An extraordinary experience in my youth which just had to be penned to paper -- an ageless story for all ages with no geographical or cultural boundaries.
Is there and experience as profound, as indefinable, as cherished, as savored as fresh love, that sweet love in youth? As if on cue, we are wrenched away from the frivolities of childhood and launched into a new awakening of soul and self. The mere touch of a gentle hand, the soft gaze of dewy bright eyes, the gait, the strength of voice, the flick of a lock of hair stirs within us urgent passions and yearnings that Nature had set aside for us, latent and dormant. But what recollection of youth can be held more dear than that first kiss of a first love? This is a story for all those who have known love, real love! This is also a story of "memories," safeguarded and cherished. But then, there is much more ... Warren W. Evans

Corky, Peggy And The Goldfinch by Warren W. Evans
Reviewed by Susan M. Omilian
Although more than 60 years have passed since World War II began with Germany�s unprovoked attack on Poland in 1939, stories about the war and its enormous impact on the people who lived through it are still being told today with vivid detail and unbridled courage. So much was lost, so much will never be retrieved, but the stories live on. �Corky, Peggy And The Goldfinch,� by Warren W. Evans of Toronto, Canada, is one such story. It is written in the clear, authentic voice of Corky, a 12-year-old boy on the brink of adolescence, who moves with his family in 1946, a year after the war ended, from Toronto to Geco (pronounced Gee-ko). �A scary sounding place,� he admits in the novel�s opening chapters, with a strange name somewhere out in the �middle of nowhere.�
This well-spun tale of coming of age and first love set in post-war Canada is rich in detail, full of energy and thoroughly entertaining. Based on a true story and actual events and people, author Warren Evans� uncanny ability to remember the sights, sounds and emotions that sway a young boy at such a critical juncture in his life provide remarkable insight into the drama and traumas of adolescence. Growing up is hard enough for Corky but doing so in the lingering shadow of a world war that has ended but has hardly been forgotten only adds color, life and great human interest to the story.
Even Geco, the place where Corky comes to live, has risen from the ashes of a World War II munitions plant. A vast complex of 177 buildings, the plant was constructed in a remarkably short period of time in 1940 on 357 acres of farmland near rural Scarborough, Ontario, by the American-owned General Engineering Company (hence, the name �Geco�). With 6,000 employees at its peak, the plant�s major contribution to Canada�s war effort, between July 1941 and 1945, was assembling over 256 million fuses and igniting devices and filling large shells with gun powder. Without this work, the guns and cannons of the Allied military forces overseas would not have fired and their anti-tank mines would not have exploded. After the war, the munitions plant was hastily reconstructed as a post-war emergency housing complex. �It was for the floundering,� as Corky refers to the people who came to populate Geco. But its citizens quickly and efficiently changed it into a busy, thriving and autonomous community within two years after the war
Although apprehensive at first about living in such an isolated place, Corky, a whimsical boy, quickly makes the best of it and soon finds living in Geco more of an adventure than he thought. On his first day there, Corky meets Peggy Wilkins, a pretty girl with long pigtails, big brown eyes, a little taller and a year old than he, who offers to show him around. As she leads him through the maze of old munitions plant buildings that have been converted into apartment units, a makeshift schoolhouse and a vast recreational hall, she asks him if he�d like to take her hand. He recoils at the suggestion since it is clear in his mind that he doesn�t like girls yet, except maybe tomboys, but Peggy doesn�t take �no� for an answer. To get him interested in her, she dangles the possibility of telling him how to get into the secret passageway that leads to �miles and miles of tunnels� built under the complex while it was still a munitions plant.
The idea of exploring these tunnels fuels Corky�s boyish curiosity and vivid imagination while his relationship with Peggy grows. She is a precocious, single-minded girl, who at thirteen-and-a-half, plants a kiss full on Corky�s lips within days of their meeting. When she tells him that she�s very interested in him, he can only say that he likes her �pigtails a lot!� Undaunted, Peggy becomes Corky�s self-appointed guide into the complicated adult world of sex, romance and lasting relationships.
But Corky also has a thing or two to teach Peggy. When she asks him why the Goldfinches flying over Geco (which she argues at first are wild canaries) are his favorite birds, he says, �because they are happy � the happiest bird of them all!� �And if people were as happy as the Goldfinches,� he adds, �there�d never be any more wars, ever again!�
And it is war that confounds Corky the most. After reading the poignant but disturbing letters that Peggy�s family received posthumously from her Uncle Jack, who was killed while serving as an army chaplain in the Canadian forces stationed in Cassino, Italy, Corky finds the idea of war a confusing thing. While Uncle Jack writes of the suffering caused by the persistent shelling of the Allied troops by the Germans, he also tells of kneeling, rosary in hand, beside a dying German soldier who laments that he�ll never see his wife and children again. When Uncle Jack�s letters open up �touchy� questions about God, war, conflict and death, Corky finds he would rather discuss them with someone other than a family member. So he turns to Miss Birk, an affable woman whom he and Peggy met at the dog race track north of the community. And his questions to her are relentless. Was Germany really a country of monstrous, murderous, �rotten� people as portrayed in the newsreels he had seen at the cinema every Saturday afternoon? And if Canada�s young men were fighting to keep their country free and strong, were the Germans fighting for something different?
Corky reasons that we all strive for nothing short of happiness, happy just like his beloved Goldfinches in the skies above Geco. Yet, he wonders, was the average German citizen thinking on a far different plane than the rest of the world? And if what he had learned earlier at church was true that God created man in His image, did another god create the Germans? But kind and wise Miss Birk assures Corky, even after her own husband was killed in action during the war and her young son died soon thereafter from polio, that not all Germans are �rotten� people. �Never judge the behavior of a group by the acts of only a few,� she insists. The Germans were fighting for an ideal too, a belief in a far better world, a happier world, she further explains, and one which Hitler had convinced them was possible to get, and worth going to war over. Hitler was just a �rotten leader,� she bemoans.
By the end of the story, which spans three years of Corky�s life, the boy is most consumed with his deepening relationship with Peggy. He calls her �Peg O� My Heart� and sees her as a shining star in the constellation of his future life.
But just as he and Peggy grow closer, Corky learns the hardest lesson of all. This one is about memories and how to safeguard the good ones while learning from the others. Corky finds that his best memories, like his first kiss and the big adventure he has in the underground tunnels of Geco with Peggy are his happiest. And as he looks back, he learns how to honor and cherish these memories with the eternally happy Goldfinch as his symbolic torch for life.
And in telling Corky�s story with love and great passion, author Warren Evans creates in �Corky, Peggy And The Goldfinch� a book to read, remember and cherish as well.

