In the back of her mind, Debbie St. John often feared she would find her youngest son dead one day.
Joey St. John had been honest with his mother about his on-and-off drug addictions. When he confessed to her in early 2009 that he had begun taking drugs again, she thought it could be prescription pills or cocaine, or maybe the methamphetamine that he had struggled with before.
In the back of her mind, Debbie St. John often feared she would find her youngest son dead one day.
Joey St. John had been honest with his mother about his on-and-off drug addictions. When he confessed to her in early 2009 that he had begun taking drugs again, she thought it could be prescription pills or cocaine, or maybe the methamphetamine that he had struggled with before.
"When he said it was heroin, you could've floored me," she said. "I had all these images in my head that you see on TV. I've never known a heroin addict or anyone who had taken it in my life."
Joey St. John got clean for about six months, but relapsed and died from a fatal dose he took while living in a halfway house in October 2010.
St. John, who was 21 when he died, fits a fast-growing demographic of heroin users. The television stereotype of a sickly-looking person shooting up in a dirty apartment on the wrong side of town is just that — a stereotype.
"The customer base for heroin now is very young adults," said Drug Enforcement Administration agent Clay Morris, assistant special agent in charge of the Birmingham district office. "Very young, suburban, middle-class young adults. That's a shift for us."
Earlier this month, "Glee" actor Corey Monteith, 31, was found dead at a hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. Tests showed that he died from mixed drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol.
Overdose numbers
In Tuscaloosa this year, two young men died in an off-campus student housing complex within a month. Of the 25 death investigations that the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit has conducted, five could be heroin-related based on statements and evidence recovered, said the unit's assistant commander Lt. Kip Hart. Toxicology reports haven't been returned in those cases.
In 2012, six of the 26 accidental overdose deaths in Tuscaloosa County were heroin-related. Toxicology reports are still pending in 13 of the overdose cases. Hart believes that at least two of those will be heroin-related.
In 2011, four of 25 accidental overdoses in Tuscaloosa County were heroin-related. Three of the 18 reported in 2010 were related to heroin.
DEA Agent Morris said that heroin overdose deaths have increased significantly in the Jefferson and Shelby County area in recent years.
According to DEA statistics, 10 people died from heroin overdoses in those counties in 2010. That number rose to 42 in 2011 and between 70 and 80 in 2012, Morris said.
Several factors play into the rise in the drug's accessibility and popularity, he said.
First, the demand for cocaine has lessened. Drug traffickers have opted to move heroin across the country instead, he said.
"The drug business is like any other business," he said. "It's economically-based on supply and demand."
The heroin sold in Alabama typically originates in Mexico and is a coarse, brown powder. Law enforcement in Southeastern cities have reported a black tar heroin being sold there.
"We're seeing the Mexican brown powder here," Morris said. "It depends on the organization and where they have their connections."
The coarse brown powder seen here is often mixed with water and injected. It can also be smoked or inhaled. A small package of heroin can be bought for as little as $5 or up to $20. A gram costs about $150 to $200, Morris said.
Heroin acts as a euphoric depressant. The drug's effect on the central nervous system slows mental function, cardiac function and breathing, sometimes to the point of death.
People addicted to heroin most often start abusing opiate prescription drugs that aren't very potent. They work their way up to taking the more potent oxycodone.
"Eventually they'll move on to heroin. It's readily available and is actually cheaper on the streets than most pills," Morris said. The increase in heroin use is very likely linked to the increased use and abuse of prescription medication, he said.
Heroin is more risky for users, because it's unclear whether it's been cut with other non-drug fillers.
"Heroin is much more dangerous because you don't know the purity level of the heroin you're injecting," Morris said. "Traditionally, the purity level of what you buy on the streets is in the single digits to the teens percent of pure heroin. If you're used to taking something that's eight percent pure and you get a shot of something that's 20 to 25 percent pure, the likelihood of an overdose is greater."
Erin Hinz, administrator of the Tuscaloosa regional office of Bradford Health Services, has heard many heroin abusers say that they turned to the drug after the 2010 reformulation of OxyContin, which made it impossible for people to crush for inhaling or injection.
People seeking an opiate high have begun to choose heroin over pills because it's cheaper, easier and gets you higher, Hinz said.
"Within the last two years, we've seen more people seeking treatment for heroin," she said. "They're often around 20 years old, college-aged people now. Typically, it's someone who abused pain pills and moved on to heroin."
Tuscaloosa Police spokesman Sgt. Brent Blankley said that narcotics agents are seeing heroin users who started their habit with pills.
"We've seen people overdose due to the purity of the drug and the users being unaware of how harmful it is," he said. "It's a very dangerous drug that's ruining a lot of young people's lives."
Debbie St. John caught Joey smoking and drinking beer when he was 15. Joey had been prescribed Adderall for attention deficit disorder. He traded those pills with his classmates, St. John said.
"He was able to get whatever he wanted at school," St. John said.
Joey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010, the year he died. The diagnosis came after years of appointments with psychiatrists, therapists and physicians who didn't detect it. St. John believes that her son may have turned to drugs as a way to self-medicate.
"He told me that the first time he ever used heroin, that he knew right then that he would use it every day for the rest of his life if he could," she said. "He said that when he was on it, he didn't have to worry about anything. There's such a sense of peace and euphoria. I told him that it would go away, and everything would be back and he just said that I didn't understand."
A year after his death, St. John was able to read the journals that her son kept while in rehab. In them, he wrote about how he wished he could curb his addiction because of the effect it had on his family.
St. John works as an administrative assistant and her husband is a retired minister. Joey was born in 1989 and had and older brother and sister.
"We lived in a modest home and had modest incomes. Our kids always had pretty much everything we could afford to give them," St. John said. "We're just a normal, middle-class family."
St. John's last text to her son was a reminder to attend a tuxedo fitting before his older brother's wedding on Oct. 10, 2010. She asked that he be clean that day. They would bury him two days before the wedding date.
St. John learned that her son had died from Facebook. She was at work when she received a flurry of friend requests from Joey's friends. She accepted, and noticed that one had posted something along the lines of "My heart is in shock, Joey's memory will live on forever."
The halfway house staff confirmed her fears. St. John believes that someone had delivered heroin to Joey at the halfway house and he took a lethal amount.
"And you can get it here now. What he was able to get in Bessemer then has moved to Tuscaloosa," St. John said. "For about $5 or $10, you can buy some that's about the size of a sugar packet. Any young person who's wanting to try it can."
Joey had been injecting the drug, she said.
Overdoses can happen if someone has been clean for a while and decide to use again, said Hinz, the administrator at Bradford. Users build up a tolerance that drops when they abstain. Someone who relapses may take the same dosage they were taking before, while risking an overdose because their body wasn't accustomed to so much.
"Your body is not prepared for that because it hasn't built up the tolerance," Hinz said. "That will be the time that kills them."
Heroin users don't often transition well from inpatient to outpatient care. There's a high unsuccessful transfer rate, Hinz said, and people often relapse when they're released from treatment. Longer-term treatment centers are needed so people can be cared for until they're clean, she said.
Quitting cold-turkey is rarely successful for opiate addicts. Medication-assisted treatment along with counseling yields the most successful results.
Bradford administers Suboxone to patients for four to six weeks. The medication suppresses withdrawal symptoms and opiate cravings but doesn't provide the euphoric high. It blocks the effects of other opiates. The treatment center administers the drug as part of an extended-taper Opiate Outpatient Detox program, designed to get someone completely drug-free. Some maintenance programs that use Suboxone or Methadone, another drug that suppresses withdrawal symptoms and cravings, could go on for years. Bradford is a 12-step oriented, complete abstinence-based treatment program, said Bradford Regional Director Chuck Wint.
Since her son died, St. John has spoken to school groups and youth groups about the dangers of the drug and how to cope if you love someone who is addicted. She said she believes that creating long-term rehabilitation programs that are affordable is the way to save others from their addictions.
"It's got a hold of our nation again, like it did in the '60s, and I don't know what the answer is," she said. "People need to realize that this drug, this hellacious drug, could be affecting the kid next door. This is happening to good kids."
She said that telling her son's story, while sometimes painful, is worth it if it can save a life or help another family. She still hasn't been able to clean out his closet, and said that she and her husband still talk about him every day. They'll always remember him as their funny, sociable youngest son who showed love to his family even as he struggled with drug addiction and the issues that caused it.
"He wasn't just another junkie," she said. "He was my son."

