Balmoral School, 1968
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 0571
While chatting with some friends at the Historic Calgary Week volunteer recognition event, I was reminded that Balmoral School was celebrating its 100th anniversary. Actually, the school had planned its celebrations for June 21, but we all know what happened on that day, so it was postponed until the new school year. On Friday September 13 the celebration was held and the new clock faces unveiled. There is a great deal of history in that clock tower.
Built in 1913, Balmoral school was the last and most expensive of the nineteen sandstone schools built by the school board between 1892 and 1914. The sandstone building boom ended with the onset of World War I. After the war many of the artisans who worked the stone had returned to their homes in Scotland. Other materials were available at a reasonable cost, so no more sandstone schools were built.
When it opened, Balmoral was an elementary school, with the Crescent Heights Collegiate sharing the building. William Aberhart was principle of Crescent Heights. The High School moved to its own building in 1929.
The defining characteristic of Balmoral School is its clock tower. It has stood blank-faced since the school was completed. Stories about the clock-that-never-was abound. A favourite is that the works for the clock were shipped to Canada on the Titanic. It's a good story, except the Titanic was sunk in 1912, a year before the school was built. The true story is that, as war approached and the boom ended, there was no money for a clock for the school. Over the years different groups have tried to remedy the situation, but fundraising is a difficult thing and there was never enough money raised. There was even a song written about it:
Old clock tower overhead,Still no clock when we go to bedNo clock wakes us in the mornNo clock since our school was born
Finally, a corporate donor, BP Energy, offered money to pay for a clock for the tower. Sadly, the years had taken their toll on the tower and to bring it up to a state where it could hold the clock would cost over 100,000 dollars. As a compromise, clock faces, without working mechanisms, were installed to fill in the painted wood faces. They indicate 4:05, which was the time of the end-of-school bell when the school first opened.

I seem to be obsessed with water these days. Or maybe it's a normal reaction to betrayal by your rivers. Possibly not a healthy obsession, but I am going to write one more water-related post and then I will stop, promise. What caught my attention this week was the closure of the Harvie Passage, the man-made rapids designed to make the area around the weir safer for experienced paddlers (although they still strongly recommend that novices and folks in rubber rafts portage around the rapids) Harvie Passage is closed because the mighty Bow has rearranged the area and repairs need to be made before it is safe for use.
I remember going to a meeting where the plans for Harvie Passage were explained. It seemed like such an innovative way to deal with the "drowning machine" as the weir was known at the time. The building of two channels, designed to enhance the experience of the Bow, opened up that area of the river and allowed for enthusiasts to paddle without portage.
Growing up on the Bow, I knew the weir was there, but it wasn't until much later in my life that I knew, first what a weir was exactly and second, why it was built. It may not seem like it this year, but the area in which we sit was considered by the early explorer John Palliser to be essentially a desert and not suitable for settlement unless irrigation could be provided. That section, still known as the Palliser Triangle, wasn't even considered good enough to give away to homesteaders so it was taken out of the homestead scheme.
When the CPR came to claim their alternate sections of arable land as payment for building the railway, they also looked at the Palliser Triangle. They had just built a railway from coast to coast. Irrigating the prairie "desert" (the largest irrigation project in North America) would be a piece of cake by comparison and could increase their profits enormously. It was to this end that the weir was built, starting in 1904. This diversion would send water into a canal to send it on its way to the arid lands to the north and east. The Main Canal carried Bow River water to the Reservoir #1, or, as we call it today, Chestermere Lake (that was news to me too).
The weir was always a dangerous spot. A brief search through the old newspapers turns up many accounts of people drowning at that spot. Warning signs and buoys didn't stop people from attempting to "shoot the rapids." The idea of turning such a deadly, but necessary, area of the Bow into an attraction, was an inspired one, and I hope all will be well with Harvie Passage in the future.
We have some fascinating material on the history of the Western Irrigation District including Flow Beyond the Weir , which is the history of the Western Irrigation District, and some of the original reports and conference proceedings of the Western Canada Irrigation Association. Drop in to the Local History room at the Central Library and have a look.

Swimming in Elbow Park, ca 1940s (?)
Postcards from the Past, PC 190
Finally it is summer! Yay, just in time for fall. I was looking for a postcard to illustrate something about Elbow Park and I happened across this one that shows people swimming in the Elbow River. It was also posted as a nice summertime picture for Photo Fridays on our Facebook page. This got me to thinking about one of the best things about living at the confluence of two rivers – we have awesome swimming holes.
If any of you have heard Harry Sander's list of 100 Awesome Things about Calgary, you will have heard about the rope swing on the Elbow River in what is now Lindsay Park. Well, back in the olden days, when I was a kid, there was no development in Lindsay Park, it was just waste ground owned by the city and the CNR. That made it a great hiding place for us to play hookey on a warm summer day (or a cold winter day, we didn't need much of an excuse to duck school). We used to swing on the rope swing and drag our feet in the swimmin' hole, sort of an inlet in the already shallow Elbow River. The more adventurous of us would drop in to the water and spend the rest of the afternoon lying on the bank in the sun trying to dry out our blue jeans. That was a really good excuse not to go back to class.

Postcards from the Past, PC 960
One of my other favourite places, and not just to swim, was Bowness Park. The company my dad worked for used to have a family picnic there every year. We got to ride on the rides and boat around the lagoon and swim in the kiddies pool. While not exactly a swimmin' hole, it was a great place to spend a hot summer day.
The wading pond at Riley Park was a kind of swimming hole as well. Originally it was just a mud-bottomed slough (familiar to those of us who grew up on the prairies as the place where the cows drink and the ducks float). By the time I was old enough to paddle in the pool, it had been cemented and a lovely clump of willows planted in the middle. It is still a favourite with families in Calgary – my son loved to paddle in the pool when he was a baby.
Pool at Riley Park, prior to 1930
There were other excursions as well. When we were older we would ride our bikes out to Twin Bridges near the YMCA Camp and wander around in the silty river bottom. When we got our drivers' licenses we'd pack up the car with towels and beer and dogs and spend the day and the evening hanging out and swimming in the river, until the RCMP whooshed us away and sent us all home.
Our junior high school used to hold its summer field day at Glenmore Park, and when we could shake off the chaperones (our moms and teachers) we would sneak a dip in the reservoir. Swimming in the city's drinking water was not, apparently, limited to sneaky kids. Before the Glenmore Reservoir was built, there was a city reservoir roughly where Richmond Green is now. Militia units trained in the surrounding park and the soldiers were known to cool off after a long day of training in the reservoir, much to the dismay of the medical officers.
With the recent uprising of our peaceful rivers, it would be best to check on conditions before you try to take a dip in any of Calgary's swimmin' holes. But while you're reminiscing, why not post your swimmin' hole story in the comments section? We'd love to hear it.
Cover page for Calgary, District 4, 1921 Census of Canada
Courtesy Library and Archives Canada
Since we're already on a census theme, I am overjoyed to announce that the 1921 Census for Canada was released by Statistics Canada to Library and Archives Canada earlier this month and the images are now available on Ancestry Library Edition. There is no name index as of yet, but Ancestry is hard at work trying to get all 8.8 million names indexed. This census has been eagerly awaited by genealogists. Given the wrangling required to get the 1911 census released, we weren't sure we were ever going to see this one. For many genealogists, this may be the first census on which we can find our parents or grandparents. I know it is going to answer any number of questions for me once I can locate my mom's mom and her family.
I had a boo 'round Ancestry this afternoon and had a bit of a time finding where they had stashed the images. Because they are not indexed, the records don't show up in a search or in the card catalogue. But nothing will stand in the way of a genealogist on a quest. The way I found them (thanks to my colleague for assisting) was to log into AncestryLE, hit the Search button at the top of the page and then choose Explore by location in the middle of the page. Then I selected 'Canada and then Alberta. You can choose any province except for Newfoundland, which wasn't a province in 1921. Once you've selected your province, you will see a list of record types. Census and Voters Lists are the first category but the 1921 is not listed. Select View other… and you will see the 1921 Census at the bottom of the list. You can monitor progress on indexing by looking at the number to the right of the heading. Right now, there is a zero beside it. As indexing is done, the numbers should increase.
Once you've clicked on the link for the 1921 census you will see a box to the right labeled Browse this collection (see below).
Select your province and go wild. You can actually do this from home—check out Library and Archives Canada's information page for a link—but to use indexing, once it is done, you will need to have an Ancestry subscription or use your library card for free, in-library access to Ancestry Library Edition. The images are great, especially compared to those of the 1911 Census, and the names are very easy to read. Have fun!

