SACKETS HARBOR — The Great Lakes Seaway Trail is promoting a series of walks along waterways in western Pennsylvania and Northern New York as the nation commemorates the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
A national organization — the American Volkssport Association — has given its approval to walks in nine Seaway Trail communities from Erie, Pa., to Ogdensburg in northern New York. Walking enthusiasts who complete 3.1-mile and 6.2-mile Seaway Trail walks can earn AVA credits and special pins.
Seaway Trail officials say they expect Volkssport groups from across the nation to visit the War of 1812 sites along Lakes Erie and Ontario, the Niagara River and the St. Lawrence River.
The 518-mile Great Lakes Seaway Trail extends across parts of New York and Pennsylvania but does not include the Champlain Valley. The Battle of Plattsburgh, won by the Americans, is widely viewed as the event which precipitated an agreement between the U.S. and Great Britain to end the conflict.

Why We Are Making Changes....
With your help over the last four years, Jasper Ridge Farm has flourished! We have grown from serving 110 children per month to our all time high of 375 children per month this Spring. Requests for our programs have grown so much that we need more animals and more space in order to meet the current needs. NCEFT kindly allowed us to lease our existing space to get our organization launched, and we are very grateful for having such a lovely place to incubate our programs. Thank you NCEFT! But now we find we need more space than they have available for us, and so we will be moving in order to serve more children and now, adults as well.
Where We Are Moving....
Webb Ranch has invited us to move onto their property on Alpine Road, and has offered us a lovely two-acre site, rent free! They are allowing us to build a new barn and a covered arena which will enable us to grow and operate our programs year-round. With the help of Webb Ranch, we have been running all of our "overflow" programs there for two years already, and we are proud and appreciative of the collaboration.
How We Plan to Pay for Things....
It will cost us $400,000 to build the barn, arena and infrastructure. Our Board voted to conduct a capital campaign and has organized a Capital Campaign Leadership Team. To date, we have received commitments of just over $212,000 to the campaign! We are currently soliciting large sponsorships and commitments while we wrap up final plans for the campaign, and will be sending out information to everyone in October, including how much we still need to raise.
What Is Happening in the Meantime....
Our current lease in Woodside expired at the end of August this year, and we are not ready to build and move to Webb Ranch just yet. In the meantime, we have found an ideal temporary home in Gilroy to house our family of animals. We will continue to operate our regular offsite programs at facilities such as Ronald McDonald House, and will increase the number of programs we are currently running at Webb Ranch.
A Name Change....
With all the changes taking place, Riley's parents have asked us to change the name of the organization. So we have been discussing the importance of "rebranding", looking at a new name. logo, tagline, etc. in order to truly reflect who we are and our vision for the future where we connect many more children and adults to the amazing presence of our animals! Though our name will be changing, our vision and mission to help those who need it the most, will remain constant!
How You Can Help....
We are on the cusp of helping so many more children and provide a better home for our animals...we couldn't do it without all the love and support from each and every volunteer and donor. Volunteers, while we are in our temporary Gilroy home, we will still need help with our Program Visits. Animal Care volunteers and Youth Volunteers, because our temporary home is quite a distance, we hope you will hang in there and join us again when we are at Webb Ranch.
Donors, we need help with our ongoing monthly operational and program costs, as well as donations towards our Capital Campaign so that we can expedite our move to Webb Ranch!
A Testimonial...
"Going to Riley's Place is a wonderful experience for our children. Children who are homeless are under so much stress, but when they are at Riley's Place they can relax and be at peace with themselves and the animals. Our children love to brush the ponies, feed the goats, and hold the bunnies. Riley's Place is idyllic and magical, and we are so grateful that we are able to take our kids there."

Driving from Paulding, OH to Woodburn on Ohio 111 I saw this fnnel cloud forming off to the south. I had encountered heavy rain driving from Defiance and then clearing as I neared Paulding. This was the leading edge of a line of severe storms that later triggered a tornado warning for Woodburn. As that warning sounded, I headed to the Woodburn fire station, where I was directed to a nearby American Legion Hall to take shelter in the basement until the warning expired.

