The Ohio Department of Transportation has a new transportation plan for the coming decade called Access Ohio 2040. In guest columns today, leaders of Stark County's business community and the local transportation industry share their concerns about these proposed changes.
Editor's note: The Ohio Department of Transportation has a new transportation plan for the coming decade called Access Ohio 2040. Repository readers can comment on the draft plan until Jan. 15.
The plan's map does not give any importance to Route 30 east of Canton, and it downgrades Interstate 77 south of Canton to a highway of state importance, not national importance.

By DENNIS P. SAUNIER and STEPHEN L. PAQUETTE
Ohio has created a map of important highways in the coming years. It does not even show Route 30 east of Canton. This concerns us. Route 30 improvement east of Canton is an opportunity unrealized.
We think that opportunity can be described in one word: Pittsburgh.
Furthermore, when you consider that you can travel a four-lane Route 30 from Canton to Chicago, an improved Route 30 to the eastern Ohio border is a job unfinished. And we imagine it will remain unfinished if it is not even recognized as a road on the map of Ohio's highway future.
The map we speak of is part of the Ohio Department of Transportation's new long-range plan, called "Access Ohio 2040." As we said, Route 30 east of Canton does not even appear on the map.
Conclusion? No importance.
We also see that, though most Interstate highways in Ohio leading to and from the state's major cities are ranked as "national highway corridors," Interstate 77 south of Canton is designated merely as a "statewide highway corridor."
That may be news to area manufacturers that ship to Southern U.S. states.
Let's get back to Pittsburgh. We're not referring to the Steelers, or even the Pirates or Penguins. We are referring to a metropolitan market that outpaced Toledo, Youngstown, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati in recovery from the 2008 recession.
Pittsburgh posted a 6.8 percent increase in gross domestic product in the years 2009-2011, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, in an April 2013 report.
Easier access to the Pittsburgh market means easier shipping of Stark County goods, produced by Stark County labor. It could mean greater opportunities for economic growth.
And then there is oil and gas.
Range Resources drilled the first horizontal well in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania back in 2004. Vigorous development of the Marcellus has about a four-year head start on the development of the Utica, which we are experiencing in Ohio. Needless to say, oil and gas exploration companies and their supporting service companies have deep roots in Pennsylvania.
Talent and equipment flow back and forth between Ohio and the greater Pittsburgh area. And Route 30 east cuts across the northern Utica formation. Oil and gas development in Ohio and Pennsylvania will continue for many decades. An improved Route 30 would bring ease — and greater safety — to that development.
Unfortunately, Ohio often doesn't have the money to improve highways as an investment in future potential. It tends to focus on problems that need to be fixed. But if Ohio wanted to exercise vision, here's a thought: How about Ohio and Pennsylvania working together to improve Route 30 between Canton and Pittsburgh?
It takes about two hours to drive to Pittsburgh on any of three routes: Route 30, Route 62 to Interstate 76, and I-77 to I-76. The time is the same, but the mileage is quite different:
• Route 30 — about 93 miles
• Route 62 — about 102 miles
• I-77 — about 130 miles
Miles mean money for trucking companies. Everywhere you look, trucking is linked to jobs and economic opportunity. If you could travel Canton to Pittsburgh on a four-lane highway at 60 mph, instead of approximately 46 mph, the trip would take only about an hour and a half. Time is money, too.
Ohio transportation planners are smart when they pay attention to intermodal facilities, which link highways and rail systems or highways and rail and shipping systems. These cargo exchange hubs give job-creating businesses the options they need to ship goods.
But the Wellsville port on the Ohio River, near East Liverpool, is merely listed as a port, not an intermodal, on the Access Ohio 2040 map. The intermodal facility on Route 62 in Navarre does not appear on the map at all, even though it is growing in importance as a freight transfer point for oil and gas exploration.
We are worried about what we see and don't see in the Access Ohio 2040 map and think that our fellow Repository readers should be worried, too. Transportation means jobs. We invite fellow readers to comment on Ohio Access 2040.

What's the local transportation industry's stake in a new Route 30?
The transportation industry and all local businesses have a tremendous stake in the new Route 30. By turning Route 30 East into a four-lane highway, we can secure the economic future of this great community by enhancing current commerce, attracting new businesses and jobs, supporting a growing energy market here in our own backyard, and ensuring safe travel on our roads today and in the future.
This project is extremely important to our economic well-being, and all local businesses and area residents should be focused on it.
Canton and Northeast Ohio have a long history of manufacturing success. We want to keep it that way. To do so, we have to improve the infrastructure that secured our manufacturing reputation over the years.
This infrastructure includes close proximity to highly populated cities, abundance of natural resources and the ability to transport raw materials in — and manufactured products out — to the marketplace. Our ability to use truck, rail, air and water is unique to most other parts of our country. Regardless, most last-mile transportation is completed by truck.
Canton is the only major manufacturing city in Ohio without a major highway connecting all four directions: north, south, east and west. Cleveland is the exception but has Lake Erie ports to support commerce and raw materials to and from the north.
By turning Route 30 east into a four-lane highway, we can open up the eastern corridor, giving us better access to a growing and successful marketplace in western Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh.
Distance is money in any transportation model. It's all about efficiencies. Every mile can cost an average of $3.50. Many local companies today have a difficult time transporting their products to the Pittsburgh region because it requires their trucks to travel an additional 25 miles north or 25 miles south just to access a major highway.
With respect to the growing oil and gas business, Route 30 east becomes imperative to the success of these plays. Coincidentally, the Utica Shale capital is right here in Canton, and the Marcellus Shale is in Western Pennsylvania, corresponding directly with Route 30 east. Opening a four-lane highway between these two plays would enhance efficient transporting of materials back and forth, which takes place every day. Drilling materials are shipped in while raw materials and chemical byproducts are transported out from producing wells.
There is so much riding on the development of these shale formations, not only for our local economy but also for the future of our nation. The oil and gas produced are resulting in more energy independence for the United States and less dependency on foreign resources.
But these natural resources also translate into huge downstream manufacturing opportunities for our local community. Manufacturing relies on energy. The more affordable the energy, the more globally competitive our manufacturers will be.
Numerous byproducts come from natural gas, such as methane, propane, butane, propylene and ethylene. These chemicals make up the products we use every day, from food and beverages to electronics, shampoos and pharmaceuticals. They are also heavily used in the plastics industry.
Fifty percent of all U.S. plastics are manufactured within 500 miles of Northeast, Ohio. Natural gas and its byproducts from the shale plays could lower manufacturing costs by approximately one-third. This would allow the United States to out-produce foreign plastics competitors in Europe, Japan and even China.
Can you imagine how the chemical and plastics industry would continue to grow in this area? The job opportunities and economic development would grow exponentially.
This is just one example of many, but we have to have the transportation infrastructure in place to make it all work.
And finally, our No. 1 priority in the transportation, warehousing and logistics industries is the safety and well-being of our employees, customers, the public and the environment. The quicker we can get trucks off the back roads and onto major highways, the less local congestion we generate on Main Street with the combination of trucks, school buses and cars.
With freight volumes expected to double in the next 10 to 15 years, how will we handle this increased volume safely? We need to act now.

