From The Oregonian of Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007 -- TriMet may add 5 MAX officers: In a tentative deal, the transit agency agrees to dedicate police to the west side
By David R. Anderson
TriMet officials have tentatively agreed to dedicate five police officers to patrol Washington County MAX light rail and other commuter lines, Hillsboro Police Chief Lila Ashenbrenner said.
Details are not final, but the transit agency would assign its five unfilled positions in the Transit Police Division to the west side, she said. It's also unclear when the positions might be filled.
The proposal appears to be responding to county law enforcement officials, who have criticized TriMet for diverting too many officers to downtown Portland and the eastside MAX.
The transit division has money for 36 officers but only has 31 working because of vacancies.
TriMet officials on Monday wouldn't comment on the proposal because it wasn't finalized, said Mary Fetsch, an agency spokeswoman. General Manager Fred Hansen said Friday that he is committed to improving security on the westside MAX.
"Having a focused police presence on the west side is very important," Hansen said.
In a speech to the City Club of Portland, Hansen proposed a 10 percent increase to the annual transit police budget of $5.2 million. That appears to be a separate proposal from the designated westside officers.
Beaverton Police Chief David Bishop has suggested a separate westside transit division of 12 officers, paid for by TriMet. He first suggested the idea in a letter to TriMet on Nov. 1, days before a pair of attacks at Gresham MAX stations that have added urgency to the discussions.
On Monday, Bishop said he had not heard of TriMet's plan for five more officers on the west side. But he said he considered it "seed money" and a "good show of faith."
"If it's four or five, that would be the beginning," Bishop said.
Local agencies, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin and sheriff's offices in Washington County and Clackamas County could supplement the five officers with additional officers they pay for, Bishop said.
Ashenbrenner credited TriMet for responding to local concerns.
"This is certainly a good-faith start to get us where we want to be," Ashenbrenner said. "It looks promising. Now it's in the fine details."
That will include who supervises the unit. Ashenbrenner said the five-officer detachment would act as a westside precinct, under the existing command structure. But Bishop has said he wants the unit supervised by local commanders, while still cooperating with the current transit division.
From The Oregonian of Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008 -- Five-person force coming to westside MAX: The board is expected to set up a special precinct to improve riders' security
By Dylan Rivera
Reacting to the growing perception that MAX train security is lax, the TriMet board today appears poised to establish a westside precinct of the transit police force, filling five officer vacancies in an effort to assure rider safety.
The officers --two each from Hillsboro and Beaverton, and one from Washington County --would spend most of their time on MAX light-rail trains and transit stations west of the Oregon Zoo station. They could begin work by the end of the month.
The added police would signal not just a boost in security but also a new level of collaboration among suburban communities and a TriMet that could change the look and feel of the light-rail system.
Stung by a stabbing and a beating at light-rail stations in November, TriMet is attempting to win over police agencies that have for years been critical of its handling of security. Over the next two years, the agency plans to add nine more officers on top of the westside effort.
It hopes to add an eastside precinct as well in coming months. More fare inspectors have been added and better lighting at transit stops has already have been implemented.
The westside precinct represents a compromise between a Washington County effort to break away from TriMet with its own transit police force and TriMet's belief that transit police should be handled by a single regional agency.
"I think it's a beginning," said Beaverton Police Chief David Bishop. "It's certainly going to be an enhancement to what we've had."
The move comes as TriMet is under fire. A 41-year old woman went to news media Tuesday to say that she had been sexually abused Dec. 24 at a Gresham MAX station and complain that neither TriMet nor Portland or Gresham police had warned the public about the attack.
Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis said the attack shows that TriMet needs to send its police attention eastward as well as to the west.
"The most recent violent attack on Christmas Eve reiterates that the line isn't safe," Bemis said. "These issues aren't happening on the west side. Why they'd be putting a westside precinct ahead of an eastside precinct to me is questionable."
The new officers represent the first of three planned increases in the number of officers in the Transit Police Division. The westside precinct would fill five vacancies, bringing the total number of officers to 36. TriMet plans to build the force to 44 by 2010, when the MAX Green Line opens along Interstate 205 in Clackamas County.
The vacancies had gone unfilled because of local police staffing shortages and also because some suburban agencies did not want to be part of TriMet's regional policing effort. TriMet pays the police salaries, and had budgeted for 36 officers this year.
Before the current precinct effort, Hillsboro police had initiated their own patrols and declined to contribute officers to the transit police.
TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen has said publicly that he wants to consider an eastside precinct as well. He said Monday that he hopes to establish one in coming weeks or "a month and a half at the longest."
It was unclear why exactly the effort for a precinct got started on the westside rather than in the Gresham area.
But pressure from westside police agencies to break away from TriMet galvanized the transit agency. At a safety summit in November in Hillsboro, Beaverton's Bishop explained the dissatisfaction police felt with TriMet and their perception that police they contribute are sent elsewhere in the TriMet system.
"I really expressed very strongly, we didn't want to see that balkanization," Hansen said. "Those were the beginning positions . . . so what we did is find common ground rather than battleground."
Hansen credited Hillsboro Police Chief Lila Ashenbrenner with easing the talks, offering up the idea of a precinct as a compromise and suggesting vacant office space her department has in the Tanasbourne area.
Police vacancies in the contributing agencies could take as long as a year to fill, said Chris Skinner, deputy chief of Hillsboro Police.
"Definitely, it is a sacrifice for us to do that, no doubt about it," said Skinner. "We're going to pull those two positions from our existing staffing. The good news is, with the funding from TriMet we'll be able to replace them down the road."
Rick Van Beveren, who represents Washington County on the TriMet board and helped negotiate the pilot precinct, said the new precinct should boost the police presence on the entire system.
"This was one way of freeing resources to be devoted on the east side," he said. "What we're saying is we're going to take care of the west side so you can deploy resources as needed elsewhere."
From The Oregonian of Thursday, Jan. 10, 2008 -- TriMet works on MAX security: The board adds westside police, questions eastside enforcement
By Brad Schmidt and Dylan Rivera
As TriMet vowed to increase the presence of police on westside MAX rail lines, the transit agency struggled Wednesday to establish its level of commitment to enforcement on lines east of the Willamette River and its policy for sharing news of violent crime.
Prodding questions from TriMet's board to the agency's staff came days after a 41-year-old woman told of being sexually assaulted at a Gresham MAX stop and complained that it went publicly unreported for two weeks. TriMet's police division arrested 28-year-old Mario Santiago-Montelongo following the Christmas Eve incident, the third high-profile transit attack in Gresham since November.
Although officers from TriMet and the Gresham Police Department responded quickly to the incident, neither agency notified the public in the coming weeks, spreading confusion about who should take responsibility and raising questions Wednesday about where such responsibility should lie.
Lynn Lehrbach, a new TriMet board member representing east Multnomah County, suggested the board delay its westside project until an eastside precinct is established. George Richardson, who represents Northeast Portland, shared similar concerns.
"I hope we're letting the public know we're addressing issues on the east side as well," Richardson said. "The public will say, 'What about the east side?' "
But the five-member TriMet board approved the hiring of five additional police officers --two from Beaverton, two from Hillsboro and one from Washington County --who will form a westside precinct to begin operating late this month or in early February.
On Monday, Gresham Police Chief Carla Piluso and TriMet officials are expected to discuss planning for an eastside precinct. In November, a 71-year-old man was beaten with a baseball bat and a 19-year-old was stabbed, both after riding MAX trains through the city.
TriMet clarified its policy on news dissemination for high-profile transit crime. TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch said it is the responsibility of law enforcement in the jurisdiction where crime occurs to notify the public, even if TriMet's police force is the primary agency responding.
The Christmas Eve incident involved Gresham police, transit police --which are funded by TriMet but are directed by the Portland Police Bureau --and later Portland investigators. Piluso said her department did not drop the ball but vowed to work with TriMet to keep the public informed.
"We need to get a communication link going to clarify that," she said.
Federal immigration authorities on Wednesday placed a hold on Santiago-Montelongo, lodged at Inverness Jail pending trial for a sex-abuse criminal charge.
The woman reiterated her frustration with how authorities released information. The Oregonian does not name victims of sexual assault, but in an interview Wednesday, the Portland resident expressed new disdain for the lack of contact she's received from TriMet.
"They haven't even called to ask me if I'm OK," she said. "There was not a single, 'How are you doing? Sorry. We're trying.' Nothing. ...
"The people who are getting hurt, I can assure you that we have ideas about how to make our transit system safer," she added. "But (TriMet officials) haven't called."
TriMet's Fetsch said the agency has not contacted the woman because she is the victim of an alleged sexual assault and her identity and contact information are protected. Fetsch noted that the district attorney assigned to the case, whose salary is paid by TriMet, has been in near-daily contact with the woman and that she could pass safety suggestions to him.
For the westside precinct -- a one-year pilot project -- office space has been found by the Hillsboro Police Department and equipment has been ordered, said board member Rick Van Beveren.
"This could be a model for an eastside precinct," said Van Beveren, who represents Washington County. "I think it's a great start."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Boom.
That's the sound of the first great non-region game that will kick off the 2014 football season. Its a match-up worthy of legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer doing the introductions.
Hoover, a two-time defending AHSAA state champion, will put a likely lofty national ranking and its school-best 30-game win streak on the line against a Metro area rival it can no longer meet in the state playoffs anymore.
That's Clay-Chalkville. The 6A Cougars have agreed to a two-year contract to face the new 7A powerhouse to open up the 2014 season. The first game of the series will be set for Thursday, Aug. 21 and it's a good teaching point for how things can be done in the AHSAA's new Class 7A world.
AHSAA schools have the ability to play 10 games over an 11-week period for their regular season. Clay-Chalkville and Hoover are both using their old "week zero" date that used to be reserved for jamborees. These teams will not be able to play a jamboree the week prior and it will be the earliest on-field scrimmage activity of any kind.
"We're going to do it," Hoover athletic director Myra Miles said. "We've been in contact with (Clay-Chalkville head football coach) Jerry (Hood) about it, and that's something we really wanted to get done. That's a great team and a great game to start the season off with."
Both teams have been rated in the Top 5 of the Alabama Sports Writers Association's Class 6A rankings for the bulk of the last four seasons. The teams were rated Nos. 1 and 2 in Class 6A for most of the last two seasons. Florence knocked off Clay-Chalkville in the second round in thrilling fashion and prevented a rematch of 2012's Class 6A semifinal that attracted a crowd so large that extra bleachers were needed at Hoover High for that game.
"That will be fun," Clay-Chalkville coach Jerry Hood said. "It will give us something to work for through spring and summer. You've got to really be sharp in 13 days to be ready to play a great team now like Hoover to open this season."
The Bucs routed Clay-Chalkville 44-20 in a contest that didn't actually measure up to the lofty pregame expectations. That said, it is still clear that both teams have had the best big school football programs in the Birmingham metro area for the last few years.
The game will be played at Hoover High because of a conflict with a softball event at The Hoover Met. The Bucs were rated as highly as No. 5 by USA Today after the 2013 season by the mainstream national polls and USA Football, Inc. actually awarded the team with its mythical public school national championship honor for the past season.
That contest is the early leader in the clubhouse for Game of the Week honors in 2014.
Hoover still needs more one game in its non-region schedule to flesh out its 2014 campaign. That would be for Week 11.It already has a road game at Colquitt County (Ga.) and old friend Rush Prospt scheduled for the second game this fall to complete a two-year contract.
Clay-Chalkville, which is in a seven-team region, now has Hoover in Week 1, Minor in Week 2 and Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa after that before opening region play with old foe Huffman during the fourth week of the schedule.
The Cougars have already lined up rival Hewitt-Trussville for its final non-region game of the 2014 season.

