��Full of energy and passion, Kern County First District Supervisor Mick Gleason touched on three important topics during a speech to the Ridgecrest Exchange Club on Thursday: Meth abuse, water and resources in the Indian Wells Valley and the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Initiative.
Full of energy and passion, Kern County First District Supervisor Mick Gleason touched on three important topics during a speech to the Ridgecrest Exchange Club on Thursday: Meth abuse, water and resources in the Indian Wells Valley and the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Initiative.
"We're going to get smart about methamphetamine use in Kern County because I think it's critically important we do that," Gleason said.
Gleason was recently tapped to chair the Kern County Meth Reduction Taskforce, an organization funded by the county at raising awareness and curtailing the use of meth in the county.
One of the organization's future events will include an July 6 fireworks show and barbecue in Kernville that would involve guest speakers, programs and include law enforcement and educators and former addicts.
"Most importantly, we're bringing families from all over Kern County together for some food, entertainment and programs aimed at educating people on methamphetamine abuse and our impacts to our communities," Gleason said.
Gleason said it would be one of several similar programs for the county, with a possible one in Ridgecrest in the future.
Gleason said that the county needs to become more involved in the situation at all levels.
"Thirty-nine percent of all felonies in Kern County are methamphetamine abuse-related," Gleason said.
This reflects a 2008 study in Kern County that figured meth into the reason behind felonies.
"The average age of a person's introduction to meth use is 13," Gleason said. "We as a county need to get smart about this."
He said most law enforcement agencies were well aware of the impact meth use had on the people.
"Chief Ron Strand is a great example of someone who is keenly aware of the impact meth use has," Gleason said.
Inyokern UAS
Gleason gave a brief spotlight on Inyokern's bid for one of six FAA-designated national test sites for unmanned systems.
To date, the team, Cal UAS Portal, has received strong support from Congressman Kevin McCarthy, state Sen. Jean Fuller, Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, Gleason himself, and the full County Board of Supervisors.
He said Eileen Shibley was making headways in making pitches to the Kern County Farm Bureau and Chevron and other industries.
"What we're doing is trying to draw parallels in applications of UAS and unmanned vehicles can better the agricultural business and the oil business," Gleason said. "Once those ag and oil businesses understand that UAS have an indigenous capability to build and provide UAVs for their businesses, they'll be more willing to come across with financial support."
A holistic approach to IWV water and resources
Gleason touched on an initiative being launched by Kern County that would envision how the Indian Wells Valley's concern over water.
"We're going to be taking a holistic approach of understanding what the relationship between the Indian Wells Valley and water usage is," Gleason said.
Recently, the county issued a request for proposal for a consultant that would begin designing a plan and engage the public on what the valley's needs were.
Gleason said the plan would likely leverage information old Indian Wells Valley Visioning process conducted in 2011 and released in 2012 but taken in a new direction. However, he stressed that it was a lengthy process.
Included in the new plan would be scientific studies of the valley's preservation of the military mission, the valley's trail systems and water usage and conversation.
Tenure as a Supe
Gleason was asked about his still-brief tenure as a County Supervisor, something he said was a enjoyable challenge.
"This job is what I imagined and so much more," Gleason said. "I'm fully challenged, which I enjoy."
He said his current position provided a more fulfilling aspect, especially with different challenges every day. He credited his staff for keeping him charged, including Denny Kline in the Indian Wells Valley, Pat Connell in the Kern River Valley, Dave Freeland in Delano and McFarland, and Leigh Ann Cooke in Bakersfield.
"I enjoy working on the Board of Supervisors because I've come to know them a little bit better," he said. "I feel good when government is doing something it should be doing."

Tatnall School senior Kaitlyn Jones discusses her three girls swimming state records and one national record set at the DIAA Swimming & Diving Championships held in March. The Newark resident will attend the University of Virginia on a swimming scholarship.
The DIAA Swimming & Diving Championships featured the usual in Salesianum winning the boys state championship and Charter School of Wilmington winning the girls state championship, but The Tatnall School's Kaitlyn Jones stole the show with a stellar individual performance that put her in the record books.
Jones broke Olympian Missy Franklin's national high school record in the 200-yard individual medley by more than half a second and she also broke state records en route to winning the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard freestyle individual state championships.
Jones recently took some time to chat with the Hockessin Community News about her recent accomplishments and what lies in the future for the record breaker.
Q Did you know going into the DIAA championships that the state records and the national record were within reach for you?
A Going in, I wanted to get the state record in all of them. But my big goal was the national record in the IM. I knew I was near it. So, why not try?
Q Were you surprised at your results?
A I trained a lot and trained very hard. To get that record it wasn't that much of a surprise. But it was kind of cool to see what I could accomplish with all my hard work.
Q States at the University of Delaware's Rawstrom Natatorium always gets really loud with teammates and coaches cheering you on. Does that really make a difference?
A It's always good to have your team's support. When I'm swimming in a race I really can't hear anything; I'm just focused on the race. But when you finish the race and you can hear the crowd cheering for you it's pretty cool.
Q How often do you swim? Is it a year round endeavor?
A It's year round – 11 ½ months of the year. I get two weeks off in August. So I'm always training.
Q What is next for you?
A I'll be headed to the University of Virginia to swim under Mark Bernardino and to reach new levels. I'm excited. It's a swimming scholarship. I only applied to Virginia in the fall. I took three recruiting trips to Texas, Sothern California and the University of Virginia. I just fell in love with Virginia – with the campus, the school, and the swim team. It has a great education program. It was just awesome.
Q Is it possible the events you normally swim in can change in college?
A It can definitely change in college. I'll probably be doing the same events but I'll be doing what's best for the team.
Q What would you say about the coaching you received?
A I had the same coach since I was 8, but I had a coaching change in the fall. It really put perspective things. I learned something about myself. I learned that life goes on. And you can still swim fast if you're having a bad day and have fun. I would have had to change coaches next year anyway. The coach I have now and the coach I had before were both excellent.
Q Did you enjoy competing with your sister at Tatnall?
A Yes, it was awesome. We had two years of being on the relays together. That was nice.

