I loosened up as I gained experience, and while I still follow recipes for baking, most of my main dishes are off the top of my head. I keep a running tally of what's in my cupboards, my freezer, and my vegetable drawer. I walk the dogs in the afternoon and daydream about what I'd like for dinner. Most of the time I can make it happen, but when things don't work out I usually learn something new.
As the weather warms up, my urge to clean includes emptying my cupboards of all the dried beans, rice, nuts, and pasta I bought in bulk and neglected. Soon it will be all I can do to keep up with local produce, so it's time to use up what I've got in storage.
Vegetable and bean soup is one of those easy, versatile dishes I can whip up with basic ingredients and almost no planning. It lets me finish off vegetables that are on their last legs, and the seasoning can go in any direction. Rather than give you a recipe (I'm sure you've got several!), I'll share my fast-and-loose method for vegetable soup.
Here is last night's dinner. It contained: olive oil
minced garlic
chopped carrots
cooked, cubed sweet potato
cooked black beans
vegetable broth
chili powder
bay leaves
chopped tomatoes
I sautéed the vegetables first in olive oil, then added black beans and broth a cup at a time until the soup looked right. For the seasoning, I used the time-honored technique of add—stir—taste—repeat until the soup tasted right. I let it simmer for 20 or 30 minutes, adding the tomatoes toward the end. Voilà, soup!
Topped with sliced avocado and lime juice, it was deliciously sweet and earthy. Fresh cilantro would have been good, as would bell peppers and coconut milk, but this was a no shopping meal, and the soup was fine without (though I liked the combination of black beans, sweet potato, and cumin enough that I'm going to keep working with it, and maybe create a new recipe).
This is the way I cook all summer, when dinner is as simple as washing and chopping vegetables from our CSA and tossing them with beans and grains from the cupboard. In summer I like to use fresh herbs, but I'm limited to dried in winter. Unless I'm testing a recipe, I wing it, going wherever my taste buds take me. I rely on the following guidelines:
For Italian-style soups, I use:
• oregano
• basil
• thyme
• garlic
• cumin
• oregano
• garlic
• chili peppers (fresh, dried, or ground)
• lime juice Indian:
• cumin
• coriander
• turmeric
• ginger
• cinnamon
• chili peppers (fresh, dried, or ground)
• lemon juice Thai:
• ginger (freshly grated)
• garlic
• coconut milk
• chili peppers (fresh or dried)
• peanuts or peanut butter
• kaffir lime leaves (or plain old lime juice) Thanksgiving at Grandma's:
• thyme
• sage
• bay leaves Vegetables, beans, and grains have flavors of their own; I strive for a balance between hot and creamy, sweet and sour, fresh and savory. These combinations have worked for me: • winter squash, black beans, Mexican, Indian, or Thai seasoning
• chickpeas or cannellini beans, tomatoes, chopped kale, chard, or spinach, Italian seasoning
• leeks, potatoes, wild rice, garlic, Thanksgiving at Grandma's seasoning The possibilities are endless, and soup is hard to mess up (just beware of red cabbage and beets: they turn everything magenta).
Which dishes do you like to make without a recipe?

Psalm 14
David says, The fool has said in his heart, there is no God—Israel will rejoice in the day of restoration.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

Editor's Note: This is the first story of a three-part series highlighting the history of Standley Lake Regional Park in Westminster. The second story will focus on recreation, followed by education in the third story.
Known for its beautiful scenery and unlimited outdoor activities, the state of Colorado is a place where people from all over the world choose to spend their free time. And for Westminster residents, there's a place right in their backyards that provides ample opportunities to enjoy the views and fun of Colorado.
Standley Lake Regional Park is set on the edge of Westminster and occupies 5 square miles. The park is bordered by 100th Avenue on the north, 86th Parkway on the south, Independence and Kipling streets on the east and Alkire Street on the west.
The park features 2,300-acre Standley Lake, the city's largest body of water and source of water, as well as a variety of land-based activities such as hiking, bicycling, camping and wildlife viewing. The reservoir, which is the third largest in the Denver metro area, offers fishing, sailing, kayaking and power-boating activities, including water skiing and tubing.
