The Cullman Times
The Cullman County Sheriff's Office is currently excavating at a Cullman County home in search of evidence related to the 2009 disappearance of 29-year-old Tabitha Franklin of Cullman.
Franklin, 29, of Cullman has been missing since Aug. 8, 2009. At the time of her disappearance she had blond hair, was 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed approximately 140 pounds. Initial reports indicate Franklin was traveling to Hueytown at the time of her disappearance to meet with family, though she never arrived.
Investigators are excavating the front porch of a home on County road 1136 in search of new evidence, which stemmed from a recent break in the case. No charges have been filed against anyone at this time.
The Cullman County Sheriff's Office has been investigating the case for six years, and Sheriff Mike Rainey said some new evidence has hopefully brought investigators one step closer to determining what happened to the young mother of three.
"The Cullman County Sheriff's Office has followed numerous leads and questioned many people in Cullman and surrounding counties in our efforts to resolve this case," he said. "This particular lead is part of a three-month-long investigation. Investigators received new information which led to enough probable cause to obtain a search warrant for this location. Investigators are in the process of excavating the front porch of this location looking for any evidence connected to the disappearance of Tabitha Franklin. We're hopeful we'll be able to get some answers."
Franklin's family has worked tirelessly to keep the case alive and raise awareness about missing persons cases ever since the disappearance.

Our next World PVNH Conference will be held in Glasgow, UK in early June 2015!
PVNH stands for Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia. It is a rare neuronal migration disorder which is also known as BPH, BPNH, PNH, PVH, subependymal heterotopia or grey (gray) matter heterotopia. It also includes a variant, PVNH with Ehlers Danlos syndrome otherwise known as PVNH4.
Here is what an MRI with typical PVNH looks like.
PVNH Support & Awareness TM is a nonprofit organization of international reach which collaborates with PVNH genetic leaders, specialists, researchers. We also have alliances with some of the most outstanding rare disease advocates worldwide. PVNH Support & Awareness TM was founded in November 2009 as a legacy for my daughter, Ella Dupont Bedassie. Ella was 7 months and 20 days when she passed away from respiratory failure brought on by what we did not know at the time was a rare disease: X-Linked Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia, with Ehlers Danlos syndrome (PVNH4).
PVNH Support & Awareness TM exists to give affected patients and families a gathering place and to educate patients, families as well as medical and other communities about PVNH and other neuronal heteropia disorders.
This is for Ella, so that her death is not in vain and her memory keeps on living, forever.
Join us on August 7 – Ella's birthday – as we celebrate World PVNH Support and Awareness Day!
On August 7, 2014 please join us and spread the word about the 3rd edition of World PVNH Disorder Awareness DayTM

"This is the kind of daughter I aspire to raise," a friend recently posted on Facebook alongside a link to an article in the New York Times. This friend and I have known each other since junior high and high school where, as part of our single-sex education, we were initiated into the rites of feminism by some of the original activists of its 'second-wave.' So even though there were 43 other pressing things on my list that hour, I clicked.
The article, Saying No To Picture Perfect, was an inspiring report on a group of young women known as SPARK: Sexualization Protest, Action, Resistance, Knowledge. According to the Times, Spark was founded in 2010 by college professors as a "girl-fueled activist movement to demand an end to the sexualization of women and girls in media."
"Hurray", I cheered, "feminism isn't a dying cause after all!"
Because of letters and signatures by women as young as 14, SPARK recently crashed the website of Seventeen Magazine with a request that they include at least one photo spread in every issue that's not digitally retouched. Because of SPARK, according to the Times, "Vogue pledged to no longer use models who "appear to have an eating disorder." In February, Glamour pledged to ask its photographers not to manipulate its models' body sizes."
"Way to go girls," my heart sang.
SPARK's latest campaign even took on a new line of Lego products for girls called Friends, which includes sets for building a hair salon and cupcake shop.
Screech! The cheering stopped, and in it's place the silence in my brain was deafening.
They couldn't be talking about the same Friends Lego set I just recently got my 5-year-old on the advice of a friend whose daughter spends hours on them, could they?
"Your new Friends marketing campaign is not only insulting and condescending, but it is dangerous," the group wrote in its letter to Lego. "This is not about the color of your building blocks," the letter said. "It's about your distorted notion that, in order to buy Lego, girls need messages about the value of shopping, clubbing, baking and tanning."
Oh, yep, that Friends Lego set, one and the same. I had to laugh at the irony. Here I was, a sworn Waldorf, Simplicity Parenting parent, the one who rarely buys toys for her kids and if I do they are hardly ever plastic, and almost never 'scripted.' But not only had I broken these rules, but I had done so with one of the few toys being targeted by a group of feminists I really respected.
Of course I took the Lego set back right away, teary protests and all, right? Wrong. No, what I did do, for one brief shining moment, was use my analytic brain to break down what was really going on. In reality, in a house with cars and dolls, trucks and ball-gowns, blocks, silks, little media, and a big back-yard, this toy was a fish out of water, not the norm. What's more, it was balanced out by parents whose entire lives were examples of gender equality and imaginative thinking. In reality, this toy was not a problem for us.
On the flipside, my 5-year-old had started to shy away from most Lego play as she got older and had little any interest in the fields of transportation, aliens, or weaponry that most of their more complicated sets encompass—even though she's been given full access to such toys if she so chooses (OK, maybe not the weaponry so much, so sue me). But now that she has a pretty pink set to build a restaurant with, she's hooked.
We could debate all year on whether or not she was socially programmed to choose this set, even without the TV and movies many kids are raised on. But what is not up for debate, at least for me, is whether or not the play that's resulted from these Legos has been beneficial. I could have gotten caught up in how gendered this toy was and never offered it to her. Similarly, I could've balked based on my usual concerns about not providing too much 'scripted' playtime (there is really only one way to build these things to look like the picture on the box, which is what she wants to do with them.)
Instead, I chose to focus on balance and flexibility and try out something new. The results have been terrific. Because she can't totally assemble these things by herself yet, this toy has given my daughter another fun activity to do with a parent or grandparent and without her sibling—just for her. Also, it gives her a chance to continue to develop fine motor skills, and by digesting the visual directions it's introduced a totally new aspect of spatial relationships. Even more importantly, she loves it and it's fun! The look on her face when we finish a big portion, alone, is proof.
But as I've said, this is an issue of balance for me. If this was the only kind of toy I bought or exposed my daughter too, perhaps I could see SPARK's point. Of course this is only true if the rest of the toy companies do not follow suit, but that would be unlikely in a market with educated consumers like myself.
So what I'd like SPARK to recognize is the role of the parent here. The only way Lego is limiting my daughter's worldview to be a consumerist and sexist one, is if I let them. Thanks but no thanks guys, this parent has been raised on the notion of free-will and the power of choice. So, my plea to the feminist movement that was so instrumental in teaching me these values is to remember that in the end, a parent with the power to see the big picture and provide some balance, may be wiser than you think. So, please, never underestimate a woman's power to choose.

