Oakton Community College Microsoft Curriculum Coordinator Ed Gallagher has been awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for his outstanding contributions in Windows and Devices for IT technical communities during the past year. The MVP honor, Gallagher's 10th in a row, is given to exceptional leaders who actively share their high quality, real-world expertise with others.
Gallagher, a computer networking and systems (CNS) instructor at Oakton since 2000, has more than 70 technical certifications and developed the college's Microsoft Certification program in 2003. He also has served as the advisor the Chicago Computer Society, a club that offers opportunities for students to enhance knowledge and understanding of computer software and hardware. When he's not teaching at Oakton, Gallagher works as an IT consultant, designing and building networks for various size companies across the country.
Microsoft began the MVP Awards in the early 1990s as a way to recognize those members of the general public who devoted their time and considerable technical expertise to helping users in various online technical forums. Gradually, the Microsoft MVP program evolved, and awards are now given to the most outstanding members for their exceptional contributions to hundreds of online and offline technical communities.
"If I keep winning this award, I must be doing something right and contributing to help many people," Gallagher said. "I'm truly blessed to be doing something I love and am very humbled to be honored again. I'm a computer geek whose main goal is to assist Oakton students. To do that, I have to keep up with technology that is constantly changing. I love the challenge of trying to stay one step ahead. In the technology field if you fall behind, you're finished."
Oakton officials appreciate the countless hours Gallagher puts in for his students.
"Ed exhibits a rare combination of technical expertise and sincere generosity of spirit," said Oakton Dean of Mathematics and Technologies Bob Sompolski. "He works tirelessly on behalf of the college to ensure that our networking students learn in a stable and predictable software environments. Oakton is indeed fortunate to have such a faculty member in its ranks."
Gallagher received personal correspondence from Microsoft praising him for his dedication and hard work.
"The Microsoft MVP Award provides the unique opportunity to celebrate and honor your significant contributions and say thank you for your technical leadership," Microsoft Director of Community and Advocacy Programs Patrick Malone said via email.
Gallagher and other Microsoft MVPs will be honored during the company's MVP Global Summit, which will be held November 7-10, 2016, in Redmond, Washington. The conference also will allow award winners to connect with other MVPs, build relationships with Microsoft product managers, and provide feedback on Microsoft products and technologies.

Another wine you say? Why not if the kids are entertained.
Port Macquarie's wineries have new attractions, events and creative ways to amuse the little ones at the cellar door. Rose's Vineyard now has a petting farm with baby animals, Cassegrain offers new horse-riding trails through the vines and Bago Vineyards has Bago Maze and fun events like an annual cupcake treasure hunt and monthly Jazz in the Vineyards. Many of our wineries have diversified to offer something fun for the kids. They can enjoy outdoor art, farm animals, horse-riding, a maze and a place to learn about our penal history. The region's seven wineries are scattered around the lush green hinterland and close to town.
Roses Vineyard has a new Petting Farm where children can meet a variety of baby animals, pat and bottle feed them. As they play with the pigs, chickens, cows, ducks, rabbits, goats and horses, parents can relax with a glass of wine and enjoy 100 acres overlooking Innes Lake.
Port Macquarie Horse Riding Centre offer escorted trail rides through the Cassegrain Winery estate, available for children aged over six. A perfect opportunity for parents to indulge in wine tasting at the Cellar Door. Wine and dine at Seasons Café-Restaurant, explore the beautiful garden with picnic areas and BBQ facilities, or learn about the art of winemaking on a guided tour.
Bago Vineyards and Bago Maze is a charming rustic hinterland winery and its star new attraction is Bago Maze and a Mountain Bike Trail for experienced riders. Kids can get lost in 2000 metres of pathways and lookouts at the largest hedge maze in NSW while parents enjoy wine and a cheese platter.
At Douglas Vale Historic Vineyard inquisitive minds can learn about Port Macquarie's penal history and will love exploring the Homestead built in 1859, the oldest timber house in the region. Wine here is produced from the original Isabella grape and it is classified by the National Trust.
Long Point Vineyard has a display of fabulous outdoor sculptures scattered through the gardens, an indoor Art Gallery, and a sheltered BBQ and picnic area with lots of space for the little ones to run. They are serious about wine quality, but like to have fun with their labels such as 'Fat Bastard' Chardonnay, 'Jolly Nose' Port or 'Agent Orange' Liqueur.
Innes Lake Vineyard is perfect for foodie parents who can dine on beautiful dishes on the veranda at Little Fish Café, while the kids enjoy the $10 menu. Keep an eye on the kids while they climb trees and run through vineyards, extensive gardens and colourful jacaranda trees.

