Filipinos seen backing Duterte despite rising drug killings – ‘A necessary evil in the pursuit of a greater good’
MANILA: On the day he was sworn into office, President Rodrigo Duterte went to a Manila slum and exhorted residents who knew any drug addicts to “go ahead and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful.” Two months later, nearly 2,000 suspected drug pushers and users lay dead as morgues continue to fill up.
Faced with criticism of his actions by rights activists, international bodies and outspoken Filipinos, including the top judge, Duterte has stuck to his guns and threatened to declare martial law if the Supreme Court meddles in his work. According to a survey early last month, he has the support of nearly 91 percent of Filipinos.
The independent poll was done during his first week in office, and no new surveys have come out since then. National police chief Ronald dela Rosa told a Senate hearing this week that police have recorded more than 1,900 dead, including 756 suspected drug dealers and users who were gunned down after they resisted arrest. More than 1,000 other deaths are under investigation, and some of them may not be drug-related, he said. Jayeel Cornelio, a doctor of sociology and director of Ateneo de Manila University’s Development Studies Program, said he suspects only a few of Duterte’s supporters are disillusioned by the killings and his rhetoric because voters trust his campaign promise to crush drug criminals. They also find resonance in his cursing and no-holds-barred comments. Duterte’s death threats against criminals, his promise to battle corruption, his anti-establishment rhetoric and gutter humor have enamored Filipinos living on the margins of society.
He overwhelmingly won the election, mirroring public exasperation over the social ills he condemns. Economic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia has said the killings “may be a necessary evil in the pursuit of a greater good,” a sentiment echoed by a deluge of comments by Duterte supporters in social media deriding his critics and defending the brutal war on drugs. “The killings are OK so there will be less criminals, drug pushers and drug addicts in our society,” said Rex Alisoso, a 25-year-old cleaner in Manila. He said people have gotten used to the way Duterte talks and voted for him knowing his ways.
‘Penal populism’
Kim Labasan, a Manila shopkeeper, said she does not like Duterte’s constant swearing, his “stepping on too many toes,” and his decision to allow late dictator Ferdinand Marcos to be buried in the Heroes’ Cemetery. But she supports the anti-drug war despite the rising death toll because, she said, she has personally seen the effects of drugs.
Addicts in her hometown north of Manila have ended up with “poisoned brains” and even robbed her family’s home. “A battle of moralities is being waged right now by this administration – before, if you were a human rights advocate you are a hero of the country, now you are seen as someone who can destroy the country,” Cornelio said.
He said that Duterte fosters “penal populism” – identifying a particular enemy, a criminal, and then hunting him down to death. Because the results are visible, tangible and people feel it, “it becomes more important than many other things to the ordinary person.” Duterte has said drugs were destroying the country. In his State of the Nation Address last month, he said “human rights cannot be used as a shield or an excuse to destroy the country.” He also lashed out at US Ambassador Philip Goldberg, calling him gay in derogatory terms, after he criticized Duterte’s rape comments during the presidential campaign.
He threatened to pull the Philippines out of the United Nations because of U.N. comments condemning extrajudicial killings, saying he did not “give a shit” about the consequences. The following day, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay said the Philippines was not leaving the U.N. and Duterte made the comment only because he was tired, angry and frustrated.
Phelim Kine, Human Rights Watch’s deputy Asia director, said Duterte “is streamrolling the rule of law and its advocates both at home and abroad.” The killings suggest his aggressive rhetoric advocating extrajudicial solutions to criminality has found a receptive audience, Kine said. “His supporters are cheering him on, but wait till one of them is killed,” said Ferdie Monasterio, a driver of a ride-sharing company who doesn’t support Duterte. “He is no different from Marcos and it looks like he wants to establish a dictatorship.” Cornelio said the death toll is not the clincher in turning public sentiment against Duterte, because a lot of people look at them as justified killings. He said that Dutere’s first year in office will be crucial since he promised quick action. “I think the threshold has to do with the delivery of the promises,” he said. “Are changes going to happen sooner or later? If they don’t then, people will start getting disillusioned.” — AP

Kuwaiti swindled KD 10,000; Saudi, boyfriend arrested; Ethiopian dies
KUWAIT: A citizen was swindled by an Asian expat who convinced her of a business and then took her KD 10,000 and disappeared. The citizen told Jabriya police that an Asian took KD 10,000 in front of witnesses. Hawally detectives are working on the case.
Saudi, boyfriend arrested
Hawally Police have arrested a woman and her boyfriend. Drugs and a knife were found in their possession. Patrol officers stopped their car in order to check their IDs. The girl was found a Saudi citizen who was reported absconding.
Kidnapping and beating
The judge has refused to grant bails to two bedoons who were charged with kidnapping and beating a Saudi youth over a girl. The suspects videotaped the incident. The Public Prosecution earlier released the victim and the girl who published the clip over social media. The incident took place earlier this month, when a video clip was posted on the social media. Two bedoons were seen beating a Saudi. They recorded it so that the girl can see and hear what they were doing.
Ethiopian dies
An Ethiopian who was on the beach lost her life when waters swept her away while swimming. A security source received a call about a woman drowning in Kheiran waters, so police patrols and paramedics rushed to the area. The woman’s body was recovered by the paramedics.
‘Indecent gestures’
A woman has filed a complaint against an Egyptian man whom she accused of molesting her. She claimed the Egyptian invited her for a dinner at a restaurant in Nugra, after which they ended up in a family cabin. According to the woman, the man started making indecent gestures – trying to kiss her by force. She then screamed. The suspect escaped as customers and workers rushed to her rescue. Police are working on case. – Al Rai

Cheap gasoline, cheaper cars: An addictive mix
Petrol prices are going up by up to 80 percent next month, and even though they still are among the cheapest in the world, some habits may get upended. Of course, this does not mean the end of gas-guzzling SUVs or aimless cruising on the streets, but some changes may be afoot. It is no coincidence that a major transport company has launched a carpooling service in Kuwait, a first in the state. Uber it is not, but a positive development nevertheless.
Owning a car has never been a luxury in Kuwait. One can even consider it a necessity, as public transport coverage is patchy and the weather extremely harsh. Couple this with the cheap prices of fuel and used cars and you’ve got a situation where car ownership is only constrained by the difficulty in obtaining a driving license. In fact, one of my friends bought a used car recently for KD 75. Yes, only 75 dinars! The car had a litany of problems and needed a lot of repairs, but he got it up and running. Obviously, you get what you pay for, and a few days later, two of the car’s cylinders went bust. The guy still manages to drive it around, sputtering on its remaining four cylinders, but that’s another story.
Another of my friends made a very insightful observation on the reasons why used cars are so inexpensive in Kuwait, making them affordable even for the most marginal of laborers. This is not the case in neighboring Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where used cars can fetch nearly double the price compared to Kuwait. It all depends if the product is in demand by the locals, he said. If it is coveted by Kuwaitis, its price rises, and when it falls out of favor, its price falls. Interesting…
Notably, in a country where the roads are chockfull of cars with single occupants all heading in the same direction, some kind of carpooling has always existed among expats in Kuwait. This is evident when one goes through the ‘Transport Wanted’ and ‘Transport Available’ sections of the classifieds, both printed and online. So-called ‘private taxis’ had also been an option for long, but rigorous crackdowns by the interior ministry and instant deportations have more or less ended this service.
As the clock ticks down to the hike in the price of gasoline, it remains to be seen what changes it brings about to a car culture that is deeply ingrained in the psyche of this nation. I believe there will be a few positive developments, but only when everyone jumps on the public transport/ carpool/ridesharing bandwagon will there be a real difference. Until then, gnash your teeth at the pump, then promptly hit the gas to go to the baqala that’s just round the corner.

10,000th Syrian reaches US in resettlement program
AMMAN: The US will reach its target this week of taking in 10,000 Syrian war refugees in a year-old resettlement program, the US ambassador to Jordan said yesterday, after meeting families headed to California and Virginia. The resettlement program has emerged as an issue in the US presidential campaign, with Republican nominee Donald Trump alleging displaced Syrians pose a potential security threat. Alice Wells, the US ambassador to Jordan, said yesterday that keeping Americans safe and taking in some of the world’s most vulnerable people are not mutually exclusive.
“Refugees are the most thoroughly screened category of travelers to the United States, and Syrian refugees are subject to even greater scrutiny,” she said. Wells said the target of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US in the 2016 fiscal year will be reached Monday, as several hundred Syrians depart from Jordan over 24 hours. The Jouriyeh family, which attended Sunday’s short ceremony, is headed to San Diego, California. Nadim Fawzi Jouriyeh, 49, a former construction worker from the war-ravaged Syrian city of Homs, said he feels “fear and joy, fear of the unknown and our new lives, but great joy for our children’s lives and future.”
Jouriyeh, who suffers from heart problems, will be traveling with his wife, Rajaa, 42, and their four children. Their oldest son, 14-year-old Mohammed, said he is eager to sign up for school in San Diego and hopes to study medicine one day. The resettlement program focuses on the most vulnerable refugees, including those who were subjected to violence or torture or are sick. Close to 5 million Syrians have fled civil war since 2011. Most struggle to survive in tough conditions in neighboring countries, including Jordan, which hosts close to 660,000 Syrian refugees.
Only a small percentage of Syrian refugees have been resettled to third countries. Instead, donor countries are trying to invest more in job creation and education for refugees in regional host countries to encourage them to stay there instead of moving onward, including to Europe. Wells said the US has taken in more refugees from around the world over the years than all other nations combined. – AP

Nepal bans Indian police couple for faking Mount Everest climb
KATHMANDU: Nepal has imposed a 10-year mountaineering ban on an Indian couple who faked photographs purporting to show them at the top of Mount Everest, an official said yesterday. Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod, both police constables, said they reached the top of the world’s highest mountain on May 23. But fellow climbers cast doubt on their claim, saying their photos at the summit were doctored. Nepal’s tourism department initially certified their claim but later conducted an investigation.
“Our investigation shows that the couple faked their summit. We have imposed a 10-year ban against them from climbing any mountain in Nepal,” tourism department chief Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal said of the decision made on Monday.
Dhakal said an analysis of the photos submitted by the couple showed they had superimposed themselves and their banners onto photos taken by another Indian climber of his Everest summit. “Despite several attempts to get clarifications from them, they did not cooperate with us during the investigation. The two Sherpas that assisted them are also absconding,” Dhakal said. “The ban should serve as a warning for mountaineers to follow ethics,” he said.
Tourism ministry spokesman Ghanshyam Upadhyaya said the government is considering revising the procedure for certifying claims of an ascent. The current system demands photos, reports from team leaders and government liaison officers stationed at the base camp-but has been open to attempts at fakery. “We will consult experts to see what technologies or processes we can use and make every party more responsible to prevent such false claims in the future,” Upadhayaya said. Many of those who reach the top of the 8,848-metre (29,029-foot) mountain have gone on to make money or forge careers as motivational speakers and authors.
A total of 456 people, including more than 250 foreigners, summited Everest during the recently ended spring season, after two consecutive years of deadly disasters that led to almost all attempts being abandoned. Mountaineering is a major revenue-earner for the impoverished Himalayan nation. This year’s string of successful summits is expected to boost the industry, which was left reeling after an earthquake last year killed almost 9,000 people nationwide. Hundreds fled Everest last year after an earthquake-triggered avalanche at base camp killed 18 people. Only one climber reached the top in 2014 after an avalanche killed 16 Nepali guides that year.- AFP

Govt to settle hospital bills amid treatment abroad row – 11 controllers to be questioned; Paris health office ‘still open’
KUWAIT/PARIS: The government has approved a special budget estimated at KD 320 million to pay bills of hospitals in countries where citizens are sent for treatment as part of the state’s overseas treatment program. This step came to honor Kuwait’s agreement with foreign hospitals as part of the program, and to protect the state’s reputation, according to informed sources. The government stepped in at a time when the foreign and health ministries are at odds with regards to delayed payments that the latter says are yet to receive approval for from the former. The standoff between the health and finance ministries has caused Kuwait to struggle to pay dues owed to European and American hospitals where citizens are being treated under the treatment overseas program.
Meanwhile, 11 financial controllers will be questioned over accusations of delinquency and irregularities in the treatment abroad file, said sources familiar with the issue. The finance ministry had accused the health ministry of mismanagement, which led to squandering in the budget allocated for treatment abroad. However, the health ministry responded by saying that all funds were spent after receiving approval from independent financial controllers. As a result, an investigation was opened and 11 controllers were identified to be questioned, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Health ministry officials had warned in earlier reports that several hospitals could resort to legal action to demand a total of KD 150 million that Kuwait reportedly still owes them. The total amount of monthly allocations sent to patients abroad is KD 40 million, after being approved by a joint committee from the health and finance ministries. KD 300 million has been spent on treatment aboard during the period between Jan 1 and Aug 15, 2016, while KD 550 million was spent last year, Al-Qabas daily reported last week, adding that more than 12,000 citizens are sent for treatment abroad through the health ministry. The government had approved only KD 150 million for treatment abroad in the 2016/2017 fiscal year’s budget as part of austerity measures taken to offset the effects of a deficit as a result of a drop in oil prices.
Meanwhile, the head of Kuwait’s health office in Paris Dr Fahd Al-Rashidi refuted news reports on social media that claimed that the office has been closed, stressing that the office is still serving Kuwaiti citizens in Paris.The office’s doors are open to all Kuwaiti patients undergoing treatment in France, Rashidi told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) yesterday, expressing his thanks to the Kuwaiti Embassy in Paris for its relentless efforts. Furthermore, he said that the office has expanded its cooperation with French medical institutions in 13 different French cities to ensure better services for Kuwaiti patients.

Italy quake death toll nears 250 as rescuers search demolished towns – Many buried under rubble in their sleep
AMATRICE, ITALY: The death toll from a devastating earthquake in central Italy reached at least 241 people yesterday and could rise further after rescue teams worked through the night to try to find survivors under the rubble of flattened towns.
The 6.2 magnitude quake struck a cluster of mountain communities 140 km east of Rome early on Wednesday as people slept, destroying hundreds of homes. The Civil Protection department officially revised the death toll down to 241 from a previous 247 given earlier on Thursday morning.
Officials said they expected to confirm more deaths as the search operation continued. Trucks full of rubble left the area every few minutes, including one in which a dusty doll could be seen lying on top of ton of debris.
Yesterday, the sun rose on frightened people who had slept in cars or tents, the earth continuing to tremble under their feet from aftershocks, hundreds of which have struck since the quake. Two registered 5.1 and 5.4, just before dawn. “I haven’t slept much because I was really afraid,” said 70-year-old Arturo Onesi from the town of Arquata del Tronto, who spent the night in a tent camp for survivors and rescue workers.
On Thursday afternoon a violent aftershock measuring magnitude 4.3 sent rescuers fleeing from debris and stones that fell from the severely damaged bell tower of the 15th century church of St. Augustine in Amatrice. The aftershock, which struck fear and panic in survivors, detached the church’s facade, leaving it dangerously unstable over the main street where rescuers work.
The original earthquake was powerful enough to be felt in Bologna to the north and Naples to the south, both more than 220 km (135 miles) from the epicentre. Many of those killed or injured were holidaymakers in the four worst-hit towns – Amatrice, Pescara del Tronto, Arquata del Tronto and Accumoli – where seasonal visitors swell populations by up to tenfold the summer. That makes it harder to track the deaths.
One Spaniard, five Romanians, and a number of other foreigners, some of them care-givers for the elderly, were believed to be among the dead, officials said. Aerial video taken by drones showed swathes of Amatrice, last year voted one of Italy’s most beautiful historic towns, completely flattened. The town, known across Italy and beyond for a local pasta dish, had been filling up for the 50th edition of a popular food festival this weekend.
The mayor said the bodies of 15-20 tourists were believed to be under the rubble of the town’s Hotel Roma, which he said had about 32 guests when it collapsed on Wednesday morning.
Girl found alive
About 270 people injured in Wednesday’s quake were hospitalized, the Civil Protection department said, adding that about 5,000 people, including police, firefighters, army troops and volunteers, were involved in post-quake operations.
Rescuers working with emergency lighting in the darkness saved a 10-year-old girl, pulling her alive from the rubble where she had lain for about 15 hours. Many other children were not so lucky. A family of four, including two boys aged 8 months and 9 years, were buried when a church bell tower toppled into their house in nearby Accumoli.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s cabinet was meeting yesterday to decide emergency measures to help the affected communities. “Today is a day for tears, tomorrow we can talk of reconstruction,” he told reporters late on Wednesday.
The death toll appeared likely to rival or surpass that from the last major earthquake to strike Italy, which killed more than 300 people in the central city of L’Aquila in 2009. While hopes of finding more people alive diminished by the hour, firefighters’ spokesman Luca Cari recalled that survivors were found in L’Aquila up to 72 hours after that quake.
Most of the damage was in the Lazio and Marche regions, with Lazio bearing the brunt of the devastation and the biggest toll. Neighbouring Umbria was also affected. All three regions are dotted with centuries-old buildings susceptible to earthquakes. Italy sits on two fault lines, making it one of the most seismically active countries in Europe. The country’s most deadly earthquake since the start of the 20th century came in 1908, when an earthquake followed by a tsunami killed an estimated 80,000 people in the southern regions of Reggio Calabria and Sicily.-Reuters

Expats to pay own water bills
KUWAIT: The Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) plans to import 100,000 smart meters for water to be installed at apartment buildings and shops, simultaneously with a similar tender to buy and install electricity smart meters.
This project will allow the ministry to collect water fees directly from tenants individually, thus signaling a shift from the current system in which building owners mostly pay the water bill for the whole building.
Tenants, who are mostly expatriates, would thus be required to pay their own electricity and water bills through smart meters to be installed individually for each apartment. The ministry hopes to finish installing the meters in time when the new energy tariffs are implemented in April 2017. — Al-Rai

Mylan launching generic version of the EpiPen
NEW YORK: Mylan says it will make available a generic version of its EpiPen, as criticism mounts over the price of its injectable medicine. The company said yesterday that its US subsidiary will put out a generic version of the EpiPen that will have a list price of $300 for a two-pack – about half the current price. It will be available in both 0.15 mg and 0.30 mg strengths.
EpiPens are used in emergencies to treat severe allergies to insect bites and foods like nuts and eggs that can lead to anaphylactic shock. People usually keep a number of EpiPens handy at home, school or work. The syringes, prefilled with the hormone epinephrine, expire after a year.
Mylan N.V. said that it anticipates having the generic versions available in the next several weeks. It will continue to market and distribute a branded EpiPen.
The company charges $608 for a two-pack of the branded EpiPen. Mylan said it will keep in place the $300 savings card for the branded EpiPen and the revised patient assistance program announced last week.
Consumers and politicians have accused the company of price-gouging, considering that the product has been on the market since 1987 and the price didn’t start rising significantly until Mylan acquired it in 2007. There is also little competition, with the only rival product being Adrenaclick, which carries a list price of $461.
Mylan CEO Heather Bresch has defended the price hikes, saying the company only received $274 of the total price for a twin-package while insurers, pharmacies and other parties divvy up the rest.
People usually keep a number of EpiPens handy at home, school or work. The syringes, prefilled with the hormone epinephrine, expire after a year.
Numerous members of Congress and other politicians this week have called for congressional hearings on Mylan’s pricing, an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and action by the Food and Drug Administration to increase competition by speeding up approvals of any rival products.
At least two companies are trying to get US approval to sell a rival brand or generic version of EpiPen. None is likely to hit the US market until well into next year. Relief could come sooner from Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, a compounding pharmacy that prepares medicines to fill individual prescriptions. It said it might be able to sell a version in a few months and would likely charge around $100 for two injectors.-AP

