The attendance desk is open at 7:00 a.m. and closes at 4:00 p.m.
Parents or guardians must notify the school regarding all absences whether excused or unexcused.
Absences must be cleared within two days of returning to school otherwise the absence will become a cut and the student will receive consequences.
To report an all day absence call 828-2671.
To report a partial day absence call 803-3200.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Full Day Absence
Parent/guardian must call the attendance recorder on the morning of or within 48 hours of the absence.
1. Provide the date of the absence
2. Spell the student's last name
3. Provide the first name of the student
4. Provide reason for absence
5. Identify yourself
Partial Day Absence
In order for an absence to be excused when a student must leave school early or comes to school late, the following requirements must be met:
1. When coming to school late, the student must bring a note to the office, sign in and receive a pass to class.
2. When leaving school early, the student must bring a note to school, show it to his/her teacher, bring it to the office and sign out.
Failure to follow procedures may result in a cut from the class. Consequences can include a referral to the teacher or Monday School. In order to clear a partial day absence, students must sign in and/or out and parent contact must be made prior to the student leaving campus.
Authorized Attendance Clearance
Absences may ONLY be cleared by a telephone call personally made by the parent, guardian, or person listed on the emergency card if parents cannot be reached. Calls made by the student or persons not authorized to clear a student's absence violate rules for attendance and will result in student disciplinary action.
California High School is a closed campus. Students may not leave without their parent's permission. If a student leaves for lunch, the parent must come into the office to sign the student out.
Excused Tardy
To obtain an excused tardy, a note from a parent, a guardian, or a medical facility stating the reason for the tardy is required. Only tardies due to illness and medical appointments will be considered excused. Medical appointments require a slip from the medical or dental office to be excused.
Tardy to Classes Consequences
After the late bell rings the student is tardy. Every three tardies = a one hour detention, assigned by the classroom teacher to be served by the student at lunch time. Students who are more than 30 minutes late to class will receive a Very Tardy. Students with Vary Tardies may receive Monday School and begin the SARB process.
Students will be unable to access the PE locker room and will receive a dress cut if they are not excused with a note.
Pre-Informed Absences
Trips, college visits, or other anticipated absences require a pre-informed, Independent Study Contract. Independent study contracts must be requested 2 weeks prior to the absence. Contracts are available for a minimum of five days of absence but are not to exceed 10 days of absence. The contract must be signed by the parent and returned to the attendance office the next day.
Excused Absences
Illness – Excessive Illnesses may require a Drs Note to be excused.
Medical/Dental/Optometric Appointments (EXCUSED WITH A MEDICAL SLIP ONLY)
Make-up work resulting from an excused absence must be completed within a reasonable period of time commensurate with the length of the absence.
Other Excused Absences
Funeral Services
Religious Retreat (no more than 4 hours per semester)
Approved School-Related Activities
Observation of Religious Holidays

Students who have more than 3 cuts in a semester in a class may be denied credit. A call from the attendance office will alert parents of the absences. Students with excessive absences and illnesses may be sent to the SARB team and receive further consequences.
Illness at School
If a student becomes ill at school, he/she must report to the nurse or attendance office. If the nurse or attendance desk clerk determines the student should be sent home, the parents will be notified. It is essential the Emergency Card be kept current. A student may not be released unless a parent or other designated adult on the emergency card has been contacted. Students must sign in and out at the attendance desk. Students must sign out before they leave campus at any time. Students who fail to sign out may receive disciplinary action.
College Visits
California High School understands the importance of college visits for our students. It is preferred that students and their families schedule visits during school holidays and breaks, but we also know this is not always possible. Students in their Junior Year are allowed to have TWO days excused for OFFICIAL COLLEGE VISITS. Students in their Senior Year are allowed to have THREE days excused for OFFICIAL COLLEGE VISITS. Students must hand into the attendance office printed communication or forward email communication with the college within 48 hours of the visit in order for the absence to be excused.

Missing the Last Ten School Days for 2013-14 and
Independent Study Contracts at the End of the School Year
Students should be in attendance through the last day of school, June 12, 2014, to maintain their enrollment status at their current school. Independent study contracts will not be issued the last 10 days of school. All independent study contract work must be finished and submitted by May 29, 2014 in order for work to be graded and attendance to be recorded.
If your child must leave school earlier than 10 school days (May 29) before the last day of school and does not return before the end of the school year, your child may be subject to the following consequences:
Incomplete or lowered final grades
Review by school/district attendance review board
Unenrolled and placed at the bottom of the 2014-15 waitlist.
If your student is unenrolled, there may not be a space at the current school for your student to return in the fall. In this case your student may have to be diverted to another elementary school in the district. Middle and High school students may not be able to access their elective choices if they reenroll upon their return.
Please note:
In accordance with California Education Codes 48205 and 48260, and District Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5113, any student who misses 3 or more school days without a valid excuse, as defined by AR 5113, shall be reported as truant to the District attendance supervisor.
Missing the First Three Days of School 2014-15
As you plan your summer vacation, be aware that school begins on Monday, August 25, 2014
Because our district is growing, schools are very full and many continue to have wait lists.
As in the past, if your child does not attend the first three days of school, your student will be dropped from the school on Thursday, August 28, 2014
In that event, you will need to reenroll your student. A space at your resident school will not be held for your child. If there is not space at your resident school when you return, your child will be placed at the closest school based on space availability.

The Bauer Reflex RX8 Goalie Catcher is designed to be used by the hybrid style goalie that requires a lightweight design with lots of flexibility to achieve a full range of motion.
The Bauer RX8 catcher uses a high grade synthetic leather in the face along with a weave material to provide the design. That same weave is used on the majority of the backside to give this catcher a nice modern look. Bauer has designed this catcher to use a large open face design with a pre-curved palm to help with the break-in process. This catcher uses dual break zones to allow for maximum closure of the catcher. Bauer has used a deep single-T pocket on this catcher to allow you to retain the rebounds easily.
The frontside of this catcher uses a molded poly design to provide elite protection and the backside uses high density foams to fully protect the hand. The RX8 catcher uses a thick cuff box to help protect the wrist and bridge the gap between the catcher and the chest protector. Bauer has used a large thumb box to provide great protection as well as mobility. The thumb box also has a simple leather strap adjustment to allow for a custom fit. The backside uses Bauer's Flex Armour full motion protection to fully cover the hand even when making an unconventional save.
The inside of this catcher uses a mesh finger stall venting system to allow airflow through the hand as well as a comfortable fit. Bauer has used a leather liner inside this catcher to provide a high level of durability and assist in the drying process. To ensure that the RX8 catcher fits your hand properly, Bauer has used their unique inner hand bridge. This bridge is basically a strap that goes over the main part of the hand to provide great control and assist those goalies who like to play the puck. Bauer has also used a padded wrist strap to allow you to really cinch this catcher onto your hand.