Corky, Peggy and the Goldfinch
This book is a romping, highly-entertaining adventure story set in the immediate post WWII era 1946-49. In the summer of 1946, a rather intense and curious twelve-year-old boy named �Corky� reluctantly moves with his family and five siblings to an emergency housing complex � a converted wartime sprawling munitions plant in the boondocks of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, on the eastern fringes of Toronto.
The two main protagonists are the narrator � Corky � and his first true-love �Peggy.� Girl-shy Corky is caught off guard on his first day in the community when precocious and bold Peggy tries to take his hand while giving him a guided tour of the buildings. With her hair braided in pigtails, and flashing big brown eyes, she is very pretty, and a full year older than Corky.
They soon bond a friendship with three others: Corky�s tomboy sister �Neeney� (younger by two years); rather squeamish, prim and proper �Marlene,� and tough-as-nails �Wilf� who would cement a lifelong friendship with Corky in a gory blood brother ritual. Collectively, they come to be known as the �group of five.�
Their personalities are quite disparate and each has his/her own way of dealing with the day-to-day problems of adolescence, as they may arise.
This is manifest when the intrepid group clandestinely sets out on a dangerous and hair-raising adventure to explore the subterranean labyrinth of the forbidden and mysterious Geco tunnels. To be sure, many of us during our teen years were involved in similar pranks and escapades with varying degrees of danger. We were often bold experimenters. But the Geco tunnels are inherently lethal.
My character of choice is Corky because he narrates the story and sounds just as I or any other reader of similar age might. I have several favourite parts, but for me the highlight is in Chapter 24 when Corky shows such intense tenderness and understanding toward Peggy as she unabashedly weeps while sharing with him a very sad and personal family matter. They hold hands, hug and long to be as happy as the flocks of Goldfinches, twittering and flitting overhead and across the community of Geco. [Hence the title.]
Aside from the sweet pathos in the book, there is an immense amount of humour, and of the sort which causes one to erupt into spontaneous, explosive belly laughs. This humour emanates from young and deep-thinking Corky as he often tries to strike a balance between mundane day-to-day issues and his perceived relationship to the Cosmos as a whole.
I love the story. The prose is topnotch, vocabulary excellent, and the nudge for us to magically re-live our childhood is palpable throughout. The author, Warren W. Evans, has written this book in a wholly uninhibited and delightful manner.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I put this book off the scale with a 10+!
Janet McDonough, Scarborough, Ont. Canada

