Binks and McKaylee
So, my mom and dad picked McKaylee something up on Saturday. Her name is Binks. She is a 6 week old kitten....yes we now have a kitten and McKaylee is OBSESSED with her! She likes to pick her up and put her on the couch, then pick her up off the couch and put her on the floor...over and over and over again. We are still working with her on not picking her up by her neck. Here are some pictures...

2 year Anniversary
So yesterday was Marcus and I 2nd anniversary. He took me out to dinner to my favorite place, Applebee's, and to see Angels and Demons. Then he also got me a dozen white roses!! My husband is so good to me! It's so weird to think that it was 2 years ago that we stood infront of our family and friends and got married! Time really goes by fast!

So, it has come to my attention that when I wrote my post about my new job and the update for McKaylee's birthday, that some people thought I meant that only people I WANTED to come, could come. I just wanted to clarify so that people don't think i'm this big bitch that wanted to cut people out of Mac's birthday...
When I said "for those of you on my list that want to come..." I meant those of you on my BLOG list....not that there was this "special list" and if you weren't on it, you weren't coming. If you honestly believe that i'm shallow enough to cut out family from a famiy event, then no one really thinks that highly of me.
Now, I didn't mean anything rude to anyone when I wrote what I wrote on my last post. I just wrote what I was feeling....and I'm sorry if it makes anyone mad, but seriously, I wasn't going to go camping on the weekend of my daughters 1st birthday....that would have cut my family out of her birthday and if i'm not willing to cut out Marcus's side of the family, what on god's green earth makes anyone think I was going to cut out mine! I wanted everyone there! And when I say everyone, I MEAN EVERYONE! We made it where we celebrated on Sunday because most people come home from camping on sundays....and we thought you all could come down from the canyon and stop by on your way home.
Think what you want. I wasn't trying to make anyone mad....I was just saying how I felt....and too be fair, everyone knew when McKaylee was born, everyone knew she was going to turn one....and for you guys to plan a camping trip on that same weekend was kind of hurtfull...

McKaylee's 1st Birthday!!!
So, my baby turned 1 yesterday!!! We had so much fun. We had tons of friends and family over...had a bbq and opened presents! She got tons of cute clothes! A 2 in 1 bike/walker, a manners tea set, a hide and seek flower pot, a phonics radio, this really cool ball that bounces REALLY high, and her first build-a-bear! It was a nice turn out. I was really sad and disappointed that only Crystal, Claudia, and Mike and Val came from Marcus's side of the family....I really thought that more would come....I mean, she only has one 1st birthday! It's a day and an experience that they can never get back. OH Well....here are some pictures....they do nothing to acutally being there, but oh well....

New Job and update...
So, I am sitting at my new Job!! It's still kinda slow, but I have a feeling that it will pick up and at least be a little fun.
I get to work with Sarah and Danna, so at least I will know someone. And I wont be all alone like I am right now.
Anyways, McKaylee is doing good. She's almost 1!! It's so weird to think that my baby is almost a year old already. It really does seem like a month ago that she was born...We've decided that we're doing a Tinkerbell Theme birthday party for her. For those of you on my list that would like to come, it will be Sunday, May 24 at 4pm. Bring your own meat. I will have some side dishes and of course cake and ice cream. Let me know if your coming and i'll let you know where it will be.

McKaylee's first Easter
So, I tried to get McKaylee to dye her first Easter egg but she wanted nothing to do with it. The Easter Bunny brought her a cute purple stuffed animal bunny. And put some egg's inside, just for her! I guess he knew that it would be too cold for her to crawl around outside....LOL. Anyways, here are some pictures.

Sick Sick Baby Girl
So Mac is sick. We went to the doctor on the 6 and she had an ear infection. So we went back on the 13th and she had a yeast infection. And now, I just spent 2 hours in the after hours clinic because she has thrush.
I am so sick of being at the doctors. More, I am sick of trying to give her medicine. She is so little, I don't want her to be sick all the time.
Anyways, that's the update. I'll write again when I have more information.

New Pictures done!!
So, we took Mac on Saturday to get new pictures done. We figured it was time. I mean, she's almost 9 months old. It's so weird to think that it's been almost 9 months since she was born! She's just my little baby but she's getting so big....Anyways. Here's some new pictures. I hope you like them. I absolutely LOVE them.

R.I.P. Cody Bott
Only 2o years old, this wonderful brother, father, and friend took his own life. His name is Cody Bott. I went to school with him and his 2 sisters. Chealse became one of my best friends and so did her brother.
We had 90 percent of our classes together my senior year. He was always the one that made our classes fun. I remember we would make fun of our Science teacher because she was really creepy. and I'm not being rude. Everyone has creepy teachers. And we didn't do it in front of her.
Cody was a fun man. He could make anyone laugh when all they wanted to do was cry. But he can't help us now. We are all crying for you now Cody. You will be missed.
Thanks Tesha for the picture

McKaylee has her first tooth!!!
So I noticed today, that McKaylee's first tooth is starting to pop threw...!! Yes, my baby girl is getting so big so fast. She's in the 90th percentile for her height and the 75th percentile for her weight. She's pulling herself up on the furniture(which recently started the last 2 days or so). And NOW she's getting her teeth. Wow! I'm so not ready for this. LOL

The New Year....a little late....
Hey, well I know I'm late but it's better late then never. LOL.
So this new year is going to bring a lot of change. I am cutting out soda and sweets. I need to lose weight. I love my mom and everything but I don't want to end up with Diabetes. And I had the gestaional ones....so my risk of getting the real ones are kinda high. I cut out carbanation the day after Thanksgiving, but on New Years Eve, It kinda went out the window.... So I must start over again. I don't think it will be that hard.
So Marcus is going to try to keep in touch with his family a lot more this year. That is his new year resolution. I don't want his side of the family to think that we are trying to cut them out or anything. It's just hard cause we live with my family, not that we want to. But it does kinda tend to make people think that we are trying to cut them out and we don't want that.
Anyways, I'll stop rambling. Just wanted to say happy new year.
Love Maggie, Marcus and McKaylee

