Sartorially speaking, it really doesn't get any bigger than September. Between all the fashion magazine fall previews, must-read trend guides--including our own!--and the madness that is Fashion Week, it is without a doubt one of the industry's most exciting and busiest months. And what better way to kick off the next four weeks of fabulous fashion than with a spectacular edition of WWW Hearts, jam-packed with all the things we really love and are looking forward to! Break out your calendars, dear readers, because whether it's the DL1961 x Bag Snob denim collaboration or the release of Kanye West's highly anticipated new album, we can assure you there are plenty of things you don't want to miss this September!
DL1961 x Bag Snob Emma Leggings ($178) in Ornate
We had to pinch ourselves when we first saw the amazing DL1961 x Bag Snob capsule collection-a denim collaboration like this seems almost too good to be true! Lucky for us (and you) it's really happening, and the collection, which is out now, is filled with six essential fall styles designed to suit all the fashionable occasions in your life. Bag Snob's Tina Craig and Kelly Cook set out to create a jean for every day of the week, resulting in covetable styles like the flared Joy and our favorite, the baroque-inspired Emma skinnies in Ornate! Do yourself a favor and check out all the styles here today!
Opening Ceremony Pop Up Bag ($495, available 1st week of September)
Opening Ceremony has ventured into bag territory before though various collaborations, but the retailer has never designed its own main line of stylish carriers-that is, until now! Available at the beginning of the month, the new collection consists of five functional styles appropriately named after each Opening Ceremony boutique: OC NY, OC LA , OC Ace, OC Tokyo, and the Pop-Up, which is featured above. Each style is offered in a range of hues and materials, so finding a bag that matches your personality will be a cinch!
AERIN Beauty Collection Debuts
To say that Aerin Lauder has beauty in her genes would be putting it mildly. She is the granddaughter of cosmetics legend Estee Lauder after all, and has accumulated a whopping 20 years in the business, most recently working as Style and Image Director for the Estee Lauder brand. So naturally, it was only a matter of time before Aerin stepped out and created a line of her own. AERIN is a reflection of Lauder's affinity for effortless and easy beauty and consists of two collections: the permanent Essentials Collection, which includes an assortment of everyday products like the Multi Color for Lips and Cheeks ($42) and the Lip Gloss ($30) in Perfect Nude for Weekday, and the Color Collection, which features seasonal products based on the current trends. To learn more about Lauder and her amazing new line, be sure to R.S.V.P. for our exclusive live video chat on AERIN's Facebook page September 5th.
Noteworthy Albums
September is not just a big month for fashion, it happens to be a pretty big month for music too! We're counting down the days until the September 18th release of Kanye West's new album Cruel Summer, and you better believe we already pre-ordered a copy of Coexist from fashion favorite the xx, out September 11th. And let's not forget about No Doubt! If their first single "Settle Down" is any indication of what we can expect from the band's long-awaited comeback album, Push and Shove, out September 25th, then we're in for a real treat. Other noteworthy releases include Mumford and Sons' Babel, out September 24th, and Deadmau5's Album Title Goes Here, out September 25th.
Favorite New Face: Langley Hemingway
It may be a little premature to throw out predictions for the season's hottest new faces, but we're willing to bet anything you'll be hearing the name Langley Hemingway a lot over the next few months. While the 23-year-old comes from a powerhouse lineage (note: she is the great-granddaughter of author Ernest Hemingway, daughter of actress Mariel Hemingway, and younger sis of model Dree Hemingway), the model/artist is definitely paving her own way in the industry. In addition to appearing in editorials for the September and October issues of Jalouse and the October issue of Vogue Japan, Langley will also appear in a holiday cosmetics campaign shot by David Sims, which will be announced at the end of October. And did we mention she's an incredibly talented illustrator too? While she's currently working on an art collaboration expected to exhibit in the coming months, you can see more of her amazing drawings alongside her editorial in this month's Jalouse!
Chloe 60th Anniversary
In celebration of 60 years of inspirational fashion, Chloe is opening its first-ever exhibition dedicated solely to the luxury brand's storied history: Chloe Attitudes. The exhibition, which runs September 28th to November 18th in the newly refurbished galleries of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, features a curated collection of 70 archival pieces and iconic looks from each of Chloe's nine key designers, beginning with its founder Gaby Aghion and extending to its present Creative Director Clare Waight Keller. Never-before-seen illustrations and photographs will live alongside the various garment groupings, providing an additional way for viewers to explore each of the designer's creative processes. But the Paris exhibit is only just the beginning of the momentous 60-year celebration! In spring 2013, Chloe will release a limited-edition collection of iconic pieces from over the years, which will be followed up by a coffee table book in time for the holidays.

There is no shortage of fly fishing gear in the market today. Indeed, fly fishing's increasing popularity has created an explosion of gear available over the past decade.
This explosion of fly fishing gear that is available, however, has a dark side. For anglers new to the sport, the sheer assortment of gear available, the fancy terminology that is frequently used and the often steep prices anglers have to pay for good gear has all conspired to make selecting the right fly fishing gear for your needs a rather difficult one.
It's my hope that anyone who visits this section of Big Sky Fishing in search of fly fishing gear will come away with a good idea of what gear is needed and why.

