Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
"Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. 'Keep the historical facts accurate,' he would say. 'Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'"

"I'm gonna hang you tomorrow at sunup, Sam Flintlock, an' I can't guarantee to break your damned neck on account of how I never hung anybody afore," the sheriff said. "I'll try, lay to that, but you see how it is with me."
"The hammering stopped about an hour ago, so I figured my time was near," Flintlock said.
"A real nice gallows, you'll like it," Sheriff Dave Cobb said. "An' I'll make sure it's hung with red, white and blue bunting so you can go out in style. You'll draw a crowd, Sam. If'n that makes you feel better."
"This pissant town railroaded me into a noose, Cobb. You know it and I know it," Flintlock said.
"Damnit, boy, you done kilt Smilin' Dan Sedly and just about everybody in this valley was kissin' kin o' his. Ol' Dan was a well-liked man."
"He was wanted by the law for bank robbery and murder," Flintlock said.
"Not in this town he wasn't," Cobb said.
The sheriff was a middle-aged man and inclined to be jolly by times. He was big in the belly and a black, spade-shaped beard spread over the lapels of a broadcloth suit coat that looked to be half as old as he was.
"No hard feelings, huh, Sam?" he said. "I mean about the hangin' an' all. Like I told you, I'll do my best. I've been reading a book about how to set the noose an' sich an' I reckon I'll get it right."
"I got no beef against you, Cobb," Flintlock said. "You're the town lawman and you've got a job to do."
"How old are you, young feller?" the lawman said.
"Forty. I guess."
"Still too young to die." Cobb sighed. "Ah well, tell you what, I'll bring you something nice for your last meal tonight. How about steak and eggs? You like steak and eggs?"
"I don't much care, Sheriff, but there's one thing you can do for me."
"Just ask fer it. I'm a giving, generous man. Dave Cobb by name, Dave Cobb by nature, I always say."
"Let me have my grandpappy's old Hawken rifle," Flintlock said. "It will be a comfort to me."
Doubt showed in Cobb's face. "Now, I don't know about that. That's agin all the rules."
"Hell, Cobb, the Hawken hasn't been shot in thirty, forty years," Flintlock said. "I ain't much likely to use it to bust out of jail."
"You're a strange one, Sam Flintlock," the lawman said. "Why did you carry that old gun around anyhow?"
"Call me sentimental, Cobb. It was left to me as a legacy, like."
"See, my problem is, Sam, you could use that old long gun as a club. Bash my brains out when I wasn't lookin'."
"Not that rifle, I won't. Your head is too thick, Sheriff. I might damage the stock."
Cobb thought for a while, his shaggy black eyebrows beetling. Finally he smiled and said, "All right, I'll bring it to you. But I see you making any fancy moves with that old Hawken, I'll shoot your legs off so you can still live long enough to be hung. You catch my drift?"
"You have my word, Sheriff, I won't give you any trouble."
Cobb nodded. "Well, you're a personable enough feller, even though you ain't so well set up an' all, so I'll take you at your word."
"I appreciate it," Flintlock said. "See, I'm named for that Hawken."
"Your real name Hawken, like?"
"No. My grandpappy named me for a flintlock rifle, seeing as how I never knew my pa's name."
"Hell, why didn't he give you his own name, that grandpa of yourn?"
"He said every man should have his father's name. He told me he'd call me Flintlock after the Hawken until I found my ma and she told me who my pa was and what he was called."
"You ever find her?"
"No. I never did, but I'm still on the hunt for her. Or at least I was."
"Your grandpa was a mountain man?"
"Yeah, he was with Bridger an' Hugh Glass an' them, at least for a spell. Then he helped survey the Platte and the Sweetwater with Kit Carson and Fremont."
"Strange, restless breed they were, mountain men."
"You could say that."
"I'll bring you the Hawken, but mind what I told you, about shootin' off a part of yourself."
"I ain't likely to forget," Flintlock said.
"Pssst ..."
Sam Flintlock sat up on his cot, his mind cobwebbed by sleep.
"Pssst ..."
What was that? Rats in the corners again?
"Hell, look up here, stupid."
Flintlock rose to his feet. There was a small barred window high on the wall of his cell where a bearded face looked down at him.
"I see you're prospering, Sammy," the man said, grinning. "Settin' all nice and cozy in the town hoosegow."
Flintlock scowled. "Come to watch me hang, Abe?"
"Nah, I was just passin' through when I saw the gallows," Abe Roper said. "I asked who was gettin' hung and they said a feller with a big bird tattooed on his throat that goes by the name of Sam Flintlock. I knew it had to be you. There ain't another ranny in the West with a big bird an' that handle."
"Here to gloat, Abe?" Flintlock said. "Gettin' even for old times?"
"Hell, no, I got nothing agin you, Sam. You got me two years in Yuma but you treated me fair and square. An' you gave my old lady money the whole time I was inside. Now why did you do a dumb thing like that?"
"You had growing young 'uns. Them kids had to be fed and clothed."
"Yeah, but why the hell did you do it?"
"I just told you."
"I got no liking for bounty hunters, Sammy, but you was a true-blue white man, taking care of my family like that." Roper was silent for a moment, then said, "Sally and the kids passed about three years ago from the cholera."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Flintlock said. "I can close my eyes and still see their faces."
"It was a hurtful thing, Sam, and me being away on the scout at the time."
