To the editor:
The 84th Beaver Community Fair was viewed a success by the directors and fair goers. Directors had been skeptical of the outcome of erecting the fence to begin collecting an admission fee. The group from the music boosters and directors found a few minor glitches that were easily corrected and new ideas for future years. The directors believe they can build on these ideas.
Penn Valley Amusements provided the rides. The midway was a great hit with the kids as well as most of the adults. The entertainment kept the audiences tapping their toes and clapping their hands.
Mrs. Margie Krebs was presented with the Ambassador Award. Each fair may nominate an individual who over the years has demonstrated guidance and knowledge of the makings of a great fair.
Jeanette Blank was crowned Fair Queen. Ms. Blank will represent the Fair in Hershey in January.
Alexis Kline was selected as Junior Fair Queen. During their reign, some of the responsibilities will be to speak at schools, radio stations and to organizations concerning farms, farm products and the Beaver Fair.
If any young lady would like to be in next year's queen contest, check out the fair website for more information.
Due to the weather this spring and summer, crops were not as plentiful that resulted in decrease numbers in these categories. Judges indicated this fair was not the only one to feel the after effects of the weather. ATV, truck and tractor pulls had a large number of entries in their competitions. ATV raffle winners were Mark Madara, Gerald Markley and Jodi Bremigen.
Elections have been completed with Levi Aurand and Doug Boop re-elected to president and first vice president, respectfully. Steve Shea was elected second vice president. The secretary will be Ashley Hassinger. Returning directors will be Glen Gardner, Greg Brouse as well as new directors being Darren Krebs and Donald Athey.
If anyone from the community would like to be nominated for future position as director, please submit a letter of interest. Also anyone interested in assisting the superintendent of the buildings or departments please submit a letter of interest.
The directors would like to thank everyone who made this year's fair a success. Donations of time and or money would be greatly accepted and appreciated. If you want to get updates on activities and meetings of the Beaver Fair, go to our website at beaverfair.org.

You've seen the sketti. You redneck-ognize their special brand of Southern cuisine. But you've never had a chance to smell the world Honey Boo Boo and her quirky clan inhabit – until now.
TLC has revealed that the July 17 season premiere episodes of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will be a "Watch 'n Sniff" event. They even got family matriarch – and onetime Baywatch impersonator – "Mama June" Shannon to explain how it works.
"Get your card. When you see the number on your TV, scratch the corresponding number, take big whiff and see what you smell," she explains in her signature drawl.
"Watch 'n Sniff" cards, featuring six potentially pungent scents, will be available first in PEOPLE's July 15 issue, which hits newsstands July 5. Cards will also be available at select Time Warner Cable retail stores across the country, and handed out by street teams in major markets.

The future of the Trico Complex could hinge on whether the Common Council votes to designate the former windshield wiper manufacturing plant a local landmark.
A public hearing on whether Trico Plant No. 1, a group of buildings at 791 Washington St., should get landmark status will be held at 2 p.m. today in Council Chambers in City Hall. Lawmakers might not vote on the issue today.
Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen said he is eager to hear from Fruit Belt residents who live nearby to help him determine his opinion.
"It's going to be important for me to hear from them, the people who actually live in that area," he said.
A group of Fruit Belt residents is meeting April 22 in City Hall and will advise the Council on development issues in their neighborhood, which is adjacent to the southeastern end of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
The Medical Campus agreed in November to save the trademark portion of the building that bends around Washington Street onto Goodell Street, reversing an earlier plan that would have brought down the entire complex.
But those plans call for Medical Campus developers to tear down the remaining four buildings to make way for an expansion of its Innovation Center.
Local preservationists, however, want the former complex to be designated a local landmark, which would give the community more control over its future.
In addition, demolishing too much of the complex could jeopardize valuable state historic tax credits, which are generally viewed as vital to making any redevelopment feasible.
In May, the Council considered an application from the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture to designate the complex as a local landmark, but took no action.
"It's tantamount to saying 'no' to it really," said Preservation Board Chairman Paul McDonnell.
The Preservation Board on Thursday again held a public hearing, this time on an application prepared by the board, and voted to designate the complex a local landmark.
The former factory has already been placed on state and national historic registers, but those designations do not influence the future of the complex unless state or federal funds are used, McDonnell said.
The complex, constructed in phases from 1920 to 1950, represents historic architecture and a significant piece of the city's history, as the place where Trico windshield wipers were made, according to preservationists.
The Council should decide whether the building meets the criteria for local landmark status, and not be influenced by political or economic developmental considerations, said Preservation Board Member Timothy Tielman.
If the Council grants local landmark status to the building, the city's Preservation Board would have a vote over changes to the building, from additions to demolition.
The building is owned by the Buffalo Brownfield Restoration Corp., a city agency that is a subsidiary of the Buffalo Urban Development Corp., but the Medical Campus has controlled the building since November 2007 under a designated developer agreement, which expires in November.