Strip-searched, hooded and kidnapped by a mysterious band of home-invaders (certainly terrorists, possibly Iranian) super-spy Carrie Mathison ended Sunday's episode of "Homeland" right where we need her.
On her own.
Five episodes into this reinvigorated series's third season, Showtime's "Homeland" seems finally to have ditched the tired Carrie/Brody romance and returned to its thriller roots.
The excellent Claire Danes had already bowled us over last week, when the show revealed that a major recent storyline — Carrie's national humiliation, the public decimation of her career and her confinement to a mental ward — was in fact a ruse designed to bait terrorists.
As conspiracy tales go, this one's a whopper, a perfect balance of cynicism (the CIA can't be trusted) and idealism (the CIA can work wonders).
As television, it's even better.
Like Bryan Cranston on the late, great "Breaking Bad" and the Jessica Lange-led cast of divas on "American Horror Story: Coven," Danes pushes the bedraggled, hysterical Carrie to the limit of our affections.
And she's not alone. Her chemistry with Mandy Patinkin's Saul Berenson is impeccable.
Damian Lewis, the show's ostensible male lead, has been featured in only one episode this season, and as good as the actor is, "Homeland" hasn't really missed his played-out Brody.
That could change, of course. "Homeland" is nothing if not surprising.
"Homeland" airs Sunday on Showtime at 9 p.m. EST.

Never underestimate the power of a juicy ham with a rakish hat.
NBC's "The Blacklist" is the fall's most popular new drama, with star James Spader lugging the show into that spot week after week.
Spader (who was a perfect foil for William Shatner on "Boston Legal") plays Raymond "Red" Reddington, TV's latest iteration of a Hannibal Lecter-esque sicko genius. (The network's dismal "Hannibal" returns in 2014).
While the supercilious, fedora-sporting Spader is an amusing knock-off of Anthony Hopkins's "Silence of the Lambs" creep, his affectless costar, Megan Boone, is no Jodie Foster.
Yet even a better actress — think Jennifer Carpenter of "Dexter" — would have trouble with the dim character concocted by "Blacklist" creator Jon Bokenkamp.
Here's an FBI profiler so clueless she's married to a possible killer and seems oddly incurious about the sudden interest coming her way from a criminal mastermind old enough to be ... her father.
So far, at least, the spotty "Blacklist" shows no intention of letting Agent Keen live up to her name.
— "The Blacklist" airs Monday on NBC at 10 p.m. EST.

The U.S. Department of Interior has requested Pottawatomie County commissioners resolve a matter involving 20 acres of county-owned property, which could be conveyed back to its original owner, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
The U.S. Department of Interior has requested Pottawatomie County commissioners resolve a matter involving 20 acres of county-owned property, which could be conveyed back to its original owner, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
The letter raises concern about the Mission Hill property at 1900 Gordon Cooper Drive, which was once part of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation reservation.
On that land sits the former Mission Hill Hospital building, which the county leases out for use by Saint Anthony Shawnee Hospital as a south campus, comprised of an urgent care clinic and a long-term care facility. The Pottawatomie County Health Department building also is located on the land site.
The letter shows the land was deeded to Pottawatomie County in 1959 on the condition that be used for a "school or other public purpose."
The letter reads that if the Secretary of the Interior determines that the grantee has failed to observe those provisions for at least one year, the Secretary may declare a forfeiture of the conveyance and title and then revert the land back to the United States, with such a determination made by the Secretary of the Interior being final.
"The Citizen Potawatomi Nation has submitted documentation, which, upon its face, appears to establish that the land subject to the 1959 deed is being used for commercial, non-public, purposes in violation of the terms and conditions of the deed," the letter reads.
Dated Dec. 31, 2012, and signed by the Assistant Secretary of the Interior Kevin Washburn, the letter shows the 19.87 acres is being reviewed.
Since a forfeiture of the conveyance would include a forfeiture of the improvements, the Assistant Secretary encourages both Pottawatomie County and CPN to resolve this matter in a manner that would compensate the county for the present value of the improvements made to the property while still protecting CPN's reversionary interest in the property.
"It would be in the best interest of the community, and therefore, both parties, to reach an amicable solution to this problem prior to a ruling by the United States Department of the Interior," the letter further reads.
The letter and overall issue was an agenda item during this week's county commission meeting, where the topic was discussed and the board asked District Attorney Richard Smothermon to further check into resolution of this matter through communications with all parties involved.
"We're in the beginning stages trying to see where as a county we stand," County Commissioner Melissa Dennis said, adding there are still many unanswered questions. She said she believes the property is being utilized for a public use, although any decisions regarding the property would be up to the commission.
In a written statement, CPN Chairman John A. Barrett said the tribe is aware of the Assistant Secretary of the Interior's advisements concerning the present use of the Mission Hill property.
Barrett said the former Indian school land is required under federal statute to be used for public purposes, such as a school, health department or public hospital, and if not, then be reverted back to the original owner, which is CPN.
"That is what the Department of Interior has advised the county to resolve," he said.
"The Citizen Potawatomi Nation has offered to buy the buildings from the Pottawatomie County commissioners and now offer to exchange equal valued property for the Mission Hill Hospital buildings, Barrett wrote, adding that is not required by the law. "Under federal law, the entire property is forfeited. We think the fair thing to do is pay Pottawatomie County for the improvements to the land. We are very willing for the County Health Department to stay or we will exchange a new building with the county for it, as well."
Chuck Skillings, president of St. Anthony Shawnee Hospital, issued a brief statement about the letter Wednesday saying, "At this time, we do not know what this means for St. Anthony Shawnee Hospital and the services housed at the south campus."
Smothermon said Wednesday night that since he's been requested to look into this matter, he's already been in preliminary discussions with all parties involved.
"Our goal is to make sure the investment that the county has made is protected," he said.
Smothermon said he feels all parties will be able to resolve this matter without court-related action, which would only cost money to county taxpayers.
Watch for further details and updates to this story.

