If you've been following the HSLDA-World Net Daily campaign against the German view of homeschooling as socially dangerous deviation from the public interest, you might want to read this for context:
The Lines a German Won't Cross
. . .In most daily interactions, the Germans do not need anyone to enforce their rules. They follow them — and remind one another to follow them through impromptu lectures that are often heated — because they are raised to know that is what they are supposed to do.
What the Germans call Ordnung . . . is the unwritten road map of one society's concerted effort to permanently banish the instability and violence that have marked its history.
. . .For self-reliant Americans, the German devotion to all manner of precise rules and regulations is impressive and stifling in equal measures.
So I can easily see why Germany and home education don't mix. What I don't understand so easily, is why the same conservative politics so angry about enforced norms and government rules in Germany, want more duty and rules and uniforms and law enforcement here in America.
Gun-toting conservative white women for example, who think of themselves as homeschooling and tea party redux rebels, constitutional freedom fighters in a persecuted minority AND as conservers of one nation under only one tradition, a culture of hierarchy, standards, definitions, rules and obedience to authority, crime and punishment, child-beating — even torture if the official rules can somehow stretch to justify it.
Take one of the "fightin' mad white women" I mentioned in that earlier post, who poses with a handgun for her blog's homepage and has decided to model nude for meat-eating against PETA. [ed. note — the latter was an April Fool's joke according to comments below]
Suddenly she sounds more like obedient German rule-followers and social norm enforcers, as she mocks the experimental movement of "consensual living" as dangerous social deviance. [ed. note — NOT an April Fool's joke] Her world view is that children must shut up and obey blindly in all matters, or else be punished repeatedly to show 'em who's boss:
See Raising a Whole New Generation of Spoiled, Rotten Brats.
This self-proclaimed parenting expert doesn't seem to have any actual children of her own; she's about 24 years old and still maturing herself from what I can read, with plenty of room for it! . . .wonder if she packs a personal taser as well as that handgun, when she's working with toddlers and teens here in my state, with that Germanic attitude?
And I can't help but wonder what the American parents of those children whatever their personal politics, will think of Miss Cassy's nude ad campaign for a political cause — do you think it's more likely they'll decide she wasn't punished enough as a child, or perhaps wasn't respected enough and helped to make her own better decisions with more enlightened parental thinking than brute force to help her?

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve delivered its interest rates decision. While Powell lowered interest rates as he had predicted, investors believe that he did not do well enough. His statement that the rate cut was just a "mid-cycle adjustment to policy" disappointed investors who expected the bank to start a more aggressive cycle of easing. Therefore, this decision led to a sharp decline in US stocks and a sharp rise on the US dollar. This decision will be the highlight of the day as global investors react.
The Bank of England will conclude its two-day meeting today. Unlike the Fed which slashed interest rates, the BOE is expected to leave rates unchanged. Traders will want to see whether there is a change in the policy. In the most recent decision, the bank said that it would likely hike interest rates if the country leaves the EU with a deal.
As the month starts, investors will receive important PMI data from around the world. This data is a measure on how well the manufacturing sector is doing. A PMI number that is below 50 is usually a sign that the economy is easing while a PMI number of above 50 is a sign that the manufacturing sector is doing well. Earlier today, data from China showed that the manufacturing PMI for July was slightly better than expected. The PMI of 49.9 was better than the previous 49.4. In Australia, the AIG manufacturing PMI data rose to 51.3, which was better than the consensus estimate of 49.4. In Japan, the PMI declined to 49.4 from the previous 49.6.
In Sweden, investors expect the manufacturing PMI to decline to 50.5 from the previous 52.0. In Poland, the PMI is expected to decline to 48.0 while in Switzerland, the PMI is expected to decline from 47.7 to 46.5. For Germany, the biggest economy in Europe, the PMI is expected to remain unchanged at 43.1 while in Italy, it is expected to decline slightly from 48.4 to 48.0. In the United Kingdom, the PMI is expected to decline from 48.0 to 47.7.
A day after the Fed disappointed the market, investors will receive a number of key data from the U.S. The ISM manufacturing PMI is expected to increase from 51.7 to 52.0. The ISM manufacturing employment is expected to decline from 54.5 to 53.4. The construction spending is expected to increase slightly by 0.5% from the previous decline of -0.2%. The US will also release the jobless claims. Initial claims are expected to increase by 212k while the continuing claims are expected to increase to 1.678M. This data will come a day before the country is expected to release the official employment data.

Momentum spectra of charged pions over nearly full rapidity coverage from target to beam rapidity have been measured in the 0-5% most central Au+Au collisions in the beam energy range from 2 to 8 AGeV by the E895 Experiment. Using a thermal parameterization to fit the transverse mass spectra, rapidity density distributions are extracted. The observed spectra are compared with predictions from the RQMD v2.3 cascade model and also to a thermal model including longitudinal flow. The total 4$\pi$ yields of the charged pions are used to infer an initial state entropy produced in the collisions.
