Knox Magazine
Spring 2009 -- Volume 93, Issue 1
For nearly 15,000 alumni, Knox College was an important stop on the journey to adulthood. In other words, they have "grown up Knox." Knox Magazine explores what growing up Knox means to the Knox community, from legacy students to members of the fall 2009 entering class to the latest inductees of the Fifty Year Club.
Letters: Read the President's Message, Editor's Note, and letters to the editor.
Meet the Trustee: "Coming from a small high school with limited offerings, I never really had the opportunity to fully explore diverse academic subjects. Knox opened my mind to a variety of academic and social interests," said Gary Jacobson, a first-generation college student from rural Sheffield, Illinois, who is now is now an executive vice president and shareholder in Ricerca Biosciences in Concord, Ohio, and concurrently is principal with General Biotechnology, LLC in Indianapolis.
Growing Up Knox: If anyone truly "grows up Knox," it's a legacy student, who follows a family member to Knox. From longest legacy to the legacy who traveled the farthest to campus, Knox Magazine offers highlights from knox's long history of legacy students.
Keeping Home Close At Knox: Every September, first-year students arrive at Knox to begin their college career, and many bring with them a piece of home to ease their transition to college life. Here are the stories of five students and what they brought with them to help negotiate their first year on campus.
Learning to Learn: A Knox student graduates with a degree in music and goes on to be a doctor -- or majors in physics and becomes a pastor. Why do the lives of so many Knox graduates take such interesting twists and turns? Meet a few alumni whose lives have followed unexpected paths.
Fifty Makes Way for Fiesty: What comes to mind when you think of the Knox-Lombard Fifty Year Club? Knox Magazine asked this question of Cigi Ross '06 and sent her to Homecoming 2008 to find out if her perceptions rang true.
2009 Alumni Achievement Awards: Meet the four winners of the 2009 Alumni Achievement Awards
Flashback: Thanks to all of those Ghetto dwellers who came out of hiding and provided responses to our "Ghetto Rules Old Main" photo, including Tom MacMillan '81, Mark "Stew" Stewart '81, John Baxter '83, and Mark Huddle '81.

NORMAN — EDMOND — The Norman North girls fulfilled the destiny their season had pointed them toward Saturday morrning at Edmond Santa Fe where they claimed the Class 6A state cross country championship, crushing a field that included Norman High in a distant second place and Edmond Memorial a well back third.
Also, Norman North's Ben Barrett led the North boys to a third-place finish by winning an individual state championship, finishing about 10 seconds in front of his nearest challenger. Just as with the girls race, the Tiger boys also finshed a spot back of North, this time in fourth place.
Cross country is scored by adding the places of each team's top five finishers, while the places of each team's last two finishers are dropped. The sum of those places create a final score, and the lowest score wins. Under those parameters, the North girls finsihed with a score of 51, while NHS came in at 118 and Edmond Memorial at 122.
Check the Sunday Transcript for complete coverage fromt the state cross country meet.

The beds and pillows were comfortable.
The air conditioner kept turning off at night and the front desk people claimed that it was not due to an oversensitive motion detector. Comfy bed was wasted since it kept getting hot.The two older gentlemen that work there are not friendly at all while the rest of the staff is great, despite the fact that they all act scared.

I especially liked that it was close to shopping outlet! For us it was ideal because we had a rain week & were able to at least able to shop......It was also quiet as hotels go so I was able to sleep well. Coffee being available 24 hrs. was also a bonus. It was booked full the week we were there & as a result the breakfasts were limited & not replaced well. That aspect was not as good as the previous ones! that aside, all else was good. I plan to continue my stays at the Hampton Inns.
Breakfast not being replenished when depleted by full house. this was pretty much anticipated.More food should have been ordered since this is an advertised perk.

Poor 1.0
It had a bed to sleep in.
No WiFi in room and as told I should have read the fine print. Smoking Rooms had weak reception... Read NONE. Single cup coffee maker for me and my spouse??? Hole in the bathroom door. Overall a bad experience.Not a good experience at all. While my spouse and I only needed a place to sleep this was also a stopping point for 3 days of work/relaxation. After the first night when Police and Ambulances showed up because someone was overdosing in a unit next to us this changed. Every day we loaded the car and literally the only thing we did there was sleep. On the day before checkout my spouse left some wet underwear hanging... This was gone when we came back. Thank God I didn't leave the computers there during the day when we were gone and didn't need them. The most upsetting part was the fact that when we were there we didn't have access to the internet.

I liked the amenities and the location of the Resort.
The beds sucked.. I stay in 4 and 5 star hotels only and for a Ritz the beds sucked, the sheets were not soft... and I always forget that the rate is inexpensive because they charge you mandatory resort fees per night at check out. Needless to say valet is $24 per day. I feel like I am flying on commercial airlines with the nickel and dimming. Just increase the price and make it all inclusive.