"You gonna stick around for the hanging, Abe?" Flintlock said.
"Hell, no, and neither are you."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean there's a barrel of gunpowder against this wall and it's due to go up in"—Roper looked down briefly—"oh, I'd say less than half a minute."
The man waved a quick hand. "Hell, I got to light a shuck."
Flintlock stood rooted to the spot for a moment. Then he yelled a startled curse at Roper, grabbed the rifle off his cot and pulled the mattress on top of him.
A couple of seconds later the Mason City jail blew up with such force its shingle roof soared into the air and landed intact twenty yards away on top of the brand-new gallows. The jail roof and the gallows collapsed in a cloud of dust and killed Sheriff Cobb's pregnant sow that had been wallowing in the mud under the platform.
A shattering shower of adobe and splintered wood rained down on Flintlock and acrid dust filled his lungs. He threw the mattress aside and staggered to his feet, just as Abe Roper kicked aside debris and stepped through the hole in the jailhouse wall.
"Sam, get the hell out of there," Roper said. "I got your hoss outside."
Flintlock grabbed the Hawken, none the worse for wear, and stumbled outside.
As Roper swung into the saddle, Chinese Charlie Fong, grinning as always, tossed Flintlock the reins of a paint.
"Good to see you again, Sammy," Fong said.
"Feeling's mutual, Charlie," Flintlock said.
He mounted quickly and ate Roper's dust as he followed the outlaw out of town at a canter.
Roper turned in the saddle. "Crackerjack bang, Sammy, huh? Have you ever seen the like?"
"Son of a gun, you could've killed me," Flintlock said.
"So what? Who the hell would miss ya?" Roper said.
"Somebody's gonna miss this paint pony I'm riding," Flintlock said.
"Hell, yeah, it's the sheriff's hoss," Roper grinned. "Better than the ten-dollar mustang you rode in on, Sam."
"Damn you, Abe, Cobb's gonna hang me, then hang me all over again for hoss theft," Flintlock said.
"Well, he'll have to catch you first," Roper said, kicking his mount into a gallop.
After an hour of riding through the southern foothills of the Chuska Mountains, the massive rampart of red sandstone buttes and peaks that runs north all the way to the Utah border, Roper drew rein and he and Flintlock waited until Charlie Fong caught up.
"Where are we headed, Abe?" Flintlock said. "I hope you've got a good hideout all picked out."
He and Roper were holed up in a stand of mixed juniper and piñon. A nearby high meadow was thick with yellow bells and wild strawberry, and the waning afternoon air smelled sweet of pine and wildflowers.
"We're headed for Fort Defiance, up in the old Navajo country. It's been abandoned for years but the army's moved back, temporary-like, until ol' Geronimo is either penned up or dead."
Flintlock scratched at a bug bite under his buckskin shirt and said, "Is that wise, me riding into an army fort when I'm on the scout?"
"There ain't no fightin' sodjers there, Sammy, just cooks an' quartermasters an' the like," Roper said. "All the cavalry is out, lookin' fer Geronimo an' them."
"We gonna stay in an army barracks?" Flintlock said. "Say it ain't so."
"Nah, me an' Charlie got us a cabin near the officers' quarters, a cozy enough berth if you're not a complainin' man."
Roper peered hard at Flintlock's rugged, unshaven face and then his throat. "Damnit, Sam, I never did get used to looking at that big bird, even when we rode together."
"I was raised rough," Flintlock said. "You know that."
"Old Barnabas do that to you?" Roper said, passing the makings.
"He wanted it done, but when I was twelve he got an Assiniboine woman to do the tattooing. As I recollect, it hurt considerable."
"What the hell is it? Some kind of eagle?"
Flintlock built his cigarette and Roper gave him a match. "It's a thunderbird." He thumbed the match into flame and lit his cigarette. "Barnabas wanted a black and red thunderbird, on account of how the Indians reckon it's a sacred bird."
"He wanted it that big? Hell, it pretty much covers your neck and down into your chest."
"Barnabas said folks would remember me because of the bird. He told me that a man folks don't remember is of no account."
"He was a hard old man, was Barnabas, him and them other mountain men he hung with. A tough, mean bunch as ever was."
"They taught me," Flintlock said. "Each one of them taught me something."
"Like what, for instance?"
"They taught me about whores and whiskey and how to tell the good ones from the bad. They taught me how to stalk a man and how to kill him. And they taught me to never answer a bunch of damned fool questions."
Roper laughed. "Sounds like old Barnabas and his pals all right."
"One more thing, Abe. You saved my life today, and they taught me to never forget a thing like that."
Roper, smiling, watched a hawk in flight against the dark blue sky, then again directed his attention to Flintlock.
"You ever heard of the Golden Bell of Santa Elena, Sam?" he said.
"Can't say as I have."
"You will. And after I tell you about it, I'll ask you to repay the favor you owe me."
"Are you sure you saw deer out here, Captain Shaw? It might have been a shadow among the trees."
"Look at the tracks in the wash, Major. Deer have passed this way and not long ago."
"I see tracks all right," Major Philip Ashton said. He looked around him. "But I'm damned if I see any deer."
"Sir, may I suggest we move farther up the wash as far as the foothills," Captain Owen Shaw said. "Going on dusk the deer will move out of the timber."
