The Sun-Gazette's version of the 2012 Oscars comes at Christmas time when we unveil the area all-star team, along with The Player of the Year and the The Coach of the Year. Area football coaches and/or stat keepers are encouraged to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with anyone they think should be considered along with vital statistics.
In the meantime, the following are some end-of-the-season awards to heighten the suspense. And while the all-star team is selected by the entire sports staff, these awards were chosen by a true dictator.
Second runner-up-South Williamsport 32, Bloomsburg 16: This was the game that drove home just how good South (10-2) was. Much of the talk leading up to this District 4 Class A semifinal surrounded how impressive Bloomsburg had been after beating HAC-I champion Danville and HAC-II champion Central Columbia in consecutive weeks. Many assumed 2,500-yard quarterback Ricky Klingerman and his prolific offense could not be stopped. Many thought wrong. South overwhelmed Bloomsburg, physically manhandled it up front and romped to a season-defining win in a game that was never really close. The Mounties allowed only four first-half yards and did not surrender a first down until midway through the fourth quarter. If I had not been there, I likely would not have believed it.
First runner-up-Loyalsock 32, Mount Carmel 29: Loyalsock entered The Silver Bowl in this Week 4 matchup a huge underdog. The Lancers had lost two straight, scored just 12 points in those games and had never before beaten the defending district champions. How stunning it was, then, that this young team quieted the spirited Tornadoes fans and opened up a 25-point third-quarter lead before holding on for a thrilling 32-29 win. This was the game that signaled Loyalsock's return to district prominence after a 1-9 finish last year. The Lancers won four of five games starting with this shocker, gouged the Tornadoes defense and did something that not even the greatest teams of Loyalsock past had ever done.
And the winner is...Montoursville 37, Lewisburg 33: All indications were this would be a great one leading up to the District 4 Class AA quarterfinal. Early on, though, it appeared Montoursville might win via the mercy rule when it opened up a 21-0 second-quarter lead and was driving for a fourth touchdown. A Brandon Smith forced fumble recovery and 64-yard touchdown run two plays later changed everything. Lewisburg suddenly could do no wrong, scored on its next five possessions and led 33-21 midway through the fourth quarter on its home field. Montoursville appeared done, but it never stopped believing. Cameron Ott blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety and Aaron Cole hit Garrett Evans and Matt Krezmer with consecutive touchdown passes before Cameron Karschner made a game-clinching interception as Montoursville rallied for its first playoff win since 2008. The game included 787 yards of offense and enough twists and turns to make Stephen King blush. It was a true classic and the second-best high school football game this reporter has ever covered.
Second runner-up (tie)-Matthew Boone, Montgomery and Utoah Agae-Naipo, Jersey Shore: Boone nearly broke the Montgomery record for single-season yards, throwing for 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns, while running for four more scores and completing more than 50 percent of his passes. Boone quarterbacked a team that often had only 16 players dressed and took a physical pounding, but never missed a game, never backed down and had an excellent season that could signal could things to come at Montgomery. Agae-Naipo was Jersey Shore's workhorse running back and had the program's best rushing performance this century. The hard-nosed, fast junior ran for 951 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Agae-Naipo topped 100 yards four times, had six 90-yard games and likely would have reached 1,000 yards if not for suffering a Week 7 second-half injury against Shikellamy.
First runner-up-Ryan Bratton, Bucktail: The junior quarterback was a first-time starter who was only supposed to take about half the snaps this year. Instead, Bratton developed into an excellent passer and threw for 1,105 yards and 16 touchdowns while helping Bucktail reach the postseason for a third straight year. Bratton threw a touchdown pass in nine of 10 games, helped Bucktail go 6-4 and had one of the best seasons in program history.
