The Silent Slalom Star of the Whiteshell

It’s a fantastic sight to see a slalom water skier cutting up a glassy calm lake, usually in the rising sun or the quiet of the evening, kicking up a wall of water with each turn and quickly zipping back across the wake. In the Whiteshell, this might be a less common sight in comparison to other water sports such as wakeboarding, wakesurfing, tubing etc. So it may come as a surprise to some to know that a professional water skier started her career in the Whiteshell and is now one of the top 10 female slalom skiers in the world. Experience the Whiteshell talks to Geena about starting out in the Whiteshell, travelling the world, and why she will always keep coming back to her roots.

1291423_10151713533411130_174525454_nThe name Geena Krueger is well-known in the water skiing world. She has travelled all over the world for tournaments, has several titles in the sport, is one of the top ten female slalom water skiers in the world, and is currently ranked third in Europe. It all started at her family cabin on Star Lake, in the Whiteshell Provincial Park.

Geena’s first experience skiing was at the family cottage on an island at Star Lake. She learned to ski at a very young age when her dad propped her up on his own skis.

“My very first memory I remember going on his skis and then I started going off the Star Lake beach on my own,” said Geena, who was only five years old when she got up on two skis. Then the next summer, at age six, she kicked off one ski and started slaloming around Star Lake.

In 1998, Geena’s family bought a cabin on Lake of the Woods (the Star Lake cabin belonged to Geena’s grandparents). On Lake of the Woods they were close neighbours to the people who owned Sportsman Marine & Ski in Winnipeg, who were the first to introduce the Kruegers to a slalom ski course and even gave them their slalom course because they didn’t use it anymore.  The Kruegers set up the course in a quiet bay on Lake of the Woods, close to their cabin.

Geena says she was about 12 or 13 years old when she started going through the slalom ski course, and she did her first tournament at Betula Lake in the Whiteshell.

“That was my first tournament, I was so nervous,” she said. “And then I did a Manitoba record, I didn’t even know what I was doing.”

First tournament, breaks a record….. No big deal. But it was the start of what would soon become a professional career for Geena. From there she started doing a few more tournaments and then went to Rollins College in Winterpark, Florida. That’s where Geena became really serious about skiing. Geena chose to go to Rollins College because she knew that’s where she could continue to progress her water skiing career.

“Orlando is like central-water skiing, it’s like golfing,” she said. “If you’re a pro golfer, you’re going to go to Florida, if you’re a pro water skier, you’re going to Florida. Once you’re there it has all the best coaches in the world, best lakes, and best facilities.”

“Once you get into that envirnoment where there’s people around you that are taking it seriously, you get more competitive and it pushes you. And at that point, I knew I definitely wanted to do this professionally.”

1370283_10151713533661130_1606517052_nAlong with slalom Geena also does trick and jump skiing. Slalom, which is her strength and her personal favourite, involves skiing through a course that consists of six buoys, with an entry gate and an exit gate. For slalom, the maximum speed for women is 34 miles/hr or 55 km/hr. Once you complete the course at maximum speed, you keep shortening the rope length, making it more challenging to turn sharp and cut across the wake in time to get around next buoy. Trick skiing is based off a point system that involves two 20 seconds passes to do as many tricks as you can. Jump skiing is based off the distance of the jump.
1388102_10151713533696130_196526222_nWater skiing has given Geena the opportunity to do what everyone dreams of: Travelling the world to do what you love most. In March she skied at a pro tournament in Melbourne, Australia, and at another one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June. She recently received a bronze medal and the Europe and Africa Championships in Greece, and is heading to her first Open World tournament in Chile at the end of November.

All this world travelling doesn’t stop Geena from coming back to visit and ski at the place where it all started: in the Whiteshell Provincial Park. She says she will continue to return to the Whiteshell and Lake of the Woods every summer.

“I have so many memories here,” said Geena. “I don’t think anyone understands being out at the lake until you’ve actually been here. I’ve been to so many places in the world and I always come here and it’s just so peaceful; I love it here.”

Fall Colours: Part I

Fall. It’s one of the most beautiful times of year in the Whiteshell. With warm temperatures and gorgeous changing colours, you couldn’t ask for a nicer fall than the one we’ve been having. Experience the Whiteshell is sharing the stunning fall time scenery in our Fall Colours photo series.

The Legends of the Fall

There is no fish, and no time of year…that has generated more fishing stories than fall musky fishing.  For the big fish-angler, no question, the October/November time frame is the annual crusade to catch a ‘Legend of the Fall: the elusive musky!  At Shield Outfitters, we spend most of our time guiding the Whiteshell as a rule… but there are exceptions. Since there are no muskies in the Whiteshell, one must trailer down the street to Lake of the Woods for some of the best musky fishing in the world. There, we spend a day or two every year with clients who are looking for the fishing experience of a lifetime… and we are happy to oblige.

ChunkyMuskyKyle2012crop copyMuskies require some specialized gear and knowledge, but even a beginner can make it happen with a little guidance.  Armed with an array of trolling baits, and the following game plan, we regularly put our clients on the fish they are looking for.

Fishing for one of the ‘Legends of the Fall’ can be exhilarating, but one has to be prepared to put in time paying their dues. People look at you strangely as you tell them of trolling during blowing snow, or breaking ice to launch your rig. One must experience it to capture its many rewards, and there are many. Actually landing a musky is just one of them. Those who focus just on the catching, quickly lose interest, as the long ‘flat lining’ between strikes can lead to discouragement. When the focus is on the hunt, the joy of the sport reveals itself.

IcePole copyRobert Service in his poem, Spell of the Yukon, articulated this beautifully when he wrote: “Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting so much as just finding the gold.” This is something curiously more understandable when we are very young. Musky hunting is not fishing; it is angling’s great adventure.