This property is everything you see and more! The location was a plus. Having the water right at your back door was awesome. We brought our jet ski with us and it was nice having the ability to have access to it when we wanted to go out on the water. The beach is a short walk away too. My kids never saw a manatee so they were excited to see them daily. This house has everything you need. The kayaks, bikes, board games, beach chairs and anything else you may need is at the house. The owner is also available and responds quickly. We had a slight problem with the Wi-Fi but with the help of the owner we had it fixed right away. I must add that all of the appliances (dishwasher/washing machine) are very quiet. The beds are also very comfortable. We loved everything from the décor to all of the kitchen necessities. This is one of the most memorable trips and we will be back.
we had a wonderful time in this special home.
The warmth and energy was amazing,
Thank you
This house was perfect for our family vacation. It looks exactly as pictured. It is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. If you have never been to the Keys beach access is VERY important so this is a plus. The owners Alisa and Mark were great to work with and I received my deposit back within a few days. There are lots of beach towels, kids toys, games the bikes and kayaks were great as well. Taking the kayaks out in the morning to watch the sunrise was awesome. There are many restaurants close by and Publix as well. We did grill at the house a lot but Docks Diner was great for breakfast and close by as well. We rented a pontoon boat twice from Pontoon George and found him to have the best prices. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock right in the back yard. I would love to return to this house in the future and I have already recommended it to other friends. We have lots of memories to share in years to come from our week at this beautiful home in Key Largo. We were with my son, his wife and our 3 grandchildren ages five to nine.
We stayed for a week at this amazing home. The pictures do not do it justice; it was everything we expected and more. The house was easy to get to and in a quite neighborhood. The owners have everything you need right at the house, beach towels, coolers, beach toys & chairs, kayaks....you name it they have it. A lot of amazing restaurants within in 2 miles of the house too. The highlight of our trip was my daughters swimming with the manatees in the canal.
We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our experience staying at your home. From the detailed and timely communication prior to arrival, to the various instructions and tips posted around the property. The additional amenities, such as hot tub, bbq and kayaks allowed for my family to enjoy the Keys even if I had to stay in and work at times. The WiFi made it easy to conduct business, and the location in Key Largo made it very easy to get to business meetings. Having a store within walking distance was also a plus. If we find ourselves back in the Keys, we will most definitely be booking your place again.
We stayed for the month of February, 2016. The home was ideal for day trips to the State and National Parks: Pennekamp, Everglades, Biscayne, and multiple State Parks in the Upper and Middle Keys. There are two private parks on the water with boat ramps, beaches, Manatees and Dolphins, swimming and fishing. The canal provided entertainment with frequent Manatee visits, Herrons, Egrets, Pelicans, fishing, and friendly neighbors. The boat lift is very practical if you bring or rent a boat. The location is close to Publix and K-Mart with a traffic light accessible through the neighborhood, which is essential to turn north west on the Overseas Highway. The home is well kept and clean. The owners have tried to provide everything to make your vacation enjoyable: Kayaks and Bikes, a modern hot tub in the lower level along with TV (we watched our home-team Bronco's win Super Bowl 50) and couches in the screened-in recreation area.
A single car garage provides a sheltered area to prepare fishing tackle, pack coolers, and make any repairs during the stay. The propane grill was clean and we prepared many meals with it. The front door uses a coded lock, so you are not having to keep track of house keys.
It was a very enjoyable stay.

