COLTON Residents of Colton and outlying areas say they are fed up with limited Internet access.
Good service, where there is any at all, is hard to come by in this area, according to community members who have formed a committee to address the technological dilemma.
The town of Colton High Speed Internet Committee is sending a letter to Empire State Development North Country Regional Director Roseanne Murphy in support of Slic Network Solutions application for economic development grant funding to provide high-speed broadband internet service to the area.
Broadband today is seen as an essential service much as electricity and phone were seen 80 years ago, the letter states, adding that the service is critical to the viability and sustainability of the area.
Ensuring that the area has broadband improves the overall quality of life in the area, promoting population retention and removing the digital divide between the served and unserved, the letter added.
Committee Chairwoman Grace J. Hawley, who is also the deputy supervisor for the town of Colton, said the project aligns with the strategic goals of the North Country Regional Economic Development Councils goals of providing universal coverage of low cost, high speed broadband throughout the north country.
Mrs. Hawley said the project, which helps fill the gaps that currently exist in the broadband infrastructure, started with a request from Robyn L. Hosley, professor at the SUNY Potsdam Crane School of Music, who has a home on Raquette River Road in South Colton.
Its what started the committee rolling because nobody up there has service and so weve been tracking to see just how many people are currently being unserved, and many are just underserved, Mrs. Hawley said. It turns out that less than 50 percent of the residents are being served. So there is definitely a need.
Efforts to reach Ms. Hosley were unsuccessful Friday.
Time Warner estimated the cost of installation for high speed service wiring at $122,198 for 28 homes and two power sites within a 3.4 mile area, Mrs. Hawley said.
That is a definite problem at this point, but Im very impressed with the way the community has taken this on, she said.
The committee is planning to meet June 4 with Outreach Director Angela R. Liotta of the state Broadband Program Office to learn about funding and the next step the committee should take.
The committee has also been working with Slic Network Solutions President Philip J Wagschal. Mr. Wagschal said his company has been working with Colton for the past five months and has had past success in receiving grants for unserved areas such as Schroon Lake.
They are very engaged folks looking to put together a successful package, Mr. Wagschal said. Its not only the folks on the committee that see the need but they also are looking for overall economic development in the area.
Within the state there are grants for broadband expansion, not only through Connect New York but also under the New York state regional economic development councils Consolidated Funding Application, which is what the committee is seeking.
Application materials will be available by June 3, and submissions from the regional councils are due Sept. 24.

Alligators are a marvel of life; they can live up to 100 years and their species is over 150 million years old. This mahjong set in black matte, faux alligator leather may not last 150 million years, but its quality is undoubtable.
Matte black is very fashionable at the moment, but it is classic enough that you will be able to use it for many years to come as your everyday mahjong set.
The white acrylic tiles also feature a classic motif, which, to a great extent, plays off of the stylings of the mahjong set's case. There's also a pleasant surprise in store; the racks in the American mahjong set are intensely chromatic, enlivening an already lively game.
This mahjong set comes with 166 tiles, four racks, a rules booklet, three dice, a bettor, and 100 chips.

Cloud Stories: Energy Forecasting
The University of Texas cloud helps forecast our future energy needs
By Paul Navratil, primary investigator, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin, Academic Research
With the second- and third-largest academically hosted super computers in the world, we have a lot of experience managing large amounts of data for research purposes. But what's really exciting is what we can do with that data, how we can use it to develop real solutions to some very real challenges. Using touch screen visualization tools based on Intel® technology, we help people see their data, making it accessible to researchers and consumable to the public.
Take the Pecan Street smart grid demonstration project as an example, where we collect usage data for electricity, water, and gas, as well as solar energy generation data, from more than 200 homes, schools, small businesses, and commercial buildings in the Mueller community of Austin, Texas. A number of metering devices and sensors measure energy usage in the buildings and then stream that data to TACC.
Eventually this project will capture data from more devices, such as Intel® Atom™ processor-based smart energy hubs and advanced energy sensors, involve as many as 1,000 homes and businesses, and encompass more data points, such as circuit-by-circuit information, to understand which appliances and devices are most efficient and where home-based energy production (such as solar) is best utilized. The Intel® devices will also enable testing of software to let homeowners manage their electric vehicles and HVAC systems so they can optimize utility-rate programs and potentially save money and/or energy.
The Pecan Street project is expected to amass several terabytes of raw data this year—data that must be dissected and analyzed and served to a variety of constituencies. Our supercomputer, based on Intel® Xeon® processors and soon the Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel® MIC Architecture) with our upcoming Stampede system, has the power to crunch the data on multiple variables, enabling researchers to ask the kinds of questions that can lead to real solutions. For example: Which refrigerators in this neighborhood are nearing the end of their energy-efficient life? Is it more effective to deploy solar panels on the south or west side of the building?
As the Pecan Street project evolves, our ability to visualize and share the data will hopefully make a real difference in energy policy and user habits in the future. For example, consumer product manufacturers could use this information to design equipment that's more efficient, together with an interface that provides updates to the consumer smart phone devices. Homeowners might consider alternative energy sources or change their energy habits once they can see how much energy it takes to run their big-screen TV. We will also be able to share this data with policy makers so they can learn which energy sources are most effective and where there is the greatest need. One day soon, the data we are collecting from this project might help the mayor of Austin assess the energy needs of the whole city. Personally, I think that's really exciting.

