When Scott Eyman set out on the trail to do his all-encompassing biography on John Wayne, the material he was about to cull on the late film icon was immense, but the idea was simple: get the Duke's story right.
Eyman knew to tell that story, it was going to take him as long as four to five years -- but the investment in his new 657-page tome, "John Wayne: The Life and the Legend" (Simon & Schuster), as he discovered, was more than worth it.
"Writing a biography is just a huge, huge investment of time, and it's got to be something I'm really interested in -- a question I want answers to and a riddle I want to solve. So, in a sense, I'm getting paid to learn about someone who fascinates me, and who was ill-served, previously by other biographers," Eyman told me in a recent interview. "Some people have good books written about them and others don't. I thought there were a couple of good books about John Wayne -- his daughter Aissa's was good, and the Randy Roberts book was OK, but that was about it."
Eyman said his real concern about the previous biographies written about Wayne since he died in 1979 at age 72 was that he was "viewed through one prism -- and that was politics" (Never mind, of course, that the actor had starred in such classics as "Sands of Iwo Jima," "True Grit," "The Alamo" and "Rooster Cogburn," among several others).
"If a conservative had written about him, then John Wayne was the risen Christ, but if a liberal wrote about him, he was a draft-dodging, war-mongering hypocrite, and that was pretty much it," Eyman said. "I thought, 'Well, since this is 2010, let's just take that single lens of politics away. We all knew he was conservative, let's see who he was as a husband, as a father, a producer a co-worker and an actor."
That's not to say Eyman ignored Wayne's political life entirely. It just came down to taking a different approach to writing about the life of the man born Marion Morrison -- a man who kept his true identity and never legally changed his name.
"I thought to myself, 'What a concept? Writing about John Wayne, the man,'" Eyman said with a laugh. "I just wanted to investigate all of the other facets of his life before the stuff that's already been written about. I wrote most of the book first, and then I went back and did the political thread, because I had some new stuff. But I wanted to first investigate the other aspects of his life and times."
Eyman said his approach to writing about the political aspects of Wayne's life was simple: don't be judgmental, no matter what his own political affiliations were. He was doing something that every journalist, whether they are writing a book, article or newscast should be doing -- he was being objective.
"It didn't matter what I was writing about, whether it was an extramarital affair that he had or his politics, I don't automatically vault for the moral high ground," said Eyman, who interviewed more than 100 of the actor's family members, co-stars and associates for the book. "I don't adapt an attitude of moral superiority to my subject about anything they do unless it's some extreme thing. There are some people that people who do that and are constantly wagging their finger, but I don't get the point of doing that. I think people who like that are sucking up to their readers or sucking up to their audience.
"I try to write effectively, and lay out why he or she did what they did at any given point, according to the evidence, to the letters and the interviews. If I can't ascertain what the motivations were according to those letters, interviews or anything, I just lay out a couple possibilities and let the reader make up their mind."
Fortunately for Eyman, there was no speculation about Wayne's personality, because he had the unique advantage of interviewing him as a 21-year-old journalist. The conversations they had turned out to be invaluable, because instead of asking Wayne the obvious questions, like about the actors he worked with and so on, Eyman instead queried the Duke about the filmmaking process -- a process few actors truly love.
"Because I asked him -- and I didn't know this at the time -- but because I asked him process-oriented questions, and about directors and locations, he opened up to me. I happened to hit a nerve because he passionate about the process of making movies," Eyman recalled. "He was a journeyman film man. Everybody likes the money and the movies, and everybody likes the power movies give you in terms of publicity and getting good tables at restaurants, but very few people actually like making the movies because it's a pain in the a-- and not a lot of fun. You act for 30 seconds, and you wait for an hour and a-half while the re-set the lights. It's boring and hard to maintain a lot of psychological edge over the time you're on the set, which is why they pay actors so much money."
But to Wayne, an Iowa native, the set and everybody that had to do with it was his favorite place to be, Eyman said.
"He was a blue-collar guy, basically, who did all these different kinds of crafts in movies. He made props, he'd done costumes and he'd done stunts. He'd done all different kinds of things that went into making movies," Eyman said. "He really liked the process of making movies, and that's why he was a workaholic. He wasn't doing it because of the money. It wasn't his job. It was his hobby. He liked getting to the set at 7 o'clock in the morning and leaving at 6:30 in the evening. He liked joshing with the stunt men, working with young actors and playing chess between shots. He liked the whole thing."