For those who are not big fish veterans, let me first frame the fall season for you. The shorter days and colder nights of September drop water temps, and sunlight hours wane. This triggers a seasonal reaction in the entire food chain. Ciscoes and whitefish that were in the deeper waters of the lake now begin to move shallower, coming onto contact with shoreline lips and reefs.

Summer musky hunters, casting buck tails and jerk baits at open water reefs, hope to trigger muskies that are resting in the shallow warmer water. This elevated water temperature increases their metabolism, allowing them to digest more efficiently… then it’s back down to the smorg. Now that fall is here, their deep water forage (ciscoes) move up and reefs become ambush points, not just a place to relax after a meal. Now, instead of dropping buck tails up in tight near the visible reef, bumping a deep diving bait 10 – 20 ft. down, across the tongue of a reef is the ticket.

Dave snow-trolling.

Environments like Lake of the Woods present some very visible starting points for those still looking for their first fish – islands and reefs. Islands often have shoreline lips that extend out into the deep water. These shallower lips may hold spawning ciscoes as the fall progresses. Reefs also invite roaming schools of walleye/ciscoes, so troll from island to reef, from reef to island, etc, etc, etc.  While trolling at this time of year we are sure to making contact with the bottom from time to time, as bouncing off rocks triggers strikes. And as we move along the island/reef lip, we are sure to cross the point into open water. Do NOT reel in and blast to the next spot, troll there if it is not too far. You may draw a player off the point/reef and he may need some thought time before he commits (female anglers will relate to this :))

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAMuskies will often suspend over deeper water underneath baitfish schools, so the deep water off reefs and island points cannot be ignored. Those who just concentrate on the reefs and islands alone miss out on some truly big fish water. NB: The thing that “gold plates” a reef, an island, or a stretch of open water, is the presence of baitfish, the more baitfish, the more potential. I often refer to the old National Geographic specials with the impressive herds of gazelles grazing on the African Plain. Nearby there will always be a pride of lions in the tall grass. Hmmm.

The game plan pure and simple: Go to musky waters (Eagle Lake, Lake of the Woods, Winnipeg River, to name just a few), and troll the crank bait of your choice 3-5 mph through a predetermined route of islands and reefs.  As fall progresses and water temperature drops, your trolling speed should drop with it. Be sure to note on your sonar the areas and depths you are encountering the greatest concentration of baitfish. These spots will become your “milk run” on day 2.Lee Smith muskie (2) my space copySome of our favourite trolling baits are the 10” Believer, Mirro-lure, Jumbo Rapalas, Jakes, Grannies, and even Reef Runners. We provide them all, as well as rods and reels. If you are looking to buy, then your local tackle retailer will set you up with the right reel, pole, the lures mentioned, and more (Figure 8 Baits in Kenora is a musky specialty shop and is excellent – just ask for Ryan). The important thing is to have baits that will troll at varying depths to put you in the zone. The baitfish tell you where the zone is, so pay attention. Oh yes, most important of all, buy, borrow, or make, a musky cradle. Nets are very hard on the fish (split tails), and if you hold a fish up by the gill plate, make sure it is just a quick photo then release it. Holding a fish vertical for an extended time could cause internal damage. We usually take two or three quick shots including the release. Cradling the fish in your arms is an option but leave your suede jacket at home. 🙂Tannis muskie crop copyHere are some closing thoughts for those who have caught muskies and now hunt for the fish of fishes…muskies over 52”. Consistently catching these bruisers often means a different approach. Some time ago I guided a friend to a personal best 54 incher that was featured in a local fishing mag. This fish was caught on a 10” Believer trolled along a island rock wall over 55 ft. of water. In the fall, this is a favourite haunt of big fish. They will tuck in along the wall, or suspend under schools of baitfish moving along these underwater palisades.

The more structural elements you have in association with these walls the better. This particular location is situated at a necked down area connecting two major bodies of water with an island and an open water reef close by, but it’s still not worth a look until the baitfish show up, and then…I can’t stop working a spot like this. All it takes is for one “Legend of the Fall” to show itself and you would fish a year straight without a bite to see her again. That’s fall musky fishin’, angling’s great adventure, and I love it.

History and Folklore of the Whiteshell Park South: Republished.

Everyone has a story from the lake. Whether it’s a story about your favourite weekend at the lake, the biggest fish you caught, or the day you finished building the family cabin, the stories and events that happen at the lake tend to stick with people throughout the years. Every cottager or local has a story about how or why they came to the lake. And in the Southeast Whiteshell, some of those stories date back to the 1930s or 1940s.

The republished History and Folklore of the Whiteshell Park South.

Luckily, many of those stories can be found in History and Folklore of the Whiteshell Park South, which has recently been republished. While the book was first published in 1991, author and former Whiteshell-local Olive Zimmerman has been documenting life in the Whiteshell ever since the ice froze over on West Hawk Lake in 1951. Olive then began to record ice-in and ice-off every year and began to save articles from the Whiteshell Echo, a publication that she wrote for at the time.

Olive’s husband, Adolph Zimmerman, came to the Whiteshell before World War II and throughout the years worked as a carpenter, a diamond driller at the Star Lake gold mine, and for Manitoba Conservation. Olive, who had originally hailed from Desford, MB and now lives on Vancouver Island, came to the Whiteshell in 1950.

“I had just come out of home ec. school in Brandon, broke,” said Olive. “And I decided that before I did anything else, I was going to spend a summer at a resort.”

Olive got a job as a waitress at the Trans-Canada Restaurant, which is now the West Hawk Inn Bar & Grill, and packed her bags and moved to West Hawk Lake for the summer. However, that summer turned into a permanent life for Olive for nearly 50 years. Olive and Adolph were married in 1951 and it wasn’t long after that Olive started to make notes and record things that happened in the community, even though she didn’t really know what she was going to use the material for.

Olive and Adolph Zimmerman.

“I realized that there was a lot of stuff that people didn’t have access to,” said Olive. “And I was bit-by-bit writing down these things before I ever decided that we need a book, because there’s no library in the area to save all this.”

