Skip to comments.Skeeter President: Mock on, Americans
Posted on 02/10/2013 11:35:06 AM PST by jazusamo
Petty rulers do not appreciate ridicule.
In his memoir Fear No Evil, Jewish Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky recounts the mind games the KGB played with him as they tried to entrap him in confessions of treason. What allowed Sharansky to survive was his ability to anticipate their moves in a game that began with transparent lies from his government, ones he recognized from kindergarten.
This month, as evidenced by the release of a photo supposedly showing the president engaged in skeet-shooting, we have similar mind games being played by the Obama administration and with all the sophistication of junior high school intrigues.
Sycophantic media, like the Daily Beast, theWashington Post, and New York Magazine, called mockers of President Obamas skeet-shooting photo conspiracy nuts.
They seemed to be following orders, specifically a taunting tweet from David Plouffe on Saturday, February 2: Attn skeet birthers. Make our day Let the photoshop conspiracies begin! A few minutes later, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer tweeted, For all the skeeters: POTUS shoots clay target on the range at Camp David.
Both tweets linked to the official photo accompanied by the warning: This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
Amazingly, Chris Cillizza and Aaron Black at the Washington Post excused such preemptive pettiness as a necessity in todays age of social media and claimed: While Obama and his inner circle pride themselves on their lack of drama and their tendency not to overreact to the political winds that buffet Washington they have repeatedly shown a keen awareness of and concern for issues that would have likely been considered beneath most past administrations.
But both ringmasters, Plouffe and Pfeiffer, were off the mark in conjuring up reactions from right-wingers. Most of the comments did not question whether the photo was a fake. Rather, experienced skeet-shooters questioned Obamas claim in the New Republic about doing this all the time. They critiqued the positioning of the shotgun, the level aim, and compared his amateurish stance to that when he threw out the first pitch at the World Series dressed in mom jeans. Obama did not take up Congresswoman Marsha Blackburns challenge to a skeet shoot.
These Americans also defied the orders against altering the photo, to the delight of my immigrant heart. I happened to be reading Sharansky that day and recalled a trip back to Marshall Titos Yugoslavia as a kid, when my father asked my uncles in a very low tone about the government was there any more freedom than before we had emigrated? They evaded the question.
My international students tell me that mocking their leader can land them in jail. I had become discouraged watching fellow Americans meekly subject themselves to body searches for the privilege of boarding a plane. And I dread visits to a doctors office in the future when I am likely to be given the quality of care that Ive come to expect at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
But on this occasion, a veritable artistic renaissance of American ingenuity sprang up on my Facebook page. Using Photoshop, red-blooded Americans who are insulted by Obamas attempts to infringe on their First and Second Amendment rights put Obama in series of poses that gave the lie to the official image of manliness. Obama was given a pair of shapely female legs in hot pants, in pastel patterned underwear, and a bright pink tutu. He was shown in the Beverly Hillbillies truck with a shotgun. He was shown with Elmer Fudd. His shotgun was made into a Nerf gun. He was shown shooting the Constitution, straight ahead and not high in the air as one would with skeet shooting (as Ive learned).
There is still a segment of the American population that will not comply with the kind of order that is demanded by petty dictators who are incapable of commanding respect in other ways.
Obama, the quintessential metrosexual, has been as careful as Vladimir Putin to project an image of command, from the jaunty run on the steps of Air Force One, to the overly crisp military salute, to the affected steely gaze, to the decisive end to sentences (skewered on Saturday Night Live). He began his campaign with Roman columns, after all.
Of course, Obama has complicit media like the above-mentioned outlets, as well as the New York Times, which did an extensive pre-election profile about how Obama personally selects the targets for drone attacks. This comes after campaigning on the fact that he had killed Osama bin Laden.
And then there was the false machismo when he came to Susan Rices aid on the Benghazi lies.
Obama had a truth team a concept that appeals to the ignorant and largely illiterate masses of graduates from government schools who have never read Orwell or heard about dissidents. And in all seriousness, an MSNBC host claimed that the boorish president was due deference from his opponent Mitt Romney during the debates.
So where will we go from here? Will we succumb?
Or will we borrow strategies from those who lived under communist regimes (like Oleg Atbashian at the Peoples Cube)? Will we continue the proud tradition of mocking those who most deserve it, such as those who use their henchmen to mock the American people?
In these times, the thought occurs that the federal government is tracking all those who post and re-post altered photos of the president. Certainly, through his executive orders along with a cowed Republican party, he has chipped away at Americans Constitutional rights and ignored his oath to uphold the law (as in the Defense of Marriage Act, border security, etc.). With most of the Republican representatives and senators capitulating, perhaps we have only one known weapon left, as did those living under the Soviet regime: humor.
Immigrants from former communist countries were shocked and dismayed by the election of Barack Obama. Now with this unprecedented warning accompanying the release of photos, we see his strategy going one step further a preemptive attempt to silence his enemies.
Will we allow him? We are at a crossroads. Such photo-op releases like those of Russian President Vladimir Putin bare-chested outdoors on horseback with strategically timed taunts and warnings, as well as claims to having a truth team, are signs of desperation.
The way to expose this desperation is through mockery. After all, the White House began in typical fashion with a preemptive mocking of Americans.
Our strategy seems to have worked. The sophisticates at the Washington Post and Daily Beast only knew Plouffe and Pfeiffers story, and they were sticking to it. There has been no statement from a White House truth team regarding the veracity of the president going skeet-shooting in a pink tutu.
MOCK ON is most appropriate.
Shortly following the '14 election, we will begin to hear from the Obama MSM why the 22nd Amendment does not apply any longer. See...the nation needs a third and then a fourth Obama term.
Any problem with that? You could receive an email from the IRS about your taxes.
By that point, you could receive a visit from the Truth Team itself, asking you why you still haven't changed your mind, why you're still holding onto the antiquated concepts in the Constitution, and your knowledge levels of hollywood.
All of this may or may not happen at the barrel of a gun at 1 am.
That's already happened, frankly.
"Friends, Romaine Lettuce, countrymen, lend me your eyes;
I come here not to praise Obama, but to mock him.
The evil that men do live on after them;
And this jackass has left a trail of crap behind him that's gonna stink for centuries."
One thing that sets the current W.H. occupant from the others even Bill Clinton was when BHO was campaigning in 2008, some Missouri authorities were threatening charges on those to talked smack about Zero. Narcissism should be a big dis-qualifier for any type of leadership position whether it is POTUS or even a company manager or lead person.
Stories on Obama skeet shooting remind me of the delusional stories of Kim Jong Il bowling perfect games and getting 5 Holes in 1 dueing his first time playing golf, and who can forget Mao setting a world swimming record when in his 60's swimming the Yangtze river. Castro as a world class baseball player when in his 50's and the like.
What is it about left wing tyrants that causes this sort of preening?
Clearly Obama overcompensates to hide his true sexuality - homosexual.
I'll have to see if I can find this one.
And someone needs to ridcule his whistled s's.
Clearly Obama overcompensates to hide his true sexuality - homosexual.
I sure don't know but I suspect they were all narcissists, some of Obama's facial expressions are so much like Mussolini's were.
I kept thinking of the website .. http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ ..when I was reading this.
Princess Oahu Obama ...
LOL! That's a hoot.
I would imagine that anyone who visits FR is at least a suspect...and regular posters like yourself, or me, are high on the list of those to be arrested first.
I suppose that's a possibility but I know for sure that won't stop either of us, FRiend.
I had not seen that one, smooth. That's hilarious.-
Good article, jaz. I noticed when the photo was first released, with the admonition that noone was allowed to modify it, folks were a little cowed. Once someone posted a photoshopped picture, more came along.....there's safety in numbers. What is discouraging is that so many on the right are frightened by obama et al.
Whistled s's? I hadn't noticed, refusing as I do ever to watch Obama on TV. Can someone photoshop Obama's face onto Mr. Herbert from Family Guy, or vice versa? It would be the best laugh I've had for some time.
I'm sure you recall that the screeching left-wingers at DU, MoveOn.org, and MSNBC (no real difference between the three) constantly ridiculed Bush for eight years.
As Obama's ideological father Saul Alinsky said, ridicule is the most potent weapon in any political arsenal.
Bring on the Photoshops.
Where in blazes did the Nancy Boy from Nairobi get the idea that the purpose of the Second Amendment of The US Constitution [did you catch that Barry, you pencil-necked poofter?] was to prevent the us government from grabbing firearms used for skeet, traps, sporting clays? Holy Mackerel!!!!
0bozo used to go skeetering at Man's Country with Rahm "tiny dancer" Emmanuel when they were both members back in Chicago.
This is one of the best, if not the best, overlay I have seen/read about Obama and his cabal of media and government syncopates. I was reading another similar take on his 'skeet' and in my rushed mind I thought the writer was talking about 'scat'.
Cowed...don't recall that here on FreeRepublic...more like let the games begin...in earnest. :-)
Oh Lord the whistled 's'. Yes, it is Gawd awful. Can not listen to him speak.
I will stand and salute you both as you are marched off to the gulag. :-)
Pineapple Princess...lolololol.
hesitant would have been a better choice of words. Yes, eventually people just went about their business of ridicule, as they should.
I cannot stand to hear him speak, either, nor to watch him on tv. I think it is the Holy Spirit in me responding to the other in him.
You must mean me.
No, not you, bhfred. lol, another good one.
You have to admit, some if the pics were pretty dang funny. :-)
Right...I just see a skinny legged, pencil necked, no nothing, narcissistic sissy man boy.
Yikes! Refried pinto bean burritos heavy with serrano chile salsa will do that every time:)
poor turtle...
I know why they had her perform in the "Superdome". And you have to admit. That is a tough act to follow (unless you're NORAD) , especially when the afterburner kicks in.
Not me brother...
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Actually it's sister...but I'm right there with ya.
Heh heh... obviously in the tank for Obama...