Carrie Underwood's voice carries cluttered show
While the "American Idol" brand and ratings continue to falter, season four champion Carrie Underwood showed at a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center Friday night that her star power keeps getting stronger.
To be fair to "Idol," it's probably impossible to consistently find a talent like Underwood's, even for the staff of a once top-rated singing competition show. She's confident while being down to earth. She enables the song no matter the topic. It's hard to imagine anyone following up naughty morning-after lament "Last Name" with "Temporary Home," an inspirational ballad concerning a heaven-bound old man on his death bed, but Underwood did it rather seamlessly Friday. »Read Full Article(18)

Milwaukeean finds his calling styling wigs for 'Book of Mormon'
Ben Platt is one of two breakout stars in the Chicago production of "The Book of Mormon." So when he calls the wigs in the Tony Award-winning musical "crucial," it's high praise.

New children's book illuminates life, art of Mary Nohl
A few years ago, Barbara Manger and Janine Smith wrote a biography for adults of Mary Nohl (1914-2001), the mysterious Fox Point artist who transformed her home and yard into an art environment. Now Manger and Smith are back with an illustrated life of Nohl for children 7 years and older.
Like its predecessor, "Mary Nohl: A Lifetime in Art" is thoughtfully written and generously illustrated with examples of Nohl's artwork. No school or public library in southeastern Wisconsin should be without it; parents with children interested in art should consider picking it up for summer reading. »Read Full Article

'Algerian Chronicles' captures how Albert Camus sought humanity in colonial conflict
In "The Rebel" (1952), the French Algerian writer Albert Camus (1913-'60) famously wrote, "The metaphysical rebel protests against the condition in which he finds himself as a man." Critics of Camus claim that the Nobel Prize winner ironically misperceived or underestimated that in his own land, colonized Muslims faced severe metaphysical consequences resulting from an oppressive colonialism. Given the publication of "Algerian Chronicles," a chronological collection of Camus' essays from the 1930s to the 1950s, this criticism needs re-examination and reinterpretation.
An appendix enhances the collection and includes an article by Camus celebrating the Mediterranean as a transcultural space of encounter and interaction. In addition, Camus' often-repeated controversial statement in 1957, "I believe in justice, but I will defend my mother before justice," is contextually considered and corrected. »Read Full Article
Kingsley Amis tunes in satire, alternative history in 'The Alteration'
In some other parallel world, Kingsley Amis' alternate-history novel "The Alteration" (1976) may already have the wide readership it deserves.
Amis (1922-'95) is best known today for his campus novel "Lucky Jim" and for being the father of novelist Martin Amis. But "The Alteration," just reissued by NYRB Classics, is a terrific novel that blends the fantasy pleasure of alternate history with Amis' brand of literary satire. It's a book for book lovers, paying sly homage to past alt-history masterworks, such as Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle" and Keith Roberts' "Pavane," and depositing Easter eggs everywhere for readers attuned to history and the history of literature: Hello, Monsignor Jean-Paul Sartre! »Read Full Article

Midway through "The Woman Upstairs," Claire Messud's spellbinding, psychologically acute and deliberately claustrophobic new novel, a character explains to the first-person protagonist how our view of a story is framed by the way it begins.

Emily Belknap at the Chazen Museum of Art
The first thing I saw upon entering the small gallery was what looked like an old fashioned concrete laundry tub raised off the floor on steel legs. As I neared, however, it resolved into a meticulously recreated basement constructed to scale of tiny concrete blocks. A precarious set of wooden stairs, lacking a handrail was set into one corner. A window well protruded from the opposite corner. The basement space was otherwise vacant except for the pool of water surrounding an off-center floor drain. »Read Full Blog Post

At Madison's Forequarter, a small space with big ideas
No sign per se hangs outside the restaurant Forequarter. All you need to do, though, is look for the warm glow from the dining room, spilling out onto E. Johnson St. in Madison. You'll want to go inside, intuitively.
Inside the tiny and often crowded restaurant, trays of growing sprouts are suspended from the wall at the bar, and a bear trophy hangs high on another wall. Intended as a neighborhood restaurant, Forequarter has just 16 seats at tables here, another dozen at the bar, and a few spots for standing with a drink while waiting for seats to open. (Overflow guests wait at nearby bars until a text message alerts them to open seats.) »Read Full Article(2)

No. 4: Take in a movie in the park
Many cities and their parks departments have movies in the park.
True, it won't be the theater experience with 3D zombies coming through the screen or surround sound or any of the other technological bells and whistles that we get at the theater, but movies in the park give you a chance to watch an old favorite in a mellow, comfortable environment.
Plus, if the kids get bored, they can run off and start their own de facto soccer game in a nearby field.
The movie is usually shown on the side of a building or on a screen erected for the event. If you pay anything for it, it'll be cheap, but you can bring a cooler, throw down a blanket and enjoy an old classic.
But why even leave home?