Hey guys,
WE're are moving to Singapore/Hong Kong next year, because of my dad's work. I'm planning to take a degree on Asian studies. But I'm not familiar with the SouthEastAsian universities. Asiaweeks' guide was so antedated.
I'm considering Singapore, Phillippines, Malaysia or Thailand.
What are the universities in those countries that offer best Asian course.
|By Arealtexan (Arealtexan) on Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 06:37 am: Edit
Do you speak the languages of the countries whose universities you are considering?
Hong Kong University teaches in English, but is fairly difficult to get into. National University of Singapore also teaches in English. In Thailand, universities instruct students in Thai. I am not entirely sure about Malaysia.
Bear in mind that the universities that do teach in English - in the Commonwealth - tend to be organised along British lines, and shy away from teaching trendy subjects like 'area studies'. HKU does offer a degree in Japanese Studies, but it is language intensive and would more properly be called a Japanese Literature degree.
|By Kimfuge (Kimfuge) on Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 07:46 am: Edit
Hey, go to South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, or Singapore...they're the most regarded countries...or perhaps you can go study @ Beijing since buisness is booming there. I know only good Korean colleges that accept international students: Seoul National University (the best and if you can get a degree from here you're most likely to get good jobs at places like Samsung, and most likely get any pretty chick in korea also), Yonsei University, Korea University, University of Foreign Studies, and KAIST-enjineering school (the best in asia).
|By Anothersuitcase (Anothersuitcase) on Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 01:29 pm: Edit
No doubt the University of the Philippines (better known as UP) teaches in English. Ateneo is also a highly regarded college, though smaller in terms of population, I believe, than UP. I don't know how either schools' Asian Studies departments are, but you can be sure any university or college in the Philippines teaches in English.

FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts -- The Princeton Review's annual survey of the nation's colleges and universities is out and it paints a pretty clear picture of southern schools:
Heavy on partying, light on studying.
Ole Miss and Tulane made the list of top 20 "Party Schools," joined by other southern stalwarts Florida, Florida State and Georgia. Syracuse took the top spot.
(Note: the report doesn't indicate if Tulane's Edgewater Mall campus is included).
Unsurprisingly, southern schools also dominated the list of "Jock Schools," with Auburn at #1, followed by Missouri (4), Florida State (6), Florida (11), Tennessee (17) and South Carolina (18).
The Princeton Review has been compiling these rankings since 1992 and publish them each year in a book "The Best 379 Colleges." The rankings are based on surveys from 130,000 students across the country and cover everything from academics to which school had the worst on-campus food (that's the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in New York, by the way).
There were rankings both surprising and unsurprising -- Brigham Young University was ranked as the "Most Religious School," but Auburn was 12th on that same list (so THAT's how they beat Alabama).
Vanderbilt University had the "Happiest Students," with Tulane (4th) and Auburn (20th) also on that list. The "Least Happy Students" belonged to Marywood University in Pennsylvania. At number four on the list of "Least Happy Students" was the University of Hawaii.
Seriously? Hawaii?
Ole Miss earned the #8 ranking among the schools with the "Most Beautiful Campus," while Xavier in New Orleans, Tennessee and the University of New Orleans made the "Least Beautiful Campus" list.
The "Best Quality of Life" list included Tulane at #6, Vanderbilt at #10, Loyola University in New Orleans at #16 and Auburn at #17.
Also ranked were schools that were either the "Most LGBT Friendly" or "Least LGBT Unfriendly."
Unsurprisingly, Christian schools dominated the "Least LGBT Friendly" list, led by College of the Ozarks. Also on that list were Notre Dame, along with southern schools Auburn, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Ole Miss.
At number five on the "Least LGBT Friendly" list was Hampton-Sydney College in Virginia. It's an all-male school.
Stanford was listed as the "Most LGBT Friendly" school. No southern schools made that list.
Another list, called "Reefer Madness" ranked the top schools for marijuana use. Of little surprise was the inclusion of several schools from Colorado and Washington, where recreational marijuana use has been legalized.
The top-ranked school for getting stoned, however, was the appropriately-named Skidmore College in New York, with Eckerd College in Florida in second.
Schools where hard liquor is the drink of choice included the University of Iowa at number one, Tulane (4th), Georgia (5th) and Florida (15th). Top beer-drinking schools included Florida, Florida State and Georgia.
Obviously, Florida and Georgia students don't care what it is, they'll drink it.
Then there were two lists which ranked the schools where "Students Study the Least" and "Students Study the Most."
Ole Miss was the runner-up to Monmouth University in New Jersey on the "study the least" list, which also included UNO, South Carolina and Florida State.
No schools south of the Mason-Dixon line made the "study the most" list.

The victim was expected to survive, LBPD's Nancy Pratt told CNS. (We have a call into her too.)
Photographer Stephen Carr has been reporting from the scene via Twitter: He says that the suspect was known to neighbors as a hoarder whose mother had recently died.
From his descriptions, including Carr's report that a Volkswagen was being towed from the residence, we found these Google Maps photos that appear to show the home.