Report: Russian club offers Alexander Burmistrov a contract to play in the KHL
Jonathan Willis
April 30 2012 03:12PM
It appears that another club is vying for the services of Alexander Burmistrov. Ak-Bars Kazan, the KHL team that developed Burmistrov back in Russia, has reportedly offered the Winnipeg Jets forward a contract.
Here, in part, is the report from the Edmonton Journal's Peter Adler:
Shamil Khusnutdinov, the club's director, is confirming that Kazan has also offered a contract to Alexander Burmistrov of the Winnipeg Jets… Khusnutdinov would not reveal any more details other than the club's representatives have already talked to Burmistrov who is now in training with Team Russia for the world championships.
Burmistrov played one game for Ak Bars Kazan back in 2008-09, before making the jump to the Ontario Hockey League, but he played for Kazan's youth clubs as a teenager.
Undoubtedly, Ak Bars Kazan can trump Burmistrov's current contract – he makes just $1.5 million including bonuses, with a lower base salary as an entry-level player – but this doesn't seem likely to go through. The NHL and KHL do not have a transfer agreement, but they do have a memorandum of understanding that should prevent either side from signing players with a contract in the other league.
Burmistrov's agent, Mark Gandler, says the report is without substance:
"Nobody talked to me. The guy is under contract. End of discussion."
April 30 2012, 03:29PM
I'm glad you posted this, JW, since people other than you were citing the report on Twitter, and I'm also glad you've correctly included Gandler's direct denial. That noted, for the love of all that's holy, is there any chance we can generally agree to quit treating anything from Peter Adler as worthwhile?
I have no idea who this person is when he isn't at home, but virtually everything of his I've read has left me wondering how on earth he ever obtained a soapbox at the Journal. His columns around the time of the Thrashers' relocation were particularly obtuse, since he made it through two of them without even realizing who Mark Chipman was.
So add one more example to cite for those wanting the Oilers to trade their pick or draft a non-Russian player.
The memorandum of understanding regarding respecting players under contract in another league is interesting. I hadn't heard of there being any developments in the NHL/KHL negotiations.
I have to wonder, though, with the culture of some of the ownership groups in the KHL, whether they would fully respect Medvedev's negotiated agreements. Just as there are some GMs in the NHL who wield an unequale share of influence, I suspect that same occurs in the KHL.

