Endless possibilities seen for Cottage Lake Elementary project
by Deborah Stone
Features Writer
A series of discussions following a successful program of after school garden enrichment classes at Cottage Lake Elementary led to the decision to create an Outdoor Classroom project at the school.
According to Chris Berry, parent volunteer coordinator of the project, the idea evolved out of a desire to have a permanent space to do various outdoor environmental activities.
She says, "The children were so enthusiastic about the after school garden classes and there was this feeling that it would be great to be able to have a special area to use year round, both during and after school.
"The idea snowballed and more people got involved, including teachers, other parents and community members."
The garden space will be about four to five thousand square feet, separated into two connected areas near the newly constructed gym and a new pod of classrooms.
The south space will be the larger of the two areas and will contain butterfly and salmon habitats, seating areas for two classrooms and wheelchair accessible raised planter boxes.
The north space will contain a compost area, raised planter boxes, a trellis and seating for one classroom. Berry, a master gardener and past Molbaks' employee, envisions multiple uses for the spaces.
She says, "I see both the school and the community using these areas to hold classes, forums, seminars and even theatrical presentations. The teachers are already talking about how creative they can be with the space's possibilities in regards to the existing curriculum and adapting it to an outdoor setting. It's easy to envision core science and environmental projects being done in the space, but also you can easily tie in language arts, music, math and other subject areas. The possibilities are endless."
The entire school will be involved in the project, along with members of the community.
A design committee comprised of teachers, parents and students have worked with landscape architect Jeff Varley, of ESM Consulting Engineers, on a plan for the space.
According to Berry, Varley has donated well over 50 hours of his own time to create a wonderful design based on input from the team.
"Jeff works for Ron Guest, ESM's head in Bothell, who was approached by his office project coordinator, Sara Artley, a parent at Cottage Lake," said Berry. " Sara spoke with Guest about the project and he got Jeff to assist the school with the design.
" Jeff is not connected to the school in any way and he is this young guy with no kids who just wants to give something back to the community. He's been unbelievable in his devotion to this project and his design has gotten us into all sorts of doors.
"He's listened to what our needs are and processed all our input to create this great plan."
In addition to Varley's assistance, Deborah Rannfeldt from the Woodinville Water District is helping with grant writing and is on the advisory board for the project.
In-kind donations have come from the Cottage Lake PTA, the Redmond Garden Club, a local scout troop and the Law Firm of Davis, Wright and Tremaine.
The project will be completed in several phases over the next few years, depending on success in securing the necessary funding.
The first portion of the garden will be done at a volunteer work party on Saturday, March 31, on the school campus.
Several area businesses (who are donating time and materials) as well as a Boy Scout Troop and Timbercrest Junior High School volunteers will work with Cottage Lake volunteers to build raised planter boxes, storage units and a composting area.
An engraved paver fundraiser will be launched on Friday, March 16, at the Cottage Lake Elementary School auction which will be held at Timbercrest Junior High.
The total cost of the project will be approximately $40,000.
"If we meet our funding goals," explains Berry, "then we will be able to complete the south space hopefully over the summer. We are taking this one step at a time, as it's a grassroots operation. We hope to generate lots of enthusiasm for the project and bring many people into helping achieve our goal.
"It's so important to have a space tied to our environment as we're in such a natural setting here at Cottage Lake and it's something that everyone can benefit by and appreciate. With the school's remodel completed, it seems like the perfect time to launch this project and make our dreams a reality."

