Members of the National Alliance on Mental Illness group in Castle Country took part in a NAMIWalk on Saturday Sept. 18 to help raise money and awareness about mental health issues.
The sixth annual NAMIWalk took place in Salt Lake City where people gathered at Sprint Mobile Ballpark at 10 a.m. and then did a 5K walk around the surrounding area.
This year there were 1,700 walkers total and so far the walk has raised over $85,000, but that number is expected to rise once all of the funds are tallied, said Sherri Wittwer, executive director with NAMI Utah. The fund-raising goal for the 2010 walk was $75,000. To compare, in 2009 the NAMIWalk brought out 1,023 people and raised over $63,000, according to the NAMI Utah Website.
"It was our best walk ever with the most participation we've ever had," Wittwer said, noting that the yearly walk is considered to be the biggest fundraiser of the year for NAMI Utah. "The goal of the walk is to raise awareness of mental illness and we feel it's very important to inform the public about this."
There were 91 teams total that participated in the walk which included people from the state hospital, sports teams, suicide survivors, families and people who care deeply about mental illness and more.
The NAMI Castle Country group brought three people up to the walk and helped raise over $370 for NAMI Utah, according to Gary Anderson, president of NAMI Castle Country.
This was the first NAMIWalk for Anderson who said it was an eye-opening to take part in the event.
"It was a good learning experience for me," Anderson said. "My eyes were opened up that mental illness doesn't just affect one group of people. It can affect people of all different races. It's also good to see people come together who didn't know each other very well that were working together for a common goal."
The money raised from the walk will be distributed to NAMI groups around the state, which will help implement more programs and continue to help raise awareness of mental illness in communities.
"With the fund-raising money we can continue to help break down the walls and better educate the community to know that people who suffer from mental illness are common folk," Anderson said.
Raising money for a good cause and being able to hear different ideas from new sources from around the state was very helpful, said Sheri Davies, vice-president with NAMI Castle Country.
"I'm excited to be able to put money to good use for NAMI in our community," Davies said.
A NAMI Castle Country support group, Connection, meets every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Sun Advocate office. The group is also offering classes at Castleview Hospital, including BRIDGES and Family to Family, which helps raise awareness of what people go through with mental illness. The classes are currently ongoing but will be offered again in the Spring.
The overall experience of meeting and talking with others from around the state who deal with mental illness or have a family member or friend living with a mental illness was something the NAMI Castle Country group can use going forward to help the area better understand mental illness, Anderson said.
"We can use the experience from the NAMIWalk to help break down the stigma of mental illness and the barriers that people seem to have when discussing mental illness," Anderson said. "Mental illnesses are a real medical problem and there are people out there who need help."
"We're all just human," Davies said. "Just because a person is dealing with mental health issues doesn't mean that they are any different than anyone else."

LINCOLN — A 91-year-old Lincoln woman died in her bed in a smokey house fire early Tuesday morning despite the reported attempts of her 90-year-old husband to alert her.
Fire officials identified the victim as Jeannette Barry. Her husband, Henry Barry, made it out of the house safely and is believed to be staying with the couple's son.
According to Fire Chief Timothy Griffin of the Lonsdale Fire District, firefighters were called to the scene at around 6:30 a.m. They found the basement of the single-family, woodframe dwelling at 107 Boulevard Avenue fully engulfed in flames, and Henry Barry standing outside.
Griffin said the fast-moving fire had compromised the safety of the floors, so firefighters had to gain entry to the house by climbing through a side window on the first floor. Jeannette Barry, who was in a first-floor bedroom, was dead when they reached her. It is believed that she perished due to smoke inhalation, he said.
Griffin said the fire started in the basement of the tidy Cape, but the cause is still under investigation. The State Fire Marshal and state Medical Examiner's Office had been called to the scene, but the fire was not considered to be suspicious, he added.
Fire crews from Lincoln and Cumberland battled the blaze, which took about three hours to fully extinguish. Griffin said this was mostly due to the floors being so badly burned that they were structurally unsafe, making it difficult for firefighters to get in and attack the flames from the inside.
According to other news sources and video reports, Henry Barry said he had gone to the basement to use his computer and smelled smoke. He said he got upstairs to the kitchen door and opened it to let some smoke out but then couldn't reach the bedroom where his wife was sleeping because of the density of the smoke. He said he then used his cell phone to call 911.
Barry told reporters that he and Jeannette met at 18 and married in 1945. The couple has three grown children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He said he had built the house on Boulevard Avenue himself, with the help of a relative, in 1948.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Last week Facebook notified users that it was making changes to their "data use policy." They asked for feedback from users about the new changes, and out of that, a new fake status started floating around.
If you've been on Facebook sometime in the last 48 hours then there is a good chance you've seen someone post a status update that reads:
"In response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention). For commercial use of the above, my written consent is needed at all times!"
It goes on to say a lot more and encourages others to copy and paste this as their status.
The absolute first thing to highlight here is that posting a status like this does not do anything to protect you legally. Also, there is no Berner Convention -- there is a Berne convention, and it is about copyright protection, but citing it in a status message does not protect you.
When you agree to use Facebook, you agree to use it under their terms of use. That long complicated legal document that you have to agree to when you sign up. Posting a status update, does not change their terms of use for you --- or for them.
Facebook has posted this response:
"There is a rumor circulating that Facebook is making a change related to ownership of users' information or the content they post to the site. This is false. Anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in our terms. They control how that content and information is shared. That is our policy, and it always has been." -Facebook
In other words, you own your content.
The confusion grew out of a notice Facebook sent out last week. They are proposing changes to their "Data Use Policy" and their "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities." Which sound pretty complicated.
Broken down:
-The big thing Facebook is changing is the right to vote on potential changes. Instead they are asking for comments and feedback on any proposed changes. They cited that voting can sometimes be skewed.
-Along with that they're trying to do more to inform users of changes, and allow for more chances to have your voice heard.
-They're also going to start giving users new tools for managing your Facebook Messages -- this includes filters for messaging
-They're also trying to again make it clearer as to what is public and what is private. What on your timeline can be seen and what can be hidden. They are proposing better tools to manage your own activity -- including when someone else tags you in a post.
-Under the data use section, the major thing is data Facebook will now get about you from" their advertising partners." This is information that you are already providing another company. If they are a partner with Facebook, they can now have access to that. This is based on the site you've used elsewhere. This basically means more detailed adds based on your interests.
My advice, take the time and read the fine print. It's not fun, none of us love to read deep into these legal documents, but to it's best to better protect yourself with a service like Facebook.
We've provided links to where all the better worded details are.
Over all changes:

Submission Self-destructing syringe is made to save lives->
cylonlover writes: In these days of reducing, reusing and recycling, it may seem strange that anyone would be going out of their way to make a potentially reusable product disposable. It all makes sense, however, when that product is a syringe. According to the World Health Organization, every year approximately 1.3 million people die worldwide, due to diseases contracted through the reuse of syringes. Part of this can be chalked up to needle-sharing by users of illicit intravenous drugs, but much of it is due to health care workers (particularly those with little training or in impoverished conditions) using the same syringe to inoculate multiple patients. If a syringe simply ceases to function after one use, however, reusing it is impossible. That's the idea behind Star Syringes' K1 Auto Disposable syringe.

Garlic Roasted Potato Skins
- 3 lb russet (baking) potatoes (6 to 8 medium; preferably organic)
- 1 small head garlic (2 inches in diameter)
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Accompaniment: onion and spinach dip
Preheat oven to 350�F.
Prick each potato once or twice with a fork. Cut off and discard top fourth of garlic head, then wrap garlic tightly in foil. Bake garlic and potatoes on same rack in lower third of oven until potatoes are tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove potatoes from oven and cool on a metal rack 15 minutes. Continue to bake garlic until tender, about 15 minutes more, then cool in foil on rack.
While garlic cools, halve potatoes lengthwise, then quarter each half (to form short wedges). Scoop out potato flesh (reserving it for another use), leaving 1/4-inch-thick potato skins.
Increase oven temperature to 425�F.
Squeeze garlic into a small bowl, discarding garlic skins, and mash to a paste with butter, salt, and pepper using a fork.
Divide garlic paste among potato skins (about 1/2 teaspoon each), spreading evenly, then roast skins in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) until golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cooks' note: Potato skins can be scooped out and spread with garlic paste (but not baked) 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered with foil. Bring to room temperature before baking.

Creighton Announces Conference Change, Jays to Join Big East
"This rare opportunity caused us to examine closely Creighton's future and the future of other Division I conferences," Fr. Lannon said. "We have enjoyed our affiliation with the Missouri Valley Conference over the years, but when an exceptional opportunity presented itself, we paused and carefully considered our options. We see this new partnership enhancing the visibility of the University through increased national media exposure. This will positively impact our athletic programs, recruitment of students and faculty, and cultivation of additional philanthropic opportunities."
The Big East Conference division schools - Georgetown University, St. John's University, Villanova University, Providence College, Seton Hall University, Marquette University and DePaul University - made a bold step by returning the Big East to its roots as a basketball centric conference..
"I must say this whole process has been a very collegial and healthy process," Rasmussen said. "With the many great accomplishments that Creighton Athletics has achieved over a very long period of time and our current sustained success, I am confident this opportunity will result in Creighton becoming even more relevant in Division I athletics."
Additionally, the Big East invited Xavier University in Cincinnati and Butler University in Indianapolis to join the conference. The new athletic conference has announced that it will retain the Big East Conference name and hold the conference tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Hello everyone, I am joining this forum because my daughter has decided to enlist in the guard. I think it is only normal for me to be concerned, therefore i would love to get some feedback about your experience with the guard. She plans on becoming a game warden after college and will be doing something police orientated in the guard. My questions are does the guard really help pay for school, will she earn money while active, how much time does it actually take out of her schedule...etc. Pretty basic questions, but I need them answered to put my heart at ease. Thank You all

