Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
Klamath water still hot topic
Five years later, basin remains a sore spot for fishers, farmers
By Dylan
Darling, Record Searchlight
The rusty old hand-crank head gates at the start of the Klamath Reclamation Project are long gone, replaced by a state-of-the-art, $16 million concrete and steel behemoth that keeps endangered sucker fish out of the canals that bring irrigation water to farms in the Klamath Basin.
But five years after the federal government's decision not to open the old gates at the start of the 2001 irrigation season to save the water for protected suckers and salmon, contentious water issues remain. Despite five years of talk and change, parties on opposing sides of the Klamath water issue agree that 2001 could happen again.
"Since 2001, we have been able to irrigate, but the problem is still there," said Greg Addington, executive director of the Klamath Water Users Association, which represents 1,400 farmers in the basin. "I still think there is kind of a black cloud hanging over here."
Although a wet winter may be giving the upper basin a pass from controversy, a tempest is brewing on the lower Klamath River, which drains the basin's water into the Pacific Ocean. Low native chinook salmon counts could cause a federal fishery management council to close commercial and recreational salmon fishing in federal waters off 700 miles of California and Oregon coast.
Like the farmers' growing season in 2001, the anglers' salmon season hangs on the decision of the Pacific Fishery Management Council, which is expected late today or Friday.
"Frankly, we know what it feels like," Addington said.
On April 6, 2001, the Bureau of Reclamation announced that no water would be flowing through the Klamath Project's canals from Upper Klamath Lake, its main reservoir. The 2001 water shutoff drew national media attention as the farmers and their supporters camped out at the head gates, at one point breaking them open. Since then, the word Klamath has become synonymous with water controversy, with Interior Secretary Gale Norton saying the federal government doesn't want another Klamath.
Some things have changed in the basin since 2001. In a major shift, stakeholders now sit down at negotiation tables instead of waging legal battles, said Dave Sabo, Klamath Project manager for the Bureau of Reclamation.
"People recognize what happened in 2001 was a landmark issue, it changed how a lot of things were done in the Klamath basin," he said.
To quell controversy in the basin, which straddles the California-Oregon border about two-and-a-half hours northeast of Redding, the federal government has poured money into it since 2001. The new head gates, finished in 2003, are just the start. President's Bush 2005 budget alone called for more than $100 million for habitat restoration, water improvement projects and other programs in the basin.
Since 2002, $17 million has gone to pay farmers to switch from project water to groundwater, pump their groundwater into project canals or let their fields go fallow during growing season, from April to mid-October. The decrease in demand by the irrigators leaves more water for the salmon.
This year, the bureau has contracts worth $7.3 million with farmers to change water use for more than 40,000 acres. Of that, $1.4 million will be spent to keep 15,250 acres dry.
This year, five years and millions of dollars after the Klamath crisis, the biggest difference from 2001 is something federal money can't buy -- there's been a change in the weather. While 2001 was dry and fields were parched, 2006 has been wet and fields are muddy -- so muddy that farmers have delayed planting onions, potatoes and other basin staples.
Although farming should make it through another summer in the basin, things still are in a fragile state.
"If we had another year where the hydrology was the same, we'd have a real challenge there," said Jeff McCracken, bureau spokesman. "It's a matter of high demand for fishery purposes and little water for anything else."

The Capital Campaign:
Community Action has launched a capital campaign to meet the growing needs of our community!
Last year, Community Action helped nearly 30,000 hard-working individuals and families find tools and support to get out of poverty while mobilizing more than 3,000 volunteers. Yet, as the gap widens between housing expenses and local wages, we saw a 21% increase in service needs from 2015 to 2016. We need the right-sized building to address the size of the issues in our community, and we're kicking off our campaign to purchase and renovate a new services center in Skagit County at 160 Cascade Place in Burlington, WA.
You can support our capital campaign here!
The new services center will expand programs and services to help more people in Skagit County in the following ways:
Some other services in our new services center include:
Community Action is committed to developing a more ideal facility to best serve our community and has located an existing building that meets not only the current needs but also allows a space to 'grow into' over the next 20 years. After more than two years of search, we have a letter of intent on a facility at 160 Cascade Place in Burlington, approximately 1.3 miles from our current location. The new building offers nearly 27,000 square feet of service space in a central and easily accessible location. The facility is structurally sound, requires only modest renovations to meet service-delivery needs, and is a cost effective solution—at approximately $160/square foot to purchase and renovate compared to $200-$250/square foot for new construction.

With drinkMAPLE, Kate Weiler, MS'13, and her business partner have introduced America to the naturally hydrating benefits of maple water.
Kate Weiler and her business partner realize they didn't give themselves much time to launch their product, but they're certainly making up for lost time.
Weiler, who graduated from Northeastern with a master's degree in Applied Nutrition, is cofounder of drinkMAPLE, a "naturally refreshing" pure water tapped each spring from maple trees in northern Vermont.
"When most people think of what comes out of maple trees, they know that the liquid is usually boiled off to make syrup and candy," Weiler said. "But this is a tremendously refreshing water that's packed with nutrients, and it's a resource that's right here in our trees."
Weiler, an ironman triathlete who had previously run a private sports nutrition practice, stumbled upon pure maple water while competing in an ironman event in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada in fall 2013.
"It was delicious, refreshing, hydrating, and nutritious," Weiler said. "Jeff [Rose] and I spent the next several months really thinking about the possibility of developing the product. There wasn't anything like it in the United States, and we both thought it could be something big."
But any chances of a patient, measured approach in bringing the product to market were dashed when they heard about two U.S.-based competitor preparing to launch their own maple water products.
"We had been giving it some thought for a good few months but in December 2013 we started Googling and cold-calling," Weiler said. "Here we were, two entrepreneurs with absolutely no beverage experience looking to launch this product. But we said, 'We're doing it,' and we just knew it was the right decision. The two of us don't overthink things."
When warmer temperatures arrived in late winter/early spring 2014, Weiler and Rose tapped trees in Vermont's Franklin County.
"There's five or six weeks when the thaw starts. It's a very short season," Weiler said.
But they were ready, and Weiler and Ross had drinkMAPLE on the shelves at 37 Whole Foods Markets in August 2014. They secured contracts with Stop & Shop and Giant Foods in October 2015, bringing their product to 650 more stores, and in May the Kroger grocery chain, the largest in the county, will begin carrying drinkMAPLE.
A year ago, Weiler and Rose shifted their manufacturing operations from suburban Boston to St. Albans, Vermont, where there's no shortage of maple trees. The company now has six full-time employees.
"It's exciting to see the growth," said Weiler, who also recently published a book titled "Real Fit Kitchen: Fuel Your Body, Improve Energy, and Increase Strength with Every Meal," with Red Sox nutritionist Tara Mardigan. "And it's absolutely surreal to walk into a store and see drinkMAPLE on the shelves. I can't believe how far we've come in such a short time."

