Spencer Cook made it a repeat as he again turned in his best game of the season against his old high school and the Emery High Spartans won their homecoming game and defeated their rival last Friday night 36-27.
Cook had 148 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns on 19 carries in the game against Carbon. Cook also led a determined Spartan defensive effort as Emery allowed only 63 yards of offense by Carbon in the second half until the last drive of the ballgame. Cook scored on runs of 1,9,5 and 9 yards.
After the game, coach Kevin Reynolds had this to say about Cook, "Spencer moved here from Carbon County three years ago and he has always played well against them. His best game last year was in that victory. He is a determined young man. He has speed, size and also some moves. Cook is as good as we have had in a while."
Also scoring in the game for the Spartans was Mike Blomquist as he caught a Joey Bernard 23-yard pass for the first score of the second half. That offensive series was set up by an interception of a Dino pass by Spartan cornerback Josh Eden. Eden also had another interception in the first half and Landon Thomas and Caleb Sitterud also added interceptions in the game.
Emery gave up 212 yards of offense in the first half but only 115 in the second as Emery allowed Carbon 16 yards in their first four possessions of the second half.
Carbon's Chris Hatch scored their first TD on a 5-yard run after Emery fumbled the opening kick-off. Daniel Davis scored Carbon's second TD on a 60-yard Brandon Wilson pass. Hatch scored again in the second quarter on a 1-yard run. Dustin Howe scored the last Carbon TD on an 18-yard Wilson pass with time running out in the game.
Asked about the defensive differences between the halves, Coach Reynolds had this to say, "We really struggled for a half tonight, maybe it was because it was homecoming, maybe because it was Carbon. Our players were trying too hard, we just told them to settle down, do your job and we'll be alright. They did and we were."
With the win, the Spartans guarantee themselves at least fourth in region for the season and a play-off berth. Now the Spartans need to work on adding to the victories for this season. Emery is on the road this Friday night against Park City.

The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction
Produced in 2007, this series of six videos exhaustively examines some of the most persistent of 9/11 conspiracy theories: that the World Trade Center was brought down by a controlled demolition; that a missile, not a commercial airliner, hit the Pentagon; and that members of the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks in hopes of creating a war in the Middle East. Each conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and how they grow on the Internet. Among those commenting are James Miegs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics and Michael Shermer Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine. Whether you believe it was a conspiracy or not, there is some amazing stuff in these videos that you do not want to miss!

Fire Closes Clara Brownell Middle School in Umatilla
A Umatilla middle school is expected to open back up tomorrow, after a fire on campus closed classes today.
The small fire started in a storage room behind the cafeteria at Clara Brownell Middle School.
Food service workers noticed the flames around 7 AM, and they believe the fire had been burning for about an hour before then.
No students were at the school at the time of the fire.
After canceling classes, administrators spent the day airing out the building.
"The damage is fairly minor. But if you look carefully, you can see that there's a gas pipe running through there, and we might have to replace some of those fixtures. But overall, the damage is fairly minor. We did lose a small number of food stuff" said Al Meunier, Interim Superintendent.
Meunier says about 400 students attend Clara Brownell Middle School.
Administrators originally thought the fire was started by an electrical problem, but this afternoon, they said they're not sure what caused the fire.
They plan to review video surveillance to see what happened.
Nobody was injured.

Nursery and Dealer Licensing
The Department of Plant Industry (DPI) strives to prevent the introduction of new plant pests into South Carolina, as well as the spread of existing plant pests to noninfested locations through inspections, plant pest surveys, quarantines, and control and eradication programs. Movement of nursery stock is regulated by every state and foreign country. Under South Carolina law, any person engaged in the production or collection of nursery stock for sale or distribution must be a licensed nurserymen.
There are two categories of nursery licenses in South Carolina: Nursery and Nursery Dealer. A nursery is any place where nursery stock is grown for sale. A nursery dealer is any person, not a grower of nursery stock, who buys certified nursery stock for resale. Licenses for both categories run from October 1st through September 30th every year. All registration fees and renewal forms are due by September 30th every year.
Nurseries must be both certified and registered in order to receive a SC Nursery License. Certification is done through annual inspections by DPI nursery inspectors. DPI nursery inspectors will inspect the nursery environs and general condition of the plants. DPI inspectors will also discuss important issues such as nursery registration fees (if applicable), nursery stock movement, and state and federal quarantines.
Nursery dealers must complete the Nursery Dealer License form. Every nursery stock source must be certified in its state of origin, and the names and physical addresses of all nursery stock sources must be listed on the form.
For more information on the South Carolina Nursery and Dealer Program, please contact the Department of Plant Industry at (864) 646-2140 or fill out and submit the following form.

