Balkan Strongmen: Bulgaria's Zhivkov
Bernd J. Fischer is one of the foremost historians of Albania writing in English. However the book which we have chosen here and which was published in 2007 is one which he edited and contributed to. It is a collection of essays and profiles of the dictators and strongmen who dominated the Balkans in the last century. Divided into two parts the first takes in Zog of Albania, King Aleksandar of Yugoslavia, King Carol of Romania, Boris of Bulgaria, Ataturk of Turkey, Metaxas of Greece and Ante Pavelic, the fascist quisling leader of wartime Croatia. The second part covers the post 1945 period: Enver Hoxha of Albania, Tito of Yugoslavia, Ceausescu of Romania, Zhivkov of Bulgaria, Papadopoulos and the Greek colonels and finally Serbia's Milosevic. For this extract we have chosen an assessment of Todor Zhivkov, the Bulgarian communist leader who dominated the country for almost all of the communist period. The chapter was written by Stefan Krause a specialist in modern Balkan politics. Zhivkov was born in 1907, the son of peasants, became a Marxist in the early 1930s, became a member of the Politburo in 1954, assumed full control in 1962, was overthrown in 1989 and died in 1998. Above all argues Krause, Zhivkov was a master tactician.
He made his way to the top as a compromise figure underestimated by almost everybody else in the leadership of Communist Bulgaria. Once he got to the top, he managed to strengthen his position by forming temporary tactical alliances with one strong figure against another. In this way he eliminated one competitor after another until he was the undisputed leader of his party and country. Once in power, his political acumen continued to serve him well. He would routinely build up a "crown prince" only to get rid of him after a few years and establish a new one. Thus Zhivkov insured that nobody became strong enough to threaten his own position. At the same time he managed for over thirty years to secure the backing of the party leader in Moscow. It was only when Gorbachev set out on the path of Perestroika, while the situation in Bulgaria was deteriorating significantly, that his recipe failed. As his subordinates in Sofia realized that they needed to remove him in order to save the system, Zhivkov found himself without a sponsor in Moscow who could keep him in power. In the end his personal regime fell apart in just a few months, only to be followed by the collapse of the system he had worked all his life to implement and perpetuate.
The dilemma of Zhivkov and his legacy is manifold: during the forty-five years of Communism Bulgaria was propelled from an agrarian country into the industrial age, but at the same time the command economy that was built under Communism was ineffective and proved unable to cope with new requirements. The population of Bulgaria in 1989 was much better educated than it had been in 1944 and on average enjoyed a much higher standard of living; at the same time most people had been deprived of political participation for about half a century, and the cost of building a civil society was enormous and is still substantial.

As I mentioned in my recent email newsletter, we are starting a monthly feature on my blog called simply, "Ask Dave." I receive quite a few questions about my career and playing music in general via email, and rather than respond privately, I thought I would make my answers available for everyone to read. We will pick several submissions at the end of every month and post the answers here. You can ask questions about my career and music or ask for advice about your playing—anything, really. However, please direct your inquiries about bookings for live appearances or teaching engagements to the appropriate contacts.
If you have questions for me for next month's feature, you can either pose them in the comments sections of this post or send them to me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This month's questions come from a fan who is working on a research paper about my music. If you have any follow-up questions, you can post them in the comments section.
1. Your first album as a leader ("Conference of the Birds") was released in 1972. But my question is: Has composing always been a part of your musical life? Does the process of composing have much earlier roots in your life?
I wrote my first compositions around 1967, when I was living in London, and I wrote them for bands that I played with. There was a trio led by John Surman and another group that was put together by John McLaughlin. They were both writing and I wanted to make a contribution, not only as a bass player but also as a composer. Since then, almost all my writing has been for particular projects. When I moved to New York in 1968 to play with Miles, he encouraged me to work on my piano playing to expand my musical vocabulary. This helped me develop my writing as well as my playing. Jazz composers who have influenced me include John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Ornette Coleman and Kenny Wheeler. Classical composers include Bartok, Stravinsky, Ravel and Debussy.
2. Did the "British invasion" of rock in the 1960s have a big effect on you? Are there any bands that specifically influenced you early on, or recently, other than jazz artists?
I joined my first band in 1959, when I was 13. I was playing bass guitar at the time and we played cover versions of the popular songs of the day by early Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues artists. American music influenced a lot of the young musicians at that time. Many working class kids like myself found an escape in music and a lot of the groups that developed in the sixties came from the same background.
3. In your recent group configurations you employ the use of vibraphone as your harmonic anchor. How does the timbre of this particular instrument influence your composing for these groups?
The reason I have vibraphone in the band is because of the way Steve Nelson plays it. Working with Steve for the last 16 years has been inspiring. He's a great improviser and has although he's deeply rooted in the jazz tradition he's developed a very personal approach. His style of playing and the percussive and sonic nature of the instrument has certainly influenced my composing.
4. Early on in your career you seem to have preferred very dense improvisations over free structures. There seems to be a progression to more consonant harmonies and melodies. Can you describe this progression?
Not really. I have just tried to follow the musical direction that have seems relevant to where my musical interests lie and to the times that I'm living in. The people I've played with have certainly influenced my writing. I try to write music that will provide a creative vehicle for their individual approach. My musical experiences have always taken a number of parallel approaches, and as I've developed I've tried to weave them into a cohesive statement.
5. Your association with Miles Davis is well documented. Can you describe how his band-leading processes have influenced you?
He had a way of stripping a composition down to it's essence and then letting the musicians fill in the spaces. I think he trusted the musicians in his band to find our own creative solutions. We were given a lot of creative freedom, and I like to do that with my groups. I know that I've always enjoyed playing music that has a clear intent but that also gives me room to make a personal contribution. It's all about choosing the right musicians. Then, like Miles, you don't have to say much!

