Taking a different path from their troubled upbringing, he cautions his big-league sibling.
By EDUARDO A. ENCINA AND CARRIE WEIMAR
Published May 27, 2007
TAMPA - Elijah Dukes' little brother has a plea.
Tyrone Evans, one year younger than the 22-year-old Devil Rays rookie outfielder, grew up side-by-side with Dukes as they overcame the hurdles of a tumultuous childhood to become successful athletes.
He's read what people are saying about his brother - calling him a monster and demanding the Rays cut ties with him. He doesn't know what to make of accusations by NiShea Gilbert, Dukes' wife, that he threatened her and showed up in a rage at her middle school job. He admits his brother made some bad choices in his young life.
But he has his own personal message to Dukes.
"You knew what it took to get to the major leagues, " said Evans, a 21-year-old rising senior and business management major at Albany State University in Georgia. "Don't mess it up now."
"You only have so many chances in life, " Evans said. "This is his chance right now. Just leave everything else alone and just focus on being a better role model."
Evans, a former Hillsborough High School basketball standout, is a starting guard on his college basketball team. He is an A student. While Dukes has a history of anger on and off the baseball field, Evans speaks softly and addresses people as "sir" and "ma'am."
They grew up in a household that preached the value of being competitive, Evans said. Each of them played baseball, football and basketball. But it didn't stop there. They battled over who could catch the most fish, or who could make the best R&B mix CD.
Evans admits his brother has trouble switching off his competitive drive and controlling his emotions.
Familiar behavior
Those emotional outbursts landed him in his current situation, accused of leaving a voice mail message on his wife's telephone that said, in part, "You dead, dawg. ... Your kids, too." Gilbert said Dukes also sent a photo of a handgun to her cell phone.
Following an April 30 confrontation at Beth Shields Middle School in Ruskin, where Gilbert works as a teacher, Dukes was escorted off school property and warned not to return or face arrest. On May 17, Gilbert was granted a protective order barring Dukes from contacting her. A hearing to extend that order is scheduled for Wednesday.
Evans said he's familiar with Dukes' fiery demeanor. His brother has a history of acting up when provoked.
"Sometimes I wish he could have my kind of attitude, you know, a laid-back competitor, " Evans said. "I just wish that sometimes he wouldn't wear his emotions on his sleeve. But that's his makeup. I guess that's why he's survived this far. He's just such an emotional person."
Dukes and Evans were born in Homestead and lived with their mother, father and three older half-siblings as well as a younger sister, Mary. Evans said his last name is different than his brother's due to a hospital mix-up. Evans is his mother's maiden name.
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew destroyed their home and forced the family into a shelter. Left with nothing, the family relocated to Tampa with an aunt, Evans said. They settled into an apartment near Copeland Park and later moved to a duplex in Sulphur Springs. The father, Elijah Dukes Sr., took a job as a truck driver.
Evans and his brother were close to their father, who took them fishing and attended their sporting events. Evans said his father took pride in his children and pushed them to succeed. So the family was rocked when he was arrested in 1995 on a murder charge. Dukes Sr. received a 20-year prison sentence for shooting a man who sold his wife $100 worth of fake crack cocaine.
Evans said he was at a loss to explain the circumstances of that incident - which he thinks is brought up too often, whenever Elijah lands in trouble. His father had no prior criminal record and he said he never saw his mother use drugs. "She never showed signs of someone who was on drugs, " he said.
An escape
Dukes' mother went on welfare, Evans said, and he and his brother turned to sports as a distraction. Even at a young age, people recognized Dukes' physical prowess.
But their home life was a different story.
One night, not long after their father's conviction, Evans said his mom, Phyllis Dukes, came home from a night out with a swollen jaw, carrying several of her teeth. He said she was punched by a friend of the man his father was convicted of killing.
"To see someone beat up your mom, it does something to your psyche, " Evans said. "Any time someone comes within striking distance you feel threatened."
He said his mother sat all of the children down and told them not to let their situation get them down. "She told us, 'You all don't have to live with anger in your hearts, ' " Evans said. " 'Don't live with fear.' "
But life wasn't easy for the family.
Evans said his older brother, Willie Evans, was shot in the arm and the leg in a drive-by shooting.
Evans said his mother would always make sure her children had a hot meal. And before school started every year, they each received a new pair of shoes and one outfit, he said. But he also remembers coming home from school and the electricity would be shut off.
"The federal help she got was only able to do so much, " Evans said. "We understood that. She would tell us not to run around so much outside or else we'd have to take a cold bath. ... We would light candles and it would be fine. She did everything she could and she would tell us all the time, 'Don't be ashamed.' "
As an escape, Dukes and Evans talked about professional athletes like Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. They dreamed of playing ball and building a better life.
"We spent countless nights crying because we wanted some of the things that other kids had, " Evans said. "(Elijah) always told me, 'Yo, T, it's gonna get better, man.' "
Evans said Elijah assumed the role of father figure in the house. He was always in the stands at Evans' basketball games. When their sister Mary was in the hospital with a pituitary tumor, Dukes was by her side whenever he wasn't playing baseball, he said.
"Since my dad's been gone, he's told me he's my daddy, " Evans said. "If I need something he tells me to call him because he's my daddy."
But just two years after his father was sent to prison, Dukes started making bad decisions, court records show. His first run-in with the law came at age 13, when he was arrested and charged with battery. He was arrested again the following year on another battery charge.
Over the next decade, he would receive more than a dozen traffic tickets and be arrested several more times, including a battery charge stemming from a fight with his older sister, Katrina Evans.
Dukes also fathered at least five children with four women between 2003 and 2006.
Evans said his brother's rap sheet doesn't tell the whole story.
"Elijah has made some mistakes, but I'm the same guy who witnesses him break down every time something goes wrong with one of his friends, " Evans said. "If anything happened, he would be there for them. And I'm the same person who, at his graduation party, witnessed him crying. He has a big heart and he's very emotional."
Evans said Elijah would push him. Even though Evans got better grades, Dukes still found a way to motivate him in school.
"He would always say, 'You go to the next grade and it's going to be harder, ' " said Evans, who was a year behind Dukes in school. "That's how he pushed me. And sometimes his way of motivating seemed like it was mean, but actually it wasn't. I look back on it now and I see what he was doing."
Dukes, who attended four high schools in four years, received a scholarship to play linebacker at N.C. State. But he decided to pursue professional baseball when the Devil Rays made him their third-round selection in the 2003 player draft. Evans received a basketball scholarship to Albany State.
But while Evans has quietly gone on to success, Dukes has drawn headlines wherever he goes for his temper - throughout his time in the minor leagues (drawing several suspensions) and now at the major league level.
"I've seen him at his low points, and this is supposed to be one of the high times in his life, but he's so emotionally charged, " Evans said. "All that he did in the past, I know he'd give anything in the world to get rid of it because that's never the person he wanted to be."
Evans said he doesn't think his brother needs help, but he needs to avoid situations where his anger could flare up. He said Dukes needs to stay close to his teammates and the Devil Rays organization, which can provide him with support and structure.
"If it means him not coming back (to Tampa) and just stay in the St. Pete area, then that's what he needs to do, " Evans said. "Right now he needs to stay away and get himself together. He just needs to chill."
Evans said he hasn't talked to his brother since the media firestorm erupted. Because of Dukes' hectic schedule, the two don't talk frequently, although Evans sends text messages.
Evans said he doesn't know what's going to happen next. But he hopes his brother is listening.
"We all had that one person we used to look up to, " Evans said. "Elijah, I used to follow his lead. ... It hurts me to see how it all turned out. It wasn't supposed to be this way."

