Jerusha Nelson Peterman's current research focuses primarily on dietary practices in vulnerable immigrant populations, including refugees. Peterman is interested in documenting how immigrant experiences combine with the U.S. food environment to affect dietary practices, risk of food insecurity and diet-related health outcomes in immigrant families. She also works to develop nutrition education programs suited to the experiences and practices of immigrants and refugees.
Her past research has focused on Cambodian refugees, and current work examines language and coping strategies that low-income, multicultural families use when dealing with food insecurity. During her year as a Family Research Scholar, Dr. Peterman developed a grant proposal for the project entitled "Predictors and Dietary and Health Consequences of Food Insecurity in Immigrant Families in the United States." Dr. Peterman assessed how immigrants' personal and family characteristics, dietary practices, and biochemical and health outcomes are related to food insecurity. Dr. Peterman's program of study contributed to the field of research on food insecurity and immigrant health by using a national data set to provide an assessment of how food insecurity is related to health outcomes in an immigrant context. The study also examined how generational differences between immigrant adults and children affected child and family dietary choices.

About Bachelor Gulch
Grand homes with exquisite mountain architecture featuring massive logs and rustic stonework make up the unmistakable sense of place found in Bachelor Gulch. Gated entrances offer an extra level of exclusivity, and there's not a single property that doesn't feature impressive views of the valley below and the jagged peaks of the Gore Mountain Range and Castle Peak in the distance. Bachelor Gulch has its own ski slopes, with a chairlift that serves the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and trails that provide a village-to-village ski experience from Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead. There's also a gondola connection to the Westin Riverfront in Avon at the base of Bachelor Gulch. It's the only residential ski neighborhood considered entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. While the Bachelor Gulch ski trails are part of Beaver Creek Resort, they feel much more private and less traveled. It's easy for residents to head out for a few runs without a lot of fuss getting in and out of the resort. Ski trails offer excellent hiking and biking during the summer and fall months, and the pristine golf club in neighboring Beaver Creek features challenging holes and expansive views to round out summertime fun. Bachelor Gulch is perfect for the buyer looking for privacy and luxury. Bachelor Gulch real estate is mostly known for high-end single-family homes, but luxury condominiums and fractional units are available through the residence club at the Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch.

Ever wonder what the Kardashian girls were like growing up? Well, here's your chance. Former nanny Pam Behan has penned a memoir of her years caring for the Kardashian family, starting on the day Kris married Bruce Jenner: Malibu Nanny: Adventures of the Former Kardashian Nanny.
True, Kris Jenner made Pam cry at the beginning. But did you know Kris also helped out with Pam's college tuition and cried at her graduation recital? What we really want to hear about is the Kardashian girls, though! The book has plenty of surprises about Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe. But we got the chance to chat with Pam ourselves and managed to squeeze out a few exclusives about life with the Kardashian kids.
Khloe seems to have been Pam's favorite. She was just 6 years old when Pam met her and always a total sweetheart. So we had to ask -- what has it been like for Pam to watch Khloe go through so much public turmoil lately? There's all the paternity rumors, the gossip about her marriage to Lamar Odom, difficulties conceiving a baby, getting fired from X Factor. Pam says it's been "heartbreaking" to see Khloe get attacked in the press. "We should give her a bit of a break." But she thinks Khloe will be fine in the end -- and for a surprising reason: She says Khloe is a lot like her mother, Kris Jenner.
"Like her mom, Khloe has a strong personality and speaks her mind," which Pam always admired. She's not likely to let things simmer under the surface until she explodes -- she's going to let it all out. Pam also says Khloe had always been very "happy-go-lucky," a "bubbly" girl who doesn't let a whole lot bother her.
Is she surprised that the Kardashians are so huge -- or did she see superstardom in their future even when the girls were teens? "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the Kardashians would be this famous," Pam says. She thought it was a possibility that they might be famous, given the celeb world they were already born into. But nothing like this! She's happy for them, of course.
That said ... Pam isn't surprised it's Kim who's the most famous of the siblings. (She has a hunch non-nonsense Kourtney is probably the least impressed by the sisters' fame.) In the book and in our interview, she emphasized that even as a girl, Kim was an extraordinarily gorgeous child who got a lot of attention for her looks. "She never wore makeup. She just has this amazing natural beauty," Pam says. But though Kim knew she was beautiful and she enjoyed the spotlight, she wasn't arrogant or unkind about it.
Sometimes when Kris' friends were over, Kim would wander in for a snack and Kris' guests would just gush over her. "Wow, Kris, she's so beautiful!" Pam says Kim would just smile and keep going. She was used to it, she accepted it, no big deal. Good grief, imagine growing up like that! Anyway, you can get Malibu Nanny as an ebook online now. It's a fun, eyebrow-raising read.
What do you imagine the Kardashian girls were like as girls and teenagers?

