NSFD board passes funding formula
The matter was all but settled Monday afternoon when River Hills Village President Bob Brunner, called first in a roll call vote, gave his assent for a funding formula proposal he had pledged to veto up until last week.
Following his "yes," the rest of the North Shore Fire Department board quickly and without further discussion passed the proposal unanimously.
Now approved by the NSFD board, the formula proposal will need to be ratified by the village boards or common council in each of the seven NSFD member communities. Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper requested that each board vote on the proposal by the end of the year, so that in the unlikely event the formula is turned down somewhere, Glendale could still issue its two-year withdrawal notice, effective 2016, by the end of the year.
Also on the NSFD board agenda was the potential expulsion of River Hills, a subject which was retired after Brunner voted "yes" on the funding formula.
"There's no need to go into that discussion," Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger said, adding later, "I'm very happy that NSFD is going to stay together as a cohesive unit."» Read Full Article
River Hills passes levy, tax rate increases
River Hills — For the first time in five years, River Hills residents will see an increase in the village tax levy, and as a result, an increase in the tax rate.
In each of the last four years, the Village Board has kept the village tax levy flat at about $2.9 million. The levy approved by the Village Board last week breaks the $3 million mark, and is about $81,000, or $2.7 percent, more than the 2013 levy. The increase amounts to a 13 cent increase to the tax rate for a total of $6.23 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Overall spending is budgeted to increase by about $142,000, or 4 percent, a majority of which will go toward increased debt payments.
For the average River Hills resident with a $738,400 home, that means a village bill of $4,600 for 2014 — about $128 more than last year, when the average home value was estimated at about $733,000.
About half of the $80,000 levy increase will go toward an increase in village costs for police and fire dispatch services provided by Bayside, Village Manager Chris Lear said. The other half will be used for an increase in property insurance.
Guiding the board's decision to increase the levy was the desire to curb the village's debt load. When reviewing a preliminary budget in October, the board decided to use the levy increase to eliminate planned borrowing for capital projects and a projected budget deficit. The 2014 budget increases debt payments by about $100,000, to a total of about $600,000, to increase the rate at which the village pays down its outstanding debt.» Read Full Article
River Hills on board with NSFD funding formula
River Hills — Village President Bob Brunner will give his approval next week when the North Shore Fire Department votes on a proposed funding formula.
After spending nearly an hour in closed session talks Wednesday evening, the River Hills Village Board gave a 6-1 recommendation that Brunner votes in favor of the formula next week. Brunner, who has repeatedly criticized the proposal, was the lone "no" vote.
Trustees declined to comment on the nature of their closed-door deliberations.
The meeting was the second time in the last week that the River Hills board discussed the formula proposal, which Brunner had previously said he would veto at the NSFD board level. Talks among NSFD board members became heated in the last month after Brunner announced his intention to veto the formula, prompting Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper to say he would advise Glendale to withdraw from the fire department.
Over the weekend, Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger invoked a provision of the NSFD agreement which allows six communities to expel the seventh on a unanimous vote. The NSFD board Tuesday morning opted to hold over the formula and expulsion deliberations until next week, a move which gave the River Hills board one more chance to sway Brunner.» Read Full Article
Glendale passes flat levy, reduced budget
Glendale — The city will tax the same amount as last year and spend less, but a decrease in property values means an increase in the tax rate.
The Common Council last week approved a $12.2 million levy and $18.7 million city budget. The levy remains flat in 2014 while overall city spending decreases by about $215,000, or 1 percent, compared to 2013.
Though the city's equalized value — the fair market value of city properties as estimated by the state — increased, the city's assessed value decreased by about $8 million. The spike in value of commercial properties within the city's tax incremental financing districts paired with the drop in assessed values citywide means a 21 cent, or 2.8 percent, increase in the tax rate to $7.54 per $1,000 of assessed value, City Administrator Richard Maslowski said.
For the average Glendale homeowner with a $170,000 home, that means a city tax bill of $1,281, about $35 more than last year.
In a memo to the Common Council, Maslowski writes that the continued struggle is in accounting for inflation in basic operating costs like electricity, gas, and natural gas while having flat revenue due to state-mandated levy limits.» Read Full Article
Bayside keeps tax levy flat for fourth consecutive year
Bayside — Bayside has held the line on its tax levy for the fourth consecutive year. The tax rate on the other hand is rising slightly.
After a brief overview of the 2014 budget, the Bayside Village Board on Tuesday approved a $4.4 million tax levy that supports a $9.3 million budget. With decreasing property values, the tax rate is increasing 5 cents — $7.71 per $1,000 in assessed value in 2013 to $7.76 in 2014.
In 2012, the tax rate was $7.07, according to 2014 budget documents.
The average Bayside home will see an increase of $15.60 on the village portion of their tax bill. For a $300,000 home, that totals $2,328.
