"Can't I just fish with a cork and a worm or minnow," Marjorie asked. Obviously, she did not understand the finer points of fishing. One must fill a boat with tackle to be prepared for whatever the fish prefer.
Trying not to be condescending I explained how current knowledge and technology has improved the odds of catching fish; that lures are better, hooks are sharper, rods and reels cast farther, how electronics help find fish, and new bass boats speed anglers to hot spots.
Noting how poorly our current piscatorial pursuit was progressing she responded, "But I remember when I was little, how my dad took me fishing, we just used a worm and a cork and we always caught fish, we even caught our worms the night before. It was fun!"
Ouch! I loved my father-in-law but the comparison to his rudimentary fishing skills was both unsettling and enlightening.
So, what is wrong with fishing with a cork and a minnow for crappie, a red wiggler to catch bluegill, or a nightcrawler to catch a catfish? Nothing of course – it is a great way to catch fish and have fun doing it.
Obviously, I had been depriving my bride of 50 years the opportunity to catch a "mess of fish." I became so enamored with technology and the process that she was not enjoying her fishing experience.
Since we have lakefront property with a dock, the fix was not difficult. Improving our dockside fish habitat would bring more bluegill, catfish, and crappie to the area making cork or bobber fishing more productive and fun.
Improving the habitat is doable because most fish love submerged brush, an abundant commodity in the lake area. However, not all brush is created equal. Cedars, with their horizontal limbs, make great cover for minnows and their predators, and since it is a hardwood, it lasts longer than other types of trees.
Small sycamore trees work well because they have horizontal limbs and are heavy, needing less weight to keep them submerged. However, they do not last as long as cedar. Christmas trees create good cover after the needles dry and fall off the limbs. Their downside is a relatively short life of three to four years after being submerged.
There are alternatives to submerging tree material. We chose plastic attractors that look like cones, bushes, and porcupines because they work just as well and last indefinitely. All are "some assembly required," with various models available at Osage Outdoors in Laurie and other lake area retailers or by mail order.
Check out the Honey Hole Tree and Shrub on the internet at www.pondking.com, the Porcupine attractor at www.porcupinefishattractor.com, or the MossBack Fish Attractor at www.mossbackrack.com. Each does a credible job of attracting fish to make fishing with a bobber more fun.
Of course, feeding the fish will also help keep them nearby. Fish feeders made by Moultrie and Pond King are available from Bass Pro Shops or www.basspro.com. We use fish food purchased from a local feed store.
Another proven attractor is a submersible night light. There are several available at local retailers, some are powered by a 12-volt battery, others like the AlumiGlow (see www.fishinglightsetc.com/Docklights.html) plug into an outlet on the dock.
Bluegill, crappie, catfish soon discover the food and cover, making it easy to catch them with a cork. Slip bobbers (corks) are the easiest to use because of the unique way they slide on the line. Anglers should purchase two or three and read the directions on how to rig them.
Bluegill are the easiest to catch but require light tackle, no more than 6- or 8-pound test monofilament line and small No. 6 or 8 long-shanked hooks. For bait, we try pieces of red wiggler, bacon, or one-inch-long Berkley Gulp Crickets.
Crappies prefer minnows or jigs. Lively minnows, 2- or 3-inches long, hooked through the nose with a TTI-Blakemore Mr. Crappie No. 2 or No. 1 in Code Red color is an excellent rig. If minnows are not available, try small jigs tipped with soft plastics and a Berkley Crappie Nibble. A limber rod spooled with 8- to 12-pound-test monofilament line rounds out the tackle.
For bluegill or crappie, we set the slip bobber's depth to suspend the bait three or four inches above the submerged attractor.
Catfish also hang around the dock looking for an easy meal. Try fishing on the bottom without a bobber or use a slip style with the bait set two or three inches above the bottom. Great bait choices include nightcrawlers, chicken liver, shrimp, or a hot dog chunk.
Novice anglers should use some caution when handling catfish, their barbs can cause a painful puncture in the hand. YouTube has numerous clips on how to handle catfish.
You were right Marjorie, it is fun catching a mess of fish with a cork baited with a worm or minnow, and now you can do it from the comfort of our dock!
Can I fish too?

Recently, about 20 children were taking part in the precious daily rite afforded American elementary school students snack time inside a Needham Elementary School classroom.
