Drought conditions across Utah have affected fishing this year, but anglers who are adapting to the changed conditions are finding good success.
"The lack of water has or will effect fishing at waters across Utah, from streams and rivers to some of the bigger waters," stated Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Anglers who are adapting to these changed conditions are still finding good success however, while enjoying the peace and solitude that's always available when going fishing."
Pettengill provides the following advice to anglers fishing rivers and streams, low and mid-elevation waters and the biggest reservoirs in the state.
Early summer is usually one of the most difficult and least productive times to fish Utah's rivers and streams, but the drought has changed that. "There is usually high runoff into early to mid-July, but that isn't the case this year," Pettengill explained. "Conditions are perfect for fishing at most of the state's rivers and streams and anglers who are getting out now are finding good success."
As water levels decrease later this summer, fish in rivers and streams will become more wary and will be harder for anglers to catch. "Don't miss out on the action," Pettengill stressed. "Get out and fish the rivers and streams now."
Many of Utah's low and mid-elevation waters may drop to low levels this year, but anglers who fish them before that happens should be in for a fun time. "How low these waters drop depends a lot on how much rain falls this summer," Pettengill said. "These waters may not drop that low if the state receives some good rainfall but if not, there will be some very low levels at waters across the state."
Pettengill says dropping waters levels can provide advantages to anglers who keep an eye on what's happening. "Before they get real low, fishing may be super because the fish will be concentrated and the water quality will still be good, so the fish will be in good health and they'll be feeding actively," he explained.
"Anglers who fish these waters at the right time should be in for some fun fishing."
Anglers who miss that window will find slower fishing as low water causes water temperatures to climb and the fish become stressed and stop feeding. While waiting for these waters to drop, shoreline anglers may want to consider fishing waters at higher elevations.
"Trout have already started to pull away from shoreline areas at our low and mid-elevation waters, so now's the time for shore anglers to head to higher elevation waters," Pettengill advises. "Focus on fishing in the early morning and just before sundown, when trout come back into the shoreline areas to feed."
Pettengill defines a high elevation water as any water above 6,500 feet in elevation.
Even the state's larger reservoirs may be effected by the drought, but Pettengill has advice for finding and catching fish at these waterways.
"The changing water depths may cause fish to move to areas in the reservoirs where anglers aren't accustomed to finding them," Pettengill stated.
"An area that has produced real well in the past may not produce very well this year. Anglers who find this happening need to move to new areas until they find the fish," he explained. "They also may need to change their techniques until they find some that work."
Anglers are reminded that fishing conditions for waters across Utah are updated weekly on the fishing portion of the DWR website at www.wildlife.utah.gov. Reports are usually updated by Friday each week. Reports will also be posted weekly in the Sun Advocate throughout the summer.
"Remember, too, that any day spent fishing is better than a day at work," Pettengill says. "I hope anglers will get out and enjoy the wide variety of fishing opportunities that Utah provides, even in a drought year."

Animals Lesson Plan: Diversity of Life
In this animals lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-12, students explore various types of animals and their classification. Students then create a collaborative BrainPOP-based lesson to teach other students about the diversity of life through a selected animal or animal characteristic.
And check out some of our related movies, like Bats, Cats, Birds, Dinosaurs, and Dolly the Sheep!
Lesson Plan Common Core State Standards Alignments
Students will:
- Explore various types of animals and their classification.
- Create a collaborative BrainPOP-based lesson to teach other students about a selected animal or animal characteristic.
- Access to the Internet and BrainPOP
Preparation:This lesson can be used in several ways: throughout a unit on life science, at the beginning of the unit to pique student interest, or at the end as a culminating activity. Students should be very familiar with the basic format of BrainPOP resources such as the quiz, FYI, and activities.
Lesson Procedure:
- Introduce the unit by showing the FYI Comic from the Vertebrates movie. Ask students to identify the vocabulary terms for animals with and without backbones.
- Set a timer for 60 seconds and have students individually or cooperatively brainstorm a list of as many vertebrates they can name. Repeat the activity with invertebrates.
- Ask students which activity was easier, and why. Which animals do they know more about? Which animals would they like to know more about?
- Explain that students will be working with a group to become experts on a particular aspect of the diversity of life on planet Earth, and that afterward, they will share their knowledge with the class. Show the complete list of BrainPOP movies in the Diversity of Life Unit. Allow students to choose their groups based on interest.
- Each group should plan a BrainPOP-based lesson to teach the class about their selected animal or animal characteristic. They may want to open their lesson with an FYI feature, then show the related movie. This might be followed by leading the class through the quiz and discussing its answers, or the completion of one of the activities. Students may want to use additional resources from the BrainPOP Jr. Animals Unit to simplify the topic, or add more in-depth information using additional movie topics from the BrainPOP Ecology and Behavior unit.
- Have students write their lesson plan as a group. Meet with each group separately to discuss their ideas.
- Allow students to teach their BrainPOP lessons to the rest of the class.
- Have students participate in creating the final assessment for the unit. Each group should create 2-5 test questions about their selected animal to be included on the class test.

