Farm Visit: Whitesbog, NJ
Monday, September 19, 2016
I'm not sure if it's fair to simply call Whitesbog a farm. A restored village that once supported a thriving cranberry and blueberry production, Whitesbog is a beautiful slice of Pine Barrens history.
We visited during an art festival featuring site specific installations and a preview screening of an excellent documentary film called The Pine Barrens, but on any day a visitor can roam the 3,000 acres of bogs, trails and forest, stop in the general store that houses what was once the post office, and view the newly created Whitesbog Art Gallery.
One of the restored homes is that of Elizabeth Coleman White, granddaughter to the original owner and founder of the cranberry production. It was White who, along with Dr. Frederick V. Coville, through exhaustive research and experimentation brought successful blueberry cultivation to the entire region.
The bogs are only a short walk or ride down a dirt path from most of the buildings of Whitesbog, and you shouldn't miss them. Like the rest of the Pine Barrens, it's hard to stand amid them and remember you are in the most densely populated state in the country.
Farm Visit: Saul Agricultural High School
Saturday, August 06, 2016
While we've driven by it many times on our way to hiking along the Wissahickon, we had never stopped at the student run farm at Saul Agricultural High School until last week. Managed with the help of Weavers Way staff, students and faculty grow vegetables for the Henry Got Crops! CSA (long sold out this year) and the twice weekly market located at 7095 Henry Avenue.
Student volunteers were out working, and the market was full of seasonal fare. We loved that you can also pick up an assortment of locally made favorites such as Philly Muffins. The CSA boxes looked lovely as well.
Blog Dog
Monday, July 25, 2016
I hope you'll forgive me for the cheesy filter on the photo above. It is of a hot dog after all, though one made by the exceptional Stryker Farm. We enjoyed these as much as their bangers last winter.
Market Highlights: Christ Church Old City July 20th
Wednesday, July 20, 2016
Having missed Headhouse this weekend, it was great to be able to pick up some midweek groceries at Christ Church Farmers' Market this afternoon. Vendors included Cherry Grove Farm, who brought a variety of their cheeses, and Beechwood Orchards, where we snapped up the first blackberries we've seen all year. Taproot Farm also had a lovely variety of produce, including the sunflower shoots above. We walked home happy with a delicious cup of buckwheat cherry ice cream from Weckerly's.
Va La's Zafferano
Saturday, July 16, 2016
Anthony Vietri does not make a lot of wine; neither does Anthony make many types of wine. So a new, limited release from Va La is worth noting, and just as summer is reaching its midpoint, we have another one in Zafferano. Like all Va La wines, it's made with a combination of estate-grown grapes - this time, in the style of an "orange" wine. Orange wines leave the juice in contact with the skins before being separated (hence the color). I've had several orange wines before, French and Italian, and I have found their style to be as varied as wines designated "white" or "red." Not surprisingly, therefore, the Zafferano manages to stand apart from other orange wines just as Va La's other wines stand apart from more traditional white and red.
The first thing I noticed was the deep, rich color. I actually delayed smelling and tasting it just so I could stare at it. The nose of this wine is of some fruit, but I don't know what type of fruit it is. It isn't red fruit, black fruit, stone fruit, or berries. The closest thing I could think of would be watermelon, but an intensely scented and flavored watermelon. I mean, like the best watermelon I've ever tasted. Then, I smell flowers - honeysuckle in particular. Once I tasted it, I was surprised how those sweet aromas were combined with a taste devoid of sweetness. In other words, this wine could pair beautifully with any local food the summer spurs you to eat. So, combining a gorgeous scent with a dry taste, properly chilled, makes for an incredibly refreshing glass on a summer afternoon.
And that's exactly what we did.
You Must Return Here With A Shrubbery
Wednesday, July 13, 2016
Several years ago, I was enjoying a drink (at a now-shuttered restaurant) so much that I complimented the bartender on my cocktail. He nodded in agreement and replied, "Shrubs are cool." I am ashamed to admit I had no idea what he was talking about. (That's not entirely true. There was muddled thyme in my cocktail, so I assumed he was referring to that.) Only very recently did I connect that statement with the Martha Washington Raspberry Shrub served at City Tavern, even though I have walked by the sign advertising said shrub at least a thousand times.
Needless to say, I am an extremely late-comer to the possibilities of fruit shrubs. (For those readers who truly are the last people on Earth to learn of them, shrubs are fruit-based syrups mixed with vinegar.) One day several weeks ago, I decided to experiment with some underripe strawberries, using this recipe. After a little more research, I came about this from Michael Dietsch. Taking Dietsch at his word, I used the cold method for my next shrub. However, I wasn't using strawberries this time; I was using rhubarb recently picked from our garden.
The result was definitely more flavorful, and Dietsch is absolutely correct that the acid mellows in time, but this shrub did not have the viscosity of the cooked one. I am confident enough in the cold method to use it for any other fruit, but given the texture of rhubarb, I think I would use the "hot" method in the hopes it might further break down and exude its juices. Nonetheless, Dietsch's cocktail recipe was much better than the previous, and it made a delicious cocktail with club soda and Bluecoat Gin.
Half-White Isn't Half-Bad
Wednesday, June 01, 2016
I would like to say that when I ordered Castle Valley Mill's Stone Ground Bolted Hard Wheat Flour, it was after a great deal of research and deliberation. But what I should say is the truth: recalling that we had run out of whole-wheat flour while I was in the middle of placing an order with the incomparable Winter Harvest, I saw "whole wheat" in the name and "good for baking" in the description. That was it, but "it" turned out to be a fortuitous discovery.
Accoring to the Castle Valley Mill site, what makes this flour unique is that the coarsest pieces of bran are sifted out, leaving a much lighter flour. In fact, Castle Valley describes it as "half white." While it is true that there is some nutritional value lost by sifting out the bran, I can now bake bread using only this flour. Previously, I could use only 30% whole-wheat flour at best. You can see the result in my focaccia (taken from Anna Del Conte's Gastronomy of Italy).
I had little difficulty hydrating or handling this dough, and the rising time wasn't any longer. Also, the texture was the same light, sponginess you would expect of focaccia. Most importantly, I could indulge in an extra piece (or two) without feeling much guilt.

