SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The three women who want to be Oregon’s next governor clashed Tuesday over gun control, abortions and other hot-button issues at an in-person debate, just six weeks before election day.
Democratic nominee and former Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek set the tone earlier Tuesday by tweeting a video saying that an election victory by either Republican candidate Christine Drazan or unaffiliated candidate Betsy Johnson would usher in “a right-wing Oregon.”
At the debate in Bend, Oregon, Kotek was alone in saying she would support a gun-control measure that has received enough voter signatures to get on the November ballot. Johnson and Drazan said they oppose it. The measure would require people wanting to purchase a gun to first qualify for a permit and is one of the strictest gun-control measures in the nation.
The epidemic of mass shootings in the nation recently hit Bend, a town near the Cascade Range which was the scene of a shooting at a supermarket on Aug. 28 in which the gunmen fired more than 100 rounds, killing two people before fatally shooting himself.
“What happened in Bend was an absolute tragedy. Someone facing extreme mental health challenges was intent on hurting others and was effectively able to do so … but more gun laws will not prevent every single tragedy from happening,” Drazan said.
Johnson said the measure would unduly burden rural police departments. Applicants would apply for the permit from the local police chief, county sheriff or their designees. But Johnson said she would support raising the minimum purchasing age for certain weapons from 18 to 21.
Kotek and Johnson both said they supported abortion rights, drawing a bright line between themselves and Drazan, a former Oregon House Republican leader.
The abortion issue has become a potential liability for GOP candidates, including Drazan, following the Supreme Court’s decision to remove constitutional abortion protections.
Drazan complained that she was being attacked over her abortion stance, with Kotek and Johnson trying to “distract and divide.” Abortion is legal in Oregon, and Drazan insisted that she would follow the law if elected.
But Kotek countered that Drazan could harm abortion rights as governor.
“When she says, ‘I’ll just follow the law,’ a governor can do a lot of damage even if there’s a law on the books: stopping agencies, not being a champion, not moving resources to help Oregonians,” Kotek said. “So you cannot trust that statement.”
The high number of people in Oregon who are houseless and the high cost of housing was also a point of contention among the candidates at the debate venue, Oregon State University-Cascades.
Drazan blames Kotek and Johnson, a former veteran lawmaker, for a homeless crisis.
In a Fox News interview earlier this week, Johnson disparaged Kotek as “tent city Tina” due to widespread homelessness that has blighted parts of Portland.
Drazan complained about taxes that have been imposed in recent years in Oregon and said “we’ve got to be serious about holding the line on new taxes.”
It was the second televised debate for the three candidates, with Democrats lacking a lock on this race. Johnson, who used to belong to the Republican party and then was a Democrat, is seen as a potential spoiler. Two national election-watching groups rated the race as a toss-up.
There are 1 million registered Democrats and 729,000 registered Republicans in Oregon. But there are also 1 million registered voters claiming no party affiliation. Which way they swing come Nov. 8 could be decisive in whether a Republican will be Oregon’s governor for the first time since 1987, or an independent since 1937.
Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, can’t run again because of term limits.

Nowhere in the Bible does it mention Jesus' disciples celebrating his birth.
In fact, the early Christians and Jews of Bible times did not celebrate birthdays at all:
"The notion of a birthday festival was far from the ideas of the Christians of this period in general."-The History of the Christian Religion and Church, During the Three First Centuries (New York, 1848), Augustus Neander (translated by Henry John Rose), p. 190
Origen, the very notable writer of the third century C.E. insists that
"‘of all the holy people in the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on his birthday. It is only sinners (like Pharaoh and Herod) who make great rejoicings over the day on which they were born into this world below.’”-The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913, Vol. X, p. 709
The Jews "regarded birthday celebrations as parts of idolatrous worship . . . , and this probably on account of the idolatrous rites with which they were observed in honor of those who were regarded as the patron gods of the day on which the party was born." -M'Clintock and Strong's Cyclopaedia (1882, Vol. I, p. 817)