Between 1958 and 1962, while they still owned and operated Lakeside Cabins on West Hawk Lake, Olive really began to record bits and pieces of local events that would make history. She continued to do so after they sold that business and moved to the junction of Highway 301 and the Toniata Road.

At this time Adolph had started on permanent staff with the Department of Highways while the scale was still located in the West Hawk townsite, before the Highway 1 location opened. He moved on to the new location by the Ontario border, while continuing to help cottagers with their cottage and dock repairs and working on his trap line during the winter months. Olive helped with their propane business on Highway 301. That along with raising two children, pursuing her interests in crafts, and helping in the community still did not keep Olive busy enough. She continued her hobby as the local historian.

Olive Zimmerman.

“I had started gathering stuff, but I didn’t know what I was going to do with it at the time. In the end, I was off and on (writing) for ten years. I spent a lot of time seriously thinking if I could get enough material for a book.”

Being locals, Olive and Adolph knew a lot of people in the area and Olive began to encourage others to write stories about their family cottages or homes. That’s how she got the story of an archaeology dig on Caddy Lake, or the one of the old time residents who took a cast iron stove apart to make several trips across Falcon Lake, and then reassembled it when they got to their cottage, along with many other interesting stories found in her book.

Finally after years and years of collecting information, Olive decided to publish it as a history book. History and Folklore of the Whiteshell Park South was first published in 1991, and has now been republished, thanks to Paul and Marg Duncan. The republished version includes all of the original material, and now includes an index and some added information about the recent upgrades to the school, the medical centre, and to the West Hawk Lake townsite.

“I really like what they have done to my book, and I love the cover,” said Olive.

Olive added that it is now up to the next generation to publish the next bit of history in the Whiteshell.

“Keep saving all the write ups,” said Olive. “I have a big envelope of writing. People who are interested in this should keep write ups that make history and keep writing for the next book. You couldn’t put another addition on my book. It would have to be a completely new book instead of reproducing the first one.”

“To each and every story there is some history – That’s what makes a book,” said Olive. “Thank you everyone who contributed.”

We say, “Thank YOU, Olive, for keeping this treasure trove of stories and giving it to us!”

Wildlife of the Month: Black Bears (Part I)

You don’t see them everyday, but black bears are often sighted in the Whiteshell rummaging around for berries, scaling up trees, and, on occasion, swimming over to an island. These large animals are an important part of the ecosystem in the Whiteshell or, as wildlife photographer Anne Klassen likes to refer to them as, the ‘farmers of the forest’. They also happen to be Klassen’s favourite animal to photograph. Black bears will spend most of their waking hours in search of food before their hibernation time, which is usually in mid-October. Since these animals will soon be going into hibernation for the next six months (approximately), Experience the Whiteshell is featuring black bears as the October Wildlife of the Month. Take a last glimpse at these beautiful and powerful animals in a series of photographs captured by Anne Klassen, before they hit the snooze button for the winter.

Please remember to always be bear smart in the Whiteshell: Never leave garbage around and never approach or feed the bears.

I literally see no holes or edge cases in this proposal.

Produced by Paco De Moor
Executive Producer: Almamy
Label: ModyWorks / Interscope

Paco De Moor

Hailing from a small town, this Belgian wunderkind may probably be his country best kept secret, thanks to a hook-laden debut single Morning After that is rapidly climbing up the electro/house and DJ charts internationally.

Born in the early 90’s, Paco De Moor may have been too young to attend the decade’s infamous rave parties but the glow stick-era that spawned smash hits by acts as diverse as 2 Unlimited, The Prodigy and Rozalla left its mark.

Growing up into a musical family, Mister P., as he used to call himself, started to play the keys at the age of 6, when he inherited a synthesizer from an older brother whose interest in electronic music had a tremendous impact on his development.

At only 8-year old Paco bought his first computer, with saved money, and embarked on a precocious training in music production. But it was not until he was 12 that he started to compose full-fledged songs, leading to the formation of the short-lived electro pop outfit The Afternoons.

Taking up the the art of turntablism a few years later, Paco befriended Simon De Vos after winning a DJ contest at a local youth club. They soon teamed up to form the highly sought after DJ and production duo Pickle & Banger.

Notorious for their floor filling live sets, full of pulsating grooves, deep bassy beats and wicked sounds, the duo is also known for its original take on techno, house and minimal, and a slew of remixes.

After sending out demos to various record companies, Paco’s solo career took a turn for the better when the Interscope-distributed label ModyWorks recognized his raw talent and signed him in the summer of 2009.

His first release for the label, Morning After, rode high on the electro/house and DJ charts quickly and is currently becoming quite the commodity.

The single preceded WTF Is Paco De Moor?!, his appropriately-titled debut set to be issued in the Spring of 2010.

At this rate, it is safe to say that by year’s end everybody will indeed know WTF is Paco De Moor.

There are times for intervention… now is one of those

There is evidence that Syria is preparing for a chemical attack against its own people.  This is the same kind of weapon that Saddam Hussein used on his own people in the 1990’s when President HW Bush had promised rebels if they rose up against Hussein, the US would be there to help. Hundreds of thousands were killed and the US and rest of the global community did nothing.

Certainly, nations have a right to their sovereignty — that’s why no one invaded the US when we foolishly re-elected President GW Bush despite the world’s horror that happened. However, the international community defines sovereignty in terms of the peoples’ sovereignty, placing human rights above the rights of the state/ rulers.  The world community has a responsibility to protect human rights on a mass scale. And yes, we’re hypocritical when we do (since we largely ignore the state-sponsored atrocities of Israel and China as obvious examples) and even worse when we ignore it (how about sub-Saharan Africa?). Yet, in a meaningful way, these examples are different than Syria — to prevent the use of chemical weapons is a matter of specific strategic bombing versus trying to sort out an entire system. To prevent a chemical weapons attack is not the same thing is disposing a government. Think of this as a referee function within the world community — this is mitigating an already unfair advantage as factions within Syria vie for the country’s control.

