Injured on Active Duty
Only injury or illness that results in medical retirement is a QLE. For more, visit the Medical Retirement QLE page.
We have many programs and benefits available if you were injured on active duty. How you get your care depends on your current military status.
If you're a retired service members and have a service-connected injury or illness, you may qualify for benefits through TRICARE or the VA.
A Fisher House is "a home away from home" for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. The homes provide comfortable, temporary housing for families of service members recovering from serious medical conditions. Families pay $10.00 per night to stay in a Fisher House; however, this fee is waived for families of wounded service members. The homes are normally located within walking distance of the treatment facility or have transportation available. >>Learn More

The way we digest news in Western North Carolina has changed dramatically since Asheville's first newspaper, the Highland Messenger, began publishing around 1840. Today, most of us no longer walk to the door, pick up the paper and sit down to eat with our favorite sections sprawled across the breakfast table. And even those who still do may also be checking Twitter, following hashtags and using apps.
These changes, of course, aren't limited to the North Carolina mountains. In an October study by the Pew Research Center, only 38 percent of respondents said they regularly read a daily newspaper — down from 54 percent in 2004. Meanwhile, the study noted, digital readership is up: 55 percent of regular New York Times readers now enjoy their paper on a computer or mobile device.
But is this merely a shift in delivery systems, or are there more fundamental changes afoot? What new business models will local publishers, editors and producers experiment with? How does this rapidly evolving media landscape affect our community as a whole, and individual residents' ability to access the information they need?
Does the dismantling of traditional barriers require consumers to play a more active role in assessing the news they receive? And how do educators teach journalism or even basic media literacy when there's no textbook for the warp-speed shifts continually sweeping the industry?
Our new "Media Matters" series will explore these questions and more because, at Mountain Xpress, we firmly believe that local matters — and, consequently, local media matters.

Now, that being granted, would you consider this "historically accurate" truth, or something more like a possibility that can't be verified for certain?
Well, I guess there is the difference. I would agree with you to an extant. However, since the Gospel of John was written at least 60 years after Jesus died, I wonder how much of it was stuff that Jesus/John would have been saying in 33AD, and how much of it was stuff that took decades to develop in the heads of Christians. For the traditional view to be true, someone would have to first demonstrate conclusively that it was even the Apostle John who wrote the Gospel, because if it was not all him then who knows what the authors might have had in their heads? (The only book I've read attempting to show this was John Breck's Scripture In Tradition, and to be quite honest, even as an Orthodox Christian I didn't find his arguments based on the chiasmus and such to be very persuasive). But even if it was John, or mostly him, there might still have been redactors who in attempting to "clarify" John's thought, actually distorted it.As far as Paul goes, corruption is too strong a word, but I certainly think he made a difference. Just look in Acts 1-15, the original disciples clearly did not understand how universal their message was supposed to be; it had been a big step for them to even minister to Samaritans. According to the Gospels Jesus and his disciples were almost all from the country, and almost always avoided areas that were more hellenistic (e.g., he avoided the two largest cities in the area that he was generally ministering to, which also happened to have been the most influenced by Greek/Rome). Paul was the first one to come onto the scene who knew a good bit about the Greek world, and also didn't shy away from it, but was willing to fully engage it on it's own terms.
Saint Paul was the greatest theologian of all time and chief among the Apostles.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
The title "chief among the Apostles" or "prince of the Apostles" is given to Peter.
In any case, two of the four Gospels were written by people who had never met Jesus; Luke wasn't an eyewitness, and neither was Mark.
since I think eyewitness testimony is about as persuasive as information received through tarot card reading or astrology
I'm not sure I want to post in this thread again, because I'm not prepared (in more ways than one) to answer all the questions addressed to me. But as to your question, EA, I reached that conclusion after taking some courses on human psychology at college, and after working with the public in my job for a few years, and after talking with people online and offline, and after reading various texts. People see what they want to see, or as is more likely they see what they have been conditioned to see.
Agnosticism is really atheism; the philosophical distinction between two is negligible.
but you boys believe as you wish, since you must
Oh, I don't think it's exaggerated at all. In fact, you just proved my point. You said what you've been conditioned by others, and perhaps yourself, to say. Thanks for the help. Of course I realise that such a claim is not very helpful, as it cannot be proven wrong, since each time you answer I could just say "See! I knew you'd say that!" But just because it is not a viable argument/tactic used in debates does not mean it is not true.
Well had you said "the difference between the two is, in practice, negligible" I would have, at least in part, agreed. But the philosophical distinction? It's miles apart for me. While I may live my life (practically speaking) like there is no God whom I must check with before doing something, nonetheless I consider atheism (philosophically speaking) even more unacceptable than theism.
Has anyone provided a patristic quote stating that Jesus is the Logos of Greek philosophy?
Is Clement of Alexandria early enough of a patristic witness?
Clement of Alexandria died ca. 215 AD, but he was already well know by the time of Pope Victor, which would be around 188 or 189 AD.
That would mean that he lived close in time to when the Gospel of John was written.