Iman is suffering another loss.
Two months after husband David Bowie passed away from a long battle with cancer, the supermodel has lost her mother. "Saddened by the death of my mom Maryan Baadi. May Allah grant her the highest jennah #ripmaryanbadi," she tweeted early Friday morning. [[374258421,C]]
Iman previously spoke to The Guardian about how proud she was of her parents' work in the Somali independence movement. "My mother was an activist, so was my father. They came from a generation of young Somalis who were actively involved in getting independence for Somalia in 1960," she said in 2014.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
She also credited her mother for giving her the confidence to believe she could do whatever she wanted. "She instilled...the fact that nobody can take your self-worth unless you give your consent," she continued. "She always said to me that there is nothing that the boys can do – because I had two brothers – that you can't do, if not better."
Iman has been spotted out in public only a couple of times since her husband's passing, walking her dog while dressed in all black. She has mainly used social media to express her emotions, breaking her silence one month after her husband's death, posting a a simple message on Instagram. "Love and gratitude, Iman," it said. [[364829851,C]]
A source told E! News after her husband's death Iman was determined to keep her head held high by hanging out with her family. "Iman is doing well. She has been spending lots of time with her daughter and is keeping busy."
The insider also noted that she was "very touched by all the support from friends, family and fans."
Teddy Antolin, Bowie's longtime hairstylist and the person who introduced the couple, also passed away in February. The Somali model helped to spread the news about the death of her friend, reposting the announcement originally made on Bowie's official Facebook page.
"It is with sadness that we report the news that Teddy Antolin has passed away," the statement read. "Teddy was a former hairdresser for David on several tours, video shoots and photo sessions. He will be missed."

The focus of the local authorities has always been on keeping land and rental costs competitive. As such, it is not surprising that the industrial sector is regulated with stringent policies to minimise speculation in real estate investments. Despite some of these barriers, opportunities remain available in two forms: privately-held properties, or assets with existing longer term land tenure and running tenancies.
In particular, while opportunities remain selective in the private industrial market, there is potential for a pick-up in this sector's investment outlook. Not bounded by JTC policies, these properties enjoy higher flexibility in subletting which has increasingly garnered more attention from investors.
With better infrastructure in place, this may encourage the proliferation of new growth areas, especially manufacturing sectors with higher value-added production. If these growth clusters successfully draw occupiers, investors might find it attractive to look for long-term sale and leaseback opportunities with such occupiers. Investors are inclined towards assets with a long weighted average lease expiry as it provides a recurring income from the running tenancies.

I bought a MAC lipstick from eBay recently…not the cleverest thing because eBay is littered with fakes of the most popular brands (such as MAC, Nars and Benefit) but the seller had good feedback and I presumed it would be ok. But now I am seeing little things that makes me wonder if it is a fake. Readers, what do you think?I am no MAC expert but perhaps some of you are….
I pulled out 3 MAC lipsticks I bought from the MAC counter to compare.
First off, the barrel. Can you spot which one may be dodgy?
It is….
No. 3. In person, the lipsticks are roughly the same height, but the new lipstick has a thinner silver band around the middle. It is noticeably thinner than the other 3 in person.
Next up, the labels. Can you spot the odd one out?
Yep it's Peachstock. Can you see how it's a brighter silver colour? None of my other MAC lipsticks are that colour, they are a much duller silver shade. Hmm.
Then the lids. You may not be able to tell but where the new lipstick has the words MAC grooved in, it feels quite deep and you can make out the bevelled edges with your finger. With the others, the MAC lettering feels very smooth.
Finally a few more things I noticed.
The lipstick from eBay (peachstock) is a very glossy looking – almost like it's oozing oil which I've never seen on my other MAC lipsticks before.
Also there is absolutely no scent in it. All my other MAC lipsticks have a light vanilla scent. I was thinking that maybe it's quite old but the seller says it's fresh stock. Hmmm.
To be honest I can't figure out if this is an amazing fake, just really really old, or a different batch completely. The seller swears to me it is the real thing and it was sourced in the US hence the differences. I honestly don't know.
Also if you own Peachstock – does my lipstick look like the right hue? The texture of the lipstick is super soft and the colour is quite opaque too.
Come on MAC experts – did I buy a fake or the real thing?!

When is the best time to stock fish in my pond?
Jan – Raleigh, NC
Pond owners looking to replenish their fish populations this season should grab their buckets and nets; spring is here and it is the perfect time to stock your pond with new game fish.
Spring and fall are the best times to add new fish to your pond as the temperatures are not as harsh making it easier for you to transport your newcomers and acclimate them to their new home. You can still introduce fish into your pond during the summer months but you will want to take extra precautions to make sure you can quickly transport the fish to your pond and take a little extra time during the acclimation process.
Deciding how many fish to add to your pond will predominately depend on the surface area of the water body. You can take a look at a few examples of stocking rates on our website. You will want to stick to a ratio of 3 prey fish (sunfish, bluegill, or perch) to 1 predator fish (bass) when choosing species to promote a healthy and balance fish population. Click over to our Fish Stocking Blog for some more information.
You can purchase fish from your local fish hatchery or catch and transport fish from a friend's pond. Wherever the source, inspect the fish for signs of illness or disease before adding them to your pond. Our local customers can take advantage of The Pond Guy semi-annual Fish Day which takes place on the 7th of May. Fish day is a great opportunity to meet with other pond owners, speak with the friendly and knowledgeable The Pond Guy staff, and browse our wide selection of pond products from Pond Dye to 24' Windmills. Customers can place orders online or over the phone until May 7th which will be available for payment and pick-up on the 8th between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. There will be a wide selection of both predator and prey fish available for purchase including Hybrid Bluegill, Perch, Catfish and Bass. Walk-ins are welcome but selection will be limited by availability.
Make sure there is adequate habitat for your smaller fish to hide, grow and reproduce. Weeds, grasses and other debris already in your pond will provide some cover but you can introduce man made habitats to protect your fish without dealing with weeds and plants. Check out our Fish Habitat blog for some more insight into creating comfortable living spaces for your fish.

Later on, he worked in the Saint-Luc clinic, where he illustrated medical articles for the hospital's paper as a side activity. In 2004, he illustrated 'Le Guide Junior de Filles' from scripts by Jacky Goupil and Sylvia Douillet at Vents d'Ouest.
Since 2004, he is also a regular contributor to Lanfeust Mag, with his gag series 'Inquisitor' (scripts by Pierre Veys). In late 2004, Krings was assigned by Éditions Dupuis to take over the adventures of 'Violine', a series created by Fabrice Tarrin and Tronchet.

