Even as I sit here, I can't believe I'm writing this. I've never been one to voice my opinions in such a public manner. But after learning that Kongregate Serious Discussion Forum wants to impair the practice of democracy, I felt I at least had to set a few things straight. To get immediately to the point, it likes teaching the next generation how to hate—and whom to hate. That's the most damnable thing about it. It's also why I can't follow SD's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that a colleague recently informed me that a bunch of sanctimonious storytellers and others in SD's amen corner are about to stab us in the back. I have no reason to doubt that story because the point at which you discover that SD is the greatest purveyor of sensationalism in the world today is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that its cowardly attacks not only demean its victims, they dehumanize all of us and are contrary to the principles of a free society. Am I being too harsh for writing that? Maybe I am, but that's really the only way you can push a point through to it.
Like a lion after tasting the blood of human victims, SD will commit acts of banditry and insurgency. Whenever people fail to fall for SD's nocuous deceptions, it tries leading them to the slaughterhouse via the back entrance. If that ploy still doesn't work, SD then sics its blood-drenched, murderous band in all of its resplendent foulness upon them. SD fails to comprehend and practice the articles of its charter. More precisely, it conveniently forgets its charter's principles of peace, love, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness—or, at best, misremembers them as an edict to subordinate all spheres of society to an ideological vision of organic community. SD has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and shift blame from those who benefit from oppression to those who suffer from it—all by trumping up a phony emergency. SD's unregenerate revenge fantasies are meticulously designed to keep the population unaware, uneducated, dumbed down, and focused on stupefying activities like internet arguments. The intention is to prevent people from noticing that SD has been altering, amending, abridging, and censoring the record to point the finger of responsibility at others. Now for some parting advice: Look at the facts. Analyze the arguments. Think about the motives of the people who are telling you that clever one-liners are a valid substitute for actual thinking. And have confidence in yourself. Remember, SD's abominable pleas are based on a jungle mentality of mistrust, betrayal, and disloyalty.

One of the most famous music videos ever was re-enacted Friday on the University of North Carolina campus as a way to honor former Tar Heel Eve Carson.
Students, staff and faculty all danced to "Thriller" in The Pit in the heart of campus. Carson, who was murdered her senior year, loved the song and was huge fan of Halloween.
Even Winston Crisp, the vice chancellor of student affairs, took part in the event as a way to raise awareness of the Eve Carson Scholarship Fund.
"This is all about the Eve Carson scholarship," Crisp said. "It's a great way to remember Eve and to have some fun with the students."
The Eve Carson Memorial 5K run will be Nov. 16 and begin at 9 a.m.. Last year, the event raised $52,000.

Comments about Detroit Tigers Avisail Garcia Autographed Baseball:
Unfortunately typical of post-1985 signatures. Compare with autographed balls also sold on this site. Almost anything signed after 1985 is illegible. If not on the invoice or ad I would have no idea whose signatures these are.

I will be adding some originals as well as new prints to my etsy shop next week! If you're interested stop by next Wednesday to see the new work. Here are a few of the pieces that I will be adding.
Creative Block book signing!
So excited Danielle Krysa (aka the Jealous Curator) is in Portland tonight for a book signing for Creative Block. I will be there, as well, signing! If you are in Portland you should come!
Wednesday, May 21st @ 7pm Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing
3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd.
do over
Sometimes you have to go back to move forward. I pretty regularly scrap or start over a painting. The piece below had a lot of work into it (and alot of paint and layers), but it wasn't working. I think this is the third layer of painting on this canvas, fingers crossed this time it's a keeper! Below is mid white-out and ready to begin again.
new site
I (finally!) updated my website. This has been on my to do for forever. Take a look, if you're interested!
feeling inspired by spring
lately, around the studio
book addiction
My name is Lisa and I have an art book addiction. There are worse addictions to have, right? At least that is what I keep telling myself. So I thought I'd share a few of my recent favorites.
Contemporary Art Spaces is like driving around at night so you can see inside houses, but with art studios. I can't tell you how much I love this book. Also, Painted On 21st Street, work by Helen Frankenthaler, is really lovely.
happy friday
I'm definitely feeling the rush spring air brings. After a sketchy week of a husband out of the country and a house full of sickies, the blue skies are very welcome. Have a wonderful weekend!
1. blue skies for days 2. a conrner of a new painting 3. did i mention the blue skies?
new little prints
I just got a new set of little prints back from Artifact Uprising and I'm so thrilled with them I had to share! I've never printed the floodline pieces before and they turned out really well. I think I will have to start offering a set of them in the shop. For now, one will be tucked in with all orders.
palette + painting
I usually am working on several paintings at once, moving between them. Those paintings are typically part of a series and often tend towards the same color pallette. I am really loving green right now, as you can see.
good mail day
Well today was a rather epic mail day. The book 'Creative Block' by Danielle Krysa arrived. The concept is a brilliant one and it is just so beautifully executed. 'Creative Block' is "a contemporary art book filled not only with inspiring images, but also inspiring words, advice, and tips to help amateurs and professionals alike, find their way through those days when the ideas just won't come." I am so honored to be included in it and can't wait to sit down with a big glass of wine and read through.
cutie and the boxer
Really looking forward to watching this movie tonight. It reminds me a bit of one of my all time favorites Herb and Dorothy.
Cutie and the Boxer – Trailer from ARTJAIL on Vimeo.
New Work
I recently finished the painting below. The original is available at Good Eye Gallery and prints will be in my etsy shop soon!
snow day(s)
Snow in Portland is fairly rare and fleeting, but last week we got the real thing. The kids got 3 days off of school (5day weekend) and we got our fill of sledding, urban skiing and snow ball fights. Now back to work and on to Spring!
Expose Yourself to Art
Expose Yourself to Art | Mike Ryerson 1979
Because it's Monday and it made me laugh.
Inspiring work and process
Heather Hansen's work "Emptied Gestures is an experiment in kinetic drawing." Her work seeks to 'download movement' directly to paper. Both the finished piece and the process is beautiful.

new floodline pieces
some new floodlines that have come about over the last few months, to be available very soon!
this. that. the other
Things I've been up to since I was last here:
1. started reading 5 books simultaneously (I do not recommend), so far I have finished 0
2. cleaned my studio (I can see the floor!)
3. had farewell drinks with a dear friend
4. played this game with friends (cried I laughed so hard and not just due to all the sidecars I had consumed)
5. went for a new years hike here
6. started daydreaming/planning for our summer vacation
7. made a mile long to do list…
8. plotted all the paintings I want to do NOW. (see no. 7)
In winter
It snowed here last night (enough of a rarity here that it is always exciting). So I decided to finally finish and share some skater paintings I've been working on for forever. I just love the stark minimalist quality of winter and decided to also invert several of the pieces, so both will be available. I hope to have them available next week. Happy Friday and stay warm!
Good eye gallery show
I am part of an event curated by Melinda Fay of Good Eye Gallery. It takes place Wednesday, December 4, 2013, from 5:00pm – 8:00pm at the Deasy / Penner Partners Pasadena office – located at 200 South Los Robles Avenue. If you're in the area go check it out!

