York County's plan to borrow nearly $90 million for public building improvements and issue a small tax increase has earned support from an unlikely group of political observers.
The leaders of GPS Conservatives for Action – a local political action committee generally opposed to tax increases and higher government debt – said Thursday they're asking York County residents to vote "yes" in a Nov. 3 bond referendum. County officials say the money is needed to pay for large, and in most cases, overdue facility upgrades and new construction.
The main projects are:
▪ A new estimated $20.7 million county Family Court building in Rock Hill
▪ Millions of dollars of renovations to government offices located on Heckle Boulevard in Rock Hill, and courtroom and sheriff's office located in York
▪ A new recycling center and other public works facility upgrades totaling more than $22 million
▪ Nearly $2.7 million to improve existing magistrate court offices in Fort Mill and Clover
If approved, York County would raise taxes to pay back the debt. The increase on an average $100,000 home would be $2.30 monthly.
Proponents of the borrowing plan point to security concerns in county courtrooms, crowding and limited storage space at various government offices, and the ongoing struggle to keep pace with York County's growing population. The proposed improvements are largely located in buildings where residents go for direct county services.
S.C. law only requires a bond referendum if York County wants to borrow more than 8% of the assessed value of property in its tax base. Without approval from voters, county officials could borrow at least $40 million.
Paul Anderko, of GPS Conservatives, said many people in his organization understand the need for major upgrades, which necessitates major borrowing and spending. Still, he said, the group spent months before deciding to support the Nov. 3 bond referendum.
Some people still aren't convinced, Anderko said, but he added that most in his group don't want the county to pursue separate building projects by using cash reserves or savings without having to put the issue to a vote.
Many GPS Conservative members believe York County leaders, including past York County Council members, should have addressed capital improvement needs years ago, Anderko said. Even county officials have acknowledged York County is nearly 15 years behind its building needs.
York County officials tried in 2006 to earn voter approval on a $75 million bond referendum that would have addressed many facility problems listed on the current proposal. Residents voted down the plan by nearly a 2-1 margin.
The earlier bond referendum included renovation costs for the county courthouse in downtown York. That project has since been funded without new debt.
Since then, county leaders have improved the way they track facility needs. An outside consultant now manages project progress, evaluates current facilities and helps keep costs within budget.
One factor that delayed the county's bond referendum effort last year was public reaction to the possibility of an eastern York County justice center that would include a police booking facility and temporary holding jail cells. Sheriff Bruce Bryant has stressed the need for an office located somewhere around Rock Hill, Fort Mill or Tega Cay, where nearly one-third of his deputies make arrests.
That facility is not included in the list of projects proposed in the Nov. 3 bond referendum.
Previously, York County has borrowed money to pay for renovations at the Moss Justice Detention Center in York, where the sheriff's office, the county prison, and criminal courts are housed. That money was borrowed without a bond referendum.
State law only requires a bond referendum if a county or city is borrowing more than 8 percent of the assessed value of property in its tax base. Without approval from voters, York County officials could vote to borrow at least $40 million for capital projects.
Holding leaders 'accountable'
Anderko says it's clear York County needs to act in a big way to meet its facility needs.
Before throwing support behind the bond referendum, Anderko and other GPS Conservative members toured some of the buildings and sites targeted for investments under the borrowing plan. The walk-through was "eye-opening," Anderko said, as he saw for himself what many have called antiquated facilities, cramped quarters for government workers, and security flaws in old buildings.
York County's recycling center, especially, was a "mind-boggling" run-down site, Anderko said.
The tour convinced Anderko of the need for improvements, he said, but also reignited his frustration that York County leaders haven't acted sooner, calling it an "unacceptable failure."
Now, Anderko says he and others plan to watch the county's progress closely if voters approve the bond referendum. The group intends to ask for quarterly project updates, he said, and keep in contact with York County's manager and elected officials on the County Council.
If project costs exceed budgets or miss deadlines, Anderko said the GPS Conservatives intend to hold the council "accountable come Election Day."

The two guards that had just moved over looked a bit worried, like saying anything was going to get them in trouble, while the the two still guards retained a stoic air. Pretty soon, no one could ignore the thumping, almost stomping footfalls that came closer and closer to the door. The noise ceased as it sounded like it was right outside of the room, and the two more emotionally tense guards relaxed visably.
Only to be startled as the door slammed open, only barely missing the guard that had asked to move. There was a secondary loud noise as the handle of the door smashed into the wall, which was bound to hastily wrap up any conversation that was going on.
A look out the door showed that the implement used to open it was the bottom side of a booted foot, which was now stepping into the cramped space. The tails of a long, maroon coat flicked back in adherence to physics as a blond woman- ranking in at around five feet- walked to the side of the table opposite of the graduates. Eyes closed, she took a controlled, thought-gathering breath, and put her hands on the table, leaning forward a bit. Her eyes opened to reveal almost unnaturally green irises that seemed to assess every single person they looked at.
"Sorry I'm late, kiddos," the woman said as she raised an eyebrow at all of them. "I only just now got the memo to get here. I take it y'all all know who I am?"
Pfft. 'Did you all know who she was.' Of course you did. Not only did you spend a small amount of time during your studies going over who this woman was and what her job was, but she was also a global cultural icon. Hell, for the more fashionably-minded people in the room, you probably can even recall all the trends that started up in her name.
But that was beside the point. This lady was a woman by the name of Moriah "Sanguine" Stockton, and she was the head of global security. If things ever got too crazy, or too gory, or too evil, she was called; this shorter-than-expected woman who, just like the photos in the book depicted, wore a red rose clipped into her hair just a few centimeters above her left ear.
