JOHNSTOWN - The city has a new contract with its police union that calls for 2.7 percent average annual pay raises through 2016.
The city's last contract with the 22-member Johnstown Police Benevolent Association expired Dec. 31, 2009. But officials from both parties have worked out a new deal that was ratified by the Common Council on Monday at City Hall.
Action on the pact followed a 15-minute, closed-door executive session to open the council's regular meeting.

"I personally think this is a contract that is fair to the employees and the community," Mayor Sarah Slingerland said.
The new contract had already been agreed to by the PBA. Officer Eric Johnson, union president, couldn't be reached for comment this morning.
Second Ward Councilman Chris Foss read the resolution noting the new contract and its accompanying memorandum of agreement that was hammered out. He said the agreement runs about seven years and is retroactive to 2010.
Slingerland said the fact it is still a long-term deal that now runs until 2016 is a "real plus" for the city. The average hike in wages is about 2.7 percent during the length of the contract, the mayor noted. She said a few police officers made changes in their health insurance coverage, which assisted in the strengthening of the fiscal situation involving the contract.
The mayor indicated City Treasurer Michael Gifford feels the new PBA contract is "fiscally manageable."
Slingerland thanked the PBA negotiating team, Gifford, and city labor attorney Elayne Gold for getting the deal done.
Talks between the city and the PBA had been at impasse. Both sides had met with a state Public Employment Relations Board-assigned mediator in December, and both sides at the time said talks went well.
The last three-year contract between the city and the PBA was approved in September 2009, but it was retroactive to 2007 and only lasted until the end of 2009. Since then, talks were delayed and impasse was declared. The last contract provided officers annual raises of 3 percent to 3.5 percent.
A 2 percent wage increase for union personnel in the city was built into the adopted 2013 city budget.

MLB teams get to test out a lot of new things during spring training. It is their first chance to see the players that they signed and traded for play in their uniform. They also give a number of prospects a chance to prove what they can do right alongside the big league talent.
And teams wear different uniform combinations than they do during the regular season. For some teams, these uniforms look better than the ones that they wear for 162 games a year.

Grand Haven native and current Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma has been named the coach of the USA hockey team for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, according to a published report.
USA TODAY reports that Bylsma will coach the team while the Nashville Predators' David Poile will serve as the team's general manager. Pittsburgh's Ray Shero will serve as assistant general manager and Anaheim Duck's consultant Brian Burke will be the director of player development, according to the story.
The story, which says Bylsma was chosen over candidates Peter Laviolette of Philadelphia and the Vancouver Canucks' John Tortorella, cites two sources; there won't be an official announcement until Saturday in New York.
Team USA had to settle for a Silver Medal in the 2010 Games.
Bylsma is a Western Michigan Christian grad who led the Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup title. When he earned his 200th win in April, he made history by becoming the NHL coach who reached that milestone the fastest.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Plenty has already been written about the turnaround Jay Jacobs has engineered at Auburn over the past 18 months, hiring Gus Malzahn, Sunny Golloway and Clint Myers in short order.
In the eyes of Auburn fans, hiring Bruce Pearl to turn around the basketball program may have been Jacobs' final masterstroke.
Only 18 months ago, an embattled Jacobs was the target of almost as much fan criticism as former Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. Now, fans are responding with praise on Jacobs' Twitter account, on social media and in person.
"I thought he got off to a poor start to start with," Opelika's Benny Smith said. "The last year, you can't argue with his choices. No one can."
With the exception of Malzahn, who only had one year of head-coaching experience when he was hired at Auburn -- albeit a great reputation as an offensive mind -- Jacobs has targeted coaches with established resumes.
Auburn's fan base has rallied behind those hires.
"I think he's knocked it out of the park," Rusty Palmer, a second-generation Auburn graduate from Birmingham, said. "Hiring guys that have had success at this level before, with Gus, the softball coach, the baseball coach."
In each coaching change, Jacobs has cited winning as his chief goal.
And the refrain about his negotiating style has stayed the same, too.
"I wasn't going to take no for an answer," Jacobs said. "Once I found out Bruce was interested, I just wasn't going to let him go."
Auburn's fan base has noted the difference.
In a little more than two years, Auburn has changed its football coach, baseball coach, softball coach, women's basketball coach and now the men's basketball coach.
Eighteen months ago, those impending changes left Jacobs' approval rating by the fans at its lowest point.
His hires have turned around the perception.
"The last four have been big," Blake Freeman, a junior at Auburn, said. "You know, he was kind of shaky in a lot of people's minds, but I couldn't be higher on him right now. He's done a great job getting these big names into the school."

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- The Alabama Senate today gave final passage to a bill to allow the city of Prattville to authorize the sale of draft beer.
The bill, by Rep. Paul Beckman, R-Prattville, had passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 31-0 on Feb. 26.
The Prattville City Council could authorize draft beer sales by resolution or ordinance. But the bill says keg beer could not be sold for off-premises consumption.
The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 8-1 with 10 abstentions.

Jeff George has one of the strongest arms ever. When moss is spreading the field it's pretty easy to be open.
Maybe I am biased because of what Randy did to Dallas.
Again, Carter was dominant even before Moss. Even more so considering he didn't have to share as much. The fact he stayed relevant at an old age and adjusted is more credit to how great he was. And please, stop implying George was anything less than a complete bust. Doesn't matter how strong an arm he had when he was an egomaniac and team-cancer. Delhomme over him every day.The most notable thing about CC is how good of a TD receiver he was. Besides Jerry Rice and perhaps Michael Irvin, he's the one guy I'd throw the ball to for 6, awesome route-runner and legendary hands.