COVENTRY — Jennifer and Melissa Schroeder Rondeau reckon that since April they have kept 16,800 disposable diapers out of the state landfill.
That feat may not seem noteworthy at first glance, until you realize it takes a disposable diaper, at best, about 250 to 500 years to decompose.
"The state Department of Environmental Management told us that dumping untreated soiled disposable diapers into the landfill is the third largest source of pollution in the state," says Melissa. "It can take several hundred years for the decomposition of disposables to take place, with some of the plastic material never decomposing."
The fact is, Melissa says, disposable diapers are harmful to the environment: The untreated waste placed in landfills by dirty disposable diapers can also contaminate groundwater.
And that's just the beginning of a long list of problems Melissa says are associated with disposable nappies.
As a young environmentally conscious couple with children of their own, the Schroeder Rondeaus wanted a more eco-friendly alternative and decided to use 100 percent cotton cloth diapers for their two kids.
"We were sitting on the beach one day reminiscing about the cloth diaper services that existed before mega corporations created disposables," Melissa says. "We missed the tight-knit communities that had seemingly gone the way of cloth diapers, and ceased to exist."
In making the choice to go cloth with their own children, the Schroeder Rondeaus — both of whom have degrees and extensive backgrounds in business, marketing and pschology —also saw an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind green business in Rhode Island that, by all accounts, appears to be taking off.
On Earth Day of this year, the two eco entrepreneurs launched Mama Earth, an organic body care company and eco-aware cloth diaper service.
"We knew we could sit and discuss the woes of our planet all day, but to really make a difference, we needed to take action. And so, from the seeds of that conversation on the beach, Mama Earth was born," says Melissa, a 1993 graduate of Woonsocket High School.
Mama earth is the only cloth diaper service in the state, but it is a service that seems to be growing in popularity with the emerging influence of the Green movement. In just the past two years alone, 1,800 similar cloth diaper services have sprouted up around the country.
Coventry-based Mama Earth picks up soiled diapers and delivers clean, folded diapers to your door. The startup currently has customers all over the state, including Providence, Middletown, Bristol and Raynham, and currently has licensing prospects in Franklin, Mass., San Diego and Phoenix.
"Our customers belong to a global community dedicated to reducing waste and eliminating unnecessary chemicals from everyday life," Melissa says. "They take action by supporting small brands, like ours, with a commitment to organic, handcrafted products that restore balance to local economies. Our customers don't just blindly buy 'green.' Instead, Mama Earth customers are conscious of what their products are made of and who is making them."
Mama Earth's diaper service provides pick-up and delivery on a weekly basis. Each week, on the same day of the week, a Mama Earth representative arrives at a customer's home with fresh and fluffy cloth diapers. Soiled diapers are picked up in exchange for a customer's weekly supply of new ones.
The soiled diapers are brought to a laundry facility in Cranston where they are rigorously washed in a commercial washing machine and then dried and folded.
A Mama Earth representative carefully counts the number of diapers to be delivered, then packs the diapers in a fresh bag with a clean liner.
"We neatly fold and stack diapers inside a diaper bag, so it's easy to re-stock a nursery," Melissa says.
Today's cloth diapers aren't like the ones babies wore years ago. For one, they no longer require sharp pins to fasten. Contemporary cloth diapers use snaps or Velcro. Mama Earth's pre-folded cloth diapers can also be used with revolutionary Tuck & Go diaper covers that also fasten with snaps or Velcro.
"Today's cloth diapers are built to be purely functional, eco-friendly, and adaptable to any lifestyle," Melissa says.
Not only are cloth diapers good for the environment, they're good for baby as well.
Melissa says disposal diapers contain dyes, sodium polyacrylate absorbent gel, and dioxin, a by-product of bleaching paper that is banned in most countries other than the U.S. Scientific research has found a link between sodium polyacrylate and toxic shock syndrome and allergic reactions. Sodium polyacrylate is also harmful enough to be deadly to pets.
The Environmental Protection Agency, she says, has found that the dyes and dioxin used in disposable diapers can cause damage to the central nervous system, kidneys and liver.
Melissa says the use of disposable diapers can increase incidences of diaper rash. According to the Journal of Pediatrics, 54 percent of one-month old babies using disposable diapers had rashes, 16 percent having severe rashes.
"Scientists have linked male infertility and testicular cancer to disposable diapers, and they can raise the temperature of baby boys' reproductive organs, affecting their development," she says.
"Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are healthy, safe, comfortable, affordable, environmentally friendly, potty-training accelerators. There's really no comparison."
In addition to its cloth diaper service, Mama Earth is an organic body care company that offers a line of shampoos, moisturizers and body wash with vegan, plant-based ingredients.
The Rondeaus consulted with herbalists, doctors and university professors to come up with a formula of organic ingredients mixed with raw plants and vitamins to replenish the skin. All products are free of parabens, petrochemicals, and harmful or synthetic ingredients. Bottles and jars are gently handcrafted by local artisans."
Melissa and Jennifer are passionate about fair trade and "supporting a culture of respect throughout the globe."
As a result, Mama Earth supports local artisans who handcraft its products and packaging, and sources products from organic farmers, who in-turn can support their families and communities.
"Our diaper service licensing opportunities help spread eco-friendly business opportunities to regions across the nation," Melissa says. "At Mama Earth, our business is small, but we dream big. This is the attitude that has enabled us to have a global impact on families and communities around the world."
Next month, Mama Earth will announce plans to launch its own line of homemade baby food. The business is planning to partner with local chefs to make baby food using organic produce grown on local farms.
"We're proud of out business and feel like we're not only contributing to the health of babies, but to the health of the state as well," Melissa says.

