City's pleas to keep airport fall on deaf ears
SALISBURY — Legislation has been filed to de-annex the Rowan County Airport, and Salisbury's plea to state lawmakers Friday to keep the airport in the city limits didn't appear to change any minds.
After the meeting, which lasted more than two hours, N.C. Rep. Carl Ford said he will continue to pursue airport de-annexation at the request of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners.
Ford, a former chairman of the county commissioners, filed legislation March 7, a week before the meeting with City Council, to remove the airport from the city limits.
Two other legislators who attended Friday's meeting have already signed onto the bill. N.C. Rep. Harry Warren is a co-sponsor in the house, and N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock introduced the legislation Tuesday in the senate.
However, lawmakers agreed Friday that if the county and city come to some kind of agreement regarding the airport, they could reverse course.
That did not appear likely during the tense meeting.
Although City Council called the meeting, two county commissioners dominated the discussion, insisting that Salisbury has not contributed to the airport's development other than water-sewer extensions. They asked the state to take the property away from the city, which forcibly annexed it in 2004.
Salisbury is pledging to lower the tax rate at the airport to attract more business and give 100 percent of the city's airport property tax revenue to the county for airport development for the next 10 to 15 years.
"I am not satisfied that our partners have honest intentions. They haven't in the past," commissioners Chairman Jim Sides said to state legislators. "It's time to sever that relationship."
Sides and commissioners Vice Chairman Craig Pierce, former chairman of the airport advisory board, came out swinging, accusing the city of siphoning off revenues from the airport for years while not putting "a dime" into its development.
Sides and Pierce said the county has plans to extend and improve the runway and wants to run the airport without interference, or revenue sharing with the city.
"We don't want a partnership," Sides said. "We want control of the airport."
The city legally annexed some parcels of the airport but not the entire property, which Pierce called cherry-picking. He said the city has siphoned off $1.1 million in property tax revenue from the airport while the county continues to fund operations and improvements.
"The taxpayers are funding that airport while you take the revenue," Pierce said. "... How much money have you spent on that airport since annexation? Nothing."
Mayor Paul Woodson repeatedly objected to the idea that Salisbury hasn't contributed to the airport, saying the city pays county taxes. The city repeatedly extended water and sewer lines to property in and around the airport and donated land to the airport.
Pierce and Sides dismissed the city's presentation on the history of the airport dating back to 1928, which highlighted several city-county collaborations along the way.
"I don't see lot of cooperation here, I see a lot of posturing," said Pierce, "I see a lot of information dating back to before I was born."
Ford said the city and county may have agreed on airport development in the past, but the forced annexation was not an agreement. He said that's the only reason he supports de-annexing the property now.
Ford went on to point out several instances where he said the city acted behind the county's back while he was commissioners chairman, including securing local legislation to establish a hotel occupancy tax within the city, as well as seats for Salisbury and Kannapolis on the ABC Board.
"That all happened without the county on board," Ford said.
Despite Ford's list of examples, Sides maintained that taking back the airport is not related to any other beefs the county has with the city.
"This has nothing to do with retribution and payback," Sides said. "This is right thing to do and the right time to do it."
Sides said the city decides to invest in the airport only when the county talks about de-annexing it, as in 2009 when City Council designated the airport as an urban progress zone after Sides told city officials he would pursue de-annexation but then lost an election.
Commissioners said the city's offer to give 100 percent of tax revenues to airport development comes too late.
"You don't go back 10 years later and try to fix it," Sides said.
City Councilman Brian Miller said the airport "pie" will be bigger if the city and county work together.
The county argues the city hasn't invested in the airport, Miller said.
"We are offering to change that and fit with your expectation of what we should have done from the start," Miller said.
The city can't change the past, he said.
"But going forward from today, we can work together and dedicate 100 percent — 100 percent — of the revenue we get from those parcels to make the improvements that we all want to happen," Miller said.
Councilman Pete Kennedy asked state legislators to force the city and county to collaborate on the airport.
"We are giving you what you want," Kennedy said to commissioners. "Why can't we work together?"
Commissioner Jon Barber disagreed with Pierce and Sides.
"I would like for us to repeat history ... to build something together," Barber said to City Council. "I don't want to kick a partner out."
The pleas fell on deaf ears. After the city proposed a new airport task force to rewrite the city-county agreement and obtain federal funding for runway expansion, Pierce told the city to "get out of the way."
The airport went from $33 million in value to $21 million in value since annexation, Sides said. Pilots have left because the tax rate is too high, he said.
The current tax rate, 80 cents per $100 valuation, is one of the lowest around.
County Manager Gary Page said it's not clear if the tax value at the airport fell because the tax rate went up after annexation or due to the recession.
The city said it surveyed three NASCAR race teams who do not use the Rowan County Airport, and none said it was because of the tax rate. But Pierce said the county wants to recruit corporate jets, not race teams.
"All we need for you all to do is step out of the way and let us get to work," Pierce said.
Councilwoman Karen Alexander said she was surprised by the negativity at the meeting and said the county hasn't given the city credit for water-sewer extensions.
Pierce said the county used the extensions because they were convenient but didn't need them. If the city hadn't extended the lines, the county would have drilled a well, he said.
The city and county now each levy a 40-cent tax rate at the airport. With the city out of the picture, the county could lower the tax rate to 62 cents and gain 22 cents in revenue.
Woodson said the city is willing to take a lower tax rate than the county to avoid de-annexation, but commissioners were not interested.
Ford said after the meeting that two pilots have told him they will return to the Rowan County Airport with multiple planes at a 62-cent tax rate.
Commissioners have decided to take back the airport because conflict with Salisbury plays well with voters in the county, and they now have a friend — Ford — in the state legislature, Miller said.
De-annexing the airport "makes perfect sense, if the only group you are advocating for live outside the city limits," Miller said.
Two legislators urged the city and county to get along and stop turning to Raleigh to settle their differences.
"This county and city are consistently holding each other back," Warren said.
N.C. Sen. Gene McLaurin, the only member of the local delegation who is not sponsoring a de-annexation bill, said as a former mayor of Rockingham, he is familiar with conflict between city and county governments.
"What happened today was very productive, very positive," he said. "You may not realize that right now."
He urged City Council and commissioners to continue talking, trying to hash things out at a local level and celebrating any success they have together.
"Problems, opportunities and issues are best solved here, not in Raleigh," McLaurin said.