Citi Trimming Stake In Akbank
According to a Bloomberg report, Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) is trimming its stake inAkbank T.A.S., a Turkish bank. The company is offering 10.1% of its Akbank stake worth $1.27 billion, up for sale. This amounts to 404 million shares currently owned by its unit, Citigroup Overseas Investment Corp. The company is offering the shares to investors at 5.20 to 5.30 lira each.
Notably, in March this year, Citi had announced its intention of slashing its stake in Akbank from 20% to below 10%. Back in 2007, the company had bought a 20% equity stake in Akbank. Citi will retain its 9.9% stake in the bank for three years.
The move comes as a part of Citi's capital planning initiatives. Lately, Citi has been offloading its stake in a number of foreign banks. In this context, the company has sold its 2.71% equity stake in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank ("SPDB") for a pre-tax gain of $542 million.
Moreover, Citi has also offloaded its entire 9.85% stake in Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. ("HDFC") in India for a pre-tax gain of $1.1 billion. Notably, HDFC is a premier housing finance company in India and the promoter of HDFC Bank Limited (NYSE:HDB), one of the largest banks in India.
Our Take
Banks are required to strengthen their capital levels in order to encounter any financial crisis and satisfy global banking rules. Hence, these stake sales are an integral part of such initiatives, which help boost capital levels.
Moreover, Citi has failed to make meaningful return to its shareholders following the financial crisis and this puts the company in the back foot. The 2012 stress test results were disappointing for Citi. It could not manage to pass the stress test with its proposed plan to return capital to shareholders.
However, going forward, we believe that investments and efficiency savings would help in garnering a solid market share. Improved credit trends are encouraging. Expense outlook is also impressive. In fact, one can consider a company like Citigroup as a value investment, given its global footprint and attractive core business.
We also believe that the strategic capital planning efforts will bear fruit for the company and its shareholders in the future. Yet, a low interest environment along with a tough regulatory scenario remains our major concerns.
Citi currently retains its Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. Considering its fundamentals, we also have a long term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

The Ebola outbreak is in the news a lot, but experts say the risk to Americans is low.
Tony Gonzalez played in the final game of his storied career Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
The 37-year-old tight end caught four passes for 56 yards in a loss to Carolina.
Gonzalez intended on retiring in 2012 only to return to the Falcons in the middle of training camp this season.
Gonzalez says history will not repeat itself. He's done for good this time.
The 17-year veteran played his first 12 seasons with Kansas City after being drafted by the Chiefs 13th overall in the 1997 draft.
He spent his last five seasons with Atlanta.
Gonzalez finishes his career with 1,325 receptions, 15,127 yards and 111 touchdowns, according to NFL.com.

If you are on original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, when you are admitted to the hospital, you should get a notice called "An Important Message from Medicare." This notice explains your rights while you are in the hospital. If you do not receive this notice, call the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) at 1-888-354-9100. To view this notice, click here.
Click a heading below, or just keep reading for more information.
You have the right to be admitted to the hospital, even if you have to pay. Some services, like certain lab tests, can be provided without a stay in the hospital. Medicare will pay for a hospital stay when medically necessary. If you feel you need care in a hospital, but the hospital says that Medicare will not pay for it, ask for that decision in writing. If you choose to be admitted after getting a written notice of non-coverage, you may have to pay the hospital bills.
If you do not agree with the notice of non-coverage, you can call AFMC to appeal. If you appeal within three days of getting your notice, AFMC will make a decision within two working days. If you wait until after leaving the hospital to appeal, AFMC will make a decision within 30 days. Remember, without a written notice of non-coverage, you have no right to an immediate appeal.
You may appeal a hospital's denial of Medicare coverage by calling AFMC at 1-888-354-9100.
You should receive another copy of the "Important Message from Medicare." It will instruct you to call AFMC to request an immediate review of your case, and we are available seven days per week to conduct this review. If you call before midnight of the planned day of discharge, the hospital cannot discharge you until you receive a review decision from AFMC. Once you request an appeal, AFMC has 24 hours from receipt of your medical record to make a decision about your continued care. To view this notice, click here.
On July 1, 2005, other types of health care providers began issuing a notice of non-coverage before they stop care, whether or not the patient disagrees.
You should get this notice if you're getting care from any of the following, and that care is going to stop:
To find out more about requesting an immediate appeal, click here.
...and you disagree with a notice to stop your services from a health care provider or facility: You have a right to request a "fast-track" appeal. If you disagree with your Medicare Advantage health plan's decision to end services received from:
then you can request an appeal from AFMC. To find out more about requesting a fast track appeal, click here.
Medicare provides a variety of preventive services for men and women with Medicare. It covers a yearly screening mammogram for women age 40 and older on Medicare. Medicare also pays for a screening pelvic exam and pap smear for women once every two years. For men, Medicare pays for a yearly PSA blood test for the early detection of prostate cancer.
Medicare also pays for a yearly flu shot and a lifetime pneumococcal pneumonia shot for all beneficiaries, regardless of age. For more information on these and other preventive services, go to www.medicare.gov and access the Publications section.