Welcome To Winnipeg: Land of Waiver Wire Pickups and....Arbitration?
Travis Hrubeniuk
July 10 2013 09:33PM
The summer of fun continues. Today the news broke that restricted free agents Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Zach Bogosian, Paul Postma and Eric Tangradi have all filed for arbitration, and I'm not very happy about it.
Now let me clarify. I have no problem with the dollar value that will likely come out of this. Luckily enough, outside of Blake Wheeler not many of these guys have the basic stats or largely compelling arguments needed to put a case forward in order to obtain big payouts. In fact short term, this is probably a good thing for the Jets.
But wait. Aren't we all supposed to be buying into the "five year plan" right now? I thought everything Kevin Cheveldayoff and company have been doing was supposed to be a master plan for this team to win in the future? Because letting this happen really does not fit into that plan.
Let me explain. The maximum term that an arbitrator can award to a player/team is two years. That means that unless the Jets can manage to sign these players to contracts before the hearings begin, every player who is awarded a contract will become an unrestricted free agent in two years. Being seemingly unable to lock up major pieces such as Wheeler, Little, and Bogosian long term really does not seem like a path to a successful long term plan to me. Especially when you consider the fact that we just watched a developing 21 year old forward walk away to the KHL.
Maybe I'm being pessimistic. It's possible that things will be all right. The arbitrator could award a fair deal for both sides, Chevy can continue to negotiate, and extensions could be signed before the two year deals are completed. Then again, arbitration hearings are not known to be the best place for "relationship building". While each player will provide their case for more money, the Jets must enter the room prepared to list off every reason as to why they feel each player doesn't deserve as much money.
Imagine. You walk into a meeting with your boss and explain every reason why you feel you deserve a raise. What do you get in return? A list of reasons as to why you aren't good enough. Sounds like a great plan for a city that already has trouble attracting free agents doesn't it?
Now I'm not trying to say that the Jets should hand out whatever amount of money every player wants. I am fully aware of the financial situation around this team, and that spending to the cap every year is no way for the team to remain profitable. The fact of the matter is, at some point you need to show your players that you want them around and that they can be rewarded. If players like Bogosian, who have been openly referred to as pillars for the future of franchise, can't peacefully agree to on a contract, who can? The fact that Kevin Cheveldayoff was unable to come to terms with even one of these players, if for nothing more than a message to the rest of them, is unacceptable.
There are only 21 players in the league who filed for arbitration this season and 5 of them belong to the Winnipeg Jets. Factor in that one RFA has already walked away from the team, no free agent has signed here, nor have any been rumored to be interested in signing here and you have what looks like a pretty serious problem developing. I can't help but imagine that this is not exactly what Jets fans were hoping for this offseason. Especially from what has been referred to as "Chevy's defining summer" with the franchise.
Just a thought here: suppose a team & a player are relatively close to an agreement, but are out on some key piece (years, actual payment per year vs. average annual cost, etc.). If I'm a player, what token of faith can I give the team to show them that I'm focused on getting a deal done with them, rather than just scrabbling after the bigger payoff?
I apply for arbitration.
Why? Because, until the arbitration is awarded, I am prohibited from accepting an offer sheet, and the other 29 teams are prohibited from offering one. The only deal that can be made is with my old team. The player is saying, in effect: "I promise to sign with you for a fair rate, once we figure out what a fair rate is."
That this many young players have decided to file for arbitration rather than try to leave Winnipeg, as is their right, actually speaks very well to how much they have bought into the community and the team.