And here is a reminder for those of you with Heritage Homes which may have been damaged in the floods, there is another information session being held tomorrow night, August 15, at Christ Church, Elbow Park, 3602 8th Street SE. You may have seen one of the presenters, Eileen Fletcher, on the Global Morning News talking about these sessions. There will also be a drop in session from 4-8 p.m. at the same location. You can find out more about this at the City of Calgary's website and at the Calgary Heritage Initiatives website.
Elbow Park, Calgary, 1940s
Elbow Park School
From the School Website
The beautiful old Elbow Park School has been in the news recently. It looks like damage to the building was quite extensive and there is some question as to its future. Right now, it appears that the wings on either side of the main building have been undermined and are sinking. They are pulling away from the main part of the building and causing cracks and other structural issues. The CBE is currently deciding whether to repair the school or build a new one. The Minister of Education has pledged to do as much as possible to save as much of the historic school as possible. For the next two years, students from the Elbow Park will be in a modular school being set up on the grounds of Earl Grey School.
Elbow Park School was originally a cottage school, which was a two storey building as opposed to the bungalow schools of four rooms in a single storey. In 1917 the cottage building was moved to 3640 7 Street and in 1919 two more rooms were added. In 1960 the building was still in use for shop and home economics classes for Rideau Park students. In 1962 this enhanced cottage school became the home of Tweedsmuir School for Girls.
In 1925 a bylaw was approved by an overwhelming majority to spend 100,000 dollars on a new school in Elbow Park. The Parents Association lobbied hard as they felt their existing school was too small, badly ventilated, poorly heated and a firetrap due to its open central staircase.
William Branton, Calgary School Board architect and building superintendent, with consulting architect R.P Blakey, designed the school. The cornerstone was laid on March 27, 1926, by F.S. Selwood, Liberal MLA and D.S. Moffat, City Solicitor. To mark the opening on November 26, 1926, a bridge and whist tournament was held, followed by refreshments.
Elbow Park was the first brick school in Calgary. The assembly hall, once the gym, and currently in use as the library, resembled a typical Old Country chapel. The papers said: "The walls are being artistically finished with a dappled light brown tint. The building is ultra-modern in every respect. "
Our fingers are crossed that this old beauty can be saved. The Calgary Heritage Initiative Society will have updates on their forums, which can be accessed here.

It has been a trying time, hasn't it? Our beautiful rivers turned ugly on us. We knew they were fickle – we'd seen evidence of it in the past (see above) but somehow living through it and seeing the aftermath makes it different. We were particularly hard hit here at the Central Library. As I write this, we are still without power, which means our IT centre is without power, which means we have no computers. I started at the library before there were computers, when dinosaurs were still roaming the earth, but I realize I have become very reliant on the availability of online resources.
In the old days we had a Recordak machine – this would take a photo of the book card and the library card together and this would be developed as microfilm. By the time I was doing circulation we actually had a computer system in place, but there was no online card catalog – we were still using the same old card catalogue and a new, updated version on microfiche. We were unable to find out if a book was on the shelf or not. If it was there, great, if not, well...

Then we launched the S.S. OPAC (online public access catalogue). We got t-shirts and had big parties because this was a revolutionary development for us. We could find out if books were in our system, if they were checked in or signed out and we could also place holds that would be caught the instant a book was returned. It made using the library so much more convenient. For the first little while, we couldn't use the catalogue from home, but that didn't matter much, because so few of us had internet access and what we had was glacially slow. But we kept developing our technology to make life for library customers simpler and quicker.

Now, we are back to square one – maybe even further back. I would have liked a Recordak machine this week. It would have been far easier than recording each transaction manually. That aside, sitting here, in the branch named for our first Head Librarian, I have come to realize that the library is still the same place that he envisioned. It is safe and welcoming. Customers have come in with needs as diverse as a place to wash their hands after mucking out basements in Elbow Park and the need to find some diversion. We have provided a place for people whose homes are still without power to charging their telephones and laptops and a place for folks just needing to see a smiling face and an indication that some things are still OK. Alexander would be proud.