PITTSFIELD -- A squirrel was the culprit behind Sunday afternoon's power outage that affected 600 customers of Western Massachusetts Electric Co., utility officials said.
WMECO reported the outage occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Westwood Road, between Barker Road and West Housatonic Street. Spokeswoman Katie Blint said the squirrel caused a transformer on a utility pole to malfunction, resulting in electrical wires snapping off several poles.
No one was injured.
Electric service was restored to 320 homes and businesses, include The Berkshire Eagle, shortly after 5 p.m. About an hour later, all but 17 of the remaining 280 WMECO customers were back on line.
Blint said utility crews needed to repair the extensive damage to the wiring along Westwood Road. She expected full power restoration by late Sunday night.
The outage didn't delay the publication of The Eagle's newspaper for today.

Been following the guy discussion with interest. Point of information: For us benighted folk outside the USA, what is "Phillystran"? To continue: I have had a lifelong interest in both sailing and amateur radio. One thing they have in common is that products sold in these markets are vastly overpriced compared with comparable products marketed for other consumers. (An exception might be ham transceivers, but that is another story.) My mind boggles when I hear $5 US ea for what I presume to be compression (egg) insulators to break guys in relatively modest service. I can buy whole bags full of electric fence insulators on the expensive ZL market for $5 US. I do not have the numbers on them, but would be surprised if they failed in service. They have never looked like doing so for me. The same thing goes for thimbles, shackles, rigging screws etc if you buy them from farm or industrial suppliers rather than marine or radio companies. For smaller installations plain fence wire with ratchet tensioners does a great job for guys and costs peanuts. If Phillystran is Kevlar, then hunt around commercial fishing boat suppliers. You might go into shock when you find how cheap these guys sell it. I read the QSTs of the 1930s and 1950s and marvel at how things have changed in the USA. By the way, when you find a way of terminating Kevlar without writing off most of its strength and weight advantage let us know. This will surely help us hang on to the America's Cup for another decade or two. 73 Baz end Barry Kirkwood PhD ZL1DD Signal Hill Homestay 66 Cory Road Palm Beach Waiheke Island 1240 NEW ZEALAND www.waiheke.co.nz/signal.htm List Sponsor: Are you thinking about installing a tower this summer?

Unexpected donation puts a shine on this year's big Rotary auction
One year ago, Kelly MacDonald bought a truck for her son — a classic 1979 Ford F150.
It was a great first car, and an all-around fun ride for the teenager. The neighbors even envied it.
"It's a very cool truck," MacDonald said.
It's so cool that MacDonald wants to get rid of it.
The truck itself is in excellent working condition. It was purchased at last year's Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction, and for a pretty sweet price. Over the year the MacDonald's used the truck to help with the construction of their home.
Now, they have little use for it, but want it to still do some good.
This year the MacDonald's want to continue supporting the Rotary by donating it once more to help raise money for the island club.
This year's auction will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, June 30.
The family could have sold it, they even had offers from a neighbor who admired the truck over the past year. But they felt it could do more good at the auction.
"We could sell it — our neighbor wanted to buy it — but I just think that all the work Rotary does for Bainbridge Island is so nice," MacDonald said. "We felt the better community thing to do would be to give it to the Rotary."
Each year the Bainbridge Island Rotary Club hold its auction at Woodward Middle School. This year will be the 52nd one in the club's history.
The extensive rummage sale raises money for the Rotary's work and community service.
The auction is so successful that per capita, the Rotary raises more money than any other club in the country, according to Jim Chapel, a past Rotary president and an active island Rotarian.
It is the only fundraising event the Rotary holds. Last year, the auction raised more than $350,000.
Don't boil this auction down to a nice afternoon rummaging through junk. The auction is so intense it requires a starting line. And when the auction opens, hordes of people frantically fan out through the middle school.
It's half garage sale, and half scrum.
"The rotary auction is one of the biggest garage sales and auctions west of the Mississippi," Chapel said. "(It's) one of the largest social events on the island."
Items range from furniture to electronics to vehicles such as the truck that the MacDonald's are cycling back into the cause.
The Rotary will be accepting donations for the auction June 22-27, and currently seeks volunteers to help organize it. Donations can be made at the club's facility at 9100 Sportsman Club Road. Islanders can also call 206-842-9111 for more information.
Those who can't wait can pay $1 to get a sneak peak the night before the auction to see what's up for grabs this year.