... Actually, the more you looked at her, the more you began to realize that, aside from a more modest garb, miss Stockton looked identical to the photo of her in your textbooks, which were printed 10 years ago. Meaning that the photo was probably older than that.
Nonetheless, those characteristic bright green eyes scanned over her audience as Moriah nodded. "Good. Ya'll seem to have payed attention in class. Now, for the more immediate question- do you know why you're here?"

Handcrafted Artisan soaps & Sea Salt Spa Soaps handcrafted in small batches using all-natural ingredients, butters, herbs and spices in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
Gardener's Soap
Gardener's Soap
I created this soap after a long day of weeding the flower beds ... three washes with regular soap and my hands were still dirty. So I set out to create a soap that would take off the dirt and still leave my hands soft. I also bought gardening gloves. ;-)
Our Vermont Gardener's Soap does the trick and then some. We included ground coffee beans for excellent scrubbing action and added nourishing oils & fats that don't dry out tired hands. Then we rounded it off by scenting it with refreshing Thyme and Rosemary Essential Oils.
All of our products are: Natural * Eco Friendly * Paraben Free * Decadent * Handmade in Vermont using solar power
This soap is made with lard & tallow (beef and pig fat) - which doesn't quite sound that sexy but both make for amazing soap with their skin friendly properties. Here's a cool article that explains why using lard/tallow just makes sense and helps reduce waste.
Ingredients: Adeps Suillus (lard), Sodium TallowateAdeps Bovis (beef tallow), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oil, Coffea Arabica (Coffee), ground, aqua (water), Sodium Hydroxide*
We did, however, listen to our vegan friends and created an equally mild, skin loving and all around awesome vegan version of this soap. Note that the lead time for this soap is 6 weeks to allow the soap time to cure & harden.
Every single one of our artisan soaps is handcrafted from scratch using our own recipes, made in small batches right here in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains.
We use only natural, skin-loving oils, fats and butters, organic whenever possible. At North Country Soapworks, we support fellow local businesses and try to source locally as much as we can. We only use pure essential oils, natural plant-based colorants, herbs and cosmetic grade clays. We never use premade soap bases, detergents, preservatives, sulfates, synthetic ingredients, mineral oils, micas, dioxides or any other synthetic garbage.
Each handmade bar may vary slightly in shape and color and vary in appearance from what you see on this page.
PLEASE NOTE: Handmade soap will last a long time if allowed to dry between uses. To extend your soap's life, use a draining soap dish and keep it away from direct streams of water.
*Lye is used to turn oils into soap - this process is called saponification. All soaps are made with lye (if they're not made with lye, they're not "soap" but technically a "detergent"). No lye remains in the final end product.

Columbine Survivor Colorado State Rep Pushes Bill To Enhance School Safety
Patrick Neville knows what it's like to lose friends and classmates in a school shooting. The Colorado House Minority Leader was a sophomore at Columbine High School in 1999. Neville, a Republican, is pushing a bill to enhance school safety. His solution is just the opposite of gun control.
Every year since 2014, Rep Neville has introduced a bill to end gun restrictions on school campuses. "Time and time again we point to the one common theme with mass shootings, they occur in gun-free zones," he told The Washington Times.
Naturally, Democrats in the Colorado legislature defeat the bill every time Neville brings it up for a vote. Likely because it doesn't fit with the left's agenda to dismantle the 2nd Amendment. You see, it's not really about the safety of children.
It's all about control: people control.
Last week's tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida renewed the calls for gun control. However, for lawmakers like Neville, that isn't a viable answer. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, like Nikolas Cruz, killed students unabated.
In other words, the only ones with guns were the bad guys.
When you think about it, you realize that is the case with most mass shootings. Society is more than willing to protect money, politicians, celebrities, and businesses with guns. So why not the children?
Why must they spend most of their time in gun-free zones?
Logic-Free Zones?
As the law stands now, Colorado conceal-carry permit holders can bring guns onto school property. But they must be kept inside a locked vehicle which obviously makes the weapon far-less useful in a mass shooting situation.
According to Neville, the purpose of his legislation is simple. In every circumstance, law-abiding citizens should have the right "to defend themselves and most importantly our children from the worst-case scenarios."
Without a doubt, he is right. And anyone who thinks gun-free zones aren't a problem, should consider this question: why didn't these killers ambushing law enforcement just perpetrate an attack at the police station?

The National Youth Organiser of the Convention Peoples' Party Ernesto Yeboah is a target for suspension following a petition to the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) demanding investigations into a gift to President John Mahama.
CPP flagbearer Ivor Greenstreet during an IEA Evening Encounters for Presidential candidates hinted Ernesto Yeboah could be suspended for acting alone on the matter.
Ernesto Yeboah leads the CPP Youth League, which has accused President John Mahama of conflict of interest after Joy News investigations revealed that the President received a Ford Expedition from a Burkinabe contractor in 2012.
Two more petitions from other groups have landed at CHRAJ over the controversial gift.
The CPP Youth League's position is at variance with the position of the party's flagbearer Ivor Greenstreet who defended President Mahama in a Joy News interview.
According to him "it doesn't "feel wrong" for the president to be accepting gifts.
At an IEA Evening Encounters for Presidential candidates, Ivor Greenstreet said Ernesto Yeboah's condemnation was made in his individual capacity. "The party itself has not come out to state a specific position".
Ivor Greenstreet said a one-time National Youth Organiser James Kwabena Bonfeh Jnr popularly known as 'Kabilla', run into serious problems with the party for his individual stance on the STX housing deal.
