Man jailed in probation violation
WARREN A 22-year-old Farmdale man who spent almost eight months behind bars in connection with the death of his best friend, was sentenced back to Trumbull County Jail on Monday this time on a probation violation.
Ryan Charles Wrightsman of state Route 87, pleaded true, or guilty, to the violation in front of Judge Peter Kontos, who imposed an additional four months.
Wrightsman twice tested positive for marijuana in his system, according to his probation officer. He was arrested April 8 after the tests in October and March.
He also was reminded that he owes nearly $9,000 in restitution ordered by Kontos last June when he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in connection with the shooting death of 20-year-old Joshua Soles, of state Route 7, Vernon.
Soles was killed Nov. 1, 2011, in his own home while a third man, Zack Davis, witnessed the shooting as all three were drinking alcohol.
Wrightsman remained in jail from Nov. 1 until his plea in mid-June and was given credit for time served.
Wrightsman pleaded guilty to a bill of information charging him with misdemeanor charges of negligent homicide and using weapons while intoxicated. He was initially charged with murder but indicted on a manslaughter charge.
While the three were drinking and smoking marijuana, Soles put a loaded rifle to his head threatening to kill himself and daring Wrightsman to help him pull the trigger.
Davis called 911, at first reporting it as a suicide. But he changed the story later. Prosecutors said it isn't clear if Wrightsman tried to disarm Soles and the gun went off in a struggle.
The coroner was reportedly prepared to testify that Soles' arm wasn't long enough to reach the trigger of the rifle. But Wrightsman's attorney also was prepared to rebut that testimony and other state forensic evidence with his own experts.
Kontos initially sentenced Wrightsman to the maximum six months on each charge, running the sentences consecutively, but suspending four of the months for a total of eight months.
The judge also placed Wrightsman on five years probation and ordered him to pay $8,978 within a year to the Soles family to cover the cost of burial. Wrightsman also was given permission to serve some of the probation time at a Sarasota, Fla., facility for clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries. Wrightsman suffered severe head injuries in a car crash in Cortland two years ago.

Next November, voters will get to determine if the money put by oil companies into the Artificial Reef Development Fund is in fact used to develop artificial reefs.
SB 128, introduced by Sen. Bret Allain, unanimously passed both the House and Senate of the Louisiana Legislature. The bill provides explicit constitutional protection for the fund, but because it's a constitutional amendment, it must also be approved by a majority of voters.
A constitutional amendment became necessary because the fund was raided by lawmakers, backed by Gov. Bobby Jindal, in 2010 and 2011. The governor's proposed budget this year also included removal of dollars from the fund, but that language has been removed, according to Rebecca Triche, executive director of the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
A wide consortium of interests supported the bill, and ironically, many of the same legislators who voted to raid the fund supported the bill to protect it.
"When it went through the Legislature, it picked up 32 cosponsors in the House," Triche said. "A lot of legislators were looking out for the proposed sweep that was in the (2013) budget but isn't there now. The Louisiana Oil and Gas Association gave crucial support for this. It was just the right time to business, to the state and to fishermen."
Dollars are placed into the fund by oil and gas companies who save money by converting their decommissioned platforms into artificial reefs. Those funds are used by the state to construct and maintain artificial-reef sites in both inshore and offshore waters.
The two previous raids have inhibited the construction of reefs in Louisiana, Triche said.
"The Louisiana Wildlife Federation wants the money that was swept before to be returned to the fund," she said. "There's $47 million (that was taken) two years ago and three years ago, so we're still on the lookout for that.
"We do believe it was always constitutionally protected, but going forward, if this passes in November 2014, on Dec. 25, it will become constitutionally effective, and all donations will be protected, so it'll be a nice Christmas gift for anglers."

Wigan, Marcus (2008) A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. In: Remote relationships in a small world. Peter Land, New York, pp. 277-284. ISBN 9780830486307Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Small children, a time consuming job, and remote living are not conducive to a happy life. Why does one choose to do it? If one has to, how can one arrange one's life to make a family work? What can communications do to help? It is easy to ask the questions, but, until one has had to do it, the answers might seem to be either insuperable or straightforward. Actually, living it creates a new reality where both seem to be largely irrelevant. Having lived it, this
chapter can be seen to be action research and is my own personal narrative of progress and shifts in communication technologies and how they helped (or didn't help) to keep in touch. But, while my own views may give some insight
into the adaptations of the involuntary traveller, it is necessary to include the perspectives of the other party as well, and so, in writing this chapter, I also consulted my wife for her version of the memories and experiences of
our own remote relationship. The events of which we speak are of two types and in two very different eras. The first was in the early to mid-1990s, when email and web access were just beginning to make an initial gentle impact on
the community at large; the second was in the last seven years, when the range and rate of communications and media options had changed fundamentally and

Kingston High School Buccaneers take rivalry victory against North Kitsap Vikings
What began as a close game against the North Kitsap Vikings and the Kingston Buccaneers, turned into a blowout.
The Bucs proved they are the Olympic League champions on Tuesday, defeating the Vikings 63-24.
The first quarter was a back-and-fourth battle, with a Buc lead of 14-6. A packed gymnasium kept both teams playing until the end, but the Vikings could not hold up for long.
By the beginning of the second half, the Vikings — without a win this season — had fallen behind.
The Bucs team plays in the sub-district playoffs on Feb. 12.