I recently came into the 21st century by getting a smartphone, and it didn't take me long to recognize that if the device were truly intelligent, it wouldn't allow me to access my investments so easily.
Oh, there's no denying that the smartphone can be a powerful tool, but it's a bit like giving the average person a nail gun, capable of quickly putting up a real structure in the hands of a carpenter, but equally capable of requiring a visit to the emergency room when wielded by a novice.
Lessons in investing from your smartphone
Chuck Jaffe's short time with a smartphone has shown him that constant access to one's finances tends to turn running money into an obsession. Photo: Getty Images
Financial-services companies have rained apps on the public, all meant to help track and manage investments, and if the advances stopped with merely being able to pay bills and observe your portfolio in real time, then most people would probably benefit from the deluge.
But they don't stop there, and neither will consumers using the technological advances.
Fidelity Labs, a part of Fidelity Investments, recently previewed its market monitor service for Google Glass, the first investing "Glassware." Glass is a tiny computer built into eyewear, that Google GOOG, -0.50% says makes for faster and easier on-the-go computing activities. Effectively, it's a "heads-up display," the way a fighter pilot's helmet gives them aircraft/flight information without ever having to look down.
It's cool, but that doesn't make it particularly helpful for the average investor with a penchant for gadgets.
My short time with a smartphone has made it obvious that the increase in personal productivity that someone can get by being able to handle chores like bill-paying and more by phone is impressive. Sadly, it's equally clear that constant access to one's finances tends to turn running money into an obsession more than a necessary activity.
Worse yet, the developers of most new applications don't just want consumers to believe their service is worthwhile, they want them thinking that what they've got on their phone is a technological marvel, where there's not the slightest bit of quality trade-off for that constant access.
Thus, fans of the E-Trade baby like to believe that they can act in an instant on the latest news, sitting on their smart phone, when they're in the fray against pros sitting at their desks. As one day-trader I know put it: "It's your smartphone – and the distractions you have when using it, and the potential troubles you have connecting on the go -- against the terabytes of memory and data I've got at my desk. It's not just that you brought a knife to a gunfight, it's that you think you're well-armed."
ALSO SEE: Fed Tapering: the math investors need to know
Mike Stern, director of financial services at Xtreme Labs, the largest app developer in North America, took it a step further, noting that the professional stock jockeys don't just have the computing horsepower, but "they have technology that was built for them, as opposed to all of the other stuff in the app store that, truthfully, was built for amateurs and that is going to be used in a pretty juvenile way.
"We are still pretty early in the cycle here," he added, "and it's exciting that you can trade on the phone, but that doesn't mean that most people should actually be doing it all the time."
What's more, the constant, non-stop flow of information is going to make people want to use their apps and tools more.
Human brains are wired to process, evaluate and react to information, and the more data fed to your brain about your investments, the more likely you are to react. The more you think your tools are good, the more you think you will benefit from these moves.

From Rose's Garden: One Final Reflection
Wow! Where do I begin? Let me just say this: The last six months, especially the last couple, have been a HUGE challenge for me. And not for the reasons that I would have initially thought I would be sharing with all of you. The Gluten Free Challenge turned into something far different than I anticipated.
Iris and Shirley (my coach) opened my eyes to much more than dealing with food issues and challenges. They actually suggested that I learn to love and accept myself...AS IS! Not an easy task for me at all.
Iris, you opened up a whole new world to me.
Shirley, although our talks were few, your quiet, non-judgmental demeanor - interspersed with Louise Haye - was a welcome respite.
For the past few months, I have been learning to set boundaries. I honestly never realized how much of a pleaser I really am. It is often said that we teach others how to treat us, and these are words I'm learning to live by. I realized that I have been saying yes to just about everything since I was very young. When I finally said no, I had often come to such a state of frustration that I responded in hurt and anger.
I want to make one thing very clear, and it's this: For those of us who are so very sensitive to the needs of others, the reason that we have to set boundaries is not to hurt others or be unavailable, but rather to protect ourselves. I am learning that being in a relationship doesn't mean losing my sense of individuality. I have also come to realize that I was never taught to effectively set necessary boundaries.
My boundaries were weak, unguarded, and unclear. Sad, I know. With no boundaries, people dumped on me in almost every area of my life. I was letting in all kinds of "stuff" that wasn't MY STUFF. I was unconsciously giving away my own personal energy. So unhealthy.
When it became apparent that I had much work to be done, I got down to business. My boundaries needed to be shored up and I needed to return to my center. I needed grounding. I liken grounding to a tree setting her roots into healthy, rich soil that she can draw upon in times of need. I began setting aside time for myself every couple of days, meditating or just being still, and frequently getting lost in my art, which I had lost touch with.
I am slowly working on these issues. This isn't an overnight thing. It's taken me years to get where I am and I'm allowing myself time to get where I need to be. I am learning to surround myself with people who love me for who I am, and I am eliminating people who I've discovered are toxic. By toxic, I mean people who manipulate, abuse or try to control me. I am seeing results and I no longer feel responsible for everyone else's happiness. Only mine. I'm not being selfish. I'm just learning to love me.
Learning to set healthy boundaries takes time. It's a process. I am setting them slowly and within my own time frame...not when someone else tells me. Iris and Shirley, I thank both of you from the bottom of my heart.
Love and peace to all of you. And remember to take care of yourself. ♥

Rose, that was so beautifully written and identified with a lot of what you wrote. From your posts, I know there is much to love about you. Keep on protecting yourself and setting your boundaries....I think it's wonderful. And your art is beautiful!!! Dorothy

Rose, I very much relate to this post and making changes has been a long-term process for me. I struggle with letting in stuff that is not mine constantly, and conversely just shutting down to shut this out. Good job on all of your hard work setting boundaries!
I love your words here - the tree and its roots in rich soil, and your descriptions about why we need boundaries. We do teach others how to treat us and for some of us, it is difficult to learn how to teach that better. I need a boundaries blog to read every day. :) Great work and thanks for sharing.

Rose- I am so proud of you, you have taken on this Challenge and much more. I applaud you for learning to set boundaries as it can be a difficult thing to do especially when our friends and family know us a certain way. I urge you to continue on this path of looking after you first, so that then in return you may look after others. Hugs
- November 22, 2013 at 11:14 AM
I just realized that my final blog was posted.
Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words. How awesome is it to have this "safe spot?"
I am, really, going to miss writing these posts. This has been such a great experience.