Charged kaon production has been measured in Si+Al and Si+Au collisions at 14.6 A GeV/c, and Au+Au collisions at 11.1 A GeV/c by Experiments 859 and 866 (the E--802 Collaboration) at the BNL AGS. Invariant transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions for both K+ and K- are presented. The centrality dependence of rapidity-integrated kaon yields is studied. Strangeness enhancement is observed as an increase in the slope of the kaon yield with the total number of participants as well as the yield per participant. The enhancement starts with peripheral Si+Al and Si+Au collisions (relative to N+N) and appears to saturate for a moderate number of participating nucleons in Si+Au collisions. It is also observed to increase slowly with centrality in Au+Au collisions, to a level in the most central Au+Au collisions that is greater than that found in central Si+A collisions. The enhancement factor for $K^+$ production are 3.0 +-0.2(stat.) +-0.4(syst.) and 4.0 +-0.3(stat.) +-0.5(syst.), respectively, for the most central 7% Si+Au collisions and the most central 4% Au+Au collisions relative to N+N at the correponding beam energy.
The production of W-pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.2 pb^-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays into leptons or hadrons. Combining all final states and assuming Standard Model branching fractions, the total W-pair cross section is measured to be 15.71 +- 0.34 (stat) +- 0.18 (syst) pb. Using also the W-pair data samples collected by ALEPH at lower centre-of-mass energies, the decay branching fraction of the W boson into hadrons is measured to be BR (W > hadrons) = 66.97 +- 0.65 (stat) +- 0.32 (syst) %, allowing a determination of the CKM matrix element |V(cs)|= 0.951 +- 0.030 (stat) +- 0.015 (syst).
The ZZ production cross section is measured from a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 452 pb(-')(1), collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies from 192 to 209 GeV. Individual cross sections, ext racted at six centre-of-mass energies, are found to be in agreement with Standard Model calculations. The results are used to set limits on anomalous neutral gauge couplings.
The production of W+W- pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 182.7 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 57 pb-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays into leptons or hadrons. Under Standard Model assumptions for the W-pair production and decay, the W-pair cross section is measured to be 15.57+-0.62(stat.)+-0.29(syst.) pb. Using also the W-pair data samples collected by ALEPH at lower centre-of-mass energies, the decay branching ratio of the W boson into hadrons is measured to be B(W->hadrons)= 68.93+-1.21(stat.)+-0.51(syst.)%, allowing a determination of the CKM matrix element |Vcs|= 1.043 +- 0.058(stat.) +- 0.026(syst.). The agreement of the cross sections with the Standard Model prediction allows a limit to be set on the W decay rate to undetectable final states.

This is the link for my August interview with Randy Maugans of Off Planet Radio.
I talk about The Dark Side of Cupid book, research on my work with experiencers of paranormal relationship interference.
In my new book, The Dark Side of Cupid: Love Affairs, The Supernatural and Energy Vampirism, Nonviolent communication is suggested as a primary strategy to help resolve and recover from anomalous relationship issues that arise as a result of complicated "interferences" within the love relationship itself. Compassionate communication skills are merely the first step in resolving anomalous issues, and when practiced regularly, can create profound shifts in our own understanding, empathy and connection with the other individual.
I deliberately focused on the relationship and spirituality issues of anomalous phenomena because I believe it will take an entirely different strategy than the ones I'm witnessing in the "truth seeking community" for the real, lasting, powerful changes and solutions we seek. We don't need any more details of what the aliens are doing, what craft are flying in the sky, endless scientific debates and what underground bases employ the secret government-in-bed-with-the-bad aliens, etc., etc., etc.
Non-violent communication practice also helps the communicators to use parts of themselves that accelerate emotional intelligence and can deepen ones divine, soul connection. As this divine connection deepens, empathy and compassion arise as a natural part of our being. This important step ALSO expands our total awareness in other areas of our lives, which beforehand may have been mysterious, or disconnected from other levels of understanding if we primarily rely on rational levels of intelligence.
Now, having said that, what I have observed in the UFO/Paranormal/Conspiracy and "Disclosure" oriented, truth seeking community is a basic unmet need for inner connection and empathy. Many of these individuals–whether they know it or not–are experiencers of anomalous phenomena such as alien visitations and paranormal experiences, harassment, etc. As both a scientist and counselor, I see that a connect between the logical rational mind and heart intelligence is a necessary step to understanding and ultimately recovering from anomalous trauma. This includes the basic problem of non disclosure of anomalous phenomena interacting with humanity. (UFOS, alien/ET visitations, secret government mind control abuse, etc.)
Most persons in our western patriarchal culture–especially those of the more rational mindsets, continually "stay in their heads" assuming some scientific theory or logical explanation and proof will solve the problem. To make matters worse, these rationalists assume emotional intelligence, compassionate communication and spirituality issues are of less value or not even "the issue" of the problems they face. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What I have observed in this well-meaning, truth seeking community, are habitual behaviors and beliefs which are part of the problem.( I'm right, you're wrong, ego based compulsive behaviors, criticism and blame, etc.) We need understanding, compassion, wisdom and self-empowerment to deal with the real issues. And yes, they are complicated. Devaluation of the intuitive, emotional, and spiritual aspect of our being, while assuming the superiority of scientific rationalism–will only cause more misunderstanding, harm and suffering in the long run. When there is a disconnect with the empathic and divine aspect of our being, we may tend toward entertainment seeking, unnecessary drama and endless scientific and rational debates, resulting in a cyclic process that goes nowhere but more frustration.
