Summer/Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
An Unpredictable Plot: From Broadway to Princeton Seminary
"Princeton is the next step in obedience for me," says Cress Darwin, M.Div. middler. He had successful careers as a professional actor in New York City and then as cofounder of a production company that made eighteen biographies (including of Tony Bennett, Charles Schultz, and Jimmy Stewart) for the cable channel A&E. But the storyline changed, and Darwin found himself studying at Princeton Seminary, sharing a dorm room in Hodge Hall, and taking the lead role in the Seminary's production of Job: A Mystery Play.
"I always was involved in the arts," he says. "I came to New York in the early '70s as an actor. I could sing, I could act, I could dance, and I had my union card. So I had a good career, primarily in musical comedy."
While acting and later producing, Darwin was also involved in ministry at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City—serving as president of the board of deacons, helping start a homeless shelter, serving on session three different times, and chairing the communications committee. "I had a relationship with Christ, and I would let people know about my faith," he says. "But it never seemed right that I should go into ministry in a formal way."
Then one day a church phoned the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church looking for someone to fill in as pulpit supply. All the pastors were busy, but someone thought of Darwin, who had given a few homilies at Fifth Avenue, and recommended him.
"It changed my life," he says. "Everything I had worked on my entire life in terms of writing, producing, acting, just really crystallized in the preparation and proclamation of that sermon."
Meanwhile Tom Tewell, Darwin's pastor, a PTS trustee, and a Class of 1973 alum, was encouraging him to take another step in the direction of seminary, something Darwin had considered occasionally—though he had never found the timing quite right.
Tewell kept saying to Darwin, "Cress, you might think about seminary." Darwin kept replying, "I don't have time. I couldn't get in. I've been out of school for so many years." Tewell suggested he just take the first step and apply. "So eventually I applied to Princeton…and I was accepted," says Darwin. "But then I thought, Well, holy smokes, what do I do now? And then it was just a series of next steps, next steps, and next steps. That's how I ended up in Princeton."
Attending Princeton entailed a considerable shift in lifestyle. Darwin commuted back to New York City on the weekends to the apartment he shares with his wife of twenty-one years, Rebecca, who is a successful businesswoman (and was at one time the first woman and youngest-ever publisher of The New Yorker).
During the week he enjoyed his classes—Prolegomena to Philosophy and Systematic Theology were his first-year favorites—though it was a challenging transition back to the classroom. "I hadn't taken a test in thirty years," he laughs. "And no one wanted to know whether I could write a good script! They just wanted me to analyze the texts they gave me. So it's been a wonderful discipline, as long as I'm willing to surrender. There's a lot of relief, a lot of strength, a lot of blessing in being willing to surrender one more thing, in being willing to be taught."
As well as taking this opportunity to learn, Darwin took the chance to share his talents with the PTS community by taking the role of Job in the student-written (Sandra Kunz), faculty-directed (Rob Lancaster), student-acted Job: A Mystery Play.
"I hadn't really been involved in theater since I did professional theater—which had been about fifteen years," he says. But he liked the script, he liked the idea of playing the lead (he laughingly admits), and the character of Job was the right age for him to play. It seemed like another step God was inviting him to take.
"The more I got into the play, the more I thought all of us in the cast were called together at this point, in this place, to do this play," he says. "I really believe that. Because there were parts that were really demanding, that not just anyone could do. So there was a very particular group of talented people with the commitment to do it. The music was terrific. Everyone worked really hard. The more we got into it, the more we realized, 'There's something really going on here.'
"And I think living within this character of Job will inform my ministry as I move forward. To a certain extent [stepping into the character of Job in] rehearsals felt like entering a bad, abusive domestic relationship where I was abused, maligned, physically harmed. This relates to ministry because I believe we have to have some sense of identification in ministry. Some sense in order to empathize. It's not that we have to become victims of domestic abuse [for example, in order to minister to domestic abuse victims], but having gone through this experience [of identifying closely with Job]…well, I believe God doesn't call the equipped, God equips the called. I believe part of my playing this role was my being equipped for ministry."
Darwin is not sure exactly what he's being equipped for. He didn't come into seminary with parish ministry necessarily in mind, but he has since joined the ordination track (another step). He recently formed a new company called Next Step Productions and is helping the Center for Barth Studies with a documentary on Karl Barth. This summer he and his wife sold their house in the Berkshires ("God has a way of calling one from comfort"). They plan to live in Tennent Hall next year; Rebecca, too, is taking the chance to look at new possibilities.
When God is the author, one can never be sure what plot twists the script will take. But, as Darwin said of playing the part of Job, "Ultimately, the story affirms my sense of a God who I can trust." Which makes all the difference in taking the next step.

Dunkirk man pleads guilty to filing taxes for 120+ dead people
BUFFALO – A Dunkirk man has confessed to filing federal tax returns on behalf of several deceased people.
John Berry Jr., 42, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Richard Arcara to making a false claim against the United States. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Mango, who is handling the case, stated that between Sept. 3, 2008 and March 25, 2009, Berry filed 122 false income tax returns for the tax years 2007 and 2008 with the Internal Revenue Service. During that time, Berry obtained the personal and identifying information for 122 recently deceased individuals and then used that information to file federal tax returns on behalf of the deceased. He created fraudulent income and withholding information for the deceased and filed the returns electronically.
The 122 tax returns sought refunds totaling $217,520 from the IRS, of which Berry received $92,462.
"This case should serve as a warning that our office, working with our law enforcement partners, will not tolerate attempts to either steal the identities of individuals, or the money of the taxpayers of this country," said U.S. Attorney William Hochul Jr. "That this defendant would rob the identities of deceased individuals is concerning, and could have brought additional grief and pain for their loved ones."
The plea is the culmination of an investigation on the part of special agents of the IRS' Criminal Investigations division.
Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 26 at 1 p.m.

Peruvian boobies have the advantage as solitary hunters
Just off the coast of Peru, the Humboldt Current produces one of the most productive marine ecosystems on the planet. Humans and animals alike have based their livelihood on the abundance of marine life that results from the deep, nutrient-rich waters of this coastal upwelling. Seabirds, which gather in massive groups off the coast to prey on schools of fish, have been completely sustained, until recently: Anchovy decline from overfishing and El Nino's warmer waters have led to a major drop in seabird populations. One resilient bird, however, has held steady due to its solitary hunting style.