Market Highlights: Headhouse Market May 22nd
Sunday, May 22, 2016
It has seemed like a particularly long wait for strawberries this year, but they are finally here. We got two pints - one from Queens Farm and a ripe, eat right now pint from Beechwood Orchards. Vera Pasta, new to the market, had various shapes of fresh pasta on display. Lots of greens, of course - particularly the first spinach I've seen this year along with the hardier arugula, pea and fava shoots, and various lettuces. We've gotten into a delicious Monday habit of having a Market Day Canele tart for lunch - this week's is asparagus and mushroom.
A Midwinter's Day in the Lehigh Valley
Sunday, February 07, 2016
Between the melting mounds of old, dirty snow and the perpetual construction in the neighborhood, we had a strong urge to get out of the city yesterday. So, we made a return trip to of our favorite local wineries: Pinnacle Ridge and Galen Glen, both in the Lehigh Valley. As Craig Laban noted in his 2014 article, Lehigh Valley white wines are remarkable, but Pinot Noir is also served well by the cooler climate. On this trip, however, we weren't so much sampling recent vintages as a stocking our wine cellar. (Please note that by "wine cellar," I simply mean a cleared out space space on the floor and shelves of our basement pantry, which remains a fairly steady temperature year-round.) Tasting the wines with that specific intent altered the experience. Rather than deciding which wines I liked best, I was deciding which wines I liked that were also most versatile.
From Pinnacle Ridge, we brought back the Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. The Cabernet Franc has a nice, light mouthfeel and herbal, peppery taste that is slightly tannic. While the tannins could soften over time, I don't think it will be hanging around that long. Unusual for us, we also picked up two bottles of the Chardonnay - the oaked one, mind you, and not the one fermented in stainless steel tanks. Over the winter, I found myself wanting a glass of oaked Chardonnay along with roasted whitefish or chicken. It may be the presence of butter in those dishes, or my own association of butter and oaked Chardonnay, but eating them without the wine was feeling incomplete.
From Galen Glen, we brought home a full case, eight bottles of which are the Stone Cellar Gruner Veltliner. I've written about this wine on several occasions before, so there isn't much new that I can say about it. It's delicious, fragrant, and beautifully balanced, and I can't imagine it not improving any food it's paired with. It's also complex enough that I can imagine drinking eight bottles without tiring of it. We also brought home two bottles of the Stone Cellar Gewurztraminer and two of the Stone Cellar Riesling. The Gewurztraminer has a heavily floral nose and tastes of tropical fruit. I imagine pairing it with curries or spicy food quite easily. The Riesling is bracingly acidic, and it somehow manages to evoke most of the citrus fruits in a single glass. If I could ever convince the relatives to come here for Thanksgiving, this would be the wine I would serve, but this wine is so refreshing, it will work with just about anything.

Local Bitters for the Holidays
Friday, December 04, 2015
We just got back from the member preview of Bartram's Garden's Holiday Greens Sale, where we picked up armfuls of lovely holly and other evergreens along with a jar of Bartram's Bitters. The bitters are made locally from John Bartram's own recipe by Philadelphia Distilling and Fair Food Philly. The Greens Sale runs tomorrow from 10-3, promising wreaths and centerpieces as well, along with various artisan vendors.

Just Add Water
Sunday, November 01, 2015
Savoie Organic Farm is now growing these beautiful little Mexican black turtle beans, a wonderful addition to the variety of dried beans to be found at Headhouse Farmers' Market this time of year. I love turtle beans both for their texture and versatility, so we bought plenty to last until the next harvest.
Cheerful Weather for the Mash
Saturday, October 03, 2015
The chilly wind and rain of the last few days sent us straight to brand new British Pie and Mash shop Stargazy's Facebook page in the hopes they hadn't sold out yet for the day. They hadn't, and in addition to shots of the daily menu and the pies themselves we also noticed something that's always a good sign to us: a proud picture of their weekly farm delivery, this one from nearby Wuillermin Farms in Hammonton, NJ.

Crack Open A Book
Tuesday, September 29, 2015
With Sunday's Headhouse Market closed due to the Papal Visit, we had stocked up the week before. Then the weekend came, and the blissfully car free streets full of happy residents and visitors made eating out seem so much more appealing than cooking that fridge full of food. I was feeling a little dispirited by the idea of getting through it all, until I decided to take a look at a cookbook or two for some motivation. A few minutes later, having flipped through 100 or so pages of Tender by Nigel Slater, I had three recipes we could easily make with everything we had on hand.
It seems so silly to say "and then I thought of my cookbooks!", but this time of year I really do tend to forget them. So much of what's available right now needs little in the way of a recipe to make a delicious dinner. Blogs, newspapers, and magazines all offer recipes perfect for the season. But a cookbook like Tender, as the subtitle "A Cook and His Vegetable Patch" suggests, is perfect for looking up individual vegetables and finding simple, seasonal dishes. I immediately made a broccoli and bacon soup for lunches, the recipe available here, then moved on to baked eggplant with tomato and parmesan for dinner.
Last of the Summer Wine
Tuesday, September 22, 2015
As the Summer of 2015 is officially coming to a close, I wanted to include one last word. We drank several local wines throughout the summer (especially Hawk Haven's Pinot Grigio), but the standout was unquestionably Turdo's Sauvignon Blanc. Like Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc can come off a bit austere. Bracingly acidic and bright, but with little in the way of nose or finish. Not Turdo's. First, the color has a slight blush - perhaps from some contact with the skin. Second, the nose contains citrus fruit, but there is also something, in my opinion, herbal to it. The acidity is nicely balanced, and the finish surprisingly long. Rather than suggest a perfect pairing for this wine - because it is so versatile, I would find it impossible to recommend only one - I suggest a perfect setting: a blanket on the beach, some cheese and salumi to snack on, and a late summer sunset.

Market Highlights: Headhouse Market June 7th
Sunday, June 07, 2015
t's starting to really feel like summer at Headhouse Market. The zucchini is here for one, available at Blooming Glen and Savoie Organic Farm in all sorts of lovely shapes and colors. Other new arrivals included fennel, new potatoes, beets and fava beans. Queens Farm also had these flat green beans that the attendant told us last week were so good she ate them for breakfast. She was right - we came back this week for two quarts.

DEA Raids Las Vegas Pot Shops; L.A. Party People Bummed
Just this week marijuana dispensary backers were whining to the Los Angeles City Council about its tough pot-shop law (even though it's not even being enforced). They're lucky they're not in Las Vegas, L.A.'s own Jersey Shore in the desert, where the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration this week raided five cannabis outlets, including Happiness Consultant, Salvation Haven, Nature's Way, Organic Releaf, and Holistic Solutions, according to Americans for Safe Access.
Of course, ASA is pissed. The group has been on a tear against the DEA for continuing to crackdown on pot shops in states where medical marijuana is legal despite a directive from the Obama administration to put a stop to the raids. In recent months the ASA has decried similar raids in San Diego and elsewhere.
According to a statement, the group reserves most of its ire for ...
Bush-appointee Michele Leonhart, who served as deputy under DEA Administrator Karen Tandy; both were responsible for more than 200 federal raids in California and other medical marijuana states during the Bush Administration. Against objections from medical marijuana advocates, President Obama nominated Leonhart to head the DEA under his Justice Department, but her Senate confirmation has yet to be scheduled.
So next time you're at Rehab, Wet Republic or a Party at the Palms, and you can't get your green meds, blame Bush ... and Obama.
"The federal government should never be called on to enforce local or state medical marijuana laws," states Caren Woodson, ASA's director for government affairs. "The federal DEA must abide by the Justice Department policy and stay out of the enforcement of local and state medical marijuana laws."

Kakita Saigyu was a poet of the Crane Clan who began the tradition of the artist's journey.
Artist's Journey Edit
Saigyu was in service to a Crane courtier of the Imperial Court. He was so afraid of the mercurial Hantei XVI that requested leave to go on a "poet's musha shugyo" and travel across the Empire. After six years wandering Rokugan he returned to Otosan Uchi and started publishing his journals, which became very popular. The link between travel and art was made, and the tradition continued in the centuries that followed. [1] During the reign of Hantei XVII Saigyu lived in Water Music Village, and recorded his admiration for a particularly lovely waterfall nearby. [2]

A once in a lifetime find
I tried to get the name of the artist, since the dolls were unsigned, but all the owner would tell me is they were made by a man named Mark that lives in Canton, Ohio, and he prefers to stay in the background. He was a set designer, and clothing designer for a traveling acting troupe. He is retired now and prefers the arrangement of making what he wants and letting someone else sell them. He is so precise with his stitches, nothing is glued, all parts of the clothing are made as the real ones, underwear and all. They have tiny earrings, rings and necklaces. purses and suit cases, parasols. The detail is unbelievable. The mans jacket is lined, no raw edges anywhere. I would have liked to get them all!
He made a lot of Edwardian dolls and Kings and Queens, but that is not my era. A toy maker with a table of toys, a lot of Mother and Daughter together. There was one 1950's doll that almost looked like Lucy.
It is so refreshing to find something like this. It is an unbelievable miniature find and I shall
truly treasure these.
The Vault in Wooster Ohio has an online presence on the web.

