MUSKEGON, MI – The Muskegon City Commission will begin its discussions of the future of the CJ's on the Beach property at Pere Marquette Park at Monday's work session.
The city of Muskegon in October sued CJ's on the Beach owners in Muskegon County District Court to evict the business from the building at 1601 Beach St. The city, which owns the land, leased it to the beach bar owners who owned the business, liquor license and the building.
In a settlement last month before the city's eviction case went to trial before Judge Harold F. Closz III, the two parties agreed that the business would pay the city $500 and give the city possession of the property and building by Feb. 25. The business had owed the city more than $22,000 in rent and taxes, according to the city law suit.
Now the city commission has many options in front of it for the beach bar building and property. The CJ's on the Beach discussion will likely open up the whole future of commercial development at the community's premier Lake Michigan beach.
That discussion begins at the work session Monday at 5:30 p.m. at Muskegon City Hall, 933 Terrace St. The city commission's regular meeting is Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
On the work session agenda also are discussions on changes to a dozen intersection traffic lights based on a study by URS of Grand Rapids. Commissioners also will again discuss senior transit services in the city and update the city's vision statement.
Tuesday's regular agenda will have separate items on two summer events, Muskegon Bike Time 2013 and the new Lakeshore Art Festival. Both July events will need special event permits approved by the city commission.
Finally, the city commission will have a public hearing on its annual list of liquor license renewals for the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. City policy is only to recommend renewal of a liquor license if the license holder is in compliance with city ordinances and is current on city fees and taxes.
The work session and regular meetings of the Muskegon City Commission are in the commission chambers at City Hall and open to the public. Citizens can address any of the agenda items and at the end of the meeting bring up other issues of public concern.

"Who shot the chicken?"
That's the question written across the plywood that now covers the shattered windows of the Screamin Chicken diner in Gaston.
At approximately 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21 someone shot at two of the windows of the diner. Husband and wife co-owners Garry White and Jeanette Noble were in the back of the diner washing dishes at the time.
"We heard a 'pow,' 'pow,'" White said. "I thought our stand-up sign out front had fallen over. It didn't. I checked the front door to see if someone had tried to come in. At that time Jeanette said, 'whoa, look at the windows,' and two of them were shattered."
Upon inspection, the couple could see where they had been shot. They immediately called 911. A Washington County Sheriff deputy came and took a report. Deputies have made several visits to the diner since investigating the shooting.
Sgt. Bob Ray, the sheriff department spokesperson, says the shooting appears to have been done with a BB or pellet gun, and an active investigation is on going.
White, a contractor by trade, estimated the cost to replace the windows will be approximately $2,000.
White and Noble have had discussions with several Gaston residents and hope to initiate some kind of public policing program. The temporary plywood sign declares that despite the shooting, "the Chicken lived," and they are open for business from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. The diner is located at 304 Front St. in Gaston.
If you have any information regarding this incident, contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 503-629-0111.

TRENTON — The New Jersey State Museum has debuted the exhibition, I Am the Cosmos, in its galleries in Trenton.
The exhibition, organized by scholar and independent curator Sara Lynn Henry, explores new cosmic art for our era.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a new mode of art appeared showing astral, spiral, spherical and constellated forms set into deep space. The dynamics of these forms are suggestive of cosmic processes. A large cohort of artists has resonated with recent discoveries concerning the stars, galaxies, deep space, the Big Bang, dark matter and energy. The stunning photographs from the Hubble Telescope (beginning 1994) and from space probes have made the actualities of deep space phenomena more real for all of us. Images from electron microscopes and high-speed particle collisions have opened up new scientific and visual domains. For some artists, recent discoveries have affected directions they were already undertaking; for others it has opened up whole new terrains.
Unlike earlier 20th century precedents, these 21st century artists plunge us directly into the vastness of time and space. Images are more tangible, astronomically and microscopically informed. Outer-space references multiply, suggesting abstracted star fields, nebulae, comets and cosmic webs of macro and micro phenomena. Spheres expand and explode. Fiery clouds of luminous, roiling atmospheres give birth to metaphoric stars. Galaxies spin and points of light congregate in fathomless dark spaces. Movements are elliptical, spiral and curved, rather than the more static idealized diagonals and perfect circles of the earlier art.
Museum Director Eric Pryor said of the exhibition, "This project explores two of the State Museum's areas of focus –visual art and science. Our recently upgraded planetarium brings the universe right to visitors through exciting, state-of-the-art, full dome digital video presentations. Now, this exhibition allows our visitors to see how artists interpret these new images of the universe which have been made possible by the Hubble Space Telescope and other explorations like it. It's an exciting time for exploration and we are so pleased to be able to bring this unique perspective to New Jerseyans."
Artists included in the exhibition are David Ambrose, Alice Aycock, C Bangs, Paul Brach, Amy Cheng, Kwang-Young Chun, Russell Crotty, David Hardy, Carter Hodgkin, Ellen Levy, Robert Longo, David Mann, Matthew Ritchie, Dorothea Rockburne, Todd Siler, Barbara Takenaga, John Torreano, Sarah Walker and Marlene Tseng Yu. The exhibition is enhanced by antiquarian objects used by astronomers, and by source material from NASA/Hubble Space Telescope.
The New Jersey State Museum, located at 205 West State Street in Trenton, is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 am to 4:45 pm, and Sunday from noon to 5 pm. The Museum is closed Mondays and all state holidays. (During this holiday season, the Museum and its facilities will be closed on December 24, December 25, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2011.) General admission to the Museum is free. On weekends, free parking is available in lots adjacent to and behind the Museum. Please visit www.trentonparking.com for a number of options for parking in downtown Trenton during the week.

The dinner dance fundraiser was held on May 3 in Bridgewater. Spring Run School principal, Paul Semegran, attended the event and accepted a donation of $2,400 from Dr. Tulsi Maharjan, District Governor of Rotary District 7510.
"On behalf of the students and staff at Spring Run School, I would like to thank all the members in the Rotary District 7510 for their support of our efforts in helping prepare our students to become self-sufficient, productive adults who function well in society," commented Semegran.
New Jersey has one of the highest rates of autism in the country, with about two percent of children affected, according to a Federal Centers for Disease Control report released in March 2012. Spring Run School is CEA's NJ-certified private secondary school serving students with more severe educational, medical and psychiatric disorders than their peers in the local school district.
Spring Run School provides additional resources and services to students on the autism spectrum and has enhanced their academic and transitional services for all special needs students who face greater social and technological challenges as they become adults.
"The Spring Run School at CEA offers an array of much-needed resources and support services for students with autism and other disabilities," said Dr. Maharjan. "In keeping with the Rotary's commitment to community service, we are proud to provide support that will serve to enhance the Spring Run School's excellent programming for students with autism."
For more information about Spring Run School, contact Paul Semegran at 908-782-1480 ext. 226 or email@example.com. For more information about Rotary, visit rotarynj.org.