Geoffrey Arthur, executive director of Valley Prevention Services, realizes that in order to prevent kids from abusing drugs and alcohol, they need to be reached before the age of first use.
The alarming age of 13, according to Arthur, is when youngsters have reported is the first time they have tried cigarettes and alcohol, and between 14 and 15 is the age for first-use of marijuana.
Armed with this information based on a 2011 survey of more than 2,000 youth in Lycoming County, Valley Prevention Services offers its "Too Good for Drugs" program to local second- and third-grade students.
The curriculum pairs the importance of positive self-esteem with having an understanding of which grown-ups to turn to for guidance, as well as basic information regarding substance abuse. The follow-up program, "Get Real About Tobacco," is offered to fourth-grade students.
"When young people feel good about themselves, they have more confidence in making decisions, therefore, self-esteem is very important," Arthur said. "Part of building self-esteem in youth is rewarding the young person when they make good decisions. This reward or acknowledgement can happen at home, in school, by neighbors or community members of the young person. A young person is more likely to repeat the positive behavior if they are recognized and rewarded for it."
Children also need to know that there are people "on their side" who support them, he added.
"It's therefore important that a child knows how to reach out to others when they are having difficulty," Arthur said. "They need to know that they can reach out to a parent or close relative, a teacher or guidance counselor, their pastor, etc., and that these people will be there to help them."
Pascha Ferry, a curriculum instructor, meets with classes twice a week for five weeks. There are 10 lessons for each grade level, with each lesson lasting between 40 to 45 minutes.
Valley Prevention focuses its attention on offering age-appropriate curriculum. According to Arthur, the lessons and skills that are taught to a second-grader are different than what should be taught to a fifth-grader. What is most important is that the child can relate to the information that is being presented to them.
"For example, we would not talk about drinking and driving with an 8-year-old because they really cannot relate to the behavior of drinking and driving in their everyday life," Arthur said. "However, we can teach the children about how to deal with uncomfortable feelings in a positive way or how to set goals."
The lessons flow so that the program focuses on decision-making skills and goal setting in its early lessons and how to apply these skills as it relates to resisting alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in its later lessons.
Programs now are offered at Williamsport, Loyalsock Township and Montgomery Area school districts, but Arthur said with more funding, Valley Prevention could reach even further.
"There is no child that is totally immune from becoming involved in alcohol, tobacco and other drugs," he said. "Prevention is so important. We know that if we take a flu shot, we are less likely to get the flu. We know now that when children receive a sound, evidence-based program like 'Too Good for Drugs,' they are less likely to become involved in alcohol and other drugs. More funding means healthier decisions by children and healthier children."
Valley Prevention evaluates each service that is provided. The children are given a pre-test before the first lesson and a post-test after the last lesson, allowing the facilitators to gain knowledge on what the child has learned. The children also are asked to complete an attitude survey during the final lesson. The children can tell, in their own words, what they learned and what had the biggest impact on them. A written evaluation is later mailed to the classroom teacher, asking for feedback on the program. The pre- and post-tests consistently come back with improved learning of not only the information but the skills the children learned, Arthur said.
"The children often note in the attitude survey that the best part of the program was learning the resistance or refusal skills," he said. "We just received a teacher evaluation in which the teacher wrote 'Currently, as third graders, the students remembered the ['Too Good For Drugs'] lessons from the second grade. Impressive!! Thank you!!' Because of Lycoming County United Way funding, we are able, as is the case at this school, to provide the 'Too Good for Drugs' programs in consecutive grades to the children. The research tells us that when a child has the lessons in consecutive grades, the information and skills has an even greater effect."
"Providing support for the Valley Prevention programs is a lot like the old proverb 'Give a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime,' " said LCUW executive director Scott N. Lowery. "In today's society we need to do much more than tell youngsters to say no to drugs. We need to educate them on the dangers substance abuse will mean to their lives. It can't be done in gray areas, it needs to be personal to make an impact. Valley Prevention provides classroom education to equip the kids with the resistant skills they need to stay away from alcohol, tobacco and drugs. This information is needed to combat the peer pressure to experiment that young people are exposed to."
"Without United Way funding, this program would not be provided at the schools and with the children that are receiving it," Arthur said. "Literally, hundreds of children are receiving 10 lessons each."
"Our annual campaign provides funding to vital programs that affect the everyday lives of so many people in Lycoming County. We are entering the home stretch of our campaign and still need about $750,000 to enable us to maintain the human services that were used last year 46,379 times by county residents. Helping us help others can be done with a gift to this year's campaign," Lowery said.

A perfect weekend in Solothurn
From the 16th to the 18th centuries, the Catholic town of Solothurn was the residence of the French king's ambassador. Fine Baroque and Renaissance buildings, such as the noble Palais Besenval, and magnificent religious buildings meet the visitor at every end and turn – the Old Town has eleven churches and chapels and the same number of fountains and towers. Truly magnificent is the St.Urs Cathedral, with an Italian-style staircase in front. Inside are wonderful Baroque stuccos. The town walls, which are still intact in some places, were built according to the principles of the French military engineer Vauban.
Between the beautiful historic monuments, the patrician buildings and the sturdy fortifications, the traffic-free Old Town is a pleasant place to wander, with lots of small shops and inns. On warm summer evenings, it is very pleasant to sit in the garden restaurants and bars by the Aare.
The town has a range of cultural attractions going far beyond the regional, including the Solothurn Film and Literature Days. The museums range from the History Museum to the internationally acclaimed Natural History Museum, a Museum of Stones, the ENTER PC Museum and Schloss Waldegg, not to mention a collection of sentimental light fiction. Finally, in the «Old Arsenal» is one of the largest weapons collections in Europe.
Children feel perfectly at home in Solothurn. And the Natural History Museum is particularly popular with families and a fascinating way of viewing the region's animal, plant and mineral life. Utterly unique are the 150 million year old fossilized turtles from the quarries of the city, the beautiful starfish from Weissenstein and of course the famous Lommiswil dinosaur tracks.
A little outside the town is the romantic Verena gorge with its chapel and hermitage, a popular destination for walkers. Hikers and cyclists will find an extensive network of footpaths and 600 km of cycle tracks in the surrounding area and along the Aare. Solothurn is on two national cycle routes: the Mittelland Route and the Aare Route.
This is Switzerland's finest Baroque city with its Old Town alleys, dotted with magnificent buildings, decorative fountains and towers – a delight to explore on leisurely strolls or admire from the atmospheric street cafés.
The culturally rich city has a special charm during the Christmas season. The exhibition of the Solothurn «Ambassador crib», an ensemble of charming crib figures, is a delight to the eye and soul – and the idyllic «Chlausemärt» (St. Nicholas Christmas market) on the downtown cemetery space is yet another great attraction.
Here, on the oldest square of the city, around 70 beautifully decorated stalls sell beautiful Christmas gifts. Culinary delights are also well taken care of, whether with a cup of warming mulled wine or delicious grilled dishes. The Solothurn «Weihnachtsmäret» (Christmas market) takes place on the outskirts of Solothurn.
- Old Town – one of the finest and most compact Old Towns in Switzerland, with many Baroque highlights and a marked French influence.
- St. Urs Cathedral – made of pale Solothurn marble, is the most important Early Classical building in Switzerland, and has 11 altars.
- Museum of Fine Art – important collection of Swiss Art from 1850 onwards, with works by Cuno Amiet, Ferdinand Hodler, Bernhard Luginbühl, Meret Oppenheim, Jean Tinguely.
- Boat ride on the Aare (in summer) – to the Stork Colony in Altreu and via Büren, whose Old Town features in the National Inventory of Heritage Sites, to bilingual Biel/Bienne.
- Weissenstein – Solothurn's home mountain (1291 m) and the Hotel Kurhaus Weissenstein – are reached in just 10 minutes by panoramic gondola. Unique views of central Switzerland and the Alps. Hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and sledging.
Top Events
- Solothurner Film Days – important platform for Swiss films; independent film producers are well represented here; awarding of the Swiss Film Prize (January).
- Solothurn Carnival – «Chesslete», torch-lit procession through the Old Town, the participants wear white nightshirts and make a deafening noise. Masked balls, burning of the Böögg (February/March).
- Biertage – an invitation from 20 breweries to celebrate Swiss beer culture during the 9th Solothurn beer days (April).
- Bike Days – more than 26,000 visitors are likely to view this world of bikes and gather information about the current and future Planet Bike (May).
- Solothurn Literature Days – a forum for contemporary writing in Switzerland (on Ascension weekend, May).
- Solothurn Classics – stands for high-standing opera presentations and concerts (June).
- Art Supermarket – the works of both young and more famous artists are presented and sold here (November-January).

