Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A vibrant vision for Chinatown
Thesis project sees blend of new, historic marketplace
On a late November evening in 1877, the distinctive clip-clop, clip-clop of horses' hooves would pierce through Winnipeg's cold autumn air. The setting sun outlined the silhouette of an overloaded stagecoach staggering along the sharp prairie horizon. Curious onlookers were drawn by the moan of rigid wheels struggling to navigate the city's dusty Main Street. Unfamiliar sounds of foreign voices came from within the American caravan transporting the first three Chinese settlers to the isolated town of 6,500 people.
Charley Yam, the leader of the three, would soon open the city's first Chinese laundry on Post Office Street (now Lombard Avenue). Three months later, demanding better living conditions, his employees would stage an armed revolt. The 'Chinese War' would captivate readers of the Manitoba Free Press, which announced the end of the week-long standoff with the simple message, "Two Chinese laundries are now in operation in this city." Six more would open over the next eight years.
In 1905, the Quong Chong Tai Company opened a grocery at 249 King St., forming the genesis of Winnipeg's Chinatown. In the next year, another grocery and four laundries would open and by 1909 the neighbourhood would take on a distinctive exotic flavour.
Facing significant linguistic and cultural barriers, economic hardship and racial discrimination, early Chinese settlers would band together by isolating themselves on inexpensive land at the fringes of city centres across the country. In search of security, social networks and community support, this voluntary residential segregation would result in the birth of Chinatowns in many Canadian cities.
Winnipeg's Chinatown would reach its zenith in the 1920s, covering six city blocks with King Street as its main commercial artery. With 900 Chinese residents and 300 laundries across the city, the pulsating sidewalks and pungent smells of Chinatown served as the commercial and social focal point of a vibrant community. The area's original wooden structures were replaced with two- and three-storey brick buildings, typically with small-scale commercial storefronts along the sidewalk and residential suites, often for employees in the floors above.
In 1923, the federal government would introduce the Exclusion Act, virtually terminating Chinese immigration to Canada. This resulted in the eventual economic stagnation and physical decline of Chinatown neighbourhoods across the country. By 1938, only 125 Chinese laundries remained in Winnipeg. Many of Chinatown's shops and restaurants began to close as the area fell into decay.
In 1974, architect Gustavo da Roza was commissioned to develop a Chinatown revitalization plan. Typical of the era, the scheme called for a clean-slate redevelopment strategy with the gradual demolition of the entire area, to be replaced with an enclosed shopping mall, recreation space and housing. The grand plan never gained traction but the ideal of top-down, mega-project urban-renewal strategies has lived on ever since.
Like any successful urban neighbourhood, Chinatown's physical character inspired much of its historic vibrancy and street life. Small-scale storefronts created commercial diversity, economic opportunity and intimate, pedestrian-focused streetscapes. Low-rise, mixed-use buildings provided population density and visual connection to the sidewalks.
Chinatown's redevelopment initiatives, past and present, have generally disregarded this traditional neighbourhood character, choosing to focus on large-scale institutional buildings or suburban-style residential highrise projects that are disengaged from the sidewalk and offer little commercial activity or pedestrian vibrancy. These projects have severed the traditional economic and social networks of the neighbourhood, resulting in empty sidewalks, struggling businesses and further proliferation of surface parking lots.
The empty lot on the former site of the Coronation Block, home to the historic Shanghai Restaurant, sits as a poignant reminder of the clean-slate renewal strategies that have been promoted in the area for four decades. With second-floor residential units above a series of small-scale, low-rent commercial storefronts, the building had an ideal configuration to promote organic, ground-up neighbourhood growth and small-business opportunity, but it was demolished last year in hopes one day an assisted-living complex will be built on the site.
After almost 70 years in operation, Shanghai owner Henry Lee sadly closed his iconic restaurant, unable to convince the younger members of his family to be the fifth generation to run the business. Tiffany Leong, one of those young family members with dreams of her own, recently completed her master's degree in architecture at the University of Manitoba.
For her thesis project, she took on the unique personal challenge of investigating opportunities for the site of her great-grandfather's restaurant and the neighbourhood that has been so much a part of their lives.
Leong's project envisions an urban marketplace that restores the historic social and commercial networks of the neighbourhood's past, while providing a modern platform from which a new kind of Chinatown can blossom. Her sensitive, human scale architecture explores ways of re-engaging what once made Chinatown a vibrant urban neighbourhood.
To promote pedestrian activity, her scheme implements a strong sidewalk edge, while creating a welcoming transparency and porosity in the building faßade by incorporating a unique system of awnings, louvres, pocket doors and folding partitions that allow interior spaces to spill open to the sidewalk and an exterior marketplace beyond.
Her small-scale intervention reestablishes Chinatown's traditional mixed-use building configuration with second-storey apartments above street-level shops, accessed through a series of catwalks, intermediate floors and external staircases.
The composition of private and public spaces recaptures the spirit of traditional Chinatown neighbourhoods with intimate hidden spaces and small passageways.
An architectural expression that references traditional Chinese paper art, similar to origami, folds outward into a dramatic roof form, seen as a characteristic element that could proliferate across the empty parking lots of the neighbourhood, unifying new buildings in the district with a signature modern expression.
As Winnipeg's Chinatown continues to redevelop, the lessons of Leong's thesis exploration might provide an inspiring template for future efforts. By moving away from the ideals of mega-project renewal schemes and focusing on design principles that inform strong urban communities, she exposes the importance of embracing fine-grain, street friendly development that facilitates a vibrant street life. Her work re-engages the area's commercial past by providing a range of economic opportunities for its inhabitants, including those immigrants from across the globe who are new to our city and face the same fears and challenges Charley and his two friends did on that stagecoach 136 years ago.