Syracuse 61, Indiana 50
Verizon Center, Washington, D.C.
The stakes:
A spot in Saturday's regional final against Marquette for a chance at the Final Four. And, for Indiana coach Tom Crean, that would've been against the school he took to its last Final Four. Oh, well.
The ramifications:
It's an all-Big East party on a Big East court for the right to go to Atlanta. The Orange, leaving for the ACC, will go round one last time with league brothers as tough as they are at 4:30 on Saturday. The teams met once this year, just a month ago in Milwaukee, the Golden Eagles winning 74-71 with a big finish. Marquette's big 6-8, 290-pound center Davante Gardner went for 26 including 12-of-13 at the foul line.
The narrative:
This was in every way a Big East game. It could've been just as well played on asphalt. The Big Ten likes to talk tough but this was like a bunch of suburban middle school kids getting dropped off at the wrong trolley stop in the Big City. Syracuse owned it front to back.
Three guys were exposed for Indiana in what was an NBA-style scrum allowed to bump and grind by lenient but consistent refs – Jordan Hulls, Cody Zeller (neither surprising) and to an extent Victor Oladipo (a little bit surprising).
From the start, IU had all sorts of trouble negotiating Syracuse's 2-3 zone, this year a hyper-aggressive match-up manned by spidery defenders more reminiscent of a John Chaney edition circa two decades ago. There were other factors in the game, namely the pro-like performance of the only surefire NBA player on the floor, SU's Michael Carter-Williams. But the Orange defense was the seed of it.
Syracuse immediately jumped to an 11-3 lead, then 22-9, then 29-11 and it was never closer than 6 (38-32) thereafter.
When the Hoosiers did make that mini-run, it was powered entirely by Oladipo. But it was also bracketed by two long dry spells in which IU could do next to nothing in the halfcourt. Indiana is a team without an accomplished lead guard and it was a glaring weakness in this game. It had no one – certainly not Hulls or freshman Yogi Ferrell – who could puncture the gaps on the bounce and get into the teeth of the zone to make plays. Zeller was equally useless, slow and timid and not strong enough with the ball from either the free-throw-line gap or the baseline.
Soon enough, Carter-Williams put the Hoosiers out of their misery with a pair of dagger plays in a row – an NBA-caliber runner off glass and a trey from left of center that made it 51-37 at 9:05 and dispirited a team that was ranked No. 1 for 10 weeks this season. On the occasions which he was assigned Carter-Williams, Oladipo had trouble checking him.
The stats:
Indiana tied its season-high in turnovers (19) and subverted its season-low in scoring (50). The Hoosiers shot .333 from the field (16-of-48). Hulls did not score and only managed 6 shots, 3 of those essentially in mop-up time. All 6 misses were 3-pointers, all but a 26-footer heavily guarded. Zeller was 3-of-11 on FGs and scored 10 points. SU was credited with 10 blocks but probably had half again that many and 6 or 7 were Zeller shots.
Carter-Williams rose above the muck of what was often an ugly game. He not only scored 24 points but had 4 of Syracuse's 12 steals.
The quotes:
"We wanted to get our guards off the point and enter the ball on the wing. But it was easier said than done. … It wasn't as much the missed opportunities to score as it was the live-ball turnovers that went the other way. The first half it got away from us a little bit. … That's the first time we've seen that kind of zone with that kind of length." – IU coach Tom Crean on his failed plan against the SU defense.
"He got the ball a little bit far from the basket. So when we had him out there we were able to get some help on him." – SU coach Jim Boeheim on Cody Zeller's trouble against the zone.

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 26 (UPI) — The U.S. space agency opened a new building Monday at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, calling it NASA's most environmentally friendly structure.
The Flight Projects Center was opened following a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by lawmakers and local dignitaries.
"It seems fitting that the new building, where teams will plan future space missions that use new technologies, also has the latest 'green' technologies to help JPL do its part to improve our environment here on Earth," said JPL Director Charles Elachi.
The building is the first NASA structure to receive "LEED Gold Certification" under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system established by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council. To qualify, buildings must meet several criteria, such as efficient use of water, energy and resources, and provide a healthy and comfortable indoor workspace.
The "green" features of the new building include:
– Outdoor lighting used for safety purposes only and directed toward the ground to reduce light pollution in the night sky.
– Low-flow faucets and toilets to reduce water use by 40 percent.
– Smart heating and cooling systems that know whether people are in a room and then adjust temperatures and ventilation accordingly.

ANN ARBOR, MI -- A new month, a new run.
Today I'm participating in the 5th Annual Twinkie Run. No joke.
I know it's April Fool's Day 2014, but since Jan. 1 I have been on a mission to get fit and try to stave off those extra pounds I put on when I'm on a search for Michigan's Best.
My goal for this year:
*To run in 14 5k races,
*And to lose 20 pounds before my first Michigan's Best search.
Well, so far I have done 4 races (in Gaylord, Hamtramck, Traverse City and Bay City).
And I did lose those 20 pounds before going on the road and visiting 33 bakeries and sampling about 200 doughnuts in 10 days.
But I maintained a running schedule while on the road, and I only gained 3 pounds.
Those extra pounds are off now, but my friends are keeping me in check.
My Facebook friend James Stover yelled "Hey Doughnuts" on Monday as I walked into the Wolverine World Wide YMCA in Belmont (near Grand Rapids).
"I'm here to run off those doughnuts" I told him, and a few others.
Today I'm ready for my 5th run of the year. I'm in Ann Arbor for the 5th Annual Twinkie Run, presented by Ann Arbor Active Against ALS. The run is at 6:15 p.m. and features a homemade Twinkie contest, as well as grilled Twinkies.
According to organizers, "the Twinkie Run was started in 2010 by Shawn Jyawook, of Jyco Sealing Technologies, Inc. The race is in memory of his employee and friend, Jim Mong, who passed away from ALS in 2009."
Joining me on the run will be Ann Arbor News reporter Ben Freed.
If you see me at today's run, please stop by and say hello. And let's share a Twinkie or two. I'm sure we can work it off.

Received your email about duplicated memorial for Leroy Morris. As you can see my Memorial was created 2011. His mother Diantha Empey Morris is my husbands family The Empeys. Looks like you created a memorial for him as well in 2012. Since I created my first and mine is my husbands direct family would deleting your memorial? Thx, LM

Thanks for that! I guess in the meanwhile it sunk below the surface. When we went to her grave in 2012 there was no sign of it. Anyway, there's a new headstone on her grave now.