A modern take on the classic condenser microphone.The ARIA features a tube shaped, gray metallic body with black chrome trim. The large diaphragm capsule has a cardioid polar pattern, with a -10db pad and low frequency roll-off. The result is a solid state microphone designed in the tradition of well-known German vintage microphones, with a similar rich sound and tonal quality. Contrary to its high end sound, the Aria is affordably priced to suit the needs of professional and project studio recording enthusiasts.

What is C.O.B.B. Society?
C.O.B.B. is an elite Society of Crippled Old Biker Bastards and Bitches who have overcome the fear of riding after a crash, and we all know that Crashing Sucks! The difference is, we are persistent, positive thinking people, who continue to ride after a road casualty. We have overcome the fear of falling through our desire to ride, and that is a huge Success! This is our common bond for Cobberodity. Our society is strictly about fun and the good ole days. It was created so Cobbers alike could communicate and gather all over the world of their own free will and with no commitment. We are a casual society that opposes all controversy and are strictly social for our passion of riding. We would like to hear your stories and perils of the road and make them available to share with Cobbers all over the world. Ride Till You Rot!
Our Society's GOLDEN RULE
Respect is the name of the game, give it and you will receive it. Remember, we are NOT a motorcycle club or riding club, we're a society. Better known as a Social Club. We do not subscribe to anything but our own stupidity. Individual people may have individual "associations" with other entities. Those are strictly personal and have absolutely nothing to do with our C.O.B.B. Society. COBBers are friends to all riders, no matter their affiliation, race, color or creed. C.O.B.B. Society remains neutral and has no affiliations with any other organization. We are the guys that have overcome our fear, ruffed off our ego's, and after brushing ourselves off and are still on the hog after all these years. AGE + EXPERIENCE + RIDING = C.O.B.B. That's all there is to it, and that's what we are all about! Please keep this in mind at all times. We've been around the block a few times to say the least. Which has given us the experience to know we have nothing to prove and respect what everyone around us is doing. And riding is what has brought on all of this wonderful Cobbrodity! So let's keep it that way! This is not a suggestion. Party in Peace!

Our Theme and Image
FACT: We are not a Motorcycle Club, nor do we have intentions of becoming one. We are merely a Society of imperfect people who due to the fault of ourselves, or others, are bound together by the fact that we have "to one degree or another," had an imperfect riding incident on a motorcycle. There is no way one could or want, by my way of thinking, probate for such a society.
—Excerpt taken from Chapter One Theme and Image Statement
C.O.B.B. Society Chapters
W e have received requests from all over the world for C.O.B.B. Society Chapters. Please understand the National Organization, along with Chapter One of Kissimmee, FL, are laying the road map right now. When you observe Chapter 1's short past, it' s clear that they' ll have a long future. It's taken an incredible amount of effort and organization on their part. (Ask Newt, president of Chapter One, the last time he's had a day off and he's retired). If you are interested in starting a Chapter, get to know other Cobbers in your area and spread the word of C.O.B.B. Ride together in the name of C.O.B.B and once you've recruited 50+ members in your area, then you' ll be in position of becoming official. If you're serious about starting some Cobberodity in your area, check out Chapter One. Until there are enough members and participation in your area, follow some of the guidelines for setting up a COBBUNITY. Check out UK C.O.B.B. and Berkshire Riders C.O.B.B. They are both prime examples of Cobberodity, and are well on their way to becoming official.
Starting a COBBUNITY
C.O.B.B. members, these are suggestions to get you on your way to starting a Chapter! Search Members by State online as a way to find other Cobbers in your area and get started!
1. Take the time to get together, life's short.
2. Spread the word! Riding after a crash is a success!
3. Meet a certain amount of times a month.
4. Form fundraisers and parties we would be happy to spread the word for you.
5. Create low dollar food fun, and lies to get together. Corn boils, crawfish, potatoes ...
6. Create your own meeting spot.
7. Pass time with story telling and bobbing for French fries.
1. Chop and section crappers for racing. Wheelie wheelchairs, bed races, and walker build offs. (Walker build offs you must start from scratch. Have a walker, pile of bike parts, duct tape, string, bubblegum, and zip ties are always required.
2. Go to swap meets. Promote and sell COBBrodery by retailing COBB products.
3. Get girls to dress in corn stalks. Corn her the COBB queen, and then have her shuck herself in front of you. (Contact your local escort service or strip club to find a queen who is willing to shuck herself just for fun).
4. Make COBB information available in your local town and throughout your state.
Hope this helps! Any other suggestions or questions on your mind
should be forwarded to the WebBastard.