Deputies: Would-be robber had to call mom for ride home
Zacariah Howard arrested in Okaloosa County
A Florida man was arrested after allegedly claiming he had a gun while trying to rob a convenience store, then calling home and asking his mom to pick him up, according to a report.
Zachariah Howard, 22, tried to rob the store in Niceville, but left without any loot because the clerk behind the counter had no cash in the drawer, sun-sentinel.com reported Thursday.
REPORT: Man arrested after trying to stuff $1.29 Honey Bun in his sweatpants
Howard allegedly said he had a weapon, according to a news release from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office that sun-sentinel.com cited.
After the failed robbery attempt, the suspect went to a nearby Winn-Dixie store, where he called his mom and asked for a ride home.
Howard told the arresting deputies that he only thought to rob the store while he was on his way there, sun-sentinel.com reported.

In an age when potential health risks are "on blast" 24 hours a day in virtually every media outlet, it is hard to imagine that any health risk could remain "hidden."
But surprisingly, there are still many health risks that women need to know about that are not getting a whole lot of attention.
There was a time when breast cancer and heart attacks in women were kept on the back burner, and women were given very little information about risks and prevention strategies.
Obviously that is far from the case today, which is fantastic. However so much media attention has been given to these two "giants" that many other health risks for women are slipping under the radar.
That's why we've decided to give a few of them the attention they deserve ...
No. 5: Air fresheners
Most women like to use air freshener to make their homes smell fresh and flowery. But as reported in Time Magazine, a recent study by the Natural Resources Defense Council indicates that those innocent-looking little household deodorants can actually be quite deadly.
Apparently, most household air fresheners contain a toxic chemical known as phthalates. In high doses, these phthalates, which, by the way, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, can cause a long list of health problems including cancer, hormone fluctuations and sterility.
These risks apply to all types of air fresheners -- the plug-in kind, the spray kind and the traditional "push-up" kind. Even the unscented and all-natural brands aren't guaranteed to be phthalate-free.
Surprised? Then you will really be astonished by our next selection ...
No. 4: Commercial tea bags
There's nothing more relaxing than curling up with a good book and a hot cup of tea, right? After all, women have long been told about the many health benefits of tea; and we know from our own experience how enjoyable it can be.
Unfortunately, new research shows that the commercial tea bags that we so enjoy bobbing up and down in our cup of hot water may contain the toxic chemical, epichlorohydrin, which has been known to cause cancer.
According to Kristie Leong, MD, "When this chemical comes into contact with water, it forms a chemical called 3-MCPD, a known cancer causing agent." Thinking of switching to coffee? Think again. This same chemical, which is used in paper reinforcement by the food industry, can also be found in coffee filters.
Good thing you've been meaning to kick that caffeine habit anyway, right? And speaking of kicking habits ...
No. 3: Tylenol
If you're in the habit of popping a Tylenol or two in your mouth every time you have a headache, a hangover or some muscle pain, you need to be more careful.
According to a report in Harvard Women's Health Watch, "Each year, overdoses of acetaminophen (sold as Tylenol and other brands) account for more than 56,000 emergency room visits and an estimated 458 deaths from acute liver failure."
The publication acknowledges that the drug is not harmful when the proper directions are followed. However, experts also warn acetaminophen users to be careful about combining the drug with other over-the-counter or prescription drugs. They also say that it should never be taken with alcohol, or when alcohol is still in the bloodstream, like when you have a hangover.
Interestingly, there is something even more common that you likely ingest every day that could be a major hidden health risk ...
No. 2: Water intoxication