Yesterday you all had the chance to name Chris Keelar's baby. There were some great suggestions, but here's what Chris had to say:
Well, first off, I want to say how slightly bizarre it is to have my personal life up on display like this. LOL. That said, Barbara's been a great friend for a long time–I don't think she's old enough to be my mom, sadly–and so it was worth it. I also want to thank all of you for taking the time to weigh in. Liz and I are flattered.
There were a lot of great options. Obviously, I can't promise I'm going with any of them–especially because Liz isn't even home at the moment, and she probably wants a bit of input. That said, they'll go on the list, and here are my favorites (ranked from third place to first, though I think there's only a prize for first):
Isabelle. I have always liked this name, and Izzy as a nickname.
Minerva. Actually, our top contender at the moment is indeed a goddess, though Greek not Roman.
and…my favorite is…
Musette. I like the name a lot, not least of which because it reminds me of Musica, mistress of the Cosmic Harp (the chick from Robotech), which was a name I liked but that got shot down early. Ah well.
So, thanks again, everyone!
So the winner is Kathleen Nordstrom. Kathleen, send me your street address to firstname.lastname@example.com and Boroughs Publishing will send you your prize.
Now here's the WW Ladies reads this week.
Bite Me, Your Grace by Brooklyn Ann
Read by joysann
Angelica Winthrop defies the conventions of the ton to find a spouse, dreaming of being a famous gothic novelist like Mary Shelley and Dr John Polidori. Polidori's popular book The Vampyre has put the Lord Vampire of London, Ian Ashton, the Duke of Burnrath, in danger. When Angelica discovers his secret, he convinces her the only course to follow is for them to marry. But their deception of love comes to mean something more to each of them.
It was fun to read about the strong stubborn independent-thinking heroine, a woman before her time. Amusing and romantic, and, to some degree, historically sound, this debut book in Brooklyn Ann's series just makes me anticipate the next one.
Did You Miss Me? by Karen Rose
Read by Joan
FBI agent Joseph Carter has for long months pined for Baltimore prosecutor Daphne Montgomery, rearranging his work in order to be close to her. He believes he has now missed his chance with her until he is pulled into her life when her son and his girlfriend are kidnapped.
I loved this book! It is a great combination of suspense and an ongoing love story. There are many interesting characters that could be friend or foe. Karen Rose kept me frantically turning the pages all the way to the end.
The Lady Most Willing by Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Connie Brockway
Read by joysann
After an evening of inebriating festivities in his decrepit castle, an aging Scottish laird leads his retainers in a raid on a neighboring estate to kidnap four young eligible heiresses for his two nephews, titled gentlemen themselves, and surely at least two of the ladies will serve. The women, knowing they are in no danger, mostly want to get where it's warm ahead of the blizzard. But romance seems contagious, and one union after another makes the adventure worthwhile.
The Lady Most Willing is a lighthearted romantic collaboration by these winning authors, each taking a different couple's story. In places it's enchanting, and in others, laugh-out-loud funny. As an easy read that warms and charms the heart, I am recommending it to friends.
The Other Woman by Hank Phillippi Ryan
Read by Heidi
Jane Ryland did the right thing, never revealing her source for her TV news report as an anchor, but at the cost of losing everything. Humiliated, she has become a newspaper reporter, running after every story, to prove herself a legitimate newswoman. Jane finds herself in the middle of a scandal, looking for a mistress of a Senator before a very important election. Detective Jack Brogan has his hands full, with three dead bodies of women who seem to be connected, but Jack knows there is something more. Jack and Jane soon realize their stories are somehow connected and look for the killer, before one of them becomes a victim themselves.
I have heard wonderful things about Hank Phillippi Ryan books, but have never had the opportunity read one, until now. What a book to start off with! My mind kept spinning with the mystery of who the killer was of the dead girls, who the mistress could have been, why was the Senate race so heated, and how will it end? Then, with all the plots, the super twists and turns, I found myself curling my toes through the whole book!! The ending didn't disappoint either, which makes for a great read!! This will be a wonderful book to cuddle up with during Spring showers on a weekend afternoon.
Bottom Line: Cabbage Patch dolls always creeped me out, but the picture at the top kind of fits.

1 pound
Bob Evans® Zesty Hot Roll Sausage
1 pound
Bob Evans® Italian Roll Sausage
1 tablespoon
1 1/2 cups
onion, chopped
medium potatoes, diced
8 cups
chicken broth
1 bunch
kale, chopped
1/2 teaspoon
slices baguette
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 tablespoon
Parmesan cheese
I have been making a similar version of this soup for years. It is filling and the only way I eat my kale! The differences are that I use zucchini instead of potatoe, only 1 lb of sausage, garlic instead of baquette, oregano/marjoram instead of nutmeg and crushed red pepper instead of parmesan. I brown the crumbled sausage and throw everything in my big crockpot. Freeze single portions for an easy fix other days!!!!
I was too nervous to try this because I don't often cook with sausage and have never cooked with kale, but luckily my boyfriend is fearless in the kitchen. Not only was it so simple to make, but it was delicious. I couldn't wait until the next day to have leftovers. The bread in the bottom of the bowl absorbed all the delicious flavors too. We actually added some quinoa to it as well, to make it even more filling and add some extra protein.
I would definitely be willing to try making this myself and have already passed the recipe on to friends and family as well as laminated it into my recipe book!