Ashton, a small, compact man with a florid face, an affable disposition and a taste for bonded whiskey, nodded. "As good a suggestion as any, Captain. We'll wait until dark and if we don't see a deer we'll leave it for another day."
"As you say, sir," Shaw said.
He watched the major walk ahead of him. Like himself, Ashton wore civilian clothes but he carried a regulation Model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifle. Shaw was armed with a .44-40 Winchester because he wanted nothing to go wrong on this venture, no awkward questions to be answered later.
Major Ashton, who had never held a combat command, carried his rifle at the slant, as though advancing on an entrenched enemy and not a herd of nonexistent mule deer.
Shaw was thirty years old that spring. He'd served in a frontier cavalry regiment, but he'd been banished to Fort Defiance as a commissary officer after a passionate, though reckless, affair with the young wife of a farrier sergeant.
Shaw wasn't at all troubled by his exile. It was safer to dole out biscuit and salt beef than do battle with Sioux and Cheyenne warriors.
Of course, the Apaches were a problem, but since the Navajo attacked the fort in 1858 and 1860 and both times were badly mauled, it seemed that the wily Geronimo was giving the place a wide berth.
That last suited Captain Shaw perfectly. He had big plans and they sure as hell didn't involve Apaches.
The wash, dry now that the spring melt was over, made a sharp cut to the north and the two officers followed it through a grove of stunted juniper and willow onto a rocky plateau bordered by thick stands of pine.
In the distance the fading day painted the Chuska peaks with wedges of deep lilac shadow and out among the foothills coyotes yipped. The jade sky was streaked with banners of scarlet and gold, the streaming colors of the advancing night.
Major Ashton walked onto the plateau, his attention directed at the pines. His rifle at the ready, he stopped and scanned the trees with his field glasses.
Without turning his head, he said, "Nothing moving yet, Captain."
Shaw made no answer.
"You have a buck spotted?" the major whispered.
Again, he got no reply.
Ashton turned.
Shaw's rifle was pointed right at his chest.
"What in blazes are you doing, Captain Shaw?" Ashton said, his face alarmed.
"Killing you, Major."
Owen Shaw fired.
The soft-nosed .44-40 round tore into the major's chest and plowed through his lungs. Even as the echoing report of the Winchester racketed around the plateau, Ashton fell to his hands and knees and coughed up a bouquet of glistening red blossoms.
Shaw smiled and shot Ashton again, this time in the head. The major fell on his side and all the life that remained in him fled.
Moving quickly, Shaw stood over Ashton and fired half a dozen shots into the air, the spent cartridge cases falling on and around the major's body.
He then pulled a Smith & Wesson .32 from the pocket of his tweed hunting jacket, placed the muzzle against his left thigh and pulled the trigger. A red-hot poker of pain burned across Shaw's leg, but when he looked down at the wound he was pleased. It was only a flesh wound but it was bleeding nicely, enough to make him look a hero when he rode into Fort Defiance.
Limping slightly, Shaw retraced his steps along the dry wash to the place where he and Ashton had tethered their horses. He looked behind him and to his joy saw that he'd left a blood trail. Good! There was always the possibility that a cavalry patrol had returned to the fort and their Pima scouts could be bad news. The blood would help his cover-up.
He gathered up the reins of the major's horse and swung into the saddle. There was no real need to hurry but he forced his horse into a canter, Ashton's mount dragging on him.
It was an officer's duty to recover the body of a slain comrade, but Ashton had been of little account and not well liked. When Shaw told of the Apache ambush and his desperate battle to save the wounded major, that little detail would be overlooked.
And his own bloody wound spoke loud of gallantry and devotion to duty.
Lamps were already lit when Captain Owen Shaw rode into Fort Defiance, a sprawling complex of buildings, some of them ruins, grouped around a dusty parade ground.
He staged his entrance well.
Not for him to enter at a gallop and hysterically warn of Apaches, rather he slumped in the saddle and kept his horse to a walk ... the wounded warrior's noble return.
He was glad that just as he rode past the sutler's store, big, laughing Sergeant Patrick Tone stepped outside, a bottle of whiskey tucked under his arm.
"Sergeant," Shaw said, making sure he sounded exhausted and sore hurt, "sound officer's call. Direct the gentlemen to the commandant's office."

Anthony Franklin of North Amityville charged with shooting grandfather of daughter's schoolmate, police say
A North Amityville man was arrested Wednesday in connection with a shooting that wounded the grandfather of a boy he suspected pulled his daughter's hair on a school bus Tuesday, Suffolk police said.
Police said Anthony Franklin, 28, was upset that his 6-year-old daughter had her hair pulled by another student on the bus to school. At about 3:50 p.m. Tuesday, he went to the Albany Avenue home of the boy who he believed was involved.
Franklin got into an argument with Wilson McWilliams, the boy's grandfather, police said, adding that he pulled out a gun and shot McWilliams twice before fleeing.
McWilliams, 48, was taken by police helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.
Franklin, of 61 E. Greenwich Ave., was charged with second-degree assault, police said. He is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Thursday.

MDRNA, Inc. has reported data demonstrating greater efficacy in tumor reduction in an orthotopic model of bladder cancer with multiple combinations of two UsiRNAs as compared to single target therapy.