The tax levy is only $7 less than the last two years and identical to the 2011 budget, said Village Manager Andy Pederson.» Read Full Article
Sewer rates to increase in Whitefish Bay's 2014 budget
Whitefish Bay — Sewer rates will increase by 16 percent next year in Whitefish Bay under the 2014 budget adopted by the village.
After conducting a public hearing on Monday, the Village Board adopted resolutions approving the main components of the 2014 budget, including its four utility funds. The board also approved a separate resolution for the sewer utility rate increase.
Beginning Jan. 1, the rate will rise from $2.65 per 100 cubic feet to $3.07 per 100 cubic feet, an increase expected to generate more than $400,000 in additional revenue for metered local usage in 2014, compared with what is projected for 2013.
Village Manager Patrick DeGrave said the rate increase, which was initially proposed at 33 percent for 2014, will be split between 2014 and 2015 in an effort to ease the burden on users. The increase, along with the transfer of about $227,000 from the village's 2014 capital fund, will help offset increased debt service payments of more than $500,000, which will fund projects along Larkin Street and Hollywood, Hampton and Bartlett avenues, in addition to design and construction inspection services.
Since 2011, the village's debt service costs have increased by 108 percent for its sewer utility and 45 percent for its water utility, as presented during a recent budget review session. With a continued focus on infrastructure improvements, the 2014 budget includes a total of about $11.6 million in capital projects to be financed through a combination of borrowing and special assessments for water, sewer and stormwater utility improvements, as stated in the letter of transmittal for the proposed budget.» Read Full Article
Shorewood taxes to increase slightly
Shorewood — Average village homeowners can expect to pay about $16 more in taxes for village services in 2014 than they did for 2013.
On Monday the Village Board approved a 2014 tax levy of about $10.6 million, a 0.97 percent increase over the 2013 levy. The increase is the first of five annual increases of about 1 percent planned by the village board; the total 5 percent increase is the amount allowed under state levy limit laws.
According to Village Manager Chris Swartz's budget presentation, the levy has increased at an average of about 2 percent over the last 10 years, in part due to a decrease in interest on village investments and declining state aid.
"Those things continued to be squeezed," Swartz said. "You have to cut expenditures, as we've done, and increase property taxes (as a result)."
For 2014 the village tax rate comes to $7.17 per $1,000 of assessed home value, a 5 cent increase over last year. For a Shorewood homeowner with a $300,000 home, that means a 2014 village tax bill of $2,152, or $15.65 more than the 2013 tax rate.» Read Full Article
NSFD board delays formula, expulsion decisions as River Hills meeting looms
Waiting for the results of a second round of discussion at the River Hills Village Board on Wednesday, the North Shore Fire Department Board of Directors early Tuesday decided to delay its decision on a proposed funding formula.
The decision will be made when the NSFD board meets at 4 p.m. Nov. 25 at the NSFD headquarters in Brown Deer.
Consideration of both the formula and a possible expulsion of River Hills was on the agenda Tuesday. By delaying the two matters, the NSFD board bought time for the River Hills Village Board to weigh in and potentially call a vote on the formula at its upcoming Wednesday meeting.
River Hills Village Manager Chris Lear said several trustees have contacted him to have a formula discussion and potential vote included on the board agenda Wednesday.
"We want to see what the outcome of that is before we cast this thing in stone," said Bayside Village President Sam Dickman, who made the motion to hold over deliberations until next week.» Read Full Article
River Hills could face expulsion from North Shore Fire Department
River Hills could find itself forced out of the North Shore Fire Department, depending on the outcome of an NSFD Board of Directors meeting Tuesday.
The main topic of conversation will be a proposed funding formula, which River Hills Village President Bob Brunner has threatened to veto. Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper has said that he will advise Glendale to leave the fire department if the proposal is defeated.
Meeting with the River Hills Village Board on Friday, Brunner said he was committed to the veto, despite whatever feedback the River Hills board may have had. He declined to comment Monday what his position was relative to the veto.
The fire services agreement binding the seven NSFD member communities contains a provision which allows representatives from six communities to expel the remaining community on a unanimous vote. The provision has existed in the NSFD arrangement since the department's inception in 1995 but has not been invoked or included on an agenda before now.
Over the weekend, Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger requested that an item relating to a possible expulsion be added to the NSFD board's agenda.» Read Full Article
Two charged in Glendale murder
Glendale — Robert Christophel, 28, of Milwaukee, and Nicholas Retzlaff, 25, of Bayside, were charged Friday with first-degree intentional homicide in the murder of 65-year-old Glendale resident Peter Holzberger.
The two also are charged with burglary, and Retzlaff is charged with attempting to flee from an officer, leading a high-speed chase through the streets of Milwaukee.
The charges were filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
The men face life sentences if they are convicted on the homicide charge.
Holzberger was a former member of the Glendale Environmental Council and a transparency advocate who threw his hat in the ring three times for Glendale's 3rd Aldermanic District in the 1990s and early 2000s. In each of his three attempts, Holzberger lost out to longtime incumbent William Huegel.» Read Full Article

