45 Years in Labrador

by Rev. W. W. Perrett

of the Moravian Mission, Labrador

At this season of the year my thoughts will wander back to Labrador in spite of the many attractions of life in England. And I suppose it is not really to be wondered at, when I remember that during the past 45 years I have spent 41 winters with my Eskimo friends and only four winters in England.

Conditions are so very different in the two countries. Think of the difference in climate, think of the difference in the conditions of the two races of people. As I weigh matters up I find that in many respects I prefer life in isolated Labrador.
Of course Labrador has disadvantages, but really they are only small. To my mind they're greatly outweighed by the advantages of living among a most friendly, hospitable people and of trying to bring a little joy and pleasure into their lives by ministering to both their bodily and spiritual wants.
I remember my last Christmas in England eight years ago. It was rather a dull time, that is, when I compare it with the very enjoyable Christmases I have spent in Labrador. Here in England the festive season is short; it comes and goes and is soon forgotten. On our Mission Stations in North Labrador preparations for Christmas begin early, for there are many presents to be sorted out and tied up ready for young and old, presents that have come from overseas.
Such presents, and indeed all the necessary supplies for the Mission and for the Eskimos, are brought out by steamer from England or Newfoundland during the short summer when the sea is free of ice. For over 150 years the Mission was regularly supplied by our own missionary ships, which usually bore the name "Harmony". Owing to change of conditions in Labrador, this service has been discontinued, and we are dependent on the smaller mail steamer which runs from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Labrador about every three weeks during the summer, and on the Hudson's Bay Company's ship which makes two voyages every summer. In Northern Labrador the winter ice breaks up about the end of June or beginning of July, but the Arctic drift ice is apt to block the coast till towards the middle of August. This of course makes navigation both dangerous and difficult. By the middle of October winter has already set in again, and no captain likes to be sailing his vessel in Labrador waters after October.