METHUEN — Beginning this month School Superintendent Judith Scannell received a bump in her pay.
In the spring, the School Committee approved a new three-year contract for Scannell, giving her a 2.5 percent raise and a bump in longevity pay and vacation leave.
On July 1, Scannell received an increase to an annual base salary of $158,875, and her annual longevity payment doubled to $5,000. She will receive a 2.5 percent raise in base salary each year in 2014 and 2015 as well.
"I appreciate your support," Scannell told the School Committee when they unanimously approved the contract on May 21. "It's about the team that I work with. They're very supportive and as a group our hope and goal is to move forward in a positive direction."
Mayor Stephen Zanni praised Scannell leadership. "She has done a superb job not only in moving our district forward, but also taking care of some problematic things that arose over that time," he said.
The committee in March gave her a strong review and commended her work overall.
Scannell, who started with Methuen Public Schools as a teacher in 1975, became interim superintendent in August 2010 when Jeanne Whitten retired. The School Committee voted to hire her full time in January 2011 and two months later approved a three-year contract retroactive to when she took over from Whitten.
She is one of the lowest paid superintendents in the area. Andover's Merinal McGrath was tops at $202,894 in 2012, according to town records. Haverhill's James Scully was next at $176,615, followed by Kevin Hutchinson in North Andover at $153,223.
Jeff Riley, the superintendent/receiver of Lawrence Public Schools, is a state employee who earns $198,000. Lawrence's top local administrator is Assistant Superintendent Mary Lou Bergeron, who earned $149,830 in 2012.

"I watch the other heavyweights and I don't feel threatened by any of them. I'm not getting caught up in la-la land. I'm keeping everything in perspective and keeping it real. But even though I've got the belt, I can still become a better fighter ... It poses a whole other threat now, with people gunning for you and not just me trying to climb the ladder ... Put it this way, guys play golf for recreation. You don't fight and get bloody noses and black eyes for fun. I'm a grown man and I have to make a living out of this."
UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar dismisses the existence of a real challenge within his division despite already holding a submission loss to Interim Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir. Lesnar and "Murr" will clash in a title unification bout at UFC 100 that will also determine just how far the former NCAA and WWE wrestler has come in his still-young MMA career. If he manages to best Mir on July 11, there is a list of up-and-coming 265-pounders who are also waiting for their shot. Is a guy like Shane Carwin a threat to the heavyweight crown? Or is Brock, despite what he says, getting caught up in "la-la land?"

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities have identified the man found in the trunk of a burning car near Tucson, and they confirmed his death was a homicide.
Police Sgt. Chris Widmer said late Friday that the victim was 23-year old Louie Sagala.
No other details about him or the cause of death were immediately released.
On Thursday, firefighters responding to a 911 call about a vehicle fire in the desert found the remains after the fire was put out.
A crowd of people gathered at the scene as authorities responded, and then dispersed as police tried to talk with them.
The vehicle appeared to be a silver two-door passenger vehicle.
Detectives want anyone who noticed anything to call authorities.

Q: I am one of your dedicated viewers and have watched WFAA news for decades. The past few years I've seen a trend that is extremely bothersome to me. There are always comments and/or news stories that one may not like, however Brett Shipp's coverage and negative focus on low-income area schools and African American officials is just too much. I think you have great news programming, but I think you need to review Mr. Shipp's stories. At times, especially with John Wiley Price, it seems more of a personal hatred than a valid news story.
A: Thank you for your thoughtful email, and the kind words about News 8. To suggest that Brett Shipp has disproportionally focused on one school system over another would not be accurate as evidenced by investigations surrounding the Southlake Carroll (http://www.wfaa.com/news/investigates/Southlake-Carroll-scrambles-to-answer-quarterback-eligibility-questions-101394059.html) and the Euless Trinity football programs (http://www.wfaa.com/news/investigates/Southlake-Trinity-coaches-caught-on-tape-101924458.html). Shipp has also covered Dallas County Commissioner's Court for many years. As a public official elected to office, and one named the target of an FBI corruption investigation last summer, Mr. Price has certainly been under the microscope. It is Shipp's job to stay on top of such news. If you could provide specific examples of such issues as you perceive them, that would be instructive.


text: Steve Buscemi as a tough guy mobster who kills people for profit and grabs some prostitute lovin' whenever he feels like it? More, please! Check out a preview trailer for HBO's new period gangster show, "Boardwalk Empire". If it's anything like HBO's "Deadwood" or "Rome", then this thing's got major potential. Hey, having Martin Scorsese direct your pilot and stay on as a producer doesn't hurt, either; I believe he knows a little bit about the mob life.