At one table, kids bit into apples and chatted amiably. At another, one little girl showed her friend the best way to prepare animal crackers, a delicate culinary process that involved thrusting them headfirst into the table.
What made this classroom different than all the others was that it was filled with home-schoolers, whose parents had enrolled them in Durango School District 9-Rs Shared School Learning program, where, twice a week, home-school kids are welcome to take classes at Needham.
District spokeswoman Julie Popp said public schools have a lot to offer children who arent enrolled in them.
Socialization is really big, a very important aspect of education, said Popp. The district opens its doors to any kid in the region. We even have some from Ignacio.
Popp said the program is a sign of its commitment to school choice, whereby every student could participate in sports, drama, music, clubs and special enrichment programs. It supports the model of learning that the school district endorses as a whole, she said, so if a kid wants to pursue math beyond his parents level, he can supplement with an AP calculus class at Durango High School.
The districts take on home-schooling come one, come all and even its tone of voice, marks a departure from public schools traditional view of home-schoolers, just as the 44 students now enrolled in the program mark a departure from home-schoolers traditional view of public schools.
Historically, the antagonism between public schools and home-schoolers has been stark, and public dialogue frequently careened into vilification.
Home-schooling was viewed as the domain of religious extremists, bohemian losers and even cunning child-abusers. And education aside, denying kids the chance to go to public school was denying them a full experience of life, complete with band practice, bullying, proms, detentions, pig dissections in science class, student government elections, and ill-destined auditions for Our Town.
Such arguments were easy to make as recently as the 1970s, when the number of children being home-schooled in America hovered around just 10,000.
Today, nearly 2 million children are home-schooled nationally, and the home-school movement once eager to reject public schools as hotbeds of iniquity and academic failure is increasingly assertive.
Within the local home-schooling community, some members are sticking to the hardline.
Tommy Meadows, who has three children and served for years as president of Christian Home Educators of La Plata County until it disbanded two years ago, said since the 1970s, sharp criticisms of home-schooling had produced many misconceptions. Meadows said he and his wife Holly had attended public school, where theyd been elected prom king and queen. While kids yearning for the typical high school experience was something we relate to strongly, Meadows said his family hadnt taken the district up on its offers of support.
No, and I dont want them to, he said. The thing that I believe the Bible teaches about education is that the government doesnt do it, Meadows said.
But, in interviews, many parents saw programs such as Shared Schooling as opportunities to take an a la carte approach to their childrens education, combining the individualized academic rigors of home-schooling with the inherent adventure, curricular range, and broad social exposure provided by public school.
Karen Edmondson, who runs Pine River Community Learning Centers Wednesday home-schooling program, said when she saw her child struggling in public school, she decided to home-school her.
It worked out really well. Theres a lot of distraction in a public-school classroom, not that thats bad, but some kids have a harder time focusing. In just a couple of years, we were able to cover four years of material. Edmondson said her daughter had since re-enrolled, at Bayfield High School.
In art class at Needham, fifth-grader Bailey Smith said she loved home-schooling. While she enjoyed learning at Needham, too, she said she sometimes found classes with other students overwhelming. What she really looked forward to at public school was drama class.
Third-grader Julian Colby said by being in the districts Shared Learning program, we get the benefits of school, but we also get to hang out with our parents, and they are very nice.
His mother, Sarah Illsley, said while home-schooling had allowed her family to pick up and travel Mexico for a year, Julian actually gets a lot of wonderful things through Shared Schooling. It offers drama, music, computer labs, physical education and Spanish. I think its a magnificent program, she said.
In part, parents willingness to use public-school resources is a sign home-schooling which touts a diverse collection of poster children, including Margaret Atwood and Tim Tebow has less to feel defensive about.
Many recent studies have found that home-school students have an edge in college admissions. The College Board, which administers the SAT, reported that home-school students tended to outscore their public-school counterparts by 72 points, or 7 percent, in 2002. According to a 2011 report by the National Home Education Research Institute, a prominent advocate of home-schooling, home-schoolers typically beat public school students by 15 to 30 percentile points on academic achievement tests.

TECUMSEH — The Tecumseh High School Symphony Orchestra has scheduled a special preview and "thank you" concert for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9.
The concert will take place at the Tecumseh Center for the Arts, 400 N. Maumee St. Admission is free, though donations will be accepted to support the orchestra as it prepares for another special concert. It is one of three school orchestras invited to perform Jan. 18 at the Michigan Music Conference (MMC). Besides Tecumseh, the Ann Arbor Pioneer High School Symphony Orchestra and a middle school orchestra from Ann Arbor are scheduled to perform.