Single, never married, minimal baggage, good references.
My friends and family describe me as a "catch." I think they are generous. I have never been married, but close a few times. Career and bad timing have always seemed to be the deal breaker. My family duties require me to be an uncle to the greatest nephews anyone could ask for. I understand how important these kids are to all of our lives, and I believe that kids are sacred. After a long hiatus, I recently started dating and soon found out that nothing has really changed; the dating business is a tough business: however, I know in my heart it is the right time for me to pursue a new friendship or a relationship (I'm flexible) with that special person. I love being around things that move such as cars, boats (I have one that lives at the river) and airplanes. I exercize almost daily. I swing a sick 8 iron. I love Russian Vodka, and red wine. I have other talents, but I don't want to "show case" them all here. It would be awesome to meet somone who is able to survive Havasu at 115 degrees or maybe just a day in Laguna.

New program drawing recyclers
March 18, 2011 at 10:15 am | Mobile Reader | Print
The parish has seen great participation in the recycling bin program that began March 1. Currently, parish officials are looking into solutions for managing the higher-usage bins, especially at Lakewood Elementary in Luling and Ormond Fire Station in Destrehan.
Please help us keep the bins safe and usable for all residents by adhering to these rules:
Before recycling, make sure to remove all food and liquid from bottles or cans. Rinse them and remove caps. Items do not need to be sorted but should be placed together in a bag or box.
Materials accepted include plastic containers (numbers 1-3 and clear drink bottles), white or colored paper, cardboard (without food residue), paperboard (including cereal boxes), newspapers with inserts, magazines, phone books, junk mail and steel, tin and aluminum cans.
Materials not accepted include glass, plastic shopping bags (these may be recycled at local stores), aerosol cans, pots and pans, furniture, toys, Styrofoam, pizza boxes, hardback books and paper napkins, cups or plates. Please do not dump garbage in the bins.
Residents interested in getting information from the parish about recycling and other topics are invited to sign up for e-mail alerts by logging on to stcharlesparish-la.gov and clicking 'E-Newsletters' at the top of the page. A recycling locations flyer is available at that web address for download.
The parish continues to seek feedback on the location of the bins and suggestions on possible additional locations. Residents may call (985) 783-5182 or e-mail email@example.com.
Severe weather outlook
Severe spring weather made its debut with a vengeance last week, with two tornado warnings and about three inches of rain within 45 minutes in some parts of St. Charles Parish.
The St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center uses the parish's outdoor warning sirens to alert residents to tornado warnings as instated by the National Weather Service. Because tornadoes present an immediate threat to life and property, emergency personnel use all tools available to them to make people aware of the situation and inform residents of any protective actions recommended.
Sirens mean serious business. Residents should tune in to local media or Government Access Channel Cox 6 for further instructions. But please be aware that in severe weather situations, the best meteorological information will be found on network or radio news.