A second police car suffered a motor malfunction and the Chenoa City Council voted to get another vehicle for the force at its meeting Monday.
Zach Corrie informed the council of the cost of a new Ford Explorer and provided insight into financing. Corrie, a grandson of Mayor Don Corrie, told the council that a new Ford Explorer would cost approximately $27,000 and that financing could be obtained through the State Bank of Graymont with a 1.5 percent interest rate on a three-year loan.
The younger Corrie explained that added costs to the vehicle would include $4,000 for policing equipment and added costs for installation of the equipment.
A 2001 Crown Victoria was the second Chenoa Police vehicle to suffer a blown motor in the past few weeks. The Crown Victoria was originally the property of the Gridley Police Department. It became property of Chenoa after the two communities entered into an agreement that had the CPD provide policing activity in Gridley.
The Chenoa City Council voted to purchase the Ford Explorer outright instead of leasing it over a three-year period and purchasing it for $1 at the end of the lease period.
The city agreed to purchase a Ford Expedition at its Jan. 27 meeting to replace another Explorer.
In an unrelated financial matter, Commissioner Don Schultheis discussed collecting overdue water bills and what steps need to be taken to now allow for bills to become overdue for an extended period.
Schultheis said that the city was operating under an old system and pointed out that the city's website had a stricter policy in place. He said that following what is on the website is the appropriate thing to do.
Basically, according to Schultheis, this means that water could be shut off after 30 days. A notice will be sent 10 days after the due date and a disconnect notice will be mailed five days before the water will be shut off.
Schultheis said he would like to implement this program in April.
In another financial matter, Schultheis explained a new program through the state comptroller's office that allows the state to recover money owed to the city. The state would charge the debtor a fee for recovery and the city would get the money owed.
The council agreed to this intergovernmental agreement 5-0.
Dave Schultz entered an agreement with the city involving a vehicle in his yard. He told the council that he cannot move the vehicle at this time because a finance company holds the title. He said he is making payments and it will be paid off by the end of June.
Schultz said he has someone already interested in taking the vehicle but they will take it without the title. Once it is paid off, the matter will be taken care of, he said. He has until July 1 to get rid of the vehicle, according to his agreement with the city.
The city officially designated its work hours for fulltime employees. It had been discussed at earlier meetings that the hours were not really mandated in the employee handbook and that something needed to be in place.
It was decided that work hours for fulltime city employees, except those in the police department, are to be set at 7 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
They can change upon approval from the commissioner in charge of the department. An example provided involved snow removal.
New police car approved

CNN___On guns, President Obama needs a "Plan B."
The president himself recognizes that the votes probably aren't there to pass any significant gun legislation through Congress. In his State of the Union address, he was reduced to pleading with Congress to allow a vote at all, never mind actually enact anything.
Even if Congress were seized by a sudden change of heart, the measures the president has proposed seem unlikely to achieve much.
Universal background checks would be a baby step forward. But until state governments join background checks to some effective system of gun licensing, the checks are very easily evaded. A felon or domestic batterer or disturbed person need only find a person with a clean background to buy a weapon for him.
But here are two things that can make a real difference -- without a vote in Congress.
First: The president can direct the surgeon general to compile a scientific study of the health effect of individual gun ownership.
The basis of the whole gun debate in the United States is the belief by millions of Americans that they need a firearm in the home to protect themselves from criminals. Testifying to Congress last month, a gun advocate named Gayle Trotter presented a vivid image of how guns might be used.
"An assault weapon in the hands of a young woman defending her babies in her home becomes a defense weapon, and the peace of mind that a woman has as she's facing three, four, five violent attackers, intruders in her home, with her children screaming in the background, the peace of mind that she has knowing that she has a scary-looking gun gives her more courage when she's fighting hardened, violent criminals."
Thrilling. Also wholly imaginary. Such Rambo-like defenses of home and hearth do not happen in real life, unless the home also happens to contain a meth lab. (The oft-cited statistic that gun owners draw in self-defense 2.5 million times a year is a classic of bad social science.)
Incidents like these, however, do happen -- and tragically often:
"A fourteen year-old girl jumped out of the closet and shouted 'Boo' when her parents came home in the middle of the night. Taking her for an intruder, her father shot and killed her. Her last words were 'I love you, Daddy.' "
That true story, reported in the Boston Globe in 1994, appears on page 70 of the classic study "Private Guns, Public Health" by David Hemenway, director of Harvard's Injury Control Research Center. It's just one of thousands of similar incidents in the United States every year.
Hemenway again: "Between 1990 and 2000, an annual average of 320 children zero to fourteen either committed suicide with guns or were accidentally killed by guns." American children are much more likely to suffer these tragedies than children in other countries. States with more guns suffer more than states in which guns are less common.
Claims that homeowners often use guns for legitimate self-defense dwindle away on close examination.
What the gun owner claims as self-defense often looks, on closer examination, more like trigger-happy recklessness.
Here's another case, as reported by Hemenway.
"Two women, aged thirty-four and forty, were driving home from work when one cut the other off on a congested highway. Their rage escalated as traffic crawled for miles and the women flashed their headlights and hit their brakes. Both vehicles left the interstate, heading for home. At the first traffic light, one woman left her car and approached the other, perhaps to end the confrontation. The woman in the car shot the approaching woman in the face, killing her."
Self-defense? Maybe. But the shooter herself wasn't so sure. She was recorded weeping, "Oh, my God, I shot her. Oh, my God, I can't believe I shot her. Oh, my God, I can't believe she's dying."
As for guns in the home, Hemenway reports studies find that "(G)uns are used far more often in the home to intimidate and frighten intimates than to protect against intruders."
These are facts about guns that are well-known to the social scientists who study gun injury but poorly understood by the general public.
Fifty years ago, Americans contended with similar public ignorance -- and similar industry misinformation -- about the hazards of cigarette smoking. The argument was settled by the famous surgeon general's report of 1964.
Congress in the mid-1990s forbade the federal government to fund its own research into the health risks presented by guns. By now, however, enough research has been done by privately funded scholars that the surgeon general could write a report based on existing material. Such a report would surely reach the conclusion that a gun in the home greatly elevates risks of suicide, lethal accident and fatal domestic violence. The first step to changing gun policy is to change public attitudes about guns, as Americans previously changed their attitudes about tobacco and drunken driving.
The surgeon general can lead that attitude change with more authority than any other public official.
The second step that might be taken -- again without the need for any congressional vote -- is for the Senate to convene hearings into the practices of the gun industry analogous to those it convened into the tobacco industry in the 1990s.