Finding the Right Financial Institution
Choosing the right bank is an important step. As with any financial decision, it's important to figure out what you want and need beforehand. There are countless banks to consider—some nationwide and some local—and there are also credit unions, which some people opt to use instead of or in addition to banks for their savings and credit needs.
Here are a few things to consider before you open a checking account:
- Location. Does the financial institution have branches in the areas where you work and live?
- Availability of ATMs. The ATMs owned by your bank won't charge you to withdraw cash, but other banks' ATMs will. Does the financial institution have machines in locations that are convenient for you?
- Hours. Do you work during the day? Perhaps you need a financial institution with extended hours'some are even open on Sundays.
- Customer service. Do their customer service offerings fit your needs?
- Online banking. The Internet has made it very convenient to keep track of your finances online. Find out if the institution you're considering provides online access to your account.
- Credit unions are an option. Credit unions differ from banks in several ways. They're designed to serve a particular group or neighborhood, and users are members rather than customers.
These days, banks and credit unions are more than just places to keep your money. Many serve as one-stop financial service shops. In addition to checking and savings accounts and credit cards, here are some services and products offered by most financial institutions:
- Credit cards
- Lines of credit
- Personal, business and auto loans
- Mortgages
- Online or mobile banking
- Automatic bill pay
- International banking
- Health savings accounts
- Financial planning
- Investment management
- Health, home and car insurance
- Retirement programs
Having all of these services in one place can provide not only convenience, but also savings. Many financial institutions will offer lower fees and higher interest to customers who use multiple services and products.
Opening a Checking Account
Once you've decided on a specific bank or credit union, you'll want to open a checking account. A good checking account is an essential tool for building solid personal finances. It makes managing your money easier, and over time it will save you money.
- Convenience. With a checking account, you can pay bills without heading to the post office or elsewhere to buy a money order or cashier's checkboth of which cost money. And you can cash your paychecks without paying fees to a check-cashing company.
- Keep good records. With a checking account, you have an official record of every purchase you make with the account, as well as money you receive and deposit. This can come in handy when crafting a budget, preparing for taxes or as proof of payment. Each month youll get a statement tallying every purchase youve made.
Most banks and credit unions offer a variety of checking account options. Some are free and others carry a monthly fee. Often the free checking requires that a minimum balance be maintained.
Pay particularly close attention to the additional fees that a bank may charge. The charges are generally smallfrom 10 cents to several dollars, but they add up. Here are some of the most common fees:
- Check Fees. Banks sometimes charge a small fee for each check you write. Some accounts will allow a certain amount for free each month, and then charge for any above that amount.
- Balance Inquiry Fees. Some institutions charge you to find out how much money you have in your account.
- ATM Fees. If you withdraw cash from an ATM owned by a bank other than your own, your bank could charge you (for a withdrawal outside the system) while the other bank charges you for not being one of their customers.
- Overdraft Fees. These are fees banks charge customers who withdraw money from an ATM or make a debit card purchase that exceeds the balance in their account. Under a new law that took effect July 1, 2010, consumers must opt for this service to be charged overdraft fees.
Checking accounts can also earn you money. Some offer interest, just like savings accounts. These can be particularly beneficial if you plan on maintaining a large balance.
How do Banks and Credit Unions Differ?
At one time, credit unions specialized primarily in low-interest loans and savings accounts, but not other services. But most have increased their range of services offered, with many now offering checking accounts, credit cards, student loans and mortgages. Some people opt to maintain savings accounts with credit unions, since they tend to offer higher interest rates, and a checking account with a traditional bank to ensure they have greater accessibility to ATMs and more. Deciding which type of institution will work best for you is a personal choice. Here are some of the main differences:
- Generally run by a group of investors with capital
- For profit
- Federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
- May offer greater accessibility and a wider range of services
- Democratically controlled by members
- Not for profit
- Insured by the National Credit Union Administration
- May offer lower-cost services and higher interest rates on savings

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great lure. My only complaint is that I wish they would put a swivel in between the hook & the head because it would prevent line twist. Not a big deal, you can do it at home, like I do.
From: Justis: OH 8/11/16
Comments: this little swim/chatter jig is great...did I mention little,this thing is tiny...BUT WAAAAY DEADLY!!!!! Don't be fooled by its size,it's deff. a keeper
From: Steveo
Comments: No need for a long review best chatter bait ever!!!!!!
From: Dave: Wilmington,IL U.S.
Comments: Just recieved my tackle warehouse order and I purchased one of these in the white chart color and this thing is amazing especially in high pressures lakes because its something the fish have never seen before. A+++
From: CJ: PA
Comments: very good, as demonstrated by the people trying to get their hands on these. I like to change up the jig skirt with other pastics texas rigged for a diif look.
From: Mike: LA
Comments: This is actually a well designed, effective lure. Pointless speculation aside, having actually used this bait, I am impressed. It really should be considered to be of a distinct genre from other, more prototypical bladed-jigs. The transparent bill caters well to high-visibility conditions, with it's lack of inherent flash serving to subdue it's visual presence. It is also an excellent choice for lift-drop / slow-rolling retrieves. You can really slow down and saturate and area with this thing. And, with it's up-turned bill, fishing this guy fast enough to break the surface makes for a very unique wake-bait. There are, of course, many other applications. At the very least, it should be considered an alternative option when bladed-jigs, swim-jigs, or any other horizontal offering is called for, affording a unique action and distinct displacement signature. As for it's durability quotient... it has tangled with quite a few large fish, without a single failure. Really is an excellent bait. Try it.
Comments: Hey guys I had the opportunity to test this on the Potomac river all summer and fall. It works really well as a finesse chatter bait or a change of pace when everyone is throwing chatter baits you can clean up after them!! Must have for your tool box!! I cant wait for this spring when you have them swiping at you bait when the standard hook chatter bait will miss the treble on will get them! Good Luck everyone
From: Josh: Camden, DE
Comments: I have been looking forward to this lure. I have several in my box and I can't wait to toss it come spring time. Not all "chatter" baits are created equal. I look forward to seeing the action. I also like the clear "lip" and the realistic head, more then I do the original chatter bait. By way of quality and design, this is a Ferrari, the original chatter bait is a honda civic. TBD
From: Peter: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: this is a very interesting swim jig, it runs great and doesn't hang up like I thought it would. The water was in the 40s so I just threw it to see how it ran but still caught 2 fish in the 1-11/2lb range. Great bait and will be buying more soon, should be a killer this spring.
From: Jonathon, TN