Library news and happenings.
I have often written here about the ebooks available through our website, but have seldom mentioned downloadable audiobooks. I check out many ebooks but few audiobooks, probably because I have a short drive to work, the time many listen to audiobooks.
Clearly reading is evolving. Today readers can continue the same story as they toggle between an ebook on their iPad or Kindle, a paperback at home, an eaudiobook in the car or on another mobile device….whatever format fits the setting and mood. And a new word…..this is considered the "transmedia" world.
We still maintain a large collection of the traditional audiobooks but in addition, downloadable eaudiobooks are available through our website. Many titles are available in ebook and eaudio format, some just in one or the other, depending upon the publisher.
Formats are evolving – VHS and cassettes are no longer – but for now, we have audiobooks in both physical and digital formats.
image: Rise
Earlier this year, a survey about library use was sent to a random sample of 2,000 residents within our service area. A very similar survey was also posted on our website. Responses to both formats were similar.
Here's some of what you told us:
Thank you for responding to our survey – we value your input and opinions.
What a downtown weekend it was! All of the library's events were well attended: Art Hop, Friends of KPL sidewalk booksale, First Saturday @ KPL, and the kick-off of summer reading with music and games in our parking lot on a beautiful summer day. Thanks for stopping by.
We celebrate summer reading with fun and games but it is fun with a serious purpose….keep kids reading over the summer to counter the "summer slide." Especially in the early elementary years, there is a gradually shift from learning to read to reading to learn and for enjoyment. Reading over the summer maintains the skills learned during the school year and contributes to a faster start in the fall.
Our community has many summer literacy activities planned. Check out opportunities wherever kids are going this summer: churches, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, KPS, Nature Center, Communities in Schools among many others. Most every organization with a summer program has added a literacy component.
We are working together to build a college-going culture. Encourage kids to read this summer, share what you are reading, bring them to the library.

FEARnet's Angie Greenup hit up Comic-Con to talk to the stars of the new haunted stop-motion flick ParaNorman. In the film, Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a withdrawn kid who is bullied because he can see and speak to the dead. But when an ancient prophecy allows the dead to walk the earth, only Norman can save the day.

Supplements May Support Brain Recovery after StrokeSupplements May Support Brain Recovery after StrokeA combination of low dose B-vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids may help improve brain function in people who have suffered a strokeA combination of low dose B-vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids may help improve brain function in people who have suffered a stroke, according to a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The new study looked at 1,748 people aged 45 to 80 with a history of heart attack, angina, or stroke. They were assigned to one of these groups:
- 56 mcg of folic acid (as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate), 3 mg of vitamin B6, and 2 mcg vitamin B12 per day,
- 600 mg of the omega 3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), in a ratio of 2:1 per day,
- B vitamins and omega-3s, or
- placebo.
For four years, the participants continued their supplements, and their thinking (cognitive) function was assessed at the end of the study. No significant effects on brain function were found in the different supplement groups, but looking just at people who had had a stroke yielded different results. Post-stroke, people who took a combination of B-vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids were significantly less likely to score low on a test of the ability to accurately name the month, date, year, day of the week, and time of day (temporal orientation task) than those who took placebo.
While this study only found relatively slight evidence, it makes a good starting place for further research. "These results could be useful in interventions aimed at preventing cognitive decline in high-risk individuals," said lead study author, Valentina Andreeva, of the University of Paris XIII.
An aging problem
As the world's population continues to get older, problems related to aging also grow, including the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Alzheimer's currently affects 1 in 8 people aged 65 and older.
Advancing age is the foremost risk factor for developing dementia. Addressing other risk factors-those that you can actually do something about-might be the most effective way to prevent the disease from developing. Modifiable risk factors for dementia include
- high blood pressure (hypertension),
- obesity,
- high levels of homocysteine in the blood, and
- inflammation.
If these risk factors look familiar, it's because they're some of the same ones for heart disease. In fact, about 30% of people who experience a stroke will go on to have dementia.
What you can do to help prevent dementia
While there is no cure for dementia, studies point to the power of prevention. See your doctor if you are concerned about your memory, and try these tips to keep your brain healthy for the long haul.
- Maintain a healthy weight. This will help lower blood pressure, too.
- Eat a diet rich in brightly colored fruits and vegetables. These foods contain powerful antioxidants thought to combat the effects of aging. The spice, turmeric, might also help prevent dementia, so be sure to enjoy your curries.
- Get your B vitamins and omega 3s. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, bell peppers, shrimp, scallops, and cold water fish to boost the levels of these nutrients in your diet.
- Have an active social life. People who are more involved in their community are less likely to develop dementia.
- Get your daily exercise. Physical activity comes with many benefits, including weight loss, protection from dementia, lower blood pressure, and better mood. No amount is too little. Work your way up over time to at least 30 minutes on most days of the week.
- Keep your brain busy. Learn a new instrument, do crossword puzzles, play a game of hearts; whatever you can do to exercise your mind will help keep those neurons firing.

