Week 11 was a short week but jam packed with bills.
Now on to Conference Committee Reports
Week 11 was a short week but jam packed with bills. The House and
Senate put in a few long days to vote on bills passed by the other
chamber, and if modified send them into the Conference Committee
process. Now Conference Committees (made up of the Chair, Vice Chair
and Ranking Minority Member from each chamber - six people) will be
meeting to hash out the differences between the House and Senate
versions. Once they come to an agreement, the bills must be presented
to each chamber for another vote to ensure the chambers agree with the conference committee changes. This is the time of year that many bills are combined into one report and bills that did not even make it through the process and voted on may be combined into conference reports. A bill that a Representative or Senator may have worked on all year could be attached to bills that they hate.
Change to Docket Fees - Another Bill with No Proponents
HB2338 is a bill that was introduced in the House Appropriations
Committee but no one stepped forward as a proponent or would testify in support of it. There seems to be many of such bills this year. HB2338
would take the money that is raised by docket fees for 14 special legal
funds and send it to the State General Fund. Representatives of
organizations such as the Family Crisis Center, The Kansas Coalition
against Sexual and Domestic Violence, and Safehomes testified in
opposition to the bill. The Kansas Judicial Branch along with the non-state agencies that deal mostly with victim support and child advocacy, testified that the bill jeopardizes the funding for the operation of their respective organizations. Our local CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and Alliance Against Family Violence, are examples of such agencies.
The House Appropriations Committee amended the bill to delay the
implementation of the bill until FY 2015, to allow agencies to submit
amended budgetary requests, because with passage of this bill they will be required to appear in front of the Legislature to request funding.
Representatives who have served in the Legislature for some time, argued against the bill saying that the current system was set up because these types of agencies were not getting the money they needed back when the state had money and this bill will just make it easier to sweep the fee funds for other purposes. This bill passed the House Yea 67 No 52, and is now in the Senate Ways and Means Committee which has not yet taken action.
More Tax Exemptions?
After the House passed its tax plan that would reduce individual
allowable income tax deductions by 24% per year (whether your
individual tax rate goes down or not) several new bills appeared this
week that create new exemptions to property and sales tax. One such
bill was SB72, that would exempt privately owned health clubs from
paying property tax. It was introduced on behalf of a health club owner
in Wichita that feels threatened by the YMCA and other non-profit
organizations that do not pay property taxes. The City of Leavenworth
and Leavenworth County commissioners have voiced their opposition to
this bill. You may have read about this in a recent Leavenworth Times
Another example was HB2379, that was heard by the House Taxation
Committee on Friday, March 22nd, and passed out "at the rail" on Monday, March 25th. "At the rail" means the committee met just outside the House chamber in the hallway and "worked" the bill to pass it out. I happened to be passing by in the hall just after their vote as the Committee Assistant was running amongst the gaggle of legislators to try and figure out who was in attendance and how they voted. She even asked me as I walked by, and I am not on that committee! In my opinion, that was not exactly the best method to discuss and vote on a bill.
HB2379 would declare federal gold and silver bullion as legal tender in
Kansas so it would be exempt from sales tax. The bill goes on to say
that no one has to accept it as legal tender, and who would? Gold and
silver bullion is sold as collector items or for investment by its
weight and the current value of gold and silver. I can not imagine
someone pulling out a piece of gold bullion at the local grocery store
to buy a quart of milk.
Boat Taxes
Remember the Constitutional Amendment we voted on last November that adjusted how a boat would be taxed in Kansas? Well, we finally debated HB2244, the follow up bill to that amendment. The bill was originally introduced to completely eliminate taxes on watercraft by 2016, but the House Taxation Committee amended the bill to lower the value assessments to 11.5% in 2014 and then 5% in 2015 and thereafter (so not eliminating these taxes entirely). It also added a stipulation that for every watercraft worth $1000 or less, the tax would be a flat rate of $12.
If you recall, this was all started by the Kansas Department of
Wildlife, Parks & Tourism in an attempt to entice Kansans to actually
register their watercraft in Kansas rather than in surrounding states
with much lower property tax on luxury items. That way, the revenues to KDWP&T would go up in registration fees. The idea was that the property taxes revenue would even out by more people paying less. The bill passed but may not be in its final form as one Representative pointed out that boats worth $1000 or less will pay the flat tax rate of $12, but a boat worth $1050 will pay taxes on 5% of its assessed value of $52.50, which would be $7.09. This does not seem to add up correctly; maybe the Senate will adjust it accordingly?
Veteran Bills
The House Veteran, Military Affairs & Homeland Security Committee will actually be part of the Conference Committee process this year. This is my third year as the Ranking Minority Member of our committee and this will be my first time on a Conference Committee. The Senate does not have its own Veterans Committee, so our bills are usually assigned to other committees to work.
This week we will be meeting in conference with the Senate on HB2078 and SB27. A short update: SB27 had to do with the National Guard
scholarship program for veterans of combat operations since 9-11.
HB2078 had to do with licensing agencies accepting military experience
and training in consideration of civilian licensure for nurses and EMS;
the Senate combined it with HB2077 which was almost the same bill but includes all licenses in the state.
The Senate also voted on HB2212 and made no amendments, so it is on its way to the Governor's desk for signature. HB2212 is the very important bill to update how the Veteran Service Organizations can make their required matching payments for the VCAP grant program. The House passed SB136, that would allow someone to place the designation of VETERAN on their drivers license. The House amended SB136 to say VETERAN would be on the front of the license. Hopefully, the Senate will concur so it will head to the Governor's desk this week as well.
One military bill that the Veteran, Military Affairs & Homeland Security
Committee will not be on the conference committee is HB2109, which
worries me. This is the bill to extend the second count of military
pupils in K-12 education. It was amended by the Senate to correct some technical language, but the House Education Budget Committee decided to non-concur and asked for a conference committee instead of concurring with the change and sending it to the Governor for signature. The conference committee is made up of Senate Education and House Education Budget Committees. Often, very important bills such as this, are used as vehicles for other bills that may not be too popular. Two of the House members of the conference committee assure me that the bill is safe and will be passed, but this is the time of conference committee reports.......

Serves: 6
Creamy Sausage and Tomato Pasta Recipe
25 minPrep Time
25 minTotal Time
- 4-5 Italian sausages (about 1 pound) found in the fresh meat department (I used turkey Italian sausage)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (16 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 12 ounces penne pasta (get a 16 ounce box and use 3/4 of it)
- grated Parmesan for topping
- Cook the pasta in salted water al dente, according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, brown the sausages and cut them into slices (I actually removed the casings and then browned and crumbled the sausages like you would ground beef).
- Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and saute for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the entire can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce and heat through.
- Pour in the half-and-half and heat through. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer it until it is the consistency you want.
- Add the basil and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Finally, mix the sausage sauce with the pasta and serve. Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic bread and side salad.