Amazing night shots. Love the Marty close up. Keep them coming.
Very nice photos to wrap up your week!!! I agree with Kathy, the night shots are beautiful. And the close up of Marty - precious!
I never want to see a day
That's over forty degrees

As you are probably aware, yesterday was National Pie Day. Not Pi, Pie! So, what to do after the rain and fog overtook the summit? Have a pie bake-off!
After a supper that consisted of entries of Beef Taco Pie and Chicken Taco Pie created by my partner and I, we got down to business.
Sarah Long, weatherperson of Channel 23 in Portland was last year's champ. This year she had a great shot at keeping her title with her Banana Whoopie pie entry!
Observer Brian Clark had a superb entry with his Boston Cream Pie.
Operation Assistant Rebecca Scholand also had a strong chance at toppling the champ with her entry, a Lime Meringue Pie.
For some impartial judges we looked next door to the State Park folks who were up for their shift. Bill and Jim came over and sampled each. Bill was blindfolded to focus his taste senses, (and add to the overall comedy!)
With comments like: "The banana flavor assaults the senses!" and, " Floating on a cloud of creamy goodness!" the contest was an uproarious success!
In the end Rebecca's Lime Meringue Pie was the winner! Great food and great fun!

Kevin, I really enjoyed reading your OBS Comments..
Ummm, yes. Not sure who labeled the picture, but it is NOT a sunset. It is a night shot of the faint aurora and glow of distant cities...