Glendale — Glendale police have arrested two Milwaukee men in connection with the murder of Peter M. Holzberger, 65, who lived at 6374 North Port Washington Road, according to a GPD news release.

Pair arrested after report of woman injuring her leg at Sybaris Pool Suites
A 21-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested on a Greenfield warrant and a 25-year-old Milwaukee man for a parole violation after police and rescue responded to a report of a woman injuring her leg getting out of a hot tub at Sybaris Pool Suites, 10240 N. Cedarburg Road, at 1:42 a.m. Nov. 7.
According to the Mequon police report:
Another woman left the suite just as police arrived. While the injured woman was being treated, police asked the man about the strong odor of marijuana evident in the suite. He said the two women smoked the drug. He was arrested for violating his parole not to be around people who break the law.
After the woman was medically cleared she was taken into custody on the warrant.
This is the second recent report of police activity at the Sybaris, where a night of partying resulted in a trashed room Nov. 4.
Fox Point still not in step with footbridge costs
Fox Point — Citing a recently revealed cost estimate for replacing the Bridge Lane Ravine footbridge, the Village Board has decided not to immediately seek a new estimate and will take up the issue again next month.
For the first time Tuesday, village trustees saw a cost estimate from Ayres Associates, the engineering firm which has drawn up plans for the potential new bridge. Village President Michael West said the estimate, dated February 2013, was kept under wraps until he could review it.
At about $980,000, the estimate is among the lowest of the 17 estimates given to the village since 2010, which span a variety of construction techniques and bridge styles.
However, West noted, the estimate has its pros and cons. It's the first based on the actual design from Ayres, which the village would use if it ever decides to go forward with the reconstruction. But as West pointed out, Ayres' role as engineering firm, which differ from a construction company, leaves room to question the estimate.
"It was prepared by our consultant using the design they've created, so that's important," West said. "The negative is that it's prepared by an engineering consultant as opposed to someone who actually builds things."» Read Full Article
Congregation Shalom denied statue lighting
Fox Point — Congregation Shalom will not be allowed to light the two metal statues fronting Santa Monica Boulevard.
A motion to allow lighting on the two approximately 25-foot tall statues failed on a 3-3 tie at the Village Board on Tuesday. Trustees Bill Warner, Douglas H. Frazer and Village President Michael West voted for the lighting, while trustees F.R. Dengel, Beverly Bell and Eric Fonstad voted against it.
The Plan Commission had previously recommended approval of the lighting on a 4-2 vote.
The crux of the discussion Tuesday was a particular point of the village lighting ordinance that says that any new lighting must comply with the residential nature of the village.
"We're a residential community," Fonstad said. "If we approve lighting these sculptures, what do we do when somebody else wants to light something in their yard?"» Read Full Article
Fox Point weighs in on NSFD funding formula
Fox Point — Village President Michael West on Tuesday was given the informal support of the Village Board on his intent to approve a proposed fire department funding formula.
West, along with representatives from the other six North Shore Fire Department member communities, meet next Tuesday at Shorewood Village Hall to vote on the proposal. In the meantime, River Hills, whose President Bob Brunner has been the one NSFD board member to openly oppose the proposal, meets Friday to deliberate and may call a vote.
The proposed formula, which determines the share of the total NSFD budget each community pays, would take effect in 2016 and replace a three-year formula set by the NSFD board in 2012. With the help of third-party mediator Public Policy Forum, officials and administrators from the member communities arrived at the new formula after 10 months of consideration.
And though policy forum President Rob Henken has said the resulting formula proposal gained consensus among city and village administrators, the same cannot be said of elected officials. In mid-October River Hills' Brunner called the proposal a "bailout" for Glendale and threatened to veto the new formula if a vote is called at the coming meeting. In response, Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper said he would advise Glendale to separate from NSFD in 2016 if the proposed formula is defeated.
Last week Whitefish Bay Village President Julie Siegel called a vote on the matter at the Bay board, receiving a unanimous backing of her plan to approve the proposal.» Read Full Article
Mequon's tax rate flat, but Council using reserves to balance budget
Mequon — Mequon residents will not see any increase in the city's tax rate in 2014, marking the fifth consecutive year it has been kept at the same level.
Following a public hearing, the Common Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance adopting the budget, as recommended by the Appropriations Committee, which sets expenditures at about $18.6 million, a 1.2 percent increase from 2013.
The budget sets the tax rate at $3.04 per $1,000 of assessed value, which remains unchanged since 2010. The total tax levy of about $19.6 million represents a slight increase of 0.14 percent from the 2013 tax levy.
District 7 Alderman Andrew Nerbun praised city staff for their efforts to hold the line on taxes, but also cautioned against the continued practice of utilizing fund balance in order to do so.
Nerbun commented that while internal transfers of excess reserve funds can work well as a short-term measure to balance the budget, the city should make an effort to wean itself off of the practice in the near future, to avoid bringing its reserve funds below the city's recommended level of 10 percent of the entire general fund and forcing the city to turn elsewhere to bridge the gap.» Read Full Article
Thiensville passes flat levy, budget
Thiensville — The village will tax slightly less and budget the same amount in 2014 as it did in the current year.
The Village Board on Monday unanimously approved an essentially flat budget and tax levy. A slight decrease in the village's levy means the 2014 village tax rate will fall 1 cent to $7.41 per $1,000 of assessed property value, Village Administrator Dianne Robertson said.
For the average resident with a $241,200 home, that means a village tax bill of $1,787.29, or about $2 less than last year.
The village's overall property value is down slightly, Robertson said, owing to the two Main Street properties bought earlier this year by the village becoming tax exempt as a result.
If the sale of the properties to Thiensville doctor Gary Lewis, who will develop the land into a multiuse medical facility, takes place before the end of the year, the land will again become taxable and could slightly reduce the tax rate, Robertson said.» Read Full Article
Steffen students learn about the price of freedom
Mequon — There's no better way to teach students about the price of freedom and the importance of veterans than to show them.
Steffen Middle School students had a powerful lesson during a Veterans Day program last week when they watched the documentary "Honor Flight," which follows World War II veterans on their journey to see the Washington, D.C., memorial. World War II veteran Joe Demler was one of those veterans. The Port Washington resident discusses the traumatic events of his past as a prisoner of war in the film. He then spoke in greater detail about those events with Steffen students last week.
Demler was captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He was held captive in a Nazi prison camp for months. When he was finally freed, he weighed 70 pounds and had mere days left to live. An iconic photo showing Demler in the prison camp ran in an issue of Life magazine on April 16, 1945. That image of Demler has been called "the human skeleton."
"I had about three days left (to live)," he said of the day he was liberated. "When I was discharged, the doctor said, 'son, you can go home, you were born again.'"
Fast forward 60 years later and Demler's past has become a source of inspiration.» Read Full Article
Art sale to benefit historical society
Thiensville — An upcoming art sale Friday and Saturday will both celebrate deceased Thiensville artist Earle Raine and raise money for the Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society.
The Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society is a recent recipient of a matching grant from the Wisconsin State Historical Society, President Bob Blazich said, and auction company owner Tarq Durante will donate 50 percent of the sale proceeds to help the historical society raise funds for the grant.
On Friday, the nearly 100 available works of Earle Raine will be 50 percent off, or best offer, at Cedarburg Auction and Estate Sales, 227 North Main Street. On Saturday the works will be marked down further, an auctioneer said.
According to an MTHS statement, Raine was a nationally acclaimed artist who graduated from the former Layton School of Art in Milwaukee in the 1930s. He was a longtime Thiensville resident and died in 2005 at the age of 94.
Sale prices range from $10 to more than $700. Works include World War II paintings from Raine's time in France, artwork for Collier's magazine covers and cartoons, as well as sketches and paintings of people, area buildings and landscapes.» Read Full Article
Shorewood residents want tax hikes capped by CPI, favor consolidations
Shorewood — A majority of residents support maintaining village services so long as resulting tax increases are kept at or below the rate of inflation, and support consolidating a number of village departments with neighboring municipalities, according to results of the 2013 village survey.
The survey was the third village-wide questionnaire conducted in partnership with nearby University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the last 10 years. Of the three, the 2013 survey had the highest response rate, with nearly 1,600 residents participating for a 23.6 percent response rate by household.
"It was the first time we did it online," Special Projects Coordinator Peter Cahill said of the survey. "We weren't sure how well it was going to go over, but I think it did go over really well."
Working within constraints
Consolidations of services like police or public works have been perennial topics of conversation in the North Shore in recent years, and though no one has yet called a vote on the subject or solidified a proposal, interest has increased as state-mandated levy limits have squeezed municipal budgets.» Read Full Article
Two-floor suite trashed after apparent wild night at the Sybaris
Criminal damage to property was reported after management at the Sybaris Pool Suites discovered a two-floor, $349 per-night suite was trashed the morning of Nov 4.
According to the Mequon police report:
A 42-year-old Milwaukee man, known to the motel after having stayed there before, rented the two-floor suite with both a pool and a hot tub putting down a $100 deposit at 6 p.m. Nov. 3.
Police were called in the morning after management found the damage which included broken liquor bottles in the pool, a queen-sized mattress in an empty hot tub, wet carpets, marijuana ash scattered about, vomit in a bathroom sink, dents in a mural behind the hot tub, and floors littered with cups, towels and clothing.
Loss to the motel, 10240 N. Cedarburg Road, consisted of $1,200 rental revenue and at least $500 damage to the suite.