I've had quite a few problems uploading scans of my sketches. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I've been thinking a lot about what type of colour scheme I want to use I was initially drawn to very bold colours such as deep red's etc. However, haven thought about it further I feel that a more subtle colour is needed, as due to the bad press WikiLeaks has received from the media, my campaign will have to persuade the viewer that what they belief in is something worth looking at. Therefore I want to use blues and greens within my work as these a calming natural colours that will portray Julian Assange and WikiLeaks in a more personable manor, rather than using red's which would evokes anger and suggests hatred. On the other hand I do feel that for some of my images red will work really well, as for some of my images I want to create a feeling of anger.
For my poster's I've decided I want to keep them really simple, with one colour backgrounds and focus on dramatic shadows. I've chosen to do this as I feel that due to it being a poster campaign the viewer will most likely be passing by the image and therefore the image has to convey a message quickly, it also has to be striking enough for the viewer to take a second look, that is why I have chosen to use dramatic contrast between shadows and the light areas of the image. I also want to centre the campaign around three main images; Julian Assange, as he is the most public figure of the organisation and has featured heavily in the news recently and will therefore be most recognisable. Computer's, the viewer has to make a direct link that the work WikiLeaks and the likes of is all on the internet and that this is very much a form of cyber-terrorism. I also want to try and portray the kinds of things that are possible for example a broken computer suggesting what would happen if a whole network was brought down. Fingers, I want to use fingers within my work as this allows the viewer to relate to the images and almost understand that they can do something and all it takes is the click of a button and all this information is there in front of them. I also want to use imagery of a pointing finger to really place some form of pressure on the viewer.
I really like the idea of repetition within my campaign, whether it be an image, colour scheme or font, perhaps all three. I feel that if there is a continuos repetition of imagery etc then it ties the whole campaign together and creates a finished feel. I also feel that the more something is repeated the more people begin to pay attention to it and question what they are seeing, this then forces them to create an opinion on it, whether it be a positive opinion or a negative one, either way it evokes a reaction. It is this idea that I am interested in and would like to apply to my campaign.
It's quite funny that at the start of this project the thought of people actually crashing networks and websites seemed quite distant to me, and now nearing the end of this project it's all kicking off.
After finally feeling like I had got my head around the subject of "cyber-terrosim", I read into it more, and it became more and more obvious that cyber-terrorism is an extremely broad subject. Due to this I was finding it difficult to produce ten ideas that would work affectively as a awareness campaign. It was at this point WikiLeaks was all over the news and media, I then had the idea to create a campaign challenging the website's beliefs> However, having considered it further I decided that it would be more interesting to create a campaign supporting Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. I then began to play around with some ideas and started thinking about colour schemes etc.
Having looked further into cyber terrorism, I've realized that my initial perception of cyber terrorism was wrong. I originally was of the impression that cyber terrorism was only really a threat to peoples personal details being stolen, along the lines of fraud etc. However, having read up on the subject I now realize that as much as that may be a part of cyber terrorism and is not to be ignored, there is a much bigger picture to be seen, as the threat of power grids, air control towers, hospitals all being brought to a standstill through hacking computer networks becomes continually more prominent. We live in a age where we are becoming more and more reliant on technology therefore the thought of whole networks being brought down is a scary one and we can only imagine the mass panic that would ensue if such an attack was launched.
Now having a better understanding of the subject I'm excited to get some sketches done of how I want my posters to look. Now that I know how serious this topic is, I want to go down quite a sinister route with dark colors contrasting with light colors to provide impact. I also want to make sure the "cyber terrorist" appears threatening as i feel the image of terrorists has been parodied so many times before that there is the danger of making the character seem comical. I also want to use bold tag lines that will draw the viewer in or that will convey my message instantly.
Having looked over all my initial ideas I've decided to go with cyber terrorism. I feel it has a greater depth of images within it, and will allow me to fully explore different styles of propaganda. At this point I'd like to look at almost re-creating the old WW2 propaganda posters and adjusting them to cyber terrorism, I also want to look into ways of creating some scaremongering images so I'm not just focussing on creating an awareness campaign. I'll explore both these ideas and see which one is better, more research and some sketches to come.

Airline sued for asking men to change clothes before boarding
Passengers charge U.S. Airways with discrimination.
Two young African American men boarding a U.S. Airways flight were allegedly denied access to their seats until they changed out of casual attire. An airline employee at the gate told the two men they couldn't sit in first class wearing hoodies and jeans, New York Daily News reports, and were instructed to remove their baseball caps, put on button-up shirts and nicer shoes and change from jeans into slacks.
Miles and MacCraig Warren, brothers traveling from Denver to Los Angeles on their way home from a funeral in August, were "humiliated" but wanted no trouble. They returned to the gate in the required clothes only to find two other young men — one Caucasian, one Filipino — boarding first class dressed in hoodies and sneakers.
The Warrens filed a lawsuit in federal court this week charging the airline with discrimination and causing emotional distress. The brothers have said they're not after money but that "an apology would be nice."
Bing: Trouble with the Boeing 787?
U.S. Airways issued a statement saying it's taking the allegation seriously and that "we welcome customers of all ethnicities and backgrounds and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind." Their defense may hinge on the fact that the Warrens obtained their first-class tickets through a friend employed by U.S. Airways who provided them with a "buddy pass" — which, an airline representative said, would require the men to dress according to company guidelines for traveling employees. But that policy may not have been made clear to Miles and MacCraig before they were at the gate.
More from MSN Living: Is air travel safe?
The episode echoes another airline-attire incident we related last summer (along with other things that get people kicked off airplanes), though in that case a Spirit Airlines crew spirited a passenger off a flight when he became verbally abusive after being asked to lift up his sagging pants.
More from MSN Living: 50 Facebook dos and don'ts
Back in the Golden Age of air travel, passengers dressed in business attire to fly. Today, people travel in the same everyday duds they wear to Wal-Mart. Not a great look on some, but maybe if the airlines didn't treat us like we were in a bus station, we wouldn't dress like it. Whatever the airplane crew's perspective on proper attire may be, it should match passenger to passenger — regardless of where he or she is sitting, how much was paid for the ticket or whether a flight attendant is afraid of black people.