And the winner is-Dominick Bragalone, South Williamsport: It is hard to believe there was a time in his life when Bragalone had trouble walking. The sophomore burst onto the district scene in a big way, taking his first varsity carry 60 yards for a touchdown against Bloomsburg and never looking back. Bragalone ran 746 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging a whopping 9.2 yards per carry. Nearly every one of those touchdowns came from 40 or more yards out and the speedy sophomore with room to grow stronger also returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. If Bragalone keeps working hard and builds off what he did this season, he has the chance to become one of South's great running backs.
Second runner-up-South's offensive line vs. Bloomsburg: The line edges South's defense which also was brilliant in this win. Marco Estrella, Justin Knee, Brock Steppe, Billy Kepner and Dylan Johnson-along with tight ends Heath Newcomer and Tyler Schonewolf-were outstanding all year, but took their collective game to another level two weeks ago. That unit physically dominated a strong Bloomsburg defense from start to finish as South ran for 344 yards and gained 425 in the 32-16 playoff win. The Mounties wore down Bloomsburg, controlling the clock while opening big holes for Bragalone, Matt Bartholomew and Brandon Stonge. All this after Bloomsburg had allowed just 12 points each to Danville and Central Columbia. Collectively, the line was the game's MVP.
First runner-up-Kyle Datres vs. Troy: The Loyalsock quarterback could not be stopped during a 60-35 trouncing of Troy in Week 6. Datres totaled 421 yards and accounted for six touchdowns in the road win against a district qualifier. The sophomore quarterback threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while running for 217 yards and four touchdowns. Oh yeah, he also kicked six extra points.
And the winner is...Von Walker vs. Bellefonte: The best player in Central Mountain history played the best game in program history during this 50-14 Week 4 rout. Walker totaled 518 yards and accounted for six touchdowns as the Wildcats scored the game's final 43 points after trailing entering the second quarter. Walker ran for a program-record 362 yards and five touchdowns while also throwing for 156 yards and a score. He also was outstanding defensively, forcing a fumble while adding two sacks and four tackles.
Dr. Masse's Final 2012 Top Five:
1. South Williamsport (10-2): This team left a big mark on school history. This team restored the luster to a proud program.
2. Montoursville (8-4): The Warriors are back among the district's elite and their senior class that took its lumps as sophomores is a big reason why.
3. Lewisburg (8-3): Is it selfish of me if I petition the PIAA to give Brandon Smith a fifth year of eligibility so I can keep watching him play?
4. Milton (7-5): Reaching two straight district finals and winning 13 games the last two years is a huge step forward for a program that had endured four straight one-win seasons.
5, Loyalsock (5-6): It was fun watching hard-nosed players like Aaron Hepburn, Cody McCracken, Henry Rainey and Ryan Bogaczyk compete the last few years.
Dr. Masse's Ridiculously Meaningless,
Way Too Early 2013 Preseason Top Five
1. Loyalsock: The Lancers return a strong core of players after showing the most improvement among area teams this season. Loyalsock is headed in the right direction under coach Justin Van Fleet and, if healthy, could be a district title contender next year.
2. Montoursville: The Warriors lose some great players to graduation, but have some standouts returning and should benefit from this season's playoff experience. I don't care if it's nearly a year away, I am already calling dibs on next season's Week 10 Battle For the Bridge Game.
3. Lewisburg: It's going to be really hard replacing players like Smith and Kyle Santorine, to name a few, but 1,300-yard quarterback Nick Costigliola is a nice building block and could be headed for really big things next year.
4. South Williamsport: The Mounties might have to rely on their experienced defense early in the season, but if a young offensive line jells the potential is there for another big season. Do not expect South to be a one-year wonder.
5. Wellsboro: The Green Hornets went 5-5 this season and were two plays from going 7-3 and being a playoff contender. The majority of Wellsboro's starters return next year and the offense could be really fun to watch. Don't be surprised to see this team push Troy and Athens in the NTL.

Wildlife biologists are in the midst of an unprecedented effort to release about 750,000 young spotted seatrout into Charleston waterways.
Scientists released more than 200,000 trout fingerlings into Charleston Harbor this month and plan to release another 250,000 into the Ashley River and yet another 250,000 into the Wando River in August.