With an eye on assembly polls later this year, Delhi Government is considering freezing all sorts of sealing and demolition in residential and commercial areas in the city.
South Delhi Municipal Corporation today sealed seven properties in Mohan Co-operative Industrial Area for non-payment of conversion charges.
People in unauthorised colonies in
Delhi will not have to live under lurking fear of sealing and
demolition of their houses and shops.
Giving interim relief to Delhi
residents, Parliament on Monday passed a Bill seeking to prevent
sealing of unauthorised commercial constructions in the city
till December 31.
The Delhi High Court Monday directed the Telecommunication Secretary and the MCD
Commissioner to set up a committee comprising technical and
medical experts to inquire about potential health hazards due
to radiation from mobile towers.
In a good news for city traders,
the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Monday said there will
be no sealing of shopping centres for conversion fee dues
before June 30, the last date for the payment of the charges.
The Delhi High Court Thursday stayed the sealing of illegal mobile towers here and asked the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the Cellular Operators Association to resolve the issue amicably.
The MCD on Wednesday sealed 24 illegal
cell towers in central and south Delhi, initiating a drive
against such structures after a deadline for operators to
apply for regularisation expired last week.
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials Wednesday sealed illegally erected mobile phone towers in the national capital.
MCD today said no residential
premises operating commercial units will be sealed without a
48-hour notice.
The MCD`s planned extensive
sealing action against commercial establishments not paying
conversion charges was deferred in some parts of the city
today as traders lined up in large numbers to submit their
Parliament today passed a crucial
bill without discussion, which will allow a major relief to
several Delhiites at least up to December 2010 from sealing
and demolition of unauthorised shops and houses.

Fresh shredded spuds help make egg bake great
I made the best egg bake over the weekend using fresh potatoes I had gotten from my brother.
You can use frozen hash browns in this recipe but I cooked, cooled and shredded a pail full of potatoes in my food processor that needed to be used. I froze some potatoes in Ziplock bags and used the remaining potatoes in my egg bake.

"I don't see what all the hype is about..."
What a bunch of drivel. I had a feeling I might not like this, and I should have listened to that feeling. I wish books came with labels saying "Discovery Written" or "Outline Written". Because these discovery writers tend to go on and on and ON, and they invariably fall in love with what they've written and don't want to cut anything out. What is the great appeal of this book? It is far too long (and they put in another 12k words for the 10th Anniversary Edition!), has way too much language and graphic sex, and is completely, utterly boring. I listened to it at max speed, but I still could not get through this fast enough.
"Fascinating Story - A little Disjointed Too"
I am a big Neil Gaiman fan, so to find American Gods out in a full cast production was irresistible. But I found the narration a bit disappointing. It was, at times, hard to follow the chapters. The characters came and went so quickly it was hard to form any connection. And although the actors were clearly talented, I had a sense that a single reader could have been more effective.
Altogether an interesting story. Not the best narration, but not the worst either.
"Better as an audiobook than paper one"
There are so many characters and so many different accents and personas that I found it easier and more enjoyable to listen than to read (I have both audio and paper versions of the book, so I tried both). Love this book.
Sam, the young woman
"More audiobooks should put this much effort in!"
I don't really re-listen to audiobooks. But I'd recommend this to anyone.
Shrug. Other things by Gaiman.
It's a full cast recording! So great!
Nope. Super long. Good book. But that would have been... over a day of sitting.
Good stuff.
"Help! I'm unstuck in time and can't stop listening"
Well, this was a much more creatively entertaining effort than it was an engaging story... a bit less humorous than a Kurt Vonnegut and more obtuse than an older John Irving. It was the narrations by the multiple characters that carried me through some conceptually disjointed transits from Shadow's experiences of real life as it might have been, fantastical journeys of his subconscious, and the editorial tales of historical god mythology. I was alternately "on board" and a passive witness as the story wended its way to the inevitable, if baffling, confrontation with reality. One moment I was captivated by the rich characterizations only to be drawn off into an eddy of meaningless and confusing complexity. The point I'm trying to make is that you'll take away some pleasure from having listened to episodes of well-crafted storytelling, at the cost of feeling a bit taken by a sleight of mind-game.
"Excellent choice"
Listened at the recommendation of several friends. An American mythos that won't disappoint. Very well-read recording. An essential title.
Say something about yourself!
"Wonderfully done!"
I thoroughly enjoy this title and will listen to more Gaiman. The full cast production was amazing--full emersion. Well done indeed.
"A piece of modern art, although not in a good way"
This is a book more suited to readers who care little for cohesion but prefer to imagine that they are themselves unfazed by scary, mind-bending and cryptically unconnected events.
I was hoping that American Gods would deliver a narrative of god versus god or god versus man in a more cinematic sense delivering the range and diversity of the powers and characters of the gods.
Yes, well done although, unfortunately, the narration of the interludes was truly grating with overemphasis of the length of words and sounds.
Interesting concept
It appears that I am one of the few that dislikes this story although many say that it needs a second reading to appreciate it fully. I'm not so sure, nothing remarkable is delivered in its conclusion and I can't express more fully how annoying Shadow's acceptance of events, supernatural and mundane, seemed to be. I would not recommend this book.
An avid reader of all kinds of books. I love classic science fiction writers like Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, and Douglas Adams. But I am, in fact, a "leaf on the wind" when it comes down to it.
"Great Storytellers Still Live!!"
Adventurous, Creative, Masterful
The story unfolds giving you clues about everything but very rarely give you the information straight. If you are not widely read you will be hooked by the compelling story and the bizarre and exciting story arcs. If you are, there will be the addition of an awe of the truly clever and excellent way characters of legend and myth are described giving key features that, to those who know will be a dead give away as to their identity, while seldom telling you outright.
I read too much, like most genre, & am picky about narrators. I like strong characters, great dialogue, & quirky bits!
"I liked it by the time I finished it..."
This book is confusing to listen to, it might be better and easier to manage if you read it for yourself...BUT, that said, the cast really did an excellent job of reading and distinguishing characters! By the second part, I was recognizing characters by the voices immediately. The story starts right in to the meat of the book, Shadow is the central character although he takes the long way round to most points. I wanted him to be OK, I wanted more for him, I didn't like how we left him...so I do hope that Mr Gaiman returns to Shadow's story at some future date. I advise you to settle in and snuggle up for this one, you will get lost if you try to do anything other than pay attention...I had to listen to the whole thing at least twice to be sure I heard it all. I did fall asleep a few times, Shadows voice kept putting me under. Made me feel everything would be allright in the end one way or another. This book kinda reminded me of The Stand by Stephen King. I can't pinpoint why, but it does. I love Neil Gaiman's writing and I hope to see more available on Audible. I especially loved the Graveyard Book, if you haven't read it--DO! Entirely different from this one, but still the oddly skewed perspective central to Mr Gaiman. Please enjoy this read, it is worth the time...and there is insight to seeing your world from an outsider's perspective.

