If you listen to 1560 The Game, you know about SEC Guy. His name is Karol Kenton Kogslotter, and he frequently contributes to our programming on 1560. He is a 60-something family practitioner who lives in Alabama and eats, breathes, sweats and lives all things SEC football, particularly the Alabama Crimson Tide. In SEC Guy's eyes, the sun rises and sets at John Parker Wilson's locker, the WAC and Mountain West don't exist, and Kenny Stabler has been framed by an Auburn police officer on all twelve of his DUI's. So it's only natural that as I drove around the Alabama campus that I would think about SEC Guy and how enthralled he would be by my surroundings. And it's why I entitled this post "Porn for the SEC GUY". I have to believe that he pops in VHS tapes (maybe beta tapes... ok, maybe reel to reel films) of old Joe Willie Namath highlights and gets that "special feeling", kind of like those skeevy pervs when they pull into the parking lot at those 24 hour adult bookstores.
Ironically, one of the first places I passed as I made my way onto campus was a Jimmy John's sandwich shop. Why is this ironic? Well, if you've been following the news out of Tuscaloosa, you know that Jimmy Johns is also the name of an Alabama linebacker who was recently arrested on charges that he was selling cocaine to undercover police officers. To see the actual sandwich shop about a block from the stadium, with an Alabama banner in front of it to boot, was just too perfect. So I had to capture the moment for posterity's sake.
In fact, SEC Guy's most recent effort on the "Sean and John Show" (or as SEC Guy calls it, the Shane and Jacob Show) was his plea for an investigation into the possible framing of Jimmy Johns the linebacker. You can catch this piece of radio brilliance by clicking on the icon below. Trust me, it's worth it.
With the disrespectful-to-the-legacy-of-The-Bear chicanery out of the way, I made my way over to Bryant-Denny Stadium. Now, Lord knows that the gods of college football have given us enough reasons to be the scandals, and the patronizing references to a barely existent "student-athlete" (well, barely existent in many places at least),cynical about the game what with the BCS, but I have to admit it still gives me a tingly sensation in my nether regions when I walk up on a hallowed college football cathedral like Bryant-Denny Stadium. To know that the greats like Jay Barker and Brodie Croyle have slung the rock around that yard, I mean you can almost smell the greatness ... oh wait, that's the bread at Jimmy Johns (mmmm....freeeee smeeelllls .... AGGGGHHHHH ....channeling my inner Homer Simpson). Anyway, it was very cool seeing the stadium, even if it was just the outside.
My next stop was to head to the bookstore and add the University of Alabama to my cadre of tee shirts on this trip. There was only one problem, and it was the same issue that I encountered in Hattiesburg -- apparently, the south has a ban on opening stores with books during the month of July. WTF?!? Did someone pass a law making July Illiteracy Month in the Deep South? C'mon Alabama! I mean, I expect that kind of behavior from Mississippi, but you guys are at least ranked in like the mid-40's in public education (as opposed to, well, 50th like Mississippi). You're better than that. Open a freaking bookstore. Hell, it wasn't just the bookstore. ALL of the Bama gear shops were closed! I'll chalk it up to being a Sunday and assume that there are blue laws in Alabama that I'm not aware of.
So desparately needing a tee shirt, I went to the one place that I knew I could count on ... the one place that has all of your tee shirt needs covered .... 6,000 1560 tee shirts sold .... for all of your sporting goods and outdoor needs ... the right stuff, the low price .... ACADEMY!!! I knew I could count on them!!
On a whim, thinking that perhaps the station is blowing up in Alabama, I asked the lady behind the counter if they had any 1560 tee shirts. When she responded with "1560? Them shirts over there are only 8 bucks! Just grab one of them, save yourself like 10 bucks!!" then I knew that we still had more work to do back in Houston.
We're not quite blowing up in Alabama ... not yet. It's coming though.
So with the Dreamland BBQ ribs still nestled snugly in my digestive tract and rocking my new Alabama tee shirt, I hit the road to head to Music City.

Nice to see the Bama boys don't need no summer learning! I'm sure K.K. Kogslotter is happy they are working on their football skills which are much more important. And obviously some are also working on their drug sellin... I mean home business sales skills.

Unlike our East Coast counterparts, dressing up for a desert winter isn't all about beanies, scarves, and gloves. In the last two weeks alone, we've had rain followed by a heat spell upwards of 95 degrees, and dressing for this wacky weather has been confusing, to say the least. So, instead of heading to your local boutique to pick up a wool cape or a cashmere peacoat, why not check out Cali's best layering pieces? These transitional jackets will keep you cozy and cool depending on how you style them, so you'll always be prepared for a correct seasonal switch. Hey right side, don't you wish you lived here?

Land of Little Rivers, Photographs by Enrico Ferorelli
A Story in Photos of Catskill Fly Fishing
A stunning photographic portrait and rich, lucid narrative of the hallowed streams where American fly fishing had its beginnings.
The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie and Delaware - the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others - are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, Land of Little Rivers presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers; classic rods, reels and flies; and engaging stories of the people, events and developments that constitute the Catskill fly fishing tradition.
Mr. Ferorelli has produced an exquisite, museum-quality work, one that captures magnificently the beauty and passion so central to the sport Izaak Walton called "the gentle art".
The Catskill mountains are the Garden of Eden of American fly fishing and Austin McK. Francis's Land of little Rivers its Genesis - -    Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.Natural Resources Defense Council
Land of Little Rivers is a treasure, a beautiful book, eloquently, wonderfully written, and movingly illustrated - it will be an instant classic - -    Dan Rather, Anchor and Managing Editor, CBS News
This unique portrait of Catskill mountains and rivers reveals the stunning natural beauty and spirit of adventure that has inspired generations of anglers to lead in conserving this outstanding natural resource. A great book has been hatched here - -    Larry Rockefeller Conservationist
A sumptuous visual and verbal feast for all who would know the magic of Catskill rivers, and their textured traditions - -    Nick Lyons, Author, Chairman of The Lyons Press
Mac Francis has had a long love affair with the Beaverkill and its sister streams. Every page in Land of little Rivers - its photos, paintings, writings, but most of all Mac's reflections - is a celebration of passionate commitment. Anyone that shares his love of fly fishing and the speckled trout will revel in his portrayal of the beauty and history of our glorious sport - -    Paul Volcker, Former Chairman, Federal Reserve Board
I've lived and fished in the Catskills for twenty years, but only now, through these beautiful photographs and clear narrative, do I fully appreciate the importance of our angling heritage - -    Joan Wulff - Angler, Director of The Wolff Fishing School