Enumclaw School Board approves 2009-10 budget
With reductions already made and the school year set to begin, the Enumclaw School Board approved a $43.5 million operating budget at its Aug. 17 regular meeting.
District leaders have been discussing the budget since the state announced huge shortfalls in January. With $2 million in cuts made by eliminating staff positions, scaling back full-day kindergarten and doing away with sixth-grade camp, adopting the final budget was a formality. A public hearing drew no comments from the audience.
According to Business Manager Randy Stocker, when all is said and done, he expects to finish the 2009-10 fiscal year with a $1.7 million deficit, but still have $1.9 million in reserves, close to the 5 percent level the state encourages all school districts to carry.
Stocker said another dip in enrollment, projected to be a loss of 70 students, does not help. But, on the bright side, the district, which receives some funding through its partnership with the Muckleshoot Tribal School, anticipates growth there when the tribe opens the doors to its new facility.
The district will receive stabilization and stimulus money. The stabilization funds will be used to backfill losses, Stocker noted, and federal stimulus money has strings attached.
In addition to the general fund, which covers basic education needs, the budget also includes separate categories for transportation, capital projects, debt service and the Associated Student Body.
In other business, the board:
• accepted a donation of $6,000 from the Muckleshoot Charitable Fund to Enumclaw and Thunder Mountain middle schools for sixth-grade camp. Parents are undertaking a campaign to foot the bill this fall for a shorter version of the popular outdoor education program.
• approved Medosweet as its choice to provide dairy products to schools.
• waived fees for senior citizens to attend school district events.
• approved the 2009-10 part-time, temporary and substitute salary schedule.
• entered an inter-local agreement for purchasing with the Northshore School District. Stocker explained the Northshore district has established a competitive selection for Energy Service Companies to negotiate performance-based contracts with contractors selected from a pre-qualified list. He said by piggybacking with Northshore, the district stands a better chance to get in line for funding. The partnership is already paying off, he pointed out. The district applied for, and received, a grant to provide $100,000 for roofing at Southwood Elementary School.
• accepted the retirement of Thunder Mountain teacher Tim Nelson.
• transfered teacher Mathew Gaynor from Southwood to Thunder Mountain.
• accepted the resignation of Enumclaw High School paraeducator Brandon Johnson and assistant groundskeeper Justin Bray.

Local woman also claims $5,000 Visa card in Tim Hortons promotion
TRURO- It's a good thing John Terrio isn't a litterbug, otherwise he would have lost out on a brand new car.
By GWYDION MORRIS
Special to the Truro Daily News
Luckily, Terrio put his Tim Hortons RRRoll Up the Rim to Win ® contest coffee cup in his lunch bag to throw it away later.
At home in South Maitland, Terrio was ready to put the cup in the trash, but his wife told him to roll up the rim.
"It could be a new car," she joked at the time.
Turns out it was.
"I was in disbelief," Terrio said on Thursday as he picked up a brand new, red, 2014 Toyota Corolla from Tim Hortons on Robie Street.
The first person he called when he won seven weeks ago was his brother, Terrio said.
"I told him not to tell anyone."
Usually not an excitable person, Terrio said receiving the keys to a new car was the most excitement he had felt in a long time as he viewed his prize.
"It's not everyday you win a new car," he said.
Franchise owner John MacKenzie said the last time he'd given out a new car through the restaurants RRRoll Up The Rim ® contest was 20 years ago at his Inglis Street location.
"It's good for the community, " MacKenzie said. "And it's great for staff morale to see someone win."
A second car was given out on Thursday to Shannon Killam of Yarmouth. She picked up her car at the Tim Hortons on Inglis Street.
Another top contest prize was discovered under the rim of a coffee cup purchased from the Pictou Road, Bible Hill, Tim Hortons location.
Saida Faulkner of Truro was watching her daughter play volleyball when she rolled up her rim and discovered she had won a $5,000 Visa card.
"I couldn't believe it," said Faulkner.
To confirm, she turned to the people around her, asking them if it was real. Her friend was more excited than she was, jumping and yelling in the gym, Faulkner said.
"She did all the screaming for me."
With her winnings, Faulkner hopes to take a trip to Morocco, where she's originally from, to visit family and friends.
"That's what I'm hoping for at least."

'Friends' Blood Drive to help donor deficit
WOODINVILLE - The Puget Sound Blood Center (PSBC) is launching the "Friends Ask Friends to Donate Blood" campaign to encourage first-time blood donors to help overcome a summertime donor deficit that occurs due to the loss of school blood drives and summer vacations. To aid the campaign, a blood drive will be held at Woodinville City Hall, Monday, July 15, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donors must be 18 or older (16 or 17 with PSBC parental permission form), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good general health. To schedule a donation appointment, contact Karin Roberts, City of Woodinville Wellness Coordinator at (425) 489-2700 Ext. 2202.
With the "Friends ask Friends to Donate Blood" Campaign the Puget Sound Blood Center is hoping to simultaneously achieve two goals: increase participants in the program and overcome the summertime challenge. "If only eight current donors at each drive bring a new person with them we can ensure a steady blood supply to area hospitals," says Dave Leitch, Recruitment Manager, Puget Sound Blood Center.
Each day, the Blood Center must collect over 800 pints of blood for patients in regional hospitals. The need for blood is constant. Year round, regional hospitals are filled with cancer and surgery patients, accident victims, premature babies and others who cannot live without the support of volunteer blood donors.
For more information , visit Puget Sound Blood Center's website at www.psbc.org.

The house Wes Anderson built: A look at the director's singular troupe
His latest, 'Moonrise Kingdom,' bows at Cannes today
Gene Hackman
Appeared in: "The Royal Tenenbaums" (pictured)
What he brings: Aside from Anderson's repeat players, there are a handful of actors who have shown up in his work in one-offs. Perhaps they'll be back, but at the top of that list would have to be Gene Hackman. In one of his last roles before retiring from the screen, Hackman relished the part of a ne'er-do-well patriarch in the director's most successful film to date, the Oscar-nominated "The Royal Tenenbaums."