Chris Weidman
TRAINING: I wake up and watch cartoons with my daughter, feed her, then myself, and then I'm out the door. Conditioning in the morning/sparring, Pads with Ray Longo and wrestling at Hofstra University/ jiu-jitsu at Serra's or Renzo's.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was helping some MMA fighters with their wrestling, then I got interested.
What ranks and titles have you held? Two-time Junior College All-American, two-time Division 1 All-American at Hofstra, NYS High School Wrestling Champion, 2007 CAA Wrestling Champion, NYS College Wrestling Champion, Ring of Combat Middleweight Champion, Grapplers Quest Absolute Division Champion, US Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion.
Do you have any heroes? Without a doubt, my hero is my father. I have seen him go through some pretty difficult things in his life with owning his own business and personally. He handles all situations with tact and respect for others. And if he was ever at fault, he had no problem owning up to it. I have always admired how he treated his employees and would give them the shirt off his back if they needed it, without thinking of himself. He has made it to almost every single one of my and my siblings' matches, games, school events, etc and he is probably the loudest, most emotional supporter in the stands. His love for our entire family and God is something I look to uphold in my own life.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I have set a lot of goals in my life, especially athletically. Some I have accomplished and others I wasn't able to. However, I can say that none of those matter now because fighting in the UFC was my ultimate goal and dream.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology as well as a master's in Physical Education
What was your job before you started fighting? Before I started fighting, I was an Assistant Wrestling Coach at Hofstra University and a full time graduate student.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? I was Grapplers Quest champion in my weight class and in the absolute division, with all 13 matches ending in submission. Abu Dhabi trials champion with submission win in the finals over a world champion.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? Ring of Combat Middleweight Champion, US Brazilian Jiu Jistu Champion 2009, ADCC Participant and Absolute Division ADCC Participant (referee chosen).
Favorite grappling technique: Armbar
Favorite striking technique: Hook

Dear Editor: The following is a letter to Representative Sires:
Dear Rep. Sires:
I can't count the numerous times I have written you and requested your having Town Hall meetings for your constituents in the NJ 8th Congressional District, but you have turned a deaf ear to the request. I and everyone I talk to, demand answers that we're not getting from all the congressional hearings on 1) Benghazi attack, 2) the IRS showing partiality by denying tax exemption status to some but not all groups, 3) the DOJ investigating the AP and reporters, 4) the NSA spying on 100 million Verizon customers, 5) the IRS spending over $50 Million on "Comedy" training videos while over 24 million people are out of work, 6) the EPA denying licensing to conservative groups, plus a whole list of unanswered questions that you are unwilling to answer. Your silence proves your complicity – if that fact is untrue, there is only one way to disprove your complicity in these government scandals – Town Hall meetings!
I urge everyone to call Rep. Sires and demand that he hold Town Hall meetings so we can get answers to all the scandals going on in D.C.: His D.C. number is 202-225-7919l WNY number is 201-558-0800
Sincerely disgusted with Congress,
John Amato

Try this product in this recipe
Classico Giusti (2 Gold Medal) Balsamic Vinegar IGP by Giuseppe Giusti
Out of stock.
Fine balsamic condiment with just a drop of Traditional Balsamic to give it balance...
Method: This fine balsamic vinegar comes from the classic recipe of the Giusti family.
High quality local grapes are cooked and combined with vintage wine vinegar to mature. It is finished with a generous addition of extra old Giusti Balsamic Vinegar, giving it the unmistakable Giusti flavor.
Characteristics: Lustrous brown syrup with a rich and persistent perfume and a firm flavor are the characteristics of this superior product. It is carefully balanced between sweet and sour, carrying a distinct bouquet of aroma.
Recommendations: Thanks to its perfume and balanced acidity, Giusti Medagliere is an ideal accompaniment to salads, raw vegetables, capriccio (raw sliced meats), shellfish, white and red meats.

We buy both the gold and red label balsamic from Avanti Savoia. We especially appreciate that they pack them VERY well, as that was an issue for us with another vendor. This balsamic has a pure flavor and is thinner and more tart than the red label (also cheaper), which is why my son prefers it. I have yet to sample a balsamic I like anywhere close to as much as these Giuseppe Giusti balsamics!

We all know that Modena produces the world's best balsamic vinegar, and this Gold Medal is hands-down the best flavor on the market for a reasonable price. The concentrated flavor is what I always used to try to achieve by reducing cheaper vinegars, but this is soooo much better! This should be in every cook's pantry for everyday use!

After my last bottle of this vinegar ran out, I tried to do the "smart" thing and buy a replacement at my local grocery store. I read all the labels and bought the one that soundest the best, at a fraction of the cost of this one. When I began using the replacement, my children complained about the dishes I used it in. "This tastes different! What's wrong?" I switched back. The comments are back to, "Mom, this is delicious!" I love this vinegar so much that I put it straight on a poached egg.