By C. Trent Rosecrans
Where will Ryan Madson end up? Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto says it's probably not going to be Anaheim.
Dipoto, the first-year Angels GM told the Los Angeles Times that it's "very, very unlikely" the Angels would add Madson or any closer.
"What I'll say with some degree of certainty is that our most dignificant acquisitions have already been made," Dipoto said.
"We're trying to add depth, and in a perfect world, we'd like to find another guy to join Jordan Walden, Scott Downs and LaTroy Hawkins to help with those last nine outs. But closer has never been a real priority."
Of course, this could also be posturing by Dipoto.
Walden, 24, recorded 32 saves with a 2.98 ERA as a rookie in 2012. Walden made the All-Star team after starting the season with 20 saves and a 2.84 ERA in the first half. In the second half of the season, he had 12 saves and a 3.22 ERA. Walden struck out 10 batters per nine innings and 3.9 walks per nine. It had been rumored the team wanted to upgrade at the back of the bullpen.
And then there's Madson, who had 32 saves and a 2.37 ERA in his first season as the Phillies closer. Early in the offseason there was a report Madson had agreed to a deal with Philadelphia for four years and $44 million, but then the team signed Jonathan Papelbon instead.
There are few teams still looking for a closer, with the Reds being the team with the most glaring need. However, the Reds don't have the type of money to sign Madson to a huge deal. Cincinnati is currently in talks with incumbent reliever Francisco Cordero to bring him back on a one-year deal.
Madson could try to find a deal like the Yankees gave Rafael Soriano a year ago to be a high-priced set-up man -- even though that didn't exactly work out for the Yankees. Madson and Soriano are both represented by Scott Boras.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @EyeOnBaseball on Twitter, subscribe to the RSS feed and "like" us on Facebook.

Chip Yates, who's known for setting speed records with electric motorcycles, has just set a new world record in his Long-ESA electric airplane. Yates now holds the world record for being the first person to fly an electric airplane over 200 mph. Yates' record-setting flight grabbed the world record at 202.6 mph at the Inyokern Airport in California's Mojave Desert, beating the previous record of 175 mph set by the electric Cri-Cri.
For the record-setting flight, Yates and the Flight of the Century team converted a Long-EZ airplane into the all-electric Long-ESA airplane. The Long-EZ is already known for setting speed and endurance records thanks to its efficient design and it easily cruises at speeds over 200 mph with its gasoline-powered engine. The electric Long-ESA is powered by a 258 horsepower electric motor and the team is currently working on a new Infinite Range Electric Flight mid-air "refueling" technique that provides the ability to swap out the plane's batteries while it is in flight, giving it an unlimited electric flying range.
Yate's flight this week lasted 16 minutes and was his first time flying the electric airplane. Unfortunately, the plane's trip was cut short when "a dead cell killed propulsion following the record run." Next, the team is going to replace the batteries and go for another run, since Yates feels that it's possible to reach even faster speeds.

