Village resident Joyce Hatton and about 30 volunteers collected 383 signatures over the past two months to get the question of dissolving the village on the Aug. 7 ballot. Hatton said if the village disincorporated and became part of the township, village residents would save hundreds in annual village taxes.
Hatton turned in the petitions on Friday, several days before today's deadline.
But according to village attorney Bob Sullivan, even if the petition is certified by the county and two-thirds of registered village voters approve the ballot measure in August, "there appears to be no authority for the village residents to vote for such an action."
The village was chartered under the Home Rule Village Act of 1909, according to Sullivan, and that act makes no provision for dissolution of a village.
"The vast majority in Michigan are General Law villages," Sullivan told Village Council at a work session Monday night, adding that it appears the petition was circulated under the rules of the General Law Villages Act of 1895.
Sullivan said if the petition cannot do what it was intended to do, it cannot be withdrawn once it is filed.
Hatton was not at Monday night's council work session.
"As far as I'm concerned, the petitions are good," Hatton said later Monday night. "They were certified and they were filed. I'm looking forward to a successful vote. Until someone formally objects, I just assume it's going to go through."
Village Council is expected to formally vote on a course of action at 7 p.m. Monday, May 21.

text: Communiqué The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce September 2009 Welcome NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration)! The foundation for this achievement has been decades in the making, and has involved small businesses, large businesses, individuals, for profits, non-profits, and city, county, state, and federal governments. It is a large puzzle made up of small, medium, and large pieces, with each of us important in making the finished picture. There has been a contract signing, a ground breaking, and soon, a welcoming BBQ with some of the NOAA employees and families considering a move to Newport. This event is planned for the last weekend of September, and will be a continuation of a showcase for our community. Individuals and families will be 'shopping' for homes, banks, schools, doctors, dentists, restaurants, places to buy their gas, clothes, furniture, gifts, and so much more. We will all want to put our best foot forward, so please take a look at your storefront, your home, your neighborhood.....make sure that your are looking good with curbs clear of weeds, litter, and those never ending cigarette butts....shrubs trimmed, lawns mowed, signs bright and cheery, mailboxes marked, addresses easy to find. I drive our city streets every day and see trash piled into bushes surrounding business parking lots, curbs with litter and cigarette refuse in the gutters, parking strips and curbsides filled with weeds, and empty storefronts that look forgotten. I also see businesses and private properties that are amazingly wonderful! They are landscaped, kept free of litter, well maintained, and invite folks to stop, linger, and stay awhile. We want NOAA employees, their families, and others considering a move, to make Newport their home. Our curb appeal is our face to our visitors. Our residents are our ambassadors, each making that best first impression. Each of us is important in presenting the picture of Newport we want all to see. Please take that seriously......check your 'curb appeal' and be ready for a new addition to our family....NOAA! ~Linda Neigebauer Our Mission Statement...