So many gun accidents occur because guns almost never indicate whether a bullet is present in the chamber. A gun owner might remove the gun's magazine and believe the gun unloaded, when in fact it still contains one potentially deadly shot. Why not require guns to be equipped with indicator lights? Why not require that guns be designed so that they will not fire if dropped? We have safety standards for every consumer product, from children's cribs to lawnmowers, except for the most dangerous consumer product of them all. Not only that, Congress has actually immunized makers of that product against harms inflicted by unsafe design.
Gun makers often design their weapons in ways that present no benefit for lawful users but that greatly assist criminals. They don't coordinate the issuance of serial numbers so that each gun can be identified with certainty. They stamp serial numbers in places where they can be effaced.
They reject police requests to etch barrels to uniquely mark each cartridge fired by a particular gun.
They sell bullets that can pierce police armor.
They will not include trigger locks and other child-proofing devices as standard equipment.
They ignore new technology that would render guns inoperable by anyone except their approved purchaser.
Why? Why? And why?
U.S. gunmakers have never been required to answer these questions. But one Senate subcommittee chairman with subpoena powers could cast much needed light on an industry whose record makes the tobacco industry look a paragon of transparency and accountability in comparison.
There's a gun agenda that need not depend on politics and that will not snatch a single weapon from any owner, whether law-abiding or not. If Congress stalls on the president's ambitious legislative schemes, the president should fall back on this Plan B to publicize what guns really do to those who carry them -- and what gunmakers do to their customers.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of David Frum

Did you know that there are local children in urgent need of your help?
Each year more than half a million children suffer abuse or neglect, often resulting in the need for court intervention.
A Guardian ad Litem volunteer is the eyes and ears for a judge and the person who tells the child's story to the court.
These volunteers are needed in every N.C. county to help judges make decisions regarding the best interests of each child.
A volunteer's advocacy ensures that children have a safe permanent home and the appropriate services to lead a healthy successful life.
Training, support, and supervision are offered to assist volunteers as they work to make a difference for children.
Abuse and neglect are issues faced by every town and city in our state and across the country, no matter the size.
Some states may refer to volunteers as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) while North Carolina and others use the term Guardian ad Litem,
Latin for "during a lawsuit." The name may be different but for nearly 30 years the call to help has been answered by volunteers who share a
commitment to doing what is best for our children.
To learn more about volunteering please contact your county office or fill in the online form to receive additional information.