Investment firm TPG-Axon Capital is optimistic about the future of SandRidge Energy Inc. and its oily asset base.
But not with the company's current management team at the helm.
Investment firm TPG-Axon Capital is optimistic about the future of SandRidge Energy Inc. and its oily asset base.
But not with the company's current management team at the helm.
TPG-Axon, one of SandRidge's largest shareholders, is seeking to replace CEO Tom Ward and some of the company's board members.
The firm, which owns more than 4.5 percent of SandRidge's outstanding stock, contends the market has lost confidence in the company's management, as evidenced by its 76 percent decline since its initial public offering in 2007. SandRidge's stock also has dropped more than 91 percent since its peak in 2008.
"Although we are enthusiastic about the value potential in SandRidge, we have grown increasingly concerned about the ability of this management team, or of the board of directors to protect shareholder interests," TPG-Axon CEO Dinakar Singh wrote Thursday in a letter to SandRidge's board.
TPG-Axon maintains SandRidge stock should be valued at $12 to $14 a share. It closed Thursday at $6.10, up a dime. More than 40 million shares changes hands, nearly four times its average volume.
Ward declined to comment on the letter Thursday, but SandRidge issued a statement in response.
"The board and management value the opinions of our shareholders and are always open to constructive engagement with them," the company said. "While our perspectives on various points made in the letter from TPG-Axon differ in many instances, we agree that SandRidge has valuable assets and that we need to focus on improving performance for shareholders.
"The board continues to actively work with management in taking steps to improve shareholder performance."
Shareholder complaints
RBC Capital Markets analyst Scott Hanold said activist investors have forced positive changes at other oil and natural gas companies over the past year, but a "complete management overhaul may prove difficult."

By LISA CHURCHMoab Times Independent editor
On June 10, federal authorities charged 19 people with the theft of cultural and historical artifacts from American Indian lands and federal properties in the Four Corners area of southeastern Utah.
The defendants included a Moab man and and 18 people from Monticello or Blanding.
The charges stem from the alleged theft of more than 250 artifacts, according to the United States Interior Department.
The artifacts included decorated pottery, burial and ceremonial masks, a buffalo headdress and sandals known to be associated with ancient burials, according to information provided by the federal agency.
Details of the indictments were announced during the news conference in Salt Lake City.
The conference was attended by multiple officials, including U.S. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, Indian affairs representatives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Federal officials said the charges are the culmination of a two-year undercover investigation into the purported theft and sale of artifacts by an organized ring of looters based in southeastern Utah.
According to the Interior Department, 12 indictments covering 24 defendants were handed down by a Salt Lake City grand jury.
Arrest warrants were issued for 23 defendants and a summons was issued for the one remaining subject.
Arraignments were conducted throughout the day in a courtroom in Grand County before U.S. Magistrate Samuel Alba.
Those charged under the indictments were: Loran St. Clair, 47, Monticello; Rulon Kody Sommerville, 47, Monticello; Kevin W. Shumway, 55, Blanding; Sharon Evette Shumway, 41, Blanding; David A. Lacy, 55, Blanding; Aubry Patterson, 55, Blanding; Dale J. Lyman, 73, Blanding; Jeanne Redd, 59, Blanding; James D. Redd, 60, Blanding; Raymond J. Lyman, 70, Blanding; Vern Crites, 74, Durango, Colo.; Marie Crites, 68, Durango, Colo.; Steven Schrader, 56, Durango, Colo.; Tammy Shumway, 39, Blanding; Joseph Smith, 31, Blanding; Meredith Smith, 34, Blanding; Harold Lyman, 78, Blanding; Nick Laws, 30, Blanding; Reese Laws, 27, Blanding; Tad Kreth, 30, Blanding; Brent Bullock, 61, Moab; Richard Bourret, 59, Durango, Colo.; David Waite, 61, Albuquerque, N.M.; Brandon Laws, 38, Blanding.
The defendants are charged with multiple counts of violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act as well as theft of government property, depredation of government property, and theft of Indian tribal property.
"Looters robbing tribal communities of their cultural patrimony is a major law enforcement issue for federal agencies enforcing historic preservation laws in Indian Country," said Interior Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs Larry EchoHawk in a news release. "Today's action should give American Indians and Alaska Natives assurance that the Obama Administration is serious about preserving and protecting their cultural property."
According to documents that outlined the case, the FBI was working with a confidential source who had been a dealer of archaeological artifacts for about 10 years.
Between March 2007 and November 2008, that source purchased approximately 256 artifacts, valued at about $336,000, most of which came from Native American burial grounds and Indian caches, according to the documents.
The informant recorded the conversations and transactions as part of the federal undercover operation, according to the court documents.
One of the defendents in the case, James D. Redd, who had been a physician in Blanding for many years, was found dead near a pond on his property Friday. Initial reports say the death was an apparent suicide.

ATLANTA Trey Burkes trophy case and pro potential are growing by the day. But the talented Michigan sophomore point guard dismissed Friday any thoughts about individual accolades until his Wolverines achieve their ultimate goal, winning a national championship.
My teammates and coaches have made me who I am, Burke said Friday, only hours after receiving the prestigious Wooden Award emblematic of the top player in the country. I share anything Ive won with them. But its irrelevant to talk about things like that, or the NBA, with such an important game ahead of us.
Burke said his entire focus is on Syracuse, which stands in the way of the schools first championship appearance since 1993.
When we win, then I can talk about all that other stuff, Burke said. Right now, Im more concerned about attacking Syracuses zone than anything else.
Burke was not a top national recruit when he signed with Michigan out of Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio. He was more well-known as the teammate of Jared Sullinger, the Ohio State All-American forward now playing for the Boston Celtics.
I did have kind of a chip on my shoulder because I wasnt recruited that hard, he said. That made me work harder and helped me build confidence.
Coach John Beilein threw Burke immediately into the fire almost by necessity, handing him the point guard spot as a true freshman.
Darius Morris had left early for the NBA, and Trey was our only point guard recruit, Beilein said. But we seemed to read each other right from the start, and he made a lot of early deposits in my trust bank. Now we have so much mutual respect for each other because the kid works harder than anybody Ive ever coached.
Burke said he learned essential leadership skills from veterans Zach Novak and Stu Douglas last season. They taught me how to be the voice of the team, and to earn my teammates ultimate respect, he said.
He also said the only pressure he feels being so highly honored is the pressure I put on myself. Once you hit the court, youre just a basketball player. And you have to keep proving yourself every day.
Ten years ago, then freshman Gerry McNamara helped lead Syracuse to its only national championship.
Now a valued assistant coach with the Orange, GMac has given the current Orange players a sense of perspective on the pressure, the pitfalls and the expectations a Final Four can put on a young kid experiencing it for the first time.
First of all, you have to enjoy the entire experience, McNamara said. It goes by so fast, sometimes you forget that its just a game and that youre a part of such a huge event.
Secondly, McNamara implored the SU players to play like the next game is your last. Do everything you can to make sure that the season lasts at least one more game.
As for the pressure involved in such an event, McNamara said he was as nervous as any player could be before shining on college basketballs biggest stage. But I channeled it into motivation and relaxation. I know thats hard to do, but you have to keep telling yourself its just another game.
SU senior James Southerland said he has taken McNamaras advice to heart. Coach Mac knows how to respond to the limelight because hes been through it, Southerland said. Just hearing him talk about it gives me a sense of calm that hopefully will carry over to this weekend on the court.