Fire caused heavy damage to the attic of a northeast Wichita home Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters were called to a home in the 4100 block of North Jasmine Drive, just north of 37th Street North and Rock Road, about 4 p.m. The fire was reported after a neighbor noticed the roof was on fire and notified the people who live there.
Nobody was hurt and firefighters were able to keep the fire contained to the attic. However, other parts of the home suffered water damage.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Damage to the home and its contents is estimated at $150,000.

I'm a fit 6', 160lbs. Since this is supposed to be a compression fit and I'm a thin guy I thought I'd get a size medium to make sure it fit tight like a compression fit shirt is supposed to. Anyways, the size medium fits snug enough. A large would definitely be too loose! The issue is that the shirt is way too short and the arms end about 4" before my wrists. Basically the fit of this is for short stocky guys.Read All Reviews

The Archives Association of Ontario has shared the following request with the research and archival community. As archives are a major source of information for genealogists, you may have a story you wish to share as well. If you do, please send an account of your experience to the President of the AAO at email@example.com .
Here is their unabridged message:
"I have been contacted by the office of NDP MP Pierre Nantel, the Official Opposition Critic for Heritage, in order to gather evidence to advocate for a government commitment to archives. I have summarized the request I received from Mr. Nantel's office below.
Quebec's TVA network recently started reporting on the cuts to archives and are covering Mr. Nantel's related questions in the House. Essentially they are looking to make the issues at hand as understandable as possible to the public. For example, he cites the following story from a TVA news report " Library and Archive's website shows internationally-renowned Quebec artists Luc Plamondon accepting a Juno, with a subtitle that says "an unidentified man with a Juno"! (http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/infos/national/archives/2012/12/20121203-210205.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter) This is an easy-to-understand issue for the media and the public, and can be directly attached to the Harper Govt's cuts."
Mr. Nantel would like positive examples of historically significant items or documents that have been discovered by archivists or in archives. Things that would not have been discovered or celebrated if it wasn't for archives/archivists (ie. if we're all suffering cuts, there won't be anyone to discover, interpret, or preserve this material). As a bonus, if you can provide an example of something related to the War of 1812 this would allow Mr. Nantel to "demonstrate that the Government's interest in 1812 is all about show and no substance – and that real investment in our history has to involve the professionals that do the research."
Please don't limit yourselves to projects that were accomplished through NADP although these examples are still relevant. You can send me your examples by responding to this email (firstname.lastname@example.com). There is some urgency to the matter as Mr. Nantel's office wants to continue the wave of support generated from the TVA."

Increasing performance while enhancing fuel economy. The Cayenne comes in a choice of three different drive systems, each featuring state-of-the-art technology for high efficiency and relatively low fuel consumption. The gasoline-engined models already operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10 percent. This further improves the carbon dioxide balance since the plants grown for the production of biofuels absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. As you can see, for the benefit of the environment, we are continually working on making our cars more efficient – as well as compatible with alternative fuels. While ensuring that they remain one thing: a thoroughbred Porsche.
We have also applied the highest standards to our gasoline-engined models in order to protect the environment from fuel evaporation. The non-return fuel supply system provides a considerable reduction in vapor emissions. The lines carrying vapor are made from multi-layer plastics. A large active-carbon filter and multi-layer plastic fuel tank help reduce evaporation still further.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Local drivers are protesting the City of Tonawanda's initiative to install red-light cameras at three busy intersections after the council passed a resolution to start the planning process.
The agreement with Phoenix-based Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., will come at no cost to the city. The program is still subject to state approval, and if it is granted, the new council will have to pass another resolution authorizing the use of the cameras.
The cameras would be added to the intersections of Niagara and Seymour streets, Delaware and Broad streets and the Twin City Highway and Young Street. If the plan is approved, the cameras could be installed in March.
Mayor Elect Rick Davis, who will be sworn in Jan. 1, said he supports the project and Police Chief William Strassburg's recommendation.
"We really can't put an officer at those intersections to watch people running red lights," Davis said. "After talking with the chief, talking with RedFlex and watching some footage from the intersections ... it's obviously a problem that needs to be addressed."
The resolution was passed earlier this month with little discussion, but some area drivers are now speaking up in opposition to the proposal. Some are simply concerned about receiving the $50 tickets, while others have called the plans a "money grab scheme."
"If that was the case, we would be putting them up at more intersections than we are," Davis said. "If there is revenue generated from the red-light cameras, we'll discuss putting it back into public safety in some shape or form."
Joshua Dubs, an attorney who lives in North Tonawanda, said he opposes the plans for different reasons. Dubs, who helped fight a similar proposal in Buffalo, argued that a company — with no interests in Buffalo — shouldn't be policing Tonawanda.
"Companies answer to their shareholders, like they should, not the people. You can't ask them to serve and protect the people," he said. "They are in business for the profit."
Dubs, a former candidate for North Tonawanda city attorney, also pointed to studies that indicate that the number of accidents increase when red-light cameras are installed. Instead of going through a yellow light, drivers opt to slam on their breaks, leading to more rear-end collisions.
"It's more trouble than its worth," he said. "It would affect anyone who drives through the city, not just the residents."
But Davis and Strassburg have argued that the cameras will still cut down on serious accidents.
"I would much rather be rear-ended by someone going five to 10 mph than get T-boned by a semi going 45 to 55 mph," Davis said. "The city is reactive instead of proactive far too often, and it shouldn't take a family of four to be hit by a semi to get us to do something. Don't run a red light, and you won't have a problem."
Those who do run the lights will receive a bill and will be able to log in to a website to view a 12-second video of the violation. Tonawanda officers will have the final say on approving each ticket and will be able to dismiss bills for emergency vehicles and other purposes.