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
It is related that two religious fundamentalists once came to visit our late Master, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh (may Allah bless his exalted soul and raise his rank to those of His nearest beloveds.) They had bristly whiskers and Master invited them to stay for lunch. One of them sought to provoke the Master by asking how he could become a Sufi
Dr. Nurbakhsh said, "Cut off your beard."
"But," protested the man, "what about him?" pointing to Mr. Niktab, the Sheikh of Sheikhs, who had a long white beard.
"Ah!" The Master said, "But his is not a beard of religion. His is a beard of love."
Grow a beard made of love, O darvish
and claim the name of lover,
or do not pretend to the circle of the Friend.
Ya Haqq!
Note: With gratitude and special thanks to Terry Graham for the original telling of this true story on the Nimatullahi Sufi Order website.

It's the new school year, the kids have been back to school for two weeks now, and I'm trying to get a smooth routine running. I drew up a timetable for Big Kid and he appreciates it. He likes having a schedule, that kid. He likes to check the chart, stuck on the fridge, to see what he should be doing. I need a schedule too to make my life more organized and productive. The big thing now for me is the daily meal planner. Big Kid has after-school programmes every day except for Fridays. I have to plan the dishes according to how much time I have to cook e.g. Mondays – I have 30 minutes to cook and I do my prep in the afternoon, Wednesdays – dinner has to be ready by 5pm the latest and we're out of the door a quarter to 6pm. The last two weeks have been a trial run for both of us since most of his programmes have not started.
French Fridays have taken a back seat until I find the time to make the recipes. (Blogging too for that matter!) I could have made the honey-spiced madeleines, which is this week's recipe, this past weekend but I made Dorie Greenspan's Brr-ownies as York Peppermint Patties 8-pack were on sale for $1 at Wallyland. Furthermore, a family has invited us over for dinner and, I could be wrong but, I think brownies make better desserts to bring over than madeleines.
These brownies are a pretty good snack but they sure aren't pretty to photograph! However, these fudgy brownies with bites of peppermint patties were eaten so quickly that I could only get a photo like that before they were all gone.
Since I have sour cream to use up, I also made Dorie's Nutty, Chocolatey, Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake, another not-so-pretty-to-photograph cake. (Click the link to the recipe for a second recipe from Dorie.) I used only pecans and mini chocolate chips for the swirl as Hubby doesn't like raisins. I love the flavour combination of the swirl – cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans and chocolate – and it goes so well with the buttery, orangy cake.
I'm not surprised there was no picture for this recipe in the book but it really tastes better than it looks. 🙂
One new thing this year that I'm very happy about is Little Guy going to school twice a week at the school just 10 minutes from the house. As long as the weather permits, we would walk there and back. This morning I let him cycle to school on his bike that has never seen the outdoors before. It has always been an indoor toy and now that it's almost time to give it away, I decided to let Little Guy use it on the streets before he really outgrows it! Time to seek out a new bike for him…

Setting the Record Straight on AB 32 and Jobs
San Francisco Chronicle
The UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education released a report in 2008 on jobs and California's Global Warming Solutions Act, known as Assembly Bill 32. In that report, we concluded that AB32 would lead to net job growth in the state. Three years later, we still think generating new jobs in California is a great idea.
So we've been stunned over the last six months to see our research cited repeatedly by supporters of Proposition 23 who are working to overturn AB32. Most recently, Jim Kellogg of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union wrote an opinion piece (Insight, Sept. 12, 2010) citing our paper to claim that the law will hurt employment.
Kellogg is incorrect and we want to set the record straight – again.
We reported that new jobs would be created through greater energy efficiency and production of renewable energy. Our state's leadership in clean energy policy will help generate opportunities for California by fostering leading-edge technologies, processes and products.
The fact that 67 percent of the United States' clean energy venture capital is invested in California (with a dramatic spike in the year following the passage of AB32) suggests that clean energy policies attract capital and create jobs. In fact, jobs in the clean energy sector have grown by 5 percent during the recession while overall employment has fallen.
Our study noted that there are 3 million jobs in what the California Air Resources Board defined as "heavy carbon emitting industries" that may be affected by this clean technology law. We indicated that these industries would have to adapt to clean technology in the same way every industry has had to adapt as technology breakthroughs have occurred.
For example, when California switches to cleaner trucks because of the new law, the number of trucking jobs will not decrease, but the trucking industry will need updated processes and workers will need new skills in manufacturing, truck repair and maintenance. Our study found that additional investment in job training would be a good method for easing these transitions.
We also pointed to the negative impact on the economy and our communities if no action is taken to address climate change.
Kellogg's piece may mislead readers to think that labor unions are for Prop. 23, but the ballot measure is strongly opposed by the vast majority of California's unions. The California Labor Federation, representing more than 2.1 million California workers and more than 1,200 affiliate unions, voted almost unanimously in July to formally oppose Prop. 23.
Many unions are playing leading roles in shaping the clean energy economy. To name just a few, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is doing cutting-edge training in energy-efficient advanced lighting control systems and solar technology. The Communication Workers of America are advancing smart grid technologies that will help us use energy more efficiently. And the Sheet Metal workers are installing efficient heating and cooling systems that significantly reduce the consumption of peak-demand energy, the most expensive and dirtiest energy consumed in our state.
Taking one step beyond our initial report on AB32, it is our best, educated estimate that recession or no recession, Prop. 23 is the real threat to California's jobs today.

