Producers often tell me that one bottleneck to strategic planning of marketing is not knowing which planning prices to use. Thus, I am sharing with ranchers my forecasting and marketing strategy evaluation techniques.
It consists of two parts. First, I prepare an extensive set of planning prices for the next 12-18 months. Second, I enter them into an expanded set of enterprise budgets that project the gross income, resource costs and earned economic net returns for alternative marketing strategies.
Due to limited space, this column will focus solely on the development of my latest set of suggested planning prices.
Calculating a market price line
Each week, USDA's Agriculture Marketing Service (AMS) reports prices weekly for most sale barns around the U.S. (see "More data," page 17). Given my location and that of most of my clients, I usually focus on eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska prices.
For this column, I've used western Nebraska's sale barn summary WH-LS795 for the week of Oct. 16, which is a summary for 10 sale barns. By the way, each AMS sale barn summary has a unique AMS number, so once you find your local sale barn's number, you can access the most recent report by simply keying it into Google.
Table 1 carries the detailed market price summary data for western Nebraska. Each line represents the average weight and market price for groups of feeder calves sold.
In Table 2, I've entered each line's average weight and price into a spreadsheet. The first two columns are the input numbers from the sale barn summary sheet. The last two columns were automatically calculated from the weight column.
Columns one and two — weight and market price — graphically present the weight/price relationships for that week's sale barn sales (Figure 1). In general, we can see the well-known, price-slide phenomenon where as calf weights go up, the calf price goes down. This is the concept behind price slides used in video marketing of feeder cattle.
The small blue line is a statistically calculated straight-line price trend for western Nebraska feeder calves the week of Oct. 16. In reality, most weeks' optimum price lines are curve-linear rather than linear. By using the "cwt. squared" from Table 2 in the spreadsheets regression routine, a statistical curve-linear price line can be generated; see Figure 2. The statistical equation calculated for these western Nebraska markets is: Calf price = 224.4476661 - (26.2759365 × cwt. of calf) + (1.814615621 × cwt. 2 of calf).
This is a statistical equation of feeder-calf prices for western Nebraska for the week of Oct. 16, and graphically depicts the calculated price line for western Nebraska feeder steers for that week, shown in Figure 2. Remember that price slides are different for each alternative feeder calf weight.
My calculated market price-line equation can now be entered into any spreadsheet and used to calculate western Nebraska feeder steer prices for any weight of feeder calf for the week of Oct. 16.
Price analysis
With this price-line equation, you can begin analyzing the week's calf prices.
For example, this equation can be used to generate the price-line table (Table 3), which summarizes western Nebraska sale barn prices for the week of Oct. 16. The table presents feeder-cattle prices by 25-lb. increments.
The columns, from left to right, are feeder-calf weight, market price, price drop (price slide at that particular weight), total value per head, market value of the last pound of weight (i.e., the economists marginal price), and the market price basis (market price minus futures price).
The first few columns in Table 3 are self-explanatory. From the price drop (price slide) column, I get an indication of the actual demand for lightweight calves. When the price line is steep, the demand is high for lightweight calves. When it's flat, the demand for lightweight calves is low.
Another implication of the price drop column is that we know the value of added weight is always less than the average price. This column evaluates the economics of any production practice that adds weight, such as creep feeding or preconditioning, by using the "value of the last pound."
The "calculated market basis" column is generated by subtracting the sale barn reported prices from the reported futures market feeder-cattle price for that month. This gives me a calculated market price basis for each alternative weight of feeder calf.
Expanding price analysis
As this calculated price line for western Nebraska gives me detailed price slides and market-price basis, I can now build a price table for feeder cattle for any futures contract month reported by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The absolute price level is based on futures prices, while relative prices are based on western Nebraska's price slides for the week of Oct. 16. For example, Table 4 is the projected price table for fall '08 (Oct '08) feeder-cattle prices.
Using this procedure for each feeder-cattle futures contract month, I can generate planning prices for different weights of feeder cattle in key marketing months for the rest of 2007 and all of 2008.
While space precludes my listing these other planning-price tables here, Table 5 summarizes all my planning-price tables for selected marketing points in a year for the next 12-15 months. These are based on western Nebraska's sale barn price and the CME's feeder-cattle futures market, but they can be generated for any marketing region in the U.S.

* Quick and Easy Valentine's Day Kid's Craft: Make "Fancy" Embellished Pencils
Here's a super easy, kid-friendly, 5- minute Craftivity
to celebrate Valentine's Day or anytime with a snazzy pencil!