Volume XVI, No. 3 BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. November 4, 1936
Rev. E. 0. Schugren Unable
To Attend Activities
Beginning with a combined Chapel
service in the Junior College, Prayer
and Mission Day offered a full day of
Mission information and inspiration end-ing
with a missionary rally in the Col-lege
Chapel in the evening Wednesday,
October 28.
A spirit of informality was evident
in the rally in the evening. Dr. 0. L.
Swanson, graduate of the 1892 class
of the Seminary, and retired mission-ary
from Assam after forty-three years
of service, told of the great Jubilee
held in Assam in 1936. One great
achievement of the Jubilee was the prep-aration
which included a huge tab-ernacle
without aid from the Mission
Society. After a description of the
Jubilee, Dr. Swanson showed two reels
of scenes among native Christians and
workers in the field.
Departing from the customary pro-cedure,
the committee had arranged
for simultaneous men's and women's
meetings at 1 1 :00 A. M. The women
met in the College chapel and listened
to Miss Fern Rold and Mrs. Erle F.
Rounds. Dr. Swanson spoke before
the men's group. Taking a text from
John 4:35, Dr. Swanson emphasized
that we need to lift up our eyes and
look and see what is about us and after
we have looked, the next thing is to
pray, "Lift up your heart to God".
Rev. Erle F. Rounds began the ser-ies
of missionary addresses at the
morning chapel. A missionary to the
Philippines, the Rev. Mr. Rounds gave
a history of the missionary work in that
field. In the afternoon session, he told
the group of his calling into the mis-sionary
service. Time for questions
was given at the close of his message.
Miss Fern Rold appeared as second
speaker giving a message on "The
Light of the World".
Rev. E. 0. Schugren, missionary to
South India, was unable to be present
for the day. Also, Rev. L. A. Love-gren,
who had been called in to speak,
was prevented in fulfilling his engage-ment
because of illness.
The sessions were led by Faculty
members and a number of students
sang and led devotions.
Bethel Pianist To Play
For Minneapolis Chorus
Clarence Olson, accompanist for the
Male Chorus and Mixed Chorus, was
recently appointed pianist for the re-hearsals
of the Minneapolis A Capella
Chorus and also the Odin Male Chorus.
The A Capella Chorus took first
place in the Chicagoland Music Festival
held at Chicago last summer under the
auspices of the Chicago Tribune. The
Odin Male Chorus is an organization
of Swedish singers of the Twin Cities.
Professor George G. Hultgren is the
director of both Choruses.
The Bethel Institute Women's Fed-eration
held its annual fruit shower at
Bethel Institute Tuesday afternoon, Oc-tober
27. Pierre Tangent, Steward of
the boarding club, led the afternoon
meeting. The message was brought by
Everett Backlin, Seminary senior. Dr.
0. L. Swanson who was a guest speaker
at the Prayer and Missionary Day ac-tivities,
spoke a few words at the con-clusion
of the meeting. Among the
things he said was the statement that
"as long as you have the women be-hind
you, you will go ahead". Since
it was Dean Karl Karlson's fifty-ninth
birthday, the group sang "Happy Birth-day"
to him. Dean Karlson closed the
meeting with prayer.
The Student Volunteers, under the
enthusiastic leadership of President
Donald Peterson, began their extensive
program of the year by taking charge
of devotions on Prayer and Mission
Day last Wednesday.
Their first Wednesday night meeting
will be held on November 18, and after
that there will be a meeting once every
two months. Some chapel services will
be conducted by the Volunteers. At the
first of these, opportunity will be given
for all interested students to join.
Donald Tanquist is vice-president and
Florence Lindstrom the secretary-treas-urer
of the group.
The annual program of the Sopho-more
class of the Junior College will
be held Friday evening, November 20.
Everyone is asked to keep this date
in mind and to journey eastward in
miles and backward in years as the
picturesque and significant events cen-tering
around the first Thanksgiving
Day are again recalled.
Remember that the Sophomores have
an interesting evening in store for you
on Friday, November 20.
Several new projects are being car-ried
out at Bethel through the National
Youth Administration. Through a
monthly allowment of two bnndred and
forty-seven dollars, twenty students are
working at school and thus earning
part of their expenses.
One student has been assigned to
collect birds and mount them for the
Zoology department. This work is done
under the supervision of Dean Johnson,
Zoology instructor. Another student is
sorting and labeling the articles in the
missionary collection. Still another is
collecting pictures of missionaries to be
placed in panels on the chapel walls.
Other projects include making his-torical
notebooks, cataloguing new
music, arranging a possible itinerary
for the male chorus tour, and improv-ing
the tennis courts. Much work is
being done in repairing, painting and
varnishing woodwork.
Journalists Frolic at
Tuesday Evening Party
Gathered around the fireplace of the
Seminary dining hall Tuesday evening,
October 20, the Clarion staff held a
unique social, an indoor pow-wow.
Such a pleasant evening was spent
that the change from an outdoor to
an indoor pow-wow, which was neces-sitated
by the weather, was not re-gretted.
Many amusing games and
stunts were engaged in during the
course of the evening after which re-freshments
were served.
Carl Lundquist was in charge of the
games for the group. Helen Larson
and Dick Werner served as the refresh-ment
committee. .
Mrs. Carl Sabel, mother of Miss
Esther Sabel, instructor in the College
and Seminary, died early Friday morn-ing,
October 30, in Chicago. Mrs. Sabel
had been ill a short time with bronchial
Immediately upon receiving the news,
Miss Sabel left for Chicago.
Well Rounded Program Arranged
for Homecomng Alumni
"Get a B.A. Degree." This is the
slogan for Bethel's Homecoming fest-ivity
to be held November 6 on the
Bethel Campus. Aspirants for the B.A.
Degree will receive it after completion
of only one hour's work beginning at
6:00 P. M. and culminating in a Com-mencement
Banquet at 7:00 P. M. at
which the "degrees" will be awarded.
Wilbur Sorley, student body pres-ident
and chairman of the program
committee, made the statement that
"Beginning with the registration and
ending with the awarding of diplomas,
the program will carry you by leaps
and bounds through the entire course
of the 'school' ". Everyone attending
will work for his degree. Mr. Sorley
said "the only entrance requirements
that will hinder anyone will be prompt-ness".
After completion of the work towards
a "B.A. Degree" the homecoming
group will gather for the "school"
banquet. This will be featured with
musical entertainment. The annual
business meeting of the Alumni will
be held after which the commencement
exercises and presentation of "B.A."
degrees will take place.
3:00-5:30—Open House in Dormi-tories.

house in the Men's Dormitory and this
year the Ladies' Dormitory on Como-
Phalen Avenue. Dormitory roomers will
open their rooms to friends between
3:00 and 5:30 in the afternoon. Those
desiring their mid-afternoon coffee will
be served "Kaffee och dopp" in the
Cafeteria Coffee Shoppe at 3:30.
The Alumni undergraduate basket-ball
game will not be held this year.
Instead, the committee hopes to arrange
for a period of inter-class and inter-department
competitive sports.
Planning for the day's activities are
four committees: The Faculty commit-tee

John Greenleaf Whittier, 1866
Immortal Love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For Him no depths can drown.
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet
And love its Galilee.
The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
Through Him the first fond prayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with His name.
0 Lord and Master of us all!
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by thine.
-:- Quiet Meditation -:-
"Behold, the Bridegroom! Come ye forth to
meet him." Matt. 25:6.
How startled the ten virgins must have been
when they were awakened out of their sleep by the
cry "Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to
meet him." The time had come for them to trim
their lamps in order that they might be ready for
for the march back to the bride's home for the
wedding feast. But alas, five of the virgins had ne-glected
to make the proper preparations for this
march for their oil soon gave out. What a pathetic
situation! What a pathetic request! "Give us of
your oil, for our lamps are dying out." "Right here
we can see the difference in the ten virgins. Surely
all were nominal Christians for they all bore the
lamps or torches symbolic of a mouth confession
and testimony; they all went out to meet the bride-groom.
Yet they were not all ready to meet him!
Five of them were unsaved, unregenerate, for the
bridegroom told them that he never knew them.
It was too late, for the door had closed. "I don't
know you."
Should not such a scene as this challenge our
hearts in a special way so that we might go out and
point such who are not known as children of the
living God to the Master? A certain man tells us
of a wonderful dream he had some time ago. In his
dream he seemed to hear the midnight cry, "Be-hold,
the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet
him." He with several of his friends gathered at
the shore of a beautiful lake, waiting with hands
clapsed, and with eyes toward the distant horizon,
waiting for the coming of the Christ. They were
all dressed in white garments. As he was watching
and waiting, he was gripped with the realization that
there were others in that assembly who were not
ready to meet the bridegroom for he could see that
they were dressed in straw. The sight pierced his
heart so he spoke to his own friends, "We must
not be satisfied with being ready ourselves for
there are others who need Christ too. Let us scatter
among the crowd and tell them that the blood of
Christ will cleanse them from all sin so that they
too can be ready to meet the bridegroom?" Those
who were dressed in white scattered and brought
the glorious message of redemption to those who
were dressed in straw. One by one their garments
became as white as snow for they too had found the
Savior and now were ready to meet Him.
May God so pierce the heart of everyone of us
with that challenge to go out and win others so
that they might be ready with oil in their lamps .. .
ready for the coming of the blessed Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.