I never do these, but it has been a strange week.
Paul and Gillian are back. They are stooped over from carrying those heavy packs. And they have been telling me wonderful stories about Melbourne and Tasmania. About how you can be at the top of Mount Wellington in the middle of summer and be freezing. About how wonderful the food is over there. How in Melbourne they each got a tiny cold crunchy baby corn with a wafer thin slice of abalone on top and paid a small fortune for it. And they tell me I am soft in the head!
Then they told me about MONA (check it out www.mona.net.au) the crazy but amazing and controversial art gallery in Hobart. About how they spent all day getting lost in its labrythine bowels. Literally, the thing shits itself. There is a giant waterfall that casades words in sheets of water; a room full of TV sets, more than 50 of them, each documenting the lives of some poor unfortunate Turks, each more depressing than the last. And there are these cute live larvae being supplied a diet of gold leaf, pearls, turquoise etc and they build their protective silk cocoons from these materials and create beautiful jewellery. All in the name of art. Art, huh, but what would I know! I never got invited.
Yippee. Where?
I'll give you some clues Al. See if you can guess.
And then all week, the clues.
First I found him standing over the toilet bowl tearing up money, throwing it into the bowl and flushing it.
No idea.
The next day he was in the kitchen washing dishes, when he started tossing plates on the ground, smashing them and dancing all around them.
Nah, no idea. You should have seen the look on Gillian's face.
C'mon Al. I'll make it easy for you.
He leaves post-it notes all around the house.
Spanakopita; Mousaka; Ouzo.
I don't know. German, French maybe, double-Dutch, it's all Greek to me. I thought you said you would make it easy.
Paul is shaking his head. Then Gillian pitches in to help.
Come on Al.
And you know how she likes to be crafty. Well, we make this giant hollow paper-mâché horse. She said imagine it is wood. And we both climb inside and go and surprise the neighbours.
And I still have no idea.
Now they are both shaking their heads and looking at me in a funny way.
But I can be crafty too. When they are both sleeping, I sneak off and do some sleuthing of my own. I look in Paul's diary. There it is plain as day. An entry on the 17th March. A single word, HOLIDAY and below it a tiny doodle of a Shamrock. And in Gillian's diary. It is the same, a single entry on St Patrick's day. PEACE AND QUIET. AL AND PAUL LEAVE. YAY!!!! And another doodle of a Shamrock.
Well guys, finally I have outwitted you. This little leprechaun has got it all worked out.

Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos is a good destination for low-key families who want to be in Riviera Maya and enjoy the party scene that nearby Cancun is known for. The city is generally safe, has excellent snorkeling, and is just over an hour drive from the Mayan Ruins in Tulum. Before you book a hotel in Puerto Morelos though, there are a few things to keep in mind: size of the guest rooms; Kids' Club facilities; kid-friendly dining options; and ambiance. Oyster investigators visited the top hotels in Puerto Morelos to see which were best for traveling families, so you can find the perfect hotel. Here are the best kid-friendly hotels in Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya.
Azul Beach Resort Resort Riviera Cancun
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The ultimate family getaway, the all-inclusive 438-room Azul Sensatori mega-resort offers a fabulous kids' club, with fairly modern amenities, lots of fun colors and spaces, and even a life-size Dora the Explorer running around. For the adults, the spa is airy and luxurious with soothing decor. On the hotel's website, the beach looks stunning, but in reality it is full of seaweed and rocks, making it not the greatest place to swim. It is, however, still a great place to rent some kayaks, play beach sports, and get a golden Mexico tan. Fortunately for those looking to swim, the winding lazy river pool weaves around the property, which many swim-up rooms border. Rooms are large, bright, and luxurious, some with private balconies or large Jacuzzis. Although there are hardly any restaurants or non-beach activities in the immediate area, on-site restaurants (including the 12-course, exclusive Le Chique, and Mojito Lounge, with 31 specialty mojitos) and hotel-oriented activities offer plenty to keep vacationers busy
Azul Beach Resort Riviera Maya
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
This 97-room all-inclusive resort feels more like an upscale beach community -- complete with thatched roofs and quaintseaside cabanas. Rooms are spacious, with airy island-style designs and lots of luxurious touches, like deep-dish sinks, flat-screen TVs, and private patios or balconies. Some suites are swim-up, which border the gorgeous pool linking a group of suites at ground level. The four on-site restaurants offer a decent variety to guests, including a bar dedicated solely to tequila, though those staying for more than an extended weekend may find the options a bit limited. But families will appreciate that the restaurants offer kid-friendly options, and the daily kids' club -- a bright, fun space with tons of games and toys -- is a great place for children to hang out while adults dine or visit the spa.
Grand Residences Riviera Cancun
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
This stunning, all-suite luxury property in Puerto Morelos has 103 incredibly spacious rooms with huge balconies or patios. Though many have full kitchens, there is only one on-site restaurant, El Faro, which serves international and Mexican cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- but the menu can get repetitive, especially for those on the all-inclusive plan. There are three beautiful pools, including one for children and one for adults that has a swim-up bar. The beach is superior to many in the area, with soft white sand, calm waters, and a lack of seaweed. The hotel offers free parking and Wi-Fi, and has an excellent on-site gym, but the tiny spa is a bit of a letdown.
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Perhaps the most luxurious of the Dreams hotels in southern Mexico, this 486-room resort attracts families with its numerouspools, kids' club, daily activities, and white-sand beach with calm waters. But couples will not feel out of place, as the attractive, airy guest rooms are downright romantic. Teak wood and marble floors create an ambience of understated elegance, and the massive bathrooms (all with separate showers and Jacuzzi tubs) are a real treat. Plus, the indoor/outdoorspa has small plunge pools, Jacuzzis, and numerous treatment rooms. Some of the restaurants can get loud during peak hours, but other than that, Dreams Riviera Cancun is a tranquil resort for its size.
Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The 496-room Now Sapphire is a sprawling complex directly on a white-sand beach outside Puerto Morelos. The property features the standard Cancun resort amenities -- free non-motorized water sports, a wide array of dining options, a pleasant spa with various treatment options, and an impressive pool. Suites are massive (starting at 520 square feet) and feature elegant, contemporary decor, marble floors, and up-to-date amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. However, it's far from tourist attractions, and Wi-Fi fees can leave guests feeling nickel-and-dimed.
Now Jade Riviera Cancun
Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The Now Jade Riviera Cancun is a 550-room megaresort that manages to be both family-friendly and romantic. The hotel's location in low-key Puerto Morelos helps, while its chic spa and unique decor distinguish the resort from its competitors in nearby Cancun. Also, the adults-only pool here is not restricted to Preferred Club guests, which sets this hotel apart from sister property Now Sapphire. All units are suites with ample space (especially the bathrooms), and the use of a vibrant color palette helps avoid the dreaded "generic hotel" vibe. The private Jacuzzi tubs are also a nice touch, with many located on outdoorbalconies. The biggest drawback is the beach, which is smaller and less impressive than many others in the area.

