Good morning YouTube mind-lovers. I'm on Julie here. We're out driving up a road up a canyon adjacent to a wash. Beautiful day here. It's 65 degrees nine o'clock in the morning. Well it's spring here in the desert and a lot of the wildflowers are coming out. There have been a lot of Indian paintbrush and several other kinds that we've seen in the last few days. There's a different purple flower. It's so pretty. We're still heading up the wash. It's an easy hike so far. Well here are some of the Indian paintbrush flowers I was mentioning earlier. Wow, beautiful huh? I don't know what the technical name for them is but that's what they're commonly referred to. Pretty whole bunch of them on this hillside. They're all along here. They're pretty happy right there. Oh, I see a waste truck pile up there. We're just about there. It looks like a fuel tank here by Julie. Ribbeted. So the mine's just up ahead of us here. There's a cabin here also and we're at the end of the waste pile and it probably a lot of it is washed away also the way it looks. And then there's a shaft on the left over here.  As you can see the cliffy nature of it right here. Okay we're here at the building. At least have a window in it. That's plastic. Not much inside there I'm here. There's a door. Well apparently the snakes are coming out Julie. It's been pretty cool at night and we're actually kind of high up. So there's a shelf. Bed spring of course. This looks like it was a folding shelf. There's another cabin over here. I think that was more of an equipment cabinet. It's been a couple years since we've been here I think. So here are the shelves in here. There's some more shelves over here. Any shiny light over here? Sand sample bags. Huh. Nothing on the shelf. Some people have signed into this thing over here. Here's some more shelves. Oh look at that. Look at how long it is. I know you think is that a homemade handle? It's got to be huh? Oh yeah. Wow. That is so weird. Some of you sat in a wrap that thing with wire. A big hand. That's probably eating a few beans. That's pretty cool. There's a beer can. Opened with the church key. Okay let's go and look at the other building here. This might be more of an equipment building. Well I noticed this barrel over here appears to have been turned into a skip bucket or a shaft bucket. Oh yeah. It's got a few bottles in there. So it's got some heavy-duty welded eyes on here and a cable and the pins for catching it to dump it. So that's kind of neat. And another heavy-duty barrel here. I'm gonna tip this back over so it doesn't fill up water. That's a that's a wood burner it looks like. Look at the riveted barrel there. Wow is that cool? Wow. That is a heavy barrel. I love that riveting in there. This is looking down the waste pile. Like I said a lot of it's washed away. Let's look in this building. Hello. Is an animal scratching to get out of here? Just wind. Something scratching on a roofing. It's just wind. That one's kicking around a little. So there's a bed it looks like. This has got a little more modern roofing on it too. Looks like aluminum. This is an interesting old box it had the cutouts for the finger holds. And here's some water pipe parts. A union and some more unions. This is all this is. It looks like it might have been something mounted there. Oh maybe like a compressor or a generator or a water pump because here's a water pipe coming here. Probably had a big pump there. Alright let's go look at the mine and get this explore underway. Yeah we saw one of us somewhere else way down the wash. This is a good leg for a bed. Let's go into mine. See what we have here. Oh this must have been an explosives bunker. Yeah I'm thinking so. Let's see what we have here. There's another big riveted barrel. Boy that's a heavy duty one. Yeah they make these big ribs like this so you can roll it easier and so you can turn it easy rolling it on the ground. Or maybe fuel I don't know. It's cool in here. Oh look at the natural timber timbering up here. Unmilled. Oh there's a little chute coming down from up top there. Made out of query gauge steel. Stuff going on already here. Something fell down didn't it. All this fell down. A little pocket to the right that they've taken. Oh it's cold in here. I never know what you're gonna get in mine. Yeah look at the natural timbers. Looks like we have a shaft here. Here's a hoistroom. It's been burned. Is that supposed to be Marilyn Monroe? The guys are pretty good with their carbines don't they? Their lamps. Let's see if I can get in here. So this would have been a hoistroom. It has been burned obviously. Who knows if it was intentional or you know this is where the fires would start with all the fuel and if it was electric and who knows what all you have in here. So here's their workshop table. This looks like they're mixing some kind of mortar. Here's a box buck Hect. Here's an old wire brush. Well used. Here's the cardin off of a... this is a couple of spools of fuse or something. There's a pipe. Oh look at this thing. A little teeny pick that's been handmade. Huh. Some nipples. Glove. Some other stuff. This is pretty cool though. I like that thing. I wonder what they would have used the pick for. It's got one sharpen. This end looks like it's broken. All right let's get out of here and either go look at the mine or go down the shaft one or the other. We haven't even looked down the shaft yet. It looks like a cable could have run up through here or something. I can see the notch and the main beam there. So here's this woman made out of