To Tell the Truth
I first met Miss Lollie Schaffer the summer after I started school. Ike was in the White House and the wars were over. At seven I was the oldest of Mama's girls, and so she had sent me to the store that thick June day with her shopping list and a strict warn- ing. Mama had assured me she knew exactly how much money should be left from the purchase, lest I squander a few cents on licorice. She had promised to use her hickory switch if I came back with the wrong amount of change. I did not dare. Mama kept her promises.
Miss Lollie was ahead of me in line at the gro- cery counter. I looked at her as the grocer, Mr. Porter, counted her change and bagged her canned goods. She was by far the oldest person I had ever seen up close, with deep creases lining her weathered face. She wore a black pillbox hat and veil, her long gray-black braid dangling down her back. She had on a green housedress with a pair of men's black trousers underneath. The pant legs had been rolled several times into a crude hem and whip stitched in place. Her lips were bright red and smudged across her face. A black patent pock- etbook dangled wide open on her arm, a few crinkled dollar bills peeking out. In my worn green play dress I looked ready to meet the Queen in comparison to this lady.
"…and we thank you, Lollie," Mr. Porter rat- tled, saying the same thing he said to every customer who paid at the counter, including me. "Need any help getting home?"
"George, I'm not as feeble as you think." Miss Lollie peered down her half glasses at the grocer. "If I want help, I'll ask on my own, thank you." She turned to her left and eyeballed me. "You there, child." Miss Lollie sniffed. "I believe you'd be well-suited to ac- company me home." It was not an invitation.
We walked to Miss Lollie's home in silence, me following her at a pace behind. The trip was a slow one, as Miss Lollie was able to propel herself forward only by shuffling her feet slightly, one foot barely mov- ing in front of the other. I felt very uncertain as we navigated the tree-lined sidewalk. I kept remembering Mama's constant instruction not to speak unless I was spoken to. So I trod behind Miss Lollie, resisting the temptation to mimic her strange gait.
Eventually we reached Miss Lollie's house, three blocks from Mr. Porter's store on the corner of Water and Pine Streets. As I looked up at the worn clapboards I knew the place where water and pine met should have been prettier than the sight before my eyes. I guessed the paint had been peeling at a steady rate for years, and I could read the eras of the house the way one counts rings in the trunk of a tree: the green era, the yellow era, the blue era. The grass needed trimming, and weeds were advancing on the front steps.
But none of this compared to the awesome sight of the three giant totem poles standing in a row in the south corner of the yard. None stood very straight, and all were covered with carvings and too-bright col- ors. A hand-lettered plywood sign to the left of the to- tem poles advertised Miss Lollie's house as "Stewart County's Only Indian Artifacts Museum."
Inside I helped Miss Lollie put her staples in the cupboard and tried not to gawk. There was so much to take in. Three tabby cats tiptoed across the kitchen table. All the windows were covered with crimson taf- feta. Books and newspapers and worn glossy maga- zines sat in piles upon every flat surface.
The Indian artifacts museum doubled as Miss Lollie's sitting room. An oversized oil painting of Sit- ting Bull dominated the far wall opposite the front door. A tall bookshelf was lined with titles mentioning the Trail of Tears, the life and death of General Custer, and the various tribes indigenous to the Southern United States. Arrowheads and pieces of broken pottery rested upon end tables and filled the corner china cabi- net. Miss Lollie allowed me to stare for a moment be- fore she motioned me toward a straight-backed chair directly opposite Sitting Bull.
Miss Lollie settled herself into the faded pais- ley armchair near the bookshelf. "What's your name, child?"
I craved the heft of an arrowhead in the palm of my hand and wanted to trace the rough edge of a piece of broken pottery with my pointer finger, but all that would have to wait. "Lina, ma'am. Lina Lawson." I spoke with a firm voice, as I supposed a woman of Miss Lollie's years would likely be a touch hard of hearing.
"Surely your parents didn't christen you that." She narrowed her eyes. "And there's no need to shout at me in my own home."
"Yes'm." I ducked my head and smoothed the skirt of my dress over my knees, both sunset red from the scrapes I earned jumping out of the tire swing the week before. Mama had slapped me and sent me to bed without supper that night for tearing a hole in my dress. "Lina is short for Caroline, ma'am. My sisters are little, and that's what they call me."
Miss Lollie grunted. "Seems to me, if a person is going to have a nickname, she should be the one to do the choosing."