Consumer Activism: Taxing The Dead's Teeth
January 12, 2007
Taxing The Dead's Teeth
Mercury vapors drive people crazy. Danbury hatters went mad from it. The fumes from 19th-century wallpaper killed Napoleon.
So the Federation of British Cremation Authorities is - properly - considering charging $200 per corpse to pay for filtering the mercury poisoning the air around crematories. Jolly good.
Although harmless as an amalgam dental filling, mercury in vapor forms poisons. Isaac Newton tried to convert mercury to gold by evaporating it and suffered "a distemper that seized his head," he wrote. One of his hairs was found to have 15 times more mercury than is normal.
The British Daily Mail says crematoriums could become the single biggest cause of mercury pollution in the U.K. by 2020. Some 70 million cavities are filled with mercury amalgam each year in the United States.
Connecticut has long experience with the toxin. Hat makers got the so-called Danbury shakes while making felt fur hats there. (They washed pelts with mercury nitrate.) So many suffered from the slurred speech, drooling and psychosis of mercury poisoning that people began to speak of the mentally ill as "mad as a hatter."
So talley ho! with the surcharge. Connecticut should consider crematorium filters as well.

Published Reply to Editorial, The Hartford Courant
January 20, 2007
No Problems After Fillings Removed
In response to the Jan. 12 editorial "Taxing The Dead's Teeth," bravo! There is much to be said for ridding our environment of mercury.
I take issue, however, with The Courant's sentiment that mercury amalgam is harmless. I once was one of those "mad hatters" to which the article refers. In spite of copious rounds of doctors, hospitals and nasty psychotropic drugs, each spring and fall season for me brought on a psychosis that included hallucinations, irrational behaviors and generally bipolar tendencies. And, yes, I had the diagnosis to prove it.
Several years ago, however, after having those so-called safe amalgams removed from my teeth, presto! I recovered completely and have kissed the psychiatrist goodbye. Safe? Hah. Tax away.

Here is the French Dental Association response: http://tinyurl.com/267leu
I see that their own studies did find lesions caused by mercury but that they still recommend their use . . . but that people with mercury fillings should be told not to chew gum as this releases too much mercury. That seems to contradict their argument for use.

Thanks for posting my response, Dana.
Because I was looking for employment, I decided to take my remarkable story of healing down from my website. I'll post it here, in case others would like to read it. Keep up the good fight, Nory
On May 16th, 1986, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I with psychotic features. It was, my doctor told my husband, David, a condition caused by a "chemical imbalance" – a condition that would only become progressively worse over time. It was a life sentence – pure and simple – or so I believed for the sixteen and a half years that followed.
I experienced mania with regularity, during which time I would be awake for days and weeks at a time. I was hospitalized on at least twelve occasions. Many other times I stayed at home as our health insurance only covered catastrophic occurrences. When I was not manic, I entered into deep depressions or simply a flat feeling brought on by taking large doses of lithium, tranquilizers and anti-depressants. For some months after my first "episode" I lived in a state of black outs – awakening now and again into my life's circumstances. It was a little like coming in and out of a dream state. I never knew what I would be awakening into and how long consciousness would last. As well as the mania and depression, I endured a condition known as attention deficit disorder. I was unable to think clearly, follow directions easily, or organize my time. I had difficulty retaining information and often forgot the names of people that I had known for years.
The side effects from the medications I had to take were gruesome. I had chronic diarrhea almost daily for thirteen years from a dose of Lithium that was well above the therapeutic level for most patients. There were tremors, swelling, weight gain and confusion. My hair fell out in clumps. By the time I was thirty-eight, there were new medicines on the market – seizure medications that were being prescribed for bipolar disorder. I had a new psychiatrist who prescribed copious amounts of medications for me. I was taking two full handfuls of pills each day. In her discharge summary, dated 10/1/2001, she wrote:
"This patient has a history of severe Bipolar disorder consisting of severe manic episodes with psychotic and delusional thinking alternating with severe depressions accompanied by some suicidal ideation since late adolescence…
…A number of medications were tried, singly and in combination. None of the atypicals were useful in managing manic or depressive episodes…. She was most stable on her current medications which consist of: Depakote 1500 mg, Tegretol XR 400-600 mg, lithium 300-600 mg per day depending on side effects, Levothyroid .75 mg, and Topomax 100 mg. She uses Lorazepam (a tranquilizer) as needed for sleep.
Haldol ranging from 2 to 10 mg is the most effective for controlling manic breakthroughs as well as adjunctive treatment for the depression. Wellbutrin ranging from 100 mg to 400 mg per day is used for treatment of depressive symptoms. Amantadine from 100 mg to 300 mg per day is needed for side effects experienced on the Haldol. In addition to the above medications, she is currently on birth control pills to suppress ovulation because ovulation is thought to be a substantial trigger for both manic and depressive episodes."
On top of this, I developed irritable bowel syndrome – for which my gastroenterologist informed me there was no cure. On top of the psychiatric medications, I took medications for that condition. Days went by that all I wanted was to die.
In May of 2002, I began treatments with a nutritionist, Dr. Roger Sylvestre, who recommended that I have my amalgams removed. From the time of removal of the first amalgams, I noticed a change in my mood and demeanor. I have had no episodes of mania or depression for the last three years, during which time I have had no need of psychiatric medications, hospitalization, or therapy. I have completed a Masters degree in Education and have recently been hired as an English teacher in a State school. These were just dreams to me before having the mercury removed from my teeth. Now that I am mercury free, I am able to be thoughtful, happy, and productive and "normal." On September 29 2005, my psychiatrist gave me a clean bill of health.

Mothers will be the self-publishing trend leaders in transforming the children's book publishing market.
Matthews, NC (PRWEB) May 08, 2013
Just in time for Mother's Day, Melissa Perry Moraja, founder of Melissa Productions, reaffirms her commitment to mothers everywhere as a trend leader in the children's book self-publishing marketplace. Melissa Productions is a frontrunner in the children's book self-publishing arena with childhood favorites like her Splatter and Friends children's picture book series, Jake's Adventure children's chapter book series and most recently Madison and GA (My Guardian Angel) children's chapter book series.