By On Sep 29, 2018 Resume Templates
The section is the core of your resume, where you are tasked with proving the skills you have listed in the qualifications summary or career objective. When it comes to labeling this section some use "Relevant Experience," or "Work Experience" as an alternative to "Professional Experience." Remember to list your work experiences in reverse chronological order and only list experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for. For each company create a heading including the company's name, city & state, your title, and the dates of employment (month and year). If you are still currently working at a company, you can simply write "month, year-Present" for the employment dates.
Having a solid education section helps to display the foundation of your knowledge and expertise. Depending on your professional experience, you may want to consider switching the order of the professional experience and education sections. For instance, college or high school students that lack seasoned professional experience benefit from emphasizing their education by placing it before the professional experience section. In addition, if you possess a wealth of professional experience then it is appropriate to keep this section short and sweet.
The certifications section is the most important of the other sections you can include, but adding a certifications or licenses section is largely dependent on your industry. For example, the nursing field has strict licensing requirements while the customer service sector does not. If your industry requires certifications the hiring manager will be intent on finding them in your application. Make sure to thoroughly research your industry to find any relevant certifications or licenses you may have missed.

text: Share: Comments Print August 3, 2009 at 10:16 AM Stratton at Spinasse: "I feel like I've won the lottery" Posted by Nancy Leson It's been a year since Spinasse made its much heralded debut. Back then, celebrated pasta-maker Justin Neidermeyer — dubbed "a boyish Pavarotti"— presided in a kitchen built to remind him, and those who came to taste his wares, of his beloved Piedmont. Neidermeyer has since taken his last curtain call, his sights set on a return to Italy, and today Spinasse's kitchen is firmly in the hands of Jason Stratton, who was there in the Capitol Hill cascina at the start. Jason Stratton: now the creative artist in the kitchen at Spinasse. When Stratton returned from six months in Spain to take a job at the as-yet-unopened Poppy, Neidermeyer called on his friend to lend a hand. "He asked me to come on as kind of a consultant and set up his kitchen systems," recalls Stratton, 29, who began his career as Bruce Naftaly's dishwasher at Le Gourmand, later worked as a line-cook at the late Avenue One and eventually landed at Holly Smith's Cafe Juanita — where he rose to second-in-command during his nearly five-year tenure in Kirkland. "It was hard for me to leave Spinasse in the first place," Stratton said, remembering those heady days "in that magical space" where he assisted in the kitchen and dining room, curated Spinasse's Italian wine list and formatted the menu. "I did a little bit of everything for the first few months." Stratton remembers watching as the restaurant took shape, the rustic communal-tables coming through the door where they were stained, the wine bottles he'd chosen lined up along the walls, the camaraderie in the kitchen. "I had my heart in it," he said, "but I was committed to Jerry [Traunfeld]." And when he heard the silent partners who's backed Neidermeyer were looking to replace him, Stratton followed his heart. "I feel like I've won the lottery," he said of his chance to run the kitchen at Spinasse. "For what I've wanted to do, for what I've envisioned for myself, this is exactly what I want." On his friend's leave-taking, he notes, "Justin wasn't really looking to be running a kitchen on a daily basis. He wanted to step out and do some projects on his own." Stepping in to take his place "was a perfect fit for me," said Stratton. Justin Neidermeyer making agnolotti last summer, at Spinasse. "This is the first kitchen where I'm 100 percent in charge," said Stratton. "At Poppy, a lot of the dishes were mine, and I had a lot of creative control over the menu, but ultimately it was Jerry's kitchen and if he didn't like dish, he'd get rid of it." "Jason is an amazingly creative guy, and he has this really great understanding about what flavors work together," said Traunfeld, who hired the young chef sight-unseen when Stratton contacted him via e-mail from Spain. It was Stratton who came up with the idea of serving chickpea-coated eggplant fries at Poppy. And it's Stratton whose expertise the James Beard Award-winning chef depended on when it came to learning line-cook lingo after 17 years at the Herbfarm. "Order. Set. Fire. Pick up. I didn't even know the language," Traunfeld admits. Stratton, some 20 years his junior, most certainly did. "A great chef or great cook is born with something in them that knows how to make food taste good," notes Traunfeld. "It's not about technique. Some people can just make things taste delicious, and he's one of those guys." "Jason is the kind of person people want to work for — and with," said Holly Smith. Having traveled extensively in Italy and honed his craft in her Northern Italian kitchen, "his knowledge of the food is impeccable. He's passionate about Italian food." What's more, she insists, "He's the whole package: someone who gets the front of house as well as the back." In the two months since he's come on at Spinasse, there's been many changes in both the front and back of the house, Stratton said. Managing the dining room and keeping the books is Michael Galloway. "We came on about the same time, and we're definitely looking to change what Spinasse has been." "Before, it was Justin's vision to represent the standards of a Piedmontese trattoria, so five antipasti never changed, occasionally a pasta would change, it was pretty static. Up to now, the focus has been on sharing big platters of prosciutto and pasta, and I personally prefer to have my own food, to order what I want, so we're opening up a little more choice in how you can order, more a la carte." Seasonal riches play big on his menu. "This is the first time I've really been able to buy a lot of my produce directly from farmers," he said. "That's a hard thing to do in a larger kitchen, but being so small here" — with 46 seats inside, a dozen out — "it's easy to run a dish for a couple of days and then take it off the menu, to grab what's fresh and best." Things like four types of heirloom zucchini from Local Roots Farm or pan-roasted quail with the lightest of fresh corn-stock enriched polenta, described by the chef as "a summer explosion" of flavors. Assisting him in the kitchen is Christian Poulsen, here from the start. "He's the workhorse, works every station and is amazingly dependable and incredibly funny," Stratton said. "It's great being reunited with him." Ditto for Carrie Mashaney — former pastry-chef and pasta maker at Cafe Juanita. "The way she and I work together is smooth and natural," he said of his new sous-chef and former co-worker. "She pulls me out in another direction." Regarding being pulled in other directions, it's clear Neidermeyer felt a tug from the get-go. "My world is focused on my world, not what can do with the Seattle restaurant scene," he told me late last summer shortly after Spinasse made its debut. "I think this is a beautiful, wonderful project, but frankly, I'd like to live in Italy. The first thing I said when we started to put this thing together is `How do I get out?'" Stratton, on the other hand, can envision a long-term future here on Capitol Hill. "I feel like this is kind of my own place," he said of Spinasse. "I'd love to buy into it eventually."