Elveden House under construction, 1960
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection AJ 4306
I pass it every day on my way to work. It was part of my childhood, being fairly close to where my father worked, and I never knew anything about it. But as I was glancing out of the C-Train window, I noticed the beautiful green panels on the exterior of the building and then checked out the names, Elveden, Guinness and Iveagh. I thought I'd seen Iveagh House in Dublin. What was the connection with the Guinness family, whose products I enjoy every time I travel to visit our family in the Emerald Isle? Seemed like something I should know so I poked around a bit to find out just what was going on.
We have the photo, above, of Elveden house under construction. This is from the Alison Jackson collection (which can be viewed on our digital library). This is usually my first stop when I am looking for building information, as we have put information from the various newspaper articles we have published over the years, as well as other information we have gleaned from various sources. What I found out was that Elveden house was the first skyscraper in Calgary, built in 1959-60 at a cost of 5 million dollars and rising to 20 storeys. Until that time, buildings had been limited by law to 12 storeys in height. The owner of the building was a Guinness subsidiary, British Pacific Building Ltd, which partly explains the Irish allusions. The company built extensively in Canada, one of its projects was the Lions Gate Bridge.
On October 14, 1960, Viscount Elveden (Arthur Francis Benjamin Guinness, the grandson of the Earl of Iveagh – there are all my answers regarding names) officiated at the cornerstone laying ceremony for the main tower. Mayor Hays placed a box of records in the stone which included the Guinness Book of Records, an architect's drawing of Elveden House, pictures of Calgary, coins, local newspapers and magazines and a couple of bottles of Guinness. Hays called the building a landmark that would be "distinctly visible mark on Calgary's skyline." Motifs of the hexagon, which I noticed on the panels on the façade of the building, are repeated throughout the building as are harps and angels, which represent the Irish source of the Guinness fortune. Rumours were flying when the Earl of Iveagh visited Canada in 1949 that the building project they would undertake would be a Guinness brewery, which would have been great. But instead they chose to put up office towers. I found some newspaper clippings in our files which were written as construction was underway. The descriptions of the amenities of the building sound very cutting edge for the time. For example, workspaces were flexible and the glass on the south side was tinted, to allow natural light into all the offices. In addition, 70% of the materials used to build the structure were Canadian made.
Two other towers were built over the next few years; Iveagh House (called the British American Oil Building for its tenant) which went up in 1960-61 and Guinness House, which was built in 1964. Among the clippings was the information I was dying to learn – what is the correct pronunciation of Elveden? An equally curious reader posed this question to the Calgary Herald in 1962 and their sleuthing turned up the pronunciation "Elden" in one of those weird quirks of pronunciation, the likes of which have given us "wustershire" sauce. Apparently, the pronunciation "elvden" is OK but "elVEEden" is just not on. Who knew?

I was doing a bit of research for a customer on a hospital in Calgary that I had no idea had existed. A little digging turned up the bit of information the customer needed, but in the process I discovered a whole whack of hospitals that had existed in Calgary that I had not heard of. The big hospitals are well documented; we have tons of information on the General and the Holy Cross as well as the newer hospitals such as the Foothills and the Lougheed. But what I didn't realize was that there were smaller hospitals and hospital units scattered throughout the city.
I suppose it's a bit of a cliché to say that things were different at the turn of the 20th century, but sometimes I'm not sure I realize just how different. I am sometimes shocked as I go through early newspapers at the things I find.
One that I find particularly unsettling is the advertising of children for adoption – I still can't wrap my head around that one. The other is the prevalence of disease. I suppose we know, intellectually, that the city would not have been a clean place, that there were no antibiotics and that water wasn't always clean. In many cases, the response to illness was to isolate the infectious person – that was the case with smallpox, tuberculosis and typhoid, for example. As late as 1912, hospitals had to turn away people with contagious diseases, as there wasn't sufficient isolation space for them.
The hospital I was looking at was built in response to the need for more isolation units. The land was purchased in 1913 with plans to build a smallpox isolation hospital and a typhoid and/or tuberculosis hospital. The Mount View Hospital and its neighbour, the smallpox hospital, were built on 16th Avenue NE in 1914. Shortly after it opened, a fire broke out in the linen room. The intrepid "lady superintendent" immediately responded, only to have the fire pump break. Not to be so easily defeated, she organized a bucket brigade and had the flames doused by the time the firemen arrived.
By 1916 Mount View was housing returned soldiers who were suffering from TB. There was a bit of a scandal in 1917 when the number of eggs given to the patients was cut back. Apparently the treatment for TB was as much milk and eggs (often raw) that a patient could hold. The reduction provoked an outcry and sparked some very interesting letters to the editor. To get to the nub of the matter, the Calgary Daily Herald launched an investigation and found that the treatment of patients in the hospital was up to and even surpassed treatment in other sanitaria. The patients were fed very well, but since more recent research had proved that an unlimited diet of milk and eggs was not necessarily the best, the cut to the diet was reasonable. The reporter also found that several patients were being accommodated on the newly built porch (this was November, and part of the treatment for TB was exposure to cold, fresh air) and others were accommodated in tents on the site. There were also three padded rooms in the basement for "mentally deranged" patients. (CDH Nov 3 1917, p12)
By the 20s Mount View had become a home for delinquent girls, run by the United Church. I'm not sure what constituted delinquency, but the home stayed open until 1958.

The telling of Calgary's history tends to focus on the ranchers and oilmen, and establishments that they represented. A lot of history gets overlooked and very often these hidden histories tell us more about ourselves than mainstream history does. Lucky for us, historians are nosy folk, and what was hidden is increasingly being exposed.
Our next Heritage Matters program will do just that. Kevin Allen, who is part of the Gay Calgary Research Project, will present Invisible People and Places in 1950s and 1960s Calgary May 3rd at the Central Library, uncovering the history of Calgary's gay and lesbian community as it struggled to find its place in the post-war city.
Young people today may be shocked to learn that until 1969 it was actually illegal to "engage in homosexual activity." Doing so could land a person in prison. Even when the government changed the laws, people with "different" sexual orientations were still the victims of harassment and violence. For these reasons, among others, the history of this segment of our society has been driven underground. Kevin and his colleagues are working to change that. You can see more of the project on their website.
Heritage Matters is presented by the Calgary Heritage Authority, The City of Calgary Land Use Planning and Policy and the Calgary Public Library. It is going to be a very popular presentation, so make sure you register either online, by telephone at 403-260-2620 or in person at your local library branch.
Kevin is also going to be hosting a Jane's Walk the very next day, May 4. He will be conducting a tour of the Beltline area, looking at sites that were significant to the gay and lesbian community in the 1960s and 70s.
McHugh House, 110 18 Avenue SW, taken in 1966
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 94-01
You know how it is – when you see something every day, you don't necessarily "see" it anymore. This was true for me of the McHugh house (which I never knew by that name, we always called it the Nun's House because there seemed to be a lot of nun's coming and going) I looked at that house nearly every day for the three years I went to high school. What I knew about it was it was surrounded by trees and you didn't dare park in the driveway. That was it. Now I see that it is coming under threat of demolition. That makes me sad. This beautiful little house is one of the oldest residences in the city. It is a beautiful example of the Queen Anne Revival style (the turret gives it away) a style which is quite rare here. And its history is deeply entrenched in the history of the Mission area and the Catholics who settled there.
The house was built by Frank McHugh, in 1896, on land that Father Lacombe acquired to establish a Catholic mission. The two quarter sections Lacombe was given are bounded by what is now 17th Avenue on the north and 4th Street to the west. Because the language of most of the population (Oblates from Quebec) and the traders (Métis) was French, that was the language of the settlers that were drawn to the area. Most prominent were the Rouleau brothers, a doctor and a lawyer. In 1899, the area was incorporated as the village of Rouleauville. In 1907 the city annexed Rouleaville and it was rechristened Mission.
The Mission area is still dominated by the Catholic presence. The Cathedral and Convent, the Old Holy Cross Hospital, which was once run by the Grey Nuns, the Catholic Schools, St. Mary's, St Monica and St Martin des Porres and the old church hall, which was turned into a railway station, are all reminders of the role of the Church in the development of early Calgary. Heck, they were here before the railway. They met the Mounties as they arrived in the area.
The McHugh's sold the house in the 20s and it remained a residence until the Congregation of the Brothers of our Lady of Lourdes purchased it in the 1960s and ran it as one of the city's first homes for troubled youth. It has served as the Don Bosco Home, the Religious Education Centre, the home of the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society and as the Elizabeth House, a home for young expectant mothers. The house is in need of major renovations but the Catholic Church is morally opposed to taking money raised by gaming, as would be the case if they were to apply for heritage resource assistance. The City and Province are both talking to the Diocese to find a solution that fits everyone's needs so, although the application for demolition has been filed, it is not a done deal yet.
You can read about the history of Rouleaville/Mission and the McHugh family in our Local History room and on the City of Calgary's Discover Historic Calgary website. You can keep track of the developments in the McHugh house story by following the Calgary Heritage Initiative Society's Blog and Watch List