Howye fokes! How is things? Me little pal, MadDogTed, is just beside himself with the response what he got ta last weeks explanation a the Da Vinci code. A course, Im convinced meself that haff a ye is only sucken up ta him fer ta get a slurp a the Holy Gray Ale whats been hidden beneath Slashers Bar fer years.
Ill tell ye, the hole thing about Jesus haven a wife and kids is mind blowen fer sure, cos that would mean that he wasnt the divine sona God at all just one a his regular children like the resta us. And sure where would that leave society as we know it taday? Fer starters, the Easter Bunny and Santy would be outa job fer sure and would probably be sued ta boot fer unfair traden. And no more Furst Holy Commumion would mean no more junior fake tans, lip waxes, ringlets, fancy frocks, limos, helicopters, posh nosh dos and all that sorta stuff. And that would just cripple the economy not ta mention the Joneses and all whose soul purpose in life is to keep up with them. And the govermint would have ta introduce a amesty fer ta get back all the Commumion money from them cute misers what still have it.
The shamrock and St Patrick would have ta go too, ya know - cos it would be just the Father and the Holy Ghost. Unless, a course, its the Father, Son, Grandson and the Holy Ghost, in which case yad have ta go fer a four-leaved clover but then again that would only cover the furst 3 generations unless ya were ta go fer a genetically modified clover and keep adden leaves as each new offspring was born. But then again genetic modification is totally against relegion. But on the other hand, it looks as if there no longer is any relegion. A course, if there was and ya were actually parta this divine bloodline and God was yer granddaddy, then ya'd really cash in on yer Holy Commumion day.
Lissen, Im off fer a sup a that Holy Gray Ale before me confused little mind explodes alltagather.
Be seein ya

Howye fokes! How is things? Me post bag is only bulgen with all yer letters and queries on the Jesus and Mary MacDillon affair or lack thereof as the case may be. Anyways, I got one very interesten letter from a reader what signs herself as Just Wonderen, from Back the Road what writes:
Dear Ted
I read your column with great pleasure and interest every week and think its the best thing since the sliced unlevelled pan. Keep up the good work and I have to agree with you, that Goldilocks is a proper galloping trollop without a doubt (and all that sorta stuff she doesnt quiet stop there but outa modesty Ill get ta her pint quick GTed).
Ted, the other day when the sun was shining for 5 minutes, I took my little Joseph to the seaside to give him a chance to play with his new bucket and spade. It was while he was digging happily in the sand that he found these very old looking papers that looked like parchment or something. On closer examination, much to my surprise, I discovered that Im a product of this Divine Bloodline that everyone is talking about. Yes, Ted, I have the evidence to prove that I am indeed related to Jesus and Mary.
Now Ted, it doesnt take a great mind to figure out that if I am related, then Im entitled to an inheritance. So my question to you is, when Jesus died, rose again and then ascended into heaven - did that make Mary a widow or a deserted wife? I mean which allowance was she entitled to? And as Ive no doubt that in those days it probably took years to sort such claims out, theres a good chance that it was never resolved in her lifetime and now her descendents are entitled to all the back pay with interest, of course.
So Ted, Id be most grateful if you or any of your loyal readers could answer my query as soon as possible. Signed, Just Wondering, Back the Road.
Well, there ye have it fokes. Apply within with yer answers.

you can get an mp3 version on the ST site anyhow. Go to the podcast page, and click 'Subscribe Here (XML)'

MSO shows there's a place for orchestra in 'West Side Story'
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra took a timeless film and turned it into an in-the-moment musical event Friday evening.
The film in question is the 1961 "West Side Story," directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins and adapted from the 1957 Broadway show by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim (book by Arthur Laurents). Both are based on "Romeo and Juliet." »Read Full Article
Proposed downtown Milwaukee strip club tries third time for license
The company behind the effort to bring an exotic dance club to downtown Milwaukee is going before the city's licenses committee on Friday, and it wants people to know — so much so that it has taken out newspaper and radio ads touting the meeting.
It will be the third time that an application for Silk East will be heard before the city committee that makes recommendations on tavern and restaurant licenses. The club's proposed location is 730 N. Old World 3rd St. Each time the application has gone before the committee, there has been opposition from neighborhood businesses and business operators. »Read Full Article(66)

It succeeds completely with the first, as the film captures the just-barely-in-control Wild West feel of the online universe with a nervous, twitchy excitement. But that success costs the film some clarity with its second job. »Read Full Article

Saudi film 'Wadjda' is a tale of individualism, realism
Films from other countries are not about robots or superheroes, in part because many countries lack the financial and technical infrastructure to make them. While Hollywood wastes (our) time and (its) money creating CGI fantasies, films from abroad are often personal stories fraught with political subtext.
And so it is with "Wadjda," about a little girl who wants a bicycle in the only country in the world where women are not allowed to drive. Even more remarkable than the fact that "Wadjda" is the first feature film shot completely in Saudi Arabia is that director Haifaa Al Mansour is a woman and had to work out of sight from inside a van while making it. »Read Full Article