The USS Enterprise (CV-06) (also known as the Big E, Lucky E, Galloping Ghost, and Grey Ghost) is the second ship of the Yorktown-class carriers and the most decorated ship of WW2 having participated in twenty major battles. The Enterprise is also one of only three pre-WW2 USN aircraft carriers to survive the war (the others were USS Saratoga (CV-03) and USS Ranger (CV-04)).
Launch and Commissioining
World War II
Easily qualifying for the title of the most decorated ship ever to serve in the United States Navy. This ship was an Yorktown-class aircraft carrier and was laid down on July 16, 1934. The ship had a capacity for carrying 90 combat aircraft including during its career, SBD-2 Dauntlesses, F4F-3 Wildcats, TBD Devastators, TBF-1 Avengers, F6F-3 Hellcats, F4U-2(N) Corsairs, SB2C Helldivers, TBM-3D Avengers(night combat bombers), and F6F-5(N) Hellcats(night combat fighters). The ship was a participant in nearly every naval engagement in the Pacific Theater of WWII. From October 26, 1942 to May 1, 1943 she served as the only operational aircraft carrier serving in the Pacific fighting the Japanese navy constantly during this period. After this she was massively refitted and returned to service on November 6, 1943. She served in combat operations until battle damage from a kamikaze hit on her forward elevator took her out of action on May 16, 1945.
The ship has received 20 Battle Stars, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Navy Unit Commendation, the British Admiralty Pennant(Only non Royal Navy Ship with this honor), the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and the Philippine Liberation Medal.
The ship was deactivated on January 17, 1946 at the New York Naval Shipyard and decommissioned on February 17, 1947. On July 1, 1958, the Enterprise was sold to the Lipsett Corporation from scrapping and by May 1960, the scrapping was complete. The steel was sold to General Electric.

Do you find it hard to "act" on your faith? You don't have a vacation day to attend the annual "Right to Life" Rally in Topeka each January. Your confidence in writing a letter to the editor just isn't there. Confronting a friend on the issue just isn't in your comfort zone.
Rather than torment yourself on whether these are valid reasons or invalid excuses, St. Mary's Catholic Church in Newton encourages people to take another look. They are sharing creative ways to support the "Right to Life" movement locally.
• When you clip coupons, cut the traditional "baby" coupons, i.e., diapers, wipes, etc., and donate them to the Heartland Pregnancy Center.
• Have leftover garage sale items that could be used by pregnant women, young mothers, infants or children? Take them to HPC.
• Going garage sale shopping? Find a perfect baby item or maternity outfit but you don't "need" one? Buy it anyway and donate the good-quality item to HPC.
• Loose change collection? When you fill that piggy bank, take it to HPC.
• Does a friend/family member have baby items, such as cribs or bibs, they no longer need? Encourage them to donate those items to the HPC.
• Attending a baby shower? Suggest the new mom to donate her "duplicates" to the HPC.
• Christmas shopping? Buy the "great deal" and donate it to the HPC.
• Know someone who has received items from HPC? Urge them to re-donate the same items so they can "pay it forward."
• Feeling blue? "Medicate" your soul with a stewardship purchase of a baby item and donate it to the HPC.
The Heartland Pregnancy Care Center is at 1027 Washington Road, Suite D, Newton, KS 67114. For more information, visit www.heartlandpcc.com or call 283-7333.

The sale of land to the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) for the North Island Hospitals Project has been finalized, North Island College confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
North Island College received approval Feb. 15 from the Ministry of Advanced Education Innovation and Technology (AEIT), as required under the College and Institute Act, for the board of governors.
NIC's president, Dr. Jan Lindsay, stated "During all of the discussions and negotiations that took place in relation to this project, the college maintained its position that the sale of land to VIHA must provide enhanced opportunity for future students living in the college region and help the college move forward in line with its vision of being a premier destination and community college that inspires and prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world."
In speaking about the importance of the project for the future development of North Island College, Dr. Lindsay announced, "In addition to the approximately $4 million the college will receive for the sale of the almost 11.2 acres, North Island College negotiated a $2.75-million program development agreement. Combined, these funds will be available to the college to use for capital projects and the development of health technology programs that have the potential to make North Island College a provincial leader in rural and remote health care."
The recently released Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC) Strategic Plan (www.asttbc.org/docs/2013launch.pdf) reports there are almost 150,000 people employed in technology occupations in B.C. and the fastest-growing technology occupation category for the period 2010 to 2020 is predicted to be medical technologists and technicians.
This projected 27-per-cent increase translates to an estimated total increase of 3,399 jobs in medical technologist and technician positions by 2020. In addition to the projected growth in health related technology positions, the BC Labour Market Report: 2010-2020 projects that one million job openings are expected in B.C. by 2020 and the health occupation group, which includes Nurses, Practical Nurses, Home Care and Activity Support Assistants, will have the largest percentage increase in growth.
The convergence of projected demand for medical technologists and technicians and other health care professionals, along with the growing retirement population in many Vancouver Island communities and the synergies of a college/hospital co-location, will offer tremendous opportunity for North Island College to develop leading edge health care and health technology programs.
Now that the sale is final, VIHA has sole responsibility for the property. Under the sales/purchase agreement, VIHA will shortly begin construction of a buffer between the two properties.
Having the buffer constructed three years in advance of the hospital being completed will protect the integrity of the college property and will allow the over 700 trees, shrubs and plants proposed for inclusion in the buffer considerable time to grow and mature.
In addition to the new trees, shrubs and plants, the plans for the buffer include retention of a number of the existing trees and a soil berm that will be at or above average head height so it will block visual sight lines between the college and the hospital for people walking on campus next to the berm.
This berm will also block the lights of cars arriving at the hospital from shining into buildings on the college campus and the transmission of surface noise between the college and the hospital.
For further information on the sale, visit www.nic.bc.ca.