The data were presented by Michael V. Templin, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Preclinical Development at MDRNA, Inc., at TIDES Oligonucleotide and Peptide® Technology and Product Development/IBC's 2nd Annual Oligonucleotide Therapeutic Discovery April 25-28, 2010 in Boston, MA.
Fibroblast Growth Factor 3 (FGFR3), HRAS and Polo-Like Kinase 1 (PLK-1) were selected based on their known molecular alterations in bladder cancer and key roles in cancer cell progression. FGFR3 and HRAS are overexpressed in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and play a role in tumor recurrence.
Survivin, a protein involved in cell division and inhibition of apoptosis, is associated with tumor pathology, and its over-expression is associated with more serious tumor classifications and therefore the potential for more severe disease. PLK1, a protein involved in cell division and tumor progression, has been shown to play a role in cell proliferation in several cancer types. The diversity in these, as well as other genes identified in bladder cancer highlights the underlying heterogeneity of cancer in general, and supports the importance of a combination approach to inhibit critical targets. MDRNA has developed highly potent UsiRNAs for each of these targets.
To assess the impact of a multi-target approach on tumor growth in vivo, a survivin UsiRNA was paired with FGFR3, HRAS, or PLK1 UsiRNAs and compared to the survivin UsiRNA alone. All UsiRNAs were encapsulated in the Company's proprietary DiLA2-based formulation, and delivered directly to the bladder (intravesical) in an orthotopic cancer model.
For the survivin/PLK1 combination, tumor bioluminescence and survivin mRNA expression was notably lower (~30% for each endpoint) when compared to a survivin alone. Similar results for tumor bioluminescence and mRNA were found with the survivin/FGFR3 combination. With survivin/HRAS there was a ~40% greater decrease in tumor bioluminescence and ~50% greater inhibition of survivin mRNA.
MDRNA Announces Combinations of UsiRNAs in DiLA2 Show Improved Efficacy in Bladder Cancer Model

Court: Ohio can tax out-of-state companies' online sales
Commercial activity tax established in 2005
Commercial activity tax established in 2005
The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that the state can impose its primary business tax on out-of-state companies that sell to Ohioans but have no physical presence in the state.
Three out-of-state businesses had challenged Ohio's application of its commercial activity tax.
They claimed that imposing it across state lines violates the U.S. Constitution's commerce clause, which gives Congress authority over interstate commerce.
But in a 5-2 decision Thursday, the state court found that Ohio can impose the tax on companies that do millions of dollars in online sales to its residents.
The court decided the commerce clause doesn't prevent the state from collecting the tax, which is levied as a "privilege of doing business" in Ohio.
Justice William M. O'Neill determined that while a physical presence in a state may be required to impose the obligation to collect sales taxes and use taxes on an out-of-state seller, that requirement does not apply to a business tax on an interstate company.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sharon L. Kennedy wrote the U.S. Supreme Court issued the last word on taxing out-of-state companies in 1992, in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota when it ruled that a physical presence is required.
She asserted that only Congress or the U.S. Supreme Court can change the current state of the law on taxing interstate commerce.
The state's commercial activity tax, or CAT, was established in 2005.

Fall has been an amazingly packed season so far. Our seven action groups and our steering committee approved our Community Vision in September. This vision was drafted in a workshop this summer. Please click here for more details on that event. The vision below has gone through several rounds of notes and we will continue to strive for it and tweak it accordingly as the community sees fit. This is an ideal we are hoping to attain by 2025.
Our Community Vision for the ideal Miller in 2025:
Miller is a beautiful, high density, universally designed neighborhood in Gary, Indiana, known as an active arts community and a destination for beach and waterfront recreation. Miller provides quality education and programs for its youth and a variety of activities for residents of all ages. Inviting gateways and transit options make Miller accessible to visitors from throughout the region, and Miller's inclusive community design make it easy for residents and visitors alike to enjoy the area's activities and natural environment. A vibrant downtown supports a strong business community and provides quality employment opportunities. Resident leadership and initiative create a thriving, safe, and inclusive neighborhood with government, philanthropic, and business support enriching those initiatives. The Miller neighborhood is a vibrant and functional community to live, work, and play in.
From our one-on-one community conversations where our volunteers gathered 4,013 comments, seven themes emerged. We then created seven action groups to address the needs of these themes. Each action group met 3-6+ times between the third week of August and first week of October. Our 76 volunteers meet for a total 56 times!!! They constructed attainable SMART goals to address their group's theme and wrote early action grants to bring attention to their theme as well. For the past two months, Miller Spotlight's 76 volunteers have been constructing attainable goals for these seven themes. These goals will be crafted into their community plan. The plan will be presented in early November 2015 and implemented in 2016.
If you would like to help decide and act upon projects that can profoundly change your community's future, please attend the Miller Spotlight Jamboree. The community will have the opportunity to meet the action group volunteers and give notes on their drafted goals. This feedback will be reviewed before the community plan is finalized. So, come join in the fun, tell Miller Spotlight what your thoughts are, and mingle with your neighbors at the jamboree! They will present these goals at the Miller Spotlight Jamboree on Friday, October 23, 2015. You don't have to be from Miller, or live there to join in the Neighborhood Spotlight process. You just need to care about the revitalization efforts occurring in this community to attend this fun, free family-friendly event on Friday, October 23, 2015 from 4-7:30PM in Marquette Park. Located at 1 North Grand Boulevard Gary, IN 46403, they will be at the picnic area next to the lagoon. Look for a bounce house, basketball hoops and a ton of festive folks.