The employee who gave them their passes is probably going to get fired. These guys need to issue a HUGE public apology. I'm glad they're not my "friends"
UNBELIEVABLE! As one of my instructors in flight attendant training said, (paraphrased after 20+ years) "You are getting PAID for your time and you are flying for FREE. If (insert name of airline here) asks you to wear a giant bunny suit on the airplane, that's what you wear. Express yourself on your own time"
This was in regards to uniform regulations, but non-rev travel attire is the same thing. You are flying for FREE!!!
Hey! Would you put on a big yellow T-Shirt that says, "I LOVE USAirways" in exchange for a free ticket in First Class? Yes? They how about just donning business attire and a respectful, grateful attitude?
I've been in the Travel Industry for over 28+ years. Anytime we fly on passes or reduced rate tickets or on "Buddy Passes" (which all are an extended PRIVLEGE!). We always had to dress like you were representing the airline you were flying (their dress code). There's nothing wrong with that. There friend is the one to blame here not the airline. Quit wasting the courts time. It wasn't discrimination. It was a lack of communication from your friend.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby says he's feeling better just one week after undergoing surgery to repair a broken jaw.
Speaking to the media for the first time since the injury, the star forward said he has no timetable on returning to the lineup.
"Having gone a week or so, it's gotten better and I feel better than after the first couple of days," Crosby said. "I'm going to see the doctor all this week. Whenever he feels comfortable and feels like I can go out and skate, that's something I'll wait to hear from him."
Crosby was hit in the face with a deflected puck during the Penguins' 2-0 victory over the New York Islanders on March 30. He had surgery to repair a broken jaw and underwent major dental work.
"I didn't see it at all," Crosby said of the shot. "Felt it but didn't see it. It was kind of a weird bounce. Just one of those things that happens."
Up until the injury, Crosby had played in all of Pittsburgh's games this season. Prior to that, he was limited to just 22 regular season games since early 2011 with a variety of concussion-like symptoms and neck issues.
The 25-year-old still leads the league in scoring this season with 15 goals and 41 assists in 36 games.
The Penguins also announced Monday that forward James Neal has been diagnosed with a concussion and will miss the club's upcoming three-game road trip.
Neal was elbowed in the head by New York Rangers defenceman Michael Del Zotto midway through the third period of Friday's 2-1 shootout victory for Pittsburgh.
Defenceman Kris Letang, meanwhile, returned to team practice on Monday. The 25-year-old has missed the past five games with a lower-body injury.
"I'm feeling good" Letang said. "It's exciting to be back and practicing with the boys."
Letang did not have an update on when he could return to the lineup.

We're told a 27 year old man showed up on the porch waving a hatchet. The off-duty officer, who attends the church, came out to help. But, the man with the hatchet came after the officer and started swinging. He struck the officer in the leg, but thankfully not with the blade. Witnesses say the officer fired about 8 shots. Police believe the suspect may be mentally ill. He's in critical condition. The officer was not seriously hurt. No one else was injured.

Midday movers: Apple, Centene, Omnicare
Stocks dip as enthusiasm for Spain's bailout plans peters out.
Apple (AAPL), a stock that is always in focus, is even more in the spotlight as its Worldwide Developer Conference gets set to kick off Monday with a keynote presentation to be delivered by CEO Tim Cook.
Investors, expecting new announcements about Apple's mobile operating system and its MacBook line, pushed the stock higher by 1.25% about an hour before the event began.
Omnicare (OCR) slid 7% after the company's CEO John Figueroa resigned, though the company said its financial guidance for the current year was unaffected by the resignation and the resulting search for a new permanent CEO.
Among the notable gainers were Micronetics (NOIZ), up 94%, on news it will be acquired by Mercury Computer Systems (MRCY) for $14.80 per share, and ZaZa Energy (ZAZA), up over 30%, as the company modified its agreements with Hess (HES), resulting in payments of $85 million and an increase in ZaZa's net acreage in the Eagle Ford region. ZaZa also said it has engaged Jefferies to seek joint venture partners for some of its shale gas assets.
Also higher were shares of Mellanox (MLNX), up more than 5%, following the selection of its adapter silicon for use in certain Intel (INTC) products.
Noteworthy losers included Centene (CNC), down 25%, after lowering its 2012 earnings guidance due to higher medical costs at several of its subsidiaries, and EnergySolutions (ES), which also lowered its 2012 guidance and declined 53%.

The initial shockwave that swept through Connecticut last week after the in Wilton changed to disgust following the decision of area news outlets to publish the graphic 911 recording, during which Mrs. Ramsey told the dispatcher that her husband was lying dead "in a pool of blood."
Patch received access to the tape but did not publish a link to it.
As a American writer who considers the First Amendment our most cherished right, I believe that making 911 tapes available to the public is essential to community safety; however, are we not also human beings? Did the tape need to be released so soon after Mr. Ramsey's tragic demise? And how—if at all—did the tape's release advance the public's understanding of this heinous crime? But if we stop releasing 911 tapes, do we then as a society stop printing upsetting photographs or other stories because their content may offend?
As my left and right brains battled it out, I began wondering what state laws apply to 911 tape releases and what criteria are used when deciding when to release a tape. I found out—through the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press—that Connecticut does not have a statute covering 911 tape releases (unless the tape is recovered as evidence, in which case it is released at trial).
Compare the timing of the Wilton tape release to the timing of the Cheshire home invasion tape release, which didn't occur until Steven Hayes went to trial three years after the crime (the state tried his accomplice, Joshua Komisarjevsky, separately). The tapes from Sept. 11, 2001 weren't released until 10 years later. The judge in the Jennifer Hudson family murders tape released the 911 calls only days ago.
I woke up with the firm intention of listening to each of these tapes, but quite frankly, I didn't have the stomach to hear what must be the worst moments in these family members' and friends' lives. In fact, it was upsetting just reviewing the details of each of these crimes in writing; sound wasn't necessary.
Why would one listen? I can only divine two reasons: insatiable morbid curiosity and professional obligation. I am profoundly grateful for those who listen for professional reasons, because they make our lives safer.
Here's why.
Releasing 911 call details to the public shines a strong light on the inner workings of our dedicated emergency response personnel. Many in our community commented that the 's response time of just under six minutes was unacceptable. Without the tape – or a transcript of it, which may be more appropriate – how would one know whether or not emergency procedures need improvement?
Don't believe me? Check out a recently released report produced for our big city cousin to the south. In New York City, an outside consultant discovered by reviewing 911 tapes that dispatchers not only sometimes send emergency personnel to the wrong address, they often ask eight or more – eight or more! – questions before asking "what is the emergency?"
In the horrific Cheshire home invasion case, Cheshire Police Capt. Robert Vignola was forced to answer Hayes defense attorney questions regarding why police didn't enter the home immediately after arriving at the Petit home—instead taking time to set up a perimeter—despite a bank teller's 911 call more than a half an hour earlier reporting that Jennifer Hawke-Petit withdrew $15,000 to pay men who were holding her family hostage.
One cannot help but wonder if these instances changed first responder protocol; in the Cheshire case, I certainly hope it did.
Both Hayes and Komisarjevsky were sentenced to death for the crimes.
If you can't stand to listen to the tape or read the transcript, don't do it. Or if you did—and you think it's wrong—get involved and encourage your political officials to introduce legislation prohibiting 911 tape releases for a period of time following a newsworthy event out of sensitivity for a suffering family and .
News organizations can certainly exercise sound judgment when requesting and publishing 911 tape information, too. Instead of a graphic audio file, perhaps publishing 911 call transcripts is the better choice.
Freedom of the press is sometimes ugly. But let us be grateful that we have it.