Case Histories: A Novelby Kate Atkinson
"Atkinson connects the lives of her ensemble cast of characters with a blithe, fairytale-like narration that can be, at turns, hilarious, macabre and suspenseful, but is blessed at all times with a remarkable lack of sentimentality. She bestows her characters, for the most part, with cruel childhoods and bleak adulthoods, but those good enough, and lucky enough, will be given a chance to solve their mysteries and, perhaps, find happiness." Anna Godbersen, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A triumphant new novel from award-winner Kate Atkinson: a breathtaking story of families divided, love lost and found, and the mysteries of fate.
Case One: Olivia Land, youngest and most beloved of the Land girls, goes missing in the night and is never seen again. Thirty years later, two of her surviving sisters unearth a shocking clue to Olivia's disappearance among the clutter of their childhood home...
Case Two: Theo delights in his daughter Laura's wit, effortless beauty, and selfless love. But her first day as an associate in his law firm is also the day when Theo's world turns upside down...
Case Three: Michelle looks around one day and finds herself trapped in a hell of her own making. A very needy baby and a very demanding husband make her every waking moment a reminder that somewhere, somehow, she'd made a grave mistake and would spend the rest of her life paying for it — until a fit of rage creates a grisly, bloody escape.
As Private Detective Jackson Brodie investigates all three cases, startling connections and discoveries emerge. Inextricably caught up in his clients grief, joy, and desire, Jackson finds their unshakable need for resolution very much like his own.
Kate Atkinson's celebrated talent makes for a novel that positively sparkles with surprise, comedy, tragedy, and constant, page-turning delight.
"[A] compelling narrative drive....Playful humor, an impressive technique, and an offbeat detective with a penchant for weeping are the most obvious pleasures of a page-turner that succeeds in being both brainy and thoroughly entertaining." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[A] literary star on the rise....Case Histories combines the suspense of a whodunit with the richly textured plot of a sprawling family saga....
"[The] complicated narrative crackles with the earthy humor, vibrant characterizations, and shrewd social observations....[A] compulsive page-turner....Wonderful fun and very moving: it's a pleasure to see this talented writer back on form." Kirkus Reviews
"Ms. Atkinson...grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go....[A] wonderfully tricky book....To read it is to enter a hall of mirrors....
"Superfluous plot elements...may lead to comparisons with Ian Rankin's Inspector John Rebus series, but only briefly, for this is a very new world of old crimes. Recommended." Library Journal
"Atkinson's preoccupation with family secrets finds its natural place in a strong, confident plot....In Case Histories, [her distinctive novelistic] skills have found their literary home." Times Literary Supplement (London)
"If Case Histories were a typical crime novel, it would be an entertaining adventure....But...in revealing [her characters'] flaws and motivations [she] achieves a richer, more satisfying result that is as much a 'why-done-it' as a whodunit." Denver Post
"Kate Atkinson's funny, furious fourth novel rumbustiously drives a path through the genre of detective fiction, demolishing its careful, forensic summations of human behavior and replacing them with bloody, believable, vigorous tales of wrongdoing and loss, of personal." Rachel Cusk, author of The Country Life
"[O]dd and brilliant....[A] delightful, fascinating, and bitingly funny read. Atkinson has brought to life a marvelously diverse cast of unforgettable characters... (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
"I think it's her best book yet, an astonishingly complex and moving literary detective story that made me sob but also snort with laughter. It's the sort of novel you have to start rereading the minute you've finished it." Jacqueline Wilson, Guardian Summer Books
This new novel from award-winner Atkinson is a breathtaking story of families divided, love lost and found, and the mysteries of fate. As Private Detective Jackson Brodie investigates three cases, startling connections and discoveries emerge.

CWS flood response in Missouri: Debra Tarver
Donna Derr, director of development and humanitarian assistance for CWS, tells an audience at the Brookings Institution that the best defense is to develop plans that will help make us more risk averse.
The village of Pinhook, Missouri, was devastated when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers diverted the overflowing Mississippi River to control flooding. Debra Tarver is trying to help her community recover. CWS is helping her learn how.

