text: The Out of the Dark wiki last edited by pikahyper on 02/25/15 09:26AM View full history Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Highfather, and the Forever People battle the dark enemy!With Fyre gloating over the capture of Mister Miracle and over half the members of the Forever People, Highfather comes to his senses and sets out to confront her with Barda in tow. Inside, Fyre begins torturing Highfather, an act which serves to remind Scott of the beatings that he sustained under the tutelage of Granny Goodness. Scott breaks free and releases his fellow hostages. With their combined might, Fyre and her minions are quickly dispatched. The minion of The Dark retreats and Highfather removes her underlings from the local plane. Barda interrupts a moment too late and reminds everyone that Beautiful Dreamer is in labor at that very moment. Dreamer gives birth to a surprisingly verbose boy, Highfather and Scott come to some semblance of peace, and the Forever People depart with their new member. Barda and her husband are able to take only a single breath of relief before realizing that Oberon is missing.Note: Later authors have retroactively removed Dreamer's child from continuity, as well as her relationship with Bear.

Kyle Fokken
Kyle Fokken was born in 1966 in the small farming town of Clara City, Minnesota- a town with little to do but entertain yourself with your imagination.
After graduation, Kyle went on to become the first person in his family to go to college. He graduated with honors in 1991 with a BFA in Ceramics from Minnesota State University at St. Cloud State, St. Cloud, Minnesota. Kyle was also the Fine Arts Chair and board member of the University Program Board, where he recruited and managed a team of student volunteers to curate and maintain the student union gallery and display cases. His team was crucial in bringing in nationally respected visual and literary artists. His leadership led to the university purchasing multiple works of art and at least two artists being hired as full-time professors.
After graduation, he worked as a potter's apprentice to learn the craft and how to run a business. He then interned with the Minnesota Museum of Art and a board position with the Minnesota Crafts Council. Both of these positions afforded him the tools he would need working in a corporate environment and arts administration.
He worked as assistant manager with ArtsMarketing Services in Toronto, Canada, a company that aids the arts and non-profits by selling memberships and concert seats in the U.S. and Canada. After moving back to Minneapolis, Kyle had a career in the mortgage industry and has worked with many nationally known arts groups like North East Minneapolis Arts Association and the Soap Factory. After many years of processing and selling mortgages, he took the leap to become a full-time artist and full-time dad. Kyle and his wife Heather recently celebrated their 10th Anniversary and have two great kids. Since then he has shown in multiple museums and art centers throughout the United States. He's shown during The Bridge show as part of ART MIAMI in Miami Beach, and shown in galleries in New York City, Boston, Chicago, and Denver. Kyle has won multiple "First Place" and "Best in Show" awards for his indoor and outdoor sculptures throughout the Midwest, and has recently received a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant to study new materials for use in outdoor sculpture.

