As Del Wiedemann toured the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center in Manhattan with his wife, Pat, his enthusiasm could scarcely be contained. From the Center's molecular breeding laboratories, to row-after-row of environmental growth chambers, to the custom-built greenhouse complex, the Innovation Center symbolizes a new future for the nation's wheat industry.
"The word that comes to mind is what teenagers say, and that's 'awesome'," said Wiedeman, a Wakeeney farmer who served on the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers board of directors in the 1980s and was president of the National Association of Wheat Growers in 1990.
Wiedeman was one of nearly 30 past KAWG directors and Kansas Wheat Commissioners who visited the KWIC on Feb. 9. The goal of the first-ever "Wheat Leaders Reunion" was to re-engage those whose leadership shaped the current Kansas wheat industry with a building that, indirectly, they helped create.
Cooperation between KAWG and the KWC has been vital to the strength of the Kansas wheat industry in the past. That the two groups led the building of the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center is impressive, said Ernie Schlatter, a Lebanon farmer who served on the Kansas Wheat Commission in the 2000s.
The tour participants learned how doubled haploid wheat research being conducted at the KWIC will lead to quicker development of wheat varieties suited for Kansas farmers. This research, and future research projects in the Center's 25,000 square feet of laboratory and greenhouse space, has the potential to boost wheat yields and improve efficiency of wheat farmers.

Beef Cattle Winter Water Needs Complicated this Year
Many area ponds are low due to the short rainfall during 2012. As cold weather approaches and shallow ponds freeze, there is concern among cattle producers about meeting the water needs of their cattle.
"Some farmers are already hauling water so it's a good idea to know how much water different classes of cattle need each day," said Eldon Cole, a livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
Water requirements vary depending on the cattle's size, lactation status, ration they are eating and ambient temperature. Growing heifers, steers and bulls weighing 600 pounds require 5.3 gallons of water a day when the average ambient temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheiht.
As the temperature goes up to 50 degrees, water needs increase slightly to 5.8 gallons per head per day. Intake at temperatures below 40 degrees does not change much.
Pregnant cows need 6 to 6.5 gallons at 40 degrees. Following calving, those same cow's intake for water jumps to roughly 11.5 gallons per day at 40 degrees and 12.6 gallons at 50 degrees.
Mature bulls require around 8.5 gallons per day at 40 degrees and below needs increase to 9.4 gallons per head at 50 degrees.
According to Cole, the moisture level of an animal's diet varies and that can influence actual water intake.
"A lot of high moisture haylage and silage will be fed in the coming months. The haylage may contain 50 percent moisture and an animal eating 25 pounds of it per day will consume about 12.5 pounds of moisture. This reduces the actual water need by about 1.5 gallons," said Cole.
Silage contains around 65 to 70 percent moisture and intake by cows may run in the 40 to 50 pound per day range, or even more. That adds up to over 30 pounds of moisture which amounts to nearly 4 gallons of water.
"In some areas cattle may be grazing pasture that contains around 50 percent moisture that helps reduce the actual gallons per day required," said Cole.
Cattle are sometimes given a supplement containing 10 to 30 percent plain white salt that allows them to be self-fed. Under these conditions, cattle may drink 50 percent or more water so be certain ponds, streams or other water sources provide ample water.
"Frozen water is less a concern now than in years gone by, thanks to the large number of automatic waters we now see in pastures. If you still rely on ponds, make sure after a cold snap that cattle have access to water daily," said Cole.
"I did a blog last summer on using the low or no water in an older pond as an opportunity to renovate or clean out the accumulated silt without having to drain the pond by opening the dam," said Jim Jarman, agronomy specialist.