It is my experience that in order for the wisdom of true insight to arise, one must be in the presence of compassion. Compassion and wisdom are two sides of the same coin and exist together in divine awareness. These attributes can develop by doing healing work with yourself and with others, until true insight dawns. The practice of Non-violent communication and compassionate communication skills is a first step towards the raising of ones consciousness. This is a very powerful practice I encourage anyone to learn.
Perhaps by this point in the article I have lost most "male readers". I've heard it said amongst some Native American medicine women that in this era, it will be women who must heal themselves first, then the women must work to help heal the men. Only then will harmony and balance be restored. Oh–and that includes the "Disclosure" issue.
Here are a couple of videos of Marshall Rosenburg, founder of Non-violent communication. The first video clip is shorter for an introduction into Non-violent communication. The second video are questions and answers about this communication practice.

By Dr. Corrado Malanga
This is a recent translation of a 2010 article by Dr.Corrado Malanga. This is only part of the entire article, and more is to come in the future. This article discusses the relevance of myth and archetypal beings such as Adam Kadmon, also known as "The Primordial Man" within the alien abduction phenomena. This figure has arisen in alien abduction testimonies as a kind of Father god figure who has both a beloved and malevolent aspect. He is the head heirarchial figure who, according to Dr. Corrado Malanga, created the aliens who are interacting with humanity, in search of capturing our souls. This being may be what the ancient Gnostics called the Demiurge or Yaltabaoth. In earlier articles the mention of "Archons" has been proposed as being the same power behind alien abductions, specifically "aliens as transdimensional parasites" theory.
Could the Primordial Man figure be the Father God of Abrahamic religions? Is this the figure who our soul returns to after our earthly sourjourn? And if we are to become free of the cycle of rebirth, as Buddhist philosophy teaches, is this the figure who we must bypass to be free of the Matrix of earthly karmic life cycles?
This article focuses on the parasitic nature of Horus-Ra as an "Archontic" interdimensional being discovered within the milab and alien abduction experience. The notation as Horus-Ra was chosen due to the being's similar appearance to the ancient Egyptian hawk headed being, as well as taking a snake-like form. A follow up interview with Maarit, a Scandinavian milab, is featured as the key witness of a most fascinating, bizarre and disturbing account that involves elements of alien and milab abductions, rituals, genetic manipulation, mind control and outright spiritual warfare.
The article is divided into several categories:
Ancient Gnostic View of Archons as described in tractates of the Nag Hammadi Library
Optogenetics, Alien Genetic Manipulation, Mitochondrial DNA, and the importance of the coherence of the human triad of mind, spirit and soul
Human Clones of Abductees and the Black Box Soul Recycling Technology
Ritual Elements in Milab Experiences
Maarit's Experience with the Horus-Ra Archon Parasite
Horus-Ra as a Huge Snake and Birdman
Mind Controlled Ops and Torture to Comply with the Nefarious NWO Agenda
Sketches and Maarit's drawings of the Horus-Ra Snake, Emblems and Draco DNA
Maarit, a Scandinavian MILAB abductee I interviewed back in April 2011 (http://evelorgen.com/wp/articles/military-abduction-milabs-and-reptilians/interview-with-maarit-a-scandinavian-milab) reports more recent alien abduction related experiences that contain Continue reading

The NBA 2K series is back and bigger and slightly better than ever, but don't expect a massive overhaul in terms of gameplay.
The old credo, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," has never been more true when it comes to the "NBA 2K" series. Although the visuals are improved, with thousands of new noticeable animations and smoother-looking character models, awesome hair and cloth textures, as well as more individual tattoos and mouth guards, the core gameplay in "NBA 2K16" is still relatively the same. Luckily for 2K Sports, even in its semi-improved state, "NBA 2K16" still a fantastic game and one that is better than any of its competitors.
However, it takes a little bit more time to grow on you than its predecessors for the simple fact that it feels like a game you've played before, because well, you kind of have. The core gameplay hasn't changed much at all and it's both a positive and a detriment. On one hand, it would have been nice to see new gameplay elements added, but truth be told, "NBA 2K15" was one of the best games of 2014, so why change much? Because of this, those who haven't played the game on a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One won't mind and will fall in love with the series, while series aficionados will feel a bit jipped, at first.

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week I will make a list of 10 books, authors or other bookish things surrounding a certain topic. This week, it's actually all about books that could use more or less of 'X'. But I accidentally already did that topic last week, because I was mistaken about the date. So I'm doing last week's prompt: visuals, this week.
So, I'm talking about 10 coloring books I want to own. I own a little one now, and don't use it as often. But I'd like a big range of options one day, and good coloring tools, to really relax in the evening. So here are 10 coloring books I really want!
Harry Potter: Magical Creatures Colouring Book // It's Harry Potter. And creatures. Do you really need more information than that? I don't think so.
A Game of Thrones: Coloring Book // Just wondering, are the death-scenes also in here? But it's been a while since I've seen/read anything GoT-related, because I haven't seen the latest season, so I think this could be a fun one.
Harry Potter: the Colouring Book // I think this was the first HP colouring book? In case you're wondering, I'm using colouring and coloring depending on the book. HP is British, so u it is. Again, it's HP. I need it.
