Recipe from Lori Johnson of Sweetwater, Tenn.
1 bag frozen, skinless, chicken tenerloins
Olive oil
2 t. chopped garlic
Seasoned Salt
Garlic Pepper
McCormick's Citrus Grill Seasoning
1/2 a lime
1/2 a lemon
2 gala apples, chopped
1/2 med. white onion, chopped
1 large bunch, large, ripe, green grapes - sliced in half, lengthwise
1 small package sliced almonds
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained well and patted dry
Kraft Real Mayo Sour Cream, optional
1. Drizzle Olive Oil in large skillet. Add chicken, frozen or thawed (if thawed, I cut into bite sized pieces first). Season both sides of chicken with seasoned salt, garlic pepper and citrus grill.
2. While chicken is cooking, squeeze lime and lemon over each side. When cooked through, remove from heat and lay on paper towel lined plate.
3. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and put in large mixing bowl. Add apples, onion, grapes, almonds, and oranges (no need to chop oranges, they will fall apart as mixing).
4. Add mayo and sour cream a little at a time until desired consistency. (May also use vanilla yogurt for a healthier option). Stir in almonds
*Note - the oranges add a great flavor, but they do make for a slighly runnier salad as they hold water. I also will sometimes squeeze a slight amount of lime into the salad, which gives great flavor, but also makes for a thinner consistency dressing
5. Serve as salad, in a wrap, on great bread for sandwiches.
Yield: 8-10 Servings
Comments: What makes this salad unique is the way the chicken is cooked and flavored.

Silver has been on the ropes which is creating incredible buying opportunities in companies that are producing excellent results despite the silver price environment. Besides contrarian buying, the other silver investment case is that with a shortage of quality silver assets growing with drilling, companies with significant resources will become acquisition targets. One company that is proving it fits both these investment cases is, SilverCrest Metals (TSX-V: SIL) (OTCQX: SVCMF).
It is a simple story only because of the quality of the company and its management; it has experienced management, a consolidated land package, an initial high grade resource to be announced in Q1 18, impressive metallurgy and potential for becoming a district scale operation. The current silver price is the only thing working against this company, despite this the company's objective is to do it again; to move its key asset towards production.
Silvercrest Metals was originally spun out of the $154 million CDN deal that saw First Majestic (TSX: FR) acquire the predecessor company for the Santa Elena silver mine. Prior to the sale, SilverCrest demonstrated the ability to bring on low-cost O/P production followed by an expansion into a profitable underground mine. Santa Elena is currently First Majestic's key producer
Prior to the sale of the original SilverCrest, the SIL team consolidated a past-producing district (Las Chispas) in Sonora, Mexico, and is the first company to pursue modern exploration. SilverCrest is the first company to drill-test the Las Chispas district and has completed ~28,500 metres of a 35,000 metres drilling program over two phases.
Silver Crest's Phase II exploration program is anticipated to be approximately 29,000 metres, of which 25,000 metres has been drilled to-date. Combined with the company's Phase I Exploration Program of 6,500 metres in 2016, the Company has drilled a total estimated 35,000 metres in 141 holes covering a cumulative vein strike length of approximately 3.5 kilometres out of 12 kilometres defined to date from various veins.
The current phase is exploring nine of the 19 known epithermal veins on the property with efforts focused on four of these veins to be incorporated into SilverCrest's maiden resource estimate anticipated in Q1 2018 based on the 35,000 metres of drilling. The Company anticipates completing its expanded Phase II Exploration Program by mid-January which will include drilling a further 4,000 to 6,000 metres in the district, primarily on the Babicanora extension.
Recent drilling demonstrates that the Las Chispas project has potential for bonanza Ag/Au grades including the intercepts of 1.9 m grading 8,800 g/t AgEq. The recent drilling has now extended the strike length to 1,000m on the Babicanora vein, with more assays still pending. This phase of drilling will work towards the company's upcoming maiden resource that is expected in the new year of 2018.
If one were to do some rough calculations, the maiden resource could look like 40-50 mill AgEq oz with an average grade of 400-500 gpt AgEq (uncut and undiluted). The lion share of the resource will come from the Babicanora vein. Before the company's most recent drilling results, Babicanora alone had these oz: 600m long x 175m high x 3.6m wide x 2.6 density with an avg. grade of 483 gpt AgEq. that is roughly 15 mill oz. However, with the recent drilling, the resource could increase this rough estimate.
The Las Chispas district has already produced 100 MMoz Ag (at 1,700 g/t) and 200 Koz Au (15 g/t) from a series of historic narrow vein operations. The past production demonstrates they are mineable and there is plenty of geological data and 11.5 km of underground infrastructure for ongoing exploration and development. To date, SIL has re-opened and gained access to about 10km of the 11.5 km underground workings.
The team at SilverCrest brought a low-capex mine into production (Santa Elena) in the same district hosting Las Chispas. The initial ramp-up in 2011 came in under budget (<$20 MM) and grades aligned to the mine plan. Santa Elena has been a key producer for First Majestic.
A company with this impressive track record and resource, purchasing shares of SilverCrest is a steal with share prices at year lows. In addition to the discount the price of silver is providing, SilverCrest has a maiden resource that will come out in the near term which provides another compelling event that will create growth in the company.
When silver prices rise and larger mining companies are looking to grow production, junior miners like SilverCrest are primed and ready to meet that demand. Now is the time to start picking up positions in near term production silver companies because they are on sale. SilverCrest is one company that stands out.