Kimberly football team smashes Homestead in playoff stunner, 37-7
Kimberly football coach Steve Jones admitted that his team played with a chip on its shoulder Friday night at Homestead.
The Papermakers had an 11-0 record, a 50 points-per-game average and a physical, quick, efficient team that has not been seriously challenged all season, and yet all it could do was earn a second seed in its WIAA Division 2 playoff bracket behind the defending state champion Highlanders.
That chip landed like a boulder on Homestead's head Friday night, as the Papermakers made the two-hour trip down from Kimberly a profitable one, dominating the Highlanders from the get-go in a 37-7 Division 2, Level 3 playoff victory.
"Not taking anything away from Homestead; they're an excellent team and a deserving number one seed," said Jones, "but it was just unfortunate that we were placed in the same (eight-team) bracket."
"I think this started with our seniors. We have experienced senior-dominated offensive and defensive lines and we wanted to establish control at the point of attack right away, and I think we did a successful job of that."» Read Full Article
New agreement could speed police responses
A proposed mutual aid agreement would allow police dispatchers at the consolidated Bayside Communications Center to send the nearest officer to emergency scenes, regardless of which community employs the officer.
The agreement was approved by the Whitefish Bay Village Board on Monday, and will need to be approved in Bayside, Brown Deer, Fox Point, Glendale, River Hills and Shorewood before taking effect.
In emergency situations, the Bayside dispatchers, who are always tracking the location of each department's squad cars, have the authority to send police officers across jurisdictional lines in order to reduce response times. The concept of the agreement was born last year out of the potential for the consolidated dispatch center to quicken emergency responses, Whitefish Bay Village Manager Patrick DeGrave said, and after a lot of wordsmithing by municipal attorneys is ready for approval.
'They're going to help'
"It's the closest car, regardless of the patch on their shoulder, DeGrave said. "...It's really to service the communities the best we can, which is to get the nearest person with training there as quick as we can."» Read Full Article
Young runners raise money to honor peer, fund hospital
Mequon — Like many of us who have sweated it out on the treadmill or track, Karen Rader and Amy Bongard have a love-hate relationship with running.
But, as they'll tell you, they focus on the love.
Rader was visiting friends in California a few years back when she ran in a 5K sponsored by nonprofit Girls on the Run. The nonprofit, founded in 1996, organizes elementary and middle school-age girls into groups with the goal of helping each girl embrace her individual strengths.
Her interest piqued by her experience in California, Rader sought out Bongard — who was, at the time, her eldest daughter's first-grade teacher at Donges Bay Elementary — and the pair started their own Girls on the Run chapter in Mequon last year.

Nicolet expels student for bomb scare
Glendale — The student believed to have written the note which precipitated a bomb scare and evacuation of Nicolet High School on Oct. 16 has been expelled from the district.
At the second of two closed-door hearings in the last week, the School Board on Tuesday expelled the student, whose identity wasn't released by the district.
On Oct. 16 a "vague" note, perceived to be threatening, was found and prompted a schoolwide lockdown. A bomb squad sweep of the building turned up two suspicious packages. Nicolet's roughly 1,100 students were evacuated, after which classes and district activities were canceled for the day.
The two packages found by the bomb squad were later determined to be non-threatening.
The student expelled this week was later arrested and referred to juvenile authorities on a federal bomb threat charge, Glendale Police said.» Read Full Article
Survey says: River Hills residents split on shared police, DPW
River Hills — Recently released results of the 2013 River Hills village survey show residents are split on whether the village should consolidate its police and public works with area departments.
The idea is a perennial topic of conversation throughout the North Shore, and though no one has gone so far as to call a vote on the matter or solidify a proposal, general interest has increased in recent years as state-mandated levy limits have squeezed municipal budgets.
The survey was distributed over the summer and had a 33 percent response rate. Among more general questions about the level of service in River Hills — residents overwhelming rated service as excellent or good — the theme of the survey was: how to do more with less?
"The trustees were looking for input from the residents on how to fund the services of the village with the budget dollars we have," Village Manager Chris Lear said. "The board would like to maintain our low tax rate, and how to do that is difficult."
When asked how to deal with budget constraints, a majority of respondents said the village should hold the line on property taxes, consider staff cuts, or hold the line even if that means making staff cuts. On the flip side, about 46 percent of respondents said the village should maintain services, presumably with increased taxes over time as a result.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer village tax rate increases in light of continued property value decline
Brown Deer — The average village homeowner can expect to pay about $15 more in village taxes than last year, according to a 2014 budget and levy passed by the Village Board on Monday.
On average, village taxes account for about a quarter of a resident's property tax bill, which includes levies from other taxing authorities like the school district, Milwaukee County, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and Milwaukee Area Technical College.
The total village budget is set to increase by about $87,000, or less than 1 percent, compared to last year. Similarly, the overall village levy increases by about $24,000, or 0.3 percent, the amount allowed by state law as a result of new construction in the village.
The levy increase, paired with a projected decline in overall village property values, is expected to cause a tax rate increase of 11 cents over last year to $8.58 per $1,000 of assessed value. For the average Brown Deer homeowner with a house valued at $136,654, that means a village tax bill of $1,138.38 — about $15 more than last year.
As Village Manager Michael Hall pointed out in his presentation to the board, 2013 marks the fifth consecutive year overall property values have decreased throughout the village. Property values were rising steadily year after year before the overall decline began in 2008, reflecting the nationwide boom and bust pattern of the housing bubble and so-called Great Recession.» Read Full Article
Bay board backs NSFD funding formula
Whitefish Bay — Village President Julie Siegel will have the weight of the Village Board behind her when she votes in favor of a proposed funding formula at a North Shore Fire Department Board meeting later this month.
The board voted unanimously Monday to approve the new formula, which the NSFD board will potentially vote on at its upcoming Nov. 19 meeting. If approved there, the formula will then need to be ratified by each of NSFD's seven member communities.
The proposed formula, which determines the share of the total NSFD budget each community pays, would take effect in 2016 and replace a three-year formula set by the NSFD board in 2012. With the help of third-party mediator Rob Henken of nonpartisan think-tank Public Policy Forum, officials and administrators from the member communities arrived at the new formula after 10 months of consideration.
And though Henken has said the resulting formula proposal gained consensus among city and village administrators, the same cannot be said of elected officials. In mid-October River Hills Village President Bob Brunner called the proposal a "bailout" for Glendale and threatened to veto the new formula if a vote is called at the coming meeting. In response, Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper said he would advise Glendale to separate from NSFD in 2016 if the proposed formula is defeated.
Siegel said the support of the Whitefish Bay Village Board will be "key" when she attends the NSFD board meeting later this month and potentially votes on the matter.» Read Full Article