It's not everyday that the Wyoming Highway Patrol and the NYPD get to work together, but thanks to a GPS tracking device, the two teams were able to work together to catch thieves embroiled in a major heist..
First the NYPD contact the Wyoming troopers to let them know to keep a watch out for a stolen rental car. Fortunately the rental company had installed a GPS tracking device inside of the vehicle, so the NYPD was able to determine which region the car was in, which is why they contacted the Wyoming Highway Patrol. As a result, the Wyoming Highway Patrol was able to quickly spot the car this past monday night. The suspects in the car were immediately arrested and troops managed to find $37,000 in stolen jewelry, laptop computers, iPods and digital cameras in the car.

No Record Safe at Western States - Page 3
Double Dipsea
The Double Dipsea is a chance to run the Dipsea race (see our coverage of Dipsea from earlier this month here) in Marin County, California, twice—once backwards, from Stinson Beach to downtown Mill Valley, and once in the direction of the "single" Dipsea, from Mill Valley to the beach, 7.5 miles each way.
Runners descend 688 stairs, then ascend them on the return; they will also navigate the 1300-foot Cardiac Hill and lots of wet, technical footing in the Muir Woods—all twice. And like the Dipsea, racers are given head starts, with the oldest runners receiving the largest handicap (and women receiving a head start over men in every age group).
The handicapping made no difference, though, for Alex Varner of San Rafael, California. His time of 1:36:31.3 was the fastest overall—even with handicaps factored in—even though Varner, a 26-year-old male, did not get a head start.
Varner recorded the fastest overall time at the Dipsea earlier in June, but finished fourth overall.
Fifty-five-year-old Roy Rivers of Mill Valley, California, finished second in age-graded results with the 11th fastest time overall (1:58:00) and a 20-minute handicap. Lisbet Sunshine, 48, of Larkspur, California, was the first overall female and ninth overall, with the 44th-fastest time (2:16:37) and 27-minute handicap. She was followed by 31-year-old Caitlin Smith of Oakland, California, who ran the 17th fastest time (2:04:01) and had a 14-minute handicap, good for tenth overall.
Full handicapped results can be found here.

Canon City — A lightning-caused fire burning on BLM land approximately 16 miles northwest of Walsenburg has been contained, according to a BLM fire information officer.
A three-person crew from the Royal Gorge Field Office in Canon City returned to the incident Tuesday morning and completed the remainder of a containment line that was abandoned Monday evening when thunderstorms moved into the area.
The South Greenhorn fire, which burned primarily in piñon and juniper fuels, was contained at 1/4 acre. It was burning in remote terrain, only accessible by foot, and did not threaten any structures or private lands.
The fire was first reported 1 p.m. Monday. Fire crews from Huerfano County and BLM in Cañon City responded to the incident and were able to secure 80 percent of the fire perimeter Monday evening.
There may be small amounts of smoke visible in the area this afternoon while firefighters complete mop-up operations.

I met Ken back in 1988, I was working on DFHSM and he was part of theDFDSS team that moved from San Jose, California to Tucson, Arizona.Later, Ken and I would work in the same department as architects forthe DFSMS product that included DFSMShsm and DFSMSdss components.
Ken was then offered a chance to lead the effort to launch a new productfrom an internal project called Workstation Data Save Facility (WDSF) thatwas changed to Data Facility Distributed Storage Manager (DFDSM),then renamed to ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM), and finally tothe name it has today: [IBM Tivoli Storage Manager].
Over the years, Ken's had some interesting experiences. Two examples:
- Saving the Democracy of Peru
During a hotly contested election in the Latin American country of Peru, there were technical problems with the ballot records. Management needed someone from Tucson to go, and my namewas floated around, since I spoke Spanish fluently. My schedule did not permit,so they sent Ken instead. Ken was able to recover the lost ballot information and avoid a revolution.
- Assisted with the Technical team for a Major Motion Picture
Ken was part of the IBM technical team that helped [DreamWorks SKG] producethe movie [The Prince of Egypt],a major animated motion picture. IBM is heavily involved in the digital mediacommunity, and was instrumental in helping film-makers set up theirinformation infrastructure.
Ken has been one of my best friends over the past twenty years. I introduced him to hiswife, and was the best man at his wedding. It is quality people like Ken that makeworking at IBM so special.