It Will Be Solved in the Walking (Bruce Epperly)
We began our Lenten Journey a week ago with Ash Wednesday. This is a season of reflection and preparation, and many persons focus in on their relationship with God and neighbor by embracing spiritual practices. Bruce Epperly, a regular contributor to Ponderings on a Faith Journey, returns during this Lenten season to offer guidance for the journey. Today he brings to us a word about the spiritual value of walking, making use of reflections on a Martin Sheen movie. Take a read, offer your thoughts, take a walk. As for me, I enjoy getting out in the neighborhood for a walk, but don't discipline myself enough to do this as I should. Bruce has encouraged me to get moving!
It Will be Solved in the Walking:
Reflections on Martin Sheen's "The Way" and the Lenten Spiritual Journey
Bruce G. Epperly
I am a walker. Every morning at sunrise, I walk a few miles and most nights I hit the trail for a few more. My best ideas for books, sermons, and blogs come while I'm wearing out shoe leather in my neighborhood or hiking the paths near our home. Wherever I travel, I bring my walking shoes and hit the trails – whether in Manhattan, Fort Worth, Milwaukee, or Montreal – in search of adventures, with my eyes open to the ever-changing world. I fear God's nearness on my ambulatory adventures.
I came upon the Emilio Estevez-Martin Sheen movie The Way purely by accident as I was surfing the cable channels a few weeks ago. It intrigued me because it was about walking, self-discovery, and adventures along the Camino de Santiago, the Way of James the Disciple, a five hundred mile pathway which crosses the Pyrenees along the border of France and Spain and then meanders across Spain toward the ocean.
Put briefly, the film describes the unexpected spiritual journey of an American physician who finds his way in walking the Camino, following the death of his son from an accident on the first leg of his pilgrimage. Like other journey stories, Tom finds his way spiritually as he wanders the Camino, completing his son's journey, spreading the ashes of his son throughout the journey.
Walking is a spiritual practice, whether our pilgrimages are on a famous path such as the Appalachian Trail or the Camino or in your own neighborhood. The spiritual advice, "solvitur ambulando," reminds us that when our bodies move, our spirits move as well. All things flow and new insights flow as we encounter new data and experience inspiration flowing through our muscles, lungs, and brain cells.
Walking reflects the nature of the universe – movement, novelty, innovation, new possibilities even while traversing the same pathway. Processive in approach, we never walk the same path twice. As Heraclitus, the philosopher of movement proclaimed, no one can step in the same waters twice. An upstart student added: you can't even step in the same waters once! Each step brings new experiences and new ways to look at old things.
Walking opens us to new possibilities and liberates us from old ways of thinking. I have often joked that staff and church board meetings should be held while people are walking, rather than when people are sitting in fixed positions. When we are in immobile positions, our ideas often remain fixed and we become intransigent in holding our viewpoints. When we move, especially as we address potentially divisive issues, we tend to more fluid in holding our positions and more open to finding alternative solutions to otherwise polarizing issues.
In the biblical tradition, God is on the move. The Israelites discover their identity as a people on a forty year pilgrimage. Jesus takes a walk in the wilderness to claim his vocation as revealer, prophet, healer, and savior. Jesus' ministry was almost always on the road, going from place to place, faithfully responding to human need in novel and unexpected ways.
Lent is an opportunity to become a spirit-walker, creating your spiritual "songlines," like the aboriginal peoples as you open to divine insight on the walk of life. Each sight on your walk can illuminate the world and your own spiritual adventure.
I have a number of walking practices: Often I use my walk as an opportunity for intercessory prayer, opening to God's energy within my life and sharing that same healing energy with others. At other times, I simply open my eyes and let them graze on whatever I see – taking in the world in its wonder and beauty. Still at other times, I begin my walk with a seed idea and then let the seeds sprout in words and images. When I conclude my walk, words bubble as sentences and chapters. Great ideas like an ever-flowing stream come to me effortlessly.
On his Camino journey, Tom discovers a sense of meaning and is able to come to terms with his son's life and find healing in their relationship. He finds his way, and discovers an open future beyond his grief. He discovers the difference between "the life we live and the life we choose." Walking inspires choice and choice leads to unexpected energies and possibilities in living out our vocation. In our walking, we also discover a moveable sanctuary filled with insight and possibility to match the challenges of our ever-changing world.
Bruce Epperly is a theologian, spiritual guide, pastor, and author of twenty two books, including Process Theology: A Guide to the Perplexed, Holy Adventure: 41 Days of Audacious Living, Philippians: An Interactive Bible Study, and The Center is Everywhere: Celtic Spirituality for the Postmodern Age. His most recent text is Emerging Process:Adventurous Theology for a Missional Church. He may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com for lectures, workshops, and retreats.