Nebraska Heads to NCAA Championships
Nebraska at NCAA Championships
Date: Friday, March 8-Saturday, March 9
Host: Ohio State
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Venue: Converse Hall/French Field House
Teams Participating: Air Force, Alaska-Fairbanks, Army, Jacksonville State, Kentucky, Nebraska, TCU, West Virginia
The Nebraska rifle team will wrap up a successful 2012-13 campaign this weekend, heading to Columbus, Ohio as one of eight teams selected to the NCAA Championships. The championships will take place on March 8-9 at Converse Hall and French Field House as the Huskers vie for top honors among the best rifle teams in the nation. NU (19-6, 3-3 GARC) will arrive in Columbus after firing a 4,647 to finish third at the GARC Championships on Feb. 23-24. The Big Red joins Alaska-Fairbanks, Jacksonville State, Kentucky, TCU, Air Force, Army and West Virginia in the championship field.
Nebraska's championship appearance will be the program's first since 2010, when the Huskers placed sixth overall, including a fifth-place finish in smallbore and fourth in air rifle. NU earned a spot in this year's championship as the No. 7 overall seed.
NCAA Championship Schedule
The 2013 NCAA Championships will officially begin on Friday, March 8 with smallbore individual and team competition at Converse Hall. Competition will run in three relays beginning at 8 a.m. and lasting until 3:30 p.m. Individual finals will then take place from 4:30 p.m. until the event's conclusion at 6 p.m.
Day two of the championships will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 9 in French Field House. Air rifle team and individual competition will run in two relays and will conclude at 12:45 p.m. Individual finals will follow at 1:45 p.m., with awards concluding the afternoon. The weekend will finish with the National Rifle Association (NRA) Banquet at 7 p.m. in the Fawcett Center.
Looking Back: Huskers at the NCAA Championships
Nebraska's performance in this weekend's NCAA Championship marks the ninth such appearance in program history. The Huskers have never finished lower than sixth at an NCAA Championship meet. The 2006 squad earned the highest finish in Nebraska rifle history, coming in at second overall. That team included Kristina Fehlings, who fired her way to a national championship finish in air rifle.
Nebraska's last NCAA appearance came in 2010, when NU finished sixth nationally. That team included current Nebraska seniors Janine Dutton and Joyce Kim; Dutton finished sixth nationally in air rifle.
Nebraska Captures Third-Place Finish at GARC Championships
The Nebraska rifle team fired a 4,647 to finish third overall at the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) championships on Feb. 22-24. NU's performance included a season-high 2,312 in smallbore and a 2,335 aggregate score in air rifle. The Huskers finished behind match champion West Virginia (first, 4,705) and regular-season champion Kentucky (second, 4,690) to earn their second third-place finish in two years at the GARC Championship.
Senior and honorable mention All-GARC smallbore selection Katelyn Woltersdorf and freshman Denise Martin led the way for the Huskers in smallbore competition, earning identical scores of 580 on the day. West Virginia's Petra Zublasing took top honors in the discipline, posting a score of 595 overall.
NU took to the air rifle range on day two of competition with a comfortable lead over fourth-place Army (2,297). The Huskers finished with a 2,335 in their second team event of the competition, securing their third-place position in the championship match. The Huskers' top performance on the day came from junior ReAnn Wilson, who fired a career-high 589 to lead Nebraska in the discipline.
Underwood, Seniors Earn GARC Honors
The Nebraska rifle team's three seniors and Head Coach Stacy Underwood took home a total of five awards at the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) Championship Banquet on Friday night. Coach Underwood earned Coach of the Year honors, while seniors Janine Dutton and Katelyn Woltersdorf both took home all-conference selections for their performances on the range. Fellow senior Joyce Kim was also named one of seven Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
Dutton picked up second-team All-GARC honors in air rifle and honorable mention All-GARC accolades in combined shooting. The Eagle River, Alaska native will finish her career at Nebraska with a total of five all-conference honors to her name. Woltersdorf earned honorable mention All-GARC honors in smallbore, marking her first all-conference award. Kim's Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor is a fitting capstone to a stellar academic career for the two-time academic all-conference selection.
Underwood earned GARC Coach of the Year honors on Friday after leading a resurgent Nebraska to the NCAA Championships this season for the first time since 2010. The former Husker has revived the Husker program, leading Nebraska to an NCAA Championship berth and a 23-9 record overall this season.
Dutton Fires Her Way into Husker Recordbooks
Two weeks after earning her fourth and fifth All-GARC honors of career, Janine Dutton will look to cap her record-setting season at Nebraska with a strong performance at the NCAA Championships. With a solid showing in her final match as a Husker, Dutton will cement her place in the Nebraska record books in multiple categories.
Dutton's season average of 588.2 in air rifle is currently Nebraska's third-highest season average in that discipline under the 60/60 shot system. Her average is also the highest for a senior in school history, edging Misty Chanek's 585.83 set in 2005-06. In addition, Dutton's season-best score of 592 in air rifle breaks Chanek's single match senior record of 591, set in 2006.
Underwood Leads Huskers to Successful Season
The Nebraska rifle program entered a new era on May 24, 2012 as the team announced former Husker shooter Stacy Underwood as its new head coach. In her first season at the helm of the Nebraska program, Underwood has propelled the Huskers back onto the national scene with an NCAA Championship-qualification and a third-place finish at the GARC Championships.
After NU posted a 10-15-1 record in 2012 and missed NCAA qualification for the second year in a row, Underwood was brought in to revive the storied Husker program and make it a national contender. The former Husker has done just that, leading Nebraska to a 19-7 record in the regular season and a 4-2 mark in postseason action. The impact of Underwood's coaching has been evident on the range, where Nebraska has averaged a combined score of 4,640 points per match this season--nearly 30 points better than least year's average. This drastic improvement can be seen in both disciplines: NU is averaging nearly 15 points per match better in smallbore and air rifle in 2012-13.
Underwood arrived at Nebraska after spending five years as an assistant coach under Coach Harry Mullins at Kentucky. During her time at Kentucky, Underwood helped the Wildcats to a 48-8 record and five top-five NCAA finishes. UK won the 2011 NCAA Championship while adding one GARC Championship title and two GARC regular-season crowns during Underwood's tenure. Underwood also assisted in the development of 26 All-Americans while at Kentucky.
Prior to her coaching career, Underwood competed for the Nebraska rifle team from 2003 to 2007. She was a four-year letterwinner for NU and a two-time NRA All-American. Underwood was named the GARC Senior of the Year in 2007 and also earned All-GARC honors in air rifle and combined. A team captain in 2004-05, she helped the Huskers to a third-place NCAA finish that season and a fifth-place finish in 2007.
Underwood graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2007, earning a bachelor's degree in education. She added a master's degree in kinesiology and health promotion from Kentucky in 2009.
Steady Seniors Lead NU into Postseason
Nebraska's three seniors have continued to make an impact in the Husker lineup as NU heads to the NCAA Championships this weekend.
Dutton has led the way for the Huskers in 2012-13, holding NU's top averages in smallbore (576), air rifle (588.2) and combined scoring (1,164.2). She is in the midst of her best scoring season yet at Nebraska, firing an average of 10 points above her career average in smallbore and three points above her air rifle average.
Katelyn Woltersdorf has also fired her way to a top-notch season, holding the No. 2 average in smallbore (575.7) and the No. 2 combined scoring average (1,158.3) on the team. Her smallbore average is nearly five points above her career average in that event as well.
Joyce Kim has come on strong in the final weeks of the regular season, culminating in a career-best and event-title winning mark of 582 in smallbore at the Roger Withrow Open. She also holds the No. 7 smallbore average for the Huskers at 567.4.
Junior Contributors
Husker juniors Sunny Russell and ReAnn Wilson have made solid contributions to the NU lineup throughout the season. The duo have appeared in both team and individual competition for the Big Red in 2012-13.
Russell has appeared as a declared team competitor in all of Nebraska's 11 regular-season matches and is tied for fifth on the team in air rifle (579.4) and is fifth in combined shooting (1,151.5). Russell's performances have gone far above her career averages, as the junior is firing over seven points above her career smallbore mark and over six points above her air rifle average.
Wilson has shown marked improvement throughout the course of the season, raising her smallbore average by nearly ten points (565.3) and her air rifle average by over six points (579.4). She posted a career-best 589 in air rifle at the GARC Championships to lead Nebraska.
Sophomore Hits Stride
Appearing as the lone sophomore in Nebraska's lineup this season, sophomore Kelsey Hansen is hitting her stride as one of NU's five declared competitors this season. Hansen is fourth on the team in air rifle average (582) and combined scoring (1,152.3). In the past month of competition, she has also fired career-best marks in smallbore (581) and air rifle (589).
Freshmen Grow in First Season
With the regular season drawing to a close, the freshmen on the Nebraska rifle team have made strides in their first year with the Big Red.
Alexandrea Lorentz has shown her capability as an individual competitor in NU's meets this season, holding the eighth-highest average in smallbore (566.8), air rifle (573.1) and combined scoring (1,138.9). She hails from West Anchorage High School and the Borealis Bullseyes club team.
Arriving at Nebraska from the Arvada Rifle and Pistol Club in Arvada, Colo., Major has continued to adjust to the competition level of collegiate rifle. She has particularly shown her growth in the last month of the season, firing career-bests in smallbore (568), air rifle (583) and combined scoring (1,151) at the NCAA Qualifiers.
Martin has been a crucial part of Nebraska's declared competitive team, earning a pair of individual titles in the Huskers' upset of Alaska-Fairbanks early in the season. Martin is tied for second at Nebraska in combined scoring average (1,158.3) and No. 2 in air rifle (584.5). She was also NU's top performer at the GARC Championships, logging a 580 in smallbore and a 586 in air rifle en route to a combined performance of 1,166.
Mical has shown tremendous growth throughout the season and is NU's No. 4 shooter in smallbore (570.7) and No. 5 performer in combined scoring average (1,149.2). She has fired some of Nebraska's top scores late in the season, highlighed by a 1,165 at the NCAA Qualifiers that included a 579 in smallbore and a 586 in air rifle.