Tolkien's World: A Colouring Book // Like HP, I need everything Tolkien-related. This could be so beautiful though!
Harry Poter: Magical Places & Characters Colouring Book // YES, MORE HP.
The Fairy Tale Colouring Book (Rachel Cloyne) // This is beautiful. And they're all about fairy tales.
Enchanted Forest Colouring Book // PRETTY. SO PRETTY.
Summer Nights Coloring Book // I'm pretty sure this was originally published under a Swedish name? Not sure. But Google it! The images are stunning.
Secret Garden Colouring Book // Again, so pretty. I need it.
The Tattoo Colouring Book // I don't have any tattoos, but I've been wanting one or two for a while now. I think this would be a pretty inspiring colouring book (even though I already kind of know what I want to get).
Like I said, this is actually last week's topic. But, I'm a mess and mixed it up with this week's topic -which I posted last week. Do you have any of these coloring books? Which ones do you have? Which coloring tools would you recommend?

Richard Strauss: the Art Nouveau composer
Version française...
Surrounded by music since his earliest childhood, Richard Strauss began composing very young. Between 1885
and 1911, he established his reputation as both a composer and a conductor, starting with the favourable
impression made by his first orchestral pieces to the huge success of Der Rosenkavalier, his opera which is most
often staged by major companies. This period coincides with the Art Nouveau movement, which spread
throughout Europe in architecture and the decorative arts, fostering the use of elaborate ornamentation and curved
shapes, traits that may easily be associated with Strauss's music. The composer favoured rich textures in
orchestration and dense contrapuntal constructions. His detractors did not refrain from labelling his orchestrations
as "decadent" and his counterpoint as "forced". Although quite a bit of his music is still frowned upon today by
some people, the accusations were undoubtedly exaggerated.
It is true that before Strauss no composer had demanded such daring virtuosity from an orchestra as he did in Don
Juan. It is also true that he expected the role of Salome to be performed by "a sixteen-year old with the voice of a
Brünnhilde". On the other hand, Strauss gave us passages of sublime introspection such as those in the tone
poems Also sprach Zarathustra and Tod und Verklärung.
With his tone poems (a term he preferred to symphonic poems), Richard Strauss chose to follow in the footsteps
of Liszt, whose orchestral works he conducted as often as possible, thus contributing greatly to their integration
into the standard repertoire. Strauss began conducting in his native Bavaria, then pursued his career across Europe
and, finally, in New York, where he conducted his own Symphonia domestica on March 21, 1904. Not bad for
a musician who had never attended a conservatory or an academy of music! His father, Franz Strauss, was the
principal horn of the Royal Orchestra of Munich and had allowed him, since childhood, to attend the rehearsals of
the orchestra and join it as soon as he could play the violin well enough. Young Strauss did not take long to
display his exceptional talent, and colleagues from the orchestra promptly offered to contribute to his musical
education in both performance and composition. Strauss was therefore trained "the old-fashioned way", that is,
from "master to disciple", as had been the practice at the time of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Franz Strauss
made sure his son was not "contaminated" by the new music - read Wagner - and only allowed him to study up to
the music of Mendelssohn's time.
But the forbidden fruit is always tempting to the young, and when, at seventeen, Richard Strauss discovered the
score of Tristan und Isolde, it made such an impression on him that he decided that he would dedicate his career
to opera. Consequently, after his brilliant "tone poem period", Strauss composed two operas, Guntram and
Feuersnot, before making a sensation in 1905 with Salome, based on Oscar Wilde's play. The work caused a
scandal among the conservative elite but enjoyed great success with the public, who wanted novelty. The score
was full of harmonic innovations, which were surpassed only in his next opera, the product of his first
collaboration with the German poet Hugo von Hoffmanstahl. Elektra did not achieve nearly as big a success as
Salome, but opera houses everywhere were eager to produce the work. Its harmonic audacities made Ernest
Newman describe the music as 'abominably ugly.' Fortunately, Elektra is now part of the standard repertoire of
major opera companies - even if only recently so.
While those two operas dealt daringly with feminine sexual power and insanity, Strauss retreated, so to speak, to
the coziness of a Viennese eighteenth century salon as the setting for the conventional love story staged in his next
opus, Der Rosenkavalier. The music, while brilliant, does not include the harmonic audacities of his two
previous works and puzzled the defenders of "Strauss, the master of the avant-garde". Though still rich and
colourful, the orchestration, however, returned to a more cautious sound, closer to post-romantic conventions.
If one should wonder why Strauss apparently "regressed" musically, it must be remembered that he was very
conscious of his place in history. He considered himself the legitimate successor of Wagner and Liszt, and owed
his notoriety to the very world that had created him, namely, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He never
really felt comfortable in Germany and Austria, which had been "weakened" after the tragic losses of the First
World War. He preferred to cling to the image of a more glorious era represented chiefly by the emperors
Franz-Joseph and Wilhelm II. Strauss belonged to the aristocracy that had called him a genius very early, and he
might have no longer felt part of his time as he witnessed the emergence of new music, such as Schönberg's
twelve-tone revolution or Stravinsky's primitivism. After 1914, Strauss never again experienced the masssive
success of Rosenkavalier, and he began to write more sporadically. Among his later works, one should mention
Metamorphosen, written in 1945 as a tribute to German musical life, and the remarkable Vier letzte Lieder, his
true artistic testament.