We worked with your great grandparents James and Eulah for years and then Charles bought their drugstore. We knew James Walter while he was growing up. I am so sure they would be so proud of all of you. Listening to the boys talk of their mother and father proves what fine gentlemen they are and one could not ask for a more perfect family as you have. I do regret that they did not live to see this wonderful legacy of theirs. Ruth Walker

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (110 votes).
In short: My second time at this run. A lot better organised then last years. I be taking part next year. Date of review: November 11, 2011
In short: fantasticIn full: first HM and loved it crowds were fantastic the finish in broad street was unbelievable the hill wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be but spent the next day in agony, have signed up for next year..cant waitDate of review: November 8, 2011
In short: `happy to see my city in the running mapIn full: *good crowd support*excellent organization*not so picturesque scenery*last few miles are steep.last few miles could be re routed to avoid those hills.runners are already tired by the time they reach those hills.have mercy please*medal is average.not good enough for my efforts.i collect medals.the EDF medals of previous HMs are far better than the BUPA ones.*the goody bag hasnt have much in itthis is my 4th Birmingham HM.this might be the last as well unless those things ive pointed out are addressed.BUPA is a big name and a big company.please live up to your name.Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Brum Run Gets Better. Good organanisation and enjoyable. Route could include more of leafy Bournville areas. Shame the "hill" comes so late on but at least you know the end is close !In full: My third Birmingham (home town) run. 2009 was OK. 2010 was spoilt by poor start & finish planning. 2011 - much better. Starting in waves was a good idea to prevent over crowding on the early narrow streets. Route is OK but more could be made of leafy Bournville area instead of the grey city centre side streets near the start and after the park. Supporters gave lots encouragement and were keen though there were many gaps with no one.(might improve in years to come as it becomes more popular). More top ranked runners would elevate the event as would a few celebs. Minus point was expectation that runners could all remove their own timing chips. It needed many more helpers equipped with "cutters".A long way to go to match the appeal of the Great North Run but a good event to build on. Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Best Brum half yetDate of review: October 30, 2011
In short: The best Brum half so far!Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: A BIG CITY RACE SO EXPECT CROWDS, HIGH PRICES AND NO PB!In full: I have done all the Brum Halfs and until Great Run stepped in, last year's farce was going to be my last. A transformation - excellent organisation and no quibbles.Some comments from others:Cost? This was average for big city races; if you want value do a club race. Haile may have been kind about Brum but money no is beauty brought him here.Picturesque? This is Brum; there is no picturesque route!Hills? If the race is to start and finish at or near Broad St the laws of physics make a hill at the beginning and the end unavoidable. I loved it. No PB but 1:31 is OK for a 48 year old!Date of review: October 29, 2011
In short: A bit pricey, need to change the route getting a little boring now, overall though well organised this year!!Date of review: October 29, 2011
In short: Excellent event, although rip off priceIn full: Quick gripe, price - rip off. The improvements made since last year don't warrant the extra fee. I can see where most of our money went though with Haile Gebrselassie running.Now the positives,it is a great race, really well organised. I've run three in Birmingham now and have enjoyed every one of them. Not sure why people are whining about the hills - I don't really like them either but we don't live in the Netherlands so you can't easily avoid them in a long distance race. Big Tip: Train on some hills people and stop whining like great big babies !Will run next year depending entry fee hasn't increased.Date of review: October 29, 2011
In short: fantastic - much better organisation this yearIn full: I agree with the general consensus that the end is a killer. A route which goes from Bournville through University, Harborne to the Hagley road to finish on Broad Street would be better. Otherwise brilliant. Can't wait for next year!!!! :) Date of review: October 29, 2011

Another one dropped today with Texiera out for 10 weeks. ARod, CC, Jeter, Rivera, Swisher all gone or just trying to make the field. And another starter is hurt too - to lazy to look it up. The Yankees are gonna have a looooooooooong season. Hope they're not counting on Pronk for 600 AB's. Schandenfreude - I has it.
At first I was pissed that they scheduled the Bronx Bombers for the opening series as those are sellouts anyway, but now I'm glad we open with them here in the early 4 game set. Then we play them in NY early June.

A lot of people just add a tablespoon of vinegar for the gluten issue.. Just another thought if you don't want to use vodka. ;-)- aba
This sounds a lot like the old blitz method of making pastry (Danish) dough. You cut the cold fat into small, walnut size pieces and mix them with the flour until they are about the size of Lima beans, then add the water and other dry ingredients and mix just enough to incorporate. Immediately scale and ball the dough and place it in the cooler for about 24-hours, then sheet (roll) to about 1/4-inch thickness, and fold several times (left to center, right to center, top to center, and bottom to center) place back into the cooler to rest (about 8-hours) and then roll to form your pizza skin. The amount of fat to use will be between 20 and 25% of the total flour weight. A number of years ago Schwan's (Tony's) made a type of pizza on a crust that they called Italian Pastry Crust. This was made in a similar manner except that they used commercial hard fat flakes instead of cutting the fat themselves. The resulting crust was tender eating, and had a decided pastry looking appearance.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor

Enough, already
To the editor:
Usually the Friday "Thumbs up/Thumbs Down" Short Takes are non-controversial. This past week's "Smokes going up?" (Marshall Independent, Jan. 25, 2013), is wrong-headed.
Cigarettes are still a legal product and while they are a health risk to the user and perhaps those around them, they pale in comparison to the toxicity of automobile and diesel exhaust.
The average new model automobile adds nearly 10 tons of CO2, carbon monoxide and many other toxins into the atmosphere. Older models and less energy efficient cars add even more. For the average tobacco user to match the amount of undesirable gases to the atmosphere, he or she would have to smoke about 500 cigarettes per day. With smoking bans almost everywhere except private homes, cars and outdoors, the effects on society by tobacco has been reduced. Raising the price of a package by another $.94 is simply unfair.
I have two alternative solutions to raising revenues to the state of Minnesota. Add the $.94 tax to gasoline and people will start walking more, driving less, combining shopping into fewer trips and conserving fuel. Those who commute great distances to work will find people with similar destinations or use mass transit. The air will be less toxic and the U.S. will become closer to complete energy independence.
Almost everyone would like to see government spend less. Here's a "two-fer." Legalize small amounts of marijuana for personal use, add the proposed cigarette tax and perhaps additional taxes to marijuana. Legalized marijuana would reduce the criminal elements that currently deal with drugs, reducing crime and the need to imprison those dealers, saving around $30,000 per inmate on an annual basis. That amount of savings could provide a long term budget surplus, ending the annual ritual of accounting tricks, delayed payments to school districts and local government outside the metropolitan area and lessen the proposed tax-rate increases on both income and consumption.
Those who choose to smoke do so with the full knowledge of the potential side effects to their health; many might be enticed into quitting with the added costs, and perhaps, smoking by those under age might be reduced. History has demonstrated that teen-agers like to try things that may not be in their best interest, and after a very short trial most will quit those activities. Part of that is rebellion against authority, like speeding and alcohol consumption.
What is truly needed is a wide-spread comprehensive approach to paying for government, with protection for individual rights like tobacco usage, recreational marijuana usage, and other over-steps by government at all levels.