Melissa states, "I am continuing to create stories that will touch children's lives, hearts and creative minds. Melissa Productions will only provide the best books to help your children grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually."
In 2004, when a drop of paint splattered on Melissa's hardwood floor, her creative mind transformed it into a colorful, friendly character which she inevitably named as Splatter. Not long after, she developed friends for Splatter, their world and their story. These characters are the the Guardians of the Prism and without them color doesn't exist in the world.
"Color is one thing that children of all ages love and can relate to, especially because it can positively shift their mood," shares Melissa. "The color of Splatter and each of his friends represents the mood of their personality and their innate behaviors. These characters provide a fun, friendly way for parents to help their children express their personal splaterrific color."
With two degrees, global marketing experience, and entrepreneurial vision, Melissa didn't stop there. As her kids entered elementary school, she wanted to continue making a difference in their lives and taught herself how to write and illustrate children's chapter books, while also sharing her knowledge and experiences on her blog titled Not Your Ordinary Psychic Mom blog.
It was in 2011, when her daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and just four weeks after giving birth to her fourth child that Melissa realized her stories and illustrations could help children, mothers, and fathers with difficult situations that families often go through. That's when she started to write a new humor modern-fantasy series called Madison and GA (My Guardian Angel) that teaches children that they don't have to be perfect.
Together, these interwoven stories turned into Melissa Productions, Inc. a self-publishing trend leader whose mission is to bring laughter and color back into your home and heart by creating humorous, educational products and services that promote self-awareness, creative learning and leadership for people ages two and up.
About Melissa Productions, Inc.

From humble beginnings
to worldwide success
Back in 1983 in Clearwater, Florida, six businessmen with no restaurant experience whatsoever got together to open a place they couldn't get kicked out of. True story.
More than three decades later, the Hooters brand has grown into an international sensation, with more than 420 Hooters in 29 countries. How do you say Hooters in all those languages? Here's a hint. It's just Hooters.
The recipe
for a good time
Sometimes you hit on a big idea by accident—just by putting the stuff you love all in one place. Craveable food, cold beer, and all the sports you could possibly watch on wall-to-wall big screen TVs. And let's not forget the Hooters Girls. It all seems so simple, we can't believe nobody else ever thought of it.
All-American fun
in 29 countries
Since the beginning, we've been deeply involved in the communities we serve and continue to increase our commitment to the causes we hold most dear.
We're a proud partner of the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research, and also established a Breast Cancer Research Grant in the name of Kelly Jo Dowd—the beloved 1998 Hooters Calendar Cover Girl who spent the last years of her life battling breast cancer. To date, Hooters has raised more than four million dollars to benefit the V Foundation and the fight against breast cancer.
In addition, the Hooters Community Endowment Fund raises money for important local and national charities like the Make-A-Wish Foundation, U.S.O., Special Olympics, American Diabetes Association, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

An Alkalizing Juice
2 stalks organic celery
1 organic cucumber
1 organic green apple
1 organic carrot
1 cup organic spinach
Juicing tips and tricks
Use high-water content vegetables as a base, such as cucumbers and celery. These will not only add more volume, but help dilute more potent juices.
Include fruits and vegetables high in manganese, as this mineral helps reduce insulin resistance. These include parsley, carrots, cabbage, collard greens, endive, beet greens, broccoli and spinach.
Avoid the highest-sugar fruits, such as pineapple and mango. These juices can contain up to eight teaspoons of sugar each.
Both asparagus and green beans contain several compounds that help stabilize blood sugar. To sweeten juices, add lower-sugar fruits such as green apple and kiwi. Berries are also a good option, particularly blueberries which are high in manganese.
Select herbs and spices for added flavor. Cinnamon is proven to help stabilize blood sugar when consumed consistently, and other flavorful ingredients to try include parsley, ginger, cilantro and fennel.

Aid for struggling family
The old house will be
demolished Tuesday with a new home built by Nov. 30.
By DAVID SKOLNICK
CANFIELD — For Rebecca Bailing, the purchase of a house on Shields Road was "a dream come true."
But the mother of three quickly realized after moving that the house was a nightmare.
Things didn't start out well. On her first day at the house in September 2004, she found hundreds and hundreds of flying ants inside.
After the ants, it was mice.
It moved on to poorly installed windows, a severely damaged roof, water in the house, septic backup, mold on the walls causing the family to become ill, the housing moving off its foundation and all sorts of other problems.
"The house was a lost hope," Bailing said. "There were always problems with it. It was just too much. It would have taken forever to have it all fixed."
Three handymen told Bailing that the problems were so severe that it would be cheaper to demolish her house and build a new one.
Though they were correct, Bailing didn't have the money for a new house, and said it would have been wrong to sell the "money pit" to someone else.
"I was constantly having to put money into the house," she said. "It was upsetting. It's been a constant battle."
Besides being a single mom raising her two sons — John, 13, and Carter, 7 — and 10-year daughter, Haley, Bailing is a jailer at the Mahoning County Sheriff's Department, works with the mentally handicapped and is a senior at Youngstown State University majoring in psychology.
Despite her problems, Bailing tried to make her house a home.
About three weeks ago, she had a party for John and Carter's pee-wee football teammates and their families.
Among those who came was Andrea Murphy of Canfield. She noticed a plastic tarp covering holes in Bailing's roof.
When Murphy returned home, she spoke with her husband, Don Murphy, general manager of Donnell Ford, and asked if there was a way to pay for a new roof for Bailing.
Don Murphy made a few calls to friends, and they decided that instead of putting a new roof on Bailing's house, they would build her a new house. "It's the greatest community to live in the world in terms of generosity," he said.
Everyone approached to help has volunteered, said Murphy and Sam Pitzulo, owner of Sam Pitzulo Homes in Canfield, who will serve as the general contractor on the new house.
"In the home building industry nationally, builders are just hurting — as are the trades and construction," Pitzulo said. "Every company is having the worst year, yet everyone said, 'How can we help?'"
Bailing said she's overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone involved in the effort.
"It's not something you expect to see every day," she said. "It's so hard to believe. I can't think of the words to say. Oh, my God, it's happening. It's my dream.
"I've dreamt of having a new house my whole life," she continued. "There are people out there who are so generous to strangers. It's nice to know this could happen. I get so overwhelmed thinking about it. I'm completely shocked."
Pitzulo typically needs five to six months to build a house like the one being constructed for Bailing and her family — 2,100 square feet with four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms.
Bailing's 69-year-old house is 1,236 square feet, about half the size of the new one, with three bedrooms and one bathroom.
Bailing's house will be demolished at 8 a.m. Tuesday and the new house is slated to be finished Nov. 30 with a final presentation to the family a day later. Bailing and her family will see the house for the first time on a large portable screen television at the lighting of the Green in Canfield.
"We'll get it done on time with good scheduling and a lot of cooperation from suppliers and the trades," Pitzulo said. "The construction industry stepped up to the plate. We'll work at a quicker schedule. It's amazing that it will happen so quickly."
The new home and quick turnaround is similar to what is done on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" TV show. "Extreme Makeover" built a new home in October 2005 for Jeff Novak and his three daughters in Boardman.
"This is our first time and hopefully not the last," Murphy said of his group called Mahoning Valley Extreme Makeover My Home Town.
Bailing will stay with family and friends and at a hotel during construction. The local Pepsi distributor is providing a seven-day vacation to Disney World for Bailing and her kids starting Nov. 10. Goldsteins Furniture & Bedding is donating new furniture to the family, Murphy said.
Everyone involved is eagerly waiting for the Dec. 1 unveiling of the new home.
"When I see the smiles, it will be a great feeling," Murphy said.
There is still the need for volunteers and money for materials to build the house. Those interested in donating time or resources can contact Murphy at (330) 726-8181 or Pitzulo at (330) 718-7081. Monetary contributions can be made at any Farmers National Bank with checks made to Mahoning Valley Makeover My Home Town.