Think about traditions you enjoy—perhaps eating Thanksgiving turkey or hanging holiday decorations.
Hunting is a favorite tradition of many people. Every year about 24,000 Minnesotans who are at least 11 years old (more than one-third of them are girls and women) get ready to hunt by completing the Hunter Education Firearms Safety Training Program, offered by the Department of Natural Resources.
Learning how to safely handle and shoot a shotgun, rifle, or bow is the first step in becoming a good hunter. To hunt successfully, hunters must understand the animals they are hoping to bag. The best way to learn is to go hunting with a mentor—someone with experience. Fortunately, the DNR and its conservation partners make it easy for young hunters and their parents or guardians to find a mentor to help them get started.
Here are the stories of three young people who are learning to hunt ducks, deer, or wild turkeys. With the help of a mentor, you can learn to hunt too.

CATEGORIES DVDsSummer's biggest, explosion-filled, Megan Fox-laden, robot-vs.-robot action-heavy hit arrives on DVD in 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.' It's like the Fourth of July all over again.
New DVD Movie Releases for October 20
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'
What It's About: In this blockbuster sequel from director Michael Bay, the Decepticon forces return to Earth for more battles against the good-guy Autobots; major bad-boy Megatron also has a score to settle with Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), who thwarted him in the first go-round two years ago. The plot has something to do with something called 'the matrix,' but it's really all about robotic monstrosities morphing out of everyday appliances and vehicles and battling each other in metal-crunching glee.
It's Kind of Like: 'Transformers' ... but bigger and louder
What We Say: You definitely need a scorecard to tell who's doing what to whom; if you've seen one Transformer, you've seen them all. More mindless special effects and CGI than one would ever think was possible, but hey, it hits the mark with its intended audience. And despite the presence of Megan Fox, Sam's heart belongs to his car.
Add to Netflix queue | Buy the DVD | Megan Fox's hottest moments
What It's About: A courtesan (Michelle Pfeiffer, looking radiant) in turn-of-the-century Paris -- La Belle Epoque -- has an erotic affair with a much younger playboy (Rupert Friend), the son of another courtesan. All goes well until an arranged marriage takes the young man away from her. Adapted from Colette's 1920 novel.
It's Kind of Like: 'Dangerous Liaisons' meets 'The Graduate'
What We Say: This art-house lovefest, directed by Stephen Frears, has trouble lighting its own fire; there's just no spark between Pfeiffer and Friend, making their love affair a tad uninvolving. The best parts of the film: The always-reliable Kathy Bates, who's feisty as the young man's mother, and the lush French scenery.

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY – The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Saturday morning that they have suspended center Andrew Bynum "indefinitely" for "conduct detrimental to the team." Bynum did not travel with the team to Boston, where the Cavs and Celtics will play at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Bynum has played in 24 of the Cavs' 28 games this season and has started the last 18. He's had his highs and lows, but has looked rather stiff at times and has shot 42 percent. The Cavs have been worse both offensively and defensively with him on the floor than they've been with him on the bench.
Bynum missed all of last season with knee issues and his desire has been questioned since he was in high school. According to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski, it may be that lack of desire that's at the center of the suspension…
About Bynum suspension, league source tells Yahoo: "He doesn't want to play basketball anymore. He never liked it that much in first place."—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) December 28, 2013
Random thought: This situation may be another reason to appreciate Phil Jackson, who was somehow able to get productive play out of Bynum. Of course, Bynum averaged a career-high 18.7 points and a career-high 11.8 rebounds over 60 games in his final season in L.A. … under current Cavs coach Mike Brown.
Two years later, Bynum isn't the same player and his career in Cleveland could be over. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports that the Cavs are trying to trade him…
Cavs have suspended C Andrew Bynum indefinitely and he's now on the trade block, sources tell ESPN. Story coming soon.—

Barelang Bridge, BATAM
The Barelang Bridge (Jembatan Barelang) is a chain of 6 bridges of various types that connect the islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang, giving the system its name. The smaller islands of Tonton, Nipah, and Setotok (considered as parts of the Batam Island chain itself) connect Batam and Rempang.
The bridge is an icon of the local area and is a popular tourism site. Some locals call the bridge Jembatan Habibie after Jusuf Habibie, who oversaw the project in construction, aiming to transform the Rempang and Galang islands into industrial sites (resembling present-day Batam). However, the bridge site has grown more into a tourist attraction rather than a transportation route.
The total stretch of all 6 bridges total to 2 kilometers. Traveling from the first bridge to the last takes about 20 minutes. Construction of the bridges started in 1992 and took names from fifteenth- to eighteenth-century rulers of the Melayu-Riau Kingdom.
The Tengku Fisabilillah bridge connects Batam and Tonton island. It stretches for 642 meters and is the most popular bridge of all, being a cable-stayed bridge with two pylons. The remaining 5 bridges are mostly standard beam bridges.
Our destination to labun island resort, will accros this bridge. And we can see good view around the way from the bridge to resort.