The second sample is an ATC I made for a green ATC swap. The dragon is stitched in stem stitches, the horns in satin stitch.
I also use stem stitch for the labels of my quilts. This is the label of my little quilt Sunbonnet friends. The lettering is stitched in backstitches.
In 2009 I made a little redwork quilt for my niece. This is just one of the 4 blocks
I stitched in stem stitches. The finished quilt is here.
Last year I used stem stitch to emphasize the flowers on this ATC. The hearts of the flowers are chain stitches and there are straight stitches inside the petals.

John and I have continued to do our pumpkin creations once every week so here is week three!
We decided we wanted to carve 'specialty' pumpkins (ones not normally grown for carving, more eating). I went with the cookie cutter carving idea and John went with the shaving tool idea. In my opinion they both turned out great. What do you think?

Today's color inspiration is extra exciting because A) I LOVE this rich yet unexpected combination of burnt sienna, gold, peach, and taupe, and B) the image is part of a DIY post that shows you how to make your own styling board. I followed this exact tutorial to make a styling board of my own, and I use it all the time! You can see it used here, here, and here. If you'd like additional tips, read to the end of this post!
WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The "hex codes" above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.
A Few Spackled Styling Board Tips:
I used more spackle (aka, premixed drywall compound) than I anticipated, so I had to make a second trip to the store. I recommend buying at least a size up from the mini container…just in case.
I got a little carried away spackling, so my layer was pretty thick. As it dried (and subsequently shrank) on my wood board, it actually made the wood bend. This isn't a huge deal, but my board is no longer perfectly level. If you want to prevent this from happening, use your spackle sparingly.
My over-spackled board required a LOT of time to dry. I left it overnight and it was still a little tacky. It seriously took about 48 hours to dry completely!
The "white" spackle I used wasn't a very bright white once it dried. So, I added some white acrylic paint and that helped brighten it up a bit.

Too Tired to Cook? - 2 Easy Recipes
Sometimes no matter how we manage our life there are times when the joy of slow cooking using freshly market produce is beyond us and we just need to get something on the table quickly.Here are two recipes to keep the "wolves at bay" while you work on the main meal or they can also work perfectly well as a delicious light lunch or dinner.These recipes use two staples in the freezer and pantry – one packet of frozen baby peas and one can chickpeas.
Green Pea Soup
- pack of frozen organic baby peas
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- chicken stock or organic chicken cube
- pine-nuts browned in a little butter
- Yogurt or thick cream
- blender
- fry-pan
- In a fry-pan gently cook the onions and a few leaves fresh thyme in the oil until golden.
- In a saucepan bring 500 mls stock (or water with a stock cube) to the boil.
- Pour into the blender with the onions. Add in the packet of organic frozen baby peas straight from the freezer.
- Blend all together until it is fine puree.
- Pour into the saucepan and warm gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add milk or cream to taste but be careful not to bring it to the boil. More stock can be added if it is too thick.
- Garnish with lightly toasted pine-nuts. You may add a dollop of thick cream or yogurt.
Quick Humus
- 1 can organic chickpeas
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ teas sea salt
- 150 ml hulled organic tahini
- 4 tbsp water

So it's about a week into January and time to get some blogs written, I've got some really cool weddings coming up and some more gear stuff too, the 15th seems to be the day all us Fuji Fans are waiting for with the X-E2 firmware, X-Pro2, X70 and perhaps a few more things, who knows.
I've also got a few more wedding fayres coming up this year which I'm really looking forward to, as it stands I'm on 14 weddings booked in this year and hoping to reach the goal of 25, lets see how it goes!
My thoughts on the Fuji X-E2s and all that.
So this comes before the 15th and Fuji day, where we see a good number of new cameras and firmware updates. I'm keen to try the X-Pro2 but wont get one for a year at least while the price drops, the rumours £1600 price tag is too rich for me, but i'll be going to the photography show this year so thats where I'll be getting my hands on one to have a play with!
The X-E2s is a surprise form a fuji, a seemingly firmware only upgrade which I'm keen to see what it is, I won't get one, I don't think anyone will to be honest, but with this I'm gear to see if us X-E2 users get a minor firmware upgrade while the main stuff goes into this new camera, who knows.
Firmware is what it's all about for me, I love my X-E2 and what it does for me, I don't feel the need to upgrade all the time so a firmware update can breath new life into a camera for me, but if the upgrade is small or doesn't give the updated autofocus systems then I may look at moving over to the X-T10 as they are super cheap right now and that flip out screen is something I'm keen on.
The 16mm. Thats my next goal [I think], for this I'll be doing my usually thing of selling what I have to fund the upgrade and keeping my kit nice and slim but able to cover all bases. I'd sell the 18mm and 12mm to fund this but it's still not a definite thing, I'll see how the bookings come in for this year and if this piece of kit is really worth buying.
Keeping busy
I'm making myself take more photo trips this year, I've got a the Zoo tomorrow where I'll be giving the 56mm a good workout and a bit of a blog on that and I'll be doing more hiking and adventures than I did last year, I really want to have the content for the blog and it's always nice during this downtime to get out there and actually take some photos, so stay tuned for more outdoors blogs and some Fuji adventure.
Thats all for now while I write new blogs and get out there and shoot! Hope you enjoyed the rather random selection of photos here, just something to fill the void of all this text.