Right about now several young players are beginning their professional baseball careers on the heels of Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft, which concluded Saturday.
High school and college players may know baseball, but the professional business is another world and it was interesting to hear what a couple of Angels drafted in the first round a few years back had to say about the type of advice they would impart to those entering that realm.
Cam Bedrosian did not mince words when asked what the new draftees might expect.
"Enjoy it because soon you'll be playing and you'll be getting into the grind of minor-league baseball," said Bedrosian, whose father Steve had a 14-year career mostly as a relief pitcher.
High schoolers play about three times a week. College players go more than that, but their season is still much shorter than a full minor-league season.
"Everybody said the biggest thing about it is just what people said about the minor leagues – it's grueling; it's not easy," said Bedrosian, 22. "I kind of figured that, but until you get there you don't really understand it. That's the thing, that you have to experience it to know it."
Absorbing words of wisdom from those in the know is also a good idea, Bedrosian said. He listened to his father.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "Not only my dad, my whole family. They helped me through everything. I wouldn't have gotten through it without them."
Bedrosian was drafted No. 29 in the first round out of high school in 2010. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery in 2011, making his recent call-up to the big club even more impressive.
First baseman C.J. Cron also was drafted in the first round. He was selected No. 17 in 2011. His advice? Stay the course, and be a sponge.
"Everyone's drafted for a reason," said Cron, 24. "There's things everyone has to work on coming out of college. My advice would just be to kind of stick with what got you here, don't try to deviate from that, and learn a lot. Learn as much as you can along the way."
Cron was drafted out of the University of Utah. For him, college ball was the way to go before getting paid to play.
"College helped me mature a lot – body, mentality, everything," he said. "The time I spent in college, they'll (high school players drafted) spend down on the lower levels. It's just how they take it and the kind of development they have down there."
Cron was asked if being a first-round pick made it difficult to tune out the accompanying high expectations.
"Not really," he said. "One, I don't really listen to many of them anyway. I have high expectations of myself. I hold myself to a higher standard than most people do anyway."
Pujols struggling with RISP
Albert Pujols entered play Tuesday batting .149 with runners in scoring position. In 74 at-bats in such instances, he has 11 hits and 17 of his 35 RBIs. Manager Mike Scioscia apparently isn't worried about Pujols, who typically bats third.
"I think if you look at the spots that we've set the table for guys, Howie Kendrick (.254 RISP) has had an incredible amount of guys in scoring position, Erick Aybar (.313) has. I don't think it's just the third spot that you're settling on," said Scioscia, who was asked if Pujols might be dropped down in the order because of his RISP average. "So the situation's going to find guys. Albert, I think his presence is huge in the middle part of our lineup."
Scioscia said Pujols' troubles weigh heavily on him.
"He knows he's better, we know he's better," Scioscia said of Pujols, who has a lifetime batting average of .319 but is hitting just .245 this season. "I think of the other guys, if you look at the 4 spot, with Josh (Hamilton), it's tough to set the table better than we did this last week for him hitting fourth.
"So I think the way the lineup is right now is really going to be our best look, and we want this to continue to evolve and Albert will find it. We know that."
Pujols, making $23,000,000 this season, has 15 home runs. But not only is his overall batting average the lowest it's been in a given season, so is his on-base-percentage of .303.

Gilbert Arenas did not want his former fiancé Laura Govan to appear on VH1's "Basketball Wives" or mention his name on it. So, he sued.
Well, a federal judge in California wasn't having it to the point that an anti-SLAPP motion was granted "that strikes all of Arenas' claims as an impingement of free speech except for allegations of a publicity rights infringement."
Gilbert maintained that "Govan's association with a show titled 'Basketball Wives' could establish a connection to Arenas' likeness and trademark." Well, it will. But, as reported by Hollywood Reporter, this afternoon's decision states:
In an age of tabloid journalism and celebrity obsession, news outlets frequently uncover and publicize connections between celebrities. For example, in the run-up to the 2008 election, it was widely reported that then-Senator Obama was a distant relative of then-Vice President Cheney, though presumably neither individual sought to be associated with the other.