|The Alliance to Save Energy recommends setting proper levels on washing machines to avoid wasting water when laundering smaller loads.
It may read like a broken record to local residents , but the issue remains a top priority in Carbon County, Utah and the western United States.
In July 1962, Price officials announced in the Sun Advocate that the administration had made three criteria part of the city's request for water conservation.
The officials indicated that the utmost voluntary cooperation would be required by local residents in order to avoid the necessity of implementing strict water usage restrictions throughout the remainder of the summer.
The conservation points identified by Price city officials in 1962 included the following:
Outside watering should be done only when necessary and not just because there is time for it.
Outside watering should be only done for short periods of time and only enough to freshen lawns and shrubs.
Outside watering should be confined to early mornings and evenings, with watering prohibited between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Any watering during the heat of the day is mostly waste because of heavy evaporation.
Identical announcements could have been made during the droughts in the late 1970s or the early 1990s.
And of course, the emphasis on the need for Carbon County residents to voluntarily implement water conservation practices is certainly be applicable in connection with the current drought conditions.
The cast of characters who issue the directives may change, but the words remain basically the same.
And with the steadily increasing demand created by America's energy and water consumptive society, the warnings are as important as ever.
The warnings and the precautions associated with how and when to use water outside have changed very little.
Officials and citizens involved with water in the West are repeating the same messages over and over again - people must conserve.
Water conservation practices are officially encouraged every summer, whether an area is in the midst of a drought year or not. But in some years, it seems like consumers are actually encouraged to use more. But not in summer 2002 and definitely not in southeastern Utah.
Some residents talking on the streets the last few days believe that the rain the area received during the week has helped to alleviate the local water problem.
But even in the areas of the Castle Valley where hard thunderstorms pounded the ground with so much rain that the water ran off in small rivers, the soil still remains extremely dry only an inch below the surface.
Summer thundershowers seldom do anything for a bad water situation, other than to keep people from having to water their lawns for an extra day or two.
By properly watering lawns and yards, residents can make the biggest impact on supplies in Carbon County.
But focusing on water conservation inside the house can also make a difference.
Many of the conservation measures people can implement to save water reduces energy consumption.
Saving energy represents another premium during the hot summer months when millions of air conditioners are toiling to keep buildings and homes cool.
The Alliance to Save Energy recently released several guidelines for in-house conservation.
Some of the alliance's recommendations are conventional ideas. Other suggestions offered by the organization have unique, relatively unfamiliar twists.
The alliance's conservation recommendations include:
If homeowners are in the market for a new dishwasher or washing machine, they should look for appliances featuring the Energy Star label.
Front and some newer top loading machines with the label use significantly less water.
Dishwashers often have cycles that require less water and energy as well. Consumers should utilize the features.
When people are using a washer or a dishwasher, they should try to operate the machines with full loads.
If less than a full load of laundry is to be done, consumers should adjust the water level on the washing machine appropriately.
People should refrain from washing all loads on the highest water level.
Residents should install low-flow shower heads. The heads can save up to five gallons of water per minute while the shower is turned on.
People should take short showers instead of baths.
Residents should fix drippy faucets or leaky toilets. A leaky toilet can waste up to 52,800 gallons of water per year.
Another thing that will conserve water is to put new aerators in taps. Many newer models use less water and provide more pressure.
Residents should place a plastic bottle filled with water in toilet tanks.
People following the plastic bottle tip will save up to 11 gallons per day.
Consumers should turn off the water while brushing teeth.
Not letting the water run can save up to four gallons per minute.
People should try to recycle water when possible instead of letting it go down the drain.
For example, people can connect barrels to down spots to collect rain to water plants and flowers.
Moisture collected during a rainstorm can also be used to wash motor vehicles, equipment or fruits and vegetables.

"And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. "
Acts 14:1 Now at Ico'nium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great company believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.
Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.
Acts 14:3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Acts 14:4 But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
Acts 14:5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to molest them and to stone them,
Acts 14:6 they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycao'nia, and to the surrounding country;
Acts 14:7 and there they preached the gospel.
Acts 14:8 Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked.
Acts 14:9 He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,
Acts 14:10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and walked.
Acts 14:11 And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycao'nian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"
Acts 14:12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.
Acts 14:13 And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people.
Acts 14:14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying,
Acts 14:15 "Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
Acts 14:16 In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways;
Acts 14:17 yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."
Acts 14:18 With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.
Acts 14:19 But Jews came there from Antioch and Ico'nium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
Acts 14:20 But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
Acts 14:21 When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Ico'nium and to Antioch,
Acts 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
Acts 14:23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.
Acts 14:24 Then they passed through Pisid'ia, and came to Pamphyl'ia.
Acts 14:25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attali'a;
Acts 14:26 and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
Acts 14:27 And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Acts 14:28 And they remained no little time with the disciples.

The number of rabies cases in St. Lawrence County continues to rise, as does the number of human exposures, but Public Health officials believe the escalating cost of providing post-exposure immunizations primarily will be covered by health insurance rather than the government.
Through September, there were 28 cases of rabies found in wild animals, mostly raccoons. In 2011, by comparison, there were four cases; in 2012, six cases.
The number of animals positive for rabies has increased from an average of 4.2 percent of those submitted for testing over the last three years to a positive rate of 23 percent through mid-September this year.
The county Public Health Department budgeted $100,000 for rabies control this year. In July, the county Board of Legislators increased that amount by $45,000. Interim Public Health Director Lorraine B. Kourofsky recently received initial approval from legislators to boost up the budget for this year by another $60,000 to pay for medical supplies and expenses.
There were 32 incidents of human exposure through mid-September this year compared with an average of 25 per year over the past three years.
Although health insurance providers previously have denied benefits for post-exposure rabies shots, Public Health officials said they have become more insistent on reimbursement. The cost of the vaccine used in treatment has increased 21.55 percent since 2010 and the cost of the immunoglobulin used in the vaccine has gone up 53.87 percent in the same period.
Almost all of the positive rabies cases fall along the border of the St. Lawrence River, from Morristown to Massena, and eastward to the middle part of the county, from Gouverneur to Brasher. There also was a case in Edwards and one in Parishville.
Vaccine-laced bait has been dropped to try to immunize susceptible wild animals. This years drop, following successes in Canada, changes from a fishmeal base to marshmallow, believed to be more palatable to animals, Ms. Kourofsky said.
Officials are urging pet owners to have their dogs, cats and ferrets vaccinated.
You need to take care of the family, including the family animals, Ms. Kourofsky said. We would like to have everyone make a real good effort to have their animals vaccinated.
More than 100 pets were vaccinated in Gouverneur on Thursday at a clinic sponsored through a special grant procured by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton.
Remaining rabies clinics in St. Lawrence County will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Ogdensburg Fire Department and from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Lisbon Fire Department.
Jefferson County has confirmed five cases of rabies. To fight spread of the disease, Mrs. Ritchie will host three additional clinics in Jefferson County from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 16 in the Adams village barn, Oct. 23 in the town of LeRay highway barn and Oct. 30 at the Alexandria Bay Fire Department.