(It first appeared here in Family Fun Magazine)
Make "fancy" pencils by tying a piece of ribbon at the end of your pencil
(use a double knot) then string a few beads on one end and knot it again in another
double knot. Then, glue two felt hearts (or another shape) together on the other end.
You could also stick two craft foam stickers together for the same effect.
These would be quick and easy for a class party activity, a Scouts project,
or for your child to make as inexpensive Valentine Gifts for their classmates!

* Valentine's Day Craft: Re-Cycled Card Basket
Here's a fun project from my archives to help you recycle
those Valentine's Day cards that will be arriving shortly.
Last year, we recycled some of our favorite
Valentine's Day Cards into a card basket/bowl of our own!
To start, I printed out a template I found here
I traced it onto a piece of manilla file folder (sturdier for multiple tracings).
They also have great directions--
that I should have followed instead of just winging it.
You'll need 14 cards for this project
(or kid drawings on cardstock!)
You'll trace 12 "side" pieces
and 2 "bottom" pieces.
They used white glue and I didn't --
my life would have been easier if I had tacked mine
together with a dab of glue.
My pieces kept slipping around and that wasn't
fun during the sewing part.
You'll use a hole punch to punch holes evenly
around the edges of each piece and yarn
(or embroidery thread) with a fat embroidery needle
to sew the basket together.
Here's the bottom.
Like I said, should have followed the directions --
Side View.... (I'll just say the kid's sewed it, not their incompetent mother)
It does make a handy little bowl to hold your treasures!
Happy Re-Cycled Crafting!

* Imaginative Play: Valentine Shop in our Playroom!
The girls have been enjoying their
Valentine's Day Sensory Box
and it evolved into another fun game one evening
this week while I was cooking dinner.
The girls set up a "Valentine's Day Shop" in our playroom
and invited me to do a little shopping.
"E" made this sign with her dry erase board.
These prices are great, I wanted to buy out the whole shop
but they wouldn't let me.
I'm sorry the photos are so dark, it was evening while they were playing.
Lip gloss and some of C's special valentine candy boxes.
Do your children like to set up pretend stores and shops?
Happy Imaginary Play!

* Valentine's Day Themed Sensory Rice Box With Scented Pink Rice
"C" and I were inspired by all of the cute
Pink (her favorite color) and Red Valentine Displays
at Target this week and decided we should make a
Valentine-themed sensory box!
We made a quick batch of pink rice.
I used Gel Food Coloring for the first time and the color is fantastic!
I am a convert.
We also used Rubbing Alcohol instead of our usual hand sanitizer gel method
and it blended the colors really nicely and dried more quickly.
(We used one big bag of white rice from Walmart for this box)
I also added a few drops of Lavender essential oil this time
and the rice smells wonderful,
it also makes your hands smell nice after you've been playing in it!
For this batch we used (1) 5lb. bag of white long grain rice.
I put it in a big mixing bowl and squeezed in a drizzle of red gel food coloring.
Then, I tossed in a little bit of rubbing alcohol,
probably a capful or two.
Then we stirred it up with a big mixing spoon.
Keep adding bits of food coloring and a little alcohol
(to distribute it and make it soak into the rice)
until you have the color you want.
NOTE: As you stir and the color "develops" it will get a bit darker and richer
so if you're going for lighter colors take your time and give it a minute
before you add more color!
You can also dye uncooked pasta/noodles this same way for other projects.
We added three clear heart boxes from the Dollar Spot at Target,
they're fun to use as boxes to sort into-
they'll be great for our light table too!
We also picked up some smaller pink and red mini heart boxes
and pink heart shaped "gems" all from Target Dollar spot.
So for $4, we got all of these fun new goodies for our box.
"C" made me boxes of valentine candy all afternoon.
I also added our mini metal mail box from last Valentine's day,
a set of red measuring spoons from our kitchen (Dollar Tree)
a red funnel, and an ice cream scoop.
See those cute little paper hearts?
Those are from little toothpick toppers, the kind that come with
co-ordinating cupcake liners.
We picked them up at Dollar Tree last week.
We use them to make lunches and snacks "fancy"
After we eat with them, I snap off the tops
(without any pokey or sharp parts sticking out)
and toss them into our sensory boxes.
I almost forgot, they had this cute silicone heart pan in the
Dollar Spot at Target too! (So I guess I spend $5)
Fun for counting and sorting heart gems and little toothpick toppers.
"C" playing with her Valentine box in the playroom,
waiting for big sister to get home from school and join in the fun!