James Bomfeh in 2010 filed a writ at the Supreme Court in his private capacity to restrain Parliament and the Attorney-General from considering the controversial Supplier's Credit Agreement between STX Korea and the Government of Ghana for the provision of some 30,000 housing units.
The CPP flagbearer also noted that he was once suspended for a year for taking an unendorsed position.
Insiders in the party have revealed that there are plans to hold a Central Committee meeting to discuss punitive actions against the CPP National Youth Organiser.
Meanwhile, the CPP UK-Ireland branch is backing the National Youth Organiser for leading a campaign to get the President investigated.
The international branch of the party has gotten wind of the moves to suspend Ernesto Yeboah and is prevailing on the flagbearer to desist from any such attempts, insiders say.

A Surprisingly Interesting (and slightly flawed) ride. (spoilers)
I'm usually not big into horror stuff. For a really long time, there were only two horror themed works that I found both legitimately creepy, yet compelling enough to want to come back to. This game is now the third. The horror works because it starts off subtlety. At first it seems normal, but then hints begin to emerge that things aren't quite right. Then you hit the game's Wham Episode ([[spoilers: Sayori's suicide]]) and things go completely sideways. Even from that point on, the horror elements are balanced between subtle uncanniness and jump scares.
What makes this game compelling is the fact that it has a solid, well-developed cast. All four of the girls gain a surprising amount of depth for such a short game, and what interactions we get in the brief time we see them are surprisingly complex and interesting. It's a testament to the game's writing that it can cram so much development into the game without feeling forced. Even Monika, the source of most of the game's nasty bits ends up ultimately being sympathetic, though obviously not completely justified in her actions. All of the girls' struggles feel realistic at least until Monika starts exaggerating them, and it adds an additional layer of weirdness to Act 2, when the girls realize something is wrong, but are powerless to deal with it.
That isn't to say that the game doesn't have issues. The main nitpick I have with it is that it feels like two separate games that were glued together, and the connection isn't entirely smooth. The first Act is mostly mundane and emotionally driven, ending with a surprisingly realistic and sobering look at clinical depression and the consequences. The issue is that immediately after this point, the game takes a bit of a turn and from that point on the focus shifts to the meta elements of the game. The emotional elements are still there, but take a backseat to the postmodernism. The meta aspects are well executed, but it really makes me wish that Yuri's self-harm and Natsuki's abusive home life would get the same sort of treatment as Sayori's depression. As it is, those elements feel a bit glossed over.
The disconnect isn't bad enough to keep the game from being a surprisingly meaningful experience, but it also feels like there are two games in here that could've each been excellent on their own.
Spoilers I had a slightly different experience. There's a line early on from Yuri about an author taking advantage of your lack of imanination to completely throw you for a loop. I felt that everything the game did was to throw me off. Thinking the twist of the game was the underlined issues of the girls; that Yuri, like Sayori had depression (instead of a fetish); that Monika followed the theme of troubled girls (her always being late for club meetings); that the game was breaking down on it's down without rhyme or reason, just for the sake of being scary. Even at the end with Monika's bait and switch jumpscare.
I do wish there was a way to follow a different order and be able to look into Yuri and Natsuki's depts without all the weirdness instead of always being Sayori.

By DOUG SCHMITZ
Iowa Correspondent
AMES, Iowa Iowa State University researchers have discovered a unique way to use ultraviolet (UV) light to neutralize odors emanating from livestock facilities.
We have shown that generic UV light works very well up to a 100 percent reduction of these key gases, said Jacek Koziel, ISU associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering.
Koziel and his team are using black light to help neutralize the volatile components that make up objectionable odors. Shined on surfaces coated with a thin layer of titanium dioxide, their research discovered the black light initiates photocatalytic reactions found to significantly reduce several odorous chemicals drifting downwind from livestock operations.
The June 10 issue of the journal Atmosphere describes the work in the lab that has led to a test in an Iowa swine facility. The paper, Mitigation of Livestock Odors Using Black Light and a New Titanium Dioxide-Based Catalyst: Proof-of-Concept online at www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/8/6/103 documents odor reductions from 40-100 percent.
Since joining the ISU agricultural and biosystems engineering faculty in 2004, Koziel has been studying livestock odor and air quality issues. About 10 years ago, he tested using UV light to break down compounds that are typically found in swine and poultry odors.
About two years ago, the Indiana Soybean Alliance funded a project to look at the use of black light, a milder version of UV light that is closer to visible light. Being less toxic, the black lights would mean fewer concerns about using it in the presence of the livestock and people working in the facilities.
According to Koziel and his team, a new type of the titanium dioxide (a powdery substance that is used as a whitener in a variety of products, including toothpaste) photocatalytic coating compensates for the lack of UV energy in the black lights. The coating is made by PURETi Group, LLC, which is the projects industrial partner.
ISU researchers found the dust thats prevalent in livestock facilities and accumulates on surfaces doesnt affect its effectiveness in the lab.
The pilot-scale research project, which was just finished, decreased odor emissions by 16 percent, while also reducing a key signature gas responsible for the characteristic downwind odor emissions by 22 percent, Koziel explained. An unexpected result was a 9 percent reduction in nitrous oxide, a major greenhouse gas.
For the next stage of research, Koziel said the black light will be directed on the ceilings and upper portions of walls, coated with titanium dioxide, inside livestock buildings. He added a similar setup was tested by a research group in Italy, and that small-scale study, which used regular UV light, showed the pigs had greater feed efficiency.