When I publicly committed to the Well-Being Pledge at the phenomenally successful GSDC Workplace Well-Being Summit held on February 26th, I'll admit that I did so with a bit of trepidation. It's not that I don't believe the multitudes of evidence that firmly support every element of the pledge. I definitely do. As they say, I "drank the Kool Aid" (the all organic, naturally sweetened version, of course). My trepidation comes with knowing the accountability for all of my future actions that lie ahead.
Worry not. I'm pleased to report great progress made earlier this month from a personal vantage point in further cultivating the "Social" element of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being 5. Social: Having supportive relationships and love in your life.
My husband and I traveled with our adult children (Bobby, Lacey & son-in-law James) and three exceptionally adorable grandchildren (Addison – aka Addi, Levi & Genevieve – aka Nevi or JellyBean) to Cancun, Mexico for a five-day vacation at a fun-filled, family oriented resort on the pristine white sand beach of the Gulf of Mexico. No cooking, no cleaning and no time schedules to maintain (except for the flights to and from, of course). Our biggest challenge was keeping an adequate amount of sunscreen on ourselves and our"grands".
We spent many hours in various pools, at the pirate ship themed waterpark at the resort, wading and body surfing in the ocean, beach walking and finding dozens of extra special seashells for keepsakes, and sleeping with the sound of the ocean as our backdrop. We had coconut ice cream daily. Mango daiquiris were also a daily staple for the adults with the youngsters enjoying a daily diet that included Shirley Temples (otherwise referred to as 'cherry temples' by our grandson, Levi). Life is good. It is good indeed.
And when our children and grandchildren left the resort to fly back home, Bob and I had another two days to spend together in sunny Cancun. Our first stop was to the 'adults only' pool that we hadn't previously had an opportunity to visit. It didn't take long for us to decide that we enjoyed being in the noisy, high energy family-oriented pools much more than the 'adults only' environment. So, we made our return to the same pools we had enjoyed with the younger members of our family.
So, while I wasn't feeling any particular deficiency in my "social well-being" and have generally always felt an abundance of love in my life, the bar definitely was bumped another notch or two higher.
Without a morsel of trepidation, I invite you all to join me in taking the Well-Being Pledge, which is one of five steps in the GSDC Workplace Well-Being Initiative. Please recite after me: For the betterment of myself, my family, my organization and my community, I pledge to and will strive to:
- Contribute to a culture of health and well-being,
- Build an environment that presents healthy options,
- Link systems and health resources to all people,
- Align processes toward healthy activities,
- Design policies that encourage healthy choices,
- Consider the whole person and all elements of well-being,
- Promote the long view in this life long journey, and…
- Celebrate the results including increased levels of energy, creativity, innovation, productivity, life expectancy, quality of life, and well-being at the individual, family, organizational, & community levels.

Descendant adds wine selling to family's pioneer legacy
News-Register, By Karl Klooster: May 30, 2014: Until Thursday, Mac's central district had never before been graced by an independent wine shop. Now it is, thanks to Jeff Woodard, proprietor of Woodard Wines.
The business has been a dream of Woodard's for years, and he's delighted to have secured a high-profile space - the former Shutterbug building behind the U.S. Bank Plaza.
"It's a great spot for tourists and locals," he said. "They'll get a huge breath of Oregon in one stop." Once potential customers step through the door, they won't be able to resist being drawn in by the proprietor's infectious enthusiasm. "I've personally selected every wine here," he said. "I know them all and can guide a customer to precisely what he or she is looking for."
Woodard approaches his work with a level of energy and vitality that can be attributed to inherited genes. Far from denying that possibility, he celebrates it. Justifiably proud of his family heritage, he will readily relate that his great-great-great-grandfather, Jacob Conser, came to Oregon in 1847. That makes Woodard a sixth-generation Oregonian ...
... It's no exaggeration for Woodard to say he tastes everything he puts on the shelves. "How else can you wholeheartedly recommend something?" he asked.
Woodard Wines not only boasts an inventory of limited production releases from small Oregon wineries, it also features hand-selected wines from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Hungary. And this isn't just an accumulation of brands you could readily find elsewhere. These wines come from portfolios of importers who scour the European continent, seeking little-known finds and securing exclusives for their export.
With his knowledge of and passion for wine, supported by dozens of wine people from Oregon and elsewhere, Woodard is well positioned to succeed in making his dream of entrepreneurial success a reality....