* Kid-Friendly Spaces and Toy Storage Solutions In Our Home
I am really enjoying my online Playful Learning Spaces e-class with the
lovely and talented, Mariah Bruehl
(you might know her from a fun little blog and book called Playful Learning)
I recently shared some of the successful kid-friendly spaces in our home
on our class' Flickr page
and thought you might find some inspiration in them as well!
(Warning: Get ready for a photo heavy and wordy post!)
I have found that having kid-friendly, proportional,
accessible and organized spaces
make our home run much more smoothly.
I have found that having kid-friendly, proportional,
accessible and organized spaces
make our home run much more smoothly.
I'll start your tour with our Play Room.
Our formal "dining room" is our playroom.
Along the wall in our playroom I assembled book cases from Staples office store
and used paper covered foam core to color the back of each shelf.
You could also use cute wrapping paper.
Toys are in square (photo labeled) bins from Target.
The wire along the duct work is from Ikea and the flash cards
These are the laminated photo labels I have tied onto each bin with bits of ribbon.
The labels are made with Scotch Brand self laminating pouches
from the office supply area at Walmart/Target/Kmart.
This bin holds Playmobil sets.
This bin holds our puppets.
Everything is labeled with photos
so kids, friends, and babysitters know how to clean up quickly.
Everything has it's own place or home, just like a classroom.
Here are some skinny plastic bins
we use to store various toys and light table materials.
I may add some photo labels
but the girls like seeing through the bins to know what they're getting out.
Wooden blocks in a sturdy basket at kid (floor) level in the playroom.
The dress up clothes are in the rotating stand
to the left of the Ikea bookcase.
I found the dress up stand online many years ago.
We have curtains (Pottery Barn, discontinued) hanging to provide privacy
from our kitchen eating area at night
and make a fun background for plays and puppet shows.
Here is a corner in our Family Room.
This is our "block corner" it has Duplos, Legos, Wooden Blocks,
and small wooden toys for building "Lands"
The boom box is for our "Listening Center"
with headphones, books and CDs/Tapes in the small basket in the corner.
The listening center books are on the right hand upper shelf.
The left hand upper shelf holds Legos and a binder with lego instructions/ideas.
The lower left shelf holds my daughter's rock collection
and the wooden crate holds more of their seashell and nature collection.
Here is the post I wrote about her Rock Collection.
Another view of the "block corner"
This is a small vertical Closet Maid unit from Target
that we have laying on it's side behind our couch in our family room.
The square storage bins (also from Target) hold toys and puzzles,
the table is great for drink glasses, snacks, and remote controls while watching TV.
Now we'll go upstairs and visit C's Room.
This is our 4 year old daughter, C's room.
She has access to her books,
toys are stored in the lower cabinets with doors,
a small play kitchen on the right wall,
and a small (kid-size) table and chairs
that she uses for coloring and having tea parties with her stuffed animals.
The table is an awful Disney Princess table set we got at Kmart
a few years ago, I was going to repaint it but then I put the cute table cloth
on it and it's MUCH better (and I didn't have to paint!)
You can see the corner of her "sticker board" collection hanging on her door.
It's a piece of foam core hanging from a ribbon that she is
allowed to stick on any stickers she gets from school, doctor's appointments, etc.
C's book nook.
This is her little reading corner in her room.
She enjoys sitting in her little chair and flipping through books.
We select 4-5 books to read together every night at bedtime as well.
The doll house book case came from Target a few years ago,
square bins are Closet Maid also form Target,
the tiny toile arm chair was a first birthday gift to my oldest daughter 8 years ago.
Close-up of the shelves in my daughter's room.
The bins are nice for paperback scholastic books.
They aren't in a specific order but we do keep some books together,
for example all of the Maisy Books, Curious George, Eric Carle, etc. are together.
I'll put other groupings together too: halloween books in one stack, winter-theme, etc.
She does flip through them easily because they're all facing the same direction
it's easier to see the covers than looking at spines on a shelf since she's not reading yet.
C's books are arranged by color.
Here is E's room.
There are built in book cases in E's room (age almost 9).
Some of my art books are in here because we don't have anywhere else to store them
(her room used to be our guest room)
I added the bins for her to store stuffed animals, coloring books,
knitting supplies, and various papers.
The square bins are Closet Maid from Target/Walmart.
The "dotty" plastic bins were from Target's Dollar bin section last spring.
That's our homemade Fairy House on the floor in front of the bookcase.
E's Desk.
This is a desk we rescued out of our neighbor's trash a few years ago.
We gave it a makeover with white and purple spray paint.
The mini shelf with the little bins is "Closet Maid" from Target.