A house on Chelsea Avenue in Dayton has received at least 19 written warnings from animal control officers about reports of pitbulls running loose and even attacking people. Neighbor Kermit Johnson keeps a hand axe and pole on his porch for protection.
"I don't want my arm shredded or my throat slit or whatever that dog will do," said the 72-year old Army veteran, who has lived in his home for 27 years.
Montgomery County's Animal Resource Center issued thousands of warnings to dog owners between 2011 and 2013. But a Dayton Daily News investigation found calls to ARC rarely result in actual penalties for violations of dog laws.
And some residents say many dogs are allowed to run free and terrorize neighborhoods.
A newspaper analysis of Montgomery County Animal Resource Center records found ARC officers responded to 20,293 calls in 2012 and 2013. Of those, 4,142 resulted in a warning being issued and 697 resulted in one or more citations. The county in each of those years issued more than 900 citations, some resulting in fines as low as $10.
The newspaper acquired call logs for 2011 through 2013 from the ARC using Ohio's public records law, after Dayton resident Klonda Richey was mauled to death Feb. 7 at her home on East Bruce Avenue by two mixed mastiff dogs owned by her neighbors, Andrew Nason and Julie Custer.
A Daily News investigation revealed that Richey had sought protection from the dogs and her neighbors for months before her death.
In total, 13 complaints were filed with the Animal Resource Center related to the dogs next door to Richey's home and another 46 calls were made to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center between Dec. 27, 2011, and Richey's death. Nine calls about the dogs running loose — including claims the dogs were chasing people — resulted in written warnings.
None of the complaints resulted in citations.
Richey also filed for a civil stalking protection order but was denied in April 2013. A Montgomery County grand jury has been impaneled to consider possible charges against Nason and Custer.
In its investigation of the county's response to dog complaints, the newspaper found numerous examples of residents frustrated over what they considered lax enforcement of dog laws.
Animal Resource Center officials visited a duplex on Catalpa Avenue six times in the three months before Sept. 27, 2013, including on Sept. 10. Seventeen days later they responded to a neighbor's complaint that a Great Dane corpse was left to rot in the back of a van.
They found the Great Dane in the van, a deceased puppy in a trash can and a third dead dog on a landing in the house. Nearly a dozen other dogs were found living in filth.
"You couldn't describe it," said the neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous. "I almost threw up."
Hazel White's neighbors in Miamisburg have made multiple complaints about her dogs — Buddy and Snowman — and White is one of several people who have received 10 or more written warnings since 2011.
But she has paid little penalty.
In September 2011 White was cited twice, two days apart. In both cases she was fined $10.
'No violation of law'
County officials say warnings, rather than citations, often are issued because animal control officers do not witness violations while they are happening. In the Chelsea Avenue case, for example, officers did not find a dog at large when they responded to the scene, said Amy Wiedeman, assistant county administrator.
"There was no violation of law," she said. "We can't cite based on no violation. We do it the times we think it's warranted."
In many cases, complaints are connected to neighbor disputes, said Wiedeman and Joe Tuss, county administrator. People have different tolerance levels about dogs, Tuss said. What one person thinks is appropriate behavior for a dog can be perceived as unacceptable by another person who may feel threatened.
Animal control officers try to work with owners to help them resolve issues related to their dogs before issuing stiffer penalties, Tuss said.
Wiedeman and Tuss also pointed to the difficulty in reaching owners. Multiple reports noted that officers frequently are unable to make contact with the actual owners of the dogs.
The Animal Resource Center has a staff of 28 which includes 11 animal control officers and the dog warden, Mark Kumpf.
Wiedeman and Tuss declined to comment on anything related to the Richey case, citing advice from the county prosecutor. Kumpf was not made available to comment.
'They just don't care'
Kermit Johnson and his neighbors around 1158 Chelsea Ave. expressed frustration with what they perceive as a lack of urgency for dealing with dogs, including pit bulls, they see roaming around the Belmont neighborhood.
"I think that when they're called on a vicious dog report they should respond as fast as a 911 call," said Johnson. "Because that could be the next call is a 911 call."
Donna Russell, who lives across the street from Johnson, said she has complained three or four times about dogs from that address running loose.
"They were jumping the fence," she said of the dogs. "It's a shame that whoever you call, you get the feeling they just don't care."
ARC records show officers sometimes responded within a couple of hours to the complaints about loose dogs at 1158 Chelsea. Other times, there was no visit until the next day — even though two of the calls came in before 2:30 p.m.
Wiedeman and Tuss said frequently calls are left on voicemail at the Animal Resource Center in the evening hours and that officers respond when they pick up the message the following day.
A county document sent to dispatch centers lists normal hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. between November and March and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. between April to October. After hours, ARC has an officer on call for emergencies.
Officers respond to sick, injured or dangerous animals in the middle of the night if necessary, Tuss and Wiedeman said. "We prioritize the same way other policing agencies do," Tuss said.
'They're not vicious'
After issuing numerous warnings at the Chelsea Avenue address, officers cited James Gross in September for failing to license the dogs. He didn't pay the citation and has a warrant out, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.
Reporters found Gross and Karen Johnson at home with a pitbull named China, a Chihuahua named Jeremiah – who Gross said is licensed at a different address — two cats and Mister Duck, their pet Easter duck from 2013.
"They're not vicious," Gross said of the dogs. In fact, he said one of the dogs listed in the complaints – a black and white pitbull – not only isn't his, but jumped over the fence into his yard a couple months ago and impregnated China. China's litter is only a few weeks old and Johnson and Gross said they intend to either give away or sell the puppies.
"I've never been able to get hold of them when I call them," Gross said of his attempts to inform the dog warden that he is getting warnings for someone else's dog. Wiedeman said this was the first time she heard of the discrepancy about the dogs.
Johnson said the family got rid of their male pitbull, Lucien, who was chocolate with a red tint, because neighbors were lodging so many complaints about him.
'They appeared fine'
In the months before three dogs were found dead at the property on Catalpa Avenue, Animal Resource Center officials visited the duplex several times.
A 5:48 p.m. call on July 18, 2013, about a dog with open sores was responded to the next day. No one was home, according to a report on the visit, so the officer walked around to the back of the house and saw the garage had been turned into kennels.
The officer did not enter the garage but noted in the report that the homeowner had a kennel license and "from what I could make out of the dogs shape, they appeared fine."
A month later, on Aug. 24, officers took possession of two dogs police said escaped the house and had chased someone. The dogs were taken back to the ARC and a cruelty investigation was started "due to the severe underweight conditions" of the dogs, according to an ARC report. During that visit, "There were at least four other Great Danes in the detached garage but I did not enter the garage," an officer reported.
Three days later, a man who said he responded to a Craigslist ad and arranged to live at the house in exchange for caring for the dogs, took an ARC officer to the detached garage where nine dogs, most of them Great Danes, were kenneled.
Most "were underweight with rib, hip and back bones prominent," the report said. Although dry food was available, the raw meat the owners had delivered for the dogs ran out five days earlier, according to the tenant, Nathaniel McDavid.
The dogs were licensed to Lillian Jones, whose husband Steven tried to claim the two impounded dogs on Aug. 24. Steven Jones told officers he hadn't been to the house in two months.
On Sept. 10, 17 days before the dead dogs were found, an officer wrote that he spoke to the Lillian Jones by phone and looked at the dogs. "They appear to have gained weight. I will continue to check on progress."
The neighbor who spoke anonymously said the smell of death had been growing for roughly two weeks before the grisly discovery of dead dogs at 2306 Catalpa Drive.
After maggots and flies began multiplying on the border of her property, she said she peeked into the van and saw what appeared to be dog legs and paws sticking out from under a tarp.
"To me an animal is like a child," she said. "They can't take care of themselves. It's our job to make sure they're fed, and watered and played with. They need all those things."
The woman called into the Animal Resource Center at 5:47 p.m. on Sept. 26. When an officer responded at 9:30 a.m. the following morning, he was "greeted by the odor of decay as I parked."
"The property was unkempt with trash, debris and junk on the porch and yard," the report says. "There was an odor emanating from in and around the residence that was consistent in my knowledge, training and experience with animals kept in unfit conditions."
Animal officers called housing inspectors, who condemned the property. ARC officers accompanied them as they entered the property to secure it. Eventually they got a search warrant.
"The floors and walls of the entire residence were caked with feces and urine," the report says. There were 10 adult dogs and three puppies on the property, several of them with fight scars and appearing malnourished. There also were several caged rabbits.
Tuss and Wiedeman defended the county's response. The officer saw conditions improving and typically would allow a 10 to 14 day window before returning to check on the dogs, they said.
"We run based on a complaint model," Tuss said. "We respond to calls for service and demand."
He noted that no additional calls complaining about the house had come between Sept. 10 and Sept. 26, and an ARC officer had been in contact with the dog owners to improve the health of the dogs and their living conditions.
"It was incredibly unfortunate," Tuss said. "It is a judgment call.
"(ARC officers) exercise what I consider to be good and trained judgment. Our animal control officers have a very tough job."
According to an Oct. 8, 2013, report by Kelly Meyer, the veterinarian at the Animal Resource Center: The majority of dogs were underweight, some severe. Most of the dogs exhibited wounds consistent with territorial fighting, an indicator of overcrowding. All of the dogs were severely infested with fleas and had a foul odor. Two dogs had ringworm, including a nursing mother whose three puppies were infested with fleas. Another female was pregnant.
"It is finally the opinion of this examiner that the above noted conditions (fleas, fighting, weight loss, unsanitary conditions) would have been easily apparent to a person with little or no animal care experience," the report said.
Kennel license holder Lillian Jones was charged in October with 43 misdemeanor counts of cruelty and failing to care for a companion animal, according to Dayton Municipal Court. She has an active arrest warrant. She could not be reached for comment.
'They're very protective'
When reporters walked up to Hazel White's Miamisburg home this month, they were met with a pair of snarling, barking dogs that barged out of the door without a leash. White was able to get them tied up after yelling at them for a minute or so.
"I'm here by myself an awful lot of the time," the 83-year-old said. "They're very protective. But they have never bit anybody."
An ARC officer cited White on May 22 when he said one of her dogs – Buddy or Snowman — charged him. The ticket was the fourth given White since 2011, and followed 10 warnings, including that her dogs were chasing after the school bus.
On Sept. 22, 2011, an officer said Buddy tried to bite him. White was cited and paid $10 in fines and court costs, according to Miamisburg Municipal Court records.
Two days later, ARC officers got another call that Buddy had gotten loose. She was cited for failing to license the dogs and paid another $10 fine.
The next day ARC received another call that the dogs were loose. Two days later they responded and found the dogs tethered to the porch. Officers couldn't get to the porch to post another warning.
More warnings were issued in November and December. Finally, she was cited again in December after officers responded to complaints that the dogs were chasing the school bus and the dogs charged at the ARC van.
"I had to shove one away with my police baton to avoid being bitten," the officer wrote in the report. "White did not have control of the dogs and could only get one to come to her with lunch meat."
White was forced to pay $130 that time.
Warnings continued through 2012 and 2013, with neighbors complaining a child had been knocked over or that their dog had been attacked.
One of White's neighbors, Ed Lantz, said complaints show little results.
"They never do nothing," he said. "I keep complaining and complaining about it…but when you complain about it they say there ain't nothing they can do if they don't see it."
"Somebody is going to get hurt seriously. I don't see why that has to happen. They (ARC officers) go out there and pick them up and say, 'don't do that no more.'"
Wiedeman said supervisors can order 10-day patrols — daily monitoring — in response to citizen complaints of ongoing problems. Such patrols were not ordered in response to complaints from Klonda Richey or from neighbors in the Chelsea Avenue and Catalpa Drive cases.
It was ordered on White's dogs in 2011. The dogs are now labeled a nuisance and White faces a fine of up to $165 if she is cited.
Enforcement lacks bite
Former Brown County dog warden Dale Bath said prosecutors and the courts, and not animal control officers, are responsible for any lax enforcement.
"You'd go out and write a citation for dogs not being licensed, you'd go to court and the judge would throw it out," said Bath, who owns Harlequin Haven in Bethel, where some of the Great Danes from the Catalpa duplex were transported and adopted out.
"The problem we see is that the courts don't want to convict anybody," she said.
Tuss and Wiedeman also said fine enforcement is a problem. Animal control officers, they said, work hard on cases and then are frustrated when judges issue low fines or suspend them.
"The worst thing is to issue a fine," Tuss said. "They can't pay it and then there's a warrant for their arrest. It confuses and clogs the criminal justice system."
A recent dog bite case resulted in a $5 fine, according to Wiedeman. "It's frustrating because officers spent a lot of time on the case," she said.
Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer said dog wardens have limited authority and he thinks enforcement actions should be handled by his office.
"I just want to do the investigations to protect people," Plummer said. "Either enhance their authority or let us do the enforcement."
Dayton Daily News reporters examined hundreds of documents and thousands of records related to the work of the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center in the wake of Klonda Richey's mauling death in February. Reporters visited several neighborhoods throughout Montgomery County where residents had complained about dogs and spoke with owners and neighbors about their concerns.