When I look at Tara Bogart's new series of portraits, I expect Lena Dunham to whip around and utter something awkward, self-important, hilarious and so impossibly self-possessed that you hate her a little and admire her a lot.
Bogart's series may be titled "A Modern Hair Study," but it is less a look at locks than an exploration of what it means to be a woman and in her 20s just now and, to some extent, an art school student in Milwaukee, too. That's a lot to accomplish in a series of portraits where we don't see any faces. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

A judge has rejected a new appeal by a drug trafficker facing execution next week for killing a state trooper in north Florida with a pipe bomb 21 years ago.
Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey on Friday denied motions to vacate Paul Augustus Howell's murder conviction and death sentence in Jefferson County, just east of Tallahassee.
Howell's lawyers also have an appeal pending in federal court in Tallahassee. The Florida Supreme Court rejected a prior appeal Tuesday.
Howell, 47, of Jamaica, was convicted of killing Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Jimmy Fulford.
The trooper stopped a car for speeding on Interstate 10. He died instantly when the bomb went off as he tried to open a gift-wrapped microwave oven he found in the car.

Law would require benefits for gay spouses
MONTPELIER The state of Vermont may have given its blessing to gay marriage, but some employers here have yet to follow suit.
And for the gay Vermonters working at national companies headquartered outside this state, the lack of recognition can mean more than hurt feelings.
There are people in the state who are not able to access health coverage simply because their spouses employer refuses to recognize their marriage, says Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre City independent. We passed gay marriage, but a lot of people still cant get the benefits of marriage.
Wal-Mart, for instance, extends health coverage to the spouses of its workers unless they happen to be gay. According to Susan Donegan, commissioner of the Department of Financial Regulation, theres nothing illegal about the unequal treatment.
Weve got a situation where employers who have their own self-funded, generally large insurance group fall outside the jurisdiction of our state insurance laws, Donegan says.
The state also lacks authority over companies that have bricks-and-mortar locations in Vermont but are headquartered out of state.
Is it the right thing to do (to deny spousal benefits)? I would say no, Donegan says. But there are companies that do that and it is perfectly legal.
Perhaps not for much longer, however. Poirier and Rep. Patti Komline, a Dorset Republican, are drafting legislation that would require all companies that offer spousal benefits to straight employees to do the same for their gay workers.
Donegan says she doesnt have any data on how many businesses or workers the proposed legislation would affect.
But you have to assume its a significant number of people, Poirier says.
Donegan says legislation enacted recently in California might offer a model for Vermont.
Randy Hargrove, director of national public relations for Wal-Mart, says the company wont comment on Poiriers bill until its been introduced in Montpelier. He confirmed that Wal-Mart does not offer domestic partner benefits, though he said that executive leadership will continue to evaluate its compensation packages. Since the passage of a similar law in California, Hargrove said, the company has extended spousal benefits to gay employees in that state.
We comply with state law, he said.
Poirier, who along with Komline spent the summer and fall urging Wal-Mart to extend the benefits voluntarily, said he was told by executives that they would comply with whatever legislation he could get enacted in Montpelier.
So they wont do it on their own, but they said they will follow state laws, Poirier says. So were going to make a new law.

Ardent's chef looks to Wisconsin with fresh approach
A few steps down from street level on Farwell Ave. is a door with frosted glass; a capital "A" with flourishes is etched into it. It's the sole sign, really, that you've arrived at Ardent, the most ambitious restaurant to open in Milwaukee in some time.
Swinging open that door for the first visit on a cold, bleak Friday night in December, and looking in on the warmly lighted, buzzing dining room, tiny as it was, I felt transported. Ardent was simple but stylish, rustic in its way (wooden serving pieces, bark attached) but with a bit of glam (geometric foil wallpaper). From our table, looking out the window at ground level lent a different perspective on the familiar scene of pedestrians and cars. »Read Full Article(6)

Maureen Oleskiewicz, 28, was pronounced dead Tuesday at a nearby Chicago hospital after choking on a hot dog during Cubs v. Reds game on Sunday, The Chicago Tribune reported. She apparently began choking during the "National Anthem," but didn't display the usual signs of choking or distress. Instead, Oleskiewicz slumped over in her seat, unresponsive. Efforts by medical personnel to save her life were unsuccessful.
Oleskiewicz was an organ donor and her mom reportedly said she was told her daughter's heart will go to a 14-year-old girl in desperate need of one.