Ashes 2013: Australia can upset England - Matthew Hayden
Former Australia batsman Matthew Hayden says the current team can beat England in this year's Ashes despite going into the series as underdogs.
Australia, beaten in the 2009 and 2011 Ashes series, suffered a 4-0 whitewash by India in March.
But Hayden told BBC Sport: "Australia are capable of anything when it comes to the Ashes.
"They have to be workmanlike, build pressure and be in a position to take England on."
Hayden, who played 103 Tests for Australia between 1994 and 2009, said much would depend on the fitness of England batsman Kevin Pietersen, who is battling to recover from a knee injury in time for the first Test at Trent Bridge on 10 July.
Australia's Ashes tour itinerary
26-29 June: v Somerset
2-5 July: v Worcestershire
10-14 July: 1st Test, Trent Bridge
18-22 July: 2nd Test, Lord's
26-28 July: v Sussex
1-5 August: 3rd Test, Old Trafford
9-13 August: 4th Test, Chester-le-Street
16-17 August: v Northants
21-25 August: 5th Test, The Oval
"For me he is the key player and would be a huge loss," said Hayden. "He has had longevity in the sport. He has played against Australia many times, has taken us on and has won."
Australia's mauling in India has left the team at arguably its lowest ebb since the mid-1980s, when they lost eight and won only two of 13 consecutive Test series before pulling off a shock 4-0 victory in the 1989 Ashes in England.
Their 16-man squad features only five players who have played an Ashes Test in England and lacks proven pedigree following the recent retirements of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey and the ongoing struggle to replace stellar talents such as Hayden, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist.
Following the India series, England all-rounder Ian Botham described captain Michael Clarke's unit as "the worst Australian team I can remember".
Hayden, however, thinks Australia's players are well suited to English conditions and will raise their games for the Ashes showdown with their oldest foes.
"England won't make the mistake of taking us for granted because we are a very talented nation of cricketers - we have a very good fast bowling unit and we are competitive," said Hayden, who won three of the four Ashes series he contested between 2001 and 2007.
"On form, England have a great chance of winning the Ashes but we are a very dangerous side and this is a big tournament for us," he said.
"We go there knowing that the Ashes series has a lot riding on it. It's something we talk about often in Australian cricket teams.
Last five Ashes results
- 2002-03: Australia 4-1 England
- 2005: England 2-1 Australia
- 2006-07: Australia 5-0 England
- 2009: England 2-1 Australia
- 2010-11: England 3-1 Australia
"It's always about this series for us as young cricketers so these guys will come dreaming of winning the Ashes."
Hayden urged Australia's players to learn from England's example in 2005, when a pace attack of Simon Jones, Matthew Hoggard, Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison drove the hosts to their first Ashes triumph in 18 years.
"Whether it is with bat, ball or in the field it is about building and developing sustained pressure through partnerships," Hayden said.
"We saw that through the successful Ashes series in 2005, with Flintoff, Hoggard and co developing really sustained periods of pressure in their bowling line-ups.
"They won the Ashes back on the strength of good, consistent team bowling efforts but to master simplicity is, obviously, very difficult."
Australia's tour of India was thrown into disarray when four players were suspended for failing to produce a presentation to team management.
Hayden believes publicity of the affair did Australia no favours and urged them to keep any issues in-house during the Ashes.
"If I was in the Australia cricket team right now I would be investing in the solid culture of the group, making sure that they stay really tight," he said.
"When they arrive in early June in England the tabloid media will be licking their chops at the thought of having kangaroo blood shed."

