Programs \ Education \ Journeyperson Program \ MOFGA Journeyperson Profiles
2012 Journeyperson Program Participants
David Asmussen
Blue Bell Farm, Cape Elizabeth
Dave was raised in upstate New York and first put a shovel in the soil in fourth grade when he dug up the back yard to plant radishes. At Dartmouth College, he studied environmental biology and earth science and worked in the biology department greenhouse. There he met his partner Meredith who was working at the college organic farm. A few years in the Bay Area of California confirmed that 60 degrees and sunny every day was way too boring, and when he found himself digging up part of the employee parking lot median to plant green beans he realized he should pursue agriculture a little more seriously. Moving back East for graduate school at the University of Vermont, Dave studied plant and soil science. Recently Dave and Meredith moved to Maine and have been enjoying the seacoast and growing agricultural community. After meeting the fine folks at Green Spark Farm (former Journeypersons) they worked out a land share agreement at their farm in Cape Elizabeth. Dave founded Blue Bell Farm and now runs a small CSA and wholesale business.
Jonathan Ault
Long Meadow Farm, West Gardiner
Jon came to Maine in the Spring of 2011 following a few-years-long stint in what he'd call the "standard-suburban-middle-class-circuit;" that is, successive post college careers in youth work, retail, and lastly, corporate banking. Seeing the need for a radical change in his own life and wanting to pursue something that he'd always felt he wanted to do but had absolutely no experience in-- growing good food-- Jon made the decision to leave his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa and cast his lot with Long Meadow Farm in West Gardiner, first as an apprentice and then as the farm's manager in 2012. While still very much a newcomer to farming, Jon is looking forward to the development of his own agricultural skill sets in supporting Long Meadow as he hones in the preliminary make-up of his future farming endeavors, including leveraging his position as a board member for an Augusta-Gardiner area non-profit, The Kennebec Local Food Initiative.
Nathan Brimmer
Giant's Belly Farm, Greene
A native Mainer, Nathan moved to a small intentional community, the JED Collective, in Greene, ME, while attending nursing school in nearby Lewiston. After graduating in 2010, Nathan decided to try his hand at raising pigs, and hasn't looked back since. Farming is a way for Nathan to combine his love of all things pork, his commitment to discovering and promoting morally sound social and economic models, and his desire to share his passions with others. Nathan's business experience in the restaurant trade, high-end food retailing, and sales inform his marketing strategy; while his patience and unslaked thirst for learning has helped him grasp the production side of farming. Giant's Belly Farm currently sells chicken, goose, pork and eggs. In addition, it produces feed crops for the animals, and fruits, vegetables, cured meats, honey, and maple syrup for the collective. Additional income is generated through a variety of workshops hosted on and off the farm. Dreams of expansion include quail, beef, dairy, additional workshops, and value-added food products.
Tasha Brodeur
Tasha's Veggies, Parsonsfield
Tasha fell in love with farming at Greenview Farm in the state of Rhode Island, where she was born and raised. She worked here for five years, gaining all the basic skills of farming organically, while completing a bachelor's degree in Botany from the University of Rhode Island. Since, she has worked as Assistant Manager at both, the Market Garden at Shelburne Farms, in Shelburne, Vermont, and Cerridwen Farm at Green Mountain College, in Poultney, Vermont. Realizing her dream to operate her own farm, Tasha acquired a piece of land in Parsonsfield, Maine, where she hopes to run a successful CSA and market garden. She will be selling her produce at the Newfield Farmer and Artisan Market, located in the historic village of Willowbrook in Newfield, Maine, every Saturday from 9am - 1pm. Her plan is to establish a small CSA for the 2012 season. She cultivates approximately one half acre, using small-scale, intensive, hands-on farming, while practicing organic and sustainable methods. She grows a wide variety of vegetables and small fruits and will be specializing in Hierloom varieties.
Arlene Brokaw
Olde Oak Farm, Maxfield
Arlene moved to Maine in 2009 from the hills of southern Ohio. 2012 will be her third season at Olde Oak Farm where she has grown into her role of Head Cheese Maker, where she is responsible for scheduling and managing all of Olde Oak's cheese production. She also shares in co-managing new apprentices and shares in goat herd management responsibilities. Arlene is working toward owning and operating her own sustainable goat dairy and farmstead cheese-making operation. She intends to use the following two years to develop a deeper understanding of the microbiology relating to the entire cycle of herd rotation and health through milk production and cheese making.
Johanna Burdet
Moodytown Gardens, Cornville
Johanna began farming at Moodytown Gardens in 2010, located on her parents land in Cornville Maine. Moodytown Gardens' is a mixed vegetable farm, which focuses on providing good food and good company to the people of Cornville and surrounding towns. Johanna realized her true calling was farming once leaving Maine. She spent six years between working on other farms and studying agriculture in New Hampshire, Vermont, New Zealand, British Columbia, and Oregon. She returned to Maine in 2008 ready to begin the undertaking of starting her own farm.
Dylan Chapman
Brookfield Farm, Cushing
Since moving away from his family's farm in childhood, Dylan has dreamed of returning to the old farm in Cushing, Maine to begin bringing it back into production. After a few years of farming elsewhere in Washington state and in Maine, he returned to Brookfield Farm in early 2012, where he now grows and defends his veggies from deer on an intensively-cropped half acre that is dangerously close to the woods. He hopes to integrate livestock, fruit trees, and long-term rotations of vegetables, grains and beans, and pasture into the farm's ecosystem. And more farm hands! Always more farm hands!
Kate Coseo and Martin Maines
Morning's Glory Farm, Unity
Kate and Martin own and operate Morning's Glory Farm in Unity, Maine. After 10 years of exploring the wilds of British Columbia and Alaska, they decided to return to Marty's Maine roots and pursue their dream of starting a small organic farm. The arrival of their daughter Lucy in 2010 gave them the impetus to leave their teaching jobs in rural Alaska, and commit to their vision of farming as a family. Although the farm is still in it's infancy, they hope to provide the region with a variety of organic produce, chicken, and Katahdin sheep in the near future.
Johanna Davis and Adam Nordell
Songird Farm, Starks
Johanna and Adam moved back to Maine last April to start their own farming operation at The Carpenter's Boatshop in Pemaquid. Johanna grew up on the coast of Maine and worked on a few different farms in that area as well as on the coast of Washington. Adam grew up in the mountains of Montana and came to Maine for college at College of the Atlantic. He also worked on a few different farms in Maine as well as Montana. In 2011 they moved their operation to Starks where they are leasing land from Jay Robinson on the Sandy River. Songbird Farm, their own operation, consists of organic mixed vegetables as well as heirloom dry beans and dry corn.
Glenon Friedmann
Bar Harbor Community Farm, Bar Harbor
Glenon has always loved life best when she is outside getting dirty doing one thing or another. She grew up in Alaska where everybody in the neighborhood grew long carrots and big cabbages. In her twenties she took a dive into biodynamic agriculture through a training program in California. She came to the east coast to attend College of the Atlantic. While she raised her family she kept her hand in farming with various jobs, including work at Beech Hill Farm and Morning Glory Farm in Vermont. Now, with her children grown, she is ready to pursue her farming passion full-time. This is her third season farming on a leased 2-acre field in Bar Harbor. This year she is expanding her CSA to 30 members and will grow for wholesale markets on Mount Desert Island.
Bill Giordano
Valley of the Stars Farm, Brooksville
Bill lives at Valley of the Stars Farm in Brooksville where he grows tree crops and small grains. He became interested in agriculture via a background in permaculture design. His interest in grain comes from a never ending need for straw mulch, combined with his experience using Maine flours as a baker. He has been fascinated with diverse grain and tree crop systems since studying farming practices of southern Italy, where diversified systems have supported villages for many centuries. He is a graduate student in the Intermedia Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Maine where his thesis "edible landscapes as public art" involves the design and creation of high-traffic edible forest gardens for public benefit in Lewiston, Orono and Portland. He is a musician and a baker at Tinder Hearth Bakery, Valley of the Stars' sister business, and runs regional music production studio in the less busy season.
Eliza Greenman
Sandy River Apples, Mercer
Eliza, a Southerner from Poquoson Virginia, arrived in Maine in 2008 after a year working in the Black Forest of Germany as a forester. During her year abroad, she discovered that growing trees for fruits and nuts was personally more rewarding than growing them for board feet, so back to the United States she returned with a new found passion for horticulture. In Maine, she became a resident of Little Cranberry Island, where she learned to prune and take care of apple trees. After a splendid two years with Little Cranberry, she left Maine for New Zealand to manage a small permaculture farm on Waiheke Island and then returned to Maine to be a MOFGA apprentice at Super Chilly Farm. Eliza is currently the co-manager of Sandy River Apples with Francis Fenton, otherwise known as "The Apple Man." With more than 140 varieties, Sandy River specializes in heirloom apples.
Jessica Holloway
Moot Farm, Brooksville
Jessica is taking time off from her first passion to pursue a lifelong interest in lost agricultural skills. She loves the myriad ways animals integrate on the farm to bring vibrancy and create sustaining circuits. Currently her focus is on permaculture and working with rabbits trying out crazy ideas that often lead to very happy 'lapins libres' if only for short times. She has raised pigs, sheep and chickens, and currently looks after a Dexter/Jersey cow. Her previous life revolved around teaching holistic ballet methods as a trainer, choreographer, and dancer, near the farming town of Bowdoinham. She knew farming would be her next job, and after a car accident put ballet teaching on hold she jumped in with both feet. Once she can build a 'biomass cathedral', run a micro-dairy, and establish a food forest to feed a community of hungry artists, she'll be back in business. She holds a bachelors degree in International Comparative Studies from Duke, and finally, has found a logical follow up in Permaculture Design. As Marketing Coordinator of the Blue Hill Co-op, Jesse has initiated a co-branding Local Lard project to help small farms make use of their valuable fatback, and make healthy local lard available to consumers. She has a 6 year old daughter, Bernadette and lives on an Organic hay farm in Brooksville.
Brittany Hopkins
Wise Acres Farm, Kenduskeag
Before setting her sights on a career in organic farming, Brittany Hopkins had a long flirtation with plants, farming and food, including many years of hanging out at Maine agricultural fairs as a kid, showing dairy goats through 4-H, and a stint volunteering in an urban garden while living in New Jersey after college. Starting in 2009, she spent three wonderful seasons learning how to grow and market vegetables as an apprentice, farm worker and/or resident gardener at Peacemeal Farm, Parker Family Farm, and Fisher Farm in central Maine. In the fall of 2011, Brittany and her partner, Joy Trueworthy, purchased a home on 41.5 acres of fields and forest in Kenduskeag, where they are launching the second incarnation of Wise Acres Farm (previously the name of Brittany's parents' dairy goat herd and homestead). In 2012, Brittany will be growing an acre of mixed vegetables and herbs, which she will be bringing to the Bangor and Ellsworth Farmers' Markets. She hopes to expand production in future years to serve local wholesale customers, incorporating perennial food crops and season extension practices.
Ryan Keinath and Katya Gorbunova
Three Guilds Farm, Georgetown
Ryan and Katya moved to Maine last December to start a small diversified farm with a focus on sustainable agriculture and permaculture practices. Ryan has been around small and large scale dairy operations for most of his life. Katya developed an interest in farming while staying on a small farm when she attended Colby College. They met in Kentucky while working at a restaurant with a focus on local food where they started planning the beginnings of Three Guilds Farm. They were fortunate enough to find like-minded landowners who have given them the opportunity to bring a beautiful piece of Georgetown property back into agricutural use. They are striving to provide nearby counties with mushrooms, herbal teas, organic vegetables and other products. They are inspired by permaculture techniques including sheet mulching, companion planting and plant guilds as well as Eliot Coleman's writings on season extension in Maine.
Katheryn Langelier
Herbal Revolution, Lincolnville
Kathi fell in love with farming as a young girl while growing up around the beautiful farms in Turner Maine. As a young adult her passion for food and farming education grew as she pursued work on farms in Maine, Vermont and California. She had the opportunity to run the farm to forest program at Tanglewood 4-H Camp for a summer in Lincolnville Maine and farm camp at Merck Forest and Farm Land Center in Vermont. In her late teens, Kathi picked up a couple of books written by Maine herbalists, Gail Faith Edwards and Deb Soule and from there her passion to pursue herbal medicine began. Since then she has spent much of her time studying, growing and ethically wild gathering herbs. Herbal Revolution was created in 2009 so that she could spend more time working with plants and serving her area as a community herbalist providing high quality, hand crafted herbal preparations. Kathi is also a gardener/ landscaper, stone/ brick mason and a licensed massage therapist.
Emily Lowe
Birdsong Farm, Owls Head