The Tewksbury Inn. 55 Main St., Oldwick. Lunch: Noon-4:30 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays, noon-4 p.m. Sundays. Dinner: 5:30-10 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, 5:30-10:30 p.m. Saturdays, 4:30-9 p.m. Sundays. Full bar. Major credit cards. Neat casual dress. Wheelchair accessible. Reservations recommended: (908) 439-2641. thetewksburyinn.com. TWO AND A HALF STARS
The Tewksbury Inn's perennial charm quotient has been upgraded by a decor redo following a change of ownership. The former stagecoach stop now offers a main dining room that is striking in paisley, with a predominance of red to match the chairs.
The capacious barroom on the other side of the entry hall is spiffier than it used to be, but still leaning more toward plain than fancy. Large green umbrellas shade the outdoor dining area, a lively spot during the warm weather months.
What remains is the chef, Chris Quintile, a real star in the kitchen. A former sous chef at the inn who moved to Chicago in 1998 and became executive chef at the W Hotel there, Quintile returned to his culinary roots five years ago, this time as executive chef.
His artistry is evident in the luminous details that make his cooking shine. Crispy duck confit ($13.50), for instance, arrives atop a pedestal of creme brulee French toast and caramelized pineapple. You might think that the final touch of star anise-infused truffle honey would make this dish too sweet, but the tart essence of the pineapple keeps the balance. And needless to say, the duck is perfect on its own.
A walnut, date and cucumber salad with a lemon/olive oil emulsion makes beautifully grilled Atlantic salmon ($27) even more appealing. The chef has a special touch with everything, but seafood particularly is exceptional here. Wheatberry salad and shaved summer truffles add grace to the pan-seared sea scallops ($30), while a fine piece of honey-glazed Chatham cod ($28) gets a boost from the judicious addition of bacon morsels resting on a roesti potato (a refined potato pancake).
That is not to say meat is neglected. Consider, for instance, the benefits of hand-cut rosemary pasta and dried apricots to pique interest in the braised lamb shoulder appetizer ($14).
The distinctive features that enhance nearly every dish make deciding what to order delightfully difficult. Those who go for lavish may opt to start by ordering butter-poached lobster ($16) with a toasted brioche. For something simpler, there's always the crock of French onion soup ($7.50) or grilled asparagus and prosciutto ($12).
Among the entrees, folks seeking a splurge can try the filet mignon au poivre ($33) with an herbed risotto cake and brandy cream sauce. At the other end of the scale is the simple nicely browned bistro chicken ($20) atop wilted spinach with olive oil whipped potatoes.
The more you have to spend on a bottle of wine, the happier you'll be. At the lower end of the scale there are several options for $29 and $30, but the real selection is higher. If you're on a budget, it might be best to content yourself with wine by the glass, which starts at $6.25 for Vigneti Del Sole Pinot Grigio or $6.75 for the Lawson Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon. There are a variety of beers on draft (pilsner $3.50, pint $5.75) such as Smithwick's Irish Ale and Bass Ale, and many more on tap.
Cocktails include the $6.50 Dark and Stormy, a mix of rum and ginger beer. It's refreshing to find cocktails in a reasonable range at a time when $10, $11, $12 (and up) cocktails seem to be the across-the-board norm elsewhere.
Desserts run the gamut from commercial sorbet and ice cream ($6.50) through an old-fashioned banana split ($8.50) to the type of selections one would expect following the exciting appetizers and entrees. There are several classics, including creme brulee ($7.50) and a traditional strawberry shortcake ($8.50) with mounds of fresh whipped cream. Creative choices include the Key lime pie ($7.50), more accurately a Key lime dome. This rounded mound of goodness is given the Quintile treatment with a ginger/mint syrup and lime zest for a refreshing take on a particular favorite of mine.
There's a brown butter and hazelnut financier ($9), a firm cake that comes with vanilla ice cream and Myers's dark rum sauce. I would have liked a few more spoonfuls of the latter; its presence was barely apparent. Even more caloric is the milk chocolate mousse cake ($8.50) with more of that fresh whipped cream and raspberries.
The Tewks is wildly popular on weekends, so those without reservations will find themselves facing a long wait if they want to stay. Those who do reserve should be sure to mention whether they want the main dining room, barroom or the outdoor garden area, a peaceful treat because it's not adjacent to the street. There are no worries involving the latter if it rains, because an upstairs room is set aside to host the al fresco diners should the skies open.
However, folks who don't specify a dining destination (and we weren't asked about that when we made our reservation) might find it's potluck as to where they sit. The barroom, when full, is quite noisy, but you can get a burger there (as well as outside) if that's your pleasure. The atmosphere in the main dining room (no burgers) is more in keeping with the high style of the cuisine.
Service is strained when all the tables are full, and it's not as polished as the food. Our distracted server did his best while obviously under the gun, though we had to ask several times for water refills. While specials were printed out, the well-prepared risotto of the day had no price listed. When we requested it, he gave us a number that turned out to be $3.50 lower than the actual $12 cost. There were lags between courses that made for a long evening. The place was packed, so the kitchen had to be running at capacity.
For the optimum experience at the inn, pick a quiet weeknight. The food is worth a trip no matter when you go, though, and it's always fun to take a ride to bucolic Oldwick.

Hello Everyone,
I have been having a look through many posts and researching about US Airways departure and arrival times at LGW for a while now but still there are some things that puzzle me about their former services at LGW. From a peak in the Summer of 2002, there was 4 services per day; 2 x PHL, 1 x CLT and 1 x PIT. This then reduced to 3 services per day after that, as one of the Philadelphia routes ended. Now there are many different departure times I've seen for these flights except one which I always see the same times; Pittsburgh - US740 arrives Gatwick 05:55 and US741 which departs Gatwick at 11:15. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
However, the Philadelphia flights are not easy to understand. I've seen LGW-PHL departure times such as 11:30, 11:45, 12:15, 12:30, 14:25, 14:45 and 14:55. This really confuses me, were these two different flights and in different years or where the departure times changed alot?
US098 from Philadelphia, it seems, was always scheduled to arrive at Gatwick also at 05:55, so if the PHL and PIT flights arrive at 05:55 and the departure times for the PHL and PIT flights are 11:15 onwards, that's a ground time of
5 hours or more at Gatwick on a daily basis. If this is correct, how could US Airways afford to keep these aircraft on the ground for so long at LGW and why did they need to spend that long at LGW? It must have
cost US Airways and LGW alot of money if they are occupying gates for so long?
I would appreciate any feedback about this and also hopefully some answers to my questions.
Thank you for your time.