Good old Glenn always was a laugh! Not very good at recent predictions is he and not a tweet out fvhim so far. But then this lot are a a pale shadow of his team and I expect an England win but make no score predictions,leave that to Glenn eh?
Comment number 104. Posted by Millingtonon 9 May 2013 20:23
Glenn McGrath's prediction of 5-0 did come true.
Yes, but he predicted wrong enough times and that's the point.
Of course Australia 'can' beat England in this years Ashes, but whether they 'will or not' is another question.
Personally I don't see it, this current Aus side aren't good enough and England will be too strong for them on their home turf.
Comment number 103. Posted by righteous furyon 9 May 2013 13:31
Dear NorthernApe,
Glenn McGrath's prediction of 5-0 did come true.
Which is also something that no England team has done in an Ashes in more than 100 years of attempting.
Comment number 102. Posted by NothernApeon 9 May 2013 10:50
Matthew, you should get together with Glenn Mcgrath and work out who can come out with the most absurd pre-series prediction. You could sell tickets!
Comment number 101. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 9 May 2013 05:04
@57, Root only played in the last Test in India and he hardly scored a run in New Zealand. I'm afraid he is still unproven in Test cricket, although I'm confident he'll go on to have a long and successful Test career. Of the two Compton has certainly made the more impressive start to his Test career.
Comment number 100. Posted by plushpuppy8on 8 May 2013 15:26
Re 84. Admittedly and perhaps a team of the calibre of Aus 2006/07 would reach a similar result this year. But there ain´t none.
Comment number 99. Posted by Hughieboy48on 8 May 2013 07:26
Full marks to Hayden for loyalty, but zero for realism. McGrath predicted 5-0 back in 2005 & look where that got them! His comments made them look VERY silly. Ex-Aussie Test players (mainly) would do well to avoid predictions of this nature-bearing in mind that Hussey & Ponting have gone since last time.
Comment number 98. Posted by Ozzieblueon 8 May 2013 05:47
I think the only way the Aussies can upset England is if they carry on like normal, being spoilt brats, being ignorant, classless and boorish, and spouting insults left right and centre......Oh wait a minute that's what they call "sledging" and being an "True Blue Ocker"
And trust me that is enough to upset anyone, let alone their former masters..or is that present masters in cricket, hehe
Comment number 97. Posted by Marigold29on 8 May 2013 04:34
It is hard to be critical of a cricketing legend but Mathew Hayden is wrong. Certainly Australia are capable of anything in one match but will lose the Ashes Test Series. KP is important but England would win without him as man for man 8 out of 11 of their respective players are of higher quality. Too much Baggy Green bias albeit from a legend.
Comment number 96. Posted by Gabbagodon 7 May 2013 22:51
Nope. Australia are no chance in the northern Summer. We just won't make enough runs. Maybe down here but not in the Old Dart. I like Rogers inclusion and Cowan, Clarke and wierdly enough Hughes. Warner is a hack, Watson on the very fast decline and Haddin a step backwards. Australia will bowl very well in patches but will not build pressure over long enough.
Comment number 95. Posted by ballsintherightareason 7 May 2013 22:33
Rogers might average 50 in country cricket, but being thrown into a new team and an Ashes test as (almost) your first test match and facing a fully fired up Anderson, Broad, Finn and Swann will be quite a different prospect.
Comment number 94. Posted by ballsintherightareason 7 May 2013 22:23
Aussie batting line-up is very weak and they know it. Cowan, Warner, Hughes, Watson and Haddin have played 30, 34, 45, 75, and 73 test innings and not one of the has an average above 40. The Ashes will create media attention and pressure like no other test series for them and I will not be surprised to see them collapse, especially on the (rare) occasions when Clarke gets out cheaply.
Comment number 93. Posted by ballsintherightareason 7 May 2013 22:06
Bowlers in particular generally get a big advantage by playing at home. Some interesting exceptions in this group, though.
Eng home / away (career ave):
Anderson 27.47 / 35.20
Finn 25.24 / 35.20
Broad 27.64 / 38.09
Swann 30.42 / 28.40
Aus home / away (career ave):
Watson 38.87 / 24.87
Pattinson 21.50 / 29.00
Harris 27.06 / 21.70
Siddle 27.11 / 31.75
Lyon 33.61 / 32.80
Comment number 92. Posted by BOBon 7 May 2013 21:55
Australia were never the underdogs against England and they still aren't
Comment number 91. Posted by ballsintherightareason 7 May 2013 21:48
Cook, Compton, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Root, Prior, Broad, Swann, Finn and Anderson. Batting (last 2 years) = 389.24; ave bowling ave = 30.57.
Cowan, Warner, Hughes, Watson, Clarke, Rogers (est ave 40), Haddin, Pattinson, Harris, Siddle and Lyon. Batting = 339.25; ave bowling ave = 26.46.
So Eng only slightly better on paper but generally test teams win about 50% more at home.
3-0, I say.
Comment number 90. Posted by NH Rugby Is Appallingon 7 May 2013 21:47
England have again proven they dont have a killer instinct. New Zealand hammered them, embarrased them, and it was only by pure luck that they didn't win 2-0. Beware an underrated Aussie team. Sure, none of the current England squad would have made the aussie team of yester-year. But on paper they are better than the current Aussies. But is paper enough? Doubtful. Can't wait.
Comment number 89. Posted by eddie-georgeon 7 May 2013 20:17
Perhaps Australia have more pace bowling depth (though I'd argue many are thin on Test experience), but in my book, England have a better first choice attack, clearly the better spinners, so overall are better resourced.
England would be foolish to underrate the Aussie quicks, but Anderson, Finn and Broad should be a match for whatever trio or quartet the Aussies field.
Comment number 88. Posted by BarmyArmyon 7 May 2013 20:16
I reckon England are rightly favourites, but could easily slip up. My team for the Ashes tests would be:
1. Cook
2. Compton
3. Trott
4. Pietersen
5. Bell
6. Root
7. Prior
8. Broad
9. Swann
10. Finn
11. Anderson
Tough call on whether Bairstow should be in but Compton hasn't done too badly.
Comment number 87. Posted by Sufice2sayon 7 May 2013 19:40
Having seen capitulation in India , anything less than 3 to zip will be embarrassing.
Having lived in Aussie during wilderness years it has to be payback time and we should be glorying in it.

