Vimy Ridge
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Richardson Perth—Wellington—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to pay tribute to the proud Canadians who put their lives on the line in the name of justice and liberty in Vimy some 80 years ago.
Vimy was the most remarkable of battles. Within three days, the Canadians captured and controlled the entire ridge and had captured more ground, prisoners and guns than any previous British offensive. In fact, the assault turned out to be the swiftest and most complete victory of the war.
Anyone who watched yesterday's news coverage of the anniversary commemorations will not forget the emotions on the faces of the Canadian veterans who had returned to Vimy. From the sorrow in their eyes, you could appreciate the pain of loss of their comrades who died serving their country.
Many veterans view events such as these as their last hurrah. Who will be around to celebrate the next anniversary, they question. But the celebrations will continue.
While those who made history will leave us, time will never erase the memories of their courage, their valour and their patriotism. May we remember them always.
Battle Of Vimy Ridge
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jean H. Leroux Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, from April 9 to April 12, 1997, we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Vimy Ridge victory by the Canadian expeditionary force, which included the 22nd Regiment.
That impregnable fortress had resisted for over two years. Canadian troops distinguished themselves by winning one the greatest victories. However, this was achieved at the cost of 11,000 human lives.
Today, in this House, I want to pay tribute to the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers who took part in the Vimy battle. I want to remind everyone that their sacrifice was not made in vain. The road to the greatest victories is always paved with tombstones.
All of us remember the heroism of these soldiers and have learned a lesson from their sacrifice. Our ultimate objective must be, now and forever, to achieve a lasting world peace.