carbide soot and then what's interesting is look at all this this natural lagging and it goes way up and this timber right here has got to be at least 12 by 12 maybe more. There's my foot. Yeah it's 12 by 14. Look at the size of that thing and then the the natural split lagging. The lagging is split boards and look at the look at the natural one up there and it's been flattened on one side but it's a natural piece of wood. Really unbelievable and another huge timber on this one another 12 by 14. Just unbelievable and this natural lagging here too. Yeah actually I can see daylight through there. Okay though let's look behind me on the shaft here for a second and then decide what to do. Okay I don't see much that way. Oh that's a nice little shaft. It's got a nice slope to it not too steep. A little short but I think we can do it. Look at how the cable is cut through the rock right here. She needed a roller there. So the main pulley or the sheave wheel would have been right up here between these two and then it looks like there were some anchors into the rock right there maybe for other cable guides or something who knows. And here's more of this natural timber. It's absolutely amazing. Alright let's take a walk down the drifter Julie. Here's a chute a little more modern. Yeah the fire went up that way. I see the painters have been in here. It looks like it goes away over here. There's a little backfill and some gobbler. Stope up this way more natural timbers. This was a silver mine. Or is a silver mine? Doesn't appear to be active at this point. This is where that one that's blocked off went probably. Yeah this went back to the... yeah this goes back. We just saw the entrance to this a little while ago. Okay we're back to the main drift. We started in. I feel air in here moving through. Something came down here. More burn stuff. But that's a cool old stall there. I know is it? Yeah. Yeah. The ladder going up. I don't see any shoots coming down so I don't know what they're doing up there unless it was an emergency escape or something. Moving on. A lot of mines have alternative entrances and exits for emergencies if there were to be a fire like there has been in here. That's a heavy rope isn't it? Where's it going? There's some very low stoves down there. You'd have to call on your belly to get there. Yeah this rope is pretty neat. The big hemp rope. But where's it going? Oh boy there's a ladder for you. Kind of a wild mine in it. So this rope is going down another shaft looks like. There's a ladder or something. Oh there's air coming out of there. Wow. Ladders or rungs are missing. Yeah because people throw stuff down there. They want to hear it crash down the ladders and then the ladders are unusable. Otherwise it'd be perfect. Well maybe this will come into the other the other shaft that has good ladders. This is a pretty big stoked room straight up about 20 feet. There's a little pocket on the right here. Nice gobbling and it's back filled. Here's to be. Pretty big mine in it.  This track might be a little greasy. So yeah it went the hard way. Yeah he just noticed there's a ladder right there. Yeah the ladder's over there. That's okay. All right down we go. No uncle head for a while. This ladder's pretty good. Okay. There's the pole for the bell. Oh neat. Yep I'll catch up with you now. Well I'm part way down this shaft. This is looking down. I think Julie's just starting to make her way down here. That's looking back up. Look at all the cool natural timbers. That is so neat. Here she comes.  Okay here comes Julie. This was a silver one but it looks like it's got some copper minerals in it and a big chunk of that's come down right there. It looks like a level here. There's a shoot a tin chute.  There's some track stored in there and the tracks go around the corner a little bit. There's an RPM special motor oil and some kind of a bottle. Blue stuff on the side of that timber is interesting. So the tracks are taking a bit of a ride. All kinds of extra track laying here. Sulfury. Well look at it. Yeah There's a sulfur smell source. I think there are five levels to this mine. We haven't been down here before. We've been in the upper part a little bit. It's blocked off but not very securely looking. Interesting back up in here and I don't know how it changes into. Is that all calcite stuff? It looks like it isn't. Yeah that's a pretty big level. A lot of sulfur. At least it smells like sulfur. What do you see up there? She said it looks like it ends. There you go. One level done. Okay I've come down a little further from that first level. There's a needle roller right here. It's wood with metal bands around the ends of it. Then over here there's a really cool wall made out of natural lagging small tree branches for lagging small trees. And then below me oh wow I didn't see that. Wow they're right. And then below me looks like a level. And then it goes into a hole and keeps going down further it looks like. But let's get down to this level and check that one out. There's some bell wire. A half pound of number 18 looks like. Some metal level here. Looks like it goes that way at least a little ways. It also goes down steeply. I see a carbide can down there. I'm not sure if the ladders are actually continuing or not but we'll find out. Julie's on her way down. She's up here. The ladders are kind of haphazardly spaced. They're wrong as I should say. I'm gonna take my light out of her eyes because it makes it hard for her to see. So there's a drip coffee shilling. Two pounds. A jar. You don't