By the end of October many of the Eskimo families have left their homes at the Mission stations and gone into the bays or to some of the outer islands to their winter residences. These residences are generally small wood or turf huts, built for convenience but not for comfort. Such families are away for their autumn hunts; some hunting seals, others trapping foxes, minks, otters or other fur-bearing animals. In these huts they live for two or three months, just one or two families together, miles away from their nearest neighbors, trying to gather their harvest from sea or land. Isolation means nothing to them, in fact they prefer it, for they endeavour to avoid encroaching on each other's hunting grounds.
As Christmas draws near children and parents alike begin to get anxious. Will the sea freeze over and the ice be strong enough to get back to the Mission station for Christmas? It would be such a disappointment if they could not be there for the much-looked-forward-to festive season.
The time draws nearer still, the nights get colder, a very thin crust of ice forms on the sea, though that will probably be broken up during the day by the heavy wind. But a last daylight reveals a wide expanse of smooth ice among the islands. Winter has come to stay.
Before the ice is really safe the men are out on it, feeling their way, so to speak, with their ice chisels, looking for holes of water where seals have gathered and come to the surface for breath. Sometimes hundreds of seals are caught in the ice in this way and the hunters then make good catches. The ice meanwhile is hourly getting thicker, and hope is rising in the hearts of the children that there will be a road for them to travel over.
You see we have no land roads in Labrador. While travelling we avoid the land as much as possible and travel over the sea ice. Land travel is usually slow work owing to the deep snow among the trees and bushes, which prevent it from being drifted hard by the wind. Finally word is passed round that the ice is fairly safe; fairly safe, that is, for an Eskimo to travel over.
So now dogs are harnessed, bedding is rolled up in a bundle and put on the sledge, a few necessary pots and pans and perhaps the carcase of a seal are lashed on, the christmas tree must by no means be forgotten, and the family starts for the Mission Station.
But it is a slow, cold, more or less dangerous journey. The ice is still very thin in places and the sledge may break through. The salt has already worked to the surface of the ice and makes hauling very heavy for the dogs. The temperature is low and the wind very keen, and special attention has to be paid to the nose and cheeks to prevent Jack Frost from getting a bite.
But the family is not alarmed or discouraged by such small matters. They are heading for the Mission station, a day's journey or perhaps a two days' journey away, for the warm and brightly lighted church where a couple of Christmas trees will be decorated with candles, and for the company of fellow-countrymen, relations and friends.
And what a welcome the travelers receive on their arrival! The sledge has already been sighted from a distance and the young folk run out to greet the travelers. Mother and children are hurried in to a neighbor's house to have a good meal of either cooked or frozen seal meat and blubber, with maybe cranberries, mixed with cod liver oil as dessert.
Willing helpers lend a hand to unharness the dogs and unleash the load and carry it into the house, and soon the experiences of the past month or two are being related. Brother Tom has caught a few foxes, and among them he has a beautiful silver fox skin, so he will be able to buy sufficient flour and tobacco for the winter. Uncle Sam has netted a fair number of seals and will not only have meat and blubber enough for himself and his team of dogs but will be able to help others. Cousin Mark has had no sucess; there was a good sign of foxes and minks in his trapping path, but he couldn't seem to catch them. A wolverine too cute to get caught kept robbing his traps and putting them out of order, and altogether his efforts to earn a few dollars have not been successful. Yes, there is cheering news and there is saddening news, but who would let these things disturb them at such a time?
But it is Christmas Eve and at half past four the church bell rings; and who ever would think of staying away from that service? It is the service of the year. Old and young are well washed and brushed, yes, a thorough spring clean of home and person has taken place. All are out to enjoy to the full one of the happiest services I have ever attended. Christmas hymns are sung, the story of Christ's birth is read, the choir renders an anthem, prayer is offered, and we feel that, like shepherds of Bethlehem, we hear "the heavenly host praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men".
As we sing another hymn the vestry door opens and the native helpers march in with trays of lighted candles, each candle stuck in an apple or an orange or maybe in a humble turnip from the Mission garden. Every child, down to the baby in arms, receives a candle, and the bigger ones stand and sing in their native tongue the praises of the Light of the world, the Christ child.
I doubt whether there is a more hearty, a more cheerful and cheering service held anywhere than the Christmas Eve service in Northern Labrador. One feels that the hearts of the Eskimos are in their worship and that they realise they too have a share in Him who was "born ... a Saviour, Christ the Lord". Before leaving the church the congregation, all standing, and led by the organ and string band, sing : "Silent night, holiest night" in Eskimo, then all troop home feeling really joyful and glad of heart.
But it is still Christmas Eve and the festivities are not yet over. All - from the 80 years old grandfather down to the tiny tots - are bubbling over in expectation of a visit from their dear old friend : "Fader Karismas", as they call him. The ringing of the church bell announces the fact that the old gentleman has arrived, and it is not long before the church is full. Father Christmas has left his reindeer and sleigh behind the hills; but he has brought his well filled bags of sweets, toys  and picture books, also his two large clothes baskets full of useful articles of clothing. He reminds the Eskimos that this is a time of goodwill, and that friends across the seas have shown their goodwill by sending presents for their needy Eskimo friends in ice-bound Labrador.
I can't tell you what pleasure it has given us missionaries to conduct these services and to get the presents ready for distribution, and I can give you no idea of the happiness such welcome gifts impart to both the bodies and souls of our Eskimo brethren. God grant that our friends in Labrador may spend as joyous a Christmas this year as those we remember of years gone by.
One gets the idea that many people think a missionary in Labrador has heaps of time on his hands and that, in his isolation, he has considerable difficulty in killing time. "What do you do in the long winter evenings in Labrador?" is a question sometimes put to me, and I invariably answer: "We don't seem to get long winter evenings in Labrador. Our time is so fully occupied with work of one kind or another that we never notice the long winter evenings, and I have never suffered from overwork in killing time. Often we wish there were a few more hours in the day so that we could accomplish more of the duties we should like to perform."
But then the question comes: "Well, what is your time so fully occupied with?" That is a difficult question to answer, but when you remember that a missionary has to be a veritable Jack-of-all trades in a country where tradesmen are non-existent, you will understand that it is not difficult to find a job if one wants a job. With no doctor within 300 miles the missionary has to attend to the medical wants of his congregation, and he is a fortunate man if he has had even a short course of medical and surgical training before taking up his work as a missionary.
Like the rest of us the Eskimos are subject to all sorts of small ailments, to say nothing of more severe complaints. As regards accidents there are two principal sources; these are the rifle and the Eskimo dog. In a country where the natives get their living by hunting, gunshot wounds are not infrequent. The Eskimo dog again has the reputation of being more or less fond of human flesh, and I have had many cases of both kinds to deal with.
I recall the case of an Eskimo being accidentally shot through the calf of the leg. The bone was so badly splintered that we amateurs decided amputation was necessary. But who should amputate? An Eskimo eventually declared himself willing to undertake the operation provided the missionary administered the anaesthetic. So the limb was removed with the aid of a butcher's knife and a carpenter's saw, the wound being sewn up tightly to stop the bleeding. In a short time the wound healed and though the stump needed a little more attention when a doctor came along, the Eskimo stumped round for years on a home made wooded leg. Truly God helps them who help themselves.
I have had to treat several cases of children being badly bitten by dogs and have counted from 60 to 100 wounds scattered all over a child's body. These were not the bites of a single dog, for a single Eskimo dog is a coward and rarely attacks anyone, but if a child falls the whole team pounces on him, and that is when the damage is done. Fortunately such wounds seldom become septic, even though Eskimo bodies are not always clean. The pure air of Labrador is conducive to quick healing and septicaemia is not often troublesome. I have gone through epidemics of imported influenza, measles, and smallpox, and these usually play havoc with the natives. A primitive folk like the Eskimos has little power to fight the white man's diseases, and on such occasions funerals are apt to be frequent. But amateur doctoring is by no means the only work the missionary has to turn his hand to. As there are no tradesmen in Labrador he must be ready to turn his hand to anything, from building a house or church to knitting his own stockings, and happy is the man who is able and willing to tackle any of these jobs. It is in his own interest to know how to do anything, and if he is at all adaptive, he soon learns to use tools he never handled before.
Labrador is no country for a weakling or for one who wants an easy, smooth path through life. Winter travel by what has been called "an 8 or 10 dog power huskymotor" is strenuous work and demands endurance. A man must be able to rough it. The thermometer may register 25 or 30 degrees below Zero, the snow may be soft and deep, and progress slow. I have heard stories of quick runs being made, but it has never been my good fortune to make them. After a long experience and after having traveled many thousands of miles by dog team, I claim five miles an hour to be quick and easy traveling. I have had heart-breaking work to accomplish one mile in two hours. Pastoral visitation over a large area under such circumstances, with houses 10 or 15 miles apart, is no child's play. I have been overtaken by a blinding snowstorm and had to spend a cold night under a tree, a gale of wind blowing and the thermometer somewhere round 30 below Zero. I shall not easily forget that night for it was one of the coldest nights I have ever spent.
On another occasion my driver and I got astray during a storm and were more or less lost for 48 hours. We spent two lively nights in a tent with very little to eat, wandering round during the day time to try and locate ourselves. Another night out would probably have put a full stop to our careers, for both of us were getting played out with cold and lack of sleep, and our dogs were overdone too, through not having eaten for three days. But all's well that ends well. We managed to find a settlers house where shelter, warmth, and adequate food for man and beast awaited us. It is all part of a missionary's work, and when troubles are over we get a lot of fun recalling our experiences.
God has greatly blessed the work of the Moravian Mission among the Eskimos and Settlers of Northern Labrador where we have worked continuously since 1771. The Mission has, without a doubt, been the means in God's hands of preserving the Eskimo race on that coast. May there always be men, able and willing, to minister to the needs of my friends, the Eskimos.
I should just like to mention what a boon wireless has been to us in Northern Labrador. Cut off as we are from the outside world for so many months of the year with only two or three deliveries of mail between October and July we have been most thankful for the daily News Bulletins from the B.B.C. as well as from continental and American broadcasting stations. Daventry short wave station rarely fails to reach us, and between November and February, when the sun is low in the heavens, I have picked up most of the British medium wave stations during the day. Radio has broken that feeling of isolation we formerly had, and has enabled us to realize that we are still citizens of the world even in ice-bound Labrador. How often we have smiled too at the look of astonishment on the faces of the Eskimos when they listened to Big Ben striking, over two thousand miles away. Some of them may even now be in the missionary's room listening to me. If so they will recognize my voice as I give them the Eskimo greeting: "Aksuse", which means: Be strong.