Lynnea's still relatively new to Texas, with just over a year clocked here, and she told me she really wanted to visit a Hell House this Halloween. Long time readers may recall that I had a terrible experience with a Hell House a couple of years ago — seven of us stood in line for about 4-5 hours, for an attraction that was generally not worth it. I didn't want to go back to THAT one.
There are no Hell Houses that I could find near Austin. There is one in Temple, TX, a place I'm unfortunately familiar with thanks to an extremely unpleasant six month software contract job (in a company where all workers are contractually obligated to adhere to "high Christian principles"). However, we're now in South Austin, and Temple is more than an hour's drive north of us.
Fate intervened though… Ben's best friend had a birthday party at his grandma's house near Temple, and we decided that the two events together were enough reason to make the trip.
We got there pretty early, soon enough to see the first group of people go in. The line this time was not five hours — it was two. We chatted up a pleasant fellow behind us, who had two kids in tow. He turned out to be an Iraq veteran who had a law degree and was going after a sociology Ph.D. He had a lot of funny things to say about being always surrounded by morons, by which I think he meant both in the army, and in Temple in general. I didn't have the nerve to ask his religious position. I did make some wisecracks about the Hell House theme, and he laughed about it but said that supernatural stuff does scare him.
We wound up going through in a group with that guy and his kids, and about fifteen high school kids, mostly African-American and fairly loud and boisterous. I'm not going to completely rehash the experience inside, which was pretty similar to the one we went to in 2008. "Demons" — kids wearing black capes and various skull masks — pranced around various scripted scenes of "sin" and death, giggling gleefully and egging the participants on. Among the highlights:
- A husband had an affair, and he and his mistress were shot in a bar by his betrayed wife. This struck me as an insanely stupid and random way for the wife to handle it, openly shooting two people in full view of half a dozen witnesses. Why not get a divorce and soak him for everything he's got, instead of getting a "go directly to jail" card and leaving the kids with neither parent?
- Our group got "kidnapped" by a black soldier with PTSD. One teenager with us, obviously a plant, was yelled at to shut up, then dragged behind a dumpster and shot. This was actually the most fun part of the experience, as we got herded into the back of a windowless van at gunpoint and driven wildly around a field, with lots of swerving. I likes me some showmanship. Despite the amateur acting, it seemed like some of the high school girls were actually fooled, as I heard many of them screaming and crying a lot. I should also mention that one of them had approached us with a worried look on her face before we went in, and asked if we had seen anyone come OUT of the Hell House. I thought that was hilarious.
- In a scene nearly identical to my last trip, a girl met a guy on the internet, agreed to meet him at his house, and got drugged and then violently raped. (Question: why drug the girl at all if you are just going to violently force yourself on her before the drug has any time to take effect? Huh? Isn't the point of the drug… oh, never mind.) Anyway, then in the next scene, she's already discovered she's pregnant, gotten an abortion, felt guilty about it, and then — with demonic encouragement, of course — she slits her wrists. The end. The moral, of course, is that she should have gone ahead and borne her rapist's baby.
- A kid gets picked on in school, and then shoots people in the cafeteria. Then himself.
- We go to hell (dark room where demons gesticulate at people in the foreground, while the Devil gives us a Hannibal Lecture about how we'll never escape). Then we go to heaven (cottony room where the torture porn scenes from Passion of the Christ play, because that's what's ALWAYS playing in heaven).
- And then we get preached at, by a woman who first apologizes for scaring us so much, then talks about how Jesus changed her life, and finally she invites us to go to the prayer room and get saved. Out of our group of twenty, only one or two went to the other room. Can we call this progress? I'm thinking that at this point, far more people attend Hell House for the camp value than to actually take the message seriously.
As you can tell if you read my previous report, not a lot changes from city to city, or from year to year. They change the themes, just barely; this year's excursion was called "Beneath the Skin," and also featured the Devil at the beginning of the tour comparing life to a game of chess, where we mortals are all pawns waiting to be captured one by one. But really, it's mostly like a well worn stand-up comedy set that gets polished a bit between performances but mostly stays the same.
To drive this point home, we watched the movie Hell House on Netflix instant queue the next night. The documentary was released in 2000, and it still looked like they could have been filming the stuff we just saw. I watched about an hour of it and it was interesting for a while, but I got bored of it as it was mostly just following the lives of a bunch of misguided evangelicals who really think their messages make sense.
Now that I've been to two Hell Houses and Lynnea's already seen it, I think I can do without any more. In any case, here are a few stray observations from our trip.
Hell House is based on something I've come to recognize as one of the most standard evangelical ploys. Basically you spend an hour shouting the message "Life sucks! Life is miserable! Everything sucks! You suck!" And then in the last five minutes, you switch to: "…Unless you have Jesus."
As a lifelong atheist, I don't identify with it. At all. But I do see the effects of this type of thinking on people all the time. You know, it's the people who ask "You're an atheist? Why go on living?" Or "You believe in NOTHING?" I know exactly where this is coming from. People listen to the message "There is absolutely nothing in this life worth living for, except for Jesus." Then, never having taken the time to look for something worth living for, they're baffled by an atheist who doesn't appear to be an emotional basket case.
If you take everything that is good in life and focus on aspects of it that are bad, then you can easily wind up with an attitude where perpetual misery is unavoidable. Take food, for instance. Most people enjoy the act of sitting down to a meal. But if you went to a church every week where they preached an anti-food message, they could probably make you hate it. They'd show you pictures of morbidly obese families. They'd show people with horrible table manners, shoveling in some kind of completely unappetizing food, like watery porridge and square colorless lumps of something. They'd describe the terrible food being prepared in the most graphical detail, with lard being dumped on a grill and grease dripping everywhere and burned bits flaking off, and pretty soon the very prospect of eating food could make you sick.
But this is unfair, because it doesn't capture the experience of a delicious steak off the grill, or a fresh salad, or the way your taste buds feel when something is just pushing the limits of how much spiciness you can handle. It doesn't mention what it's like when you haven't eaten for hours, all you can thin
k about is a good meal, and then you eat a feast of something you love until you're satisfied.
Or take sex. In the world of evangelicals, sex is a filthy, nasty, disgusting business. Until, of course, you get a priest to say a few stock phrases, and hand you a piece of paper to sign. Then it's magically transformed from an unspeakable sin to a beautiful act AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT SUBVERTING GOD'S INTENTION FOR YOU TO GET PREGNANT, YOU PERVERT.
In Hell House (not to mention the universe of horror movie rules), all mention of sex is in the context where it is shameful, or sneaky, or dangerous, or violent. People act stupidly, and are punished and probably dead at the end of it.
The Hell House's abortion sequence is a great case study. In the scene, the abortion has already happened, and the only question up in the air is what's going to be done about it. And in the scene, the demon yells at her "YOU'RE A MURDERER! YOU KILLED YOUR BABY! HA HA HA!" And the girl kills herself because she can't take it anymore. But, who told her that abortion was murder in the first place? The church, that's who. They're the ones showing tiny like slimy things in the shape of hands and feet, and telling her, "This was a person, with a soul." For someone who doesn't believe that souls exist, or that removing tissue without a fully formed brain or nervous system is the moral equivalent of being Hitler, there's no reason to kill yourself. They're trying to offer a solution to a problem they created.
In the scenes they created, there were a lot of opportunities for positive social messages. Like, for instance, "If you meet a dude on the internet, maybe your first visit should be in a well lit public place." That seems like an adequate precaution, especially given that most men aren't rapists. Or how about: "When you cheat on your wife, your lies are hurtful and the resulting bad feelings can put your family in jeopardy, which isn't good for the kids." That seems like a really sound, rational approach even without tacking on the whole "AND THEN SHE'LL SHOOT YOU AND YOU'LL GO TO HELL" angle. And perhaps: "Be nice to the other kids in school, even weird nerdy kids, because they have feelings too and maybe they're worth getting to know."
But that's not the primary interest of Hell House. The message is that this world is a cesspool, and you're not getting out alive, so you might as well prep for the next one.
And they say atheism is a negative philosophy.