LAKE WYLIE — If there were to be a large sewage spill at Crowders Creek Elementary School, it likely happened at the best time and place possible.
Sewage overflows are stated in estimate numbers. Based on what was reported to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Labor Day spill was one of the larger ones reported in recent months near Lake Wylie. Tega Cay has had several sewage spills in recent months including three on or near Labor Day, though most were significantly smaller.
"The overflow resulted in an estimated 150,000 gallons spilled and was caused by a contractor who broke a main line during digging," said Lindsey Evans with DHEC.
The school and utility Carolina Water Service reported the sewer overflow from Labor Day caused by construction on site. It happened on a holiday and in the early evening, when students weren't at school. It also happened in a place that could contain it.
"The pipe was not in front of the school where the most visible construction is taking place," said Mychal Frost, Clover School District public information officer, "but was behind the school and beyond the tree line where a retention pond is being created."
Tom Oakley with Carolina Water, parent company of Utilities Inc., said the retention pond was able to hold the overflow until it could be removed. He said it wasn't his company's work there that led to the incident.
"Someone else's contractor cut a force main causing the spill," Oakley said. "It was contained to a stormwater retention pond on the site and then pumped out."
The contractor responsible cleaned up the spill site Sept. 3, which was a school day. Inspections by DHEC and an environmental engineer working with the district on the project led to the decision not to delay or cancel school.
"There was no impact to the operation of the school," Frost said. "We were in communication with DHEC during the event and no recommendation was made to cancel school the following day. There was no disruption to school operations."

