At The Plate – The Cubs built an early lead but once again had trouble holding it as they dropped to 3-9 on the season. Darwin Barney had a huge game in his last rehab appearance, he was 4-for-5 with a double, and two runs scored. Ryan Sweeney continues to mash the ball, he went 2-for-4 with a home run (3), three RBI's and a run scored. Brett Jackson was 1-for-3 at the plate with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored.
On The Mound – The Cubs were beat up from start to finish in this one. Drew Carpenter got the start, he went 4.1 innings giving up five runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out one. Emailin Caridad went 1.2 innings out of the pen giving up one run on three hits while striking out three. Both Jensen Lewis and Jaye Chapman continued their horrendous 2013 as Lewis gave up two runs, and Chapman gave up three.
At The Plate – Jae-Hoon Ha continued his red-hot start going 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, an RBI, and a run scored. Rubi Silva has been the hottest hitter in the Smokies lineup, he was 3-for-4 with a home run (2), four RBI's, a double, and two runs scored, he's now hitting .394 on the season. Jonathan Mota was 2-for-4 in the loss.
On The Mound – Dallas Beeler put together a quality start and was in line for the win before the bullpen lost it. Beeler went six innings giving up three runs on four hits while walking three and striking out four. Tony Zych went 1.1 innings out of the pen giving up two runs on two hits while walking one. Trey McNutt had a rough go of it as he not only blew the save but got the loss, he went 1.1 innings giving up three runs on three hits while walking two.
At The Plate – The D-Cubs continued to pound the ball in a 8-1 victory over Clearwater to move one game above .500 on the season. Zeke DeVoss was very productive from the lead-off spot going 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, and three RBI's. John Andreoli was 2-for-5 with two runs scored, he's now hitting .341 on the season. Ben Carhart went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored. Stephen Bruno (2-for-4) and David Bote (2-for-3) each had two hits in the win as Daytona pounded out thirteen total.
On The Mound – Ben Wells was outstanding as he found his command in this one. Wells went six scoreless innings to earn his first win, he gave up five hits while walking one and striking out four. Yeiper Castillo went two scoreless innings out of the pen, he gave up one hit while striking out two. Sheldon McDonald worked the ninth inning, he gave up one run on three hits while striking out one.
NOTES: Kane County was snowed/rained out….again, shocking.

Web::Dispatch::HTTPMethods - Helpers to make RESTFul Dispatchers Easier
package MyApp:WithHTTPMethods; use Web::Simple; use Web::Dispatch::HTTPMethods; sub as_text { [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], [$_[0]->{REQUEST_METHOD}, $_[0]->{REQUEST_URI}] ] } sub dispatch_request { sub (/get) { GET { as_text(pop) } }, sub (/get-head) { GET { as_text(pop) } HEAD { [204,[],[]] }, }, sub (/get-post-put) { GET { as_text(pop) } ## NOTE: no commas separating http methods POST { as_text(pop) } PUT { as_text(pop) } }, }
Exports the most commonly used HTTP methods as subroutine helpers into your Web::Simple based application. Use of these methods additionally adds an automatic HTTP code 405 "Method Not Allowed" response if none of the HTTP methods match for a given dispatch and also adds a dispatch rule for "HEAD" if no "HEAD" exists but a "GET" does (in which case the "HEAD" returns the "GET" dispatch with an empty body.) We also add support at the end of the chain for the OPTIONS method. This defaults to HTTP 200 OK + Allows http headers. We also try to set correct HTTP headers such as "Allows" as makes sense based on your dispatch chain. The following dispatch chains are basically the same: sub dispatch_request { sub (/get-http-methods) { GET { [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], ['Hello World']] } }, sub(/get-classic) { sub (GET) { [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], ['Hello World']] }, sub (HEAD) { [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], []] }, sub (OPTIONS) { [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain', Allows=>'GET,HEAD,OPTIONS'], []]; }, sub () { [405, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain', Allows=>'GET,HEAD,OPTIONS'], ['Method Not Allowed']] }, } } The idea here is less boilerplate to distract the reader from the main point of the code and also to encapsulate some best practices. NOTE You currently cannot mix http method style and prototype sub style in the same scope, as in the following example: sub dispatch_request { sub (/get-head) { GET { ... } sub (HEAD) { ... } }, } If you try this our code will notice and issue a "die". If you have a good use case please bring it to the authors. EXPORTS This automatically exports the following subroutines: GET PUT POST HEAD DELETE OPTIONS

Lawyers for Seth Mazzaglia, the man accused of murdering college student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott of Westborough, Mass., want his trial to begin in six months, but New Hampshire prosecutors are requesting more time.
Lawyers for Seth Mazzaglia, the man accused of murdering college student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott of Westborough, Mass., want his trial to begin in six months, but New Hampshire prosecutors are requesting more time.
At a hearing Wednesday, Mazzaglia's court-appointed attorneys asked a judge to schedule Mazzaglia's trial in January 2014. But Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley lobbied for a June trial date, explaining that prosecutors will be tied up in the coming year with unrelated cases.
Hinckley will be presenting murder charges against Fearrie Ray, a New York woman accused of stabbing a man to death at his apartment in Ashland, N.H., in 2010.
Geoffrey Ward, another prosecutor working Mazzaglia's case, is scheduled for a separate murder trial in January 2014.
Judge John Lewis considered the arguments Wednesday during a pretrial conference in Strafford County Superior Court. Hinckley said prosecutors have already provided Mazzaglia's defense team with the bulk of the investigatory documents used in the case, with the exception of some forensic test results, which are not yet available. Public Defender Joachim Barth said defense attorneys are still sorting out two areas of concern regarding discovery materials with the state, although it's expected they'll reach a resolution.