Sharon Hayes Port Moody—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, today it is a privilege for me to applaud the courage of a young boy from my riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam.
Michael Cuccione, age 12, has experienced personal hardship that few of us have known in his battle through two bouts of Hodgkin's disease. Throughout his ordeal, music has been a source of strength. Now Michael shares his inspiration with young people across North America through his CD called "Make a Difference". His story will be told to many more through the book There are Survivors: The Michael Cuccione Story .
We salute you today, Michael, as you raise more than $100,000 for cancer research.
We salute you today, Michael, as you demonstrate the survival of hope and community to individuals and families across Canada.
We salute you today, Michael, as you communicate that hope to young people particularly, and challenge them to look beyond difference and disability.
We salute you today, Michael, because through the lyrics of your songs you remind us all that "if we do our part we can make a brand new start to make a difference to this world".
The Prime Minister
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bill Graham Rosedale, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week Canadians watched with interest and pride as our Prime Minister made his first official visit to the United States.
The spirit of this visit demonstrated that balance the Prime Minister has achieved in our relations with the United States: an independent Canada asserting its interests when faced with excessive U.S. power; yet a good neighbour able and willing to co-operate with our ally and most important trading partner when in our interest.
Indeed, Canadian initiatives internationally, such as our free trade agreement with Chile and our domestic fiscal success, enables our Prime Minister to provide useful examples for our American friends.
The value the American president places in the special relationship that our Prime Minister has developed was in turn reflected in his firm statement about the importance of Canadian unity.
The agreements signed will be useful to everyone. We can all be pleased with the success of a visit whose outcome and timing show the special nature of the relationship that the Prime Minister was able to establish with our powerful neighbour.
Défi-Emploi 18-25
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, young people in my riding of Vaudreuil want to find their place on the labour market. Youth unemployment is one of our government's main concerns.
I am therefore pleased to mention a new partnership initiative designed to promote the hiring of young people aged 18 to 25, in the greater Montreal region.
The Défi-Emploi 18-25 program is a partnership between the Department of Human Resources Development, the SQDM, the Quebec department of income security, the chamber of commerce of metropolitan Montreal, and other local stakeholders.
That program was set up to promote the hiring of young people aged 18 to 25 by contacting various businesses. Young people represent the future. Under the program, young people will be able to take part in free seminars on employment, which will include employers, employment experts and other young people.
Given last year's success with the Défi-Emploi program, we are proud that this initiative is being repeated this year.
Member For Mission-Coquitlam
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Daphne Jennings Mission—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, when I was first elected to come to this House I promised my constituents that if elected I would work with all members to pass good legislation. I believe I have kept my word.
When each of my bills and motions was chosen I asked each and every one of you for your help. The result is I have had the good fortune to have been instrumental in keeping lacrosse as a national sport and I received unanimous consent at second reading for our grandchildren's right to visit their grandparents.
Last night I am happy to say my third motion on reporting private members' business from committee to the House was passed. This completes the cycle begun in 1994 when we passed my freer votes motion and enacted free votes on private members' business.
I was pleased too that before Christmas I was able to present Reform's motion for recognition of the family which this House supported.
I will not be with you next session so I must thank all of the members of this House who have proved to me and to my constituents and my students of 30 years that democracy can work in this House. My colleagues, I thank you.
Quebec Representatives In Government
Statements By Members
April 10th, 1997 / 2:10 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, a journalist from the Journal de Montréal wrote the following, in a column entitled
The Usual Suspects'':For the federal Liberals, this should be all the easier, given that Quebec is still somewhat under-represented in the cabinet and that there is still some room''.
How can one claim that Quebecers are under-represented in the cabinet when the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, the President of the Treasury Board, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, the President of the Privy Council and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Minister of Human Resources Development, the Minister of Labour and the Secretary of State for the Federal Office of Regional Development are all from Quebec?
Quebec is already very well represented in the cabinet, and chances are that this representation will be supported by the substantial number of new Liberal members, following our victory in the next election.
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday members of all political parties sitting in the National Assembly, the PLQ, the ADQ and the Parti Quebecois, agreed to ask Ottawa to amend section 93 of the Constitution so as to permit the introduction of linguistic school boards.
Given the unanimity of the National Assembly, which was elected by all Quebecers, will the Prime Minister agree to move on the amendment requested by Quebec, which concerns an area of provincial jurisdiction and complies fully with section 23 of the Canadian Constitution?
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as our Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs said, we are waiting for a resolution from the Government of Quebec. When it comes, we will be very happy to examine it and to take appropriate action.
We were faced with a similar problem just a few months ago in the House. A resolution to amend the Constitution as it applies to Newfoundland and Labrador and their education system was introduced, and everything turned out fine.
I am very confident that things will go just as well when we receive the resolution from the Government of Quebec, but we must wait for people to express their views before we can proceed.
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows very well that Mr. Mulcair introduced a resolution that received the unanimous approval of all members of the National Assembly. He also knows that the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs said yesterday that the will of the National Assembly was not enough.
Just today, the Prime Minister was speaking about hypothetical opposition from church representatives, when the bishops have never, throughout this longstanding debate in Quebec, opposed the introduction of linguistic school boards.
Why refer to hypothetical opposition from church representatives when, in the case of Newfoundland, in fact, we know that church representatives were opposed, and the Prime Minister agreed to the request from the Newfoundland legislature, even though church representatives were opposed, but the elected representatives of the people of Newfoundland wanted to go ahead?
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as the minister responsible said, a broad consensus is required. I am very happy to see that a consensus seems to be taking definite shape in the National Assembly. But I also know that people may wish to make representations to us, as they did in the case of Newfoundland. We listened to them, and then took action.
This is how the democratic system works. A resolution must be passed here, in the House of Commons, and in the Senate. It took several months before Newfoundland's problem was sorted out, because of holdups that occurred in fact in the other Chamber. In any case, we shall see. We shall have to wait to see the resolution. And if it is unanimous, so much the better.
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I ask the Prime Minister if, given the resolution passed unanimously by all members of the National Assembly, he will agree to move quickly. The official opposition in this House will give him its full support. Will he agree, on behalf of his party, to ask the Liberal and Conservative senators to do likewise, so that this amendment may be passed before the upcoming election?
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we will receive the resolution, we will examine it as required, and we will introduce it in the House of Commons. At that time, we will ask members to proceed as quickly as possible.
Sometimes, people object to unanimous situations in the House, and the Standing Orders of the House must be observed. As for the Senate, we shall see. First of all, the House of Commons must vote on it. When we have seen the resolution and it has been approved by cabinet, we will then introduce it in the House as soon as possible.
As for the date of the election, nobody knows what it is yet, so until then it is not possible to say whether or not the other objective can be met.
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Pierrette Venne Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
In acting as they are with the linguistic school board situation, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs are demonstrating exactly why all of the governments of Quebec, whether sovereignist or federalist, have denounced or rejected the Canadian Constitution which was imposed on Quebec 15 years ago.
Will the Prime Minister admit that he is once again making use of the 1982 Constitution to intervene directly in a matter which falls under the jurisdiction of the National Assembly, in order to dictate to Quebecers how they are to handle their own affairs?
Linguistic School Boards
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, there is but one Constitution in Canada and we respect it. There is an obligation for the House of Commons to receive resolutions from a provincial government, to study them and to vote on them.
As I have just said, it is all the better if there is a broad consensus in Quebec and a unanimous vote in the Quebec National Assembly. That will, I hope, facilitate the debate here. Everyone's point of view must be heard, however, for this is a democracy.

Vacuum adapter reduces dust exponentially!
To better control the dust in his shop, Club member Raymond Lindeman of Paynesville, Minnesota, crafted this vacuum adapter for his sander. He cut the basic shape from a scrap of pine on his band saw and then used a 1-in.-dia. Forstner bit to create the main hole on one end that allows him to attach the hose from his shop vacuum. Finally, he used a 3/8-in. wood bit to drill a series of holes for the oval opening at the other end. Brought to you by: American Profile

First one against some no name with 5 losses and just 9 KOs in 33 wins. Second one will be another beatdown at the hands of Mayweather in the fall.
Last one, not announced, but sure to be a winnable fight so he can ride off into the sunset a winner. In his mind at least. Delahoya, given his skill set and the promise he showed at a young age, will go down as a disappointment in my book.
Never took boxing seriously enough, but who am I to begrudge him for that? He's loaded ... with probably the most viable promotion company in the sport, Golden Showe ... errr ... Golden Boy Promotions.
Oscar was a beast in the late 90s. Making his bones beating up Julio Cesar Chavez, Macho Camacho, and Sweet Pea Whitaker. Will never forget his win over Ike Quartey when they were the top two welterweights in the world, one of the greatest fights I've seen to this day.
But sadly, for me, the defining moment of his career in my mind is when he had the MEGA fight with Trinidad. Got out to a great start and just quit fighting in the 7th, letting Tito take the last six rounds en route to a close loss via decision. I was down at OSU partying with some friends for that fight, and will never forget it. Was a huge, huge fight.