ADD & ADHD Health Center
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: What Is ADHD?
What is the treatment for ADHD?
ADHD cannot be cured. But many of the symptoms that interfere with functioning and cause distress can be controlled. Treatment for ADHD often includes a combination of medication and various psychosocial therapies.
Medication: Certain medications called stimulants may be used to help control hyperactivity and impulsive behavior and increase attention span. Commonly used stimulants include:
- Concerta
- Dexedrine
- Focalin
- Metadate
- Methylin
- Ritalin
- Vyvanse
- Adderall
- Daytrana
- QuillivantXR
Sometimes stimulant drugs have worrisome side effects for children or may be inappropriate if there is untreated drug abuse. In that case, nonstimulant medications such as Intuniv or Strattera may be prescribed for children with ADHD who are older than 6.
Psychosocial therapies: These are treatment approaches that focus on the behavioral, psychological, social, and work/school problems associated with the illness. Psychosocial therapies that may be used for ADHD include:
- Special education: Special education is a type of education that is structured to meet a child's unique educational needs. Children with ADHD generally benefit most from a highly structured environment and use of routines.
- Behavior modification: Behavior modification includes strategies for supporting good behavior and decreasing a child's problem behavior.
- Psychotherapy (counseling): Psychotherapy can help a child or adult with ADHD learn better ways to handle their emotions and frustration. It can also help improve their self-esteem. Counseling may help family members better understand the child or adult with ADHD.
- Social skills training: Social skills training can help a child learn new behaviors, such as taking turns and sharing. This will enable the child to better function in social situations.
- Support groups: Support groups are generally made up of people with similar problems and needs. This can help with acceptance and support. Groups also can provide a forum for learning more about a disorder and the latest approaches to treatment. These groups are helpful for adults with ADHD or parents of children with ADHD.
For in depth information, see WebMD's ADHD Treatment.
What is the outlook for children and adults with ADHD?
It is very important for children and adults with symptoms of ADHD to seek professional care. Without treatment, ADHD can interfere with a child's performance in school as well as the child's ability to make and keep friends. This can have a negative impact on the child's self-esteem.
In addition, children with ADHD are at risk for developing conduct disorder, depression, drug abuse problems, or an anxiety disorder. They are also more likely to have a learning disorder. Teens with ADHD are at greater risk for car accidents, pregnancy, and tobacco and alcohol use. Adults with ADHD have difficulty with time management, employment, and relationships.
But, when treated, most people with ADHD -- between 70% and 80% -- experience at least some relief of symptoms. Many of the symptoms of ADHD diminish by early adulthood. However, up to 50% of people with ADHD as children continue to have problems as adults.

It's time for Round 2. I've eliminated the two options that were never actually in the running (sorry, hipsters).
X, Y, or Z?
(Yes: X is a dark blue frame, Y is a greenish tortoise shell, Z is all green.)
Let the voting begin. (Click on the pics to enlarge them.)
I've decided to buy two frames and I've already made up my mind about one of them. Y'all can break the tie for the second.
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?
While in Pittsburgh I somehow managed to scratch the shit out of the right lens on my glasses that I've loved for the last 3 years, and so it's now time for a new pair.
Unfortunately, the oval-style that I've loved forever is no longer in vogue and the selection is mediocre at best; rather than settle for something that's only slightly oval, I figure it's time for a change. These seem like a pretty fair compromise between what I've always worn and even-bolder (read: uglier-on-my-round-face) big black rectangles.