|Icy, Dicey Mess; Travel Treacherous
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 26 February 2013 08:06
We will apparently get to test the new Saturday school plan in Watauga, as schools here are closed as the area iced over with a mix of rain, freezing on every surface, and sleet. Schools across the High Country closed, with Foothills and even Piedmont schools delaying or cancelling.
The icy weather began in the early morning hours, and reports are that roads are extremely slick, especially secondary roads, with the mix of frozen precipitation. Best advice—don't go unless you absolutely have to. So far, few power outages are reported—the first power lost around Lenoir— but with a quarter inch of ice predicted to coat everything, more of us may experience power outages. Area utility companies are on high alert and crews are out working.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
In a ruling on Wednesday afternoon, Federal District Court Judge Dee Benson stated that while Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar was not really within his power to withdraw 77 gas and oil leases that had been sold to private companies in 2008, the plaintiff companies that filed the suit were past the deadline for doing so when they filed last year.
"The plain language of the Mineral Leasing Act mandates the Secretary of Interior to accept bids and issue leases as part of the competitive leasing process for oil and gas leases," wrote the judge in the conclusion of the ruling. "This mandate truncates the discretion the Secretary generally possesses to determine whether or not to issue a lease. In this case, the Secretary exceeded his statutory authority by withdrawing leases after determining which parcels were to be leased and after holding a competitive lease sale during which the BLM named the plaintiffs high responsible bidders. Ultimately though, the plaintiffs' claims are time barred. Faced with a strict statute of limitations, the plaintiffs failed to file their suit within 90 days of the Secretary's final decision. Under 30 U.S.C. 226-2, this is too late.
Accordingly, judgment is entered in favor of the defendants."
The case began as a lease sale that seemed by some to be hastily arranged by the Bureau of Land Management in late 2008 just before President George W. Bush left office. One of the things the BLM did not do was give enough warning to the National Park Service of their intentions. Parcels near Arches National Park were with in the realm of the sale and so consequently conservation and environmentalists became upset about the sale even before it took place. They also were concerned about other parcels in Carbon, Uintah and Duchesne Counties as well.
The sale went on and the companies paid their deposits for the leases they were high bidders on. This was the same sale that environmental activist Tim DeChristopher was involved with, where he tried to bid on parcels although he had no money and no intention of developing the leases.
On Dec. 22, 2008, just three days after the sale, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance filed a motion to place a restraining order and injunction to stop the distribution of the parcels. The district court it was filed with, in Washington D.C. issued an order for the leases not to be distributed.
After the Barack Obama administration was sworn in, he appointed Salazar as Secretary of the Interior. One of Salazar's first actions was to withdraw the leases. This brought on a storm of fiery protests from not only companies that were involved in the sales, but citizens and officials throughout eastern Utah that felt the denial of the leases was not only wrong but would badly damage the economies of the area.
Some of the companies involved filed suit with a claim that the federal defendants in the suit acted arbitrarily and carpriciously by withdrawing the parcels. In addition there were also "county plaintiffs" (listed above) who joined in the suit.
The federal governmental agencies that were the defendants were also joined by environmental groups (namely the SUWA and some others) that the court allowed "intervenor status."
The plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Interior Board of Land Appeals (part of the Interior Department) but were told that the board did not have the power to do anything to change the status of the leases. It was after that, on May 13, 2009, that the companies and the counties filed their suit, more than 90 days after the decision.
Eastern Utah energy experts have been saying ever since that the lease withdrawal was not only hurting America's energy supplies, but also were damaging the eastern Utah economy. Not long after the withdrawal of the leases, drilling rigs for both oil and gas became scarce in the three county area.
Carbon County Commissioner John Jones said on Wednesday the withdrawal of the leases caused a "tremendous impact" on businesses and industries in the local area.
"The drilling companies felt insecure about investing anywhere on federal lands because of that decision, so they took their rigs and left for the Dakotas," he said.
That means that even if drilling would eventually be allowed, it will be delayed because the equipment is gone. Jones also said that motels and restaurants lost a lot of customers because drill rig and exploration crews were filling rooms and tables on a daily basis.
"When I went back to Washington to the Interior Department I tried to explain to these people that the decisions they make back east hit us in the west like a tsunami hits an island far away from an earthquake," he said.
But that testimony apparently meant little to many of the people Jones talked to.
As of Wednesday afternoon it was unclear as to what will happen next, but more legal action may be on the horizon.

MASSENA The president of the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerces Board of Directors said she has heard enthusiastic responses to a plan to offer geocaching, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing rather than dog-sled racing on the trails at Hawkins Point during the upcoming Massena Winter Carnival.
Everyone weve talked to has been very positive. They are happy they are going out on the trails, Miriam S. Catapano said.
Ms. Catapano, the Massena Winter Carnival chairperson, said their committee opted not to have dog-sled races in 2014 because of the expense and fees associated with bringing the race to the Frank S. McCullough, Jr. Hawkins Point Visitors Center and Boat Launch.
However, theyre teaming up with the Nature Center at Robert Moses State Park to provide alternative entertainment to the trails that had been used for the dog-sled races.
During the geocaching, participants will travel the trail finding different locations using a GPS unit and solving riddles at the location. The event will be on-going throughout the day.
Ms. Catapano said visitors who want to take part in snowshoeing or cross-country skiing can do so at their own distance preference.
They dont have to do the whole length (of the trail), she said.
Patrick Curran has donated a warming tent, and there will also be a food booth inside the visitors center. Organizers also plan to have horse-drawn rides, depending on the weather.
The 2014 Massena Winter Carnival, which has a theme of Family & Friends Winter Magic will be held Jan. 16 to 26. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for Jan. 16, with the Massena Cup hockey tournament set for Jan. 17 and 18 at the Massena Arena.
A Kids Day will be held Jan. 18 at the Massena Community Center, along with a moonlight ski and snowshoe at the Nature Center and a Boys and Girls Club Trivia Night at the Massena Elks Lodge.
The Winter Carnival Parade through downtown Massena is scheduled for Jan. 24, followed by fireworks from Bushnell Field.
Activities on Jan. 25 include a 5K walk/run at Whalen Park and a Winter Carnival Market at Hawkins Point. Another Kids Day will be held Jan. 26 at Hawkins Point, along with closing ceremonies.

Ms. Catapano said, as they continue to add to the Winter Carnival calendar, their big push right now is fundraising.
This week we have put intense effort into fundraising for the Winter Carnival. Its going a little slower than last year, but were not unsuccessful. It is our priority this week going into next week. Our big push right now is to do fundraising. The Winter Carnival takes a lot of money, she said.