Delicious! I only used 1lb of medium-hot sausage and omitted the baguette. Also didn't puree any portion of the soup.
This soup with a huge hit with my family! I did not include the hot sausage (we are not spicy lovers) and I put in more kale (we were all sick and figured we could use the extra greens). There was NOTHING left!! Will definitely make this again, I'm already being asked when! Thanks!!
I was very excited to try this recipe especially since I just read a article about the health benefits of kale. I followed the recipe but took the suggestion of one of the reviews and used fresh marjoram instead of nutmeg. The soup was delicious! My only comment is that the soup is on the spicy side. I had doubled the recipe using 2 hot bulk sausage and 2 italian bulk sausage. Next time I might go with 3 italian sausage and 1 hot. If you are not a fan of spicy, definitely go with 2 italian bulk sausage.
This is so delicious and easy! I used only 1 lb. of sausage and a few more potatoes since the ones I had were small. A great way to use up my CSA produce!
We have been making a slightly different version to this for a couple of years after enjoying something similar at Olive Garden restaurant. We use regular sausage instead of hot/spicy, and let it cook all day in the crock pot. Then we add cream before serving to come closer to the O.G. version. It is very popular at our house, especially on a winter evening.
Loved this soup! I have three times aldready this winter. I did make a few changes....white beans instead of potatoes and added carrots...wonderful

|Make Your VT Fall Foliage Lodging Reservations Soon
We have been steadily getting calls for lodging during fall foliage. I received a call yesterday from a woman who said she had tried two other places before us and they were both full on the two dates she wanted.
If you plan to travel to VT during the last week of September or the first two weeks of October, you should make your reservations as soon as you can. Rooms are still available but the selection becomes smaller with each passing week.
Whatever you do, don't drive here thinking you can easily find a place to stay. Each year we get some drop-ins who did not know what a busy time of year that is here. We've been fortunate so far in calling around and finding some lodging for them but sometimes it is fairly far away and or not the best accommodation.
A few years ago, the only thing I could find locally was a deluxe suite priced at more than $400 that was available only because of a last minute cancellation. It was late at night and the couple decided to take it but naturally they were not happy to do so. I hope they have other good memories of Vermont besides what they had to pay for a room that night.

James I'm really starting to think getting a job in this trade when I'm just getting out of high school is going to be really tough with or without my body piercings. I may have a job at Pre Bilt that's actually how its spelled believe it or not. A bunch of their welders are heading out to Red Deer so it looks good if things work out over there.
cool, pop all that stuff out and go see them once a week till he puts you to work. be polite and let him know you are sereous about working. be prepaired to give up a few saterdays if he is open. once out of school the weekend is no longer the same, bills always come first.thanks for the help

I agree with you on that topic 100%. My bill right now is college a $15,000 plus bill that is needed to be saved up and paid off. I may not be in the school yet but thanks to me and my moms hard work I'm clear this year and if I get work this summer most likely next year. My thoughts are after second year college I'll head maybe out west for the amount of time I don't have school which I think is December I'll have to wait and see. My tattoo is almost all scab free I just have this annoying razer burn and that little bit of scabbing to deal with and then I'll have a picture for you guys

Young welder,
As an "old f@rt" just thought I'd chime in. Probably the most important fact in getting a new job is, "YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT AT MAKING A FIRST IMPRESSION".
What's in today may be totally unacceptable in the future--tat's included.
Back in the late '60's and early '70's the guys I ran with (Special Forces/Green Berets) were big into the tats (I wasn't). Nearly to a man today, if they had it all to do over, they would have done things a little differently.
When was the last time you saw a company (any company) CEO with a ring in his nose or a tat on his neck.
Food for thought.
I will ask her and jsut maybe if im lucky be able to post that picture to. Sundown I like the way you think I love tattoos alot but I want to see where my life takes me before I go anywhere near the big ones I want if things dont work out then they wont be thereThanks for reading I hope my post helped

I've only read the accounts of what happened last night, but that probably is best. Based on what has been said since the events of last night's Cubs @ Walgreens game, Jamie Quirk should be fired immediately and Steve Clevenger should be optioned off the team. The actions by both were ridiculous. Ever since Lou left this team has been a bunch of crybabies. Last year we had Quade complaining about teams running up the score when the other team led by 4 or 5 fucking runs. It's rubbed off on the players too. Steve Clevengers thinks a batter shouldn't be swinging 3-0 when their team leads by 5 in the middle of the fucking game. Unbelievable. Who taught these guys how to play baseball?
That is all.

Video: How to install a satellite radio or GPS antenna
Robert Ferency-Viars is the managing editor for the Crutchfield car A/V learning content, and has been with the company since 1999. A Virginia native from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he loves spending time with his wonderful wife and sons, listening to music, writing, and playing games with friends. Robert's love for car audio began at 16 when he installed his first car stereo.
More from Robert Ferency-Viars
This video shows you how to install an antenna for a satellite radio or GPS navigation system. The task isn't usually that difficult, but it can take a a little time to route the antenna cable.
Video Transcript
Satellite radio and navigation systems in your car have one thing in common. They both need a special antenna to receive signals from their satellites. First generation antennas were pretty big and bulky, but newer antennas are much smaller and easier to install. In this video we'll give you some tips on how to install the antenna, whether you have a car, truck, or a hatchback.
In most cases you'll be able to do the job with simple tools like a screwdriver, a socket set, a panel tool, and maybe a file. The first rule of antenna performance is to mount it high and clear. The roof of the vehicle is ideal but mounting it on a trunk lid will work pretty well too.
With most sedans it makes sense to mount the antenna on the roof in front of the rear window. Stick the antenna a few inches in front of the rear window. The magnetic base will hold it firmly in place. Then run the cable along the outside edge of the window seal and bring it to the trunk. Once there, locate a spot to run the wire into the trunk under the seal. If necessary, use a round file to notch the trunk's edge. Wrap the wire with some tape to protect it then replace the seal.
If you have a pickup truck there are some other options available to you. The brake light mounted above the cabs' rear window provides an excellent point of entry for the antenna's cable. From there you can drop the antenna cable behind the cab panels and down to the floor. Once you've reached the floor route the cable under the carpet to the front of the cab and up to the dashboard.
With a hatchback or SUV, installation is a little simpler. The back portion of the roof is an ideal mounting location for the antenna. Feed the cable through the hatch and then underneath the hatch's rubber weather seal. From there you can slip the cable underneath the carpet of the interior and route it toward the front of the car.
So you see, though you may have to spend some time routing the antenna cable, there's no real trick to installing it. Just plan ahead and take your time. Don't forget — all the gear you buy from Crutchfield comes with our free tech support so if you have any questions about the installation we're here to help. And for help choosing the right gear contact us online via chat or email or just give us a call.

Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts
Since the earliest beginnings of the university tradition the liberal arts, together with the sciences and mathematics, have constituted the core of higher learning. Systematic inquiry and the creative expression of new knowledge underpin every aspect of our self-awareness, our interaction with others, and our sense of place in a dynamic world.
In the College of Liberal Arts you may choose from more than thirty undergraduate and graduate programs. Some represent long traditions in the academy, while others have developed more recently as the college strives to meet the demands and expectations of modern society.
The liberal arts instill a passion for learning tempered by systematic systems of reasoning that make the growth and expression of knowledge an open and ever-changing process, while maintaining our commitment to the democratic, multicultural and civil society required to sustain that process. Research as active learning is at the heart of the liberal arts tradition.
Knowledge and awareness are worth little unless they are effectively communicated, shared, or creatively expressed. Our college offers a wide range of training in those processes through communication, creative writing, art, music, theatre, journalism, film studies and foreign languages.
The social sciences and humanities offer broad and time-tested frames of reference for the flood of information facing every member of our knowledge-based society. Anthropology, history, political science and sociology offer the means to comprehend the human condition and sustainability of its almost limitless variation over time and space. Literature, philosophy, and the study of ideas offer tremendous enrichment, alternative formulations of life, and test beds for the ideas each of us brings to the conversation. Psychology opens the door to human behavior and linguistics to the communication capacity that most clearly defines humanity. Women's studies offers many innovative approaches to the study of gender issues.
Our college is committed to the study, preservation, and continued vitalization of the culture and self-determined heritage of Alaskans whose ancestors came to this land thousands of years ago. The Alaska Native Language Center is one of the oldest research units in the university. Programs devoted to arts and culture also contribute to this important goal. Cross-cultural studies opens the door to globalization of these efforts through connections with other First Nations' programs around the world. For all of us, our program in Northern Studies provides flexible and interdisciplinary programs of study in many phases of life in the circumpolar North.
Finally, our college values and encourages engagement and community service. Programs in justice, social work and behavioral health training underscore this commitment.
Research-based learning is crucial to developing the skills of inquiry and discovery. Graduate and undergraduate students in all of our disciplines are encouraged to participate in research and creative scholarship. Opportunities exist for students to pursue their own unique research or to participate in the research of others.
Whether you find your way to the College of Liberal Arts through a degree program, through our broad support of the Core Curriculum, or through some other pathway in your individual learning experience, we welcome you as a learner and contributor.

Original Price: $129.99 Shop all Portable GPS Accessories Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff. Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Dominic Devito If you've got a Magellan RoadMate 9055, 9055-LM, or Pro 9165T portable navigator, you already know that it gives you reliable guidance and enhances your journeys. But did you know it can also double as a monitor for a rear-view camera? The Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera kit contains a camera, a transmitter, and a receiver. The 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver combo sends the images from the camera mounted on your rear license plate to your Magellan navigator. You'll see hazards, blind spots, and other dangers behind your vehicle, so you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe. The durable waterproof and dust-resistant camera comes mounted on a bar that fits easily on your rear license plate. You can adjust the angle of the camera up to 45 degrees for optimum viewing. The weatherproof transmitter connects to the camera and taps into your car's back-up lights. When you shift into reverse, the camera automatically transmits to the receiver, which is connected to your Magellan navigator in its mount — no need to route wires throughout the length of your vehicle. You'll love the wide-angle full-color view for backing up or parking. The transmitter's 45-foot range ensures you can use this kit with just about any vehicle, including trailers and RVs. Magellan recommends that you check their website to ensure your GPS navigator has the required software updates needed for camera functionality.

