New Braunfels City Council members accepted the petitions Friday that were certified by the city secretary. District 6 Councilman Ken Valentine spearheaded the three petitions. The petition to designate the fairgrounds a city park was filed Monday. It had 1,277 signatures certified as valid by City Secretary Michael Resendez. Resendez said the petition to ban aluminum containers had 1,088 valid signatures, and the convention and visitors bureau petition had 1,140 valid signatures. Each petition required 1,055 valid signatures, Resendez said. City Manager Chuck Pinto said council would have IO days, beginning July 17, to either adopt the language on the petitions or to set an election. "The end of the 10-day period is July 26, which is when council's next regular meeting is," he said.

During two days of meetings, county commissioners called in elected officials and department heads who had requested either additional Scouts build Panther Canyon up, vandals tear it down By Ron Malonay Staff Writer In 1974, a local Eagle Scout aspirant mapped out a trail in Panther Canyon. I Ie learned about its flora and fauna, marked a trail and handcrafted little signs explaining to hikers what the trees were. Then, someone trashed the trail and stole the signs. I Ie replaced them twice. The scout knew a certain young motorcyclist had done the deeds, even if he couldn't legally prove it. So, with a scout's resourcefulness, he dealt with the problem himself, stringing a wire across the trail as a blunt warning. Snagging the wire and being knocked off his motorcycle, the offender got the message — and the vandalism ended. Times change, and some things change with them. A scout in today's politically correct environment could never take the law into his own hands—or publicly advocate it. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is vandalism in Panther Canyon. The trail up the canyon offers a 110-foot increase in altitude as it winds between two residential areas for more than a mile, creating a wilderness hiking experience in the middle of New Braunfels that runs from Landa Park up past New Braunfels I Ugh School. This past year, a $25,000 grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife and hundreds of hours of volunteer labor — many from Boy Scouts who have built several footbridges across the creekbed See VANDALISM, Page 7A Photos by DAVID IWGRAM/Herald-Zeitung (Top) Zack Salesman sits on what is left of the bridge he built in Panther Canyon as part of his Eagle Scout project.

At the end of the process, they were faced with a $25 million proposed general fund budget that would not allow even cost-of-living raises next year without a tax increase. "I don't envision any possibility of raises happening unless we can uncover additional revenue we haven't spotted yet," said Precinct 2 Commissioner Jay Mil-likin. "We've had to make some tough decisions on expenditures. But we're still working on it. We have a couple of weeks." Minikin said he would like to see at least cost-of-living raises to keep employees current with inflation. "I'm just not sure we're going to be able to get there," Minikin said. "There isn't much to work with."

Casten Ave, By Scott Mahon Staff Writer Consultants will present Monday their first report to the New Braunfels City Council on whether the civic center should be expanded to meet the needs of the city's convention industry. A Minneapolis consulting firm, Conventions, Sports and Leisure, was hired in February to study New Braunfels' convention industry after council agreed to do a feasibility study before expanding the existing civic center or building a new facility. The first phase of the study will cost $60,000. The second phase will cost an additional $25,000. A 1999 study completed by a Houston consulting firm proposed a new civic center on Gruene Road. However, earlier this year, officials said the study was obsolete. Since 1999, the city has held two elections regarding a new civic center, and council has discussed a number of proposals, including expanding the existing civic center, building a new $14 million civic center on the Comal River or building a new facility on South Casten Avenue.

Two years after the anti-extravagance campaign regarding government agencies' consumption, initiated in late 2013, total volume sales of spirits and wine posted growth in 2015. Rising individual and family consumption is the major reason attributed to the recovery.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Trip Ideas – Utah or Western Colorado in June
Mar 19, 2014 at 8:40 pm #1314626
I am looking to plan a 7+ day trip in early June. I'm currently in OR, but my hiking buddies are in AZ, so I was thinking we could meet in the "middle" – maybe somewhere in Utah or Western Colorado (although I suppose somewhere in California is also a possibility).
My goals for the trip are:
1. Be dog-friendly
2. Allow for some fishing (i.e. backcountry lakes and rivers)
3. Avoid snow (for the most part)
Being early June, I am wondering if there is anywhere that is likely to be snow-free but still have some lakes?
I spent a week in the Uintas in September last year and had an awesome time, so I was thinking of returning there. Does anyone have an idea of the current snow levels there? Last I read, Colorado was above average for snow this year.Mar 19, 2014 at 9:05 pm #2084438