Although the park is now a popular place for fisherman and water-sports enthusiasts, it's taken years to develop Standley Lake Regional Park into the gem it is today.
Owned and operated by the city of Westminster, the area of the park was first homesteaded by John Kinnear around 1870. According to the city's website, in 1902 Thomas Croke, Ottawa Joseph Standley and Milton Smith teamed up to create the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company in an effort to develop a system of canals and reservoirs that would provide water to the farm country north and northwest of Westminster. Construction of the reservoir and the dam begin in 1908.
On Sept. 7, 1911, a dedication ceremony took place for the new Standley Lake dam, which is a mile long, and Colorado dignitaries from around the state came to celebrate the completion of the project. The lake was filled with water from Clear Creek, Coal Creek, Ralston Creek and Leyden Creek. The dam was completed in 1909, and many years later, in 1963, the city enlarged the dam by adding 12,000 acre-feet of water for a total storage capacity of 42,000 acre-feet.
By 1998 Standley Lake was designated as a regional park and improvements on the park continued. Mark Reddinger, lake operations coordinator, also came on board that year. He said that when he arrived, the only "building" that stood in the park was a small trailer that served as an office during the summer months. He had a lot of work ahead of him.
"What's been great for me is to be part of actually starting a park because there were no buildings, no designated campground and really no programming for the community," he said. "So I was able to help design the campground and all of our facility buildings."
Reddinger said that over the years, the Standley Lake dam acquired damage and cracks and was at one point, considered one of the top 10 most dangerous dams in the nation. He said some improvements were made in the 1960s, but the biggest upgrade came in 2003 when construction began to strengthen the dam and improve the spill way.
"There was a new outlet structure built and new piping done at this time for water leaving to Big Dry Creek and to the cities of Thornton, Westminster and Northglenn," he said.
Under Reddinger's watchful eye, the campground was built and hundreds of trees were planted in the park. Reddinger said he's watched the camp come to life and become a place for people to escape the city lights and traffic, and enjoy the quiet of the outdoors. He said he's also enjoyed seeing the growth in programming opportunities for people in the community.
"We've really worked hard to improve our programs and make the park a place where people can come, not just for recreation, but for learning opportunities,' he said.
"We've also improved collaboration with our city departments and really making the park a unified department."

Where The Passion Comes From
Tom Cussen plays tenor banjo in one of Irelands leading traditional ceilí band Shaskeen which was formed in London in 1970. Irish Traditional Music was at it's peak in London at this time. Shaskeen restarted in Galway, Ireland in 1972 and in the next 10 years or so often played up to 6 nights a week with one night off to recover, if they were lucky.
Tom, a native of County Limerick, moved to Galway in 1967 when he was offered a job in the university as a trainee engineer. Shaskeen was reformed and they went on to record several albums in the 70s, 80s ninties & nouhgties.
Opening Clareen Banjos
Tom looked after his own banjo repairs and wanted to manufacture Irish Handcrafted Banjos, so he opened Clareen Banjos in the late 70s early 80s. It was and is still based in Clarinbridge, Co. Galway. Tom's passion for the banjo and his electro mechanical background has helped him to develop a range of banjos that uniquely compliment every level of playing skill.
The Family Business
Tom's son Fintan has worked in Clareen Banjos for the past 14 years. Together they have established Clareen Banjos as the leading manufacturer of banjos in Ireland. They are continuously working to bring new and innovative elements to their banjo to improve it's quality and tone/playability.
Clareen Banjos offers one-to-one personalized customer service to all of our customers in our Galway based workshop 6 days a week. Our opening hours are 9am to 5pm Mon/Fri & 10am to 2.30pm on Sat.
We have over 40 years experience and value each customer equally. Tom and Fintan are always at the end of the phone to help and advise customers.

Lorna Lorraine Fail Davis died on Nov. 20, 2007 in Paonia, Colo. after a mercifully short battle with cancer.
