It has been a long road for the current Warren County Habitat for Humanity housing project.
Begun in 2010, Habitat's seventh project house was put on hold because of a cold winter. The construction work was done by the Building Construction class at the Warren County Career Center in the parking lot below the school. The winter was so cold that the school wouldn't allow the students to work in an unheated space.
Priscilla Breese, public relations coordinator for the local Habitat group, noted that the project has had a series of delays, the latest being difficulties in arranging transport to the future location on Buchanan Street in Warren. A truck was scheduled to move the house on Wednesday, Oct. 2, but misunderstandings in state licensing procedures have delayed the move again.

Students from the Career Center built a house, under the supervision of Building Construction teacher Greg Waterman. Banners were hung on both sides of the house last week prior to a planned move to Buchanan Street. In front from left are Patrick Connacher, Gary Walton, Rae Davids and Grant Gates. In the back from left are Ben Madigan, Cade Hefferman, Gregg Blair, Amanda Dallas, Calvin Sutton and Jake Courtney.

Habitat volunteers are reluctant to predict when the house will actually be moved because of the ongoing delays.
She said, "This has been a real learning experience for us and we have learned a lot about making the second house move go more smoothly. This has been a tremendous amount of work on the part of people who have full-time jobs in addition to their volunteer time."
Warren Police Chief Ray Zydonik discussed some of the logistics of the move, saying that PennDOT permits will need to be secured in advance, laying out the route the driver intends to travel.
There will also be parking restrictions along the route, requiring the notification of residents. Buchanan Street, the straightest route, would need to be blocked off for the move.
"We've asked to be contacted at least a week in advance of the move. We will need to get (Department of) Public Works involved," and have the Times Observer print information for the public, he said.
Bob Kane, construction supervisor for Habitat, noted that the Warren City Police Department, Public Works and Building Code Enforcement assistance has been invaluable.
Greg Waterman, the class instructor and board member for the organization, said the three-bedroom, one bathroom house still needs some work, including interior trim, installation of a heating system and door installation on the "marriage wall." The marriage wall divides the house in half, so the two parts can be separated for transport.
The roof will also be lowered for clearance before the move.
Kane added that some plumbing and electrical work also remains to be done once the house is on the new foundation.
Waterman noted that as many as 60 students from all four county high schools have worked on the project. Some have said they would be willing to volunteer to help finish the job after the house has been moved.
Breese said the family that has been selected for the house will need to put in at least "two hundred hours of sweat equity before they can occupy their new home."
She added that once all conditions have been met, there will be a dedication ceremony to hand over the keys to the new homeowners.
Kane said, "Habitat is a Christian-based organization and is an enjoyable group of people to work with. The construction of these houses currently involves a small core group of volunteers that have been willing to help on a regular basis."
"We are in need of additional experienced people and/or companies to help, in addition to our regular volunteer crew and the new crew members," he added.
In particular, a volunteer coordinator with construction experience is needed to let volunteers know what needs to be done. He added that some of the volunteer work does not necessarily involve physical construction work.
Habitat for Humanity began in Warren in 1994, and their first house was completed in 1997. The organization currently has two properties that have been donated for future projects, one in Warren and another in Clarendon.
Kane said the best way to get information or to volunteer is through the group's website, habitatwarrenpa.org, or by calling 814-706-9956.

Lloyd Rayney's defence yesterday continued to attack the integrity of the police handling of two liquidambar seed pods taken from the hair of his murdered wife Corryn.
To questions, forensics officer Sen. Const. Scott Walker agreed it appeared a bag the pods were in may not have been properly sealed against contamination.
He also had difficulty explaining to Mr Rayney's wilful murder trial why he believed so strongly that he broke an official seal on the bag when showing the pods to scientists, despite a photo showing the first time it was sealed was after this examination.
Sen. Const Walker's recollection of events at the WA Herbarium on August 20, 2007 came as defence lawyer David Edwardson continued questioning police handling of the two pods.
The Supreme Court has been told the two spiky one-inch pods were found during an autopsy on August 17, 2007 - 10 days after Mrs Rayney's estranged husband allegedly killed her and the day after she was exhumed from a bush grave in Kings Park.
The prosecution claims the pods became tangled in Mrs Rayney's hair as her body was dragged outside the couple's Como home where there is a liquidambar tree. It claims soil particles in one pod matched soil in the yard.
The defence this week challenged evidence about how the pods were found, noting no photos were taken of them "in situ" in her hair.
Mr Edwardson asked Sen. Const. Walker whether the pods' exhibit bag was sealed properly with evidence tape.
The officer said he was sure that, in line with his statement and running sheet, he broke an existing seal when he showed the pods to botanical experts and applied a new seal afterwards bearing the date and his name.
A photo taken later of the bag shows the earliest seal was the one he applied that day.
Sen. Const Walker agreed it looked as if the bag was not sealed before he took it to the scientists but said there might have been another sealed container inside the bag. The bag was still being located yesterday.
Sen. Const. Deborah Freegard testified she was present when hair and debris samples were later taken from the pods.
She took photos of the exhibit bag before it was opened, of the pods next to new containers of extra samples and of the bag re-sealed with the pods back inside.
She could not remember whether the pods had been inside another container in the bag.

WILLIAMSTOWN – It's hard not to be impressed by the numbers Mount Greylock junior Michael McCormack has put up this season. His overtime winner to send the Mounties to a victory over Cathedral gives him an astounding 186 points this season, a new record in Massachusetts.
But because the numbers are so gaudy, it can be easy to miss the contributions of McCormack's Mountie teammates. Before the decisive goal, senior captain Matt Malloy scooped up a hugely important ground ball to keep possession in Cathedral's end and the pressure on the Panthers. When McCormack took the ball, he used a powerful and well-placed screen from Jonah Kelley in order to find enough space to get a shot.
Every Mount Greylock player has an important role to play on the field, and while McCormack leads the way on the score sheet, executing those tasks all over the field have proved crucial to the Mounties' run to the Division III Central/West final Friday against Grafton.
"You always have to give a tip of the cap to a phenomenal player like (McCormack), but I like to give their other teammates credit. Everyone calls them a one-man band, I really don't think it is. They have a lot of good kids on their team," said Cathedral coach Luke Jenne after the game.
Senior Cole Jackson, who scored three goals in Wednesday's game to help Mount Greylock to the win, said he trusted all his teammates equally to come up with one more play to put the Mounties over the top.
"I didn't have any idea (who would score the winner). It could have been anyone, but it seemed right it was Michael," Jackson said.
Mount Greylock coach Brandon Asplundh echoed his senior's opinion.
"It doesn't surprise me that it was Michael, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was any of the six guys we have on offense," Asplundh said.
One of the six offensive players who excelled Wednesday was junior Liam Chenail. He scored two goals, including a finish on McCormack's pass that gave the junior the point-scoring record, but Asplundh said Chenail's biggest play of the game didn't end with the ball in the net.
Rather, it happened when Chenail scooped the ball off the side of the net to keep possession for the Mounties in overtime in a moment of mass confusion when the entire group of players on the sideline rushed toward the field, thinking the ball had gone in and Mount Greylock had won.
"That was huge. It very well could have gone the other way if Liam doesn't make that huge play," Asplundh said.
Offensively, the Mounties had six players reach the 30-point plateau during the regular season, but just as important as the attacking effort is the man between the pipes for Mount Greylock, sophomore Cal Filson.
Filson made 18 saves in Wednesday's win over Cathedral, including a number of tough ones in the early going that prevented the Panthers from building a lead, and gave the Mounties time to put together a run of their own late in the second quarter.
"It's a huge luxury to have Cal between the pipes for us, we have all the confidence in the world in him and it's a big advantage," Asplundh said.
In the overtime period, Filson made his biggest save of the game on a fastbreak opportunity, turning away a shot and getting the ball quickly to Malloy who cleared it away to the other end.
"It was incredibly stressful in the pre-huddle (before overtime). I tried to to get my mind set right because I've never played an overtime game in lacrosse," Filson said.
"But once I got the ball on the end at the crease and got it to Malloy, I had to trust my offense to make that play there. They took all the stress off me and made the play."