With LSU set to play Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl New Year's Eve, NOLA.com looks back on the Tigers' 10-win season. Follow along each day as we review how the season unfolded, show photo galleries of the best plays, provide film-study breakdowns of each game, and include video highlights.
It wasn't a dead ringer for Billy Cannon's legendary run in 1959. It wasn't Halloween, the Tigers weren't unbeaten and ranked No. 1 and it wasn't the winning touchdown, but Odell Beckham Jr.'s 89-yard scamper was just as exciting and important to the LSU victory as the one 53 years ago, wrote Jim Kleinpeter after LSU's 41-35 win over Ole Miss.
Some of that Senior Day intensity carried over into the locker room afterwards, when LSU Coach Les Miles addressed the media a little too passionately--you can see the video here.
In his Film Study, Kleinpeter noted that sometimes this matchup gets ugly but this game was full of chills,
thrills and spills. Odell Beckham Jr. made it one to remember with his
89-yard punt return for a touchdown to spark the Tigers' comeback. And he and Rosetta discuss how LSU escaped with the win.

Comedian Jodi Borrello writes a regular feature for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune entitled "On the Porch."
What is that one thing that makes you realize Mardi Gras is here?
Perhaps it's when you break out the ladder that you have owned for 15 years, or maybe it's that ice chest that you only use during Carnival season. For me, it's the smell of barbecue chicken. When that aroma reaches my senses, I become in a trance-like state, and my head moves from side side to side with my eyes scanning the neutral ground, trying to find that one person that is barbecuing chicken.
I didn't know this was my Mardi Gras trigger until the first Mardi Gras after Hurricane Katrina. My brother Robert rented a hotel room on St. Charles Avenue for that Mardi Gras in February 2006. I, still being the younger sister, was in charge of waking at 5:30 a.m. to check on our ladders that were sprawled out on our corner of the world that particular Mardi Gras.
As I hit St. Charles Avenue thinking all I want is a cup of coffee, my head started moving side to side as if I were a cartoon character, because someone was cooking, that's right, barbecue chicken. Six months post-Katrina, it was safe to say that all of our emotions were on our sleeve.
As I stood on St. Charles Avenue trying to find the chicken, tears streaming down my face because I was so happy that Mardi Gras was happening, I finally felt at home.
I finally found a nice, clean-cut gentleman in denim overalls barbecuing. I asked him, "Sir, can I buy a piece of chicken from you?" Immediately, he handed me a napkin, removed the aluminum foil that was keeping these mini delights warm, and said, "Here, baby, help yourself. You don't owe me anything."
I sat there that Mardi Gras in 2006 with tears in my eyes, ladders by my feet, and a piece of barbecue chicken in my hand. I was truly happy. I have never taken Mardi Gras for granted, and I never eat barbecue chicken unless its Mardi Gras time.
Have a safe, and happy Mardi Gras, New Orleans - look for me on the parade route. I'll be the one with barbecue sauce on my face.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield mayor Domenic Sarno has announced that he has appointed the first Latino to serve as the western Massachusetts city's election commissioner.
The appointment of Gladys Oyola was announced Tuesday and comes a year after Springfield voters elected a number of Latinos to city offices following years of lawsuits and protests.
As election commissioner, Oyola will be responsible for registering voters and preparing the city's annual census.
Oyola replaces former election commissioner Kathleen Fleury and previously served as the city's bilingual education program coordinator.
In 2009, the city ushered in a new city council system that included five at-large seats and eight "ward" seats, won by candidates from certain neighborhoods by votes from that neighborhood. Advocates said it gave voters in minority neighborhoods more of a voice.
More details coming in The Republican Thursday.

Once again Levy County has put off taking any action on joining any government utility authority until all of the municipalities reply to Chiefland Mayor Teal Pomeroy's proposal that the county form one of its own.
The Levy County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday and one of the items on the agenda was Pomeroy's letter to the other seven cities in the county to form a countywide water authority.
While the commission did not discuss it, they also received a letter from Fanning Springs Mayor Cheryl Nekola and City Commission Chair Whitney "Stoney" Smith.
The Levy County Health Department received its first shipment of H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccines — approximately 1,600 doses — late Tuesday, Oct. 13, and will make it available on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
While more shipments are expected, the vaccine is in limited supply, so the Health Department is following vaccination recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Those recommendations call for the initial vaccination efforts to focus on five target groups:
School Board of Levy County Superintendent Bob Hastings said on Tuesday that the school district's full-time enrollment decreased from last year by an estimated 96 students, raising concerns about a major source of revenue for the district.
Speaking at the school board's meeting, Hastings said that the loss of students would directly impact the amount of funds received from the state. The district also lost about 150 students from the previous school year.
The estimated revenue loss is expected to be $1.75 million.

Many people fantasize about taking a few years off to hit the road and experience " the real" America.
For some of those people, it's a journey they spend most of their adult lives waiting for.
And when they do it—if they do it—it's usually from the comfort of a large, expensive motor home.
And it's almost certainly never on a yellow five-seated custom-designed bicycle.
But that's exactly the way the Harrison family of Mt. Vernon, Ky., set out on their journey across the U.S.