Lorna was born on April 28, 1929, daughter of Fred and Vila Fail, in Orangeville, Utah. She grew up there, graduating from South Emery High School and then attended LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was while working as a secretary for Hadley Transfer and Storage Company in Salt Lake that she met Donald Davis, a truck driver employed by Mayflower who decided on the spot that she was the only one for him.
Lorna and Don were married on June 9, 1956. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on Oct. 24, 1960. They made their home in the Salt Lake area until 1974 when they returned to Lorna's beloved Orangeville. Lorna and Don had only recently moved to Paonia, Colo. to be nearer to family members.
Lorna was very active in the LDS church, and with Don, served two LDS missions - a welfare mission to Deseret Industries in Burley, Idaho and a family history mission in Salt Lake City. She also worked for many years at the Emery County Courthouse in the Auditor's office. Lorna was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother whose greatest wish was that her family continues to love each other. They are all grateful she's been given the chance to return home with the parents and siblings she has missed so much.
Lorna is survived by her husband, Don Davis of Paonia, Colo.; daughter, Sharon (Scott) Morley, also of Paonia; son, Brent (Collette) Davis of Lehi, Utah; son, Garth (Debbie) Davis of Rock Springs, Wyo.; daughter, Jenny (Steven) Staheli of Goshen, Utah; 13, soon to be 14, grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Are the days of free-standing clickers numbered?
The Scholars received an interesting email yesterday from an instructor who asked:
"The days of free-standing clickers are numbered. Why buy extra hardware and software when most everyone already has what they need? (The makers of GPS receivers are learning the same lesson.) About a year ago I asked my students, Can you access the internet in this room right now? In a room of 40, all but 2 hands went up. Between smartphones, laptops, netbooks, tablets, and eReaders with web browsers, you're hard-pressed to find someone who can't access the internet if you provide them with wifi."
This is a very good question - why, indeed, would instructors ask their students to purchase a $32 response device instead of allowing them to purchase a $15 software license for their laptop or mobile device? (Prices reference MSRP for TurningPoint device and 1 yr license sold at UK.) On the surface, it doesn't seem to make sense, but here are three common reasons why instructors do this.
First, some instructors use audience response systems, or clickers, to take attendance. This approach is especially popular in large classes of 100+ students. The stand-alone responders work on a radio frequency, so the student has to be physically in the classroom to participate. Turning Technologies' ResponseWare software, like other online polling systems, allows responses to come from anywhere in the world, so it can't be used to ensure that the student is actually in his or her seat. While we don't recommend that instructors use clickers exclusively for attendance purposes, they often consider that feature as a secondary benefit.
Second, while there can be many benefits to technology usage in the classroom, many instructors are concerned that students who use multi-function devices during class, especially mobile phones, may get distracted by email, games, and texting instead of focusing on the lesson. Although there are a variety of ways to structure classes to increase student engagement, including best practices for audience response systems, some instructors decide that they'd rather just minimize the opportunity for distraction by banning phone and laptops in favor of a single-purpose device.
Third, it may seem unintuitive to those who live online, but using free-standing clickers can actually be easier on instructors than using online polling. Instead of explaining to students that they need to buy a software license, download an app, and/or log into a third-party website, instructors simply have to inform the campus bookstore that students will need a clicker with their textbook. Here at UK, many of our required "core" courses use clickers, so students often already have them and know how to use them, and most of our smart classrooms have TurningPoint receivers pre-installed at the smart teacher stations, so all the instructors need to do is walk in with their PowerPoint slides and start teaching. This greatly reduces complexity and the chance that someone will need tech support.
To use the online ResponseWare software (or an alternative system, like PollEverywhere), instructors usually have to register for an account in advance and remember to log in at the beginning of each class to receive responses. While free and easy, these are still extra steps. If not all students in the class have smart phones or laptops, such as the 2 students in the class of 40 mentioned by our letter writer, instructors have to do extra work to integrate responses coming in from both systems and may not be able to display meaningful results immediately after polling. Finally, instructors who need identifiable data for grading purposes may not get it if they use third-party software that does not track responses.