Weider Nutrition International, Inc. Announces Private Label Production Agreement With Wal-Mart
SALT LAKE CITY, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Weider Nutrition International, Inc. (NYSE: WNI) today announced it was awarded the B-vitamin private label production business for Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT). Commencing in April 1998, Weider will manufacture all configurations of B-vitamins for Wal-Mart's Spring Valley brand.

I have several pots of Peace Lily you can have.
Let me know that you want them and I'll bring them to the FT Worth Swap.

You are welcome to them.
Oh my Goodness ... if they carry POT plants the police may raid them. LOL sorry I had to do that.
I haven't checked here in TX but I know the 99cent stores in Phx AZ carried plants. I did look up the name & saw one in Irving so I plan to check it out to see if they carry them there too.

Combined News
John Linehan: Wild Kingdoms
John Linehan and Beau, Franklin Park Zoo
Photo courtesy Zoo New England
In 1980, John Linehan planned to use his University of Maine degree in wildlife management to improve the lives of wild animals by working in Africa, Alaska or Maine.
While waiting for that dream job to materialize, he took a temporary position in what, for him at that time, was an unlikely field — zookeeping.
As a child growing up in Canton, Massachusetts, Linehan was fascinated by the animals, but found zoos sad and depressing in their approach to helping the public appreciate the beauty and importance of animals.
Years later, the same was true when he got his first zoo keeping job at Boston's 72-acre Franklin Park Zoo, founded in 1912. And it wasn't just at that zoo. The nearby 26-acre Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts, founded in 1905, held the same disappointment.
"When I first started, the two zoos were a joke. They only had farm animals and birds for exhibits. Not only that, inebriated people could just walk right in with no problem, and people could even bring their dogs in. It was an unsafe situation for both animals and humans," says Linehan.
Yet Linehan stayed on because there were so many opportunities for him to make a difference. Every time his weekend came and he was off work for a couple of days, he would always think, "Will these animals be OK if I'm not there?"
He worked as a temporary laborer, zookeeper, head zookeeper, and mammal curator for 21 years. Throughout, Linehan voiced his opinions, concerns and enacted changes in an effort to improve Franklin Park for the animals and the patrons. He also worked to help establish Zoo New England — a nonprofit corporation created in 1991 to operate both Franklin and Stone zoos.
In 2002, Linehan was named president and CEO of Zoo New England, with a depth of experience and high expectations to move the zoological parks more in the direction of educational outreach and conservation.
Today, Zoo New England's mission is to "inspire people to protect and sustain the natural world for future generations by creating fun and engaging experiences that integrate wildlife and conservation programs, research and education."
"Ultimately, modern zoos are a critical component in introducing urban kids to nature," Linehan says. "The zoos introduce the kids to the environment that will lead to a heightened appreciation and understanding of the animals, which will hopefully lead to learning about them in a higher education and, ultimately, will lead to them conserving the animals they grew to love."
Zoo New England is committed to creating an emotional and intellectual connection to animals. Rather than making zoos a passive experience in which people simply view the wildlife, Linehan is working to make the exhibits more interactive, particularly so that children can learn while having fun.
To jump-start that process, Franklin Park is building a new children's zoo that will have fewer animals, but is more interactive and features learning-based activities.
"The planet is like a fuse. If we don't do anything, soon enough all biological ecosystems will start unraveling," says Linehan of the importance of educating younger generations.
Linehan's work focuses on conserving ecosystems and everything in them. That's why Zoo New England is a participates in conservation projects, locally and around the globe.
For example, one of Franklin Park Zoo's head veterinarians also does fieldwork in the cloud forest area of Panama, helping to reintroduce the golden frog that is extinct in the wild. His work involves not only the amphibians, but also human inhabitants in the area, recruiting them to help in the reintroduction effort.
In addition, Franklin Park has introduced a conservation awareness-raising Quarter Token program, called Quarters for Conservation,in which 25 cents of patrons' admission fees goes toward conservation projects. Visitors receive a token upon admission that they then can deposit on-site toward one of a handful of conservation projects. Not only do the visitors know that they are helping to conserve species, they can be involved in deciding which project to fund.
Linehan admits that, even now as a zoo CEO able to bring his leadership vision to bear on improving zoos, he still misses hands-on zookeeping. Now he can only watch as zookeepers and curators perform the duties he used to do. Today he is more of a facilitator, making sure the zoos are running efficiently, and the animals are safe and healthy.
He also gets great satisfaction in helping people — from zoo patrons and donors to urban youths in his after-school programs — gain a healthy perspective on the wild kingdom and its place on the planet.
Making a difference is important to Linehan.
"I want people to come to my zoos and think, 'Wow, those animals are incredible. What can I do in my life to make sure they don't go extinct?'" he says.
People need to know that ecosystems are like a neighborhood, says Linehan, and that we have a reliance on other animals and that we share the planet with them.
WVII Reports on Pen Pal Program Between Business Students, Active Marines
WVII (Channel 7) interviewed Nory Jones, a professor of management information systems at the University of Maine, and several business students about a pen pal program that connects the students with a group of active marines. Students in MBS Corps, the Maine Business School's community outreach organization, send letters and care packages to the marines who are their age and serving in the Middle East. "We have these wonderful students who take time from their busy schedules to just help; to make a difference in the community with all kinds of projects," Jones said of MBS Corps members.
UMaine Students Cited in BDN Report on Plans for Hampden Solid Waste Processing Plant
University of Maine students were mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article about the Municipal Review Committee, a group representing the trash disposal interests of 187 Maine communities, announcing it plans to develop a $60 million solid waste recycling and processing facility in Hampden. The proposed garbage-to-energy facility will feature technology from Maryland-based Fiberight that reuses organic materials in trash to make biofuels, according to the article. In October, the Municipal Review Committee hired a team of students from UMaine's Forest Bioproducts Research Institute (FBRI) led by Hemant Pendse, a UMaine professor who leads the FBRI research team focused on creating and commercializing new bioproducts. The team is tasked with studying the operations of Fiberight to determine if its technology will work in the colder temperatures of Maine, the article states. The report is scheduled to be finished in January.
Landis Mentioned in Berkeley Lab Article on Roman Architecture Research
Eric Landis, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Maine, was mentioned in the Berkeley Lab news release, "Back to the future with Roman architectural concrete." A discovery to understanding the longevity and endurance of Roman architectural concrete was made by researchers using beams of X-rays at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, according to the report. Landis is one of several co-authors of a paper describing the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) titled "Mechanical Resilience and Cementitious Processes in Imperial Roman Architectural Mortar." At UMaine, Landis measured bridging crack morphology using computed tomography scans of fractured mortar specimens, the release states.