Iraq requests Saudi envoy be changed
BAGHDAD: Iraq’s Foreign Ministry said the government yesterday formally requested that the Saudi ambassador in Baghdad be replaced after he claimed that Iranian-backed militias are plotting to assassinate him. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Jamal told AP that the government sent a formal request to Saudi Arabia to replace the kingdom’s ambassador in Baghdad, Thamer Al-Sabhan. Jamal said Sabhan’s reported comments are untrue and harm relations between the two countries. He said the allegations are considered interference in Iraq’s internal affairs and that Sabhan has not provided the ministry with any proof or evidence of these claims.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are regional rivals and broke off diplomatic ties in January after several years of frayed relations. In 2011, US authorities said they had disrupted an Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington at the time. Sabhan was quoted as telling the Saudi-owned Al-Hayat newspaper that Iraqi intelligence provided him with information about the assassination plans. He said this was happening as Iran tries to block reform efforts in Iraq and other Arab countries.
Sabhan was also quoted by the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news channel saying “sectarian radical groups” are behind the threats. The channel, quoting unnamed sources, alleged that Iranian-backed senior figures in Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Committee are among those behind the assassination plots and that they had given the Iraqi Foreign Ministry a deadline to expel Sabhan. In the Saudi-owned Ashraq Al-Awsat newspaper, an unnamed Iraqi official was quoted as saying militias were planning to attack the ambassador’s armored cars with rocket-propelled grenades.
In an interview aired on Iraqi channel Wesal TV, Aws Al-Khafaji, who heads the Iraqi militia group Abu al-Fadhl Al-Abbas, said many factions in Iraq want to target Sabhan. “If Sabhan was killed in Iraq, any factions involved would admit it, especially because he is wanted … We clearly stated that we do not want Sabhan in Iraq.” he said, before adding that if he were assassinated, “it will be an honor and will be proudly admitted.”
Sabhan, responding to messages expressing solidarity with him after the Iraqi announcement, tweeted: “I am a servant of this (Saudi) leadership which is seeking to assist the truth and the wellbeing of Muslims, may God preserve it.” In the interview on Al Arabiya, he said Saudi Arabia’s policies on Iraq would not change. “We have a very amicable relationship with Iraqi politicians that the media does not depict,” he added.
Sabhan, whose credentials were received in Jan 2016, became the first Saudi ambassador to Iraq in a quarter century, after relations were cut following ex-president Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. His posting got off to a rocky start however, with popular anger among in Iraq over the execution by Saudi Arabia a few days earlier of cleric Nimr Al-Nimr. Iraq has since been angered by the views Sabhan aired in the media and Jamal said the envoy was repeatedly urged to refrain from commenting publicly on Iraqi affairs. In January, Sabhan gave an interview in which he criticized the Tehran-backed militia that make up the bulk of the Hashed Al-Shaabi paramilitary force battling militants alongside Iraqi security forces.

Kuwaiti students seek best paying energy, banking jobs – Universum’s Middle East Talent Survey 2016
Kuwait’s upcoming pool of job-seekers has prioritized high wages as their main objective when choosing a career, a leading talent survey has revealed. Hundreds of university students were questioned by the international employment research company Universum, the majority of whom listed high future earnings as their leading career preference over factors including on-the-job training, opportunities to travel, and a creative work environment.
The findings show that Kuwait-based employers must offer competitive salaries in line with graduate expectations if they are to secure the best of the country’s emerging talent pool.
Kuwait was one of six countries surveyed as part of the company’s Middle East Talent Survey 2016, along with the UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Conducted over a six-month period, the research uncovers university students’ attitudes about employers and what drives their career decision-making.
Key insight
Claudia Tattanelli, Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board at Universum, said: “The findings offer employers a key insight into the priorities of Kuwait-based students. Firms that offer leadership opportunities, an innovative working environment, and the chance to travel overseas will be popular among graduates. However, they may miss out on the top talent if they are unable to offer the most competitive salaries.” Universum is a global leader in employer attractiveness research and insights.
The company delivers a range of services to empower employers to better attract, recruit and retain talent. Its Kuwait survey gathered responses from 709 male and female students in five universities throughout the country. The majority of respondents were studying in fields related to banking/commerce, followed by engineering/IT and humanities/liberal arts/education/law.
High earnings
When asked what they looked for in their future employers, the majority of respondents across genders and degree subjects said they sought high future earnings, followed by on-the-job training and a company that respects its staff.
Comparing priorities between genders, women highly-rated opportunities for overseas travel and the need for a creative working environment, while men listed ‘respect for its people’ and ‘prestige’ as other key preferences. The desire for performance recognition was another leading preference among business/commerce and engineering/IT students. In terms of respondents’ personal career goals, the desire for work/life balance was a leading ambition among business/commerce students.
The objective to be creative and entrepreneurial jumped four places from Universum’s 2015 survey to rank second, making it a more desirable goal than job security and leadership opportunities. When asked to name their favored career industries, more than half of business/commerce students chose the banking sector, followed by professional services. When naming their ideal employer, the majority of respondents studying these subjects chose Kuwait Oil Company. Google, Kuwait Investment Authority and National Bank of Kuwait were also highly sought after companies to work for, the survey found.
Career goal
Turning to engineering/IT students, the ambition to be creative and entrepreneurial was the most commonly mentioned personal career goal, jumping four places from the 2015 survey. The majority of engineering/IT students chose the energy sector as the industry they would ideally work in after graduating. Engineering and manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and software and computer services were also popular choices. Kuwait Oil Company was the top choice among engineering/IT students with close to half of respondents selecting the energy giant. Google, Apple, Q8 and Microsoft made up the top five.
“The survey reveals that employers face a daunting task if they are to attract the best graduates away from Kuwait Oil Company,” said Tattanelli. “However, our survey has revealed that more and more Kuwaiti students are seeking the chance to be creative and innovative in their careers, which is something that smaller companies can offer. “The Universum survey is a crucial tool in helping employers get an insight into what students are prioritizing in their future careers and enabling companies to match what they offer to student expectations.”

Ministry of Commerce monitoring fish prices
KUWAIT: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has stressed that the trade control and consumer protection’s emergency teams are monitoring the daily prices of goods, mainly fish. The teams are working regularly to control prices of all goods, including fish, and make sure of their validity and the absence of any violations, the Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for trade control and consumer protection Eid Al-Rashidi said in an interview yesterday. The teams carried out operations at dawn to control prices of imported fish and take all measures against violators, he said.
The inspectors managed to seize up to 84 kilograms of invalid fish at Souq Al-Mubarakeya last week, he noted. He said that the Ministry receives all complains at the hotline: 135 and via its websites on social media, indicating that all the State’s institutions are paying much attention to the issues pertaining to goods, in particular fish, to meet satisfaction of consumers. He emphasized that the Ministry holds meetings constantly with the Kuwait Fishermen Union and fish importers to solve all problems. The ministry has recently registered 350 violations against a number of companies and commercial shops since issuing the decision to lift fuel subsidy. — KUNA

Public transport, taxi fares revised as petrol prices rise – New tariffs increase based on distance travelled
KUWAIT: Long lines of cars snaked out of gas stations yesterday, as motorists rushed to fill up before petrol prices go up tomorrow, Sept 1. While government officials have reassured the public that prices of basic commodities and services will not be increased, Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khalid Al-Sabah yesterday issued ministerial decisions setting new tariffs for taxis and public transport. The new charges are based on the distance travelled.
According to the new amendments that go into effect tomorrow, public transport fares range from 150 fils within Kuwait City to as much as 600 fils to Jahra and Ahmadi. Travelling from Kuwait City on public transport to border areas will cost KD 2.500.

Four top Interior Ministry officials retired
KUWAIT: Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Sabah issued decisions to retire Major General Mahmoud Al-Tabbakh, Major General Abdullah Al-Ali, Brig Abdelrahman Al-Suhail and Major General Faisal Al-Seneen. The decision included the promotion of the major generals to lieutenant generals and the brigadier to major general.
Price control
Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor’s Undersecretary Matar Al-Mutairi said inspection teams have been formed in all governorates to follow and monitor prices in cooperatives and submit regular reports on the results in order to take legal action. Mutairi said this step comes in implementation of the Cabinet decision asking social affairs and commerce ministries to check prices to make sure that the gasoline price hike will not be used to increase other prices by some businesses.
Reduced rents
Official spokesman of Public Authority for Housing Welfare Ibrahim Al-Nashi said West Abdullah al-Mubarak project, which includes 5,201 lots, is one of the biggest residential areas built by PAHW, adding that most residents will build three floors that includes at least two flats in each plot, which will add nearly 15,000 flats in the market, and this will reduce rents in the country. Nashi said the distribution mechanism of building permits are linked to the municipality, adding that the PAHW is interested in the actual date of completion, preceded by coordination with the Ministry of Electricity and Water, besides contacts with the Kuwait Credit Bank in order to get real estate loans, which will be in November.

Wadena-Deer Creek head coach Sue Volkmann finds herself with an unusual challenge as the 2016 volleyball season commences.
The veteran coach will be working on improving a 4-3 Park Region Conference mark and a 6-22 overall record without any seniors. The upperclassmen of this year's team will be juniors Casey Volkmann, Lila Lohmiller, Ellie Miron and Katlyn Heaton.
Volkmann played outside hitter for the Wolverines last year. The youngest of the talented Volkmann sisters had some big games for the Wolverines last year. She was credited with 29 kills in a September contest with Perham. Volkmann also helped the Wolverines with her defensive play and serving.
Lohmiller was a defensive specialist in her sophomore year. Miron, blessed with 5-11 height, was an outside hitter. Heaton was a spark for the Wolverines as an outside hitter.
Ashley Adams, Kyla Ness, Aly Daigneault and Kylie Hopp come from the sophomore ranks. Adams was a setter last year while Ness played defense, Daigneault lined up as a middle hitter and Hopp was employed as an outside hitter.
WDC's lone freshman this season is 5-11 Kennedy Gravelle. The middle hitter is expected to be one of the team's top blockers this season.
New to the varsity will be sophomore Sophie Kreklau and freshmen Courtny Warren and MacKenzie Carsten.
"This team is very dedicated to volleyball and has a great work ethic," Volkmann said. "I feel we can improve on last year's record and by tournament time we hope to be competitive in our section."
The Wolverines will host Section 8AA foe Pequot Lakes in a 7:30 p.m. season opener Aug. 30.

The summer has flown by and school is looming. With the beginning of the school year comes the multiple sports practices and games and hectic schedules. It can be difficult to put a healthy dinner on the table during the week. I have begun putting together my freezer meals that are a lifesaver on those busy days. I just pull one out the night before or in the morning and put it into my crockpot for a hot, delicious meal. This recipe for Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a favorite freezer meal of our family. I can set the timer and forget about it. Enjoy!

I thoroughly stand with John Finnegan's letter in a past paper. Both sides have to wake up and think about what is happening now and what will happen down the road. They have caused people to want them out of office come election time as they have not stood against evil pronounced upon the people.
We all need to write to our people voted into office and not let them slide through doing against us. We are the employers and they are the servants to the people. Ever notice, give, give, to get the message to those we have voted in to do the right thing. If they want to serve they must follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights, best in the world, if not, they shouldn't be accepted as candidates. It should be in the desk and pocket of everyone in office so they can check it and not try and change it. Some want the Constitution out as it holds them back from harm against us. God knows the future and most came from the Bible, so never gets outdated.
Being liable for those they bring in, is where it must lie, as people have said no. Not out of hate, but out of knowledge of why they are brought in and why they don't want to assimilate. I have known, worked with true refugees and a true refugee is thankful, learns the language and is not demanding. They were God fearing (and thankful to him too), loving people.
Maxine Erickson,
Wadena

Illnesses, hospitalization can permanently worsen dementia
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Dear Carol: Can illnesses make someone with Alzheimer's worse? My mother had been diagnosed to be in an early stage of Alzheimer's disease but she still got along very well. Mom then developed a cold which was followed by a UTI and then pneumonia, so we had to have her hospitalized. The whole experience was terrible.
Mom's physical issues were eventually taken care of by antibiotics and she seems all right physically, but she's much more confused than before and her short-term memory has deteriorated markedly. I'm wondering what caused this big change so quickly.
The doctor said that since Alzheimer's is progressive it's hard to tell. He's guiding us toward looking for a memory unit for Mom since she lives alone and I can't quit my job to take care of her at home. We knew this would eventually come, but since her illnesses and hospitalization the need to move her is frightfully close. Is this a common occurrence? —STC
Dear STC: My heart goes out to you! To have seen your mom go through so much misery only to emerge with her dementia worsened has got to be distressing. I'm very sorry for you both.
Illness and infection, as well as broken bones, surgery and other traumatic physical challenges including bad falls, can tip a person who shows no dementia symptoms into sometimes temporary, but often permanent, cognitive decline. People like your mother who are already displaying symptoms can advance to the next stage quite abruptly.
I've had some personal experience with this. My mother-in-law was in what was probably mid-stage dementia. She developed a stubborn form of pneumonia which was cured after a long period of increasingly potent antibiotics. Following her recovery from pneumonia, however, her cognitive health was so changed that she could no longer interact with friends at the nursing home, recognize family members or take part in many of the activities she had previously enjoyed before her illness.
Hospital stays can be extremely confusing and often frightening to many elders, especially those who are already becoming disoriented by dementia. Therefore, whenever elders can be treated at home, whether that home is with the family or in a nursing home, the outcome is generally more positive than when they are hospitalized. Still, avoiding hospitals isn't always an option, as you saw, and many elders are hospitalized and come out with a good result. Others may have some confusion or even delirium for a time because of the trauma of the illness and the strange surroundings in a hospital, yet they eventually return to their normal state. Still others, like your mom, continue on with the downward spiral.
We can only do our best. Your mother would eventually have gone into this new stage no matter what you did or didn't do. The other illnesses simply hastened the process.
It's time now to listen to your doctor and move forward. Continue to do your best for her during this tough time and remember to take care of yourself along the way.
A reminder to readers as flu season approaches: If you have any reason to believe that you are coming down with the flu, stay away from elderly people in general and care facilities in particular. Infecting just one person could have disastrous effects in a group of elders. The flu shot is a must for caregivers unless there are health problems of your own that prohibit it.

Zebra mussels confirmed in Otter Tail Lake
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
A swimmer found a single zebra mussel in the huge Otter Tail Lake in west-central Minnesota, but a search of 3,000 other objects in the lake didn't find anymore, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Yet, the DNR added the Otter Tail County lake to the list of five more central Minnesota lakes deemed "infested lakes."
Infested waters signs have also been posted at DNR accesses on West Battle Lake in Otter Tail County, Lake Florida in Kandiyohi County, Pocket Lake in Douglas County and a network of abandoned mine pits in Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area in Crow Wing County near Brainerd.
"While any new infestation is serious, it's important to note that more than 98 percent of Minnesota lakes are not listed as infested with zebra mussels," said Ann Pierce, section manager for the DNR's ecological and water resources division. "Boaters and anglers, DNR-trained watercraft inspectors and enforcement officers, lake associations and many others are working to keep it that way."
After the swimmer found a zebra mussel on a native clam in Otter Tail Lake, the DNR invasive species dive team searched 3,000 other objects in two different searches but said they did not find any other zebra mussels. They continue to conduct dock and lift searches, and ask the public to check their equipment and contact the DNR to report anything suspicious.
In the other Otter Tail lake - West Battle Lake - DNR staff found one adult zebra mussel in the area of an initial citizen report and three adult zebra mussels about three miles away. The DNR said they will monitor downstream lakes in Glendalough State Park.
DNR researchers found zebra mussel veligers or larvae in Lake Florida while doing other work in the lake. Veligers can be inadvertently but illegally transported in water from an infested lake as ballast, in live wells or in bait water.
A swimmer reported a zebra mussel in Pocket Lake near Alexandria. No other zebra mussels were found during snorkel searches by DNR invasive species staff, while connected lakes downstream have had relatively heavy infestations for some time.
Divers contacted the DNR upon finding numerous zebra mussels in two abandoned mine pits in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area near Crosby in north-central Minnesota. The DNR is surveying other mine pits in the area. Divers and all lake users are reminded to carefully clean and check their gear when leaving or entering any lake or moving from pit to pit, whether or not it is infested.
Reports from citizens are frequently the first indication of a new infestation, and the DNR said it appreciates the partnership of lake users, county watershed districts and lake associations.
The DNR reminds boaters to clean their watercraft of aquatic plants and prohibited invasive species, drain all water by removing drain plugs and keeping them out during transport and dispose of unwanted bait in the trash.
In 2016, there are more DNR-trained watercraft inspectors and more decontamination units on Minnesota lakes than ever before. Watercraft inspectors check to ensure that boaters and anglers follow clean, drain, dispose laws and may deny access if necessary. Decontamination stations provide a free process of removing aquatic plants and animals.