In short, while online polling systems have some definite advantages - freedom from dedicated, stand-alone hardware being just one of many - there are still arguments to be made for the familiar, reliable clicker system. As with sales of GPS devices, which are either accelerating or dead, this debate does not appear to be ending any time soon.

By Brendan Conway
Though hardly the stuff for contrarians or goldbugs, Ned Davis Research analyst Neil Leeson and Wenbo Zhou this week give would-be gold investors some conservative advice: Wait it out.
The duo urge clients to wait for a turn toward inflows for funds suffering persistent investor exits this year such as SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), even as the metal's price has taken an encouraging turn. Even as certain other indicators look better. Such as readings of investor sentiment.
On sentiment, Leeson and Zhou use a composite of surveys, including the Hulbert Newsletter Gold Sentiment Index and the Sentix Six-Month Institutional Investors Poll. The chart to the right shows what their mix of indicators says about gold lately.
As this blog noted yesterday, outflows from gold ETFs have slowed, hitting a relatively trickle of $687 million globally in August. But outflows they still are. More than $31 billion has exited gold exchange-traded products to investor outflows during 2013, according to BlackRock data.
From Leeson and Zhou:
Mean reversion is telling us to buy, but unfortunately, this indicator has already given the mean reversion "head-fake" several times this year, and should not be used by itself without longer-term trend confirmation.
In Wednesday's trading, SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) are down by 1.3% and 1.6%, respectively. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is down 1.3%,while leveraged miner ETFs Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are moving by 4% apiece.
In closed-end funds, Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) is down 1.6% and Central Fund of Canada (CEF) is down by 2.4%.

Blue Bridge North Still Closed
The northbound lanes of 395 over the blue bridge remain closed as the DOT has experienced another delay in finishing the expansion joint work on that side of the bridge.
That side of the bridge was originally scheduled to be re-opened by Monday morning and then by 5AM today. When contractors began work on replacing the expansion joints, which give the bridge needed flexibility, they learned that the new system is a bit different from the old system. That is what has caused the delay.
We will update you as soon as possible as soon as we have more information on the lanes re-opening. Work on the south side of the bridge is scheduled to begin Thursday night

Sam is a great teacher and leader of his team. He is dedicated to his students in seeing them reach their full potential in fencing and encourages them to work hard and compete locally and further afield to gain more experience. He has a love for the sport and has been foundational in establishing the Hunter Fencing Association Incorporated, being involved at the PCYC at Broadmeadow, the Newcastle University and now in heading up the new team at Charlestown. He has done so much to promote the sport and to lift its reputation in the community. Fencing is a brilliant, strategic, physically demanding sport which is also a lot of fun. Don't be foiled! Come see for yourself. You'll get my point. En guarde!
Sam has a way of leading that works for everyone. As an experienced fencer, I enjoy his classes while working hard and developing my skills. And, so does everyone else from the 12 year olds to the prents and grandparents. Sam is organised and his commitment to fencers is inspiring. This new venture will be a success, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn fencing or develop their personal skills.

Online Summer Reading Program 2011
The Online SRP was a great success for our first year! We had 186 participants who read a whopping 12,178 hours! We had participation from all over the library district with representation from all but a couple of our 28 branch communities. We had all ages of participants although most were from 11-15 years of age.
The raffle prizes were provided by donations from the Wenatchee Downtown Rotary, the Friend's of the Wenatchee Library, Academic Toolbox and A Book for All Seasons. Thank you to all of these groups who supported our kids' reading efforts this summer. The prizes given out were: two games, two bookstore gift certificates, over 18 books and two grand prize winners each winning a Barnes & Noble Nook ereader. Look for the Online Summer Reading Program next summer for even more great links, book reviews and prizes!