Works as advertised, Install very easy on my F250, picture quality is very good in daylight, no IR for night vision, so picture is very dark and grainy at night unless area is very well lit. Pros: easy install good picture in daylight Cons: no IR for night use Was this review helpful? Yes No magellan backup camera Written By larry, sodus, mi on Friday, April 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) did not work with 2011 chey pickup, picture came and went, sending unit not strong enough Cons: no good Was this review helpful? Yes No Great addition to gps Written By Love the backup cam, Nashville, TN on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unlike some reviews, I love this unit. I did the install myself on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. First, it is impossible for the dealer to add a gps with backup camera. Also very expensive to run a hard wire under the panels due to the way the body panels fit. So, a wireless is the best option. When I installed it, I made sure the place the transmitter where it would not be blocked by the metal of the hatch. I takes only about one second to turn on, and it I am backing up normally, it tracks very smoothly. I love this product and feel it completes the car! My wife has a factory camera and I feel that they are about equal. I would highly recommend this unit. Pros: Good picture Not too expensive considering the alternatives Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No The wireless camera with wires Written By Robert B, Jekyll Island, GA on Thursday, November 07, 2013 I bought this "Refurbished" directly from Magellan. I suspect it was just a unit returned by a frustrated owner. Does it work? YES, with qualifications. 1. The transmitter and receiver have to be within a few feet of each other or line-of-sight. On an SUV this might not be a problem, as you can put the transmitter under the back seat. The camera has a LONG power and signal wire to allow you to do this. On a pickup truck, this was problematic - the steel of the truck bed interfered with the signal and the image would flick on and off. Anything less than five bars is basically a bad signal. 2. The camera has no night light and there is a delay between the signal and reality, so you have to back up slowly, and at night, it is not much use. Since I am putting this in as a "backup" backup camera (I already have one built-in to the car) this is not too much of an issue. 3. For a wireless solution there is a lot of wiring - you have to cut into the vehicle harness somewhere to tap the reverse and ground wires. Not too bad, but not wireless either. 4. It comes with a new dual power plug, so you can use the old one on a second car. The receiver clips neatly into the mounting bracket for the GPS. 5. The GPS has a standard three-signal 1/8" input jack. Pros: receiver wiring neat, receiver mounts to GPS bracket. When signal is strong, unit does work. No extra wires hanging down from GPS unit. Cons: Signal weak, particularly on a pickup truck - need to mount transmitter IN CAB, negating the advantage of "wireless" install. Weak signal causes annoying flicker. No night light - very dark view at night. Delay in signal means you may have already hit something by the time you see it on screen. No parking bars (red, yellow, green) like other backup cameras 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No wireless back up camera Written By EeJuan R, St. Louis, MO on Saturday, May 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When it works it works well. The camera comes in and out at times. It will give you a glimpse if whats behind you when it goes in and out though. I still like the product. Pros: When working gives good view Cons: Doesnt always give a view of rhe back. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera Written By ican2k, Clifton Park, NY on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera for large SUV. It works great with my Magellan RM-1700. Installation was fairly simple and took about 30 minutes. Everything needed for installation was included in the box. Included was a 4 inch jumper that I was informed would be required for the RM-1700, however my unit performs perfectly without using the jumper. The video is crystal clear, and has a very sharp image. A great safety tool for my vehicle. Pros: Easy installation, good instructions, device works flawlessly. Is activated when vehicle is in reverse gear. Cons: Only issue is that the GPS must be in active mode for camera to work. Does not come on if GPS is in standby mode. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not so hot Written By Bridget, Cape Coral, FL on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The idea with the backup camera with the GPS is awesome. BUT.... the back up camera is wireless, so it does not come in that clear. Not good in low lighting Pros: Great price Cons: lousy picture on camera 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No No Distance Scale Lines Written By Billd, Williamsburg, VA on Monday, February 25, 2013 Good Camera but image does not display distance scale lines. Any obstruction initially appears much more distant that it actually is until very close so it is misleading how close you are to the object until it is almost too late. Otherwise a great camera. Pros: Clear image with good color. Relatively easy to install Cons: No distance scale lines 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No No night vision Written By Don, DeLand, FL on Saturday, February 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera does not work in the dark.. I got it for my wife who can't see to back out of a tree-lined driveway at night. Mail boxes are also a problem. Other cameras have infrared lighting for night use. Pros: Adequate for daytime use. Cons: No good for nighttime use. Occassionly doesn't come on when shifting to reverse. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera Written By Anonymous, Haymarket, VA on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The camera feed does not always display in the Magellan GPS unit. I got the RM9250 and they don't seem to work the best together. Pros: Cost Cons: The camera feed does not always display in the GPS unit. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Convenient but Disappointing Written By GuyL, Johnson City, TN on Monday, April 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this on my wife's Yukon XL coupled with the Magellan 1700 GPS. The convenience of having a single screen that doubles as both a GPS and backup camera is great, but the quality of the image is terrible. The image is very choppy as if I'm viewing a series of still images. But the biggest issue I have is the lag. When backing up there is slight delay as to where I am vs what's displayed on the screen. I feel that if an animal (or one of my kids!) were to run behind the vehicle and I was focused solely on the camera it could be too late. Crutchfield, as always, is fantastic however. The product was on back order with no ETA for shipment but because of a discount I went ahead and ordered it. I still had it within a week. Pros: Convenient to use a single screen. Fairly simple wiring. Tilting camera allows you to adjust your angle. Cons: Poor image quality. Lag in the image. Choppy image. Delay in image even appearing after putting vehicle in reverse. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Back Up Camera Written By PaulR, Absecon, NJ on Monday, February 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Price was the best with coupon from coupon.com. Had back windows in van tinted very dark. You can also see down low behind you so you don't hit a curb or the like. Pros: Works very well. Nice wide view. Easy to install. Cons: It will not work until GPS picks up Satellite signal. can be a problem if your in a harry to back up. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No it works Written By amx1397, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. on Sunday, January 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) with the work van ,, no see through,, it is just what we need Pros: it works great, wide angle, clear make a few back ups to get use to how far you really are and your good to go. Cons: easy to steal, if somebody wants it. 12 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera Written By MJ, OREGON on Sunday, November 13, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I order this camera to connect to my new Magellan 1700. I like the idea of wireless for ease of installation. After I got it, The manual says professional installation recommended. I am very handy man so I did the installation myself. It took me about an hour. What a disappointment. First the quality of camera is terrible day or night. Also it seems the wireless units (receiver and transmitter) do not communicate too well. I keep losing the signal so the rear view video goes off and on. I though may be there is something wrong with my unit so I call Crutchfield and they send me a new replacement. The new unit works as bad. Do not waste your money. It is over prices and does not work. I am sending both unit back. Cons: Bulky receiver and too many annoying wires for wireless unit. 49 out of 52 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

East Tennessee State Volleyball Plays First Home Match Tuesday Night
Monday, September 24, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State volleyball team plays their first home match of the season Tuesday night against Appalachian State from Brooks Gym. The Bucs have begun the season by winning six of their first seven matches, all on the road. They won the 2001 Winthrop University/Microtel Inn and Suites Invitational from Rock Hill, S.C., where senior setter Carey Cavanaugh was named the Most Valuable Player. East Tennessee State is 3-1 in Southern Conference play, defeating Chattanooga, Furman and Wofford. Many Buccaneer players rank among the Southern Conference statistical leaders. Cavanaugh (.287) and sophomore Lissa Allen (.282) are among the league leaders in hitting percentage. Cavanaugh leads the conference in assists at 12.47 per game. Cavanaugh (3.43, third) and fellow senior Amber Ciskowski (3.33, fifth) are among the league leader in digs. The East Tennessee State-Appalachian State match begins at 7 p.m. from Brooks Gym on the campus of East Tennessee State University.

