"We were born and raised here," Jones said before the votes. "We like the small-town feel. We deal with all of the traffic already with the growth that we've had, and we don't want 800 acres annexed." |
About 50 people crowded into the Eugene C. Smith Community Center at the start of the special meeting. |
Kauffman said he recognized people's concerns - many people spoke out against the annexations and growth at a public hearing Dec. 18 - but he believes the agreements will allow the town to control its own destiny. |
Several people walked out of the meeting after council members, who had voted for the first three annexations on the agenda, indicated they planned to support the entire slate of motions. |
"By taking control of this land, we do have control over how fast this land is developed," Councilman Mervin "Frank" Nuice said. "If it stays in the county, we have no say." |
Kauffman, who said he grew up in a small town, called it a "complete victory." |
"We wanted control, we got control," he said after the meeting. "To me, that's a complete victory for the town." |

It’s been 20 years since Rachael Leigh Cook stole our hearts as the indelible Laney Boggs in the hit teen rom-com She’s All That, and to mark the occasion, Cook sat down with ET to take a trip down memory lane. |
Starring some of the hottest stars of the '90s, from Freddie Prinze Jr. to Gabrielle Union and even Usher, She’s All That is just as memorable now as it was upon its initial release on Jan. 29, 1999. Most memorable of all? That iconic stairwell scene. |
While audiences will forever hold a special place in their hearts for that famous scene, Cook remembers it for a very different reason. |
“I remember feeling really self-conscious in the scene where I have to come down the stairs in the red dress,” the 39-year-old actress admitted to ET’s Keltie Knight. |
“There were two of that dress. We needed a stunt double dress for the scene where I had to run out and fall down in the driveway,” Cook explained. |
Cook joked that perhaps the scene became so iconic because you could feel her tension in the too-tight dress. “It’s entirely possible!” she said. |
The film was a massive hit at the box office, earning over $100 million worldwide on a production budget of just $10 million -- but that didn’t make that time in Cook’s early Hollywood career any easier. |
Next up for Cook, she stars in Valentine in the Vineyard, reprising her role of Frankie for the third time in Hallmark Channel’s In the Vineyard film franchise, premiering Feb. 2. |
Tune in to Tuesday’s ET for the full interview with Cook. |
Northam Platinum made a 0.5% offer on Monday after a meeting with the the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu said in a statement. |
The offer meant core workers in categories two to eight would get a 9.5% increase, and non-core workers, 9%. |
"This is a proposal of two years," said Mammburu. |
"The company is further proposing a once-off payment of R3 000 for all the category two to eight employees." |
Core workers in categories nine to 10 were offered 8%, and non-core workers 7.5%. |
A 7% increase was offered on the workers' living allowance. |
Mammburu said that although the union had rejected the latest offer, it had an alternative proposal. |
This would be divulged only after it was presented to the mine's management on Wednesday. |
Workers affiliated to the union went on a strike on November 3 at Zondereinde mine in Amandelbult, Limpopo, demanding a salary increase of R2 100 for core workers and R2 000 for non-core workers. |

AN OFFICIAL document from the Queensland Department of Health in 1990 has surfaced, warning that lyme disease was likely to become a problem in Australia. |
But the government maintains there is "little evidence" of lyme disease in Australia. |
In the 1990 document, Queensland Department of Health Director of Environmental and Occupational Health Dr Ron Ramm said doctors may not be recognising the disease. |
"He urges early treatment of tick bites where a rash manifests. Treatment includes intravenous penicillin and other antibiotics," the document said. |
"While to-date only four clinical cases of lyme disease have been recorded in Australia, the disease is known to spread rapidly and of 488 people sera tested for the disease in Queensland (in 1989), 40% tested positive." |
The document said lyme disease was caused by an organism, borrelia, transmitted by the common bush tick. |
Queensland Health Communicable Diseases Unit acting senior director Dr Heidi Carroll said they could not comment on Dr Ramm's statement, given the time that had passed. |
"We reiterate that the borrelia bacterium has never been isolated from a tick in Australia; however further research is ongoing research investigating this disease," she said. |
Mr Hussein said this is a blow to the north eastern region which has been facing problems in the education sector. |
They told TSC to stop wrangles with the Ministry of Education and open dialogue with stakeholders. |
The Kenya National Qualifications Authority has proposed lowering of entry grades for teacher training colleges. |
Teachers from north eastern Kenya have expressed their displeasure at the rejection by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) of the proposal to lower the entry grade to teacher training colleges, especially for marginalised counties. |
Speaking at Garissa Hotel, Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) representatives drawn from the counties of Garissa, Wajir and Mandera told TSC to stop wrangles with the Ministry of Education and open dialogue with stakeholders on numerous issues affecting them. |
Mr Ali Abdi Hussein, the assistant national treasury of the teachers’ union accuses TSC of coming up with policies he claimed have been antagonising teachers. This, he said, is done without any consultations. |
He termed as onslaught on education the recent rejection by TSC of the proposal to lower the entry grade for teacher training colleges which was also supported by Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki. |
Mr Hussein said this is a blow to the north eastern region which has been facing problems in the education sector especially due to insecurity. |
"We demand that the employer stops unnecessary wrangles with the stakeholders and take real issues through consultations. In the recent past, colleges have failed to attract trainees due to harassment and frustration by the employer," he claimed. |
"As Knut leadership from this region, we feel that the recent statement by the Teachers Service Commission is an attack on education. We want President Uhuru to intervene immediately" he added. |
The Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) has proposed lowering of entry grades for teacher training colleges. |
The authority had indicated that students seeking to study for diploma in education should have a C plain or C- in their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), exam results, down from C+. |
KNQA also proposed that those seeking to study for a certificate in education need to have a D+, down from a C plain. |
On his part Garissa County's Knut Secretary Abdirizack Hussein accused TSC of dishonesty, saying the process of lowering the grade started five months ago and the teacher's employer ought to have raised their concerns before it was gazetted. |
"This is not something the ministry just came up with suddenly. The process has been going on from one stage to another. TSC should have raised any concerns then not after some students have been admitted," he told journalists. |
The silent war is threatening the education sector with each party trying to exert its authority. |