The wonderful views, taking in the towers of Siena in the distance, from this delightful villa are Chianti through and through – a patchwork of neatly cultivated vineyards and olive groves draped over gently rolling hills. And being south facing, you'll be bathed in Tuscan sunshine from dawn 'til dusk.
In La Casa dei Mandorli, you have the perfect romantic interlude in this bijou villa for two that you can't help but fall a little bit in love with. The spacious living/dining area with its bold modern art and contemporary lighting makes the biggest impact, and the interiors of soft cream, pale tiled floors and natural wood, with delicate feminine touches in the lace trim of the fabrics and pretty knick-knacks show the tremendous care and attention to detail the owners, Luca and Martina, spent creating this special place.
The villa is cleverly designed so only the back wall adjoins the owner's home allowing maximum privacy and as you sit on the stone terrace, listening to the gentle flow of water over the edge of the infinity pool, there's nothing between you and that view. However, if you want advice on places to see, Luca and Martina are happy to offer you suggestions, as well as cook you a delicious dinner if you ask (payable locally).
The local area
For dining out or stocking up, there's the tiny hamlet of Lecchi, 2km away, with a grocery store and wine bar/restaurant. Nearer still is Ama, which has a restaurant with wine cellars and wine tasting, although the region is full of opportunities for sipping Chianti Classico.
In typical Tuscan style, there's also a beautiful medieval town not far away. About a 20-minute drive from Lecchi, Radda in Chianti dates from the 9th century. In July the Radda 1527 festival takes place there, with food stalls and historic re-enactments. It's just one of the lively celebrations held over the summer, blessed as you are with a location tucked snugly between the 'Golden Triangle' of San Gimignano, Siena and Florence, the latter just over an hour's drive away.