We took Erin on one of those Duck-boat tours in San Diego. You know, the ones where you board on dry land, drive around for a while having things pointed out to you, then drive into the water and motor around for a while having things pointed out to you, but lower, with chance of spray?
I think Erin had a good time. I know that Emily and I did, but not because we could see the seals in the harbor (or sea lions, I don't know the difference) or watch helicopters take off from North Island in pursuit of imagined bad dudes.
We had a good time because we watched people gush over our daughter. Sure, that happens all the time (because like every parent our child is the cutest one in the world and gets the most attention and blah blah blah...leave me alone), but this time it was particularly charming because Erin was the object of attention from an entire group of Japanese tourists.
Picture, if you will, the stereotypical, mildly racist archetype of the Japanese tourist from every 80's film and television depiction. Now, add smaller cameras. That's the group.
They laughed, smiled, pointed, took pictures, and eventually we let Erin go play with them for a while. She posed, she was bounced, she laughed, she stole glasses and hats. They couldn't stop passing her around, almost fighting over the chance to steal a few extra moments with her.
I know how they feel.
That kind of attention goes right to my heart. I love knowing that other people are just as enamoured of my daughter as I am. I am proud of her and her enthusiasm for the world and its inhabitants. I love sharing her with the world when the world asks, both because that kind of sharing will benefit Erin in the long run as she remains fearless and confident, and because it's really flattering, as though I have something to do with the way that she is and it is being recognized. A tiny little award for having some awesome sex one night fifteen months ago. (Uh. Where did I just go? Getting back to the family show...)
So, that's the feeling that I took with me Wednesday morning as I rode the train up to San Francisco to meet with a modeling agent. Constantly seeing pictures of babies in magazines and thinking "My baby is cuter than that!" or people asking if we've considered letting Erin model finally piqued my curiosity. One of Emily's friends does some modeling, and she has allowed her toddler to do some modeling as well, so eventually we slid a picture her way and it was passed along to the agency. Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Do you know, "why not?" isn't really a question? It's a statement. A statement about an inability to see reasons, not an invitation to someone to provide reasons that you can't see. It says "I can't think of anything compelling the other way, so...."
I walked into the swank office in downtown San Francisco, with it's posters of movies on the wall signed by actors the firm had represented, and I suddenly missed suburbia.
Yeah, this guy missed suburbia.
The agency was alien. Certainly it was an office like any other, with small rooms off to the side of the waiting area, and hardwood flooring throughout. But I couldn't escape the feeling of "factory" as I looked around.
The agent who had been in contact with us came out from behind a wall after I had finished filling out Erin's "stat" card. (She batted .327 for the Silicon Valley Toddlers last year with 47 goals and a 92% pass completion.) We sat down in her office and she gave us the run-down on the business side: little to no-notice calls, the agency handled both print and film castings, the need to get a work permit, late-morning weekday sessions, the trust accounts set up for earnings. It was all straightforward. She asked about our flexibility, and I felt the need to assure her that even though I'd be in school full-time in the fall I'd only have classes a couple of days a week and could be very flexible.
It was a straightforward "I think your daughter is cute, and has a great disposition, and I can find work for her" conversation.
But something turned my stomach about it. The agent was pleasant, and I immediately felt like trusting her judgment about things: she had the confidence that her position probably requires of her.
So it wasn't her.
It was the factory. Erin would go in, be processed, and come out as some refined (as in sugar, not as in hoity-toity) version of a toddler.
And I realized that the flattered joy that I took out of seeing the world appreciate her would never be captured if this were a job. And she wouldn't learn to love and trust the world as she does in those innocent, random encounters with Japanese tourists: she would learn to let the world love her.
That reversal was stark and bright at the same time. Stark like coming up to the edge of a chasm and feeling your intestines jump into your throat; bright like the hot lights of a police interrogation: "Why Not, Shawn? Why Not? Why Not? Isn't it true that this is Why Not? Admit It? No. No lawyers here. No phone calls. Why Not?"
We left the agency and I was already dressed in mourning black. I mourned the death of that naive dad who thought he could say "Why Not?" without asking it. There was no way I was going to be comfortable letting Erin do this (or making her do it, I suppose you could say. It's not like it's been at the top of her little toddler list of things to do this year: (1) Be a model. (2) Learn how to use a spoon. (3) Figure out why the cat doesn't respond to "kittykittykittykitty!!!!!" and sudden charges in its direction.)
Plus, they wanted 20%.
Fuck that noise. We'd burn the rest in gas just to get to the jobs.