Both sides agreed the trial is likely to take a week and a half, plus another week for jury selection. Lewis set new deadlines for some of the pretrial procedures in the case, and also set a date in September by which the parties must present any motions to suppress evidence allowed into the trial.
Mazzaglia is accused of using a rope to strangle Marriott inside his apartment on Oct. 9, 2012, then discarding her body in the waters off of Peirce Island in Portsmouth.
Mazzaglia initially denied any involvement in Marriott's death, but later confessed under questioning to strangling the University of New Hampshire sophomore, according to a police affidavit.
After being incarcerated for approximately six months, Mazzaglia was indicted on murder charges by a New Hampshire grand jury in May.
Prosecutors have laid out multiple theories of the crime. One first-degree murder count alleges Mazzaglia "purposely" strangled Marriott to death with a rope; another asserts he "knowingly" caused her death in the course of a sexual assault.
Mazzaglia was also indicted on a second-degree murder charge, which alleges he "recklessly" caused Marriott's death with extreme indifference to the value of human life.
Prosecutors have also charged Mazzaglia and his girlfriend, Kathryn McDonough, of Portsmouth, with trying to deceive police.
After disposing of Marriott's body, the pair allegedly drove Marriott's car to a UNH parking lot, then walked home to Dover, discarding evidence that would tie them to the crime along the way.
At the conclusion of Wednesday's court proceeding, Hinckley was asked by a reporter to comment on the news that at least one tooth was recently found in the area of Peirce Island.
The discovery was made by a Somersworth resident, who notified police. On Monday, Foster's learned the tooth does not appear to be human, since it is considered to be too large.
"Frankly, I don't know why I'm getting calls with respect to the teeth," Hinckley said Wednesday. "It's entirely speculative, and I think it does a disservice to her family, who's hurting very much from the loss of their daughter, to draw any type of connection between the two. The search is still ongoing by harbor patrol, but I have no further comment on that."
Jim Haddadin is a staff reporter for Foster's Daily Democrat and fosters.com in Dover, N.H.

California is governed by a bunch of lawbreakers. The State Constitution requires the Legislature to pass a budget bill by midnight on June 15. Yet, there they are, more than two months past deadline and nowhere near sending a budget to the governor's desk.
Leaders of the Legislature's Democratic majority unveiled a budget proposal a fortnight ago. However, that budget has yet to even be debated, much less voted upon, on the floor of either the state Assembly or Senate.
Everyone agrees that the state's budget-making process is broken – July 1 marked the 19th time in the past 25 years that California has entered a new fiscal year without a budget – but no one has figured out how to fix it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Some insist the problem is that not only tax increases, but also the state budget must be approved by two-thirds of lawmakers in both chambers of the Legislature – a threshold required only by California. They suggest the solution is to rewrite state law to require a simple majority to pass both tax hikes and the budget.
But the California electorate will not hear of it. That's why the super-majority requirement remains in place.
Well here's a budget-reform proposal that California voters almost certainly can support: A ballot measure calling for lawmakers to pass a budget by the constitutional deadline or lose pay for every day the state budget is overdue.
If such a law were currently in place, California Senate President Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, would have forfeited more than $18,000 apiece by now. Rank-and-file members of the Legislature would have lost nearly $16,000.
That may seem Draconian, but it is no more so than the furloughs Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has imposed upon nearly 150,000 state workers, who now have three fewer days of salary each month to pay their mortgages, car notes and other expenses.
There are some rich lawmakers in Sacramento who really don't need their state salary to make ends meet, who would be no more or less motivated to get a budget passed by the constitutional deadline.
But most members of the state Legislature are not wealthy. And the prospect of losing a month or two (or more) or their state salary almost certainly would encourage them to pass a budget sooner rather than later.

|This study sought to identify factors that influence teacher decisions about pedagogy based on curriculum content and skills and the degree to which teachers transfer pedagogical content knowledge to practice, specifically through the use of various models of teaching. A purposeful sample included 14 elementary teachers from highly diverse, urban school districts within Southern California. Each teacher's class was a heterogeneous mix of students including a cluster of gifted students. All of the teachers were participants in a grant awarded to the University of Southern California under the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act of the U.S. Department of Education (PR #S206A040072). The teachers had received training in the models of teaching either as part of their pre-service teacher preparation program or through in-service professional development as participants in the aforementioned grant. ❧ Data regarding teachers' application of the models of teaching were collected through a survey on which teachers selected a lesson and corresponding model of teaching to address each of six given content standards and objectives across subject areas including language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The survey also collected data regarding teachers' rationale for their choices in lessons and models of teaching. Data regarding teachers' enactment of the models of teaching were collected through classroom observation ratings. The data were examined using quantitative methods including descriptive statistics, crosstabulation, and Fisher's Exact Test. ❧ This research resulted in promising findings related to teacher education as it relates to pedagogical content knowledge. After pre-service or in-service teacher education related to the models of teaching, most of the teachers were able to identify appropriate applications for various models of teaching across the content areas. The findings of this study did not favor either the pre-service teacher education training or the in-service professional development. Teachers in each group were equally likely to make appropriate pedagogical decisions to address given curricular objectives using the models of teaching. The research findings of this study and the review of literature conducted as part of this study, also suggested teachers rely heavily on their philosophy of teaching and learning when making pedagogic decisions. ❧ Teacher education, through pre-service teacher preparation programs or in-service professional development, can be effective in enhancing teachers' professional knowledge and skills (Darling-Hammond, 2006; Evertson, Hawley, & Zlotnik, 1985; Guskey, 2000; Joyce & Showers, 2002). Teacher education has been found to specifically influence teachers' abilities to use a broad repertoire of instructional approaches skillfully (Perkes, 1967-68; Skipper & Quantz, 1987). Based on the findings of this study and the research literature, it was concluded that pre-service and in-service teacher education that seeks to train teachers to skillfully and purposefully use a repertoire of models of teaching would be worthwhile for increasing the effectiveness of teachers. It is suggested that such training should occur across the continuum of teacher development proposed by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (2008) and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (1987). A more coherent and consistent system of teacher development would likely yield sustainable and effective teaching practices related to the skillful and purposeful use of a repertoire of models of teaching to positively impact student achievement.