The Emery County Sheriff's Office was involved in a recovery operation for two males in a helicopter on April 7.
The pair was reported missing and a search ensued. The Grand County Sheriff's Office contacted Emery County to let them know it was believed the helicopter was in Emery County.
The pair from Washington County and Beaver County were reported to have been collecting shed horns.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said, "We are going into retrieve the bodies. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined and has been turned over to the FAA. The two occupants of the helicopter were located where Range Creek drops down into the Green River. The Utah Highway patrol chopper located the wreckage. We heard a ping, but we could not see the wreckage. Several deputies are going into the area right now."
The two occupants were reported overdue on April 6. The helicopter and occupants left the area of Green River on April 6, at approximately 11:15 a.m. The helicopter was reported overdue at approximately 8 p.m. on Sunday. The Department of Public Safety was contacted at that time and flew in their helicopter to assist in the search. The DPS helicopter flew Sunday evening using their FLIR (forward looking infrared) to aid in that search. The search went until approximately midnight and resumed again Monday morning.
Sheriff Funk said the helicopter was a R-22. Pilot Robin Francis Venuti-38 yrs, from Washington and passenger Albert Munoz Rubio-36 yrs, from Beaver were killed in the crash.

Late Friday night, June 6, 2008, my friend Elizabeth "Lisette" Marie Columbo Johnson lost her fight with ovarian cancer. She was only 56 yo. I meet her in the OR where she was a surgical nurse. I loved working with her. She was good -- as a person, at her job, to the patients, to her colleagues. She was beautiful. She was so full of life and shared her passions with us in stories. (photo credit)
She loved that I had named my dog Columbo. "That's my maiden name." She would often ask about him and my other dogs. She had a black Labrador when we first met so we shared many dog stories. At some point a roadrunner took up residency near her home. The bird would visit her deck. She brought in pictures of the roadrunner just sitting on a deck chair for us.
She loved to travel (India, Russia, Africa). I loved her travel stories and pictures. I would have loved to have been a team member with her on "Amazing Race". She would have made me more adventurous.
From her obituary:
Lisette was born in Darby, PA and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. She spent most of her career as a surgical nurse in Dallas and Little Rock. In Dallas she was active in charity work and was a past Chairman of the Multiple Sclerosis Society's Yellow Rose Gala.
She was an avid outdoors enthusiast, animal advocate, sporting clay shooter, traveler and mah-jongg player.
She touched the lives of many and was an inspiration to us all. She will be dearly missed. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund or the ASPCA.

|In response to Re: Running water line from road
What??? You want running water, too???
: : Hello. We are currently building a log home on 11 acres. We need to run water line from the road to the building site, roughly 550 feet. We hope to trench it in ourselves to save some money. The water company wants $1850 for a 3/4" tap-on, or $2200 for a 1". I have several questions: one, what is the advantage of the 1" tap-on over the 3/4" and is it worth the extra $350? Two, based on your recommendation of tap-on size, what size and material of water line would you suggest? We like good water pressure, and I guess we are moderate water users, not a lot of lawn watering, no swimming pool. I would appreciate any insights you might have in the best way to trench the line in also. You really provide an excellent service to the community in general; were we building in your neck of the woods you would have another gig and we would have a first-rate plumber. Thanks again.

Stage 4,
February 23, 2012
I wish this meant I was going to appear in some big production in front of large groups of people but it doesn't. This refers to stage 4-cancer. There is a lady that attends my church that just found out that the lump found on her lung was malignant. We thought nothing of it in the beginning when it was first discovered but now it has really touched home. I just want you to keep this lady in your prayers. She hasn't decided whether or not she wants to undergo chemo because of her age. I want to stay in good spirits because I know she is. She has an amazing heart and she is loved by many. I pray for strength daily but I would give anything to give her a healthy lung. Thank you so much for this...I know that God is listening and it's in his hands now :)

Sergio Rossi Floral Platform Sandal
"This shoe is divine! It is easy to walk in and very comfortable to wear. A very solid and sturdy shoe. I always order 1/2 size larger with Sergio and that works out perfectly. The embossing is only on one of the shoes, just so you know. Not a problem for me but I was surprised when I saw only one shoe had the emboss after I recieved them. Only thing for me was that I have to have the straps stretched because they aren't long enough to get around my ankles. I love them too much to return them so it's worth it to me. LOVE these shoes! Enjoy. ;-)"

"These shoes are absolutely gorgeous! I ordered them in nude and they arrived just in time for my event. I received several compliments (from women!) and they gave my dress the "umph" it needed. The heel is high so they become uncomfortable after a while but the pain is worth it. Great purchase!"

