CHAMPIONS Mayor Glacken Dedicates New Water Facility in Northwest The former camp-grounds on Prince Avenue in the northwest section of Freeport is now home to a state-of-the-art facili-ty housing three new water wells supplying an additional 4,500 gallons of water per minute to residential and commer-cial customers. The new wells, along with a high-tech opera-tions center, are located in three one-story Tudor-style structures. The com-puter system enables water department opera-tors to monitor and con-trol the pumps on site and from other locations with-in the village as a result of the installation of advanced programming equipment. "The addition of these wells and the com-pletion of this complex is yet another critical step in the Administration's long range plan Village Trustee Bill White, Jr. joined Mayor Bill Glacken in presenting a plaque to thank Senator Charles Fuschillo, Jr., while Hempstead Coundlwoman Angie Cullin and Nassau Legislator Dove Denenberg look on. to rebuild Freeport from the ground up," said Mayor Bill Glacken at the official dedication of the complex on June 17th. "The village water department is delivering the highest quality of service and ensuring an ampie sup-ply of safe, clean water at the lowest possible cost to our customers now, and guaranteeing that this ser-vice will be available for our children and grand-children in the future," explained the Mayor. Mayor Glacken thanked New York State Senator Charles Fuschillo for his efforts in securing one million dollars in state funding for the village to offset part of the $5 mil-lion cost of construction of the new facility. Senator Fuschillo praised Mayor Glacken for his leadership role. "Freeport represents the model for other com-munities," said the sena-tor. "With its efforts to ensure the future delivery of clean, safe water to its consumers, it is setting the standard for progress for other municipalities on Long Island." Freeport Welcomes Annual Annapolis Visit 'ON On Thursday, August 11th, the village will welcome 80 midshipmen and officers aboard eight single-mast sailboats to the Esplanade on the Nautical Mile. The visitors from the United States Naval Academy will spend a long weekend from Thursday to Monday, August 15th as guests of the village. While here, the sailboats will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tours and information about the Academy's 4-year col-lege program. The visit by the Naval Academy's sail training vessels, which have made Freeport's Nautical Mile on Woodcleft Ave. a port-of-call for the past eight years, is a major attraction for local residents and tourists. The eight sailboats docked at the Esplanade and manned by the midshipmen, provide a pleasant summer destination for visitors to the waterfront and offers an opportunity to experience the revitalized Nautical Mile. The Annapolis sailboats docked at the Esplanade along the Nautical Mile during the 2004 visit A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Freeport United Soccer Club Celebrates at Cow Meadow Park If there is one thing that the recent hurricanes and tropical storms in Florida and the Caribbean have shown us, it is that there are certain very basic services that a municipality must be able to deliv-er to its citizens to protect the communi-ty. The delivery of safe, clean water and the ability to provide reliable electrical power are both critical needs for a func-tioning society. Freeport is among only a small number of local communities that provides both of these services to its res-idents and businesses. During the eight years that the Glacken Administration has been in office, we have devoted our efforts to ensuring that these services will be deliv-ered to our residents and at a reason-able cost. The recent construction of three new water wells, bringing the total number of wells to eleven, and the installation of the high-tech operations center, guarantee that both businesses and residents will have an ample supply of safe, clean water to meet their needs throughout the summer, and at the same time provide for the expanding needs of our community in the future. The 5-million dollar water facility project located on Prince Ave. in the northwest section of the village includes sophisticated computer equipment enabling our engineers to monitor the wells from various sites throughout the village. A special security system was installed to protect the. delivery of safe, clean water to our 10,000 customers. In addition, the facility was thoughtfully designed to blend into the quiet, resi-dential neighborhood where it is locat-ed. Freeport also prides itself on main-taining its own municipal electric utility for more than a century. The addition of the two new 47-megawatt generators at Power Plant 2 was a major accomplish-ment for our village. Again, we respond-ed to the growing needs of our commu-nity with the installation of these gener-ators, one owned and operated exclu-sively by Freeport. The village is selling 10 megawatts of electricity from that generator to LIPA under a thirty-year agreement, with the remaining avail-able energy allocated first to Freeport ratepayers and then to the open market. The second generator, which