Vermont women earn more than national averageFebruary 19,2013The Associated Press
Women's education and salaries have increased over the years, increasing their share of household income, but women on average still earn just 77 cents for every dollar a man makes.
In Massachusetts, where more people have bachelor's degrees than in any other state, the wage gap between men and women is the 13th largest in the nation.
Women in Massachusetts earn 77 cents for ever dollar a man earns, the same as the national average, according to the American Association of University Women, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
In Vermont, by comparison, women earn 87 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Counterintuitively, the wage gap expands as women move up the corporate ladder because there are fewer rules about compensation in upper management, said Victoria Budson, executive director of the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard University's Kennedy School.
"It's incredibly important for people to understand that women's wages are key definers of a family's economic life," she said. "For the health of families, communities, and the state, it is imperative that women are paid fairly for their labor."
In households in which men don't have a college degree, women's financial contributions play an even bigger role. Men with lower levels of education were hit hardest by job losses during the recession, and wives' share of family earnings income surpassed husbands in these households, according to the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire study. Women married to men with a high school diploma or less provided 51 percent of the household income in 2011, a jump of 4 percentage points from 2009.
More educated men, on the other hand, tend to marry educated women, and these couples' earnings took less of a beating during the downturn, further widening gap between the highest and lowest incomes, said Andrew Sum, director of Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies.
"At the bottom, women's share is going up largely because men's earning are going down," he said. "At the top, wives are both working more and earning more relative to their husbands, but their husbands' earnings are not declining."
Caitlin LoCascio-King, a lawyer in Auburn, Maine, quit her job in 2011 after she had a baby and started a part-time solo practice.
But she ramped up her hours last year when her family's health care costs increased and her husband's pay raises were not keeping up with the cost of living.
"My plan was just to bring in a little money to help my family," said LoCascio-King, 28, who has a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old and trades off child care duties with her husband, who works nights. "It has grown much bigger than that in large part because of the economy."
LoCascio-King estimates she will be the main breadwinner this year, and that is just fine with her husband, a police officer in Portland: "My husband is thrilled with my new nickname, Sugar Mama."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Barre granite industry continues to battle economic issuesJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Leon Darling of Groton carves a ledger stone at Granite Industries of Vermont in Barre on Friday.
Facing a variety of economic issues from cremations to cheap imports and overall economic weakness, the Barre granite industry is in a holding pattern with stagnant or little growth in sales and employment.
A major issue facing the industry is the growth of cremations. Many are interred in a cremation unit. Instead of buying a three foot monument they go in a one foot box in a building, said Jeff Martell, with Granite Industries of Vermont. This can mean a loss of $1,200 to $1,400 wholesale for a monument and much more at the retail level.
This trend is expected to continue, as cremations, according to the Cremation Association of North America, will rise from 34 percent in 2007 to 44 percent in 2015.
To counter this trend and the loss of memorial sales, Martell and others in the industry are marketing granite-fabricated units to hold remains.
We could use a bench in a cemetery in concrete foundation or a pilaster with cored holes to hold remains so people have a place to go to mourn the loss of loved ones, he said.
Granite Industries of Vermont does have a contract with the Veterans Administration and the national cemetery system for 30,000 marble headstones a year. Most memorialize World War Two veterans.
Ed Larson with the Barre Granite Association, the industry group representing 22 of the 30 local manufacturers, says general demand for memorials is off and cremation has impacted our demand. The BGA works with memorial dealers to educate consumers about memorialization even if there is a cremation.
We spend a considerable amount of money on marketing and promotions at the BGA, he said. Still, Its expensive for a family to get a cemetery plot and a funeral, which is a lot more expensive then the cremation process.
Imported granite from China, India and Brazil, as well as competition from other North American granite producers, has plagued the local industry for over a decade.
The Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C. uses Chinese grey granite and was fabricated in China. This was a hard bone to swallow here.
The local granite industry, to put it mildly, was disappointed, said Larson.
Martell says Barre granite faces costs from Chinese competition that is hard to match, especially when stone polishing here will cost $40 per hour with wages and benefits, while a Chinese stone industry employee gets $100 per month and no benefits.
However, the differential is lessened, says Martell, because the Chinese cant fit large monuments or memorials in a box. The more value added to the stone, the more competitive Barre is with the Chinese, notes Martell. He sees local technology in stone cutting far exceeding them.
On the upside, Rock of Ages, which quarries stone at a number of quarries here and in Quebec, exports stone to China, Italy and elsewhere primarily for building, according to company CEO Robert Pope.
Another import issue favoring the local manufacturers, according to Martell, is that China and India, which has also been a competitor, have saturated the market share they will get. Quality control issues have retailers in the Midwest starting to shy away and come back to domestic manufacturers. He believes imports have peaked.
The cost of doing business here is an issue, said Larson. While impacted by local and state government policies and taxes, he says our product is determined in a global marketplace. Its a squeeze play going on and its tough.
Barre producers, notes Larson, are paying twice as much as domestic competitors and three to four times as much with overseas producers when costs are figured in.
Labor costs in Vermont are higher than other domestic producers, he asserts. Workers in the Elberton, Ga. granite industry are not unionized.
VOSHA standards and general work conditions in Vermont are more regulated. Also property taxes, transportation fuel costs, and high electricity costs in Vermont are hurting Barre granite competitiveness. We dont have any competitive advantage except for the best stone and best people in the industry, he said.
Matthew Peake at the Granite Cutters Association, the larger of the two local unions along with the United Steel Workers, agrees with Larsons assessment.
Its expensive to do business in the state of Vermont in general, he said. He sees health care as a huge issue, affecting the bottom line. While the granite industry may have trepidations about the Affordable Health Care Act and Vermonts own health care reform program that Peake dubbed Shumlincare, he says a trust fund, the Granite Group Insurance Trust, covers workers. The benefits are managed with granite workers paying 20 percent of the premium. Still, a family plan is approaching $2,000 a month.