Martha Graham
Martha Graham was a prime revolutionary in the arts of this century and the American dancer and choreographer whose name became synonymous with modern dance. She died on April 1, 1991 at her home in Manhattan. She was 96 years old.
Frequently ranked with Picasso, Stravinsky and James Joyce for developing a form of expression that broke the traditional mold, Miss Graham was initially acclaimed as a great dancer.
Masterworks and Invention
Yet ultimately her genius -- universally recognized as she became the most honored figure in American dance -- was embodied in her choreographic masterworks and her invention of a new and codified dance language.
The Graham technique, which is now used by dance companies throughout the world, became the first enduring alternative to the idiom of classical ballet. Powerful, dynamic, jagged and filled with tension, this vocabulary combined with Miss Graham's distinctive system of training to set her above other dance innovators.
Although such achievements were part of Miss Graham's multi-faceted pioneering role in helping to establish modern dance outside the older ballet tradition after the 1920's, she continued to amaze her public for more than 60 years. She choreographed more than 180 works.
Throughout her career, Miss Graham's fundamental tenet was that dance should reach audiences through a visceral response rather than an objective image that registered upon the intellect. "Out of emotion comes form," she said, and then proved that out of form she could re-create the same emotion onstage.

Martha Graham Dies at 96; A Revolutionary in Dance
Martha Graham, a prime revolutionary in the arts of this century and the American dancer and choreographer whose name became synonymous with modern dance, died yesterday at her home in Manhattan. She was 96 years old. Miss Graham died of cardiac arrest after being treated for two months for pneumonia, said Ron Protas, general director of the Martha Graham Dance Company. Miss Graham had become ill in December after a 55-day tour of the Far East with her troupe. She entered the hospital on Jan. 15 and returned home two weeks ago.April 2, 1991 obituariesObituary (Obit)

Martha Graham was applauded, then cheered, then honored Monday night during a gala at the Paris Opera that was at once a celebration of her work and a gathering of France's wealthy, powerful and famous. The gala also was a harbinger of what Rudolf Nureyev intends to do as the Paris Opera's new director of ballet, a post he took over last September. Miss Graham's company was the first American dance troupe ever to appear on stage at the Opera, Charles Garnier's noble Second Empire palace in the heart of Paris. ''This is the great opening of the Garnier Palace to the international world of dance,'' said Jack Lang, France's Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in Charge of Culture.January 26, 1984 artsReview

John Steinbeck
An allegory is a story that uses character types to represent specific ideas and create a universal message. In Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck uses his characters, locations, animal imagery, and a simple game of cards to demonstrate to his readers that most people dream about lives of great significance. But in reality, most humans' limitations keep these dreams from coming true, and in the long run, they are destined to experience common lives.
George and Lennie are the only two characters in the novel who are explained in any detail. The other characters are all "types," or people whom the reader might recognize as one of a certain group. Even the names of the characters, short and descriptive, say something about them. Lennie Small, for instance, is anything but small physically, and other characters seem to notice and comment on that. His brain is small and his ability to reason is small, but his body is huge and very powerful. Curley's wife has no name, indicating her powerless position on the ranch.
Each of the characters represents a kind of person in American society and often one that is a victim of discrimination. For example, Crooks represents a segment of American society that is discriminated against because of race; Curley's wife, because of gender; Candy, because of old age and physical handicap. Carlson is a perfect example of a selfish oaf, interested only in his creature comforts and oblivious to any one else's feelings. Slim is the consummate example of understanding and gentleness beneath a wise and experienced exterior. The pugnacious Curley is the little guy who loves to flaunt his power and status. Each of these minor characters impact, negatively or positively, Lennie and George's dream of having their own farm.
The pool described in the first paragraph of the novel is a place of sanctuary. Away from the world of humans, "the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool." Steinbeck goes on to describe the "strong and rocky" Gabilan Mountains and the "golden foothill slopes." A gentle breeze and fresh, green willow trees line the pool. In this place of sanctuary, George and Lennie enjoy one last night before going in to the ranch. Here there are no voices, no "scary things" for Lennie, no hurry, and no concerns about work.
But the pool represents another kind of sanctuary. George asks Lennie if he can remember this place, especially since it is on the river, an easy sign for Lennie to follow. George repeats several times his directions to Lennie: "Lennie — if you jus' happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an' hide in the brush … till I come for you." This is the place where Lennie can come and George can meet him and help him again as he did when Lennie got in trouble in Weed. If necessary, the pool will be their meeting place so they can get away once again. Later, when the doomed Lennie returns to the pool, he sadly repeats, "I di'n't forget, you bet. God damn. Hide in the brush an' wait for George." For Lennie, this is where George will make everything right, and he will be safe.
While this is also the place where Lennie's dream will die, it will do so with peace and tranquility, at least in Lennie's mind. When George describes the dream, later at this pool, the atmosphere of nature and its beauty obviously inspire his words. He tells Lennie, "You … an' me. Ever'body gonna be nice to you. Ain't gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from @'em." Now this place has also become enmeshed in the retelling of the dream that will bring them better lives. And even though we know that the dream is retold here with another meaning for George, we also see that Lennie hears the story once again with eagerness in his voice and anticipation in his words. Here, in this beautiful place, George will save Lennie from the cruelty of Curley and help him die with his picture of their farm in his head.

The report, released on Aug. 5, indicates a serious tipping point for the agency with half of the Forest Service Budget usurped by wildfire costs.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), would add federally owned land in six iconic locations to the California Coastal National Monument - first established in 2000 and previously expanded by President Barack Obama in 2014.
There is no greater threat to the long term health of our wild lands than climate change and today's commitment by President Obama will help ensure that polluting sources of energy are not threatening our health or our lands.
The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), would designate more than 275,000 acres of snowy peaks and gorgeous lake-filled terrain as wilderness in the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains, one of the largest intact roadless areas in the country that lacks permanent protection.
In 1969, landing on the moon was a truly paradigm-shifting achievement--a real "first" both for the American public and NASA.
Randomly drop your finger on this map and you're guaranteed to land on a magnificent natural attraction, a rich historic site or an all-American recreation spot.
National monuments not only protect America's important wild and historic places, they protect its economy, too.
President Obama has vowed to urge Congress to designate new wilderness in the Refuge. Encourage him to keep fighting for this threatened land.