As we wrapped up August, the Chamber held a Friday Luncheon called $5-Buck Friday. This BBQ, which was held at the Newport Parks and Recreation Center has become an annual event. It's one I always look forward to. Everyone arrives in a good mood with a smile to match, and they remain that way all throughout the luncheon! This year, they had an even bigger reason to smile as they arrived. Lunch was on Umpqua Bank. Doug Hunt asked if we would mind terribly if Umpqua sponsored this year's luncheon, and we gratefully accepted the offer. (It was rather like asking your dog to hold your cheese sandwich). It is safe to say that Umpqua Bank and Doug Hunt are "Can-Doers". We like having these events at the Newport Recreation Center. The Parks and Recreation team helped our event run so smoothly, they made sure that we had everything we needed, from tables and chairs to a monster grill, they made it look so easy! All we had to do was arrive, and prepare lunch. They even had another function in part of the room we were going to be using, which wasn't slated to leave until 11:30. A tight turn-around, but they handled it seamlessly. It is safe to say that the Newport Parks and Recreation Team are "Can-Doers". Enter Rich Glasgow of Lin-Com 911. (Thankfully) Rich dropped into the preparation madness about a half hour before the luncheon and simply said "I'm here to grill." He flipped burgers and hot dogs and fed the masses, without as much as us asking him to do so. He just jumped in and took on the task. It's not uncommon for Rich to jump in and roll up his sleeves at Chamber functions as well as many community functions. We first met Rich when he was the Commander at the Coast Guard station and his wife Linda worked at the Chamber. Through Linda and Rich the Chamber and the Coast Guard developed a great relationship that led to many joint community projects. Rich has been and continues to be one of the Chambers "assets". He is an inspiration to other volunteers and is always very humble about his accomplishments. It is safe to say that Rich Glasgow is a "Can-Doer". Newport gets NOAA! Probably the most exciting news for Newport in years! An idea that became a reality due to the diligence of Don Mann, The Port of Newport Commissioners and staff, the County, the City of Newport, the community, and the list goes on and on. (Too many to list here) Everyone involved brought a piece of the puzzle together to create success! There have been some celebrations, and will be many more along the way in this community. Many signs and reader boards are springing up with the words "Newport Welcomes NOAA". I urge you to join in and show your support as we continue to receive many visitors in the coming months from NOAA! It is safe to say that the vision minded community partners who made this happen for Newport and the State of Oregon are "Can-Doers". If you look at the above examples, remember that we Beach Vacation Getaway: could list a gazillion more just like it. The people Year-Round Fun at the Beach and businesses in this community know how to get * A GATHERING PLACE in and roll their sleeves up. They know how to make * SAND DOLLAR BEACH HOUSE * BEACH DRIVE BUNGALOW things happen. They know how to make a difference. www.beachvacationgetaway.com It is safe to say that Newport Can-Do! 206-935-7921 or 206-769-9622 ~Lorna Davis Page 6 September 2009 MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 Ambassador Showcase @ 5 Starfish Point Beautification Committee @ 8am Luncheon @ Best Western Program: Port of Newport Update on NOAA 6 7 8 9 10 11Ambassador Showcase @ 12 "Chamber in Action" SWF Committee Business After Hours Ocean View Radio Show on Meeting @ 8:00am Hosted by KNPT 1310 AM On The Fly, Inc. at 8:35 a.m Executive Board @ Chamber Office Luncheon @ OCCC South Meeting @ 5:15pm From 5:15 to 7 pm Beach Campus Program: OCCC 13 14 15 16 17 18 Ambassador Showcase @ 1 9 "Chamber in Action" PAADA Hwy Clean-Up Radio Show on Meet @ Chamber KNPT 1310 AM 8:00am at 8:35 a.m Luncheon @ Embarcadero Program: Oregon Coast Aquarium Update 20 21 22 23 24 25 Ambassador Month-End 2 6 "Chamber in Action" Leadership Lincoln @ Chamber Radio Show on 8:30 am - 2:30 pm KNPT 1310 AM at 8:35 a.m Luncheon @ Shilo Program: Oceanic Renewable Energy 27 28 29 30 1 2 Ambassador Showcase @ "Chamber in Action" Surftides Hotel Radio Show on October KNPT 1310 AM at 8:35 a.m Luncheon @ Embarcadero Program TBD Would you believe that nearly 500 past, present, and future Lincoln County leaders proudly list themselves as graduates of the Leadership Lincoln Program? Co-sponsored by Oregon Coast Community College and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, the program has remained strong and viable in part through the continued support of key individuals such as yourself who either attend the program themselves, or support attendance by others in their organization. Referrals, participation in class sessions, and positive comments from graduates and other community leaders have all contributed greatly to Leadership Lincoln's success and longevity. Oregon Coast Community College and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce are excited to host a new session of the Leadership Lincoln Program, now in its 18th year. A select group of 30 to 40 participants will attend the 2009- 2010 class. The goal of this program is to develop leadership and management skills for individuals who have interest and commitment in the future of Lincoln County and to provide networking opportunities that will enhance positive professional and organizational growth. Interesting and informative guest speakers present a variety of timely topics Leadership chosen to better inform participants about key issues in Lincoln County. Classes will be held once a month on the third Wednesday of Lincoln each month from September through June, with the exception of the first class in September (September 23rd) and the November class will be Tuesday, November 10th. A Program class schedule is enclosed. All classes begin at 8:30 A.M. and conclude at 2:30 P.M. Exceptions are the September and December sessions which both last until 4:30 P.M. Three makeup sessions are scheduled, each lasting from 8:30 2009-2010 A.M. until noon. The program concludes with a celebration dinner and graduation ceremony in June, 2010. West Coast Bank has again offered a Scholarship for a non-profit employee to attend this year's program. All Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce participants of the 2009-2010 Class will earn six college credits upon completion of the program. The Administrative Team for the program includes Instructor of Record, John Baker (Northwest Management Specialists), and Coordinators Janice Redford (Oregon Coast Community College) and Lorna Davis of the Chamber.