The Oregon parole board issued its decision Tuesday to release Conrad Engweiler, who's in prison for sexually assaulting and strangling a 16-year-old girl in 1990.
Engweiler was convicted of aggravated murder, rape and sodomy in the slaying of Erin Tonna Reynolds, his Sunset High School classmate. He was 15 at the time of the murder.
After more than 24 years in custody, Engweiler, who's now 40, will be freed from the Oregon State Correctional Institution in Salem next month.
Here are answers to some of the questions readers have asked about the board's decision:
What was his original sentence?
Engweiler was tried as an adult and convicted of the state's most serious crime, but because he was a juvenile, the law protected him from the death penalty and life in prison without a possibility of parole.
Multnomah County Judge Kimberly Frankel sentenced Engweiler in 1991 to life in prison with a minimum of 30 years. But at that time, Oregon law did not allow that 30-year minimum for juveniles, and there were no parole board guidelines for juvenile aggravated murderers.
In 1994, his sentence was amended to remove the 30-year mandatory minimum prison term. That left the parole board to set the minimum term, which it did in 1999, when it gave him a 40-year term.
The Oregon Supreme Court in 2011 said 40 years was too long and that the parole board should consider his release immediately, which led to his 2012 parole hearing. The board then decided Engweiler should serve at least 28 years before reaching parole eligibility. That set his projected release date in 2018.
For more details, see a timeline of the case.
If his projected release date wasn't until 2018, why was he up for parole this year?
After his 2012 parole hearing, Engweiler pursued the issue of "good time." With a flawless disciplinary record in prison, Engweiler had earned several years off his prison sentence, his attorney argued. Taking that into account, his release date should have been July 17, 2012. The Oregon Supreme Court agreed with him and ruled last year that he was entitled to time off for good behavior. The court told the parole board to begin the release process for Engweiler "with appropriate dispatch," which led to his exit interview this year. The exit interview began with one hearing in May and ended with another hearing in August.
How did the board make its decision?
Under ORS 144.125(3), the board had to review psychological reports on Engweiler and determine whether he has a "present severe emotional disturbance" that could endanger the public.
That law says in part:
"If the board finds the prisoner has a present severe emotional disturbance such as to constitute a danger to the health or safety of the community, the board may order the postponement of the scheduled parole release until a specified future date. The board may not postpone a prisoners scheduled release date to a date that is less than two years, or more than 10 years, from the date of the hearing, unless the prisoner would be held beyond the maximum sentence."
In its Tuesday decision, the board noted that it could only rely on those reports to make this determination. The doctors' reports for Engweiler did not support a finding of a present severe emotional disturbance, the board's decision says.
What do the psychologists who examined him say?
Three doctors evaluated Engweiler at the board's request. None of them found him to be presently dangerous.
The last of the three doctors examined Engweiler for "psychosexual risk factors" and found no signs of any mental diagnosis. In her report, board members said, she categorized juvenile murders into two categories: those motivated by anger and those motivated by sadism. Engweiler's crime, the doctor determined, was one of anger.
A fourth psychologist, Orin Bolstad, spoke on Engweiler's behalf at the start of his exit interview in May. Bolstad was the same doctor who recommended in 1990 that the teen stand trial as an adult.
He told the board that Engweiler, who once appeared heartless, had changed. Engweiler had remorse for his crimes, empathy for Erin, her family and all those affected, Bolstad said.
What's his plan for life on the outside?
Engweiler has told the board he will first live with family before eventually moving out on his own.
He's worked for 14 years as an inmate legal assistant in prison. He helps educate indigent inmates about the legal system and decide whether to pursue appeals. He plans to use those skills working for his attorney Andy Simrin. At last week's hearing, Simrin said several other lawyers are also interested in hiring Engweiler.
Engweiler has said he's eager to form a strong relationship with his parole officer and continue with treatment.

13. Allow Faster Market Access to Generic Versions of Biologic Drugs
Expensive biologic drugs (medications made from living organisms) are used to treat conditions like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. These types of drugs currently provide manufacturers with 12 years of exclusive market access before generic versions (known as biosimilars) can enter the market. This proposal would reduce the exclusivity period to seven years. Because generic medications have a lower retail cost, this would save money for Medicare and its beneficiaries.
PRO: Under the new health care law, brand-name biologic drug manufacturers are allowed to sell their products without any competition for 12 years. This period is excessive and should be shortened in order to encourage lower prices and maximize savings for consumers and Medicare. Allowing seven years of market exclusivity is more than enough time to give manufacturers a monopoly to recoup their development costs. (Avalere Health)
CON: Drug companies have raised concerns that reducing the market exclusivity period could slow the development of new biologic drugs because it will reduce the number of years that the manufacturer is able to make money from the product to recover its research and development costs. If drug companies believe they won't be able to recoup their costs, it may reduce their incentive to develop biologics that could be used to treat many of the diseases faced by Medicare enrollees.

ARTfusion show set for Aug. 29-31 NEW
Five Sequim professional artists with different tastes and styles return for the sixth annual ARTfusion Labor Day weekend.
The show and sale brings together the watercolor art of Catherine Mix, jewelery of Paulette Hill, watercolors of Pat Starr, ceramic art of Linda Collins Chapman, and woodworking of Rocky Fankhouser.
The show moves from October and expands to three days, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday-Sunday, Aug. 29-31, at the Cutting Garden, 303 Dahlia Llama Lane, about three-quarters of a mile west of Sequim-Dungeness Way off Woodcock Road.
Mix said of last year's event, "It was fun and had a good turnout."
Chapman, who returns for a second year, said she made some contacts with people after the show including one that led to a gallery showing at Heatherton Gallery in Port Angeles.
She said she finds ARTfusion and her fellow artists to be an inspiration.
"We all work by ourselves and it gets lonely and stale," Chapman said. "I draw huge inspiration from these other people. It keeps me inspired. I depend on their energy."
Fankhouser, a master woodworker for more than 40 years, said he only does two shows — ARTfusion, and the Sequim Arts Studio Tour, which stopped this summer.
"It's magic to have things appear before you in 3-D," he said. "This is a way to justify to have that happen."
This year, he and other artists are trying different methods for their art.
Starr is showing more experimental, non-representational watercolor pieces while Fankhouser said he's been interested in more segmented wooden bowls.
"It's an outlet for me," said Fankhouser about his art. "It's more personal and each one is different."
Mix said no two pieces are the same for any artist.
"None of us do this as a living," she said. "We do this to explore what's interesting to us."
For the show, Mix is featuring paintings from a recent trip to the Grand Canyon. She said many visitors come to see what's happening in the lives of these artists.
Mix added the show is an opportunity for art collectors to go Christmas shopping early, have a glass of wine and/or enjoy the Cutting Garden.
ARTfusion also features a gift store with pieces under $50.
Mix founded the show in 2004 with Starr and Diane Johnston, a Raku sculptor.
Participants' methods
Chapman uses the ancient decorative technique of scraffito, creating pattern and three-dimensional effects on the surface of her pots. Her porcelain pieces are wheel-thrown, combining both the traditional manner and unusual approaches to achieve risky and innovative vessels.
Fankhouser constructs fine rustic furniture, bird houses and weather vanes as well as sand-blasted glass and carved concrete out of wood. He adds round wooden objects and bowls this year.
Hill works with the subtle textures and colors from nature, vivid colors, energy and sparkle of crystals in her jewelry. She includes crystals, stones, metals, woods, pearls and beads in her earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
Mix paints with either pastel or watercolor — sometimes together — to capture the scenery of the Olympic Peninsula. This year, she includes paintings inspired by her trip on the Colorado River.
Starr paints watercolor landscapes and animal and she'll display more landscapes and vivid abstract work at ARTfusion.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, and James will be playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
Over the summer, Anthony Tolliver made his own version of James' "Decision," where he mocked LeBron's media circus and announced that he would be signing with Minnesota.
According to the Star Tribune, James had this to say about the spoof:
"I didn't see it, but I heard about it. We play Minnesota twice."
We can just about guarantee that James will try to teach Tolliver and the Timberwolves a lesson during tonight's game, but does LeBron really have a right to be mad?
Let's take a look at how the LeBron James saga has played at the beginning of this NBA season.