These Shoes Rock!
"First and foremost, they DO have an expiration time but while you are wearing them, they are the best! They fit just right and I received compliments from everyone based on pictures alone but in person they were even better. I wore these with a long gown and they still stole the show!"

Purchased in the beige/rose gold
"I LOVE THESE SHOES!! they have a nice sparkle, not like a tacky "glitter" at all. The criss cross ankle strap is angled so it doesn't cut your leg weird and make it look chunkier like some ankle straps do. I purchased the shoe in a wide, which I needed, and it makes the part near the base of your toes way more comfortable. The platform part gives you height without too much of a slanted foot so that makes it comfy too. Had I known they came in black too, I would've gotten those as well. Hopefully they are still available after I get my return :-)"

Bittersweet Confections is a chocolate truffle company that also supplies upscale catering to the Quincy, Illinois region. Chef Michael Mitchell got the idea for his chocolates when a cigar and a bar of chocolate shared the same space in a sock drawer. Strangely, the half smoked cigar infused the chocolate with its aroma and gave it an amazing flavor. Michael had made his truffles for various restaurants and employers before deciding to create his own line of confections. His desire for comfort foods comes in contact with his love for the culinary arts. The chef claims to be a hardworking family man first and foremost, but makes time from the daily grind to experiment with new flavors and infusions for his line of "less talk, more action" chocolate truffles.

Gas analysis module suitable for applications in explosive areas
Witt Gas Controls offers a gas analysis module with the new Gas Control 50 digital control unit for quality assurance for plants that mix or process gas. The unit enables users to monitor permanently the composition of the most common gas mixtures.
In addition to gas analysis, the digital controller also will be employed as a control and analysis unit in the company's other products in the future.
The gas analysis system is suitable for applications in explosive areas, such as where hydrogen is processed. The gas analysis variant planned for these options is twofold, with the gas control unit being located outside of the danger zone.
All variants feature intuitive controls through a multicolor touchscreen, the content of which can be configured individually and multilingually. Granting access authorizations allows for multiple user levels.
An integrated circular buffer records all user inputs and measuring results, which can subsequently be processed on a computer. Initial analysis results, including trend calculations, can be called up on the device display and presented graphically.
The USB interface enables an easy transfer of stored data. The Ethernet interface enables a remote control and data access thanks to the integrated browser-based Web Vision software.

Scarlets have named their side for the PRO12 clash with the Ospreys at Liberty Stadium on Boxing Day, with Jonathan Davies skippering.
Scarlets have named their side for the PRO12 clash with the Ospreys at Liberty Stadium on Boxing Day, with Jonathan Davies leading the region.
The hosts are facing quick turnaround from their battle on Friday at Cardiff Blues, while the Ospreys have had more rest time, not having played since their success over Toulouse.
Scarlets make four personnel changes to the starting XV that was victorious at the Arms Park with Aled Davies getting a start back at scrum-half; former Osprey Kristian Phillips comes onto the wing, Matthew Rees starts at hooker and Jake Ball comes in at lock alongside George Earle.
The Ospreys host the Scarlets with a strong home record behind them this season having been victorious in their last seven games at Liberty Stadium. The Ospreys have won their last five clashes with fellow Welsh regions.
"This game marks the start of a very busy month for the Ospreys and it's crucial that we perform consistently, putting in top level performances in every single game now so that we can push for a top four spot in the PRO12 and the knockouts in Europe," said Ospreys boss Steve Tandy.
"This is the type of game that everybody wants to be involved in so training has been full on this week, which is great when you are a coach. We've got three big games in nine days so the challenge for us is to make sure the team is properly prepared for each one, and that will mean making a few changes along the way to keep people fresh and to give us the best chance of getting the performance levels in that we'll need if we are going to get the result we want from these games.
"After Boxing Day we go to the Dragons and then we play Zebre at the Liberty on 4th January in another crucial home game and we know that we have to be at our very best for each game if we want to move into the top four and stay there.
"With the biggest crowd in two years already confirmed for Boxing Day we know that there's going to be a great atmosphere, which is fantastic. It'll be pretty special, we've got good memories of playing the Scarlets at Christmas at the Liberty and it's up to these boys to make their own history this week.
"We know that they'll come here confident after winning at the Blues last week, they are a very dangerous team so we will have to be at our best if we are going to send our supporters home with the best Christmas present they could ask for."
The teams:
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Ross Jones, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i (capt), 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 James King, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Cai Griffiths, 19 Lloyd Peers, 20 Morgan Allen, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Tom Isaacs.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies (capt), 12 Scott Williams, 11 Kristian Phillips, 10 Aled Thomas, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Kieran Murphy, 7 Aaron Shingler, 6 Josh Turnbull, 5 George Earle, 4 Jake Ball, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Emyr Phillips, 17 Shaun Hopkins, 18 Jacobie Adriaanse, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Rob McCusker, 21 Tavis Knoyle, 22 Gareth Owen, 23 Gareth Maule.