In other news:
- I had signed up for a trail half this past weekend (Trail Nut). I started getting sick last Monday with a really bad cold. I have never been that congested in my life! I wasn't getting better very quickly so on Tuesday I e-mailed them asking to drop down to the 10K. On Wednesday I couldn't really turn or tilt my head to the right. My chiropractor suggested that I not do the race and I agreed. I ended up not doing it at all.
- We bought a new house! (pending home inspection this week *fingers crossed!*)
- Our current house goes on the market this week. Needless to say we've been crazy busy getting it cleaned and de-cluttered. I'm concerned about living in it while trying to sell it at the same time, especially with a cat who likes to occasionally leave various kinds of "presents" on the floor.
- I didn't run, ride, or lift weights AT ALL last week between my cold, my neck, and all of this house stuff. It happens.
- Andrew and I have a 50 mile ride coming up in a month and I'm a little concerned about it. Not only have we not done much training (I've never ridden past 35 miles...), but we also both have to raise $200 for Tour de Cure. Not that I don't want to raise money for it, but I don't have a lot of time/energy to devote to doing so right now. I've raised $105 from family, so I have $95 left to go!

This week on the CCshow our question of the day is "How important is a Presidential nominee's religious background?'
During the election 4 years ago every news channel on the planet speculated on President Obama's religon, even though many times he professed to be a Christian. News outlets even ran tapings of his home church's pastor Jeremiah Wright preaching from the pulpit. Why is the news media is strangely silent on Mitt Romney's Mormon religious background?

Tiffany Mack doesn't want Wegmans Good Dog Park shut down. She makes that clear.
She just hopes people might remember Charlie -- and then use their heads.
Charlie was a character, one of her three dogs. Born not quite eight years ago, he was part Yorkshire terrier, part Chihuahua. Eight days ago, as Charlie did each morning, the little dog woke up early and made a point of getting the household moving. It was a quiet Saturday in March; Mack's 25th birthday was the next day.
She and her fiance, Andy Nolan, are educators in the Syracuse city schools. Nolan, who helps coach baseball at Corcoran High School, left for an early practice. Mack dropped into the routine she and Nolan typically follow together:
With the dogs in the car, she drove from her Syracuse home to Good Dog Park, in the Cold Springs section of Onondaga Lake Park. Licensed and supervised dogs are allowed to run free, in an enclosure.
Nolan and Mack have used it for years. Only once, before last week, did they encounter an aggressive dog. For the most part, it's been a chance for their dogs to run themselves into exhaustion, a chance to be with other people who love dogs.
Mack arrived around 11 a.m. Two men were there with their dogs. She walked through a gate, where a big sign offers a clear choice: "Any size dogs" can go to the play area to the left, while "Small dogs only," 25 pounds or less, can go right.
Faced with that choice, Mack went right. She let her dogs off the leash: There was Charlie, and a King Charles Spaniel named Cody, and Molly, a mix of many things, including whippet and beagle. "Molly was running with the other dogs," Mack said. "Cody was asking the other (dog owners) to meet him, and Charlie was sniffing around."
While the animals played, a third man arrived. He had a dog that towered above the others; Mack guesses it was a mix of mastiff and Labrador retriever. At the place where visitors make the choice -- large dogs to the left, small ones to the right -- the man went right.
Within minutes, his dog moved in a threatening manner toward Cody. The little spaniel fled and cowered between Mack's legs. She bent down to reach for him.
In that instant, the larger dog attacked Charlie, who had no chance. It grabbed him in its mouth, Mack said, and started shaking him and "tearing him apart."
Her voice trembled as she recalled the sound. The dog was in a kind of frenzy. "The guy immediately jumped on the back of the dog and wrestled him to the ground," she said.
Finally, the animal released Charlie.
She grabbed her bleeding dog and ran through the snow, toward the car. Mack heard the other men screaming at the newcomer while Cody and Molly ran by her side. In the car, blood everywhere, she called Nolan. Then she drove to a veterinarian in Liverpool, who sent her to an emergency clinic in Baldwinsville.
The staff did what it could, but the animal was dying. His lung had been punctured. He couldn't breathe.
Mack told Charlie goodbye. To end his suffering, she had him euthanized.
The man who owned the large dog contacted the couple. Nolan described him as "remorseful." The man, identified in police reports as Jeff Baird, of Pennsylvania, said he was visiting the area. He paid the vet's bill. He said his dog had never been aggressive.
Matt Millea, a deputy Onondaga County executive, said park rangers ticketed Baird for failing to obey signs in the park, and for failing to license his dog.
At one of the clinics, Nolan said, a technician told him they've treated other animals injured in the dog park. Once Nolan got home, he went to the Internet and was startled to see the number of similar attacks in dog parks across the nation. He learned of a fierce debate about the wisdom of assembling large groups of unleashed dogs.
Danielle Basciano, a certified professional dog trainer in Onondaga County, said the issue -- as always -- is owner awareness and vigilance.
"Can dog parks be good? Absolutely," she said. "But the more dogs you have, the higher the level of arousal."
The key for owners, she said, is knowing when your dog is sending warning signs -- and responding quickly. She said it always worries her when she goes past a dog park and sees groups of people with their backs turned, chatting, while the animals play ...
Because the unexpected can happen, and fast.
Dr. Marcia Ziegler-Alexander, co-owner of Stack Hospital for Pets in Fayetteville, said she's treated a handful of animals bitten at dog parks. Like Basciano, she emphasized the volatile potential of any mixture of strange dogs. She's seen dogs that are traditionally placid set off by unseen triggers.
In that sense, there's never a casual trip to a dog park.
Millea, the county administrator, said county Executive Joanie Mahoney "views the dog parks as tremendous assets." In the 13-year-history of Good Dog Park, he said there's only been one other recorded instance of a dog being seriously injured.
Still, Millea said, the county is reviewing its policies and the way it monitors the area, and it will re-emphasize the rules governing all users:
If you've got a large dog, go to the correct area. And if you've got any concern
whatsoever about your dog's behavior, it's best to stay home.
As for Tiffany Mack, it will take a while to get past the horror of that morning. She misses Charlie, and she doubts she'll return to the dog park, a place she's always loved.
"I don't think it should be closed," she said. "I've seen it do such great things for dogs."
Dogs, as she knows all too well, aren't the real problem.
Questions for readers: What's been your experience with Good Dog Park, or any public dog park? Do you have ideas or suggestions for providing a better or safer experience? If so, you can leave your response here as a comment, or email columnist Sean Kirst at firstname.lastname@example.com.

So here it is, another Monday. My first Monday with a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
It was a crazy week, and an even crazier weekend … but it was SO much fun. Photos? Oh yes. There were photos.
I was kind of worried about how the Mouse would do this weekend while the Froggy had all the attention directed at him. I'm proud to say he did SO well. He was really good about letting the Froggy have the spotlight, and is all kinds of excited that his baby brother is now a 'big boy', lol. Love this kid.
The birthday boy is one whole year old now. His party was a success {more on that tomorrow!} and thanks to all of our family that came out to celebrate with us he now has more clothes than I do and a new library too! It's also been decided that the kid is now saying 2 words: 'mama' and 'doggie' {although 'doggie' sounds more like 'doe-ug-doe-ug'}. So proud!
Tottums was crazy busy … but it was all worth it. I'd like to direct your attention to the far right photo and my kid's crazy bed head, lol. Just because it's your birthday morning, doesn't mean your hair automatically cooperates! Also, check out the new duds in the first photo. Momma went shopping on Sunday afternoon. And I do mean SHOPPING. I was WAY overdue for some new clothes.
And a sneak peek at the party … and yes, I made that froggy smash cake. I'm awesome like that. More to come tomorrow!