Maybe staring into the eye of Sitting Bull made me brave. I looked Miss Lollie square in the eye, raised my voice and asked, "Did your parents christen you Lollie?"
For a moment I thought Miss Lollie would jump up and strike me if only she had the mobility to walk across the room at a commanding speed. I had been smart and loud two things Mama hated. Miss Lol- lie glared at me, taking me in from the split ends of my tangled hair to the soles of my scuffed Mary Janes. Then a deep rumbling came up from her belly.
She was laughing. "Actually, I was christened Laurel, after the evergreen wreath given to the ancient victors. But my baby brother couldn't say it – it always came out 'Lollie.' And the name, as you say, 'stuck.'"
And in that instant, Miss Lollie seemed to ac- cept me as an equal. She never called me 'child' again. We spent that afternoon learning one another. My sto- ries were told with the brevity of a young life: three sisters, one dog, one year of elementary school, Daddy's job at the garage and the blue uniform he wore to work each day, Mama's aptitude with apple pie and strict discipline, my love of the color blue and my ha- tred of radishes.
Miss Lollie's stories took until supper. She ran away to New York at age sixteen and earned her wage at a dance hall in the city. She never married, but had been in love twice – once with a traveling minister and once with a married physician – and everyone knew her personal business both times. She studied literature and history in college, and was the first woman in Georgia to earn a master's degree from the University.
As she talked, her mysteries began to open wide like our tulips when they were struck by the first spring sun. She wore trousers with her dresses because she found nylons to be immodest at her age. A thin veil of pantyhose simply could not cover the webs of purple and blue veins that patterned her legs. The makeshift red taffeta curtains were a remembrance of her dance hall days. She had sewn them from the skirts of old dance dresses she wore to kick up her heels to the can- can. Her museum came out of her love affair with the married doctor, who was one-quarter Cherokee and left her his personal collection of arrowheads and Indian novels as a token of his affection once he decided to stay at home with his wife for good.
Miss Lollie told me things that any other adult would keep hidden, things Mama said were not fitting for little ears. I was fascinated and wanted more, crawl- ing off the chair opposite Sitting Bull to land cross- legged on the floor in front of Miss Lollie. I might have listened until the fireflies began to light if Mama had not interrupted our reverie by banging on Miss Lollie's front door.
Mama was furious. She laid out her whole trau- matic afternoon once Miss Lollie conceded permission for me to open the front door and let Mama inside the house. Mama had checked with all our neighbors on Francis Street before retracing my steps to Mr. Porter's. There the grocer had informed her I had not bought our own groceries: what I had done was carried Miss Lol- lie's home for her. Mama shot me the look that meant she would deal with me as soon as we got back to the privacy of our home. She turned her full body weight toward Miss Lollie. "Missus Schaffer, what do you mean keeping Lina here all day?"
"Call me 'Miss Lollie,' ma'am," Miss Lollie said. "This town is well aware I've never been any- body's 'missus,' so there's no need pretending other- wise."
I was impressed. I had never seen anybody talk back to Mama before without getting the back of Mama's hand. I tried to mask my excitement with what I hoped was a somber face. I did not want another switching. But inside I was rooting for Miss Lollie.
"I had Lina come here this afternoon because she owes me." Miss Lollie said. "She was careless to- day, and bumped into me on the sidewalk in front of the store. My groceries spilled, and Lina didn't have the money to replace what was ruined. So I had her carry home my remaining groceries and spend the af- ternoon here doing chores." Miss Lollie looked at Mama. "So I'm sure you can understand Lina's tardi- ness."
The swirl inside me was almost more than I could bear. I hated Miss Lollie. Mama would whip me for sure when we got home. I knew the sting of hickory against flesh as well as I knew the wiggle of a loose tooth against my tongue. I couldn't believe Miss Lollie would tell such a lie. She only knew a day's worth of me, but she still knew enough to understand Mama was not one to spare her rod and spoil her children. But I had never known for sure adults were lying, although I suspected them of it time and time again. I loved Miss Lollie for giving me that power.
"Yes'm, I can understand," Mama said. "I'm very sorry for Lina's clumsiness. I'll straighten her out when we get home." Mama glared in my direction. "In the meantime, I'd like to pay you for your loss." Mama opened her purse and pulled out a patent leather clutch.
"No, thank you, Mrs. Lawson. I'm not inter- ested in money," Miss Lollie said. "Lina has done a fine job this afternoon. But I don't feel the debt has been fully repaid." Miss Lollie turned to me. "I'd like your permission for Lina to spend every Monday after- noon at my house for the rest of the summer helping me with my chores." She turned back to Mama. "I'd also like you to allow me to handle Lina's discipline for this incident. I believe you'll find there will be no need to 'straighten her out,' as you say, at home." Miss Lollie rose from her armchair. "I trust this arrangement is agreeable."