Breece's Chinese Economy Course Featured in Mainebiz
Mainebiz published an article on a Chinese economy course taught by James Breece, an economics professor at the University of Maine, who has traveled to China several times. Breece uses a format for the course called the "leveraged flip." Students read assigned textbooks, write papers and view videos outside of class and interact with guest speakers and participate in discussion during class time. "I was surprised by the number of people in Maine with connections to China," he said of finding speakers. Breece also was quoted in the related Mainebiz article, "Trade winds: Maine companies look to Asian growth markets." He said there's been a major shift in firms going to China. "Initially [firms went there] for cheap labor. But now companies go to China to manufacture and to sell in the Chinese market, where the growing middle class is the top consumer," Breece said.
Jackson Quoted in Press Herald Report on New Poultry Processing Plants in Maine
Tori Jackson, an associate professor with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, was quoted in a Portland Press Herald article about two new USDA-inspected poultry processing plants in the state that could spur production and expand the market for Maine birds. "On a national scale probably nobody else would notice. But for us, it is a really big deal," said Jackson, who wrote a 2013 report on the need for more slaughterhouses.
UMaine Museum of Art Mentioned in Press Herald Article on Miami Art Fair
The University of Maine Museum of Art and George Kinghorn, the museum's director and curator, were included in a Portland Press Herald article about Art Basel, a popular art fair in Miami Beach, that attracts artists, curators and gallery directors from all over the country. Kinghorn, who came to Maine from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, Florida, has attended the Miami art fairs more than a dozen times, according to the article. At this year's fair, Kinghorn used money from the museum's acquisition fund to purchase two paintings that will be displayed in the Bangor museum in the spring, the article states. Kinghorn also said he uses the gathering to scout artists to show in Maine.
Rubin Quoted in MediaPost Article on Plunging Gas Prices
Jonathan Rubin, a professor of resource economics and policy at the University of Maine, was quoted in the MediaPost article, "Plunging gas prices put consumers, retailers in a holly jolly mood." Although businesses and consumers are enjoying the cheaper cost, Rubin said the public is "incredibly shortsighted" in that "there can be serious long-term consequences" to low prices.
Press Herald Interviews Kaye About Elderly Suicide
Lenard Kaye, director of the University of Maine Center on Aging and professor in the UMaine School of Social Work, spoke with the Portland Press Herald about elderly suicide for an article on a murder-suicide in Gouldsboro that involved a 65-year-old and his 75-year-old wife who had suffered from painful and degenerative arthritis for several years. Kaye said he believes it's never OK to take someone's life, and adds he finds it difficult to hear that some older adults think suicide is an understandable path. "There's an acceptance in our society that there's little life ahead of them and little reason to continue living," he said. "That is wrong. The system failed. To say nothing could have been done to ease their suffering is incorrect."
Harvest for Hunger Donates 240,937 Pounds of Produce
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Maine Harvest for Hunger program had its most successful year in 2014, as more than 300 volunteers donated 240,937 pounds of fresh produce to 104 organizations from York County to Piscataquis County.
Since the program's inception in 1999, volunteers have provided more than 1.8 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to people, food pantries and soup kitchens statewide.
According to Feeding America, a national umbrella organization for food banks, 206,000 Maine citizens — 15.5 percent of the population — experienced food insecurity in 2012, a 50 percent increase since 2004. Also according to Feeding America, 36 percent of food insecure Mainers did not qualify for government food assistance programs. Food insecurity and obesity can co-exist for individuals and families, and a goal is to replace high-calorie, nutrient-poor food donated to food pantries with fresh fruits and vegetables.
For more information on Maine Harvest for Hunger and how to participate, visit extension.umaine.edu/harvest-for-hunger or contact Barbara Murphy, 207.743.6329, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Iberdrola Scholarship Program Accepting Applications to Study Energy, Environment
The Iberdrola USA Foundation, along with Fundación Iberdrola, is accepting scholarship applications for master's studies in energy and/or the environment at the University of Maine and University of Rochester for the 2015–2016 academic year, according to a press release.
The Iberdrola Scholarship Program is open to graduate students who plan to pursue studies in renewable energy, environmental protection, climate change or energy efficiency.
Global energy leader Iberdrola S.A. established the scholarship program in 2010. The grants cover tuition, health and accident insurance, and a $25,200 annual stipend for other expenses.
For more information or to apply, visit the Iberdrola Foundation scholarship website. Candidates should submit an application to one of the two universities before applying for the scholarship. The deadline to apply is 8 a.m. Feb. 13, 2015.
"Iberdrola and Iberdrola USA are very proud to support this next generation of renewable energy leaders," said Bob Kump, chief corporate officer for Iberdrola USA.
UVAC Members Win LifeFlight of Maine Human Patient Simulator Challenge
Three student members of the University Volunteer Ambulance Corps (UVAC) at the University of Maine recently won a competition that involved caring for a simulated pediatric patient at the annual Midcoast Atlantic Partners EMS Seminar in Rockport, Maine.
Melissa Dufault, Alana Silverman and Ryan Buckley competed against several medical response teams with years of service and experience, including seven EMS instructors and paramedics. Joseph Kellner, UVAC chief of service, served as paramedic backup for the team.
"We were up against some of the best providers in the state; all the way from EMT-basics to paramedics. Our team of two EMT-basics and myself, an unlicensed attendant, were the underdogs to say the least," said Buckley, a marine science major from Milton, Massachusetts, who has been with UVAC for about a year.
The LifeFlight of Maine Human Patient Simulator Challenge tasks teams with the same basic emergency scenario that differs slightly depending on the license levels of team members. This year's scenario was a pediatric male that had fallen from a skateboard and was unresponsive. The competition is designed to test skills and how well teams assess the patient by responding to the patient simulator as they would in a real emergency.
"We competed against close friends, admired mentors and current instructors," said Dufault, a nursing student at Eastern Maine Community College who has been with UVAC since spring 2012. "It was an immense honor to stand in front of all the competitors I had looked up to for a long time."
The contest was administered by LifeFlight of Maine and was held as a benefit fundraiser for the Maine EMS Memorial in Augusta. The team chose to donate its $200 cash prize to the memorial in the name of Matthew Jetton, a UVAC alumnus and flight paramedic who died when the helicopter he was riding in crashed while transporting a burn patient to a Portland hospital in 1993.
The team also won a response bag from Maine-ly Tactical & Uniforms and two days of free simulator training for UVAC provided by LifeFlight of Maine.
"The free simulator training is a chance to train and do patient assessments in a controlled environment where students can allow themselves to make mistakes with no risk of patient harm," says Dufault of Turner, Maine. "The simulators can blink, talk, breathe; they also have pulses just as a normal patient."
Dufault says the training will be especially helpful for new members who have no prior experience.
"As a person in the medical field, it is important to stay current. The knowledge of the medical profession is always expanding. This training gives our members an opportunity to train on certain scenarios that don't occur often so we are prepared when the real thing happens," says Silverman, a UMaine biology major with a pre-med concentration from Oakland, Maine, who has been working with UVAC for four years.
"I couldn't be more proud of these three," Kellner said. "It is a testament to the quality of care that UVAC providers bring to the University of Maine."