Just what I was looking for!
By Happy Mom and Teacher
from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I ordered this magnetic calendar to use each day with my 4 year old son to introduce him to the calendar format and to practice numbers, days, months and seasons. I chose a magnetic calendar because he likes magnets and I knew it would be more interesting for him. Also, I don't have to worry about using or losing paper clips, thumb tacks or staples that might normally be used with a teaching calendar. This is definitely a parent or teacher directed activity as there are lots of magnetic pieces that could go missing, especially with a younger child. My son and I look forward each day to our calendar time and I would definitely recommend this product.
It's okay.
By Amanda

About Me Stay At Home Parent
The board is very flimsy and the magnets come off easily. Due to this we have already lost magnets which kind of defeats the purpose of what it is meant to do. I would not purchase this product again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hades Freezes Over: Duke Nukem Forever Makes Comeback

Sender E-mail
The king is back! "Duke Nukem Forever" has been revived, and is nearing release in a shocking turn of events.
(Source: Kotaku)
The demo features a quick taste of the game's combat gameplay, in which the macho-protagonist, Duke Nukem, fights to save his babes from hoards of evil extraterrestrials.
(Source: Kotaku)
The game features plenty of sexual innuendo just like its predecessors -- the demo concludes with Nukem appearing to be receiving oral pleasure from a pair of females.

"Hail to the king baby!", Duke Nukem is back. Some may take Friday's announcement of
Duke Nukem Forever
's resurrection as a sign of the end of times, but it's hard not to feel a bit of excitement that maybe, just maybe, this bad joke could transform into a modern first-person shooter gem.
For today's younger generation of gamers, Duke Nukem may not ring many more bells than Q*bert, but there was a time when the brash talking, hyper-masculine, buzz-cut womanizer Duke headlined one of the best selling first person shooters of its decade (
Duke Nukem 3D
By the year 2009, those who still remembered the games used them more frequently in punchlines than in praise. After all,
Duke Nukem 3D
's sequel, the ironically named
Duke Nukem Forever
, had seen an extraordinarily bizarre development lifecycle with developer 3D Realms
still without a finished title
after 12 years of development, dating back to 1997. Then in mid-2009 Take-Two Interactive, who had purchased publishing rights,
sued cash-strapped 3D Realms
, just as the company was
reportedly finishing up
the long awaited title.
The ensuing legal battle was settled with undisclosed terms in May of this year.
3D Realms retained the rights to the game. And in perhaps the wisest decision it had made concerning the seemingly cursed title, it decided to hand over the development reins to Randy Pitchford's studio Gearbox Software.
Mr. Pitchford was no Nukem newbie. He had been hired in the 1990s to help development
Duke Nukem 3D
. And while he left 3D Realms just as
Duke Nukem Forever
was kicking into full swing, Mr. Pitchford always kept a soft spot for the machismo-machine that made him a software superstar.
On Friday at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Mr. Pitchford let the cat out of the bag showing off a 15-minute live gameplay demo [
video here
] filled with sexual innuendo,
, and suitably attractive graphics. And according to Mr. Pitchford the game is nearly finished, and will launch complete with multiplayer. He states in a
recent interview
, "It's a large, large game."
If you think Mr. Pitchford might be tempted to tone the game down for today's
more sensitive audience
, think again. It looks to be headed for a solid "M" -- if it catches the ESRB folks on a generous day.
Mr. Pitchford describes the protagonist, remarking, "In Duke's world this is all real shit. These fucking aliens are here and they're fucking our planet up and they're taking our chicks. There's a reason for that, and Duke is the only guy who can stop them. In his universe, that all makes perfect sense. As a result, he is the most important person in his universe. And he knows it. He enjoys it. He franchises it! He's got Duke Burgers opened up all over the country. It's a weird universe, but it works for him. He's the king!"
But the "king" has his work cut out for him if he hopes to win back gamers. After all if there's one thing more deadly than a pack of babe-stealing aliens, it's the risk of remaining a punchline from one more delay.
Despite the risk, Mr. Pitchford is the picture of confidence and exuberance. He says he can understand if some are skeptical, but promises not to disappoint. He states, "I think everybody feels the way I felt when Duke was in trouble in 2009. Yeah, we've been jerked around. But we kind of want him to be triumphant. In Duke's time of need, we almost want to support him. And I'm feeling that kind of love."
As for Nukem, he appears to be feeling the love, too.
The demo concludes with the camera panning out to show that the whole intro experience was just a console game being played by the
Duke Nukem. And Duke has company -- a pair of females, who appear to have been giving old Nukem some oral pleasure. One of them takes a breather and looks up at him to ask, "So how was the game Duke, was it any good?"
He gruffly remarks, "Yeah, but after 12 fucking years . . . it better be."

Solid economic growth
Friday, December 28, 2012
QBR co-author and economist Rich MacDonald.
Solid economic growth suggests the St. Cloud area economy is experiencing "a full-blown expansion," according to St. Cloud State economists King Banaian and Rich MacDonald.
Employment statistics, the St. Cloud Index of Leading Economic Indicators and survey data reported in the latest St. Cloud Area Quarterly Business Report (QBR) mean the local economy "is expected to remain strong over the next several months."
Private sector employment grew at a 3.1 percent rate in the year ending October 2012. Education and healthcare employment grew at an annualized rate of 5.9 percent. The St. Cloud Index of Leading Economic Indicators rose in the latest quarter to an historic high. And, 60 percent of the 82 firms survey by the QBR experienced improved business activity during the past three months.
Casting a shadow over the area's economic resurgence are the federal budget cuts and tax increases known collectively as the "fiscal cliff." Congress and President Barack Obama are working to mitigate negative economic effects that could flow from the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and planned spending cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011.
Central Minnesota's definitive, survey-based analysis of economic activity is published by Times Media, Greater St. Cloud Development Corp., and these St. Cloud State entities: Center for Economic Education, Department of Economics and the School of Public Affairs.
Read a feature story about QBR authors MacDonald and Banaian. MacDonald's doctorate is from Binghamton University, State University of New York. Banaian holds a doctorate from Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, Calif.