Even with a new coaching staff, you knew the Chicago Bears were going to throw a heavy dose of two-deep safety coverage looks at the Detroit Lions.
While running back Reggie Bush was the primary beneficiary of a defense determined to limit Calvin Johnson, Detroit still had to find ways to consistently pick up yards through the air with the Bears clamping down on Detroit's star receiver using safety help over the top.
The team's aerial solution to Chicago's Cover-2 was tight end Brandon Pettigrew.
Pettigrew came into the contest with just five receptions for 38 yards, but he hauled in all seven targets against the Bears, mostly by attacking the flats.
On Pettigrew's first three receptions, and five of his seven, he lined up tight to the formation with one receiver to his side. On the snap, the receiver typically ran a vertical route, while Pettigrew fired off into the flat for a quick pass.
The Lions also used play-action multiple times to freeze the outside linebacker in coverage just a fraction of a second to give Pettigrew extra separation, which allowed him to turn up field after the catch.
The other way Detroit utilized Pettigrew was in the middle of the field.
On the play diagrammed below, Pettigrew runs what appears to be an option route. When he sees the deep safety coming across the middle of the field, instead of trying to go deep down the seam, he sits down in an open space and takes the easy eight yards on 2nd-and-10, setting up a manageable third down.

Congrats, that was an awesome picture!
Congrats Alexander!
Would anyone like to suggest how the bubbles were formed in the ice? Also, why we assume that the gas is methane?
Matt Young said:

Interesting question. Here is a guess.
Methane is a greenhouse gas. If a bubble rises from the bottom of a lake and encounters clear ice, it is trapped at the bottom of the ice where it absorbs infrared radiation and warms just enough to penetrate into the ice.
Water expands at 4 degrees Celsius; therefore it floats because it is less dense than the warmer water below. So as water continues to freeze and become a solid at the top, the methane can penetrate more easily at the bottom of the forming ice, and as it rises through the ice toward the surface, the trapped methane now loses its heat faster than it absorbs it; the penetration into the ice stops.
If the ice continues to form, the bubble is trapped within the ice as other bubbles are trapped below it. The next day, those bubbles also absorb IR and penetrate into the new ice below those earlier bubbles.
My guess was this: Methane bubbles are discharged from the lake bottom by rotting vegetation. The lake froze over and some bubbles rose to the top, hit the ice, and flattened out. The lake froze deeper and indeed froze around the bubbles and trapped them. Then more bubbles rose to the top, flattened, and were trapped. Then more. And more. I will be very surprised if the methane penetrates the ice, greenhouse gas or no.
The bubbles are stacked vertically because methane is emitted from pinholes in the mud; you can often see bubbles rising from the same place in a quiet lake. In the winter the rate of production of the methane is reduced, so there is plenty of time for the ice to freeze before the next bubble is emitted.
I will also guess that the vertical needles are air that has come out of solution.
Are the bubbles actually flattened; or is an appearance of flattening being produced by the refractive index of the ice and the angle from which this photo was taken?
My suspicion is that if the bubbles are able to absorb IR and become even a few hundredths of a degree warmer than the surrounding water as it is freezing, it will penetrate enough to secure its position as the water freezes. The bonding of the water molecules will be delayed along the surface of the bubble.
That is merely speculation, of course; I hadn't thought about this issue until you asked the question.
One could experiment with different gases bubbled up under freezing water by replicating in the lab the conditions in which the bubbles in this photo were formed. One would also need replicated a "sun" above the freezing water to see what effect it has.
I don't know if anyone has done such an experiment; but this could make a good science project for a high school student or college freshman.

Amethyst is found chiefly in Brazil, Uruguay, Russia (the Urals), Canada (Ontario) and the United States (Arizona and North Carolina). It is, however, a common mineral in Europe. Some of the finest specimens have been found in India, Sri Lanka (previously Ceylon), and Brazil. It is often found lining the interior of balls of geodes of agate, and in veins and cavities in basalt, dolerite (diabase), and other igneous rocks.
The ancients imagined amethyst to possess the property of preventing intoxication, and people addicted to drinking therefore wore in on their necks. The named is derived from a Greek word which signifies unintoxicated.
Not to be confused with amethyst is a mineral called oriental amethyst, which is a variety of spinel having an amethystine color, and is a very valuable gem.