The Pecos in New Mexico might fit the bill for you. Close to Santa Fe (where I assume there is an airport). I was just up there (on snow shoes).
All that said I might stick with the Unitas, bigger area, and probably just as scenic if not more so.Mar 19, 2014 at 9:10 pm #2084439

Take a look at the SNOTEL snowpack graphs for the major basins in Colorado at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/co/snow/products/?cid=nrcs144p2_063323
You'll see that although statewide we're running at 115% of normal snowpack, much of the southern and southwest part of the state is currently running below normal, including San Juan, Animas, Dolores, San Miguel and Rio Grande basins. We're still 4-6 weeks from normal peak snowpack, so it's really too early to tell with certainty.Mar 19, 2014 at 9:26 pm #2084443
I had actually considered the Pecos (it's been on my list for a couple years now), but I forgot to mention I don't want to fly, so it'd be a far drive from OR.
Thank you for the SNOTEL link. I will have to explore the various areas. The San Juans or Rio Grande areas could be good ideas.Mar 20, 2014 at 3:32 pm #2084710
I've been doing some more research and came across the Emigrant Wilderness in CA. From looking at the map, it seems like many of the lakes are around 8000' – 9000'. Does anyone have an idea if these would be mostly snow-free by late May or early June?
I called the ranger's office for the Uintas. She said the Western side is having about average snow levels (meaning things won't clear up until about mid-June), but the Eastern side of the Uintas is below average and could be hike-able as early as Mid-May.Mar 20, 2014 at 6:21 pm #2084754

Sure – June is fantastic at the lower elevations in the sierra. Fish are hungry. So are mosquitoes. Lots of dog friendly places, and I think that might split the distance with your friend – maybe even better. 8000 ft is usually clear in June during a "nomal" year. Short of an act of God this year should be perfect.
Take a look at the Tahoe rim trail. But Emigrant has a ton of lakes and fishing opportunities, and much of it should be perfect (except for the aforementioned mosquitoes) by early June.Mar 26, 2014 at 7:12 pm #2086505
Any guesses on the whether the mosquitos would be worse in mid May or June around the Emigrant Wilderness? May would be colder but June will probably be drier…Mar 26, 2014 at 7:29 pm #2086510

@millonasLocale: Santa Cruz Mountains, CA
June and beginning of July are typically the worst, but I don't think you can predict it too precisly. They hatch when a temperature switch goes off. Some people have predicted that because of the low-snow winter they will be down this year, but I wouldn't count on it. Just bring a head net and use permethrin on the outside of your clothes.
They have never been a reason for me not to go. It is only if you are absolutely unprepared that they rise to a major annoyance. The good news is they will be asleep at night and in the morning when it is cold.Mar 27, 2014 at 12:19 pm #2086711

I haven't yet been there in May, though I was just north in the >Carson-Iceberg Wilderness over Memorial Day weekend 2012. Snow was negligible at 8000'.

Thanks, Boulder Mountain looks pretty great. That is definitely an area I will keep in mind.

Innovative Streets
It's good to look down sometimes. I think this was used to hold a decorative safety pole but I don't remember ever seeing it used. There are poles on the other side of this narrow street however.
The street of course is Paul Street behind Waterstones.
I was going to blog that yesterday was World Book Day but time ran out for me and the power cut didn't help my motivation much. Nevertheless, Cearta.ie blogged it. Check out some of my photos from last year's World Book Day celebration!

did you think the shot would turn out this good when you were looking through the viewfinder?:)
March 10, 2007
Thanks Ziemek,
I had an idea it would come out because the sun was so low and the people walking down the street would be cast in shadow. I've take similar shots before so going by experience I knew the shadows cast on the ground would be good too! 🙂

