Bethany McLean, 34, is a senior writer at Fortune Magazine and co-author of "The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron." McLean's March 2001 article in Fortune titled, "Is Enron Overpriced?," was the first in a national publication to openly question the company's dealings. McLean graduated from Williams College in 1992 with a double major in math and English. She worked as an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs until 1995, when she joined Fortune as a reporter. She spoke with JournalismJobs.com about her coverage of the scandal.
JournalismJobs.com: What has been the reaction from other journalists to the recent documentary film about Enron that your stories and book spawned?
Bethany McLean: Honestly, I haven't heard that much from journalists other than the people at Fortune. A lot of people at Fortune have gone to see it. People, for most part, have been really supportive of it. They laugh when they see it, because it's odd to see one of your colleagues on the big screen. But people have made an effort and gone and seen it. The movie has gotten good reviews on the media side of things. But otherwise, I haven't heard that much from other journalists.
JournalismJobs.com: At what point during your early Enron reporting did you know you were onto something big?
Bethany McLean: I really didn't. Every step of the way, it surprised me. I fought myself a lot for, early on, not having sense to dig further. When I think back to that time, in early 2001, the idea that one of the largest companies in the country could be involved in fraud and be bankrupt - that wasn't conceivable. I had never seen that happen before. I knew something was wrong, I knew something didn't add up. But the idea that it would all collapse like this - it just wasn't conceivable. When I wrote the first story, I actually thought that I would write about them again. I kept my notes organized for a reason. But I never thought I would do it in this grand cultural theme that I ended up writing about. When the company went bankrupt again, it just went from bankrupt to cultural icon. The story of Enron leapt off the business pages and became a part of the national consciousness in a way that WorldCom and Tyco didn't. When it became a story that can make a movie and do well, then it's like, wow. So I was catching up to reality rather than other way around.
JournalismJobs.com: Did you ever think Enron coverage would become such an iconic story in business journalism? What do you think about the level of exposure the story has received?
Bethany McLean: I didn't. Certainly not when I wrote that first piece on Enron. At that time, no one cared. It wasn't like I wrote a story and got calls from other journalists, saying "Good job." I got a few calls, but it was a very underground type of thing - people in the business community mostly. Few other journalists e-mailed me. It wasn't like anybody cared. I didn't go on TV to talk about the story. So when people say, "Don't you want to work on a big story?" How do you know what's a big story? You just have to follow your instincts, report and see where the cards fall. But you don't know what will be a big story. It wasn't until nine months later that I had any idea of the scope and significance of this story.
And I hope people keep this at the front of their minds. It does tell the larger picture of what went wrong in corporate America. I don't think Enron is an isolated incident of people in a dark corner doing bad things. ... It was all a game to meet Wall Street expectations and keep their stock prices up. So many companies engaged in that behavior. With so many companies, their financial picture paints some mixture of reality and illusion. In Enron's case, it was more illusion than reality. In other companies, I hope it's more reality, but you have some illusion all of the time. There was this attitude that you do anything you can to meet Wall Street expectations, get your millions and get out. That short-term view of what business is is incredibly dangerous, and I hope Enron does stay front-in-mind for people. With talk about privatizing Social Security and people making decisions about the market for their financial future, it's important that people not be naïve about the way information travels and how people lie to you. In the 1990s, I think people were sold on the idea that if you are an individual investor, you can compete and you are on a level playing field with institutional investors, and it absolutely is not true.
JournalismJobs.com: Looking back, what would you change about how you reported that story?
Bethany McLean: I don't think I'd change that much about the original story, with the exception that I left out of it any mention of the partnerships that Andy Fastow ran, which later came to be a critical part of the story. Not because I didn't know. I had asked him about it.
But I think I was naïve about the corruption between accounting firms and a company's leaders and board of directors. I thought I was crazy to think anything was weird about them. I wish I hadn't been as naïve about that aspect of the story. And I think one of the faults of magazine journalists is this "hit me with your best shot" attitude - we do a big story and then move on to the next story. But newspaper journalists have to cover the story, day after day. I think you need an element of newspaper journalist in you. Maybe you don't move on, and you work more on the story in front of you. I wish I kept digging. I wish I stayed focused on Enron.
Though, there's a little bit of relief that comes with that as a magazine writer. That when you're done with the story, you're done with it. You get to put your notes in a dark corner and never look at them again. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's letting go too quickly.
JournalismJobs.com: The Enron scandal stories have given you somewhat of a celebrity status. How has that changed your life and work?
Bethany McLean: It does less than you might think. I still make phone calls to people and they say, "Stephanie?" "Daphne?" I always giggle when anyone says "Everyone knows you," because it's a very narrow part of the world. I think it's good when people know my name because they take me more seriously in some ways. I think it's probably helpful. I have a soft voice, so I don't come across as somebody who needs to be dealt with it. And I have noticed a little change when I call people and they're like "Stephanie" and "Daphne," and then they clearly do a Google search. And they call me back and their tone is a little bit different.