Emily grew up on the coast of Maine in Owls Head. Her first experience in the garden was with her grandmother at an early age, but it wasn't until later in life that she remembered how much she enjoyed being in the garden and working with plants. Emily's gardening and farming experience includes working for landscaping businesses in the midcoast; WWOOFing in Arizona, California and Oregon and most recently managing the farm at Primo Restaurant in Rockland for the past 5 years. During the course of these experiences she learned about vegetable production for CSAs, farmer's markets and restaurants, raising livestock on pasture, growing in the off-season using greenhouses and hoophouses, and the importance of soil quality and vitality for healthy crops, animals and people. Emily and her partner Zac (a former MOFGA apprentice at Teltane Farm) are starting a farm on her family's property in Owls Head. They are inspired by Eliot Coleman's model of farming during the winter months utilizing season extension; and are excited about integrating the spirit of Biodynamics with the science of biological and organic farming methods to offer their community nourishing food, especially in the winter.
Angela & Ben Mackie
Mackie Family Farm, Unity
Angela and Ben are the new farmers-in-residence at MOFGA's Common Ground Education Center in Unity. Angela grew up near the tip of the lower peninsula of Michigan. She began working at a local farm, Blackbird Gardens, in high school and spent a year in Brazil, including several months at Iracambi, a farm and reforestation center in the Atlantic Rainforest. After a couple years at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, Angela transfered to Sterling College in Vermont where she met Ben. Ben grew up in the only state with which Maine shares a border and has always enjoyed his time in Vacationland. He became romanticized with agriculture in northern California and learned the realities and pleasures of farming through jobs, internships, and his studies in the Sustainable Agriculture program at Sterling College. Since graduating, Angela and Ben have worked on and managed farms in Vermont, New Jersey, and most recently Napa, California where Ben was working on a farm & vineyard, and Angela was pursuing an interest in butchery & charcuterie at The Fatted Calf Charcuterie. They are thrilled to be back in New England and putting down roots in Maine. Mackie Family Farm will be producing pasture-raised meats, medicinal and culinary herbs, and vegetables in its first year at MOFGA.
Daniel McPhee & Corinne Wesh
Super Chilly Farm, Palermo
Daniel and Corinne homestead and work on Super Chilly Farm in Palermo. With the help of their two kids, Bennett and Annah, and neighbor-mentors, John Bunker and Cammy Watts, they will be running a heritage apple CSA, producing nursery stock, and growing storage crops, grains, herbs, and dabbling in untold other experiments. Adding to the tangle of projects, Corinne is also starting a handwoven textile business. En route to Maine, they farmed urban and suburban sites in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Graham Mallory
Pastures of Plenty, Frankfort
Graham was born in Eliot, ME. He did not grow up around farms but in 2008 he apprenticed at a diversified farm and found his calling. Since then he has devoted himself to studying the art and science of agriculture. Graham is particularly fascinated by how farmers create and manage ecosystems that are self-enhancing and benefit the larger biotic and social communities in myriad ways. Now based in Waldo County, 2012 is his first year developing such an ecosystem, along with a business called Pastures of Plenty. Pastures of Plenty leases idle land from local landowners and converts it into productive grassland that produces grassfed beef for local customers.
Ben Marcus & Taryn Hammer
Sheepscot General at Uncas Farms, Whitefield
Ben grew up in Whitefield and Taryn is from Michigan. They met at the Evergreen State College, where they studied ecological agriculture. They are in the process of revitalizing and reinventing the old Uncas Farms store on the Townhouse Rd in Whitefield. They are also organizing and growing crops for a multi-farm CSA that involves local products from several other area farms.
Daniel Mays
Frith Farm, Scarborough
Daniel has always loved good food and hard work, so is happy to be farming after dabbling in the world of deskbound occupations. He spent his childhood attending Waldorf School across from Seven Stars Biodynamic farm in Pennsylvania, and has traveled and worked on a number of farms in Latin America. He worked on the Wesleyan and Stanford student farms while attending college and grad school, and helped run a small CSA in eastern Massachusetts in 2010. Daniel is excited to put down roots in Scarborough, where Frith Farm wil be in its second year of operation.
Michael McCoy & Kiley Randall
Black Fox Farm, Montville
Kiley and Michael met while working on a large CSA in western Massachusetts. In 2010 they decided to move to Maine and pursue starting a farm of their own. This year they will be growing mixed vegetables and herbs on a new farm in Montville. They will focus on heirloom and open pollinated varieties. When they aren't farming you can find them swimming in the ocean or hanging out with their awesome cat Morgan.
Kimberlee Michel
Blue Cloud Farm, Walpole
After working on farms in Maryland and New York state, Kim moved to Maine in March 2006 to apprentice on King Hill Farm in Penobscot. Since 2007, she's been working, living, and gardening in Lincoln County. In 2010 she had the opportunity to manage an established local business growing and selling cut flowers, from starting flower seedlings to arranging and marketing bouquets. Last year, she grew a subsistence vegetable garden on rented land in South Bristol. In 2012, Kim is excited to grow flowers on that same land to start her own cut flowers business, Blue Cloud Farm. She will sell fresh cut flowers in the Damariscotta area. This year Kim also looks forward to eating vegetables grown in a corner of her garden, starting a flock of laying hens, creating garden space at her home in Walpole, and spending time on the Damariscotta River. She has been a member of the MOFGA-El Salvador Sistering Committee since 2006, and on the MOFGA Board since 2008.
Kate Mrozicki
Morgan Bay Farm, Surry
Kate's farming addiction began while seeking refuge from the college classroom at a nearby CSA and has led to many years proselytizing vegetables and meaningful work in the crazy, rewarding world of farming with non-profit organizations. After ten years away Kate finally moved home last fall hoping to find a nice simple farm job while reacclimating to life in Maine. Instead she found an opportunity to grow food for and with her neighbors on some borrowed land and is jumping in this season. She'll be running a small CSA and farm stand and swimming in the ocean at high tide.
Sarah Oliver
Even Keel Farm, Pemaquid
After a childhood of frequent moves around the country, Sarah is ready to put down roots. She quit her desk job in DC in 2008 to work on a vegetable farm in Maryland, and has since discovered that she much prefers jobs that change with the seasons. She moved up to Maine in 2009 to apprentice at the Carpenter's Boat Shop in Pemaquid. She then went on to work and learn at Appleton Creamery and Peacemeal Farm. The supportive community at the boat shop drew her back to Pemaquid in 2012. The vegetable garden is currently about a third of an acre, and Sarah plans to feed the boat shop apprentices and staff as well as sell at the Bristol area farmers market and make contacts with local businesses. Some days, she misses having a smart and experienced boss to tell her what to do, but usually she welcomes the challenge of working for herself.
Everett Ottinger
Del Rio Farm, Penobscot
Everett was born and bred in the high deserts of New Mexico and educated in the lush forests of Oregon. In 2009 he made a blind leap to Maine and the agrarian lifestyle. He WWOOFED at King Hill Farm in Penobscot and Treble Ridge Farm in Whitefield. He spent a winter apprenticing at Horsepower Farm in Penobscot, and a year apprenticing back at King Hill, then worked a season at Beech Hill Farm in Mound Desert. Currently he grows vegetables on an acre of Maine Farmland Trust land leased by Old Ackley Farm, under the ongoing tutelage of Happytown Farm, King Hill Farm, Old Ackley Farm, and Quill's End Farm.
Dominic Pascarelli & Kelsey Herrington
Two Farmers Farm, Durham
Two Farmers Farm cultivates organic produce in Durham, Maine. They specialize in winter-harvested leafy greens and other fresh winter produce, and offer flavorful, healthy, beautifully fresh food year round. Kelsey and Dominic both grew up in rural communities – Kelsey on Vashon Island, Washington, and Dominic in Durham, Maine. They met at Clark University and decided to farm full-time after graduate school - completing apprenticeships in animal husbandry and vegetable production in Vermont and New York. Wanting to remain close to family, they returned to Maine and established Two Farmers Farm in Fall 2011.
Andy Smith
Elderflower Farm, Linconville
Andy escaped the chocolate bubble of Hershey, Pennsylvania in 2007 to attend Colby College in Waterville, Maine. There he studied biology and became interested in ecological agriculture. After working to start the school's organic garden program in his freshman year, Andy apprenticed on the Village Farm in Freedom during the next two summers. While milking the farm's grumpy cow, Lucy, this self described "plant guy" fell in love with cows. During the fall of 2010, Andy finished his degree at Colby and and began managing Elderflower Farm in Lincolnville, Maine.
Stowell Watters & Marina Steller
Rippling Waters Farm, Standish
Stowe and Marina are young farmers born and raised in York County, currently working at Rippling Waters Organic Farm in Standish, ME. Together since 2001, both - through years of wearing shoes that didn't seem to fit quite right- have found an explosive and deeply shared love of farming, community building and permaculture design systems. Marina graduated High School in Maine and took off to the sandy coasts of Hawaii to study the environment at Hawaii Pacific. Stowe also flew from Maine, to the freezing city of Burlington, VT to study journalism at UVM (although summary reports strongly suggest that he spent much more time skiing than studying). Reunited after college, Stowe took a job as a reporter and Marina worked with intellectually handicapped clients, but still something was missing. All around them, their world seemed to be falling apart; there was great ferment from the revolutionary tone of the Obama campaign and its opponents to the debates surrounding food labeling, security, access and sustainability to social upheaval worldwide. They felt they were to awakening to a fractured country. So, with very little warning and perhaps less funding, they took off across the country as WWOOFers in 2009, not so much to explore farming but just to get out and to meet people, to find something they were missing. What they found at an herb farm in Pennsylvania and a large organic farm in Colorado and a ranch growing fresh food in the middle of the Mojave Desert was members of their own generation, befuddled by their stifling and unhealthy social, political, and economic state, going back to the land. They were hooked; and have since returned to pursue this opportunity to start a small organic farm in Limington on Stowe's family property. They want to provide greater food security to the town we live in and add our voice to this extremely important movement while sustaining themselves and the soil. This will be their second year with Rippling Waters.
Ben Whatley
Whatley Farm, Topsham
Ben grew up in Topsham on the farm he and his parents are reviving. Although they always had an organic garden growing up and a chicken tractor (until they all got eaten by a weasel), at one time Ben wanted the family to move a subdivision or at least pave the driveway so he and his friends could skateboard. While at Oberlin College, he did come to embrace the Maine man, and figured he would eventually end up in a Thoreauvian cabin in the woods, but he at least thought about having a "career" first. It wasn't until he got out of college that he really thought about farming sooner rather than later, which seemed as good an idea as any for a person entering the recession job market in late 2008. He apprenticed at Broadturn Farm in Scarborough for the 2009 season, and got his head straightened out about farming not being a real career; it is of course a serious business with real exposure to risk. That year practically the entire tomato crop was lossed to late blight, but the farm continues to thrive because of their highly diversified operation--a valuable lesson. Despite the hard season, he wasn't deterred, and moved to North Carolina to do a farm incubator program in the Chapel Hill area. Driftwood Garden was his business there in 2010, growing vegetables for a small CSA, restaurants, and a farmers market. At the end of 2010, he became obsessed with two ideas: starting a farm enterprise with his family in Maine, and draft animal power. Actually working with draft horses at Buckwheat Blossom Farm in Wiscasset and at various field days was enough to convince him that there was a lot more to that than he thought, too, and maybe a Kubota tractor wasn't such a bad idea after all...It turned out to be a very good idea, by the way...Anyhow, horses went to the back burner, but the family farm idea took off. 2011 was spent in food service, stonework, and LL Bean's, but most importantly: tillage, cover cropping, and wood cutting in preparation for launching the new farm business. Whatley Farm will be producing certified-organic vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and some flowers for direct and wholesale markets. The farm is also very excited to be growing a chile pepper seed crop for Fedco, since they have a great devotion to Capsicum in his many forms. Ben will also be grafting apple trees for Fedco, and helping his neighbor John Cullen on his choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm. Eventually, the Whatleys want to be producing organic apples, other tree and small fruits, as well as some more nursery stock, seed crops and livestock (they have 20 Rhode Island Red hens and a rooster currently; egg-laying ducks and some more chickens would be nice). Ben wants to see a revival of home gardening and orcharding in Topsham, and thinks the farm could produce a surplus of seedlings and nursery stock to help facilitate that. Ben always welcomes a visit, on the Cathance Road just a little ways toward Bowdoinham after you cross the river.
Ryan Wilson and Gina Simmons
Common Wealth Farm, Unity
Ryan and Gina are determined to find a balance between the ecological and economical aspects of agriculture. After both working on vegetable farms for a number of years, they decided that there was more to agriculture than small-scale vegetable farming. Being business minded, they decided to fulfill niches they found empty in agriculture in Maine. This summer, they will raise a few thousand ducks for meat, as well as a variety of other animals for meat and eggs. Their farm operation is purely pasture-based, and they slaughter on farm. In conjunction with their duck business, they sell eggs, bagels, and breads at places such as the Portland Farmer's Market and the Belfast Co-op. They are committed to the idea that a healthy economy begins with successful small-scale businesses. They believe that food is our common wealth - assuming that no matter your political affiliation - you eat!