In OTAs (Offseason Talk & Analysis) all through June and July, the Sports on Earth NFL team will break down each team's offseason transactions, boldest moves and burning questions as they prepare for training camp. Click here for links to every entry in the series.
Forget Vegas. What happens in San Diego stays in San Diego.
It's getting to the point that Johnny Manziel cannot spend every waking moment in Sin City partying like the Son of Bacchus without someone snapping pictures and sending the Football Temperance Society into a tizzy. But San Diego is the place where football news dies of sunstroke. In San Diego, Manziel could ride along the coast in a chariot pulled by a team of giant seahorses while beer-bonging Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard Ale, and ESPN's daytime programming would not break stride.
In San Diego, you can declare yourself the greatest cornerback on earth, and no one looks up from their beach reading. Inexplicable invisible girlfriend scandals also disappear in the San Diego sunshine. The starting quarterback can don a bolo tie and spend an up-and-down decade acting like a stone arrogant bastard with nary a controversy. The Chargers can upset the Broncos, sneak into the playoffs on a hot streak, and upend an alleged powerhouse, all while drawing minimal attention.
That eerie silence surrounding the Chargers is a somewhat-justifiable lack of buzz. They're a small-market wild-card team stranded on a sandy corner of the NFL map. Playoff shockers aside, they were never serious contenders last year and made no splashy moves during high-volume transaction season. But when the Chargers splashed, they strengthened their weakest unit while weakening a division rival when no one was looking. Then again, it seems like no one is ever looking, which puts the Chargers in position to become this year's unsurprising surprise team.
Biggest Move: Flowers in the Paddock
It pays to have a little extra cap space to spend when other teams have to do some sudden salary trimming. It helps even more to be an appealing potential employer, because veterans who have options sign their one-year "prove it" deals with teams that can help them prove things. Brandon Flowers believes that the Chargers can help him prove the Chiefs wrong for dumping him long after the traditional cap purge period -- he stated that remaining in the AFC West was a major motivator for him -- and that he will still be worth a long-term deal from a playoff contender when he turns 29 next February.
Flowers also declared himself the best cornerback in the NFL, because that's what everyone else is doing. "Best cornerback in the NFL" is one of those titles anyone can give themselves, like "King of Chili Cook-offs" or "Master of the Stratocaster." San Diego being San Diego, there was no real backlash from Flowers' comments from the First Take gang, Richard Sherman, Roddy White, or those people who write "soccer is boring/un-American" articles. Actually, any or all of these people may have responded; I would not know, since I stopped paying attention to most of them years ago. The fact is that no one considers Flowers the best cornerback in the NFL, not even Flowers. If you don't visualize your goals, you will never attain them, and could end up getting beaten frequently by Wes Welker.
Flowers is a very good cornerback by all accounts. He made the Pro Bowl last year, and various play-by-play charters gave him high grades, though he was a hard player in a hard defense to analyze from home. Flowers blitzed often and fake-blitzed even more often in Bob Sutton's Chiefs defense; feigning a blitz, then backpedalling to stop a slot receiver in a hook zone, is not an easy skill to rate without a Chiefs playbook by your side. Flowers' versatility made some of Sutton's most exotic blitzes feasible. Flowers and first-round pick Jason Verrett now give coordinator John Pagano some of that flexibility.
Flowers and Verrett also give the Chargers plain-old quality. Football Outsiders ranked the Chargers second-to-worst in the NFL in stopping opponent's No. 1 receivers and dead last at stopping No. 2 receivers in 2013. Verrett alone was not going to upgrade a secondary that had a clear need for two cornerbacks. But Verrett and Flowers, combined with holdovers Shareece Wright, Richard Marshall, and prospect Steve Williams, change the whole complexion of the Chargers secondary. Verrett won't draw as many difficult assignments right away as he would have before Flowers' arrival. Safety Eric Weddle will now be able to roam more effectively. Slot receivers will have to face tight coverage, an important thing in a division whose leader is lousy with slot receivers.
Flowers is not the best cornerback in the NFL. The Chargers do not have the best secondary in the NFL. But some of last year's 30-24 losses are likely to become 24-21 wins.
Biggest Risk: The Rise of Frank Reich
It's hard to determine just where head coach Mike McCoy ended and former offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt began during last season's offensive renaissance. McCoy is an offensive chameleon whose system can morph from option-heavy tactics to Peyton Manning-worthy at-the-line complexity, depending on the situation. Whisenhunt's systems were never quite as nimble. Given Kurt Warner, Ben Roethlisberger, or Philip Rivers, he looked like a mastermind, while Matt Leinart or John Skelton could make him look like a ninny. The same can be said of most of us.
Whisenhunt was the primary game-planner last year, so even if McCoy had a heavy hand on the big-picture rudder, his loss could be felt. New coordinator Frank Reich is new to game-planning and play-calling duties, though he did mentor under Whisenhunt in both Arizona and (last year) in San Diego. Reich promises some exciting new wrinkles, most notably an increased emphasis on the no-huddle package.
The Chargers were one of the most deliberate offensive teams in the NFL last year, finishing 29th in the NFL in offensive pace, according to Football Outsiders. In "neutral situations," as opposed to two-minute drills or desperate fourth quarters, they averaged 31.96 seconds per play. The NFL average is 29.79, while Chip Kelly had the Eagles snapping off a play every 23.88 seconds.
The slow pace helped the Chargers lead the league in time-of-possession (an average of precisely 33 minutes per game) and kept their awful secondary off the field. But the secondary has improved, Philip Rivers is the kind of veteran who can thrive in the no-huddle, and time-of-possession can actually hold a productive offense back. Fewer possessions may make sense against the Broncos, but more chances to score might have iced opponents the Chargers had trouble with last year (Dolphins and Titans-types). Reich has Peyton Manning experience from Indy, McCoy from Denver, and the two could teach the Chargers' veteran quarterback how to change speeds.
Reich needs to add something to the offense, because the Chargers did not add many new players. Their mix of aging stars (Rivers, Gates, center Nick Hardwick), prospects (Keenan Allen, D.J. Fluker) and reclamation projects (King Dunlap, Chad Rinehart) is delicate. The Chargers won't kick down the playoff doors on sheer talent. Reich doesn't have to be Whisenhunt, but he must deliver his own brand of wisdom.
Biggest Question: Can two running backs take a handoff on one play?
The Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead, Donald Brown, Marion Grice backfield is going to confound your fantasy draft. We won't know until camp unfolds just how the Chargers will split carries, but there are some certainties:
Mathews won't have any more 29-carry back-to-back weeks unless there is an injury rash.
Woodhead will catch a bunch of passes.
Donald Brown will be asked to do more than Ronnie Brown did. In fact, he will make people forget Ronnie Brown. In fact, everyone has already forgotten Ronnie Brown. (Except Auburn fans and Wildcat scholars).
Rookie Marion Grice is too good at too many things to get buried on the bench.
Mathews is under contract through 2015. His cap number for next year is modest (a little over $3 million), but the team could save $1.5 million by releasing him after this season. With Grice in the fold, Mathews' chances of seeing the end of his current contract are roughly less than 50-50 and his chances of staying in San Diego beyond 2015 are absolute zero. But while Mathews' future is obvious, his present is less clear. Reich calls him the "primary workhorse," but there are an awful lot of ponies in the stable.
The Chargers showed late last season that they love to run the ball: They rushed over 35 times in each of their last four regular season games. Adding no-huddle packages to a run-heavy system can create opportunities for three different running backs. Grice's special teams value (he returned kicks in college and is a fly-around block-and-tackle guy for the coverage units) can keep him on the roster in a limited role until the primary workhorse is asked to seek work elsewhere. Everybody keeps busy, the Chargers are insulated against injury, and teams that are weak against the run will be severely punished.
Bold Prediction
Up-and-coming tight end LaDarius Green will have a great season. But he will only catch about 40 passes. His value will come from stretching the safeties to create opportunities underneath and from blocking as a slot-or-flex player on no-huddle handoffs. A 40-600-6 stat line may disappoint you if you draft Green as your fantasy football "next big thing," but it will take heat off Gates and help the Chargers return to the playoffs.