The three-day conference is at the DeVos Center in Grand Rapids and features clinics, concerts and presentations to help music educators with professional development. Most of the 43 members of the Tecumseh orchestra will perform at the concert, said Amy Marr, who, with Michael Bough, heads the music department at Tecumseh schools.
Marr is a finalist for band/orchestra director of the year at the MMC.
The Jan. 9 concert at the TCA will feature the premiere of a piece of music commissioned by the Friends of TSO, a nonprofit organization formed to support the symphony program. Bob Phillips, who was the teacher when the TSO program began, wrote the piece, "Aspire: A Dream Fulfilled."
According to a news release, the sheet music contains a dedication that reads: "Commissioned by the Elizabeth Ruthruff Wilson Foundation in memory of Elizabeth, and dedicated to the vision of Theresa Powers, the students of the Tecumseh Schools Orchestra program and their directors, Amy Marr and Michael Bough."
The music will be added to the published catalog of Alfred Publishing Co. and available to any orchestra throughout the country. Powers, who has been with Friends of TSO since its inception, said she was flattered.
"I am very touched to have been included in this dedication," she wrote in an email. "Ten years of work ... it was worth it all."
At the Jan. 9 concert, Marr will be the guest conductor, with senior violinist Kali Snead the featured soloist. Following the performance, donations will be accepted to help defray the costs of sending the orchestra to the conference.
Along with the specially commissioned piece, the orchestra will perform music by Edvard Grieg, Brian Balmages, Duke Ellington, Gustav Holst, Max Bruch and Eric Whitacre at both of its concerts.
The panel of judges who selected performers for the Michigan Music Conference concert included representatives from the Michigan Band and Orchestra Association, Michigan Music Educators Association and the Michigan Chapter of the American String Teachers Association. The 40-minute performance is at 1:15 p.m. Jan. 18 in the DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids.

STOCKTON - The city unveiled a slate of ambitious plans Friday for turning around Stockton's violent culture along with a barrage of trends, facts and figures underpinning high crime that for years have tarnished the city's reputation and plagued residents.
STOCKTON - The city unveiled a slate of ambitious plans Friday for turning around Stockton's violent culture along with a barrage of trends, facts and figures underpinning high crime that for years have tarnished the city's reputation and plagued residents.
In addition to the proven gang diversion programs called Peacekeepers and Project Ceasefire, which is in its early stages of a comeback in Stockton, the city identified more ventures that have worked in troubled cities across the nation and could change lives here.
One called Becoming a Man targets boys with a D average in school and ripe for gang recruitment, pairing them with a mentor and sports programs, such as night basketball.
In the Hospital Response program, counselors intervene after a violent crime. The rationale is that friends and family members often plot their retaliation at the hospital bedside of their injured loved one.
This discussion came in a four-hour symposium, culminating eight months of work by the city's Marshall Plan on crime steering committee and consultants hired by Stockton.
The city invited about 200 community members to the Progressive Community Church to listen and give feedback. The event was designed to launch a dialogue with the community on what steps to take next.
City Manager Bob Deis, who has guided the effort, acknowledged that Stockton's bankruptcy is a complicating factor, but it is no excuse for failing to take action.
"It's not whether we're going to do this," Deis said. "It's when and how."
While Stockton does not control much of the criminal justice system outside its police department, it is taking the lead in solving the larger crime problems because Stockton experiences the most violence.
Public outcry for officials to act peaked last year - the most deadly in Stockton's history.
Criminal justice consultants David Bennett and Donna Lattin, hired to unearth the root of Stockton's crime, shared their findings. They have pored over crime data and toured the courts, jails, police department and streets.
They found known "hot spots" or historic crime areas. The good news is that there are known methods for changing that. They also identified what doesn't work, such as youth boot camps and scared straight classes, Lattin said.
"Getting tough on crime is just not good enough," Lattin said. "Getting soft on crime is just not good enough. We have to get savvy."
Stewart Wakeling, the consultant hired to launch Ceasefire, said much of Stockton's gun crime is perpetrated by its most active 18 gangs and their 700 members.
Armed with data, key players in the Stockton Police Department in April will begin "call in" sessions, bringing in a select few for group meetings to offer either a helping hand or show them the heavy hand of the law that awaits them.
With a focus on these known and chronic offenders - often young men - the city's overwhelming violence becomes manageable, Wakeling said.
"We don't want to just keep them alive," he said. "We want them to have better lives."
Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones explained how the city's finances have crippled his department. He named specific Stockton intersections where crime and violence too often erupt.
Kelley and Salters drives is one where residents distrust police, and an open drug market goes unchecked at the intersection of Sonora and Sutter streets, he said.
In 2011, Stockton had the second highest crime and violence rates in the state, and it ranked as the nation's 10th most violent city. In 2012, the city hit a record of 71 homicides, marking a 22 percent increase over the past year.
Budget cuts since 2009 robbed his department of 99 officers and many civilian employees. His department is worse staffed than any other city nationwide of its size and crime rate, Jones said.
Stockton has a budget to employ 344 officers, but a city of its size and complexity needs closer to 590. Stockton has no narcotics unit, and property crimes take a backseat to triage violence, he said.
Jones said his officers tell him they became cops to solve crimes, but they are running from one violent crime to another.
"They want to make their community better," he said. "They get weary responding to emergency to emergency to emergency."
A panel of former gang members took center stage in the symposium, bringing the harsh reality of street culture into the room - and hope that this is not a losing battle.
Stan Thomas, a former gang member and now outreach worker with Peacekeeper, told his story of coming from an abusive home, starting with drugs as a boy and having to learn to read as an adult.
He got out before it was too late and often asks hardened gang members why they're the only ones around who don't know they're going to die early.
"The last guy I told that," Thomas said. "I saw him walking down the street. He was killed a week later."
Samuel Diaz, 18, a client of the Peacekeepers described having a gun put in his lap at age 8 growing up in San Jose. He landed behind bars for "some really big stuff," facing a 40-year prison sentence. He asked for help.
Today, he's about to graduate from high school and in the painful process of getting his gang tattoos removed with Peacekeepers' help.
"Gangs lead you to two words - dead end," he said.
Community members were invited to speak.
Former City Council member Duane Isetti noted that Ceasefire once thrived in Stockton. And then it vanished. He doesn't want to be part of a discussion after 15 years having the same conversation about reviving it, Isetti said.

The Villa of Castello was one of the first villas outside Florence owned by the Medici, dating back to 1477.
It became one of the favourite residences of Cosimo I, who took special interest in the garden.
A year after the young Duke's rise to power, in 1538, the garden was planned according to a complex symbolical design in which the statues, fountains and grottoes celebrated Cosimo's new status.
The villa itself is not open to the public, but visitors may enjoy the splendid garden with its magnificent range of citrus and other rare plants, antique and Renaissance statues.
Particularly fascinating is the Grotto, with animals carved in different types of stone and marble, which one must imagine with its original fountains and water jets

My Signature Style is one I created for my own artwork. It was so popular at my walk-in gallery that I made it an option here.
The Old Faithful goes with almost any decor and is easy on the budget.
The red paper of Lucky Wedding is good for any festive occasion - with red being the good luck color of China.
Buddhist text is often written on orange paper, thus the Buddha's Delight combination.
Take a walk down the Silk Road to the wild west of China with Bizantine Dreams. It's blue/gold brocade changes color depending on how the light hits it.
The recommended calligrapher for this title is Master Cao Bin of Beijing, China.
If in doubt, choose a vertical wall scroll.
Horizontal wall scrolls take special care to hang properly. The nails or hooks must be perfectly spaced on your wall (too close and the scroll droops, too far apart and you can't hang it or you tear it).
Hand scrolls are also known as "Table Scrolls" and are very unusual. These cannot be hung on a wall. They are for display laying on a table or inside a glass case only.
Important Note: If you choose a portrait format, you will need to frame this artwork after it arrives at your home.
To avoid the cost of framing, I strongly suggest choosing a vertical wall scroll.
Measurements at wooden knobs shown above apply only to vertical wall scrolls.
Measurements are approximate, and be reduced by as much as 1.5cm (¾") when trimmed during the mounting process.
The size options above are based on width (not length). The length will follow a "natural flow" which is determined by the number of characters, number of columns, and in some cases the style of calligraphy.
The images above are not the characters of your title, but rather, real samples of your chosen calligrapher's styles so that you can imagine what your project might look like.
Because this is a custom hand-made item, expect the character on your artwork to vary somewhat from what you see above what is shown in the mockup at the left.
More about Japanese / Chinese calligraphy styles
You have selected the economy calligrapher, so the calligraphy styles tab does not apply. This calligrapher only writes in one style (Running Regular Script / Xing-Kaishu).
These xuan papers with golden flecks add a touch of class to calligraphy artwork.
These handmade xuan papers receive special treatments when they are laid and pressed.
Not available for large & jumbo sizes.
I buy 1000s of meters of these three, so I get a better price than other colors.
My favorite is the rich and deep golden-brown of the copper color. If you decide on a two-toned scheme, try ivory with copper.
Please note that all computer monitors display colors differently. In real life, the white is pure white, and the ivory has a warm yellow hue - some would call this "antique white". Please note that the medium green can vary widely in color!
The shade and pattern of these materials varies from time to time as we receive new batches from the loom/mill.
This is a nice way to spice up your wall scroll by making it a two-toned creation.
Just pick the color for the inner silk frame that matches your taste.
You probably want to pick a silk for the frame that contrasts nicely with your main silk color.
My favorite is ivory with a copper inner-frame.
Top Lines:
Bottom Lines:
This is just a little accent of keylines that can be added to the top and bottom silk panels.
The charge of $1 for each is mostly to cover the extra labor of this option.
This adds strips of fancy gold ribbon above and below the characters on the xuan paper.
Enter your inscription here:
Choose inscription option/location:
You can add an inscription such as your names (for couples or families) or a special salutation.
We'll transliterate your names or translate your phrase into Mandarin Chinese and have the calligrapher add it to your artwork.
Please try to make your inscription one clear and complete thought or sentence (with subject, verb, and object) or a couple of names arranged like: "Dick and Jane", or "Dick and Jane Forever", or "Dick and Jane, married Oct 1st, 2002".
Inscriptions longer than 1-2 sentences may require an extra charge.
Because you have chosen a Chinese calligrapher, your inscription must be written in Chinese with few exceptions.
Inscriptions cannot be written on artwork in English.
Keep in mind that you've selected a Japanese master calligrapher. This takes a little longer because in most cases, the raw calligraphy must be shipped from Japan to our workshop in Beijing, and then to you. This is how we save you about $100 compared to typical Japanese calligraphy, but it does take longer.
If Rush Service is late, get up to 3 times your rush fee back:
If I deliver late, just let me know and you'll get triple your rush fees back ($30) in a gift certificate (or double if you want a direct refund instead).
With full rush service: Your order goes to the front of the line at the workshop, and goes faster with more expensive postage. I do everything possible to get it to you fast.
Rush service is successful 90% of the time, but postal delays, customs delays & other issues do occur.
Enter your special notes or instructions here:
Use this if you have special size restrictions or notes for this calligraphy.
Common requests from customers:
1. Please match length with other wall scrolls on my order if possible.
2. This is a gift, please send information about this title for the recipient.
3. Adjust as needed to make wall scroll no longer than ____ feet.
I try to accommodate every special request whenever possible or practical.
I'll email you if there's a problem with your request.

HOT-shots Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede will fire Blackburn Rovers into the top six next season.
That is the verdict of former Rovers defender Mick Rathbone after he saw the strike duo lay waste to Championship defences at the back end of the campaign.
Top scorer Rhodes and the rapidly improving Gestede net 39 goals between them in 2013-14 with 17 of those strikes coming in Gary Bowyer's side's final unbeaten 12 games of the season.
That run of six wins and six draws was not enough for Rovers to gatecrash the play-offs.
But Rathbone, who watched a number of the games as part of his role as mentor to Manchester United's U21s stars, has no doubt they will improve on that position in 2014-15 thanks mainly to their prolific front pairing and the management of boss Bowyer.
"With Gestede and Rhodes Rovers have really got a cutting edge now," said Rathbone, a former physiotherapist at Preston North End and Everton.
"And I think the difference between the teams at the top of the Championship and the bottom of the Championship is the ability to put the ball into the back of the net.
"Rovers have that so I think they will do well next season.
"Gary Bowyer did a great job this season. He faced the firestorm and steadied the ship.
"It's nice to see someone with common sense and it seems things are sorting themselves off the pitch as well.
"I think Rovers will be one of the six best teams next season."