Mama cocked her head. "Yes'm. I'll make sure Lina is here. Every Monday. Is one o'clock fine?" Miss Lollie nodded, and Mama kept on. "Very sorry to have troubled you." Mama returned the clutch down into her bag and closed her pocketbook.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lawson, but there's no need to apologize for Lina. She's rough-hewn, but you do have a fine daughter."
I wondered at Miss Lollie. No one had called me 'fine' before. It made me feel tall and proud and whole. I loved Miss Lollie. She respected me, trusted me, and thought I was fine.
I held on tight to that feeling, to everything I learned and saw that afternoon. That night, I thought of blood red curtains as Mama pulled me out to the side yard to cut the switch. I felt the bends and kicks and swirls of big-city dance hall girls as I bent over in front of God and everybody. And with each lash of hickory against my stinging legs I heard Miss Lollie tell Mama that I was a fine daughter. –e-

Power Problem - Win MCE 2005 HTPC
Hi all - first post here.
Built an HTPC this past weekend (my first do it yourself pc).
After some probs getting my wintv 250 to work right (windvd codec solved this) i finally got my new media center pc working last night and was all psyched to be able to record tv etc. Powered down my PC last night and went to bed (windows shut down).
Came home from work 2day, hit the power button, and nothing happened. No sign of power loss (i.e., clocks all had right time in home) during the day. Other peripherals (speakers, tv, cable box) pluged into the same power strip / surge protector all had power and worked fine.
Opened up the case, mobo shows power (green light on board). turned on and off the power supply - hit power on PC, power light on PC shines, but no boot, no turning of fans (not even on power supply).
Took apart PC - ensuring all power cables were connected properly. Looked to see that there were no errant screws or anything of metal that might be shorting things out. put the pc back together and still the power light on the case works and mobo lights up, but no power any where else.
Then selectively took power out of cd and tried to power up -- nada. Same w/ hard drive (thinking maybe 1 piece of the puzzle was faulty).
In any event - I'm at a total loss as to what I should do next.
Power supply seems to be working, or else the mobo and case pwr light wouldn't work -- right??? Could it be the mobo is faulty? Maybe the power switch?
What do you all suggest I do to eliminate faulty components?
Anyways -- any thoughts or suggestions will be most appreaciated.
Here are my specs (if it helps)
mobo - intel perll (or something like that)
cpu - intel p4 2.8 800fsb
psu - ultra 400watt
dvdrw - benq 8x
hd - wd 200 gig IDE
sound - old turtle beach santa cruz
tvcap - hauppage wintv 250
vid - ati aiw 9600
case - silvertech lco1
thanks again -

Re: Power Problem - Win MCE 2005 HTPC
Next thing I would do is reset CMOS/reset mobo.
then when you power up if you can go to bios make any necessary changes to settings.
When mobo has been reset most mobo's return to default settings, which are not usually the best settings.
If that dont help
Make sure your power button on your case is connected properly to the mobo.
Test the power supply.

Digital Learning: 4 ways not to be cranky
A couple of days ago, I was a bit cranky. Frustrated with educators who consistently refuse, for a variety of reasons, to integrate the use of technology tools into their instruction, I went off just a little.
I'm better now.
Cause I get it. I do. Teaching is hard enough without having to learn new stuff and then find ways to insert those new things into my classroom. I still believe we need to do those things but I understand the difficulty. And I think some of the teacher resistance I've run across is because people need more rationale, more examples, more ease of use.
So today? Read more

Election inspectors check in Webster residents by street name during the vote for a new $15 million Webster Community Center on Tuesday at Willink Middle School.
- Filed Under
WEBSTER - Residents rejected a $15 million plan to build a new community center in Webster with a narrow 1,631 to 1,570 vote Tuesday night.
"I really don't have a Plan B right now," Supervisor Ronald Nesbitt said when the result was announced shortly after 9 p.m. to a small crowd gathered at Willink Middle School where residents voted.
The proposal's price tag seemed to be opponents' main concern, Nesbitt said. If the plan had passed, the owner of an average home assessed at $160,500 would have paid $37.59 per year for 25 years. ...