Woodward, Lemon to speak at Alabama
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Two award-winning journalists are coming next week to the campus of the University of Alabama.
Don Lemon, a CNN newsroom anchor, and Bob Woodward, associate editor of the Washington Post, will speak at separate events that are free and open to the public.
Lemon will speak at 6 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Ferguson Center theater. Guests can register for free tickets online at uaferguson.tix.com. After his speech, Lemon will sign copies of his book, "Transparent," which will be available for purchase.
Lemon began working for CNN in 2006 and anchors the CNN Newsroom during weekend prime time. He has won an Emmy for a report on real estate, an Edward R. Murrow Award for coverage of the Washington, D.C., snipers and other awards for his reporting on the AIDS epidemic in Africa and Hurricane Katrina.
Woodward's speech will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 22 in the Sellers Auditorium at the Bryant Conference Center, 240 Paul W. Bryant Drive.
Woodward has worked at the Washington Post since 1971 and has written or co-written 17 books, all of them nonfiction best sellers.
He and Carl Bernstein teamed up to cover the Watergate scandal, which earned the Post the Pulitzer Prize in 1973. He was also the lead reporter for the Post's Pulitizer Prize winning coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Woodward is the speaker in the Gloria and John L. Blackburn Academic Symposium Lecture under the auspices of UA's Blackburn Institute, a leadership development organization.
Lemon's speech is part of "Through the Doors," a yearlong series of events commemorating the 50th anniversary since the desegregation of UA in 1963. For more information about the commemoration, visit www.throughthedoors.ua.edu.

Hypoxylon canker of hardwoods
Tree species affected: Hardwoods, especially the red oak group
Concerns: Early leaf browning, branch dieback, bark sloughing, death
Description: Hypoxylon canker is a common disease of hardwoods, especially species in the red oak group. This disease is caused by the fungus Biscogniauxia atropunctata. It is often one of several factors ultimately responsible for tree death. A disease of the inner bark and sapwood, Hypoxylon damages tissues used by the tree to conduct water from soil to the leaves. Vigorous, healthy trees are colonized by the fungus, but only damaged or stressed trees develop cankers and are killed. Outbreaks of this disease follow severe drought.
Symptoms and Signs: Initial symptoms of the disease include a noticeable thinning of the crown, small patches of brown leaves, and branch dieback. As the disease advances, large areas of bark fall off the branches and trunk, revealing a thick, dusty fungal mat with tan spores (Figure 1). Eventually the fungus turns silver or grey as it matures, giving the appearance of thick paint on the side of the tree (Figure 2). Old infections may appear black. Black zone lines may appear in the sapwood as rapid decay occurs, leaving the tree in a very brittle state (Figure 3).
Recommendation: Unfortunately, there is no treatment for Hy-poxylon canker. Once a tree is showing symptoms of the disease, it is too late—the tree will die. Healthy trees are often already col-onized by the Hypoxylon fungus, so removing infected trees may not protect nearby trees. However, in high traffic and residential areas, remove infected trees as soon as possible to avoid damage caused by falling limbs. Firewood from trees infected with Hypoxylon canker is safe to burn. Firewood movement should only occur locally to prevent movement of invasive forest pests.
Prevention: Maintaining tree vigor is the best way to prevent Hypoxylon canker. Practice good forest management. Avoid damaging trees during construction and logging activities. Water high-value trees during drought periods.

Roelli Cheese Haus Dunbarton Blue
Fourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family.

NC troopers: 5 dead in New Year's wrecks
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 2:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 2:36 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The state Highway Patrol says preliminary figures show five people died on North Carolina roads during the New Year's holiday, compared to four deaths during the same period last year.
The patrol counted deaths beginning Monday and going through midnight Wednesday. Three people died Tuesday in a wreck in Buncombe County, and one each in wrecks in Robeson and Duplin counties. The patrol says alcohol was a factor in the two single-person fatalities.
For the year, 899 people died in 846 wrecks.