Entered as second-class matter October 9, 1935 at the post-office
at St. Paul, Minnesota under the act of March 3, 1879.
On Friday, November 6, the faculty and students of
Bethel open wide their hearts to Bethel's friends and
alumni. We are anxious to see many of the grads return
to revisit the familiar and well-loved haunts of their
alma mater.
Every effort is being put forth to provide for the enter-tainment,
edification, and fellowship of every visitor in
order that this homecoming may be a never-to-be-for-gotten
day in their lives.
There is only one thing necessary to make this annual
event a success. Without your cooperation in this matter,
Bethel's homecoming will fail. This one thing is your
presence. November 6 is your day here at school. It is
your opportunity to visit old friends and make many
new ones.
May we count on you to come home to your school on
your day?
"Look out and see." This statement, expressed by
Dr. 0. L. Swanson on Prayer and Mission Day, is one
that should provide much food for meditation and thought
to the earnest student. It is a compelling statement. Dr.
Swanson declared that there are "seventeen million
children in the United States who are not in Sunday
School". Then he asked the question of great import,
"How about the other fifty-four nations in the world?"
Nevertheless, the spirit toward Missions is re-trench-ment,
the spirit of many professing Christians is resig-nation,
the spirit of too many people is that of with-drawal.
But the facts tell us that the work is only begun. The
seed which has been sown midst persecution, stress, and
even death is now bearing hundred fold, some sixty fold,
some thirty fold. Our action in behalf of the Master's
command to "go ye into all the world" has simply be-gun.
Jesus Christ says "Go!" and His promise, "Lo, I
am with you always" is with us. Yet we rationalize
and criticize, and the fulness of our Lord's command goes
On the face of the great need and the great results
from the work being done, do we dare to let indifference
and everyday care becloud our vision of the spiritial
needs of the world? Can we shirk our responsibility to
foster a missionary spirit among the people we minister
to, or further, to give our lives for the missionary cause?
"Look out and See."

Progress Phobia
At some time the revolutionist lays
down a principle that he has formu-lated
out of an ideal. He dreams of
starting a new and good order that
will have progressive movement for
its guiding principle. He lays down
a foundation of a few elementary plans.
But this rebel gets practical follow-ers
who cannot see beyond the elem-entary
plan. If his dream were to ad-vance
human liberty they see only
general suffrage for the desired fulfill-ment.
That general suffrage is secured
and the practical followers make a
patron saint out of the dead rebel.
They believe that they have secured the
desired goal by achieving the initial
But they are wrong! They fail to
understand the spirit that moved the
rebel, a spirit that saw much farther
than the temporary measure. As monu-ments
are raised to the dead hero by
the ones grateful for what has been
done there is an announcement made
of a failure to see that the struggle
for human liberty is eternal and that
it goes farther than the initial step
advocated by the first rebel. For human
liberty is an eternal struggle! These
followers become vigilant to prevent
any further steps. They invoke the
dead rebel to defend living Toryism.
The rebel spirit has become dead letter!
Do not think that we no longer have
the Tory. He is still here, his deaden-ing
hand is yet dragging the dream of
yesterday's revolutionist to earth and
forcing that dream to take on the
earthy. This Tory is found among all
ranks and opinions of men. Sometimes
the Tory invokes Jefferson, sometimes
Lincoln, sometimes Marx. Always he
clothes himself with progressiveness of
the past and invokes the statutes of
dead rebels. By so doing he still de-clares
himself a Tory and a defender
of the status quo. Here are some of
the principles of Toryism.
"Criticism is permissible unless it is
criticism of essential fault."
"To accomplish too much is perilous.
It is better to be content with medi-ocrity.
"Do not examine a wordy ideal. It
may break."
"It is well to establish a custom of
useless endeavor."
"The best road is safe, sane, and
"Go halfway up the mountain."
"The safest utterances are echoes
from the past."
"Praise dead revolutionists, extirpate
the living."
No moral is needed. Either I am un-derstood
or not understood. I am
neither personal, local, nor sarcastic.
This is the statement of a universal
tendency to echo revolution from the
past in order to defend one's self
from the searching needs of today.