Hello reader,
That title doesn't tell you much about what this article will be about, but undoubtably many of you are looking for ways to improve: sales, customer relations, and similar aspects of your business that seem to be lagging behind what you perceive should be the normal.
Is business slow for everyone right now?
No and never ask that in the face of bad numbers because it sets you up to confirm the worst rather than fix what isn't working. Somewhere somebody is doing better business than you are and it's just a matter of what they are doing differently.
Doesn't it matter which aspect of my business is lagging behind?
Not really. The interdependent nature of your business is like a woven object, if you lift or depress from any side the other sides will pitch accordingly and eventually everything will suffer.
An example, A company with an annual revenue of let's say 200,000 dollars for 5 years notices a 2% drop in marketing revenue but disregards it because of a 2% increase in volume. While this may seem insignificant on it's face many things might be happening to cause those fluctuations, and if it remains a trend what will happen is a cap on the volume increase. With no limit to the drop in the marketing revenue this might spell disaster.
Why is this possible?
If you had 200 customers last month and sold them all something (let's say for $20.00) that was normal, if the next month you had 180 and sold them all just a bit more, ($25.00) that was a small sign of decrease in customers being reached. If this process continues you'll end up eventually with only 20 customers who can't possibly make up for the lack in extra customers with more sales.
What if this isn't related to my problem?
Then you need to look at your problem through a similar set of criteria to begin to solve the actual problem. Perhaps you have an average number of sales per month but haven't really looked very closely at where they are coming from. This is dangerous because you'll never be able to predict the trends that are deciding your company's fate.
Even if I only am selling _______?
Let's say you are on a beach somewhere selling sunscreen, you only sell one or two bottles a day. I can't imagine a much smaller business model so bear with me.
You can undoubtably account for seasonal differences in your customer volume, because off season you know not to bother to show up except maybe on weekends.
Chances are there are points along your route that have made you more sales than you might have noticed. In fact there is a pretty good chance that the majority of your sales were closer to the parking lots than knee deep in the ocean.
Now to increase your likelihood of selling more in this model you only need to stand closer to the parking lot more often.
At least that would be a logical first step.
Businesses strategies online are different though aren't they?
Not at all. Where you are most likely to find your customers or clients doen't change as much as your likelihood to be in that same place. In fact many pinterest users who sell products through etsy and similar venues have noted that you might forget to keep doing pinterest even though it accounts for a portion of your sales that only looks significant once it is missing.
But I am selling something different, and it seems like nobody is buying.
Look over your past numbers if you ever had success with your product or service. Note the times you were engaged in active selling versus passive selling. Were people talking about related products? Were you recommending your product as a specific solution?
Even through social media high volume sales are possible, in spite of what people say. The trick is to know your customer better than you know your product. When would you be open to a suggestion about what to try?
At one point I sold a few copies of this book just by explaining that scenario. It's only 13 pages long but entails how to make serious use out of your social media.
So how am I trying to redirect my business focus?
Focusing on what you are doing differently than someone else in your niche is an excellent place to start provided you know they are succeeding. In marketing look at where to direct the majority of your attention and change the language to reflect the thinking your customers are using when they are open to trying something new.
Example, "I forgot my sunscreen and it's 80 degrees, thankfully slipperyfrog saved my weekend. The individual packets of spf 2000 were non irritating and lasted for hours without reapplying. #SlipperyfrogRocks"
In the above example a non descript ad that would look silly in normal conversation. However if this same silly ad were directed at a beach event, where such things have probably actually just happened, it would possibly grab mentions and even sales.
So go where the customers are?
That is exactly where much of your business should be focused. You'll know better than I will how you can implement this thinking. Selling books is different than selling services, selling sunscreen is different than either one. But the common understanding to be garnered from all of this is nobody is getting anything done knee deep in the ocean.
Except maybe catching dinner.
Thanks for reading this!

Producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani couldn't have chosen a more apt location to host an event for their upcoming film that deals with the youth. The duo plans to launch the theatrical trailer of Fukrey at a venue that perfectly captures the humdrum of student life, a college canteen. Farhan and Ritesh have settled on Churchgate's Jai Hind College for the event that is scheduled to be held on April 12.
A source close to the film says, "Fukrey is a story about four boys who are on the verge of entering college and have wild dreams about their new life. Farhan and Ritesh will kick off the first promotional activity at Jai Hind. They, along with the director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, and the cast will release the trailer to the media and interact with the students."
Ask Ritesh about their choice of venue and he says, "College plays a pivotal role in Fukrey. While it is not a campus film, college life is central to the story. We thought a student canteen will add the correct vibe for the launch of the trailer." Earlier this week, the makers had launched a promotional jingle along with an animated video on YouTube.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, Fukrey stars actors Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi.