I am a single mom of a 14 year old. I am originally from Buffalo and relocated to the Central New York region about eight years ago.
I am starting to take advantage of everything that CNY has to offer.
With the Community Critics, it brings together my two passions: movies and writing.
My mom was a huge influence on me and encouraged my sisters and me to keep an open mind and to take advantage of everything life has to offer. She is a huge movie fan and I got that trait from her.
I enjoy almost every single genre of movie including comedies, horror, independent/art films, documentaries and action movies. My guilty pleasure movies are martial arts and blaxploitation films and anything Mel Brooks.
My motto in life is from the movie "Aunt Mame" starring Rosalind Russell, "Life is a Banquet and Most Poor Suckers are Starving to Death. LIVE, LIVE, LIVE."

"The Watsons Go to Birmingham" debuts on Hallmark. TV tweet of the day so far. TV Thursday.
TV Linkzilla Daily for 9/19/13 starts now.
"The Watsons Go to Birmingham," premiering at 7 p.m. Friday (Sept. 20) on the Hallmark Channel, is both a family road trip movie and a history lesson. When a Michigan teenager acts out one time too many, his family takes him for some attitude adjustment to his old-school grandmother's place in Alabama, where the family's younger kids encounter a kind of American culture they hadn't known before.
Based on the historical-fiction novel of the same title by Christopher Paul Curtis, the film is set in the summer of 1963, which was bracketed by of the Children's Crusade march and 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, both of which are revisited in the film.
Produced by Tonya Lewis Lee ("Miracle's Boys") and Nikki Silver ("The Zack Files"), the film was directed by Kenny Leon ("Steel Magnolias"). Among the cast: Anika Noni Rose ("The Good Wife"), David Alan Grier ("In Living Color") and Wood Harris ("The Wire").
Though the subject matter of the book and the film are historical events of a half-century ago, the story is told through the framing device of the Watson family.
" 'The Watsons' is first and foremost a film about a family, an American family, and in the tradition of 'The Brady Bunch' and 'The Waltons,'" said Silver during the Summer TV Tour in Hollywood. "It's (about) what this family has gone through, but it is first and foremost a story about love and love's ability to conquer in times of trouble and times of evil."
The film was made in Atlanta, where, like most places in the South, the past is never dead, not even past, etc. Hallmark has posted a companion study guide for educators at the show's website.
"The day we re-created the children's march, which was a very important part of this film, one of our makeup artists came up to Tonya and I and said, 'Did you know that I participated myself in the march?'" Lee said. "It was an incredible moment. And she talked to all the cast, and she came outside and she met with (everybody), and it was amazing to watch her watch this re-creation and hear her stories. And the next time she was on set she brought us everything, all the memorabilia.
"If you can imagine, her record was just expunged two years ago, because she was arrested during the children's marches, which was just amazing.
"We had moments on the set. And for me, I will tell you, I've been on a lot of sets in my life, it was a magical experience. It's this cast. It's the crew. It was a very special place to be. And there were moments like that that continually happen that really made it so important what it was that we were creating."
Further reading about "The Watsons Go to Birmingham:"
Rodney Ho @ AccessAtlanta.com:
"It's not a heavy civil rights piece," said Tonya Lewis Lee, Spike Lee's wife who adapted a best-selling book into a script. "It's more about the family and their dynamics."
Anika Noni Rose, who plays the protective mother, said the film is not "didactic." "It's told in a way that is palatable for the entire family to sit down and learn about something tragic in such a way they aren't beat over the head."
Courtney Garcia @ TheGrio.com:
"You need an event to galvanize a people," star Wood Harris tells theGrio. "All throughout history, it's like that. We just inherit the past, and nobody knows what to do with it, and then we get some event that reminds us…Rodney King, Boston bombings, Trayvon Martin, there's a list of them. They're all great big deals. In 1963, the bombing of a church, and for four little girls to die, I don't think anybody should forget that."
Rather than dwell, Harris believes in making amends with life and reaping the reward for toil and struggle.
"People shouldn't be reminded to feel bad, but just to be empowered by that," he continues. "It's like going from poor to rich. You take your experiences as a person who had these goals to accomplish like money and success, and then when you accomplish that, you are empowered by the moments when you didn't have it."
Brooks Robards @ MVTimes.com:
The movie version of the story spends more time in Birmingham than the book, and the Watson family is introduced there to a world where blacks are subjected to a virulent racism.
In a recent telephone interview, Ms. Lee called "The Watsons Go to Birmingham" an homage to the Birmingham Children's Crusade of 1963. "The book is widely read, and it's really funny," said Ms. Lee, a children's book author. "I came across it when my children were still pretty young. We read it out loud together." As someone who grew up in segregated Virginia, the story resonated with her. "It was a great way to talk to my kids about segregation — it was a way to make history relevant and interesting."

Familial Dysautonomia
Familial dysautonomia (FD), also called Riley-Day syndrome, is an inherited disorder that affects the nervous system. The nerve fibers of people born with FD don't work properly. For this reason, they have trouble feeling pain, temperature, skin pressure and the position of their arms and legs. They can't fully experience taste. In addition, people born with FD have a hard time regulating bodily functions, a condition called dysautonomia. These functions are managed by the autonomic nervous system — the network of nerves that controls such "automatic" functions as breathing and sweating. In people with FD, dysautonomia can affect many vital functions. It can cause difficulties in swallowing, digestion and passing urine. It also can interfere with the control of blood pressure, body temperature and the production of tears to keep the eyes moist. FD primarily affects Jews of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) background. It is a genetic problem that is caused by an inherited mutation, or change, in a gene called IKBKAP. Scientists believe that a mutation in this gene interferes with the body's ability to produce a key protein necessary for nerves to develop and function normally. FD only occurs when someone inherits two copies of the mutated or changed gene, one from each parent. If a child inherits only one copy of the mutated IKBKAP gene from one parent, and one normal gene from the other parent, he or she will be a "carrier" of FD. Although he will not show symptoms of the illness, a carrier can pass the gene to his or her children without ever even knowing that they have it. Doctors estimate that about one out of every 30 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of FD. This means that roughly one in every 3,600 children of Ashkenazi families is born with the disorder. In most cases, an FD carrier is unaware of the genetic problem until a close family member — child, sibling, niece or nephew — shows symptoms of the disorder.