A Day of Deep-Sea Cameras and Creatures in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life main content.
by AMNH on
From fireflies to jellyfishes, an astonishing range of animals create their own light. On Sunday, April 22, kids can explore activity carts about glowing organisms while scientists David Gruber, Marc Branham, and Edith Widder share their research about these creatures and the deep-sea vehicles and cameras required to study them. David Gruber, an assistant professor at The City University of New York (CUNY) and a Museum research associate who consulted on the exhibition Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, recently answered a few questions about his deep-sea photography and the Museum.
What was it like consulting on Creatures of Light?
David Gruber: One of the best parts was meeting with the designers who made the models of organisms. We would make tiny tweaks until they got more and more realistic, and we created some of the most detailed models of several organisms. As the models were being designed, many anatomy questions came up that weren't anywhere in the scientific literature, so we often went back to the animals themselves to answer questions the designers brought up.
Part of your work for the exhibition involved photographing a coral wall. Were some of these animals harder to photograph than others?
Gruber: Unlike corals that sit in place, the fish are harder because they move around. One of the animals people will see is a glowing eel that jumped into one of our photographs. We didn't even know it was there until we got back to lab and reviewed the film.
Can you tell us about the deep-sea camera you're building?
Gruber: When you're photographing bioluminescence, you can't shine strobes or lights as you would on a movie set. You must rely on the light coming off of the animals. When you've been in the dark a long time, your eyes adjust pretty well, and you forget just how sensitive they are, to the point where you take a photo with a camera and nothing shows up. So you have to move to more and more sensitive cameras, which are really meant for scientists rather than filmmakers and so many are in black and white, mainly set on top of microscopes. We are taking this new technology off the microscope and into the water.
You've also written a book called Aglow in the Dark: The Revolutionary Science of Biofluorescence. What inspired you to write it?
Gruber: What we know about these creatures comes back to what science has discovered. There are still so many bioluminescent and biofluorescent organisms waiting to be found and filmed. The people who get really obsessed with bioluminescence interest me because there aren't that many of them; it involves a certain breed of scientist that likes traveling, going into water at night, or diving down deep in submersibles and designing equipment. I got interested in the history of all the people that had studied these things before me.