[Added at 1:01 p.m.]: Pratt of Long Beach police tells us code enforcers were there with cops at about 7:50 a.m. to serve an inspection warrant that would have allowed them to go on the property and start a clean-up effort without the owner's permission. Pratt:
We [police] were accompanying them because this location has been a problem for them in the past.
One inspector was shot in the head, she says, and sustained a non-life-threatening wound.
It's not clear if cops returned fire, but she says that the suspect has been popping off shots pretty much during the whole standoff, Pratt said.
Some neighbors have been evacuated and others were warned via reverse 911 calls to "stay inside and keep doors and windows locked," she says.
LBPD Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters at the scene that the residence has been a known "blighted location" for the last few years.
[Update at 3:34 p.m.]: City News Service reports that, after officers sent a K9 unit's dog into the home, the suspect surrendered. That happened at about 2:30 p.m.

What Happens If The Economy Collapses?
I was asked what would happen if the economy collapses, and the answer is not one that most people want to hear. I say this because everything in America revolves around the almighty dollar. We work hours for it, or we receive it for free from the government. People beg in the streets for it, and we use it as entertainment in the casinos. The truth is that there is not one single thing we, as a nation do, that is not associated with money. Without the exchange of currency the greatest economy the world has ever known would come crashing down with a thud loud enough it will echo into the next century. If you are wondering what will happen if the economy collapses I could easily write an article about how Washington D.C. would react, or what would happen during the death flush of the dollar, as it died and retreated from the world stage….but I will not. What I want to do is write about what will happen to you, the reader of this article because what would happen if the economy collapses would become very personal…very quickly.
The end of The United States Economy may very well start in California. I say this because they are on a crash course of spending beyond their means and Washington will simply tell The Fed to print more money, and soon the flushing of America will begin. For the sake of convenience this story will evolve quickly and it will start with you hearing the story in the background, on a radio that talks about how California will no longer be able to meet their obligations. We will be told that the default of the California would be catastrophic to America, and the citizens will hear nothing but this on the daily news until the prevention of a failure is ingrained into the mindset of Americans. Washington will come rushing in to bail them out and somewhere along the path towards our economies destruction there will be digital truckloads of money handed over to stabilize the situation in California. The collapse of our economy will have begun…but the masses will merely shake their heads and head off to work like they have done for years not knowing that their entire existence on this planet is about to change. California will only be the first of the bail outs for the states…but the process of America spiraling towards financial disaster will have begun.
The birds will chirp, the sun will still rise…but because America can't control its urge to "print" money, the price for "stuff" will start to rise because of the all-encompassing word "inflation." The dollar will start to buy less and less at the gas pumps, soon to be followed by meat becoming so expensive it will become increasingly a challenge for a family to afford to have it on their menu. Utility bills will creep up and the rise in cost of other basics will be met with yet an other round of news stories that are only static in the background of our day. Without going into the reasoning behind inflation… the dollar will simply lose its purchasing power and the word "hyper-inflation" will join the daily newscasts, and yet Americans will still faithfully march off to work everyday.
Then it will happen. You will hear of a day on the stock market that will have everyone talking about how it is just like a few years ago….or how much money they are losing. The average American will yet again be glad that the sudden decline of the market does not affect their life…and yet again…they will march off diligently to work and their daily life.
As the days turn into weeks we will hear the news more and more about how the economy took a huge hit and whose fault it was and why…and yet the full impact of what is going on will still not have hit the average American who is still grumbling about how expensive everything is becoming because of inflation. So…to quell the masses we will hear yet ANOTHER story on the news about how The Fed has decided to print yet more only…and this time the amount being "printed" will be staggering and unprecedented. Life will still go on and prices will start to rise yet again.
Who knows how fast, or how slow it will happen…but the term "hyper-inflation" will now be part of our vocabulary so let's explore what this really will mean to the average person just trying to keep food on the table for the family. To understand what this term means let's look at the basic definition;
In economics, hyperinflation occurs when a country experiences very high, accelerating, and perceptibly "unstoppable" rates of inflation. In such a condition, the general price level within an economy rapidly increases as the currency quickly loses real value.
Note the phrase "unstoppable" because that is what happens before the next and vital moment in the death knoll of our economy. What will then happen is that the value of the dollar will plunge, which makes the cost of everyday items too expensive to purchase anything. A loaf of bread could cost $50.00, or a can of corn could be so much money that to afford a single meal would rapidly become out of reach for the millions of unprepared Americans. Hyper-inflation will set in and the economy of America will begin the death spiral towards a point that revenue for the government will cease, because nobody will be able to afford to buy anything. Once the tax revenue ceases for the government…the total end of society, as we know it will have arrived. The similarities of what is happening now is alarming when compared to history. A perfect example is Prewar Germany in the early 1900's, when the common citizen could use a wheel barrel to carry their cash to buy a loaf of bread. When that crisis hits the American currency there will only be only two things a person will be able to do;
- Wait for relief and support from the government that caused the problem
- Live off the items that they stockpiled in preparation for the crisis
I know that many people think I am weird, or I am a conspiracy theorist…but I really do not care. If I am wrong and nothing ever happens I will simply have a house full of the vital things needed to live my life. Whether it be an economic crisis, or a world war, or a simple plague that alters the face of society….I will be ready and if I am wrong….who cares. I just know that if something were to happen at this very moment I will be as ready as possible.
What I ask you to do is quietly walk around your home right now and take inventory of what you have and what you will need to survive if there was no chance of replenishment. How long would you be able to meet the requirements for your loved ones for the basics of food, water and shelter? How long would it have to be before you would be forced to go out into a society in turmoil, and stand in line for a meal? How long could you sustain life for your "clan" if there were no such thing as currency, and what would you need to do to survive?
America, as a whole has never really dealt with a crisis from coast to coast simultaneously. What I have seen by the government's reaction to isolated events like Katrina and Sandy offer me little hope of a government that will be able to take care of my loved ones, so that is why I prepare. What happens if the economy collapses is something you should at least question, and if you think it could never happen to you….and those you love…..then you are a fool.
One last question?
Are you a fool?