The battlefield has changed. While hollow threats from single sources have failed to work, the cover of the Internet has brought them together to create a faceless organization, one known only as "Anonymous." Banding together to unite as a whole, they set out to administer their distinct brand of justice by any means necessary. When gaming is involved, it might be worth it to know how to avoid being targeted as the one and instead be part of the whole.
Targeting the PlayStation Network and Sony Executives
As part of a splinter group from Anonymous, "SonyRecon" is "fighting the good fight" against Sony after the unjust treatment of PlayStation 3 hacker GeoHotz. Supposedly forcing the PlayStation Network to go down for "maintenance" recently and targeting the personal information of Sony Executives, the damage is not just affecting Sony, but consumers as well.
GameStop – Battletoads
In November of 2007, more than 40 GameStops were targeted in what can only be described as one of the biggest crank calls to date. Calling in to ask for a pre-order of Battletoads, Anonymous caught many employees of the nationwide video game retailer in a display of vulgar (and hilarious) proportions.
The motive was unclear behind this. Whether it be because of constant upselling of pre-orders or simply to have a good time, I'm sure we can all agree on one thing: they all had it coming.
Zangief Kid
Fed up with countless bullying, 16-year-old Casey Heynes fought back and became an Internet sensation when a YouTube video of him pile driving a taunting bully spread like wildfire.
Anonymous took notice of this and made him a hero. They helped to spread the tale of "Zangief kid" (after the great Street Fighter wrestler) to news outlets worldwide, while the bully has had personal information ranging from his Facebook page to his MSN username exposed on the Internet for all to see.
Jack Thompson
The granddaddy of gaming despair, the attorney and activist we all love to hate, activist Jack Thompson has been against video games from the get-go. Since the days of Mortal Kombat, he has rallied against such controversial titles as…The Sims 2.
Anonymous could not stand for such actions, and rallied together to have him lose his license after exposing some of his past, and has even caught him sending gay pornography in a court filing.
They didn't just break Thompson; they flat-out destroyed him.
Habbo Hotel – The Great Habbo Raid
Habbo Hotel, a social game experience that lets players "make friends, join the fun," and "get noticed," faced the wrath of Anonymous on July 12, 2006. Turning an ordinarily family-friendly game into something a whole lot more dark, tens of thousands of afro-sporting, African-American "nigras" invaded the game and shut down the pools in the game in what is known as "the great Habbo raid."
While this seems like an insensitive protest, this was all done to protest the supposed racism of the Habbo moderators.

Here's what you need to know to make the most of reserve price buying and selling.
What is a reserve price?When a seller lists an item for auction on eBay, they are given the option to supply eBay with an optional "reserve price" for the item. This price, which is kept secret from bidders, is the minimum amount for which the seller is willing to sell.
If a seller supplies a reserve price, and bidding for the item doesn't reach the price before the auction is over, the seller is not required to sell the item to the auction's high bidder.
Reserve price auctions can be identified either by the words "Reserve not met" shown underneath the current high bid for the auction (see illustration).
Reserve Tips for Bidders/BuyersThe act of placing a bid on a reserve auction is no different from the act of placing a bid on any other eBay auction-enter your maximum bid and let eBay's proxy bidding system do the rest as usual, or snipe if you prefer and wait for the auction to end.
The results of a reserve price auction, however, can be different from what many eBay bidders expect, and the rules surrounding reserve price auctions are slightly different. This can make for a confusing and frustrating state of affairs.
- If the reserve isn't met, you don't win anything. Because the seller isn't obligated to sell the item to you if the reserve price isn't met by auction's end, you may place a bid, wait days for time to run out, and end up as the highest bidder only to learn that the reserve was not met and the seller thus won't sell to you.
- You have to wait, even if your bid doesn't meet reserve. Whether you're using eBay's proxy bidding system or a sniping system, when you bid on a reserve auction you can't tell whether you're obligated to buy until the auction is actually over. Even if your bid doesn't meet the reserve price at first, don't simply give up and bid on a competing item. As the reserve auction progresses and competing bidders act, the reserve could end up being met while you're not looking, with you as the high bidder. If this happens and you've also bid on another item, you'll suddenly be on the hook to by both of them.
- Reserve auctions often end with few/low bids. Because of the uncertainty described above, many bidders are reluctant to place bids on reserve auctions. As a result, it's actually common for reserve auctions to show a current bid well below the going rate for the item in question, and for the item to receive fewer bids than a matching non-reserve item-which tends to make it less likely that the reserve price will actually be met!
- Reserve prices can be higher than you'd expect. Reserve prices are often set by sellers just "testing the water" or who have unreasonable expectations, so it's also common to realize, as bids go higher and higher and the reserve remains unmet, that the reserve price on a given auction is set at an unreasonably high level and all bidders are effectively wasting their time.
- Reserve auctions are often used by less experienced sellers. Because they tend to generate fewer bids and are designed to protect a seller that isn't sure of the market value of his or her goods, reserve auctions are often used by new or inexperienced eBay sellers that may be slower to communicate, offer customer service, and/or ship goods.
Reserve auctions tend to be the least desirable types of auctions for a given item for most bidders, even though the current bid price of reserve auctions tends to be much lower than that of non-reserve auctions. For most buyers it's too big an inconvenience to bid on an auction through which they might not get an item even if they "win" the bidding, but that they must nonetheless wait to complete before placing another bid.
For these reasons, it's generally good policy as a buyer to bid on a reserve auction only if there is a compelling reason to do so-a lack of competing non-reserve auctions for similar items, for example, or superior seller feedback that justifies the inconvenience and uncertainty.