Jacks Jaunt Brings Tears, Transcends Sport
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
Josh Elliott covered all major sports for Sports Illustrated before moving to ESPN in 2004. He received his MA in Journalism from Columbia University in New York City, where he now anchors Good Morning America, a show that reached a milestone on March 25 with the most first-quarter total viewers in America. That was a first for ABC in 20 years, so please forgive Elliott for deliberately going over the top Monday morning when he introduced one of America's newest heroes – Jack Hoffman, the 7-year-old cancer patient who carved his name into Nebraska's football record book.
Elliott teased a joint appearance from Jack and his dad, Andy, Monday morning, saying ABC would be "talking to the greatest running back in Nebraska Cornhusker history" via Skype. Later, Elliott qualified his statement. "Never before has there been a play of the day so reflected," he said. "It might be the greatest sports moment of the year, and we'll be talking to the person who authored it." When Jack finally appeared on the screen with his dad from Atkinson, Neb., Elliott told the two that Jack's run had become a "national movement over the weekend" and, of course, he's right. Team Jack was so "national" that fans turned a #RollTide Twitter hashtag into #RollJack, plus new tags such as #GigEmJack, #HookEmJack, and on and on.
"National movement" is an accurate description, but let the record show that Jack Hoffman, Boy Wonder, goes beyond America's borders. The video of his inspired run has been seen around the world – from Croatia, Italy and Spain to the UK, Israel and Australia. Analytics are moving so fast, in fact, that our social media team cannot get a full demographic report on the YouTube video. We can, however, confirm that 26 countries have at least 100 views apiece of Jack's run. At least five countries have a minimum of 1,000 views each – the U.S., Canada, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Interestingly, fans from three Southeastern Conference schools (Texas A&M, LSU and Arkansas) and fellow Big Ten school Michigan have used their respective fan sites to honor Jack's "one moment in time" 69-yard touchdown … a run that's being heard – and seen – around the world.
Here are three quick examples that landed in my personal mailbox:
1) From Sweden: Anders Berghagen was so impressed with Jack's run, he plans to show it and discuss why it's important with his IK Frej Taby youth soccer team. "Jack, you set a new standard on how to act. I am extremely impressed and can see you scoring a touchdown in a real game someday," Berghagen wrote. "And Nebraska, you have a new Cornhusker fan here in Sweden! I am sending photos of my team and our fans as get well wishes for Jack."
2) From Australia: Frank Donnelly, coordinator of pre-registration programs for the School of Nursing at the University of Adelaide in Australia, wrote to congratulate Jack and the Huskers from Down Under. "Watching the video of young Jack Hoffman score his TD as a member of your team was one of the best moments I have ever seen in sports," Donnelly wrote. "It was moving and impressive, and an event like this is what makes America a great country."
3) From Canada: Brian Haynes lives in Delhi, Ontario, Canada. "Kudos to the entire Nebraska team and coaching staff and especially to Rex Burkhead for his leadership," Haynes wrote. "Watching that video was so touching because the team and the entire university have rallied around this brave little boy. To be in the stands for that run had to be the single biggest thrill for any Husker fan anywhere. Little Jack, you're a star in more ways than one!"
Nebraska Associate Athletic Director Jamie Williams agrees. "Jack's jaunt brought tears to my eyes," said Williams, a former Husker tight end who became a co-captain and a Super Bowl champion with the San Francisco 49ers. "All the emails we've received and the all the media coverage we've had truly illustrate that sport is a vehicle that can transcend itself. It can illuminate the spirit and highlight the greatness of humanity. I'm proud to be a Husker, and I'm like every Husker fan and all of our new fans coming aboard across the country and around the world. Every time we watch that video, we say 'Run, Jack, Run!'"
Indeed. Huskers.com and The N-Sider have received emails that reinforce Williams' big-picture view of an impromptu decision to honor Little Jack for his courage, his confidence and his friendship with Burkhead, one of the most dedicated, inspirational and popular players in Nebraska football history. Stay tuned. We're still sorting through all the feedback, so don't be surprised when you learn that fans supporting some of Nebraska's biggest rivals are now Husker fans, too, thanks to Jack Hoffman, Boy Wonder.

Team Jack Views from Global Fans
You just never can tell. You reach the ripe old age of 70 and think you've seen just about everything once (and maybe twice). Being a transplanted Husker living in the far away land of Wales, you get on the net to see how the Spring Game went. You know, seeing how the new QB's are shaking out, if the untested linebackers have bite, how the no-name tight ends are doing, and, oh, has anybody turned up at defensive tackle?. Then stone the crows. A 7-year-old kid who has absorbed more knocks than most of us get in a lifetime takes a handoff and runs 69 yards. One hundred years of Husker history chanting 'Go Big Red' is out window and replaced by a new chant of 'Run Jack Run!' Sometimes sport mimics life. Sometimes sport is life. But only rarely is sport greater than life, transcending the human experience. Jack Hoffman has taught me I haven't seen everything yet. GO HUSKERS! I MEAN, RUN JACK RUN! James Weaver, Powys, Wales, UK
Thanks so much for the excellent update on the Team Jack story! My husband and I have been Husker fans for a long time. So we've been watching the growth of Team Jack via football and the Husker sites ever since Rex started this great support idea of kids with cancer. We've been praying for Jack and his family. We live in Japan and the Internet has sure made it easier to follow the Huskers now compared to when we first moved here in 1988. Back then, we had to wait 10 days for cut-outs from the OWH Sunday sports page to arrive in our mailbox. We think that the NU coaching personnel and players who devised this plan and pulled it off deserve not only a huge cheer of gratitude, but we hope that this will also mean more funds will be donated to the foundation to funnel toward research for cures. Jack and his family are an incredible inspiration and the deep faith that keeps them fighting the battle day after day shows how personal it is for them. We couldn't be more proud of our Huskers! Japanese know very little about American football but I am trying to figure out how I can work some of this video and story into my ESL classes in the weeks to come. Sincerely, Kathy Trim (and Murray Trim), Hyogo Ken, Japan
I saw the video of Little Jack's fantastic run. I have been hit by the story cause my child is 6 years old. We thank God that we could see our son running. Unluckily, I and my wife know a tragedy like this. A friend of ours has a child (3 years old) with a very rare disease and hopeless illness. We together have to do anything to fight this war against these pathologies and defeat them. Doing what you've done, you have won a battle. The road is still long, but now, thanks to the Nebraska Cornhusker Team, i hope, a few less will suffer. Continue this way. Be proud of your guys. Be proud of Jack. Marco A. Bianchi, Bellano (Lake of Como), Italy
As a proud Class of '79 alumni and a lifelong Husker fan, I can say I have never been prouder to call myself a HUSKER than I was after watching Jack Hoffman's 69-yard touchdown run. I will continue to wear with even more pride my Nebraska hats and sweatshirts and be the biggest Nebraska fan in Southeast China. Vic Carter, Qingyuan, China