PSNH pitches in $40,000 for Portsmouth bridge lights
PORTSMOUTH - A large check from Public Service of New Hampshire pushed the Memorial Bridge Illumination Subcommittee past the halfway point in their $200,000 fundraising goal.
The subcommittee hopes to raise enough funds to illuminate the new Route 1 bridge connecting Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine, by the time it is completed in July.
The plan calls for down lighting of the two vertical spans, under-lighting of the center span when it is lifted and lowered and lighting of the memorial plaque.
On Tuesday, PSNH presented the committee with a $40,000 check to help the committee meet their goal. Subcommittee chairman Peter Somssich said that brings the total funds raised so far to just over $100,000, with much of it coming from small donations of under $1,000.
He said the subcommittee's hope is that other businesses will be encouraged to support the project as a result of PSNH's contribution.
At least $150,000 has to be pledged in order for the subcommittee to give the New Hampshire Department of Transportation the go-ahead to start working with the bridge contractor to get the project going. If they do not reach the final goal of $200,000, the center span will not be lit.
The project will use energy-efficient light-emitting diode lighting technology to illuminate various features of the new bridge, something that helped attract PSNH to the project.
PSNH division manager Rich Chagnon said the project will assist in promoting public awareness of using energy-efficient lighting to save resources and reduce energy costs.
The committee has estimated the operating costs of the lights, which will have color-changing capability, at less than $1,000 annually.
"We are pleased to be able to play a role in seeing that this exciting idea becomes a reality," Chagnon said.
Last Friday, one light was set up as a test on the south horizontal span of the bridge for about 40 minutes to see how the light played with the surface metal of the bridge. Somssich said the lighting vendor recently selected for the project, LumenPulse, has offered to do a public demonstration of how the lighting will look when the south tower is fully erected in March.
The illumination has been designed by John Powell, designer of the illumination of several bridges in Boston.
Information about the project is available at www.memoriabridgeproject.com and at portsmouthbridges.com.

Fatal Plane Crash In Lane County Kills Four, Names Released
Four people who worked for the Oregon Country Fair have been identified as the victims of a weekend crash of a small airplane in Lane County.
The fair is a three-day music and crafts gathering with roots in the counterculture. The 43rd fair is scheduled for mid-July at Veneta, west of Eugene.
The plane went down Saturday afternoon shortly after taking off from a private airstrip.
KVAL-TV reports the Lane County sheriff's office released the names of the victims Monday.
Two were from Eugene: 41-year-old Jerome Roch Delbosc D'Auzon and 27-year-old Erin Thomas Frank Noble.
Two were from Junction City: 40-year-old Robyn Leigh Weir and 37-year-old Christopher Robin Kent.
Officials haven't said what caused the crash. A federal agency investigation could take months.

