Jeanne FishmanNew York, New York, US
Imagine Gretel when she tells Hans they have to put the witch in the oven. Or Dennis Farina as a Powerpuff Girl. Jeanne Fishman's voice print combines sweetness with firmness, a sharp but child-like timbre. Her audio books, and animation series show her ability to deliver a wide variety of characters, from wisecracking kid, talking toy to haunting child ghost. As a narrator, she infuses her performances with a young child's wonder and an adult confidence. Her commercial work is friendly, enthusiastic. And, on account of Jeanne's clear, high, vocal quality, she is utterly free of sing-song, and is indelible. Jeanne's voice, says George James, who produced titles with her at Audible, \"lent charm and personality to our books. As soon as I heard her, I knew it would be as I hoped\".

Let go of 'I go-centric' driving habits
Wednesday, Feb 05, 2014 06:00 am
As a society, we Canadians are known for our politeness, kindness and acceptance of others. It is not uncommon for us to let someone go ahead of us in any form of lineup, be it at the grocery store, at the movies or at an all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Steeped in the tradition of standing patiently in line for a double double at Tim�s, the training ground for the aforementioned qualities, it would appear to the reasonably informed bystander that patience is truly a Canadian virtue. It is a virtue however that goes completely down the drain, like that pot of expired coffee, as soon as we sit behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or try to exit an aircraft.
When I was a young lad driving the highways and byways of the Maritimes, where admittedly life�s pace was a little slower, I very quickly learned that age-old etiquette of �you go � I go.� It is an unwritten rule of the road whereby if I see that a line of vehicles ahead needs to merge into my lane, I will let one in and then I will proceed. �You go � I go� becomes an established pattern that expedites flow and alleviates the situation. Sadly however, particularly in this part of the world, there are those narcissistic drivers who still believe that the sun revolves around them and the rules do not apply.
Far too often I see these inconsiderate egocentrics taking advantage of the poor kind soul who wishes to allow one vehicle ahead to merge into his or her lane. Often there are two or three vehicles that attempt to veer in expecting to get where they need to go. �You go � I go� goes out the window accompanied by honking horns, colourful metaphors and multilingual hand gestures.
Our Alberta default seems to be �I go � screw you.� When etiquette is eliminated from the driving equation, no one is safe. Admittedly, as good natured as I am, I must confess that when the wheels fall off of the �you go � I go� system, and the gridlock grinds to a halt, I contemplate the merits of a good old fashioned demolition derby. Then I remember that courtesy is best paid forward and seek to continue my mission to teach �you go � I go� to the world.
�You go � I go� also works well when deplaning. Most people know that the aircraft empties from the front and that the rows are numbered for that reason. Yes, there are those folks who will sit and wait for others to get off the plane first, yet, there are those �I go-centric� types who, from several rows behind, bowl you out of the way before you have even had a chance to open your overhead bin!
They do not realize that with a little order and patience and heaven forbid � discipline, that �you go � I go� means �we all get to go� and most likely a little sooner than through the self-serving method of organized chaos.
Our society is simply to too egocentric. I take delight when I see someone extending kindness and courtesy to others. I strive to model this in my daily encounters and want to hold myself accountable to try to make a positive difference even if just to one other person today. Who knows, perhaps that person you let ahead of you today is the person who pays it forward by buying your coffee at the drive-thru. With �you go � I go� we all travel a little further down the road of kindness.

Target: New York's 53rd Assembly District Representative, Assemblyman Vito Lopez
Goal: Urge New York Assemblyman, Vito Lopez, to resign after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct from female staffers and improper use of taxpayer money.
After investigation, the Assembly Ethics Committee found that Assemblyman Vito Lopez had groped and used sexually suggestive language with female staffers. A separate set of sexual harassment charges were settled in secret using personal, state, and possibly campaign funds to quell conflict before the re-election in November. Please sign this petition and join many legislators in urging Assemblyman Vito Lopez to resign from office after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
The New York Times spoke with former staffers of Lopez's who described the working environment under the former chairman of the Brooklyn Democratic Party as intimidating and threatening. Reportedly, 71 year old Lopez only hires attractive women to veer between his crude jokes and fierce tirades in the workplace culture where he has made these behaviors permissible. One former staff member said, "He would comment on a shirt I was wearing and say "I'd like it better if you didn't have a bra on." Encouraging staff to go unsupported was apparently brought up quite a bit, along with requests for short skirts and high heels. Lopez is also accused of routinely complimenting his female staff on their figures, inquiring and giving advice regarding their personal lives, with special attention given to "well endowed" employees.
These allegations come after news that a separate sexual misconduct case was settled in secret using $130,000 in taxpayer money. Although the Assembly Ethics Committee scolded Lopez and stripped him of his leadership roles in the Assembly, he has not been removed from office. Many other legislators are calling for Lopez to resign in the wake of these new and old sexual harassment allegations that have not yet become criminal charges.
Please sign this petition to urge Assemblyman Vito Lopez to resign in the face of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace, and for using taxpayer money to secretly settle previous allegations of sexual misconduct. Lopez is an elected official and the voters have a right to call for his resignation. It is unacceptable for Lopez to have the privilege of continuing to serve New York, all the while harassing the government employees that run his office.