Many who lost their homes to Sandy have told us that they don't want to give up their pets, but that they have nowhere to keep them. In response, today the ASPCA is opening a 20,000 square-foot emergency boarding facility for hundreds of animals displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
Located in central Brooklyn, this emergency boarding service is offered to those who need a place to house their animals until they can get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for pets of those in evacuation centers, as well as pets whose families are already boarding them at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn.
This effort is greatly aided by a $500,000 grant from generous animal lover Rachael Ray, as well as the donations of our compassionate supporters.
The ASPCA is operating this facility in collaboration with Animal Care & Control of NYC, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Veterinary Response Team, and the NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
"We will continue our disaster relief work to help animal victims in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and hope that the emergency boarding facility will allow pet parents to focus on rebuilding their lives," says ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Senior Director Tim Rickey. "It will take time, but we will work as a community, and the ASPCA will continue to provide ongoing assistance, personnel and resources as long as we're needed."
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and needs to temporarily house an animal at our facility, please see the details below.
Where: Pet parents in need can bring their animals directly to the emergency boarding facility, located at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11233, as early as today. Map
When: Starting today, the facility will be open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and will remain open for 30 days.
Standard of care: Veterinarians and specially trained staff will care for these pets and keep them healthy and happy, and pet parents will be welcome to visit.
What to bring: Pet parents are encouraged to bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency boarding facility: one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID, or non-driver ID) and a proof of address (i.e. utility bill, driver's license). If possible, we encourage people to put ID tags on their pets and bring a carrier or crate, vaccination records, and medications or supplies for pets with special needs.
As more Sandy victims are able to move out of New York evacuation shelters, the city is consolidating its housing for families displaced by the storm. That means people—and their pets—must relocate.
An evacuation shelter in Queens was closed this weekend, and its remaining residents and their 51 animals needed to head to another shelter in the Bronx. When the Mayor's Alliance for NYC requested our help moving these animals, we jumped at the chance.
On Saturday, our responders helped move cats, dogs, birds, turtles (named Ike and Tina) and puppies to their new temporary home in the Bronx.
Keeping families together is what the ASPCA's response to Sandy is all about, and we are thrilled to have been able to help people stay with their pets at a time when some have lost everything else.
One man at the evacuation shelter told us Sandy had destroyed his home and belongings, but that he still felt blessed because he had his two dogs with him.
"Everything else can be replaced, but I can't replace my dogs," he said.
Our response to Sandy is ongoing as affected communities remain devastated. For updates on our work, please check the ASPCA blog and follow the ASPCA on Twitter.
The ASPCA has been in Sandy-affected areas since the storm rescuing animals, reuniting them with their families, distributing critical supplies and providing critical veterinary care. The need was great right after the storm, and it's only growing now as more families' homes become uninhabitable and cold weather sets in. That's why we're continuing to expand our response to Sandy.
For the thousands of families without power, running water or even homes a week and a half after Superstorm Sandy, the ASPCA can't unload our pet supply trucks fast enough. Everywhere our trucks stop, we are met by a crowd of needy pet parents who eagerly snap up the supplies before we can pull away to the next distribution point.
Pets are all many families have left, and they are eager to take good care of them in spite of all they've lost. To date, we have distributed thousands of pounds of pet food and cat litter to areas of extreme need, and we are ramping up this effort and fielding more requests every day.
Our grants department is fielding requests of a different sort: pleas for help from shelters and other animal welfare groups affected by Sandy. We're expediting the process so these groups get the help they need immediately.
If you live far from the affected area, please don't look away from this catastrophe now. Animals and their pet parents need our help desperately, and we're working around the clock to meet their needs. To date, we have helped nearly 6,000 animals, and we don't expect this operation to wind down any time soon.
If you would like to contribute to our disaster relief fund, you can make a gift here. Every cent will go to ASPCA disaster relief efforts.
For updates on the ASPCA's response to Sandy and its repercussions, please keep an eye on the ASPCA blog and follow the ASPCA on Twitter.
The Cruelty Intervention Advocacy (CIA) program works in conjunction with Humane Law Enforcement to intervene in cases involving animals that are not victims of cruelty but may be at risk of becoming victims without intervention. To date, CIA has intervened in over 80 animal hoarding cases in New York City's five boroughs. CIA's Colleen Doherty told us about her work during Sandy.
When Hurricane Sandy hit NYC, I knew I had to get out to cases in impacted areas as quickly as possible to check on the condition of the animals. I responded to 11 cases in two days with a Humane Law Enforcement Agent and veterinarian, providing wellness checks to animals and critical supplies such as pet food and litter.
One case in particular in Coney Island, an area heavily impacted by Sandy, involves a family with 50 cats. Just before Sandy hit, the CIA team was coordinating a rescue operation to remove these cats and place them for adoption as soon as they were rehabilitated. Sandy interrupted this effort, and after the storm, I was not able to get in touch with the family because the cell service and power was out. I headed there right away to check on them.
Luckily they didn't sustain major flooding. They were in need of some supplies as lots of local stores were closed or flooded, so we provided them with all the essentials.
It is an unbelievable feeling to be a lifeline to so many animals in my community. Being able to have a hands-on approach, seeing the condition of animals, pet parents and homes, and to see a case to completion, is an amazing privilege that I feel very lucky to have.
Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Yesterday we told you about our field team's work to reunite families with their pets in the Rockaways, one of many areas that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Check out this touching video of Leanne Rivera's reunion with her beloved pup Precious.

Latest News
With LIFE, we've designed an organization that provides guidance, information and support on the non-medical aspects of epilepsy care for the individual and their families, an outreach for public awareness of epilepsy, and quality of life programs for all who are interested. Our model relies on a philosophy of partnering with professionals and establishing collaborative relationships with individuals with epilepsy, their families and the community to deliver a unique comprehensive program of services.
In addition to obtaining good medical treatment, individuals with epilepsy must learn healthy behaviors and attitudes to optimize their well being and quality of life. Physician counseling alone is often inadequate to properly create a comprehensive program of wellness. Physicians in Nebraska and western Iowa may suggest reading materials, the internet, or support groups to their patients but cannot be assured that the patient or caregiver will follow through on proper lifestyle choices to optimize their epilepsy care.
Living well with epilepsy requires understanding the impact of choices, behaviors, and lifestyles on seizure control. Epilepsy wellness is impacted directly by diet, exercise, sleep, stress management (anxiety, depression, emotions, coping skills), social concerns (self-image, self-esteem, working, driving, dating, school), and interacting with family, peers, caregivers, and employers.
Furthermore, epilepsy is often accompanied with learning disabilities. Families need to learn how to manage a child's education; individuals need to learn coping techniques to overcome deficits; and employers need to know how to provide accommodations.
In order for an individual to gain understanding regarding lifestyle choices or self-advocacy, they must first have the skills, knowledge, and support of others. For employers, the general public, schools, or business to understand accommodations and needs of someone with epilepsy, they must also gain an understanding of those issues.
Services In Nebraska and Western Iowa
Presently in Nebraska and western Iowa there is no comprehensive resource for people with epilepsy to gain the education, insight, and support to take charge of managing their condition, allowing them to be active members of their communities.
LIFE plans to eliminate this gap for services in the state of Nebraska and western Iowa. Although the primary population targeted is people with epilepsy, LIFE offers a resource for referrals to medical professionals and a support network for all who touch the lives of an individual with epilepsy.
LIFE Mission Statement
LIFE will enrich the lives of people with epilepsy by providing strategies and resources for overall wellness, with the goal of allowing persons with epilepsy to participate fully in all aspects of community life.
LIFE Company Vision
LIFE is dedicated to the development of viable, practical programs that encourage overall health and wellness for people living with epilepsy, their families, friends, employers, and the community at large, through creation and refinement of non-medical support tools and methodologies which incorporate all aspects of mental and physical well being.
LIFE is now part of the Baker's Community Rewards Program! Simply go to www.bakersplus.com/communityrewards to start registering your Plus card. LIFE will earn rewards for every purchase you make. Our NPO number is 70158. For more information about the program, click here.
LIFE provides critical assistance to people living with epilepsy and their families, and programs of interest to individuals using non-medical treatments to assist with seizure control.
Committed to serving all persons living with epilepsy, LIFE serves a diverse client base and offers services and education to an estimated 25,000 individuals in the region while partnering with private and public organizations.