England coach Eddie Jones called disrespectful and likened to Donald Trump by ex-Scotland boss Jim Telfer
- Jim Telfer has launched a withering attack on England boss Eddie Jones
- The former Scotland coach has accused the England man of being disrespectful
- Jones has also been likened to United States president Donald Trump by Telfer
- Telfer has also taken a swipe at Twickenham, saying spending time there makes him think about Scottish separation from England
- Read: Sir Clive Woodward's guide to the Six Nations
Eddie Jones was presented with a non-slip bathmat to mark his 57th birthday on Monday — before receiving a shower of abuse from Scotland legend Jim Telfer.
Sporting a black eye from a bathroom fall last week, the England coach was handed the £15 accessory, along with a bottle of wine, during a team meeting.
But the bonhomie was not shared north of the border, where Telfer stoked the RBS 6 Nations fires by claiming Jones shares egotistical traits with Donald Trump.
Former Scotland coach Jim Telfer has launched a withering attack on England's Eddie Jones
‘Eddie Jones doesn’t want to beat teams, he wants to demolish them, which I find a bit disappointing,’ Telfer told the BBC. ‘To me, he’s building his whole team on set-piece. Having coached Australia and Japan you would have thought the opposite would be the case. The way he speaks, it’s a bit like Donald Trump. He wants to be the big man, you know?
‘His goal is to win the World Cup in 2019 and so far it’s gone well, but he could be a little more circumspect. He doesn’t show much respect and it could come back to bite him.’
England open their campaign against France on Saturday. They do not face Scotland until round four but Telfer could not resist an early dig at the unbeaten coach.
Telfer has accused Jones of wanting 'to be the big man' and compared him to Donald Trump
The 76-year-old former Lions assistant turned political advisor in his annual outburst, claiming Scotland fans would vote ‘Yes’ to independence from the UK if they visited Twickenham on a Test day.
‘There’s so many of them, three tiers of them,’ added Telfer. ‘If you ever think about wanting separation from England just sit 10 minutes in Twickenham and listen to them. They think they’re superior and a lot of them will come from the South East, bags of money and bags of this and bags of that. They don’t really appreciate the other team. In France they just boo the other team, in Argentina they boo the other team, in England it’s just disdain. “Why are we playing these plebs?” I don’t like Twickenham. A concrete jungle, nothing attractive about it at all.’
Having overseen a perfect run of 13 victories in 2016, Jones received an injury boost yesterday as forwards James Haskell, Joe Marler and George Kruis all trained.
With Billy Vunipola, Anthony Watson, Manu Tuilagi, Chris Robshaw and Mako Vunipola sidelined — and Jack Clifford in modified training — the key trio could return on Saturday.
'If you ever think about wanting separation from England just sit 10 minutes in Twickenham and listen to them,' says Telfer
‘There’s great depth and competition within the back five,’ said forwards coach Steve Borthwick. ‘We’re watching them all closely.’
Jones names his team on Thursday for the tournament opener, with lock Maro Itoje being considered for a switch to flanker to cover for Robshaw.
‘The energy Maro brings means he’ll play his game wherever you put him,’ said Borthwick. ‘I’m jealous of these guys. They’ve got pace I never had.’
If Itoje plays at No 6, Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury will duel to start at second row.
‘The strength in depth means that if someone gets struck down then someone with similar skills or different skills will come in and fill that role,’ said Lawes.
‘Mako and Billy are two of the best in the world so you are always going to miss them. But there are players, myself included, who can step up.’

text: Soil for Life, a non-profit organisation in Constantia is changing lives with one seed at a time.Founded in 2002 by Pat Featherstone (72), the aim of the organisation is to teach people how to work the soil and grow healthy plants so that families can sit down to plates of safe, fresh, nutritious food all year round.They run several programmes like home gardening, health and well-being and they hold courses and workshops as well as educational visits to the organisation. They strive to teach people to look after the environment and recycle.Featherstone, a zoologist and a teacher has always had a passion for gardening, something she picked up from her mother and other relatives. Her turning point was when she joined the Food Gardening Foundation and she noticed that people were going home to no food.“What really got to me was that people who were working there will go home to no food or even if they had, they were eating unhealthy stuff, mostly from tins and this was not right. With talking to people and starting something at a nearby school, things grew from there,” she says.Soil for Life has become a beacon of hope for the unemployed and most people are changing their lives for the better through what they are taught by the organisation. Looking back at how the journey has been since starting the organisation, Featherstone says: “I never realised things will get like this. It is all through taking one step at a time,” she says, adding that at times she got a bit cumbersome because she had to do everything. However, as the organisation grew the load got lighter and she got more people on board.She loves every minute that she spends at the organisation. “What I seriously love about this work is that you meet people that you have never met before. People that are kind, caring and intelligent. People that just needed an opportunity in life. What is also truly amazing is the appreciation from the people that we work with,” she says.Featherstone adds that gardening has a lot of benefits. “Putting your hands in the soil and especially when barefoot the connection with the soil makes you feel better. It is also a good exercise, you’re outside, breathing fresh air. It is just de-stressing and you’re in contact with nature,” she says.Apart from spending so much time at the organisation, Featherstone also enjoys reading and spending time in nature. She also spends a lot of time with her five dogs.“They (dogs) go with me everywhere, they even come to work with me. I had nine of them. Now they are five. Reading is also my favourite because one gains a lot of information and insight to a lot of things,” she says.To learn more about Soil for Life visit www.soilforlife.co.za or call 021 794 4982 or email email@example.com.

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Place the potatoes in a large enough baking dish so they dont overlap much. Pour the olive oil all over. Add the garlic, oregano, sea salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Mix potatoes with olive oil and seasonings well.