The Lady Pirates continued region play last week, taking on the Pinnacle Panthers and the Whitehorse Raiders. On Jan. 24 Green River hosted Pinnacle. The Pirates started off slow, getting down 7-0 before kicking it in and soon ran away with the contest 64-37. All eight varsity players were able to get in the scoring column. Michaela Hughes and Jamie Johnson each came up with a double, double. Hughes had 20 points and 14 boards, while Johnson scored 15 and pulled down 11 boards and five assists. Megan Hatt hit four threes on her way to 14 points, seven boards and six assists. Feleisha Antillion made a three and nabbed four rebounds and four assists. Sydney Thayn had five points. Kira Engleman pulled down seven boards and scored four points. Hannah Manalilli hit one bucket for two and Taylor Johnson made a free throw and grabbed seven rebounds.
The Pirates were then off to Montezuma Creek to defend their unbeaten region record against the Whitehorse Raiders. Whitehorse had only lost one region contest thus far and the Pirates knew they had a tough game ahead. At the opening tip off, Johnson controlled, tipped it to Hatt who quickly dribbled to the basket and hit a streaking Hughes and the girls in Green were up 2-0 within three seconds. That would be the last time the Pirates would lead in the contest.
Green River was down 18-15 after the first quarter. The Pirates had a tough shooting night as there were many shots that seemed to be in, only to pop out again. The girls battled hard, but ended up losing the game 56-41. This puts Green River and Whitehorse in a tie for first place in region. The Pirates have four more region games. Coach Parsons and Coach Brady are working on strategies to get the girls back in the winning column next week. Coach Parsons commented, "This is just a little bump in the road." Coach Parsons is confident the girls will rise to the occasion and continue their winning ways. Hatt was the leading scorer for the Pirates in the contest with three threes and 17 points, five assists. Hughes scored 16 points and battled for nine boards. Johnson scored six and got eight rebounds and Antillion scored two. Green River will next take the long road trip to Monument Valley and Navajo Mountain on Feb. 3-4. On Feb. 7 the girls will play in Monticello and will be home on Feb. 9 against Whitehorse.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff writer
Emery County Historical Society held their annual Cowboy Poetry Night Aug. 25 at Castle Valley Outdoors near Emery.
A threatening rain and wind storm failed to keep over 175 people from attending this great event. Only a few drops of rain fell and the wind became calm as the Fire House Five Band began to play and sing country western songs. The evening turned out to be warm and pleasant for the end of August in a beautiful Utah mountain valley setting.
The guests came to Castle Valley Outdoors with their collapsible chairs, jackets and blankets to sit on the lawn facing the east side of the big lodge to enjoy the Country Western music and entertaining Cowboy Poetry. The band was using the east side of the lodge for electricity to operate their electric guitars, the sound system and for a stage. The Fire House Five Band is made up of Bob Baker, Randy Lake, Lew Larson, John Sehestedt and Ross Christiansen. Some of the old Western songs they sang were formerly sung by Marti Robbins, Johnny Cash and other Western song writers. They also sang some of their original songs. The songs played on the guitars brought many memories.
Dottie Grimes, President of the Emery County Historical Society, after opening the meeting invited Merlin Christiansen of Emery to come forward and receive the Preservation of Emery County History award. Grimes said, "This award is to recognize Merlin for the notable contributions he has made to the town of Emery. Such as restoring the historic church building in Emery. That church building is very unique. It is a clapboard building built New England style. It is one of five historic buildings we have in Emery County. He has archived all of the registered brands at Emery from all of the cowboys we are celebrating tonight. He has gathered photos of every war veteran in Emery and has been instrumental in creating a War Memorial for them at Emery. Now he is recording and mapping every house that was in Emery and listing who lived there."
Grimes then introduced the Fire House Five Band and Sam DeLeeuw the notoriously funny and talented Cowgirl Poet who regaled the group with ranch experiences around her husband, farm vehicles, and animals that brought much laughter and tears to some who recalled days gone by. As a rancher's wife, she's herded horses, cows, sheep, and daughters. Her poetry is filled with those experiences.
DeLeeuw is a charming, woman. This evening she was wearing Western attire, including a Stetson hat and boots, decorated with silver stars set in gold.
DeLeeuw reported she started writing about her experiences when she was a kid and said, "I created the character Hilda who was 6' 5". When I was working as a Juvenal Court Probation Officer I went across the hall and talked to Ivan Christian the Sanpete County Theater Arts Director. After I read the poetry to him about Hilda, he invited me to read my poetry at one of their meetings. We do not read we perform. From that event I was invited to several places to perform. I continued my education and have taken courses on how to write stories and poems. The instructors informed me to write stories of things I know the most about.
"I retired after 30 years at the Juvenal Court in Manti and have moved to Roy. Now I travel full time, I play and have a good time. It is so much fun to travel. Whereever I go I ask for a host family. I do not want to stay in a hotel in this way I make many new friends," said DeLeeuw.
Deleeuw's sister Irene Mead lives in Ferron and was excited to have Sam come for a visit. Mead said, "I grew up with Sam but her name was Brenda then." Sam is Irene's younger sister. They were born in Blackfoot, Idaho and then moved to Utah according to Irene.
About Sam DeLeeuw
Brenda "Sam" DeLeeuw was born in Blackfoot, Idaho, just off the Fort Hall Reservation. She had her first horse when she was 4 and spent hours riding the reservation with her Indian friends and even more hours on the tributaries of the Snake River. She continued to ride and rodeo during her high school years and then attended Snow College in Ephraim, on the rodeo team. While at college she took as many livestock classes as she could, often the only girl in Feeds and Feeding, Livestock Management and Selection, etc.Now single, Sam was married for almost 20 years to a man who raised cattle and sheep. She can run a squeeze chute, innoculate cows in the heat of the day and spend cold nights checking first time calving heifers by headlight. She can keep a calf warm on the floor of her truck or the floor of her kitchen, and keeps the scour medicine in her fridge separate from the dressing she made for last night's supper. She can also keep a sense of humor and make a good story out of any of the happenings experienced with the stock. Sam is the past president of the Cowboy Poets of Utah, and is now serving on its Board of Directors. She is a member of the Cowboy Poets of Idaho, Cowboy Poets of Wind River, and the Utah Chapter of the Western Music Association. Sam won three of four events in the National Cowboy Poetry Rodeo in Kanab, held in August of 2006 and was named the 2006 Silver Buckle Category winner. This information istaken from Cowboy Poetry.com.
Some of DeLeeuw's recent credits are as follows: 2011 Pioneer Heritage Award, Cowboy Poets of Utah, in the 2010 Hall of Fame Cowboy Poets of Idaho. Her CD was #1 on WMA " Top 10 Western Play List, Women of the West. She won the 2006 Buckle winner at the Kanab, Utah, Cowboy Poetry roundup. She was named Female Poet of the Year by the Utah Chapter of the Western Music Association.
One of the first stories Sam told, was about milking the cow, the cream at the top of the milk and the floaters in the milk after the cream had been skimmed off. One morning her mother did not have any cheese cloth to remove the floaters. So she went to the store to get cheese cloth for the floaters. When she returned. Sam was eating cheerios and milk. Her mother asked Sam how she had strained out the floaters. Sam said she had used the fly swatter to strain the milk for her cheerios. Then she told her mother not to worry as she hadn't used the new one.
The following story is about how Sam DeLeeuw got her first name changed from Brenda to Sam.
When Sam attended Snow College she went on a blind date to a dance. The boy she was dancing with couldn't seem to remember her name was Brenda. After several tries she finally told him to call her any name he could remember. He said I have a hound dog with brown eyes like yours named Sam. I will call you Sam and she have been called Sam ever since.
One of Sam's most interesting skits was called Spreading Sunshine. This story was about a woman from the East who thought a manure spreader was a work of art and her encounter with the owner of the manure spreader. Sam made several rapid changes of her hat and theatrical teeth to play the part of both the woman and the old farmer.
The meeting of the historical society turned out to be one of the best Cowboy Poetry nights presented.
Those that wanted were able to purchase CD's of DeLeeuw's Cowboy Poetry.
After the program the historical society served wonderful Dutch Oven cobbler made of peaches or strawberries with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Join Wild West to look for Scotland's "Big Five" of red deer, golden eagle, otter, harbour seal and red squirrel. These can be found on a single day trip. Red deer safaris, searchlight safaris and tailor made private safaris also available.
Red Deer Rut
Throughout October, the rut takes place and the glens are filled with the roaring of amorous stags competing to mate with the hinds. For the whole month, Wild West will run twice daily trips to see this highlight of the Scottish wildlife calendar. There is usually more activity around dawn, so Wild West offer an early morning trip. leaving Invergarry 1/2 an hour before sunrise to be with the deer just after dawn. Cost £35.00 (adults) £21 (under 16)
Join Wild West and Loch Shiel Cruises to look for the "Big Five"
For the year of Natural Scotland 2013, Visit Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage have joined together to showcase the very best of Scotland's wildlife. There are few places in the country where all of the big five of red deer, golden eagle, harbour seal, red squirrel and otter can be found. However, Wild West offer a unique opportunity to search for all these species and much more in a single day.
Leaving Fort William at 9.00, we travel along Loch Eil to Glenfinnan. Here you will join skipper Jim Michie of Loch Shiel cruises on a one way cruise to Acharacle at the south end of the loch. On the way, you'll be looking out for golden eagles, red deer, sea eagles, hen harrier and black throated divers amongst others. And what Jim doesn't know about the history of the area hasn't yet been written!
At Acharacle you'll be met again by Ian MacLeod and the Wild West mini bus and we'll stop for a spot of lunch. You can bring your own picnic or we'll eat at a local restaurant. After lunch we'll head to Castle Tioram, the ruined island fortress home of the Macdonalds of Clan Ranald. Here we may see sea eagles, otters and a variety of other sea and shore birds.
From there we'll wind our way along Loch Sunart, visiting the Garbh Eilean wildlife hide where we hope to find seals hauled out on the rocks, herons, mergansers, arctic terns and again, perhaps otters. If time permits we'll detour round by Kingairloch looking for golden eagle, red deer, hen harriers, divers and the feral goats that feed on the seaweed around rubha nan sornagan.
Crossing the Corran ferry we'll be looking out for the black guilemots that nest on the old jetty there before making our final stop of the day at Inchree forest, where the forestry commission have set up feeders and a screen to watch the final member of the Big Five, the red squirrel.
Finally, back to Fort William for tea...
Adults £80.00 each Under 16's £48.00 Price includes boat and ferry fares
This trip runs Wednesdays only, April until end of September due to Loch Shiel Cruises timetabe. Non - cruise "Big Five" safaris can be arranged, cost £65.00 (under 16's £39.00)
For more details go to Big Five safari
Red deer Safari
We head up Glengarry to loch Quoich to look for the herds of red deer which roam the hills. From November to May the deer are low down providing great photo opportunities. At other times of year they will be higher up the hills but we can usually find and observe them with a scope or binoculars.
Adults £35.00; under 16 £21.00
Searchlight safari
After dusk, the creatures of the night awake to hunt and forage under the cover of darkness and this is the time that we will set off into the forest. We'll be looking for signs, and hopefully sightings of owls, deer, bats, foxes, pine marten… and maybe, just maybe, the most elusive and secretive of Scotland's wild animals, the Scottish wildcat." From May to August, due to long daylight hours the searchlight safari will be replaced by a dusk safari.
Daily at dusk, the time to be advised when booking. Approx. 2.5 hours
Adults £35.00; under 16 £21.00
Loch Lochy & Loch Arkaig
Osprey and sea eagles have bred successfully on Lochs Lochy and Arkaig in recent years and we regularly see them fishing on the lochs. The Allt Mhuic nature reserve is a stronghold of
the chequered skipper butterfly, one of the UK's rarest species. As in Glengarry, red deer roam freely.
Trips run on demand and last approximately 3.5 hours.
Adults £35.00; under 16 £21.00
A walk in the woods
Our forests are one of our greatest wildlife resources. On this walk we'll be looking for red squirrel, roe deer, crossbills and signs of pine marten, not to mention all the other woodland birds, dragonflies, butterflies and forest flora
The walk is approximately 2.5 hours on forest trails
Adults £15.00; under 16 £9.00
Glengarry half day safari
We start off with a drive through Glengarry forests, looking for Scottish crossbill and crested tit, then down to Loch Garry where we may see black & red throated diver and scoter, as well as many other common species. We'll also be looking at the abundant insect and flower life including dragonflies and our native carnivorous plants
Adults £35.00; Under 16 £21
Glengarry full day safari
This trip starts off as the half day but continues all the way out to Kinloch Hourn. Here we will take a walk to Skiary, the remains of a once thriving herring port, looking for otters, seabirds and other life found in abundance on the seashore. The road, now a rough track was built by Thomas Telford.
Bordering the north side of the Knoydart peninsula, Europe's last true Wilderness, Loch Hourn really is one of
Scotland's hidden gems and a true taste of the Wild West.
Adults £60.00; under 16 £40.00
Bespoke tours