She sits here to draw her fashion sketches, fold Origami,
and draw cartoons in the morning and after school.
And...Yes that is her terrarium in the corner.
Her pet garden snail "Tiny" lives in it, she's had him for 4 years. : )
This is on the other wall in E's room.
Books and a few of her favorite collectibles on display.
It's her own space to arrange as she wishes.
She is very tidy and likes everything in it's proper place (just like her mom!)
E's tall bookcase in her room.
One of my older daughter's bookcases in her room.
She keeps most of her "reference" library on these shelves.
It's her favorite book "genre".
Her American Girl dolls and doll clothes are stored in the lower cabinet.
Let's go back downstairs to the Kitchen.
Kid dishes in our kitchen.
This is where I keep bowls and cups at "kid level"
so the girls can get their own cups of water and snacks.
This is in that little drawer under the ovens
that is too small to use for much of anything.
They use glass dishes and cups too,
but they're in a higher up cabinet that I get down for them.
This is just for their own snacks and drinks for the girls and their friends
to grab when they're playing or out in the yard.
It's an odd assortment of dishes from Ikea and Target.
This wall in our kitchen table eating area is where we display the kid's school art projects.
I used old frames and bulletin board cork material to make a rotating gallery space.
They are backed with foam core and
I use thumbtacks or push pins to hold up the art work.
Here is our Art Studio.
When we moved into this house we decided to use
our very large "formal" living room as our art studio space.
The large cabinets along the wall are Ikea Kitchen Islands,
they have nice deep drawers and shelves for art supplies.
The little green table and stools are also from Ikea
- the girls do most of their projects here.
I re-arrange this space depending on what kind of project we're working on.
I have a big fold up picnic style table I set up in the middle of the room
for art classes and camps.
Watercolor Basket.
I was inspired by Mariah and another classmate to move our watercolors to a basket
so the girls have everything they need whenever they want to paint.
I included two tablets of watercolor paper,
a small roll of paper towels, paints, brushes, a glass jar (for water),
a small and extra fine tip sharpie, a sharpened pencil
and some water-soluble watercolor crayons and pencils.
The girls loved having easy access to the new watercolor basket
and jumped right in to creating with it!
Re-purposed Diaper Caddy = Portable Writing and Art Center
I converted our old diaper caddy from Pottery Barn
to hold markers, crayons, paper, etc.
Portable and easy for the girls to tote around wherever they need it.
Also great for homework time at the kitchen table.

Tomorrow is the only day I know of which sounds like an order: "March Fourth!"
So, we do…with MS, we March Forth!
Every month we take a moment and assess our MS symptoms, treatments, coping mechanisms, triumphs and tribulations; our lives with MS.
Today, have a check-in moment with yourself and answer the question; "How is your MS today?"
My MS has been static the past several weeks. I'm pretty glad as I have not been! Maybe it's because I've gotten used to the "stuff" MS has already taken away, but life with MS has been alright (relative) this past four weeks. Anyway, I've had a lot going on (I've already traveled away from home 2 weeks on three trips this year…and it's only the third month!) and I'm happy that I haven't had any new stuff to deal with.
Had a neuro appointment a couple of weeks ago and it's time to get back on that track (more to follow).
So, it's the first Wednesday in March; tell us about YOUR MS today. Do it quickly here on the 3rd and then, March Fourth!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – In their first home outing, the 3-0 Jacksonville State Gamecocks defeated the Golden Eagles 3-0. The loss was tough, but the team overcame obstacles they have been battling for the past month.
Set scores for the Gamecocks were 25-22, 25-20 and 25-23.
The volleyball team has had a rocky first month, but returning to their home court definitely provided a jumpstart. The Golden Eagle fans were loud and proud, making a large difference in the attitude of the players. The team that played tonight is capable of making a splash in conference play.
"We have 15 conference matches left and we have the belief that we can win every one of them," said head coach John Blair. "Every day you're going to have a challenge placed in front of you. How are you going to approach that? Are you going to let the hurdle win or are you going to jump over it."
Tech has hurdled many obstacles: injury, illness, countless setbacks facing some of the top competition in the country. Now, proven tonight, they are playing well. They aren't being outplayed by opponents, they are being outscored.
"We're working on things everyday that will change that. In the three conference matches we've played, we've just been outscored. Once we find those keys, we'll be the ones in control."
Two key differences to tonights match was the impact of the freshmen. Audrey Lewis had her first seven kill performance in her career on 30 attacks while recording 13 digs. Cody Dodd logged four terminations on 14 swings and added one block assist.