This massive trout stocking, funded by the sale of saltwater fishing licenses, follows the release of 4,000 cobia fingerlings into the Colleton River in mid-July.
Weve been very busy, said Mike Denson, assistant director of the Department of Natural Resources Marine Resources Institute at Fort Johnson.
The baby cobia will be legal sized (33-inch fork length) in two to three years, and they are expected to return to the Port Royal Sound. The baby seatrout are expected to grow quickly and could be catchable in a year, Denson said.
But whether the massive trout-stocking effort actually leads to better fishing remains uncertain. Figuring that out is one of the projects goals.
Weve never stocked trout, and theres no good information on the impacts of stocking trout, so we have no idea what to expect, Denson said.
After decades of stocking red drum and cobia in Lowcountry waters, scientists have established that these efforts have huge impacts on recreational fisheries.
An earlier cobia-stocking study, for example, showed that almost half the 2007-year-class cobia caught in the Broad River were among 50,000 3-inch fish released into the river by DNR researchers.
In the latest stocking program, a joint effort between the DNR and federal Fish and Wildlife Service, scientists raised the cobia and seatrout in ponds at the Waddell Mariculture Center in Bluffton.
Raising nearly a million baby seatrout is no easy task. Not only are trout very fragile fish, theyre also voracious eaters and highly cannibalistic when kept in captivity. If feedings werent properly calibrated, the scientists at Waddell could have started with a half-million fish but quickly wound up with a pond filled with just 50,000.
Whats more, theyve managed to raise distinct families of trout, all genetically fingerprinted offspring of brood stock taken from the areas where the young will be released. In other words, only Ashley River seatrout will go back into the Ashley, only Charleston Harbor fish will go back into the harbor, and only Wando River fish will go back into the Wando.
We dont want to negatively impact wild populations in any way, Denson said. That goes the same for cobia.
Releasing site-specific fish isnt just a precautionary measure; its the focal point of the scientific research.
When we come back and sample fish next year, we can determine which fish were wild, which are stocked, and which fish are from each family, Denson said. That way, we can determine how much they move and whether they mix through the whole harbor system.
Charleston, it turns out, is a great place to conduct such ground-breaking research on seatrout.
We have a monitoring group that goes out every month of the year, and have been for 20 years, to get a good data set using trammel boats, Denson said. Pairing such a massive amount of information with new genetic identification methods allows scientists to better understand the natural ups and downs of fish populations and gauge the effects of stocking programs.
Weve gotten pretty high-tech, Denson said.

Assassination on Embassy Rowby Mark Crispin Miller Ariel Dorfman John Dinges Saul Landau
The gripping account of an assassination on US soil and the violent foreign conspiracy that stretched from Pinochet's Chile to the streets of Washington, DC, with a new introduction by Ariel Dorfman On September 10, 1976, exiled Chilean leader Orlando Letelier delivered a blistering rebuke of Augusto Pinochet's brutal right-wing regime in a speech at Madison Square Garden. Eleven days later, while Letelier was on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, a bomb affixed to the bottom of his car exploded, killing him and his coworker Ronni Moffitt. The slaying, staggering in its own right, exposed an international conspiracy that reached well into US territory. Pinochet had targeted Letelier, a former Chilean foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, and carried out the attack with the help of Operation Condor, the secret alliance of South America's military dictatorships dedicated to wiping out their most influential opponents. This gripping account tells the story not only of a political plot that ended in murder, but also of the FBI's inquiry into the affair. Definitive in its examination both of Letelier's murder and of the subsequent investigations carried out by American intelligence, Assassination on Embassy Row is equal parts keen analysis and true-life spy thriller.
Blake's Therapyby Ariel Dorfman
Blake's Therapy is a whirlwind ride through the desires of one man to find something real in a virtual world. After suffering a mental breakdown, Graham Blake checks into the Corporate Life Therapy Institute, where the self-assured, silver-tongued Dr. Carl Tolgate has prepared a strange, shocking, and erotic treatment. Now Blake must find out, before it is too late, who is controlling his life, his company's future, and his own heart. A work of intense psychological intrigue, Blake's Therapy holds a magnifying glass to one man's life as it unravels in a world of economic turmoil and spiritual crisis.