Some of the Characters
From the Observer Comments Section of the Mount Washington Observatory Website:
I look forward to these weeks on the summit with the same anticipation I looked forward to each Christmas as a child. As I drive north to meet the crew at the base of the Auto Road my heart quickens and I feel the same excitement a trip to see Santa would bring. As we meet and begin to load the tractor for the ride to the top I am filled with the same wonderment I felt nearly half a century ago as I rushed down the stairs on Christmas morning. I have lost track in my mind how many times I have actually done this now, but my heart remembers each trip, and reminds me that every time it is a unique and wonderful experience. This trip has been no different.
Our Ride is Here
Cool Ride
We came up the long, winding road on a crystal clear day. There were new people to meet, and old friends and acquaintances to greet. Since arriving I have been witness to sunsets beautiful beyond words, a stunning under-cast sunrise, a myriad of brilliant stars in an ink-black sky, a faint aurora above the glow of distant cities, and with all of this the near constant roar of the wind and vast array of water properties it can bring to the summit. This past Sunday brought a Bluebird Day to the summit along with a number of hiking friends I was lucky enough to get outside to see. Scenes like this make the hard work of feeding and cleaning up after groups as large as Saturday night's seventeen for supper and Sunday morning's breakfast for the same group seem a trifle compared to the beauty that envelopes me while I stand gazing out into the first light of an approaching dawn or the deep magenta clouds in the dwindling twilight.
At the Start of Our Descent
Mounts Adams and Madison in the Clouds
A Glance Back
Through it all I have had a near constant companion in my partner Paul Goundrey, without whom I would be somewhat overwhelmed. While I have gone about planning most of the main courses, he has complemented them with excellent side dishes and delicious desserts. Before last Thursday we had never met, but we now have a bond that will continue long past this week. If nothing else, these trips make you feel a kinship to the people and place that make up the Mount Washington Observatory, and indeed, the mountain itself. I will cherish these trips as long as I live just as I cherish those Christmas mornings so long ago. Thank you Mount Washington for making me a welcome guest!