I don't want a long mushy letter in here, I just want to take a minute to ask everyone to pray, please pray hard for Kyle Quist, he is such and good person and unique individual and a friend and his wreck is effecting so many people so strongly, none of us are ready to have to let him go. Maybe if we can all pray hard enough we can send God a strong message letting him know that he is still needed on earth! Pray for his family who is doing a wonderful job holding it together down at the hospital and pray for him to pull through. We just have to look at this as just a minor bump in his, and our, road of life! We love you Kyle, stay strong baby, we still need you! I'm not giving up faith until God makes his final decision!

When Dave Gallion spoke at the candidate's forum at the Blaine Senior Center last Monday, I was impressed by his calm, thoughtful manner, and by his years of experience in management, including management of volunteers, his expertise in budgeting, and his service on Blaine's planning commission. Dave has the time and the intellectual resources to be a real asset on the Blaine City Council; I'm going to vote for him, and I hope you will, too.

The Editor:
Thank you to The Northern Light for holding the candidate's forum last Tuesday evening at the Blaine Senior Center. It provided the public an opportunity to meet the candidates and ask them specific questions.
The manner in which the forum was conducted was conducive to a friendly exchange of ideas. It appeared that most people had an opportunity to hear a response to their question(s).
It became apparent from the discussions that the city of Blaine has specific financial challenges that it must resolve. This was recognized by all city council candidates. The solutions may not be easy but at a minimum those in attendance are aware of the situation.

The siege of Blaine: The October 18 issue of The Northern Light described how southbound border traffic will leave I-5 at the D Street off-ramp and proceed south on Peace Portal Drive to the I-5 on-ramp near Blaine Road.
This 18-month long derangement is gonna make the evacuation in New Orleans look like a stroll in the park. There will be an unimaginable disaster up and down Peace Portal Drive and throughout Blaine's once sleepy streets. The Peace Portal and Blaine Road intersection is already a circus, even without a long train blocking the tracks. Now picture that intersection with gridlock in every direction including traffic jammed onto I-5 exit 274 and dangerously backed up onto the highway.
I suggest that the police department hire more folks for traffic control and road rage incidents, insurance companies should base collision adjusters downtown 24/7, and St. Joseph Hospital base a medivac helicopter at Blaine's famous airport.
R. Warsofsky
(Correction: The on-ramp that will be used is the one at Peace Portal and Marine Drive.)
The Editor:
I wish more people had attended the candidate's forum. They would have seen David Gallion as a thoughtful, quietly, confident council candidate.
The planning commission has proved to be a good training ground for such past councilors as Dieter Schugt and Kathy Stauffer, and now for David Gallion and Harry Robinson as well.
Gallion convinced me that he really does have the ability, time and drive to do a good job for us. It was also evident that Kathy Stauffer will be a very effective fire commissioner. Please vote.

Election time is upon us. We began to pay increasing attention to Blaine politics a few years ago, and for the last few years have been to many of the city council meetings. Having respected John Liebert for many years, we were not surprised to see the dedication and tenacity that he brought to the job.
We were very interested in getting to know the other members of council as well. Two years ago, a candidate named Jason Overstreet was elected to council that we didn't know as well as the other council members.
As his term progressed, it was evident that Jason cared about his responsibilities to the city and that he respected feedback and input from the citizens. As we began to know him personally, Jason's persistence in reading every piece of literature that came his way and in doing thorough research on every issue before him, inspired my husband, Scott Dodd, to want to serve his city, as well.
Scott will be on council this next year and is eager to follow Jason's example of stewardship and responsible accountability for the people and the issues of this city. We are eager for this new era. We are imploring the voters of Blaine to elect socially responsible representatives who do care about the issues and who do their homework in respect to the budget and to the impact of their decisions on this community and its financial future. Jason has been good for the city, just look through the council minutes, and you'll quickly see how intelligent and conscientious he is. We support him and look forward to our future in the council. Go Borderites, Go!

I have great respect for both the authority and professionalism of those who protect our security.
Nevertheless, there is a philosophy of implied national values in Ms. Fearon's statement in The Northern Light (Oct. 18-24) that we, as Americans, need to question: that security is a priority.
The U.S. became the greatest economic and political power in the world precisely because its founders, from Jamestown on, were willing to accept overwhelming odds of failure in order to pursue their dreams of a future. Had new settlers demanded even 50 percent survival odds, probably most would not have made the transoceanic trip. It was this same "Oregon or Bust" determination that drove a new nation west, littering the Oregon Trail with graveyards along the way. Risk-taking, until recently, has been the defining gene in our national DNA. History has probably always been on the side of risk-takers.
Through sheer coincidence, I arrived to both Madrid and London immediately after major terrorist events there. In Spain, particularly, I was drawn into many private and public debates about whether their country should tighten their borders, turn defensive and self-reliant and reverse course in the EU, or continue to pursue a course of increased internationalization. Within days after the Atoche bombing, Spaniards adamantly chose to reaffirm their global future rather than succumb to nationalist fears naturally induced by such acts of terrorism, and voted in a new government. In both England and Spain, I was struck by how quickly people wanted to get on with the future rather than react to or dwell on the past, even though wounds were literally not yet healed.
Just as America was once the country where risk-takers emigrated to pursue their visions, other parts of the world are now tolerating higher levels of risk to their security in order to support what they perceive as the inevitable, if not entirely desirable, process of globalization.
While the U.S. builds a fence on its southern border and new entry ports in the north, Europe is investing in strategies to remove borders to ever expanding frontiers. One has only to compare international currencies over the past couple of years to understand whose side history, as always, is on.
I am not sanguine about risks to our national security. I simply do not believe that short-term security should be a driving motive in our national consciousness.
The issue for me is not the inconvenience of a waiting line; it is the long-term threat that history does not reward risk avoidance. Americans need to rearrange its priorities. We should have no patience with anything that deters our effort to engage with the rest of the world or the future.