You've got just left to go tenting when the skies convert gray as well as in ten minutes it is actually pouring buckets! What to do? Should you head back? But you Maine summer camps only this weekend off. Acquire courage my buddy; with very good planning it is possible to have a good weekend!
The primary issue to keep in mind is that old Boy Scout motto, "Be prepared". In no way think the climate is going to be good. What is the worst, or almost worst thing that may happen? Effectively it could rain quite a bit or perhaps snow for those who are at truly superior elevations. And winds may be large. So why hassle heading? Very well occur on, you are aware of the solution! It can be the perfect time to just get far from the rat race! And it could get good anyway. So so how exactly does a person put together?
Products: You don't need to devote loads of revenue but you do ought to pick out tenting tents sensibly. Try to remember that you simply definitely do get that which you pay for so resist the temptation to carry out the Google hunt for affordable tents. Fairly appear for long lasting nicely developed camping and cabin tents. I remember among my early tent activities where my close friends experienced opted for cheap. We had wind and after that snow, followed by freezing rain. I crawled out of my Eureka cabin tent to see my friend's deal tent collapsed and there were three humps under that mess trying to snooze! Needless to convey they ended up soaked as had been there sleeping luggage and equipment. So make a decision what your most important works by using will be and do some study. Are you currently backpacking or applying a vehicle or do you think you're utilizing horses? A few of us nonetheless adore the old, aged strategy for finding in the backcountry. In case you undoubtedly are a backpacker weight is crucial. But search for camping tents that happen to be shaped to deflect wind and have durable aid factors. The rods should be no less than 11mm in diameter as well as junction fittings need to be solid. The tent ought to be formed to deflect the wind rather then getting straight partitions. Cabin tents, by way of example, have altered their structure to a lot more sloping walls and plenty of incorporate several of the dome qualities too. This makes them a far better tent. So just take advantage of new technological innovation; more mature isn't really always better. For those who don't agree, check out out how your cell cellphone has transformed!
Climate: What may perhaps you be up towards in the event the temperature turns poor? This really is a crucial dilemma to answer right before you head out! If it truly is soaked, windy, and chilly therefore you are geared up you will love beating the weather. So use a appropriate sleeping bag that can maintain you heat. Or if it could be warm, carry a single that fits above another or get yourself a two section bag. Does one use a heater? A small heater that is built for your tent will make issues heat and comfy. But beware of everything you use within a tent. Never use charcoal briquettes as they emit carbon monoxide and can destroy. Similarly, employing open up flame stoves and various devises not approved as heaters may be harmful. Anything at all that offers off fumes needs to be vented. Acquire garments that will assist you to defeat the weather. A wind breaker, wind pants, a rain suit, additional layers to remain heat if it cools off, an excellent hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are all necessities. Try to employ items that perform in quite a few scenarios. For instance, a rain fit can double as a wind suit if perfectly decided on. Employing levels alternatively of different merchandise all over again saves room and fat. Research what clothes defend very best. Blue jeans would be the worst for keeping in heat whenever they get damp. Still wool retains 80% of your respective warmth in even if it truly is soaking soaked. One could devote a complete post on the new materials as well as their features.

There's a rage now, as our governing bodies give increasingly more numerous and learer signals that there's a wish to resume, in one form or another, the ecologically, socially and architectural disastrous mining project in Roșia Montană. And some others, less talked about. We revolt (rather passively and in small numbers, it's true), but we are responsible, also.
We were all extremely proud and happy after the autumn of 2013, when an incredible civic phenomenon turned around that which seemed an unavoidable tragedy. Afterwards, (apparently) nothing much happened, either there, or in Bucharest… a trial, statements, a sudden drainage of the torrent of advertisements, prizes, and other means of propaganda by the company. And then came the Colectiv tragedy, and then came the technocratic CioloșGovernment, the only government to have truly struggled to register the place in the UNESCO heritage, thus actually closing any possibility of resuming the destruction operation.
Well, it was not actually what seems to happen now, which was perhaps to be expected, given the enormous interests and the unheard‑of consensus along the political and media spectrum, in favour of the mining project. The real issue is that it would be more difficult for everyone, were they to fight not only a procedure that was officially assumed by Romania, but also a resistance and a credible on‑site alternative.
And this is because the situation of people there is very bad indeed, and one can see why many of them believed and still believe in the miraculous salvation the project would bring along (we are not discussing here the actual impact and the long‑term annihilation of the community). What do we offer in exchange?
Few of us know or remember that the mega‑protests, the international network, and all the others were able to come to light and were supported by an intense on‑site activity, started many years before, and based on the cooperation with the locals, of activists and civic organizations of all sorts. Also in respect of architecture. We have presented in our magazine, many times, books and exhibitions from the activity of the A.R.A. (Arhitecture. Restauration. Arheology) Association, whose members are organizing, among others together with the local association Alburnus Maior, the amazing program "Adopt a house in Roșia Montană" (see it yourselves on adoptaocasa.ro). (Mostly) financed by donations, the Association's architects are working together with volunteers and locals to save and restore some local monuments. The purpose is not only to prevent their disappearance, but also to build an alternate future, supported, among others, by tourism.
Of course, it would be naive to imagine one can mount a regeneration based on volunteering only. Top‑down action is needed. Obviously, the UNESCO part of the deal was the first essential step; the elimination of legal monofunctionally—another. Public programs, financing, many things are necessary. It's just that, even in the most developed countries, such programs have a chance and are started only where a powerful movement, networks, synergies, already exist in this direction. Some of us may miss the gravel‑filled plastic bottle at the 2013 demonstrations, but this is not the main way to it. As strange as it may sound, even in order to stand a better chance on a central political level, we need to do more to support and promote the people working on spot, we should try to get there more often.