What's your biggest challenge?
Do You Have Trouble with Sample Lysis?
Thorough mechanical lysis is an essential first step to break up the cells and spores in soil. Ceramic beads (included with the kit) are the most effective way to perform this initial lysis step.
Is Humic Acid Preventing You from Isolating Quality DNA from Soil?
Humic substances are produced by bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Due to their high molecular weight and polyanionic nature, most purification methods do not distinguish between humic molecules and DNA. For the same reason, humic substances (including humic acid) act as potent PCR inhibitors. NucleoSpin Soil contains Inhibitor Removal Columns that eliminate these humic substances. Other kits can copurify humic substances, leaving a brown color and interfering with PCR.
Total DNA was purified from forest soil with NucleoSpin Soil (MN) and a kit from competitor MP. Competitor MP's kit copurifies large amounts of humic substances, as shown by its colored eluate.
Are You Frustrated with Low Purity and Yield?
The highly variable composition of different soils makes it impossible to maximize DNA yield and purity for all samples with a single lysis buffer. Therefore, NucleoSpin Soil includes two lysis buffers plus an enhancer. You can mix and match these components to obtain the highest yield (2–10 μg DNA, depending on the sample) and purity (A260/280=1.7–1.9) for any type of soil, no matter what humic substances or PCR inhibitors it contains.
Is Your PCR Failing due to PCR Inhibitors?
The only way to be sure that your PCR reactions will be successful is to eliminate PCR inhibitors when you purify DNA from soil. NucleoSpin Soil includes very efficient wash buffers and Inhibitor Removal Columns that eliminate PCR inhibitors. The purified DNA is ready to use for PCR; no dilution or clean-up is necessary. And since the purified DNA does not need to be diluted, your PCR reactions will have maximum sensitivity. NucleoSpin Soil completely removes PCR inhibitors and provides good PCR results from undiluted eluates. DNA was purified with NucleoSpin Soil (using various combinations of the included Lysis Buffers and Enhancer) and with kits from Competitors MP and MO. 2 µl of undiluted eluate from each purification was used as a PCR template with fungi-specific internal transcribed spacer (ITS) primers. NucleoSpin Soil isolated pure DNA from every type of soil, and no dilution was needed for PCR. Competitor MP (Lanes 5) failed to yield DNA pure enough to be used undiluted. PCR from river sediment samples purified with the kit from Competitor MO (Lanes 6) was strongly inhibited. Lane 1. NucleoSpin Soil, using Soil Lysis Buffer SL1. Lane 2. NucleoSpin Soil, using Soil Lysis Buffer SL1 plus Enhancer SX. Lane 3. NucleoSpin Soil, using Soil Lysis Buffer SL2. Lane 4. NucleoSpin Soil, using Soil Lysis Buffer SL2 plus Enhancer SX. Lane 5: Kit from Competitor MP. Lane 6. Kit from Competitor MO.
Simple Soil DNA Purification Protocol
Purify DNA from up to 500 mg of soil in 90 minutes. Suspend your sample in lysis buffer and mechanically disrupt it using ceramic beads, then precipitate out proteins and PCR inhibitors and clear the supernatant by passing it through an Inhibitor Removal Column. Then bind the DNA to the column, wash out residual humic substances and PCR inhibitors, and elute pure DNA.

Scripture: Exodus 35:5 NIV From what you have, take an offering for the LORD. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the LORD an offering of gold, silver and bronze;
Observation: When the Israelites left Egypt, the Egyptians were so glad to see them leave they gave them anything they requested. They carried out the wealth of Egypt. Now God is requesting an offering of items to be used in building the tabernacle. Five times in this chapter and several times in the next chapter one reads that God wants the giver to be willing. God is blest when people give willingly. God is so worthy that people who serve him should serve him willingly. God so loves that he can only be pleased when people give willingly. People can only give what God first gave them. God can see himself in people who give willingly.
Application: In serving the Lord, how is just as important as what. How I serve the Lord demonstrates how worthy I believe He is. How I serve the Lord demonstrates how much I want to please Him.
Prayer: Lord, may you enjoy my service and my giving. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Dates have been set for several important events in the Village of Crossville. The board of trustees met Tuesday, Feb. 26 and are in the early stages of organizing the Barbeque Cook-Off, NSane Wrestling Fundraiser and the City-Wide Rummage Sale and Cleanup.
Dates have been set for several important events in the Village of Crossville. The board of trustees met Tuesday, Feb. 26 and are in the early stages of organizing the Barbeque Cook-Off, NSane Wrestling Fundraiser and the City-Wide Rummage Sale and Cleanup.
Mayor Henry Feldmann called the meeting to order and shortly after regular business items were handled, he moved to new business. The second annual Barbeque Cook-Off will be held Saturday, April 13. Feldmann asked several board members to meet at 7 p.m. next Tuesday, March 5 to begin the organizational process of the fundraiser for the Veteran's Memorial project. A vendor fair will be held in conjunction with the cook-off as well as other possible events, such as entertainment and a cake walk. The committee will begin to set up details at next week's meeting.
Also, a date has been set for the NSane Wrestling Fundraiser. The fundraiser is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, May 4 at the Ruritan building gymnasium. Tickets have been ordered for the event and should arrive within the next week. Ticket prices are $6 each and advanced sales will be offered. The coordinators of the event will take out a small fee from the ticket sales to pay the wrestlers and will also purchase all the food for the concessions. Any profit from both the ticket sales and the concessions will be donated to the Veteran's Memorial project. Mayor Feldmann also said sponsorships for the individual matches will be available, which will help offset the cost of the wrestler's fee. Tickets will also be available at the door the evening of the wrestling event. The organizers of NSane Wrestling noted that crowds have been good with more than 200 in attendance at recent area events.
Finally, the City-Wide Rummage Sale has been set for May 18. The following Saturday, May 22, will be utilized as the clean-up day from the sales.
Mayor Feldmann also addressed the issue of yard cleanliness of residents in the Village of Crossville. He noted several ditches in the area that have accumulated trash and leaves in them, which causes drainage issues.
"Please go out on your property and pick up the trash," said Mayor Feldmann. "It reflects on the rest of the town."
Feldmann did note the board will address the clean up this year and will become a little stricter about the rules and will issue citations for those who do not abide by the ordinance.
In other business, the board approved the motor fuel budget resolution for the maintenance of streets and highways by the municipality under the Illinois Highway Code. Also, Mayor Feldmann noted a donation in the memory of Perry Whitley from the company he worked for, Alpha National Resources, and also thanked Donna Whitley for an additional donation to the Veteran's Memorial in Perry's honor.
Mayor Feldmann reminded the board the concrete work for the Veteran's Memorial project will get underway as soon as the weather permits and they are first on the list for laying the concrete with the company doing the work. Also, Hannah Riley will soon begin the grant process for the Village of Crossville that will include a grant for the firehouse as well as a grant for small equipment for the village.