This upcoming "Oregon Float™" promotion allows your customers, clients, guests and visitors to sign up to WIN a glass float at your business. Unlike ordinary glass fishing floats, these unique collector's floats are individually hand blown, multi-colored and differ in size, color and design. Each is specially designed and produced by Pyromania Glass Studio in Aquarium Village. Oregon Floats will be on display throughout the community at participating businesses during the months of November, December and January. Our goal is to have people visit each of these businesses to enter their drawings, and in the process we hope they'll do some additional shopping. Drawings will be held at the end of January to identify the winners. How can you be a part of this promotion? Every Chamber member is eligible to sign up for one or more Glass Float Packages. Each package will include two glass floats, entry forms, and all of the support materials needed for the drawing, plus participants will receive recognition in media releases through the Chamber's regular newspaper and radio features and at Chamber events.

There is way to determine location (on a map) remote IP.
Was wondering how to determine user location if I now local IP?
If you are talking about an IP address in the Private Domain (192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x, 10.x.x.x) then it is impossible to determine as there can be duplicates of these IPs anywhere in the world.
If you are talking about an IP address in the Public Domain, you can google for one of the countless IP location services available, just enter the IP, and it will give you APPROXIMATE information about it's location, sometimes specific information if the IP address is allocated to a business.

We have four throw blankets by Marlo Lorenz and have been looking for the perfect pillows to match for our sunroom. This group of pillows I ordered fit the bill perfectly and are great quality. We're very pleased.
Just got back from Hawaii, and this pillow definitely reminds me of that. The stitching is lovely, and the pillow is quite firm. Got this one and one with an octopus for my sofa.
I have been looking for throw pillows that would suit a boy/girl shared bedroom without over powering the whole room with pink. These underwater themed pillows (crab, octopus, seahorse, turtle) were perfect for this. The pillows are feathered inserts which I removed and placed less allergy/dust mite inserts. The detail of the sea creature embroidery looks great on a natural fabric background. Very happy with these pillows.
I originally bought this thinking it was more appropriate for my toddler's room...but when it came in, we left it on a chair in our living room, and that's where it's stayed ever since. I didn't realize how well made it would be when I ordered it...it is a smaller pillow (16" square), but it's feather-filled and the fabric has a nice linen-esque texture. The turtle is embroidered. I like that the materials and construction are pretty traditional but the pattern is kind of fun. We also live close to the beach so it's a nice, subtle nod to our nautical surroundings.
Looking to update a sofa that probably should be replaced shortly. Purchased some new pillows in the same color palate - this was a nice addition. Do wish they would make pillows washable - much more user friendly then.