Harry Potter, the British boy wizard created by author J.K. Rowling in her famous series of books, is known for casting a spell. But can his powers over young people magically revive the lost hobby of stamp collecting? The U.S. Postal Service sincerely hopes so.
Now, the U.S. Postal Service's inspector general is seeking public opinion about the recently released Harry Potter stamps as a test of how Americans feel about a new commercial direction for postage.
The Washington Post reports that Inspector General David Williams is asking stamp fans to weigh in on its blog on the effort to market stamp images that focus on a younger audience in hopes of reaching beyond traditional collectors and generating sales.
"Stamp collecting is seen by some as a dying hobby, as fewer young Americans participate," Williams's office said Monday on the inspector general's blog.
Indeed, the dark dilemma facing the Postal Service is of epic, Harry Potter-like proportions: How does it stay relevant among a generation that doesn't really think too often about stamps or even hard copy communications?"
Background according to the Washington Post: The newspaper first reported that the choice of Harry Potter by the Postal Service's new marketing team had brought attention to an ongoing battle between the marketers and a committee of high-powered cultural figures that has recommended images for new stamps for half a century. The staff bypassed the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee in choosing Harry Potter, as it has for several other stamps.
But there is a brewing debate between traditionalists who believe literary subjects and other cultural figures should grace new stamps, and modernists who are leaning toward commercial images that have the potential to bring the money-losing Postal Service more revenue.
So what do you think?
Cast your vote on whether the Harry Potter stamp marks the right direction for a revived Postal Service.
Or is no amount of magic going to save this turkey?
Tell us in the comments.

A bookkeeper for a Fruitport manufacturer has been charged with embezzling $236,000 and the company has also sued the woman and her husband, a championship-winning high school soccer coach, to get the money back.
Jennifer Ann Prince, 37, of 1420 Porter, was arraigned Tuesday before 60th District Judge Michael J. Nolan. She is the wife of Muskegon Catholic Central's varsity soccer coach Adam Prince.
She is charged with felony embezzlement of $100,000 or more from Industrial Assemblies Inc. (IAI), of Fruitport Township, a retail equipment maker.
Prince and her husband also are listed as defendants in a civil lawsuit filed Sept. 23 in 14th Circuit Court. Adam Prince is not charged with any crime.
The lawsuit seeks restitution of "damages in excess of $25,000" on the behalf of the company. The case has been assigned to Judge Timothy G. Hicks.
"We have reason to believe that Mr. Prince knew his wife was obtaining sizable amounts of money without any kind of adequate or logical explanation," said the company's attorney, Bruce Rissi, of Scholten Fant in Grand Haven.
The Chronicle was unsuccessful in attempts to contact Prince's attorney.
The lawsuit contends in part that Jennifer Prince stole "at least $235,641.46," and that the couple acted in a "civil conspiracy" to embezzle and convert the company's property for their own benefit and to conceal their actions from the company.
Jennifer Prince is listed as the secretary for the Muskegon Catholic Central High School Family Association for 2008-2009. The organization is similar to a parent-teacher organization.
She is free on a $50,000 surety bond posted by her parents, according to the court file. Preliminary examination has been set for 11 a.m. on Oct. 14.
Adam Prince is a lay coach at Muskegon Catholic Central and not a school staff member.
This year's Muskegon Catholic soccer team is ranked No. 4 in the state in Division 4. Prince coached previously at Western Michigan Christian High School, where his teams finished state runners-up in 1999 and 2000, and then won back-to-back state championships in 2003 and 2004.
Scott Hanson, president of IAI, said Jennifer Prince had worked for the company as a bookkeeper and was in charge of accounts payable and accounts receivable.
Her employment began in April 2007, he said. The criminal court file indicates the alleged embezzlement occurred from April 1, 2007, through Sept. 19, 2008.
Fruitport Township Detective Bruce Morningstar said company records reflect that she wrote multiple checks to herself, some for almost $30,000 each.
"We're still investigating where all the money went," Morningstar said. "It's a very time-consuming investigation."
Hanson said the reason for alleged theft was "greed, 100 percent greed. She used the money for expensive cars, clothes and vacations." Morningstar declined comment on the motives.
Jennifer Prince allegedly wrote checks to herself and then put a supplier's name in the ledger, Hanson said.
"We're devastated," Hanson said. "We've been struggling for a year trying to figure out where we were losing money. We've been telling people no raises, no bonuses."
He said he will have to tell his 35 employees that there will be no Christmas bonus this year. "We're a very healthy business. That's how this got swept under the rug. We have a large cash flow. She was able to siphon it off to where it was just under the radar," Hanson said.
Hanson said the alleged embezzlement was discovered by his bank. The company manufactures retail fixtures, such as displays and cash register stands.