Ear Injuries
Falls, blows to the head, sports injuries, and even listening to loud music can cause ear damage, which can affect hearing and balance. That's because the ear not only helps us hear, but also keeps us steady on our feet.
Kids need to hear well to develop and use their speech, social, and listening skills. Even mild or partial hearing loss can affect their ability to speak and understand language, while problems with balance can influence how they're able to move and how well they feel.
How the Ear Works
To understand ear injuries, it's helpful to review the ins and outs of the ears. Basically, the ear is made up of three parts — the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear.
Hearing begins when sound waves that travel through the air reach the outer ear, or pinna (the visible part of the ear). The outer ear captures the sound vibration and sends it through the ear canal to the middle ear, which contains the eardrum (a thin layer of tissue) and three tiny bones (called ossicles). The sound causes the eardrum to vibrate. The ossicles amplify these vibrations and carry them to the inner ear.
The inner ear is made up of a snail-shaped chamber (the cochlea), which is filled with fluid and lined with four rows of tiny hair cells. When the vibrations move through this fluid, the outer hair cells contract back and forth and amplify the sound.
When the vibrations are big enough, the inner hair cells translate them into electrical nerve impulses in the vestibulocochlear nerve (also called the auditory nerve, acoustic nerve, or eighth cranial nerve), which sends signals to the brain to be interpreted as sound. The vestibulocochlear nerve also helps with balance.
Types of Ear Injuries
Hearing loss and balance problems can happen when there's damage to key parts of the ear, like the eardrum, ear canal, ossicles, cochlea, or the vestibular nerve.
Here's a look at the most common causes of ear injuries and how they can affect kids:
Cuts, scrapes, burns, or frostbite. When there's an injury (even minor) to the outer ear or ear canal, bleeding and infection can affect other parts of the ear.
Inserting something into the ear. Things like a cotton swab, fingernail, or pencil can scratch the ear canal or cause a tear or hole in the eardrum (called a ruptured eardrum).
Direct blows to the ear or head. Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or fights may tear the eardrum, dislocate the ossicles, or damage the inner ear. Wrestlers, boxers, and other athletes who endure repeated forceful hits to the outer ear can develop severe bruising or blood clots that block blood flow to the cartilage of the outer ear and damage its shape and structure (known as cauliflower ear).
Loud noise. Kids can have significant or permanent hearing loss when they're exposed to really loud noises daily or over a long period of time. This is called acoustic trauma or noise-induced hearing loss.
When this happens, the tiny hairs in the cochlea become damaged. Loud sounds (like a gunshot, firecracker, or explosion) can cause it, as can noises that are repeated over time (like lawn mowers, power tools, farm equipment, noise from sporting events, band or shop classes, motorbikes, even movie theaters). But for kids and teens, listening to loud music (at concerts, in the car, through headphones) is one of the chief causes of this type of preventable hearing loss.
Sudden, significant change in air pressure. When we fly or scuba dive, air pressure decreases as we go higher and increases as we go lower. If the pressure isn't equalized, the higher air pressure pushes on one side of the eardrum and causes pain and sometimes partial hearing loss, called barotrauma.
Normally, the eustachian tube (a passageway that leads from the middle ear to the back of the throat behind the nose) equalizes the air pressure in the middle ear to the outside air pressure by opening and letting air reach the middle ear. When your ears "pop" while yawning or swallowing, your eustachian tubes are adjusting the air pressure in your middle ears.
But in kids, the relatively narrow eustachian tubes may not work as well, especially if they're clogged by inflammation and mucus from an ear infection or cold, or blocked by enlarged or swollen adenoids. Any pain or hearing problems are usually minor and temporary, though — they usually go away within minutes and don't cause any lasting damage. In some cases, a child can have pain for several hours if the ears don't "pop." Occasionally, extreme pressure changes can fill the middle ear with fluid or blood or cause the eardrum to burst.
Signs of Hearing Loss or Balance Problems
Ear injuries can affect kids differently. Some may have partial hearing loss, with symptoms like:
- trouble hearing when there's background noise
- difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds or music notes
- hearing only certain or muffled sounds
- ringing in the ears or other strange sounds like hissing, buzzing, humming, or roaring
- turning up the TV
- difficulty paying attention or keeping up in school
- complaining that the ears feel "full"
- trouble talking (with poor, limited, or no speech)
- talking loudly
- failing to turn toward loud noises or respond to conversation-level speech
- answering inappropriately
In other cases, kids may have complete hearing loss or deafness (when they can't hear anything at all).
Depending on whether they hurt one or both ears, kids with ear injuries that affect balance may have symptoms like:
- falling or stumbling a lot (clumsiness)
- vertigo (a sudden feeling of spinning or whirling that feels like moving while sitting or standing)
- feeling unsteady, "woozy," or disoriented
- dizziness or lightheadedness
- vision problems (like bouncing eyesight or blurriness, called oscillopsia)
- trouble going up stairs or standing up without falling
- problems walking (inability to walk without staggering, walking with legs too far apart, or trouble walking in the dark or over uneven areas)
- nausea or vomiting
- headaches
- major fatigue
Preventing Ear Injuries
You can't protect children from getting hurt all the time — accidents and injuries are par for the course with raising kids. But you can keep prevent some ear injuries by encouraging kids to:
- Never stick anything in their ears — not even cotton swabs or their fingers. Regular bathing should be enough to keep earwax at normal levels. If your child complains of ear discomfort and you see earwax in the ear, it's OK to wipe the outside of the ear with a washcloth. If earwax interferes with hearing or causes pain or discomfort, talk to your doctor about having the earwax removed in the office.