Interdisciplinary Inquiry
Humanity is Now the "Rainbow Nation" that Mourns and Celebrates Mandela
We are all privileged to have lived in the time that Nelson Mandela lived. When Mahatma Gandhi died, Albert Einstein said: "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth." The same is true for Nelson Mandela.
As many have already commented, Nelson Mandela was not, and did not want to be perceived as, a saint or a prophet who by himself lifted his country out of bondage. Truly transformational social change rarely occurs without the efforts of many individuals, often combined into social movements. Mandela was the representative of a national and global social movement against the apartheid regime of South Africa, and it had many heroes, including Winnie Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and TransAfrica founder Randall Robinson. It was the movement as a whole that brought down apartheid.
But, individuals can and do make a difference, large and small. The difference Nelson Mandela made was large. In emerging after 27 years of imprisonment to become post-apartheid Africa's first president, he became an example for the world of dignity, reconciliation, forgiveness, courage and steadfastness through tremendous hardship, and grace. During his captivity, the world cried "Free Nelson Mandela," but in his spirit, Nelson Mandela was always free.
Echoing Martin Luther King, Jr., in his eulogy for Mandela, Barack Obama said that he "bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice." More importantly, the form of justice Mandela chose to seek favored truth and reconciliation over an eye for an eye. One of the hallmarks of Mandela's leadership was inclusion. Once in a position of power, Mandela and his allies could have reversed the tables on white-ruled apartheid South Africa, but instead chose to create a "rainbow nation." South Africa's post-apartheid constitution was the first in the world to prohibit government and individual discrimination based on sexual orientation, including it among a wide list of categories, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, color, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. Mandela campaigned tirelessly against AIDS in Africa and throughout the world; he stood both against the disease itself as well as its stigma, acknowledging that his own son had died of the scourge.
It is because of people like Nelson Mandela that we are able to speak with confidence about the potential for transformative social change in the world. When such people come into our lives, we are all made greater because they show us our individual and collective potential, what we can all aspire to be. We can point to his life and the social movements in which he participated and led, and say: if it can be done, it can be done again; if he and they can do it, I and we can do it.
In this interconnected age, Mandela is a hero for the whole world, an inspiration to every person deciding whether to speak out, or put their bodies on the line, for social justice, peace, democracy, or human rights. All of humanity is now part of the rainbow nation that mourns his loss and celebrates his life.
Joel Federman is Director of the Transformative Social Change Specialization at Saybrook University

