting while driving are 23 times more likely to be in an accident.
He then talked about Amanda P. Martin, a 17-year-old Southbridge resident who died in an October 2007 accident on Flint Road in Charlton. She received a text message just before the accident. She hit a tree after driving off the road.
�Because of Amanda, the laws were changed,� Mr. Early said.
Northbridge students then watched an AT&T produced video called, �The Last Text.� The horrific and heart-wrenching stories of people who died in text-message related accidents brought some students to tears.
A group of Northbridge High School students sat in the front row wearing �Don't Text and Drive� shirts.
Autumn Grimala, one of those students, said the presentation had an impact on her. She is already cognizant of the dangers of texting while driving. She quickly noted that several smart phones have applications that automatically tell people someone is driving and cannot respond to a text.
She gives friends the same advice when she see them texting and driving.
�I tell them to stop,� the 18-year-old said.
Worcester Technical High School students have seen the presentation that Principal Sheila M. Harrity called powerful.
Two students at the school are in the middle of a science project called, �What Public Service Announcements will have the largest impact on the student body to choose not to, or decrease using, technology (texting) while driving.�
Last month, the students watched seniors leaving the parking lot at the school and found that 34 percent of the student drivers were on their phones. After Mr. Early's presentation, 10 percent of the seniors were using their technology while driving.
�The students are also compiling data from a student survey,� Ms. Harrity said. �We are thrilled that the DA was able to bring awareness to the students and they have picked up the torch and are actively engaged in bringing awareness to this national crisis.�
Chief Wojnar believes having all phones be hands-free in vehicles is the safety solution. Legislation has been pushed unsuccessfully in the past for hands-free operation. Using technology to text, send messages on Facebook or Twitter is just part of the norm for teenagers to communicate, the chief said. Cellphone technology allows for greater online communication as well.
�Now you have this extra distraction,� Chief Wojnar said. �When you think about it, is what you are saying really that vitally important not to wait five minutes until you get home?�
Jeff Larson, president of Safe Roads Alliance in North Andover, said grabbing for the phone or people searching for a phone inside a car is another cause of accidents. It is another reason he believes hands-free is the best solution.
Police can't just grab someone's phone and look at it, either. Mr. Travers said phones are seized in crashes and the information downloaded through search warrants, but usually that happens after a tragedy has already occurred.
Worcester Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said texting while driving is a national problem. Raising awareness through programs such as Mr. Early's presentation will save lives, he said. Enforcement will continue to be a challenge as long as multipurpose cellphones are legal to use while driving, he said.
�We have all witnessed through our daily observations motorists who appear to be distracted and focused on other activities, including texting or talking on cellphones,� Chief Gemme said. �I believe that the behavior has become so prevalent that people are unaware of the activity and don't see it as problematic. However, we see the real impact on people when we respond to accident scenes and observe firsthand the consequences of not being completely focused on the operation of the vehicle.�
Parents can pass on their behavior to their children by texting and driving in front of them, Chief Gemme said. Stopping the behavior is simple: just don't do it, he said.
Jeff Larson, president of Safe Roads Alliance in North Andover, said parents and adults need education just as much as teens. In fact, most of the adults are doing the driving.
�To focus just on teens is not hitting all people,� he said. �If we only talk about teens it is not going to be effective. We have to talk to everybody.�
Mr. Early does speak to school faculty and staff as well. He knows adults have to be educated. He gave the students at Northbridge High School a message to pass along to adults.
�Police your parents. When you see them texting and driving tell them to knock it off,� he said. �Tell them it's not safe.�
