The 11 retirees of Patterson's area schools include the following:
Cyndy Gomes
Cyndy Gomes, an administrative assistant at Sacred Heart School, has officially retired following the end of the 2014 school year.
Gomes began her educational pursuits in Arroyo Grande, Calif. before finally working for Sacred Heart in 1987. She worked for free for two years while the "school got on it's feet," before joining as a full-time staff member. Since her initial hiring in 1987, Gomes has been working at the school for 27 years. Her title had changed considerably throughout the process, and she enjoyed a variety of hats including working as a secretary, bookkeeper and nurse.
Many changes as to the school's function also took place during her time there. She remembered when the school only housed 24 students in Kindergarten through third-grade; now the school has now grown to encompass preschool to eighth-grade students, and hosts approximately 250 pupils.
"When we opened the school, we had three classrooms, a teeter totter, one slide and swing set with four swings and no grass," Gomes said.
The school now has a preschool building, library, computer lab, playground equipment, baseball fields and additional classrooms.
Gomes said there were many wonderful things about Sacred Heart, but the thing that struck her most were the relationships that she made with the students, parents and teachers over the years.
Although Gomes will remain involved with the school because her grandchildren attend, she said she will miss the everyday contact with the staff who were like family to her.
Now that she is retired, Gomes will continue to work as a realtor for Realty World Scheuber-Arendsee. She will also attend a Hawaiian vacation with her children and grandchildren this summer, and plans to travel with her husband Dan often. Gomes said she currently has a bucket list that she is working on, which includes spending more time with her children and four grandsons.
Christine "Christy" Halseth
Christine "Christy" Halseth, a first-grade teacher at Northmead Elementary School, first began her career after graduating from California State University, Fullerton in 1974 and obtaining her teaching credential in 1984.
She was hired in Patterson in 1986 as a fourth-grade teacher at Las Palmas Elementary, and consequently had the same room she occupied as a fifth-grade student. Halseth said nothing about the classroom had changed in the 25 intervening years, which made her feel right at home.
Later on in her career, she moved to Northmead where she began teaching second and first-grade students for 28 years. Throughout her time there, Halseth said there have been several changes made to the curriculum.
"It's always a challenge to change the way you teach but it also keeps it interesting," she said. "That is probably what I like most about teaching; it's never boring."
Halseth said being a teacher was entertaining. She often found amusement in each child's differing perspective, and found them all to be quite funny. Even though Halseth said she will enjoy her retirement, she will miss the children, as well as the administrators and her fellow colleagues.
"Whether things were going great, or not so great, being able to share the teaching experience with (the staff) has been absolutely vital," said Halseth. "I couldn't have done it without them."
Now that she is retired, Halseth plans to wake up to the sunrise instead of an alarm clock, relax with a cup of coffee, work in her yard, read a book, and enjoy other simple luxuries.
Annette Dedini
Former kindergarten teacher Annette Dedini of Northmead Elementary School finished her last year as an educator just mere weeks ago. Dedini, now retired, began her own elementary and high school career in Gustine before succeeding to Modesto Community College. She also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, before finally securing her teaching credential from UOP.
Dedini began working for Northmead Elementary School in 1990, and has spent the last 24 years helping Patterson students reach their potential. She has worked in a variety of teaching levels including kindergarten, first, second and third-grade.
Many changes occurred since her time at Northmead, said Dedini. The language arts program went from a whole language approach to a phonics based program. In kindergarten, the students also went from having half days to three-quarter days. The school also lost a few aides and teachers to assist in the classrooms during the half day program. The kindergartens now have the same program as what the first-graders had when Dedini first began her career at Northmead.
Dedini said she enjoyed being around her friends during the afternoon's proceedings and loved the camaraderie of the staff.
"The principals have always maintained a family atmosphere," she added.
Dedini also expressed love for the children of Patterson, claiming that she will miss them and her friends the most now that she is retired.
With her added free time, Dedini hopes to travel with her husband and spend more time with her grandchildren. She still remains thankful for the opportunity she had to teach many local students.
Diane Mendes
Diane Mendes celebrated her last day as a teacher's aide at Sacred Heart Catholic School in late May. Mendes began her own educational journey after graduating high school in the city of Canby, Minn. She eventually went on to pursue an education in secretarial schooling by attending the University of Minnesota and the Detroit Lakes' campus.
Mendes said she began working at Sacred Heart Catholic School as a volunteer from 1987 to 1991. Her duties included acting as the school's librarian, working lunch duty, and helping with daily classroom activities. She was hired in late 1991, and has been working for the school the last 23 years.
Mendes said there were a variety of changes that took place over the course of the years. This includes interacting with different staff members, teachers and integrating new technological advances such as smart boards into the classroom.
Mendes said what she liked most about working at Sacred Heart Catholic School was interacting with the children and getting to know the parents.
"I will miss the children most of all," she said. "They made me very happy each day."
Now that she is retired, Mendes plans to spend her time gardening, scrap booking, taking day trips, having lunch with friends and relaxing so that she may enjoy life.
Patricia "Diane" Peterson
Patricia "Diane" Peterson, a 12th-grade English teacher and Kids Helping Kids advisor for Patterson High School, has ended her 27 year career through the Patterson Joint Unified School District as of late May. The former teacher began her studies at Hilmar High School before journeying to California State University, Stanislaus.
In 1987, Peterson began working for the school, where she taught students in and out of the classroom. Peterson became both the varsity boys and girls golf coach, and has personally witnessed how large the school has grown over the years.
Peterson said when she first started working at Patterson High she taught the sophomore class and knew every student by name. She believes only 400 students occupied the campus at that time, and now says there are well over four times that amount.
"We also didn't have air conditioning, so there's some good that comes out of change," she added.
Although it may come as a surprise to many of her former students, said Peterson, she really loved working with the kids. She said she will miss them the most, and remains to be amazed by their resiliency and growth. She will also miss many of the people she's worked with and came to know over the years.
Peterson plans to spend her retirement with her four grandchildren, and is anticipating the birth of one more due in November. She is also excited about her daughter's upcoming wedding in February, and cannot wait to go to Tahoe during the midweek when it's not crowded.
"But Patterson beware," she added. "I will be around getting volunteers and donations for Kids Helping Kids which I plan to continue helping support and prosper."
Debra Reichmuth
Debra Reichmuth, the secretary to Assistant Principal of Discipline at Patterson High School, retired from her post in late May following nearly 25 years of service at Patterson High School.
Consequently, Reichmuth herself has been attending PHS since was a teenager and decided to join the staff when she applied for the school clerk's position in 1989.
Reichmuth notes that the biggest change to take place at PHS since her time there had to do with the rise in technology. She also credits that the size of the school has grown, as well as the amount of students.
Working with the kids and families was Reichmuth's favorite part of her duties at PHS, but what she will miss most will have to be the day to day activities, as well as her co-workers.
Now that she is retired, Reichmuth plans to spend much more quality time with her family.
Kathy Vetro-Martinez
Former guidance counselor Kathy Vetro-Martinez has retired from her position following 16 years of service at Patterson High School.
Vetro-Martinez began her academic success shortly after graduating from Patterson High. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology from CSU, Fresno and a Bachelor of Science degree from CSU, Stanislaus (plus a single subject credential to teach history) before attaining a Pupil Personnel credential and masters in Educational Counseling from the University of San Francisco.
She has been in education for a total of 32 years—16 of which were devoted to Gustine's area schools.
Vetro-Martinez started out as a seventh-grade teacher before moving to Pioneer High School, where she taught and coordinated the alternative education programs in Gustine. She spent her last three years in Gustine as a guidance counselor at Gustine High School before switching to Patterson High.
Vetro-Martinez also became Patterson's adult education counselor for the last 10 years of her career.
She said one of the biggest changes that took place over the course of her time at PHS had to be the influx of students. She admits that the school and town has experienced some growing pains, and notes that testing demands have increased as well.
In spite of these faults, Vetro-Martinez was still excited to join the Tigers' staff and states that helping the local youth has always been great fun.
"I will miss their energy and enthusiasm for life," she said about her duties. "I think it helps keep a person's mind young and refreshed."
Of course, she will also miss her friends and fellow staff members as well. She recalls her relationship with them as though they were extended family members.
Although Vetro-Martinez hasn't given much thought about what she'd like to do with her newfound time, she said she plans to take a few trips in the near future. Raymond Miller
Speech Pathologist Raymond Miller recently retired from the Patterson Joint Unified School District after spending 17 years on staff.
Miller began his secondary education at Modesto Junior College before switching over to CSU, Stanislaus in his youth. He began working for the District in 1997, and notes that many changes have taken place since his initial start.
Miller stated there has been a dramatic increase of paperwork over the last few years, as well as new computerized Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and curriculums. One of the major changes Miller has noticed has been a de-emphasis on phonics, although he does believe the new Common Core standards will benefit the school's current learning system.
One thing Miller said he will miss most about working within the PJUSD is working with the students, his fellow cohorts and professionals.
"I will miss all of them—even those who will not particularly miss me," Miller added.
He said he also appreciates the parents who understand the district's situation and are willing to lend a helping hand.
Miller's retirement will compose of writing essays, stories and novels, playing golf, taking trips, and resting.
Bette Rubin-Smith
Bette Rubin-Smith, secretary alternative program specialist, has also retired this year after dedicating 23 years and 10 months of service to the Patterson Joint Unified School District.
Rubin-Smith began her secondary education at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and Modesto Junior College shortly after attending North Platte High School in Nebr.
After obtaining her education, Rubin-Smith began working for the PJUSD in November of 1990. She held many titles throughout her time there, she said.
She ran the House Suspension room 122 for Patterson High and Patterson Junior High for seven years while simultaneously working as a secretary at Del Puerto High School.
She has worked with five different principals, four different superintendents and a variety of teachers and students. She has seen the Del Puerto campus gone from two classrooms to seven, and notes that students now receive breakfast and lunch instead of just a sandwich during their designated lunch hour.
"I have been here since (DP) has become a separate school (from Patterson High)," she said. "I've been a part of its growth and have seen lots and lots of students succeed. There are really too many things that I'll miss."
Rubin-Smith said she enjoyed working at Del Puerto High School because the school was small enough to know each student by name. She said the students were like family, and she thought of her coworkers as close friends.
But now that Rubin-Smith is retired, she knows she will enjoy herself immensely. The first thing she said she'd do is turn off her alarm and enjoy spending time with her husband Harold, who is also retiring. She also wants to become a bigger part of the community, and is planning to join the Patterson Rotary. A grandchild is also on the way, which Rubin-Smith is very excited for.
Margaret Pierce
Margaret Pierce, a former nurse for the Patterson Joint Unified School District, is happy to report that she is now retired after being a part of the district for 13 years.
Pierce has been associated with Patterson throughout her life, and went to many of the area schools that she served. After attending Modesto Junior College, Pierce worked for the Del Puerto Hospital until it closed, then redirected her services to Covenant Village. Pierce spent a lot of her time working with special education kids, performing treatments and procedures for their health.
After gaining this experience, Pierce was hired by the district in September of 2011. She began working with a multitude of students at different school sites, which she felt to be very rewarding. What she will miss most about her time at PJUSD is being with fellow staff members and the many students she's served.
Pierce doesn't plan on letting her talents go to waste. During her retirement, she plans to volunteer her time at hospitals to help those in need.
She said she will also have more time to figure out how her Kindle Fire works.
Sandra Ferrero-Gustafson
Former grade school teacher Sandra Ferrero-Gustafson of Northmead Elementary has recently retired after dedicating 27 years to the Patterson Joint Unified School District.
Ferrero-Gustafson, known as Mrs. G to her students, began her secondary education at CSU, San Jose and CSU, Fresno before coming to work at Patterson Unified in 1987.
Mrs. G started out as a sixth-grade teacher at Grayson Elementary before she began teaching combination classes at the small school. She taught fifth and sixth-grade student combinations as well as fourth and fifth-grade combinations during her time there. In 1995 she moved to Rising Sun and continued to teach combination classes comprised of third and fourth-graders as well as second and third-graders.
"It sounds hard, but I love teaching combination classes," she said.
When Ferrero-Gustafson first began working in the District, teachers only used old ditto masters to make copies and relied on nothing but black boards and chalk. She said even movies were shown on old reel-to-reel projections.
During her time at the school, she watched as the black boards transitioned to white boards and movie projectors to overhead projectors.
"That meant that I wasn't always covered with chalk dust; now my hands were always black from the overhead pens," she said.
Finally, she witnessed the transition to computers, which makes for a cleaner learning experience. She said she enjoyed backing up lessons with pictures, movies and articles from the web, although her favorite addition was definitely Pinterest and TeachersPayTeachers.
Mrs. G said she enjoyed Northmead immensely as well, and loved the staff parties and close relationships that were built between the teachers, their students and the parents.
"I will miss the students of course, but I think I will mostly miss the wonderful people I've been working with these past 27 years," she said.
Now that Mrs. G is retired, she plans to spoil her "grandbabies", read, travel and start and finish projects "in a timely manner."
"I don't plan on being bored until I'm at least 102," she said.

so all the rage and I mean that in all senses of the word is Nikon's newest PR blunder first seen over on their face Book page. and reads as follows
A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses, and a good lens is essential to taking good pictures! "
Personally I found this really insulting from Nikon, and if I had seent his before I brought Nikon, I would have brought another brand. So many photographers, are outraged. One look at Nikon Facebook stream and you can see the insult Nikon has caused photographers Nikon owners and non oweners alike
The real point of the Hum dingier PR blunder of an Ad was this ?
" Do any of our facebook fans use any of the NIKKOR lenses? Which is your favorite and what types of situations do you use it for? "
however the only talk of lens is people now apparently wanting to sell their Nikon gear lens and all. and Buy new from the other team
so what are your thoughts on this,and your thoughts on your lens
Link: https://www.facebook.com/nikon/posts/10150316773294620
I think its a lot of steam over nothing to be honest.
Everyone knows that camera manufacturers are always pushing the newest and latest lenses, bodies, accessories at us in the aim of "getting better" its nothing new. Heck is the same each time we get a new Photoshop release - more adverts showing how wonderful and streamlined and how it takes drab shots and turns them into amazing final works.
In the end I doubt anyone will sell their gear over this, its just mostly an excuse to rage against Nikon because they've not released a new DSLR as yet
Hi Overread and Stray Cat.
thanks both for your feed back.
Overread, by new DSLR do you mean any after the D5100 ? which is the one I brought and I love it. I will still continue to buy Nikon lens for my camera. as after all. its me (us photographers) that take the pictures, the camera is the tool by which they are recorded
Quote: think its a lot of steam over nothing to be honest.
Me too. i wonder how many off those togs saying "it's the tog not the gear" have the best kit they can afford
Quote: A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses, and a good lens is essential to taking good pictures
True enough. You can't do better than your equipment can. But how about a definition of good ?
Seems to me a well made pinhole is a good lens. And a nice sturdy cardboard box is a good camera.
I don't think Nikon make those ?
Interesting people are making a fuss about this, I'm sure I've seen ads before that said if you buy a particular camera, you will take better photos or be a better photographer, but I don't remember any complaints, and that really was misleading.
The only logical reason I use the equipment that I do is that it removes any excuse for a poor photograph along the lines of "If only I had a better camera/lens/whatever". I suppose that is the corollary of what Nikon posted on FB.
But, of course, the more obvious corollary is "Unless you have the best gear, you cannot take top quality photographs", which we all know is rubbish and, I guess, that is why folk are upset about the FB post.
Something my father always used to tell me: "A good workman never blames his tools."
Many decades ago I was doing a course in freelance photography and photojournalism.
I remember my tutor saying something like this. " You can have the best equipment that money can buy and still turn out mediocre average images. You can have middle of the range equipment and turn out outstanding work that will sell. If you stand an average image that was taken with the worlds most expensive equipment alongside a well composed image that has impact that was taken with cheaper equipment the latter will always get more attention. What you see and how you see it just before you press the shutter is the most important part of successful photography!"
How right he was as the only camera I could afford at the time was a Zenith EM. I managed to sell a lot of work taken with this camera.
Quote: "A good workman never blames his tools."
He will sometimes say the tools available are not good enough for the job in hand. Generally he will do a better job with poor tools than an average person would, but he will always try to have the right tool for the job, and usually will have good tools well looked after. Good doesn't always mean the latest and most sophisticated. It probably does mean well made, durable, well cared for, and not worn out. Probably not the cheapest. Sometimes though it might be something quite simple and everyday which is just right for the job.
Nikon have shot themselves in the foot with that. People like to pretend that cameras don't matter (then go and buy expensive cameras and lenses)
When people say things along the line of "it's not the camera that matters" it's usually well-meant and is intended to stop an inexperienced photographer from thinking he can become a great photographer just by buying certain gear. Nikon, unfortunately, look as if they are spouting the same thing and photographers feel insulted that their contribution to the picture-taking team of man-and-equipment has been diminished.
Storm in a teacup.
Probably a touch of translation/cultural differences in its interpretation.
As an aside I was on a training course last week in Germany. The company had some new brochures they were proud of (and rightly so) - until one of the delegates from South Korea mentioned he couldn't use them in Asia as the front contained a guy planting a flag. Apparently in Korea that is seen as an act of aggression.
Readers of this Forum know that if they're using equipment that isn't the latest model and real high-end, they need to upgrade and as soon as possible. Nikon is only saying something that we already know!
Upgrading discussion accounts for half of the threads on this Forum.
I am a Nikon user and have read the ad! and personally I think they have pulled a good stunt here by bringing attention to themselves good or bad? the ad has worked and that's what advertising is all about.

Boys lose two thrilling games at home
Published on Wed, Jan 23, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson

The Blaine-Meridian rivalry ensured a packed home gym Friday night as the Borderites took on the Trojans in a Northwest Conference (NWC) matchup. Parking was tight and the hometown crowd was raucous as the two boys basketball teams battled every inch of court space. In the end, Meridian's Garcia brothers – Edward and Alijah – proved too much for Blaine's defense, propelling Meridian to a 59-49 win.
"We gave them the lane and they made too many lay-ins and second-chance points," Blaine freshman Josiah Westbrook said after the game.
Westbrook worked hard all game to cause turnovers and drive to the basket, scoring 10 points for Blaine. "In the second half, we couldn't penetrate on offense, so we had to shoot a lot of threes," he added.
Senior Gabe Trump was up to the three-point challenge. In an inspired display of outside-shooting accuracy, Trump scored four three-pointers to finish with a game high 22 points.
Despite Trump's strong offensive performance, Blaine couldn't contain the Garcia brothers, who scored 27 points between
them for Meridian.
The Trojans built a 39-25 lead by the end of the third quarter. Led by Trump's outstanding shooting, Blaine battled hard in the fourth and cut Meridian's lead at one point to seven, but the Trojans held on to win 49-59.
While not the finish the fans wanted, they were treated to a exciting and hotly contested basketball game in a packed gymnasium.
"On a Friday night in a little town, that's what's supposed to happen," game announcer John Liebert said.
Four days later, on January 22 the boys played another thrilling home game against Mount Baker. Coming out strong, the Borderites managed to hold a 37-34 lead by the end of the third quarter. However, the Mountaineer's swarming defense forced critical turnovers and missed shots in the final quarter, and Mount Baker outscored Blaine 22-17. The final score was Mount Baker 56, Blaine 54.
Senior Zach Rector led Blaine's scoring with 12 points, with Trump and junior Isaiah Jackson scoring 11 points apiece. Jackson also had double-digit rebounds for Blaine.
Mount Baker was led in scoring by 6'4" junior Reuben Murashov, who scored a game high 19 points. The Mountaineers have five wins and 11 losses this season, with a NWC record of two wins, six losses.
The loss now brings Blaine's record to one win, eight losses in conference play. They are one up from the basement in 1A Northwest Conference standings, ahead of Nooksack Valley. But to followers of the team, scores and standings don't tell the whole story.
"From the start of the season, [Head Coach] Shaun [Pile] has done an outstanding job of changing the culture and changing the attitude," said Blaine vice principal and athletic director Wayne Vezzetti.
The boys basketball team has four more games in the regular season, with the next matchup at Lynden Friday, January 25.
Lynden is undefeated in conference play.

Reykjavík <<RAY kyuh VEEK >> is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It is a seaport on the southwest coast, at the head of a large bay. The city is Iceland's trading center and its center of government and education. It has many schools, a university, an observatory, a theater, a national museum, and a national library.
Water from nearby hot springs is used to heat buildings and homes in Reykjavík. The hot springs are also used to generate electricity for the area.
The Reykjavík area was first settled in A.D. 877. However, it remained thinly populated for hundreds of years. In the 1700's, Skúli Magnússon built several workshops in Reykjavík, and more people began to settle in the village. When Iceland gained independence in 1944, Reykjavík became the country's capital.

More Websites in April Thanks Mainly to Google and Nginx
Netcraft's webserver statistics for April show over 230 million websites for April, six million more than in March.
A major share of the increase in websites is attributed to Google and Nginx. Apache continues in the lead at 46 percent of the market share with 106 million websites, adding one and a half million more from March to April, while losing very little in market share. Microsoft IIS is still in second place at 67 million and stable at 29 percent, adding about a million more sites.
In third place is Qzone that is behind the QQ IM server distributed in Asia. QQ produced a spike upward in February when Netcraft recorded 20 million QQ blogs. The webserver has now experienced double-digit growth in the last two months, reaching a 12.5 percent share in April at 29 million pages, but with not much effect on market share. The Google and Nginx servers almost single-handedly did have an effect, however. Together they added about five million more sites, although they still sit in fourth and fifth places, Google in fourth with seven million sites (3.1 percent) and Nginx in fifth with six million (2.6 percent).
A few smaller servers freshened up the April statistics. Their numbers may be relatively small, but Netcraft, the British Internet service, found them worth mentioning from the diversity of their programming languages. The Python-based Zope application server had 46,000 sites, the Mongrel Ruby server had 41,000, and the Pike and C-based Caudium server for dynamic websites came in at 14,000. The Erlang and Haskell languages are also trying to keep in stride: Erlang-based Yet Another Web Server (Yaws) has 70 sites and the Haskell-based Salvia lightweight server came in as newcomer with one new site.

This decoy was what I expected. The only issue I have is that it has a very bad oder out of the box. It is a MUST that you air out this product before you put it out in the woods. I have not had the chance to use it yet but I think it will produce.
Buck is a little small and the picture is a touch blurry but they are inexpensive. We will see how they work this year. I have a doe and Buck now.
The wrong type was shipped but the guide gave me a coupon for my trouble...excellent customer service!
Working very good I like it.

The Senseless Killing of a Malamute, Mistaken by a Hunter for a Wolf
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

I was raised in Idaho, and although I wasn't a dog owner then, I remember always hearing the debate on wolves and hunting. So many ranchers have to deal with wolves to protect their cattle. Having 3-4 wolves howl not too far from your tent when you are camping can be a bit unnerving, although not means to kill the animal.
And then, as you said, so many others latch onto the wolf issue because, as you said, it can be like a religion.
I'm not advocating either side of the issue here, but I am saying that I would have been just as stressed as you were living in Idaho with your two girls at that time! I've got dogs that look more like deer, so we are always concerned when we are in the mountains in hunting season.

Obama stands firm on gun control despite long oddsBy NEDRA PICKLER
and JULIE PACE
The Associated Press | February 05,2013AP PHOTO
President Barack Obama is applauded prior to speaking about his gun violence proposals, at the Minneapolis Police Departments Special Operations Center in Minneapolis, where he outlined his plan before law enforcement personnel.MINNEAPOLIS President Barack Obama declared Monday on his first trip outside Washington to promote gun control that a consensus is emerging for universal background checks for purchasers, though he conceded a tough road lay ahead to pass an assault weapons ban over formidable opposition in Congress.
We should restore the ban on military-style assault weapons and a 10-round limit for magazines, Obama said in a brief speech, standing firm on his full package on gun-control measures despite long odds. Such a ban deserves a vote in Congress because weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools or threatening our law enforcement officers.
The president spoke from a special police operations center in a city once known to some as Murderapolis but where gun violence has dropped amid a push to address it from city leaders. Officers stood behind him, dressed in crisp uniforms of blue, white and brown.
The site conveyed Obamas message that a reduction in violence can be achieved nationally, even if Americans have sharp disagreements over gun control. That includes among members of his own party in Washington.
Suggesting he wont get all hes proposing, he said, We dont have to agree on everything to agree its time to do something.
The president unveiled his gun-control plans last month after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. But many of the proposals face tough opposition from some in Congress and from the National Rifle Association.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he wants to give the bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines a vote. But he will not say whether he will support either, and advocates and opponents alike predict they are unlikely to pass.
Putting the controversial measures up for a vote could put some Democratic senators in a tough spot. That includes some from conservative-leaning states who are up for re-election next year and face the prospect of voting against either fervent gun-rights supporters or Obama and gun-control supporters in the partys base.
Reid himself came in for criticism for declining to stand with the president by Minneapolis Democratic mayor, R.T. Rybak, who accompanied Obama while he was in town. Hes dancing around this issue and people are dying in this country, Rybak said of Reid on MSNBC.
Democratic lawmakers and aides, as well as lobbyists, say an assault weapons ban has the least chance of being approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee that is working up the legislation. They say a ban on high-capacity magazines is viewed as the next least likely proposal to survive, though some compromise version of it might, allowing more than the 10-round maximum that Obama favors.
Likeliest to be included are universal background checks and prohibitions against gun trafficking, they say. One lobbyist said other possible terms include steps to improve record keeping on resales of guns and perhaps provisions that would make it harder for mentally ill people from obtaining firearms.
Asked last week what was likely to be in his committees bill, committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he didnt yet know but I dont know how anybody can be opposed to universal background checks. He added, I think gun trafficking, youve got to be able to close that. I dont know how anybody, anybody can object to that.
Obama also was more upbeat on the prospects of universal background checks, including for purchases at gun shows.
The good news is that were starting to see a consensus emerge about the action Congress needs to take, he said. The vast majority of Americans, including a majority of gun owners, support requiring criminal background checks for anyone trying to buy a gun. Theres no reason why we cant get that done.
He urged Americans to call their members of Congress to push for his entire package of stronger gun controls. Tell them now is the time for action.
Changing the status quo is never easy, Obama said. This will be no exception. The only way we can reduce gun violence in this country is if the American people decide its important, if you decide its important, if parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, hunters and sportsmen, Americans of every background stand up and say, this time, its got to be different. Weve suffered too much pain to stand by and do nothing.
The White House says Obama is not writing off any part of his package despite the long odds for the assault weapons ban in particular before votes are scheduled or he takes his arguments on the road. Education Secretary Arnie Duncan, who has been helping push the gun control package, said he and Obama spoke on the matter Sunday and agreed that Washington in a vacuum is unlikely to move quickly.
If this is Washington trying to drive this by itself, it doesnt go very far, Duncan said at a meeting with college presidents who have signed on to help lobby Congress to take action to protect students.
The White House said Obama made his maiden trip on the gun control package to Minneapolis because the city has taken steps to tackle gun violence, including a push for stricter background checks. The city launched a program in 2008 aimed at providing more resources for at-risk youth and helping rehabilitate young people who have already committed crimes.
In January, Minneapolis also hosted a regional summit on gun violence for elected officials from around the Midwest. The countys sheriff, Richard Stanek, is a Republican who has been working with the White House to develop a palatable set of gun regulations, with a particular focus on strengthening background checks.
Ahead of Mondays trip, the White House released a photo of the president skeet shooting at Camp David, the presidential retreat, which prompted more question about the presidents experience with guns. White House press secretary Jay Carney said he was not aware of Obama personally owning any firearms. He said Obama has shot a gun elsewhere, although he didnt know when or if he had done so- before becoming president. He never intended to suggest he had grown up as a hunter, Carney said.
Asked whether the president shoots skeet or trap, Carney told reporters, Im not an expert, and I dont think he would claim to be either. But he said of the presidents shooting skill, I think he has gotten better.MORE IN Wire NewsA new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast...

Justin Timberlake has already announced that he's making his movie-producing debut with the film Spinning Gold, about the late legendary music executive Neil Bogart . Now comes word that he'll produce yet another music-centric project, this one a remake of a movie that came out in 1980.
TheWrap.com reports that JT's in talks to produce a reboot of The Idolmaker. Directed by Taylor Hackford , the movie was based on the life of rock concert promoter and producer Bob Marucci , who discovered early teen idols like Frankie Avalon and Fabian .
According to the website, Justin doesn't plan to star in the movie, but that could change, depending on the script and who directs it. He is, however, going to star in Spinning Gold , which starts production next year.
We'll next see Justin on the big screen opposite Ben Affleck in Runner Runner , which opens October 4. In December, he'll appear in Inside Llewyn Davis , the Coen Brothers' film about the folk-music scene in New York City in the sixties.

New caboose business features simple Italian fare
By Tara Nelson
Blaine's historic red caboose is back in business with new owners and a new menu.
Angelica Purvis, of Blaine, opened Portofino restaurant last month, moving from one food lover's venture to another.
Her mother, Joyce Guimond, of Blaine, was the former co-owner of the Great Northern Cafe, which sold espresso, light snacks and gourmet Mexican popsicles.
Purvis said she wanted to take on where her mother's business left off, but focusing more on Italian sandwiches and hand-crafted gelato from Mario's Gelati in Vancouver, B.C.
The energetic young entrepreneur said she stumbled across Mario's drive-through gelato business while visiting Vancouver with her mother last year and she "fell in love with it." Now she drives to Canada every other week to fill her car with 32 five-liter steel tubs in flavors ranging from hazelnut-dark chocolate and spumoni to white chocolate-raspberry and lemon.
"I actually opened the place based on my love of gelato," she said. "I told my husband we have to at least try and it will either bomb or people will love it."
Purvis is a native of Portsmouth, N.H. where she owned a salon and spa for several years.
She moved to Blaine six months ago with her husband, after five years as a traveling manager with Trader Joe's specialty grocery stores.
"That's where I got my love of good food," she said. "That and my Italian heritage."
Portofino's menu is simple and focuses on quality ingredients rather than an expansive list of items.
Panini sandwiches, for example, are available in only four varieties including the Capri (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar) and the Venetian (goat cheese or provolone, red onion, arugala, and roasted red peppers) and are served on Ciabatta bread from Avenue Bread Bakery in Bellingham ($6.25).
And Purvis' pesto potato salad is made on-site with basil grown on the back porch.
"I've always thought it's best to do a few things very well and realize you can't please everyone," she said. "If people are craving a good panini or gelato, they'll know where to go."
Portofino is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is located at 795 Peace Portal Way and can be reached by calling 332-1900.

A 20-year-old Cape Girardeau man was taken to the hospital after he slammed his car into a Cape home.
The Cape Girardeau Police Department says the man hit a house on the corner of Good Hope and Henderson around 10 p.m. on Sunday.
He was treated for minor injuries, then arrested for suspicion of DWI, although police say alcohol wasn't involved in the impairment.
The driver's name is not being released.
No one inside the home was hurt in the crash.

Traditional Prints in Modern Rooms
With family roots in New Mexico, it is no wonder why I love Native American and Southwestern prints so much. Today's trends take traditional patterns to the next level contrasting them with modern, bright, and sometimes surprising style.
My love of Native American patterns came to me from my grandmother. Her obsession with Navajo rugs is natural; she was raised in a tiny adobe home in New Mexico where real Navajo rugs were the only carpets they knew. After World War II she moved to the Northwest, and picked up a passion for Pendleton. I must say I have more than a fair share of Pendleton blankets and I always love to incorporate them into my home.
A fresh take on traditional Native graphics is gaining momentum in the design world. This is not the kitschy southwestern look of the past but rather it's fashion forward sister. Many designers in this day and age mix Navajo, Pendleton and various other Native prints from around the world in unique ways. I pulled together some of my favorite inspiration images which showcase this idea. When paired in the right way and simplified to the perfect point, Traditional prints will add character and a timeless quality to any room. Enjoy!
• This bedroom image from Full House showcases a Pendleton blanket in a simplistic setting.
• Amazing Navajo inspired print pillows from Candystore Collective are made from eco-friendly ink.
• Amber Interiors added a tribal inspired rug to juxtapose the modern furniture in the space.
• Anthropologie's Berr armchairs are not Native American but share a similar feel. They are actually upholstered in kilim fabric from Turkey and no two are alike.
• This modern yet rustic entryway (via Design Sponge) adds just the right touch of color with the native rug choice.
• Design Sponge delivers a wonderful image of Navajo blankets atop a modern chair.

I love everything but the beast.
I have that exact Pendleton blanket on our bed. With bone-colored walls and curtains, linens, and nightstands in various shades of white, it looks really amazing. I even have a deer head, except mine is ceramic because an actual animal head would give me a nightmares. However, if I could have that headboard, I would be very happy.
The first picture looks like a Hudson's Bay Company point blanket.
Pic #1 isn't a Pendleton Blanket - It's a Hudson's Bay Blanket...
...which is hardly a "tribal" print.
tribal if your a Canuck like me :D
bepsf - it actually does look pretty close to a Pendleton Blanket.....and I think that the writer chose the pic because of the colors, not because it is or isn't "tribal". What's with the negativity on AT these days?
Other than that, I LOVE this post! This is what my whole apartment looks like!
I want that Tackle Block chandelier!!!
Hudson's Bay FTW. It dates from the mid-1700's. Pendleton seems to have stolen (sorry) the design and claimed it as a reference to Glacier National Park (Montana), which, interestingly, would have been close to HB's fur trading posts in Western Canada. http://www2.hbc.com/en/index.shtml
In any case, it's far from native or tribal. Definitely historical though.
The one in the photo is a Pendleton, and it is based on Hudson Bay's point blanket, which has small black markings (or points) that historically denoted the trade item's size and value.
i was just about to post exactly what bepsf did. that's a Bay blanket. i'm canadian, i should know.
Pendleton makes a national park series, and their Glacier Park version copies the Hudson Bay blanket. In Glacier Park they used to have Hudson Bay blankets on the beds in the lodges. I don't think it has the black "points" that the Hudson Bay blanket has. I know Hudson Bay and Pendleton, and they're both top quality, but the Pendleton costs less because it's made in the US instead of UK. The Pendleton blanket costs about 40% less and is wonderful quality wool.
The first blanket is also called a 'beaver blanket" becuse the points...black lines along the side...tell the weight of the blanket and therefore the number of beaver skins that were traded for that particular blanket. I bought an old one in an antique shop for $50...great price. My son always slept under it, and took it with him when he went in the army. Pendelton has always credited the original Hudson Bay Company for this design. Great story.
that is great full design. i like this type of design.
Can anyone point me in the direction of finding a rug similar to the one in the third picture. It looks eerily like my kitchen and now I NEED that rug! Please help!
Love these! Even the beast.
My first thought was "Oh, that's a Hudson Bay Blanket" too! I certainly wouldn't consider it "southwestern" - quite the opposite pole. I'm not sure how I feel about the use of "tribal" to apply to Native American/British/Turkish/Indian, slash, everything handmade or patterned? Actually, I do. I don't like it.
i got a similar blanket at marshall's. it was probably $12
i'm surprised that i like the chair.
You are all very right. THE FIRST IMAGE IS NOT SOUTHWESTERN AT ALL. Through the magic of editing the word "Southwestern" was added to my article and I did not intend for it to be there. Thanks for catching it and I am glad so many people share my passion for Pendleton. ☺ Katy Nida
wow these designs are really very nice and the look is really fantastic.
Nobody likes the bed frame?