The Neo-Positivist Concept of International Law
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
American Journal of International Law, Vol. 59, p. 321, 1965
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 11-06
The question "Is international law really law?" has not proved troublesome, according to Hart, because "a trivial question about the meaning of words has been mistaken for a serious question about the nature of things." Hart defends international law in Bentham's terms as "sufficiently analogous" to municipal law. It is important to see in what way this analogy is viewed by Hart in order to determine whether the reasoning he offers is too high a price to pay for accepting a neo-positivist into the circle of those who hold that international law is really law.

The last statement of the my previous post refers to the fact that in general, military inductees of either sex are not any different than college age and older high school students. The have the same dreams as any other american youth, and more important, their hormones are raging. These factors can be tolerated and overcome in units where close combat is not a primary mission, but in an army or marine unit it is a distraction that can have a dire effect on unit readiness. I can come at this issue from a couple other directions and come to the same conclusion, women should not be allowed in infantry combat units, even if they feel it is there choice.

I also served in the Air Force with women. With 12 years experience in the matter, I could relate some factual anecdotes that would really make the leftists mad. I will say this, in my 12 year career, some of the best, most dedicated NCO's that I served with, were were women. As a matter of fact my wife is a 12 year Air Force veteran, an aircraft crew chief. In my specialty many a man was assigned to other duties because they didn't have the size and strength required to do the job. When women came on board, the physical standards were lowered, in order for them to qualify for the position. My duty did not entail combat, and in most cases lack of physical strength could be overcome by mechanical means or by simply getting some help. Any one that believes that the physical difference between men and women would not be a factor in combat, is an idiot. Not to mention factors such as unit cohesion, moral, and readiness.

"Has any one commenting ever served with women in a military setting? And I don't mean in combat. "
Yes, I was USN for 10 years. 4 on 2 different ships, 3 at shore duty and 2 in the Reserves. Luckily, I never had to deal with all the issues that surround having a mixed crew. My first was a sub tender, generally mixed, but since I was home ported out of Italy, we had no women. My 2nd was a combatant, so no women. However, my combatant ship is now mixed. I've heard my old berthing is now the female berth. I did interact with and have experience with women during A-school, shore duty and the reserves, but telling my experiences and opinion will just set everyone off again, so I'll keep silent on that, unless provoked..LOL

Remember a few months back when that female journalist was nearly abducted right out of a crowd of protestors. I think it was in Egypt. She wasn't even in combat, but just being an American woman overseas nearly got her abducted. Gee, I wonder what they had in mind for her. I know the media doing their jobs is a whole different topic and unrelated, but my point is the mindset of many countries and their men towards Americans and specifically American women.

Why not use Maj. Rhonda Cornum, she was the pilot of a Black Hawk in Desert Storm? She survived torture and rape.
My main point exactly. She was raped. I have all the respect and admiration for her as a proven and experienced one star general, but again, I don't want our women captured and raped. Is it possible she never makes General if not for her experience in combat? Perhaps, but sorry, I say so-be-it. I don't want a pack of scum bag terrorists or other future enemies putting bullets in the heads of the surviving male captives, but dragging the surviving (or possibly even dead) women off only so they can get their jollies.

"I have come to the conclusion that women will have to join the draft."
That is where this will eventually end up thanks to Panetta and the Democrats. notSocialist the republicans started this. They are the ones that wanted to lift the ban from the Pentagon control and policy. The Republicans had the right idea just wasn't quick enough with it. They wanted to lift the ban but yet give control to the military that would allow them to determine if a woman could cut the mustard. As usual the Republicans didn't want to make any choices for any woman except to offer the open door of opportunity for equal rights but yet allowing these women to make that choice. Where they went from that point was up to them to cut the mustard.
Democrats would have lost a lot of votes with that move. Women who support women in the military and women choosing to join the military.
Why do you think Panetta did it? Out the door decision? Look who is going to replace him. A Republican.

Kozy it has always been about votes and how many they can get. Right and wrong of the issue isn't even the equation anymore. It's the war on words and the National Media is having a hay day with it. This stuff angers me. Look at this next line.
"Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
That statement is a line from President Obama's inauguration speech. It was two hours after he said it, it was on every national media station claiming that President Obama was the first president in history to support GAY MARRIAGE.
That statement Obama used was a direct quote that belonged to MLK. The only word that was changed by Obama's speech writer was he changed out the word "BLACK" and replaced it with the word "GAY".
The deception is horrible and how voters, especially gays fell for it.

Like a young lady who said the other day how grateful she was for MLK...when I told her that he was a republican and that he wanted color blindness not preference, she said she had no idea. Then yesterday she said that it was great that all women now had a chance to move up in the military and I asked her what had changed...she had no idea. So, I said that with the new liberal military policy towards women that her four girls would be subject to the draft if it were reinstated and she said no way.
I'm finding most often that liberals win through lies or deception. If the truth were know, liberals would be run out of town.

"I think my fellow conservatives missed this little gem."
I didn't miss it. I just don't respond to the same boring argument that Democrats escape to when they are losing credibility in their fights. That is what they use to side track. The best part I find comical when they use the term "adminstration". There are less minorities in Obama's administration than there were under Bush. Those racist accusations don't work anymore. Especially when you have Blacks screaming they won't ever vote for another white man again. Pointless.

Kozy there is more behind this "on the way" out the door decision made by Panetta. There has to be more to this. Women are already serving on the "battle front" that is why this whole issue baffled me from the start. That is why I tossed in the define "battle front" remark. Even the poll question was odd. We already have women in combat. Just a few weeks ago, they had a women platoon leader for the military in a congressional hearing testifying for the fight for military funding. She had just got back from Afghanistan. Like I said earlier in my comments. Something is not right with this whole issue. I just think it's a political stunt for Dems to wage war on the Republicans.

Mtlhed you keep using Jessica Lynch's capture as reference and I'm curious as to why? We all know why the media frenzy squared off on her.
Why not use Maj. Rhonda Cornum, she was the pilot of a Black Hawk in Desert Storm? She was on a rescue mission for a fighter jet pilot that was shot down inside of enemy lines. Her mission, this one of many she had flown unfortunately turned her into a POW along side the already captured 22 other men. Doesn't her successful missions account for anything as a woman? She was captured and released with those other men. She survived torture and rape. Today she is now a Brigadier general and a director of Comprehensive Soldier Fitness, the Army's authority on resiliency training for men and women alike. Can you not find any respect and admiration for this woman?