DETROIT -- One game doesn't make or break a football coach's future.
But it sure can give you a lot to talk about on a flight to Morgantown.
Central Michigan University football coach Butch Jones finished his first season as a head coach with one of the most exciting games you'll see this holiday season, though it ended in a 51-48 loss to Purdue on Wednesday in the Motor City Bowl. Jones complimented the character of the Chippewas -- who fought back from a 34-13 halftime deficit only to lose on a last-second field goal -- then fended off questions about the job opening at West Virginia.
Jones reportedly is flying to Morgantown today to interview for the position, according to espn.com. It would be a second interview for the man who spent two seasons coaching wide receivers there, so it's more than just a courtesy call. West Virginia officials spoke to him last week in Mount Pleasant, when he told them they would have to come north to talk to him because he did not want to be distracted from this week's bowl game. So they did.
After Wednesday's game, Jones didn't want to comment on the situation, answering the question about today's reported trip with a question of his own:
"Anyone want to come with me?" he said.
It was a puzzling response. But one thing was certain -- he didn't want to talk about where he was going, only where he's been.
"I'm not going to comment," he said. "I'm just going to talk about CMU, and the future is bright."
So CMU found itself playing in a bowl game with questions surrounding the head coach.
Sound familiar? Last year, it was Jeff Quinn as interim coach leading the Mid-American Conference champion Chippewas in the Motor City Bowl, after Brian Kelly had vacated the position to take over at Cincinnati. One year later, after another MAC title, it's Jones on the hot seat.
The Motor City Bowl won't make or break a coach's future. It didn't last year for Quinn, who had hoped to become the Chippewas' next head coach after CMU rolled to a 31-14 victory against Middle Tennessee State at Ford Field. Quinn's record remains 1-0 as a head coach after he joined Kelly in Cincinnati, after it became apparent CMU was not going to hire Quinn for the job.
Jones' Motor City Bowl loss isn't going to decide his fate at West Virginia, which has a tough task trying to replace the highly successful Rich Rodriguez. The Mountaineers' faithful are livid that the guy who led them to national prominence left for Michigan, and probably don't want to see a coach -- or anyone -- from Michigan in their ZIP code any time soon.
It's hard to believe that Jones, with only one year of experience as a head coach, is ready to lead a Top-25 program. Jones arrived at CMU with a lot support and praise for his abilities, but he had never been a head coach in his 13 seasons as a coach. It was an educational season, he said.
"I learned almost everything about coaching from A to Z," Jones said. "I had a good upbringing, and I was prepared. But to live it every day, to think about it all the time ... I have a notebook by my bed, and I wake up at 3 in the morning and write things in it."
Does that make him ready for West Virginia? Probably not, but he remains a top candidate in their search. Whatever happens, Jones said he is going to take some time to think about things.
"I'm a firm believer that God has a plan for everyone," he said. "Whatever is meant to be, is meant to be. I love CMU, and I love the players. I'm more concerned with what I have to do here. I want to focus on my players."

|RE: [TowerTalk] Making rotator loops separate
|Sun, 31 Aug 2003 16:23:48 EDT
I use pigtails for all my connections to the beam antennas. Generally the pigtails are pretty long...around ten to fifteen feet. I have never had any of the PL 259 connections on the pigtails get loose or fall apart. The key is to stabilize the joint. The joint is not at the rotor loop or anywhere else where it would flex. Because the joint is so long, the joint is generally down the tower five or more feet from the rotor loop. I simply wrap up the joint with general purpose electrical tape, put some liquid electrical tape on it and then tape the joint in a HORIZONTAL position on the tower cross piece. This stabilizes the joint and aids in the water intrusion resistance. If you have a tall tower pigtails are the only way to go. It makes checking out and changing antennas much simpler. With the KLM beams, it is pretty difficult to get to the driven element to hook up the coax. With the long pigtail, it is a snap.

|George Noory
|Scott Schmaren, Dan Harris
In the first half, co-anchor of ABC News Nightline and the weekend edition of Good Morning America, Dan Harris talked about his research into meditation, and how it helped him to combat panic attacks and stress. About a decade ago, he had some life problems that culminated in an on-air panic attack, which eventually led him to look into meditation, even though he was skeptical about its benefits. He discovered that scientific studies have found that meditation can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce the release of the stress hormone cortisol; and neuroscience has shown that the practice can literally rewire the brain, increasing areas associated with well being, self-awareness, and compassion, while shrinking the area linked to stress.
A person can reap some benefits of meditation with a mere five-minute daily practice, said Harris. He outlined a three step process-- sit down with your back straight and your eyes closed; try to feel your breath going in and coming out; then observe the pattern of your thoughts. This observation of thoughts can help break a lifelong pattern of projections into the future, and ruminations about the past. With a meditation practice, "it's not like nothing bothers you anymore, but you get better at seeing when...your mind is running off and giving you bad suggestions," he detailed.
In the latter half, keynote speaker, author and expert in neuroperformance, Scott Schmaren, discussed his journey to transform his life, maintain a weight loss of over 170 pounds, and conquer life's challenges. He cited Napoleon Hill's study of successful people-- each had a chief aim or a major purpose in life, and before they went to bed each night they would focus all their attention on what their vision was, and what they wanted to accomplish. "I think success is a mindset," and people in all different walks of life and occupations can achieve it, Schmaren commented.
Writing out affirmations about your values, beliefs, and goals on a daily basis, stating them in the present tense, starting with "I am..." can help focus your intentions and bring them into reality, he suggested. Your mental focus whether negative or positive affects your awareness and interpretation of the world, he explained. "When you have a purpose, your life has meaning, and when your life has meaning, you do things to make that purpose a reality," he added.

I found an ice cream called "coconut bliss" (cappuccino flavor) and the ingredients are organic coconut milk, organic agave nectar, organic fair trade coffee & coffee beans and organic vanilla beans.