Cedarburg set pieces oust Whitefish Bay in state soccer, 2-1
Whitefish Bay dominated the run of play, had many more shots on goal, corner kicks and free kicks than Cedarburg did in the WIAA State Division 2 soccer semifinal Friday afternoon at Uihlein Soccer Park.
But the Blue Dukes North Shore rivals converted on two set pieces, one off a corner kick and another off a free kick and that was enough to oust Bay from its first state tournament berth in 10 years by a 2-1 count.
"It's been a focus for us the last month of the season," said Bulldog coach Patrick Sorensen of the set pieces. "We came up huge with them today. We had to be able to defend them well and we had to be aggressive and convert our opportunities when we had the chance (offensively)."
The victory propelled the Bulldogs (15-4-2) into the WIAA State Division 2 final on Saturday against Oregon, which defeated Marshfield in the second D2 semifinal. It also avenged a 2-0 win Bay earned over Cedarburg earlier this fall en route to the Blue Dukes' North Shore Conference championship.
Bay (17-6) was denied its first finals' opportunity since that last state berth in 2003 when it lost the D2 final to Appleton Xavier, 4-2.» Read Full Article
Two deaths in one day taxes North Shore Fire Department
Two people died in the North Shore on Wednesday, a contractor who was trapped in a Fox Point garage collapse in the morning and an elderly Shorewood woman who perished in a duplex fire the same evening.
Meanwhile, in Fox Point, a driver involved in a rollover crash narrowly escaped a passing train.
It was a tough day for a number of North Shore Fire Department's paramedics and firefighters, who pulled one body from the collapsed garage in the morning and another from the duplex fire in the evening.
"It was an emotionally trying day for that group of guys," NSFD Lt. Dan Tyk said. "It's not common to have two traumatic deaths like that in the North Shore on the same day."

Range Line Inn in Mequon has new owners
Range Line Inn in Mequon, housed in a building dating to around 1840, has added another chapter to its history: Longtime owner Patrick Strong has sold the restaurant to his brother and sister-in-law, Jack Strong and Kristy Knudsen.
"It's still in the family," Knudsen said. It's the second time for a sale between the brothers: Patrick had bought the business, at 2635 W. Mequon Road, from Jack in 1985, Knudsen said.
The sale was final Oct. 15.
Knudsen said longtime guests can expect continuity, as executive chef David Doering is staying on and a number of the recipes used over the years were Jack Strong's.
But, she added, specials are planned, and some classic dishes will be lightened, using less fat and salt. And the wine selection by the glass and bottle will be broadened.» Read Full Article

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 21, 2001
OncoLink would like to recognize the contribution of the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA) whose initiative with Pharmacia Oncology and Pfizer has made this publication possible.
OncoLink has joined forces with the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA) to form the NCCRA Clinical Trials Resource Center at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center. Together, we will strive to raise public awareness about colorectal cancer. The NCCRA is studying the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer and identify potential preventive and treatment therapies. The NCCRA combines basic, clinical, and epidemiological research, conducted by the nation's leading scientists, to search for better, non-invasive tests to help detect colorectal cancer in its early, easy-to-treat stages.
We can make progress by encouraging participation in clinical trials that will help us find ways to prevent and treat this potentially devastating disease. It is only through research that we can make progress in preventing and treating colorectal cancer. This can best be achieved by allowing our leading scientists to study families with a history of colon cancer and through developing new drugs to prevent and treat this cancer. Through a collaboration with the OncoLink, the NCCRA has created this clinical research center that will enable the nation's leading scientists to conduct pivotal research on preventing and treating colorectal cancer.
Visit the OncoLink Colorectal Cancer Section or the NCCRA website.
We encourage you to learn more and become active in conquering colorectal cancer. You can help by taking a confidential survey, which was developed by cancer experts as an interactive way to help our leading scientists study families with a history of colorectal cancer. Although the survey contains several questions about you and your family, it should only take about 10 minutes of your time. Your answers may help the NCCRA study the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer and identify potential preventive and treatment therapies. We assure you that your answers will remain on a secure server. Only the principal investigators and participating researchers in the clinical trials approved by the NCCRA scientific advisory board will have access to your information in order to determine your initial eligibility for their particular trial.
After you complete the survey, your name will be entered into a national registry. NCCRA Scientists will use the information you volunteer to determine your eligibility for research studies called clinical trials that will help us find ways to prevent and treat this potentially devastating disease. If you are eligible for a trial you will be contacted by one of the NCCRA research scientists.
Remember that your eligibility for these trials is based upon the answers you provide today. If your health history changes, please visit again and repeat the survey to update our registry. You can help us make progress toward conquering colorectal cancer. To take the survey on OncoLink or call the toll free hotline at 866-724-4100.