Dear Editor,
I would like to complement Diane Raver on the article regarding the St. Leon American Legion Oktoberfest held Oct. 4-5. This article brought our Oktoberfest to the attention of the community. People were picking up copies of The Herald-Tribune so they could have information on the schedule of events to take place.

This paella for two recipe provides the opportunity to prepare any of three kinds of paella - mixta (a mix of meat and seafood), marisco (seafood), and vegetariana (vegetarian). The process for each kind is basically the same - Prepare the sofrito of onion, tomato, and garlic. Then, add chicken, seafood or vegetables, and rice. Simmer in broth until rice is done, and let "rest" for 5 minutes.
The ingredients list below starts with those ingredients that all three kinds of paella have in common, like rice. Then, ingredient options for mixta, marisco and vegetariana are listed separately. Use the ingredients as listed, mix and match, or use your own ingredients. Every family in Spain has their own version of paella, so why shouldn't you?
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 2 Servings
- Ingredients in All Paellas
- 1/2 small yellow or white onion, diced
- 1/2 tomato, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 2-4 cups broth (chicken, fish or vegetable broth)
- 5-7 oz "bomba" rice or medium grain rice, such as Calrose
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- Spanish olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1 lemon(optional)
- Mixta Ingredient Options
- 2 drumsticks or thighs
- 1/4 lb pork loin (fat trimmed), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 calamari (squid)
- 4 small clams, such as venus or manila (frozen or fresh)
- 4 raw shrimp, medium or large - shell on
- 1/4 sweet bell pepper
- Seafood Ingredient Options
- 2 calamari (squid)
- 4 raw mussels in shell (frozen or fresh)
- 6 small clams, such as venus or manila (frozen or fresh)
- 6-8 raw shrimp, medium or large - shell on
- 1/4 sweet bell pepper
- Vegetarian Ingredient Options
- 1/2 can white beans, rinsed
- 1 artichoke, trimmed and cut in quarters
- 1/4 medium eggplant, cubed
- 1/2 green or red bell pepper, sliced in strips
As mentioned above, there four basic steps to prepare paella. The instructions below are broken into those four steps. Any specific tasks for one of the versions - mixed, seafood or vegetarian, are noted.
Prepare all the ingredients:
- Clean and chop the vegetables per description in ingredient list above.
- If using pork, cut into serving-size pieces.
- If preparing seafood or mixta versions, clean the squid of innards and spine, then remove the tentacles. Cut the squid tubes into rings. Rinse and drain all shellfish.
Cook the Sofrito:
Place the paella or frying pan on medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. When pan is hot enough, sauté the onions, garlic and tomatoes in the olive oil, stirring often until onions are translucent.
Cook Other Ingredients:
Mixta: Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Then add squid and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring often.
Seafood: Add squid and cook, stirring often for about 10-15 minutes.
Vegetarian: Add the artichoke, eggplant, pepper and lightly sauté. Vegetables should still be firm.
Cook the Rice and Finish:
Add the rice, sprinkling in the form of a cross on the pan. Stir for 2-3 minutes to thoroughly coat the rice with oil.
Crush the saffron threads between your fingers, and add to the warm broth. Slowly pour broth into the paella pan until ingredients are covered. Spread meat and vegetables evenly over bottom of pan.
Mixta and Seafood: After adding broth, arrange mussels around outside edge of pan, pointing up. Place clams and shrimp in pan, spreading out evenly. Add slices of pepper on top.
Simmer uncovered to cook rice. Add more broth if needed. If using peas, sprinkle over the top, when rice is almost cooked.
When rice is cooked, remove from heat and cover with aluminum foil or large tea towel. This allows the paella to "rest" for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Slice lemon into wedges and serve alongside paella.

TRAVERSE CITY — Jered Ottenwess described himself during his interview for Traverse City manager as soft-spoken, lacking years of experience and perhaps not the most charismatic person.
His humble, self-depreciating style worked, because Traverse City commissioners are expected to officially name Ottenwess their next city manager when they meet Monday at 7 p.m.
Ottenwess, 34, will go from managing 32 employees and a $3.2 million general fund budget for the Upper Peninsula city of Ishpeming to 150 employees and a $15 million budget in Traverse City. He'll be paid $100,000 annually to start and can earn up to $110,000 after two years.
He won't begin the Traverse City job until at least late July.
His former employers have no doubt he's up to the task.
"He can do so much for you," said Elaine Racine, Ishpeming's mayor pro tem, who described Ottenwess as intelligent, hard-working, honest and humble.
"When he travels, he pays for his own meals because he tells me he has to pay for them at home, anyway," Racine said. "I'm very happy for Jered, and very, very sad for our city."
Michigan native Ottenwess has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan and worked for a private planning firm when a friend suggested he apply for the city manager's job in the small town of Trenton, Fla., near Gainesville.
"I found my calling," Ottenwess said. "I find it really fulfilling, both personally and professionally, to work in the public's interest."
He helped that city transition from a state-declared emergency financial condition to a plus-fund balance in three years. But when asked about his top accomplishments, he noted a grant that allowed the city to install playground equipment in city parks.
"To see the kids really enjoying the playground equipment, it was really rewarding," he said.