Dear Assemblyman Vito,
I am writing to urge you to resign from your position as representative of New York's 53rd Assembly District, in the face of past and current allegations of sexual misconduct by female staffers. Your use of tax payer money to secretly pay off two staffers with complaints of improper workplace behavior is evidence enough that you do not posses the judgment necessary to serve as a legislator. Your continued presence in the Assembly is distracting and unethical. Please take a moment to reflect on your actions and think about the damage you have caused to your reputation and influence in public service. I am urging you to step down as a representative in favor of an ethical official people can safely work under, and citizens can trust.
The $103,000 settlement you secretly divided between two staffers alleging sexual misconduct is reason for dismissal alone. Not only did you use taxpayer money to silence the women, but you involved Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver in your dirty work, who is now also under fire for his involvement and actions surrounding your misconduct. As an elected official you are held to the highest standards of ethical practices, standards you have proven are too high for you to subscribe. You are no longer fit to serve as a legislator and are no longer the man who was elected by constituents of New York's 53rd Assembly.
Please acknowledge your wrongdoings, and prevent another staffer from having to work around your inappropriate behavior by resigning from the Assembly.
[Your Name Here]

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and thanks for your question.
I'm sorry; that is likely pretty painful. She will have red eyes because of the chemical trauma to the conjunctiva (clear tissue overlying the whites of the eyes) and cornea. She should also use some artificial tears (preservative-free) several times/day, use cool compresses, and maybe even some lubricating eye ointment at night to help her eyes feel better. But if her vision is significantly worsened, or she has significant eye pain or sensitivity to light, then she should be seen by her eye doctor to assess for any significant damage or inflammation in the eyes.
Does that help address your concerns?
I am happy to be able to help you today. If you would be so kind, please help me get credit for my efforts in answering your questions and press the ACCEPT button for this encounter. I would also be happy to continue to answer any more questions you have until we have resolved your concern.
Also, any positive feedback and/or bonus you may feel prompted to provide would be welcomed and is appreciated.

Call for available kittens at 404-904-0706
We are a proud recipient of the prestigious
TICA Outstanding Cattery Award
Baileys Ragdolls is licensed through Gwinnett County Business and also has a Pet Dealer License through the GA Department of Agriculture. Should you have any questions or need to see either license, please feel free to contact us.
There are several myths surrounding the Ragdoll breed. But, it's generally accepted that a woman from California named Ann Baker, in the early 1960s, created the Ragdoll by breeding a white female Persian to a male Birman. She then introduced a female Burmese into the breeding program and this combination resulted in the Ragdoll breed.
Ragdolls are sometimes referred to as the "Gentle Giants" of the cat world. They are very laid-back, docile, and non-aggressive cats. Ragdolls tend to relax and go limp when held. They have a non-fighting instinct meaning if they're attacked, they don't defend themselves the way most other cats would. For this reason, they should be kept strictly indoors. They love to be around people and have been described as acting similar to a puppy. They may greet guests, follow their owners around, and some can even be taught to fetch! Ragdolls are slow-maturing and may not reach full maturity until about three or four years of age.
Physical Characteristics...
Ragdolls are the largest fully domestic breed of cat (Guinness Book of World Records). They are large, heavy cats with broad chests and large hindquarters. Females are smaller than males, weighing about 10-15 pounds on average. Males weigh an average of 12-20 pounds as adults, although some may grow to be larger. Full weight and size is not expected for at least four years.
Ragdolls have large, oval, blue eyes and sweet expressions. Their large, rounded ears are set with a slight forward tilt. They have a curved profile with the look of a "ski slope" as it merges to the top of the head.
Ragdolls have soft medium-long coats and bushy tails that feel like rabbit fur and do not tend to mat, although occasional grooming may be required. In general, Ragdolls have longer fur around the neck and on the back of the hindquarters.
Colors & Patterns...
If you'd like to learn more about the colors and patterns of Ragdolls, you can visit: RFW.
Also, Ragdoll International has photos of the various colors and patterns, to visit: Ragdoll International.
Should you get a Ragdoll?
Ragdoll cats can be excellent pets, especially if you want a loving, friendly companion that will be affectionate to everyone in your home, including visitors. They are large cats and require little grooming, shed very little, and can be trained quiet easily. They also adapt very well to small apartment life. On the other hand, if you need to leave your cat alone for long periods of time, a Ragdoll may not be the right breed for you. They like attention but aren't as vocal as other breeds. Ragdolls are a strictly indoor cat and should not go outside at all. All in all, Ragdolls are very dependent cats that need a good deal of love and attention.
We know that you are expecting to get a healthy kitten when you purchase from us, so all of our kittens are always vet checked before they go to their new homes. We also make sure that all of our kittens are up-to-date with their first set of shots. We love our Ragdolls and know that you will too.
If you want to see what type of environment our kittens are raised in, let us know and we can set up a time that you can stop by our home. We look forward to meeting you and showing off our Ragdolls. Instead of choosing your kitten from a picture, you can interact with ours to see which one has the personality that you are looking for. You will see that our kittens have been raised in a clean and healthy environment. We want you to know that you are getting a kitten that you can call your own when you choose one of our special beauties.
If you want to save money, we are ready to give you a $50.00 discount if you tell us exactly how you found our website. We want to give you the best price possible if you are looking for a Ragdoll that you can cherish for many years. These precious kittens are ready to offer you companionship and love. They are the type of kittens that will fit happily into any lifestyle. They are not hard to care for, but do need plenty of affection and attention. If you are looking for a new kitten to spoil, we have gorgeous kittens that you will fall in love with.

Castle Combe Cycling Festival and Severn Bridge Sportive, which will be running at Castle Combe Circuit on Sunday June 2, is seeking a charity partner for this year's event.