is owned and operated by an outside developer, provides a source of revenue to the vil-lage, while supplementing the electrical needs of the region. Both the water facility project and the construction and installation of the 47-megawatt generators at Power Plant No. 2, are indicative of the extraordinary efforts we have made to bring progress to our community. Because of our com-mitment to rebuild our infrastructure, Freeport is viewed as a leader and model for other communities. Mayor Reads to Youngsters at Summer Program in the Park "Reading to the children is one of the things I love about my job," said Mayor Bill Glacken as he began the first of two picture books he read to the youngsters gathered around at Northeast Park for the opening of the summer reading program sponsored by Zion Cathedral Church of God in Christ. Each summer the elementary school children who enroll in the program receive several books to read over the summer. Program Director Carla Young said the children look forward to the different stories and are delighted when local leaders, such as Mayor Glacken, come and read to them. After the Mayor finished reading, there were questions about the stories and prizes for those youngsters with the correct answers. On hand to congratulate the players and their families on their fifth successful season were several local elected officials and individuals who have helped the traveling soccer team over the years. Mayor Bill Glacken praised the youngsters for their hard work and dedication, and reminded them of the many benefits sports offer young people, including helping them learn cooperation, teamwork and fair play. District Attorney Denis Dillon, whose Rising Star program conducted a two-week soccer day camp for members of the club between the ages of 10 and 17, said playing on a sports team, with the help of good coaches and teammates, will help them build character and develop integrity. In addition, several other individuals attended the event to show their support for the program, including members of the business community. The group included Freeport's Police Chief Michael Woodward, President of the Police Athletic League Officer Michael Pomerico, and Hempstead Town Councilwoman Angie Cullin.

Adopt-A-Cop Program Picnic Celebrates Another Year Mayor Bill Glacken and the youngsters in the reading program at Northeast Park More than 500 fourth grade students from Freeport's four elementary schools attended the special celebration at the Freeport Recreation Center in June. The youngsters enjoyed demonstrations by Freeport's police K-9 team, as well as Nassau County's helicopter and mounted police squads. The students are part of an innovative project, now in its eleventh year, that unites a Freeport volunteer police officer with a fourth grade class for the entire school year. During that time, the students develop a close relationship with the offi-cer, who attends monthly func-tions and correspondents with the youngsters. The village police department has been recognized by national organizations for the Adopt-A-Cop program, which began in Freeport, and has been duplicated by other police departments around the country. "The Adopt-a-Cop program has had a very positive impact on Freeport's school children," explained Freeport Police Chief Michael Woodward, who devel-oped and implemented the pro-gram. "It provides them with police officers as mentors and role models," he concluded.

The now ongoing client hired Bunseki for its expert witnesses in a financial software case. Another company was taking information they learned from the original company and using it as their own, Greenman explained.
"This particular company wanted to understand how things were infringed upon in much detail so we came to an agreement with them for writing tools, which is the software that we write," Greenman said. "We review the documents in a legal case and do a comparative analysis. That comparative analysis is used to dig up irrefutable evidence whether a party infringed upon another party's rights."
Bunseki's five clients are still involved in settlement negotiations or are at trial so Greenman could not provide any examples of who has used the software and what their specific situations have been.
Greenman did say that the company has been able to give lawyers the information it discovered "much sooner in the process and it has helped them to go and build up their cases quicker."
Because the software is automated, they can start comparing codes of the plaintiff and defendant's documents earlier in the court cases. The legal team has more time and the scheduling of depositions is useful for lawyers to have the information up front.
These types of cases can take years, Greenman said, and utilizing just an expert witness doesn't speed up the process.
Lawyers and clients can use the results the software generates to solve their copyright infringement cases, among many other lawsuits. Some other cases it analyzes are software licenses, trade secret and patent rights.
Bunseki's technologists -- who are contracted through the affiliated company CreateTank -- can create customized software to meet a client's need too, Greenman said.