Here's how RW members rated this race (191 votes).
In short: Well organised race with lots of pb potentialIn full: Another good race from Nice Work, with t shirt at the end although I think I missed the Jaffa cakes! Cold and windy and would agree that the end was a bit muddled but chip timing and the finish arch good. Results out very promptlyDate of review: March 11, 2013
In short: This was my 16th half marathon - worst medal yet!In full: Very clubby race. Even a coach bringing runners from the London area. Terrible medal - looked like something out of a small child's cracker. Got charged the 'on the day' price, even though I applied in advance. Quite muddled at the end - cars and people all over the place. The marshals were gesticulating wildly and shouting at the top their voices to guide runners. Flat and fast - the weather was challenging, but didn't deter anybody. Marshals around the route were very good. Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: My second year, PB again, so flat and fast!In full: This was my second year running Lydd. It is as a flat a course as you are likely to find which makes for it to be a great place to go for that PB and a good time in your marathon training. Roads are very quiet with very friendly stewards directing and cheering you on. As it is flat and close to the coast it can get a bit windy and it did get a bit stiff at times. Goodie bag great at the end:medal, t-shirt and food. Thoughly enjoyed it again and will be back next year.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Great almost traffic-free PB run. Friendly organisers and great effort from the Guides and scouts In full: Much to my utter shame and embarrassment, I turned up 10 minutes late to this event (Don't rely on Google Maps!) I couldn't fault the organisers in how they dealt with getting me to on my way. On the plus side, I spent the entire run overtaking other runners which was a great confidence boost. Agree that there was little in the way of local support, but at -4 with wind chill that's not too surprising.I would definitely do this event again and thoroughly recommend it as a training run for Spring marathon runners. It's superb value and so quiet and relaxing on the way round. I shaved over 19 minutes off my PB and got in under two hours.Thank you to the marshals, stewards and lovely guides, brownies and scouts who cheered us so magnificently.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Flat and quick but open to the elements!In full: Not a fan of a lap round the playing field on grass before venturing out onto the country lanes around Lydd. The flattest race I've done and would have been an even bigger PB had it not been for the relentless wind which seemed to be in your face for the whole race!Very quiet country lanes with a few dodgy patches of muddy track, not much to look at across the marshes. 2013 looked particularly bleak! will pay on the day next year if the weather is better, although that may require a remortgage as its a Nice Work event! Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Definitely coming backIn full: Very well organised race, and absolutely brilliant for those new to half marathons. Although lacking in supporters, the marshalls and volunteers were very positive and encouraging, especially the little ones who seemed to thrive in it all, as was the cute little girl with her saucepan and wooden spoon somewhere around 8 miles! The medal, t-shirt and penguin were well received at the end!Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: fantastic race...well organised as usual!Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Great pre marathon runIn full: As I'm doing Brighton marathon in 4 weeks thought I'd better do my 1st half marathon 1st and I totally enjoyed it ran the whole route without stopping nice flat route. Ppl seemed great some great runners was a bit pushy at the start but once everyone set off to there speeds it was perfect then defintly reccomend this I'm coming back next year. And plus also you can enter on the day as I did because I only found out about few days before it Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Fast and flat, well worth a visitIn full: Apart from icy winds especially at miles 9 to 13 I enjoyed this race and would definitely return. No problems with parking at The Rype and managed to keep warm at the start in the hut. My only gripe and it is a small one is the finish, i've never run this before so wasn't 100% sure on where I was going due to the amount of spectators walking towards me, not sure how this can be managed maybe more coning off required? All in all very good race and the Jaffa cakes at the end were very welcome!! Must also mention all the little ones and helpers who were out in the freezing cold giving out drinks and support they all deserve a medal!! Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Great flat half. Well organised.In full: Enjoyable loop around Walland Marsh. The freezing cold was a good incentive to keep going as fast as possible. Date of review: March 11, 2013

nice taste, not gritty. I find tooth paste is expensive when buy natural it is my only complaint.
wonderful flavour
Posted by 5661632949204386005 on Oct 06, 2016
The good thing about Toms Wintermint in fact all of Toms products is that they are not too sweet. A pleasant zingy flavour. If only they would bring back the fennel flavour and the baking soda I would be very happy.
Posted by 4714913675934723566 on May 03, 2015
It's less fresh-tasting than traditional mainstream toothpaste but more effective. My teeth are whiter and less sensitive!

Furniture Specifications
Kenai Community Library was a full building remodel that included all new furniture and fixtures. We worked closely with the librarian and her staff to select furniture and fabrics that complimented the architecture and would hold up to heavy use by the entire community. Custom millwork was designed for the lap top bar, information desk, and children's librarian's desk.
Seward Community Library and Museum was a group-up project in which I focused ont he furniture package. There were many factors to consider including existing furniture to be reused and new peices to blend the old with the new architecture and interiors.