Civil wars are going to happen in unsettled places and it’s important that these be allowed because people must determine for themselves; however, there must also be limits. Weapons of mass destruction should never be used, let alone against a country’s own people because there is no way for a nation to recover from that. In the United States — nearly 150 years after the end of the civil war — there are still cultural, social, attitudinal, and political divides between the South and the rest of the country. Imagine the lasting social and political devastation that using chemical weapons would have on the fabric of a nation — especially one whose fabric has already been weakened.

Invade Syria? No. Arm rebels? Probably not. Ensure that chemical weapons are not used? Absolutely.

Fractures and Dislocations

Bone Fractures:

Bone fractures are the cases where the bone is broken into 2 or more pieces. Most common reason is physical trauma in young patients, and elder patients might also have fractures due to osteoporosis. Young patients heal faster and easier, however it can be very dangerous in elder patients. If not treated on time, an elder patient might loose his/her life due to a simple fracture.

There are two types of bone fractures:

  • Closed Fractures: Cases where broken bone stays inside the skin.
  • Compound Fractures: Cases where broken bone tears the skin and gets outside. Has infection risk.

Symptoms of Bone Fractures:

  • Pain in the traumatized area
  • Swelling
  • Bruises due to bleeding under the skin
  • Shape deformities in the area

First Aid in Bone Fractures:

  • Accessories such as rings, bracelets, watches should be removed if the fracture is in the arm since they might cause swelling
  • Sudden moves of the suspected area should be prevented. The fracture must be stabilized with the aid of an external material in the shape of a stick etc.
  • If it is a compound fracture the would should be covered with a clean material to prevent infection
  • The color and temperature of the area should be checked regularly
  • Going to hospital as soon as possible

Treatment of Bone Fractures:

After physical examination the doctor can complete the diagnosis with X Ray and/or MRI files. Treatment varies depending on the age of the patient and the location of the fracture. For an example, a fractured hip in an old patient generally requires surgical intervention instead of methods involving plaster casts. Some common treatment methods are:

  • Bandaging: In basic fractures and crack expected to heal very fast.
  • Bracing: A first aid method that stabilizes the fractured bone.
  • Plastering: Used closed fractures to stabilize the pieces and and protect the fracture from external factors. Time in plaster varies from 30 to 70 days depending on the case.
  • Surgical Intervention: Usually chosen in serious open fractures and emergencies, the surgeon repairs the bone with damaging the tissues minimally.

New Preston landmark office building revealed…

 From the BD website,  (the Architects Website)

Moxon Architects has won an RIBA competition to design a £6 million landmark office building in Preston, Lancashire.

The firm beat CJ Lim’s Studio 8 Architects, Maxwan, Piercy Conner, New York-based Stephen Yablon Architects, and Hamburg’s LH Architekten in the contest.

The winning scheme, Moxon’s biggest win to date, will be four storeys high with a two-storey atrium, and will provide around 4,000sq m of office space.

Director Ben Addy said the unnamed client did not want to release design details until it had gone through pre-planning consultation, but added: “It’s quite bold, it’s got a pronounced expression to it. It’s got unusual cladding and we’re looking to use a material that retains colour as it weathers.

The contest had 50 entrants and was judged by a panel including Urban Splash’s Nick Johnson and architect Ian Simpson.

A quick surf of Moxon Architects website revealed very little about the organisation other than a hard to view portfolio. In fact the news / press section was more than a year out of date.  Something about form and function?

Now thats got Prestonians guessing who, where, what, when ?

Mandie Stevenson with our Little Mix Competition Winners

On the 27th of July, we hosted the two lucky ladies who won our once in a lifetime fundraiser for Breast Cancer Now.

Megan Erskine (18) and Emily Davidson (18). Both winners were delighted to have been selected as the winners of our exclusive prize, as well as supporting the great cause of Breast Cancer Now.

Donations were invited through a dedicated Justgiving page giving donators the opportunity to win a VIP prize package which included tickets to see Little Mix at The Falkirk Stadium. The package also included a fabulous makeover from our very own Stacey Leigh Spalding and limousine chauffeur to the concert, courtesy of Ultimate Private Hire.

There was a buzz in the air when the girls arrived with a friend each, there were lots of giggling and anticipation for the night ahead. Stacey and the team worked their magic on the girls and made them all look stunning (I am sure you will all agree).

The concert was a roaring success with Little Mix putting on a great show, showcasing all their greatest hits as well as some new ones. We hope the girls had a fantastic night and we loved seeing them enjoying themselves. The pop superstars performed all of their biggest hits including “Touch”, “Shout Out to My Ex” and “Black Magic” as a part of their Summer Hits Tour 2018

Janice Archer from Stacey Leigh Spalding make-up said, “The girls had an amazing day from start to finish, and were delighted to look and feel glamorous for the Little Mix event. The charity was close to the winners hearts, and it was very special for everyone within SLS (Stacey Leigh Spalding) studio to be a part of the collaboration with the Falkirk Business Hub.

Breast Cancer Now Scotland is the leading breast cancer charity in Scotland. The charity is dedicated to stopping women dying from breast cancer and believes that, if we all act now by 2050, everyone who develops breast cancer will live.

To help the achieve this goal, Breast Cancer Now Scotland fund cutting-edge research into the disease in Scotland. They collaborate with the brightest researchers and leading organisations from around the world.

Mandie Stevenson’s story is also another important reason for us to support this charity.

Mandie, who is from Falkirk, was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2015 and was told she had five years to live. She finished chemotherapy two years ago and is continuing to make positive progress in her recovery.

Falkirk Business Hub believe in giving back to those in need and are always happy to welcome charities. We continue to support Breast Cancer Now Scotland. Mandie Stevenson is a true inspiration and we are proud to support such an invaluable cause.