Do youth see God and religion as irrelevant?
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
In the summertime, the faithful youth of the world gather.
Last month, millions of young Christians convened in Poland for World Youth Day - an event begun in 1985 by Pope John Paul II.
I've often lamented missing the boat on World Youth Day. By the time I learned of its existence, my ship had sailed. But I'm grateful to know these events are happening and igniting the souls of our youth - our future.
Though likely the largest such gathering, World Youth Day has plenty of smaller siblings.
The same weekend of this year's main event, I traveled to St. Paul for a regional youth rally, attending as a chaperone with 1,800 young people. A Lutheran pastor-friend recently attended a similar gathering in Colorado with 1,100 youth there.
Through our experiences, we each brushed shoulders with what World Youth Day must be like. And though with not nearly the diversity of language and culture, our respective gatherings certainly matched the larger one in spirit.
Though I grasp for just the right words to express such a soul-spiking event, exhilarating, hope-filled and life-giving can be a start.
While reading social-media updates from fellow conference attendees afterward, I caught some World Youth Day updates, too, including photos showing a vast sea of multi-colored attire of young people from all corners of the Earth, each praising God together.
"The Church is irrelevant, they said. Young people aren't religious, they said," one such post began. "Today in Krakow, over 2 million young people disagreed while celebrating Mass with the Pope."
I nodded, reliving memories of the weekend past.
But further on in the thread, a "Davy Downer" interrupted the party, noting "well-studied trends" showing young people are losing their religion. We need to admit most teenagers at World Youth Day likely were just out to have a good time, he contended, and hold beliefs paralleling their lackluster peers.
I couldn't help but wonder what the fired-up teens I'd just met would say in response.
As a chaperone at the St. Paul event, I had a chance to converse with some of the adolescents to encourage dialogue about the experience. I was touched by their recognition of God in their lives, expressions of a need for more, gratitude for God's limitless love for them, and a desire to live a life of purpose in response.
Perhaps young people are giving up on God. But it could also just be that the world has given up on them, numbing their natural desire to encounter this loving, living presence, presenting deflections to turn their heads from what is most real.
Many who do encounter God report finding a consistency, solidity and true love unlike anything the world gives. The culture, while presenting plenty of flashy promises, brings instead so many empty ones and ultimately, death without hope.
At the Steubenville North conference, I observed teens with a thirst for something more. I saw their hearts open and tears flowing. I watched them dance freely, hands raised up, the masks and walls they'd been living with dismantled, pure joy on their faces. I caught them giggling to realize God pursues them relentlessly, and will never let them down.
Through them, with God's power, the world can be set aright.
After the weekend, their troubles undoubtedly awaited. But there's no doubt some of these young souls were changed permanently, as with youth in Poland.
My own life testifies to this; this very column witnesses to it. I, too, encountered God at a retreat as a teenager, which set me on a path that, despite bumps along the way, has kept me grounded in God, and led me here.
The Lord has only become more real and relevant to me over time, but remembering how it all started at 16 brings me hope for these young people.
The surveys indicate the culture has a tighter grip on our youth than God. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I'm betting the majority of those who've had one of these awe-inspiring experiences will never be the same, for the better and benefit of all.
Statistics can illuminate the apparent movement of something based on outside observation, but they cannot uncover the fire of a soul set ablaze. They can react but not always predict.
Perhaps we should just ask the youth themselves. Is God a life-giving reality to you, or completely unmoving? If the second, I dare you to seek God and see for yourselves. If the first, I dare you to prove it.
Life isn't always easy, but with God at your back, you can transform the world. Go with courage and light, proving the limits of statistics, showing them to be dead wrong.
The world awaits - and is counting on - your passionate zeal.

Miller named Pioneer Journal publisher
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
The Wadena Pioneer Journal welcomed new publisher Jason Miller to its team last week.
Miller has years of experience working for Forum Communications Company, starting in The Forum's sports department in 1999. He worked as a sports editor, deputy editor and presentation editor for The Forum during that time. Most recently, he was the manager of Forum Communications' Design Center.
In his new role, he will oversee operations at the Pioneer Journal and Perham Focus.
"I'm thrilled to be the new publisher of the Pioneer Journal," Miller said. "I'm looking forward to working with the fantastic staff to help them continue to serve the Pioneer Journal's readers and advertisers."
Miller attended Concordia College in Moorhead and lives in Detroit Lakes.
Outgoing publisher Melissa Swenson has taken over as publisher and advertising director of the Detroit Lakes Tribune.
Swenson brings with her 17 years of experience within Forum Communications Company, starting her FCC career in October of 1999 as the regional marketing director for the Lakes Group, based out of Detroit Lakes.
Swenson was then promoted to advertising manager in Perham, New York Mills and Wadena (all FCC properties) before being promoted again to publisher of the Perham Focus. More recently Swenson also took on the role of publisher at the Wadena Pioneer Journal.
"Naming Melissa Swenson as publisher of the Detroit Lakes Newspapers was the perfect match in the qualities we need in leadership, knowledge and experience for the newspaper, staff and community," said Jody Hanson, publisher of the FCC Lakes Group. "I look forward to partnering with her on her new role."
Swenson says being the publisher of the Detroit Lakes Newspapers has been a professional goal of hers for many years but she has also enjoyed her time in Wadena.
"It is a bitter-sweet change for me. Working at the PJ and watching the talented staff work together to publish a top-notch weekly newspaper has been an honor. I will miss the people and the work, but know that the new Publisher, Jason, will do an excellent job."

Cruel words - and rocks - thrown at local legislative candidates
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Although for years it wasn't normal for encounters between local legislative candidates and the public to turn nasty, several incidents so far in 2016 have veered from that standard.
Meg Litts, a DFL candidate for House District 9A, was recently on the receiving end of vitriol she never expected. During a parade in Verndale on July 30, Litts had a group of people say rude things and refuse to shake her hand. Litts had seen the same behavior while campaigning at previous parades, but nothing of what happened next was familiar. As she was crossing the street away from the rude group of people, she felt a handful of pea-sized rocks hit her back. Then another.
Litts said the people she was walking toward laughed and cheered as the rocks were thrown from the crowd on the opposite side of the street.
Litts, who is director of Discovery Woods Montessori School in Brainerd, said the incident displayed the classic hallmarks of children's bullying.
"All three elements were present," she said. "There were the bullies, throwing the rocks. There were the bystanders, who were kind of the 'buddies,' they were cheering and laughing. And then here there were the people who just said nothing, did nothing, just let it happen."
Although the rocks didn't hurt in a physical sense, Litts said, she was reminded of being bullied as a nine-year-old girl. Her voice cracked as she said it made her remember what she felt when her parents told her how to cope with her daily walk to school.
"'Look straight ahead, don't look at them, don't say anything, just keep walking, keep your head up,'" she recalled them saying.
Last Monday, her house in Staples was egged. Since the house is set back from the road, she figures the vandals had to cross onto her property to do it. There's no family name on their mailbox by the road, but her home address appears on her campaign literature, she said.
Staples Police Chief Melissa Birkholtz, a 16-year veteran of the force, said she could not remember a similar incident occurring there before.
"Occasionally we'll have a call where somebody's political sign is stolen, something like that," she said. "But where it's an actual political candidate, we don't typically have anything."
Although Litts suspects the egging was politically motivated, Birkholtz said, it's unclear whether it was.
John Poston, Litts' GOP opponent for the House District 9A seat, said while he's had people refuse to shake his hand, nothing as bad as what happened to Litts has happened to him. He said he was shocked after she told him about it.
"Probably 98 percent of the people that I walk up to in parades or at the fair or at a community event or knocking on doors are polite and friendly," he said. "There's just very, very few that because they belong to a different party, they just don't want to shake your hand or talk to you."
Someone recently threatened to shoot Rep. Josh Heintzeman, R-Nisswa, if he came into their yard.
"I checked in with a few people, and this individual is likely harmless, so I didn't do anything about it," he said. "But it's not fun getting those kinds of comments."
He said the incident isn't characteristic of the conversations he has generally. With constituent emails Heintzeman receives, "99 percent" of them are reasonable, although exceptions included the issues of muskie stocking and transgender people in locker rooms and dressing areas, he said.
Quinn Nystrom, Heintzeman's DFL challenger, said trackers showed up on multiple occasions at Baxter city council meetings - since she's a member of the council - to confront Nystrom and film her. "They've never been there before" she ran for legislature, she said.
"That becomes unnerving," she said.
As to what happened to Litts, Nystrom said it was "disheartening" and could stymie potential candidates, especially younger people, from running for office in the future.
"Millennials need to say 'We're not going to do this kind of negative talk, this negative behavior'" she said. "If you don't want to vote for somebody, that's fine. But, to throw rocks, egg a house, kind of unnerve people ... I don't think that's what you need to do to win an election."

England Prairie Show Days return this weekend
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
The England Prairie Pioneer Grounds are ready for the annual show days once again. England Prairie Show Days is the third week in August each year.
The England Prairie Pioneer Club was incorporated in 1981 with a mission to preserve the history and heritage of the farming industry in this area and to share that knowledge with others. That same year the club purchased a 60 acre site in Section 26 of Wadena Township in Wadena County. Members of the club were people for whom farming was a way of life.
Even in the 1940s and 50s, farm life in rural Minnesota was still close to the way the early pioneers lived. Electricity had just arrived in rural communities. Roads were being paved and many homes had telephones and radios. But most farmers could still remember what it was like before those modern conveniences.
The people who formed the England Prairie Pioneer Club wanted to make sure that history would be remembered. Over the years they have acquired, maintained and exhibited historical farm machinery and artifacts from the early days of farming.
The 10-acre building site where activities are held on show days each year is a beautiful, rolling area with many stately oak trees. The buildings are a mix of utility buildings built in the 1980s and some historic buildings that had been moved onto the site.
The current exhibit building was formerly an 'ice-house' located on the railroad property in Staples. To move it, the building was cut in half lengthwise, and then crosswise, in order to fit on trailers for transportation. One half of the building was first used as a saloon but after it was decided to have no liquor on the grounds, it became the exhibit building. The other half became a small engine shed.
Another historic building is an original depot from the town of Philbrook, which was once located east of Staples. In all, the site included more than 20 buildings plus a windmill.
The agricultural acreage of the England Prairie site is farmed and an area is set aside for demonstrating the threshing machine and silo filler. When available, there are demonstrations of horse-drawn machinery.

The man killed was identified as Richard D. Van Horn, the Minnesota State Patrol reported.
The state patrol and the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office responded to the fatality at 1:40 a.m. It was reported Van Horn was driving a Chevy truck westbound on Highway 210 when it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a semitrailer pulling a utility trailer. The Chevy went into the ditch and rolled, the state patrol reported.
The driver of the semitrailer, Richard J. Poole, 58 of Superior, Wis., was transported to Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd for non-life threatening injuries.
Man's body recovered from Minnesota lake
Divers recovered the body of a missing boater on Monday near Melrose, a day after a 47-year-old Meire Grove man was thrown from the watercraft.
Dale Urban Steinemann was in the boat with his girlfriend's two sons, ages 10 and 7. The boys were reportedly wearing life vests and were not hurt in the accident, said the Stearns County Sheriff's Office in a press release.
The children were taken to Melrose Hospital for evaluation.
A witness on Sunday called the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, reporting that she and other witnesses heard the sound of a boat motor clearing the water and when they looked out to the lake they saw a speed boat on its side and watched as an occupant was thrown from the craft, according to the release.
The boat capsized and witnesses responded to the accident, and were able to pull the boys to safety.
Stearns County deputies and the Melrose Rescue Squad, using watercraft and divers, began searching for Steinemann. The search resumed Monday, with assistance from the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office Dive Team and their sonar unit. Divers were able to locate the body.
Steinemann's body will be transported to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's' Office for an autopsy.
Artists can enter pheasant stamp competition
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is looking for artists to design the state's pheasant stamp.
The pheasant stamp validation for hunting is $7.50 and is required for pheasant hunters ages 18 to 64.
For an extra 75 cents, purchasers can receive the validation as well as the pictorial stamp in the mail. It also is sold as a collectible. Revenue from stamp sales is dedicated to pheasant management and habitat work.
The ring-necked pheasant must be the primary focus of the design, though other species may be included in the design if they are used to depict common interactions between species or are common inhabitants of Minnesota's pheasant range.
Artists are prohibited from using any photographic product as part of their finished entries. Winning artists may issue limited edition prints of the artwork and retain proceeds.
Final judging is open to the public and will take place at 2 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 22, at DNR headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road in St. Paul. The public is welcome to come and view the winning design 10 a.m. to noon, Friday, Sept. 23.
Missing Osakis man found dead in vehicle along I-94, family confirms
The family of Alan Michael Thomas, the missing man from Osakis, has confirmed that a body found in a vehicle along Interstate 94 is his.
In a statement on the "Bring Alan Home!" Facebook page, a family member posted the following: "On behalf of family, we are sad to inform everyone that the search for Alan has come to a tragic end. Alan was found in his vehicle, which was upside down in a ravine not far from Osakis. We will inform everyone once we have more information. Thank you so much for all of your prayers."
Shortly after 2 p.m. Aug. 22, the Minnesota State Patrol responded to a report of an overturned vehicle in a ravine along Interstate 94 near West Union. The vehicle had been spotted by someone with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
When troopers arrived, they found a deceased male party inside the vehicle, which was a 2008 Toyota Scion. Upon investigation of the scene, it was determined that the Scion was traveling westbound on I-94 at about milepost 121 when it veered off the road to the right and overturned and landed upside down in the ravine, according to the State Patrol report. The report also stated that it is believed the vehicle and the occupant have been there for a long period of time. The body was taken to Midwest Medical for positive identification.
The investigation is still ongoing and more information should be released on Tuesday. The Todd County Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation.
Thomas had been missing since Aug. 4 when family members said he traveled to Blaine to visit friends.

Vikings fear serious injury as Bridgewater taken away by ambulance
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went down with an apparently serious injury during practice on Tuesday and was taken away by ambulance.
The third-year quarterback didn’t appear to be touched when he went down in the pocket and grabbed his left knee.
The team canceled practice after about 25 minutes and an ambulance was called. All but a few players surrounding a prone Bridgewater left the field. Linebacker Eric Kendricks threw his helmet to the ground and cursed; running backs Adrian Peterson, Matt Asiata and receiver Adam Thielen locked arms and appeared to pray for their teammate.
The Vikings have two healthy quarterbacks after releasing quarterback Brad Sorensen on Tuesday, backup Shaun Hill and former Wisconsin starter Joel Stave.
The Vikings scheduled a press conference with coach Mike Zimmer at 4 p.m.
Before the injury, the Vikings’ biggest task was cutting the roster to 75 players by the NFL deadline of 3 p.m. They also are reportedly shopping veteran center John Sullivan, who was not at practice on Tuesday.
Also missing were safeties Michael Griffin and Antone Exum, and defensive tackle Scott Crichton, all of whom are injured.
Injured players not practicing but present were tackle Matt Kalil, cornerback Xavier Rhodes, wide receiver Charles Johnson and running back Jerick McKinnon.

Political campaign signs not permitted on state highway rights of way
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Placement of campaign and other advertising signage on any highway rights of way is not allowed under state law, reminds the Minnesota Department of Transportation. All state, county, city and township roads and highways fall under the same state law.
Highway rights of way include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches and sight corners at intersections.
Also, landowner consent is needed before signs are placed on private property outside of the right of way.
MnDOT crews are required to remove unlawfully placed signs and impound them at one of its local maintenance truck stations.
Violation of the law (Minn. Stat. 160.27) is a misdemeanor. Civil penalties also may apply if the placement of signage contributes to a motor vehicle crash and injures a person or damages a motor vehicle that runs off the road.
The Minnesota Outdoor Advertising Control Act (Minn. Stat. 173.15) also prohibits placing advertising materials on public utility poles, trees and shrubs, and painting or drawing on rocks or natural features.
When improperly placed signs are removed by MnDOT, every effort is made to temporarily store the sign and notify the owner where the signs can be retrieved.
For information about the proper placement of campaign signs or where to retrieve signs, contact the area MnDOT office at (218) 846-3600. See also www.mndot.gov/govrel/rw_signs.html.
When placing signs, the best way to avoid an emergency or unintentionally striking an underground facility is to call 811 before digging, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Go to the GSOC website at www.gopherstateonecall.org and request that underground utilities be marked near the area of the digging.

Personal bests are the biggest goal of the 2016 Wadena-Deer Creek cross country teams.
"Our basic goal is to pursue personal best race times while trying to equal or better our team rankings in the Mid-State, Park Region and Section 8A," WDC head coach Mike Brunsberg said.
The Wolverines logged a strong season in 2015 despite failing to qualify anyone for state competition. Toby Wood was only three seconds away from a state trip. Wood has graduated along with Jimmy Kim, Hannah Vorderbruggen and Briana Malone.
The ranks are still strong in both the boys and girls' ranks.
Senior Konnor Stueve and junior Noah Ross will co-captain the boys' team. Sophomores on the team will include Isaac Hale, Wyatt Peterson and Nick Soroko. Freshman runners will be Lucas Hinojos, Bereket Loer, Mason Snyder, Isaac Ries and Josh Tabery. Corbett Wensmann is the team's lone eighth-grader. Seventh-graders will include Jace Griffis and Connor Lind.
The WDC boys finished third in the Park Region Conference and fourth in the Mid-State last year.
Gabi Ross will captain the girls' team. Ross will be joined by juniors Jezebel Snyder and Tiffany Meeks, sophomores Abby Motschenbacher, Elissa Ikola, Samantha Malone, McKenna Wangsness and MacKenzie Salge, freshman Eve Collins, eighth-grader Hailey Peterson and seventh-graders Johanna Brunsberg and Emma Ries.
Motschenbacher was voted Honorable Mention in the Mid-State Conference.
Brunsberg expects Pequot Lakes and Detroit Lakes to field the top boys' teams in the Mid-State while park Rapids, Detroit Lakes and Pequot Lakes field the strongest girls' squads. Pequot is expected to dominate the Park Region.
The Wolverines will compete in the United North Central Invitational Aug. 29. They will host the Johanna Olson Invitational Sept. 6 at Whitetail Run.

State legislature frozen in dysfunction
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
St. Paul seems to be holding its customary winter celebration in August. The state Capitol remains frozen in dysfunction as Gov. Mark Dayton and the legislative leaders of both parties continue their slow-motion - glacial - feud over the tax and bonding bills. The ice palace now has crumbled with the collapse of talks on taxes and a bonding bill. Dayton announced that he will not call a special session. As a result, Minnesotans will not benefit from $500 million in tax cuts or almost $1 billion in public works projects, including a much-needed traffic underpass in Moorhead.
The failure to agree on an agenda for a special session has major consequences throughout the state, including the loss of $700 million in funding for some of Minnesota's most dangerous highways and bridges. Unfunded priority projects include a project to allow street traffic to pass beneath rail traffic at an intersection near Main Avenue and 20th Street in Moorhead, where motorists - including police, fire and ambulance crews - often must wait for trains to pass.
As a result of the evaporated tax cuts, Minnesota farmers won't get a break to lighten their burden in paying property taxes for school projects.
As happened at the end of the regular legislative session in May, the governor and legislative leaders deadlocked over whether to include funding for a light rail project to serve the southwestern Twin Cities in the bonding bill. Dayton and many of his fellow DFLers kept pushing for the rail project, but House Republicans refused to go along with the project. The governor and legislative leaders of both parties bemoaned what a Republican leader called "sandbox politics" - it is, after all, an election year - but neither side was willing to budge, so no compromise was reached.
Dayton isn't running for re-election, so it's easy for him to be stubborn without having to worry about his fate at the ballot box. But each of the 201 legislators is on the fall ballot. Now, instead of being able to face their constituents having delivered tax and infrastructure bills that had broad bipartisan support, legislators are spinning the failure, trying to stick the other party with the blame.
There's plenty of shared blame. More and more, St. Paul has come to resemble Washington in its polarization and gridlocked government. Voters will have to decide what to do about the mess.