Name: DeAndre Woods
High School/Hometown:
(Pinson, Alabama)
Height/Weight: 6-3/215
Position: Wide receiver
2012 Season Recap: 39 catches for 654 yards and seven touchdowns. Clay-Chalkville went 10-0 and 12-2 on the field over the last two seasons with Woods as one of the team's go-to receivers.
He's been an impact receiver for the Cougars and coach Jerry Hood since his sophomore season.
Recruiting Rankings:
247Sports: 3 stars, No. 57 WR, No. 19 state
ESPN: 4-stars, No. 23 position, No. 9 state
Rivals: 3-stars, No. 62 wide receiver, No. 19 in Alabama
Scout: 3-stars, No. 162 wide receiver
Honors & Awards:
Woods was named to the Birmingham News All-North East team in 2012 as a first-team wide receiver. He was also a 2011 Birmingham News All-Metro first-team selection in 2011 after catching 10 touchdown passes during his junior year.
The Alabama Sports Writers Association also named him to the Class 6A All-state team as an honorable mention wide receiver after his junior season.
He had originally committed to Mississippi State but decommited after a coaching change at his position and landed with Vanderbilt.
Potential Impact: Woods is a big and aggressive receiver who enjoys competition and physical play. He played his best football this season in perhaps the biggest game in a state semifinal loss on the road at Hoover.
He will add size and intelligence to the Vanderbilt receiving corps and upgrade the type of athlete and body that the SEC up-and-comer is used to fielding at the position. That's something that Vanderbilt coaches stressed during his recruitment that they were looking to do with the type of athlete they had at the depth chart at that position.
He's been told he will be an outside receiver at Vanderbilt.
Scout's Take: The "Scouting Report" feature on his ESPN prospect profile page provided the following analysis:
Woods is a very good outside receiver who can stretch the field with his combination of size and speed. He has a physically developed build at this stage. He is a long strider who is able to eat up the cushion on defenders in a hurry.
Clay-Chalkville coach Jerry Hood's take: "He's one of the top two receivers I've ever had for sure. His size is a matchup problem for other people and that's going to serve him well in college. He's an unbelievable kid, a good student and he's kind of the bar for Clay-Chalkville for what we want our kids to be."
"He's an outstanding recruit for Vanderbilt and he's going to lead the way at Vanderbilt and be a great ambassador for their football program just like he was at Clay-Chalkville."

Almost six months after the Saucon Valley teachers' contract expired, the school board and the union are still negotiating.
The Saucon Valley Education Association and the school board have been meeting for months and exchanging proposals.
"We are still meeting," said Jeffrey Sultanik, the board's solicitor for negotiations. "We are still bargaining."
Sultanik said talks are not far enough along to reveal the substance of the bargaining. Another negotiation session is scheduled for Jan. 22.
"I would not say we have anything concrete at this point," said Jim Colbert, the association's chief negotiator.
No deadline for an agreement has been set and another teacher strike is not a concern at this point, he said.
Negotiations between the district and the association in recent years have been contentious, with three strikes in four years.
Teachers first hit the picket lines in 2005 for one day and then for six days in 2008 and 12 days in 2009.The last contract was approved in December 2009 and expired June 30, 2012. It cost the district $50 million and includes annual raises of 3.525, 3.625, 3.725 and 3.825 percent, a 0.025 percent increase from the school board's final contract offer.
Teacher salaries are frozen at the 2011-12 salary until a new contract is approved. Employees will have to pay their health benefit premiums based on the plan they have selected until a new deal is inked.

Cantwell stops in Auburn, vowing to put more people to work
U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell's reelection campaign stopped in Auburn on a soggy Friday morning, joining a spirited rally with union leaders, machinists and aerospace workers huddled at the IAM Local 751 Hall.
"We need to invest in people," Cantwell (D-Wash.) told the crowd. "I will do whatever it takes to put people back to work."
The rally included remarks from union leaders and Democratic candidates locked in state races as they head for the stretch run in a key Nov. 6 general election.
Cantwell's Auburn visit was part of a 26-stop "Jobs for Washington Tour" that began Wednesday night in Yakima.
Cantwell, who seeks a third term in office, is heavily favored to retain her seat in Congress against Republican challenger Michael Baumgartner, a state senator from Eastern Washington. Cantwell has a 58-35 percent cushion over the Spokane man in the latest Washington Poll, and a fundraising advantage of at least ten-to-one.
At the rally, Cantwell says she is working to ensure that more aerospace jobs remain in Washington. She vows to develop apprenticeships and job training programs to enhance a skilled work force in the industry.
Cantwell also intends to make money available for small businesses that want to hire. The senator wants to do the job of putting more Washingtonians and returning veterans back to work.
Washington state is home to 37,000 unemployed veterans, of which 7,000 are post-9-11 veterans, according to figures from Cantwell's team.
Cantwell recently helped sponsor legislation that would provide veterans with access to job training and workforce opportunities for the next five years to help them transition to the civilian workforce.
One of those veterans, Andrew Dennis, spoke at the rally. Dennis, who served with the Army in Iraq, recovered from injuries and found work at Boeing as a machinist on the 787 Dreamliner assembly line in Everett. He tearfully credited programs associated with his return to civilian life and personally thanked Cantwell for her work to help vets.

followed the instructions provided and that's it!
The repair descripition was accurate. The difficult part was getting the old switch out. It has a release clip that is hard to reach. It took several tries and a bit of force to get the old part to release from the cabinet.In stalling the new part was easer that the instructions explaned. There was no need to split the original plug. I unplugged the old switch, plugged in the new and snapped it into place. 30 seconds after I started the reinstall it was in the cabinet and working
Very simple. Matched female plugs with respective male color coded prong; pushed together then inserted unit in slot of freezer sidewall and rotated into position...job done.
We unplugged the refrigerator, used a knife to pry out the old switch. Cut the extra prong off of the new switch and connected the switch to the wire connectors. Slid the switch back into place plugged the refrigerator back into the outlet and . . . . . . Wah, lah, the light and switch worked again. We washed and then simply slid the vegetable crisper into the holder and replaced the one that had broken. This was a really great experience and it was quick and easy to fix on our own.!