You want a same day game thread, you got a same day game thread.
Two weeks ago the Heat beat the Cavs in Miami 92-85 without DWade. Tonight DWade is back but the Cavs will be missing AP, Boobie, and TT, so I don't see how they compete in this one. I expect the ends of the bench for both teams will be on the floor for the entire 4th quarter. Lot of garbage time for everybody.
Scott will probably limit his starter's minutes as much as possible with a home game against the Clippers tomorrow night. The Cavs have rarely been blown out this year, but this game has blowout written all over it. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how the Cavs make a game of it. Bosh went off for 35 last game, but he won't have to take that many shots with DWade back.
I don't expect the Heat to take the Cavs all that seriously so maybe the Cavs keep it interesting until they hit their usual 2nd quarter doldrums. If they're still in it at halftime I'll be more than impressed.

This portrait of unknown origin, depicting Davis in the 1880s, hangs in the office of The Papers of Jefferson Davis, located at Rice University in Houston, TX
Jane Cook Davis, the mother of Jefferson Davis, was born in North
Carolina about 1760 or '61, the daughter of noted Baptist minister
William Cook and Scotland native Jennie Strahan, reportedly a relative
of Nathanael Greene. Jane met Samuel Emory Davis
in South Carolina during the American Revolution, and they were married
right after the war in 1783. The following year she gave birth to Joseph Emory Davis, the first of their ten children, half of whom were born before the couple left Georgia about 1797.
After Samuel's death in 1824, Jane Davis remained at Rosemont. She lived long enough to see Jefferson, her youngest child, remarry,
dying in October 1845 while Jefferson was seeking a seat in the House
of Representatives. She is buried at the cemetery at Rosemont.
For more information, see Volumes 1 and 2 of The Papers of Jefferson Davis. Much of the correspondence between Davis and his parents was destroyed by Union troops in 1863.

Fast-track breeding is a faster and more efficient way of doing what nature and farmers have always done.Organization; and in 2010, lack of adequate treatment — meaning artemisinin — contributed to the deaths of 655,000 children from malaria.
These methods have the potential to make breeding aim at enhancing biological and agricultural diversity.soybeans. But as costs fall even faster than Moore's Law would predict and genetic methods become routine, researchers are now also applying them to the so-called orphan crops on which much of the developing world depends. Molecular breeding is not as effective so far for crops that propagate clonally, including such tropical staples as cassava, sweet potato, yams, bananas and plantains. But for rice and many other crops, it enables breeders to quickly tailor a plant to a particular environment or taste.

Don Morrison serves his community
JAY – Don Morrison has spent much of his life serving this community in some form or another.
He grew up in Carthage, attended school there and graduated in 1962. Upon his graduation he attended SUNY Plattsburgh to get a B.A. in elementary education. He moved back to Carthage and began his teaching career by teaching fifth-grade students at Great Bend.
Don then decided to join the Army during the Vietnam conflict. (Yes, he joined; he was not drafted.) He ended up becoming a dog handler for alert dogs, and during his second year in the military, he was sent to Vietnam. His job was to head out with a dog, ahead of military groups, to make sure there were no land mines or other hazards. Also he and the dog were brought in to find stashes of weapons. His military service ended after one tour of flying around Vietnam to help different units.
Upon Don's return home, he began to teach fourth grade in west Carthage. It was there he met his eventual wife, Connie, who taught physical education.
After Don finished out his time at west Carthage, he received a position as assistant dean for the dorms at SUNY Potsdam. Connie stayed behind to finish out her contract at west Carthage.
Don remembers the days at Potsdam as very good ones. He was making a good salary, he could take any courses he wanted for free, he was given housing, and he even had someone who came in once a week to clean.
Don and Connie married at the Jay United Methodist Church in 1970 because her parents lived (and still live) in the area and attended that church. Their first daughter, Heather, was born while he was working in Potsdam.
Thanks to the free classes Don was allowed to take, he received a master's degree there. It was then, after three years at Potsdam, that he decided to take a position in Lake Placid. The job was reading consultant for the school, and he was in charge of the reading program. Connie took a physical education job in AuSable Forks.
Don and his family moved to Jay, and they ended up living in several different places there before finding the home they currently live in. Don continued on as the reading consultant at Lake Placid Elementary School for four years until the principal position opened up. Don applied and ended up with the job. He spent the next 20 years in that position before retiring.
As the principal, Don enjoyed testing the kid's abilities. He had several book reading challenges for them, and when they met the goals that were set, Don would do silly things as a reward. For instance, one time they met their goal, Don moved his desk to the roof and sat up there the entire day. It happened to be February and was 20 degrees below zero that day, and when they tried to bring his lunch of soup up to the roof, it froze solid before they got it to him. On a different challenge, Don ended up walking from his house in Jay all the way to Lake Placid.
Every year Don also hosted a Swing into Spring event at the school. All the kids were allowed to wear shorts and suntan lotion on the first day of spring (regardless of the weather). It was an all-around fun day that would reach its pinnacle at 1 p.m., when they would fill a little swimming pool and Don was the first person to jump in. He was always coming up with creative ways to keep the children engaged.
Don retired as the principal in 1999, but instead of that being an end, it was more of a beginning for him. He may be busier in retirement than he was working.
The first thing Don did in retirement was to begin hiking the Appalachian Trail. He hiked 1,000 miles of the trail in his first year, but he got homesick and left. Two years later, he returned to the place where he left off and finished the rest of the trail. He has also hiked other trails in retirement such as the Vermont Long Trail and the Northville-Placid Trail. Don has also become a summer 46er. (His wife Connie is a winter 46er.)
Also upon retirement, Don served as a student teacher supervisor for nine years at SUNY Plattsburgh. For a couple of summers he cooked at the Atmospheric Science Research Center on Whiteface Mountain as well.
Don and Connie have been attending Whiteface Community United Methodist Church since after they were married there (though the Jay portion has since shut down and they now go to the Wilmington church). They are co-chairs of the administrative church council there, and Don has served as the church janitor and currently runs the screens every Sunday at the church.
Don was talking with some friends prior to his retirement about things that the community needed here, and they agreed that the community could use a food pantry. So Don decided to start one in Wilmington. The Ecumenical Food Pantry is run by Don, and Whiteface United Methodist Church has provided space for him to run it. Originally it started out with space in the church basement but since has moved to the church offices. The food pantry became a part of the regional food bank and is funded entirely by donations; the church does not provide funding, only space. There are now four volunteers who help run the food pantry, and there is sometimes enough money left over for ecumenical outreach as well, for doing things such as helping people with emergency money for rent. The food pantry has been open for 20 years.
If that is not enough to keep Don busy, he also for a period of time served on the Jay planning board, still serves on the Upper Jay library board and has been a volunteer firefighter in the Jay fire department for 35 years.
Don has three daughters who all serve in the Coast Guard, perhaps having picked up on their father's serving spirit.