TRAVERSE CITY – Tyler Bertuzzi was a little jittery Friday, knowing he would be skating for the first time with a player he has looked up to for many years.
That player just happens to be his uncle, Todd, the 38-year-old forward for the Detroit Red Wings.
"Growing up, I watched him play all of the time with the Red Wings and in Florida and Vancouver,'' Tyler, 18, said. "Last year, I went to a few Red Wings games. Just to be on the ice with him was pretty exciting."
They dressed for opposing teams during a training camp scrimmage at Centre I.C.E. and were on the ice together for a couple of shifts.
Todd gave his nephew, the club's third pick in this year's entry draft (58th overall in the second round), a tap with his stick but didn't say anything to him.
"He likes to joke around, like off the draw, he slashed me,'' Tyler said. "We're related but you still have to play hard and do what you have to do."
Todd never imagined he'd be at an NHL camp with his sister's son (Tyler kept the Bertuzzi name).
"No, no, no, I didn't, so that was nice,'' Todd said. "We got a couple photos done so that'll be nice to send back home to my family. It was a neat experience.
"I haven't really been able to see him, kind of been rushing around here.''
They planned on having dinner Friday night.
"We talk all of the time,'' Tyler said. "He's always going to be there for me, he's always going to have advice.
"Obviously, it's my dream to be in the NHL, but to be in an NHL (camp) with my uncle has been exciting. I'm kind of following in his footsteps, and hopefully I can be here one day."
The Red Wings surprised many by selecting Tyler Bertuzzi as high as they did. The left wing from the Guelph Storm was projected to be picked in a later round. But the organization liked his abrasive style, likening him to Chicago's Andrew Shaw.
"I wasn't really expecting that at all. It's pretty high,'' Tyler said. "My playoffs with the Guelph Storm made it go that high, I guess. It's a dream come true and I'm excited to be here."
Todd assessed Tyler's play.
"He looked pretty good out there,'' Todd said. "I think sometimes when you're younger you get kind of running around out there, but I thought he made a couple of nice plays and did well.''
He hasn't had a chance to see his nephew play that often.
"I don't know if this (training camp) is his specialty, where there's really not much hitting going on,'' Todd said. "He's a kid that likes to get running around and set the tone. I know he's trying to work on his skill game and trying to take care of the puck a little bit better. This is a step in the right direction for him.''
Said Tyler: "I just don't want to run a vet. I'll still play hard, but I'm not going to do something stupid."
Tyler Bertuzzi will head back to his junior club in a few days. He'll take with him the fond memory of having attended an NHL camp with his uncle.

|Krav Maga vs other martial arts
|Written by Edvin Eshagh
So you want to compare Krav Mega to other martial arts? Well, let me share with you my training session in Krav Maga. I hold a black belt in Moore's Shou Shu chinese martial arts.
Here is my impression of Krav Maga after first training session. But before I start, allow me to tell you a little about myself. At age 18, I trained with Okinawa-Te karate. Like many, I was happy with my training, and I did well because of sparing session that we had (no, not full contact). During sparing we continued fighting even if we ended up on the ground. Through that experience I learned how to position and move my body against another physical force.

A Lower Nazareth Township resident died today in a racecar crash at a Maryland track, according to his widow.
Lamont Akins, 48, died at 12:20 p.m. in a crash during a race at Maryland International Raceway, said Akins' widow, Lori. She went to the track after receiving word of the crash this afternoon and was returning tonight to the Lehigh Valley.
"I don't know what happened," she said. "They're doing an autopsy."
The news blog smnewsnet.com reported Akins was thrown from the car after it flipped several times.
Lori Akins said her husband was an avid racer and was at the track pursuing his hobby.
The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office had no information on the incident. Representatives at the racetrack in Mechanicsville, Maryland, directed questions to a manager reporting to work Tuesday morning.
Charles Wynn, of Easton, who described himself as a close friend of Akins, said Akins worked at VIP Honda in North Plainfield, N.J.
"He was a great guy, a hardworking guy," Wynn said.
Lori Akins said the family split time living in Lower Nazareth and at her mother's home in Greenwich Township.

Business Incentive Program for Investment and Job Creation by Manufacturers
Shall urban renewal district zones be created to stimulate converting targeted warehouses to manufacturing by partially rebating property tax increment?
Many cities offer financial incentive programs to attract business investment. Wilsonville proposes adopting an incentive program to target conversion of vacant or underutilized industrial buildings to manufacturing operations and create jobs.
Up to six buildings over 100,000 square feet in size would be established as Tax Increment Financing Zones. Each Zone would rebate to qualifying companies up to 75 percent of increased property tax increment for three years for investment of at least $25 million in capital improvements and/or qualified equipment, and creation of 75 or more new full-time jobs paying at least 125 percent of the average Clackamas County wage. Two additional years of rebate available if the 75 new jobs pay at least 150 percent of average county wage.
Each Zone would terminate 10 years after first rebate; non-performance by company would require repayment. If no qualifying investment occurs within five years of creating Zone, it would terminate.
Other taxing districts including schools and fire district would receive 25 percent of increased property tax increment.
The proposed ballot measure seeks voter input on the creation of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Zone (TIF Zone) program that would establish one or more single-property urban renewal TIF Zones. The purpose of these Zones would be to provide targeted economic development incentives through limited property-tax rebates. The objective of the TIF Zone program is to place the City of Wilsonville in a more competitive position in the greater Portland region, the State of Oregon and the global economy in order to gain a greater share of private-sector business investment.
The Zone program was designed to incentivize the private-sector to convert lower-value, vacant or underutilized industrial buildings into higher-value manufacturing sites that give the properties a higher assessed valuation and a larger employment base, at a higher wage level. Based on a company's investment, property valuation should increase and, as a result, property taxes also increase. The program would rebate a portion of any increased property tax payment back to the company, as described below. The program would provide manufacturing businesses with a financial incentive to make the capital investment needed to upgrade large industrial properties into higher-value manufacturing facilities, with the expectation that such investment would result in an increase to property value and an increased number of manufacturing-wage jobs. If the minimum investment is not made, if the property value does not increase, or if the required minimum number of new jobs is not created, as outlined below, then no rebate would be made.
If a company's investment meets the criteria below within the first five years of the life of a given Zone, the Zone could have up to a 10-year term, at which time the Zone would be closed. If the criteria are not met within the first five years, the Zone would automatically be closed. Each Zone would share at least 25% of the increased property tax increment with other taxing districts, such as schools and the fire district, and then rebate the balance of incrementally-paid taxes back to the company. A company would receive a rebate of up to 75% of the increase in property taxes paid as a result of the increased valuation due to the company's investment. Thus, the greater the investment, the greater the rebate.