Burning Cityby Ariel Dorfman Joaquin Dorfman
It is the simmering summer of 2001 in New York City. Heller is the youngest employee of Soft Tidings, a messenger service whose motto is "news with a personal touch." At Soft Tidings, a message is not handed over but told to the recipient. And the messages, as a rule, are not especially good news. Heller prefers his bike to the mandatory Rollerblades, and he gets away with his maniacal bike riding because he is, hands down, the best deliverer of bad news. This summer will be memorable for Heller as he finds himself drawn into the lives of a wildly diverse cast of characters, accidentally falling in love, and relating to people in a whole new way.
Chile: The Other September 11: An Anthology of Reflections on the 1973 Coupby Ariel Dorfman Fidel Castro Ricardo Fredes Pilar Aguilera Salvador Allende
This anthology reclaims the tragic date of September 11 as the anniversary of the US-backed coup in Chile in 1973 by General Augusto Pinochet against the popularly elected Allende government.The selection combines moving personal accounts with a political/historical overview of the coup's significance, featuring Ariel Dorfman's poignant essay, "The last September 11" and President Allende's last radio broadcast.
Death And The Maidenby Ariel Dorfman
Ariel Dorfman's explosively provocative, award-winning drama is set in a country that has only recently returned to democracy. Gerardo Escobar has just been chosen to head the commission that will investigate the crimes of the old regime when his car breaks down and he is picked up by the humane doctor Roberto Miranda. But in the voice of this good Samaritan, Gerardo's wife, Paulina Salas, thinks she recognizes another man--the one who raped and tortured her as she lay blindfolded in a military detention center years before.
Desert Memories: Desert Memoriesby Ariel Dorfman
The Norte Grande of Chile, the world's driest desert, had ''engendered contemporary Chile, everything that was good about it, everything that was dreadful,'' writes Ariel Dorfman in his brilliant exploration of one of the least known and most exotic corners of the globe. For 10,000 years the desert had been mined for silver, iron, and copper, but it was the 19th-century discovery of nitrate that transformed the country into a modern state and forced the desert's colonization. The mines' riches generated mansions and oligarchs in Chile's more temperate region - and terrible inequalities throughout the country. The Norte Grande also gave birth to the first Chilean democratic and socialist movements, nurturing every major political figure of modern Chile from Salvador Allende to Augusto Pinochet. In this richly layered personal memoir, illustrated with the author's own photographs, Dorfman sets out to explore the origins of contemporary Chile - and, along the way, seek out his wife's European ancestors who came years ago to Chile as part of the nitrate rush. And, most poignantly, he looks for traces of his friend and fellow 1960s activist, Freddy Taberna, executed by a firing squad in a remote Pinochet death camp.
Desert Memories: Journeys Through the Chilean Northby Ariel Dorfman
The Norte Grande of Chile, the world's driest desert, had "engendered contemporary Chile, everything that was good about it, everything that was dreadful," writes Ariel Dorfman in his brilliant exploration of one of the least known and most exotic corners of the globe. For 10,000 years the desert had been mined for silver, iron, and copper, but it was the 19th-century discovery of nitrate that transformed the country into a modern state and forced the desert's colonization. The mines' riches generated mansions and oligarchs in Chile's more temperate region--and terrible inequalities throughout the country. The Norte Grande also gave birth to the first Chilean democratic and socialist movements, nurturing every major political figure of modern Chile from Salvador Allende to Augusto Pinochet. In this richly layered personal memoir, illustrated with the author's own photographs, Dorfman sets out to explore the origins of contemporary Chile--and, along the way, seek out his wife's European ancestors who came years ago to Chile as part of the nitrate rush. And, most poignantly, he looks for traces of his friend and fellow 1960s activist, Freddy Taberna, executed by a firing squad in a remote Pinochet death camp.
