text: Stabbing of Calif. Girl, 8, Looks Intentional: Sheriff Authorities say Leila Fowler wasn't killed in course of botched robbery By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Apr 30, 2013 11:40 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (8) (Newser) – Authorities are still looking for the man who murdered 8-year-old Leila Fowler in her California home Saturday afternoon, and the county sheriff says the stabbing appears to have been intentional—and not part of a botched robbery or other crime. The sheriff didn't elaborate, USA Today reports. Valley Springs, located 115 miles east of San Francisco, was put on lockdown in the immediate aftermath of the third-grader's murder, and many parents are still keeping their children indoors: Schools in the area have an increased security presence, and 92 students at Fowler's elementary school were absent yesterday—more than triple the normal number, the Modesto Bee reports. Investigators are also interviewing registered sex offenders in the area, WPTV reports, though it's not clear yet if sexual assault was involved. Complicating matters is the fact that police have two different descriptions, one from Leila's 12-year-old brother, who saw the intruder before finding his sister, and the other from a second possible witness. (The brother, who was baby-sitting Leila when she was murdered, is not a suspect.) A former FBI profiler says it's unlikely the killing was random or committed by a stranger. "I would think it would be somebody who has some kind of connection with the home," he tells Fox 40. "You might think there is some sort of anger issue there."

One challenge with public participation today is the fact that issues often tend to get fairly complex, even at the local level. In order for participants to be able to lead an informed discussion, they need to have a minimum understanding of the topics at hand.
To help achieve this goal, it has traditionally been the convener's responsibility to provide the participants with "complete, unbiased information".
Our alpha version already supports this basic requirement. A resource library allows the facilitator to share links to relevant online documents and websites and provide some context where needed.
Over time, we want to make information sharing and learning on Zilino a lot more collaborative and a lot more social. Here's what I wrote back in March of 2009:
We often talk about the obvious shortcomings of e-participation as compared to face-to-face engagement. In this case, however, I see a lot of opportunities how web-based tools could be used to allow the participants to collaboratively improve the quality and completeness of the informational materials provided, in ways that could ultimately strengthen the credibility of the organizer/sponsor or convener organization.
Instead of being strictly a consumer of information, the new participant takes on additional roles such as researcher, editor, curator etc. in ways that help educate the group as a whole.