Gov. Chris Christie's defenders are celebrating a ruling issued Wednesday that knocked down two critical subpoenas issued by the legislative committee investigating the Bridgegate scandal.
The lesson, to them, is that the Legislature should wind down its inquiry and let federal prosecutors handle it.
"The U.S. attorney is more than competent to conduct an investigation," says Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen), a member of the committee.
That is a fundamental misreading of the decision by Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson, one of the state's most respected jurists. The truth is that her ruling closed one door and opened another, leaving the committee a clear path to pursuing its investigation.
Yes, she slapped the committee hard for issuing subpoenas that were so broad they amounted to a "fishing expedition." And she vigorously defended the important constitutional right against self-incrimination.
That part of the ruling is a big win for the targets of these subpoenas: Bridget Anne Kelly, the governor's former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Stepien, who managed both of Christie's gubernatorial campaigns. Jacobson ruled that both face a clear risk of criminal prosecution, and so they have the right to withhold testimony and documents.
But the judge also gave the committee a big win by affirming its right to grant immunity to witnesses, putting her stamp of approval on a legislative power that has never been tested. And once immunity is granted, she ruled, the committee can compel testimony.
The bottom line is that this committee retains powerful tools to push the investigation forward. Punting to U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman now would be a cop-out of historic dimensions.
The committee's first step seems obvious. It should issue new subpoenas that are more narrowly tailored, answering Jacobson's central concern. The subpoenas she struck down asked Kelly and Stepien to turn over all documents related to the lane closures. Jacobson suggested a more focused subpoena asking for communications among Kelly, Stepien and David Wildstein, the governor's man at the Port Authority who ordered the access lane closures. That is certainly worth a shot.
The tougher question is immunity. If the committee is not careful, it could sabotage the federal criminal investigation. The most famous cautionary tale is that of Oliver North, whose felony convictions were overturned based on the immunity granted by Congress during its investigation of the Iran-Contra scandal.
But the committee can coordinate its efforts with federal prosecutors to avoid conflict, as was done in the Whitewater investigation.
Understand first that immunity does not provide blanket protection against criminal prosecution. It only means that testimony given to the committee under immunity cannot be used by prosecutors.
So if a murder suspect were granted immunity by the Legislature, then freely admitted having pulled the trigger, he could still be prosecuted. Immunity would put his statement to the Legislature off limits, but prosecutors could use evidence they gather on their own, such as fingerprints on the gun or testimony from witnesses.
The committee could avoid stepping on Fishman's toes by consulting with him and granting immunity only after his investigators have gathered all the evidence they can. When they are finished questioning Kelly, for example, she could be granted immunity and compelled to testify before the Legislature. Federal prosecutors could still use evidence they gathered on their own, and so it would be unharmed.
In the meantime, the committee could start questioning the minor characters and work its way up the food chain methodically.
There may come a day when the Legislature should grant immunity even over the objections of federal prosecutors. That hinges on which probe is deemed more important — one that could lead to short jail terms for a few key players, or one that could lead to the impeachment of a sitting governor.
For now, though, there is no reason the committee and federal prosecutors cannot cooperate. The ground rule should be that federal prosecutors get the first bite at each witness so that the criminal probe is protected. At that point, the committee should feel free to grant immunity to witnesses and compel their public testimony.
So Christie's supporters should put the celebrations on hold. Jacobson's ruling is a speed bump, not a roadblock.

X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat.