- Steer clear of uncomfortable, potentially damaging noise. If you or your kids have to shout to be heard from 3 feet away, that's far too loud.
- Turn down the volume when listening to music, especially while wearing headphones or riding in the car. Also look for portable media or music players with "volume limiters" (they may come with the device or it can be bought separately).
- Wear ear protection at concerts, especially when sitting near the stage or speakers (they'll still be able to hear with earplugs — it just won't be as deafening), mowing the lawn or using machinery (like in metal or wood shop at school), or playing a loud instrument (like the drums).
- Always put on a snug-fitting helmet whenever they ride bikes or scooters, skateboard, or inline skate.
- Don the right kind of protective equipment every time they practice or play sports — helmets for baseball, softball, hockey, and football; headgear or ear guards for wrestling, rugby, and boxing.
Seeking Treatment
How long hearing or balance problems last and how they're treated will depend on what part of the ear was hurt, what caused the injury, and how severe it is. While minor injuries usually cause temporary problems, serious injuries may cause permanent hearing loss or balance problems.
Vestibular therapy may help kids with balance problems. And some with significant hearing loss may need a hearing aid, an FM system or auditory trainer (specialized devices that block out background noise), or a cochlear implant (a surgically implanted device that helps overcome problems in the inner ear, or cochlea). They also might need listening therapy with an audiologist (hearing specialist).
Make sure to call your doctor if your child has:
- had any type of ear or head injury, even if it seems minor
- any signs of problems with balance or hearing
- severe ear pain
- blood or fluid draining from the ear (that doesn't look like earwax)
If there's a concern, your doctor can refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist and possibly an audiologist to figure out the next step to take./p>

The NCC is urging ginners to help in an industry-wide contamination prevention effort at their gins and by urging their farmers to increase their inspection for potential seed cotton contaminants.
In an e-mail bulletin to more than 600 gins and ginner interest organizations, NCC President/CEO Mark Lange stated, "Even though U.S. cotton still is considered one of the least contaminated growths, the U.S. cotton industry must be diligent if it wants to maintain that status. I ask you to carefully review the procedures you have in place to detect and prevent contamination from entering baled cotton lint from all sources, particularly plastic contaminants.
"Of greatest concern, based on recent reports from multiple domestic spinners, are pieces of black plastic polyethylene film, red polypropylene twine, and yellow plastic film used to wrap round modules. While plastic contamination from any source and in any color should be of concern, these three types of contamination seem to be most prevalent in the 2011 crop."
The bulletin urges ginners to ask their farmers to: 1) inspect fields prior to harvest for foreign materials that could easily be picked up by harvesting equipment, 2) remove foreign materials such as twine, ditch liners, field mulch, shopping bags and related plastics from their fields before harvest, and 3) inspect harvest equipment daily for plastic contaminants.
"It is very important that you also alert your gin employees to be watchful for all foreign materials in and around the gin," Lange said.
"If seen, have the materials collected and removed to prevent them from entering the ginning stream. Please train your employees working at the module feeder and suck pipe to make sure module covers and wraps are safely and completely removed prior to ginning. This includes the complete removal of materials used to secure covers to conventional modules."
The bulletin noted that when handling round modules, it is particularly important that John Deere's wrap removal recommendations be followed so that the wrap remains in one piece upon removal.
If cut in the wrong location, a piece of the inner, non-adhesive wrap end may be separated from the rest of the wrap and remain within the seed cotton.
Deere has produced several publications on the proper care of round modules, including: handling in the field, transporting to the gin and delivering them to the gin feeder. These written publications, along with a poster that includes a diagram showing the proper location for cutting module wrap, can be found on the NCC's website at www.cotton.org/tech/quality/round-module-handling.cfm.
More contamination prevention information is on the NCC Quality Preservation web page at www.cotton.org/tech/quality/index.cfm.
In response to the bulletin, National Cotton Ginners' Association President Lee Tiller said, "the U.S. cotton industry has made great strides in eliminating contamination and the U.S. has a reputation of having contamination free cotton. It is imperative that we continue educational efforts that ensure we maintain this distinction."

I am still sharing my May 21, 2012 experiences exploring the area above Allumette Island called Chichester and Sheen Townships. There have been challenges to keeping up on this trip but don't worry you will hear about my adventures, all three weeks, HA!
They call them municipalities. Everything is changing in Ontario and Quebec with the government districts and maybe all over Canada, so you will have to be diligent in your research of the locations if your family comes from here. They are consolidating and discarding the old names. This means that if you look at a map of today or the future the area you are looking for may have disappeared. These two archives can help with the new designations for the government districts.

After visiting the Holy Spirit Missionary RC Cemetery in Nicabeau (Nicabong), I headed west on Ch. de L'Eglise. According to my map it turned into Ch. Sullivan and Meehan. It was a long gravel road with no sign of habitation and a thick grouping of trees lining the side of the road. It seemed longer but it was probably a little over 5 minutes and I came back to the Chapeau-Sheenboro Hwy. I made the mistake of turning left. After a few minutes it became obvious that I was going east so I had to do a turnaround at a connecting road. There was a white picture fence along this road, which was curious?
I headed northwest up the Chapeau-Sheenboro Hwy and passed the Sheen welcoming sign. It was not long after that I came to Sheenboro itself.