Homophobic Army Colonel Explains How He Likes His Men: No Fatties, No Fags
Bishop John Neal, a retired Army colonel and military chaplain, doesn't ask for much. He just wants his soldiers to be healthy and safe. In other words: thin, trim, and totally not gay.
Why does he bring it up? Why, to explain why discrimination is a good thing, of course. He's not happy that the Army contemplated allowing its chaplains to officiate at same-sex ceremonies, thereby ending one of his favorite traditions: "a long history of discrimination."
"We discriminate," Neal says. "I can't tell you how many fat soldiers I put out of the Army. They were patriotic; they loved their country; they had a good heart. But it would cause damage to my mission (for them to remain.) So you can be 7-ft. tall and want to fly a fighter jet – (but) we discriminate, because we are not going to change the billion dollar equipment."
Okay, we are not exactly following this line of thought. Does he think that gays are trying to hold their weddings inside the cockpits of fighter jets? That would be a totally rad ceremony, but probably not what anyone had in mind.
According to Neal and company, "the military's push to open up military chapels to same-sex marriage ceremonies will drain the military of chaplains and soldiers who do not believe that homosexuality is compatible with military service."
Oh, bless your stupid blackened hearts, we've already been over this. Only two chaplains have resigned in protest over the end of DADT. And those resignations are a good thing. Because you know what's really incompatible with military service? Allowing ignorance to turn you against your fellow soldiers.
This hateful shit is VERY much like the typical "no fats, femmes or asians" line used in online hookup ads.
I always thought the line went "Fats, femmes and Asians." but maybe that's just me.
Anyone can get a clergy certificate on the internet, doesn't take a college degree or an IQ above room temperature to be a cleric. Plenty of people will fill any jobs that open. And there are plenty of folks who belong to moderate and progressive religions.
"No fatties, no fags" sounds more like a typical gay personal ad than 'discrimination' to me. Why do we never look at ourselves when we are screaming about 'discrimination'? We in the gay "community" don't treat each other very well, why should general society be any different?
Perhaps a better analogy would be the Catholic Church ceasing adoptions so that it doesn't have to comply with non-discrimination laws.
Such whining thuggery. Point me to the reg that says a chaplain would be forced to perform a same-sex wedding. I doubt it exists.
I seriously don't get the reasoning behind the statements that 'If same-sex couples are allowed to marry, I won't be able to practice my religion according to my beliefs'. Apparently hating queers is a religious practice now? How does a same-sex couple marrying infringe on that?
Hate all you like, if that's part of your religious beliefs/practices. But know this: Your freedom of religion does not guarantee you results – as in preventing same-sex couples from marrying where they can LEGALLY do so.
I'm with Kanga, no fatties no fags is actually pretty gay sounding.
There absolutely is no regulation that says a chaplain must perform any particular wedding. In every case, it is up to the chaplain. If he (or she) or his(/her) denomination, does not approve, then they don't have to do the wedding. Any regulation otherwise, would be a violation of "religious freedom".
On the other hand, there absolutely is a regulation that says a chaplain must _not_ perform a same-sex wedding. Even if the chaplain and the denomination both approve, they may not do the wedding. This regulation, clearly, violates "religious freedom".
I don't really see why one violation of religious freedom is carefully avoided, and the other is carefully required.
Seems to me, a military chaplain is there to minister to the troops. When troops request chaplains services, the could very well die within hours. Whatever ministering is requested, should be allowed.
I'm an Army Chaplain Assistant myself. I;ve found that there are some really great chaplains out there, some from LGBT-friendly denominations. But the fact is, most are from evangelical "queer-hating" denominations. The Army Chief of Chaplains, MG Carver, is a Southern Baptist: obviously anti-gay. The solution: talk to people from LGBT-friendly denominations who are considering ministry about possibly becoming a military Chaplain.
And @ Danny, while you can be ordained online, most faith groups represented in the military require you to have an M.Div to be a chaplain.

Hibbing, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- After allowing just four runs through its first four games of the Section 7A baseball tournament, it makes sense that dominant pitching and defense were key on Friday morning to the Ely baseball team earning its second state tournament berth in the past three seasons.
Ely earned a 2-0 shutout victory over South Ridge on Friday morning at Al Nyberg Field in Hibbing, Minn., playing a game that was originally scheduled for Thursday but postponed due to weather.
Louis Gerzin and Elliot Omerza each had a run batted in for the Timberwolves in the winning effort, with Gerzin's RBI single marking the eventual game-winning run.
This will be Ely's fourth overall trip to the MSHSL Class A tournament and first since 2012, with that year's team losing in the quarterfinals to Lac qui Parle Valley.

7/18 Minor League highlights
Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Addison Russell, three of the Cubs' top prospects, all homered Thursday. Bryant and Baez went deep in Triple-A Iowa's 7-0 victory at Round Rock, while Russell's home run helped Double-A Tennessee defeat Huntsville, 4-1.
Baez and Bryant were playing their first game for Iowa in nearly a week after playing against each other in Sunday's All-Star Futures Game and then getting a few days off for the Triple-A All-Star break. The rest didn't seem to faze them. Baez, ranked No. 6 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBIs. He extended his hitting streak to 10 games. And he was playing second base, and Iowa manager Marty Pevey said Baez "looked like an All-Star."
Bryant, No. 8 on the Top 100, finished the game 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two runs. His home run was his 32nd of the season between Tennessee and Iowa, giving him sole possession of first place on the Minor League leaderboard. He had been tied at 31 with Rangers' No. 2 prospect Joey Gallo.
Russell, No. 11 on the Top 100, went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and an RBI. It was his second home run of the season and first since he was traded to the Cubs as part of the deal that sent Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the A's.
Baez, Bryant and Russell weren't the only prominent Cubs prospects to homer Thursday. Tennessee outfielder Jorge Soler (No. 6), Class A Advanced Daytona first baseman Dan Vogelbach (No. 12) and Tennessee third baseman Christian Villanueva (No. 13) all hit long balls as well.