November 4, 1936 THE BETHEL CLARION Page Three
Alf M. Landon, the Republican nom-inee
for President, was given a two-to-
one majority over the incumbent
President in a hotly contested political
debate and election held at a recent
Alexis meeting.
The annals of Alexis antiquity hav-ing
been diligently though frantically
searched by the school's most promising
historians, and upon a most loquacious
affirmation of Aleck Olson, who has
been attending Alexis Society meet-ings
for ten years, as well as the ready
confirmation of innumerable others,
qualified to speak because of an inti-mate
knowledge of the subject, or
through sheer durations of time spent
upon the campus, we are brought to
the conclusion that the gigantic political
rally held on Wednesday evening Oc-tober
14 has no peer in the realm of
Bethel's political life.
We have the Republican National
Convention, which meets every four
years. Likewise, there is the Demo-cratic
National Convention which also
meets every four years, but never
before have the two combined in a
joint meeting, and that within the con-fines
of the Institute.
The occasion was a gala one. In-numerable
faces of Landon and Roose-velt,
in their poster-like composure
gazed upon the assembled multitude
from conspicuous moorings on the four
walls and platform of the auditorium.
The key-note was struck by Aymond
Anderson when he insisted that the Re-publican
platform was "very sound—
very, very, much SOUND!!!" The
gathered throng became fired with
the contagion of the occasion, and
provided "much SOUND I I!" even to
the highly organized Democratic cheer-ing
section which was seated en masse,
in a prominent place in the front of
the hall.
The Republican spokesman, Bruce
Fleming, with a burst of heart-stirring
oratory, convinced the crowd that our
country is about to be endangered by
a red-colored revolution; while the
ardent supporter of the Democratic
party, Hilding Lind, in a mood of grave
sincerity, proved that our nation is
about to cross the threshold of the
Utopia which only such philosophical
dreamers as More, Tolstoy, and Karl
Marx dared to even suggest as a re-mote
All this, accompanied by spasmodic,
tumultuous outbursts of approval, and
occasional displays of disapproval, was
brought to a fitting conclusion when
ballots were placed in the hand of all
present, giving each one an opportunity
to express his own opinions, whether
they were the gleanings of political
prejudice of long standing, or the vas-cillating
convictions brought about by
th platform vicissitudes of the occasion.
As previously mentioned, the result was
a landslide for the Republican party.
Awake ye lyrists, take your pens
in hand and write to the glory of your
Alma Mater. The Student Council is
sponsoring a contest for a school song.
"We want a 'medium' song, - said Wil-bur
Sorley, Student Body president.
And he went on to explain that by "me-dium"
he meant one that would truly
express the religious, educational, and
social spirit of Bethel.
All students and alumni are urged
to submit a poem if they feel poetically
inclined. The entries will be judged
by a committee from outside the school
and a liberal prize will be given to the
winner. Professor Hultgren will set the
poetry to music. All entries must be
in before December 1.
-The Marvel of the Hind's Feet"
was Dr. Glenn Clark's topic of discus-sion
as he appeared before chapel Wed-neSday,
October 14. Dr. Clark, who is
from Macalaster College, talked about
the value of having hind's feet. In
applying it to ourselves he said if we
would believe not only in our front
mind but also rear mind, our hind's
feet, we would be able to go higher
Students Report
During the chapel hour Monday,
October 19, the students who had at-tended
the B.Y.P.U. conference at Du-luth
gave short talks, or statements
about the different sessions held. In
these talks, they all mentioned the great
inspiration and blessings which they
had received.
Former Boxer Speaks
Rev. John Sornberger, former middle-weight
boxing champion of the North-west
and at present minister in some
lumber camps in the North, spoke at
chapel Tuesday, October 20. In the
course of his talk, Rev. Sornberger said
that we should not try to see how close
we could come to sin and still hold our
Christian principles, but we should stay
away from it as much as possible. He
also mentioned different things which
a Christian should do and said that we
should walk carefully and watch out
for the little things over which so many
of us stumble.

During the month of November, vol-ley-
ball will occupy the spotlight on the
Bethel intra-mural sport card. A sched-ule
of twelve games has been arranged
for the four-team league, which will
run up until just before the Thanks-giving
Last year some hot competition was
furnished in a similar league and
there is every reason to believe that
competition will be even stiffer this
year as the teams are more evenly
balanced than they were last year.
At the conclusion of the league, the
winning team will play an All-Star
team selected from the rest of the
players in a series of exhibition matches.
Whites Lead in Touchball
Sporting a one-game lead in the
"win" column over the Blues with
whom they have waged a nip-and-tuck
battle all the way, the Whites appear
to have the flag clinched in the Fall
touchball League which comes to a
conclusion this next week.
Each team has only one game left
to play. The Whites should easily win
their game against the "unfortunate"
Redswho have yet to register a victory.

October 21. Rev. Tanis said
that it was not a case of forcing the
people to accept the Word of God but
that the people were eagerly waiting for
it. He also told about the horribleness
of heathenism and cannibalism in Ni-geria
and displayed a number of articles
used by the headhunters.
Rev. Murphy Speaks
Rev. E. C. Murphy, who has been do-ing
evangelistic work in penitentiaries
of the country for twenty-five years,
was the chapel speaker Monday, Octo-ber
26. In his talk he told about his
experiences in bringing hardened crim-inals
to Christ. He read several poems
which had been written by a man who
had lived a life of crime but had found
Christ while he was in prison.
Former Students Address Students
Rev. Franklin Nelson, pastor of the
Minnehaha Baptist Church in Minnea-polis,
was the speaker at chapel Tues-day,
October 13. In his talk he said
that we should not be offended by small
things. "A soft answer turneth away. -
"Just because most people are not
followers of Christ is no reason why we
should not be followers of Christ,"
stated Rev. Eric Anderson of the Cen-tral
Baptist Church when he spoke at
chapel Thursday, October 15.
Assurance in the things of God, was
the theme of the talk given by Rev. 0.
Milton Lind, pastor of the First Swedish
Baptist Church of St. Paul on October
During the last four weeks Pierre
Tangent, steward of the Boarding Club,
together with members of the club, has
made trips to various Baptist church
near St. Paul. These students took part
in the services of the church and then
brought back food donations from each
The members of these church were
very kind and liberal in their donations
to the club as shown both by the
great variety and the great quantity
of food brought back. Springvale and
Dalbo contributed mostly potatoes,
while Isle, Opstead, Hillman, Red Wing,
and Lake City gave mostly canned
fruit. Grantsburg, Trade Lake, Wood
River, and Falun donated a very liberal
supply of foodstuffs.
According to Mr. Tangent, a few
more trips will be made. Those places
to be visited in the near future are
Stanchfield, Fish Lake, Harris, Isanti,
and Duluth.
The freshmen and sophomores of the
Junior College have each had their
usual class pow-wow this fall.
The sophomores held theirs at Battle
Creek Park, Friday evening, October
9. Here they played games and roasted
hot-dogs around the campfire. Devotions
were in the form of testimonies and
The freshmen were unfortunate in
that they chose a rainy evening for
their pow-wow making it necessary
for them to play their games and sing
their choruses in the College gymnas-ium,
and eat their frankfurters in the
cafeteria. This pow-wow was not strict-ly
a class function for when it was de-cided
to meet in the gymnasium the
other classmen were invited.
How Far Have We Come?
by C. L. Newcomb
"In making a march,
it is well to pause
occasionally and ob-serve
the route both
ahead and to the
rear." That's how
Army Field Service
Regulations put it.
At this time of year,
we too may follow
this advice. Now
Buy and Use when the tuberculosis
CHRISTMAS Christmas Seals make
SEALS their annual appear-ance,
we, as citizens, should acquaint
ourselves with what has happened in
the fight against this dread disease—
and what lies ahead.
For thirty years a voluntary army
has mustered itself for duty in raising
funds with which to carry on educa-tional
work in the public health field of
tuberculosis control to the end that a
preventable and curable disease may
be conquered. The march has been
along a well defined route starting with
Koch's discovery of the tubercle bacil-lus
in 1882 and past such important
milestones as the building of the first
tuberculosis sanatorium by Dr. Ed-ward
L. Trudeau and the inauguration
of the first Christmas Seal sale by
Miss Emily P. Bissell in 1907.
For thirty years the battle has been
waged, with ups and downs, until now
we can see victory ahead. We must
keep on. It is not enough that we have
made progress to the extent of reducing
the deaths from tuberculosis by more
than two-thirds. There are still al-most
70,000 people needlessly dying
each year, and most important, the
majority of deaths occur in that age
group, 15 to 45, which is right at the
door of economic independence and
We can't all be up in the front line
of fighters but we do all have the priv-ileged
opportunity of supporting the
soldiers on the march. We can buy
and use Christmas Seals. They finance
the greatest war the world has even
known—a war that shall go on until
the ancient enemy of mankind is wiped
off the face of the earth.
A long way have we come. We can
look back with satisfaction but we
must look ahead with determination and
with confidence in the tuberculosis
associations of the country who have
led the fight.
Let's all buy Christmas Seals this
year and help in this great fight.