see too many coffee jars do you? With the cap. Yeah. That's kind of neat. It is. And then an RPM oil. What's the water oil? Water oil. Yeah you see those once in a while. Here's one that you don't see very often. These five gallon cans of oil are always, the labels are always gone. And this is a pearl, pearl oil. Oh this is kerosene for oil heaters I think it says. Yeah so that calorie amount that's baking powder. Double acting baking powder. Yeah I wonder why they would have that down there. There's a bunch of dynamite box parts here. Hercules. I'll just take a quick look over here. This goes somewhere you want to go this way since we're here. It's kind of rugged. There's some graffiti on the wall. Gold that way. I think they're kidding because it says BS. It says 150 foot something there. A big mine in there. There's a carbide can. Pardon me. Nothing? No. No date. Newspaper but no date. Well this must be a parallel drift to the one that came right left off the ladders there. Maybe it hooks up to here. Can you go left? Yeah. Yeah I'll bet this is, oh you gotta go look in the can. That's gonna loop back to where the ladder is. Here's some more newspaper though. All right well here's an American weekly paper. Does it say where it's out of? Where's San Francisco? No I don't know. There's several, several cities. No date though. Nope. All right let's move on. I believe this is gonna just loop back to the shack. It's a loop drift. Cool. I like this. Some natural timber sets. Yeah very, I love these old timbers. It's already been a success. Not too much trash in this one. Some mines. Everybody brings a water bottle or a can of pop or whatever and they leave a can or a bottle. It could be a mess after a while. Here we've got a little timber failure. Here's a tin box it looks like. The way they roll the edges so you can carry it. There's mud. We should be just about back to the shaft if my theory is correct. This head strap rail in here. Are we at the shaft yet? No. Oh maybe my theory is not correct. What have we here? An old broom. Here's to be a little less stable over here than other parts of the mine. Oh here's some, here's some goopy miners graffiti. Yeah see we were just on the other side of that when we looped around. Hard, rock, soft, something. Oh that's a, it's an animal, isn't it? Yeah I couldn't see it at first. Did a cat. Okay doing this coming down. It's pretty steep right here, like vertical. Watch it, there's your last step now. Just around this, just hang onto this next ladder. There's no reason to get on it really. Now it flattens out a little bit. This is looking down the ladders. Let's go down to another level. Little spaced apart. Okay. This must have been put in after the rail was used or not going to go over this. It's got to be after, it's because it's on top of it kind of. Maybe there's some character. Oh yeah maybe. It's missing a run there. Good. But you can move it around. Then you got some of the backs behind the ladders filled up. You got her. This is level number three I think if I'm not lost my count yet. Okay come over, come over there. Come over here. Yep. Here's some DuPont motor weld. Repairs, good. Cracked blocks, water jackets, and valve ports. Huh. Never heard of it.  See if we can see what brand it is or anything. High explosives, dangerous. Dangerous. All right let's see what we have on this one. Tracks are still here. I see some chutes coming up. Here's some dynamite paper. They always wrap the dynamite in the wood boxes but they wrap it in paper also. And they must be coming from different spots. Here's your load counter. 14. Oh yeah that's a, well that comes from a long ways up there. I know isn't it. Yeah there's another chute. Let's see. A Mackie. Or H or A. A Mackie. Where that was. There's a smooth wall over here and some cans. There's a grabbing wall that's pretty nice. Yeah Olympia. That's a modern can. I'm not even going to show it. So here's another chute. Some natural timbers wedged up in there. I don't know what's going on here. Just a little spot below what they've taken. And this is the end of it. The Wonder Bread wrapper. Let's see this paper again. Want to check it? There's a date of 1943 on that paper right there during World War II obviously. All right back to the shaft and I guess down we go. Are you guys still with us? Are you with us Julie? Yes I am. All right let's see if we can go down another level. That's three. There's a something 1934. I don't know what the rest of that is. All right back to the shaft. Let's see what we have down here. I know it is a skinny one in there. Doesn't look too scary does it? Let's go. Okay here comes Julie.  Not too bad though. This is the bottom of the mine right here. That's it. No more and it doesn't look like it ever went any further. So this looks like a short stemming rod where they would drill a hole in there and then pack in the dynamite.  