But I hope it doesn't change things that much. I have gotten a couple comments that "When you do stories, that you're just out to do another Enron." That's totally not the case. I'm there to do what the story is. If it's a positive story, then it's a positive story. I don't want to be the one-person hit squad. And even if I write about a controversial company, I want people to have the comfort that I will listen to both sides of the story and then write about them. But I don't want them to think that I will only write the most negative part of the story. I don't want to get that reputation.
JournalismJobs.com: What challenges do you face as a magazine reporter in the world of minute-by-minute news? How can you keep your stories relevant and still break new ground?
Bethany McLean: I think that's a really big challenge. Because you can't count on having information that's not widely out there. You have to be out there to supply context that, perhaps, daily breaking news can't do. You have to supply some thought that people supplying news on a minute-by-minute schedule can't do. In some cases, we have an advantage that we are able to write a story that daily journalists aren't even thinking about because they don't have the time to think about it. We might see something that the daily rush for news overlooks. Sometimes that allows us to be naïve about things, because we may think something is new and interesting, but really it's well known. Also I'm not a beat reporter, so I have to start from scratch. Sometimes that's an advantage because I see something in the picture that others don't. Other times, it's a huge hurdle to overcome.
JournalismJobs.com: Before becoming a reporter, you worked as an investment analyst on Wall Street for Goldman Sachs. What made you want to leave a high-paying job on Wall Street to go into magazine journalism? And how were you able to go from Wall Street to one of the top financial magazines with little journalism experience?
Bethany McLean: I have never been a person with a huge plan. I was on my way to business school as a third-year analyst at Goldman. And I just got this idea in my head that I wanted to be a business journalist. But there was not this big mission to be a magazine journalist. Frankly, no one would hire me. I had no clips, no experience. People were like, "yeah, right." I was willing to get a job sending faxes somewhere. Honestly, I got lucky and got a job at Fortune.
At that time, Fortune hired people as fact-checkers. So it was okay that I hadn't been a reporter before. They were just looking for someone who could calculate compound annual growth rate and read a balance sheet. So I really got lucky. Especially since I started Fortune in 1995 when we saw this explosion in business journalism. Even though my first stories were not well-written works of art, I got a second and third chance because the magazine needed copy. I think it's far more difficult for people today who are in my shoes. I see people coming in with the backgrounds they do now and I know I wouldn't get a job here today. But there was such a hunger for copy in the 1990s that I was able to get more chances than people are able to now.
JournalismJobs.com: But how did you come across Fortune of all publications?
Bethany McLean: The guy I was dating at the time, his father knew someone at Fortune. I said, "Why don't you send my resume there," and he's like, "yeah, right." But through the fact-checking door, I got in. So it was purely random. That's much harder to do today because Fortune doesn't hire anyone today just as fact-checkers. … And the people coming in today are writing for newspapers and winning awards, so they have lot more experience than I did.
JournalismJobs.com: What did you think of the quality of business journalism when you were an investment analyst? How has the last decade as a business reporter changed your view on that, if at all?
Bethany McLean: It's hard for me to judge what I thought of business journalism. I was so young and naïve. I went to a liberal arts school and never read The Wall Street Journal. I didn't have the knowledge to make an opinion about the world of business journalism. I definitely was surprised when I got to Fortune, about the emphasis of writing over understanding finance. Most journalists have a background in writing, and not a background in personal finance. The attitude has always been that you can teach someone business but you can't teach someone to write. I don't agree with that. I think you can understand numbers. I'm not a forensic accountant by any means, but it's not that complicated to get an understanding of how an income statement and balance sheet work. I think writing can come with practice as well. … When I first started working at Fortune, people would almost be proud of the fact they did not have the ability to do numbers. They'd just say they can call an analyst and get everything they need. I think there's much more of an understanding that you have to have a basic awareness of finance to do this job.
I think Enron probably helped people a lot. There's always been a real bias toward personalities and characters being the story, rather than numbers being the story. In some cases, numbers can be the story. Business is about people in the end, and it does come down to characters. But you can zero in on different aspects of the numbers and still tell a good story. You still have to look at the numbers, too. So I think in that way, the business has changed.
JournalismJobs.com: How do you top the Enron story? What's next for you?
Bethany McLean: I really, really try not to think that way, and obviously it's hard. Enron is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing - not just in writing a story that stands for so much, but also my luck when it was timed that we hit it when it began to slide. I'd like to say those were great skills, but it was a lot of luck. I think it's silly for me to look to top Enron, because the chances that another story like that will explode from the business pages like that, and I'm the one to do it, are pretty slim. … It's a dangerous way to think about things. It's really curiosity that leads you to good stories, not just the attitude that "I'm going to get a big story." If you approach it that way, you make stories into something that they aren't. You aren't being led by curiosity - you're being led in the wrong direction. I just try hard to work on things that are really interesting.
It's weird that if in 10 years, I'm still going to be Enron girl. That's terrifying. I have no illusions. If anybody knows my name now, it's going to be because of Enron. But I hope in 10 years I have done another good story where people say "Yeah, that was a good story. And she did Enron, too."