Very interesting. Nina Simone's daughter has finally broken her silence on the proposed biopic based on her mother's life. Simone's daughter has questioned the "love story" angle of the film ... and revealed that the late and iconic singer's former nurse and manager was gay.
Zoe Saldana has been cast as the lead in Nina. David Oyelowo will star as her former manager Clifton Henderson. Simone's daughter Lisa Celeste Stroud commented on the screenplay's plot in a Facebook post, reports Shadow and Act.
When the announcement initially hit the press with MJ Blige cast as Nina (about 6 yrs ago) I heard it along with everyone else. The story was written as a love story between my mother and her former nurse, Clifton Henderson and primarily takes place during the last 8 years of her life. Please note, this project is unauthorized. The Nina Simone Estate was never asked permission nor invited to participate. ...
Clifton Henderson was gay. He was not attracted to women. So, the truth is...Nina Simone and Clifton Henderson NEVER had a relationship other than a business one. Please correct me, but isn't a biopic the story of one's life? ...
For all she endured while here and all of the lives she has touched, she DESERVES to be remembered for who she truly was; not some made up love story from a former nurse/manager (now deceased) who sold his life rights because of his relationship to Nina Simone.
Eunice Kathleen Waymon was born in North Carolina in 1931. She later adopted the stage name "Nina Simone" and rose to international acclaim as a singer-songwriter in the 1950s. Simone later became heavily involved in the civil rights movement in the late 1960s and early 1960s. She died in France in 2003.
Lisa Stroud is the daughter of Andy Stroud, who was the married to Nina Simone from 1961 to 1970. Stroud was also the singer's manager during the turbulent civil rights era.
The daughter also takes a subtle swipe at the decision to cast Zoe Saldana as her mother: "As a child, my mother was told her nose was too big and she was too dark yet she graduated valedictorian of her high school class."
Cynthia Mort wrote the script and has been attached as to the independent feature film. Mary J. Blige was previously attached to lead the project but later "moved on due to funding issues," notes the Hollywood Reporter. "The movie is due to begin production Oct. 16 in Los Angeles."

An exceptional way to be in touch with your family history is to visit locations important to your ancestors' lives. July 2007 gave me an opportunity to do just that.
The place was the Benjamin Church House, located since 1938 in Estabrook Park, Shorewood. The house was built about 1844 in an area then known as Kilbourntown. That name came from Bryon Kilbourn, land owner and founder about 1835 of the pioneer town just west of the Milwaukee River.
Kilbourntown was one of three towns that merged in 1846 to create the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The others were Juneautown east of the river and Walker's Point to the south.
In those days, the Church house was on Fourth Street at the intersection with Court Street, between Cherry and Galena streets. The site in the pioneer era is described as up a hill overlooking a tamarack swamp near the river.
Benjamin Church, my ggg-grandfather, was one of the earliest settlers in Milwaukee. He arrived in November 1835 via Chicago from his birthplace in Ulster County, New York.
A pioneer carpenter and master builder, he brought the Greek Revival style from the East Coast to the young city of Milwaukee — and applied it to construction of his own family home. With its four graceful columns on the front and other distinctive features, the house gives the feeling of a small Greek temple.
That Greek Revival style, combined with the use of hand-hewn lumber and Cream City bricks stamped with the date 1844 and initials of the brick maker, made the house worth saving, restoring and moving to a new location. The house today is an intimate museum of life in Milwaukee in the 1850s, with the furnishings giving a sense of what life was like in those days.
Standing in the cozy house, I imagined Benjamin Church returning home, up the hill to the house, climbing the steps to the porch and enjoying the modest elegance of the Doric columns, then entering the house right into the small living room. A fire crackling in the fireplace and the sounds of his children would have greeted him at the end of a day's work.
His wife Permilia would likely have been in the kitchen cooking dinner, helped by oldest daughters Ann Maria and Ann Augusta. I imagine the younger children doing their chores, or their studies, or perhaps playing.
Known to her family as Hannah, Ann Maria married Sherman A. Bradley on January 6, 1859. They too lived in the Church House and their son Jesse Charles Bradley was born there June 22, 1866.
A special treasure awaited me in the back room of the house, where a display board told the history of house and of Benjamin Church himself. There on display was his photograph! See it on the page with his biography.
The Benjamin Church House, also called the Kilbourntown House, is open to the public free during the summer. A docent or guide is on hand to talk about the house, its history and its significance in conveying a vivid snapshot of early Milwaukee history.
Check with the Milwaukee County Historical Society for the hours the house is open. It is worth a visit!