Woman charged with hit-and-run in Cody
CODY (WNE) — Jennifer Christen Phillips, 40, of Cody, pleaded not guilty Friday to hit-and-run charges after she allegedly struck an 11-year-old on a bicycle.
She also pleaded not guilty to one count of failing to yield the right of way in a crosswalk.
Parker DeFord was riding his bicycle Sept. 20 with some friends near the intersection of 16th Street and Stampede Avenue. As DeFord attempted to cross 16th Street around 5:30 p.m., a white Dodge Ram turning from 16th onto Stampede Avenue struck him. The vehicle did not stop.
Phillips turned herself in to the Cody Police Department after learning it was searching for a white Dodge pickup and after her husband told her a child had been injured, her attorney said at the arraignment hearing in Park County Circuit Court on Friday, Sept. 23.
“Her version of events is she felt she hit the curb and did not realize she had hit a young child and caused injuries,” Phillips’ attorney Timothy Blatt said at the hearing.
According to Nicole DeFord, Parker’s mother, he sustained a broken left tibia, two broken ribs on his left side, a small puncture in one of his lungs and several broken or chipped teeth.
“Any reasonable person under the circumstances would have known they hit somebody on a bicycle,” Deputy Park County Attorney Jack Hatfield said at the hearing.
Hatfield initially asked judge Joey Darrah for a $5000 cash and surety bond after saying Phillips was a flight risk and there was a concern for public safety.
Darrah agreed there was a public safety concern and limited Phillips’ driving privileges.
Phillips was also given a $6000 personal recognizance bond. A jury trial is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2023.
Man arrested on drug charges tries to eat meth at jail
GILLETTE (WNE) — A 51-year-old man was arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, driving with a suspended license, possession of methamphetamine, taking drugs into the jail and possession of fake urine meant to defraud drug screenings Saturday on Echeta Road.
At 2:06 a.m. Sheriff’s deputies were patrolling near the Foothills Theater when they saw a silver SUV with a missing headlight drive by and stop at a yellow light. The deputies followed the vehicle to the light where it did not move, Undersheriff Quentin Reynolds said.
Deputies talked with the 51-year-old driver who they knew had a suspended license. The man was talking randomly about things that weren’t related to what the deputies were saying, and he did not complete the sobriety tests.
Deputies searched the SUV and found a bag with suspected meth, a used syringe and synthetic urine that is used in defrauding drug tests.
While being booked, jail staff found a bag of meth on him that the man tried to eat. They were able to take the bag back out of his mouth.
The man was also found to have three previous DUI charges in the last ten years, making his DUI a felony.
Gasoline prices back up more than 5 cents in Wyoming in past week
CHEYENNE (WNE) — Average gasoline prices in Wyoming have risen 5.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.83 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy.com's survey of 494 stations in Wyoming.
Prices in Wyoming are 14.8 cents per gallon lower than a month ago, and stand 37.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has declined 5.1 cents in the last week, and stands at $4.88 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Wyoming was priced at $3.09 per gallon Sunday, while the most expensive was $4.79, a difference of $1.70 per gallon.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 3.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.67 per gallon Monday. The national average is down 17.5 cents per gallon from a month ago, and stands 49.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data.
The data is compiled from more weekly price reports covering over 150,000 U.S. gas stations.
GOP narrows field to three nominees for secretary of state
CHEYENNE (WNE) — The Wyoming Republican Party has picked three nominees to put forward to the governor to become the interim secretary of state, party and other officials have confirmed to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
Those successful candidates were approved on the first ballot during the GOP meeting in Pavillion, and they were identified as Karl Allred, Marti Halverson and Bryan Miller.
A Wyoming GOP representative, as well as the spokesperson for Gov. Mark Gordon, later separately confirmed those three people were the party’s formal and final picks. Gordon now has five days to make a pick from these finalists to be secretary of state until the voters’ pick in the general election is sworn in. That person is likely to be Rep. Chuck Gray, R-Casper, who won the GOP primary last month.
The appointment of an interim secretary of state became necessary when Ed Buchanan, who was elected in 2018, left the secretary of state post on Sept. 16 to become a judge.
The three nominees for the position could not immediately be reached.
Gillette man gets 24 years for intent to deliver meth and fentanyl
GILLETTE (WNE) — A second Gillette man has been sentenced to prison after being caught with more than 7,000 fentanyl pills and ten pounds of meth in January.
Joshua Taylor, 26, was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison for possession with intent to deliver meth.
Taylor, Brett Scheeler and Karl Dennis Vonngettrost Jr. were indicted by a grand jury Jan. 8 for possession with intent to deliver meth. Taylor and Scheeler were each indicted on a second count for intent to deliver.
In 2021, law enforcement received information that Taylor was selling and distributing meth and fentanyl in Gillette. In January 2022, he talked to someone in the Campbell County Jail about going to Arizona.
Law enforcement believed Taylor was traveling to Arizona to pick up a shipment of meth and fentanyl, and using Taylor’s cell phone data, they determined he subsequently drove to Phoenix and returned to Gillette.
On Jan. 8, agents conducted surveillance on the route they believed Taylor would use to get back to Gillette. At about 11:45 a.m., they saw a 2011 Chevy Suburban heading north on Highway 50, about 19 miles south of Gillette.
Scheeler was driving, and agents believed Taylor was in the car. Deputies attempted to stop the men, but a high-speed chase ensued until Scheeler turned onto private property. Taylor jumped out and ran across the prairie, according to court documents.
Troopers and deputies witnessed Taylor throwing items from a backpack. These items turned out to be 6.38 pounds of suspected meth and 272 grams of suspected fentanyl in pill form.
Deputies found a black handgun and a syringe on the passenger floorboard right behind the driver’s seat of the car.
Scheeler was arrested, and a search of the Suburban found an additional 4.05 pounds of meth and 569 grams, or 1.25 pounds, of fentanyl, in a black duffel bag.
Fire restrictions lifted in forests
LARAMIE (WNE) — Fire restrictions on all National Forest System lands managed by the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland were removed on Friday.
The restrictions were lifted because of increased fuel moisture and favorable weather forecasts for reduced wildfire potential as per a news release.
The areas include national forest and grassland in Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Moffat, Rio Blanco, and Routt counties in northwest Colorado; Albany, Campbell, Carbon, Converse, Crook, Natrona, Niobrara, Platte, and Weston counties in Wyoming.
Large wildfire activity has been less substantial this year compared to previous recent years; however, late-season fires have become more common in the Rocky Mountain region.
Hunters, campers, and all other forest visitors should exercise caution to reduce wildfire risk. Campfire safety best practices include making sure that campfires are thoroughly extinguished before leaving a fire unattended.
Even relatively small warming fires should be dead out before campers leave the site.
Many areas across the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland remain in drought of varying levels of intensity.
More information also can be found on the website fs.usda.gov/mbr or social media channels: @ FS_MBRTB on Twitter or @FSMBRTB on Facebook.