Letters: Why MPs' pay rise is essential
These letters were published in the 21st December edition of the Independent
The Ipsa proposals on MPs' pay need sober consideration, not the posturing coming from all sides of Parliament. These proposals are vital to move the pay of our representatives away from the world where people pay themselves as little as possible, to reduce their tax liabilities, to the world where most of us live, where you are taxed as per the tax codes on your true earnings.
The country has become increasingly characterised by two large blocs within the working population. One is the traditional paid worker, who throughout their working life, enjoys a simple if unspectacular remuneration, sometimes with the occasional bonus, but in essence paying taxes on all earnings. Typically, this group is the butt of attacks from the right, enjoying as they do (or did), cushy pensions and easy, undemanding jobs, often in the public sector.
Then there are the wealth-creators of right-wing mythology, of the self-employed variety. This group, albeit when established and relatively successful, are able to "expense" through their businesses many of the essentials of life that the rest of us have to pay fo0r through taxed income: travel, hotels, children's iPads and mobile phones, and home running costs of every kind. They divide their income with a spouse, who may play no part in the business in reality, again to reduce the tax they pay.
Our parliamentary representatives have lived in this latter world, often their MP's salary is not their primary source of income, and the lower it is, and the higher the expenses, the better off they have been.
It's high time something was finally done to address this, and Ipsa's proposals are a step in the right direction.
Peter Morris
At the time of the Falklands War, an MP earned exactly the same as a mid-seniority army major. The major had served at least a decade before reaching that level of pay, the MP had it from day one. Since then, any equality has disappeared as successive parliaments have given themselves rises that the rest of us can only dream of.
This latest 11 per cent increase will push an MP's salary £20,000 higher than that of today's army major. Is there a single MP who believes he can justify this difference?
David Rae
Melksham, Wiltshire
In the recent discussion on the MPs' proposed salary increase, much has been made (by Ipsa) of the point that it is part of a package which includes reduced pension benefits.
However, the reduced pensions proposed are still six times more generous than the annuity rates on offer to citizens working in private enterprise. I would strongly urge MPs to spend a little time pursuing the appalling annuity rates on offer in the private sector as highlighted (again recently) by the Financial Services Consumer Panel before they sort their own pay and conditions out.

Filleted Shakespeare
My Year Ten son came home from school the other day raging about the English assessment he had been set. It was on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and he was furiously disappointed with his school, which is an Academy with a very good Ofsted report.
Having watched Baz Luhrman's film of the play for a week, yesterday he was handed a photocopied booklet with short extracts from four scenes from the play. He put his hand up and asked, "When are we going to read the play?" The answer was, "We aren't. There's not time."
In Year Eight, my son studied Shakespeare in the same school. The play? Romeo and Juliet. "Well, we skimmed parts of it," he says.
So when he finishes his GCSEs he will have studied less than an eighth of one Shakespeare play. "How will I be ready for A-level or university?" he asked. How could I reassure him? He won't.
The saddest part is that in many ways I understand his teachers' actions. I'm sure they didn't train to be English teachers to short-change their students and to fillet English literature to a meaningless pile of bones, but the combined pressure of school league tables and appraisal procedures makes them desperate to take the straightest route to exam success.
On the other hand, I am deeply disappointed that they succumb to those pressures. But whether I should be most angry at Ofsted and the Department of Education or his teachers and his school is in a way irrelevant – between them they have failed my son, his classmates, and Shakespeare too.

Christmas lockdown amazes foreigners
We wanted to attend a service at St Paul's Cathedral on Christmas Day, but when we googled Transport for London we discovered that there is no public transport on the day. No tube, bus, tram; not even a Eurostar train out of the country. It will be too far for us to walk into town and taxis are too expensive
When I informed my niece in Germany about this, she emailed me back asking: "Are they crazy? How do they get from A to B at Christmas?" Answer: without cars, they don't.
Neighbouring European countries put on extra services at this time, recognising that many people need to travel across town or farther afield during this public holiday. Britain just forces its population on to the roads, or to stay at home.
Further internet search uncovered many panicked or incredulous messages from foreign visitors who had no idea that they would be stuck for 48 hours. I wonder how badly tourism is affected by this lockdown.

Looking forward to the newsletters
Among the more recent seasonal traditions, the one I most look forward to is the annual slagging-off of the Christmas family newsletter. How good to see it adhered to in your letters column once again this year. I enjoy the tradition almost as much as I do receiving the letters. To all their detractors I would simply offer a sincere and hearty "Up Yule!"

Pickles' bid to censor local councils
My response to Eric Pickles' proposed code of conduct for councils' publications is "How dare he?" This is an outrageous interference with local democracy. Local government has been undermined since the Thatcher era, but this proposal is unbelievable for its barefaced cheek.