The Empire's Old Clothes: What the Lone Ranger, Babar, and Other Innocent Heroes Do to Our Mindsby Ariel Dorfman
In this powerful cultural critique, Ariel Dorfman explores the political and social implications of the smiling faces that inhabit familiar books, comics, and magazines. He reveals the ideological messages conveyed in works of popular culture such as the Donald Duck comics, the Babar children's books, and Reader's Digest magazine. The Empire's Old Clothes was widely praised when it was first published in 1983. This edition, including a new preface by the author, makes a contemporary classic newly available.
Exorcising Terror: The Incredible Unending Trial of General Augusto Pinochetby Ariel Dorfman
Renowned author Ariel Dorfman, obsessed for twenty-five years with the malignant shadow General Pinochet cast upon Chile and the world, followed every twist and turn of the four year old trial in Great Britain, Spain and Chile as well as in the U.S., the country that had created Pinochet. Told as a suspense thriller, filled with court-room drama and sudden reversals of fortune, the book at the same time addresses some of today's most burning issues, made all the more urgent after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. What are the limits of national sovereignty in a globalizing world? How does an ever more interconnected world judge crimes committed against humanity? What role do memory and pain and the rights of the survivors play in this struggle for a new system of justice? But above all, the author, by listening carefully to the voices of Pinochet's many victims, explores how can we purge ourselves of terror and fear once we have been traumatized, and asks if we can build peace and reconciliation without facing a turbulent and perverse past.
Feeding on Dreamsby Ariel Dorfman
In September 1973, the military took power in Chile, and Ariel Dorfman, a young leftist allied with President Allende, was forced to flee for his life. In Feeding on Dreams, Dorfman portrays, through visceral scenes and powerful intellect, the personal and political maelstroms that have defined his life since the Pinochet coup. In Buenos Aires, he's on the run from death squads. Next, still holding out hope for Chile's return to democracy, he lives in ever-rotating safe houses in Paris and Amsterdam, where his loyalty to his political party and his wife's loyalty to him are dramatically tested. Finally he finds an uneasy refuge in America, his childhood home. And then, seventeen years after he was forced to leave Chile, Pinochet is out and Dorfman goes back to live there, setting in motion an unimaginable outcome. Dorfman's wry and masterfully told account provides a page-turning tour of the past several decades of North/South political history and of the complex consequences of revolution and tyranny. He has lived in the aftermath of revolution, and his perspective could not be more relevant today. Feeding on Dreams is a passionate reminder that "we are all exiles," that we are all "threatened with annihilation if we do not find and celebrate the refuge of common humanity," as Dorfman did during his "decades of loss and resurrection."
In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land: New and Collected Poems from Two Languagesby Ariel Dorfman
In the world of Chilean poet Ariel Dorfman, men and women can be forced to choose between leaving their country or dying for it. The living risk losing everything, but what they hold onto--love, faith, hope, truth--might change the world. It is this subversive possibility that speaks through these poems. A succession of voices--exiles, activists, separated lovers, the families of those victimized by political violence--gives an account of ruptured safety. They bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of personal and social damage in the aftermath of terror. The first bilingual edition of Dorfman's work, In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land includes ten new poems and a new preface, and brings back into print the classic poems of the celebrated Last Waltz in Santiago. Always an eloquent voice against the ravages of inhumanity, Dorfman's poems, like his acclaimed novels, continue to be a searing testimony of hope in the midst of despair.
The Last Song of Manuel Senderoby Ariel Dorfman George R. Shivers
This book relates the futuristic exploits of a politically asphyxiated dictatorship. By meshing disparate elements Dorfman has created a ponderous, provocative, if somewhat abstruse narrative, despite its finely wrought translation.