Sturgeon project could restore species numbers
DORR, Mich. – For generations untold, a colossal fish known as the name (pronounced nah' may) was crucial to survival for the indigenous people of the Great Lakes region. Well-worn paths lead to spawning grounds at the sandbar where Bear Creek meets the Kalamazoo River in Southwest Michigan.
Here, the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of the Pottawatomi Indians of the Gun Lake Tribe once brought whole families to spear the seasonal catch.
The intriguing ancient underwater species – whose proportions (up to at least 200 pounds) and longevity (up to at least 100 years) warrant many a myth – came to be called lake sturgeon, valued by non-Indians for trophy fishing and caviar, as well as by Native Americans.
"The sturgeon is the highest order of our clan system; in the old days we would take our hereditary chiefs from the sturgeon clan, because the sturgeon is a sacred animal," said tribal elder Sydney Martin, 70, a native of Bradley, Mich. "It is the one who intercedes for us to the creator, specifically on the weather, making it storm or rain or snow."
The word for prayer in the Pottawatomi language of Anishinabek is related to the word for sturgeon: "nama".
Without the sturgeon, no Pottawatomi would remain in Michigan today, Martin wagers. In the 19th Century's Trail of Tears era, federal policies forced tribal members to move off their lands to Oklahoma and Kansas.
"When the white people came to remove us from Allegan County, our people hid out in the large woods along the Kalamazoo River and its tributaries," she said. "When the sturgeon would come through there once a year, the Anishinabek would take those; we could dry that and we would have enough food to last our families a year."
Decades of habitat pressures that accompanied Michigan's settlement and development practically wiped out the endemic, or local, version of the Acipenseridae family, a fish that had endured since prehistoric times. Now considered a threatened species, its catch is limited by state law to one per angler per year, requires a special harvest tag and has other region-specific regulations.
The sturgeon's survival – even after the 2011 Enbridge 6B Pipeline break dumped an estimated 1.1 million gallons diluted bitumen or tar-sands crude-oil into the Kalamazoo River upstream from spawning grounds – constitutes a signal, Martin said.
"We realize that is for a reason. The sturgeon is protecting the sacred river for us – not just Indians, but for the whole earth.
"They probably are doing things that none of us know anything about. They probably are cleaning the river."
Promising future
After watching their families' prime historical source of food and faith nearly perish from the Kalamazoo River, the authorities of the Gun Lake Tribe now are on the verge of signing an accord for a joint effort to restore the sturgeon population.
"It's not approved by all the parties yet, but we're still working together like it was in effect," Gun Lake Tribe Environmental Director Elizabeth Binoniemi Smith said. "We're expecting it to get signed very, very soon."
The tribe is partnering with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Michigan Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Allegan County Parks Department, and the non-profit Kalamazoo River Sturgeon for Tomorrow to restore the remnant dinosaurs of the deep to a self-sustaining level in the waterway.
Before the project started, the Kalamazoo's sturgeon population was estimated at no more than 30. Pollution, dams, encroachment and overfishing had ruined it.
"Like our ancestors, the sturgeon was taken almost to the point of extinction," former Gun Lake Tribal Councilor Punkin Shananaquet said. "There are accounts of the sturgeon being stacked like lumber the meat left to rot because the effort was only to take the eggs, or the caviar, for use in the rich's 16th 20th Century diets."
This spring, the restoration partnership members identified enough mature sturgeon to estimate that as many as 100 adults live in the watershed.
The small figures speak to the painstaking nature of bringing back the 200-million-year-old species from the brink of extinction. In 2012, not a single specimen was seen.
The annual migrants from Lake Michigan didn't lay their eggs that year for a long time because the water was so warm, Gun Lake Tribe Environmental Technician Jason Lorenz said.
By May, eight adults had been spotted; four small fry were growing in the rearing facility, and a couple dozen fertilized eggs were being carefully monitored.
"They don't spawn until in their teens, so they might not be back to spawn for 15 years. Sometimes they might come up the river and not spawn," Lorenz said. "It's hard to see how well it's working because it takes so long.
"Hopefully you get to see some progress from work that you've done before you retire," he said.
The stewards of the Kalamazoo lake sturgeon recruit volunteers, guard against poaching, fortify stream banks, conduct research and sampling, afford personal treatment to every netted sturgeon, and fit the fish with electronic tracking devices. They collect eggs and sperm, capture larvae, and supervise fertilization and growth of hatchlings at a portable streamside hatchery located in the New Richmond Bridge County Park. They also manage the release of the fingerlings raised in captivity.
Restoration elsewhere
The Kalamazoo is one of 24 watersheds in Michigan with lake sturgeon still at large.
The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, headquartered at Manistee, in Northern Michigan, is leading another sturgeon repopulation program. Lorenz, a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, championed sturgeon restoration at Black Lake on the Cheboygan River, also in Northern Michigan, before joining the Gun Lake Tribe's new effort on the Kalamazoo.
"Cheboygan and Black Lake have a good population of sturgeon, but we don't want to bring those fish down here because they are not our Kalamazoo fish," he said. "Fish imprint on what river they come to spawn. We raise larvae with Kalamazoo River water so they come back."
The restoration partners' portable hatchery, located north of Fennville and east of Saugatuck in rural Allegan County, hosted a celebration in connection with its first successful sturgeon release, returning more than 100 fish to the Kalamazoo in September 2011. A representative of the Gun Lake Tribe offered a blessing in the tradition of the Anishinabek (Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Odawa), or Three Fires Confederacy.
Asked what successful sturgeon restoration would mean to her people, Martin, grandmother of seven and great grandmother of two, replied: "Everybody would be a lot more at peace with each other and with Mother Earth. We recognized way-back-when that sturgeons live to be 100 years old or more and they are wise.
"It would be the ideal way to live to have that knowledge back, because in knowledge there is confidence, self-sufficiency and pride that you're contributing to life here on Mother Earth. Nothing else can do that for you: not alcohol and not drugs. It's finding it within yourself. That's what that sturgeon represents."

At the time of the Domesday Survey Ellisfield was part of the estate of the Bishop of Bayeux and was held by Hugh de Port. The overlordship remained with the de Ports and passed to the St. Johns in the thirteenth century. The history of the manor is rather confused until in 1386 it passed to Sir Walter Sandys. A Sir William Sandys who inherited in 1496 was a favourite of Henry VIII and was made Lord Chamberlain and created Baron Sandys. In 1657 the fifth Lord Sandys sold the property and it was divided considerably. However by 1789 it was mostly reunited and purchased by John Wallop, Earl of Portsmouth.
A second manor in the area was held by the Prior of Southwick. In the reign of Edward II the prior appears as joint Lord of Ellis field but after 1428 there is no mention of the priory's land.
Flints, arrowheads and other prehistoric implements discovered in the parish indicate extensive settlement in pre-Roman times. The original church of St. Martin was built before the reign of Henry III (1216-1272), but was restored in 1872.
Further information on attractions to discover in the area and other interesting villages to visit is available. For information on public services for Ellisfield please take a look at the Basingstoke local pages.