Though we're booksellers first, last, and always, we do like to draw attention on occasion to the great music that we also offer in the store. Especially when that music relates in some way to literature, and even more so when it's written and performed by a local artist. Tom Baker (not to be confused with the actor who played the fourth Doctor Who) is a composer and performer who's worn many hats as an integral part of Seattle's new music scene since the mid-90s, co-founding Seattle EXperimental Opera (SEXO) and acting as the artistic director for the Seattle Composers' Salon. He also taught composition for over a decade at the University of Washington before moving to Cornish College of the Arts, where he has just won the Teaching Excellence Award in their music department.
Baker has recorded many CDs as a solo artist and with various bands, but his latest operatic release, which you can find at our front counter, is Hunger, an "operatorio" that tells the tragic tale of the Donner Party through the eyes of Tamsen Donner, the matriarch of that ill-fated group of pioneers. It's a moving combination of music and poetry that re-imagines an almost unbelievable story of struggle and survival.
Island Books: Tell us about your musical background. At what point did you expand from performing into composing? Or were you creating your own music from the very beginning? Are there epic jazz odysseys or embarrassingly romantic pop songs that date from your high school years?
Tom Baker: I started playing the guitar at age five, after a mostly unsuccessful year on the accordion. Growing up in the southern deserts of Idaho, I played mostly bluegrass and country music until I was 12 or so, then I got an electric guitar (a red Univox hollow body guitar) and started a rock band. I learned to read music very early, and started writing songs at seven or eight. Our band was mostly interested in other groups' music, but we did do a couple of my songs as well. As for embarrassing musical tastes, there are some photos of bands I was in, both high school and college, that will never see the light of day, but I can tell you that I had a serious case of Robert Plant hair. I think when they bring me an iPod in the retirement village and play the music of my synapse-building years, it will be a heavy dose of Journey, Van Halen and Kiss.
I moved away (but not too far) for college, and began a very unsuccessful academic career as a business major. I was still playing in bands, and happened to meet the guitar instructor at the college. We hit it off, and I became a classical guitar performance major. This required about a year of serious practice and long, long nights. But once I realized that one could actually make a life out of making music, I was all in. It was here that I started to listen to music more carefully and more closely, and began to understand the complexities of classical music and jazz, and what a limited palette I had worked with so far. I moved on to a Master's degree in performance, and I thought that a classical guitar concert career was my future, but I began to work with a Cambodian/American composer named Chinary Ung, who changed my life and trajectory. I started to understand that a life as a performer, though possible, was not the most profound experience I could have musically. It was composing music, creating things where there was nothing before, that became my clear pathway to a musical life. I finished my performance degree, but it was composing that then took hold of my attention full-time. I still perform in various groups, but they are mostly vehicles for writing and exploring compositional ideas, even the more freely improvised groups.
IB: What do you call the kind of music you're writing and playing as a solo artist and in your various bands? Different categories for each outlet? Are the labels, whatever they are, useful at all?
TB: If you were going to buy a Tom Baker Quartet CD at Silver Platters, you would probably find it in the Jazz section, or New-Jazz or Avant-Jazz if they have such a thing. My band Triptet would fall under the Electronic label, or maybe Free Jazz. My solo work is mostly electronic, probably in the experimental bin (which is usually half-off!!). I am unsure of labels for genres of music, I tend to see most music on a double continuum. Left to Right: Improvised to Composed. Top to Bottom (this one is harder): Popular to ? (Serious, Concert?). I try to find on this x-y axis the place where a certain music comes in, in my opinion, and then I have a reference for which listening "gear" I need to be in to enjoy/understand/appreciate it.