Today is Poverty Day, and the U.S. Census Bureau has released new data that show 46.2 million people (15 percent) lived in poverty last year. Compared with 2010, the current poverty rate is not statistically different, but what is important to highlight is how social programs are working to help people survive in the face of poverty, especially during periods of high unemployment.
There is absolutely more to be done in order to reduce poverty. Without vital safety net programs like Social Security, unemployment insurance, SNAP (food stamps), and the Earned Income Tax Credit — programs that must be strengthened and expanded — millions of Americans would be struggling even harder to make ends meet.
Check out the infographic below from a Center for American Progress article by Melissa Boteach, manager of the Half in Ten campaign to cut poverty in half in ten years, on how government programs effectively keep people out of poverty:
In order to see a significant change moving forward, we must invest in these proven programs. But more importantly, we have to put people back to work in America. This is key not just in the short term, but for the future of our nation's children. In 2011 more than one in four children (25.1 percent) under age 5 lived in poverty. It is also troubling that the rates for Black and Latino children were significantly higher, at 42.7 percent and 36 percent, respectively. With a growing and increasingly diverse population, this level of disparity is unacceptable.
As Americans, our immediate and long-term economic competitiveness is at stake. Today's poverty data show us that it is time for government officials to prioritize decreasing poverty and increasing jobs, before the state of America's middle- and low-income families becomes worse.

Our grandson was going on a 2-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to Paraguay. As a gift to each of our grandchildren before they leave to serve their missions I make a quilt for them. He chose a bright red and bright blue with the third color being black. I was so overwhelmed by the thought of what I could do with those three colors for a design choice. I was so totally relieved when that same week I received your May/June 2011 magazine and there in the pages was Nancy Mahoney's Batik Magic. It was a miracle! I was thrilled, and able to complete the quilt.

Feeding & Breeding
There are clear differences between the breeds in their ability to produce milk and milk components which need to be accounted for in their feeding. Equally, differences in bodyweights mean differences in daily dry matter intake capacities. Some breeds are considered to be better at looking after themselves and replacing condition more easily than others, making them better suited to systems involving out-wintering or extended grazing.
Lighter animals may be valuable for causing less poaching and deeper-bodied cows with larger rumen capacities better adapted to high forage grazing systems. Specific selection pressures (historically in New Zealand, for example, and now in certain UK studs) are likely to produce bloodlines with better inherent grazing abilities than those selected under predominantly housed production regimes.
Compared to their average generitc mertic contemportaries, the cattle used in investigations at Langhill, have higher intake capacities and need not necessarily produce lower fat or protein percentages. They are more efficient at converting feed energy into milk energy and generate substantially higher feeding margins. Overall, the animals bred for combined weight of fat and protein produced similar yields from 1 tonne of concentrates as their unselected contemporaries did from 2.4 tonnes, resulting in substantially higher margins.
Crossbreeding studies in New Zealand and North America have further highlighted the potential for improving overall dairy productivity - particularly in terms of fertility, health and survivability - by harnessing the power of hybrid vigour.
While different types of stock may be better suited to different production systems, regardless of breed the key to cost-effective feeding is meeting the animals' particular performance requirements within their specific intake capacities.

Friday, February 18, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- The Newton County Board of Education will meet with school system officials Friday for a daylong planning meeting to discuss budget reductions of up to $9 million for next school year.
Newton County School System Superintendent Gary Mathews has said the system could see up to a $6.5 million reduction from local revenues, $2 to 3 million from state revenues and $1.9 million or more from the federal government, which will no longer provide stimulus funds to schools as it did this past school year.
NCSS is considering a list of $13 million in cuts to find at least $9 million to cut from next school year's budget. So far, the school board already has approved a change to the system's transportation system that will eliminate nearly 100 positions in the department to save about $1.5 million. It plans to vote in March on whether to change high school scheduling that would save more than $2.8 million and cut 47 teacher positions.
At the special called planning meeting, which is set to begin at 9 a.m. Friday in the board room in the Newton County BOE building at 2109 Newton Drive in Covington, the board is expected to hear from NCSS personnel and discuss items related to the budget.
Business Manager Peggy Bullard is expected to examine a multi-year projection of NCSS budgets, based on the system not receiving or losing any other funds; Public Relations Director Sherri Davis-Viniard will examine the results from the stakeholder survey on the possible major budget reductions that showed that most agreed with many of the proposals; Mathews will give administrative recommendations related to the reductions and determine the BOE's next steps toward the reductions; and Human Resources Director Nyree Sanders will review the system's Reduction In Force policy and procedures, according to the agenda.