The meeting was called to order by Larry Smith, President, at 10:00 A.M.
Directors in attendance in person: McKnight, Beneke, Ames, Faliero, Foster, Freeman, Johnson and Potts.
Staff in attendance: Brown, Gwozdo, Mahowald and Wyatt
Upon motion made by Beneke and seconded by Freeman, the minutes of June 2016 were approved. Motion passed unanimously.
Louise Wyatt
Financial reports for June 2016 and the LLC companies were distributed to all board members. Road and Security's income was up compared to June 2015 due to collection of assessments on four homes and eight lots. Operating expenses for Road Maintenance on average were less than in June of 2015. Security expenses were consistent with last year's costs. Administrative expenses were up due to bad debt recovery.
Smith moved to accept the financial report. Beneke seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Jason Brown
Three thunderstorms were reported, resulting in 14 trees down. Some clogged culverts and a few wash outs were reported. All trees were removed. All culverts were cleaned, and the washouts and roads were graded without incident.
- The majority of the scattered brush and logs that were left by French Broad Electric along the road banks and ditches that are mowed by RMS have been picked up and hauled off by RMS staff. This had to be done in order to mow the ditches and banks.
- All ditch, bank and intersection mowing has been completed, and the next mowing is scheduled for mid-August.
- The roadway grading of the gravel roads has been more successful than in June due to measurable precipitation. There are still some rough spots, but overall, the roads are in good shape. RMS will continue to grade roads where needed and when the weather permits.
- The matching-gravel program is still available and encouraged. A 16-ton load of gravel is $360.00. A load will spread approximately 9 feet wide by 200 feet long at a 2-inch depth. WLRMS will match up to 10 loads on any one road in Wolf Laurel, but RMS does not do driveways.
- The brush piles along Buckhouse and Buckeye Roads are still scheduled to be burnt in place by RMS, ECFD and the NCFS when weather will permit scheduling.
- The metal structure of the bridge on Village Lane has been sanded and painted, and it should be fine for the next four years.
- The trees, brush, ditches, culverts and roadway along Upper Lookout Drive, "one of our newly acquired roadways," are being re-worked. These tasks should be completed by next week.
- One culvert along Upper Lookout, and one culvert on Upper Haw have been installed. All culverts and ditch lines that we know of, which were clogged, have been cleaned since the last rains.
- The Vermeer 5040 mower has been sent to auction and will hopefully be auctioned off on July 23, 2016. I have a $3,000.00 reserve on it.
- The new Ferri flail mower approved in the last meeting was ordered, delivered, installed and put to work. It is working great.
- The CAT 416 backhoe downrigger was sent to CAT and repaired. Upon installation, we found a factory defect which is now being repaired. Guards were ordered for the downriggers to prevent future damage to the downriggers.
- The CAT 277 skid steer is still having travel hydraulic issues. The CAT service technician has been out three times to try and resolve these issues with no resolution as of yet.
- The jacks and hitches on three of our four trailers are being replaced due to safety reasons.
- Protection guards have been installed on both tractors to protect the glass enclosures from flying debris from the mower.
- A set of front tires have been installed on the green Chevrolet.
- A 1500 gallon water skid will be purchased and installed on the blue International truck to be used for compaction issues on the gravel roads.
- Two water pumps have been purchased, one electric and one motorized, to be used for the drainage project and to fill the water skid.
- Shop fans and a metal cutting saw have been purchased for the shop, and they will be inventoried.
- A significant amount of hand and air tools have been purchased for the shop at an auction for a very reasonable price and will be inventoried. "I will begin to take what is left of my personal tools back to my shop. These tools have been on loan to Wolf Laurel for the past six years."
- All other equipment has been serviced and is in good running order.
- The 2003 Grey Chevrolet, which has a blown transfer case, frontend issues, brake issues and many hard miles, is in need of replacement. The Roads Committee has advised they would like to see a newer and heavier duty truck take its place along with a snow plow to fit it. I am asking for the Board's approval to buy a new, or slightly used, truck to replace the grey one. (Used will be 20 to 30k, and a new truck will cost in between 40 to 50k.)
Potts stated that a new truck is necessary and endorsed Brown's suggestion that he upgrade from a ¾ ton truck to a 1-ton truck. A discussion then ensued about buying new versus used and the options of leasing a vehicle versus buying new with financing. Foster suggested that the Board authorize Brown to research for purchase of a new or slightly used truck while keeping the Roads Committee abreast of his findings. Potts moved to authorize Brown to search for the right truck. Foster seconded. Motion carried.
RMS Office:
The private water meter has been installed in the flower bed in front of the office and is operational. The front wall of the office has been painted, and I've gotten a verbal quote of 4k, plus materials, which will run approximately another 2k. I am waiting on another quote to paint entire building, but it looks like it will be 5k to 6k either way. The carpet contractor, sent by Lowe's, has either never showed up or hasn't gotten back to me since the last meeting.
The septic "perk" permit for the hotel property adjoining the Cagney's on Spring Valley Drive has been turned in, and I was informed that there will be a two to three week waiting period on the inspector.