All I'm saying is that certain folks whether men or women don't now have a choice based upon the liberal agenda to force women to be the same as the guys. I'll bet there are some gals who will be fierce up front leading the charge toeards the enemy but some will not. Before this they had choices...now not so. It just shows how the progressive/liberals do not care about anybodies choices...it's all about their agenda.

WASHINGTON � September�s lower unemployment rate breaks the 8 percent psychological and political barrier that has stubbornly dogged Barack Obama through his presidency, halting the kind of stagnant high joblessness that has weighed down past presidents seeking re-election in economically troubled times.
For Obama, the trend line now looks more like Ronald Reagan�s in his successful re-election in 1984 than Jimmy Carter�s in his losing effort in 1980.
The 0.3 percentage point drop to 7.8 percent unemployment last month comes at a welcome time for Obama, one month before Election Day and less than 36 hours after he delivered a lackluster debate performance that reinvigorated the campaign of Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
�The main effect of this particular number is going to be primarily political,� said Bruce Bartlett, an economist in President George H.W. Bush�s administration. �It gives Obama a talking point, something to get people�s attention off his debate performance.�
�As long as people are seeing improvement,� Bartlett added, �at least some voters are going to say to themselves, �Well, best not to switch horses in the middle of the stream.��
A recent Associated Press-GfK poll found that the vast majority of voters already have settled on a candidate, but 17 percent of likely voters are considered persuadable � either because they�re undecided or showing soft support for Obama or Romney.
About 56 percent of persuadables approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president, but fewer, 47 percent, approve of his handling of the economy.
Moreover, a Pew Research Center survey in September found only two issues rated as �very important� for more than 80 percent of voters: 87 percent rated the economy that way and 83 percent placed jobs in that category.
John Sides, a political scientist at George Washington University who has examined the intersection of economic data and politics, said Obama could benefit simply from the good media coverage the jobs numbers might get after a debate where his performance was panned.
�It changes the story line, but that may be what affects voter behavior in the end,� Sides said. �A small number of undecided voters may be sensitive to good news and bad news about the two candidates. In that way the good economic news is helpful for Obama.�
The new threshold, which drops unemployment to a level unseen since Obama took office in January 2009, carries more political than economic weight. The Labor Department reported that employers added 114,000 jobs in September, slightly better than expected but still below levels needed to sustain a reduction in unemployment. The long-term unemployment rate was little changed at 4.8 million.
Jobs have been a central theme in this election. The words �job� and �jobs� were among the most frequently mentioned in Wednesday�s debate in Denver, uttered at a rate of more than once every two minutes in a 90-minute showdown.
Carter lost his re-election bid to Reagan in 1980 as unemployment climbed from 6 percent in October 1979 to 7.5 percent in October 1980.
George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton in 1992 in the midst of rising unemployment, which went from 6.9 percent September 1991 to 7.6 percent in September 1992.
Obama can now hope he is more like Reagan in 1984, who won re-election with a jobless rate of 7.3 percent in September of that year, after dropping from 8 percent nine months earlier.
The jobs news also had the effect of overshadowing a new estimate that put the deficit for the just-completed 2012 budget year at $1.1 trillion, the fourth straight year of trillion-dollar deficits under Obama�s tenure.
If Obama had a silver lining, Romney saw darker signs in the data.
�This is not what a real recovery looks like,� Romney declared, focusing on a lesser noticed detail in the report that showed that rate of people employed or actively seeking employment has dropped from when Obama took office.
It will take new polling, and ultimately the election results, to determine whether this new unemployment report will affect the election. Obama and Romney entered Wednesday�s debate running about evenly among those most likely to vote, with most polls in the last couple of weeks putting Romney a few points behind nationally. Several battleground states were neck and neck, but Obama appeared to hold comfortable leads in New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Past, bleaker monthly reminders of joblessness had not markedly altered the trajectory of the presidential campaign.

I know this is going to come off ruff, but I do not know how to make it nicer. I am mixed on this. It seems that Russell has a good heart on this movement, but to have your kid involved at such a young age. I do not agree with what he did with his child. Is that not doing the samething as what this Kony is doing to the young children there? I also wonder (and supported by the black writers) if we need to keep sticking our nose into other ppls problems. We can't even fix our own crap in our own country!
The black writers mostly don't want our help, so why do we do it? Do we think that they don't know what is good for themselves? Do we really know all the facts in this situation or are we just going off our own heart strings? Also want to know why American's don't open up their own back doors and see that this crap is going on in our own nation? Why is it that we can turn a blind eye to our situation, but be all up in another nation's butt for the samething?

Regardless of state, country, race, or gender I believe we should do what's right no matter the situation. I refuse to turn a deaf ear to anyone in need. Everything is not fixable but that doesn't deter me from being a voice to those who have none. In the time you spent, I'm sorry to say," voicing your opinion", you could have been advocating for someone whom you deem worthy of your support. Please take the time to help advocate for those that you need your voice, instead of wasting it trying to take away from a cause that I felt is attention worthy.

My name is Alyce Townsend. I have lived in Spencer, Iowa for the last 6 and half years. I'm originally a small town girl from Primghar but moved to Spencer because of the big city shopping with small town appeal. Okay, maybe that's not the whole truth. I hate driving in snow. Living in Spencer allows me to never have to leave town in the winter! I'm a 26 year old mother of three children ages 6, 5, and 4. Yes, that's how old they are. Yes, I know. Please stop laughing. I am currently enrolled in Iowa Lakes Community College for my Business Degree with hopes for someday having my own online clothing store. When I'm not doing homework, chasing kids, or cleaning house I love to write. Writing is my release and I currently have been working on screenplays I hope will someday become Oscar worthy motion pictures. I must warn you that I do at times have a twisted sense of humor, so I hope that when reading my blogs of whatever topic I may joke about, you leave with a smile and a whole new perspective!

West Virginia University's basketball coaches paid tribute Monday to Roy Simms, the local sports legend, coach and mentor who passed away Saturday.
"Our state has lost a great man," WVU coach Bob Huggins told The Inter-Mountain Tuesday. "Roy loved this state and the people of our state. He constantly mentored and helped young people in need."
Simms, 52, an assistant basketball coach at Davis & Elkins College, collapsed during a D&E practice Saturday afternoon.

