Friends plan fundraiser to benefit Trenton man

“We are certainly hopeful, but we don't know. Every case is different. We don't know if he could (get better) today, tomorrow or in six months.”

Friends and family of a Trenton man who was injured in a welding accident are hosting a benefit Saturday to assist with his medical and personal expenses.

Mike Toennies remains in an unconscious state.

Toennies was welding a fuel tank Dec. 8 at his place of business, B&M Portable Welding Inc. in Albers, when the tank exploded. He suffered multiple injuries, and his recovery has been slow.

Lynn Pfister, Toennies' mother-in-law, said he responds to some commands, and that the family is staying optimistic that he will regain consciousness. Read more

Pop open 2008 slowly

Champagne is typically brought out only for celebrations. With New Year's Eve just six days away, here's a tidbit of advice, via the Associated Press, on uncorking the bubbly.

'You should always open it very gently, very slow,' says Maximilian Riedel, the 11th generation descendant of the Austrian wine glass company Riedel. 'All you should hear is a little ffft. It should not be a big bang, because with a big bang comes a lot of wine that you will lose.'

Herve Rousseau, owner of New York's Flute champagne bar, said another way to enjoy champagne is use it as a topper for a traditional cocktail, like a cosmopolitan or an apple martini. You just make your drink and leave an inch at the top, then pour in the bubbles to pick it up. It works especially well with sweet cocktails, says Rousseau. Read more

Whooping cranes moved from Clinton County

“Ideally, if they are in areas that are fairly far away from people it's fine, but it was close proximity to people”

Six young whooping cranes that called Clinton County home for the past week not only have left the area, they've exited the state.

Concerns about consistent human activity in the area -- including the presence of a nearby hunt club -- prompted trackers with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the International Crane Foundation to capture the endangered birds and transport them to Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs County, Tenn.

The rare whooping cranes, featured in Thursday's News-Democrat, were roosting and foraging for food in a shallow surface mine impoundment lake south of Albers, on private property that was once a working coal mine. Read more