I am writing to urge all qualified citizens of Blaine to vote for Harry Robinson for City Council Ward 2 Position 4.
Over the past five years, I have had the pleasure of working with Harry on the Blaine planning commission. As a planning commissioner, Harry has consistently shown his ability to listen to, understand and respect our local citizens' concerns regarding development regulations and proposals, to pinpoint and analyze important land use and zoning issues, and to render decisions that are in the best interests of our community.
Harry also supports the current procedure whereby our planning commission, appointed as the result of a democratic process, can be trusted to make local, community-based decisions and recommendations regarding certain land use and development proposals.
As a Blaine city councilor, Harry will bring his exceptional knowledge, skills and experience to a broader range of issues now facing our city.
I have full confidence that Harry will effectively represent the best interests of the city of Blaine and those of us residing in Ward 2. A vote for Harry is a vote for honesty, reliability and integrity on the city council.

In The Northern Light (October 18-24, 2007), Ms. Hobberlin's letter to the editor begins with the campaign slogan "Let's be wild about Harry," and then goes on to explain the reasons why she supports Mr. Robinson.
The reasons given, as well as Mr. Robinson's campaign ad, both describe the qualities and traits of a very fine citizen. They don't tell me what Mr. Robinson's vision is for Blaine's future.
For me to "be wild about Harry," I must understand Mr. Robinson's vision, which hopefully has been formed through his 14 years of living in the community and his understanding of Blaine's challenges. He should clearly articulate his vision and the strategy needed to achieve it.
In this cynical political season, I would love to "be wild about Harry" or any other candidate.
It would help me greatly to be informed of his accomplishments during his seven years as Blaine's planning commissioner and how that experience informs his plans to "create a city of which we can all be proud."
Precisely because he is running unopposed, the onus is on Mr. Robinson to educate us all about his plans.

In an era of dizzying X-and-O game plans, climate-controlled stadiums and pyrotechnic halftime shows, what could be better than this?
Packers vs. Steelers. Two franchises that conjure images of bruised bodies and blue toes. Two franchises that are like running, banging, grunting history books, one born in 1919, the other in 1933.
One franchise is owned by the Rooney family, the other by 111,968 stockholders. Together, they've combined for 18 league championships, 44 Hall of Famers and two fan bases that unofficially hold all records for beer consumption.
Cue the grainy film and the voice of John Facenda. Green Bay and Pittsburgh will play in the Super Bowl in two weeks. The only unfortunate thing is it will take place in Dallas at Jerry Jones' $1.3 billion Football Stadium and Go-Go Club, which has a retractable roof and a thermostat and a blur of martini bars.
Some frozen field in North Dakota, wood bleachers and a line of kegs would be more appropriate.
The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 21-14 for the NFC championship. The Steelers, after a late-game mini-meltdown, held on to beat the New York Jets 24-19 for the AFC title. Although these are two of the most successful franchises in NFL history, it will be the first time they'll meet for the league championship.
You may not think of this Green Bay team as a "Green Bay" team. The Packers are led by a strong-armed quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who went to Cal-Berkeley.
But they were led Sunday by their defense. Green Bay's two biggest plays of the day: Rodgers' tackle of Chicago's Brian Urlacher at midfield following a third-quarter interception, which probably saved a touchdown; a fourth-quarter interception by the nose tackle B.J. Raji, whose 337-pounds of thundering blubber shook the earth with a fourth-quarter interception and 18-yard return for a touchdown that made it 21-7.
One year after the first Super Bowl between two dome stadium teams — New Orleans vs. Indianapolis – this year's finale will be played between two outdoor teams that have dealt with the elements. Outdoor teams from cold-weather cities generally have overcome more adversity than indoor teams.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank wants an outdoor stadium. Who knows – maybe rain and chill would toughen his team up for future Januarys. Couldn't hurt. Imagine if the Falcons last week were even as tough as Chicago was Sunday.
The Bears trailed Green Bay 14-0 early in the second quarter and looked on the verge of being blown out. But their defense held the Packers' offense scoreless the rest of the game – six punts, two interceptions – and mounted an improbable rally behind Caleb Hanie, an undrafted, third-string quarterback out of Colorado State. Hanie came into the game after Jay Cutler injured his knee and backup Todd Collins flopped. He wasn't always accurate but he showed what we already knew – the NFL postseason is less about finesse than it is survival. He led two Chicago touchdown drives but threw a pick-six to Raji, which turned out to be the difference.
If Falcons' fans are looking for a small measure of solace, there's this: The last three times they have been in the playoffs, they've lost to teams that reached the Super Bowl: Green Bay last week, Arizona in the conference semifinals in 2008 and Philadelphia in the NFC title game in 2004.
Rodgers' dominance at the outset looked similar to last week's 48-21 game in the Georgia Dome. On Green Bay's opening drive, he completed all four of his passes for 76 yards and finished it off with a one-yard touchdown run. But he went only 13 for 26 for 168 yards with two interceptions the rest of the game. The Packers intercepted Hanie and Cutler three times and held Chicago to one third-down conversion. They won with defense.
Offense got the Packers to the playoffs. But defense got them to the Super Bowl. Defense always has been the engine that drives the Steelers.
It should be perfect old-school theater.

So can we now stop ragging on Matt Ryan and the Falcons, considering that the Packers have pretty much manhandled the #1, #2, and #3 seeds?
We got beat by a legit Super Bowl team – with a phenomenal defense and a QB playing out of his mind. That doesn't make the Falcons a bad team – just one that ran into a buzzsaw.
January 23rd, 2011
10:24 pm
Not sure how "old school" Green Bay's spread offense is.
Also, Dave, not sure why you don't like the entertaining, smart and very old school New York Jets.
January 23rd, 2011
10:24 pm
Since there is apparently a need to bring the Falcons into this, it should also be noted that of the Falcons' four losses, two of the opponents are in the Super Bowl. This includes the first loss (Pittsburgh) and the last (Green Bay).
Green Bay didn't need as much passing as they got against the Falcons. They ran the ball much more successfully against the NFL's ninth-ranked Bears defense than they did against Atlanta.
The score was different, Aaron Rodgers' passing totals were different. In the end, both the Bears and the Falcons lost to the Packers who proved they are the best in the NFC right now.
Perhaps this is a good time to proclaim the Bears' season (#2 seed and NFC North champions) a complete failure since they lost at home to the #6 seed Packers just like the Falcons did.