Here is the sketch for thesis painting #7, which is the bald eagle. In the Northwest Coast of the United States, the image of the bald eagle was carved on poles, masks, and other items by native tribes. Since fish was a staple food of the people of the coast, they respected the eagle's ability to catch fish.
Here I show the bald eagle overlooking the coast with a salmon, an important fish of the region. Although bald eagles are not one of my favorite raptors (too often portrayed in art, often painfully kitschy), they are quite beautiful. In my painting, it will be perched on a western white pine, a common tree of the area.
The next paintings will be (though perhaps not in this order):
Gyrfalcon in European Falconry
Lanner Falcon as the God Horus
Griffin Vulture as the Goddess Nekhbet

How To Live a More Meaningful Life
This blog post was written as a recap of my presentation at the International Association of Women on October 17, 2018.
You already have everything you need to succeed inside of you.
I did not always believe that, but I do now and let me tell you why:
I started out my career as a Critical Care Nurse and I spent a decade working with individuals and families who were experiencing devastating, life-changing (and sometimes life-ending) tragedies. I was not only responsible for taking care of them in the hospital, but I also felt one of the most important parts of my job was helping families communicate with one another and helping them find meaning in even the darkest of times.
The thank you cards I got from those experiences told me that I had changed their lives forever. Except, I didn't think I did anything special, they came up with the answers themselves about what to do, I just helped them access those answers.
I realized I wanted to meet these individuals when they were thriving and hope that they never experienced a tragic loss or accident in the future, but if they did, I felt like I could prepare them for it. That was how I began my coaching practice. Now I help professionals and business owners start seeing themselves the way the rest of the world already sees them, so they can start living their purpose through their work.
But after reaching the top of my career path in my twenties, I realized that life is not all about work and no matter how much meaning and passion you have for what you do – it still feels like something is missing if you don't have the other pieces of the puzzle in place.
What you really want to feel is "Happy".
What is happiness?
Think about what it means to you. The dictionary says it is "the positive emotions we have in regards to the pleasurable activities we take part in through our daily lives." This means it is not constant, despite what we would like to think when we scroll through social media and believe everyone else's lives are great all the time.
If happiness is not constant and we would be silly to think that we could be happy all the time, then what is it we are searching for?
I believe it is meaning.
What does it mean to live a meaningful life?
The dictionary defines 'meaning' as "the way in which a person justifies his or her life to him or herself and others."
In Emily Esfahani Smith's book , The Power of Meaning, she describes 4 pillars of meaning.
They are:
Transcendence, and
Let's look at these in a little bit more detail.
We achieve a feeling of belonging through our relationships, love and community. These don't have to be romantic relationships. It could be an interaction that you have with someone walking down the street.
I remember one morning when I was walking to work in New York City, back when I still worked as a nurse, I came around a corner and saw the sun rising. It was the most beautiful sight to see and I stopped to take it in. A woman came around the corner who I had never met before, and she stopped next to me and smiled. She then looked at me and said, "It's magnificent, isn't it?" Then she apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know you but I just had to share that experience with someone."
We are more connected than ever in this day and age through social media and the internet and yet the rates of loneliness are at a 30 year high and some research studies actually show that the reported rates of loneliness are higher in millennials than they are in the elderly, a statistic that has not been published previously about the younger generations.
Exercise #1:
Begin creating a sense of belonging is through shared experiences with others.
So why did the woman apologize to me for wanting to share that moment?
We all experience fear in our lives and the most common fears that hold us back from feeling connected are the fear of rejection and the fear of not being good enough.
What you may not realize is that our minds are wired to want to help each other. It is natural for us to want to form tribes or the modern term for it would be communities. And when you begin a conversation with acceptance – accepting another person – they naturally try to find common ground with you.
Here's an example:
Think of the last time you were in an elevator and it was raining outside and you forgot your umbrella. If you get into that elevator and you are embarrassed because you are soaking wet so you nervously mention that you forgot an umbrella and then blame the rain, what does everyone else in the elevator do? They start complaining about the rain. They try to relate to you.
But, if you get into that elevator and you say that you love thunderstorms and you are smiling and standing up tall, what do you think everyone else in the elevator would do? They may not love thunderstorms, but they will probably start talking about something they love too rather than complaining. They might even call you "brave" for wanting to go outside in a thunderstorm because they would rather stay inside where they feel safe.
People naturally want to connect with you and you get to decide how you want to connect with them every time you start a conversation no matter what the topic is.
If we go back to my story about my career and climbing to the top of the ladder, I did feel like I had a lot of purpose there and I think this is the pillar that a lot of people think is going to be THE ONE that makes them feel fulfilled.
The elements of Purpose are career, strengths and service.
An example of this would be a person who works in facilities maintenance at the hospital. They are responsible for taking out the trash and keeping the environment of the hospital clean to prevent infection. If you ask someone who works in this area of the hospital what they do, they might answer "I save lives."
Believing that the work you are doing serves a purpose that is bigger than you and significant for other people is how you can find true purpose in your career.
The key is to answer the question: why? Why are you doing what you are doing every day?
Exercise #2:
Lead with your purpose when meeting new people.
The next time you are at a networking event and the first question someone asks you is "What do you do?" Try leading with your "why" rather than your "what" and see how your conversations change.
What holds us back the most from achieving our purpose? It is the fear of success and the fear of failure.
The fastest way out of fear is to take action towards your goals. Don't walk, Run!.
Transcendence comes from your spirituality and creativity.
Regardless of whether or not you are religious, I think each and every one of you have something that you enjoy doing so much that you lose yourself in it. I wrote a blog post on the IA Women blog about how you can use creativity to relieve stress and enter a flow state. The flow state is where you lose track of time and you forget your to do list and you are completely present in the moment. To learn more about this, you can check out the blog here.
So, how does fear hold us back from reaching transcendence? The fear of judgement and fear of missing out tend to govern how we spend our time. Remember that you are in control of your calendar and your schedule. The things you decide to spend time on will show you your priorities and if you are not on your list of priorities then you may need to reevaluate your schedule.
Exercise #3:
Take 10-20 minutes out of your day every single day for you!
I go for a walk every morning for 20 minutes on weekdays and I take pictures of the sunrise between the buildings of New York City so that I start my day off with prioritizing myself.
To read the rest of the story about how I decided that was the thing I wanted to do every morning, click here.
The key components of storytelling are love, redemption and growth.
What better way to tell you about storytelling, than with a story:
We have probably all tried to learn to ride a bike before, and of course there is that saying that I think it is safe to assume everyone has heard:
"It is like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it."
I remember when I learned how to ride a bike for the first time. I insisted on riding my older sister's bike even though it was too big for me. My dad ended up putting training wheels on it and adjusted the seat so I could reach the pedals.
Then the day came for me to try it without training wheels. The bike had a bar on the back of the seat to hold onto and my dad said he would hold onto the bar. All I had to do was look forward and pedal. So that's what I did.
The only problem was, he didn't tell me what to do when I got to the end of the road and I didn't know how to turn. I looked back smiling at first to ask him what to do next, and I noticed he wasn't holding onto the back of the bike anymore. I panicked, stopped pedaling, and fell.
He had said he would hold on the entire time and he wouldn't let me fall.
I held a grudge against my dad for a long time after that and it was really difficult for me to trust him enough to let him teach me something new. I became a stubborn kid who wanted to do everything myself and grew up to be a very "Type A" young adult who liked to be in control of everything I do.
It wasn't until I was older that I looked back on that experience as an analogy to how we overcome fear. I didn't fall down until I got scared. In fact, before I looked around for guidance and validation from another person, I was already doing it. I was riding the bike. When I started focusing on being afraid of falling, that was when I fell.
A couple years ago I called my dad and thanked him for teaching me how to ride a bike and for showing me that I can literally do anything I set my mind to and I am in control of whether I ride the bike or fall down.
The emotions that hold us back from Storytelling are: anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt. It wasn't until I worked through those negative emotions that I was able to find meaning in that story. Once I found that meaning, I was able to rewrite my narrative.
Exercise #4:
Ask yourself: In what area of my life am i holding a grudge?
How can you use that grudge as a flashlight to show you what is really important to you so you can find meaning in your story and rewrite your narrative?