McKinnon and Ruble Families Papers
Previously on exhibit in the Special Collections Reading Room. Now, presented here as a web exhibit.
In 2004, the McKinnon family donated the McKinnon and Ruble Familes Papers to Special Collections, University Library. The papers focus on Aloysius John McKinnon, M.D. (1870-1933), a physician and rancher in the California Delta region during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the Ruble family, Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ruble McKinnon's (1875-1916) family; their children; and their Rio Vista, California family home and ranch near the Sacramento River. The bulk of the papers spans the years 1873 to 1989 and includes correspondence, photographs, ranch records, medical practice records, medical equipment, and a family library.
More information about the McKinnon and Ruble Families Papers may be found in the collection finding aid (http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt087017c9) which is available on the Online Archive of California.
In 1870, Aloysius J. McKinnon was born in San Francisco. During the 1890s, he served with the California National Guard and joined his family's well-established San Francisco lumber and shipping business, MacDonald and McKinnon. In 1900, while studying at the University of California, Medical Department, he married "Lizzie" Ruble of Rio Vista. For the next four years, the newlyweds lived in an apartment in San Francisco's Mission District. Aloysius McKinnon received his medical degree in 1903.

Examples of A. J. McKinnon's medical school notes, 1900-1903.
In 1904, A. J. and Lizzie McKinnon relocated from San Francisco to Rio Vista, where Dr. McKinnon practiced medicine from his Front Street office and later from an office in his home. As a physician practicing in rural Solano and Sacramento counties during the 1900s to 1930s, Dr. McKinnon was required to know something about all aspects of medicine from lab work to obstetrics and from surgery to psychology. The McKinnon Ruble Familes Papers contain appointment and account books that record information about Dr. McKinnon's expenses, patients, office visits, and house calls. Also in the collection are examples of early twentieth-century medical supplies, equipment, and ephemera.
At the time of her marriage to A. J. McKinnon in 1900, Lizzie Ruble, her brother William (1877-1917), and their half-sister Mabel (1885-1959), were the three surviving heirs to the estate of their twice-widowed father Lewis Cass Ruble (1848-1899). L. C. Ruble settled in Rio Vista circa 1870. His landholdings became the basis for the Ruble-McKinnon Ranch, which was located on the eastern bank of the Sacramento River, on Brannan Island, across from the town of Rio Vista. The ranch produced alfalfa, asparagus, barley, and potatoes, but was especially known for its pears. After L. C. Ruble's death, his son William maintained the ranch. As William's health failed, circa 1905-1910, A. J. McKinnon took over management of the ranch.