A three-year plan was implemented to improve efficiencies across the bank and reduce operating expenses by 8%.
During the financial crisis, a large multinational bank struggled to maintain its market position. Investors were challenging its operating model and overall performance. The bank decided to transform its retail banking unit by reducing costs, streamlining the organization, exiting low-priority markets in favor of high-priority ones, and developing a consistent global operating model that leveraged economies of scale.
BCG worked with the bank to create new target business and operating models. The target business model established fundamental principles about how the retail banking unit should be run. The operating model created a global structure to execute the business strategy.
The entire organization was simplified and the number of management layers was significantly reduced. The result was a lower-cost organization that was more focused on delivering value to clients.
A three-year plan was implemented to improve efficiencies across the bank and reduce operating expenses by 8%.
Within 9 months of implementing the new structure, 25% of the targeted savings were realized.

You can scratch "everything Bill Paxton says in Aliens" off the list of supercuts that need to be made –– someone very kindly compiled all of Bill Paxton's speaking lines into the above video; heard together, without interruption, they sound almost... philosophical. Now all someone needs to do is write all these down and collect them in a book titled Chicken Soup for the Panicky Asshole's' Soul.
For the record, I feel like I should get bonus points for getting through this article without making any kind of a "game over" reference. That is all.

MANALAPAN, NJ — RetroFitness Enterprises is expanding in the Northeast. The company opened two 12,000-square-foot units this summer: one in Wallington, NJ, and the other in Cherry Hill, NJ.
At the end of September, the Wallington facility had more than 800 new memberships compared to the typical sign-up of 150-250 new members monthly at most RetroFitness facilities, says Eric Casaburi, CEO of RetroFitness. The Cherry Hill club has also been well received, he says.
The company also converted a club in Methuen, MA, the first of several planned facilities in Massachusetts.
The franchisor has signed franchisee territories in the Washington, DC area and several markets in Pennsylvania. During the fourth quarter of 2006, RetroFitness will host club openings and pre-sales in four more towns in New Jersey, expanding into six additional cities in New Jersey in the first quarter of 2007.

Both of my beautiful, precious babies aren't babies anymore. I've known this for quite some time, but the reality of it really hit me this week. You know your kids are growing up when they reach certain milestones.
Little Man learned to read before the school year ended. Things quickly progressed over the summer. He sounds out and learns new words every week. He can read words on tv. He recognizes words on menus and signs. I can't even spell around him anymore. We have a lot of books around the house. Many are the ones I read to him when he was little. Others are what he refers to as baby books. He asked me to get some books just for him that he can read on his own. I did just that. Since our local Borders is closing down, I picked up some Level 1 books for a steal. Little Man is one proud reading machine.
Everyone told me potty training would be easier with a girl. Little Man got the hang of it right before his 3rd birthday. Little Bit mastered it this week, four months shy of hers. Technically, it was easier, but not by much. If there's one thing I can be certain of, potty training makes me want to pull my hair out. Little Bit does everything her way. She showed interest in the potty several months ago. Her interest waned in a few days, so we assumed she wasn't ready and stopped. Two weeks ago, she started taking off her diaper and using the potty when she felt like it. She was inconsistent, but making progress. This week I put her in big girl underwear. She's finally got the hang of it minus the occasional accident. Now, she prances around the house in her Dora the Explorer and Tinkerbell delicates like she owns the place.
Seriously, where did my babies go?

linus torvalds
A Nobel peace prize to Open Source
I was amused by the idea to propose Linus Torvalds for a Nobel peace prize. But it does make sense to honor the Open Source community in general for the collaboration across many boundaries. Open Source levels the playing field for anyone to innovate and improve, it is an extension of what is known in the academic world applied to Information Technology on a global scale, facilitated by the Internet.
The original link lists a few projects for the common good, but to me it's not so much the individual projects that make a difference, but rather the global mindset it created among peers for the better good without discrimination. And there are many more examples to proof this than looking at specific projects. It would harm our efforts if we would only look at specific initiatives, rather than our collective collaboration.