'Danger parents' flee with children
1:32am Tuesday 3rd April 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
The number of "dangerous parents" fleeing with their children when social services become involved in their families is increasing, a senior British judge has warned.
Lord Justice Thorpe, head of a UK help desk for lawyers involved in international abductions and child custody cases, said that in one case, two young children were found living in a makeshift shelter near live railway tracks after being brought to the UK from Poland.
Most of the parents involved have links to Eastern Europe and, with almost two-thirds of children born in London in 2010 having a foreign parent, there was "the potential for significant future growth" in cases, the judge said.
In the Polish case, the children were brought to the UK by their father and uncle, despite the fact that Polish social services had a care order for them.
They were taken into police protection after being found living by the railway tracks four days after arriving in the UK after travelling by road and rail across Europe.
However a breakdown of communication between the English and Polish social services meant it was unclear whether the children should be returned to Poland and under what conditions.
Lord Justice Thorpe, head of International Family Justice (IFJ) for England and Wales, and the centre's lawyer Victoria Miller were called in to help sort out the case.
"The tendency of dangerous parents to bolt when social services are exercising legitimate protective powers is all too common," the judge said.
"We are seeing a rising number of these types of cases being referred to the office, mostly involving Eastern European countries."
Figures published in the IFJ's annual report for 2011 showed the number of cases in which the centre has intervened increased from just 27 in 2007 to 92 in 2010 and 180 last year. There are no published figures for the growth in international litigation overall.

man hurt in bike accident
Thompson, 43, of Three Rivers faces danger everyday
on the job. He's a lineman who works for a contractor
that installs power lines and transmission towers.
In his leisure time, he rides a racing
bike and is an avid kayaker. In fact, it was the Kaweah
River that was the key factor in his decision to make
his home base on North Fork Drive seven years ago.
The morning of Thursday, July 1, started
like so many others. Chris was cruising down North
Fork Drive and just pulling out of the section that
nearby residents refer to as "Deadman's
Curve," located about a quarter-mile above the
North Fork Bridge and just before the straight stretch
that extends to Pierce's Corner.
Not surprisingly, there have been numerous
car accidents in this section of North Fork Drive.
The most recent one was another near-fatal that occurred
Sunday, July 10. (See story below.)
Chris estimated he was going 25 mph when
he looked up at an oncoming motorist at the same time
the bike hit some wavy bumps in the asphalt.
next thing I knew the bike went down and I hit head
first," Chris recalled. "My bike helmet
literally blew up but it did exactly what it was supposed
to do: absorb the impact."
Chris estimates he slid at least 15 yards
on his side before coming to a grinding halt, partly
on the gravel shoulder and partly on the roadway.
A woman walking her dog quickly approached the sprawled
out biker and asked if there was anything she could
couldn't even respond to her immediately as
I was still trying to check all my parts and assess
the damage," Chris recalled. "I was bleeding
from the nose, my back and shoulder hurt, I was extremely
nauseous, and I could feel all my blood rush to my
belly. I said to the woman, 'Call an ambulance.
I'm going into shock.'"
Chris remained conscious throughout the
entire incident. Tulare County firefighters arrived
on the scene at 8:38 a.m., within six minutes after
dispatch fielded the 911 call. He remembers the firefighters
loading him on a board.
you do don't touch my head," Chris recalls
telling the EMTs.
The Exeter Ambulance arrived on scene
at 8:57 a.m. and transported the patient to Kaweah
Delta Medical Center where he had same-day surgery
on a broken hip.
Today, Chris is on the mend, but awaiting
a shoulder operation that his doctors advised Chris
to hold off on until he no longer needs crutches.
In good spirits and able to reflect on his experience,
Chris said the real shocker came when he received
the ambulance bill of $1,880. Fortunately, he has
an excellent insurance policy from an employer who
he won't be returning to work for in 2010.
Editor's note:
To the woman who was walking her dog at the scene
on July 1, please contact John Elliott at the Commonwealth
(260-2909). You have a message from Chris.
motorist arrested in DUI accident
40-year-old Kaweah man was arrested after the 2007
Toyota FJ Cruiser he was driving northbound left the
North Fork Drive roadway, collided with a fence, and
became hung up on some boulders about a quarter-mile
north of North Fork Bridge. The accident occurred
Sunday, July 11, just after 9 p.m.
The driver fled the scene, but was detained
as he was walking along North Fork Drive.
After the CHP arrived at the scene, the
man was arrested on suspicion of DUI and booked into
Tulare County Jail.
The vehicle had expired Virginia license
tags and the driver was not carrying a valid driver's
license. The man was identified by a California identification
card that was found in his possession.
According to CHP officer Flynn, acting
public information officer, the severity of the charges
will depend on the driver's blood alcohol content.
Those results are pending.
Electric Railroad on display
Kaweah Heritage Visitor Center
Larry Butler
members of the Visalia Electric Railroad Modelers
and Historical Society were at Lake Kaweah on Saturday,
July 10. The purpose of their visit was to deliver
a valuable gift to the Kaweah Heritage Visitor Center.
An important part of the history of Lake
Kaweah and Terminus Dam is the rail system that served
the area in the early 20th century. It was absolutely
unique and helped mold the character and economy of
the Kaweah valley.
In the age of steam railroads, a cleaner,
quieter, "greener" technology —
electrical power — began to replace coal-burning
locomotives in many larger cities. This new locomotion
even found its way into a few railroads serving rural
communities such as Exeter and Lemon Cove.
The Visalia Electric Railroad began passenger
service in 1908, and before long the orange electric
cars were hauling loads of people to a special destination
on the banks of the Kaweah River. Terminus Beach offered
visitors a large deck along the river for dancing
and special events such as professional boxing matches.
During summer, the cool waters of the
Kaweah attracted hundreds of swimmers seeking relief
from the Central Valley heat. On Independence Day
1915, the VE punched 5,000 tickets.
Since its founding 15 years ago, this
historical organization has been dedicated to the
preservation of the history of the VE through the
modeling and interpretation of rolling stock and railroad
many years, the Visalia Electric Railroad was the
link to the outside world for the residents and the
agricultural goods they produced," said Ed Keogh,
president of the nonprofit group.
When approached to participate in the
renovation of the Lake Kaweah visitor center, Ed Keogh
met with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers volunteers to
develop ideas and interpretive concepts. Over a period
of several months, rolling stock models were sourced,
modified, and finished to faithfully represent the
railcars that serviced Terminus. While the models
were being built by group members, an appropriate
setting was under construction at the visitor center.
The new exhibit now features a "ticket
window," complete with a posted schedule of
arrivals and departures from July 18, 1915. Built
into the window are two cases that feature the gems
of the exhibit — HO-scale (1:87) models of the
railcars and locomotives that served here. The most
unique is a replica of an electrically-powered "interurban"
car like the ones that brought swimmers to Terminus.
The visitor center at Lake Kaweah has
changed over the past several months. With the addition
of new displays on the dam, the fusegates, water management,
early residents, and the flora and fauna of the Kaweah,
visitors can learn more about the unique history and
culture of the lake bed and the surrounding Corps
of Engineers property.
Valerie McKay, USACE park ranger, observed
that the generosity of the gift from VERMHS allows
visitors to understand why "…the name
of the dam is Terminus Dam."