Letter concerning sale of horse, William Ruble to A. J. McKinnon, Feb. 19, 1910.
Transcription of letter
Feb. 19, 1910
Dear Al:
Your letter pertaining to the sale of the horse was rec'd this noon, as I went out collecting the first thing this morning and was unable to get this off on the 10:30 boat. will take it down and send it off on the 4:30 however.
Now in regard to that horse being worth $1000, it all depends on how he sized up and whether that founder hurt him any; but this was my impression that he should bring that amount however I may be wrong and expect too much for him. However Kirby is away off himself with that $350 offer and intends no doubt making the bulk for himself or a good piece of money at all events. I also realize that the Ruble Estate is not in the horse business. Any amount ranging around $500 would be pretty good dope to take, as he may die on your hands any day and besides the horse business is not good at the best. I would suggest however that should Harry Beguhl want the horse that it would be best to give him the preference as he took care of him when he was on my hands during that flood. At all events I think it a good idea to get rid of him and anything you do will be all OK with me although I think Kirby has a few cards up his sleeve. It would not be a bad idea to get the opinion of some of those horsemen around town—Hardy Holmes for instance has pretty good judgment in these matters.
Yes I am feeling a whole lot better than I did at 110 lbs. I can eat good and handle what I eat just like a baby…
Give my love to Sis and spank that kid for me. Love also to Mabel and the rest of your family. With best wishes from all of us, I am as ever,
Yours Truly,
From 1901 to 1915, Aloysius and Lizzie McKinnon had six children: Lewis Ruble, Louise Isabelle, Ralph A., Malcolm Bernard, Donald Aloysius, and Kenneth Leo. Following Lizzie's death in 1916, her half-sister, Mabel, assumed responsibility for the care and upbringing of the children. Dr. McKinnon continued to practice medicine, manage the Ruble-McKinnon Ranch, and tend to his family. As the McKinnon children reached adulthood, they, like their father, chose careers in medicine and agriculture.
Letter from A. J. McKinnon to his son, Malcolm McKinnon, April 10, 1931
Transcription of letter
Ro Vista, April 10, 1931
Dear Malcolm,
Am afraid I will have to ask a favor if it is possible for you to do it. I notice in last evening's Bee that there is 6 inches of snow at the summit where there should be 6 ft. Now that means that we are going to have salt water early this year and I am afraid very early.
I intended waiting until you graduated but am afraid I cannot. Would it be possible for you to cut your morning work for Friday April 24th? If so, you could come home Thursday and work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of that weekend. I think in those 3 days you could construct the furrows and get the water started so that Hoy could continue the process.
I may be pessimistic but the above seems to me to be the only way we can use our irrigation system this year and the trees will sure need it because there has been so little rain this year…
…Write and let me know what you can do and if you require a written excuse I will write you a dozen of them.
I think I will require you those 3 days because I have a plan of irrigation that I cannot carry out because Hoy would not understand and the only way is to show him how it works. Besides that I do not know if it will work or not so I need you help…
Your Dad
Excerpt from Sept. 3, 1944 letter to Malcolm McKinnon from Donald McKinnon, who was stationed in the South Pacific.
"…How is everything back home? You are probably more busy than I because just now we are waiting for some time when they will need us. Apparently it isn't in the immediate future. No doubt it will be influenced by the course of the war. We are theoretically trained and so now we just brush up on phases of training which we feel we need. No doubt our first combat will reveal many rough spots. The medical dept. never gets a real workout till we reach combat…"
After his father's death in 1933, Malcolm Bernard McKinnon (1910-1982) left medical school at Columbia University in New York to return to the family home in Rio Vista, where he managed the Ruble-McKinnon Ranch until its sale in 1980.
Donald Aloysius McKinnon (1913-1978) served as a physician with the U.S. Navy during the Second World War. Both he and his wife, Eleanor Rodgerson, practiced medicine in Sacramento. Special Collections also holds the Eleanor Rodgerson Papers (https://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/dept/specol/collections/manuscripts/?collection=658).
Kenneth Leo McKinnon (1915-2003) served as a dentist with the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany. He established a dental practice in San Rafael, California.
In the early 1920s, Lewis Ruble McKinnon (1901-1956) studied agriculture at the University Farm (now UC Davis). Beginning in the late 1920s, he pursued tobacco planting and production in Haiti.
Louise Isabelle McKinnon Craven (1903-1991) studied nursing at the UC Medical Department in San Francisco. In 1931, Louise and her brother Malcolm sailed from San Francisco to New York, where she would work as a private nurse and he would study medicine.
With the 1980 sale of the Ruble-McKinnon Ranch, the property passed from family hands after nearly one hundred years. Aloysius John McKinnon kept detailed ranch accounts. His son, Malcolm, continued the tradition of maintaining meticulous records. The McKinnon Family saved their ranch records along with groups of correspondence, notes, legal and financial documents, photographs, printed materials, artifacts, and ephemera. Now accessible at Special Collections in the Library, the McKinnon Ruble Families Papers present researchers with significant information on subjects including local history and the history of agriculture, medicine, and photography.