This will be the second year of the Cycling Festival at Castle Combe Circuit and, with visitors reaching around 2,000 people in 2012, this one-day event offers fabulous opportunities for a local charity to raise awareness and hopefully much needed funds in these tough economic times.
Marketing and events manager Jo Sparrow said: "Castle Combe Circuit has a long history of working with local charities with the majority of its events having some sort of charitable link. 2013 sees the second year of the Castle Combe Cycling Festival and it would be fabulous for us to have a dedicated charitable partner for this event.
"The main requirements from an event point of view is to have an enthusiastic partner who wants to drive awareness of their charity to the family audience. Visitors in 2012 ranged from 12 months to 70 years thereby offering a complete cross-section of ages.
"The theme that pins them all together though is a love of cycling, a love of fun and a love of having-a-go! A charity that works to this same sort of ethos would be fabulous.
"We have no restrictions on whether this should be a local, regional or national charity. The main requirement is that it has a local branch so that we can work closely with the charity organisers to ensure that we can maximise their potential at the event."
Castle Combe Cycling Festival is offering a range of fundraising opportunities to potential charitable partners from sponsored rides of the circuit – the 'Circuit Challenge' – to collecting buckets, online donations and more. The charity will also be provided with complimentary presence on the Castle Combe Cycling Festival website (with links through to their own website) plus a complimentary trade stand on the day itself.
If your charity is interested in becoming involved with Castle Combe Cycling Festival 2013 then please contact Castle Combe Cycling Festival on (01249) 782417 or e-mail: email@example.com for an application form.
Forms must be completed and returned by February 8.

Waterkloof Air Force Base in Pretoria is set to host Gauteng's biggest air show of 2011 on 1 October. Organisers say the event will show off not only the South African Air Force's (SAAF) capabilities, but will also be a dry-run for the prestigious African Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition when it returns to its home ground in 2012.
AAD, which is held every two years, is the largest exhibition of air, land and sea capabilities on the African continent and showcases the most advanced technologies currently available. It was last held at Waterkloof in 2004 and for the past years has been held at Ysterplaat Air Force Base in the Cape, while Waterkloof was undergoing extensive upgrades. Officer Commanding AFB Waterkloof, Brigadier General Sam Madumane, said the base's two runways had been upgraded and most of the hangars on the eastern side had been revamped.
General Madumane said the theme of the air show, "flying to serve and serving to fly", reflected the work and capabilities of the SAAF. The airbase is home to a number of crucial squadrons as it handles presidential and very-very-important-person traffic in addition to being a hub for military and humanitarian operations. Several air servicing units are also based there, to ensure that the aircraft are able to fly when needed.
He pointed out that the weekly flights to Kinshasa and Somalia where SA had troops serving on peacekeeping missions, left from Waterkloof, as did the humanitarian flights bringing much-needed emergency aid to Somali famine victims. In the past days, a team of Navy, Air Force and Medical personnel left Waterkloof to assist Tanzania with search and recovery operations following the sinking of a ferry at the weekend, in which at least 240 people drowned.
As a practical demonstration of the SANDF's capabilities, the public will also be treated to a "mini war" which will include spectacular pyrotechnics as the soldiers show off their air and ground attack skills. Spectators can expect to see the Gripen and Hawk fighters in action as well as the Rooivalk attack helicopter.
The US has indicated it will participateCivilian aerobatic experts are scheduled to fly the ever-popular Harvard aircraft and the Air Force Museum will contribute veteran crowd-pleasers like the Vampire fighter jet. Although several foreign countries were invited to attend, to date only the US has indicated it will participate.
It is expected to provide a C-130J Hercules transport aircraft and a C-17 heavy lift jet. Also expected is an Ukrainian Ilyushin IL-76 heavy transport aircraft and a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker used for aerial refueling of military aircraft will be on display. The Youth Development Programme will also be in evidence to promote awareness of the careers opportunities of the SAAF and the defence industry.
In keeping with the organisers' assurances of a wide appeal and family fun and entertainment, the expo will also include retail facilities and a lifestyle expo and catering facilities and beer gardens.

PHILADELPHIA - The eighth-ranked women's fencing team head to the road for their second straight week of fencing when they travel to the Penn State Invitational Saturday.
The Red and Blue will see some familiar foes, as well as two-time defending national champion and No. 2 Penn State. Drew, Duke and North Carolina all fenced at the Philadelphia Invitational while the Quakers will also take on ninth-ranked Temple.
Last weekend Penn went 4-1, with the team's only loss coming at the hands of seventh-ranked Northwestern. The Quakers did beat Duke 15-12 and took care of North Carolina, 21-6. Senior Danielle Kamis had the most impressive performance, going 14-1 overall, highlighted by a victory over 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Becca Ward.
The Red and Blue epeeists also fenced well, winning at least five bouts against each opponent and going 36-9 overall. Sophomore Amrit went 8-0 while seniors Diana Ark and Jenna Stahl combined to go 10-0 overall. Additionally, freshmen Corey Novich and Gabby Foor each recorded five victories.
The Nittany Lions figure to be Penn's toughest competition on the day. Penn State is led by defending epee national champion, sophomore Guzzi Vincenti. Two-time NCAA foil champion Doris Willette will also be a challenge for the Quakers.

|Cancer Genetic Counseling
Our understanding of the relationship between cancer and genetics has grown rapidly. Research is answering many questions about why some families have more cancer than others.