HOT summertime reads
Sarah Elliott
an ice-cold glass of lemonade and climb into your
hammock. Here is the first of two installments about
some of our favorite summertime reads — some
recent publications, some classics — that will
keep you thoroughly entertained whether relaxing at
the river or struggling through the dog days.
Lonesome Dove
It's been 25 years since Larry
McMurtry came on the scene with this blockbuster.
If you read just one Western novel in your life, make
sure this is the one.
It's the tale of a pair of former
Texas Rangers who embark on a cattle drive from Texas
to Montana through untamed, wild country. The story
is filled with all the harrowing adventures that can
possibly be had while on that dusty trail.
Follow Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call
as they battle sandstorms, snakes, bad food, bad water,
Comanches, and more. Like only a storyteller like
McMurtry can do, each character is so well-developed
that the reader is quickly roped in and along for
the ride.
Be prepared to laugh... and cry…
sometimes on the same page. When Lonesome
Dove is over but you aren't ready to let
Gus and Call ride off into the sunset, then move onto
the prequels (which were both written after Lonesome
Dove), Deadman's Walk and Comanche
Moon, in that order.
Lonesome Dove was made into
a television movie; as usual, the book is the more
gripping account. It's the reader's imagination
that best tells this adventure.
The Last Season
While author Eric Blehm is still basking
in the acclaim of his most recent release —
The Only Thing Worth Dying For: How Eleven Green
Berets Forged a New Afghanistan — he will
always be locally renowned for his 2006 account of
the mysterious disappearance of longtime ranger Randy
Morgenson. Randy was an idealist who fiercely protected
his summertime home that is the hundreds of thousands
acres known as Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
After nearly 30 years as a seasonal backcountry
ranger, Randy left his Bench Lake ranger cabin one
day in the summer of 1996 and was never heard from
again. A massive search and investigation ensued but
no trace of Randy was found.
Discussion swirled about Randy's
disillusionment with various aspects of his life,
from his marriage to his summer employer, the National
Park Service. As experienced as Randy was in the Sierra,
it was nearly unfathomable that he could have succumbed
as the result of an accident, so theories such as
suicide, foul play, and planned disappearance all
made the rounds.
It wasn't until five years later,
nearly to the day, that the question of what happened
to Randy was finally answered. No spoiler alert here;
get the book (available at local parks visitor centers
and online) and read all about it.
Eric Blehm's meticulous research
creates a fascinating biography that depicts how Randy
got to where he was, both physically and intellectually.
Last Child
in the Woods
If you are feeling guilty about the kids
spending so much time inside this summer ("It's
hot!" "There's nothing to do!"),
this book will reinforce that emotion while convincing
you to take them outside… a lot. They will be
better people as a result, according to author Richard
Louv is single-handedly responsible for
coining the terms "nature deficit disorder"
and "denatured childhood" after compiling
several studies that point to exposure to nature as
essential for a child's healthy physical and
emotional development. The current disturbing disconnect
robs children in many ways, Louv surmises, linking
the lack of nature to obesity, attention disorders,
depression, lack of creativity, and a foreboding warning
that nature itself will experience a deficit of stewards
in generations to come.
In other words, nature needs children
as much as children need nature.
So, pack up a picnic, buckle the kids
in the car, take the short drive to where it's
cool (Giant Forest is less than an hour away), and
let the kids experience some disorganized, unstructured,
not-using-their-inside-voices, get-dirty, creative
play while you sit in the shade of a Big Tree and
It's time for a "nature-child
reunion," as author Louv would say.
Food Rules:
An Eater's Manual
This pocket-size book by Michael Pollan,
America's most trusted resource on all things
edible, will be a quick read for anyone who is ready
to make the commitment toward better eating or for
others who need a refresher course. It's a condensation
of Fast Food Nation and Omnivore's
Dilemma in an easy-to-read format that will spell
out the commonsense rules of sustenance that we as
a society have cast aside in our quest for super-sized,
mega-gulp, venti, two-for-one dollar deals of manufactured
quasi-food products.
There are simple mantras such as "If
it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a
plant, don't" and "Eat animals that
have themselves eaten well." Eating has become
such a complicated matter, but this book proves it
needn't be.
Its three parts, each ask and answer
a question about our diets: Part I: What should I
eat? (Food). Part II: What kind of food should I eat?
(Mostly plants). Part III: How should I eat? (Not
too much). These are the basic tenets of eating, but
since we all need reinforcement every now and then,
this guidebook will lead you down the right grocery
There is an overabundance of diet books
that claim to be the salvation to permanent weight
loss and healthy eating, but this book is so basic,
so obvious, that it breaks the mold.
And remember, as Michael Pollan writes,
"It's not food if it arrived through the
window of your car."
Arctic Homestead
This book is what I'm currently
reading. It has been on my list since its release
in 2000.
The true story is eerily refreshing to
read about subzero winters in the Far North while
experiencing the hot summer nights of the Sierra foothills.
This book is based on the journals of
Norma Cobb and written by Charles Sasser from Norma's
viewpoint. Norma reportedly is the last woman to claim
land under the Homestead Act.
That land, however, happens to be located
about 150 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, near the
Arctic Circle in the beautiful yet isolated Minook
In their quest to have land of their
own, the Cobbs venture to Alaska in 1972 with their
combined family of five young children, ages three
to nine (no nature-deficit disorder here).
I'm not going to spoil this worthy
read by flipping to the end of the book so some details
are certainly missing. But so far the "Cobbs
and their Kernels" are having a non-stop adventure.
There have been money problems, harsh winters, run-ins
with bears and wolves, a shooting, thefts, threats,
hard lessons in frontier justice, and even some "hairy
man" (aka Bushman) sightings. This memoir is
a page-turner and a very cool read.
The preceding are
a few of Sarah's favorite books. Next, John
will reveal his picks. Want to contribute? Share your