9/11 Call
This story appears in the February 2002 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
The smell of death is still in the air. "When the wind blows our way," says Stephen Goldstein, CEO of Alacra Inc., "it's a constant reminder of what happened."
Nobody needs to be told, of course, what happened. What happened is the reason six employees from Lehman Brothers are, half a year later, working out of the offices of Alacra, which provides financial information to institutions like investment banks. What happened still seems impossible.
Alacra is located six blocks from Ground Zero. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, the 5-year-old company was forced to leave its offices-but only for a week. With many of his nearby clients not so fortunate, Goldstein, 43, figured he could squeeze 25 extra people into the offices of his 65-employee company. He and some of his staff were offering their clients free office space even before they were allowed back in their own building.
By the time Alacra reached its clients-difficult, because they no longer had phone numbers-everyone had made other arrangements, save some of Lehman Brothers' staff, who gladly accepted Goldstein's offer. "We introduced them to everybody," says Goldstein, "and showed them where the coffee is, and tried to make them feel like they were working with us."
That generosity may seem surprising, but there's a tradition of American entrepreneurs who, to paraphrase JFK, have asked not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country. During World War I, dozens of entrepreneurs and high-profile executives on the home front became known as the "dollar-a-year men" as they went to work for the United States for next to nothing.
After September 11, the tradition continued. From giants like Starbucks-which at last count had donated more than 47,000 gallons of coffee to New York City centers assisting victims-to startups like JenBen Communications LLC, a Manhattan toy-marketing firm. JenBen's CEO, Jennifer Newman, 28, closed her four-employee company for two weeks so she could volunteer her time at a shelter, helping victims to everything from saline to underwear.
Here's a handful of other entrepreneurs who have shown us the true meaning of "hero."
The Right Lighting
For most of September 11, Kevin Garrity watched the horror unfold on TV from Garrity Industries, the Madison, Connecticut, business his family started in 1967. Eventually, he realized he could aid in the efforts to find victims in the rubble: Garrity Industries manufactures flashlights.
It was 5 p.m., and most of his employees had left for the day to be with their families. Garrity, 49, and a friend, Jim Sullivan, loaded a truck with 8,000 flashlights with an assist from CFO Arthur G. Aery and Garrity's brother, vice president Paul Garrity. As dusk settled across the eastern seaboard, Garrity and Sullivan sped off with a convoy of local fire trucks. But minutes later, the local firefighters were told they weren't needed at Ground Zero. "What now?" Sullivan asked. "We keep going," said Garrity, figuring that they would get in somehow.
They did. When they passed more fire engines, Sullivan held up a crudely made sign with his cell phone number. The firemen called, and Garrity explained their mission and received permission to join their group. Long before reaching the city limits, Garrity could see an ominous plume of billowing black smoke.
Ground Zero looked like hell, but it didn't scare Garrity away. He came back with more friends and flashlights the next night, and the next. At the end of three days, Garrity's group had passed out 24,000 flashlights to rescuers, at a cost of $34,000 to the company. Garrity Industries sent letters to clients, letting them know their shipments would be delayed and why. Nobody complained.
"My father has always impressed upon us-if we can help, we help. And we're in a business-flashlights-that can help a lot of people," says Garrity, whose company also gave to the Desert Storm cause. "Life is not just taking; it's giving back."
True B2B
It's estimated that 14,000 businesses were displaced by the terrorism attacks; that includes 9,000 off-site businesses as far away as New Jersey and Connecticut. "There were taxi and limousine services that had only one client: The World Trade Center," says Emanuel Martinez, 45, managing partner of New York City investment firm GreenHills Ventures LLC.
Martinez runs the Downtown Cooperative Project, an organization that offers services, products and support to small and midsized businesses affected by the attacks. He's found more than 40 companies to donate their time, energy and funds to help keep other businesses afloat.
Martinez now works 70-hour weeks between GreenHills Ventures and the DCP. Why is he toiling to tirelessly? He just thinks it's the right thing to do. "Many of our largest companies were born during the Depression," he notes, "and they're still here. We have to help our brothers and sisters unite. And this isn't just for us. It's been said that New York won't be able to truly recover from this for another 10 years, so this affects our children, and if we could shorten this to five, that would really help the city's mind-set."
Nursing the Wounds and Aiding the Search
Stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike, Amer Ghalayini, 34, watched the second plane hurtle into the World Trade Center. Terrified drivers abandoned their cars and wandered about, not sure what to do next.
Born and raised in Kuwait, Ghalayini came to the United States 17 years ago as a student. Now the franchise owner of three Subway restaurants, Ghalayini was returning from a trip to Canada with his 5-year-old son, Zachary. He was dumbfounded and terrified. "I was shaking-like everyone else," says Ghalayini, who just wanted to go home. To Washington, DC. With the Pentagon on fire, home was not the safe haven he'd hoped for.
Ghalayini eventually got past his shock and realized he could contribute. One of his Subways is on G Street, a few miles from the Pentagon. Another restaurant is just across from a fire station. Ghalayini adopted a policy, splitting costs with Subway's corporate headquarters: "Unlimited free food for the rescue workers," he told his staff, who didn't get the concept at first.
"What do we do if somebody wants two sandwiches?" one of his employees asked.
"Then give it to them!" instructed Ghalayini. "No questions asked."
Over three days, the two stores gave away about 2,000 sandwiches. Ghalayini refused all offers to pay for the food. "I have never lived through anything like this. Even in Kuwait, I have never experienced anything like this," says Ghalayini. "I was so emotional during that week." He found it therapeutic to give away sandwiches to everyone from FEMA workers to the Secret Service. "If I couldn't have given something back, I don't know what I would have done."
Aiding the Search
During that first week, Mike Komondy made his way through the ash-laden air, searching for anybody alive. The 42-year-old franchisee of four Dunkin' Donuts stores in New Jersey is also a volunteer fireman and an EMT search and rescue specialist. He handed the reins of his businesses-which collectively bring in $2 million a year and have 53 employees-to his general manager on September 12 and spent the next 36 straight hours searching for bodies among the rubble. He will always remember the silence, broken by cell phones and beepers strewn about the towering heap of debris as anxious friends and family called the dead, hoping for a miracle. Says Komondy, "I won't forget it for the rest of my life."
A Calming Presence
Trudi Bresner, 49, owns New York City-based T.BresnerAssociates Inc., a marketing and communications company with seven employees and $2 million in annual sales. After the attacks, "we kept trying to figure out a way that we could help," she says.
So when she got a call two weeks later from a client who needed a favor, she jumped at the chance to give media training to the chief counseling officer and chief doctor for the Fire Department of New York City.
The two officials were going to appear on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS, and they wanted training in how to handle it. Understandably, both men were emotionally on edge from two weeks of counseling the families of 345 firefighters who died in the twin towers. They were going to talk about the services available for firefighters and were nervous that either they wouldn't get out their message, or they might lose their composure on the air. "Because they're in a position of leadership, where do they turn for help?" asks Bresner, explaining her role: "This is support for the support." Bresner spent four hours with the men, letting them vent their feelings and then role-playing answers they might have to give on the show.
Since then, her company has written and designed brochures, e-mails and pamphlets sent to firefighters' families. Again, for free. "We're doing this on a permanent basis," says Bresner, who apparently didn't have to think hard before donating her company's services.
"Entrepreneurs are dependent on people to help them," says Bresner. "To give back is very important."
Running, But Not Away
Shawn Parr raised almost $50,000 for the victims of the attacks-and that was just the next day. The 36-year-old CEO of Bulldog Drummond, a public relations firm in San Diego, did it by promising $15,000 to the New York City victims and e-mailing clients and vendors, asking them to add money to the pot.
Parr grew up in London, a city that's no stranger to terrorism, but September 11 has made him more familiar than ever with terror attacks. "I was due to fly to New York City on September 11, at 8 a.m.," he says. "And box cutters were found on that plane."
A week after the attacks, Parr told his staff, "It's typical to do something immediately after the attacks, and then do nothing." That inspired his production manager to spearhead a 5K run/walk, which Bulldog Drummond held November 11, raising $25,000 for World Trade Center relief funds.
"I'm a firm believer that in the face of adversity, you must never give up, you must never give in, and the only thing I could do was put my hands in my pockets and dig deep," says Parr. "We live in a cynical society, I believe. We watch bad news on TV, roll our eyes, and then we click over and watch Friends. Well, this was different."