Lima climate talks at crossroads on ways to slow warming
LIMA (Reuters) – About 190 nations faced a crossroads Friday on how boldly to fight global warming as United Nations talks in Lima went into overtime amid concerns that watered-down goals could undermine a U.N. climate summit in Paris next year.
Representatives at the talks, which opened on Dec. 1 with hopes for momentum following a climate deal last month between China and the United States, were split over issues including greenhouse gas cuts and new cash to help poor nations cope with a warming world.
Column: Sustainable investing gets clearer legal backing
LONDON (Reuters) – The body that reviews British law has sought to remove all doubt that investors can target more-sustainable companies, but is less clear-cut over an environmental campaign against fossil fuel investment.
While trillions of dollars of assets globally are invested according to environmental, social or governance (ESG) criteria, the legal grounds for doing so have been remarkably uncertain.
Sustainable investing gets clearer legal backing: Wynn
LONDON, Nov 7 (Reuters) – The body that reviews British law
has sought to remove all doubt that investors can target
more-sustainable companies, but is less clear-cut over an
environmental campaign against fossil fuel investment.
While trillions of dollars of assets globally are invested
according to environmental, social or governance (ESG) criteria,
the legal grounds for doing so have been remarkably uncertain.
Harvard deals blow to fossil fuel divestment campaign:Wynn
LONDON, Oct 31 (Reuters) – Harvard's decision to keep buying
into the fossil fuel industry through its $32.7 billion
investment fund – the world's biggest – is a blow to a
divestment campaign also navigating legal uncertainty among
performance-driven fund managers.
Environmental groups driving the a divestment movement argue
that most fossil fuels must not be burned if the world is to
avoid the worst effects of climate change – a threat to the
value of energy companies which own coal, oil and gas reserves.
Housing upgrades best 1st step to cut energy bills: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 24 (Reuters) – Taxpayer- or consumer-funded
incentive programmes to push all private homeowners in Britain
and the United States to improve energy efficiency are likely to
produce savings in energy bills that far exceed their cost,
besides cutting carbon emissions.
So far, governments have targeted efficiency programmes on
social housing and have left private homeowners to pay for their
own improvements – except for some complicated, voluntary
schemes that have had few takers.
EU, U.S. carbon emissions on downward trend: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) – Both European Union and U.S.
carbon emissions have fallen sharply over the past five years,
but working out whether that will continue requires teasing out
short-term and one-off factors, and pinpointing lasting
efficiency gains.
Some causes are temporary or one-off: clearly, over the last
several years energy demand was lower as a result of the
financial crisis; while the weather can have a large impact,
including a mild 2011/2012 winter in the United States.
British nuclear embrace fails to convince: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Britain's investment in new
nuclear power is a result of a previous decision to limit the
country's options, and depends on an argument for energy
security that fails to convince.
Britain has ruled out new coal power and adopted tough
carbon emissions targets as well as a carbon tax on energy,
given concerns about climate change.
UK review of energy efficiency scheme shows desperation: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters) – British government plans to
review payments for making homes more energy-efficient are
political posturing – an attempt to show concern over rising
electricity bills, but sounding more like desperation.
Efficiency should be the centrepiece of efforts to curb
households' energy costs, not a victim.
Falling solar costs allow a new approach to subsidies: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 16 (Reuters) – Falling costs for European
roof-top solar power combined with rising utility tariffs allow
a new approach to lower subsidies – where households and
business no longer need to be paid for the solar power they
consume themselves.
Until recently, it has always been more profitable to sell
one's own solar energy back into the system overall, thanks to
the premium, subsidised prices set for such energy to make
investment in solar panels worthwhile.
German renewable energy support is poor value: Wynn
LONDON, Oct 15 (Reuters) – Germany's cost for upgrading its
grid to bring in more wind and solar power exceeds the monetary
benefits it receives from savings on fossil fuel and avoiding
the damage caused by global warming.
Once the net cost of a multi-billion-euro subsidy programme
is thrown in, then Germany's renewable energy policy seems to be
poor value for money.

Having already blogged about Denmark's excellent Forbrydelsen, it's time to introduce you to more Danish televisual excellence, this time in the form of a political drama called Borgen. Now that Sarah Lund has entered the British Zeitgeist (this AbFab skit is brilliant), it seems that BBC4 is keen to continue to scour Scandinavia for cool stuff.
The series tells the story of Birgitte Nyborg, a female politician who navigates around Macchiavelli to become prime minister of Denmark. There's not much more to say than that, only that it deftly portrays the machinations of European coalition politics and makes its characters believably human, i.e. they do human and not TV-human things. I physically applauded at the end of the second episode, which is an RJH sign that something is good. Fans of The Killing II will be delighted to see the return of the actor who played Strange, Lund's sidekick. Man crush alert.
Borgen shows on LinkTV. Alas, a US remake is apparently on the cards.
I can't find an embeddable trailer anywhere. Follow this link instead.