A series of race-related incidents at Grand Haven High School are at the center of ongoing federal and criminal investigations.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is examining incidents that have occurred this school year. The incidents, characterized by a parent of a biracial student as "racial intimidation," involve KKK-like apparel and a racial slur written on a school bus window.
A separate criminal investigation into the window incident is also ongoing.
Grand Haven Area Public Schools Superintendent Keith Konarska said he finds any type of racially insensitive behavior to be unacceptable, and that the school district is fully cooperating with investigators.
"Our expectations for our students are far greater," Konarska said.
KKK-inspired incidents
The string of racially-motivated incidents began in September 2012.
As freshman Katie Bridgeforth waited for a bus after school on Homecoming Friday, she said a student wore a KKK-like white mask outside the high school's doors.
Bridgeforth said fellow students asked the teen wearing the mask how he would feel if he were black and saw the mask, but he defended his actions by saying it was freedom of speech.
When the 15-year-old first told her mom about the incident, Lisa Hall said she couldn't believe this would occur in this community, in this day and age.
After contacting the school with her concerns, Hall said she viewed the school's surveillance video with her husband's cousin and one of the school's assistant principals, Pamela Vanderkamp.
From the footage, Hall said she could see the student wearing a mask. She then saw another student punch the mask-wearing student as a crowd gathered around the two.
"It was surreal to see," she said.
Grand Haven High School Principal Tracy Wilson confirmed that the incident did occur, but said she was unaware if a fight broke out afterward. She added that no adults saw the event unfold.
Wilson said they became aware of the incident after Hall called the school.
Shortly after Homecoming, Bridgeforth said she and a friend overheard a conversation between two other female students on the bus ride home.
Bridgeforth said she overheard a girl say the world would be a better place if all African-Americans went back to Africa and all Hispanics went back to Mexico.
Wilson said that snippet of conversation could have stemmed from a classroom history lesson.
Another incident occurred in October, Bridgeforth said, when a student at lunch wore a dunce-like paper hat with cursive letters "KKK" written on it.
Wilson said that story has changed many times. Wilson said her interview with the Tribune was the first she heard of the hat having "KKK" written in cursive on it.
The school's policy is strictly no hats, whether it is a winter hat or baseball cap.
Wilson said one of the school's assistant principals, Michael Roberson, was in the cafeteria and saw a sailor-like hat from across the room, but when he looked back the student no longer wore the hat.
After reviewing the surveillance videos, school officials weren't able to identify the student involved. Wilson said the cafeteria has containers that food comes in, which might be what a student wore upside down atop his head.
"That's what it appears to be," Wilson said.
Following the incident, Hall said she filed a sheriff's report, and also complained to the U.S. Department of Education, sparking the investigation.
More recently, in early February, Bridgeforth said she and her friend were the direct subjects of harassment as they rode Bus No. 1 home from school.
"Look at those n-----s over there," Bridgeforth said, recalling some of the dialogue used by the male students. "I'll give you $5 if you (have sex with) one of them."
Bridgeforth said the conversation continued with the group of five boys asking if they would ever date a black person, to which another student singled out Bridgeforth and her friend by saying, "No, they have nappy hair."
"I can't believe people have the guts to say that to somebody," Bridgeforth said.
Hall said she watched the bus surveillance video, and could see the interaction between the girls and the boys. Immediately after that confrontation, her daughter laid her head in her lap until the bus reached her stop.
"It's heart-wrenching to see it," she said.
Although the bus' surveillance video lacks sound and provides a grainy image, Wilson said she could tell it was an uncomfortable conversation based on the body language and reaction of the girls putting their heads down.
Wilson said their whole demeanor wasn't confident, and that it was awful to watch, knowing some of the things that were said.
"I don't know how they didn't punch someone in the face," Wilson said.
During the school's investigation of the Bus No. 1 incident, the principal said they received further information about a student who wrote a racial slur on the bus window the day before.
Wilson said the slur was written backward on a steamed-up window on the side of the bus so passing cars could read it.
Freshman Patrick Gardner said he was called into the office by assistant principal Vanderkamp a few days after the most recent incident and was accused of writing, "Kill all n-----s" on the bus window.
When Gardner insisted on his innocence, he said he was told that he could be suspended for up to three days if he wrote the racial slur and another seven if he lied about it.
Wilson confirmed Vanderkamp met with Gardner because a student named and identified him as the writer, and she pressed the issue because students often immediately claim their innocence.
Although Wilson wouldn't disclose what was written on the window because it's under investigation, she did say that the writing was inappropriate and did not contain the word "kill."
Upon reviewing the bus surveillance footage, Wilson said they were able to determine Gardner did not write the slur and another student did.
Gardner's mother, Megan Rohn, said the event was disheartening because her younger son, who is biracial, will most likely go through the same kind of intimidation some day.
"Something or someone has influenced them to feel that way about other races," Rohn said.
Bridgeforth said the incidents have left her feeling unwanted, unsafe, angry and misunderstood.
"I should be Caucasian if I want to live here," she said.
School investigations
While Wilson said five students received disciplinary measures related to the incidents, she declined to share specific details because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Generally speaking, she said that students who participate in these sorts of incidents are disciplined via the school's harassment and bullying policy.
If an action is intentionally focused on an individual or group, the consequences are steeper because there is a victim.
The school uses both in-school and out-of-school suspensions starting at three days, although it depends on the severity of the incident. Wilson said they try to be consistent when disciplining students, but they do take into account whether a student has been in trouble previously.
"These are kids," Wilson said. "They're going to make mistakes."
In addition to the school's internal investigation into the incidents, the two other agencies' investigations remain open.
Judy Mulder, chief of the West Ottawa Prosecuting Attorney Division, confirmed there is an ongoing criminal investigation regarding the racial slur written on the bus window.
Based on the law, Mulder said there wasn't sufficient evidence that the threat would be carried out, but her office is looking into whether other acts were committed by the same individual, which could result in stalking charges.
Ottawa County Sheriff's Sgt. Valerie Weiss, who oversees the School Resource Deputy Program, said the department is involved in the prosecutor's investigation and couldn't elaborate on the investigation until it is closed.
The Tribune submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department seeking the incident reports. A clerk said the department is processing the request, and declined to provide those public records.
Mulder said she couldn't immediately recall exactly what was written on the bus window, but that it was racial.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Education has been conducting an investigation since Dec. 6, which was initiated by Hall's Oct. 21 complaint.
Hall said she felt the school has been negligent in how officials handled the incidents and that the incidents haven't been appropriately dealt with as yet.
"My daughter deserves justice," Hall said. "So do the other kids who have been bullied."
Konarska responded to the family's concern by saying that school officials take these issues seriously.
"We've worked very hard to put in place a broader understanding of issues of diversity and an appropriate response," he said.
Jim Bradshaw, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Education, wouldn't say much about the nature or status of the investigation, other than to confirm that there is a case against the school district involving a racial harassment complaint.
Bradshaw said they don't discuss details of investigations, but there is an allegation that the district violated civil rights laws, specifically Title 6 prohibiting discrimination of race, color and national origin.
"It is currently under investigation," he said.
When Konarska received the investigation notification, he said he was "obviously concerned."
"But I understood the reason for the complaint and hope that we can benefit from the third-party review," he said.
Konarska declined to comment on what types of information the district provided the agency during its investigation.
"It's ongoing and we're just cooperating in every way possible," he said.
When asked if the Tribune could see the video surveillance of the incidents or get copies of any correspondence related to the incidents, Konarska declined to produce the public records without a FOIA request. A FOIA request was immediately presented, at which time Konarska said they'd process it.
Facing tough issues
Following the February bus incidents, Wilson said she contacted the Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance for its assistance in providing a proactive, instead of reactive, stance on these sorts of issues.
Andre Daley, the diversity group's associate executive director, said he's working to create additional diversity training for staff and students.
Daley said the group has collaborated with Grand Haven schools for several years. The agency and school are now working on training specific to how teachers can break down barriers and help create welcoming environments.
Through the new programming, students should learn strategies to speak up and speak out. They should also learn what to do when racist behavior happens, why it happens and how it can be prevented.
Daley said it's about deepening the understanding of racial biases.
"That's what's going to break down that cycle," he said.
Students who are being disciplined for bullying or negative behavior directed at people of other ethnicities will also be required to participate in diversity education.
Wilson said they want to make sure the school is proactive and that all of the diversity education efforts are meaningful.
"It needs to be intentional and sustainable," Wilson said.
In the meantime, a quiet biracial girl at Grand Haven High School waits for a time when she feels welcome at the school.
Bridgeforth said she feels like it's her against the school, and she makes sure she has friends walk with her to class to try to avoid further confrontations.
"I just hope everybody just accepts us more," she said. "They're not really accepting."