20 U.S.C. § 1092(f)
34 C.F.R. § 668.46 and § 668.41 (latter link is to reporting and disclosure of information)
The Campus Security Act requires colleges to report campus crime statistics and security measures to all students and employees by October 1 of each year. Applicants must receive either a report or a notice of its availability and a brief summary of the report. Timely warnings must go out whenever a threat to students and employees is present for the crimes (listed below) which are reported to local police or campus security authorities. Procedures must be in place on how to issue these notices. Crime statistics must also be given to the U.S. Secretary of Education. Enforcement procedures and policies, as well as crime prevention and education programs must be described in the annual report. The 1992 Higher Education Amendments require a campus sexual assault prevention program.
Changes made by the HEOA in 2008
Institutions are required to disclose emergency response policies and evacuation procedures. The first annual security report in which a statement of policy would need to be included would be the report due for distribution by October 1, 2010. The policy should include a description of how text messaging or any other electronic system will be used. The school would be required to document each test of the emergency response system, including data on exercise, time date and announced or unannounced. The emergency response policy must include procedures to implement the following:
- Immediate notice to the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus, unless issuing a notification will compromise efforts to contain the emergency
- Annual publication of emergency response and evacuation procedures to students and staff
- Annual test of emergency response and evacuation procedures. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(J))
- Determine the appropriate campus community segment or segments to notify
- Determine the content of the notification
- Initiate the notification system
Two additional changes made by HEOA are the following:
Institutions must report whether they have agreements (i.e. written memoranda of understanding) with state or local police agencies for the investigation of alleged criminal offenses. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(C)(ii))
The list of hate crimes that must be reported has been modified to include the following crimes: larceny-theft, simple assault; intimidation, and property destruction, theft or vandalism. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(F)(ii))
See the NAICU HEA 101 Quick Guide to Campus Crime Reporting for more information and a link to the text of the new law.
Summary of the New Campus Safety Disclosure Responsibilities:
Institutions of postsecondary education that participate in the Federal student financial assistance programs have been required by Section 485(a) and (f) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) to provide the Secretary with campus crime statistics since 1990. The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008 and reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The HEOA made a number of additions to campus security reporting requirements. This spring, representatives from many postsecondary communities participated in meetings held by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to discuss regulatory language (negotiated rulemaking) and ED expects that language to be issued as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) later this summer. Final rules will be published by November 1, 2009 and will be effective on July 1, 2010. The link above provides a summary of these rules for planning purposes. DOE anticipates that further guidance will be provided once the final rules have been published. However, institutions must make a good-faith effort to comply with the statute in the absence of regulations and should therefore be gathering this information in preparation for the 2010 report.
What Kinds of Reports Need To Be Made Public?
Annual Security Report
- The report or summary must be given to all enrolled students and current employees by October 1 of each school year. Distribution of the annual security report to enrolled students and current employees may be accomplished by
- direct mailing (U.S. Post Office, campus mail, or e-mail)
- direct provision of report to all students (hand out)
- posting on a Web site, and giving notice to all students on where to find it
- The notice must be by U.S. Postal Service, campus mail, or e-mail, and the notice must give the Web address and advise that a paper copy is available on request. Notice on the Web page or a campus kiosk of the availability of the report would not suffice. Prospective students and employees also need to receive notice of the availability of the report.
- According to the final regulations, the following items must be included in the annual security report:
- the crime statistics (described below)
- a statement of current campus policies regarding procedures for students and others to report criminal actions or other emergencies occurring on campus, including
- policies for making timely warning reports to members of the campus community and for preparing the annual disclosure of crime statistics
- a list of the titles of each person or organization to whom students and employees should report the criminal offenses (described below)
- whether the institution has any policies or procedures (and a description of same) that allow disclosure by victims or witnesses of crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics
- a statement of current policies concerning security of an access to campus facilities, including campus residences, and security considerations used in the maintenance of campus facilities
- a statement of current policies concerning campus law enforcement that
- addresses the enforcement authority of security personnel, including their relationship with State and local police agencies and whether those security personnel have the authority to arrest individuals
- encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes
- describes procedures, if any, that encourage professional or pastoral counselors to inform persons being counseled of voluntary disclosure procedures referenced above
- a description of the type and frequency of programs designed to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others
- a description of programs designed to inform students and employees about the prevention of crimes
- a statement of the institution's policy concerning monitoring of student criminal activity at off-campus locations of officially recognized student organizations
- a statement of policy regarding the possession, use, and sale of alcoholic beverages and enforcement of State underage drinking laws
- a statement of policy regarding the possession, use, and sale of illegal drugs and enforcement of federal and state drug laws
- a description of any drug or alcohol-abuse education programs, as required under Section 120(a) – (d) of the Higher Education Act
- a statement of policy regarding the institution's campus sexual assault programs to prevent sex offenses, and procedures to follow when a sex offense occurs. (Details of this requirement can be found at 34 C.F.R. § 668.46(b)(11) and here)
- According to the final regulations, the following items must be included in the annual security report:
- Record-keeping Requirements: Institutions must retain the records on crime statistics for three years following the last year the information was included in the annual report. For example, October 1, 1997 campus security records would be kept until October 1, 2003. If the institution is found to have "substantially misrepresented" the number, nature or location of crimes, civil penalties may result in a $27,500* fine per violation.
- The report or summary must be given to all enrolled students and current employees by October 1 of each school year. Distribution of the annual security report to enrolled students and current employees may be accomplished by
Notice of Availability of Report
Prospective students and prospective employees must receive notice of the availability of the report.
Campus Crime Alerts
A timely warning to the campus community must go out regarding any of the below listed crimes which are deemed to represent a threat to the students and employees, and which are reported to campus security authorities or to local police agencies. The campus crime alert must be issued in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. Campus security may decide to issue an alert about a crime occurring off-campus but in a location frequented by students, even though such a crime would not be included in the annual report.
Campus Crime Log
Institutional law enforcement units must keep a daily log that records crimes by their nature, date, time, general location, and disposition of the complaint. The log must be made available to the public within two business days of a request unless disclosure of such information would:
- be prohibited by law
- jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim
- jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation
- jeopardize the safety of an individual
- cause a suspect to flee or evade detection
- result in the destruction of evidence
Filing of Report with Secretary of Education
The institution must submit the statistics over the Internet to the Secretary of Education, on an annual basis, and on the date specified by the Secretary. In recent years the reporting deadline has been October 15th. The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Campus Security Statistics Website, provides a searchable database of statistics reported by colleges and universities.
What Crimes and Campus Offenses Must Be Reported?
Statistics on the following crimes and offenses are to be reported in the annual security report, which is also to be made available to all students:
- Criminal Homicide: Murder, non-negligent, and negligent manslaughter. Non-negligent manslaughter is the killing of a person through gross negligence.
- Sex Offenses, Forcible or Non-forcible: A forcible sex offense is any sexual act directed against another person, forcibly and/or against that person's will; or not forcibly or against that person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent, i.e., intoxicated. Non-forcible sex offenses are acts of "unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse," e.g., incest or statutory rape.
- Robbery: The taking, or attempting to take anything of value from the control, custody, or care of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
- Aggravated Assault: An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This offense is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm.
- Burglary: The unlawful entry (breaking and entering) into a building or other structure with the intent to commit a felony or theft.
- Arson: Willful or malicious burning or an attempt to burn a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, or personal property.
- Motor Vehicle Theft: The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle.
- On-campus Arrests for Alcohol, Drug and Illegal Weapon Violations
- The number of students referred for Campus Disciplinary Actions1 for alcohol, drug or illegal weapon violations. (If included in the report as an arrest, a referral does not need to be reported under this category.)
- Hate Crimes falling into the above list, involving bodily injury, or reported to the campus security office or local police. (Hate crimes are to be reported by category of prejudice: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.) Note that HEOA of 2008 modified (effective August 14, 2008) the list of hate crimes that must be reported to include the following crimes: larceny-theft, simple assault; intimidation, and property destruction, damage or vandalism. (20 USC 1092 (f)(1)(F)(ii))
When Must the Crime Be Reported?
Crimes must be included in the annual security report for the calendar year in which the crime was reported to the campus security authority. This may not always match the date of occurrence of the crime. See 34 C.F.R. § 668.46(c)(2).
Does It Matter Where the Crime Occurred -- On or Off Campus?
The institution must provide a geographic breakdown of the crime statistics by four categories:
- on campus
- on campus and in a dormitory or other residential facility for students on campus
- in or on a non-campus building or property
- on public property
Public property is defined in the regulations to include thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, or parking facilities that are within the campus, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. A map may be used in complying with the statistical reporting requirements.
Who on Campus Is Responsible for Reporting Crimes and Campus Offenses?
- Persons who receive referrals for discipline involving alcohol, drug or weapon violations which are also a violation of the law, and for which a sanction may be imposed, must report those cases to the campus security office.
- Anyone who is a "campus security authority" who receives a report of or is aware of a crime must report it to the campus security office.
Campus security authorities are defined in the final regulations as:
- Members of a campus police department or a campus security department of an institution.
- An individual who has responsibility for campus security, but is not a part of a campus police department or a campus security department, such as an individual who is responsible for monitoring entrance into institutional property.
- Any individual or organization specified in an institution's statement of campus security policy as someone to whom students and employees should report criminal offenses.
- Any official of the institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, such as student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings, but who is not acting as a pastoral or professional counselor.3 Examples of those with significant responsibility may include the dean of students or other official(s) who oversee student housing, a student center, or student extra-curricular activities; an athletic director; team coach; or faculty advisor to a student group.
Crime Statistics that Do Not Require Reporting
Under the final regulations, the institution does not need to report crimes reported to a pastoral or professional counselor. A pastoral counselor is a person who is associated with a religious order or denomination that recognizes him/her as someone who provides confidential counseling, and is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor. A professional counselor is a person whose official responsibilities include providing mental health counseling to members of the institution's community and is functioning within the scope of his/her license or certification. Under the regulations, priests or clerics at a university, and counselors in a counseling center (including supervised students), would not need to report criminal offenses to the campus security office about which they are informed while working in their pastoral or counseling capacity.
Note that this exemption from the reporting requirements under the Campus Security Act does not relieve counselors of the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect a foreseeable victim from danger posed by the person being counseled.4 If someone indicates to their counselor an intent to commit a violent crime against another, and the counselor determines that the patient poses a serious danger of violence, then steps must be taken by the counselor to protect the intended victim.