End of the war to end war
If we really have to find something to celebrate as a centenary of the First World War, would it not be more appropriate to wait until 2018 and celebrate the end of the war instead of its beginning?
Ted Ring
Dire results of fundamentalism
No explanation of the actions of Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, who killed Fusilier Lee Rigby, is complete without mentioning that Islam prioritises war more than any other worldwide faith (if we except Marxism).
Unfortunately this was not an invention of al-Qa'ida. What the Quran actually says, among other things, is: "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. . . But if they repent. . . let them go their way" (9:5) and "Fight in the way of God with those who fight you, but aggress not" (2: 186). The Bible also has God giving the Israelites "the land of all the peoples that I have wiped out" (Joshua 23:4).
The emphasis on holy war in traditional Islam can be explained by saying it had to contend with two military empires (and the Byzantine-Roman empire was more persecuting than the pagan Roman empire had been). Such texts are now, not unreasonably, usually taken to mean no more than reasonable self-defence. These problems are peculiar to text-based revealed religions, in particular the Abrahamics.
However, we should not fail to notice that it is easier for a Muslim fanatic to claim, however spuriously, scriptural justification for violent acts than it is for a Christian fanatic.
Antony Black
Emeritus Pofessor

University of Dundee
Your item "UK evangelist says Tom Daley 'is gay because his father died' " (19 December) appeared on the same day that two Muslims were found guilty of the barbaric and savage murder of Lee Rigby.
Fundamentalism in the forms seen in these cases is nothing more than a blind adherence to a narrow, ignorant and anti-intellectual reading of their respective holy books, which is not shared by the main stream of either faith. How right it was of the leaders of Islam in this country to express themselves so forcefully against the action of these two men, and of the Bishop of Chichester to denounce the Christian evangelist and her reported support for anti-gay laws in Jamaica.
Such opinions and actions serve only to increase the number of atheists and cause Christian and Muslim leaders further headaches.

I got a brew coming up Thursday before I leave town for a week. My first Imperial IPA I don't have any experience with any of these hops aside from cascade. Heres the recipe; I'm planning on doing continuous additions ala DFH. Let me know what ya think.
13.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM)
0.75 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.75 lb Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Victory Malt (25.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Dextrose-Corn sugar (0.0 SRM)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop)
1.00 oz Warrior [15.00 %] (60-35 min)
0.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (60-35 min)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (35-0 min)
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (35-0 min)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (35-0 min)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (Dry Hop 10 days)
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (Dry Hop 10 days)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (Dry Hop 10 days)
The grain bill is kinda strange. Melanoiden malt to give a malty taste, and almost two pounds of crystal for sweetness and body, victory for toasty malt notes, and then corn sugar to negate those? I don't quite get it. I would definitely lose the melanoiden malt, and the carapils.
I like an IPA to be balanced, but definitely not malty sweet and "thick".
I love a combo of simcoe and amarillo hops. I've never used cascade in that combo, but it sounds great.
I was fixating on head retention, uneccessarily I think, thats why I was thinking carapils, and I'm curious about melanodin. But I think I'll heed that advice, thanks Yoop.
i would ditch the dextrose because it will only thin out the beer. Assuming you still want some biscuty notes consider lowering the crystal to 10L and keep the victory so it will still be within color range. Ditch the melanoiden malt.
Mash long and low to try and get this to attenuate down fully and use a large starter of healthy american yeast like cal ale wlp001.
I also love warrior hops but i dont know that you would want them to have a continuous presence. They have a wonderful peppery quality but i dont know that it would go so well with the other hops you have going here. Just my $ .02
taking the crystal down to 10L lowered the color out of range, How about adding a little more victory to .75 or a full pound ?
For the yeast, I'm planning on using pacman.
Should I replace the warrior with something? More simcoe perhaps? I also have a bunch of northern brewer? what do you think?
i never put it into any calculation i was just figuring it would still be within range. 20L would be fine then. I use northern brewer as the bittering hop for my IPA and it works well. Warrior would probably be fine- i just wouldnt continuously hop it. Do a 60 minute addition and thats it. Whatever you do will intermingle with a little time so you really cant screw up too bad. Ipa's are so hoppy that it will cover up alot of mistakes....
HUGE starter is key- pacman will be great if you can get your hands on it
word. I think I'll stick with the single addition of warrior.
I do want the biscuity notes of the victory though, would taking it up to a pound be a bad thing?
I got the pacman chillin in the fridge, I'll start ramping it up today or tomorrow. Thanks for the quick replies!
victory is very distinctive. I would brew it as is- you will still have some biscut from that.
When are you brewing?
I'm brewing Thursday. I appreciate the feedback, I'll let ya know how it goes. Thanks!