Capitol Chatter: Dayton says clean water tops light rail politics
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he plans to campaign for clean water in coming months instead of against Republicans he blamed for torpedoing a special legislative session over a southwestern Twin Cities light rail proposal.
The Democratic governor has been very strong in his statements against Republican opposition to the rail project, which he says is needed to move commuters from places like Eden Prairie to Minneapolis. No bus line can do that, he says.
Minutes after he announced that he would not call a special legislative session to pass tax cuts and fund public works projects, he answered a reporter's question about whether he would campaign against Republicans with: "Water quality is what I focused on today and what I intend to."
Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, D-Cook, said his fellow Democrats feel light rail deserves the same attention as rural roads that Republicans wanted funded.
"We have talked about it being a matter of fairness..." Bakk said. "There really is nothing for the (Twin Cities) metro in the transportation bill" that failed to pass on the last day of the regular legislative session.
Bakk suggested that a special session approve a bill allowing local governments to decide whether to raise sales taxes to fund the project.
"We will have to go back to the drawing board," Dayton said about light rail.
Republican House Speaker Daudt declared the project dead, but quickly added that it could rise again.
No plans to buy prison
Supporters of a western Minnesota private prison may not want to get their hopes up that the state could buy the vacant facility.
Thursday's news that the federal government plans to withdraw inmates from private prisons encouraged speculation that Corrections Corporation of America would reduce its nearly $100 million price tag on the Appleton facility since private prisons are losing favor. That could make a purchase attractive to the state, reasoned lawmakers in the area of the western Minnesota prison.
But Gov. Mark Dayton's spokesman said that is not going to happen.
"He has opposed purchasing the prison and his position has not changed," Matt Swenson said, adding that the governor has no plans to look into buying the facility.
In March, Dayton had opened the door slightly when he said the only way he would consider using the Appleton prison "would be to buy it."
However, he said at the time, the prison would need rehabilitation. "That is a hugely expensive proposition."
Lousy voter turnout
Just 7.43 percent of Minnesota voters showed up at polls, or voted earlier by absentee ballot, in the Aug. 9 primary election.
The State Canvassing Board certified election results, including the fact that 294,979 people voted out of nearly 4 million who are eligible.
That is a slim turnout even compared to the recent past, which election officials called pitifully small. Recent turnout numbers include 2014, 10.37 percent; 2012, 9.61 percent; 2010, 15.93 percent; 2008, 11.26 percent.
The new numbers will renew the debate about when a primary should be scheduled.
The previous September primary was criticized because some considered it too close to the November election, and some do not like a proposed June primary because it too closely follows the regular legislative session that ends in May.
ID no longer works
State-issued identification cards no longer are accepted to grant access to four federal National Guard facilities in Minnesota.
The state National Guard reports that cards such as Minnesota driver's licenses will not be accepted at the 133rd Airlift Wing, St. Paul; 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth; 934th Joint Base, Minneapolis; and the military facility at Fort Snelling.
Minnesota's ID cards do not meet standards of the federal Real ID Act, and Defense Department installations require IDs with the higher standards. Without a Real ID, access will be granted only to individuals with an approved escort or those carrying an approved alternative ID such as a passport.
Camp Ripley is not unaffected since it is a state facility.

Wadena's Cyber Cafe continues to promote itself as a welcoming, safe place for teens to hang out, play games and receive support from the community.
The teen center opened in 2002 with the goal of establishing a safe, chemical-free environment for Wadena teens. Thanks to grants and donations, vacant retail space in downtown Wadena was purchased. Though the life expectancy for teen centers isn't long, the Cyber has remained a fixture in the community.
Since it opened in 2002, the Cyber has grown to include a coffee shop during the day with proceeds going toward the youth part of the program. The teen center also has several fundraisers throughout the year.
Blu Lutz, 13, is a regular at the Cyber. He likes playing games with friends and just "hanging out," he said.
"I also get to hang out with Doug," he said, referring to Cyber Cafe director Doug Wolff.
Because the Cyber operates as a coffee shop and teen center, the facility has become a community hub and teens are able to interact with adults, Wolff said.
Throughout the years, the Cyber has hosted numerous community events including dances and live music performances. Annual fundraisers include the Eat, Chill, Click event each fall, a coat drive and more.
Teens are able to play video games, pool, table tennis and participate in photography and photo classes when they are offered.
Wolff said there are some misconceptions about the teen center and he encourages parents and other members of the community to stop by and chat with him if there are concerns.
"We're planning to have some teen dances this fall once school starts and we're encouraging parents to chaperone and check things out," Wolff said.
Teenagers and volunteers make up the employees at the Cyber Cafe, including Wadena-Deer Creek High School student Grace Hinojos. She started working at the Cyber this summer and enjoys the casual atmosphere.
The Cyber also goes beyond just coffee and games.
"We've started offering support groups for kids and we want to be able to give support where we can," Wolff said.
The idea for support groups came from a collaboration with WDC schools and Wellness in the Woods on a Life Live It! suicide prevention effort earlier this year.
Many WDC students have been affected by suicide in some way and it can be difficult for kids to find a place to talk about these issues.
"It's tough for a lot of kids and we want to offer hope and resources and a place to talk," he said.
"We want to break down those walls and make these kids feel comfortable sharing what they're going through."
In order to continue getting feedback from teens, Wolff said the Cyber's board of directors is hoping to start a student-led board.
"We'll be able to talk about different issues affecting different grade levels and figure out programming to fit," Wolff said.
The Cyber Cafe is located at 210 Jefferson St. S. in Wadena. The phone number is (218) 632-5700.

What are the rules regarding collector plates?
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Question: I read your article from 2014 concerning collector plates. I have a related question. I have a 20-year-old car that would qualify for collector plates. Collector plates are usually a single plate if I'm not mistaken. I currently have regular passenger car plates on the vehicle. Can I run a single regular plate on the car and be in compliance? For me the yearly registration fee is not an issue.
Answer: If a vehicle has regular plates issued, it must display both the front and back plate. Displaying only a single plate on the back is legal if the vehicle:
• Is a collector's vehicle with a pioneer, classic car, collector or street rod license.
• Meets the requirements of a pioneer, classic or street rod vehicle but is used for general transportation.
• Is model year 1972 or earlier, not registered as a collector vehicle and is used for general transportation purposes.
For collector plates, you have the option of receiving one plate for $13.50 or two plates for $15. It would be the owner's choice, but again, only one has to be displayed on the back of the vehicle.
To be eligible for collector plates, a vehicle must:
• Be at least 20 model years old.
• Be owned and operated solely as a collector's item and not for general transportation purposes.
• The owner also needs to prove they own one or more vehicles with regular license plates.

Murder, kidnapping charges await man accused of killing Watkins' 5-year-old

A photo of Alayna Ertl released as part of an Amber Alert Saturday by the Meeker County County Sheriff's Department. Ertl's body was found Saturday afternoon in the Wilderness Park residential area in rural Motley, Minnesota.
A Saturday Amber Alert for a missing five-year-old Watkins girl turned into a homicide investigation within hours, after tips led investigators to her body in rural Cass County.
Preliminary autopsy results released Sunday indicate Alayna Jeanne Ertl died of "homicidal violence," according to a news release from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The 25-year-old family friend suspected of abducting and killing the girl was jailed Saturday.
Zachary Todd Anderson, of Coon Rapids, is currently being held without bail in the Crow Wing County Jail in Brainerd, awaiting charges early this week in connection with the death of Ertl.
Ertl was found dead in a swampy, wooded area approximately a quarter mile from Anderson family's cabin in rural Cass County, according to the BCA, and information from the Anderson allegedly led authorities there.
He was booked into the jail about 10 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of first-degree murder and kidnapping charges, according to the jail's log. He could appear in Cass County District Court as soon as Tuesday, the BCA said. The Crow Wing County Jail has an inmate contract with the Cass County Jail, a Cass County corrections officer said Sunday.
The BCA release stated Anderson was being held in Crow Wing County due to "space issues" at the Cass County Jail. Kayla Ertl told authorities she put her daughter to bed around 2 a.m. at the family's home at 221 Meeker Ave. SW in Watkins, according to the Amber Alert.
That was the last time she saw Alayna. The next time she checked on her daughter, around 8 a.m. Saturday, Alayna was missing. So was Anderson, along with a 2002 GMC Sierra pickup owned by the girl's father, Matt Ertl, according to the Amber Alert. Anderson had reportedly stayed at the Ertl home that night.
At 10 a.m. Saturday, Kayla and Matt Ertl filed a missing person report with the Meeker County Sheriff's Office. Authorities had information that Anderson may have been in Todd County about 6:30 a.m. Saturday, via Matt Ertl's cell phone left inside the vehicle.
The last pinged location as late as 9 a.m. was still Todd County. Authorities said the cellphone was then shut off.
Meeker County Deputies canvassed the Watkins area, but were unable to locate Ertl or Anderson. The BCA then joined the investigation and canvassed local businesses for video surveillance images. None of the footage led to Ertl or Anderson's locations.
That led the BCA to issue an Amber Alert about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, saying authorities believed Anderson had left the house with Alayna in her father's white pickup truck.
Law enforcement located the stolen vehicle Saturday afternoon at a cabin at 4926 Iroquois Trail Loop S.W. in Wilderness Park Estates, a residential park located about three miles east of the village of Leader in Cass County, 35 miles northwest of Brainerd.
The vehicle and cabin were both empty.
Additional law enforcement personnel were brought in to help search the area.
Police dog officers apprehended Anderson about 4:24 p.m. in a wooded area a quarter of a mile from the cabin. According to the BCA, Anderson did not have a weapon and did not resist arrest.
Alayna Ertl's body was found around 5 p.m. Saturday near the cabin, about 100 miles north of her Watkins home. She was pronounced dead when police arrived on the scene. Her body's discovery was reported by Meeker County Sheriff Brian Cruze at 6:02 p.m. Saturday and the Amber Alert was cancelled. "Sadly the body of Alayna Ertl has been found and this has turned into a homicide investigation," the Meeker County sheriff's office posted on its Facebook page Saturday night.
Anderson was a friend of the family and a co-worker of Matt Ertl's, according to authorities. He had previously been at the Ertl residence and had stayed overnight before, according to Cruze. He does not have a criminal history in Minnesota, other than minor traffic violations, according to online court records.
Anderson graduated from Monticello High School, according a Facebook page under his name. On Sunday, the Meeker County Sheriff's Office was referring media inquiries to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
A GoFundMe web page, at gofundme.com/alaynajeanne, was set up Sunday to help offset memorial expenses. As of 10:30 p.m. Sunday, nearly $14,000 had been raised through the site in eight hours. The Meeker and Cass County sheriff's offices are continuing to work together on the ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information or who had seen Ertl, the suspect Anderson or the vehicle he was driving are encouraged to call the Meeker County Sheriff's Office at (320) 693-5400.

The Wadena area experienced rain showers off and on Saturday but the Kruzin 4 Kidz Bike Rally was a go, with money raised to help grant wishes for children.
The annual fundraiser helps children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions in Minnesota.
Some of the Make-A-Wish recipients attended the program Saturday night at the Wadena Elks Lodge.
Kyllan Mjelde, daughter of Eric and Jessica Mjelde, of Park Rapids, was thankful for receiving a Make-A-Wish grant from Kruzin 4 Kidz. She was all smiles at Saturday's rally. Other families also thanked those who attended the fundraiser and talked about the joy they received from the gift of a wish.
All proceeds from Saturday's event go to Make-A-Wish of Minnesota. Activities included the motorcycle ride, raffle and silent auction, along with a meal served at the Wadena Elks Lodge.
Randy Atchley, a member of the Kruzin 4 Kidz board, said the event is all about the kids. Throughout the year, board members volunteer their time and other resources to host several fundraising events. Saturday's ride is the main event.
Though money is still coming in for the next month or so, Atchley said this year Kruzin 4 Kidz should raise enough to grant seven wishes for kids.
Since Kruzin 4 Kidz was established in 2006, its mission has always remained the same: granting wishes for children. To date, Kruzin 4 Kidz has raised and donated more than $250,000, granting 37 children wishes from the local area, including Alexandria, Baxter, Brainerd, Detroit Lakes, Dilworth, Hawley, Henning, Little Falls, Menahga, Moorhead, New York Mills, Park Rapids, Parkers Prairie, Pillager, Sauk Centre, Underwood and Verndale.
One of the greatest strengths is that every board member is a volunteer is dedicated to the cause and doesn't receive any compensation, Atchley said.
Kruzin 4 Kidz organizes and raises additional money through the sale of t-shirts and other Kruzin 4 Kidz branded products and also has a Mother's Day pancake breakfast, garage sale and golf tournament throughout the year.

New Ways of Stealing Credit Card Data

A man went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker. He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order. Everything looked okay all cards were in place. A few weeks later his credit card bill came a whooping bill of $14,000.
He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions. Customer care personnel verified that there was no mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen. 'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card and a switch had been made. An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet. The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them. How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy? $9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to a big one.
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. The bill for the meal came, he signed it and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along. Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.
He called the waitress and she looked perplexed. She took it back, apologized and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man. All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card. No exchange of words. She took it and came back to the man with an apology.
Verdict: Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours. Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time. Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, assuming that it has to be theirs.
SCENE 3:
A man went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that he had called in. He paid by using his Visa Check card which, of course, is linked directly to his checking account.
The young man behind the counter took the card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure. While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing. The man noticed the phone because it was the same model as he had, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then he heard a click that sounded like his phone sounds when he take a picture.
The counterman then gave him back his card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons. Meanwhile, the man was thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on him: the only thing there was his credit card, so now he started paying close attention to what the counterman was doing. He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. About five seconds later, he heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.
Now he was standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of his credit card. Yes, he played it off well, but if they had not had the same kind of phone, the man probably would never have known what happened. Needless to say, he immediately canceled that card
Verdict: Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless. Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card. Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days. Never let your card out of your sight. Check and check again! [Source: VFW Post 6756 Centerline MI — Leo Miller — April 3, 2016]
As always please see your local County Veterans Service Officer if you have any questions. You can contact your local VSO at (218) 631-7617 or by email at david.anderson@co.wadena.mn.us and as always have a great week.

Knowing what Medicare covers helps you plan ahead

Sooner or later, Medicare, the nation's major federal health insurance program, will affect everyone. In fact, if you pay taxes, Medicare already affects you because a portion of your taxes goes to finance part of the Medicare program.
Even though you're paying into the Medicare program during your working years, and will probably rely on its services in the future, you may not be aware of what benefits the program offers - and what it doesn't offer.
Whether you are receiving Medicare benefits, or will soon be eligible for Medicare, or maybe you are assisting your parents to make decisions about their coverage, this article will provide an overview of what Medicare covers and what it doesn't.
What is Medicare? How does it work? Medicare is a federal healthcare program, managed by the Social Security Administration, which provides health insurance to retired individuals, regardless of medical condition. Medicare A provides coverage for hospital bills (inpatient hospital care, hospice care, and home health care). Medicare B provides coverage for doctor bills (physician care as an inpatient at a hospital, at a doctor's office, or as an outpatient at a hospital or other health care facility) Laboratory tests, physical therapy, and ambulance service are also covered under the Medicare B plan. Medicare C (Medicare Advantage) Generally, a plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide Part A and Part B benefits to people with Medicare who enroll in the plan. Medicare Advantage Plans may offer extra coverage, like vision, hearing, dental, and/or health and wellness programs.
Any individual receiving Social Security benefits will automatically be enrolled in Medicare at age 65 (age of eligibility). If you decide to delay your Social Security benefits because, for example, you are still working, you must sign up for Medicare yourself by going to your local Social Security office.
There is a seven-month window in which you can obtain Medicare; the three months before you turn 65, the month of your 65th birthday, and the three months after you turn 65. The best time to sign up is during the three months before your 65th birthday.
Medicare A is provided when you sign up, generally without a premium. This was paid as part of you or your spouse's Medicare taxes. Part B, for doctor bills, requires a monthly premium of $121.80.
Medicare provides basic health care coverage, but it doesn't pay all of your medical expenses. Some items are considered custodial and are not covered by Medicare including most nursing home care, dental care and dentures, routine foot care, tests for, and the cost of, eyeglasses or hearing aids, personal comfort items, such as a phone or TV in your hospital room and services outside the United States.
If you have questions about Medicare and what it covers please call the Senior LinkAge Line for more information.

A new car dealership and service station has opened on Highway 10 west in Wadena.
Lunde Auto Sales and Castrol Quick Lube and Car Wash is located in the former Stoneman's building at 218 Ash Ave NW in Wadena.
Owner Mark Lunde, originally from Wadena, brings experience in marketing, management and finance both in the car dealership business and other areas. Most recently, he opened Central Minnesota Motors in Detroit Lakes with friend and classmate John Waln.
Lunde lives in Wadena with his wife and two children and decided the time was right to open his own business in town.
While Wadena has other car dealerships, Lunde said his goal is to offer financing options for people with bruised or no credit. Also, by partnering with Castrol Quick Lube and Car Wash, Wadena residents have another option for oil changes and tire service, Lunde said.
Lunde Auto Sales will carry used vehicles and will work with people to find the right car or truck, he said.
"With my background in finance, I'm able to help people with financing even if their credit isn't great," Lunde said.
Lunde Auto Sales is a CarFax Advantage Dealer, which means the dealership has records for each vehicle and is transparent.
The dealership will consider trades of all kinds from cars to ATVs to bicycles, Lunde said. He wants to work with people to find the best, most affordable vehicle, he added.
In addition to auto financing, Lunde will offer service financing if someone needs new rims and tires or major work done on a vehicle.
Besides Lunde, the business has two additional employees to start: service manager Travis Anderson and lube tech/detailer Joshua Anderson. Lunde hopes to hire additional full time and part time employees as the business gets rolling.
Travis Anderson said people should feel free to bring in their vehicle for a free computer diagnostic and he will help them figure out if someone is wrong with their vehicle. He has many years of experience in auto service.
The auto dealership had a soft opening in August and is planning a grand opening in September. With Lunde's experience in marketing, he has been active on social media and offering daily specials to customers online.
"We've had great support from the community already," Lunde said.

PRC teams can expect more trouble with Pirates

Volleyball teams in the Park Region Conference will be looking for a way to handle the Verndale Pirates when the 2016 season gets underway.
The Pirates were trouble for all seven of their PRC foes last year as they racked up a history-making season on the volleyball court.
Shelley Glenz and her talented team won the PRC with a 7-0 record and kept right on going. They took Section 5A honors and made their first appearance in the Class A state tournament at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The varsity team placed sixth in the state and won 29 of their 36 contests before they were done.
All-Conference picks Jordyn Glenz, Sarah Moenkedick and Alexis Steege wrapped up their productive careers but all-conference choices Shania Glenz and Haley Stinar are back. Shania was named to the Class A All-Tournament team and during the season joined Jordyn with 1,000 career kills. She also topped the 1,000-mark in career digs. Jordyn collected Class A All-State Honorable Mention. Jordyn was also the Park Region Conference's Most Valuable Player.
Verndale head coach Shelley Glenz will be looking for the people to fill two front line spots and a back row spot.
"We return a strong group of seniors," Glenz said. "Our underclassmen have been really working hard in the off season to fill holes."
Shania Glenz returns for her senior year to play middle hitter. Stinar and fellow senior Megan Dougherty will give the Pirates a huge amount of experience at setter. The two players joined the 1,000-set club last year. On the right side of the front row the Pirates will have senior Alexys Thompson. The Pirates also have Jensyn Schluttner back to lend her versatility wherever it is needed. Schluttner was tagged as a defensive specialist last year.
Junior Katie Johnson will be a rightside hitter and setter this year. Lending her 5-10 height to the middle will be sophomore Allison Olsson. Sophomores Alyssa Thompson, Leah Crider and Morgan Glenz are also regarded as hitters. Sophomore Mardi Ehrmantraut will be a setter.
The Pirates have a new libero in freshman Molly Brownlow.
With another trip to state at the top of their list of team goals, the Pirates face a Park Region Conference where Glenz predicts good seasons for Henning, New York Mills, Wadena-Deer Creek and 2015 state qualifier Sebeka.
"In Section 5A we will be watching as a young Braham team advances through the season," Glenz said. "Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa is at the top of Section 5A contenders. Both teams return top players from the injury list for the upcoming season. Nevis and Kimball also join the Pirates in the upper ranks of Section 5A.
The Pirates open the season Aug. 29 at Parkers Prairie.