From collecting donations for the Rocky Hill Veterans Home and troops overseas to donating used books to the American Legion Auxiliary to funding two annual $500 scholarships for local graduating seniors, the Apple Valley Southington Chapter of AARP Connecticut has served all members of the community, young and old.
The chapter's involvement in a variety of community service projects served as a key factor for the AARP to choose Apple Valley as the winner of the 2013 Chapter of the Year Award, according to Nora Duncan, the state director of AARP Connecticut.
"Their ability to keep 235 members actively engaged is really impressive," Duncan said. "It is about taking care of people right here at home."
Last week AARP Connecticut awarded the chapter with a plaque during a ceremony, where State Senator Joseph Markley, State Representative David Zoni and State Representative Al Adinolfi also recognized the chapter's contributions to the entire community.
Josephine Theriault, the new volunteer president of the chapter, said she feels proud that the AARP chose her chapter out of all 34 chapters that applied for the award.
"It is really exciting to be singled out as doing a good job," Theriault said. "Our motto is to serve and not to be served, and the group lives up to that every day."
Every year an AARP Connecticut Chapter receives an award in recognition of its community service and advocacy and its participation in activities that fulfill the lives of older individuals. Other service projects of Apple Valley include saving box tops and labels for the town's schools, supporting Bread for Life through a $400 donation for food and providing Christmas gifts for 40 senior citizens. Volunteers have also provided a free will donation to victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy through United Way and donating $200 toward the high school's all-night graduation party.
Rachel Wache, the former volunteer president of the chapter, applied for the annual award this year. Calling the award an "honor," Wache said the chapter won this yearly award for the first time, and she feels proud of the impact that her chapter has made on all members of the community.
"Whatever we do here affects everyone," Wache said. "We touch all of those lives."
Wache also said she hopes that all volunteers of the chapter will continue serving the needs of people throughout the town and the state.
"I hope that for the future, they continue to grow, to continue to be active in the community," Wache said.
Besides participating in community service projects, Chapter volunteers also meet with local legislators to support issues that matter to Connecticut's elderly population in Hartford. Anyone over age 50 interested in becoming a member of AARP can call toll free at (866) 295-7279.