"Maybe it's video that has information in it and they want us to get the words that people are saying out," Greenman said. "That would be a case we would have to customize to pull the words out of the video. We would engage with them to customize our tools to meet their need."
Bunseki's only competition right now is the old process, the old way, Greenman said.
He is confident the Marion County company's software is the new approach for solving cases quicker. It's just letting clients know it's available, he said.
"I'm proud of the software we put together at this point. The fact that we have expert witnesses and the software tools to provide them with makes us a strong entity for our client," Greenman said. "Our competition is getting the legal community to understand that our services exist so that they can be better at what they do by using our services."

Tents of daughters, supposed to be the name of a Babylonian deity, the goddess Zir-banit, the wife of Merodach, worshipped by the colonists in Samaria (2 Kings 17:30).
Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia
suk'-oth, suk'-oth-be'-noth, be'-noth (cukkoth benoth; Rhochchothbaineithei, Codex Alexandrinus (better) Sokchothbenithei):1. The Meaning according to the Hebrew:The name of an idol made by the Babylonians sent into exile at Samaria by an Assyrian king (Shalmaneser), and mentioned among the deities of the various nationalities there assembled (2 Kings 17:30). In Hebrew, Succoth-benoth means "booths of daughters," and has been explained as the chambers wherein the Babylonians placed women for prostitution; or booths or tabernacles in which images of certain goddesses were worshipped.2. Sir H. Rawlinson's Identification of the Name:The parallelism, however, requires a deity, like the Nergal of the Cutheans, the Ashima of the Hamathites, etc., and not a chamber or shrine. This consideration caused Sir H. to suggest an identification of Succoth-benoth with the Babylonian Zer-panitum (= Zer-banitum), whose name was probably pronounced Zer-panith, the spouse of Merodach (the god of Babylon), as the "seed-creatress." The difference in the first component, zer, was regarded as due to its possible Hamitic (= Sumerian) equivalent, or to a Semitic mistranslation, both of which explanations are now known to be untenable.3. Is Succoth the Babylonian Sakut?:As the people who made Succoth-benoth were Babylonians, we should expect here either a name of Merodach, the god of Babylon, or one of the deities identified with him. At present the only suggestion which can be made is that Benoth is for ban wath, i.e. ban'(i) mati, "creator of the land." Both the Semitic and the bilingual creation-stories speak of Merodach as the creator of the world, with its products, and the great cities of Babylonia; and "father Enlil," who bore the title "lord of the world," bestowed the same upon Merodach at the creation, thus identifying Merodach with himself. Now there is a group which may be read either Dikut, "the Judge," or Sakut, "the Counselor," and if we can read Succoth-benoth as Sakut(h)ban' wat(h), "the Counselor, creator of the land," a satisfactory explanation of this puzzling name will be furnished. The terminal -i of the Babylonian has been preserved in the ei, of the Greek. The adoption of such a descriptive name of Enlil-Merodach would form a compromise between abandoning their old objects of worship and accepting "the god of the land" (2 Kings 17:26).T. G. Pinches

Written by Prof Nigel Bundred (pictured), GM CLRN Cancer Local Specialty Group and Clinical Lead for the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Research Network.
Last year – April 2010 to March 2011 – was an excellent year for the Greater Manchester & Cheshire Cancer Research Network (GMCCRN) as it was our most successful yet in terms of recruitment to clinical trials and overall performance.
During this time all 12 of the Acute Trusts that we support recruited 10% of their new cancer patient population into National Cancer Research Network studies. On top of that, eight of those Trusts also succeeding in recruiting over 7.5% of their total population into randomised controlled trials.
Of course, this increase in recruitment means that more patients are accessing new and novel cancer treatments or procedures and I'd like to thank all the patients who agreed to take part in trials. Without patients agreeing to take part in clinical trials, at what is obviously a difficult time for them, then we wouldn't be able to achieve these results and develop cancer services and treatments further.