Sandy Gwozdo
Even with the July 4th Celebration, the past month has been relatively quiet.
- A returning property owner on Village Lane discovered that his wooden bear had been removed from its post.
- During the week leading up to the 4th, we received numerous reports of gun shots fired, possibly a .22. After eliminating our most likely culprits, Ken was finally able to zero in on the grandsons of a Deer Run property owner shooting bottle rockets.
- Responded to an alarm and siren in Chestnut Village. Notified the caretaker of septic system issues.
- Another report regarding the dog on Phacelia Lane and its owners. Again contacted the property owner.
- Security found people in the Village Club pool after hours and asked them to leave the premises. Reported same to the Village Club director the next day.
- Found and escorted numerous renters and a few guests of property owners to their destination.
- We are following up on reports of an ATV on Unakite and Grouse Thicket.
- Responded to complaints of a large fireworks display on July 4th. Patrol found that a Blue Mountain property owner was competing with the Village Club display.
- Patrol cautioned a camper on the Big Bald summit regarding his campfire. DOS then requested clarification from the USFS of their rules regarding camp fires. We are waiting for a reply.
- To date, the Gate Staff has signed out the Big Bald key 27 times.
- Ken and I met with Russell McIntosh and the Preserve Gateman, Melanie McGalliard yesterday. They have elected to adopt our recommended procedures as it relates to property owners, guests and service providers to Wolf Laurel. As announced at a prior meeting the Preserve Gate will be manned from 7AM to 5PM Monday through Saturday. Our property owners and service providers will be waved through the Preserve Gate when a guard is on duty otherwise they will use the call box to contact the Wolf Laurel Gate. Property owners should continue to call the Wolf Laurel Gate to authorize any guest arriving via the Preserve Gate. These guests will continue to use the call box. We do not know how long the Preserve Gate will be manned.
- Ken Porche responded to reported of a dying deer on Buckeye Road. When Ken arrived on scene he was motioned by the property owner to hurry into the garage. She immediately closed the door. She was very upset and stated that she had been attacked by a deer. It had stomped and snorted and charged her in her driveway. Ken asked about the dying deer. Property owner showed him a fawn wrapped in a blanket in the corner of the garage. She said it had not eaten for three days and had lain in her yard so she brought it into the garage. Ken asked the property owner to open the garage door, intending to carry the fawn back outside. But as soon as the door opened, the dying fawn bolted out, and its very angry mother was right behind as it neared the woods. Ken then conducted a nature class for the property owner.
The Board approved the hiring of Katie Mahowald as a part-time, RMS Office Assistant. She started work on July 7, 2016 and will be answering the phones and providing office support.

- We have received great support from WL POA's "Top of the Bald" for articles and submissions via Rich Ashley, Editor.
Finance Committee
John Beneke
- We recently received an approximate check for $16,000 from the Carolina Water Company for 'tap-on' fees, which the previous developer neglected to collect. Many thanks to Louise Wyatt and the Water Department for their efforts and cooperation. This money will go into one of the LLC accounts.
- We are nearing four years into ownership of the roads, so it may be best to dissolve certain LLC's and merge their assets into WL RMS. Will consult with Foster, other attorneys and past Board members to determine best resolution on this issue.
- Employee compensation is addressed. A 4% annual raise is appropriate. Will review and re-evaluate employee Christmas bonuses. After a discussion, Beneke moved to make a motion. Foster seconded, and the motion carried.
Impact / Usage Fees
John Beneke
- There's been no meeting yet, but the intent is to work with the Security Committee, the Roads Committee and the ARB Board to determine if any impact / usage fees should be included as a part of ARB instead of being separate issues. Security will be responsible for collections and enforcement of these impact / usage fees.
- We need a new approach for fees and guidelines for all commercial vehicles, ideally implemented by January 1, 2017.
- Foster suggested we call them "usage" fees instead of "impact" fees.
- Beneke agreed with Foster, and he equated any impact/usage fees to a building permit or a fishing license.
Legal Committee
Sharon Foster
- Collection Matters
- All collection cases are proceeding smoothly. The Pate litigation has not settled and I have asked David Etheridge to file a motion for summary judgment.
- Violation Enforcement Matters
- I have sent a second letter to the folks with the fire cleanup.
- Policy and Procedure Handbook
- Significant progress on this project.
- Usage Fees
- Working with Impact Fee Committee to finalize a proposal.
- Trademark Issue
- The potential offenders are B. Hicks, who has registered an LLC titled "Wolf Laurel Real Estate" and Steve Powell, whose website advertises Memory Mountain Chapel at Wolf Laurel. Cease and desist letters will go out.
- Foster made a motion to make August the annual Board meeting instead of October. Beneke seconded, and the motion carried.
- We are in preparation of granting an easement to provide two property owners with access to a septic system on the motel property pending a septic permit from Madison County. We will need a legal description and a survey of the motel property. Staunton Norris, a real estate attorney, has been contacted to draw up legal papers, which will divest RMS of any liability after an easement is granted.
- McKnight expressed concern about approaching winter weather in regards to timing of this septic project.
Warren Johnson
All coverage is in order.