Attendance up at Villa Louis, other state historic sites
The lure of Wisconsin history brought higher attendance and bigger revenues to many of the state's historic sites this year, according to Wisconsin Historical Society.
Paid attendance figures for the Wisconsin Historical Society's 11 historic sites and museums show an overall year-to-date increase of 3%, with earned revenues up by 3.2%. Records show 136,871 people have paid admission to the sites and museums as of the end of September with total admissions near 250,000, and that the sites generated total revenues of $2.234 million.
Five historic sites and museum reported increased paid attendance. Villa Louis, the Victorian mansion in Prairie du Chien, posted the biggest increases with a 9.4% rise in attendance and a 15.2% jump in revenue over 2011. The other sites that reported higher attendance numbers were Wade House in Greenbush (6.5%), Stonefield in Cassville (1.4%), the Wisconsin Historical Museum in Madison (7.7%) and Circus World in Baraboo (7.4%).
Four historic sites and museums reported attendance and revenue declines, H.H. Bennett Studio in Wisconsin Dells, Madeline Island Museum in La Pointe, Pendarvis in Mineral Point and Old World Wisconsin near Eagle.
Two sites, First Capitol in Belmont and Reed School in Neillsville, offer free admission.
Here's where to find more on the state's historic sites.

Rep. Jim Merrill wants the state to control high school sports
Some contend that Merrill is angry that a high school in his district suffered sanctions from the SCHSL and that is why he wants to eliminate the SCHSL. Frankly, there are not enough confirmed facts out there to substantiate that allegation, so VUI will look at things as they are.
First, the South Carolina High School League has governed South Carolina high school and middle school sports for years. It is a non profit organization that actually gets some of its money from corporate sponsors and ticket sales in addition to member schools dues. Its rules for games like football and basketball are a textbook for competition at the youth sports level as well.
Further, as someone who has coached at the youth sports level, I can attest to the fact that SCHSL has great respect among coaches and those who put together youth leagues and competition. The officials who get its accreditation are well respected. That is because it is a league ran by members and that shows in its even handed rulings. It is free from partisan politics.
What Merrill offers is introducing high school and middle school sports to good ole boy politics. You can bet that if the Department of Education takes over such things, that good ole boys will work hard to make sure that their favorite teams get preferential treatment. The track record is what it is, no matter what the politicians say. And, of course, we the taxpayers will pay the full bill for having them intrude on a part of life they otherwise cannot intrude upon.
That is why VUI says no to Merrill's bill and encourages members of the General Assembly to say no to it. High School Friday nights are sacred events in South Carolina. They are nights when folks of all political persuasions can come together to cheer on their teams. The SCHSL is not Republican or Democrat. It is made up of member schools and officials who love the games. As such, it gives us something that is not controlled by the good ole boys or those who claim not to be good ole boys. It is our break from that stuff. Let us keep it. Let's keep politics out of high school, middle school and youth sports.
8 comments:
Merrill's district includes Bishop England, the only Catholic, and largest private school in the High School League. BE has had to put up with a great deal of anti-Catholic and anti-private school bias for generations in the HSL. If the HSL has an opportunity to put the screws to Bishop England, they will and always do. There is a cabal of anti-Catholic upstate school administrators, liberals who don't like private schools, and coaches of volleyball, soccer, tennis and baseball who claim BE has unfair advantages in their sports, who are continually doing whatever they can to push BE out of the HSL and into SCISA. Merrill is right to take shots at the HSL, it is a good ole boy corrupt entity itself.ReplyDelete
Great article!!! I thought the GOP wanted to cut red-tape and positions at the Dept of Ed. This bill directly contradicts that goal. Elected oficials need to focus on jobs, government reform, taxes and improving education from K through college-NOT on sports.ReplyDelete
I agree with both posters here. Merrill is definitely asking for "more government" with a state takeover of sports. THAT IS DEFINITELY CONTRARY TO THE GOP PLATFORM.ReplyDelete
The Department of Education needs less to do not more. What a big government liberal.ReplyDelete