Jodo Kast found his armor on that planet from Republic #67 (the one with the pile of Mandolorian bodies)
Equipment: EE-3 Blastech Sawed-off Blaster Rifle, Mandalorian Armor
Mandalorian Armor: IR sensors, syntherope, various types of rocket darts, powerful wrist laser, permanently set to kill, extremely hot, blue flamed wrist flamethrower, adjustable jetpack topped with a special magnetic grappler, and excellent protection against long distance laser blasts with chest, knee, and wrist plates, as well as the helmet. The Mandalorian uniform's jumpsuit is light grey, the chest plates are green, the face mask and armlets are orange, and the knee pads and shoulder pads are dark yellow. (This is the Twin Engines of Destruction armor.)
Shuttle: "The Wolf" is a modified Imperial Shuttle, presumably stolen or given as a reward for a hunt. Modified professionally by Mandal Motors, the top "sail" became a giant laser cannon and various guns and weapons were attached to make Kast's job easier. The Imperial insignia on the sides of the top wing were changed into Kast's own symbol.
Background: Kast is a young, ambitious hunter who has patterned his short career after that of the notorious Boba Fett. Where he acquired his armor is unknown, but Kast is driven to make a name for himself.
Personality: He is cold, calculating, and extremely dangerous, as well as a bit cocky. Of all his weapons, Kast enjoys his darts most of all. Each is coated with a different poison-some only paralyze or stun, others kill.
Heeding an Imperial call, Kast showed up on an anonymous Super Star Destroyer. Considering his reputation, the Imperials were thrilled to get someone like him. An Imperial officer put Jodo Kast in charge of a group of Bounty Hunters who were going to Tatooine in attempt to capture the Rebel Hero, Adar Tallon. Kast barely spoke through the ordeal. He managed to survive this bounty, despite the fact that the prototype IG droid, IG-72 was destroyed.
After and before this event, Kast took several bounties, occasionally in the name of Boba Fett. Fett was credited, and discredited with what Kast had done over the years. This had always bothered Fett, but there seemed to be nothing he could do about it.
On one mission, the esteemed Grand Admiral Thrawn disguised himself as Jodo Kast. This was for a mission for Darth Vader to shut down the operations of the Black Sun on Correlia. Early in the mission, Thrawn ran into a group of renegade mercenaries, the mercenaries fighting with the odds on their side. Thrawn sat in a chair, legs crossed, and watched the fight. One of the mercs went for his blaster, and Thrawn said, quietly, "Well?". The merc put his blaster away. He wouldn't dare do something cheap in a fight when a hunter as respectable as Kast was watching.
Later, on the planet Fluwhaka, Jodo Kast was taking a Rebel bounty, on a bat-like sentient being called Nosstrick. Kast fired a dart filled with Frinka venom into Nosstrick. The venom paralyzed the creature. Kast slipped in a hole, however, as Dengar arived. When Kast got out of the hole with his jetpack, he put a blaster to Dengar's head, telling him to get away from Nosstrick. Dengar realised that this wasn't Fett. Fett wouldn't break the Bounty Hunter's Creed.
Dengar wasn't too partial to anyone holding a blaster to his head. He alerted "Sarlaac Food" that he had spotted Kast again. Fett wanted to get his imposter. Fett went to a bounty hunters guild posing as a man by the name of Madak, and hired Kast for a bounty on Nal Hutta. Fett and Dengar took a few days to set up a trap for Kast.
Jodo Kast arrived on Nal Hutta in his modified Imperial Shuttle, with the symbol below on it's wing. He managed to survive the traps, and get past the parasites which Dengar had planted. But then, in a final bout with Boba Fett, Kast was killed, via a dart to his neck, and an exploding jetpack...
This is the best known item starring Jodo Kast. Most of the versions of his armor are based around the two main differences in this between his and Fett's: The visor and gauntlets are orange instead of Fett's green and red, and the jumpsuit is a shade of grey instead of blue. The real main difference is the Mandalorian identification symbols on their chests, both of which overlap each other on this cover. We aren't quite sure what this means yet, but I'm sure that we will find out in future books, comics, and even movies. This comic book is very rare, and originally the pages were in several Star Wars magazines as a mini series. The events of this comic are posted above.
This was the first appearence of Jodo Kast. Thanks, West End Games. In this, Jodo Kast, along with a small band of Bounty Hunters, take an Imperial assignment to capture the Rebel Hero, Adar Tallon on the desert planet of Tatooine. You may think that these characters on the cover are 4-LOM, Bossk, Boba Fett, IG-88, and Zuckuss, but in this role playing game, the protocal droid didn't exist, and the rest were: Jungen, the Trandoshan; Jodo Kast, the Mandalore; IG-72, the IG droid; and Vytor Shryke, the Gand.
IG-72 was also in Tales of the Bounty Hunters---the only IG droid that survived. Unfortunately, he kamikazed himself in Tatooine Manhunt.
This is the cover of Tales from the Empire. This picture is based a short novel by Timothy Zahn and Micheal A. Stackpole in which Grand Admiral Thrawn impersonates Jodo Kast. It seems to be based losely around Twin Engines of Destruction, note the grey jumpsuit, and the face mask a bit lighter than Fett's. In Tatooine Manhunt, Jodo Kast was just an inversed Fett-everything was backwards, the cape, gauntlets, antenna, wookie scalps.
The Jodo Kast CCG card's picture. The armor is a bit off. The mask should be orange, not yellow... The symbol's wrong... The armor is blue instead a green.

New information today in the deadly Center City building collapse.
Neither of the two demolition contractors involved in the collapse appear to have been paying city wage taxes, according to Philadelphia City Councilman James Kenney at a hearing today.
Kenney also accused the building's owner of picking the cheapest demolition bid.
The next investigative committee hearing will be on July 11, 2013.
The June 5th collapse at 22nd and Market Streets killed six people and injured 13.
A heavy equipment operator is under arrest in the case.