ADRIAN — The Adrian City Commission will consider a proposal Tuesday to allow the city to enter an agreement with Savoy Energy Limited Partnership to build an oil central production and processing facility in Heritage Park.
The agreement also would allow Savoy to build a pipeline on city-owned land to take oil from wells on nearby properties to the central facility.
Savoy, based in Traverse City, has lease agreements for oil exploration on about 1,184 acres of city-owned property. The company has found oil in a well drilled on city-owned land close to M-52 a short distance south of Howell Highway.
No oil has yet been pumped from that well.
City administrator Dane Nelson said the central facility would be used to receive oil from the well close to M-52 and any other wells the company might drill in that area.
"They would collect the oil in one location and transport it from that site," Nelson said.
Heritage Park is north and east of the well close to M-52. Prior to drilling that well, Savoy drilled a well in Heritage Park but did not find oil. Any facility might be built in the area of the park where that well was drilled, Nelson said.
Nelson said he did not know how long any pipeline would be. He said it would be underground.
If no other successful wells are drilled on city-owned property, he doubts Savoy will build the proposed facility, Nelson said.
The resolution says the facility might involve up to five acres of land. Nelson said he doesn't think it would take that much.
At present, there is only a draft agreement, and further negotiation will take place, Nelson said. If the commission authorizes him to enter an agreement for the facility and pipeline, he will not have to come back to the commission to get the final agreement approved, Nelson said.
The city would get some extra money from Savoy for allowing the facility and pipeline, Nelson said. He did not know how much that would be.
Savoy agreed to pay the city about $328,000 "bonus" money for signing two oil exploration leases, and the city will receive royalties on oil pumped from any of the land under lease.
Nelson said he believes having a central production and processing facility would help limit potential disturbances from oil drilling activity.
"I think it's better to have it in one location," he said.
The city commission meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, at the city chambers building, 159 E. Maumee St.
The commission will meet for a study session at 5:30 p.m., also at the city chambers building.
Oil facility agreement proposed
ADRIAN — The Adrian City Commission will consider a proposal Tuesday to allow the city to enter an agreement with Savoy Energy Limited Partnership to build an oil central production and processing facility in Heritage Park.

Beautiful Celebrity BC is so into this hot male model HM, to the extent that she tries to follow and stalk him as much as she can. BC's action is something HM abhors so much knowing that people speculate a lot on her presence whenever he is around. He can be right though because people really see them as such -- friends with benefits, that is.
At HM's recent gig with a another family member held at a posh venue at the Fort, BC arrived to give him support, with It Girls in tow. But HM wasn't impressed, he was in fact annoyed by it all. He told BC off that he wants nothing more than friendship between them. He turned her down, saying that she must stop getting too close. BC was furious saying she didn't deserve such treatment from him. Thus she made a rundown of all the help and everything that she did for him from the very beginning. People in the know ask what would she do that for? Same people reckon that she surely had vested interests right from the start.
HM's change of heart for BC is quite understandable. He knows that everything with her should only be temporary, and that BC must not claim that it will lead to anything serious. At his point, HM is right to assume that he has more to lose. Apart from a career that he and his close relative desperately desire, HM is into a serious relationship. And this one he can not afford to lose, definitely.
Will there come a time when BC finally come to her senses and stop chasing boys? Shouldn't she concentrate more on her career for the sake of her little loved ones who depend on her? Well, as they say -- a guava tree will not bear mangoes.