The driver of a vehicle that struck an Indian River Central School District bus Thursday was injured, but no students were harmed, Jefferson County sheriffs deputies said.
Deputies said Jurgen H. Verne, 51, of 24502 Waddingham Road, Evans Mills, pulled out of a driveway onto County Route 16 in the town of Pamelia about 6:30 a.m., turning on his heat. The heat caused Mr. Vernes windshield to fog up, causing him to fail to see the bus, which had just started to pull away after picking up a child.
The bus driver, Samantha L. Condit, 36, of 136 Duffy St., told deputies the bus had moved about 15 feet before being struck in the rear by Mr. Vernes vehicle. Mr. Verne was taken to Samaritan Medical Center complaining of head pain. Neither the bus driver nor any of her eight passengers were injured.
Mr. Verne was charged with following too closely.

- How to Read a Study Record
Treatment: Immunization with peptide-mix and adjuvant. The vaccine should induce cellular immunity against HIV-1.
Target group: Untreated healthy individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection.
Purpose: The primary purpose is to evaluate tolerability and safety of the vaccine.
The secondary purpose is to evaluate the clinical effect of the vaccination treatment as measured by induction of immunity, lowering of viral load, induction of escape mutations in the virus and improvement in the patient CD4 lymphocyte blood counts.
The third purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a therapeutic HIV immunization study in a poorly-resourced African setting.
Design: The experiment is designed as a blinded, placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trial in HIV-1 infected individuals in West Africa.
Numbers of individuals: Phase I: 20 fully evaluable HIV-1-infected patients should enter the study (15 vaccine treated and 5 placebo(saline) treated controls).

- Tolerability and Safety of the Treatment. [ Time Frame: up to 6 months after end of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
We report here the numbers of participants with vaccine related adverse events degree 3 or 4.
Our goal for safety and tolerability was: "Fewer than or 3 patients of the 15 vaccine treated show treatment related (reaction 3) side-effects of degree 3 or 4".
- Induction of New T-cell Immune Response by the Vaccine [ Time Frame: up to 6 months after last immunisation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]induction of new T-cell immune response against one or more of the vaccine epitopes using Interferon gamma Enzyme Linked Immuno spot assay (IFNg-ELISPOT assay)measuring Spot forming Unis per 1 million periferal blood mononuclear cells (SFU/1 mio PBMCs) above treshold (> 50 sfu/mio PBMC).
- Lowering of HIV-1 RNA Viral-load in HIV-1 Immune Responders More Than 1 Log [ Time Frame: up to 6 months post immunization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]changes (lowering) in Plasma HIV-1 RNA viral-load (measured by Quantitative RT-PCR kit, ROCHE) of more than 1 log
- Increase in Blood CD4 T-cell Counts [ Time Frame: up to 6 months post vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Analyzed: Participants (minus drop-outs and withdrawn) with measured blood CD4 T-cell counts (cells/microliter). Reported: Numbers of participants obtaining an increase in measured blood CD4 T-cell counts post vaccination of >100 CD4 Tcell per microliter

Detailed Description:
The HIV infection does not leave lifelong immunity, but leads to break down of the immune system, opportunistic infections and death. The immunity obtained by the infection itself can only partially contain the HIV infection. The purpose with a targeted therapeutic vaccination is therefore in addition to the existing immunity to induce a broader, more powerful and more rationally or better directed immunity than the one induced by the "natural" HIV-1 infection. This would potentially lower the viral load in the blood making it more difficult to spread the virus to others and prolong the time to AIDS disease and medical treatment. There is a need for new rational vaccination possibilities, able to prevent (HIV) disease, postpone the need for antiretroviral medical treatment, prolong the life, and limit spread of HIV-1 in the population. The present protocol seak to introduce such a new immune treatment principle for HIV-1 infected individuals. In this study, individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection will be vaccinated with selected synthetic HIV immune-peptides representing new discovered conserved target´s on the virus. The vaccine should induce new immunity against several epitope targets on their HIV, whereby the HIV infection may be controlled for a longer time by the immune system. The purpose of the study is primarily to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the vaccine and secondary to evaluate the immunological and antiviral response in the vaccinated individuals.