Pretty sure that's what it is. Well it's yeah it's rounded it was just it's kind of it was a like a one by one and they've rounded off. So I'm guessing that's what that was. Here's a nice bucket galvanized bucket with a heavy-duty handle on it. Yeah I like that. Riveted. That's cool. Look at that bow. It's riveted. It's still got a bottom in it. Looks like a butterfinger package in there. Doesn't it? Yeah it does. There's a bottle of something. Another vinegar bottle. Wonder what they do with the vinegar. I don't know. Del Haven. Different brands. Well I've never heard of that. Does it got the shoulders on it? Like the oh yeah vinegar bottles almost always have like a scalloped shoulder on them for some odd reason. They still do today. One of the plastic ones. Here's a bottle. No label. No embossing. Nothing on the top. Okay the beer bottle. Yeah looks like it has oil in it. There's anything on the bottom. There's a top to a carbide can. Union carbide right? Union carbide. There's instructions for something. Explosives. How to spode yourself? Yeah. Instructions and rules. Here's a table. Metal edged table. And it's got a metal bottom. Oh maybe it's not a table. Maybe it's a box. Yeah it's an old strong box again. We always find strong boxes in the bottom of these mines. Not always but often. Maybe for explosive stuff or caps or who knows what. Okay careful now. That looks pretty rotten. No it doesn't. What's over there? Anything? Well there's right on. Well yeah it goes for a bit. Okay so Julie's going to stay over there on that side of that crummy cap on the timber here. So right off the bat I see a hurt to these box cardboard but there's a stick of dynamite in it. Maybe two sticks I guess. Yeah it's two sticks. So I don't want to mess with that. And here's another carbide can top. Here's a big. It looks like a pry bar but it's not really it's a big hook for something. And here's a chute. This is one of those little box chutes. Look at that thing go up there. There's part of a wood dynamite box. This timber is loose. Somebody's made a sign. Oh great. There's another dynamite box part. Here's a ladder. Doesn't go anywhere. Oh look at the blue. Yeah a stope up here. Very low one. More dynamite parts. That's what Hercules legs goes a little further. Here's a dynamite box. Yeah it's just about done. Now here's my little dynamite box workshop. I tried to patch together a complete box but I can't find enough pieces. Anyway I got that far. Got to hurt to these box. Kind of cool. Doesn't quite fit but what are you going to do? Okay there goes Julie back up. Say goodbye to the artifacts here. Bucket bottles. Dynamite box. Okay that's looking down the ladder where we just come from. Julie's on the next segment up. Here she goes. This is a pretty steep one. This one has that roller too you gotta watch out for. Just take your time please. Looks like it's oozing minerals all the way down this edge here. Looks like green paint but it's not. There's a huge scaling bar here. It's got to be seven eight feet long and very heavy. Wow that thing's heavy. I mean I would have piped with a spotty gen for prying on stuff. There's a cam over here. Nothing on it. I had to careful because I'm right by the shaft. I'm going to fall in there. Here he comes from the bottom level. Huge old chunk of rope here. This size of that thing. Yeah huge. It's got to be an inch and a half. It looks like this was another roller but it quit rolling and it almost got cut in half. That's going to end our mine explore for today. We hope you guys enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and we'll see you on our next adventure. See you next time. Thanks for watching. Don't ever leave in the mine. It's pretty fun.


I'm Tom Handell with another CTN member highlight, and today we're focusing on the South Portland Police Department. And with me is Donna Betts, the executive director and founder of Family Hope. That's right now working with the South Portland Police Department. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Before we get into how you work with the South Portland Police Department, could you tell us a little bit about what Family Hope is and your own story?  And we work mostly with family members of adults who have a mental illness. And Family Hope was founded because of what happened in our family. When my oldest son was 23, he had a really serious bout of depression. And so I called everybody that I could think of to try and get help for him. But because he was 23, I wasn't able to make any appointments for him. I couldn't make him do anything. And it was really scary. So I ended up by calling one of the emergency numbers and I said, okay, so I can't make him get help. What is there for us, for the family members? You know, his friends are worried, we're worried. And we want somebody to come and meet with us and just tell us what is going on? What are some of our options? And I was told, oh, there isn't anything like that. But you can call us here 24 hours a day. And I remember getting off the phone and I was thinking to myself, so what are we supposed to do?  And then that's what happened. He died by suicide five years ago. So after that happened, I thought, this is ridiculous. This just can't continue on. So we, as a few of us, and we formed Family Hope and we put up a website. And the purpose of the website is just for basic information for family members.  