Audrey from Real Wetting peeing her swimsuit at the beach. This is a great wetting picture and movie set from Realwetting. Audrey is at the beach and enjoying the sun she needs to pee but is so relaxed that she doesn't want to get up to pee. What is a girl to do? After some squirming and some crotch grabbing she makes up her mind. Audrey looks around to see if anyone can see her and finds that no one is watching, she really needs to pee now. She gets up on her knees and starts to pee in her swimsuit and how sexy peeing in her swim suit at the beach. There are not many bikini peeing movies around, I am glad Audrey from real wetting has given us the pleasure of this swimsuit peeing.
Audrey releases her bulging bladder and what a great look as her piss explodes through the crotch of her bikini, she is even peeing on her beach mat. The crotch of her swim suit is soaked and dripping and I bet it would feel so great. She then lies down again with her piss soaked mat under her and her wet peed in bikini. What a sexy Real Wetting movie this is we have the bikini peeing pictures and if you want to see the swimsuit peeing movie visit real wetting.

So for those who haven't seen them I thought I would repost what must be a couple of my favorite peeing clips. The first one is Female Desperation And Pissing From Tiffany And Rebekah from over at Needapee
Tiffany is so desperate to pee she is hopping around and so desperate when she finally releases her piss it starts to spray out no acting just real Female desperation and pissing.
The second female desperation and pissing clip is from ineed2pee and is of Alice in this desperation and wetting clip Alice is so desperate to pee that she ends up peeing in her swimsuit. The sound of the pee flowing out of her swimsuit is a loud hiss so she was really suffering from female desperation and not just acting. I love real female desperation and ineed2pee seems to have a lot of real female desperation.
The story that accompanied the movie at ineed2pee is this

Well you have to feel sorry for the owner of Ineed2pee it seems that her server got hacked and all the information was wiped. She has spent the whole day getting it back and running for Us Female Desperation Fans. With out Ineed2pee I don't know what I and all the other pee desperation and panty pissing fans would do. As I have said before this has to be one of the best sites for pee desperation fans. I thought in celebration that i would repost my favorite ineed2pee movie.
Its of Alice pissing in her swimsuit , she totally loses control and the sound as the piss hitting the grass is great. If you missed it you can see it by clicking here.
If you also missed the preview movie of lots of pissing scenes that are available in the members area Click Here to watch it
But my other favorite is the spandex piss. Talk about desperate Poor Michele really does lose it and there is the fleeting chance that her breast may pop out in her desperate struggle to get her spandex tights off. Her breast doesn't pop out but it is a close call but before long she loses the battle against her desperate bladder
Sorry for all the people who have seen these desperation movies from ineed2pee before but all I can say is dam its good ineed2pee is back up and running and worth a re-run of these movies.

House of Homework Hell
The other day my six-year-old son, Jeff, came home from school a bit dejected. "What's wrong?" I asked as he turned his backpack upside down shaking a torrent of school papers onto the kitchen table.
The teacher, he explained, wouldn't give him his star sticker since he didn't turn in his reading log last week. "What?" I asked. "We read Charlotte's Web together last week. I remember seeing the paper come home with a red check mark on it."
He nodded, his mood brightening. "I'll remind her tomorrow," he said. Problem resolved. Or so I thought.
The following afternoon, he walked from the schoolyard with the same look on his face. "Did you talk to the teacher?" I asked apprehensively. "Did you remind her that you had read Charlotte's Web?"
"Yeah, I told her, but I'm not sure she heard me," his voice crackled. "All the other kids have all their stickers, but not me." Now I was really getting mad. You just don't mess with my kid's stickers!
These days, schools are demanding more from parents. Our children's learning comes with a larger chunk of shared responsibility between student and parent. My son's weekly reading logs are just one small reminder that my school days are far from over.
Although we have always read to our kids every night, now the school is mandating it. Each week, a sheet of paper—a reading log—is tucked inside my son's homework folders asking for the title and author of every book read during the week. Not only do I secretly resent being told that I have to read to my children (even though it's been a ritual since they were six months old), but now the school is requiring proof. In other words, it's my homework. On more than one occasion, I have sat at my kitchen desk on Monday morning, bleary-eyed and grumpy, filling out that darn log. "Hey," I'd yell. "Did you read Arthur's Family Vacation on Monday or Tuesday? And what was the name of the book you read last night?" Often I'd be met with silence. "I need a little help here!" That was usually enough to get every family member scrambling into the bedroom to hunt through piles of books shouting out names of titles. Now that's togetherness.
It just wasn't like this when I was a kid. When I went to grade school in the mid-1960s, I did my class work; I came home, and I did my homework. My parents rarely interfered in my schoolwork. If I had a question, I'd ask. If they knew the answer, they'd help. It's not that my parents didn't care. To the contrary, they did. They just trusted that I was doing my job, and the school was doing theirs. My folks mostly showed interest the old-fashioned way—each night before I went to bed, my mom would ask, "Did you do your homework?"
They reviewed my report card carefully and dutifully attended back-to-school night and the yearly parent-teacher conferences. My mom often volunteered to be class mother, brought in homemade cupcakes for class parties, and came on class trips with us, too. On graduation day from high school, my parents rewarded me with a party and a set of luggage.

Air Jordan XIV – Light Graphite – Midnight Navy – Black | New Images

We knew we were in for a grand finale when Michael Jordan decided to break out the Air Jordan XIV for the first time during Game 5 of the 1998 NBA Finals. We all know how that story ended; Michael had the ball at the top of the key, drove right, crossed back to his left, and hit a sweet jumper to give the Chicago Bulls a 1-point lead – one that would prove to be the deciding bucket for the series. As Michael walked around the court with six fingers held high, the Air Jordan XIV engraved its place in Jordan history, despite seeing just 72 minutes of action. In October, Jordan Brand will release a new colorway of the Air Jordan XIV in Light Graphite, Midnight Navy, and Black. It should remind you of previous Air Jordan colorways, like the OG Air Jordan XIII Flint and Air Jordan XIII Low in Black/Navy. We've got a new set of images for you below courtesy of air-randyhk, so check 'em out and let us know if these are a must-have for you.