I am looking forward to sharing lots of bloggers with you through the Foodie Block Party, but I have really been looking forward to introducing you to Joelen from What's Cookin, Chicago! Joelen has been blogging since 2007 and was one of the first food blogs I ever read. She is such a fun person and she often blogs about things like Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes…so you know I love her! But if I haven't sold you yet, the only other thing you must know…is that Joelen threw a Grilled Cheese Party! How amazingly awesome is that?! Sign me up for a brie and green apple grilled cheese please!
So scroll on down to check out this delicious Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream and then make sure and go stop by her blog!

Summer is one of my favorite food seasons because of the amazing fresh produce that's readily available. Strawberry season just ended, but now blueberries are taking over with raspberries soon to follow. Stone fruits are also in season and my favorite of the group are peaches!
Georgia is known for their super sweet peaches and now's the time to seek them out in your local grocery store for a taste. No need to rush since they'll be around until early August. So what do you do with fresh peaches in the summer? One tasty answer – ice cream!
I recently made some Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream and it was the perfect treat to cool down with on a summer day. A creamy ice cream base sweetened by natural peach juices is studded with fresh chopped peaches and froze to perfection…
This is a super easy recipe for ice cream that comes from one of my favorite ice cream books, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream & Dessert Book. I've found their ice cream recipes often don't require making a custard or heating, which means you save a bit of time.
As for the texture, it's creamy and indulgent just as it should be. To make, fresh chopped peaches are macerated with a little sugar to draw out the natural juices. These juices are then added to a standard ice cream base made with eggs, lemon juice, heavy cream and whole milk.
The mixture is churned in an ice cream maker and just before it's done, the chopped peaches are swirled in. You can certainly enjoy it once it comes out of the ice cream maker, however I've found the flavor really shines through after freezing it overnight and eating the next day – that is if you can last that long. It's definitely worth the wait and you won't be disappointed!
Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream
- 2 cups of finely chopped peaches, peeled
- 1 1/4 cups sugar – divided
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- Combine the peaches, ½ cup of sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes.
- Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the juice into another bowl. Cover and return the peaches to the refrigerator to chill.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute. Add in the cream and milk, and whisk to combine. Add the peach juice and stir to blend in.
- Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
- About 2 minutes before the mixture is done in the ice cream maker, add the chilled peaches and continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container and freeze at least 6-8 hours for flavors to ripen before enjoying.

Part I and Part II are also posted on this blog.
P.R. Claim: Religion fosters family closeness and family values.
Last night I watched "Polygamy USA." I am aware that polygamous LDS is not standard LDS. And, further, LDS isn't standard "Christian." But what I saw that disturbed me, had nothing to do with the differences in these religious cultures, and represented, rather, obvious similarities. It had nothing at all to do with the polygamous aspect of the environment, and everything to do with how religion can strain ties between parents and children—putting distance between them by fostering irrational intolerance.
What I see over and over again, is that religion damages some aspect-X of society, but then successfully spins itself as beneficial to aspect-X. A commonly observed example would be religious groups that promote restricting access to both contraception and comprehensive sex education, as a means to reduce unwanted pregnancy. But sometimes the instances are not so obvious, even if they are just as common. Repeatedly, I see the P.R. claims slide through society unquestioned and unexamined. It appears that all religion has to do is continue claiming it's good for aspect-X, and after a time, the claim, "it's good for aspect-X," takes hold, even among nonadherents.
What I'm about to discuss is not a problem restricted to religion, but rather a problem that religion compounds. In other words, without religion, there would be one less cause for this harm. Additionally, being a massive and well regarded institution, it has the potential to continue causing extensive damage, more than other ideologies that are not so socially far reaching, nor as lauded.

During her Benghazi testimony to the U.S. Congress, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in her infinite wisdom, said who cares - at this point - when asked about the motives behind those responsible for killing our ambassador and three other American heroes.
The president is now giving 20 F-16 fighter jets and 200 tanks to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. These jets can travel at twice the speed of sound and at an altitude of 50,000 feet. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has said Egypt has only two enemies - Israel and the United States.
Now the president has appointed John Kerry to replace Hillary Clinton. Kerry was an American soldier who returned from the Vietnam War and testified against our soldiers, telling the world how we mistreated the North Vietnamese.
Keep in mind, we lost over 50,000 American heroes during this war.
The president wishes to arm our enemies and revoke our constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Do you care that the media has spent more time reporting Beyonce lip-syncing the national anthem? I care.

SHALLOTTE POINT—Lillian Gray's face lights up when she talks about all her "angels" have done for her.
Since having back surgery, the once avid gardener hasn't been able to keep up her outdoor showplace as much as she used to. Gray says she was feeling bad about the vines growing up and choking her azalea bushes around her historic two-story house in Shallotte Point, so she asked for a little help.

UK domain name dispute rules could change
Rulebook 'out of date' - Nominet
The rulebook used in most disputes over .uk domain names is out of date, according to Nominet, the .uk domain name registry. Its suggestions for revision include the introduction of a financial deterrent against cybersquatting.
A person wishing to complain about another party's ownership of a domain name has a choice between suing in court and following Nominet's Dispute Resolution Service (DRS).
Court actions can be slow and expensive, though successful litigants can win damages and sometimes their legal costs from the losing party. Lawsuits are generally based on the laws of "passing off" and trade marks.
In contrast, Nominet's Dispute Resolution Service is a more popular forum that follows its own rulebook, the DRS Policy & Procedure. (It is similar but not identical to ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, or UDRP, the rulebook followed in disputes over .com, .net, .org and many other domains. UDRP disputes are handled by any of four approved providers, the best known of which is the World Intellectual Property Organisation.)
In a .uk domain name dispute, a form can be completed at Nominet's site to make a complaint. Nominet says it receives about 90 such complaints a month. Nominet sends the form to the registrant of the name in dispute. If a response is made, a mediation process begins. Parties agree to settle their disputes at this stage in 60 per cent of cases, according to Nominet, which does not charge for the process.
If the case fails to settle at mitigation or if no response is made to the complaint, the complainant can pay £750 to bring the case before an appointed expert who will consider the arguments and issue a binding decision. The losing party has a right to appeal and nothing stops either party taking the matter before a court. An expert cannot award damages or demand that a cybersquatter pays the cost of a successful complaint.
In a consultation that opened on 17th November and ends on 16th February 2007, Nominet suggests changing its current Policy. Under the Policy, a name will be transferred if a Complainant shows rights in a name or mark that is identical or similar to the domain name and shows that the domain name, in the hands of the Respondent, is an "abusive registration". There is no suggestion to change that test, but the Policy's guidance that follows is up for review.
The consultation suggests changing the Policy to make clear that evidence of reselling a domain name or pay-per-click revenue on the website of a disputed domain is not necessarily evidence of abusive registration. Nor is ownership of a large portfolio of domain names; and nor is evidence of reselling domain names.
It also includes options for changing the fee structure and introducing a system where the losing party pays for the decision. That could deter cybersquatting – where a domain name is registered for profit, in many cases through the display of ads. At present there is little deterrent for would-be cybersquatters because a trade mark owner is more likely to approach Nominet than a court. There are no suggestions for how such a change would be enforced against a losing party.
Nominet says it will analyse the results of the consultation – which are being made available on its site as they come in – and it will then propose a revised policy and procedure.

Theseus and the Minotaur
M.K. McElderry Books, 1989 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages
Every nine years, the people of ancient Athens were forced to send seven young men and seven maidens as tribute to Minos, king of Crete, or he would destroy their city. The young people were given to the Minotaur, Minos's monstrous son, who was half man, half bull. How Theseus, the king of Athens' son, risked his life to save the young tributes and to slay the Minotaur is one of the great classic Greek myths.