BSC coaches predict Eagle men fifth and women eighth at this season's cross country championships
The Eastern Washington University men's and women's cross country teams open their season as they head to Moscow, Idaho to compete at the Clash of the Inland Northwest Saturday (Sept. 4).
The meet will be held at Virgil Phillips Farm County Park. The women's 5,000-meter race will begin at 10 a.m., and the men's 8,000-meter race will start at 10:45 a.m.
The Eagle men return five athletes including junior standout Kyle King (Coupeville, Wash.) who placed 18th at the 2009 Big Sky Conference Championship in Greely, Colo. Other returners are senior and team captain Bowe Ebding (Walla Walla, Wash.), junior Cody Barton (Ridgefield, Wash.), sophomore Jordan Curnutt (Spokane, Wash.) and sophomore Simon Sorenson (Issaquah, Wash.).
"I'm really excited to see what our men can do this season," said cross country coach Chris Zeller. "Kyle will once again be our top guy, Bowe is back from a foot injury, and I really think Cody and Simon will fill a void that Alex Smyth left."
The veterans are joined by three incoming freshmen: Alex Avila (Salem, Ore.), Quin Olivas (Kennewick, Wash.) and Connor Williams (Deming, Wash.).
Avila placed fourth in the 5,000 meters at the State 3A Championships, where he helped North Central High School clinch its fourth-straight team title.
From Southridge High School, Olivas ran his best time on a 5,000-meter course his senior year, running 16:21.48.
Williams attended the cross country state championships for three-straight years while running for Mount Baker High School. His best finish came his junior year as he placed 23rd and ran a time of 16:33.0 on a 5,000 meter course.
The men's team lost Alex Smyth, who finished 23rd at the BSC Championships last season.
The women return seven athletes, including junior Stephanie Dye, who was Eastern's top finisher at the 2009 BSC Championships, running 21:49.9 and finishing 44th to better her 2008 finish of 45th.
Other returners are Sarah Alvick (Vancouver, Wash.), Hannah Chertock (Kirkland, Wash.), Kelly Downey, (Omak, Wash.), Jessi Johnson (Clarkston, Wash.), Ari Rios (Spokane, Wash.) and Brittney Williams (Colville, Wash.).
The women's team nearly tripled its size, adding 17 incoming athletes to its 2010 roster. Incoming standouts include junior transfer Britt Henderson (Vancouver, Wash.), freshman Monica Jaenicke (Auburn, Wash.) and freshman Angelica Rodriguez (Hermiston, Ore.).
"We have a plethora of new faces this season and I know some of them will rise to the top in coming years," said Zeller.
A transfer from Clark College, Henderson placed fourth at the NWAACC Cross Country Championships during her sophomore year, where she ran 18:58 on a 5,000-meter course.
Jaenicke qualified for the State 4A Cross Country Championships three times while in high school. Her best state performance came during her senior year, when she placed 24th.
"I'm excited to see what Monica can do as a freshman," said Zeller.
During Rodriguez's single year of participating in cross country, she placed second at the Oregon State 5A Cross Country Championships, running 19:09.0 on a 5,000-meter course.
"Angelica has a ton of range," said Zeller. "She is so versatile and will be a huge contribution on the cross country course."
Other newcomers are Courtney Anthony (Spokane, Wash.), Tessa Cosand (Auburn, Wash.), Danielle Grams (Cashmere, Wash.), Christie Gradados (West Covina, Calif.), Megan Inman (Spokane, Wash.), Amy Kolin (Ypsilanti, Mich.), Carina Leon (Pasco, Wash.), Kimberly Macias (Hermiston, Ore.), Mallory McDonald (Shoreline, Wash.), Senaida Monroy (Spokane, Wash.), Danielle Raschko (Bickleton, Wash.), Micaela Rasmussen (Lakewood, Wash.) and Kari Wirtz (Spokane, Wash.).
"As host of the championships, I think we have put together solid teams that will do a great job representing Eastern Washington University," said Zeller.
The men's team was picked fifth and the women eighth in the 2010 BSC cross country preseason polls. Both the men and women from Northern Arizona have been selected to win the crown at this year's championships, which will be hosted by EWU on Oct. 30 at the Fairways Golf Course, in Spokane, Wash.

"We awarded Sun Print Management the opportunity to support our existing laser printer fleet and replace our existing copier lease because we knew of many satisfied hospitals on their program. To say we were skeptical in the beginning is an understatement. From the low per page price to the no lease MFP offering, we saw nothing from their competition that came close. After five years, we are happy to report that Sun Print Management exceeded the expectations they set by a long way!"

The Nike P-Rod 6 skate shoe designed with comfort in mind like the 5 with some small changes that make all the difference in the world. The P-Rod 6 is upgraded with more breathable siding featuring a TPU reinforced suede upper that's soft and flexible, yet ultra durable. A low ammount of stitching means a low amount of ripping and a Lunarlon cushioned insole means that Nike decided to cushion the 6's with the same stuff they use in their running shoes.

I just wanted to say thank you for two uplifting stories in the Sunday Reporter paper on June 23, 2013.
The one "Sharing the eyes of age" by Keith Hellwig was such a touching story of friendship he had with Del Shea. We need to read more stories about people who touched our lives in simple ways.
This is like a comfort to the soul story that helps us make sense of what is going on in this turbulent world today.
The other story, "Open doors" by Laurie Ritger makes us feel pride in our community that we can elect a person for what they stand for and believe in.
I just wanted to write and say thank you for these touching articles.