A former Oxford professor offers a lively introduction famous and little-known poems
Good Companions: A Personal Anthology. By John Bayley. Little, Brown/Abacus, 246 pp., $9.95, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
Most poetry collections pose one of two problems for the casual reader: They have no commentary, now matter how inscrutable their poems may be, or they are textbooks that are full of commentary but too dry and academic to interest most nonscholars.
John Bayley's Good Companions is the rare anthology that finds the perfect balance between those extremes. This compact paperback – just the right size for a briefcase or nighttable – consists of good short poems or snippets from novels, letters and diaries of the past three centuries. But it has far more poems than prose, and with good reason: Though Bayley is too diplomatic to say so, this is where most people need help, and he provides it superbly.
Bayley doesn't try to supply a comprehensive introduction to each poem but instead offers a few insightful and opinionated lines that focus on whatever he finds most interesting about it. Sometimes that's a bit of context, such as when he writes of Lord Rochester's "A Song of a Young Lady to Her Ancient Lover":
"The ancient person was probably no more than forty-five. Rakes and dissipated young men, as Rochester certainly was, thought of themselves as completely worn out at an age which people today would consider the prime of life."
Elsewhere Bayley notes a strength or weakness of a poem, or an especially interesting idea that it raises. He admires Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish," in which the speaker catches a valiant fish but releases it after seeing five earlier fish hooks "grown firmly in his mouth." But for all his admiration, Bayley wonders: "Perhaps the end is a bit too much of a pat on the back for the poet?"
That gentle question exemplifies the conversational tone of the book, its greatest charm. After decades as a professor at Oxford, Bayley might have claimed a Zeus-like right to fling thunderbolts of erudition down from Olympus. Instead he invites you to take part in a lively dialogue about some of his favorite poems. And if you accept, you're likely to find that some of his selections become your favorites, too.
Best line: Bayley's shows his gift for summing up a poem in a few deft sentences in his brief comment on Thomas Hardy's "The Self-Unseeing": "Hardy at his most moving, and also at his most cannily perceptive. When children are really most happy, and indeed when grown-ups are too, they are very seldom aware of the fact. Perfect happiness is not a state in which self-awareness plays a part." The last lines of Hardy's poem bear him out: "Childlike, I danced in a dream; / Blessings emblazoned that day; / Everything glowed with a gleam; / Yet we were looking away!"
Worst line: Bayley includes Blake's "The Tyger" but punts on the commentary: "What is there to say about the Tyger?"
Published: 2002 Little Brown/Abacus www.littlebrown.co.uk. [I discovered this book this summer at a large Borders store, shelved somewhat oddly in the memoirs section, next to Bayley's Elegy for Iris, so you may find it in a spot other than the poetry aisle.]
Furthermore: Bayley also wrote Elegy for Iris www.picadorusa.com, a memoir of his marriage to the novelist Iris Murdoch and her descent into Alzheimer's Disease.

VA adds 1,000 mental health professionals to staff
By KEVIN FREKINGAssociated Press
The VA needs to add about 550 more doctors, nurses and counselors by June 30 to comply with the executive order.
The VA announced new hiring goals in the spring, just days before an inspector general's report found the department had greatly overstated how quickly it provided mental health care to veterans seeking help. Obama expanded on that goal in August as both presidential candidates were reaching out to veterans in the heat of an election campaign. He also directed the VA to increase the capacity of its telephone crisis line by 50 percent and to ensure that a mental health professional contact within 24 hours any veteran who identifies themselves as in crisis.
The House Veterans' Affairs Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday to examine what progress the VA has made in its hiring program and in other mental health initiatives.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said the VA would not be slowing down in its effort to increase staffing. The new hires include psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and licensed counselors and therapists, although there was not an exact breakdown for each category.
"We still need to hire more mental health professionals to reach our goal, but each new hire means we can treat more veterans and provide greater access to our mental health services," Shinseki said.
The VA also said it was still working on hiring and training 800 veterans to work as "peer specialists" on the VA's mental health teams. Some veterans are more comfortable reaching out to peers who have shared their experiences in serving during wartime. The peer staff is expected to be completely hired by Dec. 31.
The number of veterans getting mental health treatment from the VA has risen from about 927,000 in 2006 to more than 1.3 million in 2012.