Have you ever been hurt due to negligence or aggression from another party at a clinic, in the workplace, or on the road? Due to medical negligence, vehicular accidents, and faulty items, thousands of people in the US suffered injuries and deaths. If you are experiencing such concerns, personal injury lawyers in your area can help you manage your health, safety, and legal concerns.
If You Have Been Injured. The first thing you need to do after an accident or injury is to seek appropriate medical care. Doing this guarantees your health and wellness and security, which are constantly important in any condition. Regardless of the kind of accident, you should get the other party's insurance details and then report the accident to their insurance provider. You also have to notify your own insurance company for financial assistance. Speak with a skilled personal injury attorney at the earliest posasibility to protect yourself and to better understand other aspects of being injured or hurt in an accident.
Do You Have a Case? Being injured in an accident does not guarantee that you already have an injury claim. The law needs three crucial aspects for a person to have a legitimate injury claim: fault, injuries, and source of recovery. Actual injuries need to be documented, diagnosed, and treated by legitimate medical team members. For the fault, the injury ought to be caused by another party and not a result of your own actions. The source of recovery frequently pertains to insurance.
Automobile Accident. According to a reputable Utah auto accident lawyer that clients prefer, automobile accidents are the most usual type of personal injury cases. Different kinds of automobile accidents include drunk driving and single, multiple, and commercial car accidents. Each kind involves different challenges in terms of conflicts about injuries and losses. Your insurance policy can help you reconstruct your life and move on. A skilled car accident lawyer can also help you get the best compensation from the other party and from your insurance provider.
Motorcycle Accident. Because motorcycles have significantly lowered physical protection compared with other vehicles, individuals utilizing such a mode of transportation are more susceptible to serious injury and even fatality. Motorcycle accidents normally include multiple broken bones, extreme road rash, and brain or spinal cord injury. A trusted Utah motorcycle accident lawyer can help you get financial compensation, compensation, and other financial assistance for your medical bills and other incurred expenditure after the accident.
Choosing a Law Company. To get competitive services and legal assistance, hire an experienced and expert Utah auto accident lawyer who can effectively manage your case. They can converse with your insurance provider and help you get the needed settlement.

During his time in Oakland, Nnamdi Asomugha was considered a top 5 cover corner. Give him a man to man assignment and he would lock down opposing receivers regularly. However, everything changed once he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. Once a feared and respected cornerback, he never adjusted to the zone concepts covering areas not trailing receivers. He was repeatedly torched by pass catchers and after two year in the Liberty City, he was sent packing. The luster was stripped off and he now needs to prove to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio he can still play. The 49ers play a lot of zone, but do play some man underneath with safeties in a zone. He'll have to prove he can play both and according to Matt Miaocca of CSN Bay Area, there is no free lunch as he will have to earn a roster spot. Miaocca writes: 'A 10-year veteran, Asomugha struggled mightily with the Philadelphia Eagles the past two seasons upon signing a big-money deal. After getting released, the 49ers signed him to a one-year, $1.325 million contract with no guaranteed money. He has to make the team to get paid. "It remains to be seen how well he can cover," Fangio said.

Poems by Margaret Alice Second : 1517 / 1913
Sonorous Light (Rev.) - Poem by Margaret Alice Second
My flying is patterned on your flights with
words creating brilliant designs & songs
flying free, you do things I never thought
one would see, I tag along following your
flight paths shining as sonorous light
Thank you for teaching fledgling me how
to sing melodies in different rhythms and
giving me feed-back, you redraw slipshod
lines to create resonance while languidly
staring into space, changing the text
With a vocabulary wider than my mind
can ever comprehend or emulate…