Five Injured In Highway 140 Crash
Five people were injured at 1:29 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, three of them seriously, when a van and car collided with on Highway 140 at milepost 22 near the Odessa Market. This section of road is in the Lake of the Woods safety corridor.
The Oregon State Police say a van driven by Samuel Oetinger III of Central Point was hit when a Ford Tempo driven by Halie Budden of Klamath Falls turned in front of the van. Both vehicles came to an uncontrolled rest in a ditch adjacent to the highway.
Budden was transported to Providence Medical Center. Oetinger and one of his passengers, Tony Pruett of White City were taken to Sky Lakes Medical Center with minor injuries. Charles Whittington and Thomas Bocast of Central Point were also riding in the vans and they are being treated for serious injuries at Sky Lakes.
The accident remains under investigation.

Siri won't add relationships? Here's a tip.
In a recent iMore article, we were told how to let Siri know about your relationships to your contacts. That way, you could tell Siri to call your mom or wife without having to say their names*.
Unfortunately, some of us have found that Siri will not remember our contacts' relationships to us AND the contact "cards" will not allow us to work around that limitation by manually entering the information. Some suspect that this limitation applies to Exchange contacts. So, here's what I tried to resolve it:
First of all, the relationships need to be added to the phone owner's own contact card (as opposed to going to your Mom's card and saying that you are her son or daughter). If you click Edit and Add Field and aren't allowed to add the relationship that you want to,... Create a duplicate contact for yourself/the user. Be sure it is associated with an Apple or iCloud contact group. Then add the relationships as described. It should allow you to do just that, now.
Once you're done, simply scroll down to link that contact card with your existing one (so you don't have to duplicate the other information or compromise your other contact system). Now Siri will know that those two cards are for the same person (you) and that the relationships indicated on the second card also apply to the first.
Bam. Done. Enjoy.
* - I know, but it's more natural and fewer syllables.

Re: Siri won't add relationships? Here's a tip.
Many weeks before discovering this post, I did the same thing.... and it worked fine until I discovered that setting up my contacts with Google via CalDAV instead if using Exchange allowed Siri to identify me and my relationships perfectly!

Variance granted for home construction
NEW ULM – By a 2-1 vote with Commissioner Leo Wilfahrt dissenting Wednesday, the Brown County Board of Adjustment approved a variance application Wednesday from Jeffrey and Julie Menage on property overlooking the Big Cottonwood River in Burnstown Township.
The application was made to allow a reduction in the buildable area from the required minimum of 200×200 feet to 143×165 feet for the purpose of splitting an existing site into two parcels to accommodate new home construction in the A-1 Agricultural/Shoreland Protection Zoning District.
At the meeting, Jeff Menage said he bought land in 2007 and built a garage with two bays and a living area in 2008. He moved to the site and now plans to build a home in the property.
"My banker said the appraiser couldn't find comparable lots with two structures so he recommended I split the lot so the property is separate from the other site so I can secure financing. I'll have to refinance," Menage said.
He presented the board copies of protective covenants for Pleasant View First Subdivision in Burnstown Township. Covenants include no lots shall be subdivided for resale, structures cannot exceed 2 1/2 stories in height, dwelling houses must have at least 2,400 square feet of total enclosed space, 1,200 square feet of which must be living space (excluding garage space) above grade, garages attached to the dwelling and/or separate shall not exceed four stalls and any construction must be new and not made of metal.
Menage said he has no intention of subdividing lots and selling them and that the variance request was made only to secure bank financing.
"Bank rules are more stringent than they used to be," Menage said. "I've been around and around with the bank and there is no other way."
Wilfahrt recommended redrawing property lines and platting one of the two lots as not suitable for building because it would not meet the 200×200 feet requirement. He later recommended tabling the issue for a month.
Commissioner Mike Tomschin made the first motion to approve the variance with covenant guidelines. Board Chairman Tom Hirsch seconded the motion as long as Burnstown Township Board concerns were addressed.
In a Jan. 14, 2013 email from Burnstown Township Board Chairman Ken Moe to the Brown County Planning & Zoning Office, following a township meeting earlier in the evening, the zoning board was asked to consider the current lot.
"When you look at the amount of usable land in the flood plain and river bluff, this lot of 10.3 acres appears to only have three acres build-able. Dividing it as shown leaves only one-half acre that could be used for buildings on the north portion. We do not feel this is a useable size for a rural lot.
"Division of the lot as plotted may set a precedent for small lots in rural areas. Would this be a wise decision for the zoning board or township?
"The township board would not recommend this lot be divided as shown. In our opinion, it does not appear to form two usable lots."