Pieces of Rare Biblical Manuscript Reunited

Two parts of an ancient biblical manuscript separated across centuries and continents were reunited for the first time in a joint display Friday, thanks to an accidental discovery that is helping illuminate a dark period in the history of the Hebrew Bible.
The 1,300-year-old fragments, which are among only a handful of Hebrew biblical manuscripts known to have survived the era in which they were written, existed separately and with their relationship unknown, until a news photograph of one's public unveiling in 2007 caught the attention of the scholars who would eventually link them.
Together, they make up the text of the Song of the Sea, sung by jubilant Israelites after fleeing slavery in Egypt and witnessing the destruction of the pharaoh's armies in the Red Sea.
"The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My lust shall be satisfied upon them, I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them,'" reads the song, which appears in the Book of Exodus. "Thou didst blow thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters."
An exhibit at Israel's national museum dedicated to the Song of the Sea is now bringing together the two long-separated pieces.
One page of the song, known as the Ashkar manuscript, was previously housed in a rare books library at Duke University in North Carolina and was first displayed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in 2007.
That's when a photograph of the manuscript in a local newspaper caught the eye of two Israeli paleographers, Mordechay Mishor and Edna Engel, who noticed it resembled a different page of Hebrew writing known as the London manuscript, presently part of the private collection of Stephan Loewentheil of New York.
"The uniformity of the letters, the structure of the text, and the techniques used by the scribe ... it made it very clear to me," Engel said.
The relationship would not be so clear to a casual observer. The Ashkar manuscript has been so blackened by exposure to the elements that the text is all but invisible, while the London manuscript is legible and far better preserved. But after close study of ultraviolet images, the experts were able to confirm that the texts were not only written by the same scribe, but were also part of the same scroll.
Scholars believe the scroll was written around the seventh century somewhere in the Middle East, possibly in Egypt. It is not known how the two parts were separated or what happened to the rest of the manuscript.
The museum arranged to have the London manuscript brought to Jerusalem. The new exhibit chronicles how the Song of the Sea was written through various ancient manuscripts, from the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls to the manuscript known as the Aleppo Codex, written nearly a millennium later.
The reunification of the two pieces adds an important link in the chain, showing how the writing of the Hebrew Bible evolved through the so-called "silent" period between the third and 10th centuries from which nearly no Biblical texts survived. While in the Dead Sea Scrolls the song is arranged like prose, for example, in the newly reunited manuscript it is written like a poem, the same way it appears in the Hebrew Bible today.
The manuscripts are "filling the gap," said Israel Museum curator Adolfo Roitman. "We can see we are dealing with a tradition that is still alive."
The museum exhibit displays the manuscripts along with other depictions of the Song of the Sea from the museum's permanent collection, including artistic renderings of the biblical passages in frescoes and Renaissance paintings and recordings of the song as it is chanted by Jews in different communities worldwide.