Dual Mag Clamp M4/M16 Series
$ 5.99
Dual Mag Clamp M4/M16 Series - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- M16 Magazine ClampThis mag clamp does exactly what it is designed to do. Being metal, it tends to scratch metal AEG mags, so I recommend wrapping your mags with some sort of tape (I use electrical tape) on the part of the mag in contact with the clamp to prevent metal on metal contact. Use WD-40 or virtually any kind of oil to help keep the clamp from rusting and make sure to wipe down and disassemble the clamp after playing outside in a skirmish, esp if it's wet outside. Being metal (steel, I believe) it will last for a very long time and will not break or crack. To get around the dust-cover opening problem with M4 series AEG's, have the magazine on the right side of the clamp about a quarter to a half inch lower than the magazine on the left side. There's no way to carry 2 clamped magazines together in a standard magazine pouch, a larger pouch would need to be improvised and if a second clamp is used, you can clamp 3 mags together, but that configuration gets somewhat heavy and cumbersome after a while.
- Great for Metal Clipsi bought this with my neon fire navy commando and what can i say it will work. however with plastic mags it will ruin plastic mags surfaces so i would only recommend use with metal mags. not a needed accessory but nice to have.
- very goodmy buddy has one of these and its great for him. i have 1 for my mp5, (the mp5 version) and it works pretty well but i want to see if it would fit on a high-cap utg m87 mag. lol tyhat would be pretty funny but a waist. all in all if you have 2 clips that aarent high cap for something like an m16 or m4 then get i. :)
- Nice Really good for unexpected firefights and if you use standard magazines. If you have a high cap, there is really no need to get this, you probably would not need to change mags anyway. A really good item to have if you want to spend the money.
- Great itemLike everone else said it works great, other then the fact that i does scratch the plastic mags, so u must rap them in something. however i recomend it to anyone
- Great clamp!I purchased this mag clamp and it works great. At first I thought it would ruin my plastic mags but if you're careful putting it on, it only scratches them a little bit. Great buy and deff worth the money. Some places charge almost 30 bucks for these!
- great for cqbthis thing is great for cqb so it doesnt take so long to reload your clips. cool to have even if you dont use it cqb, it just makes reloading eaier. get this
- ...gift..my friends bought this for me thinking the mags were included..it's ok..cuz this clamp is a fine item...& using it now..i see actually that it's a great tool..that fits..best mistake they ever made..10Q..jeffer
- Ok clampThis thing is prety good to have if your in an airsoft war, target practice, or if you just dont feel like taking toime to reload. A real go little gadgett to have. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it scratches the shit outa' the plastic, if you have a plastic mag. And its hard to get it just right. But, besides that mess, it's an okay little thing to have.
- nice bought it by accident, glad i did..fits my mp5 also..dont over tighten..scratches dont bother me..all in the game

Crowder College will host a dedication ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Thursday in the Neosho campus' Davidson Hall for the Rocketdyne Mural.
The mural was painted by Larry Sanchez in 1963.
The Rocketdyne plant was involved in building engines for rockets that carried Americans into space, and Sanchez, a former Rocketdyne employee, created his mural to represent that work.
The mural reportedly depicts his interpretation of what space would look like in the future.
Sanchez was a technical artist for Rocketdyne.
The mural was previously on display in the employee cafeteria of Premier Turbines, formerly Rocketdyne, where Sanchez had originally painted it.
However, the Newton County Tourism Committee, along with Premier Turbines, decided to find a new home for the mural where it could be more visible.
It now resides on the first floor of Crowder's Davidson Hall, just outside of the science labs and classrooms.
Sanchez also created the tiled mural on the south side of Mills Park Centre, near Big Spring Park.

Oklahoma has long been home to some of the best quail hunting and quail habitat in the nation. But the species is currently in a state of long-term decline across its range. While Oklahoma remains one of the strongest holdouts of bobwhite quail populations and habitat, wildlife professionals are proactively launching an extensive effort to understand and address what could be a number of contributors to the downward trend in quail populations.
Quail decline has been attributed to a number of causes. There is no shortage of theories blaming everything from disease and food contamination to habitat loss, fragmentation and predation, but Wildlife Department officials say the issue needs to be studied from all angles.
The Wildlife Department has begun an intensive, long-term research project on two northwest Oklahoma wildlife management areas to study quail reproductive success and mortality. The Department is also teaming up with a group of partners to conduct an extensive research project that covers the western portion of the northern bobwhite quail's North American range.

Lawyer: 'Housewives' star targeted due to fame
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — An attorney for "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice (JOO'-dice) says he believes the federal government is prosecuting her because she's a celebrity.
Attorney Henry Klingeman says federal prosecutors frequently target high-profile people to draw attention to their efforts.
Teresa and her husband, Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, who also appears on the TV show, were indicted Monday on charges of bank and bankruptcy fraud. He is also charged with failing to file tax returns for five years.
On Tuesday, a magistrate in Newark set their bond at $500,000 each. They were also required to surrender their passports, and their travel was restricted to New Jersey and New York.
Their attorneys say both will plead not guilty.