A ScienCentral News report explains that the research means these potentially precious cells may be everywhere there's hair.
Scientists at AntiCancer, Inc. of San Diego have coaxed adult stem cells in mice into turning into neurons, the nerve cells of the brain. Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the authors say, the results of their work suggests a new "source of undifferentiated multi-potent stem cells."
The next steps would be to better understand and isolate the hair follicle stem cells, and then move on to the tricky part of trying to actually grow these stem cells in the lab. "We put them in culture," says AntiCancer President Robert Hoffman, "and under conditions where brain stem cells would form neurons, the hair follicle stem cells also formed neurons. We also injected some of these stem cells into the skin of mice and they formed neurons there, too."
Stem cells are the body¡¯s master cells. So-called adult stem cells are found throughout the body. A more controversial source comes from days-old embryos.
The best known source of stem cells is the bone marrow, but researchers hope to find more easily accessible sites and want to experiment to see if different sources of stem cells may offer cells with different qualities.
The finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers another potential source of the master cells, which scientists hope may provide a good source of new tissue and organ transplants.

New Delhi, Oct. 9 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who sacked Asim Ahmed Khan from his Cabinet on charges of corruption, on Friday said that it would send a strong message of intolerance for such acts.
"Today's event will send a message to everyone that if they can take action against their own minister, then no one will be spared," Kejriwal told a press conference here.
"Manish (Sisodia) and I listened to that audio clip, we did the preliminary assessment of that and prima facie it seems to be a serious matter. We have received serious complaint of corruption against our Cabinet Minister Asim Ahmed. The complainant has sent us a one-hour audio clip," he added.
The ruling AAP Government in Delhi has referred Ahmed's case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
"We received a complaint, assessed it and have decided to remove Asim Ahmed from the Cabinet. We are referring this complaint to the CBI. Till the CBI does not complete its enquiry, till then Asim Ahmed will not serve as a minister," said Kejriwal.
Ballimaran MLA Imran Hussain will replace Asim Ahmed Khan, who held the Food and Civil Supply portfolio, in the Delhi Cabinet.
According to reports, Ahmed had asked for Rs. six lakhs from a builder. (ANI)

This is MIT student Tyler Christensen's Tesla coil hat, which — in the name of sheer comedy — he programmed to play the theme from Mortal Kombat (recently) and Harry Potter. Sadly, strapping a Tesla coil to one's head isn't always the best idea — the hat blew up before he could show it off on Halloween.

I replied to it with Vogon poetry on the MoMo list, which got the list owners to turn moderation on. So apparently Vogon poetry is as powerful as they say.

Which system is right for you?
There are so many different models, brands, and revisions of hardware that choosing the right components for your system can be a huge challenge. We've taken the time to perform in-depth analysis to determine exactly what kind of hardware will give you the best possible performance when using a CPU-based rendering engine. This ensures that you will be getting a system that has all the capabilities you need without spending money on components that will not be beneficial.
Single CPU System
CPU-based rendering engines can be very demanding on your system and respond extremely well to having a more powerful CPU. Due to the high hardware requirements for optimal performance, our single CPU system offers Intel's "High End" desktop processors with anywhere from 6 to 10 CPU cores. This high number of cores allows them to complete renders anywhere from 30% to twice as fast as a standard quad-core CPU.
Just because this system is terrific for rendering, that doesn't mean it isn't also great for general 3d modeling. All of the CPU options on this system are able to Turbo to speeds up to 4.0GHz which makes this system a great compromise when you need excellent rendering performance, but also need the system to work well when working in 3D modeling applications such as 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D, AutoCAD, or SOLIDWORKS.
Dual CPU System
If you need the fastest render times possible, look no further than our dual CPU workstation with two Intel Xeon E5 V4 processors. Most rendering engines are highly effective at utilizing a larger number of CPU cores, and with anywhere from 20 to 44 cores, this workstation should be able to complete large renders roughly 2-3 times faster than our single CPU system.
This system is based on our Genesis II certified system and includes all of the features that come with that system including free 1-year Next Business Day Onsite Service + 24hr Help Desk support.
While not listed on the base configuration, with fairly minor tweaks this system can be capable of using up to four video cards if you use a mix of both CPU and GPU-based rendering engines. Simply let one of our consultants (firstname.lastname@example.com or 425.458.0273) know what you need and we will work with you to get you the system you need!