Memo to Milwaukee Brewers GM Doug Melvin:
New York Mets GM Omar Minaya somehow convinced his Milwaukee counterpart to trade a decent catcher in Johnny Estrada for that juiced-up bum Guillermo Mota. All of this in a market that isn't exactly flooded with decent backstops, mind you.
Then he sold Melvin a ketchup popsicle and a pair of white clothes.
"We know what we're getting in Mota," Melvin told Majorleaguebaseball.com after the deal.
Uh, we're talking about the same Guillermo Mota here, right? Guess they don't get SportsNet in Milwaukee.
In one swap, the Mets fill their vacancy behind the dish AND they ship out their single biggest headache in Mr. Mota.
Also in the plus column, the team saves a couple of bucks when you figure Paul Lo Duca made $6.25M last season and old Guillermo was set for a $3.2M payday in 2008. Estrada will make about $4M in arbitration this year.
And Estrada -- a former All-Star who's got plenty left in the tank at 31 -- can hit. He's a switch hitter, batted above .300 thrice in his career and he killed lefties (.311 average) in 2007.
No, he's not a defensive wiz -- he tossed out just 13 percent of base stealers last season -- but an off-season elbow surgery could help return him to his career mark, which is 23 percent.
Plus, this guy will be motivated in his walk year.
Thoughts on your new catcher, Mets Nation? Feel free to leave them below.
Ya gotta believe

PORT CLINTON — A Marblehead, Ohio, man was killed when the car he was driving struck a tree off Northwest Catawba Road early Tuesday, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Chris Bradford, 57, was pronounced dead at the scene in Ottawa County's Catawba Island Township, according to the patrol. He was driving south on Northwest Catawba about 12:55 a.m. when, authorities say, he drove off the right side of East Mooresdock Road, then overcorrected, causing the car to run off the left side of the road and strike the tree. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to the patrol.
The crash occurred about 10 miles northeast of Port Clinton, which is about 40 miles east of Toledo.

It's easy to set up parental controls and filter the web. These features are built into everything from Windows to the iPad. But none of these filtering solutions is perfect.
They could boot off a Linux live CD to bypass filtering built into Windows.
LOL, did this once. My mom put a password in Windows XP, because she thought I was "spending too much time on the internet." She didn't know about the Ubuntu disc in the drawer.
If your router supports the feature, putting the OpenDNS servers into the DNS server settings on the router can be better than changing the DNS settings on the PC. This should help filter for other wireless devices, like tablets.
If I'm not wrong, PC-level DNS settings override router-level ones. So we can still set our DNS to 18.104.22.168 and 126.96.36.199 and get access to the whole WWW.
Absolutely correct this is necessary for small kids, however the older savvy-er ones will find ways around it. There's no point, really because they can simply take the devices to any wi-fi enabled coffee shop/library/friends house.
It comes down to active parenting. Parents need to be involved with their kids, and actively TALKING to them about online content. You cannot simply rely on your kids to "do the right thing". They need to be taught what the right thing is.
I found an answer to this on an OpenDNS forum.... "if you blocked port 53 traffic passthrough [on your router], the end device would produce errors if someone configured it with an alternative DNS service, different from your router (as DNS server / forwarder). There would not be DNS at all which looks like no internet at all, because domain names cannot be resolved any longer." Hope that helps.
Whoa, nice. Now I'll just learn the IP for a pinging site and get all the IPs I need to browse the web there.

Minnesota governor vetoes tax bill
ST. PAUL -- Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed a smaller tax-relief bill than Republicans wanted, saying Monday that it would cost $119 million over three years, mostly to cut business taxes.
"It ignored my requirement that any future spending must be paid for and avoid adding to the next biennium's projected deficit" of $1.1 billion, Dayton said.
The governor also said the bill is not balanced because it would give "significant business tax reductions and virtually no tax relief for anyone else."
"There is no question that Minnesota businesses have been hit hard by property tax increases," Dayton said. "But so have everyone else."
Republican reaction was immediate on social networks, especially given the fact that hours earlier Dayton signed a bill for a $975 million Vikings stadium.
"Dayton provides prop tax and sales tax relief for Vikes but denies it for all other MN businesses," tweeted Senate Tax Chairwoman Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen.
Ortman said part of the bill Dayton erased contained tax breaks meant to help Mall of America to expand. That cost 10,000 jobs, the senator said.
House Republican spokeswoman Jodi Boyne said Dayton "turned his back on every business" after signing the stadium bill, which helped one business.
House Tax Chairman Greg Davids, R-Preston, had said Republicans looked over Dayton's veto letter of the larger bill a month ago and tried to craft one he would like. But Dayton was not involved in writing the bill.
The measure would have frozen a statewide business property tax and made several other changes, mostly helping businesses.
Dayton praised some provisions in the bill, such as one to give tax credits to businesses that hire veterans and another to encourage business investment.
The governor signed another tax bill, "despite my serious reservations." He said he is concerned about Local Government Aid changes in the bill.
Dayton said some cities may receive more aid than planned, while others lose. Republicans said small cities would be spared cuts, and other cities' state payments would be frozen.
"Despite my concerns, I am persuaded to sign the bill because of the $4.1 million of property tax relief it provides to homeowners, who experience increases greater than 12 percent," Dayton said.
Don Davis reports for Forum Communications Co.