|Jeff Newland, owner and manager of JNC Trailrides and Outfitters of Green River is pictured on top of Molly, one of his pack mules. Newland not only knows the country like the back of his hand, but is full of stories about the history of the area. The other pictures on this page portray the Smith Ranch homestead, nestled on the Eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell. This homestead lies just west of the Spanish Trail that was used as a trading route from New Mexico to California between the 1820's and the late 1840's.
There is so much historical significance in Eastern Utah and only a handful of early travelers and pioneers documented their efforts as they molded the country we know today as Emery and Carbon counties. They literally carved out trails, homesteads and mines from the cliffs of one of the most beautiful parts of America. I had the opportunity last week to visit a small portion of this area in Southern Emery County with Jeff Newland, who manages a pack company out of Green River. On horses we spent the day along the Eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell and got only a glimpse of the vast country.
Historically, one small piece of the early development happens in the early 1800's as traders from Santa Fe, New Mexico developed a commercial route through Western Colorado and up into Eastern and Southern Utah on their way to California. According to historians, although many of the documented articles differ slightly, the trail was known as the Spanish Trail. Think of the Trail as an early day trucking route before the times of freeways and train tracks.
This 1,120 mile route entered Utah somewhere northeast of Monticello and headed northwest into the Moab area crossing the Colorado River. It made its way towards Green River in what is now Grand County. Just northeast of the townsite of Green River is a sign indicating the location of the crossing of the Spanish Trail through a shallow part of the Green River.
According to locals the crossing tied in with a large island in the Green River. This location lies in the shadows of the picturesque Book Cliffs. From this point the traders trudged northwest into what is now Emery County heading towards the north end of the San Rafael Swell.
Green River has been a crossroad of several historical pioneers whose documents helped preserve the history of the region. These include the famous Gunnison survey, the Mormon party headed by Oliver Huntington and John Wesley Powell. The local museum in Green River, named after the famous Powell, has an incredible amount of history of the area including the Spanish Trail and its significance to Southern Emery County.
The horseback traders headed almost directly northwest into the Swell and although documents differ on the exact route, it weaved its way northwest between what is now Highway 6 and the San Rafael Swell, following the washes. Regardless of the exact route it seems to have followed the watering holes, which were few and far between in this vast desert country. Depending on how close to the Reef the trail went it must have been quite a site to see the buttes, pinnacles and mesas in the not-so-far west as the horsemen made their way through the washes and rocks. Stories have it that the trail took the northern route into Utah because of the difficulty in crossing the Grand Canyon and hostile Indian tribes in Arizona.
From all accounts the two significant springs or watering holes along the eastern edge of the Reef include Trail Spring and Big Holes. From Green River Springs, the trail emerges from the sands of the Lost Spring Wash at Cement Crossing, on an unused grade of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad bed that was built across the northern part of the Swell in the early 80's a direct route from Green River to Price.
Just east of this section of the Trail is the Smith Ranch homestead, still part of the ranching family today. Although weathered in time, portions of the buildings still stand, including the ranch house, corrals, root cellars, and outbuildings. The homestead was built along the side of a wash and is located in a beautiful setting looking out towards the Book Cliffs on the East, nestled and protected from the reef on the West.
The Trail continues its way toward Big Holes in Pack Saddle Gulch. Beyond this area the trail emerges into an open area passing between the broken rim of the San Rafael River and the thousand-foot-cliffs of Cedar Mountain on the right. This course angles its way through the northern Reef until it drops into Huntington Creek and Castle Valley.
It's a small bit of history preserved in a vast wilderness in remote Emery County. Used between 1829 and 1848 the Spanish Trail was really the beginning of interstate commerce as horse traders brought their wares west to the California coast.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
As the welding truck drove toward us I could see that the driver was rolling down his window to talk with me.
"Your front tire is really low," said the mustached man as he leaned out of his vehicle looking down at the right left tire of the SUV I was driving in the direction of Wellington. "I think you need to pull over and change it before that tire gets ruined."
Problem was, I couldn't change it, because I didn't have a second spare.
I leaned out of the window and looked at the tire.
"We lost one back tire up Cottonwood Canyon and I used the spare to replace that," I said in a groaning manner as I saw the flattened letters of the brand of tire it was laying near the ground. "Do you have a compressor on board your truck so I can blow it up and maybe it will get us to Wellington?"
"Sorry, I don't have anything at all," said the man as he pulled away. Another truck that was obviously with him also pulled by headed up toward Cottonwood. I decided to forge onward until the tire was so flat that I feared damaging it, so I did.
Within just a few minutes however we found ourselves parked in front of the old Nutter Ranch where I had hoped someone was around. No one was. Now the tire looked worse than those dollar pancakes you buy at a cheap "family" restaurant.
"What do we do now?" asked my wife, as the light rain that had fallen in the area all day began to put much larger and more frequent drops on the windshield.
"Well we will just have to wait for someone to come by," I said looking around at the fading daylight and in my rearview mirror at the Duchesne/Nine Mile junction a half a mile behind us. I watched as gas field truck after gas field truck turned to go over Gate Canyon instead of heading toward Carbon County. It was then that I realized exactly what I had been hearing from many county officials was true. Most of the people working in the gas fields in Carbon County near Nine Mile live in Duchesne and Uintah County.
"The way it looks we could be here all night with as late as it is," said our friend who was seated in vehicle on the passengers side. The SUV was hers, and we had taken it to tour the area so we could see it for the upteenth time and she could view it for the first time.
Being modern people we all reached for our cell phones at the same time, although I knew this was a feeble gesture at trying to make ourselves feel good because I knew there would be no service.
The rain was now beating down very hard on the vehicle and I got out to look around at our surroundings. The Nutter Ranch was deserted and of course there was nothing to aide us with our plight. A cargo and hay trailer, a few outbuildings, two ranch houses and a bunkhouse, but nothing there that would be helpful. I started to think about Tom McCourt's book Split Sky as I stood there and realized that we were on the ranch where he had worked when he was 16 and this was the very place where that tale of growing up was centered.
I got back in the vehicle and as we discussed our situation in the fading light my wife suggested that possibly I could walk back to the junction to see if I could find someone who could at least bring a compressor over and blow up the tire.
The owner of the SUV pointed out that she had a rain poncho to go over my sweatshirt so I wouldn't get too wet. She took it out of its pack. It was a bright robins egg blue; pretty I thought, but not exactly what I would want to wear when encountering big, burley gas field guys. I got out of the car and immediately the rain pounded down on my head; the blue plastic suddenly looked better.
I put it on and walked for a few minutes as the rain splattered on my face. Just as I neared the intersection another welding truck came driving up and was about to turn toward Duchesne when I flagged it down. The young man on the passenger side rolled down his window and I told him of our plight.
"We don't have anything like a compressor with us," he said as he peered at me, probably trying not to laugh at my nose poking out of a blue background that could have blinded the sun. Then he must have seen the desperation in my eyes. "Yeah loosing a couple of tires in this canyon is a big deal. There is no help up here."
But as we talked he suddenly got a gleam of light in his eyes.
"I have an idea," he said as he and the driver dug behind the seat of the truck. They found a hose and some air fittings. But what to do about air.
"See that dump truck over there," he said as I looked up and saw another guy standing by a ten wheeler near the intersection. "We were going to pick him up to go home but that has air brakes. I think we can rig something up. It'll just take a few minutes."
I headed back to give the women the good news, however unsure it was. By the time I reached the SUV the dump truck and welding truck were right behind me. They had rigged up the hose and began to fill the tire which responded nicely. By this time it had stopped raining and I had torn off the poncho. My wife looked at me.
"You looked pretty funny walking down the road in that," she said with a smile on her face. I grimaced. "You know though I thought about it and we had two umbrellas in the car too. You could have taken one of them instead."
Yeah. I could have seen myself taking a stroll down that road with a pink umbrella. I'll stick to robin egg blue any day.
When they were done filling the tire I asked them to call my son and let him know about our problems when they got to the point they had service at the top of Gate Canyon. They agreed to do that after I thanked them profusely. I didn't know if the tire would hold up the 30 miles to Walkers in Wellington, because I had no idea when it had started to leak originally, but I had hopes because as far as I could remember on the way up the canyon that morning every other place along the way looked as peopleless as the Nutter Ranch.
As we pulled away I had visions of Tom hauling hay as a kid in the dimly lit fields around the ranch. It made me wonder about all the other stories that could be told if there was someone to tell them about this little corner of the world. It actually made me a little nostalgic about my childhood growing up on a farm and hauling hay, tending to irrigation water and taking care of cows.
"Gee, I have to say I was kind of thinking staying at the Nutter overnight, even in a car would have been kind of an adventure," I said as we traveled down the road and turned a curve so I could no longer see the ranch buildings in my mirror. "I almost wished we couldn't have gotten help until the morning."
I didn't look at the faces of the two women with me as I said it, but I am sure they were rolling their eyes at me.