We know that certain cancers, including breast, colon, uterine, ovarian, melanoma and pancreatic cancer, are more likely to occur in some families. However, a family history of cancer does not mean that you will develop cancer.
By understanding your risk for cancer, you can take steps to improve your health and reduce your risk. Knowledge of an increased risk for cancer can also help increase your chances for early detection and successful treatment.
What is cancer genetic counseling?
Genetic counselors are master's-level health care professionals specially trained in medical genetics and counseling to help individuals and their families understand and manage their risk for inherited cancer.
Can cancer be inherited?
Could you be at risk for hereditary cancer?
If you have signs of hereditary cancer in your family, consult with a cancer genetic counselor.

The Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) says all unions must agree to a proposed plan to reform the labour market, before a deal can finally be made.
Speaking on HSTV's English-language current affairs show Newsmakers, EK representative Markus Äimälähttp://www.hs.fi/haku/?search-term=markus+aimala says that with several high profile trades unions not on board with the new proposals, it would be "impossible" to continue talks and hopefully have a fully realised agreement in place in June.
"SAK's board made a decision this week, and part of the trade union member organisations said 'no' to this agreement, and what EK Is saying, is that first we have to have all the trade unions [...] we want 100% on board"
SAK, the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions, said this week it would present the so-called 'Competitiveness Pact' again to its members for a fresh round of collective bargaining. In return, they want the Finnish government to cancel €1.5 billion in budget cuts and tax increases.
"Finland needs employment and public investment that encourages investment in the private sector as well" writes SAK President Lauri Lyly http://www.hs.fi/haku/?search-term=lauri+lylyin a statement. "The business community and the government are responsible for making this happen" he adds.
EK's Markus Äimälä explains that the three headline provisions in the deal are longer working hours - "the yearly working time is extended by 24 hours, so roughly three working days"; a freeze in wages for a year - "we hope to increase our competitiveness compared to other countries"; and a change in social security contributions - "employees pay a little bit higher contributions [...] and then employers, the companies, pay a litttle bit more" he explains.
"The big question is, is it [the deal] good enough?" asks Äimälä.
His organisation, and the Finnish government, had initially called for tougher measures to be put in place to reform Finnish labour practices and help increase the country's competitiveness compared with it's main regional rivals.
But there was a public outcry - and a union backlash in the form of industrial action - when such plans as not paying people the first day they get sick, or reducing holiday entitlement, were first mooted. EK would also have liked to lengthen the working year by more than the 24 hours which is now being agreed on.
While Äimälä concedes that the current watered-down deal would not cancel out an estimated 10-15% competitiveness gap between Finland and Sweden or Germany, he says it would "narrow that gap by about 4%".
"This is maybe not a giant leap forward, but it's a step to the right direction, and we have to continue during the coming years to make additional measures to further enhance our competitiveness" says Äimälä.
Unit labour costs - which the OECD describes as being how much output an economy receives relative to wages - should in theory decrease if the new proposals are enacted. "And that helps Finnish companies" says Äimälä.
Looking forward, there is now a period of discussion during the spring when EK can talk to their member companies, who in turn employ a million people in Finland. At the same time, the trade union umbrella organisation SAK will talk to its member unions to smooth out any last hurdles in the agreement. SAK will also hope to get some of the larger unions who are so far opposed to the plan, to sign up. These include union PAM which says the proposals in their current form would impose a 'heavy burden' on workers. PAM represents 230,000 shop assistants, cleaners, security guards, hairdressers, and hospitality and catering staff, among others working in the private sector service industries.
Transport workers union AKT, which represents 50,000 people, is also not yet on board with the proposals, and Markus Äimälä from the Confederation of Finnish Industries warns that it is crucial to get this union in particular on-side.
"We try to bring stability, we try to bring industrial peace to Finland" explains Äimälä. "Traditionally, if workers from the transport sector are not on board with the agreement, then there might be industrial action, strikes in the transport sector, which means in the worst case scenario, whole of Finland paralyses."

The Flathead Valley has never experienced a major mining boom. In the early years, the area was most closely connected to the rush to the diggings at Wild Horse Creek in British Columbia in 1864 (see Figure 7). The development of mining districts in the Flathead was hampered by transportation and marketing challenges. The only mining district to ship significant quantities of ore was Hog Heaven, which operated in the late 1920s through 1946.
During the 1930s there was a resurgence of interest in mining among unemployed people looking for ways to supplement their incomes. Local men and women prospected in the mountains of the Flathead National Forest, but as in earlier decades they generally had little success. Only one mining claim on the Flathead National Forest has been patented (the Baptiste claim with copper values near Baptiste Mountain). Other claims have been staked, but the land is still within the national forest system.
Evidence of mining activity on the Forest is not as rich as it is in other parts of Montana, generally because the Flathead did not experience an extensive mining boom. Prospectors' pits and cabins can still be found, however, and remains of mine development in the Hog Heaven and Star Meadow mining districts exist today. Most of the evidence of the coal mining in the North Fork is now gone.
Oil Fields
The founding of Columbia Falls in 1891 and the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in the Flathead Valley that same year led to increased interest in the natural resources, particularly mineral, up the North Fork of the Flathead. In 1892 prospectors filed the first oil claims in Montana, which were located in the Kintla Lake area of the North Fork within what is now Glacier National Park. Although Native Americans and fur trappers had reportedly known of oil seeps in the area for some time, these prospectors were alerted by bear hides sold at Tobacco Plains that smelled of kerosene. In 1892 a local newspaper reported that the North Fork valley had been taken up by settlers hoping to find oil beneath their homesteads and waiting to hear of a railroad coming up the valley. Neither happened. A shortage of capital combined with the financial panic of 1893 and the subsequent depression led to the temporary abandonment of the oil district in the 1890s ("Flathead Coal" 1892:1; DeSanto 1985:26-28; Willis 1901:782; Bick 1986:5).