Next Episode of Bob's Full House is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Bob's Full House was a popular and influential quiz programme hosted by Bob Monkhouse which was based on the popular game Bingo and aired on BBC1 from 1 September 1984 until 27 January 1990. On Bob's Full House, four contestants competed to fill in their Bingo-style card. Correct answers to questions covered up a number but incorrect answers cause the players to sit out the next question (this was classified as getting 'wallied'). Unlike a normal bingo card, which has numbers running from 1 to 90, the numbers on a contestant's bingo card run from 1 to 60 only.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – This Saturday, Apr. 27, the No. 2 Yale lightweight crew team will race against No. 1 Harvard and No. 6 Princeton in the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton regatta. The races, to be held in Princeton, N.J., on Lake Carnegie have been contested almost every year since 1922. The three crews will be racing for the Goldthwait Cup, which is awarded to the winner of the varsity race, as well as the Vogel Cup, which is awarded to the team with the most overall points.
Last week, the Bulldogs hosted Dartmouth in Derby, Conn., for the Durand Cup races. The Bulldogs swept their foe, winning all four races and reclaiming the Durand Cup. The varsity, second varsity, third varsity and first freshmen all won their races by 3.0, 13.6, 42.5 and 6.2 seconds respectively.
Last year at the HYP regatta, Yale won two of four races it entered. The Yale second varsity led the entire race, winning by a definitive 8.9 seconds. The Yale first freshmen also used a thrilling come-from-behind push to take a late lead, winning by just 1.4 seconds. However, Yale fell in both the varsity and third varsity events, allowing Harvard to capture both the Goldthwait and Vogel Cups.
This year, the regatta looks to be as competitive as ever. Yale and Harvard varsity boats are both undefeated and ranked as the top two boats in the nation. Princeton is not far behind at number six. In the second varsity event, Harvard, Princeton and Yale are ranked first, third and fourth, respectively, which should lead to a close race. In the first freshmen event, the second-ranked Yale boat takes on the fourth-ranked Harvard and fifth-ranked Princeton boats. Finally, the Yale third varsity takes on the third-ranked Harvard and fourth-ranked Princeton third varsities.
The schedule of events is as follows:
9:20 a.m.: First Freshmen Eight
9:40 a.m.: Second Varsity Eight
10:00 a.m.: First Varsity Eight
10:20 a.m.: Third Varsity Eight
All races will be broadcast live here.

Hyland Software Inc. is the new owner of the Five Seasons Family Sports Club property at 28105 Clemens Road in Westlake. Hyland spokesman P.J. Carter confirmed the purchase this afternoon, March 26. However, he declined to provide details about the software maker's plans until a news release is prepared. Cuyahoga County land records show that Hyland paid $11.14 million today for the luxury sports club building and acreage. An email received by Hyland employees earlier today stated that the company plans to expand the existing club building on the 21-acre property for a new technology center for its research and technology team. The project will replace a previously announced plan to add a 100,000-square-foot building next to onetime former Nordson Corp. headquarters, which Hyland refers to as its building two. A call to Ron Wolfe, the general manager at Five Seasons, was not returned by 3:50 p.m. today. Rumors of Hyland interest in the Five Seasons property circulated widely in Westlake earlier this year after Corporex Cos. of Covington, Ky., the corporate parent of Five Seasons Westlake, asked — and subsequently received — approval from Westlake City Council to add office use to its existing recreation zoning. The club is across the street from Hyland's main office and next to the former Nordson headquarters it has owned since 2009.

2. This cover
represented everything I thought being a teenager was about. Going rollerskating with your friends, one of whom would be wearing a fedora. Actually, I wanted to be the one with the fedora. It's true. Plus, Mary Anne's totally wearing mom jeans.
Okay, the plot: Dude, isn't it obvious? Mary Anne fucking misses Logan. And there's some super lame author project that every 8th grader has to do, and she winds up in a group with Pete Black, Logan, and Cokie Mason (who is, incidentally, totally schemin' on Logan). La la la la. Pete and M.A. do all the work, but Logan finally pitches in at the end, just in time for them to present in front of the whole school and the author they've been studying. (Megan Rinehart, whom the all-knowing internet tells me doesn't actually exist.) And Cokie totally eats it.
Subplot: Toilet Monster. Fucking retarded. Seriously. Um, Korman kids think there's a monster in their toilet. And I got stupider just reading about it.
So, we list:
- Okay, MA's all, "oh, I'm missing a part of me, we knew each other so well, blah, blah, blah, whiny girlie bullshit" but they started dating in 8th grade, and they're still in 8th grade, so how long were they together anyway? And I know, they're thirteen (and fictional), and it's all love and overwrought, but give me a break…
- "I'm not allowed to wear really cool things, such as cowboy boots, the way most of my friends are." Hee!
- Heh. "Everyone is an individual, but Dawn is a true individual." Also, "Dawn could probably get away with wearing a burlap bag, because she's gorgeous."
- Having younger siblings does not necessarily make you patient. Just sayin'
- "Hi, by dabe is Hudter Brudo." I hate you, ANM. That's just dumb. And it's always been dumb.
- Oooh! Stacey fashion! "…like paisley-print leggings; a huge, long shirt; short, black, lace-up boots; and a ton of silver jewelry. She might top off the look with a black fedora." Yup.
- Claudia likes accessories (Really? I had no clue!): "T-shirt clips, slap-wrist bracelets, and for her hair, ties, beads, ribbons, combs, you name it." Scorpions? Would she wear live scorpions in her hair? Please?
- Heh, Claud thinks that they might get assigned Danielle Steele [shouldn't that just be Steel?] or Stephen King, and everyone makes fun of her…
- Dude, MA starts crying when she finds out Logan's in her group.
- Cokie flirts with Logan. A lot. And it makes MA jealous. Whoop-di-shit. [I've never had to spell that before.]
- Shut up, Kristy, you do not know everything about child-rearing at 13. 'Kay?
- Mary Anne's big reconciliation date outfit? An "oversized blue top and a pair of red tights." Isn't she supposed to be shy? As in, too shy to leave the house barely dressed?
And, happy ending, they're back together. Lucky, lucky us.

The time has come to help U.S. workers
After reading the New York Time article, "$10 Minimum Wage Proposal Has Growing Support From White House," it got me thinking about how long public policy has been tilted in favor or employers and corporate America.
If The Harkin-Miller Act was to become law it would raise the minimum wage over two years, in three 95-cent increments, to $10.10, and could give those working in lower cost-of-living states something close to a living wage.
While workers in states like Connecticut, where the minimum wage is presently at $8.25 - with increases effective Jan. 14, 2014 to $8.70 and Jan. 5, 2015 to $9 - wouldn't pass up ten bucks an hour; 40 hours at $10.10, equaling a $404 per week, wouldn't earn them anything close to a living wage.
Still, I'm all for it, any income increase is in the correct direction, but for most American workers the dream of earning a living wage would remain well out of reach.
The problem of providing jobs that fail to pay enough for a family to live on has been growing for decades, since the business bottom line became paramount and shareholders more important than employees.
It arguably began on a cold January day in 1981 when Ronald Reagan waltzed into the White House and proceeded to cut the top income tax rates by almost a third and surgically removed an important piece of Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, guarantying fair interest on our savings accounts. In one stroke of his pen he made a stock market gamble much more lucrative than a savings account.
Today there is a total disconnect between employer and employee. Paying employees less has generated huge profits, produced multi-million dollar CEO bonuses and provided big bucks for stock market gamblers.
Some can recall when savings account interest was substantial, but we've watched as savings account interest fell and bank profits soared.
American employees built companies, only to watch employers move the work to places where laborers are treated like dirt, the environment like a toilet, all so they could increase profit.
Now some businessmen, with the help of the Republicans, want to shutter the Environmental Protection Agency, kill American labor unions and move jobs to low-wage "right to work" states.
Our elected leaders must step between employee and employer, between the consumer and Wall Street - and regulate. At least enforce laws we have and put the time-tested Glass-Steagall regulations back on the books.
Reagan only took a chunk out of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act. In 1999 Clinton signed the Republican's Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that finally eviscerated the entire law; ultimately setting the nation up for the Great Recession.
Dodd-Frank tries to put some regulation back, but Republicans have been blocking it at every turn. More is needed.
Passage of the minimum/living wage proposal would at least show some concern for the people who provide services and produce the products.
Those who vilify the Occupy Wall Street movement are the same folks who want to widen the enormous divide between American capitalism and American labor.
Hmm, who could they be?