Isaac F. Norris, ca. 1851 - September 23, 1928
Isaac F. Norris
from composite photograph of
Tennessee House of Representatives,
42nd General Assembly, 1881-1882,
TSLA Collection.
Following the complex trail of documents about Isham F. Norris is a labyrinthine chase. Not only did Norris move his family to some extremely unexpected locations, but he also went by two different names: Isham and Isaac. He himself tended to choose Isham for such personal documents as census surveys and his children's birth records; most Tennessee General Assembly accounts called him Isaac; Memphis city directories were more arbitrary in their choices, using both names interchangeably.
The 1900 census, the first in which Isham Norris was mentioned, listed October 1851 as his birth date. All three census records in which his name appeared stated that he was born in Tennessee, although no information has yet been located that would identify his exact birthplace, his parents, or his birth status (slave or free). The detailed age information provided in his death certificate, which stated he was born in 1854, suggests that his birth date was, in fact, October 15, 1853 – he was said to have died at the age of 74 years, 11 months, and 8 days.
Norris's first appearances in Memphis city directories came in the 1870s, when he was listed as a porter (1874, 1876) and a laborer (1878, 1882); the directories never mentioned that he was elected to the General Assembly during the 1881-1882 term. For the next several years (1883-1892) he was listed as a grocer and dealer of wood and coal, along with a variety of partners: J. Harris (probably John Harris, a wood dealer), Thomas J. Turner (a teacher at the Winchester School), and the Reverend Mr. Taylor Nightingale (pastor of the First Baptist Church, 155 Beale Street, and part owner of the Memphis Free Speech newspaper, where Ida B. Wells would soon become a writer and editor).
In 1880 Norris, along with fellow Republican Thomas F. Cassels, was elected to represent Shelby County in the 42nd Tennessee General Assembly (1881-1882). The two Memphians, in company with John W. Boyd (Tipton County) and Thomas A. Sykes (Davidson County) were the first African Americans elected after the end of Sampson Keeble's term in 1874, and they focused much of their legislative energy on trying to overturn Tennessee's first Jim Crow law, Chapter 130 of the Acts of 1875. This bill, which permitted discrimination in railroad travel and admission to public events, had been enacted during the first House session after Keeble left office, and it foreshadowed the voting restrictions that would be become law in 1889 and 1890 after the last African American legislators of the century ended their terms in office.
In the 1882 election the Democratic Party made a concerted effort to pilfer black votes from the Republicans, placing black candidates on their own ballots for the first time. Among the African Americans convinced to join the Democratic fusionist slate, which supported General William Brimage Bate (1826-1905) as their candidate for governor, were legislative candidates Isham F. Norris (referred to throughout the election period as I. F. Norris) and William F. Price, a Bartlett farmer. The Democratic press praised the two as "men of fine practical sense and good judgment," unsullied by "personal political ambitions," and well able to represent both the interests of their white constituents and "the wants of the 35,000 colored people in Shelby County." However, the Nashville Banner called Price and Norris "unprincipled Republican Negro characters" who could not speak for the "respectable, honest, fair-minded colored man in the state" because they were "too disreputable to do the dirty work of the Republican administration." As it turned out, many white Democrats were unwilling to vote for a black candidate, however reputable or disreputable he might be. Tennessee Democrats under Bate won a resounding victory, as did other Democrats across the county. New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Indiana, Michigan, and Kansas went Democratic, many of these states for the first time in their history. Every Democratic candidate on the Shelby County Democratic ticket won handily . . . except for Norris and Price, who were decisively defeated. Ironically, Leon Howard, one of the two blacks who had remained on the Republican ticket, was the only African American from Shelby County elected to the Tennessee General Assembly that term. He would join John W. Boyd (Tipton County, in his second term), Samuel A. McElwee (Haywood County, in his first of three terms), and David Rivers (Fayette County).
There were no entries for Isham Norris in the Memphis city directories after 1892. We learn from census records that he moved his family to Oklahoma for a few years, and later to Seattle, Washington. Two of his children were born in Oklahoma (Carl, in August 1897, and Claudius, in August 1899), so we know that the family left Memphis between 1892 and 1897.
It was census records that finally began to provide insights into Norris family life. In the 1900 census the family was living on a farm, which they owned mortgage-free, in Rock Township in Payne County, Oklahoma; Norris (48) listed his occupation as "farmer." By 1900 he had been married to Stella R. (née Stella Rosa Butler) for 13 years. Stella (33) was born November 1866 in Mississippi and by 1900 had given birth to four children, all still living. She reported that her father was born in Germany and her mother in Mississippi. Although all the children were still quite young, the two older boys, both born in Tennessee, were employed as farm laborers: Ira Franklin (12), born November 17, 1887, and Percy Fernandis (10), born July 15, 1889. The other two boys, both born after the move to Oklahoma, were still babies: Carl Love (2), born August 13, 1897, and little Claudius Daniel (10 months), born August 11, 1899.
By 1910 we find that the Norris family had made the surprising decision to move to Seattle. Other Norris families lived nearby, according to census records, so it was possible Isham's family was joining relatives in the Northwest. Norris (59) owned a transfer (trucking) business and had already paid off the mortgage on their house at 535 Federal Avenue, so he was obviously making a comfortable income. Stella (40) reported at the time that her father had been born in the United States but did not provide specifics. Ira (22) and Percy (20) were working as an auto repairman and a transfer driver, respectively. Carl (12) and Claudius (10) were in school, and the fifth Norris son, Wendell Bryant was a year and a half old, born October 29, 1908, after the family's move to Washington. Also living with the family at that time was a niece, Ellen Harris, age 13, a Tennessee native.
The World War I registration cards of all the Norris sons except Wendell (who was only ten years old in 1918) provided some interesting information regarding employment and physical description. The three oldest sons were all working in the transfer business. Ira (30), who said he was self-employed, was tall and of medium build, with dark eyes and black hair; Percy (27), a chauffeur with the Southern Transfer Company, was tall and slender with hazel eyes and black hair; the registration card for Carl (21), who was working for I. F. Norris Jr. at the same address as the Southern Transfer Company, listed no physical details except for blue eyes and dark hair; and young Claudius (19) was still a student at Broadway High School. He named his mother as his nearest relative and was described as tall and stout with dark hair and eyes.
Two years later, as recorded in the 1920 census, Isham Norris (68) was working as a stockman for the Black Mfg. Co., a remarkable enterprise founded in 1914 by George G. Black to manufacture Black Bear overalls. "Concerned for the health and welfare of his employees," (HistoryLink.org) he rejected the all-too-familiar sweatshop conditions of the garment industry and hired Andrew Willatzen (1876-1974), a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, to design a building that would be functional, attractive, and employee-friendly. (It featured large windows and skylights, a roof garden, and a cafeteria that sold food at cost to the workers. In 1987 the city council designated the building a "Seattle Landmark.") It must have been a very comfortable place for Norris to work in his later years. Stella (60) still had three sons to feed: Carl (22) and Claudius (20) were both truck drivers for the transfer company and lived at home; Wendell (11) was still in school. Ira F. (32), the oldest Norris son, was working for an auto transfer firm in Seattle; his wife Octavia was a stenographer with the same company.
The 1930 census showed Stella, widowed by that time, appearing in two separate households: she was listed in Percy's household, and also in Carl and Wendell's, who were sharing a house. Carl and Claudius were Seattle policemen; Wendell and Percy were longshoremen. (Ira's name did not appear in that census.) Stella Rosa Butler Norris died in Seattle on June 10, 1946, almost 30 years after her husband. She was 73 years old. Her death record names her father as Samuel Levy, but gives only the surname Butler for her mother.
According to Washington state death records, Isham F. Norris died in Seattle on September 23, 1928, at the age of 74 years, 11 months, and 8 days. Having moved far away from the crushing effects of Southern Jim Crow laws, he and his family seem to have lived busy and productive lives in the American Northwest.