If you remember former Steelers safety Ryan Clark has the same thing and couldn’t play in Denver after getting very sick from playing there.  It’s a situation that we can’t predict.  He says he’s playing. Not sure how much or at all.  But I would put him on the shelf if you have any other options this week.

With Brady back keep an eye on James White this week.  Things should change with the New England offense.  He’s a PPR flex. DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard will get work with Murray out in Oakland. Both should be considered flex plays.

Ridgeland families expecting FMS in ’18-19 get HVMS

Children who live in Ridgeland subdivision have always expected to go to Farragut Middle School. But once a new school opens in the summer of 2018, that will change. Those students will be part of the first class at Hardin Valley Middle School.

A preliminary zoning proposal was released by Knox County Schools a couple of weeks ago, about the same time that construction began.

Under that proposal, about 130 students will move from Farragut Middle School to the new school when it opens in summer 2018.

Weston Edmonds, principal at FMS, said student population is tied to teachers and programs.

“We’re losing kids and we never like to lose kids,” he said. “There was originally talk of FMS losing as many as 200 students.

When there’s talk of cutting a large number, you get worried about losing programs, but this proposal is a modest cut.”

According to KCS, FMS currently has 1,436 students. The enrollment projections for FMS and HVMS, once the rezoning is in effect in 2018, will be 1,300 at FMS and 850 at HVMS for 2018-19.

The zoning is spelled out on the Knox County Schools website. “Hardin Valley Middle zone would include all of the existing Hardin Valley Elementary zone and a portion of Ball Camp Elementary zone east of Pellissippi Parkway and north of Lovell Road. It also includes all of the current Farragut Middle zone north of I-40/I-75, west of Pellissippi Parkway, north of Kingston Pike and east of Lovell Road.”

Work by Denark Construction is underway on the building designed by Barber McMurry Architects. The 170,000-square-foot two-story middle school will accommodate 1,200 students. “It’s been a good process because there’s been so much dialogue,” Edmonds said. “We held a community meeting here on Nov. 28. where parents and community members could ask questions of officials from Knox County Schools. It seems like Knox County Schools has really listened to the community.”

“I think that Knox County Schools has done a remarkable job in trying to listen to what the people in the community wanted and worked very hard to be accommodating, but it’s not done yet,” said Terry Hill, Knox County Board of Education representative for District 6.

“To my knowledge, the date for the next community meeting hasn’t been scheduled yet, but I expect it to be in April. I’m excited to get the new school open and relieve crowding at Karns and Farragut. It’s just a win for everybody.”

“I’ve received no complaints from parents in [the areas being rezoned],” said Susan Horn, District 5 school board representative. “Knox County Schools attempts to align feeder patterns when possible and I’m happy to see that can be accomplished for these students and families. Of course, it’s important to note that this is a proposed plan and has not been approved yet.”

FMS, ‘Team Mikey’ turnout raises autism awareness at Breakthrough

Jenny Martinez, center, holding son, Eli, spearheaded a team honoring her older son, Mikey, far right, to participate in Breakthrough Run/Walk for Autism Saturday morning, April 27, along Parkside Drive. Other members of “Team Mikey” included, from left, Christina Kutz, Teresa Fowler, Hailey Kutz, Shannon Kupferer; Mikey’s brother, Caden Martinez; and Shelton Shelton.
Farragut Middle School principal Weston Edmonds led an 87-member team to victory Saturday, April 27, winning the largest school team award among participants in the 13th annual Breakthrough Walk/Run for Autism.

That large number was thanks in part to Jenny Martinez, who headed up a micro-team of her own in honor of her 16-year-old autistic son, Mikey, a sophomore at Farragut High School.

“We always look for ways to support and encourage acceptance and awareness for autism,” Jenny said, noting Mikey was diagnosed as a child. “One of Mikey’s brothers [Caden] is a sixth grader at Farragut Middle. When we saw that they were forming a team, we were excited to join and show our support for Mikey and others on the spectrum.”

When word got out, Jenny said many others signed up and “a dear friend of ours made shirts for our group that said ‘Team Mikey’ on the back.” Eight family members and friends were on hand for the special event, although several others who had signed up were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts — including Mikey’s dad, Michael, and older sister, Ellyx, Jenny explained.

In addition to Jenny, Caden, Michael and youngest sibling, Eli, “Team Mikey” members were Christina Kutz, Teresa Fowler, Hailey Kutz, Shannon Kupferer and Shelton Shelton.

“We still had a great showing.” Jenny said. “It was a special morning for many and I hope the love and support was felt.

“I know Mikey felt it.”

Caden ran in the race, while the others chose to walk, including Mikey, who said the “walk was nice, and it was fun to see everyone” who participated.

He said the event was important to him because he believes autism “is misunderstood, and I feel people should be more aware of it.”

Mikey said learning about autism is “very important,” and suggested reading about the topic or maybe finding others to teach on the subject as possible options.

Jenny encouraged self-education, too, along with cultivating interpersonal relationships with autistic individuals — a topic near and dear to her heart.

“You will benefit, certainly,” Jenny said. “I know anybody who gets to know Mikey does because he is such a neat and cool guy.

“He has so many friends who just adore him.”

Jenny said her family already is looking forward to participating in next year’s Breakthrough event, and getting to know more about the non-profit organization, which offers an array of services to adults with autism, according to its website.

Edmonds said FMS’s own participation in the Breakthrough Run/Walk for autism began with the school’s track coach, Chris Cavalaris, who encouraged his track students to run as a group a few years ago.

“Mr. Cavalaris asked me to run and I did, (then) we challenged staff to run the next year,” he said.

“This year, we asked our staff, parents and students to participate with the goal of winning the largest school group. It really just grew organically and it is such a good cause that it is really easy to promote and support,” Edmonds added.