Crafting, Elementalist, Guardian, Guild Wars 2, GW2 Guru, Necro, Ranger, Thief, Warrior
After reading interview after interview, watching video after video, reading article after article, and stuffing myself on all of the new knowledge from PAX, I must say, I'm exhausted. While Hunter and Nicholas and others continue to analyze the information from PAX, I am content to wait for people to update the wiki with new info about skills and traits and such. I'm also a short skip away from speculating further about professions 7 (mesmer) and 8 (who knows). I do have some thoughts on all of the PAX info though. FYI, I did not visit PAX. I sat at home and hit F5 on the GW2Guru thread like everyone else.
First of all, I am tired of watching guardian and thief videos. They are fantastic to watch and I'm excited to try out the guardian now that I've seen more of what they can do. I'm also up to the challenge of playing a thief. I'm just tired of watching essentially the same two videos. I know these guys are the new kids on the block, but there was some interesting information about the other 4 professions that was overlooked due to the zeal with which people created and posted videos of these two professions.
I got to see the warrior wield a greatsword for a little while, which was nice. It looks like a devastating weapon for sure. I also got to see a ranger video that was well done, though for some reason the player wasn't using a pet. Both of these videos can be seen on GuildWars2Live.com.
What really disappointed me was I never found a clear video of a necro wielding a staff or of the elementalist using air attunement. These are two of the professions I am most interested in playing and I was hoping to get more info about them. Also, apparently there have been changes made to the necro's death shroud skills (namely, Shadow Fiend was removed). Thankfully, I found the new skill for that on the wiki (Dark Path if you're interested). Only a handful of the air spells have been posted on wiki and I haven't seen any video of them in action. /pout
As for crafting, I saw several videos that included people acquiring materials during play. It really was as simple as walking up to the resource, interacting with it for about 5 seconds, and moving on with your business. The crafting UI was available for interaction and viewing, but actual trufax crafting wasn't available due to the lack of workbenches in the demo. Still, I'm excited about the crafting system as a whole and it looks pretty user friendly and non-punishing. I have zero experience with crafting from other games, so I'm really looking forward to exploring it.
On a final note, or should I say ANet teaser: Aquatic Weapons.
That pretty much sums up my take from PAX East. I'm looking forward to hearing what Izzie at Talk Tyria and Ravious at Kill Ten Rats have to say about their experiences at PAX. If you haven't seen them, you can watch a video of them with several other GW Fans and bloggers at the meet and greet on GW2Live.
EDIT: New gameplay videos were added for ele, necro, ranger, and warrior on the PAX thread. My evening is planned out for me!

Arapaima gigas
About This Animal
SIZE: Up to 15 feet in the wild
RANGE: Northern South America: Amazon and Essequibo river systems
HABITAT: Freshwater; demersal
DIET: These fish are fierce predators, sometimes leaping out of the water to grab birds, lizards and even small primates from low-hang
ON EXHIBIT: River Giants exhibit in River Journey
This is the largest fish found strictly in fresh water. The arapaima is very unique among fish— it can breathe air! They have a very primitive lung. They can take up oxygen through their gills also but they typically live in oxygen-poor waterways and supplement with air breathing.
Arapaima are listed as endangered fishes according to the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species, or CITES. This means that their trade is strictly regulated.

RFID Student Attendance System – How Child Safety India is improving student safety and attendance throughout the country?
Our solution is an Automatic School Attendance System, which is based on RFID, and operates in wireless mode. The solution comprises of integrated Automatic SMS system which sends automatic SMS notification, as soon as the student arrives/ departs from the school. A child carries a Digital I-Card, which is based on RFID, which they show on the card reader, while entering or leaving the school. Once the student shows the RFID based Identity card, the Real Time messaging system sends an SMS alert to the parents, with the text as ""Mummy/Daddy, I'm in school now!". In this process, the system captures the attendance data, and stores in the cloud operating system. This enables the school authorities to maintain as well as track the attendance data on real time, from anywhere in the world, since this is a web based solution. However, there is no requirement of internet in the school, since this is PnP (Plug N Play) solution. RFID School Student Attendance RFID Walk Through Smart Gate Reader security gates
The device is absolutely easy to be operated, and does not require any form of specialized training. A lot of research has gone in developing the protocol of the solution. As per the operating standard, as soon as the student passes through the Smart Gate Reader, an SMS will be triggered automatically to the parents mobile. The system has a well-developed web based interface, which is capable of real time monitoring & reporting. The solution eliminates the need of human interference, in order to operate the hardware. The attendance captured is registered immediately, with an option of pulling up daily as well as monthly reports in different formats. The solution can be instrumental in improving student attendance ratio. Since reports can be pulled with just a click, it reduces the administrative work. An administrator can generate customized report, based on his needs. Moreover, user doesn't have to spend much on trainings, since this is easy to operate. The system has built in notification system, which triggers the alerts, along with real time student dashboard, which will display live data.