First time educational summit brings 23 districts together

Educators from 23 districts across Minnesota attended an educational conference looking at changes in learning. Submitted photo
The Minnesota Summit for Greater Learning and Leading Summit brought 23 school districts and over 250 educators from across Minnesota for this first time, two-day educational conference.
The event featured nine national speakers who painted a picture of a compelling vision for the future of schools. The theme of the summit focused on standards-based instruction and grading. According to one educator, the summit included "A lot of great ideas presented in ways that made sense. Realistic, bite-sized steps were presented so it didn't seem as overwhelming as it could have been."
"Participants engaged in sessions that provoked conversations around change to meet the 21st century demands on our students. These changes include looking at education as competency-based rather than content-based," said Kassidy Rice.
One participant noted, "It brought thoughtfulness to our staff about their practices in the classroom." Another stated, "The content was affirming and challenging. It encourages us to make intentional steps to further our work in these areas."
This was a collaborative event between FIRST Educational Resources and National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) and featured a team of experts helping schools move forward in ensuring high levels of learning for all students in all schools.
NJPA is a governmental unit committed to providing cooperative solutions assisting governmental, educational, and nonprofit entities as they strive for efficient public service and located in Staples.

A crash in Perham Monday morning, Aug. 22., sent a driver to the hospital after the vehicle ended up in a pond.
The crash happened just after 9:30 a.m. when the driver, Donald Loh, 85, of Regent, N.D., was eastbound on Highway 10 and attempted to take the Perham exit.
Loh lost control and entered the north ditch before driving into a nearby pond.
It is believed Loh, who wasn't injured but was transported to a Perham hospital to be examined, suffered a medical issue before the crash, according to the State Patrol.

Twins should have sights set on 2017
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com
|
Five weeks of the 2016 baseball season is still on the books for the Minnesota Twins but the 2017 team is now the priority.
It is no longer important what happened to the Twins this season. The past is the past and regrets, like striking out with the bases loaded or failing to protect a big lead, count for nothing. The weird and wonderful game of baseball keeps chugging along.
So who will the Twins start the season with next year? You can bet they are not in a Minnesota uniform yet. You can also be sure some guys on the present roster will not be back.
Whatever the Twins decide, it should involve pitching. A strong staff is 101 stuff for a team trying to build a contender. Considering the unsettled state of Minnesota's staff, perhaps it would be kinder to look at the position players first.
At the midway point in August, the Twins ranked 12th in the majors in runs scored and 14th in batting average. Those rankings are just a shade better than average but considering where the Twins ranked back in April and May they are very encouraging. What we took for a bunch deadheads then has posted some impressive victories.
Joe Mauer had the third-highest batting average in the American League among first basemen at mid-month. While he is never going to be a big home run hitter he is still Minnesota's best stick.
Brian Dozier is battling Seattle's Robinson Cano for home run and RBI honors by a second baseman. He has come a long way since his horrible start.
The trade of All-Star choice Eduardo Nunez opened a competition between Eduardo Escobar, Jorge Polanco and Danny Santana for the shortstop job. Polanco has kept his average above .300 so look for him to come back.
The Twins would like to see Miguel Sano grab the third place job and hold it but his erratic fielding needs polishing. At the beginning of the year, it looked like Sano would be good for 35-40 homers and more than 100 RBIs. Halfway into August he had 20 dingers and 50 ribbies. He did lead the club in strikeouts. It has to make the Twins wonder if they can afford not to keep Trevor Plouffe aboard - despite his major dip in production.
The Twins had received eight homers and 55 RBIs from catchers Kurt Suzuki and Juan Centeno by mid-August. If these numbers belonged to only one of these players they might be decent.
It is clear now that Byung-ho Park was always a gamble to be the designated hitter the Twins needed. He had 12 homers, 24 RBIs and was batting .191 when he was sent down to Rochester. Park has had a tough season between adjusting to a new country and a new level of baseball. Kennys Vargas filled the DH role admirably for a couple weeks but he needs to find consistency at the plate. It is possible the Twins will try to fill the DH job with Plouffe and Sano next year.
Outfielders Eddie Rosario, Brian Buxton and Max Kepler stand a decent chance of returning to Fort Myers next March when spring training begins. Rob Grossman is likely to find a new home because of his defense. Offensively, Kepler has been the standout showing both power and clutch hitting. Buxton and Rosario have the youth and speed that will fit in well next year.
In addition to their pitching, the Twins have really flubbed defensively this season. That is unusual for the Twins who have usually ranked among the better defensive clubs in baseball. With 40 games of the regular season left the Twins had committed 92 errors and ranked 29th in the league. Last year they were guilty of 86 errors for the entire season and ranked eighth in the majors. After the Twins removed Terry Ryan as general manager his replacement, Rob Antony, promptly went after new pitching. His moves have not really budged the needle yet. The Twins still rank 28th in team earned run average and 29th in home runs allowed. The Twins can take heart from the fact the Chicago Cubs, once the doormats of baseball, lead the majors in team ERA. If they can do it anything is possible.
Hector Santiago has been a bust since coming over from the Angels so don't count on seeing him next spring. Jose Berrios is a much better bet along with Tyler Duffey, Kyle Gibson and Ervin Santana. Consistency is what these pitchers have lacked. Only Santana has managed to find some. If Phil Hughes can retain his 2014 form he could be back but Adalberto Mejia, who the Twins got from San Francisco would be a better bet. The Twins also have great prospect down on the farm in Fernando Romero, a righty who has played for Cedar Rapids and Fort Myers this season, winning 10 games and keeping his ERA under 2.40.
Relievers Brandon Kintzler, Trevor May, Taylor Rogers, Ryan Pressly and Michael Tonkin all have decent shots at returning to the bullpen. Glen Perkins' days in a Twins uniform appear to be numbered.
The Twins were pretty proud of themselves when the 2015 season ended. Look for them to be one of baseball's more dissatisfied clubs in the offseason.

U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, along with Representative Collin Peterson, announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded Wadena Municipal Airport a grant of $565,906 for safety improvements.
"As our airports continue to serve our communities, it's critical we make investments so they can provide the services Minnesotans rely on," Klobuchar said. "Today's investment will help to do that while also supporting local jobs in Wadena."
"These improvements to Wadena Municipal Airport will improve safety and support the economic health of the region," Franken said. "I'm glad that this Transportation Department grant will increase accessibility and allow the facility to keep serving our state and visitors to Minnesota."
"This grant will allow Wadena Municipal Airport to improve existing airport infrastructure," Peterson said. "Strong regional airports benefit the local economy while meeting regional transportation needs."
This grant will allow the airport to install perimeter fencing and fund a new runway vertical/visual guidance system to make the airport more accessible by improving approaches to the runway ends.

WDC cheerleaders invited to cheer in London

Wadena-Deer Creek High School senior cheerleaders Sydney Emerson, Nicole Iken, Ashley Lehmkuhl and Kloe Pettit-Sperling were recently selected as All-American Cheerleaders by the Universal Cheer Association (UCA) camp instructor, Alex Riska, at their annual stunt camp in August.
These four young ladies, along with their cheer coach Holly Becker, have been invited to cheer in London, England on Jan. 1 during the London New Years' Day Parade. The group would be part of the London 2016-2017 Varsity Spirit Cheer Tour.
Becker said being an All-American Cheerleader is a huge honor.
"Only the best cheerleaders in the United States are selected for this honor and given the opportunity to cheer in London," said Becker, who is in her ninth year with the cheerleading program at WDC.
"This is exciting!" said Iken, who also said the group of seniors has worked hard over the last few years learning and perfecting their stunting, as well as countless hours practicing cheers and dances. Last year, the entire cheerleading squad earned a trip to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., over the New Year's holiday. "That was amazing," Iken added.
The cheerleaders are raising funds to help this group of young ladies experience this trip of a lifetime to London.
"They earned their role as All-American Cheerleaders, please help them to be able to participate in the London Tour and live out their new-found dream!" said Becker. "Sydney, Nicole, Ashley, Kloe, and myself would be so grateful for any support you give to help make this dream become a reality."
If you are interested in helping with a monetary donation, the cheerleaders have set up a GoFundMe account at WDC All-American Cheerleaders.

Your letters - Aug. 18 edition

Decisions are made by those who show up. This year, more than 6000 people demonstrated their right to a different choice. Too many more were not heard at all. Most people we called had no idea the primary was Aug. 9. We were up against a local printed press system that neglects to inform citizens of their right to vote with enough notice to research candidates. Free press simply isn't free when citizens can't get letters to the editor published without paying a fee. I heartily appreciate the press that did cover this primary and our campaign or who allowed for letters to the editor at no charge.
There is really no way our voters would have known anything without the generous donations made to this campaign, so our donors deserve many thanks from us all.
Despite the results, I can confidently say we can be very proud of what we have accomplished. I am deeply grateful for the volunteers and all who came out to vote. Every one of the 6080 votes we got was organic, cultivated by our team. This is the definition of grassroots. Without access to the Republican data, we did not focus our attention on the Republican delegates, so this was truly an addition to the usual political activists who came out to vote.
The support I received around the district was incredible but I am particularly grateful to Todd County voters and, in particular, Long Prairie. Not only did we have a super majority over my opponent in Todd County, but I had more votes over Collin Peterson as well. The love and support is so greatly appreciated.
This primary, I was up against the local establishment and the endorsement. I did not have access to Republican databases but instead had to run against their rumors spread to caucus goers via email just before the election. Through it all, I maintained my message and, together, we stood up to the establishment and said, "No more politics as usual."
This campaign is on hold for now; but for those who made their voices heard, the fight has just begun. In the near future, I'll be working on the trade expo in October for the American Russian Chamber of Commerce.
Amanda Hinson,
Long Prairie
Thank you Maasconis for excellent service
Our class had our 50th reunion on July 30 at the new restaurant in Verndale, Maasconis Char and Bar. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. All that after only being open for three weeks. Thank you Jim, Kim, your family and staff for providing a wonderful place for our reunion.

No tax cuts. No construction work. No special session.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, left, and Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk announce on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016, that there will be no special legislative session to pass a tax bill and fund public works projects. (Forum News Service photo by Don Davis)
Farmers can forget about tax breaks to lighten their burden in funding new schools. Drivers on some of Minnesota's most dangerous highways will not see immediate safety improvements. New state aid cities expected is not coming.
Those are three of many issues impacted as Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders failed to agree on a special session agenda. As it has been since the regular session adjourned in May, the final stumbling block was whether to build a light rail project in the southwestern Twin Cities.
"I've concluded ... I am not going to call a special session," Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton said Thursday following a brief negotiation session.
House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, said the GOP is disappointed there will be no special session because Minnesotans will miss out on $500 million of tax cuts and nearly $1 billion in funding for public works projects, including $700 million for road and bridge work.
Dayton vetoed the $800 million tax bill, much of which would trim taxes, after a $100 million error was found.
Besides cutting farm owners' property taxes that go to building new schools, the tax bill would have provided tax relief to college students, veterans, parents and other Minnesotans.
Nearly $1 billion in public construction projects died in the final minutes of the regular legislative session over the southwestern Twin Cities light rail dispute that eventually derailed the special session.
The public works bill would have paid $700 million for road and bridge improvements, focused on some of the state's most dangerous highways. The rest would have gone to hundreds of projects across the state, including improving water and sewer systems and fixing state-owned buildings.
The two bills had strong bipartisan support, but the southwest light rail project long has divided Democrats, who support it to improve the economy and relieve traffic congestion, and Republicans, who say it is a waste of money and has not been properly vetted.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, D-Cook, said he gave Daudt options to fund light rail that Republicans might be able to stomach. However, Bakk said, "they have made no kind of a counter offer of any kind."
Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, said he questions the process Democrats used to advance light rail. It received little attention during the regular session, he said, despite the fact that it would require four times the public investment that the long-debated Vikings stadium received.
"It is past the point where we can have any more fruitful discussions," Dayton said, with the 2017 regular session due to begin in January.
The lack of a special session will play big in this year's elections, although the speaker and governor said they have not made decisions based on the fall vote, in which all 201 legislative seats are on the ballot but not Dayton.
House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, D-Minneapolis, said it was a "disappointing day."
He turned his attention to the fall elections. "A House DFL majority will bring a robust bonding bill and middle class tax relief to the House floor for a vote in the first 30 days of the next legislative session," Thissen said.
"It's disappointing the governor and Senate insist on another light rail train instead of agreeing to re-pass middle class tax relief and road and bridge funding," Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, said. "In our area, for example, we would have seen an investment in an emergency response training center for oil train derailment."
Daudt says he has a good relationship with Dayton, but had harsh words for the governor after the announcement there would be no special session. "What I am seeing here, frankly, is sandbox politics. ... We shouldn't throw our sucker in the sand and then go away."

Living History: Local cyclist injured in Wadena accident

The Wadena County Board is investigating a wireless alarms system in response to concern about security in the courthouse.
At its Aug. 15 meeting, the board agreed to arrange a demonstration of the Centurion Security System by StopTech, Ltd. The system has a distress button, smoke and motion detectors, sensors for glass breakage, temperature detectors and more, said Scott McKellep, emergency manager.
Commissioner Bill Stearns discovered the Centurion System at a vendor fair at the National Association of Counties Conference. Planning the justice center revealed the need for a security update at the courthouse, he said. The justice center would have included a new jail, law enforcement area and courts. The county abandoned the project after failing to get state bonding money this spring.
Increasing numbers of irate visitors to the courthouse have also sparked interest in the building's safety, McKellep said. A recent incident occurred in County Attorney Kyra Ladd's office.
A man Ladd said she did not know entered her office approximately 15 minutes before the courthouse closed. Ladd described the man as a "fairly desperate person" who was angry with his employer over a civil matter.
Ladd told the man his concern required a consultation with a private attorney and she could not help him. The upset man kept pulling items from his bag, she said. The man remained in Ladd's office until shortly after 5 p.m. before leaving, she said.
Later, Ladd brought her concerns to McKellep she said, to ask what measures could be taken to ensure a similar incident does not occur again.

3rd annual Never.Give.Up. Suicide Awareness 5K is Saturday

Suicide has immensely affected rural communities and has left an enormous impact on many families. The Never.Give.Up. Suicide Awareness and Prevention non-profit has a mission to raise money for suicide prevention and awareness education; to support those who suffer so they will Never.Give.Up.
The group was started after the suicide of Peggy Havnes' 16-year-old son Kyle Kenyon in 2012. In hindsight, the family recognized a need for education about preventing suicide.
"The sudden and unexpected death of my son - a vibrant young man - devastated my family," Havnes said. "Unfortunately, many families have experienced suicide since Kyle's death and well before his death."
Suicide has been an ongoing tragedy that isn't talked about but needs to be, the organization recognizes. Most suicides are preventable through diagnosis and treatment of a mental illness such as depression or bipolar disorder. The non-profit group hopes to help people understand that there is help and there are people available to talk to when life doesn't seem to go right.
Never.Give.Up. donates all funds raised to local schools to educate youth about suicide awareness.
"It's our hope that students will become more aware and reach out for help - for themselves or a friend struggling with depression," added Never.Give.Up. Vice President Casey Kenyon.
Never.Give.Up. works with schools who are interested in bringing suicide awareness and prevention education to their students. Now in its third year, they are working with both the Perham-Dent and Frazee-Vergas Schools who will share the funds raised at this year's event. Both schools have agreed to earmark the funds for suicide awareness and prevention education. The organization raised more than $31,000 in 2015 for the Wadena-Deer Creek and New York Mills Schools.
This year's fundraiser 5K Run/Walk will be at Frazee Elementary School on Saturday, Aug. 27. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the runners starting at 9 a.m.
Perham student Shelby Burns will start the event off right with her rendition of our National Anthem. Miss Northwest Hailey Jutz, a Frazee graduate, will speak at the event. Jutz lost her own father Detroit Lakes Police Officer Chad Jutz to suicide in 2012. As a result, she has made it her mission to educate on suicide prevention - focusing on bullying, depression and suicide in our schools.
A silent auction will be set up as well. Area businesses have generously donated awesome items to ensure a successful fundraising event. There will be food and refreshments available. T-shirts, beads, tattoos and other items will be for sale.
The Cactus restaurant on Fort Thunder Road in Perham has offered a tasty way to contribute if someone can't make it to the event on Saturday. Eat out on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at The Cactuc and 20 percent of the sales will be donated to Never.Give.Up.
If someone is unable to take part in the event and wishes to donate, mail a donation check to Never.Give.Up. at 38246 500th Ave, New York Mills, MN 56567. For more information, email LetsNeverGiveUp@gmail.com.

Zimmer: It's 'possible' Bridgewater could be out for season
| null | null |
www.wadenapj.com

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (5) throws the ball during the first quarter in the Aug. 28 preseason game against the San Diego Chargers at U.S. Bank Stadium. Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said his third-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a "significant knee injury" during a non-contact drill during Tuesday's practice and said it's possible Bridgewater could be lost for the season.
"Possible, yeah," Zimmer said during an afternoon news conference to discuss the injury.
The third-year quarterback didn't appear to be touched when he went down in the pocket and grabbed his left knee.
"Today is a disappointing day because the number one thing is Teddy is such a great kid, everyone loves him," Zimmer said. "Everyone was disappointed."
Veteran Shaun Hill is the backup to Bridgewater, though Zimmer said he and Vikings GM Rick Spielman discussed the possibility Tuesday of adding a veteran quarterback.
"I have confidence in Shaun," Zimmer said. "He's played great this preseason in two-minute drills."
Hill is no stranger to stepping up in the face of injury, as the veteran replaced Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford in 2010 and Sam Bradford four years later after he tore his ACL with the then-St. Louis Rams.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Vikings waived quarterback Brad Sorensen.
Zimmer stressed that his football team is more than just his quarterback, pointing out a revamped offensive line, Adrian Peterson, among other aspects.
"This is about a team and about us trying to find a way to win football games," he said.
Zimmer said he talked to Bill Parcells, and his dad in spirit, saying, "We'll find out a way to do it. Everyone can count us out if they want, but that would be the wrong thing to do."
Zimmer said Bridgewater is having an MRI done on his leg and halted questioning about the hospital that was treating him.
"Let's let the kid get healthy and taken care of. Please," Zimmer told a reporter. "I love this kid. Our fans love this kid."
The team canceled practice after about 25 minutes and an ambulance was called. All but a few players surrounding a prone Bridgewater left the field. Linebacker Eric Kendricks threw his helmet to the ground and cursed; running backs Adrian Peterson, Matt Asiata and receiver Adam Thielen locked arms and appeared to pray for their teammate.
The Vikings have two healthy quarterbacks after releasing quarterback Brad Sorensen on Tuesday, Hill and former Wisconsin starter Joel Stave.
Before the injury, the Vikings' biggest task was cutting the roster to 75 players by the NFL deadline of 3 p.m. Among cuts was veteran center John Sullivan, whom the team was trying to trade.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press and The Sports Xchange contributed to this report.