What was your or your child's favorite book this summer? The favorite at our house was The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart. If you like kids with very special talents who are put into impossible situations you will love The Mysterious Benedict Society Series. We can't wait for book number three!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:21 PM GMT on June 01, 2013
It was a terrifying evening of tornado chaos and extreme atmospheric violence in the Oklahoma City area on Friday. Three tornadoes touched down near the city, killing nine, injuring at least 71, and causing widespread destruction. Huge hail up to baseball-sized battered portions the the metro area, accompanied by torrential flooding rains, widespread damaging straight-line winds, and lightning that flashed nearly continuously. The strongest tornado, which touched down west of Oklahoma City in El Reno, has been preliminarily rated an EF-3 with 136 - 165 mph winds. The tornado warning for the storm was issued 19 minutes before it touched down. Two other EF-3 tornadoes touched down near St. Louis, Missouri, and NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) logged 20 preliminary tornado reports on Friday. Tinker Air Force Base on the east side of Oklahoma City reported sustained winds of 68 mph, gusting to 88 mph, at 8:09 pm CDT. The Oklahoma City airport had sustained winds of 53 mph, gusting to 71 mph at 7:26 pm. These winds were generated by the massive and powerful downdrafts from the supercell thunderstorm that spawned the El Reno tornado. Thankfully, Friday was likely the peak day for this week's severe weather outbreak, as SPC is calling for only a "Slight Risk" of severe weather Saturday and Sunday.

A vehicle is about the worst place you can be in a tornado, as the tornado's winds can easily roll a car. (The only place less safe is probably a mobile home, as a tornado's winds can roll mobile homes almost as readily, and mobile homes don't come with seat belts and air bags.) At least five of the deaths in Friday's El Reno tornado occurred in vehicles attempting to flee. There was one local TV station that urged residents without underground shelters to get in their cars and "get south" in advance of the tornado that was approaching Oklahoma City, since chasers were reporting that the El Reno tornado may have been so strong that only an underground shelter would have provided adequate protection. This terrible piece of advice likely contributed to the incredible traffic jams that we saw on I-35, I-40, I-44, and other local roads Friday night. Thousands of cars were bumper-to-bumper on the roads as a dangerous tornado approached them. Had the El Reno tornado plowed directly down one of these car-choked interstates, the death toll could have easily exceeded 500. If you are located in a metro area and don't have an underground shelter, the best thing to do it to take shelter in an interior windowless room or hallway, with protective furniture over your body. Getting in a car and attempting to flee the tornado is the worst thing you can do in an urban area. You may not be able to see the tornado if it is dark or the tornado is wrapped in rain. You are likely to encounter hazardous winds, rain, and hail, run into unexpected traffic, or flooded or debris-blocked roads that will put you directly in the path of the tornado. Even without an underground shelter, most people will be able to survive a dangerous EF-4 tornado. Case in point: during the Mannford, Oklahoma EF-4 tornado of 1984, a packed church received a direct hit, and everyone in the church survived. The only fatality was a man who drove to the church to get his wife. (Thanks to wunderground member AGWcreationists for this link.) It's better to abandon your vehicle and take shelter in a ditch, if you are caught in a car during a tornado.
Video 1. The Weather Channel storm chasers weren't the only ones who got themselves in an extremely dangerous situation on May 31. StormChasingVideo.com storm chaser Brandon Sullivan and his chase partner Brett Wright got caught in the tornado northwest of Union City, OK and slammed with debris as the tornado hit a barn that exploded in front of them.
Video 2. When the hunters became the hunted: Weather Channel storm chasers Mike Bettes and two photographers were in their Tornado Hunt vehicle when they were hit by a tornado in El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, 2013. The tornado picked their car up off the ground and rolled it 6 - 8 times before depositing it in a field 200 yards away. All the occupants were wearing seat belts and the air bags deployed, likely saving their lives. Bettes sustained minor injuries, including stitches in his hand. It was the first injury sustained by a Weather Channel personality covering violent weather, according to company spokesperson Shirley Powell.