Every cold or case of the flu I have had seems to be at its worst on a Wednesday. I don't know whether Wednesdays are naturally woeful, or whether this is related somehow to the fact that I almost always got assigned to the P.E. classes which met on Wednesday. In any case, the world has always seemed a bit pointless to me on Wednesdays. I once suggested a line of products to compete with the TGIF line (Thank God It's Friday). Mine was going to be GWIW (Gee Whiz, It's Wednesday.) Another one of my million dollar ideas that just didn't catch on.
But Wednesday has always seemed a miserable day, to me. Which is why we're going to discuss boxes again.
No, sardine souffle, no one has brought me a truckload of banana boxes lately. In fact, the banana box quotient has been down lately. Our efforts have had results: those flame throwers concealed in the bushes were worth the money. I am concerned on this Wistful Wednesday with needless thrift.
Thrift can be a virtue, of course, but like all virtues it becomes a vice if overdone. I am grateful, of course, for your generosity in dropping off your treasured books. But I do wish you'd let me keep the treasured boxes they're in.
"Can I have my boxes back? That way I can refill them!" You always say that like it's a GOOD thing. You need to understand, tofu chili, that what you are really saying is "Would you please unpack these books and either repack them in your own boxes or just pile them up somewhere on the floor so that you can trip over them until you have someplace better to put them?" The day has only so many hours, and all this repacking of your collection of Rebecca Wells first editions takes time a Book Fair Manager can ill afford. Yes, I know this is Uncle Blogsy we're speaking of, but when they were passing out superpowers, I passed up super speed in favor of X-Ray vision.
Once in a while, it just so happens I have boxes similar to the ones a donor is using and I can whine, "Could we just swap these for those?" This usually works, but I did once get a reply of, "Certainly not. OURS are new!" (Actually, they're not, pork chop pot pie: you put books in them, remember?)
Now, about those of you who are thrifty with tape, I have just one little thing to say. But I know they won't let me say that, so I will instead suggest that you GO BUY SOME TAPE. Folding a box bottom together may work when you are moving towels or job lots of paisley boxer shorts (I told you I had X-Ray vision) but doing it with books can be dangerous, especially as the boxes get larger. When I pick up such a box, there's every chance that the bottom will fall open, the books will fall on my toes, and my upper body will snap back from the sudden lack of weight and I will hit my head on this souvenir steel ingot somebody gave me.
And it MIGHT happen when you're not there to take pictures for YouTube. Did you think of that?
Actually, I do more damage to myself when I pick up a box, realize the bottom is sagging, and try to get one arm underneath while balancing the rest of your set of the Harvard Classics in the crook of the other arm. The Power that designed the elbows, knees, and lower back did not have Harvard Classics and untaped boxes in mind, marshmallow manicotti. THAT sort of idea comes from a region where it is always Wednesday, and the marshmallow manicotti is left over from yesterday.

Maxis creative director Ocean Quigley tweets about how many regions players will be able to own in the upcoming SimCity reboot: "You can have up to 10 regions (in total, regardless of whether they're private or shared with other players)" (thanks Joao). Also, Destructoid has details on how the game will have about 18 different visual filters, saying the developers are taking particular mercy on those (like myself) with color vision deficiencies: "Depending upon your form of colorblindness, you have different transforms. If you are red-green colorblind, you don't have much sensitivity in the red-green range. So what I've had to do for that is to pull some of the stuff that would normally be merged together into the blue channel and to pop the contrast on red and green as much as possible so that people that have some limited sensitivity to red green can still see what's going on," Ocean Quigley explains. "These transforms are collectively called daltonism. So we've done basically those transforms for the three most common forms of colorblindness." On a related note, there are hands-on previews of the game based on a few hours with the beta on Computer and Video Games, IGN, Kotaku, PC Gamer, and Shacknews.

To the Editor:
Last week, many Valley Stream residents attended a public meeting that I, together with the members of the village board, hosted at Village Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to share information about the proposed new changes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood maps that affect so many of us, and to give property owners the opportunity to learn what their current status is with regard to the new zones. Basically, people want to know if they are in or out, and what their options are in either case.
The meeting came about because FEMA advised us that the new maps are close to being finalized. The trustees and I felt that it was important to get information out to the public as quickly as possible, even as we ourselves were learning it. After all, we are in this together.
Now, people will have ample time to prepare for whatever steps they need to take going forward. There are important insurance decisions that need to be made in some cases, possible options for premium reimbursements for many, and a complex and lengthy appeal process for others.
As your village government, we are doing all within our power to assist our residents in this complicated process. We continue to remain vigilant to the many problems that face Valley Stream homeowners within the flood zone areas all around our village. We will do our absolute best to address your concerns and guide you through this process. We are in constant communication with FEMA officials, as well as our federal representatives, under whose jurisdiction FEMA falls.
For those who were unable to make the meeting, or need further clarification, I urge residents to call (877) FEMA-MAP for specific information regarding your property. You can also ask to speak with someone about any possible insurance reimbursements you may be entitled to, depending upon your circumstance. It is important to remember that each case is unique, and this is going to take a while before everything is settled and all questions are adequately answered, but we will work with you to ensure that Valley Stream residents get fair and honest treatment.

Since we're at the midway point of the 2012 season, I thought it'd be interesting to compare Irvin's stats to the other D-Lineman taken in the first round that the Hawks were rumored to be interested in.
In order drafted
Fletcher Cox - Philly = 11 tackles, 1 sack
Michael Brockers - St. Louis = 6 tackles, 1 sack
Bruce Irvin - Seattle = 7 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble
Quintin Coples - Jets = 15 tackles, 2 sacks
Shea McClellin - San Diego = 5 tackles, 2 sacks
Chandler Jones - New England = 33 tackles, 6 sacks, 3 forced fumbles
Whitney Mercilus - 9 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble
So what grade do you guys give Bruce halfway through his first season? While I like his POTENTIAL to be a bigtime pass rusher, I look at the stats of a full time D-End like Jones who's lighting up his rookie year........taken AFTER Irvin, and see that Irvin has a long long way to go to earn his high draft pick.
Let's be honest, Irvin has had flashes of brilliance (Green Bay game).......but for the most part has been invisible for long stretches of the season so far.