Immanuel Baptist Church in Lebanon, TN John Hunn, Senior Pastor Welcome to Immanuel! The invitation of Jesus Christ to the whole world is to come find faith hope and love in Him. All of us here at Immanuel would like you to know that we are committed to being partners with Jesus on that mission. We want to help you grow in your faith...we want to help you discover the hope and joy that are in Jesus...and to experience His everlasting love, everyday. Immanuel Baptist Church is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention and affirms the following statements as our common theological framework. All that we do in our planning, programming and proclamation is a result of these things which we believe.
that there is one God, manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into heaven; in the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth; that mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation; that salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ; that those persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven; that baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation. that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head; that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ * in the separation of church and state, but not in the separation of God and government.

As we turn the page on 2016, it's time to ask: What does the new year have in store for the Bay State? Here are five Massachusetts stories to watch unfold in 2017.
As we turn the page on 2016, it's time to ask: What does the new year have in store for the Bay State? Here are five Massachusetts stories to watch unfold in 2017.
1. How will Massachusetts get along with the Trump administration? President-elect Donald Trump had little backing from top-level elected officials in the Bay State. He frequently feuded publicly with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The state's Republican governor, Charlie Baker, refused to endorse Trump and said he didn't cast a vote for president on Election Day. What will that mean once Trump is sworn in? Massachusetts got more than $13 billion in federal funds last fiscal year, roughly a third of which was in the form of competitive grants the state won. Will federal grant funds for Massachusetts dry up under Trump, who wrote about the joy of taking revenge in his 2007 book?
2. Will the commercial marijuana industry get off the ground? Following passage of a ballot question on Election Day, marijuana became legal for recreational use effective Dec. 15. While it's now legal for Massachusetts adults to possess and grow limited amounts of the drug, State Treasurer Deborah Goldberg and state lawmakers are expected to spend much of 2017 setting up the regulatory framework for a pot retail industry. The first licensed pot shops are expected to open in 2018, but will delays, which plagued the rollout of the state's medical marijuana program, set the schedule back? Lawmakers will likely consider changes to the new law, including hiking the marijuana tax rate or raising the legal pot-smoking age.
3. How will Massachusetts get its budget on track? In early 2017, Baker is expected to release his spending plan for fiscal 2018, which begins July 1, 2017. Fiscal 2017 has been challenging, as tax revenues have fallen short of projections. Baker on Dec. 6 announced nearly $98 million in midyear budget cuts. Will Baker and state lawmakers find enough common ground in budget sessions to avoid a repeat next year? Will tax revenues rebound in the new year?
4. Although the presidential election is firmly in the past, focus will turn to municipal elections in 2017. There are 34 cities, including Boston, that have mayoral posts and city council seats on the local ballot in November 2017. By fall of 2017, the field of candidates running for governor in 2018 will also likely begin to take shape. Newton Mayor Setti Warren recently announced he won't seek another term as mayor, sparking speculation that he may be considering a run against Baker.
5. Will the law keep pace with new technologies and innovations? Boston is launching a yearlong program to test autonomous, self-driving cars and is expected to develop policy recommendations. Meanwhile, Massachusetts passed a law in August to regulate ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Some lawmakers have said they anticipate early 2017 will see a legislative debate on regulations for Airbnb, a web-based app that lets people rent their homes on a short-term basis. Lodging rented through such services is not currently subject to the same standards and regulations as traditional hotels and motels.