"The idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges, as hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; as absurd as an hereditary Poet Laureate." So wrote Tom Paine in The Rights of Man as long ago as 1791. Reform of the House of Lords is not a new issue. While this Government has made significant progress, successive governments have failed to resolve the matter. We are trying to reach a consensus on a way forward.
It is important therefore to acknowledge the areas where there is agreement. Most people agree that we should have two houses of parliament. Only smaller countries with homogenous populations seem to successfully operate a system with only one chamber. The important revising work of the Lords, improving legislation and bringing to bear expert and informed opinion on a wide range of topics, is acknowledged. Elected Members of Parliament take a strong line, illustrated most recently in an article by Gordon Brown, that the primacy of the Commons is of paramount importance. Similarly, there are few today who support the hereditary principle as a way of deciding who should make our laws.
Progress has been made. The majority of hereditary peers no longer legislate. Prime ministerial patronage has been reduced, transferring powers of appointment to other party leaders and the House of Lords Appointments Commission. But there is more to do. No one would suggest that the present House of Lords is the product of logic. It is a product of history, some might suggest an accident of history. The make-up of the Lords is irrational. No one drawing up a new constitution would construct an upper house in this way. But I recognise this has brought benefits.
It has prevented serious conflict between the two Houses. When there are disagreements, the unelected Lords should, in the last resort, give way. The powers of the Lords are, in any event, circumscribed by the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949. Since 1945, the Lords have generally voluntarily limited their powers further through the Salisbury Convention which holds that a proposal in the manifesto of a government party should be accepted as having been approved by the electorate, and therefore neither be rejected or changed out of recognition by the Lords. Until recently such conventions were regarded as having virtually the status of law. Recently, however, Liberal Democrat peers have decided, for reasons of their own, that they can abandon such conventions at will. This means we are in uncharted constitutional waters.
Yet without the hereditary peers we would have an all-appointed chamber. Such arrangements are understandably criticised. It does raise important questions of democratic legitimacy.
This has led to suggestions for a hybrid House where some members are appointed and some are elected. The track record of such hybrid arrangements is not encouraging. Members of the Scottish Parliament, where some are elected from constituencies and some come from a party list, complain about the difficulty of reconciling their different status. This was also the motivation behind the amendments to the Government of Wales Bill to prevent those defeated in constituency elections from being elected on a party list.
Having elected members in the Second Chamber, many of them probably politicians who were unable to get seats in the House of Commons, would change the entire nature of the legislature. We only have to look to other nations, such as Italy, to see there are real dangers in having two rival elected chambers at permanent loggerheads.
There has never been a consensus on how to reform the Lords. As long ago as 1911, the preamble to the first Parliament Act described it as an interim measure. That interim measure persists to this day. One of my predecessors, Richard Crossman, made clear in his Diaries that the main obstacle to reform was a lack of agreement on the powers and the composition of the Second Chamber.
The debate on powers could be resolved by making established conventions, such as the Salisbury Convention, legally binding to ensure the primacy of the Commons. This would have to be done by statute, and would be a complex process, but would assist in encouraging support in the Commons for changing the composition of the Lords. One thing is quite clear from the perspective of Members of the House of Commons. We must clarify and circumscribe the powers of the Second Chamber before deciding its composition if we are to achieve consensus among elected parliamentarians. And we must finish Tom Paine's unfinished business and end the anomaly of hereditary peers sitting in the upper chamber.