If that holds true and can be replicated, thats an awesome potential finding for the swine industry, he noted.
Ron Birkenholz, Iowa Pork Producers Assoc. director of communications, said if researchers can actually find a way to reduce odors from hog barns using black lights and a catalyst, they have the industrys attention.
If a product actually makes it to the marketplace, and is proven to be efficient and effective without being cost-prohibitive, he said, I think the industry will embrace it. The industry is continually looking for ways to improve, be more efficient and productive, and be better neighbors. This could potentially make pig farmers more neighborly.
Koziel is hopeful the tests conducted in an actual swine facility in northeastern Iowa will continue to be promising. It is necessary to study the system outside the lab because conditions, such as air movement, are highly variable in livestock facilities.

Author's Note: I would like to dedicate this story to Kelly on AO3 whose encouragement sparked a few ideas to continue this story and in my humble opinion, made it so much better. I can't claim any great knowledge of history and mythology but I did try my best and basically, I just wanted this story to be fun. Thank you again, Kelly, I hope the remainder of this story reflects the inspiration that you gave me. :)
Chapter 2: When Danger Looms
Standing atop the hill at the edge of the latest town, a young man sports a smile of relief at having finally reached his destination. He takes in a deep breath and allows his gaze to leisurely travel over the neighboring hillsides and savors the moment to appreciate how far he has come in his journey and his first mission as The Librarian. "At least it's not as hot as Alexandria." His gaze drops to the valley below and his eyes suddenly widen in shock as he spies a woman surrounded by four men. Rushing down the hillside to come to her aid, his hand reaches for a sword that he remembers that he no longer has but doesn't allow that fact to deter him. He has taken an oath to help others, regardless of the risk to himself, and if that particular risk includes young, beautiful women in distress…well, that's only part of the fun.
His face set with determination, he quickly enters the fray and narrowly misses a strike of the sword from one of the attackers. Stepping back to avoid the hit, he stumbles into one of the men who trips over him and who is then instantly elbowed in the back of the head by the young woman, successfully rendering him unconscious. "Don't worry," he calls out to her, "I'm here to help!"
The woman is silent at first as she is busy holding off one man by locking swords while dropping another by kicking him in an extremely sensitive region of his anatomy. "Move out of the way, I can take care of them on my own!"
He's about to ignore her and jump back in again when he glances down at the man on the ground clutching himself while writhing around in agony and thinks better of it. Before taking a seat on a large boulder underneath an apple tree, he plucks an apple off of a low hanging branch and starts eating it. He normally wouldn't sit by and watch a woman fight off a group of men but she seemed more than capable of taking care of them on her own and he had missed breakfast after all.
He watches in awe as she counteracts their every move while they remain unable to block her own. The beauty of Cleopatra and the skills of the fiercest gladiator and mmmm, this apple is delicious. His attention is immediately drawn back to the fighting when the two remaining men lunge forward simultaneously.
Her response is to bring her sword down to block one of them and then slightly changing her stance so that she can deliver a hard punch directly to the other man's face, knocking him out completely. Using her leverage to push the other man away from her, she watches in disdain as he begins to swing his sword in a windmill motion, an obvious tactic of trying to intimidate her with his swordsmanship as he moves closer to her. All flash and no substance, she muses before circling him to find her opening and speedily raise up her sword to hit him hard with the flat of her blade, watching in supreme satisfaction as he crumples to the ground. When the man who is still moaning in pain makes a half-hearted attempt to rise, she walks over and brings the hilt of her sword down onto his head ensuring that this time, he stays down.
Clap, clap, clap! The young man stands up and applauds the woman as he waves the hand holding the apple to indicate the unconscious men. "That was quite a feat! I had intended to offer my assistance but it obviously wasn't necessary." He offers her a congratulatory grin. "Your fighting skills are most impressive."
She gives a snort of derision. "Around here, they're not considered so much as impressive as they are a rite of passage." She looks at him curiously. "Just who are you, anyway?"
"I'm Yahu-, " he cuts himself off as he reflects on his new life and ponders on the man he was told that he was meant to become.
"You, who, what?" she asks impatiently.
"I'm sorry," he apologizes for his momentary distraction. "My name is Judson."
"Judson," she repeats to him, watching him nod curtly and with pride despite his earlier hesitation. "Are you sure about that?"
"I am now," he affirms with a resolution that even she can't doubt.
Still not ready to let her guard down, she continues to keep him in her peripheral vision as she gathers the fallen swords and deposits them through the crack of the apple tree that he had been sitting under. When she catches him watching her, she barks, "What?"
His brow wrinkles in confusion. "You're…," he looks over to the men on the ground and then back to the tree, "you're stealing from the thieves?"
She stares back at him with a look that clearly states that she thinks that he's a moron before bending down to retrieve eight daggers along with a quiver and bow. Tucking the daggers beneath her belt and taking hold of the bow with one hand while hoisting the quiver around her shoulder, she explains, "In case you haven't noticed, I was just attacked by these four gentlemen that you are so concerned about. And since not everyone is blessed with the ability to fight, I'm taking their weapons off of them in order to give someone else a fighting chance. Besides, the swords and daggers that I'm storing will be given to families who can't afford their own weapons to defend themselves." She drops the remaining daggers through the tree and takes note of his inquiring stare directed to the weapons that she kept for herself. "Let's just say that I believe that it's time that they gave back to the community." Her flippant quip earns her a smile and then a blush when she eyes him up and down. "You're not from around here or I would have noticed you before." She gives him a cheeky grin. "So what brings a nice boy like you to a place like this?"