In 1900 interest in the Kintla oil fields revived. A group of Butte businessmen organized the Butte Oil Company and the next year filed a claim on land near Kintla Lake. This area was practically inaccessible at the time; it was reached from Tobacco Plains via a trail over the Whitefish Divide, along the "coal trail" on the west side of the North Fork, or along the "Canadian trail" on the east side of the river from Belton (now West Glacier). The Butte Oil Company therefore hired men to build a road north from Belton to the Kintla area. Workers completed a rough 8'-wide wagon road in 1901, and drilling machinery from Pennsylvania was hauled up to Kintla Lake along the road. Drilling began in 1901, other oil companies formed, and the Kintla oil boom was on (see Figure 8) (DeSanto 1985:28, 30, 31; J. B. Collins to John O. Bender, 10 August 1901, entry 13, box 5, RG 95, NA). Out-of-state boomers and oil promoters were putting "their ears to the ground listening for the sloshing of oil," and speculators (including local people) filed oil claims in the area (Kalispell Bee, 2 July 1901). In 1901 a magazine writer summed up the excitement over the Kintla oil fields as follows:
The first oil well on the shore of Kintla Lake reached a final depth of 1400', but in the winter of 1902-03 almost the whole plant burned. The wells never reached a profitable pocket of oil. In 1912 all claims of the Butte Oil Company were declared void. Another company built a derrick near the North Fork River several miles below Kintla Creek, but it stopped drilling in 1903 due to a lack of capital (DeSanto 1985, 34-36).
Canadians also got involved in oil exploration and drilling in the area. In late 1901 a Canadian company began drilling a few miles from the townsite of Waterton. In 1913 there was another boom of coal and oil exploration in the area as more geological surveys were conducted. A wagon road was built from Corbin over Flathead Pass south to the boundary, and a survey for a railroad line paralleled the road. By 1930 three oil and gas companies were once again active on the Canadian side of the North Fork, and at least three oil derricks were built. Exploration was spasmodic and was abandoned in the late 1930s, however, because the drilling did not define sizeable pockets of oil (Ringstad 1976:5).
Oil was discovered in the Swiftcurrent area on the east side of the Rockies in 1903, and a short-lived boom occurred there. After a few years production declined, however, as the wells were lost to penetrating water. As of 1911, there were over 200 mining claims in newly created Glacier National Park. Most of the valid claims were in the Kintla Lake area on the west side and the Swiftcurrent and Lake Sherburne areas on the east side (Douma 1953:20-21; Buchholtz 1969: 13).
One Flathead Valley resident did do well on oil claims, but the claims were not in the Flathead. Charlie Emmons homesteaded in the Truman Creek area and later worked as a forest ranger for the Blackfeet National Forest. Emmons was a self-made practical geologist. With several other Kalispell residents he raised the money to bring experts from California to examine the Kevin-Sunburst oil and gas field, and then he gathered leases in the area. His company ended up realizing great profits (Kalispell Times, 4 December 1941).
In the late 1940s and early 1950s oil and gas companies pressured the Forest Service for leases in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. No leases were granted because they were seen as incompatible with wilderness preservation. Exploratory oil and gas work has been done on other drainages and on private land in various Flathead drainages (Shaw 1967:74, 121).
Coal Deposits
Another early boom in the North Fork of the Flathead revolved around the coal fields located near Coal Creek. Raphael Pumpelly on his 1883 trip through the northern Rockies identified the coal beds on west side of the North Fork, and local prospectors promoted and developed the beds. The Great Northern Railway (GNRR) needed coal for fuel but found the lignite coal in the North Fork unfit for railroad use. The Anaconda Copper Mining Company (ACM) also investigated, hoping the coal could be converted to coke and used in its smelting operations, but found the coal too low-grade for such use (Sheire 1970:195).
In 1887 seven men located coal claims on the Coal Banks at the urging of Marcus Daly of the ACM. They sold their holdings three years later to James Talbott and others of Columbia Falls' Northern Improvement Company for $50,000. Talbott had a steamboat built to bring out the coal via the North Fork of the Flathead. In early 1892 the Oakes set out on its maiden (and only) voyage; it wrecked in rapids near the mouth of Canyon Creek, short of its destination. The next year Talbott brought out some coal on a raft, but after the second raft also wrecked he gave up on this method (Inter Lake, 5 December 1890; Johns 1943 III:38; Rognlien ca. 1940:1-7).
By 1892 the 102' Emerson tunnel had been drive into the bank, exposing about 30' of coal, and by 1906 several 20-50' tunnels had penetrated a number of outcrops. Eventually the First National Bank of Butte purchased the coal mine. After the county built the road to Coal Creek in the 1910s, Claude Elder leased the holdings. He operated the coal mine until 1942, selling coal as a heating fuel to hotels, hospitals, individuals, and so on in the Flathead Valley. At the start of World War II, when the demand for low-grade coal decreased, war-time labor shortages interfered with production, and the mine was shut down (Rowe 1906:49; "Flathead Coal" 1892:1; Glacier View Ranger District 1981:2, 5; Sundborg 1945:9).