Gently laid my books on desk and
tip-toed out of room and off to Alexis
where a political rally gathered steam
and expelled it noisily. Landon liter-ature
literally littered the hall, but poor
Roosevelt seemingly held in disrepute.
Republican orator "split ears of ground-lings"
who responded lustily with, as
Will would say, "inexplicable dumb

Thurs. Oct. 22.
Down to the gym of the evening for
to wallop villainous volley-ball. Slightly
disconcerted on being rudely separated
from my glasses and on catching up
with them to find integrity of a lens dis-turbed.
Resolved to enter some other

book disgustingly early.

Come evening, borrowed Don Pete's
school suit and off to hard-time party.
Arrived and found him wearing mine.
He took the prize. Had face smeared
with charcoal playing a cute chin
chucking game, but blustered out of

Day of rest so off to church for to

Resurrected breeches and boots and
off to country for to pursue pheasants.
Paid dollar borrowed from Kermit for

General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, ending the Civil War in Virginia. A month later, on May 9, 1865, President Andrew Johnson recognized Francis H. Pierpont as provisional governor of Virginia. In 1866, the Fourteenth Amendment protecting the rights of freedmen was submitted by Congress to the states for ratification, but the Virginia General Assembly voted on January 9, 1867, not to ratify it.
On March 2, 1867, Congress, led by Radical Republicans who were dissatisfied by events in the former Confederate states, placed the South under military administration. Virginia was designated Military District Number One and Major General John M. Schofield was appointed commander. Under military government, African American males voted for the first on October 22, when ballots were cast for delegates to a constitutional convention. The constitutional convention, to which about two dozen African American men were elected, met from December 3, 1867, to April 17, 1868. General Schofield did not allow the required referendum on the constitution to take place because it disenfranchised many former Confederates and altered the format of local governance. Schofield also replaced Governor Pierpont with Henry H. Wells.
The constitution, which provided for universal manhood suffrage, finally went to voters on July 6, 1869, and was passed. A provision that disenfranchised former Confederates was submitted to voters separately and was defeated. On October 8, 1869, Virginia voted to ratify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as part of the requirement for being readmitted to the Union. The act readmitting Virginia to the Union and its representatives into Congress was signed by President Ulysses S. Grant on January 26, 1870. This ended the era of Reconstruction in Virginia.

Actress Mayim Bialik wrote a series of online posts detailing her divorce as she wanted to help other women going through the same process.
"The Big Bang Theory" star filed papers to end her nine-year marriage to Michael Stone, the father of her two sons, last year and the divorce was finalised in May, but the pair also had to seal their separation through their Jewish faith.
Bialik blogged about her separation on Jewish lifestyle website Kveller.com so other women could learn from her experience of divorce and what to expect from the process.
She explains on "Access Hollywood Live," "I wanted to write about some of the more complicated aspects. And specifically, also, there's certain things (related) to Jewish divorce that people don't know about.
"There's something called a Get. There's a religious process. You sit in the same room and you watch your divorce deed be written. It's actually a very interesting thousands year old (sic) document that you watch written and you have to be in the same room as your ex.
"To me, it was a very cathartic, very emotionally powerful sense of closure for us. It's very intense. So I wrote for Kveller about some of those aspects in hopes (sic) to… (be) helpful to other people or other women."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The start of Ivy League play is less than a week away, and it appears the Yale men's basketball team is ready. Ross Morin scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Travis Pinick added 14 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals to lead the Bulldogs to a 71-63 victory over Hartford at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
Yale, which plays at Brown in the Ivy opener next Friday, has won three straight games.
"We're really confident," said Pinick. "We've played a lot of close games and have been fortunate enough to win the last three. There is no better time to be peaking."
The Bulldogs (5-9) trailed 38-29 at halftime but shot 60 percent (15 of 25) from the field in the second half, while holding the Hawks to just 31.8 percent (7 of 22). Yale outscored Hartford 42-25.
"In the first half we did a poor job of taking care of the basketball," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "At halftime we talked about what we wanted to accomplish of offense."
Pinick's play was the spark. He scored 13 of his points and grabbed seven rebounds in the final 20 minutes.
"I was just trying to be aggressive," Pinick said. "The seams were open, and things worked out."
"Travis is a tremendous athlete," Jones said. "He has the ability to do so many things. He can rebound, find open guys and score."
Yale (5-9) began the second half with 10-1 run over the first five minutes to tie the score at 39. The Hawks built the lead back to five, 53-48, midway through the period, but the Bulldogs answered with a 10-5 run to tie the score at 58-58 with 6:34 left.
Two Pinick free throws gave Yale the lead for good with 5:52 left, and a Morin layup with 3:12 remaining increased the lead to five, 64-59. The Hawks got back within three on two Jaret von Rosenberg free throws with 1:20 remaining, but Morin answered with a layup, and Alex Zampier made two free throws with 29 seconds remaining to seal the victory.
The Hawks played a tenacious matchup zone, but Yale was able to get the ball inside in the second half, while committing only three turnovers. Morin, who made 7 of 10 shots from the field, scored 11 of his points after halftime.
"We haven't seen a lot of matchup zone, but we were able to break it down and get it into the big guys," Pinick said. "If you can do that, you can be successful."
Zampier finished with 14 points and six rebounds for the Bulldogs. Michael Sands added six points, while Greg Mangano and Chris Andrews, who made his first career start, contributed five points apiece.
Yale's bench outscored Hartford's 18-9.
Von Rosenberg played all 40 minutes and paced Hartford with 24 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Andres Torres added 14 points.
The Bulldogs led by two, 19-17, midway through the first half, but the Hawks used a 13-3 run, capped by a Michael Turner jumper, to go ahead by eight. Kevin Estes's basket with five seconds left gave Hartford a 38-29 lead at the intermission.
Yale shot just 42 percent in the first half and committed 11 turnovers, which led to 15 Hartford points.
"We did a good job of winning the basketball game in the second half," Jones said. "We haven't always been able to do that this season. Hopefully this will give us some confidence."
The Bulldogs play at Brown next Friday at 7 p.m.