Meet the fabulous folks chairing our 7 action groups!
Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman
Ken Parr
My name is Ken Parr (Kenneth A. Parr). I am chairing the Transportation and Infrastructure action group. I heard about Miller Spotlight on Facebook. God brought me to the Miller Beach community in 2012. I was searching for a home in Gary in general, but the home I reside in now became available at exactly the right time and at exactly the right price. I am passionate about the Transportation and Infrastructure Action Group because I prefer to walk or bicycle to my destinations. I understand that American urban centers are getting away from an automobile culture, so I want to help my community prepare for a more walkable environment.
Property & Blight Co-Chair
Jennifer White
My name is Jennifer White. I am the co-chair for Property and Blight. I heard about this project from the Miller Arts District website/ facebook. I love the beach, but was looking for an affordable place to own a home and still have access to Chicago. I also wanted to start a non-profit to help struggling communities. Gary was the perfect place, with a wealth of salvageable materials, but a unique community. I started a non-profit to salvage building materials, after seeing so much waste during construction projects as an Architect. I also have a passion for rehab and being part of community revitalization. Miller is a wonderful community with many passionate and diverse residents, with a lot of creative energy behind it.
Property & Blight Co-Chair
Eric Dean Spruth Ma, AKA Vontiki
My name is Eric Dean Spruth Ma, AKA Vontiki. I'm co-chairing Property and Blight: the ultimate transformations program. I heard about Miller Spotlight from a most amazing women named Jessie. The beach, the people the opportunity to be a part of the Renaissance of Gary, In brought me here. I see myself as an escape artist of sorts. I am avid fan and performer of magic, and considers Sacred Transformations his ultimate trick. "For a lot of people, this is about being released and set free," he says. "Let's get you out of this. The biggest escape is escaping the minds we're stuck in mentally and spiritually. Be yourself, be proud." its not about escaping Gary, In. its about staying and continuing to be a small part of the amazing and undeniable transformations and rebirth all the time respecting what was hear and those who never left and have maintained so very much.
Area Context (Engagement and Communication) Chairman
Simeon Burks
My name is Simeon Burks! I'm currently co-chairing the Area Context Action Committee. A friend of mine from Church told me about it, and I've always been interested in Gary's community development. I was born here! I really like the weather (I know) and I love the sense of neighborhood that's lacking in a lot of other places. Just a bunch of friendly people. I believe image is very important for any neighborhood- and as an art major, I feel that I could be of use in designing ways to market Miller.
Environment and Ecotourism Chairwoman
Natalie Johnson
My name is Natalie Johnson and I'm chairing the Environment & Ecotourism Action Group. I heard about this project through the Nextdoor Neighbor App & Legacy Foundation.I moved to Northwest Indiana in 2012 from the St. Louis metropolitan area after landing a job in the region. I knew nothing of Northwest Indiana, nor had I ever heard of Miller. Over the last few years, I experienced a lack of community where I was living in LaPorte County. I was miserable. I didn't think there would ever be a place that I felt would be "home" in this area. I eventually found my way over to Miller in 2014 because I wanted to live a block from the beach. It was the only place that was affordable and, after comparing it with the other beach communities, it seemed to have this warm, welcoming feeling that I had been trying so hard to find. After renting for a year and falling completely in love with the community, I bought my very first home right here. Miller welcomes its newcomers with open arms. It is the place where I have felt the strongest sense of community in the region, and now it's the place where I call home.I have worked in the environmental field for the last ten years, embracing the field as more than just a job, but a part of who I am. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than working with others on environmental themes, sharing this passion with others, and feeding off of each other's enthusiasm. In Miller, we are so fortunate to have such wondrous environmental assets and a community ready to protect and promote their use. It's exciting to come together and talk about such a huge defining piece of the Miller community.
Education/ Youth and Child Programming Chairwoman
Erica Justine Sipp
My name is Erica Justine Sipp and I'm chairing Education/ Youth and Child Programming Miller Spotlight was introduced to me via my sister. We were running errands for her event planning business and found out about the meetings via the local art gallery located on Lake Street. As far as my connection with the community is concerned, I have been in Northwest Indiana for all of my life. I was born in Munster, Indiana, but lived in the Miller community for all of my life. My parents started off in one of the slab homes that used to be on County Line Road. Shortly after I was born, my parents moved into a home that they built for us as a family. I attended elementary school at Fairhaven Baptist Academy located in Chesterton, Indiana, high school at Andrean High School located in Merrillville, Indiana, and completed my undergraduate at Indiana University Northwest. During my undergrad years I lived in Merrillville for a little while but moved back home so that I could attend graduate school. I have been here ever since. I guess what really made me stay after high school may have had something to do with not really being able to afford going to the college of my choice and me not really having a plan for college. At that time, I felt that the experience that I had was somewhat constricted and thought that I really would not be able to explore more and gain exposure until I went away to college. Even with these ideals, I did not have any personal career goals. My parents and I decided that it would be best for me to stay local until I knew as college was and still is a huge investment. Having some type of direction can help with things. I would not say that this was a negative thing as being here has allowed me to witness the ups and down that Miller has had as well as Gary overall. Being aware of what the community used to be and seeing the transition that has happened, both ups and downs, has given me an "homegrown" or authentic experience of what Miller really is and how surrounding populations feel about Miller. The theme of education is something that has been very present in the circles that I participated in. I could not even get away from educational obligations with the jobs that I had growing up. My mother, uncle, and aunt were educators and even though our family members had different occupations, they all were educators themselves. We were always taught that it is important to get an education so that we could better ourselves, have a career, and help to build a life for our families when we start one of our own. Education had a presence in our home and if we were not focused, my parents utilized tools that helped us get back on track. I believe that if we as individuals can provide a system of things similar or better than the educational tools that we were presented with as children, it could be able help to transform what we have now for education into something better. It could possibly lead to children looking at education as a positive thing rather something done out of obligation. I am hoping that this position allows me to bring awareness to all of the different things that the community has to offer for building and developing its youth regarding education and other character building skills.