I like the Neocell products. I take Neocell bovine collagen but read about the benefits of fish collagen for the skin, but I did not want a product with shark collagen due to the decimation of sharks, which are a keystone species and will affect life on Earth if we kill them off. Please consider this before you buy shark collagen.

shipment was carried out very fast, thank you I am taking collagen as a supplement since some time now and I can really feel the positive effect on both beauty and health. I went through chemotherapy and my skin was sagging and tended to impurities. I also had problems with my joints. Both is getting better now. I think that taking collagen helped.

Once he sang - I wish I was eighteen again. Well, this collagen works - bones aint craking that much. And the fish collagen absorbs better than the others. So, it's a good deal, and the price is not unbearable.

CAPE VINCENT Those who use the town transfer station soon might have to start making detours to the clerks office to buy punch cards, instead of paying cash on-site.
At an auditors recommendation, the Town Board is considering a no-cash policy at the transfer station on Wilson Road. This would mean customers will have to pay first at the town clerks office on Route 12E, some 2.7 miles away, or write a check.
Opposing the move is station operator Nina E. Buskell, who views it as an unnecessary inconvenience to her customers.
During discussions at a recent town board work session, she told Cape Vincent council members that many of her customers are seasonal residents who use the transfer station on weekends, when the town clerks office is closed.
People come in with cash. They have a dollar, and theyve got a dollars worth of garbage. They dont like the punch cards, she said. Im not saying you cant make them buy it, but Im saying I know my customers.
And then youve got the summer people and the cottage people who come up, and theyre only here for the weekend, she said. Theyre not going to buy a punch card to go to the dump to get rid of their one bag of trash.
But town officials maintain that this change is necessary to prevent problems such as the embezzlement of town funds by former town clerk Jeri A. Mason and that its just a matter of changing peoples habits.
Ms. Buskell said the town had made attempts to switch to a punch card system before with little success.
And whos going to decide how much the load costs? she asked the town board. I can tell you basically how much weight is sitting in that trailer because Ive been doing it for 10 years.

Beacon of Light: My Path to Becoming a Young NAMI Leader
By Jinneh Dyson, Executive Director, NAMI Metropolitan Houston
My desire to help people overcome adversities stems from the agony that I felt when I lost my mother to cancer at the age of 14. I grew up in a small town in southeast Texas and was very active in my community, church and school. I was the good girl that made straight As, excelled in sports and was a leader among my peers. Striving to uphold this image, I learned early in life to mask my pain. I knew that if I was great in school and continued to excel in sports then no one would ask questions and no one would see my pain and hurt of growing up without my parents; as my father had not yet accepted his calling to fatherhood. To disguise the pain, I gave in to many of the struggles and low expectations and perceptions of self that surround many youth who are lacking parental guidance and support. I was diagnosed at 17 with major depression, but was told by close family members that all I needed to do was pray and move on. And pray I did! But the depression never lifted.
I went on to college and did what I knew how to do best. I got involved by joining several college organizations, started attending church and volunteered with youth organizations. However the dark clouds of depression took over my life and I felt the pain and pressure of trying to survive in a world in which I still felt different and ashamed to be me. I quickly went from an A to an F student and started to internalize and believe all of the negativity that I had ever received from those around me: I would never make it in school, I was not good enough and I was the reason for the absence of my father. I became severely depressed and isolated myself from my peers.
It was not until I was placed on academic probation and was informed that I had one more semester to improve my grades that I would be asked to leave the university and return home. Homewhat was that? I had no home. For me, home is where the heart is and my heart was now in heaven. So if I was sent home, I would have nowhere to go, as everything I owned was in my dormitory. Reflecting back on that day now, I must admit, that it was the best day of my life because it motivated me to start living a life of purpose. It gave me a reason to regain hope, inspiration and the courage to overcome.
I sought treatment and built a strong and positive support network around me and as a result I received numerous awards and accolades for my academic and leadership endeavors; even one by Texas Governor Rick Perry at the Texas Conference for Women in 2003.
After graduating college, I knew that it was my passion and life calling to work with others that had been affected by mental illness. After many years working in the field, I realized that my voice and my story were needed in a different capacity. I was needed to advocate for others. In 2008 I started working as a director of education for a NAMI Oklahoma and soon after I was promoted to executive director, making me one of few African Americans in this leadership role and, being under 30, one of the youngest. After a recent move closer to my childhood home, I am now the executive director of NAMI Metropolitan Houston.
Although, I have overcome many hurdles in life, I believe that it is not the destination that matters, but it is the life lessons that I have learned along the way. My life is a testament to the fact that anyone can bloom where they are planted, despite lifes obstacles. I believe that I am only standing here today because of my personal quest to play the hand that was dealt to me and because of my willingness to allow my pain to give birth to my purpose. And I believe that we overcome challenges and obstacles in life not solely for ourselves, but so that we can be a beacon of light for others.
Jinneh's story originally appeared in Recovery For All, a Web section created by NAMI's Multicultural Action Center to offer timely information and updates on the activities, resource development and projects surrounding diverse cultural issues in mental health. To hear more about Jinnehs story listen to her powerful speech given to students at Silsbee, Texas High School as keynote speaker for Black History Month on Feb. 24, 2012.