Battle For Bats:
The Survivors
by Dave McGowan
We dropped into an unnamed cave on a snowy slope in Vermont. Scott Darling, Vermont FWD, and Jeremy Coleman, US FWS, assembled a team of biologist to band bats in an effort to determine if any bats had survived the onslaught of White Nose Syndrome. Tom Clayton and I were there to film the process.
The cave was hit hard by WNS. Historically, it had over 600 bats during the winter. Currently, there are 70 survivors. And the survivors looked pretty darn healthy. That's a good sign that these bats can live with the WNS fungus and provides hope that they may seed subsequent generations with a tolerance for the disease.
Sadly, a month later, we were there when Rod McClanahan, Shawnee National Forest, and Megan Harris, Mark Twain National Forest, found the first documented case of WNS on a little brown in southern Illinois. Rod and Megan share resources for their multi-year bat monitoring program in Illinois and Missouri. The news was heart breaking but not unexpected. Illinois was the hole in the Midwestern donut of WNS. It had already been confirmed in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri.
David Blehert, National Wildlife Health Center, showed us the new tools that have been developed to detect WNS spores in the soil of caves. The Real Time polymerase Chain Reaction led them to discover 20 new species of the WNS fungus that were previously unknown to science.
Cindy Sandeno, Monongahela National Forest, and I visited Mammoth Cave to film their new bio-mats. Mammoth has confirmed WNS in their bat populations. Rick Toomey, Mammoth Cave International Center for Science and Learning, explained how the bio-mats reduce the chance of spreading WNS fungus and other micro-organisms to other caves.
Cameraman Coulter Mitchell joined Cindy and I on our last production location in Texas. We interviewed Merlin Tuttle, founder of Bat Conservation International, and filmed the emergence of 15 million free-tail bats from Bracken Cave. We also filmed the emergence at the Congress Ave. bridge in Austin.
Now we have to distill 50 hours of digital film and over 100 pages of transcripts into a 12 minute movie. Wish us luck!

An Interview with Dr. Carl Bell
by Ken Redeker
Lack of health insurance has prevented me from receiving adequate treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). If I had received frequent therapy, I would have been able to graduate from college, and get a better job.
Last April, I interviewed the internationally recognized, African-American, psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Bell. One year ago, his clinic for 37 years, the Community Mental Health Council on the south side of Chicago was closed by the state of Illinois.
Since 2009, the state of Illinois has cut $187 million from its mental health budget, and Dr. Bell's clinic treated 26,000 low income people with funding from the state. On August 1st 2012, his clinic closed was closed. After the closure, he rolled his chair outside and saw about 500 patients on the sidewalk until the end of August. He said, "I'm convinced because they (his patients) are predominately black, they're in Cook County Jail", which he and Cook County Sherriff Tom Dart say is the largest mental health hospital in the country. The patients he did see are now in other clinics, but some are now in the hospital. Dr. Bell says "some people would say it (his clinic) was essentially assassinated by the state of Illinois."
Dr. Bell also advocates prevention. "We need to do a better job identifying mental illness early on in life," he says. "There is solid science that you can prevent depression, substance abuse, violence, maybe even schizophrenia," he adds.
Dr. Bell and I discussed budget cuts by the state, OCD, and preventive care. The hidden expense of untreated mental illness in the U.S. cost more than $100 billion a year in lost productivity, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Suicide ranks among the top 15 most common killers in the U.S. (in the top three among young people). This video demonstrates the need for more government spending on mental health care and the imperative need for prevention.