TORONTO - It was a night he won't soon forget, whether he's willing to admit it or not.
"(The) most important (thing) is the victory," Jonas Valanciunas humbly stated after scoring a career-high 24 points to go along with 10 rebounds, helping his team rally back from a 15-point deficit to top the Washington Wizards (28-47) 88-78 at the Air Canada Centre Wednesday evening.
The Raptors (28-47) trailed by 11 at the half following an abysmal second quarter in which they shot 28 per cent. However, they responded coming out of the locker room, outscoring the visiting Wizards 29-12 in the third frame thanks in large part to the contributions of DeMar DeRozan -- who had a team-high 25 points in the game -- as well as their rookie centre.
"That's just him playing hard and being aggressive," DeRozan said of Valanciunas, who shot an impressive 16-for-18 from the free-throw line during his career outing. "As a rookie when you get 20 points that's definitely big, especially when it's a double-double as well so that's going to go a long way."
The 20-year-old from Lithuania has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, scoring in double figures in 13 of 14.
"The physicality of the game doesn't bother him anymore," coach Dwane Casey said of his rookie centre. "Where before he would kind of disappear a little bit, now JV is huge at the end of games. You (can) go to him, he can make free throws, he can pass the basketball (but) most of all he can defend without fouling."
Toronto snapped a two-game losing streak, splitting the season series with the Wizards for the third consecutive year while eliminating them from playoff contention.
Fast Breaking Points
- Youth is Served, Consume at Your Own Discretion
As the schedule turns to April, with the Raptors officially eliminated from postseason contention following Monday's loss to Detroit, Casey has gone all in on the youth movement (almost). On Wednesday we got a glimpse of the full rookie spectrum; the good (Valanciunas), the bad (Terrence Ross) and the in between (Quincy Acy).
Valanciunas' career night can hardly be considered a surprise, as he continues to impress with the increased playing time he's been given (or as Casey would say, he's earned).
"He's getting the respect of the league (and) the respect of the officials," Casey pointed out after the game. "He's just not a big blob out there that is taking up space, this kid can play, so he's getting the respect of the officials. They kind of know his game now, they're getting to know him as a player, know what he can do and he's just not out there hacking. He knows how to play, he's got good hands and he's a talented young man."
Prior to Wednesday's contest Valanciunas had never attempted more than 10 free throws in a game. The rookie, like the rest of the team, has had his ups and downs with the league's officials throughout the season but has always kept his composure. Reputations are easily tarnished in this league but they're not as easily built. Valanciunas is well on his way to establishing himself as the type of work-horse player that will play through a bad or missed call and continue to invite contact in the paint. This could go a long way for a team that has struggled to get to the line with consistency, attempting 10 total free throws in Monday's loss (they were 27-36 as a team on Wednesday).
"It's tough period, for all of us in here," said DeRozan, asked about earning respect from the officials. "When the refs see you out there playing hard every time down, not giving up down there with the bigs, it becomes obvious and I think the refs start to see that."
As Casey has pointed out continuously, the youth movement does have its obvious drawbacks, which became apparent during a second-quarter drought with all three rookies on the floor at the same time. The Raptors went scoreless for over five minutes (without a field goal for nearly six) before the half-time bell rang as Valanciunas, Ross and Acy were deployed with Rudy Gay and Kyle Lowry. The three first-year players had nowhere to hide as their miscues were magnified and execution stalled on both ends. "We're rookies," Acy said, "and it kind of shows sometimes so I think the main thing for us is to just help each other out."
In a career-high 20 minutes, Acy brought his usual energy and toughness to the table and even knocked down a couple 20-foot jumpers. Defensively, he was occasionally caught out of position and his five fouls (plus one technical) are certainly not ideal but overall it was a promising outing for the recently recalled forward.
Ross got off to a nice start with a strong drive to the basket on his first possession, his first and only field goal in the last three outings. However, he quickly reverted back to the timid, often invisible player that was held scoreless in his previous two games. "I want him to get out and get going and give him minutes," Casey said of Ross, who played just eight minutes Wednesday. "But I'm not going to give it away, I want him to earn it."
Casey has held firm in his stance that playing time, even at this juncture of the season, must be earned with hard and smart play.
"Whoever goes in the game, no matter who it is, is going to still have to earn it," he continued. "There's not going to be time given [away]. I'm going with the guys who are going to give us energy [and] hard play. That's what we're going to be about. It's simple. Make your minutes count, don't count your minutes."
- DeRozan's Night
After a series of subpar performances to conclude the month of March, DeRozan bounced back in a big way on a night when the team needed his offensive production. With Gay limited by a sore ankle he turned in the game (six points on 2-of-8 shooting in 26 minutes), DeRozan stepped up and sparked the Raptors during their third-quarter run.
"It's embarrassing when a team gets up on you or starts hitting shots on you on your home floor," DeRozan said of the team's first-half struggles. "You just have to step it up and play upset."
He did just that, shooting 11-of-21 on the night, 7-of-12 in the second half.
The Stat: It was just the third game in which DeRozan has exceeded 20 points since Mar. 1 after scoring 20 or more in seven contests during the month of February.
- Lowry the Facilitator
Although Lowry continues to struggle with his shot (5-for-22 from long range over the last six games), he's been making up for it by embracing and excelling in the role of facilitator with this group. With a season-high 13 assists in Wednesday's contest, the point guard has registered 10 or more dimes in four of the last seven games. During that stretch he's accumulated 62 assists to only 19 turnovers.
"This was one of his better floor games," Casey said of Lowry, who has been a big part of the team's improved ball movement over the last five games. "He did a good job of guarding [John] Wall, keeping him out of the paint."
Although Wall, who has been playing the best basketball of his career, shot a perfect 10-for-10 from the stripe he was held to 20 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Credit Lowry and the rest of Toronto's defence, specifically in the second half, for forcing Wall out of his comfort zone.
Lowry is at his best when he's playing aggressively and still needs to find a balance between making plays for himself and for his teammates.
The Stat: Lowry has recorded seven or more assists in each of the last five games, matching a career high he set last season.
Notables and Quotables
Landry Fields returned and played 17 minutes off the bench after missing Monday's game, undergoing follow-up testing on his surgically repaired right elbow. The results of those tests revealed that his elbow is healing at an expected rate. He scored three points and grabbed three rebounds. ... The Raptors tied a season-low with one three-pointer on a season-low attempts from beyond the arch. ... Washington was without rookie guard Bradley Beal, who the team announced will miss the remainder of the season with a stress injury in his right fibula.
"From the start I was this new guy in the NBA. I didn't know a lot about it and that's the big learning process in every game. I was not talking to [the officials], like not complaining about calls, maybe that's helping."-- Valanciunas
"He works so hard and it's good that it's paying off for him. He's going to have a long career."-- Acy on Valanciunas
"There's always a lot to play for anytime I step on the court. I love this game so I'm going to play hard no matter what the situation is."-- Acy
"It's just frustrating when we let teams jump out on us like that and we've got to fight our way back. We know we can play like we did in the second half for a full 48 minutes. We've just got it to do it, it's just mental."-- DeRozan on falling behind in the first half
Up Next
The Raptors will face their final Western Conference opponent on Friday when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (28-46) before traveling to Milwaukee for the second game of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Bucks (36-38).