There's good news for your Grandma's outdated china: It no longer has to live behind cupboard doors while modern dishes get all the glory.
The latest trend in tableware is mixing and matching colours, patterns and textures, which means there's now a spot at the dinner table for those vintage pieces you've kept tucked away all these years.
Dansk Gifts owner Stasia Nawrocki is an Edmonton tableware expert. She sees the bright colours of current spring and summer fashions combining with bold patterns and classic silhouettes. The same trend has been reflected in tableware, which, when co-ordinated correctly, can add personality and flair to your home.
"I always maintain that what you see in clothing, you see in tableware," Nawrocki says.
"There is a strong trend of mixing patterns, textures, layers and as a reflection of it, you see the same thing in dinnerware. Not only mixing different patterns and colours together, but also mixing new and old, like vintage and modern, which can make for striking composition and setting."
Nawrocki says that pairing unusual cutlery and dishes with bright pops of colour adds to the esthetic. Orange and turquoise, for example, is a combination that is currently popular.
When it comes to designing your tabletop masterpiece, Nawrocki suggests starting with one item and working everything else around it. For example, you could start with floral tea cups and saucers, or old dishes with scalloped edges.
You can then go about finding a common thread between those pieces and more modern tableware. If there's a colourful floral pattern in your vintage tea cups, you can pick it up in bright placemats, runners or napkins.
Basics, like plates, can be kept neutral. Or, if you prefer, you can get them in a correlating shade.
"If you had a very special vintage salad plate, I would very carefully look at it. Is it glass? Is it porcelain? What colours does it have in it?" Nawrocki says.
"If this is the item that is most important, I would try to find other things that would make it more special and work together."
For Gloria Lockie, sales associate for Call The Kettle Black in Edmonton, her starting point is a theme.
Once you determine whether you're going Easter, ritzy or casual, you can follow up by purchasing your same style of tablecloth, runner or napkins.
At Call The Kettle Black, their Fiestaware dishes come in a variety of colours, such as paprika, ivory, plum and lemongrass green.
If you have old china featuring some of those colours, Lockie says they would go well together.
"What they're saying now is bring out [your old china] and use it. But use it and mix it with your new modern stuff and solid colours," says Lockie.
"And bone china is tougher and harder and wears better, so you can really use it a lot. Ironstone [a thicker type of tableware] chips easily."
If you're eager to play with different patterns, you can still achieve a cohesive look by using similarly shaped dishes or a more consistent hue throughout.
As long as there is a common element, the kitchen table can become your canvas.
Some people with open concept homes might be hesitant to mix and match tableware, especially if the rest of the house is very modern.
For Lockie, having a contemporary home shouldn't stop you from experimenting with old and new.
"Grandmothers and granddaughters get along. So do grandfathers and grandsons. So come on! Do it with your decor," Lockie says with a laugh.
Nawrocki, however, recommends having a little bit of vintage elsewhere in the home to ensure the style flows 7throughout.
"Home is about who you are, where you came from and what's important to you," Nawrocki says.
"To me, modern is important, but so is past history, and it can all work together with the colours, shapes and textures."

We love The Design Kids!
TDK provides a platform for Australian design graduates (including many of our own Shillington grads) and working graphic designers to sell one off or limited edition pieces. It's an online community made up of talented individuals designing and selling bespoke homewares, fashion and gifts.
It was launched by Frankie Ratford who we're fortunate enough to have as a part-time lecturer here in Sydney. Frankie's energy and enthusiasm is contagious as many of her students will attest. If you're part of the design circuit you're bound to meet her at some stage as there's very little going on in the creative world that she's not somehow involved in.
TDK make and produce their own range and encourage others to do the same by promoting and selling their goods on the site. The Bonjour Tote is a must this Bastille Day and check out Bianca Chang's paper sculpture called 'Twin'. Amazing! Make time to check out the blog too. Full of designy goodness.