The reason for Rathbone's reappearance at Rovers' matches was Michael Keane.
Keane scored three goals in 13 appearances during a highly successful two-month loan spell at Ewood Park.
And it was Rathbone's job during that time to keep tabs on the England U21s international, who he hailed as a 'brilliant signing', as well as the other United starlets out on loan in clubs at home and abroad.
With Keane returning to Old Trafford it is unlikely Birmingham-born Rathbone will get to see as much as Rovers next season.
But they will never be far from his thoughts as he has made Blackburn his home after a well-loved eight year spell in the blue and white halved shirt from 1979 to 1987.
"I first came to Rovers on loan but once I signed permanently and started going out with a Blackburn girl, who was a Blackburn fan and whose dad played for Blackburn in the 60s, and once I got the DNA in me, that was it," said the former no-nonsense full back, who scored two goals in 306 appearances for Rovers.
"This is my town now – I sound like a mafia don! I am a Blackburner.
"My kids were born here, my son played for the Blackburn town team – this is us.
"I changed my passport recently and it said child of Birmingham but it really should have said Blackburn."
And Rathbone, who was the physio for the England U17s side which won the UEFA European U17s Championship in Malta last week, ensures there is a bit of East Lancashire on United's Carrington training pitches.
"One of the young lads at Manchester United, a very good young player called Liam Grimshaw, is a massive, massive Burnley fan.
"Sometimes I join in training and I'll say to Liam, 'this is it lad, Blackburn versus Burnley'.
"And he'll say 'come on' even though he's young enough to be my grandson!
"Every time we have banter when it's an East Lancs derby. He personifies everything about it – it's his life, it's his everything, as it is to us over here."

The board of directors of La Plata Electric Association approved a preliminary average rate increase of 11 percent Monday. It is scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1.
In a news release, LPEA said the average residential bill of $88.40 will increase approximately $11.20 a month.
LPEA attributed most of the increase to changes Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, its wholesale power supplier, made in its rate structure and its increased costs in the generation of electricity.
Our board approved a new budget, new rate structure and rate increase of 4.9 percent in September, Tri-State spokesman Jim Van Someren said. Its primarily due to an increase in costs, from fuel costs to transmission costs.
The rate structure changes are having as much of an impact as Tri-States rate increase on LPEA members.
Tri-States new rate structure has been in the works for almost two years, said Greg Munro, La Plata Electric CEO. The distribution cooperatives, including LPEA, have done our best to be involved to not only try to understand the new rate structure, but to also try to make it the right type of structure. It has been a long and challenging task.
Van Someren said a goal of Tri-States rate structure change is to be more fair to residential and small-business customers, ratepayers that have been carrying more of the cost than they should have because some large electricity users have been avoiding peak demand charges in many of the 44 co-ops it serves. But whats good for residential and small-business customers in those co-ops is penalizing those in Southwest Colorado who have actively managed the time and amount of their usage.
Weve been one of the leaders in getting our members to use energy during off-peak hours, and now all of our timely use programs that weve tried to teach people are kind of moot, Munro said. Because weve been so good at that, LPEA is one of about 10 co-ops served by Tri-State thats seeing greater increases than the 4.9 percent.
The rate increase is resulting in almost a flat energy rate, instead of lower rates for off-peak usage, he said.
This new rate structure is basically geared to sell electricity no matter what time you use it, Munro said. It seems like were going the opposite direction. We think we should be as efficient as we can, or pretty soon were going to have to build a new power plant, and we dont want to do that.
Munro said while there are still some minor off-peak usage incentives, adding insulation and buying more energy-efficient appliances are going to be the best ways to save money on electricity bills starting at the beginning of the year.
At LPEA, weve reduced costs with the use of new technologies, reduced programs, refinanced debt and are now about as lean as we can get without impacting quality, reliable service to our members, Munro said. He added that the co-op also paid for an independent cost-of-service study to determine what it actually costs to deliver electricity to its customers. Based on the cost-of-service study, and to maintain all of our financial requirements, we estimate we need an additional $10.3 million in 2013. We have forecasted as tight as we can and will still have to work hard in 2013 to find more savings.
The electricity co-op will hold three public meetings in December to explain the rate increase to members, before the board takes a final vote on the increase at its meeting Dec. 19.
The meetings are to tell our members why this has happened, Munro said. It can get very confusing.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Ryan Howard has indeed suffered a setback in his recovery from Achilles surgery and will be sidelined indefinitely following a procedure to clean an infection from his original wound.