Most of the mapped area lies in the Sacramento section of the Basin and Range physiographic province as defined by Fenneman (1931, p. 393-395), but the relatively low area southeast of the Reef Escarpment is a part of the Pecos section of the Great Plains province (Fenneman, 1931, p. 47-50). Throughout the area the youthful to mature topography is directly related to the structure and character of the underlying rocks, but in places the topography may be partly controlled by an old superimposed drainage system. An extensive limestone cavern system that was developed during an earlier erosion cycle has been partly exhumed by the modern drainage system.
The Guadalupe Mountains are a moderately dissected plateau which is gently inclined to the northeast. The inclination results from the regional dip of the rocks. The west margin of the mountains is formed by the Big Dog Canyon and Shattuck Valley fault scarps, whereas the northeast margin is formed by the dip slope on the Huapache flexure. The southeast edge of the mountains is marked by the Reef Escarpment, held up by the resistant Capitan Limestone.
The topography of the Dog Canyon-Brokeoff Mountains area is controlled primarily by faults and folds. Big Dog Canyon is a graben. Upper Dog Canyon and Shattuck Valley are, in effect, synclinal grabens, whereas the Brokeoff Mountains are basically an anticlinal horst.
Seven Rivers Embayment (fig. 1) is a topographic depression controlled by structure and differential erosion. On the west is the Huapache monocline defining the margin of the Guadalupe Mountains. On the southeast and east are the Hess Hills, Azotea Mesa, and Seven Rivers Hills (fig. 1), all capped by dolomite tongues in the evaporite facies of the Seven Rivers Formation. North and west of those hills, where dolomite tongues were thin and scarce, the Seven Rivers Formation and much of the relatively nonresistant Queen Formation have been removed by erosion, leaving a topographic embayment.
The relatively low terrain of the Pecos section southeast of the mountains is carved from the easily eroded evaporites of the Ochoa Series. The Reef Escarpment rises above the plains primarily because of its greater resistance to erosion.
The drainage pattern in the mapped area is inherited in part from an ancestral drainage system, and like the topography, is closely controlled by the structure and the resistance to erosion of the surface bedrock. The ancestral drainage system was probably established early in Tertiary time after regional uplift, slight tilting to the northeast, and Laramide folding of the rocks adjacent to the Capitan Limestone.
Most of the major northeastward-flowing streams such as Black River, and those in Last Chance and Dark Canyons, and Rocky Arroyo, probably originated early in Tertiary time. Another consequent Tertiary stream, here called Walnut Creek, probably flowed northeastward along the axis of Walnut Canyon syncline between Dark Canyon and Black River.
Following uplift of the Guadalupe-Delaware Mountains block probably in late Pliocene or early Pleistocene time, soft and soluble rocks southeast of the Capitan Limestone were quickly eroded and the Reef Escarpment was exhumed. Headward erosion of consequent streams flowing off the Reef Escarpment then cut into the old Walnut Creek, which trended northeastward parallel to the reef, and diverted the stream flow southeastward at many points. West Slaughter and South Rattlesnake Canyons and the upper ends of Walnut and Wood Canyons were established by old Walnut Creek. Meanders that had developed in the mature older streams were incised during the uplift of the mountains to produce such features as the Serpentine Bends of Dark Canyon (fig. 26). Thus, the dendritic drainage pattern and meanders in the mountains from Dark Canyon northwestward probably are inherited also from the early Tertiary drainage system. To the southeast the Tertiary drainage has been largely destroyed by headward erosion of drainage off the Reef Escarpment. The sharp westward bends near the heads of many of the smaller drainage courses flowing off the Reef Escarpment, such as at Calamity Cove and Lefthook and Nuevo Canyons, are apparently controlled by the joint system parallel to the escarpment.
Except for Black River, which may follow the approximate course of an early Tertiary stream, most of the other drainage courses in the area are directly or indirectly controlled by the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene structure of the region. This is particularly evident in the Dog Canyon-Brokeoff Mountain area where most major drainage courses follow synclinal axes, grabens, faults, and joints, and the tributaries are resequent drainage courses normal to fault scarps. A major exception is an obsequent tributary of Upper Dog Canyon which has cut through El Paso Ridge at El Paso Gap to capture the Shattuck Valley drainage.
In the Castile Formation in the southeastern part of the area, east-northeastward-draining stream courses, such as Hay Hollow and Cottonwood Draw, are apparently consequent streams following the regional dip.
The drainage courses between the Guadalupe Mountains and Black River, those draining into the Salt Flat, and some of those in the Seven Rivers Embayment are typical arid-climate bajada- and pediment-forming washes.
Nearly all the stream courses are dry except after heavy rains, and the only perennial streams are in stretches of certain drainage courses below large springs.
Except for about an 8-mile stretch beginning about 2 miles below the discharge of Rattlesnake Spring, Black River flows perennially from near Bottomless Lakes to its confluence with the Pecos River outside the mapped area. A 3-mile stretch of nearly constant spring-fed streamflow is present in Dark Canyon above X-Bar Ranch headquarters. Very short stretches of perennial flow are found below springs in Juniper, Last Chance, and Sitting Bull Canyons.
Cave openings, some of which are now blocked by talus, are numerous in the report area. Most of the caves are in the Capitan Limestone and carbonate rock of the Artesia Group between Dark Canyon and the Reef Escarpment, but a few small caves are in the San Andres Limestone in Last Chance Canyon and in the Rocky Arroyo drainage. At least one is in the large calcareous tufa deposit at Sitting Bull Falls. Seventeen cave openings are shown on the geologic map. These are probably most of the larger caves, but several other small caves are known (table 1).

2Not shown on plate 1.
3Howard (1931).
4Moran's (1955, p. 358) belief that sandstone beds found in Carlsbad Cavern may be shelfward tongues of the Delaware Mountain Group is not substantiated. On the basis of both lateral and vertical position they are probably tongues of the basal part of the Yates Formation as originally suggested by T. H. Black (1954, p. 139).
By far the largest known cave in the area is the Carlsbad Cavern which underlies an area nearly 1 mile long by more than one-half mile wide (figs. 27, 28; table 1). Except for New Cave and Cottonwood Cave, which has a corridor one-fourth of a mile long (Bretz, 1949, p. 456), most of the other caves in the area are no more than a few hundred feet in maximum dimension, and some are apparently no more than chimneys. However, so far as is known, the interiors of only 9 of the caves have been described, and only 4 have been mapped.
Carlsbad Cavern was first mapped and described by Lee (1925) and has since been discussed in many papers, such as those by Davis (1930, p. 572-578), Bretz (1942, 1949), T. M. Black (1954), Gale (in Hayes, 1957), Good (1957), and Moore (1960). New Cave, formerly Slaughter Canyon Cave, was also mentioned in several of those papers, but was described more fully by Burnet (1938). It was mapped (fig. 28) during fieldwork for the present project. Bretz (1949) has briefly described significant features of Black, Hidden, Cottonwood, and Mudgetts caves (table 1). George Moore mapped and described a small cave in Lechuguilla Canyon (fig. 28) known as Lechuguilla Cave, and Howard (1935, p. 63-65) described Burnet Cave (not shown on pl. 1) in Last Chance Canyon. Most of the other caves have been briefly described by Crisman (1960), and Goat Cave was briefly examined during the present investigation. Table 1 shows comparative data on 11 of the caves in the area.
Because the origin and development of the caves have been discussed comprehensively in other papers, only a summary of the conclusions reached in those papers is presented here. For more complete descriptions of the caves and for more detailed analyses of their development, the reader is referred to the several reports cited herein.
Davis (1930, p. 578) suggested that Carlsbad Cavern formed in two cycles, including an early period of solution in the zone of ground-water saturation (phreatic zone) which caused the excavation of the cave, followed by a period during which the cave was partly filled with dripstone and flowstone in the vadose zone. This history of development was accepted in principle by Bretz (1949). Swinnerton (1932, p. 667) and Gardner (1935), however, maintained that most solution took place at the water table, and that as the water table was lowered as a result of regional uplift, lower levels were excavated while the higher levels began to be filled by dripstone and flowstone due to precipitation of calcium carbonate from vadose waters. T. H. Black (1954, p. 137), Gale (in Hayes, 1957), and Good (1957, p. 20) adopted the two-cycle theory of phreatic solution followed by vadose precipitation, but agreed with Swinnerton that the most active solution took place at, or just below, the water table. They thus attributed the several well-defined levels of Carlsbad Cavern to long periods of stability in the level of the water table.
Both Bretz (1949) and Gale (in Hayes, 1957) presented evidence to show that most of the solution of Carlsbad Cavern and probably of all the solution caves in the area took place before the development of the present erosion surface and that the solution began along joints. Most of the solution probably took place from early in the Tertiary Period until near the end of the Tertiary or later. Motts (1959) believes that some solution is still taking place in the lower levels of Carlsbad Cavern. The late Pliocene or early Pleistocene uplift of the Guadalupe Mountains caused a lowering of the water table, and the vadose cycle of carbonate precipitation began. Carlsbad Cavern and New Cave apparently were partly refilled by water several times after the initial formation of dripstone. This is indicated by solution of some of the dripstone formations in New Cave (Bretz, 1949, p. 456; Gale, in Hayes, 1957), by the same phenomenon in Carlsbad Cavern, and by the presence of"a clinker-like deposit of calcium carbonate deposited [on preexisting dripstone formations to a uniform level] during an episode of re-flooding" (Black, T. H., 1954, p. 140). A thick deposit of gypsum on the floor of the Big Room of Carlsbad Cavern indicates that waters heavily charged with calcium sulfate partly filled the cave after the end of the first phreatic cycle (Black, T. H., 1954, p. 140; Good, 1957, p. 19). This gypsum could have been derived from the Castile Formation before it was eroded to its present level or from somewhat more distant sulfate beds in the evaporite facies of the Artesia Group.
Although all the caves in the area are now relatively dry, in Carlsbad Cavern there is evidence that two or three vadose streams have occupied the cave (Bretz, 1949, p. 451-453; Black; T. H., 1954, p. 140-141; Gale, in Hayes, 1957). The bones of a Pleistocene ground sloth, Nothrotherium, have been found in stream-deposited silt in the lower levels of Carlsbad Cavern, thus dating the stream as no later than Pleistocene (Gale, in Hayes, 1957). These stream deposits are now covered by flowstone and large dripstone deposits.
Probably most dripstone and flowstone in the caves were deposited during wet-climate periods concurrent with the advance of the Pleistocene ice sheets farther north. That the climate in the region was much colder and probably much wetter during the latest glacial advance is shown by the occurrence of fossils of late Pleistocene arctic-alpine birds and mammals in Burnet Cave (Schultz and Howard, 1935).
Description of the varied and, in places, bizarre dripstone, flowstone, and rimstone formations of the caves, and of the unusual mineral occurrences in the caves is beyond the scope of this paper. The literature on cave deposits in general is extensive. T. H. Black (1954) and Gale (in Hayes, 1957) have described the secondary deposits of Carlsbad Cavern, and D. M. Black (1956) has described an unusual type of rimstone in New Cave which he called a "furled retaining wall." Good (1957) has described and discussed the relatively minor, but very interesting, noncarbonate deposits of Carlsbad Cavern, and Davies and Moore (1957) have described the occurrence there of the minerals endellite and hydromagnesite.