“Our getting 87 people signed (up) is just a great testament to the caring nature of the FMS staff and our community of students and parents. It was just overwhelming to see the generosity.”

Documentation project of an art manifestation.

FICARRA CONTEMPORARY DIVAN, a program of art residencies and events in a small village located in front of the Aeolian archipelago and gate of the Nebrodi’s mountain natural park. Its aim to echo the best traditions of European and Western art institutions that have worked on specific areas in relation to international contexts.

I used my documentary work to question the landscape of and around Ficarra as an element of the political and cultural dimension. By processing images that can be highly evocative for a community that lives quite isolated in wintertime, given the weather conditions and the topography of the valleys of the Nebrodi chain, in Sicily.

Marking the geological forms of a region located at the meeting place of three continental plates allowed me to evoke a temporal and spatial dimension shared by both local people and artists, without interfering with the specificity of the artists’ works and realizing a communication-based project accessible to a wider audience.

Here in Ficarra, ordinary people are used to being involved with the “curiosities” of art and contemporary artists, and you often come across discussions and analysis, not at all intimidated, on the quality of the artworks and research. Similarly, it was fun to listen to people who, intrigued by the details of the images I showed them, tried to guess the location of a rock, a cliff, or even a volcanic landscape, revealing the centrality of this town inhabited by just one thousand souls in the context of a wider region.

In a nutshell, I wanted my work to question the dichotomy between the center and the periphery so important for balance, not only within the art system, but also within the political and economic worlds; I was trying to suggest the possibility that, although part of a small community, you can feel part of a larger one beyond the confines of any environmental boundaries.

Mineo (Homes for America), photo installation 2014. Inkjet prints on baryta paper mounted on plasterboard panels, variable dimensions.

One of the largest centers for asylum seekers in Europe is located in the former homes for the American soldiers stationed at Sigonella, which is itself the largest military base in the Mediterranean. The title (Homes for America) refers to the work published by Dan Graham on Arts Magazine, December 1966. Also, the documented landscape references the Townships photographed by David Goldblatt. Both references contain connotative meanings and suggestions that reflect on the meaning of citizenship in the era of globalization.

Installation view at the solo show ‘Indigenation’ at the Brodbeck Foundation, Catania 2016. 22 Inkjet prints mounted on plasterboard panels. 1 print, dimension cm.168×75; 8 prints, each×112; 1 print×112; 8 prints each×75; total size of the installation cm.250×960.

Naval Air Station Sigonella “The Hub of the Med” is a U.S. Navy installation in Sicily, Italy. It is located at some 40 km south of Mount Etna. Because of its location near the center of the Mediterranean Sea, NASSIG is the Navy’s second largest security command, second only to that located at Naval Support Activity Bahrain. In 2011, after the Navy considered ending its lease for family housing in Sicily, it had closed the Mineo housing area. Mineo housing area was leased by Pizzarotti & Co. to the Italian government as a housing center for asylum seekers, many of them refugees from the “Arab spring” revolts in Tunisia and other North African countries. It has since grown notorious in local media and among immigration advocates, who say the facility puts too many people in units, with little access to health care and little progress on their cases.

WELCOME “Benvenuti!” On behalf of the entire Housing staff, welcome to your new home! Our purpose is to provide you with adequate, safe, and secure living quarters, and to support you and your family while you reside in the Mineo Housing Complex. The Mineo Trouble Call Desk provides assistance to meet routine, urgent, and emergency breakdowns or repairs not deemed the responsibility of the resident in accordance with the lease. It is your responsibility to promptly report any maintenance issues which may cause structural damage to your unit or effect habitability […]

RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITIES Residents are required to keep the Housing staff informed of any changes in projected rotation date, home and mobile telephone numbers, or people other than immediate family living in your quarters. Preventive Maintenance Inspections (PMI) are a requirement according to the Lease and are not optional […] Be advised that you will be held financially liable for returning quarters to the original condition upon check-out […]

Guests are welcome to visit you and your family while you reside in the complex, but please ensure your guests comply with all Security regulations. You, as the sponsor, will be held accountable for the actions of your guests […] Maintain your household noise to a minimum, keep your yard and carport areas tidy and clean, and be respectful towards your neighbors […]

Housing inspectors make rounds within the complex on a daily basis. If, during these inspections, they notice that residents are not in compliance with any rules and regulations, they may issue either a “friendly reminder” or a “violation notice”.

VADEMECUM According to the Dublin Regulation (no. III 1. 604/13) you cannot decide freely in which Nation to request protection […] For the Regulation, a “citizen of a third country” is any person who is not a citizen of European Union or who is not a citizen of a State which doesn’t subscribe to the Regulation for doing an agreement with the Union […]

During the procedure to establish whether Italy is the competent country to examine the request for asylum, your status on the Italian territory is therefore that one of an asylum seeker […] The law establishes that you may seek the assistance of a lawyer. If you are unable to pay a lawyer, you may do a petition for receiving free legal assistance (sponsored by the Nation) […]

If they send you to CARA they will give you a nominal certificate (a paper where your personal data and your legal condition are reported). So, they will give you an appointment at the police office. The police will make you some photos and will take fingerprints (“foto segnalamento”). Later, they will give you an appointment to formalize your application […]

If you decide to benefit of the welcome procedures of the CARA, your stay here last the necessary time  to obtain the documents and, once you obtain your permit of stay, you must leave the Centre.

EUR_Libya, photographic series, Giclée prints on cotton paper on dibond panels, variable dimensions, 2010-12.

With his new photographic project, shown now for the very first time after two years in production, Federico Baronello analyzes the symbolic representation of power in its purest form, through architecture. The starting point for his research is the «Fascism embodied in stone» mentioned by the Italian historian Emilio Gentile: the ideology of power illustrated by the magnificent buildings of Italian rationalism spread between the two poles of new Fascist Rome, the Foro Italico and EUR.

Left: EUR-3779, installation view at the group show ‘The Materiality of a Dream’ at the Brodbeck Foundation, Catania 2013.