Baez also played 2nd for the first time. I wonder if he has a chance to come up this year, and not push back his clock like everyone seems to assume.
Not so sure that Management is concerned with pushing back the clock on Baez as they are with Bryant. I am hoping that Baez, Vizcaino will be brought up in SEP. Also would be nice to see Hendrick get a few starts at the end of the year. Maybe Beeler??
I read where Boras ( Bryants agent ) is pushing for Bryant to be brought up this year. I really dislike that guy. Epstein ignored Bora's comment, stating Bryant needed work at 3B and possibly RF.
Cubs Win, this Management has a true vision and what looks to be a solid plan. All most of can do is assume, we really dont know what they will do next. lol There have been a few mistakes along the way, but they have overhauled the entire Organization in a very positive way.
Built a facility in the DR, rebuilt the ST Facility in Mesa and will start their plan on Wrigley. the entire Organization is driving forward in a steadfast manner, with not alot getting in their way.
Next year will be very exciting, not only to the fans, but adding to that, the players will be having lots of fun. They are getting there.
This Management is taking them there.
Hendricks hasn't been announced as a starter in Iowa's first five games after the All-Star Break. I'm assuming that either means a) The Cubs plan on calling him up to fill one of their two open rotation spots, which they will need to do on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, or b) Hendricks will replace one of the pitchers who gets called up in the AAA rotation. Beeler pitched at AAA yesterday and his next turn to pitch will come up on Tuesday, the first day the Cubs will need a 4th starter. Wada is scheduled to pitch today, which means his turn will come up again on Wednesday, the first day the Cubs will need a 5th starter. Rusin has been named a starter at AAA over the weekend and Straily on Monday, so it looks like it's down to Beeler, Wada, and Hendricks to get bumped up to the Majors next week.
And while Beeler and Wada's turns come up at the right time, Hendricks did pitch two innings in the AAA All-Star Game on Wednesday, so he was probably unavailable to pitch yesterday or today anyway. If the Iowa Cubs give Hendricks an inning or two in the bullpen this weekend, then I'm guessing they're going to call him up to fill one of the spots and are just trying to keep his arm fresh. Stay tuned…
Jasper: if I remember correctly, it seems that Baez has needed a period of adjustment when moving to a new level. So purely from a team perspective, I hope they bring him up in September and give him a chance to adjust. Doug: it definitely sounds like Hendricks is on his way to Chicago.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Beach Boy Andrew Simontacchi spent all day Saturday walking the hot sands of Long Branch, talking to Staten Islanders as they enjoyed the Jersey Shore.
Borough residents were spotted at the beach bars, surf shops and beach-side restaurants. Many were eager to talk. Most shared their desire to see Staten Island become more like the Jersey Shore.
"Why can't Staten Island be this nice?" asked Lauren Monreale, 19, of Prince's Bay.
Added her friend, Elizabeth Strange, 19, of Tottenville: "The atmosphere here just makes you feel like you're away, and on Staten Island, well, it's just Staten Island."
"The majority of the crowd down here are Staten Islanders and I've been noticing as the years go on, there's more and more of us," said Mike Camera, 36, of New Dorp, who runs Avenue, a bar/nightclub in Long Branch.
Not all Islanders who hit up Long Branch on Saturday were veterans. For Melissa Balenzuela, 26, of St. George, it was her first trip to Long Branch. She took the ride with her boyfriend, John Gaudet, 29, also of St. George.
"My mom said it was nice, so we decided to check it out," said Miss Balenzuela. "And this place just blows every beach out of the water."
Chris Bombardiere, 25, of Huguenot, and his girlfriend, Lauren Trieste, 23, of Dongan Hills, spent their one-year anniversary relaxing in Long Branch.
"It's Pier Village, you'll find an upper class of people and places to eat and shop," Bombardiere said.
Many of the reactions were similar.
"Staten Islanders always go where the parties are," said Christine Cusato of Great Kills.
Jessica Ramos, 26, of Annadale, added that her friends go to Long Branch to "have a good time, because they love the crowd of people."
"Everyone knows Avenue. It's a hotspot," said Angela Dallesandro of New Springville. "And on top of that, it's a great family place."

Twenty-five Keystone Members from Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County attended the National Keystone Conference in Anaheim, Calif., April 10-13. It was an exciting time for our youth leaders as they met with other Keystone Members throughout the nation. Youth attended a variety of workshops on leadership and civic service, and networked with other youth from around the country. Members participated in a community service project, sponsored by UPS, in collaboration with Boys & Girls Clubs of America at Willow Park, Anaheim, Calif. They planted 20 trees, painted park benches and helped with gardening, including mulching. Our youth also spent a fun day at Disneyland.
"It was a great experience for each of our youth. Especially the community service project; they felt inspired to help in a community that was not their own", said Ron Brangman, Associate Club Director. "For many of our youth it was also the first time they had the opportunity to fly, which was exciting for them".
"We are very proud of our Keystone Club members," stated Russell Triolo, CEO. "These members are leaders in our clubs. They 'earn' the right to attend the conference throughout the year by attending meetings and participating in community service projects."
Keystone Club focuses on youth age 14-18. The foundation of Keystone is Character, Leadership, Career Preparation, and Community Activities. Youth meet throughout the year to plan and participate in a variety of activities that provide them with skills and experience that will guide them as they mature. Union County Keystone Members raised funds to offset the cost of attending through a variety of initiatives, including organizing Pancake Breakfasts at local Applebee's Restaurants and a directed appeal to local civic organizations.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County seek to inspire and enable young people, who need them most, to realize their full potential and have provided opportunity for youth since 1955. They are part of a national network of some 4,000 neighborhood-based facilities, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which serves more than 4.6 million young people annually, in all 50 states and on U.S. military bases worldwide. Clubs provide guidance-oriented character development programs on a daily basis for children 6- to 18-years-old, conducted by a full-time professional staff. Key Boys & Girls Club programs emphasize leadership development, education and career exploration, financial literacy, health and life skills, the arts, sports, fitness and recreation, and family outreach.