If Hillary had any guts and/or sincerity she would've answered:"We need to have the option to support dictators when National Security (TM) aka cog demands it"Instead she slithers around, saying nothing and everything at the same time, like a true traitor to the US Constitution that she is.

How To Make Homemade 3-Ingredient Lip Balm
When I posted about Eight Products You Think You Need—But Don't, an overwhelming number of readers responded that they just couldn't go without lip balm. Well, if you can't give it up, at least consider making it at home, which also allows you to reuse tubes!
There are a few ingredients out there that will protect your lips from wind and temperature. While petroleum jelly will work, natural products like beeswax are a better choice for the obvious environmental reasons. Add a moisturizer in the form of an oil (like olive oil) and you're set. There are plenty of recipes out there that are more complicated than this one, but simpler is usually better. This recipe comes to us via GreenBeesbees, with some minor tweaks.
What You Need
2 tsp. beeswax (chop or grate it, then measure)
2 1/4 tsp. jojoba oil (you can use any oil you like, but for me jojoba's the only way to go)
6 drops of an edible essential oil such as grapefruit, lemon, lime, or tangerine (optional)
(These products are available at many locations including Mountain Rose Herbs.)
- Melt wax and jojoba oil together in a double boiler.
- Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Remove from heat and add essential oils.
- Pour into containers including new or used lip balm tubes. The author recommends letting the majority of the tube cool and topping it off for a better finish.
- Wait about 20 minutes for the tube to cool, and enjoy.
If you'd rather buy pre-made balm, check out a number of stores on Etsy that offer just about every flavor imaginable, including cinnamon.

wow, im going to try this...i have a chunk of beez wax in the honey bottle...is that the kind used in this recipe?
I fill a lip balm pot with vaseline to keep in my purse- it works as lipbalm or an all purpose moisturizer. A couple drops of essential oil would be a great addition!
I would not put any citrus oil in the balm. That and mint are often in many skin products (especially natural ones) but they are skin irritants.
susrith--are you sure that's beeswax? It could just be the honey that has solidified. If you melt it, it will turn back into liquid honey. If it's beeswax, it will look like honey comb.
@ violet veil
yes it is beeswax, my hubby got the bottle home not knowing that there was a piece of comb in it :)
You can not use ANY oil you want! Many essential oils will burn the skin. Do your research!!
P.S. Vaseline is a petroleum based product, highly refined and not organic or natural.
Besides, vaseline forms an impermeable film over the skin, and doesn´t let air through. I recommend shea butter or lanolin instead.
Ok, maybe I haven't found it yet, but I'd love to be able to flag certain posts, because this is definitely one that I'd like to revisit at a later date. Thanks for sharing! Also, I <3 MountainRoseHerbs in no uncertain terms.
Remember removing melted beeswax from anything is a pain in the butt!
I have a small, designated pyrex measuring cup that has a small spout on it. I use that to melt the beeswax and shea butter in the microwave. Double boiler, shmouble boiler - what a hassle and takes so long! Just keep an eye on it, checking often.
Once it's all melted, I add the essential oil and pour it into a little pot.
Can I use a honey instead of beeswax and a normal vegetable oil?

Colquitt, Georgia-- An actor turned economic developer is building a sound stage in Miller County to bring jobs to the region.
Lights, camera, action; the big screen is coming to the small city of Colquitt. "I was able to raise money from the Federal and State Government to build a 22,000 square foot sound stage," says Southwest Georgia Film Commissioner, Ralph Wilcox.
Wilcox is using decades of experience on screen, "I have been in show business for the last 30 years as an actor," he says, and a new passion for economic development to foster job growth in South Georgia.
"Cameras, lights, makeup, script writing, acting, coaching, you name it. I knew that Southwest Georgia had just tremendous, tremendous opportunities for the TV and film industry. It was just a question of exposure. I had a business plan, which was basically to create a training program," says Wilcox.
Mission accomplished. Wilcox now has programs at Darton College and Bainbridge College. His students will be the future of his sound stage. "Many of them I've trained I've been able to turn around and put them to work," says Wilcox.
Some on the six projects Wilcox already has slated for his sound stage, and at his faith-based film festival in June, when the sound stage will be done. "We're going to use about five or six counties that will be staging venues," says Wilcox. That expense will filter back to each of those counties.
Wilcox is planning on using his contacts in show business to help bring projects to the sound stage. It's expected to cost more than $500,000, without equipment.