Much is changing in the world of the 2013 NFL draft. The January 15 deadline for underclassmen to enter is nearly here, with already over 70 juniors and redshirt sophomores entering this draft class.
Those 70 entrants figure to add to the overall strength of the class, but they're also notable for the players who didn't declare. Jake Matthews and Taylor Lewan both head back to school after being potential top-10 picks. That not only hurts the overall class, but really hurts those teams who need a left tackle early in Round 1.
Also updating is the draft order. With four more teams being eliminated from the playoffs, we have an updated order through pick No. 28.
Who is rising up the board, which team needs are becoming clearer, and where exactly will your team look in the 2013 draft? A two-round mock draft awaits you.

Zimbabwe recently held a presidential runoff election amid reports of voter intimidation and despite requests from regional leaders – including the African Union – asking President Mugabe to postpone and speak with opposition leaders. The United States and other countries will discuss the circumstances in Zimbabwe with members of the United Nations Security Council and G-8 partners.
How should the international community respond to the elections in Zimbabwe?
Joe in Tennessee writes:
Spend about 2 dollars for a .308 cartridge and one good USMC sniper.
It would solve a lot of the world's problems if you think about it right now.
We can deliberate about not using fist first, but the mentality of some world leaders today simply denotes it.
Each day a tyrant stays in office, more innocent people die or suffer and the world simply cannot afford that any longer. It is an economic burden which has put all of us at risk of starvation and banking dilemmas. Is the life of this one individual worth more than the lives he has cost and made to suffer?
If we put sanctions on him, the people suffer, he does not. If we arm the people to fight against him, more are killed and suffer, but they would earn their freedom and become more united.
He has already stated he will not leave office regardless of the voting outcome or involvements from outside pressure. He is rich, he does not have to...what options are there beyond elimination in one respect or another?
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Fake elections could be deemed a crime against humanity, and the winner prosecuted.
This could place power-hungry politicians in prison but if their party stuffs the ballot box or "realigns" the digital record, they deserve it. Under Nuremburg rules, "just following orders" is no excuse and the candidate should be responsible for the acts of his agents.
Zimbabwe, a name associated with failure; Rhodesia, a name associated with success; Mugabe, a name associated with black tyranny, will need a violent revolution to rid itself of its thugocracy. Such a revolution should be allowed to occur without U.S. assistance. Let the local people make their own decisions. No more U.S. endorsements of other people's politicians. Let African leaders be judged by their work, not our own diplomatic blather.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Better send in the international "calvary" to prevent a bloodbath.
I mean Now. Not after it happens.
If Mugabe won't heed the Sec. Council's Presidential Statement issued Monday, then removal from power becomes neccessary to prevent a potential crime against humanity.
Political pressure is one thing, but other options become needed when that does not work.
Mugabe probably needs a thourough medical exam, because it is hard for me to imagine how an individual can change from a statesman to a monster in the time he has without possibly suffering from a brain tumor, Alzhimers, or organic brain syndrome.
It's just a thought that perhaps a medical condition exists that might account for the change in his personality and policies over the years.
Why else would a leader intentionally run his country into the ground as totaly as he has.
My question is why was he ever allowed to in the first place?
I believe only the people of Zimbabwe can really answer that.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
The obvious answer is to demand the UN do something more than shake a finger at Mugabe.
What happened to Zimbabwe's neighbors? Do they not wish to help? Hello, South Africa? Are you there?
Are they going to sit on their hands while a black Pol Pot rises to power? Will Mugabe's "brown shirts" be ignored while they execute all political opponents?
When will African nations begin to stand up and fight for their liberty? Or does the White Man's Burden last forever?
For those whose grasp of history ends at yesterday's sitcome episode:
"Take up the White Man's burden --
The savage wars of peace --
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to naught."
(R. Kipling - 1899)
Eric in New Mexico writes:
To not act in response is in itself an action. The question becomes, Do we do more harm by not acting to remove this illegitimate govenment? Or more harm by the process of removal?
I don't think Joe's ".308" solution would be legal unless an executive order was recinded, but if it were, that would probbably be a .50 cal. from a Barrett Rifle instead of a .308 round.
Joe must be trying to save the taxpayer a buck on ammo, when for just a few dollars more....we could get it done right.
But as we see in the following, it really is up to the people:
Remarks by Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, U.S. Permanent Representative, on Sudan and Zimbabwe at the Security Council Stakeout, June 24, 2008
(in progress)
Ambassador Khalilzad: Well we have been heartened by the reaction around the world to the resolution. We have been heartened by the reaction particularly in Africa; the government of Zimbabwe is isolating itself, not only from the broader world but also in Africa. As I said yesterday it was heartening that African members of the Council voted for the condemnation of the government and for a strong statement. We will look at measures to be taken in the face of the defiance. We don't have any specific date or measure at this point in mind. We haven't initiated those discussions. But as you know we move in sequence. First you have to make the call to demand, to instruct. And the Security Council did that yesterday, unanimously. Now we have to give it a little bit of time to see what the reaction is and then we have to look at what do you do to bring about compliance. We are in the phase of assessing the reaction to the PRST.