A Townsend man has been charged with his fifth Driving Under the Influence offense after fleeing from a crash involving a tractor-trailer Dec. 22.
A Townsend man has been charged with his fifth Driving Under the Influence offense after fleeing from a crash involving a tractor-trailer Dec. 22.
Middletown Police arrested Matthew Ford, 28, after he ran from the scene of a crash on U.S. Route 301 at Del. Route 71 around 3:30 a.m.
At 3:35 a.m., police were called to the area of Frogtown Crossing for a personal injury crash involving a tractor-trailer carrying sweet potatoes and a pick up truck.
The tractor-trailer was driving northbound on U.S. Route 301 when Ford, who was driving a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck, failed to stop for the red signal and pulled into the path of the tractor-trailer, police said.
The truck struck the side of Ford's pickup just behind the driver's side door, officers said.
The force of the collision dislodged the left rear wheel assembly of Ford's truck and separated the axel from the pick up truck, police said.
After the collision, police said that Ford and his passenger fled the scene on foot before police arrived.
A search was conducted with the Delaware State Police K-9 Unit and a helicopter in an attempt to located Ford, as there were indications at the scene that he may have sustained significant injuries.
Police later learned that Ford his passenger were picked up by Ford's wife and driven away from the crash area.
He was later located at his residence in the 100 block of Blackbird Station Road where he was taken into custody and charged with his fifth DUI offense.
Ford suffered a laceration to the left of his forehead.
He was also charged with a hit and run, failing to provide information, failing to stop for a red light, and driving on the wrong side of the divider.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, John T. Holloway, 73, of Henderson, N.C., was not injured.

Amtrak selects names for two new trains, upgrades Wi-Fi serviceWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
More than 1,200 people participated in a month-long survey to name two new Amtrak Cascades trains, which have been named Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Bachelor.
Oregonians were invited to indicate their most-to-least favorite of the names that included the above plus Mt. McLoughlin, Mt. Scott and Mt. Thielsen. All of the names received some votes for most favorite, but in the end, Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Bachelor topped the lists by several hundred votes.
The first trainset, now known as Mt. Jefferson, is in Seattle undergoing employee familiarization and corridor testing. The second trainset, Mt. Bachelor, is scheduled to leave Milwaukee, Wis., bound for Seattle, Wash., next week. The two new trains will join five others on the Amtrak Cascades corridor, providing service from Eugene to Vancouver, B.C.
Two of the trains currently in service are owned by Amtrak (Mt. Hood and Mt. Olympus) and three are owned by Washington State (Mt. Adams, Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier). Oregon State purchased its trains using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The cost of the trainsets is $38.4 million.
Each of the new Talgo trains offer seating for 275 passengers, a bistro car, a dining car, bicycle storage, business class seating and other amenities. Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Bachelor will be rotated into revenue service later this summer.
In other news, Amtrak has upgraded its AmtrakConnect cellular-based Wi-Fi service to take advantage of 4G technologies that are improving performance.
The 4G upgrade is already complete on Acela Express and the California-supported Capitol Corridor, Pacific Surfliner and San Joaquin services and will be rolled out to all remaining Wi-Fi equipped Amtrak trains by late summer, including the Northeast Regional.

68 Automag
Classic Valve (3 stars on reg)
Level 10
Smart Parts wood grips
Doc Nickel's Automag Barrel Adapter (www.docsmachine.com)
Deadlywind Wisper Barrel (Cocker-threaded)
Special Ops Paintball T2W Stock (Left-handed configuration)
I got this recently as just the base gun. It had the wood grips, and that was it. Everything else I added on to it. I traded an older upgraded Tippmann 98 Custom for it, and I am very happy with how it turned out. I'm not going X-Valve with it because I like the versatility of being able to run CO2. If I really need an X-Valve, I can pull the one out of my Tac One.
The purpose of this gun was to create a lightweight and versatile scenario alternative to the bulky Special Ops Q-Bow. The Q-Bow is a good design, but certain flaws become apparent when you are toting it around in a 24-hour scenario. First, the weight. The shroud adds way too much weight and creates other problems. Second, the paint capacity. As a major scenario generally involves many small skirmishes, the 100 rounds in a Q-Pod may see you run out at an inopportune time, or changing pods early just to avoid running out. As a result, it is not suitable for prolonged games with an unusually high paint demand (*cough* .677 paint that shoots like crap *cough*). The 68 Automag I constructed solves these problems, maintaining most of the benefits without the drawbacks. The Wisper also fixes the consistency problem with odd paint sizes on the Tac One, serving a dual role.

Ideally, city officials had hoped to locate a local party to take over ownership of the Riverview Apartments, but in Daczewitz Properties LLC of Salem, Oregon they may have found the next best thing.
"It's a family run business," said Valley Promotions Chairman Jerry Ostensoe. "They're interested in building towards the future because they want to pass things on. They're not interested in a quick buck which is good deal."
Ideally, city officials had hoped to locate a local party to take over ownership of the Riverview Apartments, but in Daczewitz Properties LLC of Salem, Oregon they may have found the next best thing.
"It's a family run business," said Valley Promotions Chairman Jerry Ostensoe. "They're interested in building towards the future because they want to pass things on. They're not interested in a quick buck which is good deal."
After three auctions and a few years of uncertainty, the Riverview Apartments saga finally came to a close when the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved a sale of the 40 unit, section-8 low income house facility to Daczewitz Properties in mid-December, according to Ostensoe.
It was back in late 2009 that HUD foreclosed on Riverview after the apartment complex, formerly owned by local non-profit Valley Promotions, fell into arrears.
From 2010 to 2012, HUD brought the property to auction on three separate occasions but up until this last auction was unable come to terms with a viable candidate. Twice, a company owned by Emmanuel Ku, who has been called one of the worst slumlords in New York, was the high bidder for the property. Twice, city officials fought the sale and HUD ultimately denied the transaction.
It was this past July, during Riverview's third auction, that Ku made his second run at the apartment complex and plopped down $400,000 to become the high bidder. Once denied, HUD moved onto the second highest bidder, Daczewitz Properties, who offered $320,000 for the approximately 41 year-old structure.
Ostensoe said that thus far the company has been easy been to work with and he is convinced that Daczewitz will prove to be an asset to the community. "They're thrilled with the building, thrilled with the community and are very enthusiastic about the future," he said. "I think it will be a good thing all the way around.
"I know some people are a little unhappy it didn't remain in local ownership," Ostensoe continued. "But I think this is a very good alternative to that. Quite frankly, you have to be some kind of pro to keep up with this HUD stuff and managing properties like this is what they do for a living."
According to company information, no less than six of the business's stakeholders and employees carry the Daczewitz name.
John Daczewitz is listed as company CPA and CEO. A short biography states that he has spent the past 30 years working on affordable housing both as Owner/Operator and Independent Auditor.
The remainder of the bio says that it was this wealth of knowledge and experience that served to create the foundation on which the family partnership and that the management team has but one goal: "To provide the highest quality affordable housing to families and individuals in need."
According to Ostensoe, representatives of the company will fly into town later this week for a two week period to view the property and community first hand. He said that in the near future Daczewitz intends to hire a local entity to manage the apartments. Presently, Vans Binsbergen and Associates out of Montevideo is serving in this capacity.
As a part of the sales agreement Daczewitz will be responsible for a number upgrades to the facility––and while the exact nature of the improvements has yet to be revealed, Ostensoe said that the company intends to seek out local contractors to perform the work.
"We're real optimistic," he said. "We just hope to make the transition as soon and as smooth as possible."