The Maturity Of J.R. Smith
What was most infuriating about J.R. Smith, among the 37 infuriating things about J.R. Smith, was that the former Nuggets guard was wasting a gift.
He was Will Hunting. He was a prodigy with a Michael Jordan body and athleticism straight from the imagination of someone at Marvel. But he didn't just underachieve — hoisting jumpers carte blanche, playing defense like it was optional. He complemented said underachievement with preposterous, perpetual immaturity — suspensions, an arrest and continual clashing with coaches (here and abroad). He was a 6-foot-6 cliché, the spoiled athlete with warped priorities.
I provide you with this back story in effort to compliment the guy. See, J.R. has changed. So far. I mean, we're not a full month into the NBA season. But word out of New York is that the Knicks guard has done a 180, like one of his fancy dribbling moves. He's playing brilliant basketball. His coach pointed out that he dresses professionally now.
New York Knicks' J.R. Smith showing glimmers of newfound maturity – The Denver Post
Matthew Falkenbury
J.R. Smith had a wake up call this summer when after hitting free agency he found out that the money he expected to come rolling in did not.
He had to settle for the Knicks modest offer and go back to work on his life and his game. That's where Mike Woodson, who treats J.R. like a son, encouraging when needed and providing a proverbial smack to the back of his head when that's needed too also comes in.
Woodson's approach with J.R. coupled with what had to be a disappointment of a free agency period helped him to put the foolishness on and off the court away and put the talent we all knew he had front and center.
One example of course is the recent admission from J.R. that he partied too much last season in his opinion and that he has stopped that, realizing it was time to buckle down and work on his game.
The other example is when Woodson told him that he would be the 6th man. He was upset, which is understandable because he is a competitor and wants to start in the NBA. But he went to his teammates, talked about the problem, took the advice they gave him, which basically was, we need you here, now go out and get the job done, and has done just that.
J.R. is the kind of player that can fly half way around the world, show up with no practice, step onto an NBA court and score 15 points no problem. Oh wait, that actually happened. The point is that his talent as the writer from the Denver Post explains above is endless and now in this small seven game sample size, we are seeing it consistently for the first time.
J.R. is a fan favorite, his teammates love him and his coach has the trust in him to give him a chance to help the Knicks close out games and at times be a boost of energy off the bench.
His quest to become not just a good player but a great player is only beginning. But the wake up call he got this summer from the other 29 teams is helping the Knicks reap the benefits today from the new and mature J.R. Smith.

[1] Depending on the genetic cause, OI may be inherited in an autosomal dominant (more commonly) or autosomal recessive pattern.Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. People with this condition have bones that break easily, often from mild trauma or with no apparent cause. Multiple fractures are common, and in severe cases, can occur even before birth. Milder cases may involve only a few fractures over a person's lifetime. There are at least eight recognized forms of osteogenesis imperfecta, designated type I through type VIII. The types can be distinguished by their signs and symptoms, as well as by genetic factors.

Savognin lies in the high sweeping Surses valley (Oberhalbstein), between Tiefencastel and the Julierpass and Septimerpass. The impressive landscape with its craggy mountain chains, steep gorges and hilly mountain meadows already caught the eye of the renowned painter Giovanni Segantini, who resided in the Surses valley from 1886 until 1894. The mild climate of the Surses with its prominent southern influence is characterised by dryness and an abundance of sunny days.
The village of Savognin with its medieval bridge and three steeples remains accessible throughout the year thanks to the permanently open Julierpass. The nearby resort of Bivio situated on the Julierstrasse is also closely associated with the destination of Savognin.
The rather tranquil resort of Savognin boasts a particularly wide range of holiday apartments and bears the «Families welcome» quality mark. Eight children's playgrounds reflect the efforts that have been made to accommodate the needs of children.
200 kilometres of walking trails attract holidaymakers in the summer. Even mountain bikers will find enough trails – including specially signposted routes – in the Surses valley. En route, bathing lakes like the Lai Barnagn invite passers by to take a dip. More venturous visitors can try out the fixed rope route on the Piz Mitgel. The «Parc Ela» is a hiking paradise of a special kind: this newly-established regional park measures 600 square kilometres and offers 10 themed trails, multi-day tours and around 50 guided themed walks.
Savognin, a small resort with a large ski area: in winter, the 80 kilometres of especially wide pistes are a paradise for skiers and carvers, but they also lure many snowboarders. And kids will be well looked after too in the «Pinocchio Club» with its practice slopes right in the centre of the village.
32 kilometres of skiing trails await cross-country skiers, while winter hikers will benefit from 45 kilometres of signposted walking trails. Tobogganing enthusiasts will delight in the numerous toboggan runs which extend up to nine kilometres in length. Snow-shoe trekkers have a choice of six routes. After an intensive day on the slopes, the sulphur spring in the nearby thermal baths of Alvaneu offer welcome relaxation in warm water.
- Alp Flix – highland moor of national importance with over 2000 animal and plant species.
- Parc Ela – a regional nature park measuring 548 square kilometres situated in the Albula and Surses valleys.
- Senda ferrada Piz Mitgel – alpine fixed rope route offering two grades of difficulty.
- Alvaneu thermal baths – thermal baths and sauna landscape in the nearby Albula valley (15 km from Savognin).
- Ziteil pilgrimage church – one of the highest places of pilgrimage in the Alps.
- Via Sett – cultural and long-distance trail from Thusis to Chiavenna.
- Golf Club Alvaneu – an 18-hole golf course in the rugged and romantic Albula valley.
Top Events
- National Alpine 'Guggenmusik' Meeting (NAGT) – around 400 'Guggen' musicians bring a cacophony of sound and colour to Savognin (mid March).
- Origen Festival Cultural – Graubünden's largest cultural festival with opera performances in Riom Castle and the Sontga Crousch cultural centre (June-August).
- ÖKK Children's and Family Festival – master 12 jobs and enjoy a varied supporting programme (July).
- Savognin Lake Festival – with delicious food, music and entertainment until after midnight (July).
- Savognin sheep shearing spectacle – visitors are in the immediate vicinity on the Gravas village square; farmers bring their sheep to Savognin and shear the patient animals there and then (October).