My Top 3 Favorite Things At City Fit Fest!
By Amy Powell
CITY FIT FEST this past Saturday was so much fun. The first fitness & wellness festival of its kind to happen in SF. There were so many things I loved about the festival! I wanted to share with you my three favorite things:
- The Janet Stone Beyonce Inspired Yoga Class - I was most excited for Janet Stone's Beyonce Inspired Yoga Class and let me tell you , it did not disappoint. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and it was the perfect temperature for outdoor yoga. Janet's music was upbeat remixes of your favorite artists including Queen Bey. We started with a flow unlike anything I've tried before. Janet told us to move our bodies to the music however we feel, but we had to make sure we were snapping our fingers. She recommended we let our hair down (because Beyonce doesn't wear ponytails). So there we were shaking our booties, snapping our fingers and whipping our hair around. I'd like to think we all looked like windblown models. During the class Janet kept repeating how amazing and strong we are and to express yourself any way we wanted. I felt empowered to move by body however I wanted instead of having to stay in a pose or stay on my mat. We were able to bounce around, dance and feel silly. Janet has a great sense of humor and seems like the kind of friend that will always keep you entertained. When she ended the class singing Justin Bieber and Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to You," I knew I was in the right place!
- Amazing Food and Samples - My husband came with me to City Fit Fest and we both started out with a 20 minute circuit at Kokoda training. It was a tough way to start but great for getting the blood pumping. As soon as we were finished we both needed some energy, so the sample booths is where we went! We started at the Rx Bar booth. Their delicious bars are clean, have simple ingredients and taste AMAZING. It was the perfect snack in between classes to keep our energy up. Plus they gave us a handful of free bars at the end because they noticed how much we liked the bars. After that we split ways, me to Janet Stone yoga and him to Barry's Bootcamp. We met up after both sweaty and thirsty. We headed over to Urban Remedy where we spent a good 20 minutes trying all of the organic juices and talking with the very knowledgable reps. Turns out they have several locations and use as much local produce as possible. I try to do a juice cleanse at least once a year and Urban Remedy seems like the perfect fit. They even deliver which is convenient, as I don't have a car in the city. Then we hit the food trucks. The line for Bowl'd Acai was too long so we went over to Greenbox where we had the kale-fornia chopped salad. It had organic grilled smoked chicken, almonds, organic asparagus coins, pecorino cheese, roasted heirloom grape tomato, quinoa, organic kale, a lemon wedge and it was topped with avocado herb dressing. My husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy but he scarfed down this salad and absolutely loved it.
- Class Variety - We are pretty new to the city and still trying to find our workout routine. It was great to be able to try what SF has to offer in one day. We were both able to take several classes. All of the trainers and instructors were super friendly and excited to tell us about their companies and programs. At the end of the day we left feeling happy and healthy. We did wake up on Sunday hardly able to walk. I guess taking a handful of different work out classes in one day isn't sustainable but it was definitely worth it!
We are already looking forward to the next CITY FIT FEST!