Getting paid to watch movies sounds like a great job. First, you can sit down the entire time. Second, you won't get in trouble if you have a beer or a glass of wine while doing so. Third, you get to see many of the films before the audience does, allowing you to give off a self-important air only Roger Ebert can relate to.But then there's this annoying little thing called time. Did you know that most feature and documentary films are a full hour and a half long? Think of how many tweets and Facebook messages you could send in that amount of time. Short films keep their promise, typically being less than 15 minutes. But do the math: 12 short films at 15 minutes each equals ... actually, we didn't do the math. There's a reason we became writers. Needless to say, trying to fit in the time to watch every film selected for the Vail Film Festival this year was a challenge. But it was a fun challenge, filled with watching movies that entertained us, surprised us and maybe even brought a tear to our eye. (We're cynical journalists; it takes a lot to make us cry.) As this year marks the festival's 10th anniversary, we picked 10 films we think are worth staying with until the credits end. This weekend's lineup includes everything from a documentary about bruised mountain bikers racing down dangerous cliffs to a comedy about drinking on the job, literally. We took the time to watch 'em. We hope you will, too.
"The Only Real Game"Located in northeast India, Manipur is a crime-ridden area whose citizens have much to fear and little to hope for. Despite this they spend their time playing baseball, using the sport as a way to spread goodwill and give the younger generation something to root for. Even if you're not a baseball fan, this captivating documentary will make you look at our great American pastime in a whole new light. See it: At 4 p.m. Friday and again at 4 p.m. Sunday. Both showings at Piney Theater at Four Seasons."Drinking Buddies"Coworkers Kate (Olivia Wilde) and Luke (Jake Johnson), freely drink and flirt on the job at a Chicago craft brewery. The only problem is they're both dating other people, played by Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick. "Drinking Buddies," the festival's closing-night film, has already generated a lot of buzz after premiering at the SXSW Film Conference & Festival a few weeks ago, and director Joe Swanberg's improvisational style always provides a few surprises. A comedy about how drinking can lead to some bad decisions? If you can't relate to that, then you must not have ever spent a night out in Vail, or any town anywhere, ever. See it: 8 p.m. Saturday at Vail Mountain School.Shorts: "The Crocodile" and "If You're Serious"With so many good short films this year, it was hard to choose just one. "The Crocodile" follows a Mexican man on the run with his son. The film's shocking ending will stay with you much longer than its actual run time. In "If You're Serious," three members of an Internet Suicide Group meet to end their lives together. Set in China, the film manages to take a depressing subject matter and make it both touching and beautiful. See it: "The Crocodile" screens at 11:15 a.m. Friday at the Cadillac Theater at Four Seasons. "If You're Serious" screens at 1:30 p.m. Friday at Piney Theater at Four Seasons."Sweet Talk"One night a lonely writer calls "Sweet Talk," a phone sex line run by a woman bored with the typical fantasies her clients request. A night of imaginative romance ensues, made more interesting by the fact that the characters are talking in separate rooms the entire time. Originally a play, the performances from the actors in this feature film help keep your attention. See it: 11:30 a.m. Friday at Cinebistro."Elephant In The Room"Set in a boxing gym, there's little actual fighting in this hour-long documentary. Wha t you get instead is a look inside the lives of four women, two high school girls, Emily and Zaneta, and their two boxing coaches and mentors, Devonne and Tabbi. The subjects in this film aren't afraid to reveal the truth, or acknowledge how much harder it is to fight for someone rather than against them. See it: 3 p.m. Saturday at Piney Theater at Four Seasons.
"Spinning Plates"Food as a roof over your head. Food as art. Food as community. Director Joseph Levy profiles a trio of restaurants from opposing corners of the triangular dining spectrum in this documentary. The camera pans from a literal mom-and-pop Mexican joint in Tucson; to Chicago's Alinea, the seventh best restaurant in all the world where the head chef is battling a devastating diagnosis; and over to a tiny town in Iowa where a 150-year-old family restaurant is resurrected from the ashes not once, but twice. Though each restaurant is very different, at root, the st ruggle is the same: Survival. See it: 5:30 p.m. Friday at Cinebistro; 2:45 p.m. Saturday at Cadillac Theater at the Four Seasons."Where the Trail Ends"Utah, you now officially have some competiton. This 120-minute documentary follows a group of adrenaline-hungry freeride mountain bikers around the world, to locations like Fraser River Canyon, British Columbia; Cafayate, Argentina; China's Gobi Desert; and the Mustang Region in Nepal, all in search of trails that likely have never been hiked let alone biked. At points, the footage in this film will make you squeeze your eyes shut and gasp out loud. It's the closest thing to an adrenaline rush you're likely going to get (sitting in a movie theater) at this year's festival. See it: 11 a.m. Saturday at Piney Theater at the Four Seasons."Disconnect"The 10th year of the Vail Film Festival kicks off tonight with this dramatic thriller from Murderball director Henry Alex Rubin. In the spirit of full disclosure, we only saw the trailer for this film, but if that's any indication, we think this thriller will be worth 115 minutes of your time. "Disconnect" follows three story threads of people all struggling to connect despite increasingly wired lives. We depend on technology for so much, but at what cost? Jason Bateman stars in the film, alongside Hope Davis, Paula Patton, Alexander Skarsgrd, Michael Nyqvist and others. And as a weird aside, this movie is the acting debut of fashion designer Marc Jacobs who plays a porn kingpin. Wait, what? See it: 7:30 p.m. tonight at Vail Mountain School."Climb to Glory"This is the only film at the festival with an entirely local bent. "Climb to Glory," produced by Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum in partnership with Warren Miller Entertainment, tells the story of the 10th Mountain Division Ski Troopers and how they transformed skiing as a whole. Unless you've been living in a hole, you likely know we have the 10th Mountain Division to thank for championing the U.S. ski industry post World War II. This is local Warren Miller athlete Chris Anthony's baby and you can expect to see him at the showing where he'll lead a Q&A session after the film.See it: 2 p.m. Saturday at Vail Mountain School."While We Were Here"Some people will dig this movie, others will hate it. First off, it's a black and white film, which always seems to divide folks. Second, it's a bit slow. But those things aside, it's an honest look at what can happen to a relationship where two people have stopped communicating, favoring silence over honesty until it's too late. If anything, it will teach you to never venture to Italy with your spouse if your marriage is on the brink.An uber-skinny Kate Bosworth, who was honored at the 2011 Vail Film Festival, stars in this depressing-but-certainly-artistic indie film, written and directed by Kat Coiro, also no stranger to the festiva l.See it: 4:45 p.m. Saturday at Cinebistro.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Some state legislators are calling for a moratorium on public school testing after a number of computer glitches were reported by state education officials.
Longtime school administrator and Smithville Democratic Rep. Curtis McDaniel said Wednesday it would be unfair to subject students to testing this year after "a ton of problems" have been reported with the process.
The State Department of Education reported problems this week with online assessments for students in grades 6 through 12. The department reported that testing company CTB/McGraw Hill had problems with their servers while uploading results that caused some students to get knocked off the system during the middle of their tests.
State Superintendent Janet Barresi called the glitches "completely unacceptable" and says the department is working on how to remedy the problem.