JAY–North Country improved on their last performance against Stowe, adding an additional goal to their total, as they handed the Raider girls a 3-0 loss on Wednesday evening.
"I thought the first period was good as we set the pace. The second period, between all the penalties for both teams, I thought we never got into a rhythm, and in the third I thought we picked it back up," said NCU coach Claude Paul.
This is the second consecutive win over a team called the Raiders for North Country, as they disposed of the Rutland Red Raiders by an identical 3-0 score on Saturday.
North Country Girl's hockey team beats Stowe 3-0 while the boys tie Spaulding 3-3. UCA boys hoops fall short against Richford, plus results from the Crusader girls game in Friday's Express.
Follow Sports Editor Mike Olmstead on Twitter on your smart phone or online at @nekdrums for in-game updates.
NEWPORT–A much better looking North Country girls basketball team took to the court on Tuesday night to square off against the BFA Comets. Although they did not get the win, dropping the contest 57-45, it was a greatly improved showing from last week's match with CVU.
"I am really proud of the fight that the girls showed," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "It is not like we are two fighters in the ring, but when someone throws that first punch, are you going to lay down or are you going to get up and say is that your best shot, and the girls stood up and I am proud of them."
North Country's girls played a much improved game against BFA St. Albans, but fell short in their goal, losing 57-45.
Also, the Lake Region boys defeated Peoples Academy 62-48. Now the question remains, who can stop them?
Details of the games in the next issue of the Newport Daily Express.
CABOT–The UCA Girls picked up their fourth win of the season while the Crusader boys loss their third of the year as the two teams earned a split on Monday evening.
For the girls, it was a well-rounded effort, utilizing their triangle and two defense to shut down the Cabot bigs while getting offense from multiple players in their 39-38 win.
"Our play movement was the best it has been all year and the balance of scoring was nice to see," said coach Molly Smith.
Laura Libby had ten points while Christina Maxwell and Olivia Foster each had nine.
ORLEANS–Fans in Ranger Country were treated to arguably the best basketball game that the Lake Region girls have played this season as the Lady Rangers defeated the top-seeded, undefeated BFA Fairfax Bullets 48-43 on Monday night.
"We played great," said coach Mark Tinker. "We got contributions from a lot of players, rotating in a lot of kids, and I thought everybody made significant contributions."
The team has been trending upwards since their game against Enosburg, something the coach expanded on after the game.
JAY-North Country was without two key forwards when they hit the ice on Saturday morning to take on the Rutland Red Raiders, but coach Claude Paul made the necessary adjustments, and the Falcon girls came away with the 3-0 win to improve to 9-3-1 this season.
"I thought we played a disciplined, defensive game... after the first," said coach Paul after the game. "I liked the way the D played and I liked the way we were moving the puck up the ice quickly."
JAY-Kody Halikas had three goals and an assist and Ryan O'Donnell returned from his two game suspension to score his first career varsity goal as the North Country boys dispensed with the Stowe Raiders 7-1 to conclude an excellent afternoon of Falcon hockey on Saturday.
"I think we moved the puck around well and some guys buried the pucks when they had the opportunity to do so," said coach Andrew Roy.
Chase LaCourse and Chris Bronson combined to stop fifteen shots for the Falcons. Dylan Whitaker was a very busy man in this game, blocking thirty out of thirty seven shots for Stowe.
WINDSOR–The Lake Region girls defeated Burr and Burton Academy on Saturday afternoon to improve to 8-2 on the season.
"Our team defense showed improvement with better rotations and strong help D," said coach Mark Tinker. "With the better defense we were able to hold them to just twenty-two percent shooting for the game."
This is the third win in a row for Lake Region.
After defeating Lyndon Institute a week ago, they had a fine comeback win over Enosburg on Thursday evening at the Don Harter Memorial Gym.
There is no two ways about, the Champlain Valley girls basketball team is a force to be reckoned with.
Coming into Friday's game with North Country, their record stood at 9-0.
Heading out of the Falcon gym it was 10-0, as they handed North Country a 63-22 loss to improve on their already impressive record.
Sadie Otley, on the strength of her four three's, led all scorers with sixteen points.
Desiree Coffin and Hollie Smith each had a team-high four points as the Falcons dip below .500 at 4-5.
Tuesday will see the NCU host BFA St. Albans with tip-off scheduled for 6:30.

Canyon Fuel Co. has received clearance from the Mine Safety and Health Administration to re-enter the Dugout Canyon Mine to install a special air monitoring system.
The mine has been closed since June 22 because evidence showed a "heating incident" at the mine. There have been no visible flames, but air quality measurements indicated a small increase in levels of gases produced as coal begins to heat up.
The company voluntarily evacuated the mine and MSHA then issued a closure order.
"While we are focused on resuming operations at the earliest possible time, our first priority is to insure the safety of the miners," said Gene DiClaudio, President of Arch Western Bituminous Group, owner of Canyon Fuel.
Meanwhile, miners at Dugout Canyon have been offered the opportunity to relocate temporarily to other Canyon Fuel mines in Utah and Colorado, according to Arch Coal spokeswoman Kim Link. Canyon Fuel operates the Skyline and Sufco mines in Utah and the West Elk mine in Colorado.
She said that the company is not yet able to fix a timeline for corrective action and eventual reopening, but hopes to have one in the near future.The company will continue to work closely with MSHA and state mining agencies to resolve the situation.
This is the second closure of the mine for heating incidents this year. On April 29, the mine was idled for about three weeks while it sealed off the affected area.
The mine has 275 employees and produced about 200,000 tons of coal during the first quarter of this year.

Born 100 years ago today, Jimmy Hoffa achieved fame as a labor leader, serving as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for more than a dozen years. But "fame" doesn't quite describe his legacy – maybe the right word is something more like "notoriety."
Hoffa was accused of being involved with organized crime. He was imprisoned for jury tampering, attempted bribery and fraud. He was pardoned by President Richard Nixon when he was just a third of the way through his 13-year sentence. And, most famously – or most notoriously – he utterly disappeared from the face of the earth on July 30, 1975. Last seen in the parking lot of a Detroit-area restaurant, Hoffa stayed gone and was officially declared dead on the seventh anniversary of his disappearance.
For nearly 40 years since that disappearance, everyone from Detroit-area police to the FBI to countless average-Joe conspiracy theorists has been trying to find Jimmy Hoffa and lay his mystery to rest. Even now, as recently as a few weeks ago, tips continue to surface, leading authorities to search new sites for evidence of Hoffa or his remains.
The most recent Hoffa tip, regarding a field 20 miles outside Detroit, dropped in January 2013. A former crime boss insists that Hoffa's remains can be found in rural Oakland County – though the tipster claims he's just sharing information, not responsible for Hoffa's death.
If previous tips are anything to go on, the authorities will turn up nothing but more disappointment. Another sure-thing tip from four months ago led police to suburban Roseville, Michigan, where Hoffa was said to be buried under a driveway. But extensive testing hasn't yielded any results.
According to Hoffa's former driver, the labor leader won't be found by digging. He's sure his one-time boss is encased in the concrete of the Renaissance Center in Detroit.
For years, folks have been claiming to know what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, and they're likely to continue to do so. But each tip ends in another wild goose chase, and Hoffa is still nowhere to be found. For the 100th anniversary of his birth, we offer a wish that the mystery of his disappearance will be solved and his family (and the authorities) will, at last, find closure.