Dimock, PA (WBNG Binghamton) Initial results of water testing in Dimock show no elevated levels of contamination.
The federal agency says that the first eleven water wells to be tested in its study meet safe drinking water standards.
Some neighbors in the Carter Road area claim drilling practices from Cabot Oil and Gas tainted their wells.
Testing will continue, and the EPA tells neighbors it is not drawing any conclusions until that process is complete.
A few neighbors will continue to receive water deliveries from the EPA.

DELAWARE TWP. — A young boy who lost his home, his dog and all of his possessions in a fire a month ago got an early Christmas present this week, a laptop computer from The Jingle Elves.
Calvin McVey, 11, and his father, Brian, were left homeless the night of Nov. 12-13, alerted to the late-night fire by a blaring smoke detector in the 1700s stone farmhouse they rented on Spring Meadow Farm.
Their 7-year-old dog, Obie, was initially with them but darted back into the burning house.
The heat was so intense that possessions in the home were incinerated. Because the family lost everything, Delaware Township School counselors immediately started a gift card drive for the McVeys.
Dianne Rankin, founding chairwoman of the giving program, reached out to those counselors to learn if Jingle Elves could fill an unmet need for the family.
The computer and associated equipment are "a big cost item," more than Jingle Elves normally provides, but this past year memorial donations to the program gave Rankin more flexibility.
Family and friends donated in memory of 25-year-old Ryan Timothy Alley, a Dean's List student at The College of New Jersey and Hunterdon Central High graduate who died after a car crash in March, and 73-year old Barbara Jean Jacobs, who had been a registered nurse and trained mezzo soprano who also designed her home here and in other parts of North America.
Because of the memorial donations, Rankin knew that she could make the holidays particularly special for two families without cutting back on the approximately 70 poinsettias delivered to families who lost a loved one the previous year or providing needy families with gift cards from a local grocery store, discount store and gasoline company.
The program also helps with emergency needs throughout the year. Rankin is usually one of the first to reach out to a family who has lost a home to fire, and the fund has helped, for instance, a working single mom with car problems.
Jingle Elves purchased the computer, a printer, paper, ink cartridges and two flash drives for the McVeys. Rankin said that it will help Calvin with school assignments — students today may verify homework assignments, email teachers and conduct research online and create Power Point presentations for class projects.
The memorial donation also included extra gift cards so that the McVeys can enjoy dinner and a movie with friends. The computer and related equipment cost $900, said Rankin.
The other recipient of the memorial donation is a family with a special needs child. That child wanted a flat screen TV and the wish was granted.
Jingle Elves started here close to two decades ago by filling holiday wish lists with a giving tree at the Municipal Building and using cash donations to buy gift cards and the poinsettias or to fill the emergency needs throughout the year.
In 2009, the program expanded northward along the Delaware River to include Kingwood Township and Frenchtown. Under the expanded program, Rankin largely stopped buying or accepting gifts because of the number of families receiving help, about 100 yearly.
She works with groups such as churches and schools to learn who's struggling to pay the bills. And she does continue to deliver the poinsettias (Delaware Township only), usually getting her husband to drive.
Rankin is thankful to the people who fund Jingle Elves. It's not unusual for a recipient to be reduced to tears, she said, amazed by the generosity of anonymous donors.
She's quick to say that it is "The Jingle Elves, not me. People are incredibly generous."
The Elves is a registered charity and donations are tax-deductible. Rankin accepts checks made payable to The Jingle Elves at Box 252, Sergeantsville 08557. For more, e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text:
An early fifth-century writer, known only through two treatises which warrant the conjecture that he was a monk, possibly an abbot, and a Spaniard.
The first of these writings, entitled by Gennadius "Liber de Fide" is an apologetical letter to the pope in which Bachiarius, like many another monk coming to Rome from Spain at the time, vindicates his faith against the suspicions of a heterodoxy akin to Priscillianism which were based on his residence in heretical lands. He points out that he left his country because of its errors (whence some conclude that he was exiled) and makes a profession of faith that witnesses to his thorough orthodoxy. The second, entitled "Ad Januariam liber de reparatione lapsi", is an appeal to an abbot, Januarius, to mitigate his severity towards an incontinent monk who though repentant was excluded from the monastery. The letter breathes a beautiful spirit of prudently tempered charity and like the first is replete with scriptural texts and allusions. The theory of Bachiarius's identity with the Spanish bishop Peregrinus seems untenable.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