Where am I?
A visa is issued by the US government allowing a non-immigrant to enter the USA. Most international students at Fontbonne University enter the USA on an F-1 student visa. You can reside in the USA while on an expired F-1 visa, however, if you leave the USA you cannot re-enter unless you have a valid F-1 visa.
You are required to have a valid passport while you are in the U.S. If your passport has an expiration date in six months, you should contact your embassy to follow the procedures for an extension. Make sure to make a COPY of your passport.
When you came into the U.S. or transferred to Fontbonne University you received a SEVIS I-20. This SEVIS I-20 is essentially your contract with the U.S. Your paper SEVIS I-20 is connected to an electronic record in SEVIS.
- SEVIS is an internet-based system that maintains accurate and current information on our international students and their dependents.
- Fontbonne University sends electronic information to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. The information that is sent includes: personal information; program information; addresses in home country and U.S.; registration of classes; and changes in any program information. You should think of your SEVIS record as live information.
- Every semester, Fontbonne University must report to SEVIS your registration and current address information.
When you enter the US, you are given a small, white card at the airport. This is your Arrival/ Departure Record, or I-94 Card, on which the Immigration Officer usually has written D/S, meaning "Duration of Status". D/S means you are allowed to stay in the U.S. until the completion of your school program (for example, English Language Program, B.A., or M.A.).
- Do not lose your I-94 card. There is a fee associated with a replacement I-94 card.
- If you were not issued a white card, then your I-94 record is electronic and can be found online.
Student Reporting Requirements
First-time entry into the USA
You must report to the Office of International Affairs upon entry into the USA.
Leaving and returning to USA on Fontbonne University I-20
You need to obtain a travel signature from someone in the International Center (Linda, Ryan, Jessica or Rebecca) on your I-20 before you leave the U.S. In order to request a signature, come to the International Center at least 2 weeks prior to your departure with:
- Your current class and/or next semester schedule.
- Your valid I-20
When you return to the USA, you MUST report to the International Center. Bring the following documents with you in order for us to make copies:
- Your passport/I-94 card
- Newly stamped I-20
Change of Name
You must notify the International Center if you change your name. Please schedule an appointment.
Change of Address
You must notify the International Center within 10 days when you change your address. You may complete a Change of Address form *here* (Link to COA form)
Change in Visa Status
You must schedule an appointment at the Office of International Affairs if you apply for a change in visa status. If you are granted a change of visa status, you must make an appointment at the Office of International Affairs and bring your evidence of your new status with you to the appointment.
Academic Responsibilities
Maintaining Full Course of Study
- UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: F-1 undergraduate students must enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester (except summer which is optional) to maintain active student status. Failure to do so is a violation of F-1 student status.
- GRADUATE STUDENTS: F-1 graduate students must enroll in and complete a minimum of 9 credit hours each semester (except summer which is optional) to maintain active student status. Failure to do so is a violation of F-1 student status.
- INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM: F-1 IEP students must enroll in 18 hours (5 IEP courses) of Intensive English Program courses each semester (except summer which is optional) to maintain active student status. IEP students are not allowed to enroll in any academic degree courses.
International students are required to attend classes on a regular basis. If you are going to be absent, you must contact your instructor(s). Failure to attend classes regularly may result in the termination of your immigration record for failure to attend courses.
Change of Major
If you change your major you must:
- Complete the Change of Major request form from the Registrar's Office and get appropriate signatures.
- Submit the Change of Major request form to the Registrar.
- Request a new form I-20 from the Office of International Affairs indicating the new change of major (by appointment only, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an appointment).
- SACM students: you cannot change your major without approval from your SACM advisor. Once you receive SACM approval to change your major please schedule an appointment with the Office of International Affairs.
Transfer to Another University
If you intend to transfer to another school you must notify the Office of International Affairs with the following information:
- An acceptance letter from the school you are transferring to;
- Complete a Transfer Out form providing us approval from you to electronically transfer your I-20
Program Extension
If you are unable to complete your degree program by the "Program End Date" listed on your form I-20, you must schedule an appointment with the Office of International Affairs. Please be advised to not let your I-20 expire.
Reduced Course Load
International students may enroll in less than the required full-time course of study for the following reasons:
- Initial difficulty with the academic/English level.
- Medical conditions.
- To complete course of study in current term.
To apply for a Reduced Course Load, please complete the Reduced Course Load (RCL) Application form and schedule an appointment with the Office of International Affairs to process the RCL for approval.
Change Education Level
If you plan to change your education level (example: Intensive English Program to undergraduate, or undergraduate to graduate), you must schedule an appointment with the Office of International Affairs.
End of Program
Following the end of your program you have a 60 day grace period to:
- Depart the United States.
- Transfer to another institution.
- Change your visa status.
Early Departure from Fontbonne University
If you plan to leave the U.S. before the end date on the I-20 and not return please contact the Office of International Affairs. Fontbonne University will need to report your early departure to SEVIS if you do not inform the university of your departure, the university will terminate your SEVIS I-20 for failure to enroll and maintain status.
Maintaining "Status"
From the time the F-1 student visa is granted, international students are required to follow a set of requirements in order to maintain status and the student visa.