Manifesto for Another World: Voices from Beyond the Darkby Ariel Dorfman
In this interlocking prose web of first-person testimony, novelist, poet, and playwright Ariel Dorfman relates the struggles of fifty human rights activists hailing from more than forty countries. Manifesto for Another World features the words and struggles of internationally celebrated activists including Vaclav Havel, Baltasar Garzón, Helen Prejean, and Marian Wright Edelman; and Nobel Prize Laureates the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel, Oscar Arias Sánchez, Rigoberta Menchú Tum, José Ramos-Horta, and Bobby Muller. Equally moving are the stories of more than thirty others, unknown and (as yet) unsung beyond their national boundaries: Kailash Satyarthi, who has spent a lifetime working to free tens of thousands of victims of child labor in his native India, and Juliana Dogbadzi, who was sold into sexual slavery by her parents at age twelve, escaped after seventeen degrading years, and now is devoted to the liberation of African girls bound in the same terror. From their ranging voices Dorfman culls the message: freedom from persecution, and freedom of opportunity, for all. Manifesto for Another World is both a political testament and a work of art.
Mascaraby Ariel Dorfman
Mascara delves into the dark terrain of identity and disguise when the lives of three people collide. A nameless man with a face no one remembers has the devastating ability to see and capture on film the brutal truths lurking inside each person he encounters. Oriana, a beautiful woman with the memory of an innocent child, is relentlessly pursued by mysterious figures from her past. Doctor Mavirelli is a brilliant and power-hungry plastic surgeon who controls society's most prominent figures by shaping their faces. The twining of these three fates plays out in a climactic unmasking.
La Muerta y la Doncellaby Ariel Dorfman
La muerte y la doncella, la obra latinoamericana mas representada en la historia del mundo, ha llegado a constituirse en un clasico sobre la justicia y el perdon, la memoria y el olvido. Dorfman se ha propuesto a explorar preguntas pocas veces hechas en voz alta: "¿Como pueden los represores y los oprimidos cohabitar una misma tierra, compartir una misma mesa?" preguntas que hoy dîa siguen tan vigentes como cuando Dorfman escribia esta obra.
The Nanny and the Icebergby Ariel Dorfman
Conceived the night of Che Guevara's burial in 1967, Gabriel McKenzie is inextricably bound up in the history and politics of his native Chile. Twenty-four years on, and still a virgin, Gabriel returns from Manhattan exile to confront his legacy: a Don Juan father and a country preparing for the five-hundredth anniversary of America's "discovery." Into Gabriel's quest for manhood and identity enter one iceberg, a faithful if eccentric nanny, and a whole host of fantastical characters.
Other Septembers, Many Americas: Selected Provocations, 1980-2004by Ariel Dorfman Tom Engelhardt
"Let me tell you, America, of the hopes I had for you," Dorfman writes after the fall of the Twin Towers, remembering back to an earlier September 11 in 1973, when he was on the staff of Salvador Allende, then president of Chile, the day he was removed from office and murdered in a coup in which the U.S. government was complicit. "Beware the plague of victimhood, America ... Nothing is more dangerous than a giant who is afraid." Included in Other Septembers, Many Americas are major essays about the America south of the border, exploring the ambiguous relationship between power and literature and touching on topics as diverse as bilingualism, barbarians, and video games. In the essay "A Different Drum," Dorfman asks, "Isn't it time, as war approaches yet again, to tell each other stories of peace over and over again?" Over and over in these jewel-like essays, his best shorter work of the last quarter-century, Dorfman weaves together sentiment and politics with his sense of the larger historical questions, reminding Americans of our unique role in the world, so different from the one put forward by the current administration: the power to resist and to imagine.