The highway called the Chapeau-Sheenboro Hwy and becomes Ch. Sheenboro after the sign to the municipality. You pass several houses and buildings and the big white parish meeting-house and right behind all these buildings to the left is the cemetery.
It is very easy to find. In the above picture you see where you enter between the church on the left and the parish meeting hall on the right, then you follow the road down till you turn and yo see the car sitting there. It is very easy to access this cemetery and the road through it means not careful maneuvering.
The cemetery is in a big meadow which has room for future burials. When I visited again later in the week someone was firing what might have been a canon? It went off about three times with a loud "Ka BOOM! I could not see anything because there is a thick grouping of trees and what looks like a stream that goes along the back of the cemetery. I could hear the cattle making their complaints.
My goal was to find the particular gravestone of John McDonell (McDonnald)and Julia. I found the tombstone after a little dithering and it was in great shape. It was in the northeast corner of the cemetery closer to the parish meeting hall.
I believe this John McDonell to be the older brother of my great-grandfather Archibald McDonell. He died in 1873. He was coming home from a little enjoyment of alcohol and must have fallen and cut himself. They ruled it an accident. This came from his obituary which was found by my cousin at a church archive in Pembroke. Nothing more was said about his life other than his immediate family. I had hoped it would reveal where he came from but it concentrated on the accident instead. See my posted dated March 31, 2012, A Discovery: Archie's brother John McDonell, living next door in Sheen?
Julia's last name is a problem. I was talking with a genealogist in the Cornwall area and she is bilingual and said that LeCour could be mispronounced as "Record or Ricard" if said in French? So she played with it switching from English to French? My cousin and I have the following names for Julia: Tebeau, Lacour, Record and Ricard. This same genealogist was looked through a big book of marriages edition for male and female and we were not finding LaCour but we were finding LeCour. AUGH!
UPDATE July 7, 2012: Here is a complete set of the photographs I took at St. Paul the Hermit Church and cemetery. These are just overview photographs with some specific tombstones. Go ehre for more individual tombstone photographs of the area: http://www.gravemarkers.ca/quebec/pontiac/index.htm
|St. Paul the Hermit RC Church & Cemetery
My next target was to see Fort William which is a historical site. It was once a fur trading post. This article from Wikipedia is not too bad and describes the area:
So I turned the car down Ch. Perrault another gravel road closed in on both sides by trees and not a living soul around. At least it seemed that way. The drive took about 5 minutes till I came to an intersection in a wooded area. My first reaction was "oh dear," what do I do now? I then spotted signs by and on the tree across the intersection. Nothing fancy, but good enough to tell you to go in that direction.
Fort William is across the Ottawa river from Petawawa or actually the Canadian Forces base above Petawawa. This is a very wide part of the river.
I proceeded down the road and spotted the gate with stone pillars. It was closed up. So people were parking their cars in the shade of some big trees and bushes and carrying their items to the beach area. There was a sign on the gate stating that the Pontiac Hotel will open in June. You do have to walk a little ways to the beach area but if you are into beach bumming it is a good thing. I am afraid my fair skin will not allow too much sun without burning.
People were enjoying the lovely hot sunny day and several boats were moored along the beach.
There is a little church called St. Theresa of the Flower but I did not go there because at the time I had forgotten about it or did not realize its significance. It is old and once was run by the Olate Missionaries. Lachlan Cranswick has pictures of it on his website which I have mentioned before. http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/chalk_river/2006/jun2006/11june2006a/index.html
The Municipality of Sheen website has pictures of this church and more: http://www.sheenboro.ca/community/churches.html
There is a two set publication at the Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogical Society Group library in Pembroke under the area of their publications. It is available for review: http://uovgg.ca/index.html
"Crosses & Shamrocks, Souvenir of St. Paul The Hermit Parish 1872 – 1997 Sheenboro, Quebec and St. Theresa of the Little Flower 1857-1997, Fort William, Quebec. The second volume is an Appendix – Family Trees. In the first booklet they give the history of these two churches. The second volume has family pedigree charts with no sources and no index but they are families of the Sheen Township.
After I spent some time enjoying the people enjoying the beach at Fort William I made my way back along the road to the same intersection and decided to turn right. Well this was Ch. Fort William and it came out at the place were I did my earlier U-turn to get to Sheenboro. The one with the picket fence! So if you are on the Chapeau-Sheenboro Highway and come to the Ch. Fort William take a left and you will be at Fort William a lot easier than me. Then at the intersection in the woods go left again.
Back on the highway of Chapeau-Sheenboro I headed east trying to find any openings in the trees and public areas where I could view the Culbute Channel but it was pretty densely covered from Chichester to Waltham where I turned and south – southwest and followed Hwy 148 over the bridge and back onto Allumette Island.
As you cross from Waltham to Allumette Island is the area that I believe was once called Church Point. It is where the first church was located. It is privately owned so you can't really do any exploring without asking permission. I saw from the highway just a thick bunch of trees. My friend Elaine Brown said she was all over the area thoroughly when she was putting her book on the St. Alphonsus church records together and didn't find anything, it was lost to time. Apparently when they built the bridge they destroyed the old burial ground in the process. There had been a fire that swept the island and so they moved the church to a mid-point on the island, location unknown to me. It was about the middle 1880's that the St. Alphonsus Church in Chapeau was established.
Driving down Hwy 148 on Allumette Island is easy and the road is smooth. You see a little more of the island's beauty. I did not get to Lac McDonald but I am told there were two, one in Chichester and one further up in Sheen. Anyone want to go and take a picture and contact me?

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong disease that happens when the pancreas stops making insulin. It usually develops in children and young adults.