Coal beds were also located in the South Fork drainage. In the summer of 1891 William Curran camped at the coal fields and used the coal for fire and blacksmithing. He and others also found gold- and silver-bearing quartz in the area. In 1892 Frank Linderman drove a tunnel on his coal claim in the South Fork and reported, "Men are going in, in great numbers, some with and some without provisions." The Flathead National Forest's Coal Banks Ranger Station, 35 miles from Coram near the junction of the Echo Lake and the main South Fork trails, occupied land that had been claimed as coal lands since 1898. Beyond sinking a shaft about 10' in depth and relocating each year, however, no significant development work had been done by 1918. The Forest Service reported that the coal was low-grade lignite, lying in a small strata, and that even if a railroad were built, coal mining there would not be profitable ("New Mining Country" 1891; Johns 1943 VII: 115; Flathead National Forest "General Report" 1918).
Prospectors wandered all over the Flathead country in the 1890s. Coal was found on the first creek above Nyack (then known as Coal Creek), and in approximately 1910 the Ralston brothers attempted to a develop a coal mine on the Middle Fork within the area that is now the Bob Marshall Wilderness (Vaught ca. 1943:281; Merriam 1966:21).
On the Canadian side of the international boundary, in the early 1900s a major outcropping located about 12 miles north of the border in the North Fork was mapped, but there was little development. The town of Fernie was founded in 1889 when a company was formed to mine coal in the area. By 1903 six mines had been developed in the Fernie area, and at least one other was still in operation in 1967 (Ringstad 1976:5; Fernie Historical Association 1967:25, 41).
Placer and Lode Mining
For almost a decade after the California gold rush started in 1848, mining was carried on extensively only within that state. In the 1860s, however, the industry expanded eastward into the Rockies. Fort Colvile, for years the chief inland post of the HBC, became the first important center for mining development in the Inland Empire. Walla Walla, another important center, was founded in 1856 (Trimble 1914:7, 10-11, 15, 21).
The first gold in the future state of Montana was discovered in the early 1850s, but no rush of miners came into Montana until the strikes at Bannack City (1862), Alder Gulch (1863), and Last Chance Gulch (1864). From these mining towns prospectors ventured out looking for new lodes. Mining dramatically hastened the pace of development in the region. The large population increases led to increased demands for timber, transportation, and goods and services. Placer gold started the early rushes because it was easily recognizable and it could be extracted without large investments of capital.
The first gold stampede that directly affected the upper Flathead Valley was the rush to the Wild Horse diggings in British Columbia in 1864. The previous year two men had brought gold dust and nuggets found in what became known as Finlay Creek to the trader at Fort Kootenai in Tobacco Plains. Prospectors flooded into the area the next year, and a rich mining town sprang up. Most of the miners came from the United States, coming in from Walla Walla and the Idaho panhandle, but some traveled north through Montana. In 1865 there were over 5,000 miners in the area. This rush had the secondary effect of familiarizing some people with the upper Flathead country, and a number returned to the area to prospect after the profits at Wild Horse declined (Isch 1948:64; Graham 1945:126, 131, 132; Ivorson n.d.:42).
There was also some mining activity to the west of the Flathead Valley during this period. By the fall of 1867 over 500 miners were working on Libby Creek (a second rush in that area began in 1885). A placer mining stampede reportedly occured on Grave Creek on the west side of the Whitefish Divide in the early 1860s. The most productive mine in the Whitefish Divide was Independence, which yielded chalcopyrites of copper (a mineral consisting of copper-iron sulfide, an important ore of copper). Twelve men were working the mine in 1894 and shipping the ore by boat to Jennings (M. J. White 1993a:3; O. Johnson 1950:35-36; Wolle 1963:287). Many of the professional miners left the area in the late 1890s, however, pulled to the far north by the Klondike gold rush.
By 1870 the population of Montana territory was declining and so was its mining output. Fifteen years later, however, all had changed; the mines in the Anaconda-Butte area were so productive they were influencing world prices. Mining in Montana then took on a new form based on industrial centers and company towns (Paul 1963:143, 148).
Prospector's Life
The General Mining Act of 1872 made mineral lands a distinct class of public lands subject to sale under prices and requirements different from other lands. Any citizen finding a valuable mineral deposit on public land was entitled to the mineral without paying the government royalty or rent. He obtained title to the minerals by staking a claim and reporting the location to county officials. He was required to spend at least $100 a year on labor and improvements. Each locator was allowed to claim 20 acres of placer ground. For lode claims, miners could claim 1500' along the vein and up to 300' on either side of the contour of the ledge. Miners and prospectors were granted free-use permits to log timber to develop their claims. Once the property was producing ore for shipment, however, they had to pay for this privilege (Dana 1980:27; Stuart 1913:157-58).
In Montana, the discoverer of a claim was entitled to one claim for discovery and one for preemption (all others were allowed only one claim). The miner had to mark the boundaries and post notices giving information on the claim. If locating a lode claim, the miner also had to sink a discovery shaft at or near the point of discovery going at least 10' vertically and/or horizontally. According to the 1872 law, a miner could obtain a patent for his claim by having it surveyed, completing at least $500 in assessment work, filing appropriate notices, and paying $5 per acre for a lode claim or $2.50 per acre for placer ground.
Prospectors generally traveled in small, organized parties of between 5 and 50 men, and they were often experienced miners from California. The prospected seasonally, because they could not work when the streams froze (Trimble 1914:97, 223-224). Once prospectors located a claim, they generally sold it before development work began, lacking the money needed to develop mines themselves.