We, and the employers, are fearful about what Obamacare will tax employers, said Peake.
Stagnation in the granite industry can be seen in its labor force numbers, down from around 1,000 workers in various jobs in the 1990s to about 550 today.
The Granite Cutters Association represents 350 including retirees. In the early 1990s there were 550 union members. In the past few years, notes Peake, there has been no major decline. We are seeing some sort of stabilization. The biggest job loss was in the early 2000s when 80 to 100 workers lost jobs at International Stone Products when it closed, said Peake.
The industry no longer has a stone trades apprentice program at Spaulding High School to draw new workers from.
If someone leaves or retires, they hire. I do perhaps 10 new hires per year, said Peake.
The United Steel Workers Union currently represents 120 members in the Barre area and, according to union president Ron Christie, is holding its own. He assessed employment as not growing but at a level pace.
The industry is trying to counter the loss of memorials with a variety of products from pavers and posts to counter tops and landscaping products.
We have diversified a lot with building stones, fences, decorative items, war memorials, and upgrading community monuments, says Larson. The shoe that is about to drop is that municipalities dont have the funding for memorials and the demand for that will curtail. The monuments we are doing have been in the pipeline a couple of years.
While recent years have not been expansionary for the industry, there is optimism of sorts.
They are strong willed people, they want to be here, said Peake.
Larson describes the future as cautious optimism but very cautious. There is pent up demand. Martell sees stability, but no growth.
Pope assesses the future this way: We have skills and a workforce fully capable of competing. The damage has been done, the major shakeout has occurred.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Getting into Google News
Google News aims to organize all the world's news and make it accessible to its users, while providing the best possible experience for those seeking useful and timely news information.
Our ability to meet these goals depends critically on the quality of the sites included in Google News. We therefore have certain guidelines in place to help us maintain fairness and consistency when determining which sites we include.
The following are a handful of important guidelines to review before submitting your site. We encourage you to pay close attention to the News quality guidelines section below, which outline some of the practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google News index or otherwise impacted by an algorithmic or manual spam action. If a site has been affected by a spam action, it may no longer show up in results on Google News.
Note: Keep in mind that we can only include sites that follow our webmaster guidelines.
News general guidelines
News content. Sites included in Google News should offer timely reporting on matters that are important or interesting to our audience. We generally do not include how-to articles, advice columns, job postings, or strictly informational content such as weather forecasts and stock data.
Journalistic standards. Original reporting and honest attribution are longstanding journalistic values. If your site publishes aggregated content, you will need to separate it from your original work, or restrict our access to those aggregated articles via your robots.txt file.
Authority. Write what you know! The best news sites exhibit clear authority and expertise.
Accountability. Users tell us they value news sites with author biographies and clearly accessible contact information, such as email and physical addresses, and phone numbers.
Readability. Clearly written articles with correct spelling and grammar make for a much better user experience. Limiting your use of distracting ads and auto-load videos also allows users to more easily focus on your article content.
Finally, you may want to review the many different types of content we include in Google News.
News technical guidelines
Google News uses a computer algorithm to automatically crawl news sites. To help our system determine which webpages are actually articles, your site should follow our Technical Guidelines.
Here are some common technical issues you should consider:
Article URLs. Please make sure your article URLs are unique and permanent.
Article Links. When our crawler scans your site, it looks for HTML links with anchor texts that includes at least a few words. We are also unable to crawl JavaScript, graphic links or links found in frames.
Article formatting. Our crawler is only able to include HTML articles. This means we cannot crawl PDFs or other non-HTML formats.
Robots.txt or metatags. In order for your content to be included in Google News, our user-agent must be able to crawl and index your site.
Multimedia content. We currently are unable to include audio files or multimedia content; however, we can sometimes crawl supplementary text on pages with this type of content and do include some videos from YouTube.
While not required, we highly recommend that you submit a Google News Sitemap through a Search Console account. Please note that you may receive errors if you submit your sitemap before your site has been reviewed and approved by our team.
News quality guidelines
Our webmaster quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Google News may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed in these guidelines. Publishers who strive to uphold the basic principles of good journalism will provide a much better user experience and consequently likely enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit.
Please note that failure to follow these guidelines may result in the removal of your article(s), or entire publication, from Google News.
Additionally, if you believe that another publisher is violating Google's quality guidelines, please let us know by filing a spam report. Google News prefers developing scalable and automated solutions to problems, so we attempt to minimize hand-to-hand spam fighting. While we may not take manual action in response to every report, spam reports are prioritized based on user impact, and in some cases may lead to complete removal of a spammy site from Google's News results.
We highly encourage that you engage in the following best practices:
Stick to the news--we mean it! Google News is not a marketing service. We don't want to send users to sites created primarily for promoting a product or organization, or to sites that engage in commerce journalism. If your site mixes news content with other types of content, especially paid advertorials or promotional content, we strongly recommend that you separate non-news types of content. Otherwise, if we find non-news content mixed with news content, we may exclude your entire publication from Google News.
User-friendly. Follow basic principles of good journalism to make your website unique, valuable, and engaging. For instance, sites should load quickly and use URL redirects rarely, and avoid behavior intended to trick users.
Proper use of our meta tags. If you choose to use our meta tags, such as our keywords tag or standout tag, ensure that you are using these tags correctly.
Share your site with us
If you've read all of the above and your site follows our Webmaster guidelines, as well as Google news' general, technical, and quality guidelines, then you're ready to apply for inclusion within the Google News Publisher Center!
We often cannot provide specific feedback for your site or provide personalized answers regarding our guidelines. However, you can seek guidance from other publishers in our Publisher Help Forum.