Insulin lets sugar (glucose) move from the blood into the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored. Without insulin, sugar can't get into the cells, and your blood sugar gets too high. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to problems with your eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes focuses on keeping your blood sugar level in a safe range by eating a balanced diet, taking insulin injections, and getting regular exercise.

Philly's legendary R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass died Wednesday after being hospitalized for months. He'd undergone surgery for colon cancer eight months ago and had a "difficult recovery," according to his son, Teddy Pendergrass II.
He was only 59.
"To all his fans who loved his music, thank you," his son said. "He will live on through his music.''
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Pendergrass was international superstar and sex symbol -- one of the most electric and successful figures in music before a car crash completely altered his destiny in 1982.
He'd established a new era of R&B with an explosive, raw voice that symbolized masculinity, passion and the joys and sorrow of romance in songs such as "Close the Door,'' "It Don't Hurt Now," "Love T.K.O.," "If You Don't Know Me By Now," and other hits that have since become classics.
"He had a tremendous career ahead of him, and the accident sort of got in the way of many of those plans,'' said longtime friend and collaborator Kenny Gamble.
When Pendergrass crashed his Rolls Royce into a tree, the accident left him paralyzed from the waist down and he spent his last 28 years in a wheelchair.
He was still able to sing, but without his signature power. The image of the strong, virile lover was replaced with one that drew sympathy. But instead of becoming bitter or depressed, Pendergrass created a new identity as a role model, Gamble said.
"He never showed me that he was angry at all about his accident," Gamble said. "In fact, he was very courageous.''
Pendergrass left a remarkable imprint on the music world as he ushered in a new era in R&B with his fiery, sensual and forceful brand of soul and his ladies' man image, burnished by his strikingly handsome looks.
"The females," Gamble said, "loved Teddy Pendergrass. The females were very attracted to him and his music.''
Unlike the songs of many of today's male R&B crooners, Pendergrass' music bordered on eroticism without explicit lyrics or
coarse language, just through the raw emotion in his voice. "Turn Off the Lights'' was a tune that perhaps best represented the many
moods of Pendergrass -- tender and coaxing yet strong as the song reaches its climax.
After the accident, it was 19 years before Pendergrass resumed performing at his own concerts. He made his return on Memorial Day weekend in 2001, with two sold-out shows in Atlantic City, N.J.
Gamble noted Pendergrass' charitable work for people with spinal cord injuries, his performances despite pain and his focus on the positive in the face of great challenges.
"He used to say something in his act in the wheelchair, 'Don't let the wheelchair fool you,' because he still proclaimed he was a lover,'' Gamble said.
Pendergrass dedicated much of his life to helping others with spinal cord injuries and founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance to do just that. Gamble said he wanted to help others.
"In his quiet moments, he probably did a lot of reflection. But I never saw him pity himself. He stayed busy," Gamble said. "(But) I feel that he's in a better place now. ... He doesn't have to go through that pain or whatever he was going through anymore."

With U.S. warships looming offshore, reports of chemical weapons and saber-rattling from Iran about the coming of Armageddon, the nation of Syria and its capital, Damascus, are at the epicenter of what some suggest may become a prophesied battle of biblical proportions.
"Many students of the Word of God see a major alignment of ancient prophecies regarding the end times being fulfilled right before our eyes," asserts Carl Gallups, pastor, radio host and author of "The Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith." "More importantly, we are the first generation in history to see such dramatic and striking alignments."
Gallups points to the biblical passage of Psalm 83 – which tells of the nations surrounding Israel conspiring against it – and especially to Isaiah 17, which tells of a day when Damascus, often cited as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, will be utterly destroyed.
"Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap," states the ancient prophet Isaiah. "The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts."
"I also want to note," adds author of "The 9/11 Prophecy," James F. Fitzgerald, "that the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17 is directly connected in its context to the fall of Ephraim and the Northern Kingdom of Israel as Isaiah previously warned in chapter 9:10. That is the same prophecy messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn has written about in 'The Harbinger' and in 'The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment' documentary, where he's applied the specific pattern of judgment there to the remarkable events that have transpired here in America after 9/11."
Get "The Harbinger" and "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" DVD now together at one incredible, low price!
Certainly, Damascus has become the center of international attention and fears of war.
As WND has reported, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has publicly made the case for an American strike on Syria over the nation's alleged use of chemical weapons on rebel forces among its own people, even as U.S. warships loom offshore.
Meanwhile, Syria ally Iran has threatened to launch "thousands of missiles" on Israel if President Obama follows through on the proposed attack, and Iran's politicians have claimed the conflict could prompt "the end of times and the coming of the last Islamic messiah," including an Armageddon-like battle for worldwide Islamic governance.
The result is an international powder keg that could easily explode beyond Syria's borders, and President Obama is holding the match.
"The ancient Hebrew prophecy contained in Isaiah 17 is presently poised to find final fulfillment, and it could easily be provoked by a poorly calculated political move by America," claims Bill Salus, author of "Psalm 83: The Missing Prophecy Revealed." "Current contemplations of the Obama administration to strategically strike Syria to punish the Assad regime for using chemical weapons on his Syrian countrymen could be the spark that sets the entire Mideast ablaze. President Assad has threatened to attack Tel Aviv on several occasions during the Syrian revolution, and his latest threats have prompted Israelis to scramble for gas masks.
"In tandem a prophecy in Psalm 83 predicts that a climactic concluding Arab-Israeli war is coming, and Syria and Israel are listed among the participants," Salus told WND. "It is reasonable to presume that we are living in the days of Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83, and that a single U.S. missile landing anywhere in Syria could provoke the 'Mother of All Mideast Wars' that is predicted in the Scriptures!"
Watch the prophecies explained and unfold in "Psalm 83: The Missing Prophecy Revealed" on DVD from the WND Superstore!