Here's a bullwhip that's 8 feet long with a 12 plait two tone overlay:
I've been working on this bullwhip off and on for a little bit. It's an order for a friend of mine that needed it mid-January, so I worked on it in between other projects.
It's been a while since I've done a two tone whip with a plaited pattern. It was fun to do!
It's shipping out today, almost a month ahead of schedule!

Recently Listed Foreclosed Properties in Beaufort SC area, as of May 2013
A foreclosed property or bank owned property in the Beaufort SC area in many cases can be a real deal. In most cases the bank has hired a asset management company to liquidate the property and turn the asset into cash. Sometimes a local lender will handle the property themselves. The home is usually sold in an "as is" condition and in most but not all cases the home will need some TLC. The most important issue to the bank is not always getting "top dollar" for the property but to turn the asset in money it can reinvest, and do it in a timely manner. They will compensate for condition of the home with an attractive price. The object is to sell the home as quickly as possible, after all, time is money.
The listing agent will do weekly reports to the asset company to keep a close eye on the progress of the property. Depending on the showings and interest in the property, it is not unusual to continue to lower the price until a qualified buyer is found.

"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers," states a Jewish proverb. That is the lifelong commitment of great moms to be every- and anywhere to help their children, kiss away pain, soothe, advise, provide a stern hand or whatever else their child might need to benefit.
To our mom Felicia Cole, it's all about what's best for us.
"Being a mother changes because the children are always changing," our phenomenal mom said. "They are getting older and I have to cater to their needs and give good direction."
"I do my best to give good direction when they ask or tell them what to do when they need direction," she said. "You've got to do what you've got to do but they are very good because they listen."
"Every day is Mother's Day," said our dad Michael Cole. He says each day is an opportunity for us to love one each other as a family because tomorrow is promised to no one.
So on this Mother's Day, we celebrate all mothers for everything they do, especially for those who freely give unconditional love, and make all kinds of sacrifices just for the privilege of 3 letters … M-O-M.
To our Mom and Moms all over the world,
VOG says thank you and we love you!