Safety Tips for Outdoor Hearth Products
- Always have a fire extinguisher on hand.
- Carefully read the manufacturer's installation instructions and safety guidelines for your product.
- Keep all portable hearth products away from combustible material, e.g. outdoor furniture, pool towels, side of house, shrubs, etc.
- Position your hearth product on a stable and fireproof surface, e.g. concrete or brick. Do not put a hearth product on grass, wooden deck or in an enclosed porch.
- Never leave a burning product unattended, especially around children and pets, and make sure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving.
Additional Safety Tips for Wood-burning Products
- Check your local ordinances regarding outdoor wood burning.
- Never use lighter fluid or gasoline to ignite your wood-burning product; use fire starters.
- When lighting or tending to the fire, make sure hair and clothing are away from the flame.
- Burn only dry, seasoned wood (not treated wood) and make sure the smoke is not a nuisance to your neighbor. Consider using a hearth or grill pad for spark prevention.

Allan Rock Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, it is true that the government has not announced a formal plan in relation to this matter, but there has been a great deal of action. A great deal of work has been done over the last 10 months on the subject of child support.
The government is approaching the issue based on three principles. First, that there should be guidelines or a formula provided by statute to assist the court in determining the amount to be paid for child support to relieve the parties of the expense and anguish of determining that through litigation.
Second, that the tax system should be examined to determine that it is fair to both custodial and non-custodial parents in providing the best for the children of separated families.
Third, that there is an effective national strategy for enforcing court orders once they are made.
In relation to the first matter, the federal-provincial-territorial report with respect to child support was published last January. It contains specific amounts in a proposed formula that is now under public discussion. We are learning from that discussion.
Second, in terms of tax, the Minister of Finance has been at work in that area and is completing an analysis of the options.
Finally, in enforcement, we have developed proposals that will be announced with the other two elements of the package which we believe will enhance the enforcement of support orders across Canada.
Oral Questions
The Speaker
This brings to a conclusion question period, but I have a point of order by the hon. member for Crowfoot.
Points Of Order
Oral Questions
March 31st, 1995 / noon
Jack Ramsay Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order because I believe that the Minister of Justice has contravened the sub judice conventions of this House.
In response to my question on Monday, March 27 he stated, and I quote from Hansard page 11065:
The judgment that has been referred to is under appeal because the federal government believes at first instance it was simply wrong.
He goes on to state:
We feel in good faith the judgment at first instance in Alberta was wrong. We will pursue that appeal with every confidence that we shall win it.
Furthermore, on Wednesday, March 29, the minister, in response to a question by my colleague from Yorkton-Melville, stated, and I quote from page 11193 of Hansard :
The fact is that the judgment has been appealed. We are taking the position in the Court of Appeal that the judgment was in error.
Mr. Speaker, as you know citation 505 of Beauchesne's sixth edition states:
Members are expected to refrain from discussing matters that are before the courts or tribunals which are courts of record. The purpose of this sub judice convention is to protect the parties in a case awaiting or undergoing trial and persons who stand to be affected by the outcome of a judicial inquiry. It is a voluntary restraint imposed by the House upon itself in the interest of justice and fair play.
Furthermore, citation 506(1) and 506(2) state:
(1) The sub judice convention has been applied consistently in criminal cases.
(2) The precedents in criminal cases are consistent in preventing reference to court cases before a judgment is rendered; however, the convention ceases to apply after the judgment is given. Nevertheless, the convention is applied again when an appeal is launched.
Applying the sub judice convention, the hon. minister has put on the record that the Simmerman case is under appeal and he, with respect, has commented on the case. He has stated on more than one occasion that the judgment was an error. Mr. Simmerman's interests could be negatively affected by the minister's comments.
The convention covers all members of the House. This instance, with respect, also brings the issue of undue influence or ministerial interference into play. Ministers must be even more circumspect with their comments and actions due to their positions. With issues within their sphere of responsibility, they must be even more vigilant.
Here we have the Minister of Justice not only discussing a criminal case which is before the Alberta Court of Appeal, but he also stated that the original decision of the Court of Queen's Bench was wrong.
I suggest that this is where section (2) of citation 506 has been contravened, when it states:
-the convention is applied when an appeal is launched.
This convention has come to be especially for cases like this. I think members of the House will agree that the Simmerman's interest of justice and fair play have been compromised by the statements made by the minister.
I also bring the attention of the House to citation 493 of Beauchesne, whereby members are not to make personal attacks or censure judges and courts of justice.
The Minister of Justice on numerous occasions has stated that the decision of the Alberta Queen's Bench was wrong or in error. Furthermore, I would like to bring to the attention of the House to the case, re Oulette Nos. 1 and 2, cited at 32 Criminal Cases, second edition, page 149 whereby the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs at that time was held in contempt by the Quebec Court of Appeal for making disparaging remarks about a trial judge's decisions.
Mr. Speaker, I ask that you rule on the minister's comments and if he has, in fact, contravened the sub judice convention and/or citation 493.
Points Of Order
Oral Questions
12:05 p.m.
Etobicoke Centre
Allan Rock Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I rise in response to the hon. member's point of order.
First, I take very seriously my responsibilities both here in the House and outside, to respect the jurisdiction of the court, to abide by the sub judice rule and to bear in mind that as minister of the crown, I have responsibilities quite different from those judges of the courts of the country.
I contend as well that nothing I have said here or elsewhere in relation to the Simmerman case or its principle has offended the rule against commenting on cases before the courts.
May I first observe that it is passing strange that the hon. member should first ask me about a case in the House and then raise a point of order because I commented on the case in answering his question. It was in answering the very question put by the hon. member that I am alleged to have breached the rule. I was simply responding to a question put by the hon. member, and doing so in good faith.
Second, as I mentioned the other day, when the hon. member raised this point in question period, there is a great deal of difference between on the one hand commenting on the facts of a criminal case which is in process, whether at trial or on appeal, in a fashion that might prejudice the party, the accused, by indicating what findings should be made or who committed what act-that is highly improper-and on the other hand simply observing that we take a different legal interpretation of a statute which, in fact, is what is at issue in the Simmerman case.
I have said that we regard the legal interpretation put on the Criminal Code and the relevant sections at trial as not being the correct one. In fact, the Alberta government is appealing. The appeal is expected to be heard by the Alberta Court of Appeal in about September of this year. The federal government is now considering whether it will intervene in the appeal to put its point of view before the Court of Appeal.
There is precedent for the proposition. I say there is nothing at all wrong with a minister saying that we take a different legal interpretation of a statute than that put on the statute by a court.
It follows that the interpretation relied on by the court at first instance is not in accord with our interpretation. I suggest what is an issue here is that first we must show proper deference and respect to the court and its process and second, nothing must be said or done by a minister or a member that would prejudice the rights of parties in a pending case with respect to matters of fact.
I say that neither of those principles has been offended by anything I said or did. This point of order is without foundation.
Points Of Order
Oral Questions
12:10 p.m.
Don Boudria Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wish to comment very briefly to add to what the hon. minister said.
First, in terms of the sub judice convention and citation 505 of Beauchesne's, it is obvious its purpose is to protect the parties in the case before the court. A member of Parliament has asked a question in the House to which the answer was the position the government would be taking vis-à-vis a particular case in an appeal.
It stands to reason that if the government is appealing the case, it is appealing it because it feels the original decision was in error; otherwise there would be no point in appealing a particular decision.
Second, the reference to the Oulette case is extremely inappropriate; it does not apply to this case. That particular issue had nothing to do with a comment made on the floor of the House of Commons, as the Speaker will obviously determine when he reviews the material surrounding that case.
Mr. Speaker, finally, you will recall through all cases I remember in the House of Commons where the sub judice rule has been invoked, it has been invoked and usually ruled on by the Speaker to ensure members do not ask questions in the House that are sub judice.
If there is a case to be made here, it is that the question should not have been asked as opposed to should not have been answered. Therefore, I am forced to turn the table around and to urge the Speaker that if someone is admonished, it should be in such a way as to remind the hon. members not to ask questions when the questions are sub judice.
Points Of Order
Oral Questions
12:10 p.m.
Elwin Hermanson Kindersley—Lloydminster, SK
Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring two more facts to light with regard to this point of order.
First, when the question was asked, it was asked with regard to orders in councils that had been ruled out of order by this case. The question was whether or not the Minister of Justice had the authority to continue making those decisions. It was not a reflection on the case in Alberta.
The second point I would like to make is this. The federal government did not have intervener status in the provincial court case, so the federal justice minister really had no authority to make an intervention in a case that was not under his jurisdiction.
Those are two very important points that need to be brought to your attention, Mr. Speaker.