Welcome to Fletcher Community School
Mission of APS and Fletcher Community School
Graduate every student with the choice to attend college without remediation. Prepare all students for the future by building a foundation that will allow them to be proficient in all disciplines.
Community Book Donation Event Benefits Fletcher Students
Students at Fletcher Community School are excited about reading, and thanks to a recent book donation event, they each have more literature to add to their collections.
Representatives from Greater Mission Initiative and No Room 4 failure were on hand to give away more than 1,000 books to students as part of the Open Book Initiative. The materials were made possible through contributions from various children's book publishers and other national partner organizations. GMI partners with schools serving children from low-income families to help empower students through reading.
"We were extremely proud of the results from our "Open Book Initiative," said Anthony Lawrence, executive director at GMI. "Child illiteracy is a big problem, and there's still much work to be done. But we look forward to continuing our efforts..."
Students chose from an array of books, including "The Son of Neptune," "Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation" and "The Lost Hero."

How will you spend your time and/or make a living between ages 60 and 100?
As improved medicine and machinery continue to expand our lifespans in the developed world, the current model in which we work until age 65 +/- and then "retire" seems sadly outdated. New questions begin to arise, though, when we reflect on how we will each make a living and how we will make a life. I am excited to see what kind of ideas you all come up with.
One particular question related to the model is this: if someone goes back to school to re-tool for a whole new career at, say, 50, will they get hired into career-track positions where they could work for 20 years?

Kay WalkerJul 15 2012: You poor sod! Did you get involved in a shared retirement community scheme that went down the gurgler? Paid a huge "deposit" and discover you didn't own anything because your funds were squandered? It's happening a lot in Australia and the children of retirement home residents are also very angry as there is nothing left for them to inherit! My dad died in a Salvation Army Retirement Hostel while I was trying to sell his house to pay the $45 000 "deposit"! I couldn't even raise the $8 000 required for his first year because I had just taken out a mortgage to buy my own home. My father finally raised the initial $8 000 by selling all his remaining assets but the money disappeared from his savings tin in his wardrobe at the Hostel in the time between when he died & the time & could travel there to organise his estate & funeral (2 days traveling across Australia). I hope you are OK- do you have a "decent" place to live? You look OK in your picture. You need some sort of class action to claim your rightful deserts. [[hugs]]

"What shall we do, what shall we do!" [Bilbo] cried. "Escaping goblins to be caught by wolves!" he said, and it became a proverb, though we now say "out of the frying-pan into the fire" in the same sort of uncomfortable situations.A trick for maintaining dramatic tension (and sometimes irony): place the heroes in great danger, and then have their escape land them squarely in even greater danger. Bob escapes from a sword-wielding maniac by hiding in a river—only to find out the river is full of hungry piranhas. Alice defeats a monster with fire—and now she has to escape from a burning building. The band of heroes scares away the opposing army by summoning a dragon—which turns around and begins attacking them. The permutations are endless. A subtrope of From Bad to Worse: this trope involves the solution of one problem causing a worse one, while From Bad To Worse doesn't even require any causal link between the initial problem and the getting worse. If you're in a pool of water with a bunch of jellyfish, and then someone releases sharks into the water, that's From Bad to Worse. If you're in a pool of water with a bunch of jellyfish, and in the act of climbing out you fall into a different pool with a bunch of sharks, that's Out Of The Frying Pan. Can overlap with Villainous Rescue or Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.

Alas....another shrimp kebab recipe down the drain. I agree with a previous review....how on earth could it have turned out so ordinary with all of the bold flavors?!?!? I'm at a loss, and won't be making this again.
Shrimp Sate with Pineapple Salsa
No Longer Registered Posted: 07/27/10
Princess222 Posted: 04/02/10
We loved this recipe! The salsa is great used as a dressing over salad. I marinated the shrimp for a couple hours in the lime, mint and spices so the shrimp were nicely tenderized. My husband who is picky about shrimp, loved this recipe. I'll be serving this for guests this summer. Very healthy and very delicious!
BiteSize Posted: 11/03/09
I really liked the shrimp. The mint sounds like an odd ingedient to use, but it was great. The mint did not over power anything. I started to make the salsa and I thought "what is this for?" I guess to go with the shrimp. The shrimp doesn't need it. I just put pineapple wedges on the skewers and that tured out great.
EMatthews Posted: 05/28/11
It was OK, but nothing to get too excited about. I doubt I will make this one again.
suzketo Posted: 01/09/14
Why would this come up first under a low carb search? Pineapple is the one of the highest carb fruits available. It also has honey which is also guaranteed to raise your blood sugar. The overall carb count appears fine, but I'm sure it has too many sugars. The serving size is what? Three(3) shrimp? It doesn't say. It sounds delicious, but you need to alter your low carb parameters.

This is a good recipe, but you have to be bold enough to try unexpected combinations of flavors. We liked the salsa, but some may be put off by the mixture of sweet and hot.