Flexa: Let's Colour
After Hawai, San Fransisco, Berlin and more, the popular Color Run was also held in Amsterdam this year. During this 5K race, runners start out dressed in white and end up covered in colourful powder. Flexa, the leading paint brand in Holland, wanted to stand out during this fun run, to spread their message: 'Let's Colour'. They did this using a specially fabricated Flexa T-Shirt. How it worked? The more colour, the more the Flexa logo and payoffshowed up.

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system polymorphisms: a role or a hole in occurrence and long-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction at young age
1 Department of Internal Medicine, Cardiology Division, San Giovanni Battista Hospital, University of Turin, Italy
2 Department of Genetics, Biology and Biochemistry, University of Turin, Italy
BMC Medical Genetics 2007, 8:27 doi:10.1186/1471-2350-8-27Published: 22 May 2007
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is involved in the cardiovascular homeostasis as shown by previous studies reporting a positive association between specific RAAS genotypes and an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Anyhow the prognostic role in a long-term follow-up has not been yet investigated.
Aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the most studied RAAS genetic Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) on the occurrence and the long-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at young age in an Italian population.
The study population consisted of 201 patients and 201 controls, matched for age and sex (mean age 40 ± 4 years; 90.5% males). The most frequent conventional risk factors were smoke (p < 0.001), family history for coronary artery diseases (p < 0.001), hypercholesterolemia (p = 0.001) and hypertension (p = 0.002). The tested genetic polymorphisms were angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) A1166C and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) C-344T. Considering a long-term follow-up (9 ± 4 years) we compared genetic polymorphisms of patients with and without events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, revascularization procedures).
We found a borderline significant association of occurrence of AMI with the ACE D/I polymorphism (DD genotype, 42% in cases vs 31% in controls; p = 0.056). DD genotype remained statistically involved in the incidence of AMI also after adjustment for clinical confounders.
On the other hand, during the 9-year follow-up (65 events, including 13 deaths) we found a role concerning the AGTR1: the AC heterozygous resulted more represented in the event group (p = 0.016) even if not independent from clinical confounders. Anyhow the Kaplan-Meier event free curves seem to confirm the unfavourable role of this polymorphism.
Polymorphisms in RAAS genes can be important in the onset of a first AMI in young patients (ACE, CYP11B2 polymorphisms), but not in the disease progression after a long follow-up period. Larger collaborative studies are needed to confirm these results.

Saudi Arabia plans to build 16 nuclear power reactors by 2030 which could costs more than $100 billion, a Saudi-based newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing a top official.
June 1, 2011 1:58 by p.deleon
The world's top crude exporter, Saudi is struggling to keep up with rapidly rising power demand. It has considered boosting its domestic energy capacity using nuclear reactors.
"After 10 years we will have the first two reactors," Abdul Ghani bin Melaibari, coordinator of scientific collaboration at King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, told Arab News.
Many have backed away from atomic plans after the accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant but oil-rich Gulf states are among the few countries looking to make major investments in nuclear power plants.
"After that, every year we will establish two, until we have 16 of them by 2030," he said.
He estimated the cost of each reactor to be around $7 billion, adding that the Kingdom is in the process of planning for the nuclear project and coordination with specialized companies.
The kingdom plans to cover 20 percent of its electricity needs using nuclear energy, said Melaibari.
Power demand in the top oil exporter is estimated to grow 7-8 percent during the next 10 years.
Neighbouring United Arab Emirates in December 2009 awarded a South Korean consortium the contract to build four nuclear power plants worth $20.4 billion.