Some Write to the Future: Essays on Contemporary Latin American Fictionby Ariel Dorfman George Shivers
Formerly exiled Chilean author Ariel Dorfman, one of Latin America's greatest writers and a major literary figure of the twentieth century, is known for such critically acclaimed works as the novel Widows and the play Death and the Maiden. A master of various literary forms, this collection draws together Dorfman's critical essays on contemporary Latin American writing. Spanning more than twenty years and arranged in chronological order, each essay is devoted to a single author--Miguel Angel Asturias, Jorge Luis Borges, José Maria Arguedas, Alejo Carpentier, Gabrial Garcia Márquez, Roa Bastos--and one final essay looks at the "testimonial" or concentration camp literature from Chile.Praise for Ariel Dorfman"One of the most important voices coming out of Latin America."--Salman Rushdie"A remarkable writer . . . writing out of a very different cultural perspective from comfortable American readers."--Digby Diehl, Los Angeles Herald Examiner"One of the six greatest Latin American novelists."--Jacobo Timmerman, Newsweek
The Trial of Henry Kissingerby Ariel Dorfman Christopher Hitchens
"If the courts and lawyers of this country will not do their duty, we shall watch as the victims and survivors of this man pursue justice and vindication in their own dignified and painstaking way, and at their own expense, and we shall be put to shame."Forget Pinochet, Milosevic, Hussein, Kim Jong-il, or Gaddafi: America need look no further than its own lauded leaders for a war criminal whose offenses rival those of the most heinous dictators in recent history-Henry Kissinger.Employing evidence based on firsthand testimony, unpublished documents, and new information uncovered by the Freedom of Information Act, and using only what would hold up in international courts of law, THE TRIAL OF HENRY KISSINGER outlines atrocities authorized by the former secretary of state in Indochina, Bangladesh, Chile, Cyprus, East Timor, and in the plight of the Iraqi Kurds, "including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture."With the precision and tenacity of a prosecutor, Hitchens offers an unrepentant portrait of a felonious diplomat who "maintained that laws were like cobwebs," and implores governments around the world, including our own, to bring him swiftly to justice.
Widowsby Ariel Dorfman Stephen Kessler
Set in a Greek village in 1942, and purportedly written from his imagination by a Danish man before he was picked up by the Gestapo and not seen again, here is Ariel Dorfman's haunting and universal parable of individual courage in the face of political oppression. Widows forms a testament to the disappeared--those living under totalitarian regimes the world over, who are taken away for "questioning" and never return.One by one, the bodies of men wash up on the shore of the river, where they are claimed by the women of the local town as husbands and fathers, even though the faces of the dead men are unrecognizable. A tug-of-war ensues between the local police, who insist that the women couldn't possibly recognize their loved ones, and the women demanding the right to bury their beloveds. As it evolves, the stand-off reveals itself to be a power struggle between love, dignity and honor, and the lesser god of brute force. A lesson in how power really works, and how it can be made to work differently.

Housed in the Millsaps-Wilson Library of Millsaps College, Jackson, Mississippi, the J. B. Cain Archives Collection is named for Rev. J. B. Cain, long-time historian of the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church. The collection is operated in conjunction with the Millsaps College Archives and is funded jointly by the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church and Millsaps College, an institution of the United Methodist Church.
Millsaps College has been a depository for Mississippi Methodist historical material ever since the establishment of the Mississippi Conference Historical Society in 1898. The Society was organized under the direction of Bishop C.B. Galloway for the purpose of "gathering and preserving by printing or otherwise writings, prints, papers and books pertaining to the history of the Methodist Church in Mississippi or elsewhere" *. Although each Conference was to have its own semi-official or official Historical Society, Millsaps became the depository for both Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences, and the successor Mississippi Conference combining the two. The Archives were established in 1982 and dedicated to J.B. Cain, their curator for over fifty years.
The J.B. Cain Archives comprise books and printed material relating to Mississippi Methodism, Church registers and records (1829-1996), a Manuscript Collection (1789 to present), the records of both Conferences' Historical Societies (1898-1977) and Commissions on Archives and History (1968-present), and the archives of the United Methodist Women (1954-2000).
The books have been catalogued in the general catalog of the Library. They cover general history of Methodism, history of the Mississippi Conference and its antecedent conferences, history of other conferences, local Church histories and biographies. The Methodist publications include Conference Journals, the New Orleans Christian Advocate and the Mississippi Methodist Advocate.