West Virginia University's basketball staff attend a benefit dinner for Roy Simms in October. Show from left are, assistant coach Ron Everhart, assistant coach Billy Hahn, associate director of strength and conditioning Andy Kettler, video coordinator Josh Eilert, Simms, head coach Bob Huggins, associate head coach Larry Harrison and assistant coach Erik Martin. Simms, a former Elkins High School star athlete and coach, and current Davis &?Elkins College assistant men's basketball coach, died Saturday after collapsing during a practice session at the McDonnell Center.
Simms, who loved the university, attended many WVU basketball games and often visited the team in the locker room.
"He would always bring players and athletes to Morgantown," WVU associate head coach Larry Harrison said. "He always went out of his way to help kids out."
Simms was known for organizing youth sports camps for local youth.
"He asked if we could help with the camp and bring our team down to help," Harrison said. "We loved going down and helping the young kids out and helping out with the clinics."
An outstanding Elkins High School athlete who starred in basketball and football, Simms was head basketball coach at EHS for two seasons before taking the assistant coaching position at D&E this year.
Simms learned over the summer he was in need of a heart and kidney transplant. In October, Huggins and his coaching staff attended a benefit dinner for Simms in Elkins that raised close to $50,000 dollars.
"Roy's wife and a couple of his friends called us up and asked us if we could help them out," Harrison said. "We were glad that we were able to help them out and raised more for him."
Simms' memorial service is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 at Harper-McNeeley Auditorium. A social for family and friends will follow at Halliehurst.

Authorities in Pasco County say a 54-year-old man held down his 80-year-old girlfriend and tried to "exorcise her and the get the devil out of her."
David Edward Benes remained in jail Thursday following his arrest on charges that include domestic battery on a person older than 65, tampering with a witness and false imprisonment.
Deputies say Benes took the batteries out of the house phones to keep his girlfriend from calling for help, and he took her car keys.
Arrest reports show the exorcism continued Tuesday. Deputies found the woman sitting outside crying, with scratches on her arms. Benes was too drunk to remember what happened. He told deputies his girlfriend started the fight because "she is crazy."

Again, I'm not a genie, and I can't tell you how this thing's gonna turn out. But at the end of the day, this is an enjoyable Penn State team to watch, and I can tell you Bill O'Brien has done a heck of a job.
Everybody always did a Joe Paterno voice impression, and the preceding was a verbal homage to all the phrases O'Brien repeatedly says.
Here's another phrase we could be hearing about O'Brien at the end of the season: National Coach of the Year.
He deserves it at the midway point, for many reasons, and not just for coaching up the Nittany Lions and leading them to four consecutive wins following an 0-2 start.
And it doesn't take a genie to predict that if Penn State wins four more games to finish 8-4, O'Brien absolutely will be in the discussion for top coach in the country and very well could win it.
Some national media started the O'Brien campaign Saturday night on Twitter, following the Lions' come-from-behind 39-28 win over No. 24 Northwestern. A sampling of tweets:
* Dennis Dodd, CBSSports.com: "Going to go ahead and say it since PSU is off next week. Halfway through the season, Bill O'Brien. Coach. Of. The. Year."
* College Football Talk: "Penn State comeback gives Bill O'Brien our early Coach of the Year vote."
* ESPN announcer Dave Pasch: "I said it on air--Bill O'Brien should get national coach of the year consideration."
* ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit: "Bill O'Brien early front runner for Big 10 coach of the year with all that he and his team have had to overcome!"
Four wins already. Four more needed to really have a good shot at the honor. Frequently going for it on fourth down. Keeping with that theme, here are four reasons why O'Brien has been the best coach in the country so far:
SUBHD: 1. Circumstances
The fact that Penn State even has a competitive team and didn't lose many, many more transfers after the NCAA sanctions is due largely to O'Brien doing a phenomenal job communicating and motivating the young men on the team to stick it out, have faith in their school, their teammates and their coaching staff and try to show the world that PSU football is not dead.
It's not even debatable: No college coach in the country did a better job from January through August than O'Brien. While everyone from Alabama's Nick Saban to Oregon's Chip Kelly and all other potential coach of the year candidates were fine-tuning their fantastic football teams throughout the spring and summer, O'Brien's main task was simply trying to keep his team together and keep his players focused on football while their lives were filled with incredible turmoil.
SUBHD: 2. Expectations
Virtually no one outside of Happy Valley gave this Penn State team much of a chance to do anything this season, and they appeared to be right after the 0-2 start with losses to Ohio and Virginia.
But as many have pointed out, if not for a tipped pass that bounced right to an Ohio receiver for a TD and a kicker having one of the worst days imaginable, the Lions probably would be 6-0 right now.
The Vegas line entering the season was 5 1/2 wins for PSU. Even Herbstreit said on the air before the season that if the Lions go 7-5, O'Brien might be the national coach of the year.
Penn State will have a chance to win every game remaining on the schedule because of its good offense, strong defense and the overall weakness in the Big Ten. As I've said before, the Lions also could lose to anyone left on the schedule, too, so getting four more wins will be very difficult.
But if they do, they will have far exceeded just about everyone's expectations.
SUBHD: 3. Motivation
This season could have collapsed after the 0-2 start.
Sure, it helped that Navy was the opponent in week three, followed by Temple. Penn State should have won those games easily because it still has much more talent than those teams, and it did.
Going to Illinois and putting a smackdown on the Illini showed that the players still have a fire in their bellies, a fire that has been stoked perfectly since day one by O'Brien.
Saturday's win over Northwestern wasn't a great victory because, well, Northwestern isn't a great team by any stretch. But to look up at the scoreboard and be trailing by 11 points in the fourth quarter and still fight back, that's a testament to everyone's determination.
Maybe there are a lot of teams in the country that could rally from an 11-point deficit against Northwestern. Few, however, could muster that kind of gritty comeback given everything that these PSU players have been through.
SUBHD: 4. Fourth down
This is the ultimate audible by O'Brien. He doesn't really want to be going for it as much as he does on fourth down, but he looks at his kicking game and realize he doesn't have any choice.
Instead of sticking with the tried and true conservative football approach of punting and playing for field position, O'Brien looks like a genius with his devil-may-care approach on fourth down. The Lions have tried more (20) and converted more (13) fourth-down situations than any team in the country, and Saturday's 5-of-6 result produced conversions than enabled them to rally for victory.
O'Brien isn't afraid to think outside the box, and so far it's been working. If it keeps working -- and that's a big if, merely because of the law of averages -- then the coach's gambling ways and the notoriety that comes with them will earn him even more respect as the season goes on.