I had quotes from $300-$600 dollars for the purchase and install of this hitch. I was told it was very hard to find...at least a week and 2-4 hours labor...lots of drilling I put it in myself in 15 minutes, no drilling. I had to wait 5 minutes for the liquid wrench to work its magic on the old tow hooks. The wiring was pretty easy also, but that took another 20 minutes.

They are a reflection of an increasingly multi-cultural and environmentally-aware society.
Streets across Britain are being given 'modern' names such as Karma Way, Safety Drive and Euro Close.
Dr David Green, a geographer from King's College London, told the Sunday Telegraph: 'Street names reflect modern culture and society and preoccupations. They now also show a worldwide influence.'
Among the streets with a meditative theme are Karma Way in Harrow, north London, and Samsara Road in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Both use phrases from Indian religions to do with cause and effect and reincarnation respectively.
Meanwhile, perhaps Yoga Way in Sutton, south London, is a relaxing place to live. Or the financially motivated may want to move to Euro Close in Brent, north London.
Others follow an environmental theme. Eco Way in Doncaster and Sustainability Way in Leyland, Lancashire, are both products of a society aware of scientists' claims about climate change.
Many road names reflect Britain's immigrant communities.
Polonez Court in Swindon shares its name with a Communist-era car manufacturer. The Berkshire town has seen an influx of eastern Europeans so the local council has approved the use of 15 Polish words for new developments. Oberek Lane is named after a folk dance.
An Arabic term for mosque has been used to name Masjid Lane in Tower Hamlets, east London, while there is an Allama Iqbal Road in Bolton, Greater Manchester, named after Sir Muhammad Iqbal, an early 20th Century poet who was a strong advocator of the spiritual revival of Islamic civilisation.
Salaam Court in Peterborough, meanwhile, uses the Arabic word for peace.

"That's certainly not what my daddy's Mercury looked like," said my friend, as we approached the sophisticated, chrome-clad 2010 Milan I test-drove this week.
He was right. Designers behind the Milan's new makeover should be complimented for this midsize sedan's decidedly upscale styling. Its curvaceous figure is highlighted by an attention-getting front end, featuring a prominent chrome grille flanked by angled headlights and perfectly flared front fenders. And the test car was wrapped in a black metallic paint that sparkled like a starry night sky.
Inside was just as impressive, adorned in an attractive two-toned scheme of charcoal gray and taupe, most notably on the seats of soft gray leather with perforated taupe leather inserts. Even the dash gauges employed interestingly designed chrome accents.
The engine, an inline four cylinder that gets 31 highway miles per gallon, was so smooth and quiet with so little vibration, there were a couple of times I had to check to see if the car were turned on. Also, I never felt the vehicle was lacking in power. So much so, that I assumed it was equipped with the optional V6 until I read the window sticker.
Add to that, available navigation system, hands-free Sync communications, all-wheel drive and even a hybrid model, and you've got a car that's a pleasure to spend a week in.
All with a starting price of just over $21,000.
"With everything that comes in it, the Milan's pricing is thousands of dollars cheaper than our nearest competitor," said Irvan Melerine, sales manager at Marshall Bros. Lincoln-Mercury in Metairie. "And both the four- and six-cylinder models qualify for the Cash for Clunkers program," which offers government rebates of up to $4,500.
That standard engine is a 2.5-liter I4, producing 175 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. Mated with either the standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission, mileage estimates are 22/31 manual; 23/34 automatic. As I mentioned, this engine performed admirably and never felt underpowered.
However, for those who are into maximum power, there's also an optional 3.0-liter V6, generating 240 horsepower and 223 pound-feet of torque. Paired with the six-speed SelcetShift automatic transmission, mileage estimates are 18/27 FWD; 18/25 AWD.
The available technology in Milan is impressive. It includes a secure door pad that allows drivers to punch in a numerical code for keyless entry; the SYNC fully integrated, voice-activated communications and entertainment system; and a blind spot alert system that signals drivers when car's move into their blind spots. Also available is the Cross Traffic Alert. Tied into the rear parking assist system, Cross Traffic sensors alert the driver in reverse, of not only cars behind them, but also those approaching from either side, which are about to be behind them.
"These technology features put the Milan head and shoulders above the competition," Melerine said.
Standard safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes with electronic stability control and traction control; front, side and side curtain airbags; child safety locks; emergency trunk release; illuminated entry; child seat anchors; anti-theft alarm; seatbelt pretensioners and load limiting retractors; anti-theft system; battery rundown protection; and a tire pressure monitor.
There are four trim levels. The base Milan (starting around $21,180) comes with all the above-mentioned standard equipment, as well as power mirrors, power locks and windows, remote keyless entry, a/c, first- and second-row map lights, lather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel, six-speaker CD stereo with MP3 capability and input jack and 16-inch wheels.
The Milan Premier ($24,320) adds automatic transmission, dual-zone automatic temperature control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, foglamps, power seats, heated front seats, Sync and 17-inch aluminum wheels.
The Milan Premier with the V6 is $25,950; with AWD $27,800. The hybrid model starts at $27,500.
Overall, the Milan is worth a test drive for anyone in the market for a midsize sedan with an admirable level of luxury, updated styling and good gas mileage.

Listen, bear with me, the InuYasha series is about the mythology of Japan, right?
Why should it just be in Japan, supernatrual things are all OVER the world, I think it would be alright if I created things of other cultures, for me, Greece...
And I know you might not like me, I guess, but I am saying this should be alright...
Also, I might make a fanfic with InuYasha and the others fighting the greek gods who are attempting to take over Japan to make a new Greece.

Question Edit
Are you planning on having a series for your character(s)? If so, rather than pointlessly create my own that I don't intend or have time to finish without destroying my social life, I'd like to introduce my Inuyasha Echo in one of your stories. Besides, Echo has always been more of an anti-hero or occasional antoganist than a protoganist, plus I have an excellent method of explaining any power he will have, so it only makes sense.