Finca Bohemia
by David Cottrell
Lorena Calvo is up at 4 a.m. to begin her three hour drive west from her home in Guatemala City, to coffee plantation, Finca Bohemia. The plantation has been in her family since 1896. The 200 acre coffee farm is constantly showered with ash from the active Santiaguito Volcano. The ash is key to the region's excellent coffeeThe main export in Guatemala is coffee. And over 70,000 coffee producers work in 8 different regions producing some of the world's best coffee beans. "My grandmother and mother both had managed this farm. And in 1989, I was doing my research thesis here, and I was concerned about the dynamics of biodiversity. I saw how happy my grandmother and mother were working here, and I thought it would be a great way to live." Lorena, a professional biologist, decided to run the farm in an ecologically sustainable fashion by interweaving forested corridors amongst her coffee, macadamia, and banana crops.
Eagle Eyes Screening
by Stephanie Shepherd, Iowa DNR
On Monday March 4th, Dave McGowan and I attended and partially hosted a small lunchtime screening of the recently released video entitled: "Eagle Eyes: Working together for Bald Eagle Conservation" at the Arlington, VA headquarters of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (US FWS). Several people on US FWS' endangered species team as well as employees from the U.S. Forest Service attended the screening which was organized by David Harrelson (US FWS Endangered Species Biologist) and Alicia King (US FWS Migratory Bird Coordinator).
This video was funded by a grant from the American Eagle Foundation and was developed to support the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program. Among other things, this program trains Iowa citizens to monitor and report on Bald Eagle nests in the state. The US FWS became interested in this citizen science program and thought it might be a useful program for other states to employ as a cost-effective method of meeting Bald Eagle monitoring requirements. The result was the production of the 20 minute training video by Ravenswood Media, Inc. and Iowa DNR which in Iowa, will help us reach out to more potential volunteers and nationally, will introduce other state and conservation agencies to this type of citizen science program.
The Land Trust of McHenry County
by Dave McGowan
When we're not making films about the environment, we make commercials for local businesses. Recently, the two genres met in a 1 minute video for The Land Conservancy of McHenry County. Ken Redeker and I spent a morning with the Executive Director, Lisa Haderlein, at their grounds outside of Huntley, Illinois.
It had been a long time since I was last in the area and the change in the landscape was shocking. The farms were nearly all gone and replaced with subdivisions and strip malls. Clearly, land needed to be conserved, and fast, before the last vestiges of rural McHenry County were lost forever.
The Land Conservancy of McHenry County is doing their part to conserve habitat and provide peace of mind to the inhabitants of an ever increasing urban expansion. Luckily, this isn't just happening in McHenry County. It's happening across the country by communities that recognize the role green spaces play in our quality of life. The Land Conservancy of McHenry County is part of a national organization, the Land Trust Alliance, that has emerged as major force in land conservation.
The Venom Trail
by Steve Spence
I have always wanted to make a film about snakes...but with a limited budget and limited time, It's pretty hard to make an interesting piece. Think about it...snakes; even though they are amazing animals don't really do much. They coil, the sometimes hiss and every now and again they will strike and feed on something. I decided then that in order to make a 10ish minute film interesting it had to be about more than snakes themselves...it had to be about people and what people fear most about snakes...venom!
I am currently a student at Montana State University's MFA in Natural History and Scientific Film program and a past intern of Ravenswood Media. I have always had a passion for wildlife film making and without the help of these amazing organizations, I would never have had the opportunity to follow such a crazy dream. Dave at Ravenswood taught me a lot. I had a great experience shooting with him on two projects, "The Blue River" and "Where Waters Wed" and I still use the skills I learned with him in my filmmaking today. I always find myself looking for light movement and areas backlit by the sun...two things that Dave taught me. Small subtle things like a shot of backlit leaves or cloud shadows leaving layers of light really add to the sense of place when setting up an area. The MFA program had been the best thing that I have ever done, I cant express in words how much I have learned during my time here. My filmmaking skills have been fined tuned through lecture, critique, practice and my mistakes. It is truly amazing how skills will change once you spend time and dedicate yourself to a craft.
The Venom Trail used both the skills I learned at Ravenswood and MSU. I worked every day for close to a year on the film....every day for under 15 minutes for edited footage. I worked alone on everything from pre-production, to fund raising. The only part I didn't do alone was the actual production. I had the opportunity to work with a great DP, Casey Kanode, who without his keen eye, the film would not have been the same. Thanks to the extra time I spent in pre, the post process was quick and painless, 2 months of editing (including sound and color) and I was exporting the final cut.
I have just stared on my next film exploring human's effects on the underwater would that surrounds us all. It should be completed by the end of May 2014. Please watch the film on the link provided and if you have any questions, shoot me an email.

STOP Foodborne Illness
by Mike Brockway
Ravenswood Media has the enviable position among businesses in that we believe in what our clients do. STOP Foodborne Illness is a powerful example of the kind of organization that we're very proud to assist. Alex was a little red headed kid whose nose was too small to hold up his glasses. He died from a food borne illness. It wasn't necessary. It was preventable. The staff at STOP work very hard to make sure other people don't have to go through the trauma that Alex and his parents went through.
Some foodborne illnesses (commonly referred to as "food poisoning") only cause a temporary and minor inconvenience, but many are linked to long-term disease, severe health consequences and even death. Ravenswood Media web site client, STOP Foodborne Illness is a national nonprofit public health organization that was formed in the aftermath of the 1993 Pacific Northwest E. coli outbreak caused by fast food.
STOP considers their web site, stopfoodborneillness.org to be a "lifeline" for people affected by foodborne illness. They turned to Ravenswood Media when it was time to update this critical resource. Working from STOP Program Director Stanley Rutledge's sketches the Ravenswood Media web team, Mike Brockway and Ken Redeker put Stanley's ideas online. We incorporated input from STOP's constituency and staff and crafted the new web presence with a fresh, clean look that's visually attractive, better organized and includes more content and resources to help those seeking information about or assistance with foodborne illnesses. The new site is CMS (Content Management System) based so that STOP staffers have the access needed to keep it up to date. We incorporated responsive features which conform the STOP site to the size of the screen used by the viewer. Our objective was to create a flexible site that could be amended quickly and easily by STOP staff. The goal of the site is to provide the user with easily accessed information and an emotional context for the organization's existence.
The STOP staff and board are passionate about relating the stories of foodborne illness victims. Nancy Donley, STOP spokeswoman and Alex's mother, says "When you hear a dry statistic, 48 million illnesses, 148,000 hospitalizations, and 3000 deaths – they don't mean anything until you attach a face, a story and a life to those statistics. Every one of those stands for a human being who had dreams and loves and passions."
It's an honor to be part of their team.Top