For your best buddy, boyfriend, or husband, this month means March Madness, the college basketball tournament that turns every sports lover we know into a bracket-obsessed junkie; for the Irish (and a whole lot of non-Irish), it means an excuse to wear green and drink colored beer; for the sartorially-informed, however, this month ushers in a plethora of exciting fashion collaborations and other worthy obsessions. From the on-trend clothes we can't wait to snag to the photography compilation we eagerly anticipate poring through, check out our picks for March's WWW Hearts!
Pierre Balmain Collection
If you've ever lusted after Balmain's rock 'n' roll clothes-with (sigh) rockstar price tags to match-you and your wallet will love the label's lower-priced diffusion line, Pierre Balmain. The new collection is full of cool, affordable options for the downtown girl; relaxed separates like a Printed Chiffon Dress ($555, 310.360.8008) in Black/White, Printed Silk Shorts ($193) in Black/White, and Solid Blazer ($855, 323.651.3662) in Black still capture the French house's edgy, street-inspired look, but with a slightly more minimalistic vibe.
China Glaze Capital Colours ($7 each) in Agro, Stone Cold, and Foie Gras
Though The Hunger Games isn't released until March 23rd, we've already re-read the entire trilogy and purchased advance tickets! To further stoke the flames of our fervor, China Glaze has released a nail polish collection inspired by the long-anticipated movie. It's hard to choose from 12 such pretty, wearable hues, like Agro (glossy moss green), Stone Cold (shimmery slate), and Foie Gras (dark, creamy taupe), so whichever shade you decide upon, may the odds be ever in your favor!
Kati Nescher
You may recognize Kati Nescher's gorgeous mug from New York Fashion Week, where she walked in an astounding 24 shows for F/W 12, or from Louis Vuitton's pastel-saturated Spring 12 campaign. The Russian-born, German-raised stunner is undoubtedly the model of the moment, a distinction made even more exceptional since, at 27-years-old, she's nearly a decade older than the rest of her peers. It's safe to say we've got a major girl crush on Nescher, who balances modeling with mothering a 2-year-old son, and whose famous cheekbones and long legs will likely see many more runways.
ALDO RISE x Preen Giffee Printed Heeled Sandals ($155, available in Aldo stores nationwide March 8th)
It's a no-fail equation, really. Mix one affordable shoe brand (Aldo) with a brilliant design duo (Preen's Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi), and you're bound to get results like these fashion-forward heels. We're smitten with Preen Aldo's peep-toe mules; the unique, colorful print is perfect for pairing with all our spring ensembles.
Marni for H&M Collection
If you're enamored with Marni's quirky prints and playful color combos, as we are, you likely already know all about the label's collaboration with H&M. On March 8th, the day the coveted collection hits stores, we'll be first in line to nab the chic, affordable accessories-like the Earrings ($20), Necklace ($40), and 2-Pack Bracelets ($30)-as well as clothes stamped with Marni's trademark eclecticism at H&M prices!
Lillian Bassman: Lingerie ($20)
Nothing captivates our fancy quite like vintage photographs, so this hardcover filled with 80 black-and-white images shot by fashion photog Lillian Bassman is right on the money. It's quite likely that the renowned Bassman ranks as one of your favorite photographer's favorite photographers; her pictures of women in lingerie, supermodels with whom she worked in the '50s and '60s, ooze sensuous and feminine allure. Though she recently passed away at age 94, her legacy lives on in this beautiful page-turner. We couldn't stop flipping through this tome, and neither will you.-Tiffany Tse

Dan Sanchez wrote a column a day or two ago. Great read
I woke up this morning to find the article I'd been hoping to avoid for some time now.
In his guest column for Baseball Prospectus, The Agony of Rational Rooting, Nick Piecoro gives voice to a nagging feeling he's had – that, despite how enjoyable it may be to see a struggling team's fanbase re-energized, the Baltimore Orioles' 2012 season doesn't seem earned.
I've been fearing this article not because I thought it would anger me, but because I knew it would force me to confront the same unconscious debate I've been having with myself.
On this website I've discussed the role of randomness in baseball in a column called "O Fortuna." In it, I've analyzed small sample sizes, the unsustainable trends that result from them, and the expected regression to the mean. It's a topic that's long been a favorite of those interested in objective analysis of the game.
My purpose in writing the column was neither to castigate nor praise teams benefiting from unsustainable trends, but to acknowledge what a large role randomness plays in the game. The conclusion was always that unsustainable trends should tend to buck over time, but the truth is, sometimes they don't. Not for a while, at least.