High school students in Walton County soon might have another educational option.
SEASIDE � High school students in Walton County soon might have another educational option.
Seaside Neighborhood School is considering adding grades 10, 11 and 12, according to Cathy Brubaker, director of program development for the charter school.
�Each year our parents always ask us to add a high school, but we�ve never felt like we could do it financially,� she said. �(But now) it�s all moving quickly and positively. I feel really good about it.�
The school now has sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades.
If all goes according to plan, Seaside would open a collegiate high school in August with grades nine and 10. Eleventh and 12th grades would be added the following two years, she said.
Assuming the Seaside School Board gives the concept the green light, Northwest Florida State College tentatively has agreed to lease classrooms at its South Walton campus for the new school.
Northwest Florida State President Ty Handy said he has been speaking with Seaside School officials since last fall about the proposal, and a draft lease agreement exists.
Right now, the college is using only about five classrooms during the day at its campus on U.S. Highway 331 just north of U.S. Highway 98, so leasing some others to Seaside doesn�t look to be a big issue. Most college classes are held at the campus in the evening, Tandy said.
When all is said and done, each grade level would have 40 students, Brubaker said.
Ideally, freshmen and sophomores will be able to take advanced placement courses offered at nearby South Walton High School. Juniors and seniors would be provided transportation to Northwest Florida State�s main campus in Niceville to take college courses.
Brubaker said Seaside School also hopes to forge relationships with other universities and colleges across Florida to provide special summer educational programs.
�We feel like we could really do something different where we have everybody working together,� Brubaker said. �I�m just really excited about the possibilities.�
Students now enrolled at Seaside seem equally enthusiastic, she said.
In a recent survey, more than 90 percent of the school�s 133 students said they would attend the proposed high school.
�It�s a wonderful opportunity for kids who are focused� academically, Brubaker said. �(And) I think there�s going to be more and more needs for educational opportunities in Walton (County).�
In addition to the high school grades, Seaside also is considering adding kindergarten through fifth grades.
Those grades would be established at another campus in about two years, and would keep the small class sizes the school is known for, Brubaker said.
Seaside Neighborhood School opened in 1996 and operated out of trailers with donated supplies and furniture. The existing school was built after residents opted to give it money Seaside received from the movie �The Truman Show� being filmed there.
The Seaside School Board is set to vote Thursday on whether or not to go forward with the additional grades, Brubaker said.

Sensory and Connectivity Abnormalities in Autism and Language Disorders

Among the most commonly reported symptoms of autism is heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Children and adults with autism spectrum disorders often react with aversion to various sounds (e.g., by covering their ears and screaming) especially at an early age. The investigators believe that this is because autism spectrum disorders affect how sensory input is experienced. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate sensory processing abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders, or, in other words, to evaluate how and why children and adults with autism spectrum disorders experience external sensory information (vision, audition, touch) differently than healthy children and adults.
Because some of the same abnormalities are also reported in children and adults with developmental language disorders such as language delay or dyslexia, the investigators are also interested in how that population experiences external sensory information.
|Condition or disease
|Autism Spectrum Disorder Developmental Language Disorders
To study how sensory information is processed by the brain, we primarily use an instrument called MEG (MagnetoEncephaloGraphy), which measures the magnetic brainwaves emitted by our brains. The device does not have any output (i.e., there is no magnetic field); it only measures the waves produced in the brain.
We measure those waves as the participants in the study listen to, view, or otherwise experience simple, non painful, stimuli. For instance, participants may listen to words while sitting in the MEG room, and watching a movie with the sound turned off.
We then combine this information with pictures of the brain from MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging - when available), to get an idea about both the anatomy and the function of the brain, so that we can study how the brains of populations with autism spectrum disorders or language disorders may be different from those of healthy populations.

A reception celebrated a Hope/Holland community collaboration that has helped highlight a distinctive neighborhood.
Ten Hope students enrolled in the college's leadership program worked across the spring semester with 15 high-school age students at Holland's Van Raalte Tech to create colorful banners to support the stores and atmosphere of Washington Square, located along Washington Avenue between 18th and 19th streets.
The illustrations on the banners, hanging on both sides of the block, represent the district as well as individual stores. The Hope students organized and coordinated the project, and worked with the Van Raalte Tech students to write a grant request to the Holland/Zeeland Community Foundation, which provided $500 in support.
The Hope and high school students worked together to complete the banners, which feature artwork by the Van Raalte Tech students.
Representing the Hope group at left in the photo is 2011 graduate Joel Riegsecker, a business management major and leadership minor from Middlebury, Ind., pictured with students from Van Raalte Tech.

Sons of Frida released The Bulgarian LP in May 2010
Download the song 'Burn' for free from the Insomnia Radio Daily Dose
Parisian post-rockers Sons of Frida, purveyors of beautiful musical chaos and complex aural textures, started life in 2004 and brought out their fourth album, The Bulgarian LP, earlier this year. It is equal parts dissonant anarchy, driving post-rock/math-rock and lyrics that could soundtrack a descent into madness. Despite its almost crushingly tumultuous sound, the album is cohesive and engaging, pulling you under with a riptide of noisy rock and deliciously dark tones.
There is a decidedly bi-polar feeling to this record, as it throws in occasional, fleeting moments of melodic bliss before the music descends once again into the chaos, where you find a juddering mix of clashing guitars, prominent, driving bass lines and heavy, tight drumming. From the dichotomy of dissonance and harmony, to the occasional haunting trumpet that pierces through the layers of guitars and the hint of a French accent hiding behind the English lyrics, this is a record that is in a constant struggle with itself, forever reinforcing the ever so slight discomfort that you get from such an intense musical experience.
But, while The Bulgarian LP embraces the dark fragments of the human spirit and displays them with candour, it never lets those fragments take a complete hold. Like the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, there is a glimmer of harmony that peppers the record that can't be shaken. The album is a glorious cacophony, a pulsing landscape of dark discord and dissatisfaction cut with the sweetest flickers of light.
[As the first proper, direct submission to missmorrisonsmix.com, The Bulgarian LP by Sons of Frida will always be special to this site; listen out for a track on the first episode of the forthcoming Miss Morrison's Mix podcast!]