So all right wingers are dittoheads? Congratulations, that's not intellectually childish at all. And what are the left wing lunatics and morons? Can I call them lunatics? Please, I want to!
No I refuse to stop calling dittoheads dittoheads. I call a spade a spade. The term originated with the dittoheads themselves and it is very appropriate. Just look around, look at them. A great number of them don't even know Hawaii is a state for God's sake.
When individuals allow emotion to filter fact and reason as the dittoheads due, then dittohead is an appropriate description. limbaugh has a on a great number of occassions encouraged his followers to not think about facts or even reason. According to limbaugh all they need is limbaugh. It is a sad and disgusting fact, but this is where we are today in American politics. Dittohead is an appropriate description of an American crisis. It would be intellectually dishonesst to ignore it or sweep it under the rug. It is a crisis and needs to be addressed for the good of the nation.
Stop calling right wingers dittoheads, that's intellectually childish
The only platform you need is currency and recognition of private property, not distortion and government enterprise and all that mess
Well you also need a plaform for trade, a set of rules for trade. That is a role that only government can fulfill. And as long as you have tie between business and governement, you have a strong potential for corruption. Without comphrensive consititutional corruption reform I don't think a private solution for our problems is doable.
Exactly, so businesses can only do these bad things because of government lobbying, which isn't free market. What we need is more free markets, and less government intervention. Then citizens can destroy a business for being bad.
Businesses survive or die in a freemarket place. But there in is the rub, there is always the temptation to fix markets with government fiat as is the case today. Unless you have a 100 percent corruption free government, business will find a way to fix the markets.
At least in a government system you will always have a bunch of citizens wanting a more cost efficient system pounding on the doors of government.
corruption in a government run system would be even worse! Unlike private businesses, government has no incentive to do a good job. Businesses survive because they do a good job, they have that obligation.
Well not there is where I disagree with you. Given the pressure on government to keep costs/spending down, I think it will be effective. As long as it is out in the open, I think we have a chance at beating it.
If it is kept in backrooms, it gets a lot less visibility.
I'm not in favor of corruption, either. The problem, I believe, with your approach is that there will *always* be a certain amount of corruption and there is no reason to believe that corruption in a government-run system will be any less or any easier to get rid of.
What do you do when the people who make and enforce the laws start breaking them?

A new Gallup poll shows support for marriage equality steady at 50 percent nationwide. Both Democrats (65-34) and Independents (57-40) want same-sex marriage to be legal, but as David Badash notes, Republicans are becoming increasingly anti-gay (22-74). Again proving that the Bishops do not speak on behalf of their congregants, 51 percent of Catholics said they support marriage equality. Respondents who were younger were much more likely to endorse the freedom to marry, as were individuals with more advanced educations.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was endorsed Sunday by Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, as Rep. Paul Ryan predicted that the former Massachusetts governor would capture "a lot of delegates" this week.
With primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia on April 3, "I think Mitt has a really good chance of winning a lot of delegates," Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, said on ABC's " This Week." Romney has 568 of the 1,144 delegates needed for nomination, according to an Associated Press tally.
Johnson told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Romney "is the person to lead our party, lead our nation." He also said that at the request of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, he would be coordinating the congressional agenda and message with the party's presidential candidate.
McConnell, interviewed on CNN's "State of the Union," stopped short of a formal endorsement of Romney while saying that "the chances are overwhelming" that he will be nominated and that he would be "an excellent candidate."
"It's time to turn our attention to the fall campaign and begin to make the case against the president of the United States," the Kentucky Republican said, echoing comments made by Ryan on both ABC and CNN Sunday.
Romney has predicted victory in the Wisconsin primary, projecting new confidence that such a win would clear the way for him to lock up his party's presidential nomination.
"We're looking like we're going to win this thing on Tuesday," he said Saturday in Fitchburg, Wis., suggesting he could also come out ahead in the other April 3 contests as well. "If I can get that boost also from Wisconsin, I think we'll be on a path that'll get me the nomination well before the convention."
Romney's chief rival for the nomination, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, said Sunday on "Fox News Sunday" that he felt no pressure to drop out of the race.
Romney "isn't even close to closing the deal" and Democrats showed in 2008 that a long primary can produce the best candidate, said Santorum, who according to the AP tally has 273 delegates.
"We came up with someone who, well, just simply wasn't able to win" in 2008, Santorum said. "We don't need to bail out and not have the best candidate to take Barack Obama on in the fall."
Santorum said that primary elections to be held in April and May in Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania and North Carolina "look very, very good" for him.
The Wisconsin primary is Santorum's last opportunity to demonstrate his strength in the Midwest, a region where he has said he would be better than Romney in competing against Obama. Santorum held Romney to wins of three percentage points in Michigan and one percentage point in Ohio.
The Wisconsin primary is not "do or die," Santorum said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
In a NBC News/Marist poll released late last week, Romney led Santorum in Wisconsin, 40 percent to 33 percent. Paul was third with 11 percent, and Gingrich was last at 8 percent. The telephone poll of 740 likely voters in the state's Republican primary was conducted March 26-27 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
The next contests will be on April 24 in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Delaware — states expected to favor Romney — and in Pennsylvania, which Santorum represented in the House and the Senate.
"We have to win Pennsylvania and we're going to win Pennsylvania," Santorum said on NBC Sunday. "I have no doubt about that."
Newt Gingrich, who is third in the race with 135 delegates and hasn't won a primary outside of South Carolina and his home state of Georgia, said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that he would endorse either Romney or Santorum if he doesn't win the nomination because "there's no alternative."
"You didn't say, 'In an ideal world, is Mitt Romney the person I'd like to have as president?' " Gingrich said on CBS. "That person is Newt Gingrich."
Gingrich supporter Sheldon Adelson, chairman of Las Vegas Sands Corp., said last week that the former House speaker is "at the end of his line," according to the Los Angeles Times, which reported that Adelson, his wife and other family members had given a total of $16.5 million to Winning Our Future, a super- PAC supporting the Georgia Republican.
Representative Ron Paul of Texas, who trails the other candidates with 50 delegates, said on CBS that he's "still campaigning" and that he wouldn't expect to be considered as Romney's running mate.
"There's too many disagreements," he said. "I have no common ground on economics."
Paul wants to eliminate the Federal Reserve, which he blames for the nation's "boom-bust" economic cycles, according to his campaign website, and legalize what he calls "sound money" as an alternative to "inflated" U.S. currency.