A storm chasers' nightmare
Cars and tornadoes can prove a dangerous mix even for the world's most experienced storm chasers. Driving at high speeds though heavy rain, large hail, and high winds is hazardous. If one is lucky enough to chase down a tornado, even the most experienced chasers can find themselves in a serious life-threatening situation when unpredictable events occur. Tornadoes by their nature are unpredictable, and can change course unexpectedly, or pop up suddenly. It's particularly dangerous when a tornado is wrapped in rain, making it hard to see, or if a chaser is operating in a heavily populated area, where roads may suddenly become congested. All four of these conditions occurred Friday during the El Reno tornado, and it is very fortunate that multiple chasers were not killed. The El Reno tornado was wrapped in rain and difficult to see as it headed west towards Oklahoma City. The twister suddenly made a jog to the southeast as a Weather Channel team led by Mike Bettes was attempting to get in front of the storm, and the tornado lifted their vehicle off the ground, rolled it multiple times, and hurled it 200 yards into a nearby field. StormChasingVideo.com storm chaser Brandon Sullivan and his chase partner Brett Wright got caught in the tornado northwest of Union City, OK and slammed with debris as the tornado hit a barn that exploded in front of them. Meteorologist Emily Sutton and storm chaser Kevin Josefy of local Oklahoma City TV station KFOR also had a very close call with the El Reno tornado Friday afternoon. They got too close to the tornado, and were forced to floor the car in reverse to escape flying debris. With branches of trees crashing around them, Sutton began feeling debris hitting her back, and realized that the rear windshield of the car must have gotten destroyed. Both were uninjured. Reed Timmer's armor-plated "Dominator" chase vehicle had its hood torn off by the tornado. Wunderground member Levi32 was out storm chasing during the El Reno Tornado, and got stuck in traffic on Highway 4 and couldn't move. "We looked up above the car and saw the wall cloud over top of us, with very quick rotation and rising scud indicating the updraft. We were definitely too close. We made it home safely last night, but not until after an insanely wild day. One hour of chasing turned into six more of being chased by at least 2 tornadoes and a 3rd wall cloud, one of which was the one that went right through downtown Oklahoma City. At one point we were stuck in traffic underneath the El Rino wall cloud watching rotating, rising scud directly above the car. I am hoping and praying that the daylight does not reveal more fatalities.
Would I go again? Yes, but not today, or tomorrow, and I would take even greater care. We had no clue we would get caught the way we did. I thought we had done everything right. We were kind of freaking out for a while. That velocity signature you guys saw with radar folding and multiple vortices - we were under the southern edge of it. We never got a clear view of the tornado, but we could tell just how close it was to our north. It was unreal. The inflow got pretty strong.
We were almost ready to jump out and take cover right before we found a route south, which ended up being slow. It became a six-lane highway south as everyone panicked and drove on the wrong side of the road. Even we did so. We thought we were clear until we saw the training of tornadic supercells on radar, all connected somehow. I've never seen anything like that. My best pictures of the day were of the wall cloud that followed behind the El Reno storm. We didn't see a funnel from that one either, but it chased us south for a long time, and we heard from radio that it spawned a confirmed tornado in Tuttle, when we realized that we were in Tuttle.
A third mesocyclone showed up behind that one as we continued slowly south, eventually reaching Blanchard. It looked weaker than the others but we weren't going to escape it, so we took shelter in a storm room in the local grocery store for about an hour. It then took a long time to find a way around the huge hail cores to get back home. Lightning flashes were occurring 10 times per second as we drove home in the dark. It was almost calming to watch as we got over the semi-shock that we were all in. None of us in the car had seen a tornado before. We didn't see one yesterday, but we were chased by two."

Severe storms causing major flooding
The 5.64" of rain that fell at the Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport on Friday was their 6th wettest day in city history, and brought the total rainfall for the month of May to 14.52", the wettest May in Oklahoma City's history (Thanks to BaltimoreBrian for this link.) The North Canadian River in Oklahoma City rose sixteen feet in twelve hours, cresting at its 2nd highest flood on record this Saturday morning. The heavy rains have spread eastwards on Saturday, causing more flooding problems. Paducah, KY had its wettest June day and 3rd wettest day on record on June 1, with 5.73" of rain (all-time record: 7.49" on 9/5/1985.) Major flooding is occurring along a substantial stretch of the Mississippi River in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.