Experienced farmers will help new farmers.
A new project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is matching experienced farmers with those who need a farming mentor. Would-be farmers and new as well as experienced farmers are sought now for the program through the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program of the National Institute for Food and Agriculture of the USDA.
The deadline to have a match by March in preparation for the new growing season is Jan. 31.
The program offers a pressure-free approach and participants choose their mentor or mentee. Once a partnership is formed, "we ensure that the relationship will be fruitful by providing support and a framework in which to work together," according to a release.
When experienced farmers join the program, they can connect with other farmers with a similar passion for guiding the next generation of organic farmers. The program will provide up-to-date information on best-practices and on upcoming events and resources.
The mentor roster includes New York farmers with experience in a range of production enterprises from livestock to fruit, grains to vegetables, wild products to dairy. Beginning farmers who sign up now will have time to build a solid relationship with a new mentor before springtime farm work begins.
To participate or for more information, call Rachel at (585) 271-1979, Ext. 511.

After coaching a club team for three years, San Antonio, Texas, native and two-time college All-American player Kelsey Johnson is now north of the Red River for her first-ever public school head coaching assignment.
Johnson arrived in June to take the reigns of Shawnee High School's volleyball program following the recent resignation of Julia Holland. Holland served as the SHS head coach for four years, taking the Lady Wolves to back-to-back Class 5A state tournament appearances in her last two seasons.
Holland is still with Shawnee Public Schools, teaching math at the middle school.
"She just decided to resign from coaching. She decided to go in a different direction," said Shawnee Athletic Director Mark Bowlan. "We appreciate what she did. She certainly took this program to the next level. We certainly appreciate her hard work — and her assistants — to get us to that point."
In just over a month, Johnson has already made heavy preparations for the upcoming season. The team held open-gym play throughout June, and then held tryouts July 18 and 19.
Two-a-day practice followed just a week later, and the Lady Wolves took part in a University of Oklahoma team camp July 27 and 28.
"I really like it," Johnson said of her time thus far with the Lady Wolves.
She praised the school system and facilities, and said Bowlan and her players' parents "are very welcoming."
"I'm really excited about the season," Johnson said. "We have great experience on the floor, and I see a bright future."
Johnson's roster includes seven seniors.
"We're excited about Kelsey. She's going to do some great things," Bowlan said. "She's got a lot of mileage and experience as a player, which will be good for the girls."
Darla Kasterke, who served as an assistant coach with Holland, will continue to work with the volleyball program. Taylor Israel joins as an assistant and the freshmen coach, and she will also assist with Shawnee's basketball program.
The Lady Wolves open their 2013 season at home on Aug. 13 with a 6 p.m. varsity match against Lincoln Christian. The freshmen will play at 4 p.m., and the junior varsity will play at 5 p.m.
Johnson and the Lady Wolves will hold a clinic Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Shawnee High School Performing Arts and Athletic Center for players in the eighth grade and below. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the clinic, and those in fourth through sixth grades will participate from 9 a.m. to noon. Those in seventh and eighth grades will participate from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The cost of the clinic is $35 per participant, and that includes a T-shirt.
For more information on the clinic, those interested can call Johnson at 405-596-9621.
The Lady Wolves will sell posters with team photos on them from noon until 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6. Those interested in ordering a poster, at a cost of $25, can call Johnson.
Johnson is a 2007 graduate of East Central High School in San Antonio, and is a 2011 graduate of Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.
Prior to moving to Shawnee, Johnson coached the La Vernia Heat club team in La Vernia, Texas.
Johnson's fiancé, Jon Hurt, is a graduate of Mason High School. He was recently named head coach of the boys' basketball program at Vanoss High School.

- Butch Jones undecided on CU Buffs' offer
University of Colorado Chancellor Phil DiStefano vowed to press on and find the right man to lead the football program after Cincinnati coach Butch Jones turned down the Buffs' five-year, $2.7 million offer today.
DiStefano has participated in the last two searches for a head coach when the school hired Dan Hawkins in 2005 and Jon Embree in 2010. He and athletic director Mike Bohn are searching for a coach to turn around a program that was routed in more than half its games this season and hasn't produced a winning season since 2005 under former coach Gary Barnett.
"Amid the very competitive environment for college coaches right now, it is vital for CU to get the right fit: a coach who can take our program to new levels of success, who embodies and endorses our values, and who is committed to taking us to the highest levels of competition in the Pac-12 Conference," DiStefano said in a statement released by the school. "We are not deterred in our process of finding this special coach and our search continues."
Bohn has not commented publicly since his top target turned down the offer this morning after talking with CU for nearly a week.
It is unclear who CU officials will turn to next, but they are believed to be interested in talking to Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter, who only has one year of head coaching experience, and Mike MacIntyre, who has been the head coach at San Jose State the past three seasons.