The Hobbit
Directed by Peter Jackson
Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage
Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence and frightening images.
2 hrs. 49 mins.
I have to admit, after taking the epic journey to watch all three The Lord of the Rings films, my capacity to endure another hobbit tale has been stretched. Don't get me wrong. I loved the movies, even watched them again on DVD. But did I want to return to the Shire and start from scratch? Not really.
So why am I? Starting over again? I guess the better question is, when Lord Peter Jackson summons, how can I not go? When all the little folk, including Bilbo Baggins and a houseful of dwarfs are gathered for the journey? It's just human nature, I guess. As the wavering Bilbo finally decides, who wants to miss out on a grand adventure?
And adventure is really what this whole series is about. In Tolkien's books, you always had a sense of deep moral purpose hiding behind the pages. The effects of two world wars. The dire impact of the industrial revolution. The constant threat of armed evil in the world.
For Jackson, none of that really comes to the forefront. It's about the fantasy, the action and the fun of living in a world where you encounter magic, wizards, orcs, dragons and the beauty of Rivendell. He's not taking the higher ground here. He's just having a good time.
Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) lives in a quiet house in his home district, called the Shire. One day, he receives a mysterious visit from an old family acquaintance, the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen). Little does he know that he has been selected by Gandalf to accompany 13 dwarfs on a journey to their former mountain home, now known as the Lonely Mountain. They are led by the heir to the dwarf kingdom, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage).
Long ago, the dwarves' magnificent dwelling in the mountain was burned and destroyed by a giant gold-loving dragon named Smaug. Subsequent orc invasions decimated the dwarf population and forced them to flee. Now their dwelling and their treasure are guarded carefully by the dragon, and the dwarfs have been forced to eke out another existence in a land far from home.
The band of dwarves gathered in Bilbo's house believe that the discovery of a mysterious map has bode them to return and reclaim their golden kingdom. Gandalf's controversial selection of Bilbo as the designated "burglar" in the group confuses both the dwarves and Bilbo himself, but they all defer to the old wizard, and that's where the adventure begins.
Despite the fact that this is a prequel, director Jackson picks up where the LOTR series left off. He's using many of the same actors from their previous roles, including Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, and an excellent Andy Serkis as Gollum. It's familiar terrain and Jackson uses his experience to meld together a very charming and exciting story.
What's different in this film is an abundance of off-the-cuff humor. For instance, trolls discussing cooking, a magnificent display of dish throwing and dwarf banter that sounds more London than Middle Earth. It feels out of place, as if perhaps someone might be poking fun at himself and the audience for taking the whole thing much too seriously. Nevertheless, the humor is good-natured and serves to lighten the load.
The Hobbit continues Jackson's quest for all things Tolkien. It might not have the same regal feel as the others in the LOTR franchise, but it's fun and without a doubt will garner a pile of Academy Award nominations. There's a solid cast and enough techno wizardy to keep the audience entertained. So saddle up. There's adventure here and a winding road ahead. For all those who love hobbits, dwarfs, elves and all those nasty orcs, get up on that horse. It's time to ride.

Baltimore, MD (March 20, 2013) - Leonard J. Howie III, Secretary of the Maryland Department of Labor,
Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) urges homeowners to use caution when hiring a contractor for spring home improvements.
"Maryland laws protect consumers by requiring home improvement contractors to hold a current license issued
by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. That license means they have met the State's standards for obtaining
and maintaining a license for this work," said Maryland Labor Secretary Leonard Howie. Unfortunately, unlicensed
contractors see the spring as a great time to take advantage of unsuspecting homeowners."
Only homeowners who hire licensed home improvement contractors are protected by the State's Home Improvement
Guaranty Fund. This fund is administered by DLLR's Home Improvement Commission to compensate homeowners who
suffer economic damages at the hands of a licensed home improvement contractor. No coverage is provided to the
homeowner if the contractor is not properly licensed.
"Too often, we see that homeowners who hire the cheapest contractor end up paying the most money when they
fall victim to an unlicensed contractor," said Howie. In addition to obtaining estimates from several contractors,
homeowners are advised to ask contractors to provide references.
It is unlawful for any home improvement contractor to work in Maryland without a license. Penalties include
fines or imprisonment. Consumers may contact DLLR's Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing at
410-230-6309 or visit the Commission's website to check on the
licensing status and complaint history of any contractor.
Other tips to ensure you are hiring the contractor who is right for you:
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and
empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers,
providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can
meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter

My column from the April 20, 2010, Tomahawk Leader:
By Typo
Tomahawk Leader Office Cat
I received this informational email, which also seeks donations beforehand. Do what you can: donate, volunteer and/or buy, buy, buy.
Just in time for your spring cleaning, the fourth annual Lincoln County Humane Society (LCHS) Rummage Sale is May 1 at the Merrill Armory, next to the shelter on Memorial Drive. Hours of the sale are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
LCHS is seeking donated items for the sale, and asks that they be dropped off at the Armory on Friday, April 30 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Donation receipts will be available. Please refrain from donating clothing and appliances, including TVs. The LCHS just doesn't have the resources to deal with these items. Thank you for understanding.
If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer to help with the sale, please call Jennifer Moore at 715-873-4665. Tomahawk area residents who would like assistance getting their donation down to Merrill may call Tina Larson at 715-771-9125. Additionally, the LCHS thanks My Feed Store at 844 N. 4th St., Tomahawk, for volunteering as an LCHS rummage sale donation drop off location for Tomahawk residents.
We are also including a brat fry and bake sale on May 1, and welcome donations of delicious baked treats of any kind. These may also be dropped off on April 30. To find out more about the bake sale, call Susan Taylor at 715-432-5214.
I was kind of lonely the night of April 10 when I realized I didn't have a date for Prom. Admittedly, it was a last-ditch attempt when I posted something on my Facebook page. Got a response that "Punkers" was dateless, too. But, when I did some checking, Punkers kind of scared me. She looked like she would be doing all the leading when we danced and I didn't think she'd own a prom dress.
So, I went solo and caught the grand march without anyone noticing. Slipped out right afterwards, but not without pausing by the live parrots (the Tomahawk High School Prom had a jungle theme). They were a tempting sight for a feline; good thing they were caged.
Ahhh, it's all a memory now. The only proof I have for my scrapbook a photo of me with my bow tie.