Already its title, EUR_Libya, points to the paradoxical sense of the work. The artist further suggests a metaphysical aspect: the architecture depicted appear as archeological monuments abandoned in the empty midday sun, reminiscent of the De Chirico’s Italian Piazza, but also of the Italian colonial landscapes in Africa.

EUR-3779, installation view.

EUR-3779, installation view.

Lost in time, a surreal landscape fixed in sunlight, monumental but empty, silent, found here in Italy, but it could be anywhere in the Mediterranean or even in Africa. Indeed, on closer observation, the architecture in the photographs of Federico Baronello is transformed through a surreal manoveur by the very transgressive nature of the artwork itself (i.e. the photo-montage).

Headquarters of the Central Bank of Libya at the “Palace of Civilization and Work” designed by Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto La Padula, Mario Romano, 1938-43.×100.

A visual strategy inherited from the Dadaist who through the process of appropriation and de-contextualization developed the neo-avantgarde criticism during the ’60s and ’70s. However for Baronello the combination and overlapping of images and places, reminiscent of the strategy of visual artists such as Hans Haacke, without any direct bearing, does not embody the same ideological criticism. Baronello’s investigations are not a work about the real, as is the case of the German-American artist, but rather it is about the freedom of imagination, the utopia of the possible, inscribed by a minimal and discreet gesture.

As if Libya, or better North Africa, according to the definition of the ancient Greeks and then the Latins, might become Rome, and Rome in turn could really become the capital of a unified Mediterranean world. By inquiring into the meaning of Fascist architecture today, the artist questions the political and symbolic role of the institutions and of the cultural landscape in its broadest sense. In these photographs the ideological result of architecture undergoes a profound transformation, as if the original imperialist ideology had passed through the anthropophagous assimilation theorized by Brazilian modernist Oswald de Andrade, as the ultimate destiny of colonialism.

An economic post-colonialism, indeed. The names and logos of national companies that have long held trade and economic relations with Gaddafi’s Libya, appear as imprints on the surface of the «Fascism embodied in stone» photographed by Federico Baronello.

NEMO_Beta, HD movie, 39′ 36”, 2009-10.

NEMO is the Italian development project of KM3NeT, an European research infrastructure aimed to build a gigantic Cherenkov telescope, basically a giant underwater antenna, to detect high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. The movie documents the experimental installation of a twelve arms tower at 3500 meters depth. Below the sea level dozens of this module will form a grid of 1 square km about 700 meters high.

Still from HD movie.

Publicity still

The KM3NeT will be the only submarine telescope to operate in the northern hemisphere and will be complementary to the American telescope installed under the ice of Antarctica. If implemented, it would become a centre of world-class research in the field of basic research as well as the largest station for monitoring the marine environment. The depths chosen by the Italian project for this telescope installation are part of a large area of the Ionian Sea located approximately 80 km from Portopalo, very close to the area where occurred the 1996 Christmas Eve wreck (see Portopalo).

NEMO_Beta is also the continuation of BdA, the exhibition contents made for the  Science Museum of Catania whose purpose was to illustrate the recent history of development in Sicily.

Portopalo, photographic installation, Durst Lambda prints on paper, variable dimensions, 2009.

Although it may seem paradoxical, “landscape” is a fundamental and recurrent theme of Modernism. So is it for those contemporary artists who through modernist models and structures once again put our way of seeing the landscape on the line. This practice clearly does not stop at the optical effect alone (or the “small pleasures”) but acts as a genuine investigative process. In this active exercise, the research (of documents and practices) overlaps with the taking apart and recomposition of the geographic and social space.

Jean François Lyotard discerned how in the dominant capitalist society, signs are immediately and totally transformed (and neutralized) in information. Breaking the traditional alliance or uniformity of purpose that bound art to Capital, some artists have taken the trouble to dismantle the information and restore the value and fullness of the signs.

For some years now, Federico Baronello’s work has efficaciously pursued this line. The works presented at the gianluca collica gallery of Catania show us a landscape; a very precise landscape, that of Portopalo and the southwestern Ionian Sea. In this landscape (presented through photographic prints and full-HD video) the information is profuse and different: the realization and the installation of sculpture groups along the Portopalo promenade, by the local parish priest Don Palacino, in memory of the 283 migrants drowned off Capo Passero in 1996 (with a religious-pop aesthetic, with obvious though surely unconscious references to Picasso as well as Ed and Nancy Kienholz); the probable installation again in the same waters off Portopalo, by the Institute of Nuclear physics, of an immensely powerful underwater telescope, a kind of antenna devised to reveal astrophysical neutrinos of the highest energy; the remains and markings of Islamic culture “etched” onto the seized fishing boats in the port of Portopalo.

In Baronello’s works, all these pieces of information reacquire the meanings of a story but above all are presented as signs of modernity: useful signs enabling us to understand also what we see.

BdA, photographic series, Durst Lambda prints on metal paper on Dibond panels with aluminium frames and museum glass, each dimension cm. 115×76,5, 2008.

Building a Science Museum in a disused sulphur refinery in the old industrial area of Catania may be an opportunity for a journey into the modern history of eastern Sicily. Indeed, the sulphur mines exploitation, which started in the early nineteenth century, immediately linked Sicily to the industrialization process that was spreading from England in Europe and America.

Installation view from the exhibition DA QUI # 01.09, gianluca collica gallery, Catania 2009.

BdA (Barre d’Argento – Silver Bars) is an acronym chosen to indicate two different works, which were intended to complete the exhibition contents of the  Science Museum of Catania, and which purpose was to illustrate the recent history of the development in Sicily. The title was inspired by a work of the American artist Lawrence Weiner, which was realized in Catania at the gianluca collica gallery, the statement Silver Bars Bathed in Brimstone.