The largest container shipping line in the world, A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S, announced that it is cutting 19 ships from Asia-Europe trade lanes as demand falls and expenses rise.
Bloomberg reported Friday that Copenhagen-based Maersk is permanently eliminating its AE5 service and its eight vessels. Its AE9 route, with 11 ships, will not sail again until early December. Maersk, which cut 9% of capacity in February, thus brings the total cut for the year to 21%.
London-based ship broker ICAP said in the report that the drop in demand from Europe thanks to the debt crisis caused Asian container rates to drop below the break-even point. In a statement, Maersk said that with continuing weakness in the economy, volumes could fall 3% for 2012 as a whole, and as a result the company might remove more ships and cut sailing speeds to further manage capacity.
"There is currently no need for the number of ships sailing," said Vincent Clerc in the report. Clerc, Maersk's chief trade and marketing officer, added that the company will take steps to adjust to declining demand "without reducing our market position."
The ships on the Maersk Line AE5 service can each carry up to 6,500 standard 20-foot containers of TEUs (20-foot equivalent unit). The ships that sail the AE9 route have a capacity of 8,000 TEUs.
Although A.P. Moeller-Maersk stock has gained 7.3% so far in 2012, it was down 0.9% around midday in Copenhagen. The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, which serves as a measure of rates for goods leaving Shanghai—the busiest port in China—also dropped Friday, losing 1.1% and hitting its lowest level since March 23.

Ahead of December 21, which marks the conclusion of the 5,125-year "Long Count" Mayan calendar, panic buying of candles and essentials has been reported in China and Russia, along with an explosion in sales of survival shelters in America. In France believers were preparing to converge on a mountain where they believe aliens will rescue them.
The precise manner of Armageddon remains vague, ranging from a catastrophic celestial collision between Earth and the mythical planet Nibiru, also known as Planet X, a disastrous crash with a comet, or the annihilation of civilisation by a giant solar storm.
[…] In America Ron Hubbard, a manufacturer of hi-tech underground survival shelters, has seen his business explode.
[…] In the French Pyrenees the mayor of Bugarach, population 179, has attempted to prevent pandemonium by banning UFO watchers and light aircraft from the flat topped mount Pic de Bugarach.
[…] Russia saw people in Omutninsk, in Kirov region, rushing to buy kerosene and supplies after a newspaper article, supposedly written by a Tibetan monk, confirmed the end of the world.
[…] Some in China are taking the prospect of Armageddon seriously with panic buying of candles reported in Sichuan province.

Help our local farms survive
To the editor:
I want to encourage your readers to support Question 3 on the November ballot.
Question 3 asks voters to approve the issuance of $5 million in support of the Land for Maine's Future Program. The Legislature has voted its approval. Now it is up to the voters to keep this program alive.
The local project first in line to receive funds through this program is Rivard's pick-your-own blueberry farm on Blanchard Road in Springvale. The family's next generation wants to keep the farm intact and producing local food. The family needs public funding to make their hopes work. Their short-term goals include expanding the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables offered. Their long-term goal is to achieve financial stability for the farm.
Please support the Land for Maine's Future program on Nov. 6 to help our local farms survive.

Tuttle deserves your vote
To the editor:
Given the number of years that John Tuttle has served the people of Sanford and York County, it would be difficult to enumerate the number and kinds of service that he has rendered both in Sanford and Augusta. However, we would like to mention a few.
For those of us who appreciate that there is finally a national veterans' cemetery in Southern Maine, we all have to thank John, a veteran himself, for sponsoring the original legislation. We know of a number of families who have had loved ones already interred there in Springvale.
John has also been a friend to Camp Waban and was recognized in 2009 as Legislator of the Year by the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council. This followed his citation for service to the disabled by the Maine Ambulance Association in 2006.
The reason for John's continued support through the years has been his accessibility to the voters. He is always there when citizens need a voice and a problem-solver for them.
However, one of John's strongest assets in 2012, we feel, is his stature in Augusta, where he has a reputation for both legislative knowledge and experience. He has forged many contacts with people on both sides of the political aisle. At a time when national right-wing groups have been taking control over the state of Maine's political agenda, it is imperative that we elect a known, but not partisan, Democrat to the State Senate. His unique strengths are needed in order to give a proper balance to our state's legislature.
We treasure our friendship with John and his family and strongly endorse his candidacy for election to the State Senate in the 3rd Maine Senatorial District. York County needs his voice and stature in Augusta. He deserves your vote.