More farmers, more market
Wednesday afternoon marks the debut of midweek food and art fare.
No more need to ration out your favorite salad mix to make it last until Saturday.
Now you can stop in at the midweek Bainbridge Island Farmers Market, which has its inaugural run from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday at the plaza by City Hall.
Consumers have been asking for it, market manager Susan Vanderwey said. Some people also have trouble getting there on Saturday because of kids sports activities.
After feeding your stomach, you might feed your soul up the tree-lined path, entering from behind City Hall, which leads to the back yard of Oil & Water Art Supply on Madison Avenue.
There, artists will exhibit their work at the Artists Market.
The farmers and artists markets will run every Wednesday, 4-7 p.m., from June 22 through Sept. 15, coinciding with peak harvest season.
When somethings ripe, it needs to be picked, Vanderwey said, so a midweek market helps the farmers in their harvest. There will be less waste and spoilage.
Although the idea of a midweek market had been kicked around for a couple of years, Vanderwey found an appropriate spot hard to come by.
But then the Mayor (Darlene Kordonowy) came though and said, It needs to be here (City Hall plaza), Vanderwey said.
And with an adjusting of hours to start at 4 p.m., when most city employees leave, the market was set to start. Initially about 10-12 booths are expected at the Wednesday market.
The idea for an artists market came separately from the Bainbridge Island Arts and Humanities Council-sponsored Artists Roundtable, but has joined forces as an extension to the midweek market.
Co-sponsored by BIAHC, the artists market is to be a place for emerging artists, or those not represented by a gallery, to show off their work, Oil and Water co-owner Richard Nelson said.
He volunteered the grassy back yard behind his store because, being an artist himself, he knows how hard it can be for an artist to find places to exhibit work.
The space will be offered to artists for free on a first-come basis, much in the same vein as festival seating at a concert.
Last Thursday, it was still too early to know what artists will come, but Nelson said there will be live music, and students from the Art Center are planning to show their work.
We want to make this a happening thing, Nelson said.

Here, they mix
Artists interested in joining the Wednesday artists market can call Oil and Water Art Supply at 842-0477. Space will be available on a first-come basis.

Cpl. Brown was injured after his motorcycle was struck by a car while he was working a funeral procession on Sept. 11, 2010. Then the ambulance transporting him was in another accident on his way to the hospital. He has been in critical condition at Baptist South since.
WSFA reports that the Brown family is suing the city, citing that Cpl. Brown should be able to collect workers' compensation, even though he was considered to be "off duty" at the time of the accidents.
Mayor Todd Strange said in a Montgomery Advertiser report today that the city will not grant Cpl. Brown any workers' compensation because he was not
"on-duty," but was under private contract with the funeral home where he was running the procession.

And patriotic garlands draped along the Mexican Popsicle and taco booth -- which was next to the Salvadoran pupusa table, which was next to the Hawaiian plate lunch stand and down the way from the Job's Daughters' cotton candy booth -- bobbed up and down in the light summer breeze.
This was a July 4 celebration, small-town style, where neighbors outdid one another in patriotic dress, local residents' bands played in the gazebo and parking was plentiful and free.
The General Canby Day festival is "a real Americana kind of thing," said Colarchik, who had already hit the pancake breakfast with her granddaughter and her 1-year-old grandson, Trenton. It's a good place to remind you that "we live in the best place in the world. We do have freedoms and I like to celebrate that."
For Ricardo Frias, 10, the best part of July 4 festivities comes last -- the fireworks. But he, his mother, Eunice Urrutia, and his 8-month-old baby sister, Camilla, were listening to local bands' music on the grassy lawn of Canby's Wait Park, where the family has come to celebrate the holiday for years.
Urrutia, a legal resident who came to the United States more than a decade ago to work, reflected on the significance of the holiday to her. She said she immigrated to the country looking for a better life than she could live in Mexico and found that here. "Oregon is very beautiful," she said.For Jim Fourtner, who was celebrating Independence Day with his wife, his sister and mother, the day is about more than gathering with family.
"The Fourth means a lot to me," said Fourtner, who lives in the Hubbard area. "I have a deep love and appreciation for not only this country but also the price people paid to give birth to this country."
While the signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged their "lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor," too many people now seem to have a "real strong sense of entitlement" and are unwilling to make personal sacrifices, Fourtner said.
One man, wearing his military uniform and sitting in a wheelchair adorned with an American flag, similarly sought to share his message of patriotism. He could not speak, explaining with a pen on a notepad that he had an injury to his vocal cords. A former Marine and Vietnam War-era veteran, the man who wrote that his name is Joe Christian America described himself as a "conscientious patriot."
"We need a strong military," he wrote, and with a reference to Theodore Roosevelt, added, "Talk softly and carry a big stick."


text: I recently bought a nice Star BM 9mm. I have another one that I am planning to keep as a parts gun. The one I just bought is mechanically superior to the first one but the finish leaves a lot to be desired. Now the tricky part, what finish to use when I refinish it? I saw some pics of a guys BM that was hard chromed and it looked awesome. On the other hand a nice blueing is a favorite too There are also some new finishes like Duracoat, Ceraguard, and Gunkote on the market too. What do you think? Can anyone recommend a good shop to refinish it?