Hughes & Kettner announces GrandMeister 36 amp head

Effects, programmability and full MIDI control

With its TubeMeister 18 topping the USA amp sales charts, German-based Hughes & Kettner have a tough act to follow. Summoned to H&K's St Wendel HQ we had no idea what we'd see but it clearly wasn't going to be just another amp.

Indeed, the so-called GrandMeister 36 is no normal amplifier. It's based on the TubeMeister 36 head so the back-lit blue light facia and all of that amp's features remain. What the GrandMeister adds, however, are reverb, tap delay, flange, phase, tremolo and chorus and full programmability of the four valve channels, effects and power soak. The amp can be fully controlled by any MIDI controller or H&K's new FSM 432 MKIII floorboard with real time control via an auxiliary expression pedal and footswitch.

The GrandMeister 36 can also be controlled and programmed via an iPad–the necessary free app is already available in the App Store – which also allows you to name the patches. However, even without the MIDI controller, or iPad, the four-channel amp is perfectly useable thanks to clever Smart Rotary Controls which avoid it being overladen with onboard knobs and buttons.

H&K believe it's the first all valve analogue amp that is completely programmable; even the onboard digital effects are placed in the equivalent of a parallel FX loop to preserve the analogue signal. And, of course, if you're MIDI literate you can control all your amp/effects changes via MIDI in the studio or live (especially if you're running a click track).

The GrandMeister is available now and is priced at £1,129; the FSM 432 MKII costs an additional £169.

Car projects often begin with an idea or a dream. Oftentimes it is a vision that bounces around in our heads from day to day, but one that never quite fades away. Eventually, and hopefully, we are able to turn this vision into reality one day, though it may take some time to materialize into physical form. Monroeville, Ohio's Paul Kistler had a vision of a hot rod that was different from the rest; something that stood out in a see of more popular models. Paul's vision focused on a 1957 Ford Ranchero, and it was about to materialize into the creation you see before you.

"I always liked that 1957 Ford body style, and that was the only year with the single headlight," says Paul. "I always like the Ranchero and El Camino body styles, too, and wanted something that was different from what most people bring to shows. I didn't want another 1957 Chevy, but something that would get people to stop and admire it for its rarity." With that concept firmed up, Paul jumped on eBay to search for the perfect candidate, and he found one in Toledo, Ohio, not far from his home.

After making the purchase, Paul drove the Ranchero home, taking in all of its idiosyncrasies along the way. The car had undergone a '60s-era restomodification at some point, and it's black over red velour interior appearance told much of the story. Originally a California car, the Ranchero was in pretty decent shape from a rust standpoint. The engine bay was another matter, having been the recipient of a cobbled together 289/automatic drivetrain upgrade.

"I had every plan to have it nice, but the builder went far and beyond what I expected it to be," Paul notes.

If you ask us, the builder had no choice, really. Paul, who builds top sprint car engines for the likes of NASCAR legend Tony Stewart, already had gathered the parts for the Ranchero's engine long before he bought the car, and Bonnell's Rod Shop would be remiss in not creating a suitable vehicle to slide over the SOHC FE powerplant.

Starting with an FE kit from Dove manufacturing, Paul gathered the rest of the needed parts and built himself a 496 cubic-inch overhead cam engine. Putting it to the test on the Kistler Engines' dynamometer, Paul was rewarded with 751 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque. Not bad for a car he planned to drive to car shows, but certainly representative of his capabilities as an engine builder. Wanting a modicum of decent fuel mileage, Paul added an EFI system from Fuel Air Spark Technologies.

"I work around race cars all the time and didn't want to have to mess with a carburetor." Paul also used the company's distributor-less ignition system to help clean up the engine a bit. The ignition change required a bit of fabrication to the cam covers, including welding and tapping the covers for the coil mounts.

Bonnell's Rod Shop (Fairview, PA) was given the task of slipping the Art Morrison Enterprises chassis underneath the truckster, and whipped the body into shape as well. The staff there also fabricated the engine bay to hug the SOHC engine ever so slightly, and moved the front bumper out 2 inches to line it up with the protruding headlights. The colors on the Ranchero came from both Paul and the Bonnell's staff. Paul had seen the top color on Tony Stewart's Old-Spice-sliveried sprint car, and Bonnell's chose the darker lower color to accent the brighter top hue. For us, both colors, and the combination of the two, are simply delicious looking, and definitely class up the exterior appearance.