Salvaging July 4th celebrationPosted Friday, March 11, 2011, at 11:26 AM
We've reported in the T-G that the annual Shelbyville-Bedford County July 4 celebration at Griffin Park won't be held this year due to the cost of fireworks. The decision's understandable, considering the budget problems the city, in particular, is enduring.
But wait just a minute. We still have a park.
And we'll still have people who will be buying and shooting their own fireworks. Those of us who are in and around the park each year have seen some pretty good light shows from individuals living in nearby residential areas.
What about the possibility of a mass gathering of area residents and their own fireworks in the park around, say, 8:30 p.m. or so July 4? And, as dusk turns to night, everyone sets off their own fireworks, together or in some sort of planned order?
Everyone shares their show with others, and we retain that yearly mass gathering of thousands that I think is good for us as a city and county.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
Is it possible to set up "donation" accounts at local banks for people to contribute to that would allow the purchase of the fireworks that would then be set of by a central group. It would be a lot more organized and easier to preserve safety measures.
-- Posted by wonderwhy on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 1:27 PM
Good thought. My T-G colleague John Carney wondered if corporate donations or a corporate sponsor would be possible.
-- Posted by David Melson on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 2:17 PM
Yea, and your employer would make a good one to ponder his wonderings upon.
-- Posted by Blessed Assurance on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 7:19 PM
The towns around me give out permits to set up "roadblocks", usually twice a year, to collect money for their fireworks show. They are usually run by the CoC or a fireworks committee.
-- Posted by Tyger on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 8:41 PM
If the weather proves too dry,might we have our fireworks display on the waterfront-maybe,even have literal "floats" for a riverfront picnic and parade?
A little imagination and ingenuity could find viable options for just about any situation that might cramp our style.
-- Posted by quantumcat on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 10:45 PM
I have spoken with 2 city council members and the city mayor at the last city council meeting about saving the firework show. I was waiting on the approval from the council to work with a local bank, to set up an account. I have the first $100 bill to go in it. I believe that the show is very important this year, money is very tight and alot of people simply can't afford to travel or buy fireworks, but would still love to to celebrate the the 4th. I was informed by one local employee that said the firework show was just a waste of money. I personal think that is the wrong way to look at. Not only is the 4th of July is one the most important holiday in America, it is a way to bring the citizen all together for a good family day outing. Normally people arrive at the park at 7 wait on the show and leave at 9. I say start the day at 12. Have family events, sack races, 3 legged races, open the ball fields up to anyone that want to just jump on a team and play a little ball, setup a touch football field, open the rec center for tours, and offer a one day discount on people that want buy membership. Possibly even contact some local talent, bands to play at the park showcase. We can even hopefully have volunteer police to maybe do id-kid or car seat check, and fire dept to teach fire safety. Also it would nice to see our political member out in the public showing them that they are here for the citizens, listening to them. I even said this to Mr. Wallace Cartwright, the county has a dunking booth, we could put the city mayor and the county mayor in it for a couple of hours, and take up donation for a good cause. We need to look at the day as a day to celebrate our past and look toward a better future, not as a waste of money. If you have any ideas or comments on this you can email me at email@example.com . I will try to respond to all that contacts me.

Brings up memories of a simpler time. I can recall getting up early on July 4th and heading out over the hill to pick blackberries. Ater getting back to the house and bathing [had to look for ticks and chigers of course], we would head out to the old community school-house for sack races, tobacco-spitting, hog-calling,wheelbarrel races, lots of good food[home-made pies,cakes and the fish fried in old kettle] LOTS OF FUN finished off with fireworks.
Mr molder has a great idea. A time for healing and looking ahead with fresh vitality and civility for each other.
-- Posted by ckna910 on Sat, Mar 12, 2011, at 10:08 AM
Mr. Molder does propose an excellent idea! A project well worth the undertaking with no political agenda attached. My wife and I would donate.
-- Posted by Tim Lokey on Sat, Mar 12, 2011, at 11:57 AM
The 4th will be on a monday, so people will have a long weekend. What about it Jaycees, Big Brothers and other civic clubs. Great opportunity here, could become an annual event. Maybe the youth clubs could come up with a run/walk or something. Maybe a liar's contest LOL.
-- Posted by chas29 on Sat, Mar 12, 2011, at 1:17 PM
We could have a health fair,civic club recruitments and,perhaps,some history/patriotism/civics-oriented events.
I wonder how many "home-grown Americans" can rattle off the facts newcomers have to learn for citizenship tests.
One of the nightime events could be a screening of a patriotic movie like '1776'.
Some of our local performers could do readings,songs,a play,etc.
We could discover just what makes our country and
one another unique and challenging.