Mike has top sites in his sights
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Site manager Mike Lenton has been tasked with overseeing the construction of two of West Sussex’s latest developments, Cowdray Mews in Midhurst and at Abingworth Meadows at Thakeham.
Mike started his career as a carpenter so he understands the skill and hard work which he now requires from his own tradesmen on site.
“I took my time before stepping up into a site management role so I got to see how the best sites were managed and that’s how I run my sites,” said Mike. “It’s about being organised and I wish I’d done it earlier, I just love it.”
He won a top award at Crest Nicholson, where he worked for some ten years, prior to joining Oakford Homes in 2009.
Having managed the conversion and refurbishment of buildings in Kingston and Windsor, along with the construction of award-winning houses near Goodwood, Mike ensures each property is built with the same demanding attention to detail.
“I’m on the road by 5am, on site by 7am, and I’m full on all day! What makes me do it is the sense of achievement and satisfaction as you see a building come together, controlling the sequence, and seeing it take shape. It’s about feeling part of the whole project.”
“The sites I’m involved with currently are both very different, which makes for a lot of variety,” said Mike. “There are 17 really high specification houses at Cowdray Mews close to both the school and the South Downs offices – so we’re especially careful about noise and dust, we try to be very neighbourly. Generally we find that local people know we’ve got a job to do and, when it’s done, are always very positive.
“For Thakeham, we are creating a new village hall, shop, and sports pitches – the cricket square has just been seeded.
“The show house at Abingworth Meadows is on programme to open in September and at the moment we’re taking down overhead energy cables for new ones to be installed underground.
“For me, the real achievement is in the finish and seeing new owners settle in to a home which I have helped to create.”

TRAFFIC UPDATE: Motorway closed until ‘at least’ lunchtime
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Sussex motorists who are travelling to Kent are being told the M20 motorway will be shut until at least this afternoon.
Highways England issued a statement saying that the M20 is closed between junctions one and four, and ‘is likely to remain closed until at least Sunday lunchtime’.
The scene on the M20 between Borough Green and Leybourne in Kent after a lorry hit a foot bridge and it collapsed. Picture: Natasha Najm / SWNS.com
The closure comes after a lorry struck a footbridge in Kent, causing it to collapse. Read more here.
Highways England said that diversions are also in place and it is likely the M26 which links the M25 to the M20 will also remain closed until the incident is cleared.
The diversion for the M20 is via the A2 or M2 using the A229 and A228, and the diversion for the M26, closed at M25 junction five, is to use the M25 junction two and then travel on the A2 or M2.
Highways England south east operations manager Gary Coleman said everything was being done to reopen the motorway again, but safety had to come first both for workers and drivers.
“We are facing a real challenge to lift two HGVs and a motorbike clear of the scene and deal with all of the rubble from the collapsed bridge strewn across both carriageways.
“There is also the issue of the remaining part of the footbridge, which is still in place over the coast-bound side of the motorway. We have crews on scene ready to take action as soon as the police have completed their investigation. We also have cranes en route and lighting so work can continue through the night.
“We are doing everything we can to safely reopen the motorway, but we’d ask drivers to please bear with us as this is a complex operation and it will take time and skill to complete. We’ll keep everyone updated.”

Sussex side ship 33 goals in opening two matches
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Ferring Football Club boss Ross Harnes believes his side will get better – after shipping 33 goals in their opening two Southern Combination Football League Division 2 matches this season.
Ferring crashed to an 18-0 opening-day defeat at Jarvis Brook on Saturday, before they suffered a 15-1 reverse at home to Bosham on Tuesday. Despite those heavy losses, Harnes – who had to put together a squad after taking over in the summer – has confidence that his determined side will turn things around.
He said: “It was a lot better on Tuesday than the Jarvis Brook game but it’s still the same story as we’re working hard to put a team together.
“The lads are working hard and not getting much of a result out of it. We lost again but at the same time the determination of the lads will help us to progress and grow.”
Jack Neave scored Ferring’s goal against Bosham, making it 2-1, before the visitors ran out comfortable winners.
Harnes’ side host Rottingdean, who lost 6-0 in their last game, on Saturday.
He said: “Rottingdean is going to be interesting as they were stuffed in their last game. We’ve got the mentality to try to get a result.”

Can this be Enda of Pompey shipping late goals?

Enda Stevens saluted Pompey’s new-found resilience after their latest clean sheet.
The Blues chalked up their third shutout in four games with their 1-0 success at Exeter.
Paul Cook’s side withstood a late charge from the Grecians after Gary Roberts put them in front with five minutes remaining.
But they put their bodies on the line to see out the game for the three points.
Stevens took satisfaction from his side’s resilience.
He said: ‘We’re away from home so we have to be careful at times.
‘We went to Morecambe and we found ourselves 2-0 down and chasing the game.
‘So, my view, was we needed to keep a clean sheet and let the attackers do the attacking.
‘It was a bit scrappy at times but we got the play in the second half and that clean sheet counted.
‘They were going to come to us and throw bodies at us after we scored. It was up to us to throw bodies on the line and defend properly.
‘There were last-ditch tackles but we deserved the clean sheet.’
Stevens felt keeper David Forde was an important cog in the defensive unit which repelled Exeter.
He said: ‘Clean sheets are what we hope for.
‘That’s our aim as a back four with Fordey behind us.
‘I thought he was excellent. He’s really come in and helped us massively.
‘He’s commanding and helped in the dressing room.
‘He comes for everything and give us confidence.
Stevens also drew confidence from Pompey putting two successes together on the bounce.
He said: ‘Back-to-back wins are important and winning away for the first time is important after a bit of a sluggish start.
‘It’s momentum and we have to take this forward into the two home games we have coming up in the league.
‘We have to keep up the level of performance and put the points on the board.’

Eastergate face second-spot shootout
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Eastergate, Aldwick, Selsey and West Wittering were all in action on the penultimate weekend of the Invitation League season - with differing results.
Here are reports from the latest league matches, plus news of Aldwick teams’ progess in the T20 Plate.
Eastergate have their final game this weekend as they entertain Ram in a straight shootout for second place after Broadwater confirmed the title.
Arundel v Eastergate
Invitation League division one
Arundel were keen to avenge a loss at Eastergate earlier in the season and needed a win to have a chance of staying up.
The Arundel outfield and square was saturated from morning showers but after hard work from the groundstaff play got under way.
Arundel won an important toss and made the very easy decision to bowl first.
The opening bowlers used the conditions well and Nick Murray took two wickets removing Eastergate captain Jack Stannard (10) and Sussex youngster Nick Smith (4), both caught behind.
Justin Poyser came in and faced up to Murray and with Nathan Green, Eastergate rebuilt. Green, son of Arundel chairman Bob Green, eventually went for 31.
Poyser went to his 50 striking the ball to the boundary regularly. He fell for 66 with the score on 124-5 but cameos from Dan Jadzevics (17), Tom Stannard (14) and Curtis Drake (17*) saw Eastergate to a respectable total of 164-7.
Arundel had 33 overs to reach their target and knew they had to win to stand any chance of survival.
They got the luck they needed as Arundel skipper Joe Bain was dropped first ball. He punished the mistake and went on to make 91 and effectively won the game for his side and, with opening partner Jacob Temple (40), put on 132 for the first wicket.
Eastergate did remove Bain and Temple but Nick Murray (25*) and Dan Turner (9*) got Arundel home with one ball to spare.
Eastergate have their final game this weekend as they entertain Ram in a straight shootout for second place after Broadwater confirmed the title.
Aldwick v Crawley Eagles
Invitation League division two
Aldwick’s dismal league season came to an end with a heavy defeat by a massive 202 runs – and by the end they were glad it was over as they look to regroup for life in a lower division.
For Crawley, opener Sheizad Gul (94) was clearly in a hurry, making his half century in fewer than eight overs and eventually falling to Dan Robinson (2-66).
Atif Hussain (103*) made an unbeaten century and featured in 98-run fourth-wicket partnership with Shahzad Ali (44). For Aldwick, Ben Bambridge (5-45) staged a comeback of sorts bagging five wickets which included four ducks.
But the Eagles soared to a huge 300 for eight from 47 overs.
In reply, Aldwick’s fragile batting line-up was exposed once again as they were rolled out for just 98 in under 32 overs.
A few players made double figures – Alex Cooper (20), Ollie Smith (18), and Dean Stokes (18) - but the majority fell without any real resistance to the bowling of Shanaz Abdul (4-48) and Mehran Khan (5-23).
Aldwick lost key players before the season began who were not replaced – but despite this they have battled bravely and already have ambitions to jump back into division two at the first time of trying.
Aldwick twos’ final game was cancelled because of the weather but they finished one place from the bottom.
WSIL T20 Plate
There was the mouthwatering possibility of Aldwick playing Aldwick II in the final of T20 plate. It did not materalise but, against the odds, Aldwick twos did make it to the final.
Aldwick faced Worthing in the quarter-final and posted a decent 169-5 with Ryan Purvis (63) and Adam Rutter (40) the top scorers.
Worthing looked capable of overtaking Aldwick’s total but Harry Rosser (6-14) decimated the opposition, rolling them over for 91 all out.
Next up for Aldwick in the semi-final was Ram from division one, who provided a much bigger hurdle.
Ram opened with Harshesh Patel who raced to 91 and was the key to their huge 182-3. Aldwick gave it a go but faltered at 124-6 with Dan Robinson (40) and Ryan Purvis (30) the main run-makers and Patel taking 2-30.
In Aldwick seconds’ quarter-final they faced Belgrave Adelaide and batting first made a below-par 100-7. Top scorer was Dion Sampson (20*) with Ashley Smith (3-9) doingdamage with the ball.
In a concerted team effort, with wickets from John Young (2-19), Liam Hicks (2-15) and Charlie Barnett (2-11), Aldwick bowled out the opposition for 91 and were through to the semi-final.
Aldwick had to overcome Portslade to reach the final and they did thanks to anothergood all-round bowling performance. Charlie Barnett (3-21) headed the roll of honour closely followed by Ben Bambridge (2-13) ,Tom Hoare (2-20) and Liam Hicks (2-20) reducing Portslade to 97 all out.
Victory for Aldwick, and a place in the final, was achieved with ease in the 13th over with runs from Paul Gibbs (22) and Luke Spindler (22).
Aldwick II, from Invitation division six, will play Ram of division one in the final on September 4.
St Andrews v Selsey
Division ywo
Selsey secured their division-two status for next season despite a four-wicket defeat away to St Andrews.
Knowing ten points would be enough, Selsey set off with the task of scoring 200 which they achieved comfortably to declare on 204-5. Tom Amis (36) and James Amis (18) gave the steady start required and a half century from captain Nic Nolan (59), 21 from Dave Benham and 25 not out from Pete Horner secured the points required.
In reply St Andrews got off to a flyer as wayward bowling was punished with ease. Alex Ellis survived two early dropped catches to score 82 and with James Hayden Smith’s 36 and 29 not out from Michael Platt took them home.
Pick of Selsey’s bowlers were Tom Cripps (3/67) and Pete Horner (2/47). Selsey complete their league campaign with a fixture against Brighton and Hove.
After winning division three last season the objective was to remain in division two, which has been achieved with some good performances along the way.
West Wittering v Belgrave Adelaide
Division three
Wittering were unable to secure the win that would have confirmed the title.
Belgrave Adelaide required just three points to save themselves from relegation and their innings started slowly.
Harry Staight and Joe Pink bowled tight lines, which had both batsmen playing and missing.
Mani (44) and Moody (43) scored the majority for the Adders in their total of 165 all out, Pink the pick of the bowlers with four for 37.
The run chase started poorly, with Jordan Woodsford (5-36) removing the off-stump of opener Mark Taylor for a duck.
Jack Allsobrook (36) supported the explosive Gareth Lendrum, who hit yet another quickfire 50, until he was caught going for one six too many for 62.
The Wittering Wobble ensued and was not to be recovered from, with the remaining six wickets falling for around 20 runs, leaving Wittering 28 short of the total and the title.
The first XI require nine points from their final game against fellow title contenders Barns Green to seal the league title.
West Wittering 2nd v Ifield 3rd
Division seven
Wet conditions did nothing to dampen the spirits of a team on the verge of promotion as fine efforts from the players allowed Saturday’s game between West Wittering 2nd XI and Ifield to go ahead in its entirety.
The home captain won the toss and Mark Brien decided to bowl first.
A vicious yet fruitless opening spell from Wittering paceman Jack Harte had Ifield on the back foot, yet it was the familiar sight of Joe Sissons bowling a tempting line and Steve Feazey’s safe hands at first slip who removed Ifield captain Piasko to get the breakthrough.
This brought youngster Zak Mohammed to the crease and he bludgeoned his way to 51 to give Ifield hope.
Despite Mohammed anchoring one end the wickets were falling in typical fashion at the other.
Rejuvenated fast bowler Kevin Allsobrook, skipper Brien and part-time off-spinner Ben Doyle took two wickets apiece while Sissons went on to finish with 4-16, his best figures so far this season.
In reply to Ifield’s total of 118, West Wittering lost Marc Slowey for a lusty 29 but new recruit Steve Feazey eased his way to 50 not out and Brandon Trimmer to 34 not out.
West Wittering twos need just ten points in their final game at Barns Green this weekend to guarantee promotion.

Controversial 750 homes development in Chichester to be decided next week
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The first phase of a controversial housing plan for 1,600 homes is set to be decided next week by Chichester District Council.
The outline application for 750 homes at Whitehouse Farm has sparked major debate over increased traffic concerns, access and the impact on biodiversity.
John Templeton, of Washington Street, said: “If this is approved, it will mean all traffic to and from the new development will pass through the city’s congested streets or through villages in the South Downs National Park.”
The sole access to the site will be from the B2178 Old Broyle Road, north-west of the old railway bridge over Centurion Way.
Mr Templeton continued: “All construction traffic will be required to travel from the A27 at the Fishbourne Roundabout and along Orchard Street and St Paul’s Road.”
CDC will be deciding the fate of the land on Thursday, September 8, at 9.30am in the Council Chamber at East Pallant House, which is open for the public to attend.
“A large attendance will demonstrate the strength of feeling against this proposal which, if passed, will have a major and permanent impact on the quality of life of our cathedral city,” added Mr Templeton.
The site is within the Chichester Local Plan and 1,000 of the total 1,600 homes would be built by 2029.
Chairman of the Chichester Society, Richard Childs, said: “The significance of the Whitehouse Farm development should not be underestimated.
“It is the largest single housing development in the 2,000 year history of Chichester – it will change the face of our much-loved city forever.”
He continued to say that not only will there be road congestion during the building of the first 750 houses, but air pollution levels will undoubtedly rise as well.
“Unless a southern access route is delivered right from the start of the development there will be years of road chaos, much of it in the close vicinity of the four city schools,” added Mr Childs.
“Chichester District Council owes a duty of care to the citizens who already live in the city.”
The planning application can be viewed on the CDC website, reference 14/04301.

New exhibition explores history of The Charlton Hunt
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
To 18th century ears, the Charlton Hunt was synonymous with some of the best sport in the country and Mr Roper was its celebrated huntsman.
Indeed, it is one of the earliest recorded foxhunts in the world and its fame drew the elite of society, including the Dukes of Monmouth, St Albans and Richmond, the dashing illegitimate sons of King Charles II.
Grey Cardigan with Tom Johnson, Huntsman of the Charlton hounds, seen through the Archway by John Wootton
Richmond bought nearby Goodwood as a comfortable place to stay and entertain his illustrious friends during the hunting season.
His son, the second Duke, shared his love of the chase and when he became Master, such was the success and desirability of the hunt, he decided that membership should be restricted only to those who had been elected.
Almost every noble family in the land had a representative at Charlton, including half of the Knights of the Garter.
Lord Burlington designed for the members a handsome banqueting house at Charlton where they met after hunting, and many built themselves hunting-boxes in the village, including the second Duke of Richmond. Richmond’s hunting-box still stands; known as Fox Hall, it is now owned by the Landmark Trust and available to rent.
The most important day in the history of the Charlton Hunt took place on 26th January 1739 when in ‘the greatest chase that ever was’ hounds ran continuously from their first find at 8.15am until they killed at 5.50pm, covering a distance of approximately 57 miles with just the Duke and two others present at the end.
When the hunt was moved to Goodwood in the mid-18th century, it was known as the Duke of Richmond’s Hounds and magnificent kennels were built by the architect James Wyatt with an ingenious central-heating system, a century before Goodwood House had its own heating.
The Goodwood House summer exhibition explores the history of the Charlton Hunt and its association with the Dukes of Richmond.
Documents and books associated with the hunt from the Goodwood archive are on display.
More than 300 years later, Goodwood still revolves around sport and sharing those individual passions of the dukes with the many thousands of visitors who come here every year.