annual Custom Car and Bike Show
Brian Rothhammer
the coolest thing to do on the hottest night in town?
Chillin' at the Oldies but Goodies Street Dance
and Cruise Night, of course.
Woodlake is the place to be this Friday
night for some "show 'n' shine"
and to dance to the music of DJ Tony Avila as feeling
good sets the tone for Woodlake's 12th annual
Custom Car and Bike Show.
I f you'd like to shine up your ride and
display it in the show, entries are still available
during Cruise Night and on the day of the event (Saturday,
July 17) for $20.
The entry fee includes a ticket for the
50/50 raffle, a dash plaque, and a meal ticket good
at any restaurant in town. The first 150 entries get
a free event T-shirt.
Just chillin' is free. This is
the 12th year that the Woodlake Chamber of Commerce
and their sponsors have presented these events as
"…a gift to the Woodlake community,"
and to "invite folks in neighboring communities
to visit our friendly town," said Rudy Garcia,
one of the event's organizers.
Saturday morning's forecast is
too cool for school. Even as the thermometer rises,
coolness sets in again as hundreds of the smoothest,
sweetest machines on wheels glide into Woodlake City
Move-in is from 7 to 10 a.m. This is
when hot rods, bikers, cruisers, and more get their
assigned spots and set about polishing and massaging
their rolling sculptures. Many folks develop an affinity
for their cars but here it's extreme.
The degree of engineering, the level
of craftsmanship, the endless hours spent on some
of these machines to elevate them to a status of elegance
and beauty is phenomenal. There are also the "Rat
Rods," apparent mismatched heaps of pieces and
parts still "in the leather."
Be it a perfectly restored classic, a
"rude boy" hot rod, a Harley, Vespa, or
Schwinn, you will see it here. You'll also meet
a diverse assemblage of folks of all ages sharing
a common appreciation and fellowship as they admire
each others' restored prides and joys.
All through the day, vendors will offer
their wares. Woodlake's great eateries will
also be showcased with lots of car show specials.
At noon the judging begins. There are
31 categories, each with a first, second, and third
place winner.
The awards ceremony starts at 2 p.m.

the cool place to be.
car buff enters classic Edsel
Woodlake Car Show
Brian Rothhammer
Drewry of Three Rivers, winner of a second place trophy
at the 2009 Custom Car Show, will be sharing his 1959
Edsel Ranger at the Woodlake event on Saturday, July
17. He acquired it seven years ago because "it
was all there" and, according to Bill, a worthy
classic to add to his collection.
With the Edsel, its own inglorious history
outshines even its best restorations. That epic story
has created a unique value for Edsel owners a half-century
unveiled— E-Day. That was a greatly
anticipated day in 1957 when a car was unveiled that
was to launch a whole new division of the Ford Motor
Ford initiated a massive market research
program in 1955 to determine what car Americans wanted
in their future and after an intensive design campaign
came up with the Edsel.
The very first CBS TV show to be live
broadcast to the nation, then "tape delayed"
for re-broadcast in the Pacific Time zone, was The
Edsel Show, a star-studded Edsel marketing extravaganza.
Bing Crosby hosted with musical guests Frank Sinatra,
Louis Armstrong, Rosemary Clooney, and comedian Bob
The telecast was one of the highest rated
shows of the year. Soon huge lines of eager buyers
waited outside spanking-new showrooms to catch a first
glimpse of "The Newest Thing on Wheels."
When the doors finally opened, people
were underwhelmed. It wasn't a hideously bad
creation nor was it a lemon. It just didn't
live up to the hype.
Soon afterward, Bob Hope quipped that
the distinctive upright grille of the Edsel resembled
"an Oldsmobile sucking a lemon."
Other popular entertainers assailed the poor Edsel
as it became the butt of numerous one- liners. Then
came allegations of quality control issues and other
damaging rumors. Whether the criticism was justified
or not, the Edsel was doomed by all the bad press
and publicity.
Sales were poor for the 1958 model year
and worse for 1959, even after a thorough redesign.
Very few 1960 Edsels were built before the plug was
pulled in November 1959 by Ford president Robert McNamara.
A rather anticlimactic end to a car that
was to be the cornerstone of an entire automotive
division named for Henry Ford's only son. The
very name Edsel became synonymous with failure on
a grand scale, though Edsel Ford had been a very successful
president (1919-1943) of Ford Motor Company.
Ironically, a prototype for a mid-sized
Edsel became the highly successful Mercury Comet.
Bill plans to have the Edsel painted
soon in a red and white two-tone for his 50th high
school reunion this fall. Stop by the Woodlake Car
Show this Saturday and greet Bill and see his classic
this weekend for 3R artists
artists explore clay mono prints in a show opening
this weekend in Visalia — Shirley Keller, Karen
Kimball, Marn Reich, and Claudine Feibusch. The artists,
three from Three Rivers, one from the Bay Area, took
a workshop from Diana Crain at The Art Farm in Petaluma.
Mitch Lyons, who is the creator of "clay
mono printing," trained Diana. Feibusch, Keller,
Kimball and Reich liked the medium enough to pull
together resources and set up a workshop, taught by
another Mitch Lyons student, in one of their homes
in Three Rivers. They continue to meet for a weekend
every now and then to play with the art form. This
show is the result of this collaboration.
Shirley A. Blair Keller
Artist, Writer, Photographer
Three Rivers
Shirley explores how nature impinges
on our lives through photography, art, ceramics, and
writing. She has shown ink quilts in San Francisco;
ceramic masks and photography in Tulare, Visalia,
Porterville, and Three Rivers; and has won awards
over the years. Discarded objects made into art is
a recent exploration. Shirley is the secretary/treasurer
for 1st Saturday Three Rivers and opens Spirit Hill
Studio to the public during 1st Saturdays in Three
Karen Kimball
Artist, Three Rivers
Karen dabbled in graphic arts before
discovering the clay mono print process in 2008. Since
then she has become a devotee of the freedom and spontaneity
of the clay print art form. The concepts of layering,
composition, and color, common to both graphic art
and clay mono print, are more challenging and fun
in the clay process due to the unpredictability of
layers, of color and design on a clay slab. Karen
enjoys this element of surprise.
Karen is a past president of the Arts
Alliance of Three Rivers.
Marn Reich
Ceramics Artist, Three Rivers
Marn began working in clay about 15 years
ago in a College of the Sequoias class. Since then,
she has taken classes and workshops all over California.
Her work has won ribbons at Visalia Art League shows
and the Tulare County Fair, where in 2009, her sculpture
won Best of Show. She has pieces of art in collections
throughout the United States.