Some of these might have been used all ready but I don't want to read 3 pages of names. With the blade trigger, AGD Switch blade, or AGD Lion's Claw. With the 2x trigger, AGD Warp trigger(to go with warp feed), or AGD Furious Frame.
Im not going to even try to read all of the 6 pages.... so if i copy someone's idea... sorry. im too tired to care!

Big Daddy's .45
Flip Out
I skimmed through the postings and so far my two favorites were by Shartly and BigZamboni. Shartly's suggestion being "AGD PM Elite". As he put, it has a 'history' behind the word. One with a meaning to those who know of it and still enough of a catchy phrase for the rest of the open market.
My favorite has to be BigZamboni's "Advanced Grip Design". LIke he said, it isn't flashy... but it has a certain level of class to it, and the simple yet meaningful use of the words points to the high quality productions of AGD. And in turn I believe that it'll leave an impression on the minds of those who hear of the name, the usual reminder of the excellence in AGD's designs and service. Besides I don't think you really do need a 'flashy' name at all. Most out there will take one look at it and drool for one!
Here's my personal list of potential names for the new Double Frame. And since I wasn't able to view every single post up to this point, I apologize if any of these are duplicates. It's late, so they aren't too great... but here you go.
My ideas:
AGD Double Tap System � .45 Frame
AGD Dual Trigger Frame - .45 Frame
AGD Dual Trigger System / AGD D.T.S - .45 Frame
AGD Dual Ellipse Frame - .45 Frame
AGD Lance 2x- .45 Frame
AGD Lance Trigger Frame 2x � L.T.S .45 Frame
AGD Lance System - .45 Frame
AGD D.T.S Lance 2x � Double Tap System .45 Frame
AGD Freelancer 2x - .45 Frame
AGD Freelance Trigger Frame 2x � FTF .45 Frame
AGD Freelance Yield System 2x - .45 Frame
AGD 2x Wielder - .45 Frame
AGD 2x Trigger Wielder .45 Frame
AGD Dual Trigger Wielder .45 Frame
AGD Freelance Wielder 2x / AGD Dual Freelance Wielder 2x - .45 Frame
AGD 2x Advanced Yield System - .45 Frame
AGD Sanctuary 2x - .45 Frame
Or Sanctuary 2x by AGD - .45 Frame
AGD Dual Sanction Trigger Frame
AGD Sanction System/Frame 2x � The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the word Sanction as the following:
1. Authoritative approval
2. A measure (as a threat or fine) designed to enforce a law or standard.
As for you guys and the ladies over at AGD I have nothing but respect as well as customer satisfaction for you. Respect in the way you run your business, with quality and care for your customers. A business ran in a manner which every good businessmen and woman know equates to a great future in any market. The satisfaction comes from knowing that each time I purchase a product that has come out of your designs and productions will be of the highest caliber. Should it have an internal defect or an inherent problem in it's design, then I also know AGD will be there to 'fix' whatever error made. In an industry growing rapidly and with so many companies that claim one thing or another in it's ads, AGD stands out. I've yet to hear a major complaint in defects or customer service, or the lack of such. Even from among those who admittedly rather use a cocker and 'dislike' Mags, you can always find more than handful in one given group that still talk of it's quality and care.
Also since finding the AO forum I've posted constantly of how thankful I am for it's existence. I am very new to the sport, with only three field days worth of experience and my first game being less than two months ago. I can honestly say after my first day of paintball I came home and have been pretty much to almost all the 'known' paintball sites out there online. I devoured on materials and information written, as well as those posted in forums everywhere. Still, the bulk of all that I know about paintball has come from this forum. Through the searches and daily postings by those who visit here. Everything from the technical aspects as well as the recent post about what people do to prepare for a game the day before.
This relates to AGD in the fact that they maintain a forum such as this for the sole purpose of having constant contact and feedback by it's fans/customers. Not only do you guys over at AGD post here, but actually 'respond' to the various comments and questions put forth by us on a daily basis. Even just to say "your welcome" to a short post saying thank you. I'd say that's a class act.
Most of all the level of open kindness and indepth responses given by those who frequent the site. It can only reflect the company that attracts these great guys/gals that take a minute out of their day to help out someone like me, and all the others out there who are sure to come.
I guess at the end of those long post, this is just another thank you note from one of your new life long customer.

Update: "We definitely appreciate that the community has a lot of interest in seeing the Diablo series continue, and we certainly share that desire," a Blizzard representative told Shacknews when reached for comment.
"For now, though, our focus remains on StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. I'm afraid I don't have any new plans to announce at this time."
Original Story: Rumors are running rampant that Blizzard Entertainment may officially reveal its action-RPG sequel Diablo 3 next month.
The first solid evidence for Diablo 3 popped up in 2006. Since then, the World of Warcraft developer has unveiled StarCraft II, announced the WoW expansion Wrath of the Lich King, and mentioned a "Next-Gen MMO" that is not a WoW expansion.
Now, PC Gamer magazine has teased that its next issue--due around June 30--will feature a "top-secret cover story so huge we had to go to [CENSORED] to get it," and fansite Blizzplanet has responded with the following points to back speculation that the timing and phrasing suggests Diablo 3:
- Blizzard held a press event at its studio in early May.
- Blizzard is holding its 2008 Worldwide Invitational from June 28-29.
- Diablo II shipped in North America on June 29, 2000.
- Diablo II: Lord of Destruction shipped in Europe on June 29, 2001.
- StarCraft II was announced at last year's Worldwide Invitational.
The site further speculates that the "[CENSORED]" in PC Gamer's tease could be substituted with "hell," a likely Diablo reference. Then again, it could be replaced with anything from "Mars" to "The Mystical Island of Glitter Unicorns" and still make sense.
Shacknews has contacted Blizzard Entertainment for comment and will update with any further relevant information.