Remains of Hurricane Barbara may bring heavy rains to Mexico, Florida, and Cuba
Today, June 1, is the official first day of the Atlantic Hurricane season, and we already have our first Atlantic tropical disturbance to talk about. Hurricane Barbara, which died on Thursday as it attempted to cross Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec into the southernmost Gulf of Mexico, has left behind an area of disturbed weather over the southernmost Gulf of Mexico. There is very little heavy thunderstorm activity associated with Barbara's remnants apparent on satellite loops this Saturday afternoon. Wind shear is a high 20 knots in the region, and the area of disturbed weather is quite small, so I don't expect any development to occur over the next few days. NHC is giving the disturbance a 10% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone by Monday. Moisture from the remnants of Barbara may combine with moisture from an area of heavy thunderstorms expected to build over the Western Caribbean this weekend, and begin bringing heavy rains to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Western Cuba on Sunday and Monday. These heavy rains may spread to Southwest Florida as early as Monday night. The computer models predict that this disturbance should be large and poorly organized, making development into a Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclone unlikely.
My next post will be Monday at the latest.

text: Today, all straight bourbons are produced by the sour-mash method. In the sour-mash method, backset (liquid from a previous distillation) is added to the mash in addition to yeast. The backset helps to make the next batch of bourbon similar to the previous ones by passing on some of the characteristics of the previous batches (this is similar to using a "starter" when making sourdough bread). Straight bourbons are produced in accordance to the laws mentioned in FAQ #1 What is bourbon? and contain only undiluted grain distillates. Blended bourbons contain at least 51 percent straight bourbon mixed with neutral grain spirits.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Ben Grimes set up a slide presentation in the Courthouse Canyon room about A. D. Ferron. Grimes lives in Elmo. He said that, "He is a newcomer though, because he has only lived in Elmo 36 years." Grimes is a professional land surveyor and works currently for Carbon County as a surveyor. He has worked for several companies in Utah as a surveyor over a period of 40 years. Grimes started the meeting answering questions about surveying problems he has observed in Utah.
Grimes told the group that the early surveyors used latitude and longitude by taking readings from the sun and the stars to their location on the globe. They did not have GPS equipment in those days. When early surveyors started in this country they brought over the English system of using latitude and longitude. As equipment improved the surveyors upgraded. In 1927 the NAD or North American Datum was established. Government surveyors figured out where the United States was on the globe and they called that the NAD and gave it at a certain location. The major problem surveying is that you have a round earth that you are trying to map. But you cannot draw a round map, you have to flatten it out, you have to figure out what they call projections as a way to make the round earth flat, then you can map it. This flattening brings in a lot of other problems.
In 1983 the NAD was revised and they just revised it again in 2007 or 2008. The new NAD has not been published yet but soon will be available. With new GPS equipment we get more precision all the time. Grimes said, " I can set up my GPS equipment and tell you within one centimeter where you are on the earth."
Grimes said, "The problem we have in some surveying cases is trying to locate and compare old maps with new maps. One of the biggest problems is people putting fences where they should not be and people writing legal descriptions for property that do not know what they are doing. About 80 percent of the deeds in Utah are written by attorney's and title companies and they have messed up every single one of them. Because they did not rely on a survey to write up the legal description."
Grimes commented that in some cases Joe Blow would write up a legal description and take it to the recorder and get the description recorded with no questions asked and 98 percent of them are wrong. Then you have people who put up fences for convenience or where they want the fence to be. They do not have a survey done to tell them where the fence should be. Then they end up with problems. Ben estimated that 98 percent of the fences in Emery County are not in the right spot. He said "I know mine are not at my house and every survey I have done in most of the counties of Utah the same situation exists." It is rare to get a deed that has the fences where they are supposed to be, unless you are up along the Wasatch Front where the price of property is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per acre. Then they are almost always right.
A half a foot here and a half a foot there on the Wasatch Front makes a big difference. A joke was told by Bert Oman, that some of the surveyors use Gracie's cow as a survey reference point.
Every state has a central location survey point. In Utah it is the Southeast corner of Temple Square. That's where everything is started from for Utah surveys. That southeast corner of Temple Square is 0 0 and you go North, South, East and West from there.
Grimes said the Four Corners area was possibly put at a convenient location like many people put up their fences.