IB: The Donner Party would seem to be a rather morbid topic for an opera. How did you come to create Hunger? Did you dig through musty archives to do research or are there good capsule histories to read?
TB: I have been interested in the Donner Party since I was young. Growing up in the west, that story is part of the history curriculum in school. My dad would stop at the monument in Donner Pass when we would take car trips to California, and give his own spin on the gruesome tale. I saw a movie when I was 10 or 11, and it had a profound affect on my conception of this opera. I read all the books I could find on the subject, including diaries and historical accounts (often contradictory). When I understood that this story would be an opera, I found all sorts of resources. One of the descendants of George and Tamsen Donner came to the opening night show in Seattle.
I think the idea for the opera really began to get going when I found Tamsen Donner: A Woman's Journey by Ruth Whitman. Whitman was a feminist poet who, in the 1970s, took a year-long car trip following the same route and time as the Donners and wrote a re-imagined journal in the voice of Tamsen Donner. The first time I read this book (part poetry, part diary, part songs) I knew I had found my libretto. And this story was the perfect vehicle for this opera, the second in a three-part cycle of operas about American women—more precisely, strong and independent women who find themselves in a horrible situation not entirely of their own making. It is the struggle and the human reaction to these situations where I find the drama for these works.
IB: Strains of traditional American folk tunes recur throughout the recording, but that's just one small element of the whole. What other influences are at work here?
TB: Well, there is a strong influence of the American composer Charles Ives, whose music also contains strains of traditional American music. I think that there is an element of American Jazz in there as well. There are hymn settings, played on harmonium, which is kind of a small, portable pump-organ. The folk tunes that are woven into the work are also used as improvisatory material for the musicians in certain songs, which lends a kind of improvised feel to the whole piece. And all the performers are required to play harmonicas during the piece, again a nod to early American music. I would also cite the operas of Stravinsky, the music of George Crumb and Morton Feldman, the harmonic freedom of Arnold Schoenberg, and the stylized vocal music of Robert Ashley.
IB: Speaking of influences, I know you have some that are extra-musical. Could you say something about the role of books and writing on some of your other work? Any favorite books or authors that haven't yet made an appearance in your music?
TB: I am often influenced by literature, not always directly (as in an opera or song) but sometimes on a more deeply formal level. I have begun a cycle of string quartets (there will be 11 in total) each of five movements. Each of these movements is inspired by a chapter from a book called Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. These magical descriptions of imaginary cities are so moving and poignant; I have tried to exploit their essence in a musical version. The book is also an "open work," at least in its author's conception, so that you can read it in any order, at any time. This will be the form when all 55 movements are complete as well—a quartet can choose to play the movements in any order.
I love the writing of [Kazuo] Ishiguro and [Haruki] Murakami. The Unconsoled by Ishiguro is maybe my favorite piece of modern fiction (though I am kind of on an island with that choice, I think). I also love Richard Russo and the poetry of Margaret Atwood. And I am working my way this summer through David Foster Wallace (whose craftsmanship alone is enough to make any artist shudder).
IB: Be honest now: Has any success you've had in your career made you feel as good as you did when Marshawn Lynch ran for that touchdown against the Saints or Edgar Martinez hit his double against the Yankees?
TB: Those are both important moments for sure, especially because they are shared by a community of true believers. I have had some amazing things happen to me because I chose this life; sometimes I like to list them because it can be a hard and somewhat lonely path. I also have a file cabinet drawer full of rejection letters, which I for some reason keep. I like to hope that I can metaphorically hit .312 lifetime, with 309 homers and 514 doubles…Lord knows I won't get close to that on the softball field.