The most common source of placer gold found in Montana was the creek placer. In creek placers, the movement of water concentrated the gold on bedrock or in the gravels just above bedrock. A prospector panning for gold checked streambeds all along his route, panned the gravel in streambeds, and pecked at rock outcroppings and examined old streambeds. When he found placer gold (versus "fool's gold," or iron pyrite) he staked a claim and recorded it. Then he might build rockers (long cradles in which the gravel and sand were rocked, the gold sinking to the bottom as water flowed through). Or, he might build sluices, long connected troughs with cleated bottoms that caught the gold particles. A sluice required large amounts of water (and thus ditches) and a crew of several men to operate.
Once the placer gold was exhausted from his claim, the miner would work his way upstream looking for the source of the gold. He would find lodes in the hills and stake off claims to outcrops, then dig prospect holes. He would also construct drifts by digging a tunnel into the bank of a gulch to reach pay gravel. Lode miners used hand drills and jacks to drill into rock. This was followed by blasting, with powder packed into each drill hole. Various technological changes improved the drilling and blasting operations.
Gold from lode mines had to be recovered by grinding or stamping to pulverize the rock. If the ore was refractory (if threads or small particles were imbedded in other rock), the valuable gold or silver had to be released by chemicals or by roasting in a smelter (Wolle 1963:15-16, 18).
The simplest way to crush the ore was by using an arrastra. The arrastra was a shallow circular pit paved with flat stones. A horse pulled a sweep attached to a heavy dragstone across the chunks of ore. When ground to a powder, the ore was mixed with water and mercury for further processing. Another method of crushing the ore was the stamp mill, which pounded the ore with iron-bottomed stamps. Silver combines readily with other minerals in its natural state, so it required a more difficult processing method than gold. After crushing, silver ore was amalgamated or roasted to form chlorides that were treated through pan amalgamation and further refined by smelting. Stamp mills and smelters required ready access to capital; lode mining is much larger in scale and capital requirements than placer mining.
Like trappers' cabins, a miner's cabin was not always very comfortable. As one old-timer put it:
The miner's life was often quite difficult. For example, a group of prospectors traveled to the North Fork of the Flathead from Missoula in 1867. Their leader, E. K. Jaques, was accidentally shot through both legs by one of his companions. The party camped through the winter while he healed, returning in the spring to the Flathead Valley (Buchholtz 1976a:28).
Placer and Lode Mining in the Flathead
The evidence of late-1800s prospecting and mining in the Flathead is scattered. "Dutch Lui" (also known as Luis Meyers) prospected in the northern Rockies beginning in 1885. In 1889, at the head of Copper (now Valentine) and Quartz creeks, he located a vein carrying gold, silver, copper, and some lead. This started a minor boom as footloose prospectors came in to investigate (Buchholtz 1976a:31; Vaught ca. 1943:256, 366).
Another early trip into the region took place in 1876, when Texan William Veach and four other men headed to the North Fork to prospect. They prospected and trapped in the Logging Lake area, finding a 30-ounce nugget of gold near Quartz Lake and building a cabin there. Veach was the hunter and cook for the group; subsequently he returned to Texas (Veach 1939).
Evidence of very early prospecting was found in the area of Doris Creek off the South Fork, where hunters in 1898 found an old cabin with an adit nearby and piles of quartz studded with wire gold. Early prospectors also set up an arrastra to crush the ore on Fawn and Wounded Buck Creeks (there were probably others) (Green 1972 IV:122, 129, 131).
There has been quite a bit of mining activity northwest and southwest of Kalispell over the years. A sluice box and a diversion dam were installed on Herrig Creek west of Ashley Lake, for example. The Flathead Mine in the Hog Heaven district southwest of Kalispell was discovered in 1913 but remained idle until lessees discovered the main ore body in 1928. The Anaconda Copper Mining Company soon took over the lease and shipped high-grade ore intermittently, with most of the value in silver (they did not ship between 1930 and 1934 because of low silver prices). In the mid-1940s the mine was employing about 75 men. Three or four other mines were operating sporadically at that time, including the Ole Mine, about a mile directly west of the Flathead Mine, which had values in gold, silver, and lead (this was later developed again in the 1960s). The mine that produced more than 90% of the ore in the district, the Flathead Mine, closed in 1946 (Johns 1970:85, 137, 141; Sandvig 1947:35, 38; Sundborg 1945:59-60).
Several productive mines during the historic period were located in the Star Meadow mining district (see Figure 9). The Sullivan mine, which opened in the early 1890s, was located about 10 miles from Tally Lake. The copper ore was packed out by horses, but eventually the promising lead was cut off by a fault. In 1925 Glen Sucetti re-opened this mine and found a new lead of ore, and by 1934 he had constructed some buildings at the site ("Flathead's Mining" 1931:5; "Development" 1934:8).
Other mines in the Tally Lake area were located in the vicinity of Logan Creek (named for miner and attorney Sidney Logan) and Sanko Creek (named for miner Fred Sanko). The Foolsberg and the West Virginia Mines were located on the ridge between Sullivan and Griffin Creeks. The former was developed in 1920, the latter in the 1890s. The Blacktail prospect was discovered after the 1936 Sanko Creek fire burned the vegetation that had been obscuring the copper-containing vein. A few other claims in the Star Meadow district produced some ore in the 1920s and 1930s. The valuable ore contained copper with some gold and silver. Many other mines were developed but never went into production ("Tally Lake RD List of Names "in TLRD; Johns 1970:131-37).