"There's a reason they're here. We believe they could be outstanding volleyball players and we saw glimpses of that tonight," said Blair.
Senior Kelsey Gray led the Golden Eagle attack with her third straight nine-kill match. Gray lead the team with six blocks, three solo blocks and three block assists. Madison Keyes had a season high five kills and Natalie Penrod chipped in with four.
Defensively, Tech was led by Courtney Smith who sprawled for 30 digs, a career-high. Madison Comperry dove around for 13 digs, and Penrod added six. Katrina Dvorken logged five blocks, one block solo and four block assists. Keyes also had a hand in three blocks.
Each set was tight, all three going down to the final moments for a game decision. Set one was tied at 21-21 and kills were exchanged until back-to-back kills and a Golden Eagle attack error gave Jacksonville State a 24-21 advantage. A kill from Penrod paused a win for the Gamecocks, but it wasn't enough as a kill from JSU ended set one 25-22.
In set two, Tech jumped to an early 4-0 lead, but the Gamecocks snuck their way back into the match. The set was tied 12-12 before a seven point run by JSU placed the Golden Eagles in a difficult spot. Tech fought back to within five, but ran out of time as the set ended at 25-20.
Set three was another barnburner. The set was tied at 23-23 when back-to-back kills by JSU again won the set and match, 25-23.
The Golden Eagles return to action Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Hooper Eblen Center. They face UT Martin in a match slated to begin at 2:00 p.m. CT.

Careers in Justice and Peace
A JPST major or minor prepares students for a wide variety of careers, or advanced study, spanning the fields of law, politics, education, medicine, business, nonprofit management, community development, and advocacy. In general, there is never a shortage of jobs in justice and peace work. Sometimes there is a shortage of jobs with salaries, or salaries and wages are modest, but there is never any lack of work.
As a true liberal arts major, justice and peace studies will enrich any major or area of work. No matter what one chooses to do, one will do it with expanded skills and insights in critical thinking, effective work, and wise action on behalf of the common good.
Below are some of the careers our graduates have gone into.
One of our graduates, TaeRa Franklin, has worked as a Staff Attorney in the Foreclosure Prevention Project at South Brooklyn Legal Services, helping disadvantaged clients avoid losing their homes. She has also edited a newsletter for a group of lawyers, taken leadership positions in legal associations, and has published several articles. As an attorney and conflict resolver, one of our other graduates, Jeffrey Loew, helps his clients work through family disputes over trusts, estates, and other legal matters.
A number of our students have utilized their background in Justice and Peace Studies by going on to practice compassionate medicine. Reetu Syal is now a obstetric-gynecologist. Jacqueline Dinusson's practice supplements her teaching as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family and Community Medicine. Jennifer Hyer practices "full-spectrum rural family medicine" in Alaska--from birth (delivering babies), through childhood, adulthood, and into hospice/end of life care. She focuses on preventative medicine, and combines eastern with western medicine ("integrative medicine"). She added a Masters in Public Health to her MD degree, and worked in Washington DC on health care reform.
Some of our graduates have gone into counseling after further study in graduate school. For example,Michelin Hegland earned an M.A. in Adlerian Psychology and founded her own counseling practice,BEvolution, LLC.
Several of our graduates have found that Justice and Peace Studies pairs well with a career in education; for example, Michelle LeBlanc. Or you could also teach social justice in parish settings like Michael Johnson . Our graduates, like Heidi Tousignant, have gone on to teach at, or work in, grade schools, high schools, and colleges.
Church Work
As noted under education, parishes often look for staff to teach social justice (Michael Johnson), sometimes in conjunction with youth ministry.
You could apply your justice and peace vision to a commercial job in business. Steve Bauer works with Paragon Coffee in New York as a wholesale coffee buyer and seller, specializing in fair trade coffee. He recently began investing in a biodiesel company in the state of Washington that produces motor fuel from algae that grow on sewage. Tomoko Sayama has worked for an Australian recruiting firm seeking cross-cultural, bilingual candidates from universities and graduate schools in Japan and abroad to work for foreign investors in Japan and China.
Several of our graduates have served as aides or research assistants in offices of U.S. Senators and Representatives.
Governmental or Inter-Governmental Organizations
Several of our graduates have served in the Peace Corps or in Americorps; others have applied their justice and peace background to working for the United Nations.