The Sierra Club and Earthworks may join an oil and gas lawsuit involving the city of Longmont, but may not expand the issues under consideration, a Boulder County District Court judge said in one of a series of rulings Monday.
The suit, between Longmont and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, seeks to determine whether the city went too far in creating its new drilling regulations last July. Among other things, the rules forbid drilling in a residential area unless the city grants an exception.
Judge D.D. Mallard already had allowed the state's largest industry group, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, to join or "intervene" in the suit. But for both COGA and the two environmental groups, the rulings carried the same condition -- stick to the existing issues in the case and don't bring in new ones.
"The court will not permit intervention by any party to unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties," Mallard wrote in her ruling. Given that, she asked, "Do the citizen groups still wish to intervene if participation is limited to the issues as pled by the Commission and Longmont?"
The original request to intervene by the two environmental groups had stated that "the citizen groups also may raise defenses and arguments that the city may not raise."
In Monday's rulings, Mallard also denied two motions to dismiss some of Longmont's counterclaims. The city had asked the court to find that it had the right to regulate oil and gas operations in Longmont as part of its home rule and land-use authority, while COGA insisted that the ordinance be struck down as illegal on its face. Mallard noted that the heart of the case was whether the state or city had the right of regulation, and that it would be premature to resolve all the issues in favor of one side or the other before hearing evidence.
The law itself, she said, did not prohibit Longmont from having any regulatory authority at all. "The court cannot find, as a matter of law, that the ordinance materially impedes or destroys the state interest," she said.
Longmont had also asked the court to rule that its "special exception" procedures were valid, a counterclaim that the COGCC asked to have dismissed. Under the city's ordinance, if the local rules "materially impede or destroy" the state's interest in developing oil and gas resources, an operator can apply for a waiver.
The COGCC argued that under law, the city didn't have the power to decide if there was a conflict. Again, Mallard ruled that it was too early to decide that question.
"The Court is quite sure it will be asked to determine whether the city has the authority to adjudicate operational conflicts in the course of this litigation," Mallard wrote. "However, that time has not yet come."
Mallard did dismiss one counterclaim at the request of COGA and the COGCC. Longmont had asked the court to find that anyone engaging in oil or gas operations in the city was subject to the ordinance. The commission and COGA argued, and the judge agreed, that no one was arguing about compliance, but about whether the ordinance was valid in the first place.
The judge also said she would wait until later to decide whether to empanel a jury in the case.
None of the rulings affect a separate lawsuit between COGA and Longmont over the city's anti-fracking charter amendment, approved by voters last November.

A second Lafayette teen pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated robbery for his role in a home invasion in March 2012.
Alyx Richard Leach, 18, is the second in the case to take a plea deal after Alexander Gregory Fein, 18, pleaded to the same charge Wednesday.
As a condition of the plea, charges of second-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary, third-degree assault, menacing and theft charges were dropped. The aggravated robbery charge is a Class 3 felony, and Leach is due for sentencing March 15.
According to prosecutors, Leach and two other men -- Dimitri Scott Connell, 23, and Fein -- entered a home in the 2100 block of Meadow Sweet Lane on the afternoon of March 20 to steal drugs from a high school acquaintance. According to court documents, the victim told police the three men walked into the home through an unlocked door, displayed handguns and demanded prescription medication.
The victim told police Fein "tazed" him, causing him to fall down and "see stars," and he turned over his prescription drugs, the affidavit said.
All three were initially charged with aggravated robbery, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary, third-degree assault, menacing and theft. Connell pleaded not guilty and is set for trial in February.
Fein and Leach also were arrested in Erie on suspicion of attempted murder last year. According to investigators, three teens said Leach and Fein chased them in their car and fired several shots at them after they didn't go through with a marijuana deal March 22.
Leach pleaded guilty to a single count of attempted second-degree murder. He is scheduled for sentencing March 4 in that case. Fein is scheduled to stand trial in Weld County on March 25 on three counts of first-degree attempted murder.