Triple Play takes 11th; meets goals
"Be it the luck of the draw or just irony, the two fastpitch teams from Federal Way faced each other in the first round of the double-elimination portion of the Girls 16U B ASA Western National Championship held in Federal Way last week.Triple Play and the Federal Way ICE met up Thursday. Triple Play won, 5-0 and went on to the place 11th in the 46-team tournament.No other team in King County has finished that high before in this level and this age group, said Triple Play coach Gayl Bailey. Triple Play finished the tournament 4-2, after being eliminated by the Arizona Border Brats 3-2 on Saturday. The Border Brats scored the winning run with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the eighth inning.We was a pretty exciting way to go out, Bailey said. It was very emotional for my girls. There were a lot of tears.Bailey said his team had two major goals for the tournament - finish in the top 15 and be the top team from Washington. They accomplished both.Pitcher Kelly Claar led Triple Play with 32 strikeouts. Our defense was the best part of our game. We only gave up a total of 16 runs in six games, Bailey said.At the plate, Samantha Ganacias led the way with a .462 batting average. Sara Brown topped Triple Play in hits (nine) and hit .409. Kaitlin Bailey hit .412 and Lindsey McCown averaged .333 for the tournament.ICE was eliminated in its second game on Thursday. Goldstrike, which is based out of Kent and includes Federal Way area players, was eliminated a game away from the final 16. After notching two no-hitters in the round robin portion of the tournament, Goldstrike won their first game before being thrown into the losers' bracket by the Mid-Valley (Calif.) Sluggers, who went on to capture third place. The Goldstrikkers from California ironically eliminated Goldstrike.The Eastlake Blaze, from Redmond won two games before it was eliminated on Friday. "

NEW YORK (AP) -- "Walking with Dinosaurs, the Arena Spectacular" is coming back to the U.S. and Canada -- its first visit to North America since its inaugural 2007 tour -- and many of its lifelike puppets will be wearing downy feathers.
"We've decided to bring them up to date," said the show's self-described "resident dino geek" Philip Millar. "We've finally taken the leap and we're applying the feathers to the dinosaurs we're fairly confident had feathers."
Recent discoveries by paleontologist point to the possibility that a large number of non-avian dinosaurs had feathers or something similar as part of their body covering.
The show, based on an award-winning BBC Television series, travels 200 million years from Triassic to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, features 20 life-size dinosaurs from 10 species.
The new tour kicks off in Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena from July 9-13, then hits The Barclay's Center in New York City from July 16-20 and then The Prudential Center in New Jersey from July 23-27. Other stops are planned for Los Angeles, Kansas City, Montreal, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Milwaukee, Wis.
The largest dinosaur in the show is the 36-foot tall, 56-foot long Brachiosaurus. It takes three people to operate the biggest puppets and each large one weighs 1.6 tons, the weight of a standard family car.
A team of 50 costume designers and engineers have been working since last year to re-create the ancient creatures.

MLC Observation – Proms Then and Proms Now
It's prom season. You know how I can tell? As I walk through Ala Moana Macy's, I see the girls getting their make-up done at the make-up counter. Their hair already put up and curled. Their nails all done. I was wondering – do these girls pay the make-up counter folks to do their make-up?
I was talking to a co-worker who has a son in high school and she was telling me that proms nowadays aren't quite like how we remembered it.
For example:
The Threads ~
Our Days:
Remember how us guys used to wear pastel colored tuxedos that would match with our date's dress color? And our Celebrity Tuxedo rental was the kine with the satin trimmed jackets and the satin strip down the side of the pants. And the iconic ruffled shirt. And bow-tie, of course. And cummerbund. Honestly, guys never knew what a cummerbund was – until they went to a prom.
The guys wear tuxedos that look more like suits – with a regular tie or a maybe a bow tie, and perhaps a vest. And matching cuff-links/buttons/tie-clip. No ruffly shirt and over-sized jackets like in our day. In fact, the "tuxs" are available in Slim size now! Try ask today's guys if they know what a cummerbund is.
* I don't know too much about gowns so the girls can chime in here.
The Floral ~
Our Days:
Remember how we used to buy pikake lei for the girls. *You could always tell how much a guy liked a girl by the number of strands of pikake. 3-strands was just friends. 5-strands meant that he likes her. 7-strands means they going steady. And a girl wearing a "rope pikake" lei might as well be wearing a wedding ring.
They guys give the girls a French bouquet or wrist corsage. How are you supposed to tell how serious the relationship is without being able to count strands!?! But I understand that the guys still get a maile lei. Maile lei by itself – friends. Maile lei with Tuberose – they "trippin". Maile lei with Pikake or miniature roses – they going steady.
The Event ~
Our Day:
Most of our proms didn't include dinner. We would have a nice formal dinner at a fancy restaurant in Waikiki such as the Black Angus, Ship's Tavern, or The Third Floor. And after dinner, the couples would arrive at the prom – fashionably late. But folks would be arriving throughout the night, depending on when their dinner was pau.
The prom includes dinner and the doors lock after the given start time. If you're not there when the doors are locked – too bad. And if you or your date doesn't follow the dress code, you won't be allowed in. You can try changing to meet the dress code – but you have to be back before the doors lock. And there is a "contract" that must be signed ahead of time – by the student and the parent(s). And the date too – even if from a different school.
The Prom Court ~
Our Days:
Remember how it was a big, no – HUGE thing to be on the prom court? Usually it was the most popular and best looking in the class. Maybe a star athlete and the prettiest cheerleader? In fact, IIRC – the class used to vote for the prom king and queen and the runner-ups would be the Court.
It's not a big deal to be selected as the prom king and queen. In fact, my friend told me that at her son's prom, after choosing a King and Queen – they had to ask couples if they'd be willing to be on the prom court.
The Prom Pictures ~
Our Days:
You and your date would take a break, step outside and take your prom picture. The pose was the typical prom pose where the girl and the guy stand next to each other, then the photographer has them both turn 45-degrees to the left. The guy wraps one arm around her and places his other hand on her arm as they both turn their heads to face the camera. Two shots in case someone's eyes were closed. They you get the pictures later that week in school.
The pose can be anything from the guy lying down on his side and his date sitting on his hip to the couple using props that they brought along. And then there's the group pictures. Different pictures with a group of couples, a group of just the guys, a group of just the girls, group pictures with props. Any kine. And the photographer's not complaining. The more the merrier – money wise.
After Prom ~
Our Day:
After the prom, it meant that we got to do the adult thing and catch a late night show – drinking non-alcoholic beverages, of course. The show to see was the Society Of Seven show at the Outrigger Main Showroom. And when SOS was out-of-town, that meant that we caught The Alii's show. And for the brave ones, they went to the Noodle Shop to catch the Frank DeLima show. I say the brave ones because garans-ballbarens – Frank going pick on the prommies.
The guys take their date home. Then go to their friend's house or a hotel room for a sleep-over. What!?! No romancing? Whatever happened to "A Night to Remember"?
Boy how times have changed.