Safety and Code Enforcement Chairwoman
My name is Carolinda Camisa and I'm chairing Safety and Code Enforcement. I heard about this project from Nextdoor. I grew up in Gary and have always loved the Miller area for the lake and the natural beauty. I've met many wonderful people and reconnected with old friends since moving here. I like the spirit of the community. Local organizations and volunteers have done some great work to improve the area. I chose Safety and Code Enforcement because people need to live in a safe and well-maintained area. Miller and the rest of Gary have so much potential. I want to contribute to reaching that potential.
Economy and Jobs Chairwoman
Derreka Rollins
My name is Derreka Rollins and I'm chairing the Economy and Jobs Action Group.
I met Jessie Renslow at Gary Middle College while she was presenting a project and I was interested to learn more. I am a Gary native. Though I resided in Houston, Texas for two years, my desire was to come back to my home town to take part in redevelopment. I believe economy plays a huge part in the social climate of the city of Gary so by taking an initiative to improve this aspect of the city, the social climate has an opportunity to change, families will be able to thrive and survive.
These awesome folks have been leading our 76 volunteers through the decision stage of Miller Spotlight. Come to the Jamboree on 10/23/15 to see what the goals are so far!

If you're travelling to Luxembourg on holiday – or you're an expat planning to live or work in this small European country – it's important to know about the unique healthcare system, and how to access medical help.
This beautiful place is largely rural, and even its famed capital – Luxembourg City – has strong roots in history, with its cliff-top medieval old town.
That's not to say healthcare skills, hospitals and other medical provision in Luxembourg has not kept up with modern needs. In fact, it has one of the best healthcare services in the EU. It has both state-funded medical provision and a buoyant private healthcare sector.
However, it would be incorrect to imagine that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg provides injury and illness care in exactly the same way as the UK.
Why it's important to know the Luxembourg healthcare situation
Every country has its own way of organising and delivering healthcare. There can also be different systems for residents and visitors, which is certainly true in Luxembourg.
Researching medical care provision and costs before you emigrate to a new country is particularly important, as this gives you important information about your new life in a foreign country, particularly if you have a family. The potential costs of healthcare in countries like Luxembourg could influence your decision making.
If your work is taking you to Luxembourg, you may want to look at arrangements for healthcare with your employer before you agree to the post.
Even if you're going to Luxembourg on holiday or for a short break, it could be valuable to be aware of how health care is organised, in case you have an accident or you're taken ill.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition and you're travelling abroad, understanding where to go for help, and any potential complications or costs, can be vital to avoid delays in treatment, not being able to access medications or bills not covered by your travel insurance.
How healthcare works in Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, basic public sector healthcare is free to citizens, under the National Health Fund (Caisse Nationale de Santé or CNS as it is sometimes called).
Though the CNS pays for some things directly, there are occasions when even local people have to pay for healthcare costs and then claim the money back from the state.
All hospitals in Luxembourg are provided by the CNS, though there are private doctors, clinics and other medical services too.
Citizens of Luxembourg benefit from the CNS thanks to the taxes that they pay as social security contributions. If you are an expat living in Luxembourg, your employer should help you to pay the relevant level of social security contributions.
Once you are registered and covered by the CNS, you have the right to select your doctor, hospital and specialist of choice in Luxembourg.
However, it is not unusual for people who live there to take out health insurance to "top up" what is provided under the CNS. This ensures that specialist health costs are covered, particularly as to meet some medical needs residents need to travel outside Luxembourg.
So, if you go to live, work or even retire to Luxembourg, it is common sense to research the best private healthcare policy to match your current and future needs.
How to get emergency help in Luxembourg
If you're in an accident while on holiday or living in Luxembourg, or you are taken seriously ill, the way to get immediate assistance is to ring 112.
Just like 999 in the UK, calls to this number are free and can be used for medical emergencies, and to request help from the police and fire brigade too.
Using this number provides access to emergency responders and ambulance services provided by Luxembourg's public sector (CNS). If necessary, you will be taken to a hospital run by the state.
This is important, as if a hotel or travel company representative makes the call for you, they may ask for medical help from a private healthcare provider in Luxembourg. You may wish to check this before they seek medical assistance on your behalf.
Also, keep in mind that not all Luxembourg hospitals have "accident and emergency" departments. It tends to be only larger facilities that do, but there is a shared duty of care in these situations, that operates on a rota basis.