The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

Yoko Ono Awarded Germany's Highest Human Rights Medal
from Artlyst
Yoko Ono has accepted the German human rights prize for peace activism, the Rainer Hildebrandt Medal at Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie Museum. The museum is situated next to the Cold War border crossing which was an iconic symbol of political suppression. The lifetime achievement award was given for her recent work highlighting equality for women and LGBT issues, as well as for the work she created with her late husband, John Lennon. Ono, who is 80 in February, flashed a peace sign as she thanked the jury. "I'm very honoured to get this award and I will consider this award as an encouragement to do more work in humanitarian causes," she stated.
The Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt Medal is an international human rights award set up by Alexandra Hildebrandt in 2004 to commemorate the 90th birthday of her late husband, Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt, the founder of the Mauermuseum – Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. The award is given annually in recognition of extraordinary, non-violent commitment to human rights and is conferred on the birthday of Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt (* 14.12.1914 – † 09.01.2004) to mark International Human Rights Day.
The Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt Medal was designed by Prof. Matthias Koeppel.
Hildebrandt was born in 1914 to the art historian Professor Hans Hildebrandt and his artist wife Lily. Initially studying Physics, Hildebrandt later moved to Berlin and obtained a doctorate in Psychology. During the Second World War he was involved with those criticising and resisting the Nazi regime, and as such was imprisoned twice by the Gestapo for a total period of seventeen months. It was the execution of his best friends by the Gestapo that really strengthened Hildebrandt's resolve to dedicate the rest of his life to the fight for human rights and freedom.
After the war in 1948 he set up the Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichheit, a non-political organisation that sought to expose human rights abuses where and when they occurred. One of the organisation's main focuses was the campaign to expose the truth about post-war Soviet NKVD camps on East German territory. The organisation also helped to search for and locate persons missing or displaced from Eastern Europe in the turbulent early post-war years, passing on about 900,000 names to the German Red Cross at the end of the 1950s. One such victim was the Swedish humanitarian and diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg, who saved around 100,000 Jews from almost certain death in Nazi-occupied Hungary. Af-ter the Soviet's took over Hungary, Wallenberg was arrested and deported to Moscow in early 1945. After this all traces of him disappeared and it is unknown whether he died in captivity or was executed. Hildebrandt and the Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichkeit were one of the main organisations involved in the quest to find his whereabouts, along with other internationally renowned figures such as Albert Einstein and Andrei Sakharov. Wallenberg and his work are remembered in the Museum's ground floor exhibition.
It was the building of the Berlin Wall on August 13th 1961 that stirred Hildebrandt to set up the Mauermuseum, which still stands today, a symbol of his commitment to human rights and freedom. For an activist like Hildebrandt, the construction of this barrier was an intolerable action that went beyond injustice and cruelty. He simply could not sit by and watch this terrible manifestation of inhumanity take hold without some form of response, so a year later on October 19th 1962 he opened his museum. It was on the corner be-tween Wolliner Straße and Bernauer Straße, facing outwards into East Berlin territory, and its exhibition sought to shed light on the Berlin Wall as well as the regime hiding behind it. The Museum's two and a half rooms soon however proved too small for the number of visitors they were daily welcoming, so half a year later on June 14th 1963 Hildebrandt opened a bigger exhibition on Friedrichstraße, right next door to Checkpoint Charlie.
As the years went by, and the Wall remained, the Museum became a centre for all those fighting against it. Escape organisers set up base in the museum's cafe, often lending a hand with new placards and information displays. Later these people donated artefacts that had been used in some of the successful escapes, such as chairlifts, ladders, petrol tanks, welding machines, and canoes. When the Wall finally came tumbling down on November 9th 1989, the museum decided to continue with its exhibition, so that the world would never forget what happens when we allow those who govern us to divide us.The museum has been there ever since and this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Yoko Ono picks up German human rights prize at Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie Museum
from ArtDaily
Yoko Ono on Friday accepted a German human rights prize for peace activism with her late husband, Beatle John Lennon, as well as her more recent work championing equality for women and gays.
Ono, who will turn 80 in February, picked up the Rainer Hildebrandt Medal at Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie Museum next to the former Cold War border crossing. Wearing a black top hat and trouser suit, she gave a two-fingered peace sign as she thanked the jury. "I'm very honoured to get this award and I will consider this award as an encouragement to do more work in humanitarian causes," she said.
Hildebrandt, who died in 2004, founded the museum to document daring attempts by East Germans living under communism to escape over the Berlin Wall and in protest against the regime's shoot-to-kill policies. His widow Alexandra handed Ono the prize, which was selected by a jury she said included German President Joachim Gauck, former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher.
"Since the early days of her career, and in addition to her music and conceptual art, Yoko Ono has always drawn attention for her political statements and her fight for peace and human rights," the jury said. "She is a great proponent of gender equality, and is committed to world peace and the recognition of same-sex partnerships."
Previous winners include jailed Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky and assassinated Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. The Tokyo-born artist — raised in both Japan and the United States in a well-off family of bankers — became a global icon when she married the rocker from Liverpool. Since her Montreal honeymoon with Lennon, during which the couple called for peace from their marital bed, Ono has used her celebrity to raise awareness for causes. In 2002, she launched the "LennonOno" grant for peace in Iceland, given every two years.
In honour of Ono's 80th birthday, the Schirn Kunsthalle in the western German city of Frankfurt will present a retrospective of her work from February.

2009 Stonewall 'stonewalls' marriage equality
In 2009, Stonewall under the leadership of Ben Summerskill, came under criticism for its continued lack of support for equal marriage.
Stonewall was first notably criticised in 2009, when Ben Summerskill was questioned whether he or not supported same-sex marriage. He said: "Well, someone people do and they're perfectly entitled to express their views.
"We are one of many, many organisations but at the end of the day, in terms of our priorities, what we've always focused on, is absolutely practical hard outcomes which make a real difference to people's lives…The reality is half the population already call Civil Partnerships marriage anyway."
Mr Summerskill's comments were criticised by two of Stonewall's co-founders: Michael Cashman MEP, wrote an op-ed for PinkNews entitled "What part of 'equality' can't Stonewall understand?", and Sir Ian McKellen stated that Stonewall should put marriage equality on their agenda.
Mr Summerskill defended his comments at the Labour Party conference a week later after LGBT Labour activists criticised Stonewall's lack of transparency and democracy, and failure to lobby for marriage.
He stated that "Stonewall has never pretended to be a democratic member organisation. We have never said we speak for all lesbian, gay and bisexual people."
In the face of pressure from the LGBT community, including the PinkNews survey finding that 98% of the LGBT community wanted the right to marry, Stonewall finally announced in October 2010 their support for same-sex marriage.
2011 New support, new opposition, and the 'Equal Love' campaign →