Tennessee Coach Lane Kiffin has a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease. He infamously bragged that he'd enjoy singing "Rocky Top" all night after his team beat Florida (they didn't) and now he's ticked off legions of University of South Carolina fans by saying that all a Carolina education qualifies us for is a career pumping gas.
The Gamecocks are fired up - and they're on their way to Tennessee this weekend in the hopes of showing the Volunteers how we pump gas by pumping up the numbers on our side of the scoreboard.
In all seriousness, Kiffin reportedly told Alshon Jeffery - USC's star freshman receiver - that he would end up pumping gas if he signed with USC. The remark has riled up the Gamecocks, with Moe Brown (receiver and team captain) quoted on gamecockanthem.com as responding this way:
"Some things are better to go without saying. I'm sure he (Kiffin) didn't mean it to come out, but it did. I'm taking it personally. I'm taking it personally to the point where I'm going to show him how we do pump gas at South Carolina."
By the way, Brown is a marketing and finance major with a 3.2 average.
More Kiffin shenanigans
Shenanigans. I just love that word. And Lane Kiffin clearly loves shenanigans.
In addition to his insulting "pumping gas" comment that has USC loyalists in an uproar, Kiffin was reprimanded this week by the SEC for criticizing the officials who worked the Vol's game against Alabama. Specifically, Kiffin whined that Alabama's Terrence Cody should have received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for removing his helmet in celebration after blocking a field goal with four seconds to go in the Tide's 12-10 victory Saturday.
In all, the SEC reprimanded three SEC coaches for complaining about officiating last week: Kiffin, Mississippi State's Dan Mullen and Vanderbilt's Bobby Johnson.
Kiffin, though, is a repeat offender. It was his second reprimand of the year and he's been warned that the third time won't be a charm - he could be suspended if he violates the rules again.
Ooh, let's hope he gets really worked up this weekend against USC and steps over the line (as you might guess, the "pumping gas" comment didn't sit well with me).
By the way, Kiffin didn't respond to the SEC's reprimand. I don't know why: He certainly seems to have a comment about everything else.
And to help celebrate this important SEC game with me, I'll have a special companion with me in Knoxville - my long-suffering husband, Bruce - whom I've described in Gridiron & Grits as a tolerant football widower. Believe it or not, this is the first time in our long marriage that Bruce will have the privilege of watching the 'Cocks take the field, live and in person. He's a little iffy on the game (actually, he's humoring me by attending), but he did pose a question that made me giggle: "Do people really put on those elaborate tailgates you see on television - with charcoal grills and everything?"
My answer: You're darn right, they do! Tailgating these days doesn't mean chips, dips, beer and a radio - it means serious spreads, from appetizers to desserts, along with big-screen televisions to monitor gridiron rivals before heading into the stadium. Actually, some folks never make it into the stadium at all, preferring to party on throughout the game.
While we will be on the road in Knoxville this weekend, the fans at the University of South Carolina have refined home game tailgating to a high art in the form of a sight that's unique to Williams-Brice Stadium: the Cockaboose. Put simply, a Cockaboose is a former train car that's been modified to become the ultimate in tailgating luxury.
The brainchild of Carl Francis "Doc" Howard and Ed Robinson, the stationery Cockabooses - along with a string of repurposed dining cars added later - have attracted the attention of magazines such as Southern Living and Smithsonian and are a staple on ESPN and other sports shows.
According to The (Columbia, S.C) State, Howard and Robinson acquired the original 22 Cockabooses and the unused tracks at the side of Williams-Brice stadium in 1990 and sold 20 of them for $45,000 each in just two days, keeping the other two.
What did those original buyers get for their money? Basically, the shell of a 45-foot long, 10-foot wide caboose (with exterior paint in garnet and black), equipped with water and sewage, central heat and air, electrical wiring and access to satellite television.
The inside of each Cockaboose is unique: some have bedrooms and showers, others resemble Victorian train cars, and some are reminiscent of the Orient Express. Many of the owners say they've put upwards of $100,000 into their décor, and in 2006, one of the Cockabooses went on the market (a rare occurrence) and sold for $300,000.
So, to answer Bruce's question: Yes, honey, the tailgates you see on TV are real. The beer, the grills, the brats and - in South Carolina - the shrimp and grits are staples. But if you really want to tailgate in style, the Cockaboose is the way to go.