Chris Schultz says more experienced entrepreneurs are moving to New Orleans, and startups in the Big Easy are getting more focused. Voodoo Ventures
When I last spoke with Chris Schultz back in 2010, he characterized his adopted hometown of New Orleans as coming back from the agonies of Hurricane Katrina through a mixture of entrepreneurial pluck and smart young people willing to take a chance on the city.
Now, the angel investor and head of startup co-working space Launch Pad says another change is taking place. Seasoned professionals are relocating to New Orleans both for jobs and to create jobs by starting their own businesses. That, he says, is good for the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
"I think it continues to increase the quality of the companies," he told me. "Some of the companies are going to be built by folks that have more industry experience."
Schultz and I spoke as New Orleans celebrates its entrepreneur week, a series of events put on by Idea Village, a non-profit business incubator in the city.
The event includes a range of seminars throughout the week, capped off by a pitch competition Friday featuring 15 startups competing for $50,000 in seed funding and trying to woo angel and venture investors with their ideas.
Schultz said he would take in some of the companies that receive angel funding out of the competition at Launch Pad and those companies would ready themselves to pitch to venture investors at the Launch Fest event Launch Pad holds every May.
What Schultz noticed about the changing face of New Orleans entrepreneurs was also noted by Tim Williamson, the head of Idea Village.
In fact, Williamson recently held a reception at his home in New Orleans for newcomers and those newly returned to the city. As Mark Waller of NOLA.com reports:
Since coming aboard with Upstart's parent company, Kent has covered sustainability and business, entrepreneurs, technology, and venture capital. Now, he covers all the ways upstart businesses get their money.

So a bunch of us were sitting around the pool on a recent, impossibly humid, July night.
Our kids were splashing around and screaming their heads off. And, is so often the case when you get a bunch of suburban parents in one place, we started talking about our own childhoods, and how, inevitably, things seemed a whole lot more innocent in those days.
I've always hated this kind of talk. And I'd always mercilessly mocked my parents for their own gauzy-eyed Silent Generation nostalgia.
So it endlessly annoyed me, that inevitably, once hip GenXers had finally turned into our parents, talking about how things were so much better when we were younger.
Good Lord ... someone stage an intervention and get me the Nirvana Unplugged CD, stat.
When I was a kid in Connecticut, my parents would turn me loose on summer mornings at roughly first light, banishing me to play in the forest that ran for miles behind my neighborhood.
My friends, similarly banished, would materialize, and we'd spend hours following trails or splashing through brooks. Often, we'd grab our bikes and ride for miles along winding country roads.
We'd return home for lunch, and probably a snack at mid-afternoon, until we were called back for dinner.
My neighborhood was in the bowl of a valley, so all our parents had to do was stand on the front steps and holler.
The clarion call would bounce around the hills. And we'd hear it no matter where we were. After dinner, we were back out the door to play until it was too dark to see.
I'm pretty sure you could take these similar set of circumstances and transplant them to any town, anywhere.
From Tioga to Tyrone, or from Pittsburgh to Perkasie, if you were a kid growing up during the Reagan Era, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
And I bring this up because, to a person, none of us could conceive of cutting our kids loose like that today.
There's a little park at the bottom of my cookie-cutter development, probably less than a quarter-mile from my house, and I couldn't conceive of letting my daughter go down there unescorted to crawl on the monkey bars or to see how high she could get on the swing before she was propelled into space.
The other night, after ballet, my wife and another Mom struggled to align schedules just so we could arrange a play-date for our kids.
Seriously? What the heck happened? Had the world changed that much?
And it's a question worth asking after news broke that a 46-year-old South Carolina woman named Debra Harrell was arrested and put in jail and her 9-year-old daughter was taken away from her because Harrell let her daughter play alone for three days at a park while she was at work.
The child had a cellphone with her so she could call her mom in case of an emergency, Slate reported.
It's also worth noting that Harrell works at a McDonald's, can't afford childcare, and didn't want her kid to sit inside for hours and hours on a beautiful summer day.
She's now facing charges of "unlawful conduct towards a child" for engaging in exactly the same sort of behavior that I, and a lot of other kids, took for granted when I was that age.
The incident, on a lot of levels, seems like a massive example of state overreach.
As Slate's Jessica Grose notes in her piece, there's pretty much zero benefit to the child by having her taken from her mother and placed into the care of the local Social Services agency.
And, as a parent, it stops me cold. Could I seriously be put in jail for letting my kid play outside?
It's a tricky test.
In post-Sandusky Pennsylvania, if you don't think twice or three times before letting your kid get into a situation where he or she could be at-risk (however minimal that risk actually is), you probably need to have your head examined.
But it's also deeply sad that this is what we've come to as a society.
So maybe it's not surprising that a whole movement known as "free-range kids," has sprung up in response to modern helicopter parenting (that's when you hover so close that you actually ruffle your kid's hair).
The movement's founder, Lenore Skenazy, writes in her blow on Reason.com, "It may feel like kids are in constant danger, but they are as safe (if not safer) than we were when our parents let us enjoy the summer outside, on our own, without fear of being arrested."
As Slate's Grose notes, child welfare laws vary dramatically by state and are subject to varying levels of enforcement. Pennsylvania's own statutes got a badly needed tune-up in response to the Sandusky mess.
Angela Liddle, the executive director of the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance, stopped by the PennLive Editorial Board earlier this week to talk about these new laws and their requirements.
It's complicated, but deeply important, stuff.
But she also made an point that resonated with me as I thought about that recent poolside conversation. And it resonated again after I learned about the tale of Debra Harrell.
In short, we all have the responsibility to make sure our kids are safe; to step up and say something if we see a child in danger or at-risk.
In our litigation happy society, we may fear getting sued, or worse, being on the receiving end of a punch in the nose if we tell another parent how to do his or her job. But it's something that has to happen to keep our kids safe.
But maybe that's the fundamental thing that changed between those endless summers in 1981-82 and now: If we got in a jam, we knew that any parent in our neighborhood would step up and lend a hand — whether with bandages, a glass of water, or even a place to sit to get out of the sun for a while.
There wasn't a fear of a lawsuit or a slug in the face. It's just what you did as a neighbor. And you'd do the same in return. Good fences making for good neighbors, and all that, as Robert Frost famously wrote.
With parents sometimes working two and three jobs just to make ends meet, I know those days are long gone.
But it would still be nice if we could recover those days somehow. A kid in July who doesn't have skinned knees or dirt under his or her fingernails just isn't doing summer right.