Homestead Act from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says, "The Homestead Act was a United States Federal law that gave an applicant freehold title to 160 acres (one quarter section or about 65 hectares)-640 acres (one section or about 260 hectares) of undeveloped land outside of the original 13 colonies. The new law required three steps: 1. file an application, 2. improve the land, and 3. file for deed of title. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the U.S. Government, including freed slaves, could file an application and a list of improvements made to a local land office. The Act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862."
Eventually 1.6 million homesteads were granted and 270,000,000 acres (1,100,000 km2) were privatized between 1862 and 1986, a total of 10 percent of all lands in the United States.
Grimes presented photos of Augustus D. Ferron's maps of Emery County surveys starting in 1873 and ending in 1916. A.D. Ferron an immigrant from Russia started surveying in Emery County in 1863 at the age of 26. At the age of 33 he married Helene Solomon and settled in Emery County Nov 1877. It was the 1873 surveys by Ferron that showed the first potential of Emery County for irrigation, farming and settlement.
In 1874 when the Homestead Act was changed, Ferron was hired by the US Government General Land Office and given the assignment to survey for farm and irrigatable land in Emery County. He did not survey the mountains. His survey was to map the streams for irrigation and land that could be farmed. His maps are quite detailed. He even shows the early roads and trails like the Father Escalante Trail and the Gunnison trail.
Early settlers tried to raise sugar cane and sugar beets in an effort to obtain sugar, a precious commodity. Those efforts were unsuccessful. Sorghum was finally successfully grown along Huntington Creek in Emery County and milled for sugar.
A township map covers an area six miles by six miles (as specified by the Public Land Survey), and is defined by the township and range coordinates mapped out from established meridians and base lines. A section is one square mile.
The United States Public Lands Survey is known as a cadastral survey. Cadastral surveys are those which establish boundaries for land ownership. Since the primary purpose of the USPLS was to sell land, it was important for defining land boundaries.
Ferron used a 66 foot chain to measure land boundaries, brass tally markers of various design identified every 10th link. The accuracy of the chain was enhanced by the length adjustment at the handles, which compensated for the lengthening of the chain through use. "Pulling the chain" was a term used by surveyors when measuring land in those days.
In 1884, Deputy U.S. Surveyor Ferron, the first person into Range Creek, discovered a small, stream of good water in an unoccupied canyon on the Tavaputs plateau. He called the stream Ranch Creek. The following year, Ferron and four partners from New York and Pennsylvania renamed the stream Range Creek and formed the Range Valley Cattle Company. The company claimed all the land and water on the West Tavaputs plateau between the Price River on the South and Nine Mile Canyon on the North. These partners intended to pursue mining and railroad interests in Utah. None of them had any experience in cattle ranching. Ferron recognized the value of this previously undiscovered range and convinced the group to join him in the venture. They filed seven desert land entries along the creek, securing the valuable water and blocking the only trail to the upper plateau.
Range Valley Cattle Company continued operation until 1902. They sold the land to Preston Nutter. The government opened Range Valley to homesteading in 1915. There were many legal battles between Nutter defending his property and small ranchers seeking a piece of the canyon. Nutter retained control of the canyon until 1951 when he sold his Range Creek ranches to Ray Wilcox and his sons Don and Waldo who divided the ranch following the death of their father, with Waldo retaining the Range Valley portion until December 2001, when it was sold and transferred to the BLM. It was then transferred to the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Ferron Creek received its name as a result of Ferron getting tossed into the creek. His crew told him that if he would let them throw him into the creek they would name the creek after him.
A history of the town of Ferron and Range Creek can be found on the Internet as well as other towns in Emery County. The first homesteaders arrived on Ferron Creek in 1877. Early settlers had to live on their land to prove up on it, under laws designed primarily for the agricultural regions of the Midwest, which required homesteaders to reside on their farms in order to obtain title to the land. This was different from the norm of earlier Mormon colonies where everyone lived in a town for protection and went out of the town to farm their land, much like it is done in Germany to this day. Emery County was established by the 1880 territorial legislature. In that same year Huntington, Castle Dale, Orangeville, and Ferron townsites were platted.