12:10 p.m.
The Speaker
Colleagues, I am going to take all of the debate under advisement. I want the House to recognize and realize that in the case of a convention, it is under the discretion of course of the Chair to make whatever appropriate decision there is.
I would like to point out to all hon. members that the case of a convention is like an agreement, a tradition that we go by in this House of Commons.
Whenever a case has been before the courts, there has been no question there cannot be reference to that case in the House of Commons.
Most of the time this is left in the hands of the members, in their good judgment. In the case of a member asking a question he or she should take into consideration whether there is any infringement on this convention in any way.
On the other hand, when a responder is put in that position, he or she also must weigh this. Basically it comes down to members themselves.
With regard to this case, two cases have been put forth. I will look at all the interventions put forth. I am sure the House will give me the time to review precisely what was said in the original statements.
If there is need to come back, I will but I would like some time to review the whole matter again and perhaps give a little more direction to the House as to what direction we should be going in the case of a convention of the House.
If members would leave this with me, I will get back to the House at the earliest time if necessary.

USA Field Hockey Weekly Report-Week of March 9, 2013
I kept hearing about it; they kept saying that flu shots were only 61% effective so I didn't get one...so, instead I got the flu. Hence, no weekly report last week. My apologies. I will get a shot regardless next year. Getting the flu is just a huge bummer.
Much has happened over the past two weeks. Let's start with the U.S. Men's Team. That team, coached by Chris Clements, went to RIO for The FIH's World League Round 2 in late February and competed in very difficult environmental conditions (as did our women). Typically the temps were in the 51C degree range (or, 123F degrees) and that was in the shade. Our finish was difficult, however, the bright side is that Chris, with a very limited cast of athletes, is changing the paradigm with a younger group than what we have had before and they gathered valuable experience in RIO. Those in-the-know of international competition recognize that it is cut-throat and athletes really put themselves out there. It is unlike any domestic competition one will find. The intensity is incredible. Developmental specialists will tell you that it takes at least fifteen years to develop Olympic level athletes and that is our focus. So, if you are worried about the progression of our men's team......patience grasshopper......this is a long term project and our male athletes are a terrific bunch from which to build upon.. They deserve our ongoing support.
The U.S. Women's Team has also returned from RIO after qualifying for the next round of FIH tiered events. Our women were unbeaten and successfully topped the table from the RIO World League Round 2 event and now will progress onward to World League 3 later this year. Craig Parnham heads up this group. Craig is new to his role as Women's National Team head coach as he recently migrated from Great Britain and from his role as Assistant Coach for the GB Bronze medal winning team from the London Olympic Games. Our team is gradually becoming accustomed to Craig's approach and as the weeks go by we will see great excitement generated by this group.
The NIT U19s at Richmond two weekends ago featured a high level of play. 112 teams from around the country played quality competitions. The winners are posted HERE. Our Male U21 and U16 divisions brought into play 65 players, a record participation from males. We are committed to grow the game for both males and females. A high standard of play from some seasoned male internationals, who also mentored the boys, racketed up the quality of play. Some of the athletes in play were introduced to the sport via Fundamental Field Hockey. Liz Tchou, our Youth Development Manager, introduced the notion of building the male side and it is proving to be more than well received. We anticipate that this will lead to more specialized events for boys as time moves along. Lets build on this.
Last weekend it was the turn of the U16s and U14s, who made it through the qualifiers for their chance to compete in Virginia Beach, many for the first time, in a national tournament. College coaches were again in attendance, taking a look at the upcoming generation of athletes. Another wonderful tournament and we continue to see an encouraging growth in the indoor game, particularly with growing demand at the youngest age groups. Many clubs reported that they have U14 athletes who would have loved to be there, stick brands reported that even though they increased orders year on year they were sold out of indoor sticks weeks ago. We will factor this into our planning for next year. As we are committed to providing more quality places to play as we grow the game together. Winners from last weekend can be seen HERE.
It just goes without saying that our umpires are so critical to the success of our events, and over this past two weekends plus the recently completed Disney Showcase our umpires have been just wonderful. It takes literally hundreds of umpires to help in providing these events for our athletes...club owners...and friends and family. Thanks to all the umpires, the umpire managers, and Steve Horgan, USAFH's Commissioner of Umpires..
Lastly, to put what our sport really means to families who have the privilege of having a hockey player here is a story of a family's journey in our sport - I am sure many of you can relate to it. You gotta love field hockey.
Conan: "Last week horse meat was discovered in IKEA's meat balls. This morning it was discovered in IKEA's hot dogs. This is making me think twice about taking my family to dinner at a furniture store."
Have a great week!!