Green River elementary school celebrates national level success
ROCK SPRINGS (WNE) — The students had the opportunity to celebrate during a surprise assembly at Washington Elementary School in Green River on Monday, Sept. 19.
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona recognized Washington Elementary as one of the 297 National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2022.
The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. With its 39th cohort, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed approximately 10,000 awards to more than 9,000 schools.
National Blue Ribbon Schools serve as models of effective school practices for state and district educators and other schools throughout the nation.
“This is the most exciting news in all my 17 years of teaching,” Washington Elementary School teacher Breeun Palmer-Bieber said at the assembly. “This is a big deal because not a lot of Wyoming schools have won this.”
“It’s a remarkable achievement,” said Craig Barringer, Sweetwater County School District No. 2 superintendent. “It’s a testament to the work the teachers do and how the parents help them. As you walk in here, you can just feel the positive vibe.”
Principal Anne-Marie Covey said she was overwhelmed with pride.
“I think to be recognized on the national level is something that validates the work we do here,” she said. “I hope when the kids are older, they will look back and say, ‘That was my elementary school and I was a part of that.’”
Up to 420 schools in the U.S. and its provinces may be nominated each year.
The Henry A. Coffeen Elementary School in Sheridan is also a 2022 Blue Ribbon Elementary School.
Meth defendant determined fit to proceed
JACKSON (WNE) — Timothy Ritter, who is facing felony methamphetamine charges, was determined fit to proceed to trial after an evaluation by the Wyoming State Hospital.
Ritter, 43, appeared in Teton County Circuit Court on Thursday. His attorney, Bill Fix, stated that his client agreed with the findings of the evaluation and that he was competent to proceed.
Ritter has charges pending in both Teton County District and Circuit Court. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
The two felony charges pending in District Court were originally filed Dec. 15, 2021, for actions alleged to have occurred in October and November. Ritter was arrested Nov. 10, 2021, after a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper found ingredients used to make meth in his car.
The charges are conspiracy to commit a controlled substance offense and possession of a controlled substance precursor. Each offense carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail and a $25,000 fine.
Two additional drug-related charges are related to actions that allegedly occurred during November and December of 2021. These charges carry fines of $15,000 and a potential imprisonment of seven years.
He had been in custody since July 7 after he failed to appear for a court-ordered evaluation of his mental fitness, prompting a warrant for his arrest.
His case had been placed on inactive status until June 22, when officers in Georgia apprehended him during a traffic stop and extradited him back to Teton County. After two and a half months in custody, Ritter posted a $50,000 cash bail and was released Thursday evening.
His release conditions allowed him to return to his home in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Ritter’s trial is now set for Oct. 31.

Merkel tries to bolster CDU candidate ahead of German election
German Chancellor Angela Merkel praised her government’s achievements and criticized the potential of a left-wing administration in a speech to lawmakers ahead of the country’s upcoming parliamentary elections.
Merkel said her party’s candidate for chancellor Armin Laschet would lead a government that stands for “stability” and “moderation”, adding that this would be “exactly what Germany needs”.
She spoke of the achievements of her last term, saying that Germany had made “significant progress” in digitization and infrastructure while admitting that there are “small difficulties in many places”.
The outgoing chancellor was trying to strengthen her future successor Laschet, governor of Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, as the number of polls fell.
Recent polls have shown that Merkel’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lags behind the center-left Social Democrats (SPD).
Green candidate Annalena Baerbock, whose party is third in the polls, told parliament the elections would be the government’s last chance to change climate change.
Merkel warned that a government headed by her deputy Olaf Scholz, who heads the SPD, would include the opposition “Left Party” which is against NATO and German missions abroad.
She also berated Scholz for a comment in which he described people who were vaccinated against COVID-19 early, including himself, as “guinea pigs.” Scholz later added that the vaccination had clearly worked and that those who hesitated should also receive the vaccine.
Merkel’s unusually partisan speech came in what was likely the last Bundestag session before the September 26 election.
“We all agree that a lot more people have yet to be convinced to get vaccinated, but if we are to convince people it has to be done with arguments and not, at the very least, pictures of ‘ ‘biased guinea pigs,’ Merkel said. noted.
Scholz replied that people can be convinced with humor.
“If some people don’t want to laugh and get upset about it, maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don’t have much to laugh about considering their poll scores,” did he declare.
He also attacked the CDU’s agenda, saying that another center-right-led government “would cost Germany prosperity and jobs.”