WABI Covers 'Historical Atlas of Maine' Launch
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the launch of the "Historical Atlas of Maine" at the University of Maine. The atlas is a new geographical and historical interpretation of the state, from the end of the last ice age to 2000, that culminates a 15-year scholarly project led by UMaine researchers. UMaine historian Richard Judd and UMaine geographer Stephen Hornsby edited the book that contains cartography by Michael Hermann. "I think it is a new portal into Maine history that we have not really had before in the sense that it combines graphics with text in a way that allows the reader to use their imagination," Judd said.

butterfly weed (seed pod harvest)?
How do you know when you can harvest the seeds from the seed pods on the butterfly weed? Do you have to wait till the seed pods are dry and cracking open like Milkweed does?
Also, are there male and female plants of Butterfly weed? I have 10 or 12 plants and so far only one of them has pods and it just happens that the one with the pods had very few flowers so it was quite a surprise. The plants with an abundance of flowers have no pods at all.
southern Ontario, CANADA zone 6a
Just what you stated,"wait till the seed pods are dry and cracking open" will do it.
Don't have a for sure answer for your other question, I don't think there are males and females. Maybe for some reason the insects preferred the one milkweed over the others, hence it was pollinated more thoroughly. Who knows?
If you love this Asclepias, you should check out some of the other species if you haven't all ready. I grow many different ones on my property and would NEVER do without. An absolute must for a butterfly garden. In my experience, not only do they attract Monarchs and other butterflies; they are also a magnet for many other pollinators as well. When they are in full flower, I have a regular bug soap opera out there!