The "killer child" film is an intriguing niche, one in which the perceived innocence of kids runs in sharp contrast to their violent actions on screen. It's a gimmick, to be sure, but quite a few such movies have reached beyond pure shock value to create great moments of thrills, chills and even depth.
25. Children of the Corn (1984)
One of the films most synonymous with the "killer kid" genre, this Stephen King adaptation actually isn't all that great, but it creates enough atmosphere -- especially in an early massacre scene -- to make it entertaining.
24. The Pit (1981)
It will never be confused for a good movie, but The Pit remains absurdly watchable, thanks to its fascinating train wreck of a lead character. Watching 12-year-old Jamie is like watching a serial killer hitting puberty. He's an emotionally disturbed, pathologically lying perv who looks up women's skirts and sends harassing photos of naked women to his teachers. His teddy bear is even more pervy, prodding him even further into voyeurism. If there's anyone who shouldn't be trusted with a pit full of maneating troglodytes, it's him. But unfortunately for everyone else, he's the one who discovers the pit, and his natural inclination is to lure people he doesn't like (of which there are many) to it and push 'em in.
23. It's Alive (1974)
The idea of a mutant killer baby is laughable, but cult writer/director Larry Cohen treats it with a remarkably straight face in It's Alive. The seriousness is helped by the fact that the claw-footed kid -- little more than a cheap rubber doll -- isn't shown much. Mostly you just hear it off screen, crying and screaming when it's scared...which is a lot.
22. Firestarter (1984)
21. The Children (1980)
In this entertaining low-budget feature, six children on a school bus ride through a toxic cloud from a nearby nuclear power plant, turning them into zombies. These zombies aren't interested in eating anyone, though. The twisted plot has them developing the ability to burn people alive with their hands, meaning that all the kids have to do to kill their parents is to give 'em a hug.
20. Case 39 (2010)
Playing like a feature-length version of the classic Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life," this long-delayed and underrated flick starring Renee Zellweger as a social working hired to handle a troubled girl delivers solid, if derivative, entertainment value.
19. Sick Boy (2012)
One of the more underrated killer kid movies, Sick Boy's classic babysitter-in-peril setup is turned on its head when the source of the peril turns out to be the child she's babysitting. Cinematic direction, oodles of atmosphere, a strong cast and realistic, well-rounded characters overcome the low production value and make this a true diamond in the rough.
18. Kill, Baby...Kill! (1966)
Italian legend Mario Bava directed this tale of the ghost of a six-year-old girl (although the actress appears to be much older) who seeks vengeance on the residents of a small Transylvanian village who let her die years before. Despite a silly American title, this is a somber film that showcases Bava's visual style, with kinetic camerawork, dreamlike sequences and lush colors.
17. Pet Sematary (1989)
In this Stephen King adaptation, a grief-stricken man buries his young son's body in a magical burial ground that resurrects corpses. However, when the tyke returns, as they say down South, "That boy ain't right." It seems he's developed a fondness for the feeling of scalpels slicing through human flesh. Frankly, though, since he's just a toddler, he's hardly scary (And somehow, despite being run over by a tractor trailer, he has only a small scar on his forehead.). It's a testament to the movie, then, that it remains entertaining despite a nemesis you could pick up and toss with one hand.