Posted on 01/05/2007 5:13:20 PM PST by Fred Nerks
A dangerous divide is forcing Australian Muslims to abandon their homes, says Sydney cleric Feiz Mohamed in Lebanon reports Middle East correspondent Martin Chulov ----------
AUSTRALIA'S most influential firebrand cleric feels like an alien in his own country. And Sheik Feiz Mohamed is not alone. He believes a rising anti-Islamic tide has made Muslims wary of their countrymen, forcing at least eight families to abandon their homeland for the Middle East. From the foothills of his ancestral village in north Lebanon, the man with the most sway over the nation's Islamic youth says five years into the war on terror a dangerous divide exists here.
In a rare interview, Feiz, an Australian citizen, says he is apprehensive about returning home after spending more than 12 months in Lebanon caring for his ailing father.
"Imagine me going to the Opera House and taking photos," he says. "I can't walk through the airport without hundreds of eyes on me. They are like foxes trying to eat sheep.
"Before I left I was at a restaurant in Sutherland (in southern Sydney) with my wife, eating spaghetti, and we were like aliens from Mars. I said, 'Let's get out of here'.
"We are just human beings. I am not saying Australia is negative or not good, I am saying it has changed.
"There are about seven or eight families who have left in the last few months and many more who are planning to go."
(Excerpt) Read more at theaustralian.news.com.au ...
Cry me a river.
Meanwhile if I were found heading into Mecca I could be killed for it under the laws of Saudi Arabia.
too bad he doesn't believe inifdels are human beings.
Yeah, sucks to be a devil-inspired death cultist.
One needs to develop a legal framework for stripping citizenship even from born citizens.
Well, they do in Saudi Arabia but I don't know if we want to be like them.
Reap and sow!!
Is he the only one who cant figure out why no one trusts Muslims?
It's called assimilation, or "when in Rome, do as the Romans". If you cant adjust to the native culture, go somewhere else.
More good news from Down Under!
Clerics still preaching hatred of West
Richard Kerbaj
MUSLIM clerics in Sydney and Melbourne - led by radicals Sheik Mohammed Omran and Sheik Abdul Salam Mohammed Zoud - are still preaching hatred against the West, urging followers in Arabic to resist peace and support insurgents waging war against Australian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In open defiance of John Howard's proposed new terror laws and the Prime Minister's demand that Muslim leaders desist from inflammatory rhetoric, Lakemba cleric Sheik Zoud has used his Friday prayer meetings over the past month to praise Muslim fighters.
"Allah yinsur el-mujaheddin fe-Iraq (God grant victory to the mujaheddin in Iraq)," he repeatedly screamed during a 35-minute Arabic sermon at Lakemba's Haldon Street prayer hall in Sydney's southwest last week.
In further contempt of Mr Howard, Sheik Zoud's high-profile counterpart in Melbourne, Sheik Omran, also declared last month: "No victory (for Islam's brothers and sisters) can be stopped by George Bush or Tony Blair or John Howard."
Depends on how it is done, I suppose - like observance of property rights etc. Even in democratic Athens they used to have "ostracism".
boo hoo
then do more of this type of justice. Remember that word?
Or maybe like cats going after raw, uncovered meat? Maybe this guy should cover himself when he goes out in public so as to prevent tempting others to stare.
Jesus... The media just shills for these people. It's sickening!
This article is outrageous. I'm convinced that if you are pi**ing off a muslim, you are doing something right.
Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe the guy is still in Lebanon.
Hope he stays.
Look what the terrorists did to you.
Criticize THEM.
EXCELLENT! Do not despise the day of small beginnings.
That's a good start. Don't give up there, Australia!
It works!
Well Feiz, it seems to me that you and your pals should have stood up and joined the good guys a long time ago.
So, it just plain sucks to be you, huh....(yawn).
Typical Muslim egotism and BS. I hope he gets out and stays out
I have friends who are Lebanese and Iranian/Armenian muslims. They visit both places as and when necessary. They do not see the tribal antagonisms and violence there the same way that we (European Americans) do - its pretty much an accepted part of life.
BUT they are damn happy to get back here and they do NOT feel any apprehension in returning no matter how long they've been gone.
you have to read it several times...he was speaking from Lebanon. The muslim Lebanese are the greatest pack of whingers on this planet, most of them have dual citizenship, they collect welfare payments from Australia and live in Lebanon. Their 'youths' roam in packs in Sydney - for example:
Tim Priest: Dont turn a blind eye to terror in our midst
Great Article!
Only the illogic of Islam could come up with a steaming pile like this.
So don't come to me now because you are the majority or you are in the power now to say to me, "Well, this is only my way or the highway". I won't accept that.
Isn't this what Islam is telling the rest of the world?
that's probably because the islamofascist imam hadn't got to them in time to tell them what to say and think...
most of them hold dual citizenship...
No you are not...you are Muslims!
funny, I don't see it that way, Martin Chulov for the Australian newspaper (Rupert Murdoch) writes the content of the interview and allows us to make up our own minds. The kicker is in the following statement...we recognise the implication - it's blackmail:
He says he and the nation's two other fundamental clerics - Sheik Mohammed Omran in Melbourne and Sydney's Sheik Abdul Salem Mohammed Zoud - offered a guarantee to safeguard their homeland from radicalism and the anger of Muslim youth that simmers over "the evil ways of the American regime".
Drop into pond full of adult 'Salties' that haven't fed in 3 months. If they make it to the other side, they get to stay...
Or they can just refuse the test and get a one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia...
Good news for Australia. Keep up the good work, guys.
Or, you might simply be breathing and walking around minding your own business.

Preserving The
Islamic Identity in The West
Threats & Solutions
It is therefore unavoidable that as long as we live here we will, through a process of cultural osmosis, take on some of the characteristics of the Kuffar. The likeness of Islam and Kuffar is like that o f fresh clear spring water and water brought up from the bottom of a suburban sewer. If even a drop of the filthy water enters the clear water, the clarity diminishes. Likewise it only takes a drop of the filth of disbelief to contaminate Islam in the West. If we have it within our means we should therefore consider moving to a Muslim land whereby we can at least live amongst our brethren and within an Islamic society free from the contamination of the disbelievers.