the best rapper in the world
Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the only child of Deborah R. (Nelson) Mathers-Briggs and Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr.[8] He is of Scottish,[9] English, German, Swiss, Polish, and Luxembourgian ancestry.[10] His father abandoned the family when he was 18 months old, and he was raised solely by his mother. By the age of 12, Mathers and his mother had moved between various cities and towns in Missouri (including Saint Joseph, Savannah, and Kansas City)[11] before they settled in Warren, Michigan, and in Mathers' teenage years, Detroit.[12]
As a child, Mathers developed an interest in storytelling and aspired to become a comic book artist before discovering hip hop.[13] When Mathers was around 11 years old, his maternal uncle Ronald "Ronnie" Nelson introduced him to the genre after giving him a copy of Ice-T's single "Reckless".[13] After obtaining a copy of the Beastie Boys album Licensed to Ill as a teenager, Mathers became interested in music, performing amateur raps at age 14 under the pseudonym "M&M" and joining the group called "Bassmint Productions" and released their second EP, Steppin' Onto The Scene. They later changed their name to "Soul Intent" and around 1995 they released their first single called "Fuckin' Backstabber" under the record label Mashin' Duck Records.[1] Although he was enrolled at Lincoln High School in Warren, he frequently participated in freestyle battles at the now-defunct Osborn High School on Detroit's east side.[14] Despite a well-documented struggle succeeding in a predominantly African-American industry, he gained the approval of underground hip hop audiences.[1][8][15] After repeating the ninth grade twice due to truancy and near-failing grades,[16] he dropped out of high school at age 17.
In 1991, Mathers was devastated by the suicide of his uncle. He has a tattoo reading "Ronnie R.I.P." on his upper left arm.[17] Ronnie was mentioned in the songs "Stan", "Cleanin' Out My Closet" and "My Dad's Gone Crazy".

i don't have any info nor do i like the game of chess, but i decided to help you out with this bump.
Wii Chess is coming out this winter, but no one knows what it is...
Though it needs it's own thread, so that people can suggest what Wii Chess is. Maybe it'll be the first Wiiware game?
It's there in the list, in bold, with a release date of "Winter".
If you happen to find any info on it, post it in this thread, and I'll update this post with the new info.
Update 1:
Wii Chess is part of the Wii series (Wii sports, Wii play, Wii Fitness, Wii Music,...). Source

I don't really like chess either, and it isn't very poular, so I don't get Nintendo's logic behind this, unless they make some uber pimped version of chess!

I have a feeling this one will be free.
Sounds silly, I know, but considering how I can type "Chess" into google and get about 100 free online chess sites I can't imagine any one paying good money so they can play with nintendo themed chess pieces.
But how is chess NOT popular? It's one of the biggest games in the western world, and just about every city on the planet has a chess club where you can meet and socialize with other players for a very modest fee (Usually $10 a month.)
As a disclaimer, I'm not a chess fan and if this service costs money then I'll just chuckle to myself as it fades into obscurity... if it does end up being free though.. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for Wii Go!

I really like chess, but I wouldn't buy a chess game. I much prefer to play it in real life with someone especially if it's a round of strip chess with my GF lol
I can honestly say I've never heard of/thought about that, wow, so that would require an intellectual girl as well as a girl that is comfortable with herself, score one for you bud.Originally Posted by Eagles
Thanks, she's quite a keeper and I'm better then her at chess lol which makes it even more fun Moving back on to Wii chess, had a look around and couldn't find any more info for you, quite a mysterious title!Originally Posted by blueovalboy7
Well, I made an update. Figured I ought to see what info's on wikipedia. Found a tiny piece of info, which suggests it won't be a Wiiware title, but you'll actually have to buy the game. And it'll be interesting how they get enough depth in the game, seeing as simply chess won't sell. Maybe we'll get yet another accessory with it?
Signature under construction
"Life's a game", and I lost the manual...
If they really plan on marketing this as a normal game they better be giving us another accessory, but I really don't need another Wii remote, so maybe Wii points?Originally Posted by JT.
Well, I'd take the wiki with a grain of salt considering it's working off the same information every one else has right now. Honestly, there's not enough here to make speculation, unless nintendo is going to do to chess what they did to soccer it's destined to flop (if they charge money for it.)

Wow, we haven't seen David Arquette in a very long time! In fact, it seems like the actor has quieted down somewhat since the news broke that he was divorcing Courteney Cox and his stint on "Dancing With The Stars," both last year.
The actor was spotted having a fun night out at the Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood, Calif. on Wednesday evening. He even took the time to pose in front of his Studebaker Avanti for the paparazzi in total David Arquette style, lol. Check out our photos below and let us know what you think!

|Re: [TowerTalk] US Towers TX-472MDPL Remote Control

I failed to mention that my tower is fully visible from the very large
window in the shack. Many folks have suggested that I rethink the wisdom
of controlling a tower sight unseen. And they have a good point. Were I
not able to see the entire system, I would not pursue this option. I've
experienced a hand cranked tower sticking in the part-way-down mode and it
ain't fun. Point well taken.

Bear in mind that when you remote control something that you cannot see, you need to have some basic safety precautions in place, like interlocks and position feedback. A friend has a crank up tower (without positive pull down), and had it hang up while retracting one night. The winch keeps unspooling the cable, leaving the upper tower sections essentially supported by friction. I forgot why he went out there to look at, but he mentioned it was pretty scary, looking up at the tower with a flashlight and realizing that at any moment it could break loose and fall.

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey's commonsense position on keeping coal as part of the nation's energy mix has been unfairly criticized. ("Natural gas boosters like Toomey cause coal more trouble than Obama's EPA," letters, Aug. 2)
The Obama administration is pushing to impose arbitrary and unrealistic carbon emission standards that already are forcing the shutdown of coal-fueled power plants, at the cost of hundreds of power plant and coal production jobs in Pennsylvania.
The coal industry endorses a collaborative approach in which regulators work with energy stakeholders and continue to reduce carbon emissions as advances in technology are able to accommodate such reductions. This would be similar to the way in which the federal government worked with the auto industry to improve mileage standards as that technology matured.
Instead, the administration is imposing emission standards that are not yet achievable given current technology, and providing no incentives to continue the significant improvement that has occurred to date.
Coal represents a number of positive factors in the energy mix — abundance, reliability and affordability, as well as being a domestic energy source. Zero carbon emissions is an achievable goal as clean-coal technology advances, but the imposition of unrealistic standards will cause severe economic consequences, as measured by lost jobs and higher energy prices.