Buffalo Energy Expo Set for Nov. 5 with Energy-Saving Ideas for Homes
and Businesses

October 26, 2005
ALBANY—The Buffalo Energy Expo, a free event on how
to conserve energy and lower utility bills, is scheduled for Saturday,
November 5 from 10 am to 3 pm, at the Dr. Charles R. Drew Magnet School,
adjacent to the Buffalo Museum of Science in Buffalo. Learn how to
reduce energy use from professionals and vendors featuring
energy-efficient products and services. Information on low-cost
financing opportunities to install energy-saving products at your home
or business will also be available. Over 30 vendors and organizations
will be represented, with many offering free raffles of energy-efficient
products or services.
Sponsors of the Buffalo Energy Expo are: the New
York Power Authority (NYPA); New York Energy $mart, a joint initiative
of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA) and the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC); the
New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB), and National Grid.
"With higher prices predicted for heating and
electricity this year, the Buffalo Energy Expo will build on Power
Authority and its sponsoring partners' statewide efforts to encourage
energy conservation. You'll find ideas on how to prepare for the chilly
winter season using energy-efficient products and services to keep your
home and business, warm and bright, while helping to reduce your energy
bill," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer,
"Western New Yorkers know that the winter months
mean cold temperatures and high heating bills. Improving the energy
efficiency of homes and businesses is the best way to stay comfortable
and avoid high heating bills. NYSERDA is pleased to partner with NYPA
and our other sponsors in providing local homeowners and businesses with
energy-saving tips and strategies that can help lower utility costs,"
said Peter R. Smith, president, NYSERDA.
"New York State has many programs, financial
assistance and practical advice to help people prepare for price
increases that will be hitting homeowners across the country," said
Teresa A. Santiago, Chairperson and Executive Director, CPB. "Along with
the state Public Service Commission, the New York State Energy Research
and Development Authority, the Power Authority, the Consumer Protection
Board and other state agencies are working to educate New Yorkers on the
ways they can weatherize their home and reduce energy consumption."
"We are pleased to join NYPA, New York Energy Smart
and the Consumer Protection Board in sponsoring the Buffalo Energy
Expo," said William F. Edwards, president, NY Distribution, National
Grid. "This event offers residents and local businesses an opportunity
to learn more about energy efficiency that will yield savings and
provide benefits for this winter and for years to come."
The Buffalo Energy Expo will also feature
WBEN-930-AM's Domenic Cortese as he broadcasts live, his program, "The
Home Improvement Hour," from 10 am to 11 am, with several call-ins by
Coretese to WBEN from the Expo until 1pm.
Due to tight supplies of oil and natural gas, which
are used to produced over 30 percent of New York's electricity, plus
predictions of further shortages and rising energy costs resulting from
Hurricane Katrina and Rita, many homes, businesses, non-profit groups
and public facilities have been seeking information on energy
conservation efforts. The Energy Expo offers a variety of ways to
implement those efforts.
An "energy audit" is an effective way to assess the
potential savings from installing energy efficient products at your home
and business. At the Energy Expo, home performance contractors,
professionals in completing energy audits for home owners, will be
available for questions and can set-up an energy audit for your home.
Also at the Expo, small business owners can meet with experts in
performing energy audits for commercial and non-profit operations.
Vendors will have available many energy-efficient
products for lighting, heating and insulation, and much more. Companies
servicing oil and propane systems will be on hand to show ways to
improve the efficiency of that equipment. Solar energy products, and
other renewable energy sources, for home and business applications, will
also be presented.
If you are a provider or vendor of energy efficient
products or services, and are interested in exhibiting at the Expo,
please contact Andrea Phillips, New York Power Authority, at
1-914-391-5420 or
Statewide, NYPA has completed energy-efficiency
projects at over 2,200 public buildings helping save taxpayer dollars on
municipal energy bills. NYPA also assists residential and business
customers of the municipal electric systems and rural cooperatives with
energy conservation. These energy saving measures include
high-efficiency lighting, motors, heating and air conditioning, boilers,
building-shell measures, and clean energy technologies such as solar
energy projects.
NYSERDA administers, along with the PSC, the New
York Energy $mart program which is contributing to improving energy
diversity in the State by reducing electricity use through energy
efficiency, and increasing the use of renewable energy. More than 40
energy-related programs are offered under the Energy Smart program
portfolio that also provide environmental and economic benefits for the
State's residents and businesses. For more information on these
programs, please call 1-866-NYS-ERDA or visit
Weatherization projects and other energy-saving tips
provided by many different agencies can now be accessed from a single
source: the CPB's website,
www.nysconsumer.gov. The CPB is coordinating the State's efforts in
public education and outreach as part of its "Have an Energy Smart
Winter" campaign.
National Grid through the transmission and
distribution of electricity and natural gas, serves close to 4 million
customers across 29,000 square miles of Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New York and Rhode Island. Its parent company, National Grid PLC is an
international energy delivery business located in the United Kingdom
with principal activities in the regulated electricity and natural gas

Simon Cowell sits on a balcony overlooking the pool at the Beverly Hilton hotel and lights another cigarette. It's a tumultuous time for the fiery Brit, whose baby-daddy drama is dominating tabloid headlines just a month before The X Factor is set to premiere its do-or-die third season in the United States. But Cowell has rarely appeared more at ease. "I think you're really going to like it more this year," he says of his singing competition.
After last season's addition of judge Britney Spears proved to be a multimillion-dollar dud and original panelist L.A. Reid jumped ship (Demi Lovato is the only holdover from Season 2), Cowell again restructured the panel, this time focusing on experience and chemistry. Enter Kelly Rowland, a former member of Destiny's Child who worked on the U.K. version of The X Factor in 2011, and Paulina Rubio, a Latina superstar whose previous gigs include coaching the Mexican edition of The Voice. Mario Lopez will take on full hosting duties, after sharing last season with Khloe Kardashian.
The format itself is also undergoing some tweaks. Here, Cowell and his team discuss the show's new direction.