Scouting No. 20 Creighton
Creighton is 5-0 on the young season, with victories over Alcorn State (107-61), UMKC (96-70), Saint Joseph's (83-79), Tulsa (82-72) and Arizona State (88-60) to open the year.
The Bluejays returned 11 lettermen and four starters from last year's 28-8 team that reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive season.
Senior Doug McDermott (27.4 ppg., 7.6 rpg., 44.4 3FG%) has 137 points in 147 minutes this winter and is the nation's only returning consensus First Team All-American, as well as the nation's leading returning scorer. He's led the Jays in scoring and rebounding each of the past three seasons, and named Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year by league coaches.
The other three returning starters include guards Grant Gibbs (5.0 ppg., 4.8 apg.), Jahenns Manigat (7.0 ppg.) and Austin Chatman (9.8 ppg., 5.4 apg., 4.2 rpg.). Gibbs led the MVC in assists each of the last two years and was awarded a sixth year of eligibility in early July. Devin Brooks (12.2 ppg.) has given CU a spark off the bench, as well.
Junior center Will Artino (6.8 ppg., 4.0 rpg.) and reigning MVC Sixth Man of the Year Ethan Wragge (10.2 ppg., 53.3 3FG%) will see time on the front line to help replace starting center Gregory Echenique (9.7 ppg., 6.6 rpg., 1.7 bpg.).
Creighton was picked to finish third in the 10-team BIG EAST Conference this winter.
The Coach
Greg McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his fourth season as head coach at Creighton. He led CU to a 28-8 mark last year, and is now 85-30 with the Bluejays. McDermott has previously been a head coach at Iowa State (2006-10), Northern Iowa (2001-06), North Dakota State (2000-01) and Wayne State (1994-2000). He owns a career mark of 364-225 in his 20th season and is 233-161 in his 13th Division I campaign. McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz and Patrick Sellers.
Last Game Recap
Doug McDermott had 27 points and Devin Brooks had 23 off the bench as Creighton routed previously unbeaten Arizona State, 88-60, on Thursday.
The Series With San Diego State
Creighton owns a 4-1 lead in the all-time series with San Diego State, though the teams have never met on a neutral floor.
A victory that many point to as the breakthrough win in the Greg McDermott era was a Nov. 30, 2011 win at San Diego State. In that contest, Creighton trailed by 17 early, only to rally and win at hostile Viejas Arena, 85-83.
Doug McDermott led Creighton with 25 points and 12 rebounds, while Ethan Wragge added 19 points.
Brooks Gets It Done
Junior college transfer Devin Brooks made a huge impact in Creighton's 88-60 win over Arizona State on Thursday.
Brooks had 20 points in his first 10 minutes on the floor before finishing with 23 points in 19 minutes overall. The 23 points were the most in any game by a Bluejay reserve since Cavel Witter had 25 points on Nov. 22, 2008 vs. Oral Roberts.
Brooks sank 9-of-11 shots from the floor and was perfect in four attempts from long-range after entering the evening 0-for-2 from downtown in his Bluejay career.
In two games away from home as a Bluejay, Brooks owns 39 points in 40 minutes.
Offense vs. Defense?
Creighton enters Friday's game averaging 91.2 points per game, a figure that ranks eighth-most nationally. CU is also seventh nationally with 1.23 points per possession
San Diego State, on the other hand, allows an average of just 50.8 points per game, the second-best mark nationally.
Bench Points
Just how diverse is the Creighton offense? Two of its top three scorers come off the bench, as Devin Brooks (12.2 ppg.) and Ethan Wragge (10.2 ppg.) lead a brigade that has averaged 35.2 points per contest.
Both Wragge and Brooks own games of 20 points or more this season in a reserve role, and the duo is a combined 20-for-36 (55.6 percent) from three-point range.
Creighton's bench has scored 34 points or more in all but one game this season.
Bullet Points From Thursday
-Creighton has now made a three-pointer in 650 straight games after doing so in the first three minutes on Thursday. The streak dates back to February of 1993.
-Creighton's 88 points last night were 10 more than any team scored in any Wooden Legacy contest a year ago.
-Greg McDermott improved to 21-3 in November games since arriving at Creighton, and is now 13-4 in neutral-site games on the Bluejay sideline.
-Doug McDermott has now scored 20 points or more in seven straight games dating to last year, and in 61 of 115 career contests.
McDermott is Creighton's first player to start the year with five straight games of 20+ points since Bob Portman in 1968-69.
-Doug McDermott is one of six players nationalloy with 20 or more points in every game this season. Joining him in that elite company is Reger Dowell (Texas-Arlington), Jabari Parker (Duke), Antoine Mason (Niagara), Dylon Cormier (Loyola Md.) and George Beamon (Manhattan).
-Creighton outscored Arizona State 38-18 in the 11:55 when both Doug McDermott and Ethan Wragge were on the floor last night.
-Creighton is now 12-2 on neutral floors in the past two seasons.
-Creighton is one of three teams that have scored 40 points or more in every half this season, joining North Dakota and Oklahoma State.
San Diego State has yet to allow 40 points in any half this season, and held two different teams to 41 points total for a game.
-Creighton is one of six teams nationally with 82 points or more in every game this year. Joining Creighton is Oklahoma State, Gonzaga, North Dakota, North Carolina and Boise State.
-Isaiah Zierden had one of Creighton's biggest baskets of the night when he had a four-point play late in the firs thalf vs. Arizona State. It was the fourth four-point play in four seasons under Greg McDermott.
-Creighton is off to a 5-0 start, and the Bluejays have had at least one five-game win streak in 15 of the last 16 seasons.
Since 1988-89, the Bluejays have made the NCAA's, NIT or CBI all 18 previous times they've had a five-game winning streak in a season, but missed the NCAA/NIT/CBI all seven times they haven't.
Two Years Ago, At Viejas
Creighton overcame an early 31-14 deficit at one of the nation's most intimidating venues to defeat San Diego State, 85-83, on Nov. 30, 2011, the last time these teams met.
The game was tied at 69-all with 3:59 left. Creighton would score each of its final eight possessions, winning by two.
Creighton was 28-16 under Greg McDermott prior to that game, and is 57-14 since taking the floor that memorable night in San Diego.
Shooting For A Record
Creighton alum Kyle Korver could tie an NBA record if he makes a three-point basket tonight against Dallas.
Korver enters the evening with a three-pointer in 88 straight games, one shy of Dana Barros' league-record of 89.
Korver played at Creighton from 1999-2003 and owns the school record with 371 career three-pointers, helping the Bluejays to a 29-5 mark as a senior.

