Lazaro Aleman ECB Publishing, Inc.

One of two drivers involved in a traffic accident in the city on Saturday afternoon had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. According to the Monticello Police Department (MPD), which responded to the call, the accident occurred about 3 p.m. Saturday, April 21, in front of the Gerry Medical Clinic, at York and North Jefferson streets, and involved a 2006 Mercury and a 1997 Nissan. The MPD report identifies Willard Barnhart as the driver of the Mercury and Chandra Tucker as the driver of the Nissan. Both vehicles were towed away and Tucker was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. The MPD report does not detail what happened or if one or the other driver was at fault. Another above average hurricane season is forecast

ECB Publishing, Inc. Lazaro Aleman,

With the start of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season only a month and half away, a just-released forecast varies only slightly from last year's historically destructive season. The Colorado State University (CSU) Tropical Meteorology Project, released its April outlook, and is forecasting 14 named storms in the coming season, seven of them hurricanes and three major hurricanes. These numbers, say the experts, are slightly above the 30-year average of 12 named storms -- six of them hurricanes and two major hurricanes. A major hurricane is defined as one that is a Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which means it carries winds of 111 to 129 mph and has the potential to cause significant loss of life and property damage. According to the CSU report, the probability of major hurricanes making landfall this year are 63 percent for the entire U.S. coastline; 39 percent for the East Coast, including peninsular Florida; and 38 percent for the Gulf Coast, from the Florida panhandle westward to Brownsville, TX. The 2018 forecast, coming in the wake of last year's devastating hurricane season (which produced monster storms Harvey, Irma and Maria) can be anything but reassuring to island and coastal residents of the storm- ravaged Caribbean and Eastern Seaboard, respectively. The 2017 season, in fact, according to the CSU report, was the fifth most active since such record keeping started in 1851, rating 245 percent higher than the average season. The 2018 season, meanwhile, is predicted to be 135 percent higher than the average, according to the CSU report. Keep in mind, however, that the CSU forecast is only a projection, and an early one at that, if it is based on 30-plus years of statistical data, including sea-level the U.S. mainland. at the peak of the hurricane season, the say. The peak of pressures, sea-surface temperatures and other features of In short, states the Weather Channel, “a season can hurricane season is August through October, with similar seasons in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific deliver many storms, but have little impact; or deliver September the prime month. oceans. few storms and have one or more hitting the U.S. coast Another factor with a more direct role in the Here, however, are some things to keep in mind with major impact.” development of tropical cyclone in the Atlantic, say the relative to the CSU outlook, according to the Weather Before the 2016 and 2017 seasons -- which experts, is water temperatures, with warmer Company, whose chief journalistic mission is reporting accounted for five and seven named storms hitting the temperatures allowing hurricanes to intensify.

But homeowners can take steps to prevent prune trees on their properties. it and stop it from spreading to healthy leaves. • Use appropriate tools. When removing branches, use sharp tools to minimize damage to the bark. The ADF notes that young trees are best pruned with one- hand pruning shears with curved blades. For trees with high branches, use a pole pruner or hire a professional tree service. Novices should avoid anything too risky when pruning their trees. Leave the more difficult jobs to the professionals. • Follow the rules of pruning. When pruning trees, the ADF advises homeowners remove no more than a quarter of a tree’s crown in a single season. When pruning a main branch or trunk back to a side branch, make sure the side branch is at least one third the diameter of the main branch or trunk. • Water correctly. Like lawns and gardens, trees need water to thrive. The ADF suggests that watering each tree for 30 seconds with a steady stream of water from a garden hose equipped with a diffuser nozzle should be sufficient. Newly planted trees may need more help as they try to establish deep root systems, so consider laying mulch around newly planted trees to help the soil retain moisture. Tree maintenance should be a priority as homeowners once again start tending to their lawns and gardens. More information about caring for trees is available at arborday.org.

and that big Creed anthemic rock sound, was all I Success on the road needed,” said Diana Meltzer, who signed Creed. My Own Prison was known for the lyrics dealing : with themes of faith and spirituality. Since then, Creed's genre has been in question. “[Creed] was not a Christian Scott Phillips band,” said Phillips. “But it had those undertones.” Phillips explained that because Stapp grew up in a strict Christian household, most of his lyrics were based off of that. Creed was not a Christian band and did not label any of their songs as Christian songs, but “if [the fans] took it as a Christian song, then so be it,” said Phillips. Creed went on to release “Human Clay” in 1999, which gave Creed their first number one hit in the United States, with approximately 315,000 record sales in the first week. In 2001, after Brian Marshall (bassist for Creed) left the band, Mark Tremonti played bass in the studio and helped release Creed's third studio album, Weathered. After rising tensions, Creed disbanded in 2004, after remaining inactive for almost a year. Lead singer, Scott Stapp, released his debut solo album while Phillips, Tremonti and Marshall united with Myles Kennedy to form Alter Bridge, with whom Phillips currently plays. In August of 2004, Alter Bridge signed with Wind-Up Records and released their debut album, One Day Remains, which reached number five on the United States Billboard 200 record chart. After releasing John Willoughby Blackbird in 2007 (following a switch in record labels), Creed reunited to release ECB Publishing, Inc. their first album in nine years, Full Circle. In 2010, Creed went on a world tour in Madison-native Scott Phillips, drummer for Alter Bridge and Creed, is on the support of Full Circle with Skillet as their opening act.

really is talking about this crazy event that happened between the films, and if you stay put, you'll get to the bottom of it—but I digress. While working in their new positions, the boys get a call from their former captain, who invites them to go fishing in Canada. But they are in for a surprise. It is actually a special task force, which leads to the reinstatement of our favorite officers and puts the Vermont Highway Patrol in control policing a prospective new section of the United States. The Canadian residents don't like what's going on, and they don't like these Americans. And they definitely aren't prepared for these officers. The whole force returns here, including Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar), who struggles with a crazy addiction. Farva (Kevin Heffernan) is as obnoxious as ever. Mac (Steve Lemme) and Foster (Paul Soter) are up to their old tricks, and Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske)—ever the rookie—falls in love with a pretty Canadian Writing you a ticket — for Fun representative.

There are moments of unevenness in Super Troopers 2, and the serious parts of the film tend to fall flat, but fortunately they are few and far between.