Stan Meador, unlike his brother, father and grandfather, is not a rancher at heart. But he does possess a great love for the land and conservation. And he's turned that — plus a lot of hard work — into a successful nature tourism enterprise on his family's Schleicher County ranch.
The X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat, located about 20 miles southwest of Eldorado, is not your run-of-the-mill lodge. The picturesque scenery, abundant wildlife and birds, and distance from the city lights make it a popular destination for nature lovers, activity-seekers and astronomers — not to mention those just looking to get away. It's also a hot spot for family reunions, weddings and other gatherings. It's attracted visitors from all over the world, and Meador often speaks to producer groups on how to diversity their ranch's income by adding tourism interests.
Meador is part of the fifth generation to find a place on the century-old X Bar Ranch, where the lodge sits.
The operation dates back to his great-great-grandparents, who came from Lampasas to Eldorado in the early 1900s. With 4 boys and a herd of cattle, they set up camp in the central part of town for several months — enough time for C.L. "Dink" Meador to purchase several tracts of land. The elder Meador and his sons established successful ranching operations all over the county, adding property as the young men grew and then started their own families.
"A reasonable portion of that land they originally established is still in the family,"
Meador says, proudly, adding that his 89-year-old granddad was born on and still resides on the ranch.
He says his granddad and dad ranched the land, but also had jobs in town — they were involved in the oil and gas business and owned the local title company, among other things.
"For them, this ranch was always kind of a hobby. It was hobby ranching before there was hobby ranching," Meador says. "They loved it, but for decades the ranch was only expected to carry its own weight, not to be their primary livelihood."
Growing up, Meador never intended on changing that. He went off to college, studying public relations and marketing at Texas Tech University, and, as he puts it, "never in a million years" thought he'd come back to Eldorado. He participated in numerous exchange and study abroad programs, and enjoyed living overseas.
"I was never was interested in ranching. I'm still not," he says. "I haven't been in a sheep or cattle pen in years — and I don't plan on getting in one any time soon.
"Most people look at ranch land and think of ranching, and that's why I never thought I'd be back here."
But something changed during his time abroad, especially during the 2 occasions he lived in the Netherlands. The country, which is one of the smallest, yet most densely populated, in the world, is a far cry from Schleicher County. The first time he brought a group of friends from the Netherlands home to visit the ranch was an eye-opening experience.
"When you get somebody who has grown up in the Netherlands out to a place like this ranch, it just blows them away," Meador says. "It got me thinking, 'You know, we've really got something here.'"
Planning for success — on their own terms
Meador kept telling his family what a great opportunity they had, and while they were very supportive, everyone had their own duties on the ranch and didn't have time to jump into a new enterprise. It soon became evident that he would be the one to do it.
He says it never would have left the ground without the great support from his family.
"My granddad has always been pretty forward-thinking and willing to try different things," he says. "So it wasn't like I started talking about bringing strangers on the place and met opposition from the patriarch or others with interests in the ranch. There was support from the beginning, which I consider a big factor [in our success]."
In 1995, Meador decided to come home on a conditional basis to try to get things started.
"I remember saying, 'I won't be here forever,' but 15 years later, I'm still here," he says with a laugh.
During the early stages of that planning period, they considered demographics and projected population growth figures for Texas. He says it became pretty clear that there were going to be a lot of people who would need somewhere to get away from the city. He believed that was something they could provide.
They just had to decide how.
"We sat down and considered what kind of opportunity we could create and how we could play in that ball game. We also realized that this wasn't going to be a silver bullet, and it wasn't going to just make us a ton of money," he says.
"I always tell people — particularly producers — this is not an 'instead of' kind of deal in my perspective. It could grow to that perhaps, but I would caution people against going into this saying 'OK, I'm going to sell all my cows and go build a lodge, and I'm going to do better.'
"I try to paint a very realistic picture for people and say you've really got to do some soul-searching, and look and decide what you want to accomplish. What are the possible benefits? There may be some benefits that are there that are not strictly financial. It's not going to fix all of your woes. But it can be meaningful. In a number of ways," Meador says.
Meador being free to create his "own existence on the ranch," as he calls it, has not only been a key to their success, but also everyone's happiness.
"We have a real division of duties here," he explains. "I don't mess with the livestock and my brother doesn't have anything to do with the guests over here. I've found a way to work with my family, while everyone does only what they enjoy. Not everyone does it this way, but I have no doubt in my mind that us doing it that way has been a big factor in allowing us to keep things going."
Meador also credits his ability to get away to keeping him happy with his job — unlike the average bed and breakfast owner who burns out after a few years, he says.
"I've got this thing out here, but I live 20 miles away. I live in town. I can drive away from it at night and I don't have people in my house. We've purposely taken a more hands-off approach, and it works for us," he says, adding that customers have to understand what they're getting into.
They've adopted the tagline "Our place, your pace" at the X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat and have used that to set the right expectations from the get-go — something Meador says is a must for success.
"You don't have to do the full-service, falling all over yourself, taking care of people all the time thing if they don't expect that," Meador says.
He says when people call and are surprised he doesn't offer guided hikes, TVs in the cabins or full meal service, he knows they are looking for something else — and he's happy to make some recommendations. While he's not saying those things aren't great, it's just not what works for them. He's created a niche and knows what type of people will be happy customers.
What they do best
Quite a few people want exactly what Meador and the X Bar Ranch do have to offer, though — a quiet, relaxing setting where they can do anything, from build a scrapbook, to observe and photograph wildlife, look at the stars, or, for the adventure seekers, take off on a bike trail and enjoy the beautiful scenery up close. And those people often come year after year, and tell their friends.
They've hosted countless functions, weddings — even bike races with more than 400 riders — but Meador says his favorite groups (and the most efficient use of their space) are the family reunions.
Families (or any large groups) looking for a scenic, out-of-the-ordinary place to gather can participate in the X Bar's unique "Rent the Ranch" program, where the group can have the place to themselves. The package includes the Live Oak Lodge area, which consists of a 2,000-square-foot lodge, accommodations in 6 private cabins and a bunkroom, tent campsites, RV hook-ups and a pool. The lodge includes a full kitchen with all major appliances and an ice machine, central air and heat, dining and living areas, 3 restrooms and a multipurpose room. Ample deck and patio space complement the lodge, and there is a large outdoor cook shed just off of the patio. Additional lodging at the Round House and Granger House, both on the ranch, can be made available if needed.
"It's great because they aren't sharing the space with strangers; it's kind of just their deal. They get this whole complex for one block price."
One of their biggest events is the annual Eldorado Star Party. Astronomers from all over the country — 164 last year — come to Eldorado every October to observe some of the darkest skies and brightest stars available. Meador says not only do the lodge and campsites fill up, but even hotels in nearby Sonora benefit greatly during the event.
"Everything is pre-sold. They register online for the event, souvenirs and any meals they'd like to purchase," Meador says.
The observation area is equipped with portable toilets, hot water showers, and even has Wi-Fi.
"They can be sitting out here, in a field in the middle of nowhere, reading The New York Times online while they wait for it to get dark," Meador says. "I often wonder what my great-grandfather would think about that."
From bikers to brides to stargazers, there's something for everyone on the X Bar Ranch — even a thriving endeavor for someone who never knew he'd find a place on the ranch.