What brings you to LA?
I went to knotts scary farm last night- Im not giving a review because this is not the right place for it. It was a really good time and it was very cool to see a big park that cares about Halloween and keeps adding to their show when so many other big parks are scaling back. It is easy to see that Halloween is in their hearts.
Im hitting the LA hayride and universal studios CA tonight
I just came out to see a few haunts- we saw 29 attractions this weekend. Im beat.
Just made it out to Reindeer Manor last night and took in all three attractions. My official non-review? Awesome! A total revelation! I'm going to try and make it back again this season and bring friends.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you had a good time BrotherMysterio. Hope to see you again.
Btw, what were those rubber flaps that divided up the rooms in the dungeon? They were almost like mudflaps.

Virgin Blue Welcomes Sister Carrierâs Australian Flight Plan28/11/2003
Virgin Atlantic To Introduce New Era In International Travel
Virgin Blue Airlines has congratulated its sister carrier, London based Virgin Atlantic Airways, on negotiating rights to bring its outstanding flights to Australian shores next year.
Virgin Group's full service International long haul carrier, Virgin Atlantic, announced plans to launch services between Hong Kong and Sydney, following successful negotiations between UK and Hong Kong authorities. The airline currently flies daily from London to the Asian hub but up until now, didn't have Hong Kong Government permission to continue on to Australia.
The airline will now work with the European Commission to secure final approval, which would bring significant competition to the Kangaroo Route.
Virgin Blue has welcomed the news and is gearing up to join forces with Virgin Atlantic to bring the benefits of competition to the travelling public.
Spokesperson Amanda Bolger said, "This is fantastic news for Atlantic and for people travelling to and from Australia to Hong Kong and London."
She continued, "Our code-share relationship with United Airlines has proven that a value based airline can maintain a strong working relationship with a full service carrier without impacting its benchmark low cost base.
We very much look forward to working with Virgin Atlantic. The award-winning product has set new standards in long haul flying and while it is quite different to Virgin Blue's domestic product, both carrier's are looking after consumers by challenging the incumbents with innovation, great staff, value for money and world class service."
Virgin Atlantic expects to launch daily flights between Sydney and London via Hong Kong with its modern Airbus A340-600 aircraft by the Australian winter (northern summer) 2004.

One gets the sneaking feeling there might be a touch of needle between England and Ireland in their Six Nations clash on Saturday.
One gets the sneaking feeling there might be a touch of needle between England and Ireland in their big Six Nations Championship showdown at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.
The build-up to this fixture has seen the English called 'bad losers' by Ireland blindside flanker Stephen Ferris before full-back Rob Kearney added his own, shall we say, honest feelings toward their hosts that in all probability will help interim head coach Stuart Lancaster with what might be his last pre-match team-talk at HQ.
Whether the Rugby Football Union stick with seemingly the player's favourite and decide to keep Lancaster in the hot-seat alongside Graham Rowntree and a coach probably set to be named later remains to be seen, but what cannot be undersold is the efforts the Yorkshireman has put in over these past couple of months. Andy Farrell is unlikely to stay in his role after Saracens put a kibosh on such a move while Farrell has said that he wants to develop further at club level for now.
Those of you wondering where Nick Mallett is while this is going on will find the former Italy coach doing in-studio work in South Africa. Mallett last week gave off an air of someone who respects what Lancaster has achieved in such a short space of time, alongside being perplexed as to France coach Phillipe Saint-Andre's decision to go for hooker Dimitri Szarzewski, prop Jean-Baptiste Poux, scrum-half Julien Dupuy and fly-half Lionel Beauxis ahead of William Servat, Vincent Debaty, Morgan Parra and Francois Trinh-Duc against England. We can't help but be with Mallett on this.
Onto the game at hand though and this clash is set to be a fantastic 80 minutes as history between these two sides offers plenty of spice. From 2004, Ireland are up on England by seven wins to two in an impressive statistic for the green visitors. Despite such a dominant record of putting one over their rivals, Declan Kidney goes into this one again without Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell. Perhaps that point is doing a disservice to Keith Earls and Donnacha Ryan, who have performed admirably in the veteran pair's Six Nations absence.
Without those two, the leadership responsibilities have gone to Rory Best, while Jonathan Sexton is taking on a more senior role. Alongside Ryan in the second-row remains Donncha O'Callaghan, who on Thursday also added fuel to the fire before kick-off.
"England shirts are a red rag to the Irish. When we play England in anything, we want to do well and perform," said the lock, before revealing their 20-9 defeat to the English in their 2011 Rugby World Cup warm-up was down to not approaching the game correctly.
"It's disappointing to say it but we played a friendly that day and they played a Test match. We were caught short because of that," explained Munster second-row O'Callaghan.
Judging from such pre-game feelings filtering from the Irish camp, there will be nothing friendly about what is coming at Twickenham. Forget red rags, there could be red cards in this one as England quietly go about their work, looking to do their talking on the field.
Ones to watch:
For England: Paris saw Ben Morgan in full swing last weekend and such was his form that we were surprised to see him replaced by Phil Dowson so early. But credit to Dowson as he saved a try – taking a knee to the head and Tom Croft's boot to the face for his troubles – against France and will always serve Stuart Lancaster well as a replacement. But returning to Morgan, who stunned France somewhat with his pace and power busting holes in the home midfield. Another player to keep an eye on will be new father Ben Foden.
For Ireland: He has amassed some serious air miles this Six Nations and, in our eyes, Rob Kearney is ahead of Ben Foden and Leigh Halfpenny in the current pecking order before next year's British & Irish Lions tour. Kearney looks back to his 2009 best when he had South Africa struggling to get to grips with the number 15 wearing red and if he can maintain his solidity while offer an attacking option, then England may find little joy in their kicking tactics. Meanwhile, lock Donnacha Ryan has a lot to live up to after last week's top effort.
Head-to-head: Two of the best blindsides in world rugby meet on Saturday as Tom Croft clashes with Stephen Ferris. Flanks with differing strengths, the duo should put on quite at show and it will be interesting to see whether the Ulster star can knock the Leicester line-out king off his game with one of those wincing tackles. This battle will be a real thriller.
Recent results:
2011: England won 20-9 at Aviva Stadium
2011: Ireland won 24-8 at Aviva Stadium
2010: Ireland won 20-16 at Twickenham
2009: Ireland won 14-13 at Croke Park
2008: England won 33-10 at Twickenham
2007: Ireland won 43-13 at Croke Park
2006: Ireland won 28-24 at Twickenham
2005: Ireland won 19-13 at Lansdowne Road
2004: Ireland won 19-13 at Twickenham
2003: England won 42-6 at Lansdowne Road
2002: England won 45-11 at Twickenham
2001: Ireland won 20-14 at Lansdowne Road
2000: England won 50-18 at Twickenham
Prediction: The trend suggests that England are getting better and better throughout this Six Nations Championship so we are going for the hosts to end on a high. England by 8!
The teams:
England: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (capt), 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley, 1 Alex Corbisiero.
Replacements: 16 Lee Mears, 17 Matt Stevens, 18 Tom Palmer, 19 Phil Dowson, 20 Ben Youngs, 21 Charlie Hodgson, 22 Mike Brown.
Ireland: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Keith Earls, 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Andrew Trimble, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Eoin Reddan, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Sean O'Brien, 6 Stephen Ferris, 5 Donnacha Ryan, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 Mike Ross, 2 Rory Best (c), 1 Cian Healy.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Tom Court, 18 Mike McCarthy, 19 Peter O'Mahony, 20 Tomas O'Leary, 21 Ronan O'Gara, 22 Fergus McFadden.