Has anyone else had an issue with the sel/set dial on the FS5? The dial works but the select does not. You can push the dial in but it does not select the highlighted menu item.
I was going to send it in for warrenty but I was told it takes 4-6 weeks to repair... That's a problem for me.

I don't understand why it would take 4-6 weeks to replace the rotary encoder/switch. It should be a 30min job at most. I guess they may not have the part in stock.

I had the same issue. I found a solution, but it doesn't make sense to me.
I could see that the "2" would go on and off on the manual volume adjustment display (shown above channel volume on bottom right of display). When I switched channel 2 to "auto" instead of manual, the select button worked as normal.
I have no idea what is going on here, but at least I can use my camera again! If anyone can explain this, please do.

exactly the same thing happened to my unit (in the middle of a shoot, of course) - select button not working suddenly even though scroll does.
and exactly the same thing fixed it - changing audio channel 2 from manual to auto.
this is obviously a fault in the design or manufacture.
anyway - thanks for posting the 'solution'. Now only the audio is faulty (for the time being)

Mine did same thing. I just use the selector switch on the handgrip. A buddy sent his FS5 in for the fix, took 6 weeks. Sony has a huge back up in service right now.....took almost 3 weeks to get my F5 back after having the firmware updated.
03-14-2017 06:42 AM edited {1}
One of ours was doing the same thing. Had to send it out with a rental client with the instruction to use the hand grip to select things. Thankfully they are one of our best clients and were cool with it. Now the camera is back and working fine, go figure.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Charlotte, NC, United States, 2006/04/10 - CharlotteCritic takes a look at yet another Mexican big gun entering an already swamped Mexican dining arena. Charlotte is a hot bed for this market and competition takes many new shots at the youthful dollars near UNCC.
Moe's Mexican restaurant builds very close to competition as well as the college lifestyle.
The fact that they built so close to Qdoba in the Promenade shows either confidence in their product or a different target audience. I think they have a different target audience and a better parking situation which should lead to them beating out Qdoba for most of the college crowd once they get found.
The food is amazingly similar to what Qdoba serves with a bit more authenticity and a little less retro-yuppie design in mind. Needless to say the hot sauce actually making me sweat was nice to find in a semi-fast food situation like this.
To walk in you will see student serving students and music playing in what can only be described as a 'cool place'. The two people working were both very cool in offering suggestions and assure me that the ranch sauce on your burrito is a very smart choice. I had a pretty massive steak burrito that is equal in size and weight to what Qdoba serves, which is a compliment. The burrito doesn't though have 75% rice and beans like Qdoba served. The burrito at Moe's was more meat, cheese and vegetables, or to say traditional. I'm not bashing Qdoba on this fact, the rice and beans has a excellent distinct tang to it that cool also, but not my personal preference.
While comparing this with Qdoba and the similarities, we need to say you get a much larger menu here and it should definitely withstand return visits much better over the college school year. Pretty much all the standard basket edible Mexican dishes like tacos, nachos, burritos and more all served for about $6 to $8.
If you are out with your new boss, your uppity co workers or your girlfriends parents then maybe stopping at Qdoba's somewhat "clean cut good food on the go" appeal is best. But if you are a student looking for a new place in the area for late night or pre-party food with your boys that is pretty cool and should become a popular spot then try Moes first.
Moe's Southwest Grill is straight forward tasty basket Mexican with lots of sauces, clean environment and very friendly staff that is sure to win over the college crowd with a very cool atmosphere and setting.
Basically with the college buck on the line this franchise has entered the already hot Charlotte Mexican food arena with guns blazing and a very youthful style to sell from.