Lightning grapplers complete the circle
Lake Country Lutheran wrestling building tradition, hosting for first time
Before you even discuss the intensity of competition, the uniqueness of the individual spotlight, the propensity for injury or the complexity of the competition, first-time wrestlers have plenty of other things to overcome.
"The biggest hurdle is I'll hear, 'I can't do the uniform,' " Lake Country Lutheran wrestling coach Chris Irish said, referring to the wrestling singlet. "But when it comes down to it, kids can be afraid to fail. You can hide on the bench or the sideline or in the huddle in team sports. But in wrestling, it's all you; either you accomplished it or you lost it. People can see if you're outmatched."
For a program just getting of the ground, with virtually no experience and, at times, insufficient equipment, there are going to be moments when the Lightning are outmatched. It makes Irish's job difficult, to sell potential wrestlers on a sport they've never tried with rigors they've never faced. And yet, in its first year of full-fledged WIAA eligibility, the LCL wrestling program has found its batch of pioneers.
Sticking with it
Ben Young tried basketball first when he arrived at LCL but figured wrestling sounded like fun. It was a club program two years ago when Young, then a sophomore, gave it a shot.
"It looked like a great workout, which I loved," Young said. "It can be frustrating, but I understand if I lose, the other guy has had more experience than me, which makes them better than me. I rationalize it."
Young, who was honored at Senior Night on Jan. 23 when the Lightning hosted their third and final home meet of the season, is uncommon in his initial enthusiasm. Irish said many who begin in basketball - especially at a small school where numbers allow for all comers to participate - stay in the sport long enough past the point where they'd be interested in trying a new sport.
"It's such a unique animal of a sport," Irish said. "It's the hardest sport because of what it asks of a student. My biggest job is creating buy-in interest and making it what we do. It's uncharted waters for a lot of the kids. I find myself trying to convince young men that this is the best offseason football program you're going to have."
Irish admits his practices may have been too intense early, contributing to an atrophy in early participation numbers. He had 14 kids who began the season last year when it was still non-WIAA sanctioned at Lake Country Lutheran, a number that fell to eight by midseason. Five were slated to return. One moved away, and two of the remaining four - Young and sophomore James Kirk - elected to try wrestling again.
However, LCL partnered with Heritage Christian in a co-op this season, which brings two more wrestlers into the fold and also gives the program something it didn't have last year - a competition mat. For the first time, the Lightning could host matches this season.
"It's great to have that actual experience setting up the mats beforehand and calling it our home," Young said. "We have our own actual meets, instead of driving to Kenosha for everything. It's really nice to have it here."
Learn as you go
Lake Country Lutheran's current building opened in 2009, but the wrestling program is even newer, and the complex wasn't built with wrestling in mind. The grapplers started with no equipment.
"We were learning moves in a tiled hallway," Irish said. "You could only imagine how that could be, with no mats. We were able to secure some hand-me-down mats, so we got a space to actually wrestle. We'd do a lot of lifting and running."
This year, the "wrestling room" is a converted visitor's locker room, which was previously used as an art room.
"We have the equivalent of seven 10-foot circles to work with and padded walls," Irish said. "We get creative in how we practice."
Young, who wrestles at 195 pounds, has evolved quite nicely and holds a winning record heading into Saturday's regional at Dodgeland.
"This is one of the first sports where I get nervous for every match," he said. "Your winning is on your own back. It doesn't necessarily come easily to people. People are losing and seeing others winning, and they have to stick with it and keep improving. My goal is to keep encouraging and keep them coming to every practice."
Fledgling sports programs aren't new to LCL, a school with a rapidly evolving athletics portrait. The girls soccer team won a state title last year but had to borrow players from the softball team - another new program - to flesh out its roster for the postseason. Meanwhile, the football and basketball programs continue to rise in stature.
"I have a whole bunch of people to learn from; we have great coaches over here," Irish said. "It's my first time at the helm of a program, I've definitely learned a lot along the way."

Astier De Villatte's Holiday Twofer
There are certain parts of my beauty-heavy existence that my s.o. tolerates in our apartment, and others he's less excited about. My lipstick and skincare bounty—as long as it is contained to my office area—is fine by him; any semblance of excessively fragrant room sprays, diffusers, or candles is another story. Or so he thought before I introduced him to Astier de Villatte.The Parisian ceramics specialist and fine stationery purveyor started selling home fragrances in hand lotion, soap, incense, candle, and even eraser form four years ago when product designer Emilie Mazeaud joined founders Ivan Pericoli and Benoít Astier de Villatte and brought the perfuming services of famed nose Françoise Caron with her. Their collective scent library, which is noteworthy for its unique compositions that are never overbearing, includes a wide variety of different aromas that are each named for "the most magical places in the world," according to Mazeaud—like Kobe, the southeastern Japanese city that overlooks Osaka Bay and inspired the crystallized ginger, coriander root, and fig bougie that we like to burn in our house after it's been given a thorough clean. It's facing some stiff competition from ADV's latest releases, though, which include Marienbad, a green tea, cardamom, sandalwood, and white musk-tinged homage to the Czech spa town of the same name, and my new reigning favorite, Stockholm, a Scandinavian tribute that features fresh essences of aloe, clove, myrrh, and vetiver. My s.o. is traveling at the moment but will no doubt be pleased to find it burning when he returns home—once I've organized the makeup, clothes, and shoes that have traveled well beyond their designated areas since he's been gone, that is.—Celia Ellenberg

1) In honor of Henry D. Barron, of St. Croix Falls, Wis., judge of the eigth judicial circuit.
Formerly named Dallas, in honor of George Miflin Dallas, Vice President of the United States (1845-49). 2) "Judge H.D.
Barron told me the county was named after a Mr. Barron, a lumberman residing at Chippewa Falls but operating quite
heavily in what is now Barron Co. I don't think that he said this to be modest. He would have been more likely to claim
the distinction." - Nils P. Haugen