AMTK: Collaborative Paintings by Andrew Mazorol & Tyman KerrJuxtapoz // Thursday, December 01, 2011
Sometimes, painting can be lonely. Some people revel in this solitary condition. However, you can also get frustrated, caught in your own thoughts, and it could really help to have a buddy there with you to pull you through those mental blocks.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA - A teenage boy was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman and girl within hours on a Foothill Farms street Monday, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department said.
Sgt. Jason Ramos said around 8:30 a.m. a 19-year-old woman walking near Brett and Vogelsang drives was knocked to the ground by the 13-year-old boy. The boy then climbed on top of her and grabbed her private parts, Ramos said. A witness saw the assault and chased the boy away.
Around 3:30 p.m. the same day, a 10-year-old girl walking a few blocks away, near Stonehurst Way and Walerga Road, from the first assault was pushed to the ground by the teen. He, again, got on top of the girl and grabbed at her private parts, Ramos said. A person driving in the area saw the assault and took the teen off the girl.
Ramos said the teen was later found by officers and identified by the victims. The 13-year-old boy was booked into Sacramento County Juvenile Hall for felony charges to commit rape.
Resident Jim Bailey said, "The kid definitely has problems."
"It just blows me away, somebody so young would do such a thing," resident Erin Peterson said.
Dr. Andrew Mendonsa, a psychologist said the 13-year-old suspect could easily become a repeat offender.
"Essentially, kids who begin anti-social behavior before the age of 13, it's called childhood onset," Mendonsa said. "The prognosis is quite poor for them. So basically, what we see of kids in that particular category is that they continue to engage in criminal activity throughout their life."

Travis Philp wrote: I just built a bed in august, and immediately planted radish, fava beans, wax beans, turnips, and rapini. There were no added fertilizers, manures, or other nutrient inputs. All we used were logs, with twigs piled on top, then upturned sod ontop of that, and about 5-6 inches of sandy depleted soil to finish it off. The growth of the crops mentioned above has been in keeping with what I would expect out of a manured garden. My understanding is that if you have a layer of branches/twigs on top of the larger logs, the branches will start leaching nutrients quickly enough for your crops to use.

WNPJ's Carbon Free, Nuclear Free Campaign
Submitted by staff on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 11:38am
Join WNPJ's Carbon Free Nuclear Free campaign!
Wisconsin can build an energy future that gives us affordable power, creates jobs and improves our environment. So why gamble on costly nuclear reactors that generate radioactive waste?
Wisconsin can be carbon free and nuclear free -- if we demand it!
Please click here to sign up for free email updates on our Carbon Free, Nuclear Free campaign. Read below for more information, or contact the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice at firstname.lastname@example.com or 608-250-9240.
Repeatedly, the nuclear industry and its supporters in the state legislature have tried to remove the common-sense safeguards Wisconsin places on nuclear reactors. State law requires that, before a new nuclear reactor can be built here, there must be a federally-licensed repository for the high-level radioactive waste and the electricity must not place an undue financial burden on our residents and businesses.
Our Carbon Free, Nuclear Free campaign works to maintain these nuclear safeguards and supports the expansion of renewable energy and a greater commitment to energy efficiency in Wisconsin.
State legislature
Despite the tragic nuclear disaster in Japan, Wisconsin state Representative Mark Honadel, the chair of the Assembly Committee on Energy and Utilities, says he still plans to introduce a bill to repeal Wisconsin's radioactive waste and cost safeguards on new nuclear reactors in the near future.
So we need you to take action. Today!
Please call your Representative and Senator, via the legislative hotline at 1-800-362-9472. Or, you can find your legislators and their office numbers online, at waml.legis.state.wi.us
Past sessions
In the 2009-2010 Wisconsin legislative session, there were two measures that would have gutted our safeguards on new nuclear reactors.
Assembly Bill 516 / Senate Bill 340 would have completely repealed our nuclear safeguards. While this bill died in committee, it received more sponsors than any previous repeal measure -- 25 Representatives and 10 Senators!
The Clean Energy Jobs Act (Senate Bill 450 / Assembly Bill 649) would have also gutted our nuclear safeguards, by removing the requirement for a radioactive waste repository and easing the financial requirements.
Because the Clean Energy Jobs Act (CEJA) also contained important provisions furthering energy efficiency and renewable energy in Wisconsin, our Carbon Free, Nuclear Free coalition worked for months to craft language to add to CEJA that would shore up our nuclear safeguards, and to find legislators to introduce and support the language.
Unfortunately, the final version of CEJA was even more pro-nuclear, while its good renewable, energy efficiency and transportation provisions were watered down significantly. We reluctantly decided to oppose CEJA.
CEJA died at the end of the session, without receiving votes on the Senate or Assembly floor, due to big business opposition and internal politics.
That means that Wisconsin legislators will be working in future sessions to craft our energy future -- and the repeal effort will likely continue. So your representatives need to hear from you!
Contact your state representatives!
Please call your state Representative and Senator and tell them that nuclear energy isn't clean and shouldn't be included in future clean energy bills! Please also tell them that you want Wisconsin's restrictions on new nuclear reactors to be kept intact!
You can look up your legislators and their direct office numbers online, here. Or you can call the Capitol switchboard at 1-800-362-9472 and ask to be connected with their offices.
Thank you for taking action! Constituent phone calls and letters really do make a difference.