Fraser was warned on LebaneseBy Matthew Franklin
January 01, 2007
IMMIGRATION authorities warned the Fraser government in 1976 it was accepting too many Lebanese Muslim refugees without "the required qualities" for successful integration.
The Fraser cabinet was also told many of the refugees were unskilled, illiterate and had questionable character and standards of personal hygiene.
Cabinet documents released today by the National Archives under the 30-year rule reveal how Australia's decision to accept thousands of Lebanese Muslims fleeing Lebanon's 1976 civil war led to a temporary collapse of normal eligibility standards.
The emergence of the documents raises the question of whether the temporary relaxation might have contributed to contemporary racial tensions in Sydney's southwest, which exploded a year ago into race-based riots in Cronulla...
Here in the States, we have laws against inciting riots or advocating the violent overthrow of the government. Have anything similar Down Under?
How can we replicate this in the U.S?
Send the muzzies to sand-land where they belong and send some courage up here so we start doing the same. Think it could be secretly added to the Fosters? I doubt that enough of us eat Vegemite to make a difference.
The protesting cab drivers and irate imams here in the west are political animals, they'd be outraged democrats if their folks had been Lutheran.
Our problem is that we have given them and the socialists that quietly or openly support them a free pass to do so.......no body has as yet slapped them up'side the face!
[mexican aliens get the same freebies - with similar results]
There are muslims here in the US who accept all of our precepts except for support to Israel and they are part of the same society as you, me, Robert Byrd, and Jerry Falwell - the only one in that list I agree with is - me.
For my part, I'd level every mosque on the continent and I'd deport any islamist cabbie who had rejected a sober & nonbelligerent customer.
But - the point of my reply - being afraid to return to the US is NOT typical of muslim travelers.
Please do not reply, I've seen too many of your posts and should have noted the personality rather than the content of the post.
Haven't experienced anything yet that makes me even think about it...one does need a permit to stage a demonstration, and the police are all over it. Our security services (ASIO) are keeping their eyes on the trouble makers, several of whom are under house arrest, many are in jail awaiting trial. Remember, out of 20 million Australians, we only have some 350,000 muslims, and the new laws in place for intending immigrants are very tight.
The government has been very quietly deporting non-citizens to their home countries...
Aside from the '4,000 Youth Group Members' that the Lebanese are threatening us with, who are mostly welfare recipient gang members dealing drugs and stealing cars, or harrassing locals (when they aren't being locked up for 45 years for taking part in pack-rapes...) we seem to have a good handle on things.
Their numbers are still too small for 'riots or advocating the violent overthrow of the government' - they have to make do with being a pain in the A$$ and insulting us at every opportunity. (We give back good or better than, we aren't at all PC.)
Over-all, the clerics and the loudmouths have made a laughing stock of themselves. I'll post a few more links to bring you up to date on the wonderful world of islam in Oz.
Australia Police Arrested 17 Terror Suspects In Raids
By Robert Raffaele
Washington, DC
08 November 2005
Police in Australia say they have foiled a plot to carry out a major terror attack, following the arrest of 17 men in raids in Australia's two largest cities. A radical Muslim cleric known for praising Osama bin Laden is among the captured suspects. He is charged with masterminding the plot. VOA's Robert Raffaele has more.
More than 500 police were involved in raids across Sydney and Melbourne. Eight men were arrested in Sydney, another nine in Melbourne. Authorities seized weapons, computers, chemicals, and backpacks.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Ken Moroney said possible bomb-making materials were found. Prosecutors say the items are similar to those used in July's terror attacks in London.
"The linkages appeared to be common in the sense of the chemicals that appeared to have been used in London and the chemicals which we will allege were being gathered, or being sought, here both in New South Wales and Victoria."
Prosecutors say the suspects are committed to violent jihad against Australians.
Supporters of the suspects clashed with television cameramen outside courthouses in Melbourne and Sydney, and
Rob Starry, an attorney for eight of the Melbourne suspects, said they were not charged with terrorism. "Although it's been suggested that they've been charged in the planning and preparation of a terrorist offense, that's not reflected in these charges, and it's not reflected in the interrogations that we know so far."
One of the Melbourne suspects is the alleged mastermind, Abu Bakr, an Algerian-Australian Muslim cleric who has been quoted as saying he would violate his faith if he did not encourage his students to join the jihad, or holy war, in Iraq.
Australia has never been hit by a major terror attack, but its citizens have been targeted overseas, particularly in neighboring Indonesia, where dozens of Australians have been killed in bomb blasts since 2002.
Last week, Prime Minister John Howard rushed through Parliament an amendment to terror laws he said would strengthen police powers to arrest anyone plotting attacks.
Melbourne police say those new powers allowed them to carry out Tuesday's raids.
One of the Melbourne suspects is the alleged mastermind, Abu Bakr, an Algerian-Australian Muslim cleric who has been quoted as saying he would violate his faith if he did not encourage his students to join the jihad, or holy war, in Iraq.
According to published sources, we have about 1.5 million muslims in the US out of a total population of about 300 million, or about 0.5%. This is actually a smaller proportion than the 1.75% you stated for Oz. However, they are plenty loud and plenty obnoxious when they are in groups!
You mean you "Skips" actually deport people?
OK, don't get your knickers twisted, that's the line I responded to, I didn't realize you were referring to the UNITED STATES, the article I posted relates to AUSTRALIA! And so do my replies...now, as to my personality, what's THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? I rarely make personal comments. I post information. With sources.

Claudia Borella's work is characterised by its precision and crisp geometrical form and decoration. It has drawn critical attention since she first began exhibiting in Australia in 1993.
This elongated open bowl form, made of kiln-formed, red, black, blue and cream laminated glass, reflects Borella's industrial design background and the technical rigour developed while she was artist-in-residence at the American Bullseye Glass Company studio in Portland, Oregon, in 1998. The finely-balanced linear form and striking use of laminates of opaque glass are authoritative and confident, on a scale that suggests an architectural presence. Borella's use of materials and colours evokes the ebullience and visual drama of Italian design of the 1950s.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

3rd Monday after Pascha
The Gospel according to John 4:46-54
At that time, there was an official whose son was ill. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe." The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living. So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household. This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