Monday's letters: The Holy Land'
Published: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 5:38 p.m.
To the editor: Your recent article on Israels grab of Vatican-owned and Christian-inhabited land on the West Bank is a sign of the continued hostility of Israel to Christians in the occupied territories they control.
It always amazes me how so many fundamental American Christians, who blindly support everything Israel does (as does our government, for that matter), love the secular state of Israel but despise or ignore our Christian brothers and sisters who undergo daily persecution at the hands of the Israeli government. I suspect its partly due to off the wall books like the popular The Harbinger, as well as a flawed reading of the New Testament, that somehow continues to convince fundamentalists that modern Israel and the U.S. are Gods chosen people.
Oh well, if most Christians dont stand for our fellow believers in the Holy Land, we know God does. I guess thats what counts.
Robert Johnson
The Trinity
To the editor: Cosette Goebel either did not read or misread my letter. Not at any point did I attribute any words in the Old Testament to Jesus Christ other than through the Trinity.
Possibly the Trinity is either a foreign concept, or is not something everyone believes in.
What a concept that the Old Testament was written before the birth of Christ. Duh! Just maybe thats why the dates are listed as B.C.
The learned biblical scholars quoted in the letter are these the same theologians who spent most of their lives attempting to determine how many angels could dance on the head of a pin?
Either you accept the concept of the Trinity, or you do not. Either you believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, or you do not.
Im finished with this subject. We could spend eternity separating the fly specs from the black pepper, if we were so inclined.
Joe Stanley Sr.