Skip to comments.Peace groups will hold vigils (FReep Alert!)
Posted on 10/05/2001 10:56:53 AM PDT by ppaul
Peace groups around the nation are preparing vigils and rallies on Sunday (10/7/01) to demand legal and diplomatic alternatives to war. The American Friends Service Committee, Pax Christi USA, the War Resisters League and others have asked their members to participate in the local gatherings, including a march and rally in New York, beginning at Union Square.
"We're encouraging peace groups throughout the country to get together and formulate their own way to speak out and promote peace," said Janis Shields, spokeswoman for the American Friends, a Quaker organization.
The idea, Shields said, is "to call attention to the fact that not everyone is calling for war in these trying days." Leaders in the groups say there has been a growing demand for public expressions of sentiment in favor of peace.
"It's really spontaneous," said the Rev. Chris Ney, national coordinator at the War Resisters League, a 78-year-old organization based in New York. "I wish I could say we're organizing it. We're just providing skills that we have."
Marches and vigils have already been held in Washington, Philadelphia and western Massachusetts. Besides the rally in New York, Sunday events are planned in Chicago, Philadelphia and Bangor, Maine, among other places. Organizers say events are likely in Seattle.
Common themes include not just opposition to war, but also condemnation of the terrorist acts, a call to defend American civil liberties and a rejection of bias against Arabs, Muslims and immigrants.
The ideas are stated on the War Resisters League's Internet site, warresisters.org, which also calls for peace through "economic and social justice." That reflects a view among peace groups that the United States must work to mitigate such problems as corrupt governments and poverty in developing nations if it is to eliminate the threat of terrorism.
The peace argument differs from another stand with a long history in Christian tradition, recently articulated by Roman Catholic and Protestant leaders, that there are instances in which war may be justly waged.
In a recent interview, Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Commission in the Southern Baptist Convention, said the central principle for allowing a nation to enter into war was "just cause." Land added, "War is only permissible to resist aggression and to defend those victimized by it."
In a letter laced with references to the theory of just war, the nation's Catholic bishops wrote to President Bush two weeks ago, saying military action must be considered as one option, along with diplomatic and legal means.
But opponents of war have argued that the terrorist attacks should not be regarded as an act of war, requiring a military response, but as an international crime, demanding legal pursuit, arrest and trial of the perpetrators, as well as diplomatic and financial penalties against the aggressors and their backers.
"We believe the perpetrators should be brought to justice, but under the rule of law," said Mary Ellen McNish, general-secretary of the American Friends.
Skills? These lowlifes contribute nothing to society. Their skill? Fomenting anti-American hatred and self-loathing. Blame America first. We're the bad guys. We've never done anything but oppress the world. In reality, these so-called "peace groups" would lick the boots of oppressors. If a terrorist organization threatened to drop a nuke if we do not surrender, these un-American rabble rousers would raise the white flag immediately. Puke.
FReep 'em!
You have no idea how long I wished these freeps were on a Sunday! Now how do we go about it? First timer here! ;-)
Now do us all a favor and crawl back into your little hippy peacefreak dens and rot.
I noticed one of the groups sponsoring a "teach in" is "queers for racial equality". Interesting company they keep.
Sounds like she's reading the same script as Taliban Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef.
I've often wondered when it would be appropriate (according to these peace groups) to attack the terrorists? What kind of murderous actions have to be committed against us before we fight back? Seems to me 6000 civilian casualties is a pretty damn good reason. Also seems a lot of people criticising the US because of the harsh response to this attack, BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET!
Would these groups be calling for "peace and negotiation" if we get nuked and have millions of casualties? Or how about a chemical or biological attack? It could very well come to that if we sit idle and do nothing.
Sadly, I doubt it!
Great point. How's the alternative energy business coming along? Anything promising on the horizon?
Funny none of these that Robert Heinleinn called "full buck pacifists" have suggested that Osama and his crew should have pursed their supposed grievances under the "rule of law". Actually, of course, the rule of law does allow for a military response when a nation is attacked, but you might get wacked by one of these peace and love types if you pointed that out to them, certainly you'd get called names like "baby killer" or "war monger" or "fascist" and so forth. Might even get bombarded with a sack of excrement by one of these sacks of exrement.
Yesterday I saw an Afghan man being interviewed in a Pakistani refugee area. His wife and a couple of children were in a tent that had nothing else in it. The man said "this is all I have." He told the reporter that Taliban men had come by and said they were going to kill him, so he and the family left at once. The reason they were going to kill him ? He belonged to the "wrong" tribe (not the one most of the Taliban belong to). It's ironic, but the peaceniks' freedom to demonstrate for peace is something worth fighting for.
Johnny Donovan: Okay... ladies and gentlement, heeeeere's Alex!
Alex: Welcome ladies an gentlemen. Our first contestant tonight wil be Ron Doughty, just an ordinary citizen who happens to be a Freeper. Ron, by coin toss, you've won the right to go first. Which category would you like
Ron: Well Alex, let's try Famous Ignorant Sl _ ts for two cents.
Alex: Okay Contestants. Listen closely.
Mary Ellen McNish, general-secretary of the American Friends said, "We believe the perpetrators should be brought to justice, but under the rule of law."
For two cents, name the current or former global powers which have or had general secretaries.
Alex: Yes Ron.
Ron: What is the Union of Soviet Socialst Republics and the United Nations?
Alex: That's right Ron! Johnny, tell the man what he's won.
Johnny: Ron you've won the right to move on to the final round where you'll face one of America most embarassing Senators!
Alex: Okay contestants, listen closely as I state the final question!
"American Friends" protests will take place this Sunday. And I want the audience to know I use that term advisedly. During these protests speakers are alotted fifteen seconds to address one topic, and fifteen minutes to address another. For less than a wooden nickle and the game, name these two topics in the proper order!
Musical interlude: Da da da da, da da da, da da da da da da da da da da da...
Alex: Okay Mrs. Clinton, let's see your answer.
Mrs. Clinton: What are Peace and love?
Alex: Nope, that's wrong. And for the record the categore wasn't Famous Ignorant Sl _ ts!
Alex: Okay Ron, let's see your answer.
Ron: What is the admonishment for crimes the alleged naughty people were forced to commit by the US, and an assorted laundry list of the evil things the US has done which justified the acts of the alleged naughty people?
Alex: Unlike New York's resident Famous Ignorant Sl _ t, you've nailed it. Johnny, tell this man what he's won.
Johnny: Ron you've won less than a wooden nickle, but years ago you won when you were given a brain that was sufficient enough to recongnize Hillary and those who make up the base of her support for what they are. Congratulations. You win dude!
Alex: That's it for today's show folks. Tune in again tomorrow when another Freeper will lock horns with the nation's former congenital liar in chief.
Alex: Remember folks, don't forget to spay and neuter your local neighborhood marxists / socialists! Good night...
A peaceful solution would still be possible / Una solución pacífica todavía sería posible
Speech by "Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, President of the Republic of Cuba."
I pulled this right off of Ramsey Clark's website. These "peace groups" are enemies of the United States and should be regarded as such.
Now these clowns are all dressed up with nowhere to go. Bush has outsmarted them and cut off their oxygen. He knows that, before we can go after the terrorists, we have to neutralize the fifth column at home first. No bombs, no traction for the marxist-anarchist peacenik dipwads. And now that we've cut off the money to the terrorists, the rent-a-mob folks at home will have no alternative but to "go home" and/or get real jobs. Screw 'em.
To every fool who has e-mailed me some stupid "peace" message, I have replied by sending them the Chicago Tribune piece about the heroes of that flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.
If you hear of anything , PLEASE let me know, I would LOVE to give thes a-holes a taste of their own medicne, I'm in Sacto so give a shout.

"The Vietnam war was lost at home, by a nation intentionally divided and a media exploited by our enemies. The majority, with no easy way to express themselves, were easily ignored and silenced. We must not let this happen again. We must show each other, and the world that we will not forget September 11 and our resolve to rub out those responsible for it."
So, the national media are licking their collective fingers and sticking them up to see which way the wind is blowing. On the one hand their natural symphathies are with the sheep. On the other hand they have a nice juicy war in the offing. Which way will the media turn? If the war isn't "spectacular" they'll lose interest and go with the peaceniks, following their "liberal" hearts. We don't want President Bush having to wage this war with an eye towards what the media will think of it. That's how Clinton waged war - screw the results, I just want a show. Our best response might be just like the Israeli's after the Munich Olympic massacre, rub them all out covertly then say for public consumption, "Gee, how did all these mullah's die?". So we, the people, have to let the media know, "Hell No! We won't forget! and you better not even think about saying anything to undermine the nations will to fight".
We lost Vietnam because the "Silent Majority" didn't have a way to express themselves and let others know how they felt. The enemy was able to divide and conquor the American people.
Keep the media from going the wrong way by giving the peaceniks the Twin Tower's Salute and let them know which side you're on.
Oct. 7, Chicago, IL Participants will gather at Buckingham Fountain at 5 pm for a candlelight vigil to voice opposition to U.S. military intervention and war; for more information or to volunteer for the Chicago Peace Response Vigil, call 312-427-2533; Illinois Peace Action, 312-939-3316
Note the line "should US bombing begin." These anti-US individuals will be celebrating in the streets if the terrorists bomb US!
Me thinks they abuse the priviledge.
Bags of tomatos were Grandma's favorite.
I'm trying to figure out why they don't know that this is not about race. These terrorists come in all colors on most every continent. Poster ideas:
Racism? Terrorists come in all colors.
Say NO to racism, extortion, fear-mongering, terrorism!
We are ONE America. Stop divisive race hustlers!

My first youtube video is not quite right but I got the whole song on there. It is all about Becky at Tall Cool Drink of Water and what the investigative reporters at the famous Bodock Times have learned about her shady past. Maybe, she should not have shot that man in Wolf City, Wyoming.

Freedom is not free ... it always comes with a price.
On Memorial Day, people from all over the country unite to recognize the greatest sacrifice men and women can make.
Holy Trinity R.C. Church Rev. Joseph Zalacca began the Memorial Service with some words about that sacrifice.

The American Flag is carried proudly down Route 5 in the city of Dunkirk as the Memorial Day parade begins.