Inner Circle explains what happened first hand on the Tour Bus with the horrific accident on I 10 during their 2013 US Summer Tour
Inner Circle Show Review
Legendary Jamaican reggae band Inner Circle wrapped up their Spring Tour with an intimate show at Orlando's Social Thursday night. The staying power of these accomplished performers is a testament to their perseverance, commitment and premier musical talent. They've suffered hardships and lost key band members over their forty year history, but they still sound as good as ever and continue to impress fans everywhere they go.
Founding members and brothers Ian and Roger Lewis have been the heart of Inner Circle since their childhood and still sound great today. Roger is slowing down a bit and spends most of his time playing his guitar seated, but Ian is still a fantastic showman and is all over the stage while playing a killer bass. Bernard "Touter" Harvey is another long-time band member and a tremendous keyboard player, who stole the show this night.
The band spotlighted selections from across their vast catalog throughout the ninety minute set and also threw in some nice classic reggae covers. The band sounded fantastic all night, featuring two guitarists often trading off leads, including a few that would make any rocker proud. Ian Lewis had a constant smile plastered on his face and offered up a creative bass solo that included a playful snippet from "Billie Jean."
The setlist highlights included "We A Rockers," "Real Soldiers," "Games People Play" and a nice tribute to deceased former front man Jacob Miller. The high point of the set for the Social audience was a ten-minute extended version of "Sweat" which had the crowd dancing, immediately followed by the band's biggest hit "Bad Boys," which they stretched out to an entertaining fifteen minutes. It was a great way to wrap up a killer set.
The crowd pulled them out for an encore and after announcing that this was the last night of their tour and their last stop before home, they freelanced a bit and gave the house an unexpected treat. They offered up a few more classic covers, before all of the band members walked to the front of the stage and sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley's iconic "One Love." with a nice assist from their fans. It was the perfect way to end a great night of music from a band that's still entertaining fans across all genres.
All that being said, I need to do a little bit of whining about Orlando music fans. They're just generally too damn safe. You'll drop hundreds to see the over-rated and over-priced Eagles, but we couldn't scrape up 100 fans to spend a few bucks to see an entertaining band of this stature. That's weak – and a poor reflection on our city's music fans. Next time Inner Circle is in town, make sure you check them out, and while you're at it, check out our concert calendar and take a chance on a band you don't know well. You'll be happy you did….

Stocks Reverse Course, Drop on Worries of Fed Pullback
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. markets on Wednesday erased morning gains, falling sharply after the Federal Reserve's minutes from its latest policy-making meeting showed that some members are open to scaling back monetary stimulus by June.
The minutes came hours after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reiterated his support of current monetary policy and argued that a pull-back in quantitative easing wouldn't be a prudent move.
"A number of participants expressed willingness to adjust the flow of purchases downward as early as the June meeting if the economic information received by that time showed evidence of sufficiently strong and sustained growth," the minutes said.
The S&P 500 lost 0.83% to 1,655.35 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off by 0.52% to 15,307.56. The Nasdaq dropped 1.11% to 3,463.30.
"There's been some dissenters for a while now; I kind of took
Bernanke's comments built upon St. Louis Federal Bank President James Bullard's remarks Tuesday that quantitative easing remains the best monetary policy option right now.
"A premature tightening of monetary policy could lead interest rates to rise temporarily but would also carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery and causing inflation to fall further," he said. "Such outcomes tend to be associated with extended periods of lower, not higher, interest rates, as well as poor returns on other assets. Moreover, renewed economic weakness would pose its own risks to financial stability."

Winter 2002
Volume 6 Number 2
Threatened with Resurrection
Everyday, Silas Biglow threatens me with resurrection.
I first met Silas while rooting through heaps of books at the church rummage sale. There he was, struggling to free himself from beneath the decades-old pile of American Heritage magazines. A colonial Puritan to be sure, he seemed determined to speak. The Reverend Silas Biglow died in 1769 and was buried at Paxton, Massachusetts. What was staring back at me was his stylized image on a gravestone. Carved in careful detail, Minister Biglow stood in a pulpit adorned with tasseled antependium, vested in full preaching regalia with tabs on his collar and Bible in his hand. I liked his style; even in death, Silas Biglow kept on preaching.
Silas Biglow, or, to be more precise, the image of Silas Biglow, continues to exhort me from his perch on my office bookshelf. He is there to remind me of the witness of the church, whose voices never cease to sing. What I admire most about Pastor Biglow is that, while he is poised to orate into eternity, no words are ever spoken. His is a silent testimony to Christian testimony, that the Word of God continues to be proclaimed long after we cease to speak.
Silas Biglow's gravestone also reminds me that Christians preach the empty tomb, not the empty pulpit. God speaks, and God continually calls disciples to speak. The pulpit-whether a monumental edifice in a cathedral or a tilted music stand in a high school gym-is the symbolic center of a worshiping community that is created by, and sustained through, the Word.
Perhaps the greatest spiritual discipline I have experienced is the privilege of preaching week after week to a particular Christian community in a particular place. For some Christians, ordinary Lord's Day worship-week in and week out Sunday worship-seems too commonplace to be a bona fide spiritual discipline; too tedious to express God's astounding grace; too routine to hold God's overflowing love. However, I might suggest that Lord's Day worship is the spiritual discipline that undergirds all other spiritual practices. No matter where our spiritual disciplines lead us-to a retreat center, a spiritual director, a prayer group, or a vigil-they emerge first from what Belden Lane (writer and professor of theological studies at Saint Louis University) calls the habitus of Christian being, the regular ritual practices grounded in a particular worshiping community in a particular place. The Christian practice of meeting statu die-on a fixed day-is one of the most ancient and formative spiritual disciplines. Lord's Day worship is the "commonplace" of Christian identity, communally formed, sacramentally expressed, and necessary for all Christian spirituality. It is the day when, in poet Julia Esquivel's words, we are "threatened with resurrection."*
Perhaps, in the wake of recent national tragedies and global uncertainties, it sounds naive to claim that the discipline of Lord's Day worship can meet the spiritual demands of our time. Don't we need something-well-more powerful, more profound? Throughout history some religious communities have thought so. Facing perceived millennial and apocalyptic crises, these communities dramatically altered their liturgical life and separated themselves from world and neighbor in the name of spiritual purity. Other religious communities responded differently. They established schools and seminaries and places of worship. They actively taught their traditions, cared for neighbors, and discerned God's priorities in their current context. In doing so, these communities resisted the temptation to abandon their Christian habitus. Confident of the sustaining power of the Holy Spirit, they believed their worship to be spiritually significant and capable, even in the midst of human suffering and fear. For Christian disciples, living with the threat of resurrection is not only a spiritual discipline; it is also the means by which we sustain Christian habitus in the world.
Fulfill in us, O Lord, the joy of your salvation.
*"Threatened with Resurrection" by Julia Esquivel as found in A Liturgy Sourcebook, ed. by Gabe Huck (Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications, 1994, p. 116.)