Money from a recluse for the Clifton-Fine community this year will help feed people, inform them, give them a place to rest, improve the look of a cemetery and create a vision for a historic building.
Robert F. Damoth, Cranberry Lake, died in 2011 at the age of 76, leaving four organizations about $2.5 million through an endowed fund administered by the Adirondack Community Trust. Starting this year, Clifton-Fine Central School, Clifton Community Library, the Wilderness Health Care Foundation of Clifton-Fine Hospital and Cranberry Lake Fire & Rescue will each receive $15,000 annually.
Mr. Damoth left a fifth portion of his bequest unrestricted. The use of that annual grant of $15,000 will be determined by the Clifton-Fine Economic Development Corp. at the request of Adirondack Community Trust.
They said, You know your community best, said Christopher L. Westbrook, president of the nonprofit economic development corporation.
Clifton-Fine Economic Development Corp. asked for proposals, receiving requests for more than $27,000. It awarded just under $15,000.
We were looking for new projects, new ideas to get things off the ground, Mr. Westbrook said. We also tried to spread it out over the entire Clifton-Fine area.
The largest award, $4,430, went to replace a stove used by the food pantry and a free community meal program to prepare a Wednesday night dinner for 85 to 100 people.
The Cranberry Lake Boat Club will receive $3,750 to install a meditation bench at Wanakena Cemetery and to replace benches around Cranberry Lake. The benches will have a plaque honoring Mr. Damoth and Adirondack Community Trust.
Wanakena Historical Association will receive $2,000 to create a kiosk at the Wanakena Walking Bridge that explores the history of the community and the bridge. A second project will move the Wanakena lending library a waterproof box where books are left and picked up to public land and improve the structure.
The Oswegatchie Cemetery Association will receive $2,000 to improve the look of the graveyard along Route 3.
Clifton-Fine Economic Development Corp. will receive $1,500 to begin creation of a publication that lists businesses and charitable organizations and points out the benefits of shopping locally. The organization also will receive $320 for advertising in the Bargain Hunter a community newsletter copying and related expenses.
The Fine Town Hall Committee will receive $1,000 to hire a consultant to create a strategic vision for the landmark, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
Don't you just love the NBA draft? I know; I probably love it more than some because I adore pro-basketball so much, but it is, afterall, the funnest draft around. And that is for a number of reasons.
First it is because for the last 18 years it has been on TNT (or some dirivitive thereof). Ted Turners networks just do things in a different way; a way that appeals to me. That is, of course, except the advertisements. There are way too many of those considering I am paying to see the programming.
They always have interesting people analyzing the draft and statements that border on near lunacy are often mumbled by the panel.
Don't you just love it when the draft someone that the experts didn't expect and they don't even have a picture of the guy, much less video tape and stats?
But the best part of the show is always Charles Barkley. You just can beat him for saying what he thinks at both the right and wrong times.He doesn't worry what anyone thinks about him. I mean why should he. He's big and tough, he has money and his basketball career is over. He's been arrested for assault a couple of times, although maybe the people he assaulted actually deserved it.
With his sense of humor and honesty about what he sees he could easily take over for Jay Leno when the well known comedian on The Tonight Show. In fact I am going to e-mail Leno and tell him to stop running recent reruns when he takes a week off and put Charles on to replace him. That would truly be interesting.
Anyway, the farther the program got into the draft on Wednesday night the more honest Barkley became. Sometimes shockingly so.
He was the only one from the beginning that was down on the selection of Yao Ming. His question about the 7'5" player from China was a very viable one. How is Rudy Tomjonovich and his team mates going to communicate with him in an end of game huddle? In fact, the team also drafted Bostian Nachbar from Sovenia as well. I can just see point guard Steve Francis yelling out plays in three languages when he comes down the floor.
Then came the tirade against the college "farm system" for the development of basketball players. He called the college system corupt and said colleges gain so much from the kids, yet they fail to graduate most of them. He came right out and called the institutions of higher learning "crooks."
The reaction of the other panelists, which included Kenny Smith, Hubie Brown and University of Missouri Coach Quinn Snyder (who looks younger than most of the players he coaches) was that their jaws dropped down to the desks they were sitting at.
After a moment of silence (you could almost hear commissioner David Stern groaning back stage) Snyder got some time to defend the college system, but Barkleys comments had touched nerves and he continued on them for a few minutes despite the reactions. Even the camera seemed to shake for a few minutes as the operator was either chuckling or shocked at what Barkley had said.
All this banter was interactive with the audience that was assembled in New York, and you could hear people react to the comments of the panel.
Just before the draft was over, Barkley told Stern, who was standing at the podium, that he remembered when he first came into the league the commissioner had dark hair. The commissioner didn't say much, he just walked away, much of his gray hair having come from Barkley.
I was waiting for Stern to reply to Barkley, "And you had hair." But to be honest, I can't remember Barkley ever having hair.
Anyway it was a night of surprises and new frontiers from the number one draft pick being from a foreign country, to having the first college graduate not picked until the teens, and a third of the players in the first round hailing from outside the United States.
Let's face it; this draft is almost always a circus. And this year Barkley was it's ring master.

For thousands of years now, people from different religious persuasions have been at each other's metaphorical and literal throats. With the 9th anniversary of the 911 tragedy, religious nut-jobs have taken the opportunity to take up their old habits. The latest manifestation of this age-old tradition seems to be playing out . Apparently, "God" told some crazy reverend, Terry Jones, to burn the Qur'an and then, at the last minute, not to. I don't get. I also don't understand it. Nor do I understand the Muslim backlash: burning American flags, threatening Jihad, etc. I do believe, however that anyone has the right to commit these acts in addition to burning or pissing on any religious or science book that they please, which is in contrast to what Sadaf Syed wrote (see link below), who suggest that such acts are against American Values. I disagree. I believe being American gives us the license to be as offensive as we can get away with, as long we are willing to accept the consequences.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I don't care if religious people piss each other off, I just don't want them burdening the rest of us with their bullshit. Whose of us who have reached the age of reason should not have to suffer from their need to adhere to centuries old mythology. And lets be frank, the only difference between Greek, Christian and Muslim mythology is that Christian and Muslim mythology hasn't been snuffed out by the next big mythological belief system. Personally, I'm hoping rationalism will take their place, but it probably won't happen in my lifetime. But I digress….
I wonder, Should I really be all that surprised that religious people are pissing each other off? According to Preston, Ritter and Hernandez (2010) probably not. It seems that religion, while having the potential for leading some people towards prosocial behavior; it also leads others to more antisocial ends. It seem that the antisocial behavior stems from a need to protect their group. In other words, if they perceive threats to their beliefs they lash out. So maybe that means rationalism is on the rise…I can only hope….