SPRINGFIELD –Local political leaders invoked the spirit of the late President John F. Kennedy during a ceremony at the Eternal Flame at Forest Park Thursday to mark the 49th anniversary of his assassination.
About 50 people turned out for the event under crisp, sunny skies. It was the same sort of weather New England had on that fateful day Nov. 22, 1963, former Mayor Charles V. Ryan recalled.
Ryan was responsible for the creation of the memorial, which was erected in 1964. The former mayor spoke fondly of how the Kennedy administration came to be called "Camelot" after the president's death.
"We will rejoice in it and believe in it as long as we live," Ryan said.
Kennedy, the nation's 35th president, was shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Although Kennedy was president for only three years, his legacy has inspired generations of Americans to do public service.
The memorial in Forest Park includes a bronze plaque engraved with the famous Kennedy words "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."
Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said, "When you think of President Kennedy you think of all the individuals who were inspired by him. He helped individuals realize they wanted to give back....He helped inspire many other leaders to move this country forward."
U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, saluted Kennedy's famous, dry wit.
"He had the ability to turn around a sentence in 30 seconds," Neal said.
Former Democrat state Rep. Raymond Jordan called Kennedy "a great American who was larger than life."
He praised Kennedy for working to ensure all Americans equal access to the schools, housing and the polls. Jordan spoke warmly of Kennedy's work initiating the Voting Rights Act, calling him a man who was "divinely intended, a very special person."

By ROBERT LESLIE PALMER
Every two years, it seems the chasm between "red states" and "blue states" widens. The tolerant and temperate discussion of the past has increasingly yielded to "gotcha" sound bites and ad hominem attacks. Indeed, it now appears that we can no longer simply differ with our neighbors without the risk of being branded "un-American."
For many on the right, a person is a "real American" only if he or she is inclined to vote Republican, and no one who works, achieves or believes in God could possibly hold liberal views. In short, all Democrats are communists.
For many on the left, a person is "intelligent" only if he or she is inclined to vote Democratic, and no one concerned about the working man, the environment or peace could possibly hold conservative views. In short, all Republicans are Nazis.
The irony, of course, is that this kind of intolerance is precisely what our forebears detested most about both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
At the same time, we are increasingly assaulted by viral e-mails of uncertain origin, each of which claims to reveal startling "facts" about some prominent politician. False viral e-mails have claimed President Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim and that he was not born in the United States. Other false viral e-mails have claimed Sarah Palin banned a long list of books from the Wasilla public libraries and that the paternity of her daughter's baby was uncertain.
What has happened to this country, and why can't we keep our public discourse more civil? The answer to this question requires humility and introspection, for the answer implicates all of us. Liberty requires hard work, and every right we hold sacred bears with it a corresponding responsibility. The right to trial by jury requires citizens to sit on juries. The right to vote requires citizens to educate themselves about pertinent issues. And the right to free speech bears with it the obligation to listen.
A Native American proverb warns, "Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf." When we focus so intently on what we have to say, we fail to hear our neighbors, and thereby miss their valuable insights. We do this because we have grown arrogant, for we no longer possess the humility to acknowledge even the possibility that our grasp on truth is imperfect, or that our neighbors might actually know something we do not.
In his famous poem, "The Blind Men and the Elephant," John Godfrey Saxe tells of six blind men who went to "see" an elephant. In examining the elephant, each man touched only one part, but the six nevertheless "disputed loud and long," and even though "each was partly right, all were in the wrong." The poem concludes that disputants often "rail on in utter ignorance of what each other mean and prate about an elephant not one of them has seen!"
If I truly value my First Amendment right to free speech, I must recognize that I am not the only person with insight, and that I might very well be wrong about some of my beliefs. If I truly want to honor the First Amendment, I will honor my neighbor's right to free speech, and I will listen to what he has to say. And even if I still disagree, I will not disparage his character or use hateful hyperbole to describe his position.
One of America's most famous and beloved painters, Norman Rockwell, understood this important principle when he set out to depict the freedom of speech in a painting. Using as his backdrop a simple New England town hall meeting, Rockwell portrayed a citizen standing and speaking his opinion. But the speaker is not the sole focal point of the painting. Two other men seated on either side of the speaker are also focal points, for they are attentively and respectfully listening to their neighbor.
Perhaps most moving is the fact the speaker wears the attire of a working man, and the men who are listening wear business suits, clearly identifying them as men of differing backgrounds and probably
vastly divergent viewpoints. This, then, is the brilliance of Rockwell's painting: He clearly understood that freedom of speech is meaningless unless each of us honors our neighbor's right to hold a differing opinion.
Real Americans are neither conservative nor liberal, neither Republican nor Democrat. Real Americans so love their liberties that they honor their corresponding duties.
Real Americans listen.