As well as patients, I'd also like to thank the 12 hospital trusts that we work with for making this year so successful. By working with all of the Trusts in our area we're ensuring 'equity of access'. This official-sounding term means that we're giving every patient the same access to clinical trials, regardless of where they are treated, whether in a world-renowned centre such as The Christie or at any of the District General Hospitals across the region.
How do we measure success?As a Cancer Research Network (CRN), our success is measured against the other 31 CRNs and this year we were the top performing CRN in the UK. For three of the four indicators used to measure the performance of CRNs, we were top and in the final category we were second. This means, in 2010-11, GMCCRN recruited:
However, such a successful year doesn't mean we will be resting on our laurels. We're always looking at ways to improve the amount of research into new treatments as well as working with new investigators at different sites.
We'll be sharing some of the ways we've been able to achieve this success very soon.
GMCCRN is one of 32 Cancer Research Networks in the UK. It was established in 2003 to provide NHS organisations in the region with an infrastructure to support high quality cancer clinical trials. It has a remit to being benefit to patients, the public and the NHS by improving the speed, integration quality and inclusiveness of cancer research.
GM CCRN serves a population of 3.2 million people and covers 12 NHS Hospital Trusts.
Prof Nigel Bundred is Professor of Surgical Oncology and Consultant Surgeon based at the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust as well as at the Christie Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where he has a large clinical commitment to the Manchester Breast Service.

Why ads?Having received a mild exterior freshening in 2010, this year's changes are highlighted by two versions of the 3.0-liter V6 engine (272 horsepower in Premium and Premium Plus, 333 horsepower in S Line Prestige) and the addition of an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. This, along with a few equipment and cosmetic tweaks, sums up the changes to an aging platform.
In the crowded world of luxury SUVs, the 2014 Audi Q7 is truly one of a kind. Handsome, poised and polished, the Q7 not only delivers in the areas of pampering passengers and impressing the neighbors, its powerhouse engine lineup and taut handling make it joy to drive. Two amazing supercharged V6 gasoline engines and one turbodiesel combine with standard quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) to move the Q7 around smartly yet efficiently, in any weather, on any road. The Q7's exterior styling is subtle but distinctive, with a wide grille and rounded corners. Unfortunately, that same styling creates a somewhat snug interior, most noticeable in the 3rd-row seat and rear cargo area.

Comcast bills to increase: 1.6 percent
Comcast cable subscribers will see increases in several services, scheduled to take effect on Jan. 22, according to notices received by municipal officials throughout the state.
"While we've worked hard to hold down price adjustments, the average customer bill will increase by 1.6 percent, beginning with the February 2013 billing cycle," said Comcast spokesman Marc Goodman.
A notice sent to Manchester officials detailed the price hikes. The monthly charge for limited basic cable in the Manchester area will go from $23.07 to $24.60. Expanded basic will go from $44.20 to $45.15.
The Starter Triple Play Bundle, with telephone, digital television and high-speed Internet, will go from $137 to $142 per month.
"We continue making investments in our network and next-generation technology to make enhancements customers want," said Goodman, "including faster Internet speeds, more multi-platform video, improved customer service and self-help options."
Customers currently on a Comcast promotional offer won't see increases until that promotion expires.
Dish Network recently announced an increase in the price of its core TV bundles effective this month, with most packages rising $5 per month. DirecTV announced price increases averaging 4.5 percent, starting in February.
Cable and satellite providers cited the higher costs for programs and the need for investments in new technology as reasons for the increases.
A DirecTV spokesman said that company has to pay about 8 percent more for programs, since almost all of its providers are hiking their rates, according to Reuters.

pastaThere might be something wrong with me. I keep doing the same thing and thinking things will turn out differently. In this case, I make dinner for my family every night, but like someone who's certifiable, I'm still waiting for the evening when I get to enjoy a warm meal in peace. If you've ever cooked for a crew of kids, you probably know what I mean. As soon as those plates hit the table, that's when my four-year-old bounces up. "Potty!" Then its our two-year-old following suit, "I hab to go potty too!" She actually wears pull-ups right now, but that doesn't deter her from this gotta-leave-the-table emergency. So I turn my attention to the baby, and see my husband carefully laying out tiny bite-size portions of things like cheese, bread, grapes (no, he's not French but this actually sounds quite nice, right?). That's when the little guy starts flinging it right off the highchair tray.