Last Tuesday Chestnut Hill College claimed its first home field victory under new men's lacrosse coach Brian Dougherty, posting an 11-8 decision over visiting American International College. The out-of-conference win leveled the Griffins' record at 2-2 overall, while they remained 0-1 within the East Coast Conference.
Mike Landau filled the nets with four goals and fellow freshman Mike Melnychencko chalked up three goals and one assist for CHC, which received 15 saves from sophomore goalie Dakota Maurer. The contest featured relatively few penalties and no man-up goals.
Coach Dougherty especially enjoyed one aspect of the win – the fact that his club battled back after falling behind 0-3 early and trailing 4-5 at halftime.
"We need to learn how to win, because we haven't won very much," he said of the CHC team, which was started from scratch prior to the 2010 season. "Every chance we get to learn how to win is going to benefit our guys."
Even though the college was in the middle of spring break, a fair-sized crown turned out for the game, and the new sport seems to be generating some enthusiasm in the CHC community.
"The students like to watch us, and since this is where I grew up, I've also got a lot of my friends and their kids coming to games," Dougherty pointed out. "Our players' parents really support us, too. They were here today and they travel to see us on the road."
The Griffins trailed 4-1 at the end of the first quarter, getting their icebreaker from sophomore Mark Winkelspecht. Chestnut Hill was back within one point at halftime, 5-4, as Melnychenko fired his first goal and Landau netted his first two.
Asked if there's any one area where he want to see his squad improve, Dougherty quickly replied "Definitely our clearing. That will become a huge factor when we play the tougher teams in our conference. You just can't give the other team 30 more possessions than you – eventually they're going to score. When we learn to get the ball from our defensive end up to our offense consistently, we'll be okay."
In last Tuesday's tilt the Griffins helped themselves in regard to ball possession by winning 16 of the 23 total face-offs.
The halftime tally of 5-4 stayed on the board for more than four minutes as the third quarter got underway, then the hosts went ahead for good with a three-minute, 3-0 run. Landau sandwiched two markers around one by Melnychencko in this scoring burst.
The Yellow Jackets were back within one point at 8-7 with 4:54 left in the third quarter, then half-a-minute later Griffins freshman Kevin Sonderschafer looped out from behind the cage to score, sending the home team into the final period with a 9-7 edge.
Landau got off two early shots, but one hit a goalpost and the second burrowed into the outside of the net. American International's Dan MacIssac stuffed a shot into the upper left corner to make it a one-goal game with nine minutes left, but the Yellow Jackets wouldn't score again.
In a one-minute span in the middle of the period goals by Melnychenko and sophomore Junji Wiener completed the scoring for the afternoon. The visitors' last best chance to start a late rally came when CHC had a man sent to the penalty box for a push with 3:29 to go. During the 30-second shorthanded spell, the Griffins' Maurer turned aside a shot by the Yellow Jackets and Chestnut Hill was soon back at full strength.
"We've still got a long way to go," Dougherty remarked afterwards. "This is going to be a journey, and we still only have freshmen and sophomores. We don't graduate anybody for two years, so if we just keep bringing in solid players and keep developing the players we already have, I don't see why this can't be a success."
UPDATE – The Griffins followed up Tuesday's win with another home field victory, this time beating the second-ranked team in the ECC, Mercyhurst College of Erie, Pa. Winkelspecht led CHC with three goals and one assist and Landau scored in sudden death overtime to wrap up the encounter with an 8-7 final tally. Maurer made the last of his 13 saves early in overtime to keep the Griffins in it, and sophomore middie Alex Sabia won eight of his 11 face-offs in the game.

Lucy Larcom was typical of many young mill girls who worked in one of the many mills in New England. She was born in Beverly, Massachusetts and in 1830 she and her mother moved to Lowell. In 1835 when she turned 11 she began working in a mill. Many of the girls arrived here alone, some from the countryside in neighboring towns or from further away, like Maine. Some stayed until they had saved enough money, got homesick, tired of the work or helped their parents through their hardship. Lucy worked in Lowell until age 22, then moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and several other places. Years later she became an English literature teacher at Wheaton College. She never married, died in Boston (see death register below) and is buried in Beverly, Massachusetts (see photo below).
The school children who visit Lowell, all learn about her and other mill girls, and there is quite about her life in the Mill Girls exhibit (maintained by the National Park Service).Above and below is the Lucy Larcom Park in Lowell, Massachusetts.