BY DAN STICKRADT
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. — Even with a tradition rich pool of prep football programs in the region, last season was an anomaly in terms of postseason success.
Although 10 local schools — Auburn Hills Avondale, Clarkston, Holly, Lake Orion, Ortonville Brandon, Oxford, Pontiac, Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, Rochester Adams and Troy Athens — all made the postseason in 2011, only three won a playoff game and not one single school with local ties advanced beyond the district finals.
Schools form the www.northoaklandsports.com coverage region were a combined 3-10 in the second season a year ago. Clarkston, Notre Dame Prep and Adams all won their first-round contests but lost in the district finals.
Chances are a similar type of drought won’t leak into this season.
Several teams have stacked rosters potentially good enough for postseason success this season and several others are eyeing significant improvements in 2012.
Look for Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes, Troy, Rochester and Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest to all bounce back and potentially become playoff teams. Rochester Stoney Creek could also be on the rise.
Holly, which ended a 59-year league title drought by finishing in a three-way tie for the flint Metro League title last season, will likely engage in a five-team race in that conference and be a playoffs contender.
Clarkston and Lake Orion could be top-10 teams in the state in Division 1 and the premier programs in the area.
Troy Athens hopes to remain in the top half of the OAA Red Division after reaching the postseason in 2011 for the first time in seven years. Notre Dame Prep could be one of the better CHSL schools and Adams is going for an area-leading 16th straight postseason berth.
Oxford, which had a streak of 28 consecutive winning seasons snapped in 2010, returned to form last season by finishing second in the OAA White Division and making the playoffs for the 17th time in 23 seasons.
DECADES OF EXCELLENCE
Over the past three decades, six different local schools have reached at least the state semifinals in prep football. In 2010, Lake Orion made a return trip to that point — and with greater results.
For the first time in three trips to the Final Four, Lake Orion captured its first-ever state championship, topping Plymouth, 21-13, in the Division 1 state finals at Ford Field.
Previously, the last school from the www.northoaklandsports.com coverage area to win a state title was Rochester Adams in 2003. The Highlanders defeated Birmingham Brother Rice, 28-7, for the Division 2 state crown that year.
Before that, it was Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes in 2002. The Lakers toppled Gaylord St. Mary’s, 13-10, in overtime for the Division 8 crown that year.
Troy won the Class AA title in 1994 with a 17-0 victory over Bay City Central. Oxford is the fifth local school to bask in state glory, winning the Class BB state title in 1992 with a 20-13 victory over Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills.
Waterford Lakes leads the way with 12 trips to the state semifinals, the first coming in Class D back in 1982. Lakes also finished as the state runner-up in both 1994 and 1990 and have posted winning seasons each year from 1989 to 2010.the streak ended last season, as the Lakers finished 4-5.
Adams also lost in the state semifinals on three occasions, those defeats coming in 2007 to Detroit King (14-7), in 2004 to Muskegon (25-0) and in 2005 to Birmingham Brother Rice (14-7).
That is just a portion of area teams that have shined in the postseason with at least one, Final Four run.
Clarkston lost on the final play of the game in the state semifinals in 2009, falling to Sterling Heights Stevenson, 37-35. It was not the first time the Wolves lost inside the final two minutes of the state semifinals. Clarkston dropped a 14-9 decision to Utica Eisenhower in 1999 and a 17-15 decision to Grand Ledge in 2002. All of those games came in the D-1 tournament field.
Four years ago, Lake Orion also played in the D-1 state title game, where the Dragons dropped a 26-14 decision to Rockford. Lake Orion made it to the state semifinals round once before, falling to Rockford 48-7 back in 1998.
As for Troy, the Colts have also had three other long postseason runs. The first was a state runner-up showing in 1985, when they lost in the Class A state finals to Traverse City (29-3). Troy also lost in the Class A state semifinals to Detroit King in 1990 (19-0) and again in the Division 1 state semifinals in 2007 to Livonia Stevenson (40-35).
Oxford has reached the Final Four on three other occasions to go along with their title-run of 1992. In 1990, the Wildcats lost in the Class B finals to Dowigiac Union (35-14) and to East Grand Rapids in the 1993 Class BB finals (28-25 in overtime). Oxford also bowed out in the Division 2 state semis to Farmington Harrison back in 1998 (48-7).
There is plenty of tradition when it comes to prep football in North Oakland County. There are a combined 143 playoff appearances turned in by area schools since the inception of the MHSAA playoffs in 1975.
All of this tradition and success begs the question: Which local team will be a serious threat to become a Final Four team in 2012? Again last season should be anomaly.
But as tradition states, count on the powers to have the best chance to succeed. The numbers prove that theory.
LEADING THE WAY
Waterford Lakes leads the way with 22 postseason appearances. Oxford and Lake Orion have 16 apiece, with Clarkston (15), Troy (13) and Auburn Hills Avondale (13) following closely behind. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep has made the postseason eight times, while Troy Athens (6), Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest (5), Rochester (4), Ortonville Brandon (4), Holly (3), Pontiac (2) and Rochester Stoney Creek (2) also making the field at least twice.
Both Auburn Hills Oakland Christian and Troy Christian Leadership Academy are entering their fourth season of competition and neither have made the postseason in their first three years. Christian Leadership competes in the Christian Football League of Michigan and is not eligible for the MHSAA playoffs due to being a non-member school.
Rochester, Pontiac, Stoney Creek and Holly are the only local schools that have qualified for the postseason but have never won a playoff game, going a combined 0-10. Stoney Creek, which is entering its 11th year overall, is 0-2 in its two postseason appearances. Holly is 0-3 with all of its postseason appearances coming since 2006. Rochester is 0-4 all-time.
All of that is in the past.
This season 17 local teams will suit up with high hopes, many which will entertain realistic chances at a postseason berth come late October.
There are many questions that need to be answered over the next two months.
n Will Clarkston get a chance for redemption? Three times in the past 13 seasons the Wolves lost in the state semifinals and each time it went down to the final two minutes. Clarkston was plagued by injuries two seasons ago after reaching the Final Four in 2009, a game they lost in the waning seconds. The Wolves had two forfeit two games last season and were upset in the second round by Walled Lake Central, the same team that upset Lake Orion in the district opener.
Clarkston is expected to be one of the state’s top teams in Division 1 this season.
n Lake Orion and Oxford met on the football field in 2010 for the first time since 1983. Oxford defeated the Dragons 34-6 in the previous meeting nearly three decades ago, but the rivalry was suspended due to property damage by students and fans and both teams had played in separate conferences for decades.
Lake Orion exacted a little in 2010 with a 45-6 victory. Last season, Oxford gained the upper edge with a 42-20 triumph.
The two will continue the rivalry this season at Lake Orion.
n Rochester Adams has the longest run of postseason appearances of local schools with 14, which ranks in the top 10 in the state for active streaks. After failing to make the postseason field from 1975 through 1996, the Highlanders have been on a roll with 15 straight winning campaigns. In retrospect from 1969 to 1996, Adams only had nine winning seasons.
Last season Adams picked up a forfeit win over Clarkston which guaranteed them a postseason berth. Without the win, Adams would have been in jeopardy at 5-4, although it likely would have gained an at-large berth due to a very strong schedule.
n Rochester ended a long drought in 2010 in more ways than one. The Falcons not only recorded their first winning season since 1999, but also made the postseason for the first time since ’99. Rochester lost its playoff opener to Utica Eisenhower in 2010 but the Falcons were sacked by injuries and suspensions last season.
The 2011 campaign ended with a 4-5 record, but not before Rochester gained several players back and closed with three straight wins.
This season the Falcons are going after their first league crown this season since 1993 and hope to be to qualify for just their fifth time.
n Once a doormat program, Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest has become a quality small-school program in recent years. The Crusaders have won or shared three straight conference titles from2008-10 and been to the state playoffs five times in 13 years.
Northwest had multiple injuries last season which led to a 4-5 record. This season they enter the MIAC league race as one of the co-favorites along with Grosse Pointe Woods University-Liggett.
n Holly has only made it to the postseason three times (2006, 2010, 2011). The Bronchos won their first league title since 1952 last October, that coming in the old Wayne-Oakland League.
Holly has a chance to win back-to-back leagues for the first time since the 1940s and make the postseason for the third consecutive year and fourth time in seven seasons.
n Notre Dame Prep ventured through a 14-game win streak over parts of the 2010 and 2011 seasons. After opening 0-5 in 2010, the Irish won their final four games that season, went 9-0 in the regular season in 2011 and finished 1-1 in the postseason a year ago.
There are literally hundreds of other questions that need to be answered in the upcoming weeks. For detailed information about all of the local teams and players, please dig into www.northoaklandsports.com to learn more of what’s in store for Friday Nights Lights here in northern Oakland County — and beyond.