Fitzgerald explains there may indeed be something greater than politics pushing Obama's current actions.
"We have no vital national interest to be served in Syria by involving ourselves in their civil war," Fitzgerald told WND, "except to see that Syria doesn't fall into the hands of al-Qaida and the radical Islamists. Yet it seems the Obama administration is now planning to take sides in this internal struggle with the rebels that include terrorists like al-Qaida, and they're doing so even with the help of Republicans like John McCain and Lindsay Graham.
"But if we're being pulled into this war, against our own vital national interests, it's because we have a 'hook in our mouth' that is drawing us to further national judgment," he continued. "As I spell out in my book with lots of evidence, post-9/11 America is a nation under judgment. In that regard, I show exactly how the next major end-time prophecy to do with our nation is the imminent coming of World War III. That war will reduce us once and for all from our superpower status – as we know must happen from the book of Revelation. That's why there is no doubt in my mind that getting involved in Syria's civil war – even in the face of Russia's strong warnings – is going to contribute to the future coming of a world war with Russia and Iran."
Evidence revealed
But could these events really be the foretold culmination of biblical prophecy?
It appears the jury is still out on definitively saying yes.
"With all of the chaos in Syria continually growing more and more unstable, it is certainly understandable that many students of Scripture are looking to Isaiah 17 and asking if its fulfillment could be imminent," states Joel Richardson, author of "Mideast Beast" and "The Islamic Antichrist", in a WND commentary.
But Richardson warns some are trying too hard to make the events line up, like predicting Israel will use a nuclear bomb to fulfill Isaiah 17′s destruction of Damascus.
"For those sensationalists who are predisposed to believe that Israel is about to hit Damascus with a nuclear bomb," Richardson writes, "the question must be asked: How wise would it be to drop a nuclear bomb on a city that lies less than 50 miles from your own border?"
Richardson asserts the context of Scripture points instead to the destruction of Damascus only in the end times.
"If one examines this larger portion of Isaiah's prophecy in its proper context, rather pulling out a single verse here or there, then it is clear that its ultimate context is the Day of the LORD, the judgment against the nations and the return of Jesus," Richardson asserts. "On this point, I find myself in full agreement with Dr. Tommy Ice: 'It appears to be an event that will occur at the end of the seven-year tribulation as the Lord not only judges and destroy Damascus, but all of Israel's historic enemies that surround her. If one examines the broader context of Isaiah 17 and takes account of the section where it is located, it becomes clear that it is a section in which the Lord prophesizes (sic) judgment upon all the Gentile nations that have opposed Israel. This will all happen at the end of the tribulation in conjunction with the second coming of Christ to the earth.'"
Yet even Richardson admits the belief that the events of Isaiah 17, Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 and 39 could be happening right here, right now, is becoming an "emerging popular view."
Gallups explains, "Respected teachers of end-time prophecies have devised several scenarios of interpretation regarding these prophetic alignments. Some prophecy experts are quite adamant that they have discovered the correct and exact layout and timeline. I will not be so bold as to declare an exact timeline, but understanding that prophetic Scripture almost always has an historical context and fulfillment in the day in which it was written as well as a message for the future, let me make a few biblically sound observations.
"Isaiah 17 is one important part of the larger prophecy that Isaiah sets forth in Chapters 13-23, which tell of judgments not only against Israel, but against all of the surrounding Gentile (mostly Muslim) nations," he continues. "Isaiah 17 tells us Damascus will be leveled and in ruin, Aram will fade away as well (the southern region of Syria), Aroer (the northern region of Jordan) will be greatly affected, entire regions of northern Israel will become virtually desolate, the entire nation of Israel will be greatly and adversely affected for a long period of time. Given the massive and devastating armament capabilities of Israel and the chemical weapons cache of Syria, one can easily see how today's escalating conflict can fulfill these prophecies.
"In Psalm 83, the Arab (Muslim) nations surrounding Israel will attack her in her perceived weakness, yet Israel will prevail," Gallups continues, "and in Ezekiel 38-39, another alliance of more outlying nations (mostly Muslim) attacks Israel, again perceiving vulnerability on Israel's part. God intervenes supernaturally, and Israel is spared."
Walid Shoebat, who co-authored "God's War on Terror: Islam, Prophecy and the Bible" with Richardson, has also found what he believes may already be fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
"We can sense the beginning signs for the fulfillment of Isaiah 17′s destruction of Damascus when we witness the influx of refugees from Syria to Jordan as predicted by the prophet Amos: 'I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD' (Amos 1:5)," Shoebat told WND. "It is here that we find the amazing precision of Bible prophecy: Aven is Damascus today, and Damascus is also literally mentioned here by name. Syrians are leaving by the droves into Jordan and precisely 'unto Kir,' which is Kir-Moab (Isaiah 15:1). Today that region is called Kerak. When we review both the ancient map and the statistics of the recent influx of Syrian refugees into Jordan, we find that over a half million Syrians already fled to 'the borders of the land of Moab now called Kerrek [Kerak]."
Whether these things are all happening now or are set to happen in the future, however, there's one point at which the prophecy students agree: "The apparent context of all these passages," states Gallups, "is that their fulfillment is found in the very last days – shortly before the biblical Day of the LORD, and the return of Jesus."
Gallups concludes, "Given the headlines of today's news and the current Middle East upheaval, as well as Syria being at the epicenter of a major war in the region, I fail to see how any serious student of the Word could not see that these, indeed, are very prophetic times in which we are living."

Responding to the deadly April explosion that devastated the town of West, President Barack Obama signed an executive order Thursday calling on federal agencies to improve the safety and security of hazardous chemical manufacturing sites.