San Francisco, I am a former Californian and a long suffering, recovering "…Oh my goodness, thankfully we have a woman in charge as Speaker of the House of Representatives and third in line…" Independent.
Hey… San Francisco, do your country proud and vote this witch out, we don't need no stinking liars aka professional politicians. She is the enabler in relief. Think about it… how long has she been Speaker of the House? Are you better off now or before the Democrats were in charge of the Congress? Vote for what's right for all, not just for Pelosi and her investments. Vote for John Dennis! He is America's Conscience!
John Dennis Radio Ad | Hold Pelosi Accountable
JohnDennis2010 | October 06, 2010
The people of San Francisco understand that Washington's elite establishment and Congress have failed us. I'm an independent business man, a husband, and a father… Not a professional politician or party insider. I believe in individual rights, that Washington has too much power over our lives, and I believe in ending both wars.
Washington and Nancy Pelosi will never spend our economy back into health. They are creating mounds of debt and the wars go on and on. Together, we can launch a political earthquake that will shake the foundations of Washington and help put us on the right course.

Tallahassee, FL -- May 23, 2012 --
Florida now has the nation's third-largest prison system...With more than 100,000 inmates.
That's roughly double the size it was 25 years ago, before tough-on-crime lawmakers passed a mandate that prisoners serve at least 85 percent of their sentence.
Now, legislators are re-thinking that mandate, but they're having a tough time overcoming opposition from Governor Scott.
For the Governor, it's a matter of principle. In his mind, convicted criminals owe a debt to society, and the only way to make it up is by doing all of their time. But, lawmakers complain... The Governor is missing the point.
For thousands of Floridians, a life of drug abuse... has turned in to a life behind bars. Here in florida, convicts have to serve 85 percent of their sentence. Lawmakers like Democratic Representative Alan Williams are intent on changing that.
Williams said, "Florida has to be a state that shows compassion, especially for those individuals who have not committed a crime against another individual - they just have an issue, especially in a lot of cases dealing with drugs, that we have to try and figure out, 'how can we rehabilitate them?"
Governor Scott's already vetoed a 2012 bill that would've allowed for early release. Non-violent drug offenders who've served at least half their sentence could have been transferred to a drug treatment program.
Scott is concerned letting convicts out early might hurt public safety.
And critics point out...The program he killed could only have handled around 300 inmates.
Frank Messersmith of the Florida Sheriff's Association says, "You're not focusing enough on doing the things to stop the recidivism based on drug abuse. You need to create the programs. If only 20 percent of all the prisoners that are eligible can find this treatment, it does no good to have the program."
Early release advocates aren't giving up. They plan to be back with a new bill in 2013, along with a new focus on winning over Governor Scott.
Right now, Florida taxpayers spend well over two billion dollars a year on the prison system. The bill's backers say letting non-violent offenders out early could shave hundreds of millions off that price tag, depending how broad the effort is.
The early released bill passed the state senate unanimously. Just four members of the Republican-controlled state house voted 'no'.

In the manpower crisis following the crisis in Dalmatia in 6AD-9AD, and Teutoberger Wald in 9AD, Augustus raised perhaps 30-40 independent cohorts that didn't form part of the legions. Some of these were entitled Coh. Ingenuorum Civium Romanum (free-born Roman citizens) or Coh. Italica Voluntariorum C.R. (Italian Roman citizen volunteers). According to Cheeseman, the former were recruited from Roman citizens, and the latter were recruited from freedmen, who were not eligible to serve in the legions. These retained a higher status than auxiliary units, being paid a donative equivalent to that of legionaries, in Augustus' Will.
Over time, it is thought that recruitment standards were relaxed and non-citizens were recruited (slaves or foreigners), who received citizenship after twenty five years service, as if auxiliaries. Paradoxically auxiliary units that performed exceptionally well on campaign, were granted Roman Citizenship, which is why many have C.R. after their unit name.
I don't believe that anything specific is known about how C. R. troops were equipped, relative to other Roman forces. From Instinct, I've chosen to give this particular unit, which was based in lower Germany, the same red tunics I give most of my legionaries (rather than the off white most of my auxiliaries get), and a legionary shield design that LBMS conveniently makes to fit an oval shield. I also gave them a legionary signum.
Most of the miniatures are Black Tree, except for the Centurion who is the Warlord mini that came with Hail Caesar, and two Foundry signifiers and a cornicen. I did a little light conversion work including a couple of head swaps. I particularly pleased with the way that the cavalry contingent came out, as all were badly painted, and some horses broken at the ankles, when I got them. Unfortunately the photos aren't the best; they don't bring out the rich reds of the shields. You'll have to come to Partizan to see them.
I've been basing a couple of regular auxiliary cohorts in parallel with these, of which more, anon.

The new homecoming royalty have been named at Butterfield-Odin School.
The new homecoming royalty have been named at Butterfield-Odin School.
Out of the nine candidates for king and queen, Austin Friedrich and Monica Munning were selected as royalty for Butterfield-Odin.
The new king and queen will represent the school at this week's homecoming football game as the Saints celebrate homecoming week.
The homecoming coronation was a fun-filled event, providing entertainment for all students K-12 at Butterfield-Odin as well as many community members.
The new music instructor, Caley Danielson led the choir in their first performance of the year before the coronation took place.
Student-athletes were introduced by Athletic Director Les Zellmann and a speech was given by Steve Fligge, the assistant coach of the cross country team, who urged students and community members to join the cross country team at this week's home event.
After a few games thrown by the student council, the names of the king and queen were revealed with only a small amount of teasing the audience – holding crowns over all of the candidates heads.
Band Director David Stordalen then led the school in the singing of the school song.
The students will celebrate homecoming with a dance Friday night following the football game.