Doc the injury excuse is just letting him off the hook. By his own admission Dudley acknowledged he has been playing terrible. Also, he's not averaging 9 points. Dudley is at 8.7 PPG and that will likely go down after tonight
http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2013/12/13 ... ason-long/
Letting him off the hook? He couldn't even bend at the knee hardly for months. He acknowledged he was playing terrible when he was still hurt and not himself. He's noticeably improved now and we all can see that if we're honest. 8.7 vs 10: Is this a really big deal to you apparently? If he had been healthy, ok, that's a fair concern. Injured though, come on man. What did you expect him to join a new team while hurt and play to his averages? Illogical at best.
And despite his injury and inconsistency he's still shooting at an above average % for a SF (before today's game...450/.379). He just doesn't take enough shots for my taste.
Glad I could bring some entertainment because we know Dudley won't
Agreed. He only played 18 minutes today but went 3/3 for 7 pts. He's getting his 8.7ppg playing only 28mpg. He has such a nice shot Doc needs to make a point of having Jared catch and shoot more. Btw, he went from 32% beyond the arc to 38.3% in the five weeks since his self critical tweets. He's shooting excellent now just like we all knew he would based on his career averages right? Lol
I think there are better things to criticize Dudley about than missed layups. He's shooting 62% on layups this season, that's actually kinda good. Everyone misses some layups, but we can't act like he's doing poorly in that regard.
I think you might have too high expectations of basketball teams in general. Even the best teams have "fluke" games and "almost lose" certain games, that isn't really something to get too worried about unless it starts to happen too often. If it starts to happen to often, then most likely this team isn't a 29-14 team, but they are, so it's fine. Can't really get too worried about things like that. Teams like Minny and Dallas are good teams and teams one can't expect to just go and destroy or have no competition in a game against them.
His PPG going down in a game in which he played 18 minutes and scored 7 points is a pretty weird thing to mention.
Just like we previously said that we can't judge a player solely on percentages, we also can't make our primary mode of judging a player be their PPG. Everything requires context, and 7 pts in 18 minutes is higher than Dudley's current scoring rate for the season, so we can't really complain about that one and say "well he didn't score 10+ pts", well, no, duh, he played 18 minutes.
Also we have to be careful with the correlation vs causation issues with record when he scores >10 pts. I think that is an interesting observation, but we would have to look into the why and more than just the basic correlation. For example, he scored 10 pts in an 11 pt win against Philly on 4/15 FG and 1/8 3PT, so obviously his point total wasn't a determining factor in the win.
Then you have to say, maybe he scores more against the weaker defensive teams who aren't as able to contain penetration and stay on shooters, so what we are actually seeing is that Dudley is able to get more open shots against weaker defenses and therefore scorer more points. Maybe I shouldn't say weaker defenses, just in general, when the shot creators / the offense is able to break down the defense more effectively, Dudley get's more and better looks and scores more.
So in that case it would be less about him just scoring more, and more about the fact that the offenses ability to break down certain defenses more effectively results in more points for Dudley. So when the offense as a whole is firing on all cylinders, Dudley is also looking good.
...with that said, I think we can conclude that in general if Dudley is getting up more shots and scoring more points, it means that the teams offense is clicking better and working more efficiently, and therefore it is a good thing. Now, we can't stretch that and say Dudley scoring 10+ pts in itself is the key to those wins because his scoring is more likely a product of the play of others to get him those shots.
Every time Ralph says "Bingo!" after our best 3 point shooter drills it, I'm entertained.
Despite what criticisms I have of the guy it seems as if you have criteria to defend him as well. Then all i can say now is that we disagree on Dudley and the criteria of evaluation. I can tell you right now that we both see completely differently on this issue. You are welcome to your opinion.
For sure me too. The boneheaded plays are what kill me
And his knee getting to a 90% healthily status seems to coincide with that better shooting...hmmm.
I don't love Dudley's overall play as a starter, but his shooting is needed on this team. I'd be all for packaging Jamal and Barnes for a strong $8mil starting 3, but of course it would have to be one hell of an upgrade to justify dumping those two. Dudley would be great off the bench and for spreading the floor against certain teams. Jamal is either great or awful every night, and I'm ok with trading him for the right player.
And then losing his starting spot hmmm,
For THIS game..ok.
Oh and as to WHY Doc was "experimenting" with that change:
Interesting to see how everything works out with Bullock. Does he sitand wait for injuries or is something else in mind? Hedo seems to be the new 4 man with Jamison here and there so it will be hard to see where he fits.
Maybe we get Crawford more at backup one spot and Bullock at the two.
Notice the words I used when discussing a trade involving Jamal: We would have to get a great player in return. I respect if you're against the idea, but there's nothing fecal about it lol. The shots he creates are often garbage where a little ball movement would have worked equal or better at getting a decent shot up. We have a guy named Chris Paul we can use for all of our "Vinny ball" needs, which should be few and far between if we're playing decently smart basketball. Chris Paul is one of the best in the league at scoring on isos, better than Jamal by the numbers.
I wonder how many championship, conference championship or even conference finalist teams have started a #25 pick rookie. I'll bet it's a very small number, if any, and I'll bet that the number of teams that have done it through choice (not necessity) is even smaller.
probably more than have started Jared Dudley.
Good answer.
LOL, you do realize that Dudley has only been a majority starter 3 seasons in his career (the last three) and that there is a 25th pick every single year? Of course if Dudley starting is the limiting factor of a teams success, they probably have bigger problems.
http://www.mynbadraft.com/nba-draft-pic ... ll/250509/
...but I think Dudley is tied at zero with 25th picks starting in their rookie year on championship caliber teams.
Manu Ginobili, that's all I can think of, but Manu defies logic and Bullock will never be Manu no matter how hard he tries.
"Rookie". Ginobili came to the NBA at 25 years old and came off the bench as a rookie, so even Ginobili wasn't starting as a rookie on a high level team, but he played 20.7 MPG. There should be some low pick that has started on a high level team though; we are talking about a good amount of players here, so yea it should have happened.
Reggie is decent and has not proven yet.. Barnes and dudley have proven themselves. Nuff said
As good (well seasoned player before he got into the NBA) Manu was, he only started 5 games out of the 69 he played in that championship year for the Spurs.
Cassel, as the 24th pick for the Rockets played a lot, but only started 6 games that year.
Those are the only 2 I can think of regarding NBA champ teams.
By that logic, we should replace CP3, Blake and DJ in the starting lineup with late first-round rookies, too.
You must be an incredibly fast typist to get your posts up before your brain has even had time to consider the foolishness of their content.
"No rookies on the wood" Don Nelson
Rookie + playoff = no playoffs
Why isn't reggie going to the d-league.. he would learn so much more than he could on the end of the bench..
Maybe after Paul comes back this wouldn't be a bad idea. Right now Bullock is a bottom of the bench filler in case we have injury, but between Vujacic and Paul, he might even crunched for a spot on the active roster.
I don't him not playing has anything do with him being a rookie, Rivers has played plenty of rookies in the past.