Claudine Feibusch received her early
art training from her father, a graphic artist and
graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work
has been exhibited at galleries in Fresno, Visalia,
Three Rivers, El Cerrito, San Rosa, and San Francisco.
Her work is in private collections across the country.

students visit 3R, Sequoia
Mark Tilchen
group of high school foreign exchange students from
Belarus visited Sequoia National Park a couple weeks
ago to see the mighty trees and volunteer at the local
national parks. Fourteen students from WorldLink rode
the Visalia shuttle to the parks to spend a day touring
the Giant Forest.
Five of the students stayed in Three
Rivers for a few days to perform volunteer projects
for the Sequoia Natural History Association while
others went to volunteer projects in Visalia. The
Sequoia students worked on various chores at the Beetle
Rock Education Center in Giant Forest and at SNHA's
Ash Mountain office.
This was the second year Belarus students
have volunteered for SNHA.
The nonprofit WorldLink organization
sponsors foreign exchange students through a program
called FLEX or Future Leaders Exchange. Operated by
the U.S. State Department, FLEX brings high-achieving
high school students from former Soviet Union countries
to the United States to learn about democracy and
the American way of life.
In 2007 and 2008, The Kaweah Commonwealth
reported on WorldLink girls from Tajikistan, who spent
10 months living with families in Three Rivers and
attended Woodlake High School.
Belarus is a small European country on
the southwestern border of Russia. While other former
Soviet countries send exchange students to spend a
school year in America, the Belarus program places
students in homes for three weeks.
During this period, they learn about
American culture, improve their English skills, and
volunteer. The students spend an additional week in
Washington, D.C., before returning home.
Three Rivers has hosted WorldLink students
since 2006. This year, 30 students will be placed
in homes throughout Tulare County.
The next round of 10-month students arrives
in late August and some still need host families.
If you are interested in becoming a host family or
have questions about the role of the host family,
contact Adina Escarsega at email@example.com.
Mark Tilchen is the
executive director for Sequoia Natural History Association.

A Petaluma pilot is among the more than 1,200 people named in the Boy Scouts' "perversion files," a list of volunteers suspected of inappropriate sexual behavior with children the organization kept for decades but did not share with parents or the police.
The files were released Thursday as part of an $18.5-million settlement between the Boy Scouts and a victim.
The Los Angeles Times has created a list of the cases by year, city, state and troop number. The newspaper's list includes the time period covered by today's release - 1965 to 1985 - but also other accusations and documents gathered and released in various court cases.
According to the file, Richard P. Wargo, a Petaluma pilot and volunteer troop leader with Boy Scouts Troop No. 74 molested four children from 1982 to 1984. In one instance, Wargo, then 47 years old, kissed a child and told him he loved him and in another fondled a boy after asking him to sit on his lap. Then on a camping trip, he molested another boy in a tent, according to the files.
Wargo was eventually confronted by the troop leader and asked to resign, which he did while claiming he was innocent and had been misunderstood. The incidents were reported to the police, but it's not clear that Wargo was ever investigated.
Instead, Wargo moved on to other victims.
He was convicted of two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14 in 1989 and was sentenced to prison. He now lives in Arkansas.
Petaluma Police told the Press Democrat they had requested the file on Wargo and were looking into the details of the case.
What do you think about the recently-released files? Boy Scout parents/volunteers: Have enough safety measures been put in place to prevent similar abuse from happening?

"I'm used to talking to him all the time, about the most meaningless stuff. To have him gone feels like a loss, an absence haunting me every day. Without him, there's just the empty space that used to be filled with laughter and friendship and comfort. Can you really blame me for finding it so hard to let go?"