While schools are quietly gearing up for the beginning of a new school year, many are also in the midst of settling new contracts between the board of education and the teachers union.
Nine districts in Gloucester County currently have teachers unions working under expired contracts, including Clayton, Deptford Township, Gloucester County Special Services, Gloucester County Vocational, Harrison Township, Monroe Township, Paulsboro, Wenonah and West Deptford Township.
They join more than 150 districts statewide that are entering the new school year without a new contract, said Frank Belluscio, deputy executive director of the New Jersey School Boards Association.
And in the summer months, when many of the negotiators or board members have varying vacations or are busy getting things ready for the new year, contract talks slow down significantly.
"Like many other things, the process slows down during the summer," Belluscio said.
It's in June, September and December that most settlements are completed, and having nine districts working under expired contracts isn't out of the ordinary, he added.
"Those are basically when you see the most of contract settlement. It's not unusual for there to be more than 150 districts statewide beginning the new school year without a new contract in place," Belluscio said.
After starting three school years under an expired contract, Washington Township's school district has finally put its contentious years of negotiations behind them when the board of education voted to ratify a new contract with the Washington Township Education Association in June. The two, three-year contracts cover from 2010 when the previous contract expired to 2016 and include an average salary increase of 2.416 percent.
Board of Education President Kurt Snyder said that number is just below or in line with county averages, which ranged from 2.41 to 2.48 for salary increases in those years.
Other local towns are hoping their negotiations don't stretch on as long as Washington Township's, which was one of only three districts in the state and the only in South Jersey to be in its third year working under an expired contract.
Deptford has been in negotiations for the past year after its previous contract expired in July 2012.
Since the beginning of this year, the Deptford Education Association has had a strong showing at board of education meetings, stressing its dedication to the district and willingness to work with the board.
"It's not like this is unprecedented, but we'd like to move forward as soon as possible," Graham Hall, president of the DEA, said in February. "We want to try and hammer out a deal as soon as we can — a fair and equitable deal that both the association and the community can live with."
While there may be nine districts likely starting the school year without new contracts, Belluscio said that number may drop by the end of the calendar year.
"You do see a large number in September, and by December you see that number reduced by quite a bit," he said.
A request for comment from the New Jersey Education Association was not returned.

Netflix denies BlackBerry devices, sticks with PS Vita
This week the folks at Netflix have made it clear that they have no current plans to release a Netflix app to BlackBerry. At the same time, the brand new portable gaming system known as the PS Vita, aka PlayStation Vita, has received a 1.0 version of the application in the PlayStation Store. This set of moves makes it clear which groups Netflix, a giant in the streaming video business today, has faith in for the near and extended future, and spells bad news for RIM whose struggling mobile platform BlackBerry is at its worst sales point in several years.

For sports fans - especially Southern college football fans - the dog days of summer arrive more than a month early. Except for the NBA draft and some hard-hitting headlines from off the field, June and July are dry times once the NBA Finals conclude.
Maybe that's what makes preseason college football magazines all the more appealing this time of year. They're a bridge to the upcoming football season and a welcome diversion to the boredom of summer.
Usually, they offer diverse opinions on who'll be on top when we get to December. Not this year, though. And if you're an LSU or Tulane fan, don't look for a lot of love from the preseason publications.
You'll be seeing a lot of red this year at the magazine stand. That's because most preseason magazines - in fact all five that we sampled - pick Alabama to win its third straight national title in this, the final year of the BCS.
Four of the five also like the Crimson Tide to meet Ohio State in the BCS National Championship, set for Jan. 6, 2014, in Pasadena, Calif.
LSU, which was trumpeted as a top team by the preseason prognosticators in 2013, has fallen significantly this year. Most magazines have the Tigers ranked in the 10-20 range. Only Lindy's Sports has LSU in the top 10, at No. 8.
Tulane finds itself again in triple digits in most of the magazines. They have the Green Wave among the worst teams in the nation in the 100s.
Phil Steele's College Football Preview does show Tulane some respect. It predicts the Green Wave will be the eighth most improved team in the nation this year. But in its power rankings, Tulane is still penciled in at 97th.
The magazines think the Tigers could find redemption in the hiring of Cam Cameron as offensive coordinator. They think he'll be the catalyst for senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger to improve this season.
And though the schedule is tough, the inexperienced Tigers have a fairly easy beginning. They open with TCU on Aug. 31 in Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. But after that, it's UAB, Kent State and Auburn before traveling to Georgia on Sept. 28. That, the magazines note, could be key for LSU getting off to a good start.
For Tulane, the magazines don't offer much hope. Most pick the Green Wave to finish in the lower half of Conference USA West, fifth or sixth in most cases. Athlon quoted an anonymous Conference USA assistant coach saying, "They (Tulane) just weren't very good and they have a tough time recruiting. They have to fight a lot of schools there for kids in that area.''
As bleak as most of the magazines sound, Phil Steele thinks the Wave will be better, finish third in C-USA West and become bowl eligible. The magazine thinks Wave coach Curtis Johnson, headed into his second season, has upgraded recruiting and the schedule is a bit more manageable this season.
As for the rest of the state's FBS teams, most magazines have the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and UL-Monroe among the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference. Athlon and Phil Steele like the Ragin' Cajuns to win the conference and Lindy's picks ULM to take the league.
Louisiana Tech, which lost the majority of its high-octane offense to graduation along with its head coach, Sonny Dykes, who left to become the head coach at California. The Bulldogs move to Conference USA this season from the WAC and are picked to finish third or fourth in the C-USA West.
As for the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the preseason magazines offer some appetizing matchups in the final BCS season. The Sporting News likes South Carolina to meet Notre Dame while Phil Steele has the Irish coming here against Georgia.
But, one caveat, most of the magazines think Boise State is headed for a stellar season that will put it in the BCS mix. And that could alter who gets picked for the BCS bowls.

ARAB, AL -- The government accused a north Alabama landlord of illegally discriminating against a white family by cutting off water to their mobile home after a black person spent the night there.
A complaint filed by the U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development said Phillip Maze, 59, violated the family's rights.
Maze, of Arab, denied violating anyone's rights and said the government was exceeding its power with the claim.
In an interview with The Birmingham News, Maze said he cut off water to the home and told the family to move out because three additional people had moved in, the home was being trashed, and rent was not being paid.
According to a HUD complaint issued Dec. 17, Maze told a HUD investigator, "I do not have any blacks on my property and I am aware that we have a biracial president, but no federal law will make me rent to anyone I do not want to."