They need a place to sit
To the editor:
Recently, during one of my daily walks, I passed by housing tower on Main Street and saw some residents sitting out front as they usually do on nice days. I was surprised to notice that the benches they are usually sitting on had been removed and they were now sitting on the wall.
"What do you think of our new seating plan?" one of them asked me.
Of course I asked what happened to the benches and was told, "Somebody was having a beer while sitting there, and there was a complaint, and the next thing we knew, workers were removing not only our benches but our picnic tables out back as well."
I expressed sympathy for such a dilemma and discussed my dismay at the lack of consideration for the numerous residents in such a large building. Then I moved on.
One of the residents mentioned that the stone wall made for a bit solid of a seat, and it's not hard to agree with that, considering most residents are older and more brittle. It is no doubt a problem if someone is drinking outside of this kind of public building; people must respect the ordinance if they are aware of it and, if not, they should have someone to keep them up to date.
If there is a violation — and this not in any way an attempt to be dismissive of it — but perhaps there should be a less all-consuming response to be directed solely at the violator. There are a lot of elderly people residing at the tower and being confined to this small spot makes it most imperative that they get some outside exposure on a bright day, so they may enjoy the splendor of streetgoers passing by while basking in the sun and getting a breath of fresh air to boot. To live without most of their seating areas and picnic tables in the back is surely restrictive, to say the least. It's not like they have verandas or huge balconies on which to sit.
It is a sad day indeed for the everyday freedom of relaxation and sunshine for these elderly occupants.
John Flynn
Stop all the 'class' talk
To the editor:
Here it is again, election time. I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do my mind wanders during ads, especially political ads.
All of a sudden, two words caught my attention. Politicians are worried about the "middle class."
What does that mean to me and a lot of senior citizens who live on Social Security — are we low class?
How about the people who make big bucks — you know, the politicians, the bankers, and so on. Are they high class?
People came to America to get away from being put in "classes." We know that some people make a lot of money, and we know some cannot make ends meet, but it doesn't make us low class. Find a better way of saying we earn less.
Do you classify our troops who fight for our country and come home to no jobs and are homeless as low class? Do you call drug dealers and mobsters with lots of money by dishonest gains as high class? Get rid of "class" and keep us out of the Dark Ages.
Listen to the words of Abraham Lincoln, a great Republican President:
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

In Support of Bailey
To the editor:
While much of our attention is focused on the presidential election, there is also a very important contest on the ballot here in York County. Incumbent Judge of Probate Donna M. Bailey is being challenged by former Judge of Probate Robert M.A. Nadeau.
In a sense, this is a repeat of the 2008 Democratic primary, when Judge Bailey ousted Judge Nadeau for the Democratic nod for this position.
In the four years that she has served as Judge of Probate, Donna Bailey has saved expense to the York County taxpayers by lowering the overall budget of the Probate Court by eliminating the need to pay a judge from another county to hear cases in York County, and by other savings.
Judge Bailey has worked to protect the County's most vulnerable citizens by adding language to routine orders, requiring fiduciaries to always put the best interest of their ward first. She has eliminated the uncertainty and stress caused by a floating trial list, ensuring that cases are heard quickly and on a specific date. She instituted the policy of checking all applicants for guardianship or adoption in the National Sex Offenders List. She has not flinched from incarcerating those not living up to their responsibilities to pay child support.
I urge each of your readers to look closely at the candidates, make an informed decision, and vote to re-elect Judge of Probate Donna Bailey.

Thank you for supporting suicide-prevention event
To the editor:
Thank-you to everyone who participated in and/or sponsored the first-ever "Out of The Darkness" walk for suicide prevention in Sanford on Saturday, Sept. 29. We raised a total of $3,400, which far exceeded our expectations for our first year.
A special thank-you goes out to Mrs. Farrell and her high school participants for all of their help that day.
Thank-you to our sponsors — your donations are greatly appreciated: Southern Maine Medical Center, Goodall Hospital, Hannaford, Marc Motors, Aroma Joe's, Autumn Green Funeral Home, Solari Salon, North Berwick Auto, Magnolias, and the Sanford News.

Walk Chairpersons
A Bad Sign
To the editor:
It seems to me that a while back certain Sanford town councilors were all upset to think that during election time people were putting up campaign signs on the town flower bed at the corner of Main and Washington streets. It seemed they thought they were ugly and downgrading to the area. They wanted to put into place an ordinance against having the signs there.
Well, now that election time is rolling around and they didn't get their way, the signs are now all over the flower bed. I also noticed that there are signs there for the people that didn't want them in the first place.
If it was so bad in the first place, why are those people not doing what they wanted? There are a lot of other places they could put up their signs. Maybe they wouldn't be seen as well somewhere else.
Seems that some people in the town of Sanford talk with a forked tongue or that anything goes in an election. I know I will not vote for anyone who says one thing and then does another.
God help the town of Sanford. Make sure you get out and vote.