Last month's silver screen stars
May 2009
Well known for simple, straightforward action (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger), in "12 Rounds" director Renny Harlin does it again: Young cop Danny Fisher is forced into a dangerous race for his girlfriend's life, when a criminal whom he once caught is out for vengeance blaming Fisher for the death of his girlfriend in the chase. With a twisted appetite for competition he stages a wicked game, in which the cop has to confront twelve challenges and the stakes are high for everybody involved – "if you're still standing after 12 rounds you've won her back".
Ten years back a peaceful and quaint little town provided the setting for a cannibalistic massacre between trapped miners and more brutal murders. Now the horror returns when a young man, who as a teenager was one of the survivors, visits his hometown on Valentine's Day. Although "My Bloody Valentine 3D" seems to convey the feeling of Scorpionic terror, fans of the slasher genre – the original "My Bloody Valentine" from 1981 being a genre classic – will probably thoroughly enjoy and relish the slaughter-scenes enacted with sensuous pleasure, thus emphasizing the Taurus-side of the axis.
"One fabulous game of Trivial Pursuit" leading man Tom Hanks called "Angels & Demons", the second adaptation of a Dan Brown bestseller, accurately describing the tone of this roughly cut story about murdering cardinals and an old mysterious organization of enlightened artists and scholars, about physics, a dangerous new technology and the age-old feud between science and church, which points us to the Gemini-Sagittarius-axis with its conflict between the pure accumulation of information and the claim of meaningful knowledge. The bustling gathering and hectic decipherment of signs and symbols, which is the protagonists' main preoccupation and giving the movie the feel of a scavenger hunt, is emphasizing Gemini-energy.
"The Uninvited" is a "family film" of a special, Scorpio sort, a kind of modern fairy tale about an evil stepmother – and thus mainly a Cancer-movie. The mother of two teenage girls died and when the younger one, who was under psychiatric treatment after the loss of her mum, returns from the hospital, hoping for a secure and caring family life, she has to confront not only spooky apparitions but also the mother's former nurse, who in the meantime married the girls' father. A brutal fight ensues between the girls and their hard, relentless and ambitious Capricorn-antagonist…
Movies about music or about people devoted to music almost always have a strong Leo-quality since music and dancing have always been a basic means of expressing oneself and one's feelings from exuberant joy to deepest grief. The documentary "El último aplauso" ("The last applause") is not a glamorous film but it captures exactly this role music has, and it offers us the opportunity to share what that instrument of self-expression means for a group of Tango-singers in Buenos Aires. Once more they want to perform for the audience of their former workplace, Argentina's most famous Tango-bar "Bar El Chino" and evoke the glory of days past.
In "Die wunderbare Welt der Waschkraft" ("The fabulous world of washing efficiency") again a film deals with the Virgo-motif of washing and cleaning, though this time the documenting glance focuses as well on the individual stories of the Polish washwomen as on the complex economic relations between German high-class hotels and Polish laundries.
Once again Libra is represented by one of those typically easy-going and stylish romantic comedies. "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" also has some repressed emotions and Cancerian fairy-tale motifs like well-meaning ghosts and further a seemingly inevitable Saturnian morality concerning the basic Libra-art of truly getting involved with the "Other" (which so far has been changed rapidly by the protagonist), which means learning to appreciate its independent perspective, instead of solely using it – or rather: them – as an aid to the own Ego. It's the whole Cardinal Cross (pun intended) – Libra-fulfillment drawing on Cancer and Capricorn to replace Aries-egoism…
"Last House on the Left" is another Scorpionic family film. This time though, the Scorpio-quality is clearly emphasized, since it is all about the ability for cruel and brutal vengefulness. After torturing two young girls and almost killing both, three violent criminals and the leader's teenage son unknowingly seek refuge in the isolated vacation home of one of the girls' parents. When the severely injured and barely surviving girl is found by her parents and they understand that they are housing the offenders, the formerly harmless vacationers think of gruesome ways to let the criminals bleed for their deeds.
How a young hoodlum turns into the courageous captain of a space-ship exploring new galaxies and how the voyages of the Enterprise could have begun, that is the story "Star Trek", the prequel to all Star Trek movies and the TV show, tells us. Throughout various generations of "Star Trek" horizons were widened and with tolerance and a thirst for knowledge new worlds were discovered, but now we witness the first encounter between combative Kirk and cool Vulcan Spock. Nevertheless Spock's words have always clearly pointed out the Enterprise's Sagitterian mission: "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before."
With bare and naturalistic cinematography "Boy A" tells the story of a young man, who is striving to start anew after serving a 14-year sentence for the murder of a little girl. The sentence is served, responsibility and guilt are accepted, even some sort of redemption seems possible, when he happens to save a little girl's life. But this good deed alerts the media of his past and thus endangers his own fragile, newly built life. Social reintegration and responsibility, guilt and expiation are the weighty Capricorn-issues this small film is dealing with.
At first glance a story about a patchwork-family in French working class milieu, "Ricky" turns out to be a whimsical genre-mix and sort of a superhero-movie about being different. A single mother and factory worker falls in love with a co-worker and a child is born. When the baby shows inexplicable bruises, conflict is programmed and the pair separates. Yet soon it turns out that Ricky was in no way abused by his father, but that he is growing wings… A flying baby in a contemporary satellite town? Francois Ozon's unusual and odd film shows us what this could look like.
When a movie is titled "The Limits of Control" it seems quite obvious to assume some Pisces-quality. When you can hardly tell what it is about, when the images consistently appear dreamy and slightly surreal and throughout the film you are wondering, if you're following a fractured reality, a dream or a trip through the collective unconscious, and when furthermore sentences like "everything is imagined" are spoken, then the assumption is confirmed. Aquarian Jim Jarmusch has been experimenting again and with a notable ensemble (Tilda Swinton especially is fabulous!) a film history's mystery play full of spiritual truisms came to be, calling for a revolution of perception (Uranus in Pisces!).
Vesna Ivkovic studied literature and linguistics, sociology, philosophy and history and as well took a profound interest in psychology, mythology and different belief systems. Along the way she also explored various paths of body awareness such as the martial arts of Kung Fu, Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong and several other methods of body work and motion arts. In 1993 she discovered astrology as an instrument of knowledge and graduated in 2004 in Markus Jehle's and Petra Niehaus' master class at the Astrology Center Berlin. You can find out more about the author and her work on her own website www.astrosemiotics.de
The Cinemascope is meant to give an overview of current movies and their main themes from an astrosemiotical perspective (i.e.: regarding film as semiotic system and translating it into the astrological semiotic system). A well made movie not only has a story and a certain theme, it also provides a special atmosphere, a certain feeling and it draws us into its very own world. This basic quality that is contrived through characters, plot, setting and many other components also translates into one or more astrological principles. Quite simply: a fast-paced action-flick confronts us with plain Aries energy, a horror-movie evokes Scorpio-like abysmal depths and fears etc. We step out of the theatre and – if the film succeeded in sucking us in – find ourselves dwelling on and engaging in that special energetic quality.

Front Range Community College graduates tend to be a tough bunch. There's the single parents, the wounded war veterans, even the folks who went from the street to a degree.
For teacher Elizabeth McClelland, it came down to one image.
"Cockroaches," she said, to laughter from Wednesday night's crowd at Vance Brand Civic Auditorium. "They do whatever they have to do to survive. And they'll make it. You can't stop them. A nuclear bomb can't stop them. So when I look at our FRCC graduates, I think of cockroaches."
More laughter, applause.
"Cute little cockroaches," she amended, smiling.
Almost 90 "cockroaches" crossed the stage Wednesday night to claim degrees that often took a lot of surviving. One of the harder-fought ones was Doug Branstetter's, who, 10 years ago, was evicted from his home while recovering from a stroke at the VA hospital.
The eviction was the result of an identity theft, he said. But from there, the one-time muffler shop owner had his cars impounded, his personal goods left on the curb (some never seen again) and — to cap things off — a second stroke when Branstetter came back to his home in a fury.
"My landlord found me face down on the sidewalk in the rain," he said. "He grabbed me and yelled 'If I ever see you on my property, I will have you arrested.'"
"That identity theft just about killed me," he said.
Branstetter came back with the help of the OUR Center and the Rev. Sandy Steward, who acted as his caseworker. Then, eight years ago and still living in the park , he campaigned before the City Council to let the OUR Center start a homeless shelter. Four years ago, on the advice of counselors, he enrolled at Front Range himself, despite being unable to read or write.
"It has been exciting," he said, laughing.
It took a lot of work from everyone, Branstetter admitted. Students tutored him, teachers worked with him, a 101-year-old neighbor called him every morning just to keep him going.
On Wednesday, it meant he got to graduate with his youngest daughter, Katherine Ann. ("We made it," she shouted as they both emerged from Skyline High School.) And now that he's got an associate's degree in hand, he's got a taste for education — he's going on to Metro State to get a degree in social work.
"My life's so much better now that I work with the OUR Center," he said. "My children are looking up to me. It's awesome."
Teacher Merrill Glustrom, known to the school as "Dr. G.," noted just how many other cases of struggle the school could boast. A short list included two students who had been wounded in Afghanistan, one by a roadside bomb, one by enemy fire; a woman whose husband had died in an accident on the first day of class, leaving her a single mother; and a second-generation Mexican immigrant who earned the highest score on Glustrom's final.
In some cases, it was the simplest things that changed lives. Graduate Heidi Silvers came back to school for the first time since her Skyline High School diploma 28 years ago because of a fortune cookie.
"I had sent my kids to college," Silvers said. "I was at a crossroads in my life, eating a Chinese dinner and got a fortune cookie that said 'The pursuit of knowledge begins with the turning of a page.'"
"It changed my life forever," Silvers said, and smiled. "The lucky numbers didn't pan out."