As the law stands now when Alabamians show up at the polls to vote we do not need a picture ID to prove that we are who we say we are. As a matter of fact, there is an exhaustive list of acceptable forms of ID other than a picture ID that one can currently use.
Such items as a social security card, a birth certificate, a copy of a current utility bill … just to name a few. Starting in 2014, if all is approved, Alabama will require photo identification in order to vote.
This has created a number of firestorms nationally including a rather large partisan one between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats fear that ID laws could suppress votes among people who may not typically have a driver's license and disproportionately affect the elderly, poor and minorities. Republicans look at it as a way to eliminate voter fraud. Both sides stand firmly on their positions.
Ponder this – you need a government photo ID to board an airplane, to write a check, to purchase alcohol, to drive a car but some think it's too much of an unnecessary burden on voters that will cause massive disenfranchisement.
Come on – I wish we could trust everyone to do the right thing but that's not the world we live in. Bring your photo ID, verify yourself, cast your vote legitimately and let's move on.

French Omelet Recipe
This cheesy, chock-full-of-flavor omelet is modeled after one Bernice Morris tasted and loved in a Marshfield, Missouri restaurant. "Mine is so hearty and rich-tasting that folks never guess it's low in fat," she confides.
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup cubed fully cooked lean ham
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, egg substitute, milk, salt and pepper. Coat a 10-in. nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges).
- As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, sprinkle the ham, onion and green pepper on one side and sprinkle with cheese; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate. Yield: 2 servings.

Latrice Ingram heard there was a party at Union Plaza today.
"Some friends told us that this event was going on and we though it sounded fun for the kids and the weather's beautiful so we decided to come," she said.
More than 700 people filled the plaza, many being children. Multiple kid friendly activities won over families.
Arts and crafts along with a rubber ducky race were popular, but it was no competition which booth stood out the most.
"I got a doggie balloon," 5-year-old Alysa Haskell said.
Lincoln Parks and Rec says the children's activities and entertainment are showing off what Lincoln has to offer.
"We've got over 25 different theater companies in Lincoln, hundreds of artists, dozens of galleries, more than 250 bands and this is just a way to kind of bring it all together and heighten people's awareness of all the things there are to do in the city of Lincoln," organizer Brendan Wamstad-Evans said.
Which will have many families coming back for more.
Ingram says she's bringing the kids to the next Party in the Park.
"We love anything that they love to do, the wide open space they can run and get a lot of energy out, so it was fun," she said.
The next party is scheduled for July 27.