Heart health: 6 common questions about blood pressure and cholesterol
By Glenn Bean
MultiCare Health System
Cholesterol and blood pressure play a major role in the overall health of our heart. High blood pressure and poor cholesterol numbers are considered major risk factors for the development of heart disease and stroke.
It's important for everyone to know their cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, and to stay within recommended goal ranges. We encourage everyone to work with their primary-care provider to evaluate and treat their risk factors for heart disease.
Below are a few common questions we hear from patients. Or take an online "Heart Disease Risk Assessment" quiz to learn about some of your risk factors, then consult a primary care provider.
How often should I have my cholesterol checked?
Once every five years, adults over age 20 should have a fasting lipoprotein profile – which measures total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides (another blood fat), according to recommendations from the National Cholesterol Education program.
You may need to have your cholesterol checked more often than every five years if one or more of these situations applies to you:
• Your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dl or more.
• You are a man over age 45 or a woman over age 50.
• Your HDL (good) cholesterol is less than 40/mg/dL.
• You have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and early onset of heart disease in your immediate family history.
• Your health care provider is treating you for high cholesterol or other heart disease risk factors.
What are HDL and LDL, and why do they matter?
Cholesterol does not dissolve in the blood. It has to be transported by carriers called lipoproteins. There are two types of these lipoproteins: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is known as the "bad" type of cholesterol because its ability to build up on the inner walls of the arteries of the heart and vascular system. This can cause narrowing in the arteries leading to clots or blockages which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Too much LDL cholesterol in the blood can increase this risk. Optimal levels of LDL recommended are 100 mg/dL or less.
HDL is known as the "good" type of cholesterol because high levels of HDL seem to protect against risk of heart attacks. Medical experts believe that HDL helps to carry cholesterol away from the arteries to be broken down in the liver and removed. The higher the HDL level, the greater the chance that the cholesterol is being removed.
Optimal HDL should be above 50 mg/dL or greater.
How can I improve my cholesterol numbers?
Everyone can work to improve their cholesterol numbers and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease by eating a low fat diet, exercising regularly, losing excess weight, and increasing fiber in their diet. You should consult with your health care provider to evaluate your cardiovascular disease risk and whether you may need medication in addition to diet and exercise.
How often should I check my blood pressure?
Have your blood pressure checked every year. Optimal blood pressure is 120/80 or less. High blood pressure is considered to be 140/90 or greater. If your blood pressure is 130/85 or greater it should be watched closely and you should consult your health care provider.
What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is considered the "quiet" disease because there usually are no symptoms. Knowing your numbers and seeking treatment when indicated can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Things that everyone can do to help improve blood pressure levels include weight loss, salt reduction, stress reduction, cardiovascular exercise, and a healthy diet.
What can be done to reduce high blood pressure?
We have seen patients improve their blood pressure and cholesterol levels through diet and exercise alone. However, in many cases patients may require medication to help them reach their optimal numbers and reduce their overall risk for heart disease and stroke. Consult a primary care provider if you have concerns.

Tuesday is All Saints Day, and the 10th anniversary of the death of my mom, Cita Dennis Hubbell. Ten years, and still there's a hole so wide and so deep, I cannot imagine how young children survive the loss of their mother. I was 35, and completely unprepared.
Often, when people hear that the Hubbell Library in Algiers Point is named after my mother, they assume she left a good deal of money to the city. It is a reasonable assumption, because that is often how people's names come to be on public buildings.
But she was not wealthy; she did not leave money to the library. It was named after her — at the instigation of former City Councilman Troy Carter — because she devoted so much time and energy to the library. She led the fight to have it reopened after Hurricane Betsy, a struggle that lasted five years. She also worked to ensure that it remained open and that it served the community as best it could.
She organized volunteers to keep it open longer hours and worked with longtime library manager, the legendary Louise LaMothe, to provide programming and events to make it more valuable, especially for children.
My mom was passionate about children, and not just her own. She was a neonatal intensive care nurse, but it didn't stop there. She was passionate about ensuring that all children have the opportunity to learn and grow and live rewarding lives. Her fight for the library was not just about the Algiers library, but about the right of all children to have a library within walking distance. She urged New Orleans Public Library leaders to return to a focus on neighborhood libraries.
She firmly believed that nurture was more important than nature. No matter who the child was, no matter who his parents were, she stressed, if he received the right care and attention, the right education, the world of opportunity could be his.
She was not wealthy, but she was rich in many ways. She had a desire for justice, a love of learning and an unparalleled wit. My nephew Shannon said, "One of the things I loved most about Granny was her sense of humor. So ridiculously witty. Sitting at dinner with her was like sitting at the Algonquin Round Table."
My brother Danny, Shannon's father and — far more than anyone else — the inheritor of that wit, recalled more of her fine qualities.
"In Algiers in the 1970s, Mama told me one day about catching some white boys throwing glass bottles into the empty swimming pool in Delcazel Park," he remembered. "She recognized one or more of them as Holy Name of Mary students."
When she yelled at them to stop, they said that only black children used that pool. She tried, unsuccessfully, to reason with them.
"She was so disturbed by this that she went to the next Holy Name of Mary PTA meeting and lectured the assembled mamas about such values. She told the parents she found it inexcusable that children learn stuff like that 'from mothers — not others, but mothers.' "
She was also adventurous and endlessly curious about the world around her. She could always talk about current events and pop culture, history, geography, literature, pretty much anything. This thirst for knowledge made her a fine crossword puzzler and hard-to-beat at Trivial Pursuit. And, as my oldest brother Paul said, "no matter what I told her I was reading, she'd already read it."
She loved to travel, too. According to Danny, "When we lived in Germany," which was from 1963 to 1966, "we went on a lot of car trips all over Western Europe, trips lasting anywhere from a few days to a week or two. She instigated and planned these trips, all without benefit of the World Wide Web. She had a copy of Arthur Frommer's 'Europe on 5 Dollars a Day' covered, at the author's suggestion, with a homemade paper book cover so as to not look too tourist-like.
"What I remember as significant is that it was Mama who always learned at least a few words and phrases in the language of whatever countries we visited. Philip (our brother) and I were pretty smug about being fluent in German, but Mother did all the talking in Portugal, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, wherever."
Of course, it's hard for any of us to describe her in a few words, but I suppose what I appreciated — and benefited from — most, was her sense that the world was an interesting place full of interesting people, places and things, and that we should go out and explore it all. That, and the concept that we could be anything we wanted to be, and that we should shape the lives that we wanted.
It's easy to forget now, but not that long ago that was not the way that most women were raised. She was born in 1928 and I was born in 1966, a time when the world was changing fast. She was determined that I understand that my possibilities were endless, that my only limitations were my imagination and my willingness to work hard.
I always wish that she was still here, but I did so more than usual last weekend, when her beloved grandson Mike married Laura Rubin, his school mate from Alice Harte, Ben Franklin and Boston University. It was a lovely ceremony and a terrific party, and they are such a great couple. Mama would be thrilled.
The Kiwanis Club of Algiers – Morning Edition meets every Thursday morning from 7 to 8 at the Aurora Tennis and Swim Club. This morning's guest speaker is Tina Thomas, biopsychologist and author of "Understanding Personality and Human Potential." Next week, Chris Kane, president, Algiers Economic Development Foundation, and Heather Kouts, NOPD Fourth District commander, will join the club in honoring Jason Hickman as Officer of the Quarter.
Guests are always welcome.
Amy Hubbell is an Algiers resident who writes about people and events in the community. To reach her, call her at 504.322.7479 or email her at email@example.com.