Foot specialist Mark Myerson performed a "small procedure" Monday to remove the stitches from Howard's wound, Phillies head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan said. Howard is on antibiotics and should return to camp sometime Wednesday. Myerson is the surgeon who originally operated on Howard's ruptured left Achilles last October.
Sheridan is unaware of when Howard will return to his rehab program. When asked if the delay would be days or weeks, Sheridan said, "I truly don't know that answer."
While Myerson was forced to reopen Howard's wound, he did find the structure of the rebuilt Achilles tendon remained intact.
"That was our biggest concern going into this," Sheridan said. "That was one of the things during the procedure he confirmed; the Achilles tendon is intact and not compromised. That's great news."
But now, Howard must heal this new wound. Sheridan said the team will be cautious this time to avoid any further problems later.
And the area where the procedure was done is notoriously a difficult place for a wound to heal.
"It's common for the skin behind the Achilles to have trouble healing," Sheridan said. "I wouldn't say it's common for the infection to occur. I do know it's a tough area to heal. It doesn't have a very good blood supply."
Sheridan once again refuted the idea this was a setback to Howard's recovery, despite him being inactive since Saturday.
The Phillies had publicly target a return for their first baseman sometime in May. Sheridan said he never had a timetable.
"I don't prefer to use that word," Sheridan said. "I know that's the word everyone wants to use. We never established a particular timetable for him. Right now, it's one of those things that happens in the rehab process. We just have to move forward from it."

Diderot @ 300: An Exhibit on Making Knowledge in the 18th-century
Date: August 30, 2013 Location: Watzek Library Atrium
Watzek Library Atrium
With "Diderot @ 300" we celebrate Denis Diderot's imprint on the greatest interdisciplinary achievement in intellectual entrepreneurship of the Enlightenment: the Encyclopedie (1751-1772). An LC student/faculty collaboration, the exhibit will be on display August 28-December 20, 2013 in the Watzek Library Atrium.
Enlightenment homme de lettres extraordinaire, Diderot (1713-1784) was featured in the January 24, 2013 New York Times article, Diderot, An American Exemplar? Bien sûr, as an "American exemplar" reminding us that "thumbing one's nose at the establishment has been central to our own cultural and political traditions since, well, [his] time. After all, that's how we became Americans in the first place." At the center of the exhibit, the Encyclopédie's schematic tree of knowledge inspired by Bacon's own, displays the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of knowledge-making in the 18th-century. Branching out into the faculties of Memory, Reason, and Imagination, human understanding is featured as the subversive key to accessing, critiquing, and creating knowledge through the disciplines ramifying from these faculties – including philosophy, history, and literary and creative arts.
This collaborative project comes to life in the heart of Lewis & Clark's liberal arts environment at Watzek. Our work emanates from, and replicates, the idea at the core of our liberal arts institution: Knowledge-making is a collaborative undertaking that results from interdisciplinary endeavors and cross-referencing, and a creative process that bears on the sciences as well as on the humanities. Reflecting this idea, the team draws on the expertise of the Library's Special Collections, Associate Professor of French and Diderot scholar Isabelle C. DeMarte, as well as Schuyler Adkins ('14, French Studies / History), Sara Balsom ('14, French Studies / English), Hillary Kugler ('14, Foreign Languages French/Spanish), and Brandon Stilson ('14, Philosophy).

Guide for Buying High-Quality Furnitures
From buying at the right time to choosing colors, here's what you need to find furniture that lasts, and save time and cash while you're at it.
Furniture tips: wood
1. Know your wood types
Wood furniture falls into three categories: solid wood, veneers, and particle board or composite wood.
Solid wood furniture is typically more expensive than other types and looks great, but can be susceptible to scratches and water rings. Veneers have an inexpensive wood base covered by several thin layers of better-quality wood. Because of the cheaper core, veneers aren't as expensive as solid wood pieces. Particle board and composite wood pieces are made from a combination of wood pulp, plastics, and resin, basically the scraps of the furniture world. These are the cheapest type of wood furniture and can look decent, but won't hold up for decades.
2. Check drawers and cabinets
Open the drawers and cabinets. Make sure the drawer pulls all the way out, latches properly, and then shuts evenly. Make sure doors open, remain in an open position (instead of snapping closed while you're trying to get something out of the cabinet), and shut again. Check the handles and knobs. They should fit tightly and not jiggle or turn.
