All evidence makes it clear that we cannot afford to wait to avoid catastrophic consequences. How much time do we have? The mounting crisis of energy prices, national security and global warming can be eased in part with the development of shallow water wind farms.

AUTRYVILLE — Twelve-year-old Jonathan Pounders probably just wishes everybody would leave him alone. After all, it’s kind of embarrassing when your little sister’s friends call you ‘superhero’ and ask for your autograph. And then there’s all those newspaper people hanging around, wanting to take pictures of you and ask you all those weird questions. But Jonathan takes it in stride — ducking his head and smiling shyly. By now he knows that that’s what you get for being a good Samaritan. Jonathan, a seventh-grader at Roseboro/Salemburg Middle School, was standing outside his grandmother’s house in Autryville on Nov. 5 when he heard what sounded like a donkey braying in a nearby cornfield. It was noon on a school day, but Jonathan, who has ADHD and bipolar disorder, had been suspended for acting up, and he was waiting for his mother to take him to a doctor’s appointment in Chapel Hill.

Avril's hometown beckons
It's the little town where singer Avril Lavigne cut her teeth, but Napanee has other things to recommend it. It's close to Highway 401 and the main Montreal-Toronto rail line, so the necessary transportation links are there. Kingston and Belleville are within easy reach, so the benefits of a major urban centre are available. Perhaps best of all, the town has a well-preserved, Victorian-era downtown, as well as established residential neighbourhoods full of mature trees and large, affordable homes with wide verandas and lots of curb appeal. 7387 COUNTY RD. 9 ASKING PRICE: $419,000 AGENT: Jim Stafford, Century 21 Lanthorn Real Estate Ltd., Napanee THE PROPERTY: A detached home with four bedrooms and 1-1/2 bathrooms on a 206- by 219-foot lot. .
Saturday Question
I'm almost all the way relaxed and ready to take on the day (as Dr. Laura Schlessinger might say, if you tuned into her program with a relational problem) when I return to work. I appreciate that you folks have played nice today and hope you continue to do so. I also hope you enjoy the nice weather that has moved in on Coeur d'Alene. You can find your next-to-last unattended vacation Wild Card here. .