Leonard Veitzer, FAIA
Following his passion for skillfully drawing airplanes in high school drafting classes, Veitzer pursued an aeronautical engineering track at Cal-Berkeley. But looking over the shoulders of fraternity brothers majoring in architecture, including Ray Kappe, Veitzer was increasingly impressed by the beautiful and creative work coming off their boards. He liked what he saw and he knew he had the talent to do that as well. It was 1948 and this was his first glimpse into the emerging modernist movement. He was hooked. Veitzer decided to change majors.
He did, and during that summer worked in San Diego for a journeyman drafting service (where he came to be able to do a complete set of working drawings for a house in four days). Subsequent summers he worked as well for several local architects.
Being drafted into the US Army during the Korean War after just two years in the architecture program turned out to be the best of good fortunes. He was assigned to teach at a small base in Japan between Tokyo and Yokohama. This afforded him the opportunity to easily explore the country and to appreciate the Japanese way of life, especially its connection to nature, in its art, architecture and the activities of daily life. It was a life-altering year-and-a-half.
to Cal in 1954, Mr. Veitzer took a brief summer job with Fred Liebhardt
in a rustic cottage overlooking La Jolla cove. During their many conversations
together, they admired the purity and simplicity of the Japanese approach
to design, and shared as well a passion for contemporary architecture.
Modernism had become the new wave, but most of the faculty at Cal were the old guys, there since before the war (WW2) and steeped in the beaux-arts tradition. But to their everlasting credit and without stylistic dogma, they taught and emphasized only the most fundamental principles of design, those which could and should be applied to any “style.” Principles such as proportion, scale, unity, variety, texture, color, composition and relationship of parts to the whole. And the critiques were always valid and to the point, regardless of the students’ design philosophy. Mr. Veitzer and his classmates were the fortunate beneficiaries of this program. At the same time, students greatly admired and were influenced by the leading modern architects of the region, luminaries like Bernard Maybeck, William Wurster, Vernon DeMars, Warren Callister, Jack Hillmer, Joseph Esherick, Harwell Hamilton Harris, Anshen and Allen, Bernardi and Emmons, Mario Ciampi and others.
After graduating from Cal-Berkeley Cum Laude, Veitzer worked briefly in Berkeley and then began traveling around the country. As an experienced draughtsman, he could get a job anywhere, and did. New Orleans, because it is New Orleans. Sarasota, Florida because if was then a hotbed of new architecture, led by Paul Rudolph. New York, as assistant designer for Harrison & Abramovitz on the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center. Then back to San Diego in 1958 and a position with Dale Naegle in La Jolla.
Veitzer was filled with an almost religious zeal for architecture and was impatient to design his own buildings, and having become licensed in 1960, opened a small office on Fifth and Upas near Hillcrest. He launched his practice with the first office building in Mission Valley (later remodeled horribly) and a house for an old army buddy. Roy Wieghorst’s home overlooking El Cajon, the first of two Leonard would design for him, remains intact in the hands of the original owner. Veitzer’s early influences are evident in the way the house is unobtrusively set into the hillside between two parallel rock retaining walls, the low pitched shake roof, rough-sawn cedar siding inside and out, extensive use of glass, and rock walls quarried from the site. Other notable projects from 1960-1963 were the Rust House in Coronado (also remodeled horribly) and a city recreation club remodel and addition in East San Diego.
In 1963, Veitzer closed his office for lack of work and joined the larger firm of Robert Mosher and Roy Drew. During his two years there, he was the principal designer of San Diego State’s Aztec Center and a startling high rise apartment building designed for 1200 Prospect Street in La Jolla that was never built.
The office of Architect Leonard Veitzer AIA reopened again on Fifth Avenue, this time in Lloyd and Ilse Ruocco’s Design Center Building. He became very close friends with the Ruoccos, a pioneering and influential couple who were at the forefront of post-war modernism in San Diego. They would often engage in long and spirited discussions about architecture, environment and the responsibilities of architects to society. The Design Center in those days was a nexus for creative professions -- architects, landscape architects, photographers, graphic designers, advertising and modeling agencies, and even a bohemian barber who was also a very talented portrait painter there in her shop. Veitzer’s practice flourished in this environment for 20 years with larger projects, including hundreds of student housing units, medical and science buildings at UCSD. And from 1969-1976, he was a part-time adjunct professor in the Art Department at San Diego State University teaching architecture to interior design students.
In 1997, Veitzer was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, an honor bestowed to less than one percent of American architects. He continues a modest, part-time practice from his home studio.