With the Ranchero now finished, Paul, his wife Sue and son Brian, have been able to enjoy the hot rod, and we caught up with them at the 2012 Good Guys show in Columbus, Ohio, where the Ranchero received the Hot Hauler Award! We're sure there are more awards to come for this wickedly different ride.

Oak Bluffs acts on fire chief, food truck, construction delays

Oak Bluffs acts on fire chief, food truck, construction delays

by -
Selectmen ordered work halted at 57 Circuit Avenue as of June 14. — Photo by Ralph Stewart

Oak Bluffs selectmen met Tuesday and unanimously appointed John Rose as acting fire chief. Mr. Rose will handle the fire chief’s duties in addition to his position as chief of the Emergency Medical Service.

Mr. Rose has been handling some fire department duties since Chief Peter Forend requested in April that he not be reappointed to the position.

Selectmen interviewed Mr. Rose and two other candidates with long records of service with the fire department, firefighter James Moreis Jr. and emergency management director Peter Martell.

Following a brief discussion and vote to appoint Mr. Rose, selectmen offered praise for the other candidates and called for unity in the department.

“I think everyone should realize how passionate the three candidates were,” selectman Michael Santoro said. “Every candidate came up with some solutions. Morale needs to be improved, they need to work together, bring back integrity, more training, bring the companies together instead of individualism. Even though each one of them had passion for the position, leadership is very important. We already have someone in the position, John, who is demonstrating those qualities.”

Selectman Kathy Burton said she based her decision on the person she thought was most appropriate for the job at this time.

“I wish I could appoint three acting fire chiefs,” Ms. Burton said. “I received multiple, multiple messages and phone calls saying people are going to quit if this person is appointed, people are going to quit if that person is appointed. I can’t base my decision on which people are going to quit.”

The town has hired a consultant to evaluate the fire department command structure and make other recommendations. That process could take most of this year.

“The acting chief will be in position for an indefinite period of time,” chairman Walter Vail said. “We’ll probably be with an acting fire chief for about six months.”

Construction confusion

Also Tuesday, selectmen ordered contractor C&J Hunt Construction to stop work on a renovation project at 57 Circuit Avenue by June 14. The former Oyster Bar Grill is slated to house an Edgartown National Bank branch and office space.

Selectmen said they have received numerous complaints about noise, trucks, and blocked passageways that impacted nearby businesses. Several of those business owners spoke out at Tuesday’s meeting. Among them were David and Marguerite Cook, who own The Good Ship Lollypop, a popular candy store open year-round at 61 Circuit Avenue. David Cook said on Memorial Day a contractor’s truck blocked the entrance to his store.

“I came to work, I didn’t even open up, there was no way we could open up,” Mr. Cook said. “I kept my mouth shut for five months, because I was told it would be done by Memorial Day Weekend. Now we hear it’s going to be three months longer.”

Contractor Charles Hunt assured town officials the sidewalk in front of the construction project, demolished during renovation, would be rebuilt for the holiday weekend. That was delayed, and at the meeting Mr. Hunt assured selectmen the concrete sidewalk would be finished this week.

Mr. Hunt asked the selectmen to continue construction for 2.5 weeks to finish the outer facade, then continue work inside the building through the summer. He said he anticipated about 90 days work to complete the project.

“My understanding, I’ve been in communication with the building inspector, I’ve been told for two months that as long as we’re working inside, there is no problem,” Mr. Hunt said. “I’ve made multiple requests to the building department to get a copy of the statutes involved.”

Selectmen said the board has a policy dating back to 1992 prohibiting renovation in the downtown area after June 1. They said they have enforced the policy consistently.

“This is a very dangerous precedent,” Ms. Burton said. “We can’t really stray from this policy if we don’t with everybody else.”

Food fight

In other action, selectmen took no action on a request from Oak Bluffs businessman Bill Coggins to rent space he owns at 16 Circuit Avenue to Irie Bites, a food truck, and also to a portable retail stand. Mr. Coggins purchased the lot, which sat vacant for many years, after town meeting voters declined to appropriate $220,000 for the town to acquire the land and turn it into a small park. He is co-owner of Bill & Ben’s Chocolate Emporium, which abuts the lot.

Attorney George Davis, representing Mr. Coggins, said retail food establishments are permitted under zoning laws.

“The only constraint you could have over this is the license,” Mr. Davis said. “There are no existing bylaws that would allow you to restrict this. There is no state law that would allow you to restrict this.”

Selectmen decided to seek an opinion from the town’s attorney.

Town administrator Bob Whritenour has compiled proposed rules to regulate food trucks in the town, but selectmen declined to discuss them. The proposed rules would prohibit food trucks in the downtown area, or any residential property, whether on public or private land.

Mr. Coggins accused the board of stonewalling his proposal, which he said he presented to town officials even before he completed the purchase of the lot.

“We’re just not going to rush into anything that changes the face of the town,” Mr. Vail said.

“There’s no basis for denying the basic operation,” Mr. Coggins said. “You can’t arbitrarily make up a rule. It was backdoored and stonewalled, and I consider not voting today the same thing, stonewalling.”

The board did grant permission for a business called Pick a Pearl to operate from a portable retail stand on the lot. The business offers imported oysters to customers, and opens them to find pearls of various shapes and sizes, then makes jewelry from the pearl.

The business formerly operated at the Eastern States Exposition, also known as “The Big E,” a large agricultural fair in West Springfield.

Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Chocolate Cupcakes filled with homemade caramel sauce, topped with decadent vanilla buttercream and finished with a piece of salted caramel? Yes, I went there and these Salted Caramel Cupcakes were worth every single step.

As I have stated before, I love caramel! I’ll take it in gooey liquid form over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a sticky coating on a Granny Smith apple, or a homemade square of the delicious salted variety. Heck, I’m no food snob, I’ll even partake in the caramel goodness of a Cow Tail.