"I've recently accepted a prestigious position that has brought me here for a very specific purpose," he declares enigmatically as he straightens himself to his full height. "I'm The Librarian."
She stares back at him blankly. "So, you're a librarian."
"No…no," he shuffles his feet as he attempts to imbue his tone with the importance of his position. "I'm The Librarian."
"Oh, I see," she replies blithely, "so that must make me The Local Serving Wench."
He releases a soft chuckle before he realizes that she's not joking. "No, I really am The Librarian, from The Library in Alexandria. They've sent me on a mission that has brought me to your province. Have you happened to come across any strangers bearing tattoos of a snake? They may have mentioned a Serpent Brotherhood."
"Who are they," she questions interestedly, "some fanatics who worship Medusa?"
"Not quite," he denies with a small shake of his head. "They are a group of malevolent men who are searching for Arachne."
"What do they want with her?" she asks in a more serious tone, quickly grasping that this man was not the mere fool that she had first thought him to be.
"She recently acquired the Fates' tapestry and is planning to use her loom to reweave it and regain her human appearance." He's slightly taken aback when his answer seems to mollify her.
"Well, I can't fault her for that. To be fair, I think that she has more than paid for her crime of boasting that her weaving skills outshone those of Athena." She shakes her head sadly. "The gods can be so harsh in their judgments."
"And I agree, but Arachne isn't remorseful. In truth, she is full more of vengeance than any other emotion." The urgency of the situation is laced throughout his tone. "She is determined to take revenge on Athena for cursing her as well as the enemies that she has made over the years of both warriors and villages."
She suddenly appears to take a greater interest in his story. "Then that would include my village as well. We're the only village who has been able to confine her to one area for any one great length of time."
"That's why I'm here," he explains earnestly, "The Library heard the news of Arachne being trapped in the caves near your village. Unfortunately, so has the Serpent Brotherhood," he notes with a grimace. "It's crucial that I retrieve the tapestry before she unravels the deeds of good men and women and history as well, all for the sake of revenge." His eyes alight with fierce determination. "I can't allow that to happen."
"You mean that we can't allow that to happen." She interrupts him when he starts to argue. "This is my home and my people that I have known all of my life. You can't expect me to ignore this now that I know."
He wears a sad smile. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
"Ignorance will have to be blissful some other time. Besides," she notes while giving him a quick once-over, "you're going to need my help. I know where to find Arachne, I'm willing and I'm able to fight while all you have is a cloth sack, a bedroll and a charming grin." He smiles brightly at the last bit of her assessment. "That doesn't work on me." She repeatedly jabs him in the chest to emphasize each word. "You need me."
He leans away from her with a gulp. "Yes, you've made your point." He closes his eyes as he gathers his thoughts and swallows his pride. "I would imagine that a Librarian would not require assistance very often but as new as I am to this position, even I know that this is definitely one of those times. I do so happen to find myself in need of your help and if you are indeed so willing then I would be honored for you to join me." He opens his eyes, not to view her humble acceptance but to stare off in shock as he sees her stalking ahead of him and already halfway across the field.
"Are you coming or not?" she yells without even looking back at him.
He blows out a puff of air in frustration. "Right," he mutters under his breath before running after her. "Coming!" Once he catches up to her, he slows down his pace to match her stride. "If you don't mind my asking, seeing as we are going to be working together, may I at least have the privilege of knowing your name?"
She struggles to stamp down a smile in response to his beseeching gaze. "My name is Charlenestia."
"That a lovely name, although most unusual for this area, isn't it?" he quizzes, always eager to learn another fact or point of interest.
"It's a combination of an old family name and that of the goddess Hestia. As farmers, my family has always had a strong belief in hearth and home and so we have a tradition of combining our given names with those of the goddess for each female born into my family." She spares him a glance along with a small grin. "Most people around here just call me Charlene." She reaches out and directs him away from a hole in the ground. "Tell me about this Library that you work in, I've never known a library that sends their employees out on missions."
Judson's face instantly morphs into one of excitement. "The Library is the most amazing place in the entire world. Not only do they have a copy of every book ever written but they have the most incredible artifacts, ones with great power. That's actually the reason that there is a Librarian. The Library's sole existence is to find and preserve the knowledge and magic that would give the wrong sort unimaginable power." He suddenly stops talking so animatedly and looks miserable. "I wasn't supposed to tell you that," he confesses with a disheartened sigh. "You'll have to forgive me, I'm still new at this."
"I never would have noticed," she replies, her voice completely deadpan. "Now, what exactly do you mean by the wrong sort?"
This time, it is his turn to stare at her as if she's not the sharpest dagger in the box. "The wrong sort…evildoers, villains, ne'er-do-wells…you know, bad guys!"
Charlene gradually slows her pace to a full stop. "And what makes your Library the right sort to hold all of that imaginable power?"
His answer is immediate, without any misdirection or hesitation. "Because we don't control the power, we contain it and we don't use it except in extreme emergencies…like this one. The Serpent Brotherhood is determined to conquer the known world while the Library is destined to protect it. I'm willing to give my life to keep the world safe, Charlene, I can't offer you any more assurance than that."
The sincerity of his words and gaze touch her heart in a way that she has long since forgotten. It was the part that used to allow her to be so open with people, the part that had allowed her to trust. He attempted to come to her aid when she was completely unknown to him but he has also spoken of having access to as well as seeking out great magic. Is this truly someone that I can trust? she wonders silently. Or is this simply magic at work? Moments pass as both her thoughts and gaze remain solely on him. She looks at him, this Librarian who is still more of a boy than a man, all gangly limbs with a hopeful expression and in him, she recognizes a kindred spirit. She sees someone who is trying to break free of the life that he was born into and instead is trying to create one that allows him to be who he was always meant to be. To Charlene, there was no higher aspiration and it was one that they both shared. And so in that moment, in that newly reawakened part of her heart, she knew without doubt that she could trust him.