15-1 - but it wasn’t biggest win of season so far
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Bosham FC are celebrating after almost doubling their record victory as our local football teams enjoy a goal-laden start to the new season.
It was raining goals at Glebelands on Tuesday night as Bosham beat a hapless Ferring side 15-1.
Jake Lafferty helped himself to five, with Marco Giambelardini hitting four.
Assistant player-boss Neil Redman weighed in with two, including a rare header, while new signing Ollie Gilbert and Graeme Dowden also hit two each. It was 2-1 at one stage with Jack Nieve scoring for Ferring before the Reds raced into a 7-1 half-time advantage.
The scoreline dwarfs Bosham’s previous best win, an 8-0 victory – ironically also at Ferring – on the opening day of the 2014-15 season.
It is not quite the freak result it appears – Ferring went into the game on the back of an 18-0 demolition in their season opener at newly-promoted Jarvis Brook.
Ferring have a new team and young manager who are clearly struggling to find their feet at this level.
Bosham have had many tussles with Ferring over the years and say they hope their rivals can turn their fortunes around as the season progresses.
The romp is the highlight of what has been a goal-feast of a start to the season for our local SCFL teams.
Bosham, with 17 goals in two games, sit second in division two with six points from six, though they are still behind Jarvis Brook on goal difference.
Sidlesham are also in division two this season and as Bosham were hitting 15 in midweek, they were suffering a relative goal drought at home to Clymping. They won by a mere 5-0 margin as new boss Daren Pearce got his first win under his belt and the Sids moved into the top six.
Callum Dowdell (2), John Phillips, Tom Jefkins and Tom Bayley scored the goals.
Reports from last weekend
Roffey 2 Sidlesham 1
Southern Combination division two
Roffey began with apprehension and Sidlesham took advantage whe a long ball forward and some mis-communication in the home defence saw Adam Wicking head into his own goal.
Roffey began to grow into the game and snuff out any threat from Sids, much of which came from Tom Bayley.
Ben Chowney was denied from inside the six-yard box by Connor Kelly in the Sidlesham goal and other home chances were spurned.
Excellent last-ditch defending from Sidlesham’s Matt Roberts prevented an equaliser - but one did come in the 44th minute as a well-worked short corner was converted by Wicking.
The second half began with further Roffey chances.
Sidlesham looked to counter-attack and John Phillips looked to support Bayley, while Joe Jefkins and Callum Dowdell attacked well down the flanks.
Roffey were looking to turn one point into three and managed it in the 88th minute when a delightful ball curled to the far post saw sub Harri Nourse power a header back across Kelly and into the far corner.
Sidlesham looked a very good side and hope to be among the frontrunners for the league title.
SIDLESHAM: Kelly, Williams, Sandalls, Robinson (c), Leggat, Roberts, Jefkins, Parsons, Bayley, Phillips, Dowdell. Subs: Jefkins, Williams, Watts, McCoy, Bassil.
Lancing Utd 0 Bosham 2
Southern Combination division two
Bosham began their new SCFL season with a firm statement of intent in sealing a comfortable win at newly-promoted Lancing United.
The Reds, division two cup champions were looking to start with a bang and send a message to the other teams and two second-half, goals saw them do just that.
It was a very blustery afternoon at the Croshaw ground, with Bosham taking advantage of the wind in the first half.
In their change blue strip they struggled to cope with conditions.
Marco Giambelardini looked sharp and fellow strike partners Graeme Dowden and Alex Barnes ably supported him but chances were few.
Close to the half-hour, Dowden unleashed a strong effort that smacked the crossbar with keeper Steve Allfrey rooted to the spot.
Right on half-time Lancing had their best chance when Mark O’Regan got in on goal but he sent his effort wide.
Bosham settled the better from the re-start and, though the harsh wind was against them, they used their quality well.
Bradley Miles was creating, Barnes and Dowden finding gaps and the reward came when Barnes got free in the box and was found unmarked to fire a cross-shot under Allfrey and in.
Late on, Giambelardini settled any Bosham nerves with a typically classy finish, curling an exquisite effort from the edge of the area into the bottom corner, past the outstretched hand of Allfrey.
Bosham held firm and kept the Lancing dangermen quiet to the delight of the management team of Andy Probee and Neil Redman.
Although fellow promoted side Jarvis Brook, won 18-0 (eighteen) against Ferring, Bosham can be pleased with the start to their campaign.
They have a trip to Montpellier Villa on Saturday and a first home game of the season on bank holiday Monday against Clymping at Walton Lane.
Bosham: Magee, Docherty, Bulbeck, Colinese, Bell, Barnes, Miles, Lafferty, Giambelardini, Dowden, Probee. Subs: Redman, Gilbert.

Fraser double makes it two wins in week for Rocks
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Bognor made it two wins in five days as James Fraser’s double made things sticky for Billericay.
Gary Charman had an outstanding game at the back as Jamie Howell’s men kept out a barrage of long balls to claim a victory that took them up to seventh in the Ryman premier.
The Rocks welcomed new signing Walter Figueira - a winger who has played at Chelsea and in the Greek top flight - into the squad and he started on the bench.
With Chad Field out through injury, Charman was in defence alongside Sami El-Abd.
For Billericay, Junior Luke’s through ball found Quentin Monville in the area but he went to ground after Fraser intervened. Claims for a foul were always likely to fall on deaf ears.
Ollie Pearce’s corner was only just bundled clear by a defender moments later with Fraser stretching for it.
Byrne’s shot was only partially pushed away and Figueira worked well to pass it back to Fraser, who slotted in from close range.
Billericay’s Sam Cross sent in a corner which Dan Beck cleared for another corner. This one fell to Junior Luke who brought the ball down before shooting wide.
Ricky Sappleton poked the ball forward to Luke but his touch saw the ball ricochet off the post and out with the goal at his mercy.
Dylan Barnett’s cross by the left was too much for Fraser – Pearce latched on to it but his low cross was swiftly cleared.
Bognor took the lead on 11 minutes. A long throw by Charman bounced over El-Abd and into the path of Fraser near the back post and he made no mistake slamming the ball low into the net.
Luke shot wide seconds later before Barnett fed James Crane with a pass. Crane struck a shot which forced Jack Giddens into a save.
Kyle Asante’s header was well gathered by Granger soon after.
El-Abd was replaced by Figueira on 21 minutes – the defender had tweaked his hamstring. Figueira went straight to his preferred wide right position.
Billericay forced a couple of corners but could not find the equaliser.
Figueira’s cross on the right was just too much for Thomas Byrne. Then Figueira’s late sliding challenge on Conor Hubble was punished with a yellow card.
Keeper Giddens spotted Billy Granger off his line with a free-kick from the halfway line, but Granger saved.
Pearce’s neat cross found Byrne and his header low towards goal was easily stopped by Giddens.
Bognor extended their lead on 34 minutes. Byrne’s shot was only partially pushed away and Figueira worked well to pass it back to Fraser, who slotted in from close range.
Charman’s long throw from the right found Fraser but his header bounced to Giddens.
Figueira blasted narrowly wide of the left post on 42 minutes.
Fraser’s cross had to be kicked out by Matt Young. The resulting corner by Pearce was too much for Ed Sanders.
Sappleton’s strike dipped before falling into Granger’s arms in two minutes of stoppage time.
HT 2-0
Bllericay made wholesale changes for the second half. Will Putt, Josh Oyinsan and Edvardas Gaurilovas replaced Cross, Pierre Hazet and Asante.
Sappleton and Hubble were causing problems for the Rocks but the defence did well to clear their lines on 49 minutes.
Granger gathered a cross by Luke, while a free-kick by Hubble was headed on in the area and Granger tipped the ball with his outstretched arms. Somehow Oyinsan failed to follow up from point-blank range as the ball rolled wide.
Byrne cut inside from the right to shoot low but wide.
Good work from Figueira on the right teed up Crane and his long-range effort from the right was only just off-target.
Figueira was replaced by Jimmy Wild, who won a corner on 66 minutes. Pearce’s corner and a follow-up kick were both defended well.
Wild latched on to a Pearce back-heel to speed through and shoot. His attempt bounced wide with Giddens beaten.
Oyinsan capitalised on Beck slipping up in midfield. He passed it forward to Monville, who squared up before shooting well wide on 74 minutes.
Darren Budd replaced Tuck on 82 minutes.
Granger had to gather another high ball from a long Giddens free-kick with everyone in the box on 85 minutes.
Good work from Wild saw him set up Pearce for a cross to Byrne, who struck an effort only just over the bar.
Four minutes were added on but Bognor defended well to take the points.
Bognor welcome local rivals Worthing to Nyewood Lane on bank holiday Monday (3pm) - get there in plenty of time as a large crowd is expected.
Rocks: Granger, Sanders, Crane, Tuck (Budd 82), Charman, El-Abd (Figueira 21 (Wild 63)), Fraser, Beck (c), Byrne, Pearce, Barnett. Unused Subs: Parsons, Muitt

Chichester couple in ‘emotional’ meeting with child they sponsor
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Meeting the teenager they have been sponsoring in Uganda has proved an emotional experience for Chichester couple Peter and Pauline Sutton.
The pair have just returned from the African country, where they met 13-year-old David, the child they have been sponsoring for six years through child development charity Compassion UK.
Meeting David's father, stepmother and siblings
Pauline, 67, a retired nurse, said: “Meeting David was an amazing and emotional experience. It was wonderful to see where he lives and meet his extended family.
Peter, 63, added: “We were also very impressed by the love, care and support he was receiving from the Compassion team.”
David lives on the plains of Kidongole, north west of Mbale in eastern Uganda, where houses are typically constructed of dirt floors, mud walls and thatched roofs.
He lives under the care of his father, stepmother and siblings and they depend on subsistence farming.
Most adults in the area are unemployed but some work as farmers and earn the equivalent of around £10 per month.
Peter said: “We wanted to show David our support and especially encourage him in his studies, as he finds reading difficult.
“The Compassion staff have played a big role in building his confidence. He now has a tremendous sense of belonging and feels safe and secure, he is being nurtured in a caring environment where he receives the educational and spiritual support to grow into a responsible young man.”
Compassion UK says that in most parts of Uganda, education is encouraged and viewed as important, indicated by the government making the first two years of secondary education free.
However, large classes of up to 75 children are common, along with a lack of teaching resources and equipment for the classrooms, leading to a poor quality of schooling.
Peter and Pauline’s sponsorship of £25 a month enables David to be part of his local Compassion project, where he receives nutritious meals, emotional support, medical attention and the chance to get a good quality education.
Since returning to the UK, the couple have been passionate about encouraging others to sponsor a child like David.
They explained: “It’s a life-changing experience for both you and the child, our support has enabled David to have aspirations for the future as he grows into a young man.”

GCSE results: Twin sisters share 22 top grades

www.chichester.co.uk

Twin sisters who both go to St Philip Howard Catholic High School achieved some quite phenomenal GCSE results today.
Katherine and Emily Broadhurst, from Lyminster, shared a staggering 22 A* and A grades between them.
Katherine gained three A*s, seven As and one B, while Emily got five A*s and six As.
They admit there was competition between them, but that it’s always friendly as they helped each other revise for their exams.
“We’re both really happy,” Katherine said. “We studied hard together, we made index cards for each other.
“I was actually hoping to do a bit better, the one B is quite annoying.”
Emily added: “I won’t be rubbing it in too much (about doing slightly better). We’re really happy for each other.”
St Philip Howard in Barnham celebrated some of their best ever results, see the full story here

Heads share concerns over university fees
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Sussex headteachers have shared their concerns about the rising cost of university education.
With a number of universities in England announcing they would be raising their annual fees above the £9,000 limit, there are fears higher education could once again become the playground of the elite.
Michael Ferry, Headteacher at St Wilfrid's, Crawley. Pic Steve Robards SR1520189 SUS-150820-140229001
Michael Ferry, head of St Wilfrid’s School, in Crawley, said the idea of increasing fees was “alarming” and added: “This will only put students off from entering university as they will be saddled with increased amounts of debt.
“Although many schools, including St Wilfrid’s, spend a lot of time demystifying what you pay for and when, it will certainly put people off from applying if fees rise.
“If we are not careful as a society, we will go back in time to an age when only a small minority were able to access a university place and even they were given a grant to do so.”
Peter Woodman, head of The Weald School, in Billingshurst, said he did not think students had been put off by the high fees, but were more selective about their choices.
We should do everything we can to ensure that access to university is fair and that people get in on merit, not because of which school they went to or how much money their parents have. Michael Ferry, headteacher, St Wilfrid’s School
He added: “They want to go to a university where the teaching is good and the support first class. They do not just want a degree.
“They want the right course that is also value for money and provides them with the right educational experience for their next step in life.”
When it came to earning a place at university, Mr Woodman felt the increasingly difficult A-levels would lead to a fall in the numbers making the grade.
He agreed the rising fees could also see students from less well-off backgrounds deciding the cost was too high.
Currently, any student debts not paid back after 30 years are wiped out and there are that, if that safety net was withdrawn, talented youngsters would choose to enter employment or an apprenticeship rather than achieving their full potential at university.
Mr Woodman recognised the difficulties faced by the government when it scrapped free university education.
He pointed out the percentage of students participating in higher education had risen from 10 per cent in the 1980s to more than 40 per cent and added: “This comes at a cost.
“Providing virtually free higher education to 10 per centr of the population was one thing but providing it to over 40 per cent of the population is expensive.”
Summing up his feeling, Mr Ferry said: “Universities are great places for their further development and although not everyone wants to apply, we should do everything we can to ensure that access to university is fair and that people get in on merit, not because of which school they went to or how much money their parents have.”
Mr Woodman agreed, describing a framed extract of a speech made by playwright Alan Bennett, which hangs in his office.
Called Fair Play, it reads: “We all know that to educate, not according to ability but according to the social situation of the parents, is both wrong and a waste.”
He said: “I whole heartedly agree. As such, I worry that increasing university fees yet again will allow the sons and daughters of those who can afford university to go and those who cannot afford it, not to go.
“Unless mechanisms are put in place to encourage and support those students and families this would be both unfair and a tragic waste of potential.”

Co-operative team volunteers with Chichester Food Bank

www.chichester.co.uk

Seven extra pairs of hands helped pull together food parcels at Chichester’s Food Bank warehouse.
The warehouse team benefitted from the extra volunteers, who are from The Southern Co-operative, on August 3.
They pulled together to create 50 food parcels for those in need.
The Southern Co-operative colleagues, including directors, chief operating officers and the chief executive, helped to sort goods, clean and clear shelves for new goods and put together 50 food packs, weighing in at 455.4kg.
Keith Selby, a long-term volunteer for the Chichester Food Bank warehouse, said: “It is extremely important that we have groups of people like the volunteers today who give up their time to help us as our warehouse is run by volunteers.
“From a small beginning, we have become a lifeline for many people and rely solely on donations and volunteer help.”
The Chichester Trussell Trust Food Bank’s warehouse is run entirely by volunteers and has fed 7,227 people, of which 4,298 were adults and 2,929 were children, by providing 2,998 food parcels since its inception in September 2012.
Mark Smith, chief executive of The Southern Co-operative who took part in the volunteering, said: “Across our food stores and funeral homes, we have a large quantity of food bank drop off points, so it has been fantastic to come here today and see, help and be a part of the next stages of the process.”
The food parcels created by The Southern Co-operative colleagues contained a variety of essential food products, including pasta, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tinned meat, baked beans and more. Each parcel includes approximately three days’ worth of food and weighs about 9kg.
The Chichester Food Bank foodbank is a project founded by local churches and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in the local area.
It provided three days worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis.
It is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

COUNTY NEWS: Missing swimmer ‘found safe and well’
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

The swimmer believed to have been missing at a Sussex beach has been found, the coastguard has announced.
In a statement released by HM Coastguard, it said the reason for the major search at Camber Sands was that lifeguards were not on duty at the time it was reported. Click here to read more about the search.
The RNLI has provided five to six lifeguards who are working from 9am to 6pm this Bank Holiday weekend at the beach.
A spokesperson for the coastguard said: “There was major reason for concern as this is a dangerous beach and lifeguards were not on yet on duty at the time the swimmer was missed. It’s a great relief that this person has been found safe and well.”
It comes after five men lost their lives at the beach on Wednesday.
A statement from Sussex Police said: “Police were called at around 9.40am on Sunday (28 August) to report concern for the welfare of a woman who was seen entering the sea on Camber Sands Beach at around 8am.
“It was believed the woman, who was described as white with dark hair and wearing a black swimming costume, had left a pair of sandals on the beach which had still not been retrieved.
“Officers helped both the Coastguard and RNLI conduct a thorough search of the coastline, which included the Coastguard helicopter.
“A woman matching the description of the swimmer called the RNLI at around 11.45 am to identify herself.
“The search has been called off and police are no longer dealing.”

REVIEW: ARUNDEL FESTIVAL ORGAN RECITAL, ARUNDEL CATHEDRAL
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Arundel Cathedral once again was the imposing venue for the 30th Annual Festival Organ Recital
Organised by the “Plumley Collection”, founded by the redoubtable Nick and Sarah Plumley, this year’s recital featured ace-organist Neil Wright from Farnborough Abbey, exchanging the Abbey’s Parisian Cavaillé-Coll instrument for the restored 1873 Hill organ of the Cathedral.
Neil specializes in French organ works by 19/20 century composers such as Theodore Dubois, Cesar Franck, Jean Langlais and Maurice Durufle. The only two exceptions today were the immortal J.S.Bach and Wright himself, who today gave the 1st performance (and possibly his last) of his own Improvisation on a hymn tune handed to him by Nick only seconds away from the performance!
Organists are expected to improvise at the beginning and end of Sunday services, and it takes considerable talent, ingenuity and daring to create a substantial piece using a given theme. Wright studied both improvisation and composition with some of the world’s finest teachers, winning prizes and performing in many countries across Europe
The organ is known as the King of Instruments, producing a plethora of magical sounds and effects in the capable hands (and feet) of the right performer. Today we were transported into the ether in “Fiat Lux” (Let there be light), the triumphs of “Pièce Heroique” and the glory of “Te Deum” (Praise be to God), as well as the spell-binding celestial sounds of “Pièce Modal de Re” and “Prelude and Fugue sur le nom d’Alain” Even the great J S Bach’s contribution sported a French title “Pièce d’Orgue”
Wright also studied piano, harpsichord and clavichord, and in addition worked as a choral director, organist and singer in the United States, founding and directing Lauda early music ensemble. But it was as a virtuoso organist that Wright earned the appreciation of today’s audience.

Retiring? Then West Sussex is the place to be
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

West Sussex provides the second best area in England and Wales for quality of life for pensioners a new report claims.
The Quality of Retirement Index from Prudential assessed counties against seven criteria to indicate the extent to which people could enjoy a happy and comfortable retirement. These were: access to healthcare, crime levels, pensioner incomes, the weather, life expectancy, how many pensioners already lived in a particular area and how many were moving into the county. The counties were then given a score and ranked.
Prudential used data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) among other sources to make its findings. Dorset topped the table but West Sussex and Herefordshire came joint second, with Devon in fourth position and the Isle of Wight and East Sussex ranked joint fifth. Prudential said Dorset topped the rankings for quality of retirement owing to its “all-round appeal”. The research also found pensioners in Surrey, ranked at number 10, received the highest average annual retirement income, at £21,200. The full table is:
1. Dorset =2. Herefordshire =2. West Sussex 4. Devon =5. Isle of Wight =5. East Sussex 7. Rutland 8. Dyfed 9. Norfolk 10. Surrey

Arcari offers Brighton gig ahead of album
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Scottish alt blues singer Dave Arcari follows up the release of his latest EP Hellbound Train with a live show at Brighton’s Komedia on Thursday, September 22.
Released on Buzz Records, the EP features three new tracks from Dave plus a version of Son House’s classic Pearline.
Other than the release of McPherson’s Lament as a digital single to mark Burns’ Day earlier in the year, this is Arcari’s first release in three years – and pre-empts a full-length album Givers & Takers which is scheduled for release in early 2017.
“I’ve been working on a whole bunch of new songs for a while,” says Dave. “But despite plans to record and release them long before now, things have been so busy on the road there just hasn’t been time – not that I can complain about that!”
After his Brighton visit Arcari plays the Beaufort Theatre, Ebbw Vale (Saturday, September 24) and Balmaha’s Braw Weekend festival (Saturday, October 1) on the shores of Loch Lomond before heading across the Atlantic for a five-week USA tour through October and into November.

The parents of a teenager whose body was found on Thursday have paid a heartfelt tribute to their ‘beautiful girl’ and released a photograph of her, Sussex police has said.
Sharon Grice and Richard Green of Hove, parents of Shana Grice, 19, said: “Shana is our beautiful girl, a kind thoughtful, caring daughter who always thought of others.

“We would like to thank Ashley and his family for their support.