County History
British explorers first claimed this area and French explorers set up an early trading post at Rice Lake dealing with the Sioux Indians. It was claimed by the U.S. in 1787 as part of the Northwest Territory and later became part of the Territory of Wisconsin. This area was at that time part of Crawford County and in 1840 was annexed to St. Croix County. In 1859 Dallas County was established and it became Barron County in 1869. Named after a prominent Wisconsin pioneer, it is a surveyed county, that is, its borders are set up by survey rather than by natural boundaries.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 890 square miles (2,305 km²), of which, 863
square miles (2,235 km²) of it is land and 27 square miles (70 km²) of it (3.05%) is water.

Operations, 19731976
Natural disaster struck in midMarch 1973 when a fierce storm packing winds up to sixty miles per hour swept Lake Michigan and brought ten to twelvefoot waves crashing down on the national lakeshore. The severe beach erosion threatened to undermine nearly forty homes and sweep them into churning Lake Michigan, which had risen in recent years to record high levels. At one point, the lake advanced inland and sixtyfive feet of beach was lost. As the threeday storm grew steadily worse, area residents appealed to President Nixon for Federal intervention. Superintendent J. R. Whitehouse and Representative Earl Landgrebe requested an urgent meeting with Indiana Governor Edgar Whitcomb. Whitehouse agreed to permit the erection of a temporary retaining wall through the use of riprap (sections of concrete and rock). The debate on the revetment split the Advisory Commission down the middle. John Hillenbrand, a Commission member who also served as Chairman of Indiana's Natural Resources Commission, adamantly opposed the revetment. In retrospect, Whitehouse grew to conclude that although his decision to permit the revetment was mandated by public pressure, it ultimately was a mistake because it perpetuated the status quo: With Beverly Shores Island thus protected, the impetus to add it to the lakeshore diminished and the "temporary" revetment had the potential of becoming permanent. Whitehouse ultimately decided, however, that corrective measures to control the erosion and rebuild the beaches could begin later.
Governor Whitcomb mobilized the National Guard to render assistance, particularly in the area of Beverly Shores where a 3,800foot section of Lake Front Drive partially washed out. National guardsmen began erecting a threemile retaining wall along the devastated beachfront by using an abandoned house and roadway as building materials. Workers issued an appeal for more broken concrete or any other debris (including wrecked cars) for the massive revetment.
The Northeast Regional Office allocated $5,000 in emergency funds to assist Beverly Shores' efforts to combat the erosion. The combined labors helped to mitigate the erosion damage. No homes were lost, but seven residential septic systems were damaged and failed to meet State sanitary codes. The Park Service worked with county health authorities to ensure the repaired systems complied with code requirements. [2] Four houses, however, were beyond repair and the residents sought to sell them outright to the lakeshore. Assistant Secretary Nat Reed made the decision to buy them back and set a fair price for the hopelessly wrecked structures. [3]
Causes for the erosion included the rising lake level and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers harbor facility near Michigan City which altered the littoral drift. In a joint effort, the Service and Corps were engaged in studies to identify interim solutions. From fiscal 1973 funds, the Northeast Region allotted $91,000 to the Corps for engineering and design work for shoreline improvements. As an interim protection plan, the Corps called for a fiveyear replenishment and monitoring program estimated at $3.1 million. Preliminary estimates reached $13.5 million for the completion of shoreline protection and sand fill to restore the beaches between Michigan City and Beverly Shores. [4]
The land acquisition program, forecast to be phasedout by 1973, still operated with a skeleton staff of Land Acquisition Officer Frank Ucman, Realty Specialist Chandler Simpson, and Clerk Stenographer Irene Clayton. A Department of the Interior audit team conducted a threemonth investigation in 1973 as part of a Departmentwide review of compliance with P.L. 91646. The bill, passed in 1971, provided for relocation services to homeowners affected by Federal projects. Unfortunately, P.L. 91646 did not authorize additional funds for compliance. This, plus the move to expand the lakeshore and raise the ceiling on land acquisition, stalled in Congress awaiting scheduling of hearings. On March 21, 1973, the Department ordered a curtailment of all payment of claims under P.L. 91646 until funds became available for appraisals, surveys, and title work for all pending condemnation cases. The Indiana Dunes land acquisition program continued at a snail's pace. [5]
Another piece of legislation enacted in October 1972 impacted the Advisory Commission's operations. P.L. 92436 provided for governmental meetings to be opened to the public. The Commission, which previously held private sessions because it viewed its function as solely advisory to the Secretary, began to hold open meetings in accordance with the socalled "Sunshine" law. Following each meeting the public attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions.
The close relationship between Whitehouse and the Commission continued to develop. Whitehouse made it a practice to call together as many Commission members as possible for lunch every two weeks and to discuss on an informal basisso as not to violate the Sunshine lawhappenings in their lives, communities, businesses, and park areas. This friendly cooperation helped Whitehouse develop additional contacts to help resolve lakeshorerelated problems. Commission members Bill Lieber and John Hillenbrand used their connections "downstate" to help Whitehouse. Whitehouse soon entered on a firstname basis with the Director of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). In cultivating close relations with Indiana officials, Whitehouse soon began attending meetings in Indianapolis every four to six weeks at DNR or the Governor's Office. [6]