In addition, BOE members will be charged to answer such questions as what reductions the BOE will support and if any clarification is needed for the system's RIF policy and procedures. The BOE also expects to have an item-by-item discussion of the proposed reductions and tell the administration which reductions they would approve and possibly vote on as early as March.
The board is expected to approve a tentative budget by May and a final budget in June; school systems in Georgia have until May 15 to extend contracts to teachers.

We visited my Mother last weekend and promised the kids a trip to one of her local parks, Kalinga Park. Mum is on the northside of town, where I grew up.
I can remember walking to Kalinga Park to play inter-school softball when I was at high school. The boy's sports always got top priority on the school's sporting grounds so us girls had to walk to Kalinga Park. No big deal I guess.
I also can't remember such fantastic playground equipment. This is all relatively new.
There's a great range of equipment for kids of all ages and abilities. In fact, I think there were more toddlers there on this particular day.
My kids were there 5 minutes and got a game of 'tiggy' started up. It was so muggy and the poor little guys were wringing wet with perspiration.
There are swings, slides and poles to slide down. (Check out my boy wearing his brand new school shoes to break them in before he started school. He thought he was such a big boy with his school shoes on. I had to pry them off him to get him in the bath. He would've worn them to bed if I let him!)
Funky designed picnic tables and chairs and free electric barbecues for a hot meal.
There's some hills to roll down. Toilets are close by as well.
There is a walking/bike track that goes from Kedron basically through to Nudgee Beach which runs through Kalinga Park. Kedron Brook runs beside the park and is always a good hunting ground for the kids and maybe even getting their feet wet (as long as it's not flooding which seems to be all the time here in Brisbane).
We'll be taking more food and more cold drinks next time. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. A lovely park set in a natural bush setting.

From Staff Reports
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Lisa M. Lyons, daughter of Annette Wells of Newnan and Edward Lyons, of Warner Robins, along with 5,500 Sailors and Marines assigned to the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG) recently arrived in Norfolk, Va, following a seven-and-a-half-month deployment supporting operations in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Seas.
USS Enterprise's return to Norfolk will be the 25th and final homecoming in her 51 years of distinguished service. The aircraft carrier is scheduled to be inactivated Dec. 1 in a ceremony at Norfolk Naval Station.
While deployed, Enterprise CSG served in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility (AOR), conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
During her 238 days away from Norfolk, "Big E," as Enterprise is affectionately known, safely steamed 80,968 miles and Carrier Air Wing 1 (CVW-1) flew more than 8,000 sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and exercises in the 5th and 6th Fleet AORs.
Lyons is also the sister of Trey Lyons of Newnan. She is a 2002 graduate of Bremen High School, and joined the Navy in February 2009.
Navy Seaman Paul Rojas, son of Rachel K. and Manuel R. Rojas of Sharpsburg, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Rojas completed a variety of training that included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations." This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.
Rojas is a 2009 graduate of Northgate High School.

Casey Brooks, one of the LA 3
On December 17th, 1995, the Animal Rights Direct Action Coalition
(ARDAC) participated in a national day of protest against Federated Department
stores. Our target was Bullock's in the Beverly Center shopping mall in Los Angeles.
This protest brought out members from many area animal rights groups, including
ARDAC, Orange County People for Animals (OCPA), Education and Action for Animals
(EAA) and Animal Emancipation (AE).
On that Sunday morning, a group of us
were willing to risk arrest to fight animal abuser. While a protest was held outside
the shopping mall, a group of activists entered the Beverly Center. Some went
into Bullock's, and locked themselves with Kryptonite bike locks to railings near
the escalators. Facts about the torture of the fur industry were read to any shoppers
near-by. Other activists formed a human chain across the entrance to Bullock's,
locking onto display signs, and to each other with heavy metal lock-boxes. Chanting,
"Fur is dead!", "Boycott Bullock's!", and "Bullock's
tortures animals!"
The police were ready for us, and Beverly Center
and Bullock's security were waiting, although they let us lock down before taking
any steps towards us. Soon we were surrounded, and the police began arresting
us. 17 activists were arrested that day in the Beverly Center, including 2 people
who were merely video taping the protest. We were loaded onto a bus and taken
away, still chanting through the windows.