BiographyIn this section, I'm going to recognize people that have helped me, either now or before, or who have captured my heart as a true blue friend! ^_^
1. Heero33 - Thanks a ton Mickey! You're the one who got me back on this site! ^_^
2. Regrem Erutearc - Uh...I hope I spelled your name right. Bah. Don't do too much multitasking. I get sad when you don't PM me right back! ^_^
3. Exacliber - Neopals 4eva! What more can I say?
I'd also like to thank my muses. You know who you are! ^_^ I couldn't do all my writing without you! :P
InterestsOkay, the fact that I was gone for so long, and now I'm back... That means...COMPLETE OVERHAUL!!!!
Newayz, as far as interests go...gaming is good. Gaming is always good. I'd have to go FF (all of them!), LOD, Golden Sun, that sorta stuff. RPG's are the only type of game I'm any good at. ;-;
Love to read. Absolutely obsessed with Legolas Greenleaf, son of Thranduil, King of Mirkwood. None of you have even scratched the surface of my obssession. If you love LOTR, may I suggest 'The Sword of Truth' series by Terry Goodkind. Amazing books.
I also love to write. I write both fanfiction and original stories. Interested in reading? My homepage is my Fanfiction.net profile.
I'm also a very big music person. I play clarinet, F horn (marching season only), piano, and I'm in one of the top choirs at our school. Made the musical this year again. Which means...I might be a little busy come March.

MUSKEGON, MI – The dark clouds and overcast day didn't discourage the participants of this year's Mercy Health Seaway Run. In fact, some welcomed it.
"Perfect for running," was how Todd Sellon from Spring Lake described the weather, citing the absence of sun and the day's relatively cool temperature.
Sellon was one of 3,272 participants in the 32nd annual event, which began at around 7:30 a.m. June 22 at Western Avenue between the Muskegon Family YMCA and Fricano Place.
This year's Seaway Run was one of the largest yet. Attendance was up from almost 2,900 people last year. A half marathon and a five-mile walk were added to the event's lineup, which had previously included only a 5K and 15K race and a three-mile Community Fun Walk.
Each race and walk also took place on brand new courses. For the first time ever, the walks and races began and finished at two different locations and ran in opposite directions.
The timed races began near the intersection of Franklin Street and West Western Avenue and headed toward Lakeshore Drive, with the half marathon extending beyond Pere Marquette Park. The walks began at Rotary Park, located adjacent to the Muskegon Family YMCA and headed north.
All the routes were designed to use as much of the Lakeshore Trail as possible.
Participants said they enjoyed the new courses.
"It was great and peaceful and the water was very calming," said Delynne Siggaard, who competed in the 15K race. Siggaard, who recently moved to Milwaukee from Norton Shores, said she thought this year's course was the best yet.
"It was wonderful," she said.
Holland resident Pat O'Rourke, 63, said the half marathon course gave him a new perspective of the area.
"The course was good, it was really interesting," he said. "There were a lot of turns, it gave me a different look than I've had in previous years."
And despite concerns that the courses would be too congested, many said it wasn't a problem.
"I didn't feel it was too crowded," said Camille Gabris, a member of the event's steering committee, after she ran the 5K.
Jamie Lloyd from Montague described last year's community walk as "congested," but said that this year's event was less crowded, even though some participants brought dogs and pushed strollers.
"I like the new trail," she said.
Rachel Bartlett, 27, from Montague also said she didn't have any troubles with the courses.
"They marked it really well," she said.
Over 2,300 runners competed in the timed events this year, according to race officials. The winners of each race were:
- Male Overall Winner (5K): Alex Webb, 19, of Muskegon.
- Female Overall Winner (5K): Jeanne Dykman, 43, of Montague.
- Male Masters Winner (5K): Robert Moore, 48, of Groveport, Ohio.
- Female Masters Winner (5K): Shelly Mattson, 50, of Grand Haven.
- Male Overall Winner (15K): Shay Ostyn, 18, of Grant.
- Female Overall Winner (15K): Amanda Ringleka, 41, of Stanton, Mich.
- Male Masters Winner (15K): Mark Paulson, 45, of White Lake, Mich.
- Female Masters Winner (15K): Jean Seward, 48, of Muskegon.
- Male Overall Winner (Half Marathon): Alex Moore, 24, of Groveport, Ohio.
- Female Overall Winner (Half Marathon): Jessica Sowles, 32, of Muskegon.
- Male Masters Winner (Half Marathon): Jim Lanciaux, 51, of Fremont.
- Female Masters Winner (Half Marathon): Kristen Brown, 41, of Muskegon.
- Half Marathon Wheel Chair: Lindsay Rabbitt, 29, of Muskegon.