Coleen Nolan's recent televised revelation that she made a sex tape provides an interesting example of how talk and discourse is saturated with moral work. Her self-confession allowed for a host of consequential moral assumptions to be made about her making of a sex tape. These assumptions rest on the known-in-common attributes that are associated with gender categories. The apparent 'shock' experienced by her sons, panel and audience about the revelation allows us to see her actions as a 'breach' to the common-sense cultural knowledge about how 'moral types of women' (e.g. mothers) should behave.
Wowk's (1984) research from a murder suspect interrogation and Stokoe's (2003) neighbour disputes research provide interesting examples of this moral accountability in practice. Their data revealed that peoples' perceptions of morality, in relation to women, were aligned with specific activities and characteristics for 'good mothers' (e.g. 'sexually discreet', 'mother-as-childcarer') and 'bad mothers' (e.g. 'being overtly sexual', 'swearing'). They also found that moral judgments were often non-explicit and smuggled in through indirect references to illicit behaviour in order to subtly police moral boundaries. Coleen's sons, the panel and the audience therefore, by their very (re)actions, can be seen to be unavoidably engaged in producing and sustaining a gendered moral order out of the particulars provided by Coleen.

Bunker Hill (NV) Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|from Basin Canyon
Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2013
|I hiked this one with Steven Stembridge from the end of the dirt road in Basin Canyon. Except for some sheep herders (and their sheep dogs) and 100s of sheep, we had the mountain to ourselves.
|Posted Sep 22, 2013 1:16 am
|Alternate Route
Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2013
|Lorraine and I started up the south east ridge from Mahogany Gulch, passing through a herd of sheep grazing on it. After bushwhacking through the thick sage brush found on the lower slopes we came into more open country. Following the ridge all the way to the false (but named) summit, the terrain changed to loose talus heaps above 10,000'. The traverse from the false summit to the high point, although described by at least one person as class 3 was probably no worse than a stiff class 2 by picking one's route through it carefully. There was no register to be found on the summit, only a cairn with a piece of rebar stuck in it. Great views of the range and adjoining valleys. The descent pretty much sucked, as it was down a steep, very loose and awkward slope leading out to a middle ridge that finally dropped down into a brush filled canyon with an abandoned 4x4 track leading back to the car. From here we drove around the range and down to the Columbine Campground to prepare for an ascent of Arc Dome.

|Sawmill Canyon
Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2011
|We actually thought we were in Basin Canyon until we began the descent. The hike was a little harder as a result due to more bushwacking and mileage but still not bad. The view from the summit is great and Kingston Canyon is cool. Fun day.

|beautiful area and a nice hike. 2nd peak of day so just made it back to my truck as got dark. took standard route. tried the basin canyon, but after 1/3 mile the road side was eroded away into stream. a quad would make it, but not my truck.

|Sawmill Canyon
Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2009
|Started climb from about 1/4 mile into Sawmill Canyon (about as far as my truck would go). First walked up canyon bottom for about a mile, then hiked up sagebrush slope on south side of canyon to rock formations on top of ridge. From there it was a straight shot up the ridge line to the saddle on the north side of Bunker Hill and then up the steep scree slope of Bunker itself. Great views from the top, and from the register I gather not many attempt this peak. Seems most of the locals enjoy these mountains from the seat of their ATV's, which you can see crawling relentlessly along the roads below as you climb.

|Basin Canyon
Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008
|Drove about 1.5 miles up the canyon to where the road ended. The switchbacks up the hill had been covered by landslides, but once up that hill the trail reappeared. Forgot to bring a new logbook & sure enough the old one that was placed in May 1984, is down to 1/2 a page.
|Posted Jun 7, 2008 9:30 pm
|Basin Canyon
Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2007
|Parked at Kingston Creek and hiked up through Basin Canyon, following first a road and then an old pack trail that switchbacked up to the ridge. Still quite a lot of snow--we had to posthole to work our way up to the main summit ridge, and from there it was a straightforward, though steep, trudge to the summit.
|Posted Oct 13, 2007 12:22 pm
|need new log book
Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2007
|if you're going up, take a new log book since the old one is full. think *small* book...it did take 20 some years for the previous one to fill up!

|Standard North Ridge Date
Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2007
|Camped at the Kingston Campgroud and drove to elevation point 9335, side hilled over to the saddle.
Took 2:15 to the summit and 1:10 back to car. Great weather since I was out of the sun in the early morning. Then it was off to Jefferson. Was very surprised on how many people were at the campgrounds.
|Posted Jul 16, 2007 11:49 am
|Dennis Poulin
|Route Climbed: Standard North Ridge Date Climbed: 3 Oct 2004
|Great climb with Dean. Lots of animal "sign" on the mountain. In other words, Watch Where You Step. Lots of sidehilling to get over to Bunker Hill itself.
|Posted Oct 20, 2004 1:37 pm
|Route Climbed: Standard north approach Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2004
|Dennis Poulin and I were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this area as well as the peak itself. The term "hill" is rather misleading as this "hill" is over 11 thousand feet high and has some nasty scree to deal with at a fairly steep angle (not apparent in the photos). We met a group of Las Vegas Mountaineering club members as we descended, a rare event as only a few parties climb this peak each year.
Oct 3, 2004
|Posted Oct 9, 2004 12:19 am
|Route Climbed: Standard North Approach Date Climbed: May 15, 2002
|Took me almost 8 hours due to snow and route variations. Should take an average hiker in non-snow conditions about 4-6 hours.