Blank could enlist the help of any good downtown chop shop and cut the lid off that ragtop…
Packers–Steelers : Will the week off hurt the Pack..? There is no other NFC team more deserving. The Steelers, gut check pros when it's on the line. By my count, Atlanta's mighty Falcons went 1-2 against these two this year. Guess the Falcons really did get what they deserved. Early, I like the Packers…
January 23rd, 2011
10:46 pm
Nothing about today makes me feel good about the Falcons.
Sanchez was fairly effective against the Steelers defense in his second year.
Ryan, was freaking horrid. They wet the bed as bad as any team has ever wet the bed.
We spent all week trying to make ourselves feel better about a god awful performance by our hometown team. No, they didn't really have the talent to be where they were, by my gosh man, how often can you obtain the #1 seed and then fall flat on your faces?
Probably the most interesting two teams in the playoffs get to face off. Cool. 2 mobile QB's who are brilliant under pressure. Nice.
Rothlisburger has a bit of that Farve quality of being basically brain dead when it comes to everyday life, but just knowing how to play football.
Rodgers, if he wins this game, will have equaled the championship output of his predecessor in only his 3rd year. Without being an embarassment off the field.
January 23rd, 2011
10:49 pm
These two teams would be fairly similar too if Ryan Grant and Jermichael Finley were healthy.
I think Pittsburgh has better safeties and Green Bay, better corners… but other than that, remarkably similar styles.

Two mobile, strong armed QBs against two aggressive, unpredictable, attacking 3-4 defenses. Should be a good one. We just saw three classic Super Bowls this past decade… hopefully it continues.

This season just proves, as always, that while a good offense my get you there, you can't win Mr. Lombardi's trophy without a top-caliber defense. Unfortunately, it must be illegal in this state to have an elite defense, because neither the pro team or the two college entries have a lick of defense since the 80s

If you like it are not, Matt Ryan will be on this team for a long time. Get over it and move on. The Packers and Steelers have a history of winning. The Falcons donot their trying to build a franchise in a lousy sports town. If we learn anything from this- is you have to have good defenses to take you to the big dance. We must build on that and just shut up.
January 24th, 2011
6:25 am
You've got to be a great sportswriter to hype this game. Both of these teams are capable of looking bad, as both of them did yesterday at times. Neither offense scored a single point in the second half. The Packers defense let the Bears back in the game using a third string quarterback. After watching those two games yesterday, neither team in the "Super" Bowl deserves a championship.

I was hoping for the Bears and the Steelers, but this is almost as good! But instead of Texas, they shoukd be playng in Pittsburgh or in Green Bay. Now that would be really neat!

Ok, I apologize to all for my comments above to this "Matt CHOKE Ryan" character. I should be above this and more sensitive to the possibility of women and young adults reading this. As soon as it popped up I felt bad.
I just absolutely cannot stand this childish imbecile who is always in the attack mode of a very decent person in Matt Ryan, regardless of Ryan's skill in his chosen profession. Worse, I know this is exactly the type of reaction he lives for.
Oh well…sorry!
January 24th, 2011

Hope the Packers win. Other wise we have to hear about the dynasty of the Steelers. Of course, it will be earned, three Super Bowls in six seasons.
January 24th, 2011
7:54 am
Here are the facts:
1) Smitty is a very conservative HC that likes to get an early lead and sit on it
2) Mularkey plans the offensive game plan with Smitty's oversight and approval.
3) BVG plans the defensive game plan with Smitty's oversight and approval. Smitty may be the one actually coming up with the defensive plan.
4) This team over achieved against a weak schedule and underutilized every talent available. On offense: Weems, Ovie, Finneran (more), Antoine Smith (screens, etc. On defense: Franks instead of Owens, replace Lofton with Wire, Coleman at Nickel, etc.).
Someone of you think that Smitty is the best thing since slice bread, but personally I'm not sold on him. He hasn't made the smartest decisions in games at times, his team doesn't make in-game adjustments, and they totally looked unprepared for GB. It's evident to me that this team has issues defending west coast offenses (GB & Philly).
I hope I'm wrong and that this team simply needs more time to develop, but again, Smitty is a very conservative HC (i.e., Reeves, Schottenheimer, etc.). Arthur Blank needs to hold off on any extensions until he sees what Smitty does with this team and his coordinators.
January 24th, 2011
7:55 am
Watching the Bears, behind their 3rd-string QB, give the Packers all they could handle…a week after the Packers blew the Falcons right out of their own stadium…shows how far the Falcons still are from being a legit championship contender.
January 24th, 2011
7:56 am
Who cares, I'm going fishing unti the Braves season starts
January 24th, 2011
7:59 am
One more thing no one ever mentions about Smitty. Did he have a stellar/stout defense when he was the DC with Jacksonville? Did he pick coordinators that he knew would fit his conservative mode? I hear BVG was good at Georgia, but this is big boy football now. Should have brought in a proven DC.

Jeff, good article. The right teams made it to the Super Bowl. The game has the potential to be a great slug fest considering both defensive units.
January 24th, 2011
8:10 am
While I will admit that I like both teams for the most part, I am kind of sick of the traditional teams (especially Steelers) always making it to the Super Bowl, would like to see two more unlikely teams in the SuperBowl, *hint* *hint* Falcons……..
January 24th, 2011
8:20 am
Green Bay has a QB and a leader…the Bears have a TURD. Cutler is the biggest QUITTER in the history of the NFL.
January 24th, 2011
8:23 am
Anyone besides me notice the Mularkey-like offenses that prevailed yesterday?
January 24th, 2011
8:30 am
@Conservative HC I agree on both posts sir. I like Smitty…but are we shaping up to play Marty-ball here ? (Great reg season, trashy post-season) as far as BVG, I've never been sold on him. Excellent for college….maybe not so much for the NFL. But like you said, it all goes back to smitty at the end of the day. I think Mularkey can open it up if allowed to. We saw flashes in the CIN game. They've still done better than any previous regime so lets save our thoughts for ONE more season….
January 24th, 2011
8:35 am

SirReal, that's why I'm taking a wait and see approach to next year.
gabugman, I sure did observe the Steelers getting a lead and sitting on it. Looks very familiar. They're lucky the Jets didn't come back on them and win it.