The South Fork of the Flathead also had numerous mining claims for a time. In 1892 a local newspaper boasted that the South Fork "is now supposed to be one of the richest mineral regions in the State." In 1891 Baptiste Joyal and William Curran toured the South Fork, finding copper, silver, and gold, plus coal beds. By 1898, however, no ore had been shipped from the valley, and a surveyor passing through noted only about six cabins that were occupied seasonally by prospectors doing their assessment work. In 1913 another boom hit the South Fork, this time because of a copper strike about 35 miles south of Coram, with Felix Creek running through the center of the claims (Johns 1943 VII:39; Ayres "Lewis & Clarke" 1900:73; "Flathead Copper" 1913:1).
Baptiste Joyal (also known as XJoyal, Zeroyal, Zeroyle) trapped in the South Fork and was one of the first Euroamericans to live in the area. Like other prospectors, Joyal sometimes earned extra cash by working as a guide for miners. He guided two prosperous California miners across the Rockies by going up the South Fork and down the Sun River (Opalka 1983; Shaw 1967:46). Joyal died in the winter of 1909 in his cabin on Hoke Creek.
Another French-Canadian South Fork prospector was Felix Drollette. He worked Felix Basin and was the original prospector in Silver Basin, at the head of Logan Creek. A man named Harris had a cabin at the junction of Felix and Harris Creeks, and he had mine shafts at least 8 miles up the creek. Harris set up a tent camp in the Coram area, built a bunkhouse and a messhall in the area of the mine, and hired men to prospect the Hoke/Baptiste area, but he found only copper stain, no ore (Opalka n.d.; Opalka 1983; Martin 1983; Green 1972 IV: 133).
Farther up the South Fork, Levi Gaustadt filed a barite claim in 1958 on Black Bear Creek. Although the material was assayed as highly productive, the claim was never patented (Shaw 1967:22).
Prospectors spent long weeks searching the drainages of the Middle Fork of the Flathead for valuable minerals with little success. In 1899 there were reportedly several new claim stakes between Bear Creek and Java, and some copper claims were staked in 1898 on Summit Creek not far above Java. Several miners staked claims near Bear Creek on the Middle Fork, including Kalispell attorney Sidney Logan and nearby homesteaders Louise and Philip Giefer. Some mining claims were also located in the Belton and Essex areas (in fact, Almeda Lake may be named for a woman named Almeda who was listed as a mine claimant) (Ayres "Lewis & Clarke" 1900:37; Ayres "Flathead" 1900:313; Holterman 1985:19-20, 45).
Two French-Canadians named Pauket prospected in the 1890s all over the Flathead area. They located claims on Deerlick creek near Nyack in the Middle Fork, driving an adit in the face of a cliff. They spent a winter in Butte, as many Flathead miners did, and the next year sold out for $8,000. In 1934 a claim near Garry Lookout above Nyack was worked, causing a minor rush of prospectors to the area, but most abandoned their prospects (Green 1972 IV: 134, 141).
Northeast of Eureka, prospectors staked several copper-silver-lead claims in the 1890s in the Bluebird Basin. During the summer of 1894, 12 men worked on the mine and shipped ore to Great Falls for processing. Profits were low over the years, and development plans were curtailed with the coming of World War I. In 1912 a mining claim was located near Upper Whitefish Lake with men digging a prospect tunnel 155' deep into the mountain. A little earlier, in 1905, the Lupfer Mining Company had claims eight miles northwest of Whitefish, but this company disappeared within a year. Charlie Oettiker, who homesteaded on Oettiker Creek, claimed to have found gold, silver, platinum, and uranium in an outcrop behind his cabin (O. Johnson 1950:37-38; Shea 1977:117; "Prospect Tunnel" 1912; Schafer 1973:67; Boettcher 1974:221). Other miners started excited rumors about finds, but the real money was actually made in real estate.
Very little prospecting or development work was ever done in the Swan Valley. In 1899, H. B. Ayres reported that there was no mining work or prospecting in the Swan. In 1908 Joe Waldbillig filed a mining claim at the mouth of Holland Lake, but he probably never worked it. There are a tunnel and track east of Owl Creek and abandoned mines on the west slopes of the Swan Range farther north, in the Lake Blaine area and on Columbia Mountain. One prospector who spent every summer in the Missions for 30-some years, reported that "all I got is a sore back" (Ayres "Lewis & Clarke" 1900:80; Wolff 1980:53; Beck 1981).

In a move that will shock nobody who follows Formula One, it appears as thought Eddie Jordan has agreed to a deal to sell his struggling F1 outfit to the Midland Group. The Jordan team will run the 2005 season as Jordan-Toyota, and Eddie Jordan will remain involved, but will become Midland F1 at the end of 2005. Over the past 14-years, Eddie Jordan, has been a very colorful figure in the F1 paddock, bringing a brighter, more casual, more entertaining element to the often tight and stuffy world of Formula One. Since 1991 Jordan has been responsible for bringing many young talents into F1, perhaps most notably Michael Schumacher, and were most successful in the late 1990's with a handful of victories and a third in the Constructors Championship in 1999. Since then, it has been a painful decline for Jordan, who has appeared to be on the brink of bankrupcy several times since 2002, and has made no secret of his desire to sell to a proper investor. Hopefully, Midland will be that investor, and bring the remnants of Jordan back to it's late-90's prominence