Dinner at our place is nuts.
And it probably will be for years.

But that's okay. I'm still going to keep on cooking.
This time is my investment. And what I'm trying to do is create more than just a habit; I'm aiming at a family culture. I'm banking on these hours spent cooking (and at least as many cleaning up) to help create the foundation for our kids to grow into adults who value real food. Cooking it, spending money on it, eating it-and doing all of that together with people they love.
There's more than one way to do it though. Not everything has to be cooked from scratch. Things don't have to be exotic or even that healthy. The main goal I'm shooting for is simple: It has to be good.
Isn't that one of the best parts about eating? It's a sensory pleasure. That's in addition to its obvious ability to nourish bodies, those that are growing and those than could use a little movement in the other direction…especially after having 3 babies in 4 years, ahem.
I just want these kids to THINK about food occasionally. Not just grab, go, and move on to other things. I know there will be ballet lessons and iWhatevers to play with in the years ahead but for now, I just want to instill this one thing. We eat real food, we eat it together.
And from an investment perspective, the payoffs could be huge. There are things to gain: A appreciation of great flavors, the habit of eating slowly with purpose, cooking skills of their own and of course, a penchant for picking healthy, whole foods over the processed stuff as adults. Then there are the proven benefits of eating together for kids: better grades, lower rates of drug problems and also this. Pretty soon it's going to be really fun. I loved dinner time as a kid, listening to my mom and dad tell stories about their day and getting to chime in too. It was one of the only times when I remember feeling like, "There are grown ups talking, and I'm part of this too!"
There's also the stuff you have a better chance of avoiding when you eat real food growing up: Diabetes and heart disease (two wide-spread illnesses largely linked to poor diet), weight-gain, even energy slumps and more.
It's not about what we're not allowed to eat. Trust me, there aren't any Food Police on patrol here. We've got chips (both the potato kind and chocolate too) but we're just trying to mix them in amongst all sorts of healthier, richer, more interesting food too. (You can see our greatest hits, and a few misses, on Foodlets.)
The point is, we're all busy. If you're taking a shortcut and buying a box of rice to serve with that chicken and steamed veggies, here's what I say: Smart! If you need to call Uncle once a week and declare every Friday pizza night, my thought is: What a relief! (And can I send my kids over?) There's no need to drive ourselves crazy. I think the best we can all do is just keep plugging along, taking help where we can and when we need to. Just keep cooking. When your toddler refuses to eat your new quinoa experiment, keep cooking. When your preschooler suddenly stops eating cheese after four solid years of loving the stuff, keep cooking. That's what I'm going to do, too.
And I'll tell you how it goes for us once the kids start kindergarten or I actually taste a bite myself, whichever comes first. -By Charity Curley Mathews

Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ "Multi-Color" – Available
June 21st, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
Most examples of Nike Flyknit restrain themselves by utilizing a select few colors to arrive somewhere closer to a traditional sneaker colorway. Any such limits have been removed from this latest Nike Flyknit Lunar1+, as the intricacy of this fabrication process is echoed by the intricate rainbow weave across its upper. This colorway reads like one of the rainbow Footscapes in a kaleidoscope, a dizzying mix of a wide range of colors that's sure to capture the attention of anyone within sight. Check them out from some additional angles after the jump, then grab your 'Multicolor' Flyknit Ones straight from NikeStore.

The Museum's director talks art, bikes, gardens, and expansions.
Brian Ferriso had some big shoes and an empty pocket to fill when he became executive director of the Portland Art Museum in 2006. For 12 years, his predecessors, John and Lucy Buchanan, had held a string of blockbuster exhibitions, raised millions in donations, and built two additions. But all was not well: the Museum carried a crippling $20 million debt. And then came the recession. Six years later, the Museum is on more certain financial footing, is expanding its collection, and has retuned its ambitions to educate, not just draw, the masses.