A New Era [Mandatory For All Erenyx Wolves]

Subject: Re: A New Era [Mandatory For All Erenyx Wolves]
July 15th 2014, 20:15
(lemme just say it.... ew... >.<)
Saki was a bit worried. With Teren having just displayed the actions his father would have so gladly done when he was a pup. The omega whined and pawed backwards into the group, his tail curling toward his fragile chest. The wolf seemed even more aggressive then Steele, whom he heard was ruthless, although he never had much of a chance to meet him. At first he was excited, having seen some action and not giving as much of a thought to how this would directly affect him. But the wolf's bone chilling words... they shook him. He was not sure how he felt about this 'Teren' anymore.
Foremost the wolf feared for his life. An omega was an easy target, weak, submissive. But he unfortunately, had a way with snapping back, before being put down by who ever was his tormenter. Saki had a feeling there would be no question with Teren, that if he stepped out of line he would be outright killed. Possibly Teren would beat the omegas, simply for being weak. It was very possible.
He would wait. For now, he would not join in on the howl. His radical loyalty he felt in the beginning had faded with the dark words spoken by the dark figure. No wolf in it's right mind would eat the organs of another either. Saki was suddenly fearing for the worst. he wasn't sure this new leader would be good for the pack. Or good for him. They had only traded one monster for another.
Saki whined again, making his submission clear to the others and Teren, in hopes maybe he would accept his standing and just leave him alone.

(Ooc - Oh you Dothraki you)
Magnus sat and looked on as so few stood against their new Alpha. It was good. But those who did oppose him had their reasons. They were emotionally invested in his survival. But one whose opposition did stump him was Tye's. But the Lead Warrior posed some good questions. Would their lives be better with him? Would he continue Steeles mating regime? No. The look of contempt he gave an infatuated Katyusha spoke volumes about his personality. It seemed he was not interested in the idea of love and mates. Perhaps he had no intention of ever taking a mate in these lands. They might have no Alphess. Not that this was unfamiliar to him. His birth pack had been much the same. His old Alpha saw the value in feminine strength, but would take no mate as his own. Only his concubines.
Magnus stepped forward, not sparing a fiery glance for his dear Chiara. They would have time to speak later. For now his duty was to the pack. He offered a slight nod to his new Alpha, keeping his tail distinctively low to show he posed no threat. He turned to his comrades and spoke.
"Wolves of Erenyx! Hear me! This new Alpha called Teren has freed us from Steeles tyranny. Most of you know of what he asked of the faes who wished to mate, and to the best of my knowledge, very few of you agreed. Steele was recluse and selfish to the point where his own pack held little respect for him. If any of you held him in high regard, you would be standing here with Katyusha and Samael. But you are not."
He paused to take a breath.
"Respect is earn, not given nor forcefully taken. Leadership demands loyalty and respect and Steele had neither. Teren defeated Steele in a fair trial by combat, unaided. He was successful even when two of our number stood up against him. He has broken no laws of ours and he is rightfully our Alpha."
He turned his back on the congregation and looked to the massive brute.
"Alpha Teren, as Lead Hunter under Steeles reign I pledge myself to your service. Whatever rank you should provide me in your rule, I will gladly fulfil it's duties."
Magnus bowed low to the ground out of respect, then sat on his haunches where he was and howled in a new reign. He cared not if no one joined him. Steele was dead and Chiara bore no bastard brood.

Steele was gone and now everything seemed to fall into place. The new Alpha was large, formidable and already had her respect. A part of the respect came from the fact that Steele's previous ruling of her future litter was gone, but mostly she respected him for the air about hi. Steele got distracted by both Esmerelda and now Katyusha, it clouded his mind to the pack and hindered his ability to truly lead. Teren stated against love and mates, making her think he wouldn't follow in Steele's paw steps. With that not holding him back she could only imagine what sort of pack he could lead them into.
His mannerisms, though, made her remember how the males of her home pack treated faes. She hoped he wouldn't demote all of the faes into subordinate roles, but instead would give them a chance. Being careful Chiara hung her head and stepped forward to the new Alpha. Bowing low her ears fell back and her tail curled under in an obvious show of submission and respect for him.
"My lord and Alpha I greet you as our new leader of Erenyx. I am Guardian Chiara and am here as whatever rank you see fit. If left with my current rank I will spare no injury to myself to protect and serve you, for unlike our previous leader you are a wolf who deserves the respect he demands."
She said, backing off from him and stealing a quick glance at Magnus in the process. Perhaps now they could be mated and have their own family. Perhaps now some light would shine in her life.

Nashoba felt something snap in him when he saw this wolf kill Steele, he felt respect and a wish to be as brave, strong, and powerful as this wolf. He stepped forward and lowered his head to the wolf,
"Welcome Alpha Teren, I am Warrior Nashoba and I greet you to our lands. I am here to protect you and our pack with all needs and I hope you lead this pack better then Steele ever did."
Nashoba thought it was weird how he welcomed this wolf but he didn't care. He glared at Katyusha,
"I would watch what your saying and doing if you want to keep your life."
he had no respect towards this fae at all. If she was to act like she was then she was as good as dead. He had already forgotten what he said before and so he was willing to be by this wolfs side. If Teren wanted to use Nashoba then he could use him, he wanted to get better and none of the other lousy wolves around him would do as good as Teren. He stepped back into the crowd and sat watching other wolves step up and introduce themselves to the new Alpha. He went over his plan in his head. After the meeting he would go to the alpha and ask to be trained by him. He would promise to him to do what he said and he would be as brave as he could. Nashoba just hoped that he would accept him as an apprentice. He was going to wait.