The Ottawa Senators have landed college free agent forward Stephane Da Costa, signing him to a two-year entry-level contract on Thursday.
General manager Bryan Murray confirmed Da Costa will play in Saturday's game against Toronto.
"(Just) like every other kid I'm sure, it was my dream to play in the NHL," Da Costa said on a conference call. "Of course it was stressful, but I got the right place and the best fit for me I think."
The highly touted 21-year-old forward was scouted by as many as 16 teams at some point this season, according to agent Wade Arnott of Newport Sports.
"I thought it was the best opportunity, a great fit," said Da Costa. "I heard a lot of good things about it - about the city, the organization. I thought that was the best fit for me."
This 5'11, 180 lb, native of Paris, France led the NCAA's Merrimack Warriors in scoring over the past two years, posting back-to-back 45 point seasons. In doing so, he helped lead Merrimack to Division I NCAA school records in wins, points, home wins and road wins.
He was named the Division 1 Rookie of the year in his freshman season and the following year, he helped lead the team to it's first-ever Hockey East Championship with a 25-10-4 record.
Over a two-season collegiate career, Da Costa recorded 30 goals, 60 assists and 83 penalty minutes in 67 games with Merrimack College.
Prior to enrolling at Merrimack, Da Costa played two seasons with the United States Hockey League's Sioux City Musketeers from 2007-08 through 2008-09, where he recorded 43 goals, 61 assists and 45 penalty minutes in 99 games.
He represented his country at last year's IIHF World Hockey Championship but isn't sure if he'll return next month, where France has been drawn into the same pool as Canada.
"It depends on the (Senators)," said Da Costa.
Da Costa becomes the sixth player born in France to play in the NHL, joining Cristobal Huet, Philippe Bozon, Pat Daley, Paul Maclean and Andre Peloffy.

Burn Wise
Agencies -
Great American Wood Stove Changeout
Just 20 old non-EPA-certified wood stoves can emit more than 1 ton of fine particles into your area during the cold months of the year. -EPA
How a Changeout Campaign Works
During a changeout campaign, consumers receive financial incentives (rebates) to replace older appliances with either non-wood-burning equipment (for example, vented gas stoves), pellet stoves, or EPA certified wood stoves. Approximately 10 million wood stoves are currently in use in the United States, and 70 to 80 percent of them are older, inefficient, conventional stoves that pollute. Because EPA certified wood stoves emit approximately 70 percent less pollution than older, conventional wood stoves, a successful changeout campaign will reduce local particulate emissions. In addition, it is estimated that there are 500,000 hydronic heaters (outdoor wood boilers) in the US. Those units that meet EPA's Hydronic Heater Voluntary Program emit 70-90 percent less pollution than units that are not EPA qualified.
The costs of many local changeout programs, including advertising, are covered by a partnership of government agencies, gas utilities, and manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. In some areas the rebates to consumers amount to 10 percent to 15 percent of the purchase price of the new appliance. Several areas have implemented wood stove changeout programs and many are exploring the feasibility of hydronic heater and fireplace changeouts.
We have developed this guide for you to use to determine whether it is feasible for your jurisdiction to develop and implement a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign. This material will provide you with the following information:
What is a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign?
How do I know if my area is a candidate for a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign?
What is the process for developing and implementing a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign?
- Identify potential partners.
- Identify sources of funding.
- Develop a project plan.
- Implement the Wood Stove Changeout Campaign.
- Measure success.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the Adobe PDF files on this page. See EPA's PDF page for more information about getting and using the free Acrobat Reader.
Changeout Information
Arizona Changeout - Residents of Apache and Navajo counties can receive a rebate for trading out their existing coal stove or non-EPA certified wood stove. More information.
Algaaciq Tribal Government- The Native Village of St. Mary's Algaaciq Tribal Government received a Community Environmental Demonstration Project grant to replace old non-compliant wood-stoves with EPA-certified stoves in 12 homes. More information
Dane County, WI- Dane County Clean Air Coalition launches a Burn Wise Education and Wood Stove Changeout Program More information
Faribanks, AK- The Air Quality Improvement Program is offering reimbursement incentives for removing , replacing or repairing home heating devices. More information
Pittsfield, MA- Interprint Inc.has agreed with federal authorities to pay $80,000 in penalties as well as contribute $305,000 to replace old, high-pollution wood stoves with cleaner substitutes. More information
Wood Stove Changeout Programs - A comprehensive list of changeouts that are happening around the country.
What is a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign?
- A Wood Stove Changeout Campaign is a mechanism you can use to reduce the amount of air pollution from wood smoke in your area.
- This voluntary program can be an effective way to reduce emissions of particulates and air toxics.
- A Wood Stove Changeout Campaign provides information and incentives (e.g., rebates or discounts) to encourage people to replace their old, conventional wood stove with an EPA-certified wood-burning appliance that burns more cleanly and efficiently, including pellet, gas, and propane appliances.
- We are also available to answer questions and provide support. Notify us when you decide that your area will plan and implement a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign.
How do I Know if my Area is a Candidate for a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign?
By implementing a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign, you can improve air quality within your area, reduce the amount of sickness associated with residential wood smoke, and improve visibility. Check out information related to the emissions reductions from EPA-certified wood stoves (PDF) (3pp, 113k). Also, EPA's AIRNow Web site provides the public with easy access to national air quality information.
Criteria that may make your area a candidate for a Wood Stove Changeout Campaign (PDF) (2pp, 61k) include:
- Your area has high amounts of air pollution, especially particle pollution, of which PM2.5 is a part. EPA uses the Air Quality Index (AQI) as an indicator of the amount of air pollution present in the atmosphere. Also, EPA's AIRNow Web site provides the public with easy access to national air quality information.
- Your area has been designated as nonattainment for PM2.5. Learn more information on PM 2.5 nonattainment areas.
- Your community is located within a geography and topography that makes it susceptible to high levels of PM2.5 (e.g., a community in a "bowl" can get "smoked in" during the winter).
- There is a significant number of wood-burning appliances (e.g., wood stoves and fireplaces) used in your area. Consider the various types of burning that occur in your community and whether people burn for heating or aesthetic purposes. EPA has developed a fact sheet (PDF) (2pp, 160k) that identifies sources of information for estimating the number of wood-burning appliances.
- Your community has a high concentration of minority and/or low-income populations that could realize health benefits from a changeout campaign. EPA has developed the Environmental Justice Geographic Assessment Tool that allows you to quickly determine whether your jurisdiction may have high minority or low-income populations.

The book did this item no justice. It arrived quickly and secured in a beautiful box. It's a nice weight and just beautiful. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that I couldn't choose the font for all of the lettering and that it couldn't be in color. We love it!