In the brown water,

According to business administrator for the district, Rebecca Joyce, the defeated budget asked voters for a 2-percent increase to the school tax levy, for a total increase of $66,510.
Once a school budget is defeated, it goes before township committee to decide on the amount of additional cuts. For Alloway, the committee was able to ask the school to cut a maximum of $66,510 from their defeated budget — the total amount of the sought tax levy increase.
"It's up to township committee to either cut the $66,510, or anywhere between $0 and that amount," said Joyce. "That's the most they can cut."
During a meeting between township committee and school board officials Tuesday, the committee asked that the school board cut the entire $66,510 from the defeated school budget.
According to Joyce, the board had already cut $166,500 from the 2011-2012 budget before putting it to voters, which included the elimination of one teacher position, restructuring custodians, and cutting a morning aide position.
Now that township committee has asked the district to cut the maximum amount, the budget will go back before the school board to decide how those cuts are applied.
According to Joyce, it's likely that an additional teaching position will have to be cut, bringing the district's current staff of 42 teachers, down to 40.
She added that the school is limited in what can be cut from the budget at this point, and that any additional cuts will begin to affect programs.
"The problem is that 80 to 85 percent of the budget is comprised of tuition to Woodstown High School for high school students, and salaries and benefits," said Joyce. "A lot of those are untouchable."
This will be the fourth year in a row without an increase to the school tax levy, she added.
The next school board meeting will be held on May 10 at 7 p.m. in the Alloway Township School.

Amika Styler Cleaning Kit
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
The Amika Styler Cleaning Kit was designed specifically to care for Amika styler products.

Good, But Not Worth The $$
The product itself has been very useful to me. I use it to clean my Amika True Tattoo Clipless Curling Iron, and my Sedu Revolution Straightener. Every time I use my hair tools, I always seem to leave some oil and residue. When I don't clean it after a while, it seems to get some build up.
One quick spray and swipe after it cools off with this cleaning product, and the residue is gone. Product is left like new (:
The cloths are very good with picking up anything that might be on the hair tools, and over all does an awesome job on it.
The product itself should have a 5***** rating, but I don't think the price fits it enough.
But over all, great cleaning aid.

So Far, So Good
I like this cleaner. I use it to clean my Sedu Revolution and I've had no problems. It doesn't smell at all and I like that it comes with two microfiber cloths so you don't have to worry about scratching the surface of your flat iron by using something else. I bought this because I was unable to find the Sedu styler cleaner on Folica. I thought about purchasing Dissolve but after hearing about the strong smell I decided that an alternative was in order. BTW The box says spray directly on the styling appliance but the directions on the bottle state the you are to spray on the CLOTH then wipe the appliance. I recommend spraying the cloth then using it to wipe the appliance as it's just better to be safe than sorry.

10. Best Original Score: "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"
This year's Best Original Score category doesn't offer, to my ears, a vintage slate of nominees: Ludovic Bource's work in "The Artist" is bouncy but scattered, Howard Shore contributes Parisian class but little personality to "Hugo" and John Williams's pair of booming Spielberg scores aren't wildly different from all his other booming Spielberg scores. But Alberto Iglesias's subtly mournful, jazz-infused score for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is the only one of the nominees that felt to me like a virtual character in the film. Washing lightly over proceedings like gray London rain, it guides atmosphere without dictating feeling, speaks to characters without speaking for them, and plays pretty beautifully away from the film, too. Iglesias had a banner year in 2011. He was equally deserving of a nomination for markedly different, more abrasive work in "The Skin I Live In." A win here would be a neat body-of-work acknowledgement, while remaining wholly deserving on its own terms. --Guy Lodge