HELPER-Carinda Eaquinta, age 87, passed away Nov. 17, 2008 at her home. She was born Sept. 19, 1921 in Helper, Utah to Giavonni and Saveria Gallo Eaquinta.
Aunt Carinda lived a wonderful and full life. As the surviving sibling of 10 brothers and sisters, she loved all of her nieces and nephews, their children, their children, and their children's children. She treated each as if they were her son or daughter. She always helped anyone who was in need. She had an open door, loving arms, warm smile and terrific food in her kitchen.
From a very young age, she always supported her brothers and could be seen at all of their football and baseball games. As a little girl at one of her brother's Carbon High football games, the ball went out-of-bounds and right to her. She thought it was her ball and she was going to keep it and give it to her brother - so she began to run away with it. The game had to be stopped as all chased her to get the football back.
To this day, she would always talk about the Utah Jazz and the players, the University of Utah and her San Francisco 49ers. She was planning Saturday to watch her Utes beat BYU.
For most of her life, she worked in the LaSalle hotel and café. She started at a very young age helping her father and her brothers - until she and her sisters were the only ones running the LaSalle. She could always be found behind the counter cooking on the stove as she was telling one of her favorite stories. And of course, she was always smiling and laughing.
As her sisters Katherine and Mary grew old and became ill, as the youngest sister, she was responsible for their care. She never complained and was always there to make sure all of their needs were met.
Aunt Carinda will be missed. She has touched many lives, but not as much as she touched the lives of her family. As she leaves us, an Eaquinta era comes to an end, but the memories will live forever.
Aunt Carinda is survived by her sisters-in-law, Florence and Sophie; many cousins; and up to and including four generations of nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, baby sister; brothers, Sam, Joe, Louie, James, Frank and Carl; sisters, Rose Eaquinta Spatafore, Katherine Marie Eaquinta and Mary Thressa Eaquinta.
Funeral Mass was Saturday, Nov. 22, 2008, 10 a.m., St. Anthony Catholic Church. The vigil service was Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the church in Helper. Family received friends at the church Saturday morning beginning at 9 a.m. Committal service, Price City Cemetery, Price. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials discovered more than $300,000 worth of stolen copper from a mining company located in Hayden during a search warrant served on Sept. 27.
The copper, taken from the ASARCO Mining Corporation, was found and three truck-tractors, three semi-trailers, one forklift and two handcarts were seized at a residence in Marana where the warrant was served, Department of Public Safety officials said.
Copper was found in the form of ingots, a thin square plate 4 feet tall and weighing approximately 880 pounds, officials said.
The warrant was obtained using information from a traffic stop on I-10, where officials found 48 copper ingots in the trailer of a commercial vehicle, authorities said.
During the warrant, officials found 54 stolen copper ingots identified by the mining company, officials said.
The investigation was conducted by the Arizona Department of Public Safety Southern Commercial Vehicle Unit and the Criminal Investigation Division.