White House Enacts a Plan to Ease Political Damage - New York Times: "IIn a reflection of what has long been a hallmark of Mr. Rove's tough political style, the administration is also working to shift the blame away from the White House and toward officials of New Orleans and Louisiana who, as it happens, are Democrats. "
Watch the liars spin and duck and run for cover. In an effort to move the blame, they actually stated, and many people now believe, that the Louisiana governor did not declare an emergency. One doesn't want to suggest that state and local governments did everything they should have done, one simply observes that there is a lot of noise about Louisiana, but strangely nothing is being said about Mississippi. Here's a snippet from the timeline at Think Progress:
Think Progress — KATRINA TIMELINE: "Saturday, August 27
5AM — KATRINA UPGRADED TO CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE [CNN]
GOV. BLANCO ASKS BUSH TO DECLARE FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LOUISIANA: “I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster.” [Office of the Governor]
FEDERAL EMERGENCY DECLARED, DHS AND FEMA GIVEN FULL AUTHORITY TO RESPOND TO KATRINA: “Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency.” [White House]"
It would be my observation that the public is quite patient when people take responsibility and then fix things. Of course, that implies that the current Administration is capable of fixing anything at all. Rather than take responsibility, however, this Administration is orchestrating a partisan shift of blame. If Blanco is in some sense responsible for the pathetic federal response, why are we not also talking about the perfidy of Haley Barbour?

The increase in complexity of optimization problems results in an emerging need for simpler, faster and non-classical solutions. One of the options is conversion of a traditional non-hierarchical optimization system to a hierarchical system using an approach called multi-level (ML) decomposition (for optimization). Most of the work in the literature deals with the application of multi-level approach to deterministic optimization problems. But, in nature, many applications are uncertain, and hence, it is realistic to introduce uncertainty in the analysis and optimization. The first part of the present research deals with the development of a multi-level optimization procedure for uncertain engineering systems. The uncertainty in the problem is assumed to be stochastic and interval in nature. The methodology developed is illustrated by considering the optimization of structural and mechanical engineering problems. The second part of the present study deals in modifying a relatively new swarm intelligence technique based on the foraging behavior of ants called Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). A new multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm is developed and applied to structural and mechanical engineering problems. The illustrative examples in the present research include the design optimization of an electric transmission tower (space truss), plane truss, gear box and the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The third part of the research attempts to apply optimization techniques to practical engineering systems in the field of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Micro-Electronics. Novel design optimization models are created and hybrid optimization algorithms are developed for chiller plants and micro-channel heat exchangers used in electronic cooling. Illustrative case studies are performed.

Pool and hot tub area were fantastic. It was great having a kiddie pool. Be prepared to drive to the beach parking area which is 2/10's of a mile from the beach.There is only one dump station and it wasn't very easy to get to. All in all it was a goo stay and we would certainly come back!
Date of Stay: June, 2010
Check in was very fast and easy. We were escorted to our site. Site sizes were a touch on the small side. Campground offered tons of family activities! We only left the campground to sightsee a little. Campground was clean and the staff was very friendly. Garbage pick up at your site every day was a great feature. Wished the pools stayed open a little later than 7 p.m. We will certainly be back!

To make the ideal decisions and purchase the optimal bar stools for your residence you must very carefully consider these 3 variables: the style, the height and the building and construction of the feces.
tractor seat bar stools restoration hardware
To ideally match bench stools with the present decoration of your residence answer these questions: In what room do you desire to put the feces? Just what are the shades of the walls in the area? What is the style of the furnishings in the space? Contemporary, Vintage, Traditional, Modern, Art Deco? In what component of the area do you want to place the feces?

For example, if your counter is 36″ in elevation (which is a standard counter height), you need to go for 24″- 26″ feces. If you have a counter with an increased consuming area, measure the distance from all-time low of the eating surface to the floor then deduct the 10″- 12″ to get the ideal elevation for your stools.