Giants' Hynoski to have knee surgery
East Rutherford, NY – New York Giants fullback Henry Hynoski will undergo surgery on Friday to repair an injured medial collateral ligament and a chip fracture to the lateral plateau in his left knee.
Hynoski suffered the injury earlier this week during the team's OTAs.
A timetable for his return was not announced, but Hynoski is optimistic about being ready for the Giants' opener in September.
"I am going to set my mind to being ready for the first game of the regular season," said Hynoski. "They said that is not an unrealistic goal, and I will do everything in my power to be ready for the start of the season."
Hynoski, entering his third season, played in all 16 games and started 11 last year for New York. Over two seasons, he has rushed for just 20 yards, but has 23 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown in 27 games -- all with the Giants.

GARY Johnson hopes to bolster his Yeovil Town squad before the visit of promotion-chasing Burnley this weekend.
The Glovers are trying to re-sign striker Ishmael Miller and midfielder Joe Ralls on loan, while they are also monitoring the situation of Bournemouth front man Wes Thomas.
Miller and Ralls returned to Nottingham Forest and Cardiff respectively when their deals expired before Yeovil's 4-0 FA Cup victory over Leyton Orient at the weekend, and Johnson is working to get them over the line before they are back in league action on Saturday (January 11)
He said: "They're both still out there; it's just the politics of their clubs along with the situation of their clubs. Both lads have told me they'd like to be a part of our season.
"With Forest and Ishmael we've got to wait and see if there is any offers for him and I'm sure Cardiff think it's better for Joe to have the experience of games.
"They're certainly not definite noes but they're also not definite yeses."
The visit of the Lancashire outfit comes on the back of that superb performance against Orient the cup.
Two goals from James Hayter put Yeovil's league woes behind them as he scored either side of half time against the League One high flyers at Huish Park.
Joel Grant scored a neat volley between Hayter's two strikes before an all-round fine display was capped off by substitute Kieffer Moore.
And while Johnson is in the market for a striker, he praised Hayter after the win.
"He looked dangerous and sharp," said Johnson.
"What we asked for at half-time was a couple of good balls into the box and it was a good ball from Liam Davis, who I thought played very well today, and a good finish from Grant and then Kevin Dawson hit a great cross which Hayter got on the end of.
"I did not want to take him off especially when you're on a hat-trick because you don't get too many chances over the years but I wanted to give Moore a confidence boost, and Adam Morgan.
"Morgan nearly scored with his first touch and Kieffer did score when he was put in so there is a lot to come from them - they are only young lads so we need to bring them out of their shells quickly."
Yeovil have been drawn away to Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round. The game will be played on the weekend of January 25/26.

Reviewed by Aidan M. (age 10)
I LOVED this book, because it was one so descriptive, it pulled you into any place of serenity, any battle that might take place. My favorite character was Graypaw, because of his playful attitude. This book is part of an enormous series done by the Erin Hunters. Even though the characters and setting are the same. Even though the books will "flash back" to previous books, no two books are the same.
I recommand these books to fantasy lovers out there!

MORGAN HILL — Officers quickly arrested a man suspected of kidnapping and raping a woman Wednesday morning, but a suspect in another assault less than 24 hours earlier remains at large, police said.
Investigators did not say that the two incidents were connected.
The first attack was reported about 2 p.m. Tuesday. An 18-year-old woman said that an acquaintance, Eladio Cruz Facio, had sexually assaulted her while she was visiting him at an auto repair shop. Facio, a San Jose resident, is still at large, police said.
The second alleged assault was reported about 8:50 a.m. Wednesday by a 33-year-old woman who called 911, saying she had been kidnapped and raped. The suspect in that case was identified as Roberto Andres Lopez, 33, of Morgan Hill. Officers located Lopez a few hours later and arrested him.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney"s Office has charged Lopez with forcible rape, sexual penetration, assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment.
Anyone with information on either case is asked to call Morgan Hill police at 408-779-2101 or submit an anonymous tip at 408-947-7867.

A bone marrow biopsy is the removal of a sample of bone marrow for testing. The procedure is most often done on the pelvic bone. It may also be done on the sternum.
Bone Marrow Biopsy
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for Procedure
A bone marrow biopsy may be done to:
- Evaluate a low red blood cell count ( anemia), low white blood cell count (leucopenia), or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)
- Diagnose and stage lymphoma or solid tumors
- Diagnose, monitor, and evaluate leukemias
- Evaluate iron level problems
- Evaluate for causes of unexplained spleen enlargement—splenomegaly
- Evaluate other blood disorders or diseases that may affect the bone marrow
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have this procedure, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
Some risk factors for complications during this procedure include:
- Bleeding disorders
- Infection of the skin at the biopsy site
- Infection in the bloodstream
- Prior radiation treatment to the biopsy site
- Severe osteoporosis
What to Expect
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do a physical exam and blood tests.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Local anesthesia will be used. It will numb the area.
Description of Procedure
You may be given a light sedative. It will help you relax. The biopsy area will be cleaned and numbed.
A hollow biopsy needle will be inserted into the bone. The needle will be twisted and moved forward. This motion will allow a sample of bone marrow to enter the core of the needle. A fair amount of pressure may be used. The needle may need to be rocked. The needle will then be removed. The bone marrow sample will be inside the needle. Pressure will be applied to the puncture area. A bandage will be applied.
Immediately After Procedure
The bone marrow specimen will be examined by a pathologist. Ask your doctor when you can expect the results.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30 minutes.
Will It Hurt?
The injection of anesthesia may sting or burn. You may notice a feeling of pressure and pain when the biopsy needle is rocked. After the biopsy is done, you may feel soreness in the area for a few hours.
Post-procedure Care
At Home
You should be able to resume your normal activities after your biopsy. If you have had a sedative, avoid driving or operating equipment until the effects of the medication have worn off.
Follow all of your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Call Your Doctor
After you are home, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the biopsy site
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Joint pain, fatigue, stiffness, rash, or other new symptoms
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