Join us for a look at Ferriso's first phase at the Museum—and at what he hopes to be the next—in conversation with Portland Monthly editor in chief Randy Gragg. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Bright Lights: Discussions on the City is a monthly series presented by Portland Monthly magazine with City Club of Portland designed to bring the region's thought leaders to the stage in an informal, conversational setting. Past guests have included Congressman Earl Blumenauer, advertising guru Dan Wieden, and Portland State University president Wim Wiewel, along with candidates for mayor and the Metro council.

WBB: Cyclones' Poppens To Clash With Oklahoma's McFarlandBy Rob Gray, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly frequently stresses that forward Chelsea Poppens is a one-of-a-kind player.
But if there's a Big 12 rival who most mirrors her skill set and hard-nosed attributes, it's Oklahoma's Joanna McFarland. "They both like running into people," said Fennelly, who will see Poppens and McFarland clash in Tuesday's 7 p.m. game against the No. 16 Sooners (14-2, 4-0) at Hilton Coliseum. "They don't shy away from contact. They're both playing in a way, and I think, emerging as the seniors that they need to be." Poppens, a senior preseason all-American from Aplington, averages 12.5 points and 10.8 rebounds in conference play for the No. 24 Cyclones (12-2, 3-1). McFarland, a previously unheralded senior, checks in at 14.8 points and 10.8 boards in Big 12 games this season. "(Her) numbers are ridiculous in the league," Fennelly said. "I think she's shooting about 80 percent. Most people don't shoot 80 percent if they're out there all by themselves, let alone in a conference games. So I think her emergence, to go with their guard play, has really helped." Oklahoma's needed it. Four players — including first team all-Big 12 guard Whitney Hand — have been lost for the season because of injury. Still, the Sooners win on. "You look at almost every game they've played and they've been close or down in a lot of (them) and they find ways to win," Fennelly said. "They make plays at the right time and that's a tribute to (coach) Sherri (Coale). That's her personality: Grind it out, work hard, do things the right way." That work becomes easier when a balance is achieved. And the Sooners have struck it on the offensive end of the floor. Slick-shooting guard Aaryn Ellenberg leads five players averaging at least 9.8 points with 22.3 points per game. "They really do shoot it well and they have a lot of guards that can shoot it," ISU point guard Nikki Moody said. Poppens is coming off her best all-around performance of the season, a 24-point, 15-rebound effort in a 68-52 win Saturday over TCU. One board — off a missed free throw — fueled a 13-2 first-half run that got the Cyclones the lead for good. "The whole goal is to get my teammates another shot," Poppens said. "It gets everyone motivated just to have another try at it." Poppens, Fennelly said, hadn't been playing as well as she'd hoped recently and dropped by his office last week to seek answers. "When you care as much as she cares, those things are going to happen," Fennelly said. "She knows what she can do and her teammates know what she can do." ISU MEN PREPARE FOR WEST VIRGINIA: When Iowa State men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg looks at Bob Huggins coached teams, he discerns one constant. "Bob's teams have always been so physical," said Hoiberg, whose Cyclones face Huggins-led West Virginia in Wednesday's 8 p.m. Big 12 game at Hilton Coliseum. "The run their offense, they cut extremely hard and the biggest thing they do is offensive rebound." The Mountaineers (9-7, 1-2) have been in every conference game this season and posted a 57-53 overtime win at Texas. ISU (11-4, 1-1) is coming off a 20-point home win over the Longhorns. Point guard Korie Lucious had one of his better games, dishing out nine assists to just three turnovers. "I'm trying to tell myself every day I need to limit my turnovers because that's not what's going to help us win," Lucious said. "I'm doing good so far and hopefully I can keep it up."

A fragment of a tamarind jar, an unglazed piece of reddish-brown ceramics, and a gray Native American pestle are some of the discoveries that could bring a new distinction to this most historic of historic American towns.
An excavation this summer in a small shed and nearby grounds on North Street has yielded more than 30,000 artifacts dating back 1,000 years. But the prized finds have been the bits and pieces that "might point to an African origin and [dwellers'] desire to maintain a physical, spiritual, and ental connection with their origins,'' said archeologist Craig Chartier.