Representatives from nine-area school districts in Montgomery County will come together today to discuss school safety and other education issues on the anniversary of the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The public forum is hosted by the Dayton Unit NAACP and will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. today at the Dayton Public Schools Community Room, 115 S. Ludlow St.
Panelists include Richard Gates, Jefferson Twp. Local Schools superintendent; James Schoenlein, Kettering City Schools superintendent; Susan Gunnell, Huber Heights City Schools superintendent; Thomas Henderson, Centerville City Schools superintendent; Lori Ward, Dayton Public Schools superintendent; Kyle Ramey, Oakwood City Schools superintendent; Gerald Cox, director of staff and student services for Trotwood-Madison City Schools; Tony Thomas, assistant superintendent for Northmont City Schools; and Dave Jackson, superintendent for Northridge Local Schools.
The forum moderator will be Albert Jordan, retired Dayton schools principal and chairman of the NAACP’s education committee.
The questions will focus mostly on school funding, academic performance and school safety, Jordan said.
On Dec. 14, 2012, a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children and six adults. The incident reignited the country’s discussion on gun control.
Even though the local area hasn’t experienced a situation to the height of what took place at Sandy Hook, local school officials still need to be vigilant when it comes to keeping their students safe, according to Jordan.
“I assure you that when the situation at Sandy Hook took place, I bet every principal sat down and started wondering, could that have happened in my school? What can I do to make sure it doesn’t happen in my school? ” he said.
One of the top priorities a school should have is to ensure a student is in a safe environment to learn, said Derrick Foward, NAACP president.
“Too many of our nation’s children have been victims of the unthinkable horror of massive school shootings,” he said.
Foward and Jordan said they believe the school officials represented at the forum can learn from each other, regardless of their academic ranking with the state.
“It’s always important to try and get better as a team,” Jordan said. “It’s just as important to understand why you’re winning, as it is for you to understand why you’re losing.”

Published: July 17, 2013
Rappelling through waterfalls, cascading down rock walls and diving into pristine pools is what Damien Briguet and Francois-Xavier De Ruydts do best and De Ruydts’ movie Down the Line, set in Squamish, captures it all.
The 22-minute film is being screened on Wednesday, July 17, at the Eagle Eye Theatre as part of the Squamish Mountain Festival.
It documents De Ruydts and his friends’ canyoneering excursions through remarkable, previously unexplored, geological structures in Squamish.
Canyoneering is an emerging sport that involves hiking, climbing, jumping, swimming and rappelling down and through canyons.
It’s better established in the Alps and in Utah, and although recent publicity has triggered an interest, canyoneering here is an activity championed by a select few.
“It’s still top secret,” said Robin Rainer, an employee at the Sea-to-Sky Adventure Company.
But thanks to De Ruydts, that’s beginning to change.
The photographer from Belgium learned canyoneering in Spain and France.
He’d found his niche in cave images and was eager to transition to canyons, but didn’t want to explore them himself.
He sought to establish a community of local adventurers, with limited success, but then a chance encounter led him to a fellow explorer and immediate friend.
De Ruydts was getting footage at Cypress Creek, a canyon on the North Shore, when he heard something below.
“I see this guy splashing down the stream, and, hello?” he recalled, chuckling.
It was seasoned canyoneer Damien Briguet from Switzerland.
Seeing one another was a surprise. Only three or four others were canyoneering in Squamish when De Ruydts got started.
“Most of these people learned canyoneering in Utah, in dry canyons, and then they tried to reproduce that in B.C.” De Ruydts
Waterfalls, deep pools and strong currents define canyoneering here.
Unlike Utah or Europe, B.C.’s canyons are wild, said Briguit.
“They’re not easily accessible, some haven’t been descended or haven’t been equipped, so it’s different here.”
The thrill of the unknown led the pair to try to find a canyon at Monmouth Creek, opposite Squamish River. They’d seen pictures online and sought it out.
After their descent they noticed a trickling creek coming down the mountain. Taking a chance, they followed it up, and were amazed by their discovery.
“That was 100 per cent unknown and it turned out to be the most amazing canyon we’ve ever found,” said De Ruydts.
In places the water was 50-metres deep, and the smooth, water-formed rock was incredibly narrow, just two- or three-metres in places. It was steep.
Unsure if they had long enough rope or where the next turn might take them, they kept on.
Down the Line tells the story of their descent through Box Canyon and the challenges they faced along the way.
Tickets to the Mountain Film Festival, featuring presentations and movies, are $15 in advance and $18 otherwise. Doors open at 6:30 for a 7:00 start.
The film can also be viewed for free at the Squamish Adventure Centre theatre.

Two teenagers from Barton County were taken to Clara Barton Hospital in Hoisington on Monday after a driver attempted to pass a semitrailer at the same time the semi driver was attempting to make a left-hand turn. Both the driver and passenger in a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer sustained minor injuries, while the semi driver reported no injury, according to the Barton County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash occurred at 3:37 p.m. at NW 90 Road and NW 10 Ave., southwest of Hoisington.
The Blazer was driven by Shane Schroeder, 16, of Hoisington and his passenger was Devon Mater, 17, of Odin. The 1994 Peterbilt truck tractor was pulling a flatbed trailer and the driver was Brent Beran, 57, from Odin.
Both vehicles were traveling south in the 900 block of NW 10 Ave. when Schroeder began to pass the semi. He told the BCSO deputy that the semi slowed down and he thought it was to let him pass.
Beran said he had his turn signal on and was at the start of his turn when the Blazer hit his vehicle. The Blazer rolled in the ditch and the two people inside got out on the passenger side and ran into a field to get away from the vehicle, which looked like it was smoking.