Nineteenseventythree was the "first extensive interpretive year for the Lakeshore." [7] Although Seasonal Interpreter Darryl Blink began giving programs in connection with the Dunes State Park, Goodfellow Camp, and other organized groups in 1971, for the first time an interpretive schedule for the daily visitor was in place. Visitation from the Blink tours was 612 in 1971 and 531 in 1972. With five seasonal interpreters presenting evening programs three days a week over a twomonth period, interpretive visitation rose to 2,571 in 1973. The Bailly Homestead also became accessible to visitors, but because of security reasons, only through rangerguided tours.
The Ranger Division, led by Chief Ranger Rodney Royce, split into two subdivisions: Resource Management and Visitor Protection and Visitor Services. Seasonal workers included nine for the former and seven for the latter. Royce also renegotiated area fire contracts with Porter, Ogden Dunes, and Beverly Shores. Services provided to the lakeshore came to $150 for the first hour and $100 each hour thereafter.
In Maintenance, Howard Culp oversaw a staff of two permanent, one career conditional, and twentythree seasonal employees. It was likewise subdivided into Roads and Trails and Buildings and Utilities and an interim maintenance area at Furnessville Road composed of three buildings served as a central headquarters. The Roads and Trails subdivision, composed of two fiveman crews, thoroughly cleaned five miles of beach each day and provided roadside cleanup and trimming in accord with lakeshore communities. The crews also constructed an interim use picnic area on Highway 12 near Tremont Road and three interim parking areas: two at Beverly Shores (Central Avenue and East State Park Road) and one at Mount Baldy. The Buildings and Utilities crew maintained five government quarters, the Tremont visitor center, and the interim maintenance area. Howard Culp, who served as project supervisor on the ongoing building demolition contract, also began planning the course of a horse trail in Tremont.
Maintenance crews also made progress on the lakeshore's trail system in 1973. Trails in the BaillyChellberg area were flagged in late spring and cleared by girl scout groups in early summer. The Ranger and Maintenance divisions completed the work by installing steps on hillsides and "log wheels" over stream crossings. At the visitor center, workers flagged the Black Oak Trail (now called the Calumet Dune Trail) with only slight clearing necessary. Some trailblazing took place in the Cowles Bog and Mount Baldy areas.
Implementation of the sign plan began in 1973 with Maintenance Divisionproduced signs which related only to interim park installations. Restricted access signs went up at the Bailly Homestead and beach access parking signs were placed at Mount Baldy and Central and State Park Roads in the Beverly Shores area. Boundary, traffic control, and park informational signs received from the Northeast Regional and Washington offices were also installed.
Ralph Iorio entered on duty as the Administrative Officer bringing the total staff to fiftythree (excluding the three in land acquisition): seven permanents, three careerconditionals, and fortythree seasonals.
Two studies, a Baseline Water Resource Study by the U.S. Geological Survey, and a Natural Resource Study by the University of Indiana Foundation, also began in 1973.
Two significant visits occurred in 1973. On September 25, former Senator Paul Douglas made his first visit to the national lakeshore since its authorization. On May 16, new National Park Service Director Ronald Walker* and his staff arrived for a brief visit. [8]
Effective in March 1974, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore came under the direction of the Midwest Regional Office, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, and led by Regional Director J. Leonard Volz. The new Regional alignment of the National Park Service resulted in the Midwest Region shifting its focus away from the Rocky Mountains to envelop the nation's heartland, including the Great Lakes States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The old Northeast Region subsequently became the MidAtlantic Region. Its northern tier shifted into the newly-established North Atlantic Region with headquarters in Boston. [9]
The administrative juggling met with no opposition. The Save the Dunes Council expressed optimism at the move. President Sylvia Troy informed the House Appropriations Committee, "Our initial contacts with the Regional staff have already revealed an increased interest in the dunes at the Regional level. We trust that with increased interest will also come increased sensitivity to the problems and potential of this valuable park." [10] Except for the de facto loss of George Palmer, the change pleased J. R. Whitehouse who commented:
Area politicians* were also pleased, commenting that now a more amenable and geographically compatible regional center oversaw the dunes. [12]
Before the Northeast Regional Advisory Committee (NRAC) underwent its own reorganization, the group met in Philadelphia on February 27 to tieup loose ends. Representing the Midwest Region, Deputy Regional Director Merrill D. "Dave" Beal agreed to the transfer of four Northeast Regional Advisory Committee members to a similar Midwest Region committee. One of the transferees was William Lieber, the Chairman of the Indiana Dunes Advisory Commission (an NRAC member since June 1972). Dave Beal and Bill Dean, Associate Regional Director for Cooperative Activities, told Lieber that Indiana Dunes ranked at the top of the Midwest Region's agenda. The meeting resulted in the appointment of George Palmer. Palmer, who had retired on June 30, 1973, but continued to serve in Philadelphia as a rehired annuitant, was appointed to serve as an advisor on dunesrelated issues in order to ease disruptions during the transition. In a final resolution, the Northeast Regional Advisory Committee recommended that Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and the two new Gateway parks in San Francisco and New York be developed before progressing with other urban recreational parks. [13]