Have you ever had a Cow Tail? Oh. My. Word. If not, get yourself to the corner gas station and buy yourself one immediately. Just don’t be fooled with its nasty spin-off of the Caramel Apple variety, it’s less than amazing. While you’re there, don’t be afraid to pick up a Nerds Rope, which is another personal fave!

This post is not your typical MBA post; meaning there is no recipe. This is more like a framework which will help you to build your caramel masterpiece. I’ll link you some of the components, but you add in your favorite cake and frosting recipe.

Making Salted Caramel Cupcakes

January 17th, 2011

- made one of my favorite chocolate cupcake recipes according to the recipe directions (you’ll see my fave in an upcoming fundamentals post). Use whatever recipe floats your boat. Yellow cake would be equally as amazing.

- find a basic vanilla buttercream recipe. I usually combine 3 sticks of softened unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract, 2 pounds of confectioners’ sugar and enough milk to reach the desired consistency (about 4-5 tablespoons).

- hollow out a small circle in the center of each cupcake; I use an apple corer because I am anal and obsessed with symmetry. You can also use this piping tip from Wilton which allows you to inject frosting into cupcakes.

- add in a bit of homemade caramel sauce to the hollowed center and replace the small piece of cake you removed from the center.

- top the cupcake with buttercream frosting

- finish with a square of homemade Vanilla Bean Fleur de Sel Caramel.

- homemade caramels can get a little pliable when sitting at room temperature, add these to your cupcakes right before serving.
- you can definitely cheat a little and use store bought caramel, heck you can even use high quality caramels
- I piped the frosting using the large round tip from bake it pretty. You can check out my video piping tutorial found in this post.

STEWART, Ohio — Sometimes all you need is one big inning.

The River Valley softball team scored 13 runs in the third inning of Friday night’s sectional final in Athens County, propelling the Lady Raiders to a 20-15 victory and a spot in the district tournament for the first time since 2006.

The Lady Lancers (6-11) marked a pair of runs in the opening inning to grab the lead but River Valley (8-15) answered with a pair of runs in the top of the second. Federal Hocking regained the lead with a run in the bottom of the second but a 13-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run double by Cori Williams, gave RVHS the 15-3 lead.

Five runs in each the bottom of the third and the bottom of the fourth helped FHHS cut the deficit to 16-13. River Valley scored twice in the top of the fifth and twice more in the top of the seventh to go ahead 20-13. The Lady Lancers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh but RVHS put the game away and took the 20-15 victory.

Ashley Gilmore earned the win in the circle for RVHS, striking out six, walking 11 and hitting three batters. Ashton Cale suffered the loss, while striking out four, walking five and hitting three batters.

Amanda Eddy and Cori Williams led the Lady Raiders with three hits apiece, followed by Katie Mares with two. Ashley Gilmore, Mariah Hurt, Libby Leach and Erin Morgan each had one hit in the win. Mares had a team-high three runs batted in, Williams added two, while Eddy, Gilmore, Mariah Hurt and Chelsea Copley each had one RBI.

Mares scored four runs, Eddy and Copley both crossed the plate three times, Williams, Gilmore, Leach adn Alexis Hurt all scored twice, while Mariah Hurt and Morgan each scored once. Copley had a game-best three stolen bases.

Tabler and Hickman led FHHS with three hits apiece, while Hatfield and Cale each had two hits. Wells, Cobb and Glass each had a hit in the win. Tabler scored three times, while Cale and Hatfield each had three runs batted in.

River Valley will meetup with top-seeded Wheelersburg on Tuesday at Unioto High School.

Our Goals have been expanded and updated!

In 2006, Florida's Wildlife Legacy Initiative worked with partners to identify 5 implementation Goals to guide our efforts during 2007-2009. These Goals were based on the statewide actions and the 18 priority habitats in the Florida's Strategic Vision chapter of the State Wildlife Action Plan (Action Plan, previously the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy). Since the Action Plan is a document owned by the conservation community of Florida and not just FWC, we identified Goals that are shared among FWC and our partners.

In 2009 we reviewed these Goals and discussed changes to the Goals with FWC staff and partners similar to the 2006 effort. The major change will be to add two years duration to the implementation of our original Goals, carrying them through 2011. Though we have made significant progress on these Goals, there is more work to be done. In addition, this would align with the schedule in the Action Planfor a 5-year timeframe for review of implementation efforts.

In addition to continuing our current Goals through 2011, Goal One has been updated to include two new important components: Climate Change and the Coastal Wildlife Conservation Initiative. These are both recognized as emerging issues that cover multiple habitats and require a statewide cooperative effort between FWC and partners.

Goals 2009 - 2011

  1. Florida's Wildlife Legacy Initiative Coordination and Development
    Goal - Use Florida's Wildlife Legacy Initiative framework to coordinate natural resource conservation by (1) implementing and revising the State Wildlife Action Plan, (2) developing and maintaining partnerships, (3) managing the State Wildlife Grants Program.

    Key activities include developing a proactive management system that identifies Climate Change issues important to wildlife conservation in Florida and integrate with the Coastal Wildlife Conservation Initiative (CWCI) to create an effective partnership to address wildlife conservation needs.

    Objective 1 - By the end of 2011, revise the State Wildlife Action Plan.

    Objective 2 - By July 2011, establish the CWCI standing team, composed of leadership from FWC, state agencies, partners and stakeholders. Explore the establishment of a memorandum of understanding to define the responsibilities and commitments of the participants.

    Objective 3 - By July 2011, incorporate Climate Change Work Group strategies into Florida's Wildlife Action Plan that will address the threat of climate change to fish and wildlife resources in Florida.