Republican groups proliferated across Kootenai County after the 2008 presidential election, and among them was Rally Right's greatest rival, the Reagan Republicans. I met that groups' president and co-founder in the office of his custom tiling company, X Things Manufacturing, tucked in a dingy concrete complex in Post Falls. Ron Lahr, a funny man whose sarcasm often edges toward exasperation, wore a leather jacket over a green sweatshirt. He had moved to Kootenai County from Spokane in 2002, and connected with Jeff Ward, another Washington emigrant and a former staffer for George Nethercutt, the Republican who defeated that state's 30-year Democratic Rep. Tom Foley in 1994. "We talked a lot about how unsophisticated the politics were here in Kootenai County," Lahr recalled. Together they joined a "Pachyderm Club" affiliated with the Republican National Committee, and both became precinct captains. At one event, Lahr was instructed to write down his name and the city of his birth. "Of the 60 or 70 people there," he said, "most were born in California."
Lahr and Ward thought the Pachyderms and the Central Committee were hamstrung by party affiliation, unable to back candidates in the primaries or take part in non-partisan elections, such as for school board or city council. Non-partisan officials oversee the levying and management of many local taxes, and since incumbents rarely lost, many of the same people held their positions for years. Lahr and Ward suspected there were Democrats among them -- the county's last holdouts -- who were prone to irresponsible and excessive spending. "We thought, if we can influence the election for fire district, city council, school board," Lahr told me, "that's access to a lot of money."
Lahr and Ward formed the Reagan Republicans in 2009, aiming to not only influence the standard partisan races, but also to recast nonpartisan races as, essentially, partisan. No R or D would appear by a candidate's name on the ballot, but the group would ensure that voters knew candidates' affiliations and be inspired to vote. They set about compiling lists and neighborhood maps, and on Saturdays before elections, gathered club members and knocked on doors. With donations to their PAC, they acquired data on demographics and voting patterns. They learned, for example, that many Democrats did register as Republicans in order to vote in primaries. "If you just take the information from the county, it says, 'This person is a Republican,' " Lahr explained. "With our data, we can say, 'This person is registered as a Republican. Here's what we think they really are.' "
Within three years, the group helped 51 Republicans, including 15 non-partisan candidates, win primary and general elections. In 2009, three of their candidates fell short in races for Coeur d'Alene city council, but two of them, including Dan Gookin, who also had roots in California, tried again in 2011, this time amid controversy over the council's plan to spend $15 million reconstructing a downtown park. Gookin hired the services of Strategery, a side-project of Lahr and Ward's that offered more sophisticated assistance than volunteers could provide. The seat Gookin sought was open, and Democrats had nominated George Sayler, a popular retired legislator with a record of earning bipartisan support. (Gookin himself had once voted for Sayler.) But Sayler favored the park project and was an unabashed Democrat. A few weeks before that city council election, during a public conversation with Gookin hosted by the North Idaho Pachyderm Forum, an audience member asked Sayler if he supported President Obama. "What connection does that have with the city election?" Sayler asked. Then he replied, "I am proud I endorsed Barack Obama, and I would do it again."
A week later, Strategery reprinted the quote on a flier beside headshots of Sayler and Obama, and dropped it on peoples' doorsteps. Sayler lost by 15 percent.
The city council election aggravated an ideological conflict within the local Republican Party -- not between conservatives and moderates, but between those who believed, like Jacobson, that only conservatives counted as Republicans, and those like Lahr, who believed that any Republican, moderate or conservative, was better than a Democrat, and those like Gookin, who believed that there was still a sacred place for non-partisanship. The flier unsettled Gookin -- Sayler's politics, though no secret, struck him as "just one of those things" that needn't be mentioned.
Gookin moved to Coeur d'Alene from Seattle in 1993. Previously, he'd lived in San Diego, where he founded the For Dummies book series and authored many of them himself. When he arrived in North Idaho, he "wasn't really associated with one party or another" and was often accused of being both a Democrat and a Republican. "It's just a way to marginalize someone you don't understand," he told me. "They just kind of shove you into an area and say, 'This is where you're supposed to go.' " He thought that politics had grown nastier over his years in the county, and his own campaign was a casualty of this. "We're taking national issues and projecting them on a local level," he said. "It just doesn't work. It's not the same thing."
I heard this frequently throughout my reporting: The same politics dividing the nation in presidential and congressional elections had seeped into local government. The difference was that in Kootenai County, Democrats had all but disappeared, and so Republicans had no common enemy to rally against.
Many I spoke with blamed the Reagan Republicans for the party's conflicts, because their work in primaries pitted Republicans against one another. Others pointed to the 2010 election of precinct captains, which forced people to take sides. One Rally Right member told the Coeur d'Alene Press, "The Republican Party is not being fractured. It's just being cleansed of the people who are not true Republicans." Bob Pedersen perpetuated this distinction; according to Lahr, Pedersen wanted "to be the arbiter of who's Republican and who's not." Pedersen denounced Lahr and Ward as "the real enemy" because he often disapproved of candidates the Reagan Republicans endorsed. When Gookin met Pedersen at the fairgrounds one summer and mentioned that he was running for city council, Pedersen regarded him skeptically. "What do you think about government?" Gookin recalled him asking. "I said that I thought taxes should be low and government should be small. He thought that was a good answer. Then he said, 'What do you think about gay rights?' I told him I thought gay people had a constitutional right to be married. He said, 'Well, we're going to disagree on that.' He never talked to me again."
Among the many Republicans Pedersen refused to endorse was Luke Malek, who won a Legislature seat in 2012. John Cross, chairman of the Republican Central Committee of North Idaho, told me that some people didn't think Malek was conservative enough "because of who he hung around with," an accusation I heard applied to several moderates. Even Cross, who is considered highly conservative, initially drew Pedersen's skepticism due to his take on the role of God in politics. "It's not that I have an open disagreement with Bob about religion," Cross said. "I just -- how do I put this? -- I don't talk about it, and I don't define other people by it."
When I finally met Pedersen, in a Post Falls suburb, I was surprised to find him at once boyish and grandfatherly. He has cloudy blue eyes, thinning hair and eyebrows that bristle over the rims of his glasses. He works as an antique collector. "I want this to be known," he insisted. "I did not try to control the Republican Party. All I did was get conservatives elected. I'm nobody. I'd never been in politics before."
Despite Pedersen's delight in the conservative takeover, some Republicans told me they feared speaking out against what the conservatives defined as the party line. "The more the party gains power," one told me, "the less dissent it seems they're allowing." Gookin blamed this on a lack of effective leadership: "We don't have anyone saying, 'Knock it off, we both believe in the same thing. Get back there. We have enough room to tolerate different opinions.' No one wants to do that. And by being silent, you encourage it."
The infighting struck a new high in February 2012, when Tina Jacobson helped choose Richard Mack as the keynote speaker for the annual Lincoln Day dinner. Mack is widely celebrated among Libertarians and Constitutionalists for winning a U.S. Supreme Court case that found a gun control bill unconstitutional in 1997. This time, it was Jeff Ward who doubted Mack's loyalty. Ward and 13 other Central Committee members wrote a letter charging that, "It is quite evident that Mr. Mack's support of the Republican Party is inconsistent, intermittent and questionable," and suggested that Republican officials might be offended if forced to share his podium. The Committee put the question up for a vote, and decided 31-30 to disinvite Mack. The ensuing debate in the newspapers grew so hostile that Mack himself wrote in. Jacobson told the Coeur d'Alene Press, "This breaks my heart to see how we are treating each other. These are your comrades, not your enemies. We're Team Republican." Two weeks later, Jacobson re-invited Mack, alleging that a "false proxy" ballot had been used in the vote against him, and Ward dropped the issue.
Jacobson resigned from the Central Committee in May 2012. She told me that she wanted more time to work on her novel, a paranormal romance about an ambitious anti-tax crusader who is elected to the Idaho Legislature and falls in love with a ghost.