"I think they were just being nasty to be honest," he told FOX Sports' Keith Bulluck and Alex Marvez. "I love Tennessee. I love my fans. But at the end of the day I think they did me wrong. I don't know whether it was, 'We're going to get revenge on you for holding out' when I held out the whole (2011) training camp or whatever, but I feel like they already knew they were going in a different direction. ... They weren't right, but God don't like ugly so it all worked out for the best."
Johnson also seemed to address why he joined the Jets -- they have a similar philosophy to the the Titans squad he was a part of.
"Going back to my rookie year in Tennessee, we had a real good defense and we liked to run the ball," he said. "That was a winning formula we had over there. I can kind of see this team as being the same type of team."
And here's the great news for Jets fans after he ran for just 1,077 yards and had a career-worst 3.9 yards per carry -- he has revenge on his mind, especially with the Jets visiting Tennessee in Week 15.
I'm going to make them regret letting me go," he said. "They're going to regret it -- trust that."

By this point in the Tour, the fatigue is really starting to show on the riders and staff. And, as I mentioned earlier in the week, the impact of not having of an individual time trial at this point in the race has added to the normal Tour fatigue. Normally, having an extra time trial thrown in in the first two weeks would have given us a little more time between the big stages. To make matters worse, we normally would be looking forward to a rest day on Monday, but even that has been pushed back until Wednesday, giving us an extra two days of racing to get through before the break. For me personally, I'm tired of course, but my main problem now is to take care of the hamstring issue that started Thursday. The normal rest day on Monday would have really helped me at this point, but that's the difference between Tour and any other race — it will find any weak link in your body and destroy it, so it's all about survival and keeping everything taped together!
Now, on to today's stage — it was an EPIC ONE! The first 13 miles were the only flat roads that we would see all day. From that point on, the race profile did no justice to what we were going to be experiencing during the day. The attacks were brutal during the first 13 miles of the stage, and after that they were simply inhumane. Once again, we had six guys from the team jumping with everything that moved.
Normally, the road goes down after the KOM, but today it kept going, with either false flat or climbing for some time after. The team missed one attack that we needed to cover, so Lance, Jani, Popo, and Paulinho rode like crazy together on the front to bring it back. I was still toast, so there was no way I could get to the front and help. Instead, I did the next best thing — I found the first Caisse d'Epargne rider in the group and latched on to his wheel. I thought for sure he would attack as soon as our boys brought the break back, and I was right. Just as the guys brought the break back, he took off with me right on his wheel.
That was the last attack I could follow, and on the next long climb at around 50 miles into the race, all I could do was hold on to the wheel in front of me. Over the radio the riders and Johan were all calling for more help at the front, and help arrived just in time from Klodi. His original job was to do nothing until the finish, but now he had to jump into the action, and did so just in time! Vino attacked, and his move created an 18-man break that included Klodi — thank God!
From there on to the finish, the pace was still full gas, with Saxo-Bank riding hard on the front. They couldn't let the break get too much time since there were several highly placed riders in it who could possibly threaten their race lead. But for the time being, I could just follow the wheel in front of me. On the last 2-mile climb straight up to the finish, I would be able to sit up and ride it in easy to the finish — or at least that's what I thought!
When we hit the climb, I just let the front group go, settling into my own rhythm. Soon, I started picking off riders one by one that had gone over their limit and blown. By the top, I had caught up to what I thought was the last Caisse d'Epargne rider left at the front. Levi had done his job by staying near the leaders, saving his fight for the GC, and Klodi continued riding hard up the climb after riding all day in the break, finishing just ahead of me. It was a great team effort to take over the team classification lead, in a battle that took 100 percent from every rider.
Now it's back to the Game Ready to keep working on the hamstring, since there are a lot of hard miles still to come!

5-star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil is the best offensive lineman in the recruiting class of 2013—ranked as the No. 1 overall offensive tackle by the 247Sports composite rankings—and considering that he's not yet made a commitment, he's arguably the most sought after o-lineman in the country as well.
As it stands, it's a tight race for Tunsil, with Alabama and Georgia fighting for the lead—according to his 247Sports interest list—and eventually, probably his commitment.
It's actually such a close recruiting battle in fact, that Tunsil himself can't distinguish between the two to name a leader, according to Thomas Goldkamp of 247Sports:
The five-star tackle couldn't name a leader between Alabama and Georgia, who have held steady in Tunsil's top two in front of Florida State.
"It's too even," he said.
Eventually one of these two SEC powerhouses is going to have to find an edge for the 6'6'', 295-pound tackle, so let's examine this from the Georgia Bulldogs' point of view. How do they separate themselves from the Crimson Tide?
What's the best way to show a recruit that your program is the better option? Go out and beat the other school on the field with the college football world watching and the SEC title on the line.
Texas A&M started it, but Georgia needs to finish the job if the two programs meet in the SEC championship.
As effective as that win would be, Georgia also has a fallback strategy. If beating Alabama isn't enough, or if they can't beat 'Bama, they do hold one more trump card in their hand.
Alabama has four offensive lineman committed for 2013 so far, three of which are offensive tackle recruits. While Tunsil would be the most talented of the the group by far, Georgia could use 'Bama's 2013 depth chart as a talking point against the Crimson Tide.
Where will Tunsil commit?
It's a very close race between these two programs for Tunsil, but Georgia can separate themselves by beating the Crimson Tide if they matchup in the SEC championship, and by pointing out the crowd Alabama has at tackle within their 2013 class.
It may be a small advantage, but it's an advantage none the less.