It was shock and disappointment Tuesday night for the Clarkfield City Council as upheaval came with the concurrent revelations that Care Center Administrator Paul Luitjens had been terminated and newly elected councilwoman Erin Crosby may no longer be able to serve on the city council.
It was shock and disappointment Tuesday night for the Clarkfield City Council as upheaval came with the concurrent revelations that Care Center Administrator Paul Luitjens had been terminated and newly elected councilwoman Erin Crosby may no longer be able to serve on the city council.
The first bombshell came during the Care Center's monthly report when Ecumen Regional Director Carol Kvidt approached the council rather than and without Luitjens. She announced that as early as that morning Ecumen (the non-profit company that manages Clarkfield Care Center) and Luitjens had "parted ways".
Kvidt continued saying that an interim administrator named Mike Miller would be installed as soon as Wednesday and a replacement for Luitjens would be found in about three to four months.
Pressed for a reason why Luitjens would be let go, Kvidt spent more time on the reasons Luitjens was not fired. "This is not a result of any misconduct on Paul's part. It's nothing criminal, or anything that could cause any trouble for the city," said Kvidt.
In answering questions after she left the council table, Kvidt gave Ecumen's statement in regards to Luitjen's termination saying, "It is due to leadership and Paul's fit with Ecumen."
Bafflingly, Ecumen's announcement comes while Clarkfield and Ecumen are negotiating a new management contract for the Clarkfield Care Center.
Those negotiations have been going on since Ecumen presented the council with a new contract over a month ago. Since then the council has reviewed the new contract (with the old contract running out on April 1), made adjustments and additions and are about to send their changes back to Ecumen for review.
Areas of the contract the council is adjusting include Ecumen's management fees, right-of-termination and information transparency. Prior to Luitjens firing, the biggest obstacle to renewing the contract appeared to be Ecumen's valuation of assisted living and home health care, as currently, the city loses money on both programs.
As for Luitjen's replacement, Kvidt assured the council that the compensation for that replacement will be less than what Luitjens was paid, or at least budget neutral when Luitjen's severance is factored in.
After Kvidt had left the council continued discussion. "I don't like the smell of this," commented councilmen Scott Vold.
In review of the contract, the council was informed that they have say on all Care Center employees besides Luitjens. In his work for Ecumen, Luitjens also administrated the nursing facility in Balaton.
Clarkfield Mayor Gene Kockelmen reported that he learned of Luitjens termination roughly 10:00 a.m. Tuesday morning after a call from Kvidt.
As a couple of Clarkfield citizens questioned the council on the matter, Neil Linscheid responded saying, "We understand that you support and like Paul, we do too. But, at this point, it seems that it's an employment matter between Ecumen and Paul. While we're in the middle of it, I don't think we have a lot of say."
Jeff Lobdell, there to advise the council on other matters, also spoke up, "Speaking now just as a citizen, I'm really surprised by Ecumen's actions with Paul. I thought he did a great job and he's a big part of this community. I just don't get this."
Furthering, the confusion is the situation with Crosby, which is also tied to the Ecumen contract review.
Crosby is an employee of the Care Center. After her election to the council by write-in ballot, the council questioned her validity to serve on the council while also technically a city employee (as the Care Center is owned by the city). Yet an opinion from City Attorney David Gilbertson, at that time, said that Crosby was eligible because Ecumen managed the site. However, as the council and city administration reviewed the Ecumen contract for the renewal negotiations, they found the section that detailed employment (the same section that states Luitjens is an Ecumen employee) and found that the city is technically responsible for every Care Center employee but Luitjens.
After reviewing the contract Gilbertson reversed his opinion.
State statute 410.191, which was ammended as recently as 2010, and is concerned with city council members and city employment states: "Notwithstanding any charter provision, neither the mayor nor any city council member may be employed by the city. For purposes of this section, "employed" refers to full-time permanent employment as defined by the city's employment policy."
In both regards to Luitjens and Crosby, it will most likely be weeks before everything is cleared up. Though while the Crosby situation may remain up in the air, there appears to be little the city can do in regards to Luitjens.
The question of Crosby's eligibility will remain at the top of the council's agenda for at least several weeks. The Ecumen contract will next be reviewed, with Kvidt attending the April 16 meeting.