Say "choker necklaces" to anyone who was a pre-teen or teenager in the early '90s and chances are two girls will come to mind: Drew Barrymore (circa her maroon lipstick, super-plucked eyebrows, and short, platinum hair years) and Winona Ryder (the petite poster girl for gothic glamour). As the era's formative style icons, both were frequently photographed wearing black velvet chokers, often times embellished with short pendants or rhinestones, which were integral parts of their grunge-girl looks. While that specific time period and style will always remain dear to our hearts, we're happy to report that the current take on chokers is nothing like the aforementioned iteration. Thanks to a combination of mixed metals and intriguing textures, these necklaces are much more sophisticated, as you can see from today's Accessory Report!
In addition to appearing on all sorts of fall runways-from the sleek Naomi Collar ($195) spotted at Vena Cava to the chunky chain-link Brass/Resin Choker ($1295) at Yves Saint Laurent-we adore the way our favorite tastemakers are embracing this trend. Some, like Jessica Hart and Jen Brill, are incorporating open-ended chokers into their after-hours ensembles. Hart, for example, selected the Swarovski Crystal Choker ($4050, 800.628.8916) by Ferragamo, which she paired with the plunging Houndstooth Silk Dress ($1950, 800.628.8916) for a Fashion's Night Out party at the brand's store. Brill also kept the focus on her choker by opting for a décolletage-baring neckline at a dinner honoring Carven's Guillaume Henry earlier this year. Brill selected Delfina Delettrez's Button Down Silver Collar Necklace ($2049) as her standout accent piece, and styled it with a strapless Carven jumper and Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony boots.
In addition to Hart and Brill, we also spotted some heavy metal chokers on two more fashion insiders: Marie Claire's Taylor Tomasi Hill and Margherita Missoni. Tomasi Hill was spotted at the Alice + Olivia F/W 11 presentation in New York earlier this year wearing a Fenton buckle choker with a Burberry biker jacket, Christopher Kane floral and lace skirt, Isabel Marant heels, and a Celine bag. The buckle necklace is in perfect keeping with her edgy ensemble and we love how she wore her hair in a simple, slicked-back style. Missoni also opted for unfussy, pulled-back hair for the Love Ball in France earlier this summer. The stunning designer/brand ambassador selected a silver choker-she picked it up in Laos-for the event, paired with a white Valentino Couture dress, vintage belt, and a clutch from Thailand. The result: an internationally chic look that works on every level!
Ready to follow in these ladies' fabulous footsteps and incorporate a marvelous metal choker into your fall wardrobe? We thought you might be, so we found a range of interesting options for you to consider. If you're looking for a substantial style and aren't afraid of studs, you'll definitely love Topshop's Stud Metal Torq Necklace ($35), which has an incredibly reasonable price tag too. Craving something with black links like the YSL runway iteration? Don't miss Vince Camuto's Link Necklace ($75, available any day), which also comes in an ivory version. Have a little more-okay, a lot more-cash to spare? Then you might want to indulge in Mawi's Femme Fatale Collar with Spikes and Crystal Gems ($1393). It's got a vintage-meets-luxe-punk look that's incredibly cool and very editorial, though it's an investment, for sure. But back to reality: if you're crazy about Jen Brill's Delfina Delettrez collar, but want something more affordable, you simply must check out Dannijo's Aram Necklace ($158). It's part of the Mr. Dannijo collection (a collaboration with Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeller) and is available in oxidized silver or oxidized brass. Also be sure to take a look at Reiss' Hutton Tubular Metal and Resin Choker ($115), Fallon's fabulous Bourdin Bike Chain Choker ($190), and Annie Costello Brown's Black Leather Chain Collar ($350), which is the coolest.

The Helpby Kathryn Stockett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women— mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.
"Four peerless actors render an array of sharply defined black and white characters in the nascent years of the civil rights movement. They each handle a variety of Southern accents with aplomb and draw out the daily humiliation and pain the maids are subject to, as well as their abiding affection for their white charges. The actors handle the narration and dialogue so well that no character is ever stereotyped, the humor is always delightful, and the listener is led through the multilayered stories of maids and mistresses. The novel is a superb intertwining of personal and political history in Jackson, Miss., in the early 1960s, but this reading gives it a deeper and fuller power. A Putnam hardcover (Reviews, Dec. 1)."

The Chinese make up at least 20% of the population of Babel. The majority of the Chinese are direct descendants of the coolies who worked the tin mines. The oldest temple is in Batu Rusa, a village along the road from Pangkalpinang to Sungai Liat. A beautifully decorated temple is found near Tayu in the north of Bangka Island. There are approximately 55 Chinese or Buddhist temples on Bangka alone that are still in use.
Due to its proximity to sea, sea food has become a favorite. Chinese influence also can be seen in the dishes that mainly use Chinese spices. While you're here try gebung, the local dialect for chicken fish. Its firm and tasty flesh will delight your senses.