The men
were taken to Parker Center, and the women to Van Nuys to be booked. We were all
feeling positive about the action until we were told that we were being charged
with not only trespassing, but conspiracy and felony burglary! As we tried to
understand what was happening we were strip searched, booked, and settled into
a cell with bail set at $15,000 each! We all made phone calls to our support people,
lawyers, jobs and family members. We called the bail commissioner to try and get
out bail reduced so we could be released on our own recognizance (OR). It looked
like we would be held until our arraignment.
Over the next 3 days our charges
were dropped to misdemeanors, and our bail dropped to $5,000 each. We did interviews
with the LA Times. We talked about the action, and wondered, over and over, how
this had happened! Despite the unpleasant circumstances, it sure made a hell of
a story!
On Tuesday evening we went before a judge and were all released
OR. Finally it was over, and we could go home. We were all relieved, and worn
out from our 3 day hunger strike. Of course it wasn't really over!
Charges eventually were dropped against 7 activists, including the
2 video takers. As we continued to make court appearances, 5 people took deals.
That left 5 people to go to trial, with 2 court appointed attorneys, 2 activists
represented by Larry Weiss, and one going pro per (meaning he represented himself).
The trial began on June 10th. We wanted to use the necessity defense which
argues our illegal actions were necessary to prevent a greater evil. In our case,
we needed to disrupt Bullock's to prevent their murdering animals and damaging
the environment. But the judge did not allow us to use the necessity defense.
The trial lasted about 4 days. The jury deliberated for about 3 hours, and returned
a verdict of guilty on the charge of trespass for all 5 of us.
On June 26th
the 2 men in the trial were sentenced to 3 years probation, 240 hours of community
service, a stay away from the Beverly Center and $30.34 restitution to Bullock's,
which they accepted. On July 11th the 3 women were sentenced. We refused to accept
probation, and were therefore sent to Sybil Brand (county jail) for 90 days. We
were taken to jail that day.
We spent the next 15 days
in jail, on a hunger strike, while support from all over the world strengthened
our resolve. Protests at the jail were held in the company of riot police, mounted
police, and professional video crews. In jail, we were questioned about our knowledge
of the protest plans of our supporters. We told them nothing. The whole jail went
into lock-down while the supporters were outside. A protest at the Beverly Center
resulted in 3 more arrests. Nationwide Federated protests were carried out. Knowing
how much support we had, and hearing about all the energy generated by our jailing
inspired all 3 of us, and helped us to keep our spirits up.
we first arrived, after being kept up all night for processing, we were put in
3 separate "dorms", with about 200 women in each. After hearing about
our hunger strike, however, we were interviewed by a deputy and nurse, and told
we were going to be housed in a separate area so they could monitor us medically.
What we did not know was that this "special area" was a lock-down area.
were told by other inmates that this was where the trouble makers were sent, for
fighting too much, or not being able to get along with other inmates, or talking
back to the guards. We were assured many times by the jail staff that we were
in "administrative segregation", and that we were NOT being punished.
Apparently not being punished included being kept in a 5' by 6' cell for at least
23 hours a day, not being able to use the phones or showers until we were let
out. It also included being kept in a very cold environment, and having large
[industry size] fans turned on at night when inmates were too loud, which blew
very cold air on us, and made enough noise to make sleeping impossible.
features of our new home included not being allowed cleaners or disinfectant to
clean our sinks and toilets, and roaches and mice roaming freely through our cells,
and on our beds at night. One inmate was taken to the infirmary while we were
there to be treated for a bite from a mouse. At least 2 other inmates on our cell
block were on high doses of antibiotics for highly contagious staph infections.
Although we weren't being punished, we were handcuffed whenever we had visitors,
a privilege that not all inmates were allowed. Inmates were treated with a total
lack of respect by most of the jail staff. We were also denied the juice 3 times
a day that we were promised by the infirmary. Other inmates on the cell block
informed us that their linens and clothing had not been exchanged for clean ones
in 3 weeks.
After a series of complaints
made by us, our supporters, and our lawyers, clean linens and clothing were provided,
although along with that we got our cells searched and emptied of such "contraband"
as extra blankets and personal items purchased at the commissary. The problem
with the fan being turned on was looked into, and we were informed that all inmates
on our block were supposed to be allowed 2 hours a day out of our cells. Despite
being in "lock-down" 23 hours a day, having very little access to phones,
fasting for 15 days, and being kept in a filthy jail, we remained strong. We made
some waves about the conditions in the jail, and sent a clear message to the judge
and Bullock's (now Macy's) that we would not be intimidated. There is no doubt
in my mind that we did the right thing.