This was it. Katyusha knew the next few minutes would be the last she ever saw her mate, the last she ever heard his breath, the last she ever felt his warmth. She kept herself pressed against him, just inches from the other brute. And even though she was so close to the murderer, one who could kill her so easily with no one who would dare save her, she showed no fear. What did one with nothing to lose possibly have to fear? Death would be a release to her, a liberation from this foreign pack that had taken her hostage, and to be reunited with the only one she truly loved. She feared no pain, or torture, all she felt was numbness over her whole form. All of this felt like some terrible nightmare and she just couldn't wake up.
Katyusha would whisper one last time to her mate, her voice starting to quiver as she tried to hold on for one more minute, trying to be strong so Steele didn't have to worry about her
"I love you so much Steele...I love you."
and the only response she got was the warm splash of blood. She would feel the last breath gurgle from his torn throat, and knew it was over.
With Steele gone, Katyusha could hold on no more, she stood on shaking legs, her whole body feeling like she had laid on it for too long. The small multi-colored fae would stumble backwards struggling just to stay standing. All of the voices around her slurred into nothing more than noise. Katyusha had lost everything. When she woke up this morning she had been pressed against the love of her life, unable to believe she was really so lucky to win his heart and have a family with him, and now, just a few short hours later it was gone. Any hope at happiness shattered like a piece of ice hitting a rock. The hope of ever having a real family was ripped from her in a way more painful than any physical wound she had ever felt. And now this brute even stole Steele's heart from her, drawing a soft whimper from the fae as she tried to speak, her voice barely coming out
"No please....that's mine."
she whimpered her gaze seeming like it was 1,000 miles away, her eyes focusing on nothing at all as if trying to block out the horror she was witnessing.
Katyusha was brought back by the warrior's harsh words, her gaze turning to him with an empty stare, there was no emotion, no joy, no excitement, only emptiness
"Why would I wish to keep it?"
she asked honestly before turning away from him. Katyusha had only one goal now. Slowly she walked up to Steele, sliding her muzzle onto the ground to hoist him onto her back. Even though he was considerably larger than her she didn't waiver, appearing to not even notice the weight. Without so much as a glance to anyone else in the pack, Katyusha turned and carried the battered corpse of her mate off, not certain of what the future held for her, or if there would even be a future for her.

Steele was dead. There was a gaping hole where his throat used to be, and a bleeding heart caged within the jaws of their new sovereign as he tore into the organ, consuming it - whether his words rang true in claiming that it was a symbol for his new subordinates to dare he say
take to heart,
or a mere act of cruelty, of violence for the sake of violence, to shatter whatever remained of Katyusha's ability to fight back. He looked to the she-wolf in question, then. She tried to plead with the demon, but he knew her words were useless, were futile, before they even finished coming forth from her quivering mouth. Had there been any traces of sentimentality left inside of him somewhere, anywhere at all, perhaps only then would he have taken it upon himself to help her as she guided the remains of her loved one onto her back and stalked elsewhere. The memory of this day would not be one soon forgotten. Teren, their Alpha male, had wanted to make an impression on all of them. An impression he had made.
The Delta male finally stood, striding forward to take a stand at Magnus's flank with a momentum of utmost grace and fluency. He carried himself with a certain element of weightlessness; a regality that was as beautiful as it was peculiar, for his lethal jaw had never so much as requested that a tail be lowered in his presence. His eyes didn't spare a glance towards any of his pack-mates, feeling the weight of their relief, and for a select few, their grief, without the need for his sense of sight. Even as he stood beside Magnus, making it clear through this gesture that he would accept Teren as his new Alpha male without complaint, he didn't look at Magnus, nor did he
lower himself in a portrayal of his submission. Instead he stared, examined, calculated, every fibre that willingly oozed from their newest tyranny. He would not weep in misery for the loss of Steele, nor would he sing to the heavens how grateful he was for this takeover. He would not do so, because he didn't feel either of those two things. He didn't feel anything. He very well could have just witnessed a successful hunt and
the slaughter of his former Alpha, and he would appear exactly as he did right now.
Call him unfeeling. You'd be right.
Amidst all of the chaos that had occurred in the past few minutes, he perhaps held it together the easiest, not showing his nonexistent joy or grief like the rest. As some howled, and few others acted in a manner similar to Katyusha - he wasn't sure what had become of Samael - he did nothing more than tip his head, as though this gesture alone could communicate a thousand words unspoken. In his eyes, there rested not a single thing to be observed. They glittered with no one trait in particular. He merely stood, like his body was encased in stone, as the rest of his pack-mates responded as they'd please to the idea of a new Alpha.

...Ding, dong, the witch is dead...
And so the king, which was not at all a king in fact, was dead, and she smiled in the face of his death most highly, she thought. That of course asides from the ripper which tore the black knight apart. Cliche had then rose to all fours, eying the display as if it were an award for the entire lands to help celebrate - to dance in the puddles of his blood for the freedom they gained and will cherish now that the plans of mating were deceased, along with their once was leader's pride and dignity. Then her grin seemed to stretch as the Elite carried her beloved off, a cackle echoing out from her throat and over to the one whom growled at her to begin with for just following the rules which she lived and were raised by. It was only karma which would bite them in the end, and her eyes peeled into a lively smile to what luck that brought Katyusha to the realization of defeat. They all had their weaknesses, after all, and the Elite was too foolish to allow that be unveiled by so many.
The honey golden fae fluffed her fur and batted her lashes once, the smell of herbs granting her the better smell versus the dirt and blood that filled the air. Muzzle raised, she stepped forth to match certain elegance, jaw neatly locked where it naturally sat and eyes reasonably leveled to only fall upon this new king. She allowed her body to move just to the slightest of a simple tail wagging at the announcement of Magnus's rich voice, as well as her ears to turn into his direction before standing still. However, her eyes did not fall off the figure of their new leader - Teren, she recalled. She emerged closer, riskily taking the position nearest to her mate's opposing side, close enough where their furs brushed, but not enough to distract one another from the situation at hand. Cliche met the standards quite well until it gave her the moment of freedom to speak. Tye had asked various questions regarding the past formation that which the dead Alpha ruled by, but with the difference in softness, this emotionless ripper would not copy such things. The fact alone however did spark her curiosity, there was no sense of comparison other than the color in their coats, and even with this one, he had shown age. There was not much left for him, though perhaps a year or two at most, she assumed confidently.
She had noticed that all but of except Irrationality, a tawny, bronze character that she had slightly befriended at the beginning of her time within these lands, was silent. This was of no surprise to her - he was always that sort of brute, not that that was an issue. Every individual was different - unique in their own way, and she found his personality, at a friendly level, quite interesting. Then her gaze returned to be flitted upon the emeralds which the killer owned, the burning flames that danced around her irises were only fueled by the sudden revelation of death and the born of a new future, "
," The healer only spoke his truer name, as rank was not important now that she knew he saw the praise she had given him as their new Alpha - that she was loyal beyond most others to those that
the power, "
I'm Cliche, a mere Healer among these lands. I only seek to find your acceptance regarding my current rank, or to that you see would be a stronger fit to my abilities...
" She said, lashes slowly fluttering over another before continuing with the same devious grin, "
My loyalty is now only to you - M'lord.. And one last thing-
," The fae said smoothly until remembering what lastly she was about to say. She looked to her mate with loving eyes and then to the rest, though it didn't matter if they were even listening to her or even looking at her. Then the view of Teren crossed her paths once more of an amber flame,