Green Day cover AC/DC, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at Optimus Alive festival
Vampire Weekend, Biffy Clyro also play the Portugese festival
Green Day played for over two hours last night (July 12) and covered AC/DC, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as they headlined Optimus Alive festival in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Californian pop-punk band performed their 28 song set to the biggest crowd of the festival so far and opened with '99 Revolutions'. They then rattled through their back catalogue, mainly concentrating on their newest material for the first half with 'Know Your Enemy' and 'Stay The Night'.
Before 'Stop When The Red Lights Flash', frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the crowd: "Look at this, it's glorious. It's not perfect weather but it's fucking Green Day weather, I'll tell you that." 'Letterbomb' then followed, before Armstrong made a speech to the audience about "corruption, murder, work, school... all these shit things to think about", eventually declaring the night's performance to be "all about love and joy."
After 'Welcome To Paradise', the group burst into a brief strain of AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' with Armstrong doing his best Angus Young impression. Later, they performed their now traditional cover of The Isley Brothers 'Shout', transforming it into a medley with The Rolling Stones' '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' and The Beatles' 'Hey Jude'.
Green Day also invited one fan on stage to play guitar with them during 'Longview'. Picking a fan called Manuel from the audience, Armstrong told the rest of the crowd "this could be a moment of musical history in Portugal or it could be a complete disaster." After the song he handed the guitar to the fan to keep.
Leaving the stage after playing 'Minority', the band quickly returned for a three song encore which began with 'American Idiot'. They then finished their set with versions of 'Jesus Of Suburbia' and 'Brutal Love'.