Our goal is to create an environment where rubyists can learn together, regardless of skill level. We provide three avenues for continuous improvement and growth. First and foremost, we will provide an avenue for developers to present their ideas and experiences through presentations and lightning talks. Second, we can only become better ruby developers through practice. That is why we will have hack nights and work as a team to develop great software. Third, we will continue to learn and grow by holding a book club where we as a group will pick a technical book and work together to dissect its ideas and lessons. Hey all, We are hosting a hack night the first Monday of every month here at the Influitive office. The idea behind this event is to get new and experienced Ruby developers to connect, find interesting projects to work on, and show off cool things they found over the course of the night. Each hack night, anyone who wants to lead a project can write their idea on the whiteboard, and spend 5-10 minutes describing what they want to work on. Anyone attending can join up with any of the leaders, and we'll break into 4-5 groups each working on a cool, interesting problem. Here's the structure we'll be working with for each Hack Night: •6:30 - 7:00 - Leaders present their ideas for projects to work on •7:00 - 9:30 - Break into groups, work on projects •9:30 - 10:00 - Each group takes 5-10 minutes to present what they worked on and interesting things they learned or discovered. We're going to focus on teaming up newer Ruby developers with more experienced devs. Developers of any skill level are welcome to attend. If you're interested in leading a project, come in with your ideas and be ready to describe why you think it would be a cool learning opportunity for Ruby developers. Looking forward to seeing you there! Learn More: Toronto Ruby Brigades Rubyh Hack Night