PHILADELPHIA --- Maalik Wayns has made two life-altering decisions involving the Villanova basketball program. The first: To join. The second: To leave. It wasn't until this week that he knew he would be vindicated for both.
Wayns is an NBA player, or at least will be Thursday when the 76ers open their preseason in Orlando. That, he suspects, is because of his training at Villanova. Yet that, he will be proving despite howling warnings from the pessimists, is because he left the Wildcats early.
Like any real point guard, Wayns has proven that timing means everything.
"I kind of knew I would have a good chance to play in the NBA," Wayns was saying Wednesday, after practice at the PCOM Center. "I didn't doubt that. I have a good agent and I thought I had a pretty good career at Villanova --- not great, but pretty good. So I knew I would have a chance."
Wayns was a high school All-American and chose Villanova from a limitless pot of college opportunities. But he lasted just two years on Lancaster Pike, including last season, when the Wildcats sputtered to a 13-19 record, 4-11 in the Big East … and further from where they'd been when the Roman Catholic High product enlisted.
"That's why I say I didn't have a 'great' career," Wayns said. "Because I went there with big expectations. I went there trying to bring a national championship to Villanova. And I didn't get that done."
The goal was not outrageous, given that as recently as 2009 the Wildcats were a Final Four team, and that Jay Wright had concocted consistent success with guard-dominated lineups. But the program flattened, then dipped, and then it lost Wayns, who has been what Doug Collins said Wednesday a "very, very special surprise" in training camp.
Though undrafted, Wayns spent some time with the Magic, then with Golden State in the Las Vegas summer league before surfacing with the Sixers and immediately impressing their coaches with his speed. Though the 6-foot-1 guard technically still must make the Opening Night roster, his training camp presence was a major reason why the Sixers officially waived guard Xavier Silas Wednesday, as their backcourt vision had grown more clear.
"We added Maalik and Royal Ivey," Collins said. "So the numbers were against him."
The numbers, then, are with Wayns, at least when it comes to the roster. As for the playing rotation, he remains in a little deep, with Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Ivey and Jason Richardson higher in the mix, and with Collins unafraid to bump a forward into one of those spots on occasion.
"I don't know, but hopefully I will play," Wayns said. "It's whatever the coach wants from me. That's what I do and I do it every day. Right now, that's to play hard and push the other guys."
In the 10 minutes of a late-practice scrimmage visible to the press Wednesday, Wayns was lively and aggressive, made a rookie mistake or two, was among the fastest players on the PCOM floor and hardly was out of place.
Whatever happened at Villanova --- and there were many nights when Wayns was spectacular --- clearly had worked.
"I am never satisfied," Wayns said. "I am a worker. I like being the best, but last year, we didn't win a lot and I think that put a toll on me. Now that I am back, I am happy and everything is good."
That includes his relationship with Wright's program.
"I have no regrets," he said. "I have a lifetime relationship with Villanova. There were a lot of great things for me there. I played there and have no regrets. Next summer, I definitely will start back there and get my degree."
He'll earn his degree, but he already has earned a spot in Villanova basketball lore.
"Coach was not upset that I left," Wayns said. "In fact, he was kind of honored. He knew I was ready for this. He was behind me 100 percent, because he knew I could play in the NBA."
Thursday, in Orlando, Wayns will be in an NBA uniform and playing. No regrets, indeed.

Update: Shacknews has quote from 3D Realms' George Broussard saying that this is the result of some confusion, and is not true, the story going on to clarify that DNF is using a 100% in-house engine. - Original story: Listening through the entirety of the Take Two quarterly earnings conference call (thanks GameSurf) offers a startling revelation. A question about a Duke Nukem Forever release date, which naturally was not provided, elicited the casual remark that the game is "using the DOOM 3 technology, which is finished." 3D Realms' long-in-development shooter started as a Quake engine game, before switching to the Unreal engine. There you go -- proof that even dry conference calls can be exciting.

Ya, I often discount how many lurkers are about that are honestly interested in reality.
How much do you discount them? 20%? 50%? Do you double the offer if they call RIGHT NOW? Do you throw in extra Shammy-poo or Ginsu knivess with their order of reality just for paying by credit card?
I wonder if the OP plans to return to discuss this further?
Quote from: Moderator_A25 on August 31, 2010, 02:11:43 PMI wonder if the OP plans to return to discuss this further?He was on 5 hours ago. I think JeffPT & others answered him solidly though, so I don't know what else he'd have to say.
Ignore substantial explanatory posts and concentrate on vague quotations by making pointless red herrings.
Like he hasn't done this before?
He was on 5 hours ago. I think JeffPT & others answered him solidly though, so I don't know what else he'd have to say.
JeffPT: good post, but lifting cars off of children? Isn't super strength a myth? Sure adrenaline can make us a little stronger, but no old woman is going to lift a car.
You would be amazed at what the body can do when "pushed to the limits". The body is more amazing than we can possibly know.
Can you experience medicine and still believe in god?
Please explain to me what is supernatural about this?
Someone goes into a state of emotional shock when confronted by a close call in which she obviously blacked out unconscious and went into dream and imagined being visited by the god figure she had been brought up to believe. Did she become privvy to any information she couldn't have found out elsewhere or something? Why is this anything more than her imagination? You've been on this site for a while and you're still posting things like this. Why do you think this would constituen compelling evidence?
Chemical reactions going on in the brain when the body sees itself dying.
Why don't you think Yr, and its gods, don't exist? Deborah Blau had endless conversations with its gods and it is well documented (I never promised you a rose garden by Joanne Greenberg) and there's no doubt the story is honest.
I love how the "NDE's" always contain notions of the surpernatural that the experiencer had to learn BEFORE they died. Never anything new that couldn't have happened anyway....Things like "G" gods and "H" hims.
If she was clinically dead for a week and came back and told this 'story', maybe then we could talk.Until such time she and others like her are either lying or mentally traumatized from being on the edge of death.Either way, personal testimony or NDE experience is not proof.
It's all cultural. If all NDE's were the same, regardless of culture and beliefs, then you might have more evidence on your side. But a few Christian woo experiences doesn't lead to the belief in the Christian God, any more than 11 Thai experiences makes me believe in Yamatoots.
Man what's wrong with just dealing with the fact when you die it is the end of your consciousness? :shrug :shrug :shrug It ain't that scary really. What's scary is either an eternity of paradise (so boring) and punishment (which your get use to eventually and is also very boring). Thankfully that's bullshit.
Can you experience medicine and still believe in god? Medicine uses naturalistic principles that point towards no gods and has been shown to cure people.
If NDErs are lying then so to must be the astronauts undergoing extreme training who report similar(?) experiences.