The remarkable beauty of the Ritz-Carlton's Dana Point location is what sets this luxury resort apart. Situated high atop a 150-foot bluff, the four-story Mediterranean-style hotel, set on 18 acres of well-tended grounds, commands a view that is breathtaking; it literally stops you in your tracks.
The finest place to watch the sun set over the Pacific? The winning vote can't help but go to the private balcony of an ocean-view suite at this Ritz-Carlton.
Lift an iced glass brimful of a perfect Martini and gaze out over palm trees to the ocean. When the sun dips below the horizon and the cocktail has been drained, you may descend to the Ritz Dining Room, where a light dinner or a lavish multicourse feast await your pleasure. Later the wood-paneled library beckons: savor a snifter of Hine Triomphe and a fragrant Zino Mouton-Cadet No. 4 while watching the lights twinkle along the shoreline.
On clear days, Catalina Island can be easily seen from your hotel window. Beginning in January, you might spot a gray whale on its annual winter migration to Mexico. And rain or shine, you'll watch wetsuit-clad surfers knifing through the waves on Salt Creek Beach directly below the hotel's terraced gardens.
The Laguna Ritz celebrated its tenth anniversary in 1994. All 393 guest rooms have been redecorated in luxuriant fabrics and soft pastel colors. Accommodations range from fine to palatial; the hotel's three Crown Suites are located on corners and feature wood-burning fireplaces and private dining rooms. Guests on the exclusive Club Floor, accessible from the elevator with a special key, have a private salon where drinks are served and five buffet-meal presentations, ranging from breakfast to after-dinner cordials, chocolates and petits fours, are offered daily.
True to its heritage, the Ritz has a richly appointed formal dining room, but there's no haughty attitude here; instead, efforts are made to accommodate guests with a variety of tastes and cravings. Dining Room Chef de Cuisine Fabrice Canelle offers an imaginative daily food-and-wine-pairing menu of five or seven courses, along with a fixed price menu of two courses ($38), three courses ($46) and up to seven courses ($67).
The resort's Club Grill is decorated in English hunt-club style, accented with fine eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paintings of hunting and racing scenes. A trio and vocalist perform nightly. Grilled meats, including a buffalo steak with violet mustard sauce ($30), are popular entrées on the à la carte menu.
The hotel's Terrace Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, opens onto an attractive trellised patio where meals are served throughout the year, weather permitting (in Southern California, it usually does). The Terrace has a wide-ranging menu. Even at dinner, you can munch happily on a fat club sandwich with homemade potato chips ($10) or banquet more formally on fresh oysters ($11) and a miso-blackened whole Louisiana catfish ($18), complemented by a bottle of Babcock Vineyards 1991 Sauvignon Blanc, 11 Oaks Ranch ($40).
Cigars may be enjoyed on the resort's outdoor terraces and in the library, where afternoon tea, evening cocktails and after-dinner drinks are served. The library's selection of Sherries, Ports, cordials and digestifs includes Dow Vintage Port 1963 ($20 a glass), Blandy's 1954 Bual Madeira ($13) and Delamain Très Vénérable Cognac ($30). A limited array of cigars is offered in the library; the gift shop's humidor has a wider selection.
The hotel's superb 30-page wine list, developed by Master Sommelier Emmanuel Kemiji, director of Food and Beverage Julien Carralero and Beverage Supervisor Ted Chappell, is both broad and deep. (Six bottlings of Krug Champagne, including the Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs 1979, $350. Sixteen dessert wines, including Chateau Nairac 1981, $30. Two Pinot Gris from Oregon. A half dozen California Sangioveses.)
The hotel hosts an annual World of Food and Wines festival on a weekend in mid-November. The resort is equally well-known as the site of an annual Gentlemen's Smoker, an event launched in 1989 by former general manager and cigar maven Henry Schielein. This $350-per-person dinner features an elaborate menu accompanied by well-chosen wines and, of course, an array of fine cigars and digestifs.
The seventh annual Gentlemen's Smoker will be held on March 23. But don't despair if you're booked; on April 19, the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain will hold its first international Smoker, in conjunction with Cigar Aficionado magazine, at all the Ritz-Carltons around the world, including Laguna. Mark your calendar.

Martinek Agrees To One-Year Dealby Staff Writer / New York Islanders
The New York Islanders announced today that Radek Martinek has agreed to terms on a one-year deal.
Martinek, 36, has appeared in 460 career National Hockey League games, including 453 with the Islanders. A native of Havlicko Brod, Czech Republic, Martinek has 22 goals and 82 assists for 104 career points. He's also appeared in nine career playoff games, all with the Islanders.
The Islanders selected Martinek in the eighth round (228th overall) of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. The 6'2, 210-pound defenseman spent the 2011-12 season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but was limited to seven games due to injury.
Martinek played in four games this season in the Czech league with Ceske Budejovice, the same club with which he spent the 2004-05 lockout season and five professional campaigns from 1996-2001 prior to joining the Islanders. On the international stage, Martinek has represented the Czech Republic at three World Championships (2000, 2001, 2011).

A former Morenci resident has published a book of essays and thoughts.
Morenci native Susan (Whitehouse) Wiley recently wrote a book called "Counting Today: A Thought-filled Journey."
The 118-page book includes 28 brief essays about everyday life. Each essay concludes with a section of Ideas to Ponder.
Illustrations include photographs taken by Susie's brother, Bill Whitehouse.
Wiley, a 1962 Morenci High School graduate, says in the introduction that her stories cover a range of topics.
"One day I'm head over heels relishing the natural world, and the next day I'm on some flimsy soapbox."
Just like a person's thoughts flit around from subject to subject, her essays are in no particular order either, she writes. She suggests that readers might approach the book in the same manner and avoid a cover-to-cover reading.
When Wiley writes about a relative taking home some old chairs from her parents' basement, she ends the essay by wondering how she can "capture the memory of ancestors in ways that will be passed on to future generations."
A visit to Morenci's Labor Day Bridge Walk makes her appreciate the spirit of a small town, and causes her to ponder what activities she might participate in for community-building.
The book collects the thoughts and ponderings of days well lived—counting today.
• A copy of "Counting Today" is available at Stair Public Library.

- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
- 1
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped into small bowl
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 5 medium-size firm Anjou pears (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled, halved, cored, each half cut into 4 wedges
- 1
- Whipped cream
Recipe Preparation
Roll out pastry on lightly floured surface to 10-inch square. Trim edges, making 10-inch-diameter round; pierce round all over with fork. Slide onto rimless baking sheet. Cover and chill pastry while preparing pears or up to 1 day.
Fill large skillet with ice and water; set aside. Stir sugar, 1/4 cup water, and corn syrup in heavy 10-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup is dark amber color, occasionally swirling and brushing down sides of skillet with wet pastry brush, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in butter, then vanilla-bean seeds and ginger (caramel will bubble up). Arrange pears, cut side down and overlapping, in circle in skillet, placing a few around edge, if necessary. Place skillet over medium heat. Cook until pears are tender and syrup thickens enough to coat spoon, about 23 minutes. Place hot skillet atop ice in large skillet to cool pear mixture quickly. DO AHEAD Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place puff pastry round atop pear mixture in skillet; tuck in edges around pears. Bake tart until pastry is puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Cool tart completely in pan at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Rewarm tart in oven 8 minutes. Place platter atop skillet. Using oven mitts, hold skillet and platter together and turn over, releasing tart. Serve tart with whipped cream.