LANCASTER — It's the first week of head-to-head section play in the L-L League, so the races for section supremacy officially begin this weekend.
With that as a backdrop, here are five things to keep an eye on for the league openers …
1 — WILL WILSON JOIN THE 500 CLUB? Wilson is sitting on 499 career program victories dating back to 1945. The Bulldogs can become just the second L-L League team to hit 500 wins with a victory Friday at McCaskey, which is 0-3. Ironically, the Red Tornado is the only other L-L program with 500 wins; McCaskey is 537-450-48 since 1890. Manheim Central, meanwhile, is sitting on 496 wins, and can make it 497 with a victory over Elizabethtown in that Section 2 opener on Friday. Some more Wilson numbers heading into Friday's tilt at McCaskey: The Bulldogs have had a winning record in 54 of their 68 seasons, including the last 37 years in a row. Wilson has won 36 Section 1 games in a row, dating back to Week 10 of the 2007 season. And starting Friday, they'll begin their quest for a sixth undefeated run through league play in a row. Wilson will be a heavy favorite to hit the 500 mark and extend its winning streak on Friday; Bulldogs are third in the league in total team D (177.3 yards per game against) and have allowed just 34 points in three games. McCaskey has scored 36 points and is near the bottom of the league in total O, averaging 188.3 yards per game, with a league-low 157 rushing yards.
2 — GOT MILK? When Lampeter-Strasburg (1-2) heads to Solanco (0-3) on Saturday for a high-noon Section 2 kick against the Golden Mules, the Milk Jug will be up for grabs. The neighboring schools have played for the Milk Jug — a real milk jug, painted half in L-S blue and white and half in Solanco black and gold — the last several years. The winner keeps the traveling Jug. Advantage L-S in this one. The Pioneers are coming off their first win this season — 34-7 over Red Lion — and are averaging more than 300 yards per game on offense. L-S has some things to clean of defensively — Pioneers are yielding 357.3 yards per game — but they've only been flagged 12 times, tied for least in the league. Solanco's O has been stuck in neutral. The Mules are last in the league in total team offense (104.0 yards per game) points scored (12) and first downs (16). Solanco is riding a 7-game losing skid. A win Saturday would end that slide, and the Mules would get a victory lap with the Jug.
3 — CAN BUCKS' PASS-CATCH COMBO CONTINUE TO CLICK? Conestoga Valley is 0-3, but is beginning to make some strides under first-year head coach Mark Pieters, who installed a Wing-T scheme this past summer. The Bucks opened with a 54-7 loss to Cedar Cliff and a 35-16 setback to Warwick. In Week 3, Garden Spot dropped CV 34-15, but the Bucks' O got a jolt from freshman QB Grant Stoltzfus and junior WR Jamaar Parker, who both had breakout games. Against the Spartans, Stoltzfus went 13-for-21 for 227 yards and had a pair of TD throws to Parker, who caught five passes for 139 yards. The touchdowns covered 78 yards and 21 yards, as the Bucks' O showed some signs of life with 313 yards — that after CV had 234 yards against Cedar Cliff and 221 yards against Warwick. Tough assignment for the Bucks on Friday: 3-0 Cocalico — which has carved out 1,069 rushing yards in three games — comes to Witmer for a 7 p.m. kick. So CV's D will be tested. Anxious to see if the Stoltzfus-to-Parker connection can continue to sizzle. Cocalico's DBs could be busy Friday night if the Bucks continue to show Wing-T, but also air it out.
4 — CAN EPHRATA GROUND THE AIR RAID? Lebanon's pass attack — with senior QB Mark Pyles directing traffic — has produced 625 passing yards and 11 TD tosses the last two games, both victories for the Cedars, 40-39 in OT over Northern Lebanon and 51-27 over Elco. Lebanon, now 2-1 and feeling much better about things, welcomes Ephrata for the Section 2 opener on Friday at 7 p.m., and here's a stat the Mounts probably don't want to hear: Ephrata has yielded 582 passing yards, second-most in the league. Only Elco (676 yards) has been singed more through the air than Ephrata. For the record, two of the Mounts' top d-backs have been injured and on the shelf; cover-corner Jeremy Kachel and safety Blake Weaver, who double-up as two of Ephrata's top offensive playmakers, have missed time. Hence Ephrata's 0-3 start, an offense that has averaged just 164.3 yards per game, and a D that gives up 332.3 yards and 36.7 points per game. Nope, Ephrata did not pick a good week to have Lebanon on the schedule.
5 — CAN PEQUEA VALLEY MAKE IT FOUR IN A ROW? When you peruse the Week 4 schedule, Pequea Valley at Elco — with all due respect to the fine folks in Kinzers and Myerstown — doesn't exactly leap off the page. But there are all kinds of fun comparing-and-contrasting numbers to study for this Section 3 opener, set for Friday at 7 p.m. at Elco. Gotta start with Pequea Valley, which is 3-0 for the first time in school history, and is two wins shy of tying the program record for most wins in a single season. That's the number the Braves are shooting for. PV's offense hasn't been breaking the bank, but has been consistent run-pass-wise, averaging 288.0 yards per game, 13th-best in the L-L. That O will be going up against an Elco D unit that has struggled; Raiders have given up 634 rushing yards and a league-high 676 passing yards for 436.7 yards against per game — dead last in the league. Elco does have a top-10 offense (332.7 yards per game, 9th-best in the league), but the Raiders are last in the L-L in turnover ratio (minus-5) with eight giveaways. That's an area where Pequea Valley has dominated the first three weeks; Braves have a league-best 11 takeaways (including 9 fumble recoveries) and are a plus-6 in turnover ratio, second-best in the league. Priority No. 1 for Pequea Valley on Friday: Keeping Elco QB Jeff Martin from getting in sync with receiver Derek Miller, who has a league-best 24 catches, while curtailing breakaway back Cameron Strause. Priority No. 1 for Elco: No giveaways and no short fields for the Braves, who have thrived there over the first three weeks. Pequea Valley 4-0? That would be a Brave new world, indeed.