Lt. Chris Wilson presents the 2014 Grand Marshal plaque to WWII veteran Michael Tofil.
"We remember those who have served," he said. "Loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice. All those who risked their lives to protect our freedom."
Rev. Zalacca recalled the scripture, "No greater love is this than to give your life for a friend," and he acknowledged the men and women who have done and still do this today.
Mayor Anthony J. Dolce announced to the crowd gathered at Memorial Park that this day is one of his favorites.
"This is truly one of the things I look forward to the most," he said. "These events are happening all over the country, in small and large communities. This day allows us to honor those who sacrificed for us. We must honor our heroes everyday, all year; we must keep this alive."
Commander George Burns III (U.S. Coast Guard) grew up in Dunkirk and shared the true meaning of what it is to be a hero.
"Patriotism sometimes means we are called to defend our freedom in great armed struggles; those struggles are very costly on the toll of human life. Some consider those men and women who left the safety and comforts of their home and went to far away hostile lands to defend our freedom and died," he said. "The relationship between patriotism and life becomes very complex. Patriotism becomes something more than flags and proud families showing sons and daughters in military uniform. Patriotism becomes something that carries risk, and that risk is life itself."
Attorney and veteran Peter Clark talked of the birth of Memorial Day.
"We want to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice today (Monday). One hundred and fifty-one years ago Edward Everett gave a two-hour long speech, which I will not repeat," he said. "The speech that followed I think embodies this day very well."
Clark read President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and a poem by a Canadian soldier.
In the Gettysburg Address, the Civil War president talks of the world not remembering what was said, but it will remember what was done, and on Memorial Day, 151 years later it is still honored.
Many local organizations participated in this year's parade including Dunkirk Senior High School JROTC, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Rubber Made Brigade, Roswell Park, Upward Bound Program, Dunkirk Little League and the Dunkirk Middle and High School bands.

NFL Films' Greg Cosell and ESPN's Ron Jaworski floated this possible explanation for the recent slump: Manning has a tired arm, evidenced by the fact that he has missed throws he normally makes.
Manning said today that is not the case.
"I don't think so," he said. "I feel like I'm making the throws, and I don't feel like it's tired."
He continued later: "If my arm were tired, I would tell the coaches, and we would shut down some throws or throw a little bit less. I don't feel like we're overthrowing, I feel like when I'm making throws, the ball is coming out well, so I don't see anything into it."
Coach Tom Coughlin said nothing is physically wrong with Manning. But, interestingly, he didn't completely shut down the idea of a tired arm.
"I certainly would ask him about that, but I've asked him about that over the last couple of weeks," Coughlin said. "I've asked him how he feels, and he responds he feels good."

Piccadilly Holiday To-Go
Christmas is no doubt my favorite holiday of the year. The festive atmosphere, holiday shopping and of course the food becomes more special when celebrating with people we love. Growing up in a very close knit family, it's unfortunate that most of my relatives now live in different parts of the world. That's why we made a tradition to gather together at least once a year and most of the time we do our reunions on Christmas.
With several families gathered together under one roof for Christmas, food needs to be pouring in our kitchen at all times. Although it's a lot of fun to celebrate and catch up with the lives of everyone, preparing Christmas feast is the most stressful part of it that I don't look forward to. You need to prepare the menu, shop for ingredients, prepare and cook which will take several hours. And because we only have few days together with the family, I just don't look forward to spending hours of it in the kitchen.
Good thing because someone suggested a great option for me this year. Instead of cooking on our own, we're just getting our Christmas feast from Piccadilly! So this year I will have extra time and energy to bond more and make special memories with my family .
To know more about Piccadilly, hurry and like Piccadilly Restaurants on Facebook and follow @EatPiccadilly on Twitter.

I love Excite Truck - go for it.

Excite truck is an awesome game. It's very addicting. Get it
That's pretty much what I would have said... had I tried, and not been so lazy right about now. We should high five.Originally Posted by surfinrach90
I've got Madden 07, Twi Pri, Wii Sports, Red Steel, and Excite Truck. Out of those 5, Excite Truck has the most replay-ability... along with Madden.
So.... Should i go for it to buy or rent first?
I got:
Wii console
madden 07
Call of duty 3(sold)
Zelda: TP
Extra wiimote and Nunchuck
Spiderman 3
Blazing Angels
I would say to buy it.
I could have suggested you buy Red Steel instead, since it's only $30, but I think CoD 3 was better... and you already have that. Red Steel's multiplayer didn't help the value much. I thought it was bad, but I've heard some people hear say they love it.

Yes In My Backyard: Download O.C. and A.G.'s "Think About It"
Yes In My Backyard is a semiweekly column showcasing MP3s from new and emerging local talent.
O.C. and A.G. are New York hip-hop legends holding their own. The two members of longstanding pan-borough collective Diggin' In The Crates (the same one that spawned Fat Joe and Big L) still sound deadly: their first album-length collabo, Oasis (Nature Sounds, due November 10) is all effortless flow and perfectly skeletal boom-bap. Both rappers' most famous works are 15 years behind them: O.C. is the nimble voice from 1994's classic-beyond-classic, back-to-basics manifesto "Time's Up"; A.G. is best known for 1992's neck-snapping Runaway Slave. But their no-fat, no-gristle rhymes remain monstrously aerodynamic, zipping past sloppy up-and-comers--not retro, just timeless. "Think About It" is a lean motormouth boast meant to set the real from the imagined--one of those rhymes that manages to take shots at soft MCs and corrupt governments alike while still giving props to good weed and hip-hop's roots.
OC and AG on "Think About It"
Why did it take 15 years for you guys to do an album together?
A.G.: It took 10 years for DITC to do an album, so I guess we were on a good pace. We all started as individuals, not a group, so it took us 10 years to coordinate schedules and minds. You got all alpha males in the crew, we all have our own opinions and voices and they are all valid. So considering that, it's right on time, really.
Upcoming Events
What was the inspiration for your verse on "Think About It?"
A.G.: Let's do something where we make the people think about different scenarios. It's not about one thing. Some things are humorous, some real, some fictional. Something just to trigger your train of thought. We want people who listen to out music to think.
Why are you making an album in the year 2009? Especially when so many artists are just doing "street singles" and mixtapes?
O.C.: Just the love for the music. No particular reason. A.G.: A true artist fiends for that feedback and interaction with the fans. To not put anything out, you don't grow.
Do you find it easy or challenging to keep up with all the new jacks who came in your wake?
O.C.: At this point it is effortless for me to do what any other artist in this time and day does, but I choose to stay a leader and not a follower. That's what has sustained my longevity in this game. My respect always outweighed the dollar.
What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about hip-hop today?
O.C.: That it has earned its place in being recognized as a legit artform in this day and time. The thing I loathe about the game is that it can be disposable, because of all the billions it generates for people who have no clue of what the music is about, but make tons of money off the people who create it--meaning industry wigs. A.G.: I might change things, but hip-hop is about people's realities, and I can say nothing bad about expressing reality. Music is an opinion and everyone is entitled. It's about expression regardless what your expression is.
What's your most memorable New York show?
A.G.: Big L anniversary at Trampps... and Madison Square Garden opening for Kris Kross.
What's your favorite place to eat in New York?
O.C.: Any good vegan spots. A.G.: Amy Ruth's in Harlem.
OC and AG play tonight, October 15, 2009, at Southpaw with RA The Rugged Man and Ayatollah.
Are you an emerging local band who has an upcoming 7", MP3, or album? Are you not totally fucking terrible like 90% of the bands in this city? Then please send us an email at email@example.com. Links and YSIs only. No attachments please!