Redwood Community Radio
Annual Membership Meeting and
Board of Directors Meeting
June 25, 2013
Healy Senior Center, 456 Briceland Road, Redway
I. Call to Order: Meeting Ground Rules & opening comments
II. Roll Call: Suzanne Beers, President, Board-elected; Siena Klein, Vice President, Member's Rep; Julia Minton, Treasurer, Members' Rep; Noel Soucy, Secretary, Programmers' Rep; Nella White, Members' Rep; Antonia Lamb, board-elected; Marcy Stein, Programmers' Rep; ex officio member: Jeanette Todd, Station Manager.
Absent: Jordan Jumpshot, Programmer's Rep.
III. Staff Reports
Jeanette Todd: Station Manager. Jeanette reported that we started broadcasting to Northern Humboldt in 1993. It's important that we ask YOU the members, what kind of content do we want to be broadcasting to this area with roughly 250,000 people? In my report you'll see statistics about where our members and underwriters live. There are a lot more underwriters than some of us thought in Northern Humboldt. We don't have so many northern members – and some say "we don't want to pay for that northern signal upgrade." We had a financial crunch last August and have done budget work since then. We are still short of a balanced budget, so we need to redefine roles and positions within KMUD to save money. There are some layoffs happening now, and we're being very thoughtful about that. The Treasurer and Finance Committee have recommended that we reduce the staff budget by $30,000, and that's not easy. Our Pledge Drives have come in $40,000 short. We raised the goal to $125,000 to be more realistic about what we need to run the station. I don't want to make these decisions unilaterally at all; so I'm glad to see so many people here. I want your input about where we go from here. There will be a special Pledge Drive in late August. BR and behr will coordinate that. Some stations do four each year, but I'm not sure that would be good for us. We've realized that we need to keep our operating budget separate from the rest of the budget.
Simon: He is very happy that we have such a vibrant News Department. All energy put into the News Dept. is worth it. Also attended NFCB; it's always great to meet with folks from other stations and compare strategies. We are now utilizing our Music Library Addition, though heating and A/C are not yet installed. Equipment in there creates heat so we need to do that. Dave Smith did a great job creating Studio D (applause), and we're trying to set up equipment for that inexpensively. Some people have reported signal difficulties after the Signal Upgrade; I'm open to all feedback. I've made a few adjustments so far. We have HD radios available for a donation. Pretty soon we'll start an HD 2. One of our former talk show hosts, Rick Thorngate, died recently. He would end his show with the saying, "Stay healthy, stay holy, and you'll most assuredly stay high."
BR Graham: I'm the UW Representative, and I like to call it Business Support. My report is in the packet. Several new underwriters this year. We now have more slots available to sell, the potential for six per hour including special ones for the CSAR and other features. We have raised our rates a bit. Business support will grow as listenership grows. Should businesses be able to use the Class Ads? She's had an idea of a "Club Calendar" in which clubs pay for listings.
Cynthia Click, Music Director: Unlike at some stations, I don't tell people what to play. I'm basically the music librarian. We recently received the digital devices to back up our music. We've talked about this for a long time and I'm excited to be here when it's happening. Barbara and Lynn are a huge help in the Music Library. I'm also responsible for filing our Sound Exchange reports. Four times a year we give them two weeks of playlists. Fortunately Cindy Martin volunteers a lot for this. Bud Rogers is building wonderful shelves. The problem of music theft continues. Even once our music is digitized, I'll want to solve that problem. There is a lot of information on the CD and album covers. Vinyl will be locked up and people can check them out from me.
Terri Klemetson, News Director: Describes the staff in the News Dept. Describes Community Journalists Project and Emergency Response Team trainings. Emergency professionals will visit the ERT trainings soon. Terri was invited to be part of a media panel in a VOAD training in Eureka recently (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster). The room was full of non-profit leaders, emergency service personnel, and county people. Connor Jepson and Natalia Estrada joined the News Team. Natalia will soon be the News Director at KRFH, the student-run station at HSU, and Connor is the manager of that station. She attended Access Humboldt's recent forum on "The Future of Local News," which included Center for Investigative Reporting and others. This included discussion of the challenge of fundraising for investigative journalism. Friends of KMUD News was created to address this. Its fundraising ebbs and flows between KMUD Pledge Drives. Hopes to bring some Pulitzer Prize winning speakers to the area this fall to raise funds. Jeanette, Julia, Amie and Terri have been working on grant proposals. The NFCB Conference inspired many collaborations, and she thanks the board for funding her attendance, it was amazing.
President's Report: Suzanne Beers presented Brian Elie with a certificate of lifetime membership and a KMUD sweatshirt in appreciation of his hard work to sell Roy L. Fitch's property, which was bequeathed to KMUD. She thanked Jeanette for being a fabulous Station Manager. She thanked Julia for bringing in the new DonorSnap database. She spoke about opening a quasi-endowment account at HAF so that people can invest in the station that they love. We have established a reserve account of $67,000 from the Marian Mapes-Bouck estate, to avoid financial crises in the future. Our Website Committee is doing stellar work, as is our News Department. As Simon said, the new studio deserves a news article, it's fabulous. Now for the challenges. We're all quite aware that we're in a recession, and that CPB has reduced this year's grant by $5,000. Payroll taxes have increased. KHSU is now competing with us in Southern Humboldt. Where is the technology leading? Is HD the end-point of technological advancements? As we do our Strategic Plan, we need to think about challenges.
Treasurer's Report Julia Minton. I came back on the board a year ago, I really had my work cut out for me. If I were to write up my experiences with KMUD finances, it would have to be a book. I'm open to your input and constructive criticism. Balancing the budget has been a huge priority. Since the cash crunch last August, this became a huge priority. We've been asset rich and cash poor. It's rare for stations to own their building and equipment. Part of the reason for the cash crunch was the way we entered into the Signal Upgrade. CPB paid for a vast majority of the Upgrade, and we paid for the rest thanks to Marian's estate. We had to pay for everything up front, and wait for reimbursement. This caused the cash crunch. We received our last CPB reimbursement just last month. We appreciate the two very generous KMUD supporters who bought the Spyrock mortgage note for a better price than any bank would have given. When I first got on the Finance Committee, if I recall correctly we were cashing out the last of our CDs that were a reserve. We currently have $67,000 tucked away as a reserve; we hope to eventually have $250,000. A financial consultant recommended that we create a secured line of credit. This is a good idea, and we are going to use our reserve to create this. Finance Com recommended that we reduce staffing costs by $15-30,000. We also recognize that we need a sustainable budget, including a separation of operating expenses from special projects funded by bequests or other funding. It's been hard to get the budget deficit down and we invite your input on how to get to balance. The Signal Upgrade was funded by CPB and Marian's estate, not by our members and donors. We knew that as we entered into it. We have so much to be proud of in our 26 year history, and our future is bright. We will soon develop some contingency budgets to deal with possible CPB funding cuts and other issues.
IV. Open Time - Speakers will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed 5 minutes - Members, listeners, programmers, staff
Felix Omai- Its really time to talk about the strategic plan. She is wondering if the strategic planning process requires a re-write of the mission statement.
Simon Frech- Vision statement needs a little work. It sounds silly. Its really weird for a radio station, and we need to look at the Mission Statement.
Mark Marchese- Introducing himself to the Board and Members. He is interested in serving. He has some experience in radio, and has served on Boards for childcare. He had a late-night radio show for around five years. He thinks his diverse experience might be helpful to the Board.
Jeff Wright- From the Mendocino Coast. He feels that its an honor to be here with KMUD, he is really greatful for all the volunteers and paid staff. He has a question. Is it KLAI or 'clay'? Klay-Mud? He has so much gratitude for the people that bequeathed their land to KMUD.
Rick Cooper- The last time he addressed a meeting, it was the very first KMUD membership meeting. Its great to see how many people turned out today. Jeannette asked the question what does KMUD do right. Rick has some perspective on what KMUD is doing right. KMUD is excellent at public affairs. The news is getting very much better. KMUD serves all the local businesses in a variety of ways. It was great to stumble into the live broadcast of local sports games this last weekend. The emergency information KMUD provides is really important. Also the Block Party is really important. Its free and open to everyone. He thanks everyone for keeping it going. Should we keep the hard-core KMUD? His answer- absolutely. We should not dilute ourselves down to nothing to serve outside interests. He thinks the signal upgrades are really important. Thank you.