What Conditions Are Not Dementia?
Age-related cognitive decline. As people age, they usually experience slower information processing and mild memory impairment. In addition, their brains frequently decrease in volume and some nerve cells, or neurons, are lost. These changes, called age-related cognitive decline, are normal and are not considered signs of dementia.
Mild cognitive impairment. Some people develop cognitive and memory problems that are not severe enough to be diagnosed as dementia but are more pronounced than the cognitive changes associated with normal aging. This condition is called mild cognitive impairment. Although many patients with this condition later develop dementia, some do not. Many researchers are studying mild cognitive impairment to find ways to treat it or prevent it from progressing to dementia.
Depression. People with depression are frequently passive or unresponsive, and they may appear slow, confused, or forgetful. Other emotional problems can also cause symptoms that sometimes mimic dementia.
Delirium. Delirium is characterized by confusion and rapidly altering mental states. The person may also be disoriented, drowsy, or incoherent, and may exhibit personality changes. Delirium is usually caused by a treatable physical or psychiatric illness, such as poisoning or infections. Patients with delirium often, though not always, make a full recovery after their underlying illness is treated.
What Causes Dementia?
All forms of dementia result from the death of nerve cells and/or the loss of communication among these cells. The human brain is a very complex and intricate machine and many factors can interfere with its functioning. Researchers have uncovered many of these factors, but they have not yet been able to fit these puzzle pieces together in order to form a complete picture of how dementias develop.
Many types of dementia, including AD, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's dementia, and Pick's disease, are characterized by abnormal structures called inclusions in the brain. Because these inclusions, which contain abnormal proteins, are so common in people with dementia, researchers suspect that they play a role in the development of symptoms. However, that role is unknown, and in some cases the inclusions may simply be a side effect of the disease process that leads to the dementia.
Genes clearly play a role in the development of some kinds of dementia. However, in AD and many other disorders, the dementia usually cannot be tied to a single abnormal gene. Instead, these forms of dementia appear to result from a complex interaction of genes, lifestyle factors, and other environmental influences.
Researchers have identified several genes that influence susceptibility to AD. Mutations in three of the known genes for AD - genes that control the production of proteins such as amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin 1, and presenilin 2 - are linked to early-onset forms of the disease.
Variations in another gene, called apolipoprotein E (apoE), have been linked to an increased risk of late-onset AD. The apoE gene does not cause the disease by itself, but one version of the gene, called apoE epsilon4 (apoE E4), appears to increase the risk of AD. People with two copies of the apoE E4 gene have about ten times the risk of developing AD compared to people without apoE E4. This gene variant seems to encourage amyloid deposition in the brain. One study also found that this gene is associated with shorter survival in men with AD. In contrast, another version of the apoE gene, called apoE E2, appears to protect against AD.
Studies have suggested that mutations in another gene, called CYP46, may contribute to an increased risk of developing late-onset sporadic AD. This gene normally produces a protein that helps the brain metabolize cholesterol.
Scientists are trying to determine how beta amyloid influences the development of AD. A number of studies indicate that the buildup of this protein initiates a complex chain of events that culminates in dementia. One study found that beta amyloid buildup in the brain triggers cells called microglia, which act like janitors that mop up potentially harmful substances in the brain, to release a potent neurotoxin called peroxynitrite. This may contribute to nerve cell death in AD. Another study found that beta amyloid causes a protein called p35 to be split into two proteins. One of the resulting proteins triggers changes in the tau protein that lead to formation of neurofibrillary tangles. A third study found that beta amyloid activates cell-death enzymes called caspases that alter the tau protein in a way that causes it to form tangles. Researchers believe these tangles may contribute to the neuron death in AD.
Vascular dementia can be caused by cerebrovascular disease or any other condition that prevents normal blood flow to the brain. Without a normal supply of blood, brain cells cannot obtain the oxygen they need to work correctly, and they often become so deprived that they die.
The causes of other types of dementias vary. Some, such as CJD and GSS, have been tied to abnormal forms of specific proteins. Others, including Huntington's disease and FTDP-17, have been linked to defects in a single gene. Post-traumatic dementia is directly related to brain cell death after injury. HIV-associated dementia is clearly tied to infection by the HIV virus, although the exact way the virus causes damage is not yet certain. For other dementias, such as corticobasal degeneration and most types of frontotemporal dementia, the underlying causes have not yet been identified.

|Vermont Transitions from Fall to Winter
I'll make you a deal. If you spend a few hundred dollars to travel to Vermont, in exchange we will give you million dollar views that will return your investment many times over.
Here in northern Vermont, we are moving quickly from fall into winter as this photo illustrates magnificently. It was taken yesterday afternoon from the Burlington area looking east toward Mount Mansfield. This is all natural snow and on the other side of the mountain, Stowe ski resort has been busy the last couple of weeks making even more snow to build a deep base for the skiers and snowboarders. The resort opens its trails November 21.
That bump on the right side of the mountain ridge line is known as the "nose" and the larger lump on the left side is the "chin."
This photo is from "Hugho" who posts a photo every day on his Megapickles photoblog. There is a link to the blog in the left column of this Vermont Travel News blog too. You should go to his blog to see the full size version of this photo. I also recommend you spend some time poking around the archives to see the great diversity and talent on display. I look at it every day and am always rewarded with a new and beautifully rendered photo. Most of them are taken around northern Vermont with a rare foray into, for example, a nearby area such as the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire.