Steelers' Smith showcases intensity
Steelers/NFL Videos
It was hours before kickoff, and Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer was still in sweatpants as he warmed up at Paul Brown Stadium.
Despite the relaxed atmosphere, Palmer was so perturbed after Anthony Smith accidentally bumped into him that Palmer stopped what he was doing just to glare at the Steelers free safety. After Smith had finished talking with Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson -- he had sought out the perennial Pro Bowler to remind him to wear his mouthpiece during the game -- Palmer said to Johnson, "Who is that?"
The story is significant for two reasons: Palmer certainly knew who Smith was after the Steelers had beaten the Bengals, 24-13. And defensive backs coach Ray Horton, who saw Palmer's stare-down, never would have told Smith about it a year or even a month ago, because it might have consumed the second-year professional and cost the Steelers at some point during the game.
"He is growing up. He's maturing. He's understanding that you can't just be a hothead all the time," Horton said of Smith. "If this kid were on another team, he'd be a star."
Smith has certainly had the look of one when he has gotten extended playing time.
Making his second start of the season on Sunday, Smith led the Steelers with eight tackles, and he laid several big licks on Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati's other prized wideout.
With Ryan Clark still recovering from a spleen condition -- he didn't practice Wednesday, and the Steelers are leaning toward resting the sixth-year veteran for another week -- Smith is expected to start Monday night against the Ravens.
The grudge match that should take place at Heinz Field is well suited for Smith, since there is always plenty of hitting and jawing between the fierce AFC North rivals.
He can come across as quiet off the field, but put the former Syracuse standout in a helmet and pads, and the transformation is "Jekyll and Hyde," Smith said with a smile.
Indeed, his mouth runs almost as fast as his legs when he is on the field, and Smith never stops trying to satisfy the constant cravings he apparently has for collisions.
"Once I get on the field you can't tell me anything," said Smith, a third-round draft pick by the Steelers in 2006. "I'm trying to hit everything."
The intensity that makes him a devastating hitter has also gotten the better of him at times, and Horton ticked off some of the transgressions that set Smith back as he battled Clark for the starting job at free safety during training camp.
"Kicking balls, throwing balls, yelling at guys," Horton said. "In this game, you have to have focused aggression."
Horton said he flatly told Smith during training camp that he wouldn't play if he didn't learn to control his temper.
Clark won the starting job in large part because he was more disciplined than Smith on the field but Horton said the latter has made considerable strides in channeling his considerable aggression.
Smith, however, said he hasn't really changed.
"They just got used to it, really," he said of the coaches.
There is no disputing that Smith is a playmaker, as evidenced by the two interceptions he had in four starts last season and the game he had against the Bengals.
Smith, who usually shares time with Clark at free safety, does most of his hitting in the secondary, but Horton said the 5-foot-11, 192-pounder could also be a dangerous pass rusher.
The Steelers simply don't blitz much with their free safeties -- they usually stay back in coverage -- since strong safety Troy Polamalu moves around so frequently.
"If we didn't have Troy," said Horton, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, "this kid would be a dominant blitzer. I've told him to look at (Eagles All-Pro safety) Brian Dawkins, because this kid is that type of player. He's a big, strong, fast, tough kid that can catch."