Administration of the Chicago Field Office, headed by Assistant to the Regional Director Robert S. Chandler, also shifted to Omaha's supervision.* To reassure the Indiana Dunes Advisory Commission on the smooth transition and to introduce themselves, Beal, Dean, Chandler, and John Kawamoto, Associate Regional Director for Professional Services, attended the August 21 meeting. Introduced at the same session was the national lakeshore's new Assistant Superintendent, Don H. Castleberry (former Superintendent of Timpanogos Cave National Monument). Castleberry's appointment became effective on August 21 after the transfer of Stan Lock to the Washington Office; Lock's vacant position permitted Castleberry's coming on board. [14] Bringing Don Castleberry to Indiana Dunes as Assistant Superintendent indicated Midwest Region's commitment to the new area as well as a recognition that the national lakeshore had progressed beyond the "project" stage. [15]
The curtailment of the land acquisition program because of payment of relocation claims under P.L. 91646 continued in 1974. A move to complete the Indiana Dunes land acquisition program came under a Servicewide omnibus acquisition bill which cleared Congress in the fall. President Gerald R. Ford signed the measure raising the lakeshore's acquisition ceiling an additional $7,625,500 on October 26. Unfortunately, the bill did not include authorization for appropriations, a separate process to undertake.
While the program remained on hold, the incumbent land acquisition officer changed. Frank Ucman transferred to the Washington Office at midyear and Fred Meyer, from the Land Acquisition Office at Cape Cod National Seashore, took Ucman's place. Other position changes included the administrative officer (T. B. Taylor filled Ralph Iorio's position) and Rae Gilbert became the new administrative assistant. The shifting prompted the Advisory Commission to caution against frequent staff turnover, fearing that the loss of too many professionals experienced in urban park development would prove detrimental.
The interpretive program continued to expand during its second extensive year of activities. A new emphasis during the offseason saw interpreters focusing on school and other organized groups, stressing environmental education and helping to make the national lakeshore and the National Park Service better known in the community. The number of evening programs increased and the weekly fivehour hike through Cowles Bog was rescheduled to Saturday mornings in order to permit more participation. Instead of limiting visitor programs and activities to the summer months, the interpretive schedule spanned all twelve months.
The American Youth Hostel Center relocated to the Coronado Lodge in May 1974.
In maintenance, two additional government quarters were authorized bringing the total to seven. Increasing growth resulted in each maintenance subdivision establishing its own maintenance area. The laborers completed a four-mile interim horse trail in the Tremont area before the May 25 opening. The trail also featured a thirtycar capacity parking lot adjacent to U.S. 20. Another trail at the Bailly Homestead connected the landmark to the cemetery with a onemile loop.
At midyear, the U.S. Army announced plans to deactivate its NIKE missile base in the Bailly Unit. The Midwest Regional Office immediately began negotiations with the General Services Administration to arrange the transfer of the buildings and land to the National Park Service. The park staff began preparing plans justifying the use of the complex. [16] Assistant Superintendent Castleberry proposed that the facility be adapted to serve as the new administrative headquarters for the National Lakeshore. As the staff continued to grow, the Tremont visitor center became increasingly cramped and the large Army facility on Mineral Springs Road would be an ideal, centrally located, focal point from which to conduct Lakeshore operations. [17]
From November 4 to 8, an operations evaluation team visited the Lakeshore. The Midwest Region team was composed of Maintenance Generalist Thomas L. Weeks and Personnel Management Specialist Kenneth G. Schaefer from the Midwest Regional Office; Administrative Officer Charles D. Goode from Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Missouri; and Superintendent Hugh P. Beattie of Isle Royale National Park, Michigan. The team's report identified a number of problem areas, most of which concerned a staff preoccupied with land acquisition and site restoration problems, public relations pressures, and a paucity of facilities. Of primary concern was the lack of implementation of the Service's Management System, especially in regard to staff organization and supervision. The team recommended that Assistant Superintendent Castleberry assume full control of park operations as soon as possible in order to allow Superintendent Whitehouse to dedicate attention to external affairs as well as over-all direction of lakeshore development and operations. The operations evaluation report criticized the shortcircuiting of the communications process by the many direct contacts with citizens, advisory groups, and the Washington and Secretary's offices without input from the park or Region. The report stated, "It is incumbent on all to establish effective lines of communications which preclude the possibility of making erroneous assumptions or of making commitments or decisions without adequate communications with local park management, which may leave park management in a difficult position." In brief, the team recommended the following ten points be implemented:
J. R. Whitehouse concurred with the operations evaluation report and initiated steps to correct the deficiencies. He responded:
Whitehouse concluded by stating it was his decision to indoctrinate Assistant Superintendent Don Castleberry with operations from the superintendent's vantage point for three to four months and then gradually ease him into the "Chief of Operations" position. With this accomplished, Whitehouse believed his assistant superintendent would exercise a tighter management grip on lakeshore operations and thereby alleviate many of the problem areas. [20]

and continuing... I have no love at all for Herbert Hoover, who was ideologically (and in particular, economically) on the exact same page as Franklin Roosevelt, and who, by reversing the policies of Harding and Coolidge (who gave us the "roaring 20s"), gave us the Great Depression (which FDR just exacerbated, all phoney claims to the contrary notwithstanding). Harding cut spending by 50%, cut taxes by 40%, and turned the depression of 1920 into an economic boom. Hoover increased taxation and increased spending even more, and gave us the Great Depression. FDR doubled down on Hoover, and even with WWII, we were economically depressed until FDR was out of office.