Jonathan Frid as Barnabus Collins
Barnabas Collins was born the son of Joshua and Naomi Collins in 1770 (1012). As a young man, he became active in the family business traveling to China and the Caribbean. He developed close ties with his uncle, Jeremiah Collins (some sources indicate that Jeremiah and Barnabas were brothers due to the closeness of their ages, but this has since been proven erroneous). Other members of Barnabas' immediate family included his aunt, Abigail, his beloved sister, Sarah, and his cousins, Millicent Collins and Daniel Collins. As a child, Barnabas had developed a crush on his uncle's first wife, Laura Stockbridge Collins (760), who died suddenly in 1785 (741) (not knowing at the time that she was a Phoenix)
In the early 1790s, Barnabas traveled to the island of Martinique where he met Josette DuPres. The two instantly fell in love. During their courtship however, Barnabas had a one night stand with Josette's maidservant, Angelique Bouchard because he was not certain that Josette felt the same way as he (368/369). Angelique fell obsessively in love with Barnabas, but Barnabas spurned her affection – an act that would have disastrous consequences in Barnabas' future (368/369). Barnabas asked Josette to marry him and the two arranged for the wedding to take place at the family estate known as Collinwood (Note: In the future, this version of Collinwood will come to be known as the Old House). Barnabas returned to Collinsport to inform his family while Josette returned to her home in France to collect her belongings and family.
The Witch
In the winter of 1795, Barnabas met Victoria Winters, who travelled back in time via a séance and traded places with Phyllis Wick, a young lady about to arrive at Collinwood to be the governess of Barnabas' sister, Sarah. The fantastic time-space transposition occured at the moment of an unfortunate carriage crash transporting Miss Wick to Collinwood. Wick was simultaneously sent to 1967 Collinwood, where time literally stopped during the séance. What Barnabas or any of the Collins family didn't realize is that Victoria was from the year 1967 (366). Although some members of the Collins family would later suspect Victoria of being a witch, Barnabas was one of several Collins family members who actually liked this confused and mysterious girl and her fantastic claims of being from the future. Unable to make logical sense of the present circumstances, Victoria was nevertheless installed as Sarah's governess by the family patriarch, Joshua Collins.
Within a few days time, Josette and her family, the CountessNatalie DuPres and her brother Andre DuPres arrived at Collinwood. First, Josette's aunt, Countess Natalie DuPresarrived with her servant, Angelique. The Countess was quite unaware of the woman's indiscretions with her Barnabas (368/369). Angelique pleaded with Barnabas to abandon Josette and marry her instead, but Barnabas was adamant and completely dismissed Angelique (368/369). One of the Countess' favorite pastimes was reading the tarot and she saw that her niece was safe, as long as she was at sea, but the cards showed that once she was on land, a "wicked woman" would prove to be her enemy. Many people thought this was a reference to Victoria Winters, when it was, in fact, a reference to Angelique. Josette arrived safely soon after.
What Barnabas didn't know at this time, was that his jilted lover was actually a powerful witch. Enraged by his behavior, Angelique used her magic to choke Barnabas Collins, forcing him to fall gravely ill (370-371). When this failed to force Barnabas to abandon Josette, Angelique used her power to make Josette fall in love with Jeremiah Collins (374). She used the same magic on Jeremiah and before long, Josette abandoned Barnabas to marry his uncle instead (382). Barnabas was furious and challenged Jeremiah to a duel. Angelique secretly supplied Barnabas with a good luck charm that protected him, and Barnabas dealt Jeremiah a fatal wound (383-384, 391).
After the death of Jeremiah, Sarah fell mysteriously ill. Angelique claimed to know a "herbal" remedy for her illness and used this to coerce Barnabas into marrying her (397). Joshua disowned Barnabas over this, but his mother, Naomi, knowing nothing of the nature of Barnabas' marriage and wanted nothing more than for Barnabas to be happy, gave him the Old House as a wedding gift (395), much to Joshua's consternation. On their wedding night, Barnabas learned of Angelique's true nature. He discovered that she was the secret cause of so much misery at Collinwood. Barnabas tried to kill Angelique, but she miraculously survived the gunshot wound. Believing she was dying, however, she cursed him, telling him that he would never rest and that whomever loved him would die. A large bat then attacked him (405). Despite desperate efforts to save him - including by a repentant Angelique - Barnabas soon died of what his doctor thought was plague (409).
Return from Death
Secretly buried in a hidden room of the family mausoleum at Eagle Hill Cemetery on his father's orders because of this belief, Barnabas woke to find Angelique about to drive a stake through his heart. After she confirmed that he had become one of the living dead who could only walk at night, he remembered the other part of the curse - that all who loved him would die. Thinking Angelique wanted to get rid of the curse because she knew she would be its first victim, strangled her. However, after attacking his first victim (an unknown villager) Barnabas began to regret killing his wife, wishing she had managed to destroy him instead (411).
By 1796, Barnabas continued to plague the town of Collinsport, feeding indiscriminately off various women. Several people, including his own mother and father, learned about Barnabas' resurrection and his true nature. He made enemies as well, including the opportunistic Nathan Forbes, and the puritanical Reverend Trask.
Reverend Trask, convinced that Victoria Winters was the witch who had been plaguing Collinsport over the past winter, was determined to see her hang at the gallows. Barnabas, aware of Angelique's true powers, knew that Vicki was innocent. He abducted Reverend Trask and forced him to write a letter proclaiming Victoria's innocence, before sealing him up inside a wall in the cellar of the Old House (442). This event would have dire ramifications for Barnabas in both the 19th and 20th centuries.
Joshua Collins was horrified to see what had become of his son. However, he did not have the strength to end Barnabas' life – even when Barnabas begged him to do so. At Barnabas' request, Joshua kept him secured in the tower room at the newly constructed Collinwood. However, his cousin Millicent Collins and mother Naomi both discovered Barnabas' great secret – a discovery that would lead to the insanity of the former and the suicide of the latter (457, 459). Joshua even went to the extraordinary lengths to study all he could about vampires, and with Countess DuPres, held a ceremony to summon assistance from the supernatural world. Bathia Mapes, a white witch, showed up at Collinwood (449) and attempted to cure Barnabas, but the sudden appearance of Naomi Collins caused her to lose concentration and she was consumed by supernatural flames (451).
Once again, Barnabas pleaded with Joshua to destroy him. Instead of killing him, Joshua had his loyal servant Ben Stokes seal Barnabas within his coffin in the secret room of the Collins family mausoleum. Joshua, Ben and Barnabas were the only ones still alive who were even aware of the existence of this hidden room, created to hide the family fortune during the Revolutionary War. He put a cross on the inside lid and secured the coffin with thick chains so that Barnabas would remain trapped for all time (460).
Later, Barnabas would travel back to 1796 and have a chance to redo the events which followed his mother's death. This time Nathan Forbes brought Countess DuPres to the mausoleum to kill Barnabas, but he was stopped by Stokes, who killed both Forbes and the Countess, leaving himself and Joshua Collins still the only remaining people who knew the Collins Family secret. Ben later recorded this information in a diary he took to his grave (quite literally) and Joshua passed the secret on to Daniel Collins, who then passed it to Edith Collins. The family secret went no further, as a time-travelling Barnabas arrived as Edith was dying and was the only one who heard her say it; unsurprisingly, he kept quiet
19th Century
Barnabas Collins spent the 19th century chained in his coffin. Only later when Barnabas traveled back to the past from 1969-1970 did he exist outside of his coffin in that century.
Following a disturbance in 1970 which led to the Destruction of Collinwood and the deaths of several family members, Julia Hoffman traveled back to 1840 via the Stairway into Time created by Quentin Collins I. When she arrived there, she released Barnabas from his coffin. Having never made it to 1967 where he met Julia, he did not recognize her and picked up where he left off when he was chained in the coffin in 1795. {C}Shortly after this, the Barnabas who existed in 1970 finally succeeded in possessing his 1840 body by use of the I Ching.
In 1840 Barnabas encountered the warlock Judah Zachary (working through Gerard Stiles' body) who was the so called 'son of Satan', and the one who originally bestowed powers on Angelique in 1692. After having her powers revoked by Judah, Angelique made an alliance with Barnabas and together they eventually defeated him, and in doing so averted the disaster in 1970. At this time Barnabas realized that he truly loved Angelique and he professed this to her, but she died from a gunshot wound inflicted byLamar Trask without hearing his eleventh hour declaration.
In 1969, Barnabas entered an I Ching trance in an attempt to contact the ghost of Quentin Collins, who had been terrorizing the family and had forced them to leave Collinwood. In doing so, Barnabas found himself chained in his coffin in 1897 (700, 701). Due to Barnabas' presence in 1897, Count Andreas Petofia rrived in Collinsport and eventually had a portrait painted of Quentin which made Quentin immortal. Thus, Quentin's ghost was not able to exist in the future, since he had never died in the first place. Quentin and Barnabas struck up a great friendship which would last at least until 1970.
While in 1897, Barnabas encountered Lady Kitty Hampshire, née Soames, who was the reincarnation of Josette (844). Kitty was engaged to Edward Collins, but broke off the engagement to marry Barnabas for reasons she did not completely understand. One night, at the Old House, Kitty found herself putting on Josette's wedding dress and disappeared into Josette's portrait, reemerging in 1795. Barnabas was able to follow her, and here he became the pawn of the Leviathans (886).
20th Century
In 1967, a man named Willie Loomis broke into the Collins mausoleum in search of the fabled Collins family jewels. He discovered the secret antechamber in the rear of the Collins Family mausoleum and released the chains binding Barnabas to his coffin. Barnabas rose from his coffin and attacked Willie, turning him into his personal slave (210).Barnabas donned modern clothing and introduced himself to the current family living at Collinwood. He claimed to be a descendant of the original Barnabas Collins who, said the family history, moved to England to sire a European branch of the family in the late 1700s. Although everyone at Collinwood were astonished by the similarities between he and the likeness of his ancestor, no one felt that Barnabas was anything other than what he claimed to be – a distant cousin come to visit his relatives after his own branch of the family died out (211-212). This was in fact the truth (Daniel Collins was Barnabas' cousin, not a sibling); his direct line really had died out - he simply neglected to say just when it had happened.
With the permission of the head of Collinwood, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Barnabas moved into the Old House. He revealed that Willie Loomis was now working for him as his personal handyman and assigned him the gargantuan task of returning the Old House to its former glory
A new Josette
Maggie Evans was a waitress who lived in a seaside cottage Collinsport Inn with her widowed father Sam Evans, an artist. Her mother had passed away when Maggie was a little girl. Maggie's father was a constant source of worry to her, as he had a drinking problem and had never gotten over his feud with the Collins family.
Her life changed forever when she was bitten by Barnabas (227), who saw her as the image of his long lost Josette (221). As a result of her loss of blood, Collinsport physician, Dr Woodard requested a blood transfusion to save her life (231). Later she was kidnapped by Barnabas, who tried (unsuccessfully) to brainwash her into believing herself to be Josette, intending to eventually transform her into his vampiric 'bride'. After attempting (and failing) to destroy Barnabas, Maggie was locked in a secret room, where she discovered a little girl playing with a ball and singing "London Bridge". She learned this was the ghost of Sarah Collins, Barnabas' beloved sister, and they became friends; Sarah later helped Maggie to escape (235-260).
After her escape, Dr Woodard sent her to Windcliff Sanitarium because she had lost her memory and mentally regressed to a child (261). There she was put into the care of Dr Julia Hoffman, a psychiatrist and doctor with knowledge of blood disorders. Doctors Woodard and Hoffman, together with Sam Evans and Joe Haskell, agreed to inform everyone in Collinsport that Maggie was dead, so that her mysterious captor would not seek her again (262).
Believing the report that Maggie had died, Barnabas decided to select another potential Josette. This time, however, he intended to be far less hasty than he had been with Maggie - this woman would be gradually manipulated into becoming his lost love. His choice: Victoria Winters (274). To begin his plan, he arranged a costume party at the Old House to celebrate its renovation, his guests attending as 18th-century ancestors; Victoria is "cast" as Josette. Barnabas, of course, would attend as his "namesake". Unfortunately the party didn't go quite as planned, with a spontaneous séance calling up Josette reliving her frantic flight to her death; Barnabas deliberately interrupted the seance to conceal his involvement, claiming he couldn't let her die again (281). He then made a peace offering to Victoria: Josette's music box, which quickly had the same mesmerising effect on her as it had had on Maggie. Before long, other Collinwood residents were expressing worry that Victoria was becoming obsessed with Josette.
The Serum
Dr Julia Hoffman realised while treating Maggie for her trauma that the likely culprit was Barnabas Collins. Suspecting Barnabas' true nature - but keeping it to herself - she had Dr Woodard arrange an introduction for her to the Collins family, posing as a family historian, in order to further investigate Maggie's case (284), and was allowed to stay at Collinwood. She then managed to sneak into the Old House one morning and find Barnabas resting in his coffin (289), before deliberately provoking the vampire to make a late-night visit the following evening to try and kill her for knowing too much (290).
Confronting Barnabas in her room, Julia managed to save herself by claiming that she might be able to cure him of his vampirism. Intrigued, Barnabas allowed her to start work, but was shocked to learn that Maggie Evans was still alive, albeit suffering traumatic amnesia; Julia offered to use her hypnotic skills to keep her patient from remembering in return for Barnabas' cooperation (291). This cooperation suffered when Maggie escaped from Windcliff and made her way back to Collinsport (294-295), and by Julia's attempts to keep Barnabas away from Victoria (especially after she became engaged to Burke Devlin) (301).
Increasingly desperate to win Victoria, Barnabas willingly submitted to Julia's experiments (302), but began feeling increasingly weak as the serum began to take effect (305). This weakness, however, did not suppress his vampiric powers, which he used to confront Dr Woodard when he stole Julia's journal and realized what Barnabas really was. To stop him revealing the truth, Barnabas killed the doctor with an injection that made it appear that he had suffered a fatal heart attack (341). He then forced Julia to accelerate his treatment in order to win Victoria, which Julia reluctantly agreed to (346), but doing so caused Barnabas's appearance to match his chronological age, turning him into an old man (347-348). He returned to his apparent age after attacking Carolyn (who had stumbled into the Old House cellar) (350-351), but this also reversed the effect of the serum, leaving him as he had been before the experiment started - fully vampiric.
Barnabas then used the mystical bond between himself and his victim Carolyn to use her as an instrument of his revenge against Julia, believing she had sabotaged the experiment for her own reasons. This campaign ended as he almost killed her before being stopped by the appearance of the ghost of his little sister Sarah (363-364) - the first time he had seen her since her death in 1795.
With Sarah now being revealed as a ghost, the Collins family decided to hold a séance to contact her and find out what she wanted - despite Barnabas' protests, fearing what might be revealed. As the séance progressed, Victoria was snatched through time and replaced by Sarah's governess
The First Cure
Like the rest of the participants in the séance, Barnabas was frozen in time until Victoria was thrust back to 1967 as she was being hanged (Phyllis Wick replacing her on the gallows) (461). Although her memories were damaged in the transfer, Barnabas was desperate to stop her revealing what had really happened and bit her (462), before arranging to take her away from Collinwood to marry (465). However, Vicki crashed the car upon seeing someone on the road who looked just like Peter Bradford, her lost love from 1795, leaving both herself and Barnabas in hospital (466).
Their doctor, Eric Lang, realised what Barnabas was (despite Julia's desperate attempts to hide the truth as dawn approached), and decided to try and cure him. Although he wasn't entirely sure how he managed it, Dr Lang managed to fully cure Barnabas, who gratefully vowed to help the doctor in the future (467).
Barnabas's prized possessions
There are several items of note that have always been very important to Barnabas Collins. Some of his prized possessions that he has owned or coveted over the years include:
- A silver handled Wolf's-head cane
- Black onyx, signet ring
- Portrait of Josette
- Josette's music box
- Portrait of Barnabas
- Portrait of Barnabas II
Barnabas's Known Victims
Jeremiah Collins is the only known victim who was killed prior to Barnabas becoming a vampire. It should also be noted that Barnabas shot and mortally wounded Angelique Bouchard Collins before becoming a Vampire, but due to her being immortal, she never died.
Willie Loomis is the only known victim to be bitten on the right wrist.
Characters in italics were bitten but not killed.