Dispersion of kangaroo rat mounds at multiple scales in New Mexico, USA
- Cite this article as:
- Schooley, R.L. & Wiens, J.A. Landscape Ecology (2001) 16: 267. doi:10.1023/A:1011122218548

Burrowing mammals create disturbances that increase the ecological heterogeneity of landscapes. In desert systems, banner-tailed kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spectabilis) construct large mounds that greatly influence the spatial patterning of soils, plants, and animals. The overall effects of the patches generated by D. spectabilis depend on the dispersion patterns of the mounds; these patterns may be sensitive to scale and landscape position. We examined the distribution of D. spectabilis mounds across multiple scales in four 40-ha grassland plots in New Mexico, USA. We used Ripley's K-function for our point-pattern analysis. The dispersion patterns of mounds were generally scale-sensitive but depended somewhat on plot-level densities, which were related to topographic position and grazing history. Mound spacing was either regular or random at small scales (0–50 m), random or aggregated at intermediate scales (50–300 m), and aggregated at large scales (300–3000 m). This scale-dependency of pattern reflected spatial domains in which different biotic (territoriality, dispersal, grazing) and abiotic (soil texture and drainage) factors exerted strong influences. How other organisms perceive the spatial patterning of mounds will depend on the extent of their movements. Patches may appear regular to one species but aggregated to another. The dispersion of D. spectabilis mounds also has implications for the spatial structuring of desert rodent communities. D. spectabilis excludes smaller species of kangaroo rats from areas around their mounds; they create spatial heterogeneity in behavioral dominance that may influence the distribution of subordinate species at multiple scales.

6th press briefing: Spierer search continues, persons of interest comply
"I want to say to the person who has Lauren or has harmed Lauren: Shame on you! In relationship to that, the person who knows this person who's not coming forward with the information, I beg you to come forward."
She also spoke to her daughter at Sunday morning's press conference saying, "Lauren, I love you with all my heart and soul…I am here for you 100 percent. I will never leave you. I love you with all my heart, and I need you back."
She also told her daughter that she doesn't want her appearance of despair to mean that she's not as strong or as determined as ever.
Sunday is the tenth day that 20-year-old IU student Lauren Spierer has been missing. America's Most Wanted aired Lauren's case Saturday night.
Although it only lasted a few minutes in the hour-long show, the Bloomington Police Department received between 30 to 40 tips from 9 p.m. when the show aired to 3 a.m. Sunday morning. BPD Capt. Joe Qualters said they expect tips to continue to come in for at least 24 hours after the show aired.
"We are very hopeful we'll finally get that phone call to find Lauren," Qualters said.
Qualters also said that every person of interest BPD has interviewed has been compliant, but there are still persons of interest that BPD has not spoken with.
He said police are still in the information gathering stage, and they want to broaden who they talk to. As for the persons of interest that BPD has not spoken with, Qualters said they have indication that those people will come to them.
"We've had our doors open for those individuals to come," Qualters said. "There is nobody we can prevent from leaving this county. We cannot compel people to come back to us. For those that we haven't spoken to, we believe they will come talk to us."
The Texas EquuSearch has also joined the efforts to find Lauren. The group is a national search group with the vision "to return those missing back to their loved ones," according to its website. Qualters said they have a lot of technical equipment they can bring to the search, and they will determine what level they can help.
The U.S. Marshals Service was also in town earlier this week, Qualters said, conducting a sex offender search. The sweep is complete and everyone investigated was compliant and no one was taken into custody.
Lauren's family has set up a website, www.findlauren.com, that they will keep updated. Robert Spierer also announced that the community searches for Lauren will only be at 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. with no 2 p.m. search starting Monday.
Robert Spierer encouraged volunteers to come to the search headquarters at Eighth Street and College Avenue at any time of the day if the search times do not work for them.
Lauren's father also wanted to remind the public that there is a $100,000 reward to find their daughter.
"Anything small could be big. Speak up and help us find Lauren," he said as he does every day.