Stuffed Indian Eggplant
There are many kinds of eggplants in Asia and the egg-shaped Indian variety is particularly wonderful. It peaks during hot months and as the season winds down, I make this terrific Indian recipe, which I learned from Ruta Kahate's 5 Spices, 50 Dishes. You'll find the Indian eggplants at South Asian markets as well as at some farmer's markets where they'll be sold by Asian farmers. In California where I live, Hmong farmers are my summer time go-to source for eggplants. They have a medium-thick skin and creamy flesh, and are much smaller than the regular globe variety. You can certainly grill them, but better yet, stuff them with a rich mixture of ground peanuts and sesame seeds and let them get kind of crusty. Serve warm or cold.
Politics of the Plate
One of my favorite events at our rural county's annual agricultural fair is when the youthful 4-H club members show their prized cattle. Well-scrubbed teenagers clad in white shoes, white pants, and white shirts proudly lead their well-groomed bovines into the arena where they are judged and ribbons awarded. You almost expect to see a pipe-puffing Normal Rockwell peering from behind his easel on the sidelines.
I don't think I would have gotten the same warm, nostalgic feeling at Iowa State Fair a few weeks ago. Tyler Faber, age 17, took home the blue ribbon in the "Big Steer" category for a 1,320-pound behemoth named Doc. The beefy steer, it turned out, was a clone.
Theo Hates, no, wait, Theo Loves Tofu
By Sally Sampson
Theo hates tofu.
This shouldn't surprise me, since Theo is nine. And like a lot of kids who didn't grow up in Asian, vegan, vegetarian or hippy households, Theo, who is an otherwise adventurous, sophisticated eater, considers tofu a foreign, even a suspicious, food.
Normally, I wouldn't give this much thought. But that day, the "tofu problem" was a stumbling block, since I'd recruited Theo and eight other children to shoot the cooking sequences for issue two of ChopChop, a non-profit kids' cooking magazine I've just launched with a few friends with the mission of encouraging nutritional literacy. The shoot was well underway: my friend Sue's house had been taken over by ChopChop staff, racks of colorful clothing, boxes of sneakers, piles of socks, crates and crates of tableware, cookware and props and shopping bags (recycled, of course) brimming with fresh ingredients.
Sunday Supper: Pan-Roasted Corn with Cherry Tomatoes
Make this while the corn and tomatoes are still at their peak (and they're both pretty close). Serve with simply grilled or broiled meat, poultry, or fish, or just with some dressed greens and crusty bread. Adapted from How to Cook Everything.
Pan-Roasted Corn with Cherry Tomatoes
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 20 minutes
At some point in the summer, you may get sick of plain corn on the cob or even grilled corn; here's the recipe to turn to then. Its fast, it's easy, and it's completely different; when browned like this, corn takes on a brand-new flavor. Other vegetables you can use in this recipe: shell peas.
6 ears fresh corn, shucked
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced shallot or white or red onion
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh tarragon leaves for garnish
1. Use a knife to strip the kernels from the corn. It's easiest if you stand the corn up in a shallow bowl and just cut down the length of each ear as many times as is necessary; you'll quickly get the hang of it.
2. Put the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the corn, tomatoes, and shallot; let sit for a moment. As the corn browns, shake the pan to distribute it so each kernel is deeply browned on at least one surface.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir in the tarragon; serve hot or at room temperature.
Prosciutto and Melon, Like a Virgin
By Kerri Conan
Umpteen years ago my girlfriends and I ran with a bunch of guys in San Francisco we called "The O's." Nando. Carlo. Enzo. Veniero. Claudio. Paulo. Antonio. You get the drift.
The O's weren't Italian-Americans; they were fellows who visited from Italy and stayed for a while. We met them while waiting tables, and we shared the common language of food and fun. On our days off we rode up to Napa on their motorcycles to taste wine or eat oysters at Tomales Bay. We'd pack a picnic and rent boats at San Pablo reservoir to swim and sunbathe. On foggy days we gathered at one of their flats and they would cook for us. The O's turned me on to proscuitto and melon.
A Cure for the Uncommon Salmon
by Cathy Erway
What a luxurious working-day lunch. It's casual and uncomplicated to make — an open-faced sandwich — but on top of this bread lies slices of home-cured wild-caught red Alaska salmon surrounded by jewels from the garden. Funny to think that cured salmon (not smoked, but similar in texture and taste, sans smokiness) was once a common luncheon meat for the working man before it became a delicacy. It's produced through a quick and easy process of rubbing salt, sugar and other seasonings into the fish, and letting it draw out moisture over a couple days. So, fishermen of Scandinavia, or Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, would use this method to make their fresh catches keep longer over time. Overfishing led to the rarity of this fish and now most salmon is farmed (and, to the connoisseur, tastes nothing like its wild brethren). Now, wild-caught salmon from the only sustainable fishery left in the world, Alaska, commands more than tenderloin on the market. So how did I get my hands on this stuff, and why am I sharing it with everyone for lunch? I caught wind of a wild-caught Alaskan salmon CSA, and signed up as soon as I could.
Blue Potatoes and Organic Certification
By Clotilde Hryshko
The following is the CSA newsletter I gave out during pickups the week of 8/30/10.
Last year I finally found a blue flesh/blue skin potato that tasted great and was versatile in the kitchen. I celebrated Labor Day with the CSA by giving them to you that week. I continue the tradition again this year. These Purple Majesty potatoes are excellent for potato salad, mashed, roasted, fried or any other use on a (expected) cool Labor Day weekend. It's also my not so subtle way of reminding you to honor the physical labor of others.
Summer Veggie Burger Made to Order
I got a tweet a few hours ago asking for "the ultimate veggie burger" recipe. When the corn is still good (and it is), this recipe, adapted from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, is pretty ultimate.
Midsummer Vegetable Burger
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Time: 45 minutes
This light, colorful burger, which gets its crunch from corn, is terrific on a bun, especially with a little Salsa, Chile Mayonnaise, or Roasted Pepper Mayonnaise, or with sliced ripe tomatoes and drizzled with basil pesto.
Politics of the Plate
by Barry Estabrook
There's Gotta be a Catch(share)
Wherever they have been implemented, so called "catch-share" management programs—which essentially give each fisherman an ownership stake of his quota of the legal catch instead of setting a fleet-wide annual limit—have proven good for fishermen, the fish they catch, and those of us who consume seafood. Catch-share systems have been shown to reduce the decline in fish populations in all areas of the world. So it was good news late last month when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) approved a catch-share plan for bottom-dwelling species caught off the Pacific coast.
The old laws promoted what the industry calls "derby" fishing, where captains would race out to try to catch as much as possible as quickly as possible, regardless of weather or market conditions. The method was also wasteful, encouraging sloppy practices that led to large rates of bycatch (unintended and unmarketable species) and harvests that exceeded the legal limit. In a catch-share system, each fisherman is assured a certain amount of the catch. He can fish when and where he chooses. For consumers, it means a steady supply of local fresh fish, rather than a glut of seafood that has to be frozen or trucked to distant markets.