Kim Peterson- Kim wants to be considered as a KMUD Board member. She has lived in Southern Humboldt her whole life. She raised her kids on KMUD, and wants to volunteer for KMUD by running for the Board.
Bob Stern- Really happy to see the financial situation has been stabilized. It was great that Brian managed to do all the great work selling the properties. On the financial front, he thinks that $30,000 in cuts is not enough. We either need more cuts or other ways to better balance the budget. He was a little confused why we used our reserves to get a line of credit. Its not just a way to draw money out to pay for things we can't pay for. It needs to set aside for emergencies. If we set up a digital library, we need to go for high quality. MP3s suck and he doesn't think that they are good enough to broadcast on the radio.
Bob Froelich- He was prompted by something Simon said. (He reads his interpretation of how the mission statement should read...) He encourages us not to for a regular mission statement.
Jack- He is impressed. We are not just a bunch of hippies with spare time.
Christine Doyka- Is really impressed. She wrote a statement on what she could add to the Board. She has no experience in radio. She is retired. Appreciates KMUD. What you all do is wonderful, and board meetings are overwhelming.Her background is in schools. She was the school psychologist. She ended up doing a lot of mediation between irate parents and teachers. She has a lot of skills at mediation. She raised three boys. She loves KMUD. She really appreciates all the volunteers at KMUD.
V. Final call for Member Representative nominations for the Board-
Christine Doyka, Mark Marchese, Kim McPherson, and Nella White
VI. Strategic Planning Input Process Introduction
----------- Break for FOOD and Strategic Planning Input ------------
Board Meeting Agenda
Approval of Minutes: May- Marcy moves to table the May Minutes. Antonia seconds. Unanimous with Nella not present.Approval of Agenda- Julia moves to approve the Agenda. Suz seconds. Unanimous.
Open Time: Speakers will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed 5 minutes
Jeff Wright- He wanted to bring up a couple of things that KMUD does that's great. Like how we encourage new programmers, especially the kids. He loves Syd the Kid. They are gutting the schools, so this is awesome. I am Spartacus. Everyone needs to step up to the plate. We really with the station have Homeland Security. Can't call a cell phone number at any other station. Announcements about all the emergencies like Tsunami alerts. KZYX and KMUD were the only two stations that had live people, the rest were Clear Channeling it. Thank you.
Suz- Thank you.
Rick Cooper- He wants to go back to terms we use in the Strategic Plan: Alternative Programming, Accessibility, and Area Specific Financial Accountability. Alternative programming- an alternative to mainstream commercial radio. KMUD has this in the Public Affairs arena, but we need to improve in music. We need to have more music that isn't heard on mainstream radio. ( like classic rock.) Accessibility to the airwaves- many programmers get on the air and then feel they own their spot. Accessibility should mean that qualified community members that have passed all the requirements should get a show if they have a program that promotes alternative radio. This also means accessibility to airwaves for seniors to seniors. Not just all the baby boomers. We need to do more outreach. Area Specific Financial Accountability- KMUD is a well tuned Volkswagen. Rick sat down with the folks at KHSU and they wanted a Cadillac. Rick said he wanted a well-tuned Volkswagen. How can we keep this station afloat? If we have an electric bill like the one in Eureka or in Laytonville. we can then form area-specific CABs that would fund-raise for those costs. What would the founding fathers have done? We need to be a tight machine.
Suz-Thank you.
Katie Maguire- Fundraising- Katie appreciates all the work we do for fundraising. Katie is very concerned about the fundraising, since we have a negative total for it. She is really concerned since we are taking on ROTR. If we are going to do Reggae, than every single one of you that made that vote need to make this happen. Every single one of the Board Members needs volunteer or send a surrogate. This is a huge undertaking, but everyone needs to take part in this and we can't afford to pay volunteers. Katie will definitely help back this up, but Jeanette can not be in charge of heading up the coffee booth at Reggae. This is part of your fiscal responsibility.
Suz- Thanks.
Mya Byers- Came all the way from Bell Springs road today. When she first moved here, she had a radio. She really appreciates KMUD. The community really appreciates KMUD because alot of people here are isolated, and KMUD isn't the over-produced stuff we hear on mainstream radio.
Suz-Thank you, Mya.
Dian Griffith- Dian is our contract Bookkeeper. We need to cut back on fundraising efforts unless we know we are going to be making money. We cant overburden staff with the responsibility of running fundraising efforts. We need to have a Board- Staff retreat. Board members come and go, but Staff has been here for awhile. Other non-profits she works with has them. Staff has a lot of knowledge that needs to be shared with the Board. We need to have a Board Staff retreat before the end of the year.
Suz- We do have Board Staff meetings but you are right we haven't had a retreat.
Terri Klementson- Great comments so far; they've really stimulated my thought process. Since the staff is facing cuts, and the News Dept. is worrying about paying reporters and working on fundraising (while worrying about conflicting with other KMUD fundraising.) Please focus on the finances and fundraising, and please choose new board members who have experience in these arenas. I know fundraising is Jeanette's job and I'm not sure where the micro-managing line is drawn. Is outreach our job descriptions? I feel like KMUD has been dying ever since I stepped foot in KMUD. I don't feel that the Program Director is doing outreach, and I've said that to her. We have no subs for the News Engineers, and many music shows, and it's not acceptable. Many other stations criticize our Public Affairs shows because people can say anything they want – we need an ethics code for them and I have drafted some ideas and given to the PD, and I'd like that to be followed up sooner than later. We haven't told the community for years that they can be involved. Thinks the Vision Statement should be specific to our work in radio. When Sarah was here we had a Listener Survey. I have never seen the results or used that data – that would be really valuable. And I'd like to see more of that info gathering. Doesn't agree with the "alternative programming" definition, but does agree that we're missing major parts of our demographic. And we could appeal better to our entire community of potential listeners. Please do outreach for the CAB's, they could be doing a better job.
Suz- Suz would like to see the survey results. Can we do that?
Julia- Concerned about the quality of the data.
Suz- Would like to get some more clear ideas to get this on the agenda. Outreach/ Talking points- we know this has been weak point, but we are trying to get this together. We will ask people who don't make it onto the Board to be on the CAB.
Sheila Tracy- There needs to be a protocol for the CABs so that their input can be acted upon.
Suz- Thank you.
Kelley Lincoln- KMUD really speaks to a lot of people and we have wide-open doors. She really likes the Mission Statement. We are really no longer are about finding the best and the brightest... we need to be figure out how to go out and find the best and the brightest. She wants to thank us very much for doing off-air fundraising. The Board needs to be a lot more active about fundraising. Our Volunteer Coordinator... We do have all this local programming and that's what makes KMUD KMUD. Seven to eight am needs to local programming. We really need to get back to the roots of our people powered radio. We need to expect reciprocity for our programmers. They need to pay their membership, and donate volunteer hours.
Suz- Thank you. The Board is aware that we have been neglecting some of our responsibilities for fundraising, but we plan to get back on it.
Julia- The CAB has recently doubled or tripled. CAB recommendations may get stuck in the bubble, but we should still be actively recruiting for the CABS. We are going in the right direction.
BR- CABs are mandated by law. The information from the CABs comes through the Board to the Program Director or the Program Review Committee and needs to be incorporated.
Rick- Has a deep appreciation for new rock. So when he hears the youth in radio slot with rotating hosts he thinks its great. So there was a guy in there for ten years, and he wasn't offered his own slot. A slot opens up and goes to someone with a classic rock show. This is a tragedy.
BR-People who care about Rodeo Radio are listening.
Suz- wants to thank everyone who contributed during this open time and the annual meeting open time.
Management Report – See written report in Board Packet.
Discussion/Questions for Management
• Most of the discussion involves ROTR coffee booth. The Board is uncomfortable with the lack of wristbands available for the ROTR coffee booth volunteers, and the possibility of taking a loss at this event. The sentiment is we want to support the Mateel, but we can't do it at a loss while burning out our volunteers.
• When cutting office hours and other services to meet our budget, we need to make sure that we are still in compliance with the FCC.