Colorectal Cancer is the nation's second leading cancer killer that affects over 130,000 Americans, both men and women, every year. Unfortunately, nearly 60,000 people die from its complications annually. It does not have to be that way. According to the Centers for Disease Control, colorectal cancer is more than 90% curable if caught early. Even though the disease is highly preventable, fewer than half of all Americans over the age of 50 have ever been tested for the disease, mostly because we are afraid to talk about it. However, if found early, you can fight the disease and win.
According to the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, colorectal cancer is preventable through regular testing, and through the removal of polyps (adenomas) in the colon, which often grow into cancerous tumors. You can greatly reduce your risk of getting colorectal cancer by making healthy choices and taking a few simple and easy steps -- steps that could save your life.
It usually starts as a small polyp...
Colorectal cancer usually starts as a small polyp growing on the inside of the colon or rectum. Not all polyps turn into cancer, but removing these polyps early prevents them from turning cancerous. Polyps usually take between 5 and 15 years to become cancerous, and things such as regular exercise may reduce the rate at which polyps grow.
Anil Rustgi, MD, the T. Grier Miller Associate Professor of Medicine and Genetics and the Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology at the University of Pennsylvania, was one of just eight medical researchers asked to serve on the medical advisory board for the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA). The NCCRA, which officially launched in March 2000 was co-founded by journalist and Today show host Katie Couric and cancer fundraising activist Lilly Tartikoff, is an organization devoted to public education about colorectal cancer and fundraising efforts that will support research into prevention, detection, and therapy.
Dr. Rustgi specializes in the molecular biology of colon cancer, chemoprevention, and molecular diagnostics - in other words, he works to understand what happens at the molecular level when someone develops colon cancer. As a member of the advisory board, he is working alongside researchers from world-class institutions.
The project's first priority has been to raise public awareness about screening, risk factors, and prevention of colon cancer. "Historically, efforts that enhance public awareness really have needed to be focused - and people who are well-known serve as catalysts," Dr. Rustgi told OncoLink. "It took years before screening for breast, cervical, and other cancers became part of the public consciousness. Such a concerted, consistent effort has not happened with colon cancer until now. This is likely to have a great impact on screening."
Much of Dr. Rustgi's research focuses on people with familial forms of colorectal cancer, which often develop before the age of 40. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is a rare, inherited condition that leads to the development of hundreds or thousands of adenomatous (originating in the glands) polyps in the colon and rectum, usually at a young age. Unless this condition is treated, people who have it are extremely likely to develop colorectal cancer by the time they reach age 40. Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) is another inherited form that tends to develop at a young age, often without the presence of polyps. Even though these syndromes account for just a small percentage of all cases of colorectal cancer - most develop sporadically, with no family history - they can provide important clues about the disease in general.
"One often gets a great deal of mechanical insight and clinical application in general from familial forms of cancer," says Dr. Rustgi, citing the example of research into the BRCA gene for breast cancer. "And it's easier to research familial forms because they are more exaggerated. Plus, many of the genetic changes that people acquire over time, and which lead to colorectal cancer, are similar to the genetic abnormalities that are present in the familial syndromes." Just as it's important for people to overcome their fear of or aversion to screening, they also shouldn't assume that a diagnosis of cancer means automatic colostomy. In most cases, the cancerous tissue can be removed and the colon resected - and it functions just as it did before. Unless the cancer has spread or the tumor is in an odd location, says Dr. Rustgi, "surgery often doesn't have to be as radical as people assume it will be."
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am writing on behalf of my brother. He is 58 years old and has never had a colonoscopy. My mother had breast cancer that metastasized to her colon, requiring a colostomy. She died in 1984. My father has recently been diagnosed with colon cancer detected on a colonoscopy. He only had that one because he had two episodes of bleeding. The GI physician, after performing the colonoscopy, told my two brothers that they should both have colonoscopies immediately. My older brother got a referral from his PCP to see a GI physician, had the consultation with the GI doctor, and set a date for a colonoscopy. He was contacted earlier this week and told that the insurance company is denying payment for the colonoscopy. They said they would only pay for it if there was "active bleeding." What should he do in this situation? He obviously needs the colonoscopy with such a strong family history and being 58 years old, and his PCP agreed, or he would not have referred him in the first place. What can anyone do in a situation such as this?
Thank you,
Dr. Timothy Hoops, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
Dear MB,
Coverage of colonoscopies by insurance companies has become an increasingly larger problem. Many companies are now covering "screening" colonoscopies for patients that are not above average risk for the disease. The rationale is that this procedure is more complete. It may also be safe to do this procedure once every 10 years. People who have a family history of colon cancer such as your brother have an increased risk for the development of colon cancer reaching 10 to 15% over their lifetime. Most gastroenterologists would recommend a full colonoscopy for these patients as the entire colon can be evaluated and if polyps are found, they can be removed. Alternative recommended screening methods include flexible sigmoidoscopies every 5 years and annual tests for occult blood in the stool. The opinion of many experts is that this may be a somewhat less effective method for screening these patients with an increased risk for colon cancer. Unfortunately, health care insurers use many criteria to determine how they cover certain services. Discussion of the specific issues regarding risk may cause them to change their policy for an individual. It should be stressed that any symptom such as a change in bowel habits or any rectal bleeding can then be used as a justification for the procedure. Finally, it is our hope that these policies will be changing in the near future as more public support is generated for better screening techniques.
According to James P. Stevenson, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Hematology/Oncology Division of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, "angiogenesis inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines hold promise for colorectal cancer." Examples of each that are being studied in colon cancer include;
Dr. Stevenson states that, "At this point, no one agent seems to stand out. It is likely that any of these will be more effective when combined with chemotherapy, and some drugs actually span both classes (for example, bevacizumab or anti-VEGF, which is a monoclonal antibody designed to be antiangiogenic). Results from trials of these agents in colon cancer are expected soon."
If you are being treated for colorectal cancer and you are curious about the possibility of participating in any clinical trial, speak to your oncologist.

Remind me in a week or two. As I said, a shop here in Amsterdam says they will receive some stock in a couple of weeks. I can have a look for you if you want. Not sure when they will get them though, but it's not a shop that sells their single malts by the dozens, so I might have a week or two (or maybe a lot longer!) before they are sold out.