May 4, 2011
NAME: Jeff Gooch
COMPANY: MarkitServ
KEY FOCUS: Build a platform to manage all post-trade requirements of OTC derivative transactions including connec- tivity to all clearing houses.
In the aftermath of the passage of the Dodd-Frank bill, change and uncertainty have become watch- words for the over-the-counter deriva- tives business as it remains unclear how yet-to-be-implemented regulations will work – or work out.
However, Jeff Gooch, CEO of MarkitServ – a one-stop shop for the processing derivative transactions – has taken it all in stride. He attributes his ability to cope with the current business environment to two things – Morgan Stanley and stunt motor-biking. His experience at Morgan Stanley – where he worked for eleven years, rising to managing director and global head of fixed income operations – is relevant, Gooch says.
That's because the firm's derivatives operations is one of the largest such businesses on Wall Street. "I worked with many of the par- ticipants in the derivatives markets at Morgan Stanley and was one of the original customers of the two firms that formed and now jointly own MarkitServ – Markit, an independent source of de- rivatives pricing, indexes and valuations and The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) – and so I feel confident that I understand many of the current problems and concerns of our customers," he said.
In addition, when Gooch was a child, his father ran a stunt motorcycle show and frequent attendance at these events was an invaluable experience, Gooch noted. These prepared him for the regulatory uncertainty and growing competition in the present day deriva- tives market.
"I learned quickly as a child at stunt motorbike events that the expectations of one's audience and in turn, the world, constantly changes and you have to always keep your mind open to new pos- sibilities," Gooch said.
MarkitServ counts more than 70 dealers, 50 inter-dealer brokers and nearly 2,000 buy-side institutions, includ- ing hedge funds, pension funds and insur- ance companies, as customers. And it is developing new products and services for them, even as rules change, that have been top of mind for CEO Gooch.
Last year, a major focus for MarkitServ was helping the industry prepare for requirements to centrally clear certain derivative transactions. MarkitServ now connects to each of the six CCP's globally that currently accept trades, including: LCH.Clearnet, The CME Group, ICE Trust, Eurex Clearing, the International Derivatives Clearing Group and the Singapore Exchange.
"When we launched MarkitServ in 2009, we made a big splash, talking about
being a neutral platform that would offer connections to all the clearing houses; I feel better now that we have actually built out that connectivity," Gooch said, noting that the task was challenging to complete, as every clearing house has a different business model, employs its own technology, clears its own unique set of asset classes and serves its own set of user groups.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Where so I get started with this school? First, they are running low on money and personally I think they wouldn't be running so low if they didn't fund so much into football, cheerleading and basketball. Second, some of the sports and other programs it says they have on this website are lies. They don't have a dance team, golf team, swimming team, tennis team, and they do not teach German and French. The students there are the worst. There are fights and drugs being brought into the school. People are always stealing electronics there. A lot of unknown bullying goes on at this school. Rude and disrespectful staff members. Many kids skipping classes and nobody doing anything about it. It's a very dirty school since they had to do budget cuts and now they only have 2 janitors. I'll admit there are some good teachers who genuinely care. But there are also some bad ones who you can tell are only there for the check. I would not advice anyone to go to this school.
my school may be small but that is what makes it great, the teachers know every one. i used to go to a big school and i did not know half the teachers. but in clintondale the teachers all know who you are. our events are made for the students, not for what people think we need, but for what we want and need. our school cares about the students and that is what i think schools should be. how can a place help us learn if they don't care. i am happy to say in my school i don't need to worry about that
WOW where do I start with the wonderful things that are going on at this school. I know that a few years ago Clintondale High School became the first "flipped" school in the country. They have now become the models for many other schools. They have been written about in the USA Today, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal. Their principal (Greg Green) was even interviewed on CNN. A lot has chanced over the past few years and most of it for the good
I moved to this school on my senior year after attending a private school over seas. I'm very displeased with the quality of education at this school. It's a joke to be honest. Text books are easily 10 years out of date, facilities are worn out, and the technological center ( computer lab) do not even have working computers. This school is at least behind 3 years in education meaning they are teaching seniors what sophomores should be learning. If you want your children to fail in the future then by all means send them to this school.
I am very pleased with the education at the High School as compared to schools from around the area. The teachers are thoughtful and connect with the students. The fighting that does occur is equal to the other High Schools in the area. I am thankful to the schools extra efforts to help students be able to graduate.
Great small school with small town feel. Very please with all experiences we've had over the last 7 years. Looking forward 6 more!
i attend clintondale high scool and ok i know people say that clintondale is a bad school but it is just ignorance and students there that complain about the school are just are stupid and need to think what they are actually going to do with their lives and try working together. i believe that if we believe in each other we can make clintondale a better school for everybody.
I have had 3 children in Clintondale with 2 of them graduating from there. I am looking into school of choice now. I get very frustrated with the 'free days' or movie days. I think they should spend more time teaching, and teaching things such as banking, filling out applications, interviews, etc.
This school is not as horrible as everyone says. My children are doing quite well there. They are smart and active in the school. I am also active with the school. I think most of the problem is the lack of parent envolement with the school and with their children
this school is horrible. they had fights and a lock down on the same day. i called my mom in tears. becausei was so terrified.
This Is A Great School I Love My Child Going To Clintondale High School
I go to Clintondale. Yes, there are bad students, yes there is a lack of money, yes there is not much choice in classes. Even so, Clintondale is a good school. The teachers are awesome. They care a lot and will try to help you in any way they can. Clintondale is a very close knit school. As cliche as it sounds, we are one big family. If a student does'nt do well, they only have themselves to blame.
Full of delinquents that don't care about the school, the faculty, or the students who go there that actually want to learn. My child is there to learn but can't because of constant class disruptions due to insubordinate students.
I graduated from this school in 2003, and I have to say that I had a wonderful experience. The teachers in this school district were very caring and attentive. The scores on my MEAP test allowed me to get a scholarship towards college. I know have a Bachelor's degree.
I am a parent of a ninth grader this year and I have to say that I am very pleased with the structure and how well kept the school is ran. The teachers are caring and they show great concern for the students.I feel a sense of ease dropping my daughter off every morning knowing that she's in good hands.
Clintondale's less-than-impressive academic curriculum isn't so much the result of poor performance on the part of teachers or administrators, rather, the main blame must go to the students. A vast majority of Clintondale students are lazy and do not seek challenging courses. This lack of mental curiosity has resulted in cut-backs of certain programs, most noticeably in Language courses. Low morale for the school is prevalent through almost all students, who are mostly concerned about the dress-code and proms rather than the quality of their education. The student body's lack of interest in their education negatively affects the few who are, as it makes it economically reckless to continue to fund advanced classes with only 5 or 6 students. The administration dumbs-down the curriculum to accommodate the student body. The school has always championed its sports and music arts achievements, which, unfortunately, are the only things the school can brag about.
Clintondale has a problem with putting too much money into their sports programs instead of recognizing actual intellectual programs. When the bond issue came up this year and we got the grant they decided to put down a new gym floor that was just re-done a couple years ago instead of re-doing the auditorium stage which is in need of re-surfacing. Many of these students dis-respect the teachers and interrupt the classroom, instead of the teachers punishing these kids they just let them go on because they are too scared as to what might happen to them.I currently attend Clintondale and have since kindergarden. I only wish that I would've had the opportunity to transfer schools in high school.
Clintondale High School has its good and poor qualities. The best thing about the school is the performing arts. Our bands, choir, and drama programs have received numerous awards. I feel that the safety and discipline actions are not very high, the school has a reputation for being a 'rough' school. The school doesn't offer high academic classes, such as Calculus or any other foriegn languages other than Spanish. Clintondale does not offer a guy's tennis team. I believe that students at Clintondale can't grow to their full potential.
Although some Advanced courses are offered, class subject diversity doesn't exist. Curriculum is boring, and class pace is slow. Dropout rate is high, as well as those who move to other schools. The environment is very entrenched with low-middle income individuals who feel 'hopeless' yet do not have the programs available to them to help them out of that pattern we know so well. Considering the size of the district, the area it covers, and what it is comprised of, I'm surprised it (and Fraser HS) have yet to be assimilated into one of the larger districts. This should be done, as it would expand programs, funding, accountability, and give a real cha.nce to those in the area. I attended this district grades 5-12 and school-of-choice didn't exist until my junior year so I didn't have a chance at a better environment somewhere better. Poor morale, hostile environment.