"Alright," she proclaims resolutely as she once again stalks off in the direction of the caves, "let's go find Arachne."
"You trust me?" he asks in surprise, smiling widely when she answers in the affirmative. He trots along beside her excitedly and questions, "What was it that convinced you? Was it my heartfelt argument, my calm reasoning, my utter selflessness and willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice?"
She gave him that moron look again. "That and I doubt that you're smart enough to pull off something so evil of this magnitude."
"What? Of course I could, I'm The Librarian! I can accomplish anything that I set my mind to!" She shoots him a withering glare. "You know…if I was evil," he finishes, his voice barely discernible.
"I'm sure you could," she concedes with a condescending nod, "but why don't we leave that option behind us for now and you tell me about yourself? Convince me that I'm making the right choice."
"There's not much to tell, really. As I said, I recently obtained the position of The Librarian and following that, I boarded a ship in Alexandria that was delivering grain to this island." His expression reveals his weariness. "After that was a very, very, very long walk from the sea shore."
Knowing how far the nearest sea port is, she offers him a compassionate smile and a gentle tone. "I'm sure there must be more to your story than being an excellent hiker." Her gaze rests on his garments. "Since your post of Librarian is so recent, I'm assuming that your clothing isn't brand new and judging by the quality of the linen, you definitely weren't manual labor."
He grins in appreciation of her deductive reasoning. "No, I was a court scribe from a long line of court scribes." His countenance is downcast. "That was our family tradition."
"So then I can take it that you're educated?" she states more than inquires.
"Yes," he replies simply, with no trace of arrogance.
Instead of the sarcastic retort that he's expecting, she releases a wistful sigh. "I envy you."
"With all that you can do? Why would you? I yearn to have even a fraction of your fighting skill," he shares, his voice thick with longing.
"You could learn to fight easily enough, I could teach you," she remarks off-handedly.
He waggles his eyebrows at her. "I would love for you to teach me a few things."
"Careful, Judson," she warns good-naturedly, "class can be just as easily dismissed." She glances at the bag that's hanging off of his shoulder. "Speaking of fighting, do you even have any weapons in there?"
"I did have a flint axe but I lost it," he mentions casually as he avoids her gaze to study the landscape.
"Did you lose it in battle?" she asks, clearly impressed.
"No," he admits while still averting his eyes, "I lost it while gambling on the ship. Coincidentally, that's also how I lost my sword and other various weapons."
She chuckles softly and pats him on the back consolingly. "Don't worry, Judson, that scenario is a lot more common than you would think." Charlene glances at him curiously. "So, why did you leave the courts to work in The Library?"
His expression hardens as if reflecting a grave weight. "I wanted to do more with my life, to make a difference in…in the lives of others. Scribes assess taxes, keep records and court scribes document everything in a court case from the complaint, the testimony and the verdict." His gaze is both sad and defeated when he looks at her. "Verdicts aren't only monetary issues, scribes witness and document the punishments as well. And after bearing witness to executions that were carried out by decapitation, drowning or impalement, I was more than ready for a new career." He looks over to her for understanding which he readily receives. "I didn't want to just stand by and take an account of others' lives anymore, not when I was finally ready to account for my own." The memory of his next statement prompts a smile that is both wide and full of hope. "That's when a piece of papyrus appeared on my desk at home, it was an invitation to join The Library."
"And you just believed them when they told you that they find and store magic to keep it safe?" she questions skeptically.
"No, of course not," he hurriedly denies, "but I did believe them once they showed me the magic that they're protecting and I saw for myself its effects in the wrong hands." His tone is solemn as he explains, "I have seen a great many cruelties during my time as a scribe, but nothing in comparison to what magic could do in the wrong hands. That's when I knew that I had to help, that I needed to help, in any way that I could to stop these atrocities from ever happening again."
Charlene's countenance becomes one of admiration. "You're very fortunate to do something that you enjoy while making such a difference in people's lives." She sighs wistfully. "I would love to be able to do that."
"Have you ever considered leaving home and making a new start? I'm positive that a young woman with you confidence and assertiveness could easily find work."
"I tried that once, years ago, but apparently the other towns and larger cities were only interested in hiring me for one thing," she replies with a tight smile.
Judson offers a sympathetic sigh. "Let me guess, the type of work that only lasts for one night?" She merely nods in response. "I'm sorry, you deserve to be seen for your whole potential, not simply that of a courtesan."
Her eyebrows rise slightly in surprise. "Courtesans usually reside in the finest houses. How would someone who works in a library find entrance to such a place?"
The smile he bears reflects one carrying a secret, a very enjoyable secret judging by the size of his grin. "There's a reason that I was chosen to become The Librarian. You would be surprised at the many ways I know of to enter such forbidden places."
Charlene gives him an assessing glance before she quips, "Yes, and I'm sure the majority of them lead to maidens' bedchambers."
He chuckles softly as he reaches for his animal skin to take a drink, only to find it empty with the exception of a few drops of water leaking out the bottom. "I can't believe that this is already coming apart, I only bought this at the market three days ago!"
She plucks the animal skin from his grasp and examines it. "Oh dear, this is shoddy workmanship. This is exactly why I always create a bargaining scroll."