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Advocacy Work
Several of our graduates have gone into advocacy work with various organizations. Starting as a U.S. representative to the Pax Christi international office in Brussels, Belgium, and after completing an MA at Louvain University, Michelle LeVoy worked her way up to become Director of PICUM, the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants . Tamara Thompson works currently with the Albanian American Women's Association, while also writing articles for JMC Strategies headed by the former director of the National Coalition for Haitian Rights where she previously worked. Jesse Lecy worked in Kosovo with the American Refugee Committee shortly after the NATO bombings. After completing his tour, he stayed behind to train a mixed-language tri-national team of youth runners (Serb, Albanian, Roma), and then took them to Greece to run the Marathon. Sarah Kirk Lavezzo spent two years working on community development for the poor in South Bronx. Other NGOs that our graduates have worked with include Simpson Housing, Project for Pride in Living, and Alliance of the Streets.
Agriculture and Environment
As Ranch Manager at B Bar Ranch in Yellowstone country, Mark Waite has promoted endangered livestock breeds, hosted environmental groups, and lobbied to keep the Yellowstone grizzly on the endangered species list and to get a large area on the edge of Yellowstone Park designated as a Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Area. Other graduates have worked with the Minnesota Farmers' Union and the Mississippi Market Co-op.
Raise a Family
Along with one of these careers, or as a full-time career in itself, graduates can raise a family to promote values of justice and peace.

BRISTOL — For years, Martha Mack viewed bartending as a hobby. During summers while she was in college and graduate school, Mack would return to her native Bristol to tend bar and wait tables at her parents' eatery, Mary's Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek.
Mack, 30, has no formal education in mixology, but enjoys experimenting with new flavors and concoctions behind the bar.

BRISTOL — More than 200 Starksboro residents packed the auditorium at Mount Abraham Union High School on Saturday morning for a special meeting to reconsider the budget Robinson Elementary School voters approved in February.
After more than an hour of debate, those residents approved a spending plan that was larger than the figure originally warned for the Feb. 28 annual meeting, but less than the figure that had been approved at that February meeting.
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School board is asking Addison Northeast Supervisory Union voters to mark their calendars for June 9, when the board expects to hold a vote on a third proposed FY 2016 spending plan for the school.
"The process of developing that new budget will be worked on over the next few weeks," said board chair Dawn Griswold in a statement.
STARKSBORO — The meeting this Saturday morning to reconsider the spending plan for Starksboro's Robinson Elementary School will be held in the Mount Abraham Union High School auditorium in an effort to accommodate as many voters as possible.
"We didn't want to have the remotest possibility that we'd overwhelm the space at Robinson," said Starksboro School Board chair Louis duPont. "It's better to have a bigger room."
BRISTOL — Representatives from Casella Waste Systems on Monday met with the Bristol selectboard to discuss a possible deal through which the trash hauler would help the town fill and close its landfill.
Bristol officials reached out to the Rutland waste management company after efforts to get the state to help pay for landfill closing costs were unsuccessful.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that this is my final column for the Independent, as I will be joining the Free Press next week, where I will cover Burlington and city hall.
It was not an easy decision to make, but it was also too difficult to pass up and I look forward to the next step in my career. As I told my colleagues last week, I know I will likely never work in such a supportive environment with colleagues dedicated to helping me hone my skills. Nor one with Crock Pot Fridays.
BRISTOL — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Executive Committee at a special meeting Thursday pledged to address what it characterized as a "deteriorated environment" in the district's six schools.
"The committee recognizes the need for an immediate assessment of current conditions," the committee said in a prepared statement.
BRISTOL — Pocock Rocks, Bristol's annual summer music festival on Main Street, will not happen this year, but organizers said it will make a triumphant return in 2016.
The Bristol Downtown Community Partnership, the principal organizer of the event, decided not to hold Pocock this year because of a lack of resources.
"We didn't have enough hands to pull it off," said BDCP board member Darla Senecal, who also serves as Bristol's recreation director.
ADDISON COUNTY — Cost projections that are in line with expectations are rarely the subject of news stories, but in the case of Vermont Gas Systems, no news is, in fact, good news.
NEW HAVEN — Officials in New Haven, long frustrated by the proliferation of solar arrays in the rural Addison County town and the town's lack of control over regulating them, is taking a new approach in court.
Until now, municipalities have not held any official weight in hearings on proposed utility developments; the Public Service Board has sole discretion on such matters.

Record cold temperatures settled over the New Bern area in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but they didn�t seem to cause many problems.
Record cold temperatures settled over the New Bern area in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but they didn�t seem to cause many problems.
A wind chill advisory issued Monday by the National Weather Service had some people scrambling to stores to stock up on food while many others were at auto parts shops getting antifreeze for their vehicles and testing their car batteries. But the subzero temperatures didn�t quite make it here.