Instead of mounting flush along the vehicle's edge, Round Nerf Bars run out from the vehicle at both ends then curve to form a stepping edge that passengers of all ages and sizes will thank you for.

An Onondaga County man has filed a lawsuit against attorney and St. Lawrence County district attorney candidate Mary E. Rain for work he claims she refuses to pay for.
Als Critter Solutions owner Albert J. LaFrance filed a small claims judgment Tuesday in Ogdensburg City Court against Ms. Rain after he said he had removed bats from an apartment building she owns in Watertown.
Mr. LaFrance said he removed six to 12 bats and sealed future entrance and exit ways from Ms. Rains 441 Broadway Ave. E. rental property in the city. The bill totaled $1,890.
I sent her a contract and she gave me a verbal OK on Aug. 14 as her tenants were having issues with bats getting into the home, Mr. LaFrance said.
In a letter to City Court, Mr. LaFrance said he sent the original contract, with the total cost of work, to Ms. Rain Aug. 9. The work was completed Aug. 29, when he mailed her the final invoice.
After pleading with her for several months, she mailed me a check for $300 stating the rest would follow, Mr. LaFrance said.
He said he received that check Oct. 4 and never saw another cent to pay off the remaining $1,590.
Im semiretired and on disability. I cannot afford to lose $1,590, but nor can I afford to get into an extensive legal battle with a professional attorney, Mr. LaFrance said.
After various attempts to reach Ms. Rain over a period of six months, Mr. LaFrance said he got his attorney, Maureen A. Perrin of Lafayette, involved.
A May 21 letter addressed to Ms. Rain from Ms. Perrin requested payment in full, noting that no complaints had been made of the work that was done and no objection to the bill was made.
But Ms. Rain said she had never signed a contract and didnt agree to the work with knowledge of the total cost.
I think it is a tactic on his part to get me to pay money that Im not going to pay him for work he didnt do. Ms. Rain said. He charged me almost $1,900 to take care of a bat issue at the apartment building in Watertown, and he is filing up here in Ogdensburg? Doesnt that sound a little bit suspicious?
In trying to find out where to file with small claims court, Mr. LaFrance said, he discovered Ms. Rain was running for St. Lawrence County district attorney and he thought voters should strongly consider their vote.
If this woman, as an attorney, cannot be responsible enough to take care of her own obligations, then how can she be trustworthy enough to be a district attorney that makes decisions over the lives of others? Mr. LaFrance said.
He said he tried to file in Watertown City Court but was told by the court that he needed to file in the town of Ms. Rains residence or business; a rental property was not considered a place of business.
Thats not true, Ms. Rain said. Can you imagine if a contractor that worked for me down in New York City and they can only file it in Ogdensburg? Hes trying to get some political play out of it, which is all he is trying to do.
Ms. Rain said the issue is in dispute and some agreement will have to be reached that doesnt include her paying $1,900.
And what he isnt saying is that he doesnt have a contract to that effect. He sent me a written contract and then he goes and does the work without an approval. I didnt approve $1,900, Ms. Rain said. Hes using the paper to try to get money from me and Im just not going to do it.
There is a difference of opinion regarding Ms. Rains letter in response to Ms. Perrin. While Ms. Rain said she did respond, Mr. LaFrance said his attorney is still awaiting a response and on June 10, she advised him to take the matter to small claims court.
Mr. LaFrance contacted both the Appellate Division Committee on Professional Standards in Potsdam and St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� seeking assistance in the matter.
A letter from attorney Roger A. Linden advised Mr. LaFrance that his complaint must be forwarded to the Appellate Division in Albany to determine jurisdiction.
Additionally, Mr. LaFrance said, he was advised by the district attorneys chief confidential investigator, Daniel Manor, that he take the matter to both small claims court and the newspapers.
The case will be brought before Ogdensburg City Court at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 9.