Corneal transplant is a surgical procedure used to replace a portion of a diseased or damaged cornea with a healthy one.
The cornea is the clear, outer surface on the front of the eye.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A corneal transplant can correct vision problems caused by infections, injuries, or medical conditions that effect the cornea. It is often recommended for the following:
The procedure is highly successful. Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
The operation is most successful for patients who have the following:
It is less successful for those who have corneal infection
and severe injury, like a chemical burn.
Your ophthalmologist may do a physical exam and blood tests.
Before the procedure:
Two types of anesthesia can be used during a corneal transplant:
The procedure will be done under a surgical microscope. The damaged part of the cornea will be cut out. The new cornea will then be placed in the opening. The new cornea will be fastened with very fine stitches. Finally, a patch and shield will be put over the eye.
There is another technique called Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK). DSEK is used for some types of cornea transplants. It may result in shorter recovery time and better vision. With this technique, the doctor removes a much smaller part of the cornea, compared with older procedures.
1-2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You will most likely go home after a few hours in the recovery area.
After you leave the hospital, you should rest for the remainder of the day. When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Your eye will be checked several times during the following weeks and months. Stitches are usually left in place for at least several months.
Vision may initially be worse than before your surgery before your eye adjusts to the new cornea. It may take several months for it to improve.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

- A delicious and healthful culinary treat
- Two easy-to-grow, organic varieties
Not only is garlic a delicious culinary staple, it also has many health benefits. This collection of easy-to-grow, organic garlic is perfect for growing in a small garden.

Sorry they are not available this year. We are enjoying this year's harvest and hoped to reorder.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Disappointing Small Size
Best Uses
I purchased these garlic bulbs hoping to grow something better than the store offers. I was disappointed when these grew to only 1 inch across including all 6-7 cloves. They may be too small to grow up north.
I have a wild garlic that grows when mature, 3 - 4 inch across including 4-5 cloves each the size of ping pong balls only with a milder flavor.

2 of the 3 bulbs had soft rot less than a week after receiving. Put all in the ground and only have a dozen sprouts out of 3 large bulbs. Will have to wait and see if they are worth the effort and the expense

- No
Received the garlic bulbs in great condition with very clear planting instructions. Will know next summer how well they come up!
The garlic sold by Garden Supply is so fresh and healthy, can't wait to harvest next spring/summer.
Looking forward to our garlic in Summer that we planted.

Buck Hill Falls Vacation Rentals with Internet Access(12)

Recent Buck Hill Falls Reviews
Serenity in the Pines! A must see!!
Wow! I can't get over this place!! The description advertised doesn't nearly do it justice. It's everything we want in a vacation home and more, so much so that we've stayed there twice already! The house is gorgeous, the views are spectacular, the amenities are perfect and it's delightfully, tastefully appointed. To say the rooms are spacious is an understatement. With 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, this house is perfect for both single families or multiple families. The game room is the perfect gathering place for everyone given the fireplace, pool table and flat screen TV. The living room is a sanctuary where one can sit by the fireplace, read, relax, watch TV and enjoy the mountain view. The dining room can easily accommodate a large group. We sat 12 people comfortably. The house also has 2 large decks. One is a sun deck for the sun lovers and the other is a screened in shade porch. The community is delightful with tennis courts, lawn bowling, a swimming pool, hiking trails to spectacular waterfalls and more. It's conveniently located near ski resorts, outlet shopping, and antique stores. There are also several cottage shops with unique items that make a day of shopping a delight. There was never a lack of things to do. The owners of the house are wonderful to work with. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. We would absolutely recommend this house to our friends and family. We enjoy this house so much that we are planning a third vacation there again this spring! I can't wait!! The last time we stayed here the kitchen was newly remodeled and the difference is unbelievable...spacious with new appliances and a beautiful center island.
Wonderful Home
Overall this house is immaculate. It was a gorgeous home, very clean, lots of space and just overall a great rental.
Great Family Fun in the Poconos
Our family celebrated my husband's birthday by weekending in the Poconos - two sons and their wives and two granddaughters. We arrived on Friday afternoon and prepared dinner in the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, spent Saturday hiking to the falls and playing games in front of the fire, ate out on Saturday night at a nearby restaurant - My Daugher's Place. The food was excellent but the service was quite slow. Delicious family brunches were prepared both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Everyone slept comfortably in the four large bedrooms. We would rent this house again if Buck Hill Falls seemed like the right destination for a family trip in the future.