POTSDAM Two Wilson Farms/Sugarcreek convenience stores purchased by the 7-Eleven chain in 2011 have closed their doors.
The stores at 80 Market St. in Potsdam and 26 N. Main St. in Norwood were among the 188 stores in the state that 7-Eleven purchased two years ago.
Neither was among the five north country locations recently purchased by Stewarts Shops.
Charles J. Marshall, who works as a real estate developer for Stewarts, said the chain purchased Wilson Farms/Sugarcreeks second Potsdam location on Maple Street as well as stores in Heuvelton, Watertown, Lake Placid and Keeseville.
Mr. Marshall said Stewarts isnt planning to close any of the stores but is planning additions for both of the St. Lawrence County locations, noting the company will go before the village of Potsdam Planning Board on May 2. He said the additions planned for each location will allow walk-in coolers and freezers. A smaller addition is also being planned for the store in Heuvelton, but Mr. Marshall said customers at that store will likely notice little, if any, difference.
Items that have changed include merchandise offerings.
The first week we let the transition happen, he said, adding they then began rolling out small changes such as offering Stewarts brand products and ice cream, including the make-your-own sundae bar for which Stewarts is known.
Wilson Farms executives deferred comment to 7-Eleven, whose executives did not return a telephone message left Friday afternoon.
A third Wilson Farms/Sugarcreek store in Gouverneur not purchased by Stewarts remains open, although an employee who answered the phone Friday afternoon said the store would close April 18 for a transitional period before reopening under new ownership. The employee said he understands the stores closed in Potsdam and Norwood are not part of the new owners plans and are likely to remain closed.

CHAUMONT The state has recognized the village as a key stakeholder in the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm project, meaning Chaumont officials will also get to nominate candidates for the Article X ad hoc siting committee.
In a letter Thursday, the state Public Service Commission told BP it must amend its Public Involvement Program plan for community outreach within 15 days to include Chaumont as a directly affected stakeholder because part of the wind farms transmission line would be in the village.
Chaumont Mayor Valerie E. Rust said the village Board of Trustees will discuss nominating committee candidates at its next regular meeting Tuesday.
Mayor Rust said the village could simply choose to follow the town of Lymes lead and support Cape Vincent Supervisor Urban C. Hirscheys list of four candidates which already includes a Chaumont resident, Deanne L. Scanlon.
The other three candidates on Mr. Hirscheys list Thomas E. Brown, John Richardson and Donna L. Essegian reside in Cape Vincent.
If Chaumont officials decide to nominate the same four people, two of them will be appointed to serve on the committee by the state Senates Republican leader, Dean G. Skelos of Long Island, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan.
As representatives of the town and village of Cape Vincent, the town of Lyme and Jefferson County, the two members appointed to the panel along with the state siting boards five members will get to vote on the siting review for the 124-turbine wind project.

The city is seeking some state funding for two biking and hiking trails that someday could connect to the rest of Watertowns system along the Black River.
Over the last couple of decades, the city has completed almost 2� miles of trails. It hopes eventually to have a continuous trail system that would run mostly along the river.
The Watertown City Council agreed informally to apply for funding for an 875-foot-long bike trail along Huntington Street, as well as money for design work to connect Veterans Memorial Riverwalk with Whitewater Park about a half-mile away.
The city then would have to arrange for funding to pay for the actual construction of the pedestrian/bike path, Senior Planner Michael A. Lumbis said.
Both are long-anticipated projects that the citys Riverfront Committee has been wanting to complete.
The committee, which oversees the trail system, recently urged council members to go after state funding for the trail projects after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced $60 million in commitments to promote tourism and recreational activities upstate.
The proposed projects would be funded from programs through the Department of State and Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Under the proposed Huntington Street project, the trail would be adjacent to the city wastewater treatment plant and begin at the Route 3 sidewalk bridge to the eastern end of Waterworks Park. The cost of the project would be about $140,000.
It would also bolster the states plans to connect the Black River Trail on Ridge Road into the city, Mr. Lumbis said. The state has been planning to do that for quite some time.
The city would be entitled to 75 percent of the cost in funding from the Parks Office if the city declares the property along the road parkland. Otherwise, it would receive 50 percent, Mr. Lumbis said.
If the city receives funding for the other project, the $25,000 would pay for survey work and subsurface investigations, as well as preliminary and final designs. The city would be eligible for 50 percent funding for the total cost of the project through the Department of States Environmental Protection Fund Waterfront Revitalization program.
To help fund the two projects, the city could use $57,000 it still has in the 2013-14 budget from last fiscal years Black River Fund, Mr. Lumbis said. The applications are due Aug. 12 through the Consolidated Funding Process.
Despite the citys informal commitment, Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith said he would like proof the trails are used by the public. While the city does not track such data, rafting trips attract an estimated 40,000 people a year, according to local officials.
Almost all of the citys trail system is on the rivers south side. The trails mainly snake through the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds, Veterans Memorial Riverwalk, Factory Square and the Marble Street, Whitewater and Waterworks parks.
Last year, more trails were added in Marble Street Park and Bicentennial Park, along the river at the fairgrounds. They were added when overall park improvements were completed there. The first set of trails was completed in Waterworks Park, across from Huntington Heights, during the 1980s.
So far, the city has completed 21 projects along the river.
Council members decided not to seek funding for two other projects: building an overlook at the end of Edmund Street and connecting trails at the fairgrounds with recent improvements in Bicentennial Park.