Well March Madness is well underway, but as usual, not around the BlueTower, as neither I nor MrsBlue have any interest in college hoops. In fact the list of sports that I prefer to watch over college basketball is pretty lengthy: pro (NFL) football, pro baseball, pro basketball, hockey, softball, rally racing, NASCAR racing, dog shows, and of course, poker.

Sad, drooping balloons, only partly filled with helium, drifting down the day after the party. Distributors stockpiling helium, doling it out only to major buyers, cutting it with nitrogen to make it go further. Balloon experts refocusing on different services, balloon drops at midnight this New Year's Eve, rather than floating displays.
A worldwide shortage of the lighter-than-air, non-renewable gas has caused headaches for party planners since last summer's proms and graduations, and Vancouver's balloon community said this holiday period is no different.
"Some of the suppliers, they just stopped suddenly. Then they raised the prices," said Carlos Gonzalez, owner of Balloon Studio on Kingsway. "It's not as easy as it was."
Before the shortage, 100 cubic metres of helium could fill around 600 standard 11-inch balloons and cost $135. A tank that size now costs Gonzalez $195, he said.
His company does a brisk business in balloon sculptures made using nitrogen, but other businesses still rely on helium, like the dollar store next door that was forced to shut down its balloon operations when suppliers cut it off. And Gonzalez has heard other stories of suppliers secretly mixing nitrogen with helium to keep their clients happy.
"What they don't know is that it's like mixing stones with feathers," he said. That's because of the difference in density between the two substances. Other gases can drag the helium down, making a display deflate before the party's over. Pure helium can float a balloon for a month or more, depending on the balloon materials - which are not created equal - according to the experts contacted by The Vancouver Sun.
Besides being famous for making voices squeaky, it's also widely used in medical procedures, manufacturing, national defence, and of course, floating balloon displays at celebrations.
Helium is odourless, colourless and inert. It's heavier than hydrogen, but safer since it doesn't burn.
While it is the second-most abundant element on Earth, it is hard to capture.
The "present, acute" shortage is expected to continue into 2013, according to U.S. federal officials.
The most common source is natural gas deposits, and more than a third of the world's supply of helium comes from the U.S. Federal Helium Program, which has reserves in Texas, and blames the current shortage on supply interruption at plants in Qatar, Algeria, Australia, the state of Wyoming and a drop in natural gas prices.
Some businesses are losing customers as pure helium becomes harder to acquire.
"You've got to put your prices up and people shy away from that," said Bal-loonatics Designs owner Isaac Dib, who estimates he's lost up to 20 per cent of his balloon business because he's upped his prices by 40 per cent. "It's a self-fulfilling prophecy," he said as he filled up a three-foot balloon for a waiting client.
To keep prices down, he was also forced to choose cheaper materials or use less helium to blow up balloons, which now only last a day.
Dib has three different suppliers and sometimes has to hit up all three to get the gas he needs. Other times, he does without. He's thankful midnight balloon drops are popular for New Year's parties, and that some manufacturers are trying to develop balloons that will mimic the helium effect using air, though they don't have the same magic, Dib said.
But he's also philosophical about the whole thing.
"I'm sure just like everything in the world, everything's going to get depleted one day, you can't stop that."
Others have been cautious with their supply and are sitting more comfortably.
"We've been not renting out as many helium tanks. But at the moment we've stockpiled, so we do have some to rent," said Elena Gosselin, a manager at Party Bazaar on Station Street.
Although supply is tighter, talk of the helium shortage is "blown out of proportion," she said. "We do have some. Not a lot, but some."

Smyrna Town Council discussed several topics at their Jan. 7 meeting, including approving the architect and engineer contracts for the police station project as previously reported in the Jan. 9 Smyrna/Clayton Sun-Times. Here are some tidbits from the rest of the meeting:
Committee vacancies filled
Council unanimously approved the appointments of Michael Reed and David Bruner to the town's Planning & Zoning Commission.
At first, Mayor Pat Stombaugh hesitated to make the appointments because of concerns from a few residents as well as a lack of provided bios. Council requires bios to be submitted so members can learn more about the individual.
Stombaugh said that residents voiced concern because Reed and Bruner are brothers-in-law, and Reed serves on the Historic District Review Board.
Councilwoman Valerie White said, she too, received calls of concerned residents: "I addressed the issue with Janet [Vinc] and it's still coming as her recommendation."
Vinc is the town's manager of Planning & Zoning.
Commission member Keith Faulkner told council he didn't see their family relation as an issue, and that having Reed on both Planning & Zoning and the Historic District Review Board would be an asset.
"We've had to cancel meetings because we didn't have enough members to pass a motion," Faulkner said. "It's embarrassing to cancel a meeting with members of the public there."
Ultimately, as there were no major concerns for other council members, Stombaugh made the appointment, which was approved by council.
Police receive grant money
The Smyrna Police Department received a $29,000 grant from the Office of Highway Safety for the town's DUI and traffic stops.
Chief Wil Bordley said after the meeting that the department got the grant for allowing DUI checkpoints to be set up in Smyrna.
Smyrna Police had 110 DUI arrests in 2012, up from the 96 DUI arrests they had in 2011.
"That's an outstanding job considering we were down four officers," Bordley said.
Fixing streetlights
Councilman Anthony DeFeo brought up the issue of streetlights not working during his Public Safety Committee report.
"I've noticed we've got a lot of streetlights out in town," DeFeo said. "Every now and then we need to have someone ride at night time to see what needs to be fixed."
Town Manager Dave Hugg said he actually received a list of streetlights not working from Councilwoman Joanne Masten and he was sending someone out the next day to fix them. Hugg also asked for the police officers to keep an eye out while on patrol.
"If they see one, have them call the business office with the street address or poll number," Hugg said.
Planning around a town block
Councilman Jeff Flairty said along with continued discussions on the Route 13 Corridor Plan, the Long Range Planning Committee is discussing land use regarding the town block, which includes Main Street and Commerce Street.
Flairty said the committee will discuss how potential development can help out the town block area at their next meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 5:30 p.m. in the conference room at town hall.