Born at Weilburg (in Nassau), Germany, 25 March, 1810; died at Vienna, 17 October, 1889. He was the son of Hans Christoph von Gagern, minister of state in Nassau; he attended the gymnasiums at Kreuznach, Mannheim, and Weilburg, and studied law from 1826 at Heidelberg, Utrecht, and Göttingen. After a stay at Paris he received in 1829 a position in the cabinet of William I, King of the Netherlands. At the outbreak of the Belgian revolution (1830) he joined the Dutch army as a volunteer and took part in the war against Belgium. In 1833 he retired from the service of Holland, married Franzina Lambert, of The Hague , and took up historical studies in order to fit himself for the position of Privatdozent at Bonn University. He was at Bonn during the years 1837-40. In 1837, although still a Protestant, he sided with the imprisoned Archbishop of Cologne (see DROSTE-VISCHERING), and thus lost the favour of the Prussian Government. In 1840 he was appointed ministerial successor with the title of Legationsrat by the Duke of Nassau. On 28 August, 1843, he joined the Catholic Church. Although naturally very religious he had grown indifferent to religion during his student life and his residence in Holland. The more he realized the seriousness of life the stronger grew his religious needs. Acquaintance with Catholics and with the historian George Frederick Böhmer, who was friendly to Catholicism, awakened in him respect and veneration for the Church. The chief sources of his Catholic knowledge were, as he himself says, the "Imitation of Christ" by Thomas à Kempis, the study of Möhler's "Symbolik", and the New Testament. His conversion did not affect the favour of the Duke of Nassau who appointed him in 1844 extraordinary envoy to the Courts of the Netherlands and Belgium.
Von Gagern's labours during the revolutionary year of 1848 extended far beyond his native state. He was the centre of the efforts that aimed to mediate between the Government and the people and to reorganize the German Confederation as a nation. According to the schemes Prussia was to have the supreme direction of German affairs. With this end in view Von Gagern negotiated with the Governments of Southern Germany and with Prussia. he then took part in the debates of the preliminary parliament at Frankfort, and at the same time was one of the seventeen confidential agents of the Governments who were to aid the parliament of the Confederation in revising the constitution. He was chosen president of this committee of seventeen, but was not as prominent at the Parliament of Frankfort as his brother Heinrich whom he supported. He joined the Catholic Club. On 5 August, 1848, he was made under-secretary for foreign affairs in the imperial ministry which Archduke John, as administrator of the empire, had temporarily formed. In the question as to the constitution of Germany he worked with his brother for "little Germany " (exclusion of Austria from Germany, union of Germany under a Prussian empire). When the King of Prussia declined the imperial crown offered to him and the Parliament of Frankfort approached dissolution, Von Gagern and his party withdrew from the assembly.
In 1850 Von Gagern was again in the service of the State of Nassau, being employed as an upper ministerial clerk. He had, however, lost the confidence of the duke by his "Little Germany " policy, and influential circles looked upon the Catholic Church unfavourably. In 1854, after having been conspicuously slighted, he retired from the state service. His efforts to obtain a historical professorship at Bonn failed owing to the dislike of Protestants for converts to Catholicism. During the years 1855-73 he was in the service of Austria, first as head clerk in a ministerial department, then as departmental head in the mercantile political division of the ministry of foreign affairs. From 1860 he had also charge of the department of the press for foreign affairs, a position which gave him a deep insight into Austrian policy without, however, leading to an independent position. In 1881, eight years after his retirement on a pension, Emperor Francis Joseph made him a life member of the upper house of the imperial Austrian Parliament. His rich intellectual gifts, his honourable character, unselfish nature, and kindliness were recognized even by his political opponents. He was in addition genuinely religious, and loyally supported Catholic interests whenever possible.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

The decision at Teton High School in Driggs is a way to encourage students and the community to see beyond skin color and stereotypes, said Monte Woolstenhulm, superintendent of District 401. Motivation also came from renewed efforts nationally to change nicknames and logos deemed offensive to many Native Americans.
"Students need to be taught to see people beyond the color of their skin," said Woolstenhulm, who was a student at the school. "They need to get to know who people are without using nicknames or assumptions based on outward appearances.
Woolstenhulm expects the decision will draw some criticism, but dropping the name won initial approval from the school board earlier this week.
Last month, 10 members of Congress sent letters to the owner of the Washington Redskins NFL and the league commissioner urging the team to change the name. The letter to team owner Daniel Snyder says that "Native Americans throughout the country consider the 'R-word' a racial, derogatory slur akin to the 'N-word' among African Americans.
Snyder has vowed he will never change the nickname.
At the college level, the NCAA warned more than a dozen schools in 2005 to change American Indian nicknames or logos or face sanctions. Some have followed the warning, including North Dakota, once known as the "Fighting Sioux," while others have gotten permission from tribes to keep their names.
Meanwhile, Woolstenhulm says maintenance crews will begin removing Redskins logos and signs from around the school this summer. Uniforms for all athletic teams and cheer squads will be phased out and the school newspaper, "The War Cry," will be renamed.
The process for picking a new nickname and mascot will begin next fall, he said.
Brody Birch, school athletic director and football coach, said the decision is unfortunate for students and alumni who identified with the nickname. Though he also understands how the name can do more harm than good.
"You have people who are indifferent and then you have people (asking) 'What are we doing" Why are we caving in?" Birch said. "It's not going to change what we are at Teton High School or what our values are."