There's More to Smokey Bear Than You Realized
Smokey Bear.
McGruff the Crime-Fighting Dog, with his trench coat and attitude.
The Crying Indian surrounded by litter.
You may have thought you knew all there was to know about them—their messages, even their histories. Wendy Melillo thought she did, too; after all, she'd spent years reporting on the advertising industry before joining American University's School of Communication faculty in 2007.
And you may have thought there wasn't anything even vaguely controversial about these public service announcements (PSAs), or about the Ad Council, the consortium of talented executives who created and popularized those now-so-familiar characters.
Wendy Melillo thought so, too—until she starting digging through the records for a closer look at these and other campaigns designed by the group.
What she found surprised her and occasionally disturbed her. What looked perfectly warm and fuzzy to the outside world turned out to have plenty of hidden facets and sharp edges. She also uncovered plenty of largely forgotten entertaining stories, and one or two enduring myths in need of correction.
Melillo compiled the fascinating findings in her new book How McGruff and the Crying Indian Changed America: A History of Iconic Ad Council Campaigns (Smithsonian Books, 2013).
"It's not as mom-and-pop-and-apple-pie, as Americana, as many people think," she says. "A lot of these campaigns have this kind of 'back story'."
Patriotic Self-Interest
The Ad Council came together as the United States entered World War II, when the advertising industry itself was under increasing attack here at home for what many considered deceptive practices. To help improve their own public image, America's "mad" men at the time decided if they couldn't win over their critics in Washington, they would join forces with them under the guise of assisting with the wartime messaging effort.
The first result of this marriage of convenience? A certain friendly-looking bear that urged vigilance against forest fires; all that lumber was needed to build America's fighting ships to take on Germany and Japan. And the rest is advertising history.
"Even though the war ended, that relationship did not and continues to this day," Melillo says.
A Focus on Individual Responsibility
"Only you can prevent forest fires"—one of the Ad Council's most enduring messages—later came under fire when environmentalists argued that trying to prevent all forest fires also short-circuited the natural processes of burn-and-renewal that periodically cleaned out the underbrush and prevented far more catastrophic fires when they did occur. For that matter, Americans in certain parts of the country saw Smokey as a stand-in for a federal government that had set aside—"stolen," in their view—land their families had cultivated for generations. Bullet-ridden posters made it clear that Smokey's appeal had limits.
The campaign proved to be significant in another way, too, Melillo says; it highlighted what would become the Council's continuing focus on individual actions.
Sometimes—as with Vince and Larry, the Crash Test Dummies, urging people to buckle up for safety—it was the right message, properly targeted. Other times, maybe not.
"People Start Pollution. People Can Stop It" was the message of the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign. Seems reasonable, but was the Ad Council letting the government—letting entire industries—off the hook? Funders for the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign included Dow Chemical, Glad Products, McDonald's, Coke, and Pepsi, companies that, as Melillo points out: "have a vested interest in selling packing materials, chemicals and plastic bottles, all of which end up in our garbage stream."
This PSA Sponored By
But corporate interests' influence on Ad Council campaigns didn't stop there. A typical three-year campaign could cost several million dollars. With each campaign requiring vital financial support and donated labor from the government, "interested" corporate sponsors, and the advertising agencies that represented those corporate sponsors, as well as "donated" airtime to run the PSAs from the TV and radio stations that depended on those corporate sponsors' advertising dollars—there were places the Ad Council chose not to tread.
"These things don't exist in a vacuum," Melillo says. "There are more influences on these campaigns than even I, a skeptical journalist, realized. This is an organization that doesn't want to anger anyone, wants to be as non-controversial as possible. They constantly walk that tightrope."
While Melillo doesn't deny the Ad Council's many contributions to the public good, she wonders what a group with fewer competing interests and limitations might have produced and been able to accomplish.
"No one is saying the Ad Council isn't doing good work," Melillo says. "The question is, what are the ways we can make this better? Do we have to accept those limits?"
But Wait! There's More!
In the book, Melillo highlights some of the biggest successes as well as some of the most interesting "failures" among the 400-plus Ad Council campaigns launched to date, filling in the missing and fascinating pieces of an underappreciated slice of American cultural history along the way. These include:
* The well-known "Rosie the Riveter" poster, long a mainstay of self-congratulatory Ad Council publicity materials, had nothing to do with the Ad Council, and had only a minimal effect on drawing women into the workplace during and after World War II.
* Albert Einstein and other Manhattan Project scientists partnered with the Ad Council to create a campaign warning Americans about the dangers of atomic weapons.
* At the height of the Cold War, the CIA—which was prohibited from operating within the United States—used a front-group to funnel money to the Council for a domestic ad campaign against Communism.
* Before the Council came up with "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" for the United Negro College Fund, there was an earlier positioning statement, the wording of which was deemed too controversial.
* The "Crying Indian" wasn't really an American Indian.

A Silent Burial for My Family Who "Disappeared"
The author's brother, first on the left with leather jacket, at wedding with Peronist Youth shortly before he disappeared. (courtesy of Maria del Sol Crocker)
I was born in Argentina, and came here after my marriage. Crocker is my married name; my original surname is Curia. My sister, Gloria Constanza Curia, and my brother Fernando Ramiro Curia, as well as my cousin Horacio Ponce, were kidnapped and killed by the military junta government in Argentina. They disappeared in 1976 and, like Mercedes Doretti says in her interview, my whole life froze.
I was unable to finish college. My mother went into deep depression. My little sister left our home and moved in with her boyfriend's family.
We could not stand the silence in the house, a house that had been filled with music and joy, since both my brother and my sister played the guitar. We all used to sing together — mostly Argentinian folk music, Brazilian bossa nova, some tangos, Mercedes Sosa — and our friends would drop by in the evenings just to make music with us.
We were submitted to a subtle kind of torture: every once in a while there would be an anonymous phone call with "news" from our siblings. I will never forget that one year we were told that they "would be back for Christmas." That Christmas Eve night (in Latin America, the big celebration happens on the night that Christ was born) my mother refused to eat, to drink, to talk, waiting and waiting. Finally, she went to bed, heartbroken. After that day, we dreaded Christmas, because my mom would fall into her depression again.
After about ten years, I told my mother that they would not be coming back, and I offered to go through their belongings and decided what to do with them. I felt like I was burying them — going through my sister's make up, her ballet clothes, my little brother's shoes (so big, he was 17 when he was taken and had been growing so fast), his overcoat. So much pain, so little justice.
No, I do not hope to find that my brother and sister are alive. I am sure that they are in some mass grave in an unmarked location. It would be a wonderful closure to have their remains identified. The worse part is the uncertainty and the waiting.
As I try to understand, heal, and integrate these painful experiences, I have found that only Vedanta has a clear and acceptable explanation for what has been called the problem of the existence of evil. In the first place, there is the law of Karma, which basically is the law of cause as applied to our actions (and thoughts too!). That accounts for why "bad things happen to good people" and also gives me a larger overview on the concept of justice — meaning that no deed goes unpunished (or unrewarded). So I have come to accept that my siblings, my cousin, and all my "dissappeared" and dead friends had some karmic influences that were working themselves out.
Sometimes a soul needs to experience certain things in order to evolve in a particular area. And what may appear to be very negative occurrences turn out to be wonderful learning opportunities. I pray for the next incarnation of my siblings, that it may be a good one and lead them ever closer to the Goal.
Thank you for remembering them. Thank you for the poetry and the splendid music from my beautiful and wounded country.

The tragic events of September 11, 2001 added a new dimension to American policing. While it is true that the federal government is increasing its efforts in the area of terrorism prevention and response, a large degree of responsibility for responding to threats of terrorism rests at the local level. Experience now tells us that the first responders to any future incidents will most assuredly be local police, fire, and rescue personnel. As a result, law enforcement officials must now strategically rethink public security procedures and practices in order to maximize the full potential of their resources.
There are a number of considerations that must be taken into account when addressing homeland security. These include human intelligence gathering activities, intelligence and data analysis, and partnerships between law enforcement agencies, other public safety and service agencies, and the public at large. Whether through funding police officers and technology, or providing training and publications, the COPS Office is committed to providing the law enforcement community with the resources required to enhance community security and contribute to the overall goal of national domestic preparedness.
The COPS Office will continue to examine ways to provide both direct and indirect support to local and state law enforcement practitioners. Information is provided on Guides and Reports, Training and Technical Assistance, and Links to Other Resources concerning homeland security that may be of interest to local police.