Thank you Mr. Molder for all your interest in our recent City government and its problems. I applaud you for doing something I think no one on our City Council or City Government has thought about doing. . . investigating existing problems and trying to apply new methods to inject life and energy to a downward spiraling budget. How many of our elected officials have taken three hours out of their day to inspect, evaluate and pour over the building and finances of the Recreation Center? How many of them are aware of the impending expenditures that will be needed in the near future for repairs and upkeep of an aging building. How many know that we are basically "giving away" the programs being offered. If you break down the amount being paid per year for a family to use the facility by the number of days a year it is being used, do they realize the city is not only providing a facility and a means for recreation, but the expense of the programs is also being born by the City. It is a nice facility, yes, but overuse and lack of upkeep has it looking dirty and run-down. Having a facicilty like ours is a luxury and a privilege, not a necessity. There are for-profit businesses that offer many of the same services, and you can be assured people are paying well for those services. I do not think we should be in competition with private business, but I do think we should evaluate our fees and adjust them to help offset and cover the salary and wages of personnel, and also the daily operational expenses of this facility. Everyone may cry out that they want this facility, but let's see if they are willing to put their money where their mouth is. I also appreciate Mr. Molder's willingness to speerhead a July 4th Celebration. When times are hard, and people are living in financially depressed times, we need to rely on each other, to come together in a concerted effort to offer fun and recreation and a reason to live and celebrate! Thank you Mr. Molder for reminding us of the Spirit that America was founded on! What better time to remember this than our Country's Declaration of Independance. We need to make this a celebration of "INTER-dependance". We have seen enough dirty politics, backstabbing, division, and governmental incompency to do for a while. Let's try a different approach by pulling together, working together to find better solutons that will benefit the entire city and not just a select few. Let's rely on the capable, the willing and those whose generosity will share resources that the City is lacking. We may be amazed with the right attitude and leadership to see just how much people are willing to do to make our city a better place for our citizens.
-- Posted by writeattitude on Tue, Mar 15, 2011, at 9:54 AM
We have to remember it is the city and county together that was told to cut spending.We always complain about things that effect us and want to cut things that don't. Molder has the right idea, instead of sitting home complaining, he has a plan to do something rather than just talk! The community needs to always be involved instead we want others to do it and we complain. I guess it is the American way.

It's sad to think all people see is the all mighty dollar, what happened to tradition and family values. I don't think something I've done with my family every year is a waste of money. This is A TRUE HOMETOWN TRADITION. My son will be leaving in a few days to be deployed in Japan with the U.S.M.C. He won't be here for the 4th of July and there will be no pictures or stories to tell him about. It's very sad. I have always looked at the 4th of July at the park as a safe place for a community to come together and celebrate America and the freedom to be able to be as one for those few moments when those beautiful flashes light up the sky.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
This show discusses iPhone and related topics. The hosts discuss news and rumors floating on the Web. One thing to note is that they reported something that a professional reported as false. The hosts are low-key and not very energetic; almost monotone. They seem somewhat hesitant and a little unprepared for the show. They record in stereo so that each one host comes from the left speaker and the other from the right. The audio itself is fairly decent with some minor issues.
This podcast deals with anything found in history. The host does not appear to be very knowledgeable on the topics covered in the show. One review states that he reported inaccuracies. He also continually mispronounces words. Sources are cited, but most of the time it seems that he is reading them directly. The audio is decent, but the presentation needs some work. The host is very monotone, and it sounds like he is reading the entire time.
Lullabot's team offers education, architecture, and guidance through public and private training and consulting. Lullabot is a podcast that demonstrates the difficult in rating a show. The podcast is more informative vs. having entertainment value. The hosts and their guest are knowledgably in their understanding of Drupul. The audio quality and levels for each person were consistent and well normalized. Where Lullabot gets points off is in the category of "Presentation and Delivery". The show does not employ any type of audio transitions or bumpers to help break the show into more manageable pieces. This made the podcast drag at times.

The City of Lake Oswego Emergency Management Program is responsible for planning, preparing, and providing for the prevention, mitigation and management of emergencies or disasters that present a threat to the lives and property of citizens of Lake Oswego. This includes coordinating and facilitating emergency planning, preparedness, response, and recovery activities.
CodeRED, the City's emergency notification system provides City officials the ability to quickly deliver emergency notification messages via telephone, email, and text message citywide at a rate of 1,000 calls per minute.
A disaster or emergency can happen at any time. Taking these simple steps can make a big difference in ensuring your safety and well-being and that of your loved ones.
Disasters disrupt thousands of lives every year. Each disaster has lasting effects, both to people and property.
If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well. Local responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus their efforts elsewhere.
How quickly your company can get back to business after a fire, flood, a pandemic flu or other emergency often depends on emergency planning done today.
Animal owners have primary responsibility for the safety and welfare of their animals during emergencies.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone represents the single largest hazard to the people and built environment of Oregon. Earthquakes on the Cascadia Subduction Zone can be over 9.0 magnitude and have a region-wide impact.
Check out these presentations and guides to better understand this hazard and prepare and protect your family, home and business.
In recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, generally 10 degrees or more above average, often combined with excessive humidity. These conditions can be dangerous and even life-threatening for humans who don't take the proper precautions.
Is your vehicle in top shape for a long summertime road trip?
Travel might be on your agenda over the next few months, whether it's skiing at Mt. Bachelor or heading to grandma's house for the holidays. Arrive safely at your destination by following these recommendations:
When an emergency or disaster occurs, you may experience power outages, natural gas leaks, water line breaks, downed trees, or sewer back-ups. Know who to call when you need assistance.
Everyone faces the risk of natural disaster and no plan to protect property can be complete without insurance coverage against potential damage and loss. It is important to know exactly what coverage you may need and what coverage is available to protect your property against all of the natural hazards it may be exposed to so that you are not underinsured or not insured at all.

Facilitated and supported by the Lake Oswego Fire Department, the formation of the volunteer radio operators group provides the City a backup communication system.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, using the model created by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, began promoting nationwide use of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept in 1994. Since then, CERT's have been established in hundreds of communities.
Active shooter or threat situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly.
Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with the situation.