Now the findings have to be compared with known slave sites in the United States before determining whether the shed, which is recorded in the online archives of the Massachusetts Historic Commission as "slave quarters," is the second remaining slave home in the Northeast, joining the Isaac Royall House in Medford.
"There is very good evidence of slaves at the site . . . but I would need a lot more evidence of African folkways and African-influenced material culture artifacts, as well as the probability that after exhausting all possibilities, it couldn't be anything else," said Chartier. That confirmation could come as early as this winter.
Chartier, who is director of the New Bedford-based Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project, led a team of trained and novice workers on the backyard dig. The project began in April, with a $15,000 Community Preservation Fund grant spurred by historian Rose T. Briggs's typewritten reference to Colonel George Watson's slave house in a 1967 Massachusetts Historical Inventory Form that she submitted on behalf of the Pilgrim Society.
The Plymouth Antiquarian Society's executive director, Donna Curtin, found the reference two years ago while searching in the society's file for documents by Briggs. Curtin, long curious about slave lore surrounding the small building, which was most recently used as a tool shed for the Plymouth Arts Center, then pushed for the grant.
"New England slavery is a part of history people have not been that interested in thinking about or understanding, but now is the time to come back and scientifically investigate this," said Curtin, noting that "Massachusetts was the first colony to pass laws to allow slavery in 1641, ironically called the Massachusetts Body of Liberties."
For years, the late James Deetz's pioneering archeology in the mid-1970s at Parting Ways, a freed slave community in Plymouth, served as a template for African-American archeology. Deetz worked with local African-American volunteers instead of archeology students, and interpreted artifacts within the context of African culture incorporated into the lives of slaves in Colonial America.
In recent years, however, his approach has been viewed as too speculative.
"Cultural traits transplanted wholesale from the African continent into the New World is a very static view of material culture and doesn't look at cultural relations, cultural process, and the creation or origins of where and when did we come up with ideas of blackness and whiteness," said Alexandra Chan, the lead archeologist on the Isaac Royall House excavation.
"If you're only focused on picking up a piece and saying this is African or European, you kind of miss the bigger picture," she said.
A 1990s dig led by Stephen Mrozowski of the University of Massachusetts Boston and current research by Boston University doctoral candidate Karen Hutchins has modified some of the interpretations at Parting Ways.
For example, Deetz thought he had found evidence of a West African floor plan within the New England-style houses at Parting Ways. But according to Hutchins, "We now know that at least one of the homes was built by a white squatter . . . and there is no way of knowing what the interior would have looked like from the archeological remains."
About a decade ago, Chan excavated the Medford estate of prosperous merchant and slave owner Isaac Royall, and was moved by what she called the "small finds, personal possessions, evidence of leisure time activities and self-adornment . . . that helps to bring these people out of the shadows of anonymity [so that] for the briefest, most exhilarating of moments . . . time seems to collapse in on itself and I can almost feel our hands touch across time."
Now, in Plymouth, Chartier is sorting through the bounty of artifacts found at the North Street property that belonged to Watson, a well-to-do mariner and slave owner.
The shed, built in the early 18th century, remains in its original location, though the timber structure was raised over a cobblestone base in the 1830s. Continued...

Deputies said a woman hit herself after she attacked her fiance with a Dale Jr. beer bottle in order to get him arrested.
Spartanburg County deputies said the couple were arguing at their Highway 357 home and at one point, Shannon Bridges hit her fiance in the head with a large Dale Jr. glass beer bottle. According to the sheriff's office report, the bottle was 2 feet tall.
Bridges, 36, began to hit him, but tripped over some vegetables, deputies said. According to the report, Bridges began slapping herself and told her fiance she was going to call the police on him because she had marks on her.
When deputies asked Bridges what happened, she said her fiance attacked her and she hit him with the bottle in self-defense.
The victim told deputies what Bridges did, so when they asked her what happened, the deputy said he used the subterfuge message to get her to admit to the assault, according to the report.