More three months after the devastating Central Texas blast, Obama ordered federal agencies that oversee chemical facilities to improve safety standards at U.S. plants. The president created a White House working group comprised of officials representing the nine agencies listed in the order.
The April blast at West Fertilizer Company occurred as emergency responders were attempting to put out a fire at the plant. The explosion caused 300 injuries, 15 deaths, including 12 volunteer firefighters, and destroyed dozens of buildings in the surrounding area. State officials have not pinpointed a cause for the blast and the incident remains under investigation.
But Obama, in issuing the order Thursday, said action can't wait for the probe to conclude.
"Chemicals and the facilities that manufacture, store, distribute and use them are essential to our economy," Obama declared in the executive order. "However, incidents such as the devastating explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, in April are tragic reminders that the handling and storage of chemicals present serious risks that must be addressed."
The president directed the agencies to assist in bridging the gap between state and local partners, work with stakeholders to determine appropriate courses of action, bring security standards up to date and improve information-sharing within the federal government.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress have been harshly critical of the federal government's lack of coordination in the aftermath of the chemical plant inferno. One leading critic, Republican Rep. Bill Flores of Bryan, responded to Obama's action by saying the president is now "directionally pointed the right way."
"I think we need to have that way for those agencies to work together, and I think that the executive order pushes the federal and state agencies in that direction," said Flores, whose district includes West.
Obama's order won the approval of West Mayor Tommy Muska, who has unsuccessfully sought a "major disaster" declaration from the president to facilitate federal aid to the hard-hit town.
"I think it is a positive move," Muska said. "As much as I don't like government intrusion on an industry, a lot of these plants are older and they need to have some tougher standards someone holds them to."
The agencies listed in the order include the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, better known as ATF, which will be responsible for improving upon the security standards for hazardous chemical facilities currently in place.
U.S. Chemical Safety Board Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso said the West incident "revealed serious gaps in the prevention of accidents and in response preparations for major chemical releases by companies and government authorities, leaving Americans vulnerable." He said the executive order could lead to improved site access for investigators, preservation of evidence and increased sharing of information and test results "so that all stakeholders and the public can learn what happened and work to prevent major incident in the future."
For many West citizens, Thursday's action is an important step they have been waiting for over the last few months.
"It's a tough situation, but maybe there should be some sort of federal aid," said Tony LeNoir, a West roofer, who is repairing several of the damaged houses. "Maybe we don't spend as much on other countries and spend a little bit here on people who need it."
Not everyone was pleased by Obama's action, though. A spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz said the Houston Republican was worried about the consequences of executive action.
"More government regulation is not an effective response to this issue, nor will it help this town rebuild," said Catherine Frazier, Cruz's press secretary.

Bond denied for woman once missing, now accused in embezzlement
Linda Reed arrested in Texas, returned to Copiah County
Bond has been denied for Linda Reed, a woman reported missing in April, who is now charged in connection with an embezzlement case.
Copiah County Sheriff Harold Jones said Reed was arrested about 7:30 a.m. Thursday in Longview, Texas, where she had been working as a bookkeeper. She appeared in court Friday in Copiah County.
Jones said Reed, 66, is suspected of embezzling more than $20,000 from Moore's Fabrications' petty cash in 2010. Jones said Reed, who had worked for the company since 1999, had access to the money and is a suspect in the case.
Reed was reported missing April 30 after her GMC Envoy was found in a wooded area on Interstate 55 near the south Crystal Springs exit. Surveillance video showed Reed at a Walmart in Hazlehurst the previous day, authorities said.
Reed's family has denied the allegations and have said that they believe Reed was abducted.
Now, Reed's children said they are relieved and happy their mother is alive. They are trying to figure out what made her disappear for nearly six months.
"There's a reason behind it," said Chris Sessums, Reed's son. "I don't know what it is right yet, but we'll find out."
Reed was able to speak with her children through a glass window at the Copiah County Sheriff's Office.
Reed's daughter, Cindy Gray, said she was glad her mother was home and that she loved her.
Bradley Morris, Reed's grandson, sat outside in his truck for more than two hours. He said he couldn't bring himself to go in and see his grandmother behind bars.
"It's just kind of mixed emotions I guess, you know. I mean, I spent a month looking for buzzards," he said.
Morris said he buried his grandmother in his mind months ago.

Ultrafiltration SFP-2880 module certified for water recycling and reuse applications by California Department of Public Health
Dow Water & Process Solutions, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, announced the acceptance of the Dow Ultrafiltration SFP-2880 module for water recycling applications. The approval certifies Dow Ultrafiltration as an acceptable filtration technology in compliance with the California Water Recycling Criteria (California Code of Regulations, Title 22).
California Water Recycling Criteria recognizes membrane filtration as an acceptable filtration technology provided prescribed performance requirements are reliably met. Performance criteria through testing must demonstrate the filtered wastewater not exceed 0.2 Nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) more than 5% of the time within a 24-hour period and 0.5 NTU at any time.
"Receiving this certification from the state of California for our highest productivity pressurized ultrafiltration element reaffirms Dow's commitment to sustainability," said Fabrien Creus, strategic marketing manager for Dow Water & Process Solutions. "Water scarcity and quality are two significant issues facing our world today, and we're pleased that our high-quality ultrafiltration technology is setting the standard around recycled water."
The DOW Ultrafiltration SFP-2880 offers 50% more membrane active area while decreasing the required system footprint by 30%, the company said. The SFP-2880 adds 20 in. of length when compared to the Dow Ultrafiltration SFP-2860, but allows flexibility in system design by reducing the number of modules, required piping, skid infrastructure and the size of the compressed air and clean in place systems. In addition, the larger modules produce a smaller waste stream for disposal.