CLAYTON TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- A neighbor of the brother and sister who were shot on Monday night said she came to the aid for the two before emergency dispatchers came on scene.
Police say a 19 year old male and his 31-year-old sister were shot around 9:30 p.m. Monday at their home on Houston and Weldon in Clayton Township.
Kathy Fuller, 58, lives across the street from the home. She said she heard what she thought was firecrackers.
A few minutes later she called the 19-year-old to come over because he helps her elderly father get into bed. He picked up the phone and told her he'd been shot. She ran over to the house and found the man was bleeding profusely and had multiple gunshot wounds. He was still conscious, she said.
She went over to the woman who was not conscious and had a gunshot wound in her chest. Emergency crews arrived a short time later.
"I was like 'what do I do,'" she said. "I was really worried about (the woman). She wasn't conscious."
They are both in critical condition, but the woman is in worst shape, police said.
The one-floor white house had a car parked on the grass and garbage out in the yard near the road.
Neighbor Debbie Peterson said she was in a swimming pool with friends and heard the shots.
"We said 'jeez, if we lived in the city of Flint we would have thought it was gunshots,' but we don't live in the city so it must be firecrackers," she said. "It was kind of a shock for our little quiet neighborhood."

Bible doesn't specify
There was a letter to the editor in the Oct. 25 Mirror from Glenn Calderwood, concerning gay people.
He stated that the Bible tells us "one man, one woman."
Exactly where in the Bible is this written? I have read through the Bible and even though it can be convoluted at times, I can honestly say that I don't think marriage between a man and a woman is mentioned anywhere in it.
If someone could tell me where to look, I will do so.
There have been so many articles in the paper, so many statements made by people who quote the Bible as their source of information. People say they believe this or that because that is what God said in the Bible.
God did not write the Bible. It was written by men. Men are fallible. I have a hard time believing anything that is not backed up by fact. Just because it was written by so-called holy men does not make it true.
In the event Calderwood is unaware, I would point out that we have many gay men and women serving in the military, putting their lives on the line, some coming home in body bags.
Additionally, the church is going downhill, at least the Catholic Church, because of the many priests sexually abusing young boys, not because they have gay people in their membership.
If I could pick another period to have lived my life, I would pick the time that Jesus walked the earth. Then I would know for certain what was fiction and what was fact. If God does, in fact, exist and is not just a figment of one's imagination, why would he not use his infinite powers to create a world free of hatred and violence?
To live one's life according to what men who lived thousands of years ago wrote in a book seems a little unrealistic.
Why not just live your life and treat others as you would like to be treated? I believe that very sentiment is found somewhere in the Bible, I'm just not sure where.

When reading one of Jim Hirn's "letters to the editor," it's like watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh at the same time.
In his letter to the editor of Aug. 24, he attacks Senators Levin and Stabenaw as being "big spenders."
Then he questions President Obama's attendance at Columbia University. In doing so, he shows his lack of respect for their office by addressing them as Mr. Levin, Ms. Stabenaw, and Mr. Obama.
He says that President Obama could "clear up" the Columbia accusation by releasing his grades. I'm sure that the President would gladly do so if Governor Romney would "clear up" his financial enigma by releasing his tax returns.
I think that Mr. Hirn should watch "MSNBC" once in a while to learn the truth. They support their claims with substantiated facts and by showing actual film of speeches and interviews. Thus proving that facts "don't lie."
I think that Adlai Stevenson said it best when he stated: "If the Republicans would stop telling lies about us Democrats, we would stop telling the truth about them."
I'm sure that Mr. Hirn is a good American who is a firm believer in our Constitution. I would then ask him why the states that have Republican controlled legislatures have enacted strict voting laws that are intended to suppress the voting rights of the poor, minorities, and the elderly.
In the case of Pennsylvania, it was proven that there were no instances of voter fraud. Yet they passed their bill anyway. After the signing of the bill by the Governor, the Republican Speaker of the House said: "We have now given the state of the Pennsylvania to Mitt Romney."
I would like to hear Mr. Hirn's opinion on this travesty of justice which is a total un-American sham.

text: Wow what a treat I had waiting for me when I walked through the door tonight. The wife and baby greeted me with love as always! The wife goes Oh yea, you got a package in the mail today that I had to sign for. Low and behold my Sebenza had arrived. I had purchased this from a person on ebay that gave me a second chance offering due to the orginal buyer not paying for the item. I purchased a Large Sebenza made in 2007. I had seen several pictures of this knife and decided to really treat myself. I open the package and wow what a great built knife. I had never held one prior to buying this (I know I was taking a big chance), but I've been reading about these knives forever. The knife is in PERFECT shape, the original owner had the swedge sharpened which I actually really like. She's beautiful, riding in my pocket right now as I type this out. Happy camper right now!

Marines auxiliary group meets