Third Sighting
The cemetery was across town. It was a quiet place to walk and think. Many people avoided it because of superstition about ghosts and the undead. It also held sadness for many people because they missed their loved ones.
My father was not here. He had been cremated and his ashes had been scattered at sea the way his father's were. They were both naval dreamers. Neither one had served aboard any ship, both had taken vacations on the water and both claimed some sort of heritage on the sea, but neither had left this land-locked part of the country for good. They had said when they retire they would move to the coast, but neither lived that long. Mining was a tough profession.
I had started walking in cemetery after my Father's death to piece together my feelings of grief. There was not a headstone to claim as my resting spot, so I had wandered, reading the names and wondering about the families left behind. I realized that it was a long shot to find any O'Neale's buried here, but I needed the exercise.
My favorite headstones had angels or other statuary on them. The richest family even had a mausoleum under some neglect due to the fact that they had followed their money to the city. Stone benches placed along the path or under the only tree with dedications to loved ones found more bird droppings than bottoms on them. They added a comforting air though. I usually ended up sitting on the grass in the corner in the lee of the only hill. If anyone walked in the cemetery today, I'd be hidden from most angles. With many people moving away, I doubted anyone would share the space with me today.
I casually headed toward my spot, but read all the familiar and yet strange names as I strolled. The image of the man burned in the back of my mind. It was like I took him with me. I wanted him to point out something important, as if his image placed over a scene in the cemetery would unlock a secret message.
The oldest graves were in the back corner opposite my hiding spot. They were so weathered, dates and names were worn off. His could have been any of these. Or it could have never been here. I paused at the fork in the path before the mausoleum. If I went left, I'd stroll past the oldest graves where no one ever ventures and where I'd just be disappointed to not find his name, I was sure. If I went right, I'd end up at my secret spot, sitting and pondering and getting nowhere. At least if I went left, I could say for sure that my efforts had turned up nothing. I took the left path.
1879, too young; 1840-something, too old; died in 1913, possible, but no name. I walked until I was sure that the graves were too young and then backtracked. There were 3 or 4 that were illegible, and 3 that I knew weren't him, including one baby. None of them had names, and nothing triggered the image in my head to point out any amazing discoveries. I sighed. At least I tried. I knew the likelihood he was from my town was a long shot. If only I knew where Vivian had gotten that book. If it had come from some estate sale when the rich people left for the city, it was still possible he had lived here and been buried somewhere else.
I didn't feel like staying here anymore. I needed to find out what Vivian knew about the journal. In twenty minutes, I was at her shop door. A sign on it said 'closed'. That was odd. She never closed, and she hadn't mentioned that yesterday was her last day. I hoped she wasn't sick. Perhaps she went to the bank to ask for another extension.
Unsure where to go from here, I sat on the store's stoop.
Loud laughter made me glance down the street. A small group of teenagers were prowling the streets, teasing each other the way only high school friends can. From my days before the school closing I knew them as my ex-best friend Amelia, the class clown Todd, my crush to end all crushes Bryan, and a couple extra girls they were obviously trying to impress with our small town's quaintness. My being homeschooled immediately categorized me as an outcast. Sitting in front of a closed and dusty old book store did not help that image, but it was too late to do anything about it. Besides, Bryan still made my knees weak and my tongue tied.
"Who's she?" A girl snapped her gum and gestured at me. I wanted Bryan to stand up for me, proudly proclaiming "That's Callie. She's homeschooled, but really smart. It's cool." Instead my ex-best friend Amelia answered.
"She's just a homeschooled freak! Come on Bryan, let's show our guests the old well." The group giggled in a chorus and frolicked off in that boisterous way a herd of teenagers does.
A freak. Amelia was the one with the multi-colored hair and torn jeans. Compared to her, I was plain. I was more hurt that my fantasy-Bryan hadn't lived up to my false expectations. He hadn't even looked back. I did realize that Amelia remembered my crush if not my name because she deliberately told Bryan to come on, not the group. Perhaps she felt threatened. Maybe she knew something I didn't, that he liked me back. I felt slightly empowered.