So even though we don't have a right to make our loved one get help, there are things that we can do. And that's what Family Hope is. Now I know that so often when people have a situation where they're dealing with a person with challenging behavior, either in their family or not, their first thing to do is to call the police department if it seems like a big problem. How do you interact with the South Portland Police Department to help them with that? Well, I had the privilege of going in and speaking with a lot of the officers. And I wanted to share with them my experience, my personal experience with police officers in our town and how important they are to us. Because when they come to our home, when we have to call them in the first place, it's kind of embarrassing that you need the help of the police department. And to have them come into our home, especially when they are CIT trained. And that stands for Crisis Intervention Training and all the police officers in South Portland have CIT training and it makes a huge difference. So when they come in, they know how to react to the person who's living with mental illness and having a problem at that time. So when I went in to talk with them, I also wanted them to know that we're here, the family members are here, and now there's a resource for the family members to call. So if the police have to take our adult loved one to the emergency room and we're left behind with all this chaos that has happened, what do we do? Now they know that they can call us and we'll help connect them with the resources that are helpful for them. Now how often, how long has this relationship been going on and how often do you get calls from family members? We've received about, we helped 100 families last year. We're starting a new program this year where we're actually, we have a social worker on staff now and the social worker will meet face to face with family members. So this is exactly what we needed when Josh was so sick. So now we have a program set up for that. Our website is only a year old. We've had more than 4,000 unique visitors to the website and that is just amazing to me. So I'm just very proud for how things are going right now. Do you interface with other law enforcement agencies too as well? Yes. Actually I live in Scarborough and the Scarborough Police Department has been wonderful. Portland Police Department also, they're all very, very supportive of family hope and of any kind of, any kind of program or service that helps them do their job better. You know, their officers come in and sometimes our loved ones might have a knife or just be violent. They're putting their lives at risk so we want to make sure that they're really safe and we want to make sure family members understand that when the police get there, they are in charge at that point and just because your adult child, you think your adult child wouldn't hurt you, it's very possible when their illness is taken over that they could. So the police are there just to make sure everybody's safe and they do such a great job. Sounds like a wonderful program. Where do people go for more information or what is the website? They can go to our website at www.familyhopeme.org. Great. Well, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for having me.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends of the ocean, I very much regret that I'm unable to attend the Towards an Inclusive Sustainable Blue Economy Conference in person, but I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to send you this recorded message here from Stockholm. During the last years, I've witnessed the international community take several important steps forward. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its specific ocean goal was crucial. We now have a globally agreed action plan for saving the seas. Equally critical was the adoption of the Paris Agreement and more recently the Katowice Rule Book.  It's as simple as that. Promoting the health of the ocean and its resources has been a defining feature of my career, both as previously a journalist and now as a politician. But despite the huge leaps forward in global awareness of climate challenges and in particular on how we treat our oceans, the urgency to do more has never been more acute. The focus of this conference is highly relevant. Achieving an inclusive and sustainable blue economy is critical for livelihoods, for food security, biodiversity and carbon sequestration among other things. It plays a key role in the realization of the whole 2030 Agenda and I commend the cutting edge work carried out by the International Institute for Environment and Development within this area. Globally, Sweden supports the promotion of an inclusive sustainable blue economy in various ways. We have, for example, provided substantial contributions to ProBlue, the Blue Action Fund, WorldFish and the FAO. But these actions are already taken and we must all stretch ourselves now beyond what we achieved yesterday. Today, we need to talk not only about what we could do tomorrow but what we will start doing today. Friends, during this conference, you with your bright minds and experiences from various sectors will discuss how the high seas can be governed, how fiscal tools can make fisheries inclusive and sustainable and finally, how data can improve our understanding of the value of small-scale fisheries. All these topics have critical bearing on the possibilities of achieving an inclusive, sustainable blue economy. The high seas hold vast potential. However, the fulfillment of this potential requires that the resources are effectively managed and conserved. The importance of the ongoing negotiations on a treaty for the high seas cannot be stressed enough. It's also high time that we abolish the subsidies that enable large fishing vessels to thrive but which hurt small-scale fisheries. Reaching an agreement on fisheries subsidies within the World Trade Organization is critical. As women have known for centuries, much valuable work never makes its way into national accounts. The first step to unlocking the potential of small-scale fisheries is to ensure that their contribution to national welfare is adequately recognized. With that, I want to conclude and I wish you all a very successful and productive conference. Thank you for listening.