Hal Austin, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Newport, said the actual temperature in New Bern was 17 degrees overnight Tuesday, which was a record. At one point, the wind chill dipped to 1 degree.
�We said it was going to be in the mid-teens and we were pretty close,� Austin said. �We also forecasted wind chills from zero to 5 degrees below. It wasn�t far off.�
Austin said there were no reports of problems caused by the cold weather.
�There were a lot of school delays and closings, nothing other than that,� he said.
School systems in Craven, Pamlico, Jones and Carteret counties delayed opening two hours Tuesday morning because of the cold and planned to operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday as well.
Religious Community Services was preparing for additional homeless people at its shelter Monday after several people inquired if there was room for them over night and additional cots were brought in.
However, Mike McMillan, executive director of RCS, said Tuesday only two additional people spent the night at the shelter.
�It was very surprising,� McMillan said. �We were geared up and ready. We had the cots down ready for a larger influx of people than we normally get. But we did not have that occur.�
McMillan said some people came in for blankets and sleeping bags.
�I�m just very surprised people did not seek shelter,� he said. �I know there are a lot of homeless out there who need help.�
McMillan said he had no idea how someone could have coped through the night without shelter.
Although unprotected exposure to the cold wind chill had the potential to cause harm, Megan McGarvey, director of public relations at CarolinaEast Medical Center, said there were no reports of people seeking treatment at the hospital for frostbite, frost nip or hypothermia.
Wrecker services also reported a slow night and no problems from people needing their car batteries recharged.
Jim Stover, owner of J and S Wrecker Service, said he was surprised at the lack of calls from people needing their batteries charged.
�I figured there would be a lot of battery issues,� Stover said Tuesday morning. �But so far, I have not had one call.�
Joan Bramlett, co-owner of Tryon 66 Wrecker Service, said her business received a couple of calls Tuesday morning, but she did not know if they were related to the cold.
�Usually during cold weather, we have a lot of calls,� Bramlett said. �It was cold enough this morning but I think a lot of people just stayed in.�
Austin said wind chills will not be a factor Wednesday morning, but the cold will.
�It will be getting pretty cold, maybe colder than Tuesday,� he said. �The low in New Bern should be about 12 degrees. But there will be clear skies and calm winds.�
Wednesday�s temperatures should climb to 40 degree, and then 60 degrees is forecasted for Friday, Austin said.
�It�s going to warm up pretty quickly,� he said. �Most of the cold snaps we have had in the fall and winters don�t stay around long.�

Bring it on: Dancin' through the revolution
Soldiers of Jah Army
at Garden of Sheba
November 1
Soldiers of Jah Army are, by far, some of the best contemporary reggae songwriters I have encountered in a long time. Their debut album, Peace in a Time of War, is a well-produced collage of provocative material. The album addresses a wide range of political and social issues without coming across as too preachy or cheesy. Very impressive for a first time outing.
Soon after the album debuted, I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with the band in Harrisonburg. Aside from being great musicians, they radiate a positive energy very much in sync with the message they adhere to.
I caught wind they were scheduled to perform at Garden of Sheba's new Club Massive. After avoiding Halloween madness the day before, I was ready to get into some grooves.
Club Massive was supposed to be Sheba's extension into the old Live Arts' main space. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen issues, the space wasn't ready for the night's festivities. The performance still went on in normal music space.
Iron Lion opened for SOJA. A one-man reggae vocalist, he warmed up the room with mellow crooning over CD instrumentals. But it was soon obvious who the people came to see, because when it was time for SOJA to perform, the room morphed from a lounge to a dance hall within five minutes.
It wasn't long before the room was pulsing with positive vibrations and bass-heavy dub rhythms. They coasted through a few tunes from their album in road-veteran fashion and even made a few attempts at new tunes and while they didn't come across quite as well, they still managed to stay tight enough to keep me enthralled.
I could go on for days about why I like this band. However, there's one positive that can't be ignored, and that's the lead singer, Jacob Hemphill. His presence at the helm is undeniable. His voice teeters somewhere between Bob Marley and Maxi Priest. Whoever thought the revolution was going to be so soothing?
Club Massive is set to open next weekend with a DJ showcase of eclectic progressive and traditional dance music. If the vibe is anything like that of Garden of Sheba, we're in for a taste of good music and great energy every weekend.
Let's hope SOJA will be back soon to grace the stage.

As Obama Renews Economic Call, Partisan Stalemate Seems Certain
In the lead-up to the start of President Obama's series of speeches laying out his view of how to strengthen the economy, some of the Washington-based challenges facing that very economy were on full display.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently warned Congress, for instance, that the continued uncertainties it has created through its fiscal fights threaten the same economy it claims to want to boost.