By STEVEN HOWELL
---- — MONTREAL — From classics to blockbusters to contemporary productions, the Opera de Montreal celebrates its 33rd season beginning this weekend.
This year's season, which opens Saturday with "La Traviata," also includes "The Flying Dutchman," Die Fledermaus," "Dead Man Walking" and "Manon."
"We wanted to give the opera lovers of the area a menu that was extremely varied," said Artistic Director Michel Beaulac. "So there are some legends and some things more true to life, but all have elements that will appeal to just about everybody."
Beaulac says the season opener classic "La Traviata" by Giuseppe Verdi "talks about the everyday life of its times.
"It's like reality TV in the mid 19th century," Beaulac said.
"La Traviata" tells the story of Violetta, a courtesan in love with Alfredo, a young man who comes from a very good family.
"It's the story of these women who would live off their suitors," Beaulac said. "Everyone is in love with Violetta. Everyone wants to date her. But she's tired of the situation."
Violetta soon falls in love with Alfredo, but his family disapproves.
"It's a very authentic, true-to-life story," Beaulac said. "And it was very revolutionary at the time Verdi wrote it because it underlined that style of life."
Beaulac adds that "La Traviata" is one of Verdi's most poignant and popular operas.
"And popular operas are not popular for nothing," Beaulac said. "People recognize that. When the music really fits with the character and the emotion and drives into your soul and mind and heart, then it's a hit. This story is so universal, so timeless."
"La Traviata" is performed Saturday and again Sept. 18, 20 and 22.
Next is "The Flying Dutchman," which is just in time for German composer Richard Wagner's bicentennial of his birth — he was born in 1813.
"'The Flying Dutchman' offers a totally different approach," Beaulac said. "It's a legend that explores the solitude of the human soul."
The story follows the captain of a phantom ship who travels the seas for seven years.
"He must do this before he can touch land once again and find love to redeem his own sins," Beaulac said. "And it's that redemption that Wagner has in all of his operas. It's a very powerful, significant and psychological subject. We're all looking for a little redemption and salvation in our lives."
"The Flying Dutchman" is performed Nov. 10, 13, 15 and 17.
Johann Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" takes the stage in the New Year.
"But we've adapted it as a comedy, which is set in Montreal in the 1930s," Beaulac said. "It's a full Canadian cast, and we'll mix the two languages as much as Montreal is French and English."
"Die Fledermaus," which translates to "The Bat" in English, follows Eisenstein, a man sentenced to jail who is able to postpone his punishment to attend a party where he meets a Hungarian countess, who is really his wife in disguise.
"Die Fledermaus" is presented Jan. 26, 29 and 31 and Feb.2.
Following is a much newer contemporary operatic take with "Dead Man Walking," which is based on the 1995 film starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon.
"Dead Man Walking" tells the real-life story of Sister Helen Prejean, who befriends a prisoner who is sentenced to death.
"This deals with very powerful strong themes," Beaulac said, who adds that the timing coincides with the recent 50th anniversary of Amnesty International, the human-rights organization founded in 1961.
"The death penalty is still a big question in a lot of minds," Beaulac said. "Even in a world full of violence, many people question the death penalty. It's a very strong statement on pardon and not adding death to death."
"Dead Man Walking" is performed March 9, 12, 14 and 16.
Closing the season is Opera de Montreal's own production of "Manon" on May 18, 21, 23 and 25.
"All in all, it will be a great season," Beaulac said.
Place des Arts at 175 St. Catherine St. W. (Metro station Place des Arts). Curtain call is usually 7:30 p.m. Individual tickets range from about $50 to $130. Call the Place des Arts box office at (866) 842-2112. Also visit www.pda.qc.ca or www.operademontreal.com.