The Ogdensburg City School administration will increase from eight to nine members next year as part of the reorganizational plan proposed by Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey.
Previously Mr. Vernsey said the administration would not be increasing following the retirement of Assistant Superintendent and Committee on Special Education Chair David J. Valois this summer.
But at Mondays Board of Education meeting, Mr. Vernsey acknowledged the administration will indeed be expanding next year as Athletic Director Anthony Bjork joins as assistant high school principal. Mr. Bjork will continue acting as the districts athletic director, overseeing upwards of 50 coaches, Mr. Vernsey said.
Questions over the exact nature of the restructuring within the administration arose when Education Association President David G. Price criticized Mr. Vernseys assertion that the administration will remain the same size.
Mr. Vernsey said the difference in understanding reflected a schism between the interpretations of what Mr. Bjorks job is today.
[Mr. Bjork] is essentially an administrator already, Mr. Vernsey said. From my perspective weve had nine [administrators] and we will continue to have nine next year.
Mr. Bjork has been a teacher on special assignment while serving as the districts athletic director, making him part of the teachers union. With his new position he will join the districts administrative union.
Mr. Price said the administration is raiding the teachers union to beef up their own, adding that, by his count, the district hasnt lost any administrators to budget cuts in the last five years while 33 teaching positions have been cut.
Over the last several years weve had a lot of discussion in this chamber about tightening the belt, he said, adding that he would like to see more equity between the teachers and administrators as far as who is shouldering the burden of budget cuts.
Defending the proposed changes to the administration, Mr. Vernsey said the plan will save $137,000, largely due to the fact that Mr. Valois, who makes $116,000 a year, wont have to be paid anymore. Savings will also come from the retirement of an elementary school teacher who will not be replaced, saving $97,000, as well as the elimination of the instructional technology coaching position, saving $51,000, Mr. Vernsey said.
The plan will also see middle school Principal Kevin Kendall becoming the director of curriculum, instruction and assessment and Madill Elementary School Principal Debora Hannan becoming the director of the districts special education program. Previously Mr. Valois preformed both of these jobs.
There are many administrative mandates that have to be performed and we need people to do them, Mr. Vernsey said. In particular he noted the new common core curriculum and teacher and principal evaluations are time consuming and warrant the extra hands on deck. I think were being good; were trying to be efficient.
If I thought that we could cut another position in the administration, Id do it in a heartbeat, Mr. Vernsey said.
But Mr. Price said he doesnt see where the savings will come from. As Mr. Kendall and Mrs. Hannan move up in the administration they will also become full year employees of the district, requiring an increase in their salary, Mr. Price said.
You cant save money by paying someone more, Mr. Price said.
Instead Mr. Price believes the savings are largely coming from the retirement of the elementary school teacher instructional technology coaching position, while the savings from Mr. Valois retirement will be consumed with the new salaries.
The restructuring will see Cynthia Tuttle remain as high school principal with Mr. Bjork replacing Pamela Luckie as assistant principal. Mrs. Luckie will replace Mr. Kendall as middle school principal and Paula Scott, the principal at Lincoln and Sherman Elementary Schools, will become the principal at Madill as Mrs. Hannan moves to supervise special education.
Susan Jacobs will remain as principal of Kennedy Elementary School and the district will hire an assistant principle based at Kennedy.

Drug Interaction Study Between Lumefantrine and Lopinavir/Ritonavir
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
With the roll out of antiretroviral therapy (ARV) for HIV across sub-Saharan Africa an unprecedented number of people will be commencing lifelong therapy. Current estimates are that 5-6 million people in sub-Saharan Africa require ART. At the same time, the World Health Organization (WHO) Roll Back Malaria campaign is aggressively promoting the use of artemether/lumefantrine as first-line therapy for malaria in this setting. Many patients in this setting have already become resistant to first-line ARV and have moved onto lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) based second-line regimens. Kaletra is a potent inhibitor of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4), an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many drugs which is found predominantly in the liver and the gut. Lumefantrine, and to a lesser extent artemether, is extensively metabolized by CYP 3A4. Therefore when given to a patient already taking Kaletra for HIV, it is likely that elevated levels of these drugs in the patient will result. There is some concern that lumefantrine may be cardiotoxic due to its structural similarity to halofantrine which is known to cause irregular heart rhythms. This has not been borne out as yet in any studies performed with lumefantrine, however it is not known what levels will be achieved in patients when it is administered with a protease inhibitor such as Kaletra. The WHO has not addressed this issue in any of its previous policy documents but has identified ARV-antimalarial drug interaction studies as a research priority. This single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study aims to compare the levels of lumefantrine/artemether that result when it is given to a patient on Kaletra with patients not on any ARV. Data generated by this study will help address this important knowledge gap which has been identified by WHO and others as meriting urgent investigation.

By TAMMY VALDEZSpringville
My coal mining experience is quite insignificant but the lessons I learned in four short years over 20 years ago were anything but insignificant.
When I worked underground women were just beginning to work in the mines and it was a very controversial time but we all (young men and women just starting in the industry) had people looking out for us that would risk their careers to make sure we were safe. Those people were the men we called the "old timers".
They had been in the mines for years and most worked somewhere other than the face but they visited us often and gave us constant advice whether we wanted it or not (bless their souls). Often it was advice that the operators or supervisors weren't fond of because it was how to stay safe and often entailed slowing down production to make sure no lives were risked. Yes, it was a union mine and whenever the operator or supervisors wouldn't allow miners to back up or slow down to prevent risking lives - we walked out and it was the "Old Timers" who led us and then the union who preserved our job.
Some people (mostly mine operators and supervisors but some of their peers as well) felt like the "old timers" were just trouble makers. They were accused of just trying to find a way to get out of work and using the union to disrupt the business and so on and so forth. Back then it seemed the union men and women were strong enough to stand up under that criticism but eventually that began to change.
Then Mr. Reagan became our president and all unions were looked upon with scrutiny and criticized for just trying to disrupt business and cost a lot of money. People started to change their ideas about the importance of the union. All the men who died before us and the struggle so many went through to protect us was forgotten. Mines were shutting down and jobs were harder to find. There were contract miners willing to work for lower wages and mine operators hiring young inexperienced miners rather than miners more in the "old timer" category. A lot of men with years of mining experience (the know how to keep people alive) couldn't find a job and were made to feel like they had done something very wrong.
It's been interesting to see the media interviewing people, in the past few days, and they ask to be anonymous. Does that raise any red flags for anyone besides me? You start talking and word gets around and pretty soon it's real hard for you to find a job in the mine even though you have loads of experience. To be fair, in the last 20 years mine operators had to find cheaper ways to mine coal in order to stay competitive and survive. We all know this. But the problem is the cheaper route can lead to loss of safety and loss of lives and finding the cheaper route coupled with inexperience guarantees the loss of lives.
I've watched the drama unfold on the news regarding the six miners trapped and now three rescuers killed at the mine in Huntington with a very heavy heart.
I really miss the "old timers" who would have told everyone that it was going to happen long before anyone lost their life over it. They, like me, are probably wondering what the hell a "bump"? is? We experienced a lot of "bounces" and that was always associated with open country in the pillar sections. So is this mine in Huntington surrounded by old workings with too surrounded by old workings with too much "open country?"
One thing that never changes is the fact that if you are a miner (or ever was) every miner on this earth, union or non-union, mine operator, supervisor, or an inspector from MSHA, is your brother or sister and their life is worth any amount of money, or the risk of any ones career, to see that that life is protected.
The loss of their life must not be dismissed as "a very dangerous business" and then we move on because it can and has been done safely in the past.