Popular sovereignty allowed the settlers of a federal territory to decide the slavery question without interference from Congress. This lesson plan will examine how the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 affected the political balance between free and slave states and explore how its author, Stephen Douglas, promoted its policy of popular sovereignty in an effort to avoid a national crisis over slavery in the federal territories.
During the Revolutionary War there were several attempts made to end the fighting. In this lesson students will consider the various peace attempts made by both sides during the Revolutionary War.
By studying other female characters in The Awakening, students will see how Chopin carefully provides many examples of a socially acceptable "role" that Edna could adopt.
Look into the sources of the Wife's sermon on women's rights to learn how real women lived during the Middle Ages.
Introduce to your students concepts of realism, a literary movement in the 19th century that focused on reporting aspects of "common" life, through Kate Chopin's The Awakening.
In 1691, a group of girls from Salem, Massachusetts accused an Indian slave named Tituba of witchcraft, igniting a hunt for witches that left 19 men and women hanged, one man pressed to death, and over 150 more people in prison awaiting a trial. In this lesson, students will explore the characteristics of the Puritan community in Salem, learn about the Salem Witchcraft Trials, and try to understand how and why this event occurred.
This lesson plan explores the contributions of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during World War II, and their aviation legacy.
The newly re-elected Abraham Lincoln sought to unite the American people by interpreting the waning conflict as a divine judgment upon both sides of the war. This lesson will examine Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address to determine how he sought to reunite a divided country through a providential interpretation of the Civil War.
This lesson will look at the partisan political issues which emerged in the election of 1864 around Abraham Lincoln's role as a wartime president. Through an examination of primary documents, students will focus on Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus, the Emancipation Proclamation, his decision to arm the freed slaves, his refusal to accept a compromise peace with the South, and the election of 1864.
Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a frank look at a woman's life at the turn of the 19th century. Published in 1899, Chopin's novella shocked critics and audiences alike, who showed little sympathy for the author or her central protagonist, Edna Pontellier. A master of craft, Chopin wrote a forceful novel about a woman who questioned not only her role in society, but the standards of society itself.
In this curriculum unit, students will explore how Chopin stages the possible roles for women in Edna's time and culture through the examples of other characters in the novella. By showing what Edna's options are, Chopin also exhibits why those roles failed to satisfy Edna's desires. As students pursue this central theme, they will also learn about Chopin, her life, and the culture and literary traditions in which she wrote. Many late 19th century writers reacted against an earlier wave of sentimental writings, focusing instead on an approach more akin to "realism"—studies of daily affairs and commonplace events. Part of Chopin's realism relies on regionalism or local color writing, a style of writing that emphasizes regional differences in terms of language, dialect, religion, cultural expectations, class societies, and so on. Readers follow Edna—a Protestant from Kentucky—in her encounters with Catholic Creole society in Louisiana. Edna's role as "outsider" allows for a comparison between two different Southern cultures and her awakening in part results from the clash of the two world views.
Review the lesson plan. Locate and bookmark suggested materials and other useful websites. Download and print out documents you will use and duplicate copies as necessary for student viewing.
Download, print, and copy for students the PDF, used in Lesson 3.
E-texts of The Awakening are freely available at the following locations:
The websites used in Lesson 2 provide a greater amount of detail -- and complication -- of literary realism of the 19th century, but the following two definitions serve as good starting points.
In its literary usage, the term realism is often defined as a method or form in fiction that provides a "slice of life," an "accurate representation of reality."
— from the Columbia Dictionary of Modern Literary and Cultural Criticism, ed. Joseph Childers and Gary Hentzi
Literary realism is a 19th century conception related to industrial capitalism. In general, it means the use of the imagination to represent things as common sense supposes they are.
—from Bloomsbury Guide to Literature, ed. Marion Wynne-Davies
Literary realism is a variable, complex, and often argued about concept. No one work is a perfect example of 'realism'—Lesson 2 allows students to read through some basic attributes of realist literature in order to use that context to examine The Awakening. Practitioners of a realist style in the American tradition include William Dean Howells, Mark Twain, and Henry James.
These two literary terms are often used interchangeably, and certainly they have many similarities. For the purposes of this lesson, students should not need to differentiate between the two, but for the teacher's clarity the Encyclopedia of Southern Culture, excerpted in the EDSITEment-reviewed website Documenting the American South, distinguishes them as follows:
Although the terms regionalism and local color are sometimes used interchangeably, regionalism generally has broader connotations. Whereas local color is often applied to a specific literary mode that flourished in the late 19th century, regionalism implies a recognition from the colonial period to the present of differences among specific areas of the country. Additionally, regionalism refers to an intellectual movement encompassing regional consciousness beginning in the 1930s.
In The Awakening, as well as her short stories, Chopin frequently focused on the Creole culture of Louisiana. Unique regional features included a heritage that drew from French and Spanish ancestry, a complex caste system, the settings of urban New Orleans and rural vacation retreats like Grand Isle (located on the Gulf Coast). Chopin's use of a culturally foreign protagonist—Edna was a protestant from Kentucky, rather than a French-speaking Catholic Creole like her husband—casts cultural differences into even sharper relief. Specific textual examples of Edna's encounter with Creole culture can be found in Lesson 2.
Chopin's The Awakening is set in Louisiana—in the resort town of Grand Isle, as well as New Orleans. Often, the characters slip into French phrases, or Chopin uses words that might be unfamiliar to students—such as Creole or quadroon. Students should be encouraged to use either a print or online dictionary while reading—the Internet Public Library has several available, including Dictionary.com, which provides both English and French dictionaries.