Once again, the Boss is untouchable.
Magic is the kind of revelatory, despite-all-odds, nose-to-the-grindstone, rock n' roll that only Bruce Springsteen can create. And as an added bonus, it's the kind that he can only create with the aid of his E Street Band back in full force. It's his first studio album with the band since 2002′s The Rising, a gorgeous sonic remembrance to 9/11 that paid respect and tribute without buying into all the jingoistic crap that seemed to be flowing through American culture like so much bad wine. Springsteen himself even had to step up to remind fans that the album was not a call for war, but a dedication to the victims.
At their base, Springsteen's songs have always been about people before anything else. Whether it is war, national tragedy, racial tensions or recession, they have always been through the lens of ordinary people. His ability to give epic dignity to these stories through his lyrics and sound is almost definitely what has given him his legendarily devoted fan base. Magic is no exception.
That's clear on the album's first track, "Radio Nowhere": a hard-edged renegade anthem that seems to pay as much homage to the garage rock of yesteryear as to its present revival. "I want a thousand guitars / I want pounding drums / I want a million different voices / speaking in tongues." The refrain of "is there anybody alive out there" hearkens the familiar cry of his live shows, when he takes the role of rebel preacher, invoking the kind of cathartic liberation that only the truest rock n' roll can deliver. The hero of "Radio Nowhere" is the lonely driver frantically searching the dial for that liberation. Though he doesn't find it, the song doesn't bemoan this so much as predict and warn of its imminent return.
It's not just the music that he wants back. Just as he calls for a return to the days when music set your soul on fire, he continues to long for the simplicity and security of old
Beneath the surface though, he's pining for something much more meaningful than soda jerks and friendly neighbors. Springsteen's words have always come from some lost heartland of opportunity, where people might be secure in the knowledge that a life of hard work will be repaid with relative comfort. In an
Springsteen is no fool. He sees the heartland slipping away just like any of us do. In "Your Own Worst Enemy" he achingly croons over rousing strings about a man who feels he is losing control of what he thought he once knew. "Yesterday the people were at ease / baby slept in peace / you close your eyes and saw her / you knew who you were / Now your own worst enemy has come to town." It's a story that could apply to any one of us who feel our grip loosening on our lives, in any situation. Until the song's last words, that is, when he declares "your flag it flew so high / it drifted into the sky."
A mere metaphor? Perhaps—were it not for Springsteen's own actions over the past four years. Fans who paid attention to his solo Devils and Dust will hear Bruce's own anger toward the invasion of
In the case of "Gypsy Biker," even the returning soldier's hometown is changed. He returns disillusioned and angry, knowing that "the speculators made their money / off the blood you shed," and hoping to find some respite in his town. But it is divided, lost in the idea of a worthy cause, far from the reality of what that really means:
"Sister Mary sits with your colors
Brother John is drunk and gone
This whole town's been rousted
Which side are you on?
The favored march up over the hill
In some fool's parade
Shoutin' victory for the righteous
But there ain't much here but graves"
The honking harmonica and surging guitars, along with the iconic imagery of the vet-biker, make this a song about escape. With no solace even in his own town, he sets off, doing his best to get away in any way he can. The final lyrics tell of counting "white lines" and getting stoned.
While the images are vividly specific, their time and place are notably vague.
To call all of this a simple case of nostalgia, though, would be off the mark. Bruce's sound has always pointed towards a sense of revival, not mourning; the defiant knowledge that despite everything, his characters do in fact have the power to survive in this world. The critics who put down his lyrics as being "depressing," or "too political" miss the point. Though he may not preach from the mount about why we need to go to the marches and build a movement, he hits us in a deeper way: he challenges us to find that strength somewhere deep inside us that continues to hold our shoulders high.
No song off Magic exemplifies this struggle like the closing tune "Devil's
"You said 'Heroes are needed, so heroes get made'
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and Jim
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin"
The inability to shake the experience, the memory of your friends blown away, the loneliness and alienation of the military hospital, the untold stories beneath the flag-waving and yellow ribbons. It all builds in this song like a slow tide. And it's so real that it's almost heart-stopping.
But as hopelessness seems destined to drag it into sadness and depression, a steady drum-beat leads the band into a symphonic rising and a guitar solo that cries out to be done with it all. As the song reaches its crescendo Bruce sings in poignant testimonial, repeating over and over: "the beat of your heart, the beat of your heart." One final note rings out as Max Weinberg's pounding drum soldiers on, reminding us that the people beneath the uniforms are human being with hearts and souls all their own. Life, after all, is the one thing that matters in this world. In times of war, though, the lives of ordinary people are the first forgotten. In Magic, those lives take center stage.

Personally, I do not upgrade every model... I am happy with my 60D and get great pictures with it. I would rather buy glass than incremental improvement, better glass has benefitted me more than better sensors. If the 70D or 7Dii is worlds above the 60D I might consider it, but I will probably wait for the 80D or 7Diii. It is hard to see great improvement from one model to another but if you look back over several generations the improvements are obvious.
How do you expect the 7DII / 70D will be received initially -

PEORIA, Ill -- As winter temperatures consistently dip below freezing, Illinois American Water want to make sure you keep the water flowing safely in your home.
During this time of year, water pipes are prone to freezing, and that frozen water can lead to other problems such as cracked pipes and flooding.
Officials at Illinois American Water say the easiest way to keep your pipes from freezing is to run a very thin line of water overnight.
However, if your pipes do freeze, there are certain steps you have to take in order to minimize damage to your home.
"The very first thing you want to do if you have frozen pipes is to turn that shutoff valve off so that water is no longer flowing inside the home," said Karen Cotton, Illinois American Water Spokesperson. "Then you want to have it thaw out. Then look for cracks and make sure you don't find any. If you find them, make sure you get them repaired."
Officials also stress that you do not use an open flame to thaw out frozen pipes because of the risk of starting a fire.