A lot of us have watched goings-on at Caledonia since 2006 when protestors from the nearby Six Nations reserve began blocking development and behaving in a manner that if others had done it, they'd be arrested.
I avoided comment on events there, because I wasn't sure of the relationship between lawlessness and aboriginal rights. I was uneasy about confusing one with the other. That's my excuse.
Since reading Helpless by Christie Blatchford, a new book detailing the controversy, I don't have that excuse any more.
Caledonia was — and is — a small horror story. It's not a horror story for the Six Nations thugs who ran amok, occupying, intimidating, abusing, threatening, with impunity, because there was no effort to dissuade them.
It is a horror story for ordinary people who were the victims of thuggery. But it's a greater horror story for the OPP which behaved with negligence, dereliction of duty and, yes, cowardice.
Officers on the job turned a blind eye to people being beaten, homes threatened, curfews imposed, road blocks established. On occasion, the OPP even refused to come to the aid of a fellow officer being beaten.
Officers who refused to intervene were only obeying orders.
Where have we heard that before!
Top ranking OPP officers — starting with Commissioners Gwen Boniface and ending with Julian Fantino — wanted no trouble with Natives. By refusing to protect those threatened, or arresting those violating the law, senior ranks dishonoured themselves and the OPP.
Individual officers were mortified. Felt betrayed. Still do.
The Ontario government was equally craven. Premier Dalton McGuinty wouldn't visit Caledonia; then-Tory leader John Tory visited 13 times.
Authority was reeling from the 1995 Ipperwash standoff where Native activist Dudley George was shot and killed, and the Mike Harris Conservative government was pilloried from left and right.
Caledonia was worse. Blatchford is a fine reporter, and makes it clear she in not concerned (in the book) about First Nations issues like land claims, religious schooling, the myriad of real and imagined wrongs inflicted in the past.
She writes: "Helpless is about what happened to the rule of law … in that town and its environs … the rule of law was utterly decimated."
For four months some 450 households in the Douglas Creek Estates (DCE) "were outright terrorized." Roads were closed, curfews imposed. Occupiers took over. The OPP abandoned the residents. "Lawlessness ran rampant."
Blatchford interviews various individuals — each adding to the horror.
Then OPP Commissioner Fantino took personal aim at one man, Gary McHale, who was arrested and jailed for raising a Canadian flag in the face of Native and various warrior flags. That's only one of many vendettas.
The only time police wore riot gear was to confront peaceful citizens, not when facing baseball bat-wielding Native protesters.
It was police inaction that distressed people — "doing nothing about the law-breaking they'd seen with their own eyes." They dreaded being accused of racism.
Instead, they got anarchy.
Blatchford's book is powerful. While she's mainly concerned about the rampant lawlessness and the refusal of police and politicians to protect citizens, she also uncovers other horrors — such as Dudley George's cousin, OPP Superintendant Ron George, head of Aboriginal Issues, who was hopelessly inept and one-sided.
This a landmark book that every citizen should read — and every politician and journalist. We're all remiss for ignoring Caledonia's message.
And now Julian Fantino wants to be a federal MP and cabinet minister. Shame on him for Caledonia, and for his failure to lead.

Put your reasons for choosing the one you will be getting.
And vote.
ps4 its cheaper and i already have a vita for remote play
Whatever one Crayo and Ryan get.
Whatever one Xanth gets.
Whichever one the rest of manly ponies buy.
But yeah, clubs > next gen consoles.
Suck that Jonathan
Everyone, it's time to move onto PC.
Xbox = Halo.
Yes, I'm a Halo Fag.
DRM and Internet dependance for the Xbox One is a dealbreaker.
It's a shame because I was a Microsoft fanboy for this generation but when the new consoles come I will be getting the PS4.
Damn You Lacky!
We don't care about Britanica 's cat
How I've missed those 3 words.
Neither, sticking with PC now.
Ps4 is 100 dollars cheaper and I don't have to be online... So i'm somehow seriously considering it.
It'll probably be a while before I buy either, but I'm leaning towards PS4.
Besides the price, the PS4 has impressed me a lot better than the Xbox One.
The Playstation has the more fun and exciting games in my opinion and focuses more on things I want and less on gadgets and social widgets.
Playstation for me.