His gaze is perplexed. "A…a what?"
"A bargaining scroll, I create one for every transaction involving the purchase of goods. That way if the product fails then the vendor has to return my money."
"And if the vendor refuses to sign the scroll?" he counters with interest.
"Then there's no sale. If a craftsman is unable to stand by their work by attesting that with a simple agreement then I see no need to waste my time or hard-earned savings."
He stares off in consideration. "That's actually quite sensible."
"Of course it is," she remarks confidently, "that's how I know that I would make a fantastic financial advisor!"
"Is that something that you've studied for?" he asks curiously.
"I haven't been officially trained, but I'm very good with numbers and with my organizational skills, I could easily monitor the income and expenditures of a wealthy family or business. I cannot tell you how many times that I've seen costly mistakes that could have been so easily avoided if only for the advice of a good advisor." She scrunches up her face in disgust. "I hate that. I also know how to read, a rarity for the women on this island."
"I apologize if this sounds rude," he begins nervously, "but how did you learn to read? I have heard that it's quite uncommon for any woman to be so educated in Greece."
"My grandfather was a General in the army so he knew how to read and he made sure that every member in our family learned to read as well." The light in her eyes reflects her pride. "My father was a Hoplite, he was the one who trained me on how to fight. He didn't want to worry about leaving my mother and I alone whenever he was called away to fight." She flashes a warm smile. "It was his way of protecting us. And there are always travelers coming through the tavern who are less prejudiced about sharing knowledge with someone who dares to reach beyond her grasp." She places her hand on his back to push him down to avoid a low hanging branch. "I've lost count of how many nights' sleep I've lost reading borrowed books, Judson, and of how many hours I've dreamt of using the knowledge that I've acquired."
He shakes his head in amazement. "You are truly a remarkable young woman," he notes with approval. "If you ever decide to venture out on your own again, I would be honored to show you around Alexandria."
Charlene's gaze is skeptical. "Really? And what exactly is the going rate for Courtesans in Alexandria these days?"
He jerks back in shock. "What? No, no, that's not what I meant at all! Opportunities for women who seek education or employment are much greater in Alexandria than they are in Greece." As she is still eyeing him with disbelief, he confesses, "True, not many women move into high positions of power but there's still more of a chance for the life that you seek there than here."
"I'd have to think about it…" she offers but he can tell that she's giving it some serious consideration. She suddenly stops dead in her tracks and scans the area. "What happened here?"
They lock gazes for a moment before taking in the ravaged field lying before them, a field that was once rather lush and green but now only contains dried bits of plants. Judson bends over and inspects the dried leaves that crumble to dust when he gently rubs them between his fingers. "This is basil," he murmurs quietly.
"Does that matter?" she questions as she looks around trying to find what could have caused this.
He straightens up and dusts off his hands. "Basil leaves attract spiders and then the spiders drain the nutrients from them.
"Impossible, there's no way that a few spiders did all of this!" She turns to him for further explanation.
"No, not a few spiders," he agrees readily, "it would take thousands of them or about a hundred of them, I suppose, depending on their size. Do you realize what this means?" he questions excitedly as he takes hold of her hand and starts running towards the mountain ahead while dragging her behind him. "We're definitely heading in the right direction!"
Hours later as they trek up the mountainside with the day's heat bearing down on them, Judson longs for the cool water that he had poured into his animal skin earlier that morning. "Are you sure that we're on the right path?" he asks irritably.
"Well, I was assured by The Librarian," she snipes back at him, just as hot and tired as he is, "but besides that, this is the area that we confined her to and where she was seen last. And despite the absence of dying basil patches," she stops her tirade as her eyes widen at the sight of a dozen spiders the size of dinner plates running down the mountain towards them, "I'd have to say that we are definitely on the right path." Unable to locate an escape route, she withdraws two of the daggers and mentally prepares herself to fend off the oncoming wave of arachnids. "Any ideas?" she yells out over the sound of scuttling spiders.
"No need to worry," he shouts back encouragingly, "a good Librarian is always prepared for every situation!" He immediately reaches into his cloth sack and pulls out and old and worn book. Judson hurriedly flips through the pages and instantly lights up with satisfaction as he finds the passage that he's been searching for and begins chanting in an unknown language.
Without warning, a large expanse of diatomaceous earth appears out of nowhere and covers enough of the immediate area to separate them from the spiders. Judson moves closer to Charlene and takes hold of her elbow to slowly draw her back in case his plan doesn't work. As the spiders react to their contact with the diatomaceous earth, the two watch in a mix of fascination and horror as the spiders begin to release ear-splitting screeches as they stagger and crumple to the ground before shriveling up and turning to dust. Charlene pulls slightly away from Judson's grasp to try and figure out what's causing the spiders to fall in their path. On closer examination, she notes that the ground that they're running across is causing wounds as they move over it and whatever fluid is held within their bodies leaks out onto the ground causing them to shrivel up into empty husks.
"What in Hades is that?" she questions in the barest whisper.
"That is diatomaceous earth," he answers while keeping his eyes trained on the dying arachnids, "the powder of naturally formed fossils of a sea creature known as the Diatom."
Charlene shakes her head in awe. "And that normally happens?"
"It does but at a much slower pace than normal by nature's standards. However, when magic comes into play," he closes the tome with a sharp snap, "it becomes a great deal more expedient and effective."
She watches as the last remaining spiders dry up into dust. "That is so disgusting."
"Yes," he states as if trying to point out the obvious, "but it…it's effective." He places the book back into his sack. "I suggest we head out before she sends out more of her little friends."