Always a good way to spend a day…
Saturday the 29th of November marks a double celebration for the BeachCare clean volunteer groups; the 50th Fistral Beach Clean which coincides with the 500th beach clean for Keep Britain's Tidy's BeachCare program across Devon & Cornwall. A fantastic and stirling effort by everyone involved.
Neil Hembrow, BeachCare Officer for the South West commented: 'The efforts of the beach clean group are truly inspiring. Their work on the beach and particularly in the dunes have shown that volunteers can make a tremendous positive impact on their local area. This group have taken it upon themselves to take action and protect what they love – Fistral Beach.'
This is what we have achieved;
Number of bags removed – 441
Most bags – 21 – February 2011
Number of Volunteer hours – 1726
Approximate amount of waste collected – 6.6 tonnes – of which 5.9 tonnes is plastic
We have removed the equivalent of a double decker bus in weight of litter from Fistral Beach over the last four years.
As a surfer and beach lover I see these beach cleans as a way of giving a little something back. I have been fortunate enough to have only missed about seven or eight of the cleans.
Here is inkydeep's blog post about the very first Fistral Beach clean http://www.inkydeep.com/2010/10/a-good-way-to-spend-a-saturday-morning/
Appreciate and protect what we love.

As temperatures soared on Tuesday, TriMet announced that it would, as usual, slow MAX trains to avoid any problems with sun-warped tracks and sagging overhead power lines.
But here's what Oregon's largest transit agency didn't tell bus commuters: Eight percent of the active bus fleet still don't have air-conditioning.
Here's a sample of what bus riders reported on Twitter during Tuesday's 90-degree evening commute:
@pdxcommute On the 10 bus, just crossed C Chavez heading east. We've had to stop twice & AC just went out. Driver having us open all windows— Tim F.S. Brown (@timfsbrown) July 2, 2014
@pdxcommute The 51 didn't have AC when I was on it about 1.5 hrs ago. It actually felt cool outside when I got off the bus.— MJ (@DBBettiePDX) July 2, 2014
This heat must be delaying @trimet waiting now for three scheduled buses that didn't show cc: @pdxcommute— Benjamin Kerensa (@bkerensa) July 2, 2014
@pdxcommute lots of buses are running with no or compromised AC units right now— TriMet Scanner (@trimetscanner) July 2, 2014

Just a great big thank you to @trimet for buses with AC today!— Melissa Chavez (@capnleela) July 2, 2014
A mix of grumpy and the sunny. (Cheers to the teamwork on that No. 10 bus, where sweaty riders had to open the windows to get a breeze – albeit a warm one – flowing in Southeast Portland.)
How do you know if you're about step onto a bus without AC?
First, if it's one of the older 30-foot buses it probably doesn't have AC. TriMet's 22 30-foot buses date back to 1992 and operate on lines where hilly terrain can't accommodate the larger 40-foot people movers.
But some larger buses still aren't equipped to keep riders cool. As of Wednesday, 42 buses in TriMet's active fleet don't have AC.
Obviously, TriMet can't keep the AC from going kaput on overheated buses. But the good news is that the days of buses without air-conditioning are numbered, said Roberta Altstadt, a TriMet spokeswoman.
"With new buses going into service every week now, the percentage is improving even more," she said.
The good news: This is probably the last summer when TriMet riders will have to board a bus not equipped with air-conditioning.
When the new 30-foot buses, as well as the new 3300s, are purchased this winter and next spring, the AC-less buses will be retired, Altstadt said.