“We would like to ask that our privacy be respected through this difficult time.”
According to Sussex Police, Ashley was Shana’s current boyfriend.
Shana’s body was found at her address in Chrisdory Road, Mile Oak, on Thursday morning.
The 27-year old man arrested on Thursday on suspicion of murder in Burgess Hill is still in custody for interview and further enquiries, police said.
Magistrates at Brighton today granted a warrant authorising his continued detention if necessary until Sunday.
A post-mortem is currently taking place in Brighton but is not expected to conclude until later tonight.

Anger at every A27 option at packed meeting
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
More than 180 people attended a ‘highly charged’ meeting where strong objections were voiced against proposed plans for Chichester’s A27.
Organised by Donnington’s Canal Walk Residents’ Association, attendees also included representatives from Chichester City, Stockbridge, Whyke, Apuldram, Birdham, Sidlesham, North Mundham, Almodington, Selsey, Earnley and North Chichester.
Anger was voiced against all of the options, especially Option 2
Following the presentation there were highly charged discussions bringing forward strong objections to the proposed plans.
A local resident at the event said: “None of the current options will resolve the existing congestion.
“The distance from Fishbourne roundabout to Portfield roundabout on A27 is 3.5 miles, which takes anything from 30 to 45 minutes.
“Saving seconds and spending nearly £300 million on local and through journey times is not a solution and represents very poor value for money.”
People were queuing out the door
Highways England is currently consulting on five different options to upgrade the stretch of the A27, ranging from £47m to £280m.
The audience at the meeting were particularly vocal in their rejection of Highways England’s proposed Option 2, which includes a new Stockbridge Link Road.
Opposition cited multiple ‘disastrous’ effects that the link road would have in terms of pollution, noise and transferred traffic congestion being moved off the A27 onto the Manhood Peninsula roads.
The negative impact on tourism, on which many of the Manhood businesses rely, was of particular concern.
The audience also heard that 20 buildings and homes would have to be demolished, including a listed early 17th century house.
The anticipated journey time improvement for local traffic of just two minutes and ten seconds, after an investment of £280 million and 41 months of misery during construction, was met with particular derision.
There were strong views expressed that the only true solution would be to build a new northern bypass - an option which was being considered before being dropped ahead of the ten-week public consultation period, which runs until September 22.
One man even came to the meeting armed with an original copy of the 1970s Highway’s proposal for a northern bypass.
Donnington resident Jane Rowe said afterwards: “The general mood from people at the meeting last night was one of Highways forcing us to comment on options, none of which will resolve the congestion issue on the A27.
“Not only that, new access restrictions to the A27, habitually used as a local route, will bring more misery for Manhood Peninsula traffic.
“We appreciate the work Highways England has done so far, however Manhood Peninsular residents urge them to think again.”

A body has washed up on Littlehampton beach, police have confirmed.
Sussex Police said they were contacted this afternoon with reports that a body had been washed up.
A spokesperson added that the coastguard were involved, and that the coroner’s office has been informed.
Police officers are currently closing down the scene.
It is thought to be the body of the diver that went missing on Saturday off the coast of Bognor Regis – but police said they were unable to confirm the identity of the body.

A moment years in the making for Pompey keeper
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
It’s a moment which has been eight years in the making.
Tonight at Yeovil Town, Liam O’Brien will pull on the goalkeeper’s jersey for Pompey.

His senior competitive bow is something the 24-year-old has been dreaming of since signing for the Blues in 2008.
O’Brien departed Fratton Park in 2011 but has seen his career come full circle with a return earlier this month.
Now he will get his chance at Huish Park in the Checkatrade Trophy southern group A fixture.
It may be a much-maligned competition which has created headlines for the wrong reasons but try telling O’Brien the game doesn’t have its merits.
The former Pompey Academy talent is excited about the prospect of going between the sticks with the star and crescent on his chest.
O’Brien said: ‘I never had the chance to stay before. I would have if it was my choice.
‘But I’m grateful to be back now. I just want to show everyone what I can do.
‘It’ll be brilliant to play. I’ve never had the chance to play a first-team game for Portsmouth before. It’s going to be a proud moment.
‘It’s a professional game of football. I am going to have my name on the back of the shirt and a Portsmouth badge on the front.
‘I don’t care what is being said about this competition.
‘It’s 90 minutes of football and I’m here to play games. It’s something I’m really looking forward to.
‘I know now you want to get as many games as you can because you never know when your last one is going to arrive.’
O’Brien completed his Pompey comeback on a short-term deal, signing for an initial month with Amine Linganzi.
The London-born talent is keen to remain when that agreement comes to a close and is hopeful he can provide back-up to David Forde for the remainder of the campaign.
He said: ‘What happens happens but I hope I’ve done enough to stay.
‘We’ll wait and see but I know I’ve given everything while I’m here.’
O’Brien’s two stints at Pompey have been punctuated by stays with Barnet, Brentford and Dagenham & Redbridge.
He found himself looking for a new club, however, in the summer with the likes of Leyton Orient, Eastleigh and Nuneaton Borough keen on securing his services.
O’Brien decided to remain patient, however, and that was a policy which paid off.
He said: ‘I was trialling at clubs and offered a few contracts.
‘But sometimes you get offered something and it just doesn’t feel right.
‘So I said to my agent I wanted to hold out for a little bit longer and see what comes.
‘That’s when Portsmouth got in touch with me. I could’ve easily gone somewhere else.
‘I went to Orient and they said they liked me and I went to Eastleigh.
‘I also played for Nuneaton who offered me a contract.
‘I wanted to stay in the league so it feels like fate Portsmouth came in for me.’

Goodwood underage gambing operation finds 65% of bets illegal
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Thirteen out of 20 illegal bets were accepted when an underage gambling operation was carried out at a Goodwood race meeting.
A statement from Chichester District Council said test purchases took place at the end of July and were led by its licensing team, in partnership with representatives of Goodwood Racecourse, the Gambling Commission and Sussex Police.
A total of 20 test purchases were made by authorised police cadets, who were all aged under 18, the council said.
Thirteen illegal bets were accepted without challenge and seven were refused.
The results mean that 65 per cent of the bets placed were illegal.
The operation followed a similar format to others which have taken place at racecourses across England and Wales, which have all had the full support of the Gambling Commission and racecourse operators.
The council said the results highlighted the need for bookmakers to be more vigilant in preventing minors placing illegal bets.
Councillor Roger Barrow, cabinet member for environment. said: “We have a legal responsibility to protect children and young people from being harmed or exploited by gambling.
“Test purchase operations like these allow us to measure the levels of compliance.
“They highlight where any work needs to be undertaken with operators to raise awareness of the law.
“The results are now being carefully considered and the appropriate follow up action will be taken with each bookmaker who failed a test.
“Proactive discussions will be held with Goodwood to see if there is any further work they can do to help prevent licensed bookmakers operating on their premises accepting bets from those who are underage.“
Sarah Bullen, operations manager at Goodwood Racecourse, said about the exercise: “Goodwood fully supports this initiative and we continue to work to ensure the proper controls on gambling are in place at the course.
“We will always work with the authorities in the best interests of young people who attend our events.”

Restaurant Review: Halfway by name but no half measures
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
On the neighbouring table a party of four were celebrating an 18th birthday.
Coincidentally, we knew the Dudmans but hadn’t seen them in some years.
The Halfway Bridge
Now daughter Emily had reached the first key milestone in her life and had persuaded family and friends that she wanted to mark it with a lunch at the Halfway Bridge.
What made the choice the more remarkable was that for more than a year, Emily has worked there serving at tables.
Most youngsters would rather celebrate a birthday anywhere but the place of work. But clearly Emily knew quality when she saw it - and had an ambition to enjoy a taste of it as a customer too.
New head chef Luke Gale had made her a stunning cake with a handcrafted and rather cute little elephant on the top.
The Halfway Bridge
She was thrilled.
But then, Luke is something of a culinary wonder. A rare find in a country pub.
His plates are not merely packed with local produce, they are presented with a certain creative elegance.
We chatted to him as we left. A trained pastry chef he is as unassuming as he is talented. In his six months since he arrived, he’s made a number of changes to the menu.
The Halfway Bridge
For him it’s about preparing everything from scratch.
He’s good. The food is excellent. It aims to focus on seasonal dishes with a traditional English and Mediterranean flair.
When we visited on a Saturday lunchtime, there was a choice of the set menu - two courses £18; three courses £22 - or the a la carte. Some daily specials increased our options.
The prices are dearer than you would find in city centre chain restaurants. But this is unpretentious quality dining.
The Halfway Bridge
For those wanting something more akin to pub grub, there are the classics. Beer battered haddock, hand cut chips, pea puree (£15.50) or chargrilled burger with all the trimmings (£14.50).
This is, after all, a country inn and is proud of the traditional drinking area even though the restaurant is an increasingly vital part of the economic mix of places to which most customers must drive.
It’s an old pub - standing for some 250 years. And as the name suggests, it’s located half way between Midhurst and Petworth.
Originally a watermill it became a coaching inn in the 17th century and now offers six en-suite rooms and one suite housed in Cowdray Barns, the inn’s former stable yard.
The young team is led by general manager Billy Lewis-Bowker, a man with a warm smile and a reassuring sense of calm.
Sophie served us. But I guess on any other day it could have been Emily.
The Halfway Bridge
Fish of the day and roast loin of pork followed starters of homemade soup, and gin and tonic cured sea trout.
Strawberries and cream with a twist and warm triple chocolate brownie with honeycomb and lime ice cream completed the meal.
It’s a beautiful location in the heart of the South Downs for an inn.
On the day of our visit, the weather was mixed. Sunshine one moment, rain the next.
But there was nothing mixed about the quality of the visit. The service was pleasant and the food was excellent. A real cut above pub grub.
It was all in the detail. The slight bitterness of the tonic gave a real edge to the sea trout.
The triple chocolate brownie oozed temptation.
Although we were invited guests of the AA rosette restaurant, there was no link to a commercial arrangement with them. We were there to write an honest opinion.
We raised a glass of Upperton sparkling rose to celebrate the chance meeting of Emily and her family.
And - having checked out other diners’ meals to ensure no favouritism - vowed to return and enjoy a little more of Luke’s cooking when we were off duty too.
There were no half measures at the Halfway Bridge.

An armed man involved in a 40-hour stand off with police has been arrested ‘on suspicion of threats to kill’ in Pagham this morning, police have confirmed.
Police have said that ambulance and fire services were called forward this morning (August 30) as the 72-year-old man threatened to set fire to the house, but at 8.42am he told police that he was leaving the property and a few minutes later, he left, closing the door behind him.
According to police, the incident ‘ended peacefully’ just after 8.45am.
He was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, according to Sussex Police.
The man had communicated with police negotiators since emergency services were called to the house in Harbour Road at 4.10pm on Sunday.
Acting assistant chief constable Steve Whitton said: “This was a long, complex and challenging negotiation, but I am delighted to say that it has ended peacefully and safely as this was always our absolute priority.
“I also pay tribute to all the police officers and staff involved for their professionalism and determination to resolve this safely.”
He added: “It has resulted in considerable disruption for residents in the area and I would like to thank them for their patience and understanding as we have strived to bring this to a safe conclusion for everyone involved.
“I would also like to thank our colleagues from the fire and ambulance services who have waited patiently in support of the operation.
“There will be a police presence at the house for a while, but most of the officers involved are now being stood down.”

Super Saturday will be highlight of Goodwood’s wonderful weekend - preview and tips
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Goodwood bosses believe race-goers are in for an ‘amazing’ afternoon’s racing on Saturday with a top-class card set to be the centrepiece of an action-packed three days on the Downs.
The Group 2 Doom Bar Celebration Mile - the biggest race Goodwood stages each year outside of Glorious - has attracted a high-calibre field.
It will be the highlight of a day that wouldn’t be out of place at the Qatar Goodwood Festival and also features the Group 3 Prestige Stakes and two good-quality handicaps.
Past Goodwood performers including Toormore and Arod are in the frame and Sir Michael Stoute’s Thikriyaat - likely to go off favourite - has been added late to the line-up after fine performances at Newmarket and Royal Ascot were followed by victory in Goodwood’s Group 3 Thoroughbred Stakes at Glorious a month ago.
Lightning Spear and Zonderland make up the field of five in the Celebration Mile.
There are nine in the Prestige Stakes and a pleasing 75 runners for the whole Saturday card.
We’re all set for a wonderful weekend. The forecast is looking pretty good and we are delighted by entries. Alex Eade
Goodwood’s August Bank Holiday Festival begins this evening (Friday) with six races including the Chichester Observer Maiden Stakes, followed by a spectacular fireworks finale.
Sunday’s seven-race card includes the Group 3 Doom Bar Supreme Stakes.
Racecourse general manager Alex Eade said: “We’re all set for a wonderful weekend. The forecast is looking pretty good and we are delighted by entries.
“The theme for the whole weekend is on seaside holidays of yesteryear and there will be plenty of entertainment to appeal to all ages.”
Fire-eaters, flame dancers, Batala drummers, acrobats, stilt walkers and a musical firework display will all help create a carnival atmosphere at the racecourse.
Racegoers of all ages can enjoy an interactive circus, a petting zoo, a vintage Punch and Judy show, face-painting, an inflatable golf net, an old-fashioned fairground, a mock beach-front, fish and chips and ice creams.
The Class of 58 band will be rock‘n’rolling the Saturday and Sunday to a close.
Eade said: “We are thrilled to welcome back Starlight – the award-winning firework team that did the display for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations – who will be providing another incredible show on the Friday night.
“This fixture is a real highlight of our season and is so popular with families, so it is great that we’re able to offer free admission for children under 18.”
Our tips for Friday: 5.00 Guanabara Bay, 5.35 Celestial Spheres, 6.05 La Casa Tarifa, 6.40 Tyrell, 7.10 Laugh Aloud, 7.45 Baltic Prince.
Tips for Saturday: 2.10 Bella Alissa, 2.45 On Her Toes, 3.20 Mister Universe, 3.55 Platitude, 4.30 Toormore, 5.05 Dawn Mirage, 5.40 Kismet Hardy.
* Tickets for the August Bank Holiday fixture start from £10, with complimentary admission for accompanied under-18s.

Diver lost at sea

www.chichester.co.uk

A diver has been lost at sea after a five-hour search by the coastguard and RNLI near the coast of Selsey and Bognor Regis.
The coastguard in Dover requested both Selsey RNLI lifeboats to launch at 3.48pm yesterday after the dive boat Huntress 4 reported a diver from the vessel had failed to resurface after a drift dive.
The volunteer crew mustered and both boats launched at just after 4pm and proceeded to the position given by the dive boat which was three miles north east of the Selsey lifeboat station, the RNLI said.
Both Littlehampton RNLI lifeboats and the coastguard rescue helicopter from Lee-on-the-Solent were sent to the incident.
The Huntress 4 and the charter vessel Final Answer also assisted in the search, the RNLI added.
The RNLI said the weather was calm, with smooth seas and hazy sunshine.
The area was comprehensively searched by all units with unfortunately nothing found, it said.
At 9.10pm all the search units were stood down and returned to their stations.

www.chichester.co.uk

A drop in supportive singing group is looking for new members.
Sing Your Heart Out is supported by the Medical Centre and the arts charity, Arts Dream Selsey, who helped founder Belinda Gannon get further funding from the Santander Foundation.
The group has grown steadily in numbers, and the group will be starting to meet again at the beginning of September.
People do not have to have any prior singing or musical knowledge. The group’s aims are to help people make friends, relieve stress and lift spirits through the medium of singing.
Belinda said: “People attend for all sorts of reasons, perhaps recently bereaved, recovering from hospital stays, new to the area and lonely. We all look after each other and tears are shed most weeks but also lots of laughter too! Each each week somebody volunteers to make cakes which we all enjoy over a cuppa!”

Sleepiness linked to traffic noise and pollution
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Nodding off in the middle of the day may be down to pollution generated by traffic, suggests new research.
The study shows exposure to traffic pollution is a trigger for daytime sleepiness - and may also trigger SNORING.
More than 12,000 adults were included in the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE) study.
The findings show that people exposed to high levels of pollution had a 65 per cent greater chance of suffering from daytime sleepiness, compared to those who had no exposure.
Traffic noise in the bedroom was also a trigger - with people 46 per cent more likely to feel sleepy in the day if exposed.
And the research also suggests that people are also 29 per cent more likely to be a habitual snorer if they are exposed to traffic noise while they sleep.
Daytime sleepiness affected one in five people involved in the study, while one in four reported habitual snoring.
Ane Johannessen, an epidemiologist at Bergen University in Norway, wrote the study together with Professor Thorarinn Gislason and other Northern European researchers.
She said: “Exposure to traffic should be taken into account when planning treatment for patients with sleep disturbances, because reducing noise and pollution exposure in the bedroom may have a beneficial effect.
“Reducing exposure through relocating the bedroom away from pollution sources or making the bedroom more soundproof to protect against traffic noise, as well as mapping alternative and less polluted outdoor everyday routes may help patients with their sleep disorders.”
The study also showed that men, older subjects, smokers and those with lower education were more likely to report habitual snoring.
They were usually less physically active, with a higher BMI, and more likely to have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
Women, older people, smokers, and those with lower education were more likely to report daytime sleepiness.
The new research is due to be presented at the European Respiratory Society’s International Congress in London next month.
Professor Jorgen Vestbo, President of ERS and Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Manchester, said: “The question of who snores may be a running joke in some households but for many snoring is a serious issue, with direct links to physical and mental well being and the same is true for daytime sleepiness.
“We want people to think more about the environment around them and the impact it can have - from the way they sleep to the air they breathe.”
To coincide with Congress, the ERS will be holding some free public lung function testing, starting in Trafalgar Square on September 2 and 3.

How to take the perfect Summer-Selfie
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
New research conducted by Foster Grant has established the average person takes around nine shots before choosing the perfect photo to put on Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook but are you of the many that feel like they are missing a trick and just can’t get it right?
Take a leaf out of Kylie Jenner’s book and follow these easy to remember tips to make the most of your pictures;
Tip 1
Try different angles
Most of us have a “good side” and by tilting your head to the right it tends to be more interesting than just a straight on shot and can also be a more flattering angle. Taking a photo from above is also a great way of displaying different angles and can highlight all the bits you want to show off.
Tip 2
Don’t underestimate good lighting and a filter- from black and white to sepia tones- accentuate your features and bring out your inner model with your Instagram filters or just pose with a good ray of sunshine on your face.
Tip 3
Get creative
Take a selfie snorkelling in the sea or the side of a mountain. Not only is the scenery eye catching but you will be the envy of all your friends. Don’t be afraid to use accessorise and incorporate these items into your selfie. New glasses, big jewellery and rings are great at grabbing people’s attention
Tip 4
Use your arms as a frame- whether single armed or using both, let your arms show the rest of your body off, just be careful your fingers don’t cover the lens! If you are not a fan of the extended arm selfie then you should definitely consider a selfie stick.
Tip 5
Show off your personality. Smile, frown, laugh make a silly face or pout- just try and avoid the duckface where possible. When you share your picture let your friend feel the true essence of you.
For all this watch the video featuring blogger Kativa Donkersely for her top tips on how to get the celeb inspired selfie from the likes of Kylie Jenner herself as well as trendsetters Rihanna and Gigi Hadid