What shall I do with my new power? I could follow them around, happen to show up all over town to make it seem they are following me. The old well was behind the site where the one-room schoolhouse had been. It was near Mill Creek that only ran deep when Mill Dam Lake overflowed in a good rain. On the way back, they would have to pass by the general store. I could be there, having an ice cream. If they stopped, I could leave, then head to the library and read a book on the stairs where they would pass again on their way out of town. Or perhaps buy a stamp at the post office to cross their path again. This could be fun.
A blast of too hot air warmed my face as I entered the general store. They still had a glass counter with ice cream behind it and barstools bolted to the floor. Mr. Samuels' family had run the shop for 4 generations. They made the news a while back and the framed article hung behind the bar.
"What'll it be?"
I chose a flavor that was unique but also had no dark coloring that would make embarrassing stains on my clothes. "Pecan Pie."
"One scoop or two?'
"One is plenty, Mr. Samuels."
"Watching your girly figure, eh Calla Lily?" It was a nickname he'd given me as a small child. Mr. Samuels had to be about 80 years old. You can't tell an old wrinkly face like that that you are too old to be called Calla Lily anymore. I smiled sweetly and took the offered spoon. I ate the ice cream slowly, wondering when I might see the crew. This was a great place to take a date, if you didn't mind the prying eyes of the wizened old storekeeper.
They didn't come in, but to my surprise, Vivian did.
"And how may I help the lovely Vivian today?" So, Mr. Samuels was a charmer!
"I'm afraid I'm cancelling my order." Vivian's eyes were downcast.
"Times are tough, sunshine." Suddenly I didn't feel so bad about him calling me Calla Lily.
"You wouldn't happen to have anything ready to turn, would you?"
Was I hearing her right? Mr. Samuels went to check and she finally spotted me. "Callie!" She turned bright red as if she were caught with her hand in the cookie jar. I had my spoon in my mouth, so I simply used that to keep my mouth shut. I think she appreciated it.
"Here's some bread, only 5 days old. And take these beans for a nice soup. Neighbor's gotta help neighbor in these times!" Mr. Samuels winked at me.
"You are too kind!" Vivian took the scraps and bowed out, completely humiliated. Mr. Samuels gave me a very knowing stare. I slid off my stool and followed her.
Jogging to catch up, scarf pulled over her head, I called, "Vivian!" She did not turn. I was right beside her now. "Let me carry that for you."
"No, I'm fine!" Her voice cracked a little.
"I insist." She obstinately kept trudging so I tried a different approach. "Mr. Samuels is a nice man." She stopped in her tracks. Tears had begun to well up in the corners of her eyes.
"Yes, he is." She let out a huge sigh. I took the food from her. We walked in peace slowly down the street. I didn't care who could see me now or what they would think.
Vivian lived in a clapboard house in the middle of a butterfly garden. I mean, she did not own a lawn mower and hadn't had any repairs in the past 20 years. The land owners were rich folk who went under and foreclosed. This was not the mansion of a place out front with boarded up windows. This was the gardener's cottage out back. I think she was a squatter.
"They called this a 'mother-in-law's house'." Vivian explained. "But rich folk who put their aging mothers in nursing homes used it as a party house, or rental cottage, or perhaps a live-in tutor's quarters."
It smelled mildew-y and I'm sure I could see daylight through the ceiling near the chimney. "Or maybe the pool boy or mistress," I supplied. Vivian snorted. The kitchenette was tiny, with a minifridge, but without electricity, it served only as a storage place to keep mice out of the bread.
"Thank you for carrying the bread. Would you like some tea? I make it over the fire in the fireplace just like the pioneers!" She made squatting sound like one of my Mother's adventures. In fact, I bet my Mother would call her squatting 'quaint'.
"No, I'm sure I should be getting home, but I do have a question to ask you."
"Well, I owe you an answer!"
"Have you ever had a strong connection with a book?"
"Oh heaven's yes! There have been many books I have fallen into and couldn't put down!"
"No, let me rephrase. Have you ever had a book call out to you? Like it wanted you to read it? Not because it had a pretty cover, or was by an author you already knew, but because it just.. was meant to be?"
Vivian sat down on a chair at the table, her expression faded from joy at the prospect of answering an easy question, to consternation at having to solve one of life's puzzles. "What do you mean?"
"Have you ever heard of Psychometry?"
Her brows knitted, "Enlighten me."
"This book, a journal really, I found in your store the other day. When I touched it, it was like I knew the writer. Not just his words, but his experiences, even what he looked like. Even before I read the date on the pages, I saw him in his pioneer clothes."
"Saw, how?"
"Like a ghost, he materialized, like a projection, a waking dream, but also like a memory. His memory."