  2. Performance Measures
    Goal - Enhance performance measure monitoring of priority species and habitats by developing a tracking system for species and habitats identified in the Action Plan.

    Objective 1 - Use Species Ranking System to track species monitoring

    Objective 2- Build upon the habitat monitoring system by adding recommended performance measures as new data become available and by developing a web-based reporting system for each of the six priority habitats , and by 2012 use this system to demonstrate and describe changes in habitat status since the system was first implemented in 2009.

  3. Data Gaps
    Goal - Obtain information on the life history, status, trend, population dynamics, and management needs for SGCN. Explore data gaps and projects that are filling them.
    • Objective- By the end of 2011 obtain information on the life history, status, trend, population dynamics, and/or management needs of 45 SGCN with low or unknown status and declining or unknown trend.
      • Evaluate whether progress on this objective can be tracked through the decrease in action scores of SGCN within the Species Ranking System from 2009 levels.
  4. Habitat Conservation
    Goal - Facilitate habitat conservation efforts on the following high priority habitat categories to improve their health and resiliency and to achieve their long term ecological sustainability statewide:

    a. Sandhill d. Spring and Spring Run
    b. Scrub e. Coral Reef
    c. Softwater Stream f. Seagrass

  5. Cooperative Conservation Blueprint
    - Develop a GIS application that identifies the most important cooperative conservation focal areas for Florida's terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.  Merge the various existing GIS planning applications in order to generate an integrated land and water cover map for Florida.  Make it available on Arc IMS. Visit CCB page.

    Objective 1 - By the end of 2010, Develop a standalone Cooperative Conservation Blueprint consensus vision that is used to help inform future land planning decisions.

    Objective 2 - By the end of 2011, draft incentives which encourage habitat conservation to be used in conjunction with the Cooperative Conservation Blueprint.

The ultimate Goal is to conserve our native wildlife and habitats through non-regulatory, voluntary, incentive-based actions and partnerships. Partnerships built around these areas are critical because this effort is much larger than any one agency or organization can accomplish alone.

FWC Facts:
Our bass fisheries provide significant value to our state. Ensuring healthy lakes and rivers benefits many species of fish and wildlife as well as trophy fisheries.

Living, loving, laughing, and learning in the new New Orleans

Survivor Journalism

I was thinking like a surviving family member and not as a journalist.