Road Maintenance & Equipment
Charlie Potts
- The committee has been working with Brown to finalize an equipment replacement schedule to be presented to the Board at the September 2016 meeting.
- Brown said we have 20 tons of salt on site, which is enough for two snow events. We have contracted for 100 tons of salt. Price has increased from $86/ton to $100/ton.
Rebecca McKnight
No report.
Chuck Freeman
- The ARB Board has approved one driveway improvement application and issued four tree permits. We have one tree application under review.
- Freeman said he was leaving on a good note. Yesterday Bob Super met with a couple who own property on Hamlin Lane. They are planning to build a new home.
Long Range Planning
Larry Smith
Smith stated that he was deferring the appointment of committee members until next month when the Board will elect new officers.
POA Liaison
John Beneke

Old Business
Nominating Committee Report
- Beneke announced the six candidates for the Board of Directors: Tim Carrigan, John DiPetta, Brent McCaghren, Dick Moeller, Mel Poole and Willie Romero.
- Candidate Forum – The forum will be held at the Village Pavilion on Saturday, July 23rd at 10:00 A.M.
- Once again, Jim Hill has agreed to head up the Election Committee. He has developed a marvelous and proven method for counting the ballots, and he is appointing six people to complete this task.
- The votes will be counted on August 18th. New Board Members will be seated on August 19th, and they will elect new Board officers.
- A ballot packet will be mailed out on July 25th to all WL property owners. Seasonal residents wishing to pick up their ballots at the RMS office will need to email or write a note to RMS requesting that RMS hold specified ballots instead of mailing them.
- New candidate announcement and biographies will be posted to the website, and an email will be sent out this afternoon to all WL stakeholders with this information.
New Business
- Commitment of the Gate-to-Gate Project. Beneke deferred to Potts on this issue. RMS requires that more information on road standards on a contractual basis is needed for the Ridgeway Rd project being conducted by Blue Mountain and The Preserve. The road should be completed to the same standards as rest of roads in WL. For the 150 feet of Ridgeway Road owned by RMS (below Puncheon Lane), we cannot make a commitment using our equipment at this time, as we do not have the right equipment, and we are already over-extended.
- Brown said they have shut down Ridgeway Road and started work.
- Foster suggested that all communication with The Preserve should be documented in writing and shared with all Board members.
Audience Comment
- Robert Hicks expressed his frustration over a continued problem with his neighbors' floodlights being on 24/7. Smith assured Hicks that the matter will be investigated.
- Steve McKnight asked if there was any reason to continue ownership of the 150 feet of Ridgeway Road at Chestnut Lane. Brown said we offered to give them the 150 feet, but they wanted us to take the whole road. Potts said that's why he wants every aspect of the project defined before we start work on the 150 feet of road.
- Gwynne Beneke commended the Board for creating various standing committees, and she praised all of the work they are doing to improve communication.
- Willie Romero discussed the intersection of Buck House Rd and May Apple, and he said there is confusion as to the positioning of the stop sign on May Apple. McCaghren agreed that there is confusion about the stop sign's position.
- Beneke thanked Brown for putting in the speed bump on McKinney Gap Rd. The speed bump needs to be painted yellow or white to aware drivers to slow down.
- Mel Poole thanked RMS staff for all efforts to gather WL stakeholders' email addresses in order to conduct recent surveys more efficiently.
Next WLRMS Board meeting is scheduled for August 19, 2016, at 10:00 A.M.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
John Beneke
Secretary / Treasurer

Guantanamo Bay Prison: Keep It Open or Shut It Down?
Defining the Problem
Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, located on a United States naval base in Cuba, is perhaps one of the most famous prisons in the world. In her Encyclopedia Britannica article entitled "Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp," Jeannette L. Nolen explains that, although the United States has been renting the land for the naval base for over one hundred years, the base was only converted into a maximum security prison in January of 2002 after the Islamic extremist terror attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.
In fact, Guantanamo Bay Prison, often abbreviated to Gimo, is famous for its horrific treatment of terrorists held there after 9/11. Often, the detainees held at Guantanamo were tortured for any information they could possibly have on the past and potential future attacks on the United States. Basically, the treatment of detainees was a problem because their treatment violated the Geneva Conventions. According to another Encyclopedia Britannica article called "Geneva Conventions 1864-1977," Malcolm Shaw defines Protocol II of the Geneva Conventions as a human rights law that protects criminals from, "prohibited collective punishment, torture, the taking of hostages, acts of terrorism, slavery, and 'outrages on the personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment, rape, enforced prostitution and any form of indecent assault.'" Still, Nolen explains, the Bush administration claimed ignored the backlash of the torture methods on its detainees because the prison was not on American soil, and therefore, American laws had no legal standing.
However, as details of the prison's detainee treatment emerged over time, the opposition to Guantanamo increased. Many Americans and US government officials called for the prison's closing. However, closing the Guantanamo is not an easy task because there are many problems that come with closing the prison. Some of these issues include; where to put the forty-one remaining prisoners, how to move them, holding trials if they are put on US soil. However, Guantanamo Bay Detention Center should be closed because of the blatant humanitarian violations of the Geneva Conventions that occur there.