How much country can you cram into a tract home in Costa Mesa? As Vicki Sakioka will tell you, there is always room for more. Country accents occupy her garden and courtyard, and they fill every niche of her charming house.
With country, it's the little things that make the whole. The Dutch doors that open to the outside, the ripe blackberries spilling along the guesthouse in the garden, the plump furniture in the living room, the layers of chintz and mismatched fabrics in soft hues that make every corner a bit of eye candy.
Sakioka talked to us about her home.
Q. How long have you been collecting?
A. Probably 15 to 20 years, but really intensively for 15 years. Of course, I've collected all my life.
Q. Have you always been attracted to country styles?
A. I was born in Tennessee. My grandmother had all her old antiques there. But I grew up in a '50s modern house in California, and was always in my element at her house.
Sleeping in her junk-filled attic was my favorite thing to do.
Q. Do you have a current obsession?
A. I love the vintage Hawaiiana, the old statues of Hawaiian girls. They're very difficult to find.
Q. Do you refrain from certain items?
A. When I got divorced 15 years ago, I was free to create my own environment. So I would buy what appealed to me and then figure out later what to do with it.
I have so much stuff now that something needs to be really special to me.
Q. How do keep the color palette soft?
A. I'm not crazy about orange or apricot. I have splashes of red in things, but nothing dominates. I use purple in the yard but not in the house. And I like softer brown-muted colors.
Q. Your rooms are light-filled. Where does the light come from?
A. All of my walls are an antiqued cream color. Every window is a bay to bring the light in. I have skylights in the living room. Those made a huge difference.
Plus, I have a ridiculous amount of mirrors, and that helps reflect light.
Q. Have you ever thought about opening a shop?
A. I actually had one 38 years ago, but sold it after a year. I would love to have another one.
Q. How did the Hawaiiana happen?
A. I lived in Hawaii in my 20s, so I've always loved it. My husband's family is from there.
Q. Do you swap goods with girlfriends?
A. I have a really good friend whose house is really similar to mine. We've always traded items back and forth.
Q. What are your tips for making display collections work?
A. I try to make little vignettes with my items. I group things in threes and fives. But it's more when I stand back, and it's pleasing to my eye, it's done.
Q. Tell us about your chandeliers.
A. I've probably got about 20 chandeliers. I'm not using them all, but every room in my house has one.
Q. How did the guest cottage in the back yard happen?
A. It was an old shed that my husband put up. It looked horrible in the beginning. I really worked on that after the divorce because when I stand at my kitchen sink, it's what I see.
Q. Any trends you are glad to see gone?
A. I thought sponge painting was the most horrible thing I've ever seen. The country border wallpapers – cheesy country, I call it – glad it's gone.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – Stingy defense coupled with solid ball control powered Babson College to a 20-3 victory over MIT in a NEWMAC women's lacrosse game on Tuesday night. For the second game in a row senior Laura Wacker (Brooklyn, N.Y.) led the Engineers' attack as she produced a pair of goals.
MIT freshman Kira Schott (New Canaan, Conn.) connected on a feed from sophomore Emma Kane (Garden City, N.Y.) in addition to recording three draw controls. Senior Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) also posted three draw controls while freshman Nadia Wallace (Rochester, N.Y.) added two of her own. Senior Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) registered two caused turnovers as freshman Paige Kennedy (Eastchester, N.Y.) totaled four saves.
Babson opened the game with three straight goals but MIT got on the board courtesy of a solo effort by Wacker at the 22:45 mark. In the next minute the Beavers found the back of the net; however, an unassisted goal from Schott kept the Engineers within striking distance at 4-2.
The hosts generated back-to-back goals to gain some breathing room but MIT countered with Wacker's strike that was set up by Kane with 12:40 on the clock. Babson responded with five straight goals to enter halftime with an 11-3 advantage. In the second stanza, the Beavers maintained possession for most of the frame as they scored six of their nine goals shortly after winning the draw, committed only two turnovers, and limited the Engineers to one shot.
Next up for MIT (4-8, 1-3 NEWMAC) will be a home game against Drew University on Saturday, April 13.

Brother Dies In Barnegat Bay Jet Ski Collision
A brother is dead after a jet ski collision in Barnegat Bay.
24-year-old Matthew Barther of Long Valley collided with his brother Patrick Barther, 20, near the Pier One Motel and the Mathis Bridge in Toms River around 7:45 p.m. Sunday nigh.
Both men were taken by boat to the Pier One's marina and taken to Community Medical Center. Matthew was pronounced dead at the hospital while Patrick was treated for minor injuries.
A cause of death for Matthew Barther has not been determined.
One of the jet skis drifted several miles to the north and was spotted in the water near Rochester Drive in Brick prompting police to begin a search for the rider. After an hour long search with a helicopter police were able to connect the jet ski to the earlier Toms River incident.

Winemakers have to deal with a variety of natural troubles, such as lack of rainfall, unseasonable wet or cold, and crop pests and maladies. Two of the deadliest of these are phylloxera and Pierce's disease, and developing vines that are resistant is one of the top priorities of winemaking programs such as the University of California at Davis. But, here in Texas, one natural grape variety has built up resistence to both phylloxera and Pierce's: The very dark black Spanish grape also known as Lenoir (literally, French for "The Black"). Reports of Lenoir date back to the mid-1800's where it was discovered in Texas, then introduced to France. My wining partner and I sampled Chisholm Trail's Lone Wolf Lenoir during a tasting at their facility outside Fredericksburg, Texas.
In the tasting glass, Lone Wolf Lenoir is midnight violet in color, almost black. The nose sports rich plum and boysenberry. Very chewy on the palate, with blackberry and baking spices, and a raspberry, currant, and vanilla finish. Pairing Lone Wolf Lenoir with trail meats such as steaks, barbecue and game would be natural, as this tipple could stand up to any beef or red meat dish.
Hopefully, more Texas vineyards besides Chisholm Trail and Dry Comal Creek will see the light and begin growing this dark varietal. You see, while Lone Wolf Lenoir might be disease-resistent, true red wine lovers will be unable to resist its shadowy charms.