The jail received hundreds of phone
calls about us, as did the Judge Schwartz. The judge was asked to release us OR
at sentencing, pending our appeal. He refused. He was asked to release us OR at
our bail hearing, or at least set a reasonable bail. He refused.
on July 25th, we went before the judge once again. He spoke to us about the hundreds
of phone calls, faxes and letters he had gotten about us. He actually quoted some
things from our supporters. He said he had sought out vegetarian and vegan friends
of his in order to educate himself about the issue. He claims to have called the
jail every day during our incarceration to make sure we were alright. He finally
released us OR pending appeal, and indicated that he would not require us to go
back to jail if we lost or dropped the appeal, providing we are not arrested again
before then!
So the LA 3 are now free, and trying to decide whether to pursue
our appeal. It would be wonderful to have another chance at using the necessity
defense. On the other hand, if the judge really means that he will not send us
back to jail by giving us time served if we lose or drop the appeal, then we would
be free from the watchful eye of Judge Schwartz. We are keeping in mind, however,
that when we go back before the judge, we might end up going back to jail to finish
our sentence.
This case has been an incredible experience. As an activist
who has strongly disliked going to court, and has not wanted to risk losing my
job, I am so glad that I chose to go through the trial, and refuse probation.
I am empowered, and my resolve has been strengthened. I know that I did the right
thing for myself and for the animals. I know there is nothing that the courts
can do to me that comes close to what the animals are put through every day. We
all learned a lot about our approach to actions, to lawyers, and to trials. We
learned about jail support, and we generated a lot of energy that I hope will
continue. As I write this, there are other animal rights activists in jail. Some
have been there for a long time, convicted of A.L.F. activities. Some have only
been there a few days, convicted of trespassing, as I was. All these activists
deserve our support, as do the animals. I hope you all will be inspired by the
dedication of those around you, and get out there and show it!

By: Robin Ford Wallace, Reporter
Sheriff Republican candidate Ray Cross got a chance at last week's political debate at Head River to set the record straight: He is not, either, promising a standoff with the federal government to defend Dade County's right to keep and bear arms.
"Several months ago, Obama signed into law that he could declare martial law in times of peace," Cross explained matter-of-factly to Dade's most remote voting precinct.
Cross was referring, apparently, to a populist frenzy started this March by an incendiary newsletter from Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger of Texas. Ms. Granger, whose claims about martial law were based upon a colorful misinterpretation of a routine emergency preparedness executive order, withdrew them in a newsletter dated April 30.
But Cross, who was answering an audience question about what evidence he had that the federal government was planning an invasion of Dade, used the martial law threat as the basis for his stance. As sheriff, he would do all he could to keep the federal government from depriving the county of its guns in such an eventuality, or any of its other rights, said Cross. "That's what I meant by that statement, not that I'm going to stand up and be a David Koresh against the federal government," he said.
He'd never said word one about fighting the Feds to the death, said Cross. "I wish the news media would make direct quotes of what we say as candidates," he said.
The Sentinel is happy to oblige. Here comes one now, from the Sentinel's digital recording of Cross's clarification:
"I strongly believe that our federal government, with the Obama administration, would love to come in and do away with our guns."
The Oct. 2 debate, as might perhaps already have manifested, was lively and well attended, and moderator Mike Hollingsworth flipped through the stack of audience questions with obvious dismay. "I don't feel that some of these questions need to be asked," he said.
So audience members dispensed with formality and stood up to ask them themselves. It made for an informal atmosphere and candidates likewise posed their own questions to other candidates, while coroner incumbent Johnny Gray, though his challenger for the post, Danny Hall, was not even present, dived into discussion after discussion with interesting anecdotes about over-prescribing doctors, doc-shopping users, the drug deaths they cause and the secret force of "gun-toting pharmacists" the government sends to sniff them out.
It was a splashy show, and as at earlier debates the sheriff's race was the standout act, with some of the same old questions asked – see accompanying articles – but a few new ones, too. One audience member asked why Head River so seldom sees a patrol car: "Are we that good and have no law breakers up here, or are we just forgotten?"
Philip Street, who was Dade's sheriff for 20 years before losing to present Sheriff Patrick Cannon in 2004, and is now the Democratic contender, answered that yes, probably Head River had been forgotten. It wouldn't be under his administration, though, when Lookout Mountain like Dade's other precincts would be patrolled by an officer dedicated to that zone, with a floating supervisor to give backup without pulling other deputies from their own assigned areas.
The scheme sounded familiar, and not just to the Sentinel: "I came up with that plan back in January when I started running for sheriff," protested Ray Cross.