If you are only going to be visiting San Francisco I would advise that you stay in San Francisco. Being in
and having to travel to San Francisco would take an hour or more. Also if you go out at night in the city you would not have to worry about making it back to Oakland.
Pack a sweater! Because
Santa Cruz
is in California and a beach town, many people think it will be warm and sunny. Actually, it can get surprisingly cold. Also, don't count on swimming in the ocean, unless you wear a wetsuit. As with most of Northern California beaches, the water is freezing.
-- it's a tranquil place. I suggest enjoying a delicious coffee in the naked lounge -- it's great!
Big Bear Lake
is an awesome town hidden in the mountains. I felt like I was in the Alps! I stopped there on my way to Las Vegas and Joshua Tree. I stayed for three days when I only planned to stop for the night. I went kayaking and hiked to Castle Rock which has great views of the lake and alpine forest. I'd love to come back in winter and try snowboarding!
I've been to
Los Angeles
, San Diego, and San Francisco. Los Angeles is good if you want to experience "Hollywood". Other than that, if you want to experience social beaches I would head to San Diego. If you want a really great city experience, nothing beats San Francisco. There is a lot to do in Los Angeles but be careful because places like ritzy Beverly Hills will very quickly go into some of LA's very ghetto destricts. Same with Hollywood -- past the main touristy area, the town becomes very ghetto. My experience is nothing feels quite as scary as downtown Los Angles at night. By all costs, stay clear of South Central. Venice is an interesting place and so is Santa Monica for some classic social, if not eclectic, culture. Traffic's horrible. Air is terrible. Hey, it's Los Angeles.
Of course most visitors to
go to Telegraph to shop, but there are plenty of other areas that offer a completely different type of shopping experience, if the begging teenager/dirty hippie scene isn't your thing. Try College Ave (go several blocks past the dorms) and Fourth Street. Fourth Street is a bit trendier, but both are pleasant, though too yuppie-ish for some.
There is a Farmers Market festival every Thursday in
, with music and lots of food. Great location for Disneyland, Knox Berry Farm, California Adventure, and other scenic adventures.
… Wonderful wildlife, and nearby towns, a nice cozy environment.
Point Reyes
… I was staying there. There were lots of trees and greens! It's great and you can meet people from different places around the earth!
San Diego
… Ocean Beach (OB) is not known for respectful people, so be forwarned. However there are lots of cool bars around and a colorful array of people in OB. Basically a slacker town with priorities that are not exactly much in the way of production, mostly destruction.
… It sucks -- it is overpriced and too small.
Santa Barbara
… Not a bad place -- stands out by a country mile as the cheapest accomodation in town. Very small common area, standard dorms. Cool guys working there at the moment; there seems to be a good deal of turnover.
Mammoth Lakes
… Mammoth is for rich folks -- don't stay there unless you have a platinum card and thousands of dollars to waste.
… I just used the hot springs yesterday and last weekend. No fee. Not co-ed. No clothing. Wonderful as always.
San Francisco
… If you don't want to wait in line for the cable cars that run from Market Street to Fisherman's Warf, it's best to go try the California cable car line instead (from Market to Van Ness on California Street). It isn't as hilly, so it's not quite as much fun, but there's almost never a line. Or if you do take the other lines, at least go at night when there's usually much less of a wait (check the schedule at transitinfo.org).

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Eyewitnesses spoke to media after they were escorted out of a bus that brought them out of the Navy Yard building where a 34-year-old gunman killed 13 people and wounded several.
Antoinette Procterwho who was on the opposite side of the shooting incident heard the sirens and soon after, Police came through and told every one to 'lock down', after which she and her colleagues barricaded themselves. She says, "I didn't wake up this morning to experience this...It was very frustrating to be locked down all those hours and not know when they were going to let us go home." She also said there are still hundreds of people locked down.
"I am on my way home to my children," she said joyful as she was able to get out safely but concerned for the families of the people who were killed.
"By the grace of God, we all are fine but we are praying for the families of the people that did die."