If you wanted to go direct to hospital to access emergency care in Luxembourg, how will you know which hospital to use? The rota for emergency healthcare is published in newspapers and posted up in pharmacies and doctor's surgeries.
What Luxembourg emergency healthcare costs are you likely to face? This depends on what your insurance provision is like. You will always be treated in an emergency, but the bill for this could be substantial if it falls outside medical coverage in your travel or healthcare insurance.
See below for information about using an EHIC for emergency care in Luxembourg.
Healthcare in Luxembourg before Brexit
While the UK prepares to leave the EU, the system and potential costs of healthcare in Luxembourg remain relatively simple.
You need to be sure you have potential medical expenses covered in your travel insurance, irrespective of what country you are visiting in mainland Europe.
In an emergency, you will be treated in Luxembourg. Then, you could be asked to pay up front for consultations, medicines and accommodation for example, particularly if you are being treated by a private healthcare organisation.
These costs could be covered or reimbursed if you have:
- Adequate travel insurance
- An EHIC (European Health Insurance Card).
Showing your EHIC card in Luxembourg in a public sector healthcare facility could mean getting medical help free or at a reduced cost. That's why it is so important to apply for or renew your card. In some cases, you can get free medical help in Luxembourg by showing your EHIC even when you don't have travel insurance documentation.
However, even your EHIC card doesn't help you access free healthcare in private facilities. Which is why it is important to be wary if holiday reps or hotel staff make medical arrangements on your behalf.
If you do have to pay for anything medical-related in Luxembourg, keep all the paperwork generated by your visit to a Luxembourg hospital or doctor, especially receipts for any payments. You can then apply for reimbursement, as appropriate.
Post-Brexit healthcare in Luxembourg
The situation regarding accessing healthcare abroad post-Brexit is currently unclear. This includes uncertainty about specific arrangements with individual countries such as Luxembourg, and whether EHIC cards will carry the same level of entitlement.
It is important to check back on this website for information about medical matters for travellers in Luxembourg, once the EU exit date has been finalised.
So, in a nutshell, though your EHIC card currently covers state treatment for pre-existing and new medical issues in a wide range of circumstances in Luxembourg, this may not be the case after the UK leaves the EU.
Are any Luxembourg medical services not covered by EHIC?
Though your European Health Insurance Card is valuable to help in health-related matters in Luxembourg, there are a few exceptions.
For example, it does not render you immune from any costs involved if you have to return to the UK for health reasons. If you need help from mountain rescue services, or medical assistance while on a cruise, these are also beyond the remit of your EHIC cover.
If you are travelling to Luxembourg specifically for medical treatment, you must seek specialist advice and help in your rights and the costs involved if you have an unrelated medical emergency.
The other important thing to keep in mind is that if you go to live in Luxembourg – or stay for work for over 90 days – your EHIC card becomes invalid.
If you are staying in this country beyond that 90-day period, you must register for the Caisse Nationale de Santé (CNS) healthcare provision and pay your mandatory contributions the same as Luxembourg citizens. This then entitles you and your dependents to a level of free healthcare in Luxembourg, without your EHIC.
Lost (or don't have) my EHIC card in Luxembourg
If the worse happens and you need medical help while in Luxembourg but don't have access to an EHIC card, what can you do?
The first thing is, not to panic and start paying out for medical expenses in the hope of getting costs reimbursed.
Instead, you need to get something called a provisional replacement certificate (PRC). This is your proof that you an entitled to an EHIC card, even if you don't currently have one.
To get a PRC, contact an organisation called "Overseas Healthcare Services", on the numbers below, and request a certificate. This service is available Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm (UK time).
Overseas Healthcare Services: while in the UK ring 0191 218 1999; if outside the UK ring +44 191 218 1999.
Travelling to Luxembourg with prescription medications
Before your trip to Luxembourg, you need to gather any medicines you need regularly, in a way that makes everything problem-free. This means having your medications in their original pharmacy packaging. You should also take with you a copy of your prescription and relevant letter from a doctor.
This proves your need, particularly if the substances involved raises red flags with Luxembourg airport security. It also gives you clear paperwork to hand to medical staff if you have a medical emergency in Luxembourg.
If you need to take items to Luxembourg that are covered by the UK's Controlled Medicines legislation, you must have a special licence and take steps outlined on the Government's advisory page https://www.gov.uk/travelling-controlled-drugs
Pre-existing medical condition and Luxembourg healthcare
Taking steps to make sure that your travel insurance covers medical bills while abroad is particularly important if you have an existing health-related issue.
Declare your pre-existing medical conditions before your trip to Luxembourg, to make absolutely sure that your insurance is not invalidated. "Hoping" that something won't become a problem while in Luxembourg is ill-advised, as you could void your travel insurance and find yourself with a very hefty medical bill from Luxembourg's hospitals or doctors!
It is also sensible to chat to your GP or specialist before you leave the UK. Ask them for advice about how the journey and your holiday in Luxembourg may affect your medical issue, and any sensible precautions you should take. They may even provide a written statement to explain the health matter to any medical professions you need to see in Luxembourg. This letter can also help inform travel representations, airline and hotel staff in an emergency.
If you need a prescription in Luxembourg
What happens if a medical professional advises you to take medication while on holiday, or helps you to obtain replacements or additional supplies for existing medicines?