Animal Hall of Fame
Land mammal: African elephants weigh up to 14,000 pounds and can eat as much as 600 pounds of food a day! Their trunks contain as many as 100,000 different muscles.
Marine mammal: The blue whale is the world's biggest animal, even larger than any known dinosaur. An average-sized adult is 80 feet long and weighs about 120 tons. This giant is also the loudest animal on Earth. Its call, which is louder than a jet, can be heard for hundreds of miles.
Bird: The ostrich can grow to 9 feet tall and weigh as much as 350 pounds. Its eggs, the largest of all birds, weigh up to three pounds. These flightless birds can sprint up to 43 miles per hour.
Fish: The whale shark , which is not a whale, reaches about 33 feet in length and weighs up to 60 tons. These fish prefer warm water and inhabit tropical seas. Don't let their size scare you! They are tame creatures that have let swimmers ride on their backs.
Reptile: The saltwater crocodile can grow to 23 feet long and weigh up to 2,200 pounds. Often called "salties," the ferocious reptiles are found in India, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.
Insect: Giant walking sticks can grow to about 20 inches length. They protect themselves from predators by using camouflage to blend into their environments.

As SkyView Academy adds eighth and 11th grades to the academic menu next year, the school is in search of 15 new full-time staff members and a slew of part-timers.
The K-12 charter school, which recently expanded its Business Center Drive campus in Highlands Ranch, has plans to hire math, history, Spanish and English teachers at the middle and high school levels as well as middle school technology and science teachers and a high school physics teacher and academic counselor.
In addition, the academy is looking to hire an elementary librarian and fill four positions within the school's special education program. They are also looking for part-time classroom assistants for grades K-5
"It's such an exciting time for SkyView because of all the growth," said board President Lorrie Gove. "With the school only being three years old, it's a good time for staff to come in and get to help mold the program while we are still busy growing. The curriculum is set, but we're looking for people with an entrepreneurial spirit."
The public charter school is inviting prospective candidates to an open house slated for 9 a.m.-noon March 16 at 6161 Business Center Drive in Highlands Ranch. Candidates are asked to bring their resumes and any questions they may have. The executive director and all three principals will be on hand to answer questions.
Each applicant must be able to work collaboratively in a team environment while engaging in an ongoing exchange of ideas and a commitment to the learning and self-improvement for the betterment of all SVA students, said Grove.
"We are open to anybody that believes in our school and our vision and mission," she added. "It could be someone with years of experience or someone right out of college. Our staff right now is on the young side, but it really depends who is a good fit."
The school, which will graduate its first class in 2015, currently has 1,041 students enrolled for next school year, but anticipates the final number to be around 1,200. According to Grove, there is a wait list for grades K-8, but the school does have spots available for new students in all three high school grade levels for the fall.
Individuals interested in SVA employment opportunities can view the job postings and find out more about the hiring process by visiting www.skyviewacademy.org or by calling 303-471-8439.

Hundreds of passengers travel to Copenhagen climate conference on CO2-free Climate Express train
Paris/Copenhagen, 6 December 2009 - More than 400 climate change negotiators, business leaders, environmental activists and journalists boarded the CO2-free Climate Express train on 5 December to the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen.
They were hosted by Jean-Pierre Loubinoux, Director General of the International Union of Railways (UIC) and the initiator of this special train, along with Achim Steiner, the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme and James P. Leape, Director General of WWF. The passengers were joined by the British Council's Young Climate Champions from all five continents on their trip to the Copenhagen conference, which kicks off on 7 December.
The aim of the journey was to support and encourage decision-makers to deliver a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, the first international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Its purpose was also to send out the message that the next-generation climate agreement and its supporting policies and procedures need to address the transport sector's growing emissions
Also boarding the Climate Express train was the Climate Expert Team, which started the symbolic train journey 3 weeks ago in Kyoto - the birthplace of the current Climate Change Protocol. The journey took them among others along the Trans-Siberian route, organised by Russian Railways (RZD), with Copenhagen as their final destination. The Team brought a special message from the rail community: a global position paper entitled "Keeping Climate Change Solutions on Track: The Role of Rail".
During their journey to Copenhagen via Cologne and Hamburg, the passengers took part in a wide range of activities on the train, including high level discussions aiming to raise awareness of the transport sector's influence on climate change.
Achim Steiner, James Leape and Pr. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also took part in a panel discussion on 'Updating Climate Science: What is at stake?'.
On board the train, the workshops and round-table discussions on the various aspects of sustainable mobility and how it can be addressed in a post-2012 agreement were a key opportunity for passengers on board to discuss the crucial climate talks ahead.
"We've had a lot of very hopeful signals in the past week or so," UNEP´s Executive Director, Achim Steiner, told the passengers during the closing on-board debate.
"The number of world leaders now planning to attend the climate talks is one such signal, but the responsibility to hold the leaders to account and to continue to apply intense pressure sits with civil society," Mr Steiner said.
UNEP partnered with the International Union of Railways, WWF and the British Council to plan the Climate Express journey, which featured a novel on-board climate change conference as the electric train made its ways to the COP host city via Germany.
Speaking on board, the head of WWF, Jim Leape, said a new climate change deal was possible.
"I think Copenhagen presents the best political opportunity we've ever had to address the most important issue of our generation," Mr Leape said.
"A new deal is in our grasp but we've got to make sure Heads of Government hear the demand for action from their constituents," he said.
The debates and presentations during the 13-hour journey ranged from the latest climate science to the UN REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) programme and the first test flight for a solar-powered aircraft, which took place this week.
The journey was a totally CO2-free journey, as the power drawn for the locomotive came entirely from renewable sources of energy. If the same group of people flew to Copenhagen, they would have produce d 115kg of CO2 per person.
The Climate Express was welcomed upon arrival in Copenhagen by the new Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Lykke Friis, Søren Eriksen, CEO of the Danish Railways (DSB), and Kim Carstensen, Leader of WWF International's Global Climate Initiative.

The multi-talented musician and Headtron artist, jOBOT, is making his mark on the healthy underground bass music scene with each and every stunning release. Drawing from eclectic influences, he typically exudes his versatility as a producer by tastefully incorporating different genres into one track. His remix of Dawn Richard's "Frequency" is packed with an enormous glitch-hop punch that moves through a sub-bass drenched trap-like bridge and then returns back to the original synth-driven grittiness. jOBOT and his live side project, Continuum (w/ GRiDWORK), are certainly two special acts to watch this year. Have a listen, download, and head to the Envision Festival to catch jOBOT in action.

- Description
- Metal containers such as these were commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th by Chinese immigrants in the laundry business. A water and starch mix were sprinkled onto clothes for ironing.
- Chinese immigration to the United States was driven by the need for cheap labor during the mining and railroad boom of the 1850s. Chinese soon moved into other industries such as agriculture and laundry services.