Guantánamo prosecutor uncovers CIA photos of accused bomber
The CIA has uncovered photos it took of an alleged al-Qaida bomber before the agency brought the waterboarded captive to Guantánamo in 2006, according to a partial transcript of a secret hearing in the USS Cole death-penalty case.
Prosecutor Joanna Baltes made the disclosure in the portion of a June 14 hearing at Guantánamo that government censors are now allowing the public to see.
Just three days before the secret hearing, another case prosecutor, Navy Cmdr Andrea Lockhart, announced in open court that the government had turned over to defense lawyers all evidence the government considered relevant in the case of Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, 48.
The Saudi captive is accused of organizing al-Qaida's 2000 suicide bombing of the warship off Yemen's port of Aden that killed 17 U.S. sailors. His trial could start next year.
But, at the hearing, Nashiri's attorney argued that the defense is entitled to know more about what the U.S. agents did to the captive between 2002 and 2006 "beyond waterboarding," which the public already has learned about through unclassified abuse investigations. What attorney Rick Kammen asked for specifically, however, is blacked out under nearly 20 lines of hearing transcript.
At issue in the case is a classified prosecution motion that asks the case judge to adopt a secret finding that will govern some sort of non-transparent aspect of both the USS Cole and 9/11 death-penalty prosecutions.
The request is so sensitive that the Pentagon war court couldn't conjure up a name for the legal filing beyond "CLASSIFIED."
But the transcript makes clear the government is seeking to shield for "national security reasons" aspects of the CIA's black site program in which the U.S. government hid CIA captives from both the International Red Cross and refused them lawyers during up to four years in the agency's secret overseas prison network.
President Barack Obama ordered the program shut down when he took office. But by then Nashiri was already waterboarded by agents, interrogated with a revving drill and racked pistol to his head — and delivered to the U.S. Navy base in Cuba for prosecution in the U.S. Navy warship bombing case.
What makes the photos so potentially intriguing is that the CIA had at some point videotaped its use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques on some captives, then lied to Justice Department lawyers about the tapes existence until after an agency operative destroyed them. This occurred after a judge had issued an order preserving evidence from the black sites.
Baltes said in the closed session that "the photos were newly discovered items that will be provided to the defense within probably the next week or so." She said the images "are not necessarily specific to any particular location."
Left unclear in the portion of the transcript the public is allowed to read is whether the CIA wouldn't divulge to the prosecution where they took these photos — or if they were taken in no specific place, for example aboard secret flights that spirited black-site captives around the world.
To bolster its request for secrecy, Baltes said at the closed hearing, the prosecution included a declaration from former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who left the agency in mid-2011 to become Secretary of Defense, less than six months before Nashiri was formally charged in the death penalty case.
Left unclear is whether retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, who replaced Panetta at the agency, or his successor John Brennan endorsed the proposed secret structure discussed in the no-name motion at the Guantánamo court.
At the CIA, spokesman Dean Boyd said, since the case is in litigation, the agency would not comment on when the agency discovered it had the photos. Also, he referred to the Pentagon what, if anything the photos portray Nashiri doing.
The revelation comes in the heavily redacted 55-page transcript in which Nashiri's defense lawyer, Kammen, lodges a protest that the accused was excluded from the pretrial hearing.
The secret motion for a secret finding somehow addresses a prosecution system of, as Kammen calls it, "sanitizing" CIA evidence. It borrows from federal classified protection procedures by creating summaries of CIA information, not the actual CIA documents about what it learned and how it treated Nashiri between his capture in Dubai in November 2002 and his surfacing at Guantánamo in September 2006.
Under the system, the judge, Army Col. James L. Pohl, gets to read whatever the CIA furnished to the prosecutors and gets to decide whether the summaries are sufficiently representative.
Kammen, a veteran death-penalty defender, calls the information particularly crucial in the mitigation phase of the trial, meaning he might need it to argue against the death-penalty — if the jury of military officers convicts Nashiri. He argued in the secret session that the summaries are insufficient.
Kammen also complained that there was no way to verify the accuracy of the prosecution's summary of how Nashiri had been treated because under the rules of the commission, Nashiri is not allowed to read the classified summaries.
Without letting the man held by the CIA read what they say happened to him, Nashiri can't say "how false they are, how incomplete they are, how misleading they are, how sanitizing they are." Baltes replied that Kammen can ask Nashiri his recollections and compare them to the summaries.

Back to School with Diverse Books
|I received a free copy of this book to review as part of
Multicultural Children's Book Day. The views expressed are my own.
We love discovering new books, especially books that include characters that reflect the diverse world in which we live. Not only does Today the Teacher Changed Our Seats feature a diverse group of students in the classroom as well as an African-American male teacher, but it is also a book that allows for learning discussions and activities around the math concept of grouping and the reality that sometimes teachers do things our children don't like (i.e. separating them from their friends or asking them to sit somewhere new).
Since grouping is a math concept my 3 and 5 year-old aren't really familiar with, I wasn't sure if the book would engage them, but I was wrong. Wild Thing (my 5 year-old son) LOVES math, so the idea that this book was a book about math excited him. I think he also liked seeing a teacher in a book that was an African-American man, since his dad (who is African-American and Latino teaches filmmaking and digital arts two days a week at Wild Thing's charter school).
Another surprise for me was how well this book engaged my early reader. Many of the words in the book are words Wild Thing is learning to read: yellow, red, gray, green, so he and I enjoyed reading the book together as I read most of the words, and he read the words that he knew. Plus, the math focus of the book had him spouting addition facts to me, which was fun.
I always notice that my sons, who are part of a very multicultural family, always get extra excited about books that include children and adults that look like the family and friends they have. For this reason, I love being a part of Multicultural Children's Book Day, which is how we discovered this fun book!

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women's basketball team will amp up to take on Queens University of Charlotte in a SAC competition on Wednesday (Jan. 8) in the Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium. A live video webcast of the game will be available at www.cokercobras.com.
In their first meeting of the season, Tanesha Stenson hit a buzzer beater to lift the Cobras to a 66-64 win over the Royals. Stenson led all scorers in that game with 21 points.
Coker will be relying on the offensive power of Stenson again for the upcoming showdown against Queens, as she leads the team with 15.8 points per game. Junior guard Hailey Yohn will also be expected to make a big offensive impact as the second leading scorer on the team with 11.5 points per game.
Defensively, Coker will be looking for a strong post presence from junior and senior forwards Priscilla Fenty and Jessica Cohen. Fenty and Cohen average 6.5 and 6.3 rebounds per game, respectively.
In their most recent competition, Queens is coming off a 70-57 win over Mars Hill. The Royals are led by Shonice Pettaway and Nikia Squire, who average 17.1 and 13.1 points per game, respectively.
Game time is set for 6:00 p.m., followed by the men's game at 8:00. Tickets for Wednesday's game can be purchased at the door for $5 dollars for adults, $3 dollars for students, and free to all Coker students, faculty, and staff. Wednesday is also Trinity-Byrnes night. All Trinity-Byrnes students, faculty and staff will receive free admission to the game.