Seip Mound is the central mound in a group of geometric earthworks. Farming and erosion have degraded the surrounding earthworks leaving the central mound an outstanding feature. It is 240 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 30 feet high.
Excavations have revealed that prehistoric Indian buildings existed near the earthworks. Today, visitors can see the location of some of these buildings as they are outlined by short posts in the ground. The Hopewell Indians (100 BC-AD 500) built Seip Mound for burials. This culture had a highly developed craft industry, as is evidenced by artifacts found with bodies in the burial site.

Greenwood outscored Halfway 13-4 in the first quarter and, until a last minute field goal by Kersten Shuler for the Cards, it looked like their only points would come from early free throws by Taylor Moore.
"Halfway beat us by 8 or 9 last year, so this was a good win for us," said Greenwood's coach, Kent Hedgpeth. "We shot the ball well [in the first quarter] and like a lot of teams, when we shoot the ball real well, we play a little better defense."
Greenwood's momentum wore off in the second quarter, though, as Halfway's lead scorer, Katy Hensley, led an offensive, putting up 6 points in layups and coordinating her offense to score an additional 7 points.
When asked about the change in pace, Hedgpeth said, "Well, Amy Abdalla got into a little bit of foul trouble and that changed the dynamic of the game a little bit. We had some trouble getting the ball to our offense."
Halfway continued their charge through the third, scoring 16 points; although Abdalla was back on the court, Greenwood's lead scorer, Crosby Garrison (17 points), spent some time on the bench.
Greenwood's scoring in the third quarter, however, was in the capable hands of Kelsey Nau, who, with two 3-pointers, and a couple of field goals managed to keep Greenwood in the game.
Down by a point to start the fourth quarter, Greenwood had both Abdalla and Garrison take the court again and their offensive strategy came back together.
"We wanted to slow it down in the fourth quarter, and it worked well for a little bit, but we got into foul trouble and… Greenwood shot tremendously well tonight," said Halfway coach Steve Gallivan.
The Lady Blue Jays sunk 7 points from the line and, after taking the lead with five minutes left, held on to win.
Greenwood 47, Halfway 41
Greenwood 13-9-10-15—47
Halfway 4-13-16-8—41
Greenwood—Crosby Garrison 17, Kelsey Nau 10, Amy Abdalla 6, Haley Hopkins 5, Courtney Whitlock 5, Anna Turner 4.
Halfway—Katy Hensley 11, Taylor Moore 8, Elle Radford 7, Kersten Shuler 7, Ashley Spear 6, Sarah Hensley 2.

Democracy and government secrecy just don't mix.
Whether it's a federal agency forcing you to jump through hoops to see public records or a local board avoiding open discussion about an issue that affects you, closed government is bad for democracy.
The News-Democrat, in its news articles and editorials, regularly points out situations that illustrate these truths. You count on us to do that.
You, too, can play a significant role in seeing that your government remains open. Here are five ways you can make a difference:
* Insist that your local elected officials conduct the public's business in public. Don't accept tactics such as meeting privately in small groups to discuss local issues. These tactics are designed to skirt the spirit of the state's Open Meetings Act and enable elected officials to conduct your business in secret. You can learn more about the Open Meetings Act at Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's Web site at foia.ilattorneygeneral.net.
* Take advantage of the public records now available online, provided by governments and third parties, including the News-Democrat. All kinds of information is at your fingertips: salary data-bases, budgets, nursing home inspection reports, state and federal legislation, standardized test scores and more.
These records can help you be better prepared to participate in the business of your community. You can find links to some of this information on our Web site by clicking on our Eye on Government link. We will add other records as we collect more information. You can find other sources of public records by doing online searches.
* Urge your local government to follow the lead of Gov. Pat Quinn's office by posting public records on their Web sites, making them easily accessible to you. You can visit the governor's site -- the Illinois Accountability Project -- at www2.illinois.gov/sunshine. or by clicking on the link at www.bnd.com/eyeongovernment.
* Use the state and federal Freedom of Information Acts when you want to review public records that aren't readily available or when a government agency refuses a verbal request for documents. FOIA laws require governments to respond to requests within certain deadlines (though some agencies seem to use FOIA to delay the release of documents). You can find links to information about FOIA on our Web site.
* Contact the public access counselor in Madigan's office if you need help getting documents in Illinois or have a complaint about an open meetings violation. The counselor, Cara Smith, can be reached at 877-299-3642 or email@example.com. us. Let us know about open meeting violations as well.
Open government and unfettered access to public information are cornerstones of healthy civic life. To be sure, when we elect people to office, we entrust them with the responsibility to live by those values. But experience shows that some officials need an occasional reminder to do the right thing, be it from their newspaper or from their bosses -- taxpayers like you.
Jeffry Couch, editor and vice president of the News-Democrat, can be reached at email@example.com or 239-2551.
