The year is 1987, and in an upstairs bedroom of a pebbledash house in the Ayrshire village of Dreghorn, a remarkable political journey is about to commence.

Here, beneath CND stickers and posters of the pop band Kajagoogoo, who inspired her bog brush haircut, 16-year-old Nicola Sturgeon fills out an application form to join the Scottish Nationalist Party.

The working-class daughter of an electrician and a housewife, she is driven by a burning hatred of Margaret Thatcher.

Q: The chemical information reported in The Fayetteville Observer poses a question. Will the commercial filters, like Pur and Brita, filter the chemical 1,4-dioxane from our drinking water? - J.H., Fayetteville

A: The Fayetteville Public Works Commission says conventional water treatment at public facilities is ineffective at removing this unregulated chemical that has been detected in Fayetteville tap water.

But the PWC says it can't speak for those home filtering products. We tried to reach spokesmen with the manufacturers of Brita and Pur.

We were unsuccessful in our efforts to reach Pur.

David Kargas, a spokesman for the Brita brand, said their filters are not certified for reducing 1,4-dioxane, which is not currently regulated. He said Brita filters are tested only for contaminants on which standards and testing methods have been established by the Environmental Protection Agency's Primary Drinking Water Regulations.

The manmade chemical is widely used in paint strippers, varnishes, dyes, greases and even some cosmetics and shampoos. The Environmental Protection Agency says it may cause cancer if consumed in large quantities over a lifetime.

State and PWC officials are trying to find the source of it in the Cape Fear River, where the chemical appears to be the most prevalent in North Carolina.

One of the researchers, Detlef Knappe, an N.C. State University environmental engineering professor, said he has begun sampling home filtering products for their ability to remove 1,4-dioxane, and he hopes to have the results in the next two to three months.

MELITA ISLAND When the Boy Scouts left their camp on Melita Island last fall, someone turned off the lights.

But then a short took them out completely.

Fixing an electrical problem on an island can be a tad more challenging than simply summoning an electrician.

In this case it involved laying 5,000 feet of new cable across the bottom of Flathead Lake, and six figures worth of money.

But the Boy Scouts announced this week that power to the island has been restored, thanks to a lot of volunteer help, not to mention the generosity of a contractor, a supplier and a utility company.

***

The problem, according to Mary Matelich, vice president for public relations for the Boy Scouts of America Montana Council, was in the power cable that stretched from the mainland to a transformer near the Melita Island lodge.

Installed in the early 1970s, it had already lasted twice as long as had been expected when it first went into use.

When Scout leaders boated out to the island in October to do routine maintenance work, they discovered ice cream oozing out of freezers, and lights that wouldnt turn on in the lodge.

Initial bids to replace the cable came in at $325,000 to $350,000, Matelich said. Thats when Peter Jones, program director for the Montana Council, took a different approach.

Gov. Bill Haslam will lead the 2015 Mule Day Parade as grand marshal.

The governor has been known to attend the festivities in the past, but this year, he will lead the charge in the annual equine event.

I always look forward to Mule Day, and I am incredibly honored to be this years grand marshal, Haslam said Thursday. This will be my sixth Mule Day, and it is one of my favorite Tennessee traditions.

The Knoxville native went to Emory University in 1976, where he met Crissy a Memphis woman who would later become his wife. Haslam graduated from the university with a history degree.

He and Crissy eventually married and settled in Knoxville, where the Haslam family managed a chain of gas stations. When Bill Haslam first started working for the company, the Pilot Corporation had 800 employees, which grew to more than 14,000 employees in 39 states when he left, according to his online biography.

In 2003, he became the mayor of Knoxville and was re-elected in 2007. Haslam was elected governor in 2010 and won the seat again in 2014.

For the second year, the Mule Day office has decided to choose an honorary grand marshal. This year, longtime volunteer Phil Byington was selected.

I think its quite an honor. I was really surprised when they wrote me the letter and told me about it, Byington said.

Originally from Missouri, Byington later moved to Michigan in 1943 where he raised mules. There he worked for General Motors as an industrial electrician.

He eventually stopped in Columbia in Spring 1998 after hearing about Mule Day while attending another mule-centered event. Byington found a campsite and noticed others around him still had some setting up to do. He was put to work and volunteered his experience as an electrician in helping attendees.

LEOMINSTER -- The lead programmer, electrician and driver of "Snaggle Tooth," a robot built by local students to compete in a regional robotics competition, summed up the effort needed to place sixth out of 36 teams last weekend in Springfield.

"It was hard until we learned how to do it," Cam Cardwell, 17, an electronics student in Leominster High School's Center for Technical Education Innovation program, said about the effort sponsored in part by the Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster.

For the 12th straight year, 18 local students from the Leominster and Fitchburg high schools, the Sizer School and Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School spent six weeks building a remote-controlled "bot" for the 2 1/2-minute competition held at the MassMutual Center.