Memories of Pearl Harbor Kept Alive
MOUNDSVILLE – William Knuth wondered in 1940 what kind of army would send a man to Hawaii, the Pearl of the Pacific, and pay him $21 each month to play bass horn just because he had done so in his high school band. It seemed too easy, too good to be true.
All that changed for the Benwood native on Dec. 7, 1941.
According to research conducted by Moundsville historian Gary Rider, Knuth had chosen to enlist in the military in 1939 after graduating from Wheeling High School and having trouble finding a decent job. While he had hoped to join either the Navy or Marines, he was turned down by both and joined the Army. He was not yet 18 years old when he was deployed, and on May 30, 1940, he boarded a U.S. Army troop ship headed for Hawaii.
After 23 days at sea, Knuth was greeted by an Army band playing "Aloha Oe" and girls in grass skirts who put leis around his neck. He then spent six weeks in boot camp at Honolulu's Fort Kamehameha, where his regiment was taught to identify deadly gases, bore sight guns, clean and disassemble rifles and slash at straw dummies with fixed bayonets.
Knuth recalled the saying, "Join the Army and Learn a Trade." It chilled him to think that he was learning a trade as he practiced "sticking and slashing" on the straw dummies, knowing the techniques were meant for men.
After completing basic training, Knuth was recruited by a band director at the fort to play the bass horn in the band. His job was to perform with the band for the troops on the drill field.
"Fort Kamehameha was a coast artillery fort and was pitifully weak, with a 3-inch gun battery and one 12-inch mortar battery," Rider wrote in his "Marshall County Patriots and Heroes." The fort was there to help protect the nearby Hickam Field base, where planes were sitting lined up outside.
It was Sunday morning a year and a half later when the attack came. Knuth was cleaning the recreation room at the base and looking forward to returning home in six months when he heard planes flying overhead. Upon hearing explosions, Knuth and the rest of the men present ran outside to investigate.
"They were caught completely by surprise," said William Knuth's son, David Knuth, executive director of Moundsville Chamber of Commerce.
By the large red disc on the low-flying planes, the men knew that they were under attack by the Japanese.
"There were no weapons or helmets at their base to protect them if they were attacked," Rider wrote.
"As I stood flattened against a concrete pillar, the breath scared out of me, the only only sounds I heard were whistling bombs and droning planes," the late William Knuth recalled in a memoir. "I had never felt such terror or such hopelessness. I thought of all the excitement I had not yet experienced in my 19 years of living. Was this it? Would I die? I had never even driven a car yet."
"Essentially, they were sitting ducks," added David Knuth. "All they could do was run for cover. The U.S. Army was there to guard the base, but that Sunday morning their guard was definitely down."
William Knuth survived the attack and went on to serve as a clerk in the message center, gradually climbing the ranks to sergeant 1st class. When the ranking sergeant was granted disability leave, Knuth was promoted to master sergeant.
Knuth returned home on a three-week leave in August, 1944. He visited friends and family and got married.
Upon returning to service, he was sent to Okinawa, an island near Japan, where he served in a special entertainment unit consisting of musicians, artists, actors and circus performers to keep spirits up as the men dug small caves into the hillsides for shelter during the nightly air raids.
After Japan surrendered in 1945, Knuth was among those discharged. He was awarded the American Defense Medal with one bronze star, as well as an Asiatic Pacific Theater Ribbon with two bronze stars and recognition for good conduct. During his five years of service, he received one minor injury when he slammed his finger in a truck bed door.
After surviving Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, and a Kamikaze attack, Knuth returned to the United States to start a new life with his wife. He got a job with Tri-State Electric, raised a family and lived to be 90 years old before dying Aug. 12.
"Dad never talked that much about when he was in the service," said David Knuth. As he grew older, William Knuth began to share his story more, but David Knuth said that his father always refused to go into any detail about the casualties of Pearl Harbor.
At first, being in the military was fun and interesting and you got to go different places, William Knuth had said in "Marshall County Patriots and Heroes." By the end of the war, he was just glad to get home safely.

I've been reading about details of Torah sofrut, and after learning about the paragraph markers peh / פ (petucha) and samekh / ס (setuma), I noticed some similarly placed shin markers (mostly at the end of a sefer), but cannot find an answer in Google searches. What does it stand for? (Example: parsha VaYechi). I'm using an electronic version from Mechon Mamre similar to Keter Yerushalayim / Aleppo Codex.

The following information is recorded on the Mechon Mamre website:
My translation:
That should answer your question, although I don't know where that tradition stems from. Obviously it's not the Aleppo Codex, since the Aleppo Codex is lacking most of the Torah (and I don't think these details were recorded prior to their being destroyed). I checked Rabbi Prof. Mordechai Breuer's Tanakh and I also checked the BHS, and neither of them recorded this. I have fascimiles of the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex, and neither record these symbols between other books in Tanakh (nor does the latter record it between Genesis and Exodus).
Finally, I looked at Yeivin's Tiberian Masorah and Tov's Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible, and they don't appear to mention it either. Regrettably, Mechon Mamre does not declare exactly which mss they are employing, save to note that they are close to the Aleppo Codex.

The ADIA is an organization that is open to all office management or clinical team members. The ADIA encourages and provides continuing education, internationally, nationally and regionally. The ADIA is a component society of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), the world's largest dental implant society
In addition to our certification programs our society has different levels of membership, i.e. Certified Implant Auxiliary, Advanced Certified Implant Auxiliary and Fellowship. The ADIA strives to develop relationships that will continue the growth of worldwide implant education for all auxiliaries.
Our mission is to establish educational criteria and training for certification and provide an organized vehicle for auxiliaries to contribute to the field of oral implantology/implant dentistry. Another goal of our association is to develop implant practices as a "team". We do this by providing high quality, cost effective education and motivating staff members to work as a team to provide the absolute best care for implant patients and make implant practices increasingly successful. We have developed and copyrighted four certification programs specifically geared to each member of the dental team (front office and coordinators, assistants, hygienists).
We have additionally created extensive training and education programs to fulfill needs for all aspects of implant therapy. Because the field of oral implantology/implant dentistry is ever changing due to advances in science and technology our association keeps its members on the cutting edge of changes that will affect their careers. We do this through yearly symposia, quarterly journals and development of chair side tools for our members to utilize in their practices.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN? As the number of implant practices in the world grows and develops, there is a need for auxiliaries to do the same. A goal of our association is to introduce implants into dental practices and increase knowledge related to implants to all members of the "team". This approach leads to increased office production and less stress in the workplace. It also serves to enhance your career and expand the scope of services and information you provide to patients.