Muskego — Police are seeking suspects who burglarized a Muskego home, possibly in connection with a drug deal, and who tried to kill the family dog.
The incident happened in the 17900 block of West Muskego Drive about 3:15 p.m. Jan. 24 when police received a report of gunfire.
According to police records:
A neighbor heard the shots and used his cellphone to take a video of the suspects' pickup truck and of the truck they stole from the home. Oddly enough, both were black Chevrolet Avalanches.
The shots the neighbor heard came from one of the burglars attempting to shoot the family's golden retriever. The dog was seen unhurt about 90 minutes later in the parking lot of Pick 'n Save, W17005 Janesville Road, by an employee who notified the owner. The store is roughly two miles from the dog's home.
A video game system valued at $200 was stolen along with the Avalanche.
Under police questioning, the 24-year-old son of the woman who owns the stolen Avalanche admitted to police that the burglars might have been drug dealers from whom he had purchased $400 worth of pills. They have have been out for revenge because he cheated them by paying with an envelope of paper strips rather than currency, he said.
The man had received a text message from one of the dealers saying they would involve his parents and that his dog was dead.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT SAFE DRINKING WATER From: Spotsylvania County Department of Utilities 600 Hudgins Road Fredericksburg, Virginia 22408-4147 Phone: (540) 898-2053 ext. 0 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com March 22, 2004 Dear Resident: With the rising media attention concerning lead levels in drinking water within Washington D.C. and Arlington County, we want to take this opportunity to assure you of the safety of Spotsylvania County's public drinking water. Federal law has required localities - including Spotsylvania County - to collect water samples for lead for many years. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires us to collect a series of thirty lead sam- ples every three years from customers' homes. If the results from more than ten percent of the samples exceed the EPA action limit of 15 parts per billion (ppb), then we would have to take additional steps to notify the public and find ways to reduce our consumer's exposure to lead in the water. Our most recent sampling occurred in July 2003 when, in accordance with EPA regulations, 30 homes served by the County's water system were tested. Of those 30 samples, 27 (90%) fell under the action limit for lead. The results of the tests we performed demonstrate that, according to the EPA regulations, our tap water is safe. In Washington D.C.'s water system, officials estimate that almost 23,000 of the water service lines to homes are actu- ally made of lead. Our system is new enough to be free of lead service lines. The water we deliver from our treat- ment plants and through our distribution system does not contain detectable levels of lead. But because some of the brass and bronze fittings in the connections in the water system and in the household plumbing may contain lead and because lead solder was still allowable for making pipe joints until 1986, lead can still be dissolved into tap water. If water sits in these brass and bronze fittings and joints for several hours, lead can leach into the water. Note that this can happen regardless of whether the water in question is coming from the public water system or from a pri- vate well for the potential sources of the lead are the plumbing, fixtures and solder within the pipe itself. In such cir- cumstances, the water first drawn from the fixture may contain a measurable amount of lead, but the lead amount will be reduced if you let your faucet run 60-90 seconds before use. Consuming lead can cause a range of adverse health effects. Pregnant women and infants are more likely to be impacted if lead levels are high in their drinking water. There are many ways you can minimize your exposure to lead that may leach into your water from your plumbing system. You will find some recommendations in the pages that follow, as well as answers to many other questions you may have. We care about the community's health and we desire to respond to any further questions or concerns our residents may have as they pertain to safe drinking water. Consequently, two educational workshops will be offered to any- one interested in attending. Meeting details are as follows: Location: Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors' Chambers Date: March 30, 2004 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors' Chambers Date: March 31, 2004 Time: 10:00 a.m. In the interim, should you have any questions regarding this information or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Utilities at (540) 898-2053, ext. 0. Sincerely, Thomas M. Slaydon, P.E. Director of Utilities How Does Lead Get into Drinking Water? Typically, the source of lead in your home's water is most likely pipe or solder in your home's own plumbing. Water treated at our treatment plants has no detectable lead. The most common cause is corrosion, a reaction between the water and lead solder, or lead-containing brass fittings. Dissolved oxygen, low pH (acidity) and low mineral content in water are common causes of corrosion. If you live in a home or work in a building that was constructed prior to 1986, which has copper water pipes with lead based solder joints, you should be aware that traces of lead might be present in your water. In 1986, installation of copper pipes with lead solder became illegal. You may notify the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Drinking Water, at (804) 864-7500 to obtain more information. What are the Health Effects of Lead in Drinking Water? Lead may cause a range of adverse health effects. Pregnant women and infants are more likely to be impacted if lead levels are high in their drinking water. For infants and children, exposure to high levels of lead can result in delays in physical or mental development. For adults, it can result in kidney problems or high blood pressure. Although the main sources of exposure to lead are ingesting paint chips and inhaling dust, EPA estimates that 10 to 20 percent of human exposure to lead may come from lead in drinking water. What Should You Do? Listed below are some measures you may wish to consider toward minimizing lead in your water. Cook only with cold water. Do not cook with or drink hot water from the tap. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises flushing the faucet(s) for 60-90 seconds if the water supply has been idle for 6 hours or more. If you are concerned about possible lead solder in your home's pipes, a plumber can determine for you whether your solder contains lead. Do not use cooking utensils/containers that contain lead (e.g., ceramic or pewter). Have a licensed electrician check your wiring to determine if grounding wires from the electrical system are attached to your water pipes. Grounding to metal pipes can cause corrosion. DO NOT attempt to change the wiring yourself unless you are qualified to do so. If you live in a newly constructed home or in a home where the plumbing has recently been replaced, remove loose lead solder and debris from plumbing. You can do so by removing the faucet strainers from all taps and then run the water for 3 to 5 minutes. Thereafter, periodically remove the strainers and flush out any debris that has accumulated over time. If your home is supplied by a well and you have concerns, consult a water well contractor. How Can I tell if My Water contains too Much Lead? If you are concerned about lead in your water, you should have your water tested by a certified laboratory. Since you cannot see, taste, or smell lead dissolved in water, testing is the only sure way to tell whether or not there are harm- ful quantities of lead in your drinking water. You should be particularly concerned if you see signs of corrosion (rust- colored water, stained dishes, green stains on water fixtures or laundry, etc.) and/or if your non-plastic plumbing is less than five years old. How Can I get My Water Tested? The County does not routinely test individual homes and cannot recommend specific laboratories to test your drink- ing water. However, a copy of the Commonwealth of Virginia's Certified Laboratories can be obtained through their website (http://www.vdh.state.va.us/dw/files/lablist.pdf), the County's website (http://www.spotsylvania.va.us/ departments/utilities) or by calling the Utilities Department directly. Depending on how many contaminants you test for, a water quality test can cost from $15 to hundreds of dollars. What if I Have Lead in My Water? If a water test indicates that the drinking water from your tap contains lead in excess of 15 ppb after flushing, then you may wish to consider the following: Purchasing or leasing a home water treatment device. If you choose to use a filter, follow these three rules: 1) choose one designed for the specific treatment desired (e.g., chlorine, lead or cryptosporidium), 2) make sure the filter is approved by the National Sanitation Foundation, and 3) maintain the filter as directed. Purchasing bottled water for drinking and cooking. Have Questions or Concerns? If you have specific concerns or need additional information after reading this material, you may contact or refer to the following: The County's Utilities Department at (540) 898-2053, ext. 0 or email@example.com, for informa- tion about your water system or to obtain a list of local laboratories certified by the Virginia Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services. Rappahannock Area Health District at (540) 899-4797 for information on health effects of lead. Your personal or family physician.