GYPSUM - Before he got into the kombucha tea business, Ed Rothbauer loved living in the Vail Valley. And this is where he wants to stay, although it might be easier to do business somewhere else.
Rothbauer and partner Steve Dickman started High Country Kombucha in 2005 in the home they shared in Avon. Rothbauer had started brewing his own kombucha - which is becoming popular as a health drink - in the 1990s after suffering a broken back in an accident.
Recovering at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver, a fellow patient told Rothbauer about the drink's healthy properties. Rothbauer, who was using a wheelchair at the time, started drinking the stuff and, he says, had movement in his legs 30 days later.
Today, Rothbauer walks stiffly and with a cane, but he's walking, and a believer in kombucha's benefits.
Other people are sold on the drink, too, which is why Rothbauer and Dickman's home brewery was soon at its capacity. The partners soon rented a small commercial kitchen in Eagle. Thanks to a deal with the Vitamin Cottage natural grocery stores, that small kitchen was also maxed out, at 244 bottles a week.
"It wasn't enough to pay the rent," Rothbauer said.
The company was starting to roll, and moved into a brewing and bottling facility in Gypsum's Airport Gateway commercial area, where it was soon moving 4,200 12-bottle cases every month.
The entire U.S. kombucha business shut down in 2010 - thanks to the presence of too much alcohol in the drinks made by the country's biggest kombucha maker. That ran the drinks afoul of national and state liquor laws.
After that, all the companies involved in the commercial production of kombucha adjusted their formulas, and High Country started on the road back to full production.
That hiatus could have been an opportunity to move to a place with lower rent, easier transportation and cheaper labor costs, but Rothbauer and Dickman decided to stay in Eagle County.
"We're 'high county' kombucha, after all," Rothbauer said. "The legend is that the (kombucha spores) first formed in the Himalayas, so it's a product of the mountains ... Consumers wouldn't buy it if was made in (Los Angeles)."
Then there's the fact that Rothbauer and Dickman like living here.
That combination has the partners committed to staying in Eagle County, despite some challenges to running a company that manufactures and distributes a heavy product.
Shipping can be tricky, although Rothbauer jokes that moving kombucha cases east or west is a downhill trip either way. Weather can also delay trucks, further fouling shipping schedules.
Kevin Selvy understands High Country's problems. Selvy and his wife, Marisa, founded Crazy Mountain Brewing Company in Edwards a few years ago. The Selvys wanted to brew beer in the mountains, but quickly discovered that high-elevation brewing has its own set of problems.
"It's not a very practical place," Selvy said. It turns out that sea-level beer recipes have to be adjusted to work at high elevations, and the municipal water supply in Edwards can vary widely in its chemical and mineral makeup, since the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District will often use different sources for drinking water - the district can use streams, reservoirs or wells.
"It's really hard," Selvy said of transportation for his company's products. "Getting to the West Coast is manageable, but the East Coast is really expensive."
These days, Crazy Mountain trucks beer to a Denver-area warehouse, from which the product is shipped to various distributors.
Despite the problems, Selvy can't see going anywhere else. He and Marisa moved to the Vail Valley for a reason, just like Rothbauer and Dickman.
"It's worth dealing with it all," Selvy said.
But on the positive side of the ledger, Eagle County has an airport with year-round air service.
The High Country team recently flew in an "advisory board" of people, most of whom either work for, or are retired from, bigger companies, for some insight on growing the business. All of them flew into, then out of, the county airport.
Then there are the potential investors who live here.
"A lot of people who live here are entrepreneurs," Rothbauer said. "They're interested in anything that's innovative. And they're well-connected, so if they aren't interested (in investing), the probably know someone else who is."
All that adds up to a long-term commitment on High Country's part. The company just added four new flavors and is close to distribution deals that will enable it to roughly triple its production to 25,000 to 30,000 cases per month - and double its workforce to 35 or more - by the end of this year.
Any questions about whether this is the right place can be answered by a quick peek outside, Rothbauer said.
"We have beautiful scenery here," he said. "And we have the perfect weather for kombucha."