By Executive Director Jeremy Chiappetta
In order to successfully realize the mission and vision of getting all of our scholars on a path to success, we believe that:
1. Our schools must be diverse, and
2. We must actively use our diversity to support and engage all members of our community.
In July, BVP made national news when it was named a founding member of the National Coalition of Diverse Charter Schools. Our schools were also featured in The New York Times, The Century Foundation blog, ASCD's Education Leadership publication, and Education Sector, to name a few. Although these highlights show how hard we have been working to do this well, we are only at the beginning of the journey.
In order to get recently hired staff members engaged in the conversation, BVP kicked off its summer professional development this year by hosting a panel discussion on diversity with featured guest Halley Potter, a Fellow at The Century Foundation, BVP Parent and Central Falls Councilwoman Tammi Johnson, RI-CAN Executive Director Christine Lopes and the Former Central Falls School District Deputy Superintendent Victor Capellan, who recently joined the team at Mass Insight. You can watch the full panel discussion here.
Before school started, we hosted an optional working lunch session for all staff to engage in discussion related to the occurrences in Ferguson. Below are also links to blog reflections from some of our team and community members:
Guest Blogger: Ferguson is About All of Us, by Tracey Dann
Another Reflection on Ferguson from Team BVP, by Nick Mosher
One BVP Team Member's Struggle to Find the Words, by Jen LoPiccolo
On Ferguson, by Jeremy Chiappetta
Reflections on Ferguson, BVP, and Our Path to the Mountaintop, by Jonathon Acosta
All of this is only a small part of an ongoing and much larger conversation, a conversation that we are looking for you to join. We truly need a variety of voices in order to make the discussion about diversity valuable, authentic and dynamic.
If you're struggling with knowing how to make your voice heard, want to learn more, or don't even know where to start, I invite you to join us on September 11 from 6:00-7:30PM for a book talk with Dr. Howard Fuller, a professor of education and Director of the Institute for the Transformation of Learning at Marquette University. You can read more about him here.
Dr. Fuller is a strong voice today around issues of diversity, race, and education reform, and his events usually sell out. Expect this book discussion to get you thinking and - more importantly - talking about these very important topics. Spots are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot before tickets sell out. RSVP is required.
Copies of Dr. Fuller's book, No Struggle, No Progress, will be for sale at the event, and Dr. Fuller will be available for a book signing immediately following the talk.
*If you read his book before then, shoot us a note to let us know your thoughts. We may even post your review as a blog, much like our pre-post from 2012 about Michael Petrilli's book, The Diverse Schools Dilemma. If you're itching to read more on these topics, below are attachments to some of BVP's very own required readings that staff completed over the summer (some are links to videos):
- "Every Kid Needs a Champion," Rita F. Pierson
- "The Danger of a Single Story," Chimamanda Adichie
- "The Widening Income Achievement Gap," Sean Reardon
- "Rhode Island Holds the Key for Educating Diverse Students," John Morton and Pablo Rodriguez

How will the auctioneer promote your Assets. These are several progressive tools auctioneers have to bring bidders to the auction. Auctioneers can spend from $500-$30,000 advertising an auction. It's important to know this when considering an auctioneer.
- Web Site: It should utilize the most advanced technologies and be optimized
- Web Site: Is it outdated and cheap, are there broken links, can it be found in searches
- Web knowledge: Does the Auction firm have a technology budget to stay current
- Auction Web Optimization (URL specific to your auction)
- Photos: Pictures should be clear and abundant to represent the assets
- Mailing List - Email: How many bonafide subscribers do they have
- Social media: Facebook, Twitter, etc.
- Descriptions - Written for the search engine crawlers
- Is the website mobile enhanced for I-Phones and Androids
The list gets longer but in Choosing an Auction Company the Website and Marketing Machine will quickly eliminate many auction firms that are relying on antiquated ways to sell you property.
What are the credentials of the Auctioneer. This is important to determine the emphasis the Auctioneer puts on Learning to keep current with the current Best Practices in the Auction Business to delivering high level customer service guided by minimum standards of excellence. Check for industry membership and always seek to to do business with NAA (National Auctioneer Association) Members. Look for the NAA Logo. Members of the NAA abide by a strict Code of Ethics. The National Auctioneers Association exists to provide critical resources to auction professionals that will enhance their skills and successes.
Who would go to a doctor who has no credentials, insurance or association membership?
Insurance and Compliance
Auction Firms and their Auctioneers should have sufficient insurance policies and limits of liability should an unfortunate accident occur. A professional Auction Company should have readily available for view a Certificate of Insurance outlining the insurance type, insurance carriers and policy dates. Check to see if the Auctioneer and Appraiser is insured for Professional Acts of Errors or Omissions, Liability, and for your Property in the Auctioneer's Care Custody and Control. Do they have coverage for Independent Contractors and Employees.
Check for the industry memberships and Education Credentials of the Auction firms. Members of the National Auctioneers Association, NAA. Members of the NAA abide by a strict Code of Ethics which ensures professionalism and protects both you and the buyer. The National Auctioneers Association exists to provide critical resources to auction professionals that will enhance their skills and successes.
Compliance: Many states require auctioneers meet professional licensing requirements. Municipalities may also require auctioneers have permits or licenses.
Reserves - Protection
Ask the Auctioneer about the procedure to protect your assets. A Reserve is the minimum price which a auctioneer may sell your item for. Reserves are one of the most important parts of your consignment, perhaps more important than the commission you are paying. Reserves are usually based on a percentage of the low estimate. A typical reserve is 60%-80% of the low estimate.
- Reserves are in both the auctioneers and sellers interest. They protect items from selling for very little. In my experience estates with reserves realize more than 10% more than estates without.
- Reserves protect consumers from auctioneers providing false or inflated estimates. This is a practice where an auctioneer inflates their estimates to make their gallery sound more enticing.
- Reserves also protect both the Auctioneer and Seller from Collusion. This is when multiple bidders decide not to bid against each other to obtain your item for less. This happens every day.
- It is reasonable to expect reserves on $250 items and above. In some cases 50% reserves on lesser items in a cataloged auction. Reserves on box lots, and lower valued items should not be considered. They also should not be considered in a uncatalogued auction format.
Be Prepared! Questions From Auctioneer
The auctioneer will have some questions for you as well. How soon must your property be sold? Why are you selling now? Have you tried selling before through other methods? While you're trying to choose an auctioneer, the auctioneer will be determining if they can meet your needs and get the best price for your property.
Once you've made your choice in an auctioneer and determined the services you want, you'll cement the partnership by signing a contract. The contract will spell out your responsibilities, the responsibilities of the auctioneer, commissions, expenses you'll pay and when you'll receive the proceeds from the sale. Read the contract carefully and make sure you know the details of the contract before you sign. If you're unsure before you sign, ask questions.