3. Avoid nails and glue
Look for wood joined at ends and corners, not glued or nailed in. Known in the manufacturing world as wood joinery, these pieces are studier and can take more weight. Check out Basic Woodworking Joints from Wood Magazine to see examples.
Furniture tips: fabric
4. Consider your lifestyle
Let your lifestyle determine what colors and fabrics you choose. For example, I have a large, hyper dog constantly climbing on the furniture. If I brought home a white suede couch, it would be torn apart and stained in minutes. If you have kids or pets, stick with dark colors and stain-resistant tough fabrics like linen or tweed.
5. Be realistic about colors
I once bought an orange corduroy armchair at a furniture outlet store. At the time, my house was decorated in orange, blue, and white, and I thought I'd love those colors forever. As it turned out, "forever" was about a year. I got so sick of the bright orange I sold the chair for a fraction of what I paid. Learn from my mistake: Stick to neutral colors for your bigger and more expensive pieces. Save bold colors for décor pieces.
6. Inspect the legs
The legs should be heavy, wood, and jointed to the frame of the sofa or chair, not nailed. Plastic, rubber, or metal legs don't look as nice, can tear up your floors, and won't hold up as well. Same goes for nailed-in wood legs. If you're spending more than $1,000 on a sofa, look for one with a fifth leg in the middle. They provide extra support – you won't find them on many cheaper sofas.
7. Check the springs
If you like firm sofas, look for one with traditional coiled springs. If you want a softer feel, go with zigzag coils. Before you buy, take off the cushions and press down on the base of the sofa. The coils should push down and spring back into place immediately.
8. Test the cushions
Look for firm cushions with a removable cover matching on both sides. Firm cushions hold up better over time. Fully covered cushions cost a bit more than ones with the pattern on one side and a plain white or tan backing, but they'll last longer and wear evenly if you can flip them over every few months. Find removable covers that are easily washable.

Delivery for this sectional took about 2 weeks, which was faster than most reviews. The 8.5' Side Wind Sirocco Square Cantilever Umbrella itself was extremely easy to put together... no tools required and took me 30 min to set up. All in all I think it was a good purchase.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis man has filed a lawsuit against three companies over their roles or alleged roles in secret, military-sponsored chemical testing that was conducted in mostly impoverished areas of the city during the 1950s and "60s.
Benjamin Phillips is currently the sole plaintiff in the lawsuit, which was filed in St. Louis Circuit Court. However, his attorney, Elkin Kistner, is seeking to turn it into a class action lawsuit, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/UW1xqN ).
Government contractors sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide from the backs of station wagons, from atop low-income housing projects and at other locations during those early Cold War years. The government conceded in 1994 that the spraying was part of a biological weapons program. St. Louis was picked because its topography was similar to some Russian cities the military thought it might have to attack.
The testing mixed the chemical with fluorescent particles to allow tracking of dispersal patterns. It received renewed interest earlier this fall after publicity about research by Lisa Martino-Taylor, a St. Louis professor, as part of her doctoral thesis.
Publicity about Martino-Taylor's testing triggered a memory for Phillips, Kistner said. Phillips was a child at the time and grew up in the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex. He recalled men in protective suits with machines spewing what seemed like a thick fog of bug spray.
Martino-Taylor's research highlighted studies showing chronic lung and respiratory problems borne from exposure to zinc cadmium sulfide, though the Army has said that no health consequences had been found in St. Louis.
The lawsuit names as defendants the Parsons Co., a government contractor known to have conducted the tests, and two others that Martino-Taylor named as potential participants based on government records: SRI International, which the suit said may have designed an air-sampling unit to be used in the aerosol studies; and Monsanto, which allegedly offered the government use of its St. Louis plant.
The lawsuit is seeking at least $50,000 in actual damages and an unspecified amount in punitive damages.
SRI International said it hasn't seen any evidence indicating it was involved in the testing, and that it will try to have the company removed from the lawsuit. Monsanto said the lawsuit "does not contain any facts about the alleged conspiracy occurring 50 years ago or more, or Monsanto's supposed involvement."
Parsons declined to comment.
Kistner said Phillips had an ear tumor but is unsure if it is linked to the exposure. He said other potential plaintiffs have reached out to him, including a woman whose family members have had cancer.