After one last look to ensure that they're safe, she puts the daggers away and walks over to the steep part of the mountainside that they need to climb in order to reach Arachne's caves. "It's not that far now," she finds a handhold and starts climbing, "there's a bridge at the top of mountain, it leads to the caves that she's been living in for the past few months."
"There's a bridge? Isn't that rather dangerous for your people?" She looks at him questioningly. "I mean, you've given her a direct path from the caves to your town."
She grasps another handhold and pulls herself up before looking down at him. "Arachne wouldn't dare to cross the bridge, her spindles fall too easily between the slats. And with the way it sways under someone's weight, she would never be able to cross without crashing through, the wood is practically ancient." She watches him struggle for purchase before taking pity on him and offering him her hand. He reaches up to take it and… "Hey, watch the hands, Librarian!"
Flushing with embarrassment, he smiles sheepishly and stammers out an apology. "Sorry," he gulps when he sees her venomous glare, "my…my hand slipped." He pushes himself up part way and begins to slip again when Charlene's hand darts out and grabs the front of his tunic to haul him up alongside her.
"Just make sure that it doesn't happen again or next time I might let something slip," she loosens her grasp causing him to slide down a few inches, "something like you."
Eyes widening in alarm, he immediately nods in agreement before they silently continue their way up the mountainside and with the exception of a few grunts, groans and withering stares, he only needs to request her hand once more to make it over a particularly rough spot. Finally, they arrive at the apex of the mountaintop and haul themselves over the peak with one final lunge quickly followed by flopping onto their backs as they attempt to regain their breath.
"Well," he notes with a heavy pant, "that…that wasn't so bad."
"It's not usually so difficult," she takes a deep breath, "but in my defense, I did have you holding me back."
"Yes," he returns sarcastically with a scowl, "thank you."
A few more minutes rest and then they push themselves off of the ground and head over to the bridge or what's left of it. The slats are all gone and although the rope structure that supported it remains, it is covered with thick strands of webbing that has also taken the place of the slats.
His eyes narrow as he studies the webbing. "This is obviously how the spiderlings were able to cross over from the caves to attack us."
"Apparently," she agrees in a disheartened tone, silently wondering how many spiderlings have already escaped from the caves and possibly entered the unsuspecting village. "So, what do we do now, Librarian?"
He stares back at her with a grimace before returning his gaze back to the remnants of the bridge. What now, indeed?
To Be Continued…

He'd made no real contribution to the world, to mankind, to history and would be forgotten soon enough, like countless billions before him. His grandchildren would remember him for a while, but after that he'd be gone, dead, buried and forgotten as if he had never existed. But maybe he didn't want to be forgotten. Maybe he wasn't just one of billions of irrelevant fleas. Maybe he could still make his mark..........." They said that there would never be another 9/11 attack. They were wrong.

1 Person Reviewed This Product
Oct 15, 2009"High-Class hostage" On the surface, this is simply an exciting chase story involving a wickedly-devious terrorist and some pretty normal, painstaking investigators who inch ever nearer their prey. However, this is actually a thoughtful work that takes recent events, from the 9/11 attacks to the death of Saddam Hussein to the rise of the European Union, and flips them on their heads. There is an undercurrent of nihilism throughout the script and a brave attempt is made to get inside the mind and understand the motivation of the terrorist. This will prove uncomfortable reading for some and has the potential to outrage others.

International Olympic Comm- ittee (IOC) vice president Kim Un-yong voluntarily turned himself over to prosecutors for questioning in Seoul yesterday following corruption alleg-ations, officials said.
Kim, one of South Korea's most influential sports leaders, presented a written statement to the Seoul district prosecutors office before being turned away to be summoned at a later date, they said.
"He returned home because he has yet to be officially summoned," a prosecution source said.
"Prosecutors later issued a summons for Kim, who was asked to appear at the office by 10:00am on December 29," the source added.
The 72-year-old IOC official denied Monday that he was involved in corruption after pro-secutors arrested a former sports official accused of bribing him.
In a statement to the public, Kim said he was ready for investigation by prosecutors and denounced local media reports which described him as "a corrupt figure."
Last week, prosecutors arrested Lee Kwang-tae, a former Korea Olympic Committee (KOC) member who was in office from November 2000 to July last year, for alleged corruption.
Prosecutors refused to confirm Lee's charges, but Yonhap news agency said Lee is suspected of providing 100 million won (US$84,170) to Kim to help win his KOC membership.
The arrest came after investigators raided Kim's home and office and seized a safe and documents.
Kim, also head of the World Taekwondo Federation, was one of several IOC members implicated in a corruption investigation surrounding last year's Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
Kim's 40-year-old son, John Kim, was freed by a court in Bulgaria early this month after US authorities dropped their extradition demand on graft charges related to the Salt Lake City Olympics.
The son was arrested in Sofia six months ago on an Interpol warrant issued by the US Justice Department investigating allegations that he was helped by the creation of a phoney job to gain a green card that allowed him to work and live in the US.
The case unravelled earlier this month when a US court cleared Salt Lake City Olympic bid leaders Tom Welch and Dave Johnson of bribing IOC members by offering them free gifts, study grants and employment to family members.
Kim was also under fire at home for allegedly putting personal ambition ahead of South Korea's bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics at the winter sports center of Pyeongchang.
Pyeongchang lost the right to stage the Olympics to Vancouver in a close race in July, sparking criticism that Kim lobbied against his own country to boost his chances of election as an IOC vice president.
Kim rejected the charges and filed damage suits against Pyeongchang bid committee officials and others.