The report said Bridges confessed she hit herself and caused some of her own injuries because she wanted her fiance to go to jail.
Deputies said Bridges was "grossly intoxicated" while the victim had not been drinking. Bridges told deputies the arrest was wrong because she had marks on her and she knew the law, according to the report.
Bridges was charged with criminal domestic violence.

I read last week that Earth Day is one of most important holidays on many school calendars. While Earth Day was Sunday, April 22, it is important to keep Earth Day in mind every day – not just once a year. At the very least, Earth Day is a good reminder for all of us to up our own personal commitment to the environment, revisit our everyday habits and look for ways to further "green" our lives. In short, this day should inspire action. In kids and adults alike.
Last year on this blog, I made a few Earth Day resolutions hoping that you, my fellow cloth diaperers, would join me. This year, I thought I would recap my resolutions and my progress in the past year. And I'm adding some new ones for the coming year, hoping you'll do the same. I mean, we are already on the right track by using cloth diapers…from here it's easy to add green practices to your everyday life.
To recap my 2011 resolutions:
- Compost. Done. Since August, we've been faithfully collecting our kitchen scraps in an old coffee canister under the sink and adding it to the composter along with dry leaves and yard waste, even through the winter. No useable compost yet, but we're getting there and the rising temperature can only help. Grade: A
- Join a CSA. I'm on the right track. I've done the research, but haven't signed up quite yet. Grade: C
- Eliminate paper napkins and reduce paper towels by half. The paper napkins are still in the cupboard. BUT, we've invested in several sets of cloth napkins that we use almost every day. I moved the paper towels under the sink where they are not as easy to grab and started dating the inside of the new tube when open it and it's been taking us anywhere from 3-4 weeks to use an entire roll, which is a significant reduction. Grade: B+
- Run at least one errand on foot per week. This is a work in progress. I probably do this once every two weeks on average. Some weeks, I run three errands on foot and other weeks I drive everywhere. Grade: C
- Reduce trash-to-curb. Apparently we had been using the wrong size trash can for two years, so even with a smaller one, we are only filling it about half full. This week, we'll be putting out two kitchen-sized bags of trash. Not bad for a family of four. Grade: B
Now, for the new Earth Day Resolutions. In addition to continuing to work on the above, my Earth Day Resolutions for 2012:
- Garden. We recently bought a large raised bed for the backyard and filled it with a mix of soil and compost (purchased, ours wasn't ready yet). The goal is to grow a kid-friendly garden full of vegetables that are organic and ready to eat from our back yard like carrots, corn, peas, lettuce, tomatoes….and hopefully a couple of pumpkins!
- Shop and eat local. I'm resolving to buy local whenever it makes sense both to support local businesses and reduce our carbon footprint. Frequent the hardware store in my town, farmers markets, my garden and local restaurants, especially those with a locavore attitude.
- Reduce wrapping paper waste. The amount of paper we threw away after Christmas was sickening. Multiply that by every house on our block and every block in the country. I do love a beautifully wrapped gift (probably more than the next gal), but I need to do better. I've started to recycle wrapping paper and bags, use old book pages or newspapers – or better yet a scarf or something cool – to wrap gifts. My friend has been making cute gift bags from scrap fabric for her gifts, they are beautiful and reusable!
- Adjust the temperature. Our standard indoor temperature is 69 in the winter and about 75 in the summer. I'm thinking we can go definitely dress warmer in the winter and get by with 68, possibly even increase to 76 in the summer (though my sweaty husband may disagree on that one!).
- Keep talking about cloth diapers. As my girl gets older and cloth diapering is just a part of daily life, I don't talk about it quite as much as I once did (to anyone who would listen!). I'm making it a goal to continue to be a champion for cloth diapers and talk to the new and expectant moms I meet about the benefits of going green and using cloth!
So that's it. Nothing drastic. Totally doable, right? Here's to Earth Day 2012 and inspiring action in our own families and communities. What are your Earth Day resolutions? Join us on Facebook and tell us yours!