The following information provides a summary of the laws, rules and procedures for aircraft registration as required by law. Its purpose is to increase the general understanding of aircraft registration requirements in Arizona and to facilitate the registration process for individual owners. In addition to state aircraft registration requirements, the federal government administers a national aircraft registry program through the Federal Aviation Administration. A brief description of the federal program is also included below.
It is the responsibility of the aircraft owner to complete an Application for Aircraft Registration and to register the aircraft with the Motor Vehicle Division Aircraft Registration Unit if the aircraft is based in Arizona. Registration must be accomplished within 60 days after an aircraft is brought into the state and must be renewed annually by the last day of February.
Easy, fast and secure, renewing your aircraft registration is now just a click away! Go to the aircraft registration renewal website and follow the prompts.
For online renewals, pay by credit card or checking account, and receive your renewal registration and decal in the mail.
NOTE: At this time, aircraft exemptions cannot be filed electronically.
Owners of currently registered aircraft will receive a renewal billing in late December, which allows those owners who wish to pay before the end of the calendar year to do so. It is important to notify the Motor Vehicle Division Aircraft Registration Unit of address changes in writing so that your renewal registration certificate will be correctly addressed.
Payment by check or money order of the tax and registration fee must be received or postmarked by the last day of February. On or after March 1, a $25 penalty fee will be added with an additional $5 penalty for each subsequent month of delinquency.
It is the responsibility of the owner to notify the Motor Vehicle Division Aircraft Registration Unit in writing
For additional information concerning your specific aircraft registration, call us at 602.712.6995.

South Africa: Zuma Warns Dissidents in Closing Address
Photo: Moeketsi Mogotsi/WhatsUpANC
Bloemfontein — ANC President Jacob Zuma vowed on Thursday to root out factionalism and to "deal" with dissidents and members challenging the ruling party in court.
"Through political education and cadre development as well as decisive action against ill-discipline, we will be able to root out all the tendencies that we have identified over the years," he said in his closing address to the African National Congress' 53rd national elective conference in Mangaung in the Free State.
"These include factionalism, the sowing of disunity and confusion within the movement, the use of money to buy members, positions or influence in the organisation, the hurling of insults or even worse, the attacks on members of the ANC."
Zuma announced that Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, who failed in his bid to challenge the presidency at the conference, would head up a political education programme for the party.
"We must move away from saying how important political education is, to actually implementing the decisions…
"We will be able to deal with the comrades who disrupt ANC meetings and those who want the ANC to be now run on technicalities and through the courts."
He said he discussed the political education programme with the newly elected deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, and Motlanthe, the former deputy president of the party.
"We are pleased to announce that former deputy president Motlanthe will lead this crucial ANC political education programme. We thank the former deputy president," said Zuma, to applause from delegates.
He said the ANC would be building "cadres who respect actions taken by the movement to enforce discipline against others, who know the implications of working with members who have been expelled from the organisation, assisting them to undermine the organisation.
"There must be consequences for such ANC members," said Zuma.
Zuma referred back to the Polokwane conference when the ANC assumed that all members were in agreement with the outcome and that the party members would work for unity.
He said the process of collectively understanding the democratic principles and internal democracy that prevailed within the movement was not monitored.
"We must not repeat that mistake."
Zuma said unity within the ANC would not happen automatically and its members would have to work hard for it.
Zuma reminded delegates ANC members had a right to be nominated for any position in the movement and to accept or decline nominations.
"Therefore, no member or leader of the ANC should be ostracised for exercising their democratic rights as members," said Zuma.
Turning to the Leagues of the ANC, Zuma said they should implement the work and resolutions of the Mangaung conference, the final version of which was yet to be released.
"There are other very important outstanding organisational issues for us to look at in the new year.
"For example the conference has in its wisdom, taken a decision that the incoming NEC must discuss the matter of the ANC Youth League. We appreciate that decision and the spirit in which it was taken."
He congratulated the newly elected leadership of the ANC and thanked the outgoing leaders.
He also wished former president Nelson Mandela well, saying he was in good care as he spent a 13th day in hospital.
Zuma broke into song as he ended his closing address.
"It's a long walk, Mandela said to his followers. We will meet on freedom day," he sang.
Delegates in the marquee joined in as they waved African National Congress flags and blew whistles and danced.
They cheered as Zuma repeated the song, which he also sang when he opened the conference on Sunday.

Delta growers will get the latest information on rice and wheat marketing prospects at the 2005 Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held March 4-5 at Memphis.
The show, sponsored by the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, with Delta Farm Press as co-sponsor, will be held at the Cook Convention Center in downtown Memphis.
J. Michael Hanthorn, vice president, Informa Economics at Memphis, is coordinator of crops economic analysis for the Sparks Companies at Memphis and market analyst for wheat and rice.
"We're pleased to have Michael give his insight into what may lie ahead for these key Mid-South crops," says Tim Price, show manager, and executive vice president of the ginner association.
Prior to joining Sparks, Hanthorn spent eight years with USDA's Economic Research Service in Washington, with responsibilities including the Situation and Outlook Report coordination for food grains, cross-commodity analyses, and farm machinery, as well as farm program policy options.
He will speak Friday morning, March 4, at the 8:30 a.m. Ag Update session in the convention center lobby auditorium.
The show, which attracts 20,000 people, is shaping up to be another sellout for the 200,000 square foot convention center and is expected to be the largest in the event's history.
More than 450 exhibits are expected, Price says, running the gamut from the latest equipment, to seed, chemicals, and services. Exhibitors are from 40-plus states and two foreign countries.
"The show has become an early spring tradition for Mid-South farmers, ginners, and others involved in agriculture," he says. "In addition to many exhibitors who are with us year-in and year-out, we have many who will be here for the first time, bringing a new array of products. And a lot of our every-year exhibitors are increasing their space, so it's going to be a very diverse show spanning all the major Mid-South crops.
"While we're proud of the cotton and ginning heritage of the show, it has evolved over the years into a stage for exhibitors representing all of our crops. We believe it is the premier indoor farm show in the South."
Ag Update sessions
Here's the complete lineup for the informational sessions:
Friday, March 4 — Woods Eastland, president and chief executive officer of Staplcotn, the Greenwood, Miss., cotton marketing cooperative, and the 2005 chairman of the National Cotton Council, will discuss cotton sector issues.
J. Michael Hathorne, vice president and coordinator of economic analysis for Informa Economics, Memphis, will discuss the outlook for rice and wheat.
William Dunavant, chief executive officer of Dunavant Enterprises, will provide his annual cotton market outlook.
Saturday, March 5 — William Hawks, USDA undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs, will discuss USDA programs and issues.
Richard Brock, nationally-known grains marketing analyst and publisher of the Brock Report, will discuss the outlook for soybeans and corn.
Joe Jobe, executive director of the National Biodiesel Board, will discuss the outlook for bio-based fuels
Soybean rust seminar
A special seminar on Asian soybean rust disease will be conducted by Monte Miles, USDA Agricultural Research plant physiologist at the University of Illinois, the nation's leading authority on the subject.
He will lead a reaction panel, which will have participants ranging from growers and input providers through end users."
Scheduled for Saturday, March 5, at 1 p.m., it will be co-sponsored by a number of Mid-South organizations, including the Agricultural Council of Arkansas, the Delta Council, state soybean associations, state soybean promotion boards, and others.
"Memphis is a fun place for the entire family to spend a weekend," Price says. "I hope everyone will plan to come and be a part of this year's big show."