Denver — Greetings from Denver, home of Mitt Romney endorser/ex-Broncos quarterback John Elway….and where Comrade Marinucci and I are here covering the first debate between Romney and Prez Obama.
While we await for the Opening Zinger, let's take a minute to talk about how much money is being dropped in this campaign. Thanks, in part to the Citizens United Court decision that opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate, union and individual spending, Colorado is, uh, flooded with TV ads.
From the Sunlight Foundation, the nonpartisan group that tracks money in politics:
It's difficult to track all expenditures by outside groups in the presidential race here because the campaigns are not required to report state-by-state breakdowns to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). However, according to Sunlight's Political Ad Sleuth (a public version will be out soon), ad buys reported over the past week that major Colorado Denver stations filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are dominated by the Obama campaign and organizations supporting the president: Priorities USA, the super PAC supporting Obama; and the League of Conservation Voters, which is running this ad criticizing Romney for his stance on wind power.
Sunlight's raw numbers, through Sept. 18:
Obama campaign — $4.6 million for 5,732 spots
Romney campaign — $1.4 million for 1,596 spots
Top spending super PACs:
Priorities USA Action — $1.9 million
American Crossroads — $1.2 million
Americans for Prosperity — $951,000
Restore Our Future — $411,625
Activists with Avaaz's Elections not Auctions Campaign were camped outside of the debate site today to make their point. And of course, SFChronicle/SFGate.com's Shaky Hand Productions was there to capture the moment. This may be as close as we get to Romney and Obama today….and no, there's nothing quite as humiliating as interviewing a man wearing a giant puppet head:

I haven't decided at this time. Running the blog alone is more than I can do with the other demands in my life and to be honest my heart just isn't in it anymore.
A huge thank you to all the faithful readers who have hung with the blog over the three years now that it's been around. When I first started this, I didn't know if anyone would ever see it. Now it's global, averaging 10,000 hits a month even when I'm not posting new information. I've met some wonderful people because of the blog and I count many of you among my treasured friends.
The email and twitter for the blog will remain active. Thanks again! Hope 2012 brings fabulous things to all of you!

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Fire Department and Bread Loaf Corp. architects have put the last major touches on the design of a renovated and expanded Seymour Street fire station that will be put to the voters at Town Meeting Day in March as part of a $4.8 million bond issue.
The most dramatic design change, influenced by local residents and members of the Middlebury Design Advisory Committee, is the relocation of the new elevator shaft from the building's exterior to its interior.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department's quest to upgrade its two fire stations passed two major hurdles early this week, as the town's development review board gave a thumbs-up to the $4.875 million plan and the selectboard set Sept. 27 as the first of two community-wide votes on the project.
The project, if ultimately approved by voters on Town Meeting Day, would add 8,100 square feet of space onto the southern end of the Seymour Street fire station, in the form of a single-story, four-bay addition.
MIDDLEBURY — Officials planning a major makeover of Middlebury Fire Department facilities have shaved more than $400,000 from the most recent $5.2 million estimate for the project.
That savings is derived in part from eliminating a proposed paved driveway on the southern side of the site that would have extended from Seymour Street to parking at the rear of the station.

Ex-News: Recent developments regarding the 31/953/NP
In every newsletter you will find an actual overview of standards relating to explosion safety.
In this issue we publish the 31/953/NP, the future IEC 60079-32-2.
31/953/NP (NP = New Work Proposal)
Future IEC 60079-32-2 Ed. 1.0: Explosive atmospheres – Part 32-2: Electrostatic hazards – Tests
Scope of this standard
This part of IEC 60079 describes test methods about the equipment, product and process properties necessary to avoid ignition and electrostatic shock hazards arising from static electricity. It can be used in a risk assessment of electrostatic hazards or for the preparation of product family or dedicated product standards for electrical or non-electrical machines or equipment.
The purpose of this standard is to provide standard test methods used for the control of static electricity, such as surface resistance, earth leakage resistance, powder resistance, liquid conductivity, capacitance and evaluation of the incendivity of provoked discharges. If the test methods cannot be applied for any reason, alternative approaches can be applied under the condition that at least the same level of safety is achieved.
Target date for this IS/TS is 2014.

I've used two different colors taffeta. The size I've cut my rectangles is 2 1/3 by 3 1/2 inches or 6 by 9 centimeters – ratio 1 to 1,5 .Place both pieces together with right sides of fabric facing.
Sew around all sides, leaving an opening on one of the short sides. My butterfly is so small, that I left the whole side open.It looks like a little baggy thing. I've clipped the corners and turned it around. Pulled all corners and ironed.Iron the opening seam allowance (1/4 in – 6mm) toward the inside and top stitch at 1mm from the edge.
Iron the rectangle. If you're using a thin sheer fabric, it"s a good idea to add a fusible interfacing before cutting the rectangles, so it makes crisp creases. Next, fold in two (meet the short sides) and then one more time in two, again the short sides meet.
Make a fold, bringing the upper fold corner to the center, like shown on the picture.
Repeat the same with the second fold corner and you should have a house shape.
If needed, pin the folds. Iron each fold.Here's the house!
Now take one of the center folds in the bottom middle and fold a triangle inward.Like this^
Do the same with the second corner. Anyway, open the triangle fold just made and stretch it toward the center of "roof" of the house shape.Open the second fold too and pin to hold. The taffeta didn't take well my pins – you could probably see the holes in the fabric.
This is the back of the butterfly at this stage.Fold the center triangle downwards and pin.
Now take your butterfly to the machine and make a seam right through the middle between the wings. I'm using an embroidery thread for the whole project here, but chose white , so you can see it. It would be better to use a matching color or a complementing one.
I made another seam under the bottom wings to hold them in place.I'm using a double pointed flower stem for the antennae. Sew the butterfly to a hair clip. The hair clip I'm using has 3 holes in the base. That's all!

Subject: Re: Kim tevis cup
Hi Bill and HH members, Montana and I arrived back to a barn full of banners and balloons and cake and carrots. Thank you all for your support and good wishes it really means alot. I thought about why I was lucky enough to be at Tevis as I rode along those 100 miles and I know it's because I'm able to train on our trail system here in Maple Ridge.I had many inquiries about my horse and how we train and I explained about the dedicated group at home who work so hard to maintain our wonderful trail system and the opportunity it gives us to ride through rivers, up and down mountains, rocky technical trail and canter along nicely groomed paths. It was truly a ride of a lifetime and I feel so lucky to have a great horse and friends like all of you. See you on the trail!!! Kim Hofmarks