Local Contexts: Traditional Knowledge Labels is a project developed with Kim Christen, Local Contexts (www.localcontexts.org) is an initiative to support Native, First Nations, Aboriginal, Metis, Inuit and Indigenous communities in the management of their intellectual property and cultural heritage specifically within the digital environment. Local Contexts provides legal, extra-legal, and educational strategies (including TK Labels) for navigating copyright law and the public domain status of this valuable cultural heritage. By providing strategic resources and practical solutions, Local Contexts and its partners are working towards a new paradigm of rights and responsibilities that recognizes the inherent sovereignty that Indigenous communities have over their cultural heritage.
The TK Labels are a community-based tool that offers an educative and informational strategy to help non-community users of traditional knowledge understand the importance and significance of cultural materials, even when these are in the public domain and appear as though can be shared and used by everyone. This is often not the case for traditional knowledge, and labeling is designed to identify and clarify which material has community-specific, gendered, and high-level restrictions. This is especially with respect to important sacred and/or ceremonial material, material that has seasonal conditions of use and materials specifically designed for sharing and outreach with others. The TK Labels provide an option for correcting the public historical record. For instance, they can be used to include information that might be considered 'missing,' including the name of the community who remains the cultural custodian of the material, what conditions of use are deemed appropriate, and how to contact the relevant family, clan or community to arrange appropriate permissions.
On December 13th, 2018 Local Contexts has been awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant spanning from 2019-2021. The project is titled Local Contexts: Collaborative Curation, Training and Education for Indigenous Collections, and will be bringing comprehensive training programs to Indigenous museums and collections across the country.
On May 10th, 2018 an historic Memorandum of Understanding was finalized between the Penobscot Nation and the University of Maine after a decade of collaborations. The MOU formalizes cultural heritage work done between the Penobscot and the University, and Jane Anderson worked with the Penobscot to help facilitate this agreement. The full article may be read here.
On May 15th, 2018 at 10 AM Jane Anderson was interviewed by Donna Loring on her radio show Wabanaki Windows. She was joined by Professor Darren Ranco, University of Maine and Penobscot Nation and Ambassador Awendela Dana, Penobscot Nation to discuss the historic MOU between the Penobscot Nation and the University of Maine and the implementation of the TK Labels that are part of that MOU. Link to the live stream can be found here.
On June 4th, 2018 the Library of Congress will be launching its initial TK Labels on their digital catalog. The Labels will be attached to selected phonographic recordings from the Passamaquoddy/Jesse Walter Fewkes Collection. More information and articles forthcoming.

Literato Cafe is a successful pizza and sandwich fast service restaurant in West Lafayette. I helped the already establish brand clean up their graphic standards, unify their menu designs, updated their photo catalog and created a new website and video showcasing their great food.
Visit www.literatocafe.com.
I redesigned the breakfast, lunch, dinner and kids menu as well as the to-go menu for Round the Clock - Valparaiso/Chesterton. I also photographed more than 50 dishes to match the new look and feel of the menus and photographed both location exteriors. The design was later translated into gift cards, digital menu boards and a hand out card promoting Round the Clocks new app as well as a vehicle wrap for their catering service. All of this came together in their new website that now has a shop where you can purchase gift certificates and apply online for a job opening.
I helped RedSeven, a long time staple of downtown Lafayette, with updating their logo and making their brand more consistent. An updated photo catalog, video banner, new website and lunch, dinner and drink menu rounded out this project.
Visit www.redsevengrill.com
The Citrus Diner is a fun, fresh alternative to the breakfast and lunch scene.
I had a great time working on this brand. The overall goal was to brand this restaurant as a fresh and fun alternative to your typical family style restaurant. I designed everything from the logo to the menu to signage, photography and custom type.
Website: www.citrusdiner.com
Opened in 1967 by Mickey Becker he operated it till brothers Peter and Gus Romas bought it from him in 1999. They have kept the same quality and tradition that Mickey had when he opened it in 1967. With its 50th anniversary came a time for an update. I updated the original logo, created a new menu, designed a new website and took new food photographs as well as interior and exterior photos.
Michael's Beef House is a home town classic so when the 40 year old restaurant was bought the name stayed but the look got a revamp. New logo, menu, photos and website were some of the materials that got a facelift.
Website: www.michaelsbeefhouse.com
Food Photography is important, now more than ever. Contact me today to set up your food shoot.
I designed the presentation materials for Oak Partners. A tri-fold folder with staggered inserts and mailing envelope. Other pieces included, a letter head, thank you notes, post-card, power point templates and quarterly newsletter. I did not do this logo or choose the brand colors, I had work around their existing elements and I feel the end results helped this brand excel.
I designed the logo for Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve in Chesterton, IN. Coffee Creek is a 157-acre complex of wetlands, woodlands, and prairie. I designed other materials, most notably is the park map. A lot of time and input went into the map and making it accurate.
Logos are the unique mark of a company, organization or event. I've worked with many Northwest Indiana businesses and beyond to give each it's own personality and flavor. A graphic designer's personal style should be imposed on a logo, the subject matter itself should be the driving force behind the logo's visual appeal. Be it a logo for cancer, a park, or an event - each logo should become a strong representation of the organization.
Let me help you build your brand, contact me today.
I am privileged to help Calvary Church in Orland Park with their sermon graphics, logos and post cards. I revamped their logo to give it a clean look and feel and most recently designed their annual report. The follow images are from various sermon series. The Astonished series is my favorite because I also shot all of the portraits of members for that series.
Centennial Park in Munster, In is the Town's largest park and offers a family oriented environment with its large soccer fields, playgrounds, clubhouse with banquet facilities, restaurant with outdoor seating, outdoor pavilions, entertainment stage, formal gardens, 3-acre dog park, walking paths, fishing, and wide-open natural spaces. This eco-friendly environment preserves the natural surroundings of the land. The clubhouse has obtained Silver LEED Certification. The 9-hole golf course with driving range was designed by Tim Nugent.
I was able to design the logo for the park, golf course, dog park and the restaurant in the clubhouse called The View. The elements in the logo and materials were all taken from the park.
The INsight Design Conference is an annual creative event that brings together the creatives of Northwest Indiana for one night of speakers and networking.
These materials are from our 7th event in 2014. I designed the event booklet, name tags, in-house signage, stickers and presentation screens for each speaker and sponsor. The event website was design and managed by Jamie Wayne and the video was completed by Faith Church.
The Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster, IN has been in business for 20 years. Along with their 20th anniversary, we created a whole new look for the Center. The goal of the project was to position the Center as a destination facility. The project covered everything from new collateral to way finding to outdoor graphics to a new marquee.

The PhysioPoint Wellness and Therapy Services in Crown Point, IN is a boutique line of one-on-one therapy. I created everything from the logo and print materials to the photography, video and website. This entire project is a great example of a 360 brand and a true partnership between the owner and creative.

This is a collection of publications and print design that I have been lucky to complete for various clients over the years.