"We all see things when we read books.."
"No, not like the image appears in your head. I know you aren't going to believe me, but he appears in front of me, like a ghost. That's why I did some searching and found out about psychometry. It's the ability to see an object's memories."
Vivian was silent. I let her drink this all in. I sat quietly, fingering the hem of my sleeve. I don't' know why I was telling her this. I was only going to ask her where she picked it up. She must have thought me very strange. I avoided eye contact and waited to see if she would throw me out or if her creative soul would ponder this and make something great out of it. I needed someone to believe me, an ally, more than I realized.
"My grandmother used to say that all things leave an impression upon the world."
I raised my eyes to read her face. She was still contemplating and digesting the information.
"I know that when I pick up certain mementos I remember things about them and my past. Is this what you mean?"
"Yes, but they are not MY memories."
"Are you sure you cannot be inferring details?"
"Positive. This young man is not like anyone I know. And I've only read three pages of his poetry."
"Ah, it's a young man that has your heart troubled." She sat back in her chair relieved.
"But he's dead. Long dead."
"Many of my favorite authors are too, but their words can still touch me and leave an impression. It's their legacy."
"But they don't join you in your little house for tea. I'm afraid I'm not being clear. I'm SEEING his memories. Maybe we do have a connection, maybe we do relate to one another, but he's a ghost and I am very much alive."
"So what exactly is the dilemma? You are young, experiencing things for the first time. I say live out your fantasies!"
"This is not a fantasy! It's very much real. Each time I touch a new page, I see a new memory. And I can't go back. I can't make him reappear the same way I saw him on the first page, or the third. The memory is gone, transferred to me. I can't relive the same moment, despite how much I want to. So no, I can't live out my fantasies."
She took a deep breath as if to say something, but held her tongue and thought some more.
"Who is this young man?"
"Someone with the last name O'Neale." I spelled it for her. "I was hoping you'd know. Or could tell me where you got the journal."
"Do you have it with you?"
I carefully pulled it out of my tote. Of course I had it, I would not let it out of my sight! She took it as if it were made of delicately spun sugar instead of yellowed paper. She examined the pages, the cover, the spine. She read a few lines at the beginning. "You only touched the first 3 pages?"
"What if I touched the fourth? Would the memory be lost to you?"
"I don't know."
"Would you like to try?"
Vivian read the next poem to herself, and my anxiety and desire grew. I was jealous of her eyes being able to read those words before I could, but I was also worried that she was stealing the memory first.
Gingerly I took the book, opened to the fourth page, and set it on the table before me. My eyes scanned slowly to the words.
There is only one way
to catch the wind:
stand still and stay there,
wait for her to come
for she surely will,
though she is a temperamental lover
all bluster and fluster one minute
turn to whisper-soft breeze the next.
She is worth the wait
she is worth the storm
she is worth the pain
because when she hurts you,
it is never intentional,
she just doesn't know
her own strength.
He was laying on a grassy hill beneath a tree, a piece of long grass in his mouth, hands behind his head. Softly, the tall grasses waved in the wind. He turned his head to look at me and he smiled. His eyes danced, even in the black and white of this memory. I focused on his dark eyes. For a split second they were brown and forgiving instead of charcoal. My head began to spin, reeling from the effort it took to see this memory in color. I felt my hand resting on the pages, heard a voice call to me, "What do you see?" and then he faded. Vivian's face had gone pale.
I told her what I saw.
"Any landmarks, something that would let us know where in the world he was?"
"Just grass and a tree."
"I wonder why you cannot see the girl he loves?"
"I dunno."
"If I were writing a love poem, I would be thinking about the one I love. Wouldn't my memories soak into the words?"
"I don't think I'm seeing his memories, I think I'm seeing where he was when he finished writing the words."
Vivian sat back and became lost in thought, chewing her lip. "That journal must have come into the shop a long time ago. I'll have to go back over my records, if I have any on it. Sometimes I brought things in from yard sales and never documented them. Only when people sold things to me, did I keep a receipt."
"I always wondered how you came upon so many books!"
"They just came to me!" Vivian giggled at her joke. I decided that was my cue to leave.
"I should be getting back home. Take care, Vivian." I adopted a formal air when I visited elder people. It amused me. I pondered this as I made a beeline toward my home.