CHAPEL HILL — Asbestos is the subject of what we may call reverse greenwash. Greenwash occurs when organizations claim that they are more environmentally friendly than they are. Reverse greenwash occurs when organizations try to scare people into thinking that environmental problems are more serious than they really are.
We can easily see this process with the efforts of law firms to criticize asbestos. Constant television ads promote lawsuits against companies that used asbestos, and some ads suggest that asbestos be banned from all further uses. I searched Google for "asbestos" and found that two of the top three sponsored links recommend filing lawsuits.
The problem with asbestos is that the term is used for two very different minerals. (The scaremongers don't mention this.) Almost all of the material called asbestos is the mineral chrysotile. Chrysotile ores consist of masses of tiny, soft, fibers that are very flexible. They are comparatively easy to mine and separate from surrounding rock.
The other mineral referred to as asbestos is different varieties of amphibole. These amphiboles occur as tiny needle-shaped crystals that break without bending. The broken needles are even sharper than the crystals in the original rock. Amphibole is difficult to mine and separate from its surrounding rock, and most of the amphibole used as asbestos comes from small areas within masses of chrysotile.
The main concern expressed about the use of asbestos is the development of mesothelioma, which the National Cancer Institute defines as "A rare type of cancer in which malignant cells are found in the lining of the chest or abdomen." Now the questions are whether inhalation of asbestos causes mesothelioma; if so, which kind of asbestos; and can asbestos be used safely.
These questions are important because asbestos is very useful. It is inflammable, a good electrical insulator and strengthens the matrix of such diverse products as cement and plastics, including floor tiles. Most asbestos is now used as a binder in cement.
With all of these good qualities, can asbestos continue to be used in our industries? Yes, if we are sensible.
First, we should realize that chrysotile by itself is not dangerous. An article in a 1988 issue of the medical journal Chest stated "although chrysotile asbestos can produce mesothelioma ..., the total number of such cases is small and the required doses extremely large." This observation is supported by the fact that no danger has ever been reported from chrysotile that occurs naturally in the environment. This comes about because chrysotile-bearing rocks decompose ("weather") easily and release chrysotile to be distributed by water and wind.
Obviously, it is important to use face masks to keep miners and mill workers from inhaling large quantities of chrysotile. That is no different from the protection required by miners against coal dust, lumber mill workers against sawdust or other mill workers against all types of dust.
Another reasonable precaution is to make sure that we mine chrysotile that does not contain amphibole. This can be done by thorough sampling of the ore body before mining. Geologists can easily distinguish chrysotile and amphibole with a microscope and point out areas where mines will produce only chrysotile.
Using chrysotile only in products such as cement and tiles adds another level of safety. The asbestos is safely locked into these materials and cannot be released during normal use.
The benefits and lack of hazards in using chrysotile show that we should continue to use asbestos in our industrial society. In particular, we shouldn't let reverse greenwashing frighten us away from it.

Clarion University Department of Physics will once again show the holiday planetarium show, "Season of Light."
The festive, 40-minute show traces the development of many of the world's most endearing holiday customs, from the burning Yule log, sparkling Christmas tree lights and candles in windows, to the lighting of luminarias in the American Southwest and the traditional ritual of the Hanukkah Menorah. All of this will take place under the splendor of the winter sky. For those with young children, fear not, nothing will be disclosed concerning the man in the red suit.
There will be five showings:
7 p.m. Nov. 29
7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Dec. 6
7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Dec. 13
The show is free and open to the public. There are no tickets or reservations. The doors will open for the first showing at 6:30 p.m., and no one will be allowed entry once the shows begin. The planetarium holds approximately 65 people, so arriving 20 minutes early is recommended.
The planetarium, which is wheelchair accessible, is on the second floor of the Joseph P. Grunenwald Center for Science and Technology. Parking is available in Lot 12, behind Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts Center, and Lot 11, across the street from Waldo S. Tippin Gymnasium. The best way to access the planetarium is through the main entrance of the Science and Technology Center on Greenville Avenue. For more information, contact Sharon Montgomery, 814-393-1899.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.