The documentary movie Silver Bars (in Brimstone) and the photographic installation BdA7793… are far-reaching journeys telling a story that goes from the sulphur years to those of oil and developers, up until the technological district and the numerous scientific research programmes that have developed around the Department of Physics of Catania. A journey from the bowels of the world to the top of volcano. It’s a laborious ascension to the vastness of the sea and the sky, from Inferno to Paradise. Furthermore, the two BdA works both represent an attempt to reconcile the experimental fury of the art in 1900 with a – often unevenly – communicator function of the work of art.

The narration of Silver Bars (in Brimstone) links the protagonists’ testimonies (from miners, owners of the deposits, scientists) and the historians’ interviews, with extracts of Sicilian literature (Luigi Pirandello, Giovanni Verga, Enzo Di Bernardo, Melissa Panarello). Locations views from the Floristella mine to the Priolo petrochemical centre, from the commercial centre (designed by the Italian archistar Massimiliano Fucksas) to the nuclear accelerator at the university campus, alternate with film excerpts of Italian documentary masterpieces such as Surfarara by Vittorio De Seta, Col cuore fermo Sicilia by Gianfranco Mingozzi, Gela antica e nuova by Giuseppe Ferrara, or with archival footage of scientific experiments.

Eight (plus two) panels make the photographic installation; each one is the combination of two photographs. This combination of two creates a reciprocal relationship. On one hand, we have a dialectic regarding the subject contents of the photos. On the other, there are two portions of space that confront each other for the purely formal aspect of the composition. In each panel each photo, or portion of space, communicates with the other but also with those making the remaining seven panels. Each area represents also a place or a matter: cave, sea, sky or earth, air, water, fire, or sea, mountain/volcano, sun.

Landscape, thus, works as a narrative of a (hi)story. The structure of the photo installation, then, aims to replace specific formal, thus ideological, references of modernism.

Proposal for a Trans Hack Feminist Manifesto!

Proposal for a TransHackFeminist Manifesto!

The TransH@ckFeminist (THF!) convergence, organised in collaboration with Calafou/etc (eclectic tech carnival), will be held in Calafou (Spain) from From August 4-11. THF! is a gathering of intersectional feminists, queer and trans people of all genders interested in better understanding, using and ultimately developing free and liberating technologies for social dissent, as an alternative to the corporatisation of technologies and the digital world. As part of the THF!, we will organise a session on writing a TransHackFeminist Manifesto.

Manifestos are a signal of their time, place, space and affect they create (Colman 2010). It is a form of narrative that can be produced by and for a broad spectrum of people in attempt to converge and inspire action. The Communist Manifesto written by Marx and Hengels in 1848 inspired activists, researchers and citizens alike for centuries and decades to come! Adbuster’s* call for 20,000 people to “flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and Occupy Wall Street for a few months” (Adbusters, 2011) closely ressembles the form of a Manifesto.

In the technological world particularly, Manifestos have been written by feminists and hackers. Donna Haraway ‘A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century‘ is such a well-known example. Cyberfeminists inspired by Haraway took up the manifesto format to come up with the Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century (1991). More recently engineers who crafted the Critical Engineering Manifesto a manifesto presented at 30C3 (the 30th edition of the Computer Chaos Congress) to reimagine engineering.

What is proposed in this workshop is to draft a TransHackFeminist Manifesto!. We will collectively think about the content of our TransHackFeminist manifesto. What does it mean to be or act in a TransHackFeminist way? What are the principles that support TransHackFeminism? What do we understand when we use the words Trans, Hack and Feminism together? Trans as a noun: being a transgendered person, being in a trans, Trans as a verb meaning interrogating, crossing, fusing. Hack, hacker or hacking can be imagined as limiting and/or controversial depending on the cultural forces at play. The verb to Hack is about curiosity, it’s about re-purposing gender, technology, life. And where does feminism fits into this constellation. The TransHackFeminist manifesto will try to shed light on the relationship between feminism, trans and hack.

The goal of the workshop is to come up with a manifesto that embodies TransHackFeminism to inspire and ignite more gathering like the THF! and to position oneself on the spectrum.

The workshop will be held 1 hour per day from August 4 until August 10th.

*It’s important to realise that Adbuster’s call was reinforcing a momentum for occupying spaces that was already happening in Tunisia, Egypt, Spain, Greece, the USA, among others.

“We may be born with an urge to help”

Nicholas Wade in the NY Times looks at some of the recent research in the possibility that altruism is innate.  There is a definite consensus building that this is so.  There are some problems with some of the research – I heard from one primate researcher than another is idealizing his chimps – but hey!  I think back to the days of listening to decision theorists explain why this can’t be so.

Poor economists, though.  Not only are we irremediably irrational, but we might also be willing to spend energy and  other resources without expecting a return.

On the other hand, one might worry about how science reaches a consensus, given the lastest stir about climatologists located at the University of East Anglia.  Since ‘normal science’ has always been rough on dissenters and their supposed anomalies, it isn’t clear how unusually unscientific the climatologists have been, but it is very unfortunate that they chose to describe themselves as bad boy conspirators.

Rush Limbaugh is maintaining that all science is now discredited by this episode, which is an example of why for now he is worse that Sarah  Palin, imho.

More evidence of failings

We’re all familiar with the facts about the inadequacies of police response in many cases of reported rape. Today’s news brings another report of such inadequacy: a woman in Cambridgeshire’s report was forgotten in a pile of papers on a desk. No crime was recorded, no investigator was sent to speak to her. By the time anyone bothered what may have been crucial CCTV evidence was destroyed. It seems her mental health problems compounded police complacency:

campaigners said research suggested a higher proportion of rapes reported by victims with mental illness ended up being “no-crimed”. “This case reflects a concerning attitude among police to rape itself and to women with mental health problems,” said Ceri Goddard, Fawcett Society chief executive.

Interestingly, the woman was able to make a claim against the police that their failure to record the crime was a breach of her human rights (although this resulted in an out of court settlement).