Barnabas proved himself to be a man of contradictions many times. Although capable of great kindness and foresight, he could also be vindictive and sufficiently passionate to commit severe blunders for purely emotional reasons, as well as to conceal his true identity and nature.Barnabas Collins to Barnabas Collins, as portrayed by Jonathan Frid His most complex emotional relationships were with Julia Hoffman and Angelique Collins. With both he was at various times a bitter enemy and a devoted friend. The former proved over time to be his greatest single ally. Yet although he was willing to go to extraordinary lengths on Julia's behalf, and clearly viewed her as his dearest friend (the order to kill her broke the hold the Leviathans had over his mind, for example), he never seemed to reciprocate her romantic feelings for him, although he did confess to Willie Loomis that he cared for Julia more than he appeared to (570) and threatened to destroy Angelique if she ever harmed Julia again. He inexplicably professed to love Angelique as she lay dying after she lifted the curse from him and gave herself up to save Quentin Collins, even though she had been both directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of most of his immediate family in 1795 (as well as himself).
However, in a TV Guide article written after the end of the series, head writer Sam Hall discussed the outline the show's finale would have taken had the cancellation notice not come through sooner than expected. The outlined plans involved Barnabas finally declaring his love to Julia after she nearly died treating him for an illness being suffered by Adam (and thus himself). After she (again) cured him of vampirism, the pair were married in Singapore, far away from Collinsport and the threat of the resurrected Angelique. In the 2003 audio play Return to Collinwood, this scenario was made "official", with Barnabas and Julia reported to be in the Far East on a spiritual retreat and unable (or perhaps unwilling) to return to Collinwood for the reunion that formed the core of the play.
bramwell collins
Bramwell Collins was the son of Barnabas and Josette Collins in the Parallel Time world. His marriage to Daphne Harridge was short lived (1238).
Bramwell returned to Collinsport with the hopes that his merchant ship would soon arrive and establish his fortune which he felt was necessary to win his beloved Catherine Harridge. He was unaware that Catherine was already betrothed to his cousin, Morgan Collins (1199). He met with Catherine secretly on a couple of occasions and she later became with child. (1202). When Morgan found out he had pursued Catherine, he challenged him to a duel. Bramwell, known to be an expert shot, refused to fire and was seriously wounded.
Bramwell's wounds were tended by Catherine's sister, Daphne, who proposed marriage to him. The two were soon married, but the revelation of Catherine's pregnancy posed serious problems. Daphne, feeling neglected by Bramwell, took ill and died, but before she did, she gave Bramwell and Catherine her blessing (1238).
Morgan, insanely jealous of Bramwell, threw Bramwell and Catherine into the Locked room when the final lottery was held (1243). There Bramwell and Catherine were able to defeat the ghost of Brutus Collins and end his curse. Bramwell killed Morgan in self defense and as the final episode ended we are told that Bramwell and Catherine were later married and were known to be one of the happiest couples alive (1245).
barnabus's last episode
A climactic night at Collinwood in 1840. For Valerie has saved Quentin and Desmond from the beheading, and Gerard has been killed. So Quentin and Daphne are free to leave Collinsport and start a new life. And Barnabas, moved by Valerie's willingness to incriminate herself in order to save his two friends, goes to the prison to tell her of his new feelings for her, but discovers she has been released, and so he hurries back to Collinwood for the most eventful meeting in his life.Angelique sits by the fire when Barnabas comes into the room and begins to tell her that he loves her, but they are interrupted by Lamar Trask, who yells that the judges were afraid to hold Angelique, then shoots her with a pistol.
Act I
Barnabas and Trask struggle for the gun, Barnabas declaring he should have killed Trask when he was walled up, but Barnabas breaks off the struggle when he hears Angelique moan his name. Barnabas calls for Julia and declares his love for her and tells her she must live, but she smiles and dies in his arms, the final victim of her own curse (402). Just then, Trask comes to and flees the room, scuffling with Barnabas in the foyer. Trask breaks free and escapes up the stairs where he finds a knife. Trask stabs Barnabas in the shoulder before Barnabas recovers the knife and mortally wounds Trask. But first, Trask runs into the East wing parlor where Barnabas watches him cross into Parallel Time. Before Trask dies, Barnabas sees the room shift back, and Trask disappears forever.
Act II
Barnabas makes his way back downstairs to the drawing room and Angelique's corpse where he confesses his eternal love to her. Julia walks into the room, so Barnabas tells her that she was the only woman he truly ever loved. Julia notices he is wounded and while tending to him, is told about Trask, then goes to get her medical bag. At Rose Cottage, Desmond frets, waiting for Leticia Faye. Flora tells him she will be there, then berates herself for allowing Gerard Stiles to fool her, after having always prided herself in being such a good judge of character. Desmond fears that Leticia will do something rash before she finds out he is free, but just then she comes home, and they embrace.
Act III
Flora excuses herself so the couple can be together. Leticia explains she went to the sea to cry, then heard the news of Quentin and Desmond's release on her way through town. Desmond tells her they are going to leave tonight for New York and be married. Back at Collinwood, Barnabas tells Julia and Professor Stokes that the police accepted his explanation for Angelique's death and she was to be buried in the family mausoleum. Stokes is anxious to get back to their own time, which is now 1971, via the Stairway into Time. He tells Barnabas that unless they go back, they will never know if they succeeded in preventing the Destruction of Collinwood along with Carolyn and Quentin's madness and the death of David Collins. Barnabas wonders what their visit has done to the future, and does not hear Desmond approach, overhearing them speak of 1971. Julia tells Desmond that they came from 1971 and Stokes explains that they came via Quentin's staircase, which must be destroyed after they return. Barnabas tells them he should stay behind, but Julia and Stokes will not hear of it. They agree to go up the stairs, even though they do not know when they will reappear. Desmond promises he and Leticia will stay until Valerie's funeral and his mother will take care of everything.
Later, at the staircase, Desmond says he cannot believe that the staircase works, nor that the East Wing Parlor leads to another band of time, but Barnabas warns him that if Trask should escape somehow, he will come back and try to kill him. Desmond swears he will destroy the stairs and tell no one of their power except Leticia and Quentin. The group bids Desmond farewell and goes up the stairs and through the door.
Act IV
The trio comes through the door and into the hallway, seeing electric lights and that the house is not burned. Julia declares they have saved Collinwood. Two hours later, after having put on their 20th century clothes, they wait in the drawing room, but no one has shown up. Stokes says the refridgerator is full, which must be a good sign, and Julia delights in the comfort of her normal clothing, and there are no signs that the ghosts of Gerard and Daphne were ever there. Just then Elizabeth walks in, chiding them for being so late for the opening of the Historical Center. She only saw them because she came back to get Roger's speech. They question Elizabeth about David, Hallie, Quentin and Carolyn, and Elizabeth shrugs it off saying of course they are at the Center. One their way out the door, Elizabeth tells Stokes that she is donating a journal by an ancestor of hers, Flora Collins, who she had never heard of before, a writer of many novels and wonders if she can find any of them. Barnabas muses to Julia privately that Desmond has probably destroyed the staircase by now and Julia says they will never forget any of the people they met in 1840.
Back in 1840, Desmond is chopping up the staircase and wondering if the trio made it back to their own time. In the drawing room, Leticia paces the floor when Desmond comes in and tells her he wants to take her to a room in the East wing where something may be happening. He has obviously told her about Valerie and Trask and the parallel time band when they get to the parlor. Desmond opens the door and they see the room change. They see Trask dying and calling for help. They see Julia Collins enter the room, look briefly at the body, and call for Flora. Julia ask Flora if she has ever seen him before and Flora answer "It has finally happened. What we feared, what we dreaded". Julia shushes her and closes the door. Julia tells Flora no one must know, but Flora fears everyone will know. Julia thinks she hears someone outside, but when she reopens the doors, no one is there. She tells Flora they must get rid of the body. Several hours later, Melanie Collins runs into the room in a panic calling for Flora, saying her father is dying. Julia looks somber, saying this means the lottery will happen again, soon.