Lindsey Vonn breaks the record for most points by a female in a season
Lindsey Vonn admitted that slalom has "been a struggle" for her this season yet by scoring 32 points she surpassed the record set by Janica Kostelic in 2006. In a race that was won by Michaela Kirchgasser, Vonn finished in joint 8th place with Maria Hoefl-Riesch. With the record of Kostelic and also that of Hermann Maier (2000 points) playing on her mind, Vonn was happy to have crossed this hurdle though the focus remains on the Maier record. "I do care about this record," she admitted after the race, yet the race for the last remaining 20 points to go ahead will come to a head in the final race of the season in the Giant Slalom.
Vonn has scored her points through hard work and winning races: The HEAD World Cup Rebel currently has twelve races wins across four of the five World Cup Disciplines this season and a further five podium places as well.
With the possibility to win the Giant Slalom Crystal Globe up for grabs in the final race of the season, Vonn expects a tactical race to develop depending on the start numbers and also on starting position for the second run. With points only being awarded in the Final's races down to fifteenth place, Vonn reflected on the feeling of "I must get to the finish" if she is to overcome the 2000 point barrier.
Anywhere in the top 13 will secure the points required for the record; only first will suffice for the Globe with Rebensburg 16th or worse.
The season has been long and tiring and Vonn is now looking forward to the Giant Slalom being the last race of the season. The soft snow and the warm weather will played its part in the Slalom and will play its part in the Giant Slalom. "I will go as hard as I can but I will have to ski smart," Vonn explained.
Whatever happens in the Giant Slalom Vonn has no regrets over this season: "I will keep working hard and will look to break more records." But most of all she admits that she will "keep having fun!"

4th Annual Yosemite Facelift a Success
The 2007 Facelift was very successful. The final count was 2,945 volunteers that contributed 18,335 man hours. The cleaning was contagious as people jumped in to help participants fill their bags. The Park Service valued the work at $344,148.00. 132 miles of roadway were cleaned. Items including toilet paper, cigarette butts, and micro-trash were removed from the woods at all turnouts throughout the park. 80 plus miles of trails were cleaned and the Merced River Corridor was cleaned from Happy Isles to the NPS Warehouse in El Portal. All lodging, campgrounds, and housing areas in the Valley and Tuolumne were cleaned. Certain abandoned infrastructures were removed which was the majority of the weight. In all over 42,330 pounds were collected and everything that could be recycled was. About 32,000 pounds of the weight was from special projects we took on, helping rid the park of old infrastructure that NPS does not have funding to remove.
Close to 400 people attended the reception following the cleanup and enjoyed the free food and beverages provided by Delaware North Parks & Resorts at Yosemite. Thanks to over 70 sponsors who donated an array of prizes, participants were rewarded with a daily raffle and a final raffle during the reception.
Volunteers world-wide showed up to do their part in being land stewards. YCA thanks all the volunteers who showed up and made the Facelift a success. Without them this event wouldn't have been possible. Everyone had a great time and many old friends and new were brought together during this event. We look forward to next years Facelift and hope to see you all there!
Another Note from Katie
Now that the 2007 Facelift has come and gone I'm left to consider what the steps are in preparing for next year and how can we all keep the spirit of taking care of our land going? As ideas start to come to me I'm left with the nagging question of why is there so much trash to pick-up in the first place.
Well, as it may seem obvious (granted sometimes the obvious goes unnoticed) the trash comes from our consumption and throw-away acts. Ideally here at YCA next year we hope to see a decrease in the amount of trash that we pick-up. Eventually it would be a blessing to have absolutely no trash to pick up. But, it seems that at the rate we buy and use and dispose that there will forever be trash. So, I just want to share some thoughts on what we can all do to help decrease the ever increasing trash. Next time you go to the store ask yourself what is it that you really need? How much is necessary to sustain one-self? If we all cut back on how much we buy and consume there would be a huge decrease in the amount that we "throw away." And to dig just a little bit deeper, the idea of a place to throw something away is an illusion. There is no "away," everything we create stays here with us on this earth. Thus, the more we use the more we create the more we have to seemingly throw away therefore the more trash we have to manage and carry around with us. One simple thing to do is to not buy bottled water. Usually your tap water is just as clean if not cleaner than the stuff they sell in the store. End result, no more pesky plastic bottles to deal with. And don't we all own enough plastic bottles already, so why not reuse them?
I say these things not to create feelings of being overwhelmed or to come off as preachy but to stir-up some more conscious thoughts about what we use, how we use it and where will it go afterwards. So, that hopefully come next year and the years following trash won't even be an issue.

A Call to All Artists
The YCA 3rd Annual Art Auction will take place in one month. We are seeking any interested artists to make a donation for this event. We are looking for art of all mediums and subjects. For more information or submissions please contact Ken Yager at email@example.com
Facelift in the News
Last week ABC's network television crew from New York paid a visit to Yosemite to get news coverage of the Yosemite Facelift. Our volunteer clean-up effort will yield a nice piece on the evening of Monday, October 8th. This will air on ABC World News with Charles Gibson under the "Keys to Success" segment. This is significant and positive press for Yosemite that will air nationally in millions of homes. Please tune in and tell your friends.
Donations Keep Us Going
Now that the dust has settled from the clean-up we are getting back on task with the museum. But, as with any and all organizations funding is essential to maintain and keep going. We received numerous donations during the Facelift, all of which helped us to offset the cost of the event; and we are so very thankful for the contributions and support. We are asking that you keep us in mind and if you are interested financially in helping us make our dream of a climbing museum come true then please send your tax deductible donation to Yosemite Climbing Association PO Box 89 Yosemite National Park, CA 95389.
Best Wishes,
Ken Yager