Brick Lane in East London has always been one of my favourite places to visit when I have a few hours, just to wander around the little shops, smell all the different cusines and see the melting point of culture that the area is.
It also has some amazing street art, which note I call Street Art, not Graffiti as that would be doing it an injustice. Some of my favourite ones. If you stumble onto this blog and recognise your work I would love to hear from you and also so I can put some credits next to your work. These just touch the surface, if you are at a loose end one Sunny Sunday go for a wander.
Updated this a little and put the pictures into a slideshow from London, going to add a new section this month with the street art all around Brighton I have seen which is superb.

Having been serious on this blog — even deep and meaningful — in a few posts this week I offer this in a spirit of fun, and can almost guarantee you won't have read it before! I found it in the whitewolf collection, and if you click the author name below you can see what he says about A B Paterson, one of the two best-known 1890s bush balladeers — though both of them lasted into the 20th century, Paterson rather longer than Henry Lawson…
The Animals Noah Forgot
Fur and Feathers
Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson
THE EMUS formed a football team
Up Walgett way;
Their dark-brown sweaters were a dream
But kangaroos would sit and scream
To watch them play.
"Now, butterfingers," they would call,
And such-like names;
The emus couldn't hold the ball
—They had no hands—but hands aren't all
In football games.
A match against the kangaroos
They played one day.
The kangaroos were forced to choose
Some wallabies and wallaroos
That played in grey.
The rules that in the west prevail
Would shock the town;
For when a kangaroo set sail
An emu jumped upon his tail
And fetched him down.
A whistler duck as referee
Was not admired.
He whistled so incessantly
The teams rebelled, and up a tree
He soon retired.
The old marsupial captain said,
"It's do or die! "
So down the ground like fire he fled
And leaped above an emu's head
And scored a try.
Then shouting, "Keep it on the toes!"
The emus came.
Fierce as the flooded Bogan flows
They laid their foemen out in rows
And saved the game.
On native pear and Darling pea
They dined that night:
But one man was an absentee:
The whistler duck—their referee—
Had taken flight.
The Bogan, of course, is a river…

I don't know what exactly transpired before this mayhem broke out, but builder Mark of Falworth certainly captured the action. Word is the stained glass was spared, that was a close one.

To use the simulator click on the icon of the desired lens.
Unfortunately is not possible to simulate in a fully realistic way how the lens behaves, without considering the different perception of the colors from a monitor, often not precise. We therefore suggest to consider this simulator in an indicative way, considering that the color perceived in the reality will depend on the ambient light and by the time that you' ve been wearing it.
Photocromatic and polarized lenses from the "The One" series are not available in the simulator since they change in an automatic way, adapting the color and the light quantity.

Beach Waves Tutorial/
It's hair day! So I get a lot of questions about my hair in all of my YouTube videos so I figured I would do and 'updated' hair tutorial. This is typically how I style my hair when I want it curly. Sometimes I use different or less products and sometimes I'll make the curls slightly tighter. I also have a curling iron by Hot Tools that I use when I want more traditional curls instead of waves. Either way, I always style it the same (see end of video). My two biggest tips are to tease your hair and mess up all your curls so they don't look perfect. I hope you all enjoy this video and find it helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

Facebook decided to build its first wholly owned data center in Prineville, Oregon. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and Prineville has always seemed, pardon my French, the ass end of nowhere. But that's a medium-sized city boy's statement: Prineville has a rich history, and it's in a gorgeously severe landscape. It's the kind of place people escape to, not just from. That said, employment opportunities were never great, and now are terrible, with a 16% unemployment rate (the actively looking), and god knows how many people who have opted out of the workforce entirely and perhaps forever. It's a rough place to make a living, because the closest big neighbor is Bend, and it's far from everywhere else.That make Facebook's decision interesting. They located there for the climate. They're using a new paradigm in data center operations in which instead of bringing in huge, expensive, and energy-sucking air-conditioning systems to cool servers, and locating near the cheapest possible power (such as near the Columbia River, where many data centers were built in the last several years) fresh air is sucked in and lightly modified as needed. A friend took a job as the #2 guy at the data center, and he suggested I visit. I had that elevated into an official press visit, and went down a couple of weeks ago for a long afternoon. Facebook is very interested in spreading the word about its approach, and in getting favorable publicity about its actions. With that in mind, I was still quite impressed with the frankness of the answers I got to my questions, the extent of what they showed me, and how excited and upbeat everyone is about the work they're doing. I wrote three Economist.com posts at the Babbage blog about my trip, focusing on different big-picture angles illustrated through smaller stories:
- Social desert, about why the data center is in Prineville, anyway.
- Mad crush, looking at a failed hard drive's journey through the facility and Facebook's privacy issues.
- Mi data, su data (which I wanted to title "Don't fence me in"), looking at why the Facebook data center campus has no fence.
What was neat about the trip was the chance to visit with my buddy Chuck, with whom I stayed overnight (and he fed me steak, thank you, Chuck), catch up briefly with a friend from high school who works security there, and chat with a former Seattle data center guy I knew who had followed Chuck south. I knew nearly 10% of the staff! It's a social place.

The gaol entrance as it appears today
Richmond Gaol is the oldest, still intact, gaol in Australia. It predates the penal colony at Port Arthur by five years. A cornerstone of the convict system devised by Governor Arthur, the gaol was erected by convicts in 1825-27 in several stages. The 1835 wing built to accommodate women prisoners are the best preserved female convict structures still existing in Tasmania.
Specific regulations drafted for the Richmond Gaol in the 1830s aimed to maintain a constant vigil on the prisoners. Floggings - usually carried out by convicts or ex-convicts themselves - were frequent. The colonial hangman, Solomon Bleay, was also imprisoned at Richmond Gaol, being escorted to and from Hobart and Launceston (the only places of execution), when necessary, to carry out his duties.
Many of the gaol's prisoners remained unbowed by the system imposed upon them and escapes were frequent throughout its history. Convicts resorted to all manner of means to break out, including removing roof shingles, digging under the foundations and removing lintels over windows.
In 1945 the gaol was ceded to the State Government as a State Reserve under the Scenery Preservation Board and subsequently gazetted as an Historic Site under the National Parks and Wildlife Act in 1970.
The gaol, now a museum, is open daily from 9am to 5 pm. Phone (03) 6260 2127 for details.