B.Consider Community Advisory Board Appointment – Rick Cooper- Nella moved to table this item. Siena seconds. Rick wants to make a statement to this item. Unanimous tabled.
Rick- Describes his qualifications for this position. He is aware that some people on the CAB do not want to work with him. He sent an email to the Board this morning and wants the Board to keep in mind that there are a lot of people at KMUD that haven't gotten along over the years. But when they get through the door they focus on the goals, and let the personal issues aside. It's the Board's responsibility to vote on CAB members based on their qualifications, not who gets along with who. He hopes that the Board will keep this in mind when they make the decision about his appointment.

The culprit was the thaw and heavy rains that came down recently in this area. The section involved is the oldest section (southern section) of Edgehill Cemetery in Colpoy's Bay, Albemarle Township, South Bruce Peninsula, Bruce County, Ontario.
The creek above the cemetery overflowed. The graves in this area are from the early 20th century.The Grey Bruce Health Unit sent an inspector to assess the situation.
The full newspaper article from December 31, 2008 "No threat from grave damage" is on the newspaper's site with photos by James Masters shown in a video. Mayor Gwen Gilbert is quoted
that she expects recommendations on repairs once the municipal office reopens next week.
Staff will be making some recommendations as to how to restore the site as quickly as possible while maintianing the dignity of the persons and the families involved.
The cemetery is closed from public visitiation as a safety measure until work can be done. The municipality placed a notice in the December 30 edition of the newspaper "Notice to Relative of Persons buried in Edgehill-Colpoy's Bay Cemetery. "The municiaplity is attempting to contact relatives of those graves involved and maintain the security and dignity of the area."
This is the first time I have heard of flooding and erosion problems in cemeteries in this area. I am pleased that the municipality is trying its best to protect the area and to preserve the sanctity of this cemetery.

By Caroline McGraw [1] Feb 09, 2012 2 [2]
On Getting Lost ... and Found
It's almost that time again: Time for me to venture forth to go and pick up medications for my brother. This happens approximately three times per year, and it involves a drive to the outermost reaches of the DC Metro area, in Maryland, far from New Jersey but close enough to Washington.
I've done this before, so I know how it will all play out. After arranging the pickup times with my mom, I'll travel to the doctor's house. (This doctor has a production license but lacks a shipping license for my brother's particular type of hormone therapy.) My family's pickup-and-ship method is entirely above-board and legal, but I feel a bit vulnerable each time. In fact, feel the same way I feel when I pick up medication for my husband at CVS. I've had time to consider why I feel this way, and I think it's because there's something so inherently personal about medication. There's a level of trust [3] that needs to be there; a high level of responsibility vested in me that I want to be worthy of.
In the course of the drive, I'll turn down the various Courts and Roads of the doctor's subdivision, each one looking the same as the last. It's an hour's drive each way for me, but I remind myself that the medication's actually working. I'm happy to offer two hours of my time on a semi-regular basis toward something that helps my brother to feel and act calmer.
Once I arrive, I'll pull the car over to the side of the cul-de-sac and step out, my legs aching. Try as I may to avoid it, I usually hit traffic, and arrive later than planned. I always think that I've missed a key turn, but in reality I tend to forget how far away the house actually is, and I worry I've missed turns when I haven't gone far enough yet.
The first time I went to pick up those medications, I got an hour's worth of lost, another hour's worth of traffic, and a full heart's worth of sorrow for the guilt in my mother's voice when I called her to ask for help. I cried, and she looked for my roads on her map. They were too small, and I was too lost. I hung up, and made my way there with the help of the doctor's assistant.
Yet every other time since, my directions and my memory have sufficed, and I know that they will again. I'll ring the bell, and I'll be ushered into the house, which is cluttered but pleasant, a cool air suffusing the space. A cheery assistant will meet me, saying something like, "I talk to your mommy a lot," as though I'm about five years old. To this I will reply, "I bet." The doctor will gather the medications and hand them to me. As always, I'll check to make sure my brother's name is there. William Fischer. I will sigh with relief, because I tend to doubt this while I'm driving: That the help we need will be there [4], bubble-wrapped, intact.
We're done. I'll say thank you, and as the door closes behind me it will be all I can do not to keen and wail the doctor's spacious yard, beside the streaming fountain. In this instant, I know, I will miss my brother [5] with intensity like devastation. But I will keep moving; I won't want to linger in fading light, holding vials that keep the demons of aggression (mostly) at bay.
That's why I called my mother after I'd hung up on her in frustration, on that first, disastrous trip. I will tell you now what I told her then: Mom, Mom, I love him again.