We have covered a few recipes for sweet corn so far this season but I still think there is room for more.
First, I am going to repeat the directions for fire roasting an ear of corn. To fire roast the corn you need a gas cook top, electric just will not do. Remove the entire husk and as much of the corn silk as possible. Turn one of your gas burners to high and place a couple of ears of corn over the flame long enough to slightly blacken the edges of the kernels. When one section of the ear is roasted turn it with a pair of tongs and fire roast the next section until the whole ear is just a little blackened. Set aside to cool.
Now that we have that out of the way let's look at the recipe. This time it's fire roasted sweetcorn soup. Let's get right to the recipe and afterwards I can give you some options.
Serves 6
6 ears. sweet corn, 2 of them fire roasted
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 new potato, about 4oz, cleaned and chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 med. onion, medium dice
1 Stalk celery, chopped
1 stick. carrot, chopped
2 tsp. dried oregano
4 cups chicken stock
salt and black pepper to taste
1 lime, juiced
sprigs of fresh cilantro for garnish
Cut kernels off of all the corn keeping the fire roasted separate.
In large sauce pan heat the oil and sauté the onion, celery and carrot for about 7 to 9
minutes, stirring. Add the garlic for the last minute only.
Add the stock, potato, unroasted corn kernels and oregano. Bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
Transfer portions of soup to food processor or blender and puree.
Return to pot and stir in the fire roasted corn kernels and lime juice. If soup is too thick add a little more stock at this time. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with a sprig of fresh cilantro.
Optional ingredients: leeks instead of onions, use a dollop of sour cream along with the fresh cilantro for garnish,

Computer-assisted module for nursing students provides similar improvements in handwashing knowledge and may improve handwashing practice compared with face-to-face teaching
- 1Kingston University, London, UK
- 2St George's, University of London, Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences London, UK
- Correspondence to Mary Chambers
6th Floor Hunter Wing, St George's, University of London, Cranmer Terrace, London SW17 0RE, UK; m.chambers{at}sgul.kingston.ac.uk
This paper addresses two key components of nurse education: the acquisition of clinical skills, and the use of computer-assisted learning (CAL). Also emphasised is the importance of clinical-skills acquisition in nursing, with particular reference to handwashing. It states how high levels of competency in hand washing are essential to ensure patient safety and prevent hospital acquired infections. The second important element addressed is the potential use of CAL in the teaching of clinical skills in nursing with particular reference to both the theory and skills of handwashing. Additionally, the paper refers to the lack of empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of CAL in the teaching and learning of nursing skills. What is reported in the paper adds to the limited body of knowledge in this area.
CAL versus traditional approaches
Traditionally, a considerable proportion of clinical-skills acquisition took place in the clinical environment through 'sitting …

Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ron MacDonald Dartmouth, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am sure all members of this House were shocked and saddened to see reports of the carnage in Sarajevo on Saturday.
Once again the shortcomings of the UN position have been seen. Despite the best of intentions lack of a coherent direction is costing lives daily.
Warring factions continue to thumb their noses at the international community while we continue to issue condemnations and pass UN resolutions which we simply are not prepared to enforce, except for the one ensuring that the Bosnian government cannot acquire the means necessary to defend itself.
I implore our government while ensuring the safety of our troops on the ground to urge the UN to take whatever actions are necessary to stop this genocide. As one citizen of Sarajevo said on the weekend: "This was not the Chetniks that did this, it was the world. This is the world's responsibility".
Social And Co-Operative Housing
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michel Guimond Beauport—Montmorency—Orléans, QC
Mr. Speaker, the unilateral cuts to social and co-operative housing that were applied in the last Conservative budgets had very severe repercussions.
In Quebec City and particularly in the lower town, housing needs are great. Today at least 1,200 households are on waiting lists to get low cost housing in the area and 600 more are looking for co-operative housing.
Quebec City wants the CMHC to be given enough funds to reactivate the Canada-Quebec agreement on social housing.
It is time for the Liberal government to act and the Minister of Finance should take these problems into account in his upcoming budget.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jake Hoeppner Lisgar—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to inform members that the latest unemployment figures for Manitoba increased by almost 2 per cent in the previous quarter.
Farmers in Lisgar-Marquette have suffered through a summer of extreme weather, crop disease and now a strike by Vancouver dock workers.
With 1.5 million workers unemployed, a rejection of a $2.12 an hour wage increase over a three-year contract is not only shameful but devastating to other workers and businesses who have consented to a wage freeze or wage cut.
The failure of this government to deal with smugglers, unemployment and labour disputes is putting any economic recovery in jeopardy.
The Minister for Human Resources Development is becoming the minister of human misery. I urge the government to wake up and take actions to solve problems rather than to contribute to them.
Statements By Members
February 7th, 1994 / 2:10 p.m.
David Berger Saint-Henri—Westmount, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Friday a mortar shell landed in a crowded market in Sarajevo killing 68 persons and injuring 197. This is the largest number of persons killed in a single attack since the beginning of the war in Bosnia. I am sure all members join me in condemning this massacre of innocent civilians whose victims included Muslims, Croats and Serbs.
The impulse is to lash out or strike back but as British foreign secretary Douglas Hurd warned, a retaliatory air strike may simply yield one day of satisfaction followed not by the lifting of the siege, but by its intensification.
In order to put an end to the fighting both the United States and Russia must become more actively involved. The United States has criticized various peace plans and has proposed actions which many believe would intensify the war. The United States must show more leadership if we hope to bring an end to this bloody war which has dragged on far too long.
Cn Rail
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Murray Calder Wellington—Grey—Dufferin—Simcoe, ON
There is a 33-mile rail line in my riding between Collingwood and Barrie. CNR is considering closing this line in the very near future.
The impact on the environment and the tourism industry in this area would be horrendous. Hundreds of trucks full of grain corn supplying two very successful companies in Collingwood would make the highways in this area impassable and very dangerous to the tourist industry.
I feel it is imperative that CNR reconsider its decision of closure of this essential rail line.
Cigarette Taxes
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Audrey McLaughlin Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, it appears this government is going to cave in to the law breakers by lowering taxes on cigarettes.
Tobacco, I might point out to this House, is the only legal consumer product that kills when used exactly as intended. It costs the Canadian taxpayer an estimated $15 billion in indirect and direct health care costs.
The revenue minister says cost does not affect the use of tobacco. I wonder what the minister is smoking. In 1992 Statistics Canada indicated: "Affordability is to date the most significant factor in the reduction of tobacco use in Canada. Regular smoking among Canadian teenagers has plummeted as taxes drove prices up higher".
How about getting from the Minister of Health a real commitment to the health of Canadians. Stop the smoke-screen. The Minister of Health should come clean and cough up: Does she or does she not support lowering taxes on cigarettes?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Prime Minister.
Saturday, another barbaric act was committed in Sarajevo, where a mortar shell that hit the central market killed 68 people and wounded over 200. Following this tragedy, UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali asked NATO for authority to proceed with airstrikes against the Serbian artillery positions which hold Sarajevo under siege.
I want to ask the Prime Minister whether he could indicate the Canadian government's official position on this request from the UN Secretary-General which favours airstrikes to free Sarajevo.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, like everybody else we are very unhappy with the unacceptable and barbarous act committed in Sarajevo over the weekend.
At this moment we are consulting with our allies on this problem. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has been in discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Christopher and the foreign ministers of England and France. Discussions are going on at this time.
The situation is very, very bad. We will see in the next few days what the best action is that we can take. Of course, Canadians have the particular situation that our troops are located in Srebrenica and we have to consider that.
We will be consulting with our allies. We hope that we will find a way to have peace in that part of the world because what is going on at this time is completely unacceptable.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, an emergency NATO meeting on the matter was scheduled today, at the request of France and Belgium. What position did the Prime Minister instruct his representatives to take on behalf of Canada at this meeting?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I do not think we can make a final decision at this time. I believe that the people who are meeting at this very moment want to analyse the situation and try to propose an action plan. The Canadian officers present are to report to us on the nature of these discussions, and we will see what their decision should be.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Prime Minister whether he can promise that his government will not approve airstrikes without guarantees for the safety of Canadian peacekeepers in Bosnia.
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, at this very moment people are discussing the use of airstrikes to prevent the so-called strangulation of Sarajevo, and there is no direct connection with the position of Canadian soldiers who are now located in another part of Bosnia.
We have to weigh the pros and cons, and our position is still the same. In Brussels we said that airstrikes could only be used in self-defence, which is not the case in the Srebrenica area at this time. In the case of Sarajevo, the governments concerned are now analysing the situation.
Cigarette Smuggling
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Roberval, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Saturday edition of The Gazette reported that the chief of the Kahnawake reserve, Mr. Joe Norton, claimed to have received assurances from the RCMP that it was not planning to enter the reserve to fight cigarette smuggling and that moreover, the RCMP considered Akwesasne, Kahnawake and Kanesatake to be special cases.
Can the Prime Minister tell us clearly and unequivocally whether or not the RCMP gave such assurances to Chief Norton?
Cigarette Smuggling
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I think the RCMP officer who spoke last Friday evening on television stated his case very clearly. We have said clearly to everyone that the rule of law applies everywhere in Canada, without exception.
Cigarette Smuggling
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Roberval, QC
In that case, Mr. Speaker, and to dispel any doubt or confusion people may have, including the inhabitants of these native reserves, could the Prime Minister agree to a request to meet with Mohawk chiefs and make it clear to them that he intends to ensure that the rule of law is applied everywhere in Canada?

Amy Shelton with the tools of her work. (photo: Will Kirk/Johns Hopkins)
Psychologists who study learning and memory have a special interest in how people navigate reality in a three-dimensional world. There is a huge variation in abilities for spatial learning among adults, and some of these skills don't even appear until adolescence. How you interact with other people has a lot to do with how well you are able to literally take their perspective.
Johns Hopkins scientist Amy Shelton has found that strong social skills may be an important factor in your spatial skills. That is, people who are very good at taking on the visual perspective of another person also test well on social abilities. And these abilities only appear when the participant is asked to take the perspective of a person — not that of an object.
The paper's authors suggest this ability to take another perspective is important because it requires Theory of Mind, something that is often found lacking in persons on the autism spectrum. Simon Baron-Cohen describes Theory of Mind as "being able to infer the full range of mental states (beliefs, desires, intentions, imagination, emotions, etc.) that cause action. In brief, having a theory of mind is to be able to reflect on the contents of one's own and other's minds." Of course the author notes that there are a number of factors that influence social ability like "interest, comfort, and savvy in social situations."
For this experiment, researchers focused on the question of perspective. They asked participants to describe the perspective of different objects placed near 22 Lego buildings. The variable that changed: one of the objects was person-like, a faceless doll, and the other two were not (a toy camera, colored plastic triangles). Participants were asked which figure had the view of the building displayed on the computer screen and tried to match them.

What they found was that one group of participants were much better at correctly identifying the views from the perspective of the faceless doll only. This group also scored low on "the Autism Quotient," a questionnaire designed to assess the degree to which adults of normal intelligence show five different traits associated with autism spectrum disorders: social skill (higher score = poorer social skills), perseveration (higher score = more difficulty shifting attention), attention to detail (higher score = greater focus on details), communication (higher score = poorer communication), imagination (higher score = less imaginative)."
Amy Shelton says there are some interesting implications for thinking about empathy and viewpoints of an "other":
"Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this research is that it emphasizes a 'whole person' approach. We tend to think of ourselves as being either 'good' or 'bad' at certain skills, but these results suggest that different skills really do interact and have an impact on each other. For instance, I might be good at giving directions to another person because I have good spatial skills, but I might be even better at it if I can also empathize or embody the other person's perspective."