Bravotv.com: What do you usually eat when you're on the road? (both on the bus and at venues)
Jesse Carmichael: We try and eat as healthily as possible on the road... lots of balanced plates with the freshest food we can find (local and organic whenever possible). Also, every day we make a green juice with things like kale, spinach, broccoli, celery, parsley, cucumber, lemon, and apple, sometimes ginger too.
Bravotv.com: What's the best thing/worse thing you've ever had while on the road?
JC: The best thing I've had on the road is food from our amazing chef Nedra. The worst is some of the processed foods from different airports, but you gotta eat, so sometimes you just gotta pretend it's delicious.
Bravotv.com: When the Foo Fighters were on it was revealed that bacon is actually on their rider -- any fun food you can reveal about yours?

(Try another unique approach: Double Tension Training: Taking Your Dumbbell Chest Exercises to the Next Level.) You shouldn't do the same set workout on every chest day.

Begin in normal, pronated dumbbell press position As you drive up, turn your pinkie fingers in toward each other and flex, letting the ends of the dumbbells touch in the middle at peak contraction Return to a pronated position on the negative and repeat Dumbbell Flys This is a good warm-up exercise to fill your chest out before tackling heavier pressing movements.

Muskego considers taking quicker path to new trail
Racine Avenue segment may be pushed up one year
Muskego - A recreational trail segment planned for Racine Avenue in 2014 could take shape next year if the Muskego Parks and Recreation Board can work it into next year's budget.
The trail, estimated to cost $250,000 to $300,000, would extend from the 7900 block of Racine, near Culver's Restaurant, to Woods Road, where Muskego High School is located.
Craig Anderson, the city's parks and recreation director, said the board wanted to do the trail earlier than planned because so many people including high school students use Racine Avenue and traffic there is fast.
It would make it easier for students to get to and from school and would provide a safe place to walk for pedestrians in general and for those going to special events at Veterans Park, city officials added.
The trail, which would likely be on the west side of the street, would link up with the east-west trail that goes all the way through Muskego and lies beside Culver's. It also would link up with other trails, including the Janesville Road trail that will be constructed as part of the Janesville Road widening project going on now.
Alderman Dan Soltysiak who strongly advocated for the trail, applauded the board's June 11 decision, especially for safety reasons.
During citywide events at Veterans Park beside City Hall, Soltysiak said he has seen large numbers of people walking on busy Racine Avenue to the festival grounds, presumably because they couldn't find parking closer to the grounds.
"This will bring in very large numbers of people without having to walk on a very busy highway during those events," Soltysiak said.
The trail also will connect with several other trails, bringing populated parts of the city together and connecting with the Janesville Road trail to an important business district, he said. Not only that, the new trail would be the first north-south bike route on the city's west side, he added.
The city's trail system consists of 8-foot wide paths that are shared by pedestrians and bicycles.