Greg Van Avermaet sprinted to sixth place for the BMC Racing Team Thursday at GP Kanton Aargau-Gippingen after teammate Martin Kohler was in the breakaway for much of the 181.5-kilometer race on a hilly circuit in Switzerland.
Ballan's First Race Back
The race marked the return of BMC Racing Team's Alessandro Ballan. The past world road champion was seriously hurt in a training crash in December, but rode the first 150 km before withdrawing. "I am happy because it was not an easy race at the start," Ballan said. "The first three laps were really, really fast. I wasn't really in condition to do that speed but I was feeling better every lap and felt good today. I hope I feel better every race." Kohler, the Swiss national road champion, said his eight-man breakaway was working well after escaping on the second of 15 laps. But with their advantage hovering at barely four minutes, a truck pulled onto the course near the finish line and blocked the entire road. "They didn't stop the peloton, so we only had two minutes left," Kohler said. "From then on, every other guy was not riding anymore or taking a break. It was a bit of a strange race." After the last of the escapees was brought back inside 25 km to go, several attacks whittled the lead group to fewer than 20 riders. The BMC Racing Team had Mathias Frank and Van Avermaet still in contention. "Mathias tried to help me in the sprint but he wasn't feeling good any more and I wasn't either," Van Avermaet said. "I was feeling a little sick last week so my sprint was not what I was expecting."
Listen to complete comments from Ballan, Kohler and Van Avermaet on the BMC Racing Team Audio Line.

2. Double crop alternative. In western Virginia, cooler climates lend themselves to less stressful growing conditions for corn most years compared to hotter areas of the state. In the cooler regions the greater need may be the added option to increase total forage yield per acre using a double-cropping system. Corn can be used in rotation with harvestable winter small grain crops, but it can be a challenge to get corn planted on time. With its later planting date, BMR dwarf forage sorghum may be advantageous following a spring small grain silage harvest.
In conclusion, BMR dwarfing forage sorghum is relatively new to the scene. While there appears to be justification for its use in dairy forage systems, remember to consider it as part of an overall forage management strategy. I do not recommend a whole farm conversion to forage sorghum away from corn silage, but it may be another tool to consider. Diversity in your farm's cropping and feeding plan reduces risks for crop failure and can help break disease and pest cycles. Consider all these factors, and seek trusted advice as you decide what forages to include in your cropping and dairy herd feeding plans.

Cirrus Aircraft Sold to Chinese Interests
China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (Caiga) of Zhuhai, China, completed its acquisition of Duluth, Minn.-based Cirrus Aircraft today. Sellers include private-equity firm Arcapita, which owned 60 percent of Cirrus, and minority shareholders (including former Cirrus chairman and co-founder Alan Klapmeier). The plan to buy 100 percent of the light aircraft manufacturer for an estimated $210 million–minus Cirrus's outstanding debts–was announced on February 28. However, U.S. concerns about technology transfer stretched out the consummation of the agreement. "We're excited to have joined forces with Caiga," said Cirrus president and CEO Brent Wouters. "This partnership will benefit our business and our customers. Caiga has the resources that will allow us to expedite our aircraft development programs and accelerate our global expansion." Chief among these development programs is Cirrus' single-engine Vision jet, a program that lack of funding has slowed to barely more than a snail's pace for some time. At the Sun 'n' Fun Fly-in in late March, Cirrus chairman Dale Klapmeier said it would take about 36 months from the close of the deal to achieve FAA certification and initial deliveries of the Vision jet. He added that the Chinese view the jet as Cirrus's "growth engine."
