City denies pastor's park permit during biker rally - By Mark Heinz A Sheridan pastor who wants to spread the gospel to the Hells Angels will have to find a place other than City Park to do it. That was the city council's decision Tuesday night when a request by Rev. Barry Moen of Third Day Ministries to set up a tent in the park died for lack of a motion. Moen told the council he wanted to set up a 30x40-foot tent from which to minister to the bikers, as well as tourists and others during the week in late July the Hells Angels plan to visit Cody. He said the tent would be staffed by members or friends of the church, some of whom are motorcycle enthusiasts. It's hoped that parking motorcycles outside the tent might draw some of the bikers' attention, he said. “We would just like to love the hell out of them, and then maybe they'd really be angels,” Moen said. But council president Sam Krone summed up the council's position when he told Moen he supports the philosophy of the mission, but doesn't think it would work in City Park. With band concerts and a farmer's market already planned that week, the park might be crowded, he said. Other council members expressed concern that allowing the evangelists could set a precedent for more requests for special use of the park. |
| Everyone knows about pouring vinegar down the sink to freshen the smell, but don't pour vinegar right out of the bottle. First run the vinegar through the coffee pot to clean that, or do any of the other many chores you do with vinegar, and THEN run the USED vinegar down the sink. It works just as well, and you save even more. | North Korean missile firing heightens regional tension A multiple missile or rocket firing by North Korea on 8 March raised tensions in Northeast Asia, writes David C Isby. However, reports from South Korea, Japan and the US showed divergence as to the number and type of weapons that were fired. Subsequent Congressional testimony by US combatant commanders, however, suggested that at least three of the firings were of a new solid-propellant short-range ballistic missile (SRBM). Serve one "frugal" meal a week. Whether you offer soup and bread or rice and beans, one frugal meal a week can often save another $5 to $10 dollars. And in most cases, your family will easily accept this for one meal! |
| There have been many classic wrestling characters through the years: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts, Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage. Joining that group is the Honky Tonk Man, who will be paying a visit to Cochrane with Stampede Wrestling May 12 at Spray Lake Arena. While Honky was best known as a villain during the height of his popularity with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the late ‘80s, Cochrane wrestling fans will see a slightly different version of the old-school favorite when he comes to town . “Right now I’m really a good guy,” says Wayne Farris, now 53. “The fans love to see me. They love to chat with me again and see that I’m still around and always doing what I always did.” Getting his start in professional wrestling back in 1976 with the independent Outlaw Federation in southern Missouri, the Honky Tonk Man brought his act to Canadian fans and Stampede Wrestling in Calgary back in 1982. “I was known all across Canada before I ever went to the WWF,” he recalls. “That kind of helped my career in WWF as far as being known by the fans in Canada before the American fans had ever seen this Honky Tonk Man gimic.” And his time spent in Calgary left him with more than just professional benefits. His wife Tammy is a Calgarian and his son, Roy, was born in Calgary. But it was in the WWF, beginning in 1986, that he and his Elvis-like character became an international star, holding the Intercontinental belt for an unprecedented 15 months starting in 1987. “That was the highlight of my career,” Farris admits. “That took me from mid-card to upper-card status, then to main-event level. |

| Did you forget to turn the coffee off again? Don't ruin the carafe by scrubbing with harsh cleansers, add a few teaspoons of salt and some crushed ice. Let it sit for a minute, then swirl the mixture. Most of the burnt coffee should come off, the rest will be loosened so that it will wipe out fairly easily. |

The Atlantic, Caribbean, and the
Gulf of Mexico Public Announcement May 03, 2006 This Public Announcement is being issued to alert U.S. citizens to the upcoming Hurricane Season in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. The official hurricane season runs from June through November. This Public Announcement expires on December 7, 2006. The National Weather Service
predicts that the 2006 hurricane season will be as active as the
2005 season, when 27 named storms and 15 hurricanes caused
widespread havoc, billions of dollars in infrastructure damage,
and resulted in thousands of fatalities. Many U.S. citizens
traveling abroad in the affected regions were forced to delay
their return to the United States due to infrastructure damage
to airports and limited flight availability. In a number of
incidents, flights were suspended and passengers faced long
delays due to a need to repair a damaged airport. Roads were
also washed out or obstructed by debris, adversely affecting
access to airports. In the event of a hurricane, travelers
should be aware that they may not have the means to depart the
area for 24-48 hours or more. |