But Bernanke should be getting used to being Washington's version of the mythical Cassandra. He is largely being ignored as partisan policymakers raised the specter of a government shutdown later this year as they staked out their positions for the fall's debt ceiling and budget battles.
When a reporter on Tuesday asked White House press secretary Jay Carney if the president was willing to abide a government shutdown if congressional Republicans insisted on lower spending levels for programs Obama considers priorities, Carney didn't exactly say no but sought to throw the matter back into the lap of Republicans.
"Look, I think that you would have to ask Republicans about what their plan is for investing in America's future," Carney said.
When Carney was asked if the president would agree to a deal to cut spending further in exchange for Congress agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, he said: "We will not negotiate over Congress' responsibility to pay the bills that Congress racked up. It is highly irresponsible to even flirt with that prospect ..."
The press secretary for House Speaker John Boehner, Brendan Buck, meanwhile, attempted to return the favor and lay any potential shutdown back at Obama's feet, suggesting the president's main goal was to impose further tax hikes even if it meant a government shutdown to accomplish it.
Writing of Carney, Buck said: "Twice asked. Twice refused to take the shutdown threat off the table. This scenario is a lose-lose for the American economy: either a tumultuous government shutdown or further job losses as a result of tax hikes. And it cuts away all credibility the White House has when it decries — as it regularly does — such political tactics."
That isn't the only shutdown threat floating about nowadays. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, among other Senate Republicans, is threatening to block any resolution to fund the government past the fall if it includes money for the Affordable Care Act.
The president's economic speeches in coming days are meant not only to restate his vision for the economy but to warn against the kind of high-stakes game of chicken that has become the standard way fiscal policy gets made in a Washington with divided control. The fact that come the fall we will be just a year away from the midterm elections promises to harden the stalemate even further.
So as Obama prepared to give his first in a series of economic speeches, at Knox College in Illinois on Wednesday, most signs pointed to a cranking up of the brinkmanship that led to the spending cuts of the government sequester that Bernanke has blamed for restraining the economy and general economic uncertainty.
One thing that seemed certain was that there was little Obama could say in his economic speeches that will change that dynamic.

Supernatural and sexual contents are the allegations of ALA to put The Twilight Saga in the list of "Challenged" books.
Stephanie Meyer's Best Seller took the 5º place on the new rank of "Challenged Books" this year. The criteria used by ALA include formal written complaints from any library or school asking for the material to excluded for content or decency.
"Vampire stories have been a target for years and Twilight saga are so popular that people are turning on the books their worries about vampires" says the director of association Office for Intellectual Freedom, Barbara Jones, according information from The associated Press.
By entering the rank, Twilight gets in the same level as The Catcher in the Rye, a novel by J. D. Salinger that despite being written in 1951 it is still on the list due to language and elevated sexual content.
Nevertheless, a title is missing on "The American Index". Harry Potter, which for years is being criticized for bringing up wizard's stories and adventures, is not showing up among the 10 more "challenged". One more evidence that the position for the teen authoring of the moment is not J.K. Rowling's any more. Well, life moves on and there's always the next in line, in this case, waiting to be on top.

As part of the Obama Administration's Sustainable Communities Partnership between HUD, the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation, two Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA) were released for Sustainable Communities grants. In a joint notice on June 21, funding was announced for two competitive grant programs: HUD's Community Challenge Planning grants and DOT's TIGER II planning grants. For the HUD grants, $40 million is available to communities to develop plans and strategies or revision of codes that promote livability and sustainability. Up to $35 million is available through the DOT program and will be available for the planning, preparation, or design of projects that would qualify for TIGER II discretionary grants.
The programs were announced together to allow applicants to apply to both programs with a single application if their project meets the goals laid out in each. The grants may be used for up to 80 percent of project costs (with an exception for rural areas seeking funding through the TIGER II grants). However, projects that offer higher local funding matches will be considered more competitive. Pre-Applications are due within 30 days and final applications are due August 23, 2010. Funding will be awarded by the end of September.
On June 24, HUD also released a notice of funding availability (NOFA) for the Sustainable Communities regional planning grant program. Through this program, $100 million is available for two funding categories: Regional Plans for Sustainable Development and Detailed Execution Plans and Programs. These grants do not require matching funds, but applicants must provide 20% of requested funding amount in leveraged resources such as cash or in-kind contributions.
Learn more about these grant opportunities.
The full NOFAs for each of these programs are available here.