Reporter: Mr. Ambassador, the response to that call seems to have just been given right here at the microphone about five seconds before you were here. The call seems to have been completely just rebuff what the Security Council did and said yesterday. A question of what's next was answered of let them try in terms of intervention and anything else. That seems pretty defiant. What's your country's position now on the next step given that response? It seems pretty clear cut.
Ambassador Khalilzad: As I said, one step at a time. We will consider further steps. As I said that was the first important thing that the Security Council has done on Zimbabwe. It was adopted unanimously that itself was a strong message of success for the Security Council, and a failure for the government. The government is further isolating itself and undermining its standing and its legitimacy. We will obviously, in consultation with colleagues in the Council and with Africans consider additional steps but I don't have anything specific for you today with regards to the next step.
Reporter: Ambassador, I'm talking about measures. Zimbabwe is already on the sanctions, and more sanctions of course won't hurt Mugabe but only the people. Will maybe U.S. or other European countries in the Security Council think about removing Mugabe from power?
Ambassador Khalilzad: Well, the decision about removing Mr. Mugabe from power is a decision that the Zimbabwe people will have to make. You know that in the election that took place in March, even by government numbers he got less than Mr. Tsvangirai, who got more than 47%, while Mr. Mugabe got 43%. And Parliamentary elections, similarly, the opposition got more seats than the ruling party. It is clear based on that election what the preference of the people of Zimbabwe was. With regard to sanctions, of course, he has sanctioned his people. His economic policies have been a sanctions or economic sanctions regime against the people. You know, so many people there need international help. As we go forward, we want to - we would want to think about - and as I said I don't have anything specific at this point about what can be done vis-a-vie the regime, the ruling party - there is no ill intent on the part of the international community, the United States, towards the people of Zimbabwe. We see them as victims of the policies of President Mugabe.
John in Greece writes:
John @ Zharkov in U.S.A.
Although I am not an expert in African socio-political matters actually I do not know anything at all about these very "complicated" countries/tribes/religious mosaics - I disagree with you that "No more U.S. endorsements of other people's politicians" is needed.
I won't comment on the word "endorsement" that you use, but I will do attempt to persuade you concerning the "river flow" - let me use this improvised term of mine.
America has an ethical obligation to help and "guide" such regions until people there reach the minimum humanitarian and democratic standards in order for them to act safely for the rest of the globe and of course themselves.
What I mean?
Here is the "river flow" theory:
Through your ideas, you suggest that U.S.A. should be transformed into a "village".
I believe that you think that by "closing the doors and windows" we can relax and just enjoy things: simple happy village life, far way from the problems of the "city" and the "globe".
This is your probable UTOPIA theory "your favorite wor(l)d"
Although village-life is good, unfortunately the "river flows". And some day the water is outside OUR small, happy, village house. This happens because a river flows globally and not locally.
And then, when you finally desire to open up the doors and windows outside your little claustrophobic local house? you can't. The global river water is outside your door and presses you!
At the beginning, you thought like the water flow was supposed to stop in the first village. On the contrary, it continued via many other villages and became stronger, until it reached YOURS.
And then you think: I wish we had a better "endorsement of flow", before we closed the doors.
I really have no opinion - I do not have the knowledge - about "Elections in Zimbabwe", but we have to congratulate all these people in DoS that really work hard under very bad conditions. And they do it for all of us.
I will just remind you of this post:
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
@ John in Greece -- John in Greece, it is not too late for America to turn away from building an empire and go back to being an ordinary country again. America in perpetual war serves our enemies.
We as a nation have a tendency to avoid reality by substituting our paradigm as our as reality.
We suffer from "change blindness" in which fewer freedoms are promoted as beneficial and most of us are too busy to notice the difference.
Peception management is used by the federal government against our civilian population in a similar manner as the military uses it in war. Federal perception management teams spend time working the internet and with news media to ensure Americans continue to believe, despite what they see with their own eyes, that our lives, liberty, and property are safe from government intrusion and confiscation; our dollar is sound and our wars are won.
These psychological operations continue to neutralize and de-legitimatize dissent as "conspiracy theories" or "unpatriotic" or evidence of chronic malcontent. Perception management capitalizes on human intangibles such as history, culture, religion, and ideology, to sustain the illusion of freedom as part of an effective influence campaign in America.
The dissonance of a half-trillion-dollar war resulting in $5.00 per gallon fuel in America shatters the illusion that invading Iraq was a smart idea but some today still hope that it was, while they decide between eating today or getting to work tomorrow.
The current revolution in federal power is now changing the way we live and the power balance set by the constitution, during which revolution we repeat to ourselves that we are still "free", or, "things are not too bad yet", or "I can still vote". The increasing deception capabilities of our federal government poses a major risk to our freedom precisely because it has been so successful.
Many of us still believe our telephone conversations are private; that a search warrant is required to search our homes; that Pat Tillman was killed by enemy fire; that no prisoner mistreatment occurred at Abu Ghraib; that Saddam was responsible for 9/11; that the Marc Rich pardon was a routine presidential decision; that Monica Lewinsky was a disgruntled federal employee; that the dollar did not decline in purchasing power; and America is not bankrupt as a result of government expenses exceeding government revenue. We cling to the paradigm of a free, prosperous, democratic America despite every indicator pointing the wrong way.