A comment on Blackeye's Trail
It took his party a week of tough slogging over trails that were wet in places, and sometimes very steep.
But he also said that a hiker and writer named Murphy Shewchuk had left blazes on enough trees that they could find the trail.
Murphy Shewchuk is a writer of hiking books; I own at least one of his older books (which I cannot at the moment find) and have borrowed others from the library.
The Shewchuk book that covers the Coquihalla brigade trail is called "Coquihalla Country; A guide to the North Cascade Mountains and the Nicola Valley," (2nd edition, Merritt, B.C.: Sonotek Publishing Ltd., date?).
You can purchase his publications online at www.books-about-bc.com
They are excellent guides to British Columbia trails old and new, and the publications include information on a number of the brigade trails.
Another book you might find in a second hand book-store is Bob Harris' "The Best of B.C.'s Hiking Trails; Twenty Great Hikes by Bob Harris," (Maclean Hunter, 1986).
It, too, contains information on portions of the brigade trails, but not necessarily up-to-date information.
It is true that when these trails are not regularly used and maintained, they quickly disappear.
In order to make these trails suitable for the hundreds of horses of the New Caledonia and Fort Colvile brigades, the fur traders had to build safe fords, or sometimes actual bridges, over the many mudholes, creeks, and rivers they had to cross.
If the ground was too soft, the passage of as many as 400 horses would turn the trail into a quagmire that later horses could not cross.
Gradient was important, but the fur traders could accept a steep slope if the hillside allowed room for switchbacks.
But that meant that employees at the local forts, and Native employees, took hoes and axes and carved trail up and down the steep hills.
In his journal of his 1847 expedition (A/B/40/An3.1, PABC), Upward Journey, Anderson wrote: "Today, not being decided as to the line to be adopted we merely chipped the road, the Indians undertaking to finish it, under the superintendence of Pahallak. Having had proof of their willingness & capacity in this line, I have no hesitation in confiding the matter to them, more especially as the distance to be cut is short, the chief portion lying over bare hills."
Pahallak was Anderson's Native guide, a Sto:lo chief from Chilliwack area, upriver from Fort Langley on the lower Fraser River.
A few days later Anderson wrote: "Settled with the Indians who had assisted us, paying them with ammunition, tobacco, knives, &c. I have lent 3 axes to the chief of Squa-zoum [the village near Boston Bar, B.C.], 3 axes to Pahallak, and 1 axe & 1 hoe to the old man of the Spuzzum [at the mouth of the Spuzzum River north of Yale, BC] for the purpose of making further improvements, where necessary, in the road, for which they are to be compensated upon our passage in the spring."
In these quotes Anderson is speaking of the the Anderson River trail the brigades travelled in 1848.
But the same applied in 1849, when Donald Manson reported to Governor Simpson that he had hired a strong party of Natives to open the new trail over the Coquihalla.
By 1849, Anderson was in charge of Fort Colvile, on the Columbia River.
Because of the American Indian uprising along the Columbia River, the Fort Colvile brigades brought out their furs by the brigade trail over the Coquihalla mountain to Fort Hope.
When Anderson's brigaders rode out of Fort Colvile in June 1850, no one knew whether the new road over the mountains could be crossed with horses so early in the season.
From the base of the Coquihalla at Campement des Femmes, near modern-day Tulameen, the men and horses of the Fort Colvile brigade began their journey up the narrow river valley to the top of the mountains.
Everyone was prepared for the worst.
Their fears were confirmed when they discovered that snow lay everywhere on the rough mountain plateau.
But the snow crust was hard enough to support the loaded horses, and they crossed with little difficulty.
This description of the part of the Coquihalla trail comes from the book, "A Pioneer Gentlewoman in British Columbia; the Recollections of Susan Allison," Edited by Margaret A. Ormsby (Vancouver: UBC Press, 1976) pp. 9-10.
At the time of Susan's recollections, she is a young woman newly arrived at Hope and not yet married to John Fall Allison, early settler in the Similkameen and Princeton area.
"From the doorway of our shack we could see the Hudson's Bay Company's Post and watch the pack trains come in from Colvile, Keremeos and other places. Sometimes there would be a grand stampede and the pack trains would disrupt. Horses and men could be seen through a misty cloud of dust, madly dashing all over the Hope flat, lassos flying, dogs barking, hens flying for safety anywhere. Suddenly the tempest would subside as fast as it had arisen, the pack boys would emerge from the clouds of dust leading the ring leaders in the stampede. Those Hudson's Bay Company horses, though called 'cayooses,' were most of them splendid animals, hardy and enduring, with lots of good horse sense. Mr. McKay told me that they really were descended from the Spanish Barb brought to America over three hundred years ago by the Spaniards and left to run wild had spread all over the continent. It is possibly quite true. They were quick, hardy, and enduring.
"In the early days we had no roads, only rough trails mostly those used by the Hudson's Bay Company and Indians -- with no attempt at grades. In crossing the Hope Mountains the Hudson's Bay Company Brigade always took twice as many horses as were needed and went well armed. The horses were taken to enable them to negotiate "The Slide" on Mansen's [Manson's] Mountain where they invariably lost half their horses. There was no road, the trail ended at the top of the Slide and the horses were driven over the bank and once started had to go on sliding to the bottom. A few of the horses who had been used before had learned to brace themselves and went without being forced to go, and usually came through with accident. Coming back it was easier on them...." [One paragraph omitted].
"I shall never forget my first sight of a Hudson's Bay Company Brigade train coming in from Colvile. I had gone for a stroll on the Hope-Similkameen trail. There were still a few berries and I was getting a "feed" when I heard bells tinkling and looking up saw a light cloud of dust from which emerged a solitary horseman, the most picturesque figure I had ever seen. He rode a superb chestnut horse, satiny and well groomed, untired and full of life in spite of the dust. He himself wore a beautifully embroidered buckskin shirt with tags and fringes, buckskin pants, embroidered leggings and soft cowboy hat. He was as surprised to see me as I was to see him, for he abruptly reined in his horse and stared down at me, while I equally astonished stared at him. Then, as the Bell Boy and other horses rode up, he lifted his hat and passed on. I never met him again, but was told he was a Hudson's Bay officer in charge of the Colvile train and that he said he was never more surprised in his life than to see a white girl on the trail -- he had lived so long without seeing anyone except Indians."
This was in summer, 1860. In the introduction of the book the editor writes that "Susan Moir [her maiden name] never forgot the sight of Chief Factor Angus McDonald, dressed in buckskin garments and beaded leggings, leading the Colvile brigade in 1860 down the last stretch of the trail..."
Angus McDonald was Anderson's clerk while he was in charge of Fort Colvile, and he took over Anderson's position when Anderson retired in 1852.
I will have plenty to say about McDonald when I get to Fort Colvile; he was a well loved character and Anderson's son, James, had plenty to say about him.
As for the Coquihalla brigade trail, it has been re-discovered many times in the years after the fur traders stopped using it.
I have an unsourced note that tells me the last fur brigades came out over their trail in 1863.
There was no need to use a rough trail that damaged valuable horses when perfectly good wagon roads, such as the Dewdney Trail and the Cariboo Road, took people wherever they wanted to go in safety.
Sometime in the 1980's I discovered that old Forest Service maps showed Blackeye's Trail and the brigade trail.
However, when I purchased my own copy of the Hope Princeton sheet in 1993, I found that the trail had been erased from their maps; probably again overgrown.
If you visit the archives you can view (and even request a copy of) a 1939 B.C. Lands and Forests Topographic Map which shows Blackeye's Trail and the Coquihalla Brigade trail, amongst others of historic value.
This map is identified by the number CM/C724, BC Archives.
In the bottom left hand corner it contains the information about the many trails shown on the map -- Blackeye's Trail; Brigade Trails, including Anderson's River and the Coquihalla Trail; the Whatcom Trail [1858-9]; and the Dewdney or Hope Trail built in 1860 and widened to a wagon road in 1861.
Blackeye's Trail is the route by which Anderson crossed the Coquihalla in 1846 and correctly bears the name of Blackeye's Trail.
When Blackeye told Anderson about his trail, he said that it descended the mountain to arrive at the place where the rhododendrons bloomed (Rhododendron Flats, Manning Park).
But when Blackeye's son showed Henry Newsham Peers over the trail I have sometimes (in error) called Blackeye's Trail -- that is, the trail that became the brigade trail over the Coquihalla -- he showed him a trail that crossed Blackeye's trail and descended the mountains to the Coquihalla River to the west, by a creek later named Peers Creek.
Perhaps this trail should be called Blackeye's son's trail.
There still exist a number of articles written in years past about these brigade trails, by men who actually re-explored the trails and wrote about their adventures.
I will list them below; most issues of Okanagan Historical journals can be found in your local library.