After a disappointing close to the regular season, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota will return for another run at the Heisman Trophy, the Rose Bowl and, perhaps, the national championship.
Once the leading contender for the 2013 Heisman Trophy before injuries limited his effectiveness, Mariota has decided to return to Oregon for his junior season, the university announced Tuesday.
As a third-year sophomore — he redshirted in 2011, his first season on campus — Mariota is eligible for the NFL draft. Scouts Inc. rated Mariota the No. 3 overall player available with a 96 grade, and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. rated him the No. 5 overall player available.
PROFILE: Mariota, steady and spectacular
In deciding to return to Eugene, Mariota bolsters the Ducks' chances of reclaiming the Pac-12 championship after a frustrating second half to 2013. Oregon went 2-2 in November, dropping from No. 2 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll to the outer fringes of the Bowl Championship Series race.
"It is an honor to be a student at the University of Oregon and to have the opportunity to represent our institution on the football field alongside my teammates," Mariota said in a university news release. "I look forward to earning my degree next year and to the rest of my career at this great University."
Mariota has been hampered by a knee injury since a 42-14 win against UCLA on Oct. 26. In the Ducks' last four games — including losses to Stanford and Arizona — he has completed less than 60% of his attempts twice, tossed his only four interceptions on the year and accounted for only 71 rushing yards on 25 carries.
Mariota threw for 3,412 yards and 30 touchdowns despite the sluggish close to the regular season, setting a school season record with 3,994 yards of total offense —.and standing as the only quarterback on the automatic-qualifying level to throw for at least 30 touchdowns in each of the last two years.
His superb statistical season earned Mariota first-team all-Pac-12 honors for the second year in a row. He is the first Pac-12 quarterback to earn matching honors in back-to-back years since former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck in 2010 and 2011, and the first Oregon quarterback to do so since Chris Miller in 1985 and 1986.
Oregon also announced that center Hroniss Grasu, a three-year starter, would return for his senior season. Also a first-team all-conference pick, Grasu is expected to earn All-America honors for the second year in a row.
"I'm extremely happy to be returning for my senior year," Grasu said. "To be a student-athlete in this community is an honor and an experience I'll continue to cherish with my teammates."

I would think
I would think that it would be over carbonated unless you put it in the bottle flat, then you may have a hard time keeping it if it is flat in the bottle. They have many types of "mini dipensing systems ranging from 1.3 Gallon Pet bottles and steel kegs up to 5 Gallon corney kegs with bicycle type pumps. Take a look at Williams brewing or one of the other online shops and go to the dispensing and or kegging area.

Proud member of The Awesome Brigade!!! ^_____^
Um, what can I say about myself? My name is Judie, though most people call me Jude. I live in Perth in Western Australia, where I was also born. I'm part Australian and part Filipino. And even though I was born here, I spent most of my childhood in Esperance, which is down south east of Perth.
I first got into Pokemon when I was about 7-8, and my first game was Pokemon Gold. Ever since then I've played Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, Platnium and Black (and hopefully White 2 when it comes out).
Apart from Pokemon, I'm into RPGs and other Nintendo titles... ESPECIALLY THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!!
AND I COMPLETELY KINGDOM HEARTS!! :DDDDDD :P :)) Keyblades FTW!
And when I'm not gaming, I draw. Anime mostly. I'm not so much into doing fanart, prefering to draw my own characters that I have designed for a story I am trying to write.
But that doesn't mean I won't do fanarts at all...
Just ask nicely enough!
I'm a real quirky, weird kind of person... the kind of person that looks really cute on first glance, but is actually hiding a much darker, evil personality... heheheheheh...no one ever suspects the innocent ones...
...And that is a big mistake...
...You'll see...
I used to be Psystar63 on Neopets, but I had to quit that after my computer crashed and failed.
I miss you dearly Winteraylia, Koraeli, and Xaraiku... But I can always just revive them with my 'awesome' powers... o_O
And I have a huge bishie crush on a character of my own creation...but that's totally normal (right? ^^)
No one knows who he is, because he is mine, and mine alone!
Right, Hadrian? :D ;) :P

The Randolph County Drug Court will be holding a pair of graduation ceremonies for two of their participants next month.
Said graduations will take place on May 1 and May 15, respectively, in the Randolph County Justice Center, Huntsville.
"Like the other 2,700 operational Drug Courts in the United States, the Randolph County Drug Court is a judicially-supervised court docket that reduces correctional costs, protects community safety, and improves public welfare," said Cynthia A. Suter, Associate Circuit Judge for the county, who will oversee the graduation ceremonies. "In Drug Courts, seriously drug-addicted individuals remain in treatment for long periods of time while under close supervision. Participants must meet their obligation to themselves, their families, and society. To ensure accountability, they are regularly and randomly tested for drug use, required to appear frequently in court for the judge to review their progress, rewarded for doing well and sanctioned for not living up to their obligations."
Over 20 persons are expected to graduate from the Randolph County Program between this year and next year, Suter said.
Statistics provided in a press release from the court note that "Nationally, 75% of individuals who complete Drug Court are not re-arrested. Drug Courts save up to $13,000 for every individual they serve and return as much as $27 for every $1 invested."
Suter asks that local businesses attempt to hire participants of the program to at least part-time work, as their program requires the seeking of and attainment of employment at certain phases before graduation can be attained.
"Participants must find employment and fit it around these components of Drug Court regimen," she said.
This month is National Drug Court Month. The theme this year is: "Drug Courts: A Proven Budget Solution."