Cross told Head River it was just as important as anyplace else in the county. "When I was on duty, I was up here at least twice a day," he said.
Cross co-narrated with one resident the story of how he had helped solve a burglary at the man's home. He had more hands-on law enforcement experience than Street, he said, solving burglaries, working accidents and holding people in his arms as they died. "I've been in a patrol car from '93 until just a few months ago," he said. "Every part that a sheriff's done, I've done, except being a sheriff."
Audience members were generous with their applause for Cross, but less gentle with Street. Have you ever had an inmate walk off? they asked him. (Answer: Yes.) Have you ever been under investigation yourself? (Answer: No.) What about all the lawsuits filed under your leadership? (Answer: "Stuff happens," and "It's totally out of our control.") Well, were similar lawsuits filed against your successor, Patrick Cannon? (Answer: Ask the county attorney.)
Another question was: "You claim that you have learned from your past mistakes. What mistakes have you made that you've learned from?"
Street replied that he had always been too good for his own good. "Folks that I depended on that didn't take care of stuff that they should have taken care of" he should have dealt more firmly with, said the once-and-would-be future sheriff, instead of "being the compassionate person I am" and "giving them the benefit of the doubt."
Possibly this was a reference to the lawsuit question, but coming from a sheriff whose very supporters tend to express their approval along he-made-the-trains-run-on-time lines, the insight into Street's self-perception as an old softie packed arguably as much audience astonishment value as Cross's calm conspiracy theorizing.
"Hate me or love me, I had a reputation of being tough on drugs and thieves," the candidate himself expressed the Street mystique. "I'll continue to be tough on drug dealers and thieves."
The sheriff candidates sparred as always about matters budgetary. Cross pointed out as a new sheriff he would cost the county less per annum than has Cannon, who has had raises, though Cross did not know how much the sheriff's base salary was. (Answer: $58,800, according to the board of elections when qualifying fees were posted in January.)
Street said all county employees deserved a raise, and that starting deputies who were married with children routinely qualified for food stamps. "That's very, very sad," he said.
For the Georgia House of Representatives District 1 race, Republican candidate John Deffenbaugh seemed a little more prepped than at their previous debate to talk education alongside schoolteacher Tom McMahan, the Democratic contender. Discussion was general, though, with little disagreement aired between the two.
Fielding a question on the proposed Charter School Amendment, which he strongly opposes, McMahan explained that local boards of education already had the power to create charter schools as needed. He said the amendment would give the state the privilege to create a new kind of charter school that local school boards did not control. "The idea is to sort of privatize our schools, to allow companies to make a profit off them," he said.
Deffenbaugh had less to say against the amendment but said he saw no point for charter schools in Dade County. "I think we'd be better off to work within the system," he said.
Deffenbaugh said yes, local control of the schools was important, and added that the federal government had too much control as things stood. But he stressed the value of education in general and asked the sheriff candidates: "What is the degree of people in jail who don't have a high school degree?" He said investing in education fights crime. "It means spending more money on the early end rather than the jail end," he said.
Again, Democrat Johnny Gray was the only coroner candidate in evidence but he managed to weigh in on most issues nonetheless, including parenting – "You have to use tough love. I've seen the end result of what happens if you don't let your kid go to jail" – and high grass on state right-of-ways – "It's a safety issue. I haven't worked a death yet but it's coming."
He urged Head River residents concerned about Georgia not mowing grass on its roads to call State Sen. Jeff Mullis, or to fire up their weed-eaters.
The next local debate is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday at the West Brow community center.

Onward Chambers
Onward Chambers is next to Barclay's Bank, the signage over the door could easily be missed... anyone got any ideas about what this building was?
The building with the arched doorway facing and the square bay windows is now Barclay's, the doorway to Onward Chambers can just be made out opposite the tram.

Rating: 5 / 5
This line of packs in three different models, each in small, medium and large suspension, is possibly best value available for internal frame packs.They come in 40 liters, 50+ and 70 liters and are dirt cheap and extremenly light, functional, simple and well-made. I have the 50+ but in hindsight might prefer the 40L size at $89 Canadian.
Rating: 3 / 5
I dunno what the other reviewer is thinking. The Brio is an entry level pack that is not intended to be light weight at all. It weighs 2.1kg (4.5lbs) for the 50 liter (3000c"). A similar pack but designed to be lightweight could weigh almost half of that (ie. GoLite Pursuit)These packs are very affordably priced but that's all they have going for them.