Everything in this moment all happened in slow motion. The forest was quiet, too quiet. Only the sounds of the wolves speaking surrounded them. Samael had wanted to save his father, at least be given the chance to do what was right to Steele. His eyes watched the scene before him, listening to the tyrant which stood on top of his father, unwavering. This brute was serious for his cause, his wants, and his reasoning. Nothing would change the mind of a relentless killer. Katyusha had tried to shake the binds he held on his father, making him see that this "Alpha" was loved by some. Seeing her actions gave Samael a glimmer of hope. No wolf could be completely closed off to the idea of breaking a love, a strong and miraculous love apart. If only he had seen Steele and Katyusha together, perhaps maybe he would understand. But as he stood down and moved back from his father, the display did not go well for them. Teren made some gallant speech about how new life was coming to these lands. Samael could hardly careless what he had in store for them. He held his tongue, kept his dagger-like eyes positioned on the newcomer. He did not look away, not even when Teren ripped into his throat and tossed his jugular right between his own paws. He could smell the scent of fresh blood, and felt it splash onto his coat. His eyes stared to the "Alpha", not looking to the part of his father beneath his own nose. Katyusha stayed right there, getting a splash of his fresh blood all over her face. But no matter how much these images troubled him, he could not look away. What Teren performed next, shocked him even more than before. It only took a matter of minutes before Steele slipped away to the land of the dead. You could see it within his life-less eyes, now truly gone. His body barely moved to the stirring of Teren's actions. He could hear bones break and crack inside his body, and his eyes did not tear away once the non-beating heart was ripped from the carcass. He watched the other, giving another useless speech and then he devoured the heart, right before the pack. In this moment, the world ceased to move, it seemed surreal that this was even happening. He took a deep breath and watched as the Elite moved from her lover's remains. She attempted to lift his body, all on her own she did it. It must have been the shock or the adrenaline coursing through her, which allowed such a feat to happen. He could hear the voices around him speaking, probably congratulating their new Alpha, or trash talking their deceased one. Whatever it was, Samael did not want to hear it. He saw the contempt look from Teren to Katyusha, and he watched as she started to take his father from the worthless pack around them. He did not speak a word, instead he followed after her. When he caught up to her side, he pushed up against her, taking a good portion of the weight for himself. Walking so close to her, he could stabilize her own body and help her from shaking. When they were far from the others, he whispered for only her to hear.
"Katyusha, I swear to you, I will make Teren pay. I will give my life if it means killing him as well. But I am here for you. If you need someone to talk to, I will always be here for you."

It was all over quickly, Omen stared at the scene unfolding as he heard more speak to the newest Alpha, Teren, who just mercifully tore the throat of Steel out before his very eyes. Then like the unspeakable he could not peel his eyes from Katyusha who in her own way mourned for the loss of her mate as she carried his body off. The caretaker listened to more come forward as he too let a a bow out before the new liege but words would not as quickly for the shock was still there. The praise around the court was mixed reviews but for Omen, he could not stand there and dispute the fact that the older male was indeed top dog, and that itself was worthy of praise. Torn on the matter, Omen finally spoke, the words were simple.
"Congratulations Alpha Teren."
Omen did not speak of his name, did not speak of his rank, but of sheer congratulatory effects. There would be another time and another place on which he would meet the Alpha. This was not of that time, not now, and not in his eyes. The sable male turned and left the scene, his mind still in bewilderment as he felt sorry for the Elite. What was to come of her being Alphess now? What was to come of her pups? What was to come of Steele's son who saw the very breath ripped from his father? For someone who didn't like to meddle in other's affairs, Omen couldn't help but feel pity for Steele's family, for he never had the chance to truly meet the male but had only heard of his horrible ways. Would Teren be any different? Either way Omen would respect that fact that the strongest male one, Teren was now the Alpha, and from Omen's work standards that would be who he served. It didn't matter who reigned, so long as it wasn't him. The male slipped into his den and found slumber he so desperately needed.

Ripping the heart out and eating it. Well. Tye didn't know what was sadder. That he felt absolutely nothing at the seeing it happen or that he had somehow ended up walking down a path that he had sworn he would walk out of. Perhaps he was getting too desensitized. Or he had seen enough to not be disgusted. And the darker, macabre part of him formed the simple thought in his head when he watched the older male eat the heart. Mainly, if heart tasted like hare. Tye was not surprised when everyone started to go towards him. But he had not answered his question. Or perhaps he could not. As the last of the pack migrated towards him, Tye spied Katyusha leaving with Steele's body. Or what was left of it. The black male's gaze followed her, one ear twisted towards the others as Magnus proclaimed his allegiance towards Teren which galvanized the others into doing the same except for Steele's son. She had wisely backed down, with the boy helping her. She was out of the line of fire, so to speak. Tye turned his attention back to the others. To Cliché. He thought he had heard a cackle from her when Katyusha was leaving. He was momentarily surprised but pushed it towards the back of his mind. Something had probably happened between them before he had arrived. As their furs brushed against one another, he managed a slight smile at her. Tye wasn't the one to smile a lot and in this situation, he was even less inclined to do so. But he supposed she was happy enough and no one's throats were getting silt. He had never seen her eyes burn so bright before, with anticipation for the future. When she introduced herself to Teren, he watched the other carefully. Tye did not trust him. Not yet. Looking back at Cliché as she spoke, silent understanding passed between them. He looked at the Alpha, meeting his eyes with his ice blues before speaking briefly in his usual wry humour,
"Lead Warrior Tye at your service. Defender and guard of this pack. Cheers to a better future."