This year's challenge was named "Recycle Rush," and teams had to design and build a 120-pound robot that could stack crates and recycling barrels and pick up litter, scoring points for each task completed.

Facing other teams of high-schoolers, many with robots built by professionals from General Motors, BAE Systems, NASA and the Clinton-based Nypro, the Terror Bots, the team's name, exceeded the high expectations of the team's mentors.

"This is, by far, the best group of students we've ever had," said Jacob Janssens, a Mount Wachusett Community College student and one of seven technical mentors who help provide the team direction.

His compliments were echoed by mentors Diana Alberti, a project manager for Comcast, Steve McNamara, a machine-shop instructor at LHS's CTEi, and Jon Blodgett, the teen-center director of the B&G Club of Leominster and Fitchburg.

The other four mentors are Bio-Techne engineer Jerry Westwood, and LHS instructors Mike Still and Todd Rathier, and Paul LaFebvre, who helps in the robotics lab at the B&G Club.

While each of the 18 students had a role in the development of the robot, one member of the team, 16-year-old Olivia Houle, is a seasoned veteran with 12 years of experience. Houle, a welding student at Monty Tech, began helping her father, Scott Houle, one of the founders of the robotics team and the plant manager of Steel-Fab Inc., build "bots" when she was only 4.

She provided all the welding for "Snaggle Tooth," so named because of the "teeth" on the lift mechanism used to grasp the crates and barrels during the competition.

Police have found the vehicle involved in the fatal hit and run accident on Harford Road in Fallston earlier this month.

Christian "Chris" John Widomski was struck near his home in the 2800 block of Harford Road in Fallston on the evening of March 5, while walking behind a snowblower he had borrowed from a neighbor, according to Maryland State Police.

The driver did not stop the dark colored Jeep Cherokee and continued north on Harford Road toward Route 152, police said.

Mr. Widomski was taken by ambulance to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air where he was pronounced dead.

The vehicle "has been located," Sgt. Marc Black, spokesman for MSP said Tuesday afternoon. "No one has been charged. The investigation is ongoing."

He did not know where or when the vehicle was found, saying that investigators are still looking into it.

Law enforcement agencies have been on the lookout for the vehicle, which has a lift kit, flared fenders and a silver push bumper, in the nearly two weeks since the accident and have followed up on numerous leads.

Despite the search for the vehicle, the police accident report states Mr. Widomski was as fault because he was in the roadway "improperly."

Mr. Widomski coached basketball, soccer and baseball with the Fallston rec sports programs and worked as an electrician for Electrico, Co., according to his obituary.

Anyone with information is asked to call 410-879-2101.

NEW YORK | A former electrician convicted more than a decade ago of murdering his girlfriend's multimillionaire husband argued Friday that he should get a new trial.

Attorney Richard Mischel told a New York appeals court that Daniel Pelosi's conviction in the bludgeoning death of Ted Ammon was tainted by prosecutorial misconduct and the release of secret grand jury material.

The sensational 2001 case attracted national headlines and prompted a made-for-television movie; after the killing, the Long Island construction worker married Ammon's wife, Generosa, and later moved into the home where Ammon was killed.

Pelosi is serving a 25-year sentence.

Mischel alleged that Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Janet Albertson prejudiced the jury by demonizing Pelosi because of a "personal animus" for him after it was revealed that Pelosi had threatened Albertson and her children. Pelosi later pleaded guilty to making the threats.

Mischel contended the prosecutor's hostility toward Pelosi influenced her questioning, and that she had "baited" Pelosi when he took the witness stand in his own defense.

"This was nothing short of a mugging, a courtroom mugging," Mischel said. Albertson did not immediately respond to a request for comment through the DA's office, but Assistant District Attorney Thomas Costello, who is handling the appeals case, said she was "well within the bounds of prosecutorial conduct."

Mischel also argued that prosecutors should not have released the testimony of two witnesses who testified before the grand jury.

Ammon, who made his fortune working on corporate takeovers in the 1980s and '90s, ran the private equity firm Chancery Lane Capital and was chairman of Jazz at Lincoln Center. He had homes in London and Manhattan, along with the Long Island mansion where he was killed.

Pelosi disregarded the advice of his attorneys to testify in his own defense, offering up what Albertson later called "disastrous testimony."

Greece, N.Y. - A homeowner in Greece is upset saying that RG&E crews wouldn't help after ice caused wires to come crashing down on his property.

"it sounded like a plane landed on my roof, it just came down. There was probably 600 pounds of ice down there and it hit the wire going across my driveway and took it down and the wire was hanging in my driveway. A live wire," said George St. George.

St. George says he called the utility company and was told a crew would come right out.

When he came home from work that night, the wire was still there, along with a note from RG&E.

St. George says that he was told he had to hire an electrician to take care of the wire.

In a statement, RG&E said "in general, we are not responsible for damages that are caused by your use of electricity on your premises."

St. George wants to be this to be a lesson to other homeowners. If a wire that is not attached to a utility pole comes down on your property, you may have to fix it yourself.