I think there's rumors that IR scanners will be able to handle the darkness.
I almost forgot what I was super excited about hearing tomorrow!
I think it is going to be very interesting how Apple "upgrades" the Retina display. Remember, back with the introduction of the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs said that a retina display was capped at 300 ppi. Your eyes could not sense any pixels at that point already. So why is there all of a sudden a need to make it higher resolution?! To waste battery? Batteries are bad enough!
This moment will be huge.
I dont think the 7s will have feature that the 8/X has. 7s will be similar to 7 with upgraded CPU, GPU, and all internal chip, but not gain any additional feature.
16GB iPhone 5s is my favorite type, but a few years ago it was stolen....
Hahaha, yeah good thinking, I still think fingerprints will be more reliable than face recognition, although someone can still use your finger to unlock your phone when you sleeping.......
Hi, I've always bought the "s" version of the latest iPhone coming out, and I've changed every two models (from 4s to 6s) so I think for the moment I'll keep my iPhone 6s .... and then I'll go straight to the iPhone Xs (or better XXL?) But I really believe that the "X" anniversary version will be awesome!!!Bye,David
Apparently it will be called iPhone X edition, definitely looking forward to it! Hope Anker makes super fast wireless charger for it!
I would prefer bezelless screen with more designing changes.
I lost my old 5s 16gb in a park last week ... obviously it was battery drain so I could not geo-locate it with "find my iPhone" This is another reason to not go out of my house without my anker power core 10000mah
Raising hand to test Ankers wireless charger for new phone and hopefullt a wireless charging magnetic car mount as well
I'm in for an iPhone X.
Today is the day we find out everything
Have you seen the mythbusters episode on that type of thing where all they did to bypass one was having a printed version of the print? lol (watch until the end)
Who's watching the keynote?!
Currently watching now...looks like Anker's wireless chargers should work with the IPhone 8 due to its Qi charging standard...
Remember watching that episode...although printing a fingerprint duplicate would be a touch harder than messing with a face hack.
Just waiting for the macrumors threads to start when someone manages to crack FaceID...1 in a million chance of someone's face being able to unlock your phone, not certain I buy that a5 the moment
...and Craig's fumble at the beginning of the demo kinda lends weight to my worries...
We pay in full for our phones. We keep them for years. My wife has been using iPhone 5 for years and its finally acting up so we will be replacing hers with an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7s after new ones are released. I was using an iPhone 4 for years and replaced it after Apple stopped supporting it. I moved to Android and will replace my mine with an iPhone 8 next summer if my LG G4 lasts that long.
does iPhone 8 have quick charge?
So, I just got done watching the Apple Event. I think that if I do decide to upgrade from my 6s that I've had for 2 years now, I'd go with the iPhone X. I wasn't too impressed with the iPhone 8. It's iPhone X or no upgrade. But the price is what's holding me back. I guess T-Mobile will have me paying monthly for the iPhone again. Just got done paying off my iPhone 6s too. LOL.

Motorists will be offered free tyre checks and safety advice at an event in Peterborough tomorrow (Thursday, October 19).
Officers will be joining representatives from Kwik Fit at the Haddon Services on the A605 from 10am until 2pm as part of Tyre Safety Month.
The campaign aims to highlight the importance of checking tyre tread depth, pressure and general condition on a regular basis. It is recommended this is done at least once a month and before long journeys.
Accurate tyre pressures ensure the vehicle handles correctly, reduces the chances of a sudden deflation and also helps to save fuel.
In addition to the increased dangers, motorists who fail to perform regular checks risk a potential fine of up to £2,500 and three-penalty points per defective tyre.
Jon Morris, casualty reduction officer, said: "It is incredibly important for people to perform regular tyre safety checks. It doesn't take long to make sure tyres are in good condition and doing so could prevent a serious incident.
"Having tyres with incorrect pressure or insufficient tread depth significantly increases you chances of being involved in a collision."
For more information on the campaign or to get information on the correct tyre pressures for your vehicle, click here.

October 30, 2006
By Tom Curet, Idaho Department of Fish and Game
You can tell by the multitudes of drift boats arriving in town
every weekend - the steelhead are back in the Salmon River.
So when did they get here? How long does it take them to get here
from the ocean? What do they do all winter? The steelhead has one
of the most fascinating and complex life histories of all
sea-going (anadromous) fish that return to Idaho to spawn.
Steelhead began migrating from the ocean back to Idaho in July.
Counting facilities on Columbia and Snake River dams allow
biologists and anglers to track the movement and timing of these
fish. A few will arrive in the upper Salmon River by late August
or early September.
Radio tracking of moving fish shows that returning steelhead are
capable of traveling up to 18 miles each day as they navigate
their way through reservoir pools. In free flowing portions of the
Snake River, they move up to sixteen miles per day.
In some years the water temperatures in the lower Snake River
reservoirs can be high enough to inhibit adult movement into the
Snake from the Columbia River. During those warm years, the
arrival of the adult steelhead can be delayed until later in the
Based on check station results over the past few weekends,
steelhead are beginning to arrive in earnest. Fish will continue
to arrive in the upper river corridor throughout the fall, and the
upstream migration will continue until winter descends on the
Salmon River country.
During most years, steelhead have been documented upstream as far
as Challis before the onset of winter. Once winter grips the
river, many of these fish will remain in the larger pools and deep
run habitats in the Salmon River, waiting for spring to arrive at
hatcheries or spawning areas.
After staging all winter, fish begin a final push upstream to
their spawning grounds when winter relents. Many fish are enroute
to either the Pahsimeroi or Sawtooth fish hatcheries or to one of
the many Salmon River tributaries to spawn. This is the time we
again see large numbers of anglers from throughout Idaho and
surrounding states in their own migration to the river for a
chance to catch one of these awesome fish.
Spring river conditions dictate how the spring fishing season
progresses. Ice jams can dominate the river corridor throughout
the winter. These ice jams, composed of hundreds of tons of
broken, angular ice, can, at times, completely block and dam
portions of the Salmon River. When the river is blocked, fish may
not be able to move upstream in the spring, and, depending on the
timing of the ice jam releases, this delay can affect the quality
of fishing upstream of North Fork.
Rain or early season melting can also make the river conditions
challenging for anglers.
The fish have really only one thing on their mind in spring -
spawning. If they have been delayed because of cold weather ice
jams or muddy water from snowmelt or rains, the fish can move
quickly from their winter staging areas to their spawning
locations. On such years, fishing can be slow and difficult. But
if late winter or early spring conditions are mild, fishing can be
good because river conditions remain very stable and clear for
The steelhead life history strategy is quite different from
Pacific salmon, such as Chinook or sockeye, which all die after
spawning. After spawning, some adult steelhead will begin
migrating back down-river in an attempt to reach the ocean again.
Before dam construction on the lower Snake and Columbia rivers,
some of these fish were able to make a repeat spawning run. But
repeat spawning is a rare today.
The eggs from fish that successfully spawn in local streams will
incubate throughout the spring, and the fry will typically emerge
in June and begin foraging for food. Juvenile steelhead will
remain in the upper Salmon River for one to five years before
migrating back to the ocean to complete their grueling life cycle.