Council on Aging(Appt. By Selectmen, ART 13 17 ATM 1970)
2013 Annual Report
"The Hingham Department of Elder Services is the town focal point for the delivery of services to Hingham's population 60 and older. Its mission is to support the independence of Hingham's senior citizens, advocate for their needs and enhance the quality of their lives. In an atmosphere of respect for the older adult, the Department of Elder Services coordinates programs and services to encourage self-reliance, good health and community involvement."
The Needs Assessment of Hingham residents 45 and older that Elder Services commissioned through the Gerontology Institute of the McCormack Graduate School at UMASS Boston was completed. Aging in Hingham: A Community Affair was released in March and the information contained in the report provided not only Elder Services but the town as a whole with valuable data and information about the needs, interests and opinions of the older adult population living in Hingham. As a result of this Needs Assessment we learned that 49% of Hingham's population is 45 and older compared to a statewide average of 42%. Hingham's 60 and older population increased by 55% between 2000 and 2010. The corresponding growth level for Massachusetts was 16%. Other results suggested that most Boomer and Senior residents have lived in Hingham for many years and are highly committed to remaining in Hingham as they grow older. Driving and transportation concerns are key issues and about 25% of non-drivers have used transportation services provided by Elder Services. Looking ahead to the future, the report showed that respondents voiced a number of concerns as they age in place. Such concerns included the high cost of living in Hingham; the concern that transportation options will be unavailable or inadequate if one is unable to drive in the future; a strong desire to remain independent, active and engaged. Following a comprehensive review of the findings, Elder Services began revision of its Long Range/Strategic Plan. The information contained in the report will greatly assist in this revision and it is expected these revisions will be completed in mid-2014. For more information or to read the full report Aging in Hingham: A Community Affair go to www.hingham-ma.gov/elder/index.html and click on the link to the report.
In April, an on-site visit of the Senior Center was conducted by the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) as the final step in the review process towards the award/retention of National Senior Center Accreditation. The Department of Elder Services is proud to again have received this award and is one of seven in Massachusetts and 120 nationwide who currently have attained National Senior Center Accreditation.
The Outreach Program remains a vital link for older adults and family members who need assistance sorting through the myriad of programs and services and in accessing the most appropriate services to enable an older adult to continue to live at home. The Outreach Coordinator also works very closely with the Police, Fire and Health Departments on cases of mutual concern, and oftentimes remains as the link for these cases. The Outreach Program also continues to assist individuals with minor home repairs; the completion of benefit application forms, including the applications for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program for all Hingham residents regardless of age; and understanding the wide range of options available for the Medicare D program.
Discovery, the lifelong learning program, continued to grow and provide many different programs of interest to older adults. The work of these dedicated volunteers has now enabled Elder Services to offer a Spring and Fall semester. Matter of Balance, an evidence-based program that provides education and practical tips to help prevent falls, continues to be offered on a twice a year basis. Again, through another group of dedicated volunteers, the Job Search Skills Training Program assists older adults and others in preparing for the job search in today's employment market.
The Department of Elder Services would not be able to function without the many volunteers who provide a wide range of services and programs to the Senior Center. During 2013, these volunteers numbered 153 and worked 9,628 hours. We would also like to thank all the organizations who provided programs at the Senior Center, and all the other Town Departments who work with us to ensure that seniors are safe and comfortable in their own homes.
At this time we would like to introduce and welcome Nicole Reilly, Program Coordinator, who joined the staff of Elder Services in February. Ms. Reilly has been a great addition to our team and is responsible for overseeing our volunteer and technology programs as well as organizing trips and other miscellaneous programs that take place at the Senior Center. Finally, we would like to thank retiring Council on Aging members Leah Godfrey and Arthur Lemay. Both of these individuals worked hard on behalf of Hingham's older adults.

Ann Wilson puts Heart in her music
Sisters Ann & Nancy Wilson's band, recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, helped pave the way for today's female rockers
The Wilson sisters have been musical partners for nearly their entire lives, a fact that enables them to communicate almost telepathically, on stage and off.
Is it possible, after all these years, for the two to surprise each other when Heart is performing?
"Yeah, we do," Ann Wilson replied with a hearty laugh.
"I mean, Nancy is a beautiful woman and really talented. But what people don't know about her is that she's a total comedian and has this really sharp sense of humor. And, sometimes, she'll pull something on stage that will just crack me up and throw me completely off. And I love that, because it's good to be thrown off and have somebody wake you up (on stage), especially because we have a sense of humor that goes back to our childhood that nobody would understand.
"If they heard us, they'd think we were speaking a foreign language!"

Originally known as the S-37, Sukhoi redesignated its advanced test aircraft as the Su-47 in 2002 reflecting the decision to market the design as a production fighter rather than as an experimental prototype. Also commonly referred to as the Berkut (Golden Eagle), the Su-47 was originally built as Russia's principle testbed for composite materials andsophisticated fly-by-wire control systems.
The aircraft makes use of forward-swept wings allowing superb maneuverability and operation at angles of attack up to 45° or more. The advantages of forward sweep have long been known as such wings offer lower wave drag, reduced bending moments, and delayed stall when compared to more traditional wing shapes.Unfortunately, forward sweep also induces significant wing twist that would shear most wings off the aircraft. To solve this problem, the Su-47 makes use of composite materials carefully tailored to resist twisting while still allowing the wing to bend for improved aerodynamic behavior. To reduce development costs, the S-37 borrowed the forward fuselage, vertical tails, and landing gear of the Su-27 family. Nonetheless, the aircraft includes reduced radar signature features (including radar absorbent materials), an internal weapons bay, and space set aside for an advanced radar.
Though similar in overall concept to the American X-29 research aircraft of the 1980s, the Su-47 is about twice the size and far closer to an actual combat aircraft than the US design.Su-47 has shown far superior manuvering in the air to any aircraft known to this date.Like the X-29 though, the Su-47 was primarily a technology demonstrator, one intended to lay the foundation for the next Russian fighter. Such a fighter must not only be as advanced as the US F-22 and Eurofighter Typhoon, but must also compete for funding with the more conventional MiGs. However, Sukhoi is now attempting to market the Su-47 to the Russian military and foreign customers as a production fighter in its own right. Initial reaction was not good, but the aircraft's performance has been so impressive that the Russian government has made funds available for further testing of the design. Still, the low budgets of the Russian military and the aircraft's high price tag make it unlikely that the Su-47 will be purchased any time in the near future.