“Newsworthy suicides”: That’s what they told us we could cover at my first newspaper job when I was 19. That meant, I learned, “the private suicide of a public figure or the public suicide of a private figure.” I worked the education beat, so I never covered any “newsworthy suicides.”
But like many budding journalists, I did a stint on the obituary desk, where I was handed these guidelines: “If the family does report suicide as the cause of death, then try to obtain more specific information (i.e., died of a drug overdose, a self-inflicted gunshot wound, asphyxiation). If the family asks that the cause of death not be included, then we will honor that request. When speaking with family, be sure to be extremely courteous, considerate and empathetic. And make sure that any decision to talk about the suicide is the family’s and that family members don’t feel forced or obligated to comment.”
I bristled at the “try to obtain more specific information” because I was thinking like a surviving family member and not as a journalist – journalists have to be curious, have to ask questions, I get that – although how you can make “be extremely courteous, considerate and empathetic” jibe with “try to obtain more specific information” is beyond me.
As the only surviving one of my father’s three children, sometimes I just don’t tell people I have any siblings, but when I decide to open up and tell people that I had two siblings, both of whom are now dead, any response beyond, “Oh, I’m so sorry” bugs the crap out of me.
But many people don’t stop there. Many people say, “How’d they die?” and when I answer that my sister died of chronic alcoholism and my brother committed suicide, there is a subset of ¬extra-nosy people who will ask the manner of suicide. I used to answer honestly because I was too naïve/polite to realize I had a choice. But after you’ve told dozens of prying assholes that your brother hanged himself, only to be told, “Oh, man, what an awful way to die. I would never kill myself that way” … well, you start to realize that you are perfectly allowed to raise an eyebrow and say, “I’d rather not talk about that” and if you do it right, you get across the message of, “How rude of you to even ask!” without having to come right out and say it.
Anyway, back then, back in the summer of 2000, I wanted nothing more than to be a journalist, and that meant writing whatever they asked me to write, and what they asked me to write, mostly, were obituaries. The first 20 obituaries I wrote were easy. I mean, not easy; death is never easy. But these were older people, sick people, people who were expected to die. And then one morning, a funeral home notice landed in my inbox for a 37-year-old man. “This is a young one,” my editor said gruffly, reading over my shoulder. “Be sure you get a cause of death. Looks like his sister is the only survivor. Call her up, ask her what happened.”
I hate calling people on the phone, even people I know. Calling a grieving stranger was definitely not in my comfort zone (this is a large part of why I ultimately went into magazine editing instead of news reporting). But this was my job, so I took a deep breath and dialed.
The woman who answered the phone was clearly in the deep, dark depths of sorrow. She was in such a haze of grief that I would be surprised if she even remembers talking to me, more than a decade later. But she did talk to me, for more than a half-hour. Her brother, she told me, her voice breaking, had killed himself after a lifetime of alcohol abuse and depression. “When he was happy, there was no one happier,” she said. “My name is Daisy, you know, and when he was happy, he used to always sing that song to me: ‘Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do” – you know the one? But when he was sad, no one could pull him out of it. I tried; I tried; God knows I tried …”
I didn’t open up to her about my brother, whose life and death sounded remarkably similar. This wasn’t about me. I just held the phone and listened and took notes whenever she said something that sounded quotable. My editor hovered nearby, occasionally tapping his watch at me.
“Good Lord,” he said when I hung up. “That took long enough. Did you get the COD?”
“Yes,” I told him. “It was a suicide. I’ll write it up in five minutes. Just give me enough time for a bathroom break, OK?”
And then I fled to the bathroom, locked myself in a stall, and cried as if my heart was breaking. I had held it together on the phone with Daisy, but now I was sobbing, disgusting gulpy sobs that I couldn’t seem to stop. It was so close to home, too close, and even though I had managed, through sheer force of stupid will, to remain professional on the phone and in the newsroom, I had spent the entire interview not just “being empathetic” but being pulled into the pain with her, pulled back into the emotions of sudden and excruciating loss.
Surviving the suicide of a loved one is a particular kind of awful. The guilt is overwhelming; so is the shame. You’re angry, but you feel guilty for feeling angry because you’re angry at a dead person whom you’re mourning. You feel strangely defensive about the loss, like you failed somehow to keep this person alive; you also feel like people who lost their loved ones to cancer or accidents – people whom they always describe as “loving life” and “full of passion” – must resent the fact that the person you’re grieving threw away a seemingly healthy life for no valid reason. There are just so many feelings.
When I was in college, I wrote this for the school paper, and it’s just as true today as it was when I wrote it:
And here's the thing: I used to wish that my brother had died heroically, dashing into a burning building to save a baby, or even just normally, of leukemia or in a car crash. But he didn't. He killed himself when I was 7, and over the years, I've come to terms with that. It's part of my story, and it's the ending he chose for his, and it doesn't make his death any less valid or my grief any less real.
When I was in seventh grade, the brother of one of my classmates committed suicide. The classmate was a boy I'd had a crush on since third grade, a boy I always got tongue-tied around. He made straight A's and brilliant observations; he played piano and starred in school musicals.
When he returned to school, our mutual friends dragged me over to his side. "You know about suicide, Eve," they said. "Talk to him."
"Hi," I said to him, in almost a whisper.
"Hi," he said back.
"They want me to talk to you," I said.
"I know," he said.
And then we stood side by side for several minutes, not talking, not looking at each other. For once, it wasn't that I was nervous or embarrassed or shy. That's just the reality of suicide. Sometimes, there's just nothing to say, nothing to make it better, and all the survivors can do is stand silent.
In retrospect, suicide seems so preventable. If only I'd had breakfast with him that morning, if only I'd held his hand for a few minutes longer, if only, if only, if only. But I was only 7, and I could barely tie my shoes.
Obviously, I’ve been thinking about all of this, remembering it, because of the recent suicide of Robin Williams. Many people have used his death as a chance to discuss mental health, addiction, substance abuse, depression – all of which are extremely important. I am lucky that I have never struggled with either addiction or depression personally, but my life has been touched by it in many ways. Some people have also warned that we need to be careful not to glamorize suicide, and I agree with that, too.
My perspective whenever there is a “newsworthy suicide,” however, is always 100 percent that of a survivor. And the thing about survivors is that we survive.
So on that afternoon back in the summer of 2000, I stopped crying, I washed my face, and I went back into the newsroom to tell Daisy’s brother’s story. I typed it up and filed it on time. I made sure I gave him dignity and humanity. I tried to get across Daisy’s love for him without making her sound like an object of pity. I did the best I could as a nervous 19-year-old who had just had a secret ugly cry in the bathroom – and I’d like to think I did even better than that.
I would also like to think that all these years later, even if she has no memory of talking to me, that she still has a copy of that newspaper obituary I wrote. And I’m glad that I was the one on the obit desk that morning to write it, both for her and for me.
The other eager young reporters at the paper had no doubt read the same handbook I had, but I think I had a unique understanding of the fact that from a certain perspective, even a “private suicide of a private figure” can seem pretty damn earth-shakingly newsworthy.
Sometimes there is nothing we can say, and all we can do is stand silent. But I am still honored, all these years later, that this one time, I got to do at least a tiny bit more.

Living, loving, laughing, and learning in the new New Orleans

Eve is further proof, if any is needed, that New Orleans girls can never escape the city. After living here since the age of 3 and graduating from Ben Franklin High School, Eve moved to Columbia, Mo., where she received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Missouri School of Journalism and became truly, unhealthily obsessed with grammar.

She had originally intended to strike out to New York City and work in the cutthroat magazine industry there, but after Katrina, Eve felt a strong pull to return home, to her roots, her family, her waterlogged and struggling city – and a much more forgiving work atmosphere that would allow her to skip a routine of everyday makeup and size 0 designer label business suits and enjoy the occasional cocktail or three with an absurdly fattening lunch. She moved back home in January 2008 and lives in Mid-City with her two daughters, Ruby and Georgia; her stepson, Elliot; and her husband, Robert Peyton.

Eve blogs about the joys and struggles of living in post-Katrina New Orleans, the unique problems and delights of raising a child in such a diverse and challenging city – including her experiences with the public education system – and her always entertaining and extremely colorful family.

Eve has won numerous writing awards, including the Pirates Alley Faulkner Society Gold Medal, the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence award for column-writing and Press Club of New Orleans awards for her Editor’s Note in New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles and for this blog, most recently winning the award for "Best Feature Affiliated Blog."

She welcomes comments, advice, empty flattery, recipes, drink invitations and – most especially – grammatical or linguistic debates.

Kirkpatrick pitches admissions tax proposal

Set Text Size SmallSet Text Size MediumSet Text Size LargeSet Text Size X-Large
Updated: 5/14/2013 6:41 pm

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Democratic Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick says the goal behind her admissions tax proposal is to make existing law fair.

The North Las Vegas Democrat presented AB498 Tuesday to a joint meeting of the Senate Revenue and Assembly Taxation committees.

Kirkpatrick took on critics who complained it would punish fans of NASCAR races and huge outdoor concerts like the Electric Daisy Carnival.