The Pac-12 Conference reprimanded and fined Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti $5,000 for comments he made about the conference's officiating program and Washington State, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott announced today.
According to a release from the conference, Aliotti made derogatory public comments about the Pac-12 officiating program "leading up to Oregon's game against Washington State and continued that line of dialogue following the game."
Aliotti referred to Washington State coach Mike Leach as "low class" following the Ducks' 62-38 win on Saturday after Leach continued to throw the ball against Oregon's backups with the game in hand.
"The Pac-12 has specific rules that prohibit our coaches from making public comments about officiating, and this prohibition specifically includes comments that create doubts about the credibility of the Conference's officiating program," stated Scott. "His comments also showed a lack of support for the Pac-12's policies on Sportsmanship and Standards of Conduct, which call for our coaches to treat opponents with respect."

To the Journal editor:
While strolling the perimeter of the Superior Dome, one comes upon a display of three of our counties past luminaries.
All are products of the west end. Michigan's longest serving legislator, Dominic Jacobetti of Negaunee, noted author and Michigan Supreme Court Justice, John Voelker (author Robert Traver) and Clarence "Kelly" Johnson the internationally renown aviation design pioneer of Ishpeming. They could have also added Ishpeming native, nuclear physicist and Nobel Laureate Dr. Glenn Seaborg.
So why is it that small mining communities did and continue to produce such outstanding people? Which leads to the question; Is bigger really better as many elected officials believe?
Being immersed in roles that led to the necessity of delving into the history of our local school district and community, several factors surfaced as to just why successful people continue to appear as leaders locally, nationally and internationally. In our school system one factor is dominant. Stability. To establish stability a body requires loyalty and commitment. This has been most visible in the Ishpeming School System.
During its 125 year history, the district has had only 13 administrative leaders. Of these 13 superintendents, one served an interim term of only two months. Also, Francis Dishnow, a 15 year employee of the district passed away suddenly during his third year as the district's leader. The present superintendent, Dr. Stephen Piereson, is serving his 23rd year. (He may be the dean of superintendents in the U.P.)
Ishpeming continues to produce pathfinders and leaders. An array of fine doctors went across the Peterson Auditorium stage on Commencement Night in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the likes of Han, Koenig, Dellangelo, Narotzky, Beinlich to name a few. Also, business leaders like Gary Anderson, retired CEO of Dow-Corning and others. Look around you.
Educational leaders emanating out of IHS are and have been filling roles in the county for many years. God willing and with continued community support, this successful endeavor will continue.
What is clear on the west end is that the competition between the likes of Ishpeming, Negaunee and NICE stoke the fires to succeed. To lose such a strong factor from the ingredients of success would be a deadly blow to our educational systems.
Let us continue to do friendly battle in the academic and other areas of interschool competition while continuing our march toward excellence.
Bob Marietti

Teen dies after being rescued from collapsed sand cave at Dash Point State Park
A 15-year-old male has died after being rescued from a collapsed sand cave at 3 p.m. Saturday at Dash Point State Park in Federal Way, according to the King County Medical Examiner.
South King Fire and Rescue was called to assist in the rescue after the cave buried the Oregon boy in sand. The Associated Press reported the teen's family dug his head and shoulders out of the substance.
Several of the sand caves are located along the Washington coast and at Dash Point, SKFR spokeswoman Kirsti Weaver said. The area is usually marked with warning signs, but they are consistently removed by park visitors, park ranger Lem Pratt told the AP.
The teenager was taken to Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle on Saturday. He died Monday, Aug. 25, at the hospital, the medical examiner said.
Stay tuned for updates as information becomes available.

By John Pope
Staff writer
After Monday's lunch crowd had thinned out at Dixie Gyro, Russell Smith sat at a tile-topped table, inhaling deeply as the smell of roast turkey filled the Central Business District cafe. And he was beaming.
"How can you not be happy when you're in a position to do what I'm doing?" he said.
What the 53-year-old contractor is doing amounts to nothing less than taking over the Carondelet Street eatery for a day full of free Thanksgiving feasts on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. In a cafe where the typical offerings include such exotic edibles as gyros, souvlaki and spinach pie, Thursday's bill of fare will include such all-American offerings as turkey with dressing, sweet potatoes, corn and homemade bread.
Meanwhile, Fortuna Assouline, the cafe's owner and his partner in this enterprise, labored behind the counter, showing off a few of the foil-covered turkeys she has already prepared and making lists of chores she has yet to undertake. Twelve birds have been prepared to a golden brown; eight remain to be roasted.
"I'm cooking nonstop; I'm already exhausted," she said, wiping her hands on her red apron.
Smith contributed $2,000 for the food, and Assouline, 68, said she has had to augment that amount to pay for what she needs.
Nevertheless, Assouline said, "I feel very good. I do it from my heart."
David Holmes, a Dixie Gyro employee who has been swept up in this project, was equally positive. "It's a beautiful thing, a godsend," he said.
Although Smith and Assouline have an easy rapport, they hadn't met until last week.
Smith is a contractor from Detroit who came to New Orleans in January last year to join the recovery effort. Once he saw the scope of what needed to be done, he decided to stay. He has bought a house in eastern New Orleans.
But after spending more than a year and a half restoring houses and lives, Smith said he still didn't think he was doing enough.
Then he had a dream.
"God spoke to me and said, 'Sow a seed,'¤" Smith said. "He told him to feed his people, and he directed me to the restaurant. He said, 'I'm going to take you where you need to go.' I had never seen this woman in this kitchen in this building before."
When he met Assouline and told her why he had come to Dixie Gyro, "she looked at me like I was crazy," Smith said. "But when I explained, she said she wanted to do the same thing."
Assouline's motivation came from a nighttime drive to the auto pound after her sister's car had been booted. Along the way, she saw masses of homeless people: an unfamiliar sight, she said, because she lives in Kenner.
"It really hurt my heart," she said. "I was thinking of bringing them some food, and then this guy came in here."
At first there was talk that the meal to be served at 110 Carondelet St. would be restricted to homeless people, but Smith vetoed that idea.
"It's open to anyone, not just the homeless," he said, "because there are a lot of people in trailers who don't feel comfortable with cooking or might not be able to cook.
"I'm not discriminating against anyone at all. God didn't discriminate against anyone in the dream. He said, 'Feed my people,' and that's all."

text: Ya know...I'm sitting here watching "Jaws" (my husband has this uncanny ability to find this movie at any time - night or day.) And I'm watching the scene early on where the town is in an uproar and everyone meets at Borough Hall and they're all flipping out and Quint runs his hand down the chalkboard to get their attention. And I'm thinking "Wow... this could totally be Brielle!" Seriously. It's SO Brielle. Right down to the Mayor saying "Thanks Mr. Quint. I'll take that under advisement." Seeing as the REAL "Jaws" attacks happened in this area, I guess I'm not that far off, right? PS - if you've never seen the Jaws Bunnies, check them out. They're hilarious.

Petition to keep Windsurifng in the Olimpics
One initiative to protest the rather close-minded exclusion of windsurfing from the Olympics games. Just klick the link and sign up: http://www.change.org/petitions/isaf...ic-discipline#
There might be other initiatives in the making. According to the web-site: "a 2 third majority at the ISAF annual meeting in november can overrule this decision - keep signing and get our opinion heard."

City keeps raising taxes
I believe I read somewhere or heard on the news that in November of last year the voters of Washington approved into law Initiative 747, which would limit property tax increases to 1 percent a year. I also believe I heard or read that immediately after its approval the state wanted to declare it unconstitutional! How could it possibly be unconstitutional if the government is by the people? It appears that the people have spoken; therefore the government is obligated to adhere to the new law.
But, that is not the case in Oak Harbor. The Oak Harbor City Council has something called banked percentage points. Has anyone besides the city council ever heard of banked percentage points? Since they did not impose as much of a tax increase as they could have, they banked the remainder. And why didnt we hear about these banked points before the new law went into effect? Do they have that prerogative?
Governments have the ability to declare a tax increase anytime they need more money for whatever reason. The taxpayers do not have the ability to declare an income increase anytime they need more money.
Soon the city will be raising our property taxes (legally, by one percent), and our sewage costs, and our garbage costs and our water costs, and our storm drain costs.
The city also imposes a tax on our telephone, and our cell phone and on our electricity and who knows what else. You can only get so much water out of a turnip! Its time that we the people make our governments accountable to us, instead of the other way around.
Marion Hess lives in Oak Harbor.