Many years ago an article about Harley R. Hatfield appeared in our local newspaper, The Daily Colonist, Sunday May 23, 1976.
It was titled "A Pathfinder," and written by Eric Sismey.
It begins with, "About 10 years ago he [Hatfield] began, after enlisting one or two history-minded friends, to trace century old Hudson's Bay Fur Brigade trails; one from Hope to Tulameen, the other through the Okanagan Valley...
"The first 60-mile eight-day hike from Tulameen to Hope was made in 1971 by a troop of Venture Scouts under the leadership of Mr. Hatfield and his trail blazer friend Eric Jacobson of Princeton."
The article went on to tell how Mr. Hatfield was attempting to to press the Provincial Government into extending certain boundaries of Manning Park to include sections of the old trail, preventing logging on the trail.
He was unsuccessful but, in spite of that, Harley Hatfield "made an indelible mark that can never be erased from the history of British Columbia."
Without Hatfield's many articles in various historical journals, I could never have written about the brigade trails with any expertise at all.
Thank you, Mr. Hatfield, and all the other men who tramped these trails with you.

Hi nancyReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading your website articles.
I have been working on historical trails in the northern cascades for the past 5 years. Much of my information has been from the Hatfield collection.Harley's children and his good friend harvie Walker have attended some of the trail re-opening ceremonies...it has been quite a journey.I think you would love to hear more about the trail and its present condition. I
just wanted to pass on this website www.hopemountain.org for more information. We have been working on the restoration and promotion of the HBC 1849 Brigade trail from Hope to Tulameen.
Kind regards,
kelley Cook. Princeton, BC
Hi, Kelley. I am hiking a piece of the brigade trail on weekend of August 27th, perhaps will see you there. NancyReplyDelete

I enjoy all aspects of ecology, but my research focuses on running water environments, from small brooks to the Allegheny River, which runs along the southern edge of campus.
In the early 1990s Jim Miller and I developed a technique for tracing the movement of organic particles in streams, which we used in a small stream in Allegheny State Park.
From 1994-1998 I participated in a large, National Science Foundation-sponsored study of particle transport in Idaho streams. This study was funded by a $600,000 grant to Idaho State University and involved the use of radioactive tracers to track organic particles.