Conservation Easement Proposed for the Manley Ranch
On my way back to Missoula from a meeting in Helmville last week, I stopped by the Game Range for just a minute, partly to see how many elk and deer had been reported at the check station, and also to see if Joe or R. S. had begun work replacing the back of the hayshed that blew out last spring.
I found R. S. hard at it, digging post holes for the framing. He took time out to describe his plan for the project, and after a few minutes of visiting I got back in the truck and hustled on my way. The situation prompted a flashback to a time long ago when I was in a position quite similar to R. S.'s.
It was when my boss and I were fully occupied in a hole we were digging to find and repair a break in a buried water line. Conditions could have been better. It was snowing. And, the line was located in a rock patch. And, our hole was filling rapidly with the leaking water, which necessitated that we roll up our sleeves and submerge our arms to their pits in the frigid slush.
Opportunity for a welcome respite came when the boss's boss drove up. He was an office man, so work would halt as long as he wanted to talk things over. It lasted a few minutes, and then his truck was pulling away again. My boss was not prone to philosophizing, but that moment before we plunged back into the water and mud prompted one of his most succinct and enduring observations.
"They come, they watch, and they go."
Lately, I guess I've been the one who watches and goes, if I even stop in the first place. So, it's nice when there is cause to bring one of my better excuses to light.
I've been working with Dan Hook, John Firebaugh and several other specialists at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) on the possibility for a conservation easement on the Manley Ranch. And finally, after years of consideration and the past ten months of focused effort, FWP is proud to bring a fleshed out project proposal to your attention.
If you've driven the dirt track between Helmville and Drummond, then you already well appreciate why FWP has been interested in a conservation easement on the Manley Ranch for so long. The Manley Ranch accounts for most of the scenery on the trip, spanning 16,000 acres between the Garnets and Hoodoos. Its sagebrush-grasslands are winter range for elk and mule deer. Its forests are spring-summer-fall range for elk, deer and a wide diversity of native wildlife, in an unspoiled, natural setting.
But, make no mistake about it. Manleys' is a working cattle ranch, and has been for longer than anyone living can remember. And, the Manley family is taking bold steps to ensure that the future brings more of the same for their children and grandchildren.
Which is why a conservation easement is a perfect fit for FWP and the Manley Ranch. By purchasing an easement, FWP can ensure that the wildlife habitat we take for granted today will never be subdivided and developed, no matter who comes to own the property in the future. The proposed easement would also guarantee public access for hunting.
For the Manley family, the proposed easement is a tool in estate planning that will help the current owners successfully navigate inheritance barriers in the future. The easement would leave the land completely in private ownership, with the working ranch working in full. And, no one more fiercely wants to guard their ranch against residential subdivision than the Manleys.
Basically, FWP would gain the main benefits of public ownership, but at a fraction of the cost of fee-title purchase, and without the day to day obligations of property management and maintenance. Even so, a fraction of the fee-title purchase price of 16,000 acres is still a lot of money. Which is why it took so long for FWP and the Manleys to work out a practical plan for acquiring this easement.
The proposed solution is a page borrowed from the Blackfoot-Clearwater Game Range 50th Anniversary Project. FWP and the Manleys agreed to carve the overwhelming goal into workable phases. The proposed project that is now available for public review and comment is Phase I, encompassing the first 4,600 acres.
Another strategy borrowed from the 50th Anniversary Project is partnership. Phase I has attracted funding interest from the Montana Agricultural Heritage Commission and the Montana Natural Resource Damage Program. Completion of Phase I is contingent on FWP's success in securing these funds, so that FWP dollars can be conserved for possible development of a future Phase II.
You can obtain a copy of the draft environmental assessment by calling FWP at 542-5500. Internet surfers can view it on FWP's home page (www.fwp.state.mt.us). The public comment period is from November 1-30, including a public hearing at the Helmville Community Center on November 13 at 6:30 P.M.
Thanks to the generosity of the Manley family, who have a agreed to donate a substantial portion of the appraised easement value, we all stand to benefit from the promise of wildlife habitat and the opportunity to enjoy its bounty in perpetuity. And, thanks to this project, I've been able to rationalize my absence from lots of less glamorous labor for quite some time now.