Why Guantanamo Bay Detention Center Should Close
One reason Guantanamo Bay Detention Center should be closed is accusations of the prison violating Protocol II of the Geneva Conventions. In her piece, "The United States, International Humanitarian Law, and the Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay," Catherine Moore argues that Guantanamo Bay Detention Center has several violations of the Geneva Conventions. First, she writes that the cells prisoners are held in are, "8×8-foot chain-link metal cages." In fact, Moore writes that detainees spend most of their time in those cells. Detainees are only allowed outside of their small cells to exercise for a short time twice a week. According to Moore, these animal-like holding conditions violate Article 21 of Protocol II in the Geneva Conventions. More specifically, Article 21 states that prisoner should be held in small quarters only if it benefits their health or if there are special circumstances. Overall, Moore's writing clearly shows that officers at Guantanamo Bay did not abide by Geneva Convention regulations.
A second violation of Protocol II of the Geneva Conventions is Guantanamo's use of torture as an interrogation method. In Gregory A. Prince's essay, "A Failure of Moral Imagination: Guantanamo, Torture, the Constitution, and Mormons— An Interview with Brent N. Rushforth," he finds that abusive interrogation methods were certainly used on detainees at the detention camp. In this article, Prince interviews Brent N. Rushforth, a Washington, DC lawyer specializing in white-collar defense litigation, about the basic morality of Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. Rushforth admits that Guantanamo was perfect for housing terrorists because it was a, "legal black hole." That is, there was no clear evidence that American laws and habeas corpus applied to prisoners taken there because the prison was not on American soil. Therefore, theoretically, officers at Guantanamo could torture prisoners with limited to no consequences. Rushforth admitted to horrific treatments such as, "nudity, religious abuse, beatings, and quite graphic sexual abuse." Furthermore, Rushforth goes on to discuss waterboarding, or simulated drowning, which was perhaps the most horrific way to get information of stubborn detainees. All of these methods of abusive and torturous interrogation at Guantanamo Bay show why the prison should be shut down.
More specifically, personal testimonies to the humanitarian rights violations at Guantanamo Bay Detention Center provide compelling evidence of violations of the Geneva Conventions. For example, in her essay called, "Hamdan v Rumsfeld: Reviewing the Geneva Convention Rights of the Unlawful Enemy Combatants Contained at Gitmo," Amy Quimby outlines a 2006 court case specifically dealing with mistreatment of Guantanamo Bay Prison detainee named Salem Ahmed Hamdan. In the United States Supreme Court Hamdan fought for his right of habeas corpus and argued that his detainment at Guantanamo violated Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. The Supreme Court recognized the case and held a trial for Hamdan. As a result, most of the Supreme Court justices agreed that Guantanamo violated the Geneva Conventions. In fact, Quimby writes that in Justice Kennedy's decision reasoning he stated that Common Law 3, "is part of a treaty [that] the United States has ratified and [must be] accepted as binding law." However, on the other side of the argument Justice Scalia's dissenting opinion cites that military necessity was at play at Guantanamo. Overwhelmingly though, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bush Administration's treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay did in fact violate Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. Unfortunately, the decision of the illegal nature of Guantanamo Bay Detention Center was found over ten years ago, but the prison still remains open in 2017.
Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, a United States naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be closed because of its documented violations of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Since the prison's opening in 2002, officials at Guantanamo Bay Detention Center have engaged in illegal treatment of foreign criminals and torturous interrogations. Both of these humanitarian horrors violate an international treaty that the Unites States signed, and therefore needs to adhere to. However, despite the evidence of violations of the Geneva Conventions, QRC article entitled "Closing Guantanamo," says that, "experts are doubtful about the potential for reaching an international consensus on how to deal with the captured nonstate combatants." Thus, despite the illegal activity going on there, closing Guantanamo Bay Detention Center will be nearly impossible in the near future.
Although there has been photographic and written evidence from detainees, not much has been done to close the prison. However, 44th President of the United States Barack Obama, in his 2016 speech at the White House called, "Let's Close the Detention Facility at Guantanamo Bay," attempts to convince Americans of the necessity of closing the prison. President Obama discusses that his attempts to close Guantanamo were halted by partisan issues in Congress. Despite Obama's struggle to actually close the prison, he worked hard to decrease the number of detainees to below 100. Additionally, Obama announces that he and Congress are going, "to find a secure location in the United States to hold remaining detainees." Basically, if he can't actually close the detention center, he wants to relocate as many current detainees as possible during his remaining time in office. Obama's progressive attempts to relocate lasting Guantanamo prisoners is a step forward to closing the detention camp for good.

South West New Forest MCP Update, Issue 1
26 May 2015, Southern Health
So what happens next?
The outcome of the recent visit of the national New Models of Care Team.
This flash report was written by Dr Nigel Watson,
Clinical Lead for the SW New Forest Multi-Speciality Community Provider
In early May the New Models of Care Team conducted a two day visit of our fledgling MCP. A team pf 11 experts assessed our progress, explored our vision of the future and assured themselves that we were able to deliver what we have promised.
I am pleased to say the visit when well, our plans were well received, several streams of work are already underway and we are now seeking additional funding for transformation and also to increase the capacity that is needed to provide more out of hospital care.
We are also looking for investment in technology both to help deliver integrated care and to support more self management.