The tides had turned. Fate had spoken. And history had changed its course. But the wheels of time would turn, forever and ever, churning and spinning. It left no room for grief, or elation or anything in between. And the hunter was just another chess piece in the wide, wide fabric of inter-connected possibilities and lost opportunities that was the eternal universe. He had yet to find his place. He was not the father who was glad to see their leader burn, or the loyal and grieving son and widow, or the relieved faes who had been saved a fate that they did not desire. Not even the glad pack-mates who found it better that their former leader was dead as opposed to him alive. He was, by all respects, the outsider. The one who had just set paw into this tangled, intricate mess of relationships without even the barest scrap of knowledge to glean from to distinguish the reasons for their individual behaviour. He could imagine what kind of pain some were in and also the elation and relief that others felt. But he did not care. His heart did not bleed for anyone here. It was ash and dust, a dead thing. Tearing out the throat and eating the heart? Nothing felt, nothing at all. Not disgust, or horror, or squeamishness. So Elias joined the others in their allegiance towards him, his faded amber eyes passing over the male with clinical interest to keep his image in his mind for future references before straying into the woods. Once it was there, he nodded to Teren, a sign of acknowledgement to his reign before walking into the surrounding woods. His ghostly form disappeared into the darkness without a noise.

A dark figure stood from a ways, gold/silver eyes watching the scene before her, lips twitching slightly upwards at this cruelty. The responses of this new developement varied, but Katyusha's was by far the bravest. Some didn't say a single word. Tye.. she didn't quite know. It was hard to tell with him. She watched, the small curve of her lips turning into a full smirk. Teren was interesting to say the least, but he appealed to her more than Steele ever did. She did feel slightly bad for Katyusha, but hardly. No, she didn't give her trust out readily, but she already liked Teren more. She was glad that Steele was taken down a peg or two, and that he now knew he wasn't the best anymore. Eyes flicked over the other wolves that threatened the wolf who had killed the former Alpha, Lowering her head, she ventured closer, head and tail lowered as she approached the new leader.
"All this talk of killing the new Alpha..tsk.."
She muttered quietly, ears pinning as she stood before the one called Teren.
Lowering herself to the ground, she hid a smile.
"Hello, Alpha Teren. Congratulations on your victory, and welcome, as new Ruler. I'm Warrior Ariste."
She introduced herself, head dipping, before she raised her eyes to look at him, the tinyest of smiles curving across her maw.
"Good luck."
She said, eyes still cold, but showing slight amusent. She backed away, out of the crowd of wolves, watching, fur disappearing into the blackness of the shade.

Will Young says he's fine and people can say what they like about his sudden withdrawal for 'personal reasons' from Strictly Come Dancing
Singer Will Young has insisted he is 'absolutely dandy' following his sudden departure from Strictly Come Dancing.
The 37-year-old did not elaborate on why he had decided to withdraw from the show, just days after viewers saw him clash with head judge Len Goodman.
But in a text to the Radio 2 breakfast show, read out by DJ Chris Evans, Will said the reasons for his departure were 'all very undramatic'.
"Here's the thing. I'm absolutely dandy, thanks," his message said.
"It's all very undramatic really. I've done my statement and others can say what they want to say. I never read what they say anyhow."
The Pop Idol winner's exit came after veteran judge Len told Will to 'turn up, keep up, shut up'.
He sparked speculation about the reasons behind his exit when he told fans on Tuesday that he had withdrawn from the competition for 'personal reasons'.
The singer, who was partnered with Karen Clifton, said he left with 'joy in my heart that I have been able to take part in one of the most loved shows on British television'.
Will and Karen were due to perform the Viennese waltz to Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera this weekend.
A Strictly spokesman said the competition will proceed as normal, with a results show on Sunday, when a third celebrity will be eliminated following the public vote.

Lena Waithe, Greg Berlanti To Receive Prestigious LGBTQ Honors
| Lena Waithe and Greg Berlanti will both accept the Trevor Project's Hero Award in New York.
Lena Waithe and Greg Berlanti are set to be recognized for their respective efforts in helping to move the cultural needle on LGBTQ representation.
The queer Hollywood heavyweights will both accept The Trevor Project's Hero Award at the 2018 TrevorLIVE gala in New York on June 11. Also set to be honored at the ceremony is Dominic Barton, managing partner of the global consulting firm McKinsey & Company, who will receive the 20/20 Visionary Award.
Collectively, Barton, Berlanti and Waithe "have each made an unprecedented positive impact on the lives of young LGBTQ people in the last year," Amit Paley, The Trevor Project's CEO and executive director, said in a press release. "We're incredibly excited to honor them for their commitment to fostering an accepting environment for LGBTQ youth through their innovative work and leadership at TrevorLIVE New York as we join together to continue The Trevor Project's important and life-saving work."
It's the latest in a series of accolades for Waithe, best known for her work on the smash shows Master of None" and "The Chi." In September, the actress, producer and screenwriter made Emmys history as the first black woman to win for comedy writing. She also graced the April cover of Vanity Fair, the first issue under the magazine's new editor, Radhika Jones.
Being recognized by The Trevor Project, which is focused on LGBTQ youth suicide prevention, is "one of the greatest honors of my life," Waithe said in a press release.
"The work that they do is invaluable to the community, and I hope to continue to do work that is worthy of this honor," she added.
Berlanti, meanwhile, is coming off the success of Love, Simon." The film, which Berlanti directed, earned near-universal praise from critics and fans as Hollywood's first mainstream coming-of-age comedy to center on a gay teen.
He said in a press release that he had "immense admiration" for The Trevor Project as well as the organization's "ongoing efforts to provide a safe place for the LGBTQ community and youth in need."