Our government seeks total information awareness, not total privacy protection. The United States and the European Union are nearing completion of an agreement that would allow our government agencies to exchange private, personal information with foreign governments - including credit card transactions, travel histories and Internet browsing habits - destroying privacy for people on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The global spy network being created to track Americans even outside their country is, of course, unconstitutional, and not consistent with our right to be free from government intrusion. It is not in the nature of federal socialism to trust the people, hence the continuing demand for still more information. When bureaucrats think of freedom, "less is more". They ask us to trade freedom for security.
So we should be more than skeptical of anything the federal government rhapsodizes about. We should remember that Orwell's Ministry of Plenty announced every year that the standard of living rose 20%. All the while, life in Oceania grew more miserable, as is citizens toiled to support their totalitarian government and its endless wars.
Lewis in Japan writes:
Unfortunately, we don't have a whole lot of options available to us. Loudly condemn the "election" and Mugabe, pressure Mbeki and the African Union to do the same and press for increased international isolation of Zimbabwe- not that starving the people will do a whole lot to change Mugabe's mind. Military action would trigger memories of white colonialism (like we're not seen as imperialist enough already) and even taking out Mugabe would only result in Zimbabwe being ruled by a Burmese-styled junta.
It seems as if South Africa is key to finding an acceptable solution. Unfortunately, with the World Cup fast approaching and SA's leader in possession of a noodle strand for a spinal cord, it doesn't look as if an easy fix is in the cards.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
The first mistake the DoS is making is in referring to the sham in Zimbabwe as an "election". There was no election in the second round of voting because the voters were not allowed to freely vote for the candidate of their choice.
The first election had resulted in a president being elected who was not Robert Mugabe, and that should be sufficient to exclude Mugabe from all international forums and conferences because he is now merely a member of the general public of Zimbabwe despite his gang of thugs.
The gentleman who is president of Zimbabwe today, Morgan Tsvangirai, is the duly elected leader of Zimbabwe and should be the one invited to talk at the U.N. and other forums wherever possible. If necessary, U.N. troops should be sent to Zimbabwe to extract their president from his refuge and bring him to safety where he may plan the next move to obtain possession of his office.
Robert Mugabe is no longer relevant to the future of Zimbabwe other than as a criminal usurper of democratic elections and as such, he belongs in prison.
Unfortunately, Mr. Mugabe is the poster-boy for the need for an International Court of Justice and an international arrest warrant to seize him wherever he can be found and brought to trial for election fraud, terrorism and oppression. If the War on Terrorism means anything, it should mean that a nation's former leader cannot be permitted to terrorize his own people.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
They say that even negative events can have productive results.
We are experiencing the greatest outcome in decades right now over this unfortunate situation: Unification of the Free States-Countries of all Africa unifying in protest.
1. It shows a closer center to Nationalism for a unified country.
2. The passion with which all Nations on earth are unified against this madman shows a more unified political parameters which will be accepted.
3. The immediate response shows the seriousness of all concerned with poor leadership.
We all do have to realize that even the smallest country which may or may not affect us directly can do so. WWI was a prime example of how Serbian teenagers actually set of a domino effect that brought the entire world to conflict. In fact more people were killed prior to WWI than in the war itself. Like eight million as I recall. One little country, three teenagers restructured the entire tectonic political arena in Europe and set the stage for 50 years of war. This example alone shows us that we cannot accept terrorism by either leadership to its citizens nor externally to a solvent government anywhere in the world.
RB in New York writes:
The International Community should be outraged. The world's leaders must join together to express their utter contempt for Mugabe and his regime. Mugabe should be placed on trials for crimes against humanity and planting seeds of genocide. USG should take the lead. The New York Times recent front-page photo of the baby with broken legs tells all. Mentally-ill despots should not be presidents. ...Suggesting a coalition or unity government in Zimbabwe; is adding insult to injury.

Dipnote bloggers,
General Omar Bradley once said, "Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants, we know more about war than we do about peace, more about killing than about living."
Mine is a philosophical question --
At what point does the international community determine that the ethical infant's diapers need changing, as the smell of ill intent has become all too overwhelming and noxious to Humanity?

David Hall: The 1917-S Obverse is one of the key dates in the Walking Liberty half dollar series. In fact, several decades ago this was the most expensive coin in the series in mint state condition. We now known the 1921-S, 1919-D and several others are quite a bit rarer. Still, this is a very scarce coin in all but the very lowest grades. VFs and EFs are really hard to find. This is a rare coin in mint state and Gems are very rare. Strike is usually not an issue. The luster on Gems, when you find them, is usually good, though of course the early Walkers don't have that white blast of the later dates and the color is usually a softer white.

As a full-time working mom with an hour commute and two children with "ideas" like "I want to play soccer and do gymnastics", there isn't a ton of time to work on this site lately. However, I'm ever-so-slowly making updates. The design / code is being refactored. The content is being updated. New posts are being created. A new index will have All The Things Flinger. And, finally, there might even be a complete(ish) about page. As a human who is always under change, growth, and self reflection, you can expect that the "about me" page should never be static.