The game was played under an overcast sky with a drizzle.
Abby Keese, Courtney Billington, Mackenzie Tucker and Whitney Kiihnl were named to the All-Tournament team in a vote of the coaches and the media.
Hawaii opened the scoring with two runs and added one run in the third to take a 3-0 lead.
The Lady Bisons took the lead with four runs in the fifth inning. Christen Campbell singled up the middle to start the inning. Megan Rottler flied out to left field. Kiihnl singled to the pitcher. Lauren Dortwegt then singled to right field, scoring Campbell. Tucker got her second hit of the game, a single up the middle that scored Kiihnl. Dortwegt scored the third run from third on a wild pitch. Tucker also scored the fourth run on a wild pitch.
Hawaii capitalized on a pair of errors by the Lady Bisons in the seventh. Kelly Majam hit a home run to tie the game with one out. With two outs the Lady Bisons had a fielding error by first baseman Kellie Sirus who dropped a foul ball. A fielding error by Keese allowed Melissa Gonzalez, who had been intentionally walked, to score the game-winner. Gonzalez had hit one of Hawaii's three home runs in the game.
The Lady Bisons out-hit Hawaii eight-to-six. Tucker and Kiihnl each had two hits to lead the Lady Bisons.
Campbell pitched 6.2 innings to the Lady Bisons. She walked two and struck out three. Campbell slipped to 4-2.
The Lady Bisons opened the Spring Fling with a 1-0 win over No. 12-ranked California-Berkeley, but lost the next five games.
The Lady Bisons are 20-7. Hawaii is 22-10.
The Lady Bisons are not back in action until March 26 when they play ETSU in the first Atlantic Sun doubleheader of the season at Draper Diamond.. They will play USC Upstate March 27.

Tips for decorating a bookshelf
Bookshelves are a great way to decorate: They don't take up much floor space�and they provide an area on which to store various items. Here are some tips for creating an aesthetically pleasing bookcase.�
Make it functional
Turn your bookshelf into a usable space by arranging a bar set on it. You can also use the space as an area on which to display your collections. HGTV notes that collections are particularly visually appealing because the items are usually similar, but vary enough to keep it interesting. Mix the collection in with your novels to make it eclectic.�However, if you choose to install a minibar on the shelves, keep it separate from your hardcovers to avoid exposing them to water damage.�
Put like with like
HGTV also suggests grouping items together based on their color, size or function. For example, arrange a group of white vases of different sizes together on one end of the shelf, and stack a few antique books on the other side. Experiment with odd numbers and asymmetrical design to make it seem as though you put it together off the cuff. Who knows - by arranging your shelves sporadically, you may find a set up that you enjoy more than any organized design.�
Turn it into a stage
One of the simplest ways to turn your bookshelf into something dramatic is by hanging a set of custom window treatments in front of the books and keeping them partially drawn. This gives it the effect of a curtain being pulled onstage, lending a unique feel to the room. This also allows more attention to fall on your books.�
Real Simple also recommends putting empty frames on bookshelves and mantles to obtain a stark geometry - but putting empty picture frames in front of books will also draw more attention to the binding and titles.�

SPRING VALLEY – In April, voters approved a $32 million referendum to build a new Hall High School just north of the current facility.
Now comes the hard work for the school board.
One of the first decisions the board has to make is whether to hire a construction management firm to supervise the project, or to go with a general contractor, who would be chosen by the bidding process.
At Wednesday's meeting, the board heard more than three and one-half hours of presentations from six management companies who had several things in common. All of them were located closer than the Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson Construction Co., which made a presentation at the May 7 meeting as the preference of the project's architect, Healy, Bender & Associates of Naperville.
The companies stressed their commitment to put as many local people to work on the project as possible, and a few companies even touted their close personal ties to the school and the community.
Pete Mangieri from Mangieri Companies of Peoria said Mangieri does the most work of any company within a two-hour radius of Peoria. He said the company has done work totaling $137 million, and they have 15 more projects under contract.
Mangieri said a construction manager is not an extra layer but rather replaces the general contractor. He said a construction manager will give a proposed cost for the project, and then hold to it.
Andy Mrowicki of HR Green in Yorkville said he, Matt Jereb and Eric Carls were all from the Illinois Valley, and they looked forward to working alongside "friends and family."
The company offers construction administration instead of construction management, and Mrowicki said some of the benefits included independent oversight of the project and the lowest risk to the district.
Nick Papanicholas Jr. of Nicholas and Associates in Mount Prospect said 90 percent of the company's annual sales were in the construction of K-12 Illinois schools.
Papanicholas discussed the two construction manager options, saying the construction manager at risk required his company to provide the bond, which made it easier for smaller subcontractors to bid on the project.
Several previous residents were part of the group presenting for Leopardo Companies of Hoffman Estates. President Rick Mattioda said it was good to come back to his hometown.
Mattioda said Hall graduates Tony Orlandi and Jason Samolinski would be on-site every day monitoring the project.
Derek Ward of Gilbane Building Co. of Chicago said his company is the largest construction management company for K-12 education in the country.
Ward said the company often builds next to existing buildings and has strategies and procedures to deal with the issues.
The final presenter was David Binkley of George Sollitt Construction Co. in suburban Wood Dale. The company is currently working on the new technology center at IVCC, and Binkley said they have strong ties with the local contracting community and labor.
Binkley said he would like to continue with the IVCC project team on the Hall project to maintain continuity.
The board will meet at 5:15 p.m. June 5 to make a final decision regarding a construction manager.

The Internet is amazing. It hosts media of all kinds. Anybody can communicate with anybody. And you can find out anything you want to know. It's huge and complex but we don't need to understand how it works to know that it does. In the same way, we don't need to understand how the brain works to know that it does. Its electro-chemical machinations, while interesting, aren't necessary to understand in order to know that the brain deliberates. That's what it does.

Sonoma[6] is located in Sonoma County in the Bay Area of California.
Get in
Sonoma is a little town in the North bay that is growing constantly, but it still insists on having that small home town feel. There are no freeways or major highways that go thru Sonoma since it is surrounded by hills on every side. The best bet to get in is from Hwy 12 either from Napa, Petaluma or Santa Rosa. Sonoma County is served by direct flights to Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS). Travelers can also fly in to either Sacramento or Oakland Airport. (You can use San Francisco also but it is a little more hectic of an airport). There are many ways to get from the airport including many different bus systems, the airporter, taxi cabs (wouldn't recommend), rental car or since you are in luxurious Wine Country why not rent a limo!
The official visitor information site for all of Sonoma County is http://www.sonomacounty.com/. Order a visitor guide or map online, or call 1-800-576-6662.
Get around
There is a really great public bus service.
Sonoma is Home to the Bear Flag revolt and the home of General Vallejo where his mansion is a historic landmark that may be seen on any day of the week. If you pay $2 you can get a pass to see his mansion, the Barracks (home of the military back in the 1800's), and the Sonoma Mission (the first church in sonoma). These three are located on or near downtown Sonoma plaza. The Sonoma plaza is a large park great for families and it houses city hall. Surrounding the plaza are many various shops and five star restaurants.
Other activities
Traditional handcrafted cheeses from The sonoma cheese factory, Sonoma Valley Wine
You're in Wine Country! There are many great wineries all around Sonoma. If you can't decide you can also go to the Wine Exchange on First Street East on the plaza and they can recommend some great wines and beers too! Eventually our Wikitravellers may actually list some of the better ones below.
Get out