She says the bill is intended to replace the exemption-riddled live entertainment tax that generates about $135 million a year and close loopholes that have been carved out over the years.

The bill drew support from retailers and a taxpayers group but was opposed by others.

No action was taken on the bill and the chances of passage are questionable.

Postmaster issues alert for bogus emails

-A A +A

Bedford Postmaster Denise Dewitt has issued a crime alert notice.

A number of postal customers have been receiving bogus emails regarding a package allegedly sent through the postal service. When the email recipient opens the email it activates a virus in their computer.

“We would like to warn people not to open the link,” Dewitt said. “The post office does not send notices of packages, nor do we charge for holding packages.”

Sony retail store

In a bid to save funds and downsize their existing PC business (what’s left of stock in the sales channel) Sony is looking to close down two-thirds of their physical stores in the United States. The company will be shutting down twenty stores across the country and retrenching up to 1000 employees at the same time. Many of these stores were focused on Sony’s laptops, ultrabooks and tablets with a small portion of the store dedicated to Playstation and Bravia products. Sony has announced that it will work with existing retail partners in the US to sell their products and clear out remaining stocks.

This move comes at a time when Sony is experiencing some of its most difficult years financially. Despite the success of Playstation 4 and the strides that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) is making in the gaming industry, the parent company is having a hard time balancing out the books with an ailing TV business, a slow home theatre market and a struggling laptop lineup. Selling off the VAIO PC business seems to have eased some of that load, but the company needs to make the other markets more profitable, as profit margins from SCE and the mobile division aren’t enough to carry the behemoth forward in the 21st century.

“While these moves were extremely tough, they were absolutely necessary to position us in the best possible place for future growth,” said Mike Fasulo, President and COO of Sony Electronics. “I am entirely confident in our ability to turn the business around, in achieving our preferred future, and continue building on our flawless commitment to customer loyalty through the complete entertainment experience only Sony can offer.”

At least for now, Sony isn’t going anywhere. Playstation 4 is winning the console wars as far as consumer goodwill and loyalty is concerned and the company is selling out consoles faster than they can make them. With Sony building on this through greater PS Plus coverage and their streaming service, Playstation Now, the gaming division seems to be mostly okay. So long as they continue to put out some of the best titles on the console from studios like Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and Sony Santa Monica, things will be alright.

Another nano consumer product gets negative attention in Germany

The discussion about the health scare caused by the Magic-Nano sealing spray (which, as it turned out, was neither magic nor nano - see this article) has barely ebbed when questions about another nano consumer product arise. This time, it is not a health scare but rather the opposite - alleged health benefits of nanoparticles.

Towards molecular electronics

A potential solution to overcoming the fundamental scaling limits of silicon-based electronic circuitry is the use of a single molecular layer that self-organizes between two electrodes: so-called molecular electronics. Nature itself is highly efficient in using self-organized structures for electronic transport (photosynthesis in plants, nerve cells, etc.), and now similar self-organization of organic molecules is used to make electronic devices. Electric transport through single molecules has been studied extensively by both academic and industrial research groups. It has been demonstrated that the size of a diode, an element used in electronic circuitry, can be reduced reproducibly below 1.5 nm. Transport data, however, typically differ by many orders of magnitude and the fabrication hurdle is reliability and yield. Researchers in The Netherlands now have demonstrated a technology to manufacture reproducible molecular diodes with high yields (>95 %) with unprecedented lateral dimensions.

Quantum dot nanodevices with carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes are attractive materials as the building block of quantum-dot based nanodevices. In particular, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are interesting because they become metallic and semiconducting, depending on how they are rolled up from the graphene sheet, and they could be applied to various devices such as ultrasmall field-effect transistors, single-electron devices, quantum computing devices, and light-emitting devices. A research group at the Japanese Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) has made extensive experimental efforts to apply SWCNTs to single-electron devices and quantum computing devices (spin qubit) with a single quantum dot as a basic structure.

Triangular cross-sectional silica fibers: a novel growth phenomenon for amorphous materials

Researchers in Japan have synthesized novel silica fibers. Unlike any previously reported one-dimensional silica nano- and microstructures, the novel fibers display a triangular cross-section, which is not typical for amorphous materials. These prism-like silica fibers open up a new morphological type of silicon-based materials which may have highly promising potentials. They may be of significant interest for optoelectronic applications and the improvement of SnO2 chemical sensors and catalysts.

Self-assembly of nanoparticles - a step towards realizing completely self-organized devices

The fabrication of ultrafine structures beyond the limits of conventional lithography is a topic of tremendous importance and is expected to play a significant role in the realization of futuristic nanotechnology. It is also equally important to develop functional material systems of ultrafine dimensions in order to achieve this goal. An important step towards realization of nanodevices is self-organized nanopatterning of functional structures. A new technique, which might be called chemical lithography, enables the regular assembly of optically active nanoparticles on a silicon surface.

The 2007 U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative update: military still the largest investor

The just released 2007 National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) budget request is $1.28 billion, slightly less than the 2006 estimated spend of $1.30 billion. The 2007 numbers would bring the overall NNI investment since its inception in 2001 to $6.6 billion. The lion share of this amount, $2 billion or 30.3%, went to the Department of Defense (DoD). In 2006, the DoD's share even reached 33.5% of the entire NNI budget.

Single nanoribbon sensor as an in situ monitor

Nanoribbons, which are attracting much attention due to their well-defined geometry and perfect crystallinity, require complex and expensive equipment to faricate. Researchers in China have succeeded in fabricating a single nanoribbon sensor and demonstrated its use as a potential in situ monitor to track blood glucose levels, suitable for potential use by diabetics.