The inauguration of the president of the United States is a ceremonial event marking the commencement of a new four-year term of a president of the United States. The day a presidential inauguration occurs is known as "Inauguration Day" and occurs on January 20 (or 21st if the 20th is a Sunday). (Prior to the Twentieth Amendment, the date was March 4, the day of the year on which the Constitution of the United States first took effect in 1789; the last inauguration to take place on the older date was Franklin D. Roosevelt's first one on March 4, 1933.) The most recent public presidential inauguration ceremony, the swearing in of President Barack Obama to begin his second four-year term in office, took place on Monday, January 21, 2013.
The only inauguration element mandated by the United States Constitution is that the president make an oath or affirmation before that person can "enter on the Execution" of the office of the presidency. However, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking ceremony to a day-long event, including parades, speeches, and balls.

Missing Yosemite hiker's body found
Rangers found the body of a hiker from Minnesota who went missing at Yosemite National Park during the weekend, authorities reported this afternoon.
According to the National Park Service, rangers recovered the body of Kenneth Stensby near the base of Vernal Fall on Tuesday after searchers spotted it Monday evening. He apparently fell from a cliff near the waterfall.
Stensby, 73, had been in the park for several days, staying at the Ahwahnee Hotel. Each day, as he set out on a hike, he would leave a note with staff outlining his plan.
On Sunday, the park service said in a news release, Stensby planned to hike to the top of Vernal Fall via the Mist Trail and return to the hotel around noon. At 5 p.m., staff tried to contact Stensby and then notified rangers when they could not reach him.
Rangers discovered Stensby's backpack near the guardrail at the top of Vernal Fall later that evening, and put out an appeal for anyone who might have seen him or taken photographs with Stensby in them. On Monday, the park conducted a full-scale search-and-rescue operation, including several ground teams, a dog team and a California Highway Patrol helicopter. Intermittent rain made the search difficult, but searchers in the CHP helicopter spotted Stensby's body around 6 p.m. The Mist Trail, closed during the search operation, has been reopened.
The three-mile round-trip hike to Vernal Fall is among the park's most popular. Although this was a drier winter than usual, the falls are running strong this week, Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said.
The waterfall was the site of tragedy in July 2011, when three hikers from the Central Valley lost their lives. Ramina Badal, 21, of Manteca, Ninos Yacoub, 27, of Turlock and Hormiz "Nenos" David, 22, of Modesto were visiting the park on a day trip when they fell into the Merced River above Vernal Fall. All three went over the 317-foot waterfall.