This is another occasion when having your EHIC in Luxembourg (or your PRC) could prove invaluable. If you have an EHIC, your prescription medicines could be covered completely, or heavily discounted.
The proportion of the cost you need to meet for medicines while in Luxembourg, varies according to what it was prescribed for, and the active ingredients. Clearly, you will be expected to pay a larger contribution to non-essential medications, though you could get free medicines for chronic and serious illnesses.
Luxembourg healthcare and retirees
If you can prove that you receive a state pension in the UK, Luxembourg prescription charges are even lower.
What if you are retiring and going to live in Luxembourg; how does healthcare work then?
Your EHIC card won't cover you as soon as you are resident in Luxembourg for over the 90-day limit. As you're not employed, you won't be registered and paying contributions to the CNS.
However, if you retire to live in Luxembourg and you have an exportable UK pension or benefit, you may still be able to obtain help from the UK in meeting the costs for healthcare services.
For this to happen, you would need to successfully obtain something called an S1 certificate (it used to be called an E106). This website outlines what happens when you are claiming benefits abroad, including how to apply for this S1 certificate: https://www.gov.uk/claim-benefits-abroad
The situation with regard to healthcare and retiring to Luxembourg is also complicated by Britain's exit from the UK, so keep checking back with us for updates.
Remember, whether you are retiring to Luxembourg or there on holiday, as you don't qualify for state help under Luxembourg's Caisse Nationale de Santé, having evidence of private healthcare insurance could prove vital.

We all love the idea of being wild and free, and the wild and romantic bridal inspiration we're sharing today has a sense that we're about to run away – and I can say we'd love to join in!
Our "bride", model Brie McKay, took to the gorgeous country estate of Worrowing Estate with a dream team of photographer Dan Cartwright, stylist Gypsy Carmen and makeup artist Ella&ME Beauty to create a story about a bride that was all about escaping the norm. A lace gown from Spell Designs Byron Bay accompanied a Lack of Colour hat and boots. Our bride's wild curls blowing in the golden breeze and a simple bouquet of burgundy, blush and green adding a sense of the feminine sweetness as she danced in the setting sun.
"The inspiration behind the field shots primarily stemmed from my love of the bohemian and festival style. It's relaxed yet super sexy & romantic" tells stylist Clare from Gypsy Carmen. "I think this look is unique and yet resonates with so many brides. The colour palette of pastels in these shots are gentle & feminine yet slightly moody edge with the introduction of burgundy Boronia (an Australian native)."

The thread starts as follows: I live in N Wales and the local distribution company is Man Web. I have spoken to them as my household voltage is between 245 to 252vac. they tell me they peak at 253vac. Most modern equipment I believe is rated at 230vac with a 10% tolerance(The EU runs on 230v apparently), which would indeed go up to 253vac.
I have read though that a 230v transformer will run at a higher temp when on 250v mains. I am curious as I have just had a power supply burn out (230 rated) and wondered if there was any connection. I am not an electrical engineer and wondered if anyone could enlighten me. Also I would be very interested to know what the voltage is in other parts of the UK. If you have a figure please post.

He descends from Mormon pioneers. His ancestors have prepared family names for temple work since joining the church. His parents even sought help from professional genealogists, with limited results.
It would have been easy for Miller to conclude that all his family history work was done.
But it wasn't.
And when he was contacted by unknown relatives from back East -- descendents of a brother who left Scotland to mine coal in America before the rest of Miller's family joined the church -- he was gifted a hidden branch of his family tree. Although not LDS, these relatives wanted to share family history information.
"We got together. Come to find out, we have 700 new names," said Miller, who works as director of member needs for the LDS Church's Family History Department. "If you make an effort ... the Lord will open up the doors and find the rest of your family."

× 40 40 is a project of Paolo Ulian e Moreno Ratti that part of the recovery of marble tiles remained unused in warehouses of artisan companies.
The two designers have imagined 7 objects that can be achieved by simply cutting the tiles with a water jet machine and simply assembling the pieces obtained, without any material waste.

And 'easily it retrofitted single joints. To increase or decrease the intensity of light is sufficient to move forward or backward in the part
shaped lampshade is mounted on the main light.
GERLA_vaso + fruit bowl
A marble tile 40x40x4cm inches thick is cut in order to obtain a series of concentric rings of marble oval with very thin thickness.
These are superimposed to become a tall vase 40 cm. The slight furrows caused by the water jet used for the cutting of the pieces becomes a natural decoration which characterizes the external and the internal surface of the vessel. The remaining piece is used as a fruit bowl.
Just a tile marble 40x40x1cm thickness to obtain the rings necessary to make a slight and capacious basket with handles.
bowl PIET_fruit
A small bowl of fruit is made with four plates joined together. All parts are made from a marble tile of 40x40x1cm no waste.
Clock QUADRONDO_wall
E 'consists of a tile of white marble 40x40x1cm. On the floor are made of cuts of the machine jet to allow the user the choice to turn or not the shape watch square to round breaking the pre-cut pieces.
table SFRID0_coffee
A table consists of two marble tiles 40x40x1cm no waste. A tile to obtain the four pieces that make up the base, and one for the floor. Mounts easily with few assembly operations.
The quadrangular rings that make up the seat are obtained by two marble tiles 40x40x3cm thick. The lid, which is always obtained from marble tiles can be lifted to use the stool also as a container.