For a romance YA novel, how explicit can it be? Are there certain descriptions or words that shouldn't be used?
There's a good thread on this over at Absolute Write - http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184551
The general consensus there seems to be that there is definitely a limit on how explicit YA sex should be. They suggest going for the more 'poetic' approach rather than an explicit or erotic one, and I think that makes sense.
ETA:I didn't see any sign of a list of 'banned' words, or anything, and I wouldn't think there would be. Context is probably going to make a lot of difference in something like this. As long as you're writing to serve the story rather than to titillate, I think you'll be fine. If editors don't like something specific, they can let you know. (apparently one writer's editor insisted that in YA sex, there must ALWAYS be mention of a condom.)
There is no hard set rule, and the boundaries are constantly expanding. Tender Morsels deals with incest, molestation, gang rape, abortions, and many other extremely adult issues. But it does so with implications and metaphors more often than gritty details (don't get me wrong, the book is amazing).
So many of the issues could be glossed over by a reader who does not have a seed of awareness towards them. But one who is "ready" to meet or beginning to grasp the issue will be able read between the lines.
I've published quite a few novels for younger readers but my Y/A novel Gobshite, despite being enjoyed and even admired by most of the editors who read it, was declared too near the knuckle for publication -however, it did get me the contact I needed to publish my first series for younger readers, Sebastian Darke.

When Harrison Central and Buckeye Local get together there's no added incentive required.
But, there's plenty of extras on the line outside of just borderline bragging rights when the two clash in Cadiz Friday night.
On top of the VALES Trophy, which is in its second year, the Huskies (6-3) need a win over the Panthers if they wish to extend their season into Week 11 for just the second time in school history.
"You really can't focus on anything except winning this game," said Huskies' head coach Justin Kropka. "It's so important for our seniors to go out with a win in their final regular season game."
On top of all the above, the Panthers have never lost to the Huskies in their four previous meetings, which doesn't sit too well with the folks of Harrison County.
"We've never beaten them; we've never had the VALES Trophy, so a lot of firsts can happen if we take care of business Friday night," Kropka said. "We're really just focused on Buckeye Local."
The Panthers have been mathematically eliminated from the playoff chase at 4-5, but rookie head coach Phil Pest is looking to send his senior class out with a victory, retain VALES and finish with a .500 record.
"It's been an interesting, but good year," Pest said. "We'd love to finish the season at .500 and historically, we've played Harrison Central very well in very good games that have come down to the last few plays the last couple of meetings. This is it for our seniors, and it'll be important to them and we're going to come looking to win."
In today's society, it's extremely tough to keep the playoff scenarios out of the limelight. The Huskies are currently sitting in seventh in the Division IV, Region 15 computer rankings and if the tournament started this week it would mean a lengthy road trip to Ironton.
"If the kids want to talk about (the playoffs), I'm fine with it," Kropka said. "I don't think it adds any pressure or anything. These kids want to win regardless. If it's talked about, I don't shy away from it. Reaching the playoffs has been our goal, and I don't think you should be shy about your goals."
Don't think for a minute that Buckeye Local doesn't know what's on the line for Harrison Central.
"This is our playoff game," Pest continued. "It's an important game and we want to get another win. It's important for our seniors to end with another win."
The Huskies got back on track after dropping back-to-back contests last week with a win at Union Local.
For Harrison Central, it starts with the ground attack and more specifically senior tailback Maurtice Hython, who leads the Ohio Valley in rushing with 1,647 yards and 17 touchdowns on 208 carries. Hython has more than 4,600 yards in his career for the Huskies.
Senior quarterback Ra'shaen Mitchell has been superb this season. He's completed 71-of-1,320 yards and 13 touchdowns, while throwing just five interceptions.
Nate Olmstead is the Huskies' primary passing target. He's caught 24 balls for 561 yards and seven touchdowns. Senior standout Nick Pelegreen has made 16 receptions for 289 yards and two scores from his tight end spot. Josh Moore has made 15 catches.
"We have a number of plans going into the game and part of it is controlling the ball more because our defense has been on the field too much," Pest said. "Hython is a good runner who will probably get 25 or 30 carries and we're preparing for it."
The Panthers' offense is triggered by Nathan Kirk, who has passed for 775 yards and six touchdowns. He's thrown 14 interceptions, however.
The Buckeye Local ground game is led by Austin Marshall with 417 yards and three scores. Andy Stock has added 259 yards.
In the passing game, Shane Duncan has been the top option. He's made only 20 catches, but has 505 yards and four scores.
"Buckeye has a large senior class and they play extremely hard," Kropka said. "What they do, they do well. They're capable of beating anyone in the league on any night. We're going into this with the attitude that we're the underdog because I don't know how you can be the favorite if you've never beaten a team."
Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.

text: I don't know why I keep doing it, but I was asked again to upload a tutorial on yet another Warrior Cats character. Today I will be showing you "how to draw Yellowfang", step by step. Yellowfang has a very beat up looking appearance which is mainly due to many battles that she had been in. She is described as being a very scrawny cat with a coat that is tattered. Her dark appearance makes her look even more intimidating, and if I where to see this cat in an alley somewhere, I would never think in a million years that it is female. There is many people who say that her eyes are amber, but then again some also say that they are yellow. I myself don't know so I will go with whatever looks better. She does have a dark, pale gray colored tiger cat with a long coat. The long coat probably comes from her heritage because it's believed that she has Persian blood running through her veins. Anyways, she was a lot of fun to recreate into an art lesson, and if you're one of the many hundreds of people that are fans of Warrior Cats, you should also enjoy drawing Yellowfang. I will be back a bit later with some more artistic fun so stay tuned in!

Newley Ryan Broughton of Mesa pleads not guilty in school assault case
MESA, AZ - A Mesa man is denying accusations that he assaulted three teachers and the principal at his son's elementary school.
Court records show 36-year-old Newley Ryan Broughton pleaded not guilty to counts of aggravated assault and interference with an educational institution during his arraignment Wednesday.
Broughton was arrested in January after he tried to pick up his 5-year-old son at Madison Elementary despite a court order.
The order stemmed from a joint custody agreement with his ex-girlfriend that limited Broughton to picking his son up on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Broughton became belligerent when school officials told him he wasn't allowed to take his son.
Broughton was later arrested at his home and the kindergartener was released to his mother.
Broughton maintains that he never touched any of the school officials.

How to manage filtering by MAC in Ubuntu?
Ubuntu DHCP is configured and working (network
a) Laptop 1 is set in configuration on Ubuntu as static IP
Laptop 1 is configured for automatic IP and when is connected to server everything works.
I'm taking laptop 2 which is configured as static IP
192.168.1.10and his configuration is not set in Ubuntu
After laptop 2 is connected internet working.
It is possible to do MAC filtering which disallow to connect PCs with address IP set as static but MAC address is not configured in Ubuntu (something like: intruder in network)?