Five stars? I don't f*****g think so
On a bus near you, a DONALD CLARKEquote is selling'Charlie Casanova. The problem? He didn't like the film and he really doesn't like the ads
WHEN I'M ASKED to list my favourite films, I rarely fail to include Alexander Mackendrick's great Sweet Smell of Success. The picture, released in 1957, features Burt Lancaster as the malevolent journalist all hacks secretly wish to become. JJ Hunsecker can destroy careers with a few carefully placed syllables. Politicians quake when he raises an eyebrow. More to the current point, he has his name written on the side of all the newspaper's vans. When Tony Curtis, playing a dishonest publicist named Sidney Falco, stops for a cup of coffee in Times Square, the street behind him swells with automotive advertisements for Hunsecker's column.
This week, I finally got a sense of how it must feel to be JJ. Are you reading this in Dublin? Then glance out of the window and, likely as not, you'll see my name emblazoned on a passing bus. They're everywhere. Ten per cent of the fleet appears to be wearing the new Clarke livery. Why am I not happy? The vehicles are carrying commercials for a new Irish film, Charlie Casanova. Apparently Donald Clarke of The Irish Times thinks that Terry McMahon's social satire is "a pretty jaw-dropping piece of work". Mine is the only quote on the advertisement. The lettering is not small. It looks as if, like Pauline Kael standing up for Bonnie and Clyde, I am going out of my way to promote a brave new experimental film.
Here's the problem. I would rather drink dilute caustic soda then sit through Charlie Casanova again. The quote is drawn from my report on the 2011 Galway Film Fleadh. After admitting that jaws may drop, I went on to say that the acting was satisfactory and that (a bit generous, this) the "tech-work is up to scratch". The paragraph finished: "As the existentially troubled antihero engages with this contemporary Hades, large lumps of quasi-philosophic waffle squash the preposterous voiceover into puzzling indigestibility."
It would be wrong to say that my notice was a total evisceration. One is inclined to go easy on low-budget films when they emerge blinking into the festival sunlight. But it is clear that I didn't like the blasted thing and that "jaw-dropping" was not intended as a recommendation.
We will, for two reasons, refrain from detailing too closely the abundant deficiencies of Charlie Casanova. Firstly, it is polite to delay such rabbit punching until the week of release. Secondly, given the film's marketing to date, it looks as if there is no comment, however savage, that it is not prepared to regard as a recommendation. In the "reviews" section of the film's website, it extracts the phrase "borders on audience abuse" from Variety's unremittingly negative notice. If I were to say that the film plays like the deranged, over-reaching ramblings of a glue sniffer who has read the jacket blurbs – but no more – of too many Albert Camus novels, there would be every chance of that phrase appearing prominently in the publicity material. So I'll say something else instead.
This business of pulling quotes out of context for promotional purpose has been going on for aeons. My favourite example of the art involves another Irish film. A little over a decade ago, an unprepossessing little picture called The Most Fertile Man in Ireland made it into British cinemas. Mark Kermode, standing in for Philip French at the Observer, was not in the least impressed. "Sadly, The Most Fertile Man in Ireland is every bit as hilarious as its title suggests," Kermode wrote. When the film emerged on DVD the sentence was quoted on the box. But there was a tiny, significant omission. The word "sadly" was nowhere to be seen.
Kermode has granted that, in this case, you really have to admire the marketing wonks' chutzpah. Whereas the misuse of my quote in Busgate involved a degree of creative ambiguity, the distributors of Most Fertile Man were implying Kermode's phrase meant precisely the opposite of what he intended.
THE LEGAL POSITIONis slippery. When I mentioned the bus business to fellow critics, few of whom were any more fond of Charlie Casanova, they made comical side-clutching gestures and fell theatrically from their seats. After pulling himself together, one then commented: "That has to be illegal." A phone call to The Irish Times's lawyers confirmed that such quote-mining could conceivably involve an infringement of the journalist's copyright. Misrepresenting a critic for financial gain is not considered "fair usage".
It hardly needs to be said (relax, Terry) that, even if I were on sounder legal ground, I would not consider suing. My main emotion is amusement. Still, it is only fair to hold the distributors to account. Element Pictures, which handles the film in this country, explained that its partner Studio Canal, the French-based company that acquired the film for the UK and Ireland, was responsible for plastering my name on all those blameless buses. The company's London office offered a bland response: "The marketing assets for Charlie Casanova were created following close collaboration with the producer/director. The quote was directly taken from an Irish Times article on July 12th, 2011."
Though the law may be ambiguous, there is a degree of moral dubiousness to such Machiavellian jiggery-pokery. When excerpting a misleading quote, the distributors are exploiting the consumer's trusting nature. We are grown-ups. You don't have to be Umberto Eco to grasp the uncertain nature of language. Of course, "jaw-dropping" can imply both delight and horror. If, however, one encounters that phrase in promotional material one, quite reasonably, assumes it was intended as a compliment.
Yet these sorts of games are played all the time. In recent years the movie trailer has become increasingly unreliable. A recent promo for Ralph Fiennes's Coriolanus portrayed the film as an unremitting action picture loaded with explosions and trademark grimacing from the fearsome Gerard Butler. Few excerpts of dialogue are longer than six words. Why, it's almost as if they don't want you to know the film is an adaptation of a play by William Shakespeare.
Distributors frequently issue trailers of foreign-language pictures that conceal the product's origins. You could sit through the promotional slots for The Lives of Others or the original version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo without getting any sense that the dialogue was, respectively, in German and Swedish. Most promos for Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd did an admirable job of concealing the fact that the film was a musical.
Why do we put up with it? Well, moviegoers may be trusting, but few of them are complete idiots. Surprised by iambic pentameter, Swedish verbs or Steven Sondheim melodies, average punters sigh and remark, once again, upon the dubious nature of marketing. No sane person really expects that yogurt to reverse heart disease or that unguent to turn you into Rachel Weisz.
Let us return to Sweet Smell of Success. In it, Hunsecker muses upon the treacherous aspects of Sidney Falco's business. "Mr Falco, whom I did not invite to sit at this table tonight, is a hungry press agent, and fully up to all the tricks of his very slimy trade," JJ remarks. The columnist is a little harsh. But we have to allow a degree of artistic licence. Don't we? As we've seen, that's the way of the world.
David who? The Manning who wasn't there
All sensible folk remain suspicious of single-word quotes on film reviews. "Fantastic" could well be drawn from a sentence that reads: "The fantastic idiocy of this project stuns the senses."
But we can assume the quoted critic exists. Right? Not necessarily. In 2005 a US judge forced Sony Studios to fork out $1.5 million when it was found that quotes on the firm's advertising material had been fabricated.
It seems that five years earlier a marketing executive at the company had invented a fictitious critic named David Manning. The brazen nature of the fraud still defies belief. Credited to the Ridgefield Press, one quote, when discussing A Knight's Tale, praised Heath Ledger (pictured above) as "this year's hottest new star". Sounds plausible. More suspiciously, the mysterious Manning described The Animal, a Rob Schneider atrocity, as "another winner". Manning's quotes also appeared on promotional material for The Patriot and Vertical Limit. The fraud was eventually uncovered by a reporter for Newsweek magazine. The Ridgefield Press, a Connecticut paper, certainly existed, but its proprietors had never heard of David Manning.
After settling out of court, Sony agreed to offer a $5 refund to any fan who felt cheated (and could be bothered to make a claim). In the months that followed, Manning became a sort of virtual celebrity. Harry Shearer "interviewed" him on his public-radio show. The admirable Bryan Cranston, then appearing in Malcolm in the Middle, jokingly quoted the imaginary writer in an advertisement aimed at Emmy voters. You wonder why the marketing people bothered. A Knight's Tale was actually a cracking film. They can quote me on that.

Smoke fills building at business complex in Sherrill
SHERRILL >> A little before 5 p.m. Thursday, fire crews responded to a report of smoke coming from a building at the business complex in the 100-block of East Seneca Street, which includes a number of tenants such as Noble Woodshavings, Sherrill Manufacturing and AquaVita Farms.
When Sherrill-Kenwood, Vernon, Vernon Center, Oneida Castle and Verona fire departments arrived on-site, heavy smoke had filled the building and was coming from various points at the roofline at Noble Woodshavings, a business that produces wood shavings to use as bedding for farm animals.
No flames or injuries were reported in the incident.
By 6 p.m. the smoke was under control and fire crews were working to determine the cause.
Sherrill-Kenwood Fire Department Assistant Chief Doug Ray said it was suspected that some wood shavings might have caught fire from nearby machinery; however, a final determination has not yet been made.