The Archives themselves have been arranged according to origin:
Each series is processed and inventoried. A general index (index box) and inventory notebook will facilitate research.
See the detailed arrangement for more information.
Please contact us if you have any questions.

This oped by HD Centre Regional Director for Asia, Michael Vatikiotis, was first published in the Bangkok Post on Saturday 2 March 2013.
The news that Thailand has agreed to formal Malaysian facilitation of a dialogue process to end the long conflict in southern Thailand is surely welcome. Most immediately it reflects that both the Thai government and all its parts, as well as the shadowy insurgent movement and all its parts agree that Malaysia needs to be part of the solution to the conflict that has raged for nine long years and cost more than 5,000 lives.

Target, the large building in the lower portion of the photo, has begun erecting a roof, and preliminary paving work is expected to take care of dust generated at the site.
City experiences boom in permitting
TRF not only gig in town
by Andrew Walgamott
WOODINVILLE--There's a lot more construction in town than just TRF-Pacific's downtown project. City officials say in the first six months of 1997 alone they issued more than $49 million worth of building permits. Dean McKee, city permit director, estimated first half permit activities to be equal to all of 1996's.
The $49 million represents building and site development from small decks all the way up to concrete tilt-ups. And the figures only include Target, none of the other expected TRF-Pacific downtown building projects, according to McKee. Permitting remained busy through August as well.
"We're not slowing down very much," McKee said, adding the city was fielding inquiries on construction for next year. Meanwhile, construction goes on at full speed at the TRF site. Most of Target's walls have been erected. Roofing the 123,000 square-foot building is expected to take crews four weeks, according to Target site manager Ken Cass.
The store is on schedule to open for business in March, 1998. Around the rest of the site, crews installed curbs and gutters and began paving parking lots. Storm water collection facilities, underground vaults that will allow runoff to percolate into the earth, were in place as well.
Dust control, a concern of some citizens, was being handled by a dedicated water truck which was pumping between 40,000-60,000 gallons of water on the construction site a day, according to Chuck Hart, TRF manager. McKee said more than 1 million gallons of water had been pumped onto the project site. When meters broke, water was hauled in from Maltby, McKee said. Paving is expected to alleviate dust problems.
Cineplex Odeon has received their building permit for a 14 screen, 2,500 seat theater. Two "strip buildings" fronting N.E. 175th St. have also been permitted though construction has yet to begin. Top Foods and Red Robin plans are still in review, but McKee expected them to pick up permits within 30-45 days.
TRF president Bob Parks said more than half of the expected total cost of construction would be spent in the next few months, mainly on site preparation, grading, under ground utilities, sewers, paving and landscaping. Enthusiasm for the project remains strong, though there are still a few units to lease, according to Parks.
He said strip shops along N.E. 175th would be among the first to be open. At full build-out, the city is forecasting $350,000 in sales tax revenues a year from the downtown project alone, according to Jim Katica, Woodinville finance director. TRF estimates the center will employ 650 and bring in over $80 million gross annual sales a year.
At the Woodinville Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director Jeff Shaw is generally positive about TRF. "It's going to bring more and more people into the community," Shaw said, but added the flip side was increased traffic. "That's something the city needs to seriously address," Shaw said. Representing over 400 chamber members, Shaw said he hoped national chain franchise owners coming to Woodinville would become involved in the community, whether it be with the chamber or Kiwanis.
"It's their responsibility to be involved in as many local organizations as they can," Shaw said. He said local companies had a "natural concern over competition," but it would make for better business in the long run.
In addition to those merchants listed above, others expected to open up at TRF include Starbuck's Coffee, Taco Del Mar, Bernie's Bagels, Hollywood Video, GTE Phone Mart, Bella Cleaners, Great Clips, Kinko's GNC, Barnes and Noble, Cucina! Presto, Museum Quality Frames and Kit's Camera. Contrary to a rumor floating around town, Top Foods is still coming to Woodinville.