A fact sheet is now available describing the results of the 2014 sampling of residential yards in Dewey-Humboldt. IKHS Residential Sampling Results 4-15.pdf
On this page
Description and History
NPL Listing History
NPL Status: Final
Proposed Date: 03/19/08
Final Date: 08/03/08
Deleted Date:
The Site is a combination of sources and releases from two areas: the Iron King Mine and the Humboldt Smelter. A portion of the Town of Dewey-Humboldt is situated between the mine and the smelter. Three waterways (Chaparral Gulch, Galena Gulch, and Agua Fria River) also transect the Site.
The Iron King Mine area covers approximately 153 acres. The majority of this area is covered by tailings and waste rock piles. There are five retention ponds, at least five mine shafts, a collapsed mine shaft (glory hole), and areas of stained soil. The Iron King Mine was an active mine from 1904 until 1969. The mine was expanded in 1936 to remove lead, gold, silver, zinc, and copper from underground. A 140-ton mill was erected to crush ore and was expanded to 225-ton capacity in 1938. A cyanide processing plant was added to the site in 1940 to treat the mill tailings to enhance precious metal recovery. Waste rock and tailings were deposited in large piles adjacent to actual mine property boundaries. More recently, the mine tailings from the site have been used to create fertilizer.
The Humboldt Smelter occupies approximately 182 acres. This area is covered in approximately 763,800 square feet of yellow-orange tailings, over 1 million square feet of grey smelter ash, and 456,000 square feet of slag. The Humboldt Smelter operated from the late 1800s until the early 1960s. The original smelter burned down in 1904 and a smelter that processed 1,000-tons of ore per day was rebuilt in 1906. This smelter operated until 1918 and then intermittently between 1922 and 1927. The smelter reopened in 1930.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Surface Water
- Air
- Soil and Sludges
The contaminants of concern at this site are arsenic, lead, and sulfate. The primary sources of contamination are:
• Iron King Mine Main Tailings Pile and Impoundment/Ponds
• Iron King Mine Small Tailings Pile
• Humboldt Smelter Ash Pile
• Humboldt Smelter Impoundment/Pond
• Humboldt Smelter Tailings Pile
• Lower Chaparral Gulch
The locations of these source areas are shown on the map titled "Site Map" below. These sources contain average arsenic and lead levels from one to two orders of magnitude greater than average background arsenic and lead levels. Exposure to these metals could present a health risk if a person is in contact with them over a long period of time. EPA recommends that residents, especially children and the elderly, limit or avoid contact with soils and any water in these areas and obey EPA caution signs until these areas can be addressed through cleanup actions. Residents should limit or avoid spending time in Chaparral Gulch as tailings have been deposited along most of its length.
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments
EPA conducted a human health risk assessment to evaluate the potential harm to residents posed by site contaminants. The risk assessment indicates that contamination at the site could pose health risks (cancer risks and noncancer hazards) if no cleanup action is taken.
EPA conducted an ecological risk assessment to evaluate whether potential exposure to contaminants could harm plants or animals. The assessment found that contamination poses risks to many plant and animal groups (for example: mammals, birds, reptiles, and aquatic organisms).
The results of the RI indicate a need to take cleanup actions to protect human health and the environment. The next phase in the Superfund process is the Feasibility Study, which focuses on developing cleanup options that will reduce the health risks posed by the site to people, animals, and plants.
Initial Actions
A potentially responsible party (PRP)-lead removal action by Ironite was conducted in 2006 to remove contaminated soil from four residential properties. Staff from EPA's Office of Emergency Response supervised the sampling and removal of the contaminated soil conducted by the PRP's contractor, Brown and Caldwell.
Initial Actions
Portions of this Site were regulated under the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)'s Voluntary Remediation Program. In September 2007, EPA received a response from Arizona Governor Napolitano consenting to the placement of the Site on the National Priorities List (NPL). On 19 March 2008, EPA formally proposed the Site to the NPL, commonly called the Superfund List.
Placing the site on the NPL allows EPA to use federal resources to conduct cleanup activities at the site, including investigating the sources of contamination and determining what measures may be necessary to protect human health and the environment.
EPA received comments from the community on EPA's NPL proposal for this Site. EPA reviewed and considered each comment and placed the site on the NPL on September 3, 2008.
Site Studies
During summer 2008, EPA initiated the Remedial Investigation or "RI". The primary objectives of the RI are to determine the nature and extent of contamination and to gather sufficient information so that EPA can select a remedy that eliminates, reduces, or controls risks to human health.
During the course of the RI, EPA identified five Areas of Interest (AOI):
- Iron King Mine – Includes the Iron King Mine Proper Area, Iron King Mine Operations Area, Former Fertilizer Plant Area, Salvage Yard, and ancillary associated properties.
- Humboldt Smelter – Includes several abandoned buildings, a smelter stack, a tailings pile, a smelter ash pile, and a slag pile.
- Waterways – Includes the Chaparral Gulch, Galena Gulch, Agua Fria River, and adjoining drainage channels and outfalls.
- In-Town Soil – Includes residential, background, and ancillary properties
- Ground Water – Includes shallow alluvium and deep bedrock ground water
EPA conducted the following tasks as part of the RI:
- Collected over a thousand soil samples in the mine and smelter areas, residential yards, and the Humboldt Elementary School
- Collected background data for site contaminants
- Conducted water quality monitoring at six new groundwater monitoring wells and over 50 private well and tap water locations
- Conducted a storm water evaluation
- Developed volume estimates for waste and tailings piles
- Collected surface water samples along the Agua Fria River, the Galena Gulch, and the Chaparral Gulch
- Conducted air monitoring at ten air monitoring stations for 11 months
- Conducted an Ecological Habitat Survey
- Conducted a Cultural Resource and Historic Building Survey
- Conducted a Wetlands Assessment
- Collaborated with the University of Arizona on three site research projects
- Initiated a Reuse Assessment
The results of the RI are compiled in the RI Report, which is an in-depth document that identifies source areas, defines the nature and extent of contamination, and presents a summary of human health and ecological risks. A copy of the RI Report is available at the Dewey-Humboldt Library and EPA Superfund Records Center and can also be found electronically below. A summary of the RI results is presented in the factsheet dated April 5, 2010, which can also be found below.
Please send any questions or comments on the RI Report to Jeff Dhont, contact information provided below.
Site Studies
Data collected during the RI influences the development of cleanup options for the Site. The detailed development and analysis of cleanup options is called the Feasibility Study. During the Feasibility Study, the advantages and disadvantages of each cleanup method are explored. EPA, working in conjunction with ADEQ, will propose a recommended cleanup option for the Site in the Proposed Plan, which is accompanied with a public comment period. The Feasibility Study is currently underway.
Site Studies
EPA continued investigations in 2013 and 2014 on and near the mine and smelter, as well as in residential yards. These investigations have allowed EPA to better understand contamination at the source area, as well as determine whether levels of metals in soils in residential yards are elevated as a result of past mine and smelter activities. These investigations supplement RI activities conducted by EPA in previous years and will help EPA evaluate cleanup options.
Field work on and near the mine and smelter -
EPA conducted an extensive field investigation at the mine tailings pile, the Chaparral Gulch, smelter, smelter flood plain, and dam in 2014. This field work included installing and sampling from hundreds of new borings, thousands of soils and tailings samples, and installing new groundwater monitoring wells.
Field work in residential yards –
In 2009 and 2010, EPA conducted sampling of soils in almost 200 residential yards near the mine and smelter. In 2014, EPA conducted sampling at a few hundred remaining yards that may have been impacted by the Site in order to complete our investigation of residential yards. EPA has reached out to residents with results from this investigation.
Potentially Responsible Parties
Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) refers to companies that are potentially responsible for generating, transporting, or disposing of the hazardous waste found at the site.
PRPs also include current owners and operators of the site and parties who were owners or operators during a time of disposal.
- As part of the Superfund process, EPA identifies those parties that are "potentially responsible parties" who fall into one or more of the above categories of PRPs, and then may negotiate with the PRPs to perform cleanup activities under EPA oversight and/or help pay EPA's response costs. EPA has conducted a search for parties associated with the Iron King Mine-Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site and on November 19, 2009, issued a General Notice Letter to 14 parties advising them of their status as PRPs under CERCLA.
Documents and Reports
Community Involvement
Public Meetings: The EPA recognizes that Americans have the right to be involved in the decisions that affect their lives. EPA's experience has been that when the public is involved in EPA's work, the cleanup process results in a better outcome and a more robust remedy.
At the Iron King Mine – Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site, EPA's Community Involvement Program helps citizens participate throughout the cleanup process, including the investigation phase and the remedy selection phase. The goals of EPA's Community Involvement Program are to:
1. Provide opportunities for the public to become actively involved
2. Meet the community's information needs
3. Incorporate issues and concerns into cleanup decisions
4. Give feedback to the public on how their issues and concerns were incorporated into the cleanup work
EPA and ADEQ have a number of ways for the community to become more knowledgeable about and involved with the Iron King Mine – Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site.
Community Involvement Plan
The Iron King Mine – Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site Community Involvement Plan provides a detailed explanation of how EPA and ADEQ will encourage public participation in the cleanup decision-making process. It is a flexible plan that organizes both EPA's and ADEQ's efforts but can change based on new community needs. A copy is located at the Dewey-Humboldt Town Library and is also available above.
Community Advisory Group
A Community Advisory Group is stakeholder forum where individuals or those representing groups meet together to learn more about the Superfund cleanup process, and to provide information, issues and concerns to EPA and ADEQ. Membership in the group does not require a technical background.
The CAG is a self-forming and voluntary group. Although EPA and ADEQ do not manage the group, EPA can provide limited support, such as making copies, providing documents, renting meeting rooms, paying for meeting notices, etc. The biggest advantage of a CAG is that it meets regularly and at intervals that are usually far more frequent than EPA's event-driven meetings. In this way, attendees can get the latest information and can talk directly to EPA and ADEQ representatives.
If you are interested in participating in a CAG, please send an email with your contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com (Note: This e-mail address is managed independently by a Dewey-Humboldt resident and is not associated with EPA).
Technical Assistance Grant Available
EPA awarded a Technical Assistance Grant to the Community Coalition of Dewey-Humboldt, a local non-profit group. The purpose of the Technical Assistance Grant is to promote public participation by providing financial assistance to a community group so it can obtain independent technical assistance. After the independent technical advisor reviews Site related documents, the advisor can help the community formulate its issues and concerns, and communicate them effectively to EPA. On behalf of the community, the Community Coalition of Dewey-Humboldt hired Brian Beck to help the community interpret and comment on Site related cleanup information and decisions.
Mailing Lists
If you would like to be added to the site mailing list or email list, please contact Amanda Pease (contact information below) or call the toll free hot-line (800) 231-3075 and leave a message with your name and address.

Excellent course. I liked using a restaurant as a model and designing a web page - I learned a great deal about site design and am beginning the design of another site.
Thank you so much for the great information and advice given in this class. It was very helpful and I'm sure it will help me start my own business in web design. It will take awhile to take in all that we have covered but I'm sure my new business will be underway soon.
The course material was and will be very useful to me. It answered a lot of my questions, introduced me to new web page development methods, and provided good material for use as I work to improve the web site that I helped build and help maintain.
This course was extremely helpful to my pursuit of web design knowledge, on many levels, especially organization and development, which I came to discover are just as important as technical issues!
What a great learning experience! My instructor was great. I was able to complete the class without missing any important part of my life. I am convinced that online learning is the new classroom for busy individuals. I just wish I had took the advice of my daughter and started sooner. I do not have one complaint. It was a great learning experience for this 56 year old lady. Thanks for having this at my disposal.
You have been extremely "hands on" with us, a wealth of info and very pleasant. You always answer promptly and personally. For the first time, I've felt like part of a class even though I'm alone here at my computer. You made me feel comfortable to ask anything and as often as I needed.