I keep learning more about pianist Mary Lou Williams, and there's so much worth learning. It's astounding that Williams is not better and more widely known, though jazz insiders recognize her brilliance and impact.
Robin Kelley's biography of Thelonious Monk helped illustrate what an important mentor Williams was for Monk and for so many important jazz pianists. When I interviewed pianist Geri Allen for a Wall Street Journal piece last year, Allen —who played Williams in Robert Altman's 1996 film "Kansas City" and, more convincingly, played Williams's rarely performed "Zodiac Suite" on a 2006 recording—explained to me what an important force Williams was on generations to follow.
Here's more insight, straight from Williams, who died in 1981. It comes via a 1977 interview with Williams, conducted by Bob Smith, in Vancouver, for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's "Hot Air." (You need to scroll down to access the interview, which is 27 minutes long.)
At the start, Williams talks about having just played the Keystone Korner, the wonderful San Francisco club Todd Barkan owned from 1972 to 1983, and where he presented musicians including Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Grover Washington, Jr. and Bill Evans, often in inventive double-bills. Williams used to call the club "the Birdland of the '70s." (That chapter of history is recalled in this book.)
Barkan, who until recently programmed Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's club in Manhattan, now rekindles the spirit and even some of the personnel of his former San Francisco landmark in New York with "Todd Barkan Presents Keystone Korner Nights at The Iridium." The series, which Barkan says will include "100 nights of original programming" on Wednesday and Sunday nights at the Manhattan club, launches tonight, with a tribute to guitarist Wes Montgomery. The band includes bassist Ray Drummond, who performed at the original Keystone Korner, as well as drummer Jimmy Cobb, pianist Harold Mabern, trumpeter Lew Soloff, saxophonist Eric Alexander, and guitarist Peter Bernstein.
Barkan, who is the knowing and loving kind of impresario, promises some special guests tonight. His new series offers a welcome look back at a significant legacy and promises to be an invigorating presence on New York's current scene.

Samsung teases something big, could be the Nexus Prime
While we've all assumed that the Nexus Prime, or just the Prime, would be shown off at CTIA this year, it looks like Samsung wanted to pique everyone's interest a little bit in advance. Of course, it could also have something to do with another device that was just announced, but who knows.
As the image above shows, something is indeed coming. Whatever that thing is, to be honest, remains a mystery at the moment. But, we can definitely tell that the device has a pronounced curved display, and that lines up pretty well with those Nexus Prime rumors we've heard in the past. Of course, Samsung could have something completely different coming down the pipe, and they may surprise everyone. Stranger things have happened, right?
With this tease, that should remind everyone that CTIA is right around the corner. To be more specific, that Samsung's Unpacked 2011 event in San Diego, California starts right at the same time.

Giants co-owner John Mara on Thursday repeated his bitter disappointment in the 2013 season but he said there's no reason to dismantle the entire team and coaching staff and start all over.
Mara, in an interview this afternoon on WFAN, said the Giants have a lot of work to do but he can envision the team making a quick worst-to-first turnaround next season as did the Chiefs and Panthers did this season.
"There always comes a time when you have to shake things up a bit," Mara said. "But we win a Super Bowl (in 2011). We're disappointed by our performance towards the end of last season, and this year we go 7-9 and have our first losing season since 2004.
"I just don't think that merits a clean house and blowing the whole thing up and bringing in a whole new staff. I just think in the long run that hurts you.
"I don't think this is the time. I just think people have to be patient and accept the fact we had a lot of injuries this year and yes, we have missed on some draft picks and some of our free agents haven't worked out in the past year or two, but I just have a lot of confidence in our staff and coaches and I think we'll get it turned around."
Mara repeated that he didn't see a 0-6 start coming. While he pointed out that the Giants led the league by a big margin with 91 games lost by injury, he admitted that the organization may have "overvalued" some of its players.
The Giants (7-9) have missed the playoffs in four of the past five seasons but the one season they did make the postseason ended with them winning the Super Bowl.
"I hate the fact we missed the playoffs in four of five years but there is nothing like winning the Super Bowl," Mara said. "I wouldn't trade that (winning the Super Bowl) for making the playoffs three or four years in a row. I want to be a more consistent team for sure but I wouldn't trade that (winning the Super Bowl for more playoff appearances)."
Mara, who is always candid, touched on several topics during the interview:
• On the offensive coordinator search: "I don't know if you'll see (an answer) this week. I know that we're talking to at least four individuals (Mike Sullivan, Dowell Loggains, Ben McAdoo and Karl Dorrell) and there may be some more at some point, too. I'm not sure how soon you'll see (a decision)."
• On coach Tom Coughlin's future: "I don't think the age is so much a factor. I think we'll both know when it's time. He still has the energy of a much, much younger man. He still has the desire and motivation to win. He wants to win as badly as anybody. He still works as hard.
"I think the players still listen to him. I go to practice. I watch him. I watch how he teaches. I think he still has the ability to motivate them. ... He didn't all of a sudden forget how to coach. The guy is still as good a coach as there is out there. Let's see if we can help him by getting him some better personnel."
• On former offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride: "He retired and fortunately it didn't come to any situation where he had to be forced out. The most unpopular guy on any football team is always the offensive coordinator. It doesn't matter how much success you have, the minute things start to go bad, everybody jumps on him. People have short memories in regards to Kevin. I told him when I saw him the other day, we wouldn't have won two Super Bowls without him."
• On improving the team: "We do need help on offense and we'll address that in the draft and free agency as well. We have to have a strong draft. We think the first three players we picked last season (Justin Pugh, Johnathan Hankins and Damontre Moore) will be very good players for us."
• On David Wilson: "We're hopeful David will be able to play for us next year. Only time will tell." Mara added that the team isn't quite ready to give up on Wilson. The organization wants to see what he can do when he's healthy.
• On Justin Tuck: "We'd love to have Justin back. It has to be at the right number." Mara said making tough decisions "great players and loyal players" like Tuck is one of the toughest parts of his job. He said it come down to how you allocate your money under the salary cap.
• On Hakeem Nicks: "He was a great player for us his first three years. It wasn't his best year. I do think he's still a quality NFL receiver." Mara added that hopefully Nicks can go his career back on track with the Giants or "somebody else."
• On Jerrel Jernigan: After saying he didn't understand why it took the team three seasons to discover Jernigan could play, he said injuries slowed his development and coaches tend to go with proven veterans.

Mumbai model Poonam Pandey promises a bare all if her cricket team beats Sri Lanka for the World Cup.
In a news release from New Delhi, young model Pandey thinks nudity will inspire the Indian cricketeers to play better in front of their home crowd to bring home their first championship since 1983.
She says she'll either strip in front of thousands if permitted, but she's also open to a dressing room only peep show if the Indian cricket board permits it.
"I'm a cricket fanatic and a diehard supporter of my nation," she reportedly said. "India needs lots of support and this is my way of supporting the team."
She promises this is not a publicity stunt and wants "to excite our boys to play better."
Hold it! Let's think this over a bit.
Don't cricket matches last a long time?
Don't you stay in one spot for quite a while?
If it rains, might we see a sticky wicket?
I'm not sure having your cricket players excited about nude models will allow them to be their best.
How well can you bowl when aroused?
I'm just asking.
We've got some slides and videos and more questions.