This third report in our multi-part series on office construction compares current construction activity with previous cycles, and explores how office usage trends help determine where development occurs.
Key Takeaways:
- Rental rates are approaching replacement costs in a growing number of markets, particularly in CBDs. But new construction does not pencil out, based on rent and construction costs alone, in many markets.
- This suggests that development is being driven by other factors, such as a shortage of large blocks, tenant requirements for more efficient and adaptable space, the emergence of new submarkets and local economic incentives.
- As replacement costs increase at a faster pace than market rents, development activity is expected to cool.

For Immediate Release
Patricia Kiernan Johnson;
January 8, 2008
New York, NY -- OPERA America, the national service organization for opera, in partnership with U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, announces the 2008 Recipients of the National Opera Trustee Recognition Award to recognize opera company board members for their exemplary leadership, support and audience building efforts on behalf of their respective opera companies and the communities they serve.
The honorees are Ms. Betty W. Healey, Opera Birmingham; Ms. Sally S. Levy, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis; Ms. Jane A. Robinson, Florida Grand Opera; and Mr. G. Whitney Smith, Fort Worth Opera.
OPERA America's commitment to recognizing excellence in governance stems from a core belief that the strength of an opera company is directly linked to the quality of governance demonstrated by its board members. Through this new annual Program, the service of extraordinary trustees whose efforts help to ensure the health of opera companies and the art form's availability for future generations are acknowledged and celebrated.
By highlighting the accomplishments of individual board members nationally, the annual National Opera Trustee Recognition Program assists in strengthening the relationships between opera companies and their trustees, highlights the tenets of good governance and celebrates models of trustee and volunteer excellence.
"Since trustees play a critical role in developing their local opera company as a cultural pillar in their community, it is fitting that we join OPERA America to honor 'the best of the best,'" said Frances Aldrich Sevilla-Sacasa, president, U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management. "As a leading national sponsor of arts and culture programs that bolster and enrich the communities in which we live and work, we are pleased to sponsor this noble initiative."
"Trust is an essential element in any relationship," stated Marc A. Scorca, President & CEO of OPERA America. "Board members of opera companies hold the institution in trust for the community and establish credibility for the organization. We are delighted to be joined by U. S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management in presenting this award to recognize the significant role that board members play in the ongoing success and viability of opera."
All trustees of OPERA America member companies are eligible to be nominated for the honor; companies submit only one nomination. An adjudication committee oversees the selection process choosing one honoree from each of four different budget levels. Those selected are saluted at an award dinner attended by fellow opera company trustees, board members of OPERA America, U.S. Trust/Bank of America leadership and performing artists. The inaugural Program event, including a reception, dinner, award presentation and brief recital will take place in New York City on January 26, 2008.
Each of the 2008 honorees represents a significant range of accomplishments and a deep commitment and generosity to promoting opera in their community. The following profiles illustrate a small percentage that all recipients have done for their respective opera companies.
In 1998, when Opera Birmingham was poised for the growth necessary to long-term stability, and the need for a professional arts administrator to serve as general director was recognized, Betty W. Healey stepped forward and challenged a friend to join her in funding the first year's salary and benefits. With a general director in place, the company's community profile soared, leading to increased ticket sales and contributed income. With more than thirty year's involvement with the company, including underwriting an entire production each year since 1998, Ms. Healey is Opera Birmingham's single most generous donor. Without her support, "there would not be a professional opera company in Birmingham today," says John D. Jones, General Director.
Sally S. Levy has been an integral member of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis since the company's founding in 1976. Ms. Levy's vision and generosity have taken OTSL to a new level of professional development and artistic excellence. Her leadership gift for OTSL's Building for Opera campaign launched the effort to build a new 25,000 square-foot facility to consolidate the company's administrative, rehearsal and community outreach activities. The Sally S. Levy Opera Center opened in April 2006 and now serves as a model for other companies.
President of the Board of Directors of Florida Grand Opera for the past four years, Jane A. Robinson has devoted her efforts to strengthening the company's board leadership amidst the challenging competition in Miami's fast growing cultural climate. Under her leadership, the Opera celebrated its 65th Anniversary Season, followed by the Triumphal Weekend of events in October, 2006 when it launched its 66th Season at the new Carnival Center for the Performing Arts – beginning a new performance era for the Company in the superb 2,400-seat Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House
Mr. G. Whitney Smith has served Fort Worth Opera in many leadership capacities since 1998, and is currently chair of the company's strategic planning committee. During a period of extreme financial strain and low morale at the company, Mr. Smith assumed the presidency of the company's board, streamlining the Executive Committee, reinvigorating the Board membership, and cultivating relationships with major foundations and corporations. Mr. Smith's leadership and vision played a crucial role in bringing Fort Worth Opera from the brink of financial ruin to the highly-regarded regional opera company it is today.
Guidelines for the 2009 National Opera Trustee Recognition Program and invitation to participate will be mailed to all professional company members in June 2008.

With a wide range of artistic and administrative services in a purpose-built facility, the Opera Center is dedicated to increasing the level of excellence, creativity and effectiveness across the field.
OPERA America's long tradition of supporting and nurturing the creation and development of new works led to the formation of
The Opera Fund
, a growing endowment which allows OPERA America to make a direct impact on the ongoing creation and presentation of new opera and music-theater works. Since its inception, OPERA America has made grants of nearly $11 million to assist companies with the expenses associated with the creation and development of new works.