It was only days ago that liberal leaders contacted the FBI Director and President Obama about the urgency to end this standoff.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown contacted President both leaders and asked "for a stronger federal response to the armed occupiers", this was 3 days ago.
She further stated "It is absolutely unacceptable for this to continue"
Furthermore, these facts are already being purged from the internet but we were able to pull them up on the internet archive site.
via WebArchive since the original article was taken down:
Gov. Kate Brown talked Wednesday with the director of the FBI and wrote letters that same day to President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch about potential ways out of the armed occupation in Eastern Oregon.
Brown briefed the president on conversations she had with federal officials, telling them the occupation must end "peacefully and without further delay from federal law enforcement."
The letters, along with a strong statement she made during a brief press conference Wednesday, mark a new public approach from the governor, who called for a stronger federal response to the armed occupiers who, have been all but free to enter and leave the federal facility they've controlled since Jan. 2.
"Because this occupation has occurred on federal land, it is appropriate that the FBI and other federal law enforcement entities are the leaders on any response to it," Brown wrote to Lynch and James Comey, the FBI director. "We appreciate the recognition of their responsibility in this situation."
"However, for the citizens of Harney County and indeed all Oregonians, I must insist on a swift resolution to this matter."

As report from KOIN6:
Gov. Kate Brown said Oregon officials are cooperating with federal authorities about the militia standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, but re-iterated her belief it's time for the occupation to end.
"It is absolutely unacceptable for this to continue," the governor said in a one-on-one interview with KOIN 6 News. "The very fabric of the Burns community is being ripped apart by this occupation."
The Ammon Bundy-led militia took over the federal facility on January 2 in what they say is a constitutional and jurisdictional fight with the federal government over land control.
But the governor said it's gone on long enough.
"The occupation has been intolerable for the residents of Harney County," Brown said.