'Wally's Cafe' comes to the Woodinville Rep
- Written by Woodinville Repertory Theatre
In 1940, Wally and Louise Murdock make a bet that life could be better, much better, if they only move from New Jersey to take over a roadside cafe on the highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
And so they do — launching "Wally's Cafe" the restaurant and "Wally's Cafe" the comedy. Which is all about hopes and dreams and challenges and love in the desert.
The Woodinville Repertory Theatre (www.woodinvillerep.org) will perform "Wally's Cafe," the semi-saga of Wally, Louise and Janet, their one employee, on weekends in October.
Performances will be on Oct. 4 and Oct. 5, Oct. 11 and Oct. 12, Oct. 18 and 19 and Oct. 25 and 26, all at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday matinees will be on Oct. 6, Oct. 13 and Oct. 20, all at 2 p.m.
Performances will be at Denali Slab & Tile Studio, 16120 Woodinville Redmond Road NE, Suite 12, in Woodinville. For more information, check the theatre's website (www.woodinvillerep.org).
"Wally's Cafe" was written by Sam Bobrick and Ron Clark. Bobrick is no stranger to the Woodinville Rep.
Last spring, the theatre company performed Bobrick's "Passengers," about the characters who wander in and out of a Midwestern bus station.
Challenges is the operative word for Wally, Louise and Janet.
Wally dreams of making a fortune selling hamburgers, fries and the pot roast made from his mother's recipe.
Louise is the skeptic because she understands that the cafe is on the wrong side of the highway.
The competitor at the side of the highway always has a full parking lot. It's full in 1940. It's full in 1958. And it's full in 1981 when Wally and Louise finally decide to sell out.
Janet stumbles in with four suitcases the night before the cafe opens. She's pretty and ambitious and on her way from Quincy, Ill., to Hollywood to become a star. Except that she's no singer and can't act either.
Still the trio carves out a life, hardscrabble though it may be. They laugh and quarrel and never give up. Until there's finally a happy and funny ending.
The play premiered on Broadway in 1981 and has been performed steadily around the country ever since.
Because most of the play takes place between 1940 and 1960, audience members who attend the Oct. 18 performance can enjoy root-beer floats before the 7:30 p.m. show. Those who want to attend the Oct. 4 and Oct. 11 shows can buy one ticket and get the second ticket for free.
The show is directed by Hjalmer Anderson, the Woodinville Rep's artistic director.
The cast features:
Dan Nevin, as Wally. Dan performed in the Woodinville Rep's 2011 production of "Dearly Beloved," the farce about the small but legendary town of Fayro, Texas.
Melanie Workhoven, as Louise. Melanie has performed in many Woodinville Repertory productions, including "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and the popular 2012 production of "Southern Hospitality," another of a series of plays about Fayro, Texas.
Amy Gang, as Janet, is a Northern Arizona University graduate – and grew up in southern Nevada very close to where "Wally's Cafe" is set.

The three essential areas that can transform the Nuggets from good to great
1. Defense, defense, defense
With all due respect to tinkering with offensive schemes, it was the defensive end of the court that doomed the Nuggets in the playoffs last season. And with Kenyon Martin and Wilson Chandler – two top-flight defensive players – not on the roster, conventional wisdom says the Nuggets haven't gotten better in that department. They'll need to find cohesion and toughness on that side of the court quickly, which shouldn't be too difficult given the solid foundation the team laid for itself from the end of last year's regular season.
Arron Afflalo's return helps, and Ty Lawson's quick hands will continue to be a boost in the steals department. Rudy Fernandez has proven in the past he can be a very good defender. Corey Brewer is one of the better defenders in the league, so the perimeter is in good hands.
Interior defense, however, might take some time. Nene is a good on-ball defender and Chris Andersen is expected to get back to his block-happy alter ego, the Birdman. Center Timofey Mozgov isn't afraid to challenge shots at the rim, but will he be given a chance to play enough minutes to develop and contribute?
By extension, rebounding will be at a premium. Any good defensive possession ends with the rebound after the first missed shot, and the Nuggets were decent in not allowing a ton of offensive boards to opponents last season (10.7, 14th in the NBA). The addition of board-hunter Kenneth Faried helps immensely on the glass, and more is expected from Nene and Andersen. The Nuggets fared well on the boards last year and need a repeat performance to compliment their defense.
2. Can they shoot free throws?
The Nuggets fell apart at the free throw line after the Carmelo Anthony trade in the regular season (71.7 percent from 78.5 percent) and during the playoffs in a first round loss to Oklahoma City (70.7). And nothing was particularly encouraging about the 24-of-38 (63 percent) performance in the first preseason game against Phoenix on Tuesday night.
The sudden inability of this team to hit a high percentage from the charity stripe last year was a surprise to everyone involved given the fact those players are actually good free throw shooters. It needs to be solved, and maybe a bit of confidence is all that's required. Whatever it is, this of particular importance to coach George Karl's team, which annually is at, or among, the top in the league in free throw attempts.
3. Will they find a 20-point per night scorer?
The buzzword for this is 'star.' It might be better stated this way: Is there a player that can give the team 22-25 points every night out? Ultimately, that's what the Nuggets need to not just be a good regular season team – which they almost always have been under Karl – but a legitimate threat in the playoffs as well.
The Nuggets do not have a player on the roster that averaged more than 15.6 points per game last season. And while it's nice to have eight players average between 11 and 16 points per game, as the Nuggets did last season, that formula almost always gets you beat in the playoffs.
Danilo Gallinari was Mr. 15.6 (14.7 ppg after arriving in Denver via trade) and he'll be given the first shot to be that lead player. Karl and other Nuggets brass flew to Italy to meet with the forward in the spring, prior to the lockout. It wasn't to hang out. They wanted to clearly define their future plans for Gallo, complete with a workout regimen and let him know he's the player they expect to rise up and take control on a nightly basis. Gallinari has all the skills, but does he have the alpha dog mentality to assume the role?

Complete Pre-Nationals Results
Cal Poly SLO "B" Squad Complete Results
It was not meant to be for the Gaucho Men today in their quest for a National Championship bid. Racing in the Blue section, the first of two men's heats the Gauchos finished in 20th out of 33 teams with 490 points at the NCAA Pre-National Meet in Terre Haute, IN. UCSB will have to finish possibly in the top five at the Regional Championships to get considered for Nationals as they probably did not pick up any at-large points this afternoon.
Nonetheless, it was the Gauchos highest finish since 2001 and arguably still ranks them within the top 50 teams in Div. I competition as they would have finished in 16th or 17th place in the White race this afternoon. Stanford won the Blue race with 89 points.
Leading the charge for the Men was Junior Mike Chavez who ran one of his best races in Cross Country for UCSB. In a very deep race with 13 of the top 35 teams in the country present, Chavez finished 57th out of 217 athletes in a time of 24:40. The top five men for the Gauchos all were within forty-nine seconds of each other but it would take a much greater effort today to break into the top twenty teams as only 100 team points separated the Gauchos in 20th and the 13th place team in the race.
Going out a bit slower than planned, Chavez and fellow Junior Chris Ashley went through the 5,000m in 15:28 and 15:31 respectively just within the top one hundred racers. Behind them were Art Avitia (Jr.) in 15:40, Alex Cardiasmenos (Sr.) in 15:43, Scott Brandos (Sr.) in 15:50 and alongside him, Scott McConville was also 15:50 coming through 5k.
Finding themselves farther back than had hoped the Gauchos had some work to do to catch the teams ahead. Chavez, Ashley and Avitia began this charge as Chavez found himself battling two of Cal Poly SLO's top runners. Chavez would move all the way up into the top sixty as each athlete battled hard to not let him pass. Coming across the line in 24:40 it marked a thirty-three second personal best on the course over last year's 25:13 effort.
Ashley who had previously run alongside Chavez in 2004 and in 2005 leading up to this race was bit off his game finishing in 79th in a time of 24:53, still a twenty second best over last year. Avitia, running one his best races for the Gauchos in a big meet was just three seconds back of Ashley in 24:56 as he grabbed 86th place.
Rounding out the top five, McConville was 25:16 in 123rd place and Brandos was 25:29 in 145th. For McConville, it was his first Pre-Nationals experience and Brandos's first time back since 2002.
The Gauchos now look toward the Big West Conference Championships as they go into it ranked 2nd. Cal Poly SLO, the unanimous pick to win the Big West Championships as they were ranked 14th in the country going into the Pre-National Meet will most likely fall back into the 20's as they under performed this afternoon. A strong showing by the Gauchos in Riverside, CA in two weeks could give the Mustangs a good run for the title.
